Nali POV

After another gruesome day of practice I finally laid back down.
It had been over 2 years since we had debuted. They time had gone fast.

We barely slept anymore. A bed was now even more precious to us than riches. I sighed as I rested my head in my arms. Why? Oh why?

I was tired, stressed, and my Anxiety kept getting worse. We were getting more popular and famous by the day, but with Pleasure theres always pain.
As soon as our first hit song came out, people started hating on some of us.
Especially me.

I was shamed because I didn't wear enough make-up and that hated for not wearing it. I was shamed because I was too skinny then fat shamed because my cheeks got bigger. The haters comments kept getting worse and worse. They didn't know when to stop.

Now our next come back was in 2 days and I hadn't even changed anything about my appearance. I had to go to the salon tomorrow. I sighed and groaned as I pulled the covers up to my head and quickly fell alseep.

The next day Katie (My salonist) asked me what haircuts I wanted and what color to dye my hair in. I decided to go with Black with blond bangs. I loved it.
It went perfect with our new album. Panther.

I also told Katie that I wanted my makeup to be more Drastic them last comeback. And she agreed.

Maybe now our fans will accept me.
I thought.

Then I remember that we still didn't have a name for our fans. Well I had a few Ideas. Favs. Oaks. And, Twigs, were my favorites so far. I decided to talk them over with the girls and see what they had to say. I hoped they liked it.

"All done Nals! As always you slay with that new hair babes. Every girl will envy you forever." Katie said.

I laughed and replied." Thanks Kat, as always you did amazing. Ill see you around"

"See ya laters babes"

I giggled and gently shook my head as I left the room. I put my headphones in and listened to our new song. I was obsessed. Ji-yoo sang so beautifully and Bina's rap sounded so good. Then my solo came and without knowing I closed my eyes while I was still walking and started to sing and dance, I suddenly bumped straight into someone.

"Ouch!"

"I-im sorry I wasn't.. Nali?"

"H-Hyunjin?"

It was just like we had met all over again. The memory of 4 years ago flashed in my mind. I had tried to forget about Hyunjin. So so many years avoiding him and blocking him like the normal girl I was.

Now here he was. Grown up. Looking handsomer then before. But those eyes, those lips. They never change. Had he ever been that tall and masculine? Even the air around him felt Manly. But he still smiled but I couldn't shake the feeling of something... Regret..

But what could I do?! We couldn't ever be together. But maybe now after years of being apart? No. We couldn't.

I started to run. I heard him calling after me but I didn't stop. Tears brimmed down my cheeks as I ran like ever before. I ran and ran. My feet started to burn, my lungs begged for air. But I didn't stop. I wanted to get away, Away from all the pain.

I finally fell down knees forst into the pavement of what seemed like a children's playground. I cried and screamed. I yanked at my hair and smacked myself. How could I be so stupid! I loved him, I knew that now.
I should've at least given him hope that one day we could be together again.
But I didn't! I never did.

I stayed in that position for what seemed like hours until I felt like I was being watched. I turned to see a hooded figure get closer and closer. I felt my heart thump in my chest. Every muscle in my body started to contract and out of anger I ran towards him ready to fight when A hard object hit my head.

The last thing I saw was two men carring me into a dark van full of a horrible smell. I was suddenly out cold.
Conciousness slowly left me as I emerged into a black abyss.
