Our Tragedy {SEVENTEEN FIC}

Fall

Minghao throws himself on the floor, his muscles ache and he's covered in sweat. The small dance studio regains its emptiness once more as the last song fades out, leaving the Chinese male wrapped tightly in solitude's embrace. His heavy breathing soon echoes, his orbs staring lifelessly at the ceiling. A sudden flash of memory shakes him, he saw two males crouching by his side with smiles.

"Hau-ah!! Come on, break is over!!"

One of them says, he shot up in sitting position reaching out to them, hoping and praying will all his might to reach them but alas it was just his mind playing tricks on him. He looks around, they're no longer there. Whimpers could be heard coming from him, Minghao flings himself back to the floor with a loud thud. They were supposed to be together forever, they sealed a promise, a promised they broke in the end.

Minghao curls up into a ball gripping a ring that he wears as a necklace around his neck, he dares not to ever wear it on his pinkie finger ever again, fearing it'll bring pain to him. It's been months, 6 months to be exact. He is still unwilling to let it go, how could he? They were his friends, his family, his whole world, his everything. On the non-mirror walls, newspapers and scraps of articles were pasted.

"Minghao......." A low weak voice, no longer charming and silky as before calls him from the door. The boy cried even harder, the tiredness of dancing made his body numb but not his mind. "Hyung....... I...I...can't..." the older comes close wrapping the young Chinese in a tight hug. Joshua, the one who is keeping them as stable as he could ever since the tragedy starts even though he is an inch from breaking completely himself. They're under Nu'est and Pristin's support, the two ex-label groupmates vowed to protect and take care of them. The four, with Pledis's permission lived with Nu'est at their dorm.

Minghao couldn't face his family and chose to remain in Korea. He couldn't show them how much of a failure their son was. Mingyu had returned to his family for the time being, apparently Joshua caught him from committing suicide before it's too late a few days ago. Knowing he or Nu'est couldn't always keep an eye on him, the responsible oldest sent him to his parents. Chan was put to sleep after getting his cuts treated and bandaged, Joshua could only cry as he cleans away the blood. Chan's parents, visits from time to time but the boy refuse to go with them. He was the same as Minghao. Dongho appears with Jonghyun, the leader of Nu'est help Joshua up while Dongho carries MingHao.

Jonghyun leads Joshua to the living room, letting the boy sit on the couch while he fetches some food. "Hey.... come on, you need to eat...." But Joshua just stare at the spoonful of rice in front of him. Worried was an understatement for Jonghyun, it stir up the whole group when Seungkwan left, then followed by Soonyoung and the four.....he dare not finish the thought.
