◟ 𝄞 .. ⠀LET ME LOVE YOU lara raj x reader
♱✮ dating your group member was never the smartest idea but did lara care? absolutely not. not when said member was completely irresistible. and for a while, it worked. a whole year of late night talks, stolen glances, and secret moments, all going perfectly… until egos got in the way and everything fell apart.
lara told herself ending things was the right call. she had bigger things to focus on, anyway. love could wait.
but then she realized her “irresistible” ex wasn’t just irresistible to her… and that didn’t sit right with her.

00. YN’S PROFILE + LARA & YN’S RELATIONSHIP
#✮! . . . group! - katseye (since 2023; ranked 4th in dream academy )
#✮! . . . her birthday ! - 00.00.2005
#✮! . . . relationship status ! - single.. ( kinda )
#✮! . . . family ! -her mother, her father, younger brother | exclusive mention, cousin- rihanna (for the plot yall)
#✮! . . . her background ! - yn was one of the scouted trainees, and honestly, she had zero idea what she was getting into when she got that dm. she was bored, so she figured, why not? most of the time before the survival show started, she kept to herself except for manon. they clicked pretty fast, mostly because they were both equally clueless about what they’d just signed up for. plus, they’d actually followed each other on social media before all this, which made things less awkward. because they already followed each other manon was also the only one who knew who yn was related to. once dream academy officially started and word got around that yn was the rihanna’s cousin… yeah, you can imagine how that went. her votes skyrocketed overnight. and it wasn’t like yn wasn’t talented she was easily one of the best dancers and singers there, but when you’re related to one of the biggest names in music, people are bound to fixate on that. yn didn’t really care though. she wasn’t trying to fight it, it was helping her chance of debut who wouldn’t want that? but some people definitely had a problem with it. every post about her was flooded with “nepo baby” comments, and there were even calls for her to be removed from the show because of her so called “privilege.” guess who still ranked 4th tho!
#✮! . . . her personality ! - yn is too unserious, she can’t take nothing serious (unless it’s music), can be way to nonchalant at times (it drives lara crazy), such a social butterfly like she has way too many friends in the industry (which is such a contrast to how she was during their training period) , very VERY chronically online, she gets bored so easily that weverse is her source of entertainment she SPAMS her weverse dms ( eyekons are so tired of her )
#✮! . . . her social media !
◟ 𝄞 .. ⠀ LARA & YN’S RELATIONSHIP
#✮! . . . started ! - february 14th 2024
#✮! . . . ended ! - june 1st 2025
#✮! . . . how it started! -lara had always found yn cute interesting, even. they shared the same kind of energy, that quiet confidence that made people a little nervous around them. the only difference was, while yn mostly kept to herself and only ever talked to manon, lara actually made the effort to get to know everyone. still, if there was one person she really wanted to figure out, it was yn. you could say she’d been plotting on her from the start. when the survival show kicked off, the sudden shift from training to being on camera threw everyone off. lara didn’t waste a second, she used it as an excuse to have a “talk” with yn about how crazy everything was. from that day on, she made it her mission to get closer to her. little things, small conversations, shared breaks, quiet encouragements lara chased yn for months, and eventually, her persistence paid off. they finally got together on valentine’s day a couple months after the lineup for katseye got announced.
#✮! . . . how it ended! - it’s funny how the ones that chase you are always the reason for the end of the relationship. yn and lara were doing good like, really good. once the sis era started, it felt like their relationship had only gotten stronger. yn was definitely rising in popularity, especially with western audiences (not quite there yet, but close), which made sense considering who her cousin was. lara couldn’t have been prouder. and same for yn she was so proud watching lara push through all the hate and criticism. but all good things have to end. 2025, gnarly suddenly, all eyes were on katseye, and that meant the whole world now knew who yn really was. it’s crazy how being connected to just one person can open doors you never even asked to walk through. yn didn’t seek it out, but somehow, she became bigger than the program itself. the popularity was overwhelming, separate brand deals, higher profile celebrities acknowledging her, a fandom just for her. the other girls understood. they didn’t let it bother them because the group was thriving, if one member got extra attention, that only meant more eyes on all of them. but if only her girlfriend could’ve seen it that way. lara should’ve been proud and she was, at first but insecurities are a wicked thing. she couldn’t stop wondering, why yn? why was she the breakout member? was it really just because of who she was related to? it felt unfair, and those thoughts started eating her alive. eventually, it became too much. she told herself she needed to focus on herself, to grow individually, to reach the level yn was at or maybe even surpass it. yeah, it’s a horrible thing to think about wanting to beat your own girlfriend in popularity. who does that? she does. so she did the only thing she could do, end it.
