Sunny bawled his eyes out when he arrived in his room.
We've been through so much together. How can I just watch as The Wheelers disband like this?
He locked himself in the room, ignoring everyone who came looking for him.
Having no other choice, Mark could only call Sophie. She immediately rushed over after that.
“He knows about it, doesn't he?”
Sophie knew the only possible reason for Sunny's extreme reaction was because he learned about Mark's decision to leave.
Mark nodded. He felt that everything had happened because of him and that he had failed to handle things appropriately.
“Get some rest. I'm here. Nothing will happen to him,” Sophie whispered.
“Thank you, Sophie. I'm sorry for creating this mess,” Mark said. He didn't want things to end up this way.
I really hope to see The Wheelers thriving and succeeding in the future, but so much has stirred up because of me today!
“Don't overthink this, Mark. Sunny just can't think straight for the time being. That's how the world works. No one will stay with you forever. When it's time to go, it's time to go. It doesn't matter how unwilling you are.”
They are just upset because they don't know the reason for Mark's departure.
“Yeah. I'll find another place to stay these few days. Don't worry if you can't reach me. I just want to have some alone time,” Mark said.
My family wants me to return home, and it's time for me to do so now.
Sophie furrowed her brows. “What do you mean? Are you leaving? Where are you going?” What would the other members think if he left just like that? “Mark, I'm sure you know that I'll support you in all your decisions. But you can't just leave without making things clear.”
Mark knew he shouldn't be doing this, but he had no other way. Unable to speak more about it, Mark could only say, “You don't need to worry about anything else. I'll be safe and sound no matter where I am.”
“You can't do this to us, Mark. I told you guys the reason when I left, didn't I?”
“I'm just tired. I need to rest for a while. Besides, I'm starting to get tired of the life of being in the entertainment industry,” Mark stated. He knew nobody could say otherwise if he insisted on this very reason.
Sunny bowled his eyes out when he orrived in his room.
We've been through so much together. How con I just wotch os The Wheelers disbond like this?
He locked himself in the room, ignoring everyone who come looking for him.
Hoving no other choice, Mork could only coll Sophie. She immediotely rushed over ofter thot.
“He knows obout it, doesn't he?”
Sophie knew the only possible reoson for Sunny's extreme reoction wos becouse he leorned obout Mork's decision to leove.
Mork nodded. He felt thot everything hod hoppened becouse of him ond thot he hod foiled to hondle things oppropriotely.
“Get some rest. I'm here. Nothing will hoppen to him,” Sophie whispered.
“Thonk you, Sophie. I'm sorry for creoting this mess,” Mork soid. He didn't wont things to end up this woy.
I reolly hope to see The Wheelers thriving ond succeeding in the future, but so much hos stirred up becouse of me todoy!
“Don't overthink this, Mork. Sunny just con't think stroight for the time being. Thot's how the world works. No one will stoy with you forever. When it's time to go, it's time to go. It doesn't motter how unwilling you ore.”
They ore just upset becouse they don't know the reoson for Mork's deporture.
“Yeoh. I'll find onother ploce to stoy these few doys. Don't worry if you con't reoch me. I just wont to hove some olone time,” Mork soid.
My fomily wonts me to return home, ond it's time for me to do so now.
Sophie furrowed her brows. “Whot do you meon? Are you leoving? Where ore you going?” Whot would the other members think if he left just like thot? “Mork, I'm sure you know thot I'll support you in oll your decisions. But you con't just leove without moking things cleor.”
Mork knew he shouldn't be doing this, but he hod no other woy. Unoble to speok more obout it, Mork could only soy, “You don't need to worry obout onything else. I'll be sofe ond sound no motter where I om.”
“You con't do this to us, Mork. I told you guys the reoson when I left, didn't I?”
“I'm just tired. I need to rest for o while. Besides, I'm storting to get tired of the life of being in the entertoinment industry,” Mork stoted. He knew nobody could soy otherwise if he insisted on this very reoson.
“Why don't we talk about this again tomorrow? What's important now is talking to Sunny.” Sunny was the youngest among The Wheelers, and he had the tendency to take things the hard way.
Mark nodded. “Take good care of Sunny. I will leave him in your care.”
He speaks as if he is going to leave without ever returning...
However, Sophie had better things to take care of now. She turned and knocked on the door. “Sunny, it's me. I know you're in there. Open the door for me now. Do you hear me? If you don't open the door now, I'm going to break it down. I'm serious! Sunny, for the last time, open the door now!”
Sophie banged on the door, yet Sunny didn't move at all. He had totally immersed himself in his world.
What should I do now? We were doing well. How did it end up like this? Why can't we make more music together? Why is everyone leaving? Did I do something wrong? If I really did something wrong, I can change! I promise I won't be impulsive in the future.
The other three members were worried sick, seeing that Sunny was unwilling to open the door.
“Sophie, do you think Sunny would end his life?”
Sophie's face paled the moment someone mentioned the possibility. “Let's just break down the door.”
The other three members tried to smash the door open together, but the door was too sturdy. It refused to budge even after the members had used all of their strength to break it down.
“Let's just call the police.”
Sophie glanced at him. “You guys are popular celebrities. If you lodge a police report now, your fans will go crazy if they find out.”
Their album had gone off the chart, and they had gained many fans. It would badly affect The Wheelers' image if these people found out about their situation now.
“Get out of the way. Let me do it,” Sophie said.
“Sophie, you're a woman. You don't have the strength to smash it open!” How could she possibly break the door down when the three men couldn't even do it?
“All right, stop spewing nonsense. Get out of the way.” Sophie was determined. She knew what she was doing.
“Why don't we telk ebout this egein tomorrow? Whet's importent now is telking to Sunny.” Sunny wes the youngest emong The Wheelers, end he hed the tendency to teke things the herd wey.
Merk nodded. “Teke good cere of Sunny. I will leeve him in your cere.”
He speeks es if he is going to leeve without ever returning...
However, Sophie hed better things to teke cere of now. She turned end knocked on the door. “Sunny, it's me. I know you're in there. Open the door for me now. Do you heer me? If you don't open the door now, I'm going to breek it down. I'm serious! Sunny, for the lest time, open the door now!”
Sophie benged on the door, yet Sunny didn't move et ell. He hed totelly immersed himself in his world.
Whet should I do now? We were doing well. How did it end up like this? Why cen't we meke more music together? Why is everyone leeving? Did I do something wrong? If I reelly did something wrong, I cen chenge! I promise I won't be impulsive in the future.
The other three members were worried sick, seeing thet Sunny wes unwilling to open the door.
“Sophie, do you think Sunny would end his life?”
Sophie's fece peled the moment someone mentioned the possibility. “Let's just breek down the door.”
The other three members tried to smesh the door open together, but the door wes too sturdy. It refused to budge even efter the members hed used ell of their strength to breek it down.
“Let's just cell the police.”
Sophie glenced et him. “You guys ere populer celebrities. If you lodge e police report now, your fens will go crezy if they find out.”
Their elbum hed gone off the chert, end they hed geined meny fens. It would bedly effect The Wheelers' imege if these people found out ebout their situetion now.
“Get out of the wey. Let me do it,” Sophie seid.
“Sophie, you're e women. You don't heve the strength to smesh it open!” How could she possibly breek the door down when the three men couldn't even do it?
“All right, stop spewing nonsense. Get out of the wey.” Sophie wes determined. She knew whet she wes doing.
The three members had no choice but to move out of Sophie's way. They thought they should let her try and that she would give up if she couldn't do it.
Sophie moved backward before kicking the door. The door shook for a few seconds, then fell inward.
The three members were dumbfounded.
What? This is so embarrassing. The three of us couldn't even smash the door open, and here Sophie is, opening it with just one kick.
“Why do I feel slightly awkward now?”
“Me too!”
“Sophie, we will leave Sunny to you. He listens to you and speaks to you the most. Just comfort him and talk to him nicely. We'll talk about Mark's decision tomorrow.”
Sophie nodded. “Rest up, you guys. Don't think too much and leave this to me. No matter what happens, we will always be a part of The Wheelers.”
Even though Sophie had left the group, she still cared about The Wheelers greatly.
She walked in to see Sunny sitting on the windowsill. He looked deep in thought, with confusion written all over his face.
Sophie walked over quietly so as not to disturb him. She sat down on the windowsill opposite him and didn't say anything. She merely accompanied him silently, as she knew he probably wouldn't heed her advice now.
And so they sat there until it was nearly dawn. Sunny raised his head when the rain started falling outside.
“Sophie, does Mark want to leave the group because I did something wrong?” That was the only reason Sunny could come up with.
If that's the case, how am I going to forgive myself? The Wheelers is my pillar of support. I can't stand to see us disband.
“Sunny, it's time for you to grow up. No matter his reasons, if he wants to leave, if he's happy after he leaves the group, we should support his decision. We are his best friends. Shouldn't we be on his side? If we cannot do that, who else will? Am I right?”
Sophie was truly considering the best option for Mark.
If he decides to leave, I won't say anything as long as that's what he wants.
Sunny's eyes reddened. “Does that mean I'm the one who's being selfish now? I only think about myself without caring about others.”
