"Why all this drama keeps happening around hyung. Why everything keeps blowing up in our faces."
"Taekyung..." Doyun warned.
"No, seriously. Why doesn't he just expose those women? Tell everyone the real truth about what they did?"
Doyun moved forward.
About to shut him down.
But Haejin held up his hand.
"It's okay."
His voice was quiet.
Tired.
"He's right to ask."
"Hyung, you don't have to..."
"No. I do." Haejin took a shaky breath. "There are... there are things I've never told you guys. Things I wished you never had to know."
The room went silent.
Heavy.
"But maybe... maybe it's time."
Soorin sat forward.
Something in his tone made her chest tighten.
"When those women... when they came onto me... it wasn't the first time something like that happened."
Doyun frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Haejin's hands were shaking again.
"I mean... fuck... I mean I know what it's like. To be... to be pursued by someone who has power over you. To feel trapped."
His voice broke.
