It wasn’t suppose to end like this not at all.
All the members was excited they wanted to surprise Minho with a party to cheer him up after all the past couple of weeks he had been seen very upset and had refused to talk to anyone even jisung who he always talks to the most.
But none of they was expecting the outcome nobody just knew how much Minho was struggling he didn't need a party to make him happy he just needed someone to listen to him just one person to just ask him if he was ok?
-
They decided to throw the party next week on Friday and that’s when everything started the whispers going around making sure that Minho knows nothing about the party, the glances they gave Minho when they thought he wasn’t looking.
But what they didn't know was that he saw everything he saw the way they started whispering to each other, he saw the way they looked at him.
The same look that shows they was starting to hate him and want him gone he saw it or at least that is what he thought he saw.
-
“Does he know?” chan asked jisung as they whispered
“I don’t think so but Hyung I think something is wrong?” jisung said glancing at Minho in a worried way
Changbin moved over joining the conversation
“What is wrong?” Changbin asked confused
“I think something is wrong with lee know Hyung he is acting weird I don’t know maybe I am overthinking again” jisung said still looking at Minho worried
“Don’t worry everything will be fine he will be happy once the party happens”changbin said excited
Chan nodded his head in agreement.
-
In the dance studio everyone was practicing but something was wrong defiantly wrong Minho was practising really hard even though he knew the dance more than anyone else since he choreographed some of it.
Everyone didn't take any notice they was practicing but with a worry of Minho finding out about the party.
After everyone went back to the dorm they noticed Minho was missing but they assumed he was out doing something, but in fact he was at the dance studio letting his feelings out in a very bad way.
He was dancing for hours not taking a break he felt like his feet was bleeding, he was breathing heavily but no matter how he felt he still danced not caring.
After another hours he collapsed on the floor with a loud bang and then everything went dark.
-
He woke up with a banging headache and somebody shouting his name he stood up and looking at the person who shouted his name.
His manger was stood looking at him worried, he was hesitating whether to call the ambulance or not.
“I am ok Hyung” minho said smiling at him before grabbing his bag and leaving.
-
Minho and his manager was sat having something to eat at first when the manger asked he refused but after a while he decided to go,
They both was sat laughing at each others stories not having a care in the world they was free from the stress they both was having a friend is what they needed and I think it is to say that they are that friend they needed.
“Minho may I ask you something?”
Minho looked up shocked at the sudden serious tone before agreeing
“I wanted to ask if you was ok and I mean mentally are you ok?” the manager asked
Minho looked at the manger debating if he should tell him the truth or not, in the end he decided to tell him exactly how he was feeling.
He was feeling so much better talking it out with a friend but he was sad, the members are the people that he should be telling things to yet he was telling his manger everything all because he asked if he was ok.
-
A slightly tipsy minho walking in taking his shoes off when suddenly chan came running towards him with an angry look on his face.
“Where was you we tried calling you but you didn't answer where was you” chan yelled worried
Minho looked up laughing making the rest of the member come out the rooms to see what was going on.
“Calm down Hyung I was only with my manager we had a drink that’s all why was they something you needed or wanted to ask?” minho asked smiling
“No I was just wonding where you was?”
Minho smiled at everyone before going to bed leaving chan confused.
The members all looked at Minho’s state wondering what was going on why was he drinking with the manager instead of one of them, why was he drinking to the point he was tipsy when he never did when he had a schedule the next day it didn't make sense.
It was 4 in the morning a week since the members started noticing Minho’s weird behaviour the party was tomorrow and they was all nervous.
-
They was movement at the early hour minho was putting his shoes on before picking up his 4 bags full of stuff and turning to look at the place before leaving, none of the members knew what was happening they are going to be in for a huge surprise in the morning that is for sure.
-
Everybody was rushing around getting ready to go for a schedule they had yet nobody had realised minho was nowhere to be seen just yet.
The manager gathered everyone is the cars before heading off still nobody noticed probably due to how tired they was after all it was almost half 5 in the morning.
-
Once getting to the place they rushed in getting ready and all sat down ready for the interview Jisung had started asking the managers where minho was yet they only replied “I will tell you after” making jisung worry
The mangers told the rest the same thing once they all started noticed as well , they didn't think anything of it except jisung.
-
Everyone was in the dance studio and lee know’s manager was stood nervous not knowing exactly how to tell them.
“Hyung what’s going on” jisung asked getting extremely worried making everyone look at him confused
Suddenly one of the staff walking in looked at them nervously just like the manager
“What is going on” chan asked now starting to get nervous
The staff took a deep breath before speaking
“Lee know has decided to leave the group we can’t tell you the exact reasons since he asked us not to tell but he has decided to leave the group I’m sorry” the staff said looking at everyone
“Why?” was the first thing I.N said sadly
“He asked not to tell you but I feel like I should tell you , it had something to do with his mental health we had a talk a couple of days ago about it and we agreed to follow his wishes" the staff spoke
The younger members burst in to tears as the rest tried to calm them down as best as they could.
-
It had now been 2 weeks since minho left nobody had heard a word from him they tried to call him but the number was no longer available he had disappeared.
Everyone was trying to adjust to the new changes but it will take a while to do so. jisung had decided to take a bit a break due to depression and the other members tried to look happy for the fans but anyone could tell with just a glance how sad they was.
At the end nobody knows just where or what lee know is doing they just hope he is happy and that one day he will come back.
