âThere are only a few awards left to be given to some truly incredible artists!â Minjun says almost like heâs sad itâs nearly over.
âOh absolutely,â Seyeon nods enthusiastically. âYou know what I look most forward to?â
âWhatâs that, Seyeon?â
âThe performance the next winner will be giving us!â
âOh my, youâre right!â Minjun gasps in playful realization. âAnd itâs for none other than the âHeartfelt Voice Awardâ! I hope you guys are ready to cry. Because I sure am!â
âWaitâŚâ panic settles into my chest. âCan- can you guys-â I can't finish as breathing becomes to difficult. Even if it wasnât certain yet, I couldnât stop the panic at having to perform so unexpectedly.
âWhatâs wrong?â Romance asks, noticing the fast rising and falling of my chest.
â-Undo it.â
âUndo what?â Miras voice is laced with worry.
âI- I,â I stammer, my eyes not leaving the hosts as an envelope is brought to them. Watching the envelope like I can see through it and read the name on it.
âHey, itâs okay,â Rumi pulls me into her chest, grounding me. âTake a deep breath,â she takes one waiting for me to take one with her. Then gently lets it out, I do the same but mine is shaky. âTry again.â
âI canât perform,â I whisper, voice trembling, shaking my head finally turning to look at her. âI canât do this.â
âSure you can!â Jinu says with a confident grin on his face. I just shake my head.
âY/N!!â The shout of my name startles me. I freeze, eyes returning to the stage. My picture presented on the big screen. The hosts look somewhat puzzled. As do I.
There is polite clapping as Rumi gently nudges me to get up. I leave my small clutch with them, looking back at them as I hesitantly start walking. âYouâve got this!â Zoey says giving me two thumbs up, beaming.
âShe wasnât supposed to win,â itâs a grumble that she doesnât hear while she slowly makes her way to the stage. But the others do. Eight pairs of eyes turn toward the voice. Jaewon. Staring daggers at the back of his head. None of them say anything⌠but the message is clear. Standing up, clapping louder than anyone else in the room. A push. A warning. And she needs it. Every last bit of it.
My legs feel like they might give out with every step I take, my heart still bounding in my chest. Once I reach the stage and am given the award I awkwardly stand in front of the mic. âThank you, I-â my words falter, my eyes meeting a glaring Jaewon. But then excited movement from above him brings a smile to my face. A wave, encouraging smiles and a nod that says âyou can do thisâ from Jinu. âI didnât expect to win tonight,â I say honestly. âBut it is truly an honor, thank you so much to those who listen to my songs, support me and especially voted tonight,â looking at the award as the words settle within me. âReally⌠thank you,â Stepping back from the mic Iâm met with more applause a bit more sincere this time.
âLet me take that real quick,â Seyeon says gently, taking the award from my hands. âGood luck!â With that she and Minjun disappear at the side of the stage. The lights dim just enough to shift the mood, and then my song starts playing. Closing my eyes, I take one last breath and sing.
Finally hit the ground I'm at the bottom now Never thought I could be this low Felt like falling down an endless hole No, I don't see the light And I don't hear God Crawling in the dark Now my limbs are cold Screaming out "Help" but it just echoes
A silence falls over the room. Everyone listening with bated breath. All consumed by the unexpected depth of my voice. By the ache woven into every note, the weight of words no one dares to speak out loud.
Only one way out of here I don't think I can reach it Everything I hold dear Erased by all of my demons My sorry is sincere I've just lost all of my reasons Reasons left to stay
When I open my eyes, Iâm stunned to find Iâve become the center of attention. No one is talking, everyone is quite literally staring. Wide eyed, stunned faces, confused but pleasantly surprised. As if they expected a whisper but got a storm.
So, if this is goodbye Please, don't count my cry as a sin No, I don't wanna die But it keeps getting harder to live And I put up a fight But now I've got nothing to give So, if this is goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I hope someday to see you again
The song is emotional and raw. It captures everyone in the room even the ones who didnât know her before this very moment. She had already captured their attention when she walked in. Clumsy, quiet, walking with uncertainty. But hearing her sing this song live, it hit different.
Itâs like a string got pulled tight between them and her. A need to protect. To have. To understand. And something more dangerous; an obsession.
There's nothing you could've said Nothing you could've done different It was always between me and my head Never meant to hurt you in the process But I just can't keep holding on Wish I could believe that things will get better Wish I could just flip a switch in my mind Then I could fix how I feel altogether Then I could mean it when I say I'm fine It's never that easy and neither is life Don't think I wanted to leave you behind I tried, I tried, I tried
This song, it wasnât for Jaewon. That much was obvious. But who was it to?
The answer.
Herself.
So, if this is goodbye Please, don't count my cry as a sin No, I don't wanna die But it keeps getting harder to live And I put up a fight But now I've got nothing to give Nothing, nothing So, if this is goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I hope someday to see you again If this is goodbye I'll see you If this is goodbye Open up my eyes I don't know where I am And everything is blurry My mom's holding my hand Turns out I was in a hurry But God had other plans He said my goodbye was early Now I've got a second chance
I stood in pure silence for a moment. Everyone shocked at the emotional impact this song had on them. In the end a couple of tears were shed.
âThat⌠wasâŚâ Seyeon enters the stage once more. Tissue in hand. Letting out a sigh as she shakes her head struggling to find the right word. â⌠beautiful,â is what she settles for. That seems to put the room back in motion as applause suddenly, loudly rings around the room.
Startled, tears gather in my eyes. âThank you,â I smile through tears.
âThis award,â Minjun starts as he too returns. Holding up my award. âIs extremely well deserved,â I thank them once more before exiting the stage. Climbing my way back up the stairs. Iâm stared at, even get a bow here and there as I pass them. I bow back like I donât deserve their respect.
When I get back to my seat Zoey and Rumi are crying while Mira is obviously holding back her tears.
âThat was so⌠ethereal,â Zoey sniffles. Standing up to pull me in a hug. âYou deserved this award! Even if you didnât think so.â
Taking her phone from her clutch while she talked to the girls was almost too easy. Even when she sat back down she hadnât noticed how Baby easily manipulated the device to unlock with his demon powers. First he found her phone number, saving it in his own phone.
The causality of how he handled it and the guys keeping her distracted made it go unnoticed for much longer. The guys had quickly noticed what their maknae was up to. Making sure he would get it done. Easily installing spying software, hiding it from her, but making sure it worked from his own device. It wasnât about invading her privacy. It was about keeping her safe.
By the time she reached for her clutch again, it was back in it place, exactly where she thought sheâd left it. Missing the pointed look Mira gave the maknae as if to tell him he better share what he finds.
âWow,â I sigh, grabbing my clutch, using it as a fan. âThank you,â glancing both ways trying to meet their eyes. As I thank them for their - undeserved - support. âI would not have been able to do that if it wasnât for you,â a blush tinting my cheeks but I blame it on the heat in here. In reality there is air conditioning in the room making sure everyone was comfortable.
âOf course,â Abby smirks, but I know heâs genuine.
âItâs nothing, you needed a push,â Mira shrugs casually. âYou deserved it.â
âThank you, anyway,â I make sure they know Iâm being sincere. âBut I really need the bathroom now,â I chuckle awkwardly receiving understanding chuckles back. Getting up I follow the signs to the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, I take a moment to freshen up a bit, I look at myself in the mirror. A genuine smile still playing on my lips. âI did it,â I mutter, barely believing my own words. âI actually won.â
Taking my phone from my clutch, my notification wall is full. There are new followers on every social media platform I have. Mentions of my performance. Clips, screenshots, reactions. And of course all the posts the Saja Boys and Huntr/x created to support me and my song.
Mentions of my other songs too. People finding them, loving them. It makes me feel warm. Loved. Seen.
I exit the bathroom relax, distracted even. A bit too distracted apparently when I get the air literally knocked out of me. Pushed into the wall right at the archway to the venue hall.
âWha-â
âShut up!â I recognize the voice immediately. Anxiety lighting a fire in my being. Eyes wide, they find his. His face is contorted in anger. âYou werenât supposed to win,â his hand balls into a fist, rising, but he knows heâs still in public. Lowering the fist he grips my upper arm instead. Tight enough to create bruising, making me squirm and whine.
âLet go of me,â my voice is small. The fear in my eyes only making him chuckle.
âNo, this is how you should have looked,â he continues, voices nearly growling the words at me. âI orchestrated this. Made sure you were nominated for a song no one even knew. Made it so you had to sit with those you looked up to,â tears form in my eyes. I knew it... I knew I shouldnât have been here. His other hand lands on my shoulder, thumb laying at the base of my neck. Pressing hard, making it uncomfortable to talk or swallow.
It seems my arms decide that they now have the strength to try and push him away. But it doesnât work. Heâs stronger than me.
âYou should have ran out of here, crying! Like the weakling you are,â his voice stays the same, unfazed by my trembling attempts to push him away from me. âHow did you win?â there is real anger laced with genuine curiosity. Thumb pressing harder onto my throat.
âBecause she deserves it,â the voice stuns both me and Jaewon. Itâs Mystery. Before I can react, Jaewon quickly pulls me to his chest. I cough with the pressure now gone from my throat. He acts like he didnât just have a bruising grip on me. Like all he wanted to do was hug me as a way to congratulate me on the win. Even if it was all a lie to protect his image.
The way Mystery was positioned had given Jaewon the false idea that no one had caught his cruel actions towards her. But Mystery knew. They all knew, even Huntr/x who were currently performing unable to protect what was theirs. Even if she didnât know it yet.
âOh, I wasnât accusing,â Jaewon continues, feigning sincerity, but the sharp tone in his voice betrays him. âCongratulations on your win, Y/n,â the way he says my name. It's sharp and I know itâs a warning. Mystery takes my hand, pulling me closer to him so Iâm not in Jaewonâs reach.
âThanks,â itâs forced and breathless as it leaves my lips. I let Mystery lead me back to our seats. Trying to fake my confidence like nothing happened.
They all know something happened, but donât point it out. From the way she walks and sits down stiffly. Trying to portray that genuine happiness she showed earlier. Only it doesnât reach her eyes. They know now is not the time to talk about what they all witnessed. Instead, they watch quietly, guarding her in their own way.
The rest of the award show luckily goes by swimmingly. I hate to have to say goodbye to the eight who already meant a lot to me. Now more than I ever thought possible.
But I knew this was probably the first and only time I would get to talk to them. At least for a good while. The girls gave me a hug, squeezing me tightly. Letting me know once more that I deserved the win. Iâm not sure how to say goodbye to the guys. Jinu just tskâs, and pulls me in for a hug as well.
Even if he makes it seem nonchalant he canât stop himself from breathing in her hair as she hugs him back.
Mystery makes sure to squeeze tightly, like a reminder that heâs there for her.
Baby playfully rolls his eyes at her, poking her sides to make her jump before giving his own hug. Gently petting the top of her head.
Abby smirks, teasing her. Saying that she only wants a hug so she can feel his abs. She chuckles genuinely, making all their hearts melt.
Last is Romance who will gladly take a hug, lingering for longer than needed. Placing a peck on her soft cheek, causing a soft flush to her face.
Missing the way the girls glare at the boys with envy.
My manager had been surprisingly quiet the next day. Normally he would start calling me the moment the sun woke.
Now itâs Monday, two days after the K-pop Rising Stars Awards. Still, itâs radio silence from my manager. I had messaged him myself to ask if he saw my win. He hadnât even read it. Nothing.
With Luminara Entertainment right around the corner from the dorms, I headed there early. I needed answers. Arriving around 8 am, I waved at Juna at the reception desk. She smiled gently but there was something almost rehearsed in it. Shrugging off the feeling I head for the elevator making my way to Kyungsooâs office.
Outside the office door I heard voices. So I at least knew he was in. Knocking softly on the wooden door, I wait. The conversation grew silent immediately. When Kyungsoo finally cracked the door open, his eyes barely met mine.
âHey, I messaged, but I didnât hear from you,â I tell him, confusion clear on my face. Partially because heâs just peeking out of a small slit in the door but mostly because I hadnât heard from him.
âY/n, Iâm so sorry,â I can tell immediately that itâs not sincere. Voice flat, lacking his usually somewhat warmth. âIâve just been really busy. Just continue working on your songs in the studio. Iâll check in with you soon,â before I could respond the door closed again.
Busy or not, it was clear I wasnât a priority. He didnât even congratulate me. Tension rose in my shoulders like something was up but I couldnât put my finger on it.
His phone dings with a new familiar chime. Y/n opened her phone. Picking up his own from where it rested on the coffee table.
They had been given an off day after holding a concert on Sunday the day after the Award show. The five of them relaxing a bit. Though that wasnât the only thing going on.
Mystery had done a full deep dive on Jaewon, turns out the only reason NIOR7 was doing as well as they were. Was because of daddyâs money.
Jinu, who sat next to Baby, recognized the sound too. All of them knew what it meant, having observed her activity since she left the venue. Including making sure she actually got home safe. Not leaving the outside of Luminara dorms until they saw her face in one of the windows.
A new message came in.
Jaewon Enjoying your win
She didnât start typing, but didnât move away from it either. Why had she not blocked him yet? As if she heard their thoughts, she excited the chat. Going to her blocked numbers. A list of at least seventeen blocked contacts showed up. All named Jaewon.
It didnât matter whether she blocked him. He would just get a new number and keep tormenting her.
Jaewon Not for long, I'm sure
What does that even mean? What is he up to?
Abby who stood behind the couch looking at the screen with them. âIâll call the girls.â
When they had gotten back to Honmoon Tower after making sure Y/n had gotten back safely. The girls insisted on making a pact. Not believing they would actually share everything with them if they didnât make a pact. They vowed to keep each other updated on everything happening with Y/n. No secrets.
The pact sealed with a tattoo of a tiny flame appearing on their ribs as a reminder, and as punishment. If they were to forget to share something, important or not. The tattoo would slowly start burning, growing stronger the longer it takes. Only stopping when the information is shared.
All they heard was Abby saying âItâs about Y/nâ and they appeared in their living room. Worry clear on their faces. Dressed in gym clothes, a sheen of sweat covering their skin. Still a little breathless.
âWhat is it?â Zoey ask, finding a seat next to Baby as Abby hangs up the phone. Rolling his eyes at their appearance playfully.
âJaewon, he just wont stop tormenting her,â Jinu explains. âI think itâs a threat but I canât be sure,â taking Babyâs phone from him to show Jaewonâs last message to her.
âIt has to be,â Mira confirms, obvious anger at the man harassing their girl. âWhat else can you do with this?â she asks, talking about the mirror image of Y/nâs phone.
âA lot,â Baby smirks. âWhen sheâs asleep I can activate her phone and look through it.â
âAnd if she is using it? Can you listen to what sheâs saying?â
âI could yeah,â Baby nods, going to the settings and activating the mic on her phone and the speaker on his own. Her voice immediately filling the space.
âWhat are you talking about?â I chuckle at the absurdity of my current situation. âYouâre dropping me?â
âYes, I am,â Kyungsoo says. There is uncertainty in his voice, his posture stiff. âEffective immediately.â
âWhat? But my contract-â
âItâs doesnât matter,â he cuts me off. âBecause of a morality clause. The label believes itâs best to part ways with the recent⌠controversies surrounding you.â
âControversies? What controversies?â he avoids my gaze as I dig for more answers.
âThatâs not for me to say,â he shrugs awkwardly casual. âYou have 24 hours to get out of the dorms.â
âTwenty-fo- What? Thatâs not enough time! Where am I meant to go!?â
âYouâll figure it out,â with that he walks out, slamming the door to the studio.
âWhat?â my voice a quiet whisper as I sink back down onto the couch. âWhat am I gonna do?â I ask myself, my voice shaky.
BzzzâŚ. Bzzzz
Glancing at my phone which still sat on the coffee table where I left it when Kyungsoo came in.
Unknown Hey, how is your day?
