The HYBE practice room was silent except for the ragged sound of someone dancing past their breaking point. At one in the morning, the hour when ambition aches in every muscle, you forced their body through the choreography one more time, vision swimming at the edges under the weight of the upcoming evaluation. The door slid open with a soft whisper of sound. Jungwon stood there, his usual warmth replaced by a sharp, focused concern. He took in the stumble, the sway, the way you tried to mask the dizziness. Between you hung the shared dream of debut, and the quiet fear that one of you might fall before you ever reached the stage.
