A week before the Christmas break, Chenle stops attending school. Jisung came to school with bloodshot eyes, not talking to anyone. The hyungs just watch the younger worriedly.
The Council couldn't even look Jisung in the eye as he pleads them if he could talk to Chenle. They avoided him and the basketball players knowing they will crumble down infront of them.
Zhoumi locked Chenle down, not wanting his son to get out of their agreement even confiscating his phone and gadgets to prevent him talking with anyone.
Jisung knock at the Council office wanting to talk to them, again.
But the Council just turn deaf to the younger's plea and cries outside their door as they locked themselves in.
Renjun closes his eyes as tears starting to stream down his face.
"H-hyung" Renjun called out to Taeyong who is reading something.
"You know we can't Renjun" Taeyong said sternly.
"But hyung. Jisung is there" Renjun pleaded.
"We can't!" Taeyong said as tears started to pool in his eyes.
"All of Chenle's effort will be in vain if we talk to Jisung. He's doing this for him" Taeyong whispers as he wipe his eyes.
Renjun just sighs and listen to Jisung's pleas outside of the Council office.
"Hyungs! I know you guys are in there! Please let me talk to Chenle!" Jisung shouted banging his fist on the Council's office.
"Please let me talk to Chenle" Jisung said as his voice cracks in the end.
"I'm begging you let me talk to him just once" Jisung said as he slides down the door breaking down.
"Please just once" Jisung whispers, pulling his knees to his chest and cries.
The man walk towards Jisung as he crouched down to help the younger stands.
Jisung lift his head up and furrows his brows.
"Mr. Zhang?" Jisung whispers.
"Come on up kid. I need to talk to you" Yixing said as he aid Jisung walk towards the teacher lounge.
Jaehyun cornered Taeyong at the library, Wonwoo gave Jaehyun the permission to locked the library by the mean time.
Taeyong was getting ready to leave when Jaehyun walk up to him.
"Jae" Taeyong whispers.
Jaehyun pulled Taeyong into one of the reading closet inside the library, locking the door.
Taeyong look everywhere but Jaehyun.
Jaehyun walk towards Taeyong as Taeyong closes his eyes.
"Please" Jaehyun beg to Taeyong.
Taeyong opens his eyes and look at younger kneeling infront of him.
"Please let Jisung talk to Chenle just once" Jaehyun said looking at Taeyong with sadness in his eyes.
Taeyong just breathes as the sight of the younger infront of him, broke him.
"I can't" Taeyong whispers brushing the tears on Jaehyun's eyes.
"I can't do that Jae" Taeyong whispers as a stray tear escapes his eyes.
"Why?" Jaehyun asks.
Taeyong shakes his head ready to leave.
Jaehyun holds Taeyong's hand stopping him to got out.
"Please just once. Let Jisung talk to him" Jaehyun said as a sob raked his chest.
Taeyong immediately hugs the younger patting his back.
Jaehyun cries on Taeyong's shoulder remembering when Jisung got home wet from the rain.
Jaehyun is pacing around, Jisung isn't home yet. The younger said he will just go to the Council's house but it's past 10 and no word is heard from the younger.
Jaehyun was ready to head out when the front door opened, revealing a drench Jisung.
"Jisung-" Jaehyun was ready to scold the younger but stops when he saw Jisung's bloodshot eyes.
"Jisung ah. Are you okay?" Jaehyun asks but Jisung just brush him off going upstairs.
Jaehyun heard to door locked and a scream was heard.
Jaehyun immediately knocks on Jisung's door.
"Jisung ah! Open the door!" Jaehyun knocks as he heard something crash inside.
Jisung continues to screams as Jaehyun tried to open his door.
"Johnny!" Jaehyun shouted as one by one the basketball players came out of their respective rooms.
Johnny immediately help Jaehyun in opening the door but it didn't budge.
The screaming and crashing stops and Johnny and Jaehyun immediately kicked the door open after so many times.
The room is barely a room anymore, cabinet turn over, clothes scattered, feathers and foam from the pillows and the bed, picture frames broken and glass shards decorating the floor. And Jisung stands in the middle of the mess with his hands bleeding.
Jisung lifted his head as tears stream down his already red eyes, lips quivering as he called for Jaehyun.
"H-hyung" He choke out.
Jaehyun immediately run towards the younger, hugging him tight, Jaehyun let the younger cry on his shoulder until Jisung's body began to limp and eventually fell asleep.
After that Jisung didn't eat nor sleep only cries to himself every night.
Jaehyun tried to talk with the younger but he only said "Bring Chenle and I will talk" then shutting himself again.
That's why he's begging to Taeyong to let the younger talked to Chenle.
"I can't Jaehyun. It's for Jisung's sake. Please" Taeyong pleaded.
"Why?!" Jaehyun shouted, the older flinched from the sudden shout.
"I-I just can't. I'm sorry" Taeyong whispers before walking out.
