It started small...simple brushes of your fingers against his while walking, soft pokes to his cheek to wake him up from a nap, a head against his shoulder while you watched a movie. Baby felt like he'd been electrocuted every time. At first, he thought the tingling was because he didn't like the feeling. He later found it to be the complete opposite. He started to welcome the small touches you offered him.
As you noticed him begin to get more comfortable, you slowly increased the physical contact. Finger brushes turned into fully entwined hands. Waking him up from naps turned into carefully brushing your knuckles over his cheek. And your head on his shoulder during movie nights switched to his head on yours. He hadn't realised what he'd been missing out on all this time. He still jolted whenever you moved unexpectedly against him...still flinched ever so slightly when you reached for him. But he was getting there.
One afternoon, you'd been sitting on the sofa, watching TV, when he shuffled over to you. He curled up beside you, lying down to rest his head on your lap. You were surprised, but smiled nonetheless.
"You good?"
He hummed softly. Your fingers began running through his teal bangs, nails gently scratching his scalp. Every muscle in his body sagged, and if he were a cat, he'd definitely have started purring. When you started brushing your fingers over his forehead and down the bridge of his nose, his eyes closed, and he sighed.
"That feels nice," he mumbled, leaning further into your touch.
Soft snores fell from his lips shortly after, and you bent down to ghost your lips over his forehead.
He'd been asleep for a couple of hours when you decided it was time to wake him up.
"Babyy~" you cooed, "you need to wake up or you won't sleep tonight."
With a defiant groan, he rolled onto his side, pressing his face into your stomach. Slipping a hand down the back of his sweater, you traced shapes against his skin with your nails. He snuggled deeper into you.
"You're making it harder to wake up," he muttered, wrapping his arms around your waist.
"You're getting more affectionate," you grinned.
"You make it easy...it feels natural with you," he hummed.
The next day, you joined the boys for their rehearsal, showing up with snacks and drinks for moral support. As soon as you entered the studio, Baby was on you. He appeared behind you out of nowhere, draping his arms around your shoulders and burying his face into the side of your neck. The other Sajas watched in shock. Just the other day, he'd been telling them how weird you made him feel. Jinu smiled. Now he knew what that 'weird' was...you made him feel safe.
"Morning," you smiled.
His reply was simply tightening his arms around you and pressing a single kiss to your shoulder. He was overwhelmed with the sudden urge to be as close to you as possible...he wanted to practically crawl into your skin. You felt like home.
When you tried to move, he remained glued to you, shuffling along behind you with his arms still around your shoulders.
"Shouldn't you get back to practice?"
He shook his head, fluffy bangs tickling the side of your face. Slumping onto the sofa in the corner, he looped his arms around your hips and tugged you onto his lap. You flushed as he pulled you closer to lean against his chest.
Later that week, he took the initiative to push things a little further. You were waiting for him in his bed when he came in...shirtless. He'd recently told you about his demonic origin, but the dark purple patterns decorating his arms and torso still took your breath away.
"You gonna be comfortable?" you asked softly.
He averted his eyes, rubbing the back of his neck with a shrug.
"Skinship feels okay if it's with you..."
You nodded, pulling your own shirt over your head, leaving you in your sleep bralette.
"You can drop the full illusion if you like? I don't mind. Promise."
He hesitated before dropping a little more of his disguise... His skin took on a lilac tint. His eyes changed from green to a glowing gold. His claws and fangs emerged...just slightly. You smiled, patting the space beside you and pulling the sheets back. He approached slowly, like he was scared of scaring you.
"It's okay," you coaxed gently, "come on, I know you're tired."
When he was finally settled, his arms wrapped around your waist. His demon skin was cool to the touch, and it felt nice against the flushed warmth of your own. Once the initial contact was made, he pulled you into his chest, sighing into your hair.
"You feel nice," he mumbled, a satisfied growl rumbling against your back.

Baby Saja is not so baby in this👀 also...his demon form!? Take my soul already😩
Pairings: Baby Saja x reader
KPDH MASTERLIST HERE
Everyone saw him as the baby of the group...the fans and the rest of the band. It was how he got his idol name. He was the youngest after all, even among the other four demons. It had never bothered him before. Even when he first took a liking to you, and you'd constantly tell him how cute he was. He enjoyed being babied by you in the physical sense - the way you'd run your fingers through his hair while he napped with his head in your lap. How you were the first to approach him with drinks and snacks during rehearsals. But when the other guys would tease him in front of you...that pissed him off. He didn't want to be seen as the baby in your eyes. He was a man. Your man. Hell, you even knew he was a demon and didn't go running for the hills. Fuck, maybe he was getting soft. At first, you were just another soul for Gwi Ma, but at some point (he couldn't figure out when), he wanted your soul for himself. It smelled sweet and warm, and he'd never take it from you. It made you you. Just being with you gave him enough of a taste.
As soon as you walked through the door to the studio, all attention was on you. He knew you were beautiful. Hell, you were the most stunning girl he'd ever encountered in this era. As Jinu called for a break, he made his way over to you, only for Abby to reach you first. The muscle-brain slung a heavy arm around your shoulders, flexing in the process as he leaned into your space. You were clearly uncomfortable with the intrusion, and Baby both loved the way you less than enjoyed the attention of other men and loathed the fact that someone had made you feel that way.
"Sup, gorgeous," Abby drawled, eyes glowing as he flashed a fanged smile.
You patted his arm awkwardly. "Hey, Abby."
Jinu sighed as Mystery and Romance snickered at Baby's misery. He was close to losing his shit with the shameless flirt. Everyone thought Romance was bad? Well, Abby was worse. When your boyfriend got closer, eyes flashing in irritation and fangs slightly bared, you relaxed, ducking out of Abby's grip and dashing forward. Your arms wrapped around his shoulders in a tight hug, and he wrapped his around your waist, glaring at his bandmate over your shoulder. When you pressed a kiss to his cheek, he actually smiled.
"Hi, sweetness," he murmured against your neck.
"Hey, love."
You pulled a couple of things out of the plastic bag in your hand before handing it to Jinu.
"Got these for you guys on my way here," you grinned at the dark-haired boy.
He smiled back. "Thanks, y/n. You're the best."
Turning your attention back to your boyfriend, you held the tub of lollipops and melon iced tea out to him. "These are for you."
He took them from you before placing them down on the floor next to him. When he stood back to his full height, he brushed his fingers against your cheek before carding his fingers through the back of your hair. A noise of surprise caught in your throat when he pulled you in for a rough kiss, his fangs catching on your bottom lip. Your eyes fluttered closed as you relaxed into him, gripping onto the front of his sweater. When his tongue brushed against yours and you sighed, he cracked his eyes open, glaring harder at Abby, who watched in irritation.
Pulling away, he drew you closer to his chest in a possessive embrace, growling softly.
in which he is smitten from the start. actually...he's borderline obsessed and hopeless but we love it ;) - had to cut it short because it got long lmao but comment if you want the cat cafe date <3
pairings: baby saja x Zoey fan!reader
Since that day, all Baby had done was scroll through your Instagram page...he couldn't help himself. You were beautiful, cute, AND funny. Every post was a collection of photos: a selfie, random images from your week, cute cats, and a meme. The memes always had him snickering behind the sleeve of his sweater. Too bad you had yet to reply to his message.
You, on the other hand, had no idea what to do. Did you completely ghost him? Or did you bite the bullet and finally reply to the cute stranger who was apparently famous? It seemed like a no-brainer, but after both groups' little follow spree, your notifications had been bombarded. You eventually had to make your profile private. The story that Zoey had tagged you in had gone viral within minutes: a simple mirror selfie of her making a heart with her thumb and forefinger...and on that same wrist, the bracelet you'd made her. The caption read 'met the absolute cutest today (@)y/nl/n <3'
It was 3AM by the time you'd finally made up your mind. You'd lost enough sleep over the whole situation, so you sent a simple reply.
(@)y/nl/n: I was never hiding :)
You hoped he didn't screenshot the exchange and post it for publicity, but you had a feeling the Huntrix girls would all but murder him if he did. The reply was instant. Shit...did you wake him up?
(@)baby-saja: then the universe must have hidden you from me ;)
What you didn't know was that Baby had completely freaked out the second you replied, barging into Romance's room in their shared apartment and practically throwing his phone at the pink-haired boy.
"What the fuck do I say to that!?" he hissed, dragging his hands through his sleep-mussed hair as his eyes flickered between green and gold.
"What?" Romance muttered, "do you have any idea what time it is?"
"You're good at all this lovey crap. Reply for me!" He ignored the question.
With a sigh, Romance did as asked, taking a second to mull over the exchange before typing. He tossed the phone back to Baby before settling back into his bed.
"There. Now get out."
You blanked...there was no way. Choosing to ignore the ridiculously cheesy response, you replied.
(@)y/nl/n: i listened to some of your music...you guys are good.
Baby froze. Not only had Romance replied with something he'd never say himself in a million years, but you'd completely brushed over it. He was never asking the hopeless flirt for advice again. So he opted to bother Jinu instead. Luckily, the Saja leader was already awake when he let himself into his room.
"Can I help you?" he asked with a raised brow.
"You've got something going on with that Hunter chick, right?"
Jinu froze, unsure of where this was going. It seemed Baby was more observant than he led people to believe.
"How do you flirt with human girls?"
The dark-haired boy relaxed slightly, smirking.
"Is this about that girl from the fan meet? The one that's obsessed with Zoey?"
Baby growled lowly. "Don't fucking remind me. I don't want to have to fight for her attention."
For the rest of the night, Jinu gave his bandmate tips. He was a lot more helpful than the others would have been. They scoured through your Instagram profile, analysing every post and photo, making a list of things Baby could say. Compliments on your style, memes they thought you would like, and conversation starters that would make you actually want to talk to him. The notes app on his phone was full.
The rapper waited until you posted again to message you. As usual, it was a collection of photos: a picture of a cute cake, a cat you'd found on the street, and a mirror selfie of you with...was that Zoey!? His patterns rippled. You hadn't tagged her, and the other rapper was wearing a disguise, but her style was unmistakable.
(@)baby-saja: I like your outfit :)
And he did. You looked adorable in your cut-off denim overalls, pale blue knitted cardigan, and the nicest pair of pastel Jordans he'd ever seen.
It was a couple of hours before you replied, and he could only assume it was because you'd still been with Zoey.
(@)y/nl/n: thanks <3 our styles are similar, don't you think?
Oh he did think. You were practically matching. His heart was hammering in his chest as he stared intently at the photo, and he was overwhelmed with a single thought. Mine. Mine. Mine.
Conversations came easier after that, and you both started to get more comfortable. After a week of constant back and forth, Baby decided to make a move.
(@)baby-saja: a cat cafe just opened in town. wanna check it out together?
You liked the message before responding.
(@)y/nl/n: off work this week. just give me a time and address <3
The message seemed simple...unbothered...but in reality, you were jumping for joy. You loved cats. You loved cafes. And you liked Baby. He was fun to talk to, and it seemed you had a lot in common.
(@)baby-saja: tomorrow? noon? x
The next morning, you tore your wardrobe apart trying to find the perfect outfit. Was this a date? It seemed like a date. But you didn't want to assume. You decided on something simple: denim overalls, your pastel Jordans, and a light yellow, knit sweater. Taking a picture in your mirror, you sent it to him with a peace sign emoji.
(@)baby-saja: looking cute as always ;) and we're matching x
Oh my gosh your writing is the sweetest ever! You’re actually a godsend for the kpdh fandom (especially Baby Saja fans) 🙏🙏🙏
If you don’t mind could I request a Baby Saja x reader where she’s attacked by a demon/getting her soul stolen, but Baby saves her because he loves her? I’m a sucker for that “I almost lost you” angst hehehehe. I also feel like Baby would go absolutely insanely feral on anything that tries to hurt someone he loves
You're so sweet! Thank you so much!!! And I absolutely love this concept! May have had a bit too much fun writing it lmao so I hope you enjoy!
He couldn't care less about the other hunters...but he sure as hell cares about you. And if saving you and your soul gets him in trouble? So be it. ~ in which, you're a solo hunter working with HUNTRIX and you get separated from them during a pretty big demon invasion

content warnings: blood, violence, kinda almost death? injury and all the angst
KPDH MASTERLIST HERE
There hadn't been a hoard this big in a long time. You began the hunt with HUNTRIX, but somewhere along the way, you got separated. There was no doubt you were strong, but this would be too much for anyone. The Saja Boys had taken a back seat, opting to watch how things play out before deciding whether or not to intervene. What you didn't know, was that Baby had been keeping an eye on you the whole night. His demon form blended into the shadows like a second skin. His jaw clenched every time you got hurt. His eyes flashed each time you were cornered. But you were mostly okay.
You were exhausted...bleeding and bruised and so so exhausted. With luminous twin katanas in hand, you swept the streets without mercy. But you knew you were hitting your limit. Your reactions were getting slower and your mind was lagging. This only became more apparent when you made the oh so smart decision to follow three demons down an alley...alone.
"Shit..." your chest heaved with every breath.
The three hideous creatures turned to you with hungry grins, all sharp teeth and glowing eyes. There was only one pair of glowing eyes you wanted to see right now.
"I'm coming home, Baby," you whispered, attempting to relax your sore shoulders.
"The only one going home tonight, is us," the demon in the middle snarled.
They swarmed you at once, covering every escape, and you sighed. Blows were traded. Claw clashed with blade. Teeth were bared. A slash to your shoulder had you staggering before you forced your blade though hellish flesh. One down...two to go.
Baby watched from the roof, eyes sharp. His fists clenched at his sides.
"Come on come on come one," he muttered.
Claws sunk into your side before the assailant was disposed of, but the time it took you to regain balance was too long. A rough hand around your throat shoved you into the wall, black spots dancing across your vision with the collision to your head. When the monster opened its mouth, a soft blue glow bloomed in your chest.
"No..." you gasped, "no no no! Not like this...anything but this!"
A thunderous growl shook the ground of the alley as a dark figure appeared out of nowhere. Your consciousness was wavering as blood pulsed from the wound in your side.
"Hasn't anyone ever told you not to touch what's not yours?"
A clawed hand wrapped around the front of the demon's throat before it was torn out. The body dropped. You sagged against the wall. And Baby looked far from satisfied. Muffled noise filled the entrance of the alley as a new tear in the Honmoon opened. More demons spilled out. Hungry. Desperate. Baby's head whipped in their direction as a vicious snarl tore through his throat. He moved on instinct. Faster than you could keep up with. His expression was calm as always, but the rage rolling off him in suffocating waves told you everything.
"Ba...Baby..." Your voice was getting weaker and it only made him angrier.
"Hold on for me, love. Just a minute. Hold on."
Ever a man of his word, the minor demons were done with, and he rushed to your side. His hands were cool against the clammy skin of your cheeks.
"Stay awake for me, okay?" Moisture gathered in his eyes, and he blinked frantically to clear it. "Jinu's gonna get Rumi and the others. They'll know what to do."
"Baby...I'm so tired...can we take a nap?" You were wheezing now.
"Not yet, my love. Come on."
Your lashes fluttered as your head fell forward against his shoulder. He shook you gently.
"No. Do not do this. You're not allowed to leave me."
Your blood-stained fingers brushed his cheek.
"I'm alright. Just...need...a little...rest..."
Baby's stomach dropped as you passed out, hands trembling. He carefully laid you down, pressing a hand against the gushing wound in your side.
"Fuck...Jinu where the hell are you!"
The sound of incessant beeping was sharp in your ears. Your sinuses burned with the smell of something strong and chemical. With a groan, you tried to sit up, only to cry out in pain. Baby jolted, sitting up in the chair he'd fallen asleep in. He was by your side in seconds, his hand steady in yours.
"About fucking time," he sighed, "I knew you were tired but jeez."
The teasing in his tone far from matched the worry in his eyes.
"Baby?" You throat was dry as hell.
"Don't you ever fucking do that to me again!" he hissed.

FIRST DATE LETS GOOOOO! I've been so excited to write this since the idea came to mind you have no idea!!!!!! prepare for soft Baby <3 i think i got everyone on the tag list but sorry if i forgot anyone...
pairing: Baby x Zoey fan!reader
Baby was leaning against the wall of the cafe, scrolling through his phone when you arrived, and indeed...you were matching. He wore light blue jeans, pastel converse, and a lilac knit sweater over a light yellow collared shirt. Definitely the cutest boy you'd ever met. Upon hearing your approach, he looked up, and his lips twitched just slightly. You waved shyly.
"Hey, Baby."
"Hi, y/n."
To your surprise, he wrapped an arm around your shoulders to steer you towards the entrance. Instinctively, you leaned into his side. He was warm.
"I hope the food is as good as it looked on their Insta page," he muttered softly.
"Me too! And I can't wait to see all the cats!"
His thumb rubbed calming circles against your shoulder as he closed the first door, reaching around you for the safety door. As soon as you were inside, your eyes sparkled. Cats. Everywhere!
Baby watched as you started to excitedly bounce on the balls of your feet, a soft chuckle slipping past his lips.
"You good there, sweet?"
The pet name came so naturally, you nearly missed it, and you could tell from his wide eyes and pink cheeks that it had been said without thinking. With a gentle smile, you linked your pinky finger with his.
"Just super happy to be here...with you."
"Me too."
A pretty waitress in fluffy cat ears came over with a couple of menus. Her eyes met yours with a friendly wink before you turned your attention back to your date. His eyes remained on you the whole time. You thought for sure he'd at least check her out; she was beautiful. But he didn't. Not once. Warmth spread across your cheeks.
"I'll give you guys some time to look at the menu and get comfortable," she smiled after showing you to your table.
You thanked her, shuffling into the booth beside Baby. He slumped in his seat, throwing an arm along the back of the bench to rest behind your shoulders. Immediately, a small ginger cat slinked up to you, rubbing around your ankles. You dropped a hand down to his level, grinning when he rubbed his head against your knuckles.
"According to the sheet, that one's Eddie. He seems to like you," Baby mumbled, leaning into you to see the little tom.
When the feline and the boy made eye contact, it hissed, pressing itself against your shin. Baby growled slightly. You gently slapped his chest.
"Don't be mean to the cute kitties!"
He huffed with a pout. "I'm cuter."
The cat jumped onto your lap, curling into a ball and getting comfortable. Your fingers brushed over his fur.
"Reckon he'd fit in my bag?" you joked.
His shoulders shook with quiet laughter.
"Only if you wanna get arrested."
"It'd be worth it," you mumbled.
When the waitress returned, she was looking at the cat in your lap with wide eyes.
"Eddie?"
The little ball of orange fur looked up once, before tucking his head back into you.
"He never likes anyone! Are you like...a cat whisperer or something?" she laughed.
"They do seem to be drawn to me...even strays. I'm definitely not complaining," you grinned.
She shook her head with a smile before pulling out her small notebook and pen.
"What can I get you guys?"
You each ordered something different, so that you could share and try out more of the menu. This consisted of a mango cream cake, mint rocky road sundae, the special unicorn milkshake, and a crème brûlée frappé. Everything looked way too good to eat, and tasted even better.
You watched Baby's expression carefully as he tried the milkshake you'd chosen. His fingers lazily ran over the fur of the chubby black cat snoozing on his lap. The straw had sunk into the mass of cream, and he didn't bother trying to fish it out before taking a sip...just reached in to grab the end with his teeth. After his taste, he pulled back, humming in satisfaction. Pursing your lips, you tried to suppress a giggle, instead opting to reach over and brush his bottom lips with your thumb. He froze. Man...his lips were soft. What you didn't know, was that he was resisting the urge to bite you...affectionately...of course. Maybe he was spending too much time with Mystery.
"You had cream and sprinkles on your lip," you whispered, averting your eyes.
Before you could wipe it off on a napkin, he grabbed your wrist. While maintaining eye contact, he leaned over and licked the sweet substance off.
"Would be a shame to waste something so good."
Now he was silently freaking out...again. Why the fuck did he do that!? Oh gods, he was spending too much time with Romance too! Your eyes widened and pink bloomed from your neck, all over your face, and to your ears. Why was that so hot!?
You'd expected things to get awkward after that, but it was the opposite. He seemed more relaxed. Which said a lot considering how chill he already was. You finished your food and drinks, continuously swapping after every few sips or bits, and Baby waved the waitress over to pay. Reaching into your bag for your purse, he gently swatted your hand away.
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm paying."
You frowned. "What? Why?"
He rolled his eyes, leaning into your space with a lazy smile.
"It's customary for men to pay on the first date, no?"
Mystery gets a little territorial when the other Saja boys start flirting with his girl👀 something about him being like a feral puppy has me in a chokehold and I just know he's cute as hell under all that hair...

Pairings: Mystery x fem!reader
You weren't a manager or anything...but it sure felt like you were sometimes. Whenever you went to see Mystery at their rehearsals, you always brought snacks for everyone of them. You arrived a little late today, having visited several stores just to try and find each of their favourite drinks. The long-banged demon was as nonchalant as always, offering you a mere nod in greeting as you passed quietly through the door.
They were working on their debut today, an energetic song with equally exhausting choreo, much to Baby's irritation. The second you walked in with your hands full of shopping bags, Abby and Baby rushed over - Abby to take the bags from your hands (definitely not as a means to show off the muscles in his arms) and Baby to lazily wrap his arms around your shoulders, letting his forehead droop against you.
"Hiii y'nnn~" the green-haired rapper drawled with a barely concealed yawn.
Mystery muttered under his breath as he watched the whole scene. Jinu called a short break, also making his way over to you, his usual charming grin on his face.
"Looking beautiful as always, y/n," he smiled, ruffling your hair.
Romance leaned his arm against the grey-haired boy's shoulder, a teasing smirk on his lips.
"Looks like everyone's tryin'a steal your girl~" he sang.
You were chatting up a storm with the other three, eyes bright as you listened to Jinu talk about his plans for the group, and nodding along to Abby ramble about his latest workout routine. Mystery growled, eyes narrowing further under his bangs. He couldn't stand it, but he was too stubborn to give up his unbothered persona...or so he thought.
Your eyes brightened further when you saw your boyfriend approaching, smiling awkwardly as you watched him angrily stomp over, fists clenched. He pushed the others aside, pulling you into him with a secure arm around your shoulders, before leaning in and...biting your cheek?
"Mine," he snarled, eyes flashing dangerously as his fringe parted to reveal them, his patterns rippling over the skin of his arms.
Baby rolled his eyes as he slumped over the armchair in the corner. Jinu and Abby smirked, raising their hands in surrender and backing up a step. You turned to him with a pout, flicking his nose.
"Stop acting like a rabid dog!" you hissed.
He bared his fangs at you, with no real threat behind the action, before dipping his head and biting your neck. You immediately flushed, pink coating your cheeks, neck and ears.
"Mystery!" you yelped, swatting him away.
He pushed his bangs away from his forehead, regarding you with an arched brow. You hated how hot that was, eye twitching in frustration. With a sigh, he gripped your chin between his thumb and forefinger, leaning closer into your space to pressing a lingering kiss to your lips.

content warnings? mentions of therapy and burnout.
Credit to @tiger-lilee-5 for the concept💜 first show of your joint tour and you are completely spent by the end of it...thankfully you have your personal demon-shaped charger on hand <3
pairings: baby x HUNTRIX!reader (a little? more towards the end)
You loved what you did; there was no doubt about it. Every performance got 110%. You were pleasant to your fans. And creating music was your passion. There was nothing quite like having the words you came up with sung right back to you by an audience of thousands. But it was exhausting. You had a lower social battery than the others and could only manage so much. That was one of the many reasons you loved the girls — they took on what you couldn't.
The first show of your joint tour with the Saja Boys had just come to a close and as usual, you were the first off the stage. Bobby handed you your headphones with a soft smile the second you got backstage, and you patted his shoulder in thanks before an assistant helped you into your robe. That was one thing you could never get used to...the assistants. Another handed you an energy drink. A third passed you a snack. It made your skin itch. Did they think you were stuck up? You knew where everything was...you could take care of yourself. Did they enjoy waiting on you and the others? It seemed like they did. They were always excited to see you at the end of every show. Your intern P.A shuffled over, a shy smile on her lips. You offered her one in return. Pulling your headphones down to rest around your neck, you gave her your full attention. She always liked to chat a bit, and despite being tired, you liked her enough to entertain her questions.
"These came for you," she grinned, holding up a stack of fan mail and a small pile of gifts.
"Thank you." You took the snacks from the pile, stuffing them into the pockets of your robe. "Can you have them dropped at the apartment for me, please?"
"Of course!"
"Oh and Jae!"
She stopped midstep and turned to face you again.
"Take the rest of the day off. It's been a long day, and it's only going to get longer this month. Get some rest."
"Thank you...y/n." You could tell it pained her to call you by name, but you'd asked her to, complaining that being called "ma'am" or "miss" made you feel old. "You be sure to rest up too."
As you passed her, you gently ruffled her hair before putting your headphones back on and sticking a lollipop between your teeth.
You changed into comfy clothes before waiting for everyone else to gather by the back entrance of the stadium. Bobby was the first to greet you again. He grinned with an encouraging pat on your shoulder. You returned his smile with a tired one of your own.
"You did great, y/n!"
Nodding, you removed your headphones, slumping against the wall beside him and leaning your head on his shoulder.
"Thanks. The others performed better, though...I wasn't at my best."
"I can guarantee you're the only one who thinks that," he replied.
Rumi, Mira, and Zoey were next to arrive.
"Brilliant job, as always, everyone!" Our manager cheered, jostling your head.
"Thanks, Bobby!" The others cheered too.
"Jinu said they'll meet us at our apartment," Rumi said as she tapped away on her phone, "they have to go over some things with their manager."
You frowned. All you wanted right now was a nap and a hug from Baby.
When the 5 of you arrived at the apartment, the first thing you did was fall face-first onto the sofa and curl up under your weighted blanket. Turning the volume of your headphones up as high as it would go, you pulled the blanket up so just your tightly shut eyes were visible. The girls watched you worriedly as Bobby scrolled through your personal calendar.
"She's not usually this out of it after a show," he muttered as he tried to find the date of your last therapy session.
"She has been working harder than anyone else for this tour...it's no wonder she's burning out," Mira frowned.
"I can hear you. And I'm fine," you muttered.
"No, you're not." Rumi's voice was stern. "You need a break. We all do."
"Have you forgotten that we've only just started a tour?" You narrowed your eyes at her.
She sighed. You were right. No one would be taking a break until this was over and the Honmoon was sealed... preferably with your boys safely on the human side.
Bobby disappeared into his office to make your appointments. Rumi and Mira wandered into the kitchen to get you some more snacks and some tea. And Zoey...Zoey decided to act as a second weighted blanket and flopped on top of you. The extra weight was nice. You freed a hand from the blanket for her to hold, and she linked her fingers through yours.
"Everything will be okay," she smiled, "we'll make sure of it."
You nodded. "Thanks, Zo."
When the boys finally entered the apartment, they were greeted with Rumi and Mira fussing around your sleeping form, and Zoey pleasantly cutting off your blood circulation.
"What's going on?" Jinu frowned.
Upon closer inspection, all of the men could see that, even in your sleep, your brow was pinched.
"Y/n care," Zoey whispered as she scrolled through her phone with her free hand.
"Is she okay?" Mystery mumbled.
Despite being closest to Baby, they all cared for you a lot.
"She's just burnt out. And she's been cancelling her therapy sessions for tour prep without Bobby knowing. Without any of us knowing," Rumi muttered in frustration.
Jinu sighed. Mystery flinched. And Baby? Baby rolled his eyes. Typical. The green-haired boy walked over to you, shooing Zoey away. When she tried to move, your hand tightened around hers.
"Where are you going?" You groaned, waking up.
Baby winced at the volume of the music blasting through your headphones.
"The boys are here," Zoey whispered, carefully removing herself from you.
You sat up with a stretch and rubbed your eyes.
"Oh, hey."
Baby sat where your head had just been, tossing the cushion onto the floor.
"Don't 'hey' me. Go back to sleep, dumbass."
You didn't need any convincing as you settled your head on his lap, an arm hanging over the side of the sofa. His fingers brushed through your hair as he played a game on his phone. It was easier to relax at home, but it was even easier when Baby was there. Mystery shuffled over, sitting on the floor beside you, and the arm that had been dangling over the edge shifted to drape over the grey-haired boy's shoulder. Baby frowned, resisting the urge to growl at his bandmate as he played with the rings on your fingers.
Everyone knew you saw each other as siblings more than anything else.
That didn't mean the rapper who'd been crushing on you for months had to like it, though.
Several hours had passed before you finally woke again, and when you did, you were no longer on the sofa. Instead, you were in your bed. It was dark, aside from the soft shifting glow of your galaxy lamp in the far corner. A weight around your waist drew your attention to your side. Baby was sleeping beside you, holding you close to his chest as he rested in his demon form. Your fingers carefully traced the patterns on his cheeks and neck. The coolness of his skin was comforting. His eyes fluttered at the contact before opening, vibrant gold meeting yours.
"Go back to sleep," he muttered tiredly, "I've got you."
