(This is basically the set-up chapter. So there is no little space until the very end and this will probably be over 600 words.)

Seonghwa's POV

I was surprised that I was the first person awake today. Usually I wake up to San arguing with Wooyoung about what they'll eat for breakfast.

As I came out of the bathroom I spotted Hongjoong leaving his room. He looked extremely tired, like he didn't get much sleep last night.

"Are you ok?" He stopped and looked up at me before he spoke, "Tired. But I'll make it." Hongjoong walked away with a slow step, this was not like him at all. Usually, he was upbeat and ready to go after sleeping. But like he said, he was tired.

Hongjoong POV

I lied. I wasn't tired at all. I was more nervous than anything. This tour is getting more and more stressful every stop. My biggest fear is slipping into little space during a concert...

As I went to go get some food to calm my nerves, I heard the footsteps of not one, but two very hungry men coming for me.

"Good morning hyung! What's for breakfast?", yelled San, who dragged a half-asleep Wooyoung out of his bed for this. "First, it's not morning anymore. Second, anything you want. But hurry because we have to get ready. Show starts at 7 and Yeosang set my alarm for 2." Wooyoung, still half-asleep, perked up, "It's 2o'clock?! I missed The Talk!"

3rd Person POV

The group was about to perform for the city of Houston on their second night. Jongho was practicing his vocals in the corner while Yunho critiqued him. Yeosang was fixing his hair and hyping himself up in the mirror. Mingi, who had just rejoined the tour after getting tripped by Seonghwa's long legs four shows ago, was avoiding Seonghwa at all costs.

The only person not ready however, was Hongjoong.

"Hyung? Are you sure everything is ok?", asked Mingi. Hongjoong wrapped his arms closer around himself and smiled, "Yeah, I'm just a little worried." "About what?" "It's nothing...you should focus on making sure daddy long legs over there doesn't get you again."

The staff came back to notify the members the show is ready to begin. Reluctantly, Hongjoong joined the other members on stage.

Everything was going very well. The crowd was hyped and the members were doing an amazing job. That was until Hongjoong felt someone tap his shoulder mid-performance.

"Hyung...I think we need to stop.", said San. "What? Why?" "Look at Yeosang."   Hongjoong looked at the member in question and saw how exhausted he was. When the choreography changed, he saw Yeosang stop, and before he could reach him, the boy collapsed.

All the members gathered around and the staff helped to pick him up before rushing him backstage.

Hongjoong POV

To say I was freaking out was an understatement. My friend was passed out on a couch and I couldn't help. I tried to calm myself down but I couldn't, today was a mess.

When everything got under control, I went to my dressing room. Without even realizing it, I began to cry. It wasn't until I felt the tears on my face that I knew what was happening. I sat on the floor and just let it out. From forcing myself to stay out of little space, having to keep my little space a secret, and now being on tour, to this happening...it was all too much.

I laid on my back and before I knew it, I started to slip. I couldn't save myself this time, the pressure to slip had reached a boiling point.

(Last POV Switch I Promise...)
3rd Person

Hongjoong started whining loudly after slipping into his headspace. This noise attracted Seonghwa, who had wondered where the leader went.

"Hyung are y-",  he paused as he opened the door and saw Hongjoong crying on the floor. He ran over and helped him sit up. "What's wrong? Did you fall?"

The little could only babble and make noises as he looked at Seonghwa. "I don't know what to do...", he noticed Hongjoong calm down a bit when he looked at him, "Mama!"

Jongho walked in the room at the right time, seeing Seonghwa holding a sniffling Hongjoong in his arms.

"Jongho..."

"Yes hyung?"

"He just called me Mama."

"What?"

"He. Just. Called. Me. Mama."
