Jade’s POV

It’s been hours since I’ve been stuck in my room, not wanting to go out. I didn’t want to face anyone. Especially Heechul after I was HUMILIATED right in front of him.

“I can’t believe I was so stupid that they found out!” I said to myself as I cuffed my face with my pillow.

Downstairs

Henry’s POV

Since it’s been a while now that Jade’s been up in her room, Leeteuk wouldn’t stop glaring at us this whole day.

“So…?” he exclaimed while crossing his arms.

“We’re sorry…” me, Yesung, & Ryeowook said at the same time.

“Alright. Now go tell her that before she changes her mind to stay here in New York for GOOD” he said as he pointed up the stairs.

“H-Hyung” I said. “Do you really think she’ll leave us after what happened?” I asked him worriedly.

“Well she’s probably mortified after you guys exploided her bias!!! It was obvious that she didn’t want any of us to know” he screamed at the three of us while leaning near.

“That’s true…” I said while pouting.

“Sorry, hyung… We were just curious~” Yesung rubbed his neck while trying to say it nicely.

“Aishh you guys…” Leeteuk sighed.

“Well it’s Siwon’s fault too!” Ryeowook said while pointing at Siwon who was standing at the corner.

“WHAT?? Me?????” Siwon exclaimed.  

“Well it wouldn’t have happened if you haven’t started the topic”

“I was trying to change the subject! You guys were all talking about her staying in New York, when actually, you shouldn’t be asking her!”

“Guys guys!” Leeteuk went inbetween before the arguement starts. “No time for arguing! Now all we need is for someone to go up to Jade & say they’re ‘Sorry’”

“Yesung hyung then?” I suggested.

“NO WAY” Leeteuk said. “She might rip his head off”

I watched Donghae who was sitting on the couch. It seemed like he had a pretty good plan.

“I got it” he exclaimed, then suddenly pointed at Heechul who was resting at the armchair.  “Hyung, you go cheer her up!”

“W-WHAAAT???” Heechul exclaimed loudly, almost falling off his seat. “Nu-uh. That’s a terrible idea. Plus, why would she listen to me?”

“Well didn’t she just agree that you’re her bias?”

“Yea but she said that it was like a long time ago”

“Come on… You really believe her?” Donghae smirked, which left Heechul wondering for a bit there.

Later

Heechul’s POV

With the book in my right hand, I walked up the stairs towards Jade’s room & knocked on the door. A few seconds I waited, but no answer.

“Jade, can I talk to you for a minute?” I asked her from outside, then opened the door. She wasn’t on the bed, though. Instead, I found her on the balcony outside. She heard that I came in, but decided to stand still, as if I wasn’t there.

“What’re you doing? You’ve been up in your room almost the whole day” I told her as I approached the balcony. She glanced at me for a moment, then looked away.

“Jade?”
