Illusions [Ateez x Reader]

Chapter 33

When San and I enter the recording studio, the other boys are already getting ready to start working. Eden is sitting in one of the chairs and I quickly move away from San, much to his displeasure, and take a seat next to Eden.

"Morning," I greet happily.

Eden looks at me with a raised eyebrow. "What's gotten into you?"

"I'm just happy," I reply, crossing my arms over my chest to fake an offended look. "Am I not allowed to be happy?"

"It's not that," Eden shakes his head. "Just with the whole apartment thingy, I would have thought you wouldn't be in a great mood for a while."

I shrug, a small smile beginning to play on my lips. "I have a few things to be happy about. I guess they are cancelling out my negative emotions."

I hear some chuckles come from behind me, causing me to turn and glare playfully at the members of Ateez behind me. They give me smiles, so I just shake my head and turn away and back towards Eden.

"Okay," Eden turns towards the boys. "Who wants to go first?"

Wooyoung shoots up from the couch quickly. "Me!"

As Wooyoung walks past us into the booth he shoots me a quick wink. I roll my eyes, trying to keep the blush rising on my face away. After a few hours, all of the boys went through their parts and Eden and I spent a few more hours after they went editing. Once we decided to finish up, I went to the recording studio KQ had given me to work in. I worked for a little while on some notes for me song, then pulled out my guitar. Before I can start the song, I hear a cough from the door.

     "Hey," I greet Ateez as I turn my head to face them, setting my guitar down beside me.

     They continue standing awkwardly in the door.

      "You can come in if you want," I chuckle, smirking. "I won't bite."

      The members of Ateez shuffle into the room after sharing careful glances.

     "What are you working on?" Hongjoong questions after they all get seated.

     "A song I've been working on for a while," I respond with a shrug.

    "How long is a while?" Seonghwa asks quietly.

      I pause. "Uh a month or so?"

      Mingi looks at me pointedly. "You don't sound so sure about that."

       I give him a unsure smile. "I don't really remember when I started it I guess."

    "Well what's it about?" Jongho inquires softly.

      "Uh," I freeze. "Stuff."

      "Stuff?" Yunho chuckles. "Care to be a bit more specific?"

      I shake my head. "Not really no."

    "Aww come on," Wooyoung whines at the same time San groans. "Please Y/N."

     "Not gonna happen," I state cheekily.

     Yeosang snaps his fingers with an idea. "You could sing it for us."

     "Yeah," Seonghwa agrees with him. "You wouldn't have to explain it for us then."

     I shrug, shrinking in on myself. "I don't know."

     "Please!" Hongjoong pouts, the others copying their leader soon afterwards.

       I try to keep my composure, but I soon give in. "Fine."
