“Hey, y/n, do you wanna learn this dance,” Ten eventually offers after an hour of you just sitting there watching them. At first Ten had argued there wouldn’t be anything fun to do and that you should just chill at home, but there’s no way he’s going to double-down and say ‘I told you so’ when your face looks so sad.

“I dunno, Ten, I’m not great at dancing...” You trail off, wringing your hands together. You look at the other members of WayV, all of them cheering you on from the distance. “I mean, I guess I could stretch my legs.”

“Alright babe, just so you know just because we’re dating doesn’t mean I’m going easy on you.” Ten jests as you take his hand, letting him help you up.

And boy was Ten right. But the rest of the day flew by in fits of laughter. Although, you paid for it the very next day when your legs felt like jell-o.

Winwin: Is a little nervous having you around at work. Sure, it isn’t a secret that he’s dating you but at the same time he isn’t so sure if it was a great idea bringing his s/o to work. Is it too unprofessional? Would you be bored? Winwin doesn’t mean to but he sticks to you like glue, making sure you’re okay. And while it’s very endearing, it’s also a little bit annoying.

“Love, I appreciate the concern, but we’re literally just in a recording room waiting for you to sing your lines. I’m okay,” You assure a slightly frazzled Winwin who, for the briefest moment, looks hurt.

“I know,” Winwin sighs as he slumps even further into the soft couch, “I just feel like I’m boring you. Like, idol work should be fun and stuff. Not just-” he gestures around the room, where a few of the other members also look bored out of their minds, “,this.”

You shake your head and easily intertwine your fingers with Winwin’s own. “Okay fine, maybe this isn’t the most exciting thing, but I wanted to just spend the day with you. Exciting or not. I know you put in a lot of hard work and you’re doing an amazing job.”

You give Winwin’s hand a chaste kiss before going back to the game on your phone. He isn’t able to stop smiling, not even while he records his lines.

Lucas: Is definitely excited that you’re taking an interest in his career life! But at the same time his excitement is quickly sucked away when the two of you start the day. Sometimes Lucas forgets just how busy his schedule is, and as he’s rushed all over the city doing recordings, advertisements, and photo shoots, it feels like he hasn’t been able to see you at all except for when you’re both hastily packed into the car.

“Sorry,” Lucas apologizes with a frown and furrowed-brows, “I thought I’d spend a little more time to talk with you.” He sits down on the grass beside you, a photoshoot having lead the both of you to a nearby field.

“Lucas, it’s okay. This is your job so I understand,” you assure the taller man, softly bumping your shoulders together.

“You’re so amazing y/n,” Lucas shouts as he envelops you into a tight bear hug, “Seriously, you should be the one on the cover of magazines and stuff.”

Suddenly, a light-bulb flicks on and your eyes dart to the props still up for the magazine shoot. “Well, why don’t we conduct a photo shoot of our own,” You suggest as you pull Lucas up. The two of you laugh as you both take turns taking funny photos of each other.

Xiaojun: This man would absolutely love bringing you to work with him. In fact, he’d probably be the one to suggest it because he wants to share everything with you - especially his career. Although he wasn’t sure if you would have fun at an MV shoot, but he finds it cute how you’re curious about the different sets and your endless questions about production, camera work and so-on. If it weren’t for your current career that you absolutely love, Xiaojun would think that you’d want to be a director for SM.

“Lucky Y/n is so nice, because if it were anyone else I think the directer would’ve thrown them out already,” Yangyang mutters to Xiaojun, the duo watching in amusement as you pester the director before quickly moving onto a cameraman. Xiaojun swears you’ve watched the footage more than any of them.

Which, honestly, is quite the feat to do since Ten monitors everything with a fine-tooth cocmb.

“This is so cool! Thanks for bringing me here,” You bounce over to Xiaojun who greets you with a tiny kiss to your forehead. You both ignore Yangyang’s complaints of PDA, choosing instead to hold hands as you watch Winwin step up inside the staged set instead.

“Thanks for bringing me here, Jun. It feels kind of like a field trip, except much cooler.” You whisper quietly as to not disturb the filming. Xiaojun suppresses a laugh, bringing you in close to his side.

Hendery: Is kind of self-conscious about bringing you to work. His schedule isn’t really as packed as the others and honestly, in some ways, he prefers it that way just so he can chill at the dorms and be with you. He honestly just doesn’t want you to get bored while he’s working. Of course though when he tells you that he’s going to SM to practice you practically invited yourself.

“Oh,” Is all you say when Hendery opens the door to a tiny room with drums set up, a few other instruments hanging on the wall, “I thought you were gonna practice dancing.”

Hendery scratches the back of his head as he sits down, picking up the drumsticks as he twirls one idly between his fingers. “Nope, just the drums. I’ve gotten pretty good. Wanna hear a song I’ve been learning?” And of course, how can you say no to your boyfriend? So you nod excitedly and take a seat. The rhythm itself starts off quite plain, but as time goes on Hendery picks up the speed and his arms practically fly all over in a flurry of movements.

By the time the long solo is done, tiny beads of sweat are rolling down his temples. “So, um, yeah...” He trails off awkwardly as he taps one of the snares, eyes looking expectantly at you.

“Babe,” you start off slowly, “that...was so cool! You look like you belong in a band instead. Very rockstar,” you finish with a giant grin that has Hendery squeaking out a laugh.

“Here,” he offers the drumsticks to you, “wanna learn?”

“Oh heck yeah!”

Yangyang: Is absolutely excited to have you at work with him! Is just an absolute puppy that he wants to show you literally all of SM and kind of forgets that he actually has a schedule and obligations. In fact, you run into other idol groups and it’s cute how Yangyang introduces you, your hands mingled with his as you let him drag you everywhere. By the time he does get to where he needs to be though, it’s like a switch flips in him.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look so serious,” you whisper to Ten who’s watching the youngest from afar. This section of the song is only Yangyang’s part, so you can really see how sharp and precise your boyfriend’s moves are. The look of intensity and concentration in his reflection is enough to kind of freak you out. “He’s like a different person.”

Ten snorts. “Yeah, just wait till the music stops. Besides, he’s probably just showing off because you’re here.” And as if on cue, the music stops and Yangyang’s face breaks out into a giant grin as he runs to you, stopping just out of arms length.

“Y/n, y/n, did you watch! Did I look cool or what?”

“Or what,” Ten says but you quickly pinch his side, ignoring the yelp of pain, and grin at your boyfriend.

“You looked so cool Yangie! You must be hungry though, you’ve been practicing for a while.”

“Oh yeah, food.” The younger tilts his head as if just remembers what food was, not like it helped keep you alive or anything. Must be nice to be so young. “You must be hungry too, y/n. C’mon, I’ll show you the cafeteria and then we still have three more floor I have to show you around to.”

Oh god.
