“Stephen, everyone has their own path to choose. I've been gone for a long tnow, so there’s no need to
dwell on it anymore. Even if I'm not physically there, my heart is always with you all. Ill always be a part of the
Avery band. | just didn’t want to live constantly under the spotlight, that’s all.”
That kind of flashy life had never been what she wanted.
“Yeah... okay. | understand.”
“So givea little time, alright? Letfigure out what's going on with Avery, letunderstand why he wants
to leave. And until then, you need to take care of yourself. Don’t make everyone worry again.”
He was nineteen already-an adult. He couldn't keep being so emotional and impulsive.
“And don’t let the fans find out about this yet.”
“Got it.” Stephen felt genuinely ashamed. Ms. Tessa was younger than he was, yet she was always the one who
had to handle his messes.
“You don’t need to worry about me. I'll take good care of myself. Your only task right now is to figure out why the
captain wants to leave.”
“Alright. Try to get ssleep. All of tomorrow’s schedules have been canceled. Just stay here and get some
proper rest.”
“Stephen probably doesn’t know about that yet,” Stephen reminded her.
“Yeah. I'll let him know.”
Only after watching Stephen lie down did Ms. Tessa leave the room.

The moment she stepped out, the other three members stood up immediately. They hadn't left. They'd been
waiting outside the whole time.
“Tessa, what are you planning to do about the captain?”
“Yeah... if we don’t have a captain, are we even still the Avery band? Should we just disband?”
No matter who they brought in, it wouldn't be Avery. And if it wasn’t Avery, then it wasn’t the Avery band.
They couldn't accept a replacement. If Avery left, then the band would have to end. A band couldn't exist
without a lead.
“Alright. For now, just get srest. I'll figure out what's really going on. Until | do, no one says a word to
anyone.”
The three nodded. Ms. Tessa was someone they trusted.
They believed in her.
“Please keep an eye on Stephen. His emotions are unstable. He can’t have another breakdown right now.”
“Leave Stephen to us. You find tto talk with the captain. Even if he really is leaving, we deserve a reason.
We're not asking for much-just the truth.”

Ms. Tessa nodded. “Yeah. | understand.”
“Tessa, thank you for everything.”

She smiled. “No matter what, I'll always be part of the Avery band. And right now, | feel exactly the sway
you do.”
After leaving the band’s villa, she found Landon waiting outside.
The moment she got in the car, Ms. Tessa let out a long sigh.
Only by Landon’s side could she drop the strong front and allow her emotions to show.
Seeing her like this, Landon knew Avery truly intended to leave.
He gently held her hand.
“It’s alright. No one can stay in your life forever-not even your parents. So how could we expect it from friends?”
Ms. Tessa didn’t respond. Of course she knew he was right. But even knowing that didn’t make it any easier to
accept.
Avery... he was the soul of the band. If he left, then the Avery band would cease to exist.
Replace him with another lead?
None of them could accept that.
Back at the apartment, Landon poured her a warm glass of milk. “It’s really late. Drink this and get ssleep.
No matter what it is, as long as it’s a problem, it can be solved.”
“Okay.”
She knew he was worried about her.
“Honestly, | can accept the outcome. What | can’t accept is the reason he gave for it.”
There had to be more to it.

“Yeah.”
After lying on the couch for a bit, Landon gently picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, laying her down
on the bed.
“For now, don’t think about anything else. Just get srest.”
“Okay. I'll sleep.”
She didn’t usually sleep well, and she wasn't really sleepy at the moment. She wasn’t someone who liked forcing
herself to rest. But when she saw the serious look on his face, she nodded and closed her eyes.
Breathing in the scent of his pinewood pheromones, Ms. Tessa slowly let her thoughts quiet down. Landon stayed
beside her the whole time, not moving until her breathing grew calm and steady.

Once he was sure she was asleep, he quietly left the room.
Then, he pulled out his phone and made a call to Avery,
“Cout for a drink.”
