tired and overstimulated were the only accurate words that currently describes mizu. the group had some last minute changes a day before they had to perform on stage. everyone seemed to be managing well and are even joking around. mizu tries her best to hide her sensitivity as she joins her fellow members' conversation.
they were being playful and bantering in english. the boys looked so happy, mizu couldn't bring herself to speak of her frustration of not understanding their jokes. she quietly excused herself, trying to hide her tears. changbin noticed her subtle gesture and departure. feeling a pang of worry, he quietly followed her.
changbin saw her going in the spare room and sighed to himself as he approached the door. he gently knocked on the door before softening his tone. "mimi? can i come in? it's just me."
mizu opened the door, leaving a tiny gap to look up at him. "what do you want?" she didn't mean for her tone to sound dismissive but she was really trying not to cry.
he noticed that something definitely was bothering her even more this time. he could clearly see that her eyes were getting teary. he felt a little bad for even bothering her when she was obviously already not doing well. "i just wanted to see if you are okay..." he said, still sounding very concerned. he didn't like seeing mizu upset, and so naturally, he was willing to do what he could to try and help her.
she looked away from him, eyes traveling everywhere as she reluctantly replied. "come in..." mizu muttered as she walked further into the room. she walked towards a table to lean against it. leaving the door open and letting changbin enter.
changbin stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. he walked over to her and stood in front of her. he crossed his arms together as he looked at mizu, just watching how she looked so bothered. there was an obvious look of worry evident on his face.
"what's wrong..? what happened..?" he asked, trying to keep his voice soft and quiet. "it's nothing... really..." mizu murmured and shrugged her shoulders. her eyes still refuse to look at him.
he let out a soft huff. it was obvious that she was lying. it was clear that something was bothering her, based on how her voice was shaky and soft. "it doesn't sound like it's nothing..." he said, his voice still as soft and quiet as it was previously.
"but it should be nothing. we were just joking around." she insisted, unsure if she was trying to convince him or herself. changbin gave her a very confused look. he tilted his head slightly to the side and he let out a soft huff. he wasn't convinced by mizu's words in the slightest, knowing from experience that something had definitely happened that bothered her.
"i'm not convinced that it was just a joke. you look like you're about to cry. i can literally hear it in your voice..." his voice still very soft as he stepped a bit closer.
mizu kept quiet for a moment, unable to find the right words for this situation. "i know my english isn't good... and my korean is not a hundred percent either..." she explained, her hands kept fidgeting as she hesitantly tilted her head up to look at him. "sometimes, i feel like i'm missing out a lot when you guys joke around in english."
his expression softening as he listened to her words. a slight look of guilt appeared on his face as he slowly began to put the pieces together on what was bothering her. he could feel the guilt grow.
