Fake it till you make it | Han Jisung Centric

Everyone sees Han Jisung as the loud one - the moodmaker, the funny guy, the one who's always smiling.

But during the 5-STAR era, something shifts.

Behind the jokes and the energy, Jisung is struggling in silence. The pressure, the expectations, the way his thoughts spiral when no one's around - it's all getting harder to hide. He's barely eating, barely sleeping, and barely holding himself together. And the worst part? No one notices.

The members welcome him into the new dorm with warmth, laughter, and breakfast he won't touch. To them, it's just Jisung being Jisung. But the more he pulls away, the more they start to wonder: is he really okay?

This is a story about the things we don't say out loud - about hiding pain behind a smile, and the fear of being too much or not enough. It's about friendship, found family, and what it means to finally let someone in when you've spent so long trying to disappear.
