/requested/

You let your whole body drop to the wooden floor of the practice room, that you and your dancers have been using for almost a year now. Your first thought was to request a big change in terms of floors at the company, otherwise all of the people working here would have to hide all of the bruises on their knees.

You were so lost in your own little world that you didn't even notice when someone came into the room.

"Hi."

One minute you were staring at the ceiling then all of a sudden your boyfriend's face appeared. With a hat on and a bag hanging on his shoulder he looked like he just finished work.

Intak smiled at you then grabbed your hand and helped you stand up, pulling you close to him immediately.

"Long time, no kiss."you pecked his lips with a wide smile.

When was the last time you could do something with him? You didn't even remember. You were so busy with your upcoming single and Intak was in the middle of some promotions with his group, that's why being in the same place for more than fifteen minutes felt just like a dream.

"How is practice going?"he dropped his bag and hat on the floor and led you to the small couch in the corner, making you sit on his lap.

He hugged you from behind while you turned your body slightly into his direction to wrap your arms around his neck. You finally felt safe after God knows how much time. His affection always have been the most precious thing for you ever since you started dating and you felt the most protected in his embrace.

Being a soloist had its advantages but you had to admit that sometimes you were a little bit jealous of all the groups at your company being best friends with his members, being like a family. You had your team, and some of your dancers turned into your closest friends but you still were alone when you couldn't meet up with them for some reason. You had to walk on the streets without someone holding your hand when Intak couldn't be there either.

"It's going...fine."you nodded. "Actually, I suck."you laughed off the past few hours of practice as if you didn't suffer with all those moves.

"No. You know you don't."he pecked the tip of your nose.

You sat there for minutes without saying anything, yet you still understood each other. Both of you needed each other's comfort and love at that time and no one could blame you for that.

"The boys are coming soon. We'll have practice too, but we have a little bit of time left..."he whispered into your ears, making you lean closer to him immediately.

Oh, how much you missed the feeling of his skin caressing yours, as he left small kisses in the corner of your lips and his hand travelled from your lower back to your nape. You didn't even know how you could live without this for so long.

You buried your fingers into his hair and let him draw heart patterns on your waist.

Your romantic couple-moment was ruined by his members. As soon as they saw the two of you on the couch they freaked out. Jiung screamed and mumbled an apology while Theo walked in, unbothered.

"Eew, not in front of the kids!"you saw Keeho covering both Soul's and Jongseob's eyes with his hands.

"See you later, I guess."you let out a light laugh, burying your face into your boyfriend's neck. You couldn't believe you didn't even get five minutes alone with him.

"I enjoyed every moment of it."Intak pecked your forehead and let you go. "We'll finish this!"

"Alright lovebirds, get a goddamn room."Theo rolled his eyes.

"Love you too!"you waved at him, then all of the boys, and left the room with a smile on your face.

Intak's touch felt like a charger to your low battery every single time, you were just hoping he knew that.

Soul:

You watched him from the other side of the practice room's door, amazed by his moves. He told you he was going to spend the afternoon with dancing but you couldn't resist visiting him after you finished work.

It took him a while to realize you were watching him but when he finally saw you, he paused the music and rushed to open the door. He was alone, finally. From where you were standing, you couldn't tell if somebody else was in the room too, so you had to wait for him to let you in.

"Are you sure nobody saw you here?"he glanced at you with a worried look.

As soon as you shook your head, he opened his arms. You didn't hesitate to hug him tightly but only after checking the door was closed.

Nobody knew about your relationship. Not even his members. Not even Keeho, though Soul usually couldn't keep anything from him for a long time.

You both knew they wouldn't be against it, since the boys loved you but the secret wouldn't be a secret anymore if too many people found out about it, right? You thought it would be better to keep it to yourselves especially that the company probably would never approve. That's why you didn't tell anybody. The more you keep talking about it to others, the riskier it gets everytime.

You could finally let yourself breathe in his arms while he was gently stroking your back. You felt his hair, that wasn't up in his little ponytail, tickling your neck. Your anxiety started to ease and even though you knew, it was going to come back, you still tried to enjoy the moment.

"I missed you."he whispered, breaking the hug to hold your hands.

"I missed you too."you nodded, trying to hold your tears back. The sudden attack of emotions scared you but at the same time, they had the right to show up again. You've been seeing Soul everyday for a week. You've seen him go to perform, to practice and then do lives with his members, yet you didn't even get a chance to talk to him.

You knew that keeping your relationship from everybody wasn't the best idea because you had no reason to be together outside your group's and his activities. You had to watch each other live their lives without walking up to each other for a casual hug, or a small kiss.

He caressed your cheeks and pulled you into another hug. This one wasn't like the others. The first one was full of excitement but this one felt different. It was one of your saddest, yet most gentle and affectionate hugs. He was slowly rocking from side to side to calm you, and himself down a little bit.

"I should get going now."you mumbled against his chest, not wanting to let him go.

"Please stay. We won't have time to see each other for another week. I feel like I'm going to explode."

"Explode?"you lifted your head up to look at him.

"I mean, we never see each other. I miss you and I can't do anything about it. I can't do anything to make you feel better and we always end up crying when we finally have a chance to be together."he laughed nervously.

"Do you think we should tell someone?"

"Yeah, it might be easier."he nodded. "But the company would probably end this as soon as they find out about us..."

"I know. So what now?"

"No idea."

"I should really go now. We're dead if someone sees me here."you whispered, gently stroking his hair.

He nodded and let you go with a bitter smile on his face. He pecked your lips, then started to leave kisses all over your face. Lastly he kissed your forehead then let you go completely.

"Wait!"he called after you turned your back to him. You really didn't want him to see your tears building up but you turned around just to feel his arms wrapped around your waist again.

"When can I see you?"he asked, brushing your noses together.

"I'll come to you as soon as I can, okay?"

You stroked his cheeks.

"Soul?"

"Yeah?"he pulled you closer to him again.

"I love you."

That was the first time you said that to him. You couldn't decide which one of you were more surprised but you could tell you did the right thing. You couldn't go on with your life anymore without telling him how much he meant to you and how much you loved him.

"I love you too."he pulled you into the longest, most passionate and probably the most loving kiss you've ever shared.

You were about to burn this whole thing down. You really were, but you weren't actually angry. The only thing you wanted to do was to cry in the corner of your room in your hometown, and never come out of there again.

You messed up really bad and after what happened on stage you couldn't even look your members in the eyes. You didn't only forget a piece of the choreography but you accidentally fell off of that goddamn stage while trying to improvise and come up with something smart. You literally just fell and you didn't know where to go after that.

You considered staying at the company that night but you somehow ended up infront of your boyfriend's dorm, and before you noticed, you were already at the door.

You knew most of his members weren't there but you had to explain the situation to Jiung while he was letting you in. He was asking you many questions after seeing you so down and stressed.

You already knew the path so you smiled back at Jiung then walked towards Jongseob's, Soul's and Theo's room. The door was open so you didn't have to knock at all.

Jongseob was sitting at his table, probably working on one of his raps or casually writing something down.

You didn't know how to get closer since your last date ended with a small argument. You decided to leave each other alone for a few days because you didn't want to hurt each other with having no time for your relationship. You couldn't have proper dates without your phones ringing all the time and without some new plans, coming from your company, crashing them.

Those days became one whole week slowly and after your huge failure on stage you couldn't think of anyone else to go to.

"Seobie..."you started quietly.

He looked up from his papers then jumped out of his chair as soon as he heard your voice, putting his pen down.

"Hi..."he forced a smile. You didn't really know why he did that but seeing him faking a smile just broke your heart.

A single tear rolled down on your cheek as you watched him getting closer to you.

"I've seen the performance."he placed one of his hands on your shoulder. "I thought you still needed time so I didn't call you."he explained.

"But you wanted to?"you started to play with one of your colorful bracelets that he gave to you.

"Of course I wanted to!"

"I messed up so bad..."

You couldn't hold your tears anymore.

"Hey, it's okay. Come here!"he wrapped his arms around you and held you close to his body.

You could hear his heartbeat getting faster, as usual when you were this close to him.

"I'm so sorry, Jongseob."you laid your head on his shoulder and breathed his scent in deeply.

"No, I am sorry."he kept stroking your hair. "I shouldn't have been like that. I need you, you know that, right?"

"I know. I know our job is our first priority but now the only thing I want is to be here with you."you confessed, letting out a quiet sob.

He didn't say a single word, just led you to his bed and made you sit on it comfortably, with his hands still wrapped around you. He slowly pulled you into his lap and let you bury your head into his neck again while your body was completely lost in his embrace.

You knew there were going to be ups and downs in your relationship because both of you took your jobs seriously, but at that time you forgot about every difficulty you had to face.
