"Well, then maybe I don't want to be a DRGNS anymore!"

My shout echoed through the room, shaking everyone to their core while they stared at me in disbelief. My eyes grew wide when I finally realised my own words, desperately trying to swallow the thick lump in my throat. My own neck hair started to stand up, but I couldn't be care less.

"Are you serious?" it immediately came from Yeeun and for the first time in a while, I couldn't distinguish the tone in her voice.

There was definitely anger that lingered in her sentence due to the heated argument just seconds ago, but if I wasn't mistaking, I could also hear a hint of sorrow and disappointment.
She wasn't used to the fact that someone would jump out of line and now that it was happening right in front of her, it seemed as if the tough facade of hers was slowly starting to crack.

"Yes, I am serious", I answered despite her hurt expression while biting the inside of my cheek. "And I mean every word."

I stared at my members with determination blazing in my eyes, my own heart aching a little as I faced the moment I had been scared of for such a long time.
'Now or never' I thought to myself while my heart was racing at an unhealthy speed. Yeeun slowly stood up, placing the palm of her hands on the table and leaning forward, her gloomy stare never braking for even a second. 

"Why?" she almost yelled out of sheer despair, gritting her teeth while the bitter-sad look in her eyes caused me to stop breathing. "Why do you side with them all of a sudden? After everything they've done, why them?"

Her loud and sore voice made me shudder uncomfortably and even though the desperate stance of my leader made me wistful, there was no way stopping what had already started. I hesitantly opened my mouth, but as my weary eyes looked back at her, it felt like no words could form that would describe the way I felt. 

There was not just one particular reason, why I was now on NCT's side. It was a whole ass journey, that made me believe we were more alike than I had assumed.
Still, there was one reason that weighed a little more than the others, the one that caused me to realize that I had looked at the world through a narrow tunnel all along.

"Because-", I immediately bit my lip and balled my hands into fists, somehow afraid of saying the next words.
"Because I'm in love with Lee Donghyuck."

The long kept secret finally left my mouth and as my heart stopped beating because of all the shocked looks, it felt like stopped time too.
There I stood, not a single muscle in my body moving nor those of my members'.
No one dared to take a breath and only stared at me with blanc faces, slowly but surely suffocating just like I did.
