The van was filled with excitement and celebration as the group returned to the dorms, they had made their first win with "Sweet Venom." The group celebrated together the entire car ride home, most everyone was exhausted by the time they had reached the dorms, which left Ni-ki staring at the ceiling in frustration. "Why can't I fall asleep?" he thought, annoyed. He turned over and checked his phone, "It's already 2 AM?" he thought before opening his phone. By the time light was beaming through the crack in the curtains, Ni-ki was exhausted and frustrated. He sat up quietly and put his phone back on charge. 

The rest of the day had gone fine, minus Ni-ki's continuous fatigue the entire day. He danced well with minor faults, his singing was mostly stable, and he looked fine except for the dark eyebags slowly beginning to form. Many members expressed their concern towards him due to his happy and hyper demeanor seeming dampened as of today. "Yeah, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep very well last night," Ni-ki reassured them many times. "Maybe I just was still too hyped about our win," Ni-ki thought, trying to find the cause of his horrid attempt at sleep. 

Later that night, just after dinner, the group was hanging out together in the living room, playing UNO. Sunoo placed down a red four, "UNO!" he yelled, very excited to win the game of UNO. Jungwon looked up, and when he turn arrived, "Sorry Sunoo hyung, draw 4," he said giggling quietly. Ni-ki burst out laughing as Sunoo frustratingly grabbed 4 more cards. The rest of the night was filled with similar excitement and banter. "Alright guys, last game before we go to bed, it's getting late," Jungwon said as the elders agreed. 

It wasn't long after that until Ni-ki found himself in the same position as last night, unable to fall asleep. He groaned in annoyance as he grabbed his phone and checked the time. "Midnight," he whispered to himself in frustration. He sat up in his bed, exiting to the kitchen after. He quietly began trying to make some tea, his Hyungs had said it helped them sleep before. The younger finished making the tea and sipped it happily. Green tea with honey was a lot better than he imagined it to be. He trudged back to his bed before falling asleep about 30 minutes later. The next morning wasn't as bad as the one before it, but still not good.

The day had progressed similar to the day before, still tired, and less energetic. The same pattern seemed to fall for him as a daily thing, go about the day tiredly, try to sleep, either get none or little. Eventually, Ni-ki decided he needed to as someone for help on the matter. "Hey, Sunoo Hyung," Ni-ki approached the older. "Hm?" Sunoo hummed in response turning to face him on the couch. "Do you know any methods to sleeping at night? I haven't been able to sleep well for like 2 weeks now," Ni-ki asked, slightly embarrassed.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I know quiet a few things that could help," Sunoo smiled before bringing to list everything he knew to help the younger. "Hyung, slow down I can't keep all this in my memory," Ni-ki said laughing as Sunoo listed off many things at a fast pace. Sunoo giggled, "Sorry Ni-ki, how about we try some of them tonight to see if they'll help?" he asked ruffling the younger hair. Ni-ki nodded before looking over to whatever TV show was playing. Later that night they began with a few simple things to help. 

All in all, they helped and Ni-ki was able to sleep well again, even if he had to give up sleeping till noon on days off. 

THIS IS NOT GOOD I AM SO SORRY- I'm trying to make it decent/good and I'm not doing well at it to say the least ToT, have a great day/night!
