Y/N's POV

It's always his body they talk about. People only know him for ripping his shirt on stage. They don't talk about anything else anymore. If they hear the name Lee Jeno they will talk about his looks. Not his talent, not his beautiful personality. It's not that I think he's ugly, but it's sad how he only gets recognition for this. People sexualise him and he's only 20. So young and sweet and yet everyone can only talk this dirty. He says he doesn't care about what people say, but I see it in the little things he does when there's no camera around. He's hurting and it's making me sad seeing him like this. Lee Jeno is more than just a hot body.

It's only 9am and he's sitting behind his computer. I walk into the room and stare at him in silence, I don't want to interrupt him with whatever he's doing. He takes his glasses off and turns around in his chair. "Oh y/n you're here. I thought you were in the kitchen." He said. "You didn't notice me walking in?" He shook his head and chuckles. "What were you doing anyway?" I asked but he doesn't say a word for a good minute. "Just. You know, seeing how fans enjoyed our performance from yesterday." He seemed off. Something is clearly bothering him and he doesn't want to say it. But I know him too good for this.

"Can I get a hug?" I asked him. Jeno smiles and gets out of his chair. He tackles me in a big hug. "You know that I love you right." I told him. "Where does that come from? Of course I know, and I love you too! Way more than you do." He chuckles and gets silent right after. "Did you already have breakfast? You were up early today." I asked. "I'm fine, I already ate." He says but I have a feeling he's lying about it. To protect me, that's what he told me last time I found out he lied about something so easy. "What did you eat then?" I asked. "Why so many questions? Well I just ate cereal." I shook my head. "Stop lying, I ate the last bit yesterday. You haven't had breakfast yet." He apologises and hugs me tighter. "I'm sorry, I'm just not hungry."

"Talk to me. I never see you skip a meal, definitely not breakfast." I looked him in the eyes. He sits up on the bed and holds my hands. He tries looking away from me but I don't let him. "I have been reading comments, not about how they enjoyed the stage but about me. Y/n be honest, are you with me for who I am or because of my appearance?" I was shocked when he asked that. "Why'd you ask me something like that? Jeno, I love you for who you are. The sweet, caring, honestly funny guy, that's what I love and fell in love with. I'm together with you because of who you are, do you understand?" He nods and mumbles a sorry. "Don't be sorry, I'm sorry that people are like that and don't see who you really are. You're more than just good looks." I hold him close to me. My hands cupping his face as his arms wrap around my waist.

"Don't be sad please. Remember that there are always people who love you for more than what they see. Your fans love you for your beautiful voice, your amazing dancing, how you care about others and how nice you actually are. And your family and the guys they all really love you having around. You're always so happy and cheer us up when we're down." I tell him all of the thing I love about him. He should know that he's more worth than he thinks he is. "Thank you baby." He gives me a small smile before hiding his face from me. He was hugging me with his head resting on my shoulder. He doesn't let go of me and neither do I. I'm sure that not only me but also Jeno enjoys this hug. "I love you so much, never forget that. And if something is bothering you, don't hold it for yourself. Tell me or someone of the boys, that will help."

Jeno pulls away from the hug, his eyes are red. "It's okay to cry." I whisper and give him a smile. "I cried on your shirt." He chuckles saying that but still feeling down. "That's fine." I wipe away the remaining tears of his cheeks. "Are you still not hungry?" I asked. "I kinda am." He answers. "I'll make you something. Is there anything you want?" He thinks for a second. "I want something sweet." I nod and give him a short kiss before going to the kitchen. I start making his breakfast, a little bit of everything. I want him to enjoy it, he deserves it. I feel 2 arms wrap around me as I was cutting different fruits. "Isn't this too much? Something easy would've been great." I shook my head. "You gotta eat a lot. What do you want to drink with it?" I asked.

"I can get that myself. And this is enough, you're not going to start making something extra." He stops me and turns me around so I'd face him. "Thank you baby, I love you!" He flashes me his eye smile. "I love you too, now sit down I'll bring you your food." I place down 3 different plates and his bowl of fruit. I sit with him to keep him company. "Do you like it?" I asked. "Of course! Your cooking is so amazing, teach me how." He smiles. It makes me feel good seeing him happy again. I'll love and take care of him as long as I can. Lee Jeno makes me feel so happy and good just with being himself. No one should tell him to change.

A/N: I wrote this not only because of Jeno who gets sexualised but all idols. I'm really getting sick of it! When will people realise that they're more than just that? They're human too! 💚🌱
