We didn’t need you, and didn’t need to see you”, Lay spoke as Ara walked inside their dressing room.“Don’t be like that, hyung”, Tao stepped out and glanced at Ara who just rolled her eyes. He gave her a pump up first with a smile; indicating her to stay strong and ignore everything. Ara just nodded her head.“What, Tao? I’m right. She’s here, and it just make my mood went downhill. Tsk”, Lay crossed his arms, and walked away from Ara.Baekhyun looked at Ara in guilt, so did Suho.“Guys, please be a little nice with her”, Luhan said and took a deep breath.“Hyung, are you alright? Did she poisoned you?”, Chanyeol asked and shook his head; no more the happy virus look. “I’ve remove all your posters in my room. I’m regretting everything. How can I be your fans? My biggest fault”.“Yeol~”, Suho tried to stopping Chanyeol.“We shouldn’t judge a people by looks. Gosh”, Xiumin added.“Hyung, stop it! Why are you so cruel to Ara?”, Tao whinned and bit his lips.“What, Tao?”, Kris shot him a glare.“Why are you so nice to her, Tao? Can’t you see what she did to our Minji? It was Minji, Tao.

Threat?”, Chen, the one who just stay silent asked.“Stop it guys!”, Baekhyun yelled, couldn’t stand any longer. “Just shut up, will you?”, he gritted his teeth and walked toward Ara, pulled her out of the room in a fast pace.
