BACKSTAGE - OT8

Suicidal Tendencies

I'm Sorry...

"We're gonna go back first. I'm sure Seungmin is suspicious of being home alone." Han announced.

"Okay, keep him company, we'll be there soon. Distract him but don't do anything yet. We don't want him too tired tomorrow." Chan replied.

"We'll try. Bye!" Han giggled at Lee Know's eye roll. Felix and I.N also waved goodbye.

Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, and Hyunjin would stay at the store, making sure they had everything planned for Seungmin's birthday tomorrow.

It'd be just a lowkey party, with them and some of his close friends. Lee Know wanted to cook for him tonight though, a big dinner, just for them to give him presents first.

The youngers were on the way home, wondering what Seungmin was doing that he hadn't texted or called them since earlier. Usually, he'd have rushed someone home by now, knowing they were up to something if they just disappeared before his birthday. He never liked anything that extravagant or even celebrating.

They're sure it was because of his family.

Upon pulling in the long road leading up to the house they could see a car passing by.

They didn't spare a thought as to who it might be, assuming it was one of Seungmin's friends.

"Honey, we're home!" Han shouted when they walked in. The door was unlocked. They were expecting him to be pouting on the couch since they texted that they'd be home in a few. But surprisingly he wasn't in sight.

"Seungmin!" Felix shouted next. They started looking around for him.

"You think he's in puppy space?" I.N asked when they couldn't find him.

He wasn't in the kitchen, his bedroom, bathroom, or playroom.

Seungmin!!

They heard Felix scream. But he sounded... horrified.

Han and I.N rushed into the master bedroom, following the light to the connected bath.

"Oh My God." I.N whispered.

Han screamed.

I.N rushed to help Felix pull the man out of the bath. Water was all over them but they didn't care. Han was frozen in shock.

"Seungmin! Wake up!" Felix shook his unmoving body harshly. "Can you hear me?" His lip started trembling, the longer they went without a reaction from the man.

I.N moved Felix back. He laid Seungmin flat on the ground and placed his ear to his chest. When he didn't hear a heartbeat or feel his chest rise, he jumped into action. "Felix call an ambulance." He placed his right hand over his left and interlaced his fingers over the center of Seungmin's chest. "Felix!" The man snapped out of his trance at the youngest yelling his name. "Call an ambulance, now!"

Felix dug his phone out of his back pocket, pressing the emergency button.

The operator asking so many questions was pissing him off, the longer he had to wait to ask for an ambulance.

I.N trying not to miss his count looked up to Han briefly. "Han, call the other's."

Han didn't move. He couldn't. He hadn't since he first walked in and saw Seungmin unmoving, under the surface of the water.
