With their new comeback fast approaching, Ateez worked hard to make it an amazing comeback. They all had new looks that they were excited to show Atiny.
"Ok break time"! Hongjoong called, panting as he sat down against the wall. The others all sat down, except for Seonghwa.
"Hwa you gonna rest"? San asked, cuddling up to Wooyoung.
"N-no I'm good. I wanna go over a few steps", Seonghwa said, walking out of the practice room. The others were quiet as he walked out.
"I-is he ok"? Jongho asked
"No idea. Just let him be for now. Maybe he just forgot a step", Hongjoong said, stretching his arms.
"Maybe. It is a hard dance", Yunho said, standing up from the ground.
"Let's keep going shall we"?

Seonghwa walked into an empty practice room and placed his things down. He was tired but he wanted to do his best for the comeback.
"I can do this... I won't make a mistake"... He whispered. Seonghwa connected his phone to the speaker and hit play on the new song and he began dancing. He used all his energy and when it was done, he fell to the ground, panting.
"Hwa"? He heard. Seonghwa turned to the door.
Y-yeah Joong"?
"We're heading home. Rehearsal is done for the day. You coming"?
"I-I'm gonna stay for a bit longer. I'll see you at home".
"You sure? You sound tired".
"I-I'm sure. You guys head home".
"Ok then"... He heard Hongjoong walk off and Seonghwa sat up, rubbing his head.
"I-I can get better... I will get better"... he whispered. Seonghwa always thought he could get better so he wanted to push himself past his limits. He got off the ground and started the music again, and started dancing again.

The day of the new comeback, Gruella, Seonghwa was really tired. He kept himself away from the group and kept practicing.
"Hwa, your gonna smudge your makeup, take a break ok"? Mingi spoke, walking over. Seonghwa sighed and sat down as the others spoke. He was really tired but didn't want that to show to the members. He needed to be strong for the others.
"Ateez, you have 5 minutes", their manager spoke, poking his head into the room.
"Ok thank you". The other stretched and got their mics before making their way towards the stage. Seonghwa made sure to stay focused and strong as they reached the stage.
Soon, it was their turn and they got into their positions. Seonghwa closed his eyes and breathed slowly.
"You ok hyung"? Jongho asked, looking concerned.
"I'm ok Jongho. Don't worry". Jongho gave me smile before the music started and they began. Seonghwa did his best to keep himself steady and tried his best to not look as tired but he wasn't succeeding.
They didn't get far into the dance before Seonghwa's body gave up and he collapsed to the ground.
"Hwa"! He could faintly hear the members, worry in voices and he could hear the worried tone of their fans before he passed out.
~~~~
When Seonghwa woke, he found himself in a hospital, the members asleep in the room. He sat up and looked at them. Hearing a small groan, Seonghwa turned towards Hongjoong, seeing the younger wake.
"J-Joong"? He whispered. Hongjoong looked over to him.
"Hwa"! He cried, jumping from his chest.
"H-hey"...
"You had us so worried. The doctor said you passed out from exhaustion? Have you been tiring yourself out so much"? Seonghwa looked away.
"I-I wanna always do my best and watching all of you makes me feel like I can do better, so I-I pushed myself to do my best"...
"Hwa you always do your best. Don't push yourself or you are gonna get hurt". Seonghwa looked at Hongjoong and nodded.
"I-I'm sorry I worried you". The others son woke to their tones and smiled.
"Hwa, your awake".
"Hey guys". They walked over to the bed.
"Sorry I worried you all. I-I just pushed myself past my limit... I never meant to tire myself out so much before our comeback".
"It's ok hyung. But you really had us and Atiny worried", San said, hugging him. Seonghwa hugged him back and looked at them all. He never meant to hurt himself or even worry anyone. And he promised himself he wouldn't push himself too hard again.
