Just know that English isn't my native language, I'm sorry if there are mistakes. Hope you like it.

Taedong was sad. As always, he would say. In fact, he never spent a happy day after the whole TVL drama. His friends would try to cheer him up, taking him to eat out and even taking him on a trip to a beach a few hours away from Seoul. Nothing worked. He kept in touch with his produce 101 friends, and of course with jbj's members. They did tried to cheer the poor Taedong up but he knew that they were discussing about debuting with all their different agencies and he couldn't do anything, because he was left with no agency, just like a stray cat was left homeless. All of them were getting busier and busier as their debut date slowly became closer. Taedong couldn't be mad, right ? He shouldn't at least. It wasn't their fault if he couldn't debut, it was entirely his. If he wouldn't have uploaded this stupid instagram post, he would be living in a wonderful, even luxurious, dorm with his closest friends from the survival. But here he was, sleeping at one friend's place one day and at another the next day because he didn't want to become a burden.

The thing is, today was different. JBJ did their LieV, and of course Taedong watched it. He saw how the members kept their promise to « keep a spot » for him. He saw how the spot where they put Taehyun's birthday cake was actually meant to be for someone to lay on. He saw all of that, but he couldn't help but feel even sadder than he was before. He wanted to meet up with them. Cuddle with them the way Kenta cuddled with Donghan during the live. Make fun of Hyunbin with the members. Have someone patting his arm and telling him everything is going to be alright. Sadly, all he had right now was his eyes to cry and a hand to bite in order to reduce the noises of his sobs.

The live was coming to an end when Taedong though of something. He knew the boys would meet up after the LieV and practice for their (oh so-soon-)debut. He also knew, from texting the members, that they usually practice in a small room at YGK+ (because at this time, there's barely anyone at YGK+ and like that, they wouldn't get scolded for putting the music a little too loud. Taedong grabbed a bag, threw an apple and a bottle of water inside, put a jacket on and went out of his friend's. He would meet them today. He should meet them today or else he'll go crazy. Crazy of all the pain and sadness he was going through. It was raining pretty hard that night, but Taedong didn't care, not even a single bit. « It's going to be a long walk from here, but I can do it. I have to do it. » he kept telling himself. Ever since the whole TVL story, he was somehow scared of cabs and all this kind of transports. So yeah, he would go to YGK+, but he would go there all by himself, like a big boy. He didn't running even though that would have been faster (obviously) because he knew he was way too weak to do so, a banana being all he has eaten today. When he arrived in front of the building he was soaking wet from the rain (or his tears, he had no idea at this point, trembling, he had a runny nose and all the good stuff but he was there. The front door was locked, as expected so Taedong went to check the back door which was, thanks god or else he would have probably have died from hypothermia, open. Taedong rushed inside and looked in E V E R Y S I N G L E practice room of the first floor, same went for the second and third floor. He finally heard some music when he reached the fourth floor of the building, obviously they have gotten there before him. One room, another room, another room, and finally THE room.

All eyes turned to the same direction when the boys heard the door being slammed open. To their surprise it wasn't a staff member that was here to tell them to go home but Kim Taedong. Their very own Kim Taedong. Kneeling on the floor. Crying. Soaking wet. Not even able to raise his head up. And even slimmer than during produce 101 (when all of them had gained weight, hell Donghan even gained about 5kg after the show). « Taedong ! Kim Taedong ! What are you doing here ? » Taehyun asked but received nothing but sobs as anwser. Taehyun being the leader that he is went next to the younger and bend his knees in order to be closer to the boy but still far enough so that he wouldn't felt pressured or anything like that. « Taedong ! Do you hear me ? », the younger nodded. « Good, now tell us what you are doing here ? At this hour ? Like that ? » he continued. « I... hm... I... » Taedong sighed, « 've missed you. I came here, and it was raining and I felt so alone and... ». Taehyun put his hand on Taedong's back. Sanggyun turned is head to the four other boys, who were staring at their leader. « Guys, go and put everything back in our bags. I don't think we will be able to get anything good out of this night. We're too tired and well... Go, just go and wait for us in the hall. Take that Kenta, you can buy a little something at the entrance if you want. » he said as he saw tears coming to Hyunbin's eyes. The boys did what they were told to do, and soon Sanggyun was left alone with Taehyun and Taedong. « Taedong, should we take you at the dorm ? Or maybe you want us to take you back at your place ? » one of them asked. « 'don't have anywhere to stay. » Taedong said, voice filled with sadness. « Then I guess you're coming with us tonight, right ?» Sanggyun stated.
