(One Day Earlier)

"Hyunjin what is wrong with you today?! The dance is simple!"

"I'm sorry sir."

"No time for I'm sorry. Get over here."

"Please...sir."

"Now!"

Hyunjin walked over to the man.

Park Ho-Min, the dance instructor. Hyunjin's worst enemy.

Ho-Min picked up the yard stick he had.

"Please sir...please..."

"No. Shut up. Get ready to get your punishment."

Hyunjin turned around.

Ho-Min proceeded to hit Hyunjin on his back with the yard stick.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Four.

Five.

"Ah! Ah! Please! Stop! It hurts!", Hyunjin cried.

He fell on his knees, rolling over in pain.

A young girl, who was sitting in the room, gets up and runs to him.

"JinJin? JinJin are you okay?", she asks.

"I'm fine...Gyu-Ri...", Hyunjin says.

Hwang Gyu-Ri, Hyunjin's baby sister, looks up at Ho-Min.

"Why are you hurting him! Leave my brother alone!"

"Your brother is a lazy good-for-nothing. You probably are too."

Ho-Min raised the yard stick to her.

Hyunjin got up in time to block the yard stick from hitting Gyu-Ri, and instead getting hit in the face.

"JinJin!", Gyu-Ri yelled.

Hyunjin groaned in pain.

"Don't worry JinJin...one day he'll get what's coming to him."

------------------------------------------------------

"What do you mean those aren't medicinal bruises?", Jisung asked.

"Those bruises have scratches over then. He was hit by something. Hard. Recently."

Jisung looked back at Hyunjin.

"We need to investigate this. Don't tell Minho until we are absolutely positive who did this to him."

"I won't hyung."

The two ran downstairs.

Chan was eating a bowl of Ramen.

"Chan hyung.", Jisung said.

"Yes?"

"Hyunjin has bruises on his back. We think someone hit him. Recently."

Chan dropped his chopsticks.

"What? Who would do that?"

"We don't know. Who was around Hyunjin recently besides us?", Jeongin asked.

Chan thought.

"Gyu-Ri."

"Huh?", Jisung said.

"Hyunjin's baby sister. Gyu-Ri. She was with him at the practice studio yesterday. She may know who did it.", Chan said.

"I'll call her.", Jisung said.

He left Chan and Jeongin in the dining room.

He went to the kitchen, which was empty besides Felix.

"Hello?", Jisung said, as the phone was picked up.

"Mr. Han?"

"Gyu-Ri. It's an emergency. Hyunjin is sick. And we think someone has been hurting him."

"Hyunjin didn't tell you?"

"Tell us what?"

"Ho-Min. Your hired dance instructor. He's been abusing Hyunjin."

"Excuse me?"

"That skinny weasel of a brother of mine said he would tell you all."

"Thank you so much Gyu-Ri."

"Keep me updated. And take care of my brother...please."

"We will."

Jisung hung up. Felix saw him ball his fists.

"Han? Are you alright?"

"Ho-Min has been abusing Hyunjin. He's the reason Hyunjin is in so much pain."

"Oh no..."

"I'm telling Minho."

Jisung left the kitchen. 

He got to Chan and Jeongin.

"Ready to kick a man's ass?", he said.

"Who?", Chan asked.

"Ho-Min."

"I've been wanting to kick his ass since he slapped me that time.", Jeongin said.

"He did what to you?", Chan said.

"Oop-"

Jisung went upstairs.

When he entered the room of Hyunjin and Minho, he saw a heartbreaking sight.

Hyunjin was crying as Minho tried to make him comfortable in the bed.

"Appa...hurt. Help Hyunnie."

"I know it hurts baby. Don't worry. I'll help you. I'll get whatever you need."

"It cold."

"Cold? Here, let's cover you with this."

Minho pulled the blankets over Hyunjin. The little snuggled up in them, wincing in pain a few times, and sneezing.

"I'm sorry baby. I...maybe I gave you the wrong medicine...", Minho said.

Jisung noticed he started to cry, but turned away from Hyunjin.

That's when he stepped in.

"Minho. We need to talk."

Minho looked up at him.

"Okay. Uh, Hyunnie, appa will be right back."

"Mmm.", Hyunjin replied, closing his eyes again.

Minho walked up to Jisung, who pulled him from the room.

"I know why Hyunjin has those bruises."

"Yeah, I know. It's me...that medicine-"

"No. It's not. It was...Ho-Min."

Minho tilted his head in confusion.

"Jeongin could tell those weren't medicinal bruises. I looked into it, and Gyu-Ri told me that Ho-Min has been abusing Hyunjin. He probably hit him extremely hard with something."

Minho's fists balled up.

Jisung said genuine anger in Minho's eyes for the first time in a while.

"Jisung. Stay here with Hyunjin."

"But-"

"Stay. Here.", Minho said sternly.

Jisung nodded in agreement.

Minho walked downstairs.

As soon as the other members noticed him, they could tell it was time.

"You ready to go Minho?", Felix said.

"Yep. Felix, get me a knife."

"Whoa whoa, if you harm him-", Chan started.

"I don't give a single, individual, one-time-use, paper cup fuck what happens if I harm him.", Minho said.

Felix came back with the biggest knife in the kitchen.

"Good. Let's go boys."

---------------------------------------------------------

Entering the dance studio, Minho saw Ho-Min, inspecting a mirror.

"Ah, Minho, how are you?", he asked.

"Good. Unlike you're about to be."

Minho walked up to him, giving him a left hook across his face.

"What the hell?!"

"You put your hands on my boyfriend! You need more than to get punched."

Minho hit him again, knocking him down.

The other members watched proudly, enjoying the screams of Ho-Min as he was repeatedly hit in the face.

"Felix, the knife."

"The what?!", Ho-Min said.

"Shut up bastard! You hurt Hyunjin. He's at home, sick, crying in pain because YOU thought you could put your hands on him and get away with it? Well no...you can't hit someone...if you don't have the hands to do it."

Minho held down Ho-Min's left arm.

"Minho, wait...please don't hurt me."

"Did Hyunjin beg you not to hurt him?"

Ho-Min got quiet.

"I thought so."

Minho swung the knife down, cleanly chopping off Ho-Min's left hand.

The dance instructor screamed in pain as he thrashed around.

"Clean up after yourself, piece of shit."

-------------------------------------------------------

"And so I said that it was a mistake."

"But lady say she no sell mango?"

"She literally had them right there!"

"That illegal Hannie."

"You're supposed to be on my side, Hyunjin."

Jisung heard the footsteps of who he knew very well was Minho, coming back up.

He opened the door, quietly.

"There's my baby! Hi angel!"

Hyunjin slowly sat up, reaching for Minho.

Of course, Minho hugged him, kissing him on the forehead.

"How did it go?", Jisung asked.

"Let's just say..."

Minho looked at Hyunjin.

"...I hope he's not left handed."
