❝ CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: A TALK WITH HAECHAN ❞

___________________________________

Haechan moved with the beat of the music. He was in a smaller practice room for individual use.

He had messaged Taeyong that he wanted to practice alone so that he could have some time to himself.

Haechan knew, however, that someone would come to check on him sometime during the day.

That was inevitable. However, the main reason why he was here was so that he could forget everything. He didn't want to face the reality that had happened, nor did he want to talk about any of it.

He was practicing so much that the heat in the room was making the mirror fog up. This made it difficult for Haechan to see what he was doing, which made him frustrated.

"Fuck," he said under his breath. He didn't want to have to wait for the fog to clear up, but there was nothing that he could do about it, so he took a break.

Sighing, he went over to his backpack and took out his phone. There was a message from Taeyong.

——————TY TRACK—————

TAEYONG:
I'm coming over soon.
——————————————————

Haechan sighed again. There was an unsaid, to check up on you, in the message, but he knew it was there.

He didn't know why he got annoyed about his hyungs making sure he was okay, but he was. Haechan grabbed a snack from his bag and started to eat.

Not long after, the door opened, which made him flinch slightly. Taeyong entered, and as he walked to Haechan, he looked over to the fogged-up mirror and smiled. He sat down next to Haechan.

"How's it going?" he asked. Haechan hummed, biting into his snack again. There was a small moment of silence before Haechan spoke.

"You probably want to know more about what happened," he said. Taeyong looked over at Haechan.

"You don't have to say anything if you don't want to," Haechan shook his head. "No. I need to talk about it, even if I don't want to," he said, otherwise l'll go insane, he said in his head, and leaned against the wall.

"Take your time. We've got a lots of that," Taeyong said. Haechan gave a small chuckle, "That's not something we hear that often," he said, which made Taeyong smile again.

Haechan took a deep breath, then began to speak. "The abuse started with only Mark and I. He would beat us for the mistakes that the other members did. I remember him specifically mentioning Jaemin's name a lot. It wasn't long until he started attacking the others. Chenle was so confused when he would attack him since his ability to understand Korean was still not the best," Haechan said.
