Side story #1 of the Belated Bloom Universe series:
When Renjun first met Yixing he had no idea what his Hyung had gone through. He had no clue what hid beneath the surface of that sweet smile. But he would soon come to find out just how far gone hi...

Renjun stared wide-eyed as the elevator gave a soft bell toll when it finally came to a complete stop, and the doors smoothly opened, revealing a bare hallway.
It was hard for him to believe anything in the SM building could look so unappealing, everything had been so bright and glamorous on all the other floors. But this floor looked very...bland.
Their tour guide, Taeyong, swiftly exited the lift and cutely gestured for them to follow.
"And this is the dance studio floor, where you will probably be spending most of your time- literally," he said, a soft, charming smile making its way onto his face.
Renjun had only met Lee Taeyong 3 days ago, but he already liked him. The alpha was kind and attentive, always trying to find ways to help them out as they settled into their new life under SM entertainment. The older trainee had a sharp, handsome face with round dark eyes, always filled with warmth. His long black hair flopping to the side, almost covering one of his eyes. The older boy was an idol dream- the face of a prince, with the body of a dancer.
Renjun had been intimidated by him at first, but Taeyong had quickly won him over with his warm charms and disarming smiles. And after watching the kind alpha help all of them the past three days, he could see why the other trainees said they viewed the handsome alpha as an unofficial mom of sorts.
Next, the older, taller beta of the group stepped out after Taeyong and cheerfully waved for the group to follow as well giving them a blinding smile.
"Don't worry, it's not as bad as Taeyong makes it sound- you won't be here ALL the time. Taeyong-ah is just dramatic."
This is Johnny, a giant that towered over Renjun- which wasn't hard considering how small he was. But Johnny wasn't just tall, he was shockingly tall- one of the tallest trainees Renjun had met.
But once again, just like he had with Taeyong, Renjun had quickly grown fond of Johnny. Even though it had just been a few days, he almost couldn't believe he had been scared of him when they had first met. Johnny cracked jokes left and right, yet he was firm when he needed to be serious. Renjun found himself seeking out Johnny whenever the older boy was in the room, always being drawn in by the beta's comforting, friendly presence.
Most of the trainees seemed to view Johnny, as the 'dad' of the group. It was strange; the beta being the dad, the alpha being the mom- but he could definitely see their roles suited them well.
"Jo~hnny" Taeyong whined, "Don't tell them that!" the alpha gave a childish huff and stomped his foot in indignation.
'Cute' Renjun couldn't help but giggle at the alpha's pouting.
Slowly everyone moved out of the elevator to stand awkwardly in a squished blob in the small hallway. None of them willing to step past the two older trainees before them.
