// Third POV //

Lee Know's first words to Mark were odd.

He knew it was out of character, it had to have been. In no way shape or form did he want to scare his nice senior, but on the other hand, he needed help.

Help, he guessed, wasn't the right word. However, he didn't think there were any words to express how sad he felt.

Minho lived in the trainee dorms for six months before moving back in with his parents. Mostly it was due to the same reason why he didn't live in the dorms with the other dancers in BigHit:

People are scary. They are also unpredictable. Including himself.

Minho's dad thought that the reason his son moved back to the dorms after he won the Stray Kids reality show was that he was lonely.

Yet, he wasn't. He wasn't lonely at all. Not physically.

If it was up to him, Minho would have never left his parents house.

Stray Kids were nice, they were like college roommates, but Lee Know had a hard time making friends in his personal life.

Growing up without any siblings was rough for him. The idol world was focused on group dynamic but Minho didn't believe he offered much in that department.

But back to the point, the main reason why Minho was intentionally told to move back in will his parents was that he was kicked out.

It took him completely by surprise. He works all day, he doesn't have time to cause trouble. He has always been very mature for his age, no doubt one of the coldest trainees there due to how focused he was, how determined he felt to make it.

He asked the CEO why and his exact words were:

"Your roommates are afraid of you."

Afraid of me? Minho asked. That made no sense at all. He has barely even said two words to them!

Regardless to the reason why, Minho had to leave. He said goodbye to the oldest trainee in the dorm, hugging him with painful feelings, and went to live with his parents.

His mom and dad didn't judge him. Of course not.

But Minho knew they were curious as to why this unexpected change happened.

He would never tell anyone that.

At least until today.

Minho was running on two days without sleep, and forty-eight hours without a proper meal. He was sick, depressed, angry, weak, lethargic, and he didn't want anyone to see him cry.

He and the guys met Got7 last night, though Chris already knew who they were. Mark seemed to be the most understanding, nonjudgmental person in the whole company next to Bang Chan.

Lee Know bumped into his senior in the JYP dormitory. Mark asked him two questions, how are you and is the idol dorms better than the trainee dorms.

Minho didn't want to answer the first question because he wasn't great. He was terrible actually. He was so far from fine it was crazy.

He answered the second one quite strangely:

"I wouldn't know because I was kicked out six months ago."
