First it was Mark.

"You... you're not going back on your word are you?..." Renjun voice cracked. He clenched his fists and tried to prevent himself from crying. "Are you just going to break our promise? YOU promised US that we'll stick together."

"Renjun. You're not listening to me"

"Oh I'm listening alright. You think you can just leave us because we're going to fail as a band? You brought so much faith to us and brought us together. We'e worked so hard and now you just want to throw it away?"

"Renjun-"

"Did you not see the headlines we've just started to make..this was our dream Mark, your dream mark. Are... Are we just not good enough for you?.."

"Exactly"

It just felt like multiple needles were forced through his heart. Impulsively Renjun grabbed onto Marks collar, threatening to punch him. Though Mark didn't flinch.

"Go ahead. Might as well hate me now."

"Dammit. you.."

He was getting on his nerves. Renjun punched him as hard as he could. Left a bruise on Marks cheek.

"DID YOU EVEN THINK THIS THROUGH MARK? WHAT WILL THE COMPANY SAY? WHAT WILL OUR FANS THINK? WHO WILL BE OUR REPLACEMENT LEADER?"

"..."

"well SPEAK DAMMIT!"

"I will speak with the company about my departure, as for the fans... they'll forget about me sooner or later. As for a replacement leader perhaps the company will bring in someone new there's absolutely no way you'll be suited for leader. As for the members.. hmm"

Mark stayed silent for a while

"I know I just broke our promise but.. one last promise I'll make to you. Promise not to tell any of our members about this. This fight, my reason behind my departure. Keep quiet will ya?"

Lastly it was Haechan.

"What do you mean?" Renjun asked Haechan.

"I just.. need some time off"

"like a break? how much time do you need?"

".. forever"

"for..ever?"

"This popularity is stressing me out way too much, and the company.. the company.. isn't doing shit to help me."

"Well if you needed help you've could've-"

"-Asked you? What will you do for me? How would you even help me."

".."

"I'm going to bid my farewell to the others. Goodbye Renjun, maybe we'll meet again"

"..great so you're leaving us like mark. Are you on his side?"

"Yes, I agree that everything that has happened is your fault."

"But I-"

"You brought us into this company, we didn't ask for it yet you insisted we join because 'That's what professional artists do'. Yet you didn't put our feelings into consideration."

"Hyuck"

"Bye Renjun."

"Bye."
