Memories

Many will agree that pictures are the reflection of memories. It can take you back to the places and events we've been to in the past.

But not all pictures and past are worth looking back at.

Rana Mae started browsing their pictures on her laptop, which she couldn't erase, just like memories she couldn't forget.

There are unwanted memories that keep on coming back like she was asking for them.

She woke up with a heavy head since she did not sleep well, she just finished shooting a film about Jenny and now she was about to start filming as Trixie.

Meanwhile, Uno and the others went to visit him again on the set hoping they would find Rana Mae hiding in the corner watching him, but she wasn't there.

"I'm deeply hurt for thinking you have forgotten that I am your friend and not her." Eljin, as dramatic, as he is, acted like he was deeply hurt.

Harold laughs which brings joy to everyone around them, his laugh sounds like music to everyone's ears. "Of course, it's you. But these kids wouldn't leave us alone."

V, on the other side, is trying to call her on the phone. He's been close with her since he was the first one who debuted as an actor. "Wait, 'til the eldest runs and post it to report it to our fans," Uno said laughing on the side.

"Of course, he is the oldest. Why do you expect him to complain about those who are younger than him?" Rana Mae said laughing on the other line. Oh, V was on speaker mode. "While every one of you can run to him, he couldn't. Because as the oldest he thinks you are his responsibility."

Everyone is teasing him quietly while V continues talking with her, "Stop defending him just because you love him." V narrowed his already kinky eyes.

Rana Mae only scowled at him, "What do you need this time?"

Everyone was anticipating she would answer back, but she didn't. "I have to ask you about something."

"Why don't you ask Jun, instead? He is much more experienced than I am." V, forgetting he was in speaker mode was spanked in the head by Uno.

"Oh, I forgot I was on speaker mode." Rana Mae cries in disbelief. Does he think everyone is gullible enough to believe him?

If she could punch him in the face right now, she would. "It was intentional," she only got a laugh as a response from him. "You should call Jun and stop pestering me. Please, get a life!"

V stopped her from ending the call and move away from everyone. Jin scowled in disbelief, "You might suddenly report to the fans, huh?" Kaleb reminded him as everyone laughed.

"I won't be surprised if one day, he will." Everyone is enjoying his agony while Nathan is just looking at them like he is studying everyone's reaction.

Jin walked out from them, he is having a hard time hiding his emotions when it comes to her. "It's been a year and yet you are still into her."

He didn't even realize that Nathan followed him inside the dressing room. "Can you blame me?" He shrugs his head answering his question. "My world literally revolves around her."

"And that is the worst decision you ever did, not leaving anything behind for yourself," Jin stares at his reflection in the mirror while listening intently. "If Rana Mae finds out why your fans are mad at her, I'm sure she would blame herself for the rest of her life."

He clearly knows what he is talking about and swear to himself that he will never admit whatever he did, for her sake. "Are you still mad about it?"

Nathan shrugs his head, "You know what I felt during those days?" From staring at his reflection, he looks at him with pain in his eyes. "I wish all of you can love whoever you wanted, freely."

Eljin and Nathan had a long and heart-to-heart conversation that Kaleb could never mention to anyone.

It was Harold who saw him eavesdropping, he smiled and pats him on the shoulder as he walk with him back to the set.

If there is the most painful thing in years spent together, Kaleb will confidently say it was what happened before.

"Rana Mae saw and supported you, she didn't sleep along with you. What are you doing with yourself?" Uno is trying his best to open his eyes. But Jin is blinded with pain and hatred, and longing. "Do you want to see Rana blaming herself for something she wanted to protect?"

Kaleb couldn't watch his brother crying in pain, and now he is making his decision without thinking about it. "Can you all please stop yelling at each other?"

Everyone turns to look at him, his holding the hem of his shirt like his life depends on it, "We will talk it out as one without invalidating Jin's feelings. Can we do just that Uno?" He is not the best leader for nothing.

Jimmy went between the two and gave them a hug, "Calm down first. Then, let's talk about it as a group."

Uno followed Jin into his room and stopped talking, just there sitting beside him making him feel his presence.

Everyone is sad and hurt witnessing him being this heartbroken when Jin became The Weekends solid foundation throughout the year.

He really did his best to become the brother these six people need, and no more no less.

But this feeling is something new to him that he couldn't just keep in.

Good thing, Jimmy saw him wandering a lot outside. He even heard how Jin was so sure about leaving them.

No one leaves him alone until he cries his heart out. Everyone could not help but cry along with Jin. This is the saddest and hardest part they encountered together.

Kaleb could not move an inch away from him, making sure he is okay.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you since you are the oldest I should know better than that. But my stand with your decision will never change." Uno started the conversation with all six of them in the living room.

Jin simply nodded his head, not wanting to speak or make another decision that will bring pain to everyone. "Since you are the oldest, we are not going to stop you from doing what you really want. But you have to take every one of us into consideration." Nathan said quietly.

V, who's worried about him could not speak about the issue afraid of saying things against his heart. "I'm sorry." He said in a low voice, still trying to comprehend what happened earlier.

Jimmy hugs him tight which made Jin cry again, "There are a lot of things you have to consider first before leaving the group, and we will not take that away from you. But please, think about it seven times harder."

All six of them that even after deciding to leave, the group will just go on with their lives as The Weekend. But, the popularity and the recognition they got were brought by all seven of them.

They aren't The Weekend if there are not seven members in the group.

Just like Jin said before, seven or none. How could he easily forget those lines that made them who they are right now?

He's been fighting for equality in the company for all seven of them, if he is going to leave just like that who will keep them protected just like what he did before?

Kaleb, who's not giving a comment about what's happening, stays beside him no matter how long and tiresome it is to cry along with him.

He is the youngest among them, and seeing Jin this devastated makes him question his own stand about everything in life.

The days have passed, and Kaleb is still not leaving Jin behind. He even slept with him in the same bed, not wanting to wake up not seeing or hearing him anymore.

No one ever mentioned what was going on in their days off and made sure that it will not be reminded of Jin.

Slowly, Jin is gaining the strength and courage to continue what he started with six of them. He knows in his heart, that Rana Mae would not want him to leave them behind.

There are days that Jin couldn't help but feel sad and lonely whenever he remembers her but seeing all six of them gave him courage.

He braves all his emotions and fought along well with everyone.

"You know that what she said was right. Jin thinks we are his responsibility and he thinks he couldn't tell us what he feels in words. " Harold said reminding Kaleb that everything is all right now, and no one is going to leave, not now.

He nodded his head watching Jin and Nathan gets playful together, "Look at him seeming bright and joyful, and behind closed doors are the only thing that keeps reminding him about his pain." Everyone looked at Uno smiling at them.

"You should all know that I won't trade you for the world," V said gleaming in happiness. Of course, they are happy. They survived that heartbreak.

All seven of them stays and made sure no one gets left behind. "This is why you should stop making our fans go crazy or we'll lose them," Jimmy said teasing V, remembering how he teases them with his smile.

"Wow, coming from the international playboy." That came from Uno who usually gets a proposal every single time.

Jin and Nathan took their time eyeing them laughing. Jin runs to Kaleb and gave him a big tight hug, losing his sense of control. Good thing, V and Jimmy were ready to catch them both.

They all ended up laughing at themselves.

Jin, is happy that he didn't leave them lost and wondering. He didn't let those questions themselves and decided to stay with them.

"I was wondering why Jimmy started singing," all of a sudden all seven of them were inside Harold's apartment taking turns in play station.

Harold thought the same thing, but then the international playboy laughs as he showed them Jun and Rana's picture together. "Wow, Jun is so brave."

"Jin is much braver," Nathan said complimenting the sulking Eljin. He keeps murmuring which made everyone laugh. "Please, keep his phone away from him."

He narrowed his eyes looking at all six of them, "It's not like I couldn't post her on my social media accounts. I can do that all day. I am not going to brag but I am more good-looking compared to him."

Kaleb couldn't help but laugh, "Wow, my older brother raps faster than the three of you." pertaining to Harold, Uno, and Nathan who were laughing alongside Kaleb and V.

"Stop teasing the jealous old Jin," V commented laughing. Right at this moment, Jin couldn't sit still and started complaining and mumbling in front of them.

All six of them watch him intently as he complains, "Don't worry you are much more handsome than Jun." Uno said tapping his shoulder making everyone laugh including Jin.
