::Chapter 10::

Micky is staring at the magazine in front of him for a long time now. He is not even reading the magazine at all. He is thinking back to last night when he called Eunhyuk.

"Hello. Eunhyuk speaking."

"Hello, hyung. It's me, Micky."

"Oh, hi Micky. How are you doing?"

"I am fine. Thank you."

"What’s the matter? You have some trouble?" Eunhyuk asked, full of concern for Micky.

"It’s not me. It’s Junsu. He was asking me about Ling."

"I don’t know how to answer him. I don’t want all of us to go through the same pain again after Ling left."

"Okay. I understand how you feel. I don’t want him to go through the whole experience again as well."

"I know how it ripped him apart when she left him." Eunhyuk said, understanding how Micky felt.

"Micky, don’t worry too much. Things will turn out alright in the end."

"You can tell him what he wants to know. But when it comes to the heartbreaking moment, just tell him that he will find out in time when his memories started to come back again."

"Thank you, hyung."

"No problem, Micky. Remember that I will always be there for him and also for you. If you need help again, feel free to call me. I will try to solve it for you."

"Don’t burden your mind too much, alright. Rest your mind. Goodbye, Micky."

"Bye, hyung."

He knows that he needs to tell Junsu the truth, or whatever that he demands to know about Ling. He can’t hide the facts from Junsu forever. He is bound to know it sooner or later. He closes the magazine and got out of his chair. He can’t concentrate on it any longer.

He walks over to his keyboard and starts to play the all too familiar tune. He did not compose the song himself but did it with the help of Junsu. He likes the tune very much. It is a nice ballad. Junsu had always persuaded him to hand the song over to their producer to get his opinion of the song. Junsu wanted the song to be included in their new album but his wish just never come true since Micky will always come up with an excuse one way or another.

*knock knock*

"Hey, Micky hyung."

"Oh. Hi Changmin."

"Jaejoong hyung had prepared some fruits. Would you like to come out to eat it?"

"Yeah sure. Go on ahead. I will be out in a minute."

"Okay, sure."

That night when everyone is sleeping soundly, dreaming away, Micky is still very much awake. He started to think of how to deal with Junsu’s questions on Ling. He knows he can’t avoid answering Junsu anymore. What Eunhyuk hyung had told him is right. He will need to answer Junsu whether he likes it or not.
