#I am happy with their brand of skinship actually

[scrumptiousstuffs]

Hi, I would like to read your opinion about something... Do you think first and khao feel uncomfortable with each other when it comes to skinship? Cause both are very touchy people when it comes to friends and co-stars, hugging and kissing others but when it comes to each other, they can't even hug without panicking or wanting to let go as soon as possible. Overall, I see this behavior the most with first since it makes it even weirder since he literally is so touchy with EVERYONE, but khao. And for khao, i feel like he doesn't get close either , but he feels that first is not comfortable with it. Now we can see that he has somehow become a little more used to it, but it's still very noticeable.

Ok, firstly a disclaimer, whatever I say in this post are my personal thoughts. I know nothing about the boys personal lives beyond what we are shown either by themselves or their friends/colleagues.

But if you ask me, our boys (especially First) are actually quite selective to whom they bestow their physical affection or “skin-ship”, like you call it.

From the outside, First is super friendly, kind and appears affectionate. However, he really only initiate contact with people he is comfortable with off-screen. Now, whenever he is in working mode, First has no issue doing skinship with his partner (e.g with Gawin - the picture below, I’m pretty sure was while they were filming Not Me because First’s looks like he is in a hospital gown, presumably after he got shot)

Off-screen though, the only people he seems to hug or allow physical contacts are his inner circle (basically his bestie, Mix and Earth) or people he pretty much adopted as brothers (Tay whom he calls older brother and Pond his ototo. First also seems to have a cat-mouse brother relationship with Off, which is quite cute. Plus, I’m convinced both First and Khaotung have adopted Joong as their son 🤣)

Khaotung is actually (in a way) a bit “free” with his affection but because he is such an introvert, you rarely see him initiating it 🙃 - instead it his Nongs or Phis coming to him and pretty much baby-fied him - Tay, Lego, Nanon, Force, Earth, Sea, Perth etc. This was most obvious during the recent Musicon and GMMTV StarLympics 2023 Concert.

As for Khaotung and First, they do plenty of “skin-ship” but perhaps not the usual fan-service gestures that we are used to with other CPs (hopefully I and some of my moots here have convinced you that our boys brand of CP is not the norm ? 😅)

If you are asking me if they do overt skin-ship, fan-service-y gestures, then not really. I answered in a previous ask before that our boys are terrible at usual fanservice. With the same ask, I mentioned Khaotung seems to defer to what First is comfortable with (in terms of what to show on-screen). They are definitely better now and has settled into a comfortable equilibrium.

Now, when the boys emotion gets beyond them (like when they are excited or if they are super comfortable without the need to worry about camera or audiences), they treat each other like an extension of their own body (and those are my favourite moments of these 2 🥰). I swear Khaotung pretty much has “property of First” tattooed somewhere on his body...

Juxtapositions, and focus

"How can you think Jikook are still real when they just hugged like they haven't seen each other in months??"

Whelp, my adorable little Vulcan, I'll tell you. Human beings have this thing called "humor" and they often tease each other when they feel safe and happy in each other's presence. (This is my gently teasing you, by the way.)

They hugged like they haven't seen each other in months because it was exaggerated, in a joking way, as Jungkook had been abroad for a week. And possibly they just got snockered together the night before, so it's hilarious to them.

Jimin gave Hobi almost the same exaggerated hug even though two days prior they shared a drink together. I still cling to my work wife every week on the days when we're both in the office and it's been three years of us talking almost daily. It's a silly way to convey love.

Just like when Jimin says "Is it you? Is it you or is it me? The smell of alcohol." He asks this ridiculous question while also cradling a stinky JK to him, and JK is smiling so hard his eyes crinkle while he wraps his arms around Jimin's waist and presses him close with his hands. And then they proceed to stand next to each other, arms touching, like magnets for a good long while. You know, just the usual.

Just like on JK's lives where his eyes lit up and he kept calling for Jimin to come to him... after using extremely formal language to say hello and bow to Jimin? It's not actually conveying that there's distance between them--because in the next breath he's dropping all honorifics and using just the most possessive, entitled, teasing tone. You know, also just as usual.

It's about the juxtaposition of extremes.

Or when JK responded to Jimin's "I miss you" on WeVerse with extremely aegyo "Me too." Jungkook is a 25-year-old millionaire rock star with a motorcycle, a full sleeve of tattoos, several piercings, and 8-pack abs. But he can turn on his big doe eyes and act super cute for Jimin.

Now look, to be fair, I can't tell you Jikook are romantically together as if it were a fact. I don't live in their cupboards and stalk them 24/7. I am pretty sure they are not sharing an address right now that we've seen on camera.

I'm guessing they spend time over each other's houses when they can, when schedules line up, probably sometimes over night (they are night owls). And on nights when that's not possible, it seems to me that Jimin spends hours watching all of JK's lives and JK spends 90 minutes ignoring the live chat to watch Jimin on YouTube.

I'm pretty sure they keep in contact using technology when they are apart on projects because when Jungkook doesn't answer Jimin's texts, it drives him crazy.

I'm absolutely convinced they love each other and they sure do act like they are IN LOVE with each other.

My god, the tones they use exclusively for each other is enough... And also, I don't see anyone else in Bangtan lifting each other up, trying to touch each other's skin under clothing, squeezing each other's butts, rolling around in soap, calling each other baby, giving each other bite marks, making videos about each other sharing a room or a trip, or including each other on super secret hidden love songs that will never be for sales or streams. But honestly it's the way everyone around them from their members to family to brands to tattoo artists to boxing coaches all still treat them like a couple--that's the clincher for me.

Totally fine if you don't see it. I've tried, I've really truly tried to see other pairings in BTS, watched tons of content around it, and there's plenty of silly flirting and deep respect and tons of skinship, but I genuinely do not see the same exclusive intimacy and heated chemistry among anyone else, and that's saying something because Jimin has chemistry with everyone. (Jimin can make a broken lamppost light up with love.)

But just because *I* don't see it, doesn't mean I look down on others who do see genuine romantic feelings among other pairings. I don't have the monopoly on truth. I'm just making my best educated guesses.

The day I feel the need to wander over to someone else's space and tell them they are wrong and I am right and pop off on some diatribe about why they are so wrong and I am so right is the day I truly have lost the plot, and no longer actually believe in my own assertions.

It's completely normal to have doubts, to question yourself, to ask others for their takes on things. I was a hella insecure Jikooker my first few months as baby ARMY. And I admit, even now, sometimes I doom spiral and ask myself if maybe Jimin and Jungkook are just really good friends who have absolutely no sense of boundaries when it comes to each other and I'm projecting a love story onto them. But naw. Then they act like they did in that Bangtan Bomb from today and I'm pretty sure I'm not full-tilt delulu for thinking if it's not them it's not anyone.

And I do not need to convince anyone. I do not need to convert anyone. I don't even really need to answer this question put to me, but if you're hoping to be convinced...

Why do I think Jikook are still together?

Because while all of BTS really love each other... even if Jikook are apart for a while, the moment they are back together...

...everyone and everything else sort of fades away for them.

Even ARMY.

Now You See Me: part 22.5 (2249 words) - best thing since sliced bread

• • • • • •

You’re a content creator that is wanting to change up your brand a little bit. 

Yoongi is a faceless musician. Well, he’s two people at once. He’s Agust D online and while performing, but he’s Min Yoongi in real life. 

Who will he be to you?

• • • • • •

It was a couple hours into game night with everyone, and it was already wild. Except for Jungkook because he fell asleep under the table while petting Yeontan a while ago. 

For one, Yoongi had just finished up rapping some new song he was working on in front of everyone. He’d just finished a drink and was feeling great when he performed, so it was overall the best thing you’d ever witnessed. In fact, you were sure that if Tae were there, he would have literally thrown himself onto the floor for the man. Really, you were sad that their dinner reservations could not be changed. The two of them would have had so much fun with your group.

The second thing that contributed to the wild night was the fact that Hoseok wouldn’t stop holding your hand, which you didn’t mind, per se. But after what Yoongi had told you, you had a weird feeling. Just as you were about to whisper and ask him exactly why he was holding your hand so firmly and possessively, there was a drunken interruption. 

“Yah! The music video turned out so well!” Jin slurred, not looking at anyone but Namjoon while talking to everyone. It was a well known fact that the two of them couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and alcohol just made it worse. Actually, Namjoon currently had his hands under Jin’s shirt and was resting his lips against Jin’s neck too. Nothing else was happening, but the skinship was real. 

On one side of you was Hoseok, because he was clearly holding your hand, and on the other was Yoongi. Both men froze at Jin’s statement, not sure which person he was complimenting. With Yoongi’s mask securely placed on his face and only a straw coming up from his drink, you weren’t able to even remotely decipher what he was thinking. 

But Jin continued before anything could be said, “The song and editing were good, sure, but Y/N just was WOW. She really made my heart hurt. Like seriously the best thing since sliced bread.”

A smile formed on your lips as you felt Yeontan wiggle in between your feet and settle between your legs. “Awh! Auntie Jin, the praying mantis, you’re the sweetest but it was all Hobi and Agust D…”

You saw Yoongi’s head turn to look at you just as Jimin added, “Don’t be modest! Your beauty is what got the video so many views in 24 hours! Even now, you’re filming all of us, and there is not a person on your subscriber list or that has watched your videos that doesn’t think you’re nice to look at!”

You blushed as Jimin’s comment. Unfortunately, you were still looking at Yoongi, so he got the full view of your blushing cheeks (as if they could even get more flushed after the alcohol flush). Everybody in the room but you could tell that the look Yoongi was giving you matched Jimin’s statement. 

“You’re beautiful, Y/N,” Hobi whispered into your ear and squeezed your hand tighter. 

You took this moment to let Hoseok know that you only liked him in one way, even if you weren’t sure what his true feelings were. So you told him, “You’re such a good friend, Hobi. Honestly, I’m so happy that I have you as a brother.”

The smile on his face didn’t reveal his inner pain as he continued clutching your hand like you were together. The mood stayed for a little while longer, Namjin now choosing to lay kisses on each other and play with the other’s hair, Jungkook still passed out, Jimin trying his hardest to make you blush, Hoseok’s hand in yours and Yoongi silently watching your every move. 

Actually the card game had been completely forgotten about, black and white cards strewn across the table that was also littered with alcohol spills and popcorn. This was a night that you’d want to repeat, maybe next time you wouldn’t film it. You could live in the moment as much as the next person. Plus, with everything happening at once, you weren’t even sure that any of the footage you’d gotten was usable. 

• • • • • •

Now, 4 hours since the camera had been turned on, it was off. 

At this time, Namjin had already headed home because they had to babysit tomorrow afternoon, and they needed to get some sleep and nurse the hangovers that they were sure to have. Hoseok had gotten a ride home with Jimin and Jungkook because he lived nearby, but Yoongi decided to stay for a bit longer, wanting to help clean up. He sent his friends on their way because they were big babies and clearly too drunk to function. 

A side note, everyone clearly took a cab because there would be no driving from this shindig. You wanted all your friends alive and well. 

Actually, Yoongi did not drink all that much that night, or ever you assumed. He had nursed a few drinks, so he was feeling good. He didn’t seem like the type to want to get drunk. You were in the same boat. You had a few, but you knew when you had to stop. 

You were seriously amazed that Yoongi had managed to keep his mask (on his chin for the most part) and cap on the whole night because it got hot in there and everyone was goofing around. You’d really have to be careful while editing. If his face was showing, you’d need to blur it out or put a picture of his profile pic on it or something. But you could worry about that tomorrow. 

“I’ll help you put everything away. We made a huge mess,” he said, picking up as many soju bottles as he could in his hands and taking them to the recycling bin. 

“Okay,” you whispered. You didn’t know if it was your tipsy state or fatigue, but you found yourself watching Yoongi carefully. You noticed that now that the camera was off, and it was just the two of you, he took his mask off and pushed his hair back, putting his cap on backwards. 

It was a look that you found you wanted him to wear more often. In the background, faint music could be heard and briefly, there was a siren outside. But none of that noise stopped you from making eye-contact with him for a second. You quickly looked away, long enough for him to hopefully think nothing of it before you continued watching him again. 

Your eyes followed the slight stumble in his step when he tripped over air. It was absolutely the cutest thing that you’d ever seen him do. You looked at his long fingers holding the bottles carefully, cleaning up your apartment, and wondered what you did to deserve being friends with this man. There was something about him that just made you want to get to know everything about him. You knew there was a lot hiding under that mask and cap. 

You were simply standing at the counter, blatantly staring at him instead of helping when he turned around. He caught your eye for real this time, and you looked away, blushing. “Am I cleaning this all by myself or are you going to help out?”

Grateful that he didn’t bring up your staring, you went to the table quickly, clumsily, and grabbed the empty bags of snacks. The cards were still everywhere, so you were set on organizing those as well. 

Your kitchen was becoming cleaner by the second. Yoongi removed his jacket, sporting a black t-shirt underneath. It wasn’t like you planned to notice his arms right away, but you couldn’t help yourself. You’d rarely seen him get so comfortable. The only other time was when you’d had that fun night of puzzles and arcade games. 

When he caught you staring at him this time, the third time, the boy blessedly kept quiet and simply let you look at him. In fact, you could feel his eyes, trail down your body as much as yours raked over his. You were standing there, a broom in hand, ready to sweep the floor, but he was still checking you out. 

Walking towards you slowly, he placed his hand over yours that was holding the broom. Leaning to your ear, he whispered, “Here, let me do that.”

His breath on your skin left you with shivers coursing through your body. You couldn’t reply, meekly nodding instead. At this point a low rumble came from his chest, and you were sure that he could tell how flustered he made you. You couldn’t even hide your attraction, and if you were being honest, you didn’t want to. Even his hand over yours holding a broom made your heart do a thing.

The rest of the cleaning was done in a blur, both of you mostly sober now. You needed to get Yoongi out of your house as soon as you could because you couldn’t stop looking at him, thinking about him, wanting him…

Walking beside Yoongi down the hallway with Tannie at your feet when the cleaning finally finishing (it felt like it took a thousand years), you waited as he put on his shoes. He had already put on his jacket again in the kitchen, so at least you weren’t distracted by his arms any longer. Something improved. 

Yoongi slowly stood straight, looking you in the eye with an odd expression. “You’ll be okay on your own?” He asked, low voice seemingly lower than usual. 

“I’ll be fine. Tae should be home soon,” you managed, leaning your back and using the wall for support. How had you not noticed how perfect Yoongi could be until this night? Sure, you knew he was hot and that he checked literally all your boxes, but something in you shifted tonight. He was consuming you. There was absolutely no way that he was leaving your mind when he left tonight. 

Yoongi took a step towards you, and your breath hitched. It was clearly audible, but he didn’t seem to notice. One of his hands moved up and tucked a stray piece of hair behind your ear. “I’m going to leave now.” Was it just you or was his body coming closer to yours, head moving toward yours?

“Okay. Text me when you get home, so I know you got there safely…” Your words came out in barely a whisper because you were sure that he was moving closer to you. 

“For sure…yeah…”

Your hands that were previously just hanging by your side went up to his chest, stopping him from getting any closer. “Yoongi, what are you doing?” You mentally face-palmed. Why would you ask a question at a time like this. You’d been kissed before. You definitely knew what was going to happen, you stupid girl!

Luckily, he simply ignored your question, choosing to grab the wrist of one of your hands and guide it, so it was around his neck. His eyes, that were staring at your lips, met yours, looking for any sort of hesitation from you. 

“So Hoseok?” He questioned, not moving a muscle away from you. 

“Hoseok who?”

The Yoongi that was consuming your before was coming at you full-speed, and you didn’t want him to stop. His body was warm against your own, even though he was barely touching you. Your breathing became laboured just thinking about kissing him, and it felt like an eternity passed before he connected your lips. 

He was hesitant at first, but you didn’t waste any time in kissing him back. It was clear that you wanted it and him. 

Yoongi’s lips felt right against your own. They were soft, and he tasted of alcohol. You moved your lips with ease, arms both going around his neck and pulling him closer to you. Yoongi took a step closer to you, pushing his torso against yours. When you felt his waist rest against yours, you gladly opened your mouth to him. 

His teeth grazed your bottom lip as he pulled away for a second, looking into your eyes to see your reaction. When you lazily closed your eyes again, you felt his lips come back to yours. His tongue darted inside your mouth, moving adeptly against your own. The hands that were previously clutching at your sides moved into your hair, tugging it to angle your head. 

When this caused the kiss to deepen, you let your hands slide from around his neck to under his jacket and around his back. This kiss was something else. You hadn’t kissed anyone in a long while, and you couldn’t have been more ecstatic that it was Yoongi. It felt as if his touch was setting you in fire, skin blazing with each kiss. 

In the back of your mind, you wondered what this kiss would mean…if it would mean anything to him. But that thought didn’t last long because when neither of you were paying attention, the front door had been unlocked and Taehyung walked through the door. 

“Agust D?” Tae asked, causing you to push Yoongi off of you abruptly. 

“Tae!” You exclaimed, trying to catch your breath and fix yourself. Yoongi looked into your eyes one last time before pushing himself out the door. You were left in front of your brother, who was looking like he wasn’t sure what he saw…or what he thought he saw.

Hairdresser!AU with Mingyu

moodboard link 

Group: Seventeen 

Member: Kim Mingyu 

Genre: fluff, romance 

Type: Bulletpoint AU 

Word Count: 1.8k 

since Mingyu is still pretty young, he’s enrolled to one of those beauty school salons where they can practice on customers

he’s not an official hairdresser, but he’s pretty close to getting there 

he’s like one of three guys who studies/works there out of like a thousand women 

unless you wanna count Jeonghan (but he’s more of a consultant than an actual hair stylist)

it’s fun working there though, at least for Mingyu 

he gets to meet lots of different people

most of them actually come back, specifically requesting him

can you just imagine how much tip money this boy has? 

he’s just got a way with his hands and he’s got the confidence to seem like he knows what he’s doing 

(don’t tell anyone, but if you look close enough, you would see the panic in his eyes because he actually doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing) 

Wonwoo: “have you ever, like… messed up on someone’s hair?” 

Mingyu: “I kNoW wHaT I’M dOiNG” **sweats internally**

for real though, he actually does his job fairly well

he’s just worried about messing it up and because he’s worried about messing it up, he kind of does mess it up, and it’s a whole cycle 

but because of those mistakes, he actually learns how to fix them quickly 

anyways 

because of his height, the customer’s chair is always really high—everyone can always tell which vanity is his due to the high heights of his chair 

his long limbs also cause him to bump into a lot of the furniture 

despite the messes he (kind of) creates, he’s actually rather neat 

all of the products are sorted out by brand and type, so he basically knows where everything is 

anD he uses specific cleaning supplies to keep his mirrors in top condition 

Jihoon: “this is the same guy who wipes his snot on us?” 

Hansol: “we love duality” 

speaking of the seventeen crew, they….. kind of? trust Mingyu (when it comes to the job)

like

they know he’s talented—they give him like 200% of their support

**cue seungcheol throwing a party after Mingyu’s first customer** lmao

but like……

it’s like…. you’ve known a friend for too long and you trust them but not trust trust them because you k n o w them

some of them do come in to get their hair done, but most of them just prefer to watch and support from the side…

…………. some more nervous than others

(Joshua watched Mingyu drive into a wall when he got his permit, so, when it came to hair, Joshua was like nope nope nope)

anywho, the main point is: Mingyu is a very talented dude who is trying his best at doing what he loves

now let’s get to you

let’s just say

we all have our talents, but…. hair… was definitely not yours LOL

you first met Mingyu after an unfortunate hair incident

dying your hair is all fun and games until it’s all over you and you can’t even tell if it set in

“maybe you should have went to the salon”

“oH gEE yo U thIN K??”

so you made an appointment at the beauty school nearby because it’s cheaper

since it’s your first time, they assigned someone to you

receptionist: “if you don’t like him, you can always request for someone else the next time you come in—but I think you’ll like him”

you: “.... him???”

you admit, when you came in, you were rather nervous

because it’s like……. your first….. official salon……

also lowkey because these were all students and you’ve heard enough horror stories of having them mess up

(your friend Sunny got her hair done at a beauty school and……. let’s just say that her hair was shorter and brighter than it was supposed to be……….. oof that was a bad time for Sunny—refer to I Got A Boy era)

as you wait, you browse through the magazines and the time… kinda just…. passed

about ten minutes later, you see a tall ass giraffe statue looking model in front of you with a blinding bright smile

you: error 404

at first, you thought he was just another……. handsome ass customer

but then you noticed the little binder….. that he had in his hands

and then he calls out your name

“hi, I’m Mingyu and I’ll be styling your hair today”

………….. what?????? ……. the???? …….. fuuuuuccccc—??

due to the processing error that was occuring, you didn’t even notice Mingyu getting closer

he thought you were pretty cute with your messed up hair (and your shocked face was even more adorable)

“hello???”

“oH uM okAY…….. please…. uM…... lead the way….”

when you got to his vanity/station (??), you notice how clean it is

…. and also….. the abnormal height of the chair……

you: “....... so am I climbing this??? Or???? what are we doing???”

Mingyu just laughs, but he also explains, “in order for me to do hair, I need to see it and I… am pretty tall”

so (when he lowers the chair) you get on the chair and the first thing he asks you, makes the blood rush to your cheeks

“I’m assuming you want me to redye your hair”

you kind of nod along embarrassingly, “...... yeah, the thing is…. my hair is…. complicated”

Mingyu nods with you, “all hair is complicated, but I’m sure we’ll figure out how to work with it”

so y’all spent about twenty minutes looking at hair dye first

his binder had all sorts of hair dye samples and he was getting all excited showing you…. he didn’t even notice how close he was getting to you 

and like…….. you…... are very….. distracted……

because he’s….. just…... really….. handsome and he looks so happy to be doing your hair, even though most people wouldn’t be

so y’all figure out a color, but before that he has to wash your hair….

when he does, his hands gently caress your hair—he handles it with so much care and gentleness, you almost melt on the spot

honestly you don’t even remember much, you were practically lulled to sleep

…… until the first slap of cold dye make contact with your scalp and wakes you up

“jESU S CHRIST”

Mingyu just laughs, showing his pretty pearls, and you end up laughing with him

as he gets through the bottom layer of your hair, you start asking him some questions—hey, he’s cute and you’ll be here awhile

(it’s not like you have anything to lose)

“so…. how did you get into hairstyling?”

Mingyu laughs again, “it’s kind of funny because it was supposed to be a joke between my friends and I, but they actually thought I was really good at hair”

you make a little hum of agreement, trying not to move your head

he continues, “I started looking into it and started practicing on some of my other friends… now I’m just here”

you end up nodding along and taking a glance at him, “I mean, from what I see, you seem to know what you’re doing”

he grins at you again, “confidence is key to everything”

“well,” you start, “not just confidence, I feel that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t want to admit it”

Mingyu's ... a bit ... touched….

because, even though he gets a ton of support for his goals, he doesn’t always feel 100% in his skills and no one has really told him to be

…... except for you……. a cute stranger with a bit of messy hair

as he continues to do your hair, y’all go back and forth—asking each other questions to get to know one another 

eventually, the other stylists are giving Mingyu, the look

(because now the convo has turned into lowkey flirting—lowkey to y’all…. not to everybody else tho lmao)

as the dye is setting into your hair, Mingyu still doesn’t leave

he kind of waits with you (even though he’s trying to make it look like he’s working) 

you actually really like talking to him because you can tell he enjoys what he does

and vice versa

he can see that you are a funny, open-minded person 

when he’s officially done with your hair, he asks for a picture of you

(just for a reference in his binder, he swears on it)

as you are paying for the job, you leave a little tip…… with your number on it….

about a week later….. Mingyu texts you: do you want a haircut?

Seungkwan: “this is the saddest thing I have ever witnessed—oW doN’T hIT ME”

after that, everything was history

he took you out on a cute little date at a diner nearby

and it’s like the conversation never ended

dating hairdresser!Mingyu is just as it sounds like

he will definitely play with your hair, whether consciously or unconsciously

he’s generally just really touchy, like he needs to have his hands on you somewhere

when y’all first started dating, he was really shy when he brushes your hand and now he’s real shameless, whether it’s in private or public

despite that though, whenever you make a move…. get ready for an extremely red but giddy Mingyu

honestly he feels more like an overgrown and over affectionate puppy than a boyfriend

because of him, you bring lots of items on you now….

like a first aid kit….. and lots of tissues…..

because this boy is clumsy and kind of messy

Jihoon: “you don’t understand what you’ve done for all of us, I’ve been a personal tissue for years”

Mingyu: “stop being so overdramatic”

Wonwoo: “have you LOOKED at his laundry recently, it lacks YOUR hand markings”

you: “doNT ATTACK HIM LIKE THIS”

seventeen actually loves you because now Mingyu has you to practice on first

Joshua: “if an accident ever happens, I have a way for you to get some real good extensions for cheap, but you didn’t hear it from me”

he’s joking…. kind of

okay, but real talk, they love that you’re, not only supportive of him, but also you give him more, real confidence about his work

one time, he was giving Wonwoo a lil haircut

cue you in the corner with some pompoms: “BABE YOU GOT THIS YOU’RE DOING GREAT”

Mingyu: turns red

Wonwoo: “should I leave?”

anyways

y’all are a super cute couple

lots of support for one another, lots of skinship, lots of comfortableness

oH MY GOD DOMESTIC MINGYU

he cleans, he cooks, he’s great with kids

all signs point to husband!Mingyu

and you are not going to let him go

you: “how are you literally perfect at everything??? you hit the jackpot, this is unfair” 

Mingyu, mumbling: “.... I hit the jackpot when I met you”

you: ?? “what’d you say?”

Mingyu: “nothing, nothing” **continues to stare at you with heart eyes**

If you thought you could get some sleep that night you were dead wrong. You were up to the crack of dawn thinking of that kiss and everything Baekhyun had told you.

Did he really feel this way about you or was it just a trick? But Baekhyun wasn’t like that. He was very passionate about his feelings and it was prevalent. You had to ask yourself these same questions as well. Did your heart crave Baekhyun or was this some kind of coping mechanism your mind activated after Suho left. In so many ways Baekhyun was different from Junmyeon, hell the only thing connecting them is SM and you. Why did life have to be such a fucking bitch?

Your alarm clock blared and you knew it was time to put on your best smile and pretend like you and Baekhyun didn’t kiss.

You heard Sehun come in at about 2 am last night. You didn’t have the energy to talk about his conquest of the night. That’s why when he popped in last night, you pretended to be out like a light.

You started your day with a shower and because today was just going to be MV shooting you opted for simple black leggings with a hoodie. You were quiet when you left because you didn’t want to wake Sehun.

The drive to the shoot was full of dread. You would have to face Baekhyun and act like nothing happened between you two. The atmosphere would be awkward which is the last thing you wanted. When you got there the mood was light, you heard Chen’s loud laugh and naturally assumed Baekhyun was the cause of their laughter. Xiumin saw you first and called you over to the three of them. Inevitably Baekhyun’s eyes landed on you and you felt goosebumps graze your skin. The effects he had on you was scary, how could a glance send your body into a frenzy?

They were in the middle of getting their makeup done, all of them in their outfits which looked good enough to be in a Gucci fashion show. The concept of this comeback was royalty, something their fans have been begging for since before they could remember. The director called them when they were done getting ready and you just stood off to the side to observe and be there when they needed you. You just wanted this day to go by smoothly so you can get home and wallow in your self-pity.

They did there individual shoots and their group scenes. One scene, in particular, seemed to annoy you, Baekhyun was filming a part with a girl who looked like she just walked off the runway of Milan. Their chemistry was blatantly obvious. There was no doubt that she was flirting with him, the obsessive amount of skinship they were displaying made your stomach hurt. It wasn’t like Baekhyun was stopping her either if anything he was egging her on to continue. When she would lean into him while laughing he only made it worse by whispering something in her ear that would bring her closer to him. You were upset, to say the least. Not because you were jealous but because not even 24 hours ago he was confessing to you and now he totally forgot about your existence.

You excused yourself for some air, not being able to see them grope each other any longer. Of all people, Baekhyun was the one to notice your discomfort and you only solidified it when you left.

Baekhyun was wrapped with filming for the day so he followed you out to see what was the problem. “Hey, you ok?”

The fact that he had the audacity to ask you that amazed you. “Yeah, perfect,” you responded with a tight-lipped smile.

“Doesn’t seem that way to me,” Baekhyun countered.

“Then why ask in the first place?” The venom in your words had the strength to knock out a python.

“Because I care.”

The light chuckle that left your lips couldn’t be stopped, it was out there and there was no taking it back, much like his confession to you.

“You honestly think I don’t care? Especially after last night?” So he did remember.

“Wow, I’m surprised you actually remember that. Considering the fact that you seemed to have more pressing matters on your mind,” and by that, you meant the tall, brunette who practically threw herself at Baekhyun.

“Oh my g- are you- are you jealous?” His mouth grew wide as if this was the most amusing thing of his life.

You sneered at his remark, “Me being jealous would require me actually caring.” That was a slap in the face to both of you.

“How long are you gonna uphold this facade?” His arms crossed in front of his chest of his eyebrows rose.

Like the teenager you felt like at the moment, you rolled your eyes, “Not everyone is outspoken like you Baekhyun. Some people need time to actually process what they feel before diving head first,” you laid off him and lightened your tone.

“And I understand that I told you I’d wait. I wasn’t lying about that. Whatever you saw in there was nothing more than harmless flirting.”

You rose a finger and pointed it at him, “Aha! So you do admit to flirting with her.” Why were you trying so hard to prove him wrong? What would you honestly gain out of it?

“I never said I wasn’t. I was just trying to make you jealous to see if you even remotely feel the same way about me and I would say by my observations that you do.” A smirk adorned his lips and you wanted nothing more than to wipe it off.

“Aish, you bastard!” You raised your hand as if you were going to hit him and he flinched in response.

“Yah! You would do the same in my shoes.” He was right about that. If you were in his place you would want some kind of confirmation that this isn’t some hopeless one-sided crush.

Your anger subsided and you just became annoyed with him and began giving him the silent treatment as if you guys were in kindergarten all over again. “You are being very mature about this I see.”

You just grunted and moved to go back into the venue where Xiumin was wrapping his scenes. Like a lost puppy, Baekhyun followed after you with a pout. He understands why you were upset and in some way he was happy about it because that meant you cared enough to get jealous in the first place.

The director wrapped up for the day and sent everyone on their way. You were expecting everyone to go their separate ways since the boys didn’t have anything else to do today. But of course, Baekhyun had asked for you to go with him somewhere. You were his manager which meant you worked for him, so who were you to say no to him. Xiumin and Chen were slumped from today so it was just going to be you and Baekhyun this time.

He had his car this time around, an Audi S7 which was fairly new to the market. Just being in it felt expensive, the leather seats, the sleek black interior, everything about it screamed RICH! In your life, you have been a few high-end cars, mainly because of Junmyeon’s doing but never have you been in something so smooth and classy.

Baekhyun caught on to your amazement of the car and asked you if you were a fan of cars. You shook your head no, because you have no clue about them except a few name brands.

By the looks of it, you guys were traveling to the heart of Seoul. “Baekhyun where are you taking me?” You looked over at him. He was driving with one hand on the wheel and the other on the clutch, his black hair was draped over his forehead. At this moment he looked like a movie star even while driving.

“To somewhere I know you’ll like.” Your eyebrows raised. He seemed oddly confident in himself which only made you anticipate it more. The music was playing at a low volume in case you wanted to talk to him about something but you didn’t. The car ride was quiet but not uncomfortable in the slightest.

The car stopped in front of a fairly crowded sidewalk. Bystanders were walking pass, some with their significant others, some alone. But there was no doubt that at least one of them would recognize Baekhyun the minute he stepped out of his car.

“Why are we here? Are you trying to get swarmed by fans?” Your tone was a bit hesitant because you were unsure of his intentions.

He just laughed and put on his black face mask and pulled up the hood of his Supreme hoodie. Before you could stop him and convince him to go somewhere more lowkey, he was out of the car and making his way around to your side of the car and opening the door for you. Unlike him you had nothing to cover your identity in case you were to be noticed, so you kept your head low and got out of the car. Without warning, he grabbed hold of your hand and lead you into the restaurant. You didn’t cause a scene, instead, you just followed and complied. It seemed as though you guys were in a ramen restaurant.

Once you guys were seated you began to look around more and it hit you, you guys were in Big Bang Seungri’s ramen restaurant. You looked back at Baekhyun with wide eyes and an opened mouth.

“Are we really- Is this- How did you-” Were you really so starstruck that you couldn’t finish your questions. Baekhyun found it adorable and just nodded as if he knew exactly what you were trying to say.

“Seungri is a good friend of mine.” Of course, he was, they were both Korea’s most loved idols.

It took a minute to recover from your shock but when you did the lady was there to take your order. You ordered the chef’s special while Baekhyun opted for snow crab ramen. Your taste buds were excited for what was to come.

“So am I doing a good job on our first date?” Your eyes went wide at his words and he couldn’t miss the opportunity to laugh at them. “Don’t worry I’m just joking. I told you I’d give you time. I just wanted to bring you here because I heard how much you wanted to come here.”

You calmed down at his words, for a second you thought you could feel your heart jump into your throat. “Well, that is very considerate of you Baek.”

A smile grew onto the lips you found yourself staring at more often than not. The rest of your time was filled with small talk and Baekhyun making you laugh until it physically hurt. When it came to an end you were sad, this has been one of the best times you’ve had in a while. Baekhyun paid the bill after much persuasion for you to let him. Unfortunately, Seungri wasn’t there himself but Baekhyun promised that he’d introduce you guys one day.

It seemed impossible to get to the car because outside the restaurant were dozens of screaming fans. Someone must’ve noticed Baekhyun and alerted the media. There was no way you two would make it out of their unscathed, but there was no other choice. Both of you left the way you came in, with your heads down and hands connected. All you heard was ‘Oppa!’ and the occasional gasp when they saw your hands linked. You prayed to any god that they wouldn’t get ahold of your information because you knew once they did your life was going to be hell on earth. It’s not news that k-fans are very protective, to say the least, and the last thing you wanted in this life is to be on their bad side.

Baekhyun opened the door for you to get in before making his way around to the driver's seat. The loud noise on the outside seems to subside now that you were in the car. But they were all so close to the windows which meant they could see you at any time. The flash from the cameras didn’t help your situation either. Sensing your annoyance, Baekhyun put the car in drive and sped off.

Although you had fun tonight you feared what would be the outcome tomorrow. You were prepared to see your face plastered all over the news. Baekhyun apologized for the chaos that came toward the end but it wasn’t his fault. It’s not like he purposefully called his fans and made them fill the streets. You knew that all he wanted was some time to feel normal and breathe. Your hand reached over to cover his hand that was on the clutch. It was like you had no control over your body because even you had no idea what the hell was happening. As soon as your hand touched his, his eyes darted at you. The red on your cheeks got noticeable especially now that he was looking at you.

“Yah look at the road!” You just didn’t want him to look at you, not like that. That look is a look that could make you melt even in the harshest of winters.

He gave a light laugh as the smile played on the corner of his lips. He took your hand and laced your fingers with his. He was always the one to take the more intimate route. You knew you shouldn’t be doing things like this with him, it was unprofessional but you were past professionalism at this point. All that went out the window the minute he confessed. You were always someone who did things with your heart. It was apparent for a while that Baekhyun was something more to you, you just didn’t know what. You weren’t over Junmyeon yet and you didn’t want to use Baekhyun as some rebound. You wanted whatever you were feeling to be real and true. It was times like these where you could feel the realness of your feelings for him. You didn’t want to dive head first this time, you wanted to be sure, you needed to know that this was serious and that it wouldn’t end up like the last time you decided to take a chance on a guy.

Baekhyun knew your address better than you did, from the countless times he took you home. He walked you up to your apartment but this time didn’t step over the threshold.

“I had a lot of fun tonight.” The blush on your cheeks was slowly creeping up on you.

The rectangle smile you adored found its way to his lips. “Told you that you’d like it.” You thought back to what he said in the car on the way there and that caused a smile to display on your mouth. “I know you know about what is underway and I want to tell you that I’ll make sure to protect you. I won’t let this drive you away from me. Trust me.” He was talking about what you were dreading.

“I know you will Baekhyun. It’s just scary. I’ve seen the hate some of these idols girlfriends get and I’ve seen the way something like this can bring down an idols success. The last thing I want to do is bring you down.” Your eyes averted to the floor, too scared to look him in the eyes.

“You see this is why I like you. You always think about others before yourself.” He reached for your hands and enveloped them in his. “I want to show you what it’s like to be prioritized first. I want you to know that in my life you’ll never be second.”

He was saying all the things that Junmyeon should have said. He was saying all the right things. Maybe that’s why your lips were on his. Baekhyun wrapped his arm your waist to pull you flush against him. Your hands found their way around his neck and traversing through his dark locks. His tongue was brushing your bottom lip asking for access and you accepted it. Quickly he established his dominance as his mouth passionately worked against yours.

You pulled him through the door and he closed it with the kick of his foot. Both of you got rid of your shoes and while keeping the kiss going. His hands went from your hips to your thighs, he gave them a light tap as a signal for you to jump. He walked you both to your room but in order for him to get the right room you had to break the kiss and tell him. He successfully made it to your room and soon enough he was laying you on your bed removing any article of clothing that was attached to your body. You helped take off his hoodie and white tee under it, looking at his abs was like looking at a piece of art. With your bottom lip between your teeth, you felt his muscular torso that only added to the wetness growing in your black, lace panties. Baekhyun’s lips were now beginning their assault on your neck, it was his canvas to play with and he was going to make sure that everyone knew who was responsible. The moans that slipped out where impossible to hold in, not when he was making you feel like you were on cloud 9.

When he was done with your neck, he kissed your collarbone, then the valley of your breasts. He made sure to fulfill every need of yours. He took your perky nipple in his mouth and the other with his hand.

“God.” You moaned with your hands in his hair.

He smirked at your satisfaction before moving down your body, leaving a trail of kisses down your abdomen before reaching your pelvis. He was only a few inches from where you needed him most. His hand grazed your clothed core and that alone had the power to make you squirm. “So wet for me baby.”

Hooking two fingers around the lace he pulled it down and off your legs completely. He kissed the inside of your thighs tentatively before getting to your aching core.

“B-baekhyun please.” You were begging for him to do something, anything.

“What do you want me to do baby? My fingers? My mouth?” He was teasing you.

“B-both.” Your eyes clamored shut when you felt his long, slender fingers glide into you. Not even giving you time to steady yourself his tongue attended to your folds. You wanted nothing more than to buck your hips to get more friction but his hand on hips was stopping you. So you decided to put your hands back in his hair and help him that way. If he wanted you to be a moaning mess then consider is mission complete. By the end of this, you’d be screaming his name so loud that your friends in Busan would be able to hear it. “Baek. I- 'm gonna cum.” You could feel yourself get to that point already.

“Let go, baby. Come on my love. I want to taste all of you.” His fingers worked in and out of you faster as his lips were on your clit giving you the push you needed to send you over the edge. He had you seeing white and moaning a string of profanities.

When he said he wanted to taste all of you he wasn’t kidding. He cleaned up whatever juices came from you like it was some kind of drink. He removed his fingers and brought them to your lips so you could taste yourself. After all, he did you weren’t gonna refuse, you wrapped your lips around his dainty fingers and sucked off the wetness that came from your dripping pussy. “Isn’t it one of the best things you’ve ever tasted?” The smirk on his face let you know that he was nowhere near done with you. The bulge in his pants could be felt and you felt bad that it wasn’t already freed from its restraints. So you helped with that problem yourself. You sat up on your mattress and pulled his pants along with his boxers down. His member sprung free and you were taken aback by the size, he was bigger than expected, well that’s another false rumor you can check off.

Following the theme of the night, you let Baekhyun take complete control. He turned you over and you were now face down, ass up. Everything was on display for him to see and he felt like a kid on Christmas day. He was done teasing, he just wanted to feel you wrapped around him. He gave himself a few pumps before lining himself up with your entrance. It was excruciatingly slow, the stretch was slightly painful but pleasurable. “Jesus baby you’re so tight.”

Finally, all of him was inside of you. He gave you a minute to adjust to him before beginning his thrusts. They started a slow pace but you when you asked for more he picked up the pace and became rougher. The sound of skin slapping skin filled the room along with your moans and Baekhyun’s grunts.

Once again you were teetering on the edge of your release. Baekhyun caught on and snaked his hand around to work on your clit. “Oh my god! Don’t stop baby!” You spoke in pleasurable moans. You repeated his name like a chant before you were releasing yourself around his dick. Soon enough he was finishing as well and he pulled out and released himself on your ass.

You were on the pill but better safe than sorry. You collapsed on the bed feeling beyond pleasure. He fell right next to you, both of you breathing heavily and sweating profusely. “That was-”

“Yeah it was.” You said finally realizing what just happened.

His head turned to you, “So what does this mean for us?”

You were sober and knew what you were doing when you kissed him. You knew where this was heading. Maybe this is what you needed to help you come face first with your feelings. Maybe this was a sign that you needed to let go and trust him. You moved your body so that you were cuddled into him. “It means that whatever article about us tomorrow won’t be a lie.”

Andromeda pt. 8

You were no one, a goody-two-shoes who always played by the rules. When you decided to change yourself and live a little more dangerously you got caught up in Taemin’s trap. He had no use for you and no desire to have you. You were a toy and a time killer. But, he just so happened to have a lot of time and you happened to be his new favorite play thing.

word count: 3.65k

You rushed out of the office and ran straight to your room. You stood with your back against your closed door and you held your chest as you tried to get a handle on your heart rate. Your heart felt like it was ready to beat out of your chest and you smiled to yourself and slowly lifted your hand to feel your lips. The same lips that were just pressed against Taemin. You couldn’t believe that, that had just actually happened. And to top it off you couldn’t believe that you actually had half a thought to go back to his office and finish what he’d started. But you wiped the thought away from your mind thinking that if he kicked you out for your own safety then you knew better then to do anything rash.

You steadied your breathing and gathered yourself before you went back out to face the rest of the world. You pulled back the door and were ready to step out when Taemin’s figure blocked the door way, making you freeze in place. You stood in your place and looked up to him anxious.

“Here” he said quietly handing you a credit card and keys.

You looked up at him softly, and smiled. It was nice to have someone offer to pay for your necessities and hand over the keys to their luxury car.

“Thank you!” you spoke up and he smiled down at you “you don’t have to though, I’ve got enough money and I can get an uber”

Taemin growled at the sound of the possibility “I’d rather go with you than let you get in another man’s car” he confessed quietly unaware that you could hear what he was saying.

“Then come with me?!” you said shyly

It was Taemin’s turn to freeze now as he looked away from you as if he was calculating something in his mind. He slowly started to smile and then he looked back down at you sheepishly.

“If we go together then people are going to see you and me as a couple.” Slowly his smile started to fade “are you ready for that?” he asked

You nervously laughed at his childishness and shook your head. “Aren’t we dating though?”

The smile on Taemin’s face was almost instantaneously happy again and he smiled at you as if you had just told him the best news in the world. “No, you’re my mate…so technically were not dating” he answered quickly

“So then what am i supposed to introduce you as to people?” you were genuinely curious and struggled to find the answer.

His mouth parted as if he was ready to blurt out whatever answer he had for you, but a moment’s hesitation cut him off. He scanned your face as if he was trying to recognize how you would feel at the sound of what he was about to tell you. You squinted your eyes at him now nervous for whatever he had to say.

“Well…” he started and stopped to clear his throat “I think the most appropriate way to introduce me would be as your husband.”

You slightly choked and looked at him like he was absolutely crazy “my husband?!” you asked dumbfounded “we haven’t even gone on a single date!”

“But we’re soulmates, so I think that naturally were at that stage and we’re past all of the boring dating stuff!” he replied partially pouty

You took a moment to really process what he’d told you and you knew that he was right. The two of you weren’t in a normal relationship were everything had to be taken slowly. You two were already one hundred percent in this because of your fate with each other. And if you were being completely honest the more time that you spent with Taemin and the more you got to know him the thought of spending the rest of your life with him didn’t make you sick to your stomach anymore. In fact you hadn’t felt this excited or right with anyone. Not even Minho!

“Okay… then if you’re my husband then shouldn’t I have a ring?” you asked him to see how far he would take it

“Do you want a ring?” he asked you seriously but you could see his lips curving into a smile

“Well, I mean yeah if I get married then I want to have a wedding ring!” you explained

He shook his head and showed a smile “Give me a minute and then we can go together”

You hummed and watched as he quickly disappeared right before your eyes. You waited and not even seconds later he was standing in front of you once again. He held a small ring box and kept it close to his face as he admired what was inside of it. You watched as his features changed from awe to love and finally to nervousness. He picked up your arm and took the ring out of the box and slowly slid it down on your finger.

Your jaw dropped as you finally laid your eyes on the ring. It wasn’t big but it wasn’t small either. It was silver with three diamonds in the middle. The center diamond was slightly larger than the rest of the immaculately cut jewels. It was in great shape but you could tell just by looking at it that its style was vintage. Rings like these weren’t made anymore. This ring had a story and belonged to someone special. You looked over its every feature carefully and then smiled up at Taemin.

“Do you like it?” he asked you softly

“Do I li-“ you scoffed “It’s so beautiful!” you whispered and you couldn’t help but love the way the ring looked placed on your hand. Your whole life you had imagined what your ring would look like, but this was perfect.

“It was my mother’s” Taemin confessed cutting off your thought process.

Your eyes widened and you felt sorry for Taemin. He had lived a long and painful life watching everyone that he ever knew and loved die as his remained the same. You couldn’t even begin to understand the heartache of that happening. And then it dawned on you that as you and he continued you eventually would be turned too. Meaning you would have to go through the same horrors that he did.

“I’m sorry” you muttered

He raised his hand and ran it over the top of your head “come on, let’s go get you some food I bet you’re hungry!”

The two of you were quiet the entire duration of the car ride, but nothing was awkward. Instead it was comfortable and you used the time to really look at Taemin and notice how attractive he is. It was like now that you suddenly had shared an actual intimate moment with each other you saw him as a completely different person. He no longer seemed edgy and mysterious, but soft and caring. His features used to mean nothing to you in comparison to Minho but now that you could see him he seemed like the most handsome man in the world.

When the two of you arrived to the store you hopped out and couldn’t help but notice the nostalgic and unsure look on Taemin’s face.

“When was the last time that you went to a grocery store?” you asked him with a wide smile

Taemin scoffed and bumped his shoulder into yours playfully. “About 70 years ago” he confessed with a smile

You pretended to be shocked and showed him your best overly surprised face, and in return he ruffled your hair with his hands wearing a wicked grin.

You entered the store and grabbed a cart and instantaneously Taemin started to freeze up. You were slightly concerned that Taemin agreed to come with you and risked himself being around so many people. You looked at his face and he didn’t seem wild or out of control and he didn’t seemed to be in pain. He just seemed uncomfortable doing such a human activity. You pulled to cart close to you and navigated it with one hand while you held onto Taemin’s hand with the other. Taemin’s shock for your skinship surprised him and whatever was wracking his brain was long gone.

You shopped around and one by one checked off everything on your list making your cart fill up quickly. Taemin scanned what all was in your cart and picked through some of your things with a smirk on his face.

“I forgot that humans require so much stuff.” He said nonchalantly

“I’m getting supplies so I can clean the house, you guys don’t have any and I’m slightly concerned with when it was last cleaned” you said curtly as you looked for the last isle you needed to visit.

Taemin just nodded his head in understanding and followed you around. You turned own the isle that you were looking for and headed straight for the ramen section. You neared the shelves and tensed as you came closer and closer to college boys who were standing as if they were debating what pack to buy and you stopped your cart. As quickly as possibly you stepped close and reached for your favorite brand that happened to be sitting on the top shelf. You didn’t look at the boys but knew that they were watching you as your shirt started to ride up and expose your stomach. You returned to the cart hearing the boys whispering about you behind your back and took the risk of looking up to see how Taemin was handling it.

You were expecting for him to be in full on psycho mate mode, but instead you were face to face with a man who looked like he was completely filled with lust for you. You had swallowed not knowing how to handle such an obvious look from him and licked your lips nervously. Taemin stood there and watched you squirm with pleasure knowing that you knew how he felt. He allowed for you to struggle until he finally pulled you into his chest by the collar of your shirt and placed a kiss on your lips. You pulled back from him shocked that he would kiss you like that in such a public place and shyly stepped away from him covering your mouth and your blush.

Taemin didn’t say anything but smirked at you and took your hand once more as he pushed the cart towards the front cashiers. You trailed behind his tall frame like a love-sick puppy with wide yes and a slight smile spread across your lips.

He unloaded the cart for you once you were ready to check out and paid while you watched him in amazement. You felt like a real married couple still in your honeymoon phase. You looked down at your ring and smiled to yourself imagining that it was real. If married life or even just a simple relationship with Taemin would be like this, him constantly caring and looking out for you, then you could live happily. It felt good to be the one being taken care of instead of hustling and bustling for once.  

“will you hand me that?” Taemin asked as he pointed towards your tampon box that you tried to hide as much as possible out of embarrassment.

You nodded your head and reached into the cart cursing yourself for trying to sneak home tampons like a child instead of just coming out to get them when you needed them.

“here” you said handing him the box

He took the box from your hand and as he was grabbing the box from you his fingers skimmed over yours. By now you were used to how cool his skin was but you were startled when a current ran through you by his chilly touch. You gasped and looked up into his eyes and he was smiling at you.

“there’s no need to be shy” he said in a whisper making you feel like you were completely safe and felt like you had nothing to worry about “in fact it’s something that we need to talk about”

You were curious as to why the two of you needed to talk about your menstrual cycle and you cocked your head at him. He chuckled and continued to check out while you were baffled and left hanging in the midst of your curiosity. You had never had to have the period talk with anyone other than your mother and your friends in grade school, let alone with a guy. You began to run the conversation over in your head when it dawned on you…. he had to discuss it because it would bother him! all of the blood would be disgusting and gross to him! It was like a lightbulb went off in your head and your suspicions went away. All you had to do was advocate for your good hygiene and cleanliness.

The checker was done scanning all of your items and your eyes widened when you saw how quickly the total cost of your grocery trip was. You pulled out your card and were ready to swipe away a chunk of your paycheck when Taemin quickly pulled out his own and swiped his instead. You were shocked that he would do something for you that was so…expensive and you couldn’t find the words to ask him why and thank him. instead he ignored you and signed his signature on the key pad as if he hadn’t just dropped such a tight wad of cash.

“thank you” you whispered to him

He finally turned his head to look at you and he gave you a handsome soft smile. One that seemed entirely genuine and completely innocent. As if he didn’t feel obligated to pay for your things but he truly wanted to do this for you and take care of you. You smiled back at him softly and as the bagger put all of the groceries back in your cart Taemin reached for your hand and brought it up to his lips so he could put a delicate kiss on your ring finger just below your new ring. You smiled shyly at his sweet display of affection and tucked your chin trying your best to hide your blush.

Taemin finished paying for your things and quickly put his wallet back in his pocket and pushed the cart away from the store. You followed behind him and began to think about what you would make when you got home. You smiled as you laughed in your mind thinking that you’d never have to watch out for another calorie or carb again since Taemin was stuck with you forever and decided to make pasta and garlic bread for dinner.

“What are you thinking about that has you smiling like that?” Taemin asked with a smile on his face too.

“dinner” you answered honestly

“ahhh, and here I thought you were gonna say it was me who you were thinking about!” Taemin said sarcastically as if he were offended

“Well you’ve got a part of my thoughts too” you answered softly

“Oh? Care to elaborate?” He said with a cheeky grin

You sighed and rolled your eyes “I was thinking that since you’re stuck with me forever I could get really really fat and never have to worry about dieting again”

Taemin just chuckled at you and popped the trunk to the car and handed you the keys “here go wait in the car while I put these in the trunk”

You gladly took the keys from him and took your seat since you got a free pass from putting groceries in the car, your least favorite part of the whole grocery shopping experience. It was only about ten seconds that Taemin took before he sat next to you. You looked at him confused as to why he was already done when there were so many groceries and all of a sudden you remembered. Vampire strength. Right.  The car purred to life and your speed racer was on the highway and sending the two of you back home.

The ten minute car ride had you on the edge of your seat and you silently prayed that your eggs wouldn’t have broken. Taemin whipped into the parking garage and once he was parked he turned to look at you.

“What do you want for dinner?” he asked

“Are you going to cook for me?” you asked slightly impressed

Taemin laughed and cleared his throat to become more serious “no, I’m not a very good cook but I can get all of your ingredients out for you”

“oh, then I’m having pasta” you answered

Taemin nodded his head once and in the blink of an eye he was gone. One second he was by your side and the next you could hear the trunk closing and the front door opening. Your head whipped around trying your best to follow him with your eyes but he was impossibly fast. You tried your best to shake off your amazement and walked inside of the house. You quietly trailed behind his path into the kitchen and you gasped when you found all of the groceries put away with pasta out and water on the stove heating up to a boil. Taemin was standing in the kitchen and leaning up against the counter tops and watched you with a knowing smile. You smiled back at him and then began to pull out the rest of the ingredients that you would need for your bread and your pasta sauce.

You quietly cut up vegetables and bread and prepared the rest of your food in time for the water to boil and the pasta ready to cook.  All in under ten minutes you had a plate in front of you with food that you could cry for. It felt like forever since you had had a meal and you sat down at the dining room table with a glowing smile and began to shovel the food in your mouth. You put your fork down once you were done with your meal and after a minute of rest took the empty plate and washed it in the sink.

You sighed once you were done in the kitchen and finally checked your phone for the first time today. Surprise, surprise no messages or notifications the world went on without you. But when your eyes finally caught the time your eyes went wide. No wonder you were tired with it being nearly 9 o’clock. By the time you took a shower and got ready for bed it would be already past your usual bed time. You stood up quickly and went to find Taemin wherever he was. You entered the kitchen but he was nowhere to be found. You immediately turned for the direction of his office as you began to call his name. In no time he found you instead of you having to search for him any longer.

“Hey I just wanted to thank you for the groceries and helping me with dinner. And I also wanted to let you know that I’m going to my room for the night”

“It was my pleasure” he said shyly

You smiled and waved goodbye and started to walk towards your bedroom. But instead of Taemin zooming past you he walked you all the way to your door and you felt awkward about his obvious presence right behind you. You walked slowly and Taemin just kindly walked behind you like a gentleman. When you got to your door you turned to face him once more and smiled before you turned the knob to your door. When you turned to walk inside you froze in your place and gasped.

You no longer had a room to yourself. Now you had two pairs of slippers in your room a second night stand with Taemin’s books and his phone. You walked towards the closet and found his shoes and clothes neatly pushed to one side separating his from your belongings. You couldn’t believe that he had actually done all of this in the time that you ate. You walked into the bathroom and low and behold a toothbrush and his hair products were on the opposite side of the sink of yours.

“Taemin…. What?...why?” you couldn’t ask a single question because you had too many of them running through your head.

“I know things seem like they are moving quickly, and they are. But, for me being with you is set in stone and there’s nothing else that I would rather do. So I figured that us living in the same room with each other would be the next best step before I claim you” he answered your questions

“oh okay” you said not really sure about what was going on but figured that it made sense

You didn’t really have any bad vibes from taemin moving in the same room with you but you knew it would be just slightly less freedom for you and a little less restraint from you and him making the final decision to finally claim you. So far Taemin had good abilities to step away from you when he knew that things were getting too dangerous, but you completely lacked that voice in the back of your head to give you a red flag. What would happen if you took things past the point of no return? What if you didn’t stop and Taemin didn’t stop you either? You didn’t know if you were confident enough in yourself that you wouldn’t be a vampire’s official mate in a few days or tomorrow or even tonight.

NEXT PART

[emperor-lover]

Hello could you please write a minhyun fanfic about him and Y/N being on we got married (and later on starts dating irl?) thank you (ps, i love your minhyun scenarios so much)

omg WGM :o hahaha ngl i was never a big fan of WGM even though two members of one of my favourite groups have been on it, but i tried my best! i’ll write anything fluffy for minhyun lmao Sorry about the wait!

A continuation of this will be up next which is from another anon’s request!! 

Hwang Minhyun WGM!AU 

ok so lets give you a bit of background to set the scene 

you’re an idol, but originally you were going to be an actress except you really liked dancing and singing so your company was like ‘why not both?’ (think female version of Ong)

You became a fixed MC on a music show last year so you’ve been able to meet a lot of people

Popularity-wise, you’re pretty well liked, you’ve never had any scandals or issues

Plus because you’re bi/multilingual so you’ve been able to further expand Hallyu internationally, and yknow everyone loves a bit of patriotism 

So this is why you were extremely uncertain about being on WGM

It’s a show that puts you in the spotlight

and kinda tries to brand you with this false image, and if you don’t fit that image the public tend to be like wtf is wrong with you

WGM could be a make or break for the virtual couples who participated on the show

You had heard from other celebrities who had been on WGM about how strange it was, like just the whole concept of a “virtual” relationship wasn’t something you’d ever been too keen on

So you were skeptical and it didnt help that your company hadn’t given you much warning about being on it

They just said to be prepared for the invitation over the next week or so

So when the red mailbox appeared outside your dorm along with a bunch of MBC camera staff you realised they hadn’t been kidding

You had read the letter outloud for the cameras;

“To my soon-to-be virtual wife, our first meeting place will be at the xxxxxx Building tomorrow. Before we meet, I’ll give you a big clue as to who I am, I wonder if you’ll be able to guess! I’m in an idol group, and I’ve debuted twice…I look forward to meeting you~

You read the letter again, absorbing all the information….

“EH? Tomorrow??” 

no wonder your manager had been awfully quiet when you had asked her about your schedule

Oh well, guess you gotta prepare for this virtual blind date

Tbh…now that you had accepted the fact that you had to go on this show, you were kinda excited

It’s literally so rare for you to ever get the chance to go on a proper date, even if this counted as a fake/virtual one

——next day—–

You hadn’t slept well the night before, in both fear and anticipation

Hopefully the person you were going to ‘marry’ would be nice

Because your partner was fully in charge of organising this first date, you had decided to prepare a gift for him

Which you found to be super difficult, seeing as you weren’t sure who they were but tbh you had narrowed it down to a couple of possibilities

Like in the pre-meet interview that morning they had asked you if you had any idea who the person could be and you had listed a few names of idols you knew had debuted twice, like mino, or sungwoon or minhyunnnn

but seeing as you knew he’s an idol you decided on little things you knew you found helpful being an idol yourself

You packed a neck pillow, a heat pack, and this really big woollen scarf you had knitted yourself (imagine it’s winter time pls)

Your manager drops you off outside the building and you hop out of the car in this big fluffy sweater and black jeans, completed bundled up and warm

The staff ushered you over to the elevator and you’re left awkwardly and nervously rambling to yourself as they press the buttons to every 2nd floor

The doors open to the second floor and a hotel staff pops their head in and gives you a bouquet of flowers with a note

“You’re here! Today’s the day we finally meet~”

You smiled to yourself, seems like this guy is a bit of a hopeless romantic

The doors to the fourth floor open and sitting on the ground is a little fox plushie doll

You pick it up and attached is another note that says,

“I’ve heard that I resemble a desert fox~”

You froze, no freaking way could it be….

On the sixth floor it was a jar of honey - “My voice is sweet like honey wahhh this is embarrassing >

Your eyes widened. There was no denying who it was now.

WGM had never done something like this before, usually people who went on the show had never previously met or had many interactions, but in your case it would be different

You had met Minhyun before, multiple times in fact

You had been good friends with Aron from NU’EST as well as other English speaking idols and had naturally gotten to know the other boys from NU’EST as well

And although you wouldn’t consider yourself best friends with Minhyun or anything, you had always been able to joke round with him

plus he’s a super cute and super nice guy that was always easy to talk to

Now that you think about it, it’s kinda even more terrifying now that you know who’s waiting for you and the fact you already know him as well??? and he doesnt have a clue who you are???? what if he’s disappointed??? like how awkward would that be, you’d actually die from embarrassment

Finally the doors to the 10th floor open and lo and behold Minhyun is standing there, with his back facing you

When he heard the door open he had immediately tensed up

He was nervous as hell too, poor thing

Like kinda kicking himself for being so cheesy with the whole elevator thing, but y’know, gotta make a strong first impression

He can hear your footsteps approach him and he fights the urge to turn round 

The staff signal to you to say something and you become a big stuttering mess, like what are you meant to say???

“uHHhhHH Minhyun, IT’S ME, Y/N”

And he whizzes round so fking fast with his eyes popping out of his head literally everyone is laughing so hard

And he’s bright red because in the pre-interview they had asked him who he’d choose if any idol was able to go on wgm as his partner, and he had said Y/N, and he just assumed that you wouldn’t be on this show and didnt have his hopes up

so the fact you’re actually standing in front of him about to become his virtual wife is so strange but surreal to both of you

so of course, the two of you hit it off right away, seeing as you already know each other

After migrating to a cafe, you thanked him for the gifts and the elevator surprises and gave him the present you prepared

and he loves it so much, and he puts on the scarf you made straight away and is super proud of it

and you kinda just catch up on life with him, and find out how he’s doing in Wanna One

and that night after the filming was over, he sent you a text telling you how he was happy that you were his partner

and you spent the whole night just messaging cute little shy texts back and forth

After a few more days of filming, the first episode was finally broadcasted

And you were anxiously sitting by the tv with your group members trying to gage their reactions

it was embarrassing to see yourself become such a blushing mess in front of Minhyun

It was embarrassing for your friends too though, because no one is used to seeing you all shy like this

Funnily enough, Minhyun was the same in his dorm, and all the W1 boys were teasing him relentlessly

like collectively cringing at the notes he had left for you, and commenting on everything he did

And after the episode finishes, you’re a bit anxious of what the viewers think of it all

but luckily it turns out lots of people tuned in and love it

It seems to be a realistic fantasy(?) of people’s to go from friends to lovers

so with each following episode, the public laps up all the cuteness the two of you just naturally exude

Like they love how both of you were supposedly motae solo (single since birth), and that for both of you this would be the first ‘proper’ relationship

And minhyun has always had Boyfriend goals vibe attached to him

and you were top notch wife material too

You guys become known as the “Royal” couple

every one is like “충성충성” (choongseongchoongseong) I pledge my loyalty to you

So the first time you guys had proper skinship was super natural but cheesy as well

It was a filming by the Han River and you hadn’t worn gloves and it was getting pretty chilly

You had been rubbing your hands together to warm them up and it hadn’t been particularly obvious but Minhyun just reaches over and gently clasps your hand in his and puts it in his pocket

literally at that part though, everyone watching it had squealed

even you had been like omg bf goals

And bit later on when you had moved into the honeymoon house, the two of you would often rest your heads on the other’s shoulder and read books together

One of the most heart pounding days had been the wedding day, because although you knew it wasn’t a legit thing, something about Minhyun wearing a tuxedo and standing there waiting for you to walk towards him had made you feel things

And clearly you had the same effect on him, because he was absolutely speechless when he saw you

That night before heading back to the dorm, it seemed that the something had changed between the two of you

The hug Minhyun had given you had been longer, and gentler, if that was even possible

and he’d brushed the hair away from your face and whispered a string of sweet nothings into your ear before giving you a cute little wave and scampering over to get into his manager’s van

and you weren’t too sure what to think of it, because it’s not like the two of you are properly dating or anything

although it definitely feels like it

You go on lots more dates every week and each one was full of memories

Like you’d gone to movies, but you’d actually fallen asleep and Minhyun had just giggled

“Minhyun, you should’ve woken me up!”

“But you looked cute! i think you drooled tho” 

And you’d gone tandem biking, and wandered round different museums, and you went to karaoke together, and Minhyun ended up serenading you with cute af songs

and there was a day that the two of you went shopping to look for gifts for each other, and you ended up getting matching phone charms

There was also the time where there was a special guest episode, where both of you had invited friends round and cooked dinner for them

And everything goes smoothly for the following couple of months, with your relationship only getting closer each day

Until one day a letter arrives, and it’s different from the others so both of you immediately know what it is 

A week before the final episode, you started to distance yourself from Minhyun

mainly because both of you have been so shy about your true feelings, despite talking lots and becoming closer, you still have no clue if minhyun actually considers you to be more than a friend

and because you knew it was coming to an end, you’d have to say goodbye anyways so you were trying to let go without having to have your feelings hurt more than they would be

it didn’t feel right though, and Minhyun could tell something was wrong 

so he had come up to you and put a hand on your arm just before the crew started filming the final episode to talk to you

“Y/N…are we…okay?”

You glanced up at him and you could see his eyes trying to decipher the expression on your face and as much as it pained for you to say it, you decided it would be the best to break ties now

“Yeah, why wouldn’t we be, we’re friends aren’t we?”

And after you had said that, Minhyun’s face had fallen

Like he was upset that you appeared so nonchalant that the ‘marriage’ would be over and you’d revert back to being just friends

He dropped his hand that was on your arm and nodded, his face hardening and he turned to walk away

A few steps though, and he stopped turning back, eyes meeting yours

“I know this was a virtual marriage, but I was always sincere every moment I spent with you. I just thought I’d tell you that before we started filiming.”

And he walked off towards his waiting room, and left you standing there not too sure what to do anymore

During the filming, you struggled not to cry as Minhyun’s hand held yours

The movie theatre dimmed and started playing all the memories you’d made together

it was making you so emotional, and the sad piano BGM playing did not help at all

so you couldn’t stop the tears from falling when the video cut to a solo shot of Minhyun sending you a video message

“…This marriage may be coming to an end, but I will always treasure all the times and memories we made together…”

Covering a hand over your mouth, you tried not to sob out loud but it ended up sounding like you were having a coughing fit 

Minhyun had been quite cold to you after the encounter earlier that day, and hadn’t been particularly affectionate at all, but when he looked over at you, his face went from expressionless to one of alarm when he noticed that your cheeks were stained with tears

he immediately reached over and gently dabbed the tears away with his sleeve and pulled you into his chest

“hey, hey, don’t cry Y/N, it’s alright, babe don’t cry, I’m here for you.”

and this only made you sniffle more

Minhyun’s hand was soothingly patting the back of your head and for a minute you both forgot about the cameras as he pulled back and gently pressed his lips to your forehead

and it was such a touching and emotional moment

until you hiccupped

and Minhyun broke out into laughter his own eyes shining back at you

and you couldn’t help but join in with him in the laughter

you left the set holding hands, still sad but not as emotional as before

and you realised that this would be the last chance for you to say something

“Minhyun?”

He glanced down at you his gaze softening at the sight of your puffy eyes

“This isn’t goodbye right? Just because we’re not on the show anymore doesn’t mean we can’t see each other right?”

Minhyun just kinda looks at you like you’re crazy

“Did you really think that I’d just go on this show with you, the girl that i actually truly like, just to never talk to you again now the show’s over?”

and you were like ?? blinking in confusion…because minhyun actually does like like you, and it’s not one sided like you assumed girl it was so obv tho

He kept talking, “I looked forward to the days when i’d get to see you to film, because spending time with you is like the most natural thing in the world to me. Look I even keep this photo we took in my wallet.”

He shows you a cute little photo of the two of you at the cafe you’d been to on the first date.

“So Y/N? Don’t worry, this won’t be goodbye, you can’t get rid of your virtual husband that easily,” he says shooting finger hearts and winks at you

So, legitimately dating Minhyun is obviously not as open and conspicuous as WGM, but it’s still super cute

and on your first anniversary the two of you go on a late night outing to the cafe where you had your first date

and you buy the same drinks you had on that day and just enjoy each others company, forever grateful that you have Minhyun in your life

I hit 100 followers the other day and I’m so so grateful, thank you to everyone who reads my random little writings, even though I’m definitely still lacking lots! I’m working on the current requests that were sent in, so please hold tight if you’re still waiting~ ❤️❤️

[request] to me, you’re like a dream

AUTHOR: ongniels (ali) TITLE: to me, you’re like a dream FANDOM: WANNA ONE/Produce 101 RATING: PG-13 PAIRING: Ong Seongwoo/Kang Daniel WORD COUNT: 3,8k WARNING: cursing SUMMARY:  However, he notices, after almost 6 months of being part of a program called Produce 101 and one week of being in its debuting group, that he is unable to conceal what he is feeling when it comes to Kang Daniel.

Seongwoo isn’t sure why but he has always been good at hiding his emotions. He guesses it’s a mixture of having taken a thousand acting lessons and him being emotionally stunted when it comes to anything else that’s not happiness.

However, he notices, after almost 6 months of being part of a program called Produce 101 and one week of being in its debuting group, that he is unable to conceal what he is feeling when it comes to Kang Daniel.

***

Every fiber of Seongwoo is trembling as he stands next the other top20 contestants. He tries his best to put up a poker face and if he goes by the fact, that he has done most of the comforting as one after another of the trainees become “WANNA ONE”, it’s working.

His fingers twitch as BoA announces Brand New’s Park Woojin as number sixth. He is happy for the younger boy, but he can’t help but feel a sense of panic go through his whole body.  Last week he had been 8th, so he knows that if he isn’t called upon next, his chances to actually debut in the group will be minimal.

Seconds later, Seongwoo feels Jonghyun, who is standing next to him, tense up so he reaches out for him then pats him comfortingly on the shoulder and sends him a warm smile, for a moment forgetting about his own nervousness.

His legs start to tremble too when BoA says how many votes the 5th place has gotten. There is no way on earth that it can be him. Seongwoo proceeds to bite his lips then, looking at anything but the stage, with all of the 11 couches, in front of him.

Suddenly, Daniel catches his eyes. The younger boy, although he should be facing forward, is looking at him with his trademark bunny smile. Surprisingly, Seongwoo relaxes immediately as he returns the look with a small smile of his own. Daniel nods at him once and then turns around again.

“Fantagio’s Ong Seongwoo!”

Immediately he is being hugged by the other trainees, a lot of “good job!”s and “I’m so proud!”s being said into his ears as he cannot believe what is actually happening. He pats all of their arms, mouth formed into a grin as he goes forward.

Even when the MNET staff urges him to go to the front, he smiles and laughs until he is at the front of the triangle-like platform.

He locks eyes with Daniel, who is still grinning at him and trying to make his way to congratulate him, and Seongwoo – he just can’t resist it - jumps into Daniel’s arms. The younger laughs in his ear and embraces him just as tightly as Seongwoo is hugging him. For a millisecond, Daniel buries his head in the crook of Seongwoo’s neck.

“You did so well, Ong Seongwoo!” he whispers, hot breath making a shiver run down the older’s spine.  

But Seongwoo doesn’t have time to dwell on it, so he goes forward and gives his speech, all while trembling and looking around, avoiding Daniel’s smiley face the best he can, because the Busan boy’s words still echo in his ear. Then, he hugs the rest of the members that have made it before he sits down in his seat.

“You did well, Ong Seongwoo!” Daniel’s voice repeats over and over in his head.

When he actually sits down, the world around him seems to fall apart.

He is so whipped for Kang Daniel.

***

He sighs into his pillow as he looks at his phone. Two in the morning.

He has been tossing around for at least three hours now, sometimes close to falling asleep and others just so damn awake. Seongwoo was expecting it, really, it had been like this for the past three days.

So he does what he did the other days too. Seongwoo checks to see if Minhyun and Jaehwan are sleeping before he quietly climbs out of the upper bunk bed and slips into the living room. There he face-plants into the couch and proceeds to kick in every possible direction, like a kid who is suffering from a tantrum.

This thing with Daniel had started so easily, why did he have to complicate everything?

They had been best friends ever since Daniel was re-evaluated and became an A-class member. Both of them had a similar sense of humour and thanks to little Woojin they became even closer. Skinship came easy – wrapping his hands around the other’s shoulder or wrist, Seongwoo sitting on Daniel’s lap whenever he got the chance, Daniel’s back hugs…  

Seongwoo doesn’t know where he jumped over the fine line between friendship and love and well, he really doesn’t want to know since he wouldn’t be able to change anything anyway.

He is head over heels for his band mate and will have to live with him for the next one and a half years. And the best thing of all, since the both of them are not even roommates anymore and have a killer schedule, he can’t even get his daily dose of Kang Daniel. Plus, Daniel seems to be doing so well without Seongwoo, it is starting to make him feel offended.

For good measure, Seongwoo kicks around once more before he goes back to his bed.

***

Just before falling asleep he thinks that the best thing he can do is enjoy their time together and move on when they both go back to their respective agencies.

***

The next day, Seongwoo is woken up at 6 a.m. by Minhyun, who laughs at his morning hair and ushers him to the bathroom to wash up. He obliges and washes up quickly to stop Guanlin and Jihoon’s whining of them wanting to shower together.

When he enters the kitchen, he is confronted with Jisung sitting on Daniel’s lap as both of them eat and laugh at Woojin’s half-asleep state. He swallows his jealousy and immediately puts on a bright smile as he joins them.

After a while, when Seongwoo is cleaning up after the group, Daniel approaches him with a worried smile.

“Seongwoo, have you been sleeping well?” he asks as he back hugs the older boy.

He basks in the glory of Daniel touching him for the first time in a while, even leaning into his warmth, for a few seconds before he snaps himself out of it and makes a seemingly unfazed smile appear on his mouth.

“Yep, slept very well,” Seongwoo answers, stepping out of Daniel’s embrace with an uncomfortable laugh.  “I am just a bit worn out because of the tight schedule.”

Daniel frowns at him but doesn’t get the chance to ask any more questions because Jinyoung is already dragging him away to play one round of whatever X-box game it is today before they have to head out in half an hour. Seongwoo sighs, relieved because he knows that Daniel actuallly pays attention to him and knows that something is not alright but also annoyed because he didn't get the chance to explain himself since the other was dragged away.

Daniel seems to be everyone’s go-to person when they want to play or cuddle.

***

The only thing Seongwoo ever looks forward to when he knows that they have a schedule is to sit next to Daniel in the car. It gives him a sense of familiarity that he rarely gets these days – and he has to admit that the Busan boy is a very nice pillows.

It just sucks that even that seems to not be working out because when he enters the car to sit in his usual place, Daehwi is already sitting there. His head is snuggly placed in the crook of Daniel’s neck as the older one plays around with his phone. Seongwoo really just wants to smash his head against the nearest surface available.

But he can’t do that without seeming like an absolute weirdo, so he settles for stomping towards Jaehwan, who looks at him confused.

“Don’t ask!” he warns.

He sits down next to him, then manhandles him into a position that makes it easy to cuddle and snuggles closer.

“What-?”he starts but is interrupted by Seongwoo.

“If you complain, I’m sending Sewoon the video of you sobbing miserably in your sleep because you missed him so much,” Seongwoo looks up at Jaehwan with his cutest facial expression and blinks repeatedly.

“Fuck you,” Jaehwan sighs and goes back to his phone.

***

It becomes a tradition then. What Seongwoo means is that the being replaced for things he usually does with Daniel becomes a tradition since it seems to be happening almost every single day.

First of all, instead of having their usual walks through the city in the middle of the night together, Daniel now does them with Jinyoung. Sitting in the car together is impossible thanks to the maknae line taking turns as to who can sit with Daniel. They don’t even have their usual heart-to-hearts or late night snacking because they aren’t roommates anymore.

It is not difficult to see that Seongwoo is slowly going nuts. It doesn’t help that every night he can’t fall asleep because he is thinking about Daniel all the time.

***

Since Daniel seems to be busy with everyone else, Seongwoo is now used to hang out with Jaehwan every free minute they have. It’s not like he doesn’t want to – Jaehwan is a really good guy, he may have a psychopathic laugh and a somewhat strange humour, but he is very nice and easy to open up to, even if he is just as emotionally stunted as Seongwoo.

“So, how are you holding up my little jealousy bag?” Jaehwan snickers at him as he settles down next to him.

“Ha ha,” Seongwoo answers ironically. “I’m doing perfectly fine and I am not jealous.”

“Oh? Really? That’s why you have been sulking for three days straight right?” Jaehwan laughs, offering him some of his chips. “It’s funny how none of the other members have noticed yet, really.”

“Can you please shut up? It’s like 8 a.m. which means it is too early to be teasing me,” Seongwoo smiles sarcastically.

Jaehwan just mocks him before he switches the topic to something more fun, like their endless schedule today and how he thinks that almost all of them seem to be gay.

***

It’s not until a week after that conversation with Jaehwan that Seongwoo has enough.

Earlier that day, Daniel had asked him if he wanted to take a walk with him that night since their schedule would start a few hours later than normal the next day. Seongwoo had immediately said yes, happy to finally get some real quality time with the younger boy.

Of fucking course, nothing works as planned though.

Seongwoo knocks on the door of Daniel, Jisung and Sungwoon’s room, ready to head out – he had taken almost an hour to decide on an outfit that would make him look decent and was literally buzzing.

“Are you ready?” he asks as he opens the door.

The answer to that question is immediately responded by Daniel’s teeth gritting and Jisung sleep talking. Both of them are snuggled up together on Daniel’s bed, Jisung’s face resting on Daniel’s chest as the younger boy had his hands wrapped around Jisung’s waist.

Seongwoo turns around, shuts the door behind himself and heads to his room silently.

Fuck Daniel, if he isn’t going to be spending his time with Seongwoo anyway, the older can just avoid him and get over his crush instead of enjoying the time they have left together before he inevitably has to move on.

***

“Seongwoo, Daniel is looking for you,” Minhyun says as he wakes him up. “Also, get up, we’ve got to go in a few minutes.”

“I’m coming,” Seongwoo yawns. “Tell Daniel I don’t have time for him right now.”

Minhyun just shrugs before going out of the room.

***

Seongwoo finds out that it is pretty damn easy to avoid Daniel if he wants to, what with them having other nine group members who mostly like to steal either one of their attention. He also feels relieved because since he doesn’t see Daniel much, he also doesn’t get moody or jealous as often.

(If he’s honest, he doesn’t get that jealous anymore, but he still gets that disappointed, weird feeling whenever he sees Daniel hugging and cuddling with the other members.)

***

“Seongwoo, are you avoiding Daniel?” Jihoon whispers into his ear, a few days later while they sit together in the car. “I haven’t seen the two of you interact in a few days, which is a pretty long time considering you used to be stuck to each other 24/7.”

Seongwoo just laughs him off, distracting him by playing his personal pillow and asking him how he feels now that he is finally rooming together with Guanlin.

***

That same day Seongwoo is awake at 2 a.m. once again. Like always, he gets up quietly and heads to the living room, face planting into the couch. This time though he doesn’t kick around, too utterly exhausted from their schedules and not being able to stop thinking about Daniel.

“What are you doing?” he hears a voice ask out of the blue.

Seongwoo startles but doesn’t respond, knowing all too well who that voice belongs to.

“I didn’t think our first conversation in what feels like years would be happening in the middle of the night,” Daniel chuckles and sits down at Seongwoo’s feet. “Seems like I haven’t got to see you in ages.”

“I know right?” Seongwoo replies.

He sits up, tucking his legs close to his body and embracing them tightly. Seongwoo feels awkward, out of place. Feels like if he would open his mouth right now, he would spill all he has been feeling this past months.

“Sorry for what happened with the walk between,” Daniel suddenly exclaims. “Jisung wasn’t feeling well, so I just kind of… ended up comforting him and fell asleep.”

The older boy just nods and smiles at him, even adds a “no problem, dude” into the mix. He really just wants to flee back into his room and ignore that this interaction has ever happened.

“Since when are you so quiet?” The Busan boy chuckles. “Is it because it’s so late?”

“Yeah, probably,” Seongwoo answers, using this as his chance to stand up and walk nearer to his room. “Like you said, it’s late so I should head back to –“

He doesn’t get to finish his sentence because Daniel takes a hold of his wrist and tucks Seongwoo towards him so that the older boy lands in his lap. Seongwoo is unable to suppress a surprised “oh” as he lands.

“I missed you,” Daniel suddenly admits.

Daniel is looking at Seongwoo with this weird, unreadable face that makes him feel like he is unable to turn away from him. That’s how they stare at each other for a while. Seongwoo searching God knows what in Daniel’s eyes as the other just lets him.

“I think I’m in love with you,” Seongwoo blurts out.

The way Daniel looks at him doesn’t really change, the younger one just has a smile on his face now. Seongwoo decides that if he already fucked it up, he might as well fuck it up all the way.

“Not being able to talk to you because you’re so busy with the other members is driving me crazy beyond believe and even when I decide to avoid you, you come out of nowhere and make me feel all weird, which is so not alright,” Seongwoo continues, finally feeling much better. “Seriously, why do you have to be so touchy with everyone? It’s making me jealous.”

“Me? Touchy?” Daniel complains playfully as he puts his hands on the older boy’s hips. “You’re the touchy one! You are the one that always hangs out and cuddles with Jaehwan! Plus, you also apparently became Park Jihoon’s personal pillow! Did you think you were the only one jealous?”

Seongwoo sputters at that because why the fuck would Daniel be jealous when he is the one who never has time? That’s exactly what he says as he repositions himself so that both of his legs are on each side of Daniel’s.

“It’s not my fault that the kids love me so much!” Daniel argues back.

“You could still just tell them to go away nicely and spend time with me, but whatever,” Seongwoo sulks.

And he doesn’t know why he is acting like this; really, just a few days ago he had decided to avoid Daniel. He should be mad or should keep ignoring him, not acting like a sullen 4-year-old kid.  

The younger boy doesn’t respond. Instead he tightens his grip around Seongwoo’s waist and pulls the older one forward so that he is basically sprawled all over Daniel’s chest. He is dumbfounded to say the least, but he doesn’t have it in him to complain, mostly because he is really enjoying this.

He goes lax in Daniel’s arms. His face immediately finds the crook of Daniel’s neck and buries itself into it.

“Before we get distracted by fighting over who is more jealous of whom again,” Daniel starts, his mouth right on Seongwoo’s left ear. “I’m so freaking in love with you, too.”

Seongwoo doesn’t know how to reply to that so he just stays where he is. Mind going almost a hundred miles a second, but Daniel is quick to stop him from thinking. The Busan boy cups Seongwoo’s face in his hand, guides it so that it is only inches apart from his and smiles that toothy smile of his.

“What? No big reaction? Are you still avoiding me?” Daniel asks, directly looking at Seongwoo now.

Seongwoo has never been good with his words when it comes to serious talks or confessions, so he doesn’t respond with words but with action.

Said action is to lean in so that he is kissing Daniel. At first the kiss is hesitant; none of the two of them knowing what to do, but like always, Daniel is the first to take the lead and kiss back. They softly press their lips against each other, placing chaste kisses on each other, not only on the lips but also on their cheeks and foreheads.

***

The next day, Seongwoo wakes up in Daniel’s embrace.

He thanks all of his lucky stars for what happened the night before, he had never in a million years thought that Daniel would like him back, even less that they’d ever get together  if he even did.

Seongwoo kisses Daniel’s lips softly, making the other stir and blink his eyes open. Almost immediately after, his bunny smile makes an appearance. His right hand cups Seongwoo’s face ere he kisses him back softly.

“I love you,” Daniel whispers.

“Same,” Seongwoo laughs, his nose caressing Daniel’s. “But if you ever make me jealous again, I will cut your balls off.”

“Oh, I am so scared of you,” Daniel mocks him playfully. “But don’t worry, I’ll only look at you from now on.”

Seongwoo hears a gagging sounds from behind them, but he ignores them and instead kisses Daniel again.
