Wallflower: Lee Yeonjin |I-Land| ENHYPEN

꧁EPISODE 25꧂

Sorry for disappearing for a whole month. I have no excuse I just didn't have inspiration.😣

"Ugh, it's too much!"

I turn my attention to the brunette a few feet away as he does the same move over and over again trying to perfect it.

We have been practicing for at least 2 hours now. We took a break in between about 30 minutes ago and everyone seemed pretty at ease, except for the ones who were having trouble with bits and pieces of the choreography. We had all been stressing pretty hard considering this was the final chance to get in the debut lineup. Everyone was stressed, whether they were having trouble or not.

"K Hyung, can you help me with this?" Kyungmin asks feeling a tiny bit embarrassed for asking the older even though it's a given we help each other out as teammates.

Turning my attention away from the two I stare at my reflection in the mirror as I redo the main parts again. I've been doing this for quite some time, not talking to anyone except for those who asked small questions on how to do certain moves. You'd think I'd have gotten tired of it by now but I wasn't even thinking of how heavy my limbs felt. How exhausted my body felt or how hazy my mind felt or the moments when my eyes would involuntarily go blurry for a few seconds. I wasn't thinking about any of that. Instead, I was busy worrying about a certain boy who was currently stuck at the Ground and also a little about myself and debuting.

So many thoughts and scenarios would play through my mind to the point I was blocking out the rest of the chaos around me. Whatever would happen in the future from here on out plays a huge role in our lives, and it's all based on this performance.

Sighing I stop my movements and stand still for a few seconds before glancing around and observing as everyone practiced for the upcoming performance. Then I walked out of the practice room making my way to the showers.

I needed to get my mind off of all of this and relax a little or I would quite literally pass out, and I didn't need that to happen right now. So I peeled off the thin fabric that clung to my chest as I was glistening with sweat from previous matters and I hopped into the shower; making sure the temperature was just right.

I could take a cold shower. I could also take a hot shower. But I wasn't going to take a cold shower right now because it wouldn't relax me, and that's exactly what I was trying to do.

For the next few minutes as I'm washing my hair and cleaning up, I hum the tune that's been stuck in my head since it got played just yesterday. I've already replayed the song so much for practice that it's stuck in my head and not in a good way. It was to the point it annoyed me and made my head hurt, and that's weird considering all I do is listen to music 24/7. So, I believe it's due to stress.

When I'm done I get dressed and wash my face. Should I blow dry my hair or leave it to dry on its own?

As I stand there thinking in front of the mirror I shrug my shoulders and leave the bathroom without a further thought.

Instead of going towards my room and lying down, I head straight for the kitchen. Had I eaten today? I couldn't remember. The last thing I remember eating is the Bulgogi I made yesterday. Had I really not eaten since yesterday? No, surely I had breakfast this morning. What even was for breakfast? I didn't make it so who did?

As I'm walking into the kitchen the thought leaves my head as soon as I smell the lingering scent of freshly made food.

"Mm, that smells good what is that?" I say walking around the corner of the island and going to where the older boy stood finishing up the meal he was making.
