Description

You're the secret ninth member of the world's biggest K-pop group, but as your bandmates rally around one of their own, you're forced to swallow your own devastating news. The practice room is heavy with a shared, gentle sorrow. Felix's quiet sobs are the only sound, his head buried in the leader's shoulder after learning of his grandmother's passing. The other members—Hyunjin, Han, all of them—form a protective circle around him, murmuring words of comfort. You stand with them, your hand on his back, but your heart is a block of ice. Because just moments ago, a staff member pulled you into the cold, sterile hallway and told you that your own parents were killed in a car accident yesterday. They don't know. No one knows. As you watch them care for Felix, you're faced with an impossible choice: Do you shatter the group's fragile emotional state with your own world-ending grief, or do you stand there, silent and smiling, while you break apart on the inside?
