Taeyang's horrified gaze roved over the whole scene. He didn't say anything, didn't make a sound. His mind refused to comprehend exactly what it was he was seeing.

"Young-Bae-hyung?" he heard Seungri call curiously from the other room. Taeyang's frozen limbs unlocked and he stumbled from the room, mumbling, "Oh my god, oh my god." over and over again. As he got back to the doorway, he tripped on the carpet, landing on his back in the hall. The others were seriously concerned now, as this was unusual behavior for him.

He got onto his hands and knees, feeling a rush of nausea rise up from his stomach. Just as the others reached him, he threw up everything he had and retched, again and again.

"Young-Bae, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Top asked, kneeling beside him. GD made to go into the bedroom, but Taeyang stopped him with a harsh whisper.

"Don't go in there!"

GD stopped short. "Why not?" he asked, dread starting to creep through his body.

By now, Taeyang was sobbing. "D . . . Daesung . . . it's Daesung . . ." then he was rendered practically incoherent by tears. "Why did he do that?"

He closed his eyes to block their worried faces out, but all he could see was Daesung's still body on the bed.

"What's wrong with him?" Top asked.

Taeyang didn't say anything. He took Seungri's outstretched arm and pulled himself up into a sitting position. He leaned, trembling against the wall, his shaking hands shoved in his sweatshirt pockets.

Despite Taeyangs warning, Top cautiously entered the bedroom. He walked over to the bed and bent over what he thought was Daesung's sleeping form. As he leaned over, he caught sight of the weapon on the floor and reeled back instictively.

He rejoined the others in the hall a minute later, eyes wide and shocked.

"We need to call manager-hyung. Now." he whispered.

"Why? What's going on?" Seungri demanded.

"It's Daesung." Top muttered, pulling out his cell phone.

"What about him?"

Taeyang glanced up at him. "He's dead."

Seungri and GD just gaped at him. "What?" they asked together, both in blank tones.

"He . . . he . . . s . . . shot himself." tears started streaming from Taeyangs eyes again. No one spoke, except for Top, who had gotten their manager on the phone.

"Hyung, we need you to come right now . . . I know you're busy, this is an emergency . . . no. It absolutely can't wait . . . it's . . . it's Daesung . . . I think he shot himself." he pulled the phone away from his ear abruptly and turned to the others. "He's coming."

-------------------------------------------------

I decided that Taeyang would take this extremely hard, way harder than the rest of them. If you're curious, keep reading and see how they deal with this!

And again, please don't kill me for this. Daesung is my bias and I would NEVER want this to happen.

Please comment!
