I laid awake the whole night, hoping the boys made up already. I kind of hoped no one would figure out about the fight I accidentally caused, but it would be hard to hide.

Some of the most outspoken members of the group were beefing. And it was all my fault.

I decided that the best way to distract from the tension would be to dress cute. So I put on a sheer, star-embroidered top with a bustier underneath. I matched it with blue jeans and black sneakers.

I straightened my hair to look sleek and I applied heavier makeup than usual, with red blush and tinted lips

Shortly afterwards, I received a text message. The boys were waiting for me in the hallway. I threw my bag over my shoulder, hurrying outside.

"Jiyeon! You look pretty today!" Minhyuk beamed once he saw me, "You're going to steal the show."

He looked around at the others to gauge their reactions, waiting for more complements to pour in. Jooheon agreed with a nod and Kihyun gave me a thumbs up.

But the other four were still being stand-offish. Shownu, Hyungwon, Wonho and Changkyun weren't paying attention, frowning.

"Are you guys feeling okay?" Minhyuk asked them, pouting.

The four looked up, accidentally made eye contact with each other, and looked away again.

"We're fine, let's just go." Hyungwon replied coldly, walking off without saying another word. He bumped into Wonho's shoulder on his way.

'So they're still arguing...' I thought solemnly, staring down at my shoes.

I glanced up at the group as we all started walking away. My eyes locked with Kihyun who was watching me closely before turning and walking away.









"Is something going on?" Kihyun asked me. He had a break before his rehearsal.

Changkyun, Shownu, Wonho, and Hyungwon were still not speaking. The four of them didn't sit next to each other in the van and avoided making eye contact. When we arrived at the concert venue, their behavior didn't change either. Kihyun obviously noticed something was up.

"What do you mean?" I asked, my voice going up in pitch.

I knew lying wasn't the best thing to do, but I had to lie. Otherwise I would look like a complete asshole.

"Wonho usually runs his mouth nonstop, and I haven't heard him speak once today," Kihyun said, "And Shownu just seems down... Is something going on?" He looked at me knowingly. "I've never seen any of them act like this before. Not even Minhyuk can make them laugh."
