    It's been a long day. The door opened with a slow creak, and the light from the hallway of your house poured into the dark bedroom where you were sleeping. It was 1:30am.

    Today, Junyoung had been on edge since morning, preparing for the Blue Dragon Awards ceremony. You encouraged him, telling him not to worry, and he even calmed down a bit.

    The start of the ceremony went smoothly. He met his colleagues, had a few conversations, shared drinks and had a good evening. And now it's time for the awards ceremony.

    The names were loudly announced one by one by the hosts, the actors came out under the spotlight, loud rounds of applause and the gaze of the cameras broadcasting what was happening live. He sat and applauded everyone whose name was mentioned, of course, he did not expect to be one of them.

    Then.. "Lee Junyoung!" The voice of the host, Jun Hyunmoo, called loudly. He couldn't believe his ears. Slowly standing up and slightly bowing, he walked onto the stage and took the award in his hands, his wide, sincere, gummy smile illuminating the stage. His head was buzzing with happiness, had all his efforts finally paid off?

    "I'm sorry, I apologize for mispronunciation..." Jun's eyes drooped as he heard the host's voice, "Lee Junhyuk, it says Lee Junhyuk."

    A nightmare... In panic, Junyoung went downstairs and gave the award to the actor it was intended for, apologizing and hugging him, congratulating him on winning. Junyoung sat back down and fell silent. Although he tried to smile and laugh at the awkward situation with the others, a dark, deep hole was growing inside his stomach while the host mocked him in front of all these people.

    He had embarrassed himself in front of everyone, live on air. And he didn't receive the award. The whole thing felt humiliating.

    2:03 He quietly stepped out of the shower and made his way to the bed. The mattress sank slightly under the familiar weight of his body, and you woke up, hearing a sound, so similar to a quiet sob, coming from him. He had just posted on Instagram, apologizing to people for his dumb mistake.
