Fan

Mae runs into another idol when walking around Japan

A/N: Remembered this drafted existed and wanted to finish and post lmao

Mae walked with a pep in her step. Yuta and Mae were walking back to their hotel after their mini tour around Tokyo. Considering that Mae had never been to Japan before, Yuta wanted to take her around the city.

“Ahhh that was so fun.” Mae said stretching. They walked around the whole day so Mae was feeling a little tired from their adventure.

“I’m surprised you haven’t asked for a piggy back ride yet.” Yuta said amused, walking beside her.

“I’m not that tired but if you’re offering...”

“The opportunity has passed but next time.”

Mae pouted but pressed on. As she walked, she felt entranced by all the lights surrounding her. 

Pictures could never compare when you see and walk around the whole thing. She was so distracted she didn’t even notice the person in front of her until she bumped into them. 

“I’m sorry!” Mae said, quickly apologizing to whoever she bumped into. She heard the boy start to apologize but slowly came to a stop when she lifted her head up.

Looking at him closely, the first thing she noticed was his short blond hair and his emerald green eyes. The second thing she noticed was the starstuck look in his eyes. Noticing Yuta beside her, his eyes got widered.

Fans usually had the same expression when they noticed one of them. Not that she minded, as long they were respectful of their boundaries.

“Ah, you’re NCT.” He stuttered out. It was actually really cute how starry-eyed he was.

“Guilty as charged.” Mae said, rubbing the back of her neck with a sheepish smile. Strange enough, Mae felt like she he recognized her from somewhere. 

Narrowing her eyes, she tried to rack her brain to remember who he was. The boy drew back noticing her gaze. 

“Uh, did I do something wrong?”

“Aha!” Mae exclaimed, as a lightbulb lit up in her head. “You’re ALKALOID’s Aira Shiratori, right?”

“You know who I am?” Aira said in disbelief, wondering how someone like Mae would know someone like him.

“Ah, he was one of the members of that band you couldn’t stop blasting the music too.” Yuta said amused.

“Exactly! I loved listening to you guys sing Kiss of Life!” Mae said, grabbing his hands on instinct. In her excitement, she barely noticed that that the boy froze or the fact that she was speaking Korean.

“Miyoung I think you’re scaring him.” Yuta said, pulling her back from the poor boy. He wasn’t even speaking coherent sentences, more like broken words. He swore he heard a “I don’t understand Korean” among it.

“Ah sorry!” Mae said, letting Aira’s hands go, prompting him to move again. “I guess I was a little too excited.”

“It’s fine, I was just a little surprised.” Aira said, a little dazed at the encounter. He couldn’t believe this was happening to him. 

Mae checked her watch and her eyes widened. Her and Yuta were supposed to be back at the hotel room soon.

“Ah! We have to get back to the hotel soon, but is it okay if we could take a photo real quick?”

“You want to take a picture with me?!?”  

“Of course!!!”

After a stuttered “Yes,” the group shuffled to the side to take a quick photo on both of their phones. Aira wanted to speak more, but a call from his name distracted him.

“Thank you and I hope to see you again! ALKALOID Fighting!” 

Aira could only watch as the two watch away waving before disappearing in the crowd. He didn’t even realize he standing in the same spot until his red-haired friend went beside him.

Bonus:

“Ahhhhhh! I can’t believe what happened!!!” Aira exclaimed. “I never want to wash these hands ever again!!”

“Isn’t that unsanitary?” Hiiro said confused. He just wanted to find his friend after he wandered off. “Who was that anyways?”

“This is why you need to learn more about idols!!!”

“To Us” made me cry bro

‘To Us’

From Yuta to Mae

Hey Miyoung.

I know that I’m not the only one who thinks that you are a sense of strength for 127.

You always try your best to cheer everyone up when things get tiring, even if things are hard on you as well.

I know that you have a lot of worries, despite how much you try to hide them from us.

I feel like I haven’t been able to help you as much as I should be, and for that I’m sorry.

But know that I, as well as everyone else, will be here to stay by your side, as long as you let us.

You are a light that  I don’t want to darken, and a fire that I hope continues to burn bright.

From Mae to Taeil

Where do I even begin?

As one of the youngest members of the group, I’ve always looked up to you. 

Whether it be about your vocals or the way that you take of everyone, I’ve always thought you were amazing.

 From the start as trainees and now as members of 127, I’ve always held respect towards you.

Although I always joke around you about my brothers, I know we all know that you’ve basically become family to me.

I’ve always appreciated the moments where you comfort me when I’m down, or make me laugh when I’m sad.

I hope that we continue to stand by each others’ side for the rest of our lives and even the next.

Don’t worry I’ll take care of you in the retirement home too, okay?

Now that I’m less sleep deprived, I can say while Haechan was upset that he missed RenMae first kiss, the group had the time of their lives teasing them when they woke up

Mistletoe

A flustered Mae makes a fun Christmas present

Time: December, 2021

A/N: it’s like 1am and I just finished this now so enjoy

“All I want for Christmas is you~”

Mae hummed as the song played in the background, making hot chocolate in the kitchen. Christmas had always been one of her favorite holidays, so what better way to celebrate than to hang some decorations.

The Dreamies were having a little party together at the dorm to celebrate their a successful year without their older members.  

Mark, Haechan and Mae had to escape from their older members so they could all have the time together with the eight of them.

Wrapping paper was stuffed into a bag after they opened their presents. While there were a few gag gifts, like Chenle giving Jaemin a cup with strawberries on it, all the other presents were very sweet and appreciated.

Everyone was spread around the living room, choosing to sit on the couch or on the floor.

Mae placed the hot chocolate on the table, making her way onto the couch as she watched Chenle and Jisung argue about what Christmas movie to watch.

It’s been almost ten years since the two met and they haven’t changed in the slightest.

"Just choose one already!” She heard Mark exclaim, a hint of fondness in his voice. 

Mae took her spot next to Renjun, taking a sip of her drink before cuddling next to him.

“I don’t think we’re gonna be watching anything soon.” She whispered, watching as a soft smile form on his face.

“I had a feeling this would happen.”

In the corner of her eye, Mae could see Haechan and Jaemin whisper to each other, pointing at her and Renjun every so often with a grin. Haechan seemed to be holding something behind his back.

She nudged Renjun and gestured towards the two, making him narrow his eyes towards the duo.

Ever since Mae and Renjun got together, everyone has been making it their mission to tease them or express digust towards the two.

Before they could do anything, Haechan disappeared to the hallway, probably going back to hide whatever he was holding. 

If the grin Jaemin had said anything, she knew that it wasn’t something good.

But it was Christmas, so she could let something like that go for now.

Eventually Chenle and Jisung settled for The Grinch, moving their way to their spots on the floor.

Jeno quickly turned off the music and settled to his spot next to Haechan, who had came back empty handed and stole some popcorn.

It didn’t take long for everyone to get sleepy, the movie quickly becoming background noise.

Mae yawned as she stepped over a snoring Jisung, turning off the TV.

As much as she was tempted to go back to the couch, she preferred going back to the comfort of her bed.

Considering the look on Renjun’s face, who seemed to be the only one awake, he seemed to think the same.

Mae leaned towards him as they walked back to their rooms, stopping in front of her bedroom.

Just as she was about to say goodnight, she noticed something hanging on her doorframe.

A single clover of mistletoe hovered about Mae and Renjun.

That must have been what Haechan was hiding earlier before the movie.

Mae’s eyes darted from the mistletoe to a flustered Renjun, who was rubbing the back of his neck.

“Well, we can’t exactly avoid tradition, can we?” Mae blurted out, suddenly wide awake.

Despite being a couple for a few months already, the two of them hadn’t had their first kiss yet. There simply wasn’t a good time and place for it to happen.

She was about to apologize before she felt a hand rest on her cheek, looking up to see Renjun gazing at her softly.

Time seemed to slow down as the two of them leaned closer to each other.

The kiss was short and sweet. Mae wrapped her arms around his neck as he put his hands around her waist to bring her closer.

Mae felt a grin form on her face as she felt Renjun smile into the kiss.

When they broke apart, she couldn’t help the lovesick expression on her face while she looked at Renjun.

“Well, that was a great Christmas present.” Renjun said, making Mae giggle.

“As pleasant as that was, I think it’s time for me to sleep.” Mae said, walking into her room.

Renjun followed after her, the two of them settling comfortably on Mae’s bed. He gave her a kiss to her head as he pulled her closer to him.

Mae closed her eyes and buried her head into his chest.

“Merry Christmas Mae.”

“Merry Christmas Junnie.”

Nap

Byeol gets tired after practice

Era: 2020, God’s Menu

Byeol plopped onto the floor when the choreographer ended their dance practice.

Byeol wouldn’t call herself someone who tires easily.

If anything, she could be on the same levels of everyone else when it comes to energy.

Today seemed like a good day to counter that argument.

Maybe it was because she didn’t have a lot of sleep last night, but Byeol seemed a bit more tired than usual.

And when Byeol gets tired, she gets more cuddly then usual.

Byeol closed her eyes, wanting to take a few moments to catch her breath.

After a few moments, she felt a poke to her side.

She opened one of her eyes, seeing Hyunjin extending one of his arms towards her.

Byeol immediately grabbed it, grunting as he pulled her up and latched onto his body.

Hyunjin gave a slight tug to separate them, to no avail.

“You know you have to let go so we can get our stuff.”

“....”

He sighed as he saw Byeol pout, already accepting his fate. 

It wasn’t like he hated Byeol’s clinginess. Every member has had this happen to them at least once and while they appreciated the affection, it did make things a bit inconvenient.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get your guys’ stuff.” Chan said, patting his back and ruffling Byeol’s head.

By now Byeol had shifted behind him, pressing her head onto Hyunjin’s back.

He gestured her to jump on his back for a piggy back ride, which she gratefully accepted.

Byeol snuggled into his neck, tightening her grip on him as Hyunjin adjusted himself.

“I’m sorry for being clingy.” She whispered into his ear.

“It’s okay. We know how tired you are.” Hyunjin whispered as they walked towards the elevator.

He knew that Byeol wasn’t able to sleep well lately, so he was going to help all he could to make sure she was getting the rest she deserved.

Byeol nodded and closed her eyes.

Hyunjin could hear her breath steady as she slowly fell asleep and little snores filled the air.

A gentle smile appeared on his face as the group made their way downstairs and towards their car. They moved slowly, trying their best not to way the sleeping girl on his back.

It was times like this where Hyunjin forgets that Byeol is older than him.

He was very happy that he was someone that she could rely on, even on small moments like this.

Shopaholic

Byeol has a shopping problem

Time: 2022

The Korea Sale Festa, the Korean equivalent to Black Friday.

Or in Stray Kids’ opinion, the time period where all of Byeol’s restraint get loose and works on impulse.

Currently, Byeol was in the living room, putting things in her shopping cart as the other members watched her.

“Noona I think you have a shopping addiction.”

“Let’s not talk about that Jeongin-ah”.

Since going outside would have a bigger chance to run into paparazzi, Byeol tended to spend more time to shopping online than in person.

When the pandemic started, the habit got even stronger.

Did she need more clothes than she already had?

Probably not.

Is she spending a lot of money?

Possibly.

But if the cash isn’t being directly handed and the serotonin that shoots in her head when she buys something says anything, it means she won’t stop.

“I’m just getting a head start on Christmas shopping.” She said, trying to justify herself.

“You say that every year but I don’t think Chan hyung would appreciate floral dress under the tree.” Seungmin said amused, taking a seat beside her.

“I thought we’ve stopped trying to stop her when even Manager hyung gave up.” Chan said, taking a sip of his drink.

Byeol flushed when he mentioned their manager.

Every member and their manager tried at least once to try and get her to spend less money, to no avail.

“I can’t believe Byeol became an idol just to spend her money on shopping.”

“Will if make you feel better if I close my laptop?” She asked, putting a hand on the laptop for emphasis.

“You’re just going to open it again when you go back to your room.” Chan pointed out.

“....That’s not the point.”

“What if we just change the passwords to all her shopping accounts?” Jisung joked, plopping next to her.

Byeol punched him playfully and continued on.

It wasn’t her fault that clothes look pretty and wanted to buy some for herself. She can always find space in her closet to fit it all.

Besides, it was just a bit of selfcare for her.

Okay maybe she did have a bit of a problem.

It didn’t stop her from adding a few more things to her cart though.

“Done!” She exclaimed, pushing the checkout button and finalizing her purchase.

“Wow, I can’t wait for the pile of cardboard that’s going to build by our door.” Seungmin said dryly, “Wouldn’t be the first time it happened.”

“At least Felix doesn’t spend this much when he plays Genshin.”

“Byeol does though.”

“No I do not!"

Byeol does not whale when she’s playing Genshin or any other gacha game, despite others complaints.

If someone asks if she’s a dolphin or a minnow, that’s a different story altogether.

A/N y’all shouldve seen me on black friday trying to figure out what I should by and seeing all the shit online

Lullaby

Melody has trouble sleeping

Time: 2020

Melody blinked.

Once. 

Twice.

Three times.

The white of her walls seemed to be mocking her as she couldn’t find it in herself to go to bed. 

The others have already gone to bed, if the lack of light she could see underneath her bedroom door could mean anything.

Melody turned over and looked at her clock, groaning as the glaring 3AM stared right back at her.

She was glad Eric got rid of that demon alarm that shook the entire dorm.

Melody didn’t understand why she couldn’t sleep.

She even tried to count sheep but that didn’t work either.

Melody sighed and got up from bed, tiptoeing her way outside her room.

The boys were asleep in their rooms and considering that they shared the rooms, compared to Melody having her own, she didn’t want to risk waking the entire dorm up.

She quietly shuffled to the kitchen, searching for something to eat for a late night meal. 

Was ramen at 3AM a bad idea? 

In her sleep deprived state, Melody didn’t seem to care as she opened the pack and quietly cooked her ramen.

To her credit, she was surprised how quiet she managed to be while cooking the ramen on the stove.

When she deemed her ramen ready, she turned off the stove and put the ramen in a bowl, crouching down on the floor to eat her food.

Melody hummed, satisfied with how her 3AM meal tasted.

“What are you doing?”

She nearly choked on her noodles when she heard the voice behind her, whipping her head around to see a concerned Jacob standing behind her.

“Why are you here?” Melody whispered, getting up from her position and placing her bowl on the counter.

“I heard you in the kitchen and wanted to know what you were doing.”

“What are Superman or something?”

The pointed look he gave her was enough for her to know he was serious.

“I couldn’t sleep so I thought it would be a good idea to get a snack.” Melody admitted. She was never able to lie to Jacob often.

“You should tell us if you’re having trouble sleeping,” Jacob said softly, examining the bags forming under her eyes,”It’s not good if this happens often.”

“I know...”

Jacob was silent for a moment and Melody could tell that he was deep in thought.

“How about I sing you a lullaby?” Jacob offered, cutting her off before she could snap him out of his daydream.

“I’m 22, not an 8 year old.” Melody said to him.

“C’mon, think of it like we’re back as trainees.” Jacob said, ruffling Melody’s hair with a smile.

Melody felt the corner of her lips rise for a second.

She used to have trouble sleeping as a trainee, more so than now, despite being exhausted from all the practice she did to prepare for their debut.

Yet, whenever Jacob sang to her, he always managed to lull her to sleep.

Her sleeping got better as more time past so Melody didn’t need it, but it seemed that today was an exception.

“But the dishes-”

“I can wash them after you go to bed.” Jacob persuaded, tugging her towards her room.

Despite her silent protests, Melody allowed him to drag her to her room and tuck her into her bed.

“I feel like a kid again.” She said amused, snuggling into her blanket.

“You act like it despite being only one year younger than me.”

Melody slapped Jacob playfully, the man chuckling as he sat down on Melody’s bed.

She closed her eyes when Jacob started singing, focusing on the boy’s soft voice.

조금 더 Step Step Step 나비처럼 난 조심스레 다가가 또다시 밀려나

Soon enough, the soothing voice started lulling her to sleep, her breathing starting to steady and she felt sleep creep up on her.

“Sleep well Melody.”

It’s Morphing Time! [221031]

Three power rangers walk into a practice room-

Era: 2022, Halloween

The live starts in an empty room in frame as more viewers trickle in

M:It’s Morphing Time! Go Go Megaforce!

B:Magic Force! Mystic Force! Mystic Power!

ML:It’s Morphing Time! Pterodactyl!

One by one, Mae, Byeol and Melody shouting out catchphrases and posing until all three of them were visible on camera, fully masked up

The girls started giggled after they broke formation and took off their masks

@/triplethreat: am i dreaming?!?!

@/MMandB: THEYRE THE PINK RANGERS

@/oneinamillion: MY PAST AND FUTURE ARE COLLIDING

B: Wah, the chat is going by fast

ML: Should we properly introduce ourself to the people watching?

M:Oldest first~

Melody sighed and mumbled under her breath before looking at the camera

ML: Hello, I’m The Boyz, Melody

B: Hello, I’m Stray Kids’ Byeol~

M: If you’re on my account you probably already know me but

M: Hello, I’m NCT’s Mae!

The three of them sat in a line as the comments started pouring in fast

ML: You guys are surprised, right?

B: So were we ㅋㅋㅋ

Melody picked up her phone so she could see what was going on

M: I texted the girls my costumes so I could show them my costume

M: But apparently we all had the same idea

Byeol pointed accusatorily towards Mae

B: They’re always copying me

M: What are you talking about

@/ncityinthehouse: i can feel an argument coming already

@/dreaminadream: they’re so cute

Melody sighed as she watched the two of them bicker and tried to calm the two of them down to some avail

Eventually the two calmed down enough to focus back on the chat

@/candyland: Melody looks like she’s used to this 

@/luckynumber3: she looks like she's aged fifty years

ML: You have no idea everyone!

Melody let out an exaggerated sigh 

ML: I don’t need hair dye to have gray hairs now

B: You know you love us unnie ㅋㅋㅋ

Byeol and Mae snuggled up next to Melody, causing the girl to smile

@/singsangsung: it’s cool that you’re three versions of the pink ranger

M: I know right?!!?

Mae perked up, excited to talk more about power rangers

M: We talked about how each of the power rangers we’re dressed up as is the season we grew up with as kids

B: I was actually going to be the blue ranger, but Chan convinced me otherwise

B: Melody you said you really liked the pink and blue ranger from Mystic Force too right?

Melody nodded excitedly

ML: Vida and Madison Rocca if you're ever visiting Seoul please come visit us~

Mae stood up from her spot on the ground and picked up her weapon

M: Should we try dueling?

Byeol and Melody jumped us and grabbed their weapons as well

B: Let’s go!

The three of them went to different sides of the practice room before running towards each other and “attacking” each other

The scene looked really cute as the girls continued laughing as they “fought”

Eventually the three tired out and walked back to their original spots on the floor

ML: I won~

M: You wish unnie

Everyone caught up with their breath as they continued reading the comments

@/girlsontop: maybe next year you can go as the whole group

ML: That sounds fun! Monsters won't have a chance against us

Melody turned to the group with a thinking face

M: Dibs on Red Ranger!

B: Why do you get to be the Red Ranger??!

M: Because I'm the sunbaenim!

B: You're still the youngest!

The two immediately started bickering again, much to Melody's dismay

Melody didn't even bother trying to stop them and instead focused on the chat

@/threeofakind: uh oh the girls are fighting again

ML: Anyways everyone, what is everyone's dressing up for Halloween?

Melody watched as the chat poured in all of the costume ideas, mentioning a few that caught her eye

At this point, Byeol and Mae stopped arguing and joined Melody

The costumes were ranged from cute and simple to silly and extra

Apparently, some people had the same idea and went as monsters

B: Wah, someone's entire friend group is monsters?

M: Do you...want to fight us?

Melody laughed and pushed Mae playfully

ML: Meet us at the rooftop of SM Entertainment

B: We meet at dawn next week

A whisper from the side interrupted their giggling

M: Everyone! Melody unnie and Byeol unnie have to go to another schedule

B: It was nice seeing everyone!

The three girls nodded to each other and took out their morphers

ML: Ready?

M, B: Ready!

M, ML, B: Rangers Together, Friends Forever!

M, ML: B: Happy Halloween!!!!

Leaving

[Part 1 of What If?]

Era: 2019, Post Black on Black

Mae stood in an empty meeting room, head in her hands, trying to process what just happened a few minutes ago.

"While we can try and deal with the rumors, but with the way things have been going now, I think the best option going forward is to remove you from NCT."

Remove her from NCT? 

Over a false rumor that someone that hated her?

She thought this was a nightmare. There was no way she was going to be leaving the family she joined when she was just a kid. Not when things were going so well for everyone. They had just finished promoting Black on Black, and she was preparing for the last NCT Dream comeback with Mark.

The Dreamies....how could she ever break the news to them when one member is already leaving them?

This had to be a cruel joke. 

But no matter how much she pinched herself, tried to wake herself up, she still found herself in the meeting room, the fact she had to leave settling in her brain.

"Miyoung-ah!"

Was that Taeyong?

Mae couldn't deal with this now. She didn't want to be the one to tell he what was happening. But he was the leader, so he was going to be the first one to know one way or another. She just didn't want to see the look on his face once he found out.

"Miyoung, are you okay?" Taeyong said, cupping her face to wipe away a stray tear. 

She didn't even realize it had fell until now. Mae simply fell into his arms, her sniffles turning into sobs, giving apology after apology. 

"Mae what's wro-"

"I'm out of the group."

Mae felt Taeyong freeze, his body going stiff. She moved away from him, seeing his eyes wide on his shocked face. Mae wiped away her tears with her hoodie.

"The company said the best option for me is to leave NCT, and possibly SM." Mae's eyes fell to the floor, unable to look her leader in the eye. Well, she can't call him her leader if she was gone from the group, could she?

She felt the atmosphere grow cold, as silence grew over them. Mae didn't even want to know what the man was thinking. 

"Miyoung-ah.."

Stop.

She's already having a difficult time processing it, she didn't want to see Taeyong's sad face again. It was one thing to disappoint him, but this is just another level.

"Miyoung look at me."

With all the strength she could, Mae slowly lifted her head up to face Taeyong. Instead of anger or disappointment, he gave her a soft smile, as if reassuring her that it would all be okay.

Mae could tell what she hated more.

“I’m sure we can find a way to fix this, right?” Taeyong asked. 

Mae shook her head. Even if they managed to find a way to fix this, the paperwork for her removal were already made.

”The forms for my removal are on the table. It’s too late hyung.”

Taeyong slowly moved his way over to the table, where a stack of papers laid. He went over all of them one by one, frustration growing as he read each and everyone one of them.

It was all her fault. She’s the reason why he’s so stressed. She would only cause trouble if she stayed in the group.

Mae’s thoughts were interrupted when she felt a warm embrace engulf her. She didn’t even notice Taeyong move towards her. She hugged back, burying her head in his chest as he stroked her head.

”It’s going to be okay.” He said.

And for a moment, she actually believed him.

When the two of them calmed down, they walked outside of the room, only to be met with several faces.

”Mae! Are you alright?”

Yuta?

”We we’re so worried about you!”

Johnny?

”Why didn’t you say anything?”

Doyoung was here too.

Mae could feel her throat tighten, as all the members crowded around her. All of them were here, asking how she was. Taeyong tried to calm them down but to no avail.

She didn’t want to tell them yet.

Not when they seemed so worried about her.

Not now, when she’s so close to breaking down again.

So, she ran.

Past all her members and the paparazzi outside, all the way to who knows where.

She just had to get out.
