After the dream last night. Well nightmare, I couldn't sleep at all so I ended up staring at the ceiling for hours. The ringing of my phone wasn't helping at all either. My phone had been ringing even before I awoken from my sleep. Constant calls from Chen stood out the most. For some reason, I was afraid to answer it. There were calls from EXO, Victioria, Kibum and many others.

It stopped around 3 in the morning and I took the chance to check it. About 60 missed calls, 40 voice mails and more than 100 texts. My eyes wide as I checked the texts first.

You okay?
-Luhan

Pick up your phone right now Mei Jung! You need to explain everything!
-Victoria

I'm so sorry
-Kibum

Why the hell is the tabloids saying that you and Jongdae broke up?! What the F is happening?!
-Baekhyun

The texts goes on asking what happened. Their words got harsher as it goes.

F Mei, Chen won't even let us in his room! WTF have you been doing?!
-Suho

Tell us what the F is wrong Mei. We need some reassurance here.
-Kris

It's only been a day. An EFFIN' DAY. I thought I could trust you.
-Baekhyun

My heart fell more as it goes, most were angry messages with an exception of a couple pleading texts from Lay,Tao, Sehun and Kai. Just then I stumbled through Chen's text.

Jagiyah, gwenchana?
-Jongdae~

I won't believe the tabloids, don't worry. I believe in you
-Jongdae~

I want to hear it from you. Please pick up.
- Jongdae

They're lying.. right? The management is lying.... right?
-Jongdae

My heart felt heavy as I found his texts one by one and each one was slowly turning desperate.

I love you. And you love me, right?
-Jongdae

Please tell me what everyone's saying is wrong. Please.
-Jongdae

Say something... please
- Jongdae

Have you... already given up?..
-Jongdae

Are you actually.... leaving me...?
-Jongdae

After looking through the texts. I moved to the voice mails with a heavy heart.

First one was from Baekhyun

"Mei! Why aren't you picking up your phone?! You need to tell us what the hell is happening. Why the hell is the management saying that you two broke up when we just saw you a day ago?! We tried to get some answers out of Chen but he only ignored us and went straight to his room, where he's been cooped up for hours! You said everything will be okay. You promised that Chen won't be hurting! I trusted you Mei. I should've known better"

With that he hung up. Guilt built up with his words as well as others. I couldn't blame him, he is Chen's best friend so acting up like that was acceptable. It was my fault anyway...

The other voice mails said the same things then I opened Chen's voice mail.

"Annyeong Mei, are you okay? did they hurt you? why haven't you been answering your phone? Everyone's worried... I'm so worried..." Silence passed as I hear his calm breathing "We're all over the internet right now saying that we...that we 'broke up' but it's not true right? I mean we never agreed on it... I'm confused though where would they get the idea of it? Are we really finished?" again he paused but now his breathing staggered "Is it the reason why you're not answering the phone? because it's true? or maybe.. you just didn't notice it. Yeah. I don't want to believe it... as long as it didn't come from your mouth, I won't believe a thing, okay? We've already been through a lot. It's Us against the world. Everything will end in place. We'll be together. I love you Mei-ah. Stay strong for us"

That was the end of his message and I felt like my heart is so heavy that I couldn't breathe. I'm so sorry Jongdae... I'm so sorry.

I cried until no more tears would come out.

I went down when Suyeong called for breakfast. I was eating when my uncle and Minjee entered all dressed up and ready for work.

"Good morning Mei" Uncle Kyung greeted coming closer to give me a kiss on the cheek but I moved away, not looking at either of them.

I hear him clear his throat before seating on his usual chair with Minjee beside him. We ate in silence and I was the first to break it.

"Uncle Kyung, I want to be alone" I said quietly

For a moment, no one spoke before uncle cleared his throat

"Well you'll be alone in the house when we---"

"No, I mean away from here" I cut him off, once again causing silence to linger.

"I don't think that's a good idea" he interjected

"Get guards to follow me there, I just want to be away from here even if it's just a week" I said

"Just let her" Minjee said when uncle Kyung was about to protest once more "she's willing to bring guards with her so I'm sure she won't be doing anything stupid" she stopped to look at me "am I right?"

I was surprised that Minjee was helping but nonetheless I nodded. Uncle Kyung pondered on it for a couple minutes before reluctantly agreeing. He said that I would bring at least 4 guards with me and he should know where I would be staying. I nodded and left them to pack my things.

You might be thinking that I came up with a plan to escape but no, not this time. I don't want to bring more problems by doing such things. Fate can only tell whether it will be okay. It's our job is to go with it. As said by my uncle earlier, 4 guards were waiting outside the house beside a car. They bowed when they saw me and took my luggage. None of them spoke which is good because I don't think I'd be willing to talk. I gave them the address and we arrived in a matter of minutes. We walked in the building with one of them bringing my luggage. I smiled at the receptionist and proceeded upstairs where my first apartment was.

The fake plant was still there, much to my surprise. I reached down to search for my keys which was easily found and opened the door.

"We will be outside Ms. Jung, please call us if you ever need anything" one of them said

I looked at the 4. They definitely looked like they didn't want to be here but who could blame them? they probably thought that I was like my uncle and aunt.

"At least take my chairs so that you wouldn't be tired with standing up all day" I said. They looked unsure for a second and was about to decline but I insisted and gestured to the chairs. Reluctantly taking 4 of them, I would've argued if they didn't.

"And if you are needed please tell me first cause I'm okay with it. You could visit your family while you're here, it's okay... I know that you haven't gotten the chance to do so. I just need to be assured that you're all okay" I smiled at them and they returned it

"Ne, kamsahamida ma'am" they bowed

I nodded and closed the door. I let out a sigh of relief and dragged my luggage to my old room. Nothing was out of place but the apartment was dusty from all the months that I was gone. I decided to clean up to distract myself. After a good hour I was done and exhausted. Since I didn't have any food in my fridge, I decided to call for take out.

As I waited I lied down on the couch. I didn't feel anything as I was there. There were no memories to reminisce about this apartment. I've heard stories about who used to live here though but no one gave an exact name. They said a couple used to live here...

The man was heartbroken and practically destroyed the place...

When I heard those stories.. I felt bad for him. So many things happened before I was the owner of this apartment... all so sad endings.
