i dont know if youβre taking requests right now BUTTT i wanted to request a cortis x member male reader where mreader is really the opposite of what the groups image is. dresses androgynously , likes pastels , listens to cute music etc.
Author's note 1-2: This was so fun to write. Work kinda got in the way a little bit, but i got it finished (also, when y'all get down to juhoon's part, the link is only on the sweater because the whole outfit was already together, oki?)
Pairing: CORTIS (James, Juhoon, Martin, Seonghyeon, Keonho) x male reader
Synopsis: Moments with Cortis as their sixth, pretty boy member
CORTIS had an image. Messy streetwear, self made fashion, I was at a thrift store thirty minutes ago and still havenβt washed the clothes yet. You also had an image. Pretty colours, cute fashion, I spent an hour on my makeup and hair to make sure it laid right. Also look, pink! No one in their right mind thought that one of HYBEβs resident femboys would debut in CORTIS. CORTIS! The boy group that looks like they dumpster dive for their clothesβ¦ and someone who looked like they deserved to be among the ranks of XLOV? Make it make sense. And quickly. When you debuted with CORTIS, that mightβve been the only time anyone had ever seen you wear something considered traditionally βmasculine.β There were mixed reactions obviously, how could there not be? Some people didnβt see the point of adding βsomeone like youβ into CORTIS. Other people praised you for being able to pul off both looks, while some mourned the loss of your pastel outfits. There were a group of people that were basically calling for you to leave the second you were revealed, while others just wanted to see how this would play out.
You never really paid attention to everything online. You wore what you wanted to wear, did what you wanted to do, and you looked good doing it. Not your fault you were pretty. You werenβt exactly sure why Big Hit decided to put you here, you were an odd one out compared to the rest of the boys, but you werenβt exactly going to complain. The rest of CORTIS didnβt exactly know how toβ¦ handle you at first? They were surprised just as much as you when they heard youβd be joining them. You didnβt exactly fit their vibe to say the least. But everyone had their own way of getting used to it. Essentially meaning at some point in time, each member had seen you dressed the way you were and they had to reboot their system. James saw you in some makeup and a crop top and walked into a wall because suddenly his brain said βoh thatβs prettyβ and he didnβt know what to do with himself. Martin saw you walk out the dorms in full pastel and stood still in the hallway trying to figure out what entity of colour just walked past him. Juhoon kinda just ignored it. Sometimes heβd even suggest an outfit to you if he was feeling up to it, giving you an opinion when you asked, but other than that, he was just chill. Seonghyeon, and Keonho always had to take a double take. Like, werenβt you just in masculine clothes? They swear you were just in like, a plain ass t-shit and jeans, when did you change?
And thatβs the thing, you probably were just in whatever concept outfit Big Hit threw at you, but the moment you didnβt have to wear it anymore, youβd be out of it in a flash. You didnβt wear your usual clothes when it came to photoshoots or award ceremonies, you were in a group and that group had an image to uphold, but in your free time? Thatβs when you wore whatever you usually wore. You could rock a laidback thrift look, and then turn around and wear cute clothes, do your makeup, and wear cute accessories. If you ever went out with one of the other boys, maybe to get food or go shopping, youβre wearing something cute. Cropped jacket, tank top, jeans with stars on them, a little light makeup, and a small handbag was the perfect outfit for a lazy day. There was no possible way for CORTIS to go undiscovered if you were with them. If CORTIS did a live, youβd unashamedly walk in wearing something considered feminine. Youβd do your own lives, talking to COER and doing your makeup before going out for the day. Like right now
βWhereβs James-hyung? I donβt exactly know, he said he was leaving, but that was like, an hour agoβ you applied some eyeshadow on your eye while talking to your chat
βOh chat, fit checkβ you stood up to reveal your outfit.
PastelΒ orangeΒ cargoΒ pants, a pair of AirΒ ForceΒ One, an orangeΒ andΒ whiteΒ shirt, and a couple of silver rings in the shape of stars.
You looked great honestly, no matter what the reaction was
βDo we fuck with the fit? Juhoon suggested the ringsβ
βY/N, have you seen-oh, shit okay, fitβs tight, we love it, divaβ
βAnd Martin has entered the chatβ you muttered, letting out a tired sigh
βHi COER! Whatβre we doing today?β
βWe were peaceful until you came into my room, do you need something?β
βNo, I just wanted to see what you were doingβ
βLucky meβ you muttered and went back to your makeup
βWhatβs that?β Martin pointed to your eyeshadow
βEyeshadowβ
βAnd that?β
βTonerβ
βWhat about that?β
βPrimerβ
βThatβs blush, thatβs bronzer, thatβs lip liner, thatβs setting spray, thatβs lip gloss, any other questions?β You said, pointing to each product before he could ask
βNope, Iβm chillinβ, weβre goodβ
βUh-huhβ
βItβs so quiet in hereβ
βThat was the pointβ
βCan I play music?β
βSureβ
βWhat do you want to listen to, weβve got A$AP, weβve got Lil Uzi, Frank Oceanβ
βWhat about Harry Styles? Or Clairo?β
βHa-Harry Sty- Clairo?!β
βYes?β
βWhy?β
βI like Harry Stylesβ
βYou heard A$AP Rocky and thought βnah, I want Harry Styles and Clairo?!ββ
βYou donβt have to stayβ
βI am aware, but I donβt want to listen to A$AP right nowβ
βB-But- BRO?β
Lmao,Β notΒ A$APΒ beingΒ turnedΒ downΒ forΒ HarryΒ Styles
LmaoΒ notΒ MartinΒ havingΒ aΒ breakdownΒ beingΒ toldΒ heΒ canβtΒ playΒ A$APNotΒ ourΒ residentΒ divaΒ sayingΒ no
MartinβsΒ goingΒ toΒ kickΒ youΒ outΒ fromΒ theΒ groupΒ Y/N
βAre you going to kick me out from the group Martin?β
βI might actuallyβ Martin said with a grumble, putting on a random Clairo song
βYouβre so boring broβ
βYou can leaveβ you repeated yourself from earlier
βIβm gonna stay, Iβm just going to hate itβ
βUh-huhβ you said, putting on your eyeliner on, carefully applying just a little on your waterline, finishing your look for the day. Martin watched you with a grimace
βThat doesnβt hurt?β
βNo, not anymoreβ
βHuhβ¦ okayβ
βYou keep looking at it, is there something you want to ask?β
βNoβ¦.β
βMmhmβ
ββ¦.Can you do mine?β
βYour eyeliner?β
βYahβ¦β
βCome here, and donβt moveβ
Ahhhh,Β MartinΒ gettingΒ hisΒ eyelinerΒ doneee
Stop,Β heβsΒ goingΒ toΒ lookΒ soΒ good
IΒ needΒ ALLΒ ofΒ theΒ membersΒ inΒ eyelinerΒ nowΒ Y/N,Β makeΒ itΒ happen
βHeβs going to look fire chat, trustβ you said and grabbed Martinβs face
βAck, Jesusβ
βHold still Edwardsβ
βFine, jeezβ Martin muttered and then immediately flinched
βMartin!β
βItβs cold!β
βItβll warm up, sit. still.β
βFineβ Martin rolled his eyes and you huffed at his attitude. After a very long twenty minutes of you struggling to get Martin to stop squirming, you managed to give him a somewhat decent looking eye look. It was just some small wings, but you were proud of what you were able to do
βSooo, what do you think?β
βYo, bro this is fireβ
βI knowβ you said confidently with a smirk
Formal request to put Martin in eyeliner from now on
HOLYΒ SHITΒ HELLO
MARTINΒ YOUΒ LOOKΒ FIRE
NeverΒ takeΒ itΒ offΒ Martin,Β NEVER
βIβm going to go show Keonhoβ
βHave funβ you waved at Martin while he ran out your room
βOkay chat, Iβm ready, so Iβm going to head off live and go walk around outside like a normal person, byeeeeβ you turned off the live with a wave, grabbed your bag for the day, and walked out your room
βNo, because bro, look at it, I look fireβ
βItβs alrightβ
βI want to see you do better Keonho, because this looks awesomeβ
βStop arguing like childrenβ
βWe are children!β Both boys yelled back at you
βDonβt burn the dorm down, Iβm heading ou- oh look who came back. James is home!β
βJames! Come look at this bro!β Martin said, grabbing Jamesβ arm. You shook your head with a smile and walked out the dorm
James was doing a late night live, and you decided to join him. He was just talking to his chat when you came into the frame. Your hair fell into frame and COER started spamming your name in the chat. You sat down next to James and waved at the camera
βHi guys, Iβm here to bug James-hyung before I go to bedβ
βHow funβ
βYou love meβ
βDebatableβ
βRudeβ you shoved his arm and he broke out into a smile, shoving you back
Y/N fit check for the night
FIT CHECKKK
Yessss, do ittttt
FIT CHECK! FIT CHECK! FIT CHECK!
βYβall, I am literally just wearing a sweater and some pants, chill. Itβs bedtime, Iβm not wearing anything extravagant. Anyways, whatβre we doing in here?β
βJust talkingβ
βI see, I see. Oooh, we should do a Q and A!β
βThis late?β
βYes, this late, it would be fun. Weβll just have to try and answer questions as fast as we canβ
βFine, I guess itβs not a horrible ideaβ
βYay! Okay chat, send your questions in, James just said yes to one of my ideas, he rarely ever does thatβ
βDonβt make me regret itβ
βAlready in the process of thatβ you said with a grin while reading a question on the screen
βOh godβ¦β
βHush, itβs okay, this is a good one. Someone asked what your first impression of me wasβ
βWell, to be fair, you were decked out head to toe in purple, and I thought you were a part of staffβ
βStaff? With his fabulous I am? You wound me Jamesβ
βI didnβt know who you were supposed to be, but I especially didnβt think itβd be with usβ
βAnyways, moving onβ you muttered, rolling your eyes and muttering about βstaffβ until you found another question you liked. βWhat do you think of me being in CORTIS?β
βI love it. Youβre talented, fashionable, you take care of all of us when you need to-β
βHeβs talking about a fire that happened last weekβ
βI was not talking about the fire! And it was smallβ
βAnyways, continueβ
βAs I was saying,β James said aggressively, βyou take care of us when you need to, you listen to us when we need to lay off some steam, you give good advice. You take forever to get dressed, but youβre still extremely important to us, and to meβ
βHeβs so sweet guys. Although honestly heβs probably just buttering me up so I take him shopping tomorrowβ
βI donβt need your help shoppingβ
βOh, okay, because the last three times we went was just because you didnβt want to be alone and not because you wanted me to judge all your outfits?β
βPreciselyβ
βDo yβall see this? Heβs just out here lyingβ You said, turning to the camera. James scoffed and pushed you out of frame
βIβm finding a question now. Oh, has Y/N ever been mistaken for- huh? What? Say what now?β
βIs it really that bad or are you just dramatic?β You asked while giving James a side-eye
βThey asked if youβve ever been mistaken for a girl beforeβ
βYes, I have actually. Multiple times. Some old lady thought I was Jamesβ girlfriend like, a week agoβ
βHEY! We donβt need to tell that story!β James said embarrassed and you just brushed him off
TellΒ theΒ storyyyyyy
StorytimeΒ withΒ Y/NNNN
ThatΒ isΒ soΒ weirdΒ bro,Β what
ThereβsΒ noΒ wayΒ thatΒ happenedΒ IβmΒ ctfu π
βNo, seriously chat, it happened. Me and James were at the mall, and I dragged him into a store, and some old lady there was shopping for her granddaughter. Me and James were bickering about outfits, and she stopped us to say βYou listen to your girlfriend now young man, sheβs very pretty, you wouldnβt want to make her angryβ and James was so shocked he couldnβt even say anything, so I just nodded and dragged him to the next section of the storeβ Jamesβ head was in his hands and you were cackling
βJames, it wasnβt that badβ
βMy entire life crumbled in that one momentβ
βShe was like, eighty years old, youβre fineβ
βIt was embarrassing!β
βAnd you do things that embarrass me all the time, you donβt see me acting a fool, do you?β
βI do not embarrass youβ James said with offence. You gave him the most confused look you could muster, because what do you mean βIβve never embarrassed you.β Sir? Thatβs a blatant lie and you know it
βOkay, so what about last week at the ramen shop? And that boba place yesterday? Oh, and letβs not forget when you embarrassed me in front of our lovely staff workers a couple days ago, huh? Letβs go back a few weeks ago when you five managed to again set another fire off in the building and called me for help, screaming like a madman over a fire the size of tiny Calcifer, when youβre the oldest and supposed to be the most mature?β
βYβknow what? Go the fuck to bed, itβs late, no one wants to see you anywaysβ
βDo you see the mistreatment I get around here guyβs? Itβs immoralβ you scoffed, but waved bye at the cameras anyways. It was late, and you should probably get to sleep.Β
βHeβs is right though, I need to go to sleep. Iβve been up for a concerning amount of hours and need to go lay down and pretend to restβ
βExactly, so say bye chat, heβs leavingβ
βBye chat, yβall make sure to get some sleep too! And eat and drink water! Nightβ You said while waving goodnight to them, and James gave you a hug goodnight
βGet some sleep soon hyung, itβs lateβ
βI willβ James sat back down to continue the live, but he shot the camera an annoyed look
βHow dare you expose me like thatβ James muttered to himself, but he was trying to hide a smile. He loved you, even if you were kind of annoying at times
βY/N-hyung?β Juhoon walked into your room. You were laying on your bed, listening to music and just scrolling on your phone. When you heard your name, you looked up from your phone
βDo you want to go shopping?β
βShopping?β
βYeah, shoppingβ
βYou want to go shopping? With me?β You said, making sure you heard him right
βYesβ he said with a nod and you gave him a confused look
βWhy?β
βBecause you have fashion senseβ
βYβknow what, sure, let me get readyβ
βYouβre not ready right now?β
βIβm in loungewearβ
βThatβs loungewear?β
βItβs a hoodie and pants, yes, this is loungewearβ
βOut, Iβm getting dressedβ
βDonβt take foreverβ
βOutβ
When you got out of your room, you were wearing a pinkΒ sweater, jeanΒ cargoΒ pants with rips in them, a whiteΒ bagΒ withΒ pinkΒ lettering, a keychain was clipped to your pants, and you had a peachΒ hairΒ clip in the back of your head
βAll of this to go shopping?β
βYesβ
βYouβre like, serious about this, wowβ
βWhy wouldnβt I be? Letβs go!β You grabbed your phone, and shut the door to your room.
βWhere are you two going?β James asked, looking up from his phone
βShoppingβ Juhoon said and you nodded
βBe carefulβ
βWe willβ you said and gave James a nod before you two walked out
βSo, where were you trying to go?β You asked
βJust wherever, I was boredβ Juhoon said with a shrug and you hummed
βWhat about that mall a few blocks awayβ
βSureβ
You two walked to the mall, getting hit by way too many people
βUgh, I remember why I donβt go to the mall on the weekendsβ
βThis was a bad ideaβ
βYou agreed to it!β
βYou suggested it!β
βYou shouldβve said something then!β You shot back. You two argued back and forth while continuing to walk further into the mall.
βOkay, we need a planβ you said while side-eyeing everyone in the mall. Why were there so many people here. Go home.
βI say we just travel from the front to the back and spend as little money as possibleβ Juhoon said and you nodded
βLowkey, perfect plan, letβs goβ you grabbed his arm and dragged him into a thrift store
βOkay, we need a planβ you said while side-eyeing everyone in the mall. Why were there so many people here. Go home.
βI say we just travel from the front to the back and spend as little money as possibleβ Juhoon said and you nodded
βLowkey, perfect plan, letβs goβ you grabbed his arm and dragged him into a clothing store
βI do not want to be hereβ
βYouβll drag me to whatever little shop you want to go to next anyways, hush and come hold this for meβ you said, practically throwing a pair of pants in his direction. Juhoon caught it with a sigh, but didn't argue. He didn't argue the entire time you were in that store actually. He carried everything you handed him, only throwing it on the counter, with an apology, when it got too heavy. He also gave you advice and opinions.
βDoes this look good together?β
βTogether? No, but I think if you switch these shorts with the pants, and take the hat away, it rocksβ
βThis is why I always ask you about clothes, youβre a geniusβ
βI know, I know, I donβt want to brag, but I knowβ Juhoon said with a small smirk on his face, proud of his small accomplishment
By the time you were done shopping in your store, you came out with three outfits. A CinnamorollΒ outfit, a strawberryΒ outfit, and a blue outfi. They were all so adorable, and at an affordable price. Something you loved about thrift stores, no matter where they were. After you paid, stuffing everything you got into bags, you let Juhoon drag you to a different store, letting him pick out whatever he wanted. You, being the older one, of course paid for all of his things as well.
Well, most of his things at least. You didnβt see Juhoon sneak a plushie past you. He wanted to give you a gift. He knew it didnβt necessarily match your pinks and purples, but he knew you liked the character, and was surprised he found one just lying around near the back. He was going to give it to you in the dorm, he just had to sneak it into the bags of clothes to hide it first is all, because hiding this behind his back was not going to work. And to do that, you had to stop being so darn helpful and let him carry his own bags
βY/N-hyung, I can carry my bags, itβs okayβ
βItβs fine Juhoon, I can carry themβ
βBut I want to carry my bagsβ
βBut Iβm older, so Iβll carry themβ
βBut I really want to carry my stuff, you have your own bags to worry aboutβ
βYouβre being suspicious Juhoonβ
βNo Iβm not, youβre just being stubborn. Oh look, food courtβ
βThe wya your mind can just shift to food amazes me. What do you want to eat then?β
βAnything, you know what I like. And while youβre gone, I can take all of those to our tableβ
βItβs fine, iβll take them to the tableβ Oh my god bro, why couldnβt you just let him do something for once? Nonetheless, you dropped the bags off at a table, letting Juhoon sneak his gift into the bags, acting like everything was normal. Youβd be so surprised. And heβd be your favourite for sure, the rest of CORTIS would have nothing on him
βOkay, I got you a spicy ramen bowl, with like, everything they had to offer, so I hope youβre hungryβ
βWhatβd you get?β
βJust some pork bao bunsβ
βThose look goodβ
βI know, they are goodβ you said biting into one, the scent of pork wafting out of the steaming hot bun
βI want on-β
βI know, thatβs why I bought some for you too, now donβt bother me again and eatβ
βOh.. okay. Thank youβ
βMhmβ you hummed and Juhoon smirked into his food. He was definitely your favourite. You two shopped around a bit more, Juhoon finding a few more items for his closet, while you found six more
jewelry pieces to add to your collection. You found not, one, not two, but three rings, and also three different necklaces.
Overall, a very good trip indeed. The walk back to the dorms was filled with laughter, you almost dropping your clothes, and Juhoon tripping over his shoelaces you *told* him to tie before you left the mall. When you two walked back into the dorms, James was waiting by the door
βThree hours and not a single text?β
βI kept him safe, no one died, I fed him, bought him clothes, and walked him home, what more do you want from me? We were busyβ
βA text that says youβre fine maybe?β James said. He wasnβt angry, he just didnβt think you two would be gone for three hours. What if something happened? What if you got mobbed by fans? What if-
βAnd you would have read it?β
βThatβs irrelevantβ
βUh-huh, I will be washing all of these now, thank youβ you said and went to the laundry room. When you were gone, Juhoon pulled out the plushie he bought you
βIsnβt this adorable guys?β
βIs that for you?β
βNo! Itβs for Y/N! I thought he would like itβ
βItβs cute, heβll love itβ James said and everyone nodded
βGood, I thought so too, Iβm going to put it on his bedβ Juhoon ran off to your room, sneaking the plushie on your bed before running off to his own room. He almost thought you ignored the plush all together, because you hadnβt said anything yet. You even left the dorm again without saying anything to him. Did you not like it? He got his answer later that night when he went to his room. All of his favourite snacks were piled on his bed, and there was a small note
βToΒ Juhoon,Β thankΒ youΒ forΒ thinkingΒ ofΒ me,Β IΒ hopeΒ thisΒ isΒ sufficientΒ asΒ a thankΒ youβ
Yeah, he was totally the favourite.
Keonho wanted to talk to you. He had so many questions to ask, but honestly, he just had one big one. βWhy were you here?β You didnβt look like you belonged here. You didnβt like the same music as them, didnβt dress the same as them, act the same as them. You looked like you belonged in a girl group if he was being completely honest. So why CORTIS? Why of all groups, did you decide, yeah, sure, Iβll join them? You had nothing in common with them, so what was the point?
He walked into the kitchen to find you cooking. You were humming and stirring something in a pot
βWhatβre you making?β
βOh, shit you scared me! Iβm making soup, so that you all have real food to survive off of instead of snacksβ
βWe can survive just fine off of snacksβ
βWell then I guess Iβll just keep it all to myself thenβ you said while cocking an eyebrow. You started ladling the soup into separate containers, one with each of their names on it, and Keonhoβs eyes widened. Okay, so maybe it looked amazing
βActually, I take it back, weβll die, that looks deliciousβ
βThatβs what I thoughtβ
βCan I have some now?β
βSure, go sit downβ you ladled some into a bowl for him and handed him how bowl. You served yourself some and sat across from him
βThis seat taken?β
βThat was so corny, go sit in the cornerβ
βIβd rather notβ you said with a laugh. Keonho shook his head and took a sip of his meal
βYou actually can never decide to leave us, Iβll die without you, this sis amazingβ
βYouβre so dramaticβ
βI said what I saidβ
βUh-huhβ you two sat in comfortable silence until Keonho asked a question
βWhat made you want to join us?β
βHmm?β
βCORTIS, what made you want to join it? You look like youβd be better in some other group, but youβve fit right in with us. I just want to know why you wanted to joinβ
βWellβ¦ I think itβs because you guys feel like homeβ
βReally?β
βYeah. I didnβt get it at first either, but talking with you guys, getting to know you, being around you guys for weeks, it made me want to take the plunge and join. I know I donβt particularly look like I belong here, but I feel like I do, and thatβs enough for meβ Keonho sat with what you said for a while, eating in silence, carefully choosing his next words
βWould you leave if a better opportunity came up? A place where you could like, look more like yourself besides just during your free time?β
βNoβ you said quickly, surprising him
βNo? How come?β
βI already told you. You guys are like a family. I donβt have siblings, and now I get to take care of four other people and treat them like theyβre my own family. I get to grow up with yβall by my side. I get to be around people that donβt judge me and actually take the time to defend me and choose me for me. I wouldnβt trade that for anything. You guys are like, my happy place, Iβm not going to trade my happy place just to go wear pink in a promotional picture.β Keonho had stopped eating by now and was just listening to you talk. He didnβt know you felt like that. Honestly, he thought that youβd want to leave win a blink of an eye, but hearing you say they all made you happy? That did something to him. It made him realise just how much he actually meant to you, and it made him happyβ
βI wouldnβt want to trade you either Y/Nβ
βGood, because Iβm not going anywhere. Now hurry up and eat, then we can go get dessertβ
βOoooh! Ice creamβ
βI was thinking, like, cheesecake, but ice cream is good tooβ
βOr bothβ
βYouβre going to die of an early ageβ you said while shaking your head. But you couldnβt be too upset, youβd probably pick both too if you werenβt so headset on getting cheesecake.Β
And you did get that cake, and that ice cream. And Keonho watched you eat it with a smile on his face the entire time. You thought of them like family. Like your own. You wouldnβt replace them. You had a bond with them that couldnβt be replaced, broken, or forgotten just because you βdidnβt fit in.β You were his brother, and nothing would change that
βHeyβ Seonghyeon said, walking past you
βHeyβ you echoed, not looking up from your phone. You and Seonghyeon hadnβt really had a full conversation yet. In all the time youβve spent around each other, youβve never really had a one on one together. You donβt exactly know why though. You try to reach out, but he doesnβt seem interested
βCan I ask you a questionβ you asked, and put down your phone and look up at him
βWhatβs up?β
βDid I do something wrong?β Thatβs not exactly what he was expecting. He gave you a puzzled look
βWhat do you mean?β
βEvery time I try to start up conversation, you always run away from it, why?β
βI donβtβ
βYes you do, Iβve noticed, now spillβ
βDo you actually want the answer?β
βYes, I doβ
βDonβt say itβs stupidβ
βI wonβtβ
I think that youβll think Iβm boringβ
βBoring?β
βYeah, boring. I mean, look at you! Youβre stylish, and funny, and cool. You donβt let people get to you, and youβre always doing things for other people. Did I mention stylish? I just didnβt want you to think I was boring, but I didnβt exactly know how to make myself seem more not boringβ
βWell thatβs stupidβ
βYou said you wouldnβt say that!β
βIβm not talking about your reasoning, Iβm talking about you changing yourself. To talk to me of all people? Why?β
βYouβre just, cool, I guess?β
βSo are you. Seonghyeon, I literally have crippling anxiety, forget to eat sometimes, procrastinate like crazy, am introverted, and I hate the sun. Iβm weird, just how youβre weird in your own special way. Also how youβre cool in your own special way. Youβre talented, you know how to skateboard, youβre funny, you know two styles of martial arts. Thereβs so many cool things about you, nothing I listed is boring. You canβt change yourself for people, youβll lose yourself in the process of trying to make yourself something youβre not. And I like Seonghyeon, not whatever new version youβre trying to make upβ
βYouβre way too good at motivational speakingβ
βThank you, I tryβ
βCan I ask you something now?β
βShootβ
βDo you like it here?β
βMhmβ
βYeah?β
βYep. Yβall make it bearableβ
βEven if we stress you out all the time and make you want to leave?β
βYe- who said I wanted to leave?β
βYou donβt want to leave?β
βWhy? If I was you Iβd leave?β
βWhyβs that, because I βI donβt fit in?ββ
βNo, because you have five other people that test your sanity, run around the dorms, set fire to things that shouldnβt possible be able to catch on fire, pick up after all of our mess, and you do this while still trying to keep yourself together. I donβt think we appreciate you enough honestlyβ You looked about ready to cry and Seonghyeon thought he did something wrong
βWas it something I said?β
βYeah, just.. thanks. I guess I needed to hear thatβ
βI guess I needed to hear what you said tooβ
βTalk to you later?β
βYeahβ Seonghyeon said, walking out the room. Your first real talk together didnβt so bad after allΒ
CORTIS as a whole was doing a live, reading the chat, when Martin saw a comment pop up. An extremely rude comment, how dare this person actually?
Whyβs Y/N even there? Not like he adds anything to the group
βWhyβs Y/N even- Y/Nβs here because heβs kinda importantβ
βHuh?β
βSomeone asked why you were even hereβ
βBecause theyβd set the place on fire if I wasnβtβ
βThatβs a lieβ Keonho said, pointing at you
βNo itβs not and you know itβ You donβt know how many times you have to mentions fires until it sticks in peoples heads, *these boys are dangerous and canβt be left alone*! You love them thoughβ¦ mostly
βPoint is, Y/N is kinda sorta our main vocalist. We need him hereβ Martin read another question and scoffed
ββHe doesnβt match the aesthetic.β And? He still puts in work, just because yβall donβt like him doesnβt mean he doesnβt put in work. He can very well put in work while wearing pastels and cardigans and holding plushiesβ
βI bought that for himβ Juhoon piped up
βYeah, he bought it like, three weeks ago. I love itβ
βItβs very cuteβ James said with a nod
βHeβs not just some βguy that doesnβt fit the aestheticβ, heβs one of usβ Keonho said and you smiled
βIf you have a problem with Y/N, then youβre not a COER. Heβs part of CORTIS, whether you guys like it or not. He, along with *all* of us make up CORTIS. If you canβt understand that, then kindly, the door is that wayβ Martin said, actually pointing to the door behind him.
YouβreΒ beingΒ tooΒ harsh
WeΒ canΒ voiceΒ ourΒ opinions
ThisΒ isΒ soΒ stupid,Β justΒ letΒ Y/NΒ be
LeaveΒ himΒ ALONE,Β likeΒ damn
βWeβre not being harsh, weβre just being honest. If you donβt like it, thatβs not our problemβ Seonghyeon said with a shrug. The chat kept going by at the speed of light, but none of the boys cared. Martin decided to end the live early just because of those comments
βActually guys, weβre going to head off now. Weβve got some things to do, and dealing with negative people isnβt one of them. Goodnight everyone!β When the live ended, Juhoon was the first to initiate the hug. The everyone else piled on top of you. They werenβt even going to let sadness try and get to you
βYou know we donβt care what you wear, right?β Seonghyeon said and you nodded
βYes, but I care about my health, and you all are crushing usβ
βThen tell us, very clearly, that you will never let those people get to your headβ James said, purposefully crushing you harder
βIβll never let them get to my head, now get up, all of you!β The five of them got off of you, bu not without one final squeeze. They loved you, even if sometimes you got on their nerves (and they got on yours), they loved you. And no one would talk bad about you. Ever. CORTIS was six people, not anymore, not any less. It wouldnβt be CORTIS without you, and it was going to stay that way.
Author's note 2-2" It's FINALLY fucking finished, jesus. Keonho and Seonghyeon's parts might be a little shor because i got tired, sorry guys!
