The artists room is bustling; some members are warming up and doing vocal exercises, others are in the stylist’s chair getting their makeup done and some members are eating takeout in between cars games with their managers and assistants.

Stray Kids and your group hve a joint room, the boys on one side and your members on the other but you mix up in the middle anyway, you’re good friends after all.

And it’s no secret that you and Minho are dating, you have been for almost a year now and you love him just as much as you do being an idol. But as all couples do, you fight.

And this time was a little bit of a big one; Minho had called you out on a dance move you struggled with in rehearsals, berated you for it and still pushed when you didn’t feel up to it anymore. The lack of communication and the insistence made you reconsider everything- but mostly his pure anger and frustration towards you was what scared you the most, that’s why you’ve been avoiding him the past week and also why you had wanted a little break on your relationship.

But Minho has been struggling ever since you walked out; he’s quieter, tears always in his eyes and knuckles red or battered from punching the wall repeatedly out of frustration at himself.

He’s sat on the couch, Jisung and Felix on either side of him animatedly yapping about a game with cup noodles in hand but all he can think about is you- he watches you change and get stage ready.. you’re so perfect.

“Ugh, she’s perfect.. why do I hurt the person I love?” He thinks to himself, eyes blurry from holding back tears.
