Days melded into weeks, each one flowing seamlessly into the next as Jeongin grappled with the hidden weight of his anxieties. In the dorm shared with Felix, Seungmin, and Minho, he concealed his inner turmoil behind a facade of false smiles and forced laughter, burying his fears beneath layers of pretense.

Jeongin's once effervescent energy seemed to dim with each passing day, his laughter growing quieter and his gaze more distant. He found himself retreating further into the shadows of his mind, cocooned in a suffocating blanket of self-doubt and insecurity.

Felix, Seungmin, and Minho watched him with growing concern, their worry etched into the lines of their faces. They longed to reach out to him, to offer him comfort and support, but Jeongin remained stubbornly closed off, his walls impenetrable to their well-meaning gestures.

Meanwhile, in Chan's dorm, a similar atmosphere of unease hung heavy in the air. Despite his recent conversation with Jeongin, Chan couldn't shake off the nagging sense of concern that gnawed at his heart whenever he thought of the younger boy.

His thoughts were consumed by Jeongin, his mind drifting back to their heartfelt conversation and the weight of the younger boy's unspoken burdens. While Chan felt a sense of relief knowing that Jeongin had opened up to him, he couldn't help but worry about the road that lay ahead for his friend.

As Chan sat alone in his room, the weight of his concern pressing down on him like a heavy blanket, he resolved to give Jeongin the space he needed to heal, to let him know that he was there for him whenever he was ready to reach out again.
