IT ENDS WITH YOU?

Cheol hyung got out of control, he wouldn't stop. Rest of the stray kids members were standing behind Chan trying to protect.

"HYUNG STOP IT!", Mingyu shouted at Cheol for the first time in his whole lifetime.
All the 20 pair of eyes shifted onto him.
"Do you even know why Lili left you! Because she was worried about you! She was scared she'll ruin your career. She had to pretend to cheat on You with Chan so you can still enjoy your fame, your love for music", Mingyu said in the loudest he ever did, making all of us look at him in a shock.

He continued, "SHE WAS CARRYING YOUR KID, SHE INDIRECTLY ASKED MANY TIMES IF YOU WANTED TO BE A FATHER, BUT YOU ALWAYS CHOSE MUSIC AND FAME OVER A FAMILY, SHE DID NOT WANT TO RUIN YOUR IMAGE, SHE PRETENDED TO FIGHT SO SHE CAN BREAKUP AND GO BACK TO INDIA TO RAISE YOURS AND HER KID ALONE! SHE IS STRUGGLING THERE HYUNG", Mingyu said making all of us look at Mingyu in disbelief.

"She was pregnant?", thats all Cheol hyung said.
"Yes hyung, yes she was, only me and Chan knew about it, I found out her reports", Mingyu said.
Cheol hyung fell on the group holding his head with both his hands as a tear escaped his eyes.

"Hyung, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before", Chan said bowing down to chan a little, "now we'll leave", Chan said looking at his teammates.
"Chan-ah, Mianhae", Cheol hyung said still on the floor with tears overflowing.
Chan lightly tapped on Cheol hyung's shoulder and proceeded to go out.

Dino, vernon, woozi, minghao, jun, jeonghan and I proceeded to drop them to the van.
"I am sorry about all of this, he's not a bad person, after Lili left, he completely shattered, I hope you understand", Hannie hyung said giving Chan a tissue to wipe his lip in the lift while we were going down to basement.
"She loved him so much, more than anyone would ever think of, She was shattered too, she's in so much pain, she is dealing alone with the pregnancy and all", Chan said wiping his lip.

We gave our final goodbyes to Stray kids and rushed to the dorm quick.

Mingyu's pov:
I let out everything I was hiding in anger. I left everyone in the balcony and took off to my room, locked the room and texted Lili first.

"Lili-ya Mianhae, I know you trusted me so much but I broke your trust. Cheol hyung punched Chan today, I couldn't control and blurted out everything I hid", I texted her.
She did not respond, for a few hours.
"Gwenchana Mingyu-ah, One day he had to know, you held on to this secret for very long", She replied.
"How are you?", I texted.
"Not great ig? It's so hard", For the first time she expressed pain or sadness.
"Should I come to india? You wanna come to Korea?", I texted sitting up on my bed.

Scoups pov:
"She did not betray me?", I said with my tears rolling on my cheeks.
"No hyung, she loved you so much, she would never break your trust", Dk said with his hand on my shoulder. I cried out loud for the first time in front of the members.

"She doesn't have parents, she lost everything she had when she was just 10, You're all she ever treasured", Joshua said making all of us look at him.

I couldn't be a very good boyfriend, the members knew about her more than I did. Hearing to what Joshua said, it made me sadder.
I cried throughout the night while the members were there to give me comfort.

Next morning:
I don't remember how I slept last night, I wokeup with a headache.
I picked my phone and called Lili.
"Hello", She said. I heard her voice for the first time in last 7 months. It bought back millions of memories.

"I am sorry", That's all I could say.
"I am sorry for hiding it, I didn't think you'd be hurt this bad", she said in a very sad and low tone.
"Come back, I'll take care of you here", I said
"I don't want you to ruin your career Cheol, I can take care of our baby well", Listening to her say 'OUR BABY' made me cry a little louder that It could be heard on the other end.

"Uljima Cheolie", She said. She called me Cheolie, I couldn't hold back anymore.
I cried like a baby wanting her right there with me.
"I don't care Lili, Comeback. I will neither give up on you or the baby", I said
"Neither on your career?", She asked
"YES", I said, I could hear her cry on the other end too.
"I'm booking you tonight's flight, Please come careful", I said.

"I booked my flight already, I'll be there in 6 hours, last night DK had called me, I couldn't see you hurt anymore, so I booked mine already, Sitting in the airport", she said, Making me a little happy.
"Don't come to airport", She added.
"I'll send a taxi, please come carefully", I said
