The loud continuous thuds of all thirteen member's shoes hitting the floor simultaneously echoed throughout the practice room.

All of that noise couldn't compare to the constant pounding in Jun's head at the moment.

The headaches seemed to be never ending and started a few weeks ago, never forgetting to remind Jun of it's presence.

"Junhui, pay more attention please."

"Oh uh, sorry hyung." Quickly glancing at the ground, away from Seungcheol's eyes.

As the music began to play Jun put his body into auto-pilot dancing along to the song they played endlessly.

His body was sore and ached, his brain won't quit beating his skull, yet he couldn't stop thinking.

Thinking about how much he needs to get done for the comeback.

His voice was raspy from overuse, or the amount of times he practiced in a studio room.

He had to fix his voice soon.

Suddenly the song was over.

Jun was quick to plop onto the floor, not because he was tired, but because his legs were surely about to give in.

Scattered all around the practice room the members eyed him worryingly.

They've noticed his legs wobbling and Jun's cloudy, unfocused eyes.

But what was most unsettling was the total change in his demeanor.

Jun was always bright and childish, making the atmosphere light and cheerful.

But for the past few weeks Jun has been quiet, distant, and almost fragile.

As everyone began to leave Joshua stayed behind, watching as Jun slowly packed his belongings.

"Junhui." He sighed.

Jun jumped, startled at the voice. He thought everyone left already.

"Woah, hyung you scared me." He laughed and put a hand on his chest.

Joshua smiled back and sat down next to the younger boy.

"Jun, is something bothering you?"

"Um, yes?"

Joshua laughed a little, he wasn't expecting Jun to open up this easily.

"Well, tell me about it." He turned to the younger and ran his hand through Jun's soft hair, tucking a little behind his ear.

"I'm really scared for the comeback, it's happening so soon and I'm really not ready. The dance is so hard and my voice sounds like dying sheep, it really stressing me out."

Joshua couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Junhui your really overthinking everything." He grabbed the Chinese boy's shoulders, wiggling them around for effect.

"First of all you can literally do the dance perfectly without trying, I mean I just watched you do it. And your voice sounds fine, trust me."

"Please take a break and rest, you've practiced so hard we don't want you to hurt yourself."

They both stood up and collected their things. "I guess I was being a little silly."

"Nonsense, we all get stressed out like this once and awhile."

"Thanks hyung, it really helped."

"Anything for you, Junnie."

"Um, do you have any pain killers?"

....

Flicking off the cap of his water bottle Jun quickly chuggs it, beads of sweat pricking on his forehead as he paces the dressing room.

It was already time for their comeback stage and Jun's heart was racing.

One of the stylist noonas quickly shooed him into a seat as she fixes the makeup he had just smeared before it could dry.

"Junnie calm down you be just fine."

Seokmin saunters in, a large smile on his small face as he gently pats the boy's arm.

"Yeah, you've done this a million times."

"That's factually incorrect and even if it was I could still mess up and disappoint the fans."

He jerks his head forward, forcibly pulling his hair out of the straightener the stylist had been trying to fix his hair with causing that piece of hair to curl out in an odd angle.

The stylist sighs, gently lifting the boy's chin and starting again.

"Jun honey, please don't worry, you'll do amazing as usual."

Jeonghan pops his head into the room, his soft hair falling into his eyes before he shakes them out of the way.

"Don't pressure yourself, you're literally perfect at everything."

"Yep, that definitely made it worse." He sighed but could suppress a quite giggled at his members cute attempts to cheer him up.

Tears well up in Jun's eyes as he looks over at the monitor, the camera had been faced to view the crowd but the sound was off.

Even without sound he could imagine the deafening roar and cheers of excited fans.

His stomach drops as he squeezes his eyes shut.

"Guys I-"

"You're on in 60 seconds."
