Twice's 10th Member Haeju

The End - Part 3

"I disagree. We cannot end it like this!" Raj Oppa tells the chairmen in the middle of the meeting.

I'm surprised that he says that. 

CEO-nim suggested that they thought it was the best for me to leave Twice, "I'm sure you know the situation, Dear. People start to sympathy for the other 9 members. So, we need to do some regulations. We need to do this because there are some aspects in Twice that are already 'burned off' for people. We need a refreshment. It's not because you're bad. Not at all. This is just how the entertainment industry works." 

As the contract says, I can leave Twice before my contract ends. Basically, they want me to resign on my own will to protect Jype's image. Doesn't mean they will completely leave me tho, but... 

"It would be the best for all of us, Haeju. For you too. We hope you can understand that," he said.

Thanks to Raj Oppa, they end the meeting with a conclusion that the chairmen will give me another chance. Raj Oppa actually told them to trust me. Now I have two weeks! As what Oppa said, I need to prove them that the fans still need me. Twice members still need me. Everyone does. 

Do they? Let's ask that question once again!

Nothing changes.

I've done my best but at the end of the day, I'm still me. Those articles are still out there. People still treat me the same. This week makes me sure that no one needs 'Haeju' anymore. I wonder if Jype will add another member after I leave. That might be interesting. A new adventure for Twice. New stories! New fun. For them...

Well, I cannot really say that nothing changes. I feel like Sana stops approaching me. She is still bubbly in general but.... More casual to me now. She is not trying to get close to me that much. In fact, she is after Chaeyoung now. Or Dahyun? I'm not sure......... Different with Tzuyu. These days she likes to tease me. She becomes so annoying. I'm the target of her pranks now. I've told them a loooong time ago that I don't like that kind of stuffs. I wonder why she does that now. I feel like she is forcing herself to treat me like this. Why? Is it because I'm that boring now? Sana and Tzuyu really act weirdle these days.

I feel like I have lost the people that I can share my feelings with. They've changed. All of them, except Raj Oppa. I'm close to him these days. I tell everything to him. I don't know why all of these things are happening. I guess Oppa was right for re-asking my decision to leave Twice. No need to wait for 2 weeks, now I'm sure what to do......

"I'm proud of you to make such a wise decision," Raj oppa says me before we enter JYP PD-nim's room. But that kind of encouragement is already meaningless at this point. 

I enter the room and I tell PD-nim about my final decision. In the middle of our little talk, his secretary gives him the papers for me to sign. I take the pen that PD-nim hands me over. My hand is shaking.....

I sign it.

It's official now. Me, Ahn Haeju, is no longer the 10th member of Twice. This is the end. 

I hold my cry because I don't want them to think that I regret my decision. Well, in fact, no tears can't come out from my eyes. PD-nim gives me some advices after that but I just can't listen to him. My mind is so blank right now. I just wanna go home and hurriedly pack my bag. Tomorrow, I will leave the dorm. Starting today, I'm no longer a part of Twice.....

Raj oppa escorts me to the dorm. Before I come out of the car, he says something, "As expected, Haeju is a really nice girl. Haha! It's been nice to know you," he seems...... Happy? I don't get it at first. But I guess he just doesn't want me to be sad. It's too late when I want to show my gratitude to him, I'm already dropped in the dorm and he quickly leaves.
