{coco is just Cocona from XG} + skz x oc
summary: Coco can and will fall asleep anywhere. Meetings, airports, practice rooms, makeup chairs—nowhere is safe. The members eventually stop asking how and start asking where this time?
———————————— 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯 ‘game start’
The first time it happened, everyone panicked.
It was one of those long company meetings where nobody actually wanted to be there. Managers talking about schedules, comeback plans, filming dates, flights, rehearsals.
Chan was taking notes.
Changbin was pretending to take notes.
Hyunjin was drawing on the corner of the paper.
And Coco was sitting quietly beside Felix, listening with their chin resting on their hand.
At least they had been listening.
Because halfway through a sentence about promotional schedules—
bonk.
Their head hit the table.
The entire room froze.
Jeongin jumped. "COCO?"
Chan was already halfway out of his chair.
The manager stopped talking.
Jeongin looked genuinely horrified.
Meanwhile Coco lifted their head slightly, eyes barely open.
"...Hm?"
"You just collapsed!" Changbin exclaimed.
Coco blinked at him.
"No I didn't."
"...Your face hit the table."
"Oh."
A pause
"I fell asleep."
The room went silent.
"You WHAT?"
Apparently, Coco could sleep anywhere.
Not "good at napping" anywhere.
Not "falls asleep on long drives" anywhere.
Anywhere.
Exhibit A: Practice Room
Dance practice had been brutal.
Everyone was taking a water break while Chan explained changes to the choreography.
Lee Know was nodding.
Hyunjin was stretching.
Changbin was drinking enough water to refill an aquarium.
And Coco was standing against the mirrored wall with their arms crossed.
Chan looked over.
"...Coco?..”
No response.
"Coco?"
Still nothing.
Han walked closer.
Their eyes were closed.
"...Are they sleeping standing up?"
They were.
They absolutely were.
Leaning against the wall.
Completely upright.
Somehow balanced purely through determination and gravity.
Felix looked impressed.
"I didn't know humans could do that."
Exhibit B: Makeup Chair
The makeup artist stepped away for maybe two minutes
When she came back, Coco was asleep mid-eyeshadow
Head tilted back
Brush still hovering near their face
The poor stylist looked terrified she'd somehow sedated them
Exhibit C: Waiting Room
This one became infamous.
The members were filming something for SKZ Code.
The cameras were setting up.
Everyone was talking.
Five minutes later Felix noticed something.
"...Guys."
Coco was gone.
Panic.
Immediate panic.
Until Hyunjin pointed silently towards the corner.
There, somehow folded into one of the tiny plastic waiting room chairs not designed for human comfort, was Coco.
Asleep.
Hood up.
Arms crossed.
Looking genuinely peaceful.
"How?" Changbin asked.
"What do you mean how?" Lee Know replied.
"They're a cat."
Eventually the members stopped panicking.
Mostly.
Chan still checked for breathing occasionally.
Jeongin had developed an almost supernatural ability to catch Coco before they tipped over.
Twice during practice.
Three times during award shows.
Once during a photoshoot.
That one had been particularly impressive because they had somehow fallen asleep while sitting perfectly upright.
The real problem was that Coco gave absolutely no warning.
No yawning.
No "I'm tired."
Nothing.
One second they were participating in the conversation.
The next—
Gone.
Offline.
System shutdown.
One evening Chan walked into the dorm kitchen to find Coco asleep at the table.
There wasn't even food there.
Just Coco.
Sleeping.
Like they'd sat down and their body had immediately decided that was enough activity for one day.
Chan laughed quietly.
"You know," he said to nobody in particular, "I actually don't know if they're sleep deprived or just powered by hibernation."
"Both," Seungmin answered instantly.
The members adapted.
Changbin became the designated blanket provider.
Han carried snacks in case Coco woke up confused and hungry.
Lee Know had mastered the art of moving sleeping Coco from uncomfortable places to comfortable ones without waking them.
Chan kept track of whether they were actually sleeping enough at night.
Jeongin—
Well.
Jeongin had become the designated catcher.
Because somehow Coco always managed to fall asleep in positions that looked one strong breeze away from disaster.
And every single time,
He'd look over
Coco would already be tipping sideways
He'd catch them automatically
Every single time
Eventually it became muscle memory
One day Hyunjin watched it happen and just stared
"That was freakishly fast."
Jeongin blinked
"...What was?"
"You caught them before they even started falling."
"Oh."
He looked down at Coco, who was still asleep despite almost face-planting into the practice room floor
"...Yeah."
Coco shifted slightly, head resting against his shoulder now
Still asleep
Completely unaware of the chaos they caused simply by existing.
Jeongin sighed
Felix took a picture immediately.
By the end of the year the members had accepted one universal truth:
If you cannot find Coco—
Check the nearest horizontal surface
If that fails—
Check the vertical ones too
Just in case
