Sora: but holy shit you're so gorgeously sexy now so you can't really be too mad at the awkward phase

Sora: i don't think every guy has a thing for me. or ever had a thing for me. just a lot of them, but not all of them

Sora: you should've said something. even in your awkward phase, i would've been down for it. this is true, you do get to

Sora: it's a mom thing. as a mom, i can testify. but she's your sister, i feel like i should've put her in the wedding party. did she? i mean, ruin your opinion. a nice long honeymoon, right? private beach. yao would be mortified and would probably go toppling down with her if i put her in six inch heels. i'm not breaking my best friend's ankle for your amusement. and i'm not breaking your best friend's arm for it, either

Sora: i love you so much

Kyu: I can be a little mad

Kyu: most of them, at least. didnt you know? the one rapper from wonderland has a little thing for you, doesnt he? its cute

kyu: what the hell was i supposed to do? come up to you after a show champion stage all like 'that was really hot and so are you; strip for me'??

kyu:dont worry about it. she doesnt care about stuff like that. i think shes just hapy i even found someone to begin with tbh. nah. i have no problems with jieun, even if she does. just like she has no problems with hye. its just how things work out sometimes. youd better believe it. ive been looking forward to another private beach, you know?

Kyu: yaos strong he could handle her. he might get super pent up because the heels'll be a good look for her, but thats something he can deal with after the reception, right? And he'll get her clinging to him all night to avoid breaking any ankles. i think everyone wins

Kyu: i love you so much too. more than anything

Sora: i don't know how you didn't know

Sora: maybe but only because I was foreign and didn't really know how to tell if you liked me or if that's just how some people were around here

Sora: well no not now but i wouldn't have even thought of trying to get your shirt off (let alone get you in bed) like a year and a half ago

Sora: your mom cried when you told her we got married, though. do you think jieun is mad that i didn't ask her to be in the wedding? we can't make out too much because rae will be there, though. she's worn heels before. it wasn't pretty

Sora: i'm just so in love with you. i don't know what i'd do without you, kyuyeol. and you know i'm serious because i almost never use your full name

Kyu: i was too busy trying to survive my awkward phase

Kyu: ah, right. sometimes i forget that my wife is the hot foreign girl every guy has a thing for. seriously; lucky me.

Kyu: too bad. i thought a lot about getting yours off and i dont have to be ashamed of that anymore either because i get to do it irl now.

Kyu:she alwasy cries. Jieun wont care. it's not like you two are super close or anything. she's probably happy just to be invited-- im pretty sure she thinks yejin has soured my opinion of her. right, of course. we'll save the rest of it for the honeymoon. make the ones she wears as your bridesmaid the highest heels you can find. yao will thank us he'll be the one who has to hold onto her so she doesnt wipe out

Kyu: im very much in love with you too, sora. i wouldnt last a day without you

Sora: you didn't have to trick me at all you barely had to ask i've kind of loved you for years and may or may not have dreamed about marrying you

Sora: and/or getting you in bed but that's another story mostly

Sora: we do. i'm really excited about wearing a wedding dress, it's not just for her. and seeing you and rae in tuxes, my handsome boys

Kyu: huh we'll i'll be

Kyu: bet ive loved you longer than youve loved me though

Kyu: right but is getting me in bed really all that hard

Kyu: oh, of course-- me not dying is just another bonus to add to the giant list. the list includes making my mom cry, making my family all be in the same room for the first time since hyewon moved out and jieun and yejin decided they hate eacdh other, and getting to make out with you in front of everybody. and also making liza wear heels because thats gonna be so funny

Sora: you're the best how did i trick you into marrying me

Kyu: i love you too, baby

“Why would you put me in a headlock for that, though?! When has that ever seemed like a good idea? I mean, there’s some stuff I can get behind, but wrestling moves seem like a bit much to me. I’ll just kick you behind the knees and you’ll fall and then I’ll take you down all the way. I’ll trip you with my stilts, you ass,” she grumbled. “She was only yours by default. You’re not all that close with any of your siblings; not on the front of telling them all your deepest, darkest secrets. Practice on a doll! I’m not letting you ruin my hair. If we have a daughter, and I’m sure we will, I can do her hair. Yejin can do her hair. Your dad can do her hair. You, however, are also forbidden from touching her hair. You can play, but you cannot braid, twist, tie, or otherwise maim.” It was hard to be in a relationship where one person is in the spotlight, but with them both on different promoting cycles and schedules, finding a decent amount of time to be together aside from when they were asleep was exceedingly difficult. “A pet toad that constantly got lost. Literally all the time. Probably. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were. That’s not how being the leader works, as much as I’d like to do you. I have schedules and meetings and practices. Chobin, as much as I love her, is a mess. I don’t even think she’s going to this meeting because she has to stay in the studio and practice. Tia’s being good. For now, at least. And Chase is so excited to debut that she wouldn’t dare step out of line. Not a good plan, I’m sorry.” She rolled her eyes back. “Because you’re just so infatuated with me that you can’t possibly keep it all inside. Are you? I wouldn’t know since you tell me everything. Seven since we got married. Almost a year since we started dating. Stop moving me, soon I’m gonna be straddling you and that’s not appropriate for the workplace,” Sora mumbled. “I dunno, maybe. All the new idols debuting are young and gorgeous and maybe I’ll just be obsolete soon. You don’t have to like it, you just have to follow it.”

“Becuase you insist on fighting me so I have to prove my strength before proving my strength. If you kick me in the back of the knees, I’ll fall on top of you and squish you and still win, so you didn’t think that one through very well, did ya? You really coordinated enough for that? You’d fall or your ass and I’d be on top of you in no time.” He scrunched up his nose. “Nah, cuz I could have told Yao or Liza or Teo first, but I didn’t. I told her. I don’t need to tell Jaemi anything, he’s nosy as hell, he figures it all out eventually. I won;t ruin anything, except your opinion on me as a hair stylist. You can do her hair, but I’m gonna get to sometimes because having dad do your hair is different than having mom do your hair-- it just is. How can I play if I’m forbidden from touching? What if she has long hair and I can’t pick her up without touching; are you telling me I’m never gonna be allowed to pick up my own kid? That’s not fair at all.” He was determined to be the best dad ever, and in his mind, this was one of the ways to do it. It’s what his dad had done for his sisters , and his dad was great. “If I got lost then you’d have to come look for me and you wouldn’t have to go to your schedules. Come on, one day won’t be so big of a deal... Ginny’s missed months worth of practice. Yao and Liza both got benched for a week last year and everything was fine. Hasik was out of commission for, like, four months, and he still got back into things. One day won’t hurt anything. Don’t you guys have a manager? Can’t they do anything? See, Tia’s being good. You have nothing to worry about. Besides your maknae’s boyfriend coming in and pissing her off, but she can handle him well enough. It’s still a good plan..” He shrugged. “You’re a special case; I want you to know everything. No one else gets that luxury, That long, huh? Feels like that picnic was just last week. That’s the plan; no one’s here. If it’s such a big problem, why don’t we just go home and you can straddle me all you’d like?” he offered innocently. “They’rre cute, but they’re like...little kid cute. They look eight. You’re way hotter than they are.”

“What are you gonna do? Nuggy me to death? I’ll fight you right here, I don’t care. I could fight you and then have time to go get my nails done, that’s how fast I’ll beat you up,” she shot back, trying to keep from laughing. “She wouldn’t kill you because then I wouldn’t be her sister, and she’s made it very clear that I’m her favorite sibling. Well, to be fair, my love…. We did get married and then not tell her for almost a month. You can’t be too mad that she doesn’t spill her guts to you on a nightly phone call. You’re right, because you’re not touching my hair anymore.” Her fingers played with his, her body glad to finally have a little while to rest. “Frogs are cuter, though. They seem tougher, but the story was about a frog turning into a human, not a toad. Plus, they make weird noises. Like, weirder than frog noises. Maybe it works differently for people with sensitive skin! Jaemi and Hasik are strange, too. Maybe it just worked wrong for them.” She sighed. “I don’t think I can. I’m the leader. I can’t just call in sick. Maybe I’ll get lucky and they’ll cancel. We really need to find a place. Most of the girls seem like they’re getting to the point where they want to move out and live on their own, or with one or two other people. I can’t say I blame them; we’re all in our late twenties and we’ve lived together for, like, seven years. I don’t think you’re incompetent! You just have no capability of keeping your love to yourself. You talk about how much you love me so often that I don’t think you could filter it out. You’re just lucky they don’t ask you about your love life they way the ask us.” It was hard for her to remember that they were still in the company building where anyone could walk past and see them. Sure, most people either knew they were together or had a sneaking suspicion, but who knew what kind of reporters were running around here? “Shut up, I’m not. You can be, but I get to decide when you are. That’s the rule.”

#sara #okay but union doing lucky one/monster promotions #have you seen the stage makeup for monster kyu would look so fucking good #but also he's chanyeol so he'd have to jump over the other members #imagine him trying to nail that in practice #and how many times he would have fallen on his face

“I was thinking more along the lines of dragging you back home with me where I can do whatever I want without having to worry about anyone seeing, but whatever you prefer. That’s some tough talking for someone who just barely comes up to my chest. You got some stilits to fight on, so you can at least reach me?” he teased some more, a smug smile on his face. “Yeah, well, she’s not mine anymore because she refuses to tell me stuff. Hey; she was the first person I told! I at least expect to be the first person to know things. That’s not too much to ask. Rude. I have to practice! What if we have a little girl? All good dads can do their daughter’s hair-- my dad could, so that means it’s true. How am I supposed to get any good if you keep depriving me of playing?” he asked with a little pout. He was glad to see her, too. Between promotions and other obligations, he hadn’t seen as much of her as he would have liked. “I still wanna be a toad. Neville from Harry Potter had a pet toad. No kidding. I’m sure they’re mutants or something. That would explain it. You’re the leader so you can do what you want. Namely, me. Let Chobin take charge for a day or something-- she’s Exxy’s mouthpiece. All she’d have to do is keep an eye on Tia, which I’m sure she could. Chae is too good a kid to cause trouble. And then you’ll be back tomorrow and your loyal second in command can catch you up. Perfect plan.” Kyu rolled his eyes. “Why do you think I say it so much? Because I refrain from doing so at work and it gets pent up so I have to tell you when I can. I’m good at keeping my lips zipped. It’s been seven months, babygirl. I’ve picked up tricks.” He frowned, turning her more towards him and continuing to kiss her nexk, keeping an eye out for anyone wandering by, just in case. “You are too. You so are. That’s a lame rule; I don’t think I like it.”

“Yeah, kick your ass. You wanna go right now? Huh, punk?” she laughed back. “No way, man. You could have taken cosmetology classes and I still wouldn’t let you anywhere near my hair. Yejin almost had to cut it last time and she almost killed both of us for it.” Sora sighed, resting her head on his shoulder. “You’re a very cute frog, though. The most handsome of all the amphibians. I know where the storage closets are, too. You’ve made me quite familiar with them. I think Febreeze burns your skin off if you spray it right on yourself.” She shook her head, stopping afterward to move the hair that had fallen in her face. “No, I wanna stay with you. If you go and pretend to be me, you’ll still be not here.” That wasn’t the most eloquent way to put it, but she was exhausted. Hopefully he’d know what she meant. “You’d embarrass me and probably out us as a married couple by accident, Frog King. Can’t; I have too much practicing to do. I’m not, though. I’m only the pretty one with Haven.” She wiggled around, pushing his hands away from her body in a weak attempt to get him to stop tickling her. “Me? Wrong? I’m never wrong, you know that. You’re the only one who gets to be wrong here.”

“Sure do. Gotta warn you, though--once I have you in a headlock, I’m not sure I’m going to want to let go, so you’ll definitely be late after this. Unless you’re too chicken to fight me, that is,” he taunted, a grin on his face. “Yejin sucks and is lame and wants to kill me always no matter what. It can be payback for her not telling me things-- she’ll have to detangle. But, actually, she won’t have to because I’ll do a really good job.” Almost automatically his head rested down on top of hers. “Damn right I am. I want to be a toad though, I think. They seem tougher. That’s bull; it does not! People have that stuff around kids-- they’d put some kind of warning on it if it was. Jaemi and Hasik wouldn’t have skin if it was. They always used to spray it at each other in the trainee dorms when they thought the other smelled bad.” He rolled his eyes, kissing the top of her head. “Fake sick then. You haven’t done that in a while, so it won’t be that suspicious. Then we can go home and shower and nap and look at more apartments on the internet or something. How incompetent do you think I am? Honestly, it’s like you have no faith in me at all...” He grumbled. He resisted her pushing, wrapping himself tighter around her and pressing his lips gently against her jaw and neck (both of them were pretty lucky they were the only ones in this corridor, honestly...). “Shut up. You’re the prettiest out of everyone.” He chuckled again. “I thought you said you’d let me be right sometimes.:

Teo raised his eyebrow nervously, adjusting how he was sitting, admittedly kind of confused over this. He let out a tiny sigh of relief at Kyu’s statement, smiling. “I won’t,” he repeated, chewing on his bottom lip as he waited for whatever was coming next. He was a little apprehensive to hear it, but it couldn’t be worse than anything he could imagine, right? “M-me? You’re worried about me?” Teo said softly, his smile growing a little. “Hyung, I appreciate it. Thank you. Um……I think I’ll be okay, though. I know about her history, and…it’s different this time. It’ll be fine.”

Kyu rolled his eyes. “Right, when am I not worried about you is the better question. I have lots of reasons to be this time, though. I love Yejin, but she’s Yejin.” He was admittedly a little surprised to hear that Yejin had disclosed her past to him, but it was probably a good sign. He sighed a little, nodding. “I trust you. I don’t trust her, though. Just....be careful. You two make a cute couple, though.”

“What the fuck, Kyu? 42%? That’s such a shitty number! How much do you trust Jaemi? I swear to god, if he’s above me, I might start a fist fight with you….” she threatened, crossing her arms indignantly. “My track record has been wiped clean. I told you; it’s different this time,” she stressed, still tugging on his arm. She sighed, pursing her lips and putting her hands on her hips. He had a point. She didn’t like that he did, but he did. “I mean….you have a fair point.” Another sigh escaped her lips. “I won’t hurt him, Kyu–I promise. I really like him. I might even love him–I don’t know. It’s new territory for me too. This…this is going to work out just fine, okay?” She nodded. “Mom’ll be so happy. I should wait there too. Ask Teo if he’s ready to come to dinner with our family before telling Mom. How are you and Hyewon, by the way.. Are…..are things a little better?”

“I trust Jaemi 31%. It used to be 26, but he’s gotten more responsible since he and Josie started going out. Only a little though. You’re only higher than him because you’re somewhat used to being independant, but the point is that I don’t trust any of you.” He rolled his eyes. “You can wipe your own track record, that’s not how it works. You’ve said that a few times now, Yejin. I’m skeptical.” He snorted, shrugging a little. “Yeah, I know I do. You either love him or you don’t. I won’t tell him if you do, but you should tell him sometime soon. Whatever, just....don’t hurt my leader.” Kyu grinned. “He dines with Jaemi on a daily basis--he’s already seen the worst of our family, Yejinnie. ...Sort of. I don’t know. I haven’t really talked to him in a while.”

Teo sat on his bed nervously, holding his hands together in his lap. He felt like he could cut the tension in the room with a knife. Clearing his throat quietly, he began, “Um….I know Yejin told you about….her and I, and just……before you say anything…I’m sorry we kept it a secret. It just seemed like the best course of action at the time. I promise I won’t do anything to hurt her, either; I care about her a lot and even just the thought of accidentally doing something that might upset her makes me feel sick…..so yeah….um….that’s….yeah.”

His eyes widening a little, he shook his head quickly. “No, no, no...that’s not it. I mean....that’s kind of it, it has to do with you and Yejin, but...” Kyu sighed, scratching his head. “I’m not really worried about her. I mean, I am, but not really. Not like I have been before. I know you’re not going to hurt her or anything.” He ran his fingers through his hair. “I’m more worried about you, actually....Yejin has a bit of...a history and I don’t want her hurting you. I mean, she’s my sister and I love her, but I care about you too. I don’t want either of you getting hurt.”

“You’ll be asleep by the time I’m done. And if you’re not, I’ll kick your ass because it’ll be super late. You are never trying that again,” she laughed. “It took me twenty minutes to get that knot out the last time I let you braid it.” Sora rolled her eyes and shook her head; Lee Kyuyeol was good at a lot of things, but hair styling was not on that list. She’d much prefer to leave it to his sister who actually knew what she was doing. “I look gross. And I probably smell. I left my perfume on your bedside table so I didn’t have it to drench myself in. You’re super biased, you’re my husband.” Her voice was equally as quiet, something she hated that she had to do. Hopefully it’d only be for a bit longer. “I don’t wanna go,” she whined, getting up to sit on him (despite the fact that she just complained about how sweaty she was). “I have a photoshoot. And an interview. And then I have to go back to the studio. Which will probably leave me, like, three hours to sleep before I have to get up and meet with more people about stuff for Siren. Being the leader sucks, I wanna go back to being the pretty one.” She elbowed him. “Do not bring my sweet, innocent baby into this. Rae is too precious to ever hear things like that.”

#sara #lee kyuyeol you shithead

“Kick my ass? Yeah right. Bring it on, Lee Sora. I could take you any time, anywhere,” he told her, squeezing her hand firmly and laughing. “I didn’t know what I was doing last time. I watched a hair tutorial on youtube and I’m 62% sure I know what I’m doing this time,” he told her seriously, his other hand reaching over to tuck her hair behind her ear with a smirk. “You do not. If you look gross then I look like a frog or a worm or something. Hmm....well I know where the janitorial staff keeps the febreeze. I could give you that and you could douse yourself all you want,” he teased, wrapping his arms tight around her waist. “Don’t then. I’ll go. I’ll put on a wig and pretend to be you and you can nap in peace somewhere. I’m great at photoshoots. And I know you better than anybody, so I can make up what you’d say at an interview pretty easily. Sleep and then go to the studio.” He shrugged, leaning his head back on the chair. “You’re always the pretty one.” He breathing in sharply, tightening his grip on her and tickling her sides to get back at her. “Then don’t say them. You’re in the wrong here.”

“It is a good difference. It is. I promise it is. Kyu, you trust me, right? Most of the time? Please trust me on this one, okay?” She took a deep breath, tugging on Kyu’s sleeve gently, looking at him pleadingly. “It’ll be okay,” she repeated quietly. “Yeah, a month. He was the one who helped me out when I popped my stitches and it started…..maybe a week after that?” she said, thinking aloud. She scrunched up her face, nodding. “Without a doubt. He’s going to lose his shit. I’ll tell mom though…that’ll be okay, right? She won’t be too worked up, right? I can tell Hyewon though……that’ll be fine….he won’t flip….he’s less protective than you are, anyway…”

“I trust you some of the time. If I had to put a number to it, I’d say I trust you maybe.....42% of the time. 0% of the time when it comes to boys. Sorry kid. Your track record gives me reason to be nervous” he replied, sighing and looking at her, his eyes studying her face. “I don’t know if it’s really you I’m worried about this time around, Yejin. He’s a good guy, I don’t think he’ll hurt you. I’m worried about him. I love you, but this is new territory for him, and well....you’re not the nicest person I’ve ever met. That would be Rae and he’s leaps and bounds beyond you.” He sighed again. He was still having trouble processing this. “Mom will be happy and excited. And definitely want to have Teo over for dinner. Yeah, no, Hyewon will be pretty chill about it too.”

#yejin

“Yeah, well, you’re a dick.” She glared at him, though she didn’t fight back when he stole her makeshift mirror. “You always say that. You’re either a complete liar or the most incredibly biased person I’ve ever met. I’m super sweaty and gross,” she sighed as she took his hand. If she wasn’t so tired, she would’ve stood up and sat on him, but that was too much effort right now. “You were too. I’m not done for the day. I have at least two other schedules, both of which I have to look nice for, and only one where I will be styled by someone else.” A long yawn and she was rubbing her eyes, lacing their fingers together again when she’d finished. “There are only so many I can say in public. I hate you, I want a divorce. I’m disowning you because you suck.”
