WARNING: A LOT OF SWEARING. FIGHTING - not really detailed. 

Chaehyun couldn't say he knew what he had done. Usually, he had some kind of hunch for everyone being in a mood with him but today? No clue. He had woken up on time, got in the car on time and turned up for the meeting on time and he couldn't recall giving any attitude. So why the hell was everyone being blunt with him? 

It had started that morning when he found Jeno in the cafeteria, the younger boy completely froze up before making a lame excuse to get out of the conversation. Then Lucas left him on seen and then after that, even the janitor made some sly comments that Chaehyun couldn't really understand. Chaehyun didn't know whether to be irritated or confused because he hadn't done anything wrong - at least, he didn't think he did.  

When he thought things couldn't get any weirder, Taeyong decided to drop a bombshell on him. He had been heading up the stairs when he saw a pissed off looking leader and boy did he blow up when he saw Chaehyun. 

"Oh, so you have the nerve to show your face? How could you do this to us? You didn't even think to discuss it with us! I'm so fucking angry with you right now, I don't even want to look at you. I'll see you around, Lachlan." Taeyong bumped his shoulder as he headed down the stairs. He barely ever called Chaehyun 'Lachlan', so he must have done something pretty bad. 

Chaehyun stood frozen on the spot, completely baffled by that outburst though his confusion swiftly turned into irritation. Stomping up the steps, he threw the door open and rounded the corner. Pushing the door open to the meeting room, he found half of his members sitting there looking equally as pissed off as Taeyong. The meeting didn't start for another fifteen minutes, which gave Chaehyun enough time to find out what was going on. 

"Firstly, wipe those glares off of your faces because if I see another scowl in my direction I'm actually going to flip. Why the fuck am I being yelled at in a hallway, left on read by Lucas and given a shitty excuse from Jeno to get out of a conversation with me? What the actual fuck is going on?" You could say, Chaehyun is always one to get right to the point without caring of how he sounds and right now, he sounded very aggravated. 

Doyoung scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Don't act like you're completely clueless Lachlan. You know why we're pissed and now because you're being confronted, you don't like it." 

Chaehyun laughed, shaking his head. He was starting to get very angry and they could all tell which is why Jungwoo shared a worried look with Yuta, something bad was going to go down. They could just tell. 

"Do I look like a fucking actor to you?" 

Johnny stood up prompting Chaehyun to turn to face him. "Lachlan, you better calm down now or else we're going to have a problem. You're our family but if you don't calm down then were seriously going to have a problem." 

"Family? HA. Tell me you're having a laugh because this is not the way you treat your 'family' at all. From the second I stepped into this building I've been receiving nasty looks and I don't even know what I've fucking done wrong and it's starting to piss me off. So, threaten me with a 'problem' all you want, I couldn't give any less of a shit. The worst has been done, my own fucking 'family' has turned against me and won't even tell me why. So, punch me, Johnny. Do it. Make me bleed. I could not give a flying fuck." 

Johnny and Chaehyun were very close to each other now, dangerous glints in both of their eyes. Jaehyun stood up to intervene but before anyone could stop him, Johnny pushed Chaehyun back harshly and that one action caused a fight to break out. The two managed to get a few punches in before Jaehyun and Taeil pulled them apart just as the door opened. Horrified staff members rushed in followed by Taeyong. 

Taeil and Jaehyun took a fuming Chaehyun out of the room. He had a burst lip but that was about it thankfully, the fight was stopped before it could properly start. Their manager was furious, but Chaehyun wasn't even listening to what anyone was saying, he was far too lost in his own thoughts, wondering why it's always him that gets the shit. Wondering what he could've possibly done in his past life to have such bad karma in this one. 

"I suppose you're leaving today anyway, so you decided to just leave with a bang hmm?" His manager snapped, finally catching Chaehyun's attention. 

"Leaving? Where am I going?" Now it was their turn to look confused. His manager, Jaehyun and Taeil all stood with utter bafflement plastered across their faces. "Hello? Where am I going?" 

His manager glanced at the two idols next to him before turning back to Chaehyun with furrowed eyebrows. "Y-you seriously have no idea what is going on do you?" 

Chaehyun shook his head. 

"Wait, so you haven't been planning to leave SM?" 

"I mean, I had no intentions of leaving...up until now." Chaehyun's words caused the three to pale. "Why would I stay with a bunch of people who decided to hate me before asking me for the full story? Keep them away from me, I want to be alone and I want nothing to do with them." 

Chaehyun didn't care for details, he didn't want to even know where the idea of him leaving had come from. He just wanted to be away from them which is why he stood up and walked away, not even bothering to look back as Jaehyun called out for him. They had all doubted him, including Lucas and that's something Chaehyun was struggling to wrap his head around. 

He just wanted to be alone.
