A frustrated cry escaped Jonghyun's lips as he punched the door to his bedroom. No one else could see him, but there were tears present as they silently created streams along his cheeks. He could hear a few of the other group members running up the hall and he quickly flipped the lock on the door- he did not want anyone to see him like this.

"Jonghyun?"

"Hyung?"

"Jonghyun-hyung?"

The calls from the other three came through the door. They had no way of knowing what he was feeling right now, they were oblivious to what had happened between them. As group members it was always welcome to get some time away from the others, but there was one exception for him. One member he wanted to hold close and never let go; but that was no longer an option for him.

"Are you okay, hyung? Please, speak to me!"

Minho's voice made its way through Jonghyun's reverie. If he was honest, Jonghyun could see the look in the other's eyes. Minho didn't want to admit it- not that Jonghyun could blame him- but almost all of the members knew that Minho was harboring feelings for the older singer. It wasn't because of Minho he had ended up like this though. Actually, if it was Minho, he never would have had to feel this pain. The younger was too honest and kind-hearted to let someone he cared about go like this.

"Jonghyun-hyung! Did something happen?"

It was Taemin this time, the youngest one knew how to act to get a crowd of girls fawning over him, but in reality he was the sweetest and most childish member. He wouldn't know how to hurt someone the way Jonghyun was aching right now- not purposely, anyway. Jonghyun admired that in the youngest member.

"You have to the count of three, and then I'll be using the key to open this door Kim Jonghyun."

Onew, the caring and clumsy oldest member. The one Jonghyun looked to like an older brother. Even when he was completely forthright in handling a matter like this in such a brazen matter, Jonghyun still looked up to him a bit.

"One..."

"Onew-hyung, please don't."

"Two..."

"Taemin, help me?"

"Three."

The hallway outside of Jonghyun's room went silent as he stared at the door from his bed. He figured that Taemin and Minho had forced Onew away from the door, which was just fine by him. Should he face them? But what was he to say? That Kibum was the reason he was like this? What good would that do? After a minute or two of the never-ending questions battling his conscious, Jonghyun stood up, his eyes shining with anger and pain; as the sound of a key sliding into the lock reached his ears.

Staring at the door, he started to tremble as the younger came into view. The instant the other closed the door, Jonghyun found himself crossing the short distance between them and collapsing against the taller one. As fresh tears slid down his cheeks, he clutched at the jersey the younger wwas wearing.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm here for you. What happened, hyung?"

"M-Minho... I-I..."

"It was Key-hyung, right?" Minho's voice was still gentle, but Jonghyun could hear the slightly upset undertone he was desperately trying to mask.

Giving a slight nod, Jonghyun continued, "T-tonight was our one m-month anniversary..." came the first choked sentence before he took a deep breath, "B-but, he broke up with me! H-he said that h-he really isn't into d-dating guys a-after all..."

Jonghyun's voice was weak and quiet in the room, but he relaxed against Minho as he cried himself into a stupor. The younger picked Jonghyun up and took him to the bed. Laying the elder on the bed, Minho waited until Jonghyun had calmed down and appeared to be sleeping before moving to leave.

As he was about to stand up, he felt a weak grasp on his hand, "Minho... d-don't leave me alone tonight... please?" Jonghyun whispered, his eyes screwed closed as tight as he could get them. He didn't like feeling so vulnerable, but he didn't want to face Kibum, just in case.

With a soft sigh, Minho nodded to himself befor silently getting in bed beside Jonghyun and hugging him once again. He wanted to make Jonghyun feel safe and comfortable; so he was grateful when he heard the elder's breathing even out just as he felt himself loosing consciousness.
