A Cup Above Mars [Seongjoong]

Seonghwa knew how to form the words and the idea how to say it. He could imagine himself saying coherent sentences like his friends and being able to talk to people with ease. But instead as he opened his mouth it felt like there was cotton in his brain and he had to push them out to say a simple word or two.

In other words, Seonghwa has Broca's aphasia, a speech disorder in which the person is generally able to process language and formulate sentences but is unable to say it without struggle. It's as if the connections from the brain to the muscles for language has a cut wire.

Hongjoong is a workaholic who is slowly losing traction in his work.

The other 6 members can only watch as two worlds, who thought were separate, collide.
