Wooyoung hasnt been feeling happy lately, he isnt sure why but he can't seem to smile or laugh like he used to. One night he decides to stay late and practice and san waits for him for hours. ends with some comfot and cuddles.
wooyoung woke up feeling a heavy feeling in his chest. he stared up at his ceiling and all he thought was how badly he wanted to go back to sleep and cover his face with his blanket to hide from the outside world. wooyoung had been feeling this way for a few days now, today being the worst so far. he ran his hand through his dyed pink hair breaking through a few knots with his index and middle finger.
he rolled over and got out of his warm bed dreading the day ahead of him.
"Wooyoung! good morning how did you sleep?" san ran up to wooyoung with a side hug and a huge dorky grin.
wooyoung forced a smile as he ruffled sans dark hair.
"i slept fine." wooyoung said monotone.
sans expression changed when he noticed the cold tone of wooyoung's voice.
"are you okay wooyoung? you're acting different than usual." san asked tilting his head to look at the younger.
"i'm fine san." wooyoung replied as he broke apart from san's embrace and walked into the kitchen with the others.
san hung his head as he followed.
"okay guys, we have a showcase this evening, it wont be too long but we're performing our cute concept songs. the line up is Wave, Illusion, Aurora, and we're finishing with Dancing like butterfly wings." hongjoon informed as he took a bite of his breakfast.
"yeah, remember to smile guys, the more stage presence the better." seonghwa suggested flashing a toothy smile towards the boys.
wooyoung sat with a blank expression as he nibbled on a piece of toast.
san sat a few seats away from wooyoung but kept his eyes glued on him the entire morning until they left to get dressed. san scratched the back of his head in frusteration as he put on the brightly colored outfit his stylist had picked out for the showcase. once he finished he waited outside of wooyoung's door so they could walk to the van together.
wooyoung stared into the bathroom mirror a deep frown on his face.
"why am i so sad today? nothing even happened... i just feel so down and i can't figure out why!" he said to himself as he angrily splashed water on his face.
after he finished dressing, he opened the door revealing a very smiley choi san.
"what are you doing here san?"
"im waiting for you silly, come on we gotta go." san said as he grabbed wooyoungs hand and dragged him downstairs.
all eight of them piled into the van and rode to the venue.
wooyoung stayed completely silent, as he stared out the window sadly.
the boys performed all their songs and met some fans afterwards. the whole event went pretty smoothly but wooyoungs condition seemed to get worse by the hour. at one point during the fan sign he disappeared from the table and didnt return for almost half an hour.
san tapped mingi on the shoulder.
"Mingi, where did wooyoung go?"
mingi glanced at wooyoung's empty seat before shrugging.
"i don't know, maybe he isn't feeling well." mingi said before turning back to the girl he was talking to.
san leaned back in his seat, feeling worried for the younger.
