ERRORS AHEAD.

------

It was the same cold night when I decided to go to Hangang. I ran away after hearing what Sehun said because I didn't know how to react or what should I at least say. The fresh air made it relaxing, the sky full of stars made it perfect. I missed going here just to kill time and think things over.

I missed my trainee days when I could go anywhere without thinking abiut what would others think and say.

I went back to reality when my phone rang. It was Taehyung, "Yoboseyo?"

[I just remembered that the Star Ball will be next week, since Tao Hyung's not yet here, can you be my date?]

I bit my lip. Yeah, I almost forgot about the Star Ball. "Yeah, sure."

[Let's go to the designer tomorrow morning for my suit and for your gown.]

"Alright,"

[Should I pick you up?]

"Of course, you should. You asked me out. Are you gonna pay for my gown, too?" I kidded.

[Ya~ Isn't that too much?]

"No, it's not! You're rich, you can pay for my gown."

[Says by the one who's richer than me,]

"You're my sunbae, that means you're paid higher." I said. I stared at the river, "It's getting late, see you tomorrow."

[Ne.] That was the last thing I heard before the dial tone.

The river looked peaceful, just like my old life. It was better silent than being watched by everyone. You don't know what to do. Everything will depend on them. Before making a decision, you'll ask yourself first.

Will they like it?

Will it make them feel better?

Will it be fine after?

Will there be any consequence?

And the next thing you'll know, it's not your life anymore. It's theirs.

There's no more I don't like it but only they don't like it.

And when you're in love, there's no more you but only him.

You don't care if you're hurting because what's important is he's fine and he's happy.

You don't care if there's nothing left to you as long as he has everything.

How did I know? Because that's what I do.

I stood up and wore my hood. I still have a gown fitting tomorrow. I started walking towards the bus station, I'll be riding the bus tonight.

No one will notice me anyway.

It's a bit cold tonight, huh?

I think there's something wrong with me because I didn't get enough sleep. I tried my best but really, my eyes just can't. I don't know if it's ny heart who can't shut up or my mind who can't stop thinking of how things are going.

I've been trying to avoid thinking about what Sehun said.

Is it true?

Did Tao lie to me?

Should I believe Sehun or should I confront Tao?

But I don't want to argue with him. I- I don't want to make him mad. What if Sehun's right? But what if he's lying too?
