A Space Called YOU (Bang Chan x reader)

Comes Crashing Down

The next morning I ran into my mom at the store. She waved me down as soon as she saw a glimpse of me, I began to walk over when her smile turned into a frown. I guess you could see it in my face. How upset I was. My whole world came crashing down and now I was barely slipping by.

"Are you okay?" She asked with a soft tone.

"I'm fine." I smiled. "Just been super busy."

"I got your voicemail yesterday. Did something happen at work?" Do I tell her?

"We just got our schedule back for the new week and turns out I am slammed with so much. I'm a bit stressed out." I lied.

"Are you on your way now?"

"Yeah, I stopped by for a quick snack. I wasn't in the mood for making breakfast." She rubbed my shoulder.

"Don't worry about anything. Focus on what's best for you." She smiled, pulling me in. "I'll take you out some other time, you need your space right now."

"I'll make it up to you." I hugged her back, on the brink of tears. "I should get going, I'm going to be late." I mentioned as I grabbed my snack from the cashier and got back in my car.

As I walked into the building there were whispers amongst everyone. Avoiding any kind of eye contact with me as I turned the corner and went down the hall. "Hyung, I.." I stopped Taehyun before he could even get another word out when I saw a picture of the day Dongyeon kissed me by surprise.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I handed him back his phone. "Where'd you find that?"

"Someone posted it in twitter." He mentioned, scrolling through the feed. "The account doesn't have a huge following so I think it's going to be okay."

"How'd they even get that?" I ran my hands through my hair out of frustration.

"I'm not sure. Looks like it was taken by someone outside of that window." He pointed to the one next to us. "I assume it's some fan."

"Let's go." I said quietly as I walked into the room and closed the door. The rest of the members were already waiting for us to come in. "Today's really busy so let's just get this over with." It was our first stage performance in a while.

Hours passed and all I could think about was Chan and how he was dealing with all of this. I hadn't seen him since that night. In those hours I was tossed around by hair, makeup, and outfit stylists as we got ready to perform.

When it was time to go on stage, I felt a pit in my stomach. Thousands of people lined up to see us and after everything that happened I was too nervous to think of any good that could come out of this.

"Are you ready?" Jena came up to me and patted my shoulder.

"Yeah." She smiled, before she walked away I grabbed her. "Did you ever talk to Gigi?"

"I mean we work together so of course we talk but no I haven't talked to her about what happened."

"You should." I insisted. "I think this is something you should discuss after the show."

"I know. I'm just letting her have some space right now." She smiled softly. "Come on." She nudged me and I followed.

As we set foot on stage, I could feel my heart sink. Although people cheered, I couldn't help but noticed a consistent amount of insults being thrown at me. There were thousands of people so the screams all over lapped with one another but every now and then I'd hear one or two from the distance. Nonetheless, I kept my composure. "We are MIXUP." We chanted together as the song began to play.

Mid way I noticed that I kept bumping into Taehyun. I frantically apologized when I noticed that he wasn't giving as much energy as he normally did. He seemed tired and his cheeks were flushed with a pale face. We kept dancing despite my own concerns. Jena had noticed it to and was constantly looking over to me to make sure that I knew.

As soon as we hit the end of the song, Taehyun collapsed. We ran to him as we heard the gasps in the crowd. "Tae!" I rushed over as I bent down. He was unconscious.

"Let me help." Dongyeon pulled me aside and lifted Taehyun, carrying him off stage as we all followed behind.

The show was postponed due to his injury. Two hours after the incident, he was still unconscious and in the hospital. "He's severely dehydrated and malnourished." The doctor informed us. "We have given him some fluids that should help for now." We all nodded as we sat outside of the room waiting for him to wake up.

"Y/n!" I heard a familiar voice as I turned around to see Felix rushing over to me. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine." I smiled giving him some relief. "He just needs rest and lots of fluids."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah of course." I smiled once again. "I'm not supposed to ask but is Chan doing well?"

"He's not been the same but he's taking it well for now." He reassured me. "He asks about you all the time, but I can't give him any answers at work."

"I know."

"You should head home and get some rest. I'll stay here with him for a while and I'll keep you updated. You look like you could use the rest." He insisted, at first I denied but then I agreed and began to walk out of the hospital.

My phone was practically dead by the time I got home. It was late at night and I had been gone since 7am. I noticed notifications from twitter of fans tagging me in all sorts of stuff, but there was one fan that I noticed in particular.

You're nothing but a whore! You were cheating on Chan this entire time and you can't even deny it. Chan deserves way better than you!

I turned my phone off and rolled over as I ignored everyone's comments about the situation.
