"The explosion... I caused it."

Unconsciously, I stopped moving, the blood in my veins immediately freezing as I heard the words I had been most afraid of. Everyone had told me to stay away from NCT and its members, but I didn't listenen. Did I really fall in love with the guy who caused the death of my mother?

I was about to push him away when his grip got stronger, not ready to let me go without explaining the situation to me.

"You can yell at me", he started muffling into my hair, his arms still wrapped around me while I just stood there in disbelief.
"You can yell at me and punch me as much as you want, but please let me tell you what happened first.
If you don't want to see me after that, I will never see you again. I promise."

Despite every nerve in my body screaming at me to leave and just run away, my attention was all his.
I had dealt with not knowing the details of my mothers death for three years, now that I was able to get even the slightest bit of information, neither anger or sadness could prevent me from staying.

Although I decided to stay, knowing he had caused the explosion, I kept begging that everything was different than it seemed.

I didn't want it to end.
I didn't want him to vanish out of my life, never being able to talk to him again.
Only now did I realize that the thought of never seeing him again hurt so much, I felt like like I could lose my mind.

I had already had boyfriends in the past, but none of them had ever made me feel the way Lee Donghyuck did.
Our story was just at the beginning, but now everything should be over already?
I never realized how much I wanted to be with him until now, when he was just a step away from ruining my feelings for him.

"I'm not sure how much you know about that day", the older finally started talking, hiding his face in my white hair while I anxiously listened. "But a few people died that day.... Including my older brother..."

My eyes immediately widened as I heart those words leave his mouth, my breathing already stopping as I recalled the police reports at the time.
I remember the news saying that the chemestry teacher as well as the female students had died due to the fire, but they were not the only bodies they had found. Instead, there had been another body they couldn't identify with anyone.

My mouth fell slightly open, realizing that it must've been his brother who had died during the same event.

"You have to know that I wasn't with NCT from the beginning. To be honest, I even detested the entire gang with all my heart, because my brother Hyeonjun was part of it."
