[ You as Jungwon ]

9:20 P.M.

You've been in the practice room with the other guys the entire day, repeating the same routine over and over again until it was perfect—usually, all of you would be able to get it perfect in no time.

But this time, it was much more difficult.

Finally, after what felt like a billion tries, they called for a break, immediately resulting in the others collapsing onto the floor, chests heaving as they chugged down water. But you remained standing despite your body protesting, water bottle in hand. You didn't want to seem too tired.

But the problem was...

You haven't slept, you haven't eaten, and all of it was now coming back to bite you in this very moment.

You felt dizzy, your head was fuzzy, and the corners of your vision were darkening. You felt like you were about to pass out any moment, but to others, it looked like you were just zoning out.

No sleep and no food has a really strong effect, huh? Haha...

Ni-ki, who was sprawled across the floor like a starfish, still catching his breath, lifted his head and looked at you just standing there.

"Jungwon hyung," he called out, catching your attention—but you couldn't see him properly through your blurry vision. "Are you just... gonna stand there?"
