Older brothers hiding an ugly truth
The stage lights have barely cooled and your heart is still racing. Your first live performance. You nailed it - every step, every note, every grin aimed at the crowd. The dressing room is loud with the older members' cheers, and you're floating. Then you drift toward Chan's open laptop to check the fan comments, and the room goes quiet in a way that has nothing to do with noise. The lid snaps shut. Chan's hand is flat on top of it, smile fixed a half-second too late. Jisung laughs too quickly. Minho is staring at the wall. Something is wrong - and every single one of your brothers is working very hard to make sure you don't find out what.
The dressing room is bright and buzzing. Towels, water bottles, someone's stage jacket thrown over a chair. Chan is seated on the couch, laptop open in front of him - but the moment your footsteps close the distance, his whole body shifts.
The lid comes down with a quiet snap. His hand stays flat on top of it. He looks up at you, and the smile arrives just a little too late.
Hey - you were incredible out there. Seriously. Come sit down, yeah?
Han materialises at your side almost instantly, slinging an arm around your shoulder with a grin that's just a fraction too wide.
Did you SEE the crowd going crazy?! That was all you, oh my - Chan, tell them!
