5 days have passed since Lucas last contact with Yuqi and Yuqi is beginning to feel the differences from his sudden silence

Not knowing and just assuming. She thinks it’s better not to try to message him first, he is in the middle of a hectic schedule after all, she said to herself, maybe he wants to fully concentrate and focus on it

Besides getting the busy part right, the rest of Yuqi’s assumption was incorrect. Suspicion and jealousy Lucas got going on for Seonho and Yuqi plays a major role in his silence

Lucas can’t lie to himself that those feeling didn’t bug the hell out of him that day when it did and still is till this day. Thus, he thinks it’s better to let it cool down first before communicating again, to prevent from saying or asking anything that can make me regret later on, he said to himself

Minnie who shares a room with Yuqi notice there hasn’t been any calls from Lucas for more than 3 days. The average maximum days the two usually don’t contact. She wonders and asked if they got into a fight and Yuqi answered, “Not that I remember. Why?”

“Nothing” Minnie stumbles down from her bed to Yuqi’s side and sits right next to her, “Maybe I'm used to the view of you facetiming him at this kind of hour” she giggles

Yuqi changes her body position sitting up straight and leaned her back to the bed head, “Hmmm” and scrunch her face responding to Minnie’s answer

Minnie then ask when the two last contact each other, Yuqi told her every detail she remembers that happened 5 days ago

Went to do a fitting for the PUBG event and while waiting for the stylist to set everything up, her and Lucas facetime each other but Seonho suddenly knocked and appeared behind the door, “I got taken aback,  I quickly put down my screen phone facing the table” she then continues to the part where she picked up back again seconds later just to say goodbye and hung up

It has been quite some time Minnie haven’t heard Seonho name because he’s busy with his individual schedules himself, “Seonho? What was he doing in the company late at night?”

“Getting a script that he accidently left behind after a meeting”

“He just happens to pass by where you were?”

“No. He happens to pass by oppa and asked. That’s how he end up knocking on the door”

“And Lucas got upset you cut the call for him?”

Yuqi is not sure and it never crosses her mind about it, “I did send him a whatsapp telling him I was sorry and we can continue later if he wants but he just read and not replying it till this very day”

Minnie is now convinced with her analysis that Lucas is in fact jealous of Seonho, “He’s upset alright”

“Why would he?” Yuqi squinches her forehead

“It’s called jealousy” 

“Impossible” Yuqi answer with a light laughter, “How can he when he doesn’t even know who walked in the room that night” she forgets that she called out Seonho name loud and clear for Lucas to hear, “and besides, Seonho is the last person he should be jealous with”

“Does Lucas know that?” Minnie asked a question Yuqi didn’t have the answer to

Yuqi never did mention Seonho once to Lucas, “Maybe because it’s been a long time since me and Seonho meet let alone contact each other”, Yuqi found the reason how she can somehow skipped an information about Seonho to Lucas

Minnie couldn’t believe Yuqi could when Yuqi and Seonho was literally one of the targets of a dating rumor that period of time

“Wae?” Yuqi watch Minnie as she went completely quiet for a couple of seconds. Thinking.

“Is it possible Lucas found out by himself?” Minnie seems to have connected the dots to the facts of the sudden the whole why Lucas not contacting Yuqi for 5 days

“About what?”

“Your dating rumor with Seonho?”

Minnie got Yuqi wondering, “Maybe? I don’t know” she’s not really sure if he does but one thing that she knew, Lucas will likely to google if he have any questions about the things he didn’t know at the moment

+ + + +

Lucas went back in his position to get ready to practice and start memorizing the next dance moves for SuperM’s debut song, Jopping, with the rest of the member that Kai and Ten collaborate together choreographing it

In the middle of watching them with the other managers,  WayV’s manager receives a whatsapp from Kun. A forward of an article that was posted online not long ago and has the WayV’s member names listed in it

The article became a hot topic of discussion because it’s connected to a current issue and conflict of event that’s been happening for months now and the netizens who have clicked on it is very vocal expressing how unhappy they are discovering the names on the list

Yuqi’s name is also written down it but unlike the WayV members, her face is emblazoned underneath the title along with the 7 other idols

Manager hyung : There's nothing we can do 😔

Manager hyung : We can only hope that the people who reads it can understand the situation and differences of it

Kun : Should we tell Xuxi about it?

Manager hyung : Even if we don’t

Kun : Hyung going to tell him?

Manager hyung : Up to you

Manager hyung : Sure I am the manager

Manager hyung : But you’re the leader of the group

Kun :  Let’s just hope he doesn’t read it before coming back to the dorm

Manager hyung : He’s been a little uninterested with his phone
