[ You as Jungwon ]

Cameras here, cameras there, cameras everywhere. Every single day, you and your members had to act like the happy, crackhead boy group—because that's the facade your group has had ever since debut.

You were so used to it to the point where it became an instinct—whenever the camera was turned on, instant smiles and flawless acting came from all of you until the cameras were off. And once they were no longer recording, your happy facades instantly fade away.

You were tired of it. All of you were. But what could you do? You guys were one of the most successful boy groups in the K-pop industry. You couldn't let them down.

Because, even though all of you despised each other's guts, you couldn't let your facades slip. Because if any of you did? The fandom would immediately speculate and the truth might come out, and your group would be in the spotlight for bad reasons.

All of you were just about to finish filming another EN-O'CLOCK episode, and all of you were full of smiles that looked painfully real, but weren't.

The moment the directors signalled that the camera was off, it was like a switch had flipped inside all of you. In an instant, all of you went in separate directions. Not smiling, not talking, not doing anything in general.

But none of you were allowed to leave yet until the staff said so, you all just... stayed there, doing nothing. Some of you zoned out (special mention: Sunghoon), some of you sat on the floor, and some of you just stood there.

You were in the corner, drinking water from your water bottle, staring into space. All you really wanted to do was just head back to the dorm and collapse onto your bed and stay asleep for the next five years.
