*kindddd of filler chapter before the juicy stuff happens*

Seungmin didn't know what to do.

He was at a complete loss, as he dashed away from Wooyoung and ran all the way home. Once he got there, he didn't bother saying a word to the members, rushing past them and sliding down his bedroom door.

Shaking, he grabbed his notebook and scribbled out lyrics, not realizing he was crying until he noticed new markings and remembering that it doesn't rain indoors.

He wasn't upset with Wooyoung.

If anything, he was angry with himself.

How could he think of Lee Know when his date was right in front of him?

What was even worse was that he realized that he wasn't even close to being over Lee Know.

And Han?

Dude was head over heels.

Seungmin still couldn't think straight around the two. Besides the frustration he felt, when Lee Know would ruffle his hair or when Han would simply walk by, Seungmin would melt.

And boy did he hate it.

He desperately wished that Han would talk to him. He thought that after saying hello to him that he would start to open up when in fact, he looked more annoyed than before. Seungmin could tell that Han knew he wasn't over Lee Know. Han could see the secret stares, the blush that would dust his cheeks, and the way his body stiffened when he got near.

So it only made things worse when the choreography for their new song caused them to interact.

"Hey, I don't think this is right, " Seungmin stated, staring at Han's hand which grabbed Seungmin's hair instead of his hand.

"Slamming someone against the wall and practically begging their boyfriend to fuck you isn't right either, " he whispered lowly, tightening his grip on Seungmin's hair.

"Okay, but your hurting me. How many times do I have to apologize to make you forgive me? I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore. And I'm seeing someone remember? I'm not trying to hit on your boyfriend , " Seungmin said, grabbing onto the other's shoulders in hopes of calming him down.

He only tensed, his grip tightening further. "Shut the fuck up. I know you don't like Wooyoung like that, you liar. You're leading him on and it's wrong. And for your information, trust is easily lost but it's really hard to gain it back so get your nasty ass hands of-"

"Guys?" Chan asked.

Seungmin and Han looked up to see the rest of the group and the choreography teacher staring at them in confusion. They weren't in formation. In fact, they seemed to be at the end of the song, all turning around from their spots to look at the two in question.

Seungmin didn't realize that they were practically on the ground now, grabbing the shit out each other. Han shoved him away harshly and stood up before storming out of the room, Lee Know following in pursuit, not listening when Chan called after him.

Tears welded in Seungmin's eyes, knowing that Han was right. He was leading Wooyoung on. And he would probably never be as close to Han as he was before.

A new feeling stirred in his stomache.

Guilt.

Trying to comfort the visably shaking boy, Jeongin rested his hand on his shoulder. Seungmin gave him one look through his watery eyes before standing up and pushing past him. This time, Chan followed in pursuit.

"I can't- I can't do this anymore Chan. Leave me alone. I don't want to be here-"

"Seungmin stop. It's okay. You're okay, " Chan said, rubbing the younger's back. They were currently outside on the front steps of the building, holding each other tightly. "These things take time. He's going to forgive you. I promise. "

"No, you don't understand. He's not ever going to forgive me. I think starting to go out with Wooyoung was a mistake. I keep telling myself that the more we see each other, I'll start to see him as more than I friend but I can't. Han's right. I'm leading him on, Chan. And I hate it. I don't want to be that type of person but I don't know what t- I dont-" Seungmin started bawling, clinging go Chan's garments. "I wish I could go back in time and redo things. I don't like the way I'm treating you guys, I- I don't even like myself-" Seungmin choked on his last words, shrinking into nothing.

Chan felt himself tearing up, a few spilling down his face. He had a feeling that Seungmin wasn't fully reciprocating Wooyoung's feelings. And he could most certainly tell that he still liked Lee Know and Han. Chan wished he could do something, anything, to pull Seungmin out of the dark whole he had fell through.

Instead, he held the other in his arms, as tight as humanly possible, making sure to not let the other feel even the slightest gap between them.

"Seungmin, I need you to listen to me, " Chan said through his tears that began to stream. "I love you so so so much and nothing will ever change that. We all need you here. There is no 'Stray Kids' without you. And Han will eventually forgive you. He's not the type to hold grudges. With Wooyoung, you just have to tell him. It doesn't have to be soon but you should tell him when you're ready. Just make sure you don't lead him on. I know how it feels and it doesn't feel great. But this is all on your own terms so-"

"What do you mean, you know how he feels? Who lead you on? " Seungmin managed to speak and lift his head a bit to look at the older.

"I mean- well, i-"

BOOM!

It seemed as if the universe had other plans as the thunder roared, rain instantly beginning to pour down. But even though, they were drenched within seconds, neither one of them let go, holding onto each other throughout the storm...
