It started small.
A tweet.
A leaked Dropbox link.
A blurred screenshot from someone's shared drive.
Then came the hashtags.
#SafePlace
#YeongyuSong
#ThisIsReal
And then...
The storm.
⸻
The label called within the hour.
"Did you leak it?"
"No."
"Then who did?"
Silence.
They didn't care about the answer.
They only cared about the consequences.
⸻
The song was everywhere now.
Clips on TikTok.
Fan edits.
Lyric threads.
And the lyrics...
"I was a shadow learning how to breathe / You were the silence who finally heard me"
Everyone knew.
No more speculation.
No more guessing.
Just truth. Raw. Beautiful. Unavoidable.
⸻
Fans responded instantly.
Some with shock.
Some with fury.
But most... with tears.
"They were telling us this whole time."
"I feel like I just read their diary... and I want to protect it."
"Yeongyu is real. And I'm crying."
⸻
At the dorm, Yeonjun stared at his phone, hands trembling.
"I didn't want it to happen like this."
Beomgyu sat beside him.
"I know. But maybe it was time."
Yeonjun looked at him.
Eyes wide. Heart wide open.
"Are you ready?"
Beomgyu didn't even blink.
"I was ready the moment I wrote that line with you."
⸻
They went live that night.
Just the two of them.
No makeup. No lighting.
Just honesty.
Yeonjun started first.
"Hi. You probably heard a song that wasn't meant to be out yet."
Beomgyu added,
"It was something we made to feel safe. And now... we're sharing that safety with you."
The comments flooded in.
"We're here."
"Still OT5."
"Love is love."
"You're safe with us too."
⸻
When the live ended, Yeonjun leaned into Beomgyu's shoulder.
"Did we just come out to the world?"
Beomgyu laughed softly.
"No. We just... told them the truth."
⸻
The next day, the label made a statement:
"The members of TXT are free to express themselves through music, art, and honesty. We thank MOA for their endless love and support."
⸻
And a week later, at a concert in Japan, they performed Safe Place live.
No backtrack.
No fireworks.
Just a guitar.
And two boys singing to each other.
By the last chorus, Yeonjun reached for Beomgyu's hand.
And the crowd?
They sang with them.
Louder than any storm.
Brighter than any lie.

Act Like You Mean It | YEONGYU
FanfictionYeonjun and Beomgyu have always been close the kind of closeness that makes fans scream, edit fancams, and flood comment sections with hearts. They're used to it by now: the ship name, the teasing, the requests to act "sweet" on camera. It's part of...
