P.S: I used my oc for this writing. Hope you guys love Riki 🥹💕.

( ꈍᴗꈍ)( ꈍᴗꈍ)( ꈍᴗꈍ)( ꈍᴗꈍ)( ꈍᴗꈍ)( ꈍᴗꈍ)( ꈍᴗꈍ)( ꈍᴗꈍ)
HOW THINGS STARTED
Let's just say that your a popular producer and Noze is a popular dancer/choreographer, both under SM ent.
And you being one of Kai's main producer while she's one of the main backup dancer.
It was funny how you guys met. You weren't really the type to talk to people, not that you were mean or rude it's just not your thing. You always try your best to mind your own business.
So one day when Noze was informed that there will be a group of trainees that she and Kai had to train, she was excited. She wanted the training session to be perfect.
As the session was about to start, Noze took the attendance of all of the trainees. Her brows furrowed realising that 1 more trainee had yet to show up.
At that exact given moment you on the other hand you peeked your head through the door, checking into see the power in the studio was on cus your recording studio had shut down suddenly.
"Ahh there you are!! You must be Jung Haerin. You know you should be on time for our next session." Noze said as she tugged you into the studio.
Mind you that you and Noze have never met before. And Kai wasn't present yet.
You were confused like literally confused. What was going on? Jung Haerin? But your Ishiriki?
"b-but I'm not-" "Ok everyone! Good evening. I'm Noze your trainer for today's session. Now everyone pair up! We're going to learn a duo routine yeah?"
All the trainees were paired up except for you, who was still deep in confusion.
"Hey, you don't have a partner?" Your only response was you tilted your head to the side like a lost puppy.
"I'm not a trainee-" "Come here you can be my partner~" Noze gave you no space for you to talk as she pulled you closer to her.
-"Ok everyone like this, 1- 2- 3- to the left and down up to right back front. Got it? Now try it with your partners!"
-Jihye turned her head to you. "Hey come on give it a try!"
-You could have danced, the moves were simple but, you weren't really built for dancing you know. As someone whose skilled in lyrics and beats dancing wasn't your thing.
-At that moment the door opened revealing another girl, she made her way to Noze and started to apologize for being late to the session.
-Now Jihye is the one in confusion.
-"So your Jung Haerin?" The girl noded. "Then who are you?!"
-Finally she gave time to reply. "Just like I have been trying to tell you I'm n-"
-Again you were interrupted, this time by Kai himself. But it was a relief seeing him as you were close with him.
-"Heyy guys I'm here, Omg Hey Riki what are you doing here? Didn't know you knew how to dance hahaha." Kai knew about your ability to dance and he was messing with you.
"Jeongin oppa~ ok let me explain I'm not a trainee here. God finally."
"Ok and? Your one of my producers? Why would you be a trainee?" Kai looked at you with knitted brows.
-Jihye's eyes opening in shock as she realises.
"W-wan so your not-" "Nope I'm not a trainee here, it's nice to meet you I'm Damian Ishiriki. One of SM.ent's and Kai's main producer."
Kai bursts out laughing his guts off realising what had happened before his presence.
You were so done, and just walked out without waiting for a reply.
Jihye was embarrassed. She than understood after Kai had explained. She felt bad for not having listened to you.
After the training session, all she could think about was you. Were you mad at her? Did she scare you?
She decided to pay you a visit the next day. With a piece of your favourite cake as a sign of her apology.
The next day she went to your studio, she's heard that your always in there. Arriving to the company at early in the morning and leaving late at night.
Jihye knocked gently on the door a few times waiting for a reply...a few seconds passed as she was about the knock again the door opened revealing you.
"Hi? How can I help you?" "Hey Ishiriki right? I'm Noze, uhm you know yesterday haha, I was wondering if we could talk? Just for awhile ~"
You couldn't say no to her, she looked somewhat kinda cute asking you like that.
"uh ok, sure come in." You opened the door wider for her. You closed the door behind her and let her sit at the empty chair besides yours Infront the P.A. system panel.
"Ok so first all I'm really really sorry for have listened to what you wanted to say yesterday. I really mistook you for a trainee. You just looked so young and cute I thought that you were a trainee. I'm so sorry please forgive me? Please accept this cake if your not mad at me anymore."
She did a little bowing gesture from her seat while offering you the cake. You just giggled while accepting the cake.
"No way! You got me a mango cream cheese cake? Hahaha no worries at all I'm not mad. It was a just a misunderstanding. And besides that you shouldn't be apologizing, it should be me. I should have knocked before entering. And Jeongin opah told me your a 97 liner? I'm a lot younger than you~"
Noze looked at you nodding, and took a few seconds admiring you. Then her head shifted to the screen Infront of you.
"ooh what's that?" She had questioned about your current song in progress for Taemin's comeback. You we're close with many artists from SM and Hybe.
"ah that's the song that I'm currently working on for Taemin opah's comeback. I shouldn't be really asking or telling this to anyone but would like to hear a snippet of it?" Jihye giggled and nodded.
"God I would be honoured ~"
And that's how your friendship with Jihye began. Both of you shared many things about eachother that day.
(◡ ω ◡)(◡ ω ◡)(◡ ω ◡)(◡ ω ◡)(◡ ω ◡)(◡ ω ◡)(◡ ω )
WHO CONFESSED FIRST/HOW DID THEY CONFESS
-The one who confessed first was Noze obviously. Miss gurl was head over heels for you since day 1 but was afraid of getting rejected. So she decided to take things slow by befriending you.
-Would probably need a lot of coaxing from her friends to muster up the courage to confess her feelings for you.
-About 5 months into the relationship, Jihye invited you over her place. You thought it as a normal movie date between friends. But you were wrong.
-The moment you stepped in her apartment something felt off. You could feel the weird tension from Jihye.
-She had set out a selection of your favourite snacks and drinks on the table.
-The movie started to play but only you were paying attention. Not her. Her attention was all on you only you.
"Riki?" "Yes Ji?" She loved the nickname you gave her.
"there's something I wanna talk about." You took the remote from the armrest and paused the movie looking at her.
"look Riki, I like you. Like I love you. I wanna tell you that your such a nice girl who had won my heart from the first day itself. I don't know what else to say rather than ask. W-will be my girl?"
She looked down immediately on her lap as those words came out.
"oh Jihye..."
Your words were making her anxious.
"I would love to be your girlfriend." You threw yourself on top of her trapping her in a hug.
"I never knew you were the one who was gonna confess first."
Again you made her confused. 'confess first?' what does that mean?.
You leaned in and pecked her lips then got up, you quickly grab a letter from your back pocket handing it to her. Making your way to the door.
"well it's getting pretty late, I should be heading home now unnie. I'll text when I get back."
You left her, on the couch. She was still in massive shock. Did you just kiss her? She opened the letter and gave and read it. You were also confessing your feelings for her through the letter.
Noze got up running around her apartment in excitement shouting. It was a good thing her neighbours were away on vacation or else someone would have gotten a noise complaint filed.
-THE END-

Hello! Just want to say again that I'm glad I found your blog, your down-to-earth commentary, especially about the business side of it all, is very much appreciated :)
Hi. Thank you for letting me know, I'm glad you find some more down to earth posts useful. In part, I run this blog to offer an alternative in fandom experience.
Thing is, we, as k-pop fans and as people who don't work in showbusiness or South Korea, don't have enough knowledge, experience or inside information to have a strong educated opinion on most of things when it comes to idol companies and their executives. We can have opinions as customers - I like this music, this promotional strategy works on me, these outfits are ugly, this concept rocks -, but not as business analytics. Especially considering how much media play, false information and difference in cultures we face.
However, nowadays everyone has the illusion that they know better, that their opinion and feelings are valid when it comes to any topic. And spread and defend their opinion like it is the ultimate truth.
I've recently come across a twit starting with "it appears that" and ending with "for sure". In a span of a few sentences the fan offered an imaginary scenario and finished with a "this is truth". Of course to "prove" that SM is evil, heh. Such baseless statements easily play on fans' love for their biases, evoke an emotional response, call to arms, they give an answer to "Who is to blame?!", provide a target for unleashing frustration and anger.
When one solo-stan blames our bias, we can call bullshit because we know how things really are. When a fan blames Chris Lee or SM, other fans are ready to accept the words as believeable. Either because they share the sentiment, or have no own opinion on the matter, so any will do. If everyone around says the same thing, it should be true, afterall? That's how our brains are wired: follow the majority, agree with the tribe, mirror everyone's current emotion.
We can't see the inner works and we don't know the inner rules, but we can see the results of labour and sometimes a reflection of things.
When I came to k-pop, I knew SM as the company that overworks its artists, has lawsuits with them, is super strict. Broken in two halves TVXQ and EXO with half of its members gone weren't a good representation. So when I started to get to know NCT better, I started to wonder if I was lied to or that something had changed in SM (the latter). Neos were taught how to songwrite, SM persisted with good quality music for NCT despite the group not taking off right away, artists not looking slavelike, there was SMstation and interesting projects.
Sure, I can observe bad work: poorly prepared concerts (Link), constant failures with album production (omitting Doyoung's name, boring designs for 127), tasteless stylists, etc. However, I also see good work: artists flying first/business class and living in 5 star hotels, being given opportunity to go to the beach, museums, to enjoy sightseeing in new countries; opportunity to explore one's creativity (soundcloud, NCTLabs, solo performances for Link); SM giving artists second professions (MC, variety host, model) that will aid professional longevity (Doyoung hasn't finished school and doesn't have a degree, but I'm not worried for him, even if SM collapses, he'll always find a job. Same for Taeyong, he came as a blank page, now he is a songwriter and a producer, he can even become a choreographer); neos progressively being given more choice and say, their opinion being consulted and their ideas being implemented once they gain enough experience (Golden Dust story, Taeyong making his own setlist for his concert, Doyoung saying Unity should not have solo-stages, Ten choosing the mood and genre for his solo, etc).
Most importantly, I can see many friendships between neos and producers/managers, and that Haechan and Doyoung, who experienced all of SM's downsides personally and not once, continue to like the company. Meaning, the good should outweight the bad. At least for now.
Fans learnt the name of Chris Lee and continue to blame him for everything to this day, although he doesn't own any shares in SM and has stopped being a CEO a year ago. He is a token scapegoat.
Should I blindly trust fans or should I go read Wikipedia, interviews and listen to the guy himself? In situations like these I always choose the latter.
Sure, I can't tell if he evades taxes or participates in shady business, and what neos think of him (aside from Doyoung calling him "hyung" in public and not being afraid of getting punished for it), but I can see he was the person who overlooked all the early NCT songs (we have "Limitless", "Cherry bomb" thanks to him); created SMStation and SMClassics (say thank you for "Try again", "Star blossom"); found Dem Jointz ("Kick it", "Punch", "Sticker") and multiple other songwriters who now work for SM; brought to Korea the idea of songwriting camps, in which Kun participates nowadays and where he befriends foreign creators; invested SM money into a publishing company (and not a winery or a hotel business), which means SM artists will be secured to have a lot of songs to choose from in the future, and Korean young producers will have access to the global market. He has been with SM close to 20 years, and he is evidently a music nerd, ergo he understands artists and their love for music. So why should I hate him? I have no proof of him taking money away from neos, but I have evidence he was very essential to formation of NCT and the quality of SM sound being maintained. On the contrary, I'm inclined to suspect the quality of albums (song setlist, production) is raising again because he is back to supervising A&R in SM.

Maknae/Noona Time!!
This little one shot takes place after the last Smtown concert in Tokyo. This was requested by an anonymous reader but whoever you are, thanks for the prompt and I hope you enjoy!!!
Tumblr media
Jaemin having enough of Jisung sulking shot to his feet, “PARK JISUNG!!! If you don’t get your butt up and talk to noona, I will text her right now and force the two of you to talk!!” 
Jisung turned and glared at his hyung, “Go ahead! It’s not like she’ll make time for us anyway. She’s busy with Sungchan and Shotaro!”
All the boys groaned as Jisung continued to bury his face into the pillow. 
I think I should give some background before getting back to the present. 
Moxy held a special place with the dreamies. When Mark wasn’t there, she was. Like actually. AG had their own dorms during the NCT 2018 and we all know how traumatic that time was for Dream. Moxy made it known to 6dream that her dorm room was always open whenever they needed. 
The boys took that seriously. 
Moxy became the 00 lines rock. Moxy proved time and time again that she was a safe place for them. They could come to her with anything. Jeno entrusted her with his feeling of being Dreams pseudo leader. Moxy was the only one who saw weakness out of Donghyuck. Renjun knew Moxy’s ears were open to any and all universe talk and Jaemin firmly made a place for himself inbetween Moxy’s arms. 
The relationship fostered between Moxy and the maknaes was something special. Moxy really took Chenle and Jisung in and gave them a home with her. Moxy gave them a place to just be kids in an industry that demanded them grow up faster than they should. The youngest members of NCT found their haven from the hectic life of an idol in Moxy’s dorm room where they had permission to invade at any time. 
All the boys got used to the attention but sooner rather than later things changed. 
They all knew Moxy was a busy person. Just like haechan and mark, Moxy was juggling promotions with two groups. Many times Moxy had to miss time with the dreamies just to keep things on track. And time got bad in the summer of 2022. 
Moxy was busy with 127’s tour, Queendom and AG promotions after winning Queendom. She and the ladies of NCT were booked and busy. That meant nct’s maknaes lost time with their precious noona. But a light shined at the end of the tunnel
The light came in the form of the SMTown family concert. The only time all SM artists got to perform together on one stage
Jisung had a plan. They were gonna stick to their noona like glue and finally get the time they’ve been missing. 
But nothing can just go right the first time around. 
Despite Moxy being the quietest member in NCT, she had a bleeding heart. Anyone who needed help could find a helping hand in Moxy. Jungwoo found his place in 127 with Moxy help. The relationship between Moxy, Sungchan and Shotaro quickly became a precious ship within czennies. Fans loved the two new members who followed Moxy like little ducklings with their mom. 
Sungchan and Shotaro don’t perform much (and whose fault is that SM) so performing in front of fans for the first time in a while was nerve racking. Moxy had been at the sides since Shotaro found out he would be choreographing a dance performance with Sungchan and the three newest SMrookies. Moxy was there for him every step of the way. She even learned the choreography so if any of the boys needed help they could come to her. 
The day leading up to their group's first performance together, Moxy was so busy. As much as she tried, time wasn’t friendly to Jisung and Chenle. Usually the three have Maknae/Noona time but by now Moxy had missed three hang outs and her boys were getting impatient. 
So the two planned to corner Moxy, refusing to let her go until after the Tokyo concerts were over.  The final nail in the coffin for jisung was on stage during the encore, Now was his chance to catch Moxy and not let go until they were back in korea. Moxy was walking by him. Jisung reached out his hand, right in front of her face. 
She brushed past him to reach for Shotaro, Sungchan and the rookies.
She ignored him. 
For the sake of the hundreds of cameras filming them from every angle, Jisung held in his reaction and vowed to sulk to his heart's content back at the hotel. 
And sulk he did. 
Jisung showered, got changed and planted his face into one of the pillows on his bed. He stayed there for hours. Chenle had called in the hyungs after his attempts to get the maknae out of his funk failed. 
Now it was time to call in the big guns. 
The hyung line plus Jaemin filed out of the room leaving the two maknaes alone. Soon enough, a knock was heard. 
“You gonna get that?” Jisung, professional sulker, didn’t even flinch. Chenle rolled his eyes, walking over to the door. 
Seeing Moxy’s concerned eyes, chenle sent a thank you to the heavens for meddling hyungs and let Moxy in. The oldest in the room had to hold back a laugh at jisungs prone figure lying plank style on the bed. 
“I was told that a maknae was sulking and I was the only one who could fix it. Anyone wanna tell me what's up?” Moxy was met with silence. 
“Jisung feels neglected because you snubbed him for Sungchan and Shotaro.” Chenle explained for the prone Jisung. 
Moxy took a seat, picking up Jisung’s feet to make room, “Is that true Jiji. Did I snub you?” Moxy started rubbing small circles into Jisung's ankle hoping to coax Jisung out of the pillow. Moxy tried to hear what jisung said but his words were muffled. 
“Could you turn over and say that Jiji?” Jisung huffed and flipped over roughly. He almost pulled his leg of moxy reach but thought twice. The AG leader smiled, continuing her ministrations. 
“I said, ''You haven’t just snubbed me.” I haven’t seen you in months. You missed maknae/noona time for three weeks now and today it’s like you saw thru my hand in a rush to get to Sungchan and Shotaro.” It seemed like the boy had more to say but his words got cut off by Chenle. 
“All the dreamies have missed you, noona.” Chenle’s may have looked relaxed but Moxy could see how much her absence has affected the two maknaes. She didn’t mean to ignore them but things had been hectic. But that was no excuse for letting her boys down. 
Moxy leaned over and grabbed Chenle’s hand, dragging him over to the other bed so she could hold both of the boys hands. 
“Noona is so sorry. I never meant to ignore or snub any of you. I may have been busy but that’s no excuse.” Moxy pushed Chenle into the other side of the bed, the younger letting out a surprise shriek. Moxy crawled into the space between the two boys. 
“If this ever happens again, I give you both permission to slap some sense into me. I never want either of you to doubt how important you are to me, okay?” Moxy rested her head on Jisung’s chest. Jiusng and Chenle wrapped their limbs around their noona in a hug they didn’t plan on letting go. 
“Like literally?” Chenle yelped when Moxy pinched his arm. The three began to catch up. Time passes by like a snap. Before they knew it, the trio were asleep in a cuddle pile. The last thought that crossed Jisung's mind was missed you noona.

📝 haechan journal
🌿 Entry No. 2: Ramble on Haechan's Solo Activities Let me just rant because I'm so disappointed about how SM's managing Haechan. It's so unfair. I don't wanna feel sad the whole day so let me write.
Tumblr media
I don't even know where to start. I don't want to seem ungrateful because 2022 is such a busy year for Haechan, and it's a really great year for his growth as an individual artist, but the way SM is managing him is just downright frustrating.
I think we can all agree that Haechan is a talented person. He sings, he dances, he raps, he creates his own music, and he can choreograph, among others. Talent-wise, he's up there among the most deserving Neos for a solo. Not even a solo album, just a solo activity he can add to his resume or whatever. Adding the amount of work they exert for the NCT brand to the criteria, you narrow down that list of Neos but Haechan remains, and he's on top.
This year, we got his solo activity which is also his first OST, Good Person (2022). We got his first solo magazine cover for star1's July 2022 issue. He didn't get to perform a solo stage for NCT 127's The Link because he had little time to prepare, but we had Love Sign (plus the dance break he choreographed) and NYCT. This is great. We got a lot from him and he has new things that he can call his own.
But if you look at it within the context that Haechan debuted in 2016 and for 6 years, he had nothing solely to his name, this is just the bare minimum. This, and the fact that he exerts thrice as much time and effort into the NCT brand, only to get crumbs of what others get.
Then you see new people coming in and new opportunities for them, and here's an original member from 2016, one of the backbones of the brand, and you can count on one finger the opportunities that SM let him have. I cannot help but feel envious because I know he deserves more than what he's getting.
Tumblr media
This came to mind again because during a fansign yesterday, he was asked about the song cover he promised months ago. I'm not sure if he's still pertaining to the song cover, but he said that he has something recorded. Unfortunately, they couldn't shoot the MV for it yet because they lack time.
For so long, sunflowers have been ridiculed for asking solo activities for Haechan. Nonfans say that perhaps he just doesn't want solo activities, he doesn't have offers, or he's too busy for it.
Tumblr media
First and foremost, it's Haechan's dream to be a singer-songwriter. I believe there are two types of idols in Kpop: (1) those who are Kpop idols because they genuinely want to sing and dance, hence, traversing the soloist path in the future, and (2) those who are Kpop idols by name, just gaining momentum, until they can jump to another field in the entertainment industry.
Without a doubt, Haechan is the first one. Fans know this. He's mentioned it on multiple occasions. It's also the reason why he released Love Sign and NYCT. He's also mentioned (on multiple occasions again) that he wants to release a solo album AND HE SHOULD.
It's bullshit to say that he doesn't want solo activities when he talks proudly about Good Person, about Love Sign and NYCT, even about the cover.
Tumblr media
Second, I can't fathom the audacity of people, especially nonfans, who claim that he has no offers. Music producers want to work with him. Unconfirmed, but he was being scouted for variety shows but SM declined it. He's the emcee they usually go to for NCT content yet he didn't emcee for any music shows, aside from those special shows where he was invited as a special MC.
The thing that I'm most angry about was his supposed Rolling Stone Korea interview that sunflowers alone won for him. Fans spent money to secure that interview because it's a magazine focused on the music industry, and figured that it would be a great avenue for him to talk about his music. But alas, the magazine, the company in-charge of the poll, and SM did not push through with it.
Tumblr media
Lastly, I think it shouldn't be on him if we're talking about the lack of time for solo schedules.
Sfs understand that since he's in three active units, his schedule is much tighter than the rest. Sadly, while he's spending time and effort for brand comebacks and promotions, the members from the units that are currently not promoting have time to do career-related stuff that they want. It may be as simple as song covers, random dance covers, etc.
We understand this, even before stanning Haechan. It's just frustrating that when SM can lessen their workload, especially cos Haechan has been continuously working since 2019, they still choose to pack his schedules to the brink.
Full album comebacks and repackage album promotions, on top of concerts and world tours happening within the same timeline. It's insane how SM cares so little about Haechan's health and well-being. The way he is working is unethical.
Sure, he loves his work. Haechan is just happy to sing and dance, to perform in front of a crowd. But for the same crowd to see him grimacing in pain and squeezing parts of his body that hurt is heart-wrenching.
[SM, there is no shame in having one of Haechan's units come back in the first quarter, the other during the third or last. Give the middle of the year to non-Haechan units so he can rest. The world tours can be evenly spaced out. In fact, the fans will understand a mini album release specially in the midst of two world tours.]
Tumblr media
I don't blame the other Neos for having opportunities that Haechan does not have. I am just frustrated that because SM cannot manage their groups efficiently, someone has to sacrifice the formative years of their career working their bones off.
He's approaching his 7th year in the industry. Since he wants to become a singer-songwriter, it is just right that he starts building the foundations of his career as early as now, but because SM is shit at management, he has to tire himself physically and mentally instead.
What's sadder is that I don't think he knows we want his solo as much as he does. And that's why we keep reminding him!!!
I'm speechless whenever he talks and it seems like he doesn't know how many people are waiting for him and how many of us are ready to support him the moment he as much as mumbles the word "solo",
I hope he knows because honestly, I will wait for him. But I just wish that the things he's doing now are more beneficial to him, and not just for the brand. I need a legit return of investment for all the years he's worked for the brand. Let me be frank, if he's in any other group and any other company, the higher-ups will be at his beck and call.

Our Family | Chapter 7
Tumblr media
Pairing : Idol!Jaehyun x makeup artist!Reader
Genre : angst
Warnings : mention of cheating
Wordcount : 1.5k
taglist : @thejeongjaehyun @mooneaj @xxxx-23nct
[series masterlist] // [previous] [next]
~
Jaehyun is busy with their new comeback promotion. He barely comes home or either comes home late, like 3 in the morning, then he will be out again at 6.
You always text him asking what time he is coming back home but you always get either “no still practicing” or “I’ll be home late, you can sleep first” and he always replies at around 11pm and you are mostly already asleep because of your pregnancy. You feel fatigue.
After your “almost miscarriage incident”, Jaehyun barely touched you or should say as he doesn’t have any time to touch you. SM just told you at they are having a mega project in 4 months and need you to be in their makeup department. He almost lived in SM. You know Taeyong is strict about their dance, their angle and their tidiness. So you do not blame Jaehyun for not coming home, it’s his career just like how much you like being a makeup artist.
But a few days ago when you were doing the laundry, you saw a lipstick mark on Jaehyun’s tshirt. You know you shouldn’t doubt Jaehyun, but who else wouldn’t doubt when they saw a lipstick mark. Maybe some staff left it by accident? Yes it must be like that, it’s an accident.
Today you saw the lipstick mark on Jaehyun’s tshirt once again when you were doing laundry.
You try to convince yourself that it’s just an accident, then continue your chores. You still thrust Jaehyun, if you precipitate to question him, maybe your marriage might break down.
Tonight he came home.
You woke up with the door cracking sound.
“You are home?” You ask sleepily
“Yeah.” He just answered and went into the bathroom.
He finishes showering then comes back to bed. When you feel him lying down, you move closer to him. Your hand travels to his crotch but what you get is only him saying this.
“(Y/N) I’m very tired. I still have to be up at 6.” He said impatiently.
“It’s okay you don’t have to do anything, i’ll do everything.” You said, reached into his pants but he held your wrist.
“(Y/N) I said I’m very tired, it’s not about what you do or I do it, it’s that I’m really very tired please let me rest ok.” He said then turn his back facing you.
You felt so heart breaking so he, rather touch others, but not you? You are already not attractive enough for him? You turn your back facing him as well and sink into your sleep.
You wake up once again without Jaehyun being at your side, you are already used to it. You had scheduled for Red Velvet today, so you quickly washed up, then went out. After they finished shooting, they asked if you want to have a drink together. You are very close with Red Velvet because you are always assigned to their group so you and Red Velvet become more intimate.
“Hey (Y/N) did something happen between you and Jaehyun? He stayed up late practicing a lot recently. One day I saw him still practicing at 12 midnight.” Joy said.
“Yeah I know, they are having their comeback promotion now and SM just informed me weeks ago they are having a mega project. They assigned their makeup department to me, maybe that’s why he’s being so late.” You said and smiled.
They know you are Jaehyun’s wife and you tell them you are pregnant after your first checkup. You always update them about your pregnancy also.
“But I saw he was with a girl th-“ Joy said but Wendy stopped her and looked up at me nervously.
“W-what? Is Jaehyun with a girl?” You ask
“He’s with a girl but maybe she is their choreographer. They are practicing with her?” Wendy said trying to calm you down.
“No… there’s a lipstick mark on his tshirt…” You say with watery eyes.
They are all stunned and don’t know what they should say.
“Hey, you think too much, don’t listen to Joy. Jaehyun will never cheat on you, okay?” Wendy tried to calm you down.
“Did he… find me not attractive anymore…” You said sadly
“Am I getting fatter? Am I out of shape?” You frowned.
“Never think of yourself like that (Y/N), you are as pretty as always.” Irene said, holding your hand.
“Let’s go watch a movie alright, (Y/N) stop thinking about it ok?” Yeri said.
“Ya Let’s go, let’s go.” Wendy trying to cheer you up.
After the talk, you go watch a movie with Red Velvet and also the 6 of you shop around the mall, you bought some maternity clothes. You're about to go into a lingerie store to buy some new underwear because you need new underwear since your breast got bigger too, the one doesn’t fit anymore but when you see a figure that looks a lot like Jaehyun, you quickly tap on Wendy’s shoulder.
“Is that Jaehyun?” You asked
Wendy looked over at the girl and boy, then shook her head.
“That’s impossible, he’s practicing in SM rite now. You thought too much (Y/N).” Wendy said then pulled you into fitting room with her.
Maybe you are thinking too much or maybe Jaehyun is really cheating on you. You wanted to call Jaehyun but Wendy stopped you.
“Trust me, he will never cheat on you, now enjoy shopping ok?” Wendy said.
You nodded and continue your shopping with them.
~
It’s February 14th today. Yes, Valentine’s Day and Jaehyun’s birthday.
You [9:41am] : don’t be home too late tonight, it’s your birthday ❤️
Jaehyun [13:18pm] : Sorry I’ll be home late I’m busy practicing
Jaehyun [13:18pm] : You should sleep first
You [13:20pm] : It’s okay I can wait for you ❤️
You did not get a respond from Jaehyun after your last message although you already expected.
You feel so empty being alone in this house, so you went to a nearby cafe to have something to drink.
“One latte please.” You order at the counter
“Sure.” The waiter says
You found an empty window seat, you sat down and start scrolling on your phone.
“Hi, is there anyone sitting here?” The man asked.
“Oh, no, there’s no one here.” You smiled
He sat down in front of you.
He notices that you are looking at some cake recipe on your phone.
“Sorry but no offense, are you looking for a cake recipe?” He asked.
“Ya yes.” You smiled
“Actually, I own a bakery shop.” He smiled.
“Oh really? Can you teach me how to bake a cake?” You asked excitedly.
“Ya sure, when are you free?” He asked
“Em, actually I need the cake today… are you free today?” You asked
“Ya I have nothing to do today.” He smiled
“Oh thank god, my house is just near by.” You said.
He nodded and you both went home together.
On the way back to your home, you both talked quite a lot.
“I still haven’t got to know your name.” He smiled
“My name is (Y/N)” You chuckled.
“Such a beautiful name, I’m Hwiyoung, nice to meet you.” He chuckled and held out his hand. You shake your hand with his.
“Just asking, are you single?” Hwiyoung asked.
“Haha I’m married.” You laughed
“Oh wow, as expected, beauties are always taken.” Hwiyoung chuckled.
“If I met you earlier, then maybe I'd have a chance.” Hwiyoung chuckled.
“Maybe.” You laughed and shrugged your shoulders.
~
“Wow, your house is big,” Hwiyoung said, mouth open wide.
“Is that so? But it’s always me at home alone.” You smile
“Your husband is not home?” Hwiyoung asked.
“He’s busy.” You smiled
Hwiyoung tells you the tips for baking cakes and more about baking cakes, then you both start baking.
“Wow you bake so well.” You clapped when Hwiyoung took the cake out of the oven.
“Of course, I have been baking for years.” He laughed.
You decorate the cake and put it into the refrigerator, wait for Jaehyun to come home.
“Thank you for teaching me how to bake. You are my love saver.” You smiled
“You’re welcome, hope you and your husband enjoy.” He said and left your house.
~
It’s already 7 at night, you change into your sexy lingerie you bought weeks ago and wait for Jaehyun. You watch some movies while waiting for Jaehyun, you don’t know what time it is but you accidentally fall asleep without noticing. You woke up the other day without Jaehyun’s figure at your side, and his bedside is still the same as last night. Or you should say he never came.
Your heart broke into pieces. It’s Valentine’s Day, his birthday as well. A very important day for the two of you, but he chooses to practice or maybe he’s celebrating with another girl rather than celebrating it with you.

Trouble In NCity? NCT’s Taeyong and JiHo Caught Up In Controversy
Tumblr media
January 15, 2022 By J. Mitchel (K!Today)
2022 has only just begone and yet there’s another controversy. This time however, the controversy is between two of NCT 127′s members. Taeyong and JiHo were already making headlines on New Year’s day, but it seems like they are back in the spotlight yet again. So let’s quickly get into what has been happening in the last few weeks.
New Year Dating Rumour
If you haven’t heard yet (sorry our coverage hasn’t been the greatest) on the last day of 2021 and the following days Taeyong and JiHo found themselves in the middle of a dating rumour.
The rumour sparked when a photo was posted onto social media of the two NCT members. In the photo Taeyong can be seen giving JiHo a kiss on the top of her head while they hugged each other during the MBC new year concert. Not much later a short 6 second video surfaced showing Taeyong supposedly whispering something into JiHo’s ear while they were still embracing each other. Many netizens deemed the interaction to be very intimate and were quick to speculate that the two were dating.
Luckily SM came out quickly to deny the rumours and Taeyong even commented about it on his Bubble.
“JiHo is like my little sister. [She/We] had a rough year so [I] wanted to comfort her and tell her next year will be better. Please don’t misunderstand. Though I don’t think I should apologise for taking care and comforting my members. We are close.”
Netizens dropped the whole affair soon after the statements, yet some people seemed s bit troubled by the situation still. They wondered who took the pictures and speculated that it could be staff or even idols present during the event. Some people even mentioned the possibility of sasaeng fans taking the pictures. JiHo posted a short message about this on her Weibo account.
“Are we not going to talk about respecting one’s privacy?”
After the message and fans’ concern, SM stated that they would be investigating the situation and condemn any further sharing of the picture and videos.
With that the situation quickly calmed down, and everything was going fine until a few days ago.
JiHo’s Jealousy Or Taeyong’s Favouritism
This time it seems that things took a complete 180. From potential lovers to sworn rivals. Taeyong and JiHo cannot seem to catch a break.
In the past week Taeyong has been trending a lot for his choreography of his collaboration song ‘Zoo’ with other SM artists. Tons of fans and others have been covering the dance on various social media platforms and have been praising Taeyong for it.
A few days later though, a video of JiHo dancing to NCT 127′s ‘Earthquake’ got leaked. The choreography seems different from the final result, yet some parts made completely made the cut - some dance moves even get featured in other NCT songs like: NCT 127′s ‘Favorite’ and NCT U’s ‘Universe(Let’s Play Ball)’.
The video seemed to originate from early 2021, with a blurry date in the corner as well as the background being the old SM building.
It’s not the first time JiHo has choreographed for NCT (Save - NCT 127) so the majority does believe that JiHo made the choreography and inspiration was heavily taken from her piece to make the final choreography for ‘Earthquake’ as well as for other songs.
The reason why this sparked controversy between the two members was the message attached to the video by OP:
“Taeyong makes one choreography for NCT and everyone praises him for it, meanwhile JiHo has choreographed for a group she was no longer a part of at that point (TWO TIMES might I add) and everyone just shoves it under the rug. I think JiHo is a way better choreographer (and dancer) than Taeyong, but she never gets credit. Taeyong does one thing and SM goes kissing his feet because clearly he’s their favourite. I’m sure JiHo has choreographed and written a lot more than we are aware of for SM and NCT but she never gets credit. I hope Taeyong enjoys his minute of fame while JiHo has to silently sit back and have people watch her choreography without them knowing she made it.”
This comment caused quite the stir when many fans of Taeyong came to defend him saying that it wasn’t his fault that his choreography went viral. Some even went as far as badmouthing JiHo. Some speculate that the idol herself leaked her choreography to steal the attention Taeyong has been getting.
In response to the allegations JiHo posted a heated comment on Bubble.
“If I were to post my choreography now people would call me a copy cat. I don’t need anyone’s validation to know my choreography is good. Either way my choreography was only a first draft, I honestly didn’t even know they would use it. Like with ‘Save’, I had no clue it would actually be used...  [Taeyong] choreographed ‘Zoo’ with Bada Lee, of course it will be used. She’s one of our choreographers after all.”
JiHo’s message didn’t get received positively by the public. Many people pointed out how it seemed like in her message JiHo was saying “Taeyong need validation for his choreography” or that the only reason Taeyong’s choreography was used was because he choreographed with Bada Lee.
When Taeyong posted “Ahh~~ Let’s just enjoy dancing, hmm?” on his Instagram story, fans continued to believe there was actually something going on between the two members with many blaming JiHo for it.
A few hours later JiHo posted one more message, an apology, in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese on both Bubble and Weibo.
“I want to apologise for what I said earlier today. My tone and wording didn’t match what I actually wanted to convey. I was a bit upset that people accused me of leaking a video to steal attention away from Taeyong. I did not post that video. I was never jealous of his succes, in fact I was really proud of him and thankful that I could be apart of the team that performed ‘Zoo’.
When Taeyong’s fans were being put against my fans on the internet, me and Taeyong were actually on good terms and unaware of how serious the situation had gotten. My words were never pointed to Taeyong as I never felt any negative feelings towards him. When Taeyong read my message he wasn’t upset, but he did tell me that other people could misunderstand what I was trying to say.
In the end I made a mistake and wronged many NCTzens. Therefor I apologise. I also apologised to Taeyong in case I might’ve hurt his feelings, even though he told me he wasn’t hurt by my words. I also apologised to Bada Lee, she’s a choreographer I very much respect and my words might’ve portraited my feelings otherwise. I will be more careful to word my feelings better in the future so that such a misunderstanding won’t take place anymore.
- Lim Jiho”
In the end everything is all good between Taeyong and JiHo. It’s unfortunate that so much negative attention has been casted on these two and hopefully it doesn’t set the tone for how the rest of the year is going to go. But it does look like JiHo and the group’s sasaengs have been working hard already.
Here are some of the fans’ reactions:

+Day 18 3:32PM
You were holding Mark’s hands tightly, talking happily about anything and everything. 
That was why you loved Mark; he made you feel so comfortable, you could talk to him for hours and never get tired. He’s someone who you would need in a friend group to make everything less awkward. 
“And so, Yeri fell and we all laughed!” you told him, laughing at the old memory. 
You used to work as a choreographer for Red Velvet, but after a while, you decided to stop since it was affecting your studies a lot. While working with SM, you met the boys, and that was how you met the rest of NCT. 
When you didn’t get a response from Mark, you turned to look at Mark, only to find him frozen, staring ahead. 
“Mark?” you call, turning to see what he was staring at. Your eyes widened when you saw Jaehyun and Doyoung crossing the traffic light. “Oh, fuck.”
“Shit,” your boyfriend cursed, “we need to go,” he tells you, tightening his grip on your hand. 
The both of you speed walk to the opposite direction, hoping his members wouldn’t walk the same path as the both of you. Mark let out another string of curses when he saw his members walking behind them. 
Mark suddenly pulled you into a random store, trying to lose his friends. He pulled you deeper in the store, hiding the both of you from the main entrance. 
Your boyfriend was standing so close to you, the proximity making you nervous. You could feel your heart beating quickly as your cheeks flush red. Your hands going up to press them against Mark’s chest, pushing him back slightly. 
Mark didn’t notice, too distracted on finding his friends. When he noticed that he has lost his friends, he pulled away from a breathless you. His hands smoothly pull yours away from his chest. 
“I think they’re gone— wait, why are you so red?”
+Day 24 11:22PM
You were laying on the couch, playing with your phone while your boyfriend worked on some music that he has been writing for the past few days. 
“Mark~” you whine, your eyes were still stuck on your phone. You just wanted to disturb him for fun. 
Suddenly the door of the studio opened, Taeyong stumbling in as he stared at you and Mark in shock. 
“What are you doing here?” Taeyong asks you. 
“Uh…” you drag out, turning to look at your boyfriend for help. He looked at you then he quickly looked back at Taeyong. 
“I was making a new song for our Japan stage and had y/n help me with the choreography and all,” Mark explained, letting out an embarrassed chuckle. 
That was a lie. Well, not really. Mark did need help with the choreography, but at the same time he wanted you to be there to accompany him. Your presence calms him.
Taeyong remained silent as his eyes went back and forth between you and Mark.
“Should I leave?” you ask awkwardly, looking at your boyfriend then back at Taeyong. When you didn’t get a response, you stood up ready to grab your things.
The older man shook his head, “no, no, stay,” he tells you, walking further in, “I just didn’t know the both of you were so close,” he says while taking a seat next to your boyfriend. 
You let out a chuckle, “we’re close, you guys just didn’t know,”
+Day 33 9:02PM
After Taeyong found out how close Mark was with you, he wouldn’t stop inviting you to the dorm to hang out with the rest of the boys. 
“So, what movie are we watching today?” asks Taeyong as he took a seat next to Doyoung. 
You and Mark were seating next to each other. Mark was sitting at the very end while Jaehyun was sitting on the other side of you. Mark and you was sharing a blanket, your hands placed on your lap. 
“Parasite?” suggests Taeil. 
Loud whines filled the room, “we’ve all watched it, Taeil-ah,” whined Johnny. 
“Y/n, have you watched it?” asks Taeyong, turning to look at you. 
You shook your head. You were told it was pretty graphic and scary and you hated anything that has got to do with blood. 
And Mark knew that, so he would always avoid watching scary movies with you. 
“Should we watch it again? Since y/n hasn’t watched it?” suggests Taeyong, looking at the members for confirmation. The rest of the boys nod their head in agreement.
“Hyung,” your boyfriend voices out, “I don’t think—”
“No,” you quickly deny with a smile, “let’s watch it,”
Taeyong shrugs and plays the movie. 
Mark bit his lip.
A few minutes later, you felt your phone vibrate, you noticed it was Mark who has texted you. You turn to look at Jaehyun, making sure he wasn’t looking. You lowered the brightness of your phone before opening Mark’s text message. 
Markie Pooh: will you be okay?
You turn to look at Mark, but he was staring at the TV screen with a straight face. 
You bit back a smile as you typed a reply. 
You: yes, don’t worry abt me :) 
Mark quickly looked down at his phone to see your reply before keeping his phone away again. Your boyfriend let out a cough before shifting nearer to you until your shoulders were touching. 
You tried to hide your smile by looking down before looking back up, trying to keep a straight face. 
Mark had already watched the movie with the boys when it first came out. He knew when there was going to be a bloody scene. 
So, before the scene started, he had secretly reached for your hand under the blanket. 
You felt his fingers slowly reaching for yours, letting his fingers lace with yours. You tightly grip his hands, not wanting to let go. When you saw the bloody scene, your grip on your boyfriend’s hands tightened as he soothingly strokes the back of your hand with his thumb, hoping it would calm you. 
His fingers on yours distracted you from the graphic show that was playing. You were smiling like a crazy woman as Mark continued to stroke your hand with his thumb. 
“Are you… smiling?” asks Jaehyun as he turned to look at you weirdly. His question made everyone in the room to stare at you. 
Your eyes widen, shaking your head profusely. “No, I wasn’t,”
Johnny nodded, “you did, I saw you,”
At this point, Mark had already pulled his hand away from yours as he stares at you with amusement.
“I wasn’t smiling! It was a scary scene, why would I be smiling?” you ask them, crossing your arms defensively. 
Donghyuck lets out a sigh, “I think we all know y/n just loves horror,”
Taeil nodded, “yeah, she feeds of dead people,”
“Excuse me?!” you screech, throwing a pillow at Taeil, “what does that— no I don’t!”
The boys let out a roar of laughter, amused at how defensive you were acting.
Markie Pooh: you like that, huh? ;)
You looked down at your phone, letting out a soft scowl before reaching under the blanket to pinch Mark’s thigh. 
Mark let out a quiet squeal as he pushed your hand away. 
+Day 49 10:01PM
You were listening to Mark talk about his day. You couldn’t help but smile at how adorable he was; his pouty lips and chubby cheeks which you so desperately want to pinch. 
“Babe, are you listening?” Mark asks with a frown, noticing how you haven’t moved for the past few minutes. 
You nodded, “yes I am, baby,” you replied. 
Mark grins, “okay,” and he went back to talking about his best friend, Donghyuck. 
After hanging out with the boys for a couple of time, you and Donghyuck became close as well. Maybe because he was your boyfriend’s best friend, but you and him just got along so well that the both of you even started texting almost every day.
“So, what did you do today, babe?” asks Mark, snapping you out of your thoughts. 
“Huh? Oh, well I didn’t do anything today,” you tell him, “I cleaned my house a little bit then I took a nap,”
He puffs his cheeks out, “it’s a good thing you didn’t go out today, the air quality is really bad.”
He was always taking care of you; it always made your heart flutter. Mark was always looking out for you despite him being busy himself. Sometimes he would forget to take care of himself which always resulted in you lecturing him. 
Mark was in the middle of saying something when someone barged in his room, screaming. 
“MARK LEE!” you recognised it was Taeil’s voice. 
Mark quickly hid his phone, resting it on his chest. 
“Ah, Hyung, what are you doing here? What do you want?” you heard him ask.
You decided to mute your mic, just to be safe. 
“Why? Can’t I come in and talk to you?” asks Taeil. 
You suddenly heard a loud huff from Mark, as his phone fell off his chest and onto his white sheets. You assumed Taeil was laying on him. 
“Ah~ get out,” whined Mark, pushing the elder off him. 
You heard Taeil click his tongue. “who are you talking to? Your girlfriend?” he asks, “MARK HAS A GIRLFRIEND!” yell Taeil as you laugh out loud. 
Luckily your mic was on mute.
“I don’t have a girlfriend!” groans Mark as he stood up to push his member out of his room. He quickly locked the door before jumping back to bed, grabbing his phone. 
You unmute your mic. 
“Hi,” you giggle. 
He let out a huff, but letting out a shy smile, “Hi, so, where were we?”
+Day 57 7:57PM
Mark entered your house after taking off his shoes. He quietly took a seat at the very end couch. 
It was hard for the both of you to visit each other especially with the boys around, so you decided to have dates at your place instead. It was a good idea since no one could come over and interrupt the both of you. 
“Are you okay?” you ask Mark, noticing how he was so stiff. 
He nodded hesitantly, “it’s just…”
You waited for him to finish his sentence. 
“-awkward,” he finishes, looking up at you. 
You laugh at his words, “why?”
He shrugs, “I don’t know! I’ve never been to your place.”
Amused, you scoot closer to your boyfriend, wrapping your arms around his, leaning up to whisper in his ear. 
“There’s no one else here, Mark.”
You liked teasing him. You enjoyed how he would freeze up at your words. Or when his cheeks would turn a bright red colour. Or how his palms would turn a little sweaty. 
Pulling away from you, he quickly stood up, shaking his head. “No, no, that’s not what we’re going to do.” He tells you, stepping further away from you as you looked up at him in enjoyment. 
“We’re here to watch a movie,” he says, “that’s all.”
He was convincing himself. 
+Day 69 4:13PM

Annoying boy: ily!! Bye bye 
You: see you later
+Day 74 2:36AM
You had one of your leg bent on Mark’s thigh, your hand resting on his chest. He has one arm around your neck for comfort. 
“Mark,” you sigh. 
Mark’s eyes were glued on his phone but let out a hum at the mention of his name. His fingers stroke your shoulder as a sign to assure you that he was listening. 
“We haven’t gone on a date in so long,” you say sadly, drawing hearts on his chest with your finger.
Mark put his phone down, “you wanna go on a date?”
You look up at him and nodded. 
When he made eye contact with you, he couldn’t help but press his lips on your forehead, “okay, but we can’t get caught,”
You nodded, wrapping your arms around your boyfriend’s neck, pulling yourself up so you could press kisses all over his face. Mark’s face scrunch at the ticklish feeling of your lips.
“tickles,” he giggles, pulling his face away from you. 
You pout when he pulls away from you. Your eyes slowly trail off his face to his hair; your fingers automatically going up to play with the black strands. 
Fuck, Mark literally just fell in love with you. 
He enjoyed the position that the both of you were in. You- laying on top of him while he had both hands resting on your waist, staring up at you lovingly. 
“I love your black hair, Mark,” you mumble, eyes stuck on the boy’s hair. 
“Yeah?”
“Mhm,” you nod, “never dye it any other colour,” you look down at him, “or I’ll get mad,” you joke. 
He laughs, “Anything for my girl,”
Your boyfriend’s hands that was resting on your waist, went up to stroke your back softly. He put a little pressure on your back, pushing you down to capture your lips in his. 
+Day 80 11:22PM
It was another movie night with the boys.
This time it was Donghyuck who had invited you over since promotions are over. 
You walked over to sit next to Mark, but you heard Donghyuck whine your name. 
“Sit with me~”
You let out a smile, sitting next to Haechan. The boy immediately grabs your arm, wrapping it around his shoulders before cuddling against you. 
Your met Mark’s gaze from across the room. You could tell he was pissed from the way he was nibbling on his lip and clenching his fist. He looked away, typing into his phone. 
You felt your phone vibrate, knowing it was from Mark. You didn’t bother checking the message because it was too risky, especially with Haechan cuddled to your side. 
✯¸.•´*¨`*•✿ ✿•*`¨*`•.¸✯
A few hours and lots of movies of later, the boys finally grew tired and decided to call it a night.
Since it was too late for you to head back home, the boys offered you to sleep over. You told them you would take the couch. They were a little hesitant to let a girl sleep on the couch, but you managed to convince them. 
It wasn’t like you would be sleeping on the couch anyway. 
Once you were sure that everyone was in their respective rooms, you quietly sneaked into your boyfriend’s bedroom. 
“Mark?” you whisper, opening the door quietly. 
When you saw the mop of black hair laying on the pillow, you smile, closing the door quietly, your feet padding towards the bed. 
You pull the blanket down so you could lay next to your lover. You rest your arm on his waist as you snuggle closer to him. 
“Hi handsome,” you whisper, letting out a giggle as you stare at his pretty face. A frown replaced your smile when he didn’t reply to you. “Are you okay, baby?”
Mark could only pout. You pout along with him, the hand resting on his waist going up to push away the stray hair from his face. 
“Why are you pouting?” you ask quietly, pressing a kiss to his pouty lips. 
He pouts even more, “why did you sit with Haechan just now? Why didn’t you sit with me?”
You bit back a grin that was forming, “why? Were you jealous?”
He frowns and shook his head, “no! why would I be jealous of Haechan?”
“Really?” you ask, “if you’re not jealous then I’ll sit with Haechan from now on,” you tease, your fingers now caressing his exposed chest. 
He shrugs, “fine by me,”
You suddenly stood up, letting his arm fall on your lap, “actually, I’ll even go sleep with him,” you continued to pester Mark, enjoying the way it was bothering him. 
“Hey!” he whisper-shout, his hands wrapped on your wrist, stopping you from getting out of bed, “You can’t do that!”
You chuckle, laying back down with your boyfriend, “I won’t, dummy,” you flick his forehead.
He lets out a satisfied sigh, pulling you closer until his cheeks were resting on the top of your head. 
“You’re mine. Mine only.”
+Day 89 12:35AM
The both of you were on facetime again. 
Despite being only 30 minutes apart, the both of you couldn’t meet; not wanting anyone to catch the both of you. Furthermore, you felt bad, since Mark had just finished practice, it would be tiring for him to come over your place. 
There was a sudden knock on Mark’s door. Your boyfriend hastily hid his phone and you naturally mute your mic. 
“You busy?” you heard someone ask, from the voice, you assumed it was Taeyong. 
“No,” Mark reply. 
“Were you talking to someone? Is it y/n?” asks Taeyong. 
Mark pretend to grimace at your name, “why would I be calling y/n?”
Taeyong shrugs, “we all kinda assumed you had a crush on y/n,”
“Ew,” Mark shook his head, “I’ll never like y/n,” he says, “she’s not even my type.”
You knew he was just saying that to stop the suspicions of the both of you dating but what he said actually hurts. 
“Really?” Taeyong questions, “we were so sure you would like y/n,”
“I swear, Hyung. Y/N isn’t even my type, her personality isn’t even my type,” Mark tries to persuade the older boy. 
Now that actually really hurts. 
You weren’t sure if he was just lying or saying the truth. 
You couldn’t bare to listen another second of their conversation, so you immediately hung up. 
Markie: baby
Markie: whyd u end the call haha
Markie: Taeyong’s gone call me back hehe
2 missed calls
Markie: why are you not picking up??
1 missed call
Markie: call me baaackkkk babe

Markie: I didn’t want to think you were ignoring me, but I feel like you r
Markie: did I do something wrong? :/
Markie: can you tell me what it is at least?
Markie: at least we can talk it out or at least I can apologize?
Markie: babe
You: why did you say that
Markie: say what?
You: yesterday
You: what you said about me
You: tht I wasn’t your type nd all 
Markie: call me
Few seconds later, you received a call from your boyfriend. You answered the call, placing your phone on your ear. 
“I didn’t mean what I said,” he quickly says, “I just wanted to convince him that we weren’t dating,”
You were quiet for a while; you could hear Mark’s heavy breathing. You knew he was stressed with work and all, and you being sulky definitely wasn’t helping him. 
You let out a sigh, “I know.”
“Was it too much?” he asks you. 
“No,” you answer, “I just, I was just overthinking it and—”
“I get it,” he cuts you off, “don’t worry about it,”
“I’m sorry,” you blurted out, “I know you’re really busy and stressed over work and I’m just making you feel worse by overthinking and all—”
“Hey,” he cuts you off again, “Don’t worry, I shouldn’t have said that.”
You couldn’t help but feel sorry.
“Sorry,” you apologised again. 
“Apologize one more time and I’ll end the call,” he jokes. 
+Day 100 8:35PM
Mark hid his hands behind his back, holding the small box in his hand tightly as he faced you with a cheeky smile. 
“What do you have behind your back, Mark Lee?” you ask, squinting your eyes at him suspiciously. 
It was your 100th day together, and since the both of you couldn’t go out to celebrate, the both of you agreed to celebrate at your place instead. 
Since Mark couldn’t make it special for you, he decided to get you a present, just to make-up for all the secret dates. 
“It’s a present,” he answers cheekily. “I got you something to make up for all the secret dates,”
You pout at his words, “I’m okay with all the sneaking around, Mark,”
Your hands going up to his jaw, your thumb caressing his cheek softly. Mark loves your touches; he couldn’t help but lean into your touch. 
Tilting his head a little, he pressed a small kiss against your palm, one of his hands reaching to grab your hands in his. 
“I bought it because I think you’ll look good in it,” he tells you, pulling out the box from behind. 
You gasp when you saw the Tiffany & Co. box. 
“Mark,” you exclaim, looking up at him, “that’s expensive!”
“You haven’t even seen it yet!” he laughs. 
He slowly opens the box, showing off the elegant 18k diamond necklace. 
Your hands went up to your mouth, gasping. 
“Mark Lee,” you shook your head, “you’re fucking crazy,”
He smiles, satisfied with your reaction, “do you like it?”
“Are you crazy? It’s beautiful!” you tell him. “But all I bought for you were $15 chocolates but here you are— gifting me an 18k diamond necklace!”
Mark giggles, pulling out the necklace from it’s box. 
“Turn around,” he murmurs. You automatically turn around, pulling your hair to one side so he could easily put the necklace on you. 
He swiftly place the pretty necklace around your neck, pinning it. You turn around to face him. 
“Pretty?” you ask him, tilting your head a little. 
“Gorgeous,” he responds, a smirk playing on his lips.
Just as you were about to reply, you heard a knock on your door. Your eyebrows scrunch in confusion, who would come over at this timing?
Mark frowns, “did you invite someone?”
You shook your head, “No, stay here, I’ll go see who it is.”
You stood up, walking to your door, checking the peephole, finding out who is on the other side of the door. You let out a soft gasp when you saw Donghyuck standing behind the door. 
You quickly kick Mark’s shoes under the cabinet at the front door then running over to your boyfriend. 
“Who—”
You grabbed Mark’s arms, pulling him up. “Fuck, it’s Haechan,”
He let you pull him into your bedroom with furrowed eyebrows, “why is he here?”
You shake your head, pushing Mark into your walk-in wardrobe, “I have no idea. Stay here, I’ll try to distract him, okay?”
You didn’t even let him answer, already rushing out, making sure to close your bedroom door. 
When you opened the door, Haechan immediately walked in, whining on how you were taking forever to answer the door. 
It has been 15 minutes and Haechan still hasn’t left and Mark was growing tired and sweaty in your wardrobe.
Baby Mark: is he still there
You: yeah
Baby Mark: fuuuck
Baby Mark: tell him to leave
Baby Mark: it’s so hot in here :(
You: I’m trying!! He just won’t leave
You: are you okay in there
Baby Mark: no
You: fine just get out of the wardrobe and stay in my room
You: sorry
You: make sure u lock the door and don’t make too much noise
Baby Mark: okay
+Day 101 2:34AM
You let out a heavy sigh when Donghyuck finally left. Closing your eyes tightly, you let out another heavy breath. You could finally sit down and rest. 
Oh shit— Mark!
You ambled towards your bedroom, twisting it open, realising it wasn’t locked. 
This little shit. 
When you walked in your bedroom, you were met with your boyfriend laying on your bed, hugging one of your pillows, asleep. Your heart warmed at the sight, you felt bad making him wait for hours when it was your 100th day as a couple. 
Walking closer, you climbed in next to him. Your hands caressed his hair and his pretty face. 
“I’m sorry for making you wait for so long,” you whisper. 
You didn’t know what made you so emotional, but you couldn’t help but tear up. 
You really didn’t know why. Maybe because he had gone out of his way just to see you. And maybe because he had to wait for hours just for you and in the end both of you couldn’t celebrate the special day. 
“You’re the best boyfriend I could ever ask for—” you choked a sob, a hand going up to cover your mouth. 
Taking a deep breath, you continue, “You do so much for me and I’m always messing up.”
For once, you were thankful that your boyfriend was a heavy sleeper. 
“I love you, Mark,” you mumble, your eyes scanning his face, appreciating everything about him. “Remember that.”
After wiping your dried tears, you slide next to him, removing the pillow that was between you two. Snuggling right into his arms, your head resting on his chest while his cheek was pressed on the crown of your head. 
“I love you,” you whisper one last time before falling into a deep slumber. 
+Day 124 7:28PM
The dome was filled with loud voices, everyone was holding their green NCT lightsticks. You felt out of place, especially when you didn’t have any kind of lightstick or poster on you. 
You nervously took a seat on your assigned seat, waiting for your boyfriend to come out. 
NCT was holding a concert after a while and Taeyong had given you free tickets to support them. 
Mark had actually gotten hold of an extra ticket for you and was about to surprise you but found out that his members had already invited you. He was a little bummed out about it but shrugged it off. 
The light dimmed and the crowd started cheering. The girls around you started squealing in excitement. 
Soon, the boys started performing. When your boyfriend’s face was on the screen, you couldn’t help but grin at his cute face. 
The fans next to you would squeal and gush at how adorable your boyfriend is. You were proud that he was your boyfriend, sadly you couldn’t show him off. 
At the end of the concert, the boys lined up in the middle of the huge stage. They started thanking the fans for coming and supporting them. 
“But I think Mark is really happy today,” Jaehyun suddenly blurted out, turning to face Mark. 
The camera started zooming in to your boyfriend’s face. 
Mark’s eyes widen , confused, “what, why? Why?”
“Because his girlfriend is here!” Jaehyun screams into the mic as the boys let out a string of weird noises. 
Mark froze on the spot as everyone went crazy over the statement. 
“Wha—”
“Okay, we will end this concert here! Thank you everyone for coming!”
Before everyone was even ready to leave, you had already run to meet your boyfriend back stage. 
Fuck, did Jaehyun actually say that?
You’re met with the sweaty boys laughing in the dressing room. 
“What the fuck was that?” you ask breathlessly as you scan each of the boys facial expression. 
“Uh oh, his girlfriend is here,” joked Johnny, staring at you with amusement. 
Mark turned to stare at the boys, “you guys knew?!”
“You guys weren’t very discreet.”
You were already standing next to your boyfriend, “how did you guys know?”
“You really think we won’t see the both of you holding hands in a public place?” scoffs Doyoung. 
Taeyong shrugs, “Mark never brings girls to the recording room.”
Your face turned red at Taeyong’s comment as Mark groans at his words. 
“And you think I wouldn’t see you guys holding hands under the blanket? Jesus,” sighs Jaehyun, rolling his eyes. 
“Fuck you,” Mark replies while Jaehyun flashes the middle finger to his friend. 
“Also, you talk way too loud y/n,” Taeil says, Taeyong immediately agreeing with him. 
“Or maybe the walls are too thin?” Taeyong questions. 
“Oh my god,” you whisper, embarrassed. “So, you guys heard everything?”
“Wish we didn’t,” shrugs Johnny. 
Mark had quietly reached for your hand, a habit he had whenever he’s nervous. 
“Also, I knew Mark was at your place, that’s why I came over,” laughs Haechan. 
You had let go of Mark’s hands to stomp over to the boy, hitting his back. “Lee Donhyuck! Did you know how long he had to wait in my wardrobe?!”
Haechan rolls his eyes, “oh please, you let him out because he was sweating.”
You let out a loud gasp, “you knew that too?!”
“Which idiot would put their password as 0000?”
“You went through my phone?!” you raised your voice, hitting the boy on the back once more. 
With furrowed eyebrows you frown and let out a sigh, “now what? Everyone knows Mark has a girlfriend,”
“I checked Twitter,” Jungwoo says, “some weren’t very happy but there are many who are supportive,”
Your frown deepens. You knew this would happen. It would affect Mark’s career badly; that was the main reason the both of you kept your relationship a secret. 
You turn to look at your boyfriend who was looking incredibly stressed right now. 
“Don’t worry y/n,” assures Johnny, you turn to look at him. “Mark is one of the most experienced and hardworking people in SM, I’m sure they’ll let you both off,”
You had your arms crossed defensively, “are you okay with this, Mark?”
You were worried for your boyfriend. 
You knew how much being on stage meant to him. He would do anything to continue performing. 
“I…I think so?” he says after a minute of pure silence. 
You pout slightly at his words. 
“I just wanna rest right now, I’m tired.”
The boys quickly agree with the younger. Everyone started standing up, grabbing their bags, leaving the room. 
You stayed with your boyfriend, accompanying him.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” you ask him again. 
He kept letting out sad sighs and it was concerning you. 
“Honestly,” he started, “I don’t know,” he turns to look at you. 
The palm of your hands automatically going up to stroke his back, attempting to comfort him. 
“I just… I just wanna be with you right now,”
You lean closer to him. “Okay.”
“Whatever it is,” he says, “we will go through it together.”

“I watched you from the walls for years, you really can’t embarrass yourself further in front of me.” With Scott Lang please :)
“I watched you from the walls for years, you really can’t embarrass yourself further in front of me.”
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes A THOUSAND TIMES YES
from this post
———————————————————————
Times were tough at the Lang residence. Scott wasn’t allowed to leave the house, his daughter was only allowed to visit on weekends, and worst of all, he worried about his future. How could an ex-con like him find work again? How could he possibly put behind everything he had been through in Germany? Often times, he sat on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, TV off, staring blankly at the wall.
Other times, he danced.
He wasn’t very good at it, but hey, who was watching? Scott would rev up his ever-growing 80s playlist, crank his speakers up to ten and let his arms flail and his legs go wild. For an hour and forty-six minutes, he would dance and sing and act out fight scenes he had choreographed in his head until he was just about ready to pass out.
Today was an especially stressful day. Cassie was sick and didn’t want to come, so for the first Saturday afternoon in a while, Scott was alone. There really wasn’t anything good on TV, and he had a nightmare the night before. If the good vibes wouldn’t come to him, he would make them himself.
He was maybe an hour into the playlist when he closed his eyes, spun around on one socked foot, struck a pose, and opened his eyes to the most confusing sight he had ever seen.
You were, in a word, fascinated with this human. For whatever reason, he never left the house anymore, which made borrowing close to impossible, but he was boisterous and goofy and just the right amount of weird. Eating cereal and crying at black and white Spanish movies at 10 p.m. was not normal human behavior, but it was normal for this one.
The dancing was especially entertaining. It was like a free show every day. The music was catchy and you had learned the words. Sometimes, you even danced with him. You discovered this crack in the old wood that allowed you to sit in its threshold and observe the human.
You were so caught up in the music that when Scott’s eyes landed on you, it took you a few seconds to realize what was going on.
Though Scott was staring right at you, he still couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing. A tiny person? In his house? He squinted — no, it wasn’t Hank or Hope. They didn’t appear to be wearing a suit, either. Just some makeshift clothing. Was this a new Avenger with shrinking powers, sent to spy on him? Was it the government?
For some reason, you weren’t very scared. Years of watching the human from afar told you that he was a very relaxed person. He wasn’t overly excitable and didn’t seem to have a malicious bone in his body. You certainly didn’t mean to be seen, but it also didn’t seem like the worst possible thing that could have happened. It almost felt inevitable.
Scott stared at you, mouth agape and a thousand thoughts swirling around his mind like a hurricane. He realized he was still stuck in a ridiculous pose, so he put his arms back to his side and straightened himself. He should have figured there were real-life tiny people. Why else would Hank want to build shrinking technology?
You were staring back, mouth also agape and equally fascinated by what was in front of you. But Scott didn’t think you’d break the ice, so it was up to him.
“Um... hi,” Scott said, awkwardly giving a small wave. “What are you doing in my house?”
You tilted your head. For a human, he didn’t seem to be very surprised at what he was seeing. You lifted your arm and grabbed onto the wood for support as you spoke up. “Uh... I live here.”
“You live here? Last time I checked, I live here. Oh, no, they didn’t take my house away, did they?”
“What?” you blurted. “Who’s they?”
“Woo didn’t send you here, did he?”
“Woo? Woo who?”
“Jeez, you don’t need to act so excited about it.”
“Hold up!” you yelled, throwing your hands up. Scott pressed his lips together. “What... what are you talking about?”
“You’re government, aren’t you? Here to keep tabs on me, make sure I’m not breaking the Accords?”
“Government?” You blinked in disbelief. “You think I work for the government?”
“Well...” Scott started to attempt an explanation, but couldn’t really find one. “Why else would you be here?”
“I told you. I live here.”
“...so you’re not government.”
“Oh brother,” you mumbled to yourself, taking an exasperated seat. “Um. No?”
“...You wouldn’t happen to be an Avenger, would you?”
“An Avenger? Am I missing something here?”
“Well excuse me for trying to come up with an explanation as to why there’s someone sitting on my wall who’s two inches tall!”
“Hey, I’m four inches, thank you very much,” you scoffed.
Scott ran a hand through his hair. This wasn’t going very well at all. You sighed and took a breath. You could understand why he’d be so flustered.
“No, I’m not government. Or an Avenger. I’m just... a regular borrower.”
Scott stared at you blankly, trying to piece together what a borrower could be, before it dawned on him and his eyes went wide. “Oh wow. You’re really just that small!”
“I didn’t think that was even in question.”
“Gosh, sorry, that’s really embarrassing of me.” He let out a laugh. “An Avenger. What was I thinking?”
His laugh made you laugh. “I watched you from the walls for years, you really can’t embarrass yourself further in front of me.”
“Oh, trust me, I’ve done a lot of embarrassing things in my life. Being put in a maximum security prison’s definitely up there. I’m used to small jails, you know?”
You gave him a quizzical stare.
“This ankle monitor is pretty bad, too, though I— wait a second. Did you say you’ve been watching me for years? ”
You gulped. You thought he either didn’t hear that part or didn’t care.
“I—um, I mean, I was just — I was speaking metaphorically—”
Scott’s expression immediately softened. “Woah, hey, I’m not mad!” He realized he was gazing down at you, and he lowered himself ever so slightly to be at your eye level. Now, he could see the way you gripped the wall protectively. “I’m just... confused. What do you mean you’ve watched me from the walls?”
“It means I live in your walls!” you cried, not realizing how shaky your voice had gotten. You steadied your breathing before continuing. “That’s what borrowers do. We live in the walls of houses.”
“Like mice?”
You sniffed a laugh. “Yes, like mice. Which I help keep away from here, mind you. When was the last time you saw a mouse around here?”
“Oh, gosh, I can’t even remember. Years ago.” You smirked and raised your eyebrow, and once it clicked, Scott’s eyes lit up.
“That’s so cool!” Scott smiled. You knew he was a quirky human, but even you were a bit surprised at how nonchalant he was being. “Do you use those little toothpicks that look like a sword?”
“There are toothpicks that look like swords?”
“Oh yeah!” Scott grinned. “They’d be perfectly your size, actually.”
“Huh. Y’know, that might actually be helpful to shoo away beetles and spiders.”
Scott grimaced. He had gotten used to ants, but spiders is where he drew the line. “Oh, gross.”
“It’s just a part of the job,” you shrugged. There was an awkward pause before you spoke again. “I, um. I’m sorry for startling you.”
“No, no,” Scott shook his head, “I’m sorry for making you listen to the same music all the time!”
“No, it’s fine, I... I actually kinda like it,” you blushed. “Usually, borrowers keep themselves hidden. Most humans aren’t as... entertaining as you.”
Scott smiled, not even realizing that maybe that wasn’t a compliment. It felt exhilarating just to have a face-to-face conversation with someone who wasn’t his family or was legally obligated to talk to him.
“You wanna come to the living room?” he asked suddenly. You furrowed your brow. “It’ll be more comfortable than sitting on that ledge.”
“Well, I can’t exactly sit on the couch,” you said slowly, meekly gesturing at yourself with your head.
“You can sit on the table, it’s fine! I’ve got snacks.”
“Snacks...” you repeated. Even though this went against every single borrower code you knew of, it felt stupid to pass up this offer. If the human wasn’t going to hurt you, then why not make him your ally?
“Sure, why not,” you said finally, standing up. Scott couldn’t help but stare at you in awe.
“Here,” he said, standing back up to his full height and sticking his hand out in front of you. “I can carry you there!”
“Oh...” you said, staring at the hand hesitantly. “I can just walk, you know—”
“Psh! That’ll take too long. Trust me.” You didn’t know why he would know anything about that, but frankly, his weird choice of words was the last thing on your mind. Scott took notice. “Oh, you’re... sorry, I didn’t mean to assume. It’s just right across the hall, we don’t have to go far at all. It’ll be fine.”
You gave him a skeptical look, but at this point, you didn’t have much of a choice. This is what you wanted, anyway.
“I guess this is the one drawback,” you muttered, keeping a firm grip on the wall as you lowered yourself onto his palm. “Humans can’t take no for an answer.”
“What was that?”
“Oh, uh, I—I said. Quite the view from up here.”
“Hah, yeah, I know!”
There it is again, you thought. That weird choice of words.
The trip to the living room was, as promised, short. You were only in his hand for about 15 seconds before you hopped off onto the familiar sight of the coffee table. The bowl of peanuts and candy was filled to the brim, as usual, but you supposed you should act like you’ve never been here before.
“So,” Scott said, reaching into the bowl and popping some M&M’s into his mouth before flopping onto the couch. “What’s your name? I bet you already know mine.”
“I’m (Y/n),” you said, eyeing the bowl. “Can I...”
“Oh, go ahead!” Scott smiled. He watched in delight as you grabbed a peanut that was larger than a football. You bit into it like an apple, and Scott could hardly suppress his grin.
“This is amusing for you?” you asked with a smirk. Scott immediately shook his head, but the smile was still present. “Yeah, I guess I probably look hilariously small to you.”
“Well... only a little.” Scott leaned back into the couch cushion. “So you’ve really been inside my walls this whole time and I had no idea?”
“Yup,” you said with a mouthful of peanut. “Been here for a long time.”
“How do you even live? Eat? Bathe?!”
You turned your gaze to the table. “You won’t like the answer.”
Scott thought about it for a moment, but it didn’t take long for him to connect the dots. “Oh. Oh.”
“Yeah,” you blushed. “But it’s either take crumbs off your counter or starve, so. I choose not to starve.”
“Well, you’re welcome to have dinner with me from now on. I cook just for myself anyway, it’ll be nice to have some company.”
“About that... why are you here all the time? You used to only be here at night.”
Scott sighed deeply. “It’s a long story.”
He seemed uncharacteristically upset about that, so you cleared your throat and pivoted back to what he was saying before. “You’d really let me eat with you?”
“Sure, why not?” Scott seemed genuinely surprised that you would even ask.
“I mean, this has gotta seem a little... weird to you, does it not? In fact, I — well, there are a lot of stories about humans discovering borrowers, and they’re not often pleasant. You... you don’t really seem to care.”
Scott pursed his lips. “That’s another long story.”
“Oh.” Jeez, what is up with this guy?
“I mean, if you’ve really been... in my walls all this time...” He shuddered before continuing. “Then you know how lonely it’s been around here. Heck, it probably gets really lonely all by yourself in the walls, too.”
You nodded.
“Well, I’ve got a lot of questions for you, and I know you’ve got a lot for me... I won’t force you to stay if you don’t want to, but I think — it might be nice to get to know each other, right?”
You gave Scott an almost incredulous look. Maybe all those human tales were just old folk stories of days past, meant to scare children into staying close to home. You were hardly nervous that Scott had any malicious intent. You just almost couldn’t believe this was happening.
“What about your daughter? Isn’t she supposed to be coming this weekend? I’d rather her, uh, not see me.”
Scott sat up a bit. “You know about Cassie?”
“Um. Lived here for years, remember?”
“Right, right. Uh, n-no, no, she’s sick, she’s not coming. Huh.” Scott shook his head. “Wow. You must know, like, everything about me, then.”
Your face flushed red. “I mean, yes and no. I don’t just sit and stare at you to pass the time. It’s-it’s actually pretty strange for me too. We’re not supposed to talk to humans. It’s kind of the big number one rule.”
“What normally happens?”
“Well.” You paused, looking up at Scott’s expectant face. It was hard to hold eye contact, and your gaze flickered back to the table. “It’s a long story.”
Scott huffed a laugh. “I get it. Looks like we both have our own baggage.”
There was a beat of silence.
“Look, if you wanna... go back into that hole in the wall, you can. I told you, I won’t make you stay. But the offer is always there. I’m probably just gonna order a pizza tonight. You ever had pizza?”
You pursed your lips. Should you really be telling him all the things you’ve stolen from right under his nose?
Scott sighed. Maybe this wasn’t the weirdest thing for him, but he knew he couldn’t say the same for you. Your sideways glances had grown increasingly nervous ever since he brought you to the living room. You carried yourself well, but it was clear you were uneasy about all of this.
Wordlessly, Scott placed his hand down in front of you. He frowned when you winced at it.
“It’s quicker if I just bring you back,” he said sheepishly.
You picked your half-eaten peanut off the table and cleared your throat. “I-I’m sorry. I think I underestimated how odd this would feel. You... you’re just, really different than the human I lived with growing up. In a good way.”
Scott smiled weakly. “Just wait ‘til you get to know me.”
You laughed as you climbed onto his hand. You sat down for balance as he stood up, unable to take his eyes off you. You stared straight ahead as he took the short journey back, and in a few moments, you were right back where you started.
Staring at each other.
“Well (Y/n), it was nice—”
“You know,” you said, raising your voice to cut him off. “I have had pizza before. But I’ve never tried ice cream.”
Scott gasped. “Never had ice cream?! Lucky for you, I’ve got some chocolate in the freezer— oh. Oh! You... you want to have some dessert later?”
You smiled amusingly. “You catch on quick.”
“Yeah, it’s a specialty of mine,” Scott said, stretching his arms in the air. “Gosh, it’s already 7:30. How about ice cream at 9?”
“I, uh, don’t have a clock with me,” you admitted. “Why don’t you just... knock when you’re ready?”
Scott chuckled. “Knocking on the walls to my own house? People’ll start to think I’m crazy.”
You blinked at Scott, Scott blinked at you, and you both burst out laughing. For a moment, you forgot that Scott was a hundred feet tall and he forgot you could fit in his palm. It shouldn’t have been that funny, but it was. It all was.
Scott wiped a tear from his eye and sighed. “Oh, man. Okay. I should order before they close. See you soon?”
You smiled. In between the bad jokes, the awkward silences and the fits of laugher, you decided all this weirdness was worth it.
“Yeah. See you soon, Scott.”

CHAPTER ONE: getting to know you
January 2nd, 2014
—"I DON'T UNDERSTAND, WHY do we need another member?" a voice asks, sounding upset. "everything is going great, the fans are happy, our numbers are higher than they've ever been."
"they were," sihyuk replies, sounding tired. "the numbers are steadily dropping," he sighs. "boys, your comeback was a success, is a success. but we need to keep that attention on you without a scandal and this is the best possible solution."
"you don't think this is going to upset the fans just as much as a scandal?" another voice replies, it's much softer than the first. you can tell that whoever's voice is it is at least willing to accept this new course of action as long as their fans stay happy.
"no, they might not take to it right away, but we all have to stay positive. you'll all have to stick up for them. understand?"
"yes, sihyuk," they chorus. after a few moments of silence one of the boys speaks up.
"why do you keep say they or them?" he asks.
"i— uh, i didn't realize i was..." sihyuk chuckles, he sounds nervous.
"sir, what are you not telling us?" the same voice presses, and you listens pressing yourself into the wall beside the door. if sihyuk is nervous, should i be? you asks yourself, but you don’t really have time to dwell on it because the door flies open, and you’re pulled by the wrist into the room.
you let out a surprised yelp, and stumble. "this," sihyuk says, smiling widely at the seven boys standing around the smaller practice room. "is y/n. she'll be the newest member of your group."
you immediately bow, and then look up. "hi,"
they all stare at you with wide eyes, and then sihyuk clears his throat, "alright. i'll leave you all to get acquainted while i take a call and then we can go over the plan for your comeback."
he slips out of the room, and they all refocus on you again. three of them look really upset, and the remaining four look deep in thought. you twist your hands together behind your back, and suddenly feels really self conscious, with all their eyes on you.
"hi," one boy says, he holds a hand out to you and you shake it. "i'm jin. i'm the oldest. that's namjoon, he's our leader, then yoongi, and hoseok, jungkook, jimin and taehyung."
"it's nice to meet y--" you start smiling, but are abruptly cut off by the boy jin referred to as jimin.
"you won't be with us for long," he says, his face completely void of any emotion. he pushes past you, swiping your shoulder as he goes. taehyung and jungkook send you dirty looks as they follow.
"ignore jimin, he's just bitter because the choreographer was really hard on him this morning. the other two are harmless, they just like to follow him around sometimes. they'll all come around." jin sighs, and guides you across the room to a couch. "how long did you train?"
"i've been training for five years, i uh, started under sm, but sihyuk scouted me." you reply, sitting down on the couch beside him. you look up to see the other three boys watching you, and listening. "what about you?"
"three years, i was scouted on my way home, and had just gotten off the bus when an employee convinced me to audition." jin chuckles, smiling.
"how'd sm scout you?" hoseok asks.
"a dance competition," you reply, folding your hands together. "sm was having a conference in the same building where the competition was being held, and they saw me practicing my routine in the hallway."
he looks mildly impressed, "you dance? are you any good?"
"i like to think so," you giggle, "i like to think my super power is being able to mirror what i've seen."
"care to demonstrate?" he smiles, teasingly challenging you.
you smirk, shedding your jacket and sweatshirt, leaving you in a baggy black eminem t-shirt. you stand up, and pull your jeans up a little while hoseok walks across the room to where the audio system is set up. he shuffles through some music, before his face lights up, and evil grin in place of the sweet smile he had moments ago. namjoon and yoongi both take a seat on the couch in place of you, to get out of your way and to get a better view of what's about to go down.
"do you need me to go slow?"
"nah, go for it."
the song kicks in and hoseok begins, you watch his every move silently, loosely mirroring his movements. you eyebrows knit together in concentration. once he stops moving, he smirks at you.
"you look confused,"
"au contraire mon amis," you reply, and hoseok's eyebrows pull together in confusion.
"she said 'on the contrary my friend'." yoongi says, "it's french.”
"how many languages do you speak?" jin asks, sounding excited.
"english, korean, japanese, and french. i gre—"
"hyung, not to be rude or anything but let's get this over with then quiz her, yeah?" hoseok says, walking back over to the sound system to turn the song back to the previous one.
you can see the smug look on hoseok's face, but you try to keep your own smugness from surfacing. you nod at hoseok, and the song starts. clearing you mind, you visualize every move he made, and execute it. your breathing heavily, when you hit the last move. you straighten your shirt, pulling it down so it's not riding up. you look to hoseok, who's mouth is hanging wide open.
"wow, you're really good..." namjoon says breaking the silence, and the other three nod along agreeing.
"back to quizzing you," jin says suddenly, clapping his hands together. "where were you born?"
"tokyo, but i grew up in france. my dad moved us around a lot for work," you explain sitting down on the floor, and trying to catch your breath.
"what about your mom?" yoongi questions, and jin shoots him a glare.
you laugh, waving a hand to dismiss jin. "she jumped ship after she had my sister, suki and i."
"suki...? oh my god, like the jeong suki?" hoseok asks excitedly, and suvi nods.
"jeong suki? why does that sound familiar?" namjoon inquires, his eyebrows knitting together.
"take me to london, paris, new york and la," hoseok sings, mimicking the little dance your sister does.
"take me anywhere and i'll be okay," jin shouts, jumping up, and beginning to sing the song. hoseok drags you to your feet, and you join them starting to shouting the lyrics and do to the dace.
"take me far away from here, and let's never return, let's get out and never look back, the only place we can go is up from here," namjoon joins in, and yoongi watches you silently from the couch, and you can tell he's trying really hard not to smile.
"take me to london, paris, new york and la, take me anywhere and i'll be okay! no more work, and a whole lot of play, things can only get better from here," when you finish singing, the four of you collapse on the floor in a heap of giggles.
"i think you're going to fit right in," yoongi says after a long pause, you smile at him, maybe there wasn't any reason to be so nervous...

Nct dream reaction to you surprising them at work?
-this is cute! thanks for sending it in! prepare for fluff
Mark
Tumblr media
Mark was overworked to the bone. He was having back to back comebacks from SuperM to NCT 127 to NCT 2020, working with NCT Dream again. You were worried he wasn’t going to remember to eat, remembering that one time Mark came home hangry eating all the food in the fridge. So, knowing him you brought him some watermelon and fried chicken so he could take a break for lunch. 
You walked to the SM building and they let you in (of course knowing you were dating Mark, you had come by a few times already) and went up to the floor where Mark was recording his rap. You peeked in the door knocking on it and the producer saw you, letting you in and you sat on the couch in the recording room. You listened to Mark rap beautifully following the melody perfectly. But, knowing your boyfriend he would record it again fifty times if he could get it perfect. When he looked up he eventually saw you in the studio, giggled like a little schoolboy almost running out of the booth to come to hug and kiss you. 
“What are you doing here baby?”
You held up his food “I am here for your break.”
“In just a min-”
“Excuse me, Mark Lee? Do you not want to eat this chicken and watermelon with me?”
“Well...”
“If you don’t I’ll eat it all.”
With that, he immediately sat down apologizing to his producer who left you two alone to eat. 
“You have to take care of yourself more Markie, I worry about you.”
“I know, I promise I’ll listen to you more baby, thanks for taking a break with me.”
Renjun
Tumblr media
It wasn’t a shock that Renjun was forgetful at times, always forgetting little things like his lip balm or wallet. Today Renjun was performing on stage and as you got up in the morning to brush your teeth you saw his contacts were left on the sink. Sighed to yourself giggling at your boyfriend’s silly mistake. You assumed he needed them so you drove to Inkigayo and got passed backstage thanks to a producer who knew you. The producer walked you to NCT’s hair and makeup room to where you found the other NCT members getting their hair and makeup done. 
But you couldn’t find Renjun. They all greeted you while you asked where Renjun was. They all pointed to the back where you saw him with a panicked face and pacing around the room. You saw him digging into his bag looking for something, you assumed it was his contacts. You walked up to him and hugged him from behind. He turned and smiled, happy you were here. 
“Hi darling, I’m happy your here, but I’m trying to look for my contacts.”
“You mean these contacts”
“OH MY GOD, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!”
He hugged and kissed you all over your face. 
“You’re a lifesaver darling, you can read my mind.”
Jeno
Tumblr media
You told Jeno that you got a new job but little did he know you’d be his new fitness trainer today. After you dropped him off you drove to the SM parking lot to park your car as you secretly entered the building without Jeno knowing. Some of the guys had weight training before Jeno and you told them to not tell him to reveal the secret, wanting to surprise him. You liked this job a lot better than your previous job, plus you got paid a lot more and saw your boyfriend often. 
Jeno had heard about you from the other guys who were subtly teasing him. 
“Did you see the new trainer, they’re hot.”
“I heard they’re into Jeno though.”
Jeno responded by saying he has a partner already and isn’t looking for a new one. He was worried as he walked into the gym, hoping this new trainer wasn’t going to flirt with him. Your back was turned as he started to talk, 
“Hey, it’s me Jen-”
You turned as he looked visibly confused. 
“y/n? What are you doing here?”
“What are you talking about? I’m your new trainer.” You said walking up to him and touching his chest. He was about to kiss you when you said:
“Now drop and give me twenty.”
“Yes ma’am/sir.”
You giggled laughing at your boyfriend as he began to follow your orders, maybe this job was the perfect one for you. 
Haechan
Tumblr media
You were a busy person, so you rarely had time to ever stop by to visit Haechan. But today was different, you had a day off because your presentation day was yesterday, so you didn’t need to come in for other’s presentations. So you decided to go surprise hyuck at work. You entered the building past all the fangirls that looked at you confusingly, you somehow were allowed into the building? Well yes, you were classmates with the security guard and it wouldn’t take long for him to know you were here for your boyfriend, Haechan. 
You knew he had lunch so you walked to the food court seeing your boyfriend and hearing his laugh from miles away. You were trying to scare him until he spotted you, noticing a keychain on your bag he gave you on your first anniversary. He gasped at started screaming: 
“jagiyaaaaaa!!!!”
He ran to you picking you up spinning you around at least ten times. You pat him to let you down as he kissed all over your face. He then dragged you to meet his members, to which you waived and greeted all of them. 
“jagi, tell them all about how an amazing boyfriend I am.”
You laughed as you told the story of how hyuck spilled ice cream on your dress on your first date, maybe you should visit him at SM more often. 
Jaemin
Tumblr media
Jaemin had a photoshoot today for his upcoming album. He left in the early morning but you noticed he hadn’t come back yet, it was now 8:00 PM, and you were worried. You texted him but he didn’t respond, so you decided to come and bring him a late-night snack, some honey tteokbokki. You drove to the photoshoot location and arrived watching all the members take turns in front of the camera. You were about to check if he was in the dressing room before you saw Jaemin go up and take his turn. 
You smiled, watching your boyfriend do his cute poses and serious poses. You couldn’t help but giggle. You lowered your mask so Jaemin could see you. He turned at the camera to look at you waving behind it and you saw his smile become visibly bigger. When he was done he walked on over to you and messed up your hair. 
“What is my little kitten doing here?”
“I brought you a snack” You held up the tteokbokki.
“I thought you were my snack,” he said pouting. 
You rolled your eyes as you watched him munch on your homemade tteokbokki. 
“This is soooo goood, you make the best tteokbokki.”
“Only for you babe.”
Chenle
Tumblr media
Chenle had a shoot for NCT World 2.0 and would be gone the whole day. But that didn’t stop you from coming to the studio to support him and his members. You thought this show was going to involve serious challenges, seeing Mark cook twenty-three eggs, and Ten having to recite tongue twisters. Then, it was Chenle’s turn you anticipated what he would have to do before it was revealed. He had to break a board with his head. You laughed as your boyfriend would be known as the NCT member that could break a board with his head. 
You cheered him on along with his members as he successfully completed his mission on the first try. During the break of shooting, he saw you and giggled in his little dolphin laugh bringing you in for a hug. 
“I saw you smash that board I’m proud lele.”
He blushed “I’m so embarrassed...I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“Not at all, after all, I know you give good head.” You said with a wink.
Renjun overheard and Chenle saw his eyes go wide.
“Honey! Not in front of everyone!”
“What? I’m right.”
“Of course you are, you are always right.”
Jisung
Tumblr media
Jisung had been working hard on his dance moves lately. With him getting new hyungs, he wanted to make sure that his skills were one of the best in NCT. That led to him working later than normal, and him missing dinner all the time. You didn’t blame him though, he would always take a pic of him in the dance mirror every night in a funny pose. You decided to come to visit him and watch him dance one night, walking to the SM building which was not too far from your shared apartment. You walked into the elevator up to the dance studio hearing the music blasting. 
You looked into the door watching your boyfriend dancing with all his heart looking at himself in the mirror. He was so focused that he didn’t even notice you walk in. He was talking with his choreographer, asking for pointers and what he could clean up until his choreographer looked at you. Following his gaze, Jisung saw you and smiled walking up to you, kissing you on the cheek. 
“What are you doing here?”
“I missed you.” You said pouting.
“Aw bunny, I missed you too...”
His choreographer subtly left leaving both of you alone, telling Jisung goodbye and that they’ll pick up where they left off tomorrow. 
“So, are you going to show me some dance moves?”
“Bunny I don’t think-”
“Try me.”
He laughed as he scooped you up and led both of you out of the door. 
“C’monnn I wanted to try and danceee.”
“Nope, can’t have my partner beat me at dancing too.”
You giggled as you hugged his neck as you both ended up eating late-night sushi, enjoying yourselves on a midnight date.

LA Nights | b.s
requested by anon tysm
summary: brad gets jealous when y/n and calum appear to be flirting at a party
words: 1.3k
warnings: none really? drinking, if that counts?
a/n: finally back!!!! i’ve missed writing, feel free to send requests for anyone i have in my pinned post (or ask for others and i may do it!) i figured since it’s calum’s birthday i’d do the one with him hehe, hope you enjoy!! also i love this trope sm lol so had a lotta fun writing this
                                                             ~
“Ready?” Brad asked as he held the door of the uber open for you, reaching his hand out to help you since you were wearing heels, which you honestly didn’t do often.
“I guess so,” you chuckled, pulling down your dress slightly and smoothing out the front. 
Ever since dating Brad, parties made you more nervous than they had before. Now, instead of drunk college students, parties were full of famous and well known people, attractive people, important people. You felt like none of those things.
Usually, at parties like this one, you tried to blend in as much as possible. You either stood against a wall somewhere, or clung to Brad’s arm, following him wherever he went. You mostly avoided initiating conversation with anyone, even if it was someone you recognized.
Brad gave you a comforting kiss on the temple, leading you into the massive house where the party was being held. You already forgot who the host was, but it didn’t matter that much.
“Drinks?” Brad asked the second you both stepped through the door, music already blaring.
“Absolutely,” you laughed, needing the liquid courage to get through the night.
You both got drinks from the bar, sipping faster than you should have, eager to feel the buzz quickly to feel less awkward and nervous.
“Are the boys here?” you asked him, referencing to the rest of the boys, who were supposed to make an appearance tonight too.
“Not yet,” Brad answered, having to talk right in your ear so you could hear him. “They should be here soon.”
You nodded happily, excited to have 3 more people here that you knew and felt comfortable around. You glanced around the area you were standing in, recognizing a lot of people. It still felt weird to you that you could go to a party and casually see people you otherwise would probably never meet.
“Care to dance?” Brad asked.
You obliged, getting another drink quickly before walking out to the makeshift dance floor. Brad’s hands found your hips immediately, both of you swaying together. The song changed to a slow song, and you both gave each other a knowing look, eyebrows raised.
“Fast dance to a slow song?” he asked, a smirk spreading across his face.
“Fast dance to a slow song.” you confirmed.
You both broke out into your silliest dance moves, even doing a small dance sequenced the both of you choreographed together at 3am in the kitchen while waiting for frozen pizza to cook. You laughed loudly, not caring that people were watching the two of you look completely ridiculous.
You were both out of breath by the time the song ended, and the alcohol was finally kicking in. This, of course, meant you already needed to pee.
“I have to pee,” you told Brad, laughing for no reason because alcohol made you giggly most of the time.
“Want me to come with you to find a bathroom?” he asked.
“It’s okay,” you answered, shaking your head. “The boys should be here soon, wait for them and I’ll find you.”
You weaved your way through the mass of people dancing, keeping your head down to avoid drawing attention to yourself. A house this big must have multiple bathrooms, you thought, you were bound to come across one of them eventually.
You made a guess that there would be one upstairs, and it would be much quieter, so you went up the stairs, opening doors to find which one was the bathroom.
You finally found it, surprised no one was already waiting. After doing your business, you looked at yourself in the mirror. You smoothed out your hair that had gone a bit crazy from the dancing, and wiped some smudged mascara from under your eye. Once you decided you looked more presentable, you made your way back downstairs to find Brad.
At the bottom of the stairs, you collided into someone. You shouldn’t have been surprised seeing as you always walked with your head down, but you still jumped back nonetheless.
Standing in front of you was Calum Hood from 5 Seconds of Summer. You liked their music, and had seen the band a few times but of course never spoke to them.
“Sorry,” he told you, hand on your shoulder to stabilize you. “I wasn’t paying attention.”
“It’s all good,” you smiled, waving it off trying to act like you were talking to just anyone.
After an awkward pause, you stumbled over your words, trying to move out of the way to let him go up the stairs.
“Your cup’s empty,” he noted. “I was just going for a top off, care to join?”
“Sure,” you nodded. You needed a drink anyway, and after you would go find Brad, and hopefully the other boys as well.
As you walked to the bar, you had casual conversation with Calum, not bringing up the fact that you knew him or enjoyed his music. 
After getting your drinks, you and Calum continued talking. It was rude to just walk away, and you assumed someone would come up to him eventually and steer him away from you.
“I didn’t catch your name,” he said to you after chit chatting for a little while.
“Oh, yeah, Y/n,” you answered.
“Pretty name, I’m Calum,” he replied.
“I really like your dress, y/n” he added, his eyes scanning your body, making you blush slightly.
“Thank you,” you smiled. “It’s really not much.”
You thanked the alcohol for not making you completely awkward, and you weren’t drunk enough where you couldn’t have a conversation.
“Well, I think it is,” he smirked.
Was he flirting? Calum Hood, flirting with just a regular, average girl?
“What’s a gorgeous girl like you doing at a party all by yourself?” he asked. What a classic line.
“She’s not,” a familiar voice said from beside you. You jumped, seeing Brad standing there, his eyebrows furrowed together as he watched the exchange
“Babe,” you smiled, reaching for him.
“Calum, this is Brad,” you smiled. “My boyfriend.”
“Oh,” Calum stumbled. “Yeah, hi, good to see you again.”
“Yeah. You too,” Brad said coldly.
You gave him a look, signalling non verbally for him to be nicer. He seemed to understand, and was often good at being nice even when he didn’t want to be.
“Are the other boys here?” Brad asked Calum, smiling brightly. You knew this was his way of asking “don’t you have other people here you could be talking to?”
“Uh, yeah, they are,” Calum smiled. “I was on my way to them when I ran into y/n.”
“Isn’t that lovely,” Brad grinned. 
“Connor, James and Tris are here,” Brad said to you, keeping his tone even. “They’re excited to see you, so I came to find you.”
“Oh, great!” you said excitedly. “I’ll see you around, Calum, nice meeting you.”
“You too,” he smiled kindly, and with that you were off.
“Is he serious?” Brad mumbled once you were out of earshot.
“What?” you asked. “He didn’t do anything.”
“Y/n, he was hitting on you, very obviously might I add,” he commented.
“Well he didn’t know I was with you, it’s okay,” you said, trying to calm him down. “I can handle myself, you know I wouldn’t do anything stupid.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” Brad sighed. “He didn’t tough you, did he?”
“No, baby,” you assured him. “And I would have stopped it if he did.”
“I’m sorry,” he sighed. “You know how I get sometimes.”
“I know,” you gigged. “But you also know you’re the only one for me, no matter who tries to talk to me at a dumb LA party.”
“I love you,” he smiled. 
“I love you too,” you grinned, planting a kiss to his lips, hands cupping his face.
“Now, let’s dance with the boys!!”

What kind of school social status would each member of the Wolfpack have
wait I love this ask!! Tho quick disclaimer everything I know about American school I know from High School Movies so I hope none of this is off!! (Also this became way longer than I expected so warning!!)
Sam- mans always been the dad friend! He’s like hard working at school and spends a ton of time helping his friends study! He’s not the kinda person who gets in trouble like he has never had a detention and all the teachers love him! He’s super responsible and defo got voted student body president but he’s still seen as super friendly and approachable!!
Jared- he would totally be the stereotypical popular jock boy with a heart of gold!! Like he’s on all the sports teams and he’s the class clown and everyone loves him sm!! He would defo be prom king and probably do a backflip on stage when he went to accept! You know the kinda guy! But he’d also be the person who will always give u a hug if you’re having a tough day, and who all the freshmen ask for directions!
Paul- he would be like popular but scary popular. Like everyone is either in love with him or wants to be him but he’s also super unapproachable! He kind of had the reputation of being a “bad boy” because of his sarky attitude and resting bitch face, but actully he is super nice and fun when you get to know him? He’s also hella smart, though people are still somehow surprised when he gets valedictorian and gives a really motivational speech.
Leah- she’s like a super high achiever, and she is captain of several sports teams!! She also runs for student body president and wins in a landslide (the year after Sam)! She’s a lil intimidating cos she’s so smart and driven but she is also very positive and loud. After her breakup she becomes a lil more closed off, and it’s not till she graduates and makes friends with Sam and Emily again that she opens back up...
Jake- him, Embry and Quil are that fun middle point where they are popular but not like prom king level! Like everyone love Jake cos he’s so sunny and positive and nice, but he’s not like super standout at anything. Like his grades are generally a average, except for art where he excels. Like he has been getting solid A+ and he loves working with his hands sculpting and carving! He also is the unofficial school mechanic if your car breaks down in the parking lot he always has tools on hand some how to fix it!!
Quil- he is that one person who does not shut up in class. Like he’s smart but he does not know when to stop, he gets diagnosed with ADHD senior year and like ... people should have known (no I’m not projecting shush) . He’s in the school debate team and they win every time because he is just super convincing and funny. He’s chatty and therefore he talks to everyone and is somehow friends with the janitor and the principal...
Embry- he’s the quiet emo one of the trio... he keeps his head down in class and kinda coasts along on his gifted kid status from middle school. He is amazing at writing though, he writes fantastic stories and poems in English class but while the teacher encourages him to share he is kinda shy. He does have a secret tumblr account for his writing though...
Seth- he is the one freshmen who all the seniors love. He is the popular one in his year, everyone wants to be his friend. Teachers look at him like he’s Jared part 2 but he’s his own dude. He’s very earnest and takes his work and clubs super seriously, he doesn’t ever want to let people down so he is the best person to do group projects with!!
Bonus!
Emily- shes that one girl who everyone had a crush on. She was a cheerleader and also ran the after school art club at the middle school so she would swing between wearing her uniform to school or long patterned skirts and dangly necklaces!! She’s the sweetest person and would always help out with any event she was asked too but she’d end up doing so much Leah would have to stage interventions tens of times per year...
Kim -shes that person that is super quiet but also suprisingly smart. She transferred schools half way through junior year so was a bit of an outsider. Then she became best fiends with Jared and found her group and that brought her out of her shell! She’s actually really funny and can be just of much of a dare devil as Jared, just no one expects it. She does win prom queen and her and Jared do have a choreographed dance. The secret is that she is actually the one who choreographed it....

[FULL ENG TRANS] 2020.04.20 W Korea’s May edition : Stay happy, cool and strong (Baekhyun)
 EXO Baekhyun’s strong identity is driven by his happiness in enjoying music.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We’ve met before through an interview with EXO, many years ago. I clearly remember something you said then, which was, ‘Before entering SM, I thought I was the best singer in Bucheon.’ Baekhyun at that time did say that (laughs). He had so much ‘confidence.’
Thanks to what you said then, when I see you slowly improving ever since you said that, I think about those stories where a kid who is good at studying enters a science or foreign language high school* and becomes crestfallen after realising where he ranks in the whole school, so he studies with all his heart and becomes the top in school.  Ah, my trainee days was when my confidence took a big blow. It just felt like my song would never get picked since there were so many other people who could sing so well. When you enter as a professional, you can’t be sloppy for even a second, and they will demand for you to be perfect, even down to every detail. I stopped thinking that singing is my specialty, and I had to reevaluate my thoughts on music. *=Science or foreign language high schools are prestigious schools in South Korea.
Even when you were discouraged, at some point your confidence would come back again, right? That’s right, to some extent. Also, I’m not the kind to let someone else dampen my spirit just because they said so (laughs).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m aware that you are planning to release your solo album soon. Because of the current situation, changes were made to the initial plans which could make things a little vague now. There are several activities I was scheduled to do but now can’t, but this situation now is not easy for everyone, and there are many people who are working very hard. There are still more to be done in several aspects, album-wise, but you can look forward to it as it will be different from the previous solo. 
Did you have any desire or goal when you were working on your first solo album <City Lights>, which was released in summer? Since a long time ago, I’ve been wanting to do songs with city pop vibes. Also, it is meaningful to have the album comprised of just my voice. I hoped for people to hear the album and at least think, ‘So this is the kind of voice Baekhyun has.’ I’m glad it received such a good outcome.
What do you mean by ‘good outcome’? I got a lot of positive feedback. There were people who recognised the effort I put into the voice and vibe I wanted to express. The album sales were also good thanks to my fans. 
What kind of voice did you want to express? Something that’s a little dreamy (laughs), and I guess I wanted there to be sexy vibes even with just my voice?
I was a little dubious when I first heard that the title track was called ‘UN Village,’ because it’s the more luxurious version of ‘Samsung Raemian’ (laughs). However, after listening to it, it seems like ‘luxurious’ was the keyword that was the main theme of the entire album. Even on stage, your performance is relaxed and doesn’t require much of an angle (as in a certain kind of look/style/theme), it looks like you wanted to portray that sort of laidback appeal.  Oh, that’s very accurate. Because EXO has themes and we do powerful performances, I wanted my solo to be different. I wanted to pull out something I think of as my weapon, something that is relaxed rather than strong, and more focused on my voice itself.
It’s rather difficult to be relaxed if you don’t do a lot of preparation. Between what you do best and what you like best, which of the two do you think is closer to the composition of your first album? At first I matched the make up of the album to what I like, but I think it slowly became what I do best as I practised and did my studies. I’m always like that. I always do what I like instead of what I do best. There is almost nothing you are good at from the start. It starts of as ‘This is so hard, but I like it’ and at some point when I get familiar with it and master it, it feels really exhilarating.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is sudden but it’s always fascinating to me when I see singers like you that start off with the position as a vocal, and become a dancer that does dynamic performances on stage. Could it be because SM is originally known for it's unrivalled training system, or is it because that person actually has dance DNA but simply never had the opportunity to draw it out? From the aspect of whether one knows how to use their body and muscles, it looks like I have the influence of the DNA. From moving your chest to doing several other movements. For example, there are people who find it hard to do detailed movements like ‘lift your right shoulder, and then pop your chest, bring down your right shoulder and lift your left shoulder.’ On top of that, SM’s environment, which has many people that started off as choreographers and have a command of high quality dancing in nature, also contributed to my progress. Looking around at my surroundings, I followed suit so my abilities got better, and there were many things I could learn and many things I was motivated by. 
Soon it will be the 8th anniversary since EXO debuted so shall we talk about the time that started history? How did you feel at the start when you had to digest and do difficult dance moves even though you were a vocalist? I just had this desire. ‘I don’t want to remembered as the person who can’t dance.’ Thankfully, the members taught me and Chen, who entered the group late, until the wee hours of the morning. Kai took care of Chen, and Sehun took care of me. All the while competing who taught better, and who mastered the dance better. I improved a lot during the time we practised together. 
Looking back, after debuting, was there a critical period where you felt like you were growing too fast? Around summer 2016 ‘Monster,’ my performance skills definitely improved. Choreographer Shim Jaewon hyung actually included a solo performance for me at the start of the song. There wasn’t supposed to have a solo performance but he said, ‘Baekhyun, you have a talent in dance too, you just have to work a little bit harder, let’s start building up your confidence now,’ and he choreographed a solo performance and encouraged me. From then on, I thought, ‘So I’m not someone who can’t dance,’ and I gained confidence in expressing myself through my body while doing my best for that solo performance. What I never knew, or what I suppressed, up to that point, I then started to express naturally.
Oh, that was around the time the special cover edition ‘EXOclusive’ you did with <W Korea> was produced! Was there a period where you were in a slump, music-wise?  At the start of EXO’s activities, when we’re going from ‘MAMA’ to ‘Wolf.’ I achieved the reality of debuting and suddenly received a lot of attention, so the kid that was full of confidence became scared of singing. I doubted myself, that my singing might be weird. It was around then that my interest in vocalisation peaked, and I studied a lot. As I did that, my fears disappeared little by little and I started to anticipate how my voice would sound like when I sing live. I put in a lot of effort in ways like thinking if I should do it a certain way this time so it could sound different, and if I like the sound of my tone in a certain song, I could apply a part of it to another song. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then before EXO, when did you first vaguely feel that you had something similar to a talent?  The first time I ever went to a karaoke. Might have been grade 6 of elementary school.
What song did you sing? It was Yarn’s song. What was the song called... Can I quickly search it up?
Yarn’s songs are one of the tests for high-pitched power, and have made many guys fail miserably in karaokes.  Exactly. Yarn’s ‘Run.’ Weirdly, I sang the song comfortably as how I heard it, and my friends’ reactions were huge. Ever since then, I thought ‘Oh? I didn’t even learn how to sing yet everyone says I’m good? This must be my greatest strength!’ and I started to like singing. 
Your audience then reacted to your mic and your acoustics, which made that the moment you became a celebrity. So that’s how the history of ‘Bucheon Prince’ came about (laughs).  My friends wouldn’t sing songs that are high in pitch. So I thought, ‘Huh? Why?’ I was still young then so I didn’t even know what a vibrato was, I just thought that the note was “vibrating.” When I hear that the end of the note doesn’t vibrate, I would think, ‘Why don’t they do the vibration thing? Isn’t it kind of flat?’ It was a time when I was young and ‘snobby’ (laughs). 
If you were to introduce a distinct characteristic of your vocals, how would you say it? Um. Smooth yet at the same time robust.
You possess everything good...  Hehe, I don’t have an entirely beautiful voice but I have a kind of baritone voice that is saturated with tenderness. So it is an advantage that I don’t have to limit myself to one genre and can challenge myself extensively. 
Still, is there anyone’s vocals that you wish to have? Kim Bumsoo sunbae. Recently I am realigning my vocals. From my breathing to my vocalisation, I am remodelling everything. So I think about vocals a lot, but when I hear Kim Bumsoo sunbae’s songs, I feel that he has quite the stability. I think of stability as a power that allows the audience to listen comfortably and enjoy the song, and to people who sing, as players of the game themselves, would either want to show off or have the freedom to express a bar of the song any way they want. He has amazing stability, and he has a great voice, and he possesses several different tones. There are many things to look up to him to. 
Instead of changing just one vocal aspect, you’re changing your style from the basics. It’s going to be a tough process. It’s not easy. I’ve been learning from my current vocal teacher for about a year now, but luckily, he’s like a saviour to me. Singer Im Hanbyul hyung introduced him to me. He not only teaches me vocal skills, but also helps me to find peace mentally. He’s like a doctor that does a full check-up on whatever I am uneasy about. He’s really grown up. [A/N: there’s no pronoun for Baekhyun’s vocal teacher but I used a standard pronoun for ease of reading]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you have any aspirations as a member of SuperM? We began our activities last fall and we were the first of Asia Artistes to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with our debut album. I’ve said ‘We will show you another kind of K-Pop’ in an interview in The States before, but there is another meaning behind the face value of what I said. No matter how I look at it, isn’t now the era to turn the impossible possible? It’s the same for SuperM. The fact that members of different groups have come together to form another group is entirely a whole new system. We were the pioneers to give it a shot, and that in itself is a step that creates synergy. With this in mind, I have the desire to make K-Pop widely known. 
In the 2000′s, K-Pop started to gain popularity when SMTOWN was having their world tour, and in the recent years, K-Pop has once again taken another leap. Have you ever felt that it’s true while you were on tour?  Of course. When we do interviews overseas, journalists would say things like, ‘If we were to define K-Pop, we can’t forget about the perfectly synced dance choreography, right?’ The style of group dance choreography, which has been around since long ago, is what shaped K-pop and I think of it as K-Pop’s important trait. When they know and point out that aspect, I feel proud and grateful. 
SuperM brings EXO’s Baekhyun and Kai, SHINEE’s Taemin, NCT’s Taeyong and Mark, WayV’s Lucas and Ten together in a team. How is it like when you’re all together? They’re all really, honestly, very nice and innocent kids. They transform on stage but when I see how they’re like together off stage, I wonder how they could be that innocent. I want you guys to know that side of the boys before showing you our music and performance.
Are they like innocent boys behind the cool and handsome men that glare when they sing ‘We will burn on this stage’ during the performance? These guys also possess everything good...  Superheroes normally conceal their own identity and show a mild appearance but when nighttime comes, they apprehend bad guys. Ever since I was young, I’ve always thought that somehow that was what true justice was (laughs). I feel like if the duality of how the boys are like daily and how they are like when they concentrate on stage was known, all the members are able to shine more brightly. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In today’s photoshoot, you went from bright and impeccable Baekhyun to Baekhyun with a dark charisma. And Cartier’s jewelry shone just like EXO Baekhyun, who symbolises ‘light’ (laughs). If you were to have dual personalities, what would it be?  Though I am mostly nice and well-mannered, I am the type to be straightforward and be firm when I think ‘This isn’t right.’ Even when people who think ‘this person belongs to me,’ when they treat them badly, my firmness will appear. When that happens, I will step in and say something. 
Listening to your stories, you seem like a person who is motivated by yourself.  That’s right. I always find faults in myself. Whether it is on stage or my treatment towards other people, I frequently think about whether I had any drawbacks. I always think about questions like ‘Why do I keep doing the wrong move these days,’ or ‘Am I not focusing, or am I lacking practice for that part?’
What is something you need in order to continue and live a long life as an artist that has debuted in an idol group? First of all, I think the answer to that is finding out what you really want to do. Because if you don’t go through that process and simply follow the trend or what other people want, it’ll be easy for you to be left behind as an artist. If you look at idols who have been in the industry for a long time, their own colour is very clear no matter what. I could also soon become Baekhyun version 2. A life where I find out whether I can succeed with just my voice.
Would you have a (however) big ambition inside of you?  Ambition, I definitely have it. There’s a saying, ‘In for a penny, in for a pound’ (laughs). However, I’m not the kind that is full of fighting spirit and think I have to achieve a certain goal. I do not want my huge desire for success to eat me up. To me, doing things happily while laughing is most important to me. That level of ambition would be more like ‘I hope they recognise my hard work’ I guess? When you work hard on something, it will still shine no matter what, and no matter how bright. And I want to show off what I am good at anyway so, hehe.

Clean Freak Idol BF taeyong — Soloist [fem] reader
Everybody knows the tea between 10th floor and 5th floor.
Then there's Taeyong.
"We are here because we want to talk about the most awaited collaboration of the most iconic ship in the kpop industry, before we talk about your new mini album 'NO HISTORY' let me ask you guys a question first. The whole world knew you two used to date, isn't it awkward to work with each other?"
Man, what is this girl saying?
Taeyong and I stared at each other and laughed.
"Hahahahaha what are you guys laughing about? hahahaha"
The audacity to ask us.
Before inviting guests into your show, please dig some information about them.
"No hahaha sorry it's just so funny. Such a ridiculous question."
Taeyong stopped you for saying anything blunt, you have this image that you're straightforward and blunt, and to others they see it as rude.
You're not doing it for clout or to be savage wannabe, that's just who you are.
"No, we didn't broke up, we just lived apart. We moved out of our dorms and shared an apartment. But we didn't take it well so we moved back in."
Really taeyong? We didn't BROKE UP? interesting..
"Why? What didn't work out for the two of you?"
Oh let me tell you the story.
"Taeyong what are you doing? Stop covering your face! smile!"
"Eh-Andwae! I just woke up!"
What is he talking about?
Bare faced Taeyong is art.
Everyone who gets to see him fresh out of bed is so blessed, this would add 10,000,000+ on your lifespan.
"Oppa you stopped eating, Isn't the dish good?"
"Yes it's good! You should try that side dish too! I was just thinking about something."
Here we go again.
Taeyong is zoning out lately, I thought he's worrying about the NCT comeback, yearbook and all but turns out he isn't.
"What is it? Tell me hmm?"
"I was thinking, since we're already dating for 5 years why won't we live together already? I mean we're already in the right age and all."
Hmm I haven't thought about that.
"Why? Aren't you happy here with the members? And besides you have the whole room to yourself it's just like having your own house. Why need one?"
"Of course I'm happy. We grew up together and I treat them as biological brothers.. it's not about them. I want to start a life with you.. but if you don't want to then fine with me.."
"What do you mean I don't want to? I would love to move in with you. But heads up honey I'm a living mess. It will drive you nuts clean freak."
Everyone knows he's a clean freak. Aesthetic, spotless, and organized. He can't stand dirt. He's the type of guy who always bathe unlike jungwoo, the guy who would always wear gloves when handling food and dishes unlike jaehyun and yuta who uhh never you know what,he has sheets on his bed (and it's white as fuck no creases and lints jaehyun has been slapped hard),the guy who gets cranky when his clothes are not handled right so he ends up doing laundry everyday, he's also the guy who praises febreeze. Febreeze is his life,addiction,religion and many more.
Yes he loves febreeze more than me.
2 years went by like a bliss. Everything's good.
Actually too good.
We spent happy days together loving each other more as time passes by until he can't take it all anymore.
He knelt to the ground and pulled a ring and said 
"Marry me y/n."
"T-taeyong.."
"I know I know.. but please hear me out. y/n we spent 7 years together full of love,laughs,and cries. I know you're finally going to have your debut next week and can't be seen in a relationship for like 2 years, but I can't take it anymore I don't want to lose you..this industry is fucked up y/n.Just please promise me you'll hold on to me.. to us.."
"Of course. You're my rod in this dark world without you I'll be lost. I'll forever hold on you. But you sure this isn't an engagement ring?"
"*sighs; you know it's not. I really want to but I already know the answer after I proposed for you like 3 times already. You're not yet ready.. but I'll wait."
"I'm sorry taeyong–"
"No don't say sorry I understand"
You were both in the right age but still young to marry.. and both of your careers are not helping.
NCT PROJECT again. You're happy for Taeyong, he really likes it whenever the whole 23 of them perform together.
But also pitied him.
"What is wrong with you two?! I expected better than this. You better composed some good ones or I'll give back the job to  composers."
"No sir, I really want to participate again in composing I can give you a better one—"
"Then do it. I want it done by next week. I only let you boys play composer and lyricist again because the crowd wants to. You get me Johnny? Taeyong?"
It's the 6th time this week. You always pass by the room because it's in the same way of the recording studio. He was getting yelled at again.
And again.
And again. 
Taeyong's been stressed for the whole 2months. Johnny and he were told they could participate in producing the album.
At last they can express themselves.
Johnny really wants to write songs but never given the opportunity to. So Johnny and he are working hard. Knowing SM they're controlling as ever this means it's a one and only lifetime opportunity. 
His dog died. His best friend and buddy.
The warm condolences of his fans comforted him. He's thankful to have them.
Y/n's first ever single is coming out. You have been pretty busy too. Recordings, photoshoots,MV filming etc. And SM and fans are breathing down your neck everytime you move.
Some anti spread fake rumors about you. Usually you'll ignore it but right now is different. Being new to this industry brought pressure to you and you don't know what to do but just cry..
You saw a cat. You always love cats, they calm you down. It gives comfort to you. You decided to bring it home to your shared space with taeyong.
You did him a favor and put a little spice in his composition then while drinking your hot chocolate you were called by your mother leaving the cat,the chocolate and the house you hurried to the hospital.
Stressed ate taeyong. He's frustrated at the moment he wants to shout and cry his heart out.
The 8th song they made just got rejected. again.
It's the last draw and they can't participate in writing on the album anymore. Mark, xiaojun and taeil got injured while practicing,the new choreographer is a dick. A stubborn stylist doesn't follow anyone's instruction causing jaehyun to be called out because of his hair and the management wants them to do nothing. Some anti is making fun of his dog's death and a sasaeng is following him right now.
The house is where he rests,it's his favorite place .
But now it isn't.
The house is a fucking mess.
Dishes on sink
Furs on sofas and floor
Chocolate drink spilled on the carpeted floor of his work space.
The computer is on
Somebody touched his music
The air smelled like a stray dog or cat
Shits on his pile of clothes and a cat is napping on the end of the bed.
Lee. Taeyong. Mad.
He's angry asf.
"Oh hey taeyong you are home?? How was your da-"
"What is that?"
"A cat?"
"and that?"
"My drink.."
"That?"
"Dishe–okay what is your point?"
"Nothing.  Just you being a pig."
"Wh-what?.."
"You're disgusting. Be ashamed of yourself y/n can't believe a woman doesn't know how to take care of a house."
"What's wrong with you?! That's so sexist!"
"What's wrong with me?! Your stupid new cat shitted on my clothes! The house is shit! Everything's shit! Even you! You messed up my song!"
"Taeyong calm down there was an emergency and about your song i-"
"shut up y/n! I'm tired! The last thing I want to see is a dumpsite! I have to keep up shits at work and I have to keep up with your everyday shits too?! I'm so sick! It looks like the house isn't the only one that needs cleaning. My life too.. I can't believe I put up with a garab6e like you. You should've been taken out a long time ago—"
"The only shit here is you."
You took your new cat and went.
Your grandmother died. That's the emergency.
It's heartbreaking and with taeyong earlier the last hanging piece of your heart shattered completely.
You went back to your own place, you ask hae-un a friend of yours who's a model under the same entertainment to get all your stuff in your house. 
She came back with seong-hyun his boyfriend carrying boxes and bags.
"Y/n.. take a break..I'm here for you."
"He wants to talk to you y/n. he said he was—"
"SEONG-HYUN!STOP!"
"okay.. I understand. Everything will be fine y/n hae-un and I will never leave you. We'll get through this together just like the old days.."
"Thank-you.."
Hae-un take care of your things at work. You decided to wake up from the slump and change labels,made depression your motivation, you skyrocketed. Soon after many articles about you were made.
“솔로이스트 Y/N L/N은 �� SM 엔터테인먼트를 떠났을까?”

Tumblr media
You have so many projects going on. Actually you were not ready for this. At SM you’re only an underrated singer who mostly writes others songs instead of doing yours. What can you do? It’s the higher ups orders.
Haeun recommended PNATION this is where you really felt like you’re an artist and family rather. Of Course you love your sunbaes and colleagues. It's just that SM restricts everyone and they try to shape them into KPOP robots that everyone will buy. 
You love all of your projects well..except one.
"P-NATION의 솔로퀸 Y/N L/N이 전 남자친구 NCT 이태용과 함께 새 미니 앨범 'NO History'를 발매한다!"

Tumblr media
Oh great…
You haven't 
Communicated with Taeyong since you left the house.
You actually avoided him.
Taeyong would straight up walk to you when on stage such as Music Bank, Inkigayo, Mama etc. But you always find a way to avoid the guy.
The fans ship you guys after finding out your 7year relationship with him. You were chill with it but you always reminded your fans that you're not together anymore theyy should snap back to reality.
Y/N doesn't like the reality now.
His ex boyfriend is in front of him doing arrangements eating Sweet Potato cubes from Starbucks and guess what.
He's formal and silent asf.
Like you guys didn't date and almost got married.
There were 5 songs in the Mini Album
Ethereal
Seoulite
Letters on the floor
Sunset 
DOUCHEBAG
The title track is Ethereal. You have to dance to that sexy love hoe song. Produced and composed by yours truly.
You just sat on your swivel chair discussing with the other producer while Taeyong wrinkles his forehead seeing the album content.
Track 6. "DOUCHEBAG"
Who The fuck would name their song douchebag?
Taeyong is confused but at the same time a little hope and warm blooms at his heart. Thinking DOUCHEBAG is all about him. Little did he know it's a diss track about MNET.
Don't worry taeyong douchebag may not be about you but most of the songs are.
He's keeping his distance letting you adjust to him..but that doesn't look like it to Y/N.
The audacity of this guy to ignore me. Bitch.
It's noon and you haven't eaten breakfast yet. Taeyong comes to your side to invite you to lunch until he is cut off by a high pitch squeal of yours.
" y/n ssi—"
"DOIEEEEEEEEEEEEE~"
"Hahahahahah calm down, you miss me that much?"
"YEAH!"
It's Doyoung.
He knows you have a few modeling projects with doyoung and an ongoing drama but he didn't know you two were this close.
You smooch your face on doyoung's face and smile brightly at him.
Ah he hates it.
"Hahahahahah enough y/n I'm here for hyung. Hyung do you want to go grab lunch?"
"Ani. Doyoung-ah i’m not hungry. Comeback next time."
"I'll come with you oppa."
“YAH!”
Taeyong stood up.
Oppa was the last straw for him. You don’t call anyone oppa.
Let alone smooch your face to someone’s chest.
You’re that brat girl who only warms up at him. 
Only him.
Doyoung and Y/N were surprised by Taeyong’s sudden actions.
Why is he angry? Did you guys do something wrong?
“Taeyong-ssi, gwaenchana? Is there something wrong?”
Taeyong suddenly realized what he did. So foolish of him. Now he looks like an ex-boyfriend who’s jealous of his ex’s friend.
He isn’t like that. He just wants closure with you.
We’ll look into that later.
“‘Y-YAH! What are you guys doing there? I thought we were going to eat?’ that’s what i’m trying to say.”
“Ahhhh~”
You and Doyoung just nodded, you thought you guys did something wrong to upset him hahaha.
Taeyong is literally speaking in small fonts as he says his excuse. As stupid as it sounds. You two believed him. Thank god phew.
You survived your 1 month with Taeyong. And for guys who dated for 7 years you two were awkward as fuck. It’s like the first time all over again. Calling each other with Honorifics and bowing whenever you two meet at the hallways, Just keeping it civil. But you gotta admit it to yourself, you start to warm up again to Taeyong these past few weeks. Dyed his hair black, and has that boyfriend material aura again.
YOU ARE A HUGE SIMP Y/N L/N.
Taeyong is planning something to win you back . He just woke up and realized ‘What if I show her again why she fell for me in the first place?’
He’s doing simple things to get close to you again. Your heart beats fast whenever he comes close.
“Jduigywfwygf Lee Taeyong i swear to god you-”
“I am what?
“You Scared me! Stop doing that! Why are you even here? I won’t record today. I'm going to learn the choreo.”
“Me too.”
“What?”
“What?”
Our Choreographer came and hell he was teaching us some sexy ass moves. I didn’t even know Taeyong was supposed to dance with me too. I suddenly have  flashbacks to Hyuna unnie and E’dawn sunbae’s Cage Dance Performance.
“One, Two, Step, Three, Step, Four”
“Y/N what are you doing? You missed the step.”
“I did?”
“Yes, It’s the 5th time already. Taeyong teach her. I’m going to take a break”
Y/N is very tense. He felt it. Especially whenever you two grind and to that one part where you kneel in front of him.
“You’re stiff and tense right now. How about you take a break?”
“Omg! Finally!”
“You left your body while we're dancing. Something wrong?”
“Nah I just feel Awkward and all. Knowing our history and everything.”
“Why would you?”
“It’s just you know uhmm.. I don’t know how to explain but you get what I mean.”
“Then Let’s be friends again! So it wouldn’t be awkward.”
He’s just waiting for you to open the topic. That’s all it takes to get Taeyong creep back to your heart. You don’t know if befriending your ex is good or what but it’s nice to have him back. It’s like normal. The teasings, hugs, and laughter are back. It’s like when you two were still together minus the label of course.
Since you two were close again why not invite him to your shoot? Besides Doyoung and Winwin are there.
Taeyong internally passed out when you invited him. He’s so happy for you. The dream of you being an actor never left his mind. Now he gets to see it with front-viewed seats, until that scene comes up.
Myeorin’s starts to tear up. He run after Haju and  hugged him behind. “H-haju you don’t have to..” 
The man just kept a blank face but you can see he’s having a hard time letting go.
“Go. I want you to be happy. You love him Myeorin”
“H-haju no! I love you!”
“You know you don’t. You're just stuck in our past memories.”
Haju breaks free from Myeorin’s hug, he cups her face and their foreheads touch each other while sobbing.
“I still want to live in that past. With you haju.”
He stared into Myeorin’s eyes and landed a soft peck at her temple.
“‘The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.’ The person who taught me doesn't apply it to herself. Pabo. Go, you have  no time left i heard he’s leaving”
Myeorin realizes Haju’s words and runs to chase the one  that she truly loves. “Do Hyejeong you bitch you didn’t tell me you’re leaving”
The Set changes and moves to a different venue.
Myeorin stands outside of Hyejeong’s penthouse sobbing. He erratically rang the bell 30th time already and no one’s answering. 
A Janitor saw Myeorin and confronted her.
“Miss Myeorin! What are you doing there?”
“Ahjussi *sniffs* have you seen Hyejong?”
“Ah! sir Hyejong?  He just left a while ago carrying his personal belongings. Why?”
Myeorin just stared at Mr.Kang and suddenly wailed.
“Ah-Uh M-miss did I do something wrong?”
Myeorin just missed Hyejeong. Knowing him  he wouldn’t come back ever again.
“What are you crying at you brat? You’re causing a scene in my property.”
“Hye-Hyejong!” Upon hearing that cold voice she stood up and faced Hyejeong with swollen, teary eyes, and a dripping nose.
“Sir Hyejong I promised I didn’t make her cry! She just suddenly weeps when I said-”
“It’s okay Mr. Kang I know. No need to clean here anymore. you can rest now. And you brat go inside.”
The two of them went inside. Hyejeong comfortably sat on his aesthetically white L-shaped sofa in front of his Floor to ceiling big windows. While Myeorin stands there dumbfounded.
“I-I thought you’re leaving…”
“Well yeah I am until Professor Shin said I have to cover his surgery tomorrow because his wife is in labor.”
“So you’re not leaving anymore?”
“I still am.”
Confused about Hyejeongs statement, creases were formed at her temples. She extended both of her hands trying to block the huge door. The lad just lowkey snickered at her actions.
“What do you mean?! No! nuh uh you won’t leave this place over my dead body.”
“”Why Won’t I leave?”
“Because I love you.”
Hyejong suddenly stopped sipping his drink and just stared at her with those big bunny-like eyes.
“What?”
“Do Hyejong Saranghae.”
He rose from the chair and met her body.
“You lose.”
“I don't careabout the bet anymoret. I love you.”
Hyejeong's mind left the earth. His lips unconsciously guided him to  Myeorin’s plump, soft, pinkish lips. It tasted like pure heaven.
“CUT!”
Taeyong got startled at the director’s cue. No thoughts, mind empty, just watching his love of his life kissing his best friend. He knew it’s part of their work and he’s proud of the both of them  but a part of him just aches knowing you’re single and doyoung single, you might fall for his kisses that used to be his.
“Y/N! Focus!”
“You okay?”
“Yeah just out of character.”
Y/N didn’t know the kissing scene and suggestive scenes are the ones that they'll be filming today. It’s supposed to be Next week! Now she felt odd knowing Taeyong’s here. She turned to Taeyong’s space, seeing him sending her a death glare while eating sweet potato chews.
“KISSING SCENE TAKE 2”
“KISSING SCENE TAKE 3”
“TAKE 6”
“TAKE 12”
The number of takes irked taeyong. Was he invited here just to suffer? Finally you guys nailed the scene. He thought it’s over yet there’s more to come.
Myeorin and Hyejeong were intoxicated with each other. A peck on the lips results in a very deep passionate one. Hyejong carried her in his arms, not letting go of her tasty lips together and they traveled towards the bedroom.
Taeyong stormed off the set. Right in front of my Sweet potato chews he said.
“Taeyong! Where are you going?”
“Don’t follow me. I’ll go home now.”
“What? why? I brought you here. I thought we were going to have ice cream after this?
“EAT ICE CREAM WITH ‘HYEJONG’ INSTEAD hmp.”
He mimicked her voice. Taeyong tried to look angry. But in Y/N’s eyes he’s a baby pouting.
“H-Hyejong? Who is that?”
“Duh? Doyoung?”
“Why would i eat ice cream with him?”
“Yeah right. Why would you guys eat ice cream if you two can just suck each other’s faces off.”
“OMG HAHAHAHAHA ARE YOU JEALOUS?”
“No! Why would I?”
“Hmm..”
“Fine I am! You said today’s going to be fun. Yeah fun for you you kissed doyoung 17 times.”
You grinned like a mad man  at his accusation even though you’re guilty of it. It’s just so cute you can’t help but to..
 “Why would you do that?! You kissed another guy then you kiss me? Don’t give me false hope Y/N.”
“Okay.. I won’t kiss you anymore. You said it yourself.”
“No, I didn’t mean it like that! It’s just that it’s giving me false hope..”
“About what?”
“About you. About us being together again. So don’t kiss me i you don’t mean i-”
Yeah you kissed your ex. He needs to shut up.
“Do you still love me?
“Of course. I have always been Taeyong.”
Cut the chase and hide and seek. You  won’t deny your feelings anymore. The feeling of missing him, his warmth, and love. You won’t deny it all again.
You two left the Area hand in hand, talking while having a little stroll.
“Hey I have a question?”
“What is it?
“Did you change your perfume?”
“Yeah. It’s Yves Saint Laurent’s  Black Opium”
“I like the old one better.”
“What smell do you love the most? Me or Febreeze? ”
“Definitely Febreeze.”
The sound of your laughs and voices faints as you two went back to the set
"If you were to pick what is your favorite song in this album? And What part of it makes you like it?"
The Interviewer  asks.
You picked up your mic and said
 “Ethereal. I like the pre chorus part the
 i can't wait to see him next
and witness his ethereal glow
he is my darling
and nothing or no one
could ever come between
bonded for life
he is my king. 
It just reminded me of someone. Someone I missed..” The crowd goes wild, they're squealing and most of them are screaming Lee Taeyong!
Taeyong goes shy.. He can’t believe you wrote him that song when he asked you who’s your inspiration you just said ‘my grandma why?’ now he knows.
He Throws you a ‘you’re hiding it from me’ look while you just replied a simple wink.
“Okay, Let’s get back to the unanswered question.. What didn't work out for the two of you?”
You two stared at each other's eyes knowing the answer.
Once again you grabbed your mic and said
“Let’s just say he’s a major clean freak.”

Jaemin as your boyfriend
Tumblr media
You saw each other for the first time in the practice room since you were a choreographer of the company and you would be in charge of the new comeback of Nct Dream.
From that moment Jaemin couldn't take his eyes off you.
"Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk past again?"
A FLIRTY BOY.
And yes, you had fallen in love with him at first sight, but you wouldn't make it that easy for him. That's why he asked you out 27 times.
He can't be more than an hour without having physical contact with you. He has to kiss one of your cheeks or grab your hand every so often because otherwise he will be sad.
Jaemin loves your attention so much and he's all for skinship because he's not afraid to let you know just how much you mean to him.
The boys really love you. The older ones already knew you because you had already worked with them but you met the younger ones the same day you met Jaemin. At first some of them were afraid of you because you were very strict and serious in your work but outside of SM you were lovely and friendly.
He has the habit of swing your arms when the two of you are holding hands as you walk through the city.
Coffee dates.
Takes pictures with your phone so he can make himself your lock and home screen.
Jaemin is a tease (in every sense).
One day, Taeyong discovered you two kissing in a not very innocent way in the practice room and he gave you the talk. Yes, the talk.
The nights during the tour were the worst because you were not by his side. Every night you called him and you didn't cut the call until he fell asleep.
"I wish I could show up at your doorstep right now and spend the whole night with you. It's ridiculous how much I freaking miss you"
MATCHING OUTFITS.
He kisses you out of nowhere and laughs when you blush.
"I like it when you blush, it's cute. Your red cheeks are literally the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life"
His favorite thing to do with you is dance. Both of you can spend hours and hours practicing and enjoying each other's presence. But Jaemin also loves the moment after that, when you are in the bathtub, relaxing and taking care of each other, feeling and caressing every inch of the other's body.
You almost always had fun little fights about silly things but they never escalated to a point of no return. You care so much about him and he cares so much about you, you two love each other so much.
At the beginning of your relationship it was very difficult for Jaemin to separate his work from his relationship with you. He was upset when you were too hard on him or showed no affection towards him during work, he thought you didn't love him. After a night filled with love and passion, in addition to a couple of tears, Jaemin understood your point of view and never questioned your love for him again.
He is romantic but sometimes he likes to innovate and be more daring with you.
Jaemin is not a jealous person because he has a lot of confidence in you and in himself but it really bothers him that the boys interrupt your time together when you finally have free time.
You adore when he calls you with cute nicknames but you will never tell him because he will never stop teasing you about it.
"I love you, sunshine. I love you so so so much"
