You’ve always known Martin differently than the world did.
To everyone else, he was the charming idol who shined on stage, but to you, he was still the boy who used to chase you down the street with a popsicle in hand, laughing until he tripped.
Even now, years later, when the schedules and cameras filled his life, he always came back.
Sometimes it was late at night, sometimes early in the morning, but he always knocked on your window with that familiar grin.
“Movie night?” he’d say, holding up snacks in one hand, the same old bracelet glinting on his wrist. The one you’d both made in middle school with beads that didn’t match.
You smiled at the sight of it, tugging at your own wrist to show him you still had yours too. “Movie night.”
At some point during your hangouts, you noticed the back of his phone case.
Slipped under the clear cover was the photobooth strip you two had taken years ago—crooked smiles, silly poses, and one photo where you’d been caught mid-laugh with him staring at you instead of the camera.
“You still keep that?” you asked softly.
Martin glanced down at his phone, lips quirking. “Of course I do. Why wouldn’t I?”
The world of fame felt like it should’ve pulled him further from you, but those little things—the bracelet, the photo—were his way of reminding you he was still your Martin.
One weekend, the two of you decided to grab ice cream, just like you used to. It was supposed to be simple. No disguises, no heavy hoods—just him in a cap and mask.
But even idols couldn’t always slip by unnoticed.
A fan recognized him.
“Is that… Martin?” someone whispered, phone half-raised. A couple of others turned their heads, the quiet excitement spreading.
Martin felt your hand twitch at your side, but before you could pull away, he slid his fingers between yours, holding on. His grip was warm, steady, like an anchor.
He leaned closer, murmuring just for you, “Don’t worry. I don’t care what they see.”
The fans watched, snapping photos, and your heart pounded. For a moment, it felt like the whole world knew the secret you’d both been guarding.
That night, the photos appeared online. You didn’t even have to search for them—they found you, tagged under his name, comments flooding in.
“Who is she??”
“He’s holding hands?? With a non-celebrity??”
“She’s pretty, but… this feels weird.”
“He better not be dating.”
Your stomach sank as you scrolled.
The warmth from earlier was swallowed by the chill of reality. What if this ruined things for him? What if you became the reason fans turned on him?
The next time Martin came over, you tried to smile like nothing was wrong, but he noticed instantly.
“You’ve been reading, haven’t you?”
You looked down at your bracelet, fiddling with the worn beads.
“I don’t want to cause problems for you, Martin. Maybe we should… take a break from hanging out in public.”
For the first time, you saw frustration flicker across his face—not at you, but at the situation. He stepped closer, gently tugging your hand away from your bracelet so you’d look at him.
“Don’t say that,” he said firmly.
“You’ve been with me way before any of this. You’re not a problem. You’re the reason I still feel like myself.”
His voice softened then, thumb brushing over your knuckles.
“If holding your hand causes rumors, let them talk. I’d rather deal with that than lose you.”
And in that moment, you realized—he wasn’t just holding onto the bracelet, or the photo, or the memories. He was holding onto you.
Note: Sorry for uploading so slow. I’ve been wondering whether I should take a break from writing for Cortis. Since there’s a lot of controversy about writing for them (especially since they’re minors) But idk, what do you guys think???

Hii I'm very happy that there is someone writing about cortis and especially that Martin is also your bias💗
Can you write a Martin x Reader where Reader is the 7th and youngest member of Katseye. They met during their training in Hybe, became friends, and started hanging out. Martin was in the audience when the Dream Academy finals were held and all 7 of Katseye won (maybe Reader will be the 3rd member after Lara). Right after that, he confessed his love to Reader and they became a couple. Katseye travels around the world and is very famous, and Martin is very supportive of her. He's even at the front of the audience with Cortis when Katseye performs at Lallopalooza.
Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language😔
Hii!!! I'm so glad someone read my fic! (I thought no one would lmao)
I love love love you're idea and thank you so much for requesting. I actually had this similar idea in mind a few days ago and I was SO happy that you requested this (˶ > ₃ < ˶)♡
I hope I bring justice to your idea! And thank you again for being my first request ᡣ𐭩
