the later it gets on into the evening, the more exhausted woohyun becomes. it’s only natural, the heat-- the rain, the energy put in the performance after performance is only natural to weigh down on him. it’s the same for everyone-- and woohyun knows that there are some injuries lingering about. worry colors him transparent, leaves him feeling fearful for his fellow teammates. teeth dig into his lip as his chest heaves, breath after breath after he rests for a moment. there are fewer people around the later it becomes, but there’s still enough that reminds woohyun of what he should be doing-- and he pushes himself to stand, all creaky bones and joints that have him briefly wincing.
he maneuvers his way to the tent to gather up as many water bottles he can, pausing on the way to observe another trainee. the face is familiar, and woohyun hesitates-- because as nice as he wants to be, as helpful as he wants to be, sungho still intimidates him with his disdain for woohyun’s kindness. it leaves his throat feeling tight as his feet shuffle from his position, before he pushes his aside his hesitation, a small smile on his face as he makes his way closer. “hey,” he starts off quietly, shifting in place. “are you...doing okay?” he glances at the other, before averting his gaze awkwardly, shifting in place. “you’re still holdin’ on right? you need water or some food on your stomach before the next performance starts? i’ll...go grab you something?”
