Late at night, none of them could get into sleep. Yunho have a book in his hand but eyes somewhere else while Jaejoong he kept his eyes shut but still tossing around in his bed. As for Yoochun and Chagnmin, they spend almost an hour in the dining area having their eyes staring still on the piece of music score. A newly compose song by Yoochun. Upon hearing footsteps coming down the stairs, their head peeked out to see Yunho and Jaejoong coming down.

“Can’t get into sleep?” Yoochun paced towards the two.

Jaejoong seated on the stair and sighed, “No one could.”

The other followed as well. Changmin leaned against Jaejoong’s legs as he rested his head on his lap and gazing at him, “I wonder what Junsu hyung is doing…”

Before any of them could make a prediction, they saw Junsu who is oblivious with their present heading straight to Ri In’s room. Bringing up his hand, he knocked on her door.

“It’s me, Junsu.” his voice slightly above a whisper. The door opened, he sees Ri In was still busy composing. “Stop all those, don’t you understand? We’re quitting so whatever you’re composing will just go into drain. What’s the point with you not sleeping for those music scores?”

Junsu couldn’t stop himself from being bothered by Ri In’s presence. Ever since Ri In moved into the house with them, he can’t help but every night stepped out from his room and check on her whether she’s having a good sleep. But all he could see all this while was Ri In often compose song till midnight and head to Avex on the next morning without having not even a nap. It somehow worries him; something he’s wish that he could stop doing.

The four guys sitting on the stairs placed their ear to the wall which is a barrier to Ri In’s room. They were eavesdropping Junsu and Ri In’s conversation. To their surprise, Junsu had finally made his move to confront her. And their voice was real loud.

Ri In grasped on the door knob as she looked up to Junsu sternly, “Because when I’ve started something, I’ll not stop when it has not come to an end yet. No matter how hard it could be, I’ll never say give up.”

Anger raged inside Junsu, he pushed on the door opened wide, “Well that described on how you started a relationship with me and ended it when you’d finally finish using me in craving popularity, am I right. A very good way of yours in starting and ending things!”

Letting the anger overwhelming her mind, she can’t help but instantly pushed against his chest and made him unstable from his standing. “Why on earth are you kept bringing that up? Since that’s the past let it past already but why must you bring it up time and again when all of it so close from fading in my head!” she babbled.

Junsu grabbed hold on her hand and bring it up close to his chest. He looked down to her eyes intently, “You still love me, aren’t you. Jang Ri In.”

It was always been a question that Ri In came to fear to be queried. She clearly knows she can’t deny her love for him. It’s undeniable.

“In the end he asked that question again,” Yoochun rolled his eyes in frustration.

Averting her eyes from his, she tried her best in withdrawing her hand from his paining grasp. “I’ve made it clear long time ago. It’s your ear of yours have problem or the brain? Why can’t you get what I said!” she finally swung off his hand.

Still not giving in, he reached his hand over her waist and bringing her close to him. His arms were so secure in her waist that she had no space to move. “Look in my eyes and say it. If you hated me so much, why are you still keeping this, what’s the use of it.” he picked up the musical box. The first present he gave her also the start of their relationship.

“Honestly, I don’t need this anymore,” she snatched it from him and threw it on floor to see it shattered into pieces. In the same time, Ri In has a feeling that her heart just same as it, shattered in pieces. Staring up into his eyes coldly, “Happy, that’s the end. Everything had ended. In fact it had ended long time ago!”

Once again, Junsu’s fragile heart had hurt by her words. He released her, “Whether you agree or not, we’re quitting. In fact, you have no right in stopping us.” He paced out from her room to see his other members seated on the stair, eavesdropped each and every of their words.

Ri In who still oblivious with that, she followed behind Junsu. “You’re not the only one in DBSK. You can’t decide on this. Have you ever think of Manager Park, those who had supported you all this while, the fans, people who had spent so much on you in order to make you the shiniest star on stage!” she paused to catch on her breath before continuing, “If you were to stop right now, what about final stop in Budokkan? All tickets had been sold! What crucial state are you leading Avex to and do you realize DBSK might just collapse?”

Not bothered by the four of them, Junsu whirled, “Even the person I care the most is no longer have a tinge feeling for me. What is left for me to concern?”

“Enough,” Yunho made his way down to the both. It startled Ri In to see all of them there all the while. “Ri In you were right, we’re too selfish to make such a decision. We’ll give it one more try, again.” He held on her shoulders, “Thanks from pulling us out from the nightmare. Disappointing the one who love us is the thing we hated the most.”

“And we’ll not let that happen,” Changmin placed his arm on Yunho’s shoulder.

Joining the group, Jaejoong turned to Ri In, “We don’t know how hard the path ahead us will be, but at this point, the thing we are certain is, giving it a one last try.”

Yoochun reached out his arm enthusiastically, “We can do it!” Jaejooong placed his on Yoochun’s then Yunho and Changmin did the same. “Hey, our ex assistant, aren’t you supporting us?” Jaejoong elbowed her. A smile escaped her lips as she too placed her hand on. Peeking on them over his shoulder, he felt a nudge on his waist.

“One last time,” he agreed and has his hand touched on Ri In’s.

“Toho…toho…toho…” they enthusiastically cheered. “Fighting!”

-

Ever since then, all five of them try their best in rehearsing for their final show of their second live tour. Through out the week, they did not skip any meal as every time when someone steps out from the dance room, they see five sets of lunch box. Even when they are scheduled in midnight work, they’ll still see supper box. It filled with nutritious food and a note stick on the cover. Written with encourage messages.

“It’s really unfair that Junsu always get the most delicious one!” Changmin groaned as he unveiled the lunch box.

“Why are you all in an argument again?” Ri In stormed into the dance room.

“Just who these secret fan is,” Jaejoong said with his mouth filled with food.

“But she really could write the nicest word in the world!” Yunho commented.

“Junsu’s owned the longest message,” Yoochun nudged him. “It must be Junsu’s secret admire.”

“Maybe is Taeyeon the one prepared these,” Ri In said.

“It could be, didn’t she came to Japan,” Jaejoong said.

All in sudden, her phone rings and it stunned her jumped a little. Before she could even place it close to her ear, screaming was heard.

“JANG RI IN!!! You better come back now!” it was CEO Kim.

“What is that again,” Ri In agitatedly answered as she stepped out from the dance room.

“Do you know the story you’re writing had made SM bashed with letters. All of them are asking you to publish a book, saying how much they miss you and all!” CEO Kim babbled none stop without giving any space Ri In to slide in. “You better come back and solve the problem now. By the way, be prepared to record your album.” He hung up the phone.

“Hey…” Ri In shouted. “What’s going on?”

-

Yoochun knocked on the barrier to Ri In’s room before stepping in. “Hey what are you doing?”

Immediately, Ri In hid the musical box under the pillow. “Yah, you scared me!”

“Idiot, since that’s so precious to you,” Yoochun seated at the edge of her bed. “Then why did you throw it so heartlessly?”

“In order to kill his last hope,” Ri In continues fixing the musical box. “No matter how, the melody still sounded weird.”

Placing his hand on her head and slightly giving a squeeze, “You have not change since the first day I know you. Always will only cares about other people’s problem and never think about yourself.”

“Why is that,” Ri In frowned smilingly.

“Get up early in the morning and cook for us, didn’t you?” Yoochun slightly glared, “Say it would be Taeyeon who made. You know by saying that would make Junsu think and suspect is her.”

“Whatever it is, you don’t need to put that in concern anymore. I’m fine.” Ri In assured as she held on his arm. “I’m going back to Korea after all.”

“About that, all four of us will be sending you to airport and Junsu won’t as he not feeling…”

“Ahh cut that off,” her eyes back to the musical box in front her, “After saying those hurtful words, he definitely taking me as his enemy.”

-

“Zhang Li Yin,” Junsu touched on the image that displayed in the screen of his cell phone. The picture he took with Ri In when they first going out. “You don’t love me at all, isn’t it? Hankyung is the person you chose right from the start…” he rested his forehead on the screen. “But I still can’t get you off my mind. Time made me fallen for you, will time fade you away from my heart and bring in another person?”

-

“Ri In, it’s time to head to the departure area,” Yunho handed her the passport and boarding pass.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her,” Hankyung’s voice was heard from the back. All of them whirled to see Hankyung.

“Why are you here?” Ri In was surprised by his present.

“To bring you back to Korea,” Hankyung slightly pinched on her cheek.

Yoochun was rather annoyed by that, “Ri In ah, don’t forget the time we had spent in Japan. Especially your true heart, don’t let anything blind you.” it has double meaning that only Ri In and Yoochun understand.

“What have you been through here that you shouldn’t forget?” Hankyung asked in serious.

“Nothing, don’t listen to his crap,” Ri In pushed against Yoochun’s head. “We shall make our move. Take care guys and do not easily…”

“We’ll not give up anymore…” they cut her off. “Bye…” all four of them surrounded her with a huge hug.

“Let’s go,” Hankyung slid his hand into hers and walked into the departure area.

Little did she know, far apart, stood a guy who having stare only on her. Junsu wish he could throw off his pride and run up to her with a hug. He wanted so much to force Ri In love him back so that he won’t be such miserable as now. Leaning against the advertisement board, he took out his phone and pressed on the delete button. Deleting all the pictures he had took with Ri In.

“I know I needed to erase everything that could make me remember you.” Junsu closed his eyes, “erase the past in order to move on with a new relationship and writes a new future.”
