THE FAULT IN OUR STARS / MINCHAN (✓)

twelve

THIRD PERSON POV

The sound of music echoed through the walls of the house. It was loud, people could barely hear if someone is speaking and the boy started moving his body with the rhythm of the music despite having unbearable pain on his legs. Chan watched him from the doorway, as much as Minho tried to make his moves perfect, he failed. He couldn't even do a step properly.

Minho collapsed on the floor as he let out a loud whimper. Chan dashed towards him and picked him up hurriedly.

"What's wrong with you?" Chan raised his voice a bit.

"Everything is wrong, hyung! I c-can't dance anymore.." Minho's voice broke at the end of the sentence as tears were threatening to fall from his eyes. He can't accept that he won't be able to dance anymore. It was his passion he wanted to become a dancer eversince he was a little boy. When he achieved what he wanted he was told that he is diagnosed with cancer and he will have to operate his left leg to stop the disease from spreading any further.

"Minho, believe me you'll dance someday but for now please take care of yourself. You need to rest, baby" The older tried to sound as gentle as he could. His voice was concerned. It broke his heart too to see his boyfriend so vunerable. He also knew how much dance was meaningful to the younger, he noticed the happiness on Minho's face when he told him about him being an idol.

"Hyung! I don't want go be l-like this! I hate being like this! I'm unable to do several things" Minho knelt down on the ground and let himself cry. How can he not? His friends and doctors are asking him for chemotherapy but he denied.

"But you're hurting yourself, Min"

"I'm ready to feel this pain. I can bear it" The younger tried to get up from the floor as his boyfriend held him by his wrist and indicated him to stop. "Minho, please"

"Will I ever be able to be like I used to be?" The brunette asked with a hurtful look. "We don't know for now. But, I'm sure you'll be back to normal, if you rest." The older passed an assuring smile to the younger.

Chan was working on a song and he couldn't take his mind of his boyfriend. He kept thinking about what could the younger possibly do in his absence. Whether he's bored or wanting to go to his own house. Untill his thoughts got interrupted by the loud cheering that he heard from the four boys sitting on a bench for their main vocalist, Taehyun recording for their new title song.

"Taehyun, it should be a little more high" Chan told Taehyun about the highnote he was attempting to hit to which he earned a small nod from the said boy.

Taehyun again went in the studio to record and Chan interrupted him once again. "A little more effort" He passed a reassuring smile to the younger and Taehyun once again nodded in an understanding manner.

After few more attempts Taehyun was finally able to sound perfect for the track. The rest of the members recorded their verses and it went pretty well. They will need to record once again for the B-sides which they'll do the next day. For now they went for dance practice just after their choreographer came. Beomgyu didn't go with them instead he stayed with Chan.

"Hyung", Beomgyu slightly tapped the older on his shoulder to get his attention, who was working on the song they recorded. "Yes?"

"How is Minho hyung's health? Is he doing well? Is he taking a good care of himself?" The younger bombarded him with so many questions and he began to answer all of them one by one. Beomgyu was actually concerned about Minho's health. They may not work together anymore but it doesn't change the fact that they are still one of the closest people to Minho.
