Niki enhypen - Hurt

@mayarisamattar9 thanks for your request, hope you like it ! It was so much fun to do. 1200 words.

The stage was electrifying. The music pulsed, the crowd roared, and ENHYPEN performed with all the energy they could muster. For Niki, this moment was everything — he was doing what he loved, giving his all, feeling the rush of adrenaline as they powered through their set.

But during one particular jump, Niki's landing went wrong. He had executed the move flawlessly in rehearsals, but this time, as he came back down to the floor, too much force went into his left ankle. His foot twisted slightly, sending a shock of pain shooting up his leg.  I'm fine. It's just a sprain. I'll be okay after the performance is done, he thought to himself, his heart pounding.

At first, the pain didn't seem so bad. The adrenaline was still coursing through his body, and he pushed through, focusing on the next move, the next song. His face remained fierce and energetic as he danced. The music drowned out everything, even the growing discomfort in his ankle.

But as the set continued, Niki could feel the pain gradually intensifying with every step. It started as a dull throb, but by the second song, it had grown to a sharp sting that pulsed with each movement. His left ankle was swelling now, and he could feel it becoming more difficult to put weight on it.

Still, he fought through it, not wanting to disappoint the fans. He had always pushed himself to the limit, and this was no different. The thought of stopping never even crossed his mind. Not now, not during a performance. He kept dancing, his movements a little more cautious, but he refused to let anyone see he was struggling.

But with every jump, the pain grew. Every landing felt like the ground was rising up to meet him with force, making his ankle throb even harder. Just finish the songs, he told himself. Just three more songs. I can do this.

When they reached the final song, Niki's body was exhausted. His ankle felt like it was on fire, but he pushed on. The cheers of the crowd fueled him, and he gave it everything he had left, masking the pain in his expression, focusing solely on finishing strong.

And finally, the performance ended. The lights dimmed, and the members started walking off stage, still smiling from the thrill of the show. But as Niki moved forward, his ankle gave out. The pain was too much. His legs buckled beneath him, and he collapsed just out of sight of the cheering fans.

Jungwon and Jake, walking a few steps ahead, immediately turned when they heard the sound of Niki's fall. They hadn't expected this. They knew Niki was tough, but they also knew his stubbornness. They both quickly turned back, rushing to his side.

"Niki!" Jungwon exclaimed, kneeling beside him as Niki winced in pain, clutching his left ankle.

Jake immediately crouched next to him, his brow furrowing with concern. "What happened? You okay?"

Niki bit his lip, trying to push through the pain. He didn't want to admit how badly it hurt, not in front of them. "I'm fine. Just twisted it during a jump. It's nothing serious," he said, trying to sound nonchalant.

But Jungwon and Jake exchanged a glance, not fooled for a second. They could see the way Niki was sweating and the way his face had gone pale. The ankle wasn't just "twisted." Something more was wrong.

"Niki, that's not 'nothing serious,'" Jungwon said softly but firmly. "We need to get you to the dressing room and checked out. You can't just brush this off."

Niki opened his mouth to protest, but the pain was growing too intense, and he couldn't stop himself from flinching when he tried to move. "I'm fine, really," he muttered, but his voice was shaky now, betraying him.

Jake helped Niki sit up, his voice laced with concern. "You're not fine, Niki. You can't even put weight on it. We're taking you to the hospital."

Niki shook his head weakly. "No, I can wait till we get back. I don't want to cause trouble. You all have your schedules."

"You're not causing trouble," Jungwon replied, kneeling down in front of him. "But we're not leaving you like this. You're one of us, Niki. We'll always look out for you."

Niki hesitated, his stubbornness warring with the realization that he really couldn't walk on his own. His ankle was throbbing, swollen, and it was getting worse by the second. He finally nodded reluctantly. "Okay... okay, I'll go."

At the hospital, Niki's leg was elevated, and Heesung sat by his side, his phone out, trying to lighten the mood. He knew Niki's love for video games, so he suggested a distraction.

"Come on, focus on the game. The sooner you stop thinking about the pain, the faster it'll go away," Heesung said, offering his phone.

Niki took the phone and started playing, but even with his attention on the game, the pain didn't go away. He could still feel the sharp throb in his ankle, and every time he shifted in the seat, he was reminded that something was definitely wrong.

Heesung was his roommate, and the two of them had a quiet understanding — no words needed to communicate how tough things could be sometimes. But Niki appreciated it. He needed the distraction and Heesung's quiet presence to help take his mind off the injury, even if only for a little while.

"Niki, stop trying to act like you're fine. We're here with you," Heesung said as Niki let out a soft groan, rubbing his eyes. "We'll get through this. You're not alone."

The other members arrived hours later, all of them looking relieved to see Niki sitting up, albeit still in pain. Sunghoon was the first to walk over, gently putting a hand on his shoulder. "How are you feeling?"

"Better than before," Niki replied with a small smile, though his voice still held traces of exhaustion. "I'll survive."

The doctor confirmed that Niki had fractured his ankle, not a sprain like he initially thought, and that he would need rest and care to fully recover. The doctor instructed him to take it easy for several weeks, and Niki wasn't pleased with the idea of having to slow down. But he was also relieved that nothing worse had happened.

"We'll take care of you," Jungwon said, with a reassuring smile as he helped Niki back into the wheelchair after the check-up. "You've done enough for us, Niki. Now it's our turn to look after you."

Niki smiled gratefully at his members, his pride a little bruised, but knowing that he didn't have to fight this battle alone. Even though he hadn't wanted to admit his injury, he was thankful to have teammates who cared enough to help him.

The group left the hospital together, with Heesung and Niki sharing a seat in the van, both of them already discussing their next video game challenge. Niki may have been injured, but with his members by his side, he knew he'd be okay.

Thanks for reading. If you have any story in mind don't hesitate. I take request.
