Stray Kids were gearing up for their comeback in just two months. The pressure was intense — endless rehearsals, recordings, interviews. Jisung was secretly dating Minho (you), something only the members knew. But lately, the stress had started to eat away at him. He barely slept, skipped meals, and brushed off every “are you okay?” with a tired smile.

Minho could see it, though — the dark circles under his eyes, the way his hands shook when he tightened his mic pack. Still, he kept pushing himself, insisting he was fine.

During one of the dance practices, the music blared as everyone moved in sync — until Jisung suddenly staggered. His steps faltered, his breathing quickened, and he pressed a hand to his head.

“Hyung…”

He whispered weakly, his voice barely audible over the music. His eyes lost focus, and for a terrifying second, Minho saw the exhaustion finally catch up to him.
