Won't You Help Me Out

14. We all wanna be someone

The first step was to have Hyunwoo and Hoseok calm so they'd all be on the same side when the moment to explain things to Jooheon and Hyungwon came. Kihyun walked to Hoseok's room and Changkyun did the same with his boyfriend.

"Are you calmed now?" Changkyun asked closing the door and walking to the bed, where the leader was sitting on, holding his head on his hands.

"I'm sorry."

"Everything will be alright.." he stood in between Hyunwoo's legs letting him hug his waist. "Please tell me everything will be alright, hyung."

"It will.. I'm sorry, babe."

"Would you tell me what happened? What did Jooheon hyung say?"

The dancer sighed but finally lifted up his head to look at the other. "He questioned our friendship.. He said he understood why you wouldn't trust him with something like that even when you were getting closer, but I'm his favorite hyung, we are really close, and I never told him about you..."

"I understand. But is that a good enough reason to pick up a fight with Hoseok hyung?"

"Hadn't he been pining Kihyun to the counter Jooheon would have never know about us."

"So you wanted to hide it from him forever?"

"What? No, I- Changkyun."

"I'm not saying this is the better way, it's actually probably the worst way, but they needed to find out sooner or later." Changkyun caressed Hyunwoo's hair, then leaned in to peck at his lips. "We need to solve this, Hyungwon hyung could get us in trouble."

"I know, I'm sorry."

"Go and tell that to Hoseokkie hyung. It could have been us that Jooheon hyung walked in, I wouldn't like Hoseok pushing you around because of it."

"Okay."

It was near midnight when the five members on the dorms finished cleaning up the kitchen and were moving to the living room to talk things out, half an hour later Hyungwon walked in.

"Please, Hyungwonnie," Hoseok stopped him before he could reach the hall. "Let's talk."

Hyungwon sighed but sat down on the couch as far as possible from the rest.

"We-"

"I understand why you hid it from me," Hyungwon interrupted Kihyun. "I thought about it while I was walking outside.. I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to be careful around me. And don't worry, I won't tell the managers. But hyung," he turned to Hyunwoo, "you have to promise me my father won't find out. Not yet."

"We'll keep it inside the group as long as we have to. I promise you this won't affect you."

"We don't want to make you uncomfortable, hyung," Changkyun lowered his head. But before he could say anything else Hyungwon shook his head and interrupted again.

"I am not uncomfortable.. it's just a little weird. I hope you understand this."

"We do," Hoseok promised. "I'm sorry.. for pushing you."

"I am sorry for slapping you."

"And I am sorry for the thing I said," he stopped Kihyun. "I don't mean those things, it was just a mechanism of defense I guess."

"Same here," murmured Minhyuk, "I don't like you guys keeping secrets from me."

Kihyun laughed and pushed the visual slightly, "sorry Minhyuk-ssi."

"Are we waiting for Jooheon?" Changkyun asked Hyunwoo.

"I don't think he's coming. He probably will stay at the studio."
