The boy stopped, immediately deleting the text message he wrote. He was afraid the person would stop texting him if he told them the truth. That he was just a boy, who was a full-time idol — not a professional.

"I will...just stick with this identity for a bit and tell them later." He mumbled, nodding to himself.

Jungwon froze, his fingers stopping midway writing.

He never met anyone like her before. He was scared of saying anything wrong.

He remembered how his staff members described her after they brought her home. Jungwon had immediately interrogated them and their description was still engraved in his memory.

A fragile girl with telling eyes. Full of fear and anger at the same time.

It was the exact opposite of how he imagined her.

A girl? Who was his age?

Wanting to die? For some reason, the boy felt a sense of responsibility towards her.

Was it because he was the leader of his own group? He wasn't sure.
