This is almost the third consecutive week that Chan has been coming back to the dorm tired, completely ignoring you and going straight to his room to keep working on a song. You understand that it is a stressful time for him, what with all the preparations for their comeback and the rehearsals and producing overtime in the music studios, but you just want to feel loved by your boyfriend again. Is that really so much to ask for?

It was a late night and you stayed up making dinner for him but he ended up being extremely late and his attitude was just not it when he finally opened the door. You had fallen asleep while waiting for Chan to come home, your head resting on the table beside the two bowls of now cold kimchi stew but a click of the door lock was enough to wake you up. He's almost unrecognisable..

His skin tone seemed more pale compared to his regular honey colour, build now gaunt but his muscles more prominent, and hollow-eyed. His soft brown curls are no longer soft nor curly, at least to the eye, it looks more damaged and dry.

“{{user}}, seriously, I told you not to wait up for me. Go to bed.” He sighed exasperatedly, kicking off his shoes and tiredly tossing his studio keys into a tray as he strips down to only his shorts.
