Our Little Leader (ATEEZ littlespace)

What to do, what to do?

Chaos.

That was the only way to describe what was happening.

The moment Hongjoongs body hit the ground with a thud, everyone started rushing around like headless chickens.

At least, that's what it looked like to Yeosang.

Yum...chicken.

No, focus. Hyung just passed out. Hyung. Passed out. Oh shit.

The facts just processing in his mind at that point. He glanced around to find the younger members of the group looking at their hyung in shock. Right. He just passed out.

Wait...did he say he ran? As in all the way here?

Yeosang quickly glanced at their eldest hyung as he rushed over to the fallen boy.

"Hyung, he said he ran. Ran all the way here. What do we do?"

Yes. He was panicking. They had a comeback stage in an hour. What are they gonna do?

"I know Sangie. Manager-nim, he can't perform this way,"

"Wait. Hyung still has to go out?" San asked, astonished.

"We can't cancel now boys. He needs to wake up. God, where are they?" He sighed, glancing to the door. Their manager had Hongjoongs head on his lap and he grabbed a battery-powered fan to cool the boy down. He was also worried. This is a comeback that can't go wrong. Yes, he had noticed Hongjoong looking a little worse for wear recently, but due to the comeback being so close, he couldn't do anything about it. There's not much he can do, to be honest. The kid's stubborn.

"Well perhaps if he had actually taken care of himself, we wouldn't be in this situation," Wooyoung snarkily spat. He was frustrated as well. The frustration seemed to outweigh the concern.

Mingi hummed in agreement. Because he was right.

Before Yeosang could say anything to correct them, one of the staff members walked in with cooling packs and water. She was medically trained.

Thank God.

Finally.

"It's okay guys. Just give me some space," She stated.

The boys moved back and watched in anticipation as she began to work. Hands moving so fast they couldn't keep up.

"Boys, just continue stretching. He's fine," Their manager mumbled.

And he was right. Hongjoong began to stir.

"W-what? Huh?"

"Hey Joong-ah, you just had a fall. You're okay though. Don't worry,"

Yeosang had to bite his tongue at this.

Stop lying! He's not okay. He needs help.

But he continued stretching nonetheless.

------------

Hongjoong couldn't focus. Everything was moving fast. Too fast.

It made him nauseous.

Getting up on the stage after passing out probably wasn't the best idea.

Especially since performances like this required them to perform multiple times until the directors were happy.

Fuck you.

Yes, he was bitter.

But he was tired and still hadn't said much to the members.

They left me. Alone.

He was beginning to blame them for what happened. However, he thought blaming others for his stupid mistakes was equally as stupid.

It's my fault. I'm stupid. A stupid baby that can't do anything for himself.

He wanted to scream. 6 performances in and little Joongie was breaking free. What to do, what to do? The others couldn't see him like this. Especially with all the staff around. How embarrassing. He didn't want that to happen. Never.

His little side was for him and him only.

"AND CUT. WELL DONE BOYS!" the room is full of cheers as they finish.

The members rush into the waiting room in high spirits. Finally, they can go home.

Hongjoong stomped his way to the toilet. Wanting to get away from everyone.

Too noisy

He whimpered as he crouched down in a cubical. Trembling hands covered his face as hot tears started to pour down his face.

"Joongie wan' go home," He whispered to no one. Completely submerged in his littlespace. He was no longer strong enough to hold it back. So he just let it come.

A slow trickle of tears turned into sobs as he cried and cried. It was too much for little Joongie to handle.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opened. Slow footsteps made their way towards him as he shoved his hand over his mouth to stop the sounds coming out.

------------------

Poor baby.

Who do you think found him?

Joongies little side is now revealed. I cant wait to explore the cuteness that is about to come!

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it!
