Jeongin has been distancing himself from the other members as he doesn't want them to find out about the nightmares that he is having of his bullies at school, which has led him to sleep deprivation, the youngest being too scared to fall asleep.
Jeongin was only a year away from graduating when the kids at the school he goes to started to bully him. With the other four maknae's in the year above him, they had no idea their youngest was having such a hard time both at school and at his own dorm with his hyung's surrounding him.
The boy didn't feel safe anywhere and he was too scared to tell his member's, worried that the bullying would get worse than what it already was. The boys at school would make sure that they didn't hit anywhere that the members could see, so they aimed for his back and stomach.
Because of this, his stomach was littered in bruises and so was his back, and he would flinch the minute his hyung's suddenly moved towards him. The members had caught onto this but Jeongin reassured them that he was just joking around. They brushed it off.
They caught sight of his eye bags, they brushed it off when he said that he was up late studying and playing video games.
Hyunjin, Han, Felix and Seungmin had no idea of what goes on at school as the only time they see their Maknae is at break and lunch time, their year level is usually on the other side of school for their classes.
Jeongin was able to keep this up for almost a month now, he was beginning to slip up, starting with a few members noticing the lies of him staying up late on video games or studying, having come home to find him tossing and turning in bed.
The first to approach the youngest was Minho who had returned late from the studio again, and noticed that Jeongin was in the lounge room, cup of milk in front of him and hands deeply wound into his hair, tugging tightly.
Minho rushed over and gently took the youngers hands, unwinding them from his hair, "What are you doing up Innie?" Jeongin was startled by the sudden presence of his hyung, "I'm just stressed with school work hyung, I'm fine." Minho shook his head at Jeongin who tried to fool him with a small smile, "The truth, Jeongin."
At the use of his full name, Jeongin sighed and dropped his head, "I've been having trouble sleeping." Minho nodded as though that was the answer he had expected, which he had, he, Seungmin and Felix were the three members to suspect anything of concern, all the other members were busy and Chan was rarely home from producing at the studio.
"Do you know why? Is there something bothering you?" Minho pressed earning a hesitant shrug in reply. Sighing, the older decided to let it go considering how tired the Maknae looked, "Alright, let's get you back to bed." Minho helped him stand and directed the tried boy up to Jeongin's now shared room with Changbin and Chan.
"Hyung, will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" The question shocked the older, as did the fear in the question so he nodded and sat down next to the younger, gently playing with his hair. "Sleep Innie, we'll talk tomorrow." Minho began to softly hum a tune to the younger, watching as he easily passed out with someone touching him.
"Min, is that you?" Chan called in a soft voice, not wanting to wake anyone up, not knowing that Changbin was actually also awake, having woke up when the two had entered the room.
"Yeah hyung. Innie told me he hasn't been sleeping well but that nothing is bothering him. I think something more is going on though, he seemed like he was hiding something." Chan nodded a little, "I'll keep an eye on him tonight. And I'll have a chat with him in the morning before he goes to school. If Lix and Han are awake when you head to bed, get them to keep an eye on him at school tomorrow, if not just tell them in the morning and let the other two know as well." Minho nodded and headed off to bed where he saw his two dongsaeng's were sleeping. The elder readied himself for bed, and was out like a light as soon as his head hit the pillow.
