Buy me a coffee?

If someone had told you two years ago that you'd start dating 8 hot guys because of League of Legends, you would’ve laughed in their face.

It didn’t exactly happen overnight, but you were disgustingly infatuated with them. Sometimes you couldn’t even believe you were here.

Oh yeah, and said 8 hot boys were in a world famous K-Pop group, too.

It wasn’t something the 9 of you were public about, even though you’d been officially a part of the polycule for over a year at this point. You didn’t mind. You didn’t need other people to know about your relationship for you to feel happy in it.

Besides, they weren’t the only ones with eyes on them.

“Oh come ON,” you groaned loudly, head thumping against the back of your gaming chair as you died in Valorant again. “That was such a cheap shot. Where the hell was Sage even?”

You watched your chat roll by with mixtures of agreeing rage and teasing remarks on you being washed. You snorted. “Sure sure, it’s my fault for trying a different agent this time. You can’t entirely blame me! I have a ton of cute skins for Skye and I never get to use them!”

Chat scrolled by faster at that comment. As you were responding to a few of them, you saw a familiar name in the mix.

@ sunny-downunder: this is why you should leave Skye to me ;) 

You grinned seeing him here, the VIP badge next to his name making him pop out. Chat got excited too, a stream of “hi sunny!”s quickly taking over the conversation.

“No, I’m definitely getting better at playing Skye,” you argued back playfully. “Besides, you’re not here, so someone has to fill the role!” 

@ sunny-downunder: )))): you know i wish i could join

Chat immediately started begging for Sunny to hop on, but you held up a hand. “Guys, you know Sunny would be in here if he could. He has job stuff,” you groaned exaggeratedly. “Like one of those careers that make you do things.”

@ eggs-benadryl: boooo careers

@ 2319codeblue: idk why Sunny hasn’t started his own Twitch at this point, that’s a WAY better career than whatever he’s doing i’m sure

@ fluffcubed: if Sunny’s face is as chiseled as his voice, i think we’d all die

@ carllllthatkillspeople: he should just get a v-tuber WE’LL PAY YOUR BILLS SUNNY WE PROMISE

You giggled at chat’s antics. “Trust me guys, I’ve tried to talk him into it! Apparently he ‘likes his job’ and he ‘would if he could’,” you used your fingers to air quote for emphasis, rolling your eyes playfully. 

@ sunny-downunder: it’s true chat i’m sorry to disappoint ): 

The chat booed and pleaded some more before you cut in. “Alright, alright, come on let's play another match or two before switching to- what did you guys vote on?” You glanced at your second monitor. “Oh yeah, we're finally trying Subnautica. You guys really wanna kill me don't you?”

Chat flew by and you laughed. “I know, I promised and I can't break it especially since I'm gonna be missing our usual Friday night and Saturday streams this week.” 

When you posted this week's stream schedule in your discord and mentioned you'd be away from your usual Friday and Saturday stream times, the boys instantly texted and asked if you were okay.

Yes, your international pop star boyfriends were in your discord. No one knew it was them, though. And honestly, your audience only knew Felix (Sunny), Han (@ uno-dos-tres “Uno”), and Seungmin (@ mini-shibaaa “Shiba”), so the other boys were just random lurkers as far as they were concerned. 

But you'd told them that you were having a “girls weekend” with some friends and you promised to send them pictures later.

Which wasn't a total lie! You were a girl and you planned on having a nice weekend… surprising your boyfriends by showing up to their concert.

Before your stream was over, Han and Seungmin had also popped into chat to cause a bit of chaos. The three of them had played with you on stream plenty of times, which is why chat knew them, though their voices were never played through your stream.

They were a bit recognizable to say the least.

Your chat had asked you about it several times (to the point that it became a chat command your mod could use to easily answer newcomers), to which you simply replied, “Not everyone wants to crash out in front of thousands of people, or have their voices plastered online.”

Which was ironically a very false statement about your boys, they had MANY viral crash outs in their SKZ Code videos, but your chat didn’t need to know that. 

After establishing a base in Subnautica, and screaming more than once when you got jumped by a leviathan, you finally signed off.

“I’ll be back on Monday like usual,” you promised your chat as you waved goodbye. “Have a good weekend everyone!”

Now, it was time to enact your plan.

The boys had come to your city a couple weeks ago. You’d spent a lot of time with them and had enjoyed every minute of it. They’d begged (in their own ways) you to tag along for more stops.

“You can stream from the hotel,” Han suggested pleadingly.

“Or we could just pay your bills for the next couple of months,” Minho stated dryly, though you could tell by his raised eyebrow that he wasn’t joking.

“Firstly, streaming from a laptop and constantly moving around would not be a fun combo,” you pointed out. “Also, chat would have soooo many questions about why I was in like 20 different hotels. And as much as I love you guys, you’re not just giving me a ton of money to pay my bills.”

They grumbled but let it go, wanting to spend the rest of the time with you not thinking about how you were going to leave eventually.

You wouldn’t lie and say you hadn’t thought about their offer multiple times. Your job did allow for a lot of flexibility. You could probably switch to a green screen while you traveled, and just cut your streams down as needed.

Plus, you missed them. You really did. 

After a month of pondering over it, you’d decided you would take them up on your offer.

If they’d still have you, of course, (though you doubted they would turn you down).

Your flight left bright and early tomorrow, landing midday at your destination. Aka enough time to throw your stuff in the hotel room and get to the arena to wait for a wristband for barricade. 

Because you were (hopefully) going to be sticking around for a bit, you ended up needing every suitcase you had. You had one checked bag full of your streaming stuff (and a blanket to cushion it all), another full of shoes and all of your beauty/health products, and then your carry on full of clothes. Your backpack had your immediate necessities: your travel pillow, headphones, charger, Steamdeck, some snacks, and the hoodie you'd stolen from Changbin before you'd left them last time. 

You checked the time once you were finally done packing, moving your stuff into the living room so you could grab it on your way out in the morning. You laid out your clothes for the next day and had a quick shower before climbing into bed.

Despite the excited nerves coursing through you, you'd had a fairly long day, so you were just exhausted enough to go to sleep. 

The second you heard your alarm blare in your ears, you were wide awake. You had almost too much time to get ready and grab a bite to eat before heading out the door. You got to the airport nearly 2.5hrs before your flight.

It was fine. You'd rather sit at your gate excitedly than pace at home watching the clock tick down. 

As you settled into your seat at the gate, your carry-on bag tucked under your legs, backpack sat in your lap, you decided to double check your hotel reservation to make sure you knew where it was. It was closer to the arena than the airport, so you’d need to grab an Uber when you got there. 

You killed time by catching up on some podcasts and texting your friends. Since it was so early, your boyfriends were still asleep most likely. It felt odd to be so close in timezone to them for once, but you weren’t complaining.

And soon you’d be in the same time zone for a while.

You were honestly so excited you tried not to think about it.

You’d treated yourself to business class for your trip, so once it was finally time to board you were one of the first ones on. You quickly got your earbuds out, as well as your travel pillow. You hoped to catch some Zs on the flight so you could be nice and rested for the concert. 

Luckily your neighbor was on the same page as you, also tucking in instead of trying to start up conversation. It made it much easier to sleep the flight away.

As you trekked your way through the unfamiliar airport, following the signs for rideshare, you could feel your heart start to flutter. 

You were actually here.

You were in the same city as your boys.

You were only a couple of hours away from seeing them again.

You couldn’t keep the grin off your face if you tried as you made it up the stairs and started looking for your ride.

“Y/N, right?” The driver asked when you finally spotted their car. You nodded, showing them your phone to prove it was you. He smiled. “Great! Here, let me help with your bags.”

You thanked him as he helped fit your two checked bags into his trunk. “So, why are you in town?”

“I’m here for a concert tonight,” you said.

“Oh fun! Who is it?”

“Stray Kids,” you said with a slight laugh. “They’re a KPop group.”

“No way! My best friend really likes them. I bet she’s going tonight, too,” he replied excitedly.

You had a nice chat with the driver for the rest of the ride. You jotted down some of the recommendations he gave you for places to see and eat at. When you got to the hotel, he made sure to help load your luggage onto the luggage cart, even.

You'd mentioned on the drive that you'd be heading to the arena shortly after checking in, and he said he could hang around to give you a ride there, too.

Honestly, you immediately took him up on it. Having a trusted Uber driver was invaluable.

So you sped through the check-in process as much as you physically could. He didn't tell you to rush, but you were excited anyway and now you had a second excuse to move faster. 

You hauled your stuff up to your room, shoving your bags to the side and quickly changing clothes. Then, you shoved your sign, light stick, and travel bag of toiletries into a bag and scurried back outside.

You’d barely requested a ride on the app when you saw the same car pulling back under the hotel’s awning. You grinned and waved at him before climbing into the back.

The arena was much closer than the airport, so you chatted for a bit about your sign and some of your favorite songs, even getting him to listen to “S Class” before he was dropping you off at the curb.

“I probably won’t be working when you’re done with the show, but I hope you have a great time!” He said as you opened the door to step out. He waved at you and you smiled, waving back. “Nice to meet you!”

“You too!” you shouted back before excitedly going over to join the small group waiting near the entrance.

You had about an hour until they were going to start giving out barricade bracelets, so you just chatted with your fellow Stays asking about biases and favorite songs.

As the crowd grew, you actually had someone recognize you and excitedly asked to take a photo. They were super sweet and it was fun to talk to them for a while.

By the time bracelets were finally passed out and people started to be let inside, you were itching to see your boys. You kept wanting to text them, or even just snap a picture for your story, but you didn't want to ruin the surprise.

It was so close to time, you could hold out a little longer. 

Despite not being in the first 50 to enter, you still got a spot at the barricade. Staring at your hand on the metal, you decided to be cheeky and snap a photo to send in the group chat.

The barricade could be anywhere, right?

Group chat name: My League of Boys 

Y/N: [img.png]

Y/N: let the weekend fun begin!

Mine(ho): YAH you’re going to a concert this weekend but not OURS?

Y/N: your guys’ is a plane trip away )):

Y/N: you know I want to )))):

You giggled to yourself as you sent the text.

Binned Man: ooh barricade!! Hope you have fun bun <3

No HANd Outs: who are you going to see???

Y/N: i’ll send vids later to show you <33 

SUNG-min: 🤨🤨 is it another kpop group?

Y/N: 🤭🤭🤭 who’s to say

Sunny Boy: 😦😦

In-n-Out: just say you hate us ):< 

Y/N: never, because my momma didn’t raise a liar

Princey: send us a fit check and maybe you’ll be forgiven~

You debated this for a moment, opening your phone to see if you could get a picture without showing off the crowd too much. It’d be a dead giveaway.

Before you could find a good angle, though, your phone buzzed again.

Chansome: i hope you guys have a good time <33 text us when you get back to your hotel safely tonight!

Mine(ho): you’re such a pushover Chan-ah

Y/N: hehe will do Channie <333

Y/N: best of luck at your show tonight! Miss you guys ):

You decided to just ignore Hyunjin’s text, grinning to yourself as you pocketed your phone once more.

Sound check was in 20 minutes, anyways.

You once again passed the time by chatting with the people around you. Two of them were ones you’d chatted with in line earlier. You fished out some of the photocards you’d brought along for trading from your bag and even managed to get a PC off your wishlist through a trade.

Then, you heard a familiar voice come over the speakers. The crowd immediately got excited as the boys began to walk out onto the stage.

They waved at the crowd, standing in a line as they waited a moment for the crowd to settle down.

“Hello!” Chan greeted. “We’re so excited to be here tonight. Welcome to our soundcheck rehearsal, where you guys will be able to see us check our sound systems and everything.” 

The crowd cheered again and the boys laughed.

“Any requests for a song?” Chan asked. Various voice shouted out and you decided to join them.

“MIROH!” You screamed, cupping your hands around your mouth.

Despite being on one of the end of the stage’s wings, and thenceforth not being very close to your boys currently, you swore you saw a few of them look around in confusion when they heard your voice.

“Yeah alright, let’s do Miroh,” Chan agreed, also vaguely glancing in your direction though clearly trying to hide it.

The intro kicked on and the boys slowly started making their way down the stage, spreading out to better interact with the crowd between moments of singing their parts. Jisung and Changbin were making their way down your part of the Y stage. 

It was so fun to watch your boys in their element. While this wasn't their full stage presence yet, you could still see the excitement in their eyes as they interacted with Stays, throwing heart hands and reading signs. 

You liked watching livestreams and videos of their shows for the ones you couldn’t make. It was fun to text them after the show, already knowing what had happened so you could share in the fun and excitement together. 

The last time you'd come in person, the boys obviously knew about it. They played it cool the whole concert, not making it overly obvious that they knew you.

This time, they didn’t have time to mentally prepare.

It was easy to see the moment Jisung spotted you. 

His eyes met yours as he was scanning the crowd. At first, he looked past you, but his eyes suddenly widened as his brain caught up to what he’d seen. You were already grinning as his head whipped back to stare at you again, mouth opening in shock.

Changbin was interacting with the other side of the stage, so he hadn’t seen Jisung’s reaction. A few people around you got excited at having Jisung’s attention on your section. You winked at him as he came back to himself, blinking a few times before hurriedly looking away.

His part came up in the song and he shuffled over to Changbin, not-so subtly elbowing him. Changbin glanced at him, squinting his eyes in confusion when Jisung gestured towards your section with a quick jerk of his head. Changbin glanced over, eyes scanning the crowd before they suddenly snapped onto you.

You gave a small wave. Unlike Jisung, Changbin had better control over his face. His eyes crinkled just slightly, an excitedly fond look crossing his gaze. He didn’t stare for long, just winking at you before refocusing on his crowd work. 

By the time they were done with sound check, having performed another full song and chatted with the crowd a bit, you could tell the news of your presence had been passed around the group. The boys had all glanced your way at some point, a few even coming down your side of the stage. Some of them were less obvious than others in their staring, but you could still tell.

They finally waved goodbye to the audience, telling them they’d be back later. Some of the audience began to disperse, heading back to their hotel for the downtime before the show, while others hung around and kept chatting.

Your phone instantly started going off in your pocket.

Group chat name: My League of Boys

No HANd Outs: YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine(ho): should’ve known girls weekend was a lie. you never go out.

Binnie Man: BUNNY!!!!

Princey: i’m still salty you didn’t send a fit check, this is NOT an excuse smh

SUNG-min: hmm guess this kpop group is acceptable

Chansome: Do you want to come backstage doll? We can send someone out to get you.

No HANd Outs: she doesn’t get a choice!! I already sent someone out.

Sure enough, before you could even reply, you noticed a staff member walking over. When you made eye contact with them, they nodded. You smiled, waiting for them to move the barricade in order for you to step through.

You could already hear the reactions of some of the fans around you, but you weren’t worried about it right now. They could assume what they wanted.

You just wanted to finally see your boys.

You had to resist the urge to run as you followed the staff member backstage. The walk felt longer than you knew it actually was, but finally you made it around the corner, ducking behind the stage. 

Instantly you were greeted by an excited scream and someone throwing their arms around you. You barely had time to react, laughing as you were snuggled within an inch of your life.

“Y/N-ah,” Jisung whined into your ear.

You giggled and patted his back as you saw the other boys finally make it to you. “Hi Sungie.” 

Felix and Changbin quickly joined the cuddle circle, causing you to be surrounded from all sides. “Hi boys,” you greeted the rest, still grinning. 

“You almost gave me a heart attack on stage,” Changbin complained as he squeezed you tight.

“That is the goal of a surprise,” you teased. 

“Girl's weekend, huh?” Minho asked, arms crossed with a fond smirk on his face.

“Hey! I'm a girl and I'm having a nice weekend,” you countered, sticking your tongue out at him. 

When Felix and Binnie finally pulled away, Han still firmly glued to your side, the other boys all took their turns giving you hugs. 

Chan kissed the side of your head. “Well, we're very happy to see you.” He leaned back slightly. “You want to come hang out with us while we finish getting ready?”

You glanced at Han and then back at him. “I don't think he's gonna give me a choice.”

“Nope!” Han agreed, all but dragging you along as you headed back to their dressing room. 

You ended up hanging out on the couch as the boys took turns getting dressed and styled. The only time Han let you go was when it was his turn, though he kept his eyes on you the whole time as if daring you to try and leave. 

The instant he was done, he scrambled back over to your side, wrapping around you like an overgrown koala. 

You laughed. “You know I bought tickets to the show-”

“No!” Han cut you off, legs now coming up to further plaster his body to yours.

“I'm definitely gonna lose my barricade spot-”

“No!!” He repeated louder.

“-and I was making some friends-”

“noOOO.”

“-and I totally forgot to ask for them to save my spot so I should really get back-”

“Nooooo!” He whined, throwing his head back dramatically. “You can watch from the wings. We can give you the best seat in the house!”

Minho cleared his throat and Jisung looked at him, licking his lips for a second before glancing back at you, nodding seriously. “Second best seat in the house.”

Minho smirked as Felix tried to cover a laugh. Seungmin snorted and Changbin cackled.

“Would you want to watch from back here?” Chan asked. “We could definitely find you a place.”

You pretended to think about it. “But then I wouldn’t get to be in the splash zone,” you sighed. “And there’s these pretty boys who go out onto the stage and flash their abs and wink at unsuspecting Stay-”

“Oh you’ll be in the splash zone tonight,” Hyunjin mused, making you smirk at him playfully.

“We can always bring the water guns to you,” Seungmin suggested.

“I don’t knowww…” you drawled.

“You know…” Felix purred, draping himself over you, “if you’re back here, you get the benefit of being able to touch said abs.”

“Fine,” you sighed, being so unserious, “I’ll stay back here ONLY if you let me stay back here for your upcoming shows too.”

“Yeah, of course-” Felix agreed excitedly before the words clicked and all of the boys stared at you.

“Are you serious?” Changbin asked, eyes sparkling with hope.

You smiled, a little softer this time. “If you’ll still have me. I brought my streaming set-up with me so I can still do occasional lives from hotel rooms. If you think that’ll work-”

“YES!” Han screeched, somehow clinging to you tighter, rocking back and forth excitedly.

“Sungie, you’re going to choke her,” Minho chided lightly, putting a hand on the young boy’s shoulder. 

“It’s fine,” you rasped, “this is how I wanna go.”

“We’ll make it happen,” Chan told you seriously, though he was still smiling. “We can work out times for you to stream in the hotel rooms. I’ll talk with our manager to get you a better copy of our schedule.”

You beamed. “Thank you.”

He smiled wider, leaning down to kiss your cheek. “Anything to get you to stay with us.”

“What made you change your mind?” Jeongin asked.

“I was already missing you guys,” you admitted softly, “and the more I thought about it, the more I knew I could make it work out. That any stress or road bumps would be more than worth being around you guys.”

Changbin, Hyunjin, and Felix instantly cooed at you, while Seungmin made fake gagging sounds. You stuck your tongue out at him as the others snuggled into you. “Don’t act like you aren’t sappy, too, Seung. I was there on the day we agreed to this relationship.”

“Aish, you have no proof,” he grumbled playfully, but his reddened cheeks gave him away.

“Actually, if you check our Discord logs-” Felix started, but was cut off when Seungmin tackled him onto the couch.

“HEY, don’t ruin your outfits, we go on in 30 minutes,” Chan scolded, pulling Seungmin off of Felix by the back of his shirt. 

“Speaking of going on,” you started, “is there actually a place where I can see the show? If not, really, I bought a spot-”

“NO!” Jisung shouted, instantly cutting you off again.

Minho snorted. “Yes, jagi, we can find you a spot.” He stepped forward, bringing a hand down to cup your chin and tilt your head up towards him. His thumb brushed across your lower lip. “You’d be too much of a distraction if you were in the audience.”

You flushed, but tried to stay composed. “I’ve watched your show before and you guys were fine then.”

“Yeah, but we’d already seen you the day before and all day leading up to the show,” Changbin countered.

“We haven’t had enough time to get our hands on you yet,” Jeongin smirked. “We don’t want you out of reach.”

You licked your lips slowly, chin still being held by Minho as you glanced between him and Jeongin. “So… 30 minutes, huh-”

“No ruining your make-up either!”

[Video ID: Jisung’s double take when looking at Reader is caught on camera. The shot zooms in on him for a moment before panning to look where he’s looking. It then cuts to him elbowing Changbin, though the angle barely shows it, and Changbin glancing in that direction to.

Footage cuts once more to show a staff member opening the barricade and Reader stepping through, following them away from the person holding the phone.]
