Sweet Nothings from your Lips

Lee Jihoon x gn!reader

Sweet Nothings: A phrase meaning words of affection exchanged between lovers.

You know you truly love someone when every single word that comes out of their mouth is a sweet nothing to you.

A/N: another drabble for my carat readers! This is just pure fluff and hopefully you all enjoy it as much as I did writing it. Thank you and happy reading caratdeuls! 🫶

~Main Masterlist~

It was a quiet day. No emails, no phone calls, nothing. But even then, Jihoon was still ever the busy bee. He's the type of person that when he starts something, he will be too focused on perfecting it to notice anything else. This also includes forgetting to eat, sleep, and occasionally, take a bath. So it wasn't a shock for you when he didn't immediately reply to your texts in an attempt to check up on him, only finding him in his studio, hunched over his desk, working.

You heard about this new project of his about three days ago when he took you out on a coffee date. It was something about a movie's official soundtrack that he was paid to produce. He usually tells you about the projects he works on at the moment in order to let you know what to expect of him in the next few days. He doesn't want any arguments between the two of you to stem from his workaholic tendencies so he tries to be transparent to you as much as he possibly can. And because of this, it only made you love him even more.

You slowly entered the room as quietly as possible, hugging the plastic containing your take out food, trying not to disturb him. Closing the door to his studio, you placed the food on the small table near the sofa. You then slowly walked to where Jihoon is. Noticing how focused he was on whatever he was working on, you slowly wrapped your arms around him from behind as to not startle him.

"Hi love." You said softly, kissing him on the cheek. You felt him relax under you, all of the stress and tension in his body melting away from your touch. He turned his head to look at you before saying hi as well.

"What are you doing here?" Jihoon asked, still admiring you from the side.

"I just wanted to see you."

"Don't you have anything else to do that's more important?"

"Nothing is more important to me than being with you, Jihoon."

He would've fallen off his chair if you weren't hugging him at the moment. Even after 2 years of being in a relationship with you, he still can't believe how he got to be with someone as amazing as you. You complimented him in so many ways that he wasn't even sure if you were a real human being.

You weren't really paying attention when you said that to him. It was more of an "isn't it obvious" kind of statement for you so you didn't think much of it. It was only a few minutes after you didn't hear any reply from Jihoon that you stopped trying to comprehend what he was doing on his computer and focused on him. What you didn't expect to see was him looking at you as if you were the reason why this whole world began in the first place. You blushed as you looked away, trying to distract yourself from how intense his gaze on you was. You cleared your throat for a bit which then snapped Jihoon from his dazed state.

"So I know you haven't eaten anything since our breakfast together and that's why I brought you your favorite." It was only then that he noticed the smell of food wafting from the plastic on his table by the sofa. He watched as you unlatched from him and walked towards it, preparing the food you brought on the table.

"Come on, Jimmy. You need to eat." He smiled at the nickname as he took off his headphones and stood up from his chair. Jimmy was a nickname you gave him after learning about his work. In your own words, he was "such a genius that he should be named Jimmy Neutron instead. And look at that! You both have the same first syllable!".

He took the chopsticks and bowl of rice from your outstretched hands before sitting down right beside you on the sofa. You then started talking about your day as he listened attentively while eating. You were always in this small bubble of yours whenever you were talking enthusiastically about something. So each time you talk, Jihoon will always give you his undivided attention. And as someone that has been told before how much of a bother you were for being so talkative, his efforts didn't go unnoticed at all.

Taglist: @moonwonuu @belladaises

And so the night went on like that. You, munching your food while talking his ear out and him, listening to your voice like it was the best melody he has ever heard.

Hi!! so after reading the teaser thing for spanko harry i had no choice but to subscribe to ur patreon (im very happy i did😁) and just wanted to say that u have such a special gift for knitting words together and creating something so pleasing to the eyes like I’ve never read anything that’s even close to the beauty of ur writing style

Cause to me there’s nothing better than reading words that stick together like honey and English isn’t my first language but i read quite a lot in English cause i just enjoy it sm especially in romance books and fics and I’ve learned so many new words from ur stories and sometimes i have to read some of ur sentences a few times to fully understand what u mean but like in a good way cause it’s not like lazy entertainment yk it’s like a challenge to my brain as well (which i love cause sometimes it gets tiring to read similar sentences over and over again)

And it’s honestly so fascinating how ur able to describe something so simple in such a unique and fresh way and im constantly in awe of ur mind!! and also im so so excited for part 3 of spanko harry cause the tension and chemistry between them was insane like i felt like i was reading something filthy while they were just talking and i was on the edge of my seat the entire time!! and the concept is so so good im actually going feral over him and the way u were describing his hands and the fact that she was just casually binging all of his videos and he must’ve heard her when it connected to the bluetooth😵‍💫😵‍💫

and also trivia harry was SO cute like the way he just made her watch baby monkeys while he finished his shift omg i am unwell and yn’s nervous rambling was soooo adorable too but okayy this is so long but just wanted to say that i love ur brain and appreciate the dedication u put into ur stories so so much and going crazy feral insane over spanko and trivia harry literally in love w them already <33

HELLO this is so unbelievably sweet 😭 Thank you so much for taking the time to send this in (because my favorite thing ever is in-depth feedback to my silly little fics and I’m glad that so many details stuck out to you!!). And thank you so much for subscribing :’) you guys supporting me through patreon literally grants me the opportunity to create more content because I’m more financially stable and therefore have more time to work on it, and it really does mean SO MUCH, I can’t even put it into words.

AND ALSO, this is so immensely flattering! I think, genuinely, my favorite compliment to receive is regarding my writing style because I know some people can find it tedious or difficult, etc, but it’s so much fun for me to become immersed in my own writing AS I write and use loads of metaphors and stuff so this is really, really sweet. Thank you 🥹 I hope you’re enjoying what I’ve got up on patreon right now, and I hope you enjoy what I’m planning to put up in the near future 🫶

p.s. this is all over the place, i’m so sorry and i’m so sorry for constantly saying “like” I can’t help it

hey i’m just venting bc I have no real friend lmaoooo but today at work, (i work at an assisted living place), my mangers and head people had an meeting with our residents and my manager told me that they said the residents love me and they are going to miss me when I go back to college and just positive things stuff like that.

I was in shock tbh and felt so idk happy, proud idk bc i’ve only been working there since like june 10th so i’m just happy, i’m making them happy ig.

then we have an head manager guy (idk his actual title) but he’s always given me compliments on my work ethic and stuff. he’s super nice and kind as well.

but anyways I just wanted to get that out bc this is like the first time I feel like i’ve done something good in my life. I started tearing up actually bc the residents were genuinely meaning they appreciate me, love me, and love seeing me come in.

like some residents will say “theirs our favorite girl”, “pretty girl”, “we missed you yesterday”, “I appreciate your service”, “thank you for all that you do” and idk if i’ll keep this job forever, I mean I know I won’t bc I need to move on to bigger and better things but stuff like this makes me so idk guilty that i’ll have to leave them soon even tho half won’t even remember me

the whole building is just super nice and I can’t handle all the compliments, I feel almost bad for receiving them especially since i’m pretty new.

like the amount of praise I got today was just so overwhelming and basically it made me feel proud myself but also guilty for some reason

i’m sorry if this doesn’t make any sense I just needed to tell someone

thanks for reading or not reading, which is completely fine I just needed to again get that out lmaoo💀

Don’t even worry about saying “like” too many times because I overuse it all the time😭

First off that’s great that in such a short time they already like you that much, that’s huge! It sounds like you do a great job and they really appreciate you for everything you do.

Secondly, I wouldn’t feel guilty about eventually leaving. They would want you to move on to bigger things and do good for yourself! Everyone leaves a job eventually, that’s just a part of life. Think about the positive impact you’d be leaving instead of the guilt of leaving, think about all the good you did and all the smiles you caused. Sometimes that’s enough for a person to get through a rough day, they’ll remember you and your bright personality and even for just a split second it’ll make them feel better.

Sometimes they need a new person to come in and give them a new perspective. I think someone who is obviously so kind and good at their job can make any job easier to get through and you’re that person despite how long you’ve been there. I don’t think half of them will just forget despite how hard that is to believe. I think with how much they like you already, you’ll forever leave them with a profound effect.

Thirdly, I totally get the guilt. It’s hard to think that someone who’s only been there for a short period of time deserves those kinds of compliments compared to someone that’s been working there for years. But it’s also okay to be like “you know what, I work hard and do a damn good job. I deserve to be told that and appreciated from my co workers” because you do! You deserve to have people tell you they’re proud of you, you deserve to be praised for working hard, you deserve to have those sweet words said to you when you walk in for work. Obviously I can’t stop you from feeling guilty because you know…thoughts….but I can say that they wouldn’t praise you that way and talk to other people about you in such a positive light if you didn’t deserve it babe! You’re going to do such good things in life and i’m proud of you for everything you’ve done to get to where you are🫶🏻🫶🏻

If you do a Halloween story this year, can you please please please do it with Billy Russo?? I’m actually genuinely pleading with you. I’ve read and read all of your Billy content countless times, and they’ve easily taken permanent residence in a very precious place in my heart, mind, body, and soul. I love them so, so much that no mere words can never truly convey the strong emotions I feel toward your work. Your Billy stories are everything to me. They’ve gotten me through my darkest times and never failed to bring genuine smiles to my face as well as utter happiness and blissfulness into my life. There’s been so many times where I felt unloved, unwanted, lost, and like I was sinking in a dark abyss that I could never escape from. But then I read your Billy work and I know what it’s like to feel again. I connect with your writing and feel what the Reader feels. I feel that love your Billy feels toward her. You bring that light right back into my eyes, and for that I’ll always be grateful for you — and I’m deeply sorry it’s taken me this long to tell you this and thank you for this.

I always feel a wave of excitement and joy when I read your work. It’s addicting and exhilarating and fills with me so much love every time. Honestly, you never cease to amaze me with your sense of creativity and masterful way of writing. And I’ve been craving for more of your Billy content and been wanting to ask for more, but never wanted to overstep or push you or come off as greedy because I do deeply appreciate the work you have blessed us with so far. But then I saw your post about possibly writing another Halloween Billy story and when I tell you I squealed and nearly dropped to the floor… oof. I really hope you do this and just know that there is definitely supporters of yours here who would love it ♥️🙏🏻

Wishing you the most amazing day / night!

So this is an absolutely wonderful message and I have read it multiple times. Tumblr upping the limit on asks was the best thing ever lol. Okay! So, time to respond.

I know that I will write for Billy if I do another Halloween fic. It continues my pattern so that's always nice. At this point I am just trying to figure out a plot and I'll make myself work on it because people have come out of the woodwork to tell me how much my stuff means to them and even if it's the only thing I write this year, I wanna do it.

I'm touched that my stories have gotten you through tough times. That honestly means so much to me. My goal has always been to reach just one person, any person, with anything that I do. If I can connect with someone through my writing, that makes it all worth it to me.

I've never considered myself a very good writer, just perhaps a prolific screw up. Your compliments have made me feel better than I've felt in a very long time about it. I don't mind people asking for more as long as they are polite (which everyone basically has been, I'm very lucky) because I want to write. I got burned out from churning out fic after fic after fic to the point where I felt like I was just some sort machine instead of a person. It was heart breaking and I really really hope this is the beginning of me moving back to feeling...at peace with my writing again.

So, yes, if I write a Halloween fic it will definitely be for Billy Russo. Now I just gotta buckle down on my scary movies/stories so that I can find a plot that resonates with me and with the character!

Thank you so much Kristina. You are a very kind soul and I hope that you are having a wonderful wonderful day/night/life!
