It was late when the group came back to their dorm after practice. The past few days have been even more exhausting than ever so all of them just wanted to shower and go to bed

Since they showered in the order of their age, Sunwoo knew he had plenty of time before it was his turn so he took his phone and headphones and sat down on his bed, opening YouTube.
It has become a habit of his to do this in the evening, no matter how tired and exhausted he was, he would look up either videos of their own channel or some fanmade content and scroll through the comments. 

He knew it wasn't the best idea as a lot of people tend to be fairly mean on the internet because they can stay anonymous behind fake names, but there was an overwhelming amount of nice comments to be found there as well.
Most of the time he tried to concentrate on the positive or at least constructively criticizing comments, but today was no such day.

He was already constantly making mistakes during practice, causing the choreographer to call him out several times, nagging about is lacking concentration. And being yelled at for hours and hours wasn't really good for your mentality.
Therefore it didn't even surprise him that he found more negative comments about him than usual.  Most of them were calling out his attitude and behaviour.

How can he act like that towards a hyung?

He's being such a brat haha

If I were his hyungs I would teach him a lesson or two back in the dorm lmao

Sure, those comments were mostly meant jokingly, but it still got to him. Because they are right. He sometimes wondered why he hasn't been beaten up by the others yet for his bad behaviour.
Often he was being a brat, talking back to the others even though they were older than him. Sure, he could use the excuse that he had always been the older sibling in his family, but thought that was a rather weak excuse.

With a sigh he locked his phone and just stared at the wall in front of him, waiting to be able to shower so he could get his thoughts to something else other than his bad behaviour that everyone always comments on.


"Sunwoo, the shower is free" Haknyeon called out to the younger to which he replied with an 'ok' before getting up, collecting his stuff and going to the bathroom.
He didn't take too long in the shower, knowing Eric still had to shower as well, but he savoured the feeling of having no thoughts for once, even if it won't be like that for long.

It's been two weeks and all the members noticed that Sunwoo changed somehow. He just wasn't his usual self. The only person he didn't change too much with was Eric, which relieved the boys to some extend even if it wasn't much.

He was training way harder, which wasn't a necessarily bad thing, but he was more tense and nervous, afraid to mess something up. He also often skipped meals in the evening, causing him to drop weight rather quickly. He stopped asking for help or anything of that sort, so even when he was brought to a doctor because he almost fainted due to his rapid weight-loss, he went alone, not even asking anyone to accompany him.
Other than that his behaviour changed as well, he minimized any sort of skinship with the others (much to the disliking of Chanhee), he didn't talk back at all (if he even spoke at this point) and he would always obey to whatever the older boys told him to.
Noticing this rather quick they wanted to test how far it would actually go and honestly, they were pretty surprised when they asked him to get ice cream for the members after training at about 2 am and he just agreed to it without a word, getting changed and going out to the next store that was still open.

"Why is he being this weird all of a sudden? It's actually scary" Changmin commented when the red-haired boy left the dorm.
"You're right, something is off..." Sangyeon agreed with a sigh. "Did he talk about it with you, Eric? You're the only one he's not completely awkward with" he then asked the younger, but he only shook his head in denial.
