Chapter I

Three years later

"We can't be doing this anymore Minho", I cry, "we can't put the reputation of our band at stake, for this", I turn to leave.

"I love you Cheon-sa! I loved you when we first met three years ago, and the love has grown ever since, plea-se-please don't le-leave me", Minho pleads.

We stand in an empty studio, these words radiating throughout cutting the silence filled room.

"You love me?" I question, "you were sleeping with Min-jun just last week" I blurt,

Shock fills his face,

"Right I was supposed to be completely unaware of that situation, as you're completely unaware of me sleeping with Joon-kook", I state, "you don't love me, as I don't love you, we just need each other to fill the holes in our hearts" tears fall from his eyes, as I say such harsh words to him, "as I said, we can't keep putting our band at risk, for such trivial reasons, it's unfair and unprofessional, from now on, yo-you are nothing but a band member to me". I turn and leave, I hear his knees hit the ground behind me,

"Che-cheon-sa, pl-please don't leave, I-I-I Lo-love you, I really do", Minho begs.

His words cut me as I close the door, leaving him to himself, I feel like falling to the ground and crying, but out of fear of him following I continue walking away.

I leave the building, tears falling down my face, the night air brushes against my skin, it is cold but refreshing. Joon-kook stands waiting outside the building, as I see him, my legs give out and I begin to fall, he runs besides me, catching me in his arms.

"Kookie", I cry, "I did it Kookie, I gave him up so our band can be ok", he holds me tight as I continue to cry.

"Cheon-sa", he says softly, "You're going to be ok", concern fills his voice,

"Cheon-sa! Cheon-sa! Where did you go? Cheon-sa", the faint yell of Minho resonates through the company doors, we look back to see Minho frantically looking around, his eyes widen as they fall on us. I look away as he begins to walk toward us,

"It's ok to hurt him temporarily if in the end its better for him", Joon-kook whispers, I look at Joon-kook pleading for his help, unexpectedly he pulls me in and kisses me, I fall into his kiss as I have done many times before. As I open my eyes, I see Minho stopped, his feet seem stuck to the ground, he is unable to move. I turn from him and walk away hand in hand with Joon-kook. To many rumours have been said about me and Minho since we started working together as trainees, even in the first year the tabloids produced many rumours about the two of us, we tried to stay apart for that reason but was unable to, but this time, this time it's too difficult to continue. 'This is the best thing for all of us' I think to myself 'we need to protect our members, we can't continue hurting them for our selfish reasons' as I'm stuck in thought, I didn't realise how long Joon-kook and I had been walking together, as I snap back to reality, I come to face the front door of our groups house. I hesitate for a moment before I open the door, with a heavy heart I walk in and head up to my room, I don't listen to the members as they try to speak to me, I continue to walk to my room with a blank expression.

"He was like this the whole way here", Joon-kook says, "I think they are both really hurting from this",

"they will get over it", Yong-ho states.

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling unable to sleep, I can hear the members talking away in the lounge room, every time I hear a door, I listen out to hear if its Minho, he still hasn't returned.

"Should we be worried about Minho? He still hasn't returned", Min-jun asks.

"I'm sure he is fine", Yong-ho states "probably just out letting off some steam".

The night continues, the sounds of their voices lessen as they all slowly head to bed, I continue to stare at the roof as the night goes on, trying to hear when Minho comes back, without realising I slowly fall asleep as the morning draws closer. The bright rays of the sun come crashing through my window as I forgot to close my curtains the night before, waking me from my peaceful dream.

"Yong-ho! He hasn't returned yet. What do we do?", I hear Joon-kooks voice faintly,

"I am not sure what to do, but we can't let Cheon-sa know he hasn't returned",

"What if something bad has happened to him?",

I slowly fall back to sleep, not remembering what I had just heard. After a few hours of restless sleep, I finally wake up, I stumble down the stairs into the kitchen for a glass of water. When looking around to find what the members are doing, I have trouble finding anyone, curiosity fills my brain as I decide to look around for them. I find them sitting in the meeting room of our house, it's a smaller room in the house, containing a large table, chairs for all the members, and a screen to show our works on. A soon as I open the door, their eyes dart at me as they jump to their feet.

"Whoa, what's with the atmosphere in here",

"Cheon-sa, why are you awake?"

"Cheon-sa, you should go back to sleep", they all begin telling me to go to sleep, or questioning my presence here,

"What the hell is going on?", I question, "Has Minho returned yet? I didn't hear him return before I unwillingly fell asleep",

"He has not, he is... "

"Shut up Min-Jun", Seo-yeon sneers,

"He needs to know what happened", Min-Jun growls, "We can't just keep it from him",

"What the hell happened", I snap, "Forget it, I will go out and find him", I frantically run up to my room, to change into suitable clothing to go out into public, as I come down the stairs, I am met at the front door by all the members.

"You can't leave" Yong-ho states,

"Why the hell not? Minho is missing",

They all quickly grab me and drag me into a room close by, slamming the door behind them. I hear the lock of the door click, as I begin to realise what they have done 'THEY LOCKED ME IN THE RECORDING STUDIO' 'IM GOING TO KILL THEM ALL' I scream to myself,

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" I yell, frantically banging on the door, "LET ME OUT OF HERE, WHAT HAPPENED TO MINHO? I NEED TO FIND HIM", after a few minutes with no response, I fall to the ground crying,

"We know where he is, but you can't go to him right now", I hear Min-juns voice over the intercom,

"This is best for the both of you" Yong-ho says, "Minho's going to Japan for some schedules for the time being, he informed us this morning that he was already in Japan",

"He's going to be there shooting some schedules, and part of that tv show he auditioned for, he won't be back for some time", Seo-yeon states.

Tears fall down my cheeks as I replay what they say in my mind, he probably thinks I hate him, I mean he left for Japan without saying a word to me. Their words continue to play in my mind over and over again. I sit in a corner of the room, tears continue to fall down my face as silence fills the atmosphere, I can hear the faint voices of the members through the door as they try to figure out what to do.

Three years earlier.

"Minho", I yell across the room,

"Cheon-sa", he yells back laughing.

While closing the space between us, as I run to him, I can feel the tension rise between us,

"Do you really think we can work together professionally?", I question quietly as our newly formed members walk past.

"Why not?", he asks, giving me a questionable expression. While taking a small step towards me. I slowly take a step backwards, trying to keep a good amount of distance between us,

"I mean we…. we just… you.know? In the stairway not too long ago, and without any warning we are now working together" I question, "aren't you worried about it affecting our ability to work together?", he takes a few more steps towards me, slowly backing me up against a wall, his arm rests against the wall at the side of my head,

"Well not really", he whispers, "do you really think you have that much of a hold on people?" He questions, my expression falls as I realise, I meant nothing to him, I was more than likely another one-night stand for him. I quickly push him aside,

"you're right, what the hell was I thinking", I state as I quickly make my way out of the room, we were left behind in.

We were instructed to return to our dorms and settle in after the meetings, I walk slowly towards the dorm housing, my earbuds resting in my ear as the breeze slowly bounces through my hair, I can smell the sweetness of the approaching rain in the air, I find myself detouring from my set path coming to a stop in front of a park. It felt familiar, but I don't remember going there before, I find my self sitting on a swing watching as the sky darkens, small drops of water start falling from the sky. I find myself thinking about my upbringing, the one event that brought me to wanting to become a singer. I fall into a daze while thinking about these memories, I don't realise as the small droplets turn into a pour.

"Cheon-sa, Cheon-sa, where are you?",

"Seriously Cheon-sa, where the hell are you?",

The voices calling out my name bring me out of my daze, I slowly lift to his eyes looking straight into mine, his hands placed on my shoulders, "What the hell Cheon-sa, we have been looking all over for you", Minho stands in front of me panic and worry all over his face. I look behind him, all the new members stand behind him, unfortunately their faces are filled with annoyance and anger, not worry like Minho's.

"Why couldn't you answer your phone? What the hell is wrong with you?", Yong-ho states, the annoyance in his voice cuts through the air sharply,

"Huh? Oh, um sorry, I was just listening to music while in a daze", I state shyly, "I didn't mean to worry anyone".

"Hmph, we weren't worried, we were all forced to come look for you", Seo-yeon states.

"That's not true, of course we were worried, he is a member of our group after all", Joon-kook states, a warm smile spread across his eyes, "but why does it look like you have been crying?".

I can see Minho's ears move to hearing him ask me if I've cried, his face turning sharply to face me, without realising he had moved inches away from my face, my heart begins to race, 'not again' I think to myself.

"Why were you crying?", Minho questions,

"Wait you were actually crying?", Seo-yeon questions, moving closer to me.

I quickly stand up from the swing and begin to walk away,

"I wasn't crying, ok, just don't worry about me, got it", I state slyly.

They stand dumbfounded as I head away from them.

It's not long before I find myself in front of the dorm housing, I can hear the members following behind, I quickly enter the large building, I haven't actually been here yet so I'm excited to finally see my new home. The building lobby is large with white marbled floors and pillars, the elevators shine behind the front desk. I remember that we were instructed to show our contracts to the staff at the desk in order to receive our access cards. A young woman stands at the desk, her hair falls to her waist and her eyes shine in the light, as I walk up to her, her expression extends from a small frown to a fake smile,

"Uh, hi", I wave, "I was just hoping to get my access card, I'm a new trainee", the words come out really softly as my nerves take over, I slowly hand my contract over to her.

"Yea ok", she replies rather coldly, after typing on the computer for a few seconds, she looks at me, "your card was already picked up, seems a Minho grabbed it".

"Huh, why?", I say softly to myself, "Ok thank you, enjoy your night", I turn around to wait for those who slowly followed me.

"I would like my card please Minho", I yell as they enter the doors.

Minho comes running towards me, a smile spreading wide across his face, I stand there glaring at him, the other members follow behind him an uncanny look of disdain plastered on theirs. I turn in embarrassment as I know they are not happy with me, 'I guess they were looking around for me in the rain, but I didn't ask them too', I think to myself as I try to muster up the courage to turn and look at them.

"Cheon-sa… why aren't you looking at us?", Minho asks gently.

"Huh… uh, no reason", "Why'd you come looking for me anyway?"

"Well, I tried calling you more than like 10 times, but you didn't answer…"

"Ok but didn't you think that maybe I wanted to be left alone", I snap.

"Huh?", Minho gazes into my eye's confusion written all over his face.

"Never mind, I'm guessing something was important for you to try contacting me so much?"

"Huh… oh yeah, I was going to have a meeting with all of you, also was curious as to how you were all settling in", Minho states, "we will go up first, we have some things to discuss first".

Minho grabs at my hand and starts pulling me as he waves for the others to follow. We all gather into one of the small elevators, as each of us pile in one after the other the room in the elevator lessens immensely. I get pushed up against the wall, Minho following shortly after, his body presses up against mine, his face falls inches near mine as he places his arms around me towards the wall. His body slowly pushes back and forth against mine as the elevator slowly moves up the building, I can feel a pounding in my heart but also in between my legs, I blush and turn around to hide my embarrassment and my slowly hardening cock. The elevator comes to an abrupt stop, he falls into my back as the lights turn off, his body presses up against mine, its not long before I feel him hardened behind me, he slowly places his arms around my torso, pulling himself even closer to me. I let out a sudden gasp in surprise as he moves his hand underneath my waistband, he takes my cock in his hands and slowly starts stroking in, while placing his lips on my neck. He continues stroking as he starts rubbing his throbbing cock against my ass, a small moan escapes my lips as he begins to stroke me faster, the thrill of being caught by the others turns me on even more, bite onto my arm to stifle any moans that may escape me again. It's not long before I feel the warmth of my climax fills my underwear, he pulls his hands out my pants and turns me around, he presses his lips up against mine as he pulls away, he licks my semen from his hands and the lights begin to flicker. I can see him smiling between the flickering lights, as the elevator begins to move again, he begins to act as if nothing happened. I follow suit, as I don't want to get either of us into trouble.

It doesn't take long for us to reach our floor, although I was surprised to find it to be the second floor from the top of the building.

"The bags you placed in their foyer earlier have all been placed in your assigned rooms, which can be found on your cards, as well as the contracts and any email sent to you", Minho starts to explain all the necessary information, "We will begin training in a few days, giving you all enough time to settle in and get comfortable, however, once training starts we will more then likely spend most of our time outside, if you wish to start training earlier you are allowed to do so, just be careful cuz you will get exhausted once we officially start", he continues speaking as we follow him to the end of the hall into a large room. He sits down onto one of the lounges, "Make yourself at home", he instructs as he points around. The room is filled with multiple lounges, a dining set and a fully functional kitchen, provided with many different kinds of foods.

"You can help yourself to anything in this room, or any room on this floor, this floor includes, a gym, dance studio, recording studio and more, all provided specifically for us", he explains, a sweet voice passes quietly through the air,

"Why are we being provided with so much?", Min-Jun asks, "from what I know most trainees get basic accommodation, are giving rooms to share, and must go to the company to do any type of practice?",

"Yeah? I mean that's what I have heard as well", Joon-kook questions, "what's going on?",

Confusion spreads quickly throughout the group, Minho lets out a conical laugh,

"Hahaha, I'm so sorry, but this is too funny", he looks at us sheepishly, "Of course most trainers don't get treated this way, it takes up a lot of money, but the company has huge expectations for us, and my parents well uhhh, they kind of own the company". Confusion turns to shock as realisation sets in, 'he is the companies' owners' son, I slept with the companies' owner's son, OMFG what the hell am I going to do, I'm going to get kicked out, what the hell was he thinking', a small panic starts to encapsulate me.

"Sorry, I guess I should have told you guy's sooner? Right? My apologies", Minho say quietly avoiding eye sight.

"Well yeah, seems like something that should have been mentioned", Seo-yeon states frustratedly.

"It's definitely something we should have been informed about before we signed contracts to work with you",Yong-ho barks, "some might not have signed to work with the son of the owners, as not only different expectations will be set but also different treatments, such as well this", he points around to the living spaces, "of course I can get used to this but still, it seems a little unfair."

Minho bows his head looking away, you can see the sadness cross his face, as though he has experienced a similar situation. "Yes, I know, all too well… its why I wanted to keep it secret for a bit, but your right I should have told you sooner", he stands up and bows to everyone, an apologetic expression crossing his face, although it's filled with sadness. "I'm very sorry, everyone".

Everybody begins sharing looks at each other,

"No need to look so upset, it's ok, it just would've been nice to know so we didn't get surprised at all, haha", Min-jun states apologetically,

"Yeah, we were just surprised that's all, of course we would've signed the contract either way", Seo-yeon states.

One by one they all said their dues, deciding to in a round about way apologise to Minho, all looking towards me, I choke, "Huh? Oh… I got signed that's all that matters to me", I chuckle. A wide smile appears on Minho's faces as he burst into laughter.

"Alright, I get it, all you care about is being signed. I'll show you lot to your rooms now, please let me know if anything isn't to your liking", he bounces off down the hall, gesturing us to follow him.

After showing the members to their rooms he finally walks up to mine. Mine happens to be away from everyone on the other side of the floor, he slowly opens the door, the room is large filled with a queen size bed, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite bathroom, they even set up a desk and computer that's installed with music and video software, the walls a lined in a slick white paint, with a patterned feature wall, and polish black floors, as I'm standing around admiring the room, I hear a small chuckle as I get pushed into the room.

"Huh?", I stutter, "Why'd you push me in?", I turn around questioning him, as he closes the door locking it behind him,

"Obviously this door locks automatically, and can only be open with the keycard, but have to be careful you see", an evil grin spreads across his face,

"What? What are you doing?", he slowly closes the space between us, the air thickening between us.

"I'm going to kiss you Cheon-sa, and then we are going to talk, because I don't think I can keep our relationship professional, especially since we are living in the same place", He cups my face softly as he brushes hair away from my face, he pulls me in and places a gentle kiss on my lips.

"You make me crazy Cheon-sa", he whispers, "I'm going to leave now, otherwise I won't be able to stop myself", he quickly leaves my room, I swiftly follow after, he closes the door to the room next to him without looking back towards me. I close the door and slump into my bed, 'this boy, he is going to be my undoing'. I drift off into a deep sleep with him on my mind.
