. . .

Soobin, the charming and usually composed leader of Tomorrow X Together, found himself in a bit of a pickle during a live broadcast. He'd bravely ventured to try something spicy, a well-known weakness of his. As the fiery flavors overwhelmed him, he started to panic, his breaths coming in quick pants. The scene was both amusing and slightly concerning.

Beomgyu, ever the observant bandmate, popped into the room, a look of mock concern etched on his face. "Hyung, are you okay?" he asked, trying to stifle a laugh.

"I need water," Soobin managed to gasp out, his eyes watering.

Beomgyu nodded, turning to leave, but instead of heading to the kitchen, he made a beeline for Y/N, who was in the living room. Y/N, a close friend of the group and particularly close to Soobin, was casually scrolling through her phone when Beomgyu burst in.

"Y/N, Soobin needs water, like, right now. He's doing a live and tried something spicy. Can you take it to him?" Beomgyu asked, his tone urgent but his eyes glinting with mischief.

Y/N raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you closer to the kitchen?"

"I'm, uh, really busy," Beomgyu said, avoiding eye contact. Y/N knew Beomgyu well enough to catch onto his little scheme. He was playing matchmaker again.

Shaking her head with a smile, Y/N got up and went to fetch a glass of water. It took her a few minutes, and by the time she entered the room where Soobin was still broadcasting live, his distress had only grown.

Soobin's reaction was immediate. His face, already flushed from the spice, turned a deeper shade of red as Y/N walked in. "Y/N? I thought Beomgyu was getting the water," he stammered, surprised and slightly embarrassed.

Y/N chuckled, handing him the glass. "He was 'busy,'" she said, making air quotes.

Soobin gratefully took a long drink, his relief evident. The live chat, meanwhile, had erupted into a frenzy. Fans recognized Y/N's voice; she was a known friend of TXT and frequently featured in their off-camera antics.

"Is that Y/N?" "OMG, Y/N is there!" The comments flew by rapidly.

Soobin, noticing the fans' excitement, shyly motioned for Y/N to come closer to the camera. "They want to say hi," he said, his voice still a bit hoarse.

Y/N leaned into frame, waving cheerfully. "Hi everyone! Remember to drink your water and not to eat too spicy food," she joked, earning a laugh from Soobin.

The rest of the live was a blur of playful banter between the two, with Soobin trying to regain his composure and Y/N teasing him gently. The fans loved it, flooding the chat with hearts and comments about the duo's chemistry.

After the live ended, Soobin turned to Y/N, still a bit flustered. "Thanks for the rescue," he said, his eyes softening.

"Anytime," Y/N replied with a smile. "But maybe next time, stick to less spicy food."

Soobin laughed, his earlier embarrassment fading away. "I'll try, but no promises."

Their easy conversation continued, filled with laughter and light teasing. It was clear to anyone watching that there was a special connection between them, one that went beyond mere friendship.

Unbeknownst to them, Beomgyu watched from the doorway, a satisfied grin on his face. His plan had worked better than he'd hoped. As he quietly retreated, he made a mental note to tease Soobin about it later. For now, though, he was content to leave the two in their little bubble, their laughter echoing down the hallway.
