Panting and trying to catch his breath, Seungmin finally came to a screeching stop at the door to their dorm. Not caring about the terrible stitch in his stomach and the throbbing pain in his legs, he banged on the door. When no one answered, Seungmin's heart pounded harder, and with each knock, he frowned deeper. I should've brought the keys in my bag. Why am I so dumb?


As if Seungmin's mind had been read, he heard the heavy breathing of someone. Whisking his head around, he found Minho running towards him. He had Seungmin's black bag over his shoulder and was swinging the keys in front of Seungmin's relieved face. Smiling gratefully at Minho, he unlocked the door quickly and hurried inside. Minho silently followed behind him, still oblivious to what was happening.


Seungmin yelled out for Hyunjin, but there was no reply. "Is he not home yet?" Minho questioned.


"I don't know, Hyung..."


Together, they entered their room, which was shared with Hyunjin, to check if he was there. Pitch, black darkness greeted them, and the only source of light and sound came from the bathroom. The closer they got to the bathroom door, the louder the crying became. Nervously, the two peeked through the slight gap only to witness a horrifying scene that made them burst in immediately. As Minho snatched the scissors out of Hyunjin's pale hand, the latter was tackled into an aggressive hug by Seungmin.


"Why? Why are you doing this? Please! Talk to me!" Seungmin cried into Hyunjin's ear.


As soon as Seungmin pulled back to look at his fellow member, one of his closest friends, one who he had always adored like an older brother, someone who he looked up to and admired ever since the trainee days, he felt his heart clench, and the waterworks finally burst out.


Seungmin's knees gave up, and he dropped down to the ground. He kneeled on the floor with endless tears dripping out. He pleaded from the bottom of his heart for Hyunjin to stop and talk to him. Hyunjin just stood there quietly and looked away with his emotionless face, yet the tear stains on his cheeks scarred his face.


The seconds and minutes passed with no answers nor reactions from Hyunjin, and Minho was ticked off by Hyunjin's behaviour. When Seungmin's pleading reached his ears, he couldn't control himself. He charged towards Hyunjin, grabbed his shirt collar, and slammed him against the tiled walls. Hyunjin looked at him frightened but then glanced away, avoiding eye contact at all costs. "Look at me, you bastard! What do you think you're doing? Cutting your wrists? Making Seungmin kneel? What's up with you, and why aren't you telling us anything?" Minho angrily shouted.
