Just Say It Back ( Hanni x Male Reader)

24) Don't Overwork Yourself

Y/N's POV

Life had taken a swift turn for you ever since you signed on as an exclusive producer under HYBE. From being just a random barista to now a producer for the largest K-pop music company in the world – life had surely dealt you an unexpected hand.

After being signed, your days turned into a whirlwind of creativity and hard work. You were putting your heart and soul into the LE SSERAFIM's album, determined to make it as outstanding as possible.

Hours upon hours were spent in the studio, the glow of the studio lights casting a warm ambiance on your ceaseless dedication. Late nights and early mornings became your routine. You were exhausted, but the fire of passion within you was relentless, urging you to give your best shot.

Your days were marked by persistent effort, each chord and melody meticulously refined. It was a difficult journey, but you persevered, the promise of a brilliant album driving you forward.

Amidst the exhaustion, there was excitement too. Your original song about Hanni was chosen as the title track, a testament to your musical prowess. And not just that – the CEO's appreciation of your style led to additional requests for b-sides. The workload increased, but your love for music made the effort worthwhile.

One day, as you were engrossed in tweaking a synth melody, a soft knock on the studio door broke your concentration.

*Knock Knock*

Looking up, you were greeted by Chaewon's radiant smile. The leader of LE SSERAFIM stood there with a mix of cheerfulness and worry in her voice as she remarked,

Chaewon: "Hey, Y/N," she said, her voice carrying a blend of cheerfulness and a bit of concern. "Working late again, huh?"

Her presence was a pleasant surprise, her concern like a warm blanket on a chilly night. Chaewon had often waved at you after practice sessions, a small act that created an unexpected bond between the two of you.

Y/N: "Yeah, I guess the music bug doesn't care about the clock." Your response was met with her laughter, and you couldn't help but smile. "Isn't it late Chaewon, you should head home and get some rest," you said with a bit of a concerned tone."

The group's busy schedule was no secret. They were putting their heart and soul into refining their dance routines and stage presence for the upcoming album release.

Chaewon: "I could say the same for you," She said while pouting. "Anyway, I actually have a reason for coming here," she said, making you wonder why.

Your curiosity was piqued, eyebrows raised in anticipation. She elegantly placed an assortment of snacks on the table – a delightful mix of chocolates, fruits, and cookies.

Chaewon: "I thought you might need a snack break. Creativity requires sustenance," she said as she grinned. "I just noticed that you would always stay late in the studio, you I wanted to make sure you were eating well..."

You could feel your heart warmed by her sweet gesture. She didn't have to do any of this, but the fact that she did, made you very happy.

Y/N: "Thank you, Chaewon..." Your gratitude was sincere, your heart warming with each passing second. "How about joining me? I can't finish all this by myself."

You pulled out a chair, and she gracefully settled down beside you. Conversations flowed effortlessly, and soon, the studio wasn't just a place for music, but also for sharing stories and laughter.

As the night deepened, your eyes locked for a fleeting moment, the atmosphere suddenly laced with a tender connection. Shyness danced around you both, adding a charming tinge to the air.

Time slipped by unnoticed, lost in the comfort of each other's company.

Chaewon: "Well I guess it's time for me to head back," she said, reluctantly breaking the spell.
"This talk was unexpectedly wonderful. I'm glad we had this moment."

Y/N: "Me too." Your voice was soft, and a genuine smile played on your lips. "Thanks for the food and the company, Chaewon. It means a lot."

Chaewon: "It was my pleasure, really." She scratched her head, a hint of bashfulness in her eyes. "Promise me you won't overexert yourself."

Her pinky finger extended towards you, a silent pledge waiting to be sealed.

Y/N: "I promise." Your own pinky finger wrapped around hers, sealing the promise with a touch of sweetness.

Chaewon: "Let's do this again sometime, shall we? I really enjoyed our chat."

Your agreement was swift and eager, the promise of more interactions filling the air with positivity.

As she bid you goodnight, a warmth remained in your heart. Beyond her role as a leader, Chaewon was a caring soul, and this spontaneous encounter felt like the beginning of something beautiful.
