Story plot: Jongho is struggling a lot to combine his finals for school and all the practice moments they've scheduled. One night, Jongho can't take it anymore and locks himself in his room crying. Mingi is worried since his boyfriend didn't come down for dinner. As he finally gets to his boyfriend, who's so stressed out and tired, Mingi comes up with a plan to make it easier and more fun for Jongho to combine everything. 

Jongho sighs as he's trying to focus on his finals. He only needs to pass three more and he'll finish school after that. He nailed the previous five finals he had, something he's very grateful for. It feels different this time. He can't focus and the words just keep spinning around in his mind. Meanwhile he's also trying to remember all the new choreographies they're learning for the comeback. It's just all too much right now.

The finals are coming closer, but Jongho doesn't remember much more than he did last week and it's frustrating. He works hard during practice because no matter how much energy it takes, it makes him happy and is a form of distraction to him.

I know I need to work hard for the last finals, I know it. If I pass those I'm finally done with having to combine school with practice and everything else. I just didn't think it would be this hard..

Jongho slams his book shut and throws it against the wall. "How am I suppose to remember all of this?!" He groans and lays down with his forehead on his desk. Eventually he gets up to grab his book and continues to study until he feels two strong hands rest on his shoulders. "How's it going babe?" "Not!" Jongho groans "I just can't remember all the stupid shit that's in these books." Mingi leans down and places a kiss on his boyfriends forehead. "Come, we're watching a movie together. Forcing yourself to stay here and study isn't going to solve the problem or make you suddenly remember it all. It's only going to get you more worked up and you'll be spending hours  studying without actually learning."

Jongho sighs, knowing his boyfriend is right. Staying here won't make him study any better. Actually he has given up about an hour already. "That sounds good" Jongho says as he closes his book and gets up feeling those two arms wrap around him. "We all need a break sometimes, you do too babe. I'm proud of you though. You're almost there and I'm sure you'll make it" Mingi says as he pulls his boyfriend closer, connecting their lips in a soft kiss. Mingi picks Jongho up from the ground causing him to laugh. "Let's go!" Mingi shouts and carries his boyfriend downstairs.

They drop down on the couch, Jongho cuddles in Mingis arms causing the other members to smile. "Finally you got him to take a break from all the studying?" Yunho asks and Mingi smiles "Yeah, we all need a break sometimes right."

The next day Jongho was feeling quite refreshed and ready to put his full focus on his finals. He's glad that Mingi forced him to watch a movie last night, it was a much needed break. Now he was back on track and ready to study.

As they day goes by, Jongho is feeling just as frustrated as he did yesterday before they went to watch a movie. He puts his hands in his hair and stares blankly at his textbook. This is too difficult. I'm never going to pass these finals like this. I can't remember a single thing. I've read the same page about 50 times by now but nothing makes sense. He's too afraid to ask any of the members for help or advice. He wants to prove them he's strong and mature enough to do this on his own. Deep inside he knows he should be asking for help because he can't manage it on his own.

"Dinner is ready!" Seonghwa calls making Jongho look up from his textbook to stare at the clock that reads 06:00pm. An entire day has passed by and he feels like he's gotten nowhere. "I'm not hungry!" Jongho shouts back as he makes his way over to the door and locks it. He sits back down as tears form in his eyes. I'm such a failure. He throws everything off his desk on the ground and sobs quietly. I can't do anything. Soon the quiet sobs turn into heavy crying. He's tired from not being able to study properly.

It's 7:30pm and Jongho is still sobbing alone in his bedroom.

"I'm worried about him hyung.. He still hasn't come down to eat dinner or eat anything actually.." Mingi says as he looks over at Seonghwa. "Do you want me to bring him something or check on him?" Mingi shakes his head "I'll go."

He gets up from the couch to put some dinner on a plate for Jongho and makes his way upstairs. Once he reaches his boyfriends room he hears faint sobbing. "Jongho? It's me babe. Can you let me in?"

Jongho looks up and rubs the tears from his eyes. His boyfriend can't see him like this. He unlocks the door and cleans up the mess on the floor. "I brought you dinner" Mingi sets the plate down and kneels down to help his boyfriend pick up the stuff. "Jongho.." Mingi looks at his boyfriend with a worried expression on his face. "Are you okay?" Jongho looks away trying to avoid eye contact. "Jongho?" Mingis tone turns into one that's filled with concern. 

Jongho looks down, fighting the tears that he feels prickling in his eyes. As he heard the tone of Minigis voice a tear slips down from the corner of his eye and falls on his jeans. He quietly shakes his head, not being able to speak right now. Thankfully, he doesn't have to as he feels two arms pull him into a tight hug. He gives in and buries his face into Mingis chest and sobs quietly.

Mingi feels so helpless at this point. The only thing he can do right now is just hold his boyfriend and wait for him to be ready to tell him what's wrong. He places his lips softly on Jonghos head and whispers "It's going to be okay. I don't know what's wrong but I promise it'll all be okay in the end." 

Jongho sniffles and looks up at his boyfriend. Before he can say anything a light, encouraging kiss is placed on his lips. "I- I'm just struggling Mingi.. I can't keep up with the finals and all the schedule we have right now. I can't focus on the fucking finals! I've read the same page about 50 times by now but I can't remember anything!" Mingi pulls him closer rubbing soft circles on his back. He knows Jongho is trying really hard and school was never his favorite thing either.

Suddenly he thinks of something that might help Jongho pass his finals and study in a fun way. "I have an idea!" Mingi shouts and smiles knowing how to get the best of both worlds out of this shitty situation. "We're going to the practice room and bring you books!" "But-" "No trust me!" Mingi says as Jongho gets up gathering the stuff he needs.

As they get into the practice room Jongho is feeling a little annoyed because Mingi won't tell him anything about his plan. "And what if it doesn't work?! Then I'm just wasting time!" Jongho groans as Mingi cups his face in his hands "Baby I'm almost 100% sure this will be a success. Okay so you do remember the choreographies easily right?" Jongho nods, still not following where Mingi is going with this.

"Okay so what if we combine each choreography step to something you need to learn? That way you can work on the choreographies and study!" "Wow.. I've never ever thought of that. Let's try it out!"

After a couple of hours Jongho runs over to Mingi and jumps straight into his arms planting kisses all over his face. "Thank you thank you thank you!!" Mingi laughs as he holds his boyfriend in his arms. "I'm so happy this is working out baby. I'm sure you're going to nail these finals next week." "All because of you babe, I love you" "I love you more"

A/N: So I had no idea how to end this properly lol I'm sorry
