  It felt strange being in the dorm after the previous night. After filling his empty, growling stomach with a sandwich, Seungmin made his way to his room. However, he didn't expect Lee Know and Bang Chan to be there sitting in his bed.

  Embarrassed, Seungmin immediately turned around but Chan being faster than him, quickly grasped him by the arm and dragged him down to sit next to the other.

  Seungmin refused to make eye contact and cringed at the silence that was taking over the three. Not expecting to be trembling, Seungmin sat on top of his hands.

  "We clearly have a lot to talk about, " Chan started.

This is it.

  Seungmin shut his eyes tightly and tensed, preparing himself for the next few words. The ones that would declare his departure from the group.

  "Something is clearly upsetting you. Obviously, we don't want you to be upset and not just because it's affecting the rest of the group. This needs to be sorted out. I don't want to think about what might happen if it doesn't... "

  Seungmin looked up at Chan. He didn't think that he would be so considerate. He was expecting him to shame him and call him a disgrace. With a shaky sigh, Seungmin looked around the room. He definitely didn't want to talk about his reason for acting up but he knew he desperately didn't want to leave the place and people he called home.

  "I... I li-I really like you, Lee Know, " Seungmin mumbled, turning to Lee Know who was on the other side of Chan.

  Slowly, Lee Know blinked a couple of times, looking at him with wide eyes. "Minnie... I don't know what to say. If I would have known, I would have treated you differently. But you know-"

  "Yeah, yeah, I know. You're head over heels with squirrel boy. And... I understand. I'm not going to try and get in the way... I will admit... It's really painful but... After knowing how badly I hurt you and... How I hurt Han... I will do whatever it takes to get over you, " Seungmin stated.

  Chan stood up and silently walked out as Lee Know seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

  "Oh, and I want to apologize. For being a complete bitch. I treated you and Han horribly. And I regret it so so much, " Seungmin said, his voice trembling.

  "I don't know if I can exactly forgive you yet, " Lee Know started and Seungmin nodded, looking at the ground, expecting this. "But, " Lee Know continued. Seungmin looked up in confusion. "I know you would never do something like this on purpose. I know what type of person you are and I'm sure Han will eventually come to his senses and know too. So, I will... Consider forgiving you, " Lee Know smiled shyly.

  Seungmin's lips trembled and he launched himself into the older's arms. Before he knew it, he balling like a baby, something he refused to do in front of others. He usually found it embarrassing because he was more emotional than most but all he could think about at that moment was that everything was going to be okay.

"Wait... Does Han... Hate me? "

  Nervously, Lee Know chuckled and looked away. "Uh... Well about that... He doesn't hate you but he definitely has some rather... Strong feelings towards you at the moment. "

♡

Strong was a huge understatement.

Han was to say the least, furious.

  He couldn't even look in the younger's direction without showing the hatred in his eyes. It was like literal smoke was rising from the other.

  Seungmin slowly sank down in his chair as he picked at his food. He was starving but with Han glaring at him like that, Seungmin had suddenly lost his appetite.

  The others tried to calm Han down which consisted of Han holding, back rubs, and trying to engage him in conversation but it was no use.

  Seungmin hadn't realized how badly he was shaking. He could barely pick up his fork without looking like he was having a seizure. Beads of sweat decorated his forehead and tears threatened to fall from his eyes. He was so... Uncomfortable.

  Chan who was next to him noticed and tried to comfort him by cautiously grabbing his hand. Chan tried to demonstrate breathing in and out and Seungmin slowly started to feel better until Han abruptly got up from the table and stormed off.

  All of Chan's efforts failed when Seungmin tried to get up and follow him but Changbin stood up to stop him. "Don't follow him. He needs some space. "

Seungmin didn't really get that...
