'In Sik please, pick up the call!!', Man Soo was walking right and left in his room. 'Should I call Han Jun? Noo, I can't wait, I can just go to his place!!'. Director Ji was at the office on a meeting to schedule work for another artist under him. He looked around first then sprinted to door. Locked the door hurriedly and went to his place.

J-Son had never slept soo well in a long time. Since the day he got drunk, he had been having repeating dreams of his past. But this one time he slept peacefully. They had a lot of fun yesterday so much that he had forgotten to charge his phone. Han Jun was making a simple breakfast for himself and J-Son. As the doorbell rang, he went to open the door.

"Han Jun, hshhdghhf, Where is In Sik? He's hshshsdhdh on the net hshshshs".

Park Han Jun tilted his hand ads he had no idea of what he just heard. Han Jun pointed inside as he said, "But In Sik is still sleeping, I hope it's not urgent. He hadn't slept soo well rec-". 

"No, we have to wake him up!", Kim Man Soo ran to the room. "What happened?", Han Jun asked worriedly. 

"Search J-Son's name on internet, you'll know", he said as he shook J-Son so hard that he thought he woke up to a earthquake. He woke up but fell of the bed. "Manager-nim, what the hellllllll? You want to break my back?!".

"Don't manager-nim me now! Look what is back for you", Man Soo looked like he would cry any moment, "What did you do in your past that all these people are coming for you". Han Jun was reading the article, his face changed. He played the audio recording that was pinned.

"Hyu-He bullied me when we we were in high school. Whatever she said is true I saw it with my own eyes. Hyun-He used to abused her when they were dating each other. I. . . . I've seen it all with my eyes".

The person was crying soo much, J-Son didn't know what to think. He thought he had passed all this mess. His mind went blank but he remembered something. "Is this really true?", Han Jun asked softly. J-Son grabbed his hair, "This voice. . . I have heard it somewhere . . . ".

"So it . . . .was true?", Han Jun asked again wishing it was not.

"No, No Han Jun. It's not true. They are framing me".

Man Soo looked at J-Son, "But you know this person too? In Sik ahhh just tell the truth. . . At least to us so we can do something", he said as he pulled his both hands together.

In Sik got up and went outside his room. Both followed behind him as he repeatedly asked three things, "What do I do? I know him, who was he? What will I do?". But he could remember a face even though now his memory was faint. He started hitting his head remember this voice more. Han Jun and Man Soo ran to him to pull his hand away, screaming his name. 

"What are you doing, J-Son?".

Man Soo added, "Yes, Have you gone nuts? Why are you hitting yourself?!". In Sik remembered something, "YES! He was a junior in my school. I knew him!".

"Then it is-", Man Soo got cut off by In Sik screaming no. "Hyung, believe me! Just cause I have no proof, doesn't mean I did it! ", his hand started shaking, "I don't know hat happened to my old photos, in fact I don't even remember my high school days so well". They both saw and tried to calm him down. 

"Okay, you calm down. Let's go to the office, and discuss about a solution to it", Man Soo said calmly. Han Jun held his hand with his other hand and smiled, "It's okay. By the looks of it, it seems even they don't have solid proof".

They went to the building but the entrance was filled with reporters and many others. Manager Man Soo slowed the car to make them not noticeable and headed towards the basement. But one of them noticed and pointed towards the car and assumed it to be J-Son's. They were right.

"Sh -it! They saw us even when I didn't pass in front of them", Man Soo said. As J-Son got down the car people were running towards them, but J-Son and Han Jun walked faster and Man Soo joined them after. The people still caught up to them before they could reach the door to shut them out.

They bombarded him with so many questions while Man Soo was pushing them away and Han Jun was covering him. Kim In Sik tapped his shoulder and asked him to move aside.

"I don't know what to say, but believe me. I have not done nothing they are framing me for. I promise I will come out of this. Let the people who are accusing me be at peace is all I am wishing-".

J-Son saw that a broken glass bottle was thrown to his face as he heard someone shout "ABUSER!". Man Soo screamed, "Everyone stay back! J-Son MOVE!". J-Son turned his face to the side, suddenly he could feel someone push him. 

Han Jun pushed him, and grabbed the glass on time before it could hit him. His hand started bleeding with the glass still in his hand. All the reporters stood in shock. They turned around to see a man running away. In Sik's filled in tears as he looked at his hand. Man Soo pushed the camera-men who were recording right behind them to make space to enter the building.

Park Han Jun looked down, the expression on his face was something J-Son had never seen. He clenched his fist, this only hurt his hand more. His other hand had just healed from what had happened when In Sik was drunk.

"I Hope all of YOU got your ANSWERS".

Even though the tone of his voice seemed fine, his eyes were telling something else when he lifted his head to look up. Man Soo dragged In Sik inside, the reporters and camera-men slowly backed off. And for the few who tried to stay, Han Jun moved his hand which held the glass bottle in a way making the blood dripping from it fall towards them. 

J-Son started crying in the lift as they entered in. "In Sik -ahh, it's fine. Don't cry", Man Soo said. 

"But his hand. . ."

Han Jun was still holding the glass which was cracked more than before now. "Here, Han Jun takes this napkin", Man Soo said as he took one out of his pocket, "We'll get to third floor and get your hand treated before everything".

He took the napkin and looked towards the two standing behind, "I will go by myself, let J-Son go to the Director first. It's more important". He looked towards them with a calming smile like nothing had happened. He got down at third floor, with his hand covered with napkin but the glass shards were still in his hand.

"It's all because of me! Han Jun is hurt again because of me. I am causing all of you this trouble since days, I shouldn't have come back. I should just quit. . . Yes, I think that's the answer I will give to the reporters. That I'm retiring from this industry!".

Kim In Sik wept in Director Ji's office. Everyone outside the office were discussing about it. Some were getting calls about it. The atmosphere was tense but what made them sadder was the cries heard of the most cheerful person.

"What are you saying, In Sik? You were in the industry for nearly 4 years! What do you mean you shouldn't have come back?", Man Soo said loudly. 

"Yes! You can't just quit so easily. You are J-Son, the face of our company!", Chung Hee added.

"And I am ruining it, I don't my colleagues and juniors to be effected by me. Quitting is the only way I can free you all! I don't have proof to prove I'm innocent and I don't want people to get hurt because of me". 

He was crying but every time he said the word quit he smiled too hard.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY QUITTING, IN SIK?!"
