ateez reacts to their s/o distancing themselves cos they feel like a burden 🥺

I love this request because I relate to it a lot, so thank you :)

*Trigger warning: Please don’t read this if you think that talking about mental illness (low self-esteem, depression, anxiety…) could trigger you. Also there’s minor violence in Hongjoong’s section, so be aware of that. Take care of yourselves because you’re all worth it.*

ATEEZ Scenario: S/O distancing themselves because they feel like a burden

Please let me know if you would like a part 2 of this :)

Seonghwa

The doorbell rang. You didn’t bother getting up, you didn’t even expect anyone. After about 2 minutes the ringing stopped and you could breathe again.

Then you got a call. It was Seonghwa. Again, you didn’t have the power to pick up. After a while you got a text from him: “Are you home right now? I brought food J”

Why was he still being cute? You had treated him like shit the past few weeks, telling him lies after lies.

“I’m out sorry” You replied. Then you heard someone knock on your door.

“Y/N, I can hear you, please let me in.” Why couldn’t he make it easy for you? You opened the door.

“What do you want Seonghwa?” Your voice sounded harsher than you anticipated.

“What do I want? I want for you to tell me what’s going on with you. You’ve barely talked to me for the last two weeks and I don’t know what I did wrong, so please just tell me.”

“I’ve just been busy that’s all”

“Don’t lie to me, I know that’s not the reason, I’m not stupid… We are in a relationship, aren’t we supposed to talk to each other?”

“Well maybe I don’t wanna be in this relationship anymore.”

He was clearly taken aback by that: “what?”

“I said I don’t want to be in a relationship with you anymore! I’m tired of this!” You couldn’t look into his eyes.

He took a step back. “How can you say that? Don’t you love me anymore?”

“No”

In that moment you could almost hear his heart break into a million pieces.

Hongjoong

Oh no no no, shit he definitely saw you. You ran away as fast as you could. Stopping at the next alley you tried to calm your breath. You just wanted to see if he was doing alright… Subconsciously you probably wanted him to catch you… but you just really needed to see his face.

“Why are you running from me?”

He scared the shit out of you, you didn’t think he could catch up to you.

“I-uh… I don’t know how I can explain it, I’m sorry” For once, that was not a lie.

Hongjoong took your wrists into his hands. “What’s going on with you, you’ve been ignoring me for weeks and I don’t even get an explanation?!” His grip tightened.

“Ow… Hongjoong you’re hurting me”

Shocked by his own actions he let you go and took a step back. “Please… just tell me what’s going on, I’ve been going crazy and don’t you dare lie to me!”

“I… I don’t know, I truly don’t know…”

“How can you not know?!” He was clearly frustrated.

“Please Hongjoong, I just don’t know, I need space to figure it out.” With that you turned around and started walking away.

Of course Hongjoong didn’t let you, he grabbed your wrist and turned you around to face him again. “No, don’t leave me like this…” The look in his eyes crushed you, you didn’t want to do this to him. You just didn’t know better.

“I need to be away from you for a while, so please let me go”

He had no choice but to let you go.

Yunho

“Where are you?”

“What do you mean? I’m right here with you Yunho”

“No I mean where are you mentally… you’re here physically but your head is somewhere else”

The past few days your thoughts were running wild, so many thoughts about not being good enough for him, not being good enough for anyone or anything. It was crushing your self-esteem and it occupied your thoughts every second of the day.

You didn’t know how to express how you were feeling, especially not to Yunho. You two were in a relationship and you were happy most of the time but as time went on you felt more like a burden to him.

Involuntarily you distanced yourself from him emotionally. Your conversations became more meaningless, you were just functioning when you were around him, you weren’t enjoying your time anymore. Your mind twisted every word he said into something that decreased your self-confidence even more.

You couldn’t tell him, you just couldn’t tell him. “I’m tired”

“Do you want me to leave so you can go to bed?”

When you nodded in response, his eyes couldn’t hide the sadness. It was like he knew something was wrong, he didn’t want to push into telling him though. So he just left you alone, how you wanted it.

Yeosang

“I’m seeing someone else.”

“Wha-” He choked on his water. After a few moments his cough died down and he just looked at you, anger written all over his face.

“Are you serious Y/N?”

“Yes…I’m sorry Yeo”

“Who are they?”

“It’s someone from uni”

Breathing audibly, Yeosang tried to keep his calm. “What do you want to do now?”

“Uh… isn’t it obvious? We’re breaking up, Yeosang”

In that moment his expression softened so that you thought he would break down, but he didn’t. “If that’s what you really want to do…” He muttered something under his breath which you couldn’t understand.

He took his jacket and left the room.

You got what you wanted. Finally you pushed him away from you for good, but why did it feel so wrong?

San

“Why are you avoiding me?”

“I did what?”

“You’re avoiding me. I saw you outside the company today and you even went to the other side of the road just to avoid me seeing you”

“San that’s not true, I just saw my friend who was on the other side of the road, I didn’t avoid you.”

“Oh really? Then why did you change sides of the road again after you were past the company.”

He got you there. “Y/N just tell me if it’s something I’ve done, I can make it up to you, I promise”

“San, you haven’t done anything wrong, really, it’s not you”

“Then what is it? Please tell me”

“I can’t San… I don’t know what it is… I think I need some space to figure it out…”

You could hear him sigh loudly through the phone.

“I don’t even have a choice… but Y/N please… think about me too, think about what you’re doing to me”

“I’m sorry San”

Mingi

At first he hadn’t noticed. He was so busy with the comeback, the promotions and everything that came with it, that he hadn’t noticed you were slowly distancing yourself from him.

He didn’t mean to, he just had a lot on his mind and for the first time in your relationship you were glad. It saved you from having to come up with a mediocre excuse.

It was not like you had ignored him completely, you just texted less and whenever he wanted to call you, you said you were out or busy.

You were currently studying in the library at your uni when someone knocked on your table. It was your friend Kira: “Hey there, uh I’ve only met your boyfriend once so I could be wrong but there’s someone out there, who looks a lot like him asking people if they know where you are…”

“Oh come on… other people would’ve called first” You muttered more to yourself than to her.

You went looking for him in the lobby and quickly found him. “What are you doing?” You sounded clearly annoyed.

“I wasn’t sure if you were here but now you are so you’re coming on a surprise date with me now” He smiled his Mingi-smile, where his eyes kind of disappear.

“Mingi, I don’t have time right now, I need to study, I have an exam tomorrow.”

“But I only have today off and we haven’t seen each other in weeks, please”

“I told you I’m busy!”

“Okay then I’ll help you study”

“NO, no, no… Mingi, please, you need to leave, I can’t do this anymore!”

“…Y/N what do you mean?”

You needed a few breaths to calm yourself down. “I mean this relationship, you and me, I can’t do us anymore…”

“Ar-Are you breaking u-up with me?”

When you couldn’t answer him, he was quick to turn around and leave you standing there, wondering what you had done to the boy.

Wooyoung

He called again. That was the seventh time today.

So you had to answer. “Yes?”

“What do you mean yes, hi, hello it’s me, your boyfriend, remember me? The one who’s really fucking worried about you when you don’t pick up my calls the first six times?”

“Please calm down, Wooyoung, I’m okay”

“You don’t sound like it, what’s going on?”

“Nothing, everything is fine”

“No it’s not, I know you Y/N”

“Really, I’m okay, I’m just busy right now and don’t have time for you” That hit him and you knew it.

“… Well what are you doing?”

He was really starting to piss you off. “Wooyoung, I told you I don’t have time for you right now, why are you so clingy?! Just leave me alone”

“I don’t believe you, that’s why! I just came back from tour, we haven’t seen each other in four weeks and I care about you. There’s something you’re not telling me and it’s making you act weird, so I’m coming over right now.”

He could always see right through you.

Jongho

“Want to take a walk with me?” He tried to get to you with his text, he wanted to reach you. You were just too tired to deal with him.

“I’m busy right now, sorry Jongho” You replied. The next moment he called you.

“Ah whyyy… you’ve been saying that for the last week… I barely see you anymore”

“I…uh… Yeah uhm… work is just a lot right now”

“Y/N I know when you’re lying so don’t even bother elaborating”

“What? It’s true, I have a lot of work to do right now”

“I don’t believe you, why do you feel the need to lie to me?”

“I’m not lying Jongho! Why don’t you believe me?”

“Because I know you but I also know you need space when you lie to me so… I guess you can call me when you feel ready to tell me?” Even when you’re pushing him away he can warm your heart.
