Suyeon looked like she was about to cry. That pleased me.

"I'll resign"
She said, defeatedly.

"Guess your coming along with me"
I laughed.

"I'll give you two days. Get the courage,  break up with him and leave with your things"
The manager ran his fingers through his hair.

"As for you, get your things and leave right now"
He faced me and pointed to the door.

I nodded my head and walked past Suyeon, leaving his office.

My job here is done. Although I can't get Jay, at least no one else will.

Suyeon's pov

I went straight to the editing and packed up my things along with Hyorin. It was so messy.

I decided to leave today. 

I'm not going to tell anyone. I won't tell Jay. I won't tell him anything.

 I will never muster up enough courage to break up with him even if you gave me centuries to do so.

I left the company with a box of all my items. I walked to the bus stop while warm tears trickled down my face.

I think my world is shattered.

What am I gonna do?

Where else would I work?

How did Hyorin get those photos?

What's going to happen to Jay?

I'm letting go of him, just like that?

This can't be.

We've gone through so much. 

I love him too much.

God, I love him so much.

But letting go is the right thing to do.

If his success is what he achieves through my absence, I should leave him, right?

That'll show my love.

I never got a chance to say 'I love you' back to him yet.

Is that something good?

So I can leave him quietly?

I'll watch my star shine from afar.

I'll watch you shine together with your other 6 stars.

It's in your name.

Park Jong Seong.

'Collecting Stars'.

I'll watch you collect galaxies' worth of stars.

Shine bright without me.

Shine bright, Park Jong Seong.

Jay's pov

As usual, I went to Suyeon's office so I could send her back home.

But she wasn't there. The office was empty.

Maybe she left early.

I texted her to ask if she's already on the way home, but I realised that my message wasn't delivered.

I had to keep retrying but it wouldn't send.

That's so strange. Maybe I'll ask the members. 

They usually went back together first as they knew I was always with Suyeon, but I ran outside so I could walk back with them together.

"Hey! Wait up!"
I ran towards them as they turned behind to see who shouted.

"O? Hyung? I thought you're sending Suyeon home"
Jungwon raised his eyebrows.

"I think she went home first. By the way, I can't send this message, can you take a look at it?"
I asked them and the members took it.

"I think she blocked you. I usually can't send messages when someone blocks me"
Heeseung said.

"That can't be. Why would she block me?"
I took back my phone, confused.

"She's probably tired of your 'sweetie' messages. Just give her some time"
Sunoo said, laughing.

"As if. But I'll give her some space first"
I said.

"Okay, let's go homee"
Niki said.

"Let's eat samgyeopsal tonight? I'll cook"
I suggested, walking together with the members.

"Let's gauurr!"
-Jake

"Nice!"
-Sunghoon

"Thanks hyung!"
-Jungwon

It felt good walking home together with them after a long time.
