When he got there, he knocked, as he usually did, but as you sometimes did, the knocks were ignored. He chuckled to himself, thinking that you were probably just zooming around with headphones on and couldn’t hear him; it wouldn’t have been the first time that would happen, so he did what he had permission to do; he went to your mailbox and searched for the little nook in it where you hid your keys. You had a bad habit of forgetting your housekeys either at Junseo’s dorm or in your personal desk at work, so you decided that it would be good to have a backup plan for when that would happen, which you had told Junseo to take advantage of whenever he wanted to, since you trusted him with your home, even if you weren’t there with him.

He snatched the keys from where you’d hung them inside the mailbox and unlocked your front door, opening it casually like he would usually, thinking you’d hear that and come running to the front door to see him. But not this time; this time the apartment was silent. Junseo’s brows furrowed, worry invading his thoughts. You should’ve been off of work by then and you had said you were way too busy packing to go out with your friends at the time being, so why was your home so quiet that he was feeling as if he was doing something disruptive just by rustling a plastic bag? He toed off his shoes quickly and moved in to put the food and flowers in the, mostly empty, kitchen, walking swiftly into the bigger space. He stopped in his tracks and felt a smile creep onto his face as he saw your form lying on your couch. Your hair was wild as if you had literally just thrown yourself onto the cushions, with no regard to your hair possibly falling onto your face, which he wouldn’t be surprised if that was how it went down.

He looked you over; you had your big dress shirt on, something he loved about your style. When you got the job as a middle school teacher, you wanted to portray yourself as more professional but didn’t want to lose your personal style in that, and so your brilliant idea was to bring some of your love for street style/casual wear, with the oversized tees and huge jeans, was to buy oversized dress shirts, something Junseo had quipped at, mentioning that they were probably his size. You also had your tight slacks on, which looked considerably less comfortable than the shirt. Analysing the place, he could see that you had already devoured the cup noodle you were relying on for sustenance, and so was probably not that hungry. He quickly went out to put the food he’d brought into the fridge, always available to heat up later, and fill a big cup you’d sometimes use as a vase with water and a little sugar and put the flowers in there too, to make them at least look just as fresh when you’d wake up.

After making sure that the front door was locked and all the unnecessary lights in the apartment were off, he scooped you up with ease and walked you to your bed, making sure to put you down on your mattress as gently as possible, as to not wake you up from your needed sleep. He undid and slipped off your slacks but kept the dress shirt on you so that you could be comfortable, but also while making a mental note to wear more dress shirts himself, liking the idea of you borrowing them to lounge around in like this. When he had tucked you in, he went out into the kitchen again. He had come over to help you pack, and he still felt too energised to knock out with you, so he ventured into your kitchen again. You had specifically asked him to help you with the kitchen wares, feeling much better about there being an extra person there to help you handle the fragile glass and such, so without making too much noise, he wrapped up your plates and glass and packed them neatly in the box you had set out for it. One thing less for you to worry about when you woke up the morning after.

After getting the kitchen stuff packed it was an hour later and Junseo could feel his day catch up to him, exhaustion settling into his body. Pulling off his shirt but keeping his sweatpants on, he slipped into the bed beside you, softly wrapping his arms around you, humming to himself as he could feel your familiar warmth against him. He had always thought that you were made for him; you fit perfectly into his arms, into his heart and into his life, and he wished that he had more time to spoil you like he wanted to, but instead, he got moments like these, and well, he could never complain about that. He soon fell asleep, always finding it easier to do so when he had you safe and sound in his arms.

You woke up first the next morning as you had been the one to pass out first, feeling warm and content. You opened your eyes slowly so as to not blind yourself from the light coming from the window but found something casting a shadow over you from said light. You knew exactly who it was, even if the logical part of your brain that said that he’s the only one who it could possibly be hadn’t even woken up, you were sure; that was your Junseo lying with you. You could tell especially from the form of his body’s silhouette and from the arms wrapped around you, and then you could smell the lingering of his cologne mixing with his natural Junseo-smell that you adored so much. You nuzzled your face further into his body, taking in the fact that he was there and seizing the opportunity to enjoy every single second of it. You took your chance to place a few kisses on his broad chest, being the place where you could reach while being in his arms, wrapping an arm around him as well, giggling a little when you could feel his arms tighten around you. You had had a few mornings like these in the time of dating him and you knew all the right buttons to press by now to get Junseo to wake up the gentlest (with some help from his group mates who learned the hard way). You let your fingers travel up and down the expanse of his back, your nails dragging lightly, and you began talking to him softly, only stopping to place another kiss on his warm skin.

“Good morning, my love. Thank you for coming over and for caring for me like this. You're really special; I have no idea how I got so lucky as to get to be with you.” You were about to go on, knowing that Junseo loved waking up to the sound of your voice speaking to him, but it seemed as if it had worked a lot quicker than you had anticipated this time; “I’m the lucky one here,” Junseo grumbled, his morning voice hoarse and, not that he’d ever agree that it was; cute. A smile spread on your lips, blinking up at him with all the love you could muster. “Agree to disagree.” You kissed his chest again and felt one of his hands come up to brush your hair out of your face, looking down at you with a sleepy smile. “When did you come over last night? I don’t remember letting you in.” You questioned and he groaned, digging for the memories in his still sleep-hazy mind. “I think it was around 7:30 or 8 pm? You were knocked out on the couch when I got here.” You took in the words said in his raspy voice. “Sorry about that, I don’t know what happened,” you said in a light-hearted tone. He smiled down at you and loosened his arms around you to stretch them and give you some of your space back. “What happened was that those kids you love teaching so dearly are energy vampires,” he whined and leaned down to nuzzle his face into the crook of your neck. You laughed at his words; “energy vampires?!” He nodded and you could feel him pout against your skin. “Yeah, and when I finally get to have you all to myself, you’re sucked energy-dry!” You laughed even harder and brought your arms up to hug his head even closer to your body. “Oh no, I am so sorry, honey! You know I’m a sucker for those small creatures,” your puns just made him groan even more and suddenly he was escaping from your embrace with you giggling and fighting to keep him hugged to your body. “No, let me go! You're awful for punning me when I've just woken up.” He finally broke free and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. You ended up hugging around his waist, smiling up at him as he looked down at you, your head peeking just around his body.

“You know I’m gonna hold on and be dragged after you if you try to walk away,” you had a certain tone when you told him so, making him think that you were absolutely not bluffing but also knew that he wouldn’t do that to you. What you didn’t know was that he had woken up with an abundance of energy, ready to deal with your silly attitude. With one swift motion, he somehow grabbed a hold under your arms and lifted you up while turning you in the air, placing you over his shoulder, all the while standing up from the bed, making you yelp out in surprise. You knew he was strong and that your weight was really not a big deal to him, but it still surprised you when he just did stuff like that. He walked and spun around with you on his back, mostly to hear your squeals and giggles, only to grab you and throw you onto the bed again, making sure not to throw you far enough so that your head would hit the headboard, throwing himself on top of you, snaking an arm around your body again, to hold you close, while using the other arm to hold himself up. As your giggles died down, the two of you just looked at one another, smiles growing softly on both sets of lips. Junseo leaned down slowly and tenderly placed his soft lips on yours, kissing you properly for the first time since he’d seen you this time. The kiss was delicate and infused with love and went on until the both of you were lightheaded, and by the time you’d separated, there were ten fingers in some hair, four cheeks red with heat and two foreheads touching each other.

The first one to utter any words was Junseo; “let’s just melt into the sheets together for a little bit more.” And you had no objections whatsoever.

E-Chan

changmin has a lot of roles when on set

he's out there doing what he needs to when filmed

and keeping up morale among the members

and monitoring them to help them achieve their best selves in the video

of course he shares the job with dongil, which he is so grateful for, since dongil is the best at keeping the kids entertained

but when he sees you show up in the background, he forgets everything about being professional right then and there

you can see his face light up from the serious and beautiful expression he has on as he does his part in the video

you giggle as he sprints over to you and lifts you into his arms, holding you close as he spins you around

he's laughing, you're laughing, some of the members are giggling in the background

the only ones who aren't laughing are the staff who had to pause because of this little interruption

"Minnie, i didn't want to distract you!"

he doesn't care

he absolutely doesn't mind their manager whining behind him either

at some point you try to wiggle your way out of his grasp, but um..

it doesn't really do anything

until you poke at his sides, his body flinching as you take advantage of the fact that he is very ticklish

after being let go, you grab his shoulders, twist him around and slap his butt to send him onto the set again

him looking back at you with a smile so big that his cheeks are hurting

but hey, now he has new motivation to work as hard and as fast as he can to go back and be with you until he is needed again

Teo

seongsik's already goofing off on set, to the delight of everyone

he's serious when he needs to be

but when the camera cuts for a new take or a change on set

his cute and goofy nature turns on

when he has a break in shooting, either from the crew needing to change some things or another member having to do solo shots, he usually goes and hangs out with some of the members

or do stretches slash rehearsing for something coming up in the shoot

but dongil thought up a devious little plan

(devious in the way that isn't devious at all, but the scheming and sneaking around makes it feel like it is)

he has been messaging with you, figuring out when was the best time for you to come and surprise your boyfriend

so when you arrive, you're hurried into a spare room and told the game plan, dongil ending it with a "fighting"

you remember thinking that he's having way too much fun with this but that thought went away as soon as you saw seongsik

you looked back, getting a thumbs up from dongil and then sneaking up behind your boyfriend

you quickly jumped onto his back and put your hands over his eyes, trying your hardest to hold in your giggles

"wonnie, not again!" seongsik whined, thinking you were dongil

apparently, the schemer had done this all day to prepare to surprise your boyfriend as much as possible

you both let him struggle a bit before dongil called out from the other side of the room; "i'm not doing anything!"

with that seongsik stilled and slowly put his hands over yours

as soon as his vision was freed and he could take a look at you, he squealed with excitement

after that, the shoot went pretty much like it had, only now seongsik hung out with you in the breaks

and turns up his cuteness for you (who's behind the camera), waving to you every time he gets a chance

D1

as one of the leaders, dongil tries his best to be one of the least troublesome on-set

but of course, dongil is gonna be his silly self

and every time the time calls for it, he pulls a goofy face or does something funny

some of the reasons you fell for him in the first place

but he's a professional and he'll never let the flow of the shoot suffer for his actions

that is when he can control those actions

you see, dongil has a hard time,, pulling his focus away from you when he's around you

which was why he was so hesitant to bring you around work

but when he said it wouldn't be a good idea for the nth time for you to come around and watch one of their practices, you had confessed that it made you feel like he was ashamed of you

which absolutely broke his heart

he tried telling you that it was because he wouldn't want to stay away from you, but you didn't seem convinced

so he folded and invited you to come see him at the music video shoot

he said to come at a specific time, when there wasn't much left, mostly filler shots of them walking or sitting around

he thought that would be the easiest to handle

but alas

when he was supposed to look all stoic and idol-y, his eyes drifted over to you, bringing a smile to his face

he mentally slapped himself every time they had to call for another take, knowing the makeup team would be on his ass if he messed up their work, but no

his eyes still drifted

until his manager had to be hard on him and say that you had to leave if you were such a distraction

you had to giggle when he finally came to collect you from where they'd put you after he was done

he couldn't stop whining and hanging onto you, telling you this was the exact reason he couldn't have you around him at work

GK

gwanghyun is usually very chill, as you've learned

he's very calm-spirited

also around you

and it's not that he isn't excited when you suddenly show up to the set of the set for their new music video

but he's not bounding towards you like some overgrown puppy (ahem changmin)

he just sends you a small :] smile when he spots you waving at him and does his best to focus until he has a break, where he goes over to you

you had made him lunch, a few sandwiches really, as you remembered him saying that he never really gets the chance for a good lunch when they're shooting

you have been listening well to when he'd talk about food during comeback season

so, you made two sandwiches with chicken and salad and thin slices of bread

it still fills up but it should be alright for his dieting

you always grew worried for him during this time, wondering if he was eating and sleeping

and gwanghyun knew so, so when you asked him if you could have lunch with him, he kissed your cheek and accepted with a smile

the others knew that he preferred to spending a little quiet time with you and therefore stayed away until they had to call him back

he planted a sweet kiss on your forehead and pulled you in for a hug, thanking you for the food and the company

"I'll be okay, sweetheart. i'll see you later, yeah? i can come over after work"

you sighed into his embrace and nodded, looking forward to spending more time with him, something that didn't happen a lot during promotional periods

you waved at each other as you left him to go back to work, feeling better now that he had reassured you

The both of you stood there for a while before he placed a small kiss on your forehead, breaking the small bubble that had built around you. “I had something planned for tonight, but I'd get it if you aren’t up for it,” you shook your head. You loved all of Seonghwa’s plans, they always managed to lift your spirit and bring warmth, happiness and a sense of belonging to your soul. “Please, Hwa, I’d love whatever you had planned.” You looked up at him and saw his eyes shine for a split second before a smile spread over his gorgeous lips. You found yourself staring at them, reminded that you hadn’t even kissed him yet; “I want a kiss first, though,” you pouted, and he chuckled lightly, leaning down to gently place his lips on yours, pouring every bit of love he had reserved for you into the connection. He pecks your lips a few times after, leaving you satisfied with the affection for the time being.

He grabbed your hand, looking down at it as he intertwined his fingers with yours, loving the feeling of your warmth and his becoming one, and then started pulling you along to your living room where he had lit a sea of candles, some of them scented if your nose wasn’t playing tricks on you, though the same scent, thankfully. There had to be over two dozen candles, they lit up the entire room in a warm glow that cocooned you in serenity. You looked up at Seonghwa, who had his eyes trained on you the entire time, taking in every little way your face changed with every little piece of happiness you found in his display. His lips spread wider in a more pronounced smile, and he took a small step towards the coffee table where he had two boxes of LEGO flowers ready. Your face broke into an expression of pure happiness and excitement, and you took his hand again when he reached out for you, helping you down to sit on the soft and fluffy rug that was just beside the coffee table.

You couldn’t help but think that you hadn’t ever known peace like you had, sitting on the floor in silence as you and your lovely boyfriend were building your own little LEGO set of flowers, only giggles disturbing the comfortable silence as you saw when each other were struggling to fit or even find a piece on the rug, helping one another out with the search for whatever was needed.

Seonghwa was the first to finish, as you had expected him to. It wasn’t that he was better or that you didn’t like to build LEGO sets, but he simply had more practice with the mechanics of building sets than you had, absolutely geeking out about LEGO, which made it that much more special when he wanted to build something with you, letting you into his little world of wonder, trusting you with his childlike joy for creating. He took your non-dominant hand and started kissing the back of it, until you, in a fit of giggles, had to tell him that you needed both of your hands to finish building the flowers, only then letting you go to let you continue building as he burrowed his head into the crook of your neck instead.

When you were finally finished, you held the flowers up for him to inspect and he held up his own flowers and brought them to yours, like you were holding glasses and was cheers-ing with them, which brought you both into a fit of laughter. While you were recovering, hand on your stomach, he was retrieving a glass vase, putting his own flowers in there on display, leaning down with the vase in hand for you to let your own creation join his, together where they belong.

You had expected him to walk away to put the vase down on a table somewhere in your apartment, but he just looked you in your eyes with the sincerest look he had given you all evening; “the day these flowers wilt is the day my love for you is no more.”
