"You know... I like you sometimes."
"Aww unnie thank you!"
"No. Skinship."

"NamElle I can explain!"

Jyhoon suddenly said as she was about to leave the room. Confused choreographer of the girl group turned around and tilted her head pressing the heart shaped neckless between her fingers harder.

"Explain what?"

Sowon gulped and stepped in between them glaring at Jyhoon feriously. Hyemi was watching them with the with a smile, then took out her phone and started texting someone.

"I didn't mean to-"

"Didn't mean what Jyhoon? To cause a mental break down for Minah? Or didn't mean to make me feel like a villain?"

Jyhoon lowered his gaze and shook his head. Sowon could see that his throat was crushed by a fload of tears, but he would have never admited it. Jyhoon would have never let them see. Both, NamElle and Sowon, knew very clearly, that Jyhoon wasn't the whining type.

"Either... I just wanted to see you."

He finally looked up at her and NamElle just coldly handled the stare, which used to send chills down her spine. The heart shaped neckless was burning a hole in her chest.

"Well you did. Didn't you?"

She shot back coldly and turned around. Her heart was aching and Sowon knew that without even glancing. The vocal trainer came up to Jyhoon and pointed her finger into his chest furiously.

"Friends don't do that to other friends. Especially best friends."

She hissed at him and turned around as NamElle. She froze just like her unnie and gulped eyeing the people in front of her.

Standing by the door was Seulmi, she had a phone in her hand, which was shaking, and the leader of RBQ kept on glancing at the screen, then at Hyemi, and all from the start.

It wasn't hard to understand that when you add one plus one, Hyemi texted Seulmi to come here, but she wasn't alone. She brought someone along. MinJin. And this time there was no Oliver around.

A chuckle excaped Heymi's mouth as Jyhoon glared. Seulmi gulped and pushed MinJin behind her back. Sowon immediately came up to NamElle and put her hands on NamElle's shoulders.

"NamElle, still under dad's feet?"

Her eyes popped, MinJin didn't even hesitate to insult her.

"MinJin, no need to be rude."

Seulmi suddenly spoke up calmingly patting her boyfriend on the shoulder as NamElle glared, but ignored her help.

"Who even let you into the building?"

She hissed at MinJin, who smiled at her mysteriously and out of the blue cracked his head up laughing like a devil's child or satan itself. Hyemi chuckled still texting. Not even horified glance from Jyhoon stopped her from enjoying the show in front of her eyes.

"I did."

Seulmi answered blushing and hooked her arm onto MinJin's. She was never usually shy and seeing her leader blush, made Hyemi frown. She didn't remember the last time she saw Seulmi stepping back and if she did at all.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Leutae burst through the door dragging some girl with her. The new arrival smiled at everyone in the room greeting everyone equally, but definitely didn't get the same reaction from everybody.

"Manager Jung wants to see us now."

The girl said to Hyemi and Seulmi as Leutae nodded checking out MinJin, but Seulmi glared at her fellow band mate and she immediately stopped. Hyemi was giggling again. The girls went out the room, and thankfully took MinJin along.

NamElle sighed and cringed as soon as they left. Her chest was going up and down fast and she collapsed into the chair that Sowon offered to her. The heart shaped neckless seemed to be weighting a ton if not more.

"I need air." She said to Sowon ignoring Jyhoon's existance. Her friend stood up nodding and was about to walk along, but NamElle blocked her way shaking her head. "And I have a phone call to make."

She walked out dialing the number already. Sowon sighed and bit her lip turning around to face Jyhoon. One of her best friends, or was it ex best friends.

"You messed up big time."

She just spitted at him and Jyhoon frowned.

"Everything is fixible! Besides who knew that Minah would react like that-"

"Don't blame it onto Minah, she is a good girl and if only you hadn't been a freak and played with both my best friend and my student... Ahh Jyhoon you're a wreck."

Sowon sat down as if she was unable to hold her body weight onto her legs straight anymore. Jyhoon was bouncing in his place too frustrated.

"I never played with NamElle!"

He yelled and Sowon lifted her gaze with a very sad expression.

"First, how about Minah? Second, that doesn't change anything."

He was now almost running around, screaming, breaking down walls. It was too much to handle at one come, but now he had no second chance. Soon, his and Enna's back was supposed to be turned to this people. It's for the best if he manages to unnatach himself from them.

"What the hell do you mean it doesn't change anything?! It's the same NamElle I knew since we were babies! She will forgive me in now time."

Sowon tilted her head and bitterly giggled. She was obviously laughing out of frustration and not fun. Jyhoon didn't contain his feels well and soon, a burning anger shined through.

"Forgive? Maybe. But if you really knew her as well as you claim, you knew she won't ever turn her back on Suhan."

Jyhoon's eyes popped as he heard that and now he had to take a seat as well. Sowon and Jyhoon was sitting beside one another, but not even glancing other's direction.

"Who's he?"

Jyhoon seemed broken even from the outside. His face was screaming out of mental pain, but Sowon chose to ignore it.

She leaned back in the seat and put her hands onto her legs. She was looking at the empty space as if her stare was drilling a hole in the floor, for good couple of minutes.

Words seemed to be too heavy to be spoken. All the girls faces flashed in front of Sowon's eyes. Jessica. Nari. Juna. Yoobi. Enna. Chaejin. Minah. She didn't want to even think of what could have happened if they got to experience what her best friend went through.

Silently in her mind Sowon promissed to herself, that no matter what she will have to sacrifice, she will protect those girls, even if they will need protection from their own selves. She was determined to help them survive in this industry. Exactly, survive.

Just moments later Sowon realized that Jyhoon was still waiting for an answer and she looked up uneasy. They were both in pain. From the feeling like they are strangers to one another.

"The one you could have been."

Hey guys, I'm sorry for the update, which I know sucks. It does seem like a filler chapter right? well it will be important in the future, but I beg you to tell me if you're okay with the chapters where girls don't appear? It won't be comman,I promise to rarely put those, but sometimes they are just needed. Also the question is, are you even a little bit interested in NamElle's, Sowon's, Jyhoon's, MinJin's and RBQ girls' past? Also who do you think is Suhan? And will he play a big role or no? Tell me in the comment!
