Working and Skipping 1

Requested by @imo

Hoseok's mixtape was taking a lot of his time up. It had gotten to the point where he had no time left to help the others with the choreography or hang out with the members to play video games or watch movies.

He forgot to take care of himself. His whole world now revolved around getting the flow correct for the rap he had written or getting the transition perfect for his song. The only time he left his studio was to go to the bathroom, go to practice or change his clothing.

Previously, Hoseok used to tease Yoongi for his strange working habits. Now he had adopted them into his own.

The dancer might not have known it - but the others knew that it was only a matter of time until he collapsed and got overwhelmed.

With a satisfying clack, Hoseok threw his pencil off his desk. He sighed, rubbing his head. The loud music from the headphones had given him a headache, but he couldn't stop now. The transition still wasn't perfect - and his perfectionist self wouldn't settle for anything average.

Visions of food and a real bed swam through his head, after all, it had been a long time since he had managed to enjoy those things. But if he didn't work hard to make his mixtape magnificent, then his whole image would suffer.

The clock ticked away. It was already past midnight. Hoseok hadn't had anything to eat all day except the bowl of pasta that Tae had made him at break. Even that had been at least twelve hours ago.

His stomach grumbled loudly as he slipped his headphones back on. The bright screen stimulated his senses. In a craze, Hoseok deleted the old transition that he had put in, but then hit a blank.

To be honest, the dancer had no more ideas. At this rate, he would be spending the whole night here in front of the computer, getting nothing done. His mind wandered over to the choreography the group had learned this morning. Hoseok tried to run through the dance mentally but found that he didn't remember most of the moves at all. This was going to cause problems the next day. The main dancer forgetting the dance? Impossible.

"I'm so stupid," Hoseok muttered under his breath. Part of him wished that he possessed the musical genius the other members had flowing from their fingertips.

He hated being a perfectionist. Some might consider being one a positive trait, but the reality was far more twisted than the myth. A single note or beat out of place could (and did) drive Hoseok crazy. The constant ringing in his head that he was nothing more than a positive sunshine who screamed and laughed to BTS.

A few days earlier, Hoseok had watched a poll titled "who is the most popular members of BTS?".

He was dead last.

Now if anybody asked why he was working himself like this, he had an answer. He was working hard because he wanted people to appreciate him.

Trying to drown his attention on getting the beats right, Hoseok stuck himself into the rigorous cycle all over again.

"He didn't come home this night either!"

Jin's yell woke up Yoongi who was resting his head on his pillow. The rapper shot up, eyes wide upon hearing the words.

"He's going to kill himself doing this!"

Jin rolled his eyes. "In all fairness, you live that kind of life too, always stuck in that stuffy studio of yours and never sleeping or eating-"
