Laying outstretched on the floor of the dance practice room like a starfish, Hoseok looked at the clock fixed on the wall at his right.
1:41 AM
He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, trying to ease the tension away but no avail. A long, tired sigh left his lips.
Hoseok had been trying to come up with some new dance steps for his group's upcoming comeback. He wasn't the dance choreographer of the group but as the main dancer, he wanted to contribute some of his steps for their title track too.
His muscles were aching from the relentless dance he was doing for the past 3 hours and mind begging at him to stop and just go to sleep but Hoseok knew couldn't stop right now. Not when everything was so close.
He sat up and downed down the whole bottle of cool sparkly water placed beside him, legs still outstretched in front of him.
1:49 AM
Hoseok stood up and walked over to the table placed in the corner of the room where all of his belongings were placed. He grabbed his phone and sat down on a nearby chair. A pile of clean towels was placed on the chair beside him and he grabbed the top most one to wipe off the beads of sweat that had made their way on his forehead.
Upon unlocking his phone, he was immediately greeted by the notification of his manager's message notifying him that he was scheduled to meet with his stylists in the morning at 7:15 am so they could take his measurement for the clothing he needed to wear during the promotion of their new album.
A sigh made its way through his lips again while he replied back with a short 'ok' to the manager. This meant that tonight too he won't be getting more than 3 hours of sleep.
Hoseok then open the twitter app and scrolled through the comments of the post he tweeted an hour ago. At first, Hoseok was a bit hesitant about posting the picture as he always wanted to show a polished and a positive side to his to their fans but a few weeks ago Namjoon posted a picture of himself in his studio at 4am with tired eyes, and their group's team leader gave him all the motivation he needed to post his picture too.
The picture though, that Hoseok posted wasn't a selca like Namjoon but it was a picture of the blisters he had gotten on his feet while practicing. He also happened to noticed that the number of comments on this particular post of his had more comments than he usually got on his posts.
Not knowing if he should expect something good or bad, he clicked on the comments and started reading through them.
Hobi please don't overwork. Take rest and take it easy
Hoseok-ah :( please take of yourself
We love you baby
Eat well, drink well, sleep well. We would love to see you healthy this comeback!
Despite the pain and tiredness he was feeling, a smile graced his features and all of the pain he went through suddenly felt worth it.
He stood up from the chair, grabbed all his belonging from the table as he got ready to leave the building and head towards home.
The smile still present on his lips as Hoseok thought that if he had never read the comments of his fans under his post he would've never left the practice room and would've stayed up the whole night, practicing.
2:03 AM
He sent a silent prayer of thank you to the fans whose messages he read and left the building. Army's were his hope and he hoped that he was their hope too.
