what is infinite
Description
What's left behind when the heavy, sticky make-up is all washed away, and the members of Infinite aren't expected to look happy? What do they crave for when the flashy, too-tight clothes get left behind backstage, and they sleep in their dorms in comfortable, loose clothing and no one can criticize them for dressing like a bum? What if they were actual people with actual feelings and insecurities and mistakes and flaws, and they're not as perfect and wonderful as we all think they are?
Despite being handsome, talented, attractive, charming, humorous, and practically perfect in our eyes, do they still have to go through struggling with their image? Do they have unrequited love experiences, and do they ever have to cry themselves to sleep, or stay up all night because they were so frustrated they couldn't even rest their heartbeats? Do they ever get that sad feeling when they realize that the people they see everyday aren't so simple and easy to read as they thought; that they were also people with insecurities and mistakes and flaws?

Foreword
Sungyeol's tired of being thought of as a child; he's twenty-two years old now. His chubby cheeks are gone, and he's grown into his long legs and arms. He's unlike Woohyun, who's still insecure about his body and constantly worrying and worrying and he seems to care so much that he forgets that he's a human too and that he needs to be cared for as well. Dongwoo's similar to Woohyun in that way, but he, unlike Woohyun, knows that he has all of the members to be there for him to take care of him and worry about him when something bothers him. Hoya knows this too, but sometimes he doesn't know exactly how to care for someone; he doesn't know how to bring someone back up on their feet, he doesn't know how to make someone stop crying or how to comfort someone when they feel like their world has come apart. Sungjong almost always knows how to make someone feel better. Sungjong sees so much and he understands more than what other people think, but being the youngest, no one ever listens to him and he just gets so frustrated that he doesn't even want to offer his opinion anymore because no one's going to listen anyway. While Sungjong's crying to be heard, Myungsoo's the one with almost too much attention, and honestly, he just wants some alone time and he's so tired of hearing about how handsome his face is. Sunggyu's supposed to be the one who can take care of these kinds of messes. He's supposed to be the big leader that knows everything about the rest of the members: that Woohyun's lip quivers when he's nervous, that Myungsoo's eyes waver back and forth when he's caught of guard- things like that. But like every other human being, sometimes he forgets.
