Realistic or Modern Haenghada High (CLOSED)

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Choi gave a nonchalant shrug when Yubin turned to her. "Can't promise anything." She mumbled quietly and looked down at her manicured nails. This was an awful idea, she knew it would be. "Rosee, you really need to straighten that boys head. Who cares if he likes a job? You're not a sugar mama. Even Hyuuns doing something he hates. So what? It pays the bills." She was distracted from Minho for a minute. That is, until Yubin said something about Minho's pocket. "The fuck is in your pocket Minho?" Her brows quirked curiously as she stood to her feet and walked to him. "Hands up." Her voice was demanding and pretty much said that he had no choice. Her thin hand slipped inside of his pocket and blinked slightly when she felt a little book of papers. "What the hell?" She pulled it out of his pocket slowly and felt her heart ache. She took a sharp inhale before glaring up at him. "No, we're not doing this here. If I'm killing you it's going to be in private." Choi shoved the coupon book into the pocket of her romper and grabbed his good hand, leading him into one of the bedrooms and shutting the door behind her. 


She let his hand go and leaned against the door, crossing her hands over her chest. "Why the hell were you carrying that around? Why the hell do you still have it? What's the big secret that you're not letting me in on?" She took off the sunglasses and let out a long sigh. She was so exhausted she didn't even want to punch him, though she was sure she could summon the energy if need be. "And what's with the drinking, Minho?" She let out another sigh. "Drugs. Alcohol. Women. I've heard the whispers and rumors. You're better than this. You're on that drama for fucks sake, you're doing well. There's no reason to be doing all of this. You're destroying yourself." Was Choi the best person for this pep talk? Probably not. But obviously Yubin wasn't getting through to him. And he was such a mess even Choi could see it.

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

"I just want to go back to where I don't know anyone. Maybe I'll get lost or something." Or kidnapped. Or murdered. Something. She had officially given up on life. She just wanted someone to talk to. Choi, Hyuun, Hoya, they were all busy with their own things. Ryn was the one person that she felt comfortable talking to. And it was all a lie...Ryn had been judging her the whole time. If she was told up front that would have been fine! ...Okay, probably not. But it would have been better than finding out like this.


Yuri flinched when Jin moved in front of her, her hands quickly wiping away the tears flowing from her eyes. Why was he so worried about how she felt? She should have felt bad for him! She should be the one trying to comfort him. "We've been in Germany. We did go to India a couple months back, though..." Was that going to make him feel any better? Probably not. It was the best attempt she had at this point. When he moved her hair she felt her cheeks heat up. Just him being this close to her made her nervous. "I'm fine, really." But before she could make her escape she was being pulled into a hug, tears pouring out of her eyes once again. "I'm sorry. It's not her fault! M-Maybe she just forgot." She laughed nervously as she cried in her shoulder. She knew better. "I'm sorry Jin. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She was sorry about everything, the breakup, ignoring him for the past year, and now she ruined his life again. Her arms wrapped around him tightly, burying her face into his shoulder. She kept telling herself how much it was a good idea to leave Jin, he'd be better off, but she couldn't help but miss him. 

 

[Sir Damien]

Shit shit shit. Fucking Hoya, he had to mention something about tattoos! "I uh, I meant to tell you Yubin. I was getting there eventually." He rubbed the back of his neck slowly before rolling up his sleeve to reveal the tree on his wrist. "I'm a Park. Like Yuri. Parks are mob property. My dad is actually the leader of the Seven Stars." He pulled up the legs of his pants to reveal three stars on each leg, a star on his other wrist. "I uh, only found out who my mom is just recently. After she died, actually. My dad had her obituary, and I put two and two together. I found out that she had another kid, Yuri. Turns out we're twins. Our mom kept her and gave me to our real father. Our moms husband didn't want to give up the daughter, but he didn't want to raise me." He was just digging himself deeper and deeper into a whole at this point. 


"I used you, Yubin. I'm sorry. I didn't think that it mattered all that much. You settled for me, you're still in love with someone else. I'm not your best friend, and I was never going to be your best friend. I just...I had to meet Yuri. She was impossible to reach. You're her friend, I figured we'd get together at some point. It's not like I could have Hoya kidnap her or anything. And I couldn't write her, she'd call me a freak." Lee rolled back down his pants and adjusted his sleeves.


He bowed deeply to Yubin. "I know I'll never gain your trust back and I'm forever sorry to you." 

 

[Sir Damien]

The FUCK was happening?! Yuri was yelling, Jin even started to get loud, Yubin was yelling, Choi was yanking Minho into another room, and Rosee was scolding someone over the phone. And then Lee? Lee was Yuri's brother? Even so, what he did to Yubin was the same damn thing G tried to do to her! Not really, but it was the same general idea! It was what every guy did to her. Used her. 


"Alright. That's my cue." While Lee was bowed over Hyuun took the opportunity to knee him in the stomach, pushing him down on the ground. "I'm gone for a year and you find another guy like Jin and G, huh?" He glanced back at Yubin with a long sigh. "From now on you need approval of guys you date. Like christ. Unless they're me they need to go through a vigorous application. Like 1, What are your intentions with Yubin? 2, What are your relations with Yuri? If I don't like either or, kick the fucks to the curb." 


"Now. As Yuri's possible twin I'll apologize, but as Yubin's best friend I'm going to tell you to walk it the fuck off and man up." Hyuun banged on the door Choi and Minho walked in. "I'm not stitching the fucker up anymore, so don't hurt him too badly." Should he check on Jin and Yuri? ..No. Hoya was there. They'd be fine. 

 

[Colt Voltage]

As soon as Jin moved in front of Yuri and dismissed Hoya he nodded and walked back inside of the apartment. He knew the two of them needed some alone time. Especially with what just happened. He'd have to talk to Lee about sending her somewhere, like therapy or something. She was getting somewhere dark and he didn't want her too depressed. Who knew what would happen then. 


He made it inside in time to hear Rosee defending Jung. He couldn't help but laugh quietly. "I'm sorry, the first thing you do when you move to a new city, or anywhere, is get a job. I don't give two flying shits if you like it or not! You don't quit if you don't like it. It's a job, it pays the bills. And you don't rely on your girlfriend to pay for your things. Being in a relationship just so your significant other can pay your bills and expenses for living? Pretty sure that's prostitution." He sighed as soon as he said that. "Shit, I offended you again didn't I? I'm not apologizing. But if you need money I've got you covered. Not him though. Your family doing alright?" It was the first words Hoya had spoken to Rosee. Were they the most kind? No. But she needed to hear it.


Before he knew it Hyuun was moving to knee and push Lee to the floor, his eyes going wide.  "Hyuun!" Hoya moved to Hyuun to force him to apologize to Lee. Fortunately he had already apologized. Good. He didn't want to get violent on a friend, but Lee was his boss. Well, Boss's kid, but that made his word pretty much law. The same principal for Yuri, too. She didn't know it yet, but there were hundreds of mobsters looking out for her. Him, his boss, and Lee being one of them. 

 

[ZombieBaee]

And once again, Yubin came in second to Yuri. 


Her eyes started to well up with tears as she listened to Lee and her arms wrapped around herself uncomfortably. Yubin couldn't focus on the yelling going on in Minho's room, or the sobs that she heard coming from the hallway. All that she could focus on was the insecurity that rolled over her once again. "You couldn't write her?" She cried at him, her hands clutching onto her own arms as she looked him up and down. "Because she would think you're a freak?! You're right! Because using one of her friends to get to her is totally normal! You piece of shit!" Before Yubin got the chance to spit at him like she wanted, Hyunn was in front of her and giving Lee a swift knee to the stomach. A sudden flash back of him at the hotspring came back to her. Hyunn's hands covered in cuts from his fight with G. 


"Hyunn stop it!" Yubin yelled, moving to grab his arm and yank him back. As much as Yubin would have loved to watch this happen, she didn't want anyone actually getting hurt. That is until the next few words came out of his mouth. Causing her to turn on him as he banged on the door with anger in her eyes. "If you wanted to screen my relationships then maybe you should have stayed Hyunn! Or I don't know, maybe for once you could actually go after what you want rather than pleasing daddy. Say what you fucking mean, what were the shots at Lee about earlier then Hyunn? The comments last night about how we spend our nights? How about for once you just man the fuck up like you told Lee to do and just SAY IT!" Her face was bright red as she talked to him, her hands moving wildly around in response to her words. "Stop complaining about what I do when you're gone. Because without you here I don't know what in the fuck else you expected me to do." 


Yubin swallowed hard, "And you can stay by the front door until Yuri comes in. You can talk to her. And then you can get the fuck out of my line of vision for the rest of my fucking life." Lee wasn't the one for Yubin, never was. But this constant cycle of being the doormat for Yuri was getting really fucking old.

 

[ZombieBaee]

Was Jin a total piece of trash? Possibly. Why? Because the moment Yuri was in his arms again it was like Ryn never existed. No one had lived with him for the past few months. He had no fiance. He just had Yuri back. And that was all that he could focus on. Techniically she wasn't even back! There was nothing happening that meant she wanted to be with him. Nothing at all. But Jin couldn't ignore how right it felt to hold her again. To listen to her talk. To comfort her.


"Yuri, yuri shh... Stop it. You don't have to be sorry it was her not you." Jin shushed her as he ran his hand over her hair a few times. Trying to get her to stop apologizing and crying. "I didn't even think she could do something like this to a person Yuri. So if anything I should be thanking you. Because now I know what kind of person Ryn really was okay? I'm just sorry you got caught up in it all." Jin pulled away from her a little before putting both of his hands on either side of her face and wiping away the tears. "I love you." Jin said it so out of the blue that it even caused shock to himself. He had been thinking it, oh god had he been thinking it, for a long time. But until now he just put it on mute. It was too hard to keep quiet now, not when she was standing right in front of him. Not when he had a chance to finally talk to her after all of this bullshit. "Yuri, I don't deserve better than you. I don't want anything other than you. I know that seems insane to say when I was engaged to another girl... but Yuri I... I think we all coped in insane ways with how we all left things. Mine just seemed normal..." 


Inside the room, Jin heard a crash, causing him to jump up and look at the door with wide eyes. "Yuri I think we should get in there... it sounds like it's getting violent."

 

[KAYDEN]

Minho fell back onto the bed, resting his cast against his knee and reaching out his free hand to Choi, "Just give me it back okay. Please." Just being without the stupid thing was making him feel uncomfortable. He was on edge, his foot was tapping against the ground and his face was growing warm. It was embarrassing to him, how dependent his mental state was on that one stupid thing. "Choi. Please." Minho looked up at her and gave a small groan, "You shouldn't believe every rumor you hear. Drugs? Drinking ? Sure. The rest of it is just that though. You can ask Yubin." He didn't know why he felt the need to explain himself to her but he didn't want her thinking he was sleeping with everything that moved. He'd gone on dates, gone to parties. Maybe been a little... flirty... a little kissing. But it sickened him. So he stopped. 


"No reason?" Minho scoffed and motioned to her, "Want to talk about no reason. You're beautiful Choi. Why do this?!" He stood and moved over to her, peering down at her with a glare that didn't read through all the way. No, he was trying to glare. But he couldn't look at her with anything but love. "You want to really know why I broke up with you Choi? You want to know why I broke up with probably the most amazing girl to ever walk this earth? Well then you should probably ask your fucking manager. They got what they wanted. You in the hands of G. And whoever else." Minho growled and turned to start going through his drawers, pulling out a piece of paper from her record company. It was her managers contact info and an email printout of where to meet to talk about Choi. 

 

[EclipseRosee]

"He-He's not just dating me for money Hoya!" Rosee was pissed, here he was after all this time and damn near instantly he was back to judging Jung! "Sometimes people need help getting on their feet! How many times did you buy me lunch, or help me pay for books? Or oh I don't know. Pay all of my family's fucking bills?" She fell back into the couch and crossed her arms across her chest. She didnt know why she thought he would be suddenly understanding. Although it wasn't just Hoya, Choi thought the same thing. And the girls in the group... Was it just Rosee that didn't catch on? No, her and Jung have known each other since they were little and he was never a materialistic person! 


"What's the difference. My sister pulls the same shit and you never say anything about me sending her money." Her voice dripped with annoyance as she looked out the window, her fingers tapping against her own skin. "And they're fine. Someone paid their fucking bills so they're living it up like I said they would. My sister quit her job and my dad thinks it means they can afford shit that they really cant." Rosee had told them where the money came from, and that it was going to run out soon and they didn't believe her. They kept saying it was just a miracle. Sure, for them maybe. For Rosee it was causing her to want to rip her hair out.


Beyond Hoya, Rosee could hear everyone yelling and it just made her laugh. "I cannot believe I made Choi come to this mess because I wanted to see you."

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yuri felt like trash, lower than trash actually. She had just ended a relationship, fuck, a relationship that damn near become a marriage. The worst part of it was the fact that she didn't care. At least, not while she was in Jin's arms. Not while he pet her hair like he used to. Yuri knew she missed him like crazy but she had convinced herself that she'd never have him back, so she just accepted it. Now that he was comforting her though, she felt like nothing had changed for a brief moment. A piece of her felt bad for Ryn. She had been such a nice person to her up until now, and she could only assume the same to Jin. But here Jin was thanking her...


The words froze Yuri. I love you. The words repeated over and over again in her head, the words she had dreamed of hearing him say. His hands on her face made her cheeks heat up, a small smile forming on her pretty lips. "I love you, too..." She quietly mumbled slightly, her hand reaching up to hold one of his. Her heart pitter pattered anxiously as she held onto his hand and looked into his eyes and listened to him. Her head turned towards the door when she heard the crash, giving a small nod to his words. "Yeah...agreed." 


As she walked to the door she stopped when she seen a ring in front of the door. She knelt down and picked it up, her heart aching miserably. "I ruined her happy life..." Ryn always seemed so happy. It made Yuri see hope in the bleak and miserable world. She just crushed someone's hopes and dreams. "I'm sorry Ryn..." 


--


Choi's gaze towards Minho softened as he insisted on her giving back the book. Why did he want the stupid thing so much? It was just paper. Paper she colored, wrote on, designed, poured her heart into it for him...okay, so maybe it was a little more than paper. But they were done and over, at that point it became just paper. Hell, she felt bad that she had believed the rumors. When she heard that he had dated all those gorgeous actresses she became convinced that he had slept with them. He was funny, charming, amazing. Why wouldn't any girl want to be with him? Deep down inside she still wanted to be. She reached into her pocket and touched the papers, getting ready to give it back to him. Well, until he motioned to her. She damn near ripped up the paper at that point. 


"Back off. I thought I was beautiful at one point, but then you broke up with me! What other reason would you have? I wasn't pretty enough. Which is fine, I don't need your approval!" But she did. She really really did need his approval. When he broke up with her it seemed like everything began to affect her. Her fathers lack of care, her mother focusing on her looks, constantly keeping up with the latest trends... Minho kept her grounded. 


When he pulled out the email printout she took it from him and let her eyes skip over the words, her heart sinking further and further in her stomach. It had her managers signature and everything...her email... This couldn't have been forged. Minho wasn't tech savvy enough to do that. "You're serious?" Choi's voice was almost a whisper, dropping the letter as she sunk to the floor. "I...I'm sorry." She reached into her pocket and tossed the coupon book to him. She was quitting. Who cares if she got blacklisted. If her manager did that what else would she do? 


"I hated you so much. All you had to do was tell me. I-I would have left the group. You were all I cared about. I've done so much since you left..." She had so much to be ashamed of. All the guys. G. The starving herself. Her attitude. Hyuun... "I'm not the greatest girl anymore Minho. I'm an awful human being." 

 

[Sir Damien]

Lee fell to the ground after Hyuun hit him, letting out a loud groan as he landed on the floor. "Hoya, I deserved that one." He coughed quietly and pushed himself to the standing position. "I understand. I hope you forgive me one day, Yubin." He rubbed the back of his neck as he walked to the door. He opened it and nearly walked into Yuri. "Yuri." He cleared his throat, moving her further into the hall as he closed the door behind him. "Jin, you can go back in there. I need a moment alone with Yuri." He cleared his throat again before looking at the tear stained eyed short female. The more he looked at her the more he realized that they were indeed twins. The dark hair, the eyes, the nose, the lips. The good looks. He just got his fathers height, she got her mothers. 


"Yuri, I forgot to introduce myself earlier. I really didn't have the chance to." He chuckled nervously before rolling up his sleeve. I'm uh, Lee Park." How did he word this. "Let's go out. N-Not like on a date or anything, but I need to uh, talk to you about some things." He glanced over at Jin again, implying that he needed to talk to her alone. "You can bring Hoya if you'd like. He's a pretty good mediator as of late..." 

 

[Sir Damien]

Hyuun let out a loud, audible laugh when Yubin yelled at him. "You're fucking kidding me, right? I'm the only one who every stands up for you. I chose you, not Yuri. Apparently I'm the only one, and yet I'm still the bad guy! Between you and my fucking sister, I don't know what to do or say anymore! I'm in fucking medical school 20 hours away on a plane, and yet you want me to fucking man up? Or do you want me to stand back and watch you date these fucks?!" This was comical! He would have rather done another 20 hours straight in the ER than deal with this. "Yubin if I would have won I would have fucking proposed to you, but I didn't. I made a promise to my father and I'm a man of my word, unlike all these boys you fucking date. I'm sorry. I never said that I wouldn't continue music after med school, I just promised my father I'd become a doctor. So that's why I'm there. That's why I don't have time to focus on a relationship! Do you know who I think about constantly? You. I worry about you. Of course my sister and Yuri and everyone else, but I more worry about you. Who looks out for you if I'm not around? Minho is too fucked up to look out for you, and Jin is off in lala land with some stylist!" 


No. Fuck this. 


"I'm out. I'll fucking walk to the airport, I don't care. You're free Yubin. I'd still recommend a medical professional watch over Hyuun, but you don't care for my recommendations anymore, so do whatever you want. That seems to working well already." Hyuun walked out of the apartment with a slam of the door to see Jin, Yuri, and Lee. "Fucking just tell her you're her brother already. Quit beating around the bush before you freak her out." He shown an apologetic look to Yuri before he went into the stairwell, walking down the stairs. 

 

[Colt Voltage]

"A man doesn't need help from his woman, a man supports his woman. Fine, even if he did need help he shouldn't have blown his rent money. And family is family. My father shouldn't have supported me, but he just left me as sole heir to his whole entire estates and businesses when he died." He groaned as the words passed his lips. He didn't mean to bring that up. It was still a sensitive subject. His face softened slightly when he heard her last sentence. "You wanted to see me...?" He shifted from foot to foot and sighed loudly. "Rosee, I'm sorry. I'm never the best trying to support someone. But you don't deserve to be used. Is this why you live with your bandmates? You're supporting him?" It was her money, she could do with it what she wanted, but she shouldn't be spending it on that douche. 


He knelt in front of her and smiled slightly. "You're a great person, you see the best in people. But it's my job to see the worst in people, to see what they're capable of. I see what money does to people. Unfortunately I wanted to help your family and I didn't see the consequences...I apologize for that one." He bit at his lip before continuing. "Let me help you. I'm not discouraging your relationship aloud. I'll help Jung if you want. Make him out a bill sheet. Get him a job. Just, I can't see you stressing like this. I can't watch you support him. It's killing me." 

 

[ZombieBaee]

 

Yubin stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do. What should she do? Her heart was pounding in her chest as she listened to his rebuttal. He wasn't understanding what she was saying! Yubin wanted to yell at him that he was being stupid and that he should open his god damn ears once in a while but unfortunately her entire being was focused on that one word; propose. Her feet were frozen to the ground as she watched him walk out the door and she struggled to find words. Behind her she could hear Hoya and Rosee slightly, turning to look at them with wide eyes. "D-Did either of you know about that?" She swallowed hard and looked back at the door for a moment before taking in a giant breath and quickly making her way out of her apartment and out into the hallway.


"Hyunn!" Yubin yelled as she pushed through Jin and Lee, She thought to stop for a moment and make sure Yuri was okay but she couldn't. She was running down the stairs and found herself on the pavement outside the high rise apartments before she finally caught up to him. "Will you stop, you absolute idiot!" She was out of breath and panting when she reached him, her arm reaching out and clutching onto his shirt. "Just. Stop." After a few seconds of catching her breath and clearing her mind.


While still clutching onto his shirt she started, her words stumbling over each other as she spoke. Yubin was a rapper for fucks sake but this had her so flustered she couldn't even talk normally. "I don't mean to go back on your word. I didn't mean that at all. I know what your deal was, I didn't understand it at all at first but I came to terms with it. I meant man up and tell me what you mean Hyunn. You're giving me shit about the guys I pick. But it's only because I didn't know I had a chance in hell with you!" Yubin finally let him go and stood up straight, reaching up with her sleeve to wipe the forming tears from her eyes. "You never said anything. I-I didn't even know. It wasn't that you were far away, or that you were at medical school. It was that you never said anything Hyunn!" She wasn't angry with him for leaving, or going to medical school. She was angry that he expected her to magically know something!      


Across the street Yubin started to hear the sound of voices growing and the sound of cameras grow even louder. Shit... For a moment she thought that maybe she would be allowed a moment of privacy. 


Across the street Yubin started to hear voices, lots of voices. A crowd was forming and cellphone cameras were going off left and right. Shit. 

 

[ZombieBaee]

Was this them getting back together? No, it would require more than that. Plus it would require ending things for sure with Ryn... though he thought that was pretty obvious to both of them that it was far over. Jin should really call her though, tell her that he was sorry for how he handled it all and that he forced her into an uncomfortable situation. Though he was happy he did... what if he had married the girl before finding out? If Ryn had just been upfront with him from the beginning he wouldn't have a problem but her lies, he couldn't marry someone that he couldn't trust. Plus... Ryn trying to keep them from finding out about each other had actually pushed them into each others arms. Literally. 


"Wait what?" Just as they moved to walk inside, Jin was confronted with Ryn's ring on the ground and a Lee waiting in the doorway. He was a Park? Jin looked past Lee and to Yubin who was getting into it with Hyunn and it was pretty quick to figure out what happened here. "You never actually liked her did you...?" The words came out without him meaning to say it but if Hyunn was pissed off with the guy, it had to boil down to Yubin. Especially with the comparison of G and himself.... 


As Hyunn pushed past he said something about Lee being Yuri's brother and Jin instantly went into guard mode. Yuri had said herself that her dad was in the mob. And Hoya's comment about tattoos? Jin was usually out of the loop but he'd grown a little in the past year. "I'm only leaving if Yuri wants me to." He looked down at her with a raised brow, his body still partially in front of hers.

 

[KAYDEN]

Minho quickly caught the coupon book in his good hand before he kneeled down on the ground in front of her, reaching over and placing his hand on her shoulder. "Choi do you remember that conversation in the kitchen. The one where you thought that I was giving up on trying because of you. How do you think I would have felt if I knew you quit because of me? Or that you were getting kicked out because of me. I don't want that for you. I know you say you don't care but a little part of you would. And it would sit there and grow and grow until you resented me for taking away your dream."  Minho looked at her for a long moment before pulling one of the coupons out of the book and ripping it in half. It was the one free fuck up one. He handed half to her and gave her a gentle smile. 


"We both kid of fucking suck right now. But I know for damn sure that Yubin wouldn't deal with either of us if we were total lost causes okay. Trust me. She's dealt with a lot of shit recently." Minho slid his good arm under Choi and helped her stand up. Not that it was hard... there was barely anything to her. "I just want you happy and successful okay? And that means being healthy. Being in a better place emotionally. The whole nine yards." Who in the hell was Minho to preach health and wellness to anyone?! They were at his intervention for fucks sake.


"I have a few weeks before filming starts again and Yubin was trying to get me into a rehab for that time. But I'm wondering if maybe both of us just allow our friends to help. And hold each other accountable... that maybe I could keep myself out of an institution. I just need to figure out how to do what Hyunn said about the medical people..." It hurt to be talking about all of this out loud. In front of Yubin he would admit he had a problem but never actually got this far into planning how to help himself.

 

[EclipseRosee]

"I mean I like living with them! But it's just hard trying to save, pay for three households... so you would really do that for him? Help him get a job?" Rosee swallowed hard and looked down at Hoya as he knelt in front of her. Why did it even bother him so much? It wasn't that big of a deal. It was just money and as long as she was able to survive and save a little for once the girl group died out, it would be okay! 


"I just... I want to be there for him. Like people have been there for me. He had a job he loved and it was me that convinced him to move here. So I didn't want to be rude about his new ones not really working out."

 

[Colt Voltage]

"I'll give him some bullshit meaningless assistant job and pay him well. How could he say no to doing next to nothing for 20 bucks an hour? And no tattoos are required!" Hoya shone a small smile up at Rosee. It was more than money. At this point Hoya was trying to make it clear to Rosee that Jung was using her. Money, connections, who knew and who cared? Using Rosee was out of the question. She'd only realize it if she was face first with facts though, so this would help clear things up. "And I promise I won't interfere until you ask me to. I mean, if you ask me to. He shone her a small smile as he stood up.


"Busan isn't a long drive from where you're staying, and I can have a car drive him around so transportation isn't an issue. I think my father owned a couple apartment complexes too, so if he needs a new place to stay I'll make sure he doesn't pay too much for rent." Hoya was going through a lot to prove this point but it would be worth it....Hopefully. In all due time.


"What do you think? Think he'll accept the job?"

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

When Minho knelt in front of her she could hardly look at him. Big tears welled in her eyes and she was managing pretty well to keep them at bay, but as soon as he handed her the coupon the tears ran down her cheeks. Free fuck up. Choi needed a million of those to fix her relationships. Before she knew it he was practically lifting her to her feet. Had she really lost that much weight? It felt like she hadn't lost any. She still needed to lose a couple more poundsd to fit into the dresses her manager wanted her to wear...


"I haven't been happy, but I'm healthy." Denial had been her best friend lately. She wasn't happy by any means, but she was pretty convinced she was healthy. A snack every few days was how she was living life lately, and she hadn't dropped yet. "I'll help you sober up. We can help each other....me being around G and those other guys probably isn't the best idea. Not that they really care about me anyways." Choi had hoped that if she filled her life with guys then they would somehow replace the void Minho left when he left. Unfortunately it just made her feel incredibly guilty about her poor life decisions. 


She smiled down at the coupon in her hands. Suddenly all of her anger had dissipated into air and all she could do was smile. He didn't hate her after all. Before she knew it her thin hands were cupping his face, her heart beating happily. It had felt like a lifetime since she was able to be near him. "I missed you so much." God how it felt good to have him in front of her again. A piece of her just wanted to kiss him over and over again but neither of them were in a good place, why do that to the poor guy? He had to focus on sobering up, not focusing on her. Her hands fell from his face and wrapped around him weakly, her forehead resting comfortably on his chest. "I'm leaving the record label. I don't need success if it's through them. I have modeling to fall back on...I'm tired. I need a break...I don't even want to go back." Plus, let's be honest, everyone in the group hated Choi. Everyone save for Rosee. The label wanted her to be unhappy and miserable just to make some more money...how fucked was that?


"I know I'm not a medical expert like my brother, but I can stick around for a while to help. Or you can stay with me. It doesn't matter, anything I can do to help you."

Yuri stood in the doorway with wide eyes as Lee spoke to her, batting her long lashes a couple times as she listened to the words coming from his mouth. "Jin knows about everything in my life, I don't think he needs to leave." She tucked a couple strands of hair behind her ear as she tried to process what was happening. There was so much yelling, so much confusion. She did however hear the one word she never thought she'd hear in her life. Brother. "I'm sorry, what?" She took a step further behind Jin. Her mom only had one kid! ...right? She looked over Lee thoroughly and practically pouted. There were a couple characteristics they shared. The same brown almond eyes, the same dark hair, the button nose, the pouty lips. He was almost as feminine as she was! "My mom is dead, and my dad and I don't really talk. As far as I know though he is my dad..." It would be somewhat of a relief if he wasn't though. The man was mean more often then not. 


Her hands fussed with the edge of the dress, her sparkling brown eyes looking down at her pumps. "So you were dating Yubin to get to me? Is that what happened?" She was slowly catching on and she didn't approve. "I don't think I would want someone like that as a brother." Yuri wasn't much better, look what she did to Jin. Hell, look what she was doing to Jin! Leave him, let him get engaged, come back and ruin the engagement. Yeah, Yuri was a GREAT role model. 


"Blood test. I want a blood test. I'll take one with you and your dad. But only then will I believe you." Great, now she had mob siblings coming out of the woodwork. What was next? "You'll apologize to Yubin again too if you ever want me to consider calling you my brother." Her hand gently brushed against Jin's, her cheeks lighting up a pretty scarlet red. "Would you mind coming with? I get it if you don't. I'll have Hoya come with, I just..." she needed him. She didn't want Jin to go away. It was Yuri who left sure, but still! She didn't want to be without him anymore. If he took her back that is, but from the sounds of it her chances were pretty good.

"Yubin's a great girl, it's just..." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I needed a way to get close to Yuri to address this with her. And Yubin was using me to try to move on from Hyuun, so I didn't feel too bad doing what I did. I know that's awful, but still. But I mean, my twin." He gave a small, apologetic smile to Lee. He had a reason to be wary of anyone who was related to Yuri. They'd all be mobsters, and who would want the love of their life alone with a mob member they knew nothing about? "Blood test? Is that all?" A bright smile lit up Lee's face. This was really happening wasn't it? 


Lee's arms flew around Yuri and squeezed her tightly. He couldn't help himself. "I've been missing something all my life and I finally found her! Have all the blood tests you want my sweet sweet Yuri!" He realized what he was doing so he quickly released her, clearing his throat loudly. "Right. Bring whoever you want with you. I'll have my father join us, then." His hand began to pet her hair with a small chuckle. "You're so short. Mom must have been short too, huh?" He looked from Yuri to Jin and then back to Yuri. "I'm sorry, was I interrupting something between you guys? Reconciling feelings? Sparking old flames?" Lee chuckled quietly and tossed an arm around Yuri's shoulder, hugging her to him. "Careful with this one Jin, she's got the whole Seven Stars crew behind her now." Lee was over the moon at this point. 


Now he just had to figure out a way to apologize to Yubin.

Hyuun made it a good ways from the apartment when he felt someone hanging on to his arm. He was fuming, so when he spun to go off on whoever was touching him he froze when it was Yubin. Didn't he just leave her place? Did she chase him or something? 


He listened to her and let out a long sigh. He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly before speaking up. "I didn't think I had to say anything. I was head over heels for you, Yubin. But I wasn't going to suck you into a relationship when I knew I would have to leave in a few short months. You didn't deserve that, you didn't deserve someone leaving you." Hey, at least he wasn't leaving her for Yuri though, right? 


Light brown eyes looked towards the crowd and forced Hyuun to scoff. He was never a big fan of paparazzi. Or fans. Or the tabloids, or the press. Or managers. He honestly just enjoyed rapping and writing music. "Go back to your apartment, Yubin. There's nothing for you out here." He shone her a small apologetic smile. He loved her, he truly did. "I love you and I always will. But you deserve someone here, not someone who's new life is in a whole other country who spends 20 hours out of his day in school or work. That's not fair to you." 


Hyuun's eyes were watering at this point. "I have to go. I'll see you guys tomorrow." He was here for Minho to help him. He had Choi right now, so he'd be fine...at least until tomorrow. Hyuun needed some breathing room.

"I deserve to settle then. Alright... Remember that the next time you disapprove of who I date. Because I'm here. And I don't care how far away you are. And I am in love with you too." Yubin swallowed and looked away from him, her eyes steadily flowing with tears at this point. She turned her back to him and let out a long heavy sigh, trying to calm her shaking body down but she couldn't.  It was starting again, Yubin could feel it in her gut and as much as she wanted to stand outside and yell at him some more, he was right. Inside her apartment was the best option at this point. "Fuck yourselves!" Yubin yelled at the crowd, holding out her middle finger as she quickly moved back inside and past the doorman.


Ever since Yubin was little she had anxiety attacks. They weren't common and they weren't something she was used to, but when they came, they came full force. She had one during her time in Haenghada but that was all. However, the summer after graduation was brutal. It required a lot of nights of Minho trying his best to calm her down as she sobbed in the middle of their living room floor. Or him calling an ambulance when it got so bad she couldn't breathe. And it was starting again... she had gotten decent at coping with them but with everything that just happened? Yubin couldn't make it stop.


The stairs were hell but the elevator seemed worse. The closed space? Hell no, she would suffocate walking up the stairwell instead. By the time she made it to her apartment her eyes were bloodshot from the crying and her breath was coming in shakes. "Move. I am so tired of all of these boys that think they're being fucking knights and saving us from harm byt being total douchebags." She growled, pushing Lee away from her open doorway as she walked inside, moving into her bedroom without a single word to the others and slamming the door before falling into her bed and letting her tears soak into her black pillows.

JIn was resisting the urge to punch the lights out of Lee, he was lucky that Hyunn wasn't here and that Jin had a little better control over his emotions. "Listen, I get this whole intimidating mobster thing. But if you touch her one more time without her permission I will beat you until you run crying to your father and happily accept whatever punishment comes for me." He reached out and grabbed Lee's arm, removing it from around Yuri's shoulder. "That goes for any of the girls. You touch Choi, Yubin or Rosee." Yuri mostly, but it stood for the others too. Jin hated this guy. Im the matter of a few hours it had gone from him not really sure of Lee to him literally wanting him to fall off a bridge into the Atlantic ocean. "You might be her brother, might. But for now you're just some stranger. We can't even judge you by your time with Yubin because that was all a lie anyways. So for now, I'm going to treat you as such. And if a stranger randomly grabs someone you care about, what would you do?"


His eyes looked over Lee in a glare. Everyone knew that Jin hated confrontation but he couldn't help himself. This guy was worse than G was. G was an idiot, but he was a harmless idiot. This guy was actually dangerous. 


"Of course I will." Jin's face softened a lot as he smiled down at Yuri, his hand moving to give her shoulder a gentle squeeze in reassurance. "We'll bring Hoya too. Just in case. When do you want to do this, do you like need an appointment or anything like that?"


By them Yubin came in through the open door and pushed Lee out of her way, causing Jin to smirk slightly. Until she made the comment that she did, and he saw her face. What in the hell happened to her all of a sudden...

 

[EclipseRosee]

"I- Yeah! I'll make him! I mean he would anyways I'm sure but still!" Rosee couldn't help herself from leaning forward and tossing her arms around Hoya, giving him a tight squeeze. It was so sweet that he was willing to do this for Jung. Rosee was pretty sure that it was more for her than anything but still, sweet either way. Well, besides the comment about until she asked him to. "I just really hope the two of you can get along. It would really make you happy if you could." 


Rosee finally let him go and pulled back, giving him a beaming smile. "Should I call him now? Let him know. Or do you just want his number?" She was overly excited about the whole thing. Jung getting a job that he enjoyed would really take a lot of weight off her back. It would be just a lot less to worry about. All she really wanted was for everyone involved to be happy.


"However I do have one question... Did you know Lee was Yuri's brother?"
