nabi’s masterlist

Sungkyu rubbed his hands against each other, breathing onto them to warm up. “Are we always going to film at five in the morning?” He complained, looking at the camera crew. “The episode with Yena was also shot this early… Why?” Slightly shivering, he put his hands in the pockets of his coat.

“But, I think today’s guest is worth the early working time. It’s Eve!” He announced. “She’s releasing a new album until spring… even though it’s still winter.

[Support the new release, until spring]

“She’s one of the most in demand idols right now, right? I asked some colleagues about her, and they all only had nice things to say,” he explained. “I wonder what she’ll be like in the morning.” He chuckled deviously. “I heard she moved to a new apartment, so here we are in Yeoui-dong. Let’s call her manager to ask some questions.”

Ari walked into frame, bowing politely to Sungkyu. “Hello,” she greeted, shaking his offered hand. “I’m Jeon Ari.”

“Yes, hello. First of all,” Sungkyu began, “do you know how big the apartment is? In terms of pyeong, how much are we looking at?”

Ari shook her head. “I’m not sure, I wasn’t with her when she bought the apartment.”

“Ah, you weren’t?”

“She went with her brother and members to look at apartments,” she told him, squeezing a heat pack between her fingers.

“And do you know anything about the market price?” He asked, chuckling lightly.

[He’s persistent]

“No, I don’t.”

“Ah… I’ll just ask her,” he decided with a definitive nod. “Is there anything we should know before going in?”

“Yes. She’s currently watching her brother’s dogs.”

“Key-ssi?”

“Yes, Commes des and Garçon,” Ari confirmed. “I don’t think they’ll wake her up because she’s a very deep sleeper.”

Sungkyu nodded slowly. “Yes… I wonder if they know how many pyeongs it is?” He wondered aloud.

The scene cut and they were just outside of Nabi’s apartment door. Ari entered the passcode, opening the door to let everyone in.

Sungkyu gasped softly. “The walls are so white,” he whispered in amazement as he walked past the entry-way, turning right to fully enter the apartment. He gasped again, seeing a slightly ajar door to his immediate left. “Is that her room?” He asked Ari.

Ari shook her head. “It’s a guest bedroom.”

“Ah, there are guest bedrooms?”

“Yes. These two rooms are guest bedrooms.” She pointed at the rooms across from each other.

“Let me get a look at them, then,” he whispered, pushing the door more open. He turned on the lights, seeing a bed frame surrounded by a bunch of boxes of furniture. “Ah, she’s not done decorating yet,” he noted as he exited the room. “There are still a lot of boxes.” He continued walking forward as Ari stood in the living room. He looked around the living area, his eyes landing on two princess dog houses. “But… where are the dogs?”

“They’re sleeping in her bed so she can make sure they’re warm,” Ari told him.

He looked at her incredulously. “But they have fur.”

“You can try to tell her that. Her room is that one,” she said, pointing at the door that was between the kitchen and living room.

“This one?” He walked to the closed door, opening it as quietly as possible. One of the staff passed him a microphone as he walked into the room. As Sungkyu neared Nabi’s bed, he noticed the two dogs that were under the covers, their heads sticking out from the blankets, while only Nabi’s hair could be seen. Taking a deep breath to steel his nerves, Sungkyu started singing antifragile into the microphone as the staff turned on the lights, cheering every so often when he forgot the lyrics. As he finished the chorus, he looked down at the bed, noticing that Nabi had not moved, but Commes des and Garçon stirred awake and were staring at him. “Is she not waking up?” He asked, the microphone giving his voice an echo effect.

He scratched his head as he watched the idol continue to sleep. “What should I do?”

The two dogs in Nabi’s bed began to walk out of the covers, sitting on the pillow. Garçon tilted his head as Commes des started growling at Sungkyu, who took a step back. He looked at the camera in fear. “They’re not going to attack me, right?”

“She’s waking up,” one of the staff members said as the camera zoomed in on Nabi’s hand leaving the covers to gently pat Commes des. The dog slowly stopped growling, instead lying down and staring at Sungkyu.

Sungkyu stared at the scene in front of him in amazement, gasping. “Wah… She’s not awake, though,” he expressed his shock, speaking into the microphone. “Manager-nim,” he called for Ari, who appeared a second later, “what should I do?”

“Uh… you might get hurt if you do it, so I’ll do it,” she said, walking around the cameras to the other side of Nabi’s bed. She picked up the two dogs, moving them further down the bed as she placed her knee on the mattress, leaning forward. She gently tapped Nabi’s cheek, catching the hand that flew out in her direction. Holding onto the younger girl’s hand, she continued to tap her until she heard Nabi groan.

Sungkyu took a deep breath before singing the chorus of antifragile into the microphone, causing Nabi to flinch at the loudness of his voice. The dogs rushed to her side immediately, Garçon pushing his paws into her face through the covers.

“... Why?” She groaned, gently pushing the grey dog off of her head. She peeled back the covers to stare at Sungkyu through squinted eyes as he finished singing.

“Good morning, Eve-ssi,” he greeted enthusiastically into the microphone. “What exactly were you dreaming about that you were fighting your manager?”

“I wasn’t dreaming about anything,” Nabi answered after a few seconds of trying to fully open her eyes, rubbing the tiredness from them.

“Is that just how you react to being woken up?”

“Yeah, I guess.” She said, still fighting to open her eyes. “Why are you here so early?” She complained, twisting herself in her blankets.

Sungkyu chuckled. “I don’t know, either.” He looked down at Nabi’s bed, noticing something. “Just how many blankets do you have there?”

“I have the sheet, the blanket, the duvet– Get off of my head.” She pushed Garçon off of her once more, before returning to her sentence, “And the other blankets.”

“You sleep with four blankets?” He expressed his shock.

“Well, yeah. It’s winter.” Nabi rolled off of her side, instead going onto her stomach. Lifting her head, her hair framed her face.

Sungkyu stared at Nabi’s face. “Are you wearing makeup?”

“What crazy person wears makeup to bed?” She stretched her back out in the seal position, a few of her bones clicking in response.

“How old are you that your body is already making those noises?” Sungkyu gasped. “That isn’t normal. Anyway, we’ll give you time to yourself so you can fully wake up,” he told her, watching her look around the room aimlessly, “and I’ll get started on breakfast.”

Commes des moved to sit by Nabi’s hands as his brother barked enthusiastically. Sungkyu left the room, going to the kitchen.

The scene cut and Sungkyu was sitting by the couch in the living room. “Breakfast is ready, Eve-ssi,” he called out, placing two glasses of water on the coffee table.

Nabi emerged from her room shortly after, the two dogs following her. Around Nabi’s shoulders was a yellow throw blanket to keep her warm. She plopped herself on the floor, her back facing the TV. On the table were two platters, one with kimchi dumplings and the other with beef kimbap. There were two bowls of rice for the two of them, another two bowls having beef stew.

“It looks tasty,” Nabi breathed out.

“I think this is the most simple breakfast we’ve ever had,” Sungkyu complimented.

“You’re welcome.”

Everybody laughed at how nonchalant Nabi’s tone was, the idol just yawning. Sungkyu scooped up some rice on his spoon, dipping it in the stew.

“As is customary on this show, I’ll feed you your first bite,” Sungkyu said as he raised his spoon to Nabi’s mouth. She ate the food, nodding in approval.

“Tasty,” she said before yawning.

Sungkyu stifled a laugh as he watched Nabi blink tiredly, looking around the room. “What time did you go to sleep that you’re so tired?” He asked.

“Uh… What?” Nabi rubbed her eye. “I slept at, like, some time in the morning. I think it was three fifty or something,” she mumbled, stumbling over some of her words.

“Ah, then it’s understandable that you’re so tired,” he commented.

Nabi nodded wordlessly, picking up a dumpling with her chopsticks. “Of course.” She ate the food, her body slowly swaying side to side.

Everyone in the room laughed lightly at her behaviour, not used to seeing her so drained of energy.

“This apartment… How many pyeongs is it?” He asked in between chewing a mouthful of rice and beef stew.

Keeping her eyes down, she thought. “I think it’s seventy…” she dragged out the last syllable as she tried to remember. “Somewhere in the seventies.”

“Wow,” he gasped.

“I always had the thought that my first apartment would be a studio apartment or something like that, not anything big by any means,” Nabi said, “but when the people I’m close to found out that I was getting an apartment, they started sending me money.”

“Money?”

Nabi nodded. “They would send me money and tell me to use it for the down payment, utility bills, or furniture. I was given strict instructions not to buy a cheap apartment.”

“Wah… Can you give me the numbers of those people?”

“No.” She shook her head. “If you don’t have their phone numbers, let’s keep it that way.”

“What’s your MBTI?”

“Uh, ENFP.”

“Are you sure you’re F?”

“This is just what I’m like when I’m tired. You’re not special to see this side of me.”

As she spoke, she unconsciously furrowed her eyebrows, her gaze changing from lazy to a glare.

“So, it’s like–” Sungkyu cut himself off when he noticed Nabi’s facial expression.

She continued to stare at him, oblivious to the fact that she looked pissed off.

“Nabi-yah,” Ari called out from behind the cameras, causing the idol to look in her direction. “Your facial expression.”

“My what?”

“Fix your facial expression,” she said.

Nabi blinked. Then again. And again. “My facial expression is fine, though,” she argued.

“You look like you’re angry at me,” Sungkyu told her.

Nabi just shrugged. “There’s nothing I can do about that. This is just what my face looks like.”

“Ah.” He nodded in understanding. His gaze moved to the two princess dog houses sitting in front of the TV console. “The dogs… Aren’t they male?” He asked.

Nabi turned her head to look at the dogs that were resting on the carpet, her facial expression smoothing out. “I need to give them breakfast,” she remembered with a sigh, not noticing Sungkyu’s shocked expression.

[Unique guest]

Nabi quickly put some premade dog food in their bowls, adding fresh water as well. She returned to her seat soon after. “What was your question, again?”

Sungkyu swallowed a laugh. “Are your dogs male?”

“Yes, they are,” she said.

“Then why do they have princess houses?” He pointed at the dog houses.

She scratched her neck as she ate a spoonful of beef stew. “Since they’re male, am I supposed to make them sleep on the balcony?” The phrasing of her question made everyone laugh. “Where do you think real life princes sleep? In the bushes? Like a man? No, dude. They sleep in princess castles, in princess pyjamas, on their princess beds.” She accentuated her last sentence by tapping the table.

“How could I not know?” Sungkyu asked. “I should’ve known.”

“Right.”

An unexpected silence overtook the room as they both focused on their food.

[...]

“Have you had anything like a housewarming party?” He suddenly asked, breaking the silence.

She shook her head. “I haven’t. I’m not done decorating yet, so I haven’t had one.”

“When you’re done decorating…”

“Then I’ll have one.”

He nodded as he thought of his next question. “By any chance, will you invite me?”

“We’re not friends,” Nabi quickly answered.

[Boundary has been set.]

The camera crew laughed as Sungkyu laughed awkwardly. “Why are you laughing?” He asked one of the cameramen. “What’s funny?”

[This situation]

“So, has anybody visited your apartment?” He asked, changing the subject.

“My members have. They ordered my bed frame for me when I bought this apartment, and when I got the keys, we put the mattress on the floor and slept here. We slept here for maybe a week and then my bed frame came, so we assembled it. And my brother’s been here as well.”

“Key-ssi?”

“Yes.” She nodded. “He helped me assemble most of my furniture.”

“That must be nice.”

“It is.” Her voice unintentionally sounded teasing.

The scene cut and Sungkyu clapped his hands. “You’re coming back with until spring.”

“Yes, it’s my first full album.”

“Ah, is it a full album?” He asked, his eyes widening. “That’s a big step.”

“The company decided…” Her voice trailed off.

“Why is it called until spring when it’s still winter?”

Nabi popped a kimbap into her mouth. “It’s called until spring because the title track, misty dreams, talks about a relationship that has a time limit — a relationship that’s going to inevitably end. And for me, spring is a season of rebirth, just like how flowers bloom. So it’s until spring because I’m letting go of relationships that suck.”

“Ah, it’s until spring because you’re keeping these things until then, and then letting them go.”

“Yes. Some of them might take longer to let go of, but that’s the goal.”

“And the title track is…”

“misty dreams,” she finished for him. “I wrote it with imsuho-nim and IU sunbaenim, and I produced it with N!KO-nim and Dr. JO-nim,” she said. “It’s actually a double title album, but misty dreams is the main one.”

“What’s the other one?” He asked, having a spoonful of rice and kimbap.

“The other title track is called dun dun dance. Seo Jieun-nim and Anna Timgren-nim wrote it, and Ryan S. Jhun-nim and Scott Stoddart-nim produced it.”

“Wah… You’re working with very good people. I think,” he added as an afterthought, making Nabi laugh. “I don’t really know how good they are. Can you sing a bit of the songs?”

“Yes! I’ll sing dun dun dance first.” She sang the chorus of the song, swaying along to the beat. Everyone clapped for her when she was done.

“Did you eat a CD for breakfast?” Sungkyu asked, amazed by how good her voice sounded.

“I ate this.” Nabi pointed at the table.

“She’s still too tired for me to use metaphors and similes,” he noted. “Can you sing misty dreams now?”

“Yes!” She cleared her throat before singing the chorus of the song. “That’s the song,” she said when she was done.

“When this video is out, the album will have already been released, but for us, this is a teaser,” he commented. “They’re both really nice songs and–”

He was cut off by Commes des barking, his brother joining soon after. Nabi nodded as they continued to bark before shushing them.

“People are sleeping,” she told them.

Roux and her dates

Ryujin:

Roux and Ryujin were talking via SNS, about their tour plans and countries they will be in the future. The two have been to unofficial dates before, but never a formal one at that. Ryujin sent a a flirt message:

“Why don’t you come have dinner with me and then we talk more? 👀”

“Sure babe😉”

With that settled, at a Friday they met up in front of a famous trendy restaurant in Seoul. As the night went by, they got talking about their time together at JYP, their dreams and goals, and their personal life.

"You know, Jinnie, there's something I've been wanting to share with you. Ive been seeing your performances and I really admire your confidence on stage and how effortlessly you command attention. It's truly captivating, as if you cast a spell on them.”

"Wow, thanks babe. That means a lot coming from you, you’re gonna make me blush. Honestly, I've always been in hypnotized by your stage presence! You really evolved, it’s like a whole different girl from the one I met back then.”

"Thanks darling. It's not always easy, but when I'm up there, it's like I'm in my element. And being able to connect with fans through music, it's a feeling like no other. And the guys been helping me build my confidence. But what have you been up to in your rest days??”

Ryujin gives her little charming chuckle and proceeds saying; "In my rest days? Well, you know I like to rest at home, like binge watching some new tv show, listening to music, and cooking! You know is like a therapy for me!”

As Roux smiles, she throws a shot; “You know, next time you rest you can call me to cuddle, right?”

"Yeah, I will, it sounds nice. You know, you continue being fearless. You're not afraid to be you, and that's a rare quality.“

Roux looks into her eyes and says; "Thank you, but it’s not hard when I’m around you, you are captivating.”

Ryujin smiles and reaches to hold Roux hands; "You know, you mean a lot to me..and also,we could be a very hot pair…”

“I know right?..” as she giggles, they both continue enrolling through the night, wondering about what could be their future together…

Yves:

They don’t really know each other, but one day Roux sent a message complimenting Yves a story she posted. Yves replied complimenting her back and they started talking. A few weeks later Yves decided to invite her to a night out.

They first meet up at a trendy bar known for its lively atmosphere and creative cocktails. As they chat over drinks, they discover shared interests in music, fashion, and travel, sparking a sense of excitement for the night ahead.

After a few drinks, they move to a nearby club where they start dancing, they feel free. As they lose themselves in the music, dancing together with uninhibited joy and passion, their laughter blending seamlessly with the rhythm of the crowd.

As the night passes, they take breaks from dancing to share intimate conversations in quieter corners of the club, getting to know each other on a deeper level amidst the vibrant energy of the night.

"Roux, can I be honest with you for a moment?"

Roux smiles and says; "Of course, unnie. What's on your mind?"

After a deep breath she said; "I just want to say that I've really enjoyed getting to know you. There's something about your presence that's so captivating and genuine. I feel like I can be myself around you."

Roux blushes; "Thank you unnie. I feel the same way about you. It's rare to meet someone at first sight who understands you on such a deep level, you know?"

Yves nods; "Yeah, it is rare. But with you, it feels natural. I admire your strength and your passion for life. You have this inner light that shines so brightly, and it's impossible not to be drawn to it."

"Wow, thanks unnie. That means a lot to me. And you, there's a kindness in your eyes that speaks volumes. It's like you see the beauty in everyone and everything around you."

Yves looks away into the crowd before proceeding; "I try my best. But with you, it's easy. There's something about you that brings out the best in people. I feel like I can open up to you in ways I never thought possible."

Roux looks down to Yves hands, looks up where their eyes meet, and gently takes her hands; "I'm glad you feel that way. Even thought we only met personally today, I feel like I’ve known you for a long time."

As Yves squeezes her hands, she said; "Me too. I don't know what the future holds for us, but I do know that I want you to be a part of it. You've captivated me."

Roux leans very close to Yves, before whispering; "Then let's make the most of every moment we have together. Whatever the future may bring." before pulling her back to the dance floor.

As the early hours of the morning approach, they decide to call it a night, their hearts racing with adrenaline and their faces flushed with excitement. With promises to do it all again soon, Roux and Yves part ways, their spirits lifted by the unforgettable memories they've created together on this exhilarating date.

Giselle:

Giselle and Roux met back in 2020, when their schedules overlapped. Since then they kept talking and going out. Roux just called Giselle and asked her to come over.

They start by watching random tv shows, before watching the movie “Carol”. The movie is pretty intense, and made them cry at the end. As it ended they started discussing their favorite scenes, moments and critics of the movie. That lead to an intimate conversation.

“You know Roux, I really connect with you! We share similar struggles, issues, and moments. I feel you and I match.”

“I feel that way too! I guess we both dealt with bad comments from the media..”

“Yes! Talking about that, how are you dealing with that scandal? I mean, it’s bad enough to have people eyeing your personal life, but something so intimate as sexuality must be shit.”

“I mean, I guess I’m fine? Yeah it’s annoying, but that’s nothing really I can do? Dealing with this industry have so many problems, but also have me the ability to share my music, my passion, something so dear to me…and have so many supporters feels nice, you know?”

“Yeah, I know. Feels nice to not feel alone.”

After a moment of quiet, she said:

“I don’t mean to be weird or make you uncomfortable, but is it true?”

“Yeah, it is.”

“Oh, hope you don’t let anything bad get to your head, because you are a really amazing person, intelligent and gorgeous at that.”

“Oh stop you’ll make me blush.”

“You know, I’ve never really thought of myself being with a girl…I guess I never gave myself the time to really think. All of my life I just thought I had to like men, before I even stop to think what I really like..”

“Oh I know that feeling. I guess you just have to have some introspective moment with yourself, do you see yourself with a woman? With a man? Or both? Do you see yourself settling down with all of them? Or just one of them? Guess you should just really think, and don’t pressure yourself with it! Everyone have their own time!”

“Thanks….though I feel like I wouldn’t mind doing any of that with you…of course, slowly, but if you are open to it, I wouldn’t mind…”

As they cuddle together, they spent the rest of the night talking and just being comfortable with each other.

Yunjin:

This year 2024 Coachella happens to have both Le Sserafim and Ateez performing. What a better excuse to have more time together? First they meet backstage and go out to see other head liners. But at their day off they decided to go to an amusement park.

They arrive early, eager to beat the crowds and make the most of their time. Hand in hand, they start with the roller coasters, laughing and screaming as they race through loops and twists, adrenaline pumping through their veins.

Afterward, they explore the various attractions, from the dizzying heights of the Ferris wheel to the exhilarating drops of the Tower of Terror. With each ride, they bond over shared excitement and occasional nervousness, reassuring each other with comforting words and playful nudges.

As they stroll through the park, they indulge in classic carnival treats like cotton candy and funnel cakes, savoring the sweetness of the moment as they exchange stories and inside jokes.

Feeling adventurous, they challenge each other to games of skill and chance, determined to win each other stuffed animals as souvenirs of their unforgettable day.

As the sun sets and the park lights up with colorful displays, they find themselves on the carousel, riding side by side on majestic horses, feeling like carefree children lost in a whirlwind of joy and wonder.

As the night comes to a close, they share a quiet moment on a bench, watching the fireworks paint the sky with bursts of light and color. With hearts full of happiness and memories to last a lifetime, they share a tender kiss, grateful for the magic of their day at the amusement park.

"I've been thinking a lot lately about life, you know? A few years ago I thought I would just become a lawyer, but now I am here, traveling the world, seeing so many different cultures, exploring the world.”

“I get it, seeing all of this make you feel so accomplished."

“You know, whenever I’m with you, it’s like the world stops, the sounds fades, it’s just you and me.”

“That's exactly how I feel too. You just always manage to make so comfortable, so nice."

"And I love that. I love how we can just be ourselves with each other, no pretenses, no expectations."

"Me too. It's like we have this special connection that's just ours, you know?"

"Yeah, I do. And I never want to take it for granted.."

“I'm truly grateful for tonight. It was a cool way to rewind."

“You’re right.” With that they share an embrace watching the sun go down.

[g1rltalk]

GIRL TALK is a five member fictional girl group under Delphi Entertainment consisting of Soojin, Minji, Holly, Mei, and Yuuri. Starting as a pre-debut project, GIRLISH, in early 2017, each member was introduced to the public through a solo promotional single and dance and song covers. GIRL TALK was set to debut on November 1, 2017 but their debut was delayed due to unknown reasons. They debuted on May 5th, 2018 with the digital single Summer Dream. Their debut was received well by the public, quickly rising their way up to stardom.

Despite their rising domestic popularity, GIRL TALK did not become successful internationally until 2019 with their song Fancy, a mature concept, a stark contrast to their usual bubblegum pop sound while maintaining their upbeat style.

Dubbed the Princesses of K-pop, they are considered one of the most successful Korean girl groups internationally. They are stylistically recognized by their versatile sound ranging from bubblegum pop to girl crush to funk rock.

GIRL TALK is considered to be one of the best live vocal groups in K-pop and is known for their highly synchronized and complex dance routines, having been awarded the Best Dance Performance Award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards two times in a row for their dance performance.

Random Yexi Facts: Part 3

Is a significant shareholder in Team Wang, which Jackson surprised her with.

When they all got their own places Yexi didn't want to live alone so she debated asking Minghao or Jun to be her Roomie but Mingyu and Wonwoo brought up staying together since they knew she didn't want to live alone.

She picks up languages easily but because of this she ends up blending languages into the same sentence sometimes.

She's gotten offers to do movies in China but she never moves forwarded because she hates being alone.

One night while drunk her and Cheol talked about his enlistment and she told him that she was worried about when everyone would enter because it had always been the 14 of them. He promised to let her keep his ring on a necklace so she'd always have the reminder that it was temporary.

She was shocked when she found out that Taehyung from BTS was into her.

She has her own room at Jackson's place despite rarely being there.

She helped produce some of the songs on Jungkooks album under a different name.

She gets excited every time she gets to meet/talk to NCTs Mark.

She visits the other Got7 members, mostly Jinyoung and Bambam.

The Got7 members all still check in with her occasionally since Jackson is usually in China.

She was tongue tied for the first time she met ITZYs Ryujin.

Gave up the opportunity to be a coach in Street Dance China

Her biggest fan base are the males in Japan, they go feral for her over there.

She gets a lot of opportunities in Japan but she isn't the biggest fan of doing things alone since in the past she's been put in awkward positions (more so in the beginning of her career)

Her only big stipulation when resigning the contract was that she would get the veto power for any hair cut or hair color the company wanted.

Bam (jungkooks dog) is staying at her apartment while jungkook is serving in the military.

What Happened?

Word Count: 2,380 TW/CW: Swearing, talks of bullying/teasing/mean girl behavior, talks of anxiety as well. Also mentions the fear of being alone and being ignored. Note: This is a work of fiction, I am not saying these girls are actually mean girls. Don't hate. It's not real. Don't like it just keep scrolling thanks Overview: Evie finally talks about the Anti ITZY controversy with some of the SKZ boys and speaks out on it on her Instagram. Request? Technically yes by @elizalabs3 Who's Involved: Danceracha (Hyunjin, Felix, and Leeknow) and Evie

January 14th, 2024

Evie has been acting really strange recently, and the boys have all taken notice. Every time they’ve asked her what’s bothering her she just tells her that she’s fine and that they are being over dramatic and over analyzing her behavior. She’s been trying to mask how she’s been feeling but it’s gotten to a point where she can’t keep doing that anymore. One more question and she feels like she is about to explode. She feels overly stressed and doesn’t know how to express it, she tried doing her normal distractions but they aren’t helping. Comments are laying heavy on the idol's mind as she paces the length of the room and rubs her arms.

Hyunjin finally breaks a silence that no one even realized was there. “My love, what’s wrong?”

Evie lifts up her hand dismissively. “Don’t.” She barks in a harsh tone.

“Evie, don’t lash out at Hyunjin.” Felix says gently, grabbing her hand to get her attention. “We’ve all noticed you’ve been bothered. You can talk to us about anything, you know this. We love you, we don’t like seeing you suffer in silence like this, Bear.”

“It’s seriously nothing.” Evie says, pulling her hand away from Felix and walking away.

The two boys shake their heads at one another before following Evie, they are determined to get the truth out of her and will not stop until they get answers. She’s been acting weird for over a month, so something is clearly wrong. Evie can hear the boys quickly follow behind her and she rolls her eyes. She knows these two won’t stop until they get some sort of answer from her, but she doesn’t know how to talk about this. She hasn’t known how to talk about it, that's why she hasn’t.

“Oi! Ari! Wait up!” Felix says from behind her and she stops and turns to face him with her arms crossed over her chest.

“What do you guys want? Can’t you just leave me alone? I clearly have nothing to say to you.”

“No. We can’t leave you alone.” Hyunjin says as he stares at Evie.

“You may not have something to say but you definitely have something on your mind, so why don’t we just sit down and talk about it.” Felix pipes in carefully.

“Yeah, we can all cook or order food and eat and just figure this out together.” Hyunjin says softly brushing her hair out of her face as he steps toward her. “I hate seeing you so tense and worked up like this Vi.”

Evie sighs, there’s no way of getting out of it this time. “Fine. Let’s eat while we talk about this, I don’t think I can do this without motivation.”

“Thank you.” The boys say in unison before they all decide what to order for food.

While they wait for food to arrive Evie and the two boys sit down and she rehearses what she wants to say in her head a few times, each time she is unhappy with it. How does she talk about something that happened like six years ago? Something that she's avoided like the plague since her debut with Stray Kids. It’s just awkward to even think about anymore. She should’ve just sucked it up and gotten over it but she never got closure so it all still hurts every time it’s brought up. With the new resurgence as well it is just too much. Evie must’ve gotten lost in her thoughts because the next thing she knows Felix and Hyunjin are walking up to her with the food they ordered in their hands.

“Alright Evs, foods here.” Felix beams as they sit on either side of her and they sort out who’s food is whose.

“Yeah…” Evie says with a forced smile. She takes a few bites before she picks at it trying to muster the courage to talk about it.

Evie shakes her head and slaps her cheeks to hype herself up. “This is hard to talk about.” She shrugs as she stares at her food, picking at it with her chopsticks again.

“We aren’t going anywhere Vi, take your time.” Hyunjin reassures placing a hand on her leg and squeezing it slightly as he does.

“Yeah, I know. You’ve been pestering me all day, it’s giving me a fucking migraine.” Evie says rubbing her temples before taking another bite of food.

After swallowing her bite she sighs, “I guess I should just rip it off like a bandaid huh?”

“If that’s how you want to do it mate.” Felix replies, shrugging.

“This is fucking weird to talk about it’s been so long…”

“What is it about?” Hyunjin tilts his head as he asks.

Bluntly Evie says, “Itzy.”

“That’s what’s been bothering you? The Itzy comments?” Felix seems confused.

“Yes and no. It’s more what the girls did to me and how they treated me. I’m supposed to just be happy around them and not hurt. I have yet to get a fucking apology for how awful they were to me.”

Hyunjin’s eyes widen as he sees Evie make a tight fist, clearly getting overly emotional. “What’d they do to you my love?”

Evie shakes her head and her hands trying to process everything. Is she really talking about this? “I need a minute… Please…” her voice cracks as angry tears threaten to fall. The boys just nod and let her take her time.

“You have to remember I haven’t even talked about this in therapy yet… So this is me finally processing it after all those years okay…” Evie says before taking big bites of her food to try and forget the conversation at hand.

“That’s why it’s bothering you so much.” Felix observes and the girl just nods her head as she finishes the big bite she just took.

“Yeah…” Evie sighs once more before speaking again. “As you guys know after I was cut from the show and from the group in 2018 I trained with Itzy for a while. And to say I was an outcast is an understatement. Those girls treated me like I was fucking dirt. Do you know how that feels? The group of people who you are supposed to live with and spend the majority of your time with hating your fucking existence. That hurts so much more than anyone could possibly know.”

Evie has to stop speaking as tears fall from her eyes and she starts to shake, emotions she’s never truly processed hitting her like a stab right in her heart. She feels so small, so broken. She wants to scream and punch things but she knows that won’t fix anything. The two boys sit in stunned silence staring at the crumbling female before them. They can tell she’s not done talking but they just do their best to comfort her, they don’t add anything worried they’d make it worse. Hyunjin rubs your leg gently as Felix lays her head on his chest near his heart and he steadies his heartbeat and breathing for her to listen to as he knows that’s something that brings her a lot of comfort. After a few moments she clears her throat and continues to talk.

“It started with one but then they all sorta just gained up on me. It was like they said ‘bully the reject she can handle it.’ I was like their verbal punching bag. What hurt the most though was when they made fun of my speaking, as if I can control having an accent or having ‘weird’ Korean… I was fluent in Korean at the time too so I don’t understand what their issue was with me. I didn’t do anything to those girls. It was like they were mad that I almost debuted before them or something. There’s no way PD-nim didn’t see the way they treated me, they didn’t fucking hide the fact they didn’t like me. So yeah, when they debuted I did feel some sort of way but guess what I got over it. I trained with the NMIXX girls until it was time for me to come back to my home, you guys, and when I was with them it was heavenly. They treated me with so much love and respect, maybe because I was the oldest or maybe it’s because they weren’t in a hateful mood I don't know.”

Evie takes a deep breath realizing she was talking really fast, at a slower pace she continues. “I know you can’t get along with everyone and I understand and accept that. However, to treat someone with so much hate and disrespect feels uncalled for. I never once did anything to instigate anything, and to think. Chaeryoung asked me to do a dance with her on tiktok. NO. Leave me alone. Like, haven’t you done enough when you were doing mean girl behavior with your other members toward an already beaten down trainee?”

When Evie finally looks up she notices that Lee Know was leaning on the door frame, he seemed to have been listening from afar. She waves him over and he comes and sits with them. Everyone is silent for a few moments as Evie processes everything.

“I’m not an anti. I just don’t want to show support toward people who were hateful toward me, maybe that had a bad couple of weeks/months. That doesn’t mean take it out on me. Unless maybe they didn’t want me on the team and at that point just be honest and don’t be mean about it? I don’t know. Just the way they went about it and then no one apologizing even after years just seems wild to me.” Evie shrugs. “I don’t know how to talk about this with the public because I don’t want Itzy to be hated, I just want an apology so I can just get that awful chapter closed and maybe I can heal.”

“I understand. If you want we can maybe try and help you talk about it? To put the rumors to rest and ease your mind a bit.” Lee Know suggests.

“That’d be nice…”

“Hey, Evie.” Hyunjin says. “We love you. I’m sorry they treated you like that, that’s not fair to you. I think you should report it if it’s still affecting you after so long, I mean for an entire month you barely slept and have been acting really strange because of the internet calling you an anti again.”

“I’m not gonna do that.” Evie says fast. “It’s fine. I’m fine really. It just gets exhausting seeing people saying I’m an anti all because they debuted before me and without me. So what if I didn’t make the original line up, I’m clearly much happier where I am now so what’s the big deal?”

The boys shrug and Felix speaks this time. “I think people just want a reason to hate you mate. The fact they can’t find one bugs ‘em so they bring this up every six to eight months to get a reaction outta ya.”

“Maybe but it’s heartbreaking because even some of our stays think I’m bitter. I am not bitter, just broken-hearted. Is that the same? I don’t think so.”

Lee Know sighs. “I don’t get why everyone has to try and start something with you. You’re just trying to live your life. Let’s make a post on your Instagram and pin it yeah? We can also have an official statement released too. Let’s just say you aren’t an anti, because you said you aren’t, and we can either come up with some bullshit excuse or be straight up honest and just say we just don’t get along and that’s okay we are human. Or something. Up to you of course. It’s your situation after all.”

Evie scratches at her arm before she grabs her phone. She puts the camera against her leg to have a solid black background before writing her statement first in English then in Korean on two different slides. She puts them in the only highlight that is on her page labeled “itzy.” The statement reads as follows:

Hello everyone, this is Evelyn. You may know me better as Evie from the KPop group Stray Kids. This post is going to be a bit different from anything I’ve ever done before. This is my official statement about all the rumors and allegations that I am an Itzy anti. I would like to say I am NOT an Itzy anti. I’ve never been an Itzy anti. The girls and I just didn’t get along in our trainee days, maybe now that we are older we could try for a friendship but I am by no means an anti. I actually enjoy some of their music. I just avoided them due to conflicted feelings I felt about everything that happened. Although we didn’t get along, I will always wish the best for them and wish them nothing but good luck in any future endeavors they have. I’m sorry for not speaking out sooner or talking about this sooner, I never really knew how to address this without giving away too many details as this is something that is extremely personal to not only me but the girls that are in Itzy. Next time something comes up I will be sure to handle it differently, and hopefully better. I ask you guys to not pry any farther into this as I do not want to talk about it anymore than this. I am only human, as are they, I deserve privacy as does everyone else. Just because I am an idol doesn't mean I do not deserve privacy. Thank you for listening.

She showed the boys the statement and they all agreed it looked okay and before okaying it with any of her managers or the staff she just posted it. She didn’t care if she got in trouble, she just was tired of hearing it. After the post she turned her phone off, not wanting to hear or see the reaction of the public and she just sort of sat there on the floor and cried as the, now three, boys tried their best to calm her down and help her get out of her head.

Twice's 10th member getting permission to date ITZY's Yeji

A/N: Hey guys, I'm sorry for disappearing but I got my wisdom teeth out so yeah- lol. Anyway- :D I hope that my friend Thira3 that gave me this idea on Wattpad likes it! :)

The request: Hi I saw a you do a request about dating yeji I was wondering if you could do where yeji is in love with y/n and yeji ask the twice members if she could date y/n. They were hesitant because the members still saw y/n as kid especially the j-line( even though already off age) but after they saw how happy y/n is with yeji and how yeji babying y/n they agreed. Thank you ❤️

PS: Tysm for everyone that reads what I write, I hope I can bring a smile to your faces every time I post! I'd like to thank whoever sent me this idea 'cause I loved to write it <3

__________________________________________________________

In the heart of Seoul, where the city's vibrancy and tradition melded seamlessly, lived a tale of an unexpected romance that would forever change the lives of two young women. Y/N, the 10th member of TWICE, was known for her radiant smile, infectious laughter, and an endearing innocence that had always endeared her to her unnies. But little did she know that her life was about to take a turn she never anticipated.

Among the unnies, there was one who had been holding a secret. Yeji, the charismatic leader of ITZY, was the epitome of cool confidence onstage. Yet, behind that fierce facade was a heart that beat irregularly whenever the youngest was around (Not Shy is a lie~ atm lol). Yeji's feelings had gradually evolved from friendship to something deeper, something she could no longer ignore.

One cold autumn evening, after a day filled with practice and schedules, Yeji finally decided to open her heart. She invited Y/N to her favourite spot,  a tranquil rooftop garden, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city below. Underneath the starlit sky, the soft murmur of a city at rest, Yeji took a deep breath and spoke her truth, her voice a mix of trepidation and resolve.

Yeji - Y/N, there's something I've been wanting to tell you... 

TWICE's angel's eyes shone with curiosity and warmth, urging Yeji to continue. 

Yeji - I... I've realized that my feelings for you go beyond friendship. I've fallen in love with you, Y/N.

The words hung in the air like constellations, each one carrying the weight of Yeji's vulnerability. the maknae was taken aback, her heart fluttering like a hummingbird's wings. She searched Yeji's eyes, seeking sincerity, and found it there, shining like a lighthouse in the darkness. Y/N felt a flood of emotions swirl within her. She cherished their friendship, the way Yeji's laughter echoed in her memories and the late-night conversations they shared. Yet, this confession introduced a new layer to their relationship, one that the younger girl hadn't considered before.

Yeji, sensing Y/N's internal struggle, hurried to speak, her voice a mix of anxiety and earnestness. 

Yeji - I understand if this is surprising or if you need time. But I couldn't keep my feelings hidden any longer. I wanted you to know, Y/N!

TWICE's honey's heart was torn between the familiarity of their friendship and the exhilaration of this unexpected revelation. She looked at Yeji, feeling a gentle warmth radiating from within.

Y/N - Yeji unnie, I appreciate your honesty. I need some time to process everything if that's okay.

Yeji nodded, her smile tinged with relief. 

Yeji - Of course, Y/N. Take all the time you need. I'll be here, no matter what (such a cutie).

In the days that followed, TWICE's sunshine found herself navigating uncharted emotional territory. She cherished her friendship with Yeji and was grateful for the love that had been expressed. But she couldn't ignore the gentle whispers of her heart, the possibility of something more. 

As Y/N wrestled with her feelings, the word inevitably spread within the TWICE sisters. The unnies gathered, concern etching their features as they discussed Yeji's confession. Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu all had their opinions, each reflecting their unique bond with their baby.

The J-line, known for their protective instincts over the younger members, were the most hesitant. Momo, Sana, and Mina had seen Y/N grow up and shared moments of laughter and guidance. To them, Y/N was still the cherished younger sibling, the one they'd nurtured and looked after. Momo sighed, her gaze distant as she spoke softly.

Momo - I mean, she's still our baby Y/N, isn't she? Can we really picture her in a romantic relationship?

Sana nodded in agreement, her brows furrowed. 

Sana - It's just strange to think about. Our maknae dating someone, especially Yeji.

Mina, usually the calm and composed one, added her opinion to the convo.

Mina - But if Y/N truly cares for Yeji, and if Yeji makes her happy, shouldn't we support her?

As the discussions continued, opinions shifted, and perceptions evolved. The unnies started to notice the small things: The way Y/N's eyes lit up when Yeji entered the room, the laughter that seemed to come easier when they were together and the way they looked out for each other during tough times.

One day, as the members were gathered backstage before a performance, Y/N and Yeji walked in, their hands entwined. There was an air of comfort between them, a sense of unity that spoke volumes. Momo, Sana, and Mina exchanged a knowing glance, a silent understanding passing between them. During a break, Tzuyu approached her only dongsang. 

Tzuyu - Hey, bae, can I talk to you for a moment?

Y/N nodded and followed Tzuyu to a quieter corner. Tzuyu looked at her, her gaze earnest yet gentle. 

Tzuyu - Love, we've been talking as unnies, and I just wanted to say that if Yeji makes you happy, we support you. You're not a kid anymore, you're an adult capable of making your own choices.

Tears welled up in the youngest's eyes as she realized the depth of her unnies' love and understanding. She hugged Tzuyu tightly, whispering a heartfelt thank you.

Over time, as they witnessed the tenderness and care that Yeji showered upon their child, as they saw the happiness that radiated from both of them when they were together, the unnies' hesitance melted away. They began to see the love between Y/N and Yeji. The turning point came during a quiet evening at the dorm. The members were sitting together, sharing stories and laughter. The couple was wrapped up in each other, their affection evident in every touch and glance. The J-line exchanged a glance once more, this time filled with warmth and approval.

Momo cleared her throat, drawing everyone's attention. 

Momo - Darling, Yeji, we want to say something.

She exchanged a knowing smile with Sana and Mina before continuing.

Momo - We've had our concerns, but seeing the two of you together, we can't deny the happiness you bring each other. If Yeji makes you happy, sweetheart, then we're happy for you both.

Tears shimmered in Y/N's eyes as she looked at her unnies, feeling a flood of emotions overwhelm her. Yeji held her hand, her grip reassuring, as she smiled at the members. 

Y/N - Thank you, unnies. Your approval means the world to us, to me.

From that moment, Y/N and Yeji's relationship bloomed without reservation. As autumn melted into winter and then blossomed into spring, their relationship continued to be written, a melody of two hearts that had found their harmonious rhythm with the TWICE unnies alongside them, and this made the couple have only one thought:

I am so loved by my dear unnies.

A/N: I apologise for any errors, English is not my first language. Pls, let me know if there's something wrong, ty for reading <3

synopsis. The aftermath of the worst time of your life so far, Part 2 of this fic

Kpop Masterlist

Fandom Masterlist

True to your word, the box of graduation invitations arrived right on time. You’d first gotten a text from kakao notifying you that your package had made it to the apartment safely. Then Chan sent a very dry and short message right after that saying he’d put it in your room. Your room that you hadn’t been in since the whole fiasco last week.

You thought you’d gotten passed this stage with everyone. It was like you were on the outside looking in again. Not belonging with them was such a lonely feeling now that you’d had a taste of it.

Since leaving that fateful meeting room, you’d been staying with ITZY in their dorm for the time being. Not wanting to be near the others outside of practice. Of course they’d tried to message you with apologies since you wouldn’t go home but you were still hurt!

Who wouldn’t be? You were obviously justified with how upset you were about the whole incident, there was no doubt about that. And of course they let you have the space you needed. But if you were being honest, you just didn’t know how to face your members or if they even wanted to really see you.

The messages from the younger ones happened for a day or two but then stopped immediately afterwards. You weren’t sure if it was because they realized they didn’t need to placate your feelings or what. And that thought had led you to spiral downward mentally.

So you stayed away from them for now.

You responded to Chan before heaving a sigh and rolling over in bed. Your eyes becoming heavy as the beige of the wall dulled your senses. It was your only constant lately, besides the girls when they came to check in on you. Ever since you left them, there was just this tightening pressure on your chest that wouldn’t go away.

Sleep would surely help, wouldn’t it?

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

Your Dorm Same Day Chan’s POV

A.Y/N: Thanks.

No cute little sticker. No little emoji. No nothing.

Sitting at the edge of his bed, Chan sighed as he looked down at the only message you’d sent in a week.

Ever since the argument, he and the boys had been lackluster in what work they’d been able to get done. When he saw how hurt you were before leaving that room, he couldn’t face you. He felt ashamed for not hearing you out properly.

And he wasn’t the only one, all the kids felt bad too. Felix, especially. Since he had already known about your situation prior, only to forget in the heat of the moment. Lee Know even had to get him in the middle of the night to stop Felix from crying until dawn when you didn’t come home that first night.

So he wanted to give you the space you needed and deserved.

But they all felt it; the hole your absence had left.

While it was true that you hadn’t been with them for more than a year at this point; you had integrated yourself so well with everyone. He felt like a total dickhead. You had finally started opening up to him. All week prior you had been hyping them up for a surprise and it was— FUCK!

Why did he do that to you??

He was brought out of his spiraling thoughts by a sudden knock on his open bedroom door. Looking up he saw Jeongin standing there pensively.

“Changbinnie hyung’s back from meeting with Chaeryeong,” the youngest member said.

He nodded before scrubbing his face with a sigh. Getting up and following the maknae into the living room, he noticed his other members had gathered already. Everyone sat facing Changbin as he perched on the sofa, waiting for him to speak.

“How’d it go, Bin?” he prompted.

“…Chaeryeong-ah said that Y/N-ah isn’t doing well,” Changbin reluctantly answered while staring at his hands. Occasionally rubbing them together as a form of self-comfort.

Everyone physically deflated at the news. Nobody wanted you to feel like this, especially when on your own. They all saw how hard you had worked to be a part of their team and their fuck up made you shut them all out.

“She said that Y/N-ah doesn’t really leave their dorm. And that…,” he trailed off.

“What is it Binnie?”

“…She cried the first two nights she was there,” he relayed quietly.

Chan could already tell Felix’s face was about to crumble once again while Seungmin silently ground his teeth together. No one wanted to look at each other.

He looked around the room at his kids. Taking in their facial expressions, downcast eyes and drooping postures. Each one as despondent as the last. He ran his hand through his hair trying to come up with something that could fix this entire situation. He wasn’t sure how much longer they could last like this, you included.

When Lee Know silently grabbed onto Hyunjin’s hand to comfort him, he knew what he had to do.

“Changbin,” he said catching the attention of all of guys. “Call Chaeryeong, I have an idea that could hopefully fix this.”

He didn’t miss the optimistic looks thrown his way.

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ . JYPE Building That Evening Your  POV

“Chaeryeong-ah, I really don’t want to be here,” you grumbled as you followed the younger woman inside the JYPE building.

“It’ll be really quick unnie. I have to meet with my manager and then we can go out for food. You don’t even have to go up to the meeting floor. Just wait for me in your practice room.”

She picked up on your hesitancy immediately.

“Your group doesn’t have anything scheduled right now, right? No one should be practicing in there,” she gently reminded you.

You chewed on your bottom lip in contemplation at her words.

“It’ll be ok unnie,” she promised while rubbing your arm comfortingly. “I’ll meet up with you after ok?”

She gently pushed you in the direction of the elevators to get to your designated floor. . ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

All while in the elevator you had contemplated reaching out to Chan. Your fingers fidgeted with your phone strap as you stared down at your message chat with your leader. Your uneasiness showed with how many times you typed out then erased your message to him.

Just as you were giving up for now, you walked into the practice room where you were immediately rendered frozen. You must have been sleeping because there was no way you could be seeing what you currently were. Mostly all of your members were there, though no one had realized you had opened the door yet. With the exception of Changbin, everyone was preoccupied around the room. They weren’t practicing but they were setting up, for what though you hadn’t a clue.

“Felix hyung, do you want any help with setting up the desserts?” I.N asked the older boy as he finished adjusting his side of a streamer.

“No Innie, thanks but I want it to look a certain way…” he trailed off while concentrating on his task. Every other second he would slightly adjust one of the cupcakes on the table before him.

Even with the distance between you, you could tell just how red-rimmed his eyes were. In fact, looking around the room, none of the others were faring well either. The bags underneath their eyes practically matching your own. You hadn’t been able to sleep well while staying with the girls, only getting in naps when you were exhausted. It just wasn’t the same as your home with the guys.

“Minnie, does she listen to this group?” Han questioned, showing Seungmin his phone for whatever playlist he’d created.

Glancing over to look closer, Seungmin shook his head as he tied a balloon shut.

“No,” was his immediate response while grabbing another balloon from the pile in front of him. He was surrounded by many colorful globs already; you kind of wondered how long he had been at it. How long they’ve all been at it. “She’ll tolerate it if they’re playing somewhere but she doesn’t like them.” The puppy explained before starting on the new balloon.

With a look of silent understanding, Han went back to work on his phone.

“A little lower Channie hyung,” you heard from Hyunjin. Turning your head you see the 3 older members of your group huddled next to the wall.

“How about now,” Chan questioned while propping up a makeshift banner. Lee Know stood on the other side trying to be aligned with the oldest member.

“Mm, pick it up just a little,” the artist responded while eyeing them with his thumb out. As Chan moved to adjust his side better, you were able to see what was written on the banner.

‘We’re Sorry Y/N-ah’

Oh. Oh.

This was all for you.

You brought your hands up to your face silently. The overwhelming sense of emotion was enough to make your heart ache. There was a lot of effort put into this, as much as grown men could do on their own at least.

Just as you were about to call out to them, the door busted open scaring the shit out of you and everyone else in the room.

“CHAERYEONG-AH SAID THAT SHE SENT Y/N-AH HERE ALREADY!” Changbin yelled as soon as he entered. He turned to look at you briefly, “Hi Y/N-ah,” and then looked expectantly at the others.

You waved quietly to him in greeting, taking everyone a second to realize that you were there.

“Y/N-AH!”/ “NOONA!”

Wincing at their exuberant volume, you gave them a wry smile, “…Hi guys.”

They wanted to hug you, that much you could tell. The younger ones jumped up from their spots on  the ground and began to move forward before stopping themselves. Changbin even tried to reach out for you but balled his hands into fists and kept them at his sides instead. Most of them turned to Chan who cleared his throat and stepped forward.

Your heart raced as he bit his lip in worry. Watched on as he clenched and unclenched his fists; a nervous tic you’d noticed that he did occasionally. He took a moment to look at you. Only then could you really see how distraught he was. His cheeks were sunken in and the bags underneath his eyes were more prominent than usual. And if you squinted hard enough you could see how bloodshot they were.

“Y/N-ah…Y/N,” he started in English quietly. “I’ve been replaying everything in my head since that day. No amount of words I say can ever express how truly sorry I am. How sorry we are. I never meant to hurt you. I never wanted to be that negative force for you here. I value you as both a person and a member of this group. You mean a lot to me, to us. I am so sorry that I didn’t give you a chance to explain yourself. I regret…we regret everything that happened.

We wanted to sincerely apologize to you in person. You mean a lot to us and we realized immediately how hurtful this was. We can’t excuse our actions; we can only try to rebuild the trust you used to have for us. We take full responsibility for how hurt we made you feel…”

“Christopher…,” you finally acknowledged. “You guys really hurt me when everything happened. You don’t know how alone I felt, especially since no one had my back. I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”

Those that could understand English looked down in remorse.

“Noo— Y/N, I wanted to make sure you heard an apology form me,” Felixsaid softly while coming forward to gently grab onto your sleeve. “You told me about yourself and when it mattered the most, I let you down. I am so sorry Y/N, from the bottom of my heart. You may not forgive us now, but I pray that you will eventually.”

“Oh Felix,” you cupped his cheek tenderly. The purple bags and red rimmed eyes more visible now that you were this close to one another. “You’re right. I don’t forgive you right now, but one day. And while it wasn’t ok what you all did, I do appreciate the effort you all are going to.”

“That’s why we did all this, for you.” Seungmin piped up from beside Han, gesturing to the decorated room. “Not so that you could forgive us, but to just show you how much we care about you. That you’re a part of us no matter how stupid we can be.”

Everyone murmurs in agreement at his words. You look around the room again, truly taking everything and everyone in.

“Come home,” I.N blurted out when your silence was too much for him. “We miss you. It’s not the same without you at home.”

Before you could respond, Hyunjin engulfed you in a tight hug immediately followed by a blubbering Felix.

“Come back!”

“Please!”

“We’re sorry!”

You chuckled softly at their antics, patting one of them on the back with you limited range.

From this point on, you knew it was going to be a tough journey forward. But you had a feeling it would work itself out in the end. The painful feeling in your chest that’s been there since this whole thing started began to slowly ease up. You felt like you could finally breathe again.

a/n. Hey folks, long time no see! Had an internship during the summer then school started back up a week after it ended. Now I'm 5 classes in this semester until December. Wish me luck lmaoo

the good and the bad: hwang yeji x aespa! reader

as the leader of itzy, sometimes you see how mentally exhausting it is for yeji to handle the responsibilities alone. all you could do is let her cope, not forcing her into telling you anything, isn’t that what makes a relationship healthy?

being idols within a competitive industry is already a challenge, with the additional responsibility as a leader - yeji was on the verge of breaking down within closed doors. you understand the struggles of being an idol, the cameras on you 24/7, little to no privacy, and having to maintain an image for everyone to love and criticise.

 it had been quite late when you received the call, hoping it was your girlfriend who had promised you ahead of time that you’ll keep her company virtually as you write the lyrics for your own comeback. lia had contacted you ahead of time about how yeji was crying after recording for their comeback. that’s where you stand right now, in front of the itzy dormitories while waiting for someone to open the door for you. a part of you was prepared for this type of scenario, especially with your own members who had mental breakdowns due to the company’s unrealistic demands.

as the door opens, you’re greeted by ryujin with her hair tied and a face mask placed perfectly as she smiles at you. noticing the plastic bags that you’re carrying, a very familiar snack visible - yeji’s favorite.

“she’s in her room.” you follow ryujin as you both walk inside their dorm; chaeryeong and yuna on the couch talking amongst themselves but waving at you as you enter the area, while lia is standing in front of yeji’s room.

“lover girl to the rescue.” despite the situation, lia still managed to joke around with you. she’s your best friend and the one that introduced you to yeji. “yeji, you have a visitor.”

you couldn’t hear much from the other side of the door, aside from the faint sniffles and heavy breathing - yeji still didn’t budge. until you knocked on her door.

“yeddeong, could you open the door for me?”

the faint “y/n?” was the first thing you heard clearly, her voice a bit raspy followed by fast footsteps and the door being opened harshly by her. she moved fast as she hugged you tightly and cried harder than you had expected when lia called you.

it had been 30 minutes since yeji pulled you into her room and shut everyone out. she had been cuddling you and had not said a word regarding what had happened during the recording for their comeback – you learned not to rush her when it comes to these things. so, you laid there in silence, hearing yeji’s faint sobs as you caressed her back and held her tight.

yeji has different ways of coping. one is going out and driving to a park where she could walk around and enjoy the scenery, then there’s one that involves you. comfortability is the first thing yeji looks for in her partner and right away you give her comfort and the feeling of safety – her rock when times are tough. she isn’t one to speak about her feelings right away, more on letting her rationality take charge, which makes her a great leader and a great idol. that’s why you fell for her as well. she has such a charm that could make anyone fall for her. with every good thing that has happened between you two, there’s always the bad side of things.

she’s not one to let her emotions get the best of her, bottling those feelings up until she feels erupting like a volcano. for someone who is mentally strong, comes the emotional side of things that she refuses to let anyone see. despite from the start of your relationship where yeji pushed you away when she goes into hermit mode and avoiding any sort of contact for days until she feels better, you stayed. even if you push her away when you fall into those toxic mechanisms that you’d developed as a trainee, yeji was there for you.

the least you could do is stay and wait for her to open up. whether her rants are about being a leader or how their company is overworking them to the brink of exhaustion. in the comforts of her bed where yeji lays her head on top of your chest listening to your steady heartbeat as her mind is racing, in need of someone to keep her grounded.

“sleep for now, i’ll still be here when you wake up.”

yeji knew she could trust you as she let her walls down and sleep for the night, knowing that you’ll be in her arms when she wakes up.

an: the nasan first date is finally out everybody scream!,!! getting this done is the highlight of my life if i’m being honest. feedback and reblogs are much appreciated 💐

eve’s masterlist

Eve had always loved the night sky. Since she often worked long hours, she would sometimes see the stars more than the sun. If she tried hard enough, she would probably be able to name the constellations.

The stars twinkled as she drove to the park, where her and San had agreed to meet up for their date. Yunho was going to drop him off as he was the only member with a licence. As she approached their meet up spot, she saw a car waiting by the benches. She pulled up behind them and was about to call San when he exited the car. She exhaled deeply as he walked towards her car, trying to calm her nerves.

“Hi,” San greeted when he opened the door, a lunch bag in his hands.

“Hi,” Eve greeted back, smiling at him. “Sorry for making you wait, I couldn’t decide on my outfit.”

“Well, you look really good,” he said, getting in the car. Eve blushed, looking down at her dress.

She cleared her throat. “Thanks. Um, you look good, too.” She gestured to his outfit. “So, how long do you think they’re going to sit there and watch us?” She asked, referring to his members in the car. She could see five pairs of eyes watching them through the back windshield.

“I don’t know. I should tell them to leave.” He moved to leave the car.

She stopped him. “No! Um. It’s okay, just… shocked that they’re still there.”

Yunho must have gotten tired of sitting stationary in the car because he soon ignited it and drove off. They could both imagine the complaints that filled the car at that moment from the members who wanted to watch them longer.

“Well,” Eve started, gesturing in front of her, “they’re not anymore.”

“Yeah,” San said. He perked up, shaking the lunch bag in his hands. “I brought the snacks.”

“Oh!” She exclaimed. “What did you bring?”

“Dried sweet potato, Chocolate Binch Biscuits, Orion Choco Pie and chocolate covered strawberries,” he listed off, opening the bag to show her. She hummed in approval.

“Amazing choices, in my humble opinion,” she said, feeling her nerves slowly dissipate.

“Thanks, Wooyoung helped me pick them out. I know you like chocolate so he told me to just buy chocolate snacks.”

“Wooyoung’s always been one of the smartest members in ATEEZ.”

“I’m also up there, right?” He asked, looking at her.

She smiled sweetly at him. “Let’s not get too ambitious.”

He pouted, mumbling, “I should be up there, though. You should think I’m the best from my group.”

“Do you think I’m the best in my group?”

“Yes!” He answered. “But Ryujin’s funnier,” he teased with a smile, causing Eve to pout.

“Well, as smart as Wooyoung was with snack suggestions,” Eve began, “there’s one problem.”

San’s eyes widened. “What is it?”

Eve sighed, drawing out the tension as long as she could. “I’m allergic to strawberries.”

He stared at her for a second before bursting into laughter. “Yah, why are you lying, Biyah? You’re not allergic to strawberries.”

She nodded slowly, pursing her lips. “I kind of am.”

San slowly stopped laughing. “But… but you said you’ve always wanted to try chocolate covered strawberries.”

“Yeah. Because I can’t. For safety reasons.”

“How did I not know about this? I was so excited to give you this.” He huffed, closing his eyes.

“It never came up in conversation, it’s not your fault. If it makes you feel better, I’ll try one.” She suggested.

“Is that healthy?” San asked, looking at her. “Won’t you have an allergic reaction?”

“Well, duh!” Eve exclaimed. “But I’ve got an EpiPen,” she justified, tapping the centre console.

“Don’t you only get EpiPen’s when the allergy is serious?”

“I don’t know. But you prepared the chocolate strawberries for me because I said I’ve always wanted to try them.”

He shook his head profusely. “I don’t want you to have an allergic reaction on our first date!”

“Oh, is that more a third date thing?”

“It’s a never-going-to-happen thing,” San answered. He put the container with strawberries at the bottom of the bag.

Eve pouted. “This could be my one and only chance to try a chocolate covered strawberry.”

“No. It couldn’t, because I’m not giving you any.”

“Wooyoung would give me one,” she grumbled, shifting in her seat.

San smiled at her cuteness. “And he’d have to explain to your parents why he gave you strawberries,” he pointed out.

“Can’t argue with that.”

The conversation stalled there, the two smiling shyly at each other. Eve cleared her throat, looking away from San.

“How was your tour?” She asked him.

He sighed. “It was great. It really was, but it’s hard. I want to give my all for ATINY’s and be proud of my performance, but it’s like my standards are so high that I can’t even touch them.” He took out the Chocolate Binch Biscuits as he spoke, “You know at the end of a performance, you get that feeling in your chest like you just ran a marathon?” He waited for her to nod before continuing, “I felt that, but I still felt unsatisfied.”

Eve nodded in understanding, taking a biscuit from him. “I’m the last person that should tell you to be satisfied with your performances–” she chuckled, thinking about her perfectionism– “but you kind of just have to learn to be okay with not always being able to give your best.”

San stared at Eve with stars in his eyes. “Wow. You’re really wise.”

Eve scoffed, looking out the window. “I’m not.” She looked back to San. “I just ask my brother for advice a lot.”

“That’s nice. But enough work talk, we have every other day to talk about that,” San said, shaking his head. “For today, we aren’t idols. For today, we’re boyfriend and girlfriend. San and Nabi.”

A smile crept its way onto Eve’s face. “San and Nabi.” She nodded. “Well then, San, stop hogging the biscuits.” She grabbed the biscuits from his lap as he gaped at her.

“I was just holding it!” He protested with a scoff. “It’s not like I was keeping it away from you or anything.”

“You basically are,” Eve said, pouting cutely.

San smiled at her. “You’re very cute.”

Eve’s facial expression turned to one of shock. “No, I’m not. Don’t lie.”

“But you are.” San poked her cheek affectionately. “You should give me boyfriend privileges and just let me be the only one who can call you cute.”

Eve tilted her head in confusion. “Everybody calls me cute, though.”

“Yeah, but when I say it, it’ll matter the most.”

“No, it won’t because you won’t say it.”

San threw his head back in laughter as Eve continued to eat the biscuits. When his laughter died down, he smiled at her fondly.

“You know,” San started. “I was a bit worried that things wouldn’t be the same between us. Wouldn’t be… easy.” He tilted his head. “But now that we’re on our date, I know that those fears were useless. I mean, I’m still San and you're still Eve. And we’re still us. Does that make sense?”

Eve nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah, it does. I had the same worry but, as you said, we’re still us. Can’t believe it took us so long to get together, though.”

“That’s because somebody didn’t realise all the times I flirted with her,” San teased.

“So I’m a little oblivious. Sue me.” Eve shrugged. “I don’t pick up on the small details.”

“I was being super obvious, though,” San whined cutely. “I took you on a date!”

“With Ryujin and Wooyoung!” Eve rebutted. “I didn’t find anything romantic because they were there. I thought we were all just a bunch of pals.” She took a bite of her biscuit. “Besides, you invited Wooyoung. He’s your soulmate. I thought you two were celebrating something and just decided to invite us.”

“You’re really oblivious. So when I’d be very touchy with you, what did you think was going on?”

“I just thought you were in a touchy mood,” Eve explained. “Because I sometimes get moments when I have to touch someone — sometime it’s hugging them, sometimes it’s holding their hands — so I thought that was what was happening. Genuinely.”

San nodded, chuckling lightly. “Okay, but I only touched you,” he pointed out.

“I thought you were just comfortable with me.” Eve shrugged, finished her biscuit. “I wouldn’t go around hugging Yeosang, would I?” She asked, mentioning his member that she wasn’t exactly close to.

San bit his lip, smirking when Eve followed the action. “You have a point.” He picked up the lunch bag, taking out the sweet potatoes.

“Chaeryeong really love these,” Eve mentioned, pointing at the food San was peeling.

“I know,” he said, not looking up from his work. “I brought an extra so you could take it home for her.”

Eve felt a warmth unfurl in her chest at San’s thoughtfulness. “That’s sweet of you.”

He shook his head. “You’d have done the same.”

“Doesn’t mean it isn’t sweet,” she pointed out.

The two continued to talk and eat. They were having the most fun with each other as they joked and laughed. Having eaten all of the snacks and putting them back in the lunch bag, they began to just talk about anything and everything.

“But I kind of feel bad,” Eve said, “for keeping this from MIDZY’s.”

San nodded in agreement, sighing. “But we have to.”

“Yeah. I kind of like the secretiveness, though,” Eve revealed. “Is it super stressful? Totally. Do I feel guilty for lying to my fans? Hundred percent. But I like that it’s just us.” Eve linked their hands together on the centre console. “Nobody else but us.”

She looked up from their hands and made eye contact with him, holding his stare for a few seconds.

“You,” San started. “You can’t do that,” he complained and looked out the window before looking back at Eve, making her confused.

“Do what?”

“You can’t make me fall even more in love with you.”

Eve blushed and looked down in her lap with a smile on her face, “Shut up!”

“I’m serious,” he continued. “What if I have a heart attack because of how amazing you are?”

“That would be very unfortunate. And hard to explain to your CEO.”

San groaned. “Why did you bring up my CEO? He’s not who I want to think about on our first date.”

Eve raised her hands in mock surrender. “Sorry, sorry.” She looked at the lunch bag. “You didn’t eat the strawberries,” she pointed out, scratching her nose.

San also looked at the bag. “Oh, yeah. I kind of forgot about them.”

Eve reached for the bag, pulling out the container with strawberries. She took out one of the strawberries, holding it out to San. “Eat,” she softly said.

San leaned forward, taking a bite of the fruit. He groaned at the taste, briefly closing his eyes. “Tasty,” he told her, making a show of licking the sweetness off his lips. Eve’s breath hitched as she watched him, looking down to distract herself.

“Stop,” she whined, still looking at her lap.

“Stop what?” San asked, teasing her.

Eve looked up at him. “You know what you’re doing. What if I have a heart attack?” She echoed his earlier words.

San smiled at her. “I’d take you to the hospital.”

Eve rolled her eyes. “So impersonal.” She checked her phone to see the time. “Oh! We should be heading back now.”

San checked the time on his phone, his eyes growing wide in shock. “It’s been so long already? It feels like we just got here.”

Eve chuckled as they got to cleaning up the car, putting everything away and trying to pick up the crumbs. When they were done, Eve started the car. As she drove, they talked about dramas they had been watching.

“Well,” Eve started, tapping her foot on the floor of the car as they arrived at San’s apartment building. “I’d say that was a good date.”

San chuckled from beside her. “I’d have to agree.”

“This is me,” he said as she parked the car.

“This is you.” She rested one of her hands on the steering wheel, making eye contact with him. They stayed like that for a while before Eve cleared her throat.

“I guess I should go in.” He pointed behind him.

“I guess you should,” Eve smiled softly.

San looked as if he was going to turn to exit the car but instead stayed fixed in his position in his seat.

“I don’t want to, though.”

“I don’t want you to either,” she confessed. “So.” Eve played with her fingers. “What do we do? Do we go somepla–”

Her question was cut off by San, who had leaned towards her, grabbing her face in his hands and bringing his face so close to hers she swears she could count every one of his eyelashes.

“Can I kiss you?” San asked, voice deeper than she's ever heard before.

Eve gulped. “If I say no?”

“Then we can pretend this never happened.”

“And if I say yes?”

“I think you know. I mean you should know.”

Eve reached up with her left hand, wrapping it around San's wrist. She leaned her face closer until she was basically brushing his lips with hers.

“Yes,” she breathed out and San placed the most gentle and delicate kiss she had Ever experienced on her lips. His tongue soon teased against the seam of her lips and she opened them with a sigh. One of San's hands went to her waist, resting there.

“Wow,” Eve whispered after they pulled apart.

“Wow,” San echoed. Eve pulled away more, looking into his eyes with a shy smile on her face. “That was better than January 3rd,” San joked.

Eve rolled her eyes, thinking back to the day they almost kissed. “Technically, nothing happened January 3rd.”

“But something could’ve,” San pointed out, brushing his hand across Eve's cheek. Her eyes fluttered shut at the contact. When she opened them, she saw San looking at her with a heartwarming smile on his face.

“You ready to go inside now?” she asked.

San shook his head. "Not yet." He leaned forward, placing a kiss on her lips, letting himself linger. Eve felt his hand on her waist tighten when he pulled away. “Now I am.”

She pulled out of San's arms as he turned to open the door to the car.

“Goodnight San.”

“Goodnight Nabi.”

bonus:

Eve drove back to her dorm building, absentmindedly singing only to herself with a smile on her face. When she arrived at the building, she got out of her car, locking it as she walked to the elevator. Once inside, she did a little dance of excitement, clearing her throat and tucking her hair behind her ear when she finished.

She walked to her apartment unit after getting off the elevator. Eve bit her lip in an attempt to conceal her smile as she put in the code for the door, entering soon after.

As she took her shoes off, she heard Chaeryeong shout “She’s back!” followed by the sound of five pairs of feet going to meet her at the door. Her members poked their heads past the wall as if they were in a Disney movie.

“So,” Yeji started in a sing-song voice, “how was it?”

Eve did another little dance of excitement, jumping up and down. Her members’ faces broke into big smiles as they joined her in her happy celebration dance. Eve smiled harder as she thought about how her date ended, knowing the group wouldn’t go to sleep anytime soon.

Ateez 9th member

Idols they ship with Roux and why:

First of all, why they ship Roux with female idols and not male idols?

Fans notice visual similarities or chemistry between Roux and certain female idols, leading them to imagine them as a cute or attractive couple. However, they never really seen that much chemistry with male idols. She usually just have a nice brotherly friendship. Might be because she is in a boy group, might be for something else? Only time will tell.

Now to the idols:

Ryujin: Before debuting in ATEEZ, Roux crossed paths with Ryujin during her time as a JYP trainee. As aspiring idols under the same agency, they often found themselves training together, attending vocal, dance, and performance classes side by side.

Despite their busy schedules and the intense competition among trainees, they formed a strong bond built on mutual respect and admiration for each other's talents. They would often stay late at the practice rooms, helping each other perfect their choreography and vocal techniques. They got pretty close.

They interact on all events they get the chance. Fans love they chemistry. They are always doing challenges and TikTok’s together. Constantly flirting!! Be it on lives, on award shows, on interviews, definitely the strongest ship of them all.

Yves:

Yves and Roux in terms of their styles, personalities, or stage presence are quite similar. Both exude confidence, charisma, or a certain vibe that resonates with fans, leading them to imagine them as a compatible pair. They are also very fruity.

Even without having met in person, fans notice visual similarities or complementary features between Yves and Roux, sparking their imagination and leading them to ship the pair together based on their appearance alone. Roux also said that she thought Yves was a very attractive woman.

Yunjin:

Mainly for their funny and loud presence! They also share a very similar stage presence: as they both are known for their powerful stage presence and charismatic performances. Fans appreciate their dynamic energy and imagine them complementing each other well on stage.

Their personalities also match: Roux's fierce and charismatic personality could align with Yunjin's strong and assertive nature. Fans see them as a confident and commanding duo, capable of taking charge and leaving a lasting impression.

They met at MAMA 2022 and since then they interact with each other on SNS.

Giselle:

They met because Roux said she would love to get to Giselle on a live. They both share that international flare and have very similar tastes. From their style to musical taste. Fans also caught Roux saying “she’s so hot” when during an AESPA performance the camera was fixed on Giselle. They are constantly sharing very close to each other photos.

The following list contains all 49 requests. Each request has it's own number.

1.

A continuation of last year. You, Irene and the new coworker Seulgi work for a media company, who produces music videos for entertainment companies. Around this time of the year, two female soloists are about to have their comebacks. Im Yoona and Karina. They both have similar music, similar concepts and the same target audience, which makes them natural rivals. A good music video always has a big impact of a song's popularity and success. Which of the two can convince your team to invest more time and attention into her music video?

2:

IU mentioned how she wants to be the center of attention, how she sometimes wishes she was in a girl group, so she could fool around with her members and have their hands all over her.

A continuation of IU's journey from the "Take what you can" storyline.

You decide to invite her to your place, without her knowing that you invited all five members of Itzy. The six of you make IU's wildest fantasies come true.

3:

Being a demon has its up and downs. But there is one thing you will never get tired off. People who summon you. Either for fun, or because they are convinced that there aren't any supernatural beings. Or, In this case, three gorgous women, who want to experience more than just meaningless sex with strangers. Joy, Seulgi and Yeri have only one thing in mind, while they summon you.

4:

You know that Seulgi loves to tease you. Especially during concerts, acting slutty and wearing revealing clothes, so the audience can appreciate her tight body.

You eventually decide to not put up with this any longer. You need to punish her. Seulgi sometimes mentions how much she would love to get fucked by a couple of men. So you invite two of your friends. The three of you make Seulgi forget all about her fans, making sure she only thinks about you at the end of the night.

5:

When Minnie walks in on one of Miyeon's sexual encounters, she feels the need to challenge her. Minnie sometimes feels like she is standing in Miyeon's shadow during performances or photoshoots. So she decides that this is her time to shine. And why not get a little something out of it for herself as well?

The two of them invite their respective sponsors for a little meeting, which is nothing else but a competitive gangbang. Whoever wins gets to do what ever they want with each other. No limits.

6:

Ryujin and Yujin have one thing in common apart from the fact that they're pretty. Both girls are in love with you. And the best way for the two of them to show this to you is sex. The two of them always fight for your attention. But when Yujin decides to go shopping for some additional toys and equipment online, it all blows up in one huge competition. Will you be able to handle both of them for hours without a break? Who will win the title of being your favorite pet?

7:

After endless promotions and a overly filled schedule, Jisun can finally take some time off at the end of the year. She knows her boyfriend missed being with her as much as she missed being with him. So when the two of you go on vacation together, she hands you a free use coupon. 24 hours of whatever you want to do with her. Nothing off limits. Anywhere. Anytime.

8:

It seemed like a good idea to Nayeon, when she signed up for this in July. A voluntary event from her company, where they hand out flyers and collect donations. And it also seemed fun to wear this big snowman costume.

But as it turns out, it's boring, cold and hard. And Nayeon can't even spend a lot if time with you during this beautiful time. So you decide on visiting her at the company. The dressing room becomes the first crime scene of a long day filled with pleasure.

9:

Mina and you have been friends for a long time. And the two of you have always been competitive. Especially when it comes to games. That's why it's no surprise when the two of you go way too far while playing truth or dare. Who will eventually win the game? And what are the consequences that follow?

10:

Today is the day of yours and Yoona's one year anniversary of your relationship. Of course you have to celebrate. And Yoona wants to reward you for being the best boyfriend she's ever been with. So she decides on something special. Something the two of you haven't tried before. Something that she herself has never tried before. Yoona, knowing how big you are, needs to prepare herself for a couple of days beforehand, to make sure that everything goes as planned. Because you will finish this meaningful day by giving Yoona's ass a creampie.

11:

Another continuation. You and Yoona are already in an established relationship, which turns more and more into lovers and less sugar mommy and sugar baby. Her friend and bandmate Tiffany can't visit her family in the states during the holidays, due to her busy schedule. She knows all about Yoona's new boy toy and due to her own stress and ever growing responsibilities, she asks Yoona to share you, while she stays over.

12:

Due to your father's job, your family has to move to another city. Just like before, you become the high school's quarterback. Which definitely has its good side. But also bad ones. Eventually, you get noticed by a group of popular girls, who call themselves Viviz.

13:

On your way to Paris, your plane crashes and you end up on an island. When you wake up, you realize you've been captured by a group of women, who seem to have some disgusting human sacrifice in mind. You try to talk your way out of the situation. Turns out, this was only a scam to make you do whatever they want.

14:

Another continuation for IU. One night, IU asks you to help her out. Of course you want to help her, thinking it's just sex like usual. But she asks you to do something different.

. * . * .* . loading . * . * . * .

The grotto is quiet around this time of night. Boats don’t usually pass through their portion of the water often but occasionally the odd navy ship would; Changbin only recognized the difference by the obnoxious bright colours they use. He only knew of the navy at all because he’d overheard some talk of them when he was close enough to the humans when they passed through, some sort of authority team of whatever human governed the local land. None of this affected his little pod, so far removed from the population in their grotto.

Their little pod only consisted of him and his little sister. Years and different factors had them losing their parents and extended family at a young age; Changbin having to step up for Chaeryeong and shoulder the responsibility for their safety, meals, and teaching her their history and ways of life.

It was hard, knowing what to tell her and what to show her. None of the old pod families were still around to provide him guidance in rearing her, he had to use his best judgement. Changbin was only just older than a guppy when his parents decided to stay in the grotto while the rest of the pod moved on to other waters after the human raids. He missed his old friends and he knew Chaeryeong did too, only just a little guppy back then too. Changbin was naive back then, exploring the land and even having a human guppy friend- boy his mind supplied after the fact.

That all changed when the humans came back a second time on their quest for scales and gems. Chaeryeong had seen nothing past his fingers covering his eyes and mouth, keeping her quiet as he watched it all happening, helpless. It’s exactly what their parents had instructed him to do in this kind of emergency situation- he still felt like a coward.

“Binnie?” The familiar tone of clicking knocked Changbin out of his thoughts. He turned away from where he was staring up at the surface, light filtering through in wavering lines broken by cutting waves.

Chaeryeong had yet another string of shells around her neck. It was definitely newly made as it was a colour combination he hadn’t seen before. It hurt a little to see how her talents reflected their father so closely. Their mother had received strand after strand of carefully crafted necklaces from him that she rotated to decorate herself and mark herself mated. Not that it was ever in question; their pod was a humble size and everyone was close enough that it was common knowledge. Every day Changbin saw more of their parents in her, it was enough that he never feared forgetting their faces or memories.

“Where have you been little fry?” By the moon, he should have known not to ask. He groans loudly when he sees her face twist with guilt. “Nevermind.”

The older merman shakes his head and reaches around for the pouch floating out behind him.

“Want a new addition?” He presents the algae washed shell in one hand. It was a habit to store away pretty little things he found, fond as ever of the way his sister’s face brightened with each present. Her face lights up now, routine, saying nothing and attaching the new shell to the netted sash around her waist. He’s prepared for the resulting hug but not for the hushed thank you she whispers into his shoulder.

“You know I just want to keep you safe right?” It was a tough job as an older sibling and a stand-in for two parents and a community but if he had to serve tough love, he would.

Chaeryeong nodded, chin digging into him which he suspected as intentional. “I know, but you also need to let me learn. I’m not a little guppy that doesn’t know up from down anymore.” He knew she wasn’t. It was a truth he had difficulty coming to terms with. Wanting to protect her didn’t have an expiry date, he’d forever want to keep her happy and safe from any danger. The most pressing danger being the humans that she seemed infatuated with.

Wanting to lighten the mood despite his worries, Changbin pulls at her ear resulting in a squeak rivalling their dolphin friends. He laughs because it’s his job to tease her. “I saw you swim and almost get stuck in the reef just last week.” Her resulting giggling shows she’s over the squabble.

“Well, I’m a week older now, so!”

--

“Chae? I got us some flatfish, your favourite!” A week later and in the darkening waters, Changbin’s call was met with silence. Maybe at any other time he could expect some delay from the mermaid but, like every other afternoon, Chaeryeong should’ve been just a swim away; taking time to sunbathe on her favourite flattened stonebed. She always raved about how it caught just the right amount of sunbeams through the cuts of the waves above, lulling her into a perfect nap. “Chae?”

The fish Changbin caught couldn’t go much longer without eating. He frowned and moved to stash them in one of the baskets they’d found in a shipwreck a few months ago. His stomach protested waiting longer but his priority was the suspicious feeling he had in the pit of his gut. He attached his small serrated knives to each side of his netted sash.

It wasn’t too far to the surface. Changbin took care to swim at an angle, not wanting to risk popping straight up from their home and exposing it. He had made the trip many times, especially years back, so when his head popped above the surface, he recognized his surroundings. He didn’t see his sister lounging anywhere at first. It took him two laps around the little extended piece of island before he moved on to the main land. She wasn’t there either.

He was at a loss of where else to look. It wasn’t like her to not be home at this time, especially without telling him she would be exploring further out past their waters. She had to be Above. He was almost ready to give up and go back under to travel west when a glimmer caught his eye from behind the cliff.

“No..” He breathed out.

Chaeryeong’s sash was crumpled over the spiking rocks. It was an immediate sign of trouble. Their sashes belonged to their parents, mended over time due to errant coral or a feisty fish. In no logical situation would she have left it behind willingly- Changbin knew even when she snuck on land and took her legs, she either kept it on or tucked it in her shoulder bag. This was bad. This was so so bad.

Taking his legs to search on land would set him back further than he already must have been, having to find human clothes and the sorts so he wouldn’t get arrested at first glance would cut into precious time. He carefully took the sash and wrapped it around his waist, layering it over his own for safe keeping.

Changbin jetted off, wasting no time in coasting the edge of the land. His core and tail was strong enough to keep his upper half afloat, eyes searching and searching for some sort of familiarity. He prayed to the Moon Maker that his sister had just not noticed the sash missing despite how he knew in his heart it was too unlikely.

He swam for close to an hour, only stopping when he was too close to the city to continue above the surface. Hope was dwindling quickly; soon he would have to make the decision if he would continue fully Above or not.

It was a close call, with his distracted line of thinking, that he almost didn’t see the familiar brown panelling of a sailing ship. It came from the right corner of vision. Unlike usual ships he would avoid at all costs, this one had a marker flag masted at its forefront.

Pirates.

At any other ship, Changbin would have dipped quickly under the surface to disguise himself. Pirates were the only humans deserving of his kind’s respect, or indifference. He didn’t know all the intricacies of their faith but through experience he knew they looked to the Moon Maker and her glory in some similar form and wouldn’t mess with her children.

Gathering his courage, Changbin swam closer to where the boat was cutting the water. He surveyed no movement aboard from his position- head only exposed to his nose. It would always be a bit of a risk catching the attention of a ship like this; there was a chance it could be a decoy or a rogue immoral crew that was out specifically in search for mer.

His patience rewarded him in the form of a man coming to the edge of the stern, lips pursed and eyes in search of something. Changbin squinted to get a better look at the man, looking to see if he adorned typical piratewear. His brown hair was slightly waved, parting in the middle underneath a black hat. When he swam closer to call out, surprise almost had him sinking back under the water. This pirate had a familiar face. The scar to the left of his cheek only cementing the connection.

“Minho?” At the call of his name, the man turned directly to him- surprise reflecting back in his eyes.

__________________________________________________________

In the bustling city of Seoul, a unique love story unfolded between Y/N, the adorable and playful youngest member of TWICE, and Yeji, the charismatic and talented member of ITZY. Their relationship was a delightful mix of fun and affection, which brought joy not only to themselves but also to those around them. One sunny afternoon, as the maknae and Yeji were strolling hand in hand through a lively park, they bumped into the members of TWICE and ITZY. Y/N's eyes lit up with excitement, and she rushed over to greet her friends, who were more like family.

Y/N - Momo unnie, Sana unnie, Mina unnie! I've missed you all so much!

Momo - Honey, you're always like a little sister to us. It's good to see you!

Sana - Yeah, and you're dating our Yeji now, right? That's so cute!

Y/N - Yes, we are. She's the best! *blushing*

Mina - Well, we can see that you two get along well. But you know, sometimes you need to add a little more spice to your playfulness. Let us show you how!

The J-line members shared some tips on how to be even more playful and mischievous, creating fun and unforgettable moments for both their kiddo and Yeji.

Meanwhile, the maknae line of TWICE, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu, were observing from a distance. They adored the younger girl for her childlike innocence and knew just the right way to make her happy.

Chaeyoung - Dahyun, look at them. Our sunshine seems so carefree with Yeji.

Dahyun - We should help Yeji know how to bring out the brightest smiles from our bro. She deserves all the happiness in the world.

Tzuyu - I'll help too. Y/N is like our little sister, and Yeji is so special to her. We should support them both.

The maknae line came together and shared their secrets with Yeji on how to make their dongsang feel loved, cherished, and delighted. They knew that their heartfelt advice would strengthen the bond between the couple.

Later that day, the couple found themselves in the company of Jihyo, Nayeon, and Jeongyeon. These three members, affectionately known as the 3mix or moms of the group, they were likewise guardians to the younger members.

Nayeon - Baby, Yeji, we're glad to see you two together. It's wonderful that you have each other's backs.

Jihyo - That's right. Angel, you're like our baby sister, and we want to make sure Yeji takes good care of you.

Jeongyeon - And sometimes, our baby sister has trouble falling asleep. Isn't that right?

Y/N - Yeah, sometimes my mind is too active, and I can't sleep. *rubbing her neck*

Yeji - Is there anything I can do to help?

The 3mix members chuckled, exchanging knowing glances.

Nayeon - We've dealt with this before. We'll share some tips on how to lull our child to sleep.

As the sun began to set, TWICE and ITZY spent the rest of the day together, sharing laughter and creating unforgettable memories. Yeji, armed with advice from the J-line, maknae line, and 3mix, effortlessly played with Y/N, made her happy, and even managed to lull her to sleep later that night when her mind was buzzing with excitement.

As weeks turned into months, their relationship grew stronger, and their love blossomed like a beautiful flower. TWICE and ITZY members often came together to spend time as one big family, knowing that they were always welcome in each other's arms. In time, Y/N's playful spirit rubbed off on Yeji, and she, too, began to let her guard down and embrace the fun-loving side of life. Their love was built on understanding, respect, and the freedom to be themselves entirely.

The playful heart of the maknae and the tender care of Yeji proved to be a perfect match. Their journey together was filled with joy, laughter, and love, and it inspired everyone around them to cherish the beautiful moments life had to offer. And so, the playful hearts of TWICE and ITZY continued to dance and sing, brightening the lives of those they touched with their love and laughter. They were proof that sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of playfulness and affection to make the world a happier and more loving place. With this, both groups looked at each other as they thought:

We are proud of our dear family.
