Hope you enjoy!

One evening, the rest of the group noticed something unusual. Sebastian, Justin, and Darren were becoming inseparable. They started hanging out together more often, sharing inside jokes, and even being unusually touchy in their videos.

Ryan, raised an eyebrow and remarked, "What's going on with you three? Seems like you're joined at the hip lately."

Sebastian, Justin, and Darren exchanged glances but remained tight-lipped about the reason for their newfound closeness.

Late one night, after a heavy rainstorm had passed, Justin and Darren were driving back home from a studio session. They crossed a bridge, the only car on the empty road, when Justin spotted a figure dangerously close to the edge of the bridge. He slammed on the brakes, and he and Darren rushed out of the car.

To their horror, it was Sebastian. He was on the verge of jumping off the bridge. Panicked and desperate, Justin and Darren pleaded with Sebastian, offering comfort and support. It took hours of reassurance and heartfelt conversations, but they managed to convince Sebastian to step back from the edge.

From that night on, their bond grew stronger than ever before. The trio had been keeping Sebastian's struggle a secret from everyone, even Oliver. They leaned on each other for support and found solace in their newfound friendship.

As the days went by, the group couldn't ignore the change in dynamics. Regie finally confronted them, "Guys, what's really going on? We can see that something deep brought you three together."

Sebastian took a deep breath and shared the harrowing experience from that rainy night on the bridge. The room fell silent as his friends absorbed the gravity of the situation.

Kane, Justin, and Darren exchanged nods, understanding and as a group, they decided to support Sebastian through his difficult time.

Oliver entered the room, his sweet smile still in place, but he could sense the tension in the air. He looked around at his friends and raised an eyebrow. "Hey, what's going on? You guys seem pretty serious. What were you all talking about?"

Sebastian's gaze remained fixed on the floor, his fingers nervously picking at his nails. He struggled to find the words, but the weight of the secret was too heavy to bear alone. Taking a deep breath, he finally managed to speak, though his voice quivered.

"It's... it's something I need to tell you, Oli," Sebastian began, his eyes welling up with tears. "But I couldn't find the right time, and I didn't want to burden you with it."

Oliver's expression shifted from curiosity to concern. He knelt down in front of Sebastian, gently lifting his brother's chin to make eye contact. "Seb, you can tell me anything. We're brothers, and we're in this together. Whatever it is, we'll face it as a team."

Sebastian swallowed hard and looked into Oliver's eyes. "It's about that night... the night on the bridge. Justin and Darren... they saved me, Oli. I was so close to... doing something I shouldn't have. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

Oliver's smile faded as he processed Sebastian's revelation. His eyes filled with empathy and understanding. He pulled Sebastian into a tight embrace, holding him close. "I'm just glad they were there for you, Seb. You don't have to apologize. You're my little brother, and your well-being means everything to me."

The members watched in silence, their support evident in their expressions. Kane spoke up, breaking the silence, "We're all here for you, Seb, no matter what. You're not alone in this."

Sebastian felt a weight lift off his shoulders as he realized he didn't have to carry his burden in isolation any longer. With his brother and friends by his side, he knew he could face the challenges ahead.
