We stay like that for a long time and eventually his sobs soften to sniffles then silence. My hand cramped up after ten minutes of rubbing his back and it might be numb now, but at least Minho isn't crying.
"I'm sorry for this," he says so quietly I almost don't catch it.
"Don't be," I reply. "You have a right to be upset." I pull away and cup his face in my hands. "No more sad tears now, though. I only want happy tears."
"Happy tears?" Minho asks, his eyebrows knitting together in confusion.
"Yes. Happy tears. Happy tears for when you debut."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, that from now on, you are going to work your butt off so that you finally get to stand on stage as a singer, not a backup dancer. I believe in you. Don't let this stop you, Minho. You will debut. I know it."
"Thank you, Mijin," he whispers, a sparkle of hope in his eyes. "Thank you."
