-I've never seen them fighting like that, Hyunjin said.

-It was pretty intense, wasn't it? Seungmin replied.

-Yeah. They were about to kill each other.

-Yeah, right when we entered the room. Convenient.

-Are you seriously saying they were faking it? Did you see the grip on Jisung's neck? It left marks, Seungmin! Isn't it too far?

-I'm just saying. I've always thought Minho hyung is number 1 protector of Jisung. Like Charlie's angels.

-He is my best friend. And maybe he is right. Just because we saw a girl, doesn't mean it only could have been him, Hyunjin said, feeling the guild raising.

-Keep that attitude and the people close to you will backstab you.

-Speaking from experience? Hyunjin raised an eyebrow.

-Minho!

-What? the latter looked behind and saw Chan sighing.

-I want an explanation.

-I didn't buy cocaine, for Fuck's sake! he slammed his fists in Chan's chest into an outburst.

Chan gripped his wrists and waited until Minho calmed down.

-Then what happened? he asked.

-The moment me and Jisung started officially being together, I dropped off the sleeping pills. It was too sudden. And now I am experiencing withdrawal. It sucks, ok? I want them even though I don't need them. It's hard to control and frustrating. But I swear I didn't buy cocaine or other drugs. I didn't take any.

-Ok. I believe you. You should have asked for help the moment you accepted you have this problem.

-I thought I can handle it on my own.

-Minho, you fought with Jisung. You screamed at him. Even when you weren't together you had never threatened him.

-It wasn't that bad, Minho shrugged.

-You tried to choke him, Minho! You have to understand one thing, Chan sat down on the floor, trying to explain to the younger. Jisung had a toxic ex, he was kicked out of the house, he worked in a bar where he saw people turning into monsters because of alcohol and drugs. He saw them all losing themselves with every pill and glass. Now he is afraid he's gonna lose you too. He feels helpless, because you are not allowing him to be there for you. Pushing him aside will just make him think he already lost you. Don't do this to him...

Minho listened carefully, his eyes glued to the floor.

When Chan finished, the younger nodded in silence.

-I don't want him to be scared of me, Minho mumbled.

-I think he is now, buddy, Chan patted Minho's back. But that's the thing about us. We get through it together. Like a family. Maybe not a traditional one, but hey... I have never seen a traditional family. Everyone has flaws. We just need to be honest with each other, Chan smiled and got up, dusting off his black see-through outfit.
