Babymonster One Shot

Dorm Romance (Part 1)

Life in the BABYMONSTER dorm was never dull. Between practice, promotions, and trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy, the members relied on each other for comfort and support. But tonight, there was something else making waves through the dorm - Asa's unusually affectionate behavior toward Rora.

It had started subtly that morning, with Asa giving Rora a back hug in the kitchen while she was making breakfast. But as the day went on, the displays of affection became more frequent and more... public. By evening, it was impossible to ignore.

The members were scattered around the living room, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation after a long day. Ruka, Pharita, and Chiquita were nestled on the large couch, Rami was sprawled out on the floor with her phone, and Ahyeon sat by the window, sipping on her coffee with a book open in her lap.

Asa walked into the room, immediately spotting Rora at the dining table, flipping through a fashion magazine. With a mischievous grin, she strolled over, slipping her arms around Rora's shoulders from behind.

"Hey, cutie," Asa greeted, pressing a kiss to the top of Rora's head.

Rora smiled softly, though her eyes didn't leave the magazine. "You've been extra today," she said, half-joking.

"You don't like it?" Asa asked, pouting slightly as she tightened her hold and rested her chin on Rora's shoulder.

Before Rora could answer, Chiquita chimed in from the couch, grinning. "Oh, she likes it. She's just trying to act cool."

Pharita snickered, leaning back into the cushions. "Yeah, Rora's not fooling anyone. She's totally into it."

Rora shot her friends a glare, but her cheeks were visibly pink. "Can't a girl read in peace?"

"Not when your girlfriend's being all lovey-dovey with you," Rami teased from the floor, her eyes never leaving her phone. "Honestly, it's impressive. Asa-unnie's been glued to you all day."

Asa grinned and kissed Rora's cheek, her affection only growing more pronounced as she soaked in the teasing from the others. "What can I say? I'm just in a good mood. And I like showing off my girlfriend."

Ruka, sitting on the couch with her arms crossed, rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her smile. "Ugh, gross. Could you two get a room?"

"Jealous?" Asa shot back, sticking her tongue out at Ruka.

"Not even a little," Ruka retorted, though her amused expression betrayed her words.

Rora, caught somewhere between being flustered and amused, tried to focus back on her magazine. "You're all terrible," she muttered, though the small smile on her lips gave her away.

Ahyeon, who had been quietly observing the scene from her spot near the window, chuckled. "It's cute, though. It's nice to see you two so close."

Rora groaned, burying her face in her hands. "Why are you all like this?"

"Because you make it so easy," Rami said with a grin, rolling onto her back and staring at the ceiling. "Plus, it's funny. You try to act all cool and unaffected, but Asa-unnie's got you wrapped around her finger."

Asa beamed and squeezed Rora's hand, leaning her head on Rora's shoulder. "Exactly! I've got her right where I want her."

Rora sighed, but her tone was more playful than annoyed. "You're ridiculous."

"And you love me," Asa quipped, flashing her a cheeky grin.

Ruka pretended to gag. "Ugh, please. I think I might actually throw up."

Chiquita giggled from the couch. "At least wait until we're all asleep to be this mushy."

Pharita nodded sagely, trying to hide her own amusement. "Yeah, I mean, we get it. You're in love. But could you, like, not in front of us?"

Rora shot them all a look of mock annoyance, though she couldn't stop herself from leaning into Asa's touch. "I hate you all."

Rami smirked, propping herself up on her elbows. "Sure you do. You look real upset right now."

Asa, enjoying every second of the teasing, kissed Rora on the cheek again, earning another round of exaggerated groans from Ruka and Pharita. "They're just jealous," Asa said, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Jealous of what?" Ruka asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Of watching you two be nauseatingly cute? Yeah, no thanks."

"Yeah, Ruka-unnie's right," Pharita added, still grinning. "You two are too much sometimes."

Chiquita, who had been quiet for a moment, suddenly burst into laughter. "Okay, but seriously, it's kind of adorable. Like, they're basically the definition of puppy love."

Rami nodded in agreement. "True. It's like watching a rom-com play out in real life."

Asa shot them a mock glare. "Hey, I'll take that as a compliment."

Rora sighed dramatically, but her blush gave her away. "I guess I don't have a choice in this, huh?"

"Nope," Asa said brightly, planting another kiss on Rora's temple for good measure. "You're stuck with me."

Ruka stretched her arms above her head and stood up, making her way to the kitchen. "Alright, I've had enough. If you two are going to be this gross all night, I need a snack to distract myself."

Pharita followed her, tossing a playful grin over her shoulder. "Just try to keep it PG while we're still in the room, okay?"

"Or don't," Rami called from her spot on the floor, flipping onto her stomach again. "Honestly, this is great entertainment. Keep it going, Asa-unnie."

Asa winked at her. "Oh, I plan to."

Rora, still flustered but clearly enjoying the attention, rolled her eyes. "You're all insufferable."

Asa laughed, giving Rora's hand a squeeze. "Love you too."

Despite the constant teasing from their members, there was no mistaking the warmth that filled the dorm that night. The other girls might joke about Asa's constant affection, but deep down, they all appreciated seeing how happy Rora was. Even if they'd never admit it out loud.

"Alright, alright," Ruka called from the kitchen, her voice echoing through the dorm. "But seriously, can you tone it down just a little? Or at least save some of that energy for practice tomorrow."

"Can't make any promises," Asa replied with a grin, resting her head on Rora's shoulder. "But I'll try."

With one final groan from Ruka and Pharita, the dorm settled into a comfortable buzz, filled with laughter and light-hearted teasing. And even though Asa's affection for Rora was on full display, no one could deny the happiness it brought to the room.

Because at the end of the day, love - even when it came with endless teasing - was always something worth celebrating.
