[COMPLETED] But...I love him

Chapter 9

Our manager stood there, his moth wide opened and his phone to his ear. Slowly lowering his phone he finally spoke "Do you mind telling me what's going on here?"

All at once, Both me and Yeosoon scrambled so we were standing straight and at complete opposite ends of the elevator. We gave him a small bow and avoided eye contact. He looked behind him where the people outside of the building were located, still ponding on the glass and screaming. He rushed in, blocking any way of looking into the lift. He pressed the number of the floor our waiting room was, It was when I realised I didn't press the button that's why we were still on the ground floor.

The door finally closed behind him, leaving a lingering awkwardness. The manager crossed his arms, glaring at the pair of us. "What a way to be discreet." He said, sarcastically. "Seonghwa, I thought you said the rumours weren't true."

"They aren't." I replied.

"clearly." Manager rolled his eyes. He put his head in his hands due to frustration.

"This is all just a misunderstanding." Yeosoon finally spoke up. "We should just forget everything and move on."

Just as she said that the elevator door opened and we all started walking back to the waiting room. Everything was silent until manager spoke while walking ahead of us "I will forget about it just once. You have to remember you're under contract, Seonghwa. And Yeosoon, you're just about to become a trainee. Dating will not be aloud, especially your brother's member."

I observed her, she was walking beside me while facing the floor. I felt shameful about what had happened, even so what could have happened. Truthfully, I didn't know what came over me. What if she thought bad about me? I didn't want me to come across that way. The only thoughts going through my mind at that point was that I needed to apologise but our manager was trying to keep us apart at all costs.

...

Yeosoon's P.O.V --

Bizarre, That's what I thought of the whole situation. I thought back to the moment I got the first text message. Me and San sat together playing a video game in the waiting room, until I got a notification on my phone. I picked it up And read the text from an unknown number 'Just die!' Nothing but confusion washed over me. I just ignored it, thinking it was the same person as earlier, I continued to play my game.

Although, my phone would not stop going off. Finally giving up, I checked the messages. My heart stopped after every message I read. My whole body became dead. I could feel the moment my emotions left my body, my eyes became half open and my posture became damaged. San had noticed something was wrong because he patted me on my back and asked "You okay, Yeosoon?"

I nodded and gave a faint smile. In response he stood up and held out his hand, inviting me to take it. "Let's go to the cafeteria to get some drinks for the staff and members."

I looked up and him, He eyes were smiling to the point where I couldn't refuse. I put my phone down an the table and left with San.

The sounds of muffled screams filled the busy atmosphere as soon as the elevator door opened. I almost jumped out of my skin when I had seen a field of people swarming at the entrance of the broadcasting station. San had seemed just as shocked as me. "You don't think they are here for you, do you?" I asked.

"No, I don't think so." He said, his body tense.

We both made our way to the cafeteria but as soon as we stood only metres away from the entrance the screams became louder, they started banging on the glass walls. Both of us stopped where we stood and glanced at each other. "Maybe they are here for you." I said. San just ignored the audience and guided me to the opposite direction.

As we stood at the till, I couldn't help but think of all the threats I got, never mind the fact that there was only a wall and a bunch of security separating me and the people who probably hate me the most right now. Did it bother me? Surprisingly, no. It didn't phase me. The only thing I cared about was my brother. What would he have done if he found out? That was something I wasn't prepared for. But most of all I felt guilt towards Seonghwa, the scandal it's self could have destroyed his career never mind finding out his 'fans' were threatening me. I knew he cared about me that's why I decided in that moment that I wasn't going to tell any of the members. Especially Hongjoong, who adores his fans so much. My lips were zipped. That was also the point that I had to mentally strengthen myself.

San collected the drinks and gave me two of the drink holders. After taking them I said "You take them up, I'm going to stay here for a bit." He just looked at me.

"Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded and sent him off before he became stubborn. I couldn't help but smile every time I thought of how protective the members are over me, It made me feel some what less... lonely.

After sitting at the table, I took a sip of my coffee. I pushed my hair back and rubbed my eyes. I closed them for a moment just to re-gain my positive mindset, but was caught off-guard by a loud banging on the glass window behind me. I locate the sound only to come face to face with a young girl, her face was full of anger. I didn't know what to do, she looked at me with such hatred that it made me lose all of my conscience. Quickly after, a security guard followed her and tries to mover her away but was overwhelmed by the power of multiple other people crowding the window behind me. Without reacting, I turned back around and traced the lid of my drink, my face numb. At that point I had left my emotions elsewhere, something I had been doing since I was young. It was a habit of mine to switch my mind of when an obstacle came along. This caused me to become unaware of Seonghwa crouching down to my eye level.

From that moment on... Everything changed between us.
