STRAIGHTIES - a Stray Kids × Ateez fanfic

EPILOGUE

Hongjoong was dissapointed but not surprised. Despite what Felix and Hongjoong had reassured him of, he was sure this would eventually happen. It was just his luck as a leader to lose control over who his members were dating.

He was one to talk, though. Falling in love with Felix simply thanks to them practicing together. What a damned fool. At least San and Jeongin were smart enough to ask for his permission. Not that he would deny it, obviously. He was way too compassionate to do that.

When everyone else found out about San and Jeongin's relationship, their world came crushing down. How was that possible? Didn't San like girls? Didn't Jeongin hate San? Sure, they were queer, but it was hard to digest that San was also queer. And Jeongin? He didn't seem serious enough for a relationship, either. When did it all happen? Why did they never suspect it?

They got the answers to their questions when Bang Chan took the initiative to have them attend a special dinner party at some fancy restaurant, planning to give everyone a chance to see each couple's perspective and truly understand what brought them close originally. Hongjoong had been in charge of handling the situation all this time, so he thought it was his turn to do something nice for their groups. During the party, they all witnessed San being himself for the first time in a while and immediately regretted ever saying those things about him. It was clear that he and Jeongin loved each other.

After that, there wasn't any kind of drama going on. Life in the dorm passed extremely fast, without the managers or the staff ever noticing anything that would raise suspicion, which relieved Hongjoong. They had made it. When the one-year contract that obliged them to live in the dorm ended, they collectively decided to rent their own places and continued their idol life by the side of their significant others.

(A/N: I'm sorry. That was bad. But do tell me if you want some bonus chapters.)
