Dive With You

Eight

You couldn't help but laugh at the article that was released after the holidays. Joohyun sent it to you after she was severely grilled by her company about a secret boyfriend. You looked at the pictures, seeing that you did look rather masculine while carrying Joohyun down the road in your hometown. You were snickering a little too much when Dahyun noticed, asking you if you were okay.

"Yes, perfectly fine," You smiled. "Just having a good day," You added.

"Good! Because we are entirely busy for a very long time." Dahyun reminded you about your upcoming schedules for the next few months, causing you to drop your happy mood. Yes, you did enjoy being an idol, but it was annoying sometimes to just deal with everything.

You were in the studio just about every day and it was killing you. You were exhausted and learning two different albums in two different languages while still trying to keep your focus. You didn't know how you managed but you were trying.

"You look tired." You glanced up, seeing Sana looking right at you.

"Because I am," You muttered.

It was hard to get over her. Mainly because she would talk with you every day and the fact that you lived with her and saw her literally every waking moment of your life.

"You should join us for movie night tonight! It'll be relaxing," She smiled.

"Wouldn't that keep me awake?" You frowned.

"Not if you're relaxed. Maybe that's why you're so tired." She shrugged her shoulders, walking away from you before looking back and giving you a shy smile. You didn't know how you could say no to her. So you silently agreed, deciding to let yourself enjoy the movie rather than hiding in your room and watching a movie that way.

That night, you sat on the couch with Sana curled into you. It felt nice, to say the least. She was comfortable on your side with an arm wrapped around her while you enjoyed the movie. Nothing could've really torn you from that spot. At least until you heard someone complaining about wanting a snack midway through.

"It's a good movie to have snacks with..." Nayeon muttered.

"Snacks do sound good..." Sana whispered.

"You want snacks?" You asked her, watching her nod her head. "Okay..." You got up from the couch, maneuvering around everyone, and got an assortment of snacks. Mainly for Sana, but for everyone too since you heard a few agreements.

When you got back, everyone cheered for your return as you handed out the bags of chips. You handed off the spicy chips that Sana absolutely adored and watched her squeal in delight.

"You're the best," she smiled the second you sat down.

You didn't respond, choosing to bask in the compliment instead of ruining it with words. She resumed her place on your body, happily munching while the movie continued. It felt right. Right enough at least.

It was like that for the upcoming weeks. You would do anything Sana asked you without really thinking. More so than normal. But you didn't think it was bad since she would give you affection almost immediately, whether it be a longer-than-normal hug, hand-holding, or even a kiss on the cheek.

It would cause your heart to beat just a little faster but you didn't care. You enjoyed it. Almost like a dog with a treat. You swore if you had a tail it would wag every time. But you didn't and you kept calm and casual during it all.

When your comeback was released that spring, you were in full work mode, entirely focused on the group and the well-being of your members. Yes, you did your absolute best with performing, but you were like a parent in a way. Watching over them like hawks and making sure fans didn't get at all close.

It was a fansign event. As much as you loved your fans, it overwhelmed you with anxiety.

Someone could easily jump the stage and run at you guys. Which was exactly why you never stayed put. You were always moving, watching your members, and keeping a close eye on the fans. Hardly speaking and just observing.

"Y/N-ah!" Nayeon called, catching your attention. "Look." She held up a stuffed bear, your representative animal and you couldn't help but laugh when she placed it next to the eagle. "Do you think a bear would win in a fight?" She asked you.

"Against an eagle?" You frowned.

"Yeah."

"Probably? I don't know. Why are you making me fight Dahyun?" You were entirely confused, catching the attention of the latter spoken of.

"Fight? Fight me?" Dahyun asked, watching you nod your head. "Let's go! I can take you!" She teased while putting up her fists.

"You can't fight me," you laughed while putting her fists down.

You were certain people caught the entirety of the conversation on film, but without words. So it would be completely out of context since it most likely looked like you two were plotting something and Dahyun just reacted.

That was how most of your pictures were. Just reactions to things if they were lucky. Sometimes it would be a judgmental stare or a full-blown reaction when your members said anything outrageous enough. Which happened more often than not.

You were in the middle of answering some questions from fans when you felt arms wrap around your waist and hold you. You looked down to see Sana holding you, and you couldn't help but smile.

"Hello," she smiled at you.

"Hi," you chuckled.

You heard the sounds of cameras shuttering, clearly catching every little moment in that one small action. You knew people would post it and put the multiple pictures and captions up, essentially shipping the two of you together. But you didn't care. You liked her affection.
