THIRD PERSON'S POV

It was too much for Sehun and Chanyeol to take in. Saemi took the medicine and they took time for everything to calm down while Chanyeol was just maintaining a calm look but in the back of his mind, he was about to lose it.

"What the heck just happened? I can't.. My god, Saemi. What was that?" Sehun mumbles to himself while walking back and forth that made Saemi even more dizzy just by looking at him.

"Stop walking around, Sehun. You're not helping." Saemi grunts and tries to stand up as Chanyeol assists her.

"Are you alright? Are you sure you can stand up on your own?" Chanyeol was really worried of what might take place if ever he does something wrong unknowingly. His hands supporting her elbow on the process of her standing up.

"Yeah, I can manage." Saemi replied.

"What do you have, chippy? Are you pregnant? Why did you lose balance—"

"Oh my god, for pete's sake! I'm not pregnant. Why would a pregnant woman have difficulties breathing if she's about to learn that she's pregnant?" Saemi facepalmed at the thought. Sehun's just plain overreacting.

"You can't really tell. Maybe the pregnant woman has some sort of other issues in health..."

"I have a heart disease."

Everything just went silent after she said it. The boys couldn't believe it. And at that moment, they had a pang of guilt running through their veins as they look at her as if she's the most fragile glass that may break any moment if dodged or dropped.

"Don't look at me like that." Saemi knew that they would react this way. She didn't need pity. That's why she has always kept it to herself and to her close friends and relatives. Well, if she had friends at second thought.

"Does Baekhyun know?" Chanyeol asks. He knows there's something unusual going on with his pal. And this may just be a big blow for the latter if he knew.

"Nope. And I'm not planning on telling either."

Saemi tries to walk back to the dressing room and left the two speechless because of what they knew. Before she completely leave,

"Please don't tell anyone about this. I'm counting on you, guys."

What was taking her so long in there?

Baekhyun had really imagined all the wild guess he could make in his mind of what could possibly be happening in that hall. She was just gonna hand Chanyeol something but it took her what? More than 5 minutes?

He was about to go there when Suho called for him and so he didn't have a choice but to oblige.

"I heard something from manager hyung about the thing that happened to your family..." At the mention of his family, Baekhyun had already regretted telling everything to their manager. He didn't even consider the thought of letting anyone know but he has to let his manager know since he's also the contact that Lee Soo Man has in terms of information from his idols.

"Hyung, please don't tell anyone about that. I don't want to make it a big fuss." Baekhyun heaves a sigh and shook his head disapprovingly of the thought.

"Sure. But is Saemi the one arranged to wed off to you?" Baekhyun blinked a couple of times before looking at his hyung with an uncertain expression.

"Uhm..."

"She's not just a friend, is she?" Suho plastered a smirk on his face, already knowing where this is heading to.

"I don't know, Hyung. I'm still confused. It's not like it's a good idea to like her either." Baekhyun knows his place. They already planned everything. He knows that they're friends even though they were arranged to be married and he doesn't see any progress in Saemi's feelings either. He knows he doesn't have a chance.

"Why not? She's gonna be your wife soon anyway."

"No, Hyung. We're calling it off before the wedding day takes place. We already talked about it."

"But—"

"Byun," Saemi came to Baekhyun and held him by the shoulder causing him to turn to look at her in an instant.

"Why? Are you okay?" She was pale. Worry crept on Baekhyun at the sight of her dull look.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Can we go home already?"

"Alright. Let's go home, chippy." He immediately grabbed his stuff and before they leave, he gave Suho a look and bid goodbye to the others.

"Drive safe, Baekhyun-a!" Suho reminds as he waves his hand to them. Something was off with Saemi. She didn't even look back to them and walked soulless on her way, her shoulders slumped and he worried that she might just lose her balance on her way.

Good thing Baekhyun was holding her for support, clueless as to why she was suddenly feeling strange.

BAEKHYUN'S POV

"Are you sure you're fine?" She didn't utter a word since we got out from the building. The fans were out and they weren't able to notice us going out which is a good thing. But Saemi's really bothering me.

"Ahuh." She nodded and went out of the car before entering the house as she she fish her keys in.

I tried to pull out ideas from my mind as to what happened but I couldn't even form any. I went in as well after taking my bag.

She must've went straight to her room so I chose to not disturb her.

Or maybe not.

I went to knock on her door and decided to check her up. But she didn't respond. I was contemplating whether to open the door without consent but when I tried, the door was locked causing me to heave a sigh.

Who am I to even know whatever that's happening with her?
