Lee Tae Yong POV

I heard a faint voice calling out to me. "Sir. Sir, please wake up. You can't sleep here."

With half-opened eyes, I looked at the waitress and then around the place I was in. Immediately my eyes shot open.

My head still ached. "Um... Sorry, but will you get me a glass of water?"

The waitress nodded and left. I groaned as I brought my hand to my head, massaging it. "Damn that crook. He drugged me."

"Sleep well, Taeyong. When you wake up, Bangtan Caramel will be no more."

My eyes widen in horror. In a panic, I reach for my phone inside my pants. It wasn't there. I searched everywhere but there was no trace of it.

I felt guilty. I had no intention of handing over those photos. I just wanted Taehyung to suffer; not Bangtan Caramel.

I wrapped my arms around myself and stayed there that way.

Bangtan Caramel is gone because of me.

Bangtan Caramel POV

"Taehyung, where are you?!," Hoseok screamed through the phone. Finally, after calling Taehyung many times, he answered.

"Put it on speaker!," Jungkook ordered and Hoseok did so.

"I want to be alone for a while."

"Oppa, are you okay?!," Jungkook yelled worriedly.

"Yeah. I'm okay."

"If you're okay then you wouldn't want to be alone. Where you are, Tae?," Jimin scolded.

"I don't want to tell where I am."

"Stupid Tae, stop making us worry!," Jimin scolded.

"I'll kill you once I get my hands on you, Oppa," Jungkook muttered.

The other line went dead. Taehyung had hung up.

"He finally answered and you made him hung up!," Hoseok spoke. He pushed the two away and walked away, calling Taehyung again.

Jimin groaned as he fell back on the couch next to Jungkook.

"I have to complete this but I can't focus! Damn Tae!," Jungkook muttered as he scratched his head.

RING! RING! RING!

Jimin and Jungkook turned to Hoseok who was looking right back at them.

"It's not me," Hoseok said.

"It's mine." Jimin picked his phone from the table. He was hoping for Taehyung's name to flash up on the screen; but instead it was their Manager's.

"Hello?," Jimin answered the call, putting it up on speaker mode.

"I got a call from the CEO."

"And - ?"

"And I'm sending a car to pick up guys up. Pack up your bags and come back to the Big Hit."

"What? Why?"

"The CEO will explain it to you."

"What's this all of a sudden?!"

"I am sorry."

"Wha - Are you pranking us?!"

The other line went dead; only the beeping of  Baekhyun's phone could be heard.

Bangtan Caramel exchanged worried glances.

"What's going on?," Jungkook asked.

"I don't know."

"Something's wrong?," Hoseok guessed.

"Maybe. Let's just do as he says."

"What about Taehyung?," Jungkook asked.

The other two remained quiet as they exchanged worried looks.

Kim Tae Hyung POV

The best place to find silence is at the library; none to disturb you here and just some people who study.

I was sitting there, in the far corner as I stared out the window.

I did the right thing for them, right? Taeyong will let them go now, right?

RING!

My phone rang at full volume and all eyes turned to me. In a panic, I took out my phone.

"Sorry," I apologized to the people and they went back to studying.

I looked down and Jimin's name was flashing up on the screen. I rejected the call and switched off my phone.

It's not like I'm mad at them. It's just that I don't want them to see me sad and pitiful.

Byun Baek Hyun POV

It has not even been a day since I came to Paris;and now I have to return because of that stupid paparazzi.

And I had finally met the one.

"What is it, baby?," Chanyeol asked as he lightly squeezed my shoulders.

"I have to go back," I frowned.

"What? But it hasn't even been a day," he whined.

"I know. I'm sorry, Channie," I gave a fake smile.

Chanyeol gave me an assuring smile. "I'll take you to the airport then," he said as he gave me a hug.

I hugged him back. "Thank you."

"Don't worry. We'll meet again."

"I hope so too."

Kim Tae Hyung POV

All through the classes, I was zoning out. My friends tried talking me out of it, but ---

Soon school was over.

As I neared my house, I could see lots of people standing out there, holding cameras and microphones. The street was filled with vans. It was a total commotion.

I heard some reporter yell, "Is this true?"

And then Bangtan Caramel appeared with their bodyguards who led them to Bangtan Caramel's van.

Where are they going?

Suddenly another reporter shouted, "Are you leaving just like that?!"

Leaving?

I watched them get inside their van. The door closed and the can drove away.

I stood there still as I stared the van drive away.

Bangtan Caramel is leaving.

In an impulse, I ran as fast as I could after the van. My breath was running out, but I had to meet them.

"Jimin!," I yelled as I chased after the vehicle.

"Hoseok! Ya, Jungkook!," I shouted again. My mouth felt dry now and my legs started giving up.

No matter how fast I ran, I wasn't able to catch up to the van.

I ran out of breath.

I stopped, in the middle of the street, as I watched the van disappear from my sight.

One last time, I yelled, "Don't go!"

I felt myself tearing up. My eyes were probably red now and my nose bright pink.

"Don't go...," I breathed.

They were gone.

Bangtan Caramel left.

Right then, the reporters gathered around me, asking me questions and all.
I wanted to break all their cameras and maybe even punch the male reporters; but I decided to act cool and calm.

"I don't know," I replied to them. And went back home. Maybe Baekhyun can explain to me.

I entered my house, closing the door shut behind. I tossed my bag in the corner and walked into the living room. I turned on the TV but it wasn't enough to get my mind off Bangtan Caramel.

I took out my phone and dialled in Baekhyun's number. I stood up and walked to and fro. "Hyung, pick up. Please pick up."

"Bangtan Caramel - ," the reporter in the TV spoke up.

My gaze turned to the TV and it was fixed on it.

" - has been officially disbanded. The reason for this is still unknown. Big Hit's CEO, Bang Si Hyuk, has refused to answer the question. The members have refused to comment on it as well.
Thousands of fans are now, causing a riot outside Big Hit's main building, shouting that they don't disband the group."

I stood there still. My eyes widened as I stared at the screen. My body went numb. Bangtan Caramel disbanded? Why?

Could it be -

"Taeyong," I cursed as I clenched my fist.

" - And this news just came in. The CEO of Big Hit just announced that the girls will be sent to the US saying that it will be best for the girls."

What on earth is going on?

Why are they being sent to the US?

And here I was thinking I will meet them again someday.

I didn't even get to say goodbye.

Baekhyun's voice boomed through the phone, "Taehyung? Hello? Are you there? Tae?"

And I didn't even get to confess my feelings to him.

I was too late.

He's gone.
