Inhan received emergency treatment from the medical staff waiting inside the concert venue and was then immediately transported to the hospital by ambulance.
Yuho stuck closely to Inhan’s side from the ambulance to the emergency room waiting area, not leaving him for a moment. Inhan occasionally looked at Yuho’s face and smiled as if pleased. From Suhyung’s perspective, it was an absolutely maddening sight.
Sitting side by side in front of the hospital administration counter, Inhan and Yuho were holding hands while waiting for Suhyung to return.
The concert was ultimately suspended, and the remaining two shows were also canceled.
As a result, Suhyung was overwhelmed with responding to calls coming from everywhere.
“The concert could have just continued.”
“What are you saying when you’re injured like this?”
Inhan’s right wrist was diagnosed with a fracture requiring a cast, and his torn forehead was bandaged with plans to have it stitched at the plastic surgery department the next day. He was diagnosed with contusions on his right shoulder and pelvis.
“Still, it was our first solo concert in a year.”
“We can just postpone it. The fans will all wait for us.”
Inhan nodded in agreement with Yuho’s words. He didn’t want to go against Yuho’s mood with unnecessary stubbornness.
He even had the childish thought that if he had known being hurt could be such a powerful weapon, he might have tried pretending to be sick earlier.
“Hyung, I hurt.”
“Huh? Where?”
Yuho reflexively moved at Inhan’s groaning. As Yuho’s hand moved toward Inhan’s face, Inhan moved his face to rest his cheek on Yuho’s palm.
Noticing what Inhan wanted, Yuho moved his fingers to caress Inhan’s face.
“Where does it hurt? Your wrist? Head? Should I ask for more painkillers?”
“Everything just hurts.”
“I know. You’re badly injured. Bleeding, broken bones, bruises all over.”
“I’ve been in pain for a long time before this.”
At Inhan’s words continuing in the past tense, Yuho was momentarily lost for words. Inhan was talking about the time before the accident. The moments when he was thoughtlessly pushed away and neglected by Yuho.
Yuho thought that maybe today’s accident was his fault too. Inhan wasn’t the type to get hurt like this. He found it difficult to shake off that thought.
“I was in so much pain that even painkillers wouldn’t help.”
“…Inhan.”
“Yuho hyung. You don’t like it when I’m hurt either, right? Isn’t that true?”
“Inhan, I… I’m sorry.”
“Even if you hate me, you’re worried because I’m hurt, right?”
As he spoke, Inhan’s eyes were filling with tears. Inhan, who had always been strong whether in pain or sadness, was now crying miserably because of Yuho.
“You don’t hate me enough to be okay with me dying, right? Is that true?”
“Why would you say that? I don’t hate you.”
“Then? Do you hate what I have? But hyung, I don’t need any of that. I know saying this will make you angrier, but it’s true. I just like the hyungs and being on stage, that’s why I do everything. Actually, I’m really struggling too. I want to quit everything, hyung.”
Feeling sorry for Inhan who was pouring out his heartfelt emotions, Yuho finally burst into tears as well. Perhaps because he had already cried once before, the tears fell quickly. Inhan stretched out his uninjured arm and pulled Yuho into his embrace.
“Hyung.”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t do that. Okay? Don’t do that to me.”
At Inhan’s words, which were close to pleading, Yuho felt all the defensive walls he had built crumbling down. This wasn’t the kind of feeling that could be cut off just by forcibly pushing it away.
He knew he couldn’t pretend not to know until the end. He had been like that for days. Worrying about Inhan getting hurt or sick, then rushing to him at once – perhaps he had anticipated this all along. Yuho felt that his past efforts had been in vain.
And the truth was, Yuho had never once wanted to be distant from Inhan.
“…Yeah. I’m sorry, Inhan. I’m sorry.”
“Knowing how much I like you, you shouldn’t do this to me, really.”
“Yeah… I won’t.”
“I’m barely hanging on, you know? There are times when I want to throw it all away, but I’m enduring. So hyung shouldn’t do this to me too. I really can’t handle it if you do.”
“It’s all my fault.”
That day, Yuho learned for the first time about the burden and overwhelming feelings Inhan was enduring.
Because he always acted as if everything was fine with a smiling face, Yuho had mistakenly thought that everything really was fine.
At just twenty years old, Inhan was doing his best for the team, while Yuho was throwing tantrums blinded by jealousy.
Embarrassed by this realization, Yuho cried even more.
“I won’t do it. I’m sorry, Inhan.”
At Yuho’s promise, Inhan tightened his arm around him.
Suhyung, who returned after finishing all the necessary arrangements, looked at Yuho and Inhan with a bewildered expression. They had fought so dramatically, and now they were reconciling even more tumultuously.
It was an embarrassing yet touching moment.
That was already two years ago.

– 4 months before 7SPOT’s disbandment discussions –
< 1. Only Sangyeho feeling cold
Yuho was shivering despite wearing a thick knit turtleneck and a cardigan.
Inhan, concerned about Yuho, asked.
“Hyo hyung. Are you cold?”
“A little?”
“Do you want to wear this?”
Inhan had already half-removed the bomber jacket he was wearing. Yuho waved his hands, rejecting Inhan’s offer.
“No.”
“Wear it. You’ll catch a cold.”
Before Yuho could stop him, Inhan’s jacket was placed over Yuho’s shoulders. While Inhan neatly zipped up the jacket, Yuho quietly waited for Inhan to finish. >
Ah, this is from a YouTube video of their own content.
< 2. Sangyeho seeking attention while eating spicy food.
“Hyo hyung. Don’t eat this. It’s spicy.”
Inhan moved the stir-fried octopus rice, which was placed in the center of the table, to the far edge opposite Yuho.
“No, I can eat it.”
“This is spicier than Shin Ramyun?”
“I’ve improved lately. I can even eat Yeobokki now?”
Yuho confidently said as he moved his spoon toward the stir-fried octopus rice.
The one hyung ate was the mild rose flavor though. Inhan thought to himself while watching Yuho’s actions with anxious eyes.
“Argh.”
Having finally put the stir-fried octopus rice in his mouth, Yuho started stomping his feet, saying it was spicy without even chewing it a few times.
“Ah. It’s sho shpicy.”
“I told you. It’s spicy.”
Inhan quickly grabbed the bottled water on the table, opened the cap, and brought it to Yuho’s mouth. Yuho obediently drank the water that Inhan fed him.
“Min hyung. Are you going to drink that?”
Inhan pointed with his chin at the chocolate milk placed right in front of Yeomin.
“Chocolate milk? Yeah, I’m going to drink it. Why?”
“Give it to Hyo hyung.”
“Here. Take it.”
Yeomin, who usually took a defensive attitude and would never give anything to Inhan, quickly handed over the chocolate milk when told it was for Yuho.
Inhan put down the water he was holding and took the chocolate milk. Then he inserted a straw and handed it to Yuho.
“Hyung. Drink this instead of water.”
“Yeah. Thanks.” >
This is from a behind-the-scenes video when they appeared on an observation variety show.
< 3. Sangyeho with no coordination and no shame
“Are you sleepy?”
Inhan asked Yuho, who was walking precariously without being able to properly open his eyes. Having fallen asleep towards the end of the flight and woken up just before landing, Yuho didn’t have the energy to answer and just nodded.
“Want to get on my back?”
Again, Yuho expressed his refusal by shaking his head instead of answering.
Standing right behind Yuho, Inhan watched Yuho’s movements with anxious eyes. Then, as if he couldn’t take it anymore, he grabbed Yuho’s shoulder.
“Get on my back. Give me your bag.”
“No… I want to walk…”
“No. You’ll fall like this.”
Inhan first took Yuho’s bag and handed it to Yeomin. Then he lowered his body and piggybacked Yuho. >
This is from an arrival video from two months ago. It’s even a sasaeng photo. Ha.
Yuho slowly scrolled down the open web page.
From SNS live broadcasts to comeback interview videos, and even game videos from group variety show appearances. It was a post that had collected a diverse range of content.
The impression after watching all the videos was that indeed, Inhan was a Yuho-sexual and NanHyo (Inhan x Yuho) was real.
But why was the post titled “First Half of the Year: Sangyeho’s Atrocities of BGP”?
No matter how you look at it, Jung Inhan was the one taking action, and Seon Yuho was on the receiving end.
[Please drop 7SPOT for NanYeom’s sake]
[Sangyeho’s BGP is so disgusting, what did NanYeom do to deserve this]
[Maybe he wants to get some crumbs by sticking to NanYeom, but what’s the point? He’s a flower with no scent]
[Flower? I don’t understand people who stan him just for his face. I wish he would disappear from NanYeom’s life]
The comments were even more outrageous.
How can I not care when they’re like this?
But wait, it’s not like I caused any controversy, this is going too far. Ah, they said lack of skill is also a controversy. But even that should be forgivable by now.
Six months as a trainee. That short period was not enough time to turn Yuho into a professional idol.
Who would welcome a member who was barely keeping up with the choreography in an idol group?
After debut, Yuho was really beaten up in the comments every three days.
From the second year after debut, he had developed his skills enough not to be a liability on stage, but once disliked, it wasn’t easy to remove that perception.
Moreover, that was when Inhan and he were getting along well, and when Yuho was more active in expressing affection than Inhan.
So he was accused of doing BGP. When they weren’t getting along, he was accused of making Inhan uncomfortable, and when they got along again, he was accused of having a terrible personality.
When nothing changed despite his efforts, he had countless thoughts about whether it would be better to just leave the group.
And the result was now.
[Wow, they’re making a fuss about Hyo again. Anyone can see that the one doing BGP is Nan, right? You all wouldn’t take Nan even if we gave him to you, so please leave Hyo alone]
[Is this a NanHyo promotion post? It only looks like Nan loves Hyo so much]
[NanYeom stans are just having stomach pains again. They’re going crazy because there’s no feed these days]
[Shouldn’t the title be changed to “Nan Making a Scene”? Nan, please leave Hyo alone]
These days, comments defending Yuho had also increased considerably. There were even more comments cursing Inhan, which annoyed Yuho, but he thought it was much better than the time when he was only receiving hate.
