IDOL!AU

Synopsis: BlueLock characters as idols | CW: mentions of diets, crazy fans, fainting, little bit of Hiori backstory spoilers, tiny angst | Featuring: Isagi Yoichi, Chigiri Hyoma, and Hiori Yo | Notes: Can be read as in a group or soloist. @hiorisgf

In general

Blue Lock is a entertainment company with Ego as the founder.

Probably one of the most difficult companies to audition for since Ego is very critical about who he chooses. Also definitely went bankrupt once. Anri is the one who makes all the announcements regarding the idols because if Ego does it he’s gonna get flamed.

All the idols go through lots of exercises (vocally and physically), sometimes it goes on until early in the morning.

They get paid well, and have decent breaks but their schedules are really busy.

If they’re trainees then they are required to sign a form regarding leaking things and such.

Isagi Yoichi

Idol!Isagi’s main genres are ballads and RnB, he really likes the flow of it. He’s definitely open to other genres such as pop, soft pop, etc. His singing voice is really nice but he can’t do really long high notes and such.

Ido!Isagi who loves to work with other singers on songs.

Idol!Isagi when it comes to dancing he’s kind of stiff and the choreographer always tells him to loosen up, at first he does feel a little awkward but he gets used to it as he goes. He probably likes contemporary, jazz, and hip hop dance but is also open to different dances. Although the may not be as good in others than the ones he likes. Sometimes he feels awkward if it’s the first time he’s doing a dance in front of the mirror, he thinks he looks funny but the choreographer tells him it’s because he’s not yet used to himself dancing in front of the mirror and that he should practice more in order to get used to it. Not a fan of break dancing or freestyle, he just freezes on the spot if you ask him to do those.

Idol!Isagi really really loves his fans, he especially appreciates the ones who have been there since the first day he debuted. Also if his managers allow him, he will absolutely reply to all of the comments if he can on weverse. He’s really scared of the sasaengs, and is always looking over his shoulder whenever he takes out his phone, wallet, etc. His fans definitely make lots of memes out of him, he even has some saved on his phone. Tbh he probably doesn’t really care to speak about haters and just chooses to ignore them (definitely talks mad shit abt them tho).

Idol!Isagi sometimes gets the least lines.

Idol!Isagi is kinda hesitant to go on diets sometimes especially when he’s starting to feel weak and stuff. Will literally argue with his manager if they ask if he can go on a ice cube diet, tries to convince his manager to let his group mates eat and not go on diets too much. Has actually gotten sick and fainted once because of a diet he went on. He’s his group mates N1 fan literally no question and will not hesitate to defend them if someone says something insulting that isn’t true. (Sneaks food in for his group mates)

Idol!Isagi who is definitely the mom of the group and is always nagging at his members to take care of themselves

Idol!Isagi is definitely the center or face of the group

Idol!Isagi is the ambassador of Burberry and probably Nike

Hyoma Chigiri

Idol!Chigiri’s main genres are electropop, nu-disco, city pop, dark pop, and alternative rock. Occasionally he’ll make songs that are very poetic and hard to unravel without someone actually asking him. The meanings are usually sad but have a nice beat to it. His singing voice is not the top but his visuals, talents, and personality make up for it.

Idol!Chigiri isn’t the worst or best dancer and usually just sticks to singing if he can. But if he does dance he likes to have minimal moves and also likes if it’s slow, although he does warm up to more dancing depending on how much he likes his songs. Once in a while he’ll do these fast paced dances and he’s really good at it. He probably went too fast once and tired himself out before his choreographer and backup dancers and had to take a 10 minute break. He likes contemporary, breakdance, modern, and traditional. The least stiff out of the ones mentioned here.

Idol!Chigiri who is known for his really soft hair even if he has dyed it countless times.

Idol!Chigiri doesn’t really mind diets as long as they aren’t too intense and if they don’t have the foods he doesn’t like. But he does go on mild diets so he finds it okay but he does get a little uncomfortable if he’s having to actually starve for longer than he usually does. Let’s his members take bites of his food in secret if they’re on a diet.

Idol!Chigiri is the visual of the group and is famous for his hair most of the time. He’s also the lead vocalist (main and lead vocalists r different btw!)

Idol!Chigiri uses his phone and wallet more freely than Isagi but is still careful of the really crazy fans.

Idol!Chigiri is the silent protector in his group and subtly encourages his members.

Idol!Chigiri who as a trainee was really secretive and wouldn’t open up to anyone until he got really close to them. He would make his members food and help them if he couldn’t speak their language.

Idol!Chigiri loves his fans and admires their (false) loyalty towards him. He watches edits of him sometimes when he’s bored. Is absolutely flabbergasted when he sees that someone found out about something he’s never ever shared.

Idol!Chigiri who always promotes Paul Mitchell and poses with a small bottle of the product at the airport (he has a a whole suitcase filled with products whenever he goes somewhere). Recommends that brand to everyone if they ask but depending on their hair he will mention different brands. He absolutely loves that brand (me too).

Idol!Chigiri is the ambassador of Dior and Paul Mitchell

Hiori Yo

Idol!Hiori’s main genres are rnb, electronic, bedroom pop, and alternative. Has his bedroom in his studio. He has one desk for music making and one for gaming, the cost of the whole room is honestly more than what he gets paid yearly and it keeps building up cause of the stuff he buys. He has a nice voice but it depends on the pitch. He can do high notes but just not really high but he can hold the notes well.

Idol!Hiori who isn’t the best singer and dancer but his friendly personality makes up for it and that’s how he’s able to keep gaining fans.

Idol!Hiori likes hip-hop, freestyle, and lyrical. He also likes popping because it’s fun but doesn’t do it often. When he listens to songs he does little dances here and there. He’s probably one of the stiffest dancers mentioned here but he’s still working on it.

Idol!Hiori streams and lets his fans join him in games as long as they don’t try to hack him or whatever. He was nervous the first time cause someone made a comment that there was a hacker (they lied)

Idol!Hiori’s position in the group is center and sub-vocalist. Does take pride that he has those titles. Sometimes he gets the least lines.

Idol!Hiori is never seen without a Yakult, there’s always one in his hand or just nearby. Lots of Yakult merch in his room, and the walls are probably a light soft pink.

Idol!Hiori checks on his members' health especially the ones that are quieter than others. His members are always recommending that if you want a room idea you can just ask him. Also, they always mention how he gives the best company.

Idol!Hiori makes sure that when he buys something on stream or wtv he ends it or stops the screen recording. He changes his password once a month to make sure. Never got hacked during his whole career.

Idol!Hiori as a trainee was really encouraging and told others to not give up. He was usually in the corner by himself unless dancing. His members are grateful for him because if he wasn’t there then they may not be an idol now.

Idol!Hiori’s parents made him go through lots of training just to be an idol, but he’s glad he’s away from them more often. He’s also unsure if this is really what he wants to do since his parents made him do this.

Idol!Hiori loves his fans so much, he’s grateful for the support they give him. He probably admitted once that he wanted to give up and leave this career because he wasn’t sure if this is what he really wanted to do. Regardless his fans gave him the support he needed and told him that even if he wanted to give up they would still support him in whatever comes next. He got really emotional after hearing that.

Idol!Hiori is the ambassador of MSI, Jo Malone, and Yakult.

21 March 2022

Hamin's coming to South Korea? It's not that you didn't want to see your brothers, but at the same time you didn't think it was necessary for them to inconvenience themselves like this. It's not like it was that big a deal anyway, if anything, this visit would stress you out more than anything else. However you couldn't deny that it had been some time since all three of you were together, and part of you did want to spend time with them, but the other part of you knew that this couldn't have been more inconvenient for you.

You closed your messages app and walked back out to the main room. Haechan was passed out on the couch next to Taeyong, Hendery had been sent off to bed before he could hurt himself, Jaemin dragged Jeno back into the Dream dorms, Mark and Yangyang ran off before you could delegate cleaning duties to them, and that left you and Jihyun to pick up after them.

"Typical," you mumbled while collecting as many glass bottles as you could and tossed them into the recycling bin. "Those two are so going to hear it from me when I head over there," you muttered while wiping down the counters.

"Aw, I know you, honey, you're just mad that you didn't scram before they did," Jihyun laughs. She looks over at the couch. "Taeyong's going to freak out when he realizes he laid down on that thing."

"Oh I know," you snickered. "We need to replace that thing," you grimaced.

"(Y/N)!" Yangyang's hurried whisper somehow reached you from across the room.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to come help," you glared at him.

"No. Come to my room," he gestures for you to follow him.

"Go ahead, I've got it here," Jihyun nudges her head toward the door and you nodded.

Walking into the WayV dorm was almost jarring to see. Boxes and luggage had been strewn across as far as you can see and still, somehow, it felt so empty. You turned to Yangyang's room and pulled it open.

"What's all this?" You looked around, the room had been largely cleaned out to its bare bones now. It was almost saddening, actually, you'd had many memories in here and now it was just... empty. But, in the middle of the room, was a small table set up with a small cake and bottles of soju.

"We're having Yang's going away party!" Mark grins.

"Yup! Like hell I'd be leaving without having one last celebration with you guys," Yangyang hands you a bottle and your shoulders sank.

"Aw, geez, how is it that I'm the one being surprised here?" You sat down and Mark passed out the shot glasses.

"We kinda decided to do this last minute," Mark shrugs. "It's multipurpose too, Yangyang's going away, Kyungjae going to jail, your relationship's back, and things are just starting to look up in general, so… why not?” He pours soju into the shot glasses and picks his up. “So… uh… to us?”

“To us!” You and Yangyang repeated. The glasses clinked together and you took the shot.

"You know what, we should plan like... a day," you hummed. Tired and confused glances were what you received. "Let me finish, we should plan a day where we all call each other, you know? Like, we're all going to get really busy, so might as well reserve a day already," you shrugged.

"Yeah, let's do it," Mark opens up his calendar and visibly gulps. "Uh... I'm not too packed on Thursdays..."

"Every Thursday then?" You ask.

"Every Thursday is a bit hard," Yangyang looks up from his phone. "How about every other Thursday?"

"Every other works," Mark shrugs.

"Yeah," you agreed right as the door opened and Suho walks in. "Hey! The gang's all here!"

"I'm only here because Yangyang left this in the van," he places the duffle bag on the floor. "What are ou three up to?" He asks.

"Oh, just a mini celebration since Yangyang's getting exiled," you grinned.

"NCThree is never going to have another comeback." Yangyang cries into his hand.

"Huh? Exiled? Never having a comeback? What are you two talking about?" Suho's head tilts. "Yangyang's coming back."

"Yeah! For the year-end promotions!" Now you felt like crying. "My best friend is going to be an ocean away for a year," you took the soju bottle and just drank straight from it.

"No, (Y/N), uh..." Suho stutters while Mark comforts you.

"You will be missed, Yangyang, but your position is up for grabs," Mark jokes. Yangyang's face grows dead serious.

"If someone wants to take my best friend spot they're going to have to kill me first," he says.

"NCThree!" Suho speaks up and all attention lands on him. "Yangyang is coming back next month! They all are!" Suho clarifies. You and Mark turned to Yangyang now, disappointed but not surprised.

"Oh," you stood up and dusted your pants off. "Wow, worried us for nothing, huh?" You playfully pushed Yangyang's head and he nearly falls off the chair.

"I'm only leaving for a month?!"

"You're only leaving for a month! You're just going there to film some content then you're coming right back! Who the hell told you you'd be staying in China?" Suho asks. Again, stares land on Yangyang.

"In my defense, I've never been the brightest in this group."

"Fucking hell, I'm going to bed," you stacked the cups and grouped the bottles together.

"Dang... so (Y/N) and I were getting all sad for no reason? That's cold, Yangyang," Mark shakes his head.

"Hey, I actually thought-"

"You're lucky though, Yangyang, you're going to miss my brothers," you yawned on your way out of the room. Yangyang blinks slowly before tumbling out into the hallway.

"You have brothers?!"

22 March 2022

"Ugh... it's too early for this," Yunho mutters, his eyes tired and his voice dragging.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have stayed up watching video games," their manager taunts. Collective groans filled the air, but one of the members was particularly in a good mood. Seonghwa couldn't keep still, he was practically rocking back and forth in his spot. There had been this looming presence over you and him since the whole fiasco months ago and now, finally, a chance for closure and a chance for new beginnings.

Plus, he was always excited to see you.

"Alright, I'm glad I have you all here!" Their CEO, as bright as ever, marches into the room. He stands before the group, who are all seated around the meeting table. "Now, I've gathered you all here today for a very important announcement. Following recent events, I've become very concerned with your security. From various people overstepping our boundaries, to people targeting those we love, I've decided to take action." Somehow, Seonghwa felt like he was being put on the spot here.

"You hired more security?" Hongjoong asks. Whatever exhaustion he had was easily hidden by his professionalism.

"Something like that," their CEO hums. "Please come in, sir, and introduce yourself to my boys," their CEO steps aside as another person enters the room.

And then Seonghwa felt his jaw drop.

Dressed in a suit and with a badge hanging around his neck, Seonghwa almost didn't recognize him. Actually, he didn't recognize him at all until he swept his hair out of the way and the scar across his cheek became apparent. He almost felt like he was overreacting, there should be no way that the stranger would recognize him, but, to Seonghwa's comfort, it seemed Hongjoong had been taken aback by the man's gruff appearance as much as he was.

"Hello, I'm Jung Kanghoon, I will be in charge of your personal security from now on," the man bows for a moment before straightening. "I hope we can get along well."

"There you have it then," their CEO beams. "Kanghoon here will be in charge of all eight of you, I've already provided your work phone numbers to him, and I'll be sending you his number sometime later today. If you have any questions or concerns, take it up with him," their CEO juts a thumb toward Kanghoon. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll just leave you all with him to get to know each other better, you'll be seeing him much more often from now on," their CEO gestures for their manager to follow him out. Kanghoon takes a seat at the head of the table. The room was silent for a few moments.

"I have a question," Wooyoung speaks up. Kanghoon looks at him. "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Wooyoung!" Hongjoong gasps.

"You can't just ask people if they've ever killed someone!" Mingi shouts.

"What?! I'm curious! Just look at the guy!" Wooyoung gestures to Kanghoon with both hands. "Look at the scars on his hands, those are awesome!" He compliments him.

"... Do you really want to know the answer to that?" Kanghoon asks with a small smirk. Wooyoung matches his energy.

"Yeah, I do, actually."

"Not purposely, no," Kanghoon answers vaguely.

"I knew it," Wooyoung congratulates himself.

"How'd you get that scar?" Yeosang asks next. Kanghoon stares at him and Yeosang points to his cheek.

"How do you think?"

"Secret mission along the border, you tried to get out unscathed but you ran into someone you had tricked into being your brother in arms and, in his betrayed rage, he attacked," Yeosang answers.

"Interesting story, but no, I got it from my younger sister," Kanghoon answers. "She was playing with scissors."

"Oh..." Yeosang sinks into his chair.

"Aside from questions of my past, do any of you have any other more relevant questions?" Kanghoon's gaze lands on Seonghwa, who tries to avoid his look. "If not then, I'll give you my number. I'm officially starting next month," Kanghoon says.

"Here, give it to me, I'll send it to the others," Hongjoong approaches him first.

"Sure, whatever is easier," Kanghoon replied as Hongjoong handed him his phone. Kanghoon handed it back to him and stood up. "I look forward to working with you all." He leaves the room.

"Whoa, hyung, you're like, white as a sheet, are you okay?" Yunho waves his hand in front of Seonghwa's face.

"Uh... yeah, I'm fine," Seonghwa tugs at his collar. It's whatever, totally, it was just a coincidence if anything. Besides, he had a much more important event to look forward to tonight anyway, he'd deal with this when it came back later.

It was clear that you had a pep in your step all day today, and every member of NCT knew it. Especially when the ones who were hungover were the first ones to notice your behavior.

This morning, for example, you said good morning to Doyoung. Everyone knows that the two of you just don't click and still you acknowledged his presence? Who even are you? And even when Doyoung responded similarly, that didn't stop Johnny and Jungwoo from making immediate eye contact with each other.

Then, then, just a few moments later, you actually helped Chenle open a jam jar, and when he tried to crack a joke about your strength you just smiled and said that it was something you'd always had with you. What? No matter how much Chenle tried to tease you, you easily deflected it back on him.

Now, and it was an honest mistake, Jeno got a little carried away laughing and accidentally launched your phone across the room. The already shattered screen had shattered some more, it was a miracle that it still worked at this point. But, did you get mad? No.

"Don't worry, Jen, things happen," you grinned. You glanced at the clock. 5:00 pm. You picked your phone up from the ground and disappeared into the ANiMA dorms.

"Isn't she supposed to be sad right now?" Jeno asks.

"Nah, she found out Yangyang's only going to be gone a month," Hendery replies.

"Oh, shit, okay, but like... I'm glad she's happy and all after everything but like..."

"Yeah, I get it," Hendery shrugs. "You know, Jiaying said earlier that she was singing in the shower, she never does that."

"Really?" Jungwoo sits up. "You know what? I saw Jaemin accidentally spill coffee on her and she told him not to worry about it too," he says.

"It is kind of suspicious," Haechan says from behind the counter. "Last time I saw (Y/N) this happy was before she went on her first date with Seonghwa," he says with a knowing tone. Everyone turns to him and he continues to put the dishes away behind him. "I don't know, just a thought," he says. Before any more conversation to continue, you walked back out into the main room and across. You knocked on the WayV side of the dorms and Kun opened it.

"(Y/N), we've been over this, you can just enter, you don't need to knock," he says.

"Can you ask Ten to give me my steamer back?"

"Yeah, hold on," Kun looks over his shoulder, "Ten, give (Y/N) her steamer back." You hear a muffled response. "He says he still needs it."

"Tell him I need it now."

"She needs it now," he shouts over his shoulder. Another muffled response. "He's asking why."

"I have a date tonight."

"She has a- you have a date tonight?!" Kun does a quick double-take back to you and you nod. You hear doors opening in succession mixed with shuffles and things breaking behind you.

"You're going on a date?! With who?!" Jungwoo shouts while he practically hops on his feet. "When? Where? Do you need help? Please speak clearly into my left shoulder." You scrunched your eyebrows and blinked slowly.

"Yes, Seonghwa, tonight, I'm not sure yet, and no."

"You and Seonghwa were still talking?! I thought his psycho stalker like... ruined you two," Jeno chimes.

"That's what I'm saying! And his psycho friend almost ruined them again!" Yangyang follows Mark out.

"What were you two doing without me?" You eyed them suspiciously.

"Guy stuff," they answered vaguely.

"Huh, okay, well, yes, I'm going on a date tonight, and we're just going to talk about things, okay?" You explained just as Ten emerged with your steamer. "It's not a big deal, okay?" You took the steamer.

"Kun, tell the managers we will not be leaving tonight," Ten says with a straight expression. "I need to be here and present to see the outcome of this."

"I'm sure the grapevine will find a way to get to us," Kun tiredly looks back at all the luggages behind him. The WayV dorm had turned into a lawless land. "Dear god... this will be the longest six hours of my life," he mutters.

"Are you sure you'll be safe?" Johnny walks out now with a towel still wrapped around his head.

"Yes? Why wouldn't I be?"

"Like we need to answer that," Jaemin, rising from his nap on the couch, adds. "But, do whatever you want to do," he waves his hand.

"Thank you, Jaemin, at least one person knows how to mind his own business," you shut the door behind you, leaving the muffled discussion behind you. You looked down at your phone, which was still open to the chat from your brothers. You sighed and slumped your shoulders, talk about a pain, you had enough to worry about already and now you had to worry about your brothers too.

"Oop, sorry, kiddo," Saeron nearly bumps into you but as soon as she sees your expression, she places the two suitcases in her hands down. "Is everything alright, (Y/N)?"

"Uh..." you glanced at your phone again, "well, to be honest, I'm a little stressed out," you said quietly. Saeron's expression softens and she leads you to the counter.

"Well, let's talk a little about it then, (Y/N), what's going on? Can unnie help in any way?" She asks. You flipped your phone face down on the counter.

"Just... well, everything. The whole Kyungjae situation finally processed in my head, then everything with Hwa is kind of unstable, my best friend is going back to China for who knows how long, my brothers are really worried about me, and... just, too much." Now that you had listed everything out, you felt a heavy weight being pushed down on you. With all these priorities and responsibilities on your plate you just didn't know what to do next.

"Hmm, well," Saeron takes a moment to gather her thoughts, "everything with Kyungjae has been handled, for the most part. At least he won't be near you anymore, that's what matters. And as for you and Seonghwa, well, I can't speak for his end, but you very clearly want to make that work, so have faith in that," she starts, she looks over toward the door for a moment, "to be honest, (Y/N), I don't think I can say much on you and Yangyang, but I don't think the distance will change anything especially if you value your friendship, so have faith in that as well. Your brothers, on the other hand, I'm sorry that I can't say much on that either, you know them better than I do, but I'm sure they do it from a place of love, just as I'm talking with you now," she says. She pats the suitcases lightly. "You know, when I get upset, I like to do my favorite hobby, and in this case it's organizing! Why don't you do something too?" She asks.

"I think I will, unnie! But, can I ask what exactly you're organizing?"

"The WayV dorm!" She smiles. "Those boys need a woman's touch, you know," she giggles. Jihyun, however, watches with wide eyes.

"Those poor boys," she mutters.

"What was that, dear?" Searon doesn't even turn her head.

"Nothing, my love," Jihyun turns a page in her book. "But... (Y/N), why don't you come with me to my room? I think I know exactly how you can relax before your date," Jihyun gestured for you to follow her and you did just that.

As soon as you walked in, Yeseul's eyes shone.

"Jie! You're a genius!" Yeseul's hands clasp over yours. "(Y/N), you're a lifesaver!"

"Hmm?" You look around and spot the music program open on Jihyun's desktop.

"(Y/N), please, please, please collaborate with me!" Yeseul begs. Before you could answer, Jihyun presses play and the backtrack fills the room.

"Oh?" You sit down on the bed and listen to the beat. "Oh."

"Yes! Jihyun and I have been wrapping our heads around what the song was missing and now I've got it! I should sing it with someone else!"

"Oh, unnie, you know I'm not the strongest-"

"Don't be ridiculous, you're plenty strong! In all aspects! Please say yes," she plead. Well, you couldn't deny that you liked the track a lot, and you'd known for a while now that Jihyun and Yeseul were working on the next NCTLab, but you didn't think they'd want you to be involved this much. "Come on, (Y/N)! Saeron is even writing the lyrics! Let's make it a family project!" She continues.

"... I'm in," you nodded your head curtly, "but I have to get ready for my date so let's just read through it once!"

Seonghwa looked at his watch while he waited at the bottom floor of the dorms. The bouquet of roses in his hands slowly grew heavier as the minute hand ticked on. He took a deep breath, the jitters in his chest becoming more and more apparent. It's not like this was your first date, he didn't understand why he was this nervous. Then, he heard the doors slide open, and you bounded out.

And just like that his heart stopped.

"Wow," he mumbles.

"Sorry, I got so caught up with the girls," you fixed your earrings just as you stood in front of him, "did I make you wait long?"

"For you, I'd wait however long I need to," he replies. A small smile rose on your face. "And these are for you," he hands you the bouquet and you accepted it carefully.

"They're beautiful, thank you," you played with the red ribbon that tied them together. "Ten! Bring these upstairs for me, please!" You called. Ten emerged from his hiding spot.

"You're good," his eyes narrow.

"And tell the others that there's nothing to worry about," you handed him the roses. Ten glared at Seonghwa, gesturing that he, and likely every member of NCT, was watching him carefully.

"Call off the operatives," Ten mutters under his breath.

"What was that?" You asked him.

"Nothing, (Y/N), just have fun! But not too much fun," he glares at Seonghwa.

"I'll have her home by 11," Seonghwa just smiles. Ten disappears into the dorm, never once breaking eye contact.

"You'll have to excuse them," you chuckled.

"I don't blame them," Seonghwa digresses. He offers you his arm. "Shall we, then?" You looped your arm around his.

"We shall, take me away, love!"

The walk, surprisingly, wasn't as far as you thought it was. Sure, there was the occasional passerby who snapped a picture of the both of you, but for whatever reason you didn't seem to care. Even at the restaurant, when you felt every set of eyes land on you, you didn't care. No, instead you found comfort in yours and his hands which had so naturally found themselves together. You just looked forward to the wonderful night you had in store. Sure, you had to get the grueling details out of the way first, but what's a relationship without its hurdles?

"Table for two, correct?" The hostess asks. Seonghwa nods. "Let's see, Park Seonghwa... Park Seonghwa... Ah, here you are, reserved balcony seating, with Dinner Plan A please follow me," she sets off and the two of you are quick to follow.

The balcony was romantic, to say the least. It was a private area with the table in the middle, atop it was a charming candelabra and the dining set atop it was eye-catching. Even the decor that surrounded you seemed to set the mood so perfectly.

"You really planned it out, huh?" Seonghwa pulled the chair out for you and pushed it back in once you were settled. He swung his suit jacket over the back of the chair before taking his own seat.

"Too much?" He asks.

"Never," you replied. The waiter placed your appetizers in the middle of the table before pouring champagne into both of your glasses. Once he was gone, you folded your arms over the table. "So... Kyungjae."

"Right, the elephant in the room," Seonghwa leans on his chair. "It's true, we went to grade school together, but that was the extent of it. Even now, when I ran into him again, I didn't consider us friends at all. The fact that he did those horrible things to you, though, I will admit is my fault."

"Your fault? Hwa, you couldn't have known he was strange like that," you tipped the champagne glass to give it a taste. "But you going to his apartment, that was dangerous. You know as well as I do that as idols we can't do reckless things like that."

"I know, there's no excuse for our recklessness-"

"Our?!"

"... we may or may not have all been in on it."

"Oh god, Hwa, imagine the..." your voice trailed off and you took a calming bite of the tart in front of you. "Thank you. Even though it was reckless, who knows what Kyungjae would have done to me," you were genuine when you said it. "Not many people would've done that for me."

"Probably Yangyang."

"Probably Yangyang," you laughed, "but then we'd probably never see him again," you reasoned. The waiter returned and took the now empty plates and replaced them with the main entreé. As soon as he was out of earshot, you continued. "I still can't believe San didn't blab it all to me somehow," you hummed.

"Me too, and to be honest, there was another factor too," Seonghwa's eyes glanced up in thought. "Okay, first, let me say that it won't sound believable at all, but I promise it's true," he says cautiously. You lean in with your curiosity piqued. "There was someone who texted all of us and said we'd have insurance, and I think he was there at the apartment that day too," he said quietly. You blinked once.

"There are two things wrong with what you just told me, baby."

"I know," Seonghwa nods curtly. "We're going to deal with the whole phone thing tomorrow, but there was this oddly timed event when Kyungjae received a package right before I got caught, it couldn't have been a coincidence," Seonghwa continues.

"Huh, that is interesting," you mumbled. "Talk about luck."

"I know," Seonghwa whistles.

"Hey, um... since the mood is like this we'd might as well get it out of the way," you spoke up again, "was there anything else we should get out of the way?"

"Well," Seonghwa moved his food around with his fork. "Yes, actually. I think I owe you the full truth."

"You do."

"That day-"

"Excuse me!" You turned your head toward the man that had approached your table. "I'm sorry, I'm such a huge fan I had to ask for your autograph, but all I have is your photocard here," he opens his phone case.

"Oh, sure, do you have a," he cut you off by handing you a sharpie. "Sorry," you apologized to Seonghwa and scribbled your signature over your face and handed the card back to him.

"Thank you so much! Fighting! I can't wait to see your next project!" The fan bows his head and runs off.

"Anyway," you turned back to Seonghwa just in time to notice him writing his signature in a woman's notebook. He handed it back to her with a smile and she ran off. "So-"

"Would the two of you like to take a look at our wine menu?" The waiter seemingly appears next to your table and you cut into your meal a little too hard, the knife clanging against the plate harshly. You released the breath you'd been holding.

"No thank you, but could you make sure no one else walks out here?" Seonghwa answers for you.

"Of course, sir," the waiter dismisses himself and leaves the two of you alone.

"Sometimes I forget we're popular," you drank more of your champagne. "Anyway, please continue. What do you mean by full truth?"

"I think I should tell you what exactly Juliet had on both of us. For you, it was what happened between you and Yangyang that night. For me-" the loud camera shutter startled both of you.

"Seriously? Have they no shame?" You pressed your lips together but kept your expression straight. You knew well enough that if you showed that you were annoyed you'd get an earful so, instead, you continued to eat.

"I'll wait until they're gone before I say, I don't want it getting misconstrued," Seonghwa cuts into his dinner while side-eyeing the paparazzi. He clears his throat. "Until then, though, how has your day been?"

"Hectic," your shoulders slumped. "First I found out my brothers are coming to visit, then I found out that Yangyang's not actually leaving for a whole ass year instead he'll be gone a month, and now I think I'm collaborating with Yeseul for an NCT Lab," you counted the events on your hand. Click, shutter, flash.

"Brothers? I thought you only had the one," Seonghwa asks.

"Oh, I have two, I'm the middle child. I'm a little excited though, I've been wanting to introduce you to them both!" You grinned. "But I said my bit, so how about you?"

"Hm, I had rehearsal earlier and... wait, actually, did you know San and Saeron were related?"

"Huh? Yeah, of course I did, you guys didn't?" Click, shutter, flash.

"He never mentioned it!"

"In his defense, they're not actually related, they're pretty distant if anything. They really only saw each other at, like, holiday parties and birthdays," you laughed and all Seonghwa could do was smile. And, you had to admit, you missed the warm feeling you always had when you saw it. The way it spread across your chest and to your face, it was such a comforting feeling. "What are you looking at?" Your hands rose to your face and you made sure there weren't any crumbs on it or anything. Click, shutter, flash.

"Just you, who else?" He chuckles. "You're radiant tonight," he says. Talk about a finishing move. No matter where you looked, nothing could hide the bashful expression you had. Click, shutter, flash.

"I missed this." Ah, who were you kidding? "I missed you."

"I missed you too," Seonghwa replied quietly, enough for you to hear and you alone. Click, shutter, flash.

"They're tenacious," you rolled your eyes with a smile.

"I wonder what the pictures will look like."

"Oh god, I hope they're getting my good side," your expression settles on your idol smile. Click, shutter, flash.

"Mine too," Seonghwa straightens his posture. Click, shutter, flash. "It's a shame though," he opens the camera app on his phone, "your good side is the one facing me," he snaps a quick candid picture of you and flips it so you could see.

"Wow, you always manage to get the best pictures of me!" You immediately thought of the album you had of the both of you. You were more of a candid picture and video kind of person, a lot of what you had on the two of you were pictures taken in the moment or some taken without him knowing.

"I mean..." Seonghwa slid his phone to you and you scrolled through the album. Click, shutter, flash.

"Oh god, if any of these got out I could kiss my image goodbye," you covered your mouth to hide your laugh. You stopped on one of the images. It was taken right at the perfect moment, you think. It was your last evening in Rome and the two of you had decided to spend it in the hotel room. Seated on the balcony with the sunset in front of you, the picture really only showed your silhouette and... "a ring?" You looked at him with wide eyes now. "I don't think..." you looked around, cameras were still pointed at you. Seonghwa glanced too and slid you a velvet box, and he did so behind the wine bottle such that the paparazzi couldn't intrude. Your hand rested on top of it now, your fingertips just barely brushing over his.

"I... uh..." Seonghwa swallows harshly. "I'm not asking you to marry me, not yet, there's still so much I want for us to do together before we can take that step together. But, after everything that's happened and after everything we've been through, I really thought about it." You opened the box. It was a silver ring with a ruby in the center. "(Y/N), I've had this ring since our first anniversary, I just didn't know how to give it to you, and I didn't know what to say. But I do now."

"Seonghwa, I..." you couldn't form words, or at least, you couldn't put them in order.

"I can't promise that we won't go through tough times and I can't promise that it will get any easier, but I can promise that I will stay with you throughout it all, no matter what, I promise that I will always choose you," he confesses. "If you'll have me, that is, you don't need to give me a response now, I know there are cameras on us and-" you stood up almost abruptly. "Wait, wait, what's wrong? I'm sorry, I know I should have timed it better!" He stood up too, ready to follow you out if anything, but his words fell on deaf ears, you just needed something to hold, anything.

"Ugh, this will do," you grabbed one of the empty plates and held it up to cover your face. "Hold this, please. I'm going to kiss you right now."

"What? I... okay," his glance slid to the plate and he grabbed the other end right as you let go of it to hold his face instead.

The kiss was like magic. The flashes of cameras were hidden behind that plate, and it truly felt like it was just you and him in that moment. Then, you heard him place the plate down, but neither of you pulled away, neither of you wanted to. His hand wrapped around yours and he pulled it down in front of his and your chests.

"Jung (Y/N), I love you," he slid the ring onto your finger.

"Park Seonghwa, I love you too, and I promise to stay by your side too," you swore this on everything you were just as he did.

What happened next was like an omen. The romantic moment was perturbed by both of your phones going off at the same time. Both of your gazes fell on your respective devices before settling on each other.

"Oh... that can't be good," you swallowed harshly, especially when you both turned your phones over and saw that your respective managers were calling you. It was now when you both became hyperaware of the whispers around you. You both sat back down to answer your blaring phones.

"(Y/N). Come back as soon as you can. There is an urgent meeting with the PR team right away."

"Right away? What's wrong? What happened?" You and Seonghwa looked at each other again across the table and you felt your heart drop. The expression on his face was one you'd never seen on him before. It was complete and utter distraught. You pulled your phone away to see the second call that was coming in. "I'll be in as soon as I can, I'm sorry, Suho, Yangyang's calling me."

"As long as you're in tonight," was the last thing Suho said before you switched to Yangyang.

"(Y/N), I know you do whatever the hell you want, but if you listen to me once then don't do anything, don't look at anything, hell, don't even say anything."

"What's going on?"

"Look, (Y/N), we're giving Seonghwa the benefit of the doubt, but holy fucking shit what he said was horrible. Look... just trust me, okay? I don't want you to be alone."

"Oh... okay," you looked at Seonghwa again and he just shook his head. Yangyang hung up the phone and you saw the flurry of texts on your phone. all of them checking in on you and all of them worried about you. You opened one of the messages from an unknown number, all it had was a link to a Twitter thread, and the link matched many others on your phone. One link that stood out was from your manager, it was attached to a short message that said 'I was instructed not to show you this until the meeting but... it's better you prepared yourself.' You opened the link and it opened to a series of videos from a user by the @/julesCT. The thumbnail was grainy, but it was clear that it was taken in one of the Music Bank waiting rooms. You played the video.

“Look, I don’t know about this.” It was clearly Seonghwa's voice. “Dating? Now? ATEEZ is going so well and ANiMA? Sheesh, I don’t even know where to start with that group…” You felt a pang in your chest from the tone in his voice. The two people in the video, although hard to make out, their hair colors stood out easily. If it really was Seonghwa talking, you could assume the video was from two years ago now based on their hair.

“I mean, do you want to date her?” Hongjoong, you knew his voice as well as Seonghwa's.

“I just don’t want any unnecessary drama. Can you imagine the scandal from this? Either way I look at it, it’s going to be worse. She’s a nice girl but the scandals following her? Even if most of them aren’t even her fault, it’s hard to not associate those with her.” There were parts of the audio that were garbled, but some of the messages were clear.

“I understand, why don’t you ask her yourself?”

“I heard that she's a really pretentious person. Maybe conceited? What if the rumors are true that she just plays around with different guys? I don’t want to be part of that.” You couldn't control your expression, and such must have been clear to your date in front of you.

"(Y/N), let me explain," Seonghwa says, you held your hand up.

“I just don’t want to be another name in her so-called "playbook,” you know? I hear people talk about it all the time." Seonghwa's voice concludes. You heard more muffled audio, probably a response from Hongjoong, but you couldn't tell. You were too hung up on that word, playbook. What the hell? Aside from Seonghwa you'd only dated one other person. Sure, you were talking to a couple of people before debut too, but never anything concrete. What the hell kind of playbook was going around?

There was a second video under it. You played it, whether out of curiosity or out of spite you didn't know.

“Whoa! Hyung! Got the NCT girl?” San too?

“We’re just trying things out, the first date went… rough.” Seonghwa's voice. Sure, your first date wasn't stellar, but to talk about it with that tone? Was it that bad?

“Dang, you’re about to make other idols pretty mad,” San laughed. “You know, a bunch of other guys have their eyes on her. Rumor has it she was a total catch back in university, guys were flocking over to her daily. I hear she slept around a lot too.” You almost gasped. Was that really how they thought of you at first? You were certain that they didn't think of you that way now, but just what kind of rumors went around about you? What did you do for them to start anyway?

"(Y/N), please," Seonghwa, the real one now, tried to cut into your thoughts. His voice was quiet, but you could clearly hear him over the video and over the whispers. You didn't stop the video, however.

“Oh, come on, those are just rumors. You have the same ones.”

“Aren’t you curious though?” San seemingly asked with a teasing tone. You could barely make out the two figures in the video, but one of them seemed to shake their head. “You’re lying~” The video cut off. You turned your phone off and placed it face down on the table. You couldn't bring yourself to look up.

"(Y/N)," Seongwha's voice was quiet in front of you.

"They're... they're not real, are they?" You asked. The restaurant had fallen into a tense silence. Everyone was listening in on your conversation. Out of consideration, the waiters closed the door to the balcony, giving the two of you the privacy you should've already had.

"Not... not entirely," Seonghwa answers.

"But they're real?" You asked. You, of all people, knew how easy it was to modify evidence and to pick videos apart to make someone seem worse than they really were. You, of all people, knew how ruthless netizens could be. But even with context, you struggled to understand how it could mediate the situation. This whole time, you still couldn't bring yourself to raise your head. You saw Seonghwa's hands fold on top of each other, and you saw the way they trembled.

"Yes, they're actually conversations I've had," he confirms, you covered your mouth now, holding back a sob. The cold metal of the ring rested against your lip, and it just made the whole thing harder. "But... they're not the full conversations, there are parts of them edited out," he says. You figured as much, there were parts of the audio that had awkward cuts, and then there were the muffled responses despite the other ones having been heard clearly before. "I... I was going to tell you right before our managers called." You couldn't blame him for that, at every opportunity he had, it became too clear that someone unwanted was listening.

"I see," you replied. You looked up now and you felt your heart twist. The last time you saw him like this, looking like someone who had realized he fucked up, was just a few months ago. And now, again, your relationship, and your patience, are being tested. Tears pricked at the side of your eyes. "Edited or not, Seonghwa, the fact that you said those things about me is something I can't overlook. I know, I know you said these before we got to know each other better, but... I'm sorry, some of those things you and the others said... those are hard to forgive," your voice grew weaker with every word. Seonghwa said nothing throughout this. Instead, his head hung low. He couldn't deny the facts, he couldn't deny that it really was him in both of those videos. You started to play with the ring on your finger now, and Seonghwa's breath hitched.

"I am so sorry, (Y/N)," he apologizes. "You're right. I said those things before I knew you, and so did San, and so did Hongjoong. But none of us were in any place to make assumptions like that. If I could show you the unedited videos, I would, believe me. But I can't, so please, just take my word for it. I don't believe any of those things we said now, and I know better." You looked away from him.

"I know that," you nodded your head. "It's just... sorry, I know, I really do believe you, Hwa, but fuck how could anyone say anything like that? That's not fair," you shook your head slowly. You grabbed your things. "I... I'm going home, I have a meeting about this. Thank you for telling me, I'll relay it to the PR team and... we'll," you looked into the restaurant and saw all the prying eyes turn their heads quickly, "we'll talk about this later, okay? I'm not mad, I'm just... really disappointed that I had to find out this way," you explained. You looked into the restaurant again, the way to the exit suddenly seeming much longer than before. Again, you played with the ring on your finger. You turned back around to Seonghwa, who was still looking at you. His hand was on the back of his chair and he looked as if he was about to get up and follow you.

"(Y/N), I'm sorry, I really did try to tell you," he says.

"I know," you nodded curtly. "And you also promised... that we'd deal with our troubles together," you said. "And I'm planning on keeping my promises, I always do, so..." you took a deep breath. "Let's face this together then, this is just another hurdle we have to go through together," you held your hand out to him. Seonghwa took a steadying breath now, and he accepted your hand.

"Together, then," he says. He pulls his coat from the back of his chair and wraps it around your shoulders. You opened the balcony doors and, right as questions started flying and cameras started recording, you and Seonghwa pushed through the crowd silently, finding security only in your hands that held onto each other so tightly.

Prominence will return for its third and final season soon.

FORGET ME NOT. › PRE-DEBUT ݃ 2017

SYNOPSIS. out of all things he could forget to tell her about.. it had to be this one, huh?

STARRING. jeon ‘eunseo’ eunchae .. jeon wonwoo

DURATION. 385 words

CW + NOTE. invasion of privacy & sasaeng fans + istg this was supposed to be fluffy what happened 🫠

“got the last minute jitters?”

“no..” his look tickles her enough to tack on, “okay, maybe a little bit.”

wonwoo chuckles, only to huff when his breath condensates his glasses. he tugs at his right sleeve, prepared to clean it. but before he can take it off, the accessory is already in eunseo's hands.

“knowing you, you didn't bring your cleaning cloth again.” after a few swipes with her spare, she puts it back on his face. he thinks about thanking her..

..until she pushes the frame right upon the bridge of his nose.

(can you blame her? it was too tempting to pass up on.)

the corners of his lips curl into a playful frown. “nevermind, i'm not going to watch your debut m/v.”

she lightly swats his shoulder before resting her head upon it. he thinks about doing the same, but settles with wrapping an arm around her waist, gently squeezing as he does so. and they stay like that for a bit, silence being their invisible companion.

“got any new advice for me?” eunseo mumbles.

the brunette ponders before settling with, “love what you're doing, and be good to your members.”

“why?”

“because after some time passes, they won't just be people you work with. they'll be your family too.”

all she does is hum. believe her, she understands what he's telling her (in fact, she's been bonding with the other girls ever since she found out who she was debuting with). it's just that there's something about hearing wonwoo's wisdom that warms her heart.

that, and she likes using his words to tease, “maybe they'll overthrow my main family and become number one in my heart.”

“hey-”

knowing what's about to come, she shuffles to the other side of the bench. unfortunately, that doesn't do much, for wonwoo's long arms mean he can still reach over and flick her forehead. but don't worry, he occupies her side again and kisses the spot.

eunseo takes his hand and holds her free one in a fist before raising it. “fighting!”

he mirrors her and adds his crescent eye smile. “fighting, eunchae noona.”

and neither of them notice the shadow lurking nearby. nor do they hear the clicks of the camera, indicating that their moment has been captured.

“i don't think so, eunchae.”

Helloooo:)

May i request a Twice reaction to their Fem! s.o being protective of them?(like in a healthy way, not possessive)

Have a good day:3

a/n: i was so excited when you sent me this because it was super early that i got this from when i posted everything else.

hope this turned out okay!

Masterlist

TWICE with a protective s/o

TW: mentions of sasaengs, mentioned worries about toxicity

CW: none! :)

fem!reader, race unspecified :)

Park Jihyo

when you first showed her your protectiveness, she was a little worried that you might end up being overbearing

but as time went by, and you were super chill about her living her own life, she realized that you weren’t someone she should be concerned about.

you were perceptive to her feelings, so the second she seemed uncomfortable, you would shoot a nasty glare at whatever was making her feel so

usually it was sasaengs

sometimes it was her stage outfits

the glare was always the first warning

if the glare didn’t work on people, you’d wrap an arm around her as a second warning.

if those warnings didn’t work, you’d start responding in place of Jihyo, your tone flat and dismissive

she thought it was hilarious

it eased any anxiety she might feel

because The Glare can’t really work on an outfit,

you would usually offer her your jacket, or would carry a small blanket around to cover her legs with while she sits

you always made sure to ask if she wanted your jacket or the blanket, giving her a choice of rejection

she’s an independent adult, and you treated her as such

you’ve got her back, and she feels safe when you’re around.

Im Nayeon

i feel like nayeon would be protective of her s/o as well,

so you being protective wouldn’t faze her.

it’s just natural

you always asked her if she was feeling uncomfortable with something, and did everything you could to help her fix it if she was

you could honestly be her personal security guard, you were that effective.

you once practically threw a bitch that was getting a little too close, and she was scared at the time, but laughed a lot when the video surfaced

all of twice’s stage outfits are kind of ridiculous sometimes, and you often complained about the discomfort of not only nayeon, but the other members as well

you knew how uncomfortable clothing that showed a lot of skin could be — especially short skirts,

so you empathized, even going to managers to ask if it was really necessary for the members to wear certain things

she felt very loved when you showed her your protectiveness, and always made sure to make you feel loved, too

Yoo Jeongyeon

personally feeling very protective of jeongyeon right now, hope she’s feeling lots better

so you make sure to give her plenty of space, asking questions once, and not pressuring her for an answer if she couldn’t give you one.

you treated her the way you treated everyone else,

only really being protective of the way people spoke to and/or about her

if you felt something was uncalled for, you immediately told the person who said it off,

sometimes you ordered them to apologize,

sometimes you told them calmly that what they said wasn’t very nice, and gave them a disapproving stare

tbh, not many instances happened where you had to tell them off,

so you tried to express your care for her in other ways

like making her food, getting her tea, sharing your clothes

jeongyeon would tell you clearly if you were to cross a boundary, and you would immediately make sure to never cross it again in order to avoid being possessive

she felt comfortable with you

you never once made her feel bad for not liking something, or not wanting something to be done,

so she was able to openly communicate with you with little to no fears

Hirai Momo

momo liked the two of you doing your own thing for the most part

being independent together was nice

she liked being able to depend on each other for things as well, though

like emotional support, and someone to always have her back

one of her favorite things was seeing you get protective

it usually happened at the smaller things, not the bigger things because you couldn’t be around for many of the big things

like if a bee or a wasp got too close to her, you were right there to move her out of the way

if you saw her shoelace untied, you’d get down and tie it for her so she wouldn’t trip

if you saw someone look at her in a way you didn’t like, you would put an arm around her out of the need to make sure they didn’t try anything harmful

she wasn’t helpless, but it felt nice to show her she could rely on you if she needed to.

Minatozaki Sana

because of her cuteness, you often felt very protective of her

however, we all know that sana is not innocent

she’s an adult, y’know

anyway

at first, she was a little irritated at how protective you could be

you were far more obvious about it than subtle

after a while, she got used to it, and thought about how you didn’t question her choices

you didn’t even try to control her

she liked it a lot

you liked to latch onto her arm in public when there were a lot of people, and she enjoyed holding your waist, poking you in the side every once in a while to get a cute little giggle out of you

the display of protection she liked the most was you tugging down a skirt if you thought it was riding up too much

she liked that you didn’t want anyone to even see the safety shorts, especially when you explained that you just didn’t want her to feel embarrassed if someone posted pictures online

usually when you did something protective, you tried to make it playful.

every once in a while, you’d poke her butt when you pulled her dress down

Myoui Mina

you weren’t protective of her too often because she’s not a very social person,

but you took every opportunity you could

mostly on days she was on stage or doing other activities and you were with her

she stayed home the rest of the time, and while she used to be mostly alone, having you around was something much appreciated

because you were mostly in the safety of your own home, you usually were protective about comments on the internet

she would look through them for things she could improve on — some people left some pretty good constructive criticism

but there would always be hate comments

it’s something to expect from being in the industry

not everyone is going to like you, and the people who don’t can be very cruel

she had learned to mostly not take comments about her personally,

but if you happened to glance at what she was doing out of curiosity and found a comment you didn’t like,

you’d get a little peeved

you’d tell her that she should mute those comments so she wouldn’t see them anymore

this resulted in a very brief argument, where you quickly apologized for the misunderstanding

and explained that you just didn’t want her to feel bad

she thought about it a little and nodded, thanking you for the concern, but explaining that the comments didn’t really get to her

so you’d shyly request to read them with her, dragging the people that left mean comments through the dirt

it made her laugh

if someone dared to say something about her in front of you, though... all hell would break loose.

your protectiveness in public only occurred when the members were being mobbed

you’d hold her hand to make sure she didn’t get pulled away, shooting glares every which way.

your protectiveness made her laugh in private, and made her feel safe in public

Kim Dahyun

you only really protected dahyun when she was frightened or startled at first

which was quite frequent

but after a while, you found yourself saying you’d go before her in things she was nervous about

and then even in things she wasn’t nervous about

the urge to keep her safe was just really strong at that point

she was never actually bugged about it

she liked having a doting girlfriend to hide behind

she even stepped in a few times when you looked nervous, too, eager to keep you feeling safe

she would not be able to do much for you while at high places, though

so even if you were also scared, you’d just clutch her hand and shakily walk with her across area that seemed sketchy.

she gave you a kiss every time you stopped,

and that motivated you enough to keep going

after the hell of high places, she wouldn’t let go of you, trying to show you just how grateful she was by praising you and comforting you

you didn’t feel so scared at the end of it, though

she was grateful for your protectiveness, and was just as protective of you

Son Chaeyoung

she is tiny, so it would be easier to lose her in a crowd than others

she’s responsible enough to not get lost, but you liked to hold her hand just in case

our chaengie is playful,

and so sometimes she’s a little bit too focused on messing around with you to notice potential danger

like a car coming down the narrow road

so you’d tug her out of the way, continuing your conversation without another thought

she usually payed a lot of attention to her surroundings, so the fact that she didn’t realize there was a car was surprising.

you didn’t mention it because you were just keeping her safe, but she was very flustered

if the weather suddenly got colder than expected, you always had a hoodie and a jacket on you

as soon as you saw her shivering,

you’d shed your jacket and hoodie, handing the hoodie to her wordlessly before putting your jacket back on.

you didn’t want her to get sick

she never gave that hoodie back, but she always brought it with her after that.

when people had you on edge, you wouldn’t leave her side

if they were decidedly too much, you’d hold her hand,

and if you really didn’t like a person, you’d straight up just tug her away from them with you (if they followed, you’d totally bark at them)

Chaeyoung found your protectiveness romantic, and wouldn’t trade it for anything

Chou Tzuyu

Tzuyu can hold her own pretty well

she can be quiet, and intimidating, so you weren’t actually protective in a way that people other than her could see

you stayed next to her when you were together, keeping it normal looking if she seemed endangered by anyone

if she needed to get out of a situation, she’d tap your wrist two times and you would get her out of there by any means.

she wasn’t allowed to be mean because of her job, but you could be as mean as you felt needed

another way you were protective was reporting harmful comments and/or posts to JYP directly

always under an anonymous alias

sometimes the two of you would end up looking through rumors and laughing at the ridiculous ones

like a secret boyfriend

that one you screenshot and sent to Tzuyu, who sent it to the group chat for the TWICE members so you could all scoff at it

when you asked if she felt overwhelmed by anything you did, she denied it

she felt comfortable when she was around you. she found your protectiveness sweet.

Through everything pt.2

A/N: Here’s the part 2 of my Nmajoon x male Reader story! I hope you will enjoy it! Shoutout to @ben-c0c who beta read this part and corrected all my shit (*¯ ³¯*)♡

Words: 2.5k

CW // Talk about stalks and sasaengs

Part 1

Namjoon held your hand during the whole escalator trip and you tried to calm yourself down by singing some random song’s lyrics or trying to concentrate on the warm feeling of Namjoon’s hand holding yours but nothing seemed to do it and before you knew it you were at the desired floor.

As the doors opened you saw a muscular man was waiting for the doors to open, he was looking at his phone and looked up as the doors opened. Namjoon took the first step, still holding your hand and you had no choice but follow him.

“Manager-nim! Hello! Sejin meet (Y/N), (Y/N) this is Sejin our manager!”

You smiled at him, bowing a little bit.

“Nice to finally meet you! Namjoon talks quite often about you!”

“I can’t say the same but nice to meet you anyway!”, he put on a friendly smile, even though you could feel that he was tense and you could easily understand why. If you were going to proceed announcing your relationship the company could be in very deep shit. You pushed those thoughts away, concentrating on your boyfriend and his manager discussing.

“You’re going to meet the members and then we’ll go see the CEO and the PR so we can discuss this!”

“Fine by me! Even though I don’t have much choice.”

He laughed gently and you followed Namjoon and Sejin to where the other members were in a big room, discussing about anything and everything. You were quite intimidated when they all looked at you as you walked in the room. You flushed and put your head down, looking at your feet. You heard Sejin talking to the members, quickly explaining the situation to them and what was about to happen. The members stood up and came toward you, smiling warmly and you were standing there awkwardly.

“H-Hello… It’s nice to finally meet you”, you waved at them, trying not to avert your eyes from them.

“Hi! Nice to meet you! Namjoon talked so much about you!”, it was Jimin who talked first as he extended his hand towards you. You took it and smiled at him, you were happy they seemed to like you too. You were scared that they wouldn’t like you because you could cause the “downfall” of their group, but they seemed genuinely happy to meet you.

Each of the members went to shake your hands, as you grinned, feeling more at ease with each minute passing. All of you then moved, discussing with them stories about Namjoon or learning about each of your lives (both yours and the members’). You kept discussing until Sejin told you it was time for the meeting with the CEO and PR representatives.

You let out a shaky breath, trying to appear not too worried but Yoongi seemed to notice it and he came to give you a hug, surprising you.

“It’s going to be okay! I’m sure everything will go alright!”, he grinned at you, doing thumbs up too, making you laugh gently.

The other boy wished you good luck and tried to reassure you gently. Namjoon took your hand in his, smiling gently at you, tugging you to follow Sejin to the office where all the important representatives were waiting for you. After what seemed a walk through an endless corridor, Sejin knocked at a door and entered first then let both of you in.

Before stepping in, Namjoon kissed your cheeks, whispering a “love you” before entering the room. It was plain grey, with big cabinets filled with paper works, probably all the cases they had to “resolve” or hide from the public. In the middle of this oppressing place was a big desk where Lenzo Yoon sat, the CEO for business; you supposed that your relationship was business considering he was the one meeting both of you. Next to him 3 people were present, two women and a man who looked at you as you walked in.

You repressed a shudder, the atmosphere in this office was really negative and if it wasn’t for Namjoon, you would have run away. Lenzo greeted you in a professional manner and you did the same, smiling a bit. All the PR representatives presented themselves and you took a seat in front of them. The woman at his right was Kwak Joo-Ho, the man at her right was Park Yong-Nam and the other woman at the left of the CEO was Sohn Eunseo.

You were very antsy and probably appeared as a nervous wreck despite trying not to appear this way. You were sweating profusely, your shirt was sticking to your back and your hands were shaking, but you kept trying to calm yourself, thinking about good thoughts and fluffy memories with Namjoon.

“So, I’ve been made aware of why Namjoon had requested a meeting with me and the PR team. I guess you’re his boyfriend right?”, Lenzo Yoon spoke first, a serious look on his face.

“Y-Yes it’s me.” You croaked, your throat dry because of the stress.

“From what he told us, you’ve been dating for a good while, 7 years if I’m correct and that he wanted to announce your relationship to everyone and that you were absolutely sure about that.”

“That’s right sir.”, it was Namjoon’s turn to respond affirmatively.

“Alright. I’ll let Ms.Kwak Ho-Joo talk to you about our thoughts on it and how we could do that announcement.”, he moved his hand towards a woman with her hair put in a bun. She nodded and looked at you, opening a file.

“So, I’m sure Namjoon had talked to you about it already but the medias are going to want to know everything about you, they’ll search any kind of social medias where you are, know that sasaengs will look for you too, they’re going to invade your private space and probably follow you and try to get all of your personal info, like phone number, private email, workplace etc. We’re going to need you to not do any public declarations that could be detrimental to the group like their private information, so you’re going to have to sign a non-disclosing agreement to ensure that.”, she slid a paper across the table to you.

Truth to be told you were a bit hurt that they thought you would publicly release their info but you understood why they did that, after all they were often chased by sasaengs and some of them even already had their private information. You read the contract carefully, not wanting to miss any info and you took the pen that was slided to you and signed at the bottom of each page before giving everything back to Ho-Joo. She put the contract back inside the file and continued.

“About the press and the sasaengs, you might want to put your online account such as twitter and Instagram in private to avoid any hate comments that could arrive to you, and to stop them from maybe digging up some things that you aren’t comfortable with sharing publicly.” You nodded at that, it only made sense, after all you didn’t want to get a flood of hate, same for your friends and family.

“Also, to announce your relationship it won’t be a press conference but we’re going to do a lengthy post about your relationship and post it on all of the company’s social media. We’re going to have to redact it with both of you, even though we already have an idea of what to write we will need your approval for some things.”

You nodded as she explained that. You got a lot of information at once but it was only fair, considering what could happen in the minutes or hours following the statement, you also didn’t want to reveal more than necessary about you. You were realistic, surely you would get a ton of hate, after all BTS was one of the biggest bands of its time so it was only obvious you’d get hated on, but you knew that some people would support you too and be understanding.

Park Young-Nam pulled out a computer, you guessed it was to redact the statement. You felt Namjoon’s hand on your thigh and you looked at him, a bit surprised, he smiled at you and you felt a boost of serotonin as you looked at his dimpled smile. He never stopped to make you feel at ease even in a nervous-wrecking situation as this one and you took his hand in yours and tangled your fingers together.

You stayed around an hour in the office, writing the lengthy statement about your relationship, then they recommended you not to leave the building already, not that you were planning to, considering the bomb you would have just dropped for the whole world to see, and other recommendations about how to act and react to hate.

After everything was said, they told you that they would publish the statement in roughly ten minutes and that both of you could go back with the other members. You bid them goodbye and Sejin accompanied you back to the apartment where the other members still were. You quickly went on your phone, being careful of privating all of your accounts just like they told you, you almost forgot about it but luckily you did it before it was too late.

You sat on the couch with a sigh, and so did Namjoon. Taehyung was looking at you a bit worried, your hands were visibly shaking and it didn’t seem to want to stop anytime soon. He went and brought you a glass of water, which you accepted and drank in one go.

“Do you feel a bit better?”

“Yes, t-thanks a lot.”

“It’s okay. Do you want to play to keep your mind off it?”

“Yes that would be awesome, please.”, he grinned at you and turned on the Xbox and gave you a controller.

“Do you like Overwatch?”

“I don’t play it as much as before but yes I really like it.”

“Great! Let’s play it then, does that work for you?”

“Absolutely! Though I’m not very good anymore.”, both of you chuckled and kept discussing about the game as he turned it on. Soon you were joined by Jin and Jungkook who discussed with you about the game and did a pretty good job at keeping your mind out of the current mess on social media.

Meanwhile RM observed the four of you and he felt his heart singing at the sight of you being in great terms with the other members, but he couldn’t help but be worried about all the mess the announcement was going to create, you weren’t used to all the attention, well a little bit considering your job as a tattoo artist you had to have a public social media, but not of this magnitude.

Yoongi shook him out of his thoughts, putting his hands on his shoulder.

“You okay Nam?”, he looked pretty worried about him, honestly he could understand.

“I don’t know. I guess I’m really scared for him. And for us too obviously.”

“You know, both of you overcame a lot of things. Not everyone could date an idol for so long even if he was one, you’re also still together even with the distance and the time zones. I wouldn’t worry much, as long as you communicate, nothing wrong should happen. And don’t worry about us either, we’re big boys. If they can’t accept you being happily in love well they don’t deserve you.”, Yoongi smiled at him, trying to cheer him up. Namjoon’s lips rose a bit as he nodded.

“You’re right. But I really can’t help it, some people are wild, I’m scared they find his address and go and harass him in his own country too.”, he sighed in frustration. He hated knowing that some people weren’t able to respect the boundaries of public figures, even his parents weren’t sometimes immune to being followed by horrible people who wanted dirt on him or them.

“I understand but honestly, I’m not worried. You’ll get your happy ending with him, I’m sure about it. Come on let’s try to keep our minds off that. You should be happy it’s a respectable fine man you got there”

“You’re acting like an old man Yoongi, I didn’t know you were 50 years old.”, Namjoon chuckled, gently hitting his bandmate’s shoulder.

Yoongi chuckled too and they both stayed here looking at the other members and (Y/N) bantering about which character was the best in Overwatch. He observed your face, as cliché as it was, you were laughing at something Jin had said and Namjoon could swore you were lighting up the whole room with that blinding smile.

At the same moment a mess was created on Twitter and on every other social media where BigHit had published the announcement of the relationship. Namjoon’s phone didn’t stop vibrating and so did the other member’s (they were all logged on the BTS’ official accounts so obviously people were trying to get answers here too) but they all ignored it, in favour of turning it silent.

Obviously their next promotions weren’t going to be quiet so they would like to enjoy some calm. You all had fun for a good while until it was noon. You decided to order food and Namjoon used this time to call his parents, telling them both of you would sleep in the dorm that night (probably for the better at the moment).

The eight of you ate the food, discussing, and you were engrossed in a conversation with Jungkook and Jimin about tattoos. You showed them the big ass tattoos you had on your legs and talked about the others you had on your torso and they showed theirs too.

All in all, you were having a pretty good time with the members, until the inevitable moment where everyone didn’t really know what to say anymore and were just chilling. You were used to checking your phone and you shakily reached for it, looking at all the notifications you got. It seemed that some people found your personal Instagram account really quick and you already had a ton of notifications by people requesting to follow you. You were even @/ by some of them in their publications, some hateful, some pretty wholesome.

Same went for your tattoo shop account, you got a lot of followers and an alarmingly quickly growing number of comments under your last tattoo picture. You sighed tiredly and decided not to deal with it right now and closed the application in favour of playing a game. Namjoon looked at you and put his arm around you and kissed your cheek a few times earning a “Ewww” from Yoongi, whose eyes were shining with mirth as he did that.

You stuck your tongue out to him and went back to cuddle into Namjoon’s side, trying to ignore the growing number of comments and requests. You could feel your anxiety growing and just like earlier, your back was sticking to your shirt and you wished the situation wouldn’t be as scary as it actually was.

Generally speaking, how is mental health for idols? It's such a demanding life to have, I worry that it takes its toll.

Disclaimer: The following response is informed by my experience working in the music industry.

cw: mental illness, suicide

Generally speaking, mental health is terrible for idols.

From the moment an idol enters the music industry as a trainee, they are constantly molded and shaped into a perfectly manufactured product and are expected to perform a role at all times when they are in public. Most idols are acutely aware of this fact, and also are aware that innate talent can only get them so far in this industry - it’s hard work, sacrifice, and the will to do whatever it takes that really separates the wheat from the chaff.

But while the majority of idols understand the kind of work that it takes to become successful, not everyone truly understands what that level of success may mean.

The way “success” is defined in entertainment is largely evaluated by one’s fame. But the problem with fame is the amount of immense pressure that comes along with it, as well as the loss of freedom which we all take for granted.

The moment someone reaches the level of fame that certain idols do reach, they inevitably lose a great deal of the freedoms they once enjoyed. They can no longer go to a store, eat at a restaurant, go out with friends, walk down the street hand-in-hand with someone they love, go on a walk, or do anything at all, without being aware that they are always being watched by someone and their actions and every move will be recorded and scrutinized. Some idols may also have to deal with sasaeng, some of whom may actually be very dangerous.

I once worked with an idol who received poisoned food gifts from someone who claimed to be their fan - as a result, from that point on, they never again accepted any kind of food gift and we would have to throw away anything that we did not purchase ourselves. This same idol actually had been through a massive scandal which had resulted in some pretty scary death threats which not only targeted himself, but also his family - including his parents.

The threats escalated to stalking and constant harassment that made it so the idol could no longer even leave his house. It was a really terrifying time for him and his family, and it resulted in suicidal ideation which he luckily did not act on.

Luckily, this scandal did pass for him and he managed to survive.

But, there are artists who experience such extreme levels of fame that even though they may not ever experience a scandal, the pressure that is placed upon them by their management company, the fans, and the media is so enormous that it results in severe mental illness. Between the nonstop grind of schedules, the impossible hope of unattainable perfection, and always having to put on a happy face even beneath the crush of never ending criticism, many idols end up struggling with depression that often goes untreated. The ones who are victims of internet bullying tend to struggle even more.

Unfortunately, a number of idols/celebrities have succumbed to depression in recent years, including SHINee’s Kim Jonghyun, f(x)’s Sulli, and Kara’s Goo Hara, among many more. Since May 2020, Japan lost Miura Haruma, Sei Ashina, Takeuchi Yuko, and Kimura Hana. There is an epidemic of suicides in Asia, and its victims are largely all idols and celebrities.

It certainly doesn’t help that mental health is largely thought of as an afterthought in Asia, and often, is never discussed. There is immense stigma associated with requiring any kind of treatment for mental health, and many not only do not believe in the efficacy of mental health treatment, but they also do not believe in the very idea of mental illness, unless it’s something undeniable like schizophrenia.

As a result, there really isn’t adequate mental health care in Asia, and idols in particular, who are expected to always strive for unattainable perfection and perform perfection at all times, would never dream of sullying their so-called “perfect” image with the dark stain of mental illness. This only compounds the problem more.

The reality is that being an idol is hard - and being an idol with mental illness is even more difficult.

The fact that management companies aren’t doing more to acknowledge the mental health crisis that is plaguing the entertainment industry only serves to demonstrate the amorality of these agencies, who treat human beings like products, who rarely ever see the human behind dollar signs. It’s one of the reasons why I actually am glad to no longer be working in this space.

I do hope that one day, management companies will wake the fuck up and actually start giving a shit about their artists.

How many more have to die before they realize there’s actually a problem?

Music Monday #178: Eminem - Stan release: October 2000 genre: hiphop, horrorcore cw: drunk-driving, violence, murder-suicide, language

Oh you thought I was a salty bitch before? XD This week we're having a bit of a musical history lesson and digging out an iconic track from all the way back in 2000. And if that doesn't make you feel old yet, then just wait.... ;) Yes, yes, I am a constant surprise in the breadth of my listening habits.

It's a twenty year old song that went through various heavy edit versions because gods forbid MTV play a video that talks about drinking and driving or much of large swaths of the last two verses of this song. Hell, I was half surprised to even find the full length music video, since that was also regularly cut down for content. Even this, the most complete version available, is a cut from the original full version. And then there's this version with Elton John, in which Eminem toned down a couple of the lyrics for television (since this was at the 2001 Grammys). If you've ever wondered why I tend to react badly to the whole "stan culture" thing, this would be why: I'm old enough to remember that this is where the phrase started, referring to crazy stalker fans who were unhealthy in their obsessions with their targets. Twenty years later and too many people don't realize that "stan" is, or at least was when it entered the lexicon, the English version of "sasaeng" (Korean term for fans who go to dangerous and sometimes outright illegal lengths to get closer to their idols ... like breaking into apartments and tracking down non-idol relatives) and not meant to be aspirational. I know, I know, the meanings of words are allowed to change and drift over time, but the watering down of terms meant to be applied to extreme behaviors normalizes the less extreme versions of those behaviors and that's not always a good thing, you know? We need to be able to talk about things in degrees or people will collapse the thing to the most milquetoast, harmless meaning for the sake of comfort. When this came out, I was actually still listening to some terrestrial radio and already a fan of both Dido and Eminem separately, so hearing them both together was a whole thing all right. The plot of the song is obviously a bit extreme, but Eminem has long been known for his semi-autobiographical writing, so it wouldn't be surprising if something less extreme but similar had happened to him. Musically, "Stan" is pretty down tempo (so who knows why people feel the need to slow this down even more) with a pretty basic, repeating backing track based off Dido's "Thank You" (which was released like a week or two before "Stan" iirc) that makes this both mellow and melancholy, especially in combination with the rain effects. Given the subject matter, it's an appropriate mood. It's a guess, but I'm thinking the 'horrorcore' (which comes from the wiki page, not my brain) is probably more from the video than the song, though it could apply to both, considering. The whole run has that horror film vibe, between the run down apparently, the creepiness of the Stan character, the stalker basement, and of course the ending. I'm not even sure which is creepiest, the reveal of little Matthew at Stan's graveside or the last shot of the window next to Eminem. What do you think? Want to see Music Monday deep dives more often? Sponsor a song selection! For the low, low price of one (1) KoFi, I'll write up the song of your choice. ANY song of your choice. Yes, even that one that's been played to death. Yes, your obscure faves too. With sponsors, I can stop skipping weeks and falling further and further behind in the releases! Sponsor a current CB for the next open Music Monday slot (if I get enough, I'll open Song Sundays so waits aren't more than 4 weeks). Or sponsor a flashback for a Friday feature!

Prominence [WCh. 2.76]

Notes: I was planning on keeping this chapter short but… we’re reaching a turning point in Prominence very soon. Disclaimer: Please remember that this is an AU and a work of fiction, obviously the idols mentioned/written about in this story would never partake in these actions. The idols mentioned in this work are meant to be seen more as face claims rather than the actual idols themselves.

Feedback is greatly appreciated!! Thank you for reading!

12 March 2022

"And that is why I think Yangyang being in close proximity to (Y/N) is a danger to your relationship," Wooyoung, slightly out of breath, slams his hand against the wall, the last of eighty-two slides projected onto it sporting a rather large red 'X' over a picture and you and Yangyang and an equally large green checkmark over a picture of you and Seonghwa.

"Dude, just say you don't like him," Yeosang grimaces.

"He broke them up once before! I won't let it happen again!"

"That wasn't Yangyang, though, right?" Jongho shifts in his seat. "That was hyung's crazy stalker."

"I should've called the cops earlier," Seonghwa buries his face in his hands.

"So I guess, if anything, technically, it was hyung's fault that they broke up in the first place then," Jongho points out. The silence following, somehow, was so loud. Seonghwa could only clear his throat.

"It was all just a huge misunderstanding, we already talked about it," he clarifies.

"So then you two are officially back together?" Hongjoong asks. Seonghwa hummed quietly, tapping his finger against his arm. Immediately, he thought of the brief conversation you had on the phone just hours earlier and finally nodded.

"Yeah, we are," he says confidently. But that confidence was quick to turn into surprise when the sound of poppers resounded around him and confetti fell on his face.

"Thank god!" Mingi cried out, practically tossing the party popper behind him in his excitement.

"I was so worried I'd have to pretend we never met," Jongho sighs.

"Everything is falling into place," Yeosang whispers quickly.

"We don't have to hang out with her in secret anymore," Wooyoung grins.

"You guys did what?" Seonghwa asks while swiping the confetti out of his hair.

"None of your business," San lightly taps Seonghwa's arm with the party popper.

"Wait, before we celebrate more, can you go back like twenty slides?" Yunho raises his hand and glances down at his notebook. Wooyoung does so. "I think this is a huge stretch, Woo," He points at the slide with the end of his party popper.

"What do you mean?" Wooyoung crosses his arms defensively. "Read the lyrics!"

"They're lyrics??" Yunho shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head.

"That he wrote!"

"Um, fact check," Yeosang raises his hand now while staring at his phone, "Yangyang's not on the lyricist credits."

"People lie, I do it all the time," Wooyoung huffs. "Look, look," he slams the pointer against the wall. "She's a keeper, but I just can't keep her, she be running when I try to get deeper. She's slipping through my fingers, and I try hard to please her." Wooyoung is met with silence. "I'm talking to imbeciles."

"Wooyoung, we have lyrics that talk about similar things that we say all the time, we don't mean them," Hongjoong shakes his head.

"Okay! Even if he didn't write them, he could still feel them!"

"Nah, Woo, I think this is a huge stretch too," San shakes his head.

"None of you appreciate my efforts to keep this relationship together!" Seonghwa, before he could stop the fight, grabs his phone right as it started to ring.

"Why is Mark calling me?" Seonghwa slid his thumb against the screen and held the phone to his ear. "Hello?"

"Hi, honey!"

"(Y/N)?!" The other members of ATEEZ fell silent and froze in their spots. Wooyoung accusingly pointing toward San, San in Mingi's chokehold, Yeosang about to shut the laptop, and Hongjoong trying to hold Yunho back, all the while Jongho was preparing coffee in the kitchen behind them with the kettle stuck mid-pour.

"Speaker! Put it on speaker!" Wooyoung whispers loudly. Seonghwa only shot him a pointed glare and shook his head.

"Yeah, so, uh, funny story, I may or may not have lost my phone."

"Someone stole it!" Yangyang's voice, although muffled by the distance from the speaker, was clear.

"Someone stole your phone?!" Seonghwa stood up immediately.

"Who stole mom's phone?!" Wooyoung gasps and Jongho's mug overfills.

"Mom? Wait, not now, what happened?" Seonghwa ran a hand through his hair quickly. You explained the situation to him. "What? And they just... let them in?"

"I know! It's insane, and now I'm freaking out! There's nothing incriminating on it, I think, wait, I take it back, I take it back, oh shit, I'm done! They're going to release all my videos!" You spoke rapidly. "What's going to happen if they find Mark's NCT Smash or Pass video?!"

"I think that's the least of your worries right now, love. Wait, what's your password? I'm sure it'll be fine, right? It's not something easily guessable?" Seonghwa walks to his room, despite the protests of the other members, and closes the door behind him.

"Not something just anyone would know, that's for sure, and it's one of those really long passwords too," you explained. "Had to change it because Yangyang accidentally set his face for my face I.D., asshole."

"I heard that."

"I don't care. Either way, we already called the cops and we sent them the location it's been stuck at, so I'm sure I'll be getting it back soon, but I just wanted to let you know," you explained.

"I'm glad that it got smoothed over, maybe someone accidentally took it home?"

"That's what we're hoping, but because of it, we'll have to postpone Yangyang's going away party for later, I mean, to be fair, we did plan it too early, but it's just a bit much," you grumbled.

"Hey, it's alright, what matters is that you caught on to it quickly," Seonghwa pulls his phone away from his ear briefly to see the message that had just come in.

'Hi, hyung! Thank you so much for agreeing to catch up with me, I appreciate it a lot! The café is by my place, so we'll meet there'

"So, yeah, that's why I'm just going to wait to see if I can get my phone back before I buy a new one," you finished whatever explanation you started before.

"Are you sure that's alright though? I don't want you to feel worried or anything, what about your schedules?"

"Today was my last day for NCThree, and all my schedules with ANiMA won't start for a couple weeks. Who knows? Maybe going offline will do wonders for me," you laughed. "But, we're back at the dorms now and I'm pretty sure Mark needs his phone back, I'll keep you updated with everything!"

"Alright, take care," Seonghwa glances over his shoulder and sees the door cracked open, no doubt there were prying ears, "love you."

"Love you too!" Seonghwa walked back out to the rest of the members, who were sitting attentively.

"What?" Seonghwa looks amongst them.

"Shut the blinds, Yeosang," Wooyoung motions and switches seats with Hongjoong.

"My turn," Hongjoong grins, setting up his Prezi on the projector. "I call it... Operation Prison Time."

"Hyung, respectfully, that name's kind of lame," Wooyoung frowns.

"Not the point right now."

"Why don't we rename it Operation Anti-Kyungjae?" Yeosang offers.

"It's supposed to be subtle," Hongjoong argues.

"Or even Operation Kill the Monster?" Yunho proposes.

"Absolutely not."

"Operation YNSH fanclub!" Wooyoung tries again.

"The fanclub isn't even involved. We're getting sidetracked!" Hongjoong refocuses the group. "It's a bit of a stretch, but I received some reliable reports that we'd have insurance doing this. The plan's simple, Seonghwa goes to Kyungjae's apartment, tries to get all he can evidence-wise, and leaves. If anything happens, there's already security on-scene since the investigation just opened so we'll rely on them," Hongjoong explains. "Then, we send in the pictures anonymously, and everything is well again," he finishes.

"Wait, who told you about the investigation?" Jongho chimes.

"Saeron told me?" Hongjoong said it as if it was obvious. "We were just catching up as friends and the topic slipped so since then she's been keeping me updated on it."

"Friends, huh?" San asks.

"She has a girlfriend?" Hongjoong clarifies.

"I knew it!" Mingi exclaims. "Wait, I thought she had boyfriend before?"

"Bisexual people exist, Mingi!" Yunho gasps.

"Wait, beside the point, hello? Saeron, who is in the most stalked group and unit, is dating? Even you and (Y/N) got discovered quickly," Yeosang gasps. "Respect."

"I know, right? I'm so proud of her," Hongjoong grins.

"Dang, I wonder how her mom will react to that," San hums.

"Why would you ask that, dude?" Wooyoung shakes his head.

"Well, she is my cousin," San shrugs. Again, the loudest silence.

"You're related?!" Wooyoung shouts.

"Yeah, she's like my second cousin twice removed or something like that," San says slightly defensively, as if he were expecting it to be obvious.

"Wait, so you weren't really meeting with (Y/N) in secret then, it was just you visiting your cousin?" Seonghwa asks. San nods.

"Yeah, our moms always tell us to check in on each other," San nods. "So, yeah, I knew about Sae's girlfriend before any of you guys," he says with a sudden burst of confidence.

"Who is it, then?" Mingi asks.

"Ay, yo, that's none of my business to be sharing," San seals his lips.

"We need to focus!" Hongjoong claps his hands. "We can deal with this sudden unexpected plot twist after (Y/N) is safe," he starts his presentation. "We were lucky enough that Seonghwa happens to have history with her stalker."

"It's always hyung," Yeosang scoffs.

"So problematic," Wooyoung eggs on.

"One of us should date her instead," San teases.

"It's not my fault an old acquaintance of mine is obsessed!" Seonghwa defends.

"Anyway," Hongjoong speaks over them, "those are the main points of the plan. But, we're technically doing this... well, alone. So if at any point you don't feel safe, Seonghwa, just run, leave, and don't risk anything," Hongjoong insists.

"I'm starting to have so many doubts," Mingi frowns. "Like... he's already stalking our friends, what if he does something dangerous?" He worries. At that moment, everyone received a notification on their phones from an unknown number.

'Go ahead with the plan. You have insurance.'

"Uh... should we report this?" Yunho asks, looking over at Jongho's phone to clarify that they all got the same message.

'I'm on your side. I also sent information to the club.'

"Oh! You're the one who sent us that creepy letter!" Wooyoung says to particularly no one. "Holy shit, yeah, we should report this."

'You should. Someone bugged the blonde one's phone.'

"Yeosang?!" Everyone gasped and Yeosang dropped his phone.

'The other one.'

"Yunho!" Everyone's attention turns to him and he frowns.

"Thank you, scary person who has all of our numbers and can hear everything we're saying," Wooyoung smiles.

'I suggest getting a good security program installed on your phone. I can send you the one a lot of idols are using.'

"Wow, help a lot of idols?" Hongjoong asks.

'I have a lot of clients in the business.'

"Like?" Mingi asks.

'Private information.'

"I figured," his shoulders slumped. "Well, hyung, good luck," Mingi offers a supportive pat on Seonghwa's shoulders. Yunho grabs the keys.

"Let's do this!"

"I'll report your phone," Hongjoong holds his hand out and Yunho places it in his.

"Use mine, meanwhile!" Wooyoung offers.

"Thanks!"

'Not that one.'

"Ah!" Yunho drops it.

'Tracker.'

"Why aren't any of you careful with your phones?!" Hongjoong shouts.

"Well, obviously, we didn't know!"

Elsewhere.

Kanghoon could only watch with bated breath. Strange how easy it was to resolve this compared to other jobs he'd taken on before, then again, you had an insane amount of luck. Lucky that you had good people supporting you, lucky you had someone already a step ahead of you, and lucky that those people had the resources to make this easy.

Honestly, he would've done it himself. But, he was curious how this would turn out. Curious to see if it would work or not.

Plus. He was getting paid for all of this.

"Well, I guess this means I have to get ready," Kanghoon stands up from his desk, shutting off the computer in front of him, and pulling his jacket on.

"Ah! hyung, you're here!" Kyungjae's eyes were practically beaming when he opened the door. Seonghwa only smiled.

"Yeah, I had to come visit my favorite junior eventually, right? Sorry, I've been so busy, hyung couldn't even help you move in earlier," Seonghwa stepped inside as Kyungjae allowed him to. All those years of variety practice have finally begun to pay off.

"Please, have a seat! I'll be right back! Sorry, I didn't think you'd arrive so soon," Kyungjae picks up a few scattered items in the room and runs off. Seonghwa, meanwhile, makes himself comfortable on the couch. Okay, go time. The only trouble was that everything looked like a normal apartment, if anything, it looked a little bare, almost right out of one of those design magazines. Aside from the bathroom, it was just a one-room studio. No doubt the couch he sat on doubled as Kyungjae's bed. Again, his phone went off and now an unknown ID flashed on the screen. He pressed his lips together and answered it.

Well, might as well. Seonghwa opened the drawers on the table next to him. Cigarettes, mail, and candy wrappers, but not much else. Even the drawers under it had nothing of note. It was just a normal apartment.

"Hello?" Seonghwa's voice was low.

"Hey, it's me!" Your voice graces him once again. "Sorry, I'm using Winter's phone, I'm waiting for her to get ready so we can grab coffee! Don't worry, she gave me her blessing to call you. But be warned! Ningning and Giselle are in the room too."

"Oh, that's fine. But hey, sorry, I'm a bit busy right now, but I can talk," Seonghwa continues to rifle through drawers.

"Ooh, what's up?" You asked.

"Well, now that I have you here, I'd might as well tell you," Seonghwa looks to the bathroom. No sign of Kyungjae. "I'm, uh... I'm at Kyungjae's place." You were silent. "I know I should've talked to you first about it but-"

"It's okay, but are you safe? There's no telling what he'd do to you."

"I mean, we used to be friends before, so I don't think he'd do anything too rash."

"Rash? You going to my stalker's apartment is rash, Seonghwa, do you at least have a plan? I don't want you getting hurt because of something that's my problem!" Your voice was laced with concern, and he couldn't blame you for it. "Look, I'm not mad, I'm just worried. Please be careful. Any sign of trouble and you run, okay? Let my company handle it."

"Okay, I'll be careful, I promise," Seonghwa says.

"Good, call me when you get home safe."

"I will." You hung up first. Evidence, he can't forget the reason why he was here in the first place. What's something, anything, that looks suspicious. Then, as if there was a spotlight on it, he got up and walked over to the bookshelf. Ominously, one of the shelves was obscured by a small curtain. Seonghwa looked over his shoulder to make sure Kyungjae was still doing whatever in the bathroom before pulling the curtain aside.

"Ho...ly shit," his jaw nearly drops. The entire wall of the shelf was lined with photocards, your photocards, all protected with sleeves and in pristine condition. Decorated on the shelf were every single one of your albums, specifically your versions. Photobooks, jewel cases, and even your magazine covers were there. Any single merchandise that had ever been released with your name or face was there. But, that wasn't even the most concerning thing. In all of your album covers with the ANiMA member or the NCThree members, the other members' faces were scratched out. Shivers ran down Seonghwa's spine while he took steps back.

"Everything alright, hyung?" Seonghwa was quick to turn around.

"All good!" Coast was clear.

"Sorry! This damn washing machine won't work!" After a few clangs of metal, Kyungjae is silent again with no signs of leaving. Seonghwa fell back on the couch and texted the picture to the group chat.

More evidence, what can be more incriminating than what he just saw? Sure, he's your number one fan, but to go as far as to make some shrine for you? He wouldn't do that even as a joke. Seonghwa felt like he was at a loss. At this rate, anyone could just argue that Kyungjae was a huge fan of yours. Maybe they really should just let the company handle it. Then, he heard the sound of something vibrating. He turned his phone over but, still, no texts or calls. Even Kyungjae's phone on the counter was silent. He listened carefully for where it was coming from. Then, he reached under the couch. Nothing. But he couldn't ignore his hunch. He got down onto the floor and shone his flashlight under the couch. Then, pushed against the wall, a shoebox. The sound had to be coming from there. Seonghwa reached under and pulled the box toward him. But, soon, he heard Kyungjae opening the bathroom door. Seonghwa sat on the couch.

"Sorry about that, hyung, ready to go?" Kyungjae asks.

"Yeah, let's head out," Seonghwa kept his voice steady and he stood up. Just then, a knock at the door. "You invited another person?"

"Uh... no," Kyungjae opened the door. A taller man stood before him, baseball cap obscuring his face.

"Package for Jeon Kyungjae?" The man's voice was gruff.

"I didn't order anything," Kyungjae makes a move to shut the door.

"Uh, it says it's from a Juliet?" Seonghwa's ears perked at that name. The air in the apartment stilled. "It's a big package, so we had to leave it downstairs, mind helping me bring it up?" The man continues.

"Hyung, I'll be back, it should be quick," Kyungjae rushes out the door. But the man remains for a moment longer. Seonghwa couldn't tell who it was under his hat. The man reached up and tipped the brim of his hat to him and shut the door.

Well, now's a chance more than ever. Seonghwa pulled the shoebox out and placed it on the coffee table. The vibrating started again and, when the box moved slightly on the table, it was proof enough that Seonghwa's hunch had to be right. He pulled the top off and, immediately, his heart stopped. In the box was a grouping of items. A crumpled pantyhose, lip brushes, lipsticks, a ribbon, bundles of hair, and, this one was the most important, a phone.

Your phone.

And the ID on it?

Liu Yangyang. Seonghwa took it and answered it, he wasn't surprised to hear Yangyang's voice on the other end.

"Ha! You finally picked up you sick motherfucker just you wait until I find out who you are-"

"Yangyang."

"I'm gonna- holy shit," Yangyang's end went silent. "Seonghwa?! You're the one who stole (Y/N)'s phone?! I didn't peg you for the obsessive boyfriend type."

"No, Yangyang, that's not what's going on here. I'm at Kyungjae's apartment."

"I fucking knew it! I told all of these people that Kyungjae was the one who took it but no one believed me!" Yangyang's voice was intentionally much louder, no doubt announcing it to whoever else was in the room. "Look, (Y/N) is out with Winter right now, but I bet she'd be so glad to know her phone's in safe hands. Still though, you're bold to have marched into enemy territory like that. You have my respect, always have actually."

"Yeah, I have to admit I got lucky, if a package for Kyungjae didn't arrive just now then I'd be in trouble. I found it in a box with a few other things."

"... What other things?"

"Uh..." Seonghwa listed them out, Yangyang remaining silent the entire time.

"Oh shit... oh shit... oh shit!" Yangyang cursed multiple times. "Seonghwa, you need to take pictures of those right now and call the cops. This is it! You got him!" Yangyang's voice had a new fervor in it.

"That's the plan," Seonghwa takes a picture of the box before closing it and shoving it back under the couch. "I'll drop by the dorms later to return it."

"You are a life saver, for all of us. There's shit on that phone no one is meant to see," Yangyang says. "Be safe and be careful!"

"Thanks, I will!" Seonghwa hangs up first, just in time for someone to bang on the door. Seonghwa opens it and is greeted by a police officer.

"You Park Seonghwa?" He asks.

"Yes, sir," Seonghwa swallows harshly.

"You're clear to go, we're just going to do a search on the place," the officer says. Seonghwa steps aside and a few other officers file in. Seonghwa only caught small parts of their conversation on his way out, but the words that stuck out to him were the ones he expected: Stalking, theft, and assault. Seonghwa shuddered again.

He used to know Kyungjae, who would've thought that he'd end up this way? Seonghwa was out of the apartment now, and he hadn't seen Kyungjae at all until now, seeing him being escorted into a police vehicle. Kyungjae didn't even notice him there, and the car took off before Seonghwa could say anything. But there was one thing that Seonghwa noticed. Leaning against the wall of the apartment with a cigarette in his mouth, the delivery man. His hat was still tipped downward, and his gaze was anyone's guess.

"Hyung! Are you okay?" Yunho's car screeches to a stop in front of Seonghwa. Seonghwa spared one last glance at the man before ducking into the car.

"I'm good, and looks like the cops got to Kyungjae before anyone else did," he says.

"That's good! One less thing we have to worry about," Yunho sighs with relief. "Well, where to next, boss?"

"NCT Dorms, I'll just drop off (Y/N)'s phone there and then we can head back."

"Yes, boss!"

Bonus:

"So, that's what's been going on with me, how are you?" You asked with a smile. Winter's cookie falls on her plate, Karina's jaw drops, Ningning's hands were clutching the mug tighter than before, and Giselle was just in general shock.

"Holy shit, girl," Giselle breaks the silence. "That's fucking crazy, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, I'm just putting faith in the system right now, but it really was scary, I think he cut off some of my hair once too."

"(Y/N), girl, you are so nice because I would've gotten violent," Ningning drinks her tea.

"And to think no one reported him for the longest time? You really are lucky," Karina frowns. "And lucky to have such a good boyfriend, wow."

"Oh stop," you grew bashful.

"Girl! YNSH is the trendiest topic among idols right now! I know you're keeping it on the DL now but we're all watching you two," Giselle says.

"Yeah, give us the details on that," Karina teases. "He a good kisser?"

"Oh god," you hid your face behind the pillow.
