All The Times, We Look Away - Seungmin centric

A simple check-up. That's all it was supposed to be.

But when the results came back, no one was there to listen. Everyone was busy - rehearsals, shoots, interviews - too busy to remember the day Seungmin faced his biggest fear alone.
Too busy to notice the way he smiled even when it hurt to breathe.

And later, when the dorm lights flickered softly over an empty bed, they realized it wasn't his cough they should've worried about.
It was all the times they looked away.
