It honestly wasn’t about anything big. He was drying his feet using a hairdryer. I wanted to dry my hair after showering. I took the hairdryer after telling him, but he wasn’t happy. That’s when we began fighting. But I’m the younger one, so the leader hyung got up and hit me. After the fight was mediated, we all went to Kimbap Cheonguk and ate, but my lips hurt so much. I lied to the manager that I fell on the stairs and went to the emergency room. The next day, we had to go on Inkigayo. My lips were so swollen.
