hyunjin removing make up :)

imagine coming home all hot and bothered thanks to your lover, now ex-lover and not realising how the living room lights were still on and your housemate being wide awake as he watched you go straight to your room with such an intense aura around you.

you were controlling your anger and the hot tears that were second away from spilling out from your eyes. you threw your bag in frustration and pace around the room wanting to do something to get rid of the repeating memories of messy break up that happened earlier but nothing came up in mind as it was a mess.

hyunjin silently watched you from the couch. he lowered the volume down and heard your frustrated sighs even clearer than when you had entered the unit. usually his goofy and annoying side would barge into your personal bubble and do whatever he likes as long as he know you're fine. but tonight, he didn't move and only watch as you fought with yourself whether to throw things and mess up your room or silently sob on the floor.

surprising him, you did the latter. as reflex, hyunjin carefully padded his way to you and crouched down. "hey..." only then you finally realised that there was someone else in the house and harshly wiped your tears. "sorry," you sniffled and looked to the side avoiding his face that was so close to yours. "i didn't mean to...just leave me alone."

"you rubbed your eyes pretty rough, it must have hurt with the makeup still on." you really wanted to be alone and wrapped yourself in the miserable blanket but his soft voice somehow calmed you down.

you felt his fingers on your shoulders and accidentally looked into his eyes. damn, why does he look so pretty? And I probably look like shit right now, was what you thought as of that moment but hyunjin can't read minds so he only smiled at you.

"let me help you remove them."

"remove what?"

"your makeup. you don't plan on sleeping like this right?"

his voice made your heart churn but in a good way. it's comforting yet sort of demanding and you just needed someone to hold you right now. he helped you stand up and walked you out to the kitchen counter, he instructed you to sit down as he went away into his room. thinking was something you didn't want to do so whatever he says you will listen like an obedient child.

hyunjin came back and started working on cleaning up your face. you were exhausted but somehow watching him being so focused helped you stay awake. he was gentle, every movement he made felt like he was painting. the cotton pad didn't feel as rough as how you usually used them.

when he told you to shut your eyes, you obliged but your hands find their way to pinch on his shirt. you didn't know why but it felt like the right thing to do. he chuckled when you did so and said, "you can open your eyes now. See, it's not dark anymore." you couldn't help but scoffed as a smile made its way on your face.

"we broke up"

you felt his body froze and looked at him. "it's not that we're incompatible, a third person exists." you chuckled dryly. "Ahh...to think that you picked the lipstick i wore today and it's all wasted thanks to that-" you touched your lips and noticed him looking at you intensely.

he removed everything on your face except the lipstick. the one he personally picked for you earlier that day for your date. your face warmed up when hyunjin cupped them in his large hands. your eyes fluttered as he leaned in closer, fingers lightly caressing your cheek.

"it won't be a waste," his thumb swiped over your lower lip ever so softly. "if I kiss you right now." you had no idea what was going on with your housemate slash best friend but pressing your lips on his luscious ones.

"then kiss me"

he wasted no time and closed the gaps between you, threading his long fingers through your hair pulling you closer and deepening the kiss. your body bent towards him as he continued to kiss you with more passion. finally breaking away from each other as you pant for air but hyunjin looked completely unfazed with his lips coloured in the same shade as yours. he smirked before licking his lips in a slow and seductive manner the moment he notice you openly staring at him, his messed up lips to be precised.

"i've been wanting to do that," he dragged your stool and had you toppled over straight into his arms. "date me instead." he said with a pout "see? you're already falling into my arms." he chuckled.

"hyunjin, are you drunk? cause if you are and you don't remember any of this tomorrow-"

"i'm completely sober, baby." he laughed at his own words. "don't you think it's time you fall for me instead?" you were completely taken aback by his words and pushed yourself to sit up properly.

"you're completely out of my league, hyunjin and don't joke around, you don't like me like that." you were about to hit his chest when he caught your wrist.

"i removed your makeup for you, comforted you and make you feel better with a kiss. Ah, I even waited till you got home. Do you need more proof cause I have plenty." He challenged.

Thought the day would finish with you sobbing uncontrollably, but things changed, and now your best friend is confessing his feelings for you. Everything felt surreal.

Your train of thoughts were interrupted when you felt his fingers caressing your cheeks again. You caught Hyunjin staring down at you, eyes taking in every inch of your face as he slightly bite down his lower lip while doing so.

"If you don't push me, I'll take it as a yes for me to kiss you again."

His words felt like a spell because no part of your body was moving at all except for your beating heart. A smirk made it's way on his lips when he felt your fingers curling on his shirt.

The moment you felt his warmth breathe and lips pressed on yours, that's when you know everything was real and everything was going to change once the night was over.

I have many questions 😌

hahaha 🤣

the banana one hahaha!

[shinescape]

boyfriends minghao and hongjoong with their current hair colour would be a menace to society. They are the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover and you simply love it. Both major in philosophy but have different beliefs and mindset. hongjoong’s like “I believe we can make this corrupted world a better place if we all work together-'' with his pretty smile and then there’s minghao who stares at you dead in the eye and goes “Everyone better get their shit together or we’re really going to vanish in 5 years time.” 

also, the same question you are getting is which one is your actual boyfriend every time one of them comes to pick you up during group discussions or when classes are over for the day and you just say “He is my boyfriend.” whichever that decides to show up, it’s usually minghao in that case. And the reason they dyed their hair like that was because one of the professors commented in class that if you want to be ‘extra’, go to the fashion department and these two secretly planned to annoy the heck out of that professor. You only found out about the new hair colours when you got home to them both revising for a test the same professor gave out of anger. Dinner went on about “how one’s appearance does not determine their values and beliefs” and you just sat there listening and nodding at their words. two pretty and smart guys talking about stuff you have no idea about mostly but you listen well.

all in all, they are nothing but sweethearts, not in public though or unless they saw a stray then the cool front is shattered. minghao would run to the nearest store and buy a cat food pouch or a canned one if he’s feeling extra generous that day. hongjoong would play with them to get their trust and you had nothing better to do than take some photos and smile proudly at your boyfriends.

Chosen for Heaven, Cursed for Love

Mingi x Fem Reader

tw: blood, injury, it is pretty angsty

note: finally an official oneshot for my cutie patootie song mingi! I have held this idea for so long and finally got to it! Also didn’t expect it to be this long considering how i kind of lost my rhythm in writing and do note this is a work of fiction. Enjoy the read!

“never talk to strangers.” 

“do not open the door to anyone.” 

You’ve been told this many times by your mother. Growing up she was always protective of you but in a slightly unnecessary way in your opinion. You know she meant well but you are practically an adult now and although she doesn’t remind you of the warnings anymore, her voice is clear as the first time you heard it when you were a child. It was more prominent the moment your eyes stared right at a figure dragging himself outside the road. 

The thunders were exceptionally active tonight and you were binge watching a series but something at the back of your mind told you to pause and head straight to the window. Following your instincts, carefully you stepped closer to the window, pushing the curtains just enough for you to see the situation outside. 

It was still raining but not as harsh as earlier when you were having dinner with both your mother and grandmother. Three women in a house together somehow made you feel the need to be extra protective like how your mother was to you. As the youngest in the household, naturally you were to obey the elders, especially your grandmother. 

However, the sight of a lone man with head hung low dragging himself in the pouring rain made you want to act on impulse. You could not make it clearly but it seems there’s a trail of liquid behind him. It made you extremely curious. Not thinking of the consequences, you were determined to find out what you saw was real or just a fragment of imagination. 

Looking back at their bedrooms to make sure none of the two was awake, you grabbed the keys and carefully unlocked the door and went out. Only then you realised that there was no need to be quiet because it was raining so heavily. The road was empty except for the man and without a second thought you ran towards him not expecting him to stop for you.

“Excuse me, are you lost?” Just then you realised that this would be a perfect scene in a horror movie and how dumb of you to not calculate your actions before deciding to casually talk with this stranger. 

You expected him to be frail but the closer you were now, he was tall and had quite a build. His eyes were shaped in a way that would pierce through your heart like daggers but it suddenly softened when he took in your features.

“...princess” he mumbled out but you couldn’t hear due to the storm and held his arm instead. “Your back is bleeding, did you get into an accident?” He said nothing and only had a very solemn expression across his wet face. 

You knew this was crazy but if this is how you die then so be it. “I don’t think the rain will stop any time soon. Do you mind coming with me?” Your mother will faint if she knew what you were doing right at the moment.

Again, he said nothing but slightly turned around letting you guide him. You passed a smile before letting go of his hand a walk ahead, actually feeling scared for your life. There is no turning back, I already invited him over. 

You tried to calm your heartbeat and steadied your breath as you stepped onto the porch. He quietly followed behind you when you opened the door. “Can you go up by yourself? My room is on the immediate right. I’ll be right there.” You didn’t wait for his answer and headed straight to the kitchen trying to find a rag to wipe the blood covered floor.  

“He’s bleeding a lot. I wonder what happened…” You made sure to take glances just in case any of the two ladies decided to get up and have a midnight snack and caught you suspiciously wiping the floor in the dark. You pat the floor and sniff your palm and surprisingly no stain or copperish smell was there.

Making your way upstairs and heading straight into your room, only to find him standing at a corner as if afraid he might break anything if he moved any further into your space. 

“Come over to the bed, I’ll clean up your wounds.” You were way too cheerful about this strange situation and remembering that he was a stranger and potentially might be dangerous for everyone in the house right now had you switched your personality to a less friendlier one. 

“I’m fine over here.” He noticed how your eyes widened when he spoke and averted his eyes away. Woah, he has a very deep voice. Snap out of it! It’s time to help. You grabbed a folding chair that happens to be in your room for some reason and called him over to sit which he was hesitant but listened to you anyways. 

You observed his appearance and pinch a bit of the fabric he was wearing. It looked and felt like silk but somewhat rougher as you rub on it. “Do you mind if I take this off, I need to see how badly your injury is.” You can tell he was unsure about everything that was going on but decided to trust you. As he crossed his arms to take the top off, you heard him winced as he immediately hunched to the front. 

“I guess the pain just got to you.” He remained in that position as you went to grab a pair of scissors and carefully cut it through the material on his back. Nothing could have prepared you for what you were seeing. There was a deep hole on each side of his back as if something was ripped off from his body. Taking off the cloth from his body you quickly pressed the wounds and hoped the bleeding would eventually stop. 

You didn’t know why but hearing him hissing and groaning in pain worried you. From time to time you apologised and told him to hang in there as you cleaned his wounds up and bandaged the upper part of his torso. “My mother is a nurse so I know a thing or two. Although I must say this is my first time actually doing this.” You dabbed a wet cloth over his face and could not help but be awestruck at his defined features. But why was he wandering in the streets in the middle of a thunderstorm heavily injured?

“Can I ask what’s your name?” you were prepared for him to lash out at you but he didn’t and answered you simply with “Mingi.” You unconsciously smiled to yourself as you repeated his name unaware of his flustered reaction to hearing your voice saying his name.

“What actually happened to you, Mingi?” You asked as you plopped down in front of him and started putting band aids on his feet to which he surprised you by grabbing hold of your wrist. “Y-you don’t have to go that far...” It seemed that he didn’t trust you enough to share anything other than his name. You take that as a cue to back away and give him space.

You watched as Mingi mustered up all the energy left to sit up straight. At the sight of his pained expression, you softened even more feeling helpless at your limited capabilities to help him feel better. “I have a bathroom over there, you can use it while I grab a change of pants for you to wear.” His face remained unchanged as he continued to stare at you. Before standing up to leave the room, you did not forget to pass him a smile. 

It was like mission impossible for you, going into the spare room and even sneaking into your mother’s room to find anything that belonged to your father or grandfather and actually managed to do so. Placing the pyjama pants in front of the bathroom, you informed Mingi about the garment and went about the sleeping arrangement for the night. 

You heard the door open and turned to speak only to flutter your eyes away at the sight of him. “You can have my bed, I’ll sleep right here.” You pointed at the space right next to the bed. He stepped closer with yet the same pained expression. You wonder if it’s from his injuries or something else that you have no knowledge of. 

“You don’t have to do all this”

“I want to. I don’t feel great if you sleep on the floor with such serious wounds.” You gave him no choice and quickly laid down on the layered futon you made. Mingi huffed at your actions and reluctantly went to occupy your bed. You heard him groan and peek through the blanket to watch him find a comfortable position to rest. He did not notice you sitting up and observing him toss and turning on the bed until you let out a sound. 

“I think the only way to sleep is on your front.” You patted your chest and gave him a lopsided smile. He sighed, taking your advice as he lay down on his front, head turning to the side. You too were back under the blanket and stared right at the ceiling. It was indeed a weird night for you. Initially everything seemed crazy and dangerous but those feelings seemed to die down as the night went by. 

“Would you believe me If I say I fell?” At his voice, you turn to your side and look at him genuinely interested. “You fell?” He nodded. “I fell…from the sky.” He scoffed at the obvious confusion written on your face. ���Are you being serious right now?” Again, Mingi nodded. 

“I know you won’t believe me. But that’s what happened.” His lips slightly curved upwards as if hoping for you to believe him despite knowing that would be impossible in that short amount of time.

“I believe you,” His eyes widened at your words. “But there has to be more to that, right?” You yawned right after and Mingi could only watch as you slowly drift off to sleep leaving him alone to his thoughts. 

The warmth and slight sweat woke you up from the fantasy-like dream. Looking around, you realised that you were no more on the floor and was laid down on the bed with the heavy comforter covering you like a baby. “I wasn’t dreaming…” slightly panicking in your half awake state, you stepped down and went straight to the direction of the voices that seemed too normal to be true. 

Your eyes met. There he was, the man that wasn’t part of your dreams but was clearly in your room last night, lying almost pathetically on your bed. Your eyes then glance to the women, your mother had this stiff aura around her while your grandmother ushered you to come closer. 

“I can explain” You nervously said, voice trembling as your palms came up in defence. “Sit down, dear. Mingi here told us everything.” Confused was an understatement at that moment. What does she mean by he told them everything? The only man at the dining table did not utter a word as he fiddled with the mug’s handle as if it was the most interesting item at that moment.  

“He told us…where it’s more like grandma here figured out what happened. And you better thank the Heavens that it was her who found out first and not me.” Your mother sighed with a disappointed look and you were sure that Mingi’s body reacted to the word Heavens. Everything was happening so fast, you had so many things to say and to ask but nothing was coming out of your mouth.

“I found this feather outside your bedroom door. Right after that, this young man opened the door and gave me a good surprise.” The old lady laughed as she stroked the single bird-like feather in her hands.

“Your mother and I changed his bandages since it was soaked with blood. You did well trying to help this unfortunate young man, dear.” Her words were sincere and felt like a compliment but the daggers from your mother said otherwise. As if telling you that bringing Mingi in your house was the last thing you should have done. 

There was a short silence hanging in the air before he suddenly spoke. “Can we talk? Just the two of us?” You turned to look at him and unconsciously nodded at his words. He stood up, excused himself and walked away. “Sweetie, whatever you do, please think of yourself first.” Getting slightly annoyed by your mother, you said nothing and went to find Mingi.

You saw him by the steps outside and went to sit next to him. “Hey” you murmured, enough for him to hear you. It felt awkward and kind of weird and you then realised that you were still in your pyjamas which was fine considering you were at home but there is this inhumane looking being right next to you that made you feel inferior all of a sudden.

“Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, totally! Sorry…I mean yes everything is fine.” Clearing your throat, you calmed down and continued, “You wanted to talk to me, right?” His eyes never left your face as if trying to remember every detail and sketch it in his mind on repeat. The way your head tilted made him feel something he never experienced before.

“This is going to sound really weird but I actually fell…” 

“Yeah you told me last night-”

“From heaven”

“Oh”   

There was a deafening silence as you hugged your legs closer to your chest when the wind suddenly rushed over. “So that feather earlier was yours?” He nodded, worry painted all over his face as he waited for you to gather your thoughts. “Hold on, that injury on your back… Mingi, are you an angel?” A hand clasped over your mouth as you watched him frowned further at your words. 

“I was one. But not anymore. A-are you scared of me?” You shook your head denying almost instantly. “No, of course not. It’s just…what happened?” You noticed he was a bit restless and carefully gathered his palms in yours, stroking his knuckles to assure him that you were indeed not scared of him.

“I desired for something I should not have even thought of in the first place. I wished to live as a human and that alone got me banished.” Your fingers curled tighter on his cold ones as you waited for him to continue on. “I was your guardian angel actually,” He chuckled dryly when your eyes widened at the revelation. 

“I knew everything about you. How sensitive you are to others emotions, how you argue a lot with your mother and your grandmother always siding with you. I know how your father…how he called you princess to stop you from crying. I knew then that I had to be there for you, not from up there but right next to you.” Mingi then pressed his forehead to yours, his hands now shifted to hold yours instead. 

“I was different from the rest. I had human emotions and I realised that I was in love with you. I wanted to be with you, princess.” His tears dropped right on your skin, each drop was warmer than the one before. Your lips parted wanting to utter something but as usual nothing came out. Everything happened so fast that there was no time to properly think and come up with something that will not sound half hearted. 

You most definitely did not want to hurt him further than what he had gone through. You can’t even imagine the pain he endured from being different like the rest yet you had nothing to say to him as of that moment. Mingi backed away when he felt you pulling your hands from his hold. His face wore the most heart wrenching expression you have ever seen on a person.  

You glanced back towards the door and windows, making sure there were no signs of the two nosy ladies before looking right back at Mingi. Shyly nodding your head, you waited for him to take the lead as you closed your eyes. Heat rushed to your face as embarrassment took over your whole being.  

“I would have given you a big warm hug but I don’t want to hurt you.” Your eyes wandered to the bandages wrapped neatly around his torso. All of this was new to you. A fallen guardian angel confessing his love to you a day after you saved him from near death. How would one even react to all of this?

“Then, can I kiss you?” His deep voice interrupted the sea of thoughts that would have given away how drifted you were from the reality of the situation.

“Princess”

“Y-yes Mingi?”

“I don’t exactly know how to kiss. Can you-”

Cupping his face, you leaned over to kiss him before another thought could invade both your anxious minds. You felt his strong arms wrapped themselves around you, pulling you impossibly close as you deepened the kiss. A loud rumbling from above had both of you parted with chest heaving heavily from lack of air. 

“I think the Heavens are angry with us.” You joked trying to lighten the mood when Mingi suddenly pulled you in for another hug, nuzzling his nose on your neck as he softly pressed his lips on your skin. 

“I don’t care if they are. I have you this close to me and that’s all that matters. I love you princess. My heaven on earth.”
