Twice one-shots

Sleepy Dahyun (dahyo)

Dahyun's days had become a whirlwind of activity. Between her personal schedule, the upcoming K-drama, and TWICE's comeback preparations, she barely had a moment to breathe. The pressure was relentless, and it was beginning to take a toll on her.

The members were all busy with their own schedules and responsibilities, and while they cared deeply for each other, sometimes the signs of strain went unnoticed. But not for Jihyo. As the leader, she had an uncanny ability to sense when something was wrong, and lately, she had been particularly worried about Dahyun.

One evening, after an exhausting dance practice, the members were packing up to leave the studio. Dahyun, who had been unusually quiet, lagged behind. Jihyo watched as she moved slowly, her eyes drooping and her steps unsteady.

As the others headed out, chatting and laughing, Jihyo hung back. She saw Dahyun standing against the wall, her head slowly drooping forward. In an instant, Dahyun's eyes closed and she began to slide down the wall, too exhausted to stay upright.

"Dahyun!" Jihyo rushed to her side, catching her just before she collapsed completely.

Dahyun's eyes fluttered open, a look of confusion and embarrassment crossing her face. "Jihyo-unnie, I'm sorry... I just... I didn't realize how tired I was."

Jihyo's heart ached seeing her like this. She gently helped Dahyun to sit down on the floor, leaning her against the wall. "Dahyun, you need to rest. You're pushing yourself too hard."

Dahyun shook her head weakly. "There's so much to do. I can't afford to rest."

Jihyo knelt down beside her, her expression firm yet gentle. "Your health is more important than anything else. We can't perform at our best if one of us is struggling like this. The members, the fans, and the staff all care about you and would never want you to jeopardize your well-being."Tears welled up in Dahyun's eyes as she felt the weight of Jihyo's concern. "I just don't want to let anyone down."

"You could never let us down," Jihyo said softly, wiping a tear from Dahyun's cheek. "We're a team. We look out for each other. Please, let me help you."

Dahyun nodded, finally allowing herself to acknowledge the exhaustion that had been building up inside her. Jihyo helped her to her feet and supported her as they made their way out of the studio.

That night, Jihyo made sure Dahyun got home safely and settled her into bed. She informed the managers about Dahyun's condition and arranged for her schedules to be adjusted so she could get the rest she desperately needed.

The following morning, the members gathered around Dahyun, their expressions a mix of concern and guilt. They hadn't noticed how much she had been struggling, and they vowed to be more attentive to each other's well-being.

Dahyun, feeling both embarrassed and grateful, reassured them. "It's okay, really. I just need to learn to balance things better. And with all of you by my side, I know I can."

The members enveloped her in a group hug, their bond stronger than ever. Jihyo, watching over them with a proud smile, knew that they would face any challenge together, united in their love and support for one another.

From that day forward, they made a promise to always be vigilant, to notice the little signs, and to ensure that no one was ever left to bear their burdens alone. In their world of constant activity and pressure, they found solace in each other, knowing that together, they could overcome anything.
