🖤💖Stressed- Renhyuck +Mark

Renjun was having a bit of a rough time lately. He wasn't sure why, but he'd been not feeling the best the past few weeks. It was tolerable at first but now he couldn't sleep or eat without his body rejecting him. Dream's newest comeback was really intense for him. He had a solo song on the album and had to run around doing a lot of promotional videos along with daily practice, recording, and exercise.

They were two weeks away from the album release and renjun was really struggling. They were at dance practice and renjun was running on a total of five hours of sleep that whole week. They were running though the dance and renjun continuously slipped and messed up the timing on the dance which ended up throwing Jaemin and Jeno off as well.

Mark was getting frustrated. He pinched the bridge of his nose and stopped the music turning to renjun with a frustrated sigh.

"Renjun-ah, you are really messing up this practice. Why can't you get the timing right? Have you been practicing Jun-ah?"

Renjun looked to mark feeling guilty. He bowed his head apologetically.

"I'm sorry hyung, I'll do better I promise."

Mark sighed again looking at renjun noticing how exhausted he looked which made him feel slightly guilty for being so crass.

"Okay, just try to keep up, okay?"

"Yes hyung."

They continued the practice renjun still slipping up a few times.

By the end of practice mark was still very frustrated. Considering the comeback was so close he didn't want to risk anything going wrong. He walked up to renjun and pulled him into the hall privately.

"Listen renjun-ah, getting this choreo perfect is extremely important you understand? The company has big expectations of us and especially for you and your first solo debut. Please work harder renjun-ah, don't mess his up from being unprepared, okay?"

Renjun nodded looking at his feet sadly.

Mark sighed placing his hand on renjun's shoulder.

"Why don't you stay back for an hour and work on your part okay?"

"Yes hyung... I'm sorry."

With that, mark left with the others leaving renjun to practice alone.

Renjun had been there for two and a half hours and seemed to not be improving at all. His body ached and fatigue cloaked his brain as he got dizzy. He stood against the wall steading himself until the dizzy spell passed.

He stared at himself in the mirror feeling immense disappointment in himself. He made his leader angry and disappointed, and he slowed all his members down. He felt absolutely awful and as he stood there, he didn't even realize that tears had started to flow down his face but once they started, he couldn't stop.\his body was begging for him to release his stress. He was tired and sad and frustrated and all he wanted was to curl up in a ball and cry.

He wrapped his arms around himself as he stood against the wall gripping at the fabric of his shirt tightly his knuckles turning white. He sobbed miserably but was desperately trying to stop.

Suddenly, he felt arms around him. He didn't know who it was, but he found comfort in the embrace. He let himself fall into the other's chest feeling a hand run through his hair.

"Let it all out renjunnie, it's okay, I'm here."

Renjun instantly recognized the voice as Haechan's. he buried his face in his shoulder and felt his tears still slipping out of his eyes even though he wished they'd stop. He brought his hand up to cover his mouth trying to muffle his sobs but haechan reached up and removed it.
