Chapter 1: Beach Trip?

Han Ji-sung's POV

It was a normal day in the dorms for a day off. The other members were doing their own things, but I didn't have the energy. I don't feel like doing a whole lot lately. There will be times I get sudden bursts of energy, but then I just feel sad and lonely even though I'm surrounded by my seven best friends 24/7. They all seem happy, so when I feel like this, I just hide in my room saying, "I don't feel good, You go ahead!" or "I'm tired, but you guys have fun!".

"Hey Ji-sung, what's up?" Min-ho says as he barges into my room.

"Nothing, I'm just tired. Did you need something?" I say, sitting up in bed.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the beach with Yong Bok, Hyunjin, and me?" He asks as he sits on the edge of the bed.

"Not today, but thanks for the invite."

"Are you okay? You know you can talk to me, right? Or any of us?" The concern in his voice kills me, and I don't want the members to worry about me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Since it means so much to you, I'll go. It might be nice hanging out with just the four of us."

"Okay, I'll let them know!"

"I'll be down shortly," What none of the others know is that I was diagnosed with Bipolar Depression and anxiety. It was never this bad before. But after the diagnosis, I spiraled. It's been 3 months, and I just can't seem to express myself to anyone. Especially not the other members. I don't want them to worry about me or feel disappointed in me.

Once he shuts the door, I get up and throw on my swim trunks and a beach sweater. Then I pack a small bag with sunscreen, my phone, earbuds, a camera, and a towel. When I'm done, I throw on a beanie and slip on my vans and sunglasses.

When I pass by the mirror, I stop, lift my shirt up, and pull my trunks down a little. I look at the newly formed scars and run my fingers over them. "Three weeks, Ji-sung. You've made it three weeks. Keep it up," I tell myself. I fix my clothes and head down the stairs to join Min-Ho and the lovely couple.


*While Ji-sung gets ready*

Lee Min-Ho's POV

"Hey, I got Ji-sung to go. But I'm worried about him. It was obvious he said he'd go, so he didn't have to answer any questions."

"We're all worried about him. He can sometimes get reclusive, but it's never been for this long before." Felix says sadly while he packs food for the beach trip.

"We need to be patient he will open up eventually, but until then, all we can do is try our best to be there for him. But I'll let the others know we are getting him out of the house for some fun." Hyunjin says before he starts typing on his phone.

"Thanks,"

When I hear a door close, I signal Felix and Hyunjin to act normal, and we all start laughing.

"Awww, Lixie is making our food how cute. His small hands can barely hold the knife!" I say jokingly as Ji-sung arrives in the kitchen.

Hyunjin is laughing, and Yong Bok is about to fight back, pointing the knife at me playfully until we all see him. He looks so cute and hot that I forget for a second that he's been acting off. We all just stare at him for what feels like forever.

"Uhum, if we're all ready, let's head out. we'll take Yong Bok's car," I say as I put an arm around Ji-sung's shoulder.

Ji-sung looks at me with a surprised expression.
