Heaven In You [ JeongCheol ]

CHAPTER 1

6 years ago

It was a hectic schedule like always for them. Firstly, discussions then practices, going to one place from another had drained them.
They were in the dance practice room, tired after practicing their choreo for about 7 times in a row. Some of them lying on the floor while some were busy on their phones.

Suddenly, their leader stood up infront of them to tell them about the upcoming events. "Hey listen up everyone! You all did well today and I hope tomorrow you'll do even better..." Seungcheol said as he clapped his hands.

"But one thing I have told yall before but you don't listen...you shouldn't go down the stage to interact with everyone, you might hurt yourself, do it from the stage...understood?" He continued after which the performance team leader scoffed.

"You are not our dad hyung! So, please don't tell us what to do!" He said as he stared at Seungcheol with hatred. The two were not in good terms these days and the members were not sure what was up.

"Guys...let's not start again okay...?" Jeonghan said sensing the tense situation. Little arguments were common between the two but this seemed different. Seungcheol sighed heavily "I don't understand why are YOU being like this Kwon Soonyoung!?" He slightly raised his voice to which the others in the room flinched.

Soonyoung scoffed again as he stood up to face the older not showing a bit of fear. " YOU should know that yourself..." he said " If not, should I remind you!?" He continued, sarcastically.

Seungcheol stood there wide eyed as he processed the situation. He, himself didn't knew what the younger was implying. "What are you trying to say Kwon Soonyoung...?" He asked, his voice dangerously low.

"Hah...calling me by my full name won't scare me you know that...You should know what you did!" Hoshi said as he chuckled bitterly. Everyone's attention was on the two arguing before them.

"Listen there Hoshi-ya...I can't understand for what you are holding a grudge against me..so tell me clearly..ok? Let's talk it out..." Seungcheol said as he tried to calm down and faced the younger.

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING ACT INFRONT OF ME CHOI SEUNGCHEOL!!" Soonyoung shouted releasing the anger within him. Everyone stood surprised at the younger's outburst at the older, even Seungcheol himself.

"YOU ARE A FREAK! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE HUMAN DECENCY! I WONDER HOW I EVEN ADMIRED YOU! FOR SURE YOUR MOTHER-" And a loud slap.. Hoshi held his now swollen cheek as he looked at the one who slapped him
-Seungcheol...Everyone gasped as they saw the scene infront of them.

"Calm the fuck down Soonyoung!" He shouted and that's when his heart broke as Soonyoung started crying. "You-you ne-never con-considered me yo-your brother...ho-how cou-could you do tha-that?..." he said between sobs.

Seungcheol stood there as he realised that he had raised his hand on Soonyoung. He nor anyone raised hands at each other even after big arguments. "Hoshi-ya I-I didn't mean to..." he said as walked closer but Hoshi stepped back from him. Seungcheol heart ached and he felt guilty for hurting his little hamster.

The atmosphere was stiff almost suffocating, Hoshi's sobs were the only sound in the whole room. None of them dared to move from their place, scared what would happen if they did.

"Yo-you nev-never und-understood me hy-hyung..." Hoshi said while he chuckled slightly, hurt evident in his voice. He turned around and started to leave the room "Practice's over guys, you can leave" he said. Seungcheol wanted to stop him but something was stopping him to do so.

Joshua patted Seungcheol's shoulder reassuring him that he'll take care of Hoshi. After which he followed Soonyoung, running after him.

Seungcheol massaged his temples and sat on the cold floor, not sure what was happening. Jeonghan saw this and sighed, he told the others to go back to the dorms. Firstly they were hesitant but soon agreed as they knew their oldest needed some time alone in peace.
