Beomgyu's POV:

As I quickly ate my breakfast, I felt Yeonjun's hand rest lightly on my thigh under the table. My breath caught in my throat. I glanced up at him, but he only gave me a teasing smile.

"Beomgyu, please eat slowly. You'll choke on your food," he said, his voice soft but playful.

I blinked, caught off guard by his words. Just then, Soobin hyung looked up at us, his smirk evident. "Ohh, look who's extra worried about Beomgyu now~"

Laughter echoed around the table, and I sighed in defeat. "Not with this teasing again, you guys," I muttered, rolling my eyes.

As I tried to focus on eating more slowly, I slipped my free hand under the table and gently removed Yeonjun's hand from my thigh. I shot him a flustered glare, feeling my face heat up.

Yeonjun only smirked in response, but he didn't push further, keeping his hand to himself for the moment. The teasing, however, was far from over.

As we stood up after breakfast, Soobin hyung spoke up, "Alright, we'll leave for the song rehearsals in 30 minutes."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yeonjun's pov:

Teasing beomgyu was becoming my favorite thing, seeing him defeated and flustered only made me want to push his buttons more, the way he reacted especially last night, was impossible to resist. He was so responsive, it drove me crazy.

I watched as beomgyu made himself some coffee in the kitchen, and a mischievous smile spread across my face. I quietly stepped into the kitchen, behind him wrapping my arms around him from behind, resting my chin on his shoulder.

"Making coffee huh?" I whispered softly.

He nodded focused on his task. "Yep."

I leaned in closer, my lips brushing near his ears as I whispered, "you smell so good."

I felt him tense up instantly, warmth flooding his skin

"Shut up." he muttered, trying to keep his composure.

I smirked, my lips grazing his ears as I nibbled gently. His body jerked and I could feel him squirm slightly.

"H-Hey....s-stop..." he started, but a soft whimpers escaped his mouth, before he could finish.

I smiled, pulling back just enough to look at him, savouring the way he was always so sensitive to touch. "Cute," I murmured, leaning against the counter and watching him carefully, enjoying the flustered expression on his face.

A/N POV:

After arriving at the song rehearsals, the atmosphere was focused. Yeonjun and Beomgyu would occasionally glance at each other from the corners of their eyes, as if savoring the quiet moments between them, even in the midst of work.

Manager Lee had announced that from now on, the priority would be on their preparation for the upcoming album release. It was going to be a busy three months. When it came to the relationship between Beomgyu and Yeonjun, Manager Lee didn't say much. He simply told me to be cautious, especially when in public or during live broadcasts. Despite that, the chemistry between the two was undeniable, and fans couldn't help but ship them, creating countless edits that made Yeonjun smile quietly to himself.

There were moments of exhaustion, of course. Times when all the members were running on empty, but they always found a way to lift each other up. There were times when Beomgyu felt completely drained, questioning his ability to keep going. Yet, Yeonjun was always there, silently offering his support, pulling Beomgyu back up, reminding him why they were all doing this. Together, they powered through the hard days, and the day finally arrived, the day their album was set to be released. It also marked the end of Chaeyon's contract with them.

Chaeyon's POV:

As I packed my bags, I couldn't help but feel a bittersweet mix of emotions. It was sad to leave, but also heartwarming to know that the members would finally have their own space again. When I first arrived, I wasn't sure how I would fit in with everyone's dynamics. But as time passed, I realized how much I had come to appreciate them. Beomgyu and Yeonjun were adorable together, and I had watched them grow even closer.

I'd seen them all work tirelessly, pushing themselves to the limit. I'd known TXT before, but watching them up close, seeing their dedication and exhaustion, made me truly respect them. They didn't just work hard for themselves; they worked hard for each other.

Once I finished packing, I walked into the living room where everyone had gathered. They were all smiling, and the atmosphere was warm despite the looming goodbye.

"It was an amazing journey with you all," I began, my voice a little shaky.

"Thank you so much, Chaeyon, for looking after us," Beomgyu said softly, and everyone bowed in gratitude. I hesitated before speaking again.

"Please don't do that... You're embarrassing me," I smiled, trying to lighten the mood.

Kai's voice cut through with his usual warmth. "It was nice to have you here."

I turned to Beomgyu, who was standing a little apart from the others, looking at me with a soft, sincere expression. "The soup was really good, Chaeyon... and... I'm sorry if I ever hurt you."

I smiled at him, shaking my head gently. "It's okay, Beomgyu. I'm just happy that you've settled in and found your place here. That's all I wanted."

The room was filled with soft laughter, and despite the sadness of parting, it was clear that this had been a journey of growth, respect, and friendship.

And with that, I left the job, carrying a heart full of memories. This experience would forever hold a special place in my life. Meeting them wasn't just an opportunity, it was a blessing. I would always cherish the moments we shared, the lessons I learned, and the bonds we formed. Even as I stepped away, I knew a part of me would always root for their success, smiling quietly at the thought of their journey ahead.
