i havent ur blogs in so long that i came back to find out JIHO IS DEAD???????????????????????????????? WHAT DID I MISS OUT ON ? ??????????? PLS IM SOBBING I NEVER GOT ATTACHED TO A CHARACTER THIS MUCH WUAHKAHTGIUAEHUIAJE

🥺 yeah I can imagine coming back after a while to see that post isn't pleasant 😅

tbf tho (i think I've dodged this question in a few ways but) I never flat out said she was dead 😬 if that offers you any consolation... You can interpret that post/ending any way you want 😶

[nctsjiho]

i just read multifandom's sneak peak post and was reminded of jiho. she mentioned jonghyun and i realised that jiho's dead was on the same day as jonghyun's! was therea reason for choosing thar date specifically? or just coincidence?

While I was writing that post I did realise midway that, yes, this is happening on the same date that Jonghyun passed, but it wasn't my intention. The 18th of December is JiHo's birthday. I wanted something the happen on her birthday and with the way I was building up the plot, that's just how that happened.

The 18th as a date is just significant to me (tho not necessarily important) in general. In music, a lot of my biases in groups have birthdays on the 18th as well as my own birthday being on the 18th. That's why I wanted JiHo's birthday to be on the 18th as well.

The whole event happening on her birthday was just a stylistic(?) choice, that has nothing to do with Jonghyun, but you can attach a poetic though tragic meaning to it if you wish. However, as not to upset Shinee fans, I didn't mean anything harmful or disrespectful towards Jonghyun.

(random comeback on this blog?? idk. I'm open to answering questions publicly again, so if u have any I'm here, I think😅 idk if there's much to discuss, but if anything comes to mind, I'll try to answer ur questions)

[nctsjiho]

are u going to stop writing for jiho?!?

this was asked before the other similar ask got posted on my blog (it's now up, posted simultaneously with this one), but yeah possibly...

for those who are not happy with that answer or are not willing to wait to see what happens (and I totally understand that and am not forcing anyone to wait at all) thank you so much for reading my fics till this point 🤍 thank u for making this blog a fun experience for me as well 🤍💚🤍

[nctsjiho]

Hi, bestie! I hope you are doing well 🥰 but did Jiho herself dislike any of the members (such as during SMROOKIES and when SME formed the group), and who would they be and why?

Hi love <3 first of all I want to apologise for taking so long to answer this question. At first I read it wrong and thought this was about the new SMRookies, which is why I wanted to wait until answering it, but now I realised I was wrong sfkljsdf I'll answer it now tho!

JiHo generally didn't dislike any members because if people aren't worth her time she wouldn't worry bothering about them. However, there were a few iffy situations/relationships between her and some members.

Ten: I've written a whole fic about this before, but yeah those two didn't get along well at the start. They had a little misunderstanding where they both thought the other didn't like them, but luckily they got to clear it up quickly.

Haechan: Honestly didn't dislike Haechan at all, but she could feel how awkward he was when she was around. She probably had the hardest time getting close to him, but she never pushed it (or him) and let their relationship grown naturally. She always wondered why he was so awkward around her though, which caused her to take a bit more distance from him than she would from the others.

Winwin: Like with Haechan she could feel Winwin's feelings towards her. She knew he didn't like her, but never really let it affect her. At first she held a bit of resentment at the fact that he disliked her for seemingly no reason, but never disliked Winwin as a person. He must have his reasons is what JiHo always thought.

Renjun & Yangyang: Oddly enough they are on the list haha. Even more odd if you know that they are like actual brothers to her. They annoy her and tease her and get into fights with her... At first she just thought Renjun and Yangyang's personalities were too strong and too much respectively. She thought Renjun was too cold and headstrong while Yangyang was insanely energetic and too much like the annoying little brother type around the WayV members. It's weird because later on JiHo realised it wasn't "too much" and she actually started liking those traits about them. She just clashed with them at first and didn't realise all their personalities were very complementary (and even similar). She never made her "dislike" (if you want to call it that) visible and actually got used to them pretty quickly.

This is going back to the ask u got about the new font or how others can't read ur posts bc of the color👀👀 i use the dark mode for Tumblr so this is how I saw some of ur posts. I hope this helps!😌

little question, is this a reblog or the original? Normally the problem should be solved already😭 If it's a reblog I can't do anything about it. Reading the original or clicking on read more should fix it, but I notice in this pic that the post is already past where I put the 'read more' button, so now i'm confused TT

[nctsjiho]

read your latest writing on jiho and i think i heard my heart cracked.

😢 im sorry <3

[nctsjiho]

wdym end of an era??? there wont be any update from jiho anymore??? :(

possibly🤐 ig that's something you and I both have to wait for and see...

[nctsjiho]

wait so does that mean u wont write anymore

I'm not planning to ever stop writing because it's something I genuinely enjoy and want to get better at

[nctsjiho]

What if Jiho left SM and NCT all together then filing a lawsuit against SM? How would the boys reacties to the news?

anon bringing the angst. I'm adding this to my imagine "series" (just for ease in the masterlist) first paragraphs are just setting the mood, starting the bold names is where the reaction actually starts ^^

cw: strong langue, angst

The second the news comes out the boys are all shocked. It's the type of situation where JiHo would be so emotional and scared for the boys reaction that she didn't tell them about it prior to actually leaving and filing the lawsuit.

"From now on, you won't be promoting with JiHo anymore," one of the managers say and for some reason it just doesn't click with the boys yet.

"What do you mean? JiHo's just sick, right? She will join us when she feels better," Yuta explains in a matter-of-fact way.

The boys aren't dumb though. When JiHo told them not to come by her apartment since she was really sick — with the emphasis on being contagious — the boys just agreed. When JiHo stopped replying to the group chat and ignored the boys' calls, they just shrugged it off as JiHo not feeling too well. They were all suspicious of the situation though, but too scared to face the reality and rather stay silent while giving everything the benefit of the doubt. It was all too coincidental though, everything happened while she was renegotiating her contract.

The manager's lack of an response was enough for the boys to realise the truth, but coming to terms with it wasn't in the cards for the moment.

"NCT's female member, Lim Jiho, leaves SM and the group and files lawsuit against the company" "JiHo to return to her home country, France, after filing lawsuit against now former company SM for violation of contract" "SM entertainment loses one of their best idols: Could we have seen this coming?" "Lim Jiho's father: 'my daughter didn't care about the money that they never paid her, she just wanted to perform with her friends but they stole that from her as well'" "All you need to know about the Lim Jiho vs SM lawsuit" "JiHo reunites with family + Did JiHo abandon NCT?"

Taeyong has always had the most knowledge about the tension between SM and JiHo — although still limited — so he'd be the most frustrated, believing he could have done something. Maybe talk things through with JiHo before she made any rash decisions, but deep down he knows that this was probably the only thing she had left. Before reaching out to JiHo he'd immediately step to a manager or even someone higher up to ask about the situation.

"I failed as a leader. JiHo was struggling and I couldn't help her—" "Don't blame yourself, it wasn't an easy decision on her part, but I know she thought this through," the manager tried to reassure him. "You're right. I'm sure she did what was best for her. I hope she'll be happier now."

Taeil, Sungchan, Xiaojun and Winwin would be in the "shocked but don't know what to do" phase. JiHo's friends with everyone, but those boys think they didn't have a place to say anything about it. They would try their hardest to go on with their lives without letting the news get to them, but it would still affect them negatively even if it isn't on a level as high as the other boys.

"Hey are you okay?" The boy would ask one of his other member's who was visibly struggling by the events of one of their members leaving. When said member shakes their head and starts crying, they can't help but feel tears well up in their eyes as they awkwardly pat their member on the back to comfort them even just a little.

Johnny, Kun, Ten, Yuta, Jeno, Renjun and Jaehyun would be pissed. Trying to get to the bottom of everything by going to the managers AND reaching out to JiHo. They won't take no as an answer (angry older brother squad) and hang on to the hope that their hard approach could get JiHo back. Out of the boys, Yuta would eventually break under the pressure and get really emotional because he will always see JiHo as his younger sister and feel like he failed to be there for her.

"It wasn't a rash decision—" the staff tries to explain for the nth time. "Then why didn't she tell us about it? It's your fault JiHo left! She wouldn't just leave like that, so explain! I won't leave until I understand why she left!"

Jungwoo and Jisung: emotional wrecks. JiHo is their support system, their rock, their comfort and now she just ups-and-leaves so unexpectedly. It would take the longest for them to get over it. The type of members who would still have a hard time if her name gets mentioned after a year of her leaving (probably longer if the lawsuit is public and takes a long time to get settled). They are the members you can NOT mention JiHo's name to during fansigns or interviews because they WILL choke up.

"Don't leave! Whatever is going on we'll help you through it. We can find another way to settle it so you don't have to leave. I'll even give you my own money if that is what this is about! But whatever you do, please don't leave us," he pleads, sitting on his knees before the girl with his hands clasped in front of his face; tears running down his cheeks and beading up in big drops before they fall down his chin and soak his jeans.

Doyoung is a mixture of team "pissed af" and team "emotional wreck". He just wouldn't understand why this was happening. Why didn't JiHo just talk to him? Didn't she trust him? After all those years together she still couldn't confide in him and probably had to go through everything alone. That though alone was enough to make Doyoung angry at everyone and anything. And at the end of the day he'd be crying against Johnny's shoulder, blaming himself for being a bad friend. + also the person you probably shouldn't bring JiHo up with after the fact for a while, because he'd get emotional over her as well but will also fight anyone if they are being disrespectful about her.

"How the fuck did you mess up so bad that she left?" Doyoung asks, slamming his hand down on the desk in front of the staff. "It was ultimately JiHo's choice to leave. We tried to compromise—" "Maybe if you wouldn't have treated her like shit for all these years it wouldn't have gotten this far!" Even if he tried to stay strong, angry tears filled his reddening eyes as he sends deadly stares to the staff.

Haechan and Jaemin are the boys who would try to reach out to JiHo and coax her into coming back despite that there was no real chance of that happening. They'd be affected for sure and very emotional about the situation but they are also hopeful. If they'd cry — which they would — it would be in the comfort of their own rooms or only when they were with a limited amount of their members or family.

"JiHo isn't there any way you could come back?" he asks. "I've been gone for almost a year now, you're doing fine without me," JiHo's voice sounds tired from the other side of the call. It's the same words she had been telling him for months now. He softly laughs, trying to ease the mood. He knows the answer, but each time he hears it it still hurts. "I would be doing better if you were here though," he tries to sound playful — it works, JiHo smiles at his words. One day, he hopes she'd tell him she could come back.

Mark and Hendery. They are so lost when they hear the news. Their hearts drop and they feel like they're continuously falling and trying to hold on, but there's nothing in reach to grasp onto. They'd be the ones to just ask their members for updates on everything. They would avoid talking about her during interviews and fan meetings and eventually they would lose contact with JiHo altogether. It's not that they've moved on though, there's just this weird empty void they haven't come to terms with and so they just can't push themselves to talk to the girl.

"JiHo got a new dog!" Chenle excitedly tells the boys holding out his phone to show the others who ask to see the new pet. Mark and Hendery sit to the side nodding slowly although not coming closer to check what the fuss is all about. They just try to keep themselves busy and the other boys don't force them to join them, knowing the two always feel their heart clench just by the mention of the ex-member's name.

Chenle, Shotaro and Yangyang would just kind of accept it. Of course when they hear the news it's a little hard to grasp, but sooner rather than later they would accept it. They would support JiHo in her decision and would also stay in regular contact with the girl. Maybe less then some other boys but that's because they don't want her to think they are only calling to push her into coming back.

"Hey, JiHo! Want to play CS:GO with us?" JiHo laughs as she hears the boys ask her to join the game as soon as she enters the discord call. "Sure," she smiles starting up her game. "When are we playing Valorant again though?" "Ugh! You never change do you? We've played Valo last week!" Chenle complains, also telling her and Yangyang to hurry up. "Oh! We've also finished recording our latest album, want to listen to it later?" "Am I the first one to listen to it?" She asks and when Shotaro says yes she agrees to Chenle's request.

Hi, I'm not sure if your requests are open. I was wondering if could do Jiho doing pole dances with Johnny for JCC. How would Doyoung and the rest of NCT react?

hi anonie! requests are pretty much always open although I never really mention it anywhere ^^ I didn't exactly know how to format this so it'll be a mix of a writing + a reaction post. I hope u enjoy it and thanks for the request, love <3

Today is pole dancing!🕺🏼✨ | Johnny’s Communication Center (JCC) Ep.31

“Hey, guys, welcome to another episode of JCC,” Johnny greets the camera. “Today, we're here to experience a new thing, with this pole and,” he drags out the last word before turning the camera to JiHo, who's standing behind him. “I’m also babysitting this weirdo today.”

Johnny laughs as JiHo gives him an offended look; her features twisting in an almost unflattering maner. “I can leave if you want me to,” she offers and all that the older one can do is laugh louder. JiHo then faces the camera, holding it steady so it can focus on her face, “oppa is just scared that I’ll be better than him and embarrass him.”

“Yeah no,” Johnny points the camera at his face again, “that’s the last thing I’m worried about.”

The two members then meet the instructor and she gives a little intro of the class as well as teaching both of them how to climb the pole. Johnny goes first and JiHo watches him carefully with an impressed look. “Wow, you’re doing so good,” she compliments along with the teacher. Soon enough it is her turn.

“Have you ever done this before?” the teacher asks and JiHo shakes her head from side to side. “You seem like you’ll do great though,” she says as she helps the idol with her grips. “I’ve seen your videos, you seem like a great athlete.”

“Athlete?” JiHo chuckles sheepishly at the compliment. “I don’t know about that.”

However, JiHo seems to contradict herself quite quickly as she easily hoists herself up on the pole with great technique. Johnny and the teacher are a bit baffled at first, but Johnny quickly adds, “I don’t think there’s anything JiHo’s bad at so this shouldn’t surprise me that much.” He laughs as he says this and JiHo just shakes her head in embarrassment.

“Well, then let’s make it a bit harder today, since you are both doing so well,” the teacher comments, making the two idols look at each other in shock.

“If I walk away with bruises today, it’s your fault,” Johnny whispers at JiHo threateningly, but of course he’s just playing around. The teacher grins amused before they continue on.

The two idols continue their lesson, having a lot of fun in the process. JiHo continuously spurs the teacher on to make things more difficult for Johnny, laughing whenever Johnny gets tired or is in (non-serious) pain. On the other hand, both Johnny and the teacher have fun when challenging JiHo’s flexibility and core strength. They chuckle whenever JiHo’s twisted in upside-down positions, while she complains about her muscles twitching or her hands giving out — but besides that she does amazing.

“I'm tired,” JiHo sighs exaggeratedly, perching herself against the wall. “Teacher, you really enjoyed making us suffer right?”

The teacher laughs but doesn’t deny the statement, causing the other to laugh as well. “You both did amazing today! I’m really impressed.”

“Who was better?” Johnny asks with a playful glint and JiHo quickly stands up at the sound of the question. “The loser buys the other one dinner?” He asks JiHo and she smirks.

“Well, prepare to buy me dinner at that fancy Italian place I like,” she retaliates but Johnny snorts in amusement.

“You wish.” He turns back to the teacher. “So who is it?”

The teacher thinks about it for a second before giving her answer. “JiHo looked a bit more stable and effortless—”

“HAH!” JiHo cheers pointing at Johnny.

“BUT!” Quickly, JiHo’s smile falls as the teacher speaks again. A grin starts forming on Johnny’s lips. “Although he complained a bit, Johnny did do a few more advanced positions and he tried his hardest. So I think Johnny wins, but I do think you, JiHo, could do better than him.”

JiHo purses her lips in a mixture of shame and defeat while Johnny laughs and cheers proudly. “You heard that! Dinner’s on you!” The older points at JiHo playfully — almost childishly — as he celebrates his victory.

The two then thank the teacher before finishing off the video. “Thank you oppa, for inviting me today. I had a lot of fun, and it’s been a little while since we tried a new sport together. We actually used to do it more often, but we got a bit busy.” Johnny nods along to JiHo’s words. “Also thank you JOHFAM for having me, I guess,” JiHo giggled, earning a dad-smile from her older friend. “I hope you enjoyed the video and happy new year!”

“Bye, bye JOHFAM, peace!” Johnny waves.

The boys’ reaction (only NCT 127):

Doyoung was shocked at first, not knowing JiHo and Johnny had planned to film the content together. But as he watched the video his initial shock definitely subsided immensely. Of course he felt a bit unsure about JiHo doing such a sport out of all of them, worried about how some people watching it might sexualise JiHo. She showed a very different more feminine side of herself, and with her wearing only shorts and a cropped tank top, it seemed like a valid worry. But he also knew most people are decent human beings and wouldn’t think like that. Doyoung would definitely be impressed by JiHo’s abilities though and he also enjoyed seeing the banter between his two friends.

“You guys seemed to have a lot of fun during that JCC video,” Doyoung casually brought up and immediately Johnny and JiHo shared a playful glint. “What?” “Are you jealous you weren’t invited?” JiHo smirked, earning a scowl from the boy. “No that isn’t it, he’s just being a protective brother,” Johnny said smugly and Doyoung immediately denied it. “Sure, let’s act like I haven’t seen you report those comments about JiHo on the video.” “What comments?” JiHo asked, innocently. Both boys didn’t answer her question though, as Doyoung glared at Johnny who seemed to enjoy it with a smirk on his lips.

Taeil, Jungwoo, Jaehyun and Yuta are 100% cheering JiHo on. They make playful comments about JiHo being all grown up and doing more “sexy” things, but it’s all in good fun (and to mess with Doyoung and Taeyong a bit). JiHo has done more sexy concepts with NCT than this video, since the pole dancing was more just impressive things and a showcase of her strength and flexibility. So they think that any concern about the video is useless.

“Our little girl is all grown up!” he yelled out causing JiHo to roll her eyes. “I can’t believe she’s gone pole dancing. You haven’t signed up for regular classes, have you?” “Oppa stop, can we not talk about this while having dinner?” she asked with a small smile, knowing that the boy was just joking around. “If you did though, I don’t think Czennie would mind,” he added quickly with a smirk.

Taeyong was way more nervous about the video than he wants/tries to let on. Of course he doesn’t have a problem with JiHo pole dancing and he also thought it was impressive and cool, but like Doyoung he was very concerned about the reaction. He was a bit too focused on fans’ thoughts and it showed. Spending a few hours just reading reactions, and getting angry when he found that one-in-a-thousand comment mentioning JiHo’s body or something inappropriate.

“Stop looking at the comments,” Johnny laughed as soon as he saw Taeyong scroll down the comments of the video again. “I just need to make sure people aren’t saying—” “People will say stuff regardless,” Johnny closed the YouTube tab on Taeyong’s pc. “Ignore it,” he told the leader, who had become a pouty mess but nodded.

Mark and Haechan are a bit flustered when they see the video on their feed for the first time. They are wary going into it, but as they watch it they are very impressed, again reminded that JiHo is indeed very strong and athletic (and also really pretty even while doing sports). They both don’t say much after having watched the video, but when it’s brought up they do show how proud and impressed they were (but like… lowkey).

“Have you seen the video with Johnny and JiHo?” He nodded as he was asked the question. “Yeah, Johnny hyung and JiHo are really good at different sports. I couldn’t do anything like that haha,” he chuckled a bit awkwardly, not knowing how to react.

S/N: I would've done all of NCT's reactions, but since I did combine it with the writing of the episode, I didn't want to make this too long. I hope that's fine <3

masterlists: main masterlist || jiho.writings masterlist

[nctsjiho]

Hi, are you taking requests. What would NCT reaction be for all the times Jiho spoke French. Like when she's frustrated or communicating with family and maybe when NCT was Paris.

thx for the request anonie <3 I hope u enjoy it

NCT 127 went to France in 2019, just a little over a year after JiHo’s debut. However, the confidence she exuded during their short stay came to a bit of a surprise to the boys. Especially when JiHo spoke to one of the waiters at a restaurant to complain about them giving Jungwoo the wrong dish. Despite not understanding a word of what JiHo was saying and being a bit anxious about the back and forth between her and the waiter, the boys were deeply impressed by their youngest member. Jungwoo would even say he was a bit swooned by JiHo’s impressive gesture and would bring it up for quite a while after the fact. He’d also call JiHo “noona” jokingly, saying that he felt well taken care of by her.

Ten, Chenle, Yangyang, Johnny and Jaehyun’s favourite thing is when JiHo gets annoyed — at something really trivial — and starts mumbling under her breath in French. Or whenever someone says or does something “dumb” and she speaks on it sarcastically in her mother-tongue. They most definitely have multiple videos of JiHo cursing in French or just exclaiming in annoyance and it’s both a serotonin boost as well as a way to tease JiHo. Chenle and Yangyang (and sometimes Johnny) would sometimes purposely annoy JiHo in a game by playing badly or getting in her way so that she would get annoyed and yell at them in French. They never take it to heart though and it’s very hard for them to even get JiHo that upset or annoyed, but whenever it happens it does entertain them quite a lot.

Poor Kun, Jaemin and Taeyong have all been the receiver of JiHo’s nonsensical French rants. It happened when JiHo had a particularly tiring day, where everything seemed to go wrong. She’d come to the boys for comfort — or they just happened to be there — and JiHo started to rant about her stressful day, not realising she was talking in French. Even when the boys stared at her wide-eyed and confused as she asked for confirmation over her feelings multiple times — again in French. It’s only when she finished her rant and the boys told her they had absolutely no clue what she just told them, but hoped that her clearing her heart helped her, that JiHo would pout at them dramatically. She’d sigh, but thank them for listening to her regardless, promising she’d buy them their favourite drink or snack later.

Haechan and Renjun have absolutely NO clue what JiHo’s talking about with her friends on facetime as they sit in silence in a corner in her room. JiHo has told them multiple times that they shouldn’t come over during the hours she would talk to her friends and family, because she knew the boys wouldn’t be able to join the conversation and would feel left out. But what she didn’t know was that both Renjun and Haechan just enjoyed the sound of her voice when she spoke in French. Her voice sounds more soft and is lower than when she speaks Korean, and it’s the perfect sound to use as background noise while scrolling through social media, or playing a video game (in Haechan’s case). When JiHo realised they still came over after countless warnings, she started mentioning their names during conversation just to tease them. At first they would whine and ask her what she was saying about them, but soon they’d realise it was just to get under their skin and would start to ignore it.

Yuta is an absolute menace. Every interview or schedule they have, whenever the opportunity arises (or even when it doesn’t); Yuta will find a way to have JiHo speak in French. More than loving it himself, he knows that the fans absolutely go nuts when JiHo speaks in French, so he tries to get her to say something.

Jisung, Xiaojun, Shotaro and Hendery are always genuinely in awe when those very foreign words leave her lips. They’d ask JiHo to say certain things in French. It’s not because they feel a particular way about the language, or that they want to learn something new, but they are just amazed by how effortlessly the sounds flow out of her mouth. In a way it sounds very romantic and soft in contrast to her speaking in asian languages. They just like the sound of it a lot.

Thank God for these sweethearts though. Sungchan, Mark and Winwin think it’s impressive when JiHo speaks French (despite it literally being her first language) but they actually love learning things from her. Sungchan in particular loves learning different sentences or things about French culture from JiHo. Mark would every once in a while ask what a certain word is in French. For example when they are eating something he’d ask what it is in French and then repeat the same word at least a hundred times that day. As for Winwin, his curiosity isn’t long term. He’ll forget the word or sentence JiHo taught him after a couple hours, but he still likes learning the most random things because it’s a fun activity between him and the girl.

Jeno feels his cheeks heat up and his famous eye smile appears whenever JiHo says something in French to him. He had picked up on certain words JiHo told him over and over again and looked up the meaning of them. When he did he was surprised when the words were mostly compliments. Of course JiHo does this on purpose to get Jeno flustered, but that doesn’t mean her words aren’t genuine. Despite the boy getting visually flustered, he now prefers JiHo complimenting him in French because the other boys don’t know what she’s telling him. Only he knows (.◜◡◝)

Doyoung was the first to hear JiHo speak French out of all the boys and it wasn’t as pretty and magical as fans make it out to be today. It happened a few months after she arrived at SM and she got a call from her parents saying they wouldn’t be visiting her for her birthday. It was a pretty emotional ordeal and it broke Doyoung’s heart to hear JiHo’s voice crack as she argued with her mother. He couldn’t understand most of what she was saying, but it was clear in her body language and the way she sounded that she wasn’t happy — the few Korean words she exchanged with her mother were enough for Doyoung to figure out the big picture. He never told JiHo that he heard her that day, and also never told her that that was the day Doyoung decided he wanted to be like an older brother to her. Like a second family, but closer to her. So now, every time JiHo speaks French, even if it sounds cool, he can’t help but be reminded of that phone call.

S/N: I'll work on the other requests in my ask box this coming week, but I won't be posting each day as to not spam people. So if u have made a request (now or at any time + in the future) I'll always answer or post a full post to them even if it's not the same day. Thx for your understanding ^^

masterlists: main masterlist || jiho.writings masterlist

[nctsjiho]

Although I'm sure many members where happy about Jiho joining, where there any members that did not like the idea of Jiho joining? Whether it's that they didn't think she would fit, get along or maybe they were scared for her? Anyways you're an amazing reader and I hope you have a great day :)

There were actually quite a few members who felt apprehensive on JiHo joining.

(I won't be mentioning all the members)

Doyoung & Johnny: More scared about the public's reception of JiHo joining the group. They knew JiHo would fit into the group well since her personality really fit the members'. And if she were to clash with some of the guys, they were ready to stand by her side and make sure she'd get along with everyone at the end.

Taeyong: The most scared that the members would not get along with JiHo. Especially the younger members. As the leader Taeyong was also naturally anxious for any kind of negativity towards the group because of her joining, but he mostly wanted his members to be comfortable—of which JiHo would soon thereafter also be one.

Renjun & Jaemin: They never disliked JiHo, but when she was announced to join NCT they were... confused? They couldn't explain why, but they just didn't like the idea very much. However, that quickly turned around when she started training with the other NCT members and trainees and they realised she'd fit in just fine. -> Now they'd fight anyone who says she doesn't fit in the group 👀

Haechan: Used to be awkward with JiHo and was scared that if she'd join they'd become even more awkward. He was scared his relationship with JiHo would negatively impact the group internally or externally.

Chenle: Super shocked at first. He just couldn't wrap his head around the idea of a girl joining NCT. However as he would catch JiHo during her practises with other NCT trainees, members or solo, his worries quickly washed away and he became very excited for her debut.

Jungwoo: Wasn't actually apprehensive at all. He was too busy leaning on her for help during practise. They used to train together for their debuts. She didn't only help him with dancing, but also helped him lower his stress levels and keep him assured he was worth being an NCT member. So Jungwoo was pretty much counting on JiHo to be a member of NCT and didn't even think of the implications.

Mark: Not gonna lie, Mark didn't want JiHo to debut in NCT. Like Renjun and Jaemin he couldn't explain why he thought this way. In his mind the picture just didn't look right. He never had anything against JiHo though and he actually really liked her👀. But still, he just didn't think it would be right. He somewhat quickly changed his mind as they started preparing for the album together though. He was likely just scared for her (which is the case, but he doesn't realise that), but it still stands, Mark didn't want her to be in NCT at first.

Winwin: Probably one of the only members who genuinely didn't like JiHo at first. He didn't care for her, but when talks about her debuting in NCT happened he started disliking her. He didn't want to accept that JiHo wasn't a bad person for a long time which caused them to be rather awkward at first. As time went by and they started to have practises together, his dislike towards the girl faded but left troubling amounts of awkwardness in it's wake. The awkwardness only faded after their promotions for Touch ended, and afterwards they started growing a lot more comfortable to each other.

Thanks for your question! I hope you have a great day as well <3
