➪ other notes : YAY MY FIRST 5TH MEMBER READER FOR LNGSHOT !!! i hope i can get more requests like this because i do wanna start writing more ot4 plus 5th member.
you have quite a few bad habits. you always forget to remove your coffee pod from the coffee maker. you tend to round up in time, making your other members think they’re running late. you hog the bathroom after busy days with hopes of being able to decompress. all of this is fine, annoying yes, but overall your friends don’t mind too bad.
what they don’t like is when you leave them at every single event without fail. even if staff tells the five of you to stick together, at some point you just wander off. not to cause trouble but to hang out with your other friends. louis was the first one to actually notice your habit when he turns to where you’re supposed to be only to get taken aback that you’re nowhere to be seen.
“wait guys, y/n just disappeared !” he alerts his older members, immediately panicked. “nah, she’s with her friends,” ryul turns around and points at you. you’re laughing, seeming overjoyed that you get to be around other girls. “aren’t we also her friends ?” louis frowns, this was supposed to be a fun get together, some team building !
the other boys think about louis’ words and come to the conclusion that he’s actually right. and so from that day forward, it became a running joke between the four of them that you secretly want to get away from all of them. they don’t tell you, you’d probably beat them if you found out they were talking shit. but soon enough, that joke turned sour the more you left them.
“does y/n even like us ?” woojin randomly asks, shoving pork into his mouth. the guys were sitting around the coffee table, eating takeout as you were in the bathroom showering after a tiring day. “we’re a team aren’t we ?” ohyul states, taking a sip out of drink. “doesn’t mean she actually likes us…” louis mumbles under his breath.
“well it’s not like we can keep her with us forever,” ohyul shrugs, making the rest of the boys go silent. “technically …” ryul starts and ohyul shakes his head instantly. “no, don’t start-“ “this is for the greater good,” woojin tries to persuade him, speaking with his mouth full. “i said no, we are not that type of toxic friend group,” ohyul attempts to stand firm on his words.
“please hyung,” louis puts his hands in prayer position. and with those two words, ohyul’s resolve crumbles and dies out. he rubs his face, groaning into his hands. “okay, enough whining, let’s figure something out,” there’s a small celebration from the other three, accompanied by ohyul’s sigh before their planning starts.
by the time you’re done showering, steam fills the room, making it feel like a sauna. when you exit, you see your members all putting their hands together in what seems like an agreement. their heads snap towards you as if they’ve been caught red handed. “…okay, totally not suspicious,” you mumble, walking to your room. and that’s how the plan is officially set.
the next time the five of you are meant to go out together as a group is about a week later. the day starts out rough. louis is violently coughing, not wanting to get out of bed. he doesn’t feel too hot to the touch but that doesn’t mean he’s not sick. “i don’t know louis, you look like you’re on your death bed,” you scratch your head, grimacing at his toddler cough.
woojin watches from the doorway, feigning worry. he and louis make brief eye contact, a small signal that this is working…until you ruin it moments later. “well in that case, i guess you’ll have to stay home,” you shrug, pulling the blanket up to his chin. “wait what ?!” louis immediately sits up like he wasn’t complaining a second ago. you raise your eyebrow, suspiciously eyeing him.
“i mean, we still need to go, it’s a social event,” you put your hands on your hips. “a-actually i don’t think he feels that sick to stay home, right louis ?” woojin swoops in, sitting on louis’ bed, wrapping his arm around the younger boy’s shoulder a little too tight. “for sure, just give me like 10 more minutes and i’m up,” louis awkwardly smiles. you stand there for a few more seconds before sighing, “do what you want.”
you leave his room thinking to yourself that he’s such a weird kid. the two maknaes sigh in relief, despite their attempt not working whatsoever. the four of them regroup again, phase one : get y/n to take care of a fake sick louis - failed. “i’m glad you didn’t pursue being an actor,” ryul hits louis on the back of his head. “guys i was coughing for real !” louis whines, gripping his head from the hit.
“yeah bro but you overdid it, hooting and hollering,” woojin scolds him and the two start bickering. “okay that’s enough,” ohyul clears his throat. “everyone lock in and just act like everything’s normal, i got this,” he says with full confidence. “bro don’t mess this up,” ryul warns him, not wanting to step into phase three of getting ( forcing ) you to hang out with them.
when the five of you arrive to the event, the boys see you already eyeing the different small crowds. at this point they’re not even sure if you’re looking for any available friend or for a secret boyfriend. “ah,” you spot woonhak, waving at him, about to make your way towards him. “wait,” ohyul grips your arm, immediately making you frown at him. “sorry, just wanted to go with you,” he innocently smiles with teeth.
“okay ?” you turn to the other three who instantly look away from the two of you. “you know, he’s also my friend so it only makes-“ “i know that ohyul, you don’t need to explain it,” you furrow your eyebrows, already walking ahead of him. things are relatively going well, at least one member is around you. to you, it just feels like a looming presence.
“hey is he okay ?” woonhak whispers to you as ohyul is grabbing a small block of cheese from the waiter’s cheese board. “ummm he’s ohyul,” you shrug and that’s a good enough explanation. but by the time ohyul turns around, you and woonhak are long gone. “shit !” he curses, chewing on his cheese like a starving mouse. he tries to find you in the crowd but zero success.
he instead makes his way back to the group, shoulders slumped. phase two : be with y/n when she hangs out with friends - failed. “bro what did i say ?” ryul clicks his teeth. “i told you guys, she doesn’t even like us !” woojin makes a face. “wait, we still have one more phase !” a hopeful louis says, seeing that you’re now in a circle of different idols, how many friends do you even have ?!
the shaky four all take a deep breath before the second oldest makes his way to you. ryul lightly taps you, earning a surprised look from you. “oh what’s up ?” you ask, already wanting to return to your conversation. “could we talk to you ?” ryul asks, obviously nervous to even be asking you this. “uh sure ?” he pulls you away from your friends as you hastily say goodbye to them.
you meet up once again with all of your members, “what’s up guys ?” “umm staff said we have to be together,” ohyul lies but you have no reason not to believe him. “yeah that’s alright,” you nod before looking around to see if you have any nearby friends, unfortunately you don’t. what follows is three grueling hours of everyone making you tag along wherever they go.
you try to get away from them. this is the one time you can actually talk to other people about things not related to work, but they’re blowing it for you ! it feels almost suffocating, they’ve never been this clingy, especially not towards you. and like a looming cloud over you, your friends feel weird that your conversation is being heard by a third party…well technically more parties.
it doesn’t help that even when you guys are meant to separate, someone is always with you ! you need to go to the bathroom ? louis is waiting outside. you want a drink ? woojin is asking for two. someone talks to you ? ohyul is inputting his own opinion. you step outside for fresh air ? ryul is watching you, asking if you’re okay.
phase three : have at least one member be with y/n at all times - success ? by the end of the event, you feel extremely overwhelmed. you didn’t even get to say bye to your friends properly. you’d be lying if you said you weren’t at least a little peeved at all of them especially now that you’re touching shoulders with ohyul and woojin in the back seat of this stupid van on your way home.
the ride is very quiet. no one’s talking, not even to playfully argue about who was dressed the best. to them, their plan technically worked but it’s the fact that they had to go this far for your attention that bothers them. you on the other hand have no idea how to break the ice but soon enough when enough anger builds up in you, you finally snap. it feels like everyone is playing a sick joke on you.
“guys what is going on ? this whole day, it’s felt like i have gum on the bottom of my shoe,” you cross your arms, tired of whatever they have going on. “we just wanted to hang out,” ryul calmly says, attempting to not anger you. “we were though, we came here together and now we’re leaving together,” you say, confused by the situation.
they go quiet for a few seconds, not knowing how to say this nicely. then, louis finally blurts it out, “you never stay with us when we leave home !” the others gasp at his bluntness and they’re just about ready for you to storm off in disbelief. but you stay still, now even more confused by everything “what ?” ohyul raises his hands defensively, “i think what louis means is that we don’t match what a team is supposed to be.”
“you leave for hours sometimes and there’s times where staff comes and asks where you are and we just don’t know how to respond,” woojin adds with a frown. “and it’s not a one time thing, it’s all the time y/n,” ryul looks at you as he says that. now it’s your turn to become silent. you think before sighing, “i didn’t think of it like that.”
your tone lacks anger, much to their relief. “to me, we hang out all the time, maybe not in public but i’m always with you guys,” you continue, rubbing your chin. “louis, we binge shows and movies all the time, we literally cried in every episode of ‘when life gives you tangerines’ !” he bites his inner cheek with glossy eyes. “yeah i guess that’s true,” he mumbles.
“ohyul, i spot you whenever you need help with weights,” ohyul nods in agreement with a small “yeah.” you’re right, you have done that for him more times that he can count on both of his hands. “woojin, i stay up till the crack of dawn watching you edit just so you won’t be alone,” he looks away from you, guilt starting to pool in his stomach. “ryul, i’m the first one to go with you if you need to go shopping and vice versa !”
you continue, “i even covered up for you when you bought that va-“ “okay that’s enough,” he cuts you off, looking around to make sure no one heard that. “ the point is that i do like hanging out with all of you…but i really need some space sometimes,” you try to gently tell them. “that doesn’t mean i hate you guys, i just kinda wanna feel normal with other people,” you make a disgusted face at your own words.
“plus we literally live together guys. we practice together, we eat together, we do everything together !” you accidentally hit woojin as you wave your arms around, making him mumble a small “ow.” “so you don’t hate us ?” louis turns around in his seat to face you. “no of course not !” you reply, still emotional. “it sucks when you disappear especially when you don’t say anything to us,” ryul shakes his head.
“sometimes you even look happier to be without us,” woojin leans his head against the window, it only makes you feel even more guilty. “i’m sorry, i didn’t think it mattered too much,” you apologize, rubbing your face, surely ruining your makeup. “just please tell at least one of us if you leave,” ohyul decides not to fault you even more.
“i will, i swear i will,” you promise, nodding. “but can everyone please gain some self respect and stop assuming i hate all of you,” you lean back against your seat, exhaling in relief. the boys grumble in agreement with some residual annoyance. your friends can be stupid sometimes but you can’t help but smile to yourself. they wouldn’t have done this if they didn’t love you.
