Sorry it's a little late I've had a lot going on today and lost track of time :(

With a soft sigh, Jisung walked back towards the practice room after having left for the fourth time that day to fill up his water bottle in the lounge that was just down the hall. He'd been pouring every ounce of focus that he had into the choreography, leaving no possible room to be distracted by his imagination which left him incredibly tired and they were only a little over halfway through the day. Though with Rock-star's release approaching, Jisung wanted to be as prepared as he possibly could considering the fact that recently he'd been so distracted most of the time with everything else that was going on.

Jisung reached for the door handle right as it opened, Minho walking through the door frame, resulting in the two nearly colliding. They just stared at one another for a while. Longer than they should have. And Jisung felt his heart beating faster with each second that passed as Minho kept his eyes trained on him. His pupils studied the other's irises as they danced between each of his own like a perfect waltz. Jisung didn't even realize that Minho was looking at him in what may have been an 'odd way' based off the fact that the older suddenly straightened and his expression changed like a switch had been flipped, causing Jisung to straighten his posture too, becoming aware of his own expression since he figured the older was analyzing his own to see if he was okay like the day prior. Minho was the one who spoke first, "hey, sorry, we're uh, taking a little break right now actually."

"Oh," Jisung nodded, his voice soft and wondering why his voice was failing him, "alright, okay, yeah."

Minho smiled and stepped back into the room, holding the door open for the younger as he walked in and Jisung turned to watch Minho leave behind him. He stared at the door for a couple seconds after it had already shut, jumping when someone wrapped an arm around his shoulders, "you okay?"

Jisung looked to his left to see the owner of the arm there, taking a moment to process the question before glancing back at the door a few times too many, "yeah, I'm okay. I just...I was R just filling my water bottle again."

Jeongin chuckled, "well yeah I know, you told us before you left, remember?"

Jisung nodded slowly, suddenly recalling the moment he'd told the others he was leaving the room and bantering with Changbin who wanted Jisung to fill up his water bottle too and he'd told the older no, "right yeah."

"Ji, Ji, look at this I just saw," Felix sad as he ran over to the other rapper to show him the video he'd just come across on TikTok, Jeongin leaning over to watch as well.

And due to what had just happened in the hallway, Jisung watched the video absentmindedly, barely registering that it was an edit of himself as spiderman until it ended and Jeongin went, "woah," so Jisung said the same and Felix smiled as he said, "I thought you'd enjoy it."

"I did," Jisung nodded. And he really did as much as he was capable of doing so since his mind was appearing to be miles away when in reality it was only a few feet.

Minho walked back into the room not long after that, the eight of them getting back to work. Jisung poured his all into it not just because it was basically required, but to make sure he was focused on the choreography. On the song. On anything and everything that wasn't Minho. What didn't help was that they were facing the mirror and Jisung kept making eye contact with the older man because of it in the middle of one of the moves. Every single damn time. And he was beginning to get almost irritated at the fact that he lost a little focus every time because of it.
