"Are you crazy?"

Anita walks into an empty room in the company. She places her hands on her hips, sighing as she looks into the mirror on the wall. As JR walks in, she looks at him through the mirror. He smiles at her and she rolls her eyes, hanging her head.

"I don't get to see you often anymore."

"And you're not going to! What is so hard about that?"

Jr sighs behind her. "I want to see you more."

Anita turns around and finally looks at him, really looks at him, and she can see the sincerity in his face. "You broke up with me. Remember?"

"But it's not like I wanted to."

"If you really didn't want to, then you wouldn't have! We could have denied the rumors and continued to date secretly. Or we could have admitted we were in a relationship. Or—or tell the world I'm dating Baekho and it would all be for the cameras. You and I would still be dating, but no. You broke up with me, in public, so everyone could see."

"I'm sorry."

"Yes, you are. Sorry that I'm taking it so hard and won't talk to you, but not sorry that you did it. Not sorry for 'giving me' to Baekho, and definitely not sorry for telling me you weren't even sure if you liked me."

She couldn't believe she was explaining this to him. She couldn't believe that she would forget those horrible words and how they made her feel.

"It's only been a couple of weeks since then. You can't tell me that all of your feelings for me went away that soon. Don't you still love me?"

Of course she did. He was right that her feelings just didn't go away overnight, but she didn't want to tell him. She didn't want to fall even more if he decided that it really was all just competition. Where would she be if he decided he really didn't like her?

"Do you... do you still have feelings for Dongho?"

She didn't know. She didn't think so. She spent 3 months just getting over him, and that was difficult since she had to see him almost everyday on set and interact with him. Then she had been dating JR for 9 months. She thought all the feelings floated away. But now, yelling at Baekho, going to dinner with him... it was starting to be like before.

JR took her silence as a yes to his question.

"You haven't been talking to us. To any of us... even Ren, who you talked to daily. You can't just go from texting and calling us, to nothing at all." JR tries to take a step forward, but she takes one step back, running into a chair.

"I don't want to get in between you guys. You're a group, brothers. Things are rough between you and Baekho already,so I don't want Ren or any of the others to choose between me and you guys."

"Why would they have to choose? Why can't they choose both sides? That's what family does."

"And I'm family?" She asks.

JR sighs, putting his hands on his hips and sighing. "Of course you are," he says without lifting his head.

"Better safe than sorry," she says. She moves to the door and moves around him, praying he doesn't grab her to make her stay. Because maybe she would stay and wrap her arms around him.

He doesn't reach out to her. He lets her open the door, leave and close it behind her. As soon as she's out, she looks up to see Baekho leaning against the wall, hands in his pocket, waiting.

"I thought you had more scenes to reshoot," she says.

"All finished."

She nods her head twice and turns to walk out. "Where's JR?" he asks. Anita pauses, nods her head in the direction behind her, and walks again.

"There're cameras out there," Baekho says, seeing that she's walking to the front doors. "Go to the back and through the garage. I have a van waiting for us."

"Us?" She stops again and turns to her. "We don't have any fake dates planned for today. Meeting at the shoot was it."

"It's not a fake date, but a real one, but not with just me. The entire group is going to have a pajama movie night, just like we used to."

Anita looks to the back door, the door to the room she just left, and then back at Baekho. "Was this Minhyun's idea? JR said everyone misses me."

"Everyone does." He finally takes his hands out of his pockets and stands up straight. "I know you're mad at me, but... please don't take it out on everyone else. Aron, Minhyun, and Ren care about you too, as a dongsaeng. It's not fair to block them out."

"I'm not explaining to you too why I separated myself from everyone too, but it's for everyone's good." Even though she said so, she still looked towards the back door, wanting to go and desperately needing a movie night.

"Anita... please." Baekho reaches out for him, but she takes a step back. "There's going to be pizza, caramel popcorn, and scary movies. You know how we hate scary movies, but we're willing to watch them because of you."

"I didn't think it would take this much convincing?"

Anita moves out of the way as JR comes out of the room. She stands in the middle, but a few steps away, able to see both of them.

"Ren's been texting you and asking you, but you haven't replied to his messages. He's setting up, hoping that you'll just come, even if you don't reply to him," JR says.

"I blocked his number."

Anita could hear both of the men sigh and shake their heads at her.

"And if something were seriously wrong?" Baekho asks.

"Or if he really needed to talk to you about something that he couldn't talk to us about?" JR asks.

"Are we just going to judge my actions all night or can I go home now?"

"Anita." Baekho takes a step forward, but this time she doesn't take a step back or notice the pain in JR's eyes.

"You can either walk on your own to the van," JR says, looking at her with heat in his eyes. "Or Baekho can carry you there."

Anita watches JR walk away without another word, and she fights the craving to grab onto him and bring him close to her.

"What he said," Baekho says.

"You're such an ass," Anita says back.

"And you are stubborn. Anita..."

"Don't. Not with that voice. You don't get to say my name like that."

"Like what?" Baekho takes a step towards her again, but this time she takes a step back, seeing the sparkle in his eyes. "Will you be walking to the van, or will I be carrying you?"

"I'll walk on my own," she whispers.

She walks past him, but as soon as he's behind her, he grabs on to her shirt and pulls her back. She's not able to keep her footing, and she falls into him. He wraps his arms around her and leans his head into the warmth of her neck. Anita can feel the heat of his breath on her skin as he whispers.

"I'll fight for you as long as I need to. As hard as I need to. I won't give up until we're together—really together."

Baekho had never been like this to her. Their entire relationship was full of yelling and stolen glances. He had never once smiled at her for too long, or even stood too close to her. Now he had his body wrapped around her and it was causing her to have new feelings she never had before. Unfamiliar feelings than she had before. Different from what she felt from JR.

"I don't like this."

"You're lying," Baekho whispers.

She pushes his arms off her, and he lets her. She walks toward the back down, not looking back at him or rubbing the goosebumps on the back of her neck.

"I hope the movie is so scary that you scream and hide and your ego hurts," she called back.
