"Sujeong!" Hanbin exclaimed, running to her side the moment he saw her fall to her knees.  Her breathing was uneven and tears fell from her eyes. She clutched Hanbin's shirt tightly and tried to reach for her inhaler but her boyfriend beat her to it. Placing it to , she felt Hanbin's hands soothing her back as she tried to breathe normally. 

Hanbin looked at her worriedly. She's been through so much, he thinks, his palms turn sweaty and it caused a sharp pang to him to think that he would be leaving this girl. 

You can't afford distractions, Hanbin. YG told him when the issue arose. He loved Sujeong with everything he has but it was true, Sujeong is by far the biggest distraction. He had to be rational if he wants iKON to be the best they can be but with her around, he can't function well.

Not that its a bad thing. There are times where he was so thankful that she's a distraction. He's distracted when he meets her bright, hopeful eyes, when her pink lips touches his, when her small hands find their way to his. But then again, not every moment is good like the time when he had to miss a concert because Sujeong was in the hospital. Or the day that he had to miss practices because heer asthma attacked and no one was with her. 

Sujeong was a double edged knife and Hanbin hated that he loved her.

"I'm sorry."  A light voice muttered beside him. Hanbin snapped out of his trance and saw Sujeong's tear filled eyes. She reached out to touch his hand and he wiped her tears away. "I'm so sorry."

Hanbin pulled her closer to his chest and placed his chin on top of her head. "Don't be. I need you to be strong. What would happen to you when I'm gone?"

"When you're gone?" Sujeong sniffled, pulling away from his hug.  "Are you leaving?"

That moment, Hanbin felt possesed. He regretted the words that came out of his mouth when he said; "Yes."
