Chapter Text
[Rounded up in S1 of Busted!]
When the man whipped out the orange flag and yelled out to catch them, Sejeong felt her heart drop to her stomach. The sound of hurried footsteps and shrieks filled her ears as she turned to see the entire team scatter at the sight of people in hospital gowns come after them. A yelp escaped her own lips as she sprinted away from one that lunged at her and spotted an exit with a glance.
"What do I do? I can't just leave them all here!" She muttered to herself as she wildly searched for the rest of her team. She looked on in disbelief as she watched Min-young and Jae-suk get taken away.
"Se-jeong!" Sehun called out as he outmanuevered another swipe from a failed test. Wihin a few bounds he was panting by her side, asking if she was okay.
She nodded in reply and gave him a smile of thanks, about to say something when she felt a weight shove her forward. Suddenly she couldn't move her arms. She let out a wail of surprise and glanced up to see Sehun next to her also apprehended.
They had been caught. What was going to happen to them now?
--------
[Caught and tied together in S1 of Busted!]
The smell of the lit string was permeating into the air. And the sound of it fizzing also filled the team's senses. This was insane -- this couldn't be real right?! This is a variety show!!
Sehun's thoughts were overflowing as his ears blocked out the conversation happening between C and Jae-suk. That is until Se-jeong nudged him with her shoulder. With his head turned toward her, it was clear as day the uncertainty and nervousness in her eyes.
"This isn't real, right? They wouldn't do this to us, right?" Se-jeong said with a small smile on her face, her habit of covering up her expression shining through.
"Of course not." Sehun replied with certainty, not wanting to make the idol feel worse.
She gave a grin and nodded, her reaction indicating to him that he had done the right thing.

[Team dinner after filming]
"Cheers!" The cast of Busted said together as they clinked their glasses together.
The smell of barbeque hugged all of them as they proceeded though the night eating and laughing about what happened during shooting.
"I still can't believe you tried to trick us!" Se-jeong exclaimes as she broke out into a grin, catching the way Sehun chuckled next to her.
"We couldn't just let you guys win!" Sehun retorted before he took a sip from his drink.
"Sure, hyungnim." Se-jeong said with an eyeroll, not noticing how the idol beside her seemed to deflate at the step down of names.
The others at the table seemed to notice though as Jong-min whispered to Jae-suk with an excited look in his eye. It was obvious to the older cast mates that the two young idols had definitely gotten closer since season one of the show.
"Hey, kids! No fighting here!" Jae-suk teased.
As the night came to an end, the team began to say their goodbyes, albeit a bit bittersweet despite the fact they would see each other in a week. Se-jeong giggled as she watched Kwang-soo and Jae-suk bicker as they usually did. She certainly felt blessed to have gotten casted with this legendary group of people.
A shuffle to her left caught her attention, making her turn. Sehun stood tall next to her as he looked on at the scene in front of him -- his face a bit red.
"Are you okay, Sehun?" She quietly said with a tug on his jacket. She had seen him drink some with the others cast members earlier.
He turned to her with a happy expression on his face, his eyes taking on a soft look. It took him a moment to reply, but with a hum and a nod of his head.
"Eh? Is Sehun okay?" Min-young asked as she took a step closer, the others noticing as well.
"I'm okay." The idol replied softly with a smile, the action catching the others off guard as they "wowed" to each other.
Who knew there was a side of Sehun like this??

[An accident during filming S2]
They were trying to light the incense in the holder. It seemed to be the key to escaping the room the young girls in white shoved them in to. What they all didn't expect was the incense to explode in front of them.
Se-jeong known for her reactions, let out a scream of surprise as she ducked and fell to the ground just as everyone else backed away from the sudden noise. The adrenaline must've blocked out the pain because as she stood up, there was a chorus of exclamations laced in concern as Sehun suddenly held one of her hands palm up.
"Se-jeong, your hand!" He exclaimed, his eyes wide.
With a glance, the idol let out a gasp at the large gash in her palm. The blood had spilled over and was soaking into her coat, into Sehun's hand and dripping to the floor. There must've been some glass or some stone that she had landed on when she hit the ground.
"Oh no! We need medical aid here!" Jae-suk called out over his shoulder, his gaze catching a staff member with a med kit running over.
"Are you okay, Se-jeong?"
"Does it hurt?"
"How did this happen?"
The blend of the cast members voices filled her ears all at once. Se-jeong had to do something. So they wouldn't worry it and that it wouldn't seep into her own emotions.
"It's okay! I'm fine! It's just a small scratch." She replied to them with a smile on her face. The coos from Jong-min and Min-young made her feel comforted as the staff member dabbed at the gash gently.
Sehun shifted to her other side to give the staff some room. When she lifted her gaze to meet his, he gave her a smile of reassurance. Then she felt a warm hand in her uninjured one, making her blink. She hadn't been aware her hands were shaking the entire time.
Not until Sehun's hand in hers made her aware.
