I barged in. Feeling my eyes burning as I fought the tears. "Oh sorry, I thought Tae would be here." I said and she looked away clearly embarrassed.

"Lee.." He tried to speak but for once, I interrupted him.

"Go back to doing your thing. Sorry to interrupt." I sniffed and wiped the tear that escaped to my cheek.

"Lee, I'm sorry. Please don't tell PDnim about us." Sana pleaded and I nodded

"There is no-.."

"Mark." I looked up into his eyes and by the look on his face, he knew he fucked up. "Don't worry about it. I won't say a thing." I faked a smile and walked out.

"Where were we?" I heard her saying as the door closed shut behind me.

I grabbed my things and went to the back door, only to find Jay and Leehi standing together. "Perfect." I said and walked out towards my car.

"Lee, wait!" I heard Jay yelling and running after me. I only sped up my pace. "Would you slow the fuck down!" I turned to look at him, eyes bloodshot and nose runny and red as well. He stopped looking shocked. "What happened? What's wrong?" He stepped closer to hug me and I needed that so bad but as he stepped forward Leehi appeared exactly where he left her. I shoved him away.

"Why don't you go back to your real girlfriend? This toy right here is going back to where she truly belongs." I said and as I took a glimpse at the door, Leehi was gone. I huffed and tried to walk back to my car. He held onto my elbow swinging me harshly to turn and face him. "Fuck Jaebum!!" I yelled. "Let go of me!!"

"No. I will not let you go. You promised you won't walk away. And I have already told you, you're not a toy. Now tell me what's wrong?" He said through gritted teeth. I tried to pull my arm out of his grip as I saw Leehi standing by the back door with Jinyoung and Jackson as Yugyeom, Youngjae and Bambam running to them.

"What??!!! Enjoying the show?!!!" I yelled at them too, after which Jinyoung whispered something to the poor girl and she nodded walking back to the venue. Jackson came walking towards us as Jay was still holding a strong grip on my hand. I'm sure it'll be blue by tomorrow. "I swear to god if you don't let go of me-.."

"What? You'll run to your precious Kookie? Or your new fling, Sehun? Oh or will you run back to Namjoon?" Jaebum retorted and I just glared at him.

At this moment, I'm the one to blame?

"You're not serious! I only agreed to dance with Jungkook cause you were already being lead by HER!" I yelled back. At that moment I saw Mark walking out with Taehyung. "And I am NOT the one who was kissing someone else in the backroom." I yelled looking at Jaebum who clearly was taken aback along with everyone in that dark parking lot.

"Come, Lee. You'll spend the night at our place." Taehyung said as he approached us, swapping Jay's hand away.

"Wait, let me take her to my place. It's not too far from here and she can stay there alone if she doesn't want me there." Jackson said to Tae who nodded back.

The ride was as silent as the tears that were running down my face. Jackson didn't try to get me to talk, nor did he try to touch me. He just drove in silence, offering me a box of tissues to wipe my tears away.
Once we were at his apartment, he showed me to his guest bedroom and sat my stuff on the floor. "Thank you." I managed to say as I sat on the bed, before he walked out. He sighed and came back in sitting on the floor next to me.

"I will not force you to talk. I won't even touch you if you don't want to. But know that I am here for you Leenah. You are not alone." He said and I plopped to the ground, hugged him and sobbed onto his shoulder. He rubbed the back of my head and my lower back, making me feel safe in his arms but broken at the memory of Mark and Jay with other girls.

My heart physically ached. I loved him. I may have said it in a hurry but I know now that it's true. I loved Mark so bad, it hurts. Seeing him with Sana like that, it killed me. It felt like my heart shattered to pieces. But she's right, it wouldn't have been enough for him, it wouldn't have been fair.

And Jay. Oh the way Leehi kept touching him so effortlessly and how he let her. With a big, wide, smile plastered on his face.

Maybe they lied. They're just using me. And I am stupid enough to believe them. So desperate for attention.

I sobbed and let out painful screams as my heart ached. Jackson didn't say a word. He just held me tight until I fell asleep.




I woke up to a loud banging on the front door. It was still dark outside. I switched the lights on and saw that I was in Jackson's baggy sweater and shorts. I could hear

"Let me see her!"

"It's wag past midnight. Both of you aren't in the right state of mind. Go back to your place."

"You don't understand. She has to know the truth."

"Trust me. Of all people, I understand that you need to talk to her, but try it when you're not drunk and it's not way past midnight."

I walked out and saw Mark dropped on his knees by the front door crying. He looked drunk out of his mind.

"Jackson. I love her. Sana fucking kissed me and took me by surprise. I put an end to her game once Lee left the room. God! She probably hates me right now." Mark said not bothering to hold back his tears.

"Jackson.." I said as I moved towards them.

"Lee, you don't have to deal with him now. He can go back to his place and you can talk about it tomorrow." Jackson said. I shook my head.

"No. He's not going anywhere in that state. He shouldn't have been out in public in the first place." My first instinct was my managerial instinct. The press would have a field day if someone took photos or videos of his drunken state.

"Lee.." Mark tried to speak but I cut him off.

"Help me get him to the bathroom. I'll help him brush his teeth and wash his face. He reeks of alcohol." I said and Jackson nodded helping the drunk man walk to the bathroom. "Also, can you get a change of clothes please?" I asked. He nodded and walked out, leaving me with him. He sat on the covered toilet seat head down, sniffing every once in a while. "I'm gonna need you to stand by the sink, so I can wash your face and you need to brush your teeth. Can you do that for me?" I asked and he looked with hopeful eyes, tears all over his face, eyes bloodshot like I've never seen before.

"I'd do anything for you to forgive me." He said holding onto my hand. I pulled my hand away gently.

"Let's talk about it when you're sober. Let's get you cleaned up first." I said and his head fell down in disappointment. Jackson walked in with fresh and clean clothes.

"I can leave the apartment for both of you and be back in the afternoon. If you want." He whispered to my ear and I nodded.

"Just help me until he's settled on a bed and then you can leave." I told him and he did just that. A few minutes later Jackson left to the villa. Now, I was left alone with Mark.
We helped him sleep on Jackson's bed and I left for the guest room. But then I remembered how Mark experiences sleep paralysis often so I went back to Jackson's room. It's a big bed, he's drunk and he probably won't even remember me sleeping next to him.
I slipped under the covers at the far end of the bed and tried to get back to sleep. It wasn't even 20 minutes later that I felt the bed sinking on his side. I sat up and turned to see him. His body was stiff, veins were popping out and eyes wide open roaming his surroundings. I held his shoulders and squeezed them enough for him to break out of that state. "Mark, hey I'm right here." I caressed his cheeks with the ends of my sleeves. "I'm right here." I said again. He gasped for air before he threw his head onto my lap crying and sobbing uncontrollably.



With that, I couldn't stop my own tears from falling.
