| Sehun’s POV |

 

 

 

*  SM Entertainment Building. ^^

 

 

By the lunch break, I fixed myself and was ready to go to the mall to buy another phone.

I didn't know when I had lost my old one.

On the way out of the Practice Room, I heard a hyung talking.

“I wonder what happened that night when we lighted up a bonfire near the shore…” Xiumin Hyung said.

“Yeah~ I don’t know. I can’t remember.” Luhan Hyung said.

Me too.

I just found myself on my bed the next morning.

Whenever i drink, I always intend to forget something.

“Hey, Let’s go to U-Nite’s Practice Room. I haven’t seen Shinah this morning.” Kris Hyung said and they all agreed.

 

 

I joined them and went to the U-Nite’s Practice Room but there was no sign of Shinah.

“Where could she possibly be?’ Lay Hyung wondered.

“Hyung, hyung! Look at this! Look at this!” Kai exclaimed.

“What’s that? Why do you have to repeat every sentence?” Suho Hyung asked.

“There’s an article here on Allkpop regarding Shinah.” Kai replied.

“Read it.” D.O-hyung ordered.

“U-Nite’s Shinah’s withdrawal from her group shocked many fans.” He read.

“WITHDRAWAL?! SHE LEFT?!” Kris Hyung exclaimed.

We were all shocked by his action.

“Maybe that’s why she told me to take care of everyone. She even gave me this necklace.” He said and held the crucifix necklace on his neck.

“Me too... She gave me a keychain. She told me that it was a gift.” Chanyeol Hyung said.

“She gave me this keychain.” Lay Hyung showed us the keychain. “She told me that it’s just an early remembrance but I just shrugged it off.”

“That’s so adorable.” Baekhyun Hyung pointed.

 

 

We all went to Sooman-Sajangnim’s office to ask if it was true.

He confirmed that Shinah resigned yesterday in the afternoon.

“Her phone is unattended.” Chanyeol informed us.

“What has gotten to her?! I bet she even changed her phone number! What is she doing?” Lay-Hyung said with tear forming in his eyes.

“We have our one last hope.” I said and they all tuned to me.

“Let’s go to her condo.”

 

 

We drove off until we reached her complex.

Worry was seen on everyone’s faces.

I held the doorknob and twisted it.

It’s unlocked.

We went inside and found nothing.

No furniture, appliances and even kitchen wares.

“Guys, look over here.” Kris hyung said.

We all headed to the pink room and found a box on the floor.

Lay Hyung picked up the box and opened it.

We found 4 CDs and a hand phone.

The 4 CDs had labels, “Chanyeol”, “Kris”, “Yi Xing” and “Everyone”

They took the CDs addressed to them and I grabbed the hand phone.

This is mine…

And it now goes with a cake keychain.

 

Cake…

Honey cake.. Sweet cake..

Thank you so much, Shinah.

But how come I don’t have a CD too?

I guess I’m not that special to you..

But I’m fine.

Seeing this keychain makes me think that you even thought of me for a while.

Even if it was just for once..

 

 

We all went back to the dorm with a very deafening silence.

I guess, everyone was emotionally tired.

I was still thinking about Shinah.

Why did she resign?

Is there something wrong?

How was you doing?

Had she eaten her lunch?

Where culd she be now?

It has been just 1 day.

But I miss you so bad.

How can I be able to live the following days without you?

 

 

Before I knew it, the hyungs already played the CD which had the “Everyone” label on it.

It’s was a video of Shinah, sitting on the couch and looking at the camera.

Shinah….

“Annyeong, Oppas and Unnies~ ^^ I want to thank you all for being so nice to me. All of you have been a big part of my life. I quit my job because I think it’s not for me. Entertaining people wasn’t what I really wanted. I’m sorry~ don’t try and look for me. Don’t worry. I’ll be okay. ^^”

 

“Chen Oppa, continue to shine with your amazing vocal. ^^”

 

“Xiumin Oppa, take care of Jessy Unnie, okay? I know you like her. ^^”

 

“Luhan Oppa, even though we don’t talk that much, take care of yourself, okay? And also to your dongsaengs. ^^”

 

“Tao Oppa, don’t isolate yourself so much, nae? You’re unique in your own way. ^^”

 

“Suho Oppa, continue to guide EXO. Hwaiting! ^^”

 

“D.O Oppa, don’t burden yourself too much with the chores, okay? Let the maknaes do it. But don’t let them cook, okay? ^^”

 

“Baekhyun Oppa, Take care of yourself and don’t ever change, okay? ^^”

 

“Kai Oppa, stop playing online games every midnight, okay?”

 

“Guys..  Thank you so much.. SARANGHAE. ♥”

 

She didn’t even leave me a message.

Not even a single word.

None.

I guess she really hated me.

 

 

After that video message, I went to put on my disguise and wandered around the streets.

Hoping to see Shinah somewhere.

But she was nowhere to be found.

My heart was aching again.

Why are you doing this to me, Shinah?

 

 

| Kris’ POV |

 

 

Where are you now, Shinah?

You’re the reason why I am smiling so bright these past few days.

But I guess, I have no more reason to.

I opened my portable CD player and played the CD.

 

“Hello, Kris. ^^ *3-second awkward silence* Hahaha. :D It's really awkward calling you with that name. But I finally did it. Yey~ Kris, I’m sorry for everything. As what I’ve told you yesterday, take care of them and Xiumin-Oppa, okay? ^^ I wish I still had some time to spend with you. Don’t stop smiling. ^^ I don’t know if I should say this but… You know that I loved you, right? And Kris.. Can you do me one last favor? Please take care of Ashley for me.. Okay.. babye~ *Kiss*”

 

 

| Lay’s POV |

 

 

Shinah..

Whatever your decision is.. I’ll respect it.

Just don’t forget to eat 3 regular meals every day.

Take care of yourself.

I played the CD, “ Yi Xing-Oppa. Annyeong~ If you’re worried about me.. Don’t be. Because I assure you that I am fine and doing well. Thank you for everything, Oppa. ^^ Stop eating Junk Food, arasso? ^^ Babye~ Saranghanda~ :*”
