Even though Daehun was playing beautifully I couldn't help but to stare at Sehun. His brown eyes were focused on his little brother. I placed my attention back on Daehun as the melody began to soften. He was doing really well. I catch Sehun chuckle under his breath.

"I'm fine." He murmurs 

I place a loose strand of hair behind my ear feeling embarrassed for getting caught looking at him. I nod. "I'm sorry." 

I feel his hand grab mine and he locks his fingers with me. My eyes stare at our hands, never looking away. I'm really going to miss this. 

"Well done mister Daehun." The piano teacher smiles at him "You are improving stupendously."

"Did you hear that Sehun?" He turns over to us "Are you proud of me?"

Sehun chuckles and nods "I am."

"That does it for today." She smiles at Daehun "I'll meet you here again in two days."

The music teacher excuses herself and Daehun runs up to Sehun.

"Okay, I'm ready." He smiles at me.

Sehun asks, "Ready for what?"

"Dance practice." Daehun grins happily 

I grin back "I said after you're done with homework."

Sehun is the one to respond back "Still going based on time and plans?" He teases

"Only for a few minutes and I promise I'll do my homework right after." Daehun pleads 

Sehun cuts in before I can say anything back. "Remember D, I told you Hayoung is really boring."

It felt like that day he called me out when Daehun kept bugging us when we were doing our homework in his study when I was in charge of him. I smile and feel myself being challenged.

"You know what," I stand up "Fine, let's get started."

Once I realized what I was doing in the theater, I began to instantly regret coming here. I my lips as I hovered over my knees that bounced impatiently. I contemplated if I should stay here and as I did, maybe it was best that I left. 

I didn't think about it any longer, I stood up and made my way towards the exit. But, my feet stop me from taking another step when I hear the female voice through the speakers.

“Miss Cheon Hayoung” The scouter says through the mic. "Welcome back.”

I was on the far top where I can overlook the stage. Hayoung looked scared less but at the same time she looked perfect to me.

She bows “Thank you for taking the time to look through my application.”

No one says anything and I tried to get a closer look but not to close where she can possibly see me. I knew how much this day meant to her and I knew how hard she tried to improve. 

“Whenever you’re ready Miss Cheon”

The music starts and I realize she kept the same song, the song she changed when I helped her. As she danced I knew she was thinking of something but it wasn't her steps. She was taking control on that stage. She was being Hayoung.

It made me miss her even more. I shook my head and broke away my thoughts. I can't continue doing this, I need to stop. But, why is it so hard? I force myself to look away and leave the theater.

"Did you guys hear?" Tao comes up to us as we stood next to Kai's locker. "Kris is leaving...he's going back to Canada." He stares at all of us but mainly at me.

"Good." Kai sneers "No one wants him here."

"He's still our friend..." Tao tries to defend him

"Yeah, but he made Sehun do stupid ." Kai interrupts "He hurt your girlfriends' feelings and he made us look like dirty . We're tired of some of the rumors about us that aren't true, he didn't help that out." He slams his locker and walks away.

I knew it was my fault as well for doing what I did but no one seemed to be upset with me? Kris does have a cold attitude sometimes but he was still our friend...he was my friend. I felt bad that I wasn't defending him but this was a good distraction for everyone to have. It makes them focus on Kris more than notice anything wrong with me and that's what I want. 

"He also made us look stupid Tao." Chanyeol places his hand on Tao's shoulder "We all know that's a different side of Kris we've never seen before."

Chanyeol looks at Tao sympathetically and pats my back as he walked in the same direction Kai went. 

Tao sighs "He's right." He pauses changing the subject after. "Want to grab bubble tea?"

I shake my head "I can't. I'll see you later." 

It was easy to walk away without being bombed with questions, I've gotten them used to it since I've been doing it for the past year. As I headed out of the school, I decided to look for Kris. The bell had rung only two minutes ago and knowing him, he didn't leave that fast. He's either busy talking to a girl or in trouble. But, lately I wasn't so sure what he's been up to so I just hoped I'd see him. He wasn't in the parking lot and I wasn't going to walk around until I found his car. I couldn't send him text messages because he would only ignore me. 

I owed him an apology, he didn't deserve all the hatred, especially from all of us who've been friends with him since we were all young. I couldn't tell him the truth but I needed to do something to make it up to him. So, I was left with no choice but wait for him at his mansion.

I leaned against my car door as I waited out in front of Kris' home. I was offered to wait inside but I was hesitant because I didn't want him to notice my car and have him leave. So, waiting outside was the only way to get him to talk to me. After a long wait, the gate finally opens up and Kris' car goes around the huge fountain. 

I stand straight as he gets out.

"What do you want?" His car gets locked as he walked towards me.

I my lips "Why are you leaving to Canada?"

He shrugs his shoulders "Why not? No one will ing care anyway."

"If you just apologize, the guys will get over it. Tao really wants to get back with––"

"Apologize for what?" He replies back rudely "I didn't ing do anything, it was you."

"I said to keep that between us. You were the one to tell Sanghoon and then talk bad about Hayoung. You made it everyone's business."

He chuckles "This is bull." He starts to walk away from me. "I don't have time for this ."

"So you're going to leave and make yourself look worse?"

He turns to face me "You know what? Don't talk to me about that ."

"Kris, you made up rumors and––"

He cuts me off "That's not the ing point dude. Do you really think if I ing apologize people are going to forgive me? I'm not you, I can't get away with that easily."

"If you leave it's not going to help your situation..."

Again, he talks over me. "If you came to my ing house to tell me how to handle this , you can leave. I'm not going to apologize for telling the truth, unlike you. So if you're not going to man up to your , off and you." He pauses "Don't talk to me anymore...you're dead to me."

He walks inside his home and leaves me alone. He was right, he's not the one being a ing ...I was. A part of me wanted to make things right, I didn't like him being mad at me and I planned to fix things by taking the blame. The other part told me to let it be. If Kris leaves, it would be one less person to have to worry about hurting. 

For the past days, Daehun was trying so hard to grasp each move I taught him. It was really cute actually and I couldn't help but to chuckle. Not because I was making fun of him but because I thought he looked adorable trying his best.

"Don't worry" I smile "You'll get it, let's try another step."

His big grin was no longer on his face, it was replaced with a frown.

"Daehun," we both turn to face Sehun who was sitting in light living chair they set up for him in the studio so he can watch us. "Come here." 

Daehun's face stayed glued to the ground as he walked and I embraced myself as I watched the cute little boy walking away from me. Sehun struggles to sit up and place his arm around Daehun.

"Don't beat yourself just because you can't do it."

He murmurs "But I want to be good like you."

Sehun his lips and looks over at me for a brief second before putting his attention back to the little boy who was clearly upset.

"Remember how you couldn't play the piano well before?" Daehun nods "Well, this is just like that. Take it easy, don't force yourself to get it right. Have fun."

I smile in awe as I witnessed the boy I love give advice and it brought sweet memories. The times when he gave me advice and taught me how to let loose.

Sehun continues "I promise, you're going to be ing badass." They both chuckle "Better than me."

Daehun's smile was planted back on his face. "I don't want to be better than you...I want to be just like you."

My heart couldn't handle the sight of two loving brothers that held onto each other. I was torn, I felt sadden but content how much Daehun admired Sehun.

Sehun nods "Then, you're going to need this." He removes his black cap that he always wore backwards and made Daehun wear it the same way. "It's yours now. Take good care of it."

Daehun was happy and admiring the black cap that was on him. While I stood in place, I was a bit bothered because to me it felt like it was Sehun's way of leaving something behind for Daehun. Not being able to handle the sight, I looked away.
