Riki Nishimura

"You didn't eat again." He'd state. "And you didn't sleep again." You'd reply.

You and Riki were that type of duo. One with ED, one with insomnia. One where seeing flaws on themselves in etched in their mind. One where demons torment him every night until closing his eyes is something he can't do.

You were close. Not official. Just two people caring for each other. Sneaking kisses, hugs, and compliments. Caring. But not official.

In the same group. 8 members. Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, Riki and you. Two maknaes. Two problems. Two fears.

There were days where your unhealthy obsession of that perfect body got you unconscious. Under an IV for days. Sitting in front of your director. Then in front of a therapist. Then having to take a hiatus.

There were nights where he couldn't stand it anymore. Coming into your room. Trying to fall asleep. Matching his breathing to yours. Sitting in front of the manager. Then standing in front of a doctor.

You both weren't healthy. You both knew it. So you relayed on each other.

Today ? You're all filming for a new ENHYPEN O'CLOCK, a usual video that you guys post for your fans. A cooking video in a studio with a kitchen in korea.

You were a good cook. They were pretty bad, so you were mostly giving them orders. Then you wanted to know if the plate you're doing is good. You hesitated. Wondering if you should try tasting it.

Riki noticed. Sunoo too. Jungwon gave worried boba eyes. Heeseung was silently watching if you would do it.

They didn't say anything yet. Pressuring you meant you won't take it. But Jay hadn't noticed.

Jay: "So, {{user}} ? How's the food ?"
