jaemin tip toed to the bathroom y/n was currently in as his heartbeat accelerated in anticipation. the shower had just turned off a few moments ago, making the music y/n always played from his phone more audible without the noise of the water.

jaemin stood by the door, making sure to stick to the wall and keep quiet. he could hear the rustling and movement from inside as y/n hummed along to his music.

when he heard the doorknob begin to move, his muscles tensed while a playful smile grew on his lips.

y/n had a towel draping around his neck with only his boxer briefs clothing him. he raked a hand through his wet hair as he looked down at his phone, going through a few songs before settling on one.

jaemin held in his laugh, silently sneaking up on the male before deciding to make his move.

"BOO!!"

y/n instantly turned with wide eyes and dropped his phone. a shriek left his mouth, his heart plummeting to his stomach. he placed a hand over his chest while jaemin was too busy laughing at his accomplishment.

"haha, sucker!"

y/n' s face straightened out, now picking up his phone and lightly hitting jaemin a few times on his arm.

"you little fucker!"

jaemin continued laughing as his eyes landed on the dream member's body, who was now off guard about his appearance, including his boxers.

"uh, y/n?.."

y/n let out a sigh, trying to overcome jaemin's harmlessly meant prank.

"hm?" he hummed in response. jaemin looked down. he wasn't sure how to word things properly.

"uh.. your boxers.. they.."

y/n's eyes widened in realization. he looked down at his boxer briefs. he'd completely forgotten to cover himself.

"oh uh.."

"it's flat," jaemin blurted out. y/n's heart stopped, his face heating up. tears started to surface at the brim of his eyes.

"yeah, um.. i'm.."

he couldn't say it. he hadn't told a soul that he was trans since he'd even started as a trainee. and for all that to be ruined now, terrified him.

tears now rushed down y/n's cheeks. he quickly wiped them away for the sake of his pride, but they didn't stop coming. he gripped his phone tightly and turned to run back to he and donghyuck's shared room.

jaemin didn't know what to say, what to think. this was obviously a sensitive subject for the other, and he really didn't know how to go about it. he took a deep breath and slowly walked to y/n's door. after knocking and hearing no answer, he carefully opened it.

"y/n?"

the male was cuddled up in a blanket on his bed, completely covered by the fabric.

"y/n, come on." jaemin's voice was gentle. he sat down beside the other, the mattress sinking a bit with his body weight.

y/n slowly uncovered himself. he sat up and wiped his cheeks once more, finally looking at his groupmate.

"y/n, whatever's going on.. you're safe here, i promise."

y/n thought for a moment. he could tell jaemin's words were sincere and full of care, but telling someone his biggest secret, especially on a whim, was horrifying.

"you won't be mad?" he asked quietly. jaemin looked at him with gentle eyes, a bit worried now.

"i don't see how i could get mad. if it's something you aren't ready to talk about, that's fine. but i wanna make sure you're okay at least," he responded. y/n sighed as his thoughts continued to race.

coming out and being whole heartedly accepted was the dream of a lifetime, but he could count about zero times that'd happened before. what if coming out ruined everything? what if it made jaemin see him differently? but what if he does choose to come out and jaemin is completely supportive?

"mm.. i'm, um," y/n mumbled as he looked down. jaemin waited patiently, still looking at him.

"i'm transgender.."
