Jisungie; Stray Kids One-Shots

Tired - Jilix

[AN]

These first few one-shots aren't my best work as I was still getting used to the formatting and shorter stories of one-shots but they progressively get better :)

This will probably be the only time an author's note is at the beginning of the chapter, otherwise they will just be at the end.

A small description of what each chapter is about will be at the beginning and there will also be a warning listed should there be possibly triggering content

Enjoy! :)

 Jisung is tired, overwhelmed, and can't sleep. Felix is more than happy to be the boy's comfort

*Crying and slight panic attack*

Jisung's room was near pitch black as he blearily blinked his burning eyes, trying to make sense of his surroundings. The only source of light was a silver sliver of moonlight filtering in through the small crack in the curtains drawn tight over the window, casting a thin strip across the carpeted floor. Across the way, Jeongin was out cold, muttering softly as he dreamt on.

Jisung envied him.

Reaching over to his bedside table, Jisung plucked his phone from where it was charging and turned it on. After blinking a few more times, trying to clear his blurry vision, the brunette was finally able to make out the digital numbers displayed on the screen.

3:43 am.

That was progress.

Only 3 hours and 17 minutes earlier than when his alarm was set to go off. A considerable improvement from the usual 4 hours and 15 minutes of restless tossing and turning before his alarm ultimately roused him from his hazy, sleepless daze.

Nevertheless, Jisung shut his eyes and rolled onto his back, frustratingly rubbing his lids with the bottom of his palms. He barely refrained from letting out an annoyed groan but held back for Jeongin's sake.

This was the second consecutive week that Jisung had woken up far beyond an acceptable time with an inability to fall back asleep. It always resulted in him staring blankly at the ceiling of his shared dorm room until Chan ventured in on his rounds in the morning, making sure every member of Stray Kids was up and moving, ready for their long daily schedules.

It had been incredibly difficult for the young producer. His inability to get in more than an hour or two every night gave way to a lack of focus and general exhaustion that left him drifting off at the most inconvenient times; before interviews, shows, and performances. Once he'd even drifted off standing up right during a pre-recording take for one of their music show performances.

Now it was safe to say the members had noticed and were worried, but there wasn't much Jisung saw they could do. Seeing as he had tried all the basic remedies google had to offer; warm milk, chamomile tea, reading, exercise, and over-the-counter medicines, there wasn't much else Jisung could attempt save for going to see a real doctor for insomnia and with their upcoming comeback and ever growing schedules, there was no time for that. So, the young brunette waved off their concerns, continuing to push his body to the limits, even as it grew harder and harder to maintain basic functionality.

There was one member, however, who pushed more than the others.

Jisung's sunshine twin, Felix.
