"Then why are you doing this to me…" Jay bit his lips. He tried to hold the tears welling in his eyes. "Why do you cheat on me? I did everything for you, Hyung…"

Han saw how heartbroken Jay was. But he didn't know where did Jay know that he was cheating on him. However, at this point, Han also didn't feel like denying it. Since there was nothing he could do, he lowered his gaze and decided not to answer.

Which, in Jay's eyes, was an affirmation that Han Hyung did cheat on him.

Jay clenched his chest that had been twisted from inside. Jay looked up to stop the tears welling in his eyes. He was trying hard not to cry for a cheater, but he couldn't handle it. Tears started streaming down on his cheek.

"Hyung, do you like my debut performance today?" Jay asked while he started sobbing. 

"Yes, you did great, Jay…"

"I did great because I keep thinking about you when I perform. I keep wondering if you would be proud of me when I have a successful solo debut. Since I am still Jay BXB69, I thought you would be happy that I'm carrying our group's name."

"I thought you would wait for me in the backstage with the same bouquet of roses, smiling at me and telling me that I did a great job."

"But what did I get? I couldn't find you anywhere. And when I call that bastard Lee Yongsun, he told me that you gave him the rose bouquet that was supposed to be mine," Jay said. It was just a simple bouquet of roses, but it meant a lot for Jay.

Because it reminded him of their first time meeting when Jay was doing his street dance with his friends.

He captured people's attention with his smooth yet powerful dance moves, including Han, who worked not far from that place.

Han was captivated by Jay's dance and approached him immediately after he finished his dance. He bought a rose from a nearby florist and gave it to Jay.

Jay frowned at that time, thinking it was weird for a man to give him a rose out of nowhere, "Who are you? And why are you giving me this?"

"Well, I just saw your dance move, and honestly, you did a great job! You are a talented dancer, and it captures my eyes immediately. Just take that rose as my sign of admiration to you," Han explained.

Jay grinned at that time. Because he thought it was a bit too cheesy for him. But he didn't find it disgusting. Jay accepted the rose and asked, "What is your name?"

"Han, Kim Haneul. What about you? What's your name?"

"Jay, Im Jaehwa…"

That rose was very memorable for Jay because it was the first gift from Han Hyung, and it was to show his admiration for his talent. 

That bouquet of roses made Jay warm all over because Han Hyung showed how much his admiration and love had grown over the years of them together through thick and thin.

Now, that rose bouquet was given to someone else, and that person laughed and taunted him. Of course, Jay was angry. He had the right to be angry. He had his love and pride stomped by a greedy bastard who took Han Hyung from him because he had the power and position to do so.

Han still cast his eyes on the ground and zipped his mouth, letting Jay's imagination run wild. "How long have you been cheating with that bastard Lee Yongsun? Did you offer him to fuck you like a cheap slut already?!"

"NO!" this time, Han finally reacted. Although he made out with Lee Yongsun twice. They hadn't done it yet, and Han was sure that he didn't purposely give his body like a cheap slut. It was because he wanted to protect Jay!

"Han Hyung, I've called your friend in that coffee shop, and he said that you have been fired from that coffee shop for a while. But you still returned to the dorm late at night, with that cigarette smell in your hair!"

"Hyung, what do you think of me? Do you think that I'm just a man whom you can dump whenever you like? Is it because of money? Is it because I don't have much money that you are cheating with that rich bastard!?"

"Hyung, why are you like this? You act like a cheap slut!"

"STOP!" Han couldn't handle such slander thrown at him. He was hurt by that statement because he went as far as to sign the contract with the devil solely to save Jay! How could he say something so hurtful at him!

"Then just give me a reason!" Jay yelled.

Han wanted to tell the truth to Jay, but he instantly remembered that Lee Yongsun literally owned Jay's life like it was his property. He could break Jay's leg, make him blind instantly, or even make his heart stop right here, right now.

If he told Jay that he signed up for a devil contract to save him, Jay would definitely confront Mr. Lee Yongsun.

Jay was hotblooded and had a big temper when he was angry.  Han didn't want to imagine what would happen if Jay actually confronted the devil that could kill him with a simple flick of his fingers.

'I don't know what will Lee Yongsun do if Jay confronts him right now. But I know it will be something very malicious…'

'So… is it best to just keep my silence and let Jay's mind goes haywire, letting him assume that I'm just a cheap slut offering my ass to Lee Yongsun for money and position?'

'So in the end, in order to save Jay, I still have to be branded as a cheap slut… by the man I cared for….'

Kim Haneul felt his body was trembling all over. If he could, he wanted to just tell Jay about everything. But Jay had a bright future, and Han didn't want to ruin that bright future.

Thus, Han decided to simply zip his mouth again, allowing Jay to assume whatever he had in his head.

'It's okay if he assumes that I'm just a cheap slut. It's okay if he put all the blame on me. Because Jay has a bright future waiting for him. He will be sad for a month or two after our break up, but I believe he will move on and start a new life as a great soloist. He will forget about me and get a new boyfriend or girlfriend.'

'You may not know about my sacrifice, Im Jaehwa, but I will protect you until the end. Because you deserve it… at least more than me…'

Jay saw that Han Hyung refused to give him any reason. As if he had accepted everything and didn't care if he was labelled as a cheap slut, a money whore.

Jay clenched his fist, he wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't want to punch his beloved Hyung.

"I don't need you, you cheating whore. We are done." Jay pushed Han Hyung until he fell to the ground and left his beloved Hyung alone.
