Yes I am indeed a bit late, I apologize, totally forgot I was publishing

Alexa play Cheese by Straykids.

—————

His cheeks hurt by the end of lunch time already, his body tired, even though he had rested a lot.

The staff was readying the cameras in front of the kitchen counter, the group getting ready for a thematic shoot and talking as they ate.

Hyunjin had an arm around Changbin's shoulders as Felix peeled him an egg, the shorter talking about something Jeongin could not quite follow. Chan was busy talking to their managers and Seungmin was on his phone next to him. Minho and Jisung were in their own little world are per usual, which left the younger alone, trying to eat his food.

He skipped breakfast hour before that, claiming he had had a bad night, and Minho let it go, but now he wouldn't.

If he had noticed.

Jeongin's luck was no one ever noticed.

He put the plate aside and cleared his throat, forcing the food he had managed to push down to stay inside, focusing on something else, but there was nothing to focus on, so he had to go for a walk.

He had to hold that fake smile for the whole filming time, his mind slipping away to god knew where so many times he lost count. He tried his best to joke around as usual, letting Felix clinge to him as usual, Hyunjin mess with him, Minho take care of him.

He loved his members.

So much.

And he was so sorry for them.

For being stuck with him.

When they got home that day dinner time was still coming, and Minho had forced the leader to go grocery shopping with him.

So Jeongin went to the studio.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were here-"

"No worries, come. Wanted to rehearse?"

Jeongin smiled, nodding cutely.

"I thought I should give it a go today since I have not tried yet."

Seungmin nodded, patting the chair near him.

"Want me to hear? I could give you my-"

"No.", it came out before the younger could think it through. "I-I want it to be a surprise when you guys hear it for the first time."

There was no way he was letting Seungmin hear his broken cover.

"I'm sure it won't hurt. I love your voice and I want to hear how it sounds in this song.", Seungmin pouted, pinching his cheek and making the younger chuckle a bit for real.

"Noooo, get off. Go away, annoying puppy.", he slapped Seungmin's hand and the older gave him his tongue.

"Annoying little brother."

The younger pretended he would hit him, making both of them laugh.

Seungmin was amazing.

"I'll be in the dorm then, if you need me."

"Okay, thanks." Jeongin nodded, feeling his temporary happiness go away as Seungmin slipped away from his vision.

But it was for the better.

Seungmin was the best vocalist he had ever met.

And he could not have him hear him.
