The Secret...

Continuation off of Saying Goodbye.

~~~

After getting back Instagram and the ability to be in contact with fans Sammy has started to slowly become himself. Minho still wondered what that secret was. He contemplated wether or not to go up to him but Sammy just seemed so bright and even after Astronaut came out and Never Ending Story came out Sammy just seemed perfectly fine. Of course he did get himself on an Instagram, Twitter, and VLive ban again for being rebellious against JYP and posting pictures of Woojin. Stays made memes about it saying, "Sammy: I know the law.
Also Sammy: FUCK THE LAW!"

It cracked them up and the others would not let him live it down. Despite that Minho was a curious cat. He took his shot when Sammy was in the practice room alone. Minho watched him practice for a bit before going over to him. Sammy had known Minho was there because he did ask Minho to watch him to make sure the moves where correct. "You're still perfect as ever Hyung." Minho smiled. Sammy smiles and grabs his water bottle. Minho grinned darkly. "So... Hyung... what's this secret I've been hearing about." Sammy tilts his head. "What secret?"

"Oh you know, the one only Woojin and Chan know." Sammy's face dropped and he looked to the door. "No one's at the agency after hours Hyung. It's just us."

"Listen Minho, I don't know what you've heard but I promised not to tell anyone because the more people know the more dangerous it gets."

"Oh Hyung you're just peaking my interest."

"I can't tell you. I know I blabber a lot about tea of other idols but that's because they're not dangerous. I can actually keep secrets."

"Why is it so dangerous?"

"Because it could potential ruin not only my career but your guy's careers." Minho's jaw dropped. "You did something so bad it could ruin our careers?!?!"

"Yes now keep quiet! I've already told you too much." Sammy quickly packed up and left. Minho's head went through so many scenarios none of which sounded like what Sammy would do. "What the hell was it then?" The next day he gets everyone together. "I need you all to pressure Sammy into telling us what the hell you told Chan-Hyung and Woojin-Hyung, and why it could damage our careers." Sammy panicked. Chan glared at his feet. "It's better if Sammy tells it not me. I was angry at him for the longest time. So I can't really give an unbiased review on it." Sammy looked helplessly at Chan.

Sammy's heart shattered in pieces. He felt outcasted. His head mumbled, "Tell them you dated a guy. Tell them and watch as they degrade you for being gay!" Sammy mumbled, "The more people know the more it becomes dangerous I told you that Minho."

"Come on Hyung! It can't be that bad."

"In this country? It's a death sentence to even talk about it."

"Now you're just blowing it out of proportion." Chan responded. Sammy got up and sat further away from the group and started to fidget with his hands. Chan looks at his hands and up at Sammy's face and then breaks. He walks over to him and looks up at him. "I'm sorry." He whispers and runs a hand through his hair. "It's ok Channie. You're upset over a stupid thing I did. I was selfish and Woojin should have never found out but he did." Chan sighs. He sits on the chair's arm and keeps an arm around Sammy as he starts. "During high school I fell in love.... with this guy. His name was Jacob. During this time I was curious about same-sex relationships. I was sixteen and ignorant. I thought nothing of the relationship we had. Even after coming to Korea and being in a long distance relationship with him up until three years ago which was when Woojin found out. He confronted me saying our relationship could end my career as a model and actor. Woojin told Chan and Chan got mad at me for not telling him sooner and being selfish for dating when I shouldn't have been. Then two weeks later his mom told me Jacob died in a car accident due to a drunk driver who also had traces of weed in his system. I was so mad and so sad. I didn't tell Woojin and Chan because... I felt like somehow they'd be glad. But I was just being an idiot for even thinking that way knowing how kind both of them are." Sammy smiled slightly at the end.

His face dropped afterwards though. "I shouldn't have gotten mad at you because it's your life and you're the only member who's dating ban has been up for a while now."

"Like I'd date now. After everything add dating to the list of things CEO hates me for? Not a chance."

"I'm sure he doesn't hate you."

"THEN WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS PICKED ON LIKE A THROW AWAY TOY? I may have seemed like I recovered from last year but I'm just really good at hiding things by now." Sammy had jumped out of his seat and away from Chan. Sammy then mumbled, "I'm sorry for yelling."

"You need to tell us these things so we can help."

"I hate pity... you should know this by now Channie." Minho mumbles, "I'm sorry for prying in on your business Hyung." Sammy looks down. "The truth would have eventually revealed itself."

"Yo what happened to bro's before other nonessential dudes?" Jisung asked. Sammy chuckled. "Wait since when did you have that slogan?" Changbin asked. "Since we became roommates, why?"

"I want one too." Sammy smiles. "Fine I'll give you all your own slogans etc. Now, I swear to tell only the truth from now on."

"So~ do you like Chan-Hyung?" Jeongin asks. Sammy grins, "Ok maybe not the entire truth."

"Ughhhhh it's been bothering us!"

"Bye Felicia!" Sammy ran to his room. Seungmin chuckled. "Jisung, Innie, you should go check up on him." The two nodded. Chan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion realizes what they said earlier, "Why me?"

"Come on... you can't see it? Even fans can see it!"

"See what?"

"Ughhhh you thick skulled dumbo." Minho groaned. "Oi!" Minho grins and runs. "You better be respectful to me this second!" Chan yells running after him. Changbin, Felix, and Seungmin shrug. "Movie?"

"Sure."
