Hongjoong pov:

Everyone is finally gathered in front of me, I take a deep breath to think how I should start this. "So, everyone... I think it's about time that we sort all of this out. We shouldn't be having secrets between us, and I can see that clearer than ever after all the fighting and crying recently." I say, seeing everyone give a small nod in agreement.

"Well to start, obviously Hwa hasn't been in the best of ways recently, especially due to some of our actions. But I feel as though if we all know and dedicate ourselves to help him we will know what not to do from now on. And if we do, do anything that's a trigger we know how to correct it." I cripticly say, now seeing with Yunho, Yeosang and Jongho giving confused looks.

Seonghwa pov:

I feel like I haven't stopped crying. I look up and I can see Jongho looking at something as he cradles me in his arms. All I know is that we've moved to the sofa from my room after Jongho found me regressed. I shuffle around to see everyone at the sofas and Hongjoong is standing talking. All I can hear him say is about me and how they need to talk about why I've been acting how I have. I shuffle more in Jongho's arms. How does Hongjoong know? He couldn't surely? I need to say something.

------------------------------------------

Hongjoong pov:

As I go to carry on I see Hwa shuffling in Jongho's arms. "Hyung, calm down it's okay" Jongho says softly to a now upright Seonghwa, I can see the panic in his eyes. "Hwa...," I walk over to him so I can give him a soothing pat, "You don't need to worry, everything is going to be okay, I'm going to explain everything love." The nickname just slipped out, but it seems to calm him even if he is still sniffling. "If you need to say something you can" I smile softly at him and Jongho keeps him close so he stays calm. 

"Hyung I'm confused, what is going on with him? Is it bad?" Yunho now worriedly enquires. "No, no, it's not bad. It's actually the opposite, it's just the secret of it that's made him stressed out more." The three that don't know, give me an even more confused look. God, I really don't want to explain this. What if they do react badly, I don't want that for Hwa.

I think Wooyoung notices that I'm getting nervous and comes over. "Hongjoong, hyung, it's okay. They are going to understand. I'll stay here with you while you explain" he smiles, now calming my nerves. I let out one final breath, and start to actually explain.

"So, please keep in mind, we love Hwa and we will not judge him for this." Everyone nods, confusion still in the air, "Hwa has been acting the way he has because we have been triggering him negatively and he's been trying to stop the side of him that helps, which as made it worse. And that side is his little side." I explain.

"Hyung, what do you mean? How do you know this? Did he tell you?" Yeosang, is the one to ask all the questions. I'm getting flustered now. "Hwa is a little." I look beside me and Wooyoung has took over. Thank god. This will be better for everyone.

Wooyoung pov:

I see that Hongjoong is starting to struggle with explaining. I know he's done research since we explained and he has been very supportive with Mingi but it has only been a week. There's still lots to get used too, so I begin to explain, relief fills my hyung's eyes.
