enhypen friendstolovers heejake heeseung kpop

late night sleepovers in each other's rooms, hands lingering too long during rehearsals, sharing clothes, quiet touches, inside jokes - it's always been just them. at least, that's what heeseung and jake tell themselves. but after a frightening moment on stage and an injury that left emotions running dangerously high, the line between friendship and something else started to blur in ways neither of them knows how to ignore anymore. suddenly every glance feels too loaded, every touch lingers too long, and the affection they've always shared begins to feel painfully different. caught between years of familiarity and feelings they were never supposed to notice, heeseung and jake find themselves asking the same terrifying question. if it feels this natural, was it ever casual to begin with?

The Freak Circus x Reader

You were loved. The Beloved Little Princess, the servants coo as the little girl passes through the halls with her brothers, always attentive and protective. Your father, albeit busy behind his desk, always made time for you. However that all changed when your new mother was introduced, a step-sister following. She reminded you of a doll. She was bright and cheerful at first but since your brothers didn't accept her, and your father barely paid attention to her, she started to act differently. Your new mother wanted to make her daughter the princess of the L/n family, and she will do anything, anything at all to make it happen. The first step was getting you out of the picture. Little by little, with staged accidents which her daughter gladly played the part, their love, trust, and respect for you disappeared. The pair always played the victim, accusing you of not wanting them to be apart of the family. Years flew by with this torment, no matter how much your pleaded, begged them to realize that you would never do any of that. They never listened, and the breaking point came when you finally realized that nothing will ever change. It will always be her, not you. So, the first chance you got you left that house. Best decision you could ever make. The small cramped apartment might be a drastic change from your lavish bedroom, but you were away from them. You wanted to turn a new leaf in this small city and have a normal loving life. Who knew that you'd be living a life far from normal as a horror circus rolls into town and you catch their attention when you saved their quiet Pierrot. The love you so craved from family, he will give it to you, destroy anything that dares to snuff it out, and give you all that is his. Though, he might not be the only one...
