When Park Seo-jin debuts as the sixth member of Cortis, fans are captivated by his breathtaking visuals, flawless performances, and quiet, mysterious personality. Known as a perfectionist, Siwoo dedicates every waking moment to improving himself, determined to prove that he deserves his place beside the other five members. But fame comes with a price. His reserved nature is quickly misunderstood. A missed smile becomes "proof" that he hates his fans. Edited clips spread across social media, twisting harmless moments into scandals. Rumors grow faster than the truth, painting him as arrogant, cold, and ungrateful. No matter how hard he works, it never seems to be enough. As the hate intensifies, Seo retreats further into himself. Behind closed doors, the confident performer disappears, replaced by a boy struggling under the weight of expectations. Yet whenever his members, staff, or fans ask if he's okay, his answer never changes: "I'm fine." While the world watches the idol they think they know, nobody notices the loneliness hidden behind his calm expression-or the cracks beginning to form beneath the surface. Caught between the pressure of perfection and the fear of disappointing those around him, Seo must decide whether continuing to suffer in silence is worth protecting the image everyone expects him to be. A story about fame, misunderstanding, friendship, and learning that strength isn't pretending you're okay when you're not. https://www.wattpad.com/user/Stxxry_lights They're definitely my biggest inspiration for this.

Ignored. Sent away. Forgotten. Now he's back after almost two years from the hell they call Lockwood, all smiles and cheery expressions but under that exterior is a lone boy, crying for help he will never ask for. He was sent away to be 'fixed' but in the end, what can you do when people drive you to your tipping point? Do you bend to their will... or do you break?

Seven older brothers. One crowded house. They gave him a place to live- but forgot to give him a home. Growing up, his life was perfectly organized on paper, but entirely empty in reality. To his seven older brothers, he was a responsibility to manage rather than a sibling to love. In the chaotic rush of looking after him, they completely missed him, leaving him to grow up isolated and invisible in the middle of a loud family. But you can't ignore a brother forever. When the emotional distance between them finally shatters, seven older brothers are forced to face the truth: they kept him safe, but they completely forgot to raise him. Now, they have to figure out how to stop being just guardians, and finally learn how to be big brothers.

For my entire life my older brothers have treated me like I am a fragile baby and they still do. Some of it is for their amusement and some of it is because they are just way too overprotective. There are five of them and one of me, not to mention they are all older, so there isn't much I can do about any of it. Elijah is my oldest brother at 22 and my second oldest brother Easton who is 20. My third oldest brother is Henry and is in his second year of college. Alexander, who goes by Alex, is 15 minutes older than his twin Miles and they are both 17 and are in their first year of college. Then finally I am 15, the youngest brother and am in high school in year 10. My Brothers are super overprotective and treat me like I am a small child and It does not help that I look like I am 12 and am super short. I've got this messy dark brown hair that never cooperates, along with these big brown eyes that seem to make me look even younger. Which does not help my case for my brothers to treat me like I am older. Then my parents are super rich and constantly working so I only see them on holidays so my brothers have raised me. This is my life as the younger brother of 5 brothers. Highest Ratings: #3 Teasing #156 Humor #28 Overprotective #17 Olderbrothers #11 Pranks #36 Brothers #242 Gay

At first, the members aren't sure what to think. How could someone join so late and suddenly become part of their family? But Jisung has a way of making everyone feel safe. Whether it's helping Hongjoong carry the weight of leadership, staying up all night with Mingi when his anxiety gets bad, encouraging Wooyoung when he's doubting himself, or silently taking care of everyone before himself, Jisung quickly becomes the heart of ATEEZ. One member. Eight hearts. Forever nine. ❤️
