Drowning & Suffocating [ENG]

Drowning

Today was supposed to be a good day. They all got up early to film the music video for their new song. Their comeback was finally fast approaching and they were more than excited to finally be able to return on stage. They had planned to start the shooting with the group choreography, before moving on their individuals scenes, passing one by one in front of the camera. As the hours progressed, Hyunggu felt the energy of apprehension invade his body. He began unable to stay in one place as the members came and went to shoot their own scenes. His mind was spinning at full speed as he gently pulls the threads from his ripped jeans.

He felt a hand gently take his own, taking him out of his trance. Hyunggu turned his gaze to see Yuto, sitting right next to him. His gaze went down along his chest to see his abs through his open jacket, before going up to his eyes.

"You're gonna ruin your jeans Hyunggu-ya."

The younger one blushes, looking away. Yuto had just returned from his filming time and obviously he had to come straight to him and see his apprehension. He saw Wooseok coming out of the room from the corner of the eye, probably heading towards the back street of the building to shoot his own footage.

"Are you feeling well ?" Asked the Japanese one
"More than good."

Yuto started playing with his hand.

"Are you sure you're not a little anxious ?" He whispered.
"Why should I be anxious ? I shoot my scene last, but it's happened in the past."

Yuto raised his head to look at the clock on the wall while Hyunggu also followed the movement. 5:10 PM. They've been here almost eight hours.

"I was mostly talking about the water scene."
"Oh."

It's true, Hyunggu said to himself. He had to shoot a scene where he was plunged into the watering seemed to be drowning. However, he wasn't anxious, there was nothing to be anxious about. He loved water since he was very young. That was sort of his favorite element.

"Why would I be anxious ? I took diving lessons for this scene, and there will be professionals to accompany me. I like water, and it doesn't scare me."

The Japanese one re-focused his gaze on him, trying to seek the truth in his eyes as he squeezed the younger's hand harder.

"Really Yuto-ya. I'm just excited to film my scenes. I'm serious, I'm fine."
"Okay."

The older one leaned over to give him a brief hug, which the Korean on gave back, before he had to get up to go change. Hyunggu finds himself alone again, diving into his thoughts.

It was almost 10:30 PM now. Yuto was watching Hyunggu from a distance, sitting in a corner of the room with the other members.
He had been shooting his scene for 4 hours, and Yuto was holding back from biting his nails.

Hyunggu had started to shoot his scene alone in the room with the mirror, before moving on to the room with the swimming pool. Yuto was leaning against Wooseok as Hui would get up from his place, followed by Hongseok and Shinwon, apologizing, as the manager called them. They had an early schedule the next day and had to leave now. They went to Hyunggu, surrounded by a towel and watching the scene he had just shot. They apologized to him too, explaining that they had to leave, wishing him good luck for the end of his shoot. The young man gave them a tired smile, thanking them as he watched them leave.

Yuto bit his lips. Hyunggu had been turning the scene in the pool for almost 3 hours, and his fatigue was clearly visible on his face. The Japanese one respected him for his professionalism, while he continued to loop the same scenes to get the best possible images.
