Summary
Producing, performing, singing, rapping, dancing, winning—
It's all a cycle, Chan knows. It’s rewarding but hard. Such a hard fucking life.
He’s built Stray Kids from the ground up and loves everything they’ve created together as a group, but the repercussions of the type of life they’re living are always there in the backs of their minds. Always. The pressure is exhausting, spine-breaking, but all of them love what they do - they're addicts to the thrumming of bass and the drag of shoes across polished floors.
Chan can’t remember a time when he wasn’t bending to the needs of others. It’s painful to want to be selfish but sometimes he wishes everything would be still so he could have a moment of serenity to breathe. There’s so much floating around in his head that sometimes he can’t piece together any coherent thoughts and struggles to be a successful leader and friend.
But there’s moments, every once in a while, where Chan can take a breath, when they can all take a breath. And it’s enough. Enough for now.

Summary
And there is Minho.
Minho isn’t the light at the end of the tunnel, he isn’t a prince from a fairytale that will sweep Jisung from the dark. No, Minho’s eyes often lack the flicker of life that most others have. He sometimes keeps to himself, phone clenched in his hands with earbuds in, though Jisung knows it's a ruse.
The easy deceit of pretending to play music when the static of white noise drowns the world out. Jisung knows, because he does the same.
He is the same.

Summary
What is the purpose of an hourglass? Does it reflect the count of a lifespan? The measure of patience? Or perhaps is it designed to be a timer of the seconds before what is good crumbles; a cruel countdown to the lonely point of despair. And when all the sand has filtered through, then it’s time to ask, who do you have left to hold?
