Insecure and Overwhelmed - SKZ Hyunjin

Members are calling him out on his insecurities leading him to overthink and overwork. 

Hyunjin had always been a dramatic one, the drama lama of the group. He didn't think it bothered anyone, but as of late, he was beginning to second question himself.

The Boy was currently laying in his bed, blankets pulled up to his chin as he faced the wall skipping dinner, claiming he was too tired and felt ill.

It started a month ago at the dorms, he was being his usually dramatic, silly self, when Minho had gotten annoyed and pointed out that he was too dramatic, to tone it down.

One month ago

Stray Kids were currently all crowded around playing a board game, free of the cameras, just bonding as a group when Jisung playfully hit Hyunjin, leading to him to dramatically flail his arm that was hit and accidentally knocked the board game.

He immediately apologised noticing that all the members looked annoyed to have to set the pieces back in the correct spots, but Minho was the only one to open his mouth, "Yah, Hyunjin, stop being so dramatic, it's annoying." His tone held no playfulness leading to the younger bowing in apology and staying silent the rest of the game.

Not even five minutes later, Jeongin had accidentally knocked the board game, Hyunjin got prepared to defend the younger, but to his surprise, the members all laughed about it and helped the boy set the pieces back in place.

This led to Hyunjin's heart cracking a little, his thoughts telling him that he wasn't allowed to be dramatic as he was the fourth oldest member, but Jeongin was still young, he can do it. I just have to be less dramatic, maybe they won't get annoyed anymore.

The flashback faded as Hyunjin sniffled a little at the memory, the words of his second eldest hyung hurting more than he had let on, hearing it from anti's more than enough times.

He then thought back to a three weeks ago, when they were at their vocal lessons, the vocal line in one area whilst the rappers all gathered to practice their raps separately.

Three weeks ago

Hyunjin had been struggling quite a bit since what happened just a few days ago, Minho's words laying heavily on his heart, he had calmed down, not being as dramatic as what he was just the week before.

"Hyunjin, pay attention, we have to start over now." Changbin scolded the younger rapper who went red as he nodded softly, making the youngest rapper furrow his eye brows at the odd reaction.

The four rappers continued the lessons, Hyunjin being scolded the most by both the manager and the eldest member there.

"Hyunjin, I know that you struggle with rap but at least show some improvement next time." The manager scolded as he left the room along with Changbin and Jisung, Felix hovering by the door nervously, looking at his hyung who looked down to the ground in dejection.

"Hyung, are you okay?" Felix questioned softly, earning a hum and nod in acknowledgment. Felix, although hesitant left the room when the older said that he was going to stay back and practice for an hour. One hour turned into two, two into three, three into four, finally heading home at about six-pm, with no missed calls or texts from anyone but Felix.

Hyunjin sighed sadly and made his way home.

After reminiscing about that incident, he grabbed his stomach and thought back to the previous weeks dinner and reason why he was not eating with the other members.
