Kim Devon’s Untold Story Part 2
We were at an awards show, and I was a little nervous.
The team decided to perform a few of our old songs, and I requested that we sing "Let me know", remembering the words I wanted to tell her so badly.

Where did our promises made to each other go?
Did they disappear along with our time spent together?
The dominoes that fell because of our breakup
Like Juliet, and Romeo
Did I like you too much?
The heat between us won't cool down
I look back at a video of us, just needing a memory of you,
You took away the stars of my night and the sun of my day
The only thing left,
Being a single cold cloud
If there's hellos then there's bound to be goodbyes, right?
Never ever
Whatever that rule is, I want to break it
I'll turn away, hypnotizing myself
My eyes closed the entire time.
This song is about us.
Are you listening?
It was Noah's verse on Let me know, and then her face focused on the screen, the crowd cheering so loud.
My eyes focused on her face and I realized that something was wrong.
Is she crying?
And then the screen shows back Noah and my eyes ended up searching her from the section where all other idols were located.
My heart hammering on my chest.
Did she know this song is for her?
My body was shaking; my emotion was scattered all around.
Where is she?
And just when my eyes caught a familiar figure trying to walk away, and then her face turned back to the direction of the stage and our eyes met.
For me, it feels like the whole world stopped and it's only me and her.
Her face was covered with thousands of emotions, but one thing is for sure,
She was hurting.
It was for you. I wanted to say.
And then she turned her back, walking away from the crowd.
After our performance, we headed back to our dressing room for a moment to change.
Just then, one of our managers called for me.
Noah and Sylver looked in my direction, a little worried and I just smiled at them.
Once our manager and I were out, he looked at me, a concerned look visible on his face.
"Are you okay Devon? Everybody is getting worried." Our manager asked and my eyes softened at his words.
Yeah, I know I have been acting so weird lately and I am feeling so apologetic for worrying them all.
"I am feeling better hyung." I told him and he taps my shoulder.
"If there is something bothering you, tell us Devon. We are a family," he mumbled before pulling me for a hug.
I am so glad I have TRIGGER and our staff who are always there for us.
All that's left is her.
After changing, the boys and I were already sitting in our designated place and before I knew it, my eyes started scanning the place, searching for her but all I see were a few of her team members, her familiar figure missing among the crowd.
And then I felt someone tap me by the shoulder and my eyes met Sylver hyung's.
"Yes, hyung?" I asked him confused.
"You're acting polar opposite than how you usually do Devon. Is something bothering you?" he asked worriedly and just then, I realized that the rest of the boys' attention was also focused on me.
"Correct me if I am wrong by the way but earlier, you seemed too focused on that specific artist." Joseph added and Jiro nodded in approval.
"I think every single one, even the audience, noticed hyung. Do you perhaps, know her personally?" Jack whispered and my eyes landed back to Sylver hyung and Noah.
Before I can even respond, one of her members passed by near us and my heart started beating rapidly after what I heard.
"She's crying..."
As I turned on the last corner, my eyes caught two familiar figures from afar.
It was her.
Were they fighting?
"Devon, let's go." Noah tried pulling me away from the two.
Of course, he would be scared. That's a sunbae who was with her.
But then I don't care.
She's crying and I need to know she's okay.
I don't care if my younger member sees me like this.
I know they had been worried. The past few days, gone was the Devon who is playful and relax, jumping around.
All the Devon that is left now is someone who is missing the girl who brought hope to me back when I was struggling to reach my dreams.
And then my eyes widen, my whole world seemed to stop when I heard her whimper.
He slapped her.
It's as if everything went dark and in a blink of an eye, I was there, on top of him, while Noah and Jack try to pry my body away from him.
But I don't care.
A man should never hit a woman.
Never.
It took Jack to use all of his strength to stop me from lunging my fist off from my sunbae's face.
My eyes lost all of its colors and all I see is the image of him slapping her on the face.
Fuck.
Even I had never lifted a finger on her before.
Not once.
By the time the boys were able to get my hands off from our sunbae, my eyes focused on her, her arms wrapped around my body.
And then I realized,
She's crying.
"Stop Devon, please...." she whispered.
Her voice was shaking.
And my eyes soften at the sound of her, my insides churning, I had to close my eyes for a moment to calm myself.
"Why do you keep on getting between us? What? Do you like her or something?" our sunbae laughed sarcastically as he wipes the blood on the side of his lips.
I knew I hit him so hard.
"Sorry sunbae." Noah bowed but his expression was stern.
He was apologizing for my action but I know he was mad as well.
I can see his hands balled into a fist. He hates seeing a woman getting hit by a man, so is Jack.
"It's okay, but I don-"
"I don't." I cut his words and his eyes landed on mine.
Jack seemed shocked for a moment, and so is our sunbae. I am talking back to a sunbae, I know. It's against the norms but who cares?
"I don't like her, I love her. I still love her." I whispered, admitting the fact that had been bothering me ever since.
And then my eyes landed on him, shock evident on his face.
"So please don't treat her like shit. Do not treat her so carelessly. She doesn't deserve it, nor any woman to be hit." I told him and he looked taken aback at my words.
Her arms tightened at my waist and my hands wrapped around her.
She was shaking and my heart ached at the sight of her being so vulnerable.
She seemed so fragile in my arms.
Just then, her members arrived and before I knew it, they were walking away from us, along with her.
My eyes followed her figure, but before they turned on a corner, she looked back, our eyes met.
I feel so stupid.
Why did I ever let her walk away from me a few years ago?
A month has passed, and we were on the plane as we landed back to Korea.
We had a series of concerts within Asia and we just arrived back.
