The week following your first encounter with Mark was a tumultuous one. The initial shock and discomfort you felt at his presence had not diminished; instead, it festered like an open wound. Every day brought new challenges and moments that tested your patience.

At the heart of your frustration was the realization that Mark was not like the other fae students. He was, after all, a human, and his actions and reactions were a constant source of bewilderment. While the fae moved gracefully and spoke in riddles, Mark stumbled and bumbled his way through every task and conversation.

You found yourself assigned the unenviable role of Mark's guide, a responsibility you had begrudgingly accepted. Each morning, you met him at the appointed spot, where Chaeyoung eagerly awaited his arrival. She seemed determined to be his friend, a sentiment that both baffled and annoyed you.

Mark's attire remained a sore point for you. While the fae wore exquisite, ethereal garments that shimmered with magic, Mark stubbornly clung to his mundane human clothes. He claimed they were more comfortable, but to your eyes, they were a glaring reminder of his otherness.

One particularly sunny morning, you decided to address the issue. "Mark," you began, your voice tinged with irritation, "you really should consider wearing fae attire. It's not only a matter of tradition but also a matter of safety. The magic in our clothing protects us from certain dangers in this realm."

Mark blinked at you, his expression one of genuine confusion. "Oh, I didn't know. I thought these clothes were just fine. But if it's a safety thing, I guess I should give it a try."

You nodded, somewhat mollified by his willingness to comply. But your exasperation returned in full force when he attempted to change into fae attire right then and there, in the middle of the courtyard. Fae clothing was not donned so casually, and you hurriedly averted your eyes, scolding him for his lack of decorum.

As the days passed, you tried to teach Mark the intricacies of fae culture and etiquette. You introduced him to the delicate art of flower language, explaining that the fae often used blooms to convey unspoken sentiments. Mark, however, struggled to remember even the most basic meanings. His attempts at using flowers for communication were met with unintended hilarity rather than the intended grace.

One evening, you attended a gathering in the faerie court, where all the students mingled and danced under the silver moonlight. It was a tradition that dated back centuries, and the elegance of the event was a stark contrast to Mark's clumsy movements.

As you watched him fumble through a dance with Chaeyoung, your frustration reached its peak. You excused yourself and retreated to the garden, seeking solace among the moonflowers. Their pale, otherworldly beauty had always comforted you, but tonight, even they couldn't soothe your troubled thoughts.

Mark found you there, out of breath and flushed from his dance. He seemed genuinely concerned. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice tinged with worry.

You turned away, not wanting him to see your vulnerability. "I'm fine. Just needed some fresh air."

But Mark didn't give up so easily. He sat beside you, his presence oddly comforting despite your earlier irritation. "I know I'm not like the others here," he began, "but I'm trying my best to fit in. I don't want to cause trouble."

His words struck a chord within you, and you finally turned to look at him. His earnest expression revealed the sincerity of his intentions. For the first time, you saw Mark not as a burden but as someone genuinely striving to belong.

Maybe, you thought, it was time to let go of your resentment and give him a chance. After all, Mark was a newcomer in a world that was as strange to him as he was to it. And perhaps, in time, he would prove to be more than just a source of frustration.

synopsis: it’s been years since mark joined your realm, and for the mot part, you’ve not been his biggest fan. your mother – the queen of rivermond – has orchestrated your life up until now, wanting to be in control of anything and everything. little does she know that she’s far from in control and she might just drive you to defecting to somewhere less… magical. with the fae playing cruel tricks on mark one minute and acting like his friend the next you start to lose your patience and begin slipping up with your secret plans. not to mention you’ve been successful for years without being noticed but more recently things have been going wrong and you can sense someone spying on you. do you ask for help or work through it all? the lies and deception included?

tl;dr: a story of deception and little truth

genre: magic, faerie!au, mark is mortal

warnings: swearing, unrequited love, themes of bullying bc fae are cruel creatures, mutual frustration, mutual pining, deception (bc fae are good at that since they can’t lie), a little bit of fondling, a couple of steamy kisses, loving gazing, violent adn threatening behaviour (not often but will indicate at beginning of part if it contains said content)

01solarsmiles’ kitchen nightmares: [day off] quite a few

a/n: quarantine, am i right?

warnings: none, i think!

edit: i’ve had this in my drafts for godknows how long and realised it was basically complete and i’m slowly convincing myself to get back into old things that made me happy. so. here this is.

taglist; @stayinzencity​ @floraljae​ @thoreeo @alterlovess​<3

After the Dreamies party -- one of the better ones you’ve attended over the past few months -- you had an impromptu ping from your phone, telling you that you may have come into contact with someone who had Corona. Not the beer, although you wish it was a practical joke not too dissimilar to the fleeting thought, but you wish it had been. Now, you lay, in a starfish position, on your bed, staring up at your ceiling.

Wouldn’t it look so much better with glow in the dark stars stuck up there? Maybe you could manipulate them to look like constellations so your bedroom didn’t look like you’d let your five-year-old cousin decorate it. 

Your head falls to the side, choosing to watch your phone light up with notifications that really don’t interest you. It’s possibly the work group chat to be getting this much action in the middle of the day but you’re not convinced that you’re mentally up for facing it right now.

In theory, you could take a test, proving yourself to not be carrying the virus but a small part of you wouldn’t mind the break from work… and the money from the government for isolating. But you know that you rely too much on the interactions from the people of the outside world, thrive off of the anger that comes with dealing with particularly rude customers and the feisty side of you that avenges your colleagues. Yes, you could do the test but at what cost?

“Okay,” you whisper to your flashing phone, “I’ll bite.”

Scrolling for a second, your eyes widen, “What the fuck, Taeyong was there?”

taeyong (manager) what the frICK guYS???

taeyong (manager) i have to isolate bc of you imbeciles!!

chenle soz bossman didn’t know you were coming

jisung yeah :( would’ve told miss rona to stay out if we did

taeyong (manager) i can’t believe you guys seriously

chef mark miss who?

chef mark wait guys did i miss something

chef mark gUYs!

lucas ngl that was some party,, and here i thought i was the party animal. take it back, you weirdos are the dream team fr

joy not one to burst the bubble but you must realise that at least ONE of us must be payed a visit by miss rona if we’re all isolating

chef mark again w the woman! who is she, please don’t ignore <3

You turn away from your phone, thinking better of replying in the state that your head is in. You’re not OKAY okay you’re just okay. Life could be better but so could Mark’s detective skills.

Deciding against a possibly snarky response, you lay your phone down and pad into the kitchen, deciding that making some home comfort mac and cheese never killed anyone. You live alone and therefore no one will be around to judge you when you eat the whole thing.

Halfway through mixing together the milk with the odd dough in the pan, your phone starts ringing from your bedroom, where you’d conveniently left it to avoid anymore stupid text messages.

Sighing, you pull the pan off of the stove, put it down (away from the flame) and walk to fetch your phone. You barely spare a glance before answering the phone.

“Hello?”

“Hi! Yn, it’s Jaehyun,” you inwardly curse yourself for not checking the caller id when you picked up.

“Jaehyun,” you force the smile onto your face, knowing that it too often makes you sound happier than it really should, “what can I do for you?”

His breath hitches the other side, you’re not sure if he can hear the fake smile in your voice, like he used to claim he could, but he continues anyway, ignoring it if he does notice, “Jungwoo kinda kicked me out…”

Shit, you think, he’d been completely serious when he had told you that was what he planned on doing at the party last night. You had drunkenly explained your and Jaehyun’s arrangement but how he had been infringing on your time with Mark as you tried to stop that arrangement.

He continues, “And I was hoping you’d be kind enough to let me crash on your couch… or something?”

He knows he’s asking for a massive, out of pocket, favour and it shows. Nibbling on your lip, the angel and the devil on your respective shoulders begin to fight.

You know you can’t leave him without a bed for at least one night, he needs to be able to gather himself together before making any decisions.

“Or something…” you mutter out, “I was just making mac and cheese. If you’re quick enough I might still have enough for you.”

He breathes out a sigh of relief, knowing he’s safe for now from you and your wrath.

“You’re an angel.”

“You keep saying,” you refer to many nights, between the sheets -- while he’s between other things.

01solarsmiles’ kitchen nightmares: [day off] two

a/n: a little more than a commercial break but still a breather for me.

warnings: a mention of jaehyun’s stroke game.

taglist; @stayinzencity​ @floraljae​ @thoreeo <3

You’d thought you were finally getting somewhere with your lovelife. But Jaehyun had said something to you the week before, sticking with you in your head that made you think otherwise.

Never did you think that you would be in this situation, deciding between a man who obviously flirted with everyone in the workplace (so who’s to say he doesn’t outside of it?) and the possibility of a sweet, caring romance from Mark, who subsided in the kitchen. Too soft for his own good, you thought about everything you could have.

Everything leaned in Mark’s favour, but you’d barely had the chance to chat to him this week, mostly talking to the front of house bunch as you’d been told to supervise for the majority of your time on site this week. You were secretly hoping that Taeyong would advise you to stick on the pass with him but the Neo restaurant had been oddly over-staffed this week, with next to no one asking for days off. It was strange, thinking about Mark in this way when he’d shown no true interest apart from a handful of comments that could be seen as suggestive if you were to read into them more -- compared to Jaehyun’s forward remarks and coming on to everything that breathed in his general direction.

Naturally, you loved everyone you worked with, always bringing some kind of drama and always keeping you entertained at all hours of the day. Sure, Jaehyun had a spectacular stroke game but was he boyfriend material? Slowly and surely, over time, you’ve found yourself leaning away from Jaehyun, opting to make plans after work to avoid the awkward hours between midnight and two when you miss the warmth of his skin against yours to avoid feeling the overwhelming urge to call him up.

Nowadays, you invite the girls over for movie nights, popcorn parades, ritual game nights -- anything. It was a good way of distracting yourself. Although, on a handful of occasions, you found yourselves drinking wine and having a good time. The problem wasn’t the drinking, the problem is sometimes you get too flirty yourself and are willing to try practically anything. Thank God that you hadn’t kissed one of the girls from work; that would’ve been an awkward one to explain should anyone have remembered the night distinctly enough.

Honestly, you weren’t sure if you’d kissed the pizza delivery guy or the cat at this point, but all of the girls had no recollection of anyone coming over and making out with you.

Ten had briefly come over but after he saw Jaehyun and shared fierce glances, they had both left. As far as you could remember. Of course, the chance that someone else entirely had come over after that was there but you brushed it off and returned to your phone.

Biting your lip, you let your thoughts hack at the inside of your head before you tell yourself to stop being a wuss.

you hey, markiepoo! wanna go watch that movie you were talking about after shift ended yesterday?

mark omg the one with the cartoons alongside real people!! you’re up for seeing that? 

you yeah of course,, it sounded soo good when you were describing this one scene from the trailer

mark okay okay i’m booking the tickets right now don’t change your mind; i’ll cry

you hehe don’t worry darlin’ you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Glancing over at your nightstand, your digital clock shines 22:32 back at you. It had been pretty quiet at work today, which you had been thankful for, meaning a decent night’s sleep and proper rest for your day off tomorrow.

you let’s go out for a bite to eat beforehand? i know a place near a watermelon stand. my treat

mark um! marry me?

you ah… one day maybe ;) for now!! let’s feast (and enjoy the movie)

mark yupyup

You’ll have a shower in the morning, you decide. Away from winging newbies and a crying Haechan that makes you oddly uncomfortable and all the flirtatious barmen.

01solarsmiles’ kitchen nightmares: [day off]

a/n: it’s like a commercial break. easy on the eyes and quick for me to bullsh*t my way through.

warnings: suggestive at the end. 

w/c: <0.7k

tag list; @stayinzencity @floraljae @thoreeo <3

You finally get home, after a long shift at work and a an even more tiring week of work, and throw yourself onto your sofa, throwing caution to the wind as you somehow fling your bra across the room without hooking your fingers properly at the clasp.

Face first in a pile of pillows, you breathe out a groan, praying not to have to deal with customers for the next 42 hours.

Your feet are barely alive, throbbing from walking around all day. Briefly, you think about staying here in this position but decide against it when you remember you have things to be doing -- like sleeping for the next twelve hours before anyone would be successful at stirring you. Besides, your bed was far more comfortable than the sofa, no matter how much your limbs screamed at you, begging to rest for a few minutes longer.

“Just a few more minutes,” you whisper to the dark, not having bothered turning the lights on, “I’ll shower and then go to bed. I have to.”

Your eyes remained closed while you felt your way around your nightly shower routine. Afterwards, you hesitated at putting on an oversized shirt, thinking that it would be easier to go without, but decided against going nude for the sake of not getting a cold in your sleep as your hair dried.

Returning to your bed, you notice that your phone screen was lit-up, a notification from the work WhatsApp group chat. Sungchan was complaining (on main!) about his job title.

“For heaven’s sake,” you mutter, wondering why he couldn’t have double checked the job being advertised or even saying something at his interview when he first joined.

Without thinking twice, you tap out a response.

you bro why are you incapable of clearing some dishes like fr it’s not that deep

fullsun fr fr yn always spitting straight fax this why we love yn

taeyongie (manager) sungchan, we have discussed this. like when you first joined -- and it wasn’t a problem then so i’m not following as to why it would be now?

jofam he didn’t read his job description,, can’t have someone who doesn’t do the bare minimum on jcc… tune in next week for model mcshizzle or classroom stuff; ion remember

you well i thought we were all capable human beings here

“chef” doyoung :| i’m on jcc next stop telling every to leak my newds on twt

kun (half manager) this is why i only deal with like two of you on a daily basis

chef yuta i can’t order food and i have qualifications so why do you think sungchan was gonna read his job description bahaha

sungchan how do i 

sungchan delete myself

sungchan from this gc

At this, you giggle. It’s been a long day for everyone and despite your initial thoughts of this conversation going in the complete opposite direction, you were pleasantly surprised.

Sometimes the people you worked with were the sole reason you paid any attention to what was going on around you. Days have been wishy-washy recently, you head all over the pace but finally somewhere much better than it had been in months. 

Next steps: get your gp to spell your name correct when they text you about appointments.

Tonight, you know you’ll lay, thinking about the deliverboob guy that shouted at you for telling you his number would be ready in ten minutes after he had waited the first ten minutes you had told him, knowing that he was probably going to be mad but also just telling him what you were told by the managers dealing with takeaway, and you think, Yeah. Tomorrow will be just about the same.

At least Jaehyun was a good flirt in and outside of work.

You quickly take a snap that you deem teasing enough to grab his attention but innocent enough to pretend you didn’t know what you were doing and caption it with something suggestive. 

You got the fastest response you’d had in a long time from that man.

He’ll be over in ten, he says. You know he lives a twenty minute electric scooter ride away but don’t question it.

Which reminds you, Yuta didn’t prepare the meat like he said he would for marinating overnight.

Sighing, you sit up and change into a night shirt, knowing you'll be sewing the buttons back on tomorrow morning before work, “At least someone’s meat is getting marinted tonight.”
