It was almost a week later that BTOB was practicing intensely for their debut showcase. You sighed nervously, gripping the basket of food you were carrying tightly. “Thanks Mr Kim”, you whispered politely before getting off the car. The intimidating height of Cube’s entertainment building greeted you as you felt familiar chills go up your spine. It’s still as scary as the last time I was here. At least previously, Min Hyuk oppa was with me. Now I have to go in alone… You gulped. With a deep breath, you wrapped your cardigan tightly around your petite figure and walked into the lobby. “Oh! Mi Young ah~ Why haven’t you visited in so long”, Mr Lim, the security guard ajushi greeted you welcomingly. You relaxed into a smile, glad that he could remember you. “Your brother’s in training room number 6, on the 4^th floor”, he said after a few rapid clicks on the company’s security system. Involuntarily, you cringed at the word “brother”. Thanking him, you walked into the elevator and pressed the button to the 4^th floor. Breathe breathe Mi Young ah~ everything will be okay. You won’t have to meet anyone, just go straight to the 4^th floor and find oppas. Suddenly, the lift ringed sharply, pulling you out of your thoughts. Your eyes widened in shock as an unexpected figure entered the lift. Forcing yourself to breathe normally, you bowed timidly. Gikwang returned your manners with a gentle bow as he smiled at you curiously. “May I ask, who are you looking for?” He smiled helpfully. OMO Is he talking to me? You felt your cheeks redden in a blush. You weren’t exactly a fan of kpop, but that didn’t mean that you were unaware of the existence of bands like Beast. “U-urm, I’m looking for my oppa, Min Hyuk-shi?” You stuttered, raising the intonation of your sentence such that it sounded more like a question. You mentally slapped yourself for sounding so unsure. He probably thinks I’m some delusional fangirl now. “Oh, you’re Min Hyukkie’s sister?” Gikwang asked sweetly, giving you one of his signature eye smiles. Stunned, you nodded meekly. Just then, another ring signaled that the lift had reached the fourth floor. “I’d be going, Gikwang-shi”, you mumbled with a bow, before exiting the lift in a hurry. “Oh wait!” He exclaimed, making you stop in your tracks. “BTOB’s training room is third one from the end of the right corridor”, He added with a smile, his eyes twinkling brightly. You felt your own lips curl up in a smile as you bowed thankfully to him.

There it is! Room number four! You swiftly pushed the door open, and sneaked into a corner at the back of the room. The boys were busy practicing for their debut songs, Insane and Imagine. As you watched them perform “Insane”, you couldn’t help but beam at their talent. Their singing and dancing abilities never failed to leave you in awe. Once the music ended, the boys let their professional personas drop. “Aigooo so tired”, Chang Sub whined as he pounced on Eun Kwang. “OH! Mi Young noona?” Ilhoon exclaimed as he caught sight of you in the mirror. You smiled sheepishly, waving at the boys. “Why didn’t you tell us you were coming?” Hyun Sik asked. “I wanted to give oppas a surprise!” You said with a smile. “Thanks noona”, Sung Jae quirped, pulling you close to him and ruffling your hair. Min Hyuk immediately tensed up, his eyes darting away. The boys pulled out the many lunchboxes excitedly, eager for some food. “Min Hyuk hyung, you’re not eating?” Peniel asked. The older boy was halfway across the room when he replied. “ah, I’m not hungry”. How can oppa not be hungry! What if he faints later on… You stared at his disappearing figure worriedly. Somehow, you noticed that the dynamics of BTOB had changed. There was obvious tension between Sung Jae and Min Hyuk, which affected the rest of the members greatly. They were less talkative, less candid, and well less happy. You picked up the last lunchbox from the basket. I’ve got to get this to Min Hyuk oppa. “Oppas, I’ll be right back”, you said with a forced smile before running out of the room. You were about to take off when you were stopped by an unexpected voice. “Mi Young-shi, can I talk to you for a second?” A man who was dressed casually approached you. “Oh, Ji Yong-shi?” You bowed politely at BTOB’s manager, before nodding a response. You had seen Ji Yong around a few times whilst he was shuffling the boys to and fro. He was a really good manager, one that was strict but yet motivational at the same time. You could tell that the boys meant more to him than just “A part of his job”. The both of you walked towards a seating area on the 4^th floor. “Is something wrong?” You asked him worriedly, noticing his downcast expression. “I should be the one asking you that question. Did something happen between the boys? I really hate asking you for answers on behalf of them, but they refused to tell me anything”, Ji Yong replied worriedly. “The boys are going to have their first debut stage next week and they’re really working hard. So far, their problems haven’t been deterring their performing standards, but I’m really worried. We really need the boys to be united now, before the greater stresses of being a singer come their way.” Ji Yong continued. Playing with your fingers, a frown had creased on your forehead. You could already tell that things had changed between the BTOB members, and it was your entire fault. An immense sense of guilt overwhelmed you. “I’m especially worried about Min Hyuk. The rumours of him are finally started to clear up, but he’s been so out of it these few weeks. He hasn’t been eating or resting adequately, and it’s starting to take a toll on his health”, Ji Yong added with a soft sigh. At that last statement, you couldn’t help but feel apologetic. I’m so sorry oppas. This is all my fault… All this wouldn’t have happened if I had never entered the Lee family in the first place. You wouldn’t have met me, and all of you would have been much happier. BTOB would have been stronger too. I see now that my initial plan didn’t work. I guess… that only leaves one option now… I have to leave…You managed to convince Ji Yong that you were clueless as well; somehow you just couldn’t bring yourself to tell him that you were the root of BTOB’s problems.
“Ji Yong-shi, do you know where Min Hyuk went? I have to get him his lunch”, you said, holding up the lunchbox. “I saw him taking off for the rooftop garden. He said something about getting some fresh air. Thanks Mi Young, if anyone could convince him to eat, it’s you”, Ji Yong said with a small smile as you ran for the garden. Slowly, you pushed a door open and winced as bright raysof sunlight greeted you. “Min Hyuk oppa?” You whispered subconsciously as you stepped out among the greens. You spotted a figure leaning against the banister, plugged in to earphones. Watching from behind, you noticed that Min Hyuk had indeed grown thinner; his frame was now hanging rather haggardly. Seeing him like this was already breaking your heart. Oppa, would you have been happier if we never met? Pulling out a small piece of receipt from your pocket, you scribbled something onto it’s plain white backing. With a rubber band, you secured it to the lunchbox. Slowly, you crept up behind up and sneakily placed the lunch box on the ground behind him. Oppa, you have to take care of yourself when I’m gone… You need to first take care of yourself before you can be a good hyung to the other BTOB oppas… You imagined reaching out to hug him, and a small smile crept up your lips. “Bye oppa”, you mouthed quietly, feeling your eyes well up.

Min Hyuk spun around curiously, pulling his ear phones out of his ears. He could have sworn he heard someone call his name. “Aish, I must really be going insane”, he said with a sigh, ruffling his hair distractedly. Taking a step back, he felt his left heel graze something on the ground. “Oh, what’s this?” He muttered under his breath, reaching down to pick up the lunchbox. “Min Hyuk oppa, Please eat this and be healthy! Oppa can’t give his best if you don’t look after yourself! Understand? ^^ From your number one fan” A unstoppable smile crept up Min Hyuk’s face as he slowly opened the lunchbox, placing a piece of Kimbap in his mouth.
