Practice for the day had just ended. "Minho-goon, you look sad today." Jonghyun stood next to him, emphasizing the height difference.

"A-aniyo," Minho looked at the floor, then back up "I just miss my family."

"Aigo~ How cute, giant Minho actually misses his family. I thought you didn't have feelings." Key bluntly made a remark.

"Can you stop joking around?" Minho tried to keep calm.

"Ahh, sorry you don't have a happy family like us." Key teased, making Minho's temper rise.

"Key, honestly stop. You knowthis isn't the best time." Onew stared at Key.

Everyone was tired, and in no mood for anything. No one wanted to eat, just sleep and rest. Minho had things harder, a hard time dealing with the troubles that had been happening in his family. His parents are facing a huge arguement, his brother had just lost contact because of their argument. The saddest part is that Minho isn't able to see his family, whom he misses.

"Why should I stop? Just so that all the sympathy can go towards him? It's not like a family member died, or got into an accident." Key folded his arms.

"Not everthing has to be physical." Taemin spoke out.

"I just don't get it, we are all not allowed to see out families during this time; we all probably feel the same except, he's just too sensitive."

"Stop, just stop!" Jonghyun blinked slowly, making a rather annoyed/pissed face.

"Stop? Really!? Is that the only word in your vocabularies?!"

"If I say yes, will you shut up?" Minho took a step forward to Key.

"Awh poor Minho," Key pouted, "His family is just so corrupted. So messed up, uncivilized and uneducated " Key rolled his eyes.

"I don't care who you think you are, I don't care how old you are, but just don't bring my family into this!" Minho shouted at Key.

"This was all because of your stupid family anyways." Key walked away.

"My family isn't stupid, if they were then that would make yours completely brain washed. They wouldn't have raised a shame like you." Minho stormed out of the room.

Everything went quiet, no one would ever think something like this would ever happen between SHINee. They practiced down to their knees, and filled with emotions unexplainable, but nothing like this would've been thought of.

"Key, why did you say that? This is nothing like you. Are you PMS-ing?! Are you even a male?" Jonghyun walked towards him. 

"What? Why are you asking me these? You wanna do me or something is that why?"

Jonghyun took a deep breath, "Key. Don't even try. Why are you acting like this?"

Onew and Taemin stared, thinking really hard what is going on. Was SHINee falling apart before their eyes?

They left the practice room and went to their dorm. They found Minho sitting on his bed not crying but tearing. "Where's-", Minho cut Onew off,  "In the bathroom taking his shower probably-"

"I think that's enough hyung." Taemin stopped Minho.

"Really though, why is he acting so ga- not like himself?" Jonghyun started eyeing Key's side of the room.

The other three followed. Taemin opened Key's bedside table to find steroid pills.

"You guys," Taemin's knees went weak, and so did everyone elses as they saw the bottle full of pills waiting to kill Key.

"How could he?" Onew grabbed the bottle it read: Primo 50

"Where could have he gotten this?" Minho breathed heavily, still trying to forget the arguement.

The bathroom door made a sound and the boys went to their owna beds. 

"Ai!" Key yelped, "Have you guys by any chance seen a botlle?" Key laughed weakly.

"What bottle?" Onew pretended not to know.

"Key.." Jonghyun moved himself towards him, "I know." he lifted the bottle up.

"Give that!" Key snatched it away.

"Why? How long?" Jonghyun sternly asked.

"None of your-"

"Tell me now!" Jonghyun clenched his fists; veins popping.

"It's because of you! For 2 months and nothing, nothing happened!"

"What do you mean me? Are you ga-"

"No! Get your damn mind out of the gutters it's not a ual supplement. It's because I'm the one who's out of shape! Onew's got abs, Minho's got 'em too, heck! Taemin doesn't even need it, he's got what he needs. Me? I'm just chopsticks." Key's eyes got watery. 

"If your that insecure, then just come to me, I'll list a thousand of ways your special! I'll do every-single-one of you guys." Jonghyun turned around.

"Then tell me." Key stopped him in his tracks.

"You've got talent; you're a jack of all trades, you're a social butterfly, everyone likes you, and here's the best one: You're taller than me." 

Everyone in the room mananged to laugh, "Stop. Please?"

"I will."

Everyone was feeling better'; lighter if thats a way to describe it. Except Minho, who was still sad about not getting to see his family. The only way he could see them at this time was if the group were to go on hiatus. He started to cry.

"Minho-ssi, why are you crying now?" Onew sat next to him. "Can we go on a hiatus?"  Their eyes popped as they heard his request. "I just need to..." He continues explaining, until coming to the conclusion.

Everyone went to sleep; the next day was a new day.

"Manager hyung," Onew called over their manager to their dorms that morning. "Yes?"

"We want a hiatus."

"Bwo?!"

A little explaining, tears, compromising and talking went on and about; from SHINee to Manager to Mr. Lee Soo Man of SM, it was decided. SHINee will be going on hiatus. What does this mean to the members? To Key it meant getting to work on the personal things he's wanted to take care of for a long time. For Minho it meant keeping his family together. What about the rest?

Netizens ask why. SM replies with a general account of 'personal reasons'.
SHINee has been finishing up ther Japan Arena Tour along with promoting their mini-album 'Sherlock'.
If these are because of Personal reasons? How in the world did SM allow this?
