Chapter Text
*the boys are on a short break visiting home*
"So, are you still happy in that boy group?" Jongseob's dad asks as he hands his son the rice bowl. Jongseob answers excitedly; "Yeah it's pretty awesome actually! And the boys are so nice. It feels like a family." The moment that word leaves his mouth, he sees his mother stiffen. "Don't worry mama, I'm not going to forget you." He softly squeezes her arm and she lightens up a bit. "Tell us more about the boys!" She says, "what are they like?"
The boy can't help but laugh, because so many happy memories wash over him, making him smile. "Well, we have Keeho, he's from Canada actually. He picked up Korean really quickly and he has a fancy accent when he speaks it." He starts off. "And there's Theo, he played as a princess in a few of our videos." He snickers at the memory of Theo choosing him as the winner for her hand. They had so much fun filming that episode.
Jongseob continues, "Then of course Jiung, he never fails to hype us up. The way he loves his fans and the crowd is so admirable." He vividly remembers his friend jumping excitedly on stage as they sang Last Call and seeing him shed a tear when he realised how far they had come. That moment will forever be engraved in his memory. Looking out over the sea of lights and fans cheering them on and enjoying every minute with them, while the confetti rained around them like soft snow. It was magical.
"Oh and Intak! He is also a rapper like me. He looks cool and tough but he's very sweet." He smiles as he recalls him doing the cutest ending fairies. "Lastly we have Soul. He's actually from Japan. He had a hard time learning Korean too so I picked up Japanese to help him. He's an amazing breakdancer and he's so talented. He's always a little bit quiet, but very fun to be around." Jongseob remembers seeing him dance and thinking his back would give out. They always play video games together when they have the time. When they're together, Soul's real character comes out. Jongseob loves those moments.
"You look so grown up." His mom says, stroking his hair. "I'm glad you could find the time to come and visit us." Her son smiles at her. "I miss you guys, I'm very glad the group is so much like a family, but I miss my real family too." He admits. "We're happy you're chasing your dreams son." His dad adds.
