( 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒔. )

for someone who didn't want to debut as an idol or anything like that, he feels like he had been spending a hot minute locked away inside the practice rooms lately. but then again, he didn't want to slack off, even if he was planning to switch paths soon. what kind of impression would he be giving off if he was just slacking off? there was the chance the staff could turn around and say he can't, because they had seen him slacking off and would deem his work ethics quite literally, a joke. he wasn't the best singer, nor dancer, and especially not a rapper, but seyeon had been trying his damn best beneath the desire to switch paths already. which is why the moment he had the chance to take a break, oh, he was taking it. being cooped up inside practice rooms was one thing, but when it got hot, sweaty and stuffy? there was nothing more that he wanted than to run outside and get that first big, deep inhale of fresh air. even if it hurt his chest and throat with how chilly it was. he's just made it out of the front of the building when he spots hyoseop lingering around until he finds a ball. watching with a curious gaze, he has to bite his lower lip to hold back the laugh that threatens to fall from him. upon hearing his name, seyeon moves over towards him, an amused grin on his face as hyoseop says there's some idiot who kicked this ball into a tree, like he didn't just witness hyoseop lose it himself. "sure, why not. you wanna get on my back or?" seyeon jests playfully, thumb raised and pointing to his back.

hyoseop finds himself outside for his breaks a lot lately. it can get quite hot in the practice room, four guys practicing together and hyoseop has to attempt his best at learning dance, he’s come a long way, but he’s still able to look in the mirror and know he has a long way to go. the cold air hits different during winter for some reason, going outside and instantly be hit by cold air in your face. it’s calming, and hyoseop wishes he had more time to spent outside, would it be possible to practice his dance outside? then again, he would feel shy about practicing his dance somewhere everyone could see him and not just his members and the coaches.

kicking the ball right into the tree though, he hopes no one was watching him, not that it was too embarrassing, it just felt like it. grown adult plays with ball and loses it in a tree. he actually has no idea how long seyeon has been standing there, but he decides in his mind that seyeon hasn’t been there long enough to know who kicked the ball into the tree, and when seyeon doesn’t mention that it’s hyoseop who has done it, hyoseop decides to continue his lie that it was definitely not his fault.

one thing he found fun though, was the mix and match of trainees and idols in the building that he often found himself bumping into. just like now, with hyoseop staring sadly up at a tree and wondering what to do. part of him hopes that it was recorded on the cctv, because the sight of the ball being kicked into a tree and hyoseop completely lost as to how to get it down was beyond amusing. sorry, hyoseop.

first snow is always a surreal thing, but you know what's even more surreal? it starting to snow when you're outside in non-snowproof clothes. wrap up warm and wear those fuzzy furry socks!

Well, he will not go there. Not when another voice is calling his name and he's unconsciously placing a strip of tape over Seyeon's hand holding the banner instead of the thing itself. ( And he would like the apologize additionally later in case of any pulled out hair follicles when he tears the tape off to put it on its proper place. ) "Huh? Oh! Oh, shit, I'm sorry, hyung!"

now he was stuck with the internal battle of whether to pull his hand away from the wall and let the decoration fall to the floor, or to just stand there and suffer until kiyong returns to the present moment and helps him out.

he knows later on in the day, seyeon would find the scene entirely amusing, but right now his arm was aching and he wanted nothing more than to get this banner up and stuck to the wall completely. "thanks," seyeon breathes out, a sigh of relief at kiyong's quick thinking after he returned from his daydreaming. the several pieces of tape on his fingers have him laughing lightly, at least they were prepared for the other side. seyeon shuffles over the ladder slightly to reach the other side, holding up the other end and turns around to grab a few pieces of tape from kiyong's fingers and sticks them to the banner and wall. he hesitantly moves away, waiting for the banner to ultimately fall down but it doesn't, and seyeon releases a deep, much needed sigh as he lets his arms rest. and boy, did it feel good.

man had it felt like hyoseop had done nothing but practice lately. and it’s not like he has a choice, he’s a good rapper, but he’s just “good enough” at dance and singing. he has to improve his dance, and though he has no interest in singing, legacy has interest in him learning to sing. so he’s been in the practice room a lot, more than usual, but right now he really needed a break.

he walked outside to get some fresh air, the cold wind hitting him and making him feel alive, it was a bit cold with just a t-shirt on, but there was something so satisfying about the cold. he’d randomly found a football and soon enough found himself playing with it, kicking it around and doing tricks, and then of course, he kicks it too high and it’s stuck in the tree. he’s tall, but not tall enough to get it down.

spotting seyeon, he waves at the other “seyeon! hey, come over here!”, “there’s some idiot who kicked this ball into the tree, i was wondering if you’d like helping with getting it down?”.

he wasn't the best singer, nor dancer, and especially not a rapper, but seyeon had been trying his damn best beneath the desire to switch paths already. which is why the moment he had the chance to take a break, oh, he was taking it.

being cooped up inside practice rooms was one thing, but when it got hot, sweaty and stuffy? there was nothing more that he wanted than to run outside and get that first big, deep inhale of fresh air. even if it hurt his chest and throat with how chilly it was.

and then there are her... hobbies. the ones that she secretly indulges into. like reading y/n fanfics of her favorite celebrity of the moment. in fandom terms; she's a hard stan. the ones that want to see abs and muscular chests, that saves sweaty pictures of their faves (even better if their tongue is out), those who appreciate a good thirst trap. in other words; she had been bound to find seyeon's account one day or another. when it gone private, she never expected to ever see him again, especially not at legacy.

unable to hide her surprise upon recognizing him, seyeon realized right away who she was. or what she was maybe. either way, he knew that she knew and she knew that he knew and all of sudden she's making her way to the company's rooftop to meet him. guess that's what happens when she has too much time on her hands nowadays.

as soon as she makes her way out, he's already teasing her. she might be bad at hiding her expressions when taken by surprise, seyeon will quickly find out that she has wits about her though.

the idol leans back against the door that has just closed behind her and crosses her arms on her chest while shrugging. "well, it would've been rude of me not to come." the corner of her lips rise slightly. "and kind of awkward if we are to run into each other again."

it all started as just some playful remarks back and fourth, yet now he was on the rooftop of the company building, wondering, waiting for this one specific girl to show up, if she would. yet of course, he was pleasantly surprised. perhaps she had more to her than seyeon initially thought. he was intrigued to dig into her personality more, to say the least.

the surprise on her face has him laughing, clearly entertained by her reaction when earlier that day, she was giving it back to him just as he was giving it to her. he notes the way she's leaning back against the door, the stance and expression on her face and he feels like this could be a rerun of their previous conversation, with the same playfulness, the same wits and same teasing manners.

"so you came just to be nice?" seyeon questions, tone curious as he mimics her stance, folding his arms across his chest. "you think it'd be awkward? i think it'd be amusing, your expression when you saw me said a lot." he teases her lightly, an edge of his lip curling upwards into a small smirk.

Seyoon, the only one in the search party who didn't have to close his eyes, snorted with laughter when he saw where his fellow trainee chose to hide. What a truly amazing hiding place.

One of the kids tugged on his pant leg, wondering why he was laughing, and he quickly let her know it was nothing and that she would find out...soon.

To be fair, they were just playing a game with some children, not trying to win $250,000 in that one reality show where people had to hide from highly skilled investigators. Seyoon supposed this was good enough. Regardless, since they counted extra slow, Seyeon got his fifteen (ish) seconds of hiding time before the group came to hunt him down.

Seyoon allowed the pack to lead him, holding onto two little hands. He struggled when they wanted to pull him in different directions and bid them to negotiate. Before a conclusion could be reached, however, a third kid already discovered their target.

once the counting was down to zero, seyeon holds his breath, as if everyone in the room had super hearing and freezes up, teeth biting into his lower lip in anticipation.

it was almost like life or death, seyeon wonders whether he'll be attacked by a bunch of small children if he's found and chased around the room if he ran, or if he should just give in easily.

he decides on the latter, and it's only about 15 seconds later that he hears seyoon's cautious voice yell out and seyeon instinctively peeks his head out from behind the door wondering if one of the kids had hurt themselves, but instead he was greeted by a tiny body tackling him and it was game over before it had even started.

is it too early to start watching christmas movies? controversial question, is the nightmare before christmas a halloween movie or christmas movie? 🤔 i can confirm i did watch it before halloween and i'll even watch it this month!! 

He recalled scowling at his stepmother and throwing tantrums over her betrayal. Seyoon wanted to be an only child, and she hurt him by bringing a new baby into the family. Now, people won't pay as much attention to him. They won't just buy him toys and books!

She soothed him gently and placed the infant carefully into his not-so-strong child arms. This is another person who will love you, stepmother promised. He is your brother. Yours, Abie.

After that, Seyoon didn't mind the new baby as much. When the next two arrived, he even learned to hold them. He figured out how to properly wash baby bottles and stir milk powder. When they learned to talk and begged him to play, he always pretended to be annoyed but secretly loved being their entire focus. Yes, kids could be cute. Sometimes.

"Our Seyeon is quite good at hiding," Seyoon said, crouching down. "Are you sure you all are up for the challenge?" He tickled one enthusiastic kid on the cheek, smiling with a softness that was not typically featured on the wild Canadian party boy's face.

seyeon was currently having one.

he hums in agreement that he's good at hiding, exaggerating a nod of his head down at the kids as he playfully, gently ruffles a really cute kids hair who has the squishiest cheeks ever. seyeon has to hold himself back from squeezing them until he can't, and he sneaks a soft squeeze as the kid curls themselves around his leg. how cute, how was seyeon going to leave this place not wanting to adopt one?

when seyoon tells him to find a hiding place, seyeon's eyes widen when he realises he only had ten seconds to hide, and his eyes dart around the room. realistically, there weren't many places for him to hide. it was catered to small children, so everything was relatively small and being a 180cm tall man made it pretty difficult.

seyeon would never turn down the opportunity for a party, so when he heard that legacy was throwing another halloween themed event, he had already started planning his outfit. halloween was only one day a year, so why not make the most of it, right?

he wasn't too much of a gamer, but seyeon did dabble in a few games here and there. but admittedly, out of the gaming stations that were stationed around the venue, animal crossing was by far his favorite one, simply because he played that more than the others. and on top of that, there was just something so cozy about that game that made him want to almost live in it, in those amazing islands that people built that literally looked like a little town.

having lost track of the friends he had met up with, he finds himself wandering over to the games stations, debating on whether he wanted to try. most of him wants to, though a small part of him also wonders if he's forgotten all his console gaming skills after having only played pc games for so long.

it's about the exact second that he's about to decide fuck it, we ball that seyeon speaks, and iseul glances away from the smash brothers competition happening in front of him for a moment. "i've played all of these games," he says, amused and he indicates the pokemon games and animal crossing.

seyeon's pleasantly surprised at how many people seem to be hovering around by the game stations, and he feels like there's more people there than anywhere else in the place and he can't help but find it extremely amusing. it felt like a comic con of sorts rather than a halloween party, he was enjoying it.

he should have known that iseul has played all of the games before, he seemed like the type to enjoy gaming and seyeon wonders just how good he is. "really? when did you first start playing?" seyeon responds, curious tone as he averts his eyes back to the screen to watch, not entirely understanding what was happening on the pokemon stall. it looked like a fight, but he never played much pokemon or knew the lore, so he couldn't say for sure.
