❝ CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: TALKING IT THROUGH ❞

"Jisung. Please open up," Jaehyun called out through the closed door. It was the next day, so the newspapers had been delivered.

Taeyong had already told them about how the videos had been placed on a porn sight, yet when the newspaper stated it at well, it brought the Dreamies into more shock than they already were.

It was as though the paper validated what Taeyong said the day before. Jisung immediately locked himself in the room again. In order to try and get the rest of Dream to think of something different, Taeyong decided to take them and many of the other members to one of the practice rooms so that they weren't just staying in the dorm.

Only a few people decided to stay. "No. I'll just hurt you again. It's best if l'm away from you guys right now," Jisung replied in a weak voice.

"This isn't a healthy thing to do, Jisung. Please, let's talk it out,"

"I'm scared to, hyung,"

"Don't be. I'm not mad at you. I only want you to be healthy again," Jaehyun heard a loud sigh, then the sound of the door being unlocked.

Jaehyun slowly opened the door and walked in, closing it slightly so that they would have some privacy.

Jaehyun sat down next to Jisung, who looked really tired.

"How are you feeling right now?" Jaehyun asked. Jisung stared at the ground, drawing shapes on the floor with his fingers. He shrugged his shoulders, "Scared, helpless, angry. Perhaps every negative emotion that's possible,"

"When did you start getting angry as a response?" Jaehyun asked. He really wanted to know why their sweet maknae had turned into someone that could lash out at anything.

"I'm not really sure. I think one day I got so mad at what he was doing to us that I just flipped. It was how I dealt with everything," Jisung said.

"How did everyone else react?" Jaehyun asked.

Jisung shook his head, "They were scared of me, and I didn't like that. They tried to hide the fact that they were scared, but I could see it. I became even more angry at myself for making my members scared of me since we were all already scared of him,"

"And that's the reason why you're enveloped in anger?" Jisung nodded.

"I just became angry at everything. All the shit that's been happening to us turned me into someone that I don't even recognize. Someone my parents wouldn't even recognize if they saw me right now," Jisung said, starting to cry.

Jaehyun brought Jisung into a tight hug as Jisung continued to cry. "I'm so sorry that i hurt you, hyung. I never wanted to hurt any of my members, but I did,"

"Don't worry about that. I'm fine and I don't blame you one bit for what happened a few days ago. What we need to do is find a way to control your anger and help you get better. But you will need to work with us in order for us to help you," Jaehyun said as he helped calm Jisung down.
