Practice

Dance practice. Something that Changbin dreads. He loves the choreography for each of the songs. But he is a bit slow on learning them. He'll be a bit behind from the other members. And he hates that he's holding them back.

"Where you going hyung?" Changbin stopped walking and looked towards Hyunjin.

"Practice room." He says blankly. Hyunjin raises an eyebrow.

"Why?" He asks but somewhat knowing the answer.

"To practice the new choreography." Stray Kids were having their next comeback in a couple weeks and they have been practicing and preparing for it.

"Do you want me to come along? To teach you and see your progress?" Hyunjin asks about to grab his things.

Changbin shook his head. "No thanks Jinnie. I wanna be alone right now."

Hyunjin nodded and let Changbin leave. The rapper quickly made it to the practice room and set his bag down. He did some stretches and then got ready for his practice.

He played the song they've been working on, 'Double Knot' and he got into position. He clicked play from a small remote and practiced.

He kept messing up here and there but kept going through the beat. Once the song was over, he went over the moves he missed and what beats he should be coming on.

He sighed and wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead. "Come on Changbin. You can do this." He said trying to motivate himself.

He continued to practice for hours. He kept going through the same moves he missed, played the song at a slow tempo and progressing from there.

The rapper decided to take a small break. He walked over to his bag and pulled out a water bottle and a small towel. He leaned against the wall and wiped away the sweat.

He took a long sip from his water and sighed from the relief of hydration.

He turned his head towards the sound of the practice room door opening. He saw platinum blond hair sticking out and looking around the room.

He automatically knew it was Chan. The leader took a step in and closed the door. He walked towards Changbin and waved at him.

"Hyunjin said I'd find you here." He says before taking a seat across from him.

Changbin takes a sip of water and nods.

"You weren't answering your phone." The leader says, slight worry and slight stern in his tone.

"I'm sorry. I've been too immersed in my practicing." Changbin says.

Chan nods in understanding. "Can I see your progress?"

Changbin wanted to say no. But Chan is his leader and he does need to evaluate every member and their progress.

So he nodded and got up, Chan following him.

Changbin gave him the small remote to press play from the computer. Chan let him get into position before pressing play.

Changbin danced through the whole song, missing steps every once in awhile. Once he finished, he was slightly panting and feeling tired.

"Alright. Your progress is good. Better then past days during rehearsal." Chan says folding his arms.

Changbin thanks him and sits on the floor.

"I'll teach you the moves you've missed and what beat to come on." Chan says sitting next to the tired rapper.

Changbin just nods and falls back onto the floor, closing his eyes.

"Why are you pushing yourself?" He heard Chan ask. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"I don't wanna be a burden towards the group. Everyone is ahead of me and our comeback is just around the corner. I wanna perfect it." He simply states not looking at his leader.

"You're not a burden. You never will be." Chan says looking at the younger.

"Sure our comeback is just around the corner but you shouldn't push your limit." Chan says getting up.

Changbin looks at him and sits up. Chan offers a hand and he takes it standing up.

"Shall we practice the moves you missed?" Changbin nods and listens to Chan.

They spent about an hour practicing the moves Changbin missed. Soon he got the moves down and danced through the whole song with no mistakes.

"Thank you Chan hyung." Changbin says while packing his stuff.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you got it down." Chan says waiting for him by the door.

They left the practice room and went to straight to the dorms.

Changbin told Chan that he was going to shower. Chan said okay and left to do his own thing.

After Changbin showered he realized that he didn't bring in a shirt or hoodie. He walked out the bathroom shirtless and only in joggers.

He walked into his room and saw Minho and Chan on their phones and on the leaders bed.

"No one wants to see that Changbin." Minho says playfully.

Changbin plays along and flexes his arms. "You're telling me you wouldn't like to see this?"

The two eldest laugh and shakes their head. Changbin giggles and walks to his drawers to find something to put on.

That's when he saw emptiness in his drawers. He forgot to do laundry and now has nothing.

"Can I borrow one of your guys hoodie? I forgot to do laundry." Changbin asks rubbing the back of his neck.

Chan nods and stands up from his bed and grabs a hoodie for the younger. The rapper thanks him when he hands it over to him.

He pulls it over his head and pats it down. The hoodie was big on him. "You look cute." Chan says and playfully pinched his cheeks. Changbin swatted his hand with the sweater paw.

"Gross. I'm leaving." Minho says and calls out for Jisung.

The leader rolls his eyes knowing what the dancer will be doing. Changbin laughs and takes a seat in his bed.

He pulled out his phone and listened to their song trying to remember the movements in his head.

Chan noticed and raised an eyebrow at him.

"You're gonna practice again?"

Changbin shakes his head. "I'm just gonna listen to the song and remember the movements."

Chan nodded and sat down next to him on his bed.

Halfway through the song, Chan quickly stood up and started doing his part in the song. Changbin watched him and laughed when the older was being playful during the dance.

"Nice moves hyung." Changbin says when the older falls onto the floor, slightly panting. Chan gives a breathy laugh.

"Are you feeling better now?" Chan asks sitting up on his elbows. Changbin raises an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Are you feeling better? Like you don't feel like a burden anymore?" Chan asks again.

"Oh." Changbin now understood what the older meant. He guessed the conversation from earlier really impacted the leader.

"Yeah. I am actually." He answers honestly. Chan stood up and took a seat again next to him. He wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"I'm glad. I don't want anyone feeling like that. Especially you." Chan whispers. Changbin simply nods and pats his arms in a comfortable manner.

Chan let's go and smiles. Changbin mirroring him.

"Next time you go to practice, let me tag along." Chan says. Changbin agrees to it.

Dance practice is hard. And it's something Changbin dreads. But with the help of Chan, he looks forward to them.
