Daniel turned on the other side of the bed for the 100th time that night. Closing his eyes, he felt his body falling asleep while his mind stayed awake. This wasn't anything new.

He hadn't been able to easily fall asleep for months. He never discussed it not wanting to worry the people around him. A night, Seungjin would get around 30 minutes of sleep. If he was lucky, he could sneak in some 5-10 minutes naps in between schedules.

The members would notice how tired he'd look and mention it but Daniel would dismiss it.

Daniel could feel the time passing. It seemed so slow. It annoyed him. With a sigh, he grabbed his phone looking at the time.

'3:43 am'

Every was supposed to wake up by 4:30 since they had a lot of things to do. Music shows and all that comes with a comeback.

He groaned as he got up his bed. Looking over at his roommates, he found them sleeping comfortably. Oh, how he wish he was them.

Taking his towels, he directed himself to the bathroom, to take a shower. Since he can't sleep, might as well get ready.

Looking into the mirror, he stared at himself. His ginger hair was a mess from all the tossing and turning. The dark circles under his eyes more prominent. His eyes red and filled with sleepiness. He groaned at his disheveled self.

Stripping himself from his grey sweatpants, he entered the shower. As the water poured out the shower head, he let his body adjust to the water's temperature. Letting out a shaky breath, he let his eyes closed, the warm water relaxing his tensed muscles.

Running his hands through his wet hair, he let the water pour onto his face, making it scrunch up.

Washing up, he splashed himself with cold water to fully wake up before coming out the shower. He brought his towel to his body, drying himself. Taking a different towel, he wrapped it around his waist.

Through the slightly foggy mirror, he could see his hair had curled up due to the water. He didn't really go around with his natural hair. His natural hair being his curly ginger hair. He usually dyed it black and straightened it.

It's not that he hated it, Daniel had just been through a lot of discrimination. Being a mixed kid was like double the discrimination. From other races and sometimes even from his own. Too black to be Asian and too Asian to be black. To make it worse, you're ginger.

When Daniel first arrived in Korea, he tried his best to blend in, almost rejecting his other half. Don't worry, he's learning to accept himself. Every sides of himself.

He debated on if he should straighten his hair or just let as it is. Whatever his choice is, his stylists would go with it. They loved his natural hair btw. Feeling too tired, he just let it as it was.

Brushing his teeth and doing his skin care didn't take much time as it was pretty minimal. Sighing, Seungjin dragged himself out of the bathroom back into his room. Taking out a matching dark grey sweatpants and hoodie set, he immediately got dressed.

Taking a leather bomber jacket out of his side of the closet, he swiftly put it on. Going to his side jewelery box, he carefully took out a few rings(5), a necklace/chain, his many piercings, with some dangly earrings for his earlobes. Putting them on, he made the least amount of noise.

Taking some black Air Jordans, he went out the room. Founding himself in the kitchen, Daniel made some coffee. It was gonna be a long day, he was gonna need a lot of caffeine to get through it. He wasn't anywhere hungry but he needed some energy.

They had some left over porridge and some hundred years old eggs. That was enough to satisfy him

Waiting for everything to get ready, his black painted nails tapped onto the counter. The tempo-less beat slowly turned into the familiar tune of their recent song, Spring day.

"Seungjin-ah." Namjoon's deep and sleepy voice resonated through the empty room. "You're awake early."

Daniel's first reflex was to look at the time. '4:02'

"Yeah. You're the only one awake?"

"Nah. Yoongi hyung is in the shower." He hummed in acknowledgement. "Are you alright?"

"Been better." Namjoon nodded telling him to continue. "Haven't been sleeping well. It's been, what? Seven months since I've had my type of full night of sleep."

Normally, he didn't sleep much but this was much more worse. He would get atleast 6 hours at night. 6 hours to 30 minutes is a big change.

"I don't know what started this shit but it ain't getting better. Already got the meds, did the teas and all but nothing. Now, I run on adrenaline and caffeine."

"Do you think that will be enough? We're going on tour soon."

"I mean, as long as I get to sneak in some 5 min naps, I'll manage. " Daniel smiled at him, before pouring some coffee for himself. "Want some?"

"Yeah, Ic-"

"Iced, I know."

"Thanks, Dani." He smiled. "Now, I think you should talk to Sejin Hyung about this. Visit a sleep clinic. Ask for some advice that may help even just for the tour. Can't have our secret ace passing out on stage."

Daniel was quick to knock on wood. Didn't believe in it but you never know. That made the two chuckle.

"Will do. Life with Insomnia is really hard."

Namjoon raised an eyebrow at the term. "Insomnia?"

"Yeah, got it checked out two months ago. Diagnosed."

The older boy chuckled at the revelation. "Now I remember why you were called the silent kill trainee. You're like, so secretive and for what?"

He rubbed the back of his neck, his rings hitting the chain he wore. "Don't know, mate. It's just how I am."

Even after all these years, he never lost his Aussie accent and lingo.

The heavy and tired steps indicated that more people were awake. Jimin entered the room with a pout on his puffy face, Taehyung hanging onto him. It was Jungkook's turn to enter, scratching his head, a stretching Hoseok followed. A well awake Jin came in. He was also dressed. Yoongi was right behind him, dressed as well.

"Morning." Daniel shouted with a smirk, making a lot of them wince. He apologized his voice still as loud.

"It's too early for this shit." Jin smacked the back of the maknae's head. "Ouch! Hyung."

"Watch your language. You've been hanging out with Hobi and Dani too much. It shows."

The latter just shrugged. "Shiiiit, ion know what he on about."

"Crazy."

"You guys better get ready, we need to be out of her by 5 and it's 4:35." Daniel reminded them of their schedule. Namjoon had already left to get ready, leaving Daniel as the 'leader'.

"How are you so awake?" Hobi asked rubbing his eyes.

"I've been awake for a long time and coffee."

"In other words, he didn't sleep." His jaw dropped in fake shock, at Yoongi's words.

"Hyung, how dare you!" The former shrugged. "Yeah, I wasn't sleeping. It's all good though. I'll be visiting a sleep clinic. Don't worry." He said mostly at Jimin who was staring at him worried.

"Okay..." The latter nodded.

"Now that that's cleared. Go get ready. Chop, chop. "

The boys grumbled as they dragged theirselves away.

"Don't forget to get the insomnia stuff checked out." Jin told him pointedly.

"I won't forget, hyung. No worries." He smiled.

"Good. If you do forget, I will B-"

"Woah. No need for violence. " He said hugging the older one.

"Mhm."
