You were a solo idol in KQ entertainment. You were close with all the members of Ateez and often hung out with them whenever either of you had a group. You were older than all of the members, and you had been in the company longer than most of them.

You considered Wooyoung like your younger brother. His playful and happy nature reminded you of your real little brother.

Yeosang, to you, was like your cat. Calm most of the time, but when he warmed up to people, silly and funny.

Jongho reminded you of a bear. His chubby cheeks and behavior endeared you.

Seonghwa, you thought of as the prettiest man ever. Platonically. His hair, whether it be short or long, was always so silky and smooth.

Hongjoong, the leader of Ateez, doesn't have his leader attitude around you. He treats you like one of the closest friends.

Yunho was the cutest puppy. He was tall and sometimes intimidating, but you saw the adorable side of him only.

Mingi was tall as well and definitely intimidating. Even you were a little scared of him when you first saw him, but now, you thought of him as a little chick.

San was hilarious. He made you laugh almost every single day. He was so energetic and acted like such a cat.

One winter night, you were all out for dinner, dressed warmly, sitting around a table eating hotpot and various dishes that warmed your throat and stomach as you slurped them down.

Sitting there comfortably, dressed in a sweater and some thick jeans, you slurped down some noodles with your chopsticks, listening to the members have various conversations around you, engaged in one with Yeosang and Wooyoung currently.

The inside of the restaurant was warm and loud, but your table quieted down when Seonghwa spoke up.

"Guys"

"...."

He spoke softly, feeling warm as a blush rose on his pale cheeks.

"I...I have something to say."

You all encouraged him to go on, listening intently.

"Mm...I'm...gay."

You smiled a bit. He seemed so nervous to tell all of you, chewing on his bottom lips as he waited for everyone to react.

Wooyoung was the first. He rolled his eyes, smirking a bit.

"Yeah, no shit."

Hongjoong shot him a disapproving look, looking back at Seonghwa as Wooyoung snickered.

"We support you, Seonghwa. Of course."

Everyone nodded, including Wooyoung, who was still giggling.
