Jieun doesn't seem to be stressed on the outside, but she definitely is stressed and pressured on the inside. Being able to debut gave Jieun a mixture of both excitement and nervousness as she wanted be able to perform infront of people perfectly.
Everyday, she'd stay in the practice room, either dancing or practicing her vocals and raps. Then she'd start to work out and skip meals as she wanted to have the perfect body when she debuts with the boys. No one noticed it at first since all of them were really busy for preparing, but now that they were suggested by the company to rest before their debut, all of them realized what Jieun had been doing.
Jieun looked like a stick and a panda. Not a great combination but— her body became really thin and frail and her face looked like she was a zombie because of how dark her eyebags are. The boys didn't notice that at first but now that they did, they did all their might to let her stay in the dorm and atleast have a meal or two with them.
"Jieun! Where are you going?" Namjoon asked.
"Just.. buying something." Jieun lied, refusing to look at the leader's eyes.
Namjoon tsked as he saw how terrible Jieun is when it comes to lying, "You're going to the practice room am I right?"
Jieun chewed the insides of her cheeks, "But I just want to make sure I still memorize the choreography."
"Jieun, it has been 2 days since you last practiced. You're smart, you still remember our choreography." Namjoon deadpanned.
"B-But my vocals, and raps!" Jieun tried to argue.
"Jieun-ah, you're doing really well. You don't have to worry much." Jin, who had just finished cooking and saw Jieun and Namjoon and eavesdropped on the conversation.
"B-But Hyung..." Jieun tried to stand on her ground, but..
"Jieun, you're doing really well. You might've think you're not doing enough, but you did your best and prepared really well. You'll do really well on our debut. You have nothing to worry about." Namjoon spoke.
"You need to get in some fats in your body as well, you look like a zombie." Jin tsked.
"Well, no shit hyungs." Jieun joked.
"Actually, you need to worry about one thing." Namjoon sighed, " Please don't curse too much on-cam."
Jin, Namjoon and Jieun laughed at that.
