This story is inspired by Hanbin's unreleased song called "Fairy tale." He uploaded the song on January 16, 2019, on Jennie's birthday. It is known that Hanbin rarely posts something on his Instagram unless it's someone's birthday or he just feels l...
The day went by for both of the groups. They continue to follow their schedules. iKON starts practicing their I'm OK choreography. There's one month left before their comeback so they have been busy for the following days. One particular person isn't focus as he used to be. He's not messing up the choreography but his moves look sluggish and weary.
"Hanbin, are you okay?." Jinwhan noticed Hanbin's eyes have been looking droopy. Usually, when it's the time for their comeback they have to face the stern, serious and merciless BI. But all he does today is a nod, agree and zoned out which Jinhwan finds boring.
"I'm okay hyung. Why?" Hanbin asks. He feels dispirited for the past few days. He's denying all the emotions he has. Instead of facing his fears and anxiety, he continues to move around, looking for something that will fill him up. He doesn't want to entertain unnecessary feelings.
"We just started dancing but you look exhausted."
"I'm sleepy." Hanbin tries not to make eye contact with Jinhwan. He doesn't want to bother his members.
"Lies. Hanbin, you're still thinking of Jennie." He pats the young one in the head and smile.
"Remember, it may be stormy now but it can't rain forever." Jinhwan continues.
"I know hyung. But I'm not thinking of her. She---I'm happy for her." Hanbin once again lies to save himself. Jinhwan raises his eyebrow and mock Hanbin's statement. Hanbin is triggered to see his hyung mocking him and not believing his words.
"Really. I'm really happy for her. Believe me. I'm really happy." Hanbin continues to support his previous statement. Not knowing he sound defensive.
"uh huh. Who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself?" Jinwhan asks. This leaves Hanbin thinking. He's trying to convince himself that he is happy for her. Since he was able to convince Jennie before maybe he can convince himself that he is indeed happy.
"As much as I loved to see you suffer but we need BI right now. We need our leader this time. Scold us, point to us our mistakes and asks us to do it again until we're exhausted to make a move. Seriously leader, we need you." Hanbin nods and tap Jinhwan in the back. He disappoints them before and now he's making them worried. He fails to be a leader this time.
"Alright. Let's do it again. All of you needs to memorize the steps in 1 hour. After that, we will check and clean our moves for the remaining hours." Hanbin shouts and clapped so loud to take all their attention.
"Why did you awaken the sleeping Lion? I was enjoying myself earlier now I have to work hard again." Junhoe whispers and complains to his hyung.
"Stop complaining and start moving. If he catches you lazying around, good luck facing the merciless BI." Yunhyeong said to Junhoe and laughs.
The boys continue to practice until midnight. They have to shoot their music video next week. They're trying to catch up with their schedules. As the boys became busy every day it becomes hard to take 8 hours of sleep. They always have to battle their tiredness and sleepiness. Some members are suffering under this hellish schedule but there's one particular person who seems to find this fitting and took it as almost a gift.
Hanbin tries to sleep after their schedule but he can't. Whenever he closes his eyes he remembers Jennie and Kai. That thought alone awakes him and makes him want to write lyrics. He's thankful that their schedule is pack and busy. He doesn't want to stay in the apartment and rest. His mind will only wander in the loneliness of a coward soldier.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK has also been busy. They have to shoot their respective advertisement. Jennie has been shooting for Chanel but her mind is busy with other conflicts. She didn't hear anything from his manager about the issue that raised last week. Every day her anxiety rises, every day breathing becomes a hard thing to do.
Jennie is lazying around their couch while waiting for her members. She open her Instagram and saw Jinhwan's post.

Jennie noticed Hanbin's behavior has been worse. Before, she always see him looking lonely but still focused and passionate at everything he does. But these past few days he looks half dead, half living. She's getting worried although she's feeling guilty because she knows she's partly at fault for making him like that.
She smiles reading the comments left by his members. The iKON members are bunch of silly boys.

She closes the app and open her contact list. She's hesitating between calling Hanbin or just send him a message. She spends her time deciding whether to bother him or not. Suddenly her phone rang and shows his name caller id.

Why does he always have the best timing to call me? She thought to herself before answering.
