Secrets - Melted

Secrets | Snowball | Avalanche

Unbeknownst to you, the fans have uploaded your shopping interaction with YunHo online. Now up on every kpop gossip forums, are the scandalous articles of you two-timing the TVXQ! duo.  You were happily chatting with YunHo on your way up to your apartment, and when you reached your doorstep, it coloured your vision to see ChangMin's shoes at the door. He's back!

You passed the shoe rack, picking up the broken phone and showed it to YunHo who was astonished at the functioning broken phone.

you placed the shopping bags on the kitchen island, and saw the packed food from your favourite food tent. being more happy, you looked around for ChangMin in the house. 

You found ChangMin in the bedroom, zipping a travel bag.

" Are we going on a holiday? "You hugged him from behind, telling him that you're surprised that he's planned a trip, only to find him not responsive to your aegyo.

As YunHo was unloading stuff into the fridge, it caught ChangMin's attention that someone else was in the house. He snapped out of his anger and turned around, and you see him with tears forming in his eyes.

" You brought him here? " ChangMin stared right into your soul. Taken aback, especially after noticing the dried tear marks on his face.

"Oh, we went shopping, ChangMin ah, why are you .. were you crying?" You tried to reach for his cheeks but he slapped your hand away harshly.

"Stop touching me. Go to your Jung YunHo" ChangMin hissed, looking around for something.

"What.. What do you mean?" Following him around like a puppy, still not grasping the situation.

"I told you before. The one thing I can never stand, is cheating." He accused through pursed lips. "You can stay here, I'll move out for the time being. I need some head space to think about us."

"Cheating? what are you talking about?" You pulled him closer but he resisted.

"Don't touch me." He gritted out the words. resisting your advances. The two of you struggled, pushing against each other until your balance broke. You stumbled, landing on his chest as he instinctively held you close, taking the brunt of the fall.

YunHo came right in after hearing that, only to find you guys hugging on the floor.

"Hyung's here. Can't you keep it in your pants till after I leave?" YunHo teased as he moved to pick you guys off the floor.

"Don’t touch me." ChangMin told him, looking angrier by the minute. He sat in a defensive pose, one knee folded up and the other stretched up on the floor creating a distance with his long leg, preventing YunHo from getting any closer.

"Minnie ah, what's wrong? Why are you like this?" YunHo kneeled in front of ChangMin as the younger one refused to stand with his help.  "Go away.. I will kick you." The evil maknae ego surfaced during the tension. 

Shocked to see ChangMin like this, you spotted his phone on at the leg of the bed, severely cracked, with an article was still on the screen. "Cheating girlfriend of ChoiChang ChangMin out for TVXQ!'s weKnow who! The article, full of pictures of you and YunHo shopping for a new phone and in the supermarket, laughing and joking around, they even followed you guys to your shared apartment with ChangMin.  

Several unpleasant emotions broiled within you, twisting your heart at the thought that ChangMin believed all of these. "Y/N ah, why are you crying? Are you hurt?" YunHo was shocked at your reaction. Just one moment ago, You were on the floor on ChangMin's chest, another moment you are sitting on the bed, then the next you're crying on a cracked phone. Avoiding eye contact, you handed YunHo ChangMin's phone.

He scrolled carefully, as to not get cuts from the cracks and scoffed. Turning his attention to the one sitting on the floor now, YunHo inquired in a calm and cold voice.

"Does hyung look like this kind of person? Someone who will steal my brother's girlfriend?" YunHo slapped ChangMin in the head, disappointed with him. "This is what you think of me?"

Glaring at YunHo with those killer doe eyes now, " Do you think that I wanted to believe those to be true? " ChangMin retorted.

Pulling out your broken phone from his back pocket, YunHo showed him the DMs and threats sent to you daily by his "fans". "Take a look". YunHo insisted, though you opposed. "It's alright. He has to know. "

"What is this?" ChangMin took the phone that was in a worse state than his, and read every one of the messages.

YunHo sat beside you, at the end of the bed. Acting like your big brother, as usual, tries to clean up your tear stained face.  

His shoulder slumped and his grip on the phone loosened slightly, as though the weight of what he was reading had sapped the energy from his muscles.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" ChangMin looked up at you. Sighing in disbelief. "Was this what you were talking about with hyung just now?"

"Yes, I didn't know how to tell you about this. I don't even know where to start!" You shouted in anger and broke down, crying into YunHo's embrace.

"Look at what you've done." YunHo reprimanded, shaking the empty tissue box in ChangMin's face. "Go get some more." YunHo demanded.

ChangMin sat up on the bed, right beside you and took you back from YunHo's comforting arms. "I'm sorry." ChangMin apologised with kisses and it made you cry harder.

Getting the cue, YunHo stood up, preparing to leave the room.

"Alright kids, good to see you make up but hyung's hungry. Unless you want me cooking." YunHo joked as he tapped his fingers on your shoulders playfully like he's playing the piano.

Laughter continued to flood the house like before, as you prepare dinner with a live dance battle going on the living room. " Is this what they call dinner with a show? " You thought to yourself, laughing out loud at the duo. YunHo was so brutal he left no crumbs.

Dinner was fun again, uplifted and relaxing. ChangMin did seem distracted for awhile as his phone kept ringing. You saw that it was from ChaeRin. "Argh, that woman. " You feel your heart racing from the intense boiling of your blood.  You couldn't see most of the text, but on the notification bar, you could still read out " Sunbaenim are you reaching soon? I'm ready and waiting for you! " " This little bitch… " Your face started showing those subtitles though you said nothing in reality.

Sensing that you've noticed, ChangMin got behind you, his arm encircling you as he held out his still broken phone in front, where you both could see the screen clearly.  " Sorry, I've send the message to the wrong person. Have a good night! " You saw him sent it out. Your petty boy laughed right in your face, chucking his phone away and picking your new one up. " I'll use this one, and get you another one." ChangMin promised. "That ought to keep the paparazzi at bay."  author's note: sorry i've been away for so long, I'll catch up on the request in my inbox! (*´∀`*) thanks for all the love, my online friends ٩(＾◡＾)۶

[what-if-nct]

hiiii today's reminder is happy Kun day!!! my husband the loml my absolute favourite boy. I'm so surprised (and very touched!!) you remembered my birthday but also you're right because I've spent a fair amount of my time daydreaming about Kun and i watching new years/fourth of july fireworks together and just being disgustingly in love and also his birthday is the start of the year and mine is almost exactly the midpoint, so we'd also use it to be all sentimental and… ok there's a slight chance I've been using these romantic fantasies as a coping mechanism for things i should properly deal with but whatever. my dream Kun can never let me down.

alsoooo i watched the sm concert in bits and pieces half asleep because it started at 9 am here but a few things about that: one, wtf is Sungtaro's role at SM, are they tour guides at this point? i feel like they do everything but actual idol stuff now. two, they really performed take off for the first time in about three centuries, i almost screamed when i saw that (hyperbole, i was curled up in bed with the volume just high enough for me to hear it but i did audibly gasp). three, i was expecting a shinee's back 2023 thing like they did for don't call me considering it's their 15th anniversary next year but superm??? they're still a thing?? also i saw someone say that they added tvxq's colour to the logo thingy so changmin might be joining which??? i will Cry can you imagine the power but also the awkwardness bc I'm pretty sure he can't tell most of the nct boys apart. also reminded me that you said that's what you wanted superm to be, more of a rotational lineup. four, I'm pretty sure i have a massive crush on Boa after that

also happy new year one last time before i have to go back to the real world tomorrow morning :(

Hiii! Happy Kun day! It's your husband and wayvs father of 5, Ten isn't his child and Kun will never claim him birthday . I hope his 27th birthday was wonderful he looks so happy to be back out on that stage. And of course I remembered I remember all of the important birthdays. Do not ask me from memory to list all of NCTs birthdays there's like 50 of them. And that's literally the cutest relationship like you kiss on midnight and right as you pull away you say happy birthday and he kisses you again. And on your birthday it's a warm July night and he flies you off to Disney World and as the fireworks sparkle in the sky he pulls you close and says "it's all for you, happy birthday" and he kisses the top of your head. Like stop you two would be so cute.

And romantic fantasies are sometimes the only thing that can make you feel better. In my world. I ran into Chan, Felix and Hyunjin in the mall and they're lost and they come up to me and ask for help. I ask about the Aussies accent knowing full well but you can't let them know that you know cause you'll be fanzoned immediately. And as we're talking Hyunjin is just silently staring at me and when they walk away Hyunjin gives a small wave and we bump into each other later and instead of saying sorry he says "you're pretty" and asks if I want to have coffee with him and its quiet but we talk with glances and smiles and "accidental' grazes of fingertips. If you don't have your delusions and fantasies your just rawdogging life and that is not the way to live.

I've only seen clips here and there and to watch them perform Baby Don't Stop and 7th sense live in 2023 is honestly the only way to start the year. And they gifted us Hendery nipple. I have to watch all the other performances. I stayed up texting my crush he just got back to town anyway I fell asleep at some point. And I can just see Changbin asking Kai which one was just talking to him. And yes maybe we get Johnny? Chanyeol? Together? Please. Happy New Year again 💕 I hope you're new years was wonderful and I hope regular life is nice to you and takes care of you till Kun can come to take care of you. I leave you with a picture of Felix holding a hamster.

It's Felix's turn to babysit Jisung. Our Jisung ,not their Jisung. The almond on the hamster belly and Felix's itty bitty hands. Thats a dwarf hamster look how perfect it fits in Felix's baby hands. A Syrian would be so big in his hands.

Summary:

H.O.T are so close to becoming an active group again, but not everyone is keen with them doing it on their own terms.

Chapter 6 - Warrior's Descendants:

   Leeteuk led BoA and Yunho down to his car in the parking garage below SM. He unlocked the doors, and the idols quickly dived into the car. They all collapsed in their seats, exhausted from running.

   "What...was...that...about?" Yunho panted.

   "I don't know, but it's clear that we're in trouble." BoA shook her head in confusion and pulled out her phone. "Also, did anyone see where Baekhyun, Taeyeon, and Onew went?"

   "No, they were the first ones out," Leeteuk muttered, also pulling out his phone. "I'm going to text them and ask if they're okay."

   Yunho just stared out into space. "We didn't imagine it, right? Like, is the whole SM being sold to some guy who is behind H.O.T's disappearance is something that actually happened?"

   "Yup, and so were the gunshots," Leeteuk replied. "Also Yunho, do you know you're live on Instagram right now?"

   TVXQ's leader looked at Super Junior's leader in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

   "I got a notification from Donghae about you going live-oh...what am I looking at?" Yunho and BoA leaned over and saw the underside of a table. The idols were confused about what they were seeing, especially since they could only hear muffled talking.

   "I dropped my phone during the meeting and got rushed out before I could pick it up," Yunho muttered, trying to understand what he was looking at. "I was trying to text Changmin about the meeting, but I guess my touch-typing skills need some work."

   BoA shook her head and smiled. "No, if anything it's a good thing. Depending on when it started, a lot of people probably heard what was going on, including the shooting."

    Kakako!

   Leeteuk backed out of watching the live and opened his notifications. "Okay, Baekhyun just replied. He said that him, Taeyeon, and Onew are fine. Apparently they didn't hear what else is going on in the building, and they're discussing what to tell their members and ex-members."

   "The truth," BoA answered. "I mean, what else is there to say?"

   DING!

   The idols looked through Leeteuk's back window to see Mr. Kim and a couple of men coming out of the elevator dragging an unconscious Kangta behind them. The idols watched in shock as they opened the trunk of a white car and threw their friend in. "Take him straight there, you hear me? I'll be joining you after I get the rest of the paperwork." Mr. Kim spat on Kangta, then slammed the lid shut. A couple of the men got in the car, and Mr. Kim went back to the elevator.

   "Where are they taking him?" Yunho whispered, wishing he had his phone with him.

   "We need to follow them," BoA stated.

   Leeteuk nodded, and waited until the car started pulling out and went around the corner. He turned on his car and rolled down the windows. "BoA, I'm going to need you to take notes about the car, just in case we lose it."

   "Got it."

   The idols slowly followed behind the car, making sure to keep some distance between them. Just when they were about to exit the garage, they saw a black car quickly make a U-turn and nearly hit them as it raced in the direction they were about to go in. Leeteuk was annoyed, but he tried to remain calm and follow after the white vehicle. Every time the white car made a turn, he felt panicked and tried to speed up. He nearly hit the black car at one point, which caused the passenger to turn around to look at them. They met eyes, and to their shock, they recognized the guy and he recognized them. The man broke out in a smile and waved at them.

    "Is that Jaijin from Sechskies?" BoA asked waving back.

    Leeteuk laughed. "Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I know who the driver is too."

    The white car reached a red light an intersection away from them. As there were quite a few cars ahead of them, Leeteuk felt comfortable pulling into the lane next to the black car. Both cars rolled their windows down. Sure enough, it was Jaijin and Jiwon from Sechskies. "You chasing after Kangta too?" Yunho asked. The two older idols looked panicked. "He's really in that car?!"

   The SM artists looked confused. "Yeah, isn't that why you're following it too?"

   "No, we were originally heading this way because Heejun told us to stick with Kangta, so we sent Suwon and our manager, but they got in a wreck," Jiwon explained. "We decided to come down to get him, but then Myunghoon told us about a live stream that was happening and said Kangta was dragged out of the room. A bunch of us agreed that we needed to tail any car that comes out of the building."

   "Boy, did we get lucky. Saving H.O.T and kicking ass is just what we needed to turn around a shitty day," Jaijin added, then looked back at the road. "Shit, the light changed, move!"

   Leeteuk and Jiwon continued to follow the white car until it arrived at a private hospital. They both slowly followed it into the garage, noting that nobody was in the security booth. The SM idols watched as Jiwon turned off his lights in the garage and stopped his car. Jaijin got out holding a crowbar. The idols watched the Sechskies member disappear around the corner.

   They were anxious about waiting for the man to return, but a few minutes later he jogged back into view and got into Jiwon's car. The black car sped off, and Leeteuk followed after, nervous about running into someone. They saw Jiwon get out of the car in front of the elevator, as he hadn't bothered to leave his car in a parking spot. Leeteuk figured that he did it because of the circumstances, but the Super Junior leader still parked around the corner to prevent him from blocking in the older idol's car.

   The SM idols joined the Sechskies members, as they waited for the elevator to come back down. Jiwon turned to them. "They took him up to the 25th floor, so that's where we're going."

   "So, what's the plan?" Yunho asked.

   Jiwon just shrugged. "As Jaijin said earlier, we're going to find H.O.T and kick some ass."

   BoA frowned. "That's the plan?"

   "Yup."

   The SM idols looked at each other, and all of them were wondering if they really should be following this guy. However, when the elevator doors opened, they got in anyway.

   Nobody talked on the way up. Luckily, no one got in with them so they had an uneventful trip. When the doors opened, Jaijin poked his head out, then silently motioned for them to follow him. They clearly weren't at a public hospital, as the nurse's station was small and it didn't seem like there were a lot of patients around.

   BANG!

   Everyone was startled when a door opened at the end of the hallway, and a man fell out. There was blood all over his face, and he was clearly knocked out. “That’s the driver. You think those guys are double-crossing each other?” Jaijin whispered.

   Jiwon pulled something out from his jacket, and rushed down the corridor with Jaijin hot on his heels, wielding a crowbar. Leeteuk, pulled both of them back around a corner, just in case things got messy. They waited for the sound of a struggle, but instead they heard the last thing they had been expecting.

   "Hyung!"

   The SM idols peeked around the corner and saw Jiwon hugging someone. It was H.O.T's missing maknae. He was wearing hospital pajamas and looked like he had terrible bruising on his face. Both of his hands were covered in blood, even though only his right hand had a cast on it.

   "I was scared no one was going to come to rescue us!" Jaewon sobbed into the shorter idol's shoulder, as Jaijin patted his back. "It's okay Jaewon, we're here."

   Leeteuk approached the emotional trio, with Yunho and BoA inching along behind him. None of them knew H.O.T's maknae well, so they were hesitant about joining the group.

   "Uh, hi?" Yunho interrupted, feeling bad when the older idols jumped.

    The H.O.T member pulled away from his former rivals and nodded at him. "Hi, Yunho, right? Sorry, I don't know much about TVXQ!, except from what I've heard from Heejun. He's really close with Jaejoong." Yunho nodded. "Yeah, Jae was a big fan of his." Jaewon turned his attention to BoA. "Obviously, I know you." The SM director laughed, as the H.O.T member turned to Leeteuk. "I think we've met a few times?" Super Junior's leader smiled. "I would have been the maknae if I hadn't joined SM so late." Jaewon gave him a hesitant smile. "Ah, but then you would have been in this mess with us."

   Jiwon turned serious again, and pointed to the man on the ground. "Speaking of which, Jaewon, did you take this guy out?" The tall idol nodded. "I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to fight back, but then they brought Chilhyun into my room a few minutes ago, and I just kinda...got defensive of my hyung, you know?"

   "Kangta's with you?" BoA asked, eager to step into see her friend.

   Jaewon nodded, and led them into the room. "Hyung! People came for us!" It was a large room with five hospital beds inside, and a small connected bathroom. The SM idols and Sechskies members wrinkled their noses at the smell of blood and vomit. However, that wasn’t quite as important as the people who were in the room. 

   On the left side was Woohyuk, who had a hard cast on one of his legs. He waved at them, but didn’t sit up. On the right side were Tony, Heejun, and Kangta. Heejun was asleep on one bed, and Tony was examining Kangta, who was lying on a bed close to the door. They all looked like they had been in a fight recently. Tony looked up when they entered and immediately ran over to hug Jiwon. “Is Jaeduk…?”

   “He’s going to make it,” The leader of Sechskies patted the smaller man’s back, as he started sobbing. “You can see him after we get out of here.”

   Jiwon pulled back and looked around the room. While everyone had been distracted by the appearance of the missing H.O.T members, they had completely ignored the nearly dozen bodies lying on the ground around the room. “What happened to these guys?”

   Woohyuk smirked. “Well, you see, most of them are the thugs who abducted us. All of us have injuries because of them. Luckily, they’re just knocked out, which means I’ll get to have a crack at them when I feel better.”

   “Whoever ordered for us to be brought here owns this hospital. The doctors and nurses here are sick people. Aside from hitting us and depriving Jaewon and Woohyuk of food, they also gave us meds to either knock us out, or make us feel too weak or nauseous to do anything,” Tony explained.

   “So, then how did you guys take them down?” Leeteuk questioned, trying to count the bodies. “There’s a lot of people on the ground.”

   Tony walked over and patted Jaewon’s back. “One of the good things about the meds is that Jaewon, Woohyuk, and I were so nauseous that we kept throwing up the next dose they tried to jam down our throats. Seeing as how Woohyuk can’t walk, they just gave him a trash can. As for us, well, they thought we were going to stay in the bathroom for a while and got distracted when Heejun came.”

   “So, then when Kangta was brought in…” Yunho said, piecing it together.

   “We felt good enough to come out,” Tony laughed. “But of course, our maknae saw them man-handling Chilhyun, and well, I think you can tell what happened next.”

   “I’ve been boxing since my cancer surgery a few years ago, and I’m even licensed. But I never managed to seriously hurt anyone - let alone knock them out!” Jaewon beamed with pride.

   A groan caused them all to jump. Heejun grabbed the back of his head, and whined in pain. “Hyung!” Jaewon called, bounding over to his leader. “Are you okay?” The oldest member of H.O.T sat up wincing, then looked around. “Jaewon?” The maknae frowned, “Of course.” When Heejun didn’t register his presence, Jiwon came over and waved his hand in his friend’s face. Although Heejun’s eyes were open and he was blinking, he didn’t react to what Jiwon was doing at all. Jaewon and Jiwon looked at each other in panic. “Jaewon?” The youngest member of H.O.T grabbed Heejun’s hand. “I’m here, hyung.” 

   Everyone jumped when they heard a shout down the hall.

   “WHAT THE FUCK!?”

   “That’s Mr. Kim,” Leeteuk panicked, turning towards the door. “What do we do?”

   “We fight,” Jiwon stated as he reached into his pocket. The SM idols were startled to see him pull out a handgun, but he ignored their surprised faces. “We’ll distract them. You guys get H.O.T out of here, okay?”

   “Sure,” Yunho said, going over to figure out how he was going to carry Woohyuk. BoA went over to help Tony grab Kangta. Leeteuk quickly went to Heejun’s side, and got him to stand up. Jaewon, however, joined his former rivals. Jiwon looked at him warily. “You got some fight left in you?” H.O.T’s maknae nodded, and put his fists up.

   Everyone in the room was silent and on edge. They listened as the sound of hurried footsteps got closer. Just when the tip of a leather shoe appeared in the doorway, Jaijin swung his crowbar, and a loud thud could be heard.

   There was a second where nobody moved, then things kicked off. There were about half a dozen guys in the hallway. Jiwon aimed his gun at someone, but it was kicked out of his hand and the bullet struck the ceiling. That didn’t stop the idol, though, because he immediately resorted to punching his way through. Jaijin whacked a man with his crowbar, so hard, it knocked the man’s glasses off his face. Jaewon dodged a punch, and returned with his own so strong, that the man knocked two other guys down. 

   “What the fuck are you doing up!?”

   Jaewon looked at Mr. Kim, whose mouth was open in shock. “Let me guess, you’re the man who started this.” Jaewon stepped over the men on the floor, and approached the new owner of SM. “Turns out your goons and doctors are just as shitty at their jobs, as you are at coming up with them.” The older man took a nervous step back, and then pulled out a gun, and shot at Jaewon. Luckily, he missed and the bullet went straight into the wall. The older man then turned, and fled towards the elevator with Jaewon right behind him.

   Mr. Kim took a sharp turn and started running up the stairs instead, periodically shooting in Jaewon’s direction. He probably meant to kill the idol, but was unfortunately a bad shot either because he wasn’t used to using the weapon or because he was shaking. He saw that the idol had bloody hands, and knew he didn’t want to be on the receiving end of his punches.

  The older man stopped at the top of the stairs and fired again. Jaewon ducked, and even though his ears were ringing, he was fine. He looked up, but the man had disappeared. As he got closer to where he last saw the man, he saw that the door’s lock had been what the man had fired at.

   Jaewon swung open the door, and realized that he was on the roof of the building. For a moment, soaked in the feeling of being outside after having been cooped up for so long. But then that peace was shattered by a loud BANG!

   Mr. Kim pointed a gun at Jaewon, panting from the unexpected run up five flights of stairs. “You’re a lot more resilient than I thought you’d be, I’ll give you that.” The idol stared up at the man in defiance. “Why are you doing this to us? We haven’t hurt anybody!”

   The older man laughed. “It’s not about you. Listen, kid. I’m from a chaebol family - in case me having a private hospital didn’t tip you off. Let’s just say that I’m looking to bring my family down by blowing all of their cash. Even though I’m the one with the finance degree and I’ve been one of the main heads keeping track of the numbers for YEARS, I found out that I’m not going to inherit shit. My father is dying, so I decided to look at his will, and guess what I found out? I’m going to get kicked out of my position so that my younger brother can take it. I’m only going to get this damn hospital and the rest of my siblings are about to inherit everything else. To add insult to injury, I found out a few days ago that this place has a history of malpractice and has been ordered to close soon, so that leaves me with NOTHING. I’ve decided to ruin them before they can ruin ME!”

   “But why did you choose us? What does H.O.T have to do with you?” Jaewon pleaded, keeping his eyes on the gun. Mr. Kim gave him a small smile. “While I was looking at which businesses to ruin,  One of the stocks my family owns is in SM Entertainment, and one of my bratty nephews was about to debut. So, it seemed like a perfect fit. I arranged for the purchase of SM, and it was easier than I had expected it to be. I saw your little announcement about your comeback, and decided it would be done through you. Afterall, if it came out that SM was engaging in kidnapping and attempted murder of former idols, that would cause the stock to drop. Honestly, I never expected that it would be so easy to find people who would help me with my plan, but they did a good job at getting you all here.”

   Mr. Kim’s smile dropped, and he readjusted his grip on his gun. “So, now you’ve got two choices: either you go back downstairs and sign a contract willingly, or H.O.T’s next album will only have four members after you take a tragic tumble off of the roof of my younger sister’s hotel. And make it snappy, I’ve got a few more purchases to make.”

   Neither choice was what Jaewon wanted. He didn’t like this man, but he also didn’t want to die.

    Well, I might as well go down swinging.

   Jaewon launched to his feet, and punched Mr. Kim right below the sternum. The man dropped the gun, but grabbed the idol around the middle and they both went crashing to the ground. They rolled around, punching and kicking each other, until they moved back towards the gun. Mr. Kim grabbed it, and smirked. “Say goodbye, kid.”

   Jaewon closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the pain to come.

    Click!

   Click!

   Jaewon opened his eyes, thinking that maybe he had died immediately. But his right hand was hurting too much for him to have passed on. Oh, and Mr. Kim was also looking pretty panicked, as he scrambled away from the downed idol, still pointing his gun at him.

    Click!

    Click!

    Click!

   “Oh…” Jaewon whispered, feeling a bit stupid. He wasn’t dead - Mr. Kim was out of bullets. It made sense because he had probably used most of them up when he was shooting at him when they were running up the stairs. But that didn’t stop the tall idol from being angry.

   “YOU ASSHOLE!”

   Mr. Kim looked up with a panicked expression on his face as Jaewon stormed towards him, ready to knock his lights out. But the older man dodged the blow, and the idol stumbled on. Before he could turn around, the older man was throwing punches at him, and all he could do was block and try to back up.

   Jaewon’s foot hit the edge of a low wall, and he realized that he was about to fall off. He noticed that Mr. Kim was starting to slow down and was breathing heavily, so the idol saw his chance and pushed him strongly. He went to run past the man, but he was grabbed by the back of his pyjama top and stumbled back.

   “JAEWON!”

   The idol felt his stomach drop as he fell backward. He saw Mr. Kim’s shocked face, then the night sky as his back bent towards the abyss behind him.

   Jaewon felt his head snap back as his fall was stalled by a tug on his pyjama shirt. He heard strangled yell from Mr. Kim, then he was yanked forward. He collided with something firm. It was then that he realized there were arms wrapping around him and he recognized the smell of cologne.

   “Hyung?” Jaewon whispered, as he shakily returned the hug.

   “I’ve got you, dongsaeng.”

   Jaewon crumbled and started to cry when he realized that Kangta had saved his life. He sobbed into the older man’s arms, as sounds of yelling and footsteps approaching could be heard. Both idols were startled when they felt more people join their hug. They looked up to see Woohyuk, Tony, and Heejun holding them tightly.

   "Jaewon, you're a fool you know that?" Woohyuk muttered with tears in his eyes. "Never go charging into danger like that ever again, you understand?"

   H.O.T's maknae nodded, sniffling. "Only if you stay with me."

   "Promise."

   Kangta looked up to see Yunho and Leeteuk leading police officers through the door. A few feet away, Jiwon and Jaijin had Mr. Kim pinned to the ground. And as for BoA, she was smiling at something on her phone. The vocalist turned back to his battered band mates and felt whole for the first time since their last meal together.

   Eventually, H.O.T followed the police officers and fellow idols down to the entrance of the building. While they had expected cop cars and ambulances to be there, that wasn't all that was waiting for them. They felt weak when they saw a sea of people wearing white ponchos. White Angels had come to see their idols themselves. They chanted their names while keeping the press from overwhelming the members as they were loaded into ambulances. The white sea parted again and allowed the emergency vehicles to spirit away the men.

   That wasn't the end of the love they received, but the beginning. BoA had taken a picture of the group hug on the roof and posted it on Instagram and Twitter, which caused a huge swell of support for the members as they recovered. Their social media and email accounts were constantly being bombarded by people wanting to hear the whole story. Many variety shows demanded that they make an appearance as soon as they could. The members uploaded pictures frequently showing their recovery. Friends and family stopped by frequently with food.

   Tony was the first to be released from the hospital after a few hours, as he had only sustained a minor concussion and bruising. However, he stayed to check up on the other members and Jaeduk, who had finally woken up and sobbed upon seeing his soulmate. Next to be released was Jaewon, as he had broken his right hand, but was mostly suffering from exhaustion. Like Tony, he stayed at the hospital anyway. Kangta sustained a minor concussion, but due to how he was choked by Mr. Kim, his vocal cords were damaged and would take a while to heal. Luckily, his doctor said that the damage wouldn't be permanent and he would be back to singing in a few months. Due to the fall Heejun had endured, he had hit his head hard enough for him to lose his sight. Like Kangta's affliction, it wasn't a permanent medical issue and he was able to see again after a few days. Although, headaches persisted for weeks. As for Woohyuk, he had a broken leg that needed surgery to fix what the doctor at the private hospital had messed up. Unfortunately, he would need extensive recovery time and physical therapy before he could even dream of dancing again.

   Sechskies visited with them frequently, and they all cracked up when they heard that the police had assumed Jiwon's gun to be Mr. Kim's. Although the idol was upset at the loss of his weapon, everyone was relieved that he avoided getting in trouble for owning one in the first place. After the initial investigation wrapped up, Sechskies (mainly Jaeduk) hounded the H.O.T members to do a collaboration.

   As for Mr. Kim, him and his cronies (including the complicit staff at his hospital) were all arrested and received multiple charges. While attempted murder and assault were bad on their own, it was really the firearm possession, fraud, and license plate forgery that really added to the charges. As it turns out, Mr. Kim wasn't as smart as he had thought he was. He thought that it would be impossible for the cops to find their cars if they all used the same counterfeit license plate. H.O.T were both amused and annoyed when they found out that the criminal had chosen 9696 not because of the cab Jaewon had taken the night he had been abducted, but because that was when Mr. Kim thought their debut date was. He was off by one day, as they had debuted on September 7th - not the sixth.

   SM Entertainment, meanwhile, tried to pretend like nothing had happened. From the sale to the deaths that occurred in the building, they squashed all attempts of the story being spread. However, there was one notable change that came from it. The day after he had been released from the hospital, Kangta had turned in his resignation as both director and artist. Multiple executives tried to get him to change his mind, but he refused. Instead, he told them to send him a bill for the penalty of breaking his contract, and left to pack up his office. Kangta had one more box to go when Lee Sooman came in.

   "Chilhyun, please reconsider."

   Kangta ignored the man, so he pleaded again. "You've been here for 25 years, you can't go. Everything is okay now, there's no reason to throw away a perfectly fine career." The idol turned to the man who had been his boss for over two decades. "I haven't thrown anything away - you have. You were ready to throw away the company you built for the sake of money," Kangta rasped, still not used to talking. "I don't know what's gotten into you for you to think it was okay to sign over the company to a complete stranger right after meeting them, but I'm not going to stick around the next time it happens." Kangta opened his desk drawers one more time to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything.

   "Chilhyun, it was just a small lapse of judgement-"

   "That's not 'a small lapse of judgement', and you know what else wasn't? Your decision to let H.O.T break up in the first place," Kangta snapped, as he slammed the drawers shut.

   "Chilhyun-"

   "Don't call me that. You've lost that right."

   "Okay, Kangta, please-!"

   "I've found a future, that's without your love~" Kangta whisper-sang mockingly.

   The founder of SM Entertainment chased after the idol, who ignored his pleading and fake tears.

   Kangta was relieved when he finally got to the lobby, as he was a few steps away from freedom. To his surprise, every idol who was still with SM was waiting for him. He wasn't close with all of them, but he had a feeling that they were curious about what he had gone through after hearing so much about it second-hand. BoA approached him. "Give me hug, loser." He put the box on the ground and hugged her. "I can come by and see you, right?" she whispered. Kangta pulled away and nodded. He looked around the lobby, and it felt like everybody was waiting for him to say something.

   The former SM idol leaned over to his friend and whispered, "Tell them that they are welcome to say hi to me anytime, and that I'm sorry things had to end like this." BoA repeated his words. "What are you going to do next, the H.O.T album?" Leeteuk asked. Kangta nodded. "Warrior's Descendant' is my top priority right now. The members and I decided that it will be our magnum opus. We're getting older, and we know that we won't be able to be idols forever. Since it was the song that changed Korea, we wanted to revisit the title itself and use it to create a new anthem to encourage those who came after us and were fans of us. This album is our request for you all to take up our torch. If you can speak out and use your art to change Korea and the world for the better, then you will have fulfilled our last wish as H.O.T. Thank you." He gave a short bow, as BoA relayed his words tearfully. Then, he picked up his box and left SM Entertainment forever.

   For the last few years, no one had been eagerly awaiting his appearance like when he was younger. However, he was delighted to see so many people holding H.O.T light sticks and wishing him well. He had a small smile on his face as he approached his van. Tony threw open the door and grabbed the box from his hands. Kangta closed the door and found his seat. "You okay?" Heejun asked seriously. Kangta nodded, and put on his seat belt.

   "What now?" Woohyuk asked, as their new group manager drove away from the crowd.

   Jaewon smiled, "We enjoy our time as H.O.T from now to eternity."

Re: Yoochun being kicked out from JYJ (and everything that followed): it was probably the first time Yunho and Changmin were happy the split happened.😂 There ain't no way TVXQ would've survived that.

Hm, actually yeah you're right. Changmin and Yunho were kind of always in the position of not being allowed to address their thoughts on the split or the people who left the group. It's hard to imagine TVXQ having five members in 2019 and the lives of everyone in it have changed a lot since the split the decade prior. But yeah, if Yoochun had still been in an A-list 2nd gen kpop group the same year Burning Sun happened... 💀 if anything I think that's what kept Yoochun's shit from absolutely taking over the press

[ogcassiopeia]

I love your blog , I just became a Cassie last month and even though I knew about "share the world" , "we are remix" and "asu wa kuru Kara" from the last 4 years I never knew who sang them, I wish I wasn't so ignorant of TVXQ and Tohoshinki as K-pop and Jpop artists. I don't know why almost their entire Japanese discography still isn't available on Spotify , SM loves profits and still they haven't made available their Japanese discography on Spotify.

I have fallen in love with every song of theirs that I have listened to whether it be Catch Me , Hug , Purple Line , Balloons, Wrong Number, Maximum, Keep your Head Down , Broken , Spellbound, She , Love in the Ice , Bolero , Doushite, Unforgettable, My little Princess, The Chance of Love , Humanoids, and all of them, all of them engraved themselves in my heart just by listening to them for the first time.

I hate how SM entertainment is treating Yunho and Changmin like this , even as new fan it's really unbearable and saddening and frustrating, they can give comebacks to all of their groups but not to TVXQ.

The songs that SM entertainment produces now for their new groups sound horrendous and those songs would never be eternal like TVXQ's songs.

I can't imagine the pain of veteran cassies who see TVXQ's history and legacy being erased everyday by new k-pop fans and SM entertainment. More power to you.

Sorry this got a bit long.

I know it took me some time to get to responding to this comment - but thank you so much for being a TVXQ fan and welcome to Cassiopeia! 🥰

It is very difficult as a long time fan of TVXQ to watch as SM slowly and methodically puts them on the shelf. How newer kpop fans have forgotten about them and SM just doesn't seem to care to save TVXQs image or legacy any more. It hurts so so badly....and I feel there is nothing I can do to stop everything.

[babieken]

hiii - hope you are good!!!

1) how good was monsta x’s performance at mama !!! and I’m so emotional for them winning an award !!! I made myself more sad by imagining wonho was on stage with them

2) Wonho going… sad times but I know he’ll be the kind super Solider

3) I won tickets to see TVXQ in Japan next year. I feel guilty as I haven’t been a fan for too long (after Changmin’s solo so mid Jan) and I won tickets. Anyway I’m 25 but let’s just say my mum and I’s relationship is very strained (she is emotional abusive towards me) and I don’t know how I am going to tell her and how she is going to let me go. It’s exhausting having to deal with this, I hope your relationship with your family is good!

Sorry if that is too much, ignore or delete this ask. I don’t want to trigger you. I hope you are okay, I enjoy seeing you on my dash. Take care x

hiiiii <333 im sorry this took me ages to answer i literally forgot sleifslef (I usually see I have an ask at a very inconvenient time but back in the days I used to get them more regularly so I'd remember to go back and reply but nowadays they're so rare I totally forgot so sorry ;;;;)

award show season is such a weird time isn't it? like the perfs and red carpet and stuff are so fun but the rest of the time the fandom (mostly on twt ofc) is either fighting over votes or fighting other fandoms bc somebody is always butt hurt about something sidhfsldf but yeah I was pretty emotional and excited to because it's been so long since we've had monek on stage like THAT! it was so epic even tho they had some issues with the sound in the beginning...

please... i'd say don't remind me but it's on my mind all the time too TT TT I really don't know how to handle him leaving... like... i'd say I'm not nearly as active (or into) kpop these days and wonho was one of the main reasons keeping me here so I'm kinda afraid that if monsta x doesn't become more active (especially with minhyuk and kihyun possibly leaving soon) I'll drift away from kpop entirely.

oh my gosh that sounds so exciting!!!! and u absolutely don't need to feel guilty for being a newer fan! that doesn't determine your worth as a fan! you deserve to see them as much as any other TVXQ fans!! (huh I just realized I have no idea what their fandom is called siljflsjf) oooffff family relationships are tough... i can't say I have any advice for u bc I don't have enough knowledge abt ur relationship with ur mom. like I can't tell u 'just do whatever u want, ur old enough' bc I don't know the stakes for u. I just hope you find a way to work it out and go to the concert and take back control over ur life whatever it might mean in your situation.

When He Has A Nightmare, But You’re Not There ~ TVXQ Reaction

Yunho:

You were lost in your own little world, completely unaware of what was going on in the room above you in the kitchen. Up there, Yunho was panting, darting out of the bed as he failed to see you there beside him.

Heavy footsteps coming down the stairs were what finally caused you to look around, eyes widening as you looked to the stairs to see Yunho bolting for you.

Your hands reached out to hold onto his arms as soon as Yunho was close enough to you. “Breathe,” you told him, meeting his eyes.

“I-I had a nightmare that you were taken away from me,” Yunho began to tell you in between shaky breaths, “I woke up and you weren’t there, I thought it was real.”

“I’m right here,” you softly smiled at him, holding onto him tightly, “you can feel me, and see me, I promise that no one took me.”

A sigh came from Yunho as he slowly began to calm himself down, “I’m sorry, it just scared me thinking that maybe you weren’t here.”

Your head nodded understandingly as Yunho’s smile slowly turned up, “don’t worry, I’m sorry I wasn’t upstairs to be there for you.”

“Don’t apologise, none of this is your fault.”

Changmin:

The sound of your phone buzzing left you with no choice but to groan, rubbing the sleep out of your eyes. Whilst picking up your phone, your eyes caught your alarm clock just beside your bedside, sighing in frustration.

You couldn’t remember the last time that you saw the early hours, but as expected, when you saw who called, there was only one person that it could be.

With your eyes still waking up, you managed to accept his call, bringing your phone to your ear. “What do you want at this time?”

You were startled though as straight away you could hear Changmin’s fast breathing. “Are you still my best friend Y/N? I mean you still like being my friend, right?”

“What? Of course,” you chuckled in disbelief at Changmin’s question, “did you really need to call me at half three in the morning to ask?”

A hum came in reply to you from Changmin, “I had a nightmare that you didn’t want to be friends with me, I needed to check with you.”

You could only chuckle, settling back down against your pillow, “only you would panic at three in the morning that that was real.”

“I just didn’t want for it to come true.”

Do not mess with Changmins friend

Word count 520

       ✳ The Rooms ✳

On the 6th hole, the sun is shining. It's a glorious day, Changmin notices his friend is not his usual self, "woman trouble?" He asks Minho casually. Minho voices his concerns that his lady love may be going to dump him. Changmin a loyal friend and a firm believer that his friend deserves happiness "I have an idea but first let's finish this game".

⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳

Minho explains he has an adventurous fun day planned. When they arrive "escape  rooms?"  Minho tells his lady love this is his friend's establishment and he asked him to test it out before he went public, so he thought why not help a friend and have fun. Walking to the door, the 'welcome' sign seemed ominous more than welcoming. Greeted by a cordial voice of welcome in the elaborate foyer. "Coffee?" Minho speaks up taking the kind offer of coffee stating make that two. The foyer is furnished elegantly with a feel of turn of the century.  "Please sign the waivers" the voice instructs.  Minho without hesitation picks up the quill pen and signs. "Why aren't you signing?" Minho asks.

"Did you even read it? It says if we don't get out by the time allotted we never get out!" Minho gives his lady a look of complete innocence,  "just a gimmick"

Signing the waiver with unease Minho smiles enigmatically.

♠

"Choose or die!" The voice booms, one door labelled 'Heaven' the other 'Hell'. Minho leaps towards the door labeled 'Hell', "come on!" Entering through the doorway, once in the room the door slams shut. A timer on the wall clicks the minutes away, a neon sign flashes 'rest in pieces'. "We have to find clues, to find a way out!".

..

On the wall next to an electric light switch: a message.

⚡(Un deux trois quatre) I ain’t scared of electricity So it`s OK You shock me me shock me me shock me me shock God is it bad?...⚡

Flipping the switch, zapppppp "fuck!" Minho rushes over "are you okay?" "No!".

Eventually the clues are found which unlock all the necessary elements to unlock the door.

⏩

A glass of water on a table stands out due to its solitude in an otherwise cluttered room. This can't be real? The water swirls in a current suspended above the glass, fascinated she touches the water and is swooped into a flood of water. Tumbling and spinning within the water bubble, tossed as if hit by wave upon wave, then suddenly she is dropped to the floor  with a loud bang! A drenched cat! "Wow, did you see that ?" Minho enquiries.

"Yes, let's get outta here,now !" She utters dazed.

Room upon room mishaps befall the unfortunate female whilst Minho remains unscathed. 

Tick tock tick tock. The timer counts down.

Looking for clues, the timer sounds off. "You are out of time!" A voice informs. "Minho did.."

Minho  is gone! "Minho Minho Minho Minho!" She screams.

Changmin is very pleased with the test, "ready for another round  let's hit the course" he smiles.

"Don't worry your lady is going nowhere!".
