The fans were still at the front of the establishment, crying their voices out. The vans arrived the site... the boys’ faces were etched with anxiety and exhaustion. As soon as the vans stopped, guards formed a line to let the boys in. The antis yelled and screamed as Leeteuk steps out with the y costume on and followed by the other boys.

                Yesung looked straight at the establishment, enduring the yells of the fans at him. He could hear foul words to his wife and he’s just holding his anger not to yell back or else it’s another issue. He could hear them... He could hear them loud and clear.

                “YESUNG-TERMINATE-YESUNG-TERMINATE-YESUNG-TERMINATE-~~~” The chants of voices across the horizon. Flashes of camera can be seen, reporters sneaking just to get a comment.

                “They are much worse than only 13 fans” Ryeowook said

                “Don’t mind them...” Leeteuk said as soon as they reached the establishment. “They are not worth it”

...

...

                HyeMin reached the said location... it was a quiet place where one could get enough privacy... the very place where HyeMin would usually spend time... with him. HyeMin puts her hair in pony tail and adjusted the scarf on her neck. The chill winds seemed to get to her easily... its winter afterall.

                She hears someone coming near, giving soft thumping sounds on the snow... HyeMin turned and saw a smiling face of once she thought was an angel... but she just discovered that all of it was just a disguise. He sat beside her...

                “What do you want?” Hyemin asked directly.

                “No hi, hello, how are you?” MingWon smiled at her.

                “I’d rather it to be direct” hyeMin said softly and sighed.

                “I’m giving you a last chance Hyemin...” MingWon said. “Leave him and come with me, we’ll flee together from the madness”

                “And why would I even do that?” HyeMin frowned.

                “Aren’t you tired of the issues? Yesung really is owned by the public” MingWon said

                “Well, you started the issues” HyeMin said. “Why don’t you just give up on me? There are other girls out there who deserves your attention”

                “Listen HyeMin... what I did was a mistake. I never realized what you really mean to me until you’re gone.” MingWon said.

                “Then if you really loved me, why don’t you do as I did to you a year ago?” Hyemin asked.

                “I don’t understand?” MingWon looked at her as she turns to face him.

                “I set you free...” HyeMin said. “I convinced them not to look for you anymore...”

                “Which was a stupid mistake” MingWon said.

                “No, it was meant to be” HyeMin sighed and clasped her hands together. “I love him, MingWon... I really do”

                “What does he have that I don’t? I’m sure I’m richer than him, and if you compare our physical stature, I’m better. I’m more confident that him, and I know more about you than him!!!” mingWon said.

                “The very thing... he loved me and I loved him back” HyeMin said. “MingWon... riches, personality and other aspects does not count in this state... what counts is that he accepts me the way I accept him in every aspect.”

                “Then that’s it... you both are going to suffer. I’ve given you my last warning... you’ll see what I can do” MingWon sneered and as he was going to walk away,

                “As long as we’re together, then I’m will to suffer” HyeMin said. MingWon just smirked.

                “You’re a little selfish aren’t you?” MingWon said. “You don’t care about the future to what’s going to happen. Yesung’s family’s living is at stake. His brother is still studying, his father and mother’s business will go downhill if it will continue to be as this. You know what fans can do... if you will still continue to do this... well I imagine a farewell stage for a member of the group”

                “What...” HyeMin paled as she heard it.

                “I’m not kidding... you know what the only 13 fans threatened the agency?” MingWon asked “They threat to stop supporting and don’t buy merchandises... and the goup itself will go downhill and lose their popularity. I see sales coming down and a possible disband”

                “That’s not going to happen” HyeMin said firmly.

                “You think?” MingWon said. “Just look at this way... when sales dropped off, popularity drops off, then offers drops off... so what’s the use? If the business is not making anymore money, you’d have to quit, saving yourself... don’t you think?”

                “That’s not going to happen” HyeMin said. MingWon smirked.

                “Let’s see” Mingwon said “Any day now... you’ll see how fans will act... some will support others will deny. When two collides... I see the very same happening of SONEs and ELFs... Sadly, because it’s ELF vs ELF” HyeMin winced as she remembers the incident on the Dream concert a few years ago. Hyemin was left on her spot, pondering on her thoughts, not minding the cold wind that gently passes her.

                “What do we have?” Leeteuk asked, they were seated on chairs while tea is being served to them. This time, Lee Soo Man is with them together with the managers.

                “Requests from the fans” SooMan said softly, not looking at them directly.

                “What do they want?” Heechul asked. The managers shifted on their seats uncomfortably.

                “Of course you can hear their chants out there” SooMan said.

                “If they meant to remove Yesung from the band, then we’re not going to let it happen...” Leeteuk said.

                “That’s not all...” SooMan said softly.

                “They said that they’re not going to support the 5^th album... if Yesung is in it” One of the managers said that shocked the boys.

                “But this is insane!” Heechul bursts out. “How stupid can they get?!”

                “Stupid enough to rally in front of the building” SungMin said softly.

                “Do we have any other choice?” Leeteuk asked.

                “It’s either to terminate Yesung... or divorce” SooMan said. “I called you to this meeting to let you boys decide because the media demands a conference in a week or two.”

                “We can’t decide if those are the choices, sungsaenim...” Leeteuk said.

                “It’s all to you, boys...” SooMan said “Think about your future, think of what will happen... choose carefully”

                Yesung closed his eyes...

AiMei: Things are getting out of hand... what will this cause? Which choice are they gonna take??? Oh God help them T___T
