I was sitting in the studio with my producer, Hyunsik, as we were trying to come up with my comeback single. I knew what I wanted in my head and after hours of discussing we had a similar idea and a sample track picked out, but no words would come to mind except for the chorus.

Sighing I put my pen and notebook down as I was just ready to head back home. Standing I walked around a little bit before excusing myself seeing as how I was a little parched. Walking out of the studio I went down the hallways filled with other practice rooms and studios causing me to sigh because it seemed to be getting noisier by the day. Going into the Cafeteria I saw a few people scattered here and there but it was a few to none who were actually eating. Walking towards the vending machine I scanned my company card before choosing some water and as I waited I glanced at the TV. It was always playing CEY and I hated the drama they usually cover so I don’t watch it unless I’m on it.

“…JB is reported to be seen going into a Jewelry shop, and insider reports show that he seems to be buying an engagement ring. I guess JB has his plans for the future with Jr planned out, and when more news comes into play we will keep you updated. Next…” I blinked as they showed a pic of him walking out as he was stuffing a little bag into his pocket.

My heart sped up as it clenched and for a minute I was on the verge of tears, then it hit me. I’ll show him what he missed out on, and he'll regret the day he has ever left me. Breaking up with me in front of millions of people as I stand on stage accepting my awards. Grabbing my water, I raced backed towards the practice room as I threw the door open causing Hyunsik to jump out of his seat.

“What? Is something wrong?” He asked frantic but the only thing I could do was slam the door behind me as I sat down grabbing my pen and notebook once again.

For a whole 15 minutes I wrote and scratched, wrote and scratched until I had to get a new pen because I ran out of ink. When I finally finished and it looked amazing I walked over to him as he sat by the sound board making the sample more to my standards. Dropping the book in front of him he picked it up as he read it over before looking at me as if I had just won a Noble Peace prize.

“T-This is amazing! Where did all this come from?” I smiled as he praised me and with that my heart didn’t pound anymore.

“Here.” I pointed towards my heart causing his smile to kind of fade as he knew who it was meant for, and with that I couldn’t say anything.

“I finished the track, so you can get in there anytime that you want. We’re booked all day.” He took a seat again handing me back my notebook and knowing him I should get it over with while the feeling is still there.

Walking into the booth, I fixed the stand and mic so that it was to my height, and once I was ready I put on the headphones. Doing a little mic check I cleared my throat as I took a small swallow of water before I nodded at him to start.

I was out of it because of your gentleness

Because of your sweetness, because of your lies

My dream changed – instead of a famous singer

I tried to become a good wife

I was such a fool, I was such a fool

My singing got better after breaking up with you

After living crazily with music, all of the song lyrics

Seemed like my story so I sang them to death

Little by little, slowly, my tears dried

I continued singing until the song ended and when it did I stop breathing for a minute. I looked at Hyunsik as he was just staring at me with this smile on his face causing me to smile back and I couldn’t help but feel that my face was wet. Raising my hand, I quickly wiped away my tears because I promised myself that I wouldn’t cry for him or anybody after him.

Walking out of the booth I was surprised to see the CEO as he stood with this weird look on his face. For a minute I thought that he was going to cry but instead he started laughing as he clapped causing me to just stare in confusion.

“I came to see how things were going and as far as I can see they are doing really well. We are going to start announcing your comeback tomorrow at noon, so be prepared for a photoshoot at an early hour. I hope your singing real did get better because with this you will win every award there is to name. Your manager will have your schedule for tomorrow, and keep up the good work.” Thanking him he left causing me to look at Hyunsik as he just shrugged causing me to do the same as I took a seat next to him.

“It seems as if you are going to have a lot of work if it is to be announced tomorrow.” He shrugged as he began working on it and that was when I knew he was mad about something. “What did I do now?”

“As your closets friend and the person who is going to become family soon, I only have one thing to say, and that is that you really need to let go of him.” He sighed causing me to mimic him as I could feel that was coming.

“I am over him, and I can assure you that, it’s just that I happened to see the news and I felt a certain type of way about it. So I wrote it down, and now we have this master piece. I promise you that even if he came back on his hands and knees begging for me back I would kick him square in his face.” He laughed as I acted out me kicking him.

“Promise?” Holding out his pinky I took it locking it with mine as I pressed our thumbs together sealing it.

“Well let me get out of here so that you can make me a billionaire.” Standing I grabbed my stuff before striding out of the room as he went back to what he does best.

Walking down the halls I saw my Manager as he was coming straight towards me with a file in his hands. Stopping in front of one another he handed it to me causing me to tear it open as I read over it to see that this kid had nothing on him, expect for the fact that he is from overseas. Sighing I held it as we walked out of here so that he can take me home and go on his 7th blind date of the week, his Umma is my favorite person ever.

“I can tell you really don’t want to go. Tell me is the person ugly, horrible personality, rich and stuck up? Give me what you know Hyung!” He laughed as he began walking closer to me almost closing the distance.

“I…don't…know.” I rolled my eyes as I gave him the squint before I sped up annoyed with him at this moment.

He started calling my name as he started picking up pace causing me to start running knowing that he was right behind me. Laughing I made it out of the building but here I am again not paying attention. I ran straight into someone causing them to catch both of us and for a minute I couldn’t help but curse under my breath. It was him. It seems as if he is always where I don’t want him to be.

“It seems like we met sooner than we would have expected.” He smiled at me as I stood up straight.

“Is seems so. I’ll be going now.” I began walking past him but once again he was holding me back.

“Do you want to go out with me?” My eyes almost feel out of my head causing me to look at him to see if he was playing with me.

“Excuse me?”

“I-I…Do you want to go on a date with me Seo Eunkwang?!” He yelled it out as my Manager was now staring at him as if he was crazy along with his and the few people that stood around walking in and out of the building.

I was left speechless and not knowing what to do I began looking around for some type of help. Not knowing what to do I told Hyung to get his information and I’ll get back with him, because at the moment more and more people where crowding around us. All but running towards my van I yanked open the door as I hoped in slamming it closed.

This King J guy is off his rocks, and now I’m stuck wobbling along with him. If he is trying to drag me down, then he has another thing coming; maybe I will accept this little “date” and find out what he wants from me, because he is the only person who has had the balls to ask me out in public besides JB. When Hyung got in the car with this ‘really?!’ look plastered all over his face as I asked for his phone, which he all but tossed at me. Catching it with ease, I began looking at the contact info as I rolled my eyes at the name he put in for himself, E’s Prince Charming, so deleting the name I replaced it with HEADACHE because he had me clearly mistaken. When that was done I began looking for his blind date and she was pretty but she wasn’t his style, and anyone could tell that she isn’t. Exiting out of everything that I had gone through I handed it back to him causing him to look at me weirdly before focusing back on the road.

When we arrived I got out as I wished him luck as I began making my way inside. Pressing in my code I greeted the security guard before making my way towards the elevator not really one to run all the way up the stairs again. My legs start cramping whenever I come close to pair of stairs now. Pushing the up button, I pulled out my phone as Changsub's ringtone started shaking my pants. Answering it he was telling me about the recent video and a bunch of hoopla.

Laughing as he tried to reenact what happened the elevator finally came and as I stepped on this cold air swept over me. Pressing my floor number, the doors began to close until a hand slide in between the crack followed by a body.

“Sub I’ll call you back in an hour tops, okay?” After hearing him yell at me to promise I did before hanging up as I began to look through my social medias trying my hardest to ignore the eyes that were staring at me.

“So you are going to ignore me?” He finally spoke but I acted as if I didn’t hear him and continued on with what I was doing. “You’re really going to act like this? After 3 years of being together you are just going to ignore me? I would have never guessed.”

Sighing I finally looked at him to see that his hair had grown out as it was sticking out of his snapback like crazy. I would have fixed it but then again I don’t know this man anymore.

“Ahjussi! Can you stop harassing me with useless talk? If you keep this up, I’ll call the police.” I snapped at him before going back to this picture I was trying to figure out.

“Well since I’m a stranger I’m going to treat you as if I was the paparazzi.” Snickering for two reason I shrugged my shoulder just wanting him to go away. “What is your relationship with that rookie King J?”

“No Comment.”

“Are you really going to act like this?” Sighing loudly, I locked my phone as I stuffed it in my pocket seeing that I was one floor away from mine.

“Act like what?” When the doors opened I stepped off not caring if he followed me or not because I changed my pass code anyway.

“Eunkwang! Just answer my question?!” He grabbed me pushing me against the wall and I just couldn’t stop wondering what he really wanted.

“Why do you care so much?! You’re with the one you wanted to be with, so just leave me alone. It shouldn’t matter jack who I’m ing or dating to you anymore. We are STRANGERS! The only time we can even be consider anything is colleagues and that’s barely. Now let me go JB!” I saw this look of angry flash in his eyes as he let me go before running down the hall and into the stairwell.

Taking a deep breath, I walked to my apartment door as I pressed in the code as the door unlocked playing its little music. Pushing open the door I slipped off my shoes as I threw my bag on the counter. Stepping into the coldness of my empty house I turned up the heat wondering why the month before winter had to be so cold. Sighing I took out my phone as I called Changsub back putting him on speaker ad I walked into my room getting undressed.

“YAH! Didn’t I tell you to move away from me?! I’m not afraid to use this knife!” I laughed as they were probably having another fight.

“Sub don’t kill him; I need him to make me a billionaire.” I yelled at him as I slipped my pajama shirt over my head.

“Well then tell him to stop playing around so much, and do what I asked of him the first time. Anyway why is it so quiet? Are you home…” I waited it out as the phone went silent knowing that I should give him his joke. “ALONE?! AHHHHHHH!”

I jumped a little bit before laughing as I heard chocking in the background. Flopping onto my bed I waited until everything got quiet on their end as Hyunsik was probably dying, and Sub laughing wasn’t helping.

“Yeah, but tell me why that bastard had the audacity to follow me home, and then on top of that ask me about who I’m dating. Like why is he doing this to me?” It went silent for a minute as I could hear the sound of rustling before Hyunsik's loud voice filled my bedroom.

“Do you need me to beat his ?! Actually I’m going to call him out to meet me and then I am going drag his until he’s all bloody! How dare he? Especially after all he has put you through!” I could hear Sub in the background trying to calm him down and he didn’t stop ranting until a loud thunk sound filled my ears as he started screaming.

“I told you to shut up. Anyway don’t worry about it too much, he's just jealous seeing as how things are going good for you and not him.” Huh?

“What are you talking about? It was all over the news that Jr and him are probably going to get engaged.”

“I don’t think so, well anymore. If you actually were up to date with CEY then you would know that he was seen leaving a hotel room yesterday night and let’s just say that it wasn’t JB who he was with.” I laughed and I don’t know why but it felt so good to laugh like that.

“I’ll talk to you later I have a full schedule booked tomorrow for my comeback. Also tell Hyunsik that I will take him up on the offer later.” Hanging up the phone I stuck it on the charger and for some reason when I did that my stomach began growling.

Walking out into the hallway I began making my way to the kitchen, well that was until I heard a knock on the door. Sighing deeply, I walked over to it as I pulled it open to see someone who I didn’t expect.

“Jr?” He just stared at me as if I had done something wrong which caused me to wonder if I should close the door or not.

“Where is he?” He pushed passed me as he began looking around as if he was just going to pop out of nowhere.

“Where is who? JB?” He looked at me once I said his name and I just shrugged because how was I supposed to know where he ran off to. “I don’t know. He came by and I told him to leave, and that was it.”

“That better be all, or else you won’t like to see me when I’m angry. Move out my way!” I stepped aside as he stormed out of the door and down the hall just like that loser did an hour or two ago.

Shrugging my shoulders once more I closed the door locking it as I went into the kitchen wondering why there was so much drama surrounding me.
