~ Song of the Chapter ~

• Favorite Crime - Olivia Rodrigo

Sana's POV

Days passed articles about my whereabouts trended and I of course got scolded. I was more willing for it just so I could see her again. The articles connected to my dating news. It just strengthened the claims. They were talking about how supportive of a girlfriend I were and some were of course bashing me.

I didn't really then care about the hurtful words thrown at me. I may hear more painful words anyways and so I was preparing myself.

After a couple of days, D-day of the concert arrived and I got mixed feelings. I was worried of her reaction. Will she be glad or will she be angry? I wore everything that could hide my identity, from the hoodie, cap, face mask, and more. It was pretty hot, good thing the weather was becoming cold. I stand in front of the gate of the venue and I felt a lot of stares. I'll not be surprised if it's because of what I am wearing.

I have decided to let the concert finish before going backstage because they are probably busy preparing.

"Let's just enjoy the show then" I said but then felt a tap on the shoulder

"Hi Sana-ssi!" Mina said

"Oh, Mina-ssi how did you know it was me?" I asked in surprise

"Uhm just a lucky guess" she shrugged and wrapped her arms around mine

"Who are you with?" She asked me

"No one, I came here secretly" I told her and she nodded

"But I heard your band members would be coming though?" She said that surprised me

"Actually I'm with Chaeyoungie but then we heard that Dahyun and Momo would also come then they said they heard Jeongyeon and Nayeon coming too while Jihyo's gonna the third wheel" she explained and by just hearing it already gave me a headache

"Speaking of them, they're here!" She shouted and waved her hand as I turned my head their mischievous smiles welcomed me.

I turned my back at them while trying to assess the situation. I showed them my forced smile and they replied with an eyebrow raise.

I immediately went to Momo's side to ask.

"What are you all doing here!" I loudly whispered at Momo

"Obviously, we will be watching Got7 sunbaenim's concert what else" she said and rolled her eyes at me

"I know that's not the only reason" I glared at her but she didn't even care at all

"Why? Are you the only one allowed to watch their concert Sana-ssi?" She answered back and I knew she don't have any plan to tell me

"Ugh fine where are you all seated" I said with a defeated tone

"Right next to your seat" she said with a smile and all I could do was slap my face in disbelief

"Watching the concert huh" I said in a sarcastic tone and Momo just giggled

We sat all together at the venue waiting for the concert to start. I was already trying to find her but I could find no sign of her

My mood was down because of it. I expected to at least get a glance of her but I got nothing at all

As we jammed to the songs the camera would pan to us and once another commentary time was up after Mark's comment the camera panned and focused on me

I got all embarrassed and hid my face. The whole venue was cheering on us but I could also hear curses from others.

Mark is a good friend of mine and I'm thankful that he tried to change the topic and remove them from filming me

I stood up and excused myself to the restroom. I was roaming around while looking for the restroom when I bumped into someone tall. I was surprised and was overjoyed when I realized who it was.

"Tzuyu!" I said and was about to hug her but she stopped me

"What are you doing here? This is the backstage which is available for the staff only" Tzuyu sternly said

"I was looking for the restroom" I said as I hung my head low. She calmly showed me the way

"Go now. You are not allowed in here" she said and was about to go when I held her arms to stop her

"What did I do wrong? Why are you avoiding me?" I said stopping myself from breaking down

"You did nothing wrong Sana, but let's not make it hard for both of us. Let go..." I can't believe how she said those hurtful words in a soft tone. I can't even get angry.

"Let's talk" I begged her but then the performance of Got7 just finished and got her all panicked

"Let's talk after the concert" she hurriedly told me and removed my hands from her and ran away

I came back to my seat dejected. Something is wrong and I felt bad vibes about what is about to happen.

I patiently waited for the concert to end and immediately went the backstage and she was already waiting for me

"I'm sorry Sana-ssi but it is better if we don't contact each other again" she immediately said as soon as I arrived in front of her

"Why?... why must we?" I asked her while punching her chest in frustration

She just let me punch her which got me more irritated

"Why are you not saying anything!" I threw my fist on her chest as the tears starts falling

"Let's be professional. We are no more than workmates. I'm your stylist and that's it." She said coldly as she stopped my fist from punching her chest

"Do you like me? Did you ever like me? Do you even care about me?" I asked her over and over again but I heard nothing but silence

"Will you feel better if you punch me? If it will then do it and so we could already get over this" She asked me coldly

I slapped her in the face
