martin

you and martin are that duo people notice immediately. not because there’s tension or romance, but because the energy is just right. everyone loves you together. no shipping, no assumptions, just appreciation.

he’s always joking about how small you are, resting his arm on your head like it’s his favorite habit. you fire back every time, calling him a walking universe lag because no human should be that tall.

you know each other’s worst and softest secrets. the kind that glue people together permanently. even if you tried to fall apart, you couldn’t. you’re those friends who half-jokingly promise to get married at 30 if you’re both single. half joke. half serious.

james

goofy, but only with the chosen ones.

when you first met james, all you got was his scary resting face. quiet. unreadable . you were convinced he didn’t like you. then one day, out of nowhere, he smiled at you, and that was it. the walls disappeared.

now he’s weird with you. loud. unserious. you talk about absolutely nothing for hours and somehow it feels important. you even have your own language. it doesn’t make sense to anyone else, but it doesn’t need to.

juhoon

selective doesn’t even begin to cover it.

juhoon chooses carefully who gets access to him, and where, and when. he’s calm, observant, guarded. but with you, he lets the noise in.

you talk constantly when you’re together, jumping from topic to topic like your thoughts are racing each other. but you’re also the person he runs to when he breaks. the only one he trusts enough to see him cry, unravel, be human. with you, he doesn’t have to pretend.

seonghyeon

sunshine, and the one who protects it.

you and seonghyeon should never be placed in serious situations together because you will laugh. one look, one breath, and it’s over. you’re both done.

he takes care of you instinctively, like it’s built into him. treats you gently, like you’re fragile even when you swear you’re not. completely platonic, deeply sincere. he tells you often that no matter what changes in his life, you’ll always matter to him.

keonho

hate at first sight. real, genuine hate.

you couldn’t stand each other in the beginning everything annoyed you. then one conversation happened and suddenly you were inseparable.

keonho is serious about your friendship. loyal to the core. you’re both childish alone, but together it’s chaos. inside jokes, stupid voices, zero awareness of the outside world. people either can’t deal with you or don’t notice you at all. honestly? perfect.

⚠️I’m writing about a healthy kpop world so, there won’t be any sort of violent hate on idols for dating, just normal fans that let idols have a normal life!!!

You’ve known Jihoon since before the spotlight, before the fandoms, before the screaming crowds. Back when he was just a boy with big dreams and sore feet from hours in a dance studio. You were there through everything — his first classes, those for multiple agencies auditions, the day he got into the “Trainee A” project with a nervous smile and shaky hands.

You were there the day the project got canceled too. When the hope in his voice cracked and his dreams looked like they were slipping. You didn’t leave. You never left. When he got the call about debuting in TWS, when he wasn’t allowed to tell a soul — you were the first person he celebrated with. Hugging, laughing, jumping like kids in that same studio you’d always practiced in.

Now, he was a full-blown idol — part of one of HYBE’s hottest groups — and you were still by his side. As a part-time dancer, you worked gigs, trained with him sometimes, and you never let the fame change your dynamic. The other members loved you. You were his home base, his safe place.

But things weren’t always smooth.

———

One random day, the internet exploded: Dispatch posted photos of Jihoon interacting with a female idol backstage at an award show. Just a bow, a smile, maybe a few words exchanged. That was all. But somehow, it spiraled — “Jihoon spotted dating ___ idol??” “TWS Jihoon dating rumors confirmed?!”

You saw it all.

And you told yourself it didn’t matter. You were just his friend. You had no right to feel anything.

But your chest tightened. You couldn’t stop thinking about it. Why was he smiling like that? Why did people keep shipping them? Why were they acting like they knew him better than you?

And then — your phone lit up.

———

[Jihoon 🐣💥]

OMG I DIDNT EVEN DO ANYTHING

I LITERALLY JUST TALKED TO HER FOR 10sec

what do i do

i didn’t even wanted to talk to her it just happened

tell me what to do pls😭😭

———

He was panicking.

You texted back, reassured him, told him to breathe. He said he was asking his manager, following the company protocol. HYBE posted a denial. But it didn’t stop the rumors. It didn’t stop the fans. They loved the idea of him with her. They made edits. Wrote fanfics. Called them “couple of the year.”

And worst of all? Jihoon joked about it once during a live. Just a playful tease, but it stung.

You hated how it made your stomach twist.

———

One evening, the two of you were in the dance studio again. Just like old times. You’d already run the routine three times. Now you were on the floor, lying on your back, chest rising and falling. Jihoon was next to you, scrolling through his phone, laughing softly at something — like the world wasn’t chewing your heart up and spitting it out.

“Jihoon,” you said, quietly.

He hummed.

“You know about everything that’s happening… the shipping stuff?”

“Yeah,” he replied, eyes still on his screen. “Still won’t shut up about it.”

You hesitated. “How do you really feel about it?…would you actually date her?”

He shrugged. “I don’t feel anything. ‘Cause I know it’s not true. And no I wouldn’t ”

“…Hmm. I see,” you said, trying to sound neutral — but the bitterness was all over your voice.

Then he paused.

He turned his head, peering at you with a slow, sly smirk. “Wait. Wait wait wait. Are you… jealous?”

You didn’t say a word.

“No way,” he laughed, sitting up with a huge grin on his face. “YOU’RE JEALOUS? This is insane. Oh my God—”

“…Yeah,” you said flatly. “I am.”

And just like that — silence.

His laugh stopped mid-breath. He looked at you like you had just slapped him across the face and then kissed him.

“…You’re serious?”

You nodded, still staring at the ceiling. “I don’t like it. I don’t like how people talk about you with her. I don’t like how they ship you. I don’t like how she looked at you. I don’t like it at all.”

Jihoon didn’t move for a second. Then he sat cross-legged beside you.

“You like me,” he said, voice soft but a little smug.

“I didn’t say that.”

“You’re jealous over someone I don’t even know. That’s basically a confession.”

You finally looked at him, lips pressed into a tight line. “Well maybe I am confessing. What now?”

His grin dropped into something softer. Eyes wide. A little scared. A little amazed.

“…Then I’m kissing you,” he whispered.

And he did.

He leaned down, hand on the floor beside your head, and kissed you — gently, like he’d been waiting a long time but didn’t want to mess it up. It was soft, warm, and way too short.

When he pulled back, he was red as a tomato and smiling like an idiot.

“I’ve loved you since forever,” he mumbled. “You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted.”

You bit your lip. “You gonna tell that to Dispatch too?”

He chuckled. “Actually… yeah. Kinda.”

———

A few days later, Jihoon went live. No names, no drama — just honesty.

“I want to clear something up — again. I’m not dating the person people think I am. I don’t even know her. Please stop spreading stuff like that.

If I ever do date someone, I want people to know it’s real. That it didn’t start because of a 5-second clip or a blurry photo.

I want it to be with someone who’s been with me through everything. Someone I’ve danced with, laughed with, cried with. Someone who stuck around before the debut, before the fame.

And if that ever happens… maybe I’ll write a song about her.”

And that night, you sat alone in the studio, phone in your hand, watching the clip.

He didn’t say your name. He didn’t have to.

You already knew the song was about you.

!Bonus!

It starts small. Jihoon thinks he’s being subtle.

But the thing about TWS is… they know everything. He’s not slick.

⸻

[Scene: Practice Room]

Y’all are just vibing like usual. You walk in with your hair a little messy, Jihoon is already there stretching. He sees you and that boy’s face lights up like a whole LED strip.

And Shinyu? He catches it immediately.

“Bro. Why do you look like a golden retriever seeing its owner?”

Jihoon throws a towel at him, “Shut up.”

“You shut up,” Youngjae adds, smirking. “You just fixed your hair in the mirror three times before she walked in. Be so real.”

You’re laughing nervously in the back while Jihoon is pretending to be unbothered, stretching aggressively like he’s not blushing red behind the ears.

Later, when y’all take a water break and you and Jihoon are sitting on the floor whispering about literally nothing—

Hanjin: “They think we don’t see them. It’s so cute.”

Dohoon: “It’s giving… romantic drama episode 12 when the confession happens and the next morning they act like nothing happened.”

Kyungmin, quietly recording them: “This is for evidence when they say they’re ‘just friends’ again.”

They’re literally so unserious about it. Jihoon flips out.

“Yah! Delete that!!”

“Say ‘please’ lover boy,” Kyungmin smirks.

It’s endless.

!Bonus 2!: Fans Figuring It Out

This is where it gets scary. Fans are geniuses.

At first, they brush off Jihoon’s statement, disappointed but respectful.

Then… the threads begin.

⸻

Fan thread: 🧵 “Why I think Jihoon from TWS is dating someone else and it’s NOT the idol he was rumored with 👀”

1. Timestamped Video:

“During this one dance practice, Jihoon keeps glancing off camera. Multiple times. He’s smiling at someone not in frame. We know the room layout. That’s the mirror side. Who’s he smiling at??”

2. Matching Items:

“He wore that black hoodie like five times this month. Guess who was spotted wearing the exact same one at a convenience store by a fan? A dancer who was on set for a TWS shoot. Coincidence?? 🤨”

3. Secret Playlist Name:

“During a VLive, his phone screen turned on for a second and fans saw a playlist name blurred out — when enhanced, it kinda looks like a nickname we’ve heard him use for a certain someone… 😭”

4. That One Slip Up:

“In a behind-the-scenes clip, Youngjae says ‘you should just bring her next time’ and Jihoon goes 👁️👄👁️ and everyone goes silent before Shinyu claps loudly and yells ‘ANYWAY—’”

⸻

Top comment:

“This ain’t even a thread anymore it’s a full FBI investigation. I’m invested.”

Second top comment:

“I don’t ship idols with randoms, but if this is true… she’s literally been his ride or die since day one. I support this.”

Before long, fans start lowkey rooting for you two. They call you “Jihoon’s muse.” They make edits with old dance clips. They’re saying things like:

• “He’s smiling like someone in love 🥹”

• “This is realer than any idol couple I’ve seen before.”

• “This is what it looks like when you fall for your best friend.”

Some even go back to that old Dispatch post and start commenting:

“Wrong girl, bestie.”

⸻

Final bonus!!

Jihoon, watching all the theories unfold:

😳 “How do they know everything…?”

You, sipping your drink and scrolling through stan Twitter:

😌 “I plead the fifth.”

And the rest of TWS?
