Niki -asthma attack

Tysm for the suggestion✨

***

Niki was once again practising in the dance studio whilst his members were all out of breath, resting on the floor.

Sunghoon:"Yah, Niki, you've been doing that move for the last 15 minutes!"

Niki ignored the olders rant and carried on perfecting his every move. He was a perfectionist, and has to make sure that his every performance was up to his standards. Heeseung stood up and handed the younger a bottle of water, but still, Niki didn't even stop to look, nor take the cold water.

Instead, he was stressing over how he isn't able to do this one move stably.

"Ugh, why can't I do this move?!"

Jungwon stands up and furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you mean? I've been watching you this whole time, and I'm myself confused onto why you're practising a move that you already mastered"

Niki sighed and finally, he leaned against the wall, dangerously out of breath.

I should've stopped and taken a break, how should I use my inhaler if they're in here with me

Niki was breathing in and out in a specific pattern, trying to stable his breathing. The members were slightly concerned, but since they were all panting, they didn't think much of it.

Niki quickly took his bag, and rushed out of the room. Jay eyes followed the boy, curious to why he just suddenly rushed out of the room.

He noticed that Jake was going to follow, but quickly held onto him.

Jay:"Just leave him, he's been practising for so long, he deserves a proper break"

Jake nodded and calmly sat back down, feeling more at ease. All the members huddled, but Sunoo was the only one who was still pretty concerned about Niki.

Sunoo:"Guys, the way he just ran out of the room? He was also out of breath and--"

Heeseung rested his hands on Sunoo's shoulder, immediantly silencing him.

"I don't think this is some thing we should overthink, we all know that Niki likes to push himself, he probaly wanted to get home earlier."

Sunoo sighed, still feeling sceptical but he finally let it go. I mean, Niki was probaly just tired, right?

Meanwhile...

Niki locked himself in the buildings bathroom. He was gripping onto the inhaler as he breathed in and out, closing his eyes while doing so. As each second passed by, his breathing rate has now become normal.

This feels so much better

His breathing had become much more stable and comfortable, which he was now happy about.

"That was a close one! How long do i have to keep it a secret from them?"

Not only them, also their managers, staffs, basically hiding it from everyone in the industry. Niki packed the inhaler once again into the bag, putting it in the secret pocket of the bag. He made sure that it was well hidden and fixed himself up. He was quite nervous to face his members, since this was the first time he almost had an asthma attack infront of them.

All he had to do was to bring his asthma pump and all his medicals, and just keep it a secret, pretty simple huh.

He wiped the sweat off him, deciding to just go straight home. His members probaly already think he had headed home already, so he just decided to head home.
