Forever Yours (I Choose You 2)

Chapter 5: Goodbye YG

It's been exactly one month since we told the boys. Everyone had accepted it and allowed me in as not just a friend, but Hanbin's girl. That is all, but one, Koo Junhoe. Junhoe was always a stubborn kid and we all accepted it, but now it felt a little dragged out. Our patience was soon to give in.

"Junhoe oppa, mwohae? Can I help?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Ah, ne... Mian..."

Every time I tried to offer him help, he only held his head higher and ignored me. Ever since then, it was a world without Hyesung or Hanbin for Junhoe. It was hard on me, however, with Hanbin being the leader of iKON, it was tougher on him. When the boys performed, Junhoe still ignored him. The fans laughed thinking it was a joke, but we all knew that this was real and the ignorance of Junhoe was not a lie. That wasn't the only bad thing about the boys and I. I really missed all of them when they left for tour, but most of all, I missed Binnie. The first couple few weeks he called and texted regularly, but after a while everything stopped. He stopped talking to me, completely. My only way of even talking to him was to talk through the V app, only when he was live. It was painful, I stopped practicing, I stopped paying attention in class, I stopped doing everything. Until one day, it happened.

"You needed to see me?" I was summoned to CEO Yang Hyunsuk's office.

"Hyesung, you're a nice girl, you know that, right?"

"Um..."

"You're smart as well."

"..."

"Which is why you clearly understand and will take this the way it is to be taken. You are no longer a trainee of my entertainment. You've missed countless check ups, had an unexpected leave, missed even more practices, and you're doing terrible in school. I gave you two weeks to change and see how you'd play out, but you've only been getting worse, which is why I'm dropping you. I don't want to get in the way of your future. You're failing school, I don't care about the training you've missed, but school, you are failing. If everything is too much to handle, I must drop you. Byul and Jieun will become a two membered group. You have a week to get your stuff together. Be out after that week."

-

Be out after that week. Those words replayed in my head over and over not coming to an end as I walked around the streets of Seoul. I was now living in Korea for no reason. I had no purpose.

*text tone*

I looked down at my phone and read the message. It was Byul unnie.

Byul: hey, are you alright? I'm sorry Hyesung, please come home and talk to me. I'll work this out. I'll talk to YG, I'll get you back, please just come home.

I smiled at her words. I found a nearby cafe and went in. I ordered a cup of tea and sat down. A couple minutes later, a young man came and sat right across from me. I didn't bother to look up at him or anything. I just sat there staring at the floor, sulking.

"Rough day, huh?" He said. He had a deep tone to his voice. He sounded quite familiar.

"Somewhat... It's complicated and I'm not supposed to even tell people."

"Huh, who knows if we'll even see each other after this. Come on, it'll feel better. And maybe I can help."
