It's been a few days since the little situation with Hyunwoo. And he was panicking on the inside literally and metaphorically. The others didn't realize it but one member did, Youngsoo. Before heading to their dance practice, the leader goes up to him and pulls him into a free room.
"Hyun? Are you okay? You seem kind of out of it when we were in the van." Youngsoo have one hand on his shoulder and the other rubbing his left hand. He flinched before the other's hand touched him. "Um.. yeah.. yeah. I'm okay." avoiding eye contact with the older member. Youngsoo sighed and hugs him gently.
"Please let me know, if there's something wrong. I'll try to help the best that I can." He whispered while holding onto him. Hyunwoo hesitated for a moment and then hugged him back with a small nod. After a moment, the leader returned to the rest of the members while Hyunwoo took a few minutes before heading back. He hears a voice that he grown to familiar to.
'You know he's getting closer to finding out about us.' The voice pointed out, he sighs ruffling his hair. "I get it Vivian. I'll have a talk with them soon." He felt himself clouded in his own thoughts, he didn't realize that he was zoning out until he seen Vivian next to him and he panics.
"Shit shit shit. This can't be happening now!" Hyunwoo tries to ground himself but he keeps on loosing grip. Vivian sees him struggling and decides to help him. 'It's okay. Let me help.' They pushes the other back to the front and he started coughing trying to catch his breath. "T.. Thanks Vi." He softly smiled which earned him a chuckle from the other. 'Anytime.' Vivian at first was going to leave but decided to co-front since he'll be a gasping mess.
Hyunwoo goes back to the practice room and greets them with a warm smile. "Sorry about that guys, I had to answer a super important call." He walks to the boys, "So which one are we working on?" Youngsoo was in complete silence, he knew there was something up with Hyunwoo but didn't want to say anything. It wasn't the time nor place to do it.
4:27 pm
Hyunwoo, Youngsoo and Yubin were the only ones in the dorm since the rest of the members had schedules. The older couldn't take his mind off of what happened earlier and his curiosity got the better of him. After Youngsoo and Yubin finished playing a game he realized that Hyunwoo disappeared. He started to head to their shared room but stopped since he heard mumbling. The older member opened the door slightly to see Hyunwoo on his bed staring at the wall with his phone in his hand.
"Hyunwoo? There you are! I was wondering where you were at." He smiled plopping on the bed which causes the younger's head to fall down. Youngsoo goes from the bottom of the bed to the top in a matter of seconds to hold Hyunwoo. "Hey~ Earth to Hyun?" Straight silent.
Meanwhile, Vivian and Hyunwoo for a few hours tries to figure out how to explain everything. Until someone that they unexpectedly breaks up their little chat. 'Um... I think someone is with the body...' Haneul announced, Hyunwoo froze for a moment and turned to face Haneul but he disappeared. "Fuck!" The body's eyes dialed when Haneul was forced into the front. He begins to cough but felt someone holding him and he pushes the person off of him. Which leaves Youngsoo confused on the floor.
Their eyes locked onto each other. He goes underneath the covers but the older uncovers just his head and strokes his head softly. "Hyunwoo?" Youngsoo asked, the other shakes his head. A 'hm' escapes from the leader's lips. "Haneul?" The other smiled a little and nod pulling Youngsoo back on the bed. Right when the older member got on the bed he asked "Can I hold you?" Which Haneul smiled, 'Yes. You don't have to ask everytime.' He embraced Youngsoo and rest his head on the leader's shoulder.
Youngsoo chuckled a bit, stroking his back in circles. "Can I ask you a question? It's been on my mind for a while." Haneul nods, "What did Hyunwoo mean when he said that there's something that he needed to tell us?" Right after Youngsoo finished asking, the other let go of the embrace.
'He didn't tell you... um. Okay. So...' Youngsoo hold onto his hands, "It's okay. You can trust me." He looks down at their hands and looked back up at Youngsoo. It's weird he feels a nostalgic sense of comfort in the other eyes. He took a deep breath, 'So.. Hyunwoo has Dissociative Identity Disorder for short DID... It's a lot of stuff and trauma that goes with it. He didn't want to feel like a burden to the gro-' He was cut off by a sudden tight hug from Youngsoo, "He shouldn't feel like a burden at all. It's okay I'm not mad at him at all I just wanted to know just in case something happens and I would know how to handle it."
Haneul sits there with widen eyes which began to fill with tears. 'We're- We're not used to t- this.' Youngsoo kisses the middle of his forehead, "me and the other members love every single one of you so much." He responds with a big warm smile which causes Haneul to sob. After a while of sobs and rocking, he calms down and begins to explain everything.
'Okay. There is five of us. Hyunwoo, Vivian, Hyejin, Dante and me Haneul. This is the only ones that we know of. But we each have a role Hyunwoo being the main host/core of the body. My role is Apparently Nornal Part or ANP. Which that is a whole can of worms by itself. But to put it shortly I help out with Hyunwoo with basic things and music stuff. That's how I met you in the studio.' He pauses to see if Youngsoo is paying attention and he's full attention is on Haneul, he feels his face turning red.
'Um... Please tell me when to stop. There are times I do ramble on a lot.' He looks away covering his mouth but Youngsoo removed his hand from his mouth. "It's okay. You can continue."
8:37 pm
After a few hours Youngsoo hears the rest of the members come in and he looks back at Haneul. "Wanna try and finally meet the others? I know they would be excited to know, especially Soshi." Haneul nodded with sparkles in his eyes, the pair got up and heads towards the rest of the guys.
Youngsoo got everyone together and started explaining what DID was and how Hyunwoo is diagnosed with it. After explaining everything, the rest of the guys latch onto Haneul like he was the best Hello Kitty plush of all time. He tried to listen into the others conversation but his vision begin to blur and he can feel himself leaving the front. He sees both Vivian and Hyunwoo, he walks towards them and smiles. 'Told you guys that they were going to be okay with us.' He hugs both of them before going to his room and goes to sleep. Causing Hyunwoo to the front, he coughs a bit and wipes away the tears from his face.
The other members look back to him, "Hyun?" Seo asked rubbing his back. Hyunwoo nods, everyone smiled and Youngsoo locked eyes with him.
"Welcome back Hyun. Gotta update you on a few things."
