*sorry :') *

It was that very same night when it happened.

Seungmin had just got back from vocal practice with his private teacher and took a shower.

He looked at himself in the mirror. He wondered why he looked the way he did. He was always told that his smile was weird. And looking at himself, he knew why. That's probably the reason why Lee Know didn't like him either. With a shaky sigh, he picked up his toothbrush, lathered some toothpaste on the bristles and tried to brush away the smile he hated so much.

Of course, Seungmin's plan was to confront Lee Know the next day. But it didn't really go that way...

He couldn't remember how long he was laying there, still on his bed, but when he checked the time, it was already 2 AM. Delirious, Seungmin sat up and looked around. The moon lit up the dark room. Maybe that's why he couldn't sleep. But deep down, he knew the real reason. He couldn't get his conversation with Jeongin and Chan out of his head. He had to tell Lee Know.

No matter how much he twisted or turned, Seungmin couldn't clear his mind. Even though he could barely keep his eyes open, he couldn't calm himself. He wondered if Lee Know was awake.

Exhausted, Seungmin got up and crept down the hallway to Lee Know's room. Recently, they split up into two dorms based off of sleep schedule. Meaning Seungmin was paired with Jeongin, Felix, and thankfully, Lee Know.

He quickly tiptoed down the hallway, desperately wanting to get it over with. He prayed Lee Know was awake. He crept up to the door and placed his ear at the door. Taking the rustling he heard set a signal that he was aawak, he flung open the door.

"Lee K-oh my gosh I'm so-you know what-i-okay yeah, bye, " Seungmin quickly turned and ran with a red and wet face when he saw Lee Know on top of Han, doing...it.

It was the last straw.

"Oh SHIT-, " Lee Know and Han both exclaimed. Panicking, they both grabbed the closest thing that was remotely related to clothing which meant a pair of boxers for Lee Know and the unclean blanket for Han. They chased after Seungmin who was in the hallway that lead to the back door.

With shaky and heavy breaths, Seungmin struggled to open the back door. Cursing, he banged on it and let out a choked sob.

"Seungmin, I'm so so sorry, I didn't think you would come tot talk to me at 2 AM, " Lee Know reached out and grabbed the youngers shoulders in efforts to calm him down.

"Let go! " Seungmin howled, ripping himself away. "Stay away, whore. "

"Seungmin, what the hell? I seriously don't know what's up with you. What did I possibly do to make you so upset? Did I say something? I don't understand. Why are you so mad at me for wanting to sleep with my boyfriend?! " Lee Know's voice raised.

Han stood back in fear. He had never seen the two fight before and it scared him. Gripping onto the white sheets, he cowared behind Lee Know. He looked back to see Felix and Jeongin peeking there heads into the hallway.

"What's going o-" Felix was cut off with a loud and very frustrated yell.

"For the love of GOD Lee Know, you are so dense. I'm not fucking mad at you, " Seungmin yelled.

Lee know flinched, "Then wh-"

"I'm mad at Han. In fact, I'm pissed. I'm so fucking pissed, I want fucking rip his fucking hair out! "

It went silent. Han froze. Slowly, Lee Know looked back at him who's eyes we're wide with surprise. "What?? Me?? What did I do?? "

"If you cared, you'd know, bitch, " Seungmin snapped.

In the background, Jeongin was busy calling Chan to head over as quickly as possible.

"HEY. Don't you dare talk to him like that, " Lee Know glared at Seungmin, stepping closer to him.

"Bro, what did I even do? " Han asked Inoccently, not realizing he just made it 10 times worse.

"Oh please. You're so unbelievably stupid. I can't even fathom how stupid you are. "

"Bro what the hell-"

That's when Lee Know punched him.

You could hear a pin drop.

Seungmin's throat clenched, staring up at Lee Know who's eyes almost looked black in the darkness. His heart swelled with pain. And out of nowhere, cutting through the silence, out of Seungmin came a low, deep, and heart-wrenching sob.

It was at this moment, Chan flung open the front door and stormed over, but was immediately frozen when he saw what was happening.

No one knew what to do. The hallway filled with the lonely sobs of Seungmin. The noise filled the whole house and even the other dorms were where the other members were busy working on projects. The noise filled the streets and the houses on the streets. It filled the town and the next town and eventually, the whole earth.

It was like nothing they had ever heard.

And it was horrible.

Seungmin's heart screamed in pain. He gripped onto it, wanting so desperately to rip it out. He wanted nothing to do with love, with Han, with Lee Know, or even with himself. He absolutely hated himself. He hated his smile, his laugh, the way he looked in the mirror, the way he talked and the way he sang, the way he walked. He hated all of it. He hated that he loved Lee Know. And he hated the hate he had for one of his dearest friends.

Hesitantly, Han reached forward.

What an awful mistake.

"Don't, " he choked out, struggling to get any sound other than his sobs out, "Touch. Me. "

With a horrifying look in his eyes, Seungmin looked up at the older, and grabbed his arm and neck, squeezing as hard as he possibly could, but not realizing he was doing so.

Han screamed out in pain, tears escaping his eyes. Before Lee Know could pull him back, Seungmin had already slammed Han against the wall and pushed back the others who were calling out to him in protest.

Lee Know and the others quickly ran to Han's side, as he screamed, holding his neck as the back of his head started to bleed from the impact of the wall.

But no one ran after Seungmin.
