"HE BETERAYED YOU OR YOU BETRAYED HIM HUH? COME ON!?"

Seonghwa's body felt a bit weak as Yunho screamed his lungs out at him. A felt a gush of guilt take over himself. Did Hongjoong betray him or did he betray Hongjoong? The words kept repeating in his brain.

His thoughts were abruptly put aside as he felt a hand on his shoulder. His gaze landed on the hand and then to its owner who's brown eyes looked back at him with sadness.

"Hyung, I swear to you, Hongjoongie has nothing, truly nothing against you."

"Yunho-ah. Can't you see? He's hardly ever with us. He's always stuck in his cramped studio, can't even do simple steps right and now what? The debut we've waited for so long- It- I can't believe this. It's all postponded!"

Seonghwa was feeling guilty, actually the feeling was guilt was a lot more than any other emotions at the moment but he was much troubled about the long awaited debut being post ponded. Yunho let out a sigh, his hand slipping off the other's shoulders, pinching his temples.

"Seonghwa- I know this a lot for you, for all of us. I know we've waited for a long time but can't you see that he has really been trying so hard. Also, our debut song it- this entire album! It's all his work. All his precious time inside that studio. Now he's hurt so badly and y- you just said all that to him."

Ego. Something that destroys anything and everything within a few seconds. It bigger and stronger than any other emotion or trait and well- Seonghwa has quite a lot of it.

He can't be wrong. He can't be wrong, nope! He's never wrong the fuck? Hongjoong. He's useless!

"HE'S HATES ME YUNHO! HE BETRAYED ME. HE'S FUCKING USELESS-"

A sharp pain stung Seonghwa at his cheek. Yunho has slapped him across the face, tears dripped out of Yunho's face as he stared at the older with his heavy breathing. He seemed like he almost had fumes coming out of his ears.

"H-hongjoong hyung told me to never t-tell you this but since you know how much he hates you I'll tell you! 8 months ago, Hongjoong hyung was called out before our 'Monster' dance cover video. Do you know what happened that day?"

Seonghwa's own eyes got glossy. Yunho, his childhood friend had slapped him. He felt like he was at his lowest point but still shook his head. He really, really felt like sobbing out loud.

"He- the company wanted to kick you out"

"WHAT!? WHY?" Yunho nodded before continuing.

"Sori just didn't leave you behind like that hyung. For some reason she wanted you to suffer more. She spread rumours about you to the company. They made that decision even though they didn't want to let you go. Only Hongjoong hyung was told this that day. When he returned do you remember his eyes looking all red and how nervous he looked?"

Seonghwa nodded. The lump in his throat hurting a lot more than before. He wasn't ready to hear whatever was about to come.

"The next day he disappeared early from the dorms right? Well, he had gone to talk to them about not letting you go. It even turned into a heated argument which would've let to him being kicked out as well but he didn't care- He wanted you to stay hyung. I had followed him and waited so when he came out I told him to tell me everything and he did!"

"W-why didn't h-he tell me? O-or y-you?" "He had made me promise him to never tell you because he didn't want you to feel sad or weak. He didn't want you to cry about it."

Seonghwa was full on crying mode now. The guilt inside him eating him up taking in the negative thoughts about Hongjoong as well. Yunho suddenly pulled him into a hug, crying just as badly as him.

"Y'know why he never said anything to you but today even though you always put mean comments to him since the Sori amd Jungheyon drama?"

The older shook his head still crying like crazy.

"T-today you said something that h-hurt him the most. You put h-his family into the argument. Hyung-ah have y-you forgotten? H-his parents have n-never been p-proud of him. H-his brother is the only one for him."

Oh no. No no no! Seonghwa felt his soul leave his body for a second. He quickly pulled out of the warm hug coming from a crying Yunho.

"I NEED TO GO- I NEED TO F-FIND HIM"
