"JUST change this part right here... yes, that one... good. Play it again?" Namjoon crosses his arms as the staff member replays the few seconds before he receives a nod. "Hm, much better. And what about this?"
"Namjoon! Yoongi! Come here when you finish with that!" Another staff member calls, a clipboard in his hands.
"Yes!"
Taehyung tilts his head from where he was currently taking a break on one of the chairs, slightly panting and hair clinging to his forehead. Despite the way he was sweating, he felt weak and cold. He pulls the strings from his hoodie tighter and lets out a shaky breath of air, trying to feel less chilly.
"Do you wanna try the steps again, Tae?"
Snapping out of his thoughts, the younger peers away from where he'd been observing the leader and meets Hoseok's expectant gaze. "Yeah, just one more minute, hyung."
"Alright, just don't strain yourself."
With an absent-minded nod, Taehyung uncaps a water bottle and takes a couple of careful swigs before reverting his attention back to a certain tall male who was now looking over some papers where their schedule was planned out.
He didn't know why he was so enticed toward every action the leader was making today. It's just that for some reason, the intensity of concentration and knowledge evident as he spoke and meticulously tended to things was more alluring than usual.
The leader glances up from where the staff member was discussing a matter with him and inadvertently meets the younger's gaze. They stare at each other for a moment before Namjoon's attention is interrupted once more.
Taehyung looks away and straightens, walking warily toward Hoseok, his legs almost like jelly. "I'm ready, hyung."
"Good, Taehyung-ah. Just stand over there next to Jimin and Jin hyung." The dancer points to where the other two members were practicing. "We'll start over."
The rest of the time is put into practice. Although he felt feeble and fatigued because he'd caught a cold from the past few days, he continues to push himself through it, knowing he needed to put in extra effort or else he'd really fall behind.
Yes, he was tired, but even if he had just an ounce of energy left, he wanted to take full advantage of it. Something about laying in bed when he could be trying to work was extremely unsettling to him.
When they finally finish, Taehyung huffs and makes his way over to the chair where he'd placed his water. Grasping the bottle, he unscrews the cap and practically gulps down the entire thing.
Despite how his body was burning, the sweat accumulating upon his skin felt clammy and cold. Taehyung shudders and pulls his hoodie tighter around him, knowing he should head back home for a quick shower.
