Seonghwa pov:

After a good talk with Jongho and a nice relaxing breakfast with the group, we all went and got washed up and dressed for the long day ahead. I have a quick shower and then get dressed in some jeans and a tank top with a loose shirt over top. We are all getting styled when we arrive at the photoshoot so comfort is the best option as I'll need it later. I quickly grab all my things I need for the day, debating on whether I should bring a comfort item just in case, but I decide against it. "I'll be fine, I'm not overwhelmed anymore," I reassure myself under my breath, and head into the living room to wait for the rest of the slow bunch. 

I sit and scroll on my phone waiting, the first to enter surprisingly is Woo. He sits next to me and gives me a soft smile. "How are you Hwa?" he says. "I'm good, Just glad everything is out in the open now, it feels like we are working as a team again" I reply with a relieved sigh and give a smile back. "Oh I'm glad, and honestly same, I think I'm just relieved because Mingi isnt as stressed any more as well. I'm so happy you have each other now too." Woo says as I lean in for a hug. We stay like that for a little as it is comfortable until the rest of the group come in giggling and hyped for the day ahead. We all gather a last things and head out to the cars. 

--------------------------------------------------------------

We arrive at our shoot and are getting styled straight away. Some of us getting dress first and some getting hair and makeup. Then swapping so me are all looking perfect for our magazine shoot. We shoot as a group first, we all gather in front of the neutral background and the bright lights are making us glow. We all pose naturally, laughing with each other as we enjoy the shoot together feeling like a team and gaining compliments from the lovely magazine staff. The group shoot ends happily and we move to unit shots before we end with individual ones. I'm with Hongjoong as usual, we work well together as the eldest and we do look nice together too. "You look so nice Hwa" Joong says smiling as we wait for the photographer to be ready. "Ah, thanks joong..." I feel my ears get a bit red, "You look nice too" I reply as the photographer starts to give out directions for the shots. 

Mine and Joong's shoot goes smoothy as we banter with each other and the photographer, creating good chemistry in the photos. We finish up and go to the dressing room to rest and eat before out individual shots. As I enter, I pass Jongho and Yeosang who are leaving for their unit shoot. "Hwa, you look so lovely!" Jongho and Yeosang both say as they pass and I feel even happier. We are all back in sync finally, and it feels like I'm floating. I smile and give a compliment back before I grab my food and chill on the sofa. 

I inhale my food, not realising how hungry I was due to being distracted by the good energy between the lads. I wipe my face and then lie back on the comfy sofa observing the group in the dressing room. I see Yungi in the corner paying games giggling and bickering as they go, Woosan are over the other side practising some choreo for our performance later and Hong is on his computer working on something but only with one earphone so he is aware of everyone. I smile to myself in content, not noticing the fuzzy feeling in my mind. 

I must have been spaced out for a while as I see Jongho and Yeosang return and Yungi leave for their unit shoot. I smile as Jongho walks over to me and sits next to me. "You okay Hwa? You look a bit spaced out" he say, softly chuckling. I look at him and I dont know what to say as I suddenly become aware of my fuzzy mind. "'m just happy" I reply, my tone going up slightly. Jongho smiles at the response, "I'm glad you're happy Hwa." He brings me in for a hug and ruffles my hair. I lean into the physical touch, knowing he's noticed the slight change but not questioning it. I lie in his lap and just enjoy the moment, letting the fuzziness take over for just a bit before I have to focus again. I didnt expect this to happen, but I'm glad it was a positive slip.

Jongho pov: 

As I walk back to the dressing room with Yeo after our shoot we chat casually about everything. "I'm just glad how insync we all are again and it's nice that Hwa trusts us to care for him while hes little even if we have a lot to learn." Yeo says smiling. I smile back agreeing, "It is nice, and when we have chance we need to spoil him" I say and Yeo nods. We arrive into the Dressing room and Yeosang goes to tell Yunho and Mingi they are next to shoot then goes to grab his food. I see Seonghwa on the sofa just looking arounf smiling, seemingly spaced out. Cute, I think, walking over to join him. "You okay Hwa? You look a bit spaced out" I say chuckling and sitting down. He takes a little to answer, but he is smiling at me. "'m just happy" he replies in a cute tone. I instantly know he's started to slip, luckly its positivley, which makes me glad. He deserves to be happy. "I'm glad you're happy Hwa." I say, bringing him into a hug and run my fingers through his hair. He slides to my lap and hums in content, I smile, letting him have this before we get back to work. 

"You're so cute bunny" I say as he looks up at me. He smiles shyly, hiding his face. "Jongie, dwont say dattt" he whines at me making him even cuter. I continue to pet his head, chuckling at his response. "Why not, it's true!" I say. "nuh uh," he says back, now pouting. I could die from his cuteness. I see Hongjoong smiling at us too out the corner of my eye. "Hwa, Jongho's right you know, you are the cutest." He says from across the room. Hwa hides again, his checks flushing from the attention. Me and Hong chuckle at him and I cuddle him. I hear a little "tank you..." from him and I tighten my cuddle. I could stay like this for ages, I think. 

We stay cuddled until it wat time to get touch ups for our individual shoots. "Hwa, love, We need to get up and get ready now for the rest of the day." I say, giving him a soft pat on his hip. He gives me a whine and a cute pout, but gets up and walks to the makeup chair to get his face touch ups and I sit in the chair next to him to get mine. I see him start to come to his self as he straightens up, he looks to me and smiles. "Thank you Jongho" he says. "No need to say thank you Hwa, I'm going to be here always to make you feel safe" I rely smiling back. We both nod at each other and finish getting ready for the rest of the shoot.
