When N was just about to go to the living room, he saw Ken who was standing in front of Leo’s and his own room.

Ken cried there while covering his mouth with his hands. N was surprised to see that. Then, he approached him, and asked him what happened.

“Ken-ah, what happened? Why are you crying?”

“hyung.....”

“why? Tell me what makes you cry”

Suddenly, Ken hugged N and he cried on his shoulder. N patted his back patiently, wondering what was going on.

After crying, N led him to his room, and asked him what happened. And Ken told him everything. He told the incident that he saw back there.

N burst into tears. So, they both cried together. They really had no idea about what was going on.

Suddenly, N heard crying sobs from outside the room, and when he turned to look at the door, he saw Hongbin and Hyuk who were crying as well.

N and Ken were very surprised to see that. So, it meant that Hogbin and Hyuk heard their conversation.

Then, Hongbin and Hyuk entered N’s and Ravi’s room, and he joined talking to Ken and N.

“hyung.. Now, we all know that Leo-hyung has been self-harming. So, please don’t hide anything from us again.” Said Hongbin, and Hyuk nodded.

“alright.” Replied N and Ken together

“and, what should we do?” asked Hyuk

“I think we should treat Leo better.” Said N

“so, do we have to pretend like we don’t know about it?” asked Hongbin

“Yes. I think it would be better.” Replied Ken

“alright then.”

At night, the members practiced their dances like always. They practiced in the room of their entertainment’s building. And at that time, the manager (Jongwan) kept an eye on them.

Leo looked so pale, and he looked sick. He didn’t eat for the whole day. So, no wonder if he looked so pale and sick.

He didn’t make any mistake, he just danced weakly without passion.

Jongwan realized that Leo didn’t dance like the way he always did. So, he stopped the music, and the members looked at him with confused face.

“Leo, you should dance energetically.” Said Jongwan

Then, Leo apologized by bowing his head.

“okay, get to your position again.”

Jongwan played the music, and he kept an eye on Leo. In the middle of the song, he stopped the music again. He scolded Leo for not being energetic.

“Leo, what’s wrong with you? Do you always dance like this when I’m not around?”

“I’m sorry.” Said Leo

“do you know how bad your dance move?”

“I’m sorry.”

“hyung, Leo-hyung is a bit sick. So, please understand.” Said N

“sick?”

Then, Jongwan approached Leo and he placed his hands to Leo’s forehead.

“what? N, you called this as sick?” asked Jongwan, raising his tone.

“having normal body temperature doesn't always mean that someone is healthy."

 “how dare you talk back to me?”

“hyung..."

“just stop this nonsense. You are a leader, so you should lead your members well. And what you just did, is only making him worse!”

“hyung, what the hell are you talking about?” asked Ravi

“what? How dare you talk like that to your hyung!”

“you aren’t our hyung.” Said Ravi with his sterm voice

“excuse me?” Jongwan raised his tone.

“Ravi-ya...” Leo called him in order to warn him.

“why hyung? It’s enough for him to do such a thing.” Said Ravi

“what did I do?” asked Jongwan

“what the hell! Hyung, I’m not in the mood for joking!” said Ravi, raising his tone

“enough! How could you say that?”

“hyung, why are you being like this?” asked Ken to Jongwan

“why? It’s because of you!”

“hyung, why do you suddenly blame Ken?” asked Leo

“just mind your own business”

Jongwan left the members in confusion. They couldn’t understand what was going on.

“hyung, are you okay?” asked Ken to Leo

“I’m okay. And Ravi-ya, why did you say that to Jongwan-hyung?”

“why? He always hurts us. And I don’t want him to do that anymore” said Ravi

“Ravi-ya, how did you know?” asked Ken

“he showed that by his behavior.”

“Ravi-ya, thank you.” Said N

“what for?”

“everything. You should be the leader.”

“what do you mean?”

“you have the abilities to be a leader.”

“No, I don’t. You do.”

“but I couldn’t even talk like that to Jongwan-hyung. I know I’m such a coward.”

“hyung, no. You’re not a coward. It’s because you are too kind.”

“yes, Ravi-hyung is right. You’re far too kind, hyung.” Added Hongbin

“no, I’m not that kind.”

“anyway, you should tell him if he goes too far.” Said Ravi

Then, suddenly Jongwan showed up in the room again.

“Are you talking behind my back?” asked Jongwan to the members

Nobody answered.

“why don’t you answer me?”

“hyung, what brings you here?” asked N, ignoring Jongwan’s question

“why? Can’t I come here?”

“hyung, it’s not like that.”

“then what?” Jongwan asked with very annoying tones, and that made N uncomfortable with it. So, N only shook his head.

“why? Tell me!” Yelled Jongwan

“hyung, why are you yelling at N-hyung?” asked Leo to Jongwan

“because he is wrong.”

“Jongwan-hyung, seriously. What’s wrong with you?” asked Hongbin
