Hoseok smiled even though his lip was bleeding. Namjoon was about to hit him again when Rowoon and Eui pulled him back.

"Leave me," He glared at both of them who looked at each other gulping.

Namjoon released himself from them harshly chasing Hosoek but Gaeun hugged him, stopping him.

"Guys, come on do something," Eui's voice brought the other brothers from their trance as they looked at Hoseok feeling hurt.

"Do something? We tried everything Eui, yet he still doesn't trust us," Yoongi scoffed.

"Why hyung? We told you not to come here anymore-" Taehyung stopped himself when Jin stepped forward pulling Namjoon back and motioning others to leave. Gaeun sighed before giving a small comforting smile to Hoseok who sighed defeated.

"If I tell you to stop acting, will you Oppa?" Eui asked making Jin stop. He looked back.

"I would," He said before his eyes turned to Hoseok, who stood there like a soulless body. 

"Even if it means to hurt me more to see you cry every night in a bar?" Eui said making the brothers turn back in shock.

"It might seem easy for you to stop him from dancing, but have you seen his suffering every night, when he is alone," Eui shook her head with a disappointed smile. 

"Have you seen him go crazy to the level he hurt himself?" Namjoon asked angrily, he was the closest to Hoseok.

"Have you seen him in the hospital bed looking dead?" Namjoon asked as the other sighed. 

They had seen it, the first few days when everyone was adopted, they saw how much Hoseok worked himself out just dancing. He had lost his parents and his only way out was them and dancing. He would go hours to the level where he would faint because of exhaustion. They helped him a lot and supported him in his passion but once it grew to become toxic they had to make him stop doing it.

"Yes, I have," Eui said surprising the others.

"I was thirteen admitted to the same hospital when I saw him brought in and treated right beside me, as that particular day, the hospital was full of patients, but you know what I saw the other days? Of how he would-" 

"Stop, it's enough, I'm sorry hyung, I'll not return this time, I promis-" But Hoseok was shut as Eui screamed.

"Shut up!" 

"Hoseok Oppa was drunk, every night in the bar I went to two years ago, every single day. He had told you guys that it was his friend's house but when you looked in at how he would disappear every night for weeks, his GPS was in fact in one of his friend's houses. But he wasn't there, he struggled to let out all the emotions he had held in himself, somewhere to let himself go, enjoy a little but everything seemed foreign to him," Hoseok tried to interrupt her but he was again shut off when she glared at him. She looked back at the brothers.

"You were there for him, I know you were but he lost his parents for God's sake. Jin Oppa, you could drown yourself in acting, Yoongi Oppa you could forget everything when the music plays, Namjoon Oppa you could rely on your books and just relieve the stress. Jimin, Tae, and Jungkook, you three roam around without a care in the world, but what about him? He isn't interested in acting or music or books. What should he do?"

"He almost died in my arms Eui, I don't want to see him like that again," Jin said, all the brothers were tearing up. Hoseok looked down silently sniffing as tears ran without a pause.

"But what if you got to know he was dying inside, every single day," Eui softly spoke. Namjoon broke into tears as he held his face in his palms trying to shut his cries. Gaeun stood afar with Rowoon looking at them with tears.
