Martin is the type to apologize before you've even fully processed what happened.
He'll replay the moment in his head a hundred times, pacing around, groaning into his hands, convinced he ruined everything even if it was something tiny.
When he finally finds you alone, he's already midâramble - stumbling over his words, insisting he didn't mean it, and that he hates the idea of you being upset because of him.
And even after you forgive him, he'll check in again later... just to make sure you really meant it.
BORROWED
It's freezing at the RedRed shoot - the kind of cold that makes everyone miserable.
You're shivering, trying to warm your hands, and Martin notices immediately.
Without saying anything, he shrugs off his jacket and drapes it over your shoulders.
It's way too big on you - sleeves past your hands, collar swallowing half your neck - but it's warm, and it smells like him.
You thank him, and he nods like it's no big deal...
But the second you turn away, he bounces on his toes in place, quietly freaking out because you look too cute in his jacket.
Then he forces himself to stand still and act serious when you look back - like he wasn't just having a whole internal meltdown.
COMPLIMENTS
Martin gives compliments constantly - loud, excited, and without thinking twice.
If he likes your hair, your outfit, your laugh, he'll say it right away, no hesitation at all.
But when you compliment him?
He turns red instantly, smiles too big, and mumbles a soft "thanks" while looking at the floor.
He'll pretend he's fine... but he's absolutely blushing for the next ten minutes.
DANCE
Martin secretly wants to dance around you - he really does - but the second you're actually there, he suddenly feels like there's way more pressure.
He'll hover near you during practice, doing tiny little shoulder moves or goofy steps, testing the waters without fully committing.
Part of him thinks it'd be fun to dance with you... but the other part panics and decides he'd rather die than accidentally mess up in front of you.
So he settles for dancing near you - close enough to make you laugh, but not close enough to risk tripping over his own feet.
ELASTIC
Martin is fairly likely to shoot a rubber band at you. Especially when he is bored and wants your attention or when he is feeling particularly bold.
Like some teen boi trying to get the girls attention in one of those dramas.
FRAGILE
Martin handles sensitive things pretty normally, but he doesn't open up completely with just anyone - especially not the guys.
He tries to keep a tough, loud exterior, acting like nothing ever gets to him.
But if he ever had to be fragile with someone, it'd be you.
On the rare days he's really down and the others aren't around, you might catch him quietly wiping tears from his eyes.
And if you hugged him in that moment, he'd finally let himself fall apart - because with you, he actually feels safe.
GIFT
Martin is absolutely the type to be out somewhere and suddenly spot a tiny keychain, charm, or bracelet that reminds him of you - and buy it instantly.
He'll ride the elevator back up to the dorms smiling to himself... right until Keonho starts teasing him and Juhoon snickers in the corner.
He'll groan, shove them away, and act all embarrassed - but the second he gives it to you and sees how happy you are, he forgets all about them.
And you'd replace your expensive merch keychain with his little convenienceâstore gift without hesitation, because it means more than anything money could buy.
HUG
Martin is definitely a back hugger. When you are cold, or he again if you haven't been giving him attention,
OR if you've been giving all your attention to Keonho, he will try to steal your affection back with a back hug.
ICE CREAM
You don't know it, but under your contact on Martin's phone... he literally has everything written down to remember about you. Your favorite Ice cream being one of them.
He uses the time on his lunch break while filming in LA to run to an ice cream shop and get two cones (one being mint of course) and then returning triumphant to present you the delicious cold treat. And the smile you give him - makes skipping lunch so worth it.
JINX
If you said somthing at the same time. Martin would gasp and then point at you dramatically.
"You gotta buy me a coke now!"
But when you got to the vending machine he would push you out of the way with his hip and put in his cash. Handing you your favorite soda instead, with a smile.
LISTEN
Whenever you start talking, Martin takes his headphones off completely - not just one ear, the whole thing - and turns his full attention to you.
He listens with that soft, meaningful expression he only uses when he actually cares about what someone is saying.
And he values your opinions more than he'll ever admit... especially your awful jokes, which he pretends to judge but secretly loves.
MESSY
If Martin ever had to wake up early for a meeting, he'd show up completely thrown together - hair a mess, hoodie halfâzipped - and immediately feel embarrassed about it.
He'd worry you'd never take him seriously again, mumbling an apology for "looking like a disaster."
But when you just laugh and tell him he could pull off any look, he'd blink, say a quiet "Okay... thanks," and try not to smile too hard.
And later, while he rushes to actually get ready for the day, he'd be grinning to himself the whole time.
NOSTALGIA
You're both sitting in the car, waiting to drive to an interview, when Martin suddenly scrolls through his phone and gasps.
"Oh my gosh, I remember this song!" he says, already hitting play.
You spin around in your seat. "That was literally my favorite song!"
And without even thinking, the two of you start singing it - loudly, horribly, and completely offâkey - windows shaking, harmonies illegal, vibes immaculate.
By the time the manager knocks on the window to tell you it's time to go, you're both breathless from laughing more than singing.
OBSERVE
Martin notices things about you without even trying - the tiny happy dance you do when you get your favorite food, or the little smile you can't hide when something goes right.
But he also sees the moments when you're overwhelmed, when your eyes look shiny and you're holding yourself together by a thread.
He'll go to you immediately, wrap you in a tight hug, and stay there until your breathing evens out.
And later, without making a big deal of it, he'll quietly tell the manager you've been working a lot and ask if you can take your break early - because he always pays attention.
PROTECT
If you and Martin were walking to your favorite snack shop and three guys were standing outside staring at you, whispering and laughing, he'd notice instantly.
Without saying a word, he'd reach for your hand and hold it tight, stepping closer to you as he straightened up to his full height.
Then he'd stand right next to them - tall, serious, and glaring just enough to make his point - until the guys quietly walked away.
And once they were gone, he'd look down at you like nothing happened, still holding your hand as if it belonged there.
QUIET
They were all getting ready for a special awards ceremony, fixing their suits and straightening ties while you followed behind as staff for the event.
But when you stepped out in a classy, elegant dress that suited you perfectly, Martin went completely quiet.
In the car, he had to sit next to you, hands folded, staring straight ahead like he forgot how to function.
The whole drive, he didn't say a word - until he finally glanced over and murmured, barely above a whisper, "You look nice."
And then he went silent again, ears pink, pretending he wasn't thinking about it the entire ride.
REST
Martin will push through exhaustion without complaining, working long past the point he should've stopped.
But during break, if he sees you on the lounge couch, he'll wander over and quietly flop down beside you - his head turned toward you, the rest of his body taking up the entire couch.
He falls asleep instantly, like just being near you finally lets him relax.
And you gently pat his head, watching his breathing slow, knowing he only ever rests this easily around you.
SPOON
Obviously a big spoon... or I guess a tall spoon. Paired with being a back hugger it just makes sense that he would pull you agaisnt his chest to be the big (tall) spoon he is.
But I guess if he really wanted to he would curl up and try to be a small spoon.
TUCK
If Martin ever saw you relaxing in a chair or curled up on a couch, he'd quietly slip off his jacket without saying anything.
He'd drape it over you gently, tucking it around your shoulders like it was the most natural thing in the world.
And before you could look up or thank him, he'd already be sneaking away - pretending he didn't just do something incredibly sweet.
UNDO
Whenever he sees you smile or laugh really hard at something, Martin can't help but smile too - even if he tries to hide it.
He'll look away fast, pretending he's not blushing, but the pink in his cheeks always gives him away.
And when you're really focused on something - brows furrowed, lips pressed together, completely in your zone - he thinks it's the cutest thing in the world.
It quietly undoes him every single time.
VIEW
Sometimes when you walk by, Martin gets completely caught off guard - by your outfit, your hair, or the fact that he maybe... possibly... but definitely not likely thinks you're cute.
He'll stare for half a second too long before snapping out of it, looking away fast or pretending he was zoning out the whole time.
And if you catch him?
He'll act like he didn't see anything at all - even though his ears are already turning red.
WHISPER
From the back seat of the car, Martin leans forward suddenly, getting way too close just to whisper a joke in your ear.
He's grinning, waiting for you to laugh - completely unaware of how red your face is getting.
He pulls back casually, proud of himself, while you're still sitting there trying to breathe normally... and he doesn't notice a thing.
XâRAY
Martin can always read your mind - especially when you're about to complain about something.
If you're too hot, too cold, too tired, or two seconds away from saying "ugh," he somehow senses it first.
He'll finish your sentence before you even start it, then immediately fix the problem like it's the most normal thing in the world.
Half the time you don't even get the chance to speak - he's already handing you a blanket, opening a window, or adjusting the AC with a quiet, knowing look.
YAWN
Martin yawns all the time - he's tired literally 24/7.
And he's used to the guys yawning in his face, loudly, dramatically, like they're trying to summon a demon. It's annoying.
But you?
The way you yawn is different.
You cover your mouth a little, your eyes get heavy for a second, and your whole expression softens - and he ends up staring a little too long every time.
"How is yawning even cute?!" he thinks, immediately looking away before anyone notices.
Meanwhile he's the one yawning again because you made it contagious... and because he's down bad.
ZIPPER
Martin is struggling with his zipper - pulling it up, then down, then up again - getting more frustrated every second.
He finally jumps in place with a little annoyed huff, like the zipper personally offended him.
You walk over, gently take the fabric, and fix it in one smooth motion, zipping it all the way up.
When your eyes meet afterwards, he completely freezes.
He can't even say thank you.
And you walk away just as flustered, cheeks warm, pretending that didn't feel like a whole moment.

synopsis: upon stumbling across an old, dilapidated building site on the way home from a night out with your friends, you soon find out that it is the residence of old, cunning vampire, james, the same vampire who has been stalking you for the past 4 years. eventually, whilst exploring his crypt, you find things that surprise even you.
pairing: vampire james x black fem! human reader, suggestive themes
authors note: this is lowkey kinda fast paced and clunky, but im working on my writing đ
inspired by buffy the vampire slayer when buffy found a big shrine of pictures of her that spike made đđ
prt1 prt2 prt3
you were never quite the biggest fan of shortcuts, but after your best friend had recommended a more quick and easy route to reach home that didnt involve having to walk endlessly for 45 minutes, you knew it would be hard to resist that incredibly tempting opportunity.
you couldnt help but be angry at yourself, that you allowed yourself to stay out so late to the point where there were no signs of transport to take home. no buses, no taxis, no nothing. your brother had even warned you. after you looked up from your phone before you left the party to find 20 missed calls from him, you knew you had overstepped your boundaries instantly, and was going to get a huge scolding when you returned home.
you dragged yourself along the walkway, the silver moon illuminating the tiles ahead of you. it was quite chilly this night, the weather never failing to remind you that you should have worn something less revealing, the slit on your dress uplifting every few moments to reveal your thighs, in which you had to use your scarf to cover it up. luckily enough for yourself, nobody was around for miles to witness this travesty.
thankfully, your trust within your friend was validated as your felt yourself inching closer and closer to your home, as the more familiar buildings and houses began to become more visible in sight. the street lamps, which were still turned on, being the only form of nightlife left, in comparison to all the closed restaraunts with dimmed lights and unopened windows. you let out a deep sigh of relief, your lungs inhaling the fresh, crisp autumn air. you were finally safe.
suddenly, a twig snapped in the distance. you snapped around rapidly, scanning the scenery for any signs of life around you. a small, yet swift figure zoomed past into the forest ahead of you, almost as if it was afraid of something behind it. it had been close enough to you for long enough to make out the shape of a small stray dog.
you were always a big animal lover. dogs, cats, the whole lot. due to this, you had pondered on whether or not to investigate what was going on; because by the looks of it, the thought of you knowing that you were willingly letting a stray dog become endangered without helping it rubbed you the completely wrong way. but then again, you had also remembered the fact that it was a necessity for you to head home.
as you considered the fact that you were almost home anyway, you realised that a few minutes of exploring a forest to save an endangered stray dog wouldnât be the worst thing in the world. and with that, you made a right, and hauled yourself towards the forest.
soil had already coated the entirety of your heels, burrowing deep into your toes. you had soon realised that these really werenât a suitable choice of footwear that should be used to explore a forest late at night, whether or whether not you had just been partying an hour before. carefully, you braced yourself with every few steps. trudging through through the forest, taking long strides over the damaged vegetation and broken trees. absolutely no visible evidence of the stray dog that had once zoomed past you on the main road could be found within this forest.
you searched through bushes, through trees, though tree logs, for what felt like hours. it had even gotten so extreme to the point where your once glamorous bun, had shrivelled up into a sweaty, unclean mess around your head. you had been so confused at this point; it had led you to wonder whether you had been hallicinating this entire time, or whether what you had experienced was genuinely real. and the deeper you entered into the forest, the more you started losing your sanity.
you had reached a large patch of greenery that was disconnected from the rest, swarmed with tall, overgrown branches and brambles, looking so out of place, nothing like the rest of the forest. it was an open space, darker and more gloomy, surrounded by aged, greyish grasses. it stretched into densely tangled structure, almost houselike. with curiosity getting the best of you, you had walked around it, searching for any nooks and crannies, within some of the empty holes.
surprisingly enough, an open space, free of all brambles and thorns, housed a worn out, rusted lone door, slightly ajar enough to the point where a small beam of moonlight shone through. you pressed your ear closely against the wood, listening in for any noises. silence. with a shaky hand, you gently pushed the door open, ensuring that it wouldnt collide with the wall next to it, revealing you as a disrespectful intruder for any possible inhabitants of this area. a short black staircase was revealed ahead of you, leading into what seemed like a basement like structure. you couldnât really see much from where you stood; so you knew that if you really wanted to explore what lay before you, you would need to go further in. way further in.
you placed one foot on a stair, testing its stability to ensure that you wouldnât fall through. nothing. you placed your other foot on the stair and stood still for a few seconds, making sure to shift your entire weight onto it, testing the waters. nothing again. as you were around ninety nine percent sure that walking on this staircase wasnât a free death trap, you made your way down cautiously, stopping every few moments to make sure that you were stable enough on your heels.
once you had finally made it all the way down, you looked around in awe. an orange light illuminated the entire room, contrasting well with a little brown bookshelf adorned with many books of different shapes. a little candle lay next to it, the wax incredibly worn out, pretty much melted, with its flame still unblown, which was probably where the warm, earthy cinnamon scent was coming from. it all seemed like a facade to house something more secretive; as it was impossible to hide the crumbling stone ceilings, dirty cobwebs, and thick layers of dust in some corners. no matter how strong the cinammon scent was, it was no match for the pungent, metallic scent of blood that was destroying your nostrils. it was as if this place had been around for decades with how old and tattered some of these features were.
it had been nothing like any ordinary house, no windows, blocking out any and all forms of sunlight, isolated from the rest of humanity in a little crook seperated from the rest of a dingy little forest in the middle of a small town. quite predatory in a sense, especially with the fact that it looked ten times bigger on the inside than it did on the outside.
you walked further and further forward, scanning the scenery for anything else that peaked your interest, finding it hard to look for anything else that was worthy of fascinating you. old music records, aged wine bottles, old decor took up places on shelves and cupboards. nothing else took your attention other than a big, long beige cloak that took up a large corner. it was almost as if it was hiding many things beneath it, as you found it incredibly unconventional for a person to have a big cloak covering a small section of their house. at one point you didnât even want to look under there; wondering whether you would find something completely frightening that would be a sign for you to run out right now and return home, or whether it was something that would ensure that your visit lasts a little bit longer. but this area felt entirely different from everywhere else.
slowly, you held onto the material, the feeling rough and sandpaper like within your hand. the material was decaying, old and tattered, and slightly heavy. with a small light tug, you pulled it down, your heart suddnely stopping with a sharp panging in your stomach. you stood in awe, baffled by what lay in front of you. what was strange once, had become a thousand times stranger.
pictures of you, printed and hand drawn were scattered across the wall; some in black and white, some coloured. but not only that. old clothes that went missing in the past, for example, your blue cashmere sweater, and even your old baby pink panties that you once had.
it had been a huge question as to who would have had even been as downright disgusting and obsessive enough to even go to the extreme lengths of having to steal your clothes. well, one person would.
taken aback, you stumbled backwards slowly. you knew you had overstayed your welcome. you had cursed yourself, wished that you hadnât been as curious enough as to enter a crazy, creepy stalkers lair. but thankful enough to know that you had a target on your back, and you needed to watch out for it. maybe it would have been better if you had just headed straight home after all.
as you were about to run off for good, you felt a sharp, strong small attack your nose, a string small of cologne and aftershave, easily distinguishable throughout the smell of blood and cinammon. it seemed to be from way above you. and from that moment forward, it had become clear that house were not alone in this house.
âsee anything interesting?â, a sharp masculine voice boomed throughout the scenery, commanding and cocky.
you looked up quickly, a man looming above you, standing tall and confident. a smirk riddled his face, as if he knew what he was doing. he realised he had just gotten caught by you. but by his expression, he didnât care. not one bit. by now, you had just realised it. he was the perpetrator behind all of this. no wonder his face was so familiar.
james.
the crazy, impulsive, egotistical vampire that had been in love with you for years. a close friend of your brothers. you had met him before. he had always seemed quite too friendly towards you in every single case; he was touchy, overprotective and posessive, but you would have never thought he would stoop as low as to do this. but it had all made sense.
your brother had obviously invited him into your guysâ house, as he was a vampire. he had told you and your brother of his identity as a vampire years ago; you were quite freaked out at the possibility of a supernatural being having full access to tour house at any given time of any minute, hour and day. but your brother was so particularly fond of him, and he was strangely nice and caring to you.
sometimes when you werenât at home, your brother and him would meet up. it had become obvious now that that was how some of your clothes went missing: he had been using your brother to get to you this whole time.
whatever he was planning with you. you didnât like if.

âStrawberries are soft but they have a lot of seeds.They cannot grow in environments that are too hot or too cold-
You smiled as you set your phone down. Juhoon was your boyfriend of 5 months, yet you guys have established a strong relationship. You have noticed and accepted Juhoonâs personality of trying to act like he doesnât care about anything, becuase you know he is soft deep inside.
âHere, I also bought some strawberriesâ he said softly as he handed it to you.
âThanks hoonâ you smiled and hugged him tightly before taking the bag from his hands.
âI heard strawberries go well with yogurtâ
âYeah.. it does. The sweetness from the strawberry evens out with the sourness of the yogurtâ you smiled.
Juhoonâs gaze faltered a bit as your comment left your mouth. Have you said something wrong? Before you could ask about it-Juhoon started to hear voices.
âYou speak too slowâ
âThereâs no way he can keep upâ
âVisual holeâ
âHis personality is so boringâ
The voices kept coming, but your gentle tug on his sleeve made him gain control over his thoughts again.
âYou ok?â You said softly.
He looked into your eyes without saying anything, offering his hand so you guys can get going. With a smile, you accepted and led him into your house while the other members voices fade into the background.
âThanks for helping me, hoonâ you smiled as you looked over to him, who was washing the strawberries.
âI donât have other things to doâ he said bluntly while you had a small pout.
âJust say you hate meâ you said jokingly while sulking.
You heard a soft sigh before feeling a warmth on your shoulder, followed by a faint scent of cologne.
âI donât hate youâ his voice echoed in your ear as he gently nuzzled his face into your shoulder. Your heart fluttered as you patted his head and smiled.
âI know, I was teasingâ you said while turning to the side to plant a soft peck on his cheeks. Juhoon finally broke into a rare, soft smile.
âSmile more, it suites youâ you said as you kissed his cheek again.
âI always wanted to ask you somethingâ he said while looking at you, hands hovering hesitantly before finally setting it on your waist.
âWhatâs wrong, hoon?â
âDo you feel like I belong in Cortisâ
Your eyes widened a bit as you cupped his cheek, knowing that something must be bothering him.
âOf course! You keep up so well, and you also match their energy- you just donât see itâ you said while stroking his cheek with your thumb.
âI really donât see it though, I think they are better off without meâ he confessed.
You punched his chest- not too hard, but firm enough.
âDonât say that ever again. Martin loves you- and so does the rest. You literally get babied by them even though youâre not the oldest. Actions speaks louder than words, Juhoonâ you frowned while comforting him.
âYou really think so? You donât think I talk too slow.. or that Iâm not worthyâ he asked as his nonchalant facade breaks, revealing the soft and crushed boy underneath.
âI know so, so donât listen to any hateâ
âThank youâ
You smiled as you pulled him in for a kiss. You felt his breath hitch before leaning in and cupping your cheek. Once you pulled away, you could see his stupidly cute grin plastered on his face.
âI love youâ
âLove you too, hoonâ
-However, strawberries are easy to grow for beginners.â

JAMES đŠ
Backstage at a concert venue in America.Â
Itâs loud, chaotic, staff running everywhere, lights flashing, equipment being rolled past. The boys are getting ready for their next stage, and James is standing off to the side adjusting his inâears, focused and calm in that very James way.
Youâre weaving through the maze of cables with a clipboard, trying to get to the stylist table. Someone calls your name, you turn your head for half a secondâ
âand your foot catches on a thick cable.
You stumble forward.
Before you even register whatâs happening, a hand grabs your arm.Â
Firm. Steady.Â
Pulling you upright before you hit the ground.
You crash into someoneâs chest.
James.
Heâs holding you by the waist with one hand, the other braced on your arm, keeping you steady. His pink inâears dangle from his fingers, forgotten.
For a moment, neither of you moves.
His eyes widen just slightly â not dramatic, not shocked, just that tiny James microâexpression he gets when something catches him off guard.
âYou okay?â he asks, voice low, steady, but thereâs a hint of breathlessness he didnât mean to let slip.
You nod, flustered.Â
âYeahâ I justâ the cableââ
He glances down at the floor, then back at you, still holding you like heâs not sure youâre stable yet.
âYou need to watch where youâre going,â he says, but itâs not scolding.Â
Itâs soft.Â
Concern disguised as annoyance.
You try to step back, but his hand stays on your waist for a second longer than necessary â like heâs doubleâchecking youâre not going to fall again.
Then he realizes it.
He lets go immediately, clearing his throat and looking away like he didnât just catch you like a scene out of a drama.
Martin, passing by:Â
âWOAHHHH, ZHAO SAVING LIVES OUT HEREââ
James shoots him a look that could silence a stadium.
Then he turns back to you, calmer now, slipping his inâears back on.
ââŠBe careful,â he says quietly. âYou scared me for a second.â
You blink.Â
âYou? Scared?â
He gives you that tiny halfâsmile â the one he does when heâs trying not to show heâs flustered.
âDonât make me catch you again,â he mutters, walking past you toward the stage.
But as he passes, his hand brushes your elbow â light, intentional, protective â like heâs still making sure youâre steady.
And when he thinks youâre not looking, he glances back at you once.Â
Just once.Â
Just long enough to replay the moment in his head.
---
MARTIN đâđŠș
The outdoor market is packed â vendors shouting, tourists wandering, music playing from a speaker somewhere. Martin is walking ahead of you, holding a skewer of something he insisted you âabsolutely HAVE to try,â waving it around like a kid showing off a trophy.
Youâre trying to keep up, weaving through people, when someone bumps your shoulder. You stumble, your foot catches on the edge of a booth rug, and you pitch forwardâ
Straight into Martinâs back.
He yelps, drops his skewer, and spins around just in time to catch you by the arms before you faceâplant into a display of handmade soaps.
âWOAHâ WOAHâ (Y/n)!âÂ
His voice cracks like heâs going through puberty again.
Youâre gripping his sleeves, heart racing.Â
âIâ I trippedââ
He looks at you like you just survived a nearâdeath experience.
âYOU ALMOST DIED,â he declares dramatically, still holding onto you like youâre made of glass.
You try to step back, but he doesnât let go.
âNo, no, no, stay still, youâre unstable,â he says, eyes wide, scanning you like heâs checking for injuries. âAre you okay? Are your legs okay? Do you need water? Do you need a chair? Do you needââ
âMartin, Iâm fine.â
He blinks.Â
Then he realizes heâs still holding your arms.
He drops them instantly and takes a full step back, hands up like heâs been caught doing something illegal.
âI wasnâtâ I meanâ I justâ you scared me,â he mutters, suddenly shy, rubbing the back of his neck.
A vendor nearby laughs.Â
âCute couple,â she says under her breath.
Martin CHOKES.
âWeâreâ weâre notâ I meanâ she justâ she trippedâ I caughtâ it wasnâtââ
He gives up, face turning pink.
You bend down to pick up the skewer he dropped, but he practically dives to stop you.
âNo! Donât touch that! You almost died once today, thatâs enough!â
You stare at him.Â
He stares back, flustered and dramatic and trying so hard to act normal.
Then, quieter, almost embarrassed:
ââŠJust walk next to me, okay? So I can catch you again if you fall.â
He says it like itâs nothing.Â
But his ears are bright red.
And for the rest of the market trip, he stays half a step closer than usual â pretending itâs coincidence, but absolutely not fooling anyone.

JUHOON đą
The hallway is dim and quiet, the kind of lateânight silence that makes every sound feel louder. Most of the staff are downstairs grabbing snacks, and the members are scattered between rooms getting ready for the next shoot. Youâre walking down the carpeted hallway with a stack of wardrobe pieces in your arms, trying to balance everything without dropping it.
Juhoon steps out of his room at the exact same moment you pass by, adjusting the zipper on his jacket. He glances up just as you shift the clothes in your armsâ
âand your foot catches on the edge of the carpet.
You stumble forward, the clothes slipping, your balance gone.
Before you can hit the floor, a hand grabs your wrist.Â
Firm. Steady.Â
Then another hand catches your waist, pulling you upright in one smooth, instinctive motion.
You end up pressed against him, breath caught in your throat.
Juhoon freezes.
Not dramatically.Â
Not loudly.Â
Just⊠completely still.
His eyes widen a fraction â barely noticeable unless youâre close. His grip on your waist tightens for a second, making sure youâre steady before he even thinks about letting go.
âYou okay?â he asks quietly, voice low and warm in the empty hallway.
You nod, flustered.Â
âIâI tripped. Sorryââ
He shakes his head once, slow, controlled.
âDonât apologize.âÂ
His voice is softer now. âIâve got you.â
You swear your heart stops.
He helps you straighten the clothes in your arms, his fingers brushing yours â light, careful, like heâs afraid to startle you. When he finally steps back, itâs only half a step, like heâs still making sure youâre stable.
Then he clears his throat, eyes flicking away for a moment.
âYou should be careful,â he says, but itâs not scolding. Itâs concern wrapped in calm. âThese hallways are⊠tricky.â
You almost laugh.Â
The carpet is perfectly flat.
He knows it.Â
You know it.Â
But heâs trying.
You thank him, and he nods, but he doesnât move. He just watches you for a second â that quiet, observant stare he does when heâs thinking too much.
Then, almost under his breath:
ââŠIf you fall again, make sure Iâm close.â
You blink.Â
He looks away immediately, pretending he didnât say it.
And as you walk down the hallway, you can feel his eyes on you â not in a weird way, but in that protective, silent, slowâburn Juhoon way that says heâs replaying the moment in his head whether he wants to or not.

SEONGHYEON đŠ
The bookstore is quiet â the kind of quiet where you can hear pages turning and soft music playing overhead. Youâre walking down one of the narrow aisles, scanning the shelves for a specific photobook the stylist asked for. Seonghyeon is a few steps behind you, hands in his pockets, quietly humming along to the music.
You reach up to grab a book from a high shelf, step back without lookingâ
âand your heel catches on the edge of a display stand.
You stumble.
Before you can even gasp, a hand grabs your arm.Â
Then another steadies your waist.Â
Youâre pulled upright in one smooth, instinctive motion.
You end up pressed against Seonghyeonâs chest, his arms around you, his breath catching in surprise.
He freezes.
Completely.
His eyes go wide, his lips part just slightly, and he looks like someone just unplugged his brain.
âAhââÂ
Itâs barely a sound, more like a soft exhale of shock.
You straighten up quickly, flustered.Â
âIâI tripped, sorryââ
He shakes his head immediately, too fast, too shy.
âNo, itâs okayâ I meanâ itâs fineâ I justââÂ
He stops, swallows, tries again.Â
âYou scared me.â
His voice is quiet, almost whisperâsoft in the stillness of the aisle.
He steps back a little, but his hand stays on your arm for a second longer than necessary â like heâs making absolutely sure youâre steady before letting go.
Then he realizes it.
He drops his hand instantly, looking away so fast his hair falls into his eyes.
âI wasnâtâ I meanâ I didnât mean to grab you like that,â he says, ears turning pink. âI just⊠reacted.â
You smile, and he gets even redder.
He bends down to pick up the book you dropped, but his fingers brush yours and he jerks back like he touched something hot.
âSâsorry,â he mutters, staring at the floor.
You take the book from him, and he nods, still flustered, still avoiding eye contact.
But as you turn to walk away, you hear him quietly clear his throat.
ââŠIâm glad I was close,â he says softly, almost to himself.
You glance back.
Heâs looking at you now â shy, pinkâeared, but with that tiny, warm smile he only shows when heâs being completely honest.
And for the rest of the time in the bookstore, he stays just a little closer behind youâŠÂ
not enough to be obvious,Â
but enough that if you tripped again, heâd catch you without thinking.

KEONHO đ¶
The arcade is loud enough to shake your bones â neon lights flashing, kids screaming, machines beeping, Martin yelling about beating a high score somewhere in the distance. Youâre weaving through the maze of games, trying to catch up to the boys, when Keonho turns around and waves at you with both hands like an excited golden retriever.
â(Y/n)! Look! I won a plushieââ
You donât even get to see it.
Someone bumps your shoulder, you stumble, your foot catches on the edge of a danceâmachine platform, and you pitch forwardâ
Right into Keonho.
He drops the plushie.Â
He drops EVERYTHING.
âAHâ!âÂ
He catches you by the shoulders, but heâs so startled that he stumbles backward too, and the two of you end up pressed against a claw machine, his arms wrapped around you like heâs trying to shield you from an explosion.
For a full second, he just stands there, wideâeyed, holding you like youâre about to fall through the floor.
Thenâ
âOH MY GOSH ARE YOU OKAY?!âÂ
Heâs yelling.Â
Heâs panicking.Â
Heâs shaking you gently like heâs checking if youâre alive.
Youâre breathless.Â
âIâI trippedââ
âYOU TRIPPED?!âÂ
He looks horrified.Â
âWHY DID YOU TRIP? WHO MADE YOU TRIP? WAS IT ME? DID I TRIP YOU? DID THE FLOOR TRIP YOU?â
You stare at him.Â
He stares back, still holding your arms.
Then he realizes how close you are.
His entire face goes red.
He drops his hands like theyâre on fire and takes a full step back, nearly tripping over a stool himself.
âIâ I wasnâtâ I meanâ I didnât mean toâ I justâ you fellâ I caughtâ Iââ
He gives up, covers his face with both hands, and groans into them.
Meanwhile, Martin appears out of nowhere, holding a giant stuffed shark.
âBRO. DID YOU JUST PRINCESSâCATCH HER?â
Keonho screams.Â
âI DIDNâT PRINCESSâCATCH ANYONEâ SHE ALMOST DIEDââ
Youâre standing there, trying not to laugh, still a little shaken.
Keonho peeks at you through his fingers.
ââŠAre you sure youâre okay?âÂ
His voice is tiny now.Â
Soft.Â
Worried.
You nod.
He exhales like heâs been holding his breath for ten minutes.
Then, shyly, he picks up the plushie he dropped â a little pink dinosaur â and hands it to you.
ââŠYou can have it,â he mumbles. âFor⊠for surviving.â
And for the rest of the night, he walks slightly behind you, arms halfâraised like heâs ready to catch you again at any moment.
