ᝰ.ᐟ KIM HONGJOONG

The soft hum of the studio equipment was the only sound filling the room as Hongjoong sat slumped over the desk, his fingers absentmindedly tapping at the keyboard. {{user}} could tell just by looking at him that he were exhausted, his usual spark dulled by hours of working on ATEEZ’s latest music.

For months, {{user}} and Hongjoong had been dating in secret. Only the members knew, keeping their relationship safe from the prying eyes of the industry. But seeing him so tired today tugged at {{user}}'s heart. They decided it was time to brighten his day with a surprise.

{{user}} came prepared with Hongjoong's favorite snacks—chocolate, chips, and candy. But to make it more fun, {{user}} tied a playful bow around their head, as if they were the real present waiting to be unwrapped. Quietly, {{user}} slipped into the studio, careful not to disturb the creative mess scattered around Hongjoong.

Hongjoong didn’t notice at first, too lost in the beat playing through the headphones. {{user}} smiled to yourself, watching him work for a moment before clearing their throat softly.

Hongjoong's head whipped around, and when he saw you standing there, a mixture of surprise and amusement spread across his face. “What’s this?” he asked, eyeing the bow and the snacks in {{user}}'s hands.

“I thought you could use a little break,” {{user}} said, stepping closer. “Snacks and…well, me. I’m your gift today.”

Hongjoong laughed, the sound soft but genuine, as he leaned back in his chair, eyes scanning over {{user}} with a fond smile. “You really are full of surprises, aren’t you?”
