“Donghyuk is not talented at all.”

“Why Donghyuk is the final member of IKON? This doesn’t make sense.”

“His face is not suitable for an idol. He can ruin IKON.”

The vocalist and the main dancer of the group that about to debut soon, sighed. Now he regretted to open his laptop. He was about to search some articles about IKON, good or bad he still read it. One of the things he did often was reading the fans’ comments. Bad or good, he wanted to read it for him to improve, he said. He knew he shouldn’t read the bad ones. He knew he shouldn’t think about the bad comments about him on the internet. He knew it so well because he might be upset that will make his brothers worried about him just because of the harsh comments that he got. But he is a human too. Human can get hurt even if it is just a word. Human can get hurt even if you don’t want to be hurt. Kim Donghyuk sighed for the second time, closing his laptop on his lap. Stop thinking about it, Kim Donghyuk. He then stood up, wishing to go to the kitchen as his throat was kind of needing water. As he was about to walk to the kitchen, someone stopped him.

“Yah, Kim Donghyuk.” Here we go again.

“What, Goo Junhoe? Hurry up, I’m thirsty.” Junhoe raised his right eyebrow, looking a bit confused and…bothered? Nah, just your imagination, Donghyuk.

“What’s wrong with your face?”

“What’s wrong with my face?” Donghyuk touched his face with his hand, quickly scanning something.

“You look uglier than before.” Donghyuk looked at the younger by 2 months, looking froze. Did he just really say that or it’s just your imagination again?

“W-what?”

“I said it very well, Kim.” No, definitely heard it right…so it’s true..

“I know.” Frowning, the older replied, surprising the other by his answer. The older then left the younger with question.

Goo Junhoe was confused. Usually, the older would kick him otherwise punch him on the chest or arms, telling another cruel thing back to the younger. They next would laugh it off like it never happen. It always had been like that since pre-debut. No, since they met and started to fight the maknae title (he let the older win lol). Kim Donghyuk never ever eats what Goo Junhoe said. Mostly, dreadful things. Something is wrong here, Junhoe thought.

Later that day, training was on in the evening until night. But the practice room was silent, not even a laugh was
