Joshua was standing in the middle of the living room. He didn't know what to do. A harsh and collapsing feeling overwhelmed him, and still being tipsy wasn't helping. He placed his hand on his chest, scrunching his shirt up in his fist. He started huffing, catching his breath as he cried. Maybe it was the liquor that made him more emotional, but tears rushed down his face. He tucked his shoulders in as he fell into a squat.
Jeonghan was in his room. He had been up for a while, checking out early from the drinking /party. He thought he heard something strange, taking out one of his earbuds to be met with what sounded like sobbing. He jumped up, tiptoeing past Hoshi and Mingyu, who were passed out cuddling.
Jeonghan rushed into the living room, dropping to his knees to meet Joshua's level. Jeonghan seemed panicked, rushing to push Joshua's hands and hair away from his face.
"Joshua Joshua Joshua, why're you crying?? Hey, come on, let me see your face." Jeonghan pleaded.
Joshua fell back, dropping his head back as he continued to cry, unable to answer him.
"Joshua, please tell me why you're crying." Jeonghan sat beside Joshua, whipping his tears away from his face.
Joshua shakes his head, his tears falling into his lap. " I can't...I can't..." He repeats, rubbing his eyes.
"Why can't you, Joshua?"
"I can't say anything. He won't let me.." Joshua chokes on his breaths.
"Gosh, you're so drunk. Who? Joshua, who? Is someone hurting you?" Jeonghan places his hand on Joshua's chest, trying to help with his fickle breathing. "Come on, let's get out of here." Jeonghan picks him up by his arms, lifting him out of the dorm room.
Jeonghan walked with Joshua leaning against him for a while. Jeonghan wasn't sure where to bring Joshua, but it had to be somewhere private. Finally, they ended up at the end of a random hall. The rooms belonged to random staff, so Jeonghan knew they wouldn't bother them.
"Joshua, tell me. What's wrong?" Jeonghan laid next to Joshua, moving his head so it would be lying on his shoulder. Jeonghan held Joshua's hand fermly, sighing.
"I can't say anything. I promised to keep it a secret Jeonghan." Joshua finally spoke, gathering his emotions.
"Joshua, I need to know if someone is hurting you. You can trust I won't say anything to anyone. I'm Jeonghan, I'm your best friend Joshua." Jeonghan rests his head on Joshua's.
"I know you are, and I wan't to tell you so bad." Joshua huffs.
" Then tell me Joshua. Trust me. These past 10 years haven't been just for show." Jeonghan laughs.
"Haha- you're so right. That's literally what I've been trying to tell him." Joshua leans his head back against the wall behind him.
"Jeonghan this is going to sound super fucking crazy but I trust you wont freak out on me." Joshua closes his eyes.
"I will not freak out." Jeonghan leans his head back as well, raising his left hand and putting his right over his chest.

Seokmin sighed, covering his face with his hands as he dropped back down on the bed. He whipped his forearms over his eyes as he tried to keep himself from crying. He shuffled against the backboard of the bed, bringing his knees to his chest, really holding in his tears.
A knock on his door made him jump.
"Y-yes?!" He yells, jumping away from the bed to open the door.
"Dokyeom-ah."
