Lila’s Relationship With 127
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Lila and Taeyong got on like flies on sticky paper when they first met.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ She had idolized him since she was a trainee and he had heard about the little 11 year-old girl who was training hard to make it with one of the top 3.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Taeyong respects Lila immensely, he knows how hard it is as an idol to be successful, let alone a female idol. When he heard she was debuting with them in 2016 he was very afraid she would not feel safe with 5 males and constantly gave Jaehyun, Mark, Doyoung and Ten stern talks to not crowd her or force her to do things.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ He does worry about her sometimes like a mother hen, usually about her revealing outfits or when an interviewer makes a backhanded comment.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ He was the first person she told when her and Mark entered their relationship and some fans speculate he ships them harder than czennie does.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ They had a few months of promotions that were just him and her for their duet songs they released. During that time Czennie got to witness a lot of Lila acting like the young girl she is because she felt comfortable enough to not act so mature around Taeyong. Taeyong gladly let her be childish because they rarely ever got to see it.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ During their duet promos, they got very close and shared some deep feelings and thoughts with eachother.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ When Lila released her solo album he talked about it more than he talked about 127’s own released album. There are MANY YouTube videos like “Taeyong talking about Lila for 24 minutes” or “Lila being Taeyongs daughter” compilations
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Fan Favorite Moment: There was a clip making the rounds on twitter on Lila’s 17th birthday, during the end of a concert she was giving her ment and czennie started singing happy birthday for her. The rest of the members of 127 joined in and Taeyong hugged her from behind and removed her in-ears so she could fully hear them. She got so happy she started to cry and turned around and hid her tears in Taeyongs chest.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Johnny and Lila did not get along when they first met.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Johnny made a joke about her and due to her inability to understand sarcasm and jokes, she 100% thought he didn’t like her and therefore stayed far away from him.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ it took about 3 months of her dodging any interaction with him, running from the room if he entered, and simply ignoring him for Johnny to finally corner her and ask what was up.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ When she told him he felt like the biggest piece of shit ever, but she also felt bad once he explained because she realized she should have just talked to him. Since that they have been very close, even more so since she found out he could speak English. She considers Johnny one of the closest people to her.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ He considers himself a ride or die of Lila’s. Constantly on protection mode around her. He watched her grow up and he protected her as a little girl and he’ll continue to protect her as she navigates life as a woman. He is immensely proud of her and will constantly tell her she is doing well so she remembers there are people in her corner that are rooting for her.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ His family basically adopted her. Johnny’s mother was the woman who helped her when she first got her period. Johnny’s dad was the one who gave Mark the “dad talk” when they went public with their relationship. She is constantly referred to as Johnnys sister when his mom talks about them.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Fan Favorite Moment: When 127 was walking through the airport, a man grabbed 15 year old Lila’s arm and tried dragging her away from the boys. Before security could even attempt to get her, Johnny physically pushed the man away from her with enough strength for him to fall and would have hit him had Lila not held his hand. The videos that went viral were multiple angles of Johnny’s terrifying angry look and Lila gripping his arm like her life depended on it out of fear. The man got arrested but since then Lila has always held someone’s hand tightly or is in view of all the boys when walking through the airport.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Lila and Yuta were sort of neutral when they first met. They didn’t dislike each other but they didn’t really talk enough to form a friendship.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ That doesn’t mean they didn’t support each other.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Yuta thought she was one of the most talented people he’s ever met. A lot of the times she would be asked to do dances alone for the choreographer so they could get a grasp on her levels and he would watch her in awe at her control of her movements.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Lila thought Yuta was the coolest person ever. He looked like someone straight out of a manga and she loved the laid back cool guy attitude he had. When she heard him sing for the first time she was in love with his voice and considers it one of her favorite voices out of her boys.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ When they debuted with ‘Fire Truck’ is when they started actually talking to eachother and building a friendship.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ If Yuta isn’t declaring his love for Mark he is declaring his love for Lila.
⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ He constantly calls her bijin-chan which translates to Beautiful Girl, he said in a fancall once that he calls her that because he likes to hear the little shy giggle she gives.

⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ Fan Favorite Moment: During Yuta’s 24-hr relay time video, there was a time block that he labled ‘Bijin time’ which referred to a solid hour of Yuta and Lila spending time together. During the video, she joined him in his room and they sat on Yuta’s bed and made friendship bracelets because that’s what Lila wanted to do. To this day, they still wear the bracelets. Yuta’s says “My Yuyu” and Lila’s says “Bijin-chan”

⋆⸜❤︎⸝⋆ He was the first English speaking member she met and the two quickly built a strong friendship.
