minho's practically vibrating with excitement.

with promotions out of the way, he's had opportunities to make time for things-- like visiting his family, seeing his baby, and having quality time with some of his members after the busy period of last month. today, he's happy to spend it with hongjoong, doing something that he knows will be great for the both of them-- going to a cat cafe.

the idea of it makes him miss his own cat even more, but he knows it won't be as bad once he's got his eyes on the little feline friends within the cafe. hongjoong's great company for it too, something they were going to do prior to promotions, but ended up with minho feeling too tired and exhausted from preparation to stick to the plan.

they've just gotten back from the broadcast station, and they're in the process of relaxing and resting before getting to sleep and ready for the next day. minho's fiddling in the fridge, trying to busy himself before his turn to shower-- frowning when he notes the slowly declining state of their fridge. he pats his stomach idly, and glances around. he knows their manager has already left to go get his own rest, and he doesn't want to bother anyone who's already gearing up for bed, but minho wants to head out to the convenience store down the road.

promoting this time around feels even more draining. it was draining before, when they debuted-- but maybe he was riding the high of a debut, and hadn't really noticed. this time around, minho's exhausted, and he catches up on sleep as much as he can. he sleeps whenever he can between music show rehearsals and schedules, he rushes eating his food and goes to nap it off in the brief moments they have. maybe it'll feel easier to manage later in the month when he's back in the groove of things-- but for now, he's going to take every opportune moment to fill it up with priceless sleep.

his dorm room has become a bit of a safety net, as minho tends to lock himself up in the time they're home, not able to stomach much else other than sleeping and...just lying there. as the weeks and days pass, his mood has become apparent, and he himself can't help but feel like a ticking timebomb some days. today is a similar one, so once he's tucked into his bed, curtain pulled to cover his bed with privacy, he doesn't feel quite as ready to explode.

though after lying in the room for a while, dozing in and out of sleep as his roommates go about, he hears a knock on the door. stiffening, he frowns, staring at the curtain covering his view of the door. he can't make out anything past the dark fabric, but he can hear the shuffling of either jihoon or jaehyun. minho doesn't move, barely even breathes as the door is answered. it's confirmed to be jaehyun answering when minho makes out his voice, but he resists the urge to flinch when he hears the muffled minho's not here right now.

minho's exhausted when he gets back to the dorm, way late into the night when he should have been asleep and resting before they have to get up and return in the morning. his limbs ache from all the extra practice he's been pushing in-- and his stomach grumbles weakly. he hasn't eaten at all since breakfast, skipping both lunch and dinner due to his lack of an appetite. but he's tired, too tired to even consider making something to eat, so minho is all for washing up and collapsing into his bed. he'll eat in the morning, he tells himself.

the feeling in the passing weeks of june make him feel uncomfortably vulnerable. his mood has downright plummeted, and he knows it’s affecting how the other members have begun to respond to him. it makes him feel all the more worse about it, and all he wants to do is sleep and practice-- something to focus and something to avoid the mess of thoughts and worries going on in his head.

he hasn’t left the dorm much outside of going to royal, and definitely doesn’t feel like leaving his bed at all when he's home. tonight, he had crawled into the sheets after managing to bite down a couple bites of food to appease, and he hasn’t moved much since. 

his eyes are swollen. he’s stopped crying enough to snooze between, and he’s woken up by the sound of his shared bedroom door opening. the blankets feel heavy over his head, muffling everything after the door closing. he slows his breathing, briefly wondering if it’s already morning-- but he’s tensing as someone’s sliding into his bed, tucking close. minho’s hazy brain takes a second to think, and before he can really get a coherent thought together, he’s already tugging the blanket away from his face, sniffling as he squints at seonho’s familiar face.

“hey,” he whispers, or tries to. his voice comes out in a low, hoarse crack that he grimaces at. “wh...why are ya ‘ere?” it’s blunt, confusion twisted in his tone.
