(Changmin's P.O.V)

" Just drop me off here, " said Dara loftily as we approached a spa.

She didn't even look at me as she stepped out of the car, but once she was outside she smiled at me and said, " Bye jagiya! "

She waved goodbye as she joined her friends. The whole act was making me sick. We had no affection left for each other. She blamed me for breaking her heart and I blamed her for making me break C.L's.

" Bye, " I began but she'd already turned around and was walking away with her entourage in tow.

I sighed as I drove away.

My life to the public was at its peak, I guess. Son of a rich hotelier, now in the entertainment industry and doing really well. Married to one of the richest girls around who also happens to be entering the music industry with a sure chance of becoming a hit.

But, it didn't make sense and maybe it wasn't supposed to.

I'd heard of arranged marriages that worked. You know, stuff like, affection grows. Can be built. Maybe that was the path Dara and I were fated for.

Perhaps there was no future in Cl and I. Maybe.. Just maybe. Who knew? C.L. had always believed in stuff like Karma, Destiny and Fate. Everytime she was unsure of big decisions she'd smile this wistful almost child-like smile and say, "If the red threads of destiny wish it..."

It had been a year. And there wasn't a day I'd gotten by without thinking of what I'd done to her. But now, was it love or only guilt?

Confused? Very much so.

(C.L's P.O.V)

Yunho was quite talkative during the rest of the ride. I listened to his mindless chatter but I didn't really hear what he was saying.

I heard bits. Something about his music. How much dance meant to him. But he finally caught my attention when he said, "Changmin- "

" What? " I practically yelled.

" Changmin and I are working on some new music- "

" You know Changmin? " I asked in shock.

" Well, yeah. We only grew up together, " said Yunho with a chuckle.

" He's a.. " I began. " Friend? "

" Well, yeah, " said Yunho clearly beginning to find my reaction weird. " Why? Do you know him? "

" Yeah... " I said softly sinking deeper into my seat.

" Funny, he never mentioned you. We were talking about you once but he never said he 'knew' you, " said Yunho scratching his neck awkwardly.

I smiled a little. A smile meant to hide the tears that were threatening to spill once again.

" Why were you guys talking about me? " I continued softly. Not daring to look Yunho in his soulfully honest eyes.

" Dara, said you were joining YG Entertainment and asked our opinion so were reviewing some of your work together. I did notice Changmin was a little weird, somewhat uptight when we were reviewing. He almost seemed reluctant to give you an 'OK', " said Yunho.

I smiled again. That same smile I used to cover up my tears.

Except this time, the tears spilled out...
