She’s So Fine | Maya Chapter

author's note: I know it doesn't really have anything to do with the live, but it's kinda inspired by it, so I hope you like it anyway ! let me know what you think of it and thank you so much for the request !

January 29, 2023

''Hey! Don't touch me, I have a girlfriend.'' Jeongguk drunkenly protested, prying the unwanted arms from his body. ''Stop, please!''

''Are you serious right now?''

''Stop! That's not cool, I have a girlfriend!'' He tried moving away from the displeasing touches, the woman in front of him not seeming to get the hint that he wasn't that kind of a guy.

Jeongguk's vision must have experienced some huge errors after those countless refills of his beer, because he had no reason to shy away from the person who found him lying on his couch.

Jieun had made her way to Jeongguk's apartment after spending almost an entire day at the company. The endless recording and practicing had taken almost all the energy from her body, the only small amount that was left was reserved for the man who had been bugging her for the last hours to come back home.

Ever since Jin had been enlisted into the military, her boyfriend hadn't been too keen on really doing anything that consisted of going outside. She was happy that he was resting so well, but the man hadn't seen sunlight for almost a week now. His days were spent watching Netflix, ordering food and taking care of Bam.

So as she walked into his apartment, she expected to find the same image that she had seen all week; Jeongguk eating in front of the tv with Bam. However this day, it was quite a different sight.

Bam greeted her at the door, nothing out of the ordinary. What was out of the ordinary, was the lack of noise from her boyfriend. She could hear something playing on the tv, but nothing from Jeongguk's side.

Upon walking into the living room, she was met with a disoriented man mumbling inaudible things to himself, while he laid face down on the couch. The empty soju bottles and half-full beer glass indicated the singer had had a fun time on his own.

Jieun tried getting him up and into his bed, but that's when the man started opposing and tried pushing her arms away. He didn't recognize her.

She might as well have fun with this.

''A girlfriend, huh? Tell me about her.''

Jeongguk let out an unexpected snort. ''Why do you want to know about her?'' Before Jieun could even reply, he continued. ''She's- she's so fine.'' He smirked to himself.

''I don't know how to begin, she's just- ugh, so perfect. She has everything you could want in a person, you know? When I first saw her, we were like 18, I was like damn,'' that last thing made both of them laugh, a sudden American accent coming out, ''she smiled at me, well at us, my hyungs were there too. I don't know what she thought of me, to be honest. I thought she was beautiful, she was hot- she was so hot. She- she had this leather jacket on, her hair was down and she still had to get her make-up done. I watched her while she sat in the stylist's chair, I thought she looked like the most beautiful thing in the world.''

''I love her so much, I should tell her more that I do. That's why you can't touch me or kiss me, you know? I'm not a cheater, I don't do that. It would hurt her a lot and I don't want to do that. I would never do anything to hurt her, that- that would kill me.''

''Don't tell her I said this, but- I, uh, I think I'm gonna marry her someday. Well, I don't think, I know I'm gonna marry her. I would be an idiot not to.''

Jieun watched him in awe, speechless at the confession he just gave. She knew that Jeongguk loved her, that was an obvious given. However, she didn't know how much he actually loved her and how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

His declaration of love must have sobered him up as he finally noticed her return. ''Ji- Jieunie? You're back, oh, I missed you so much.'' His arms quickly found their way around her and he left kisses all over her face.

''Yeah, you look like you had fun over here.'' She dramatically glanced at all the empty bottles on their coffee table.

He followed her eyes, grinning shamelessly. ''We did, didn't we Bam?'' The boy joined them on the couch upon hearing his name, safely putting himself in-between Jeongguk and Jieun.

''I'm gonna get you some water and aspirin, and afterwards you can clean all your mess up.'' She wanted to get up and head to the kitchen, but her boyfriend stopped her. ''No~,'' he whined, ''don't go, you just got here.''

Jieun got up anyway, pressing a short and sweet kiss against his lips. ''You know, the first time I ever saw you, I thought you looked really good in those jeans you were wearing.''

''Hell yeah, I did.''

[bonnielunkas]

alright people who actually care about my silly fazbear frights au, i gotta ask...

[scfttwice]

protective

> jina is always protecting sana, but sometimes she needs to be protected too.

to say that jina was excited to flaunt her new dress would be a terrible understatement.

she had bought the khaki-colored article of clothing online without a second thought, believing that it was the cutest dress she had ever seen. and when it finally arrived, she wanted to go out wearing it as soon as possible. so when sana asked her to accompany her out to a mall, the korean-japanese girl didn't need to think twice to answer.

“jiji! that dress is so cute!” sana complimented her when the two met up in front of the maknae dorm. jina gave a little twirl, the dress that hung well above her knees twirling with her. ready to leave, the two girls looped their arms together as they headed towards the elevator.

.

.

.

“ooh! let's go in there!” sana pointed to a perfume store at the end of the floor. although the bucket hat that the older woman was wearing did a great job at covering her face and concealing her identity, jina could still make out the way her unnie's eyes shone with excitement. sana's fascination towards scents in turn fascinated jina, as the latter always enjoyed seeing the former get all excited to find and try out new scents. with a wide, fond smile, jina let sana grab her hand and pull her towards the aforementioned store up ahead.

jina followed sana around the store, every now and then taking a whiff of the different perfumes that caught sana's interest to give her opinion on the scent. the store was practically empty, and the staff, even though they had recognized the two idols, were very respectful and gave them their space to browse, so both sana and jina lowered their guards as they shopped.

big mistake.

“aren't you from twice?”

the sudden appearance of a man in front of the two made the both of them jump slightly in surprise, looking up at the stranger wide-eyed. he gasped when he got a better look at their faces, the look of excitement on his face unmistakable. ��you are! you're jina and sana!”

although still taken aback, the two smiled and nodded politely. they assumed him to be a fan, and they didn't want to be unnecessarily rude to one of their beloved onces. “can i take a selca with you guys?” he asked, already taking his phone out without waiting for an answer from either of the girls. they were starting to think that the guy was taking advantage of their politeness, and jina wasn't gonna let that happen.

“i'm sorry, but we'd rather not,” she told the man while still smiling, though now nowhere near as genuinely as before, stepping in between him and sana. “we'd really appreciate it if you would let us shop in peace.”

the man scoffed in response and jina was caught off guard by his blatant rudeness. “oh come on, it's just one picture. wouldn't hurt anyone, right?” he took a step closer to jina and that added to his refusal immediately made her feel uncomfortable, as she took a step back into sana to get away from him. as this happened, sana caught sight of the man's phone, the device catching her attention due to how weirdly he was holding it, she noticed. that was when she saw that the camera app was opened and it was currently recording a video. the man took another step forward and as he did, his hand holding his phone moved closer to the hem of jina's dress. upon realizing this, sana could've swore she started seeing the world in red.

despite being younger, jina had always been the protective one between her and sana. she'd do anything to protect her unnie, be it from bugs or from haters, doing so without much thought. but sometimes, even the protector needed protecting, and sana was more than willing to and capable of defending the younger girl.

the older protectively pulled the younger behind her and faced the man invading their personal space, her usual bright and cheerful eyes replaced by a sharp glare as she shoved his phone back towards him. “please leave before we call for security,” she threatened, but she didn't need to go alerting anyone for help because the store's staff themselves had caught on to the tension between the idols and the disrespectful “fan”, and were heading towards the entrance of the store where a security guard stood at the ready. noticing this, the man's facial expression turned into one of frustration before he ultimately turned around and quickly left the store. with him finally gone, sana let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.

“are you alright, shatang?” jina asked with evident concern in her voice, stepping out from behind sana to face her with furrowed eyebrows. “i should be asking you that, jiji,” sana said with a slight whine in her voice, subconsciously pouting as she looked at jina. “he was being so creepy and that clearly made you uncomfortable. and his phone, he was recording...that was just unacceptable.” jina couldn't help the smile that pulled at the corners of her lips as she stepped forward and hugged sana. “thank you,” she murmured. “for protecting me.”

“of course,” sana sighed into jina's shoulder. “i'm never gonna let anyone harm you in any way.”

needless to say, sana became even more attentive towards jina throughout the rest of their time at the mall, holding her hand and keeping her close at all times.

There isn’t much that bothers Jae

Masterlist and other Follow Me links in bio!

Jae was living his best life.

He would be the first to admit that there had been times throughout his years with Twice that he hadn’t loved their concepts. It wasn’t that he had a problem with some of the more feminine or cute elements, it just wasn’t always his style. But this concept, regardless of the choreography, was exactly what he’d always wanted.

Lounging back in a beach chair, sipping on a fake cocktail with his shirt unbuttoned, was exactly where he’d imagined his career ending up.

“And…cut!” The director called. “That looked great. You can go take a break and then we’ll start setting up for the group dance.”

“Roger that.” Jaewoo took a sip of the cocktail as he stood, wincing when it turned out to just be coloured water. “That was disappointing.”

He left his shirt unbuttoned as he stepped off of the set and into the warehouse-type place they were filming in. This was their second day of filming, and though he’d spent all of yesterday watching the girls film their solo shots, he had encouraged them to rest rather than watch him film this early in the morning. Chae had popped by to say hi, but there was apparently breakfast in the dressing room and so he’d spent most of the morning filming by himself.

The dressing room was blocked off by just a curtain, and he could hear raised voices from inside as he approached. Shoving the curtain aside, he stepped in, the voices falling silent.

“What’s going on?” He asked casually.

Nayeon just crossed her arms and looked away.

Jae furrowed his brow, looking around the room. None of the girls seemed willing to meet his eye. Even Chaeyoung was staring at her phone without anything on the screen. Tzuyu was picking at her freshly manicured nails.

“Okay,” Jae dropped onto the couch next to her, swinging his arm around her shoulders. “Who do I need to beat up?”

“What?” Tzuyu looked up in surprise.

“You guys all look super depressed, so tell me who we’re mad at and I’ll go teach them a lesson.” He winked. “I’m willing to risk messing up this pretty face for all of you.”

“It’s nothing.” Jihyo said quickly, plopping into her chair.

Jae looked at all of their faces. They were definitely hiding something. “Come on. Own up or I’ll have to start harassing random staff members. Did someone say something to you guys? Was someone creepy? I told them we needed an actual door on the dressing room. That director is going to – “

He was halfway out of his seat when Jeongyeon finally spoke up.

“We’re fine, Jae, chill. No one said anything to us.”

“Good.” He flopped back down. “Now tell me why you’re all being so mopey.”

Jihyo sighed. “Have you been on Naver today?”

“Naver?” He shook his head. “No way. I rolled out of bed and right onto set. Why?”

“Here.” Dahyun held out her phone, the screen open to the Naver home page.

He leaned down to take the phone, looking over the screen. Trending number two on Naver was his name, and when he clicked on it, it took him to an article linked to a video.

“Fifteen minutes of Jaewoo from Twice being an embarrassment to men everywhere.” He read aloud. “Huh, this has like one hundred thousand views.”

“We already called the company. They’re going to see about getting it taken down.” Nayeon said quickly.

“Kay.” Jaewoo tossed Dahyun’s phone back to her and then leaned back to rest his head on the couch. “Urgh, wake me up when there’s more food.”

“That’s it?” Sana demanded. “Why aren’t you more upset?”

He popped one eye open. “Should I be upset?”

“Well, yeah…” Mina tilted her head. “There’s people saying really mean things about you online.”

He shrugged. “It doesn’t really bother me. I don’t think I’m an embarrassment to all men, so why should I care if they post a video of me dancing to our choreography? It’s free promo.”

“It’s mean.” Tzuyu said.

“Maybe. But it doesn’t bother me.” He patted her shoulder. “And it shouldn’t bother you guys, because I’m used to it.”

“What do you mean you’re used to it?” Jeongyeon asked.

Jaewoo sighed, trying to think of the right words. “I guess…I expected this sort of thing when I ended up in a group full of girls that debuted with a cute concept. It’s never bothered me. I know what I’m capable of, and I love the music we put out. Why should I care if my dancing doesn’t meet someone else’s expectation of what I should be?”

“That was…” Nayeon frowned. “Surprisingly mature of you.”

“I mean,” he continued. “I know I’m hot, so I guess everyone else is just jealous.”

“There he is.” Nayeon rolled her eyes.

“I’d hate to disappoint you.” He winked. “Besides, we all know I can shake my ass better than all of you combined.”

“Rude, and also not true.” Momo smacked his ankle. “I was all ready to defend you earlier and now you’re just being an idiot.”

Jae just shrugged, moving to rest his head on Tzuyu’s shoulder. “You still love me, right Tzu?”

“Sometimes.” She patted his cheek.

“I’ll take it.” He grinned. “Seriously though, guys, don’t sweat the article. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest.”

“We believe you.” Nayeon nodded at him. “But you have to promise to let us know if it ever does bother you. We have your back, you know. You don’t have to be the strong, stoic one all the time.”

“Strong and stoic.” He mused. “Makes me sound so mysterious.”

“Jae!” Jihyo chided.

“Fine, fine.” He shook his head. “I promise to tell you. Now, can someone find me something to eat? Because I skipped breakfast.”

“I brought an extra protein bar for you.” Tzuyu whispered.

“That’s why you’re my favourite.”

Hi will you do a chapitre about how Jungkook asked Maya out and what they talked about before the morning of when namjoon and hoseok come to his apartment to take him to the studio

Thank u🙂

The Blind Date | Maya Chapter

author’s note: here it is, my darling ! I had fun writing this one, Maya has all the confidence I wish I had, so I enjoy writing her make everyone around her flustered 🫢 I hope you enjoy this chapitre ☺️ and let me know what you think of it, I would love to hear it ❣️

December, 2020

“I’m not doing that, Yugyeom.”

Out of all the ideas she had heard from Yugyeom throughout the years, this was the most ridiculous one so far.

The Got7 member sighed. ''It's just one blind date!'' He was adamant on getting her to agree to this blind date that he had set up for her.

''Did you think about the fact that I'm an idol and that I'll receive a massive amount of hate and death threats for even just being caught on a date?'' Her own members had been caught up in a dating scandal and although the response wasn't too bad, there were many other examples of idols who got literally vilified for simply being in a relationship.

''You dated Seungyoun-hyung and no one found out!'' Yugyeom pointed out, taking another swig from his beer. Maya rolled her eyes at him. ''Oh, yeah! That's just the perfect reason to go, cause that relationship worked out perfectly, didn't it?'' She told him, sarcastically.

The start of her previous relationship went exactly like this. A friend talking her into going on a blind date with someone and Jieun wasn't having it.

''I think you should give it a chance! It's a really nice guy and I think you'll get along great.'' The truth was that Yugyeom had seen how her breakup with Seungyoun had affected her and he thought it was finally the right time for her to start dating again.

Jieun contemplated. ''Tell me something about this guy.'' She asked him, it had been a while since she hung out with someone other than her members or close friends.

''Ji, I don't know if you have ever heard of a blind date, but that's not really how it works.'' His sarcastic comment earned him a slap on the arm. ''You're not expecting me to actually meet up with a total stranger?''

Yugyeom tilted his head. ''Uh, I am, that's the purpose of a blind date.'' He put an emphasis on the 'blind'.

''Oh, come on! If you tell me one thing, I'll actually consider going.'' He shook his head. ''I'll say one thing about him if you promise you'll go.'' Yugyeom raised his eyebrow, awaiting her answer.

Maybe the whole blind date idea wasn't such a bad idea. Yugyeom seemed very sure that this dude was good for her and as much as Yugyeom liked to annoy her, he would never do something if it wasn't in her good interest.

''Alright, I'll go.''

Yugyeom clapped his hands and a big smile appeared on his face. ''Ha! Yes! I'll text him right now!'' He pulled out his phone and typed away, letting this mystery man know that she had agreed to go.

''Oh, so one thing about him…'' Yugyeom thought about something, ''he's the same age as us.'' He figured he had to make this man as vague as possible, not wanting her to know beforehand.

Maya was not impressed. ''That's it? No, I want something useful.''

''That is useful, now you know it's not some old man that you're meeting.''

''You're sure he's not some serial killer, right?'' Maya still had her doubts as she and Yugyeom went up in the elevator, on their way to her blind date's apartment.

Yugyeom chuckled. ''I promise you, he's a good guy.''

''Does he know he's meeting me?'' The closer she got to this mystery man, the more curious she got about his identity. ''He does, he has uh, liked you for a long time.'' The grin on his face didn't escape her.

''Dude, it's not some creepy guy, right? I'm not planning on giving my autograph or anything.'' She truly hoped whoever this person is, doesn't end up being some obsessive fan who would try something she wasn't comfortable with.

Her worries only seemed to amuse her friend. ''Trust me, Ji,'' they arrived at the right floor and stepped out of the elevator, ''he's not gonna ask your autograph.''

They stopped in front of a door and Yugyeom turned to her. ''You ready?'' He asked her, unsubtly trying to hide his smirk.

''I guess.'' Jieun didn't sound too sure, but Yugyeom knocked on the door anyway, immediately walking away. ''Have fun, Ji!''

Before she could say anything back, the door in front of her opened. As soon as she locked eyes with the man in front of her, her mind tells her she should have known it would be him.

''Hi..'' Jeongguk seemed very nervous, his eyes not meeting hers. She smiled at him, finding it quite endearing. ''Hi, I'm Jieun.''

He opened the door a bit wider, inviting her in. ''I kno- uh, I mean- I'm.. I'm Jeongguk.'' He stumbled over his words introducing himself, even though he didn't need to.

''I know.'' She copied his answer, wanting to ease his nerves.

It seemed to work as he finally cracked a soft smile and the tension in his shoulders visibly left. ''You want some slippers or something for your feet?'' Jieun had taken off her heels and was left bare feet.

She looked down at them and gave him a sheepish smile. Jeongguk pulled out a pair of home slippers and put them down in front of her. ''They're my mom's, so they should fit.'' He told her.

''Thank you.'' Jieun took off her heels and put her feet into the slippers, fitting perfectly.

''Uh, thank you for coming, I, uh, really appreciate it.'' Jeongguk thanked her, avoiding eye-contact with her.

Jieun gave him a smile, brushing it off. ''Oh, you don't need to thank me. You should thank Yugyeom, he really talked you up.'' She chuckled, reminding herself she needed to send the guy some flowers later for setting her up on this date.

''What did he tell you?'' Jeongguk motioned for her to follow him through the hallway into his beautiful living room that had an overview of the city.

She answered him as she inspected his home. ''He told me you were the same age as us, you have liked me for a long time and that you definitely wouldn't ask for my autograph.''

At the mention of him having liked her for a long time, Jeongguk's cheeks and ears heated up. He desperately looked around, seemingly trying to find something to which he could change the subject to. ''Oh, well, that's- that's very nice of him.''

''Oh my- let me take your coat.'' It's like he had a list of things to do in his head and he had accidentally skipped that step. Jeongguk moved behind her while she unbuttoned the long coat, he removed it from her and it revealed her black silk dress that she was wearing.

''Wow…''

Jieun turned around upon his words. ''Pardon?''

His mouth fell open a little, having become speechless as he stared into her eyes for the first time that evening. ''You, uh, you look, uh,'' Jeongguk stuttered, ''you look really pretty.'' He managed to get the words out.

''Thank you,'' she glanced down at her dress, ''you don't look too bad yourself.'' Jieun looked him up and down, totally aware he could see her checking him out. Jeongguk was wearing a grey turtleneck that accentuated his broad shoulders and biceps, paired with a simple pair of black trousers.

The blush reappeared on his cheeks and he looked down at his own clothes, remembering Yugyeom begging him to wear something ''that doesn't look like he only wears oversized shit''.

''Uhm, please follow me to the dining room.'' Jieun couldn't help but chuckle as he completely ignored her compliment and moved to the next room.

Jieun was pleasantly stunned when being met by Jeongguk's dining room. He had lit the place up with candles and a fresh bouquet of flowers stood in the centre of the table. ''This is really nice, Jeongguk. Do you always have dinner like this?'' She remarked, making the man laugh and shake his head.

His hand moved to her lower back, guiding her to her seat. Jeongguk pulled out her chair and helped her sit down properly, after which he took the seat across from her. ''Would you like a glass of red wine?''

She nodded at his offer. ''Yes, please.'' At her words, he opened the wine bottle that he had placed on the table before her arrival and opened it, pouring some in her glass and afterwards in his glass.

Jieun raised her glass. ''Cheers.'' Jeongguk seemed surprised, but quickly picked up his glass and they clinked their glasses together. ''Yes, cheers.''

''So…''

''Yeah, so…''

''You've liked me for 5 years?''

Jeongguk choked on his wine as the question left her mouth, causing Jieun to chuckle at his reaction. ''Uhm, well,'' his nervous behaviour returned and he couldn't look her in the eye anymore, ''has it been 5 years already?''

''I must have made a very great first impression on you, I mean that's quite a long time.'' Jieun continued, liking how flustered she was making him.

The flustered man in question looked down at his feet, a shy smile gracing his face. ''I, uh, I guess you did.''

''Were you too scared to ask me out or something?'' She couldn't help but ask him the question, confused as to why it took them this long to go on a date.

A faint blush appeared on his cheeks and ears, her straightforwardness catching him off guard each time. ''Scared might not be the right word, but… you're just very- you know, uh, I guess I was just afraid you would reject me, maybe.'' He admitted, looking away from her again.

''Who says I would have rejected you?''

''Literally everyone I asked for advice told me you would reject me.'' He laughed, taking a sip from his wine. ''I wanted to ask you out last year when our promotions overlapped, but BamBam told me to not even try.'' He confessed, slowly glancing at her reaction.

''Well, most of the time he doesn't know what he's talking about. You're a charming guy.'' Jeongguk sat up straight hearing her words. ''So, if I had asked you out then, you wouldn't have declined to go on a date with me?''

''No, I wouldn't have said yes.'' She told him, shaking her head.

The man in front of her furrowed his eyebrows. ''But- but you just said-''

''I had a boyfriend back then, Jeongguk. I would have rejected anyone.'' Jieun confessed, stifling her laughter at his clueless expression.

He defeatedly put his arm down, accepting her words. ''I guess that's fair.'' Jeongguk interchanged from looking at the table to her. ''I didn't know you were dating someone at the time.''

''Yeah, that's kinda the point of a secret relationship.'' She laughed, playing with the rim of her glass.

''Were you two together for a long time?'' Jeongguk hesitantly asked, not knowing if he was overstepping any boundaries by asking about her past relationship.

Jieun sighed before answering. ''For about a year,'' she thought of something, ''you know, the way he and I met is actually quite similar to this.'' She gestured between her and Jeongguk with her finger.

''Yeah? How so?''

''It was also a blind date set up by a mutual friend, and it was also with a guy who apparently had liked me for a long time. Oh, and just like in this case, I didn't know who I was meeting but they did know they were meeting me.'' The similarities between her blind date with Seungyoun and Jeongguk were hard to ignore.

The only reason why she was so adamant on not going on the date was because of how things ended between her and her former boyfriend. She never doubted his love for her once, yet he still decided to break up with her. Yes, it was because of his mental health at the time, but that didn't make it hurt any less.

''Was it also Yugyeom who introduced you?'' Jeongguk asked, becoming quite curious.

Jieun shook her head. ''No, it was someone else, but Yugyeom is also friend with him, so I guess that counts as well.'' She chuckled.

''Are you hungry? I can get the food if you're ready.'' Jeongguk suggested, already getting out of his chair. ''Yes, that would be nice.''

He send her one bright smile before disappearing into his kitchen. Jieun grabbed her phone from her bag, deciding to send Yugyueom a quick text.

Kim JiJi: you're a genius, Kim Yugyeom

KYUM: you never say that about me

KYUM: you must be enjoying yourself then 😏

Kim JiJi: I am, actually

KYUM: good

KYUM: you should kiss him

KYUM: wait no

KYUM: don't kiss him

KYUM: i think he'll pass out if you do that

Kim JiJi: okay loser

A loud sound of glass breaking made Jieun flinch and she almost dropped her phone in the process. ''Everything okay?'' She yelled out to him, hoping he hadn't hurt himself. ''I'm okay, I just dropped a plate, don't worry!'' Jeongguk yelled back, assuring her that everything was fine. She chuckled to herself, and put her phone away.

''Apparently you really like samgyeopsal.'' Her date walked back in the dining room holding two trays with pork and several different side dishes. He put them down on the table and spread them out, so she could easily reach for all of them with her chopsticks. The grill had already been placed in-between them and Jeongguk turned it on, placing several pieces of the pork belly on it.

She was impressed as Jeongguk sat down again, flattered by the fact that he had most likely asked Yugyeom what she liked to eat. ''This looks great, thank you so much.'' Jieun picked up her chopsticks and put several side dishes on her plate.

''My pleasure.''

As they started eating, Jieun quickly realised Jeongguk and Jihyo had a similar reaction to good food, the angry look on his face after taking a bite from the grilled pork belly bringing her much joy. After many glasses of wine later and finishing their food, the pair had moved to the living room, where Jeongguk had put on a movie that was quickly discarded as their focus was on each other.

''No way! Boa trained you?'' Jeongguk exclaimed, looking at her wide-eyed.

Jieun shook her head. ''No, she didn't train me. Lee Sooman just got her to teach me a few classes and she gave me some feedback, that's all.'' She clarified for him.

''No wonder you're so good.'' The last few hours, Jieun had gotten to meet the real Jeongguk. He had dropped the nerves and actually started flirting back with her. It was probably because of all the wine they had, but still, it was nice.

''I just love performing, you know? Looking into a crowd, seeing people happy and jumping up and down… it's amazing.'' She told him, a smile creeping on her face while talking about her passion.

Jeongguk unconsciously mirrors her smile. ''I feel the same way. I don't care how sick I am or whatever it may be, standing on the stage is a feeling like nothing else.''

''I miss it so much… fucking covid.'' Jieun mumbled, picking up her glass of wine. He chuckled, not used to hearing her curse. ''I know, this was supposed to be a good year.''

''So much has changed… and not just this year.'' Jeongguk said as he finished his wine and poured some more in his glass.

Jieun gave him a confused expression. ''What do you mean?''

''You know, you have all these new and younger groups now- and I just feel like everything has become so toxic and competitive. I know it has been like that for years now, but people can't look each other in the eye now or people make it a problem, making up rumours and all.''

She could tell by the way he was speaking that it had been bothering him for a while and she agreed with him. The amount of rumours that were created, because of meaningless interactions are ridiculous.

''I agree, like me and Baekhyun- you know Baekhyun?'' She quickly asked him and proceeded when he nodded, ''We accidentally touched hands at a music show and SM actually had to make a statement because of all the articles claiming we were dating.''

Jeongguk sighed. ''That's what I mean, it's becoming unbearable. You can't even say something to your friends anymore.'' He was sick of the toxicity of the industry that was created by fans who liked to make up stuff to fit their agenda of hate.

''Exactly!'' Jieun exclaimed, ''I think 2 years ago, Jennie-unnie won on a music show and our promotions overlapped so we were on the stage as well, and I went up to her and gave her a hug, and somehow people were critical of that? No matter what you do, people will make it a problem.'' She rolled her eyes, thinking back about all the times her and Jennie received hate as a result of their friendship.

''It's crazy, isn't it? It's the same for me and my friends, like Yugyeom and Mingyu.'' Jeongguk could relate to her about the distaste that critics expressed over their friendships.

A silence fell upon them, the both of them taking a few seconds to calm themselves down after talking about all that.

Jieun was the first one to start speaking again. ''I'm happy I get to talk to you about this.'' She spoke with such genuineness that had him almost speechless.

Jeongguk moved himself closer to her, to the point where there was no more space left between them. ''Me too, I'm happy I just get to talk to you.''

''What a charmer you.'' She laughed, putting her hand on his thigh. Her move must have sobered him up straight away as he made a weird sound.

Jeongguk scratched his voice before talking. ''Hey, I have a question.''

''Shoot''

''Before Yugyeom ratted me out, did you know that I've had a crush on you?''

Jieun lets the question sink in, her mind going back in the past. She thought about all the times the guy unsubtly stared at her from across the room or how he would look at the ground when greeting her and her members.

She patted his thigh a few times. ''You know, honey, you've never been a very subtle man,'' she started off, seeing him get shy again when the term of endearment left her lips, ''I wouldn't say that I knew you had a crush on me, I just thought you got easily flustered around women and that you just didn't really knew how to talk to us.''

''But I should've known when Jin kept talking about how talented and great you were, when he and I hosted that year-end show together.'' Jieun finished off, suddenly remembering how the oldest BTS member would butter the youngest one up to her.

Jeongguk covered his face with both of his hands, completely embarrassed. ''Oh, no.'' He dramatically exclaimed, making Jieun burst out laughing in return.

''I swear I didn't ask him to do that!'' He defended himself, putting his hands up.

''Yeah, sure, I believe you.'' Jieun did not believe him.

A comfortable silence fell upon them. Jeongguk stared at Jieun's hand that rested on his thigh, while her eyes were focused on him.

''Do you remember the first time we met?'' She hadn't fully heard the question, Jeongguk's face being quite the distraction.

Jieun snapped out of her trance. ''Sorry, what did you say?''

He smiled at her daydreaming. ''The first time we met- do you remember it?''

''I do remember it,'' she nodded, ''how can I forget the blushing guy who could barely get a word out?'' Jieun replied, an amused grin making its way on her face.

He pushed his shoulder against hers, hoping that distracted her from his red face. ''Come on, now.''

''I was- I was just very struck by you, and I didn't want to embarrass myself, but I guess I did that anyway,'' Jeongguk chuckled, ''and you were very sweet to us, and treated us with respect which not a lot of people did at the time, and I just wanted to thank you.''

Jieun was speechless by his words, not expecting him to say something like that. ''I mean, it's the bare minimum really, treating people with respect.''

''Yet, I haven't forgotten it after 5 years.''

She must have been staring at him for not even 10 seconds, but it felt like an eternity had passed before Jieun broke the silence.

''Can I kiss you?''

It was Jeongguk's turn to be speechless, his mouth slightly agape. ''You, uh, what? What?'' He blurted out, not believing his ears.

Her hand that was laid on his thigh moved to his chin, bringing his face closer to hers while she moved forward. ''I asked if I could kiss you.'' Jieun repeated herself, taking notice of him shivering as her breath fanned his face.

Jeongguk timidly nodded his head, not trusting his mouth to convey the right words. With his consent, she closed the distance between them and softly pressed her lips against his.

As he slowly started kissing her back, something clicked inside of him. It was as if he was an unfinished puzzle and she was the last piece that he had been looking for all this time. Kissing her felt like something that he was meant to be doing, it felt self-evident and he didn't want it to stop.

Meanwhile, Jieun wanted to hit herself in the head for not noticing his crush on her way sooner. She could have been enjoying this for years, but no she just thought that he reacted to everyone like that.

Jeongguk didn't know where it came from, but a sudden wave of confidence flew over him. He took a grip of her waist and sat her down on his thighs, so she was straddling him. Despite the desperation he put into the kiss, his hold on her waist was caring and tender.

They both pulled away, coming up for air. Jieun opened her eyes and was met with Jeongguk's eyes that were filled with adoration, she could almost feel it.

''Jieun…'' He choked out, completely out of breath. ''Do you, uh, do you want to stay over? It's quite late and it can be dangerous, you know.''

She cupped his cheeks with both her hands, a soft smile gracing her face. ''Well, if it's too dangerous outside, I'll better stay here then.''

vulnerable

twice 10th member au

jade breaks down and makes an important decision

WARNINGS: overworking enviroment, break downs, mentions of alcohol, emotional post

masterlist 👽 requests are open feedback is awalys important to me!

Jade looked at the mirror again, cleaning the tears that insisted on falling. At this point, after almost seven years as a kpop idol, she should be used to all of this, all this hate. But she didn't. 

Actually, Jade never really understood why people hated her. Was it the fact that she was good? Was she even that good after all? Jade didn't know. But she knew words have meaning and, sometimes, they hurt. 

If it was some years ago, she'd run and buy as many soju bottles as she could, but now things were just different. Still, this voice inside her head always made sure to remind her of all her weaknesses, all the times she failed, and made her think about all the chances she'd have to fail. 

Jade looked at her wristwatch. She was inside that bathroom longer than she expected. The girls would soon start missing her in the practice. 

Taking one more deep breath, she washed her face, hoping the cold water would reduce the swelling of crying for twenty minutes straight, fixed her mask, and went back to the practice room. 

"And she's back!" Nayeon said, clapping, being the first to notice Jade was back. 

Faking giggling, Jade fixed her hat, trying to pretend everything was fine and that it was just a pee break. 

"At least it was a good break." Chaeyoung joked with Tzuyu as they got up, ready to start dancing again. "I felt like my legs were moving alone." 

"You're lucky we're alone. If the managers were here we wouldn't even have breaks." Dahyun joked.

"Yeah," Jade agreed. "let's just end this. I want to go home." 

"Don't we all?" Sana also joked, puffing, making the girls laugh with her. 

Somehow, in the middle of all that laughter, Momo realised something was off. Jade was different from when she left the room asking for a quick break.

"Hey," Momo lightly grabbed Jade's arm, Jade humming in response. "are you okay?" 

Jade forced a giggle, trying to pretend she didn't know why Momo was asking her that. Her puffy face was definitely giving it up. 

"Sure!" Jade smiled through the pain.

"Jaidee, don't lie to me." Momo said with a warm smile. "It's me you're talking to." 

That was it for Jade. As all the emotions hit her all at once again, Jade just lowered her head, allowing the tears to fall and show how she was truly feeling. 

"Guys..." 

She heard Momo calling the other girls as she walked to the couch. Jade tried to hide her face with any of the pillows there as the girls started crawling around her. 

"Oh, Jade?" Jade heard Jeongyeon ask, almost whispering, scared of the girl's reaction. 

"What happened?" Mina asked, caressing Jade's now caramel hair. 

They all stayed quiet, listening to Jade's sobs filling up the room. None of the members had ever seen her in that state before. Of course, they saw her crying but never so... vulnerable. 

They looked at each other, trying to figure out who would be the first one to ask what happened. Was it Johnny? Was it her family? Was it their early jokes? No one knew. But they all knew one thing: Jade needed help. 

"Everyone h-hates me!" Jade mumbled against the pillow, sobbing. 

"No!" the girls said together. 

"Don't say this, Jade. We love you!" Nayeon said, running her arm around Jade's shoulder. 

"No, guys." Jade said, looking at the girls and taking her mask and hat off. That was when the girls realised how bad she was. "Didn't you see w-what people are t-talking about me?" 

The girls looked at each other again, trying to understand. Then, Jihyo's sighed. 

"The contract." she said, linking things. "The company announced we renewed our contracts today." 

"Oh..." Dahyun said, calling the girls' attention to her, and she showed her phone display. She tried to hide it as Jade was also looking. "People are loving you, Jade." 

"Stop lying, Dahyun!" Jade suddenly said. "People hate me all these years. I'm starting to regret renewing that fucking contract." 

"Don't, unnie!" Chaeyoung said, supporting her chin on Jade's lap and hugging her legs. "Don't listen to them. We're not TWICE without you." 

"Stop, Dahyun." Jade covered her ears and started crying again. 

"Jade, listen." Momo took Jade's hand out of her ear and looked straight at her. "Calm down. We're here to help you, but you need to calm down and tell us what happened." 

"I happened, unnie!" Jade exploded. "Stop pretending you guys don't know what happens every time something about the group goes out. People hate me and make thousand of petitions for me to leave. I just..." Jade sighed. "I can't do this anymore." 

"We know words hurt, Jade." Jeongyeon told her. "We are the living proof of this. But, if you listen to everything everyone has to say about you, you won't ever show your true value." 

"I've been doing this since when I was fucking fourteen, Jeongyeon. It feels like I can't breathe with all this weight on my shoulders." Jade tried to put her emotions into words, but the more she tried to explain, the more it'd hurt. 

"Look at us, Jade." Sana asked. "People hate on things that shine. Look at all the things you had to go through to be here today. Years of training, a survival show. All the songs you produced and all the idols you helped so far." 

"Your family is so proud of you, Jade. We are proud of you." Mina said, trying to comfort the girl. "If you want to quit, be honest with yourself because we know that you're bigger than all of these people out there. You just have to realise it yourself." 

"And, if you want to quit, we'll be here for you. As we've always been." Tzuyu reassured Jade. "Just don't make anything you'd regret." 

Jade took a slow glance around her. She has been living with these people since her teenage years. Some of them she only got to know at Sixteen, but it seemed like they've always been somewhere in her life as if Jade has always known them. 

The confrontation turns into action. Escape turns into inertia, and Jade hated inert people. 

It wasn't the first time she had thought of leaving the group. If that was supposed to happen, she'd have done this for bigger reasons than just people talking about her. Listen people saying that you're bad right at your face isn't a nice thing, but it surely was some gasoline for competitive souls like Jade's. 

Yet, Jade felt like she had failed with the girls, with the people who supported her the most. And she couldn't ever forgive herself for that. 

"I have no idea what to do next, guys." Jade honestly said, for the first time in years. 

"That is called 'not being tough all the time'." Naeyon joked, hugging Jade again. 

"We're not giving up on you, unnie." Chaeyoung said, still hugging Jade's leg. "TWICE will always be ten." 

When Jade looked down and saw Chaeyoung looking like a little kid, she couldn't contain it and let out a laugh mixed with a cry, uncertain of how to react to the scene. The girls also realised Chaeyoung's position and started laughing, the tense atmosphere gradually fading away. 

"Chae!" Jade whined. "Stop making me laugh." 

"If that makes you stop crying, then, I'm okay." Chaeyoung said, clinging even more to Jade's leg. 

Somehow, something inside Jade lighted up. You can be the greatest singer of all time, yet if you wake up with a hoarse voice on the day of your biggest show, it'd change everything. Yet, with all of the exhausting situations and hypotheses, Jade refused to leave the girls. 

She didn't want fame. She didn't want fans. As long as she had the girls next to her, everything would be just fine.

[ Missing ]

  ↳ Roller Coaster era (late Jan-early Mar 2019)

       ↳ Lily goes missing. All hell brakes loose. Every idol ever tries to find Lily.

m.list

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

There’s a kind of contentment that comes with being absolutely exhausted. When you’re that tired, you know you’ve done your best and pushed yourself yet you’ve withstood the tiredness and given it your all. That’s usually how Lily feels after a long day of practicing. She’d be extremely tired, ready to drag herself home and flop into bed and start over the next day. But not today.

The exhaustion is there, wearing well into her bones but instead of feeling content, she just feels tired. She’s not even supposed to finish practicing for another hour and yet she is just so tired. Usually she pushes on through, telling herself the pain now is worth it in the end. But this doesn’t feel like the tired she’s used to. It’s so much concentrated, seeping into mind and making her just want to sleep.

She stumbles over her own feet again as she tries to work through the dance break at the end of her solo comeback song for the nth time. She takes a breath and bends over, coughing as she braces herself on her knees. She just feels completely wiped out; maybe she’s been pushing herself too hard? She wobbles over to the couch on the side of the room and sits down with a sigh.

“Okay, Lily. Take ten then we’re back,” she says to herself.

She coughs again, clearing her throat before settling further back into the couch and leaning her head back. All it takes is a few deep breaths with her eyes closed and she’s out like a light.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

“Lily Lee~ Unnie made you breakfast,” Nayeon sings gently as she enters the maknae line’s room.

The eldest member carries a plate of blueberry pancakes, Lily’s favorite. All of the members are well aware of how hard Lily is pushing herself to make her solo comeback go nothing less than perfect. They know she feels guilty for being given so many individual opportunities over her members despite all nine of their reassurances that they’re nothing but proud of her. Nayeon decided to surprise Lily with her favorite breakfast in bed.

“Li...ly?”

Nayeon doesn’t think she’s heard Lily get up this morning. Tzuyu and Dahyun are still asleep in their bunks and Chaeyoung is out to brunch with a friend. Lily’s bunk, however, is empty, save for Blue curled up in his usual spot at the foot of the bed. Nayeon leaves the room and her eyebrows only knit together further when she checks and finds the bathroom empty.

“Jihyo, do you know where Lily is?” Nayeon asks.

Jihyo, Sana, and Momo sit in the living room eating the extra pancakes Nayeon had made. (The best ones, of course, had been puts on Lily’s plate.) All three of them look up at Nayeon’s question.

“Is she not in her room?” Jihyo asks.

“No.”

“Bathroom?”

“Just checked.”

“She didn’t stay at Jisung’s dorm last night, did she?”

“No, she was practicing until late,” Momo reminds the leader.

“Did anyone hear her come in?”

“We all went to bed before her but maybe?” Sana says.

Jihyo glances around at the growing worry on her members’ faces.

“Okay, um, Sana. Go ask the others if they know where Lily is and whether or not they know she came home. Nayeon, put Lily’s plate in the microwave and finish cleaning up the kitchen. Momo, call Lily’s cell and see if she’ll pick up. I’ll call Jisung and see if she’s with him.”

The other three girls set off to do as they were told and Jihyo pulls out her phone. She quickly finds the right contact and calls Jisung. NCT Dream’s dorm is practically Lily’s second home. She is constantly spending the night there, the other group’s maknae never complaining to give up his bed to Lily for the night if it means getting to joke around while eating cereal together the next morning. If not for their endlessly busy idol lives, they would be attached at the hip.

“Uhhh... Jihyo sunbaenim? Hello.”

The boy who answers the phone is not Jisung.

“Hello, who is this?”

“I’m Jaemin, one of Jisung’s members.”

“Where is Jisung?”

“He’s showering but he should be out soon- oh, he’s right here.”

Muffled, Jihyo hears, “Hyung, why are using my phone?”

Louder and closer to the phone, Jaemin answers, “It’s Lily’s leader.”

“Jihyo?”

“Yeah.”

Jaemin presumably hands the phone to Jisung.

“Noona?”

“Jisung. Is Lily with you?”

“With me? No.”

“Oh, okay.”

“W-Why? Is she okay? Did something happen?”

Jaemin says something Jihyo can’t understand. The sound that follows sounds suspiciously like Jisung hitting his older member.

“We’re not sure where she is right now,” Jihyo answers.

She looks up as Sana, Nayeon, and Momo return to the living room, several of the other girls coming with them, all looking worried.

“Do you need help finding her? I can call her,” Jisung offers.

“No, it’s alright, Jisung. Thank you, though. Bye-”

“Wait! Will you let me know when you find her?” Jisung says quickly before she can hang up. “Or ask her to text me when she’s home?”

Jihyo blinks, “Uh, yeah. I’ll tell her to text you. Bye, Jisung.”

“Goodbye...”

Jihyo hangs up.

“She’s not with Jisung,” Jihyo announces to the others.

“My call went straight to voicemail,” Momo says, “Her phone’s either off or dead.”

“I don’t like this,” Mina says. “Lily always tells us when she’s staying with someone.”

“Yeah,” Tzuyu agrees quietly.

“What if something happened to her?”

“She might just be at ITZY’s dorm. They live a little closer to the company.”

“But what if something did happen to her?”

“She was walking home late at night; someone should have gone to get her.”

“She’s so little.”

“If someone tried to grab her in an empty street she wouldn’t be able to do much.”

“What if someone recognized her?”

“What if she got kidnapped?!”

“What if she got followed by a sasaeng!?”

“Guys... GUYS!” Jihyo calls to get everyone’s attention. “Worrying like this isn’t going to help anyone. I’ll stay here with Sana in case she comes back. You all split up and start trying to find her.“

While the others hurry to pull on coats and shoes and throw their hair up into ponytails, Sana walks over to Jihyo.

“What are we going to do?” Sana asks.

“We’re going to start calling people,” Jihyo answers. “Anyone Lily knows and we don’t, we’re going to figure out their phone number and call them.”

“How are we going to do that? Like, I don’t have any of Blackpink’s phone numbers.”

“Well... okay. But you know Nayeon. And Nayeon knows Jisoo. Find connections like that.”

A few minutes later, Jihyo has gotten Blackpink’s eldest’s phone number and been told she’s not with them. Nonetheless, Jihyo tries to remember another one of Lily’s countless idol friends to try and call.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

What had gone from a ten minute break to a nearly nine hour night of sleep leaves Lily still fast asleep on the couch of a practice room that morning. She’s shifted onto her side, curled up and sleeping soundly. She wakes slowly, blinking and groaning at the bright overhead lights still shining from the night before. She eventually sits up and rubs the final remnants of sleep from her eyes. Her phone is dead, she realizes, getting the time from the clock on the wall instead.

10:13AM? Really? She was asleep that long? She’s almost surprised her body let her sleep for so long; she usually can’t make it past seven hours of consecutive sleep. She knows her members must be worried sick about her not being home after being alone the night before. She should head home right away to let them know she’s okay. As she pulls her coat on, she hopes her members aren’t worrying too bad.

Unbeknownst to her, the members of Day6 and Stray Kids are scouring the entire company building for her. Nearly the entire kpop idol community has become aware of Twice’s missing maknae as Jihyo and Sana have continued calling more and more people. If there was ever a day to run into an idol somewhere in Seoul, today would be that day as anyone who is able to is out looking for Lily.

“Come on, idiot, don’t actually be missing,” Jae mutters to himself as he starts checking in and out of practice rooms.

Despite Jae’s mean older brother act, it’s obvious and impossible to deny that he cares about the younger American. He’s always teasing her about her height but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how easily someone bigger than her could grab her and force her into a car or down an alleyway or-

“Lily!”

Jae spots Lily leaving a practice room further down the hall. The girl turns toward him.

“Oh, hey-“

Jae crashes into Lily in a hug, squeezing her tightly.

“Okay. Hi, there.” She pats his back as she hugs him back, confused as he usually only briefly hugs her in parting, “Is today a special occasion or...?”

“You are an absolute dumbass, Lilliana Lee!” Jae yells at her, smacking the side of her head.

“OW! What was that for?!” she whines.

“Your members have no idea where you are!” Jae exclaims. “They think you’ve been kidnapped or killed or something and have everyone you’ve ever even looked at for more than five seconds looking for you.”

“W-What?“

“They woke up and you weren’t at the dorm and you weren’t answering their calls so they started calling people to see if you were with them and now every idol ever is searching the entirety of Seoul for you but you’ve just been in a practice room?!!”

“I fell asleep! I didn’t mean to!”

“You can’t just disappear like that!” Jae continues to scold her. “You’ve got so many people worried over nothing and- shit.”

Jae turns away from Lily and covers his eyes.

“Are you-,” Lily steps around him to look at his face, “Are you crying?”

“No,” he says firmly.

“I think you are.”

He glares at her, “I’m still mad at you.”

She steps back with her hands raised, “My bad.”

He sighs, “Alright. Let’s get you home.”

“Okay,” Lily agrees softly.

She lets Jae lead her down the hall, coughing into her elbow before entering the elevator. Jae already has his phone out, texting his members to stop their search because he’s found her.

“Are you sick?” he asks.

“I just think I need some water,” she says.

“You should take some medicine when you get home, just in case.”

“Aw, you do care about me. The only tsundere I know is Jae Park.”

Jae shoves his phone into her hands, “Shut up and call Jeongyeon. You get to deal with her wrath.”

Lily looks at Jeongyeon’s contact that has been pulled up on Jae’s phone and gulps.

MOKI ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ — momo x suki

❝ sometimes i forget that you’re japanese too... ❞

Momo and Suki met as trainees through Sana, but they didn’t become close until after their debut. They’re very soft together and love skinship - because of this, Momo often wants Suki’s attention.

Even though Suki is younger, Momo has mentioned that she’s like an older sister to her at times because of how much she would baby her and protect her.

Whenever Momo feels insecure about something, Suki will immediately reassure her about it. These two are always helping each other out, especially when it comes to singing and dancing.

✧ 모키 : JUST MOKI THINGS!

Late night trips to the convenience store!

The first time Suki ever spoke in Japanese to Momo, Momo was absolutely shook. Even now she’ll still get surprised by her Japanese sometimes.

When Momo has to take Boo and Dobby out for a walk, sometimes Suki would join her and then they’d go on a little adventure together!

Momo is Suki's taste tester whenever she cooks or bakes something new.

Suki loves to hype up and stream Momo's fancams every comeback.

SAKI（≧∇≦）— sana x suki

❝ are you sure you can handle me, ki-chan? ❞

Sana and Suki have been very close ever since they were trainees. Whenever they hung out together back then, Bang Chan was usually with them too.

Being the only extroverts in TWICE, these two get along very well and almost always understand each other’s intentions. The time they spend together is never boring because of how comfortable they are with each other - they’re very loud, playful, and clingy.

Despite their constant jokes and teasing, they deeply care about each other. If one of them is feeling down, the other is always there to make her smile again and knows just what to do to cheer her up.

✧ 사키 : JUST SAKI THINGS!

TWICE’s happy viruses! They always lift the mood because of their energy and their ability to make people smile.

Boba dates!

Sana’s hugs and cuddles are one of Suki’s weaknesses.

Suki despises aegyo, but when she’s with Sana, she will unintentionally do it sometimes; which she absolutely regrets because Sana will endlessly tease her about it, saying how her cuteness is rubbing off on her.

Sana is always helping Suki improve her Japanese and finds it really cute whenever she makes mistakes.

MIKI (⌒▽⌒) — mina x suki

❝ will you be my player two? ❞

Mina and Suki also met through Sana when they were trainees, but they didn't become close until after their debut. They were hesitant to talk to each other at first because of how different they seemed from each other, but that quickly changed after learning that they shared many interests and similarities.

These two are very sweet to each other and have a very chill relationship. They enjoy being around each other even if it’s silent and they’re not doing anything.

If there’s anyone who can get Mina to talk more, it’s Suki - sometimes she can really bring out Mina’s confident and dorky sides and she loves it. Mina is also the unnie that Suki listens to the most.

✧ 미키 : JUST MIKI THINGS!

Mina is really comfortable speaking in English to Suki - at first she wasn’t, but because Suki would always just talk to her in English, she eventually became confident in using it with her.

They often share their clothes with each other.

If Suki were to date a TWICE member, she said that she would date Mina.

They have matching Disney rings because of their ship name.

Playing video games together on their days off!

pop!

> jina pays nayeon a visit to show support for her solo debut.

the time on jina's phone showed that it was well past one in the morning when she reached the filming studio, where nayeon had spent the entire day recording the music video for 'pop!', the title track of her upcoming solo debut. the korean-japanese girl herself had had a busy day, packed with schedules, but although she had completed the last thing she needed to do about an hour ago, she had yet to go home. no, not when she knew her oldest unnie was still at work alone.

she crept up the stairs that led to the older's dressing room, looking over her shoulder at the manager following behind her, who was holding a video camera to film her, while putting a finger to her lips as a way to ask the woman to be quiet. she paused at the top of the staircase, lowering herself a little to stay out of sight from the people in the dressing room.

“it was nice of momo and chaeyoung to stop by so late earlier,” one of the staff members in the room said. “jina is the only one who hasn't come to see me.” jina could hear nayeon speaking in a slight whiny voice. although she couldn't see nayeon yet, jina could just imagine the pout her unnie was currently wearing, and the thought made her silently giggle. “well, she was really busy today, so it's understandable...but still, i miss her. i wonder if she's home yet...”

facing the video camera, jina placed her hands over her heart to convey that she felt touched. she gestured to the manager to follow her, before she continued making her way to the dressing room, poking her head in to make her presence known. nayeon whipped her head around to the door when she spotted movement in the corner of her eyes, and jina could see the way the older's face lit up with joyful surprise upon realizing that it was her.

“pups!” nayeon called out in a high-pitched voice, getting up from the chair she was previously sitting on to approach jina with her arms open wide. happily, jina met her halfway, the two embracing in a tight hug. “unnie, how are you? has filming been going well? you must be really tired.”

nayeon pulled away from the hug to grin at jina, the latter smiling affectionately when she saw the former's bunny teeth. “i'm feeling much better now that you're here. we're almost done, just one scene left for today,” nayeon told her. “it's already so late, aren't you going home?”

“i wanted to visit you first,” jina answered. “and i figured i might as well wait for you to finish up, so we can go home together.”

nayeon's jaw dropped a bit hearing this, a look of shock in her eyes. “are you kidding? this could still take hours! you don't have to wait up, really.” concern was evident in her tone of voice, but jina simply shrugged. she had the whole day off tomorrow anyway, so she had no problem staying up just a little longer to accompany nayeon. “i don't mind, unnie. i want to do this,” she reassured the older, who pouted and pulled her in for another hug.

“why are you being so sweet like this, pups?” nayeon whined, making jina chuckle in amusement.

.

.

.

sitting on a plastic chair, jina watched from behind the camera as nayeon shot the last scene scheduled to be filmed for the day. it had already been a couple of hours since jina had first arrived, but she still wasn't sure if nayeon was close to finishing yet. nevertheless, she stayed seated there and waited, stretching her back out from time to time and occasionally giving nayeon a thumbs up or two in between takes, just to give her the strength for the last push. finally, the director announced the final take, and jina visibly perked up—at the moment, she wanted nothing more than for nayeon and herself to go home and finally get some much-needed and well-deserved rest.

once the camera stopped rolling after the last take, jina stood up and joined in on the applause to end the day, bowing to and thanking the staff members present. she walked up to nayeon who slumped her shoulders in exhaustion upon seeing her. "i wanna go home," she murmured, leaning forward against jina. “we are, don't worry,” jina told her while smiling softly and rubbing her back soothingly. “you did so great today, unnie.”

with nayeon out of her costume and allowed to leave, she dramatically trudged towards the car with an arm draped over jina's shoulders. although she truly was exhausted, she couldn't help but exaggerate her fatigue so jina would have to drag her, just to annoy the maknae a little. jina rolled her eyes playfully, knowing what nayeon was doing—it was evident in the smile she was failing miserably to hide—but she stayed quiet until they were finally in the car.

“gosh, what a day,” nayeon sighed out as she slumped back into the car seat, turning her head just enough to look at jina next to her. “thank you for staying,” she whispered.

“of course, unnie.” jina's voice was as soft as the smile she wore while she gazed at nayeon. “i'm always with you, even when you're soloist nayeon instead of twice nayeon.” she grinned at her own words, a rather cheeky one at that, while nayeon could only let out an amused scoff.

nayeon's journey as a soloist was just beginning, but jina swore that she, just like the rest of twice, will be there for her every step of the way.

as promised, a little something before the comeback. this is also kinda a way to say goodbye to im nayeon/pop era. you served us well, but now it's time for talk that that
