MEMBERS REACTION TO YOU CRYING

.

SION

You didn't mean to cry, especially not in front of Sion. But the stress had built up too high-school, your part-time job, everything.

Sion's smile fades the second he sees the tears slipping down your cheeks. "Hey... are you okay?" His voice is soft, like he's afraid he'll break you more.

You try to laugh it off, but a hiccup cuts through. He doesn't ask more questions. Instead, he opens his arms. You fall into his embrace without hesitation.

He holds you for as long as you need, rubbing soothing circles into your back. "You don't always have to be strong," he murmurs. "I'm here."

.

RIKU

You're sitting on the dorm couch, wiping your eyes when Riku walks in. "Y/N?" he asks, wide-eyed. "Are you crying?"

You nod, trying to hide your face, but it's too late.

His lips tremble. "Why are you crying? What happened?" You explain-just stress, burnout, and feeling not enough.

And then Riku does the unthinkable-his eyes gloss over, and soon, he's crying too.

"You're amazing, you know that?" he sniffles. "You always take care of others, so let us take care of you now."

He pulls you into a warm, teary hug, the two of you sobbing quietly together.

.

YUSHI

Yushi finds you curled up on the bench behind the practice room, tears staining your sleeves.

"Uh..." He panics, frozen. "Did someone-did I-are you okay?"

You shake your head, not trusting your voice.

He slowly sits beside you, hands clasped in his lap. "I'm not great at this stuff, but..." He offers you a water bottle. "Here. Hydration?"

You smile despite the tears. "Thanks."

He sighs in relief. "Okay. You smiled. That's progress." He doesn't leave your side for the rest of the day.

.

JAEHEE

The moment Jaehee sees your puffy eyes, he gasps dramatically. "Oh no, Y/N! Did someone steal your snack? Because I would totally cry too."

You blink, caught off guard. "What?"

He grins. "Just trying to cheer you up." He leans in closer, voice softer now. "But seriously, talk to me. What's going on?"

You finally let it out, and Jaehee listens, quietly and seriously for once. When you finish, he pats your head.

"You're allowed to cry, but just know you've got me on your team. Always."

.

RYO

You didn't even notice Ryo come in, but he notices you immediately. He crouches down, gently taking your hand.

"You're crying..." His voice is barely above a whisper.

You nod, trying to breathe through the storm.

He doesn't say much. Instead, he sits with you. His silence is comforting. When you calm down, he offers you a tissue and smiles faintly.

"You don't have to talk if you don't want to. I just wanted you to know I'm here."

And you believed him.

.

SAKUYA

"Why the tears?" Sakuya asks, stepping into the room. "Did you just watch a sad drama without me?"

You chuckle slightly, but the tears keep falling.

"Hey," he says, more seriously now. He walks over and wipes a tear away with his thumb. "What's wrong, really?"

You spill your heart out. Sakuya listens, all jokes gone for now. When you finish, he smiles softly.

"You're the strongest person I know. And even the strongest cry. But hey... next time you cry, at least let me bring popcorn."

You laugh again, and this time, it feels healing.
