Sungkyu's POV

The look on Babysoul's face said it all. She was rejected? I doubt that because I know how talented she is. I ran after her. I went outside the building but I didn't see her. I went back to the building and asked the guard.

"Did you notice if the girl wearing a ghost costume went out already?"

"No sir. I can recognize all the people going in and out of the building and I'm sure she didn't go out yet," the guard answered.

"Thanks!" I said with a tap in his shoulder. I went to the stairs to check her. We don't usually use the stair because of the elevator so maybe she used it.

And finally I saw her sitting in one of the steps of the stairs... crying in Hoya's arm. I leaned in the wall and listened to her cry.

"You know, I experienced a lot of rejections in my life." I heard Hoya say. "I auditioned to a lot of companies but they didn't accept me, sometimes they would even say hurtful words." He chuckled. "They even called me fat, shorty, and that I'm not good enough.But look at me now, I've reached my dream. Your time will come too. Just keep on trying."

I didn't hear her answer back. She just kept on crying. "Come on Babysoul. You can tell me everything."

"The girl said I'm using Sungkyu and I'm only ruining Sungkyu'scareer," she said between her sobs.

"What?" Hoya asked. I also asked the same question in my head.

"She said I'm only using Sungkyu," she repeated.

"Are we talking about Miss Soyu?"

I didn't hear her answer but I know what she meant. So its about Soyu?My jaw clenched. I have to confront her.

I was about to walk away when I heard Hoya. "Babysoul, are you crying because of what she said not because you were rejected?"

That question of Hoya to her made me think.Why?

There was a long silence.

"Ahm, can you send me home please?" I heard her answer.

"Sure, I will," Hoya replied and then I heard their footsteps. I immediately walked away.

Babysoul's POV

"Babysoul, are you crying because of what she said not because you were rejected?"

I was stopped with what Hoya have said. That hit me. Literary, my tears stopped flowing. And yes, he was able to point it.

I don't know why, but I don't care if I got rejected. What made me feel sentimentally emotional is the fact that Ms. Soyu's words reminded me of so many hurtful wordsI didn't want to remember.

Out of the blue, I asked Hoya, "Ahm, can you send me home please?"

Hoya seemed amazed with my sudden demand. Nevertheless he said, "Sure, I will."

I want to go home already, clean my face, go to sleep and forget this day. But I realized I don't have any money with me so even though it's so shameful, I asked Hoya to help me go back home.

Also, I don't want this conversation to go deeper because I don't want to end up telling him the real reason why I'm crying.

However, I'm thankful Hoya is here with me and made me feel better. He stood up and offered his hands. I took it and also stood up.

"But before we go, do you want to go to the restroom to fix yourself?" he offered.

"Yes please," I answered and so he brought me there. Before that, we went into his locker and handed me a towel and a black jacket with an INFINITE words printed on it.

"No. It's okay," I resisted.

"Come on use it," he insisted.

"Ahm... Thank you," I just said. I went in and washed my face and removed the make-up and prosthetics on my face.

I wore the jacket Hoya gave me and went out. He was there waiting for me outside.

"You're a human again!" he exclaimed. "You know I was really scared of you a while back! I felt like anytime you're going to bite me," he said teasingly.

"Ya! Ghosts don't bite!" I said with a laughter. Somehow, he is really making a way to make me feel better.

And then he looked at me intently. "It's good to see you smiling again," he said seriously.

Again, I smiled at him. "Thanks to you," I said as we make our way to the parking lot.

Then someone called Hoya from behind so we both looked back. And Sungkyu came in big steps.

"Hoya, I'll take it from here," he said.

"It's okay hyung. I'll bring her home," Hoya said.

"I'm the one who brought her here so I'll be the one to bring her home," he insisted.

There was a long silence. "Hoya will take me back," Isaid.

"I said I will take you back," he said in a very serious tone.

"She said she wants me to take her back," Hoya said in a serious tone too.

I got alarmed with the atmosphere. "Let's listen to him," I just said to Hoya to prevent any misunderstanding. "Sungkyu has a point, he was the one who brought me here," I added.

He sighed. "Okay. But are you going to be alright?" he asked.

I nodded. "Thanks for everything."

Hoya let go of my arms. "Hyung, take care of her," he said.

"I know," Sungkyu answered and pulled me to the car. I rode silently into it.

We were both silent until we reached the main road.

"I'm sorry you didn't pass as a trainee," he broke the silence.

"Who told you I want to be an idol?" I answered.

"Isn't that your... dream?"

"That 'was' my dream. Not anymore. I've changed," I simply said.

"Ah... really?" he said mockingly.

I didn't answer him. I chose to remain silent and just stared at the road.

Of course not. It is still my dream. To be a singer, to compose songs, to do anything that is related to music. Actually, it was 'our' dream together before. Being in a band and all, we wanted to be recognized through music, to compose songs, record albums and to perform around the world!

Even when the band disbanded due to a rift between the members, Sungkyu and I still held that dream. We went through auditions together, got rejected together, but still we were happy chasing that dream. Until that one day...

"Aish chincha this traffic!" Sungkyu exclaimed bringing me back from the memory lane. I fixed myself in my seat and went back staring at the rain outside the window.

Sungkyu's POV

I took glances at Babysoul as I drive the car. It's not my car, it's the company's.

She's resting her head sideways while looking outside. I don't know what she's thinking or what's she's feeling. I wish I knew. I don't know but I really felt bad for her. I know its my fault because I brought her there unprepared. But I believed she'll pass because I believe in our companies' motto, true music and true emotion. I know the panel saw that talent in her.

But then I remembered Soyu was one of the panel a while back in place of our CEO because he has an important business engagement. I'm really going to confront her when I get back. She's being unfair.

I again took a glance at Babysoul.

"I'm sorry you didn't pass as a trainee," I broke the silence.

"Who told you I want to be an idol?" she answered. I was surprised with her answer.

"Isn't that your... dream?"

"That 'was' my dream. Not anymore. I've changed," she said.

"Ah... really?" I'm in disbelief. How could she forget those dreams? Again, I felt bad. How could she just give up like that?

I didn't spoke a word after that and neither did she.

And then I realized, I didn't know what happened or how she has been living over the past years. I've been selfish and consumed by my desire to get back at her that I forgot to look at her current status.

I don't know anymore. I'm equally confused with my feelings. Sometimes, I'm angry at her, but most of the time I just want to help her, actually, to be with her.

"Aish chincha this traffic!" I said annoyedof myself rather than the traffic.

After sometime, the road went better and I drove silently. The sound of the rain and cars occupied most of our silence until we reached her apartment.
