Overworked ~ Jay🥀

The day dragged long as the 7 boys worked vigorously at the dance studio. It had been late and progress felt slow. "Jay, like this," Ni-ki demonstrate for the 7th time. "I know! I don't know what I'm doing wrong!" He exclaimed in frustration. "I think we should call it a night everyone," Heeseung said in exhaustion. Most of the members nodded in agreement and began for the door. "Hey, Heeseung Hyung," Jay stopped the elder. "Is it fine if I stay back for a little while?" He asked as the elder slowly walked to the door. "I would prefer you not to but check it by Jungwon, he is the leader," Heeseung added rubbing his eyes.

Jay walked to Jungwon with the same question. "I'm sorry, Jay Hyung, but it's already 8 PM. We should get home, eat, and rest up. The dancing will continue cleaning tomorrow," Jungwon replies apologetically. Jay huffed and walked back to the dorm. "Why can't I stay? It's not that late I can't hold the whole group back the cause of this," Jay thought, aggravated. The group quickly began the process of showers and food. It didn't take long before most were sleeping. The only people up are Jay and Heeseung. "C'mon, let's go to bed," Heeseung said, yawning.

Jay complied as they entered the room, Heeseung falling asleep quickly. Jay glanced at his alarm clock, "9:03 PM..." Jay let his drive for perfection outweigh his thoughts and quietly snuck out. Soon he found himself cleaning up his dancing, in his pajamas.

With time, Jay began to tire. Hands-on knees, he breathed heavily. "What time is it?" he whispered to himself before checking his phone. He gasped at the time before hurrying to the door. "I hope no one's up," Jay thought creaking the door open. He quietly sneaked back into his and Heeseung's shared dorm, quiet to not wake the other.  He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding as he lay on his bed. Glancing at the clock, "Midnight... Jungwonnie would kill me if he knew I was up this late," he thought before drifting to sleep. 

The following day was rough for Jay, he felt exhausted and had little energy. Jay dragged his feet as he slowly crept into the kitchen to eat before leaving for another long day of practice. "Are you ok Jay hyung?" Sunoo asked before taking a sip of his tea.  "Yeah, just kind of tired," he mumbled before giving up on food. He was too tired to eat. 

The day went by quickly, however, Jay went to the practice room after hours again. It didn't take long before it became a habit. Every night Jay was dancing in the practice room. 

Before any of them had realized it, the first big performance had snuck upon them all. The changing room was busy, with makeup artists running around frantically as everyone was getting ready. However, amidst the chaos, Jay sat in the corner. He was changed, and completely ready, he looked exhausted, almost like a corpse. Jungwon took notice of this as he walked over to the weary Jay and sat beside him. "Hey, are you ok Jay? You look exhausted," Jungwon said as he put a hand on the elder's back. "Yep... Just a little tired," he ensured as he looked over to Jungwon. "Are you sure Hyung?" Jungwon asked, concerned.  "Yes, I'm fine," Jay said back in a somewhat annoyed tone. 

It wasn't long after until the boys were preparring to go on stage. Everyone was lined up to walk out as the lights dimmed and the crowd silently waited. The boys quickly shuffled on and got into position as the backup dancers took their places around them. The music rushed out of the speakers loudly as everyone began dancing and singing.  Jay's movementse were sharp, but also tainted with exhaustion. Just after the chorus, Jay felt his body growing tired, and feeling a sharp pain in his calves. He pushed through until the second chorus, his vision began to darken as his wobbly legs buckled beneath him, and his head hit the ground, sending him into a state of slumber. 

Much time later, Jay awoke to the quiet noises of a heart moniter, a breathing matchine, and quiet sniffles. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room, the other memebrs of ENHYPEN were all in chairs around the bed, some asleep, others still laced with small sniffles and tears. Jay's eye's caught many of the members as everyone jumped from their seats. Many questions were asked, and everyone felt releived to know he hadn't done any serious damage. Jay wasn't allowed to go to the practice room alone much after that. 

OMG I'M SO SORRY IVE BEEN DEAD FOR SO MANY MONTHS. With the last author's note I mentioned how I started Cross Country and I was very busy a lot of the time. The only days I HAD was Tuesday and sometimes Friday where I would have any time to relax becasue fo me also being in band and taking dance classes. However our last Competition for band is this Saturday, State assesment was yesterday, and Cross Country will end next week when I go to regionals with the team. After that I will be updating like I did during the summer, I hope. I will have time to write and do this again, that's a promise. I'm very excited to get to writing again. I hope you all have an amazing day/night!
