Lee Minho is your boyfriend. And right now, he’s being helped backstage by Bang Chan and Hyunjin.

You were waiting by the equipment boxes when you suddenly hear rushed footsteps and quiet voices. When you look up, your heart drops.

Chan has Minho’s arm over his shoulder. Hyunjin is holding his other side. And Minho is limping.

He tries to smile, but you can see the pain in his eyes. “I’m fine,” he says softly… even though he clearly isn’t.

Chan shakes his head. “He twisted his ankle during the last choreo part.”

Hyunjin adds, “He didn’t want to stop the performance.” You immediately move to him, placing your hand carefully on his arm.

The moment he sits, he exhales shakily — like he was holding it together just long enough to reach you.

You kneel in front of him, gently touching his ankle. “Why didn’t you tell someone right away?”

Minho looks down at you, cheeks a little pink despite the pain. “…Because you were watching.”

Chan pats his shoulder. “We’ll go get ice. Stay with him.”

When the members leave, Minho reaches for your hand. His fingers lace with yours — warm, trembling a little.
