❝ CHAPTER NINETEEN: HELPING JISUNG ❞

___________________________________

Ten walked over to the room that Jisung had locked himself in for the past day and a half. He refused to talk to of see anyone ater the Ihčldent with him and Jaehyun.

Taeyong tried to get Jisung to open the door but was met with either silence, pleas to go away, or crying. Even Mark had tried but was unsuccessful as well.

Taeyong and the others were worried because Jisung hadn't eaten or drank any water for the past two days.

Many of the other members were currently out at the practice room. Only Ten and Taeil stayed behind just in case Jisung would come around.

Ten knocked on the door before he spoke, "Jisung. Please let me in," Ten said.

However, he was met with silence. Many seconds passed and Ten tried again.

"Please, Jisung. You haven't eaten or drank anything for the past two days. You need to eat, "Go away," a weak voice called out.

Ten tried to open the door, but sure enough, Jisung had locked it. Ten made a mental note to remove the locks until they all got emotionally better.

Ten leaned against the wall next to the door. "I'm not going away. We just want to talk. We're not mad at you," Ten could have sworn that he heard a small sobbing sound.

"You have every right to be mad at me. To hate me even," Jisung said softly. Ten heard some movement in the room.

Supposedly Jisung was moving closer to the door so that he wouldn't have to yell across the room. Ten also guessed that he probably didn't have the energy to speak loudly.

They had gone long hours without eating before, but never for two whole days.

"We don't hate you. We love you like a little brother. We only want the best for you,"

"I only screw things up. I'm the weakest out of all of you and l'm a burden. I can't even keep my anger down. I'm such a failure," Jisung scoffed the last part.

"Who told you that you're a failure?" Ten said, hearing a small sigh in the other room.

"Who do you think?"

"Mr. Yang?" Ten asked. Jisung hummed in response.

"Listen Jisung, you are not a failure. You're anything but a failure. You've become a well-loved idol at such a young age. Not everyone can do that," Ten couldn't see, but Jisung gave a small smile.

"How long are you planning to stay out there?" Jisung asked.

"Until you unlock the door and let me in,"

"And if I don't?" Jisung questioned, worried by what his hyungs response would be.

"Then l'll stay here and not eat or drink anything until you come out," Jisung's eyes widened in response.
