jungwon is for ,,,

heeseung • jay • jake • sunghoon • sunoo • jungwon!! • ni-ki

a/n. to my fellow won lovers, i hope this speaks to u<3 won is proud of u!!

jungwon is for those who over-decorate their belongings with stickers and keychains, because what is life without claiming what's yours.

jungwon is for those who love the stars and all that they represent.

jungwon is for those whose circumstances caused them to mature faster⏤even if they didn't want to. those who had to intellectualize others' actions as a means of self preservation.

jungwon is for those who have to seek comfort from external sources, especially so from the man himself (it will be okay, my love; you don't have to bear hurt this alone).

jungwon is for those who are often awake until the early AM hours, trying to make sense of why something made them feel the way it did to stop the ache in their chest.

jungwon is for those who collect various hobbies because being proficient at something tangible makes them worth recognizing (tell me about your latest one, how long will this one last?).

jungwon is for those whose favorite trope is found family, often assuming the role as the head of the family to facilitate a loving home⏤one they never got the chance to receive themselves.

jungwon is for those who have committed to loving others wholly because they don’t know how to love themselves just yet.

jungwon is for those who will be successful because they walk through life with so much talent and love to give.

xix. mint choco lover (0.88k written)

kim sunoo liked to think he was a nice person. always putting others before himself, always willing to help others when they needed it.

but one thing about nishimura riki when he asks for favours is, he never keeps the promises he makes when he asks for help.

"thank you, sunoo hyung! i'll buy you dinner after class today!" sunoo ate dinner that he cooked himself at home that day.

"thank you, hyung! i'll do all your chores next week!" riki forgot to mention he was going back home that week.

"sorry for ruining the cable you lent me, sunoo hyung. i'll buy you a new one, promise!" riki, in fact, did not buy sunoo a new cable.

so, half-heartedly, sunoo agrees to help riki run an errand today. a video game shop in hongdae was having a sale between 4 to 5pm. half price on any games in the store.

everyone else was busy, including riki, which was why he had begged sunoo the previous night, to help him today and get a few games he had been eyeing on the past few weeks.

"what do i get in return?"

"i'll clean your room for a week," sunoo rolls his eyes at this. "no, you won't. you've never once kept your word to me whenever i help you,"

"please, hyung. i'll do anything you want. just do this one thing for me, please," at this point, the younger was already gripping his forearms to show how desperate he was.

sunoo leans back against the couch, raising an eyebrow at this. "anything i want?" riki nods profusely, eyes twinkling at the slight bit of hope.

"please, hyung. promise i'll keep my word this time. please, hyung, this is a really good deal and you're the only one who can help me. please,"

sunoo thinks he can't take anymore of riki's pleas. he gives the taller boy a bored look. "you owe me. i was looking forward to doing absolutely nothing at home tomorrow. you better keep your word or else. i know where you keep your video games,"

"thank you, hyung!" he manhandles his older friend, forcing him into a side hug before he gets up to run back into his room.

sunoo had never been more grateful of how much of a pushover he was.

it didn't matter that he knew riki wasn't going to keep his word. it didn't matter that he was going to have to be petty and hold riki's games hostage to have his way.

and it didn't matter that he initially wanted to spend time resting at home today, but ended up having to go out practically against his will (he dressed up real nice, took pretty pictures and took his own sweet time walking the streets of hongdae before his stop at the video game store).

all of it didn't matter. because if riki hadn't ask him to go out today. he wouldn't be sitting in front you right now, laughing over your own cups of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

"wait did he actually say that in his sleep?" you spoke through laughs. not only did the cafe have fire mint chocolate chip ice cream, you also made a new friend there.

you remember the blonde boy from the first time riki brought all his friends over to odd atelier. sunoo, the one with the pretty eye smile.

and he's funny too. you haven't stopped laughing since he approached you and made conversation, talking about anything and everything. currently he was telling a story of the time he made riki watch a horror movie with him when it was only the two of them at home for the weekend. the younger ended up begging to sleep in sunoo's room that night, claiming he didn't want to be alone when a demon comes to hunt him down.

"he did!" his eyes close as he throws his head back laughing. you find yourself admiring the boy in front of you as you smile at his reaction. he was so cute and his vibrant personality was enough to distract you from all the thoughts that caused you to want to have "me time" in the first place.

"that's cute. riki acts all tough and macho but we all know how soft he really is," you smile at the thought of your younger friend.

"i can be cuter," the boy suddenly says causing you to look at him, flabbergasted. "sorry," he snickers at your reaction, apologises sheepishly. you giggle at this, standing up to return both your empty cups. "let's go,"

"go where?" the boy blinks, confused but still stands up anyway. "you said you were free all day today," you latch onto his free arm, locking it with yours as you skip out the store with a 'thank you!' to the workers.

"y/n, where are we going?" his heart skips a beat at the proximity between you two as you drag him along. he loves that you're already comfortable with him despite only talking for two hours.

you smile at him, only letting him know your plans when you stop in front of a store, familiar to sunoo as he was a frequent customer. the boy's jaw drops, laughing in disbelief.

"you're crazy."

SM is known to hold onto their artists during their scandals for as long as possible so for Taeil to be immediately kicked out of the group following the reports of him being involved in a horrible crime, the consequences must be very severe. while we don’t know the details of the crime, we could imagine they’re very extreme.

as a nctzen since 2016, I was disappointed and repulsed by the news of Taeil being involved in such crimes. I considered NCT my safe space and my form of escapism from reality for 8 years not knowing that one of the members was involved in crimes that harm women. never in my wildest dreams did I ever think an NCT member would be linked to a crime that harms their target demographic. it truly disgusts me thinking about how deeply involved he was in for him to be investigated by the police.

I hope fans who read this do not defend Taeil. he is a grown man who made the decision to be involved in a crime so horrific, I cannot and will never understand the people who would go out of their way to defend him. he needs to face the consequences for his crimes. victims of sx crimes have to live with the pain and trauma for the rest of their lives while perpetrators continue harming others. defending him just tells me you condone such behaviour, normalising the harm and ab*se of women. that needed to stop a long time ago and it needs to stop now.

men who involve themselves in sx crimes are one of the reasons why the world is a dangerous place for women. men like this are the reason we are afraid of men. men like this should not be able to walk freely and continue the cycle of harming others. men time and time again have proven that they’re trash.

please believe the victims. I hope they get all the justice they deserve and I hope they know we are here to support them.

xviii. different (0.58k written)

"bubs, you there?" jay's voice cuts through the silence of your room as you quietly read heeseung's texts. "yeah, yeah, sorry he was texting a lot. he said he didn't expect me to be the barista his friends were talking about,"

"his friends?" he questions. "oh yeah, riki, the first one of the two who befriended me spilt that all they ever talk about in their groupchat is me," you laugh at the thought, slightly uncomfortable but flattered nevertheless. "he says it's a simp groupchat or some sort but he's just joking i think,"

"of course you would have strangers raving about you in their groupchats," jay rolls his eyes playfully, shifting to lie on his side instead, propping his phone up against a pillow. your brows furrow and he figures you were furiously typing a response with the continuous taps he heard from your end.

"can you believe the audacity this dude has?" you scoff in disbelief, shaking your head as you continue typing. "why? what'd he say?"

"said it was fate that we meet again and that he's been given a second chance. like, hello? i want nothing at all to do with you," you roll your eyes at the absurdness coming out of lee heeseung.

"did he actually say that lollllll," you want to laugh when jay emphasises the 'lol' in his verbal response to this nonsense. "he gotta be a different type of delusional if he thinks you'd even give him a chance. not on my watch. not when you're already in a good place in your life,"

you smile at this. if you were to name one person in your life who would know anything and everything about you, it's definitely jay. you didn't even say what you were thinking but he already knew. even your brother couldn't read you as well as jay does.

"yeah, exactly. so i told him not to contact me anymore," you shrug your shoulders, exiting out the messages app so you can fully focus on the call with your best friend.

"that's my girl," he catches you off guard with this response and you quickly angle the camera so you were out of frame. your cheeks burned at this remark.

jay has called you many different pet names before and your friendship with him, if looked from an outsider's point of view, could even pass off as romantic with how close and affectionate you two were. so how was this any different from all the other times he'd spoken to you like this? why now were you feeling giddy like a teenager talking to her crush for the first time?

"bubs?"

you must've been in your thoughts for too long that jay had to once again, snap you out of it.

"jjongie, i think i'm gonna go to sleep now. chae unnie's gonna have my head if i'm late again for opening shift. i'll see you tomorrow?" you yawn once to seal the partial lie and jay seems to buy it.

"don't think too much about what he said to you, okay? let me know if he bothers you again. i'm gonna game for a bit before i sleep. good night, bubs, i love you,"

"i love you too." you reply quietly before ending the call, letting out a breath you didn't realise you were holding. suddenly the weight of the sentence feels heavy to you, despite having said that to him almost everyday for the past 12 years. why does it feel different now?

xvii. heeseung's master plan (1.3k written)

saturday came by faster than heeseung would've liked. he didn't know how he pulled it off but he was beginning to think he shouldn't have. here he was in odd atelier, sitting among the audience as everyone watched his first love and her "guard dog" best friend sing a duet.

he looked around, watching the love struck expressions on his friends' faces. he couldn't believe what it has come to. all of his friends and himself, fighting for the only girl he has ever cared about in his life.

the song ended and heeseung thinks that even without his friends' boisterous applause, you would've still gotten huge cheers for your performance. you've always gotten attention wherever you went. maybe that was the one regret he had with falling for you. maybe if you hadn't been so lovable to everyone, he could've had you all to himself.

he snapped out of his selfish thoughts when an older woman walks onto the small stage.

"give it up to our acoustic duo of the week, y/n and donghyuck!" jisoo speaks enthusiastically into the mic. the two walks off, bowing in gratitude at the people cheering for them as they go to behind the bar for some water. singing for an hour straight really made their throats dry.

"now today's gonna be a little different, we have a special guest here singing for us tonight. i know all of you are only ever here for y/n," she jokes, causing the room to burst into small laughter. "but this one'll be a short one so if you have some time to spare, feel free to stay and listen!"

you and donghyuck share a questioning look to each other as you tied your aprons back on, both of you not knowing about this part of the night. the other closer, jay, who was making drinks, too was confused. acoustic nights had always been 8pm-9pm and was always the only event of the night. what did their manager jisoo have in plan?

someone from one of the tables stood up, making their way to the small stage. your eyes widen and you almost spit out the water in your mouth when they turned to you. donghyuck was no better when he actually did spit out his water, you jolt at the sudden cold on your neck, turning to smack him on the back of his head. he apologises, grabbing napkins to wipe your neck and shirt as you both watch the boy you once called your lover.

he sits on the seat you were previously sat on; behind the keyboard, and when he looks up right at you, you feel the world stop and your heart beating faster. the look he had on was a determined one, as he slowly plays a tune that was familiar to you.

"same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now~"

he begins and you feel a tug in your heart. you've missed his singing voice. when you were dating, duets were a norm with you two and when those sleepless nights came to you, he would always sing you to sleep through the phone, only stopping when he could hear your soft snores on the other end. you turn to the older woman stood not too far from him, finding her looking right at you with a soft smile.

"what's going on?" you mouth, trying to push out his angelic singing voice out. you assumed all of them knew who heeseung was to you and you felt a little betrayed jisoo had done this. she replies with a short, "just listen," and you frown, turning away from her.

"too young to dumb to realise, that i should bought you flowers~"

at this point, jay had finished doing whatever orders he had and was standing next to you as everyone in the cafe watched heeseung perform. he had an arm around you, whispering a small "you okay?" in your ear, rubbing your upper arm in comfort as you only looked at him defeated, eyes watering. you couldn't help but feel like the song was dedicated to you.

you tried so hard to push away all the memories of him since he reappeared in your life and to have him come barging in once again, at your place of comfort, felt like you were being cornered. you loved him, truly you did love him a lot. but how could you forget all the hurt and pain he's caused you?

"oh, i know i'm probably much too late to try and apologise for my mistakes~"

"jongseong i—i'm gonna go, i can't do this right now," you quickly untie your apron, walking out the bar and straight to the exit, ignoring the worried look donghyuck sent from where he was taking orders at the moment. jay looked at jisoo, shaking his head in disappointment at the older woman. he respected her a lot but he couldn't believe this happened.

he takes a glance around the cafe, figuring jisoo and donghyuck could handle by themselves as the crowd seemed to be dying down. he shares a look with the older boy, the older telling him to hurry and find you. jay didn't care if jisoo scolds him later for leaving mid-shift, all that mattered to him right now was you.

sitting outside a random convenience store near your old college, you hear the chair scrape beside you. a familiar, comforting scent invaded your space. you sigh, looking down at your cup of mint chocolate ice cream.

"how ya feeling, bub?" jay scoots closer, lowering his head to look at your face. "how'd you find me, jjongie?"

"am i really your best friend if i don't know where you go when you're running away from all your problems?" he states matter-of-factly and you lift your head up to finally look at him. his cocky expression turns soft once he sees your face.

"come 'ere," he forcefully pulls you into him, not saying anything when he felt the collar of his shirt get wetter. you bury your face in his neck as he soothingly strokes your hair.

"why would he come back, jjongie?" you sob out, completely breaking apart in his arms. jay doesn't say anything, opting to just rub your back and let you cry all you want. he hasn't seen you in this state since your last boyfriend broke up with you. even then it wasn't this bad.

he gritted his teeth at the thought of lee heeseung. not only did the boy leave you at your happiest moment, it took you so long to build back trust towards those who truly loved and cared for you. and now that you were happy and content with life, he comes back ruining everything for you.

lee heeseung was lucky jay had to run off to find you. he was sure if he even got to interact with him one minute, the older wouldn't dare show up anywhere near odd atelier.

"shh, don't think about it, bubs. i'll make sure he doesn't come back, okay? now finish your toothpaste ice cream, i know you hate ice cream soup," you pout as he lifts your chin up to wipe the stray tears that fell. "i'm kidding," he grins, finding you adorable.

"you left work to find me?" you question the boy, stirring the melted ice cream around with the little spoon before finally putting it away on the table. "'course i did," he crosses one leg over the other and leans back, resting one arm on the back of your chair. "how will they manage? it's a saturday night,"

"they'll be fine. hyuck told me to find you, he's gonna bring our stuff over after shift so we can stay here for as long as you need until you're ready to go, okay?" you feel your heart warm at this. you were so lucky to be surrounded by people who care about you as much as your friends do.

you lean closer to the boy, resting your head on his shoulders. "thank you, jongseong."

jay has heard you call him that his whole life so why now, did his heart flutter? you two have had sleepovers and have slept in the same bed a million times before so why now, does he feel flustered at the proximity?

"anything for you, bubs."

xv. calm (1.2k written)

note: italicised speeches are spoken in english! cw: kys jokes

you shake your head at the text sunghoon just sent. always so chaotic hoon. you two were done with dinner and you had been waiting outside the restaurant as the boy needed the bathroom. you remembered seeing a record store on your way up and you still had some time to kill before the movie, so you decided to go take a look.

upon entering the shop, the clerk greets you cheerfully as you nodded politely at her. you slowly walk through the aisles, looking carefully for what you were looking for.

recently, your brother had gotten a vintage record player for fun when he didn't have any vinyl records so you decided to go get some today since you were already here.

"oh my god!" you exclaimed to yourself. realising how loud that probably was, you looked around the store, relieved to see it was practically empty except for the clerk who giggled at you. "they have them here!" you excitedly brisk-walk to corner of the store where a vinyl record had caught your eye.

a 5 seconds of summer vinyl record.

it was of one of your favourite album of them so you were quick to recognise it. you picked it up, eyes widening as you realised the whole section was filled with other 5sos vinyl records.

is this heaven? you thought to yourself.

after a while, you laid down two of your favourites; calm and youngblood, staring at them in a daze as you tried to decide which one to get. you would've taken all the 5sos records the store had, if only you weren't a fresh graduate who was only working part-time. why do vinyl records sell at such high prices anyway.

"you should take calm," a voice suggested and naturally you answered back. "right? but youngblood's so good too,"

it took you a few seconds to realise you had gone to the mall with sunghoon and not jay, so you shouldn't be having an english conversation with your friend right now.

you turned to the voice almost immediately, bowing slightly. "oh my god, i'm so sorry. i thought i was talking to my friend," you apologised, looking up at the owner of the voice. your head tilted in recognition upon seeing his face.

"oh? you're one of riki's friends right? jay?" also often referred to in your head as the cute vanilla latte boy. you also remembered his name being similar to that of your best friend's. "jake," he corrects you and you nod sheepishly. "ah right, jake, sorry."

"it's fine, you speak english?" he questions curiously. you were caught off guard at the seamless switch between korean and english, forgetting that he was the one who had suggested which record you should get. "oh yeah, i spent a few years in the states. you? you're korean?" you question back.

"yeah my family moved to australia when i was young but we moved back here after middle school," so he's australian. that explains the charming accent. "ahh, that's around the same time i did too. so, you listen to 5sos?"

"i do, yeah!" the boy answers excitedly and you chuckle at this. he resembled an excited puppy. "what's your favourite song?" you ask, looking back down at the two records in your hands, still deciding.

"easy, old me," he answers without skipping a beat. "oh that's a good one! it's one of my favourites too,“ you agree wholeheartedly with jake. "one of? so what's your favourite one then?"

"i have so many though.." you trail off thoughtfully, a little pout forming on your lips subconsciously.

"but if i had to pick one...maybe kill my time?" you tilt your head a little, unsure whether or not it really is your favourite song from them.

jake simply chuckles. you were just so adorable that he had to hold himself back from reacting in a way that would make you think he's weird.

"oh yeah, yeah, that's a good one too. you should get calm then, kill my time would sound so good through a record player," he suggests. "i know! but ghost of you would sound so good too," you tell him, still unable to decide which to get despite the boy giving his opinion.

"well in that case, why not just get both then?"

you purse your lips, giving him an expressionless stare. "i would if i could afford both, bro. wouldn't be standing here for the past five minutes trynna decide between either," you tell him honestly.

jake might be overreacting but he thinks he can hear his heart smashing into tiny pieces when you called him bro. he didn't know whether to feel honoured that you were comfortable enough to refer to him as so or be heartbroken that he just got bro-zoned.

"oh, yeah, didn't think of that. well, if yo—" he didn't manage to complete whatever he wanted to say when he got interrupted by an excited voice.

"noona!" the two of you turned to the source of the voice, you bracing yourself when you got tackled into a side hug by a much taller boy. "oh, riki! what are you doing here?"

"i'm here with jake hyung!" he points to the boy next to you. "we're gonna go see kung fu panda at 6," he explains, looking at his watch which prompts you to look at your own. it's 10 minutes to 6 and sunghoon still hasn't come up yet.

"hey, i'm watching that with my friend too! we should go up together!" you told the younger boy. and as if on cue, the door opens and said friend enters the store, you waving him over.

"hoonie! i don't think you've met riki. sunghoon, this is riki and jake," you point at your younger friend and his friend—who's also your new friend, considering how easy it was to have a conversation with him. "riki, jake, this is sunghoon,"

the three boys greet each other in a friendly manner before sunghoon turns to you. "ready to go?"

"oh, yeah i just...i'm gonna go pay for this first," you took one last look at the youngblood vinyl record in your left hand, putting it back where it was. you clutched the other vinyl to your chest, glancing over at the australian, smiling softly at him as you walked past the group and to the cashier.

jake bites his lip to prevent a smile from growing. you took his suggestion.

even though you bro-zoned him earlier, being at the receiving end of that cute smile from you could wipe away any disappointment he even felt in the first place. you just had that effect on him.

this was his first time interacting with you for as long as he did and seeing you up close. you were just so pretty he couldn't believe he even managed to talk to you without tripping over his words. conversation with you just flowed naturally despite how short it actually was.

he wonders what it would be to sit down and have a long talk with you. he wonders what it would be like to be in your circle of friends.

and as he absentmindedly nods to everything riki is yapping about to him, he watches your friend talk to you with the most loving gaze in his eyes. he wonders if that's what he would look like when he's finally in your life. maybe one day. maybe soon.

"hey, i didn't manage to ask you why you left early on wednesday," sunghoon questions you as he wipes down the counter.

you, him and jennie had just finished the lunch crowd at the cafe that friday and you were finally able to breathe. this is why you hate working opening shifts on friday; the crowds just come in all at once, not even letting you warm up just as you clock in.

"wait, how'd you know?" you question back, smiling at a customer leaving the shop, wishing them a good day and to come back. "i have my ways," he wiggles his eyebrows repeatedly at you as a devious smile grew on his lips.

you cross your arms, giving him a pointed look as you tapped your foot impatiently. that seemed to do the trick and he laughs, ruffling your hair despite it being tied up. "i'm kidding, y/nie. i dropped by for a while that night but jay said you left early,"

you give him a dismissive wave of a hand when he raises an eyebrow at you, as if asking for an explanation. "ahh, it was nothing. was feeling a little down so chaeyoung unnie let me go off early and she took me out,"

"like, on a fun day out?" he jokingly asks and you smack him on the shoulder. "i'm kidding, obviously. saw you went on a date with jay too," he proceeds to nudge your shoulders, wiggling his eyebrows at you teasingly while you only roll your eyes. never a dull shift with sunghoon.

"it was NOT a date," you clarified as you topped up the plastic cups while he looked for something to do to keep his hands busy. "jongseong just wanted to cheer me up, so he brought me out too,"

he frowns at this. "what's with them all trying to cheer you up? what happened? i mean, only if you're okay with telling me,"

you pause, contemplating whether this was something significant enough about you to tell him. then again, donghyuck already knew about it too so there wasn't any reason to not tell sunghoon. after all, you were closer with sunghoon than you were with the older boy. so you told him everything.

"you know what? i'm taking you out after work to cheer you up," sunghoon announces after several empty threats of how it's "on sight" if he ever sees heeseung.

"you really don't have to, hoon. all of you didn't have to, i'm really fine, i just didn't expect to see him again after so long," you told him honestly.

well, half-honestly.

it still bothered you that you and heeseung's relationship ended abruptly without your input. but you're happy with how your life is right now so it doesn't really matter anymore.

"so you don't want to go out with me after work?" sunghoon pouts, pretending to sulk. "it's jay, isn't it? that's why you don't love me anymore?" he jokes, clutching his chest as he pretends to dramatically cry.

jennie chose the wrong moment to come out of the pantry as sunghoon's gaze landed on her. "noona! save me from this heartbreak! y/n doesn't love me anymore!"

"she never did in the first place, hoon-ah. now stop fooling around and help me wipe the lightbulbs above the pantry, you're the only one who can reach it," jennie passes him a cleaning cloth and sanitising spray, opting to stay in the bar with you while she makes sunghoon do some cleaning in the back.

you giggle at his antics. never a dull shift with sunghoon.

you remember the first time you met the boy four months ago.

he had been a regular before he applied to work at odd atelier. the pretty iced vanilla latte boy. it's funny how you remember customers by their regular orders rather than the names they'd give you. you couldn't remember names to save your life.

sunghoon would get his daily iced vanilla latte in the morning to-go but gradually he started dining in more often. after a month, he decided to apply to work there and got accepted.

you were tasked to teach him all he had to know as a part-timer when he first joined the team. he seemed cold and standoffish at first but really, he was just a shy guy.

when you got closer to him, he started showing you his chaotic side which you grew to love. you didn't think such a cold-looking guy would be as goofy as he was. it's funny how every guy you befriend turns out to be some kind of chaotic but you love it. you needed that kind of energy in your mundane life.

you didn't know when it began, but as sunghoon grew more comfortable around you, he started getting more flirty.

you can't tell if it's really a joke or not because the way donghyuck does it really does feel like it is but with sunghoon, it doesn't feel so.

if he were being real, you honestly wouldn't mind it at all. he was a good mix of goofy and serious. he knew when to be playful and when to be understanding of a situation. he's pretty good company, too.

"yah! earth to y/n! why are you zoning out?" you feel a smack on the back of your shoulder, causing you to snap out of your daydreaming. "ah, unnie!" you whined, rubbing the spot jennie hit.

"you were zoned out," she states, shrugging her shoulders. "okay but did you have to hit me?" you counter, still rubbing the stinging spot on your shoulder as you pout at the older woman.

she simply laughs and ruffles your hair playfully. everyone who works here have developed this habit towards you it seems. you didn't mind it though, it's only at work anyway.

"i was telling you to bring out some pastries from the back for the pastry case but you weren't listening. what are you thinking about?" she asks curiously, wiping the glass display case while you make your way to the back to grab some cakes and pastries to top up.

you come back out with your hands full of boxes, jennie offering to grab some to lessen the load. "do you ever wonder why hoonie is single?" you ask her, glancing through the small window on the pantry door to see the mentioned boy working hard cleaning.

glancing over at the older woman because she wasn't replying, you were met with her teasing grin and wiggling eyebrows. "why do you ask, dear y/nie?" you gave her an unamused stare back, crossing your arms. you sigh, knowing you won't be able to close the conversation if she doesn't get the answer she wants.

"just," you look over to the pantry door again, this time making eye contact with the boy who winks at you, laughing when you roll your eyes at him.

"he's very good looking, right? and he's fun to be around, he's very caring and always knows how to cheer people up. plus, have you seen the amount of girls that have come up to him here and asked for his socials? he could've accepted anyone, literally anyone but he, own his own accord, chose to be bitchless. all of the girls i've seen him reject are gorgeous gorgeous girls too,"

jennie simply laughs at your little rant, closing the pastry case after she was done. "aren't you the same? like, you're literally the reason our cafe went viral after someone posted a video of you on one of the acoustic nights," the older mentions matter-of-factly. "how many people have visited just to see you since then? how many guys have asked for your number?"

"but that's different! i don't want any of them," you huff, crossing your arms as you pout at the older. jennie snickers at your response, pinching your cheeks as she coos at you sulking. "there's your answer then,"

"what?"

"you wondered why hoon is single despite being very desirable? same reason you are, y/nie. you don't want any of those guys lined up for you and neither does he with those girls," she explains. "he's probably waiting for the girl he wants. no offence, he doesn't look like the type of guy who would make the first move,"

"that's mean," you tell her, despite giggling at the remark. "but i wonder who it is he's waiting for..." you trail off, imagining what your friend would be like if he had a girlfriend.

would he stop those flirty jokes with you? would he still be willing to cheer you up on days when your energy felt off to him? would you have to cut off your friendship out of respect for his relationship? you wonder.

jennie watches in amusement at your serious thinking face. she finds it so precious how oblivious you could be. she wonders why you're thinking of all this right now.

as sunghoon comes out of the pantry to join you two back in front, she watches endearingly at the way you two interact. she doesn't know how everything will play out but one thing she knows is; she's rooting for sunghoon.
