Wooyoung's POV
Looking at my reflection in the mirror I pointed out every flaw I could see. Sighing deeply I looked down to the ground, "I'll never be good enough." I whispered to myself as I felt a small tear run down my outer cheek.
Holding my hands out in front of me I inspected them closely.
Looking back up to see my reflection I ran my hands through my blonde coloured hair. "I hate myself." I scolded as I walked backward and collapsed down onto the bed.
"Baby? Where are you?" My sweet girlfriend y/n called. Without my reply she entered the room with a beautiful smile on her face, which never failed to make me smile, but today it was different.
"Why are you up here? I thought you were joining us outside in the pool?" She asked as she took a seat next to me on the edge of the bed.
Letting out a sigh I looked up to the ceiling. "Wooyoung" she spoke as she crawled over to me, her head hovering over mine. Scanning my eyes towards her I felt my heart growing fonder. "What's wrong my love. You don't seem yourself today?"
Sitting up I rested my head into the palms of my hands.
"It's nothing" I mumbled. "Well it's clearly not, tell me what's going on. Why are you upset?" As she wrapped her arm around my body I was quick to shrug her off, her smile immediately fading to my actions. Turning my head towards her she looked at me with sorrow. "Am I good enough for you?"
Her mouth fell ajar to my words. "What are you talking about baby. I love you so much, you are perfect in every way for me." Collapsing forwards I fell into her warm embrace, resting my head into the crook of her neck. Combing her fingers through my hair the tears began to run.
Your POV
Gently cupping Wooyoung's cheeks I pulled him away. "Don't cry baby, what's gotten into you?" Sniffing aloud Wooyoung stuttered upon his words. "I-I just." He sighed. "Lately I feel so insecure about myself, I look in the mirror and point out every flaw I can see. I'm not skinny enough, I want to be like San, Yeosang and the others but it's just not working. I try everything I can think of and i just fail every time. I'm even failing myself and I'm failing you."
"No. No. No. Don't you dare say that Wooyoung." Standing from the bed and kneeling down in front of him I intertwined our hands. "Don't compare yourself to the boys, don't you ever do that again Wooyoung. You are perfect just the way you are, I love you for you. I love what you hold dear and everything you do. Just because San has a six pack and Yeosang has strong arms doesn't mean you don't. Everyone is different in their own way and it's beautiful."
Wiping away his falling tears I pushed my body up and placed a sweet kiss onto his lips, to which he happily accepted. Placing his hands around my neck he held me close.
Running my hands up and down his body I smiled into the kiss. Pulling his lips away from mine Wooyoung looked into my eyes, "I'm just worried you'll find someone better then me." I sighed. "I will never leave you for anyone, I intend to stay with you for the rest of my life and that's how I want it to be." Smiling to my words Wooyoung hoisted me up so I straddled his waist.
Resting his head onto my chest I snaked my arms around his body. "Can we just stay like this for a moment?" Grinning brightly I accepted his wishes. Rocking our bodies back and forth I whispered sweet words into Wooyoung's ear.
"Y/N. WOOYOUNG?" Mingi shouted from the floors below.
Pulling away I answered to his loud call. "Yes Mingi?" "Where are you guys? You're missing out on the fun." "Their probably having some one-to-one time if you know what I mean." Yeosang teased.
"We are not." Wooyoung shouted back.
Hearing annoyed mumbles from Mingi and Yeosang I stood from Wooyoung's lap.
Holding out my hand I smiled at my loving boyfriend. "Now come on. Let's go enjoy the sun and have some fun."
Standing to his feet Wooyoung followed me out of his bedroom and down the stairs.
"There you are. We started to get worried about you two." Dani, Seonghwa's girlfriend chimed as we walked into the kitchen. "Wooyoung didn't feel to good so I sat down with him for a little while. Hope we didn't miss out on too much fun." I answered as I placed a grape into my mouth.
"No, well you only missed out on Hongjoong falling into the pool." "HEY I SLIPPED OK" he shouted from outside the kitchen. Giggling to one another we headed into the garden.
"Hey y/n, come play volleyball with us." Jongho shouted. "Ok, who's team am I on?" "MINE. MINE." San shouted causing me to chuckle.
Looking over my shoulder I saw Wooyoung sitting on the outdoor furniture with a towel wrapped around his body. "I-I'll be one second" I spoke to San as I approached Wooyoung.
"Baby? Are you not joining us?" Looking up to me he shook his head.
"Sweetie you need to stop worrying about what you look like, I love you ok. Now get your butt up and off this sofa before I make Yeosang throw you into the pool." I teased.
Throwing the towel off his body Wooyoung wrapped his arms around my body guiding us toward the boys and their girlfriends.
"Ok, now we have even teams." Yunho said rubbing his hands together.
Diving into the pool we all began playing a game of volleyball.
Hitting the ball back and forth over the make shift netting everyone's loud and happy laughs echoed around the garden.
Watching Wooyoung hit the ball over the netting scoring our last goal I celebrated in excitement. "Yes Wooyoung." Swimming over towards him I kissed his cheek.
"Awh Wooyoung is blushing." Seonghwa teased as he stepped out of the pool. Placing his hands over his rosie cheeks i giggled in happiness. "You are my favourite person" I whispered.
Few Weeks Later
Placing the last glass into the cabinet my phone began to ring.
Stepping down from the hair I headed over and reached for my phone. Inspecting the caller ID I saw it was Wooyoung's agency calling me, knitting my eyebrows in confusion I pressed onto the green button, answering the call.
"Hello" "Ah y/n this is Mr Min, I'm one of the managers here at KQ Entertainment, are you available today to come into the studio for a meeting?" Turning on my heel I looked at the clock which hung just above a photo of myself and Wooyoung from our anniversary.
"Yes I am available, what is it about if I may ask?" "We will discuss of that once you arrive, please come within the next few hours." "Will do Mr Min, see you soon."
Bidding farewell I ended the call and placed my phone down onto the countertops. "What on earth could they want?" I asked myself as I placed the chair back under the table.
•
Once I arrived at KQ Entertainment I made my way up to the designated office which I was told to meet in. Knocking on the door I heard a soft 'come in' from the other side. Opening the door I was met with a tall man in a suit, "Ah y/n, come in I'm Mr Min."
I smiled, "ah yes, you were the one who called me right?" He nodded. "Yes, now please take a seat." He said gesturing to a seat opposite his desk.
Sitting down I placed one leg over the other, "So you are probably wondering as to why we have asked you here today?" I nodded eagerly, "Yes, is something wrong?"
Mr Min sighed. "It's about Wooyoung, we couldn't help but notice he's falling behind recently. He doesn't seem to be focusing on his singing and we think that you are a potential cause of this." I scoffed. "So you are blaming me?" I asked.
He shook his head. "No we aren't y/n, we just think it might be best for you and Wooyoung to part ways. Ateez have a big comeback planned over the next few months and we want them to be in the best tip top condition. We don't want any fall backs or interferences." Falling back in my chair my nose began to feel fuzzy. "We understand it might be a shock but that's the only way we can get Wooyoung back on his feet. I'm sure after the comeback you two will both become one again."
Pushing out the chair with my calf muscles I stood to my feet. "I don't think you really understand what Wooyoung is going through with now, it's not my place to say but I think you are making the wrong decision for making us split up. Have a good day Mr Min."
Heading for the door I opened it up and slammed it behind me. As I wiped a fallen tear from my eye I bumped into someone's broad body.
"I'm sorry-" "Baby, what are you doing here?" Wooyoung asked in curiosity. Looking over my shoulder to the office which I not long walked out of I showed a fake smile. "N-nothing I thought I would just pop by but I see your all practicing so I'll see you at home yeah?" Walking past him in a hurry I headed for the elevators.
"Wait babygirl why are you rushing? You can stay with me, don't leave me" he pleaded as I carried on walking away. "N-no it's ok, I-I I've got a bit of a migraine." Lying straight to his face he looked at me with sadness.
Watching the elevator doors close in front of me I collapsed to the ground, the heart broken tears finally ran.
•
Unlocking the door to my home I stumbled over my feet, my vision was blurry as I walked into the kitchen. Seeing my reflection I hid myself away. Pacing myself around the room I thought deeply about their request.
How am I going to break this to Wooyoung?
Feeling the pit of my stomach fall i hunched my body over the counter tops. "Why?" I whimpered. "Why?"
Few hours later
Lying in my bed I pulled the bed covers further up my weak body, I hadn't left the bed since the moment I got in and that was over five hours ago.
Hearing the jingle of a set of keys unlocking the foor my ears perked up, my head lifting up from the pillow cases.
"Angel." Wooyoung called. Hearing his footsteps on each of the stair case I grew nervous, petrified even.
"There's my princess." He cooed as he walked into the room and laid down next to me, "What's wrong?" He asked the moment he saw my puffy eyes and mascara stained cheeks. "N-nothing" I replied as I hid myself away from his gaze.
"Don't you hide away from me." He tutted as he pulled on the covers. "Talk to me."
Rubbing my nose I looked into his eyes. "I-I just, I don't think it's going to work out anymore Wooyoung." His expression changed the moment those words escaped my mouth. "What?" He asked sitting up, his lower lip trembling.
Also sitting up I ran my hands through my hair. "Us, Wooyoung, I-I went and spoke to-" "No. No y/n, I don't want to hear it, I knew this day would come but I didn't think it would be this soon." I began to panic. "Wait what are you talking about?" He shook his head in disbelief, "I know you and your silly little lies." I scoffed aloud. "My lies Woo-" "Save your breath you liar, you were going to break up with me. But hey it's ok, I agree let's break up."
Reaching out to hold onto his hands he swatted them away. "No" I whispered as he left the room, "Wooyoung" I shouted as I chased after him. "Listen to me god damn it." I fought as I followed him into the living room.
"Why should I? I answered your statement for myself, didn't I?" I shook my head. "No. I wasn't going to break up with you. I was going to tell you something else but as usual you're always the one to jump to conclusions and make it about yourself."
Wooyoung scoffed. "Make it about myself? That's some strong words coming from you." He argued. Pinching the bridge of my nose my eyes closed tightly. "I lied." I admitted as I looked up to him. "I lied about why I was at KQ earlier, I wasn't there to pop by and see you all, one of your managers Mr Min wanted to speak with me."
"So?" Wooyoung shrugged. "He was forcing me to break up with you, you dim wit." Wooyoung looked at me, "what?" He asked with a small whisper. "He explained that you all have a comeback coming up and they don't want any fall backs let alone any interferences. That's why I was there and that's why I left you behind without any answers. I've been a wreck since the moment I got home thinking about how to tell you."
My voice cracked when I finished my sentence. "Y-you have to believe me, I would never want this." The moment Wooyoung saw my tears he came running toward me, pulling me into his arms. "Shh" he calmed. "It will be ok, I'm sorry for shouting at you and calling you a liar." "I'm sorry too Wooyoung." Holding onto his arms he swayed us back and forth.
"S-so they were forcing you to break up with me?" I nodded into his chest. "Y-yes. But I don't want to, I can't loose you Wooyoung. I love you." Wooyoung cracked a smile. "I can't lose you either, I love you too my Angel. Don't worry we will sort this out." Pulling me back he cupped my cheeks. "Look at me." He begged as he wiped away my tears. "You helped me when I was at my lowest and now I'm going to help you. That's what soulmates do."
The following day
Watching Wooyoung walk into KQ entertainment my heart clenched tightly. Wiping my sweaty hands onto my jeans I opened up the car door and headed inside soon after.
Seeing him disappear into one of the recoding studios I took a deep breath as I walked in the opposite direction. "Ah y/n. What are you doing here?" Mr Min enquired as I walked along the corridor. Jolting in fright I turned on my heels, "o-oh I was just here to grab some of my stuff Wooyoung said I left here." He nodded. "Ok, well have a good day." "Yes, you too." I replied as I turned back around, smirking to myself I looked over my shoulder as I watched Mr Min enter his office.
Walking into the studio I was greeted with Jongho, one of my closest friends from the group. "Hey" he whispered as we took a seat in the corner of the room. "Is the plan going well?" I smirked. "All good. He was heading into his office the moment I walked past him."
"And we just now sit here and wait?" He asked as he leaned back and rested his head against the wall. "Yes."
Wooyoung's POV:
Sitting beside San my quivering legs began to shake. "Stop moving" San whispered as he looked over to me. "I can't help it" I hissed. Upon hearing voices outside the door San quickly turned to me, "quick the eye drops."
Holding the bottle of eye drops over my eyes I squeezed it gently letting two individual drops fall into my eyes. Blinding rapidly I hid the bottle back into my jacket pocket. Watching the door open I was met with Mr Min, the man who'd previously spoke to y/n.
"Good morning boys, what can I do for you?" He asked as he took a seat at his desk. "Well Mr Min I think it's very obvious as to why we are here." Looking over to me the fake tears ran down my cheeks. "Making y/n break up with Wooyoung is going to be a really bad decision." "And why is that?" Mr Min asked.
Gripping tightly onto the chair i however remained calm. "Can't you see Wooyoung is broken without y/n, he will struggle without having her by his side. As much as he needs us and his family he also needs y/n in his life. Forcing them to break up isn't going to make things better."
Mr Min turned to me, inspecting my eyes his face softened. "I am very sorry Wooyoung. I didn't realise that forcing you and y/n to split would cause an upset. If you are willing to forget about this situation then I will too. You and y/n can stay with one another."
My heart lifted the moment those words came out his mouth. Smiling in happiness I thanked him aloud before opening the door and running out of the room.
Reaching the room y/n and Jongho were waiting in I pushed the door open and ran straight for her.
Standing to her feet in excitement I picked her up and span her around in a circle. "They said yes, we can stay with one another." She laughed in happiness as she nuzzled her head into the crook of my neck.
Placing her down onto the ground i cupped her cheeks. "Now you are definitely not getting rid of me." Y/n chuckled, "I wasn't intending to for the rest of my life."
