NCT's Baby Boy| 24th member ~ Lai Yu-han

Stressed Out

{The 127 members have begin to noticed that something was up with Yu-Yu the boy seemed stressed. Yu-Yu is stressed from school, Dream, 127, U, and WayV}

Third Person Perspective~

The 127 members just finished their practice for SuperHuman, and were all relaxing in the practice room. The members were all busy doing their own things, when they looked up and realized that their youngest member was still practicing.

They could see the younger zoning out while doing the choreography. The boys then realized that the younger was going over three different choreographies. If anybody could understand what the younger was going through it would most likely be Mark, Taeyong, or Haechan.

The other members kept a close eye on their Maknae as he kept dancing. They all went back to doing. Whatever they were doing before. Yu-Yu stopped the music and went over and took a sip of water. He sat down and pulled out his school assignments.

He started working on his school assignments, as he tried to figure out what he was scheduled to do later on in the week. Yu-Han swiftly closed his binder, and stared at the mirrors in the practice room. He said to himself, "Who in the world needs to know what x to the third angle is?"

The boy didn't realize that he was stressing himself out the more he thought about everything. He kept thinking about the upcoming comebacks and assignments nearing.

Taeil's Perspective~

I turned off my phone and walked over to Yu-Yu. I could tell something was bothering him. I snapped my fingers infront of his face. "Yu-Yu, what's on your mind?" He replied, "Nothing really, hyung." I could tell that he wasn't telling the truth.

"Tell me the truth, baby" He replied hesitantly, "I'm just a little stressed out with everything." I tried to understand what he was feeling. "I may not know how you really feel, but hyung is always here for you." He nodded his head. He asked, "Have you ever felt like you couldn't please everyone?"

I replied, "I sometimes feel like I'm not good enough, but then there's people out there who show their support towards me." "Ah!" "Hyung, I'm gonna go practice the other choreographies, but thank you for talking to me."

Yu-Yu's Perspective~

After, I talked to Taeil I went back to practicing the choreography that I learned last night. I went over the dance for Boom, and I messed up on the eight count. I got frustrated because I kept mixing up the choreography from Take Off and Boom.

I tried to remember which dance choreographies go with which. Then, I remembered that I had a deadline for a song that I'm supposed to be working on. I shut down for a second. I left the practice room and went to the restroom. I washed my face and tried to slow my mind down.

Before, I left the restroom Haechan was waiting right outside. Haechan announced, "Yu-Yu tell me what's wrong baby." I tried to explain, "Hyung it's really not a big deal. I'm just a little stressed and tired. See it's not a really big deal."

Haechan said, "Yu-Yu it's okay to admit that you're exhausted and stressed. If you're stressed and tired you need to tell me or one of the other hyungs. I don't want you to get sick from overworking yourself." I agreed, "I won't overwork myself.
Don't worry!"

Haechan's Perspective~

After my talk with Yu-Yu, I knew he wouldn't tell any of us if he's exhausted or stressed. Therefore, I need to inform the others before something happens. I ran back to the practice room and grabbed my hyungs attention. Jaehyun and Johnny looked at me, "What's wrong?" I explained briefly, "I think Yu-Yu is overworking himself. I talked to him earlier and he seemed very stressed and tired."

Mark gave me that knowing look that I know way too well. Mark went through the same thing for the longest time, but the stress and exhaustion have lowered slightly for him. Doyoung mentioned, "This reminds me so much of when Mark was going through that stressful time."

The others agreed with him especially Yuta and Jungwoo.

127's Perspectives~

Jungwoo suggested, "We need to all come up with something, because I can tell that if we don't step in now something's going to happen. I don't want him to overwork and hurt himself." We all agreed with Jungwoo.

Doyoung said, "We could all have like a family talk with him. What do you guys think?" We all said in unison, "That sounds like a great idea."

We all waited for Yu-Han to finish dancing, and then he came over towards us. He grabbed a banana milk and sat down next to us. Taeyong announced, "We need to talk to you, Yu-Yu." He agreed and casted his attention towards us.

He asked, "What's up?" Jaehyun asked softly, "On a scale of 1 to 10 how stressed are you?" He replied, "To he honest a six." Jaehyun could read right through the boy. "When you say six you actually mean a 6 to 8."  Mark curiously asked, "Have you been mixing up choreographies and school work?"

Yu-Yu looked shook at what Mark had asked him. He answered Mark, "It feels like you have to meet everyone's expectations, and if you don't then they look down on you. You try so hard to make them happy, but you slowly feel the weight being put onto your shoulders. It's a really strange feeling."

Johnny made a conclusion, "Yu-Yu, I know you don't want to admit this, but you're on the brick of overworking yourself. You're so stressed and exhausted that you can't even realize how overworked you are.

When we get back to the dorm, I want you to eat dinner and then go to sleep. Don't think about anything for tonight."

After much convincing, Yu-Yu agreed to rest and to go to bed early.  Once the members arrived back at the dorm, Yu-Yu followed Johnny's instructions. The young idol ate some soup and went and freshened up.

Then, Johnny read him a bed time story. The boy fell asleep without thinking about the stressful schedules he had. Goodnight
