Why Can't We?

19~ Rock Bottom

*3 months earlier*

"Oppa! I miss you so much" I said to him. We are currently talking through video call. 

"Mmmm. Miss you too" He said while giving me a sad smile

"Are you fine Oppa? Seems like you are not" I said worriedly at him

"I'm fine Joyiah. Just tired of all the schedules" He said giving me an assured smile

"Jinjja? Well, take a rest now. You should sleep now so that you could gain strength. Arraso?" I said to him giving him a motivating remark

"Ne aeygi. You too, should sleep now" He said to me. and we ended the call.

"I hope oppa will be okay, he looks sad" I mumbled and fell asleep.

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

(a/n: CHANGSUBIE POV: I'll be putting other POV, just their closest members. Let them be the cupids at work) 

"Gah. I hate this. Why do they need to control my personal life?" I heard him shouted. He has been like this since the last 3 months when he was called by the CEO

He might be cold to others but when the lights are off he is a scaredy-cat and seeing him like this is hard because this is the first time he look frustrated. 

I heard him once again crying in his apartment, I always go to his apartment because he might not be living now. Well, what happened is the article that was out today seems like the reason. I know something was up because even Sooyeong-ah is getting worried, she said that whenever they talk to the phone, Sungjae-ah keeps on wanting for them to break up and that is not the Sungjae I know, she loves Sooyeong-ah so much to do that.

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

"The articles are out. And there are positive and negative comments about your relationship so it will affect your career" my manager said and i just sit there lifeless

"Do they really need to do that? I don't even talk to that girl anymore and the girl I truly love----" I paused knowing she is hurting now "I am hurting her right now, I don't even know what face I will show to her"

"Mianhe Sungjae-ah. You know we can't do anything. Her company is willing to hurt her so much so that she can focus on her work." My manager said and I just wanted to get away from this life. This bullshit life. I can't even love the person I truly love

"That's bullshit." I shouted and just left the company building

A lot of things happened last few months. I didn't even agreed on doing this but for her, I will take the blame. I'm afraid that her career will go down if we continue this especially when her company talked to me

I was called to her company and I don't even know why but only one thing came up to my mind and that is our relationship

"Sungjae-ssi, You're here. Have a seat boy" He said with a fake smile.

"Ye. Annyeonghaseyo CEO-nim" I said while bowing to him

"So how have you been? It's been a long time since we met again" He said

"I've been busy with my schedules and my group's concert" 

"Jinjja? Seems like you are a busy man and relationship isn't your priority, right?" He asked me with a smirk on his face and with that I know where this is going

"Well, I heard from somewhere that you and my Sooyeong are dating. And you do know that I don't like them dating especially she is one of the aces in her group" He continued

"I approved your friendship before because it makes the fans grew more but that doesn't mean that you two can date already" He said walking up to me

"So, what do you want me to do? Break up with her?" I said knowing where this talk will be going

"You are really intelligent. But I know you will fight for your relationship" He said 

"So you do know, then why do we still need to talk and tell me these things" I said

"Well, I already put your both groups into danger also your company. I'll be releasing scandals of your group and company and also the members of her group" He said smirking

"Mwo? Why are they connected with this situation?" I asked him

"I know you will choose her for your career so I put the things that are important to you and her. You choose. Relationship or Career?

Wow. I've heard these words once again but this time career of the people around us. Why do I always end up in this situations? This life.

"I'll break up with her" I said

"Well, you don't have to break up with her." He said knowing he has something under his sleeves

"MWO?! What do you want now?" I shouted at him

"Don't shout boy, I want you to hurt her so that she won't go back to you ever again" He said while sitting again

"We will release a statement that you are dating someone while you two are still together. Easy right? You have nothing to do just don't break up with her and don't talk to her" He said 

"What bullshit is that?" I shouted at him 

"Your words boy. Watch it!" He said pointing at me

I really hate what I'm doing right now. I freaking hate this bullshit every night that we talk the 2 months I keep on saying that we should break up and it breaks me to hear her cry because I am hurting her. But I can't risk her career and my hyungs. They are important to me. 

What's the point of having a good career if the girl I love hates me and is hurting right now and I can't comfort her. I need a break from this chaos.

I talked to my CEO after the article was released. I want to ask for a break and think.

"Annyeong Sungjae-ah. Are you okay" He asked me knowing that I am not so I just nod and sat infront of him

"Mianhe. The company cannot do anything about the article Sungjae. They offered us a lot and threaten us too and we can't risk your group" He said looking at me

"It's okay. I just wanted to take a break for a week maybe?" I asked for permission "I just need some time to cope up again with this"

"Arraso, just update your manager." He said and I left the company building

I was off to my apartment when I saw Changsub-hyung. 

"Sungjae-ah!" He called out

"Oh. Hyung why are you here?" I asked him

"I just dropped by. You? Why are you here?" He asked me.

"Nothing. I just asked for a week-off. I'm kinda tired" I said to him

"Mwo? I should ask one for my self too" He said and started following me

And in the end he join me in to my apartment and we bought some drinks. And I know what his plans are but I don't mind telling him everything.
