------

Wooyoung's POV :

Today we are going to start recording for our upcoming album in July and I am so excited for it since after we finish we will start learning a new choreography , which is my favorite part of the whole thing . 

I ran to San's room to wake him up , since he seems to enjoy sleeping in these last days , i opened the door without knocking or anything but he wasn't there , so i went to check the bathroom of his room and i heard the water stop running so i opened the door which made him let a scream of surprise 

" w-woo ? what are you doing h-here ? " he asked me trying to cover his body with a towel but failing since the embarrassment got the best of him ... it wasn't the first time I see him naked since i always prank him while he showers because he always lets his guards down then . 

i walked toward him and took the towel from his hand and wrapped it around his face , then took another towel and started drying his hair . For some reason , I feel like san is hiding something from me , how bad can it be ? did he commit a crime without my help ? or ... DID HE EAT MY EMERGENCY SNACK THAT ONLY HIM AND I KNOW WHERE IT IS ? 

" what are you up to sannie ? " i asked him 

" w-what ? " he asked me confused 

i went to face him and got closer to his face , now noticing the light shade of pink in his cheek 

" what are you hiding from me san ? " i asked him 

San's POV : 

My heart dropped to my stomach when he asked me that , but i still need to keep my cool so as not to make him suspicious 

" nothing wooyoung . why are you asking that all of a sudden ? " i said 

" i don't know , you seem a bit distant from me and the guys these days and you seem , i don't know , different ? " he told me leaning back on the counter , i really need to watch every act and word around the guy , i can't get caught 

" there's woo , don't worry " i said" and now , can you leave so i can get dressed please " 

" if you say so " he started to walk away but suddenly stopped and looking back at me " plus , have honey tea or milk , your voice sounds hilariously high " he then left closing the door . 

i let a sigh out and sat on the closed toilet , i don't like lying to the members especially wooyoung , he is my best friend and i really can't lose him , i looked at the duck toy that i managed to hide in the last second before he notices it . The thing is that i am a little and i am really scared to tell anyone of the group even my best friend about it , what  if they will be disgusted or disappointed ? what would i do then ? it will be too late to take my words back , it will be harder than hiding it anyways . 

i sighed again and got ready to leave before hongjoong hyung starts losing his patience already . 

When we arrived to the studio , hongjoong hyung went to get his laptop and the other things like microphones ready , meanwhile we started warming up our voices . As i was singing a Shawn Mendes' song i remembered what wooyoung told me earlier , my voice sounds is too high , how can i sing my part ? Dark thought started clouding my mind , as i felt it trigger my little side , i tried shaking all these thoughts and whispers off but it was useless . My heart skipped a beat when hongjoong called for jongho to go to the recording room 

" sannie you are next " he said turning his chair to look at me smiling  

hongjoong hyung is a good person and a great leader , but he loses his patience easily and it's understandable since he works hard on writing lyrics and producing music for long days and nights , and me ... i can't even sing in a good voice for seconds . i tried to read my lines and get a hold of myself but everything fell apart when my name was called out 

' jongho got everything settled and right in just few minutes '

'do you think you are gonna be like him ?' 

'never , you can't do such a thing , you are useless '

'you don't deserve to be with them '

' you are just a burden and everyone will hate you '

'if not now later '

those thought kept repeating in my head and i can fill the tears burning in my eyes 

" ready san ? whenever you get my sign , and here we go " 

the music started and i tried to focus to not loose track of hyung's sign but i felt weak and hopeless , i don't want to get scolded , and that was it , i slipped without even trying or wanting to , i lifted my head shaking and looked at wooyoung with teary sad eyes and he immediately got up from his seat 

" hongjoong hyung stop the music ! " he said and the leader did so looking confused at wooyoung who started talking to me through the microphone 

" hey baby calm down ? okay ? take your headphones for me , i am coming to you alright ? " he said with a steady calm voice , he even called me baby ... no he can't know , not wooyoung , tears started to run down my face overwhelmed with everything , seconds and wooyoung entered the room , and i started sobbing loudly and fell on my knees , he immediately knelt in front of me and pulled me to his embrace 

" shh sannie baby , it's alright " he rocked us back and forth and i continued sobbing for about 10 minutes before eventually calming down 

" good boy sannie " he whispered kissing my hairline 

" you know ..." i said still in his arms , my head on his chest and i can feel the vibrations of his chuckles 

" did you think i wouldn't know ? i know everything about you san , from why you love collecting plushies to the duckie you tried to hide in the bathroom earlier " he said looking down at me and wiping the tears in my cheeks 

" everything alright there ? are you fine sannie baby ? " hongjoong hyung asked through the microphone , the sudden voice startling me, so without being aware , i clung to wooyoung's shirt , i felt a blush come across my face , but i nodded 

" yes hyung , i will explain everything to you later guys " he told the worried members who were starring at us , my grip tightened and my muscles tensed up 

" nah ah sannie , relax baby , hongjoong hyung knows and you don't need to worry about it okay ?" i looked at my hyung who smiled warmly at me before waving at me 

" wanna go home sweetheart ? " wooyoung asked me standing up and helping me , i nodded and he smiled , he held his hand out for me , and i looked at him and he nodded so i held it and we went back to the dorm . 

Once inside , wooyoung turned to me and picked me up taking me to his room . he sat down so his back was leaning on the wall behind the bed and made me lay down on top of him , he ran his hand up and down my back making me feel sleepy , he then caressed my hair till i went to dreamland , the last thing i felt was a kiss on my forehead and i think i heard a ' I love you baby' 

Maybe telling them was easier than hiding it 

Wooyoung's POV : 

I looked down at the boy who was sleeping so peacefully and smiled happy now knowing that he doesn't need to go through that alone , i kissed his head again and sent messages to the guys telling them about san's little space then i put the phone down when i felt san's move , i wrapped my arms around him and he went back to sleep 

' adorable '
