Everyone gather up.” Doyoung‘s voice made Jungwoo and you jump. Everyone soon appeared in the conference room and sat around the large table, while Ten was putting up the pictures of the victims.

“Three women were shot and found in their homes. Park Aera, aged 67, married to an old famous actor, Song Jieun, aged 64 married to a retired but very successful lawyer and finally Jung Yeona, aged 56 who was married to a surgeon who’s considered to be one of the best, if not the best in our country.” Doyoung started.

“So, for now the thing that connects the victims is the fact that all 3 women were married to very successful men and probably a lot of money.” Yuta spoke up and Doyoung nodded. “Yes, but now no, since the person killed the women and mugged them.”

“That must be the reason for his killings. Maybe he needed money, it could be a junkie or in general someone who doesn’t have a good paying job.” Jaehyun spoke up and Doyoung shrugged before continuing.

“Maybe, however there were no signs of forced entry. No broken windows and nothing on the doors.” Doyoung informed and showed us some quick pictures of the crime scene.

“So the person must have known them” Johnny said.

“But if they were considered higher class, why would they befriend a person of a way lower class and invite them in their house?” Yuta asked.

“It’s not impossible, but we don’t know how these three women could have met this person.” Doyoung reasoned and we all nodded, deep in thought.

“Also, keep in mind that those people kept large amounts of money in safes in their houses, so the person stole their money first, asking them to open their safes and then killed them.” He added and showed pictures of the wide open safes and the bodies of the women laying in the same room with blood all over them and the floor.

“Since the person simply shot those women, it’s obvious that he didn’t rely on anything other than his gun, so it must be someone of their age.”  You thought out loud.

“He didn’t try to choke them or beat them up because he wasn’t in a good physical condition to do so.” Jungwoo added and you nodded, before turning to Doyoung.

“Exactly. We will continue this on the plane, wheels up in 20.” Doyoung announced and everyone got up to gather their things.

 “Yuta and Jaehyun, go handle the press, the rest of you follow me to the crime scene” Doyoung instructed.

“As you can see, no signs of forced entry, no footprints and sadly there were no eye witnesses.” The local head policeman, Taeil informed you.

“The victims were found late at night, so it’s estimated that all of them were killed around 10pm on different days.” Doyoung said.

“Do we know where their husbands were?” You asked and Taeyong shook his head. “We will see them later today so we will ask them.”

--------

“After we finish investigating the crime scenes, we will inform you about the killer, but until then be safe everyone.” Yuta thanked them and left with Jaehyun, everyone coming back to the headquarters after investigating all the crime scenes.

 “My wife was a sweet woman. She hadn’t been in a serious argument with anyone since high school, or maybe even before that.” Park Aera’s husband cried.

“So, you don’t think your wife had any enemies or people who were jealous of her?” You asked and the man shook his head.

“No, definitely not. She was very friendly and selfless.” He replied and sat back.

“Did she have many friends?” Taeyong asked and the man took a second, before answering.

“She had a few close friends, but she was also very social. She could start a conversation with a stranger easily.” He replied and Taeyong looked at you before asking again. “But wouldn’t ever invite a stranger to the house, right?”

“Of course not. Who even trusts people this easily?”

“Where were you, before you found your wife?” Yuta asked Jung Yeona’s husband, but the man looked away.

“Sir, we can’t be of help if you hide things from us. Right now all we want to do is find the person that did this to your wife.” Jungwoo explained and the man gulped.

“I...” the man hesitated and sighed before continuing. “I was with one of the nurses of the hospital I work at. I have to admit I was cheating on my wife, but I did love her.” The man said and Jungwoo nodded.

“Did your wife know that you were cheating?” Jungwoo asked. “She probably had suspicions. I was distant and she was too.” The man relpied

“Do you think your wife would ever cheat on you as payback?” Yuta asked and the man shrugged. “It could be an explanation as to why she was disinterested in our marriage too.” The man said and Yuta just nodded, before exiting the room with Jungwoo.

“If she cheated, then the guy she would be with could have done that.” Yuta said but Jungwoo shook his head.

“I don’t think she would invite him in their house though. She would probably have gone to his house instead.” Jungwoo reasoned.

“Hey, Song Jieun’s husband was barely interested in his wife’s death and mostly cared about the money he lost.” Jaehyun informed the rest of you. “Park Aera’s husband was the complete opposite.” You replied and Jungwoo chuckled. “We got the husband who was a mix of these two, then. He was cheating on her.”

“So far, there’s no connection between the three.” Johnny said.

“We have the basics of the killer’s profile. We will continue informing the police as we gain more details, but for now everyone gather up for the profile analysis.” Doyoung walked past you into a conference room.

“We’re looking for a white male, late 50s to 60s.” Doyoung started. “He must have had a job that isn’t very high paying, so he targets wealthy women around his age or older for their money.” Jungwoo added and everyone took notes.

“He knows all his victims and probably develops a relationship with them. He is charming, flirty and very social.” You continued.

“He seems trust worthy and flies under the radar. No one suspects this person would do something like this.” Jaehyun concluded. “We will learn more about the women’s close friendships soon. For now, increase patrol around the houses of wealthy women.  We will hold a press conference and inform the public.”  He said and everyone left the room.

“Jaehyun go handle the press” Doyoung instructed and Jaehyun complied.

“Call Ten and ask him whether he has found any article about the three women that could help us find out more about their social circle.” Doyoung turned to Johnny, who nodded, calling Ten.

“You have reached the sass master Ten. If there’s anything that you need, I’m sorry but I don’t care.” Ten joked as he picked up.

“Hey sass master, we need you to check any articles written about these women. We need to know about friends or anyone they are close enough to invite to their house.” Johnny said.

“I have already done that and trust me there are many. Park Aera was married to an actor, so there are many photos of her with other people and fans. However, there’s something interesting about Song Jieun,. She was accused of participating in an illegal poker club, but her husband is a lawyer so he covered her.” Ten said and everyone looked at each other.

“Ten, can you check if the women had big money withdrawals recently?” You said and Ten started typing.

“Um, I wouldn’t say big money withdrawals. But they were very frequent, eventually adding up to a lot of money.” He replied.

“Thanks Ten. Let’s go ask them if they knew anything about this illegal poker club.” Doyoung said.

 “I- Am I gonna get arrested if I admit that I knew about this? I never liked poker, but my wife was a little addicted. I tried to stop her but it always led to big fights.” Jung Yeona’s husband said.

“Do you happen to know anyone of the people she met at that poker club?” Jungwoo asked and the man shook his head.

“No, they never revealed their names. They used code names.” The man answered. “What kind of code names?” Yuta asked. “Names from cards. For example King of hearts.” The man replied and Yuta sighed.

 -------

“How are we gonna find them, if we don’t even know their names?” Jaehyun asked. “Don’t worry, we have Ten.” Johnny said and nodded towards Doyoung who was already calling him.

“Ten, make a list of all the people who had frequent money withdrawals.” He instructed and Ten sighed.

“It won’t be of help. I have found about 2000 people.”

“Narrow it down to only our city.” You suggested.

“It already is narrowed down to our city. Don’t forget this is the capital.” Ten replied.

“People in their 50s and over” Jungwoo said.

“212 people” Ten replied and waited for more orders.

“People of high paying jobs or married to people of high paying jobs.” Taeyong said and Ten raised his fist in triumph.

“Now we’re talking. 40 people.” Ten replied.

“Still too many.” Doyoung sighed and everyone was deep in thought.

“Keep the list and check the phones numbers. Did any of them contact any of the three women frequently?” Jungwoo said and Ten typed quickly.

“Narrowed down to 5, all of them are women. I’m sending you their names and addresses. Ten replied.

“Okay, thank you, baby, you were very helpful.” Johnny flirted and Ten giggled. “Call me that more often, will you?” He sighed and Johnny chuckled before hanging up, but no one questioned the two, as you were all used to the two flirting, but still keeping an amazing platonic relationship.

“We met up and had tournaments in each other’s houses.” One of the women admitted to Taeyong.

“Was any man a little too friendly to Jung Yeona?” Taeyong asked her.

“There is a man who is very friendly with every woman. But he is the one who actually started all this and just wants to have more people participate. He is naturally this social.” The woman admitted.

“Do you know anything about the man?” Taeyong asked and she nodded.

“We don’t know names, but I know that he wasn’t married and that he was the head of a famous restaurant.” The woman replied and Taeyong raised an eyebrow. “Was?”

“Yes, he has retired and started these poker tournaments to collect more money and send his daughter to a good university.” The woman replied and Taeyong nodded and got up. “Thank you.” He said and immediately let the others know.

“Ten, search for a head of a famous restaurant, not married, but has a daughter.” Doyoung instructed into the phone. “Found him. It’s Son Jihoon. I’m sending you his address right now.”

 “I’m telling you, I did not kill those women.” Son Jihoon said, but Jaehyun shook his head. “The only reason I ever contacted these women was just to invite them to the tournaments. But nothing else. You can check that I never called them. Only texted them.” He reasoned.

“That doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a secret message hidden in these texts or that you never went to their houses.” Jaehyun said and the man sighed. “Where were you the nights the women were killed?” Jaehyun pressed.

“In other tournaments, since these women didn’t want to participate in any tournament for the past 2 months.”  

“Jaehyun,” You appeared and called out, making him turn and look at you. “We found another body. The rest are heading to the crime scene already.” You informed and Son Jihoon sat back with a smile. “Do you now believe that it wasn’t me?”

 “This is the body of 68 year old Kim Eunji, wife of an old Politician named Seo Sunghoon who died 7 years ago.” Policeman Taeil informed you.

“This woman wasn’t murdered the way the other three were.” Yuta pointed out.

“She was stabbed repeatedly. How can a person in the age we estimated do this?” Jungwoo spoke.

“And the killer was able to get away so quickly, even if police patrolled everywhere.” Taeyong spoke as a matter-of-factly.

“This means that our killer must be younger than what we expected him to be.”  Doyoung said and took out his phone.  “Jaehyun, ask Son Jihoon if there’s anyone young taking part in those tournaments”

“There is a man. But I don’t know his name or number. He was always invited by someone else.” Son Jihoon answered and Doyoung sighed.

“Um,” Jungwoo spoke up holding a book and a piece of paper in his hand. “I don’t think we will need Son Jihoon anymore.” He said and pointed at a rough drawing of a man, drawn by Kim Eunji.

“Quick! Send the picture to Ten.” Taeyong said and Jungwoo complied.

“How did you even find this between so many books?” Doyoung asked and Jungwoo pointed at the book. “It’s obvious that it’s in worse condition that the rest, so I guessed it was her favorite.” He shrugged as if he didn’t do anything special.

“The man you are looking for is Hwang Kwangsoo. He is 23 years old, he has been in the hospital many times because he was bullied by his classmates for being fat and nerdy. He has a membership in a gym for year now and changed his ID photo to a more recent one where it is obvious that he is much thinner now. And his number has contacted all the victims more than once.” Ten said and Johnny chuckled.

“You’re fucking brilliant, you know that?” “Oh, I know, darling, but it took you long enough to realise.” Ten said and hung up.

“I texted Jaehyun and (y/n) the address, they will be there soon.” Yuta said and they all quickly got in their cars.

“Hwang Kwangsoo! FBI!” Jaehyun yelled. “Open the door! This is FBI!” Yuta yelled next but still nothing.

Jaehyun signed to us that he planned to kick on the door. “I’m taking the back with Jungwoo and Taeyong” Johnny said and Doyoung moved closer to you. Jaehyun kicked the door and all 4 of you immediately walked in.

“Clear!” You yelled from the living room and Doyoung repeated from the kitchen. Johnny motioned up the stairs and walked with Jaehyun trailing right behind him.  He opened the door and was faced with Hwang Kwangsoo with his gun on his own head.

“Why do they do this?” Kwangsoo cried. “Kwangsoo put the gun down.” Jaehyun ordered, but Kwangsoo didn’t move. “I tried so hard and they still ignore me. WHY DO THEY IGNORE ME? Why do they ignore me, agent? I am not fat anymore. I dress nicely. I now even have money. What the fuck does a woman want from me? What more do they want?”

“Kwangsoo, put the gun down and let’s talk about it. We will take you to someone who can help you.” Johnny said, but the man ignored him.

“Are you dating anyone?” The man asked no one in particular. “Why is it important?” Johnny asked and the man got up, making Jaehyun and Johnny raise their guns higher and follow his movement immediately. “Because,” the man started and pointed at them. “you are not as attractive as I am and I’m sure you have less money than me. So if you are dating someone, then you have to tell me why women don’t like me!”

“I’m not dating anyone. But it doesn’t matter what I-” Johnny started but got cut off.

“What about you?” he turned towards Jaehyun. “Are you dating someone?” He asked and Jaehyun let out a simple ‘no’.  “YOU ARE LYING TO ME!” Kwangsoo pointed his gun at Jaehyun.

“Kwangsoo, put the gun down now!” You ordered and Johnny looked at you as if you walked in at the worst timing ever, probably because you did. Kwangsoo immediately moved towards you, trying to grab you.

“YOU BITCH! WHY DO YOU NOT WANT ME?” But before he could get any closer, a gunshot was heard, coming from Jaehyun’s gun, who shot Kwangsoo on his side.

Kwangsoo collapsed on the ground, bleeding, his hands instinctively covering his wound, his gun falling from his hand.

“We’re gonna need an ambulance quickly.” Johnny spoke into his walkie-talkie.

Everyone thanked policeman Taeil and gathered up their stuff to get on the jet and finally go home. Taeyong tried to sleep, Jungwoo was finishing up his report on the case and the rest of you simply discussed the case together.

“I couldn’t not shoot him after seeing he tried to grab (y/n)” Jaehyun said to Johnny and he chuckled.  “Why? Were you worried that she wouldn’t be able to protect herself?” Yuta teased and Jaehyun shook his head ‘no’ quickly.

“Hey! I’m perfectly capable of protecting myself!’ You said, but nuzzled closer to Jaehyun’s side.

“Oh, I know. It’s because he was afraid that (y/n) would wanna date Kwangsoo, since he was more attractive and had more money than both of us.” Johnny joked and everyone laughed along.

Jaehyun turned to you, making you look up. “What?” you asked and locked eyes with him. “Will you leave me for Kwangsoo because he is more attractive and has more money than me?” He jokingly asked you and you chuckled.

“If I wanted someone more attractive and with more money, I’d simply date our leader, Doyoung.” You joked and everyone except Jaehyun laughed, Doyoung letting out a “Thanks for the appreciation.”

“Nah, I’m just teasing you, baby” You said and pecked his lips. “EW. I told you no pda at work!” Doyoung grimaced, but you waved him off, kissing Jaehyun again, who just smiled into the kiss.  

"Hey," you spoke up randomly and Chris hummed to urge you to continue talking, without looking up from his phone. When you didn't continue he raised his head and followed your gaze, looking at the kitchen counter confused. "What is it?" He asked after he turned to look at you again with a raised eyebrow.

He glanced at the kitchen counter again, still not knowing what's wrong and when he turned again he found your eyes on him.

"What is it, baby?" He asked again and you shrugged.

"Nothing I just wanted to say hey." You giggled and he smiled, shaking his head.

"Why are you so cute?" He asked and tackled you before littering kisses all over your face.

Summary: Dating Johnny was literally a dream come true, but what happens when he realises that he realises that he has feelings for someone else? And what if you started having feelings for someone else, too?

~~~~~~~

Dating Johnny is such a blessing. Being loved by Johnny is an even bigger blessing. You always considered yourself too lucky to find such person. There were days when you doubted whether you actually deserve him or not.

Johnny is really fun to be around, he understands you, he pays you attention, but doesn’t pressure you. Every day you got to spend with him was amazing. Even with the small disagreements or arguments here and there. You wouldn’t trade him for the world.

You also understood Johnny very well. You could tell if something was wrong by just taking a look at him. So this is how you realized something was really wrong, even after Johnny denied it.

At first, it didn’t seem to be something too serious and Johnny told you he was just a little stressed because of his job. So you excused his bad mood and tried to cheer him up a little.

You knew that Johnny had a really busy schedule, so you never asked to see him, you knew that he had limited free time. You still sent him ‘good morning’ and ‘good night’ texts along with some other comforting words. He always asked about how your day was too. But you could barely meet once a week.

You knew something was seriously wrong when Johnny seemed to never be in a good mood, even after having a whole week to see you. You started to get worried about so many things. You were sure Johnny loved you, so what happened to make him act so distant? Did you pressure him with your daily texts? Did he consider meeting once a week a responsibility?

Every time you asked him, he swore he was just tired and that there was nothing wrong with your behavior. He tried to appear more cheery but you knew Johnny too well and you knew the smiles were fake.

One of the most concerning things was that even when you met, Johnny didn’t kiss you except the ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ kisses. At first you thought the problem was your appearance, but since you always met at your house, you were just wearing you pajamas, wanting to be comfortable.

You started wearing casual clothes, nothing special, but you would look good enough for a walk in the park for example. Yet, Johnny didn’t even notice the difference, since his behavior was still the same.

As if you weren’t stressed about it before, the weekly meetings became biweekly, every other Friday night to be exact. You were considered lucky if you got more than a hug from Johnny in a day. You decided it was time to speak up about it and ask Johnny what his real problem was.

Coincidentally, it was the same day he decided to talk to you about it. But, the problem was something you never expected to happen.

A “We need to talk,” has never hurt you this much in the past.

“First of all, I want to remind you that I love you and this won’t ever change. I love you even if I didn’t show it much. I’m sorry for treating you like that. It’s honestly stressed me even more when I realized. I didn’t mean to change the way I act around you, but there’s something that stops me from acting the way an actual boyfriend should act.” He made a large pause, but that didn’t prepare you for his next words.

“I love you, but I’m not in love with you. What I mean is, I don’t have romantic feelings for you. I love you, but it has faded into a platonic way. But that’s not even the problem, I know that after a certain stage, a relationship isn’t only lovey dovey, it’s about understanding the other person and being able to communicate well. It’s about respecting the other and about being able to live with them. And I felt like we reached this stage and I was fine with that. But, I realized that I started having romantic feelings for another person.” You were sure he could hear your heart breaking. He has now holding your hands in between his, squeezing them tightly.

“And as if it couldn’t get worse, this person is a person we both know and a person I get to see a lot because of work,” he said and you flinched. You tried to free your hands and move away from him, but he didn’t let you. Not before he whispered the name of the person that now had his heart.

“It’s Ten.” And you felt the tears finally spilling from your eyes. Johnny couldn’t look at you after admitting all this. He just stared at his hands that previously held yours.

After a few minutes of silence, you spoke up, even if your voice was shaky. “A-are you two dating?” you managed to ask and he shook his head ‘no’.

“No, I wouldn’t do that while still dating you. I needed to talk to you first.” He softly said and you nodded.

“Are you gonna date now?” you asked, knowing that you wouldn’t get the answer you wanted.

“If he wants to, then yes.” he admitted and you again nodded not being able to say anything.

Johnny suddenly got up and brought you a few tissues and a glass of water. He wiped your tears and waited for you to drink your water.

“I’m gonna give you some time to decide whether you want to see me again or not. But, I would really like it if you were still a part of my life, because as I said, I love you very much and don’t want to lose you.” He said and got up.

“I am going for a walk and to bring you something nice to eat. I’ll be back soon, but you will have the time you usually need to relax. If you don’t want to see me again, then immediately tell me and I’ll leave the food at your door, go home and never bother you again.” He carefully said and put on his shoes, leaving you alone with your thoughts.

You wanted Johnny to be happy. And if being with Ten made him happy then you wished nothing more. But you weren’t sure if you could bear the sight of the two together. But you loved Johnny too much and not having him in your life would hurt you more than seeing him happy with another person.

When Johnny came back with a bag full of your favorite foods and candies, you greeted him with a small smile and let him in, a sign that made Johnny grin at you. You both sat on the couch and Johnny took your hands in his again.

“So what did you decide?” he carefully asked.

“Not having you in my life will hurt more than seeing you happy with another person. I’m not greedy. I love you and want what’s best for you, so if you feel like you’ll be happy with Ten, then I will not stop you.” You said and Johnny engulfed you in a big hug.

“Thank you so much, I promise I’ll never let you down again and I’ll always be here to support you and to love you.” He said and you shed a few more tears, but wiped them quickly.

“I want to be happy for you, so please, if it all goes well and ten agrees, I want to see you two a lot and get used to the idea of you dating. Of course, if Ten is comfortable with this too.” You said and he nodded. “Anything for you, (y/n).”

Ten was shocked after Johnny’s confession, but he admitted he had feelings for him for a long time too and the pair started dating.

It wasn’t long before Johnny decided it was time to grand your wishes and asked you to come pick them up after practice so the three of you could go somewhere nice to eat.

It seemed to be the worst decision you ever made, because as soon as you stepped foot in the room you felt 23 pairs of eyes turn to you, all but 2 pairs, were filled with pity.  Johnny ran to hug you and to spin you around.

“Hi, I missed you” he said and put you down and you could feel everyone stare at the two of you.

“I missed you too” you replied and turn to look behind him, where Ten was approaching with small and careful steps. You must have managed to smile a convincing smile when you met his eyes, because his seemed to widen.

“Hi Ten, how have you been?” You asked kindly.

“I’m good, how about you?” He softly asked.

“I’ve been doing well too. Well, trying, but I think it’s going well.” You joked, but you could feel that your attempt to lighten up the mood and joke about the subject wasn’t exactly appreciated by the rest of the members.

Taeyong broke the long silence by saying that practice was over and the members could go back to their other activities. That was your cue to quickly exit the room, the couple following you all the way to the restaurant without speaking up at all, except from when they had to order.

“I would appreciate it if you told the members to stop looking at me with pity in their eyes. It can get a little annoying, you know.” You said and Ten chocked at your words, but Johnny seemed to not be phased by it.

“They will get used to it the more time you spend with us. I’m sorry, but I’m sure they will soon stop.” Johnny apologized and filled your glass with water.

The next few times you picked the guys up were also filled with awkwardness and it was understandable, but as time passed it got fixed. The boys tried to not stare at you, or to start a conversation on a random topic to avoid awkwardness. They seemed as if they were slowly getting used to you being around and didn’t focus on the situation with Johnny.

You greeted everyone with a kind smile, told them to not overwork themselves and to take care of themselves and they told you the same thing back with an equal amount of kindness. What you missed was the eye roll coming from Xiaojun, right after you left the WayV practice room with Ten. The others looked at him confused and he sighed.

“It’s not that I don’t like her or something, but all this seems too much of an act. She just can’t accept the fact that she loved someone and they didn’t love her back. Personally, I wouldn’t stay around the person that didn’t love me in order to ‘get over’ them or whatever she says. She is dumb for staying around and accepting being treated like that.” He reasoned, but no one spoke up afterwards, not knowing whether they agree with him or not.

It hadn’t been long before Ten and you started meeting without Johnny, an idea Johnny proposed, but never forced you to actually do. Ten asked you to come after practice and to go together at the WayV dorms to hang out.

You walked in and was immediately greeted by a puppy running to you and barking. Ten picked it up and the puppy leaned closer to smell you. “This is Bella, Bella say hi to (y/n). She’s my friend, say hi” Ten rocked Bella and moved a little closer. You let Bella lick your hand and she started wiggling her tail. “Oh, I just remembered! I brought some treats with me!” You said and opened your bag bringing out the dog treats. Ten put Bella down and you crouched to be closer to her level.

You asked her to sit and at first she didn’t listen, not accepting orders from strangers, but then Ten said it at the same time with you and she did. You gave her a small treat and petted her, a small ‘good girl, Bella’ coming from your lips, making her wiggle her tail even more and bark excitedly. From the corner of your eye you noticed a figure moving, Xiaojun coming out a room with Bella’s leash in his hands.

Ten asked her to give him her paw and she did and he gave her another treat. You did a small clap for Bella, which earned a chuckle by Xiaojun.

“I’m taking Bella for a walk, we will be back later.” He said and put the leash on an excited Bella, who barked recognizing the word ‘walk’.

Lucas walked out of a room putting on his jacket. He let out a small ‘what’s up’, which a nod towards you and you did a small wave. Soon, the two of them were out the door leaving you and Ten in the living room.

The conversation seemed to run smoothly, there were a few awkward silences here and there, but it was nothing compared to the first few times you went out with them. Somehow the topic changed to Johnny and it seemed as if Ten got a little bit too comfortable, because he started talking about their dates.

You thought that by talking freely about their relationship would finally help you and that could finally feel happy for them. Ten realized that you didn’t try to change the topic and took it as a sign to talk more freely.

The weight in your heart started getting bigger, but you didn’t blame Ten for anything. He did exactly what you wanted him to do. He talked exactly about the things you wanted him to talk. The more he talked about Johnny the bigger the lump in your throat was getting.

But he was so excited that he could finally talk freely about Johnny that he failed to realize that your face fell the more he talked. When he realized that he had reached too far, it was too late, because he was interrupted by a sob. You couldn’t control it anymore. You put your hand over your mouth and tried to stop, but you couldn’t anymore. All this time, you never allowed yourself to cry about it, wanting to be happy for Johnny. The pressure of all this time came crushing and the tears couldn’t stop spilling from your eyes.

At first Ten didn’t know what to do and just stared at you, but then he quickly engulfed you in a hug. You buried your face in his chest and continued crying. He pulled you close, petting your head and whispering small ‘it will soon be okay’ and ‘let it all out’s.

Your tears were wetting through his shirt, but Ten didn’t care. He rocked you from side to side, until your sobs started getting quieter and quieter. When you finally stopped crying, you slowly moved away and before you could even react Ten’s hands came up to your face, wiping away your tears.

He gave you a comforting smile and offered to bring you some tissues and some water. You nodded, not trusting your voice and leaned back on the couch, letting your eyes close. Ten came back and you whispered a small ‘thanks’ drinking the water.

“I’m sorry for your shirt” you pointed at the wet point on his shirt and he laughed and waved you off. “It doesn’t matter. Do you feel better?” he asked and you nodded. “I’m sorry for being a little too comfortable. I thought you were okay with talking about it, since you didn’t try to change the subject or anything.” He said and it was your time to wave him off. “Don’t worry about it. I wanted you to talk about it and I think that I’m better now, so please try to talk about it again.” You said and Ten nodded.

“Go change your shirt,” you laughed after a small silence and he laughed too. “Okay, I’ll be back in 2 seconds.” He said and run off towards a room. As if on cue, another door opened and Hendery and Yangyang came out. You felt your face getting red, since they probably heard you crying and it was obvious, because of your red eyes.

The boys were holding their two cats and moved towards their bowls, as it was probably time to feed them, but stopped when they saw you. “Do you like cats?” Yangyang asked carefully and you nodded. “Would you like to see them?” He asked again and you nodded.

The boys moved towards you on the couch and sat on each side of you with the cats in their arms. Leon, the cat Hendery was holding, was the first one to move towards you, while Louis at first avoided you.

“Don’t worry about Louis, he just doesn’t trust people easily. But he will like you, Louis only likes good people.” Yangyang jokingly said, earning a chuckle from you and Hendery.

“If Louis doesn’t like me, I’ll cry even harder.” You again tried to joke, but Yangyang gave you a playful stern look, while Hendery let out an awkward laugh. Leon jumped down from your arms and moved towards his bowls, a signal that it was finally his time to eat and that he would start meowing if he didn’t soon get his food.

Ten walked out of his room and saw Leon meowing at the bowl, so he went to get the cat food, a hungry Louis jumping off Yangyang’s lap after hearing Ten open the cabinet. Yangyang followed Louis, leaving you and Hendery alone on the couch. There was an awkward silence after that.

“I’m sorry to ask but, were you crying?” he said softly and you looked away. “Well, yes, but I’m better now.” He nodded. “We didn’t hear you, but your eyes are a little red and swollen. This is how I realized. Oh, your nose too. You’re like… Rudolf! Or, like when it’s winter and you go out and it’s too cold, so your nose becomes red. But the cute way though, you don’t look bad, you look beautiful.” Hendery rambled and you both blushed at his sudden compliment.

“I-I’m sorry. I-I will go with Yangyang now. Have fun with Ten and… I hope you don’t cry anymore.” He awkwardly said and left and you internally laughed at his behavior.

Ten came back, as Hendery practically ran out of the room. He chuckled at his friend’s weird behavior and sat down next to you, putting on a random movie to watch.

After the incident at the WayV dorm it was obvious to everyone that you had gone through a change. You started feeling better, you have talked about Johnny with Ten a few more times and Ten made a bold move to talk about kissing Johnny. That’s when you realized you didn’t mind anymore. You spoke so calmly, joked with Ten about it and laughed when he started blushing.

You could proudly say you were finally over Johnny. Your feelings weren’t toxic anymore. You were finally happy for the couple. Finally happy that Johnny found his happiness in his friend Ten and happy that Ten appreciated Johnny and treated him well.

Now, whenever you hung out with them, you genuinely had fun. You grew so close to Ten, you could practically call him your best friend. After letting him see you in such vulnerable position, you allowed yourself to trust him and open up to him more. He trusted you too, knowing you tried hard to become the person you were today and appreciated you.

In addition, you learned a few interesting stuff about the members, especially the WayV members, among them, you learned about Hendery’s fondness of you.

At first you thought you were just overreacting and his kind comments and slightly touchy behavior was just a sign of friendliness. You had spent many afternoons at the WayV dorm and have been around everyone, so you thought it was just his style of showing that he is warming up around you, just like how Xiaojun started trying to make a conversation with you, as a way to apologise for the way he used to treat you.

But, Ten’s teasing comments whenever he saw you and Hendery act a little more than friendly, made you consider the possibility of Hendery having a crush on you.

One day, you and Hendery were laughing a little too hard at something Hendery said and he made some teasing comment again, being his usual self.

At the moment you didn’t actually pay attention to Ten’s comment, too busy laughing with Hendery, pushing his shoulder as he pushed your legs, before resting his head on your lap, small giggles escaping his lips, as he tried to calm himself down and your hand reached his hair, softly playing with it, your giggles and heavy breathing matching his.

“I guess you’re too busy flirting to pay me any attention, so I’m taking Louis away until you decide to remember our existence.” Ten said again and took Louis from beside you, leaving you and Hendery a blushing mess.

None of you tried to correct Ten and you just looked awkwardly at each other. “Don’t pay him too much attention, you know how much of a tease he is,” you said trying to save the both of you from the embarrassing situation and Hendery just let out a quiet ‘yeah’, before looking away. The situation made you wanna cringe so hard, but you tried changing the topic.

“Ten is probably so done with us having fun without him, so how about we go for a walk and then come back to give him the attention he wants?” You joked and Hendery let out a chuckle. “He is jealous because you don’t laugh at his jokes.” He shook his head and got up sticking his hand out for you. “Get up let’s go for that walk.” He said and you took his hand in yours getting up.

It was surprisingly cold outside and none of you were prepared for it, but it didn’t matter, because you were having so much fun talking with Hendery, that you didn’t pay the cold around you any attention.

However it was obvious that you were cold, because your noses had turned red from the cold. You had sat on a bench with Hendery and you both sat close to each other, trying to warm yourselves up, using each other’s heat.

Hendery was staring at you and you blushed under his gaze. He then looked away, shaking his head, letting out an awkward chuckle. “What?” you asked, confused at his behavior and he shook his head again. “It’s nothing, I just remembered something.” He said. “What is it?” you pressed and he refused to look at you. “It’s dumb.” He said and you pushed his shoulder softly.

“Come on, tell me, you can trust me, I won’t make fun of you or something.” You said and he looked down. “No, that’s not it, it’s dumb, don’t worry about it.” He said and you whined. “Tell me, I’m so curious now.”

“Okay,” he said and looked into your eyes. “I remembered that day you had cried and then I sat with you. Do you remember it?” He asked and you nodded.

“How could I forget that day?” You chuckled, trying to joke, but the serious look in his eyes stopped you.

“Your nose is red again, this time from the cold and it reminded me of that day.” He stopped and took a deep breath.

“You’re so beautiful, even like this. That day, today too and every day in general. You’re so, so beautiful.” He said and you felt your cheeks heat up, as if you weren’t trembling from the cold.

And it was true, you weren’t trembling because of the cold anymore. Hendery was slowly leaning in and you were too. Moments before your lips touched, his warm hand held your cold one, as he laced your fingers together.

You closed the distance between you and suddenly the cold didn’t matter. It was only you and Hendery there. No other people, no kids with scarves and jackets a little too big for them, no parents chasing their kids to take them home, so they don’t catch a cold. Just you and Hendery, your lips softly moving against each other’s.

Your hand held his tightly and he smiled at your cute habit. You tilted your head to the side, deepening the kiss and his tongue asked for permission. You accepted and your tongues came in contact, softly gliding against each other’s. His free hand came up to your cheek, as your hand held his shirt tightly, the excitement from finally kissing Hendery being obvious.

You disconnected your lips and rested your foreheads against each other, smiling like little kids. “It’s a little too cold and as much as I love seeing you become Rudolf, I don’t want you to catch a cold, so let’s go back to the dorm.” He said and you laughed.

“Let’s ditch Ten though, I’m sure he’ll be okay.” You said and he laughed. “Anything you want, princess.” He pecked your lips and laughed at your blushing face, before taking your hand in his and started walking towards the dorms.

Life is full of surprises, some hurt a lot, but others can make you so happy.

"Oh shit" you mumbled and ran to catch the bus. You got in on time just before the door closed and you sighed in relief before looking around to hold on to something. Luckily, you didn't miss the bus and didn't have to wait for half an hour until the next one.  

A few stops later someone's phone started ringing and you flinched at the loud sound of a hip hop song you've never heard of before, but you guessed it belonged to someone out of those standing around you, since it was loud enough. However the phone kept ringing and everyone looked around, but no one made a move to reach into their pockets or their bags. Someone tapped your shoulder and cleared their throat and you turned around to look at them.

"I'm pretty sure this is your phone, Miss. Are you not going to pick it up or at least turn it off? It's getting a little annoying." The woman said and you widened your eyes. "But that's not my ringtone." you reasoned, but reached into your pocket to see a phone ringing. “That’s not my phone!” You thought, but didn’t dare to say out loud.

The phone stopped ringing and everyone sighed in relief, but at this point you were panicked. Whose phone could this be? You got off on your stop and walked home, wondering what to do with the phone. The contact that called was someone named "Felix", but they hadn't tried to call again and the phone was locked and had no emergency contacts.

You thought that someone must have gotten your phone and that you had gotten their phone accidentally. You tried to remember what the people sitting next to you in class looked like, but no matter how hard you tried you couldn't remember.

It was at least someone from your college and shared a class with you. But still, you knew no Felix so you had no idea whose phone it could be. Now, you could either wait until someone called this phone again or find someone to call your phone. Sadly your roommate wouldn't be home until late, because of her part time job, so you decided to go with the first option.

You were sitting in your living room with the phone on the coffee table, charging it so it wouldn't run out of battery and waiting for it to ring. Suddenly, an alarm started beating, sadly it wasn't a phone call and you sighed. Why would someone need an alarm at 8pm with the title "stop"? Maybe that person put am alarm to make sure they stopped studying? Or to stop procrastinating?

After turning off the alarm and 5 minutes later, you flinched at the loud sound of the ringtone you heard earlier today, coming from the phone. Someone was finally calling! The contact was the Felix guy again. You cleared your throat and picked up.

"Hello?"

"Oh thank god someone picked up." A heavy Australian accent was heard.

"Hi, is this Felix?" You asked.

"Um no, I'm the owner of the phone, Chris. I'm pretty sure we accidentally took each other's phones earlier today." he said and you sighed in relief.

"Yes. I'm (y/n) and I'd try to call you too, but my roommate isn't here so I couldn't. Did anyone call me?" You asked and heard a chuckle from the man.

"Yes, but I was so shocked that I didn't get to pick it up. It was someone named (y/f/n) though." He replied.

"That's my roommate and yeah this Felix guy called you too earlier today, but you probably know this. Anyways, um, is there any place you would like to meet up to get our phones back?"  You asked.

"Ah yes, um, it's Saturday tomorrow, so we don't have classes, but I can't wait until Monday to get my phone so if you are free, could we meet up first thing in the morning?" He suggested and you nodded though he couldn't see you, mentally face palming.

"Yeah, I'm free all day tomorrow."

"Okay, cool, we could meet up at this cafe near the entrance, I think it's called "Levanter" and get a coffee or a tea or something. O-or we could just get our phones back and go." he stammered and you laughed.

"I'd never say no to coffee." You replied and heard him quietly sigh in relief.

"Is 10:30 too early?" He asked.

"No, 10:30 is perfect." You replied and kept a mental note to ask your roommate to wake you up.

"Cool, see you tomorrow!" He said and excited and you said your goodbyes before hanging up.

The next day soon came, and you waited outside the cafe, without exactly knowing who you were waiting for. You saw a girl standing a little farther waiting for someone too, but you were pretty sure you spoke with a man named Chris yesterday, so you continued to look around.

A man approached her and you wished Chris would come soon, because you must have looked like an idiot waiting for this long. The man left after a minute and you looked at him confused as he continued looking around. Could that be Chris? He spotted you and shyly walked towards you.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps (y/n)?" You recognized the Australian accent and the voice and nodded.

"Thank god. I just asked someone else and they weren't you and it was so embarrassing" he said and sighed.

"It's okay, you found me now." You chuckled.

"By the way, I lost my phone, so can I have yours instead?" He blurted out the awful pick up line.  

"Oh no, you did not just say that" You chuckled but pulled out his phone from your pocket, handing it to him.

"Oh my god! My precious! Ugh, I've missed you so much, baby, don't ever leave me again." He said and you laughed loudly.

"Wow, it's so cool that you reunited with your baby, but can I reunite with my baby too?" You said and saw his eyes widening, leaving you confused.

"Oh no" He said and you cocked an eyebrow. "What?" You asked and he patted his pocket. "I don't have it" he said and you gasped.

"What do you mean you don't have it?" You screeched but he chuckled.

"I'm joking! Your baby is here." He said and handed it to you.

"You little shit! You scared me for a second." You said and hit his shoulder playfully as he giggled.

"By the way, your pick up line was awful, but I will give you my number." You said.

You sat across from each other after getting your orders, Chris had insisted on paying for your coffee, but you refused and told him to find a table for the two of you, secretly paying for his tea instead and bringing it to him.

"Why did you do that?" He asked after he realized that you tricked him and you shrugged.

"It's okay, you can get me a coffee next time." you said nonchalantly, wondering since when you had this much confidence.

"S-sure" he stammered.

After exchanging phone numbers with him as you had promised, you spoke up.

"Isn't it weird how we have talked on the phone without actually having each other's phone numbers?" You said and he nodded.

"Yeah, it's confusing. But it's okay. It's an interesting way to meet each other and it can definitely be used as an ice breaker with people." He said and you laughed.

"You're right on that. By the way, do you know how much a baby elephant weighs?" You asked and giggled at the thought of your horrible joke.

"Um, I don't know..." he trailed off with a confused look on his face, making you giggle again.

"Enough to break the ice" you said and he groaned.

"This is how you must felt at my horrible pick up line, right?" He asked and you chuckled.

"Yeah..." you trailed off taking a sip of your coffee.

And indeed your joke and your weird way of meeting was enough to break the ice, because you soon found yourselves conversing for hours and arranging to meet up again soon. For sure, it's a story you would share for the rest of your life.

What the fuck isn't Lucas in any of the 7 new songs?????

Is there a reason? Did I miss something?

Or do I have to punch someone?

Chenle, Jisung and Jungwoo are in 3/7 new songs (and I'm certainly not complaining about it)

But Lucas is in NONE.

~~~~~~~

Sicheng’s body moved in sync with mine, hitting every beat of the sensual song coming from the speakers. As we finished our practice, I kneeled down from tiredness, as I felt his presence behind me.

I turned towards him, glancing at his feet and dragging my gaze upwards, finally meeting his eyes. He held a serious expression on his face, no trace of any emotion in his eyes, however, when he held my chin between his fingers, even if his expression didn't falter, I could feel what he felt for me.

He was acting as if I don't mean anything to him, as if he doesn't care that much about me, as if he doesn't want me. Yet, I know he does. I know he cares, I know I mean a lot to him and I know he wants me.

If that wasn't true, then he wouldn't have rushed to my side to inspect my leg for any bruises, in that one practice in the past. He wouldn't have offered to drive me home in case my leg hurt much.

He wouldn’t have ever gotten out of his way for me. But he has done it many times, but it was so subtle, that no one thought anything of it. But anyone that pays close attention to him would know that in fact he isn’t like this with anyone else.

However, Sicheng still kept up the act, his hand dropping from my face at the sound of people approaching the studio, as he moved away from me, leaving me kneeling on the floor watching him move to the other side of the room.

And just like he did, I hid every trace of emotion from my face, even if I was sure that 2 seconds before that, I looked at him as if he was my whole universe.
