RELEASED : JUNE 17 2020

Minho p.o.v

After washing my tired body
Turn on the boring TV
Uninteresting news today, again
Words I can't understand

Chan: Enjoy your holiday bro.
Minho:*sigh* It's a forced holiday.
Chan:*shrugged* At least you still get holiday.
Minho:*groan* I don't know what to do!
Chan:*rolled eyes* Do whatever you want. Don't you said you need day off last week?
Minho: I did. But I want say off to go to gym.
Chan: Nope, you can't go to work out.
Minho: Which is why I get so bored!
Chan: Bruh, you literally have your kids with you.
Minho: Sadly, no. Mom bring my kids to granny's house.

I can hear Jisung's shout from the distance followed by Jeongin's laugh and Hyunjin's protest.

Chan:*sigh* I need to go now. Enjoy your holiday.
Minho:*smirk* Good luck taking care of them.

What was the most important task?
I wanted to do so many things
But I kept being chased by time
There are so many things in this world
But there wasn't a space around for me to rest without worrying

I sighed. Again. What to do to help me passed this new day? Today is already the third day. I'm forced to take day off since I accidentally sprain my left ankle and my left wrist at the same time when practicing a new move.

My body is being so used to the hectic schedule that it doesn't know to rest anymore. I wake up at eight today, eat breakfast, dozed off, eat, watch our shows, and dozed off again.

I'm not allowed to enter neither the practice room nor the gym. I'm forced to rest. Not at the dorm. But at my parents' house. Yet, sadly, both my parents are out of the town visiting my grandmother.

Just streching my feet and lying down
Doesn't make my eyes close
Even when I tightly shut my eyes, I sleep dreamlessly
Sharp intake of breaths whenever I wake up from my sleep
Momentary dizziness
Meaningless day, at the end of it, is a repeat, yeah

Minho:*shout* I'm freaking bored!

I take my phone and dialled random number in my contacts. I don't even know how I end up pressing Jisung's number.

Phone call~

Minho:*whine* I'm bored.
Jisung: Hello hyung!
Minho: Can't you guys come visit me?
Jisung: We have practice today though.
Minho: You are the best in persuading Chan hyung.
Jisung:*chuckle* I'll try. Don't expect too much though.

Hyunjin:*shout* Who are you talking for so long?!
Jisung:*shout* Minho hyung!
Hyunjin:*shout* Tell him I missed him!

Endless fight, endless sigh, dragging yawn
Nerves on the edge, words sharp as knives
Bored of all of this
The day I forced my way into the dark room
Would at least one person have turned to look at me
Me, who barely lived through another day
How many times have I laughed, but were those sincere?

Phone call~

Minho:*smirk* And tell him that I'm going to put in air fry the moment I see him.
Jisung: You are scary hyung.
Minho: If you guys come, I'll treat you cheesecake.
Jisung: Cheesecake?!
Minho: One slice.
Jisung:*whine* Two slice?
Minho: One slice or none.
Jisung:*pout* You are a meanie hyung.
Minho: Then make sure that you can persuading Chan hyung.
Jisung: I'll try but if I succeed you will buy me two slices! Goodbye hyung!

And, he end the call. I tossed my phone somewhere in the room. Starting to thinks agin about what should is do untill the time they arrive. I should make myself busy. But with what? It's not like I could just hop to the gym or the dance studio to make new choreography for some songs.

Text~

Minho: Don't forget to bring some board games.

Sent.

Minho: I don't have any interesting game here.

Sent.

Myself deep in thought looks funny
So much worries for such a young child
Just do your job properly
Without knowing about my empty heart
Just laughing over it, I don't like that

I decided to spent time with watching over our practice video. I spot some little mistakes here and there, not forgetting to note it down so I can remind them later on. At least, doing that, make me spent my boring two hours.

Minho: I need to order cheesecake for the quokka.

I used the delivery app and got myself, more like them, one cheesecake, not a slice I'm not that mean, and others food. I really hoped they come faster. I'm starting to get bored again.

Just streching my feet and lying down
Doesn't make my eyes close
Even when I tightly shut my eyes, I sleep dreamlessly
Sharp intake of breaths whenever I wake up from my sleep
Momentary dizziness
Meaningless day, at the end of it, is a repeat, yeah

Phone call~

Minho: Oi, quokka, when will you guys come?
Jisung: Be patient hyung, it's not that easy to persuade Chan hyung.
Minho: Still practicing?
Jisung: Yeah. We are supposed to be done twenty minutes ago, but somehow it still continue.
Minho: Where is Chan hyung?
Jisung: Talking with Felix. Why?
Minho: Go and ask him now.
Jisung: Oh, he is here. I'll let you talk to him.

Chan: Sung gold me you ask for me?
Minho:*sigh* That quokka.
Chan: So, why?
Minho: I'm bored here.
Chan:*confused* What's that supposed to do with me?
Minho: Are you guys still practicing?
Chan: Yeah, maybe for another thirty minutes.
Minho: Can't you guys come here? I'm way too bored.
Chan:*smirk* Can't pass a day without us?
Minho:*rolled eyes* Don't get so confident. It's because my kids aren't here.

Chan: Manager hyung is calling for me. Talk later.
Minho: Okay.

Is everyone happy except me?
I'm so curious about it
Or am I the only child who doesn't know how to hide it yet?
Everyone hides their inner self behind their masks
So I got used to the word ''loneliness''

Hyunjin:*barged in* Minho hyung!
Jeongin:*whine* Felix hyung stop clinging on me!
Felix:*whine* But you are warm!
Hyunjin: Minho hyung! I bring you something!
Jisung: Where is my cheesecake?! You have promised me hyung! Hyung!
Changbin:*whine* Felix, you told me I'm the warmest from all!
Seungmin:*sigh* I'm tired already.
Chan:*chuckle* So do I. I really hope Minho's neighbors are patient enough.

Minho:*sigh* Please spare my ears.
