Not Your Usual

Summary:

TXT isn’t a “typical” band: not in the relationship they have with MOA, not in their lack of definite roles, and definitely not in the way their pack dynamics play out.

Chapter Text

[Testing Yeonjun’s Patience]

 

Eomma: I’m getting a headache. 

Eomma: Either the fame has finally made my head too big

Eomma: Or one of you is on your bullshit again.

Eomma: Until someone fesses up I’m blaming Beomgyu. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: I always feel so attacked in this chat. 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Because you deserve it. 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Also, the fuck is this name? 

 

Chaotic Neutral: The truth. 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Why do you even have control over this. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Why else would I have been the one who made the damn chat. 

 

Eomma: Watch your fucking language. 

Eomma: Back to the point. The hell did you do this time? 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Live. That’s it. 

Chaotic Neutral: All I do is live and this is how I get treated. Smh. 

 

Leader: At least it’s not me. 

 

Eomma: Actually, now that you’re here

 

Leader: Whhhhhhy.

 

Eomma: My bullshit radar is going off. It’s either you or the brat. 

 

Leader: I’ve been recording all morning. You know that. You’re with me.

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: So it’s Beomgyu. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: This is beta discrimination. 

 

Leader: You legit get away with more than Kai.

 

Chaotic Neutral: Okay, yeah.

Chaotic Neutral: BUT

Chaotic Neutral: That’s for two reasons.

Chaotic Neutral: Kai is an angel who almost never does anything wrong.

Chaotic Neutral: And I’m stealthy as fuck. 

 

Angel Face: Did someone say angel? I’m here now! 😇 

 

Eomma: I would hate that if you were literally anybody else. 

 

Angel Face: 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: I would stop talking to you if you were literally anyone else. 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: But since it’s you, it’s fricking adorable. 

 

Leader: Insanely adorable. 

 

Eomma: Blasphemously adorable. 

 

Angel Face: 🥰

Angel Face: What did Beomgyu-hyung do?

 

Chaotic Neutral: N O T H I N G .

 

Leader: Bull.

 

Chaotic Neutral: YOU’RE JUST SAVING YOURSELF.

 

Angel Face: Why the caps lock?

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Put the caps down, weirdo. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: I DO WHAT I WA

Chaotic Neutral: hold up

 

Leader: ?

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Is he dead? It’s been 15 minutes??

 

Eomma: Hell no. No one kills my brats but me. I’m going back to the dorm. 

 

Angel Face: That is sweet and scary at the same time. 

 

Leader: I’ll go with you. I’m too distracted to work now. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: I’m alive. Thanks so much for the concern. 

 

Eomma: I was prepared to wrestle you from the jaws of death just now. 

 

Leader: I was not. 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Lol. 

 

Angel Face: At least you’re honest! 

 

Chaotic Neutral: So… I may or may not have left the stove on. 

 

Eomma: Jesus. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: And a roll of paper towels I left by said stove may have been right in the line of fire. 

 

Eomma: Jesus.

 

Chaotic Neutral: So that roll might have burst into flames. 

 

Eomma: J e s u s .

 

Chaotic Neutral: And, long story short, I may or may not be staring down a massive inferno. 

 

Eomma: JESUS. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Welp, we just lost the couch. 

 

Eomma: JESSYIFHOH

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Hyung. I’m at the dorm with him. So is Kai. I think one of us would have noticed a raging house fire. Calm down. 

 

Leader: He almost jumped out of a window. It’s a little late for that. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: OMYGODHEBELIEVEDME.

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: You’re acting like he isn’t going to strangle you when he gets here. 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: The only good thing about this is that I can hear Hyuka scream-laughing from his room. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: he’s not the only one

Chaotic Neutral: god i think i’m crying 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: Great. So when are you telling us what’s actually wrong?

 

Leader: Wait what.

 

Chaotic Neutral: I didn’t wake up today to be exposed in a chat of my own making. 

 

Angel Face: Something’s wrong? Are you sick, hyung? 

 

Chaotic Neutral: No. 

Chaotic Neutral: Well, kinda. 

 

Eomma: Spill.

 

Angel Face: Fuhgjb

Angel Face: That scared the crap out of me. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Most things scare the crap out of you. 

 

Leader: I mean, point. 

 

Angel Face: I just came out to have a good time and I honestly feel so attacked. 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: I would cringe at that meme but that’s not the point right now.

 

Chaotic Neutral: Quick, Hyuka, meme again so he’s distracted. 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: You’ve smelled weird for hours now. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: So you were just waiting to call me out. 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: No shit.  

 

Eomma: We’re here and we left our keys behind so open up. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Am I allowed to say no to that? 

 

Leader: … I don’t think so? 

 

Angel Face: Hyung, you do smell off. I can’t believe I just noticed it. 

 

Eomma: God so help me I will break down this door. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Uuuuuugggggggghh.

Chaotic Neutral: So, you know how Taehyun and Soobin went into heat last week? 

 

Leader: It would be kind of hard to forget since that’s almost half of us. 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Who says you need a calculator for math? 

 

Leader: Shhhhhhh.

 

Eomma: Why can’t we do this in person? 

 

Chaotic Neutral: Like I was saying

 

Eomma: 😑

 

Chaotic Neutral: I think my body’s pushing me into a phantom heat. 

 

Leader: … 

 

Eomma: … 

 

KnowledgeForKnowledge’sSake: … 

 

Angel Face: … 

Angel Face: Wut
