He couldn't be hearing right, Taemin couldn't be saying those things, not the Taemin he knew.

"What did you say, Minnie?" He asked with quivering voice.

"Don't think about me, hyung...Just concentrate in your recovery" He answered, not daring to say it again.

"Taemin... you, you can't be talking like this, everything is going to be fine and..."

"No! Please, nothing is fine, not in the slightest" He opened his teary eyes and looked at Minho "Everything is over for me so forget about what I used to be..."

"T-Taemin..." Minho couldn't find words, it couldn't be true "Don't say this"

"Mister Choi, Mister Lee needs to rest, you can see him tomorrow" The doctor appeared, making Minho curse, he couldn't leave Taemin after hearing what he said.

"Minho, what's wrong?" Onew asked.

"How's my baby?" Key tried to sit up, making Jonghyun jump out of his bed to help him.

"Taemin... Taemin is not right" He said, with his trembling voice. He walked to his bed and collapsed on it, giving his back to the others.

"Yah! Minho, you can't leave us like this!" Key demanded "Tell us what happened!"

"He gave up..."

The air in the room became heavy, no one could understand completely what his band mate just said. Did Taemin said he quit SHINee? Or was something else?
