[4:42pm] k.hw
“He’s just upstairs in his room, hun,” the woman's lips curled into a sweet smile as she pointed towards the carpeted staircase. Cocking her finger to the right, she continues. “The first door to your right.”
“Thank you,” you beamed, flashing a grin at the woman before pivoting on your feet and trailing up the stairs. It was funny; when the woman first opened the door for you, and you asked to see her son, she didn’t forget to follow up with the question of are you two friends? You simply nodded, her demeanor too sweet for the truth.
The woman’s son wasn’t your friend. In reality, it was Kim Hyunwoo—your currently sick lab partner, who always managed to make you go insane.
The door creaked open, exposing a ray of sunlight capable of blinding the masses. The room was cluttered, though you expected nothing less from your tardy labmate. Clothes were scattered across the floor and his desk chair, his bag gaping open as papers were practically flying out of it. An array of cups and soda cans were on display atop his bedside table—no wonder he had caught a cold. As your eyes continue to scan Kim Hyunwoo’s room, a figure shoots up, shaking the bed that they laid down in.
“y/n? What are you doing here?” Hyunwoo asked, his voice shaky and soft, with coughs lining his words—it managed to stay on your mind. Your chest sank to the floor; you were starting to feel bad for Hyunwoo.
“H-hey” You stutter, forgetting to answer his question. You shove the stack of paper to his chest. “Mr. Choi asked me to drop these off for you. It’s everything you’ve missed when you were gone.”
“Oh” He leaned back. He huffed out a chuckle, catching your attention. “You actually did it? I thought you didn't like me.”
You thought back to all the chemistry classes; classes where you’d lecture him on the smallest details. You wince. It was easy to think that, you suppose.
“That’s not true,” You add on anyways. “Now get some rest. I think you’re more annoying when you’re sick.”
Hyunwoo only nodded affirmatively before sinking into the sea of his bed covers. You look around once more, only now noticing the sky-rocketing thermometer levels, and the cup of hot tea scattered across his bedside table, just left of the soda cans. With a hitch of your breath, you sink down, your figure now at eye level with Hyunwoo’s as he laid down. You watched as Hyunwoo’s eyes remained shut, his breathing gaining volume with each huff. You presumed it was from the clogging of his nose.
It was weird; you were intrigued to see this new side of Hyunwoo. A side of him so calm and peaceful. For some reason, you didn’t mind being near him right now.
Finally realizing that you probably looked like a creep, you shot up from your seat. It was getting late anyways, you should probably head home to do some studying. As you turn around, however, you feel a slight tug at the hem of your shirt. You pivot back, only to see Kim Hyunwoo, face halfway hidden in the covers, with his arm stretched out at you—pulling you towards him.
“Could you stay a bit longer?” His voice was softer than a cloud.

The One - Kim Seunghun
Summary: You are working for C9 Entertainment and with CIX. You loved your job even though most of the time it was just cleaning up after them. But who would have thought that an injured Seunghun could change so much in your life?
You applied at C9 Entertainment 11 months ago. You still couldn’t believe you were part of the team for almost a year now. You were only working together with the team of CIX even though it was planned to put you into EPEX’s team as well. However, the manager changed that because you were needed with CIX.
It’s not that the members were really difficult to deal with, it was simply that they did not have as many staff members as EPEX did. C9 Entertainment was already recruiting more, it was just not as easy as they thought.
During their tour, you cleaned up the rooms they were staying in. Whenever they had to change their clothing, they did not have much time, so they left in a hurry. You were cleaning up the mess they left behind.
After some hours into the concert, you heard the music on stage, but you also heard footsteps coming closer. The door to the room opened and Seunghun came in. He walked over to the sofa and sat down. He winced in pain, and you noticed that he couldn’t move his hand.
You looked at him and how he tried to get the bandage and plaster. After a few moments of him struggling to get it around his wrist, you approached him and took the bandage from his hands.
He looked up and saw you taking the cream and some plaster. Then you carefully took his hand and concentrated on it. You were very careful because you didn’t want to hurt him.
As you applied cream and sanitizer he winced. “Sorry,” you said quietly and took the bandage. Slowly, you wrapped his hand into the bandage, while Seunghun was watching every movement from you. As you were done with the bandage, you looked up to tell him that you were done and he should be careful, but when you noticed that he was already watching, you couldn’t say anything.
You both were staring into each other eyes, and you could swear you felt his heartbeat increasing just like yours was.
Before you both could say anything more, the door opened again, and his manager walked in. You removed yourself from Seunghun and bowed to the manager. „He should rest his hand for at least 4 weeks,” you said before turning back to the pile of clothing in the corner. You felt Seunghun’s gaze on you, but you did not dare to look at him.
It’s not that you were not interested in him, you were. You were simply scared to lose your job. Rule Number 1 at C9 Entertainment was to not date any of the artists. And well, they did not say anything about falling in love. You would have broken that a long time ago. Since that rule didn’t exist, you were trying your best not to break rule number 1.
After the concert, you carried Seunghun’s bag even though he told you not to. But the manager looked at Seunghun „You are not carrying any bag with your hand,” he warned. Seunghun looked at him. „But why does she have to carry it? Any of the members could do it,” he argued.
„Because I am staff, Seunghun. It is my job to take care of you. Including carrying your bags if that is what’s necessary.” you answered professionally, getting approval from the manager.
Seunghun stared at you a little longer and then turned around to the members. Yonghee also looked at you for a moment and looked away again.
Back at the agency, you were walking into the foyer when the CEO approached you. „(Y/N), in my office,” he said before turning around already.
The members looked at you, and you shrugged, giving Seunghun’s bag to Jinyoung who was already offering his hand.
You walked away from the members feeling their gaze.
„Do you know what this is about?” Seunghun asked.
Yonghee shook his head, and also the rest of the members had no clue what was going on.
You walked into the office and sat down as the CEO was offering a seat. „Have I done anything not to your liking?” you asked.
The CEO sat down and looked at you. „There is a rumour going around, that you were interested in Seunghun. And I don’t think I have to remind you about the rule.”
You sighed. „Don’t worry. You don’t have to remind me, I know the rule, and I have no plans to date him.”
„What about your feelings?” he asked.
„There is no such rule, that says I have to stop my feelings,” you wondered.
The CEO nodded. „There is not. However, I have to give you a warning, and after long consideration, we decided to switch your position with one staff member from the EPEX team,” he explained.
You nodded. The CEO got up. „Let’s go to the members, I will explain while you can already tell the other staff member what there is to remember.”
As you approached the meeting room, the members were lying on the sofa, thinking about song lyrics.
They got up and bowed when the CEO entered. „There are some changes about the team. (Y/N) will switch to EPEX while Minyoung will switch to you.”
„No,” Seunghun said coldly.
The members looked shocked at him, but also you were shocked.
The CEO turned towards him. „No?”
„Yeah, I said no. We don’t want that staff change. I don’t see where the problem is.”
„There are things you don’t need to know, Seunghun.” The CEO boldly said.
„If it’s about the rumour about our feelings. I can assure you, I won’t break the rule. I stay away from her, but don’t make her switch,” Seunghun explained.
Did Seunghun just confess he also had feelings for you? No, that cannot be. You must have heard that wrong.
„You’re saying you also have feelings?” The CEO asked.
Seunghun looked at him. „Also? Who else has?” he is looking at the members who are shaking their heads.
The CEO turns to you, and you feel your cheeks heat up. You must look like a full tomato at this point. This was definitely not the way you planned for him to ever find out.
„What if they promise, to keep it private? Dating within the agency, where you have the hand on every person. Where you can basically control the outcome?” Yonghee suggested.
„Yes, why is it wrong for them to date? We don’t have a dating ban since 2021.” Jinyoung added.
„But I do,” you said, earning the gaze of all the members. „That’s the issue. I broke the rule. My contract says no relationship between a staff member and an artist.”
The CEO sighed as the members looked at him. „I won’t be able to stop you anyway,” he looked at Seunghun who nodded.
„Alright, I change (Y/N)‘s contract, into if the relationship is revealed it will have consequences. I am not sure about them yet. I will let you know later,” he said, before leaving the room, leaving you flabbergasted.
Seunghun grinned at you. And the members turned to Minyoung „I am sorry, but I think you can return to EPEX,” they politely bowed and Minyoung left again.
„Aaand this is our clue to leave. We meet you in the practice room, Seunghun.” Byounggon said.
After the members left, Seunghun turned to you. „So… will you date me? And see where this is going?”
You smiled. „Let’s see where this is going,” you smiled.
„I hope you don’t change your mind once you see the consequences written in your contract,” Seunghun said, making you laugh.
„I won’t,” you said, which was true. You were absolutely sure about it.
