"Elle? Where you going?"
"I'm going out with Leeteuk Oppa," she replied while putting on her face mask.
"What?" Hoseok asked, surprised.
"He's here?" Jungkook asked.
"Be sure to be careful," Namjoon told Elle.
"Yeah, we're going out for a quick supper. I will be back before midnight. I'll keep my phone on. Yes, he's here for this week. Our schedule overlapped with each other. So, we have free time."
"Make sure to take care of yourself," Jin said to Elle.
"Yes, yes. I hear you. Don't worry, I can take care of my self," Elle replied before putting on her shoes.
"See you later," Jimin said.
"See y'all later," Elle replied before walking out of their hotel suite.
Elle's manager is right outside their door waiting for her to accompany her.
"You know you might get another attack from fans online because of this, right?" her manager said as they walked towards the elevator.
"I know, oppa. But I love this life. I love him. And I will do anything. Look at us, the hates are subsiding. There's nothing to worry anymore. All the attacks from previous years, it's getting less and less," Elle said.
"Right," her manager replied nonchalantly.

"Elle."
"Huh?" Elle said before looking back at him.
"I have to say something," he told her, letting go of her hands.
Elle find it confusing. She reluctantly placed her hands down on her lap and look at him.
"I've wanted to talk to you about these for some time but we always didn't had any time to talk seriously. About our relationship," he said.
"What about us?" Elle asked him.
"Elle, you're 23 years old. I'm 34 years old," he said.
"Oppa, if you're talking about our age-"
"No. Listen to me first," he said, moved forward a little.
Elle exhaled, leaning on the back of the chair.
"You have a really long way ahead. You have a really have a bright future ahead. Especially now, BTS is gaining so much popularity. You're gaining popularity yourself," he said.
"I want you to focus on your career. I want you to do everything that you love without any restriction or any feeling that you're retricted," Leeteuk replied.
Elle furrowed her eyebrows, "Oppa..."
"I want us to end our relationship. Not in a bad way."
"I'm old, Elle. And you're... You're very young and you have a really long way ahead, a very promising future. You'll be a superstar, Elle. Trust me. You guys are doing so good," he said.
"And I don't want to be a barrier between you and your career."
"Oppa, you are not any barrier between me and other things," Elle said.
"Elle, maybe you didn't realize it but as things go along, you gain more famous and it will get harder for us to meet up. It's gonna be harder for you. With time, you won't be able to reply to my text and we will grew apart," he said.
Elle looked down and swallowed hard.
"Then let time grew us apart. We don't need to break up or anything," Elle said.
Leeteuk looked at her, "Elle. These few weeks, I've been thinking how our huge age gap will bother you, bother us as we grow older. I would be sick and bedridden while you have to take care of me. Or quit your job just to take care of me."
"Oppa, stop all these," Elle looked at him with teary eyes.
"I love you, Elle. I really love you. But I think we can't continue our relationship anymore. I don't want to bother you and your career. I want you to have a bright future," he said.
"No," Elle shook her head.
"I am so sorry Elle. Really, I am. But I'm doing this for you. For you, Elle," he said.
With tears in her eyes, she grabbed her bag and got up from her seat. She rushed out of the restaurant and met with her manager who was having a cigarette with Leeteuk's manager.
"Elle?" her manager said.
"Oppa, let's leave. Now," Elle said before walked.
Her manager hurriedly bid goodbye to Leeteuk's manager before run after Elle who was already at the car. In the car, Elle burst into tears in the backseat.
"Oh my gosh, Elle," her manager said as he was driving her back to the hotel.
Elle didn't say a word even when she got back at her hotel room. When J-Hope and the other members asked what happened since she was crying, she didn't say anything.
The moment Elle get to her bed, she just cry into her pillow.
