"Instead of updating your SNS on someone leaving us... I'll appreciate it if everyone can concentrate on practice"

Suho said as he entered the living room. Exo just received a win on this music show but members weren't ready to face anyone which left Suho alone to step up on the stage.

The way he interacted with everyone and stood alone... I couldn't help but feel pity for the guy. He was on the verge of tears when he finished his speech. He was too young to face everything alone.

Nobody replied to him and kept looking down. I sighed and glanced at Minseok as I gestured to him to step up. He nodded and followed Suho out while I sat beside Sehun.

Silence was deafening and even though everyone had a talk with each other, Sehun hadn't uttered a word since then. He was in shock as I've always seen him close to everyone. He always wanted everyone to stay together and even get afraid easily if he saw anyone fight in front of him.

"Hunniee" I ruffled his hair and sat beside him "Do you want noona to cook something for you?" I asked but he just stared ahead blankly.

"I hate them" he whispered "I hate every single one of them" he uttered to my shock and then got up to leave the room. I watched him leaving and released a deep breath because I knew he was talking about the SM company.

I looked around and saw that everyone was in their world, silent and mentally exhausted. Their first solo concert was coming soon and their behavior was not a good sign for Exo.

Suho has been a great leader and I trusted him but seeing no emotion on his face today scared me a bit. I made my way out but looked up, startled when I bumped into an unfamiliar figure.

"Umm?" I raised my brows at the girl as I glanced over her shoulder and saw Kai entering from the front door. I had seen her around but never talked to her personally.

"I'm Ji Sunhee" the girl mumbled and I smiled, warmly to ease the tension. She looked young, around Kai's age, so I guessed she must be his friend.

"Noona" Kai smiled tiredly and came to me "It's Sun Hee, my friend" he gestured towards the girl and I nodded.

But what made me frown was her reaction. She looked pretty upset with the term 'Friend' but maybe it was my eyes playing me. I patted his shoulder and passed by their side to find Suho and Minseok.

After a few minutes of searching, I found Minseok sitting on the floor alone and sighed before taking a seat beside him. He had his head against the wall and eyes closed. Minseok was never the one to cry or show his emotions much. I knew him.

"Where's Suho?" I asked, softly as I stared at his features.

"He needed some time alone" Minseok breathed out, his eyes still closed "Sana?" he called me and I hummed. "I want to cry" he let out and I bit my lip, looking away because seeing him like this was stabbing my heart and I couldn't help but kiss his forehead.

"You can cry, you know" I said, softly and held his hand. He didn't say anything but just leaned down and placed his head in my lap as his body shook silently. I ran my fingers through his hair and stared ahead as he cried silently.

It was true that the painful cry have no sound. I did not ask him anything or asked him to stop. I let him cry because he needed it.

That day I saw Kim Minseok crying for the first time in my whole life.

I rushed back to the apartment after doing grocery shopping for the dinner I was planning to prepare for exo members. They were working so hard for the concert and I invited them over as I was concerned about their health.
