A/N³: Stream LIKE ME right now!
The orange glow of the stage lights bathed everything in warmth, catching little glints in the shelves to the left of the stage, bouncing off the glossy top of the coffee table sitting between the two orange couches.
Y/N, standing just off-stage behind the curtain with the crew, had that weird ache in her chest she always got right before the surprise segment. She could practically feel the excitement coming from the fans, like static electricity tingling across her skin.
She pressed her lips together to keep from smiling too hard. She already knew what the surprise was. I mean, how couldn’t she? She was in it.
She leaned forward a little, peeking past the thick curtain, watching the boys from her hidden little corner.
Nick was lounging - well, more like bouncing - in his seat on the left couch, leg jittering, fingers tapping on the cushion, clearly vibrating with excitement. Matt and Chris were sharing the right couch, the former sitting up straight with a smile. Chris, meanwhile, was leaned back with one arm stretched along the back of the couch, his head tilted in curiosity, eyes glued to the giant screen in front of them.
And then, it started.
The big screen flicked to life with a massive countdown in bold white numbers against a glitching screen.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Everyone in the theater screamed. It was instant.
Echoing. Like someone had thrown gasoline on a fire and let it explode.
Y/N laughed under her breath, clutching her jacket at the chest. She swore her heart jumped with that countdown. It always did.
The screen flickered, and there they were.
Matt and Nick. Edited to be side by side, both in suits and ties, serious expressions. Nick was adjusting his already-too-tight tie, and Matt was patting down his shirt collar, eyes locked with the camera lens.
The crowd absolutely lost it.
Nick leapt up from his couch like someone had shocked him and started doing these little bouncy jumps toward Matt, his face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. His feet barely touched the ground, boots thudding heavily against the stage floor.
"Oh, Nick." Y/N whispered to herself, soft smile decorating her face, watching Nick’s expression explode into a wide grin as he reached Matt and wrapped him up in a huge hug.
Matt hugged him back with one arm and held the mic to his mouth with the other.
"I’m so excited."
Nick pulled back from the hug, mic now in his hand.
"We've been talking about this all day." He said, turning to the audience. "And I'm so excited that we're about to show this to you guys. I feel like me and Matt don't have many duo moments, right?"
The theater roared with approval, stomping and clapping and shrieking. Chris raised an eyebrow from the right couch, side-eyeing them both with an amused but skeptical expression.
"Oh, here we go." He muttered into his mic, finally standing up.
Y/N bit her lip, stifling her laugh as Chris casually strolled over to the left couch Nick had just vacated, flopping onto it in one fluid motion, stretching out like he owned the place. Which, well, he kind of did.
"Alright, I’m curious." He said, grabbing a throw pillow and hugging it. "I’m suspicious, but I’m curious."
Nick, still standing, grinned mischievously, and held up a single finger.
"Okay." He started, pacing a little as he spoke. "Before we play this video, I know you’re excited. I know you’re screaming. I know you’re probably on the edge of your seat."
People in the front row giggled, phones held up and already recording.
"But this surprise?" Nick continued, voice dropping dramatically. "It’s a little dramatic. It’s a little drama. And it’s gonna be amazing. But I need y’all to listen while you watch it. ‘Cause we only get to watch this once, alright? And I want to make sure that you have the best experience watching it. So, be excited, laugh, but listen, and let's get into it."
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Matt gave Nick a quick shoulder bump before the two of them made their way back to the right couch, both of them trying to suppress the stupid, excited grins tugging at their mouths.
Y/N clutched her chest.
The screen flickered again.
And the video began.
Matt and Nick sat on the edge of Matt's bed, both in crisp white long sleeves, shoulders brushing, Matt with his backward baby pink cap on.
"Me and Matt have some major plans today." Video-Nick said, not even waiting a single second to properly greet the camera. "And it all kinda involves shitting on Chris... Basically, Chris hasn’t done his fair share of shit on us, and going to the studio with his friends and making a diss track seemed just fair."
And that was when the place went feral.
People screamed. Hands flew over mouths.
On the right couch, Chris’s head whipped toward his brothers so fast it was a miracle he didn’t pull a muscle. His face was this perfect blend of betrayal and disbelief, pinkish lips parted in a dropped-jaw expression, blinking like he’d just been slapped.
And before he could even grab his mic to react verbally, Matt’s voice echoed again from the screen.
"Besides Chris’s friends, there’s gonna be another very important person in there with us to help create this diss track about Chris." He turned his head on the video to Nick beside him and added. "Also, Nick has never sung in a studio before. Not even once."
Video-Nick gave a little 'yeah, true' shrug and nodded.
"Never touched a mic for singing, actually. Either way, I feel like I’m more of a singer than a rapper, though."
"Chris needs a rap, not a pop song." Matt replied immediately, barely holding back a grin.
The crowd laughed.
Chris, still holding onto his mic like a lifeline, shook his head with this baffled little smile like he genuinely didn’t know how to react yet.
Then, cut.
The video jumped to a dimly lit studio room, those iconic blue neon lights casting this soft futuristic glow over everything. Matt stood in front of a mic setup, black headphones pushed over his ears, phone in one hand, looking relaxed but focused. He was glancing at someone off-screen.
"... If I have a visual cue of when the beat is gonna drop, it’s gonna be easier for me." He said, pointing slightly with the hand holding his phone.
And then, from somewhere just beside the camera, a familiar voice called out.
"Oh, you wanna see it drop?"
The second that voice hit, the entire crowd lost it.
Chris straight up jolted on the couch, body shooting forward like someone had zapped him. His cap almost flew off. His mic dropped from his hands to his lap - almost fleeing to the ground, and his whole expression screamed 'is that who I think it is?'
Because it was.
Video-Y/N's body walked into the frame. She had a big pair of headphones hanging around her neck, layered gold jewelry below it, catching the blue light.
She looked at whoever Matt had been talking to and nodded, her voice smooth and easy.
"Yeah, that would actually be very helpful."
That was it.
That tiny moment was enough to send the crowd into full-blown chaos. People jumped on their seats, screamed, you could barely hear over the shrieking.
Chris was still frozen with his mouth wide open, jaw starting to hurt, blue eyes staring at the screen, like his brain hadn’t caught up with what just happened.
And then he finally managed to react, dragging his mic to his lips like a man possessed.
"WHAT?!" He practically screeched, his voice cracking with disbelief.
Nick stood up, cracking up as he grabbed his own mic. He turned to where Y/N was obviously hidden behind the stage, grinning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest for this surprise..." Then he pointed his free hand toward the side of the stage. "Y/N, come out here, queen!"
And right on cue, Y/N appeared, that same smug little smile on her lips like she knew she just turned the theater upside down.
She walked to the center of the stage, waving sweetly to the audience, blowing a kiss toward Matt and Nick’s couch, then heading over to Chris’s one, her movements chill and confident, already used to being on a stage after standing on its side for six shows in a row.
Chris hadn’t taken his eyes off her. He stared at her the entire walk to the couch, his expression a mixture of love and betray.
Y/N plopped down beside him, letting her shoulder bump his casually as she laughed at the chaos around them, thighs touching his jeans covered ones, feeling instantly his body heat penetrating her skin.
Chris dragged his mic back up dramatically, his eyes following hers.
"Did you really make a diss track about your own very good boyfriend?"
The tone was so wounded, so fake-offended, the crowd roared.
Y/N just rolled her eyes, leaning in more - as if it was even possible with how close they already were -, plump lips covered in pink gloss pressing a quick kiss on his milky cheek, leaving glitter behind, and leaned back with a shrug, turning her head to the screen.
"Gotta keep you humble."
Chris stared at her like she’d just invented fire, completely smitten, then dropped his head back with a groan into the couch.
"Unreal..." He muttered into the mic. Though he was smiling so wide, it nearly broke his face.
On screen, Y/N turned to Matt, pressing just one side of her headphones against her ear, listening to what Matt and Nick had sung until now while waiting for the producer to do what Matt had proposed.
"'I’m the favorite child, you can go and ask your father' is literally the best thing you could think of, Matt." She said, eyebrows raised, half-laughing in this low, amused tone that came straight from her chest.
From behind the camera, Nick cackled.
Matt just nodded super fast, his whole face smug, a crooked smile already spreading.
"No, exactly! If he comes with that shit of 'Oh, I have the best tour surprise', dude, I’m getting my gay brother who watches RuPaul’s Drag Race four times a week and his girlfriend who’s obsessed with him to come to this studio and diss rap him for hours."
Y/N snorted.
"Guilty." She muttered, tossing her free hand up dramatically, one foot tapping the ground to the beat that was still echoing from her headphones directly to her ears.
The crowd was still going wild as everyone’s attention kept glued to the screen, the video now slowly fading into what looked like the start of a music video.
The screen lit up with Nick.
Back to the camera, hood up, shoulders squared, and standing in front of a closed elevator.
The hoodie was pitch black and decked out in silver spikes that looked like they could kill someone if he turned too fast, catching the dim light of the scene and gleaming like daggers.
The second his figure appeared, there was a wave of gasps.
"Oh my God." Chris's voice echoed from his mic to the speakers, his eyes darting from the screen to Nick and back again.
DING
The elevator doors slid open, and Nick stepped in without hesitation.
Inside the elevator, the vibe somehow got even cooler.
Matt was standing on the left, looking like he had just gotten out of an important meeting, body covered in an all-black suit. He gave Nick the quickest up-and-down look, raising his eyebrows before turning back to face the closed elevator door again.
The crowd was already going crazy again. People clapping, some laughing with his reaction.
But then the camera moved again, and there she was.
Right side of the elevator.
Leaning back on the wall like this was the most boring situation in the world.
Her body was covered in a black faux leather pleated mini skirt that sat low on her waist, a wide belt looped around it, thick and grommeted, fastened with a large silver buckle that sat slightly tilted.
The skirt was paired with a long-sleeved black mesh top, fitted close to her body, dotted with tiny, scattered rhinestones. Her sleeves extended into fingerless gloves that wrapped around her hands decorated with silver rings.
Black shiny boots to her knees. Choker on.
She had her arms crossed, one knee bent, chewing gum like she could not care less about the world.
She didn’t even look at Nick.
Didn’t acknowledge anyone.
Just chewed her gum with this bored expression.
And that’s when the entire room collectively combusted. Someone yelled 'HOT' so loud it echoed above the screams.
Meanwhile, Chris went through five stages of falling in love all over again in two seconds.
His eyes lit up like a fucking Christmas tree, and this huge smile just took over his face. The kind of smile you try to hide but it’s too late, it’s already there and it’s so obvious you’re whipped.
His body acted almost on instinct, reaching for Y/N and just gently wrapping his arm around her shoulders. His fingers pressed into her upper arm like he was making sure she was real, and he tugged her softly until she leaned into him.
Her laugh was caught in the mic, soft and warm, tilting her head to look at him, but Chris, still staring at the screen, shook his head with the most insane look of awe.
"That's my girl right there, everyone." He said into the mic, taking more screams out of everyone.
Y/N didn’t even try to hide her grin. She leaned fully into him, nuzzling her head briefly on his covered shoulder before turning to look at the big screen like everyone else, her cheeks a little pink from the screaming crowd and the way Chris was looking at her like she hung the moon.
[When you get dressed, you should think a little longer]
On screen, the elevator dinged once more. The doors opening.
Only Nick stepped out, walking to the corridor that stretched in front of him. Neon purple lights on the ceiling. He walked forward, still not looking at the camera.
[First verse + Chorus]
[... Yeah, he wanna be just like me]
The space was bathed in neon purples and soft violets that kissed the black, curved walls. One big circle light glowed from above, dead center, like a spotlight from another planet.
And then, Y/N stepped into frame.
She moved with this crazy mix of confidence and chill, her steps slow and controlled as she slid into the middle of the frame like she owned the place. Half-lidded eyes decorated with shiny gems just below her lower eyelid locked with the camera in that way that made it impossible to look anywhere else.
"You talk big, babe, but you're softer than my skincare. Actin’ like a player, but your game’s just not there..."
Y/N’s voice wasn’t sweet. It was smooth, sultry, sharp as glass wrapped in silk.
The crowd gasped.
Literal gasps. Audible whispers.
"Holy fucking shit." Chris's voice sounded choked against his mic, his tongue poking out to wet his lips in a hypnotized manner, pupils intensely widening.
"You say you run the house, can’t find clean underwear. Yeah, I date you, it’s a choice, but let’s not go there."
She bounced gently with the beat, arms moving effortlessly, shoulder dips, slow turns causing her skirt to dance around plump thighs, little half-smirks on the beat drops.
[Middle verse]
[... I'm the favorite child, you can go and ask Mary Lou]
The music video jumped into the next part. Purple. Neon. Glowy and deliciously moody.
"Your brothers roast you, I just add the spice. Lucky that I love you, boy, I’m way too nice."
There she was.
Y/N on the screen, in that dim, vibey room, with a glowing purple haze washing over everything. She was standing front and center, with Nick and Matt behind her, each on each side of her.
Nick was bobbing his head from his place in the left back of the dark room, smirking.
Matt had this calm confidence on his face, nodding along in the right back, his arms moving to the beat while his eyes locked onto the camera, blue bandana moving with each movement.
A smug smirk stretched across her face, exposing the two tooth gems glued to her pearly canine teeth's.
Two silver stars, shining below the camera flash.
"The gems!" Chris yelled on the mic before pointing it to the big screen, blue eyes widening. "Oh, you're gonna have to use those every day now."
Y/N laughed, her body shaking against his.
"It looks amazing, doesn't it? I was the one who told her to use them." Nick nodded from his place on the couch, a smug look taking over his features.
"And we all say 'thank you, Nick'." Matt muttered against his mic, snorting.
Then the video flickered.
Now it was all white neon light. Their dark silhouettes danced and vibed in perfect sync. Just their outlines, glowing in white and shifting around with the beats.
"So sip your soda, flex that 'Rizz God' fame. But let’s be honest, you'd forget your own name."
Every word, she looked straight into the lens like she was talking to someone specific.
Back on stage, Chris turned slowly to her and narrowed his eyes.
"You’re lucky I love you."
"Aw." She said into his mic, pouting her lower lip with the fakest sweetness ever. "You’d forget your own name without me anyway."
[Last verse + last chorus]
[... Yeah, he wanna be just like me]
When everyone thought the music video was over with how the beat got lower, the final scene started.
The crowd screamed, gasping in surprise.
"Wait, what the fuck?" Matt's voice yelled from his place, echoing from the speakers and bouncing against the theater walls. "There wasn't-"
"The song ended... it ended with that chorus! Wha-" Nick picked up from where Matt abruptly stopped, body sitting a little more straight on the orange couch, frowning.
Dark neon purple again. But this time, deeper. Intense.
Y/N was back, alone in that glowing room.
She was staring straight into the camera, half-lidded eyes, lips already curled into that smug, almost daring little smirk. Her head purposefully tilted just slightly to the side.
She had a Fresh Love unreleased black cap pulled low over her forehead, the brim shadowing her eyes a bit. But not enough to hide them. Not even close.
They were sharp. Locked in.
Her lips were red now, glossy and full, a little too perfect.
And then, she rapped.
"Okay, but listen, he’s mine, so tread light. Y’all can joke, but I swing when it doesn't sit right."
And holy shit.
Chris audibly choked on stage.
Nick had to grab Matt’s arm, jaw dropping so hard that anyone who paid close attention knew it hurt.
Matt let out the longest "AYOOOOOOOOO" into his mic like he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
And the crowd?
Feral. Hands in the air. People screaming.
On the screen, Y/N's hands moved as she spoke, smooth and expressive. Her long black nails with silver glitter caught the light and sparkled as she pointed to herself on 'he’s mine'.
She looked down for just a split second, then licked her lips casually as the next line dropped.
"You call him the worst? Nah, he’s my favorite view."
She dragged that line with the softest rasp, just enough flirt in her tone to make the entire crowd go still for half a second like they needed to process it.
Chris's hand flexed around Y/N's shoulder, discreetly adjusting his hips and legs in a manspread position to try and hide how turned on he actually was, jaw flexing and adam's apple bobbing as he gulped, watching the screen like he could devour her video version with his eyes.
"Say what you want, but he’s better than the two of you."
The screen paused on her face for one last beat. Her smirk still there. Her eyes still locked into the camera like she was daring anyone to come for her man. Like she was saying, 'go ahead, try me'.
And then it all fades to black.
The music stopped.
And for a second, the theater was pure silence.
Until the crowd exploded.
Screams. Claps. Cheers. Laughter. Chaos. Literal hysteria.
Nick had his eyes still locked on the big screen, mic frozen halfway his mouth, while Matt glared at Y/N with a playful hard gaze.
"Oops?" Y/N pressed her lips in a fine line.
"How did you even record this part without us knowing?"
Y/N just sat there all smug, doing a little shoulder shrug.
"I just went back to the studio a week later. Me and the producer had it all planned since day one." Her eyes darted from Matt to Nick. "And then, I talked to the crew that helped us record the music video and asked them if we could film the last part and add it to the already edited MV. The one you both received didn't have this part."
"I'm shocked. This is actually insane, Y/N." Nick shook his head, looking at the crowd with raised eyebrows. "I guess we all were surprised tonight, guys."
Y/N jokingly rolled her eyes at him before turning to look at Chris with this soft little smile, one that was completely different from the cocky on-screen version of her. One from the girl who loved him too hard, who wrote verses like that not to roast him but to make him laugh.
Her fingers were affectionately tapping against the inside of his thigh, her arm resting comfortably above his legs, cheeks glowing with the most genuine happiness.
Meanwhile, Chris was just staring at her with this look, like she was the only person in the room before turning to the crowd.
"Y’all heard that, right? That was a threat." His eyes moved to his brothers. "I would watch my back now if I were you two."
Y/N giggled and grabbed the mic from him, casually resting her free hand on his chest.
"It was a love letter, babe. Relax."
The crowd screamed again.
Matt shook his head, fixing his cap before looking at her again.
"You’re so scary sometimes."
Chris snorted, pressing his mouth to the side of her head before turning to the mic again.
"I don’t care what anyone says... you’re better than all of us."
Nick nodded.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, the protector of Chris’s dignity, the queen herself, give it up for Y/N."
The cheers were deafening.
Y/N peeked down to the crowd, eyes wide, lips bitten back into a shy smile, shaking her head.
Under all the lights, with all the noise, the chaos, the screaming, Chris leaned in, whispering in her ear just for her.
"So just to confirm... I’m your favorite view, yeah?"
She turned to look up at him, eyes shining.
And without even thinking, she kissed him.
Just a peck. Quick, sweet. Pure instinct. Pure them.
Everyone screamed as loud as the whole crew thought it was possible, the stage shaking with it.
"Oh for fuck's sake- Chris!" Matt yelled, throwing his free arm up.
"CUT THE CAMERAS." Nick followed right after, standing up and waving his hand in a frenetic way, holding back his laugh.
Chris just held her tighter, his own laugh echoing like music around the speakers.

Mark Lee:
Maybe it was the 5th time that week that the thought came into his head, maybe it was the 6th time you and Mark had fought again that week.
The constant though kept on pressing his mind no matter how hard he tried to kick it out, it kept on finding its way out to the surface no matter how hard Mark tried to bury it
He does love you, he always did and he always will
So why were things feeling different all of a sudden? Why were his feelings changing all of a sudden?
The realisation hits Mark fast and hard like train.
Maybe a little too hard that he forgets to breath, maybe a little too fast that he tried to brush it off.
It hits again, even harder than before but slower, he brushes it off again shaking his head and closing his eyes
The third time it hits him, was when you kissed his cheek trying to make up all the cruel words the both of you spewed at eachother moments ago. This time it hits him softly but slowly.
This time he realises he doesn't love you anymore, atleast not like how he used to and it hurts, it hurts so fucking much.
But what hurts more was faking his love for you. Kissing you, holding you, listening to you tell him that you love him and that you not going to give up on the both of you without the knowledge that Mark had already given up.
He had given up months ago.
What hurt more was that he knew no matter how hard it was hurting him, that it would end up hurting you even more and that was the last thing he wanted, that was something he never wanted.
He takes you out on a date to your favourite cafe, it has a special meaning. It was the place you first met, the place you had your fist date and little did you know at that moment, the place you would have your last.
He doesn't order anything but asks you to order something for yourself. You knew something was wrong, Mark wasnt being himself. He wasn't cracking jokes or laughing awkwardly, he wasn't smiling at you nor was he looking at you but you just kept quiet. You guys were finally out on a date after quite sometime, you guys were arguing too much, too long. You didn't want to question anything.
"Mark?" You finally ask "is something wrong baby?"
Baby...that word felt so foreign to Mark, as if he was learning a new language, it felt so foreign for him to hear it from you. The way you said it, your tone, he felt his skin prickling because he couldnt recognise it. Not anymore.
"I'm fine...babe" his voice comes out so soft it scared you, but you didn't say anything, you didn't want to.
Time passes by, a little to fast for you too care, a little too slow for Mark to bear. He knew it was time. He just didn't know how he would tell you, he didn't know how he could tell you.
The both of you walk to the park nearby, you smiled upon seeing the yellow orange sunset, you eyes too distracted to see the pain in Marks eyes.
"Y/n" Mark says, not looking at you "mark? Is something wro-"
"I'm sorry" he chokes out, his voice barely above a whisper "I'm so sorry y/n-" he sobbs.
His eyes still refusing to meet yours.
"Mark? Babe what's goi-"
"Im so sorry y/n...but I- fuck"he swears midway his fingers massaging his temples as he tries to blink away his tears.
"I've fallen out of love with you" he whispers "I'm so sorry y/n but I don't think I can love you anymore"
Huang Renjun:
It all began with the small things, he realised he started to look at you in a different way.
At first it was nothing, he ignored it telling himself that it was because you guys spend too much time together, that it was just him getting used to you but slowly it started to become something else
He started to get annoyed at all the things he loved you for, the conversations you shared with him no longer had a spark, all the inside jokes were no longer funny. You no longer had that shine to your face, now you just looked ordinary to Renjun.
All the small things he used to find cute in you know just irritated him, all smalls things he used to adore you for was just felt like nothing to him. He felt nothing for you.
He knew something was wrong, he knew something was not right with him. He loved you so why was he noticing such things now? He loves you..right?
Its alright though, he tells himself again and again everynight when your fast asleep next to him as he's left all alone with just him and his thoughts.He loved you once he can love you again, it's simple.
But love doesn't work that way and Renjun knew it. He knew it deep down
That didn't mean he didn't try, he did try falling for you all over again like he did the first time don't get him wrong. He tried spending more time with you but ever second he spend made him feel bored, he talked to you but every conversation lacked interest. After sometime he realised that every moment he spend with you was dull.
He realised that all the moments the both of you shared was just like a passing scene to him. Like he poster he saw as he walked into the cafe nearby, or the people he saw in the park outside the cafe. It did happen, but it was just a passing moment, a passing moment which had no impact on Renjun.
Renjun realised that he couldn't bring himself to care anymore, atleast not like how he used to.
That didn't mean he didn't care for you, ofcourse he still cared for, he loved you at one point of his life. But now..there was feeling inside of him saying that he could live on without caring for you, he could live on without you.
At last, it stuck.
He gave in
He stopped trying.
It was him, who came clean at the end. He sat there right opposite of you as he ate his breakfast slowly
"y/n..I think it's time we end things"
At this point you had already noticed how things were going, how things were going to go. A part of you knew maybe even before a part of him did. You stopped trying to, you gave in too
"oh" you hated how soft your voice sounded, how fragile it sounded "okay"
Renjun hums in respond as he watches his cereal float in his milk "okay" he hated how he sounded. So selfish, so cruel
You both sit there in silence, both of you hating yourselves for how things came to an end, how things became how they were.
The both of you sit there in silence unable to say anything and the both of you end in silence, without saying anything,
After all you didnt matter to him anymore, at least not like how you used to.
Lee Jeno
Jeno's hand shook.
They've been shaking for some time now, they always seem to begin to shake whenever he thinks of you
"hey bud? You okay?" Jaemin's voice rang in his ear but Jeno couldn't muster back a reply, he was too scared.
"Jeno? You okay?" Someone shook him, Jaemin probably with his worried eyes and frowning face.
"y-yea" Jeno muttered "I'm fine-"
"you sure? You've been staying in that position for quite some time now?" Haechan asked with a worried look which Jeno tried to brush of with his smile "yea-"
A sweet melody fills the room interuppting whatever conversation was going on, as Jeno's left pocket began to vibrate, his phone lighting up against the coarse fabric of his jeans. Jeno freezes, it was the ringtone he set for your number. Only your number
"dude- your gonna pick that up? Isn't that y/n?" Mark asked the younger boy as he watched Jeno snap out of whatever trance he was in
"oh- oh yea...right y/n..." Jeno fumbles to retrieve his phone from his pocket as he gets confused looks from his friends
"y/n? Whatever happened to sweetheart or whatever he called her?" Renjun murmers to Mark as Mark just shrugs
Jeno stares at the contact name he saved you under, the little pink heart right next to your name and the butterfly emoji next to it.
He remembers him typing your contact name after you agreed to go out with him, giggling and smiling ear to ear as he added those emojis. He almost scoffs at his past self.
Butterfly's, how ironic. He always felt butterfly's around you, his heart will swirl and pump clashing against his body whenever he though of you but now, the thought of you made his hands shake, your name scared him. It scared him so much because he knew he fucked up. He always fucked up.
"Jeno you still didn't pick up-ow" Haechan shouts as Mark's hand hits his shoulder "you didn't have to hit me- he could have missed her call-"
"it doesn't matter" Renjun said a little shocked "he just did" his eyes slightly widened as he watched Jeno press the decline button
"I'll call her later it's fine" Jeno says giving them a strained smile muttering "it's fine..it's fine" over and over
"is everything okay between the both of you? Did she do something or?" Renjun asked his eyes still trained on Jeno
"no..she didn't do anything" Jeno shook his head, he did
5 bottles in and Jeno was gone, he never drank so much in his entire life.
"he drank as if he was going through something" Renjun murmered looking at Jeno's wasted body sprawled over the couch "as if something fucked up happened to him"
Little did Renjun know something did happen to Jeno, something so fucked up happened to him
Jeno was half concious half gone, he slurred his words, his brain was half working. He never lost control like this. Something pops up in his mind as he lays on the soft couch next to the table filled with empty bottles, right beside another equally wasted Haechan.
"Haechann" Jeno slurred as he spoke to the younger male "do you remember what you first told me when I started dating y/n?"
"huh? No..what did I say?" Haechan cocks his head towards Jeno, squinting his eyes confused by Jeno's sudden remark
"you told me not too love her too hard at the beginning or else I might run out of all my love for her.. .." Jeno says slowly looking up to the ceiling
"oh yeaaah" Haechan's face lights up, his eye widen as he remembers those words clearly "you punched me in the face after that-" Haechan's hand goes up to his cheek "I was just joking around but you ended up ignoring eachother me 3 days until I begged for forgiveness" Haechan begins to giggle
"right..sorry about that" Jeno cringes at the memory
"naah bro I took it too far" Haechan leans into Jeno's face "I know you love her, your never gonna stop huh loverboyyy?"
Jeno pauses. He nervously looks around, his hands getting sweaty. "Yea...I'll never stop loving her"
Haechan's word at that moment seem to have a lasting impact on Jeno, Jeno felt his entire body tensing up on hearing those words,he hated feeling this way. He needed something stronger, he needed something to numb his feelings
"what's wrong?" A not so drunk Mark asks Jeno holding a bunch of more drinks "nothing give me one-" Jeno stands up so abruptly that he nearly falls down only to be caught by Mark
"I think that's enough for you today buddy" Mark says worried "you sure you want one more?"
Jeno nodds his head as Mark hands him a bottle "that's your last one..yo are you seriously okay? Nothing happened with you and y/n?"
"no- nothing happened"
Yea. Nothing happened. He wished nothing happened, nothing should have happened.
"I'm so sorry for this y/n" A very sober very annoyed Renjun said to you as he held a very drunk Jeno infront of your door. "I dont know what happened but he lost control and got wasted..I would help you get him in but-" Renjun grunts as he tried lifting Jeno "I kind of have to send Haechan to his girlfriend too" beckoning to a equally wasted Haechan who was sitting in the car
"god- he drank quite alot huh" your nose crinkles as Renjun handed Jeno to you "did something happen?" You ask "he didn't even call me back"
"i- I was gonna ask you that" Renjun looked as confused as you did "he uh- nevermind y/n- sorry again but I have to go"
You watch as Renjun rushes down to the car to help Haechan who was trying to get out of the car.
"Jeno? Jeno- c'mon" you try shaking Jeno "just a few steps more baby you can do it-"
"don't call me that-" Jeno's voice slurs "don't call me that"
You laugh "what else am I supposed to call you then? C'mon let's go into the living roo-"
"anything but that...don't call me that" Jeno tries getting away from your grasp as he shifts his body away from yours
"Jeno? What's wrong-"
"y/n..I don't want to do this anymore"
"do what?" Your voice softens "Jeno your drunk come on lets get you to sleep"
"no..y/n I can't do this" Jeno looks at you in the eye "I can't keep on pretending y/n- I can't keep on pretending to love you"
You stop. Your entire body stops as those words come out of Jeno's mouth.
"Jeno- your drunk" you say firmly trying to ignore the slight waver in your tone, trying to ignore the pool of waters forming in your eyes
"y/n..I'm so sorry y/n I dont think I can love you anymore" Jeno whispers as he struggles to stand properly
"your just drunk.. let's go" you grab his hand, this time he takes it occasionally muttering a "sorry" here and there as you lead him to the room the both of you shared.
"I'm gonna go now" you whisper to Jeno as he layed there in the bed
"y/n..I really can't do this. I dont think I love you..not anymore" he says, his eyes shut, his head layed on the pillow "I can't do this.." he mumbles
"your just drunk Jeno..you don't mean it" you whisper as you kneel down to kiss his cheeks, ignoring the slight hammering in your heart. You feel Jeno freeze the minute your lips meet his cheeks and that just makes you feel worser "you dont mean it" you repeated your words.
You kept on repeating your words as you laid down at the sofa in the living room "You don't mean it Jeno" trying to convince yourself more that he doesn't mean it.
But drunk thoughts are sober thoughts, and you knew that. You knew it all too well.
Because the next day when Jeno wakes up he can't find you, nor can he remember the incidents that happened the night before. All he finds was a sticky note on the fridge
"your right. You don't, not anymore"
Lee Haechan:
Haechan fell inlove with you at first sight.
He loved you first, he confessed first, he asked you to be his lover first.
Is that why he was the one to fall out of love first?
Is that why he couldn't look at you the way he did that one Sunday morning? Is that why he couldn't look at you the way he used to anymore.
Did he ever love you? Were those feelings even genuine at a certain point?
Haechan hated constant routines, he hated the same things, he got bored easily.
But he never thought he would get bored of you. Past tense thought
The silence swallows him. It was never silent around him but these days that's all it seemed to be. Just you, him and the contant banging inside Haechan's mind, the constant storm inside his heart.
"hey y/n? I'm going out for a bit okay?"
You don't even turn around to look at him, just humming back a response "hm okay"
I suppose you didn't realise, that this was the only conversation you guys had, other than the daily "morning" wish.
Haechan slipped into his sneakers as he watched your figure sitting in the table doing whatever work in your laptop. Trying to find something, trying to find anything, anything to make him fall inlove with you again.
Haechan was halfway through the door when he heard you shout from the kitchen "Hyuk come home early okay?"
"oh oka-" but he was cut short
"and I love you okay?"
Why did it sound like a question? Why did your love for him sound like a question?
Why did his love for you sound like a question?
"I-" Haechan choked on his words "I love you..too"
He said it in a way as if he was convincing himself more than he was convincing you but it didn't matter, you didn't hear him anyways
He ran out of the apartment the both of you shared. Maybe if he ran fast enough he'll be able to run from the throbbing pain in his heart, maybe he'll be able to run away from the thoughts that filled his head. Maybe he'll be able to run away from you
He finally stops, his legs giving out as he flops to the bench in a park somewhere nearby, his lungs asking for air as he pants.
His eyes meet a small daisy growing next to the bench. You once described your love for him to a Daisy, that thought always made Haechan's heart speed up but now it would begin racing for a different reason.
He stares at the weeds growing near the daisy, the weeds were going to kill the daisy if someone didnt uproot them. But the scary thing was, he wanted the daisy to die. He wanted your love for him to die, just like the way his love for you did.
His hands trembled lightly as his breathing hitches up.
All he feels is regret and guilt.
He regretted meeting you, he regretted loving you, be regretted asking you to be his girlfriend. And he felt guilty for what he was going to do, for all the things he felt or maybe for all the things he couldn't feel. Not anymore, not like before.
Time goes by when your deep thought, time went by as Haechan refused to go back to the apartment you both shared.
He was scared. He was scared of what he was going to do.
The sun set and the sky is filled with orange blue colours. It was going to get dark soon, the clouds were getting heavier. Haechan heart was getting darker and heavier too, a little to heavy for him to carry, a little to dark for him to bear.
He finally decides to return, his thoughts however were still unclear.
"Hyuk? Where were you? Didnt I tell you to come home early?" You ask as you watch Haechan walk into the kitchen
"well..it doesn't matter now. Anyways surprise!" You exclaim as you gesture to the table full of Haechan's favourite dishes
"y/n- what's going on?" Haechan is caught off-guard, a little too off guard as he stares at the candle lighted dinner, as he looks at you all dressed up
"listen...I know things have been weird between us" you say smiling as your fingers knit against eachother "so..I thought we deserve a small break like a date- Hyuk?"
Your words are cut short as Haechan begins to cry, tears streaming down his face
"Hyuk- baby what's wrong" you immediately run to him, holding him gently in your harms it made Haechan cry even harder.
You watch as Haechan sobs into your arms worried "if it's about the date i-"
"no..no your perfect y/n" Haechan sobs "but your not perfect for me."
"Hyuk? Babe? C'mon talk to me. What's going on"
"I didn't mean to do it, I never meant this to happen" Haechan cries into your dress. You try pulling him closer to your body, wrapping your arms around him. You were too worried to notice the way Haechan's body tightened
"Haechan. What's going on?" You cup his face that was wet with his tears.
"I'm so sorry..I'm so sorry" his sobs filled the entire kitchen, the candles in the table flickering.
"Im so sorry y/n I'm so sorry I stopped loving you" Haechan sobs, his heart shattering even more as he felt you freeze. Your arm which was caressing him stopped moving.
"y/n I didn't mean it- I didn't" Haechan hugged you tightly "I don't know- I don't know what happened"
"Donghyuk"
Haechan stopped. That was the first time you said his full name. Not Hyuk, babe or Haechan but Donghyuk
"it's okay" you whispered to him as you still held him, not letting him go. You held him as he broke down even harder, as he sobbed even harder
"it's okay" you whispered again this time to yourself. The only words you could tell yourself were that it's okay.
The entire night, you held him. You held him for the last time just like how he held you for the last time.
You held him tightly in your arms not letting go of him as you felt him drift away to sleep. Whispering to yourself that it was okay.
To describe your love with Haechan was simple. There was one word which could easily describe what falling inlove with Haechan was like. It was like fireworks
So sudden, so loud but so so beautiful. Lighting up the dark sky with dazzling designs and patterns. It was love like no other. But there was a thing about fireworks which you seemed to have missed out
The vanish just as soon as they appear
Their bright colours fade away just as fast as they painted the night sky. Their spark just vanishes into the dark sky, leaving it empty again as if it never even was there at the first place.
Haechan's love for you was like fireworks, and like fireworks, it faded away.
So one of my followers revealed themself a Zionist after all the posts I shared about supporting Palestine
If you are supporting Israel after every fucking thing that has happened, get the fuck out of my face. You are supporting the genocide of a people. I do not want you following me. Fuck off.
no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.
fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.
