Why | EXO

Tears

-Xiumin's POV-

And that's when I hung up.

I can't let him take Sehun away. He's ours.

"What's wrong?" Baekhyun decided to break the tension.

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

"Are you sure?" Kai, don't push it.

"Yeah, of course. I have to go somewhere for a while. Cover for me."

I can't tell them.

They'll rip him.

"Xiumin, I wanted to speak to you in private, if that's okay."

Baekhyun, he's very weird.

I wonder.

"Yeah, of course, let's go to my room."

-Sehun's POV-

What's the definition of love?

No one ever told me what it was.

Is it that warm and fluttery feeling you get when you look at someone?

Is it that feeling that makes you want to crawl into a dark corner and stay there forever?

I'm quite unstable, you see.

I wanted to come here so I could see his sweet face again.

Now that I'm here, though, I don't know what to do.

He's completely different than I remember.

I guess freedom can change someone.

I said yes, but I was so caught up in the moment.

What the hell did I do?

What the actual fuck did I do?

I completely abandoned the millions of fans that rely on me, the members that took care of me for years and I'm betraying them?

Although, if they loved me...

Wouldn't they understand?

- Minseok's POV-

I can't let him go; he'll destroy everything in his path.

"Min, can I talk to you in private?"

Why does he look at me like that?

It feels like he's glaring into my soul...

"What's up?"

"I just wanted to know if you were okay, you look kind of scary."

"I do? Sorry, my mind is everywhere right now."

"No need to apologize, but if I may ask, who was on the phone?"

He looks at me like I murdered his entire family and sent him the body parts.

"No one important, don't worry." His expression told another story.

"I don't know, Min, that seemed quite important. You even lost it."

I want to comfort him.

Should I...?

"..." He seems in distress.

He sniffs.

"Min?"

"I was supposed to protect him. I was supposed to protect for all of them. And I didn't! We're down to 9 members because I couldn't keep fucking SM away from them!"
