SEULMI’S POV

It was almost 3 at night when I woke up because of my cell contantly ringing for the 3rd time. I wondered who it was since it was from some unknown number. I felt a bit fearful since it was late at night. Nonetheless I picked it up while hesitating.
“Yoboseyo?” I said.
“Seulmi?” A voice replied.
“W-who is that?? And is this a time to call?” I stuttered but posed to be angry.
“Huh!! You cant even recognize this voice!!! I think you don’t listen to our songs.” Himchan replied.
“Why did you call from another number?” I recognized him.
“Its my real contact number.”
“Why did you call?” I asked.
“You’re being rude. If I give a call to my fans they are just so excited and you said you love me. What kind of love is this where you are not excited but are continuously enquiring.”
“I am sorry.” I replied.
“Are you weeping?” he asked.
“No… even if I do, would it make you worried?” I asked.
“Aniiiyo……..” He teased.
“OK Good ni-“
“Wait!!! I want to talk with you.” He said. It made me confused over what he wants from me. “Seulmi… you didn’t notice I called you by your name.”
I really didn’t notice until he mentioned. I was really startled. “I did as you asked.” I said without any delay.
“Haaaaaa??????? What?” He was indeed shocked.
“Why are you so shocked?” I asked rudely.
“B-but…. You’re 17. You cant do that!!!!”
“Wait!!!!
.
.
.
so was Shinha right?? You really want to get rid of me???? You should have been happy about it if you were taking me seriously!!! Right???” I asked and my eyes really became teary.
“No Seulmi, you’re really my ideal, bold and arrogant. I was just shocked that you really did it. Will you show me your tattoo 3 days later?” He said.
“Why 3 days later?” I asked.
“We are working on our music video that’s why.” He told me.

N’S POV

“Hakyeon??????” My umma was surprised to see me at home with all the VIXX members. “please come in.” She said.
“Ahjumma, we insisted N-hyung to visit you guys.” Hyuk said and I glared at him.
The other sat down on the couch.
“I must prepare something for you guys.” Umma said.
“I’ll accompany you.” Leo stood up.
“Oh its alright. I’ll do it on my own.” Umma replied.
“Let me do it omoni.” Leo insisted.
“Yahhh!!!! She’s my omoni!!!” I glared at Leo. He didn’t reply as usual. “I am going to Seulmi. She is always excited to meet you, Ken.” i smiled at Ken.
“Hahah… call her out then. We’ll make her day.” Ken replied while smiling and I noticed Ravi’s glare at Ken.
I went upstairs ignoring all these stupid guys.
“Seulmi??? Oppa’s here… open the door.” I knocked at her door. It was 2pm so she should be awake.
She opened the door just so that I could see her face and it seemed she was really sleeping.
“You skipped school???” I asked.
She just glared at me. “it was off.” She again closed the door.
“Seulmi…. Whats this open it up!!!! Ken and all are here to say hi to you.”
“I don’t want to see anybody.” She slightly opened the door but before she could close it I held the corner of the door firmly and tried to open it. She resisted with full force.
“Watcha hiding ???” I asked while forcing her to open the door. I saw some poster over her room’s wall. “is it Ken?” I asked.
“Ah just go away.” She said.
“Seulmi?” Ken appeared from behind me.
This time she really closed the door.
“Damn I think she likes you.” I mumbled.
“Ahaha… its not like that N hyung. don’t worry.” Ken said and knocked at the door. “ Seulmi… we all came here to meet you.” He said that politely and winked at me. I hit him at the back. After 5 minutes seconds, she came out and locked her room.
“Yeah… our Seulmi is out now.” Ken cheered her up.
I hugged Seulmi and she hugged back. “Lets go downstairs. Your Leo oppa will be making something.” I laughed and highfived with Ken.
We came downstairs.

RAVI’S POV

Hongbin, Hyuk and I were waiting for them to come.
“O here they come.” Hyuk said and I looked into their direction. Seulmi seemed so sad and wasn’t excited to see Ken hyung. I also always thought that she liked Ken hyung but today was different. Plus she was looking messy. She didn’t even change her nighties. For some reason I always had this strange feeling when she was around. I would just become so confused, unable to respond or cheer her up although I wanted so badly to support her.
“Our cute dongsaeng is here.” Hongbin said as he and Hyuk made a space over the couch for her to sit.
“I am gonna sit with her.” Ken hyung pouted and grabbed her hand and she sat with him. N hyung sat on the other side.
“So what our donsaeng wants today?” Ken hyung asked and Hyuk giggled.
Meanwhile Leo hyung and ahjumma came out of kitchen with some tasty stew and other side dishes.
“Look even Leo is worried.” N hyung pointed out and Leo hyung glared at him and then their non-stop cat mouse game started.
“We came here for Seulmi not to hear you guys nag over each other !” Hyuk said bluntly.
“I am glad you all care so much.” Ahjumma said with watery eyes. I stood up and went to her. “Don’t worry and come sit with us.” I offered and she sat with us.
We talked about random things making Seulmi feel at ease but she was constantly looking at each of us in worried manner.
“Seulmi… go and change, we’ll go out.” N hyung said and she left to her room.
After 15 minutes, she arrived. She was dressed casually in shirt and jeans but also wore a muffler scarf around her neck.
“Wae??? Take that off. It looks awkward!” N hyung pointed out the muffler.
“Let her wear it. it looks good Seulmi, no need to worry." Ken hyung complimented.

We all went out in our car and stopped at a large mall.
“Lets take selfies.” Hyuk was already excited. Seulmi stood at a distance.
“You guys take them.” She said.
“Ok… lets take some.” N hyung said.
“No… we are here for Seulmi.” Ken hyung said.
“Awww Ken hyung’s really taking it seriously. Right?” Hongbin said that to me.
“You are right.” I replied.
“I’ve noticed that you aren’t yourself today. You seem so quiet. Even Leo hyung is participating but you’re just watching us. What’s the matter?” He said. I just looked at him.
“I am not good at this. I cant cheer people up.” i replied.
“Hahaha… wait… you’re blushing.” Hongbin noticed something that even I didn’t know.
“Stop it. Lower your voice or this N-omma will shout at me.” I said.
“Ok... ok…” He said and we followed the others.
Our good friends from BtoB were there too. N hyung and the others went to them. I noticed that Seulmi was annoyed so I grabbed her wrist from behind and she turned around.
“Whats the matter oppa?” She asked.
“Lets go. They are going to talk for long, I tell ya.” I told her.
Hongbin smirked at me and we left all the others with BtoB.

“Ok now what you’ll like to do?” Hongbin asked her.
“Whatever you like.” She replied indifferently.
Hongbin looked at me questioningly. “We’ll do some shopping and then buy sweets later. Then we’ll meet up with Hyungs to decide what to do next.” I suggested and she smiled weakly.
“The Seulmi I know isn’t this gloomy.” I said to her but she didn’t reply. We went to the shop and she chose some expensive dress
“I want this, Oppa.” She pointed at a dress. Hongbin looked at the price tag and gulped.
“OK…” he said and went to the counter.
I was standing behind her. I wanted to just watch her from the back. She was so cute unlike her older brother N. But man, they have really long necks.
“Its hot here…” She whispered and took out the muffler. Her long hair swept away and I noticed something drawn over the nape of her neck. But before I could judge the thing her hair went back in place covering her back side.
She turned around and was shocked to see me behind. “Oppa…” She mumbled.
“Seulmi… uh….” I tried to ask her about it but failed. However, I was sure that it was a tattoo.
She again turned around to look at the other dresses. I followed her. I was still behind her. I didn’t know why Hongbin was taking so long. I mustered up my courage and swept away her hair and what I saw was really a tattoo and I read it.
“What are you doing!!!” She turned back and pushed my hand away. “What were you thinking????” She shouted.
“Calm down Seulmi.” I whispered.
Hongbin arrived. “ What were you guys doing? Is there something wrong?”
“Its nothing Hongbin” I replied and again looked the angry Seulmi.
“Do you have any explanation on what you did?” She asked me when we were heading back and Hongbin was ahead.
“I –I …….. You had something on your hair.” I lied and then she never talked to me further.
