I watched Eunsoo's troubled face as he talked with his manager. I realised that I had to make a move and Eunsoo might hate me for it, but I won't let him ruin his life.
I walked out into the crowd and saw Hongjoong standing a few centimetres away. I immediately ran towards him and wrapped my arms around him. He looked at me with puzzled eyes as I leaned in closer.
" What are you doing? ". He asked whole staring at me with wide eyes.
" Hold on....please stay still. Just for a minute ". I said and leaned in closer.
I angled my head so that we appeared to be kissing.
LEE HONGJOONG
I stood still, startled and confused. My eyes wandered, scanning the small crowd. My eyes fell on the small bright haired boy before me. I quickly pushed Taemin away from me as I watched Bada turn around and leave.
" You shouldn't have done that ". I said as I looked down at Taemin and hurriedly went after Bada.
I ran up the stairs and grabbed his hand. He had his back to me so I couldn't tell what expression he had.
" Don't misunderstand. We didn't kiss "
He pulled his arm out of my grasp and turned to face me. His face was expressionless as he looked at me.
" So? ". He said
" Huh? I...I thought you misunderstood ". I said, searching his face.
" Why would you explain to me? Why should I care if you kissed or not? We're not exactly in any relationship or even friends, so why do you care if I misunderstand? I don't care what you do ". He said and turned to leave.
" If you don't care, why are you getting angry? ". I said and moved closer to him.
I was so close that I cast a big shadow over him and his shampoo filled my nose.
" Huh! Why would I be angry? We barely even know each other ". He said, looking to at me defiantly.
I lowered my head to his face level and held his gaze for a while before burying my nose in the exposed flesh of his neck. I held his slender fingers in mine and took a deep breath.
" I know you feel it too ". I said and placed his hand over my chest.
" Don't cause a scene ". He said and withdrew his hand.
He turned away and walked into his room without a word.

I clenched my fists and turned around to face Eunsoo. My breath caught in my throat when I saw his face. Time stood still and everyone seemed to fade into the background as I held his gaze. He slowly turned around and walked away and I desperately fought the urge to run to him. The cold breeze hit my face as I stood there.
....
I wandered around aimlessly on the beach as the crashing waves played loudly in my ears. I tried Hongjoong's line again and again but he didn't answer. I decided not to go back to the room, to give Hongjoong some space. The moon that night was dull and there were no stars, making me feel even more alone. My phone suddenly rang and I quickly pulled it out.
" Hey you're done with your shoot right? When are you coming back? Taeri misses you like crazy ". Minho said from the other end.
" We'll wrap things up tomorrow and head back the next day ". I said quietly. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't Hongjoong.
" Why do you sound like that? Are you not well? ". He asked.
" It's nothing. I'm fine "
I looked up and a few feet from me, I saw the silhouette of a person. I thought it was Hongjoong, so I waved but they just stood still, as if watching me.
" Are you sure? Are you with Hongjoong? "
The person was still there, not moving and that dark, still silhouette sent chills down my spine and my fingers began to tremble. My phone fell to the floor as my hands trembled.
" Hey! Hey why aren't you answering? Are you okay? "
" I'm okay. The signal got cut for a while ". I said after picking up my phone.
I shivered as I looked back up and the figure was no where to be seen. I turned around immediately and began hurriedly making my way back to the hotel.
" Ya Minho....I'll hang up now "
I increased my pace and soon I was running. I ran as first as I could towards the hotel. I hurried past the receptionist and only when I reached the elevator did I slow down and catch my breath. My heart thumped loudly as I leaned against the wall, waiting for the elevator.
" Aaaahhh ". I screamed as a hand grabbed my shoulder.
" Where have you been? There's a big problem ". Hongjoong said will a worried expression.
" We've been looking everywhere for you ". Suah said.
.....
KYUNG EUNSOO
My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I stood by the window. It was getting hard to breathe, so I unzipped my hoodie. My fingers trembled as I struggled to light the cigarette.
" Ya! You can't smoke in here ". Bada said and yanked the cigarette from me.
" How dare they compare me to that monster. I'm nothing like him. Right? ". I said while pacing around the room.
" Eunsoo....calm down "
" I'm nothing like that bastard! ". I yelled and hurled one of the chairs at the huge glass window.

I stopped in my tracks at the loud crashing sound that came from Eunsoo's room. I looked over at Hongjoong and back at the phone in my hand.
* So one of the hottest actors this year is actually an ex convict. It's non other than K.E from the hit drama ' Goodbye My Tomorrow ' and ' My Wish List '. He is nothing but a cold hearted murderer who likes to play the victim and pretend like he's different from the people that killed his family *
* I never liked him to begin with. Get my baby, Bada away from that freak *
* The murderer can go ahead and kill himself too haha *
* I'm not justifying his actions but I don't understand why you all are acting like you wouldn't do the same in his situation *
* His family is better off dead. Who knows what they were capable of doing*
* #protectBada *
* Doesn't that L.T guy look familiar ?*
* That L.T guy must be loose in the head if he continued dating that K.E guy *
* His company had to have known about his past. So why did they let him work with Bada? *
* The L.T guy's family is the worst. Killer father, uncle and freak son *
* He did it in self defence and he already did the time. Let the man breathe. If you've seen the full story, you'll know he went through a lot of horrible things and that there was no way he would have been mentally stable. #Free K.E *
* Let's find L.T and see if he and K.E are still together haha *
* Now, even murderers are living better lives than us. Haha how pathetic *
* L.T's dad got what he deserved *
* The other boy, L.T kinda looks familiar. I feel like I saw him recently *
* K.E is a total psycho *
* #Kickthemurderout. Guys let's trend the hashtag *
The comments went on and on and got meaner and meaner.
" Are you okay?". Hongjoong asked as he held my shoulders firmly.
" Don't listen to any of those people okay? They're all crazy ". Suah said as she paced around.
" What the fuck do they think they know huh? Who the fuck do they think they are to judge us? Those twisted bastard ". I said.
He pulled me closer to him and patted my back gently as I laid my head on his chest.
" Ahem! "
I pulled away from Hongjoong and turned towards the voice. Bada stood there, with his gaze fixed on the ground.
" I think you should go see Eunsoo. I can't calm him down "
I looked over to Hongjoong and then back to Bada and realized what a big mistake I made today. I walked closer to him and lowered my mouth to his ear.
" I'm sorry for making you misunderstand earlier today and it really was nothing. We don't have that kind of relationship ". I said and walked away.
I hesitated before stepping into the room. I'm probably the last person who wants to see right now. The were pieces of broken glass on the floor and Eunsoo stood by the shattered window, phone in hand and muttering over and over again, ' I'm not like him, I'm different from that bastard'.
I walked over to him slowly and took the phone from him. I looked down at his bloodied bare feet and back up at him.
.....
" Does it hurt? ". I asked as I pulled out small shards of glass from his feet.
" Are you okay? Mum hasn't seen it yet right? ". He asked as he lifted my face up his, with his big warm hand.
His eyes were glistening in the low light of the room and I subconsciously placed my hand over his.
" I'm okay ". I said.
He almost immediately pulled his hand away and looked down.
" It's fine I'll finish it up ". He said and took the bandage from me.
LEE HONGJOONG
Bada, Suah and I sat quietly in my room after talking with Bada's manager. Suah nudged me lightly as she motioned towards Bada.
" Uhm.....I need to make a quick call. I'll be right back ". Suah said loudly, before stepping out of the room.
I looked over at Bada who sat on one of the armchairs, with his knees pulled closely to his chest. I walked over to him and placed a small blanket over his shoulders.
" Are you alright? ". I asked while taking my seat beside him.
" This is such a huge mess ". He said and placed his head on my arm.
I lowered myself into the chair and placed his head gently on my shoulders. His long eyelashes splayed beautifully on his face as he closed his eyes. After a while, he fell asleep and I gently carried him to the bed. I stood there, watching him sleep peacefully until the ringing of my phone jerked me to reality. I quickly headed over to the balcony and took the call.
" Hey mum "
" Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did something happen? What about Eunsoo and the others? "
" Mum slow down. What's wrong? "
" He's alive"
