⟢　　 HALF 　　 HEART, 　　 ALL 　　 SO(U)L 　　 !

SO(U)L, often stylized as SYOUL by fans, is a fictional seven-member boy group under STRMRUNNER Media—a company created and co-owned by JYP Entertainment and HYBE Corporation—that debuted on DECEMBER 3RD, 2018 with the mini-album Epilogue containing two title songs. prior to their debut, no official information about them had been revealed to the public. the group was formed by a combined number of trainees from both major companies, three from hybe co. and four from jyp entertainment. they quickly became known for their synchronization and stunning live vocals, ranking among the top idol groups in those categories.

however, their story didn’t start there.

originally stepping into the limelight on JANUARY 4TH, 2018, six out of the seven current members would partake in the making and recording of their pre-debut single, Ignorance in Bliss, and released it to the public through both the official hybe labels channel and strmrunner media’s. the song only just managed to pull two million views within the first week of publication but formally introduced the new group as The Soul Project, succeeding in at least getting their name out there. with both companies choosing to not reveal any information about who was to be in the group, and almost acting as if they never existed, the solid fan base they could’ve had dwindled down to just a handful of dedicated people.

Ignorance in Bliss would make its short rounds on social media for the next month, slowing down gradually, before eventually coming to a complete halt. both fans and the companies had moved on by that point, focusing on their current and upcoming acts. it would continue to only be radio silence from here on out.

by october, the seven members still had yet to be revealed, but on the 23rd of that month, an article would make its way into the public eye; specifically on twitter. titled The Soul Search and written by someone under the pseudonym Blanc, the author went into detail about the research they had been doing for the past nine months to find any and all information they could about the group. while they clarified that the contents found were all to be taken with a grain of salt, there was no denying the fact that the supposed track details—and most shockingly of all—profiles containing the names, ages, and even some of the members’ faces, had been leaked.

while strmrunner media made no official comments on the situation, it’s speculated that the group’s debut was moved to be a week earlier than originally planned. hitting the internet on december 3rd with the title tracks Ignorance in Bliss, an overlooked gem, and Back to You, their mini-album instantly became a hit and earned them the recognition they deserved for their earlier efforts and turbulence they faced. the seven would quickly establish their brand as an entirely self-produced group soon after, a way to distance themselves from the management that failed to do anything for them. claiming the titles of all-rounder kings, they’ve gained the reputation for their lyricism, stage presence, and quality concept.

˗ ˋ 🌊 DEEPDIVE ﹕ LINGERING .

❝Did he even exist in her mind, as a living, breathing, thinking person?❞ ― Kristen Roupenian, You Know You Want This

CHARACTERS : NOAH SON … SON ROAN ... JEON HYERIM

WORDS : 3.2K

WARNINGS / NOTES : Grooming. Noah is a victim. Unhealthy Relationship Dynamics. Age Gaps (10+ years). Crying. Confrontation. I probably forgot something but this piece heavily revolves around Noah and his struggle with realizing what happened to him, and what is happening to him, is not right. I would appreciate if yall didn't blame him, haha! Thank you so much for reading! rbs, comments, and asks are always appreciated ♡

Noah will never forget the first time Hyerim showed interest in him. He was sixteen.

He never had time for girls, but he wanted a girlfriend. All his friends had girlfriends or at least a girl around, but never Noah. Noah only had friends but no girlfriends.

He was awkward around girls, especially pretty ones. He remembers he had a crush on Jung Yoonah at that time. He thought she was the prettiest girl in the world and still does, but every time he talked to her, he blushed, and she teased him about it. Clearly, Yoonah thought of Noah like a little brother, not a potential love interest like he wished she did.

Hyerim was the first woman to treat him like a man. She’d sit in his lap. She’d tell him how strong and mature he was for his age. Their conversations would last for hours about things Noah was too young to comprehend fully but thought he could. She was the first woman he had ever been with, his first kiss as well, but he doesn’t really remember it. He doesn’t like to remember it. Noah hates remembering.

“Do you want a cigarette?” Hyerim asks as Noah rests his cheek on her pillow, completely spent from his orgasm. His eyes are shut blissfully with a small nod, feeling her sit up and shift around her bed. She pushes him from his side to his back, making him sigh softly as his lips part. Hyerim slips the cigarette between his full lips, leaning down and lighting it with her violet lighter. His eyes open when the cigarette is lit, blinking tiredly as he takes a drag.

“Can I stay the night?” Noah asks sleepily, his eyes heavy as the cigarette rests between his fingers. From beside him, Hyerim nods, her free hand roaming his chest as she takes another drag of her cigarette. She turns her head towards him, but Noah’s gaze remains on his fingers, watching the cigarette burn between them. He’s so tired, he can’t stand it.

“You can stay forever, Noah,” Hyerim whispers, her lips hovering over his ear, making a chill run down his spine. His deep brown eyes look up at that, turning his head slightly so his nose brushes hers. There’s tightening in his gut at that, a feeling he can’t place but has felt a million times over in Hyerim’s bed. He smiles, dipping his head down to bump their foreheads together for a moment before pulling back. He reaches over to her bedside table to put his cigarette out on the ashtray she keeps there.

When his back is turned to her, he sighs quietly. He fears he might just stay forever, and he fears he won’t mind.

Noah’s hand engulfed Hyunjun’s as he walked his brother into the Angelico building. When he isn’t promoting, Noah picks his brother up from school and drops him off at Roan’s office or at home. Most of the time, it’s in Roan’s office. In the short time they’ve been brothers, Hyunjun has grown attached to Noah, refusing to let him leave if he drops him off at Roan’s apartment, screaming and crying until Noah caves and decides to stay. Noah thinks it’s because Hyunjun doesn’t like to be alone, which has to be genetic at this point. His mother told him stories about the fits he would throw when she would leave him home alone or with a sitter. He hated anyone who wasn’t his mother. Hyunjun hates anyone who isn’t his brother, with maybe the exception of Roan. Noah still can’t grasp if Hyunjun is happy living with Roan, but there’s also nothing he can do about it, even if he isn’t.

“You got your snacks?” Noah asks as they climb up the stairs. Hyunjun refuses to take the elevator. Noah thinks he’s a weird kid for that, but he doesn’t judge too hard. Hyunjin is only 8.

Hyunjun shakes his head. Noah clicks his tongue disapprovingly at him, tilting his head down at him as they wound a corner to walk up more stairs. Roan’s office is on the fifth floor. Noah already feels tired.

“You ate them at school again?” Noah asks, groaning when his brother nods his head. “You only do this to get money for the vending machines, right?” Noah teases, smiling at the boy who looks up at him with a sly smile, giggling. Noah shakes his brother’s small shoulders playfully, making the boy’s giggles bounce and grow. He can’t help but smile at the echoing of Hyunjun’s childish laugh. It’s a rare thing for Hyunjun to laugh no matter how hard Noah or Roan try, but it’s not like Noah can blame him. It’s been a hard year for the little boy.

“Sneaky,” Noah laughs as he opens the door to the fifth floor, letting Hyunjun walk through it first before he follows. Hyunjun puts his hand out to his brother, and Noah easily takes his hand back into his. They don’t need to hold hands for this part; it’s just a straight shot to Roan’s office, but Hyunjun always insists, and Noah doesn’t mind. Moments like this with his brother make it all feel real. They’re brothers. They’re the only ones left of their father. Even if Noah couldn’t stand his father in the end, Hyunjun will always be his brother.

“You need to eat the snacks Roan packed for you. The vending machine snacks will make you fat.”

“So? I’ll be happy,” Hyunjun counters. Noah just sighs. He can’t really argue that, and Hyunjun knows that. Noah rolls his eyes as he digs his pocket with his free hand, pulling out his wallet.

“Yeah, whatever, that’s all that matters, I guess.” Hyunjun smiles victoriously up at Noah as he pulls out a few dollar bills for the boy, passing them to him with two fingers. Hyunjun skips when he snatches the bills from his hand, holding it up like he won a prize. Noah can’t stop the smile that grows on his face at his brother’s happiness, feeling a warmth spread throughout his chest as he watches him celebrate the small victory of a vending machine snack.

“You be nice to Roan,” Noah tells Hyunjun as the stop in front of the man’s office. Hyunjun rolls his eyes at the sentence Noah feels like he’s said a billion times over. Noah grunts dismissively at his brother’s attitude, shaking his head and opening the door to Roan’s office, tugging Hyunjun inside even if he doesn’t have to.

Noah feels indifferent to Roan. He wishes he felt something towards the man responsible for his brother’s wellbeing, but he doesn’t. He’s grateful he’s around and lets them have their time together, but other than that, Noah can’t think of anything to say about Roan. He isn’t even sure how they’re really related, let alone his relation to him and Hyunjun’s father. There will always be an inch's worth of spite that even in his last moments on earth, his father didn’t think of him, but instead of Roan, a cousin he saw a handful of times throughout the year.

When the door opens, Roan’s head turns from his computer to greet the boys with a beaming smile; neither one of them can match. Noah always feels bad that he can’t meet Roan’s enthusiasm, but he at least tries. Hyunjun doesn’t even try. He just sulks over to the corner of the room and drops his bag to start his homework. Roan stares at Noah a bit longer than he should, making him uneasy as he looks around the office. Roan turns his gaze to Hyunjun, who is peeling off his school blazer.

“Hey, buddy,” Roan beams, pushing his chair back to dig in his pocket and pull out his wallet, pulling two five-dollar bills from it. “Why don’t you get us some snacks from the vending machines? Get whatever you want.”

Noah looks at Hyunjun with a knowing look, brows raised as he waits for his brother to tell Roan that he already has money for the vending machines. Hyunjun smiles at the dollar bills, snatching them from his hand like he did to Noah’s earlier and running out of the office without a single thank you.

Noah just sighs through his nose. Hyunjun is such a piece of–

“While I got you here,” Roan interjects his thoughts, making Noah blink and turn his attention towards the man who motions to the chair in front of his desk. It’s not the chair his father once had; he had sat in it a million times before. It’s new and softer looking. It actually looks comfortable to sit in, unlike the cold oak chairs Jinhwa had. Noah looks around for a moment before awkwardly moving to sit down.

Roan smiles at Noah. Noah gives that thing artificial smile he gave him earlier. He doesn’t understand what they’re doing, but when he’s in the office, he doesn’t feel like he has a choice. This office, no matter who sits behind the desk, will always belong to his father. His father’s hands will always be felt pressing hard on his shoulders, and his sharp, callous words will always cut through him, even if they’re just whispers now.

“How ya been?” Roan starts, leaning on the desk to be somewhat closer to Noah. Noah looks around again before shrugging.

“Fine. It’s going.”

“Good. That’s good.” A moment of silence. Noah is urged to check his phone to see the time, but he fights himself, not wanting to seem rude. His hands pat on his thighs instead, filling the room with some kind of noise. Roan abruptly pulls back to open a drawer in his desk and pulls out a file. Noah watches with newfound interest. His brows knitted together slightly.

“I just had a few questions for you about Jeon Hyerim.” Noah gulps, feeling his shoulders tense. He can feel his heart beginning to race even as he tries to quell it by taking a deep breath and shrugging his shoulders.

“What about her?” Noah tries to sound casual, but he comes off as hard and elusive as he always does. Roan opens the file, pulling out a few pieces of paper with blocks of text that Noah can’t really make out, but the length of the paragraphs makes him nervous.

“Well, I’m planning a new boy group to debut this winter, and, of course, they need a manager. Hyerim managed DeepDive pretty damn well until the acquisition, so,” Roan shrugs, letting Noah fill in the blanks. Even as Noah fills them in, his eyes go vacant, staring at the desk in front of him. There’s a tightening in his throat that he can’t ignore, and he hates it. Roan tilts his head at Noah, humming slightly.

“I’ve heard some things about her, though,” Roan starts slowly, staring holes into Noah’s face, but Noah’s vision is blurred from staring at the desk for so long. “Involving you.”

“Woojin’s a liar,” Noah interjects sharply, suddenly coming back to life when he’s hit with the memory of that night.

Noah always thought Woojin talked too much for being such a useless group member. Talent-wise, he was average. The only thing he had was that he was pretty, which is nothing special in this industry. Pretty is the average around here, especially in Angelico. He always spoke about things he didn’t know anything about, especially on those stupid livestreams he used to do. Noah grits his teeth at the thought, biting the inside of his cheek as Roan hums.

“I didn’t ask about Woojin. I’m asking about you,” Roan reiterates. Suddenly, the office feels cold and familiar again. His father is looming over his shoulders with his hands like deadweights on his shoulders, making Noah bite his cheek harder.

“What is you two’s relationship?”

Noah feels like throwing up, and he doesn’t know why. Hyerim is his girlfriend, in a way, not really, but he loves her, and she loves him. She’s always loved him, and she always will no matter what new group she manages or what boys she looks at, she’ll always love Noah the most. She gave him her word on that.

“I don’t think that’s any of your–”

“It is because I don’t want my managers fucking my talent,” Roan interjects again, making Noah hold his breath. Roan forces a smile, shrugging his shoulders. “Conflict of interests. If my artists are her dating pool–”

“I’m not your artist.”

“You’re not anymore, but you were, which is why I’m asking: What was your relationship with her?” Roan says every word slowly as if Noah is dumb. Noah rubs his nose, sniffing as he does so. He avoids his gaze, looking off to the side and remaining quiet as his mind races. There’s nothing he could come up with that Roan probably won’t sniff out as a lie, but stating the truth would only end with Hyerim’s wrath. He rubs his face, abruptly standing, sending the chair skirting back.

“Sit down.”

“Don’t talk to me like that,” Noah huffs, hands on his hips as he starts to pace. Roan’s gaze is relentless, forearms on the desk as he watches Noah like a hawk.

“You’re not–”

“I said: Sit down.” With a simple change of inflection and rise of volume, Noah listens. He sits back down, his leg instantly beginning to bounce as he does so.

He’s not dumb. He knows how people view him and Hyerim, or at least certain people. They tell him it’s so horrible he did that to him, that she should’ve gone to prison, then they ask him if he’s okay and how he’s doing now. Noah hates it. He hates being treated like he’s some victim when he’s the furthest thing from it. He and Hyerim met unconventionally, sure, and maybe the law didn’t see their love as right, but he did, and that’s all that mattered. He was in charge, and he chose to date Hyerim.

Roan’s eyes look at Noah’s bouncing leg, then up at the boy’s face, taking a deep breath through his nose.

“Noah, I’m not trying to make you upset.”

Noah scoffs, bringing his nails to his mouth and biting down hard. He needs a cigarette. He needs Hyerim. She’d know what to do.

“I just want to protect my artists. I want to protect those boys. They’re young.”

Noah was young once, too. He is still young, but he was a child once, probably as young as the boys Roan is speaking of. In a way, Noah still feels that young. He doesn’t feel like he’s gotten any older since he started seeing Hyerim; he's just more tired. Noah sighs, swallowing thickly as he looks at Roan, defeated.

“We’ve been seeing each other for a couple of years now,” Noah finally admits out loud, sighing quietly once it’s finally in the air. He feels tears in his eyes. He doesn’t understand why they’re there, making his throat feel like it’s closing up on him. He wants to leave this place. He can’t stand it here. He can still hear his father yelling at him to man up and that he was lucky a woman like Hyerim wanted a boy like him.

Noah bites the inside of his cheek, pressing the tips of his fingers to his mouth as his eyes stay glued to the corner of the room.

“Is it bad?” Noah asks shakily, “Is what she did bad?”

A part of him already knows the answer, making him sick to his stomach. Roan’s gaze softens as Noah gradually breaks down in his chair, watching the boy hold back sobs that spill from his lips anyway, tears beginning to run down his cheeks.

“When did it start?” That is all Roan asks. Noah figures that’s the answer enough.

“I was sixteen,” Noah whispers, the age finally sounding as young as it actually was and not as wise and mature as Hyerim made him believe it was. “God, I was sixteen.”

He thinks of his brother when he says that. One day, Hyunjun will be sixteen, and Noah will still think of him as a baby. It makes him sick to think about someone twice his age telling Hyunjun everything Hyerim would say to him when he was that age. How could anyone say those things to someone so young? Noah would never do something like that, so why would Hyerim? He wasn’t in charge. He was just a boy.

Roan takes a deep breath, looking at the door behind Noah as if to give the other a moment of privacy as he wipes his tears, sniffling softly to himself. Noah uncovers his face, but he doesn’t look at Roan; just wipes his eyes and swallows thickly with a soft groan. He wants to leave. It’s time for him to go home.

“I don’t want her in trouble,” Noah tells Roan with a loud sniffle, “She–I know–She’s not a bad person. We love each other. I-I don’t want her to lose her job, please.” There’s a pause that makes Noah shake his head.

“She’s going to be so mad. Please, don’t–”

“I won’t fire her, Noah. I won’t even tell her we talked,” Roan assures with a small nod, eyes wide enough to tell Noah the man feels in over his head. Most people do when he even gives them a glimpse of his and Hyerim’s relationship. Noah wipes under his eyes with the back of his hand, nodding in gratitude.

“Thank you. Thank you. She’s…She’s not a bad person. I know it’s-” A million words fill Noah’s head on what he could say to describe him and Hyerim’s relationship: Wrong, inappropriate, unethical. “It’s unconventional, but I love her and she loves me.” Even though Noah is looking at Roan’s concerned face, it doesn’t feel like he’s talking to him. It sounds like he’s trying to convince someone else of the validity of his and Hyerim’s relationship. Roan’s eyes look over Noah’s tear-stained face, clearing his throat as he pushes a box of tissues towards him.

Noah plucks a few out of the box, wiping under his eyes with a deep breath to ground him. He loves Hyerim, he tells himself, and she loves him. They are just two people who love each other. That’s all they’ve ever been: two people who love each other, and that’s all they’ll continue to be. Noah doesn’t see his life without Hyerim in it in some capacity. Whether she’s in the background or the foreground. She’ll always be there, etched into his mind like some ancient text he can’t erase.

Roan watches as Noah composes himself, eyes looking over the boy again before swallowing quietly. Noah stands, running a hand over his face with a clear of his throat, jerking his thumb towards the door as his eyes stay glued to the ground.

“I, uh, I have to go, but can you tell Jun I said bye? I need to…get to the studio.”

Noah has never been a good liar. Still, Roan smiles even if Noah can’t see it, watching as he heads towards the door with newfound haste.

“I hope it all works out for you, Noah.” Noah doesn’t know why those words make his brows knit, feeling a sharp pang in his chest as they crawl into his ears. Despite his discomfort, Noah nods a silent thank you, swallowing down his emotions as he usually did.

When Noah leaves, his hands are still shaking.

☆彡 VIPER is a five member boy group under OCEANA Entertainment. Starting out, their music got little to no attention until they released their hit song ‘Pretty Girl.’ Now, they’re known as the most successful boy group in the company and are constantly praised for the close bond the members share with each other.

☆彡 Members

☆彡 HAN JIHOON was born February 14, 1995, in Seoul, South Korea to a single mother. Being an only child, he grew up with a very close relationship to his mom and constantly took up small jobs to support them.

In High School, he was mainly focused on his grades and didn’t have many friends until a boy in his grade named ’Jeon Hajoon’ befriended him and convinced him to join the school’s dance club. When Jihoon graduated High School, Hajoon begged Jihoon to take him to OCEANA Entertainment to audition as a trainee.

During Hajoon's audition, an employee at the company scouted Jihoon and asked him to audition as an idol. At first, Jihoon refused the offer because his priority was to go to college and get a well-paying job to support his mother. However, after discussing it with his mom, she encouraged him to audition, so he decided to audition as a trainee.

In 2015, Jihoon debuted in VIPER as the group’s Leader, Lead Dancer, Sub Vocalist, and Visual. Known for his sweet personality and beautiful visuals, he gained the title of the Angel of Kpop.

☆彡 JEON HAJOON was born on April 29, 1995 in Changwon, South Korea. From the second he could walk, he was obsessed with dancing and would take any chance he could to dance.

Despite his love for dance, his parents disapproved of his hobby and sent him to Seoul for High School to pursue a higher education. In school, he immediately joined the dance team even though his parents heavily disagreed with him about wanting to be a dancer.

After Graduating, he found himself obsessed with the idea of being an idol and dancing on stage, so he convinced his best friend ‘Han Jihoon’ to take him to OCEANA Entertainment so he could audition to be a trainee. After his audition, he got the news he’d be accepted to train under the company and was planned to debut in an upcoming boy group.

STORYBOOK ENT. REVEALS ALL SEVEN MEMBERS OF NEW MINISERIES, PHANTASIE BOYS

Posted by OmniscientAuthor • January 26, 2024

Throughout the past two weeks, Storybook Entertainment has been steadily releasing each member of their- still unnamed- new boy group, in preparation for the PHANTASIE BOYS YouTube miniseries.

All the current information we have on the members has been sourced from official Storybook Entertainment posts, old social media accounts, and some word of mouth. Here is all of that information repackaged:

Birth Name: Sasaki Shoji (佐々木正治)

Stage Name: Shoji (쇼지)

Birthday: March 4th, 2000

Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan

Ethnicity: Japanese

Nationality: Japanese

Height: 5'10” (178cm)

Face Claim: Osaki Shotaro (RIIZE)

Shoji grew up taking dance classes, and as he grew older, he dreamed of becoming an idol. However, after failing multiple auditions, that dream seemed far out of his reach. That is, until he was scouted in 2021 by Storybook Entertainment. He dropped out of university- where he was studying dance- in order to chase his dream of becoming a K-pop idol in Korea.

Birth Name: Lǚ Míng Tāo (呂明涛)

Stage Name: Mingtao (밍타오)

Birthday: November 3rd, 2000

Birthplace: New Taipei City, Taiwan

Ethnicity: Taiwanese

Nationality: Taiwanese

Height: 6’0” (181cm)

Face Claim: Liu Yangyang (NCT)

Mingtao's father insisted on putting him in dance classes at an early age. This proved useful as the boy would grow into an extremely gifted dancer, being accepted into the National Taipei University of Arts for a 7 year degree programme at just 15 years old. During his time at the school, he had been scouted multiple times but turned down every offer in favour of finishing his education. In 2022, Mingtao finally graduated and moved to Korea to train at SBE.

Birth Name: Lee Jin-Ho (이진호)

Stage Name: Jinho (진호)

Birthday: April 9th, 2001

Birthplace: Andong, Korea

Ethnicity: Korean

Nationality: Korean

Height: 5’8” (175cm)

Face Claim: Lee Heesung (ENHYPEN)

Jinho has seemingly always loved music growing up, as he began learning guitar at only six years old and formed an indie band during his middle school years. After graduating in 2019, Jinho joined a different entertainment company before moving over to Storybook Entertainment in 2021.

Birth Name: Yú Hào Rán (於浩然)

Stage Name: Haoran (하오란)

Birthday: July 7th, 2002

Birthplace: Guangzhou, China

Ethnicity: Chinese

Nationality: Chinese

Height: 5’9” (177cm)

Face Claim: Zhong Chenle (NCT)

Haoran grew up as a theatre kid, but he was also a big fan of K-pop groups like Exo. Thanks to his excellent voice, Haoran was accepted into SM ENTERTAINMENT in 2018. He moved to Korea after that, training with the company for around four years before leaving in 2022 to join SBE.

Birth Name: Jason Lee

Stage Name: Jason (제이슨)

Birthday: September 19th, 2002

Birthplace: Los Angeles, USA

Ethnicity: Korean

Nationality: American

Height: 5’9 (177cm)

Face Claim: Choi Taeyang (P1Harmony)

During Jason's highschool years, he danced both in and out of school, and his love for performing made him dream of becoming an idol. When he finally graduated in 2020, he joined JYPE and trained there for three years, even working as a backup dancer during the later years of his stay. Jason moved to SBE in 2023.

Birth Name: Yang Do-Won (양도원)

Stage Name: Dowon (도원)

Birthday: December 2nd, 2002

Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea

Ethnicity: Korean

Nationality: Korean

Height: 6'1” (185cm)

Face Claim: Yoon Hyunsuk (CIX)

Despite being encouraged to play sports like basketball due to his height, Dowon prefered to spend his free time writing raps under stage name YONDER. He auditioned for SBE with a self written rap in 2021 and was accepted into the company.

Birth Name: Kim Tae-Joon (김태준)

Stage Name: Taejoon (태준)

Birthday: August 11th, 2003

Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea

Ethnicity: Korean

Nationality: Korean

Height: 5’9” (175cm)

Face Claim: Park Sungho (BOYNEXTDOOR)

Kim Taejoon is an ex-child actor and model who disappeared from the entertainment industry in 2020 and has been completely MIA for the past three years, except for a few public sightings. According to the official post, he became a trainee in 2021, but there is no other information about him regarding his trainee life or his history in dance/singing.

﹙ ⏳ ﹚ ׅ ׅ ׅ CHRONOS SEVEN is a south korean boy group managed by HYBE LABELS, debuting on march 11, 2019. the current lineup consists of SAMUEL, MINJUN, DAEHWI, QIAN &&. EVERETT. the group is well known as “txt’s brother group”, but never quite reached the same success. originally debuting with two additional members – LEE and ELLIE, who would depart only three days after debut – chronos seven, also referred to as CROSS, would release their debut single ICE AGE exactly one week after txt.

the boys are well known for being self-produced, as hybe put them on the backburner after their initial hype died. every now and then a release of theirs goes viral, with their most notable releases being TURN BACK TIME and FANTASIA. their sound is nothing short of unique, with the group being acclaimed for following their own trends instead of focusing on becoming mainstream. this has, however, caused a rift between the group and potential listeners.

the group are also well known for their lore, which fans refer to as RIFT VALLEY. it follows the story of five time travellers who are separated into many different timelines, and trying to reunite by collecting time crystals. each comeback further develops this story, with creative director MIYU ISHIIDA assisting in moving the story along. despite this, chronos seven is hybe’s most lackluster group.

SYOUL PROFILES

(the unserious but also equally as serious ver.) not proofread but this might get deleted later anyways lmfao

warnings: mentions of food, child neglect, manipulation, swearing. lmk if anything else.

ISEUL: cuddle bug first, idol and songwriter second. the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; knows manipulation and performs it well. too soft for the liking of others however, and is often stuck between the conflicts of not being enough of a man. born to slay, forced to nay. another tale of time wasted at a company who wouldn’t even look his way for a mere minute lmfao. could’ve debuted on two separate occasions but the higher ups said “nope!” and well. here he is now. people pleaser #1; was born to puppet strings and will continue to be tied to them until he decides to cut them off, even if he thinks he already did.

OLIVER: born to “Rawr XD”, forced to “Grrr Bark Bark Alpha male-core”. haunted by the wolf that lurks in his family’s past. protective to the point where he can be overbearing—depends highly on the situation—but would lay his life down for this little “family” they have going on. outcasted for most of his childhood and trainee days; school messed him up a lot. my bad. but fuck them, there’s no way any of that can reach him now. right?

SEOJUN: tired #1. the stone pillar with no visible cracks until you knock a hand against it to find it hollow. the product of absent parents and being a witness to their favouritism for his older brother. despite that, the two of them are extremely close. simultaneously needs a lifetime supply of coffee and to be cut off from caffeine entirely. the glue of the group and is the main one to set his foot down. will not stand for any injustice and is a little too venomous when it comes to protecting his group; sometimes his defence turns into more of an attack, but what’s the difference when the group is the main topic? is sick and tired of the doubt and comparison, even more than seven. he’s just better at hiding it.

MARS: the sanest one by technicality but doesn’t seem like it. someone who tries so hard to be loved and is constantly searching in all the wrong places. touch starved and really just needs a good hug and to be told he’s doing amazingly. the exuberant one who puts himself out there because he’ll do anything to have this group survive. sm 100% regrets letting him go; he was willing to do whatever they wanted of him if it meant his efforts were recognized even a little bit. it’s funny because he loves dancing and is damn good at it but the old management didn't want to classify him as a dancer so they wrote him for every position except for dancer.

KJ: tired #2. punishes himself for a childhood he had no control over; nothing was his fault but in some ways, it was. literally a wet cat caught in the rain. looks nice enough to help out but might bite and hiss if you try to give him an umbrella. is overly cautious when it comes to being shown kindness; please don’t mind the side eyes and the calculating glare, he’s trying to accept it as such i swear. has like. has 2-3 close friends outside of the group and really doesn’t plan on making more unless you’re really persistent. doesn’t look all too threatening but you better watch out if you get him mad; that’s a whole territory no one has seen before. venom in his words is his main weapon and he’s damn good with it too.

RYO: can do no wrong in everyone’s eyes. the nicest out of the entire group and also the most forgiving. the willing dog counterpart to oliver’s feral wolf like nature. people pleaser #2 and would show his belly without a second thought. stupidly trusting, but not naive. if that makes any sense. the second punisher. carries a guilt so deep, you’d have to remove his heart to get it out of his system. none of it was his fault; they told him otherwise.

SEVEN: angsty babygirl coded. a pack of fireworks if they were shaped into a human; he’s not dangerous compared to dynamite when he blows, but it stings nonetheless. at least he’s pretty though. will play nice until you decide to stop. but like, his definition of playing nice when it comes to people he’s wary of is batting them around with his claws slightly out. or ig in this case, spikes out bc um he’s so hedgehog coded to me. or orange cat. both work. he’s just prickly. the second best facade next to seojun; his is just a little bit more crackable if you know where to push.

#i. 　❝ ... now i'm free. ❞ 　﹕⠀ profile.#fictional idol community #fictional idol group #fictional idol oc #fake kpop boy group #fake kpop group #kpop oc #kpop addition #oc kpop group #idolverse #fake idol group

˗ ˋ 🌊 DEEPDIVE ﹕ TRY TO UNDERSTAND !

❝I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.❞ ― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

CHARACTERS : NOAH SON … BAE KIWOO

WORDS : 3.1K

WARNINGS / NOTES : Noah's working through something. Suggestive (?) They kiss. Briefest discussion about sex. Crying. Minor Selfharm mention, it's nothing graphic. Figuring out sexuality. If I missed anything please let me know! I wrote something more than 1K!! Woo!!

Noah takes a shaky breath as Kiwoo sits in front of him on his bedroom floor. Noah has his back against Kiwoo’s bed, knees bent up to his chest with space between them. His cheeks are wet and his headaches from how hard he’s trying to not make a sound as he cries. Noah knows he sounds pathetic when he cries.

Kiwoo watches him, round eyes scanning over the elder’s face before settling on Noah’s hands. They’re balled into tight fists, hard and heavy beneath Kiwoo’s palms. Kiwoo is gentle, rubbing his palms over the top of Noah’s fists, taking a breath through his nose as he does so. There’s a lump in his throat, one that weighs heavy and makes him unable to talk. He knows what he wants to say but he just can’t do it.

Moonlight seeps through Noah’s window being the only source of light in the room. It makes Kiwoo’s pale skin glow, making him look like a beacon of light in front of him. He honestly reminds Noah of a siren. A siren who has yet to sing to him but is calling him with his eyes. Noah’s too scared to go, he’s too scared to move, he’s too scared to do anything. He just stays and lets Kiwoo rub his hands against Noah’s.

“You’re so tense,” Kiwoo whispers, flipping his hands over slowly by his wrists so Noah’s clenched hands face upwards. “You don’t have to be with me.”

“I know,” Noah whispers, looking at how Kiwoo’s hands wrap around his wrists. His hands are small compared to Noah but everyone is small compared to Noah. Noah sniffles.

“It’s not easy for me.”

“That’s okay,” Kiwoo whispers, his doe eyes watching Noah’s face so that he’s the first thing he sees when he looks up. “It’s not for a lot of people.”

“I–” Noah stops himself, swallowing down what he was going to say before looking up at Kiwoo. Kiwoo stares back at him, gaze soft and patient like it always is. Kiwoo is so gentle, Noah thinks. His hands slowly release the nothingness they were holding onto so harshly.

Kiwoo’s gaze drops to watch Noah’s fingers unlatch from what they desperately held onto, seeing the red imprint of where his nails dug into and broke the skin. The sight makes him swallow, gaze flickering back up to Noah’s face. Slowly, Kiwoo lowers his head, never breaking eye contact with Noah as he does so, pressing his lips to fresh cuts on his palm.

Noah watches closely, feeling his heart rattle in his chest harder and harder with each passing move, wondering what Kiwoo will do next. The younger lifts his head, moving himself closer to Noah to where he’s just between his legs but not close enough to be chest to chest.

Noah can feel the urging for that inside of him. He wants to hold Kiwoo by his waist, he wants to feel his body pressed against his own, he wants to know how soft his skin is beneath his palms, he wants to feel his l—Noah has to stop himself. He’s never let himself indulge in the thought of kissing a boy even though he’s thought about it plenty of times.

It’s just a thought he’d push down by finding a girl to kiss. Something is keeping him from ever going further than just a second thought of a boy's lips against his, he doesn’t know what it is but it scares him. It scares him deeply, actually.

Slowly, Kiwoo takes one of Noah’s hands and places it on his cheek. It’s not like they haven’t touched each other before, they’re quite touchy now that Noah thinks about it but not like this. Never like this.

Noah feels himself stiffen up slightly, feeling Kiwoo’s soft and dewy skin beneath his stinging palm. He just washed his face, Noah can feel the moisturizer still seeping into Kiwoo’s already glass-like skin. Noah swallows, keeping himself still and waiting for Kiwoo to make all the moves. It’s better that way, he thinks, then there’s no room for him to mess up.

Though he already feels like he’s messing like he’s doing something wrong.

There’s nothing wrong with being gay. Noah knows that and he firmly believes that. He was taught to love everyone even if they’re different than you and that’s what he did, what he still does. He loves everybody unless given a reason not to. That’s all Noah thought the feelings were, just love.

It wasn’t until he got older did he think maybe it was a different kind of love but he always swallowed it down. In a way, he used Kiwoo to soothe the pestering feelings. Kiwoo is always there, Kiwoo always wanted to hold his hand, look at him like he was the only person in the room, and fall asleep on his chest. While doing those little things with Kiwoo helped quell the confusing feelings inside him, it also made them louder.

Why did he like holding Kiwoo so much? Why did he play with his hair well after he went to sleep? Why is it so easy for him to talk to Kiwoo about his feelings when he can barely get the words out to the girls he’s supposed to be in love with? Noah doesn’t understand. He can’t stand not understanding.

“I’m…I think I’m scared,” Noah whispers, causing Kiwoo to nod in understanding.

“That’s okay,” Kiwoo whispers as he slowly puts his hand on Noah’s chest right over where his heart hammers in his chest, confirming for Kiwoo that it is a really big moment for the boy in front of him. “It’s okay to be scared, Noah. I won’t hurt you,” Kiwoo assures as he presses his hand harder against his chest, pulling himself to be in between Noah’s legs fully with their chests bumping together.

Noah nods as Kiwoo takes his face into his hands. His hands are soft like they always are. Kiwoo’s touch always did something to Noah that he’s never been able to explain. He felt warm and safe all at the same time. It feels rare for Noah to feel completely safe, especially with another person around. Only a few hold that honor but Kiwoo is the only one still around.

Kiwoo strokes Noah’s cheeks lovingly, his thumbs tracing circles around his cheekbones as he watches his face. Noah still isn’t looking at him, his eyes cast downwards to lock on Kiwoo’s chest. Kiwoo feels his large hands move to his waist, making him smile warmly at Noah even if he doesn’t look at him.

“Noah,” Kiwoo whispers, feeling his own heart beginning to pound in his chest. Noah slowly adverts his gaze to Kiwoo, stuttering on his own breathing. Noah feels like he’s about to cry again, his eyes shimmer, and his bottom lip trembles softly. Noah takes a deep breath, blinking up at Kiwoo as he holds tighter onto his waist.

“Can I kiss you?” Kiwoo asks softly, staying still as he waits for the other’s answer. “You can say no,” Kiwoo quickly adds but his voice never raises in volume. Noah squeezes Kiwoo’s waist again, swallowing thickly before slowly nodding.

Kiwoo cups his cheeks when he leans in, slowly and cautiously pressing his lips to Noah’s. The kiss is gentle and soft, it feels like something Noah has never experienced before because it is. He’s never kissed a boy let alone like this before. There are so many emotions flooding through Noah’s body, he can’t keep up with how he feels. He doesn’t know how he feels.

Noah feels hot like a great inferno has been set off inside him and is consuming his entire being. It makes him lean in, pressing his lips harder against Kiwoo’s. The other moves with him, holding onto Noah’s face a bit tighter as he begins to move his lips against his. It’s like something snaps in Noah and he can’t control himself anymore, pulling Kiwoo flush against his chest and pushing Kiwoo on his back, following him immediately afterward. Kiwoo only gasps slightly at the change in positions but welcomes it eagerly, wrapping his arms around Noah’s neck to keep him close as Noah slots himself between Kiwoo’s legs as if he belongs there.

If Noah’s being honest, kissing Kiwoo is like kissing a girl but better. It fills that yearning he swears he’s been feeling for years at this point. His lungs feel like they’re about to explode but he can’t pull himself away from Kiwoo’s lips, he doesn’t want to. For the first time in his life, Noah feels like he’s made the right choice.

Noah pulls away to gasp for air, letting his head fall on Kiwoo’s chest as it rises and falls. Kiwoo puts a hand in Noah’s black locks, running his fingers through them. The touch sends shivers down Noah’s spine, filling him with the urge to kiss Kiwoo all over. He wants to know what every inch of his body feels like beneath his lips. He’s never felt a craving so strong before in his life.

Noah doesn’t even think before lifting his head and attaching his lips to Kiwoo’s neck. Kiwoo’s back arches into Noah’s, fingers tightening in his hair with a soft moan at how messily Noah presses his lips against his skin. He’s eager and sloppy but Kiwoo doesn’t care––If he’s being honest, he likes it that way. Noah is reeks of inexperience but desperately wants to learn and Kiwoo can’t get enough of it. He wants to teach Noah everything.

“Noah,” Kiwoo gasps when the elder bites the tender skin of his neck, digging his heels into his carpet. “Take–Take my shirt off if you’re going to leave marks,” Kiwoo tells him between pants, smoothing his hair down Noah lifts his head with a nod. Noah pushes the fabric of Kiwoo’s loose shirt up to reveal his toned torso. Noah’s seen that shirt before on a different boy, maybe Jisung or Woojin but he knows it isn’t Kiwoo’s.

“This isn’t your shirt.”

“It’s not yours either,” Kiwoo quips without missing a beat, making Noah smile softly at the boy before dropping his head on Kiwoo’s chest. Kiwoo digs his nails into Noah’s broad shoulders when he feels his lips drag across the canvas of his chest, breathing heavily every time Noah’s lips venture too far down.

Noah nips and bites at the skin above Kiwoo’s ribs just to hear the sounds he makes. They’re airy and quiet but loud enough to make Noah’s dick twitch in his pants. It shouldn’t shock him half as much that this is turning him on, not after all the various types of porn he’s consumed over the years. Why this revelation is even somewhat shocking to him is only shocking to Noah.

“I want–” Noah stops himself as he lifts his head, he’s silenced by Kiwoo pushing his hair back without missing a beat. It’s so natural like it’s second nature for him. Noah feels his words stuck in his throat, swallowing thickly as his eyes scan over Kiwoo’s face. Kiwoo raises his brows, keeping his gaze on Noah’s lips before his pretty round eyes flicker to Noah’s.

“Want to what, Noe?” Kiwoo whispers, stroking his cheek sweetly before resting on the side of his neck. Noah just stares at Kiwoo, eyes wide yet hazy. Kiwoo is a boy. A pretty boy. Noah feels nervous again, making him swallow thickly, blinking at Kiwoo with a deep breath.

“I want…to kiss you.” Kiwoo smiles at how he asks, he sounds nervous but it fills him with joy that he asked. Kiwoo nods, batting his lashes at Noah with a hum.

“You can kiss me,” Kiwoo tells him with a smile, bundling the boy’s shirt in his fists. “Can I take your shirt off?”

Kiwoo doesn’t think it hurts to ask. Noah laughs quietly before nodding. Kiwoo smiles brightly to pull his shirt over his head, licking his lips when Noah’s muscular torso is on display just for Kiwoo. It’s just them in Noah’s room but it feels like they’re the only two people in the world. Kiwoo pushes Noah’s hair back and out of his face, smiling when he sees the boy clearly. Noah can’t stop himself from smiling down at Kiwoo, dipping down and pressing their lips together.

Kiwoo hums into Noah’s mouth, running his hands down the expanse of his back and feeling the muscles ripple beneath his fingers. Noah pulls back, eyes shut with a sigh as their noses brush against each other. Kiwoo watches Noah’s face, finally seeing him look at peace. He rubs the back of Noah’s neck, making his head drop on his chest.

There’s a quiet that washes over the room, filling both of them with a blissful peace that has never graced their house. Kiwoo thinks the new house is haunted; he's not sure by what but there’s something dark in it, something that makes it feel empty. He wishes it didn’t feel that way. For the first time, he feels like the group is whole again but their home is so empty. He doesn’t understand.

“Are we, um,” Kiwoo looks around with a deep breath, “Do you want to fuck me, Noah?” Kiwoo is always crass when it comes to things like this. He sees no point in being indirect especially when Noah already seems confused enough.

Noah lifts his head with a sigh, blinking up at Kiwoo almost looking stunned Kiwoo would ask. The stunned look on Noah’s face makes Kiwoo blink back at him, a silent look of confusion.

“I’m getting mixed signals here.”

“Sorry. Sorry–Um…I don’t know how to do that.”

Kiwoo feels his lips quirk up in a smile as a laugh begins to slither from his throat. Noah laughs softly, making Kiwoo let his laughter out. The pair laugh together quietly, Kiwoo covering his mouth with the back of his hand. Noah shakes his head between chuckles, looking down at Kiwoo before pressing his face into the other’s shoulder.

“We don’t have to fuck,” Kiwoo hums as he wraps his arms around Noah’s waist, eyes fluttering shut. The carpet is coarse beneath him, unwelcoming against his weight but he doesn’t care. He would lay on a bed of rocks to keep the feeling of Noah on top of him.

Noah is so warm and heavy, putting just enough weight on him that it feels like he can’t breathe properly but not like he’s suffocating. He completely covers him like a weighted blanket he never wants to take off. Kiwoo has always liked Noah, loved him even, but he never thought they’d end up here together.

If Kiwoo is being honest, he’s lonely. It’s been so long since someone he’s genuinely liked has touched him that Noah’s touch feels like a brisk breeze of a hot day. He’s almost forgotten what it’s felt like to like the people you’re kissing. That’s his own doing he assumes. He should put his phone away after 1 AM so he stops making questionable decisions out of loneliness.

“I can feel your dick against my thigh so I thought I’d offer,” Kiwoo says nonchalantly with a shrug, playing it off like he did everything. Noah thinks Kiwoo is so cool. He wishes he didn’t care about things like Kiwoo appeared to. “Doesn’t matter to me. I just like having you around.”

“Really?” Noah sounds shocked. Kiwoo tilts his head at him like he’s dumb because the question is dumb.

“We’ve been friends for eight years, Noah.”

“This isn’t friend stuff,” Noah points out and Kiwoo just hums because he’s not wrong. This isn’t what friends do. Still, that doesn’t quell the urge in either of them to kiss again.

“I–I don’t think I can fuck you,” Noah admits. Kiwoo shrugs like it’s nothing but there’s a wave of disappointment in his chest. “Yet. Maybe one day…I don’t know.”

“Don’t move too fast,” Kiwoo tells him seriously but his voice is still gentle, “just take your time with this. It’s all about you.” Noah smiles softly at those words. It’s been a while since it’s been all about him. Usually, Noah takes care of other people. That’s how it's always been. In a way, he’s always been a co-leader in the group. He takes care of everyone and expects nothing in return.

It feels good to be taken care of for once.

“Can we lay down? On the bed?” Noah asks. Kiwoo nods, lifting himself on his elbows as Noah climbs off of him and onto Kiwoo’s bed. Kiwoo follows shortly after, burying himself under his blankets and wrapping his arms around Noah’s torso. Noah easily wraps his arms around Kiwoo, shutting his eyes peacefully. Everything is so calm when they’re like this.

“We do this a lot,” Kiwoo blurts after a few beats of silence, lifting his head slightly to look at Noah whose head rests on his pillow.

“We sleep together a lot. You hold me a lot too. You never thought…Maybe you liked boys?” Kiwoo wonders genuinely.

Kiwoo has always known he’s gay. He’s never looked at a woman and felt romantic feelings towards her. When he was younger and all his friends got girlfriends, he decided to get one too. Subin. She was sweet and quiet, they were friends before they started “dating” if you could even call it that. The furthest they went was a peck on the lips that just didn’t feel right. That was the confirmation for him but deep down he always knew.

Subin knew too apparently. Everyone else assumed as well. Kiwoo didn’t appreciate that part but he can’t blame them he supposes.

Noah shakes his head, watching Kiwoo before stroking his cheek softly with the pad of his finger.

“I just…I don’t know. I love you. You’re my best friend. I thought best friends did this kind of stuff,” Noah admits with a small shrug as Kiwoo listens to every word.

“I love everyone like this.”

That sends a pang of aching through Kiwoo’s chest but he ignores it. He’s not the only one Noah treats like this, he knows that, but it still makes him unbearably jealous inside. Kiwoo nods, his finger tracing shapes on Noah’s bicep.

“You don’t do this with Finn, do you?”

Noah shakes his head, making a face.

“I do it with Yebin though. We don’t kiss or anything but we sleep together and stuff,” Noah shrugs as Kiwoo feels another wave of jealousy rush over him. It’s an internal battle to not sigh in annoyance.

“I’m the only one you kiss, right?” Kiwoo’s brows raise the question. Noah chuckles softly, making Kiwoo smile at him. Noah cups the boy’s cheeks, pulling him closer so their noses are touching.

“You’re the only one,” Noah whispers, “I promise.”

𓂃 ₊ ˚ %. ! LOOBII is a boy group consisting of five members, starting from a line-up composed of 7 members, the group used to be a new version of their ❝ sunbae ❞ group BULLE7, but the debut of the seven members failed due the leaking of the info made public by an anonymous source, who apparently was close to the staff members.

To be exact, news surrounding a new boy group under DASK RECORDS were going for months, so when a suspicious table note was revealed, reading the name ‘ CARA7 ‘ fans weren’t surprised, the stage names of the seven members who were going to be part of the group were also revealed. This raised contrast between the Korean and international netizens. Although fans acclaimed the new group and were happy for the new boys, other insulted the company for debuting a group ‘only’ five years later NYX’OR’s debut, who at that time was leading the generation and gaining a very strong fanbase. For this reason, DASK RECORDS decided to stop the preparations for their debut and postpone it, but the group would later disband.

The sudden disbandment of the group before even their official debut was — obviously — not well received by the members, three of them choose to leave the company and only four members were willing to continue to be part of the line-up. At this time the company opted for a 5-members boy group.

It took several months to chairman Kang Hanbin to find the final member of LOOBII, who also became the youngest of the group, the skills of the 17-year-old young boy who wasn’t even a year old trainee was inevitable to see, for this reason he gained immediately the spot in the final group line-up and finally, the group was now a perfect piece of beautiful and talented people.

❪ ⌕ . ❫ ' OO. ㅤ ﹕ PRESSURE⠀!⠀⠀⠀[ . . . ]

i cannot make you understand. i cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside of me. i cannot even explain it to myself.⠀–—⠀from, "The Metamorphosis"

✶ . CHARACTERS: eun hwaseong & ian moon. ✶ . WORD COUNT: 2.2k ✶ . WARNINGS: swearing, jealousy, drug use, & fighting. ✶ . NOTES: seunghui & doyun are in my wip boy group. written in two hours instead of finishing the conclusion of my anthropology thesis, might be a little academic vocabulary-wise in the beginning. jarringly inconsistent usage of present & past tense.

There is something to be said about pressure. An all-consuming smothering that has the capacity to produce diamonds or dust.

Hwaseong loved the feeling of that smothering pressure.

He liked the duality of feeling trapped in his own head but protected by the knowledge that he’d come out on the other side.

He was raised on the adrenaline of everything being on the line— his mother’s entire career was revived in an instant with a carefully executed smile on Hwaseong’s behalf. He was performing on stage, entertainment for politicians and important celebrities, before he could properly assemble reliable memories and expressions of the rush of emotions he felt every time he stepped up into the spotlight.

Training at Apricus was a breeze compared to the level of perfection his mother instilled in him as she oversaw his tutoring sessions. Accustomed to the expectation of excellence and motivated by the tense scrutiny the executives placed upon potential debuts, in Hwaseong’s mind the only reason he hadn’t debuted sooner was because of how young he was.

Karin had a weird aversion to debuting anyone under the age of 16— the rule hadn’t been broken for a single artist under the label. He figured it had something to do with the contract she was under when she had first debuted, though he had never thought to ask.

Ending up on the survival show was a sigh of relief for the Seoul native. The gesture— he believed, was supposed to be a true show of their faith in his talents and marketability. Seven years of dedication at the age of 17 was more than most of the others on the show could boast about. Sure, he figured it would be just as much a challenge as it was a reward for his hard work. But he figured being chosen for the show was much more a formality than a true test of his charisma and bare minimum ability to carry a tune.

The offense he found in the selection of the other boys had been a selling point in his arc throughout the show. He was filmed scoffing at Sanghyuk’s long hours spent practicing over and over and over in the dance studio Hwaseong knew had the best acoustics. He rolled his eyes when Carter struggled to find the right words to thank the judging panel’s gracious oversight of his horrendous pronunciation. His teeth gritted in annoyance as he bit back insults directed at Jioh every time he hurled whatever it was he ate before his confessionals.

But none of them got under his skin the way Ian Moon managed to.

Their disdain for one another had been well documented throughout the show. In Hwaseong’s eyes, Ian was nothing more than a pretty boy who had only made it onto the show as someone else’s replacement. Hwaseong had never bothered to ask why Ian had similarly brushed Hwaseong off so early on, in truth he didn’t care much for the reason.

The two’s highly publicized mutual distaste had managed to pique the interests of the producers who incorporated the tension between the two into nearly every episode.

Genuine statements of “Thank you for the opportunity, I’ll try harder” from Ian were met with censored insults from Hwaseong. And as the distance between their rankings continued to grow throughout the first half of the series, Hwaseong only felt emboldened by his disdain for the Texan former athlete.

“I don’t get it. Yeah, he was put on the show ‘cause he’s pretty, but so what?” Doyun laughs as he watches Hwaseong’s careful surveillance of Ian’s revisioning behind the glass separating the two of them.

“Pretty sells,” Seunghui agrees, nodding at Doyun’s words, gently nudging Hwaseong’s shoulder. With a scowl, Hwaseong reverts his eyes from the sight in front of him. Turning to the other two instead.

“Dude’s a smug asshole. Trained for a few months— as a joke, by the way. And he ends up on the shortlist for a boy group because what— some middle school girl thought he was hot?” Doyun and Seunghui exchange a glance before dissolving into shared laughter, falling into each other as Hwaseong broods to himself.

“Careful, middle school girls are about to fund your whole career.” Doyun hums, lips downturned into a pout as he taps at Hwaseong’s cheek sarcastically.

“Isn’t your sister in middle school?” Seunghui chimes in curiously, finally catching Hwaseong’s attention.

“What if Dasom's part of the middle school girls that petitioned for Ian to be on the show?” Doyun muses, bouncing off of Seunghui’s good-natured teasing of their older friend. With a piercing side eye, Hwaseong chooses to ignore the two’s musings.

“He’s lucky Jaehee’s personally mentoring him,” He mentions off-handedly.

Doyun and Seunghui’s confusion is enough for him to continue fueling his own jealous ruminations.

“He’s in there with her right now, bastard—”

With a rumble of chuckling from the other two, Hwaseong’s eyebrows furrow in confusion, briefly releasing him from his ranting.

“Jaehee offered to give pointers to anyone who got to her during the break before filming resumed,” Seunghui explained with a shrug of his shoulders.

The corners of Doyun’s mouth curled in amusement as they watched Hwaseong try to run through the endless instructions thrown at them over the hours they had already spent filming that day.

“I—” He begins, only to be cut off by enthused Doyun.

“He’s not the bastard between the two of you either. His dad’s just dead, yours is a whore.”

The act of filming the show was quite possibly the most dreaded part of Hwaseong’s routine for the latter half of 2013. He concealed yawns and distasteful jokes behind the heads of the other contestants, only stepping into view of the camera when it came time for him to prove his worth to the judges seated in front of the remaining trainees.

Regardless of his intentional aversion to the camera, the producers always managed to find him when he and Ian were at their most heated. Volatile exchanges heightened into agitated bite-backs which bled into almost any mention of the one contestant that could unnerve Hwaseong at the mere sound of his name. He never thought it to be a coincidence that the two of them happened to find themselves within minimal feet of one another, entering confessionals as one exited, performing one before the other.

But the producers had never made their thirst for conflict more obvious than one of the last days of filming.

Against all— mostly Hwaseong’s— odds, Ian had managed to squeeze his way within reach of the final lineup. A final solo performance of each of the 10 trainees remaining would be the determination between debut and elimination. Doyun and Seunghui had been eliminated weeks ago. Hwaseong wasn’t surprised as much as he was peeved. For some reason, the show just couldn’t shake Ian.

“Yo, what’s your fuckin’ problem with me, dude?”

Hwaseong knew Ian had issues with his temper. It was a plot point emphasized over and over by the producers throughout the taping. He had a short fuse and a burning desire to get even. Hwaseong figured it to be leftover rage from the injury that removed the possibility of achieving the dream he’d had since he was a young boy. Sanghyuk had let it slip that Ian’s father was an abusive surgeon— an oxymoron that made Hwaseong’s head hurt so bad he brushed it off and never thought about it again.

“Does it matter?” Hwaseong snarks in response, the corner of his lip curling in his quip. Three words are all it takes for Ian’s eyes to light up brighter than Hwaseong had ever seen before. A fire suddenly erupted from a spark he didn’t know was there.

“Yeah, it does Hwaseong.” Ian hissed, fists and jaw equally tense, clenched in restraint. He glances at the other trainees who slowly begin to pay attention to the tension breaking between the two boys.

“Whatever Ian. The show’s almost over, you’ll be able to go home and forget about me in about three days.” His words are delivered with a scoff, a roll of his eyes following shortly after.

“Are you threatened by me or—” That was enough to set Hwaseong off. The fire spreading to his much darker eyes, launching him forward to stand eye-to-eye with the American.

“Threatened?” He all but spat the word out, as if an insult to his existence. “You’re so full of shit. We both know the only reason you’re here is because Jaehee wants to keep the pretty boy with the funny accent around.”

There isn’t a moment of pause before Ian grabs at Hwaseong’s shirt, throwing him to the ground before Hwaseong or any of the other spectators could react. As Hwaseong scrambles to rise to his feet from the frigid floor beneath him Ian smirks at the clear panic in his eyes.

“What’s it like to be so fucking pathetic that no one bothers defends you?” The amusement in his eyes sends a shiver down Hwaseong’s spine as he finds himself unable to tear his attention away from the vocalist towering over him.

“What’s it like to be so fucking cowardly you have to beat the motivation out of your competition to win at anything?” Hwaseong’s words are coated in venom as he returns the insult. “You’re not making the group, Ian. No one wants you here.”

With that, a blur of yelling and bodies shifting in Hwaseong’s vision clouds his perception. He barely registers the others struggling to restrain the older boy from grabbing at the younger. The ringing in his ears from the weight of the built-up resentment between the two of them culminates in a smirk that Hwaseong can tell infuriates Ian to his core.

Through gritted teeth, held back by both Sanghyuk and Carter, Ian musters a strained, “Fuck you.”

With a saunter to the door of the practice room, Hwaseong speaks up with one last taunt. “Take care of yourself, Ian. Send us a postcard from Texas.”

If Hwaseong believed in a higher power, he was sure God was enjoying making Hwaseong eat his words. Over the next three days, Ian had not only turned half of the other contestants against the show’s youngest trainee but had managed to squeeze his way into the final lineup.

As if by some sick twist of fate, Hwaseong watched the group’s final member claim the last spot in the quintet, that signature cocky smirk of his plastered across his praised features. When he catches Hwaseong’s eye from his spot at the other end of the line— Sanghyuk and Romeo providing a necessary buffer between the two with starry eyes and blinding smiles, Hwaseong can feel his stomach twist with a chill so nauseating his smile is wiped from his face. His knees buckle underneath him, catching Carter’s attention who finds the situation so gratifying he leans over to whisper a carefully enunciated, “How’s it feel, dumbass?” under his breath.

With disbelief etched into his expression, mistakenly read as gratitude, Hwaseong trends for the next week.

“Do you remember that fight we got into?” Ian chuckles lowly, slowly taking a hit from the lit blunt in his hand. He shakes his head as he remembers the moment that irrevocably changed the course of his life. He exhales after a moment, watching the smoke fill the empty air in front of his nose before slowly dissipating into the Seoul night sky. Ian shifts to take a second drag before passing the blunt to Hwaseong, sighing slowly.

“Yeah, made you eat shit in front of everyone,” Ian responds, a dimple coming to rest on his cheek, turning to watch Hwaseong as his lips closed around the blunt between his fingers.

“Shut up. You did not make me ‘eat shit’”. Hwaseong answers, the smoke leaving his mouth in a sudden stream.

“Yeah, I did. I beat your ass and made it into the final lineup.”

The younger man’s eyebrows furrow in disagreement, “You did not beat my ass, Ian.”

As he reaches for the blunt, Ian playfully hums, “Still made it into the lineup.”

Hwaseong scoffs with an eye roll, “Last.”

With an exhale Ian simply mutters, “How bad does your ass still sting?”

The two share a lazy chuckle, eyes drooping as they recall the memory differently. Rising with a grunt, Hwaseong brushes off the comment casually, “Whatever, dickhead.”

Mirroring with a grunt of his own, Ian gently soothes the younger man’s temperament, “You love me.”

Receiving a grumble in response, Ian watches Hwaseong turn to unlock the door of their dorm to reenter the shared space in the early hours of the morning.

Stopping him with a sudden urgency he asks, “Wait, do we look high? I don’t need Sanghyuk on my ass tonight.”

Hwaseong offers a snorted chuckle in response, receiving a furrowing of Ian’s eyebrows. “Doesn’t matter that you look high when you smell high.” After a brief moment of blank staring on Ian’s end, Hwaseong continues toward the door, fiddling with the door knob.

“I smell high?”
