[AllN] The End of Another Year

"The End of Another Year"

Sometimes Hakyeon just can't believe it.

How six people would come together, all different from each other and all having almost nothing in common.

It's so weird... He thought as he watched the other five members play some video games in the living room. Is this really real?

He stared at the clock that was nearing midnight. The year was about to end and soon, they'll start all over again. Every year that goes by changes them.

Just looking at how playful Taekwoon is with the younger members, is a clear sign of change.

It felt like just not too long ago when Hyuk was so small and easily intimidated by Taekwoon. It was Hakyeon who stepped in between to hope that they would get along. Now, Hyuk was like the man of the house where no one can really argue with him.

Then there was Hongbin sitting next to the two. Hakyeon sometimes pull out their old selfies together since they first met just to reminisce the past. The younger used have so little confidence in himself and always hid his insecurities with those dimple smiles. Most would get fooled by Hongbin but Hakyeon knew very well when the younger was truly happy or not.

Hakyeon doesn't know whether or not Wonshik's change is good though. He still questions it to be honest. Wonshik is seldom in their dorms and in fact, lives in his studio more so. The younger is very passionate about music and composing but Hakyeon doesn't know if he should actually be happy for Wonshik. After all, the times Hakyeon could actually see the younger is when they have activities to do.

Then, there was Jaehwan. Everyone's vitamin and energizer. Similar to Hongbin, Jaehwan hides his anger and frustration with a smile. He tries so hard not to lash out at people and it's not because he's angry at others, it's because he's angry at himself. Hakyeon used to be very demanding when it comes to Jaehwan's dance and the two of them used to argue a lot about that matter. Eventually, Hakyeon realized that not everyone is the same. He knew that if there was one thing Jaehwan is good at compared to him or anyone else, it'd be singing. So, Hakyeon coped with it and offered Jaehwan assistance whenever the younger wanted it.

As Hakyeon watched his members play around like a bunch of kids, he couldn't help but be thankful for having to have met them. Just as how Hakyeon has seen them changed, they changed Hakyeon a lot too.

Hakyeon was always worried about being the oldest of the group. He's the youngest in his family and his parents doted on him a lot. He knew he wanted to be a role model and an older brother for the longest time since growing up but he never thought he'd be the oldest of five strangers.

It didn't look like it to others but it took Hakyeon a lot of courage just to speak with the other trainees in Jellyfish. The first step was always the hardest. Eventually after he took the first step, it got a bit easier over time. But because he was the oldest, he had a lot of responsibilities too. It was the hardest for him when the members couldn't come to an agreement with things and would argue about it in front of him. Hakyeon knew it would be risky to take sides because no matter which side he took, he would end up hurting someone else in the process.

That was when Hakyeon felt as if he had no control and he felt so useless not being able to help his members make amends.

Why's it so hard? Why do I have to be the leader? Can I just give up now? Are the things that he constantly had in mind whenever the group gets into an argument.
