"And that's a wrap!" ____ shouted as EXO grabbed their water bottles. ____ began packing her bags just then. 

As she did, she felt twelve pair of eyes staring at her. Not only were they just staring, the motions in their eyes were obviously sadness. ____ didn't even have to turn around not to notice. 

Her frown suddenly turned into a fake smile as she turned around, "Okay guys, I'll be leaving first! See you Monday!" She said. Before EXO could even say anything, ____ was already out of the room. 

The twelve guys just sighed. They should be use to it by now, it's been weeks since ____ has been distant towards them, but honestly, that's probably one thing they could never get used to; being ignored by someone whom they truly care about, someone whom is like family to them. 

"I can't take another day of this." Kai said. 

"We're all on the same page, but what more can we do?" Chanyeol asked. 

"That's the thing, there isn't much we can do. Everything is out of our reach." Xiumin said. 

EXO's faces suddenly sadden with guilt. They all looked at the leader, hoping for answers. 

"All I can say is what I've been saying since the beginning. We all just need to be there for ____, as a friend. That's all we really can do at the moment." Suho said. 

"That's what we've been TRYING to do for the past few weeks but ____ hasn't exactly made it easy to do so." Lay said. 

"It's like she's distancing herself from us ever since those saesang fans been crazy." Luhan said. 

"Everyday, she comes to practice with us, but she doesn't make much efforts into conversing with any of us. Not like how she used to. She goes straight to practice and that's it." Baekhyun said.

"Rememeber how she'd joke around and tease us for getting the steps wrong or just for the heck of it?" Tao asked. 

"I've been messing up on purpose just to see if she would tease me, but instead, she literally yelled at me for it." D.O said. 

"And once practice is over, she doesn't even stay to chill. She goes straight home." Kris said. 

"It's like.. She's just being a choreographer, a teacher.. I don't know.." Chen said cluelessly. "It's like.. like.." 

"Like we're loosing her as a friend, or maybe, we've already lost her." Sehun suddenly said. 

Every one looked at the makne who was just staring out of the window, not making eye contact with anyone. They were kind of shocked considering Sehun hasn't said much for the past few weeks. 

He thought things would be a little different considering EXO's saesang fans have been against her. He thought that maybe she'd lean on them, or at least him for some comfort and support but it's been the complete opposite.

As EXO all just stared at Sehun, all they could see was Sehun's back against them. Sehun.. just staring out the window, down below - something he's been doing for weeks. 

"You know, doing that just about every day isn't much help. It's only making you feel worse." Kai said. 

Sehun didn't say anything, as usual. All of s went over to him, looking out the window, and down below were their saesang fans, screaming and holding signs - all were harsh words about ____. 

As ____ got dropped off at Kevin's house, the driver, as usual waited until she was inside before he drove off. 

Once she was inside, she locked the door, threw her purse on the couch and went to the kitchen. 

There, she found a note on the counter. It read: 

My darling, dinner is in the oven. I'm sure it'll already be cold by the time you get home. Pre-heat at 350 and well.. You know the rest (: hehe same routine, right? Oppa won't be home til late so don't wait up okay? And oh! Make sure you eat!! I'll be checking when I get home >.< Love youuuuu <333 

- Kevin (:

____ smiled at Kevin's cheesiness. She the T.V and began pre-heating the oven. 

Just then, the news came on, and it was something she didn't wanna see nor hear. 

It was news about EXO's saesang fans outside of the SM building earlier. 

____ only sighed. Ever since news broke out, she's been hiding like a fugitive. Being escorted every where she goes. It was driving ____ insane. 

I'm not hungry anymore.. ____ thought. 

She sat on the couch and popped in a scary movie, although she didn't even pay any attention to the movie. 

How much longer will I have to stay like this? 

How much longer will I have to hide?

Why am I only a burden to others?

Why me..? 

Chapter 21 is here! What do you think? The irony.. Why is she being so distant? Why won't she lean on others for support? Isn't this the part where every one comes closer together? Not further apart? Mhm.. Anyway, stay tuned ~ ! I'll have another update hopefully by Wednesday afternoon! (EST Time)
