Lee Know has been reading some horrible comments and articles recently. Especially ones saying that Hyunjin is way better than him and that he brings nothing to the group. He starts to believe them.
Meanwhile his boyfriends connect the dots too late...
tw: blood, hate comments, crying, anxiety, mentioned implied death, not eating, panicking, implied suicidal/dark thoughts (?), let me know if I missed anything

Chan began to explain some of the things he's seen people say about Lee Know online, and he could see the anger building up inside of the eight men in front of him. Mark, who was still sat next to Chan, let out a breath before motioning for Jaebeom to come closer. The two of them kind of accidentally adopted Minho over the last few years and he could see the concern and anger all over his face, which is rare for him to break his strong look in front of his juniors.
"J, I need you to help me pick him up. Bammie, help Chan because I can practically feel him holding in his panic. Changbin, gather Minho's things. Jackson, call one of the other stray babies. The rest of you open doors for us, we need to get him somewhere more comfortable."
Everyone began to follow Mark's orders, Jaebeom instantly coming over to his boyfriend's aid in lifting the boy.
"Oh my," Jaebeom muttered in surprise as he and Mark gently lifted Minho, "he's way too light!"
Chan just whimpered in response, Bambam pulling him in for a hug. Once they were all ready, they left the practice room. Yugyeom sprinted ahead to get the next door, leading them into a lounge of sorts. (A/N: you know a teacher's lounge or like an office lounge with some couches, tables, a microwave, etc? it's like that)
"This will have to work," Jinyoung softly said to Mark and Jaebeom, "we need to take care of him soon or-"
Jinyoung was cut off by a sob from Chan. Everyone looked in surprise towards the usually strong leader, Bambam going straight to his side and Changbin wished he could as well, but he was holding all of Minho's stuff.
"Jinyoung, please don't imply what I think you're implying," Jackson said, covering his phone with his hand so the person on the call couldn't hear, "we're going to help him out as much as we can and help all of the kids out because they're all panicky right now. I'm surprised it took Chan this long to crack and I'm concerned that Changbin hasn't yet. Are you okay Binnie?" Everyone turned to look at Changbin.
"I think I'm just in shock hyungs."
Mark nodded, told him to put Minho's stuff down on one of the tables nearby, and then beckoned him closer giving him a hug. He could see Bambam doing something similar with Chan across the room. Mark turned his head towards Yugyeom and Jackson, the couple stood by the microwave as Jackson spoke on the phone. Mark guessed he was talking to Felix because he was speaking English and Felix has a very hard time with Korean when he's panicky.
"Yugy, Jack, go look for as many first aid kits as you can find without leaving the floor. Yugy bring them back and Jack, if the kids want to come they can, just warn them and meet them at the front doors. Youngjae, come help Changbin. Jaebeom, check Minho's pulse and breathing," Mark took a breath before continuing, "Changbin, keep your phone out in case we have to call a hospital. The only reason I haven't yet is paparazzi and sasaengs who would go crazy with something like this."
Meanwhile, across the room, Chan was slowly calming down with Bambam's help.
"I can't lose him Bammie, we can't lose him," Chan sobbed out, "if we lose him, you'll most likely lose us."
"Channie," Bambam gasped, trying not to cry himself, "I promise we won't let that happen."
"Never?"
"Never ever."
