After the concert finished they all rushed backstage to change into another set of clean clothes laughing and jumping around, excited the presentation had succeeded.  A few of the fans that had gotten VIP tickets were waiting for them to take pictures and get autographs before they had to leave to the after-party. When it was finally time to leave they all went on separate cars to the club.

Renting Eden had been a risk since they didn't know how many people would sign up for the event, but looking back it had been a great decision. Parking her car right at the door Moonbyul got out of the drivers side fixing the sleeves on her grey shirt, throwing a dark blazer on top before locking arms with Eddy as he made a few poses for the fans waiting for them at the entrance. Laughing they gave the press a few poses before walking into the club.

They were the last to arrive and were received with a loud applause and a small hallway of people letting them walk to the small stage at the front of the floor where the DJ would be. Grabbing a mic each they called the rest of the team up bowing deeply in front of their family, friends and fans.

“Thank you so much for supporting us today both here and at the concert.”

“Please enjoy the rest of the evening, all drinks are free and there will be some food around for you to munch on.”

Moonbyul smirked lightly as ZICO rushed of the stage when he saw Hwasa hugging her tightly from behind. She’d have to interrogate those two later. Turning her face she caught Eddy staring at some point in the middle of the room. Frowning she followed his stare her hand reaching for his when she found what he had been looking at. Tugging him with her she tried to distract him.

“Ed. Oppa! Listen to me. Don’t look at them. It’s not worth it and you know it.”

“It still hurts Byul. Two years and it still hurts. She had to choose that ...” He said getting his hand back walking away form her and into the mass of people in the dance floor.

I knew inviting her had been a bad idea, no matter how much he tried to hide it…Now, what do you have to do to get a stupid drink here… Looking around she found the bar, pushing everyone aside to get to the drinks first. It didn't matter if they complained, she had organised this thing, and she had a right to have a drink whenever she wanted.

Finally with a drink in her hand she got ready to go look for her friends but as soon as she turned around she came face to face with one of the managers of certain celebrity that now wanted to be a part of GreySky.

“How many times do I have to tell you Mr Chan? We are not interested in employing your client.” She tried running away but the man followed her.

“And how many times do I have to say that you’d be the first to enjoy having my client on your ranks. He can bring money, his name is big enough to drag at least a million fans into your company. Do you have any idea how much money you’d be making?”

“Look. That’s the first thing you got wrong about GreySky, it’s not about the money but allowing the artists to grow and explore certain things that their companies are not comfortable with due to pr and image management.” How can a person be so stupid and annoying and make it this far in an industry like ours.

Moonbyul couldn't help but groan as more and more managers, CEO’s and young artists came to her throwing their ideas at her face. The only good thing was that they started to have a debate with each other pretty much ignoring her, given her a chance to pay attention to the rest of the party. Letting her eyes wander around she saw Jackson with the rest of the boys of his group and a few girls from TWICE. His eyes clearly sad when Junghwa joined the group giving JB a short peck on the lips, but the smile never left his face. I wish I was that strong…

Her eyes shifted when she hear loud screeches. Trying to see between the men around her she hid a smile on her drink when she saw LE, Hwasa, Hyuna and Jessy running to each other. Shaking her head she looked back at one of the men pretending to be interested.

“Yes of course of course. GreySky would be proud to sign a contract with you but obviously we need to create a proper contract first, see what you can do for us…the usual” She answered with a polite smile not even trying to hide how fake it was.

As the people around her kept talking, oblivious to her lack of attention, she started looking for a petite brunette with a mole under her right eyebrow. Her frown deepened, as she couldn't find her at first. Did she not come? Maybe she was feeling sick and decided not to come? But she didn't stop looking until she finally found her on the dance floor with Wheein.

Solar and Wheein seemed to be having some sort of dance battle with the girls of Red Velvet. Moonbyul's eyes went down to look over Solar’s body slowly. Her head shaking lightly as she saw the high heels the shorter girl was sporting. Her back is going to hurt tomorrow. It might make her bum look better but she’s going to be complaining for a week. Her eyes going further up Solar’s long legs until she reached the dress. Solar was wearing a short white dress with an open back. Moonbyul felt how her heart started beating faster and time seemed to stop as she watched Solar dance. The leader might not have been the best dancer, but the way she got into the song had always fascinated Moonbyul. A small smile reaching her face as she saw Solar laughing loud at something someone had said. Moonbyul couldn't help but look down again over the other girl’s legs taking a deep breath. Jesus Moonbyul control yourself. One thing is that she missed you and another one is that she’d be comfortable with you looking at her as if she was just a piece of meat. Forcing her eyes back up she met Solar deep brown eyes, a shiver traveling up her back at how the other girl was looking at her. . She caught me staring. They kept looking at each other, Moonbyul's head tilted slightly to the side with a small frown and a smile, Solar soon forming a smile on her own face.

“Miss Moon are you listening?” No I wasn’t.

“I’m sorry I was thinking of ways to make our companies work better together. We’d be honoured to have someone like you with us.” She said in a cold business like tone drinking a bit more of her glass.

Once she managed to drift the conversation back to other companies and all the men were gloating on their egos Moonbyul turned to try and find Solar, but the older girl was nowhere to be seen. Standing a bit taller on her heels she tried to locate the white dress in the multitude but the whole group of friends was now behind a wall of strangers. Frowning she looked down at her drinking finishing it up in a gulp.

“This will bring millions to the industry, I heard you have international contacts that will work with the company isn’t that so Ms Moon?”

“Eh? Yeah yeah, we have a couple international artist with contracts for collaborations and so…But you’d be surprised about the prices and contracts we have. You see, we believe in music. So all those millions you are drooling about are going to be donated to different associations. So if I were you I’d forget about getting another mansion with out money. You know what? It’ people like yo-“ Moonbyul stopped as she felt a small hand travel down her arm and clasp hers tightly.

“Gentlemen, if you’ll excuse us I really need to speak to Ms Moon about a few details concerning the new MAMAMOO album.” The person said with a small bow, setting Moonbyul's empty glass down in a nearby table dragging her away.

Giving the men a salute Moonbyul just walked behind Solar until they reached a small open spot in the middle of the dancing floor. Looking down she noticed how Solar’s fingers interlaced hers, letting her thumb draw small circles on the back of the older girls hand. Her eyes traveling up the leaders arm reaching her face, Solar wore a determined look as she tried to find them a good spot to talk, not too crowded. Moonbyul couldn't help but smile at how adorable she looked. Solar must have felt Moonbyul's eyes on her as she turned around giving Moonbyul a bright smile.

“Thank you! I didn't know how to get away from them!” Moonbyul yelled over the music but Solar just shook her head not hearing a thing. Chuckling Moonbyul leaned in closer to the other girl’s ear “I said, thank you, I didn't know how to get away.” Pulling back with a grin, ther hold on the other's hand not breaking.

Solar was thankful for the darkness of the room that hid her blush as Moonbyul leaned in closer. “You looked like you were about to kill someone” She whispered back, her hand on Moonbyul's shoulder to support her as she stood on her tiptoes. How can she still be taller than me when I'm wearing this heels?

The rapper laughed hard raising en eyebrow. She was about to say something when she was half tackled out of Solar’s view, the singer inmediatly started missing Moonbyul's hand in hers. Standing back up she hugged Amber back tightly with a laugh. Amber whispering something on Moonbyul's ear getting a laugh from her, before turning to motion for someone to come closer. 

Solar felt how her eyes thinned and glared at the black haired woman that was now hugging Moonbyul. Her laser eyes making holes on Krystal head as she praised Moonbyul. I finally get her alone and her freaking crush comes along.

“I’m such a fan of your project! Amber told me all about it, how you were the one that came up with most of the technical stuff. I wish I had known before so I could join you guys!” Krystal said excited as her eyes didn't tear away from Moonbyul.

“D-don’t worry I’m sure we can find a way to get you in.” Byul said with her charming smile. Solar couldn't help but pout at the look of pure admiration her rapper had for the younger girl. “I’m sorry to cut this short but I had to talk to Solar about something pretty important.” Solar wiped her head back up quickly as she heard those words. Still unable to speak as Moonbyul said goodbye to the other to girls and took her hand to finally take them to a quiet place.

Without looking back Moonbyul wrapped an arm around Solar’s waist, her hand resting comfortably on the small of her back, helping her go through the dance floor towards the stairs.

Finally settling down on one of the small VIP tables on the second floor Moonbyul went to grab them some drinks while Solar just sat there stunned. Once the younger girl was back with the glasses and a smile Solar couldn’t help her self but ask.

“Did you just blow off Krystal? You’ve been head over heels for her since…well since I’ve known you!” Solar’s face settled on a pout when Moonbyul started laughing.

“So? She’s just a celebrity crush. I admire her a lot true, but it’s not her who I wanted to spend tonight with." The look she sent Solar gave the older girl chills. "Plus Amber is going to bring her to the company all the time so I’ll get my chance then.” Moonbyul said sipping from her glass leaning back a bit on her seat.

“Your chance for what?” Solar said trying to be smooth but completely failing as she drank slowly from her glass.

“Talk to her. I have a song I think would suit her voice pretty good. Well technically it’s not my song, I just wrote some of the lyrics.” Running a hand through her hair Moonbyul messed it up a bit before her long blonde hair fell back in place.

“Oh yeah that makes sense…” Solar was avoiding looking at the other girl and they both knew it. “Well this is awkward.” She said suddenly making Moonbyul choke on her drink with a laugh. Solar’s eyes grew big moving closer on the small sofa to pat Moonbyul's back. “Oh god don't die on me now. Then it would truly be awkward.”

The rapper couldn't stop coughing, shaking her head a bit before she drank a little trying to clear .  Turning to the side she noticed how close they were, a blush creeping up her neck and cheeks. Coughing a bit more she looked down at her drink. “So…you had fun at the concert?”

“Mhm. It was great. I didn't know you had it in you to pull this whole thing off.”

“It wasn’t just me you know. Eddy really is the CEO, he knows a lot about finances, Amber made sure we had the approval of the big companies, LE was in charge of organising the company back here, employees, the building…And then ZICO and Jackson just tried to recruit as many people as possible. I just made sure that the app looked cool.”

“We both know that’s a lie Byul, you did so much more. Like…like the songs” Solar finished in a murmur but their proximity let Moonbyul hear her.

“Oh right! I’m sorry for using your melody, really. I just…when you played it for me I knew I had found that one thing that was missing. The last piece of the puzzle. You are the reason that song exists, of course the last piece needed would be your melody…” Moonbyul reached over taking Solar's hand in hers slowly, scared that Solar would snap out of it and leave her. “I did miss you. A lot.”

“I…I missed you too.” Solar’s breath caught on as she looked up and saw the sparkle in Moonbyul's eyes. “The kids missed you a lot. We had to drag Wheein out of your unit a couple nights. She even tried to steal some of the clothes you left behind…I found your denim shirt on her laundry once…” They both laughed at the antics of the younger girl. What Solar was afraid to tell her was that she herself had kept some of the taller girl's clothes. 

A few drinks later they had gone over almost every plausible topic, Solar now pretty drunk while Moonbyul was just tipsy. Moonbyul was laughing hard at how Solar imitated one of her students with a less than perfect pitch. Shaking her head she took her blazer off leaving it on the back of the sofa, rolling her sleeves up her forearm not realising that she had forgotten to cover her tattoo. Solar quickly noticed, grabbing Moonbyul's hand in both of hers and moving closer, almost sitting on the rappers lap.

“When did you get a tattoo? Why didn’t you tell me?” Her cold fingers tracing over the lines making Moonbyul shiver. “Wait…is it…”

“It was a bad night. I had too much to drink. We all did. And when we went to get a tattoo…I just told them to do the first thing that passed through my head.” She gulped at how close Solar was. “I need a sun to live, so I had to get a bit creative with the desing.”

When Solar looked up and their eyes met everything seemed to slow down and Moonbyul's free hand moved up to Solar’s face putting a lock of hair out of her face. “You know…ZICO forgot to say something when he explained what GreySky meant. It wasn't just that we needed a reminder of the bad days, it was also a reminder to myself of how I didn’t have my sun with me anymore…that maybe working hard I could get it back. Move past the grey clouds...”

Any feeling of dizziness Solar had disappeared immediately as her eyes closed when Moonbyul's hand ran over her face softly and down her neck, over the chain of her necklace. Her hands were still around the younger girl’s wrist, her thumb moving slowly over the sun and moon permanently inked into her skin.

With shaky hands and hitched breath Moonbyul traced the chain, tugging on it lightly as fi asking Solar for permission to take it out. When she received a small nod she let the golden necklace fall out of the dress. Her eyes growing wide and moving between the chain and Solar’s now open eyes.

“I found it on the bin. I’ve been wearing it since.” Solar didn’t stop looking at Moonbyul's hazel eyes as her finger traced over the word. Byul-kong. “I…why did you throw it away?”

“I was mad. I thought I needed to leave everything that reminded me of you behind. This necklace kept reminding me of that Christmas and how much I wished they were all like that. How much I wished I could spend 25th of December with you. How much I wished I could spend every minute of my life with you.” Moonbyul's hand traveling back up Solar's neck slowly, cupping her jaw and moving her thumb over Solar’s cheek stopping right besides her lower lip.

“Byul, are you drunk…?” Solar breathed letting her face fall deep into Moonbyul's hand scared of what the answer would be. Scared that this was just the alcohol speaking. 

“No Yongsun I’m not drunk. I’m just intoxicated by you.” Moonbyul smirked starting to lean closer to Solar.

“BYUL! BYUL! There’s a fight! C’mon quickly!!” Wheein came in running, her face red and sweat covering her forehead.

Moonbyul stood quickly running behind Wheein, Solar following close behind. Once they got down to the stage Moonbyul pushed past everyone to get to the centre of the crowd. On one side Amber and ZICO tried to calm down Eddy, that had a split lip and a purple eye, while on the other side a very cocky Jang Ki Ha stood with his friends, one of them rubbing his knuckles, surely the one that hit Eddy. Jackson also stood nearby, his right fist also red. Moonbyul shook her head, he was probably responsible of the state a couple of the other guys were in.

“He was ing groping IU. She told him to stop but he wouldn’t. It wasn't just gropping he was practically forcing himself on her.” Eddy spat looking at the older guy.

“Hey hey Eddy, calm down ok?” Moonbyul said standing between the two.

“What is it with you anyways? She’s my girlfriend. I can do with her whatever the hell I want. She.chose.me” Jang Ki Ha said standing closer to the guitarist.

“Look, I think it’s for the best that you leave. I understand this is a big mess, but you wont fix a thing like this. Just go.” Moonbyul said with a tense tone as she pushed Ki Ha back lightly.

“Who the do you think you are to tell me when to leave? It’s not as if this is a good party anyways, and your company? That’s laughable; you’ll go down in a few months when the whole world forgets about you and your ty music. Plus who is going to support a company founded by dikes.” He spat to Moonbyul's face with a smirk.

“Get out of my party.” Moonbyul responded in a cold tone, her hand rose as she saw Solar trying to walk closer to her. That didn't go unnoticed by the older man that laughed giving Solar a wink. Going to walk closer to Solar Moonbyul stepped to the side to get in between.

"Why do you protect this one? She's jsut another little minx. A hot one tho..." His eyes traveling up Solar's body.

"Don't even look at her." Moonbyul grinted through her teeth as she stood a bit taller, her fist on her sides turning white. 

“Wow. You really are as pathetic as I thought. You still think a woman like her could ever be into you? You would think that after two years you would’ve given up on that. You were, and still are, the joke of this industry. Everyone knew how much you loved your little...thing. But she never gave in to you did she? Just enough to keep you on the hook.”

“I said get out.”

“And what are you going to do if I don't leave. My pinkie weights more than you.” He walked closer to her towering over the blonde.

With a move of her hand Moonbyul called for security to take him and his friends away. She then looked back at Solar with a wink telling her not to worry about what the guy had said, turning around to look at Eddy and his split lip she shook her head. Solar stood proud at how Moonbyul had managed to handle the situation and was about to walk to her when she felt a breath on her neck and a voice on her ear.

“I told you you’d regret it.”

Before she could even move she saw in horror how a figure walked to Moonbyul from behind using the commotion as a distraction to hit Moonbyul hard on her back and knee, a loud and clear crack reached Solar's ears as the rapper fell down.

AN: So things start getting a bit more intense. I'm sorry for the cliffhanger...and the moonsun scene might have been too mcuh now that I think about it but meh what's done is done. This chapter is also a bit longer than usual to make up for the past two that were a bit shorter. Also, Jang Ki Ha is IU's rl boyfriend for all of you that didn't know or care. I really don't know him but he has to be a bit of a douche.

Please keep commenting, it's great to know what you guys like and don't. Thank you to all of you that subscribed. 

Before you start with theories about who is it that attacked Moonbyul, no it's not Eric, it's going to be someone none of you will be able to guess. I jsut needed a bad guy and I happened ot be listening to one of his songs. He jsut has to be a jerk for the story to go forward.
