“Admit that I love Daeshim? Wow. You guys are funny.” (on VLIVE)

Band Members Relationships |

Hell Flame | N/A

Autumn Leaves | 6/20 > 19/20 (their relationship won’t be good at all at first, but then it’ll get a lot better as they spend more time together)
First Impression: Ezra didn’t think much about him at first. Ezra noticed that Daeshim was really tall and that he seemed like a really serious person and put together person. Dae’s demeanor very slightly annoyed Ezra because he thought he seemed stuck up.
Relationship: After spending some time with Dae, he still annoyed Ezra sometimes because of how critical he is and they definitely argue sometimes, but they also have a lot of good times. More good times than bad times. Sometimes they get coffee together and Ezra knows that if he needs to, he can come to Dae for advice. Sometimes they get drunk together and when this happens it's a complete mess. They both end up being emotional and regretting it the next day, and they don’t really see it, but as this happens, they grow closer. They have a close love-hate relationship, but it's really them subconsciously acting mean to each other to hide their feelings. Fans probably ship them lmao

Starlight | 14/20 > 17/20
First Impression: Hikari seemed kind of cold at first but then seemed like a pretty welcoming and bright person, so he had quite a positive first reaction, so Ezra was nice to him
Relationship: They mostly have a good relationship and Hikari helps Ezra get more comfortable with physical affection so Ezra becomes really appreciative of that. Ezra doesn’t really mind Minsung’s clinginess and actually enjoys it. If Minsung is abrasive towards Ezra, Ezra will get very upset, and Ezra doesn’t like when he says he’s fine when he’s not, but he learns why he says that and eventually tries to comfort Minsung instead of getting upset. Ezra eventually becomes affectionate with Starlight and they also like baking together. Also, Ezra mostly calls him by his stage name because it's in Japanese.

Forever Rain | 14/20 > 17/20
First Impression: Ezra didn’t have much of a grand first impression of Koda. He knew he was shy and took a mental note of it, but that’s pretty much it.
Relationship: After learning only a little bit about Koda’s personality, Ezra made it a point to be nice to him. Of course he slips up sometimes and ends up feeling super bad, but he can’t stand when he takes his anger out on Koda. Ezra admires how hard working Koda is, but also worries about his health. He usually peeks into the practice room that Koda is in to check on him before he goes back to the dorm, Koda also helps Ezra with his dancing sometimes. Koda kinda reminds Ezra of his little sister, so he wants to take care of him.

Wild Child | 4/20 > 16/20
First Impression: Ezra didn’t like the way Hongseok held himself and was basically annoyed every time the boy spoke. Ezra looked at him like he’s an immature kid.
Relationship: They argued A LOT at first, it was not good. Ezra got inexplicably mad at Hongseok and didn’t put up with any of his shit. After the whole group got closer, and as a result Ezra and Hongseok became closer as well, they started to stop picking fights with each other and started to understand each other a bit better. They actually realized that they relate to each other in some ways and Hongseok is easily able to make Ezra laugh. But that being said, Ezra still doesn’t put up with Hongseok’s shit if he is acting arrogant.

Fallen Angel | 15/20 > 19/20
First Impression: He noticed that he was very tall like Dae. Ezra also found Duri to be hospitable and kind of serious since he didn’t express himself much at first. That’s about it.
Relationship: Ezra finds himself picking fights with Duri sometimes because of the responsibility he has in the group, which doesn’t make much sense, but Ezra wishes that he could be like Duri. He admires how responsible Duri is to lead the group and take care of everyone and he also cares about Duri a lot, kind of aggressively reminds Duri to take care of himself, and also eventually becomes affectionate with him. At first he kinda has complicated feelings for Duri, not knowing if he wanted to be Duri or be with Duri but he eventually figured out that it was the latter.

Stories with other slots | (Kinda answered this in the relationships part, but I want to answer in more detail here!)

Autumn Leaves: When the group started practicing together at first, Ezra was annoyed at how critical Oliver was and how he seemed like he thought he was better than everyone else, or at least that's how Ezra perceived him and his attitude. As they began to actually get to know each other a bit better, Ezra realized that he wasn’t as stuck up as he thought he was and that Dae is actually fun to hang out with, joke around with, and talk to. When Ezra realized this, they began to hang out together more. Going to get coffee together became a frequent thing and Ezra didn’t mind listening to Oliver talk about philosophical things, he found it interesting and paid close attention. Then when they got drunk together for the first time, Ezra realized that there was a completely different side to Oliver and that he was actually very similar to Oliver and he started to trust him more. He knew that Oliver wasn’t just some emotionally distant robot, he just needed some time to grow because he had been hurt, just like Ezra. Ezra didn’t actually know that he had romantic feelings for Dae until he saw people on Twitter shipping them and realized that seeing those things made him feel weird, but not a bad weird, a weird that he simply couldn’t explain. He kept these feelings inside until Dae was able to break out of his closed off shell, at which point they’d be able to become even closer than they had before.

Starlight: Ezra pretty much instantly cared about and became friends with Hikari. Hikari was the first person in the group that Ezra spoke more than 1 sentence. As time went on and more of Minsung’s personality began to show, Ezra started to become a bit annoyed when Minsung would lie about being okay. This caused some conflict within their relationship and at this point they talked a bit less than usual, which fans would notice and point out. When fans noticed, Ezra decided to try and talk to Hikari and he began to understand why he says that, so he tried to comfort Minsung instead of getting upset. After they patch this up, they get back to normal and Hikari started to naturally help Ezra get more comfortable with physical affection by just randomly giving him hugs simply because he likes hugs. At first, Ezra was really cautious, but eventually he got more comfortable and began to give Hikari hugs instead of it being the other way around. Ezra really appreciated the fact that Hikari helped him with that even though it wasn’t intentional.

Forever Rain: Ezra didn’t have much of an opinion on Dakoda at first. He had a neutral opinion. However, as they began having to hang out more, he started to find Koda cute in a brotherly way and Ezra noticed that Dakoda reminds him of his sister which made him want to protect him. He made it a point to be nice to Dakoda because he noticed that he was a bit sensitive and didn’t want to hurt him. Ezra also began to admire how hard working Koda was but also began to worry about him, as a result, he would either practice with Koda to make sure that he can take him home just incase, or he would peek inside his practice room to check on him before he gets to the dorms and make sure he gets home.

Wild Child: Ezra strongly disliked Hongseok when they first met and for a while after that. He saw Hongseok as a stuck up immature kid who didn’t care much about others and if Hongseok even looked at Ezra the wrong way, he’d get extremely upset. After a while of being with each other, Ezra realized that he needed to work with Hongseok and that Hongseok wasn’t as selfish as he thought he was. Ezra stopped getting so angry at Hongseok and they both started to realize that they related to each other a bit and they began to understand each other a bit. This resulted in them not picking fights with each other and having a bit of a more light hearted relationship. However, Ezra still would never put up with Hongseok’s shit if he’s acting arrogant.

Fallen Angel: Ezra had a pretty neutral opinion on Duri at first, that is until he naturally began acting like the leader. When Duri began taking more responsibility in the group, Ezra started picking fights with him for pretty much no reason, he didn’t even really know why. Duri remained pretty calm during them though, which only made Ezra’s frustration even more unreasonable. Between picking fights with him, he would urge Duri to take care of himself and actually compliment him and tell him that he’s doing a good job. Eventually, after realizing that what he was doing was dumb, he stopped picking fights with Duri and their relationship got SO much better and they started opening up to each other a bit and bonding. They also both start hanging out with Dae all at the same time which eventually makes all three of them bond together. And at this point, Ezra is mad confused because he likes Duri and Ezra and didn’t know that it was possible to have feelings for two people.
