can i request the boys' reaction to you sneaking backstage and visiting them at a concert/live show since they've been really stressed about a comeback? these scenarios are so wonderful, thanks so much for always making me smile while reading them c:
this is so sweet. thanks for requesting darling and I’m glad these scenarios can make you feel warm and smile. ❤
Shownu: probably won’t notice at first. he’s going to be busy checking on six other people before he even thinks about checking on himself. but when he does, when he finally looks up and sees you there he’s going to take the first breath he’s had since this comeback started. he’s had a hundred and one thoughts since they arrived and right now all of it is you, if only for a moment, if only for a quick brush of your hands before he’s running off to jump back into everything. he’s busy now but you’re going to get lots of hugs and one very bright smile that says thank you faster than any words do. that’s how he says thank you’s, in larger than life smiles.
Wonho: he barely gives himself time to breathe when he’s done with rehearsals. he’s hardest on himself so he’s still monitoring, picking out for himself and for the others. it’s really hard to snap him out when he’s like this because all he knows is worry and his whole body tightens with stress. that’s why it’s your turn, as soon as you make it backstage to give him the hug that he’s been needing all day. to wait until he calms down from being startled and you feel him breathe and just for that second, all the stress deflates with a sigh and a smile. he’s going to hold your arm with one hand and press thank you’s into your other. that’s how he says thank you, in small kisses and tight holds.
Minhyuk: is checking his moves in the corner. usually he’s always focused during comebacks so it’s hard to tell whether he’s stressed or not. but if he’s not practicing with the others and practicing by himself than with the others, that’s how you notice. when he’s not joking around and you approach him as bright as you can. for all the days he brightens for you you yell his name just as cheerfully as he’d do yours. it might take him a bit to realize, and he doesn’t light up as fast as he normally would but that’s okay because after a few jokes and nudges from you he’s laughing. and laughter is always the first step and having you both laughing is how he says thank you.
Kihyun: has his headphones in and is checking his vocals. not as strong because he’s been worried about straining his voice but the worry shows in his face. usually calm it’s worn with furrowed brows that disappear when his phone gets a ping and you’re standing behind him. he’s going to try and ask what you’re doing here, maybe hide that he’s a little flustered because he doesn’t get flustered. he’s going to do it all why trying to keep the smile from his face and his hands from grasping and holding yours. because for some reason the words won’t come out but his grip says what his lips won’t. you sitting and listening to him hum, more relaxed, more reassured, is better than anything else. that hold on your hands until it’s time to go on stage, that’s how he says thank you.
Hyungwon: usually tries to catch some rest but instead he’s busying himself in the mirror. he’s normally quiet but in this case he’s not even resting he’s just leaning against the couch, eyes closed to try and compose himself. normally he’d need to be moving, practicing some moves or hanging around the others but he feels like his legs are lead and don’t want to cooperate. you don’t want to wake him but you know he’s struggling so a few pokes before he’s looking at you. a few seconds before he’s moving over and letting you sit at the end. no words, just motions while he lays his head on your lap and finally, finally attempts to sleep. a whisper and a soft breath is his thank you.
Jooheon: he usually spends his time with the others, and that’s probably when you get the call. not from him because he doesn’t want to bother you but another member, because he’s not draped over them as usual. he’s pacing and fidgeting and the nerves are spreading and everyone’s a little too wired to know how to help. he wears his emotions on his sleeves, stress lines and worry around his eyes so the first thing you see when you enter is the smile. he won’t want to say much, just relax into a hug that he needed and probably stay leaning into you until it’s time to go on stage. by that time he’s grinning as best he can, energy renewed. his thank you is enough energy until you’re begging him to leave and go on stage, and he does, smiles and all.
Changkyun: usually practices rapping and going over his lyrics in the couch. if he’s nervous he doesn’t show it, if he’s nervous it’s in between dips in his brow and tight pulls of his lips as he recites words. but you can tell when he’s texting, and it’s a message that has you hurrying over without telling him. and sometimes as the youngest he doesn’t always let on to things, that he’s exhausted or he’s stressed or that he wants you to come. when you walk in he’s going to be a little shocked, a little confused. but he’s going to welcome it and the shoulder you provide for him to lean on and finally rest. if only for a minute, if he doesn’t even rest and instead whispers worries he wouldn’t say out loud. it’s the small confessions and a head on your shoulder that are his thank you’s
