How Suyaeon would react to Y/N feeling left out of the relationship
------------------------------------------------------
Summary: It's not always sunshine and rainbows in a relationship, there's a close bond between Sua and Siyeon which comes from them being cut from the same cloth- Y/N can't help but feel like an outlier.
"Ikaw pa rin ang pipiliin ko."

At the start you simply assumed that it'll take time for her to bombard you with energy like she does Siyeon.
Time passes but you're proven wrong, as four months in and she still doesn't get as hyper with you as she does with Siyeon.
You can't help but feel as if there's a barrier between you and Sua that you'll never manage to overcome.
At first it stings your skin when she touches you, lacking the energy that she does with Siyeon.
Eventually the sting deepens into your heart, and it collects instead of fading.
Siyeon is the first to notice.
For a while the wolf thinks that it's just her overthinking tendencies that's playing tricks on her.
Then Sua jumps her with a hug only to pull away and gently hug you, Siyeon doesn't fail to notice how your shoulders are sagged after the hug ends.
That doesn't mean that Sua is unatentive towards you.
She just has the tendency to believe that people have the courage she does when it comes to being up front.
In Sua's eyes, she's making it easier for you to be around her.
She knows that her hyperactivity has the tendency to tire people out regardless of whether they're introverted or extroverted.
One day after practice, Siyeon tells the rest of the members that she and Sua need to stay behind to polish up some moves.
Sua thinks nothing of it. She's always happy to get a bit more practice in.
She is after all one of the main dancers for the group.
She's confused when Siyeon doesn't move towards the speakers but towards her instead.
Siyeon wraps her up in a tight hug and something about it feels off. She's about to shrug the intuition off when Siyeon breaks away and something in the other girl's eyes proves her feeling right.
Sua's senses could never have predicted what she was about to hear.
------------------------------------------------------
Y/N steps out of the bathroom feeling tired but refreshed. Gahyeon waves at the youngest member from the couch with a cup of instant ramen in her hands, the other girl scoots over as You roll your eyes while making your way over to her.
"Unnie, what are you doing eating that when Handong unnie made dinner for tonight?"
Gahyeon blushes before scrambling to defend herself.
"Hey! I'll have you know that I asked her if it's okay if I have this for dinner tonight! It's human nature to crave something you like you know!"
You stand up with a shake of your head, preparing to run away as soon as you can before ruffling her damp hair with a laugh. "That's for rejecting Handong unnie's food!" You turn around to run as Gahyeon's shriek fills the living room but you're not fast enough to avoid Gahyeon's revenge seeking hand, which yanks the towel wrapping your hair off your head before she throws it back at you.
The girl's got spectacularly bad aim however, as the balled up towel soars past your head and hits Yoohyeon's face instead. The blonde haired member shrieks, demanding to know why there was suddenly rendered blind with a damp thing clinging to her face.
Jiu laughs at what has transpired before Handong peeks out from the kitchen and announces that dinner's ready. Leading to your leader to clap her hands and announce that she's going to go call the other members to the dining area.
Gahyeon saunters to the kitchen on high alert, Yoohyeon keeping an eye on the younger member with your offending towel in her hands.
"You wouldn't swing at someone with ramen soup in theur hand, would you?" Asks Gahyeon before she brandishes the ramen cup infront of her. Yoohyeon squints, seeming to consider her next words before she eventually says no.
You shake your head in mirth before following behind the two, paying Handong a compliment and your thanks for the dinner. Your mood brightened and your insecurities forgotten for a while.
------------------------------------------------------
"... Hello?"
"... Hi..."
"What is all this?"
You're tackled from the side in a hug. You turn your head to see Sua clinging to your side with a squeal, you're definitely not complaining but you also definitely want an explanation.
Siyeon tapes the last remaining length of fairy lights onto the top of your bunk before she crawls out of the tiny space, looking like she doesn't know what to say to explain what's happening.
Sua kicks the door behind you closed before breaking your hug and taking a breath to calm herself down. She transforms from the excitable puppy you see her as when she's with Siyeon, so a sheepish and apologetic looking version of herself. She surveys the room for a moment, before steeling her nerves. She holds a hand out and it takes you a moment to realize that she's reaching for your hand, not Siyeon's.
Sua tries to mask the hurt in her eyes when she realizes your conclusion.
You know people though, a performer she might be but the people you take the time to know can never hope to hide emotions from you when you look at their eyes. So you take her hand and place a kiss on each of her knuckles before gesturing for her to speak.
"I'm sorry for hurting you-"
You open your mouth to assure her that you know she didn't really mean to, but she beats you to the punch.
"I may not have meant to, but that doesn't excuse the fact that I did anyways. You're not always quiet, but you're a calm person and I thought you would've preferred me to be subdued around you for lack of a better word."
Siyeon wraps her arms around you from behind, resting her chin on your shoulder and you're glad she did. The tension in your body that you didn't know was there dissipates with the presence of her touch.
"I realise now that I should've asked you at the start if you'd prefer that I be calm around you or if you'd like me to just be as chaotic as I normally am instead of assuming what you would've wanted for yourself and in our relationship. I was out of place and I'm sorry it took me a long time to realise that."
Sua's hand in yours tightens its hold and you drop your gaze to find that her free hand is trembling by her side. You reach for it, pulling her close to you and placing a lingering kiss on her cheek before wrapping her up in a hug and peppering her face in short kisses.
Sua laughs, shrill and breaking in her excitement. She lets go of your hands to enclose both you and Siyeon in a bear hug, lifting you both off of the floor for a moment before her hug tightens even more.
You laugh along with your girlfriends as the irony hits you when Siyeon tells Sua to calm down unless she wishes to snap both your spines.
------------------------------------------------------
"This isn't working, is it?"
Silence greets your question for a moment, then Siyeon moves from her spot on your right.
"No, half my ass is hanging off of the bed."
You and Sua share a laugh before three of you immediately get up from your bunk. Sua moves the laptop off your lap, pausing the movie before getting to work on moving the snacks to a safe area as Siyeon takes the job of laying a blanket down on the floor of your shared room while you take all the pillows from your beds to lay them on the blanket.
Jiu cracks your door open the next morning to find the three of you sound asleep and cuddling on the floor.

A/N: This took me a whole day. To the anon who requested this, I accidentally deleted your ask in a draft (Of all things) that I published before proof reading so I apologize for that!
I hope y'all will like this work despite it being written an exercise for me to get back into the swing of things.
