"G-Guys... I-I'm s-sorry... I'm being a-abused...."

Hyuk's head was pounding from the alcohol he was forced to ingest. Despite that, even the alcohol couldn't help him digest the sentence that came from the crying Xen. Between each breath came a gasp for air, his lips trembled as he tried to surface the words he had been meaning to say. His face was as red as a tomato, but mostly from the cold atmosphere outside.

The members surrounded him, trying to comfort him in any way they could. First and foremost, they needed to figure out what had happened prior to Xen returning home. Everyone fired questions at him hoping to get a response, all it did though was overwhelm him.

"I-I can't t-tell you who i-it is-" He stammered, trying to not to give away too much detail as to what happened.

The members all had mixed emotions: some were worried, whereas others were pissed off at the secrecy. One person in particular was Yang Hyuk. Although the victim and the idol didn't know each other 'Pre-OX', he still hated secrets between him and the other members. He had always strived to be the one the members could find solace in.

"Lee Jinwoo!" He finally spoke up. All ten other members went silent at his sudden reaction. "You better tell us who it is, or else we can't help," Hyuk tried to reason.

An audible breath was taken by Xen before he came to his senses. "I-It was... the woman..."

The dorms fell silent. No further questions were asked about who the suspect was. That's all the members needed to know. Jaehan coughed loudly, which distracted the members from wandering further into their thoughts and memories. All eyes were awkwardly on Jaehan now. A hesitant demeanor is all he could display before he was saved by Taedong's comment.

"Did the manager hurt you, too?" The twenty-five year old inquired. This question left everyone feeling uneasily. Not because of the thought, but because it had already been true for everyone.

Hwichan's voice, which had been lost in the crowd, finally resurfaced in time to pitch his curiosity. "Can we clear something up?" He asked without asking. "Have we all been going through this with the three of them? The manager, his wife, and the CEO's BS?"

Everyone fell unnaturally silent. This left a half-confirmation of his question. However, the silence caused friction in Hwichan's mind, and urged him to speak up again. "Yah! Come on, we all have, haven't we?"

Finally, a reaction was provoked from everyone. Nodding their heads, the members officially clarified, later looking down on the ground to avoid each other's gaze. The embarrassment and knowledge of such events was like nothing they had ever experienced.

"Guys. We need to do something. I've seen the way the manager and CEO talks to everyone here. We all know the crap Seonghee has been doing to us. I've seen you guys... during practice... it's obvious. It's happened to all of us," Sebin made an effort to reason with everyone.

There was a brief moment of silence. Then one bold voice announced from the corner, "We should sue," This left the rest of the members shocked. Not once had our ever-so-quiet Jehyun ever said something so bravely with so much seriousness and confidence before. They could all tell, he was being dead serious.

A huff escaped Junghoon. "All in favor say 'For X',"

"C'mon Junghoon. That's not fair to use our fans as a decision breaker." Kevin retorted passively.
