Theo has been your best friend for as long as you can remember. Growing up in the same neighborhood in Daejeon, you continuously stayed friends until you both were grown. Of course there were tougher times when he moved to Seoul to be a trainee, but you soon followed after your acceptance at Seoul National University, never losing contact.
A lot happened in the last few years in both your lives, from his debut and becoming a globally known idol to you graduating with honors and working your first job at a company you dreamed so long of getting into.
Besides you growing up together another reason on why you get along so well is probably your similarity in character. You two were truely cut from the same cloth especially when it came to your social habits, both of you being introverted and sticking to your usual companionship. You get shy and a little awkward aswell meeting new people hence why to took you a bit of time to warm up to the other five boys that Theo introduced to you as soon as he knew he was going to debut with them.
After some time though you got along well with all of them occasionally hanging out at their dorms or the studio.
Except for Theo, Intak out of them five was probably the one you got along with the best since you are a very passionate dancer, which is probably the biggest and only difference between you and Theo.
Therefore you often paid them a visit at the studio after work or on your days off helping with their choreos or certain moves they wanted your opinion on.
Much to the dismay of their leader, Yoon Keeho.
You can still remember the day when you met the boys for the first time. Him and Jiung arrived later that day when you were already deep into conversation with the other four nervously fiddling with your sleeves. They weren’t rude or particularly hard to talk but knowing how much time Theo was going to spend with them you wanted to make a good impression.
Keeho came in hooting and hollering as per usual with Jiung following right behind him. Already being nervous and overwhelmed with the situation you became quiet and turned even more reserved much to their dismay.
After your first meeting everything just went downhill. Keeho perceived your quietness as arrogance knowing your academic achievements through Theo beforehand. A few snarky comments that he let slip only made your reservation against him turn into a dislike.
You thought he was annoying, childish and obnoxious. He on the other side called you arrogant, boring and uptight.
There was maybe a little truth in both, more than you and he would like to admit anyway. At some point you weren't really sure if thats the reason his presence bothered you as much. You were never an outgoing person or particularly easy to befriend with. You had your circle of close friends, sure, but most of these are still from elementary school years with a few new people you met in college and through work. It also wasn’t like your relationship lacked any depth or level of connection, but it always took you a respectable amount of time to open up and reach a level of comfort in your relationships.
Maybe that was also the reason why you loved dancing so much. It sounds corny, it really does, but dancing always helped you express yourself when you couldn’t keep up with your words.
Keeho however was the complete opposite of that. No matter who he met or how he met them, they instantly got along and it came natural to him to speak about everything that came to his mind without making it awkward even once. Maybe except for your first meeting.
The small dislike you have formed after the first few times you met only deepened over time with many pointless arguments just to prove your point.
„Yeah, you guys go ahead. I think I‘m gonna finish this real quick and head out soon after.“
Keeho said looking at Intak who was already standing in the studio door.
„Okay… don’t stay too long though. The snow is probably getting worse tonight.“
He replied with a quick nod already heading out.
Then the door fell shut leaving Keeho alone on the couch tugged in the corner of the dance studio.
The other members already left to go back to their dorm since the sun already set. The have been working on their new comeback hence why Keeho wanted to stay behind to finish a certain part of their new choreography he just couldn’t memorize well enough.
Atleast thats what he told himself.
Surely that was one of the downsides of being a leader. He always felt the need to get everything right, set a good example for his members, be someone the can look up to.
With a quiet huff he got up from his comfortable spot and connected his phone to the speaker again, playing their new demo track.
His body fell easy into rhythm with their new choreo, every muscle moving exactly how they are supposed to.
Then the first chorus echoed through the room.
His mind went blank. Body stiffened.
With an annoyed groan he went back to his phone to rewind the song.
Starting again the moves came in as easy as ever until the first chorus came and-
The whole room went dark. Oh no.
The music that has been blasting through the room just a few seconds ago stopped aswell.
He mumbled as he only got more tense.
He tumbled through the dark trying to find his phone to have at least a little light. Stubbing his foot at the speaker during the process he actually managed to find it and turned it on.
Keeho tried gathering his thoughts, cursing his prior decision on staying behind. He quickly remembered the softbox light that they used earlier that day film a few dance challenges.
In a flash he crossed the room where the lights are neatly tucked away behind the couch. The switch is on the backside of the box. With that in mind Keeho climbed over the backrest of the sofa to switch on the battery powered light. Illuminating half of the room.
He mumbled under his breath.
After sitting down he tried to call one of his friends but soon enough he realized that his phone had no reception. C‘mon this has to be a joke.
He was thinking about what to do next when the door to the studio slowly eased open.
„Hello, who‘s- Keeho? What are you doing here?“
Just exactly what he needed now.
Shooting you a glate while emphasizing the I.
„What the hell are you doing here?“
„Ok don’t sass me like that. I told Theo to leave without me cause I had to use the bathroom.“ you explained.
„And just when I was about to step in my car I realized I left my key up here so I tried to get them. And now the elevator won’t work.“ you continued, your car keys dangling in one hand.
„Of course it doesn’t work, we‘ve had a black out, dipshit.“ he bickered.
„Hey, this isn’t my fault, okay? We’re in this together so don’t act like a little bitch.“
“Oh my god. That’s so typical for you, every time I’m already having a hard time you just somehow find a way to make it even worse.” he snapped back taking a step in your direction.
The earlier insecurity about the dance completely vanished and replaced by something else, something more occult. With his dark brown eyes that seem almost black in the shadowy room he is glaring down at you. Your height difference wasn’t anything out of the ordinary in fact he only got a few centimeters on you however he never forgets to remind you.
“Keeho… please can we not-“ you gestured vaguely between the two of you “can we not do this? for once.” Usually you would match his attitude and shoot an insult right back. However your day was already bad enough without stupid arguing so you lacked your usual hostile energy towards Keeho.
“Can you just not try to boss everyone around? This little game might work on Theo and Intak but not with me.” The words came out a little harsher than intended
“Oh my- Maybe if you wouldn’t behave like such a child all the damn time and pestering me with the most unreasonable things I would actually be able to breathe for once in a while.” he took a sharp breath in and crossed his arms in front of his chest making his shirt ride up a little bit.
“You just assume you’re the most important person and everything revolves around you. But, newsflash, you’re not. We would workout just as fine without you. You are only here cause you’re- god knows why- friends with Theo. Nothing more than that. So stop acting like-“
He stopped apprupt as soon as he saw the dim light of the sofbox behind him reflecting in your shimmery eyes. Your expression on your face had dropped and your usual calm and collected demeanor faltered displaying something more vulnerable.
You had gotten completely silent during his little monologue which wasn’t normal. Sure you were more reserved but usually whenever Keeho kept nagging you, you were set to shot right back at him with an intense glare.
For a second Keeho considered backing down a little and even apologizing. However his train of thought was cut short when he heard the door fall shut.
No matter how crazy and unreasonable your arguments were, that was something you had never done before. Straight up leaving. You never wanted to give Keeho the satisfaction of having the last word. But today something was different. Maybe it was your already stressful day with the cherry on top being stuck with him.
He hesitated if he should follow you, it’s not like you would come very far anyway. After a few seconds of processing he scrambled his phone out of his pocket to lead his way through the dark corridor.
Being trapped you didn’t have many options so you went down the hall to the seating area surrounding the vending machine. You often came here after training to get some snacks with the boys and joke around, even though that wasn’t what you were in the mood for right now anyways.
After a good minute you heard footsteps approaching and saw the matching flashlight shining through the hallway.
When he reached you he sat down next to you in silence. He really didn’t know how to approach this because in your past something like this never occurred but this time he might have took it a little too far.
“Listen, I-“ he tried to start but you cut him off…
“No, I want you to listen” your voice came out sharp and short tempered not an ounce of your earlier fragile side remaining.
“Whatever unresolved beef we have going we need to stop with it. It’s annoying, exhausting and brings your entire group down.”
You made a break and took a deep breath while Keeho didn’t dare to interrupt you.
“I don’t know what your problem is, seriously. I didn’t do anything to anger you.” you raised your voice. “Is it the fact that I know how to shut up for once in a while? Or the fact that I am stealing Theo away from you? What’s-“
That was it. His lips were on yours. You froze hands still mid air from gesturing. The kiss was hungry and urgent and after your first moment of disbelief you leaned in a little bringing one hand to his chest and the other to the nape of his neck.
He firmly gripped your waist pulling you flush against him, a little sigh slipping past your lips, immediately swallowed by Keeho’s.
You tugged at his curls which made him let out a shaky breath against your face. Meanwhile one of his hands found your lower back.
He pulled you beneath him, leaning over you and pushing his tongue past your lips. One of his thighs was between your legs pushing slightly up against your core and a familiar heat started pooling in your lower belly.
Whatever was possessing Keeho apparently let loose again as he removed his lips from yours.
“Sorry… I don’t know-“ the light went back on and you had to close your eyes from the sudden harsh flash.
Not being able to meet your eyes, Keeho looked down to your shoulders where his hands were still caging you in.
“I- maybe the generator just needed a little time.” Because of your words Keeho dared a glance at you which he immediately wished he hadn’t.
Lips swollen and lipstick slightly smeared. Your soft eyes glancing up at him irritated and lost in the silence again.
Suddenly Theos voice from across the hallway pulled you out of your thoughts.
