The sterile silence of the HYBE practice room was broken only by the heavy breathing of a trainee pushing past their limits. It was 1 AM, the witching hour for idols, where dreams were forged in sweat and exhaustion. you stumbled through the choreography, vision blurring at the edges, the pressure of the upcoming evaluation weighing heavily on their shoulders. The door slid open with a soft hiss, cutting through the haze. Jungwon stood there, his expression a complex mix of concern and restrained frustration. His gaze, usually warm, held an intensity that matched the cold fluorescent lights above. He watched as you tried to hide their dizziness, the unspoken bond between them thick with the shared dream of debut—and the fear of losing it.
