When The Cameras Are Off.

... Trois

All of the members sat in the main room of their now shared dorm after a week of settling themselves in. It was now the start of their new variety show, 'Enhypen&Hi' and all of the members were extremely excited.

To start things off, the camera crew wanted individual shots of the members, just a small introduction before the real show begins. Heeseung was first, and it was now Jungwon's turn. He was nervous, it was his first time in front of a camera in a while but he knew there was nothing to be afraid of. It's not like I-Land So he wasn't being tested for anything.

He walked into the room and sat in the same chair Heeseung was in. He saw the fingers of the camera man counting down from three before Jungwon started. "Hello, I'm seventeen year old Yang Jungwon. I've always imagined life as a trainee, but I've never thought about life after debuting. Since I've been in the debut team for just a day, its still hard to get used to." Jungwon said before the camera cut.

"Okay, perfect, we'll put this in with a few clips from you in I-Land then it'll be ready! thank you for participating." The camera man said and Jungwon bowed politely with a little smile before walking out of the room. The next member was Sunoo, Sunghoon, Jake, Ni-Ki, and then Jay.

Jay also stepped into the room exactly where the other six had sat. "I'm Jay. I've danced a lot since I was young and I came here to become an artist. The starting point at which I can begin the road to music that I'd really like to do, with my Colleagues??" Jay said softly, tilting his head. Colleagues? Brothers sounds better.

All of Enhypen sat down on little pillows on the floor. The beginning of I-Land started to roll in. Jay felt a wave of relief wash over him knowing they weren't in that hell of a place. Jay glanced over at Jungwon was giggling over some things on the TV, a small smile on his own face.

He remembers how scared Jungwon was when I-Land began. The excitement of becoming an idol slowly drained out of him and the fear of what they'll be put through and not making it to their debut was high.

There was countless nights where Jay spent his time with Jungwon, giving him advice, putting faith and hope in Jungwon, keeping a smile on his face and always there to congratulate him when he succeeded.

When Jungwon had enough confidence, he made sure to return the favor.

He looked back at the TV and felt himself laugh and cringe at how young they looked at the start of it all. But Jungwon looked adorable. With his chubby cheeks, sparkling eyes, his soft hair. He looked like a baby and it only made Jay adore him more.

Seeing Jungwon's solo shot pop up randomly, a bunch of 'oooooh's rolled in. Jay laughed at that. Jungwon was smiling in embarrassment and a small amount of happiness at the attention to himself on the screen. Then Jay showed up and it was his turn to be embarrassed. Jungwon sees the difference then and now. He'll miss Jay's long hair. It was so bouncy and healthy but he still looked great now.

"I gained weight then" Jay commented and Jungwon almost looked at Jay like he was crazy. He was a little chubs back then but Jungwon thought it was cute.

Jay couldn't help but glance at Jungwon ever so often. The small reactions and giggles. Jay smiled to himself and looked away. It was then Jungwons turn to glance at Jay a few times. The eagle eyes, natural lip pout, the hair falling over his eyes. Jungwon licked his lips and looked back at the TV with a happy sigh. Happy because he and Jay made it.

Jay mentally prepared for the embarrassment now that he and Sunghoon's performance in the beginning was starting. Then it started. Jay bit his lip as he focused, maybe being focused on the performance would help the embarrassment and it did at some point. "You really did well!" Sunoo said and Jay smiled a bit at that.

Jay looked at Jungwon who seemed to be interested, joking around with Sunghoon about his own performance.
They all started to watch as more performances started. Ni-ki's, Heeseung's which everyone was so transfixed. He was the Trainee's Ace.

Eventually their little binging was over and everyone was getting ready for bed. Jungwon was still in the shower which Jay soon found out that Jungwon was just like that. He's unsure why he takes so long and he could hear Sunoo complaining about it.

Jungwon finally made it out of the shower after what seemed like an hour. Sunoo complaining about it as he walked inside for skin care things. "I don't take long in the shower" he mumbled. "Huh? You showered for a really long time." Sunoo said, absolutely astonished that Jungwon had the nerve to disagree. Where's Jay? Jungwon thought as he started to walk into a room.

Jay was in one of the bedrooms, climbing into bed which felt absolutely amazing. But he couldn't fall asleep. Even if it was dark and the bed felt comfortable. Still, he tried and put on an eye mask trying his best to ignore the members' mumbling.

He could faintly hear Jungwon whining and being silly, he smiled at it and said nothing more. Slowly, one by one, everyone started to sleep.

--

Soon morning came and the sun seeped in through the blinds. Everyone was still asleep as they have fallen asleep late. Sunoo had a face mask on his face still, everybody's hair was a mess. "Guys, get ready to leave!" The manager announced and Jay was the first one to respond and get up. They had training to do for their first ever album.

Jay left to the kitchen and for some reason in the midst of his half asleep state, he took out a large liter of Coca Cola and one by one all the members started to wake up and pile into the rooms.

Jungwon also started to wake up and get moving. Most of the members were already waking up and getting ready for their day and half of them were still trying to jump back into the real world in their little sleep-filled heads.

They all started to get their fix of breakfast before they get to their training. Shoving spoonfuls of cereal in their mouths with limited time before they have to go. They all were about a little halfway there mentally with the other 40% in dream land.

Slowly they all start moving into the car with some last few minutes of gathering what they need.

--

They all started walking into the building from the VIP lot. Just being here felt like a dream to Jungwon and Jay, walking side by side. They made sure they were out of the view from the cameras. "How are you feeling??" Jay said softly and Jungwon took a deep breath. "A bit overwhelmed by everything. I knew what I wanted when I signed up but now that it's actually happening..? It's a lot." Jungwon mumbled and Jay hummed in acknowledgement.

"I understand. It felt a lot for me too when I was showering. Being an idol is a lot, that I know. J-hope told me about it. I'm sure they'll be a little lenient on us for the first month." Jay said softly.

They all took a tour into the little lobby where most group Vlives happen. They saw the rows of BTS albums and it was honestly so surreal at that moment. No more videos and admiring from afar. They were in *the* building.

This. This was real.

This wasn't my best chapter, I feel like it was all over the place but I hope you've enjoyed it at least a bit.

Update: I have tweaked a few things and added some things in. Hopefully it's better!!
