pairing : Choi Seunghyun x Fem!Reader
genre : fluff
description : You and Seunghyun have been dating for a few years now, and five minutes before a concert, thereās a sent text to the wrong number, about how he wants to marry you.
; ; ;
Being in love with Seunghyun was like living in two worlds at once.
There was the public world, the one filled with overly bright, flashing lights, airport papparazzi, the never ending thought of whether he would be seen by media everytime he walked out the door. That Seunghyun was polished. Perfect.
And then there was your Seunghyun. The one who couldnāt cook to save his life but insisted on trying for your sake - because he felt bad you were the one cooking everything recently and wanted to surprise you. Which later ending up with the smoke alarm blaring, causing you to wake up and the sweet surprise to be ruined. But you were happy.
The one who left post-its in your planner when he knew you had a rough week. The one who called you ājagiyaā with the sleepiest voice at 3am after rehearsals.
Youād been together for nearly a three years now. Not secretly. But quietly. In your own world, away from the media, where the public eye hadnāt a clue about what happens in your relationship. And he intended to keep it like that - shielding you from the brutality of his world.
But still, there were moments when you wondered if the private lifestyle ever wore on him, the way it sometimes wore on you. In the sense that you guys had to be so careful with everything you did, every step you took, every movement.
Tonight was the final stop of BIGBANGās MADE tour. You were seated discreetly backstage, tucked toward the side where no camera would ever catch you. Your lanyard said āGuestā, your hoodie was unbranded, but your heart? That was screaming.
He looked good. too good; on stage, hair slightly damp with sweat, eyes full of fire, and a smile that made your heart clench, as he performed like he was born for it. But you couldnāt stop thinking about the last thing heād texted you.
Seunghyun had done this a hundred times; tighten his in-ear monitors, run vocal warmups half-heartedly while bouncing his knee, let a stylist fuss over his hair. But tonight, the adrenaline was sharper. Everything was a little louder, a little faster. Probably because he knew you were there.
But you couldnāt stop thinking about the last thing heād texted you.
Because it wasnāt what he meant to send.
-
The backstage area was a whirlwind of activity. Staff members hustled to and fro, finalizing last-minute details before the concert. Seunghyun stood near his dressing room, his phone in hand, attempting to send a message to his group chat. His fingers moved quickly, composing a playful message to his members.
āBro this is the last tour stop, after this iām proposing for realā he sent to the BIGBANG group chat, one that had a profile picture of the four members in their early days.
āshe has no ideaā Youngbae wrote back, tucked away in his own dressing room as if he had all the time in the world.
āyou got a ring yet Hyung?ā
āCan we be there when you do it?ā
A staff member rolled by warning him five minutes, to which he absentmindedly nodded, turning his phone back on once he picked up his sunglasses, which were purely for decoration, and was greeted with his phone wallpaper. A picture of you he took not long into the relationship but was still his favourite to this day, you were sipping coffee at 7am, half asleep on his sofa, curled under his arm, trying not to fall back asleep when he snapped the picture the moment you looked at the camera with the same smile he fell in love with.
āI might say something stupid though like, āplease let me marry youāā He wrote back quickly, hurriedly, trying to not fall behind concert schedule. Him and Jiyongs rooms were right next to each other, and the two walked to where the stage would lift them up, their conversation carrying on as they then stood with the other two members.
A message whirled through to his phone. A simple, āwhat? are you serious?!ā from you. His first thought was that he had done something wrong, something stupid like not bringing you fresh coffee, or not telling you the concert was starting. Until he opened the chat to check. And there was his message.
Wrong chat.
Wrong fucking chat.
The one that outright said he wanted to marry you, and suddenly he was already sweating half of his stage makeup off in a panic frenzy, showing the other members the situation, muttering curses under his breath.
The message was in a private conversation.
With you.
His girlfriend.
You, who had no idea heād already been to two jewelers. You, who still blushed when he brushed your hair behind your ear in public.
In all honesty, Youngbae was laughing at his stupidity, whilst Daesung, who was more excited for the proposal then Seunghyun, made a ānoooā as if all hope was over. Jiyong stayed half-quiet, completely shook that he had managed to do that.
His fingers worked quickly once again to type, āwrong number baby, ignore that lol iāll see you after the showā
And suddenly, his friends āYah!ā in protest to his message made him regret sending that.
āHyung that just makes you sound dumb, or that you wanna marry a different girlā Jiyong commented. Of course you wouldnāt think that. You trusted him, but Seunghyun clearly was overthinking all of this.
With a racing heart and a mind full of dread, he shoved his phone into his pocket and made his way to the stage.
Your heart thudded so loudly you almost didnāt hear the lights go down.
Seunghyun performed like a man possessed. Fans screamed, confetti rained, and the entire stadium vibrated with energy. But all he could think about was how youād taken the message.
He caught glimpses of you near the wings a few times, but your face was unreadable. Smiling. Cheering. But were you freaking out? Laughing? Panicking?
Did I blow it? he wondered mid-dance break, somehow still hitting every step. Did I just confess via a wrong chat
The final song wrapped with a group bow. He smiled at the crowd, waved, and said all the right things into the mic. But inside, he was bracing for disaster.
Backstage after the show was a whirlwind. Interviews. Quick outfit change. Water bottles shoved into his hand. He snuck away the first chance he got, slipping into a storage hallway where no one would bother him.
A text from you. Ten minutes ago.
āSo i also might say something stupid? Like yes?ā
He stared at it. Read it again.
Then he let out a shaky breath and laughed. The kind of laugh that came from deep relief and overflowing love.
And thatās when the door creaked open.
You stood there, hoodie sleeves pushed over your hands, your expression unreadable.
āYou sent that text to me,ā you said softly, as if he wasnāt completely aware.
āI know.ā He responded, still gaining his breath back from both the panic and the concert. You looked beautiful. The simple outfit and minimal makeup was the times where he thought you looked somehow more then perfect.
āMeant to send it to the boys?ā You questioned gently, a hint of a smile on your face.
āYeah.ā
āDid you mean it?ā You asked after a beat. Both your hearts racing like it was your first date all over again n
He nodded briefly, āI did.ā
You stepped closer. āSoā¦ was that the proposal?ā The question came out, as you were entirely unsure of what was going to happen.
He blinked. āWait, no. No! That wasnāt it. I had a whole plan, with a rooftop and candles and Daesung was gonna-ā He trailed off as you started laughing.
āYou are such a mess,ā you whispered, eyes shining. āBut I love that mess.ā
He stepped toward you, his hand reaching to tuck your hair behind your ear.
āThen let me do it right,ā he said, quietly. āNot now. Not here. But when itās perfect for you.ā
You nodded, smiling. āUntil then, Iāll just keep pretending I didnāt see that text.ā
āYouāll pretend?ā He asked, looking down at you with a soft smile, one that was real, as if all the relief was finally washing over him.
āWellā¦ maybe Iāll keep the screenshot. Just in case you ever try to back out.ā
Seunghyun grinned. āNow thatās reckless.ā
-
A couple weeks later, when sunset was dawning upon Seoul, and a calmness washed over the both of you.
The rooftop was warm under the fairy lights. Summer had settled into the city, and music from a portable speaker played softly in the background.
Seunghyun stood beside you, eyes shining nervously, and his hand, pinky intertwined with yours, his lips ghosting over your forehead before peppering kisses softly, savouring the sweetness of the moment and the way you looked at him when he pulled away.
āIām not sending this one by text,ā he joked.
You laughed, eyes misting over. āGood. Because I already know my answer.ā
āThe guys wanted to be here but I told them they couldnātā he quietly told you, before he sank to one knee on the ground, his heart full and his eyes full of adoration.
And this time, when he said something stupid- like Will you marry me? - it was the smartest thing heād ever done.

Bollywood News - Screenwriters Advocate for Fair Contracts Amid Industry Crisis
Mumbai, India - In the wake of Hollywood's recent contract battles, Bollywood's screenwriters are now raising their voices against what they deem as "unfair" contracts that stifle creativity and financial growth. The Screenwriters Association (SWA), India's equivalent of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), is at the forefront of this movement, aiming to address the alleged power imbalance between producers and writers in the country's thriving film industry.
Harsh Contracts Stifle Creativity
Anjum Rajabali, a senior member of the SWA, highlights the challenges faced by Bollywood writers, citing the prevalence of arbitrary termination clauses, inadequate fees, and restrictions on approaching the union in case of disputes. The SWA, with over 55,000 members nationwide, recently convened a meeting where prominent writers, including Abbas Tyrewala and Sriram Raghavan, discussed changes they desire in their contracts.
Rajabali emphasizes the need for more equitable contracts, asserting that most producers agree on the necessity for improved pay and job security for writers. The BBC reached out to the Producers Guild of India for comment, but no response has been received at the time of writing.
Echoes of Hollywood Strike Empower Indian Writers
Inspired by the successful outcome of the writers' strike in Hollywood last year, Indian screenwriters are gaining confidence to demand better terms. However, experts note that a strike in India is less likely due to industry dynamics, where relationships play a crucial role in securing work. Additionally, the sheer number of aspiring writers waiting for opportunities contributes to a more cautious approach.
The evolution of writer-producer contracts in India is a relatively recent phenomenon, dating back to the mid-2000s. Previously, agreements were verbal, and payments were irregular. Rajabali points out that as corporate funding increased, contracts became more prevalent but also harsher, exacerbating the challenges faced by writers.
Protecting Producers, Exploiting Writers
Writers argue that some contracts include clauses requiring them to indemnify producers for losses resulting from protests or controversies related to a film. This stems from an uptick in instances where hardline groups target films, citing religious sentiments. Rajabali deems this clause unfair, asserting that writers shouldn't be held responsible for protests against a film after selling the script.
A Glimmer of Hope Amidst Challenges
While many writers face financial hardships and creative constraints, some producers are taking steps to address these concerns. Nikhil Taneja, from Bollywood production company Yuvaa, acknowledges the exploitative nature of current contracts. Despite the inherent risks in filmmaking, Taneja has introduced a rare clause in his company's contracts, linking writers' fees to the project's budget, providing some relief for writers.
Taneja points out the complexity of filmmaking, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of success and failure. He acknowledges that writers deserve better treatment but suggests that industry-wide change will only occur when writers unite to demand their rights.
Looking Ahead: SWA Advocacy Continues
An optimistic Rajabali declares that the SWA will persist in its advocacy efforts, pushing for a minimum basic fee, due credit, and the removal of exploitative contract clauses. As the industry grapples with these challenges, the fight for fair contracts in Bollywood promises to be a long but perseverant one.
In the dynamic landscape of Bollywood news, the ongoing dialogue between writers and producers will undoubtedly shape the future of India's vibrant film industry.
