Chan stood up carefully and moved, allowing Minho to kneel beside hyunjin. "Hyunjin, its Minho, can you hear me?" He asked quietly.
Hyunjin nodded his head.
"Good, may I touch you?"
Hyunjin shook his head violently.
"Okay, that's okay, can you lift your head up?"
Hyunjins head slowly raised revealing his tear stained face and red eyes. He shook softly as he sniffed.
"There's our hyunjinnie, are you okay?" Minho softly asked.
"Yes, I am okay" Hyunjin smiled through his lie. He was not okay but he did not want to further ruin the day. He already felt extremely guilty for having wasted minutes of their time just in him alone, he didn't need any more guilt.
"Well, would you still like to go out to lunch with us?" Chan asked softly.
"Of course," Hyunjin smiled. They gathered their things, Hyunjin grabbing a backpack of necessary items for him and the other's whereas Chan simply grabbed his wallet. Chan looked at the taller male slightly confused but brushed it off. Hyunjin froze again. He remembered he's going out in public, he needed to tell them before they find out on their own. "Wait" he said. He held his breath and clenched his fists. He couldn't do it. His eyes opened and shook his head. Hyunjin had been pushed to the back of his mind.
"Sorry about him"
Chan cocked his head to the side in complete confusion. "Uh, him?"
"Yeah, hyunjin is kind of a scatter brain"
Minho noticed a tone change, and the deepening of the voice from when hyunjin was speaking earlier. He had an idea of what was happening. "May i ask your name?"
"Minho that's literally hyunjin-"
"Channie hyung, that is clearly not hyunjin" minho pointed at hyunjins head. "Notice how calm he is right now? hyunjin has never been this calm." minho walked to the cupboard right next to them and slammed it open.
"No need to break the dorm" the individual spoke calmly.
"See, hyunjin would jump and ask if i'm okay" Minho walked back to the rest of them. "Anyways, can we get your name?"
"sure, i'm keeho" keeho put his hand to his, hyunjins, chest. "I'm one of three alters that hyunjin is hosting"
"Alters?" Chan asked.
"I figured" Minho smiled softly. "Hyunjin his DID"
"Uhm, i feel as though i need an explanation, i have no clue what's going on" Chan said looking between the two.
"DID, dissociative identity disorder, is generally a trauma response. Alters, or to most with DID, other people, are an outcome of this. Hyunjins body is a home for four identities if I got that right." Minho spoke.
"Yup, me and hyunjin switched places because he got too stressed to speak to either of you" keeho chimed in. "Different things can trigger different alters"
meanwhile, chan blinked. he was beyond confused, he couldn't quite grasp the fact that hyunjin was actually four people instead of one. "Wait so like, ur like...not hyunjin?"
"I'm not"
"holy balls"
