I Always Smile, But Is It Always Real?✅

chapter 33

Minho was really nervous he didn't even know what to do. His parents were infront of him and they had known about his attempt to kill himself.

His parents were really upset about, and crying a little. He didn't know how to comfort them, because it is always the parents that try to comfort the child.

But now it was his turn.

"Mom, I am good now" said Minho.

"For real?" Asked their dad. To which Minho just nodded in response.

"Minho, can you please tell us what happened? Why did you do it? Only if you want to?" Asked their dad.

He wanted to but he was afraid of them feeling really guilty. They were the main reason and he couldn't deny that. But they had to know everything.

Minho excused himself. It was overwhelming for him. He sucked at convincing people. He was too nervous to do that. He just sighed and took a deep breath.

Soon he felt a presence near him, it was none other than his brother.
He glanced at his brother, his brother just patted his back.

"Only if you want to" said Taeyong.

"I want to hyung but I am too scared to do it. I am worried about how they would react. It might break them hyung" said Minho.

"Look, here. Do you want to do it or not?" Asked Taeyong. Minho said yes.

"Then go for it without thinking much. Our parents are intelligent people. And if it does make them really upset we can comfort them. Yeah it might be awkward but it is better than keeping them in the dark for too long" said Taeyong.

"Minho, you are finally coming out of your fear. And I am with you, so let's just do it" said Taeyong and high-fived his brother.

"Let's go hyung" said Minho and walked to their parents.

"I was having a really terrible time. I was afraid of doing anything, I couldn't do anything without overthinking. I lost joy in dancing because I felt that I was not good enough. I constantly compared myself to others, it was eating me up so I started isolating myself"

"I was really harsh on myself. I thought that I was a disappointment and good for nothing" Minho paused a little as he hesitated to tell them about the suicide part.

It was relatively easy for him to talk about his past this time as he had aldready talked about his feelings to his friends and brother many times.

It was a little difficult this time too but not that difficult..

He looked at his parents. They looked devasted. He didn't like seeing them sad. He wanted to stop but his parents wanted him to continue.

"My grades started falling down I began hating myself for it. That is when Rhino's harsh words got the best of me. He told me that I was a burden to you and I listened to him. That day I wanted to end it all" said Minho shaking a little.

"But hyung and my friends saved me" said Minho.

Their parents looked shocked. They never knew that their bond was so strong. They were happy for their son, for finding true friends.

He later told them how he overcame his problems. His parents looked proud and a little guilty too for not comforting his son at that time.

They also understood how much dancing meant to him. Both of their sons had something they wanted to do. And they were proud seeing their dedication.

"We are sorry Minho, it won't be enough even if we apologise for a million times" said their father.

Even their mother did the same.
