Hyunjin's POV.:
I have been a little ever since I entered the kpop industry and regressing gave me a way of escaping the pressure I was under. My headspace was a nice and quiet spot where I found peace no matter what hell broke loose around me and if I was being honest, I needed that peace now more than ever. Lately the stress had reached a new high and I felt like crumbling under the weight. The other members felt it too and we couldn't do anything than to hang on and wait for our schedules to slow down again. Just thinking about everything we had planned for the next few weeks made my head spin and I could feel the fuzziness cloud my each and every thought, like an invitation from my headspace to take me in and give me a break from everything that was going on. As much as I wanted to accept this invitation, I couldn't. We were just on our way back from our second interview of the day and Minho-hyung and I had to come up with a choreography to one of our new songs. 3racha would head to their studio and work on our new album which would provide Minho and me with more songs to choreograph later on. Felix would go with the two maknaes to work on his singing, so it would only be Minho and me in the practice room. Chan planned on checking in on us later to see who well we were progressing, so it's obvious why going into my headspace wasn't an option right now.

We had split up immediately when we made it to the company building and for the last thirty minutes, Minho and I have only gone over the few moves we had come up with last time. No real progress so far. After that, it was still mainly Minho putting together the choreography with me not really being of much help. It seemed like I just couldn't think of everything, while my thoughts jumped from one thing to the next and I couldn't hold my focus on anything for longer than a few seconds. Oh, I just remembered that I had once felt like that before. Hmm, I didn't really know why I felt like that back then. Oh no! I left the dorm without giving Mr. Puffles a goodbye kiss this morning. 'Hyunjin, focus!', I cautioned myself, trying to push the thought of my pink teddy bear as far away from me as possible. "Sorry, what was that?", I asked sheepishly when I noticed that my hyung was talking to me. He shook his head, seeming a bit irritated, and huffed: "What is up with you today? I'm already the one doing all the work, so you could at least do me the favor of staying focused. I don't want to get scolded by Chan-hyung later because we got nothing done." Oh, right, Chan-hyung would be coming by later. I should really get myself together. However, I had to swallow a few times to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from guilt. I felt oh so guilty. I wasn't really doing my work, instead relying on Minho-hyung to finish it for us, I had forgotten to kiss Mr. Puffles goodbye this morning, so he was probably crying at home thinking I didn't care about him anymore, and I was a burden to my group in general. We were all stressed but I was the one that couldn't stay focused.

"Sorry hyung, I'm trying but it's really hard to focus right now. I'm sorry I'm of so little help at the moment", I apologized, taking a few sips from my water bottle to compose myself before getting back into position in front of the mirror, so we could go over the moves Minho had put together so far. My hyung looked at me and his face had softened compared to before when he smiled: "It's alright, too many hours of sleep lost, hm? Just try to memorize what I have so far and feel free to add something if you can." It wasn't exactly what I had expected from him because he always acted so cold but deep down we all knew he cared. Of course, he understood. We have all been at this point multiple times before, exhausted and sleep-deprived to the point where functioning seemed impossible. After almost another hour of dancing, there was a knock on the door. Chan joined us and asked how far we had come with the choreography. To our embarrassment, we had to admit that we weren't even done with one full song. I felt so ashamed because Chan-hyung was disappointed at both of us when it had been me holding us back all along. He wanted to see what we had so far, so we went back onto position and Minho patted my shoulder, trying to reassure me. He had probably seen my nervousness at the thought of showing something that was way less than we had been expected to have completed at this point.
