YOU'RE OFFBEAT! let's get you situated before we throw you back on stage!
MIC CHECK!──────♬ : It’s the month leading up to KOZ university's annual festival. Tech crews are running final checks, bands from the music department are signing up for performance slots and the student representatives are packed with schedules. But for BOYNEXTDOOR, the school’s most beloved and envied band, things aren’t quite getting to the tune they’d like. Between the rehearsals, gigs and classes, each member is quietly (loudly) unpacking feelings. From going no-contact with a longtime best friend turned crush, to being scolded for hovering a little too close to the girl you’ve loved since freshman year, it’s only making the festival performance gloom over them. With the festival drawing closer, the members of BOYNEXYDOOR must learn how to navigate the highs and lows of love, before it completely throws them offbeat for their most anticipated performance ever.

IF IT ISN'T LOVE.
❪ genre/pairing❫ '℘. grunge guitarist!Taesan x introverted nerdy!reader. ❜ somewhat rivals to lovers, best friends to enemies to lovers, comfort, angst, fluff if you squint really hard, mentions of alcohol and parties, college au, smau and written
❪ syn❫ '℘. Han Taesan used to be your best friend. You'd spend every waking moment together. Until he realized that there was more to life than staying home with you and watching reruns of buffy the vampire slayer. 5 months roll by, no communications just growing hatred and tension between the both of you, until Mr. Suh, your history professor, decides that it would be a good idea to pair you and Taesan up for a project worth half your grade.
SO INTO YOU.
❪ genre/pairing❫ '℘. drummer!Woonhak x dense!reader. ❜ longtime crush, oblivious x emotionally charged, fake identity, fast burn, he fell first she fell harder. mentions of alcohol and parties, college au, smau and written
❪ syn❫ '℘. Kim woonhak has two habits he can’t break; showing up late to class due to band practice and tuning into the local campus radio show. The DJs voice is calm, witty and she always seems to make Woonhak chuckle with her playful comments. Her taste in music is always perfectly in line with his, fixed to his moods, his expressions and to Woonhak it seems like she had the key to his mind. But what he doesn’t know is that the voice he loves belongs to you, the quiet, kind girl he’s been nursing a hopeless crush on for months. When you accidentally turn your music-only radio slot into the school's most popular love advice show, Woonhak makes a reckless decision…he calls in anonymously, desperate for help with deciding whether to choose between the girl he can barely talk to or the host he’s admired for ages. And somewhere along the way, you realize that the boy on the call and the boy you can’t seem to stop laughing with in class fade into one person.
TELL ME.
❪ genre/pairing❫ '℘. keyboardist/synthesizer!Sungho x black cat!reader. ❜ loud x quiet, orange cat x black cat, miscommunication, fluff!, comedy, chatterbox x reserved, mutual pining (mostly one sided). mentions of alcohol and parties, college au, smau and written
❪ syn❫ '℘. Park Sungho is anything but nonchalant. He’s a foodie, a chronic chatterer, and worst of all completely obvious about his crush on you, a quiet, independent person at heart. After you sharply tell him to back off (and call him annoying in the process), Sungho vows to ignore you entirely; desperate to forget about you. But when an embarrassing run-in at the half broken vending machine derails his not so great of a plan, he’s sent spiraling through rehearsals, hallways and late-night thoughts, with one thought he can’t seem to shake…You.
I WANNA BE DOWN.
❪ genre/pairing❫ '℘. bassist!Jaehyun x lead technician!reader. ❜ mixed identity, power imbalance, soft angst, slow burn, yearning, dual personality, mentions of alcohol and parties, college au, smau and written
❪ syn❫ '℘. Myung Jaehyun loves his life. He’s confident in his path, quick with a joke, and by most accounts, the picture of a perfect guy. But he has one flaw…when it comes to being the frontman and leader of BOYNEXTDOOR, that warmth disappears. Focused, intense, and unreadable, his seriousness can be intimidating enough to unsettle even his bandmates. Jaehyun never notices the effect he has until it comes to you, the lead sound technician with a not-so-subtle crush on him. When his cold demeanor scares you off, Jaehyun has to face the unsettling possibility that his cool composure may have cost him something he didn’t realize he wanted.
HONEY.
❪ genre/pairing❫ '℘. lead singer!Riwoo x baker!reader.❜ mistaken confession, soft angst, mutual pining, miscommunication, second chance, quiet hearbreak, hurt/comfort, strangers to lovers, acquaintances to lovers mentions of alcohol and parties, college au, smau and written
❪ syn❫ '℘. Lee riwoo has always had a sweet tooth, whether its cherry candy or strawberry cake, if its sweet, he loves it. But there's one flavor he absolutely hates; Apricot. So when you, a baker with a sweet heart of gold, finally decide to confess, you do it the only way that feels right. You ask Sungho for Riwoo's favorite pastry, and trusting his answer you pour everything you're feeling into the dessert. But, to your distress, Sungho gave you the wrong answer, and before you can even enjoy the thought of praise and acceptance, Riwoo unknowingly rejects you with a single, devastating 'no thank you'. Embarrassed and hurt, you begin to disappear from your shift at your family's pastry shop and begin avoiding him all together. Riwoo, meanwhile, is left confused, unable to understand why the girl he keeps thinking about has vanished, and why the sweets he loves feels like an ingredient is missing.
CAN WE TALK.
❪ genre/pairing❫ '℘. rhythm guitarist!Leehan x rival band!reader.❜ somewhat rivals to lovers, quiet bonding, reserved x grumpy, pining, slow burn, angst, fluff, enemies to lovers, contemporary au, mentions of alcohol and parties, college au, smau and written
❪ syn❫ '℘. Kim Leehan loves music but he loves fish even more. As the rhythm guitarist of BOYNEXTDOOR, he's no stranger to competition, especially when it comes to your band, static sirens, his loudest rivals. Onstage, the two bands clash like water and fire, the performances fueled by pride and adrenaline. Offstage, Leehan's world is quieter, spent wandering his local fish shop in search of something new for his fish. He never expects to run into you there, even less, doesn't expect you to know as much about jellyfish as he does about fish. What begins as an awkward encounter, turns into soft smiles, hushed conversations and long talks about aquatic animals. But as the festival approaches and the grand prize looms over the both of you, the rivalry sharpens, pulling you both on opposite sides once more. With the competition threatening to tear you apart, Leehan is forced to confront what matters most...winning, or the connection he never thought he'd have with someone as beautiful as you.
