You sat in your home music studio playing random chords trying to find inspiration for the next track for Ateez’ album. After what felt like years of not working with the boys, you were finally helping them work on their first full album which had to be completed in just a few short months.

After playing the same chords for a while, you sighed and turned off your computer and moved to sit in your living room.

Your phone buzzed in your pocket the second you sat down on the couch and you quickly answered it without reading the contact name.

“Hello?” you asked.

“Maknae, are you doing anything right now?” Hongjoong asked.

“No, why?” you asked.

“Well...Yunho’s sick and he’s alone at the house with Seonghwa but Seonghwa can’t really help him because of his foot so...” Hongjoong trailed off.

“So...” you urged him to continue.

“I was hoping that you’d be able to put your mom’s nursing knowledge to use and take care of him for the next few hours.”

“What’s in it for me?” you joked.

“You get to do something for your favorite leader.” you could hear the smile in Hongjoong’s voice.

“Do you know if he likes chicken noodle soup? My mom has been sending me a lot of canned soups lately.”

“He might like it. Bring some over just in case.”

“Alright. Send me your dorm’s address after we hang up, okay?” you asked Hongjoong.

“Alright. I’ll bring you some takeout when we get home. Do you want the usual?”

“Yeah. I’ll see you later.”

“Thanks, Maknae.”

“No problem, Leader.”

----------

You entered the password to the Ateez dorm and walked into the apartment hesitantly after taking your shoes off at the door.

“Is anyone still awake?” you half-yelled into the dorm.

You heard two yeses from the back and walked further into the apartment where the rooms are.

“Yunho, where are you at?” you asked.

“In here.” he groaned from behind the door you were in front of.

“Are you dressed?”

“I’m too weak and sweaty to put a shirt on.” Yunho responded. You sighed.

“I’m gonna come in, alright?”

“Alright.”

You opened the door and saw a sweaty, red-faced Yunho under tucked under his duvet.

“Aw Yunho.” you frowned at him. He gave you a tired smile.

“How long have you been like this?” you asked as you pushed some of his hair away from his forehead.

“Since last night.” he responded.

“And no one thought to call or text me?” you shook your head. “Don’t worry your pretty little head, Yunho. I’ll do my best to make sure you feel better.”

He nodded and closed his eyes.

“Okay maknae.”

----------

The two of you found yourselves on the couch of the Ateez dorm after eating a few bowls of chicken noodle soup. Yunho’s head rested in your lap and you absentmindedly ran your fingers through his faded blue hair as you watched a drama rerun on the television.

“Maknae?” Yunho asked as he turned to look up at you.

“Hmm?” you responded as you watched the fruit commercial.

“How do you like being in Korea?”

You took a breath as you tried to come up with an answer.

“It’s not as scary as I was afraid it was going to be.” you answered. “I’ve found that the longer I stay here, the easier it is to adjust to the culture.”

He hummed in response.

“Did you miss us while we were gone?” he asked.

You lightly tugged at his hair. “Of course I did. I wish I could have gone to New York and Sydney with you guys.”

“We should all go next year.” he suggested.

“I agree.”

The two of you sat in comfortable silence for a while as you watched the drama.

“What did you do while we were gone?” Yunho asked after a while.

“A few days after my sister left, I went to a debut showcase.”

“Ooh~ How were you able to go?” Yunho turned towards you again.

“Let’s just say that I’m especially close with one of the members.” you smiled to yourself.

“Who is it? Do I know them?” Yunho perked up.

“You might know of them. Don’t worry about it though.” you dismissed him.

“Honestly, I didn’t think that you would have friends outside of us.” Yunho joked.

“Yunho, that’s mean.” you whined as you playfully poked at his temple.

“Yunho, leave Maknae alone!” Seonghwa yelled from his room.

“Stop poking my head.” Yunho said as he swatted at your hand. “Seonghwa, did you hear how she spoke down to me?” 

“You deserved it.” Seonghwa responded. “And stop yelling, you’ll make your head hurt more.”

“Did you hear Seonghwa, Yunho?” you laughed.

“I would go back to my room so that I could avoid this abuse but your lap is too comfortable.” Yunho sighed.

“Sounds like an excuse to me.” you said in a sing-song tone.

“SoUnDs LiKe An ExCuSe To Me.” Yunho mocked you.

-----------

“Maknae, you’re relieved of your duties!” Hongjoong yelled as soon as he and the other six Ateez members entered their dorm. He was quiet for a moment as he waited for your response. He quickly took off his shoes and attempted to look for you.

“Maknae, we brought foo-”

“Shh. They’re asleep in the living room.” Seonghwa stuck his head out from the kitchen.

“They?” Hongjoong asked. Seonghwa nodded before eating another spoonful of soup. “Yunho and (Y/N).”

Hongjoong’s eyebrows furrowed. “Where’d you get soup from?”

“Maknae brought some soup. There’s still some left if you want.” Seonghwa nodded over to the large pot sitting on the stove.

“Ooh~ look at these two.” Wooyoung and San laughed quietly as they stood next to the couch.

“They look pretty cozy.” Yeosang added as he walked through the living room to get to his room. Hongjoong walked into the living room to see what all of the commotion was.

You were laying on your back on the couch with Yunho on top of you, his head nested in the space between your shoulder and neck and his arm haphazardly thrown around your waist, a fleece blanket covering the both of you.

“Seonghwa, did you add the blanket?” San asked. 

Seonghwa limped into the living room, bowl-in-hand, and shrugged. “They looked cold.”

“Seonghwa, what if one of the managers came in here and saw them like this?” Hongjoong complained.

“We get yelled at for a little bit. So what?” Seonghwa shrugged.

“So what? We could lose one or both of them and we can’t afford to lose either of them, especially right now.” Hongjoong’s voice gained volume. “Why am I the only one who cares about this?”

“Hongjoong, calm down. Nothing would have happened.” Yunho mumbled. You woke up from the noise.

“What’s wrong?” you rubbed at your eyes sleepily.

“N-n-nothing’s wrong.” Hongjoong stuttered. You looked at him suspiciously.

“Wooyoung, what’s wrong?” you turned to the boy.

Wooyoung looked at Hongjoong’s desperate facial expression and bit back a smile. “Nothing’s wrong.”

“Sure.” you responded, unsatisfied with the responses you were receiving. You looked down at Yunho and playfully pushed at him. “Get off, you’re heavy.”

“You’ve been mean to me all day.” Yunho groaned as he tightened his hold around your waist.

Seonghwa looked over at Hongjoong’s growing frown and decided to intervene. “Yunho let Maknae go so she can eat.” Seonghwa said in a stern voice.

“Fine.” Yunho said before releasing you.

“Let’s eat!” San cheered. Everyone else cheered in agreement.

“Hongjoong, I’m so glad you bought food.” you smiled at the boy. He smiled brightly at the comment. San snorted at the interaction.

“Hongjoong, let’s talk in the kitchen.” Seonghwa grabbed the man’s wrist before dragging him in the kitchen.

“You need to learn how to handle your emotions better. Everyone can see that you’re jealous.” Seonghwa poked at his friend’s shoulder.

“I’m not jealous, Seonghwa.” Hongjoong swatted his hand away.

“Yes, you are,” San laughed as he walked past the pair to get plates and bowls.

“Fine then, here’s a test to see if you’re really not jealous. Maknae is really close to a member of CIX.” Seonghwa stated.

“Ooh~ does Maknae have a boyfriend?” San provoked Hongjoong.

“I don’t know, but she went to their debut showcase. She was probably around even more boys.” Seonghwa added.

“How does that make you feel, Ho-”

“Stop saying I have a boyfriend,” you said as you entered the kitchen. “San, you’re taking too long and everyone else is hungry.”

“See, she said it herself, she doesn’t have a boyfriend.” Hongjoong said while giving the other two less than attractive facial expressions.

“It’s nice to know that you care about my dating life, Joongie. You’re a good friend.” you patted the man’s cheek as you exited the kitchen.

San gave Hongjoong a pained expression as he passed him. “That’s gotta hurt.”

“Just a reminder, Hongjoong.” Seonghwa gained his friend’s attention. “Neither you or Yunho are able to date her because of the fourth clause in our contract. Remember? ‘No romantic or sexual relationships between two or more parties within KQ Entertainment, regardless of job position or status.’ Alright? So no more of this jealousy and assertion of dominance bullshit because we can’t afford to lose anyone from this team or from the producing team.”

Hongjoong nodded.

15 questions, 15 mutuals - tagged by @humanitys-shortest-soldier ♡♡

1. Are you named after anyone?

I'm named after Nicole Kidman, because my parents couldn't agree on a name and finally decided they both liked the actress. My sister's name also starts with N so they thought it was charming that we both have the same initials. 

2. When was the last time you cried?

Probably the past couple of days but probably from laughing not sadness. I've been watching a lot of Call Me Kevin and UpIsNotJump on yt at like 4am, and everything's utterly hilarious at that time of day, more than usual.

3. Do you have kids?

No and I never will :) My sister has said that I am "not allowed" to babysit her future children. Bold of her to assume I want to go near them in the first place.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yes but it's fairly subtle. More what I would call saltiness than sarcasm perhaps. I've been watching Gopher for too long.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Usually what's the most visually striking thing about them. I'm gonna be a douchebag and say most people are plain and I in fact barely notice them at all, even if I'm talking to them directly, so unless someone particularly stands out visually, they're background noise that I don't register. I generally don't talk to new people anyway. I lead a sheltered social life.

6. What’s your eye color?

Brown usually. They can appear a muddy looking green colour in sunlight.

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

I would usually say happy ending but I've recently been more interested in horror genre media. Only took me 22 years to stop being a wimp 👍

8. Any special talents?

Being annoying and useless? I can sew pretty well. I can sew by machine or by hand. Sewing by hand is really relaxing actually. It's like knitting. Except not.

9. Where were you born?

The Manley area of Sydney's northern beaches. No wonder I'm such a hippie. My sister and I used to have Manley beach t-shirts when we were kids. It was kinda weird.

10. What are your hobbies?

Lately it's trying to decide what video game to play and spending so long being indecisive that I don't play any and end up watching YouTube all day and then going to bed feeling unproductive and unsatisfied with my life 👍

11. Do you have any pets?

I have custody of two psycho cats, though my sister also has a very old cat who lives here. Mr Old Man Whikky (Whiskers) as we call him is a scruffy 16 year old immortal tabby. I swear he's gonna outlive all of us. Then my cats are Kooty (Little Koot - think little cat) who was a stray turned up on our doorstep with a broken tail at 4am on a school night. She's about 12 now. And finally the new addition, 2 year old Lola, a stray kitten from out in the countryside where my dad lives. Took her on a nice 6 hour car ride home to my city when she was about 2 months old, and she had diarrhoea because we weren't aware she didn't handle wet food or milk well yet. That was a fun time...

I used to have a little dog, a Chihuahua and Maltese mix named Sammy, but he passed in 2015. He and Whikky were raised together since birth and were best friends (and also in somewhat of a gay interspecies relationship), and since he died Whikky has been a bit funny. He's rlly taken to Lola since her arrival and he's sort of adopted her. I credit him for her learning how to be a cat. When she first got here she couldn't even clean herself. She still doesn't know how to use a litter box, but Whikky has taught her pretty well.

12. What sports do you play/have you played?

I played tennis and netball as a youngen. I was actually rlly good at tennis too, but I’ve had too many broken wrists and ankles, so Wii Sports for me it is now. I'm better at virtual tennis anyway...

13. How tall are you?

157cm. My family are freakish giants and I was malnourished as a kid so I don’t even reach the chests of a lot of my cousins. 

14. Favorite subject in school?

History. In year 7 I photocopied my history textbook because we wouldn't be studying every topic in it and I wanted to read the rest later.

15. Dream job?

When I was a kid I wanted to be a psychologist. how tragic my life has been that at 8 I wanted to help other people to not feel like I did all the time. 👍👍👍

This was very awkward to type because I'm doing this on mobile and the Tumblr app is infamously shite and does not function
