Yuta's point of view

Junhoe and I run around his backyard collecting a bunch of leaves and rocks to make "food." Playing restaurant outside at the age of six was our favorite past time.

Junhoe's mom calls us in for sandwiches and lemonade.

Junhoe: Yuta, will we always be friends?

I nod, a big smile on my face.

Me: Forever and ever!

He grins.

I'm not having a good day.

I was restless all night resulting in no sleep. Everyone around me whispers and points at my messy hair and bags under my eyes.

The makeup artist tries her best to bring me back to life. A commercial for toothpaste is the last thing I want to do. It requires a lot of smiling, and smiling requires energy I don't have.

"Let's see that healing smile!"

Go to hell.

Elena's point of view

Valerie watches as I pace around the kitchen thinking about what Char said. A sadist? Sadism? Yuta being one wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, but me being a full blown masochist?

Hmph.

Me: Val?
Valerie: What?

I sigh, this is so awkward.

Me: Do you have any kinks?

Her eyes widen.

Make no mistake her and Winter are my group mates and friends. But I'd be lying if I said we were all bestfriends, we trained for two years and debuted right after. During the training believe it or not we barely seen each other.

We all had our own weaknesses to work on. Me with dancing, Winter with high-notes, and Valerie with rapping.

Valerie: Kinks? Not really. Why?

I scratch my head awkwardly.

Me: There's a guy..

She cuts me off.

Valerie: I'm gay, I know nothing about how men think.

That's true.

Me: It's nothing like that, it's just...

I sigh.

Me: This guy maybe a sadist, and I..-
Valerie: Yuta?

My eyes widen.

Valerie: Don't look so surprised. You go out your way to annoy him so he can degrade you, that's very..odd.

She sits down her tea before tapping her chin.

Valerie: I think you should talk to someone more experienced. I'm not going to tell you what you should and shouldn't do but please be-careful. We're idols.

We're also humans, does everyone seem to forget that?

Not wanting to embarrass myself any further I decide to do my own research on sadism and masochism. It's no secret I liked being choked, spanked and all the other things.

But masochism is much more..

The issue is it doesn't scare me, it intrigues me to actually try it.

But how?
