Pursuing Her

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.

“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.

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.
