"Lean on me."
It hurtsSeungho barely able to evade the plate that came flying his way. "Byunghee!" He shouted in fury. This was getting out of hand. It all started when Seungho voiced out his opinion to get a specialist's help. To consult with a psychiatrist. And here they were. Shouting at each other and GO kept throwing things in Seungho's direction.
"I don't want to! I'm not crazy!" GO shouted back in fury. He threw a glasses to the wall and it shattered the second it made contact with the wall near the doorway to the kitchen sending glass shards flying everywhere. GO inhaled a sharp breath and frozen in his place.
Seungho rose his brows at the sudden shock and fear that was painting GO's face. He turned around and saw Mir standing at the doorway. A duffle bag next to his feet and his hand was cupping his left cheek. The leader's eyes slowly went wide when he finally saw crimson fluid slowly seeping through in between Mir's finger. He ran towards the maknae who was hanging his head low, face scrunched up in pain.
"Cheolyong... Let me see." He said softly as he cupped Mir's hand and slowly removed it from the boy's cheek. Long red line of wound had break the smooth skin there. Blood still seeping through the cut. Seungho turned in rage towards GO.
GO flinched back. Guilt evident in his eyes but when he blinked, it disappeared and was replaced by cold, hating eyes. He just walked past the two figures, pausing a few steps away only to say, "Why come back when you left on your own." It was a mere statement. A statement to show how Mir was unwanted after the maknae had left him without words. GO then kept walking until the sound of the door to his room being slammed close echoed in the dorm.
Sighing, Seungho turned his attention to the still shocked maknae. He guided the youngest to the living room only leaving for a minute to get first aid kit from the kitchen. He started to clean the wound. It wasn't that deep and wouldn't leave a scar fortunately.
"Are you okay now?" Seungho asked after finished covering the wound with a plaster.
Mir shook his head. "I can't be okay if I am away from you two."
Seungho put the kit away from him. His features tensed as he covered Mir's hand in his. "Listen, Cheolyong. You saw how Byunghee is. This is getting too far. If you stay here, you'll get dragged down by him."
Mir smiled. The sincerity in the maknae's smile took Seungho off his guard and he found himself mesmerized at the sight. Mir cupped Seungho's cheek. "Hyung... You can lean on me now."
As the maknae the leader's cheek with his thumb, it became the final strong impact that sent the wall of strong facade that Seungho has built around him into crumbled mess, leaving his vulnerable side fully exposed to the youngest. He fall forward against Mir's chest and wept like a small child. He let Mir comfort him. He leaned fully on the maknae. Finally letting Mir shared his burden. Letting Mir shaded him and protected him as if he was the younger one.
"I won't leave." Mir whispered as he shifted on the couch so Seungho could be more comfortable in his hold as he ran his finger through the red locks. He rocked the sobbing leader, whispering soothing words and promises that everything will be fine. Everything will be fine again. It didn't matter how small and weak his shoulder was, he would still give it to his hyungs to cry on even if it will break.

Mir tucked Seungho in his bed before he made way to GO's room. He knocked on the locked door. No answer. Mir sighed and leaned forward so his forehead was against the door.
"Hyung... I'm sorry that I left." He started. Though GO didn't answer, Mir heard sound of shifting from inside the room. "Are you sad...?" Mir asked in innocent way that he hadn't shown for quite a while. Still no answer. Mir turned and leaned his back on the door. He slowly slid down on the cold, hard floor. "I'll stay here." He informed.
And he did stay. If GO decided to make a secluded world of his own. A nest for him and his solitary, Mir would want to join in. Not because he wanted to run away from the reality like GO, but because he wanted to be the link that connected GO to the reality. He would stay with GO in that secluded nest until one day, when GO would be okay again, and they would walk out of that nest with smiles on their face. Ready to face the world.
