Seventeen was deep into their "Face the Sun" world tour, performing in packed venues night after night. The thrill was palpable, but so was the pressure. For Dokyeom, who managed ADHD with medication, the relentless schedule was starting to take its toll. The stress of performing was causing his medication to lose some of its effectiveness, though he hadn't noticed at first.

The other members, who were all aware of Dokyeom's ADHD and his treatment, began to see subtle changes. He seemed more easily distracted during rehearsals, sometimes forgetting details or losing focus on simple tasks. They exchanged worried looks, sensing that something was off but not wanting to push him before he was ready to talk about it.

One night after they arrived in Chicago, Seungcheol decided it was time for a conversation. He pulled Dokyeom aside and gently explained that the group had noticed he seemed different lately. Surprised, Dokyeom realized he hadn't paid much attention to his symptoms, overwhelmed by the constant movement of the tour.

Together, Seungcheol and Dokyeom called his doctor in South Korea, who listened carefully to Dokyeom's recent experiences. The doctor explained that the stress of the tour could interfere with his medication's effectiveness and advised him to try to manage his stress more actively. If that wasn't enough, the doctor suggested a slight increase in his dosage to help him get through the tour. He also recommended that Seungcheol keep track of Dokyeom's medication just in case.

Over the next few days, Dokyeom followed his doctor's guidance, increasing his dose slightly and trying to carve out small moments to relax, even if it was just a few minutes between rehearsals. The members, seeing his effort, made sure to do everything they could to keep his spirits up, giving him encouragement and keeping things lighthearted.

Slowly, Dokyeom began to feel more like himself again. His energy and focus returned, and with them, his usual bright smile. He thanked each member for their support, grateful to have friends who had his back. With Dokyeom feeling steady and at ease once more, the group continued the tour, knowing they could face any challenge together.
