ANGEL ☾ winwin one shots.

ramen. [yuwin]

this one's pretty short, I just wanted to write something during a rainy day and got this.

" winwin, please focus !" the manager yelled out in frustration.

sicheng flinched and he winced. he hates being shouted at. all the members who were practising their dance stopped and averted their attention to him.

" if you can't do this, might as well don't debut. don't waste my time. just pack your bags and go home !"

the members began to feel pity for him. the manager's words were unnecessarily rude and offensive. they know, sicheng wasn't showing his best, but there's no need to use such words.

he's not doing the best because he's too tired. why can't the manager be a little bit considerate and let him rest? it's sickening.

" I'm—s... sorry ."

the latter muttered out, as he fiddles with his fingers. his habit when he's scared or wants to cry but can't. the manager looked at him in disbelief then left the practice room with a huff.

" don't mind that jerk. he's exaggerating. you did just well, sicheng. we know you're tired and it's okay ." taeyong comforted him as he patted the younger's shoulder. " take some rest, sicheng. you deserve it ."

sicheng flashed him a sad-slash-tired smile. he's really exhausted these days. there's just a few weeks left before they debut with their song 'firetruck', and they're working really hard.

he began to take less and lesser rest since he wanted to give it his all. he wanted to show what he could do. but it's eating himself alive. he lost weight and his face was visibly pale.

sometimes he even fell dizzy and lose his sight during practises. it's getting serious but he's still pushing himself to the limits.

the members, of course, were worried and told about his health conditions to the manager. but the manager said they were overreacting and it's normal for idols to go through such state. he even said if sicheng's so weak, he could just leave.

" taeyong hyung's right. he's such a big jerk. don't worry about it. and you should really get some rest ." doyoung butted in as he wiped his sweat using his shirt.

" I wish we would change to a better manager ." taeil said as he plopped on the floor, feeling worn out.

" it's okay guys, it's my mistake ."

sicheng threw himself lightly on the sofa. he was exhausted, inside and out. he had to train twelve hours a day. he has to cut his carbohydrate taking to maintain the ideal weight. plus, he still has to learn korean and japanese.

his manager constantly yelling at him doesn't help at all. it just makes him feel worse. he felt as if he's really useless and not helping his members. he's just delaying their practise. maybe he should really leave.

" you okay ?" yuta asked as he sat beside sicheng. the blond nodded exhaustedly. " you know, I agree with them. you did really well. I know you're tired. you work harder than any of us ."

" that's not true. you guys work harder ."

" sicheng, you know it's true. you need to learn two languages at once. and when the others are sleeping, you will practise your dance alone at your room. you skip meals to practise. but you get the least lines and our manager treats you very unfairly. if I was you, I would die ."

sicheng chuckled softly. " now you are overreacting ."

" see? you look so much better with a smile. no offense, but I hate it when you wince ." yuta flashed a warm smile.

" you always comfort me in the best way. thank you, yuta ."

the younger leaned on his shoulder and smiled. they both stayed in their positions for a while. then not long after that, yuta spoke.

" you know, the best way to comfort someone is by food. let's get some ramen ."

" if you're paying ." sicheng teased.

" that won't be much problem. let's go ."

yuta stood up and took sicheng's hands, helping him to get up. then he intertwined their fingers. after informing taeyong, they both left to the cafeteria.

" you know, they're cute and all but the ramen part got me ." jaehyun spoke after drinking his water.

" shut it, yoonoh. they're foreigners. they don't know what that means. don't ruin this cute moment ." johnny said as he took the water bottle from the other.

" but... what if they know ?" jaehyun smiled smugly.

" before I spit on you, shut up ."
