genre: fluff, crack, hidden relationship, idol au
Growing up, you had always been into fashion. From trying on your mom's heels to changing your style every other week in your teen years, fashion was always your other half. You knew you had to pursue a job in the fashion industry and through time and hardwork, You landed a job as a stylist for various k-pop idols and groups.
The first ever group you had worked for was P1harmony during their debut. You styled them for their movie all the way to their stages. You grew close to them, Soul and Jongseob were your kids no doubt, no dna test needed. After working with them you moved on to work with other groups such as Nct Wish, Nexz, and KiiKii, but there was always someone you never stopped contacting.
Years later, P1harmony is having their comeback with an albun called 'DUH!'. You were offered the job and of course you accepted without hesitation. Working with the boys was always so fun and easy, plus you got to see him..
You walked through the company building, showing your ID to a million different workers before you could even step foot into the meeting room. The initial meeting would be for measurements and to get a feel for the concept they were going for. You walked into the meeting room 5 minutes early so you were waiting for the boys and their manager to arrive. You weren't too nervous, you knew they weren't going to be difficult and you'd consider them to be friends if anything.
The boys walked into the meeting room, they each said a small greeting to you and you greeting them back. It wasn't as awkward as the first time you guys met, it was more comfortable and welcoming. You caught Jiungs glace that lasted a second longer than it should have, you couldn't help but let out a small, barely noticeable smile. You continued by starting the meeting, the boys explained the concept and meaning of the album and you guys tossed around some ideas for the styling. You all created mood boards and each member explained what their most comfortable in. When it came to Jiung, you put your full attention to him. Of course you already knew what he was comfortable in, his favorite styles, even his favorite accessories. You occasionally gave some suggestions to him that you knew he would love, and he happily agreed with the kindest smile on his face.
The other boys watched the interaction, no one thought anything of it, other than Theo. Theo look at you both with suspicion, of course you and Jiung didn't notice the look but it was there. Everyone moved on to taking measurements, which you always tried to make it as comfortable as possible. You tired to make it quick for everyone and only got what you needed. Even during Jiungs measurements, Theo was observing closely. The closest between the two of you, the hand that lingered a bit to long, and the smile of both of your faces. He definitely had an idea of what was going on, but he would never tell the others, he'll let them figure it out on their own.
The second meeting took place before their dance practice. You brought in multiple different sample piece for everyone. Everyone was excited to see what you had come up with, some piece got an immediate approval and others had some critics. They all changed into their respective outfits and put on their accessories so they could practice while in the clothes. The first run through went smooth, they were wearing their more comfortable fit which contained of a shirt with their faces on it and baggy jeans.
Jongseob came up to you at one point with a playful demeanor and asks, "Be honest, which on looks the best?" He says as he pulls his shirt to show off his face on it.
You chuckled at his question, "Well I can't pick favorites I fear." You say avoiding the question.
"Ok but if you have to wear one whose would you wear?" He asked, reframing his original question to get a response out of you.
"Ok well, maybe Jiung's or Soul's." You say with a bright smile.
Jiung and Soul turn to eachother and jokingly high five eachother. "Ok, so you do have favorites." Keeho says dramatically ad he pretends to cry into Intaks shoulder.
"Not favorites," you say in a matter-of-fact tone, "Their faces just work best on shirts." You finish with a shrug.
The rest of the fitting moves on as usual. Throught the fitting you stuck closer to Jiung and adjusted his clothes and hat whenever needed. Of course Jongseob clocked it. Jongseob spent the rest of the fitting observing and lirking, sometimes even trying to ease drop into the conversation. He ended getting no solid evidence but he was still certain there was something going on.
It was now time for the music video shoot, the shoot was going to go on for about 3 days and there were 3 outfits for each member. You had your helper there on set aswell so the work wasn't too overwhelming. You brought in all the clothes that were needed on the first day, and everyone changed into them. You made some adjustments for everybody and helped them with anything else they needed. During the scenes that Jiung wasn't in, he would naturally gravitate back towards you. You guys talked or you would show him a funny video Iyou had seen on TikTok, nothing too obvious but for Keeho, it was obvious.
"Yo, Jiung come here." Keeho says as he takes jiung's shoulder and drags him away from you. "Ok, be honest. Do you have a crush on Y/n?"
Jiung looks at him with a confused expression, "No? Why would you think that?"
"Well you're not very subtle with it. I mean come on you're always staring at her and you're always trying to hangout with her alone. Just let me help you." Keeho says as if he was detective and desperately wanted to be Jiung 'wing man'.
"I'm ok Keeho, I promise you I don't have a crush on her." Jiung says as he slightly rolls his eyes and walks away. Behind him Keeho has the biggest smile on his face, almost like he was planning in his head.
Keeho had called all of the guys, minus Jiung, to a (not so) secret spot on the set. A random corner infront of everybody. "Alright so, i'm I the only one who noticed this little crush Jiung has on Y/n?" Keeho attempts to whisper but in reality he was just talking in a normal voice.
"Yeah, I knew I wasn't crazy." Jongseob says proudly. Theo adds, "Yeah noticed some stuff during our first meeting."
"What. How come I never noticed?!" Intak says as if he was betrayed.
"You're always on your phone hyung." Jongseob replies as Intak rolls his eyes at him.
"Yeah, Yeah anyways. We have to make a plan do get them together!" Keeho says in a really loud whisper yell. Theo smacks him and shushes him up.
"You know what i'm in." Intak says as he puts his hand in the circle like some corny disney channel show. To no ones suprise, the rest of the guys join in and do a little chant as they break apart. You watched them disperse from a far as you laugh to yourself.
The second day of shooting was, interesting. Keeho spent the morning glazing Jiung, "Did you know he saved a goat or something, her name is taeyang.", "He works so hard and writes like half of are lyrics, he's so sweet, he even helps Soul alot with his lines!", "Did you know he was my first ever friend! He helped me out so much during our trainee days. You should like date him." He said other things that you couldn't even remember, honestly you was getting pretty convinced.
Theo spent the whole day observing and listening to you, he asked questions like "What's your favorite flower." and "What's your favorite type of food." Then relays all his 'new found' information to Jiung. Jiung brushes it off and continues to insist that he doesn't have a crush on you. At some point Theo becomes a wise old man and spent 45 minutes telling Jiung the 'wonders of young love', Jiung was of course interested and when you walked by you couldn't help but laugh at them, they sounded like two old men yapping about love and 'the good old days'.
Intak on the other hand joins in on their conversation, "You guy are total boomers! No one's like that anymore." He says with a scoff. He then starts a rant of his own, he explains how to actually flirt now days. He advises Jiung to ask for your instagram and that texting 'goodmorning' and 'goodnight' everday its super romantic. After he says that Theo starts to scold him saying "How is that romantic? Men use to yearn for women, they would do anything just to get the woman they loved to look their way!" Jiung could help but to agree, "Yeah, I agree. I pay for everything, spoil her, and drop everything just to spend one day with her." Intak and Theo turn to him slowly. "Who's her?" Theo asks suspiciously. Jiung looked like a deer caught in headlights but plays it off, "I'm saying if i had a girl." He says as he shakes his head and walks off, leaving Intak and Theo to argue about romance and love.
You were adding different pins into Jongseobs shirt for the second outfit he had to wear for the shoot. You and Jongseob acted more like close cousins, always teasing one another but also asking eachother for (or randomly giving) advice. Jongseob takes a secind before speaking, "So what do you think about Jiung?" He asks out of the blue. You pause for a second before returning to his pins. "Well he's really nice and calming to be around, he never complains about my styling." I say with a small smile before continuing, "Why do you ask?" Jongseob takes a peek at Jiung, who was behind him at some table eating a snack, then turns back to you. "You guys would be a good match." He says with a smirk. You blush slightly, "Stop, don't even. I know what you guys are trying to do." I say as I put in the last pin. "Ok yeah but you should give him a chance!" He says as he walks away, truely believing he accomplished something.
It was now the third and final day of shooting, this is also the last day you get to be piwon's stylist. You would've styled them for their promotional stages but you had already been booked with another group after piwon.
The guys, minus Jiung of course, have decided that they were making Ji-y/n happen. They lirk around as you and Jiung were conversating and even when you were doing simple fixes on his outfit. They were determined.
It started with Keeho. Keeho's job was to distract you as Theo and Intak set up flowers and a small cake that said 'Be Mine?' on it, in the temporary room the company gave you for the shoot. Jongseob and Soul's job was to get Jiung into the room right before you got there. It was a perfect plan. Keeho was making his way around the set looking for you, only to find you were gone. Jongseob and Soul had been looking for Jiung, but he was no where to be found aswell. Keeho was panicking because they only had today to make this happen. He called everyone back to the original meeting spot, which was still the same random corner, and he started a search party for you and Jiung. They looked up and down the places, for about two minutes. They decided you guys were dead and sighed in defeat. Until Soul had found you guys and called over the guys quietly.
There you and Jiung were, hidding at the back of the set, they watched at Jiung leaned in at gave a gently kiss on the lips and pulling away with a bright smile. The guys stare with their jaws dropped to the floor, except for Soul. "You guys actually didn't know?" He asks curiously.
Keeho turns to him, "You knew?!" He whisper yells towards him. "Well yeah Y/nnie told me like three years ago." He says innocently. The other guys look ten times more shocked then before. Keeho storms out of their hinding spot and point to you and Jiung accusingly. "YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DATING FOR THREE YEARS?!" He yells, practically announcing to the world that you guys had been dating. You and Jiung turn towards eachother and burst oit laughing.
"Took you long enough." You say as you hold your stomach from laughing too hard. Jongseob looked at you in disbelief. "How could you hide that for so long? Especially to us." He said innocently a sulky tone. It was Jiung's turn to look at them in disbelief, "I did tell you guys! Remember when I told you I had a girl all those years ago? But you guys didn't believe me and called me a loser?" He says practically scolding them. "Do be fair you are loser, so it's hard to believe." Theo says in a defensive manner.
Jiungs scoffs and hold your hand. "Well I do have a girlfriend thank you very much." He says with some sass. You giggle at his antics but go along with. Intak speaks up and asks, "Ok, but why did Shota actually know this whole time?" You smiled at Soul. "I trust Soul with everything, he knows about every date we've been on, all the gifts he's given me, and maybe even everhtime he's sneaked out of the dorms to sleep at mine." You say with a sly smile. The guy's faces turn into on of envy towards Soul. "That's so unfair, wait why did you go along with out plan if you knew?" Jongseob asked Soul. "It was funny." Soul says as he laughs at them.
Eventually everyone got over themselves and asked you and Jiung a million questions about your relationship. This lead to a very long Jiung rant about how you guys met, everything he loves about you, and overall him being a helpless romantic. As much as the guys hated to admit it, they were so into his stories and their own hearts felt warm, and maybe Intak learned a thing or two about real romance.
