Yexi Happy Birthday Carats!!!! You made 2024 so unforgettable and I know 2025 will be the same. I hope we meet often and we have many surprises in store and I have a few secret ones I can't share yet. Let's make 2025 amazing 🩵🩷
💎 I think this will forever be my favorite video of you, forget fan cams ♥️
💎 Noona you are the standard
💎 This is the kind of idol content I want, screw thirst traps (unless it's her)
🍒 So this is what you do when left alone unsupervised.
➡ 👑 This is what I do when left supervised. Who do you think recorded it? @/Wonwoo
Hiii! I don’t think that you’ve ever done this but how about the reactions (glimpse) of the members when they find out that yexi’s dating someone for the first time while she’s in svt? Btw i love your OC 🫶🫶
Glimpse: How the members handle Yexi having a boyfriend
Scoups: he will always see her as the little sister that he helped take care of. He would be hard to impress and would probably be the very last person to approve of someone she dates since the bar he sets is so high because he thinks she deserves perfection.
Jeonghan: he would think Yexi dating is the cutest thing ever. He would be welcoming to the guy until he screwed up. If he screwed up Jeonghan would be the member he should fear most.
Joshua: he'd be willing to help her date and find ways to make sure that her relationship isn't found out. He would be the one that would worry about that the most because he knows that if her relationship is found out that it would be hard for her and the hate would be overwhelming.
Jun: that his baby. He would have a hard time accepting the fact that she's dating. He'd whine and pout about it. As long as she was happy though he would support the relationship.
Hoshi: he'd tease her about it but also be the biggest fan of the relationship as long as it was a healthy one.
Wonwoo: he'd be happy as long as she was happy but the first time the guy made her cry he's basically dead to him. The glares would be deadly.
Woozi: he stays pretty hands off and doesn't have much of an opinion over the matter. But he would encourage her to write lyrics about all the emotions that happen in a relationship.
DK: when she's in a relationship and happy he is the biggest fan. That's his OTP as long as he's treating her right.
Minghao: He will be judging the guy from the first meeting. Scrutinizing everything he does and if he does Yexi dirty Minghao would put his zen life style on hold and throw hands.
Mingyu: he'd be whiney that someone else is taking Yexi's attention. He'd also be grumpy over the fact that he now has to be cautious of skinship with Yexi so it doesn't cause problems, but the day they break up it's back to cuddle time.
Vernon: he has no thoughts about it at all. Date, don't date, he doesn't care. He's supportive as long as she's happy.
Seungkwan: you better believe that if it's someone from the industry that he's going to be getting in touch with all his connections to find out as much as possible about the guy. He has high standards for Yexi and if the guy doesn't meet them, the guy has to go. But he's always there to listen to what she has to say, whether it be gushing or venting.
Dino: if he treats his Noona badly Dino is ready to square up. He just wants her happy and anyone that does not do that is at risk to end up in fisty cuffs.
xinyexi umm okay first off rude and secondly you are a walking embarrassment 24/7 Kim Mingyu
💎 Okay but like why is this the best thing I've seen all day?
💎 I'm pretty sure Yexi and Joshua openly admit to being the weirdest ones in the group lol this was no secret. Plus it was only a matter of time before she dragged another member into her weirdness.
everyone_woo I take offense to this.
pledis_boo Please never tell anyone you're a member of Seventeen I beg of you 🙏
➡ xinyexi I WILL TELL EVERYONE KWANNIE! WITH ALL MY LANGUAGES!
"I think I'm going to stay a bit longer to work on the new choreo."
Wonwoo sighed at her, "You've been here since early this morning and it's close to midnight, you need to sleep."
Yexi waved him off, "I won't stay too long. I'll take a Kakao Taxi back."
"Fine, just text me before you leave okay?"
Yexi gave him a mock salute causing him to ruffle her hair before turning to leave and joining the other members that were most likely piling into the vans to head back home. Once he was out of the practice room Yexi walked over to the sound system and restarted the music before running back to her place in front of the mirror.
She continued to run through the choreography multiple times until she was panting and practically dripping sweat. She walked over to her bag and grabbed a small towel to wipe her face while trying to catch her breath. She grabbed her phone and looked at the time only to be surprised that hours had passed and she hadn't even realized it. She knew she should probably wrap things up and debated on running through it a few more times but before she could restart the music from her phone it began to ring. She disconnected it from the sound system and looked at the screen. Jungkook's name appeared and Yexi swiped the phone to answer.
"Hey, loser."
"Hey, Mingyu said you were still at the company...is that true?"
"Yeah, I wanted to go over some of the choreo for a bit longer."
"Well pack up and come to the parking garage."
"Why?" She asked already walking over to pack up her stuff to get ready to leave.
"Because I have a surprise, now get your shit and come down."
Yexi rolled her eyes, "Fine. I'm on my way." She slipped the bag over her shoulder and made sure to turn off the lights in the practice room.
"Perfect I'll wait by the elevator for you." Yexi gave a noise of agreement and ended the call before walking down the hall to the elevators.
She had her finger above the button when the elevator doors opened to reveal a tired-looking Yeonjun, "Oh! Yeonjun-ah" she gave him a small smile, "I didn't realize anyone else was still here."
The boy smiled brightly, "Hey Noona, yeah we have a comeback coming up so we're practically sleeping in the practice rooms right now."
"Have you guys eaten?" Yeonjun shook his head causing Yexi to click her tongue at him, "How about I order you guys something before I leave? That way I know you've eaten."
Yeonjun shook his head, "No no no, you've already done that once before. I promise we'll eat."
Yexi looked him in the eyes, "You better. Don't disappoint me Yeonjun-ah." she pressed the elevator button again to open the doors before stepping inside, "tell the other boys good luck for me."
"Goodnight Noona!" he called out to her as the elevator doors closed.
Her phone started ringing and she looked down to see Jungkook's name and sighed, "He's so impatient" she mumbled to herself before hitting the answer button and bringing it to her ear, "Yesss?"
"Did you get trapped by the facial recognition software again?"
Yexi laughed, "No. I ran into Yeonjun on my way down and wanted to make sure they had at least eaten."
"Aww, what a good sunbae."
"Better than you." she quipped causing him to scoff, "don't you scoff at me. I'll go back upstairs." While her threat was only half-hearted she smiled when she heard Jungkook backtracking and begging her to still come. The elevator doors opened to reveal Jungkook and he sagged in relief seeing her there.
"Yexi, my favorite person ever." he wrapped her in a punishing hug causing her to start slapping his back so she could breathe.
She stepped back once he let go, "It's hard to believe that when you try to kill me. We get it Gguk you work out." He shot her his most charming grin causing her to roll her eyes at him, "So what did you want to show me."
"Oh! Right!" he walked behind her and put his hands over her eyes, "No peeking."
"If I get hit by a car I'm naming you as an accomplice just so you know."
"Your trust in me is heartwarming." he deadpanned causing her to stifle a giggle. He carefully guided her forward for a bit before turning her to face the left, "Okay, ready?"
She nodded and he pulled his hands away to reveal a motorcycle. She blinked a few times before turning to him, "Please tell me this isn't yours."
"Of course it is!" he gave her an excited smile, "Now get on. I'll take you home."
Yexi started laughing, "Oh hell no. I'm not getting on that death trap with you."
Jungkook frowned causing Yexi to feel the tiniest bit guilty of her kinda sorta joke, "You don't trust me?"
"Oh, I trust you, just not on that."
"We've been friends for six years and you don't trust me enough to not crash? Like I would risk this face if I thought there was even a chance that we would crash." he rolled his eyes at her.
"So I'm supposed to feel at ease now because you wouldn't risk fucking your face up? It's already questionable." He glared at her causing her to laugh, "Fine. You realize if Coups Oppa finds out about this I'll be lectured, right?"
Jungkook shrugged, "Not my problem."
Yexi turned around and started to walk away, "I changed my mind I'm not going."
Jungkook rushed over to her and wrapped his arms tightly around her, pinning her arms to her side, "Pleaseeee Yex."
"Fine. Let me text tweedle-dee to let him know I'm leaving since I promised I would."
She felt him nod his head, "Okay."
Yexi waited a moment before sighing, "Gguk You have to let go of me first."
"Oh, right! Sorry." He dropped his hold on her.
"I'm gonna murder him and they'll never find his body," Yexi mumbled to herself while slipping her phone back into her pocket. She turned to see Jungkook waiting on her with a helmet in his hands.
"Ready?" she could see him practically vibrating with excitement.
"You've driven this with someone on the back before right?" She asked hesitantly.
"Yes. You're not the first one Yex, now come here and let me put this on you." He gestured to the helmet in his hands. Yexi took a deep breath before closing the distance between them. Jungkook pulled the ponytail holder gently out of her hair before lifting the helmet and sliding it over her head. "Is it snug? It's not too tight?" Yexi shook her head, "Good." he smiled. He took the chin strap and easily looped it and pulled it to where the helmet wouldn't move around.
"How do I look?" she posed.
"Like a badass. This helmet is essentially yours. I almost got you one with attached cat ears but figured it was probably best to just get a normal one in case anyone else might need to borrow it." Jungkook grabbed his own helmet from the handlebars and slipped it on. He quickly secured it under his chin before swinging his leg over the bike to straddle it. "Make sure your bag is across your body before you get on."
Yexi slipped the bag strap over the helmet so the strap was now running across her body. Jungkook held out his hand and she grabbed it before hesitating. "Just step on the peg down by your foot and swing your leg over, kind of like you were getting on a horse." Yexi did as he instructed but yelped when she felt the bike lean a little. "You're fine. I've got it." Yexi tried again and felt relief when her butt was finally resting against the seat.
Jungkook turned the key and the bike roared to life, "Where do I hold on? I don't wanna fall off." she rushed out.
He reached back and grabbed her arm and wrapped it around his body. Yexi instantly wrapped her arms around him tightly, "Not so tight." he laughed. She eased up on her grip and he kicked the kickstand back up, "Let's go!" Yexi yelped when the bike lurched forward before smoothly making its way out of the parking garage.
As the two drove through Gangnam Yexi started to feel her body relaxing and if she was honest with herself she would admit that there was something freeing riding on the back of a motorcycle. Despite joking around with Jungkook she knew deep down that if they were to wreck for any reason that Jungkook would protect her to the best of his ability even if it meant he got hurt, so it allowed her to truly enjoy the ride on the way to the dorm. On the few times, she did get anxious from cars getting too close for comfort he would make sure to put distance and give her arms that were gripped tightly around him a comforting pat before putting both hands back on the handlebars.
Yexi was surprised that she actually felt mildly disappointed when they arrived at her dorm building. Jungkook pulled into a parking spot and killed the engine before holding his hand out for her to take so he could help her dismount. She didn't struggle to get off as much as she had gotten on. He put down the Kickstand before dismounting himself and pulling the helmet off and ruffling his hair before motioning Yexi forward so he could help her take hers off, "So what did you think?" he asked once her head slipped free.
"I begrudgingly admit that I liked it more than I thought I would." Jungkook beamed and opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Yexi's ringtone. She pulled her cell from her pocket and her eyebrows shot up at the name that appeared. She held out a finger to Jungkook before answering.
" Hello?"
" Yexi?" a deep voice asked.
"Hey, Chanyeol." At the sound of the name Jungkook's eyebrows furrowed. As far as he knew the two hadn't talked in a few years so he wasn't sure If this was a new occurrence or if they'd been talking for a bit. "What's up? I thought you were still doing your mandatory service."
"I was only recently discharged, but I called because I wanted to see if you have any plans tomorrow?"
"Just practice I think but it shouldn't be an all-day thing, why?"
"Can we meet up? I wanna talk to you about something."
She nodded to herself, "Yeah sure, I'll text you the times I'll be free."
"Sounds good. See you tomorrow."
"Bye!" Yexi slid the phone back into her pocket.
"Since when did you start talking to Chanyeol again?" his tone wasn't accusatory, just confused.
"Since this phone call I guess" she shrugged, "He wants to meet up to talk about something."
"What does he want to talk about?" He carefully leaned against his motorcycle.
"I'm not sure, he didn't say. He just asked if I had some free time tomorrow." Jungkook looked deep in thought and while normally Yexi would stay to continue the conversation she was utterly exhausted and wanted to go upstairs and crash. "I should probably head up, I'm exhausted and I am dying to just shower and sleep."
Her voice snapped Jungkook out of whatever he was thinking about, "Alright. Call me tomorrow and tell me what he wanted to meet you about."
"Alright you nosy bastard." she laughed. "Drive back safe and text me when you get there."
Jungkook gave her a two-finger salute and put his helmet on before straddling the bike and driving off with a quick wave. Once he was out of sight Yexi turned around and headed toward the elevator. She sighed in relief when the elevator reached her floor and she dragged her feet in exhaustion all the way to the front door. Once the passcode was entered and she pushed open the door she came face to face with Mingyu sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Well if it isn't my little daredevil." he grinned.
"If I wasn't so exhausted I would kick your ass." she threatened.
he laughed, "You better not let Hyung find out."
She pointed at him with a glare, "If I go down I'm taking you with me. I'll tell him that you're the one that told Gguk that I was still at the company and that you knew he was coming to take me home on his bike. Just try me, you overgrown man-child."
Helped write and produce 'Bittersweet' where she was able to star in the MV and lend her vocals.
There was a male idol that showed interest in Yexi and asked her on a date but Chan heard the guy bragging about it and planning to use her to get to know the other members of Seventeen. Chan was ready to square up at Show Champion.

Jungkook and Yexi went on a trip together to go snowboarding and it was never found out by fans or gossip sites.
Can usually be bribed to do something with something sweet
During trainee days the company monitored her weight and when Seungcheol found out about the extreme measures they had her on he went to the Vice President of the company and had a "nice" talk about it.
When Wonwoo's mom passed away and he came back to take part in schedules Yexi slept beside him for almost 2 weeks. They never talked about anything but that's just how they are when they support each other during hard times... Silent but always there if needed.
She only has a handful of really close friends outside of her group despite being friendly with half the industry.
She was taken advantage of by other idols trying to gain popularity or get close to her members.

Was offered a solo album but ended up having a breakdown because she thought they wanted her to leave Seventeen. It took the 95 line and the leader line combined to calm her down long enough to explain.
She helps Hoshi with choreography but she doesn't touch formations because 14 is just too many people.
When she had extended schedules in China the manager that was hired for her time over there ended up hitting her and it made gossip sites before she could ever tell her members.
She's not too emotional unless it's about her members or Carats
The members started calling her Princess to tease her after their debut because that was the title given to her by Carats "Princess of Seventeen/Seventeen's Princess" but now it's used as a term of endearment by her members.

News of sexual harassment against Yexi by a photographer during a solo magazine shoot made its way to Twitter and went viral causing the company to make a statement that they would look into it, the older members lost their shit.
Gets VERY loving when she's drunk and loses all filters when talking. If she gets really drunk it takes a Chinese member and an English speaking member to make sure the other members present can understand what she's saying because Yexi's drunk Language is all the languages she knows intermingled.
Yexi was leaning against the mirror lightly massaging her knee when Hoshi walked into frame, "Tender?"
She hummed in agreement, "I'm just not part of the strong knees club." she joked.
The choreographer came up beside her, "Did you not bring your knee pad?"
The girl shook her head, "No, I was in a rush and forgot it."
"Hey Jun Hyung, will you go grab some ice for Yexi?" The taller boy gave the performance leader a thumbs up and left the room.
"Why don't you sit for a bit and ice it, don't push your knee." the choreographer pointed at her with a light scold and she laughed promising that she wouldn't.
Minghao walked over and dropped down beside her and tucked her over grown bangs behind her ears and he jerked in surprise seeing the staff standing there with the camera, "Hi Carats!" he waved at the camera causing the girl to look over and notice the staff as well.
"Our princess has tender knees and this choreo is kinda rough on the knees so she's supposed to be wearing her brace but she forgot." he lightly flicked her forehead in jest.
"Ya! It's not like i did it on purpose." She pouted.
"Some ice for our meimei." Jun walked into frame with a bag of ice wrapped in a paper towel. He crouched down by her knee and gently placed it there. She gave him a warm smile in thanks causing the boy to coo at her and pinch her cheeks.
"I think you forgot something." a deep voice said walking into frame. Wonwoo reached out and held her knee brace in his hand, "You left it by the door.
The girl visibly perked up and grabbed it excitedly from his hand, "Thanks Oppa! Now I don't have to sit out." The girl went to pull on the brace but was stopped by Minghao's hand.
"Ice it some more and put the brace on right before we start, otherwise it will end up swelling more." The girl gave him a mock salute and leaned back against the mirror looking much happier than before.
