TW: Panic Attack, Anxiety

"Guys come on just another hour and we can take a break." Mark pleaded with his exhausted dongsaengs as they stood around the practice room.

"Hyung...we've been dancing for three hours..." haechan whined.

Mark sighed wiping sweat from his brow.

"I know hyuck...just, we have a stricter schedule now that sungie is an adult...soo-man wants at least five-hour practices now."

The boys all groaned as they forced themselves to get back in their positions.

"I'm sorry guys, I wish I could do something." Mark said quietly as the track started and they began the choreo once again.

After practice finally ended, the dreamies rushed back to the dorms quickly to shower and rest, mark however, was called into his managers office. He wiped his sweat with a towel and grabbed his bag forcing his shaky legs to walk down the hall and into the staff area. He went to the office and sat down in front of his managers desk, an anxious feeling settling in the pit of his stomach.

The man sat in his chair with a blank expression. His hands folded on his desk, his glasses resting on the tip of his nose.

Mark nervously cracked his knuckles as the man stared at him.

"Uh...sir? You wanted to see me?" mark said awkwardly.

The man cleared his throat and looked at mark.

"Minhyung, I have to say I am very disappointed in your performance lately."

Mark felt his chest go tight.

"Sir? Uh, may I ask why?" his voice was shaky.

"Well I mean you are the leader of dream are you not?"

"Yes sir, I am."

"So why can't you lead them then?!" his voice was raised now.

Mark flinched slightly at the tone.

"Eh, sir i- "

"You can't even get them to stay motivated through one practice! I mean, are you serious? You used to get them to do anything and now...well they just ignore you most of the time." The man seemed very angry.

Mark was kind of in shock, how the hell was he supposed to make the dreamies listen to him? it's not his fault they grew up and can't be treated like children anymore.

"Sir with all due respect, I work really hard to get the kids to work...I always make sure I'm the first one up so nobody is late, and I motivate them through the entire practice-

"I don't wanna hear your excuses. Listen, if you can't get your act together, then I'm afraid there will be consequences for you."

Mark's eyes went wide.

"Consequences? Like...like what?"

"Minhyung. You know very well what I mean. Replacing an annoying rapper will take no time at all, do you know how many kids auditioned this year? I could replace you in a second flat."

Mark took a shaky breath and nodded before bowing his head.

"I'm sorry sir. I will do better."

"You better. Now, get out."
