martin x reader
in which you and martin try to keep your relationship a secret, but the members have already known for weeks.
includes; kissing
wc; 1,380
youâre in the practice room after hours, the lights switched to the lowest setting a few hours ago, something along the lines of eye care. the rest of members left a while ago, james complained about dinner, juhoon dragged seonghyeon out with a promise of fried chicken, and keonho was already halfway down the hall with his headphones on. martin stayed behind with the excuse of âfixing the new track,â and you stayed because youâre the one who usually brings him food when the schedule runs late, atleast that's what you told the others.
no one questioned it. that should have been your first clue.
youâre sitting on the floor with your back against the mirrors, legs stretched out, scrolling through comments on a fancam someone posted of their last performance. martin is across the room at the make shift production setup, one earbud in as he hums a melody under his breath. his hair is still damp from practice, pushed back messily with one of the headbands he stole from you. he glances over to you every few minutes.
itâs comfortable, quiet, easy.
âyou hungry?â you ask without looking up from the tiktok edit playing on your phone.
âstarving,â he answers, voice low and a little rough from singing all day. âdid you bring the kimbap?â
you reach into your bag and slide one of the wrapped rolls across the floor. it slides perfectly, stopping right by his foot. he bends down with a small laugh, one that makes your stomach flip.
âthanks, babe.â
the petname slips out naturally. he doesnât even notice he's said it. you do, eyes darting toward the door even though itâs closed and the hallway has been silent for over an hour.
âmartin,â you mutter, half warning, half amused.
âwhat?â he unwraps the kimbap and takes a bite, acting as if him calling you 'babe' is the most normal thing in the world. âno oneâs here.â
âthatâs what you said last week, remember? and then keonho walked in asking if we wanted to split the last ramen packet.â
martin shrugs, that easy smile tugging at his mouth. âkeonhoâs just annoying. doesnât mean he or the others know.â
you give him a midly annoyed look. âseonghyeon literally asked me yesterday if my hoodie was the one you âlostâ.â
âhe was guessing.â
âhe described the exact stain from when you spilled coffee on it two weeks ago.â
martin pauses mid bite, then laughs under his breath, the sound warm and oddly comforting. he sets the kimbap down, stands up and crosses the room in a few long steps, dropping down beside you so his shoulder bumps yours. he smells like the practice room, sweaty, faint cologne, and that weird citrus shampoo they keep buying.
âokay, maybe a couple of them suspect,â he admits, voice quieter now. his hand finds yours, fingers locking together, his thumb brushing over your knuckles. âbut weâre being careful. no couple stuff in front of staff. no pda. no one will find out.â
you raise an eyebrow. âcareful? you mean like the text you sent last night that just said âcome over, the guys are asleep and I miss youâ with three heart emojis?â
he winces. âthey were asleep! it's not like they were next to me looking at my phoneâ
âdon't all the members know your password? any one of them could open your phone and see it.â
martin groans, tilting his head back against the mirror. âwe need better friends.â
âyou need better friends. i just have a boyfriend who thinks heâs slick.â
he turns his head, grinning now, the kind of grin that makes his eyes crinkle and reminds you why you fell for him in the first place. âi am slick. watch.â
he leans in like heâs about to kiss you. your heart does its usual little jump. then the door to the practice room opens without a knock.
juhoon stands there, holding a take out bag that smells suspiciously like the chicken he mentioned earlier. he stares at you for a second, at the way the two of you are sitting way too close, the way your hands still linked, the way martin is halfway leaned in.
juhoon doesnât even blink. âleft my charger. also, thereâs extra chicken if you guys want some. we got the spicy one you like, yn.â
martin straightens so fast he nearly knocks his own head against the mirror. you pull your hand back, cheeks heating up rapidly.
âwe were just...â martin starts.
âtalking about the new track,â you finish, almost too quickly.
juhoon just nods, face deadpan. âsure. the track. thatâs why youâre holding hands and looking at each other like that.â he walks over to the corner where his charger is plugged in, unplugs it, and stuffs it in his pocket. on the way back out he pauses. âyou know we all know, right? since like the first month. seonghyeon made a group chat about it. keonho keeps updating it with pictures of you two.â
martinâs mouth opens, then closes. you feel your face burn hotter, and you're pretty sure you look like a tomato.
juhoon continues. âjames thought it was cute at first. now he just wants you to go public so he can stop pretending he doesnât hear you two on the phone at night.â
âweâre not...â you start.
â...that loud,â martin finishes weakly.
juhoon snorts. âtell that to the thin walls. anyway, chickenâs in the lounge if youâre done.â he waves the bag. âdonât stay too late. curfewâs not a suggestion just because youâre the leader, martin.â
the door clicks shut behind him.
silence stretches for what seems like an eternity. then martin lets out a long breath and drops his head onto your shoulder, half laughing, half groaning.
âshit.â
âyeah,â you say, reaching up to thread your fingers through his hair. âweâre terrible at this.â
âthe worst.â his voice is muffled against your hoodie, his hoodie actually, the one with the coffee stain seonghyeon somehow knew about. âi thought we were being careful.â
he lifts his head, eyes meeting yours. thereâs no real panic there, not really. âmaybe we should just stop hiding?â
you consider it. the company knows, technically, management had the talk months ago about discretion and image and âtiming.â
âmaybe,â you say softly. âor maybe we keep pretending for another week and hope they forget about it?.â
martin laughs, he shifts closer, arm sliding around your shoulders properly this time. âthey're not that dumb.â
âyouâre the one who thought we were being slick.â
he kisses your temple. âi am slick.â
you turn your head and kiss him properly, quick, soft, the kind of kiss youâve done a hundred times before. when you pull back, his eyes are softer.
âchicken?â he asks.
âchicken,â you awnser.
you stand up, gathering your things. martin slings your bag over his shoulder without asking. as you head down the hallway toward the lounge, you hear the low sound of overlapping voices and the clink of metal chopsticks against porcelain bowls. someone, probably seonghyeon from the sound of it, laughs at something.
inside the lounge, the others are scattered around the table like itâs any other night. juhoon doesnât even look up from his phone. james slides two containers your way, keonho and seonghyeon grin, wide and knowing and way too amused.
no one says a word about it.
martin sits beside you, close enough that his knee presses against yours under the table. you eat the chicken and listen to them bicker about choreography and who ate the last dumpling from the fridge. it feels normal.
later, when the others have finally wandered off to the dorms and itâs just the two of you cleaning up the mess, martin pulls you in, properly this time, arms around your waist, because he know no oneâs coming back this time.
âhi.â
âhi.â
âguess the secretâs out,â he murmurs against your hair.
âguess so.â
âstill love me?â
you lift your head up. âyes.â
he kisses you then, slowy, unhurried, like he has all the time in the world. when he pulls back, thereâs that usual confidence mixed with something softer, something just for you.
you stay like that for a minute, the building empty around you.

juhoon x reader
a drabble in which your earphones get tangled,
and your bf is a show off
youâre sitting on the couch in the dormâs living room, earphones in your hands, fighting a losing battle with the cord thatâs somehow knotted itself into a miniature birdâs nest. youâve been at it for a solid five minutes, muttering curses and obscenities under your breath, yanking too hard, then regretting yanking too hard because it causes the knots to tighten even more.
juhoon walks in from the kitchen, a half eaten apple in one hand, his phone in the other, and stops a few steps away. he watches you for a minute.
you glance up, frustrated, brows furrowed (which juhoon finds oddly endearing). âdonât even say anything.â
he doesnât. instead, he just sighs, soft, almost entertained, and steps closer. he takes the headphones from your fingers.
his hands are steady, his long fingers start to detangle the cord, calmly, annoyingly fast. a twist here, a loop pulled through there. in under ten seconds the knots are gone, and the wire is hanging straight.
he gives them back to you, the faintest smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
âyouâre welcome,â he says, before taking another bite of his apple and walking toward the hallway, acting like he didnât save you from your own incompetence just a minute ago.
you stare at his back, cheeks growing redder with every step.
