Pulling out her phone, Miyoung mumbles quietly to herself as she scrolls through her messages. Yeonjun hasn't reached out in almost a week and although she knew he was busy with promotions for his groups' recent comeback. The last time the two had spoken, they had agreed to watch his new music video over video call together.

"Watching your new MV, call me when you get a chance." She messaged him real quick with a sigh before placing her phone down and turning towards her laptop.

Opening it, she typed in TXT's newest release, '0X1=LOVESONG' and pressed play. The video starts with Yeonjun running holding a pair of car keys the the beat drop. Taehyun center as the choreography begins. Clips of the members running around as a group. Miyoung sits back in her bed as the first verse begins. She tries her best to catch onto each word but her mind wanders to the video's story line.

The video shows Yeonjun sitting on a couch as a couple argues in the background. She was already sucked in as soon as the video started, but now she was invested. Along with such an attention grabbing story line, the vocals were absolutely beautiful. The emotion in each of their voices, especially Taehyun and Huening Kai. Miyoung wished she could have experienced their voices in person. And before she knew it, the song ends and the screen goes dark only to suddenly show a sleeping Yeonjun outside.

Sitting there in awe, tears prickling the edges of her eyes, Miyoung stared at the dark screen.

"What the heck.." She started. "That's it?"

It was a masterpiece. Beautiful.

She quickly picked up her phone and dialed Yeonjun, still staring at the black screen. The phone rang and rang before going to voicemail. Hanging up she pulled up her messages and began frantically typing.

"HELLO?" She typed in all caps.

"That's all I get?" Pressing send on the next message.

She waited a couple moments but her message goes unread. She sighs thinking to herself that he might be a bit busy.

Placing her phone down once more, she restarted the video.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Doing a couple poses here and there, Miyoung ended her performance beautifully which earned a loud rush of applause from the audience. Bowing in thanks she exited the stage, a huge smile upon her lips.

She was greeted with applause when she walked back to the waiting room. Each staff member congratulating Miyoung and her performance.

"As expected from Miss Unity." One said.

"I couldn't look away!" Another smiled.

With her smile still plastered upon her face as she bowed to her team, thanking them for their hard work and support.

As soon as the music started she forgot about everything and was suddenly immersed with the music, the lyrics, the audience. She could've sworn it was some sort of super power she had unlocked a couple years ago. The ability to drown herself in her performance and forget about all of her worries.

"Miss Unity?" A staff member tapped on Miyoung's shoulder. "You have a guest."

She turned with a curious look before her eyes met a familiar pair.

"Taehyun!" She shouted in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Obviously I'm here to see you." He said, laughing a bit before handing her a small bouquet of flowers.

She looked down at the bouquet before taking it into her hands, smiling softly at him. "You didn't have to."

"I missed your debut stage.. there's no way I would miss this one."

She laughed a little. "Well thank you for coming."

"You were great up there."

"Thank you."

"So, is it just like how you imagined?" He asked.

"Everything and more."

There was a bit of silence between the two before Taehyun gently nudged her arm. "Let's go for a walk."

Miyoung looked over to her manager who gave her a nod of approval. Turning back to him before saying, "Sure, let's go." Placing the bouquet on the table and leading the two out of the room.

The two spend the next couple minutes catching up and laughing at old memories, sitting on one of the staircases near Miyoung's waiting room. He tells her about his times oversees on tours and his concerts and Miyoung listened with stars in her eyes. He pulled out his phone and showed her the different stops he had been to on his recent world tour, the different attractions he saw, the new foods he tried.

"Soobin and Yeonjun have more photos than me, I'll have them send you some." He said before turning off his phone and shoving it into his pocket.

"No! You don't have to!" Miyoung raised her voice without realizing.

The sudden shout startled the man, his eyes widening just the slightest. "Miyoung?"

She blinked a couple times. "S-sorry."

"Listen..." He started making her heart drop. "Are you and Yeonjun... okay?"

"Yeah... of course." There was a slight pause in her voice. "Why wouldn't we be?"

"Yeonjun hasn't been the best since he saw you."

"What does that have to do with seeing me?" She asked quietly.

"Miyoung." He said, seriousness in his tone. "You two can't keep denying what happened."

She just sat there, fiddling with the bracelets on her wrist.

"Look, you need to talk to him Miyoung."

"And tell him what, Taehyun?" She said bluntly. "Apologize for almost ruining his career? His dream?"

"I don't know the full story but-"

"But nothing!" She interrupted him. "I have caused him nothing but pain, Taehyun. You of all people know that."

He sat there, staring at her with what could almost be considered pity in his eyes.

"Why do you act like everything didn't happen?" She said tearing up. "You, Yeonjun, the boys.. I almost ruined you guys'..."

"Miyoung..."

"All because I was selfish."

She stood up, rubbing the tears from her eyes, not caring about smearing her makeup. He followed suit and stands beside her.

"Listen." He started. "Do you think things will get better if you just sit here and cry about it?"

"What?"

"Crying here over the past won't change what happened. You know that." Continuing he walked forward a bit before stopping. "Miyoung. The only reason why we are still 'trying' is because we care."

"I care too." She mumbled.

"If you care fucking act like you do then!" He said slightly raising his voice, making Miyoung jump a bit where she stood.

"I'm.. sorry."

"You're the one that keeps holding on to the past." He continued before turning to face her. "We want more than anything for things to go back to the way they were."

She parted her lips to speak but no words came from them.

"Yeonjun more than anyone." Taehyun whispered barely loud enough for Miyoung to hear.

"I'm sorry."

Taehyun sighed, that look of pity returning to his eyes as they met hers. "I'm sorry too." He began. "I really did come here for your performance."

She didn't respond.

"I didn't mean to yell." He said, the tiniest bit of regret in his tone.

Miyoung wiped a tear from her cheek before taking a few steps towards him and wrapping him in a hug, squeezing him tight. "I'm really sorry, Taehyun."

Without hesitation, he returned the hug, burying his face into her shoulder. He was crying.

"I'm so sorry." She repeated.

"I just want things to go back to how they were, Miyoung." He muttered through tears into her shoulder which made her hold him tighter.

"I know." She said, her own tears coating her voice. "So do I."
