Lost Star~Ateez OT8

Shooting Star

I felt like I couldn’t breathe, I was hyperventilating, my body shaking violently as I tried to count to ten in my head. Hongjoong turned me to sit sideways in his lap while he gently moved both of his hands on either side of my face and looking me in the eyes and it was almost like he knew exactly what it was that I did when this happened and he quietly counted to ten until my breathing returned to normal. My body still violently shaking, Yunho came and sat beside us on the couch, his face full of concern and took my hands in his. I’m not sure what it is about him, the second he touched me my body calmed down enough to the point where my hands were only shaking now, he stayed there for a couple minutes holding my hands until I eventually stopped shaking all together giving my hands a quick kiss and intertwining one of our hands together as he sat back on the couch. Hongjoongs arms back around my waist

*Darling it’s unclear right now about how long Callie will be with Stray Kids. I can one hundred percent assure you that they are taking care of her the way we’re taking care of you right now. Stray kids are our closest allies, we trust them with all of our lives. Not to worry about that darling, okay?* - Mingi
*As for if you can talk to her, we will try to set something up just as soon as we can okay my dear* - Wooyoung

After he finished his sentence I blacked out

Hongjoong POV

*I think her passing out is a trauma response. It breaks my heart to think about what she must have gone through for this to happen to her. For her to not even care about her well being and only her best friend. We’ll have to tread very lightly with her. I don’t want her to feel overwhelmed through all of this* gently laying her back in my arms, Yunho softly placing her legs in is lap and readjusting the blanket over her. I can see the worry in her face even as she’s passed out right now. I never want to see that in her eyes again, I never want her to have to worry again 

Jongho POV

*We all agree with you Captain. We’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and happy. And if it’s okay with everyone else, I would like to ask you all a question”
The looks on their faces were completely focused and I can see the gears in their heads moving as they tried to figure out what I was about to ask.
*Considering the way we all reacted to her just asking for a sweater because she was cold…. Do you all have feelings for her?* They pondered for a moment before all quietly agreeing almost in unison, it was already obvious to me that Yeosang and Hongjoong did, neither of them are affectionate people and they’ve barely been able to keep their hands off her since she’s been here.
*So how do we move forward from here?*

Hongjoong POV

*Maybe we can work something out with her. And if you are all comfortable with it, we can all be in a relationship with her. I know that sounds kind of crazy but we all appear to feel the same way about her. We can ask her about it after she’s calmed down again and feeling okay* none of them objected to the idea of us being in a relationship with her. Our first poly relationship. She started to stir in my arms and slowly opened her eyes

Rhea POV

I opened my eyes to see Hongjoong looking at me with concern and relief on his face. I gently lifted my hand and caressed his cheek, feeling him move his face further into my hand.

*I’m sorry about that, I’m still not quite sure why that happens to me. It has more to do with my past but I won’t burden you with any of that. Thank you for answering my questions. And I really appreciate that you’ll let me talk to Callie* I did my best to give them a heart warming smile

*Baby I know that you might be feeling overwhelmed* - Hongjoong

*No no I’m okay now I promise. You gave me what I needed to know and I feel better now* I did my best to reassure him but he looked like there was something bothering him. I sat myself up noticing my legs in Yunhos lap and kept them there for now because he seemed happy about it, a cute puppy smile on his face

*There’s something we would like to ask you sweetheart* - Yeosang
I did my best to brace myself for their question. My body tensing up as soon as he finished speaking. Hongjoong tightening his arms around my waist and Yunho gently rubbed part of my shins.

*You don’t have to give us an answer right now and you can take all the time you need to think it over. But baby, we want to know if you would be in a relationship, with all of us* - Hongjoong

I can feel my eyes go as wide as they possibly could. I looked down and played with my fingers a little trying to understand what he just said. A relationship. With all of them. They really like me that way? Why? I can feel their eyes on me as I tried to gather my thoughts. They still don’t even know what my name is and they want me to be theirs.
Gathering my courage I looked at each of them with a poker face
*I don’t need any time to think about it. I would love for you all to be my boyfriend’s. So I guess that makes me your girlfriend now. Please call me Rhea*
