AD INTERVIEW
Tumblr media
Other parts
Jared Padalecki
Misha Collins
Jensen Ackles
This part sucks ass but I low key like it. I’ll probably end up redoing it soon
"Hello welcome Ad" I say opening the front door for the camera crew and Alex comes up behind me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"I'm Yn Calvert" I say.
"And I'm Alexander Calvert, come right in" he says and I smile up at him.
"This house was built by my great great grandmother when she was in her 20's and then it was a gift to my great grandparents on their wedding night and then it was given to my grandparents and then my parents and then when Alex and I got married my mom handed us the keys" I say.
"We're currently in the middle of upgrading and rebuilding everything and we've been working on it for three years now" Alex says.
"This is our living room" I say as we walk in to it.
"This is honestly my favorite room in the house, when we're actually staying here the boys and I spend a lot of time in here, playing games, playing the piano and having quiet reading time" I say.
"I learned with kids a while ago that we can't have all the fancy things and I'm cool with with that because I enjoy the family vibes we created" I say going to the wall that holds all the photos.
"This is Misha on his first day of kindergarten" I say pointing to the photo.
"I cried harder than he did" I say laughing.
"This is a picture from our wedding night, I adore this picture so much because all of the couples can be seen dancing around us, I remember this moment because Flicker by Niall Horan was playing and at that point it was one of my favorite songs and right there you can see Jared and his wife being all cute" I say pointing it out.
"All the art you see in here is made by two of Yn's sisters who run an art shop" Alex says.
"They've been painting ever since we were young and the work they put out is amazing and every time we get a visitor they always ask where I got it from and I can easily promote my siblings" I say laughing.
"Over here is our kitchen" Alex says walking up the two step departing our kitchen from our living room.
"We tore down the wall because we wanted the open space, all the natural light and when I'm making dinner I can keep an eye out on the kids and they can eat their snacks at the table and watch tv or play the game while I'm doing whatever I need to do" I say.
"Let me show you my favorite part about the kitchen" Alex says leading them over to the sink.
"Yn cooks dinner pretty much every night which leaves me and the boys with the clean up and they like how big the sink is" he says showing off our farmhouse sink.
"Makes washing dishes so much easier and Aj use to take a lot of baths in here" he says patting the sink and I laugh.
"You sound like you're trying to convince everyone to get one" I say and he laughs with me.
"Maybe I am" he says taking them to the other room.
"Over here is where our dining room was but we don't use it so we made it into a branch off living room" Alex says.
"We celebrate the holidays here and it's perfect for Christmas when we have our families and friends here and the living room is taken, we have these two ceiling chairs and then some cushions and bean bags I like to think of it as a sort of cozy corner, this usually turns into the kids hang out spot when there's a group of them because we have the gaming tv here and they can just lounge and enjoy whatever game they are playing" I say.
"The backyard is what I'm probably proudest of" I say opening the folding sliding glass doors and we step outside.
"We have the pool over there completely gated off because Aj can't fully swim yet and he likes to play outside when I'm on the patio writing" I say.
"And on that side we have the boys playhouse from Charmed Playhouses, Yn seen a picture of one and she fell in love with them and decided that the boys needed to have a Harry Potter themed playhouse" he says.
"It's literally so cool in there, I should have just walked you to the playhouse and did a tour of that" I say laughing.
"We got Harry Potter because I've always been a massive fan and Misha when he was around three he fell in love with it and I knew I had to do it plus it's perfect for both boys and girls" I say.
"Now up the stairs on the right we have the office" I say sliding the glass sliding door open and stepping inside and Alex follows me in.
"There's not a lot here" I say.
"We're currently working on expanding this room because Alex has his desk and I want a space where I can put all of my art stuff so we're in the middle of that" I say.
"This is also where Yn keeps her awards because she's too embarrassed to show them off so she keeps them tucked away up here where she can glance at them to remind her that she can always be better" he says moving the picture frames they are behind.
"This is the hallway" I say and Alex laughs.
"Yn loves this hallway" he says.
"I do, I love it so much" I say giggling and I stop walking.
"This is why I love this hallway so much" I say pointing at the pictures.
"My family is very big and very all over the place. From my birth dad I have six siblings and on my moms side I have five and it's like crazy trying to get everyone together and when I found out I was pregnant with Mish everyone came and they showed up and I managed to get a few decent shots out of it" I say laughing.
"And next to that I have my all time favorite picture of me and my baby sister Zendaya at the oscars in 2015. It's a photo from the red carpet and I was telling her I was pregnant and this was her reaction" I say laughing.
"Moving on, the first room we have belongs to Misha, they are both down for a nap right now in Aj's room so I can show off Misha's room" I say opening the door and stepping inside.
"My mom actually designed this room for him and she put it together while we were in Canada while Alex was filming so we came back to it and it was a nice surprise, Misha loved it more than anything" I say laughing.
"She got him a moving bookshelf and every time we go to the store he asks for a book so he can add them to the book shelf so that way no one will know which books opens the bookshelf" he says tipping the book back and it slides open.
"This is his 'hey Misha clean your room bub guests are coming' hiding spot" I say.
"Gets the job done" Alex says and I laugh rolling my eyes.
"Until I have to come in behind him and clean it" I say.
"This is the game room" I say.
"It has all of the games your mind could ever imagine" Alex says opening the doors under where the tv sits and it is stuffed with games.
"Texas thunderstorms have taught us that we can never have enough games or candles to entertain us when we lose power or when it storms so much the boys are up all night" I say.
"Next is our bedroom" I say stopping at the closed double doors and I push them open.
"This is where the magic happens" he says and I laugh rolling my eyes and I step in.
"Our bedroom was one of the first things we did when we moved in, we tore it apart and with the help of my best friend slash Alex's fake father and his wife and we rebuilt this room in about two to three weeks and it was like the best time of my life" I say.
"In this little hole is where we keep Misha when guest come so we can pretend we did all the work around here" he says and I laugh.
"You're an idiot" I say and he laughs with me.
"This is a laundry chute, there's one in the main rooms such as ours, Misha's and Aj's and they can just send the clothes right to the basket which then I can just dump into the washer" he says and I nod.
"Plus there's never any clothes lying around, everyone should have one of these" I say.
"Through here is our bathroom and closet" he says opening the door and we go inside.
"It's just a bathroom it's nothing special to me but to Yn it is everything" he says and I press the button and the shelves come out the cabinet.
"It's my vanity but when I'm done I can put it away and not worry about anything getting messed up ever and I love it because everything is unorganized but you can't see the clutter" I say getting off of the pouf and I go into the closet.
"This is probably the most extreme room we have in our house because honestly I'm addicted to shopping and I need the space. I always wanted like the closet that Hannah Montana had and I didn't get it but honestly this one has hers beat so I'm not complaining" I say and Alex laughs.
"Like I said about the bathroom I don't get it" he says and I laugh.
"And the last room" I say opening the door showing off the nursery and I step inside them following me.
"You're the first ones that aren't apart of our inner circle to find out and we want to use this video as an announcement" Alex says and I nod.
"This nursery is for our princess who we are happy to announce will be born in four months" Alex says. "January 1st" I say smiling at the camera.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE TAGGED
Tumblr media
I exhale, turning to look at Nikki where he's laying beside me, a sickly pale tone to his skin, his black hair tangled, his hand that is clinging to mine, covered in tracks, the same appearance as his other hand. 
I can't help but wonder if I bathed him if he'd wake up. He reeks, and he's rough looking, only adding to my guilt. 
Fred gave him a sleeping pill to ease him off of his coke high--he's been freebasing again, just cooking it up in the room's microwave. 
I don't know what the hell to do about him. 
I wish I did. 
Turning over to face him, I brush his bangs out of his eyes, my fingertips lightly dusting over his cheeks, dark circles under his eyes. 
They were supposed to play tonight, but said Nikki came down with the flu and added the show to the second round of U.S. tours lined up for early next year. 
The Nikki I knew would have never put drugs over his music, his fans, and especially not his relationship. 
But, the Nikki I knew also wouldn't have cheated on me…
It's been hard to accept the fact that the Nikki I fell in love with six years ago, isn't around anymore. 
1981
I finish getting my church dress back on, grinning at Nikki as he gets his pants laced back up, the both of us glancing at each other in the back of my car. 
"What's mommy and daddy gonna say when I send their girl back home all turned out?" He asks me, smugly, and I put my heels back on, scoffing. 
"Gee, just come home with me and find out." I shrug. 
"I'll pass." He mumbles, pulling his shirt over his head. 
"Oh, c'mon, I'm sure they'd love you." I nudge him with my elbow. 
"Your mom would piss her granny-panties." He argues, wrinkling his nose a little and I just blink at him. 
"Maybe...but I'm pretty sure my dad would like you." I inform him. 
"Like hell he does." He says to himself and I just let out a breath. 
"So…" I say after a few seconds of silence and he nods a little, awkward tension filling the air around us. 
"...Well." He lets out in the same tone. 
"Good freaking night." I go to open the car door, irritated that he doesn't offer up to hangout and do stuff other than fool around, slamming the door shut.
"Hey, what's up?" He asks me, getting out next, standing by the driver's door, blocking my way. 
"Nothing. I'll see you later." I mumble, nudging him out of my way, opening my door but he's quickly shutting it before I can. 
"Viv, what's--" 
"--I'm gonna start charging you to sleep with me." I state blatantly and his hazel eyes widen, a shit eating smirk on his lips as he chuckles out, "what?" 
"You'd think since we have sex with each other so often it'd at least make us friends, but all you wanna do when we hangout is screw around and then go do whatever with the guys." I tell him. "And, no, this isn't me being a 'typical girl' and developing feelings for you just because we've had sex. It's me being tired of feeling like I'm just being used to get you off." 
"I'm being used to get you off so it's a win-win, is it not?" 
"You sound like Vince." I snap. "All that's happening is I screw you, you screw me, we leave, and don't talk until we're both horny again." 
"Is that not how this works?" 
"The least we can do is get food afterwards or something." I suggest. 
"...Like a date?" 
I gag at the thought. 
"Ew, no." I tell him and he looks confused. "Like, um...I don't know. But since I don't hate you enough to not hook up with you, anymore, I think we could at least get to know who we're hooking up with a little better."
"Friends with benefits?" He clarifies. 
"No, no, we're not friends." I point out and he let me get in my car. 
"I'll see you tomorrow night?" He throws out and I nod. "Wear something pretty--we're going to McDonald's." He smugly smiles and I roll my eyes, holding back a laugh. 
I'm shaking the memory away when there's a knock at the door and I slowly get out of bed, trying not to wake Nikki, slipping my hand from his as my feet hit the hotel carpet. 
I open the door, seeing Mick.
"They wanted us to go ahead and start getting our stuff together to leave." He informs me. "Apparently Guns has some solo shows at some clubs nearby so they're staying behind and we'll back up with them tomorrow night." He informs me and I nod, smiling softly, before he lets out a small breath. "I know you're hurt, and you've got every right to be, but would it not make more sense to file for divorce before you move on, as opposed to moving on before you even really know if you're gonna leave or not?" He asks next, under his breath so Nikki has no way of hearing it. 
"Ask your married girlfriend that before you come at me with it, Mick, alright?" I ask him neutrally, shutting the door in his face before stepping back to the bed, hesitant to wake Nikki up but doing it anyway so we won't be late. 
I wasn't shocked when Mick let on that he knew about Duff and I because, like with me and Nikki, he just knew when something was up.
Looking back, Mick had a point, but at that time he was the last person I wanted to hear it from, because Emi wasn't estranged from her husband, or even on bad terms with him. She was just cheating for whatever reason while her husband stayed in the blissful dark. Mick was "the other woman" therefore he had no place to speak to me about my relationship with Duff.
"Nikki, get up, we gotta get packed." I gently shake him and he groans out. 
"Baby, let me sleep." He mumbles, eyes squeezed closed, face scrunching slightly for a second. 
"We gotta be in L.A. in seven hours, c'mon." I nudge at him again, and his red eyes open, disgruntled, taking a moment before sitting up.
"I did it again last night?" He asks me, rubbing the crust from his eyes as I slip my slippers on. 
"Yep."
"Are they pissed?" 
"They're worried." I inform him. "I'm worried, too." I add, stepping to the door. 
"I'm fine." He says after me.
"Glad to hear it." I open the door, taking a moment to add, "and I'm not 'baby' to you anymore," before leaving. 
I get to my room and get my things packed, being interrupted by a knock at the door. 
When I get it open, Duff is on the other side, wearing nothing but his underwear. 
"I think I left my necklace in here." He tells me and I step aside, watching him grab it from the bedside table before he turns to me and says, "so, you guys are leaving tonight?" He asks me.
"Yeah." I nod. "Gotta go watch Vince walk down the aisle." 
He chuckles and I do, too, realizing how ironic the reality of it is. 
"...Is, um...Nikki okay?" He cautiously questions.
"Yeah." I nod. "I'm sorry I didn't go back to your room last night, I just thought it'd be best if he eased off before I went to bed and then I accidentally fell asleep before I could leave so…" 
"No, no, Viv, it's fine. You still care about him, even though he's shitty sometimes he's still the guy you've been with for the past six years. I'm not upset that you're making sure he's okay." He nods reassuringly. 
Before I can say "okay", there's another knock at my door, and I step to it and open it, Tommy and Vince waiting for me. 
"Ya ready?" Tommy asks, him and Vince both wearing sunglasses. 
"Yeah." I reply, going to zip my suitcase, Tommy following in after me to grab it, taking a double take when he notices Duff. 
"Hey, man."
"Hey." Duff replies, rubbing the back of his neck, before looking to Vince. "Vinnie, you ready to walk down that aisle?" He asks him with a smile.
"Yeah, just so Sharise will stop bitching about wedding details." He responds with a groan in his tone and Duff chuckles. "But her and Skylar are coming back with me for a honeymoon so just be on your best behavior--not that you aren't most times." He adds. 
"Nah, I'll give Slash and Stevie the heads up, though." He assures him. 
"Thanks, dude." Vince says back.
"Alright, see you when we get back." Tommy says, patting at Duff's shoulder. 
"See ya." Duff says to them as they head out. 
"I gotta pee and I'll be down." I lie.
Vince looks at me, oddly, with a small bit of hesitance before he shuts the door and I rub my lips and look at Duff, fumbling with my fingers. 
"You're not breaking up with me already, are you?" He repeats what I asked him before and I smile and shake my head.
"No, no." I grab his hand and tug him closer to me and he kisses my hair, wrapping his arms around me, tightly, and I rest my cheek against his skin. 
"Just have a safe flight, try not to kill anyone." He tells me and I nod.
"I love you." I tell him, looking up at him. 
"I love you, too." He leans down and kisses me, pulling away too soon. "I'll see you tomorrow night."
"See you tomorrow night." I agree, taking a mental picture of his soft grin.
The next day was spent scrambling to keep everyone together--especially Nikki--because Sharise deserved one day to be with Vince without a fight...little did I know the only fight that would occur would be between Vince and I, and not him and Nikki, like I feared.
"Okay," I straighten her veil, examining her dress one last time as she hands me my bouquet, "you look beautiful, Sharise." I assure her and she continues nitpicking possible flaws in the mirror. 
"I know we're already married so this is just a vow renewal or whatever but I'm nervous." She admits to me, fanning at herself a little. 
"There's no reason to be." I tell her. 
"Where's Sky?" 
"With your parents." 
"Where's Tansy?" 
"Getting her dress on." 
"Where's Nikki?"
"In the bathroom." 
"In the bathroom or shooting up?" 
"In the bathroom. Tommy's on smack watch." 
"Okay." She lets out a breath, trying to calm down. "Vince...is he--"
"He's ready to walk when you are." As I say this, the door opens and Nikki and Tansy come in.
"Sharise, the wedding party's waiting for you." Tansy tells her a little shakily. 
I think she's beginning to withdrawal. 
"Alright. Okay." Sharise inhales and exhales. 
"You got this." I promise her. 
"You're right." She nods and I help her with her dress as she heads to the door. 
Nikki, Tommy, Mick, and a couple other guys I've never met that are good friends of Sharise and Vince are wearing their tuxes with a hot pink sash, to match the bridesmaids knee length, hot pink dresses with black tull underlying the skirt. 
We file into line, Nikki and getting in front of Sharise since she's appointed me with Matron of honor. 
"You showered." I mumble to Nikki, impressed. 
"Tommy threatened to spray me off with a water hose. I didn't feel like being cold." He mumbles and I scoff as the music starts, the doors opening to lead outside, where we have to walk down stone stairs to meet in a spacious courtyard. 
"I'm getting war flashbacks." He says next once it's our turn to start walking. 
"From our wedding, yeah, me freaking too." I reply in a hiss. 
"I was gonna say from Tommy's wedding but sure." He scoffs bitterly. 
"Just don't leave this one every fifteen minutes to slip into the bathroom and shoot up." I ignore his comment, the arm that my hand is looped through tenses up and I can feel him glaring at me through his sunglasses. 
"Don't be a fucking bitch." He tells me as we step down the stairs and approach the guests, seeing Vince and the other groomsmen and bridesmaids waiting for us. 
"Little late for that." I point out. 
"And our wedding wasn't even that bad, Viv." He randomly cuts back to our initial back and forth and I fake a smile for the crowd, speaking through my teeth to reply, "Wish I could say the same for the months to follow it." 
We separate at the alter, and I push my feelings aside when I look to see Sharise stepping down the stairs, looking stunning as ever. 
When she gets down here, I'm straightening the back of her dress as she takes Vince's hands. 
The ceremony doesn't take very long, and once the reception comes and all the pictures are done with being taken, I'm ready to get out of this dress--but it's not ready for me to get out of it.
I grind my teeth, dreading asking this bastard for help, but I know he's got his knife and the zipper of my dress is stuck. 
"Nikki," I tap at his shoulder as he downs another glass of wine. 
"What?" He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. 
"Can you help me get out of this dress?" I ask him and he suddenly bursts into laughter. 
"I'd rather fuck a pot of boiling hot oil than fuck you." He tells me. 
"No, asshole, I mean literally help me get this off because the zipper is stuck." I explain. 
"Oh." He says, turning me to look at it. "Yeah, I guess." He stands up and I head to the bathroom as he pulls his pocket knife from his pocket.
Once we get to the bathroom, I'm pulling my arms from the sleeves the best I can before I look at him. 
"Just go to sawing away here." I point to the seam that's three-fourths zipped. 
He starts cutting at it, and it soon gets looser and looser to the point there should be plenty of room to finish pushing it down my hips...and I would if his hands weren't steadily holding at my bare sides, his eyes on my back as I look at him in the mirror and wait for him to snap back into reality. 
He never does, and I'm forced to clear my throat to whisk the tension away. 
"Um, I got it from here." I tell him, hinting that his hands on my skin aren't needed.
He just looks at me in the mirror and holds at them tighter, making me go to hit at the tops of his hands, only I realize this is one of the few moments he probably finds peace in because he can pretend, even for a second, that everything isn't screwed sideways. 
I just rest my palms over his hands, making eye contact with him in the mirror, looking us over, and I smile sadly, realizing we won't ever be those people again. 
After his moment is finished, he's gently patting my sides before taking a step back and putting his knife back into his pocket. 
"Thanks, again." I say to him before he goes. "No problem." He mumbles, stepping out. 
I rush back to the bridal suite to avoid being seen half naked, to change into a more comfortable dress.
As soon as I shut the door, I turn around and see Vince nursing a beer, and I jump. 
"Jesus, Vince!" I snap at him, taking a deep breath and he rolls his eyes for a second. "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him, peeling the dress down my legs, not caring that he's getting an eyeful of me in nothing but skimpy panties since he's seen me completely naked in the pictures of me that Nikki's shown off to him. 
"Hiding from my in laws." He replies, taking another sip of beer. 
"You're not supposed to be drinking." I remind him.
"Who's gonna tell them?" He asks me, raising his brows. 
"Doesn't matter if the state doesn't know--God knows. That's who you'll have to answer to in the end." 
"Oh-Oh, my fuck." He chuckles out, his tongue swiping the inside of his bottom lip. 
"What? You think standing before God and being confronted with the fact you're still drinking after killing your friend in a drunk driving accident is funny?" I hiss at him.
 "I think the bible warns against becoming a drunkard but doesn't it also say, "you must not commit adultery'?" 
My heart pounds in my chest, my eyes wide, and he stands up from his spot on the fluffy parlor chair. 
"So you can give me shit about killing Razzle and still drinking, but every time the sweat on Duff's back dries after he's done fucking you, it's just another nail being hammered into Nikki's coffin, once he finds out." He says, pointing at me with the hand holding at his bottle. "And that blood's gonna be on your hands." He adds. "Not mine."

Tumblr media
You carry a plastic bag with you as you head into the RBW building. You hadn't told the members that you were coming, hoping to surprise them after a long week of practice. It's been a few days since Geonhak's birthday, a busy yet fun day. At some point, later at night after dinner, Geonhak had pulled you aside to talk about learning the next song--Twilight--and in your excitement, you wanted to come to practice early.
A trainee in the hallway nods to you. You've spent enough time here that you know most of everyone at RBW. You're friends with ONEUS and ONEWE. You're close with quite a few of the trainees, and you've even met the members of MAMAMOO.
You stop in front of the practice room again. The music is playing gently in the background, but instead of being accompanied by the sounds of dancing footsteps, it's accompanied by laughter and chatter.
You place your hand on the doorknob and poke your head in. The six members are sitting in a circle, chatting about who knows what. Something about a new song or something.
"Hello?" you say, knocking on the doorframe. They look over at you, and you hold out the bag of food. "I got you guys some food, if you guys want it."
"Y/N!"
Dongju runs to you, and you expect a hug. Instead, he takes the bag of food from your hand and sits back down in his spot between Keonhee and Hwanwoong, and the three start digging through the bag.
"Wow, I thought you'd be happy to see me, not the food," you say, laughing. Geonhak, across the circle, scoots aside and beckons you to come sit in the newly made spot between him and Youngjo. You do, and smile over at him.
"Excited for practice today?" he asks quietly, smiling widely. "You've got Lit all the way done. And Valkyrie is most of the way there. We should be able to start with Twilight today."
You clap gently, very excited. Geonhak chuckles and smiles his cute, nose-scrunchy smile.
"Geonhak," Keonhe says. "Come with me to finish heating the food."
Geonhak sighs, before getting up.
"I'm excited for this afternoon," you say to him as he leaves.
Hwanwoong looks up from the takeout in his hands, from the other side of the circle. "What's going on this afternoon?"
"Oh, I'm gonna start learning Twilight with Geonhak."
"Oh right! I forgot you're dancing with Geonhak. How's that going?" Hwanwoong asks excitedly. "What have you learned so far, Y/Nie?"
"Geonhak has taught me A Song Written Easily, Lit, and I'm almost done learning Valkyrie."
"Oh?" Youngjo asks. "You should show us what you have done for A Song Written Easily. Let's see how good of a teacher Geonhak is."
You stand up, and Seoho plays the song from his phone. You start dancing along with the music, recalling Geonhak's movements as you watch yourself in the mirror. The members in the room--Yongjo, Seoho, Hwanwoong and Dongju--clap and cheer you on.
Once you finish, you bow as they applaud you.
"That was great," Hwanwoong says. "Geonhak's a good teacher, hm?"
"Yes, he is."
"I'm not surprised. And it shows. You dance like you've been doing it for a long time," Hwanwoong says.
"You said you're working on Valkyrie?" Seoho says. You nod. "Why don't you show us, and we give you some pointers?"
"Alright."
You dance as Seoho plays the song from his phone.
"At that part," Hwanwoong says. "You should bend your front knee more. It'll make it easier to move on to the next part."
You nod, continuing the dance.
As you reach the end of the song, your right hand stretched upward, the members clap for you. You sit back down, smiling from all of the attention.
"So, how'd you manage to get Geonhak to teach you right before our comeback?" Hwanwoong asks.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm just curious about how you got Geonhak to teach you," Hwanwoong says, eyebrow raised.
"Well," you say, "I asked Geonhak because I was too nervous to ask you, actually."
"What? We're friends, aren't we?"
"Yes, but back then we weren't as close as we are now." You laugh at the thought. "But now we're much closer."
"Hey, I'm still open to teaching you if you're interested, Y/N," Hwanwoong says. You open your mouth. Would it be rude to reject him?
But Geonhak is already teaching you.
The sound of a door closing echoes through the room, but you're too focused on the conversation to notice it.
Suddenly, Dongju smacks Hwanwoong's arm and whispers something in his ear. Hwanwoong looks from the door to you.
"Or not. Geonhak seems to be doing a great job at teaching you already, you know," he says quickly. You nod.
"Yeah. Thanks for the offer, though."
Keonhee walks over and hands out the snacks, small tubs of food. He hands you one and you frown.
"Where's Geonhak?" you ask Keonhee.
"He said he was going to the restroom," Keonhee says. He seems to want to say more, but doesnt.
As the ONEUS practice comes to a close, Geonhak doesn't appear. You ask Youngjo, and he seems as concerned as you. The rest of the members pack up to go to their respective spaces after practice ends. Youngjo heads to the studio, and Hwanwoong, Dongju and Keonhee pack up to head to the dorm. Geonhak is nowhere to be found.
Seoho taps your shoulder.
"If Geonhak doesn't show up," he says, "I'll be two rooms down, and Youngjo is in the studio. If you need either of us, feel free to interrupt either of us. Okay?"
"Thank you," you say. He waves goodbye and leaves the room. You're left alone in the practice room.
You pace back and forth. You still have ten minutes until your practice technically starts. Perhaps he went to get an extra snack for the two of you. Maybe he had to get something from the dorm.
But as the minutes pass, you remain alone in the practice room. Five minutes, then ten minutes past the start of your practice together, you're sitting with your back against the wall.
You take out your phone and call Geonhak. He doesn't pick up. You call again, and he doesn't pick up. The third time you call, the phone rings for a long time, and just as you're about to hang up, the other end picks up.
"Hello?" Geonhak's voice is muffled by the phone, but you'd recognize his voice anywhere.
"Geonhak," you say, breathless with stress yet relieved that he picked up. "Where the hell are you? Our practice started ten minutes ago."
There's a long pause. Or at least, it feels long. "Why don't you ask Hwanwoong to teach you?"
"What?" You pause for a moment, trying to figure out what's going on. "Geonhak . . ."
"You know what? I'm feeling a bit sick, I'm going to hang up. Bye."
He hangs up, and you're left alone in your thoughts.
What the hell?
You want to curl up. What is all this about? Geonhak is obviously mad at you for something, but as you think through the day, nothing comes up.
You sniff and wipe your eyes. Your hand comes away wet, and you realize that you're crying.
You stand up, sniffling, and sluggishly make your way out of the practice room, down the hall, and knock on the door to your right. The door to the studio opens up, and Seoho is standing beside the door, hand on the doorknob. Further into the room, Youngjo is sitting in front of the computer. 
"Y/N?" Youngjo asks, leaning away from the computer. "Are you okay? Aren't you in practice with Geonhak?"
You look between them, and Seoho's face falls. He can tell from the sullen look on your face. You two might not be super close, but he still knows you.
"He didn't come," Seoho concludes. His voice sounds as sad as yours. He opens his arms. "Come here."
You hug him, and for some reason, you're crying into Seoho's chest. You don't see Youngjo and Seoho exchange worried glances.
"Do you want to sit down, Y/Nie?" Seoho asks, gesturing to the chairs against the back wall. You nod and sit with him. He hugs you and pats your back gently.
You hear clicking and look up. Youngjo is pressing things on his phone furiously.
"What are you doing?" you ask.
"Calling Geonhak."
You stare at him as he holds his phone to his ear.
"Geonhak, where are you?" he scolds into the phone. There's a pause. "Y/N is waiting for you, why aren't you here? You need to come back. No  Geon--Geonhak! You can't just do that to them." He pauses, and then his voice softens. "They're in the studio with me and Seoho. Geonhak, what's going on with you? Geonhak!"
He takes his phone away from his ear and sighs.
"Youngjo . . . what'd he say?" you ask.
"He told me he's at the dorm. He's not coming back. He didn't say why."
You nod. At this point, you just want to know why Geonhak isn't here. Why he's mad at you like this. You two have argued before, you've been friends for years. So what could you have possibly done to make him suddenly leave you?
Or is this him getting back at you for the one time you left him during practice, because he got too close to you?
"That stubborn kid . . ." Youngjo looks at you and pauses. "The youngest three should be at the dorm by now. I'll ask Keonhee to check on him."
He types a text to Keonhee, then sets his phone aside. He turns his chair to face you.
"Are you okay, Y/N?" he asks gently. "I know these practices mean a lot to you. They mean a lot to Geonhak, too. I don't know what's wrong, but it's not your fault, okay?"
"Thank you, Youngjo. And Seoho," you say. "I don't know why he's upset at all. I think I did something but K don't know what."
"Wait, wait," Seoho says, thinking. "Geonhak disappeared right after you brought us snacks. You only saw him for a bit before he went to help Keonhee with the snacks, before he left. What could have happened in that time?"
You shake your head. You don't know.
Suddenly, Youngjo's phone rings. He picks it up quickly.
"Hello? Ah, Keonhee. He won't? What's he--oh. Please keep us updated, Okay Keonhee? Thank you." He pauses and whispers to you. "Geonhak won't say anything to them. He barely said hello when they walked into the room."
You want to find it comforting. That you're not the only one he's ignoring. You want to think that he might be mad at someone else, one of the members, but not you. But you have a feeling, deep down, that it has something to do with you.
"Y/Nie," Seoho says. "If you want, you can stay here. We'll walk you home after we finish, okay?"
"Okay," you say.
Tumblr media
Geonhak sits on his bed, phone in hand. He's watching music videos, listening to music, playing games, anything. Anything to distract him from you. But he can't help but think back to only a few hours ago at the end of the ONEUS practice.
He was so excited to teach you today. He'd practiced extra this morning, redoing the Twilight choreography a few times and figuring out the little things like positioning.
He was elated to see you come in early. He couldn't help but smile when he saw you, both in general and today.
When he had walked back into the room to hand out some of the snacks, he saw you talking to Hwanwoong.
"I asked Geonhak because I was too nervous to ask you, actually," he had heard you say through the crack in the door. He knew this already. You'd told him the same thing when you asked him to teach you. But he doesn't like hearing he was your second choice.
"What? We're friends, aren't we?" he had heard Hwanwoong say.
"Yes, but back then we weren't as close as we are now." Geonhak heard you laugh. He loved your laugh. But he didn't want to hear you laughing with Hwanwoong. "But now we're much closer."
"Hey, I'm still open to teaching you if you're interested, Y/N," Hwanwoong had said. Geonhak froze. Now that you and Hwanwoong were close, there was no need for you to reject him. After all, he was the main dancer.
Geonhak loved teaching you dancing. He loved teaching and being helpful, he loved spending time with you, and this was a combination of the two. But thinking that you could always Hwanwoong teach you instead . . .
Geonhak turned around, closing the door a bit louder than he had intended, and stepped back. Keonhee had nearly walked into him.
"Aren't you going inside?" Keonhee asked, frowning.
"I, uh, yeah. Take these, please, I have to go to the restroom," Geonhak had said, handing Keonhee the food. He walked past him and headed down the hall, straight back to the dorm.
All he could think of was Hwanwoong teaching you instead of him. Hwanwoong offered to teach you, why would you refuse when the whole reason you didn't ask him in the first place was because you were too shy, and now you're closer?
Tumblr media
"Geonhak?"
He looks over to the doorway, and Keonhee is standing there.
"Oh, you're home."
"Geonhak, are you okay? Are you feeling sick?" Keonhee asks.
He tries to think of a way to answer the question, but how to do that? No? Yes? He turns away from Keonhee.
"Let me know if you need anything."
After a moment, he hears Keonhee leave the room. He hears speaking in the other room. Dongju and Hwanwoong. Shouldn't he be glad that Hwanwoong is here instead of teaching you?
He starts to think of you again. You must be still with Youngjo and Seoho at RBW. You must be so mad at him for abandoning you before practice.
He's liked you for a long time. Long before he started teaching you dancing. He met you maybe four years ago, and he started thinking of you as more than a friend perhaps two years ago. You'd never seemed to feel the same way, and so he never acted on those feelings. But spending time with you, teaching you to dance, he thought maybe there was a chance that you might feel the same. That maybe you could be more than friends.
And then he'd heard Hwanwoong offering to teach you instead. He felt himself feeling absolutely crushed, absolutely deflated. So very jealous. He still feels that way, that he likes you so much and that to you, you're just friends.
