anger.

in all honesty, minho should have seen it coming. his condition had been horrible the week after the argument - every day, more and more flowers fell from his swollen lips. he'd chosen to ignore the increasing pain in his chest and the thought 'since when was breathing so hard' that flashed through his mind because their debut was later today and everything had to be perfect.

they had the day off until 5:30 in the afternoon - because the album was going to be dropped at six - and chan told them they can just relax and calm down their nervous minds; except minho didn't relax. 

he spent the majority of the day in the bathroom, desperately trying to stop his coughing and trying to get all the flowers out of his lungs so he can spend a few hours with the rest of the group members, celebrating their upcoming debut - not by choice, sadly, but it would have been way too suspicious if he didn't join - but the flowers just never stopped, pissing him off to the point where he grabbed his bloodstained shirt and ripped it off, managing to get some of his anger out.

the tears kept falling down his face - he never asked for this. he never wanted to develop feelings for his best friend. he just wanted to become an idol, to have good friends; why did this have to be ruined by some deadly disease?

eventually, minho calmed down enough to get himself dressed in new clothes and to at least look acceptable enough not to raise too many suspicions. he walked out of his apartment, joining the rest - not without noticing the angry looks shot his way - as they waited patiently to drop the album, his breathing uneven due to the fact the damn flowers had grown back. he tried to ignore the pain as best as he could, not wanting to get caught.

soon enough, he regretted his decision.
