"So, let me get this straight."

All five boys had sat in Kai's living room. Beomgyu had explained the whole time traveling sequence to them, and the fact that they would all die in a few months. Not the greatest conversation starter.

"So Soobin is gonna threaten you or some shit, then make you kill Taehyun. And then after that shit starts going downhill and then he attacks Kai then Kai nearly dies and then Kai says it was him so then he blows up the hospital, killing a bunch of people?" Yeonjun said with disbelief in his voice.

"Eh." Soobin shrugged, "Sounds like something I would do."

"SOOBIN!" Yeonjun yelled in a stern voice.

"WHAT?"

Taehyun seemed to be writing something down in a notepad, very quickly too. Kai looked over his shoulder and just laughed.

"Stay..away..from Beomgyu.." Taehyun muttered.

"Wha- NO! Wait, maybe yes." Beomgyu muttered the last part, "OH! And I forgot to add that Yeonjun killed himself."

"Seems like something I would do." Yeonjun shrugged and Soobin just sighed.

"What even caused all of it to happen though?" Kai asked.

"I'm just surprised you all believe me.." Beomgyu sighed from relief

"OH NO NOT AT ALL!" Kai laughed, "I just wanna see how much more there is to this!"

Beomgyu sighed again, but instead it wasn't from relief. Rather the opposite, "Taehyun and Soobin started arguing about God knows what, and then Soobin thought it would be a good idea to just kill Taehyun to fix all of his problems."

"Stay...away..from Soobin." Taehyun mumbled as he wrote on his paper even more.

"I agree with future me." Soobin nodded.

"I DON'T." Taehyun whined

They all just sighed and stood up to go their separate ways. They clearly didn't seem that interested in time travel talk, especially since all of this came out of nowhere from Beomgyu.

"Welp, I'm bored, Beomgyu is drunk, and I no longer have a reason to be here. Goodbye!"

Soobin waved to them all and walked out the door.

Soobin was a very creative and imaginative person. He would always dream of being a huge star, just like his mother, Choi Sooyoung. She was an amazing actor, always getting the main lead. He looked up to her a lot, and swore that he would grow up to be just like her.

Though, his mother would always shut down his dreams. His imagination would always get out of hand for her, so she would just shut him up so easily.

"Eomma! Do you think I'd be able to be a famous actor like you?" Soobin said with a huge smile on his face.

"Soobin-ah, don't you understand? Your mother is one of a kind, you'll never be like me, and you'll never be a big star. It's just something you aren't capable of." Sooyoung said, patting her son's hair, "Maybe you can take the route of your father and become a doctor instead. Asan Medical Center has some good paying jobs!"

Soobin frowned at that and just nodded. He didn't want to be a doctor, he wanted to be an actor just like his mom. But as always, he was never capable of doing so. That's what he was always told.

As he got older, he still continued to follow his dream of becoming an actor. He would watch his mother on the sets with the biggest admiration in his eyes. He would even write down a few notes and tips that the director would give him.

After shooting, his mom would always walk over to him. She would see the notebook he had in his hand and frown, "Yah, Soobin-ah. I've already told you that you would never be able to be an actor."

"But I wanna try!" Soobin cried, "I've been studying what you do, and maybe I can even major in acting when I go to college!"

"He has a point, Mrs. Choi," the director said, "He could be an amazing actor! He even has the looks for it."

Sooyoung rolled her eyes, "I told you to be a doctor! Though, I'm not even sure if you're capable of that either.." she mumbled the last part, though Soobin heard it and he was starting to get teary-eyed.

"Am I not capable of anything to you?" Soobin said in a sadder tone.

"If I'm being honest with you, yes. You're capable of nothing." Sooyoung said blankly, "If only you were more like your sister. But thanks to you I had to give her to someone else!"

Soobin shook his head, "You don't know what I'm capable of!"

"I KNOW THAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF BEING NOTHING BUT A DISGRACE TO THIS FAMILY!" Sooyoung bursted out. Everyone around them stopped what they were doing and looked at the scene of a mother yelling at her son. They all went quiet, and she seemed to notice that they were all staring.

Soobin was shaking and looked at the ground, hoping no one would see him cry. It's embarrassing, and would only make his mother yell at him even more. Was he a burden?

Sooyoung exhaled as if she was trying to calm down, then clapped her hands, forming a smile, "Sorry about that! Shall we continue?"

She went back to the staff and Soobin just sat there, tears threatening to spill out. The director patted his back then went back to work on the movie scene. Soobin then closed his notebook and walked out the studio.

It pissed Soobin off how easily she was able to force a smile, as if she didn't just yell at her son, calling him a disgrace. He stopped walking in the middle of nowhere and just started bawling. He saw his tears fall onto the sidewalk.

He sobbed until his eyes became numb and his breathing became heavy. It just kept replaying in his head, no matter what he did to forget it. The anger in her eyes, her harsh words, how he would never be like his alleged sister.

'Nothing but a disgrace..'
