y/n knew that the only reason she’s friends with so junghwan is because of her member — even though it did take a few months for junghwan to actually look at and speak to her.
"you're doing it wrong"
currently, their friendship is in the territory where they argue and make fun of each other so often that it makes people think that they must hate the other.
"you can't even cook!"
"i know. i just like telling you that you're wrong" she glared and threatingly raised the large knife in her hand, but it only made junghwan smile
y/n wasn't even supposed to be here, or around junghwan at all, but when he called and coughed in her ear for five seconds straight before asking if she could bring him some medicine since his members weren't answering, she had sighed and agreed. even if they did argue and fight constantly, she wasn't mean enough to ignore him while he’s sick.
however, when she arrived, junghwan then asked if she could make him some soup since he tried and all the water somehow disappeared from the pot ( junghwan also almost set the dorm on fire, but no one had to know ).
so now, y/n is preparing him soup while he judges her every move.
“go spread your germs somewhere else or at least put a damn mask on… if i get sick i’m throwing you out the window” he laughed, but then started coughing which made y/n quickly cover the ingredients
“go take a shower. it’ll make you feel better” her tone went soft as she grabbed the ingredients and turned around
junghwan blinked as he stared at her back. y/n always does this; they’ll be in the middle of an argument or had just finished one when she says something so quietly and gentle that it makes him freeze.
they’re friends, of course she cares, but sometimes it made junghwan’s heart leap and cheeks grow red from — well, he doesn’t really know.
“don’t make the water too hot or you’ll feel dizzy. i’ll come check on you if i feel like you’re taking too long and your members aren’t back” she glanced back making junghwan nod… almost timidly, but y/n didn’t think much of it
she heard him let out a few more coughs before the sound of his chair was scraped back and his footsteps slowly got quieter.
y/n let out a breath that she didn’t realise she was holding in and looked down at the ingredients.
“is this normal for friends?” she questioned
“or is this… something different?” she wondered

y/n was busy scrolling through her phone with earphones in to notice that junghwan’s members had come back — she hadn’t even thought about the possibility of them not knowing that she had even came over, much less be completely unaware of her entire existence.
“something’s off” hyunsuk stated as soon as junkyu opened the door, which made him scoff
“you’re only saying that to scare us and it’s not working!” he quickly slipped his shoes off, took a few steps in, but then stopped
“what is it?” haruto asked
“there’s a girl” junkyu whispered
“what?” the members questioned behind
“there’s a girl. in our kitchen” he said slowly as they peeked out from behind
“Is it a ghost?” jeongwoo spoke as he and jaehyuk clinged to each other
“doesn’t seem like it…”
hyunsuk took a deep breath, mentally reassured himself, and walked into their kitchen where y/n was trying to find something big enough to put the bowl of soup, medicine, and tea she also made on.
“oi” hyunsuk said, voice loud and firm that it made y/n jump
she turned and stared at junghwan’s member like someone who was caught doing a crime — she’s never met any of them before since their schedules don’t line up. she has seen jeongwoo ( who was hiding behind hyunsuk with the others ) before around school, but they’ve never interacted ( unless junghwan complaining about him counted, but she doubts it ).
“who are you? what are you doing?” hyunsuk demanded while staring straight at her
the boys didn’t think they had any stalkers, much less one that looks this young…
“um… m…making soup?”
okay. they weren’t expecting that.
junkyu peeked out and looked at the pot on their stove before shifting his attention towards the cup and… medicine bottle?
“j…junghwan’s sick… he asked me t…to come o…over”
y/n actually can’t believe she stuttering right now, but jeez, junghwan’s leader is really intimidating — more than hers anyways.
“as if” he scoffed making her eyebrows furrow
“what’d you mean?”
“junghwan can’t talk to girls”
“i know… my member was friends with him…” she spoke slowly while hyunsuk narrowed his eyes
it’s on thing to say that they’re friends, but then saying that he was friends with her member first?
“you’re an idol?” jaehyuk asked making her nod
“i’m in ( group name )”
y/n watched as haruto tapped hyunsuk on the shoulder before showing him his phone that had her profile on it.
“you’re in a co-ed group” she nodded
“yeah. me and ( member name ) are the same age… we go to school with junghwan… they’re in the same class”
she played with the string of her earphones as the boys looked at each other. y/n glanced behind her before taking a deep breath and speaking up.
"um..." the five boys immediately snapped their heads towards her
"it's going to get cold, so..."
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
y/n placed the bowl of soup on junghwan's beside table before placing a hand on his shoulder and carefully shook him awake.
he whined and pulled the blanket higher, making her sigh.
"come on, hwan, you need to take more medicine and eat something"
“hwan?” jaehyuk repeated in disbelief
junghwan let out a groan, but allowed y/n to push the blanket down and help him sit up as his members watched from behind — they truly couldn't believe what they were seeing.
not only did their precious youngest forget to tell them that he's friend with a girl, but they're this comfortable with each other!?
if hyunsuk felt like he was going to faint, he couldn't even imagine what the other members were feeling or might feel when he tells the others.
junkyu passed her the small medicine cup which caused a look of disgust to form on junghwan's face, but it was immediately wiped off as he started coughing. she used her free hand to quickly pat his back and the members actually gasped at seeing him lean into her.
"have your medicine hwan, it'll make you feel better" he nodded and took it from her hands
"he argued with me when i tried to make him take medicine earlier" junkyu huffed out
junghwan held out the now empty medicine cup as y/n passed him the cup of tea that jeongwoo had placed down beside his soup.
"thank you" he said weakly and she smiled softly
"it's alright. you do need to bit a though before you go back to sleep" he sighed but allowed her to take the cup away
the boys watched her scoop some of the soup before bringing it to her lips and… blowing it?
“i can’t believe this” haruto said as she held out the spoon to junghwan… who ate it?!
“i feel like i’m going to faint” hyunsuk stated as he moved to hold onto the wall
y/n rolled her eyes and feed junghwan some more as he let out a small laugh ( that thankfully didn’t turn into another coughing fit ) after swallowing.
“just ignore them” he said and placed his hand over hers
“it’s a bit hard when they’re right behind me” junghwan softly rubbed his thumb over her hand as reassurance while his members were quietly freaking out
y/n pursed her lips as she stared at junghwan who just smiled tiredly.
“okay!” the youngest let out a sigh as hyunsuk took the bowl of soup away from y/n
“it’s getting late, you should probably head home” he smiled at the girl who looked at an annoyed junghwan
“alright” she slowly stood up, eyes never leaving junghwan
“text me later?” junkyu choked at her words
‘i will” he promised making her nod
she then turned to the five boys who kept looking between them.
“it was nice meeting you’s”
y/n looked back at junghwan one last time before walking out of his room.
the boy sighed and glared at his members who took massive offence to his look.
“you’s are so embarrassing” he then pulled up his blanket and turned away from them
they couldn’t believe it.
“i can’t believe that we’re actually witnessing his rebellious stage”
it went quiet before haruto spoke up.
“you’s don’t think they’re more than friends, right?”
hyunsuk almost dropped the bowl of soup.
