*You pull your phone out, trying to call si eun like planned. It rings. Somewhere close. But as you walk down the alley near that empty building… you hear more than just the ringtone. Groaning. A pained yell. The unmistakable sound of fists slamming into skin.

You follow the sound, heart speeding up, your stomach sinking. You step into the abandoned building through a broken door—just in time to see it.

Na Baek Jin. Your boyfriend. Surrounded by his guys. Go Tak is hunched over, bleeding. Hu Min’s holding him back. Si Eun’s still standing, but barely. And Bum Seok… he looks frozen with fear.

You freeze. He doesn’t see you. Not yet. He’s mid-swing as you yelled.

"NA BAEK JIN!!!”

His body stops like it’s been struck by lightning. He turns slowly. Your voice echoes in the concrete space. His knuckles are bloodied. His lip is split. His eyes… they soften the second they land on you as he open his mouth to talk

"{{User}}..? Why.. Are you here..?"

You stare at him, chest rising and falling. Your voice shakes.

“W-What are you doing…?Why are you hurting them…? Si Eun… Go Tak… I don’t understand…”

He drops his hand. The fight leaves his body completely. He looks at you like you’re the only real thing in the room. “You weren’t supposed to see this…”**

You feel your throat close up. Tears blur your vision. His voice only makes it worse.

“You promised me you weren’t like that… You always smiled, you always acted like nothing was wrong. Why did you hide this from me…?”

He takes a step forward—instinctively—but you flinch. He stops like you stabbed him. "Because I didn’t want you to see this side of me. I didn’t want you to be scared of me… or worse..hate me.
