Minho POV
It has been two weeks since I last talked to Chan. After he had left the office he didn't talk to me again, except for a text
I'm sorry Minho, but I can't be your boyfriend.After I got the text I broke down crying. The next day in school I wanted to talk to him. I tried, but he always ran away...
The anti-aggression training had started, and I hated it. But I still went three times a week for my grandma.
Chan hadn't talked to anyone out of the friend group, except for Felix. I was worried and hurt. It actually hurt me that he just send a text to tell me that. My mood was bad since then and everybody asked what happened. But I didn't tell them. Everyday felt the same, I woke up, got ready for school, then some hours trying to talk to someone who ignored you, coming back home, homework and going to bed.
I think Chan wasn't doing any better than me. The bags under his eyes grew, he got paler, had scratches on his arms and got skinnier.
At this point he looked like he could collapse any minute. I asked Hyunjin to try to talk to him, but Chan also didn't talk to him.
Currently I was sitting at a table during lunchtime. Everyone was here except for him. I moved my food on the plate, not really hungry.
„Minho? You should eat." our youngest looked at me with worried eyes. I nodded and saw Hyunjin talking to him, probably explaining that I was not the one with an eating disorder. Jeongin was always worried when someone wasn't eating properly, I guess Hyunjin's past had left a big impact on him.
I started eating when suddenly someone sat down in front of me. I looked up and saw the most beautiful but also the most broken eyes I've ever seen in my life.
Chan
He greeted everyone shyly and just stared at his hands. He didn't bring anything to eat
What a surprise
I shook up from my thoughts when I heard someone calling for me.
„Minho?! Can we please talk for a second. It's important!" I saw Hyunjin standing up and quickly followed him. He went to the hall and waited there for me. When I was finally standing infront of him, he started talking
„Minho, you see it and I can see it. Chan is killing himself! We can't just watch any longer, we have to help him, we have to save him from himself." He bursted out, and it was visible how much it mattered to him, I could see his eyes become watery. Without thinking I embraced him into a big comforting hug. Soon I felt my shirt getting wet and heard him sobbing. I caressed his back and tried to calm him down, until he finally did.
„I"m s-so sorr-ry Minho. I wish I could help you better but I'm not strong enough to deal with that shit again." he said, his voice a bit shaky.
„Hyunjin, listen! It's completely fine, I can understand that you have a problem with this topic and I'm actually really happy that you told me, that you put yourself first, cause that is important." I said with an couraging smile.
He nodded and asked what we should do now. I was thinking. It was also a lot for me so I didn't know what to do.
„Hyunjin? What do you think about going to Mr. T and telling him about the problem but without mentioning Chans name?"
„That is a great idea. I think we can trust him and he is really kind. Should we go now ?"he asked. I nodded in response and we started searching for him.
We soon found him standing in the hall and talking to a student, who left a minute after we came.
T: „ Oh hey guys. What can I do for you?"
M: „We actually have a serious problem and didn't knew with who else we could talk ."
T: „ Oh ok that's fine. Should we go to my office?" we both nodded in response and followed him.
T: „Take a seat guys. Hyunjin? You look really pale do you want a tea or something?"
I looked over to Hyunjin, Mr. T was right. He looked really stressed and nodded to answer Mr. T, who gave him a cup of tea.
T: „So, do you want to start?"
H: „Actually I think before we can talk about the problem you need to know some of the back story..."
I was surprised, I didn't expect Hyunjin to open up about his past. But that means he was better.
H: „I had some kind of issues, last year. Ehm... I-I ha-had an eat-eating disorder." he looked down and a tear fell down from his face.
T: „Thank you, that you told me. I can only imagine how hard that must be for you."
Hyunjin nodded looked up again and gave me a sign to go on from now.
M: „So, uhm... we maybe habe a friend who has like a similar struggle than Hyunjin had and we need help, cause we don't know how to help him, cause he distanced himself from us the last weeks. And I'm just so worried about him, I don't want him to starve himself. And he has another thing... he, he hurts himself. He doesn't cut but he scratches on his skin till it bleeds really bad." When I had finished I could also get my eyes watery and blinked a few times to get the upcoming tears away.
T: „Have you tried to talk to Chan?"
M: „No we-... how do you know it's about him?!"
T: „First, I'm not dumb. Second, you just admitted it."
M: „Shit!"
T: „No swearing! So has he told you or have you found out?"
H: „So, I found out, since I know how someone with an eating disorder acts, I realized he had one. So I got suspicious and once followed him to the bathroom and saw him throw up. And Minho asked him about that when they met once."
T: „Okay guys. I'm really grateful , that you told me. I think it would be best, if I talk to him and try to help him."
M: „But please don't tell him that you know it from us."
T: „ Sure. You should go now. Lunch is nearly over..."————————————————————
