literally a full circle moment bc when KPDH dropped I straight up REFUSED to watch it — like first of all the title?? not giving. second of all?? I did NOT like kpop. at. all. no shade but I just didn’t get the hype over korean culture or boy groups.
and YET… here I am. watched it. got obsessed. (we know this already lol). BUT bc I got sucked into the KPDH hellhole I also accidentally stumbled into stray kids fandom… went from “who are these men” to “yes that’s han jisung my emotional support squirrel” in under 48 hours.

SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN 2.0
Baby Saja x Fem! Reader
Zoey—your unstoppable, loud, and utterly charming friend from Huntrix—had dragged you to an after-party at the Saja Boys’ penthouse. You had first agreed to go as her plus-one to the awards ceremony, since you were visiting from the U.S. for a couple of weeks, and honestly, you were beyond thrilled that she had invited you.
You spent the whole awards show with her, clapping enthusiastically as she and the girls celebrated their wins. Zoey introduced you to so many people—her bandmates, other artists, and even the rival group she laughed about, mentioning that her boyfriend was part of the Saja Boys. You had heard of them before—who hadn’t?—and though you’d never admit it aloud, their single had been stuck in your head for weeks.
When they finally introduced you to the boys, they greeted you with excitement and warmth. Apparently, Zoey never stopped talking about her childhood friend from America, the one she was constantly messaging or calling whenever she had free time. You felt incredibly at ease, so when Zoey suggested heading over to the Saja Boys’ penthouse for an after-party, you couldn’t say no.
Apparently, it was a usual thing for both groups to gather after events like this—to talk, laugh, and have dinner together.
So there you were, in the living room of the penthouse, holding a drink that was already starting to make you gigglier than usual. You were laughing uncontrollably at something Abby had just said.
“—and then he actually tried to convince me that glitter glue counts as a serious art supply!” Abby exclaimed, and you almost snorted out your drink.
Everyone joined in the conversation, even the usually quiet Mystery, who dropped little comments here and there that made everyone laugh.
“Wait, you’re telling me you used glitter glue?” Mystery asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes! And don’t even think about judging me!” Abby shot back with mock indignation.
You laughed so hard your cheeks hurt, feeling more at ease than you expected. Everyone seemed genuinely interested in having you there, enjoying your reactions and laughter—it almost felt like you belonged.
Everyone seemed comfortable with your presence, genuinely interested in getting to know you—everyone, that is, except one person. Baby.
You noticed quickly that his smile and politeness were only for the cameras. The moment he stepped into the penthouse, his frown surfaced, and he barely spoke beyond a few monosyllables here and there. He hadn’t said more than a greeting and a short, polite smile when Zoey had introduced you. At first, you didn’t think much of it—until you felt his gaze on you when you sat down on the couch.
He wasn’t looking at your face. His eyes were tracing the length of your legs. Your dress—short in the front, long in the back—shifted as you crossed your legs, the hem brushing mid-thigh. You’d be lying if you said you didn’t like the attention; his blue eyes slowly roamed your legs, but when you caught him staring, he didn’t look away like anyone else might. No, he held your gaze, silently asking, I’m watching you—what will you do about it?
When your blush betrayed you, he finally returned to his phone, as if nothing had happened.
It happened a few more times throughout the evening. You could feel his stare burning into you, but you didn’t reciprocate—you refused to blush any further.
It wasn’t until Rumi noticed that you realized you’d drifted off into your thoughts.
“Y/N, are you okay?” Rumi asked gently, tilting her head. “You’re… really red.”
All eyes turned toward you. Your hands flew to your face, trying to cool the warmth of your cheeks. You laughed nervously, brushing it off. “It’s the drink, I guess. I should go get some water.”
“No problem at all,” Romance said softly, the nearest to you. “Make yourself at home.” He gestured warmly toward the kitchen.
Before you could move, Baby stood, his voice deep and smooth, sending a shiver down your spine. “I’ll take you,” he said, tilting his head slightly. “Anyway, I need another of these myself.” He waved his glass playfully.
The depth of his voice—so different from the clipped monosyllables he’d been using—made your heart skip a beat. You swallowed hard and followed him, nerves making your steps a little unsteady.
In the kitchen, he handed you a glass of water. Your fingers brushed his as you took it, and a jolt ran through your body, your cheeks heating even more.
“Th-thank you,” you murmured, bringing the glass to your lips, trying to calm your racing heart.
He leaned casually against the counter, watching you drink. Then, with that teasing glint in his eyes, he said, “You should’ve said it was me who got you like this.”
You nearly choked on the water. “I… I don’t know what you mean,” you stammered, laughing nervously.
He stepped closer, voice dropping to a whisper meant only for you. “No point in lying when it’s obvious.”
Before you could respond, he grabbed his drink and returned to the living room, leaving you frozen for a moment. You drained the rest of your water, set the glass down, and hurried back to the couch—just in time to see him sliding back into his spot, a faint, knowing smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Your heart was still racing, your body buzzing from the brief contact. The conversation in the living room continued around you, but all you could feel was the lingering effect of his gaze and words
The conversation flowed easily, laughter echoing around the penthouse, until Zoey nudged you and suggested, “Let’s play something!”
Everyone agreed immediately, tossing out ideas and suggestions. Finally, Romance grabbed an empty bottle and set it on the floor. “How about Spin the Bottle?” he asked with a grin.
Everyone nodded, including you, and you all arranged yourselves in a circle on the floor. You ended up sitting between Jinu and Mystery, and directly across from you was Baby. You tried to ignore him, but you could feel his gaze, steady and deliberate.
Before the game began, Abby returned to the living room, holding a deck of cards in his hands. You hadn’t even noticed he had left. Confused, you looked at him, and he explained, “These cards have dares. Some silly, some… a bit more exciting.”
He finished with a mischievous smile, and Mira lightly flicked him on the back of the head as he sat down. Still, everyone accepted the challenge, curious and slightly buzzed from the drinks.
The bottle spun, landing on someone at random, and the dares began. Laughter erupted as the dares ranged from silly to daring:
Mystery had to serenade Zoey in his best dramatic opera voice.
Romance was dared to do a real lap dance to Mira
Abby had to do his best impression of a chicken for thirty seconds.
Jinu had to let someone draw on his face with a makeup pencil—he chose you, smirking as your hand wobbled.
One of the cards made Rumi do a ridiculous dance in the center of the circle, while another dared a Mira to whisper a secret to the person on their left.
You were having fun, giggling through each round, when the bottle spun again… and landed on you.
You grabbed a card from the pile, reading it aloud: “Seven minutes in heaven with someone in the room.”
You laughed nervously, placing it on the floor. “Well, too bad everyone’s in couples… I guess I’ll just have to—”
“I’m single.”
The words came from Baby, cutting through your sentence like a spark. Silence fell immediately. You blinked at him, stunned, feeling like he had just said the most shocking thing you’d ever heard.
“W-what?” you stammered weakly.
“You can come in with me.”
The circle around you murmured their approval, some laughing, some teasing, giving you no chance to protest. Zoey grabbed your arm with a playful grin, practically dragging you toward the closet by the entrance where jackets were kept. She practically tossed you inside with Baby right behind you and shut the door.
You tried to open it, but Zoey’s laughter came from the other side. “Sorry! It locks from the outside!”
“Seven minutes started now”. You could hear her footsteps fading down the hall as the two of you were left alone, your heart hammering.
Baby was already behind you when you pulled away from the door. He advanced slowly, deliberate, while you stepped back until your spine pressed against the wall. His eyes never left yours—sharp, unyielding—as if you were prey and he was the predator, ready to devour you whole.
He lifted a hand, tucking a stray lock of hair behind your ear with a surprising gentleness. But his touch didn’t stop there. His fingertip traced down the side of your cheek, lingering just long enough to make you shiver, before resting beneath your chin. With the lightest pressure, he tilted your face up, forcing your eyes to lock with his.
Maybe it was the darkness of the closet, but you could’ve sworn his irises looked darker, almost shifting color—like something dangerous lived in them.
Your chest rose and fell with uneven breaths, heat pooling deep inside you no matter how hard you tried to ignore it. You turned your face slightly, but he shook his head, closing the distance until his breath mingled with yours.
A smirk curved his lips, wicked and knowing. His voice dropped to a whisper that grazed over your skin like fire.
“Tell me, sweetheart… are you really going to sit here and play the good girl?”
Your pulse stumbled, your throat tightening as you tried to keep your composure. “I—I don’t know what you mean,” you whispered back, the words trembling.
He chuckled low in his throat, the sound vibrating against you. “You know exactly what I mean. You can keep pretending, but it doesn’t change the truth.”
And then, before you could react, his lips crashed onto yours. The kiss was savage, hungry, his hand sliding to the back of your head to pull you closer, deeper. Your fingers clutched at his shoulders for balance as the world tilted, your knees weak under the weight of him.
Time blurred. The kiss was all-consuming, stretching into what felt like forever—until you felt his hand slip lower. With deliberate slowness, he brushed against the hem of your dress, lifting the fabric just enough to toy with the edge of your underwear. His fingers traced dangerously close, skimming along your inner thigh, his touch teasing, suggestive, maddening.
A sharp gasp escaped your lips against his mouth. Baby pulled back just far enough to watch your face, his eyes blazing with satisfaction.
“You feel that?” he murmured, his tone dark and taunting. “That’s not the drink talking. That’s me.”
Before you could answer, he slid two fingers along the side of the thin fabric, grazing your warmth through it, just enough to make your breath hitch. A low laugh rumbled from his chest at your reaction, and he leaned in closer, his lips brushing your ear as he whispered something so shameless it made your whole body burn.
Then, with infuriating confidence, he pulled away. His gaze locked with yours as he brought those same fingers to his lips, tasting the trace of you with slow, deliberate satisfaction.
His smirk deepened. “Delicious,” he drawled, his voice like velvet.
You swore you could’ve come undone right there, just from the sight of it.
Before you could form a reply, Baby’s hands closed around your waist. In one sudden motion, he lifted you as if you weighed nothing, forcing your legs to wrap around his hips. A startled sound tore from your throat at the unexpected movement, but he only smiled in return. It wasn’t the dazzling smile he reserved for cameras, no—this one was mocking, irritatingly confident, the kind of smile that told you he owned you, that he was about to teach you a lesson.
“What are you doing?” you asked, your voice breaking on the edge of hysteria. You kept it low, almost a whisper, because even if you were tucked away in the closet, you knew that if you screamed, the others outside might hear every sound.
His mouth curved into something darker. “I’m going to make you feel so good,” he murmured, his tone dripping with promise, “so good that the only thing that’ll leave your pretty mouth will be gratitude.”
He doesn’t give you any chance to breathe. His lips drag down your inner thigh, slow and wet, leaving open-mouthed kisses that make your skin shiver before he finally stops right at your core. He exhales against you, and you feel the warmth of his breath spread over your folds, making you tremble even before he touches you.
“Fuck… you’re dripping for me,” he whispers with a crooked grin, spreading you apart with his thumbs to watch your slick glisten in the low light. “So fucking pretty.”
He leans in and gives you one slow, deliberate lick from your entrance all the way up to your clit, groaning as if he just tasted heaven. His tongue is broad, dragging against every fold, and the wet sound it makes has your toes curling. You gasp, fingers instinctively tangling in his hair.
He chuckles against you, then presses another lick, sharper this time, focusing on your clit, teasing it with the tip of his tongue in little flicks. “Sensitive, aren’t you? Look how you twitch just from this,” he murmurs, before sucking gently, testing how much you’ll take.
Your hips jerk, chasing more, and he growls in satisfaction. “Fuck, babe. Can’t even sit still, can you?”
Then he does it again—long, deep strokes with his tongue—before flattening it and pushing into your entrance as far as he can reach, fucking you with his mouth. The sensation is so raw and filthy you let out a strangled moan, tugging his hair harder.
When his tongue slips out, he slides one finger in without warning. The stretch makes you gasp, and he groans low at how tight you squeeze him. “So wet… so tight around just one finger. You’re begging for it without even saying a word.”
He curls that finger slowly, dragging along your inner walls until he finds the spot that makes your thighs jolt. He smirks. “Ah… there it is.” And he presses again, harder this time, rubbing that spot until your moans pitch higher.
“Baby—fuck—”
He doesn’t stop. He adds a second finger, stretching you open deliciously, and your back arches against the wall. He pumps them in and out at a steady rhythm, twisting just right each time his fingertips drag over that swollen bundle inside you.
“Listen to you,” he mutters, his voice rough with arousal, “you sound so fucking good. Every little noise—fuck, it’s all for me.”
Then he lowers his head again, mouth latching onto your clit while his fingers work deeper. He sucks hard, tongue flicking in quick circles, and the combination makes your whole body shake and moan.
“Mm, don’t hide it,” he says when he pulls back for a second, spit and slick shining on his lips. “I want to hear every sound when I ruin you.”
He plunges his fingers back in, harder now, his palm grinding against you while his mouth devours your clit again. The wet, sloppy sounds fill the cramped space, and you can barely breathe as he fucks you with his hand. Your legs tremble violently against his shoulders, your nails scraping his scalp.
Just as your orgasm builds, as your moans grow desperate, he suddenly slows down—his tongue gentler, his fingers moving but deliberately holding you on edge. You whine in frustration, clenching around him, tugging on his hair.
He looks up at you, his lips glistening, his eyes sharp and merciless. “You wanna come, pretty girl?” he drawls, curling his fingers again but not giving you enough.
“Yes—please, Baby—”
He shakes his head with a dark grin. “Not until you ask nicely. Not until you thank me for making this pussy mine.”
Your breath catches, your body aching with the need he’s building inside you. He presses harder against your g-spot, dragging his tongue in circles over your clit but keeping you hovering, keeping you trembling on the brink.
“Say it,” he commands, voice low and hot. “Say ‘thank you, Baby,’ or I’ll keep you like this all night.”
The words tumble out of you between broken moans, desperate and humiliating: “Th-thank you, Baby—please—thank you—”
He groans like the sound alone gets him off, and then he finally gives in—fingers thrusting deep, tongue sucking hard, relentless as he works you over. You break within seconds, orgasm tearing through you violently, your walls clamping down on his fingers while he devours every drop of your release.
When you collapse against the wall, trembling and breathless, he eases his fingers out—slick and shining—before sliding them into his mouth and sucking them clean. He doesn’t look away from your face once, his grin wicked and satisfied.
“Sweetest fucking thing I’ve ever tasted,” he murmurs, his voice gravelly. “Remember that next time—your pretty little cunt only gets to come when you thank me.”
When it was finally over, he lowered you gently, your legs weak and unsteady. His arm circled your waist, holding you upright, steadying you with possessive care. With his free hand, he tugged your clothes back into place with practiced ease, as if nothing had happened at all.
But then his mouth was on yours again, stealing a kiss that made you moan softly into him. You tasted yourself on his tongue, and he didn’t let you pull away, kissing you with the same intensity as before. His hand tightened on your waist, possessive, demanding, until your arms wound around his neck instinctively.
And then—the door swung open.
“Time’s up,” Zoey’s voice rang out as she peeked in. She froze mid-step, her eyes widening at the sight of you and Baby tangled together, kissing like you couldn’t breathe without it.
“I knew it,” she gasped, half-shocked, half-triumphant. “Somebody owes me money.” With that, she spun on her heel and disappeared back into the main room, muttering under her breath.
You tore yourself away from Baby, your face burning with mortification, your chest still heaving.
Baby only chuckled, unbothered, his smirk curling wickedly. “Hope you’re ready to choke on me later,” he murmured in your ear before stepping out of the closet as if nothing had happened, leaving you flushed, breathless, and hopelessly confused.

Tumblr media
Romance feels the gradual shift in your body—how your weight settles heavier against him, how your breathing deepens until it’s slow and steady. You’re asleep.
Still, he doesn’t move. He just holds you for a little longer, memorizing the warmth radiating from you, the way your frame fits into his arms like it belongs there. There’s a kind of unspoken trust in the fact that you’ve let yourself fall asleep here, in him, and he’s in no hurry to give it back.
When he’s sure you won’t stir at the slightest touch, he shifts carefully, scooping you just enough to guide you toward the bedroom. His bedroom. The thought hits him—his sheets will smell like you.
It’s almost enough to break him in a different way.
Not now, he reminds himself, shaking it off before the heat crawling up his neck gets worse.
He lays you down gently, tucking the blanket around you like it’s muscle memory. The sight of you curling tighter around his pillow makes his chest ache in a way he doesn’t have words for. He bends down and presses a kiss into your hair—quick, quiet, selfish—then slips out, closing the door behind him with deliberate care.
The living room isn’t much better. Tension clings to the air like a storm about to break.
Mistery sits beside Abby on the couch, elbows on his knees, his knuckles bone-white from the pressure of holding them together. He doesn’t look up, just stares at the floor like it’s holding answers. Abby’s leaned back against the cushions, arms crossed tightly over his chest, gaze fixed on the ceiling as though the lights could explain why you’d been crying like that.
Baby can’t sit still—he’s pacing, shoes whispering across the floor with each pass. He looks like he could punch through the wall if it would make you feel even a little bit better. Honestly, if you asked him to, he’d burn the building down and smile about it.
Jinu is the only one perched somewhere else, on the kitchen counter with his phone in hand. He isn’t using it, though—every few seconds, his eyes flick to the hallway like he’s waiting for you to appear. So when Romance finally emerges, Jinu’s up instantly, practically sprinting toward him. The movement draws the attention of the others, every head turning.
Romance just lifts a hand in a silent wait, his expression unreadable as he heads for the couch and drops into it with an exhale that sounds heavier than it should.
Romance barely sits before Baby explodes.
“So? Are you gonna talk or what?” His voice is rough, low, but you can feel the panic underneath. He’s pacing again before Romance even answers.
Romance drags a hand over his face. “She ran into her sister.”
The room stills.
“She didn’t know YN’s working with us.” His voice is steady, but you can tell it costs him. “And Mira—” His jaw tightens. “—she said some things.”
Abby’s brows knit, slow and dark. “What kind of things?”
Romance hesitates, almost like saying it out loud will make it worse. “She told YN… ‘That’s why mom and dad always keep you on a leash.’” The words land like a punch, heavy and cold.
Mistery’s head snaps up, his eyes sharp even behind his mask. “She said that to her face?” His knuckles curl against his knees again, hard enough you hear the faint creak of leather.
Baby mutters something that sounds dangerously close to I’ll kill her, but no one calls him out on it.
Jinu, who’s been silent until now, takes a step forward. “Why would she say that? Unless…” He exhales sharply. “Unless she’s trying to push YN away from us.”
Abby leans back, crossing his arms tighter. “Isn’t it obvious? Mira knows what we are. She knows what Gwi-Ma wants. If she thinks her sister’s in danger…”
“She’s not wrong to think that,” Mistery cuts in, voice quiet but cutting. “Technically, we are using her.”
The words hang there—ugly, uninvited.
“No,” Jinu snaps, quicker than even he expected. His gaze sweeps over all of them. “That’s not what this is anymore.”
Baby stops pacing, his hands on his hips. “You gonna tell me you don’t remember why we approached her in the first place?”
“I remember.” Jinu’s tone softens, but it doesn’t lose its weight. “I also know I don’t want to let her go. Not because of the mission. Because…” He trails off, running a hand through his hair. “Because I like having her close. We all do.”
Romance glances down at his hands, a faint smirk tugging at his lips like he’s not ready to admit how deep it runs. Abby exhales, long and slow, like the admission has been sitting in his chest for days. Mistery doesn’t say it out loud, but the stillness in him says enough.
“We can’t pretend anymore,” Jinu finishes, his voice low. “Yeah, Gwi-Ma gave us orders. Yeah, the mission’s still there. But I’m not gonna stand here and say she’s just a means to an end. She’s…” He searches for the word, finding nothing neat enough to hold it. “…more than that now.”
The silence that follows Jinu’s words isn’t just thoughtful—it’s loaded. The kind of silence that weighs on your chest and presses the air out of the room.
They all know the risk. They all know that what just happened—speaking it out loud—was crossing an invisible line.
Mistery is the first to move, shifting in his seat, the leather of his jacket groaning faintly. His gaze is fixed on the floor, but you can feel the tension coiling in him, like a predator caught between fight and flight. “You know what happens if he finds out.” His voice is so low you almost miss it.
Romance’s smirk fades, his thumb brushing absentmindedly over the edge of his ring. “If he finds out,” he echoes, but the false bravado in his tone doesn’t land. His eyes flick up briefly, scanning their faces—almost daring one of them to say he will.
Baby leans against the back of the couch, arms crossed tight, his jaw flexing hard enough to ache. “We’ve been careful so far.” But the way he says it, clipped and quick, makes it sound more like a prayer than a fact.
Abby stays still, almost too still, his eyes narrowing as if calculating something. “Careful doesn’t matter when it comes to him,” he says finally. “He doesn’t need proof. He can smell this kind of thing.”
“This kind of thing?” Jinu asks quietly, though the words carry an edge.
Abby’s gaze doesn’t waver. “Attachment.”
The word lands like ice water. They don’t have to explain the rest. Attachment is weakness. Weakness is leverage. Leverage is the quickest way for Gwi-Ma to tear them apart.
No one speaks for a moment. It’s like the room is holding its breath, each of them turning over the same truth in their heads: they can’t afford to feel this way.
And yet…
Mistery’s voice cuts through, almost reluctant, but certain. “Doesn’t matter. We’re past that point.”
Romance huffs a laugh, low and humorless. “Guess we’re already screwed, huh?”
Jinu leans forward, elbows on his knees, looking at each of them in turn. “Have you noticed,” he says slowly, “that we don’t hear him when she’s around?” His voice drops even more, like he’s afraid speaking it too loud will break the spell. “When Y/N’s close… it’s like he’s not there. No whispers. No pull. Nothing.”
The others freeze, trading uneasy glances. Because he’s right. They hadn’t thought about it until now, but the realization hits like a cold draft through the room.
Jinu’s gaze hardens. “That’s why we protect her. No matter what.”
One by one, the others meet his eyes. None of them say yes. They don’t have to.
——
You come to slowly, the kind of waking where your mind doesn’t match the pace of your body. The sheets are warm, your head is heavy, and for a moment you’re convinced you’re still dreaming. You blink at the pale ceiling, unsure why the space feels both unfamiliar and… safe.
It takes another few seconds before you realize what’s wrong—you don’t remember lying down.
You push yourself upright, the blankets sliding to your lap, and your eyes dart around, scanning the cream-toned walls and the faint golden light spilling through half-closed curtains.
Then the memory hits you like a punch. Mira’s voice—sharp, cold, and merciless—echoes in your head. Her words crash against you all over again, stabbing at the tender places you’d tried to keep hidden. Your throat tightens, a flash of heat burning behind your eyes.
You remember stumbling away, tears blurring your vision, the cold air biting at your face as you tried to breathe through the mess Mira had left in you… and then colliding with Romance. He caught you instantly, steadying you before you could fall apart, and without a word, he led you back to the penthouse—into his room—where he held you until the trembling eased.
Somewhere between the comfort of his voice and the exhaustion weighing you down, you must have fallen asleep.
And now it all makes sense—the pale sheets, the warm cream tones, the faint scent of his cologne drifting in the air. That scent you’ve grown to recognize in just a handful of days, and—if you’re honest—grown to love.
You’re in Romance’s room.
The thought barely settles before the door opens. He’s there, leaning against the frame like he’s been standing there a while, his smile soft in a way that makes you forget the sting in your chest. Behind him, Abby peeks around his shoulder, her grin brighter, teasing.
“Well, look who decided to wake up,” Romance says, his voice low, like he’s still trying not to disturb you.
You blink at him, half-smiling despite yourself. “Was I out long?”
“Long enough for us to debate whether you’d joined the land of the dead,” Abby chimes in, stepping inside.
They close the door behind them. Abby sits at the edge of the bed, close enough for her knee to brush yours, while Romance circles to the other side and leans back against the headboard.
“You okay?” Abby asks softly, searching your face.
“I think so,” you say, though it comes out quieter than you mean.
Romance’s gaze lingers on you, unreadable but steady. “I told the others what happened,” he says.
A wave of relief washes over you. “Thank you… I really didn’t want to say it all again.”
“You don’t have to,” Abby says firmly, her voice leaving no room for doubt.
That’s when you glance at the clock on the wall and your stomach twists. “Wait—don’t you guys have the variety shoot today? How long was I—”
Romance shakes his head before you can work yourself up. “Relax. You’ve been asleep for barely over an hour. We’ve still got a couple before we need to go.”
You exhale, tension bleeding out of your shoulders.
Abby smirks. “Honestly, we were gonna let you sleep longer, but we had to wake you before Jinu strangled Baby.”
Your brows rise. “What happened?”
“Baby refuses to wear the pink outfit you made him,” Romance says, his lips twitching. “He’s been… dramatic about it.”
“Dramatic?” Abby repeats with a laugh. “He said, and I quote, ‘I’d rather set myself on fire than wear that marshmallow of death.’”
You snort, clapping a hand over your mouth. “He didn’t.”
“Oh, he did,” Romance says. “Jinu’s thirty seconds from losing it. We’re trying to save them both.”
You’re still laughing when the door opens again.
Mystery steps in—and you freeze, though not for the reason Abby and Romance do. His hair is pushed back completely, revealing the full symmetry of his face, the deep brown of one eye and the striking pale gray of the other.
Both Abby and Romance instantly stiffen, glancing at each other in mild panic. Abby moves like she’s about to block your line of sight.
But you beat her to it, smiling gently. “I’m glad you feel comfortable like this, Min—”
You stop, realizing too late what you’ve said. Heat floods your cheeks.
Abby’s eyes widen. Romance looks from you to Mistery like he’s watching something he doesn’t understand.
Mystery, however, laughs—actually laughs—and it’s warm enough to ease the moment into something softer. “It’s fine,” he says, waving them off. “She’s seen me like this before.”
Abby blinks. “Wait… what?”
“I trust her,” Mystery says simply, his gaze lingering on you. “Besides, you know my name now. You can use them. That’s why i told you.”
For a second, no one says anything. The quiet feels… good. Warm. Like you’ve stepped into a moment that wasn’t meant to be broken.
Then Mystery clears his throat. “Anyway, I came to get you before Jinu commits a felony. Baby’s still refusing to dress, and I don’t want to be a witness.”
Abby chuckles. “Could be entertaining though.”
Your laugh comes easier this time, bright and unguarded. All three of them glance at you like they’re memorizing the sound.
You push off the bed. “Let’s go rescue them before it escalates.”
---
Jinu’s room is chaos when you open the door with the boys behind you.
On one side, Jinu stands by the dresser, jaw tight, one hand gripping the back of a chair like it’s the only thing keeping him from losing it completely.
Across from him, Baby leans against the wall, arms crossed, eyes narrowed.
“You’re putting it on,” Jinu says through clenched teeth.
“You can’t make me,” Baby fires back.
“Do you want us to be late?”
“Do you want me to look ridiculous?” Baby glances at you when you enter, like he’s found backup.
“Put it on,” Jinu says again, ignoring you entirely.
“No.”
Jinu’s eye twitches. “Baby—”
Before he can finish, Baby grabs the nearest object—a shoe—and lifts it like a weapon.
“Don’t,” Jinu warns.
Baby smirks. “Catch.”
The shoe flies. Jinu sidesteps, narrowly avoiding impact. He lunges, but Baby bolts—straight for you.
“YN!” Baby yelps, launching himself at you without warning.
The momentum knocks you off your feet, both of you hitting the floor in a tangle of limbs. You let out a startled squeak as he clings like a cat refusing to be pried off.
Above you, Jinu groans. “Exactly what I was afraid of.”
You barely have time to process what just happened before Jinu’s shadow looms over the two of you.
“Baby, get off her,” Jinu says, his tone flat in that way that means he’s one second away from snapping.
Baby doesn’t move. In fact, he tightens his hold around you, one arm hooked under your back, the other locking around your waist like he’s barricading you from the rest of the world. His legs are tangled with yours, and the weight of him keeps you pinned to the floor.
“Baby,” Jinu warns.
From the doorway, Abby’s voice pipes up. “You literally tackled her, what is wrong with you?”
“I panicked,” Baby says, not even lifting his head.
“That’s your excuse?!” Romance’s voice now, incredulous.
“It was a tactical maneuver,” Baby insists.
You open your mouth to respond, but that’s when you feel it—his head shifting slightly against your neck, his breath warm where your skin is most sensitive. The ticklish sensation makes you jolt, but before you can pull away, his lips are so close to your ear you can feel the faint movement when he speaks.
“Mm… you smell good,” he murmurs, his voice deep and low, almost a growl softened into a tease. The sound vibrates against your skin, sending an involuntary shiver racing down your spine. “Dangerous, though… makes me wanna stay right here.”
Heat floods your cheeks instantly. The combination of his tone—rich, velvety, and just rough enough to make your stomach twist—and the closeness of his body has your pulse skipping in ways you wish you could ignore.
“Baby!” Jinu snaps again, crouching to pry him off you.
Baby hums in mock innocence, still refusing to move. “What? She’s comfortable. I’m comfortable. Problem solved.”
Romance steps in, hooking his hands under Baby’s arms to try and drag him away. “The problem is you’re acting like a human seatbelt.”
Abby shakes her head, arms crossed. “More like a human octopus.”
You can’t help it—you laugh, even as Baby’s hold makes it impossible to sit up.
The sound of your laughter seems to make him pause for half a second, like he’s actually listening. Then he tilts his head just enough to glance at you, his gray-green eyes flicking down to your mouth before he grins, slow and entirely too smug.
“You should laugh more,” he says, still low, like it’s for you alone. “Looks good on you.”
Your cheeks burn hotter. “You’re impossible.”
“True,” he says without shame.
It takes both Jinu and Romance working together to finally pry him off you, his arms stretching out toward you like a child refusing to be taken from their favorite toy.
“Traitors,” he mutters at them as they haul him backward.
“You tackled her!” Jinu snaps. “We’re saving her life!”
Baby just laughs, unbothered.
“Alright, you’ve got to get dressed,” you say, keeping your tone light but firm as Baby groans, flopping up and crossing his arms dramatically.
“I don’t want to wear that,” he complains, wrinkling his nose like the idea alone is unbearable.
You raise an eyebrow, giving him your best ‘mom look.’ “That’s the vibe we picked. We all have to match.”
He scowls but clearly isn’t convinced. You soften your expression, batting your eyelashes just enough to tease. “Pretty pleaseee?”
After a long, exaggerated sigh, Baby finally relents. “Fine. But next time, I’m vetoing this entire look.” He mutters under his breath as he grabs the outfit, stalking out of the room with his usual mock-grump.
You wave the others off with a smile. “Go get dressed, you dorks.”
They scatter, leaving you alone for a moment. That’s when it hits—you don’t have an outfit ready for yourself, nothing you feel confident wearing on camera.
“Going back home isn’t really an option right now,” you murmur to yourself.
Just then, Romance appears in the doorway, a smirk tugging at his lips. “You can take whatever you want from our closets. No one minds. Plus, we have the guest bathroom if you want to shower.”
Abby’s voice floats from the hallway, calm and steady. “Seriously, we want you to feel comfortable.”
You smile softly, gratitude warming your chest. The boys head off to finish getting ready, leaving you alone with Jinu for a quiet moment.
He steps closer, eyes gentle as he asks quietly, “Are you okay? I haven’t seen you since you got here… after.”
Your throat tightens, but you blink away the sting of memory. “I’m… better now,” you whisper.
He nods, offering a small, reassuring smile. “Good. We’ve got your back.”
After he leaves, you take a deep breath and begin visiting each boy’s room.
You start with Abby’s���bright, bold, a cascade of colors and patterns that somehow feel like home. You quickly find a crisp, white button-up shirt, the kind Abby wears when she wants to look sharp but casual. The fabric is smooth, cool under your fingers.
Next, you step into Romance’s room, warm and familiar. The cream walls and soft lighting feel comforting. You grab a soft, light beige tee folded neatly on the bed—perfect for layering under Abby’s shirt.
Leaving Romance’s room behind, you move down the hall to Mystery’s. The atmosphere shifts immediately. Minimalism rules here—dark gray walls accented with sharp silver frames, a sleek black desk holding only a laptop and a few pens arranged just so. The room feels precise, controlled, much like mystery himself.
Your eyes land on a pair of wide-leg pants hanging casually over the back of a chair. Their flowing fabric contrasts beautifully with the room’s austerity—stylish yet relaxed. You carefully take them, imagining how they’ll move with you and catch the light.
Baby’s room surprises you with its coziness. Near the door, a pair of sturdy black boots catch your eye. You slip them on, feeling their weight ground you instantly.
Finally, you enter again in Jinu’s room. It’s refined and elegant but understated. Your gaze lands on a dresser where simple bracelets and a sleek silver necklace rest. You pick a couple of pieces, heart fluttering at the thought of carrying a bit of him with you.
Back in the guest bathroom, you layer the clothes with care—Abby’s shirt left open over Romance’s tee, the wide pants falling just right, Baby’s boots laced tightly, and Jinu’s bracelets sliding over your wrists. The faint scent of their colognes clings to the fabric and your skin, mingling in a way that makes you feel... connected.
A soft knock at the door pulls you from your thoughts.
“YN?” Romance’s voice calls through. “We’re all ready whenever you want to come see.”
You take a deep breath, smooth your hair one last time, and open the door.
You step out of the hallway, towel-dried hair falling loose over your shoulders, the mixed scent of five different colognes still clinging faintly to your skin. The air in the living room stills—like someone’s hand just pressed pause on the whole scene.
Romance’s eyes are the first to find you. His gaze drags slowly, almost lazily, but every inch he takes in sets something low in his stomach alight. The heat spreads downward, sharp and insistent, tightening everything in between. His fingers flex against his thighs, but the denim is already too tight, already biting into him.
Jinu’s look is sharper—quieter—but no less consuming. He swallows hard, feels the warmth crawl up his throat before dropping lower, heavy and unyielding. He shifts his stance, subtle but deliberate, trying to hide the way his body’s reacting.
Abby freezes mid-step. His smirk tries to come naturally, but there’s a slight hitch in his breath as his eyes travel up your legs to the curve of your waist. Heat pools fast, and he presses his tongue to the inside of his cheek, the muscle in his jaw flexing just once.
Mystery’s hands pause at the edge of his vest. He doesn’t speak at first, but you can feel his gaze—steady, unwavering. Beneath the surface calm, there’s a slow burn building, the kind that makes his breathing almost imperceptibly deeper.
Baby’s grin falters for half a second before returning. His eyes flick down your body and back up, the movement too slow to pass as casual. There’s a quiet weight in his stare, and he feels the twitch in his jeans before he even thinks to move.
“Damn,” Baby says, voice lower than intended. “You… clean up nice.”
“You look…” Jinu starts, but stops, jaw tightening as his eyes linger on the slope of your neck for a beat too long.
Abby lets out a short huff of air, smirk returning in full force. “Didn’t know we were hiding a runway model in the studio.”
Mystery’s voice is low, steady, but the faint rasp gives him away. “It suits you.”
You arch a brow, stepping toward Romance first. “Let’s see… this here’s a little off.” You tug at the edge of his shirt, fingers brushing over his stomach. The contact is brief but electric—heat shooting straight through him. His hips stay perfectly still, but his breath leaves hotter than it should.
Next, Abby. You lean in, fastening a button near his collar. “Just one,” you murmur, not looking up. “Knew this fabric would make your eyes stand out.” His smirk curves higher, but his body stays rigid, his pulse skipping under your nearness.
Baby is next, shoulders squaring as you smooth the fabric over his arms. “Relax,” you murmur, your hands trailing slowly down to his wrists. His breath catches; his grin is back, but there’s tension in the way he shifts his weight.
Finally, Mystery. You step into his space, fixing the line of his vest and running your hand down a stubborn crease. “There,” you say softly, “perfect.” He doesn’t move, but his chest rises slightly more with each breath, the fabric over it straining just enough to betray him.
Romance’s fists curl tighter at his sides. The faint trace of his own scent on you, the warmth of your fingers—both have his demon snarling ugly, possessive things in his head. His jeans feel suffocating now, and every movement is a fight to keep still.
Jinu notices—too much. The restless tension in Romance’s stance mirrors the one in his own. It makes his pulse kick harder, knowing they’re both fighting the same losing battle.
Abby tilts his head, watching the silent exchange, and Baby smirks knowingly. Even Mystery’s gaze flickers once before settling back into that stoic mask.
Romance mutters something about getting water and disappears into the kitchen. Baby’s shoulders shake with quiet laughter; Abby’s lips twitch, trying to keep a straight face.
“What?” you ask, glancing between them.
“Nothing,” they say in unison, eyes glittering with the kind of secret you’ll never hear.
——
You step into the bright chaos of the backstage area with the boys at your side, the air buzzing with pre-show energy. Staff members rush around, adjusting cables, testing lights, and handing off last-minute notes.
A woman with a clipboard hurries toward Jinu. “Is this your stylist?” she asks, glancing quickly at you.
“She’s in charge of our image today,” Jinu confirms, his tone calm but leaving no room for doubt. “If you have any questions about our look, talk to her.”
That gets the woman’s full attention. “Got it. We just want to make sure everything matches the stage lighting.”
You nod and immediately move toward the makeup station, the boys trailing behind. “Alright, they’re already dressed, so we just need light touch-ups.”
You start with Abby, tilting your head to examine him under the warm bulbs. “Keep his skin looking fresh—no heavy contour, just a subtle highlight on the high points so the stage lights catch him right. And for lips, stick to a sheer balm.” Abby flashes a quick grin in the mirror, clearly pleased with the minimal fuss.
Next, you turn to Baby. “We want his eyes a little sharper. Soft brown liner to define the shape, but nothing too smoky—it’ll make him look older, and that’s not the vibe we’re going for today.” Baby hums in acknowledgment, leaning back casually in the chair as the artist follows your notes.
Romance is next, already lounging like he owns the place. “His blush needs to stay warm-toned—peach, not pink,” you instruct. “And leave the freckles as they are. Don’t cover them.” You catch the way his gaze flicks toward you in the mirror, a smirk tugging at his mouth.
You move on to Mistery. His long, dark hair still falls forward, covering most of his face until just above his lips. You take a moment, studying how the light hits him. “No foundation. Just powder for shine control,” you say quietly. “And keep his skin matte—it’ll help the shadows from his hair look intentional on camera.” Mistery gives a slow nod, almost imperceptible, but you can see his shoulders relax at your choice.
Finally, you reach Jinu. “Skin has to look natural, no heavy products,” you direct. “A bit of concealer if needed, but make sure the jawline stays sharp.” Jinu’s eyes meet yours for a brief second, something unreadable passing between you before he sits down for the touch-up.
You step back, scanning all five of them. “They’re ready,” you tell the crew.
That’s when two Hosts approach—a man and a woman, both in sleek outfits and holding cue cards. “Alright, gentlemen, here’s the rundown,” the female Host says. “You’ll open with a short interview, then we have three mini-challenges before your performance.”
The male Host grins. “First challenge is a rapid-fire Q&A—answer as fast as possible. Second is a coordination game; we’ll explain it on stage.”
“And the last one,” the female Host adds, smiling knowingly, “is a spicy endurance test. Whoever can drink the most spoonfuls of extra-hot sauce without giving up wins.”
The boys exchange quick glances—competitive sparks lighting instantly in their eyes.
“Oh, we’re doing this,” Abby says under his breath.
Romance leans against the wall, his smirk widening. “Hope you’re all ready to lose.”
Baby scoffs. “Not a chance.”
Even Mystery tilts his head, a small curve forming at the edge of his lips.
“Five minutes,” the stage manager calls out.
You watch as the boys straighten up, their playful banter fading into sharp focus. The switch from casual to performance mode is instant—and electric.
The stage manager’s voice crackles through the comms, urgent and sharp.
"Two minutes! Positions!"
The boys start moving toward the side entrance, the muffled roar of the crowd seeping through the curtains. You can feel the pulse of the bass through the floorboards, rattling up your legs.
You take a deep breath and step forward, giving each of them a quick smile and a few words of encouragement.
“You’ve got this, Jinu—show them who’s boss,” you murmur, and he nods, a small grin tugging at his lips.
Romance catches your eye, and you flash him a wink. “Keep that smirk ready—you’re going to kill it out there.” He smirks in response, confidence brightening his expression.
Abby leans forward slightly, and you clap him on the shoulder. “Remember your cues, okay? You’ve got this.” He winks back, giving a subtle thumbs-up.
Mystery brushes past without a word, but you catch the faint graze of his shoulder against yours, and you murmur softly, “Keep calm, you’ll be perfect.” A tiny nod from him is your only acknowledgment, but it’s enough.
And then… it’s just Baby left.
He lingers by the curtain instead of joining the others, one hand in his pocket, the other loosely gripping the mic. His head tilts slightly, eyes catching yours under the bright backstage lights. There’s a faint sheen on his lips—lip balm, not gloss—and your brain instantly recalls the feel of them this morning.
“You should go,” you say, forcing your voice steady.
He doesn’t move. “Should I?” His tone is low, casual, but the faint curl at the edge of his mouth tells you he’s anything but indifferent.
“The show’s about to start,” you murmur, fingers tightening around your clipboard. “But… I know you’ll do great.” Your voice softens, a playful lift at the end, trying to tease and reassure all at once.
He steps closer—just enough to blur the air between you, the faint scent of his cologne curling around your senses. It’s fresh, warm, intoxicating.
“I remember you didn’t push me away earlier,” he murmurs, eyes fixed on yours. “Still thinking about how sweet your lips were.”
You blink, heat rushing to your cheeks. “That was—”
“A mistake?” he finishes, leaning in just enough for you to feel his breath on your cheek. “You don’t look like you believe that.”
Your pulse hammers. You should step back, speak, do anything—but your feet stay rooted.
The crowd outside roars again, the bass vibrating through the walls, but here in this narrow backstage strip, the world narrows to just him.
“You’re late,” you murmur softly, your voice quieter than you intend.
“So make me leave,” he challenges, stepping closer, close enough that the heat of his body brushes yours.
Your breath hitches. “You think I won’t?”
He smiles—not wide, but slow, teasing, burning. “I think you don’t want to.”
The words hit you, dangerous and intoxicating. He slides his hands to your waist, pulling you gently toward him. His lips brush yours in a kiss bolder and more daring than this morning’s, lingering just long enough to leave your chest and stomach aflame.
When he finally pulls back, his voice drops, rougher and husky. “I’ll see you after.”
Then he’s gone—slipping past the curtain, swallowed by the stage lights and the roar of the crowd—leaving you standing there, heart hammering, lips tingling, legs weak, every nerve alight.

Romance feels the gradual shift in your body—how your weight settles heavier against him, how your breathing deepens until it’s slow and steady. You’re asleep.
Still, he doesn’t move. He just holds you for a little longer, memorizing the warmth radiating from you, the way your frame fits into his arms like it belongs there. There’s a kind of unspoken trust in the fact that you’ve let yourself fall asleep here, in him, and he’s in no hurry to give it back.
When he’s sure you won’t stir at the slightest touch, he shifts carefully, scooping you just enough to guide you toward the bedroom. His bedroom. The thought hits him—his sheets will smell like you.
It’s almost enough to break him in a different way.
Not now, he reminds himself, shaking it off before the heat crawling up his neck gets worse.
He lays you down gently, tucking the blanket around you like it’s muscle memory. The sight of you curling tighter around his pillow makes his chest ache in a way he doesn’t have words for. He bends down and presses a kiss into your hair—quick, quiet, selfish—then slips out, closing the door behind him with deliberate care.
The living room isn’t much better. Tension clings to the air like a storm about to break.
Mistery sits beside Abby on the couch, elbows on his knees, his knuckles bone-white from the pressure of holding them together. He doesn’t look up, just stares at the floor like it’s holding answers. Abby’s leaned back against the cushions, arms crossed tightly over his chest, gaze fixed on the ceiling as though the lights could explain why you’d been crying like that.
Baby can’t sit still—he’s pacing, shoes whispering across the floor with each pass. He looks like he could punch through the wall if it would make you feel even a little bit better. Honestly, if you asked him to, he’d burn the building down and smile about it.
Jinu is the only one perched somewhere else, on the kitchen counter with his phone in hand. He isn’t using it, though—every few seconds, his eyes flick to the hallway like he’s waiting for you to appear. So when Romance finally emerges, Jinu’s up instantly, practically sprinting toward him. The movement draws the attention of the others, every head turning.
Romance just lifts a hand in a silent wait, his expression unreadable as he heads for the couch and drops into it with an exhale that sounds heavier than it should.
Romance barely sits before Baby explodes.
“So? Are you gonna talk or what?” His voice is rough, low, but you can feel the panic underneath. He’s pacing again before Romance even answers.
Romance drags a hand over his face. “She ran into her sister.”
The room stills.
“She didn’t know YN’s working with us.” His voice is steady, but you can tell it costs him. “And Mira—” His jaw tightens. “—she said some things.”
Abby’s brows knit, slow and dark. “What kind of things?”
Romance hesitates, almost like saying it out loud will make it worse. “She told YN… ‘That’s why mom and dad always keep you on a leash.’” The words land like a punch, heavy and cold.
Mistery’s head snaps up, his eyes sharp even behind his mask. “She said that to her face?” His knuckles curl against his knees again, hard enough you hear the faint creak of leather.
Baby mutters something that sounds dangerously close to I’ll kill her, but no one calls him out on it.
Jinu, who’s been silent until now, takes a step forward. “Why would she say that? Unless…” He exhales sharply. “Unless she’s trying to push YN away from us.”
Abby leans back, crossing his arms tighter. “Isn’t it obvious? Mira knows what we are. She knows what Gwi-Ma wants. If she thinks her sister’s in danger…”
“She’s not wrong to think that,” Mistery cuts in, voice quiet but cutting. “Technically, we are using her.”
The words hang there—ugly, uninvited.
“No,” Jinu snaps, quicker than even he expected. His gaze sweeps over all of them. “That’s not what this is anymore.”
Baby stops pacing, his hands on his hips. “You gonna tell me you don’t remember why we approached her in the first place?”
“I remember.” Jinu’s tone softens, but it doesn’t lose its weight. “I also know I don’t want to let her go. Not because of the mission. Because…” He trails off, running a hand through his hair. “Because I like having her close. We all do.”
Romance glances down at his hands, a faint smirk tugging at his lips like he’s not ready to admit how deep it runs. Abby exhales, long and slow, like the admission has been sitting in his chest for days. Mistery doesn’t say it out loud, but the stillness in him says enough.
“We can’t pretend anymore,” Jinu finishes, his voice low. “Yeah, Gwi-Ma gave us orders. Yeah, the mission’s still there. But I’m not gonna stand here and say she’s just a means to an end. She’s…” He searches for the word, finding nothing neat enough to hold it. “…more than that now.”
The silence that follows Jinu’s words isn’t just thoughtful—it’s loaded. The kind of silence that weighs on your chest and presses the air out of the room.
They all know the risk. They all know that what just happened—speaking it out loud—was crossing an invisible line.
Mistery is the first to move, shifting in his seat, the leather of his jacket groaning faintly. His gaze is fixed on the floor, but you can feel the tension coiling in him, like a predator caught between fight and flight. “You know what happens if he finds out.” His voice is so low you almost miss it.
Romance’s smirk fades, his thumb brushing absentmindedly over the edge of his ring. “If he finds out,” he echoes, but the false bravado in his tone doesn’t land. His eyes flick up briefly, scanning their faces—almost daring one of them to say he will.
Baby leans against the back of the couch, arms crossed tight, his jaw flexing hard enough to ache. “We’ve been careful so far.” But the way he says it, clipped and quick, makes it sound more like a prayer than a fact.
Abby stays still, almost too still, his eyes narrowing as if calculating something. “Careful doesn’t matter when it comes to him,” he says finally. “He doesn’t need proof. He can smell this kind of thing.”
“This kind of thing?” Jinu asks quietly, though the words carry an edge.
Abby’s gaze doesn’t waver. “Attachment.”
The word lands like ice water. They don’t have to explain the rest. Attachment is weakness. Weakness is leverage. Leverage is the quickest way for Gwi-Ma to tear them apart.
No one speaks for a moment. It’s like the room is holding its breath, each of them turning over the same truth in their heads: they can’t afford to feel this way.
And yet…
Mistery’s voice cuts through, almost reluctant, but certain. “Doesn’t matter. We’re past that point.”
Romance huffs a laugh, low and humorless. “Guess we’re already screwed, huh?”
Jinu leans forward, elbows on his knees, looking at each of them in turn. “Have you noticed,” he says slowly, “that we don’t hear him when she’s around?” His voice drops even more, like he’s afraid speaking it too loud will break the spell. “When Y/N’s close… it’s like he’s not there. No whispers. No pull. Nothing.”
The others freeze, trading uneasy glances. Because he’s right. They hadn’t thought about it until now, but the realization hits like a cold draft through the room.
Jinu’s gaze hardens. “That’s why we protect her. No matter what.”
One by one, the others meet his eyes. None of them say yes. They don’t have to.
——
You come to slowly, the kind of waking where your mind doesn’t match the pace of your body. The sheets are warm, your head is heavy, and for a moment you’re convinced you’re still dreaming. You blink at the pale ceiling, unsure why the space feels both unfamiliar and… safe.
It takes another few seconds before you realize what’s wrong—you don’t remember lying down.
You push yourself upright, the blankets sliding to your lap, and your eyes dart around, scanning the cream-toned walls and the faint golden light spilling through half-closed curtains.
Then the memory hits you like a punch. Mira’s voice—sharp, cold, and merciless—echoes in your head. Her words crash against you all over again, stabbing at the tender places you’d tried to keep hidden. Your throat tightens, a flash of heat burning behind your eyes.
You remember stumbling away, tears blurring your vision, the cold air biting at your face as you tried to breathe through the mess Mira had left in you… and then colliding with Romance. He caught you instantly, steadying you before you could fall apart, and without a word, he led you back to the penthouse—into his room—where he held you until the trembling eased.
Somewhere between the comfort of his voice and the exhaustion weighing you down, you must have fallen asleep.
And now it all makes sense—the pale sheets, the warm cream tones, the faint scent of his cologne drifting in the air. That scent you’ve grown to recognize in just a handful of days, and—if you’re honest—grown to love.
You’re in Romance’s room.
The thought barely settles before the door opens. He’s there, leaning against the frame like he’s been standing there a while, his smile soft in a way that makes you forget the sting in your chest. Behind him, Abby peeks around his shoulder, her grin brighter, teasing.
“Well, look who decided to wake up,” Romance says, his voice low, like he’s still trying not to disturb you.
You blink at him, half-smiling despite yourself. “Was I out long?”
“Long enough for us to debate whether you’d joined the land of the dead,” Abby chimes in, stepping inside.
They close the door behind them. Abby sits at the edge of the bed, close enough for her knee to brush yours, while Romance circles to the other side and leans back against the headboard.
“You okay?” Abby asks softly, searching your face.
“I think so,” you say, though it comes out quieter than you mean.
Romance’s gaze lingers on you, unreadable but steady. “I told the others what happened,” he says.
A wave of relief washes over you. “Thank you… I really didn’t want to say it all again.”
“You don’t have to,” Abby says firmly, her voice leaving no room for doubt.
That’s when you glance at the clock on the wall and your stomach twists. “Wait—don’t you guys have the variety shoot today? How long was I—”
Romance shakes his head before you can work yourself up. “Relax. You’ve been asleep for barely over an hour. We’ve still got a couple before we need to go.”
You exhale, tension bleeding out of your shoulders.
Abby smirks. “Honestly, we were gonna let you sleep longer, but we had to wake you before Jinu strangled Baby.”
Your brows rise. “What happened?”
“Baby refuses to wear the pink outfit you made him,” Romance says, his lips twitching. “He’s been… dramatic about it.”
“Dramatic?” Abby repeats with a laugh. “He said, and I quote, ‘I’d rather set myself on fire than wear that marshmallow of death.’”
You snort, clapping a hand over your mouth. “He didn’t.”
“Oh, he did,” Romance says. “Jinu’s thirty seconds from losing it. We’re trying to save them both.”
You’re still laughing when the door opens again.
Mystery steps in—and you freeze, though not for the reason Abby and Romance do. His hair is pushed back completely, revealing the full symmetry of his face, the deep brown of one eye and the striking pale gray of the other.
Both Abby and Romance instantly stiffen, glancing at each other in mild panic. Abby moves like she’s about to block your line of sight.
But you beat her to it, smiling gently. “I’m glad you feel comfortable like this, Min—”
You stop, realizing too late what you’ve said. Heat floods your cheeks.
Abby’s eyes widen. Romance looks from you to Mistery like he’s watching something he doesn’t understand.
Mystery, however, laughs—actually laughs—and it’s warm enough to ease the moment into something softer. “It’s fine,” he says, waving them off. “She’s seen me like this before.”
Abby blinks. “Wait… what?”
“I trust her,” Mystery says simply, his gaze lingering on you. “Besides, you know my name now. You can use them. That’s why i told you.”
For a second, no one says anything. The quiet feels… good. Warm. Like you’ve stepped into a moment that wasn’t meant to be broken.
Then Mystery clears his throat. “Anyway, I came to get you before Jinu commits a felony. Baby’s still refusing to dress, and I don’t want to be a witness.”
Abby chuckles. “Could be entertaining though.”
Your laugh comes easier this time, bright and unguarded. All three of them glance at you like they’re memorizing the sound.
You push off the bed. “Let’s go rescue them before it escalates.”
---
Jinu’s room is chaos when you open the door with the boys behind you.
On one side, Jinu stands by the dresser, jaw tight, one hand gripping the back of a chair like it’s the only thing keeping him from losing it completely.
Across from him, Baby leans against the wall, arms crossed, eyes narrowed.
“You’re putting it on,” Jinu says through clenched teeth.
“You can’t make me,” Baby fires back.
“Do you want us to be late?”
“Do you want me to look ridiculous?” Baby glances at you when you enter, like he’s found backup.
“Put it on,” Jinu says again, ignoring you entirely.
“No.”
Jinu’s eye twitches. “Baby—”
Before he can finish, Baby grabs the nearest object—a shoe—and lifts it like a weapon.
“Don’t,” Jinu warns.
Baby smirks. “Catch.”
The shoe flies. Jinu sidesteps, narrowly avoiding impact. He lunges, but Baby bolts—straight for you.
“YN!” Baby yelps, launching himself at you without warning.
The momentum knocks you off your feet, both of you hitting the floor in a tangle of limbs. You let out a startled squeak as he clings like a cat refusing to be pried off.
Above you, Jinu groans. “Exactly what I was afraid of.”
You barely have time to process what just happened before Jinu’s shadow looms over the two of you.
“Baby, get off her,” Jinu says, his tone flat in that way that means he’s one second away from snapping.
Baby doesn’t move. In fact, he tightens his hold around you, one arm hooked under your back, the other locking around your waist like he’s barricading you from the rest of the world. His legs are tangled with yours, and the weight of him keeps you pinned to the floor.
“Baby,” Jinu warns.
From the doorway, Abby’s voice pipes up. “You literally tackled her, what is wrong with you?”
“I panicked,” Baby says, not even lifting his head.
“That’s your excuse?!” Romance’s voice now, incredulous.
“It was a tactical maneuver,” Baby insists.
You open your mouth to respond, but that’s when you feel it—his head shifting slightly against your neck, his breath warm where your skin is most sensitive. The ticklish sensation makes you jolt, but before you can pull away, his lips are so close to your ear you can feel the faint movement when he speaks.
“Mm… you smell good,” he murmurs, his voice deep and low, almost a growl softened into a tease. The sound vibrates against your skin, sending an involuntary shiver racing down your spine. “Dangerous, though… makes me wanna stay right here.”
Heat floods your cheeks instantly. The combination of his tone—rich, velvety, and just rough enough to make your stomach twist—and the closeness of his body has your pulse skipping in ways you wish you could ignore.
“Baby!” Jinu snaps again, crouching to pry him off you.
Baby hums in mock innocence, still refusing to move. “What? She’s comfortable. I’m comfortable. Problem solved.”
Romance steps in, hooking his hands under Baby’s arms to try and drag him away. “The problem is you’re acting like a human seatbelt.”
Abby shakes her head, arms crossed. “More like a human octopus.”
You can’t help it—you laugh, even as Baby’s hold makes it impossible to sit up.
The sound of your laughter seems to make him pause for half a second, like he’s actually listening. Then he tilts his head just enough to glance at you, his gray-green eyes flicking down to your mouth before he grins, slow and entirely too smug.
“You should laugh more,” he says, still low, like it’s for you alone. “Looks good on you.”
Your cheeks burn hotter. “You’re impossible.”
“True,” he says without shame.
It takes both Jinu and Romance working together to finally pry him off you, his arms stretching out toward you like a child refusing to be taken from their favorite toy.
“Traitors,” he mutters at them as they haul him backward.
“You tackled her!” Jinu snaps. “We’re saving her life!”
Baby just laughs, unbothered.
“Alright, you’ve got to get dressed,” you say, keeping your tone light but firm as Baby groans, flopping up and crossing his arms dramatically.
“I don’t want to wear that,” he complains, wrinkling his nose like the idea alone is unbearable.
You raise an eyebrow, giving him your best ‘mom look.’ “That’s the vibe we picked. We all have to match.”
He scowls but clearly isn’t convinced. You soften your expression, batting your eyelashes just enough to tease. “Pretty pleaseee?”
After a long, exaggerated sigh, Baby finally relents. “Fine. But next time, I’m vetoing this entire look.” He mutters under his breath as he grabs the outfit, stalking out of the room with his usual mock-grump.
You wave the others off with a smile. “Go get dressed, you dorks.”
They scatter, leaving you alone for a moment. That’s when it hits—you don’t have an outfit ready for yourself, nothing you feel confident wearing on camera.
“Going back home isn’t really an option right now,” you murmur to yourself.
Just then, Romance appears in the doorway, a smirk tugging at his lips. “You can take whatever you want from our closets. No one minds. Plus, we have the guest bathroom if you want to shower.”
Abby’s voice floats from the hallway, calm and steady. “Seriously, we want you to feel comfortable.”
You smile softly, gratitude warming your chest. The boys head off to finish getting ready, leaving you alone with Jinu for a quiet moment.
He steps closer, eyes gentle as he asks quietly, “Are you okay? I haven’t seen you since you got here… after.”
Your throat tightens, but you blink away the sting of memory. “I’m… better now,” you whisper.
He nods, offering a small, reassuring smile. “Good. We’ve got your back.”
After he leaves, you take a deep breath and begin visiting each boy’s room.
You start with Abby’s—bright, bold, a cascade of colors and patterns that somehow feel like home. You quickly find a crisp, white button-up shirt, the kind Abby wears when she wants to look sharp but casual. The fabric is smooth, cool under your fingers.
Next, you step into Romance’s room, warm and familiar. The cream walls and soft lighting feel comforting. You grab a soft, light beige tee folded neatly on the bed—perfect for layering under Abby’s shirt.
Leaving Romance’s room behind, you move down the hall to Mystery’s. The atmosphere shifts immediately. Minimalism rules here—dark gray walls accented with sharp silver frames, a sleek black desk holding only a laptop and a few pens arranged just so. The room feels precise, controlled, much like mystery himself.
Your eyes land on a pair of wide-leg pants hanging casually over the back of a chair. Their flowing fabric contrasts beautifully with the room’s austerity—stylish yet relaxed. You carefully take them, imagining how they’ll move with you and catch the light.
Baby’s room surprises you with its coziness. Near the door, a pair of sturdy black boots catch your eye. You slip them on, feeling their weight ground you instantly.
Finally, you enter again in Jinu’s room. It’s refined and elegant but understated. Your gaze lands on a dresser where simple bracelets and a sleek silver necklace rest. You pick a couple of pieces, heart fluttering at the thought of carrying a bit of him with you.
Back in the guest bathroom, you layer the clothes with care—Abby’s shirt left open over Romance’s tee, the wide pants falling just right, Baby’s boots laced tightly, and Jinu’s bracelets sliding over your wrists. The faint scent of their colognes clings to the fabric and your skin, mingling in a way that makes you feel... connected.
A soft knock at the door pulls you from your thoughts.
“YN?” Romance’s voice calls through. “We’re all ready whenever you want to come see.”
You take a deep breath, smooth your hair one last time, and open the door.
You step out of the hallway, towel-dried hair falling loose over your shoulders, the mixed scent of five different colognes still clinging faintly to your skin. The air in the living room stills—like someone’s hand just pressed pause on the whole scene.
Romance’s eyes are the first to find you. His gaze drags slowly, almost lazily, but every inch he takes in sets something low in his stomach alight. The heat spreads downward, sharp and insistent, tightening everything in between. His fingers flex against his thighs, but the denim is already too tight, already biting into him.
Jinu’s look is sharper—quieter—but no less consuming. He swallows hard, feels the warmth crawl up his throat before dropping lower, heavy and unyielding. He shifts his stance, subtle but deliberate, trying to hide the way his body’s reacting.
Abby freezes mid-step. His smirk tries to come naturally, but there’s a slight hitch in his breath as his eyes travel up your legs to the curve of your waist. Heat pools fast, and he presses his tongue to the inside of his cheek, the muscle in his jaw flexing just once.
Mystery’s hands pause at the edge of his vest. He doesn’t speak at first, but you can feel his gaze—steady, unwavering. Beneath the surface calm, there’s a slow burn building, the kind that makes his breathing almost imperceptibly deeper.
Baby’s grin falters for half a second before returning. His eyes flick down your body and back up, the movement too slow to pass as casual. There’s a quiet weight in his stare, and he feels the twitch in his jeans before he even thinks to move.
“Damn,” Baby says, voice lower than intended. “You… clean up nice.”
“You look…” Jinu starts, but stops, jaw tightening as his eyes linger on the slope of your neck for a beat too long.
Abby lets out a short huff of air, smirk returning in full force. “Didn’t know we were hiding a runway model in the studio.”
Mystery’s voice is low, steady, but the faint rasp gives him away. “It suits you.”
You arch a brow, stepping toward Romance first. “Let’s see… this here’s a little off.” You tug at the edge of his shirt, fingers brushing over his stomach. The contact is brief but electric—heat shooting straight through him. His hips stay perfectly still, but his breath leaves hotter than it should.
Next, Abby. You lean in, fastening a button near his collar. “Just one,” you murmur, not looking up. “Knew this fabric would make your eyes stand out.” His smirk curves higher, but his body stays rigid, his pulse skipping under your nearness.
Baby is next, shoulders squaring as you smooth the fabric over his arms. “Relax,” you murmur, your hands trailing slowly down to his wrists. His breath catches; his grin is back, but there’s tension in the way he shifts his weight.
Finally, Mystery. You step into his space, fixing the line of his vest and running your hand down a stubborn crease. “There,” you say softly, “perfect.” He doesn’t move, but his chest rises slightly more with each breath, the fabric over it straining just enough to betray him.
Romance’s fists curl tighter at his sides. The faint trace of his own scent on you, the warmth of your fingers—both have his demon snarling ugly, possessive things in his head. His jeans feel suffocating now, and every movement is a fight to keep still.
Jinu notices—too much. The restless tension in Romance’s stance mirrors the one in his own. It makes his pulse kick harder, knowing they’re both fighting the same losing battle.
Abby tilts his head, watching the silent exchange, and Baby smirks knowingly. Even Mystery’s gaze flickers once before settling back into that stoic mask.
Romance mutters something about getting water and disappears into the kitchen. Baby’s shoulders shake with quiet laughter; Abby’s lips twitch, trying to keep a straight face.
“What?” you ask, glancing between them.
“Nothing,” they say in unison, eyes glittering with the kind of secret you’ll never hear.
——
You step into the bright chaos of the backstage area with the boys at your side, the air buzzing with pre-show energy. Staff members rush around, adjusting cables, testing lights, and handing off last-minute notes.
A woman with a clipboard hurries toward Jinu. “Is this your stylist?” she asks, glancing quickly at you.
“She’s in charge of our image today,” Jinu confirms, his tone calm but leaving no room for doubt. “If you have any questions about our look, talk to her.”
That gets the woman’s full attention. “Got it. We just want to make sure everything matches the stage lighting.”
You nod and immediately move toward the makeup station, the boys trailing behind. “Alright, they’re already dressed, so we just need light touch-ups.”
You start with Abby, tilting your head to examine him under the warm bulbs. “Keep his skin looking fresh—no heavy contour, just a subtle highlight on the high points so the stage lights catch him right. And for lips, stick to a sheer balm.” Abby flashes a quick grin in the mirror, clearly pleased with the minimal fuss.
Next, you turn to Baby. “We want his eyes a little sharper. Soft brown liner to define the shape, but nothing too smoky—it’ll make him look older, and that’s not the vibe we’re going for today.” Baby hums in acknowledgment, leaning back casually in the chair as the artist follows your notes.
Romance is next, already lounging like he owns the place. “His blush needs to stay warm-toned—peach, not pink,” you instruct. “And leave the freckles as they are. Don’t cover them.” You catch the way his gaze flicks toward you in the mirror, a smirk tugging at his mouth.
You move on to Mystery. His long, dark hair still falls forward, covering most of his face until just above his lips. You take a moment, studying how the light hits him. “No foundation. Just powder for shine control,” you say quietly. “And keep his skin matte—it’ll help the shadows from his hair look intentional on camera.” Mystery gives a slow nod, almost imperceptible, but you can see his shoulders relax at your choice.
Finally, you reach Jinu. “Skin has to look natural, no heavy products,” you direct. “A bit of concealer if needed, but make sure the jawline stays sharp.” Jinu’s eyes meet yours for a brief second, something unreadable passing between you before he sits down for the touch-up.
You step back, scanning all five of them. “They’re ready,” you tell the crew.
That’s when two Hosts approach—a man and a woman, both in sleek outfits and holding cue cards. “Alright, gentlemen, here’s the rundown,” the female Host says. “You’ll open with a short interview, then we have three mini-challenges before your performance.”
The male Host grins. “First challenge is a rapid-fire Q&A—answer as fast as possible. Second is a coordination game; we’ll explain it on stage.”
“And the last one,” the female Host adds, smiling knowingly, “is a spicy endurance test. Whoever can drink the most spoonfuls of extra-hot sauce without giving up wins.”
The boys exchange quick glances—competitive sparks lighting instantly in their eyes.
“Oh, we’re doing this,” Abby says under his breath.
Romance leans against the wall, his smirk widening. “Hope you’re all ready to lose.”
Baby scoffs. “Not a chance.”
Even Mystery tilts his head, a small curve forming at the edge of his lips.
“Five minutes,” the stage manager calls out.
You watch as the boys straighten up, their playful banter fading into sharp focus. The switch from casual to performance mode is instant—and electric.
The stage manager’s voice crackles through the comms, urgent and sharp.
"Two minutes! Positions!"
The boys start moving toward the side entrance, the muffled roar of the crowd seeping through the curtains. You can feel the pulse of the bass through the floorboards, rattling up your legs.
You take a deep breath and step forward, giving each of them a quick smile and a few words of encouragement.
“You’ve got this, Jinu—show them who’s boss,” you murmur, and he nods, a small grin tugging at his lips.
Romance catches your eye, and you flash him a wink. “Keep that smirk ready—you’re going to kill it out there.” He smirks in response, confidence brightening his expression.
Abby leans forward slightly, and you clap him on the shoulder. “Remember your cues, okay? You’ve got this.” He winks back, giving a subtle thumbs-up.
Mystery brushes past without a word, but you catch the faint graze of his shoulder against yours, and you murmur softly, “Keep calm, you’ll be perfect.” A tiny nod from him is your only acknowledgment, but it’s enough.
And then… it’s just Baby left.
He lingers by the curtain instead of joining the others, one hand in his pocket, the other loosely gripping the mic. His head tilts slightly, eyes catching yours under the bright backstage lights. There’s a faint sheen on his lips—lip balm, not gloss—and your brain instantly recalls the feel of them this morning.
“You should go,” you say, forcing your voice steady.
He doesn’t move. “Should I?” His tone is low, casual, but the faint curl at the edge of his mouth tells you he’s anything but indifferent.
“The show’s about to start,” you murmur, fingers tightening around your clipboard. “But… I know you’ll do great.” Your voice softens, a playful lift at the end, trying to tease and reassure all at once.
He steps closer—just enough to blur the air between you, the faint scent of his cologne curling around your senses. It’s fresh, warm, intoxicating.
“I remember you didn’t push me away earlier,” he murmurs, eyes fixed on yours. “Still thinking about how sweet your lips were.”
You blink, heat rushing to your cheeks. “That was—”
“A mistake?” he finishes, leaning in just enough for you to feel his breath on your cheek. “You don’t look like you believe that.”
Your pulse hammers. You should step back, speak, do anything—but your feet stay rooted.
The crowd outside roars again, the bass vibrating through the walls, but here in this narrow backstage strip, the world narrows to just him.
“You’re late,” you murmur softly, your voice quieter than you intend.
“So make me leave,” he challenges, stepping closer, close enough that the heat of his body brushes yours.
Your breath hitches. “You think I won’t?”
He smiles—not wide, but slow, teasing, burning. “I think you don’t want to.”
The words hit you, dangerous and intoxicating. He slides his hands to your waist, pulling you gently toward him. His lips brush yours in a kiss bolder and more daring than this morning’s, lingering just long enough to leave your chest and stomach aflame.
When he finally pulls back, his voice drops, rougher and husky. “I’ll see you after.”
Then he’s gone—slipping past the curtain, swallowed by the stage lights and the roar of the crowd—leaving you standing there, heart hammering, lips tingling, legs weak, every nerve alight.

SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN
Abby Saja x Fem! Reader
The lights of the award stage were still dazzling in your eyes when you caught sight of him. Abby, freshly descended from the stage with the other Saja Boys, his chest still rising fast, the damp sheen of sweat glinting under the spotlights. He looked like he’d just stepped straight out of a fever dream made flesh—broad shoulders under a shirt that clung indecently tight to the sculpt of his torso, abs flexing every time he breathed in, veins still standing at his forearms from the adrenaline of performing.
You’d known him since his debut, since the day pink-haired Abby had locked eyes with you across a crowded room and smirked like he already knew what you tasted like. Since then, it had been endless games of flirtation—snide comments, too-long glances, little provocations passed back and forth until the other boys were rolling their eyes, muttering for Abby to do more than just talk.
Tonight, you could feel every ounce of that tension return tenfold. Because when he came down those stairs, catching your gaze, he didn’t look like an idol anymore. He looked like sin in motion.
Your thighs pressed together before you could stop them. Heat coiled low in your belly, your corset squeezing tighter with every shallow breath. The skirt you wore felt too short, indecent even, your breasts pushed dangerously high against the boning. And the more you let your eyes linger on him—the way his shirt stuck to his skin, the way his mouth parted slightly as he caught his breath—the more vivid the images in your head became.
You pictured his hands on you, palms spreading your thighs, mouth at your chest, tongue working until you came undone on nothing but his lips. You imagined his abs slick with sweat under your hands while his cock split you wide open, imagined his voice wrecked and low in your ear, whispering filth until you couldn’t take anymore.
Your cheeks burned. Your thighs clenched harder. The wetness gathering between them was impossible to ignore.
And Abby—of course he noticed. His kind of supernatural senses made sure of it. The moment his boots hit the floor, his nose flared just slightly, pupils darkening as the scent of your arousal reached him. He dragged his gaze down the length of you, stopping unapologetically at the swell of your tits straining against the corset. His jaw flexed.
He looked like a man starved.
By the time he was in front of you, you barely had the strength to keep your composure.
“Fuck,” he muttered low, voice so deep it curled in your stomach. “Look at you. Dressed like that—just for me?”
You swallowed, trying for playful, but your voice betrayed you with its tremor. “Don’t flatter yourself.”
Abby smirked, leaning down just enough for only you to hear. “Sweetheart, I don’t need to. I can smell how much you want me.” His eyes flicked deliberately between your legs. “Almost dripping through your pretty little panties already, huh?”
Your face went hot. You reached blindly for the glass of water on the table beside you, desperate for a distraction. Anything to cool the fire crawling up your skin. You lifted it, tipped it back—but as you lowered it, a droplet escaped, sliding down your jaw, across your throat, and slipping between the curve of your breasts.
Abby’s restraint snapped.
In one swift movement, his hand was at your wrist, firm and unyielding, dragging you before you could protest. He maneuvered you with ease, slipping past busy crew members without a second glance, shoving open the door of your assigned dressing room. The lock clicked into place behind you, and suddenly, your back hit the wall.
“Abby—” You barely got his name out before his mouth was on yours.
It wasn’t a kiss—it was a claim. His lips devoured yours, tongue pushing past your parted mouth like he owned it. The taste of him flooded you—heat, hunger, need. His body pressed tight to yours, his chest like steel as he caged you against the wall. His hands gripped your thighs, hauling you up with effortless strength until your legs wrapped instinctively around his waist.
That’s when you felt it—thick, hard, the bulge of his cock grinding against your soaked panties. You gasped into the kiss, and Abby growled, deep and primal, pressing harder so you felt every inch of him through the thin barrier.
The kiss turned messy fast—teeth clashing, tongues tangling, saliva slicking your lips. You moaned, a sound swallowed by his mouth, and his grip on your thighs tightened.
Then—knock knock.
The two of you froze, still panting into each other’s mouths.
“Y/N, you’re on in ten minutes!” a voice called from the other side of the door.
Your lungs seized. Somehow, you forced out, “Of course! I’ll be there!” The words wavered, shaky with the arousal still coursing through you.
The staffer’s footsteps faded. Abby chuckled against your throat.
“Ten minutes?” His teeth grazed your ear. “Good. I only need seven.”
Before you could respond, he claimed your mouth again, hungrier than before. One of your hands scrambled to unbutton his shirt, tugging desperately at the fabric. The moment your fingers brushed over his chest, hard muscle beneath, he groaned deep.
“Goddamn,” he rasped, breaking the kiss just enough to smirk down at you. “So desperate you can’t wait, huh?”
Your hips shifted against his, seeking friction, and a strangled moan slipped out. “Please…”
That was all he needed.
Abby carried you to the sofa, dropping down with you astride his lap. The new angle had you gasping, your clothed cunt pressed directly against the thick length straining his pants. You rocked instinctively, grinding down, every drag sending sparks up your spine.
He kissed you again—sloppy, consuming—before his hand slid between you. Fingers traced up your thigh, under your dress, finding the drenched fabric of your panties. He groaned the second he touched them.
“Fuck, you’re soaked.” His fingers pushed past the barrier, finally meeting your heat. The thick pad of one slid through your folds, gathering your wetness, and you choked on a moan.
Your body arched, back curving, nails digging into his shoulders. His fingers circled your clit once, slow and deliberate, before pressing two inside you. The stretch stole your breath—thick and filling, even just his fingers.
“Abby—”
He leaned in, lips at your throat. “Tight little hole,” he muttered against your skin, pumping slow at first. “Gripping me like you don’t want me to leave.”
You whimpered, head falling back. The pace quickened, his fingers curling just right, brushing your walls until your hips bucked uncontrollably.
“That’s it, baby. Ride my hand like the needy slut you are.”
Tears pricked your eyes from the overwhelming sensation, every thrust dragging you closer. His free hand squeezed your ass, guiding your movements as you ground down harder.
“Gonna cum, huh? Gonna cream all over my fingers before I even get this cock inside you?” His tongue traced hot along your collarbone. “Do it. Show me how good you can be.”
The knot in your stomach coiled tight, seconds from snapping—
And then his fingers slipped free.
You cried out, clenching around nothing, tears of frustration spilling.
Abby only smirked, licking your arousal from his fingers slowly, theatrically. “Sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted.” He caught your chin, kissed you hard, making you taste yourself on his tongue.
Your hands scrambled for his chest again, but he caught them easily, pinning them behind your back with one big hand.
“No time for that.” His eyes burned into yours. “I’m gonna fuck you with my cock, and you’re gonna take it like a good girl. You’ll cum when I say you can cum. Understand?”
You nodded frantically. “Yes—yes, Abby.”
“Good.” He freed his belt, pants sliding low enough to free his cock. Your breath hitched.
It was monstrous—thick, veiny, flushed an angry red at the tip, already dripping with pre-cum.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart,” he murmured, lining himself up. “We’ll make it fit.”
His hands gripped your waist, lowering you slowly. The blunt head pressed to your entrance, stretching you inch by inch. You gasped, covering your mouth, body trembling at the burn and the unbearable fullness.
“That’s it,” Abby grunted, voice wrecked. “Take it all. Take every inch.”
By the time you were seated fully, cock buried to the base inside you, you were clinging to him like you might fall apart. The stretch was dizzying, the weight of him filling you completely.
Abby’s forehead pressed to yours, breath ragged. “Fuck, baby. This pussy—so tight around me. You’re perfect.”
The slow grind turned brutal fast. His grip on your waist tightened, lifting you, slamming you back down, fucking you onto him with ruthless strength. The room filled with the sounds of your choked moans, the wet slap of skin, his guttural groans in your ear.
You tried to muffle your cries against his shoulder, but Abby caught your jaw, forcing your eyes on him. “No hiding. I want to hear you scream for me.”
You shattered under him. Every thrust hit deeper, harder, angled to drag against the spot inside that made your vision blur. Tears spilled freely as you babbled incoherently—“so big, so good, don’t stop—”
“Yeah, that’s it,” Abby growled, sweat dripping from his temple. “My perfect little slut. Milking my cock like you were made for it.”
The pressure built, unbearable, your body tensing as you fell apart around him.
“Abby, I’m—I’m gonna—”
“Cum.” His teeth sank into your shoulder, muffling his own groan. “Cum on my cock, baby. Make a mess all over me.”
The orgasm tore through you, violent and blinding, your cunt clamping down on him with spasms so tight it dragged a broken shout from his chest.
“Fuck—” His hips stuttered, burying himself deep as he spilled inside you, hot and heavy, filling you to the brim.
For a moment, silence. Just harsh breaths, your trembling body pressed against his.
You lifted your head, eyes glassy, lips parted. Abby smirked, pressing a messy kiss to your swollen mouth. “You’re incredible.”
Knock knock.
“Y/N, two minutes!” someone shouted before walking away.
Abby chuckled darkly. “See? Only took seven.”
You smacked his shoulder weakly, laughing breathlessly. He helped you off his lap, fixed your dress with skilled fingers, wiped the mess from your thighs with a tissue. Within seconds, you looked flawless again—like nothing had happened.
Except for the way your legs trembled when you stood.
Abby tucked a stray strand of hair behind your ear, kissed you one more time, slow and heated. “I expect that performance to be for me.”
You grinned, voice still husky. “Maybe. But if you want something special…” You leaned in, whispering, “…come to my place tonight. I’ve got a few moves of my own.”
With a wink, you swept out of the room, leaving Abby sitting there—already hardening again.

Fanfic writing is 50% actually writing and 50% staring at the screen whispering ‘how do words work again’?
It is also:
10% googling “synonyms for said”
15% contemplating your life choices
20% changing one sentence 37 times and then changing it back
25% “research” (aka wikipedia rabbit hole until 4am)
30% crying because the scene was better in your head

N/A: I’m so sorry for what’s coming… truly. But it’s 100% necessary for the plot. Grab your tissues, hold onto your hearts, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. 🥀🔥
Once again, thank you so much for all the love and support, you guys have no idea how much it means to me. To everyone following along: I adore you endlessly.
Tumblr media
You’re walking through the city with the girls, trying not to look suspicious, which ironically makes you look a little more suspicious. Everyone’s in deep disguise mode.
Rumi is practically swimming in a hoodie so oversized, her face disappears inside the hood. Zoey’s rocking a yellow bucket hat and an oversized jacket like she’s hiding from paparazzi. Mira —well, Mira's dressed like she’s going jogging at midnight: white button-up, loose joggers, black cap. They’d all blend in, if they weren’t walking in a nervous clump, whispering and glancing around every few seconds.
You're the only one who looks... well, like yourself. A soft, summery dress that flatters your skin tone and makes your hair shine. You'd even put on a little makeup—just enough to make your features pop, nothing obvious. The girls noticed, of course, but said nothing. Not aloud anyway.
Meanwhile, your phone's been buzzing with messages since morning.
Work in progress 🎨🎤
Mistery 10:05
No one is allowed to breathe on the jackets today. I swear.
Abby. 10:05
too late. Romance sneezed near mine
Romance 10:06
your jacket liked it.
Baby 10:06
We're ready. You're coming, right?
Jinu 10:06
Plz confirm before I let Abby wear glitter eyeliner.
You 10:07
Don't you dare. I'm on my way.
You smile, lock your phone, and slip it into your bag just as Zoey launches into another excited monologue.
“He’s got this special tonic,” she says in a half-whisper, eyes gleaming. “Apparently it can cure everything. Sore throats. Broken hearts. Probably even situationships.”
“Shhh! Quietly, Zoey,” Rumi hisses.
“Why are there so many people today?” Mira mutters, scanning the street.
Zoey nods toward an alley. “It’s this way.”
You follow, heels echoing softly on the pavement. Just before you turn the corner, a new poster catches your eye—FREE SAJA BOYS PERFORMANCE – TODAY—bright, bold, and glittering like it was made just for you.
You can’t help it. A smile creeps across your face.
The others miss it, too caught up in their own nerves, as you arrive in front of a cozy-looking building with hand-painted lettering that reads: Doctor Han: Healing Arts
Mira folds her arms. “Yep. About as legit as I expected.”
“At least it’s not a back-alley butcher shop,” you offer, stepping toward the door.
Rumi sniffs the air. “Earthy... and herby. Sounds legit to me.”
“That’s the spirit!” Zoey chirps.
“Let’s go before someone sees us,” Mira adds.
Inside, Rumi heads into the consultation room while you, Mira, and Zoey linger in the waiting area. You catch Zoey giving Rumi a ridiculously enthusiastic thumbs-up. Rumi just grimaces and disappears inside.
Minutes pass.
Then the doctor appears—a short, spritely man with a gentle face and sharp, unreadable eyes.
“Rumi-nim. Sit. Sit,” he says, gesturing. “No need for introductions. So. A problem with your voice?”
“Yes!” Zoey cuts in. “So we need one of your famous tonics. Something strong. Something fast.”
The doctor hums, then leans in close to Rumi.
“Ah!”
“In order to heal a part,” he murmurs, “we must understand the whole.”
Rumi looks at him, wary. “Uh...”
His eyes widen, studying her.
“I see. I see... no, actually... I don’t see. Very strange. You have many walls up.”
Zoey gasps. “He’s so good, right?”
“So many walls,” the doctor repeats.
“I don’t have walls!” Rumi protests.
You lean over, gently taking her hand. “Rumi, I love you, which is why I’m holding your hand when I say this... but yes. You do.”
“She really does,” Mira agrees, deadpan. “He’s good.”
“I’m just focused,” Rumi grumbles.
“Focus is good,” Healer Han says, “but too much focus on one thing leads to disconnection. You lose the whole picture. You become... isolated.”
“Emotionally closed off?” Zoey adds.
“Exactly!”
“She’s also a workaholic who doesn’t know how to relax,” Mira chimes in.
“I do know how to relax!”
You tilt your head. “Then why do you collapse dramatically on the couch like a telenovela character every other night?”
The doctor hums again. “I bet she refuses to go to the bathhouse.”
“Oh my god,” Zoey says, “YES!”
“Even i have gone,” you add. “More than once.”
Rumi spins around. “How do you even—”
“We’ve all tried to take her, ” Zoey says.
“Forever,” you, Mira, and Zoey echo in unison.
Rumi groans. “How is any of this helping?”
“It’s helping me a lot” Mira says
“I can’t believe he got all of that just from looking at her,” Zoey whispers.
The doctor turns to Zoey, eyes narrowing.
“Uh-oh,” she squeaks. “Why are you looking at me?”
“Eagerness to please,” he says solemnly. “Perhaps too eager.”
“What?! I’m not like that! Right? You’d tell me if I was like that, right?”
You raise a hand, wiggle it side to side: so-so. Her eyes widen in mock betrayal.
Then he looks at Mira.
She stares back, unimpressed.
The doctor flinches.
“That’s what I thought,” Mira says, satisfied.
And then his gaze lands on you.
You sit a little straighter. Try to breathe normally. His eyes are gentle—but there's something piercing behind them, like he’s reading your thoughts.
“I see... security issues,” he murmurs. “Perfectionism. Possibly bordering on obsessive.”
You freeze.
But before the silence stretches too long, Rumi blurts, “How is this helping my voice?!”
The doctor blinks and claps his hands. “Yes, yes! As I said. To treat the part, we must understand the whole.”
Rumi crosses her arms. “I thought we just needed one of your miracle tonics.”
Mira leans on the desk. “Just give us the voice juice, Doc.”
He chuckles. “Ah... I know exactly what you need.”
---
A little while later, you’re back in the reception area. Rumi’s still inside, picking up her tonics. Zoey and Mira flank you on either side as your phone buzzes.
Work in progress 🎨🎤
Jinu 10:38
We’re here. Meet us when you can.
You smile and start typing back.
You 10:39
On my way. Wait for me
“I’ll catch up with you girls in the plaza,” you say. “I have to go meet someone.”
They raise their brows in sync.
“What are you going to show us?” Zoey asks.
You just grin and wiggle your fingers as you walk off. “It’s a surprise”
You slip through the alley and turn the corner onto the main street. One block. That’s all it takes.
And there they are.
The boys.
Even though you knew what they’d be wearing—even though you designed their outfits—nothing prepares you for seeing them like this. The styling. The confidence. The way they glow under the afternoon light.
Your boys.
The words echo unexpectedly in your head.
Your boys?
They weren’t yours. Not really. And yet... your brain insisted.
A warm memory rushes back—Abby’s lips brushing your cheek. Mistery’s kiss on your lips. You feel the blush creep up before you can stop it.
Apparently, you’re staring, because Romance catches your gaze and smirks.
“Want a picture, gorgeous?” he says. “It lasts longer.” He winks.
You blink and stumble out of your daze, face burning. The others notice immediately, grinning like they know exactly what you were thinking.
You try to play it cool. Focus on their outfits. You straighten a sleeve here, tug at a hem there. They let you fuss, saying nothing, but the way they watch you makes it impossible to hide your smile.
Once you’re done, Jinu gestures toward the plaza.
“Go find a good spot. Somewhere we can see you.”
The blush comes back instantly.
They start to move, but not before each one says goodbye in their own way.
Jinu leans in and kisses the top of your head.
Abby wraps you in a warm hug, pressing a kiss to your cheek.
Romance takes your hand and kisses it slow— too slow.
Mistery slides behind you, arms looping around your waist, lips brushing the base of your ear. “Don’t forget to watch me,” he whispers.
And then there’s Baby.
He doesn’t move.
The others begin walking, but he lingers. Watching you.
That gaze. It’s steady. It burns through every layer of your composure.
You barely register your own breath as he steps close, eyes flicking down to your lips—then back to your eyes.
And then he kisses you.
Soft. Warm. Deliberate. A whisper of a kiss, but enough to steal the breath from your lungs.
He pulls back just enough to murmur, “Just for good luck.”
And before you can say anything, he’s gone—walking away with his hands in his pockets like nothing happened.
You stand there, heart thudding in your chest, hand rising instinctively to touch your lips.
And you smile deciding to head to the plaza before the crowd arrives. Your cheeks are still warm, and that silly grin simply won't leave your face. You retrace your steps in reverse, weaving through familiar streets until you arrive. The plaza is already alive: people browsing shops and stalls, others clutching concert flyers as they wait. You can feel the thrill buzzing around.
You find a spot just off-center from where the stage will be set up. Not quite middle, but close enough that you can feel the energy. You check your phone: 10:58 AM They could start any second. You feel like you're about to debut—especially since your outfit practically is performing.
Then your phone buzzes. A message from Jinu pops up
Every beat, every step—it’s all yours. We’re performing for you.
Your skin prickles with goosebumps, and you’re burning up again.Before you can even blush, the music hits.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey!
The volume swells, and pink smoke billows toward the sky. The plaza pulses with sudden excitement. And then they appear—five silhouettes stepping into the haze, electric and alive.
Don’t want you, need you. Yeah, I need you to fill me up! Masigo maysyeo bwa do...
Their voices wash over you—crisp, clean, melodic. Even though you've heard the demo, this is different. This is visceral. This is they’re really here.
Got a feeling that, oh yeah. You could be everything that I need! Taste so sweet
Your chest tightens: yes, your ego swells just a little, proud that you helped make this synchronization possible.
Makes me want more.
Looking like snacks!
You got it like that!
Take a big bite, want another bite! Neoui modeungeol nan wonhae!
Neomalgon modu peonhae, peonhae…
They lock eyes with you, all five of them, as they hit that chorus together—a collective smile slowing everything down.
Can’t let go, no, no, not tonight.
Jigeum dangiang nal. Bwa shigan eobtjana.
Your feet start moving, almost involuntarily—tiny sway, gentle side-to-side rhythm matching the beat.
Neon naegeoya imi algo itjana.
Cause I need you to need me.
I’m empty, you feed me. So refreshing!
My little soda pop!
Nearby, Rumi, Zoey, and Mira are in the crowd, watching warily. They remembered the strange run-in in the alley earlier—that left a bitter taste.
But the boys just keep singing:
You’re all I can think of. Every drop I drink up. You’re my soda pop. My little soda pop. Cool me down, you’re so hot. Pour me up, I won’t stop! You’re my soda pop.
Zoey can't fight it—she starts dancing. Rumi and Mira shoot daggers until she freezes like she’s been electrocuted.
Rumi mutters, “It is annoyingly catchy, though.”
Mira adds, “It’s infectious.”
That’s when Mira sees you, swaying at the front, utterly absorbed. She blurts, “What...?” and signals. Zoey and Rumi follow her gaze.
They see the boys blow kisses to fans, form hearts with their hands. Mira snatches a heart from the air just as one of them flings a flower your way—you catch it with a bright smile.
Mira gasps, “They can make hearts out of thin air? And a flower? For my sister?”
All of them freeze when they notice subtle glowing marks on the boys’ arms—like faint, pulsing runes.
Together they whisper, “They’re demons.”
Zoey whispers back, “Magicians! Demons. Obviously demons.”
Mira’s face drains: “Wait a damn minute.” She shifts her gaze between you and the stage faster and faster. “Oh no.”
Confusion ripples through Rumi and Zoey.
Mira says, voice tight: “Look at the clothes… the style… the accessories… the way they look at her, toss her flowers. She designed that.”
Shock turns to horror.
All of a sudden, the music builds into Baby’s rap:
Make me wanna flip the top! Han mogeume, you hit the spot!
Every little drip and drop, fizz and pop. Soreum doda, it’s gettin’ hot
Zoey breathes out, “Dang, they’re good.”
Rumi whispers, “Incredible. But a demon boy band? Why?”
Mira snarls, “I don’t care. A demon’s a demon. We should handle them—especially near Y/N.”
Rumi shakes her head, “No. Too public.”
Mira presses on, “What if they hurt these people? Or worse—hurt my sister?”
Zoey softens: “Look at her. She’s smiling. They aren’t hurting anyone.”
They turn again. You're completely engrossed—counting steps in your head, syncing movements. The crowd loves them. You set that in motion. A rush of pride floods you.
The final chorus echoes:
Nan jeoldae notchil su eopseo.
Zoey murmurs: “Actually…it almost seems like they’re nice demons?”
Rumi and Mira: “Demons are never nice!”
And then the finale unfolds: they ascend on a massive soda-can platform that appears to rise out of nowhere—you can’t even register how. It’s surreal and brilliant, cementing the magic of the moment.
Pour me up, I won’t stop! You’re my soda pop. My little soda pop. You’re my soda pop! Gotta drink every drop!
They hit the final pose. The plaza erupts—applause, cheers, whistles. Even you are standing, clapping wildly.
They wave at the crowd, but their eyes— always find yours.
Finally, Jinu leans into the mic: “That’s it for now. See you tonight on everyone’s favorite variety show.” The crowd roars as the screen behind them lights up with the show’s logo. “Saja Boys love you!”
Then—puff. Pink smoke engulfs them. And when it clears, they’re gone. You stare at the empty stage, heart racing. No one warned you about the disappearing act, but it was amazing to see.
You were just about to leave the plaza to look for the boys, when your eyes caught a familiar trio standing in the middle of it. Mira. Zoey. Rumi.
You hadn’t seen them arrive, and the sight of them now made you light up instinctively. The rush of the showcase still pulsed through your body like static, and seeing your friends only amplified the high.
You approached them with a radiant smile, practically glowing.
“Did you see the performance?” you asked, breathless, excitement curling every word. “Weren’t the boys amazing?”
For a moment, none of them responded. And maybe if you hadn’t been so euphoric, you would’ve noticed the tension in their stances, the subtle sharpness in their gazes. But you were too full of adrenaline and joy to register the silence as anything more than surprise.
It was Mira who finally broke it, her voice clipped and cold.
“So this was the big secret you’ve been keeping from us?”
You blinked at her tone. It hit like a splash of cold water, cutting straight through the warmth inside you. But still, you didn’t let your smile fall—at least not yet.
“I wasn’t hiding it,” you said with a small laugh, trying to make sense of her reaction. “I just wanted you to see the final result first. You know, like a reveal.”
“Didn’t look like a reveal,” she muttered, crossing her arms.
You frowned slightly, confusion stirring in your chest. “You didn’t like it?”
“It’s not that, Y/N,” Zoey interjected gently, stepping forward and placing a hand on your shoulder. “It’s just... those guys give us a weird feeling.”
You gave a quiet “Oh,” and the smile on your face softened, faltering slightly but still there. “I mean, they can seem intense, sure. But they’re just goofballs, really. Goofballs in attractive packaging.”
You chuckled at your own joke, expecting at least a small laugh. None came.
Instead, Mira raised an eyebrow and said, “You sure seem to know them well.”
That one cut deeper than you were ready for. The way she said it wasn’t neutral—it was accusatory, laced with something bitter.
Your smile dropped.
“Okay... what’s your problem?” you asked, voice flat, a warning edge creeping in. “They’re not bad people. They’ve been respectful, kind, and they practically begged me to help them this week. I don't see the issue.”
“You’ve been helping them for days?” Mira’s voice, still hushed for the sake of the crowd, was sharp enough to wound. “Do you even think before you throw yourself into these things? About the consequences?”
That stung. Her disappointment wasn’t quiet anymore—it was cold and razor-like. You felt the first cracks forming in your chest, confusion mixing with something else: hurt.
“I didn’t throw myself into anything,” you snapped. “They asked for help. I agreed. It’s literally part of my job to support artists. You know that.”
“But this isn’t your job, is it?” Mira’s eyes narrowed. “You’re working for HUNTR/X. That was the plan. That’s the job we fought for. What the hell is this moonlighting for some underground boy group?”
“It is still my job,” you fired back. “This is my second gig. Not that I needed your permission.”
Zoey and Rumi exchanged uneasy glances, trying to defuse the tension with half-whispers of your names, but it was like gasoline to flame. You weren’t going to let it go—not now. Not when Mira looked at you like you were a disappointment.
“This is why Mom and Dad always had to keep you on a leash,” Mira muttered, not quite loud enough for others to hear—but just loud enough to shatter something inside you.
You felt your breath catch in your chest.
There it was. The thing you worked so hard to outgrow, weaponized in five words.
Your past.
The endless rules, the suffocating standards, the way they micromanaged your passions until they bled dry. Mira was the golden child. You were the wild one. The mess. The liability.
“You think this is about them?” you hissed, suddenly trembling. “You think this is me rebelling again, like I’m some kind of reckless kid? I’m doing something I love. For once. I’m good at it.”
“They’ll use you up, just like everyone else has,” she spat. “But maybe that’s what you want. Someone else telling you who to be so you don’t have to figure it out for yourself.”
It hit harder than you expected. The anger in her voice. The lack of faith.
A sudden pressure built behind your eyes, your pulse quickening as the weight in your chest became unbearable. Something dark slithered through your thoughts like smoke, thick and nauseating. It was the same feeling from the nightmare—the same dread curling up from your stomach like something was poisoning you from the inside.
“She’s just mad she can’t control you anymore.”
The voice wasn’t your own.
It slithered in, soft but clear, as if whispered directly into your ear. And then it vanished, like breath on glass, but left your body cold and aching.
Your vision blurred. Your mouth trembled.
“You know what?” you whispered, and there was steel in your tone. “Maybe you’re just mad that I’m doing fine without your approval.”
Mira’s jaw tightened. “Fine? You’re not fine, Y/N. You’ve been pretending for so long, you probably believe it.”
That one landed like a knife. You could see Zoey flinch. Rumi looked away entirely.
You felt the tears before they reached your lashes. And you didn’t want them to see. You couldn’t let them see.
So you just nodded once—slow, deliberate—and turned on your heel.
“Y/N, wait—” Zoey called after you, stepping forward.
But Mira’s arm blocked her. “Let her go.”
You didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop.
The moment you stepped away from them, the tears spilled freely, hot and silent. Your chest heaved as you hurried through the plaza, hands clenched into fists, head down.
The words—hers and the other one’s—churned in your skull like boiling water. You didn’t know what was worse: Mira’s disappointment, or the quiet whisper that maybe she was right.
You could barely see.
The world was just lights and shadows until you slammed into something solid.
“Shit—sorry, I—” you stammered, trying to wipe your face, to breathe, but the sob broke through instead.
“Y/N?”
You froze.
That voice.
Warm. Worried.
You looked up—barely—and saw him.
Romance.
His expression changed the moment he saw your face. He didn’t hesitate. Just opened his arms and pulled you in.
You didn’t even think. You clung to him like a lifeline, like he was the only solid thing in a world spinning too fast. Your face pressed into his chest, your fingers fisted the fabric of his shirt, and his scent—cologne and something sweeter, like fruit and spice—was all around you.
He wrapped one arm tightly around your waist, the other moving gently to the back of your head. He didn’t ask questions. He just held you. Rocked you a little. His breath calm against your temple, like a metronome.
“Hey,” he murmured, his voice a quiet comfort. “You’re okay. I’ve got you. I’m here.”
The sobs quieted into hiccups. Then into soft, shaky breaths.
You didn’t move.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked softly, not pushing, just offering.
“Not yet,” you whispered.
He nodded, chin brushing your hair. “Okay. No rush.”
A pause.
“We were looking for you, you know,” he added gently. “After the showcase. We waited for you.”
You nodded into his chest, too tired to speak.
“Come on,” he said, his hand still at your waist as he started walking with you. “Let’s get you home. The others are waiting.”
You didn’t know if he meant the boys or something else. But for now, his warmth and the steady beat of his heart were enough.
You let him guide you.
---
The walk with Romance was silent.
He didn’t let go of you, but he didn’t push you to speak either. His arm stayed firmly wrapped around your shoulders, his fingers lightly stroking your arm in slow, soothing motions. You weren’t sobbing anymore, but the tears kept falling—hot, steady, and endless—as they traced your cheeks.
Your mind spun with Mira’s words. Her tone. The way she’d looked at you.
She had never looked at you like that before.
That disappointment in her eyes—it echoed something too familiar. Something you’d only ever seen in your mother’s face. And that comparison alone sent a chill through your entire body.
But even through the ache, even through the sting of her words, you didn’t regret anything. Not one part of your performance. You were proud of what you’d done. Proud of how the boys looked in your designs. Proud that, for once, you’d stepped into your light.
Oh God. Your boys.
There it was again—that possessiveness swelling in your chest, raw and tender. A claim you didn’t feel you deserved. Mira said they’d only use you. That this was all a game.
But how could those boys—those sweet, chaotic, gentle boys who’d treated you with so much kindness—ever do something like that?
You glanced at Romance beside you. His presence was grounding. His warmth seeped into you as he guided you gently through the city streets, one hand still softly rubbing your arm. He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to. The care in his silence was louder than anything.
He wouldn’t hurt you.
You repeated that thought to yourself like a quiet mantra.
They wouldn’t
Romance glanced at you every so often, his heart twisting each time he caught the devastation on your face—your cheeks blotchy from crying, your eyes dull, your lips trembling. Just an hour ago, you’d been glowing. You’d been the brightest light in the room.
He couldn’t stop replaying it: how beautiful you looked on that plaza. How shyly you had smiled when you saw them, your cheeks warm and flushed in that delicate dress. He’d never seen anyone radiate like you did in that moment.
And now… this.
He didn’t know what had happened, but someone had stolen that light from you.
And he’d destroy them for it.
You didn’t even notice when you reached the boys’ penthouse. The soft chime of the elevator pulled you from your daze.
The doors opened, and the scene in front of you felt like walking into a painting. The boys were all lounging across the massive cream-toned sofa. Baby was stretched out horizontally, his head in Mystery’s lap as the latter absentmindedly played with his hair. Baby’s legs rested on Jinu’s thighs, who didn’t seem bothered in the slightest and was instead half-leaning against Abby, scrolling through something on his phone.
The moment the elevator chimed, though, all of them looked up.
And the moment they saw you, they froze. The concern hit instantly.
They all jumped up at once, voices overlapping as they rushed toward you—
“Y/N, what happened—”
“Are you okay?”
“Who the fuck—?”
Romance raised a hand, his face stern.
“She’ll talk when she’s ready.”
They quieted, but the worry didn’t leave their faces.
He guided you past them, down the long hallway. He paused in front of a door you had never been through before. When he opened it, you knew instantly: it was his room.
You never imagined yourself stepping inside it, but somehow, it looked exactly like you pictured. Neat, organized. Creams and warm beige, soft light filtering through tall windows. The kind of peaceful space that could swallow your chaos whole.
He sat you on the bed.
“I’ll be right back,” he said gently.
You heard the door close. Then faint voices outside—just murmurs.
When he returned, he held a glass of water in his hand. He offered it to you and sat beside you while you drank it in a single gulp, not realizing how thirsty you were.
“Thanks,” you murmured, voice barely audible.
He gave you a small smile and reached for your hand, lacing your fingers together with a soft pressure.
“Do you want to talk about what happened?”
You didn’t. Saying it aloud would make it real. But if you didn’t let it out, it would fester, swirl, drown you in your own thoughts.
You exhaled shakily.
“After you guys disappeared—thanks for ditching me, by the way,” you added with a hollow laugh. He smiled, just a flicker. “I saw Mira and the girls. I was so excited to tell her about the contract with you, to show off how proud I was of your outfits. And…”
He tilted his head. “Wait—your sister didn’t know you were working with us?”
You froze. “No.”
“What? Why?”
You got up, started pacing. “Mira gets… territorial with her things. And if I told her I wanted another job to get more experience, she’d insist on finding one for me. I didn’t want this to come from her. I wanted it to be because of me. Just Y/N, the designer. Not ‘Mira’s little sister.’”
“You’re not an object, Y/N,” Romance said, his voice low. “You’re not a pair of shoes for her to be jealous of. We hired you because you’re good at what you do.”
His chest tightened at his own words.
Because it wasn’t the whole truth.
Yes, they’d seen your talent. But it wasn’t why they came after you. Not at first. Not when they realized who your sister was. Guilt thudded in his chest.
He said nothing more. Just let you speak.
“I thought she’d be proud. I really did. I thought—after everything—I thought she’d look at me and see someone she could be proud of. But instead…”
You swallowed, then continued, your voice cracking.
“She looked at me like I’d betrayed her. She said I was selfish. That I always had to be the center of attention. That I lied to her. And when I tried to explain why, she said I’d only ever get hurt by you guys. That I was too naive to see I was being used.”
The tears started again, hot and fast.
“I told her she was just mad because I didn’t need her anymore. And she—she said, ‘You're right. You don’t. So don’t come running when they drop you.’”
Your breath hitched. Your head throbbed. That voice—the whisper you’d heard before—began again. Hissing, twisting inside your mind, like venom threading through your veins.
You clutched your temples.
“I—can’t—breathe—”
Romance moved instantly.
“Hey. Hey, Y/N—look at me.”
You couldn’t. Your vision blurred, your lips trembling as you tried to form words that wouldn’t come.
He took your hands, pressed one flat against his chest. His heartbeat thudded against your palm.
“Feel that? Breathe with me, okay?”
He brought both hands to your cheeks, forcing you to meet his eyes. His touch was gentle, grounding.
“Just breathe. That’s it. I’ve got you.”
You let the air come in uneven bursts, your fingers curling slightly into his shirt as he held you steady.
“There you are,” he whispered. “That’s it. You’re okay. You’re safe.”
You didn’t know how long you stayed like that, forehead pressed against his, his hand cradling your cheek. But your body began to loosen, the pain in your head slowly fading into the background.
When your breathing calmed, he didn’t move. His voice was barely above a whisper.
“You didn’t deserve that. Any of it.”
You swallowed, blinking up at him, your face flushed.
“I just wanted to make her proud,” you whispered.
“I’m proud of you.”
You froze.
He leaned in a little closer, his eyes burning into yours.
“You don’t need to earn your worth by proving yourself to anyone. You already matter. You already shine.”
He said it like a vow, like it was undeniable truth.
And in that moment, for the first time in what felt like forever—you believed it.
You let your forehead rest against his. He didn’t pull away.
His thumb traced your jaw. “Can I hold you?”
You nodded.
He pulled you into him, both arms wrapping around your waist, your legs tucked over his lap, your body melting into his warmth. You buried your face into his neck, the scent of his cologne soft and familiar, his heart steady beneath your ear.
Neither of you spoke for a long time.
The silence and warmth of Romance wrapped around you, seeping into every corner of your tired body. Nothing else mattered—only the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath your cheek and the way his hand cradled the back of your head. It made you feel safe in a way you didn’t know you still needed.
You weren’t sure if it was the weight of all the emotions from the past hour or the exhaustion from crying so much, but your eyelids grew heavy, the pull of sleep becoming impossible to resist.
Romance noticed, his voice dropping to a soft whisper. “Rest. We still have time. I promise I’ll wake you up.”
You hummed in faint agreement, already more asleep than awake, and the last thing you registered before darkness claimed you was the sound of Romance humming a song you didn’t recognize—low, gentle, and just for you.

The lost sister 7
Saja boys x Mira’s sister! Reader
Pt.1 <- Pt.2 <- Pt.3 <- Pt.4 <- Pt.5 <- Pt.6 <- Pt. 7
W.C: 5200
Warnings: physical comfort, emotional vulnerability, angst, implied touch/intimacy, close physical proximity, protective behavior, mention of crying/tears, exhaustion, safe space themes.
N/A: I’m so sorry for what’s coming… truly. But it’s 100% necessary for the plot. Grab your tissues, hold onto your hearts, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. 🥀🔥
Once again, thank you so much for all the love and support, you guys have no idea how much it means to me. To everyone following along: I adore you endlessly.
Tumblr media
You’re walking through the city with the girls, trying not to look suspicious, which ironically makes you look a little more suspicious. Everyone’s in deep disguise mode.
Rumi is practically swimming in a hoodie so oversized, her face disappears inside the hood. Zoey’s rocking a yellow bucket hat and an oversized jacket like she’s hiding from paparazzi. Mira —well, Mira's dressed like she’s going jogging at midnight: white button-up, loose joggers, black cap. They’d all blend in, if they weren’t walking in a nervous clump, whispering and glancing around every few seconds.
You're the only one who looks... well, like yourself. A soft, summery dress that flatters your skin tone and makes your hair shine. You'd even put on a little makeup—just enough to make your features pop, nothing obvious. The girls noticed, of course, but said nothing. Not aloud anyway.
Meanwhile, your phone's been buzzing with messages since morning.
Work in progress 🎨🎤
Mistery 10:05
No one is allowed to breathe on the jackets today. I swear.
Abby. 10:05
too late. Romance sneezed near mine
Romance 10:06
your jacket liked it.
Baby 10:06
We're ready. You're coming, right?
Jinu 10:06
Plz confirm before I let Abby wear glitter eyeliner.
You 10:07
Don't you dare. I'm on my way.
You smile, lock your phone, and slip it into your bag just as Zoey launches into another excited monologue.
“He’s got this special tonic,” she says in a half-whisper, eyes gleaming. “Apparently it can cure everything. Sore throats. Broken hearts. Probably even situationships.”
“Shhh! Quietly, Zoey,” Rumi hisses.
“Why are there so many people today?” Mira mutters, scanning the street.
Zoey nods toward an alley. “It’s this way.”
You follow, heels echoing softly on the pavement. Just before you turn the corner, a new poster catches your eye—FREE SAJA BOYS PERFORMANCE – TODAY—bright, bold, and glittering like it was made just for you.
You can’t help it. A smile creeps across your face.
The others miss it, too caught up in their own nerves, as you arrive in front of a cozy-looking building with hand-painted lettering that reads: Doctor Han: Healing Arts
Mira folds her arms. “Yep. About as legit as I expected.”
“At least it’s not a back-alley butcher shop,” you offer, stepping toward the door.
Rumi sniffs the air. “Earthy... and herby. Sounds legit to me.”
“That’s the spirit!” Zoey chirps.
“Let’s go before someone sees us,” Mira adds.
Inside, Rumi heads into the consultation room while you, Mira, and Zoey linger in the waiting area. You catch Zoey giving Rumi a ridiculously enthusiastic thumbs-up. Rumi just grimaces and disappears inside.
Minutes pass.
Then the doctor appears—a short, spritely man with a gentle face and sharp, unreadable eyes.
“Rumi-nim. Sit. Sit,” he says, gesturing. “No need for introductions. So. A problem with your voice?”
“Yes!” Zoey cuts in. “So we need one of your famous tonics. Something strong. Something fast.”
The doctor hums, then leans in close to Rumi.
“Ah!”
“In order to heal a part,” he murmurs, “we must understand the whole.”
Rumi looks at him, wary. “Uh...”
His eyes widen, studying her.
“I see. I see... no, actually... I don’t see. Very strange. You have many walls up.”
Zoey gasps. “He’s so good, right?”
“So many walls,” the doctor repeats.
“I don’t have walls!” Rumi protests.
You lean over, gently taking her hand. “Rumi, I love you, which is why I’m holding your hand when I say this... but yes. You do.”
“She really does,” Mira agrees, deadpan. “He’s good.”
“I’m just focused,” Rumi grumbles.
“Focus is good,” Healer Han says, “but too much focus on one thing leads to disconnection. You lose the whole picture. You become... isolated.”
“Emotionally closed off?” Zoey adds.
“Exactly!”
“She’s also a workaholic who doesn’t know how to relax,” Mira chimes in.
“I do know how to relax!”
You tilt your head. “Then why do you collapse dramatically on the couch like a telenovela character every other night?”
The doctor hums again. “I bet she refuses to go to the bathhouse.”
“Oh my god,” Zoey says, “YES!”
“Even i have gone,” you add. “More than once.”
Rumi spins around. “How do you even—”
“We’ve all tried to take her, ” Zoey says.
“Forever,” you, Mira, and Zoey echo in unison.
Rumi groans. “How is any of this helping?”
“It’s helping me a lot” Mira says
“I can’t believe he got all of that just from looking at her,” Zoey whispers.
The doctor turns to Zoey, eyes narrowing.
“Uh-oh,” she squeaks. “Why are you looking at me?”
“Eagerness to please,” he says solemnly. “Perhaps too eager.”
“What?! I’m not like that! Right? You’d tell me if I was like that, right?”
You raise a hand, wiggle it side to side: so-so. Her eyes widen in mock betrayal.
Then he looks at Mira.
She stares back, unimpressed.
The doctor flinches.
“That’s what I thought,” Mira says, satisfied.
And then his gaze lands on you.
You sit a little straighter. Try to breathe normally. His eyes are gentle—but there's something piercing behind them, like he’s reading your thoughts.
“I see... security issues,” he murmurs. “Perfectionism. Possibly bordering on obsessive.”
You freeze.
But before the silence stretches too long, Rumi blurts, “How is this helping my voice?!”
The doctor blinks and claps his hands. “Yes, yes! As I said. To treat the part, we must understand the whole.”
Rumi crosses her arms. “I thought we just needed one of your miracle tonics.”
Mira leans on the desk. “Just give us the voice juice, Doc.”
He chuckles. “Ah... I know exactly what you need.”
---
A little while later, you’re back in the reception area. Rumi’s still inside, picking up her tonics. Zoey and Mira flank you on either side as your phone buzzes.
Work in progress 🎨🎤
Jinu 10:38
We’re here. Meet us when you can.
You smile and start typing back.
You 10:39
On my way. Wait for me
“I’ll catch up with you girls in the plaza,” you say. “I have to go meet someone.”
They raise their brows in sync.
“What are you going to show us?” Zoey asks.
You just grin and wiggle your fingers as you walk off. “It’s a surprise”
You slip through the alley and turn the corner onto the main street. One block. That’s all it takes.
And there they are.
The boys.
Even though you knew what they’d be wearing—even though you designed their outfits—nothing prepares you for seeing them like this. The styling. The confidence. The way they glow under the afternoon light.
Your boys.
The words echo unexpectedly in your head.
Your boys?
They weren’t yours. Not really. And yet... your brain insisted.
A warm memory rushes back—Abby’s lips brushing your cheek. Mistery’s kiss on your lips. You feel the blush creep up before you can stop it.
Apparently, you’re staring, because Romance catches your gaze and smirks.
“Want a picture, gorgeous?” he says. “It lasts longer.” He winks.
You blink and stumble out of your daze, face burning. The others notice immediately, grinning like they know exactly what you were thinking.
You try to play it cool. Focus on their outfits. You straighten a sleeve here, tug at a hem there. They let you fuss, saying nothing, but the way they watch you makes it impossible to hide your smile.
Once you’re done, Jinu gestures toward the plaza.
“Go find a good spot. Somewhere we can see you.”
The blush comes back instantly.
They start to move, but not before each one says goodbye in their own way.
Jinu leans in and kisses the top of your head.
Abby wraps you in a warm hug, pressing a kiss to your cheek.
Romance takes your hand and kisses it slow— too slow.
Mistery slides behind you, arms looping around your waist, lips brushing the base of your ear. “Don’t forget to watch me,” he whispers.
And then there’s Baby.
He doesn’t move.
The others begin walking, but he lingers. Watching you.
That gaze. It’s steady. It burns through every layer of your composure.
You barely register your own breath as he steps close, eyes flicking down to your lips—then back to your eyes.
And then he kisses you.
Soft. Warm. Deliberate. A whisper of a kiss, but enough to steal the breath from your lungs.
He pulls back just enough to murmur, “Just for good luck.”
And before you can say anything, he’s gone—walking away with his hands in his pockets like nothing happened.
You stand there, heart thudding in your chest, hand rising instinctively to touch your lips.
And you smile deciding to head to the plaza before the crowd arrives. Your cheeks are still warm, and that silly grin simply won't leave your face. You retrace your steps in reverse, weaving through familiar streets until you arrive. The plaza is already alive: people browsing shops and stalls, others clutching concert flyers as they wait. You can feel the thrill buzzing around.
You find a spot just off-center from where the stage will be set up. Not quite middle, but close enough that you can feel the energy. You check your phone: 10:58 AM They could start any second. You feel like you're about to debut—especially since your outfit practically is performing.
Then your phone buzzes. A message from Jinu pops up
Every beat, every step—it’s all yours. We’re performing for you.
Your skin prickles with goosebumps, and you’re burning up again.Before you can even blush, the music hits.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey!
The volume swells, and pink smoke billows toward the sky. The plaza pulses with sudden excitement. And then they appear—five silhouettes stepping into the haze, electric and alive.
Don’t want you, need you. Yeah, I need you to fill me up! Masigo maysyeo bwa do...
Their voices wash over you—crisp, clean, melodic. Even though you've heard the demo, this is different. This is visceral. This is they’re really here.
Got a feeling that, oh yeah. You could be everything that I need! Taste so sweet
Your chest tightens: yes, your ego swells just a little, proud that you helped make this synchronization possible.
Makes me want more.
Looking like snacks!
You got it like that!
Take a big bite, want another bite! Neoui modeungeol nan wonhae!
Neomalgon modu peonhae, peonhae…
They lock eyes with you, all five of them, as they hit that chorus together—a collective smile slowing everything down.
Can’t let go, no, no, not tonight.
Jigeum dangiang nal. Bwa shigan eobtjana.
Your feet start moving, almost involuntarily—tiny sway, gentle side-to-side rhythm matching the beat.
Neon naegeoya imi algo itjana.
Cause I need you to need me.
I’m empty, you feed me. So refreshing!
My little soda pop!
Nearby, Rumi, Zoey, and Mira are in the crowd, watching warily. They remembered the strange run-in in the alley earlier—that left a bitter taste.
But the boys just keep singing:
You’re all I can think of. Every drop I drink up. You’re my soda pop. My little soda pop. Cool me down, you’re so hot. Pour me up, I won’t stop! You’re my soda pop.
Zoey can't fight it—she starts dancing. Rumi and Mira shoot daggers until she freezes like she’s been electrocuted.
Rumi mutters, “It is annoyingly catchy, though.”
Mira adds, “It’s infectious.”
That’s when Mira sees you, swaying at the front, utterly absorbed. She blurts, “What...?” and signals. Zoey and Rumi follow her gaze.
They see the boys blow kisses to fans, form hearts with their hands. Mira snatches a heart from the air just as one of them flings a flower your way—you catch it with a bright smile.
Mira gasps, “They can make hearts out of thin air? And a flower? For my sister?”
All of them freeze when they notice subtle glowing marks on the boys’ arms—like faint, pulsing runes.
Together they whisper, “They’re demons.”
Zoey whispers back, “Magicians! Demons. Obviously demons.”
Mira’s face drains: “Wait a damn minute.” She shifts her gaze between you and the stage faster and faster. “Oh no.”
Confusion ripples through Rumi and Zoey.
Mira says, voice tight: “Look at the clothes… the style… the accessories… the way they look at her, toss her flowers. She designed that.”
Shock turns to horror.
All of a sudden, the music builds into Baby’s rap:
Make me wanna flip the top! Han mogeume, you hit the spot!
Every little drip and drop, fizz and pop. Soreum doda, it’s gettin’ hot
Zoey breathes out, “Dang, they’re good.”
Rumi whispers, “Incredible. But a demon boy band? Why?”
Mira snarls, “I don’t care. A demon’s a demon. We should handle them—especially near Y/N.”
Rumi shakes her head, “No. Too public.”
Mira presses on, “What if they hurt these people? Or worse—hurt my sister?”
Zoey softens: “Look at her. She’s smiling. They aren’t hurting anyone.”
They turn again. You're completely engrossed—counting steps in your head, syncing movements. The crowd loves them. You set that in motion. A rush of pride floods you.
The final chorus echoes:
Nan jeoldae notchil su eopseo.
Zoey murmurs: “Actually…it almost seems like they’re nice demons?”
Rumi and Mira: “Demons are never nice!”
And then the finale unfolds: they ascend on a massive soda-can platform that appears to rise out of nowhere—you can’t even register how. It’s surreal and brilliant, cementing the magic of the moment.
Pour me up, I won’t stop! You’re my soda pop. My little soda pop. You’re my soda pop! Gotta drink every drop!
They hit the final pose. The plaza erupts—applause, cheers, whistles. Even you are standing, clapping wildly.
They wave at the crowd, but their eyes— always find yours.
Finally, Jinu leans into the mic: “That’s it for now. See you tonight on everyone’s favorite variety show.” The crowd roars as the screen behind them lights up with the show’s logo. “Saja Boys love you!”
Then—puff. Pink smoke engulfs them. And when it clears, they’re gone. You stare at the empty stage, heart racing. No one warned you about the disappearing act, but it was amazing to see.
You were just about to leave the plaza to look for the boys, when your eyes caught a familiar trio standing in the middle of it. Mira. Zoey. Rumi.
You hadn’t seen them arrive, and the sight of them now made you light up instinctively. The rush of the showcase still pulsed through your body like static, and seeing your friends only amplified the high.
You approached them with a radiant smile, practically glowing.
“Did you see the performance?” you asked, breathless, excitement curling every word. “Weren’t the boys amazing?”
For a moment, none of them responded. And maybe if you hadn’t been so euphoric, you would’ve noticed the tension in their stances, the subtle sharpness in their gazes. But you were too full of adrenaline and joy to register the silence as anything more than surprise.
It was Mira who finally broke it, her voice clipped and cold.
“So this was the big secret you’ve been keeping from us?”
You blinked at her tone. It hit like a splash of cold water, cutting straight through the warmth inside you. But still, you didn’t let your smile fall—at least not yet.
“I wasn’t hiding it,” you said with a small laugh, trying to make sense of her reaction. “I just wanted you to see the final result first. You know, like a reveal.”
“Didn’t look like a reveal,” she muttered, crossing her arms.
You frowned slightly, confusion stirring in your chest. “You didn’t like it?”
“It’s not that, Y/N,” Zoey interjected gently, stepping forward and placing a hand on your shoulder. “It’s just... those guys give us a weird feeling.”
You gave a quiet “Oh,” and the smile on your face softened, faltering slightly but still there. “I mean, they can seem intense, sure. But they’re just goofballs, really. Goofballs in attractive packaging.”
You chuckled at your own joke, expecting at least a small laugh. None came.
Instead, Mira raised an eyebrow and said, “You sure seem to know them well.”
That one cut deeper than you were ready for. The way she said it wasn’t neutral—it was accusatory, laced with something bitter.
Your smile dropped.
“Okay... what’s your problem?” you asked, voice flat, a warning edge creeping in. “They’re not bad people. They’ve been respectful, kind, and they practically begged me to help them this week. I don't see the issue.”
“You’ve been helping them for days?” Mira’s voice, still hushed for the sake of the crowd, was sharp enough to wound. “Do you even think before you throw yourself into these things? About the consequences?”
That stung. Her disappointment wasn’t quiet anymore—it was cold and razor-like. You felt the first cracks forming in your chest, confusion mixing with something else: hurt.
“I didn’t throw myself into anything,” you snapped. “They asked for help. I agreed. It’s literally part of my job to support artists. You know that.”
“But this isn’t your job, is it?” Mira’s eyes narrowed. “You’re working for HUNTR/X. That was the plan. That’s the job we fought for. What the hell is this moonlighting for some underground boy group?”
“It is still my job,” you fired back. “This is my second gig. Not that I needed your permission.”
Zoey and Rumi exchanged uneasy glances, trying to defuse the tension with half-whispers of your names, but it was like gasoline to flame. You weren’t going to let it go—not now. Not when Mira looked at you like you were a disappointment.
“This is why Mom and Dad always had to keep you on a leash,” Mira muttered, not quite loud enough for others to hear—but just loud enough to shatter something inside you.
You felt your breath catch in your chest.
There it was. The thing you worked so hard to outgrow, weaponized in five words.
Your past.
The endless rules, the suffocating standards, the way they micromanaged your passions until they bled dry. Mira was the golden child. You were the wild one. The mess. The liability.
“You think this is about them?” you hissed, suddenly trembling. “You think this is me rebelling again, like I’m some kind of reckless kid? I’m doing something I love. For once. I’m good at it.”
“They’ll use you up, just like everyone else has,” she spat. “But maybe that’s what you want. Someone else telling you who to be so you don’t have to figure it out for yourself.”
It hit harder than you expected. The anger in her voice. The lack of faith.
A sudden pressure built behind your eyes, your pulse quickening as the weight in your chest became unbearable. Something dark slithered through your thoughts like smoke, thick and nauseating. It was the same feeling from the nightmare—the same dread curling up from your stomach like something was poisoning you from the inside.
“She’s just mad she can’t control you anymore.”
The voice wasn’t your own.
It slithered in, soft but clear, as if whispered directly into your ear. And then it vanished, like breath on glass, but left your body cold and aching.
Your vision blurred. Your mouth trembled.
“You know what?” you whispered, and there was steel in your tone. “Maybe you’re just mad that I’m doing fine without your approval.”
Mira’s jaw tightened. “Fine? You’re not fine, Y/N. You’ve been pretending for so long, you probably believe it.”
That one landed like a knife. You could see Zoey flinch. Rumi looked away entirely.
You felt the tears before they reached your lashes. And you didn’t want them to see. You couldn’t let them see.
So you just nodded once—slow, deliberate—and turned on your heel.
“Y/N, wait—” Zoey called after you, stepping forward.
But Mira’s arm blocked her. “Let her go.”
You didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop.
The moment you stepped away from them, the tears spilled freely, hot and silent. Your chest heaved as you hurried through the plaza, hands clenched into fists, head down.
The words—hers and the other one’s—churned in your skull like boiling water. You didn’t know what was worse: Mira’s disappointment, or the quiet whisper that maybe she was right.
You could barely see.
The world was just lights and shadows until you slammed into something solid.
“Shit—sorry, I—” you stammered, trying to wipe your face, to breathe, but the sob broke through instead.
“Y/N?”
You froze.
That voice.
Warm. Worried.
You looked up—barely—and saw him.
Romance.
His expression changed the moment he saw your face. He didn’t hesitate. Just opened his arms and pulled you in.
You didn’t even think. You clung to him like a lifeline, like he was the only solid thing in a world spinning too fast. Your face pressed into his chest, your fingers fisted the fabric of his shirt, and his scent—cologne and something sweeter, like fruit and spice—was all around you.
He wrapped one arm tightly around your waist, the other moving gently to the back of your head. He didn’t ask questions. He just held you. Rocked you a little. His breath calm against your temple, like a metronome.
“Hey,” he murmured, his voice a quiet comfort. “You’re okay. I’ve got you. I’m here.”
The sobs quieted into hiccups. Then into soft, shaky breaths.
You didn’t move.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked softly, not pushing, just offering.
“Not yet,” you whispered.
He nodded, chin brushing your hair. “Okay. No rush.”
A pause.
“We were looking for you, you know,” he added gently. “After the showcase. We waited for you.”
You nodded into his chest, too tired to speak.
“Come on,” he said, his hand still at your waist as he started walking with you. “Let’s get you home. The others are waiting.”
You didn’t know if he meant the boys or something else. But for now, his warmth and the steady beat of his heart were enough.
You let him guide you.
---
The walk with Romance was silent.
He didn’t let go of you, but he didn’t push you to speak either. His arm stayed firmly wrapped around your shoulders, his fingers lightly stroking your arm in slow, soothing motions. You weren’t sobbing anymore, but the tears kept falling—hot, steady, and endless—as they traced your cheeks.
Your mind spun with Mira’s words. Her tone. The way she’d looked at you.
She had never looked at you like that before.
That disappointment in her eyes—it echoed something too familiar. Something you’d only ever seen in your mother’s face. And that comparison alone sent a chill through your entire body.
But even through the ache, even through the sting of her words, you didn’t regret anything. Not one part of your performance. You were proud of what you’d done. Proud of how the boys looked in your designs. Proud that, for once, you’d stepped into your light.
Oh God. Your boys.
There it was again—that possessiveness swelling in your chest, raw and tender. A claim you didn’t feel you deserved. Mira said they’d only use you. That this was all a game.
But how could those boys—those sweet, chaotic, gentle boys who’d treated you with so much kindness—ever do something like that?
You glanced at Romance beside you. His presence was grounding. His warmth seeped into you as he guided you gently through the city streets, one hand still softly rubbing your arm. He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to. The care in his silence was louder than anything.
He wouldn’t hurt you.
You repeated that thought to yourself like a quiet mantra.
They wouldn’t
Romance glanced at you every so often, his heart twisting each time he caught the devastation on your face—your cheeks blotchy from crying, your eyes dull, your lips trembling. Just an hour ago, you’d been glowing. You’d been the brightest light in the room.
He couldn’t stop replaying it: how beautiful you looked on that plaza. How shyly you had smiled when you saw them, your cheeks warm and flushed in that delicate dress. He’d never seen anyone radiate like you did in that moment.
And now… this.
He didn’t know what had happened, but someone had stolen that light from you.
And he’d destroy them for it.
You didn’t even notice when you reached the boys’ penthouse. The soft chime of the elevator pulled you from your daze.
The doors opened, and the scene in front of you felt like walking into a painting. The boys were all lounging across the massive cream-toned sofa. Baby was stretched out horizontally, his head in Mystery’s lap as the latter absentmindedly played with his hair. Baby’s legs rested on Jinu’s thighs, who didn’t seem bothered in the slightest and was instead half-leaning against Abby, scrolling through something on his phone.
The moment the elevator chimed, though, all of them looked up.
And the moment they saw you, they froze. The concern hit instantly.
They all jumped up at once, voices overlapping as they rushed toward you—
“Y/N, what happened—”
“Are you okay?”
“Who the fuck—?”
Romance raised a hand, his face stern.
“She’ll talk when she’s ready.”
They quieted, but the worry didn’t leave their faces.
He guided you past them, down the long hallway. He paused in front of a door you had never been through before. When he opened it, you knew instantly: it was his room.
You never imagined yourself stepping inside it, but somehow, it looked exactly like you pictured. Neat, organized. Creams and warm beige, soft light filtering through tall windows. The kind of peaceful space that could swallow your chaos whole.
He sat you on the bed.
“I’ll be right back,” he said gently.
You heard the door close. Then faint voices outside—just murmurs.
When he returned, he held a glass of water in his hand. He offered it to you and sat beside you while you drank it in a single gulp, not realizing how thirsty you were.
“Thanks,” you murmured, voice barely audible.
He gave you a small smile and reached for your hand, lacing your fingers together with a soft pressure.
“Do you want to talk about what happened?”
You didn’t. Saying it aloud would make it real. But if you didn’t let it out, it would fester, swirl, drown you in your own thoughts.
You exhaled shakily.
“After you guys disappeared—thanks for ditching me, by the way,” you added with a hollow laugh. He smiled, just a flicker. “I saw Mira and the girls. I was so excited to tell her about the contract with you, to show off how proud I was of your outfits. And…”
He tilted his head. “Wait—your sister didn’t know you were working with us?”
You froze. “No.”
“What? Why?”
You got up, started pacing. “Mira gets… territorial with her things. And if I told her I wanted another job to get more experience, she’d insist on finding one for me. I didn’t want this to come from her. I wanted it to be because of me. Just Y/N, the designer. Not ‘Mira’s little sister.’”
“You’re not an object, Y/N,” Romance said, his voice low. “You’re not a pair of shoes for her to be jealous of. We hired you because you’re good at what you do.”
His chest tightened at his own words.
Because it wasn’t the whole truth.
Yes, they’d seen your talent. But it wasn’t why they came after you. Not at first. Not when they realized who your sister was. Guilt thudded in his chest.
He said nothing more. Just let you speak.
“I thought she’d be proud. I really did. I thought—after everything—I thought she’d look at me and see someone she could be proud of. But instead…”
You swallowed, then continued, your voice cracking.
“She looked at me like I’d betrayed her. She said I was selfish. That I always had to be the center of attention. That I lied to her. And when I tried to explain why, she said I’d only ever get hurt by you guys. That I was too naive to see I was being used.”
The tears started again, hot and fast.
“I told her she was just mad because I didn’t need her anymore. And she—she said, ‘You're right. You don’t. So don’t come running when they drop you.’”
Your breath hitched. Your head throbbed. That voice—the whisper you’d heard before—began again. Hissing, twisting inside your mind, like venom threading through your veins.
You clutched your temples.
“I—can’t—breathe—”
Romance moved instantly.
“Hey. Hey, Y/N—look at me.”
You couldn’t. Your vision blurred, your lips trembling as you tried to form words that wouldn’t come.
He took your hands, pressed one flat against his chest. His heartbeat thudded against your palm.
“Feel that? Breathe with me, okay?”
He brought both hands to your cheeks, forcing you to meet his eyes. His touch was gentle, grounding.
“Just breathe. That’s it. I’ve got you.”
You let the air come in uneven bursts, your fingers curling slightly into his shirt as he held you steady.
“There you are,” he whispered. “That’s it. You’re okay. You’re safe.”
You didn’t know how long you stayed like that, forehead pressed against his, his hand cradling your cheek. But your body began to loosen, the pain in your head slowly fading into the background.
When your breathing calmed, he didn’t move. His voice was barely above a whisper.
“You didn’t deserve that. Any of it.”
You swallowed, blinking up at him, your face flushed.
“I just wanted to make her proud,” you whispered.
“I’m proud of you.”
You froze.
He leaned in a little closer, his eyes burning into yours.
“You don’t need to earn your worth by proving yourself to anyone. You already matter. You already shine.”
He said it like a vow, like it was undeniable truth.
And in that moment, for the first time in what felt like forever—you believed it.
You let your forehead rest against his. He didn’t pull away.
His thumb traced your jaw. “Can I hold you?”
You nodded.
He pulled you into him, both arms wrapping around your waist, your legs tucked over his lap, your body melting into his warmth. You buried your face into his neck, the scent of his cologne soft and familiar, his heart steady beneath your ear.
Neither of you spoke for a long time.
The silence and warmth of Romance wrapped around you, seeping into every corner of your tired body. Nothing else mattered—only the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath your cheek and the way his hand cradled the back of your head. It made you feel safe in a way you didn’t know you still needed.
You weren’t sure if it was the weight of all the emotions from the past hour or the exhaustion from crying so much, but your eyelids grew heavy, the pull of sleep becoming impossible to resist.
Romance noticed, his voice dropping to a soft whisper. “Rest. We still have time. I promise I’ll wake you up.”
You hummed in faint agreement, already more asleep than awake, and the last thing you registered before darkness claimed you was the sound of Romance humming a song you didn’t recognize—low, gentle, and just for you.

My unhinged hc is Mystery being born in ww2 (👀 iykyk)
What time period do you think the other saja boys (minus jinu) were born in?
(soz abt the other ask i sent earlier i misclicked the send button lol)
Okay so I got diff HCs for them but hear me out… Abby def gives war era vibes (same w/ Mystery tbh). Baby tho is on two extremes like… he’s either 600+ yrs old or under 200 baby boy. No in-between.
In MY hc timeline:
Baby = oldest (545 yrs), didn’t even do a deal w/ Gwima himself, his mom literally yeeted him into the contract, that’s the reason he is an absolute menace
Abby = 425 yrs (like I said before, his dad wanted to be a soldier… and he rlly did it so he is the one I think came for a war time ).
Mystery = 380 yrs, I see him as the “raised by religious fam” kid, probs cleric/page vibes.
Jinu = we already know his lore.
Romance = babyyy, the youngest (240 yrs), probs from a rich fam working for the palace, and ngl he was def a poet or smth like that
Lowkey this could be a mini spoiler for their backstories you’ll get later idk 🤷‍♀️ jjsjsjsjs.
Thanks for the question love 🫰🏻

OKAY LISTEN… this might be the most TOE-CURLING one shot i’ve EVER written 😭😭
the idea literally came from that post i made yesterday (This post) and ofc inspired by the STUPIDLY TALENTED @sleepyfortress ✨
LIKE… IT’S TOO MUCH. even i was BLUSHING while editing it 😳💀 sometimes i scare myself with the things i write LMAOOO CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP—HOPE U GUYS ENJOY 💌🔥
WATERBOMB
Saja Boys x Idol! reader
You’re kneeling on a road case that doubles as a mirror stand, hair stylist pinning the final unruly strand behind your ear. The dressing tent hums—fans like turbines, cords snaking under tables, the sweet-salty smell of sunscreen and stage fog mixing with wet grass. Outside, a tidal cheer swells and crashes, and somewhere past the scrim a sprinkler rig hisses alive. Waterbomb is nothing like a regular music show. It’s a city-sized sprinkler gone feral.
“Last spritz,” Zoey says, misting your face. The droplets feel like glitter.
Rumi peeks out from behind the vinyl flap of the tent. “They’re on verse two,” she reports, purple hair still damp and curling at her collarbone. Her sheer striped top clings like a second skin, white overshirt half off one shoulder. “They’re… uh… all kinds of shameless.”
Mira laughs, adjusting her clear glasses and black crop with the rainbow streak. “Of course they are. It’s Saja Boys.”
“Be nice,” you murmur, but your smile’s already giving you away. “They worked the afternoon slot; they’re carrying the heat for us.”
“They’re carrying something,” Zoey mutters, tying the blue-and-white choker around her neck. Her sport top reads HUNTRIX in small block letters, the pastel ribbon at the hem already dark with spray. “Come on—good luck circle before you combust.”
You press in, foreheads touching, their hands warm and damp in yours. Rumi squeezes twice. Mira whispers, “Crush them.” Zoey, grinning, adds, “Cradle to grave.”
When you pull back, your silver outfit throws the tent lights into flashes. It’s sleek—a two-piece with a liquid-metal sheen, cut high on your thigh, a shrug layered over it that you’ll ditch later if the sun drops and the crowd behaves. Your hair is down, thick and glossy, headset mic hugging your cheek. On the crate beside you: a neon water gun and a bandolier of gleaming, pre-filled balloons.
Another roar from the crowd. Curiosity wins. You slide toward the gap in the tent and catch the main LED screen.
They are chaos.
Abby’s on the thrust, pink hair almost electric under the lights, shirtless and glistening, a strip of caution-yellow tape slung like a sash across his bicep as if he’s a hazard sign come to life. Chains flash at his throat. He tips his head and the spray runs down his chest, the kind of careless that’s practiced.
Center-right, Mira’s nemesis, how she like to call him—Romance—has his pink hair swept wet across his forehead, white shirt open and flapping, the striped crop beneath translucent in the soaking. He sings like he’s telling a secret to fifty thousand people and winks like he knows exactly what it does to them.
Jinu, on the right, lifts the hem of his top with his teeth for half a bar and the pit detonates. The pendant at his sternum swings; he grins like a sin he can afford.
Mystery is all silver hair and sharp edges, a giant yellow water cannon braced at his hip, mouth curved in that almost-smile that says he was born for mischief. Baby—mint-green hair, rings to the knuckles, white shirt plastered to a body that looks carved—laughs into his mic, tongue between teeth, and flicks a water balloon straight up; it explodes in glitter rain.
You swallow. The little thrill at your ribs is ridiculous—you’ve been on a hundred stages, danced under worse heat, shared green rooms with legends—but something about them, all five, dripping and loud and stupidly alive, pings your pulse.
“They’re going to crack the ground at this rate,” Zoey says, following your gaze.
“Let them,” Rumi murmurs, amused.
You drag your eyes away, cheeks hot even in this breeze. There’s no time to be a spectator. Your setlist is taped to your shin; your in-ears buzz; your stage manager is already counting you down. The girls hug you once more—“kill it, okay?”—and dart to the wings to watch.
On your way down the corridor, you cut behind stacks of flight cases and pass the shadowed opening where the boys will funnel off stage. For a second you’re just a sliver of silver in the dark, unnoticed.
“—did you see her sign?” Baby cackles as they rip past, voices ricocheting off metal. “The one that said ‘baptize me, Mystery’—”
“Blasphemous,” Mystery deadpans, laughter buried in it.
Abby snorts. “Better than the one that asked me to ruin her credit.”
“You would,” Romance says, flapping his soaked shirt.
Jinu’s voice is the anchor: “Hydrate, change mics, back for the outro splash. Don’t slip on the ramp—”
You bite your lip to keep from laughing out loud. The image of Abby ruining someone’s credit is going to haunt you through the first chorus.
They streak by—steam, cologne, wet leather—and then they’re gone into their own tent, busy with post-stage adrenaline. They don’t see you. It’s fine. If they knew how hard you stared at them on the LED six minutes ago, you’d never live it down.
“Two minutes,” your stage manager says in your ear. “Remember: the Waterbomb towers will fire at your count. Don’t step between the grates when the cannons lift.”
“Got it,” you say, already rolling your shoulders. You can hear the crowd chanting the festival tag—WATER! BOMB! WATER! BOMB!—as the DJ on the main platform hypes them for your arrival. Up top, the rainbow sprinkler racks spit test streams. Staffers in neon ponchos trot along the moat with extra water guns. The front barricade glitters with waterproof phone pouches and hand-lettered signs. The heat is a living thing.
You step into it.
The stage swallows you with a bass thud. The LED screen explodes into chrome ripples, and your body knows the exact line between strut and sprint. You walk to the center mark, smile so sharp it could cut, and throw your free hand—one hand on the water gun, of course—up to the sky.
“Waterbomb two-thousand-twenty-five,” you purr, voice hitting the back stands. “Are you ready to get wet?”
The response is seismic. Somewhere backstage, five heads snap up.
You don’t see it, but the boys—half-toweled, still buzzing—feel the floor vibrate and drift to the side wing in curiosity. The backlights flare. And then they see you.
Silver like moonlight. Hair down, sleek from the humidity. Headset mic at your cheek, gleaming. Water gun balanced on your shoulder like you were born with it.
“Who is—” Abby starts, and then loses words as your first beat drops and your hips answer.
The choreography hits like a pulse through your bones—liquid-sharp, a blur of shoulders and heelwork—a tease of control as the overhead cannons arc streams that find your skin. The top clings; your shrug darkens; droplets bead the hollow of your throat. You cut across the thrust stage and the crowd’s hands go up to meet you. You spray a curtain of water and they scream like absolution.
Romance’s jaw has been on the floor for an entire eight-count. “She’s—uh—wow.”
Zoey materializes at his elbow, smug. “That’s our friend.”
“Our?” Jinu echoes, eyes not leaving you for a second.
“Soloist extraordinaire,” Mira supplies, tone airy and proud. “She closes the night. We warned you.”
“You did not warn us enough,” Abby says faintly.
Rumi leans on the railing, chin in her hand. “This is her restrained.”
Mystery watches without blinking, the corner of his mouth lifted. “Huh.”
The boys shuffle closer as if proximity will answer the questions rattling their ribs. Your second verse slides into a low run, your feet gliding like the stage is a river that belongs to you. The crowd answers every call you toss them, a choir of delirium. You play the front left corner, fingers brushing out over a thicket of hands, and a ring of girls breaks into tears because they meet your gaze for half a heartbeat. At the bridge you drop into a crouch, water gun resting on your thigh as you roll your spine with a grin that sells sin. The sprinkler rack overhead kicks into a wave cycle; the rain sweeps downstage to upstage and back.
“Okay, but how—” Baby’s trying not to shout and failing. “How does she move like that, she’s not slipping, she’s—”
“Practice,” Zoey says, but her eyes are fond. “And because she’s a menace.”
“She’s dangerous,” Abby says, and for once it’s not a brag. It’s awe.
Jinu clears his throat, steadying himself in that leader way. “What’s her name?”
Mira tells him. Your name clicks into their skulls like a key in a lock.
“And she’s single?” Romance asks, painless as a gunshot.
Rumi smirks. “Who knows.”
Mystery doesn’t ask anything. He just watches you dance and catalogues the exact moment you feel the stage like a second skin. He can tell the instant you decide to kick the throttle open.
It happens at the drop. You tap your earpiece, step into dead center, and breathes hushed around the pit. Your smile cuts wider.
“Hold my mic,” you say to a staffer, swapping the water gun into both hands. “I have a present.”
You slide your shrug off your shoulders and the crowd gasps. The silver top underneath flashes like a blade, then—hook, twist, snap—you peel the overlay away and it’s all water-shimmering swimsuit underneath, athletic and indecent in equal measure, cut to move and to make people forget how to breathe.
For half a second, five separate lives separate into five clean lines of thought.
Abby: You have got to be kidding me. That’s— that’s illegal. Arrest me; I did it.
Romance: God, she knows what she’s doing. She knows we’re watching. She wants us to— okay, we will.
Jinu: Focus. Leader brain. Don’t embarrass yourself. The cameras— she looks so happy. She looks free. Breathe, man.
Mystery: Perfect timing. Reveal on the drop. She paces the walkway like she owns gravity. I want to see what her eyes do when she locks onto someone.
Baby: OH MY— I need water. More water. Give me six water guns and a defibrillator.
The pit detonates. Phones—already tucked in waterproof pouches—rise like a sea of stars. You swing the water gun into a wide arc, a glittering spray that catches the sunset as the sky slips from gold to bruised violet. A group of guys at the barricade tilt their faces up to it, laughing, and you pop a water balloon into the front row like confetti.
Your ment bleeds into the track, breathless and bright. “I’m having way too much fun,” you shout, and the crowd screams back. “What a privilege to be here with you—this weather, this light—” You spin, drink in fifty thousand shining faces. “But I can’t soak all of you alone.”
A chant starts—HUN-TRIX! HUN-TRIX!—and you laugh because they read your mind.
“Huntrix,” you call, throwing your arm toward the wing. “Get out here and help me!”
The girls don’t hesitate. Zoey barrels first, water gun cocked, double buns bobbing; Rumi struts behind her, pearls at her throat winking; Mira sprints, rainbow stripe blazing. You toss Zoey an extra bandolier; she catches it without looking.
The cheer swells again, and with it, a different one—lower, rougher, disbelieving—because Huntrix aren’t alone.
The Saja Boys stumble after them, dragged by a mix of peer pressure and destiny. Abby’s still shirtless, slinging his caution tape back over his shoulder. Romance’s open shirt clings to his waist; he’s laughing like a man headed for trouble. Jinu tugs his hem down and fails—the crowd is howling anyway—necklace catching the floodlights. Mystery brings his obscene yellow cannon, because of course he does. Baby comes last, mint hair drenched, fingers loaded with rings, grin sharp enough to scrape.
You feign innocence. “Oh?” you say into your headset, hand on your hip. “I guess I hit the jackpot.”
Abby, passing you, murmurs under the noise, “You have no idea,” and then launches a spray into the sky that rains down like a storm.
It is chaos in the best way: choreography abandoned for a water war, cameramen swaddled in plastic, the front barricade soaked and hysterical. You carve through it like it was planned, weaving between bodies with dancer precision. Mira traps Romance in a crossfire and he blocks with his own chest, then laughs helplessly when you sneak behind him to shoot low. Jinu tries to be serious for half a second and then Zoey plants a water balloon square in his shoulder and he breaks into that grin again. Rumi and Baby trade shots like flirtations—her arch eyebrow vs. his stubborn dimples—and neither of them wins. Mystery takes the corner of the thrust by quiet force; kids scream his name while he rains arcs over their heads like he’s painting.
You sing through it. You don’t stop moving. The band hits your last chorus harder; the towers fire in synchronized waves; the LED behind you turns to a moon of rippling silver.
At the final hit you lift your arm and the entire place lifts with you. For a heartbeat there’s only light and water and noise.
“Thank you!” you shout, laughter breaking your words. “Thank you for closing Waterbomb with me! Take care, drink water, get home safe!”
The track cuts. The scream doesn’t.
You turn and hand your water gun to a kid wearing a poncho three sizes too big; the security guard smiles at you like you’ve given the city a puppy. Huntrix bow their way backward. The boys, dazed, manage a coordinated wave that looks suspiciously like habit. And then you’re all herded past the wings by staff holding towels like flags, adrenaline fizzing out of your bones in sparking threads.
Backstage is its own weather system. Steam rises off bodies. The ground is a mosaic of damp footprints and gaffer’s tape. Staff pass around bottled water and soft cloths. You’re laughing with Mira about how Zoey nearly took out a speaker when the crowd on the path cleaves.
They approach as a unit, which you’ll learn is how they do everything—like a tide that decided on a direction.
“Hi,” Jinu says first, because he’s polite even when the world’s still ringing. He’s taller up close, face carved but warm, pendant still dripping. “We didn’t get to introduce ourselves before you incinerated the festival.”
“Hydrated the festival,” you correct, accepting the towel he offers. “Hi.”
Abby leans on a lighting case like he owns it. Up close the pink in his hair is brighter, almost neon. “You planned that reveal,” he says, admiring instead of accusatory. “That was criminally effective.”
“Is there a charge?” you ask, dabbing water from your collarbone. “I can plead not guilty.”
He smiles slow. “I’m the wrong person to ask about guilt.”
Baby slides in on your other side, eyes flicking over your face like he’s cataloguing expressions. Up close the lashes are ridiculous. “You’re trouble,” he decides, theatrical as a gavel. “I respect that.”
“Is this an intervention?” you ask. “Because I’m not changing.”
Zoey whacks Romance with her towel. “Don’t scare her,” she scolds, clearly kidding.
Romance beelines like a golden retriever with a mission. “I loved when you said you couldn’t soak everyone alone,” he blurts, then blushes because it sounded filthier out loud. “I mean—like—teamwork! It was good. The teamwork. Also, can you teach me that footwork? The wet stage thing? I nearly did a split I didn’t order.”
Rumi covers a laugh with her bottle. “He nearly did,” she confirms.
Mystery has been quiet, which makes you more aware of him. He bends, picks a water balloon fragment from the floor, twirls the rubber once around his ringed finger, then flicks it into a bin without looking. “You switch your center of gravity to the ball of your foot on the glide,” he says mildly to Romance, and then to you, eyes sharp and unreadable, “Nice call on the reveal at the drop. You like the control of a crowd.”
You meet his gaze and refuse to back down. “I like giving them a memory.”
His mouth does that almost-smile again. “Successful.”
Jinu clears his throat gently, herding the chaos with a glance. “We’re terrible at this part,” he says. “Talking like… adults. But we wanted to say you were incredible.”
“And to ask how we didn’t know about you,” Abby adds, affronted at the concept, as though your existence without their knowledge is a personal insult.
“Because you live in your cave,” Mira says sweetly.
“Gym,” Romance corrects, offended. “We live in the gym.”
“Then the dance studio,” Zoey says.
“Right,” Baby agrees. “And sometimes the kitchen.”
“Anyway,” Jinu rescues the topic, smiling. “We’d like your contact. For… professional reasons.” The ‘professional’ is so transparent even Rumi laughs.
You hook your towel around your neck and pretend to consider. “What would you even do with it?”
Romance leans closer, voice low. “Send you illegal compliments.”
“DMs at ungodly hours,” Abby offers.
“Ask for wet-stage tips,” Baby says, honest.
“Propose a collab,” Jinu adds, the reliable one.
Mystery’s head tilts. “Find out what your eyes do up close when you’re not looking at fifty thousand people.”
That steals the breath right out of you. You exhale slow, aware of every drop still sliding down your ribs. “Bold,” you say.
“Recovering demon tendencies,” Abby tosses in, too breezy, as if he didn’t just say the quiet part out loud.
Mira coughs once, side-eye like a dagger. Rumi’s mouth quirks; Zoey’s toe taps a warning on his shoe.
You blink. “Recovering… what?”
“Gamers,” Baby blurts, instantly. “He said gamers. We’re recovering gamers. Like, addict— no, not that— we just— we play a lot of—”
Jinu pinches the bridge of his nose, mortified. “We’re rebranding,” he says weakly. “Don’t mind him.”
You look at the three Huntrix faces: open-mouthed innocence (Zoey), practiced serenity (Rumi), irritated big sister (Mira). Their eyes say later. Your curiosity pings again, but you let it go. The world is full of strange things. And you’ve never been one to judge on rumor.
“Fine,” you say, generous. “Recovering gamers. We all have our vices.”
“Yours is being unbearable on stage,” Romance says. “And I thank you for it.”
“Give me your phones,” you decide, because mercy is its own vice. “We’ll exchange.”
That wakes them like a flare. Five phones appear with comical speed, each in a different waterproof case, each background chaotic: Abby’s is a photo of the boys mid-laugh, Mystery’s a low-res meme you refuse to examine, Baby’s a picture of three puppies, Jinu’s a color-blocked schedule app, Romance’s… is a selfie, of course, lips pursed. You’re not immune; you bite back a grin, add your number, and a short note in his contacts—do not text me after 2 a.m. unless you’re bleeding or it’s a meme that will heal my childhood—and hand it back.
“You’re going to regret that,” Zoey tells you cheerfully.
“I already do,” you lie.
“Collab?” Jinu asks, now that the world has grown kinder. “We meant it. Waterbomb special stage next year? Or something sooner. Your energy—”
“—would bury me alive,” Abby says, delighted.
“—would look good next to ours,” Romance purrs.
Mystery studies you like an answer he enjoys taking apart. “You move like you don’t believe in gravity,” he says quietly. “I’d like to… test that theory.”
“Dance practice, not whatever you’re implying,” Rumi throws in, flicking his ear.
He doesn’t deny it. The almost-smile deepens. “Both, ideally.”
Baby shoulders him. “Stop terrifying our new friend.”
“Am I your friend already?” you ask, arch. “We just met.”
“You threw water in my mouth from ten meters,” Baby says solemnly. “We are bonded.”
That earns a real laugh out of you, one that eases something tight in your chest. Outside, the crowd’s noise dims to a rumor. The evening air slips cooler under the tent flaps, lifting the baby hairs at your neck. Your silver outfit has gone soft with water, and you’re hyper-aware of the way their eyes travel and then jerk back up, how they’re trying not to stare, how they absolutely are.
“You were staring,” you say, because you prefer clarity to games.
Abby tips his head, corner of his mouth wicked. “Absolutely.”
Romance nods, shameless. “Guilty.”
Jinu opens and closes his mouth, then surrenders: “Yeah.”
Mystery doesn’t bother lying; his gaze is a steady blade. “Obviously.”
Baby—bless him—goes pink from hairline to collarbone. “I’m trying to think something respectful.”
“You’re all fine,” you assure, and mean it. It felt… good. It felt like being seen by people who understand the hunger that fuels a stage. “Just don’t get me canceled.”
“Never,” Mira says dryly. “That’s my job.”
Zoey claps, wringing out the end of her pigtail. “Okay! Congratulations everyone. New friends made, egos fed, hydration achieved.”
“After-party?” Abby asks, hopeful. “We’ll be gentlemanly. Mostly.”
Jinu shoots him a look. “We have interviews.”
“Briefly,” Romance says, already plotting treason. “And then freedom.”
Rumi slides an extra towel around your shoulders, squeezing. “We’ll see you outside,” she murmurs, eyes bright with the kind of promise that means a debrief later.
You hook a thumb into your bandolier’s empty loop and nod. “Send me the location,” you tell the boys, boldness matching theirs now. “If your DMs are boring, I’m blocking you.”
“Impossible,” Romance says.
“Challenge accepted,” Mystery counters.
Baby beams so hard it’s a hazard. Abby salutes. Jinu, relieved and impressed, bows his head slightly like a gentleman who also survived hell.
They peel off in a slow, reluctant ripple, left behind like a heat mirage. Huntrix follows, laughing, for their own schedule. You linger a second, feeling the festival air pulse like a heartbeat beneath your feet. Somewhere out there, fifty thousand people will be wringing out their clothes on the subway, grinning like idiots. Somewhere in your phone, five brand-new threads are waiting to be chaotic.
You towel your hair, smile against the cotton, and think about how the water looked, catching the last light, when you said you couldn’t soak all of them alone—and a tide of friends answered.
Outside, a chant starts up again for no one and everyone—WATER! BOMB!—and you step into the night like a promise.

Hiiii I just read your saja boys x Mira's sister fanfic and IM IN LOVE
The plot? The angst and hurt comfort potential?? Saja boys being soft (my fav part in any fic)???? Chefs kiss I love your brain
Also a little rambling but just imagine the boys seeing reader dancing ballet? Cus honestly ballet seems almost ethereal and otherworldly to me (since I'm shitty at any type of dance) so I imagine they would just have their jaws on the floor
Respectfully I'll be waiting for any crumbs I drop bout this fic and lurking around like a shark (ngl I check for updates like every day)
Remember to rest and stay hydrated )))

The lost sister 6
Saja boys x Mira’s Sister! Reader
Pt.1 <- Pt.2 <- Pt.3 <- Pt.4 <- Pt.5 <- Pt.6
W.C: 4000+
N/A: Mistery is my husband and you can notice in the chapter. I’m in love how everything is turning out (Wait for the angst) thanks so much for all the likes and comments and new followers , means the world to me 🫰🏻
Tumblr media
You close the door behind you and let out a breath you didn’t realize you’d been holding. The apartment is quiet for a moment—until you step into the living room.
“There you are,” Mira says sharply, arms crossed. Zoey and Rumi sit on the couch, both looking up at you with matching concern. “Where the hell have you been?”
You blink, caught off guard. “I just—my phone died. I needed some air.”
Rumi tilts her head. “For five hours?”
You sigh. “I got food. Alone. I didn’t realize the time.”
Zoey exchanges a look with Mira. “Was it really alone?” she asks, half-joking but clearly fishing.
You walk toward your room. “I’m not dating anyone, okay?”
Mira hums. “Didn’t say you were.”
You pivot. “What’s going on with Rumi’s voice?”
Rumi shifts under the blanket, grateful for the change of subject. “It’s still weak. Especially after vocal runs. But Zoey’s been making me these drinks, and I think they’re helping. Lemon-ginger with honey. Like magic.”
Zoey grins. “Also gave her some breathing exercises.”
You smile faintly. “Good. That’s… really good.”
You excuse yourself quickly and slip into your room. You shed your clothes like dead skin, step into the hot shower, and let the water scald the tiredness from your muscles.
You dry off, change into your favorite oversized tee, and finally let yourself collapse onto the mattress. The warmth of the shower still clings faintly to your skin, and your body feels heavy, like it’s finally realizing how much it needed to stop.
The room is dim, lit only by the glow of the city through the curtains. For a long moment, you lie there in silence, listening to the distant hum of cars below and the soft buzz of life continuing outside your little cocoon. Then, with a soft sigh, you reach for your phone.
It takes a few seconds to power back on. As soon as it does, the notifications start rolling in — a small flood of missed messages and group chat chaos. You blink against the sudden brightness and tap into the group chat, It’s exactly the kind of nonsense you expected.
Work in progress 🎨🎤

get some rest. tomorrow’s busy
You smile to yourself, the curve of your lips soft and tired. You let the phone fall gently to your chest, eyes fluttering closed for just a second. And then, as if summoned by the weight of the moment, you remember the way the night ended.
That quiet moment at the elevator.
Abby’s — Jaeho’s — hand brushing against yours as he handed you the leftover bag from dinner. The hesitation in his eyes. And the way he froze when you leaned in to kiss the corner of his mouth. Not quite a kiss. Not quite not.
He’d stood there, stunned. His ears turned pink before the elevator doors closed between you.
You exhale through your nose, almost amused, almost embarrassed. The memory lingers, soft around the edges like something too tender to poke at just yet.
A buzz draws your attention back to your phone.
It’s not from the group chat this time.
A private message. Just him.
Abby 23:51
Hey. just wanted to say... it was really nice having you around tonight. thanks for staying. sleep well, okay? 💛
Your chest tightens, not in a painful way — more like warmth blooming unexpectedly. He’s not usually like this. Not this direct. Not this soft. You stare at the screen for a few seconds, biting your bottom lip.
Then, you type slowly. Carefully. Like the words matter.
You 23:53
Thanks, Jaeho. you too. sleep well.
You press send and watch the little checkmark appear. For some reason, it feels like the most intimate thing you’ve done all day.
The silence returns, more gentle now. You tuck the phone beside your pillow and pull the blanket over your body. The fatigue seeps in again — deeper this time — and your eyelids grow heavy.
Sleep doesn’t take long to come.
But rest does.
---
You find yourself standing in your childhood bedroom.
It’s familiar at first. The same desk, the same books lined up neatly along the shelves. The same lace curtains fluttering in a breeze that doesn’t feel real. But something’s wrong. The colors are washed out. The air smells like smoke. And in the corner of the room, something flickers.
A flame. But it isn’t orange.
It’s violet — deep and alive, licking at the shadows like it’s breathing.
You try to move, but your legs feel rooted in place. You try to speak, but your mouth won’t open. The fire watches you.
And then, it speaks.
“You don’t belong to them.”
The voice is heavy, like it comes from inside your skull, not the room. Cold and ancient and amused.
You want to scream. You want to run. But you can’t.
The flame grows, stretches, curls forward like a hand reaching out — and when it touches your wrist, it doesn’t burn. It marks. Like it’s branding you.
“You are going to be mine.”
---
You wake up gasping.
Your body jerks upright in bed, heartbeat hammering against your ribcage. The room is dark again, but now it feels different. Colder. Still.
You grab your phone with shaking fingers.
3:17 a.m.
No new messages.
Just that quiet hum from outside.
But the sensation remains — a ghost of heat along your wrist, a whisper in your ear, and a presence behind your eyes that shouldn’t be there.
You press your palms to your face and inhale slowly.
It was just a dream.
Just a dream.
But as you lie back down and try to calm your breathing, something in your chest knows better.
That fire — that voice — isn’t finished with you yet.
---
The remnants of the nightmare cling to you like a cold shadow, a weight pressing down on your chest that sleep can’t quite shake off. You’ve barely closed your eyes when the darkness creeps back, weaving through your thoughts and wrapping itself around your heart. The hours of restless tossing blur into dawn. You didn’t sleep much. Too scared to stay in bed, to close your eyes again.
Eventually, you push yourself up, muscles stiff and mind raw. The pale light spills through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the room. You don’t want to dwell on the heaviness lingering inside — instead, you decide to start the day early, before the anxiety swells again.
As you move through your room, pulling your hair into a bun, and pick a pair of jeans and a tee. Basic outfit for a long day. Then you hear a notification from your phone.
You glance down to see a message from Mistery.
Mistery 7:45
Are you awake?
You tap back quickly.
You 7:46
Yeah. Just getting ready.
The reply comes almost instantly.
Mistery 7:46
What are you doing today?
You sigh, half amused.
You 7:47
I have to spend a ridiculous amount of time buying fabric. Lots of it.
His response is playful.
Mistery 7:47
Can I come? Don’t want you to be bored or kidnapped by the bolts of cloth.
You can’t help but smile.
You 7:47
I would love to! I don’t want to be kidnapped by the fabrics, see you in 20 :)

Morning light filters in through the large windows, casting long beams across scattered clothes and equipment. Mistery rises from his bed, stretching his lanky frame beneath the soft sheets. But there’s a tension hanging in the air — a heaviness none of them can shake off. Gwi-Ma’s warning still echoes in their minds, chilling and relentless. The demon king’s threats weren’t idle, and the boys know better than to ignore them.
Yet, despite the caution, their resolve is weakening. YN has begun to root herself deeply in their lives. Her laughter, her quiet strength, the way her presence calms and ignites at once — they’re falling for her harder than they thought possible.
Mistery swings his legs off the bed and get ready to leave, his thoughts wander back to last night’s dinner. He remembers how YN looked under the soft glow of the dining room lights. Her face illuminated just enough to catch the subtle curves of her features—the delicate arch of her brow, the way her eyes flickered with quiet strength and something vulnerable beneath. The way her hair caught the light, casting faint shadows against her neck.
There was a calmness about her that night, a softness that made the air around her feel lighter, even amid all the noise and tension of their lives. Her small smile seemed to reach all the way to him—gentle, honest, like a quiet invitation to understand her better.
That memory grounds him even now. It reminds him why he’s drawn to her so strongly — why the warnings and threats feel distant compared to the pull of her presence.
Just as he’s preparing to leave, Romance step out of his room. Their eyes meet, and Romance’s expression softens with understanding.
“Relax. We’ve got you covered with Jinu. Just... make sure she’s okay,” Romance says quietly.
Mistery nods, his lips curling into a small, grateful smile. “I will.”
And with that, he slips out, leaving the apartment behind to meet YN.
---
Back with you.
You’re stepping out of the tower, the city already alive with the morning buzz. Your bag is heavier than you expected, filled with carefully chosen fabrics and scraps of notes. You glance around and see him — Mistery — waiting just a few blocks away. A single coffee in hand, casually dressed, hood pulled low but lilac hair catching the sun.
He smiles when he sees you.
“No breakfast?” you ask, amusement in your voice.
He shakes his head. “Didn’t want to pressure you. Thought this would be better.”
You nod, appreciating the thoughtfulness. The day ahead feels less daunting with him there.
---
The city’s hum fades softly beneath the rustle of fabric and the muted chatter of shopkeepers. You and Mistery move side by side through the maze of the fabric district, colors and textures blooming around you like a living palette. It feels surreal to share this space with him—this quiet boy who hides behind lilac hair and guarded eyes—now slowly opening, thread by thread, like the delicate cloth in your hands.
You reach out to touch a bolt of deep midnight blue velvet, running your fingers over its plush surface. Mistery leans closer, watching you with that curious calm.
“That one would catch the light beautifully on stage,” you say, voice low, almost to yourself.
He nods. “It’s rich. Dramatic.”
You smile, feeling the first flicker of warmth beneath his usual reserve. “Exactly what I want for Baby. Something that matches his energy but also... hides a bit of mystery.”
He chuckles softly, the sound rare and precious. “Like me?”
Your eyes meet briefly, and the quiet acknowledgment passes between you—unspoken but understood.
As you move on, you pick up a sheer, iridescent fabric that catches the light in a dance of soft pinks and purples. “This one feels like Romance,” you muse. “Light, playful, but with depth.”
He watches your face as you talk, the way your eyes light up with each choice, and something shifts in his posture—less guarded, more present.
You pause by a rack of patterned cotton, the prints wild and bold. “And for Jinu, something comfortable but strong. Something that says ‘I’m here, but I don’t need to shout it.’”
Mistery smiles, a gentle curve this time. “Fits his quiet confidence.”
Between bolts and bolts, the conversation deepens. He asks about your process, how you envision each costume shaping not just their look, but their presence on stage. You explain the nuances—the way fabric moves, breathes, responds to light and shadow. He listens intently, fingers occasionally brushing a fabric’s edge as if trying to grasp more than just the material.
You talk about your past, not in detail, but in moments—how perfection was expected, how mistakes were costly. His silence encourages you, a quiet harbor in a sea of memories.
The sunlight spills over the sidewalk like warm honey, painting soft gold along the edge of every window as you and Mistery step out of the last boutique. Your fingers are looped through a few shopping bags—nothing fancy, just soft cotton T-shirts, oversized hoodies, and some pastel pieces you’ll later tailor into something more stage-worthy. Romance had insisted on pink. “Soft boy energy,” he’d said. You didn’t argue. It would contrast beautifully with the more aggressive concept of their debut. Besides, you already had ideas brewing.
At one point, Mistery looks at you with a rare softness. “You carry a lot,” he says.
He leans forward, voice barely above a whisper. “Thank you for letting me come today.”
You meet his gaze, feeling the sincerity ripple beneath his words. “I’m glad you did.”
Mistery walks beside you, holding the iced teas you picked up from the café across the street. He hasn’t said much since you left the store, and you can sense the weight behind his silence. There’s something brewing in him, something tender and hesitant. You don’t push—not yet.
It isn’t until you find a quiet bench tucked under the shade of a tall tree that he finally speaks.
“Have you ever… felt like there’s someone inside your head,” he starts, “whispering that you’re a mistake?”
You look at him slowly. He’s not looking at you, just down at the condensation on his cup, thumb running a slow, nervous circle along the plastic.
“Like… reminding you of every wrong thing you’ve ever done,” he continues, voice softer now, “every reason you’re unlovable. And no matter how far you run or how loud the world gets, that voice—” he lifts his eyes to you, “—never leaves you alone.”
You take a slow breath. Then nod.
“Yes,” you say, your voice just above a whisper. “I know exactly what that feels like.”
His expression shifts—not surprised, but something gentler. He swallows once, like the truth is thick on his tongue.
“But when I’m with you,” he murmurs, “it’s gone.”
You blink.
“That voice,” he repeats. “It just… stops. I noticed it last night, at the apartment. You were sitting on the couch, not even talking, just... there. And for the first time in forever, it was quiet. Like my mind could breathe again.”
Your heart pulls, aching with the quiet honesty in his voice.
He exhales slowly, his gaze dropping back to the drink in his hands. “That’s why I asked to come today. It wasn’t just the errands. I wanted to feel that again.”
You reach over, gently brushing your shoulder against his. “You can always come with me,” you say softly.
He gives you a faint smile, but there’s still something hovering behind his eyes.
“There’s something else,” he says. You sit up a bit, waiting.
“I was sick for a long time,” he murmurs, voice low but steady. “One of those strange illnesses no one really understands. Something neurological. Rare. The kind of thing doctors don’t really know how to handle. It almost killed me.”
You say nothing. You can feel the air shift around him.
“I don’t remember much. Just flashes. Bright lights, my mom’s hands shaking, whispers of bad news in the halls. The fever, the pain. I made it through, somehow.”
His breath catches before he continues softer, “It took my voice away. I spent years unable to speak, like my voice had just… vanished. It left something else, too. A mark.”
He raises his hand slowly, fingers brushing aside the lilac strands of hair that have always hidden part of his face. Then—quietly, deliberately—he tucks the hair back.
And shows you.
One eye, deep brown and warm like tea, summer caught in its depths.
The other, pale gray, almost silver, clouded in the center and ringed with a faint scar that curves delicately across the skin like smoke.
It’s not ugly. It’s hauntingly beautiful.
But the way he looks at you—as if bracing for rejection—makes your chest ache.
“When I was a kid, people stared,” he says quietly. “Asked questions. Some parents told their kids not to play with me. So when I grew up, I learned to cover it. And now that we’re about to enter the industry…”
He hesitates, then adds with a bitter smile, “I’d rather keep it that way. No one wants to see an idol with imperfections.”
You don’t hesitate. You turn fully toward him and say clearly, “I do.”
He looks at you, vulnerable, searching.
“I see you. All of you. And this—” you lift your fingers gently, not touching but hovering near his scarred cheek, “—this isn’t an imperfection. It’s a story. A victory. You survived something most people couldn’t. And you didn’t just survive—you’re still here, creating, performing, caring for others.”
His breath catches again. His lips part slightly, as if he wants to speak but can’t find the words.
You keep going, voice soft and steady. “I think you’re brave. And beautiful. Both of your eyes. Both of your worlds.”
He blinks. Once. Twice. Then laughs softly—a broken, sincere sound.
“No one’s ever said that to me before.”
You smile gently, your hand moving on its own to cup his cheek.
“Myst …” you breathe, the name slipping past your lips without thought.
But he shakes his head faintly, his hand lifting to cover yours.
“Minjun” he whispers close to you face almost feeling it on your lips, you froze feeling like you cannot belive what he just said. “My name is Minjun,” he says, voice low but certain. “I want you to know it. You deserve to know it… so you can see who I really am.”
The sound of it—Minjun—settles deep in you, a quiet truth you weren’t sure you’d ever be able to let go of.
He takes a slow step forward, his gaze still fixed on yours. There’s a softness to it now, almost hesitant, but not unsure. Like someone who’s waited a long time to feel this kind of quiet.
"I didn’t mean to say all that,” he murmurs, voice lower now. “But when I’m around you, it’s like… everything’s quieter. I don’t have to pretend. I don’t feel broken.”
You don’t move, barely breathing.
His hand comes up carefully, fingers brushing a strand of lilac hair from your face. His skin is warm. Familiar. The kind of warm that stays even after it's gone.
You feel his breath first — soft and close — and then, gently, his lips on yours.
It’s not rushed. It’s not demanding. It’s a kiss that asks. A kiss that wonders. It tastes like honesty and something tender he hasn’t said yet. It melts into you slowly, like mist over calm water.
Your fingers curl slightly at your sides before reaching up to his chest, resting there — not pushing, not pulling, just being.
Because being is enough.
And as his lips linger on yours, the world blurs. No voices. No shadows. Just him. Just this.
When he finally pulls back, it’s only by a few centimeters, and his forehead leans gently into yours. He exhales, shaky but soft.
“I’ve wanted to do that,” he whispers. “Since the day you walked into the living room like you didn’t know you were saving people.”
You feel the flutter in your chest. But you also feel the flicker of something else — not guilt, not confusion. Just the quiet awareness that you care deeply. That part of you wishes the others were here too. Not to stop this… but to share in something this gentle.
Still, this moment belongs to Mistery. And he’s given you all of himself.
A buzz breaks the silence — his phone lighting up in his back pocket.
He glances at it, then at you with a quiet, reluctant smile.
“I should go. Romance will lose his mind if I’m not back soon.”
You nod, blinking slowly, still dizzy with him.
He reaches for your hand one last time, presses a kiss to your knuckles like you’re made of something worth revering.
“Thank you,” he says softly. “For today.”
And then he turns, walking away down the quiet street, just a boy who finally let himself be seen.
You stand there for a long while before heading home — heart full, breath steady, the phantom warmth of his kiss still painting your lips.
---
When you finally return to the apartment, the hallway feels quiet compared to the day you just had. Your mind is still buzzing — with nerves, with hope, with the kiss that hasn't quite left your lips. Tomorrow is their debut. Tomorrow, everything changes.
The elevator dings softly, and as the doors slide open, you're greeted by the familiar light of your living room — and the sight of your three roommates gathered on the couch.
Mira sits upright, arms crossed, brows furrowed as she watches the chaos beside her. Zoey is perched on the edge of the coffee table, her raven hair messy from stress, holding up a steaming mug of questionable content. Rumi, swaddled in a thick lavender scarf, leans back against the cushions with a pillow hugged to her chest. Her face says it all: she’s tired, her voice is shot, and she wants nothing more than to disappear into the fabric of the sofa.
As soon as they notice you, three pairs of eyes turn your way.
“There you are,” Mira says, clearly trying not to sound like she was worried.
Zoey waves the mug like it’s a trophy. “Welcome back! You’re just in time for remedy number twenty-three: my miracle vocal tea!”
Rumi groans softly, muffled by the scarf. “No more weird infusions, Zoey. I’m begging you. I can feel my soul trying to escape my body.”
You blink and drop your bag, walking further into the apartment with a half-smile tugging at your lips. “What… exactly is going on here?”
Mira sighs. “The latest of Zoey’s homemade remedies. And Rumi’s slow, painful demise.”
Rumi lifts a limp hand in greeting, then drops it again. “Send help.”
You laugh softly and lower yourself onto the sofa between them. “No improvement?”
All three of them shake their heads in unison. Rumi looks exhausted, Mira looks resigned, and Zoey — Zoey looks like she’s about to explode from frustration.
“I swear it should’ve worked,” Zoey mutters, placing the mug on the coffee table with a little more force than necessary. “It worked for that K-pop trainee I followed two years ago, but maybe I boiled the lemongrass wrong or…”
She trails off suddenly, her eyes lighting up as if struck by lightning.
“Wait. Wait. I got it! Why didn’t I think of this before? It’s totally legit. Like, certified.”
Before any of you can ask what she means, she’s already scrambling for her phone, fingers flying over the screen at breakneck speed. You can practically see the thoughts racing through her brain faster than her mouth can catch up.
After a few seconds, she spins the phone around to show all of you the screen. A website. A clinic. Downtown.
“There! Tomorrow morning, we go here. It’s a voice specialist clinic, and the reviews are amazing. You’ll be good as new for the weekend, Rumi, I swear.”
You lean in with the others, studying the address. Something in your chest tightens. The location is barely a block away from the theater where the boys will have their live debut stage tomorrow morning.
You blink once. Twice. Perfect.
You lean back, trying not to let too much show on your face.
“I think it’s a great idea,” you say with a bright smile. “Actually, I have a commitment near there at 10:30, so maybe you could all come with me?”
Mira tilts her head, eyeing you curiously. “A commitment?”
Rumi raises a brow. “What, are you finally going to show us what you’ve been sneaking around doing for the last week?”
Zoey snorts softly, still hoarse. “If she’s not secretly a spy, I’ll be disappointed.”
You shrug, trying to keep your grin at bay as you pull your legs up onto the couch. “Maybe.”
The three of them groan in unison, but the room feels light again. Hopeful, even.
Tomorrow, everything begins.
