I slammed the door behind me and made my way quickly down the hall.  I was going to go to Jongin’s room.  I hoped he was alone as I didn’t want to answer any questions.  With Jongin I did not need to tell him what was wrong.  He would let me be, and he would listen if I wanted to talk.  He would not pry.  I just needed to calm down and not go to Chanyeols room right now.

I knocked hard on the door when I reached his room.  Slowly he came to the door.

‘What?’ he asked a little bleary eyed. ‘Oh Taemin, come in’ he said as soon as he saw me.

‘Are you ok?’ he asked as I fell onto the bed.

‘Can I stay here for a while?’ I asked the tension clear in my voice.  He gave me a confused look but nodded his head.  He didn’t say anymore.  Like I said, Jongin did not pry, he would wait until I spoke.

He settled himself back on the bed and we sat in silence watching whatever movie had been playing before I arrived.  

He passed me a shot of soju from the bottle he had been drinking.  I took it and downed it without a word.  I passed the shot glass back to him as he took another for himself and then filled it up and passed it back to me. 

I had four shots before I stopped.  I was beginning to feel them working on me, but I was a lot calmer than I was when I left my room, although I still did not want to talk about it with anyone. 

There was a knock on the door after I had been there for around 45 minutes. 

‘Yah what now?’ Jongin mumbled answering the door. ‘Chanyeol’ he said, causing me to get up on my feet away from the bed.  What was he doing here?  I didn’t want to see him.  In truth, I didn’t know what I would do.  Jongin though did not know what was going on and let him in. 

Chanyeol stopped dead in the middle of the room when he saw me.  I stood and stared at him with narrowed eyes, seething.  His eyes were slightly red, the look of someone who had been crying.  Our eyes met and I knew, he knew, that she had told me, I could see the look of shame in his eyes.  He must have been able to see the anger in mine. 

‘I’ll go’ he said very quietly, to Jongin, who looked absolutely baffled by the whole situation.  He looked at me with narrowed eyes staring at Chanyeol to Chanyeol who had the grace to look away from me and look ashamed of himself.

‘No, I’m going.’ I said with deep conviction. My eyes never left his as I pushed my way past him shoving him a little.  I added before I left ‘I have a girlfriend to get back to.  Thanks, Jongin.’ I did not turn around to see Chanyeols face.

For Jonghyun who features predominantly in this story. To his band members, his beautiful sister, everyone who knew him, my heart breaks for you. It is easy to say 'if only we knew' but I hope he is at peace, I hope his pain is gone. I hope he knows he did well until the very end.

Chapter 1: It’s been years but here I am going through a Taemin phase again thanks to criminal.

Reading about vacations during a pandemic is so... How do I describe it? It kind of hurts your feelings because you really want to travel around but it’s not safe to do so.
So you just stay powerless at home wishing and longing for better times to come.

But back to your story, it seems promising.
Can’t wait to keep catching up :-)
