ONF and their high maintenance S/O (mostly about makeups and manicures)

dislcaimer : I dont support the mentality of aegyoing/manipulating/sabotaging your partner to buy you stuffs. Gifts are gifts but its not their are not full responsibility. It is also not a duty/obligation for your partner to recognize delicate makeup product when they can't and buy you your makeup product as well.

What i am saying even though here is that bf gifting lipsticks it does not mean guys should do it and also does not mean that if your own bf could not do it then they dont love you. ok let go to hcs.

Hyojin

I think he will ask you to drop the heavy makeup after you two are comfortable with each other. To him it was not your makeup that impressed him to date you.

He is the type that "I don't get make up but ok you look good" type of person, I mean have you watched how he get ready to go out in the Berlin trip? He just do basic stuffs not even a delicate touch XD

I think because he has a sister back at home? But if you think he will at least know a bit of stuffs because he has a sister then you are wrong lol

But he does understand if you wanna doll up a bit. I think he personally appreciates those times when he caught himself felt that you are dazzling.

I think its cute that maybe you only do basic light make up when going out with him but then when you join him with his friends, you wanna look good so you will put on proper make up (not over heavy ones). But Hyojin be like , " oh, come on... Its just my friends XD"

He is the type that waits for you, unless you have really bad time management, he will come over to rush you. "Hey hey hey, we are gonna be late"

Does not interested at make up or beauty stuffs so he would always questions with curiosity when he saw stuffs like.. " Glue? for what? Eyelashes? Won't it be dangerous?" (Especially you are the type that watches make up vids)

Bonus, you are in charge of his skin care, most of the time.

another bonus, the type that laughs at you if you are the type that opens your mouth when you are drawing eyeline

Changyoon

Very similar to Hyojin so I will skip make up and focus on the nail polish

(Also expanding the Changyoon who loves your hand hcs)

He knows of nail polish and the basic stuffs like base, polish and top, but did not pay full attention on manicure and pedicure stuffs

So when the first time you brought out mini UV light to cure your nails, he goes " Woah they got stuffs like that? why no one told me? I spend minutes blowing at my nails to dry during BB era"

Bonus if you work in nail salon or pick up manicure as hobby, i think you might share a bit of design you found online and ask him his opinions. His will comment a bit.

Also you might grasp his hands and try out newly thought designs on his hands

Bonus if he blushes and burst into laughter until you jokingly snap at him, "Ya, its not the first time I do design test out using your hands? Why are you beet red?"

To go deep into his mentality, he does not hate make up, he gets it. But for manicure he acknowledges it as art expression of oneself as well.

I think he prefer short nail manicure, once you get a longer sharper designs and you cant do your task like how you did normally, Changyoon nags you.

Also Changyoon thoughts on fake nail stickers, "Super convenient!"

He would love to try do your manicures if he got the chance. Not just painting plain color, he might also try following designs that your show him.

Seungjun

He is a delicate boy hahahah (watch leaders Berlin trip then you will get it)

Not the type that can recognize different shades of lipstick or foundation, but he still have basic knowledge. I do see is the type that will keep in mind what color you uses and will present you your favorite lipstick color. Or even randomly choose 1 color that he thinks it might look good on you.

I think you two will stand side by side in front of mirror and do make up and help each other check a bit. Especially eye shadow color, and hairstyles (if it is outdoor date day)

The type that notices changes on you but will tease you by keep saying the wrong answers. "Hey you look different? Is it the eyeshadow? Or was it a new earring? eh I was wrong?*devilsh smile"

He has two sisters so he is used and knows that girls and high maintenance people wears makeup. BB cream at least.

Fascinated when he first time sees you do your own manicure, he saw Changyoon paint nails during BB era, but if it is his first time seeing you painting quite complicated nail design from scratch, he goes "OOOOOOH so thats is how it done? 0A0"

I think he might introduce his sisters to you if you are a makeup artist or if you work at nail salon

Bonus if you are the type that do really minimum skin care, because of his (idk if i am using the right word) eagerness of doing facial mask, you might pick that up too lol

Both of you having facial mask on and chilling on the couch watching TV

another bonus, you two bickering because either one of you made the other one laugh too much making the mask cracked if it is dried up cream type.

Jaeyoung

He is like a combination of Hyojin and Seungjun?

Not sure on his skin care stuff but he will do basic stuff and I think he focus on stylizing his hair more? (but unlike Seungjun, Jaeyoung is more on styling using wax and hairspray)

the type who cant tell difference in lipstick shade lol

He thinks light makeup with less procedure/product look good on you. Especially if you are the one who is super insecure and wakes up super early to do heavy but natural looking makeup before work

Owh special mention, natural shade/nude shade themed makeup is his favourite

He has high respect on people who are high maintenance, but if you are too over enthusiastic he will tell you to slow down and go light heart on it, "Its to boost confidence/feel good about yourself right? Its not to impress others by overdoing it right?"

If you are a tiktok-er. I think you might ask Jaeyoung to do the my boyfriend did my make up challenge (To add, you cant trust Hyojin and Seungjun on this cos high chance if their prank mode kick in, rip. Changyoon will do it tho but you need to persuade him. Jaeyoung and Minkyun are the easiest to ask)

If sometimes Jaeyoung caught seeing you watching manicure design vids or you happened to try out a new manicure design from tutorial you saw online, he will sit beside, try hard to not disturb you. But while watching he will goes "Uwa, Shingi hada/ this is intriguing/amazing." (Try watch Mini game heaven season 2 0316, when he is the one holding the word board, the face he make as he is watching the leaders appeared in my head when writing this lol)

bonus, if you are doing really intricate work like placing a small sticker or draw a small design or sticking a small trinket? on your nails, Jaeyoung will also focus with you by holding his breath as he watches you doing your tasks

Minkyun

You trusted this boy to do BF do my makeup challenge and you regret it soon after, but the view results are amazing lol

but i think their S/O might lowkey get trauma lol and always decline Minkyun offer to help do makeup hahah

But again, when he do try to do it properly, he is ok

bonus, you two had to get another mirror because Minkyun is standing in front yours to check himself out every time he styles his hair a single bit, and it delays your pace of doing your make up.

Appreciate effort of you wanna look good, also he is the type who sits behind S/O while waiting them to finish up makeup (others will wait outside, But Minkyun is the type I want see whole process of how their S/O "transform")

Also the one who will sit beside you as you do your own manicure, or, the bf who will sit beside their S/O at nail salon watching the whole process.

But his hands are busy as he is also curious, so he will reach out to check the nail polish bottle or even the UV cure machine

So, he is also the type that will follow you into Sephora or makeup selling shops (is not that the others wont follow, but I want to highlight specifically for Minkyun). Hands busy, checking out stuffs.

Unlike Seungjun, the type that really cant tell if you change new lipstick or switched new eyeshadow.

BUT I THINK THIS PERSON, HE WILL SUDDENLY DROP A NEON EYESHAOW OUT OF BLUE IN FRONT OF YOU WHEN YOU ARE PAYING. You are gonna fluster if you are not the type who do daring colors. Minkyun only giggles and say " You wont know if you don't like it if you try?"

the funny bit, its not even him paying when he wants you to try lol

He is more of skincare type person. Similar to Seungjun, both of you cuddling with sheet masks on.

Yuto

The one who sticks to basic stuffs, skincare mostly

Also the type who will try to do makeup challenge diligently, asking you how should he do it rather than making a mess on your face.

The type that gives you thumbs up and affirming nods when you ask him how do you look.

He won't comment too much or nags/persuade you to stop doing heavy makeup eventually because he respects effort and confidence boost behind your makeup/high maintenance mentality

But he is flustered when you suddenly did a "I did a instagram summer gal makeup and show my bf" (for example) as it was way different and you look different. The moment you suggest to make this makeup theme as your usual, YUTO PANICKED, "Stop, stop, Mon sori yo? / What did you just say?"

IF you are office worker, he will nag at you if you are thinking straight to wear that makeup to office lol

The type that just quietly follows behind you when you are doing your shopping tour at Sephora or makeup shop.

But he will stop you if he sees your eyes gleaming as you stand at lipsticks corner lol (If you are the type who loves to collect and have too much lipsticks)

Occasionally surprise you with your fave lipstick color as well. Especially on early days of the relationship, you think he is the type that does not care. But turns out he is observant (because it is you so he is observant at your favorite stuffs)

Owh... i think he will be the perfume sensitive type person? He will mention what type of fragrance that he think you will go along well with.

Also I think the type who will recognizes if you changed perfume. Also the type who recognizes if you used his.

He might ask you to try on a sample and then you two might get a couple lover perfume/fragrance.

A/n : finally T^T this draft is in draft for like what... 6 months??? T^T

another love song

mk x reader

word count: ~ 2080 warnings: references to alcohol a/n: university!au; another ‘trying to get back into the feel of writing’ fic so... idk ?? tbh it’s more of a fic treatment but here’s what i’m posting anyway

Minkyun has gotten inspiration for his songs from you before. This one is different.

You’re nearly always the first person to place money into Minkyun’s open guitar case when he’s busking. 

More often than not, he tries to return your money once he’s packed up for the afternoon - but you refuse, and tell him he earned it. Then he usually spends more on you than you gave by buying you bubble tea or coffee before the two of you trek back to campus.

You’re not sure what you’d do with your Saturday afternoons if not for him.

You’d met Minkyun in a literature class your first year of university. At first it had been easy to write him off as a high school class clown having some difficulty adjusting to university expectations. Except that sometimes, when your professor would really dig into the themes of a text, he’d have something to share that would stick with you. A thought - sometimes chaotically explained - that would rumble around in your brain for a week, even. Eventually, you decided a proper introduction was in order. A fatal mistake, if you’d hoped to keep up some aloof, studious front. He had a way of warming others up, it turned out. You discovered he was friends with a number of people with unfriendly faces who somehow transformed into lighthearted, open books in Minkyun’s presence.  

You feel a little lighter around him, too. 

And on the days you don’t, he invites you to unburden. 

It became a common tableau: you sprawled out, exasperated, on the beanbag chair in his dorm room, ranting about anything that bothered you while he lay on his bed, half-propped up against the wall and strumming occasional notes on his guitar. A last complaint and a final chord, and then Minkyun would be on his feet with an idea of what the two of you should do to shake it out of your system for once and for all. Those plans only sometimes included just enough beer that the both of you were giddy and ready to laugh at anything. 

If Minkyun had to name one good reason to get drunk with you, it was this: it was the only time you’d sing. The very first time you let yourself break into song in front of him had been at a bar. It had been difficult to make out your voice over the speakers, but Minkyun heard. Maybe more important, though, was the way you swayed your shoulders and rocked into each syllable. 

He would tease sometimes that you ought to join him when he busked. He might make more with you joining in. 

“Ah, but then you’d have to split it with me, too,” you’d reply. You assumed, at least, that he must be kidding. 

It was spring the first time Minkyun asked you to listen to something original he’d composed. There was something personal about it that had never occurred to you when listening to a song before. For all the times you had watched him play, it was like looking at him from a new angle. Just as his commentary used to linger on your mind, his songs began to do the same.

 And in the winter of your second year, he asked if it’d be okay to use some of your own rants as inspiration in songs. 

“What?” you asked. 

“Just - the way you talk about the guys you’re getting over, and stuff like that. It could make for good lyrics.” 

“You’re going to quote me?”

“Well,” he lingered on the syllable, then broke into a dimpled smile. “No. But I don’t wanna take inspiration without telling you!”

So it happened that when he performed songs of his own, you sometimes began to recognize bits of your own infatuations and fallings outs weaved into his lyrics. The way he framed it, it usually made it easier to get over whoever had been behind the heartbreak. 

Minkyun isn’t busking today. The drizzle is enough that it wouldn’t be worth it. All the same, he spent the better part of the morning sending you messages asking you to come over. 

When you finally cave, you put on a front of unhappiness at the door, shaking out your umbrella before passing it over to his extended hand.

“I brought some stuff for my class so I can try to get work done like I’d planned,” you told him. 

He pouted for dramatic flair. “So you’re really just gonna act like you’re at your room at mine?”

“That’s what we agreed to! I told you I wanna get this reading done so I can just be hungover tomorrow without having to worry about Monday’s lecture.” 

“Damn, and people try to frame university drinkers as irresponsible.” 

“What can I say? I’m flawless,” you comment dryly as you pass into his room. 

“So you’re still going out even if the rain keeps up?” Minkyun asks. He settles into his usual spot near the foot of his mattress. You rummage through your bag for a textbook and your printed copy of the syllabus before finding a spot somewhere closer to the pillow. 

“Mm,” you affirm, “I think I’m officially entirely over Seungcheol, so it’ll be good for me to go out.” 

“Ahhh.” There’s something guttural and mischievous in the way he makes the sound. It’d be fair to expect some ribbing comment on how transparent you could be with these things. No such remark comes. 

It’s some time later, when you’re nearly done with your assigned reading, that Minkyun announces that he finished a new song recently. 

“Like one of your own?” you ask. 

He nods, and adds how he’d been thinking of playing it out this weekend if it hadn’t been for the poor turn in weather. 

You exaggerate a gasp. “You were going to share a song with a crowd before sharing it just with me?” There’s no real offence. It’s only a pattern that you’d noticed. Sometimes he’d say it felt needed, if only because he based part of the lyrics’ premise on your own experiences instead of his own. 

“I know!” Minkyun laughs airly. “Mother nature said not to, I guess!” 

“Well, are you going to play it now then?” You should tell him to wait until you’ve finished this chapter. That way you won’t entirely lose track of things. But you’re not infallible; and if there’s one thing you’re horrible at resisting it’s the chance to hear Minkyun play. 

He hops up from the bed to fetch his guitar. And he plays. 

It’s a love song, which doesn’t come as a surprise. Minkyun told you from the beginning - or at least when he first asked if he could take inspiration from your own heart’s tribulations - that he liked to write about that feeling. The good, the bad, or at the very least what he imagined of it. 

This song doesn’t feel familiar. Usually you can tell when he’s written indirectly about your own affairs. So these endearing words, these syrupy lines of dedication, of patiently waiting for the other one to notice… They must be from his own experience. 

A corner of your heart goes sour at that thought, and retorts that it might be one of his other friends. Devoted and hoping it won’t go unnoticed would be right up Yuto’s alley, you tell yourself as your search for a likely suspect. You don’t let yourself think too much on why you don’t want it to be Minkyun’s own feelings. 

Except there’s something else that bothers you. The way he keeps his eyes on his strumming fingers, or closes them altogether. 

Normally Minkyun looks at you now and then, and smiles at your reactions to his music. Even with the unhappy songs. 

You squeeze the textbook in your lap. A corner digs into your palm. He’s somewhere in the second chorus and your mind is fogging over with an irritation. It’s not his fault. You’re not mad at him. 

You just wish you had realized you want to fall in love with Minkyun sooner.

The last chord hangs in the air before you can fully process this thought. He looks at you expectantly. 

“What do you think?” Minkyun asks. 

You force a smile. “It’s sweet.” 

He leaves space for you to elaborate. When you don’t, the corners of his lips drag down a bit. “Just sweet?” He repeats. “Is it lame?” 

“No! It’s just - it’s different from some of your other stuff. But it’s sweet. I like it. I think, um… I just was expecting it to be something based on my whole recent back and forth thing. Since you wanted to play it for me,” you try to cover for your lackluster response. 

Minkyun looks you over for a moment, then chuckles. “Not every song can be about your love life.” 

“I know! Of course! Geez, that’s not what I meant,” you rush to say, loudly, as if you needed to cover the sound of some kind of fracture in your heart. 

He leans forward to set his guitar carefully on the tiles, its neck leaning against the bed frame. “I guess that’s not totally accurate to say here though.” He shakes his head to get his hair out of his eyes as he looks your way again. 

“...What?”  

“Ah… You’re pretty clueless, huh?” Minkyun sounds content with himself, and he’s barely holding back a grin. 

“I’ve never gone on like that about someone.” 

“Yeah, I know.”  

You eye him over a few times quickly, trying to reach a conclusion that feels safe. All you can theorize for sure is that he’s practiced this all, and somehow it’s going to plan. Maybe. “What are you on about?” you ask, tone turning suspicious. 

He laughs more fully now, then shifts his position to face you directly from the other end of his duvet. “You.” 

You glance around him like this could be some hidden camera prank. “What?”

“You,” Minkyun repeats, “It’s about you.” 

In the most foolish move of the day, you suddenly felt your throat dry out the same way it does before you cry. It must have been too much at once: to realize a desire and think it ripped away only to have it suddenly offered up so easily, so soon. 

“You’re not serious.” 

“Is it bad if I am?” he asks, leaning to the right a bit as he watches your reaction. You press your palm to your clavicle, trying to get your heart and your mind in sync. “Am serious, I mean.”  

All you can manage is a shake of your head. 

Minkyun grins bright and leans forward to put a hand over the one still at your side. “You really didn’t notice?” He pulls off incredulous and teasing in one go. If you weren’t so off kilter, you might want to scold him for it somehow. 

“What was I supposed to know?” You ask instead.

He shakes his head. For a fleeting instant, you worry he’s about to brush the whole thing aside. That worry is killed pretty quickly when he leans closer instead and delicately presses an experimental kiss against your lips. 

Minkyun is back to his side of the bed in the next moment, nearly like it hadn’t happened at all.  

Your hand lifts from your clavicle to allow your fingers to brush over your own lips, still tingly with the affection. Or maybe just from his lip balm rubbing off on you. 

He gives you a second more before asking, “Still okay?” 

“Um, yeah.” 

His smile returns. “Still going out to find someone new tonight?” 

“Oh my god.” You cover your face with your hands and accuse, “You’re the worst.”

“So… is that a yes, you are?” 

He knows it isn’t. 

He’s spent all this time getting to know you. Now he gets to be the one on the receiving end of that look in your eyes. 

“Would you stop that?” You muster up as much of a snip in your voice as you can. Your gaze gives away that you’re not really annoyed. It would be difficult to be, given the way your head is still spinning from his confession.    

“Stop what?” 

The smile on his face suggests he already knows. Nevertheless, you don’t give Minkyun the satisfaction of admitting he’s teasing you. “Just kiss me again,” you swerve to a demand. Frankly, it’s the main thing you’d been thinking since the first. You’ll figure out the rest of your feelings later. 

For now, Minkyun is hardly going to deny you that.

Set my soul on fire (make me wild) || Hui/Reader (M)

➣ I was originally going to write a LOT more smut (I had so much planned that I never got to!!! ugh).. Maybe I’ll have to do a part 2 or something 👀 the amount of time i spent looking at pics of his studio just so that one scene would be accurate is insane Title from the song ‘Queen of Disaster’. Very briefly proof-read, so please feel free to inform me of typos!

➣ Hui/Reader | Hui drunkenly kisses the reader without explicit consent but owns up to it bcs I’m tired of every other fic that includes this trope just glossing over it | Smut warnings include: masturbation, fingering, hair-pulling (implied), biting (mostly implied), oral + snowballing, slight pain/masochism (implied), some humiliation/degradation + some praise, referenced submissive headspace, and all of them apply to Hui lmao. Also it’s mentioned that Hui isn’t strictly heterosexual and if that bothers you then idk what to tell you

➣ “He is hanging off your every word and you suddenly feel like you have a choice to make - it’s one you don’t think about for more than a second, because you realize that you don’t need to.”

Hui knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that you had completely ruined his life just by existing in it.

It wasn’t a bad thing, necessarily. The feeling he got whenever you smiled at him, for example, was definitely not a bad thing. The way his skin tingled whenever you brushed against him was.. bothersome, but not a bad thing. The way his heart sped up and beat almost painfully hard whenever he indulged in his regular skinship with you wasn’t particularly bad, but he’d stopped doing that recently just as a preservation strategy so he didn’t die in the next year from a heart attack. (He was a naturally touchy person, and he wasn’t completely sure how he felt at having to stop that with you specifically.)

The way his mind constantly drifted to thoughts of you was starting to become an issue though, as was how he tensed up whenever you got even moderately close to him. You’d started to notice, and he had no idea how to tell you that it was happening because of that one time the rest of the boys had ‘accidentally’ forced the two of you to be pressed against one another in an elevator, and that just the knowledge that your breasts were pressing against his arm had him fighting to not get hard like some sort of teenager. He wasn’t totally sure how successful he’d be the next time if something similar happened.

Still, you were, as far as he was concerned, completely unattainable, and that in itself was a problem. He’d experienced his fair share of heartaches and heartbreaks before, but this was.. different. At least in those circumstances he’d gotten a definitive answer.

With you though, he couldn’t even bring himself to ask, had resigned himself to pining over you like a kid with a crush.

If you hadn’t ruined his life then you sure as hell had made it harder.

.｡..｡.

When Hui gets a knock on his studio door around six pm he’s not particularly surprised – lately his members had taken to dropping in to make sure he had eaten something that day. (Usually he had not.)

He is surprised to see you standing alongside Yuto when he opens the door, so he glances at the maknae suspiciously – Yuto seems perfectly innocent, but Hui wasn’t exactly sure how much of that was an act.

“Hyung, did you eat today?” The younger boy holds up a bag as an offering – it doesn’t look like the regular convenience store food the boys would usually grab for him, so Hui accepts it hesitantly.

“I was originally just going to bring food for Hyunggu, since he was apparently starving in his studio or something, but then he mentioned that you never ate either, so..” You’re looking at him like you’re vaguely disappointed, and it makes a funny feeling tighten in his chest so he pretends to be completely absorbed with looking through the bag. He’s not sure where you got the food from, but it was mostly stuff that he actually liked. “I went to a place Hyunggu wanted, but he told me what he thought you’d like from there – I hope he was right.”

“This – you didn’t have to do this.” It’s nice not being the one buying things for once, he has to admit that to himself, but he still felt a bit bad that you’d felt the need to bring him anything at all. “Thank you, though.”

“You’re right, I didn’t have to. I wanted to – just like I wanted to bring Yuto food too when Hyunggu told me he was also here.” You’ve perched on the edge of his small leather couch and he wonders if you’d ever been in here before – he honestly can’t remember, though with how hyper-aware he was of you it was pretty safe to assume you hadn’t been. Yuto’s lingering near the door quietly, watching you and he interact, and he feels like the younger is analyzing what was happening.

“Thank you for it – I should go eat it now, while it’s still warm.” Yuto’s gentle bass of a voice is almost soothing, but Hui shoots him a look anyway because he suddenly knew what was happening. His maknaes were downright masterminds when it came to plans like this, and he can’t think of any way to get Yuto to stay before you bid him a cheerful goodbye as the Japanese boy smiles at the both of you as he carefully closes the door.

“Should I go too? I don’t want to distract you or be a bother or anything.” Your question is so sincere that he just looks at you for a few moments, tries to figure out a way to say ‘Yes, you do distract me and bother me, but definitely not in the way you’re thinking’. He finally settles on a single head shake, clearing a small portion of one of his desks to place the food on.

“Did you already eat?”

“No, but I’m fine.” Your answer is quiet, and he glances over to see you gazing around his studio – he feels vaguely embarrassed, though he’s not particularly sure why. His studio is remarkably small, it’s true, but he’s not actually ashamed of anything in it.

“You’ve never been in here before?” He’s pretty sure you haven’t, but there’s no harm in confirming it. You’d been focused intently on reading the names on his soccer jerseys, but once he speaks you turn all that intense concentration on to him and his mouth goes dry.

“Nope. Not that I remember, anyway, and I’m pretty sure I’d remember that.” You’re smiling at him and he doesn’t know why that’s something you’d remember, but your smile makes him not really care about the particulars. “Now eat, Hui.”

He raises his eyebrows at the parental tone you’ve adopted but says nothing, knowing there was no way he could get out of it now – and honestly, he didn’t really want to. He was really fucking hungry, and the meat you’d brought him smelled delicious.

It’s only as he’s taking his first bite (which is excellent by the way, Hyunggu apparently had a very good taste in restaurants) that he remembers what you said about not eating and makes a stupid split-second decision. (He’s never been one to think about things like this too much before blindly doing them, which was probably a problem, come to think of it.)

“Here –“ He holds the strip of bulgogi out towards you, one hand underneath, the sound of his heartbeat a constant background theme song. “Say ‘ah’~” And it’s so easy to pretend, to act like he’s just being friendly, to tinge everything he says with a bit of aegyo – you roll your eyes at him but accept the food anyway.

It’s not easy to ignore the intimacy of an act like this, to ignore the way he’s hit with a sudden yearning deep in his chest to be able to feed you food whenever, like a real significant other could.

“Thank you, but no more! This food is for you.”

“Okay, okay.”

The silence that slips back afterwards is mostly comfortable – you seem determined to make sure he eats, so while he does so you go back to gazing around his studio. Hui feels like there really wasn’t that much to look at, but you hadn’t looked bored yet, taking in the contents of his desk and then computer monitor. He realizes belatedly that he still had the windows open for some of their unreleased tracks, but when he glances at you again you’ve already moved on from them, so he leaves them where they are.

“Are you still seeing that one guy?” It’s easy conversation, light and carefree even if the topic makes him feel a bit bitter – as much as the knowledge of you seeing other people ate away at him he knows it would bother him more if you didn’t feel comfortable talking with him about it at all. Being able to be a close friend you confided in was something he cared more about than not feeling jealous.

“Oh – no, I’m not.” Your tone is carefully disinterested, but he can see through it well enough by now. Still, he doesn’t say anything, just turns so he’s fully facing you, focused and listening. “We just had a – confliction of interests I guess you could say.” You laugh softly at your wording and he laughs too, even if he doesn’t totally understand what you mean.

“And that means, what, exactly?”

“He thought women should be submissive during sex, and I disagreed.” ..Oh. Hui’s gaze darts away as he tries to process that – it wasn’t that you talking about sex was surprising. He was used to talking with you about intimately private things like this, though that was before this annoying infatuation with you had manifested into the tiresome nuisance it was now. Still, you’d never exactly stated your.. affinities towards any one thing.

“Ah.. is that so?” He sounds much hoarser than he’d meant to, like he’d choked on something – he still can’t look at you, because suddenly all he can think about is what that meant, if it meant leather and pain or lace and sweetness, if it meant scathing words or saccharine praises.

“Are you blushing?” You’re leaning forward off his couch, grinning and trying to get a look at his face, one of your hands on his knee to keep him from turning away from you - and he realizes that yes, he is fucking blushing, and the place you were touching him felt like it was blistering with heat. “Well, at least you’re not getting all upset with me for injuring your masculine pride or whatever by being a woman who doesn’t like to –“

“Okay! Okay okay, please take mercy on me!” His slightly exaggerated whining is met with your laughter, and his face feels like it’s on fucking fire, but he can’t look away from you now that he’d accidentally met your gaze.

“Sorry – you’re just so cute when you’re flustered!” And he knows he shouldn’t take this as anything more than friendly teasing, just like whenever Hyunggu would call him ‘cute’ whenever he got scared of something, but your words still make something short-circuit in his brain and he swears to everything that you will be the death of him.

“I’m – sorry things didn’t work out with him, but you’re really going to kill me if you keep this up.” And it’s not even a lie – he is ninety-eight percent sure that if you keep talking like this without giving him time to recuperate then he was just going to over-heat and pass out.

“I should go anyway, I’ve distracted you long enough – I didn’t go too far, did I?” You’ve stood up now and are looking down at him with a worried smile, so he just shakes his head because he’s pretty sure if he tried to talk he’d say something stupid like ‘No, I definitely didn’t mind hearing you say that, and while you’re at it please tell me some more’. “I’ll talk to you later, okay? Make sure you eat it all!”

He manages a “goodbye” that sounds sort of like he wasn’t dying, waving to you until you leave and his studio door beeps to signify that it was locked again.

“For fuck’s sake..” Hui forces himself to breathe deep, tries to will some of the heat to leave his face. He really didn’t know why he was getting so flustered over something like this – he wasn’t usually the type. Was it just because it was you? Because he definitely wouldn’t mind if you preferred to be dominant?

Hui curses again, a quiet ‘fuck’ that doesn’t really encompass everything he’s feeling but seems to be the best he can manage. Fuck indeed. He was so fucked.

.｡..｡.

The next time Hui’s in his studio he does his best to forget about the conversation the two of you had had last in there, tries to forget the way his entire body had lit up when you touched his leg, tries to forget the way you’d smiled so sweetly when he fed you.

It doesn’t go well.

To be honest, he didn’t do things like this often – he was busy most of the time, and if he was in his studio then he usually had something he needed to work on instead. But being in this room less than twenty-four hours after you had off-handedly mentioned that you liked to take a more dominant approach in the bedroom had him unable to concentrate on anything else, though he had made a valiant effort for an upwards of fifteen minutes.

With an agitated huff he’s pushing his chair back from his desk with more force than necessary, moving to make sure his studio’s door was locked before taking a seat on the edge of his couch. For a moment he contemplates if he’s really going to do this, runs an aggressive hand through his dyed silver hair and then curses the tingling pain it brings that he doesn’t quite hate as much as he should in the moment.

There’s a lingering feeling of shame and a much stronger feeling of embarrassment covering his body when he reaches for himself, though it only lasts for a few moments until the feeling of the rough friction of his palm through his jeans overpowers anything else.

Hui tips his head back with a soft moan before he remembers he needs to keep quiet, bites his lip when he unzips himself so he can wrap his fingers around his cock more easily. He’s rough, impatient, wants to finish fast but also likes the slight bit of pain – he full body shudders when he finally tugs the waistband of his briefs down and feels the cold air hit him, falling back onto his forearm. He knows, for a fact, that there’s a small bottle of lube in one of his drawers somewhere, but he doesn’t bother looking for it – he’s slick enough as is, and the slight pain keeps him grounded, keeps him from getting into it enough that he wouldn’t be able to monitor his volume.

There’s a slight urgency surrounding it all that is always there when doing something like this in a semi-public place, and he gives into it this time and allows it to urge him on quicker, fucking into his fist like he was going to get caught at any second.

He wants to drag this out, wants to get this over with, wants to think about anything else or feel the need to pull up some dirty video on his phone to finish, but all he can think about is you, you, you – he wonders what it would be like if you were the one stroking him instead, if you’d take pity on him or would be ruthless, if you’d whisper sweet compliments into his skin or humiliate him with biting words, if you’d bite at his neck, he really wanted you to bite at his neck and mark him up –

He orgasms with a choked off cry, hastily shoves the back of his wrist against his teeth to try to keep quiet as his hips buck sloppily into the loose circle of his fingers. He’s never been particularly quiet, and another wave of arousal washes over him as he imagines you telling him to keep it down, warning him that you’d have to gag him otherwise. He whimpers pitifully at the thought and tries to shut his mind down, feeling overstimulated both physically and mentally.

His fingers are sticky, the warmth quickly drying on his skin, and he feels much too hot, a thin sheen of sweat clinging to his skin alongside a layer of shame. He’s not totally sure why but he feels like he’s just made everything worse, like somehow he’d crossed a line and now being around you was going to be ten times harder.

He also feels like this was inevitable though, that his attraction to you had been building for so long that if he hadn’t found a release for it somewhere then he would have gone insane.

Or maybe he’s insane now, now that he’d done something this dirty and depraved. He really didn’t know, gaze still just a bit glassy and unfocused.

What he did know was that he was completely and utterly fucked at this point, collapses onto his back and lets his aching forearm finally take a break as his eyes slide shut in defeat.

.｡..｡.

“You’re not serious.”

“Of course we are, hyung – why, do you have a problem with it?”

Hongseok is taunting him, like he always does, and Hui would usually play along and tease him back but he feels completely thrown off guard and does nothing more than blink at all of them incredulously. His lack of a playful reaction in return has Hongseok softening a bit at the edges, but Hyunggu isn’t nearly as merciful.

“What’s the problem with it? You’ve been wanting us to do something bonding like this for a while, and now we have a time to do it, a reason to do it, and someone to make sure we don’t screw it all up by doing something stupid when we’re drunk.”

“We didn’t force her, hyung, she offered when we asked.” Yuto’s trying to alleviate Hui’s concerns, but he’s way off base – still, he’s trying, so Hui manages what he hopes is more smile than it is grimace in the Japanese boy’s direction.

“We want to drink, she doesn’t like drinking, and we have a few days off because Road to Kingdom ended – what are you so worried about?” Changgu asks him, kind and sincere as always – Hui doesn’t trust him for a minute, but he can’t fight the natural urge to tell everyone what his issue was anyway. God, he hated them sometimes. (They were his family, and he supposed sometimes you just had to hate your family.)

“You all know my – my problem with her.”

“Yeah, we know you want to –“

“Date her.” Wooseok cuts Shinwon off at the last second, modifying whatever it was his hyung had been about to say – Shinwon looks both annoyed and scandalized that Wooseok had thought he was going to say anything else. Hui does his best to ignore them.

“You really thought I’d be okay with her being the one watching over us while we drank? Knowing that none of us can drink well?” He swore he could literally feel his stress levels rising – it wasn’t like he was an embarrassing drunk or anything, but he knew he had an incredibly low tolerance for it, and he also knew that if the entire group was drinking then they were just going to end up egging one another on until everyone was truly smashed.

“Well, you’re going to have to be okay with it, hyung.” Hyunggu, always the hard-ass, insists forcefully – he doesn’t say it unkindly, but he says it in a tone that brooks no room for disagreement. It’s more Kino’s voice than it is Hyunggu’s, scarily similar to when they’re in the practice room.

Hui knows he could override it with hyung or leader seniority, knows Hyunggu is watching him carefully to see if it’s actually something the elder couldn’t deal with.

He ultimately says nothing, just sighs in a way that lets everyone else know he’s acquiesced – the resulting cheer brings a small smile to his face, even if he still feels uneasy about how the planned drinking night would go. He knew that when it came to both his members and you in one building with alcohol involved there was no way he wasn’t royally fucked.

.｡..｡.

The night goes exactly as you expected it to – none of the Pentagon members could hold their liquor particularly well, which meant that after an hour and a half they were all at their limits. (It was honestly kind of funny to watch. They were all so intent on getting one another drunk that they weren’t really even paying attention to the way everyone was sabotaging each other by constantly keeping the cups full.)

Still, that meant you were mostly trying to make sure they didn’t kill or injure themselves somehow. It wasn’t too hard of a task, though you did have to threaten both Wooseok and Hyunggu to keep them from climbing on top of the only coffee table Dorm A had. You were pretty sure the glass would just shatter under their combined weight. Hyunggu had targeted you with an impressive pout after that, but he’d lost interest pretty quickly when Yuto had fallen asleep - not that you blamed him, the rapper was sort of adorable when he slept.

It also meant that when Hui got up to get water – he swore that’s what he was getting, at least – you followed him. The man was a menace in the kitchen when he was sober, you were almost afraid to imagine what he’d manage to do when he was drunk. Just his presence alone might cause the stove to burst into flames or something. He was seriously cursed.

“Why are you following me?” His question is just a bit slurred together, almost sounding more like he was incredibly sleepy instead of drunk – you figure it’s because he hadn’t had as much to drink, but you weren’t really sure. You hadn’t been monitoring how much any person drank, more concerned with keeping them alive. (They could manage to injure themselves sitting on the floor sober, so being drunk just made your job several times harder.)

“Just checking.” You murmur – he raises his eyebrows at your comment but doesn’t say anything else, turning to grab a glass from one of the cupboards. You watch him for four whole seconds before you decide he’s about to knock several of them to the floor, stepping forward to reach for it instead. Maybe you’d been wrong about how much he had drank.

“I could have gotten it..” His petulance makes you smile, doing your best not to laugh at the little “hmph” he gives you when you inform him that no, he probably could not have.

“Just let me take care of you, you big baby. At least this way I can make sure you’re getting only water.”

“That is all I was getting..” He’s still sulking when you hand it to him, face flushed from the culmination of everything he’d drank tonight. You force your gaze away when he begins to drink – even drunk off his ass he was still an infuriatingly confusing mix of handsome and cute, and you resolutely did not want to watch his throat when he swallowed.

The sound of glass hitting a bit too hard on a solid surface startles you – Hui’s set his glass down incredibly close to your hand, depth perception just a bit fucked. You want to open your mouth to scold him for the close call, but his body heat is incredibly distracting, and he’s raising one of his hands and your breath catches in your throat.

He cages you in against the dorm’s sink, one hand on the side of your neck – to angle the kiss better or to steady himself you weren’t sure – with the other bracing himself as he presses his lips to yours. He’s so ultra-hot against your body, tastes of the same fruity drink Shinwon had been pressing into his hand all evening, the metal of his belt buckle biting into your stomach.

It’s not until he gives a soft breathy moan into your mouth that you realize you’ve been kissing him back for the past thirty seconds in his own kitchen, heedless of the rest of his members in the adjoining room or the fact that he was drunk enough he could barely stand without assistance. You press at his shoulders with minimal force, missing the pressure of his lips when he instantly moves away.

“What..?” He looks immensely confused, and you feel awful for kissing him back when you weren’t totally sure he was even aware of what he was doing. “Why’d you push me away?“

“Hui –“

“You kissed me back, so why’d y –“

“I just don’t want you to do something you’re going to regret later, Hwitaek.” You hope the use of his full name will get through to him – it seems it does, in some regard, because while he chokes out a half-disbelieving and half-tormented laugh he still pauses and blinks at you slowly like he was trying to carefully choose his next words.

“You act like I haven’t wanted to do this since the first time I met you.” And oh, his voice is just a bit huskier, a bit slurred on the syllables, but he says them carefully and you know that, at the very least, Drunk Hui meant them.

The problem was that you didn’t know if Sober Hui would agree.

“You should go to bed, Hui.” You say this instead of saying all the other things crowding the tip of your tongue, instead of grabbing him by the collar and kissing him again – alcohol took away a person’s consent, and you weren’t about to take a chance to pressure Hui into doing something you weren’t sure he wanted in the first place.

“No one else has gone to bed yet..” Now he’s sulking – but this is normal, this you can deal with. You can pretend like your lips didn’t still tingle where his had been touching, can pretend like you weren’t already addicted to the feeling.

“That’s not really a valid argument considering Yuto’s fallen asleep twice already.” You counter, watching the way he bites at his bottom lip in frustration – you know it for what it is, and it still seems coy to you instead, like he’s trying to seduce you.

God, what was wrong with you? He was just pouting now, brow furrowed, and you feel absolutely pathetic for seeing his current actions as anything other than what they really were.

It didn’t matter how attractive or desirable you found him, you couldn’t in good conscience do anything while he was so inebriated.

“Come on, Hui – let’s get you to bed so I can get back to the other boys to make sure they haven’t done something stupid, like coercing Hongseok into wrestling Changgu shirtless. Again.”

“It wasn’t that stupid –“

“They literally broke a bookshelf with their bodies, be quiet.” The banter comes easily, is normal and comfortable – it’s easy to pretend like he hadn’t just been kissing you, like you hadn’t just been fantasizing about him seducing you of his own free will. His skin is warm underneath your fingertips, flushed from the alcohol, as you direct him by the bicep down the hall and to his room.

You’re rarely in here – he’s rarely in here, actually, considering how much time he spends at his studio, how often he sleeps there. Because of that his room is sparsely decorated, an incredibly faint lingering smell of the cologne he occasionally wore clinging to the edges of some of the surfaces. It’s a heady scent that you do your absolute best to ignore, because it brings to mind images of him whenever he bothered to get extra dressed up, devastatingly handsome.

He lets you guide him over to his bed with zero fuss but turns back towards you when his knees hit the edge of it, one hand coming up to caress your cheek. It’s a deceptively gentle action, and you know you should really stop him, but you don’t move when he leans in to kiss you again. Underneath the flavor of alcohol there’s a distinctive taste that is purely him, and you know if you weren’t addicted to kissing him before then you definitely were now.

When you nip at his bottom lip and he lets out a shuddering moan you realize what you’re doing, try to pull away as fast as you can – this wasn’t fair to him, when he wasn’t in his right mind – but he catches you with a hand frantically landing on your waist, dropping his head to litter kisses along your jaw and then throat. You try to ignore the way your legs go weak at the feeling.

“Please –“ It’s more of a whine than a plea, but you feel it against the skin of your neck all the same, the words dragged along your pulse-point like a searing flame. “If we don’t now, then I don’t think –“

“You need to sleep.” It takes every ounce of willpower inside of you to ignore the wetness pooling between your legs, the insistent hard press of his cock against your thigh, the way his whimper when you push at his chest vibrates along the skin of your shoulder where he presses one last desperate kiss. “We can – we’ll talk about it in the morning.” You continue to push him gently back until he’s sitting on the edge of his bed, gazing up at you through his eyelashes, flushed and looking five different kinds of wrecked. Your entire nervous system threatens to shut down at the sight and you’re not sure that you can keep your promise about talking about it tomorrow.

He’s apparently not sure of it either, expression pinched and distraught when you press him insistently by the shoulders back onto his bed. His hair is ruffled and his eyes are glazed (from the alcohol or lust, you weren’t sure), his lips slick and kiss-bruised –

You tear your gaze away and force yourself to breathe again. When you look back Hui’s thrown a forearm over his eyes, bottom lip snagged between his teeth, breathing labored.

It takes ten seconds before you’re out of the room, clicking the door shut as quietly as you can, trying to erase the imagery of tears staining his face.

.｡..｡.

When Hui wakes up it’s to a pounding head and the vaguely disgusting feeling you get when you sleep in your clothes on top of your covers. His entire body hurts and he makes the same promise he always does when he wakes up like this, the same one he’s never kept – he’ll never drink again. Or, at the very least, he’ll never drink that much again.

His whole room spins when he pushes himself up, groaning softly at the way he feels like the world tilts dangerously on its axis as he slides his legs off the edge of his mattress. It’s only because of this world-shifting that he notices Wooseok asleep on the other side of his bed, all his long limbs drawn in as close as possible, his brow furrowed in his sleep.

He wonders when the maknae had ended up here and how they’d decided on rooms while he goes to the pain-staking process of draping one of his extra blankets over the tall boy. The world is still too bright (even with his blinds shut) and every step he takes feels a bit like walking through mud, but when he sees the way Wooseok slightly relaxes after being covered it all feels worth it.

The trek from his room to the kitchen feels like it takes much longer than it should, but at the very least the suspiciously long stretch of the dorm gives ample time for his headache to shift from excruciating to manageable. He was going to find the bottle of Aspirin, take all of them, and then go the fuck back to sleep. (Okay, maybe one of those was an exaggeration, but it sure felt like he could use that many painkillers.)

“Good morning.” He almost chokes when he hears your voice, a sudden onslaught of memories causing his face to heat up – you weren’t even looking at him, busying yourself with the small skillet Hongseok kept religiously cleaned. Hui wasn’t sure if his nausea was due to the smell of food or the way all he could think about was how he had – stupidly, why the fuck had he done that – kissed you and then tried to get you into bed with him.

“..Morning.” He hopes you take his lackluster response as a product of his hangover, sliding into one of the chairs at the kitchen table so he can bury his head in his hands.

“That bad, huh? You’re going to have to learn to tell Shinwon ‘no’ when he offers you drinks, you know.” He looks up to see you placing what he assumes is an Aspirin down on the table in front of him, already turned back to grab him water. He’s not sure if he’s glad you mistook his suffering as the results of a hangover or not.

“Thanks.” He waits until you hand him the glass before he takes the medicine, downing the rest of the contents when he realizes just how thirsty he was. He can feel the weight of your gaze still on him and it makes the blood in his veins feel like ice, knowing you had to remember the exact same things he (suddenly) did.

“If it makes you feel any better, Hongseok is way worse off than you right now. I honestly can’t believe he’s such a lightweight sometimes…” Your tone is sympathetic, but all Hui feels is a slight smug happiness at there being someone else who was, at the very least, suffering more than he currently was. At least Hongseok hadn’t had the chance to do anything stupid with someone he liked last night, like Hui had. “Honestly, it’s sort of impressive.”

“Huh?” He’d stopped listening to you by pure accident, forces himself to refocus on you – which just causes his eyes to instantly lock on to your lips, face heating up because not only does he remember kissing them, he remembers what they felt like and tasted like and he has to fight to tear his gaze away. God he was so fucked.

“How many lightweights you have in your band. In a group of nine you’d think it’d be more even, but, like.. almost all of you can’t hold your liquor. It’s kind of impressive.” You’re back to focusing on whatever it is you’re cooking – he only just now notices you also have ramen boiling in their small stove to the side, the dull bubbling of the water having blended into background noise long before he’d realized it had been there.

“Are they okay?” He’s sure they are, but there’s some deeply ingrained part of him that feels required to check – the soft smile you give him in response makes him feel like he’s in high school again whenever his crush would focus on him and him alone, and he isn’t sure what to do with that feeling now that he’s twenty eight years old, so he looks down at his empty cup instead.

“They’ll be okay. Wooseokkie ended up in your room – I’m sure you noticed him.” You wait for him to glance at you and nod before continuing. “Hongseok and Changgu ended up in the same room together, which worked out well considering Changgu’s probably the only one who could sleep through Hongseok’s pitiful whining about his hangover anyway. Hyunggu and Yuto shared a room, I think – which I guess means Shinwon ended up alone. Any guess on whether he’ll be happy or upset about that?”

“It could be either.” He responds, mostly because it’s true (Shinwon’s moods were hard to predict sometimes) but partly because talking about his members was something he could easily do, something that felt familiar and normal. It felt safe and far away from the topic he didn’t want to think about. (But he was thinking about it anyway, could remember your warmth when your body was pressed against his, could remember the way you kissed him back bruisingly and made him want nothing more than for you to wreck him every day of his life.)

“Oh, right – Yanan’s in China, by the way, and Jinho’s in the military.”

“Thanks.” His response is a dry remark at the way you were trying to tease him – like he didn’t know where Yanan was and wasn’t constantly in contact with the soon-to-be actor, like he didn’t think about Jinho every single day and wonder if he was doing well. “What would I do without your incredibly timely information.”

You just roll your eyes at him and turn to the ramen – he wonders who you’re making it for before realizing it was probably for whoever woke up hungry. That realization makes a certain spot in his chest warm, and he tries to ignore it because for fuck’s sake, not now.

“I knew it was going to go badly..” He mutters to himself – you hum questioningly and he blinks, surprised you heard him and instantly trying to reach for a half-truth that you’d believe. “Drinking so much, I mean.” Not totally a lie, which meant he could say it and have it sound mostly believable. To his relief you seem to take it at face value.

A silence stretches out between the two of you – it seems comfortable for you, but he feels like his skin is crawling, waiting for the moment you spring the dreaded conversation on him. He can’t think of any more topics to bring up to stall it.

“Hwitaek.” The tone of your voice makes his heart drop into his stomach and freezes over any warmth he’d been feeling because he knows the conversation that is now seconds away from happening is going to be one he didn’t ever want to have. “I think we should talk about what happened last night.”

“What happened?” He tries to brush it off like he didn’t remember, but his voice wavers just a bit and he can’t meet your gaze and he knows that you don’t buy it for a second.

“We have to.” Your voice is soft, gentle, and he hates it because he feels like you’re trying to be as kind as possible, and that didn’t bode well for how the conversation was going to go. “Did you do what you did because you were drunk, or because you were drunk and wanted to?”

Your gaze has him pinned to the seat, his own eyes wide and brain trying to stutter through any excuse he could think of, and when that didn’t work, trying to think of some way he could play it all off as a joke, or as him just being an overly friendly drunk.

You won’t believe anything but the truth, he can tell, and he was a shit liar even when he wasn’t hungover and panicked.

“I –“ He doesn’t know what he’s going to say, probably something stupid like ‘I love you, and I don’t know when I knew that but I’ve always wanted to kiss you, I was drunk but it let me do what I always wanted to do’ but he’s saved by Hyunggu walking into the kitchen, rubbing at his eyes and looking a bit less like hell than Hui felt.

“I think I’m dying..” The maknae grumbles, and your attention shifts to him and getting him something to help his headache. Hui tries to feel relieved that the conversation had been dropped, but the look you send him once over Hyunggu’s shoulder says, ‘We’re not done talking about this’ and he feels sick all over again. He was so fucked.

.｡..｡.

It isn’t until he escapes to his studio later that day, having basically inhaled an entire cup of coffee to try to fight off both his hangover and his exhaustion, that he realizes that aside from all his personal problems with how the night before had went he had essentially pushed himself on you and then not allowed you an avenue to talk to him about it.

And that makes him feel even more sick, because there had been a chance you’d just wanted closure of some kind considering he had basically drunkenly assaulted you, and all he’d done was avoid the issue entirely when you tried to talk to him about it.

Fuck. Fuck, he was the worst.

He’d been so worried about rejection that he hadn’t even thought about the fact that you’d never consented to being kissed – or, fuck, being propositioned for sex – in the first place.

He runs both hands through his hair aggressively, ruffling it in the slightly painful way he usually did whenever he did something he wasn’t happy with – he feels anxiety sitting cold in his stomach, fear that not only would you hate him but that he’d ended up hurting you or breaking your trust in him all because he’d gotten stupidly drunk.

Pushing down the steadily rising nausea, he reaches for his phone and almost calls you, deciding at the last moment to text you a simple ‘You’re right, we need to talk’ instead. He’d already fucked up once, he didn’t want to force you into the conversation by calling you unexpectedly. As an afterthought he adds a quickly typed ‘I’m sorry I tried to avoid it before’, because despite how nervous the thought makes him, he is genuinely sorry. (Sorry for everything, in fact.)

He tries to busy himself with unfinished tracks while waiting for you to respond, listens to the same snippet of some demo Yuto had sent him six times without really ever hearing the notes, does his absolute best to ignore how one of the last times he was in here he’d ended up touching himself to the thought of you. With everything that had happened since he feels fucking disgusting at the thought of it.

When his phone vibrates he essentially lunges for it – it wasn’t like he’d been making progress on anything anyway – heart hammering in his throat as he opens your messages.

‘It’s okay. In person or by a call?’

He wants to fucking cry at how nice you’re being, at giving him the option to choose a less personal route – but he knows that you were the one who’d taken the brunt of the incident, that all he was really worried about was rejection and being embarrassed. His fingers tap out ‘I’m embarrassed, but it’s up to you’ before deleting the first part before sending. He didn’t want you to feel like he was trying to pressure you into one choice or the other at this point.

‘Knowing you, and seeing how you reacted this morning, I think you’d die if we did it in person lol I’ll call you’

He tries to fight the weak smile your text causes – you always make him smile, and this is no different, but he can’t tell if you’re genuinely okay or not through text and it worries him. You’d seemed fine this morning, almost painfully nonchalant – too nonchalant? He wasn’t sure if he was overthinking things now or not – but he’d been hungover and tired.

You don’t call right away, and he resigns himself to waiting out another five or so minutes in this sickening state of anxiety, selecting and re-selecting the exact same clip of audio over and over just so he can pretend he’s doing something, so he can try to occupy his brain.

When his phone does ring he slams his knee into the table in surprise, high-strung and nervous. He barely even feels the tingling pain.

“I’m so sorry.” He blurts out the instant he answers, muttering a soft fuck under his breath afterwards. He’d wanted to give you time to speak, but he was buzzing with an anxious and guilty energy that had him speaking before he even realized he was.

“What?” Your question sounds more surprised than legitimately confused, like you hadn’t expected him to just start talking immediately. He rakes a hand through his hair again and then keeps it there, fisted, trying to ground himself with the tiny bit of pain as his breathing speeds up.

“About last night – I’m so sorry, I just – I was drunk, and that’s no excuse for what I did, I wasn’t thinking and I’m so fucking sorry. Are – are you okay? Am I allowed to ask that?” He feels like he’s right on the verge of panicking and he hates it, because you were the victim here, not him.

“I –“ You only pause to collect your thoughts for a heartbeat, but he feels the moment stretch on endlessly, sees ninety different scenarios play out and discards every positive one immediately. “Hui, you’re – god you’re so sweet.”

“What?” It’s more of an exhale than a word, because you didn’t sound angry, or hurt, you just sounded slightly amused and grateful, and he doesn’t want to get his hopes up but you didn’t sound upset.

“You’re right, what you did was wrong and shitty, and you suck for doing it.” You pause to breathe, and it reminds him he needs to breathe, his gaze darting along one of his computer monitors without really seeing anything. “But it’s sweet of you to apologize. You should, but most people wouldn’t.”

“I should have this morning.” He murmurs quietly, fingers gripping his phone so tightly they’ve begun to ache. “I was selfish and didn’t even think about it. I really am so fucking sorry.”

“I know, Hui. I believe you. You suck at lying anyway, if you weren’t sorry then I’d be able to tell.” You’re laughing again, and he tries to join you, but it sounds weak. His entire body feels like it’s melted into nothing – he didn’t even care if you rejected him at this point, you didn’t hate him and that was good enough. “But I kissed you back, Hui. Multiple times, actually.”

“…..what?” He can’t think of anything else to say – he had remembered you kissing him back, of course he did, but it all sort of blurred together at one point and he wasn’t sure that any of it had definitively happened. “I – I know – I mean, I thought you did, but you could have just, I don’t know, been trying.. to.. get me to go away by not resisting..?” Some drunks became irate when told ‘no’, and while he knew he wasn’t one of them – and he had a feeling you did too – that didn’t mean you hadn’t just been trying to protect yourself.

“God you’re sweet.” Your sudden, repeated statement is quiet, almost like you hadn’t meant him to hear it – he doesn’t say anything, doing his best to just breathe, doing his best to act his fucking age and not like some kid who needed instant reassurance. You were the one who deserved reassurance in this situation. “I kissed you because I wanted to, Hui. It’s very kind of you to be so concerned, but you’re about the least threatening drunk I’ve ever encountered. I could have probably pushed you off me with one hand – actually, I did push you off me with one hand, when we were in the kitchen.”

“I – you – you wanted to.” It’s a statement because he’s stuck trying to process this new information, because this wasn’t a rejection (he thinks it’s not, at least), because you didn’t hate him, because the way all the anxiety induced adrenaline had leeched out of his body was leaving him feeling even more exhausted than before.

“I actually wanted to tell you that I was sorry – since I kissed you back and all, but you were drunk so it wasn’t really like you were –“

“I wanted to – I wanted you to.” He says the words too fast, trips over them, but he knows you understood by the way you went silent on the other end. He appreciated the apology, really, he did, but not only did he not think it was needed, he also couldn’t stand listening to you apologize for kissing him back when he had been dreaming about this moment for way too fucking long.

And he wants to tell you that, but you’re still silent and he’s beginning to wonder if he somehow read this entire situation wrong.

“..I don’t know what to say now.” You admit softly, and he lets out a silent exhale when he realizes you’re just being shy. He wasn’t used to that side of you, but already he knew he found it adorable, just like the rest of you.

“You can’t be more embarrassed than me, if you are then neither of us will be able to talk.” He’s laughing quietly now, feeling.. not quite comfortable yet, but definitely on the way there. You hadn’t really made any declaration of love for him, but you had reciprocated his kiss, at the very least.

“Oh, you need me to be confident?” There’s a teasing tone in your voice that is more commonplace than the shy one from before, and he already knew just by the sound of it that whatever you’re going to say next is going to affect him in some way.

“It’d be helpful.”

“Then I’d say we need to try that whole kissing thing again, but without the alcohol. It really ruined the experience last time, don’t you think?” He suddenly can’t breathe again, mouth opening and then closing at your statement – not that you care about his lack of a response, since you continue without him saying anything. “It could have led to so many fun places if you hadn’t been drunk.” A pause, where his heartbeat pounds in his head and his mouth has gone dry. When you speak again he can tell you’re doing your best to keep up your confident façade. “..Is that okay with you?”

“Yes.” He says this on a relieved breath, face still hot but body covered in excited, adrenaline filled tingles. You were really putting him through an emotional workout this morning, but at this point he wouldn’t dare complain. “Please. I’ve wanted –“

He cuts himself off before he can say anything more embarrassing, about how long he’s wanted to do something like that, to hear you say something like that, how he’s fantasized and day-dreamed about it for way too long. He flushes even more when he can hear your gentle laughter on the other line.

“You mentioned something like that last night. I wanted to ask about it actually –“

“Oh, wow, I am super busy right now doing leader things, just.. so busy. I couldn’t possibly talk to you anymore, I’m just so extremely busy.”

“Jerk.” This time when you laugh he laughs with you, a real laugh instead of the weak one he’d offered you earlier. “Okay, fine, go do your suddenly important work – but I’m definitely interrogating you about that later, it’s just too interesting to pass up. Bye Hwitaek.”

“Bye.”

It’s so like you to cut the conversation short whenever he mentioned his work – you never wanted to genuinely distract him, and it was one of the things he liked about you.

Loved about you.

Fuck. Fuck.

He can’t contain his laugh of disbelief and giddiness, setting his phone down on his desk so he can cover his face with both of his hands, running them through his hair and pushing it back away from his eyes.

You said you’d wanted to kiss him. You had kissed him. He hadn’t imagined it.

You’d said you wanted to kiss him again.

His phone vibrates and he lowers his hands to glance at it, sees it’s a text from you, and already he can feel that warm, lightweight feeling in his chest just at the sight of it.

God, he was so fucked – but with how this had turned out, he really couldn’t complain at all, nor did he want to.

.｡..｡.

Trying the ‘kissing thing’ again, as you had put it to him on the phone, turned out to be a nebulous concept – not that Hui really expected anything else, but it was a bit disappointing to finally get an answer (a positive one at that) only to be unable to meet up with you again. Not that getting to text you often wasn’t wonderful – it was, and he felt the need to make that abundantly clear (though he was pretty sure you knew that, considering he actually paid attention to his phone now just so he could respond to you) – it was just a bit frustrating to finally have permission to do the things he’d been dreaming about, like kissing you, and then be barred from doing it by forces outside of his control.

As it was, it was nearing the end of the second week since the ’confession’ had happened, and he was only just now finding time to head over to your place after working all day. It was late (nearing four am, he noticed with a groan) and his muscles ached from practice and his eyes ached from composing all day but he would be damned if he’d let another chance to spend time with you slip by him without leaping for it.

“You look so attractive.” It’s the first thing out of your mouth when you see him at your door – Hui laughs the soft sort of laugh he does when he’s a bit nervous, bending to unlace his shoes. It’s not rare of you to compliment him – in fact, you usually did, because it was true and he deserved all the kind words you could heap on him – but something about the circumstances makes it feel different this time, charges the air with a sort of excited, nervous tension.

“Really? I came over right after practice, I can’t look that good..” He trails off, shy, and you look him over again. It’s true that he looks a bit tired and run down, but the dim low lighting of your entryway paints his skin golden and throws his profile into a mix of soft shadows and gentle lines, illuminates his silver hair into a gradient of golden blonde to dusky gray.

“You look good, trust me.” It’s all you can say – everything else gets stuck in your head, muddling itself before it can get to your tongue. You hope to one day be able to properly put into words just how beautiful he is to you, but you’re in no rush to do it now, you have time. “Are you sure you’re going to be okay tomorrow?”

“If I passed up on this chance then I might legitimately die.” He says it so seriously that you laugh, and the way his expression smooths out into a warm smile has your heart beating erratically. God, he didn’t play fair at all.

“Well, if you’re sure..” You take the chance to step closer to him during the slight lull in conversation – he blinks at you once, still smiling, but the smile freezes on his face when you nonchalantly place your arms around his neck. You can feel the way he’s tensed at the new, intimate position, and it’s absolutely adorable how he clearly wants to reciprocate in some way but resolutely keeps his arms at his sides. “You –“

“Can I kiss you?” He says it all in one breath, interrupting you, rushed and embarrassed but also like he craves it, like he might die if he didn’t get your permission to do so. It’s the cutest thing in the world and a surge of heat floods your bloodstream at the tone of his voice, the look in his eyes. “Please.” He tacks it on at the end, a quiet whisper, so fucking good and sweet and perfect.

“Of course, baby.” The words are barely out of your mouth before he’s surging forward to connect your lips, his hands landing on your waist and a soft sound of pleasure escaping him as a sigh. The pet-name of ‘baby’ is one you learned that he liked recently, and while it had been deliciously fun to tease him with it through text and over the phone it was something else entirely to see the way he responded to it in person, the rich sunset color of his eyes softening into something more gentle and pliant.

The way Hui kisses now is slightly different than when he’d been drunk – it’s more assured, more precise, and while it still holds that level of desperation from before there’s something a bit less rushed about it, something more confident and not as nervous as before.

There's something infinitely better about doing it this way, Hui thinks, better than anything he'd fantasized about or hazily remembered from when he'd been drunk. Every single one of his senses is attuned to you and you alone, and nothing exists outside of the two of you kissing, the weight of your arms on his shoulders, the feeling of your nails lightly scraping at the nape of his neck, the rough feeling of your clothing beneath the pads of his fingers at your hips. Your lips press and slide against his constantly before parting for a few brief seconds, and he chases the faint swipe of your tongue against his bottom lip with his own, whining when you don't instantly give in to his demands.

By the time you nip at his lip he's completely given up on leading the kiss, opens his mouth and moans high and sweet when your tongue leaves a blazing trail of pure fire in its wake. His lips are kiss-bruised and tingling, the sensation imprinting on him that this was real, you were really kissing him, he wasn't going to suddenly wake up and realize it was all a dream.

When you pull away from him he follows you for a moment, stopping only when you cup his cheek in one hand and slide your thumb across his bottom lip. His gaze is glazed and he looks so thoroughly wrecked from simply getting kissed that you feel another surge of heat flood your system.

"Good?" Your whispered question barely makes it through to him, but when it does he blinks a few times to force the haze from his mind and nods, grip on your waist tightening, grounding him. You’ve never seen someone look more adorable.

“Yeah.” His voice is slightly hoarse and you give in to the urge to kiss his throat tenderly – when he tilts his head back with a sigh you trail your lips up to his jaw. “Yeah, it’s – great.”

You can feel the heat of his skin against your face, leave open-mouthed kisses from the spot under his ear (which makes him shiver in a way that you immediately catalogue in your mind) in a line down to the collar of the light-weight hoodie he’d worn for practice.

“I wish I could mark you up here..” Your lamentations are met with a literal fucking whine from Hui, one of his hands coming up to grip unsteadily at the crook of your arm like the mere comment had made him unsteady. “Oh? Is that something you’d want? For me to bruise you up so prettily that there’d be no way you could cover it?”

He nods, not trusting his own voice, head full of fantasies where you could do that, where you’d be able to sink your teeth into him, suck dark marks into his skin that wouldn’t fade and that his members would tease him about. (But even in his fantasies his members are there, a constant, and he knows that there’s no other timeline better than the one he’s currently living in.)

“Hwitaek.” You say his name softly, wrap a hand around the back of his neck to make him look at you – his gaze is disconnected, lingers on your lips before your silence registers as he meets your eyes. “I think we should talk about what we both want out of tonight.”

“Yeah – okay, okay.” Fondly, you watch as he takes a small step back and forces himself to become more present, a bit of clarity re-entering his eyes. You notice that he hadn’t stepped far enough away that either of you had to stop touching one another though, and it makes a part of your heart warm with affection. “That’s probably a good idea.”

He lets you lead him further into your house, glances around in interest but doesn’t stop you – he thinks (hopes) he’ll have more time later to become acquainted with this place.

“So, Hui –“ He perks up at you speaking to him, and it’s so cute that you have to stop just to recollect your thoughts. He peers around your room with thinly veiled interest but keeps glancing back at you like you’re the most interesting thing in existence. It’s flattering and adorable. “Considering we’ve talked about it before you know that I prefer to be more dominant, and you –“

“Find it incredibly hot?” He finishes your sentence for you, a happy little smirk on his face at your surprised expression as he darts in to kiss you once, quick and chaste and filled with delight.

“I – I was going to say, ‘you’re okay with it’, but what you said was so much better.” You’re smiling now too, still a bit shell-shocked – really, what sort of luck did you have for an incredibly attractive and sweet guy to also be down for being submissive for you? – but definitely not complaining. You cup his face in your hands and draw him towards you again for a sweet kiss – it lingers just on the side of ‘too passionate’, but neither one of you have enough self-control to reign it back in. You can feel his flush underneath your fingertips. “How did I ever get this lucky?”

“Should I say the cliché thing about thinking the same thing?” His voice is soft, one of his hands coming up to slip underneath your own, fingers curling around your palm. “Because I was.”

“You really are a hopeless romantic sometimes, you know that?” You couple your rhetorical question with another kiss – you were one hundred percent addicted to them now, you knew that for a fact. “We should really talk about what you’re comfortable with happening tonight, Hui.”

He must not be thinking clearly (he’s not, all he can think about is you and how you keep kissing him and how it’s all he’s ever wanted in his entire life) because he says “anything” in a strained whisper, breathless and needy before anything has even happened.

“Anything?” You can’t hide the surprise in your voice, though you try to soften it at the last second – he flinches anyway, like he was embarrassed with how eager he had come across, his gaze somewhere at your hip now. “’Anything’ is a dangerous thing to say, Hwitaek. What if all I wanted to do was finger-fuck you?”

He knows you were joking – he can hear it in your voice, the way you’ve tried to lighten the mood to make him more comfortable. He appreciates it, but it does absolutely nothing for him considering the effect your words had on him. “…I wouldn’t mind that.”

“Really?” Again you’re surprised, but this time you seem slightly eager – he raises his gaze to assess the situation, and yes, you did look interested. The excited, nervous little fire burning in his core feels a bit stronger suddenly. All he can do is nod, mute in the face of your presence, your power, your effortless aura that has him sinking down gratefully onto your bed at the slightest push of your hand against his chest.

Your fingers press at him, hard, and he feels breathless when they slide underneath his hoodie and t-shirt both in one go, hitch it up to above his navel. He thinks about all the marks you could leave on him there, hidden under clothing between promotions, and the sly grin you share with him when your fingernails rake a teasingly shuddering line down his side makes him think you have the exact same ideas he does.

Those two articles of clothing are lost quickly, dropped somewhere over the side of your bed as you kneel between his legs and kiss him until he can’t breathe, a wonderful feeling that has him drifting along in hazy bliss until he realizes what you’re doing.

“You’re a bit more dressed than I am, suddenly..” He tries to make it teasing but it comes out as something soft and reverent, and your lips when they smile at him are a slash of color that he can’t tear his eyes away from. He can feel your curious fingers dipping under the waistband of his athletic joggers and he does his best not to lose his fucking mind at the connotations of it.

“That’ll come. Later. Let me focus on you first, Hwitaek.” And how could he even argue with that? Why would he argue that? He’d have time to see your body later – and to be completely honest, he was perfectly happy with seeing however much of you that you were comfortable showing him.

(Still, he thinks, as you gently push him to lie down on your bed, he hoped you weren’t too uncomfortable with showing your body. As you drag the fabric of his briefs slowly down his legs he thinks about how much he really wants to eat you out, and what a shame it’d be if you weren’t comfortable with that. Regardless, he’d find some way to pay his respects to you and your body, even if his regular go-to’s turned out to not be an option.)

“You’ve done this before?” He doesn’t sound nervous, just questioning, having slung a  forearm across his eyes. You let him leave it there for now, knowing he must feel a bit vulnerable in his current position.

“Mhm, I have – and you?” It’s almost laughable how casually the two of you are speaking, like you hadn’t just been feeling him up and wasn’t currently in the middle of warming lube on your fingers. When he nods you hum and use your clean hand to grip him under the knee, pulling it up high enough you can place a kiss on the inside of it. An amused laugh leaves him in the form of a surprised exhale at the surprisingly tender action.

“I have – don’t worry, I’m not new to all of this.” You can’t see his eyes but you can see the rest of his face, see that he’s still smiling – you keep a close eye on his expression as you circle his rim teasingly, watching with rapt attention the way the smile disappears as he tenses with a soft sound that’s not quite a gasp before forcing himself to relax again.

“With women or men?” You keep it casual, careful to keep your voice unaffected, and he laughs again but it’s more disbelieving this time, pulls his legs up so his knees bracket you on either side.

“Yes.” Hui simply answers, and it’s your turn to laugh, your free hand smoothing soothing circles into his bare hip. You think he looks absolutely beautiful like this, spread out just for you and you alone, a small notch in his brow from the way his expression has twisted as you carefully slip your first finger in.

“You’re really cute like this, all vulnerable and naked for me.” You’re teasing him, testing the waters – from the way he flushes though, the little hitch upwards that his hips make, you think you might have just discovered something fun. “Hui, do you like me talking to you like that?”

He doesn’t answer you right away, moves his arm so he can look down at you between his legs. Something about it must get to him, because he just looks at you for a moment or two, like he was trying to imprint the visual in his mind.

“You can add another.” He says instead, all breathy and soft like you’d already ruined him, wrecked him into pieces. It’s incredibly endearing, you think, dropping your gaze to where his cock sits red and shiny and untouched against his lower stomach, a small mess of pre-cum already smeared onto his skin. That was also endearing.

“I’ve barely even stretched you yet..” Your disbelieving murmur is clearly heard by him, and you raise your gaze to meet his as you test the waters with a second finger. It’s definitely tight (tighter than you would have preferred, if only for his own safety), but Hui just moans and shifts his hips more towards you, digging into your pillow as he tips his head back. “Oh – Hui the size queen, huh? Is that it?”

He laughs, but it tapers off into a sound closer to a moan than anything else. “I don’t think I’ve ever been called that before.”

“Does it suit you?” You keep one hand splayed flat on one of his hips – he’s doing a wonderful job at not moving overly much, but by doing this you can feel every small tremor that goes through his body, can feel his muscles tense each time he forces himself to stay still. “If I end up fucking you one day am I going to have to make sure it’s sized big enough to totally wreck you?” Your question is coupled with an inquisitive upwards quirk of your fingers, and he nearly kicks you in surprise at the liquid arousal that floods through his body at the feeling. (You teasingly bite at his lower calf for it, and the soft sound he makes as you press your teeth into him is definitely something you file away for later.)

“I know you’re just teasing me, but -“ He licks his lips, tries to gather his focus again as you add a third finger. It burns in such an exquisite way that it’s hard to concentrate on anything else except for the current points of contact between you and him.

“Do you want me to stop?” A pause. “Hui, look at me.”

He obeys, meets your analyzing gaze and offers a slightly strained smile as he thinks about your question – though he doesn’t think for very long, a burst of wonderful, embarrassed heat curling across his chest and through his stomach when he lets his upper body drop back down to the bed, shaking his head ‘no’.

“Oh, Hwitaek..” You sound vaguely pitying, and he hates it, but he loves it. “You’re just a little boy who likes to be teased and humiliated, is that it?”

He feels so small with you talking to him like that, like his body was three sizes too big for his skin and he was burning up from the inside out – whenever the heat becomes too much all he has to do is open his eyes and see you looking at him (you’re always looking at him, and it takes his breath away because the way you watch him makes him feel like he’s something special, something that should be treasured) and suddenly everything was okay again. It was like you were the one stoking the flames of his desire, but you could also cause that blistering heat to ebb away whenever it became too much.

He realizes he hasn’t answered you yet and frantically nods, heart threatening to dissolve into something sticky and sweet at the way your expression softens.

“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but we’re not going to delve too deep into that tonight without talking about it in more detail later.” He nods, because he really does understand (despite the slight burst of disappointment) and he appreciates that you want to talk out what his limits are first. “Besides, how am I supposed to talk to you like that when you’ve been so good for me this entire time? So pretty and vocal.”

He can’t help the whine that tears itself from his throat at your phrasing – it didn’t matter what you were saying to him anymore, every single word embedded itself into his skin and worked its way through his body like an electric shock.

“Oh? Sweet boy - are you an adorable whore for both degradation and praise?” He doesn’t even bother saying anything this time, just shuts his eyes tight - he knows you already know the answer, can read him so well it’s almost like his desires were written out on his skin in black ink. “That’s so cute. You’re just so responsive to everything, aren’t you? I love that - anything I say or do I’ll get a direct response to, won’t I, Hwitaek?” You wait until he nods, his eyes still shut, before taking the opportunity given to you. Your lips press a teasing kiss into the line of his pelvis, giggling softly against his skin when he gasps above you. “Yeah, just like that. So beautiful, Hui, and all for me.”

Yes, all for you he thinks, and even his thoughts are getting mixed up and hazy now because you’ve wrapped your fingers around him loosely and he is so slick already, the feeling of your thumb swiping across the head of his cock, tracing the lines of precum down the shaft to where they’ve collected on his skin causing his entire body to twitch in a mess of stimulation.

“Oh, baby, you’re so wet for me already.” He can’t focus on anything, can’t think of anything, hears your voice through the haze like it’s faraway and he’s drifting underwater. He tries to force himself to be more present, tries to physically drag himself out of those depths, but you’re cooing at him sweetly and running your fingers over his cock softly, and any amount of shame he might have felt at having fallen so far into this headspace is eradicated by the sugar-laced kisses you press into his side.

“You really can’t keep quiet, can you?” Your voice is sweet but laced with amusement, and you can feel the way he throbs in your hand at the slightly degrading comment. “You sound like you’re going to cum just from three of my fingers – are you, baby? You going to make a mess of yourself before we even get to do anything?”

“Fuck..” Hui’s entire body feels like it’s on fucking fire, and when you duck your head to suck a bruise onto the inside of his thigh it’s all he can do to keep from crying out even louder. You were right, he couldn’t keep quiet, his head swimming and his fingers curled so tightly into your sheets that he could barely feel them anymore. “I’m –  you’re –“ He can’t concentrate, can barely speak, and he knows his words come out more as whines anyway.

“Do you think it’ll be okay if you cum now?” You’ve stopped moving entirely and his whole body feels like it’s buzzing, his hips trying to rock back onto your fingers or up into your hand with no real success as the haze slowly recedes from his mind enough for him to be able to form full sentences

“Y-yeah.” He pushes himself up onto his forearms to be able to look down at you, groan catching in his throat when he sees the way you’re peering at him openly, watching him with beautiful eyes and a graceful flush on your face, one of your hands slick with his pre-cum and the other still wickedly deep. He’d never been more sure of the fact that he loved you than this exact moment. “If – if you give me a little bit afterwards, it’ll be fine.” He knows he sounds breathless and wrecked already, but you smile so sweetly at him anyway, like he was something precious to you, and he feels like the ground and the bed he was lying on had just suddenly disappeared at the sight.

And then you’re lowering your head and wrapping your lips around him and it’s all he can do to keep his eyes open – you hadn’t eased him into it, hadn’t given him any indication of your plans at all. One moment you were asking him about his refractory period and the next you were doing things with your tongue and mouth that he couldn’t even begin to fathom, your fingers once again brushing against that spot deep inside of him that has him keening.

He’s not going to last much longer; he knows that with a sudden certainty that has him trying to warn you but is more disjointed pleas for you to not stop than they are anything else.

One of his hands grasps for your shoulder blindly when he hits his peak, fingers curling into your skin as he spills himself onto your tongue. It’s blindingly hot and you can see the way he fights to keep his eyes open to watch, brow furrowed and mouth open almost like he was in some sort of pained ecstasy as you continue to finger-fuck him through it until he’s trembling.

When you stick your tongue out at him tauntingly and show him the mess he made Hui groans from deep within his chest like you’re torturing him, sits up abruptly and crashes his mouth into yours. It’s messy and dirty and he licks into your mouth aggressively, chasing all essence of himself off your tongue and onto his own with a moan that rattles your bones. You do your best to withdraw your fingers as gently as possible but he whimpers at the feeling anyway, drops his head to begin kissing a sloppy trail from your jaw down to your neck.

“You’re so dirty..” Your head is spinning and you feel short of breath - each time you inhale his chest knocks against yours as he heaves his own breaths, though he refuses to pull away from your skin for long enough for him to be able to recover as quickly. You think you feel him murmur a soft sound of agreement to your statement against your collarbone.

As soon as you can wrest a big enough part of yourself back under control you lean back, holding him securely away with your thumb and forefinger gripping his chin. Hui looks at you with an expression of wrecked reverence, the perfect picture of debauchery, and you know that right here, right now, at five something am in your bedroom, he would do literally anything you asked – that at this point in time it was no longer your room, with the window showing glimpses of the outside world, the sounds of cars going past. This place, this moment in time, it was now something disconnected and intangible, where he had given you explicit trust (perhaps foolishly, considering how inchoate your relationship was) to control and lead him. To take care of him in whatever way you see fit.

And you know that right here, right now, in this nebulous place that the two of you occupied, you would strive to make sure he never regretted giving you that permission.

“Hwitaek.” Your voice is breathier than you expected – you sounded like you’d been kissed hard. You sounded like you were in love. “Hwitaek, you are messy and crude – you are such a dirty boy, and you’ve hidden that from me for years.” He is hanging off your every word and you suddenly feel like you have a choice to make.

It’s one you don’t think about for more than a second, because you realize that you don’t need to.

“And, Hwitaek – you are so perfect for me.”

.｡..｡. .｡..｡.

“You know something?” Hui says it casually, out of nowhere, hand still rubbing nonsense patterns into the skin of your lower back after having crept underneath your shirt some twenty minutes ago just for the skin to skin contact. He’s not focused on anything else but relaxing in his bed at the dorm with you, thoughts about producing and writing lyrics and being a leader far from his mind.

“Hmm?” Your head rests on his chest, listening to his heartbeat – it’s a comforting sound, if not slightly faster than average, and when you close your eyes you can hear it mix with the soft (and sometimes not so soft) sound of some of his boys arguing or laughing or just living somewhere else in the dorm, outside his shut door.

He still hasn’t spoken so you lift your head and gaze at him, admire his features as he looks back at you with an expression so tender you’re almost afraid to have the weight of it on you. His hair is back to brown now, cut a bit shorter than before, and you stretch an arm out to run your fingers through it lazily, watch as he leans into it but keeps looking at you.

“I think you’re perfect for me, too.” His voice is warm, probably what sunshine would sound like if it was an auditory thing, and you blink at him in confusion for a few moments before you understand what he’s referencing, press your smile into his until it turns into a gentle, surging kiss.

It’s not quite an I love you, something adjacent to it, almost there but not exactly.

And neither of you say those words yet, just smile and look at each other and press kiss after sugared kiss into each other’s skin, interlace your fingers and marvel at the way affection seems to blossom for one another in both your ribcages at the simplest of actions.

The two of you weren’t in any rush. You had time.

Journey Through The Flower Field: Part 4 (FINALE)

 MASTERLIST/OVERVIEW/SUMMARY

Warnings: food mentions and possible angst, mentions of burns

taglist: @nose-bandaid @reach4themoon @mythicalamphitrite

This flower field was supposed to be endless and always in bloom, but unfortunately, i, the reverent gardener have nothing but shaking hands and aching wrists to offer you -- i apologize for putting an end to your journey through this field so quickly, but before you leave, i promise to show you the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen! are you ready? but wait, wait! thank you for joining me on this journey. planting these flowers was tiring, but i honestly enjoyed every second of it. if you enjoyed it too, then that's even better for me :)

*keep count of all your fruits, from part 1 up until the end of this part, because your routes will branch here and it all depends on how many fruits you have!

**this is unedited so please don't let any grammar mistakes bother you too much, and i in advance. i will try to edit it soon!

i feel like listening to the Love or Take album while reading would make things super fun -- I listened to it while writing!

also idk why this became kind of Halloween themed LOL and i'm sorry that working on this has made my requests get backed up, i'll work on those asap!

After replying to a few of Hui's texts, you put down your phone. The poor boy has had to leave to go to another city for a musical project in the middle of the school year. You know his grades won't suffer though, because Hui is just... a genius when it comes to music. That's what he's studying anyway, so of course he'll be fine!

"So, the meeting's over!" Jinho announces to all of the members in his program who actually shown up. Many people leave immediately, but you nervously hang around, wanting to speak to Jinho. His sunflower smile draws you to him, and he waves excitedly when he notices you.

"[y/n]! You made it," he says, happily.

"I did! It's an important meeting, after all."

"Not everyone thinks that since it's just for the Halloween event. But how have you been?" he asks you.

"I've been okay! How have you been?"

"Well, busy! But okay, too."

As an upper-year who participates a lot in event organizing, you think that things must really be hard for Jinho.

"Is there any way I can help?" you ask him.

He bites his lip, wondering if he can really ask you for the favor he's thinking about.

"There is something, right? Just say it!"

"Well... could you help me through some of the equipment in here in preparing for the event?"

You immediately nod, but then stop yourself. I was supposed to play video games with Yuto tonight!

Do you cancel/postpone your plans with Yuto to help Jinho?

[help Jinho, keep reading] [game with Yuto, skip to AZALEA ]

[a/n]: you gained a strawberry but lost a blackberry!

"I can help you," you tell the boy, who smiles hearing your response.

"Really? That's great! Oh, okay, could you clean up this table first? I can't believe people didn't take their coffee cups with them...this one is full for heaven's sake!" Jinho whines, holding a half full coffee cup and tossing it out.

You chuckle and continue cleaning, ears twitching as Jinho starts to hum beautifully. You want to tell him that he has a nice voice but you're too scared, so you just keep to clean.

With the table cleared, you help Jinho sort out through all the boxes and items in the cupboards. A couple of times, your hand brushes up against his and you notice Jinho smiling. Maybe the light in the room is weird or is he... blushing?

After some time of cleaning in the club room at night, Jinho declares that the two of you can take a break. When you check your phone again, you notice a text from Hongseok, asking if you want to workout in the gym.

Do you join him?

[no, keep reading] [yes, skip to FREESIA ]

[a/n]: you gained a strawberry!

"[y/n]!" Jinho calls out, causing you to move your gauze away from your phone.

"Mmhmm?"

"Do you wanna go grab some coffee of our own?" he asks you, pulling on the strings of his hoodie.

"From Changgu's?"

Jinho nods with a :] smile.

"Let's go!" you agree, skipping out of the club room, leaving the building with Jinho by your side and entering the cool, night air. The empty campus makes you feel strangely alive, and hearing Jinho's laughter echo and bounce between the buildings makes you even happier.

"[y/n]," Jinho calls out to you from his spot to a couple of meters in front of you.

"What is it?" you ask.

"You look really pretty under the streetlights!" he says before running forwards towards the main street, where all the cafes and restaurants are.

His cute comment makes you giggle, and you race after him to catch up. When you finally reach his side, you notice that you're already in front of Changgu's cafe. Jinho opens the door for you, and you step inside. As always, Changgu has the ac on full blast, so you shiver slightly upon entering.

"Do you want my jacket?" Jinho asks you, already beginning to take off his denim.

You shake your head, no.

"It's okay, I'm going to get a warm drink anyway!" you reassure him.

"[y/n]! Jinho! How are you both?" Changgu asks you with a smile, fixing the collar of his black turtleneck.

"Good!" you both say at the same time, laughing afterwards.

As Jinho looks at the menu, Changgu's eyes widen as if he's just remembered something.

"Oh, [y/n]! It's actually a relief you came by, because I need someone to watch the coffee, again. I have to go meet with a supplier quickly."

You turn to Jinho, who continues to read the menu absentmindedly.

Do you watch the shop for Changgu?

[no, keep reading] [yes, skip to ROSE ]

"I'm sorry, I'm helping Jinho out right now, so I can't," you say, feeling bad.

Changgu reassures you by waving his hands around and shaking his head while saying, "It's okay! I can go another time."

After you and Jinho order some warm drinks, you leave Changgu's coffee feeling slightly apologetic. Jinho nudges you.

"You know, you're really nice, [y/n], staying by my side and helping me until the end."

Jinho seems to shy as he avoids your eyes while saying this, simply sipping on his drink right after speaking.

"Hey... that's what.. friends do," you say, nervously saying the word 'friends'. Jinho is an upper-year student after all, so you're being risky by saying this, but thankfully Jinho smiles at your comment.

"I'm so glad we're friends," he says, blushing for the millionth time under the moonlight.

Back in the club room as the two of you get to work, you crouch down over the box to rearrange it's contents.

"I wonder why there's a cowboy hat, empty alcohol bottles and a scarf in here-" It causes you to collapse with a grunt, and you feel Jinho yelping from behind you, too.

Behind you?

"[y/n], I'm so sorry, I fell! Why did I fall on top of you, I'm so sorry-" Jinho rambles, quickly trying to get up.

You turn around so your back is on the box instead and you're directly facing Jinho, who freezes as you do this.

"Jinho, it's okay! Wait, are you okay though? Did you get hurt?" you ask, holding onto his hands to stop his from tripping over again.

"I'm o-okay," he stutters, staring into your eyes. You only realize then that there's nothing but a few inches between your faces, and you feel a sudden urge to kiss his nose. Do you do it?

[yes, keep reading] [no, help him up, skip to DAISY ]

[a/n]: you gained a strawberry!

Jinho hiccups when you pull away, and you press your lips together, hard.

"Jinho, I'm sorry, you were just so cute that I had to-"

[skip to SUNFLOWER ]

DAISY

"Okay, I'm glad. Now let's get you back up," you say, carefully standing while helping Jinho up, too.

"I was trying to reach for something up in that cupboard, and I know, I'm flying backwards," Jinho says with a laugh. He's clearly flustered as he stands, touching the back of his neck.

"It's alright! It happens," you tell him, going back to the box.

[skip to SUNFLOWER ]

SUNFLOWER

"[y/n]?! You're in here?!" you hear the familiar voice panting by the door of the club room.

When you turn to see who it is, you find Yanan holding tightly to the doorframe while breathing heavily.

"Yanan? What are you doing here?"

Jinho peeks curiously between you and Yanan, wondering how you know this tall boy.

"I was trying to get home, and-" Yanan cuts himself off when he notices Jinho in the corner.

"Oh, is it okay if I tell you privately?" he whispers, holding onto your arm now that you've walked closer to him.

You look back at Jinho, who's still organizing things, and understand that Yanan doesn't want Jinho to hear.

"Jinho, I'll be back in a sec, okay?" you tell the smaller boy, who throws you a thumbs up as you step out into the hallway.

"What is it, Yanan?" you ask.

"Well... this is really embarrassing, but... I fell asleep at the library, and your friend, Shinwon woke me up. So I went to walk home, but... I'm super scared, [y / n]! The campus at night is so empty and dark and scary, so I ran into this building and luckily ran into you!"

You tried to hold back your laughter, finding Yanan so cute - Who would have thought that such a tall boy would be frightened by the dark?

"Well.. Do you feel okay now? Do you want some of my coffee to warm up?" you ask him.

Yanan shakes his head firmly.

"No! I just...is it okay if...well, would you be able to walk me home?" he asks you with wide, glittery eyes.

[yes, keep reading] [no, skip to LILY ]

[a/n]: you gained a cherry!

"Of course, Yanan! Just let me tell Jinho first. You wait out here... or come in if you'd like!"

You watch Yanan's tensed shoulders relax as you re-enter the club room, and his sight of relief brings a smile to your face. Without realizing it, you had been so worried about the pretty boy, but you're glad that you can be of some help to him now.

"Jinho, I'm sorry, I need to go, but if there's anything else I can help with, just let me know tomorrow, okay? Are you alright for me to leave you like this?"

Jinho nods with an earnest smile.

"I understand, [y/n]. You've already helped me so much today! Go and I'll see you again soon, thank you so much for today."

With a wave, he sends you off, and you leave to escort Yanan to his home.

"So Yanan, where do you live anyways?"

"My sleep is on the other side of campus, and it's super dark there at night. So I'm always in my sleep before it gets dark, and I never leave until the morning!"

You chuckle, and Yanan throws you a questioning look.

"You're unexpectedly cute, you know," you say, reaching up to ruffle his hair. He squeezes his eyes tightly shut as you do so, but doesn't pull your hand away.

"You think I'm cute?" he quietly asks, taking long strides with a smile on his face.

"Yeah," you hum.

"Am I cuter or are you cuter?" he asks you, walking backwards so he can carefully study your face.

"Hmm... well, I'm pretty damn cute if I do say so myself!" you say, cringing at your own words two seconds later.

"I agree, [y/n]," Yanan says, gently patting the top of your head.

Before you know it, you're right in front of the door of Yanan's dorm building.

"Well, walking with you made the sleep seems so much closer than it is... thank you, [y/n]. I'm honestly super thankful that you sat next to me on that first day of class, and that I happened to be sleeping in the spot next to yours," Yanan reminisces.

Suddenly, he steps forward and tightly hugs you, burying his face into your shoulder, but ever so slightly so not to bother you in case you hate it.

All of a sudden, there's the rumbling of thunder and Yanan squeezes you even more tightly than he already was. You can feel his body shaking and you pull away so you can get a look look at his face. His eyes are tightly squeezed shut and his mouth is wobbling.

"Yanan! Yanan, are you okay? What's wrong?"

"The thunder... I hate the thunder," he tells you, whimpering.

"Let's get you inside so you won't have to hear it-"

"It's even louder from my room. I hate sleeping alone during a storm. Please, [y/n], don't leave me..."

["I'll only escort you to your room", keep reading]

["If you let me, I'll stay the night", skip to AZURE BLUE SAGE ]

"I'll only escort you to your room, Yanan... I hope that's okay, but I won't let you be alone, okay? When you get frightened, just call me. , okay? Or put on a show and turn up the volume so you won't hear the thunder."

Yanan nods, thankful for your kindness as you grab onto his shoulders and step into his dorm building. He quietly tells you his room number and you're able to quickly find it, trailing him into his room behind him and helping him take off his coat.

"I'll make you a hot drink before I leave," you tell him, filling and turning on the kettle on top of his drawer.

He doesn't have a kitchen, but he's smart to have his own kettle.

"I'm going to play the show I always like... and then maybe I'll be okay," Yanan says to himself.

"If you use earbuds, it might be better. You also won't make the people next door angry!" you advise.

"Ah...my earbuds? Where are they?" Yanan asks, feeling around in his backpack but not finding anything.

You reach into your pocket with a smile and hand him your own, since you have a lot of spares anyway.

"Thank you, [y/n]. I'm sorry I'm such a coward.."

"You're not a coward, Yanan. Cowards don't study 'till they fall asleep in libraries."

Yanan smiles and shakes his head, plugging your earbuds into his phone.

AZALEA

[a/n]: you gained a blackberry but lost a strawberry!

"Ah, actually, Jinho, I have plans with Yuto tonight. But if there's still anything I can help out with tomorrow, just let me know okay?" you tell the boy.

He looks slightly disappointed, but smiles with his pretty marshmallow face and tells you that it's okay and he'll definitely text you.

Speed-walking through campus, you almost drop your phone as you try to pull it out of your pocket and answer Yuto's call.

"[y/n], you're coming, right? I've got everything ready!" he says excitedly.

"You bet! I'll be there in five," you tell him before hanging up.

The cool breeze pushes you forward as it hits you from behind, and you walk even faster. You haven't played games with Yuto in a while, so you're super excited.

[skip to TULIP ]

FREESIA

[a/n]: you gained a banana but lost a strawberry!

Quickly moving your fingers across the keyboard, you tell Hongseok that you'll meet him at the gym.

"Jinho, I'm afraid I have to leave today. I was supposed to work out but forgot about it until now... I can postpone it if there's something you urgently need help with?"

Jinho firmly shakes his head.

"You've helped a lot so far, [y/n]! I think I can take it from here. Have fun and be safe at the gym!"

You quickly rush out into the dark campus, running to the gym and closing your jacket against the cool breeze of the night. When you get there, you quickly get there and notice Hongseok staring at the big notice board in front of the treadmills.

"Hongseok! What are you looking at?"

"Oh! You're here?" Hongseok says, grinning as soon as he sees you.

"I'm here!"

"Apparently they have some sort of event couples going on? Do you want to join?"

"Are we a couple?" you nervously ask, your heart rate increasing even though you haven't begun working out.

"Well, no, not yet but it seems fun!" he says, mumbling something in the middle that you don't quite catch.

Do you join the event with Hongseok?

[yes, keep reading] [no, skip to CARNATION ]

[a/n]: you gained a banana!

“Let's do it! Wait, what do we have to do?”

Hongseok laughs.

“I can't believe you accepted without even knowing what we have to do, you silly,” he says, patting your head.

“It's a relay type of thing? We have to run on the treadmill on a certain speed at a certain inclination. The first person runs as much as they can, and then the second person takes over. Whichever pair is able to run for the longest time wins!”

“That's right! Are you two interested in signing up?” a worker with a clipboard in her hands asks. 

Hongseok nods and fills in both of your names.

“Go ahead and step onto any treadmill you'd like. It's lucky you came today, since today is the last day to participate. It ends in 2 hours,” the worker says, pointing to the clock.

Hongseok nudges you, clearly proud of how he's brought here on this day at this time.

You step up first, vowing to run as long as you can.

“Just pace yourself, [y/n]! We've trained on the treadmill a lot,” Hongseok tells you.

As you begin, Hongseok cheers you on, but it makes you laugh and you yell at him to stop, so he does. Instead, he refills your water bottle any time it's almost empty and stays by your side. You're glad he isn't staring at you, since that would make you more nervous. Instead, he looks somewhere behind you, and you don't realize that he's actually looking at the clock.

Eventually, you feel as though you've reached your limit and hop off so Hongseok can run. He throws you a wink before hopping on, but then gets extremely serious as he runs. When you check the time, you realize that you've been able to run for 30 minutes! That is no easy feat, so you smile until you notice the leading time on the clipboard: 1 hour and 15 minutes.

“Hongseok! You have to run for... 45 minutes! If we want to win.... can you do it?” you ask him, leaning in quite close on the treadmill.

Hongseok just simply smirks and continues to run. You get the feeling that you'll be able to do it, as long as Hongseok runs for 15 minutes longer than you did, of course.

In the end... well, what would you expect?! Of course Hongseok makes it! He hops off the treadmill, definitely not looking like he's just been running for 45 minutes, though his hair is slightly damp.

“I could run for another hour if I had to,” he says. 

You pat his head and tell him that he did well -- the worker tells you that the two of you did indeed get the fastest time, and that there will be a prize.

"What's the prize?" you ask, looking at Hongseok.

“My heart,” Hongseok says, holding up a finger heart. Both of you turn away and laugh, finding Hongseok's actions to be extremely cringey.

"The prize is a pair of matching Halloween costumes!" the worker says, holding too very strange looking customs in her hands.

"What is that?" Hongseok asks, reaching out to see what it could be.

“It's a buff costume of sorts? I'm not even sure how to explain it myself."

Just as the worker said, the costume is a full, buff body suit. You laugh at the simple sight of it being in your hands.

"Well... are you gonna wear this with me on Halloween?"

[yes, keep reading] [no, skip to HYACINTH ]

[a/n]: you gained a banana!

“You bet! We're both gonna look really weird, but together ,” you say. 

Hongseok laughs and nods, showing that he definitely agrees.

“Do you want to work out a bit more and then leave? We didn't get to focus on our arms like we planned to do,” he says, pointing to the weight training section.

"Let's do it!" you say. 

Even though you're tired, you feel pumped up from having won an event, even if it was a couple one and you're not even dating Hongseok. Well... the thought of the worker thinking that the two of you are a couple... does make you feel some kind of way :")

“[y/n]? Are you coming?” Hongseok asks you, already starting to lift some weights.

You walk over and pick up two for yourself, not too heavy and not too light. Just the way you like it.

After making fun of Hongseok's face and grunts while he tries his best to lift, the two of you shower and leave, holding these chunky costumes in your house and dying of laughter

"The thing is, you're already buff, so wearing this... what will that do for you?" you tell Hongseok, who smirks.

"So you're admitting I'm buff?"

“Well, we all know that,” you say, rolling your eyes.

Hongseok still seems proud of himself after hearing his words.

Since his sleep is closer, the two of you make it to his doorstep first.

“Oh well…it's dark out and your dorm is far. I was thinking.. you could stay the night if you want! But only if you want, though,” Hongseok explains, somewhat nervously.

[yes, skip to FORSYNTHIA ] [no, skip to CHRYSANTHEMUM ] 

ROSE

[a/n]: you gained a blueberry!

"I can watch the cafe for you, Changgu, it's in the big deal!" you say, wanting to do even just one favor for your friend.

Yet you turn to Jinho, feeling bad.

“[y/n], it's okay! You've helped me a lot, already. Plus, you can just come back tomorrow if you're feeling bad,” he explains.

You nod along, but remember that you also postponed your gaming session with Yuto to tomorrow, so you'll have to decide between the two of them then. The thought makes you sigh, but Jinho thinks it's because of him.

“[y/n], it's really okay! Watching Changgu's cafe is super important right now,” he says, thanking Changgu for the drink before excusing himself.

“I'm sorry for putting you through so much trouble, [y/n],” Changgu says, quickly putting on his coat.

“No no, it's okay! I'll be here, you take your time,” you tell him, finding a spot for yourself to sit comfortably as you wait. 

You scroll through your phone to keep yourself occupied and awake, even though you feel quite drowsy. Thankfully though, Changgu doesn't take too long too long to arrive.

“You can study here for the rest of the night if you brought your books! Thank you so much, [y/n],” he tells you, hugging you out of the blue.

His jacket feels cold and his cheek is too as he presses it against yours. The hug feels so tender that you don't really want to let go, but Changgu himself eventually pulls away.

[stay and study, keep reading] [go back to Jinho, skip to ORCHID ]

[a/n]: you gained a blueberry!

“Wait you're right! I have my backpack with me but I didn't even study... I completely forgot,” you say, opening your bag right there and then.

You can hear Changgu laughing softly as he turns on the coffee machine.

“You're so cute, [y/n]. I'll make you a drink, since I didn't get to earlier, okay?”

Hearing that you're cute from Changgu makes you melt a little inside, since Changgu is, well, quite cute himself. But you push those thoughts away as you start to study.

Changgu keeps to himself and doesn't distract you, simply cleaning after he brings you your drink. He doesn't notice when you fall asleep two hours later until he approaches you to ask how it's going.

“[y/n], is the studying-oh... you've fallen asleep?”

“I have to close soon, but I'll let you sleep for a bit,” he whispers, pulling up a chair so he can sit next to you. 

He watches you silently for a few moments, admiring all of your features before he thinks to himself that you might hate him for doing this. So he stops, even though you're asleep and won't ever know what he's doing.

Eventually, he wakes you up, giggling at your half-closed eyes when he tells you that the two of you have to leave.

“I swear I studied hard,” you say, stretching.

“I know you did... studied so hard that you fell asleep,” he points out.

“And you worked so hard today that your hair is a mess,” you say, reaching up and ruffling his hair.

[a/n]: you gained a blueberry!

Changgu blushes, pushing your hand away shyly.

“I had to run to meet the supplier, that's why,” he explains.

“Sure,” you say.

[skip to DAFFODIL ]

LILY

[a/n]: you lost a cherry!

“I'm so sorry, Yanan, but I can't walk you home right now... I'm in the middle of helping Jinho and I-”

“I get it, it's fine,” Yanan says, cutting you off.

“Do you want to call me? I can talk to you as you walk home,” you offer, but Yanan shakes your head.

“I understand you're busy, it's fine. I'll just get home myself.”

Yanan leaves and you walk back to the club room, feeling slightly bad but understanding that you need to help Jinho right now.

After sorting through all the boxes for one more hour, listening to Jinho belt out some really pretty songs and recording him (you said you would post it to youtube and would make him go viral - Jinho laughed so hard he almost fell over), you finally finish up.

“Let's go home now! We both worked super hard. You deserve an award, [y/n]!” Jinho says, stretching.

“An award? What kind of award?” you ask, curious.

"An award... for helping your friend out even when no one else wanted to?"

“I accept the award! Thank you, Jinho.”

“Any time.. Wait, no, thank you for helping,” Jinho corrects himself, giving you a small hug before stepping out.

"See you soon!" you say, grabbing your bag and heading the other way.

"See you!"

AZURE BLUE SAGE

[a/n]: you gained a cherry!

“If you let me, I'll stay the night,” you tell Yanan as you hold onto his sleeve.

He nods slowly and opens the door to his dorm building, letting you in first before he trails after you. He also lets you into his current sleep first, shyly clearing any mess away so you won't think he's a slob or something.

“You can sleep on my bed, [y/n]. I'll sleep on the couch, since I actually sleep on there a lot,” Yanan says before wincing as another roll of thunder shakes the building.

“How about we both just sleep in your bed? I don't want you to get scared and then I don't know about it,” you mumble.

“Ah, here are some clean, comfy clothes of mine. You can change into them in the washroom and come out whenever you're ready. I'll quickly change in here, too.”

After getting changed, you step into Yanan's room feeling a little uncomfortable in his big clothes, hoping he won't laugh at you. He looks up from his couch and smiles, complimenting you for looking even better in his clothes than he does.

“Stop, Yanan, you're being dramatic!” you tell him. 

He continues to smile at you, though.

"Are you sleepy now?" Yanan asks you, walking over to the kettle on his drawers.

“Not really…that's a weird place for a kettle,” you point out.

“There's no kitchen in here, but I wanted to have a kettle handy for instant ramen and all that... oh, speaking of ramen! Do you want some?”

You consider it and accept, feeling hungry after helping Jinho for half of the day.

Once Yanan has prepared it, the two of you sit at his small table and eat while watching a show that Yanan has been watching. Even though he's already many episodes in, you're still able to laugh at all the funny parts and understand the general plot. Plus, it's cool to see the kinds of things your classmate, Yanan is into!

Bellies full and now feeling sleepy, the two of you head to bed. Yanan makes you take the side closest to the wall in case you fall off at night, and he sleeps beside you. You try to scooch over as close to the wall as you can so Yanan will have enough space, but he holds onto you, stopping you from moving.

“Just be comfortable, [y/n],” he tells you.

But you find it hard to be comfortable when he's practically cuddling into your side.

There's the loud sound of thunder again, and Yanan holds onto you more tightly. You can feel him shaking, and your first instinct is to pat his hair and run your fingers through it slowly, hoping he'll be able to fall asleep.

“It's okay, Yanan. I'm right here; nothing will happen to you,” you say.

The sky seems to grow quiet and Yanan is able to fall asleep, but you don't sleep until he does.

DAFFODIL - THE NEXT DAY

What will you do?

[see if Jinho needs more help, keep reading] 

[game with Yuto, skip to TULIP ]

[a/n]: you gained a strawberry!

When you wake up the next day, your mind first wanders to Jinho, and how he might still need help. Perhaps there's still a few things he missed or did not get to do...

So you text him to tell him you're coming, and he responds thanking you and telling you that there's actually still a lot to do.

Reading this, you get ready even quicker than you usually do, washing your face and throwing on clothes before running out until you realize you've completely missed breakfast.

Do you stop somewhere on the way to buy Jinho's favorite strawberry waffle for his breakfast in case he didn't eat?

[yes, skip to GARDENIA ] [no since ur running late, keep reading]

You ignore this and run to campus, not wanting to leave Jinho cleaning up alone for too long.

When you arrive, you find him sitting in the middle of a lot of boxes, sorting through things.

"There's still this many boxes to go through?" you ask him as he greets you.

“Yeah.. I can't believe I missed all of this, but it was in the storage room behind me.”

“Why did you forget to check the storage room?” you ask, shaking your head at the boy's forgetfulness.

“I don't know.. we have so many midterms when Halloween happens and I'm so worried,” he says with a sad pout.

You pat his head before sitting beside him.

“It's okay, Jinho! You've always done well and finished everything on time, so I'm sure you'll do the same this time, too.”

He smiles hearing your words, and seeing his cute teeth makes you laugh.

“Jinho, you have the prettiest smile,” you blurt out, quickly turning to the boxes as a distraction from your risky words.

“Thank you, [y/n]. You're probably only the person who can make me smile that way, though,” he says, also avoiding your gauze.

[a/n]: Ah, what should I do with the two of you... are you trying to melt me ​​​​​​with your shy flirting battle or what?!

After finally cleaning things up, you check your phone and notice a text from Hyunggu:

Hyunggu: Hey, [y/n]! wanna go to a botanical garden with me? it has pretty flowers!

"Jinho, I'll be leaving first!" you tell your senior, who waves in response.

[botanical garden, keep reading] [i have to see Shinwon, skip to MARIGOLD ]

[a/n]: you received a grape!

sure , you text Hyunggu back, making your way to the student center to meet him.

Once you find him there, he grabs your hand and starts running.

“The bus will leave soon if we don't hurry up!” he tells you.

"What made you want to go to this garden today?" you ask him while running.

“It's for a class!”

After just barely catching the bus, the two of you take some time to also catch your breaths while sitting down.

“We have to learn flower languages, and I thought it would be fun if you came with me,” Hyunggu tells you.

"Do I have to pay for the entry?" you tease him.

He shakes his head, no.

“I got two tickets with me!” he says, holding them up high.

You notice the people staring at Hyunggu on the bus, and you quickly lower his hand. He just laughs, not minding the attention since he doesn't care too much for anything other than you when he's in your presence !! :)

When you finally get to the garden and step inside, the flowers are so pretty that it overwhelms you. You and Hyunggu are so excited, squealing to yourselves and running around that you almost, almost get kicked out. Hyunggu saves your butt, though, by telling the security guard that it's your first date and you're both just super excited.

You then begin to wonder if this is truly a date... but Hyunggu snaps you out of your daze by pointing to the top of your head.

"What is it?" you ask, getting worried.

“It's…a butterfly,” he whispers, quickly pulling out his phone.

"Let me take a photo!"

He takes one and immediately makes it his lockscreen, which leads to you chasing him around the garden and the two of you getting kicked out for real.

“I'm not even sad, because that was so much fun,” Hyunggu says, throwing his arm around your shoulder.

“Hyunggu, you didn't even get to do what you had to for your class,” you point out.

“Oh well. I'll tell them I tried-oh, there's the bus!” he says, suddenly running again.

TULIP 

[a/n]: you gained a blackberry!

"Yuto, what are we playing?" you ask him from his doorway. 

He turns to you with a big smile that makes your heart melt, holding up your favorite game. You cheer and race into the room with your fists raised, and Yuto laughs as he puts the game into the gaming system.

Sitting beside him on his bed, you furiously play the game against him, vowing that you'll win and that Yuto has to buy your favorite dessert sometime if you do.

“Halloween is around the corner, [y/n],” Yuto says as you take a break from the game for a bit.

[”What do you wanna be?”, keep reading]

[”Let's be matching game characters!”, skip to CASSIA ]

"What do you wanna be?" you ask him.

Yuto stares out the window across from his bed, clearly deep in thought.

"A cat?" he suggests with a smile.

“That's so basic!” you yell, ruffling his hair.

He squeezes his eyes shut and grins.

“But it suits you,” you admitting, patting his soft hair, now. 

Truly, you think to yourself that Yuto must have been a cat in his past life or something.

“Yeah, and you always treat me like a cat with the number of times you pet me,” he says, pointing to his hand that still hasn't left the top of his head.

“Yeah, and you always bite me for no reason-ow! Stop!” you screech as Yuto sinks his teeth lightly into your arm.

“It's how I show love, I told you this before,” Yuto says nonchalantly, leaning back on his bed.

You shake your head at him and pull out your phone to check a message.

[botanical garden, keep reading] [i have to see Shinwon, skip to MARIGOLD]

CARNATION

“I'm not feeling up to running hard on the treadmill right now, Hongseok, I'm sorry,” you tell him.

He pouts but nods, understanding your feelings precisely.

"Should we go train our arms like we planned to then?" he asks you, already walking ahead.

You nod, but pause before following him. A couples' event... why did Hongseok want you to participate with him?

“[y/n]? Are you coming?” Hongseok asks you, already starting to lift some weights.

You walk over and pick up two for yourself, not too heavy and not too light. Just the way you like it.

After making fun of Hongseok's face and grunts while he tries his best to lift, and Hongseok calling you 'strong baby' several times because he claims you look cute when you exercise, the two of you shower and leave.

"Why do you have to keep calling me 'strong baby'?" you ask him as you walk across campus to his dorm, since it's closer.

“Well…you're baby, but you're also strong. What else should I call you?” he explains, gently poking your cheek.

You take hold of his finger and threaten to bite it, and Hongseok jumps backwards, yelling at you.

“I didn't even do anything!” you defend yourself.

Hongseok walks a few steps ahead of you, acting like you scare him.

“Hongseok, just come back! I don't like walking back here on my own,” you whine.

“Okay, baby,” he says, walking back and carefully patting your head.

Once you're at the doors to his sleep, Hongseok turns to you.

“Oh well…it's dark out and your dorm is far. I was thinking.. you could stay the night if you want! But only if you want, though,” Hongseok explains, somewhat nervously.

[yes, skip to  FORSYNTHIA ] [no, skip to  CHRYSANTHEMUM ] 

FORSYNTHIA

[a/n]: you gained a banana!

“I wouldn't mind checking out Hongseok's dorm for once,” you tell him, wiggling your eyebrows around.

He laughs and shakes his head at you, opening the door so you can enter first.

Hongseok's dorm is exactly what you thought it would be - full of small exercising equipment like weights, even though its dorm is the closest to the campus gym. It's also fairly neat and well-organized.

“Were you expecting me to come? Why is this place so clean?” you ask, sitting down on his head.

“Well, I'm just a clean-cut guy,” Hongseok says, shrugging his shoulders at you.

"What do you do for fun in this place?" you ask, fully laying yourself down on his bed.

“I cook, I eat, I watch shows… pretty normal human stuff,” Hongseok explains, putting his things down and reaching for his closet so he can get changed.

“Gosh, well I had no idea you were human,” you tease, almost choking as you watch Hongseok shamelessly take his shirt off right in front of you to change.

“What? Haven't seen a human's torso before?” Hongseok asks, smirking.

“Sir, not in front of my salad! I wasn't expecting you to just start stripping out of nowhere,” you splutter, sitting up.

“I swear you've seen my chest before, [y/n]. Especially since we always workout together.”

“Nope. Have definitely not seen it. I would've remembered if I did,” you blurt out.

"So you're gonna remember this?" he teases you.

“Whatever,” you say, throwing a pillow at him.

After also changing into some of Hongseok's extremely large clothes, the two of you sit together as you can comfortably on his small bed to watch something on his laptop. Seeing Hongseok laugh at all the unfunny jokes and nudge you each time somehow makes you even happier than the show you're watching does.

“[y/n], stop staring at me,” Hongseok finally says.

“I'm not,” you say, moving your eyes away from the boy's soft, caramel cheek.

“If you say so,” he says.

You end up falling asleep while staring at Hongseok, and your head slowly falls on his shoulder. He smiles as he feels the weight on his right side, quickly turning off the show and doing his best to comfortably tuck you in while you're asleep.

He hovers his hand over your head, intending to ruffle your hair but ruffling the air instead. I don't want to wake you, but you look so cute right now , he thinks to himself.

CHRYSANTHEMUM

“I'm not really feeling up to it, Hongseok. But thanks for the offer!” you say.

He nods.

“Fair enough! It's been a super long day, I understand. See you soon and go home safely!” the boy says, sending you off with a wave.

He blows a kiss at you before he closes the door to his dorm building, and you make a fist with your hand, threatening to punch him. The sound of his laughter echoes outside the building, even though the door is closed by the time he bursts out laughing.

ORCHID

[a/n]: you gained a strawberry!

“I think I should go back on Jinho. There was a lot of work to do,” you say, grabbing your things.

“Oh right! Do you want to take some snacks with you?”

You shake your head, no.

“I'm pretty sure he'll be asleep, so there'll be no one to eat the snacks,” you say, chuckling.

Changgu gives you a puzzled look, but when you get back to the club room and find Jinho asleep, you give yourself a quiet pat on the back for predicting this correctly.

[wake him up, keep reading] [clean up for him, skip to JASMINE ]

"Jinho!" you call out softly, gently shaking the boy's shoulder.

His eyelids flutter open and he stretches, pushing the box that he was resting his head on away.

“I fell asleep,” he mumbles to himself, standing up.

“You did,” you say, chuckling.

"You came back?" he asks you, putting some things away.

"Of course I did!" you say, quickly helping him out.

You watch Jinho smile. He tries to hide it by looking away, but you can't miss that pretty smile of his!

After quickly working together, you're able to clear the place in half an hour.

“Thanks for coming back to help, [y/n]! I wouldn't have been able to do this without you,” Jinho says, giving you a tight hug and burying his face into your shoulder.

You stumble backwards at your upper year's affection, but hug the small boy back. You hope he can't hear the hammering of your heartbeat in your chest.

[skip UP to DAFFODIL ]

GARDENIA

[a/n]: you received a strawberry!

Deciding that Jinho must be hungry as heck, you quickly run to a nearby breakfast place to buy him his favorite strawberry waffles.

"I'm running late, I know, but it's for a good reason!" you say into your phone, sending Jinho a quick voice note before you pull open the door to the breakfast place and wait in line.

Once you finally have the waffles, you carefully but quickly make your way to campus, not wanting to ruin the precious waffles.

When you arrive, you find Jinho sitting in the middle of a lot of boxes, sorting through things.

"There's still this many boxes to go through?" you ask him as he greets you.

“Yeah.. I can't believe I missed all of this, but it was in the storage room behind me.”

“Why did you forget to check the  storage  room?” you ask, shaking your head at the boy's forgetfulness.

“I don't know.. we have so many midterms when Halloween happens and I'm so worried,” he says with a sad pout.

You pat his head before sitting beside him.

“It's okay, Jinho! You've always done well and finished everything on time, so I'm sure you'll do the same this time, too.”

He smiles hearing your words, and seeing his cute teeth makes you laugh.

“Jinho, you have the prettiest smile,” you blurt out, quickly turning to the boxes as a distraction from your risky words.

“Thank you, [y/n]. You're probably only the person who can make me smile that way, though,” he says, also avoiding your gauze.

[a/n]: Ah, what should I do with the two of you... are you trying to melt me ​​​​​​with your shy flirting battle or what?!

“Oh, the reason I'm running late! I got you some waffles for breakfast,” you tell him, picking up the bag of food from where you left it on the meeting table and pushing it in front of him.

He smiles shyly up at you, and you know exactly what he's thinking.

“It's the strawberry waffle, don't worry.”

Jinho excitedly giggles hearing this, rubs his hands together and quickly tears the bag open to eat.

"You also had some breakfast yourself too, right?" he asks you while chewing on a mouthful of food.

“Oh… actually, I sort of forgot,” you admit, scratching the back of your neck.

“You forgot? You went to a breakfast place and forgot to buy breakfast for yourself?!” Jinho asks, shocked.

“I guess I was too focused on just buying food for you,” you mumble.

Jinho cuts up a neat part of the waffle and holds it up to you.

“Have some! Breakfast is super important, you know.”

You take the forkful and get mad at yourself for feeling so excited over this indirect kiss.

After finally cleaning things up and eating a rushed breakfast of Jinho's leftovers, you check your phone and notice a text from Hyunggu:

Hyunggu: Hey, [y/n]! wanna go to a botanical garden with me? it has pretty flowers!

"Jinho, I'll be leaving first!" you tell your senior, who waves in response

MARIGOLD

On your way to the library to talk to Shinwon about something work-related, you find Yanan studying in a sunlit corner. He has his earbuds in and gently nods his head to the beat, lips softly whispering aloud whatever it is that he's reading in his textbook.

Not wanting to disturb him but also not wanting to miss the chance to say hello, you carefully walk up to him and wave in front of him to catch his attention.

“Hm? [y/n]?” he greets you, looking up with dazed eyes.

“Hi Yanan! How are you?” you ask him, placing a hand on the back of his chair. He shudders slightly as he feels the back of your hand touching his shoulder blade.

"I'm good, just studying...how are you?"

“I'm good, too! Just here to run an errand.”

Yanan hesitates slightly before asking if you want to grab a bite to eat.

“I need a break from studying, too!” he explained.

[no, see Shinwon, keep reading] [yes, skip to HOLLY ]

“I'm sorry, Yanan, but I really need to go the thing I need to do,” you tell him, promising that you'll eat with him next time.

After saying goodbye, you find Shinwon putting books back in the sciences section.

“[y/n]!” he yells loudly, apologizing when people yell at him for being so loud.

Seeing you laugh at his embarrassment makes him smile and blush an even deeper shade of red as he finally approaches you.

"What are you doing here?" he asks.

[“I wanna change my shifts to work when you aren't here, keep reading]

[”I wanna change my shifts to match whenever you work”, skip to WILLOW ]

“I wanna change my shifts to work when you aren't here because I get distracted,” you explain.

[a/n]: oh no! you lost a lime :(

"Oh...am I that annoying?" Shinwon asks you, nervously lauhing.

You shake your head.

"It's just hard to focus when I have a friend in my sight at all times."

Hearing the word 'friend' being used on him by you breaks his heart somehow.

“Ah, well I'll write a note here for the head librarian. Anyway, [y/n], I'm glad I saw you, because I was just going to text you!” Shinwon explains, searching his pockets for something.

He pulls out a credit card that you recognize to be the library's, and you gasp.

“What's that doing in your hands?!” you ask him.

“We need to buy some new books for the library! Do you want to come with me?” Shinwon asks.

[no, keep reading] [yes, skip to MIDDLEMIST RED ]

"I can't go today, Shinwon, I'm sorry!" you tell the boy, who nods and tells you that he'll see you soon.

Instead, you run to Changgu's cafe to pay him a quick visit. Despite the coffee being busy on a weekend, he literally stops taking orders just to say hi to you, and some of the regulars who are lines up don't even bat an eye. They recognize you by now as the person who Changgu always has to say hi to. 

You let Changgu take orders and wait for things to calm down, passing time by looking around at the always unchanging but pristine decor.

“[y/n], do you want to learn how to make a drink?” Changgu asks you.

[yes, for Yanan, keep reading] [yes, for you, skip to TANSY ]

"Yeah!" you say, thinking of Yanan studying in the library. 

Thinking of the drinks you've always seen him with in class, you ask Changgu if he can teach you how to make this drink that Yanan always likes.

“Sure! So first, we need to warm this up,” Changgu says, putting what he's talking about into your hands.

"And we do it here."

For a whole fifteen minutes, Changgu hovers behind you, his arms practically wrapped around you as he guides your hands with his and shows you how to pour things and how much to pour. His hands feel cold and you can tell he's nervous, but they still feel so soft. Seeing his hands holding yours makes you feel kind of soft. It's like ah, so this is what my hands look like when he's holding them... Even though the coffee is packed, it really just feels like it's only the two of you there.

“Changgu, I actually have to leave now, but thank you for spending all this time with me,” you tell the fluffy-haired boy after your drink for Yanan is finally finished.

“Anytime! Seeing you always makes me happy,” he says, smiling brightly as he sends you off.

You run to the library, hoping that Yanan is still studying there. Yet after returning to the spot where he was, you don't find him there. Even after searching the whole library, you notice he's not there at all. Feeling a little sad with the drink in your hand, you lean against the desk, wondering what to do, until you realize.

[skip to POPPY ]

POPPY

You go to the gym for your workout, meeting Hongseok there and finding him on the treadmill, already.

“[y/n]!” he calls, smiling and waving to you as he walks at a steady pace.

“Hongseok! Are you done for the day or just starting?”

“I'm just starting. Care to join me?”

You nod and hop on the treadmill beside him, raising the speed to a pace you're comfortable with. After walking for a few minutes facing forwards, you can feel that Hongseok has been staring at you, so you turn to him and he continues looking at you with a smile.

"What is it?" you ask him.

“You're just...really attractive,” he says, not even stuttering.

You, on the other hand, almost trip over but catch yourself thanks to Hongseok and his strong arm that reaches out to help you. He laughs.

“No need to get so flustered!”

"Me? Flustered? Never!” you scoff. But you know that flustered was the exact word to describe your emotions.

Suddenly, Hongseok's hand reaches out to pat down its hair, claiming that a part of it was sticking out. Really, he just wanted to stroke your hair. 

After your sweaty and very flirt-filled workout (thanks to Hongseok) comes to an end, Hongseok grabs onto your hand before you leave.

"Do you wanna go to a dessert place I really like?" he asks you, eyes bright and wide.

“Dessert? After a workout?” you ask, laughing at his excited state.

“Yes! We burned those calories to eat more, right?"

[”if you say so”, keep reading] [”nope, i'm going home!” skip to STATICE ]

[a/n]: you gained a banana!

"If you say so!" you tell him, letting him drag you by your sleeve.

Hongseok making fun of his trainer and you laughing along despite never having met this trainer.

“He's always telling me to do more and that I'm weak, but I once asked him to lift the weight he was asking me to lift and he couldn't! So pathetic,” Hongseok tells you, shaking his head with a smile.

“You have a really bright smile, Hongseok,” you blurt out, Accidental Voicing your thoughts.

Hongseok covers his mouth with his hand.

"I do?" he asks, getting shy.

“StOOOOOp it!” Hongseok whines, nudging your shoulder and running away.

“We just finished our workout! Get back here!” you yell after him.

At the dessert place, you find yourself in a really comfortable and colorful atmosphere - not somewhere posh and fancy like you were expecting. The white decor and cute music steal your heart, and only from the animal themed menus.

After deciding on two things to share with Hongseok, the two of you wait for the dessert to arrive.

"What made you want to bring me here?" you ask Hongseok, who smirks slightly while looking down.

"I guess this is our first date now?" he asks.

"What?!" you croak, almost choking on the water that you were about to drink.

“I'm joking! I don't know, I just thought you would like this place,” he tells you, looking up at the ceiling.

The desserts soon arrive, and after waiting for Hongseok to take photos of them (and you, but you don't realize), you finally tuck in and lean back, enjoyin g the flavors.

"Good, right?" Hongseok asks, smiling.

You're surprised at how well he knows your tastes.

CASSIA

[a/n]: you gained a blackberry!

“Let's be matching game characters!” you tell Yuto, who chuckles at your excitement.

He ruffles your hair and nods, holding out his pinkie finger, which you wrap around your own.

"We've promised now, so we can't go back on it, okay?" he tells you, loading up the next game.

"What if people think we're a couple?" you mumble, thinking to yourself and wondering if Yuto would feel ashamed.

"Would you not like that?" Yuto cautiously asks, playing with the buttons of his remote.

“No…I mean yes! I mean, what?” you stutter, causing Yuto to laugh that bright, wholehearted laugh of his.

“Well, personally I wouldn't mind at all, bub,” he says, reaching out to ruffle your hair again.

You almost fall backward hearing the pet name, not sure if you're cringing or feeling soft.

Just then, your phone vibrates in your pocket and you reach in to pull it out and check. It's a text from Hyunggu:

Hyunggu: Hey, [y/n]! wanna go to a botanical garden with me? it has pretty flowers!

"Yuto, I have to go now, but I'll see you later!" you tell Yuto, who nods and gives you a quick hug before you head out.

After just barely catching the bus, the two of you take some time to also catch your breaths while sitting down.

"Do I have to pay for the entry?" you tease him.

He shakes his head, no.

You notice the people staring at Hyunggu on the bus, and you quickly lower his hand. He just laughs, not minding the attention since he doesn't care too much for anything other than you when he's in your presence !! :)

When you finally get to the garden and step inside, the flowers are so pretty that it overwhelms you. You and Hyunggu are so excited, squealing to yourselves and running around that you almost,  almost  get kicked out. Hyunggu saves your butt, though, by telling the security guard that it's your first date and you're both just super excited.

You then begin to wonder if this is truly a date... but Hyunggu snaps you out of your daze by pointing to the top of your head.

"What is it?" you ask, getting worried.

“It's…a butterfly,” he whispers, quickly pulling out his phone.

"Let me take a photo!"

He takes one and immediately makes it his lockscreen, which leads to you chasing him around the garden and the two of you getting kicked out for real.

“I'm not even sad, because that was so much fun,” Hyunggu says, throwing his arm around your shoulder.

“Hyunggu, you didn't even get to do what you had to for your class,” you point out.

“Oh well. I'll tell them I tried-oh, there's the bus!” he says, suddenly running again.

HOLY

[a/n]: you gained a cherry!

"Sure, let's go!" you tell Yanan, who quickly begins to pack up his things with extreme enthusiam.

You help him out, and like some cliché in a drama, the two of your hands brush up against one another. Yanan looks down slightly, but continues to pack up with speed, not wanting to waste any time.

"Shall we go somewhere nearby?" you ask the boy, who nods.

"What have you been working so hard on?" you ask him as you leave the library.

"Just studying and reviewing... I really want to do well!" he says, and you laugh, reaching up to pat his head.

“You're doing a great job,” you tell him.

"Really?" he shyly responds, and you nod.

“You always do a great job, Yanan.”

"Today's food is my treat!" Yanan declares, and you laugh.

"What, just because I complimented you?" you ask him.

"Yes!" he tells you, sticking his tongue out at you.

You shake your head at him, wondering how you ended up with such a playful boy as your classmate. He's playful yet he studies hard... how exactly does that work?

At a nearby snack restaurant, the two of you grab seats and scan the menu. You jokingly choose the most expensive item on the menu and watch as Yanan hesitates, scratching the back of his neck before he eventually agrees that you can get the item.

“Yanan, I was just joking!”

“Really? Are you sure? You can get it if you want,” he tells you.

You shake your head at him, no.

“I don't even like that food item! I want this instead,” you say, pointing to your favorite item that happens to be cheaper by luck.

You watch Yanan sigh in relief and laugh at him.

"Why were you gonna let me order that if you were so worried, then?" you ask him.

“Because it's you, [y/n],” he tells you.

Despite not being sure what he means, you feel touched.

[skip UP to POPPY]

WILLOW

[a/n]: you gained a lime!

“I wanna change my shifts to match whenever you work,” you tell him.

Shinwon grins and pulls out a paper from his back pocket.

Don't ask why this boy has his schedule printed out and keeps it in his pocket. He just does :]

"Are you good to work any of these times?" he asks you, pointing at the times when he works.

You nod.

“I'm good for all those times! Didn't I tell you that we have classes and free time at the same times?” you explain.

“You're right, you're right. I'm so excited to work at the same time as you! It was always a bummer that we work in the same place but can't see each other. Finally these shifts won't be as boring.”

“You want to snack on my first day with you for doing this,” you tell him.

“'With me'? are we dating?” he jokes, wincing jokingly when you lightly slap his shoulder.

He then pulls out a credit card that you recognize to be the library's, and you gasp.

“What's that doing in  your  hands?!” you ask him.

“We need to buy some new books for the library! Do you want to come with me?” Shinwon asks.

[no, keep reading] [yes, skip to  MIDDLEMIST RED ]

"I can't go today, Shinwon, I'm sorry!" you tell the boy, who nods and tells you that he'll see you soon.

Instead, you run to Changgu's cafe to pay him a quick visit. Despite the coffee being busy on a weekend, he literally stops taking orders just to say hi to you, and some of the regulars who are lines up don't even bat an eye. They recognize you by now as the person who Changgu  always  has to say hi to. 

You let Changgu take orders and wait for things to calm down, passing time by looking around at the always unchanging but pristine decor.

“[y/n], do you want to learn how to make a drink?” Changgu asks you.

[yes, for Yanan, keep reading] [yes, for you, skip to  TANSY ]

"Yeah!" you say, thinking of Yanan studying in the library. 

Thinking of the drinks you've always seen him with in class, you ask Changgu if he can teach you how to make this drink that Yanan always likes.

“Sure! So first, we need to warm this up,” Changgu says, putting what he's talking about into your hands.

"And we do it here."

For a whole fifteen minutes, Changgu hovers behind you, his arms practically wrapped around you as he guides your hands with his and shows you how to pour things and how much to pour. His hands feel cold and you can tell he's nervous, but they still feel so soft. Seeing his hands holding yours makes you feel kind of soft. It's like ah,  so this is what my hands look like when he's holding them...  Even though the coffee is packed, it really just feels like it's only the two of you there.

“Changgu, I actually have to leave now, but thank you for spending all this time with me,” you tell the fluffy-haired boy after your drink for Yanan is finally finished.

“Anytime! Seeing you always makes me happy,” he says, smiling brightly as he sends you off.

You run to the library, hoping that Yanan is still studying there. Yet after returning to the spot where he was, you don't find him there. Even after searching the whole library, you notice he's not there at all. Feeling a little sad with the drink in your hand, you lean against the desk, wondering what to do, until you realize.

[skip to  POPPY ]

MIDDLEMIST RED

[a/n]: you gained a lime!

“Sure, I'll come along!” you tell Shinwon, who smiles brightly around you, waving the card around as he gestures for you to follow him out of the library.

“I didn't know we'd be sitting on errands like this,” you tell Shinwon, who opens the door so you can step out.

"Well, sometimes the library needs to get newer, updated books, and people don't just donate these things, so that's how it's done!"

You nod, realizing it makes sense. A cold breeze suddenly hits the two of you out of nowhere, and you watch the Shinwon shivers through his thin, tweed sweater.

“Are you okay? Don't you want to grab a jacket or something?” you ask him.

He firmly shakes his head, then hesitates to speak up.

"What is it?"

“Well… [y/n]…” he smiles nervously and scratches the back of his neck as he talks.

“Would it be okay if I held your hand? I think that would help… with the cold.”

A little taken aback, you juggle with his question in your mind.

[it's okay, keep reading] [no, skip to VIOLET ]

[a/n]: you received a lime!

Rather than answering Shinwon's question, you just take his hand with a smile and walk ahead. Sadly, you don't notice the way Shinwon tilts his head back and laughs at the sky, trying his best to keep up with you while holding on to the credit card and library keys in his other hand.

“Do you feel warm now?” you ask him, still facing ahead.

Shinwon simply hums in response, squeezing your hand and continuing to follow you.

"Wait, [y/n], do you even know where we're going?" he asks you.

“Uh…”

He laughs, running up and using the hand that is entangled with yours to point up to the road sign.

“We're making a left here!” 

You follow the boy along, thankful he quickly noticed before you walked the both of you to… who knows where.

[skip to ZINNIA ]

TANSY

[a/n]: you gained a blueberry!

“Sure! Uh, Changgu... what's your favorite drink?” you ask him carefully.

The fluffy-haired boy takes some time to actually think, bringing his fingers to his lips as he does.

“I like my special caramel mocha!” he finally decides, pointing to it on the menu behind him.

"Well, can you teach me how to make that?"

“Sure! It isn't too difficult at all,” he tells you.

“So first, we need to warm this up,” Changgu says, putting what he's talking about into your hands.

"And we do it here."

For a whole fifteen minutes, Changgu hovers behind you, his arms practically wrapped around you as he guides your hands with his and shows you how to pour things and how much to pour. His hands feel cold and you can tell he's nervous, but they still feel so soft. Seeing his hands holding yours makes you feel kind of soft. It's like ah,   so this is what my hands look like when he's holding them...   Even though the coffee is packed, it really just feels like it's only the two of you there.

“[y/n], be careful!” Changgu yells as you knock over something hot.

He pushes you away but ends up standing in front of the drink himself, and it splashes all over his stomach. Wincing in pain and pulling his shirt away from him, he's very obviously in pain, so quickly rush to grab some ice and tell him to go to the break room.

“This is gonna sound weird but you need to take your shirt off and rinse your chest with cold water!” you tell him.

He obliges, but shyly, removing his shirt to reveal red abs that you've never seen before. But of course, your focus is only on his reddened skin as you help him rinse it and place ice on it.

The two of you collapse in the break room, exhausted from the panic after finally treating Changgu.

“That was so scary,” you say.

“I feel... so exposed,” Changgu says, bending over forwards to hide his chest.

“Oh sorry! You can put your shirt on, now, but maybe get some ointment for your skin. Ah, there's a pharmacy nearby, I'll-”

“It's fine, [y/n], really! I have some at home,” he tells you.

After a quiet pause, he speaks again.

“We finished making the drinks but I just had to spill the one you made,” he complains, sighing.

“Changgu, it's okay! At least I learned how to make it,” you tell him, smiling. “You got hurt, though! That matters more than the spilled drink.”

Changgu shakes his head.

“I've burned myself like this so many times here, but no one was ever here to care. So I'm super grateful.”

[skip UP to POPPY ]

STATICE

“I'm home!” you yell into an extremely chaotic and loud livingroom.

“[y/n]! [y/n]! We need your help!” Wooseok screeches.

"What is it?!" you ask, quickly removing your shoes and padding your way inside.

“We're gaming and we wanna be in pairs, but it was only the three of us. Now that you're here, we can all team up!” Hyunggu explains.

Yuto lets out a small 'yay' and everyone laughs.

"Well, [y/n], who do you wanna pair up with?" Yuto asks.

[Yuto, keep reading] [Hyunggu, skip to ASTER ] [Wooseok, skip to IRIS ]

[a/n]: you gained a blackberry!

“I'll join Yuto!” you say, and Yuto cheers again, holding his hand out for a high-five.

“I guess I'm stuck with Hyunggu,” Wooseok complains, rolling his eyes.

“Why, what's wrong with me?!” Hyunggu demands, shocked.

"Nothing!"

Wooseok is clearly joking, but Hyunggu acts sad to play along.

“Silly boys,” Yuto says, shaking his head as he hands you a controller.

"Says you!" you say, sitting beside him. 

Yuto sticks his tongue out at you and you shake your head at him.

When the game begins, the two of you completely crush Wooseok and Hyunggu, who start to grow angry and tired as the two of you think of more winning rituals besides simply high-fiving. 

You wrap Yuto in a hug once, nearly crushing him to death and turning his face red (or was he blushing ???).

“[y/n], I think you're the only person who I should be gaming with for the rest of my life,” Yuto says, giving you another high five.

"Why does this sound like a proposal?" you ask the boy, who pokes your cheek.

"Why, do you wish it was?" he asks you. 

You look away, because you're honestly not sure.

In the middle of a round, your phone rings and you have to pick up, seeing Changgu's name on the screen.

"What's up, Changgu?"

“I'm sorry, but I need some help closing up the cafe today. Would you be able to come? we can walk around after!”

[no, keep reading] [sure, skip to DAPHNE ]

[a/n]: you gained a blackberry!

“I'm sorry Changgu, I can't make it today! But if it's urgent, I can come?”

“No no, it's fine! Thank you anyway,” Changgu says, hanging up.

"Well, not that [y/n] ruined our game with that phone call, I'M HUNGRY!"

[”let's keep playing”, keep reading] [help him order food, skip to DAHLIA ]

"Shhh, Hyunggu baby let's just keep playing!"

"Who are you calling a baby?" Hyunggu whines, pouting.

"Do you want some milk, Hyunggu?" Wooseok teaches, causing Hyunggu to lightly slap him.

After playing some more, Hyunggu eventually leaves to get food for himself, and all of you head to your own rooms for the night.

“I don't think I'm comfortable doing that right now,” you tell Shinwon, who nods quickly and simply pulls his sleeves down to hide his hands inside them.

"It's not far anyway, so we'll be fine!" he says, speed-walking and making you race after him.

“It's unsurprising that the bookstore would be so close to a campus full of students,” you say.

“They gotta make business somehow,” Shinwon says.

He bites down on his lip as he looks at the road signs, trying to remember which way to go before he finally makes a left and points out the bookstore in the distance.

“It's over there!” he exclaims, starting to run over. 

Once again, you're left following behind.

ZINNIA

The bell chimes above your heads as you enter the restaurant, signaling your presence to the older man behind the counter, who quickly puts his feet down and sits up, wecloming you both inside.

As Shinwon takes the list of books the university needed to the man, you take a quick look around. Despite being full of textbooks, there's a small section for other books like fiction and poetry, and you take a gander there.

Your eyes fall on a book cover that intrigues you, and you pick it up, reading through it a bit until you realize that Shinwon would absolutely enjoy it.

“[y/n]! Can you come help me find this book?” Shinwon calls out to you.

Do you take the book with you, to buy for Shinwon?

[no, we're only here to buy school textbooks, keep reading]

[yes, skip to SYNTHIA ]

You quickly rush to Shinwon and help him find the book he needs, searching through all the shelves until you find it on the top shelf. You struggled to reach it as first as it's so far up, but you're able to grab it eventually and bring it to the counter.

Thankfully, finding the books isn't too difficult, so you and Shinwon are able to finish things up speedily. Also thankfully, the owner tells you that they'll be delivered, so you don't need to carry them back to the library!

“Thanks for coming with me today, [y/n],” Shinwon says, with a small smile.

"It's so problem at all!" you say before waving goodbye as the two of you part ways.

ASTER

[a/n]: you gained a grape!

"Hyunggu, I'll join you!" you say, running over and giving him a high five.

He smiles, wrapping you in an unexpected but warm hug.

“That's gross,” Wooseok jokes.

“You're just jealous. Here,” Yuto says, also tightly hugging Wooseok who screams so loudly that your eardrums almost burst.

"Let's play!" Hyunggu says, starting the first round when Yuto and Wooseok aren't even ready yet.

They get mad, but somehow still win that round. Yet you and Hyunggu are able to turn things around as the game continues. Hyunggu tightly hugs you with each win, burying his face into your neck so you can feel his breath hitting your skin. It makes you shiver, but you shrug it off.

“[y/n] and I are bosses of this game!” Hyunggu chants, raising his fists up.

In the middle of a round, your phone rings and you have to pick up, seeing Changgu's name on the screen.

"What's up, Changgu?"

“I'm sorry, but I need some help closing up the cafe today. Would you be able to come? we can walk around after!”

[no, keep reading] [sure, skip to DAPHNE ]

"Shhh, Hyunggu baby let's just keep playing!"

"Who are you calling a baby?" Hyunggu whines, pouting.

After playing some more, Hyunggu eventually leaves to get food for himself, and all of you head to your own rooms for the night.

IRIS

[a/n]: you received a raspberry!

“Wooseok, let's show Yuto and Hyunggu how to play this game,” you say, rolling up your sleeves and trudging forwards.

Wooseok stands tall and salutes you, bowing as he hands you your controller.

"What the heck?" says Hyunggu, laughing slightly.

“Don't disrespect master [y/n]. They are an ace at this!” Wooseok says, sitting next to you only after making sure you have enough pillows.

He fist bumps you before starting the game, remaining quiet while the two of you play as he trusts you completely. He doesn't even speak to give you directions, but waits for you to tell him what to do. It's kind of weird, since the two of you have only played together a few times before, but you already have some kind of chemistry when playing.

With each win, Wooseok smiles in a smirking sort of way, glaring at Hyunggu and Yuto before giving you a high five. He almost leans in for a hug several times but hesitates, so you hug him instead. He responds by leaning his head on your shoulder.

In the middle of a round, your phone rings and you have to pick up, seeing Changgu's name on the screen.

"What's up, Changgu?"

“I'm sorry, but I need some help closing up the cafe today. Would you be able to come? we can walk around after!”

DAPHNE

[a/n]: you gained a blueberry, but lost a raspberry, a blackberry and a grape!

"Sure, Changgu, I'll be right there!" you say.

"Sorry, guys, I have to go, but keep playing without me!" you tell your roommates as you grab your coat and head out the door. They all sigh and groan at you, but you ignore them, being worried about Changgu for the time being.

Once you get there, you find that a lineup extends outside Changgu's cafe!

"What's going on here?" you ask him.

Changgu's eyes are screaming for help as he tells you that all of these people suddenly appeared up 5 minutes before closing time and he was unable to clean up while also taking orders.

"You take the orders and I'll clean!" you say, beginning to stack the chairs.

After putting the chairs away, you sweep and then mop. You know Changgu's cleaning routine because you've done it many times before in the past that you have it memorized.

Before you know it, Changgu has taken all the orders and you've done all the cleaning, so he's able to quickly lock the doors and step out of the cafe. He dusts his hands off and looks at you with glittery eyes.

“Thank you so much for coming, [y/n]. I was getting really overwhelmed even though that rarely happens,” he tells you.

"No problem! Just call me again whenever you need to, okay? I'll be here in an instant," you say.

“Thank you... thank you so much,” he says again, hesitantly stepping forward to hug you. When he does, you cal feel him relaxing into your arms, and you rub his back, knowing that he's had a hard day.

Surprisingly, though, he's the one to tell you, “it must have been hard, [y/n]. Today must have been hard, but you did so well. Thank you.”

You stay quiet but continue to rub circles on his back, not knowing what else to do or say.

The two of you walk through the fresh air of the night for sometime, Changgu sharing some stories with you of how he'd panic when it would get busy when he first opened the cafe because he didn't know what to do. He also talks about the times he spilled drinks, forgot to fulfill orders and a whole bunch of other things. 

When you ask him where he found the motivation to keep working, he says, “because seeing people get so happy from just drinking my coffees makes my day. Plus, seeing you stop by from time to time always gave me motivation. Especially when I didn't know you, I would still recognize you. Like 'oh they're hear again!' I always got excited whenever you dropped by.”

“This sounds like a confession,” you blurt out.

"Well... would you like it if it was?" Changgu asks, tilting his head to one side

You stay quiet, looking up at the stars and wondering if they could answer Changgu's question instead.

Is that the Cassiopeia you see up there?

[a/n]: you gained a grape!

“Okay, hungry baby. Should we order something?” you ask Hyunggu, taking out your phone.

Hyunggu claps, rushing over to you to help you decide.

"Can't yall control your stomachs for one second?" Yuto asks, sighing.

"Yuto, do you want pizza?" Hyunggu questions.

“Yes,” Yuto replies.

“Bro…” Wooseok says.

"What?" says Yuto.

“Yuto will judge us for being hungry but will also eat like 5 slices,” you say.

"At the! 3 at most," Yuto says.

“Ignore them,” Hyunggu tells you. "What do you want?"

After also finding something for yourself, you place the order and return to your games, despite Hyunggu complaining that he can't play on an empty stomach.

The food arrives soon enough, through, and the four of you eat in silence for ten minutes before gaming some more, Hyunggu making highly animated noises as he's now full of energy.

“[y/n] is the best! They order food for me even when no one else cares!” Hyunggu says as you all eventually clean up.

“I'm glad you know,” you tell him, ruffling his hair.

You decide to ignore Hongseok out of sheer laziness and trudge to Yuto's room instead, hearing the soft chords of his electric guitar. Slowly you open the door and watch his back as he practices.

[walk in and head bang, keep reading] [just watch, skip to INDIGO ]

[a/n]: you gained a blackberry!

You shuffle forwards in front of Yuto and start headbanging as the music builds up, and Yuto starts laughing so hard that he almost drop shis guitar.

"What are you doing?" he wheezes.

“Just jamming,” you say, continuing to dance along.

Yuto continues to play and headbangs along with you, standing up and thrusting his hips as if he's an actual band member up on stage, vibing with the crowd. You raise your hands and cheer, acting like the audience. At the end of the song, you clap so loud that Yuto tells you to be quiet, worried that you'll wake up the rest of the house. 

“Do you wanna grab breakfast with me?” Yuto asks you.

[yes, keep reading] [no, skip to PRIMROSE ]

[a/n]: you gained a blackberry!

“Sure! I know a good place nearby,” you tell him, leaving to get changed.

The two of you meet downstairs and leave together, walking down the pavement awkwardly as Yuto asks you to tie his hair back for him while walking. It's a mess and you keep bumping into his back, but you eventually get the job done.

“Thanks, [y/n]. I'm never undoing my hair now, since you touched it,” he says, walking ahead with his hands in his pockets.

You shake your head at him but follow along, telling him that the breakfast place is on the left.

Once you get there, the two of you order a feast and try to finish it. Yuto gets whipped cream on his upper lip several times and you have to do that cliché thing where you wipe it off with your thumb. Yuto giggles every time and you find it so cute, the way his white teeth show when he smiles.

After the breakfast, you decide to finally run with Hongseok.

SYNTHIA

[a/n]: you gained a lime!

Before approaching Shinwon, you grab the book that caught your attention and secretly give it to the man at the counter, telling him that you'll pay for it later. Then, you help out Shinwon, finding the book he asked for in a far up corner that you just can't reach. After a few moments of trying, Shinwon approaches you and grabs it for you, his chest hitting your back.

"In the end, I have to do everything for you, don't I?" Shinwon tells you, handing you the book.

“Thank you,” you say, feeling a little flustered.

Thankfully, finding the other books isn't too difficult, so you and Shinwon are able to finish things up speedily. Also thankfully, the owner tells you that they'll be delivered, so you don't need to carry them back to the library!

After quickly paying for the book you grabbed for Shinwon, you also leave the shop after Shinwon does, running behind him and holding the book out to him when you catch up to him.

“Shinwon! I saw this and thought you might like it. It seems like your type of vibe,” you say.

Shinwon grabs the book, his jaw completely dropped.

“[y/n]... I've been searching for this book for such a long time. How did you know?”

“What? Really? I had no idea, I just-”

"Thank you so much!" Shinwon says, wrapping his arms around you tightly and resting his chin on your shoulder.

“I'm now fifty times happier than I already was,” he says, laughing softly right next to your ear.

"You're clearly not since you're talking to me!" you point out.

“Well I'm trying to, so please leave!”

You sadly leave his room, letting him get some rest. Instead, you decide to take Hongseok's morning run offer.

You continue to watch Yuto from near his door, admiring the way he carefully moves his hands and fingers, placing them precisely but with speed.

“[y/n]... I know you’re watching me. Just come in,” Yuto says after finishing the song he was playing.

“Ah, sorry! You were so good, I didn’t want to bother you,” you explain, finally stepping inside.

“But now I feel super shy,” he says, touching hsi reddended cheeks with the back of his hand.

“Shy? No, I’m sorry! Should I leave?” you ask, taking a step towards the door.

“No, no! Instead...” Yuto says, thinking.

“Do you wanna grab breakfast with me?”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to pass on the breakfast. I’m planning to workout real soon, so I shouldn’t eat somethinng too heavy,” you explain to Yuto.

“Oh, okay! Go do your workout so you can eat sooner,” Yuto tells you with a smile.

“I will! And you go eat, too,” you tell the boy, who nods.

After finding your phone in your room, you text Hongseok to tell him you’re ready to go on a run.

"So, are you ready to go on this run?" Hongseok asks you after meeting at your front door.

"Let's do it!" you say.

“Firstly, let's walk and warm up a bit,” he says, starting to move ahead of you.

“Also, take one of my earbuds,” he says, holding out a wireless earbud to you so you can share.

“You better be listening to good music,” you say, putting it in your ear and smiling when you hear one of your favorite songs.

“Don't worry, [y/n]. This playlist is full of your songs,” he says with a smile before.

After talking a bit about your personal lives, the two of you begin to run side by side. It's a little hard at first, but eventually it gets easier, and feeling the wind in your face helps to cool you down and keep you moving forward. Just from all of Hongseok's encouraging yells and grunts, of course.

The two of you end up running to a spot you've never been before, somewhere where you can see the entire lower half of the city. The remaining city lights under the soft glow of the sun look so pretty.

“It's so beautiful,” you say, staring ahead.

“Yeah,” says Hongseok, staring at you.

You turn and catch him with his eyes on you, telling him to look ahead.

"But did you know, [y/n], that if you stare at someone who is looking at the city view, will your wish come true?"

"Well that makes no sense, but what did you wish for?"

"For you to be happy."

[You've made it to the end of part 4! Be careful, this is where branch routes and there's no going back, so I hope you're happy with all your decisions so far.]

[dont-call-me-halbae]

OK. I took all courage I have to write theory – or more like my story based on MV we have from ONF.

It will be looong journey.

Let’s start!

ON/OFF

All right. We know we have some post-apocalyptic world, reference to space journeys, spaceship interior and seven androids with barcodes on their necks. They live in desolate world but happily, playing and everything.

Hyojin has red hair – it’s Red Hyojin (ok, here starts my devil-red-hyojin theory :D)

It is hard to say if they are on Earth because of the environment and trees but on other hand it could be big spaceship with all facilities like cinema for people (e. g. Star Trek Yorktown) but all the people are gone, maybe they didn’t survive the environment, recycling devices could be broken, oxygen could be gone etc. And what could also happen is that the battery of tracking system could be gone and the airship with androids is long lost somewhere in the space. They want to get on Earth but can’t. And who knows what state Earth is, we have reference here on the meteorite.

But Laun somehow gets the lithium battery, activates the device and 1) they are found by survivors of Earth of their present time (post-apocalypse). 2) got enough energy to come back in time by themselves 3) combination – somehow contacted some people of the past to help them with energy supply and they got into past time (before apocalypse).

Maybe Laun inserted not only the battery but also his android energy, so he is down lying after that?).

Complete

This is quite nice. Androids are enjoying their life on Earth but the apocalypse is coming closer. The meteorites start to fall down. They are forced to leave Earth back to their starship.

We must love

Once you taste something, you can’t get over it. Laun is caught up in memories and feelings from Earth (watching whale in the screen, wanting to live somewhere where everything is real, not in the space). So he transports himself back in time before the whole apocalypse happens.

On one hand I want to believe that he lost his memories (Lyrics: “Did we lose our memories? In our past or in our future or maybe a different world?”) as he painfully holds his head but somehow some pieces came back to him (causing crying?).

Our six boys of course went to look for him. That means that they have to search the universe and timeline, in their physical form or as an anagram (Wyatt). MK is always good with computers, Yuto is carefully watching the time for their return so they will not cause any time-damages. But something still happened. 1) time damage (J-us with the hands up – idk what guard or who forced him but still, the screen does not lie) 2) I think that they located the wrong Laun in the Universe 01. The non-android Laun (he doesn’t have the barcode on the neck when he was reading the book on the station) and E-tion understands it. So they got into wrong universe.

I chose for the screenshots another moments: Wyatt riding bike (he always goes on bike or car, I think that they have limited time-watches so he must use time-driving-mashine). Then we have the motive of train for the first time? Train will be repeatedly used.

And the final scene, Hyojin and Laun’s argument. It doesn’t fit that they found him and then let him go. I think it maybe happened even before the meteorite shower, somewhere between Complete and We must love. I’m just making this up, don’t take me seriously :D But they knew what’s gonna happen with the meteorites so he wanted to turn back time and save the world or maybe live comfortable life but Hyojin didn’t want to damage the timeline.

What is sure: Real Laun is lost; human Laun is reading his books. Bye.

Why

Now it’s gonna be a bit messy (I feel like I captured every scene of the MV and it’s still not enough).

Our androids are now in universe 01. And skunk Hyojin made his appearance.

Apocalypse is coming. Our boys, at first together, now divided. It is mostly psychological reason. Red Hyojin as the leader of androids failed, because of departure of Laun and everything in We must love. He wants to do everything now to save the world and get things back to its order, but it is too late. We see how Wyatt runs with others and then he is alone, he is disappointed in humanity and everyone. The same as E-tion, as we see his last moments with Yuto and then Yuto goes his own way and E-tion is all alone.

With their messing up with time, the technology of the world has greatly advanced (and who knows how many years has passed). I feel like they found a way how to save (or destroy) the world and it is connected to the big cube (Pandora’s box). It is super-duper technology.

Yuto is focused on finding the activating key of the box and using illegal means. MK is looking for it virtually. Wyatt does not believe the world and society could be saved so even when he obtained the key somehow, he throws it away. He feels like the life and androids have no future. E-Tion applied for a detective position and his mission is to get Yuto but he accidentally founds the cube (because Yuto is searching for it too). They are like cat and mouse. Red Hyojin is looking for a way how to get his team back, but someone is in his shadow…

And we have here my skunk Hyojin (don’t get me wrong, I LOVE his red colour but… you will get it later). This Hyojin is not from the same universe. He came from different time and space (BB universe)

Ok, I don’t know how Wyatt got imprisoned in the glass foggy thing, maybe Yuto did it to obtain the info about the key he lost or it was skunk Hyojin? J-Us? Or it is not prison but some androids recovering device – IDK. Skunk Hyojin make his appearance and J-Us got there too. He tell J-Us about where he came from and what is needed to be done to put everything normal again. He does not believe it, confronting skunk Hyojin, aiming on him his gun. But Hyojin has it’s back-up – mask people (remember, mask people!) and he escapes.

Now, MK somehow manage to control the cube. I don’t know what his motive is, but it seems like he wanted to destruct to world the whole time. Like, in We must love – it is starting with MK and meteorites. The first meteorite in Complete showed up with MK in the frame. Or it is just a coincidence and they got to control the cube which resonates with all androids of ONF but it is too late and the meteorites couldn’t be stopped and the world is destroyed.

Yuto is leaving somewhere, Wyatt is all healthy and shining in the nature, E-Tion is broken and leaves the planet.

In the end we see flashback of skunk Hyojin and his happy memory with J-Us. I think it is his flashback from BB universe where he came from. But skunk Hyojin couldn’t save this world and uses the power of the cube to come back to his right universe while he encounters his future him telling him so.

Specially captured: MK using the VR technology as used by Wyatt in BB, time-space door (as in New World, or Sukhumvit swimming time-road or BB time road), cube and skunk Hyojin – I think this is the cube from skunk Hyojin universe (BB) and he used it to get into Universe 01

Sukhumvit swimming

You can say it is not in the ONFverse but I think it matches everything quite well.

After many many years after the apocalypse, we see how individually ONF lives. Wyatt is making money by driving space-time tuk-tuk (remade from his super-duper time-bike). Yuto is living as a party drug man. E-tion left the planet and lives on the moon with his blue flower (ok, it is rose not orchid as in WHY MV) all alone. MK is still hacker, no change. J-Us took the advices from skunk-Hyojin seriously. As he guards the ruins of the city that was destroyed, he also guards the time and search for Red Hyojin in colab with masked men of skunk Hyojin (different mask, same group of followers).

Because Red Hyojin wants to manipulate time again and save everything. Skunk Hyojin told J-Us that only with his death everything can turn normal.

We see especially red cube as in WHY MV and also time clock, that will be shown in BB too. I think that how the camera captures the clock, from side to up – is seems like we go further in time. That’s why I think Sukhumvit timeline is far in the future. There are also barcoded corpses of other androids that did not survive the apocalypse, we see flashback of post-apocalyptic world, destroyed town but not the ruins yet… In BB, the clock will be captured from top to side, as we go back in time.

Ok. So what is happening? Masked people detected Hyojin (in train! And Yuto is also partying in the train with same masked people, maybe – they drugged him to discover Hyojin position, or – Yuto is already dead and the train has different purpose). The guard of ruins, time and skunk Hyojin follower goes to him to kill him. There is moment where it seems like Hyojin was first to kill J-Us. At that moment, around Wyatt falls meteorite; E-tion cries when looking at black Earth from far, in his eyes is yellow flash looking as another meteor falling. He is sad that it’s the end of everything.

But J-Us was faster and kills Hyojin. Yeah. It is hard, because Red Hyojin and J-Us were friends, they went through many hardships, but still. Only death of red hair can save the time.

After Hyojin’s death, J-Us cries. Around J-Us are bodies of ONF members, maybe it means sacrifices that were made and that it is all over. But then, the time starts to reverse, ruins are disappearing and J-Us looks up surprised to see that really it is happening.

Similarly, E-tion is surprised when colourful fireworks show up – it’s hope, it is the result of BB happening.

Twice in the MV we can see barcodes falling, that could mean the end of androids, life of sacrificed androids or ONF’s life through all dimension? IDK.

Beautiful beautiful

So. The first danger was rid of. Universe 01 J-Us killed Red Hyojin. Now, in the BB universe, the team of androids can save the time, the world and everything.

According to what the big screen tells us: “…machines and become the humanoid. Time warp is possible but the timeline has messed by past time travels and classified as…”

What that mean? Seems like the humanoids are not common in the BB universe. So maybe 1) after Hyojin’s death the time reversed to this point 2) in the specific moment the dimensions split into two. I would say that it could happen right after ON/OFF or Complete; in one timeline – the team searches and Red Hyojin leads the team to failure; in the second timeline the team didn’t search for Laun but found different way how to live or maybe their dimension was already affected by the first dimension 01 disturbances.

But let’s continue.

We have train, light and bright, the celebration that it was this place where everything was saved; we have the team living comfortably. But they still have warrant on them and they help each other to escape the prison and fixing the time as it should be. Wyatt and his VR time-space riding car that helped skunk Hyojin, MK hacking so the police won’t be able to track them and the screen won’t show them, J-Us escaping with the help of Hyojin from prison and jumping on their ship. E-tion using his time-watches to fix small occurances. Hyojin and E-tion drink while the cube is activated. We see the names of previous three songs.

And in the end, they together control the cube and protect in time the Earth from meteorites that would turn into rainbow puff (the same as E-tion saw in Sukhumvit).

The world is saved!!!! THEY DONE IT!!!

(the world should be more grateful to them, hehe)

Ok, I’m sorry that in order to my theory work I have to make red Hyojin the villain even though he was not the villain but his potential actions and existence was dangerous…

Or we can forget Sukhumvit and just say Hyojin dyed his hair and in the end they somehow worked the things together in the team, because in the moment of apocalypse they all turned time back from Why to BB. It is more compatible with New World, where everyone find his key and uses Pandora box to travel into different dimension. But why the hell would Wyatt throw his key then in Why? :DD Why? 

 I absolutely don’t think this could be right theory, even from 10%, and I never wrote theories on anything, but still I was quite into it when I wrote it!

And I can’t believe how this amount of nonsense came from me.

But whatever!

[soft-pentagon]

which of your mutuals would you pair up together with the members of pentagon to mc a tv show. whether theyd be funny together or just click and host well together.

I was about to sleep anon so this is going to be half-assed sorry agshshsj ANYWAYZ, and keep in mind idk my mutuals irl so this might be a bit off but BASED on my soulmate connections with all of them:

Yeo one: he a great MC, like his voice, tries some jokes, I think he's funny only the ptg members don't appreciate him 🙄 (haters) but he's GOOD imo and I think @kihno and he would be a great match, I think they kinda a complete eachother in a way? It would be cute okay

Hongseok: he idk, does he even MC agsbns not that much... But I think he and @hongshoes would go well together because #bickering non stop and we love that shit

Hui: he's cute, he MC's a lot since he's the leader, he talks well so hmmm maybe @antihongseok-network ? Because Escher would just look at him while he talks and be like 😮 and then don't do her lines and THAT would be funny agsbsnsnsn

Jinho: he's an introvert.... He... I don't think I remember seeing him MC a lot so hmmm @taesaqua becase milda would do the job and I think joji would be there as a support kinda agshsnsn

Yanan: he tries his best agsbsns this nerd he gets all excited but he needs a lil bit of help sometimes but shhhh no one needs to know 👀 anyways,, @incorrect-pentagon !!! Because no one better to help a lost puppy than dani 🥺

Yuto: MC yuto :((( the baby would have to talk so much sdfhjjkbg but I think he'd go well with someone loud in contrast so @junmukhi

Shinwon: he's a hard one imo adgjgdsd he can talk and MC's well but I think it depends on the situation asfhujsjjsjs so someone who has to go well with his vibe hmmmm @astarwithhismoon MAYHAPS 👀👀 I think it would be fun

Kino: he knows how to do it,, king in every area possible, someone who replies to him well 🤔 @wooseoks ,, cat is the way! Very soft duo actually, I'm looking 👀

Wooseok: he's pretty good too and he slaps some great jokes here and there, he should be paired with someone who replies to said jokes well so @clairedeluna98 because ik she'd be losing it 24/7

[gamerwoo]

4, 14, 15, 18 and if it isn’t too much 29 because I think this one’s actually really funny

4: What song(s) took you a while to warm up to?

Tempo by Exo. I really didn’t vibe with it at first but I liked it after a few days

14: Is there a kpop song that annoys you? If so, which one?

I know there was a really popular song that annoyed me but I can’t even remember what it was now because I haven’t heard it in a while. OH!!! But one that doesn’t necessarily annoy me but like whenever I hear it in a video or smth I gotta skip forward lmao is the cover of Dolphin by those two idols that was literally everywhere not too long ago

15: What aspects of kpop make you cringe/feel secondhand embarrassment?

Sometimes the being overly-cute makes me feel secondhand embarrassment, like some idols when they do aegyo I just,,,,,,I gotta look away lmao. Also over-sexualizing literally everything which I see a lot on twitter (dude twt stans are so fuckin bold they literally have @/s that are like mingyusfatcock and im like okay uhhhh bye lmao). That’s another thing on its own. @/s and display names on twt make me cringe too tbh

18: If you could trade places with an idol, who would it be?

Hyuna. Girl went through so much shit but can we look at her now? She’s still in the same relationship which is a big fuck you to the people who were upset/mad she was dating Dawn, she’s happy, she can do what she wants, she’s heckin gorgeous and super talented. I also love her dog lmao

EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET RYUJIN!!!! I just think she’s so cute and I love her body type and her style and her voice and just her in general lmao I wanna be Ryujin so bad bro I would be That Bitch

29: What name from your native language would you give your ult bias?

The fact I’ve thought about this before tho. Not even just for my ults but like for entire groups lmao. I’ve never had solid answers but I’ll do my best lmao (and I’ll do it for my 3 ults)

Wonwoo -- idk he looks kind of like an Oliver to me. I also just like the name Oliver lately ???? or a Sam/Samuel tbh. or Alex. something basic ig. or Mordecai???? im literally just looking at a list of names and picking what i think fits ok

Mingyu -- why do I feel like he’d have some like, basic fuckboy name lmao. like,,,,,,Xavier or Tyler or Aiden 

Yuto -- ,,,,,,Casper for some reason??? maybe spelled Kapser instead??? Christian/Cristian mayhaps?? tbh Yuto is hard to find a name that fits him lmao

also pls dont judge my name choices lmao. this is definitely better than the usual names i’ve seen lately in my country because people name their kids shit like brinleighannerose and cahmrynjamez or whatever the fuck as just one name lmao

send numbers!!! :]

[rq-s]

he does! omg you like pentagon? 🥺 yanan is back! i'm so glad i have another universe friend now hehe 💓 do you have a bias in ptg? ooooh been through is my favorite exo song hehehe their winter albums are 💓 — 💐anon

IOWOINFW i didnt mean for this to get as long as it did so its going under keep reading im sorry anon idk what happened ;-;

yeah! pentagon is one of the groups where i mostly enjoy their music, but for a while i was really trying to get into their other content and to be a universe, and then everything with Dawn and Hyuna happened and other groups kept promoting and i just fell off... (im a huge fan of them too ofc, the controversy with that is what made me check out Hyuna and Money is one of the most important songs to me personally but thats off track)

when they came back with naughty boy though i was hooked again tho, like that song is still stuck in my head to this day. since then i havent really kept up with them like id like to, but i do watch every single Magazine Ho when they came out because that man is an incredible vocalist and the cinematography is brilliant and wow i miss him (off track again sorry)

i wasnt there when Yanan had to leave but i do remember seeing him in the collaboration with Jun, The8, and Samuel. im so happy to see him back and healthy because from what i did see, he’s such an important piece of pentagon, i love the sort of freedom he has? i just feel like hes unique, but in his own cute subtle way. like i wouldn't say he’s 4d but moresoe like hes just actually living in another dimension. like i feel like he has incredible spiritual capacity that hasnt been tapped into, like its locked away, but it influences his entire being whether  he likes it or not. 

i really think im gonna catch up on their content before their comeback, even though not seeing Jinho there and knowing others will likely leave soon too will pain me... but they have a duty to serve and i respect that a lot so its okay!! 

... i didn’t mean to ramble im sorry BUT YEAH my biases are Shinwon, Yuto, Jinho, and Hui! in that order. usually its way harder for me to find my biases, and i always have more than one... for Jinho i feel like its clear from what i said earlier, his talent stuck out to me most, and i like his personality. Yuto is similar in that his rapping is among my top 5 favourite styles / sounds of a kpop boy group rapper, and i adore the duality of his personality off stage. Hui stuck out to me first because of his writing and production capabilities!! and im a sucker for the leader of any group tbh. 

Shinwon however, is very unique in that he doesnt stand out a whole long in mvs or lyrics, but when i see him performing, i can tell that he’s living in the moment 100%, his expressions are so fluid and natural that i dont even think he needs to think about that entire aspect of a performance, it just comes out on its own and it comes out so well that i cant help but watch him. hes so down to earth and honest while still being a bit whimsical and goofy. all that and i feel like his personality would match mine pretty well and that we’d be friends and i dont feel like that with most idols. 

...

i think the fact that i still want to talk about them more despite knowing so little is very telling. maybe im meant to be a universe and have just been blind this whole time.......

Dating YuWon ~

Anon asked: If ur still taking requests could you do a Shinwon x Yuto poly?

A/N: i feel like im gonna be sick because of how much I cried at work but I’m also really hungry lmao 

☆ ngl it was hard to find a gif of the two of them 

☆ this was the best I could find atm 

☆ also idk if this is their ship name...

☆ correct me if I’m wrong

☆ ok hc

☆ tol boys are softies

☆ not big into PDA

☆ like maybe some hand holding 

☆ but that’s about it from either of them

☆ in private, they’re cuddle monsters

☆ Yuto is like a koala

☆ so is Shinwon

☆ ...good luck with that 

☆ lots of food dates

☆ like going out to restaurants and eating, etc. 

☆ late night dates too 

☆ just like driving around and such 

☆ when they go on tour

☆ expect a lot of pictures from Shinwon 

☆ lots 

☆ Yuto texts a lot to make sure that you’re doing okay 

☆ he’s checking mostly for his peace of mind 

☆ but also because he cares, duh

☆ imagine having the honor of wearing their clothes 

☆ omg

☆ so you really get your choice of two very different wardrobes

☆ these boys would melt if you wore their clothes

☆ cause you’re gonna look small in their clothes 

☆ so cute

☆ these two are absolute suckers for you 

☆ you may get some playful banter 

☆ but the minute you start pouting

☆ they’re done for

☆ they’ll be apologizing and cooing over you 

☆ showering you in affection

☆ such sweethearts~

☆ now for some not so sweetness~

☆ Yuto - dom that might sub

☆ he really has to be in a certain mood 

☆ Shinwon - switch 

☆ he’s a switch leaning towards sub in this dynamic 

☆ Yuto just has so much dom energy 

☆ ok so 

☆ bondage (g) and sensory deprivation (g/r) are a big yes

☆ I just really feel like Shinwon would be into sensory deprivation (r)

☆ Shinwon would be a soft dom

☆ not the softest dom but a soft one

☆ as a sub, he’s very obedient 

☆ veeeeery vocal too

☆ very whiny and vocal moans

☆ Yuto is a hard dom in terms of power, not roughness

☆ he can get a bit rough but he’s more of a gentle giant

☆ nicknames for days 

☆ Yuto is the king of calling his s/o(s) petnames

☆ in that deep ass voice too u g h

ONF MEMBERS AS YOUR SIBLING (MK & U version)

n 

OMG I AM VERY VERY LOOKING FORWARD TO WRITE THIS PART!!!!!

Either you are related from Yuto or Minkyun side and either one of them later joined the family. Confusing? OK example you are Yuto’s sibling by blood and then later Minkyun joined. Or in reversed, Yuto joined later.

1. You are the youngest sibling (could be in terms age when the family comes together or you being born later OR stand in of Yuto’s youngest sister)

2. You are the middle sibling, being either Yuto’s elder blood sibling or Minkyun’s younger sibling but is older than Yuto.

3. Or you are the eldest (Good luck if you do lol there will be a lot of face palming), and alot of  “Yuto, I thought you are on my side????”

Any scenario that is suitable to your own imagination. Also there will be some repeated ideas from first universe because i would like to keep characterization consistency.

Btw this pair of sibling would be one of the noisiest.

My recommendation, you are the middle sibling. But you can totally imagine that your are younger ones. I will try to elaborate both, I hope i won’t confuse you guys🙈

Also age recommendations, Minkyun born in 1995 while Yuto is 1999, so if you are the middle sibling, your birth year is at between.  I would prefer as 1997 or 1998. Preferable that 1997 born if you are Yuto’s sibling, while 1998 born if you are Minkyun’s. 

 If you are the youngest, either you are same age as Yuto but later birthdate or the 3rd child that born after your parents marriage, in this case, 2 years younger than Yuto and 6 years younger than Minkyun.

Heads up I mentioned in the Hyojin & E-tion household, 3 households in this universe are very close to each other.So, apologies in advance and by all means there is not explicit favoritism (I did wrote about household interacting for previous universes). It just convenient and i felt we can use it this way.  Also, Minseok is Yuto’s classmate.

General headcanons

Yuto family moved to Korea when he is still a toddler. So he speaks Korean outside and Japanese back home. Because his family speaks in Kansai dialect, Yuto picks up that dialect automatically

Of course it could be Yuto’s family moved to Korea when he is at middle school age as well, it can be flexible.

Minkyun struggling to learn Japanese but then give up. But it never stops him to randomly drops in weird Japanese when he is hyper, and then leaving Yuto （and you）facepalming because Minkyun used it wrongly

Actually even though mature but super sensitive brothers. Well in very different ways. But should you live with them long enough, you pick up that intuitively 

I dont think this family will have alot of fight because both are sensitive in nature and deeply scare to hurt each other. So this family is all about giving out mental security to family members as well.

(its very different from MInseok Yuto household, because them 2 are in same age, so there is less factor to consider, while Yuto would have to put in Minkyun being a hyung when he started to get used to Minkyun’s existence. And Minkyun will sometimes, not in a bad way, being to passionately and freeminded hoping the younger one to open up more)

I mean, Yuto is defo the tsundere one while Minkyun radiates big puppy energy for this pair chemistry.

Loud

Bonus, Yuto never knew Minkyun can be that clingy lol XD

Minkyun never knew Yuto can be such a fan towards his weird antics XD He thought Yuto wont get his joke due to cultural differences, but turns out Yuto loves it (well cause mostly is body gag/ mom gaegu, like you see what Minkyun did during his birthday’s mini game heaven in 2020, that suddenly motor engine starting? Ya that is total epic lol )

Its super harmonious? like this family combi does not shy away on expressing hey i need help and family members super volunteer to help out if needed. (not that i mean other family does not help out each other, but this one is particularly doing it with super high tendency)

Due to Japanese background, Yuto might try to settle things on his own, but Minkyun will break that mindset stereotype and helps him out (like why you think it is a hassle for me? Ask for help if needed that is what family is here for.)

Minkyun playing guitar while singing and that is how your family know if he is at home or not.

Yeap in this universe Minkyun is a songwriter while Yuto is a dance coach and dancer (later when they all grow up, BTW i am thinking that Yuto and Minseok runs a dance academy later on.)

Minkyun is also part time sponsor/volunteer at pet shelter. In the end you and Yuto also are familiar faces at the spot. 

Also, hanging out being little part timers at Baskin Robbins lol

OH IF WANNA TRULY LINK EVERYTHING FOR UNIVERSE 3, BASKIN ROBBINS being the main meetup/setup point.  Jaeyoung is Minkyun’s friend so he would always drop by to have ice cream. While Changyoon could be doing a part time job there before and while occasionally drop by when he is nearby. 

welp they all live in the neighbourhood/same city in this universe so they all coincidentally bump at each other very often.

Either Yuto joining a school dance club or a dance academy  so there is where he met Minseok. (Who is a really curious kid who also look up to Yuto and Yuto also look up to him, cos dance talents)

(for this part I wont be talking about how Minkyun snuggling cat snacks cos its repeating what I wrote.)

 Scenario 1

If you are related with Yuto and Minkyun is the new join

Could you be are extroverted and you kind off help Yuto to get close to Minkyun

You and Yuto would find this new brother fascinating. He looks quiet at the beginning but later he will prove you both wrong

But when Minkyun is his serious mode, you will feel strange towards that too, because how can he has such large gap

i thinking its super cute and funny that if you and Yuto both gets intimidated at Minkyun’s height lol

It will be fun if Yuto has a denial stage aka hard time opening up to accept it because he is cautious, but you just bluntly accept it and joins Minkyun. It shows difference between personality of related blood siblings lol

IF actually you and your blood brother are introvertedly fun, Minkyun’s existence will be the key to spark both of your dork traits. It is a assuring factor for your parents that you 3 hang out very well.

its not like your family never heard Yuto laughed, but ever since Yuto and Minkyun opened up and gets close, Yuto is laughing alot.

you and Yuto both asking MInkyun for help when you two could understand some Koreans. But since Minkyun fools around 50:50, you two ends up googling or just straight up asking your friends

But if it is homework/grammar wise, Minkyun will really really explain it to you.

Minkyun also get close towards Yuto’s classmate, Minseok. I think a few times, you did not join, but the boys went out to roam the streets to feed stray cats/animals.

Bonus if in this hc, and you are younger than Yuto, and you have a crush on Minseok. Minkyun picks it up and would wanna help out but you told him to keep still XD

you three gonna be game buddies for sure lol

Scenario 2

If you are related with Minkyun and Yuto is the new joined / OR my preference, Yuto being the home stay student, and your family ends up unofficially adopts a Japanese sibling since Yuto continues his homestay contract with your family.

You and Minkyun thought Yuto is a bit distant in the beginning, and you three overwork your brains on trying too hard not to do something impolite towards each other culture.

But you and Minkyun would be surprise at how Yuto is so adapted to Korean culture later on.

Could be you are similarly shy like Yuto and need time to open up. This time Minkyun will be the one to open up first and slowly helps you.

Minkyun would suggest 3 of you to hang out at pet shelter. It does help.s

hould it is the homestay hc, I do see your family and Yuto’s family going along very well. Occasionally showing up to greet Yuto’s family during Skype session.

As Minkyun is the one who gave up, you are the one who would pick Japanese up later on. It gave Minkyun a shock when you and Yuto casually switching Japanese and Korean (with you amateur Japanese, but its already enough to give Minkyun a fright)

He might pout a bit, thinking/semi blaming himself a bit for not putting more effort to try to manifest the tool get close with Yuto. But then will throw the worry aside because its not really that important. Because he understands that its not like he and Yuto could not communicate anyways.

if it is the student hc, This could be when you and Minkyun are still high shcool-ers/ middle school-ers. And your school opens for foreigns students.

Minkyun being a bit worried because of he is 95er and Yuto a 99er. But when one day he sees Minseok come to visit, he goes: “ OMG thank goodness, I was so worried that he could not get along with classmate.”

Yuto just sidelining his hyung lol like chill dude, I interacts just fine ok. Don’t worry. 

(maybe Minseok comes to pass homework for Yuto because Yuto was sick and Minseok know the address.)

Similar to above, should you are Minkyun’s younger sibling, he can picks up that you have a crush on Minseok too.

Scenario 3

If you are the child that born later from your parents marriage

Them both flustered when they first meet the baby you.

Idk why for this hcs, I felt that age gap will be wider, as Yuto and Minkyun’s parents come together when them both are more older than other hcs. My age range idea is Yuto is about 10 or 13 while Minkyun is 14 or 17.

So, also I do think them both had a fight with parents, especially the mom because of her decision to get pregnant at older age. But quickly reconciled, they are just worried, no bad intentions. 

Because they are more grown compared to other hcs for this scenario, they help out on babysitting even more and even practical.

Minkyun basically is just like a young flustered dad while Yuto is the calmer one. But sometimes when the baby you throws a tantrum because you specifically wanted mommy, cues in both  Minkyun and Yuto flustered.

Also, Minkyun being funny but you are unbothered, 3 seconds later, it was Yuto who could not hold in and burst out laughter. 

You might be the one who pick up the language. And because you master both language, maybe later on your career pick would be interpreter

Rather than Yuto gets confused with language, you are the one who gets confused with language  in the beginning lol

It only got better when Yuto decided that you should speak Japanese with him and Korean with Minkyun in the household.

Minkyun is gonna let his baby young sibling ride him, and he will do his iconic either elephant or horse voice imitations.

(super funny bonus, if you are scared of that when you are a baby, but it got better later on.)

A/N I will stop here because I dont wanna write repetitive stuffs

[merryfortune]

Heaven Is Not A Place On Earth: Outline

This is a fic I’m never going to write but I do have it outlined to 89% completion, I figured that I would share it so interested parties could have a glimpse into what could have been~

my outline is a list which contains 100+ items so be careful when you open up the post. also, warnings for adultery, murder & character deaths

1.      Mieru divines the blessed army to lead against the Academia Invasion but also Zarc’s Scourge

2.      Reiji takes Reira from their room; Mieru muses on how its strange that the Queen wanted another child in the wake of Ray’s death

3.      The three of them are then joined by Tsukikage who brandishes his teleportation ARM

4.      The four arrive at a safe place for Reiji to conduct the Monban Pierrot ritual

5.      Whilst that is happening, Mieru passes the time by doing some fortune telling in order to divine what kind of person(s) the Legendary Hero is going to be; she has some light-hearted moments imagining a musclebound hero, a charming hero, but also anxieties about a hero being malevolent rather than beneficial to the army

6.      Yuya and Yuzu are summoned

7.      Mieru is Shaken™ because she’s had dreams about Yuya and done seances, trying to contact him and realises that Yuya is her soul mate

8.      Yuya talks about how his father went missing as a child and how his father would talk to him about Marchen before he went missing; Yuzu verifies

9.      Reiji has his suspicions especially since Yuya looks very similar to a travelling magician Reiji met once as a child prior to his father’s court being dissolved and his father escaping because of war crimes

10.  Their army grows from four to six and Reiji muses about how that means there are four members left to find

11. Reiji charts a course for them when Tsukikage receives a message from his brother talking about raids happening against them; he thinks it might be related to Zarc’s Scourge

12.  (spoilers, it’s not: its Shun & Yuto)

13.  Reiji hosts a meeting with the vassals and speak with victims of the scourge; he tells Mieru to look after their “guests” plus Reira

14.  Yuya and Yuzu are treated to some assimilation in the city to help them less stand out and also equip them with the necessary means to fight in this world given that they were summoned to be soldiers

15.  Yuzu gets separated from the group; she encounters Yuto

16.  Yuya gets separated from the group; he encounters Sora

17.  Shun picks a fight with Reiji when he separates from the group

18.  They get into a fight and Reiji remembers Mieru’s prophecy regarding the hunting bird and the dove

19.  Yuzu, Yuya, and Sora all meet up

20.  Mieru is panicking but eventually regroups with the others; Sora disappears afterwards and makes Suspicious Comments about Yuzu and Yuya being so friendly with a witch

21.  Yuya gets defensive and asks why Sora would say such cruel things about the crown princess of Keldea

22.  Sora goes :0 and then >:3 in reaction to that and then excuses himself

23.  Mieru has a reaction to that probably

24.  They rejoin with Reiji again who announces that they have a bird to hunt for sport

25.  Reiji vs Shun PART TWO, HELL YEAH

26.  Reiji wins and the peanut gallery – namely Yuya and Yuzu – are gobsmacked by how powerful those little trinkets are

27.  Shun is thoroughly defanged by the match and swears his allegiances because he knows now that Reiji is unaffiliated with Academia

28.  Shun joins the Lancers

29.  Reiji decides that their next course of action will be to recruit “the nobleman” but he has no idea who that is, but he has a sneaking suspicion that it’s the one nobleman that he can’t stand because Fates is Hashtag Like That

30.  So, he organises a meeting with said nobleman

31.  And his suspicions are proven correct

32.  Some sort of Sawatari side quest begins

33.  Yuya and Yuzu get a moment to shine/use their ARMs and it turns out that shit is way harder than the pros make it look

34.  Some sort of Sawatari side quest ends

35.  Army grows to eight: leaving only the spy, the defector, and the strongman

36.  Gongenzaka side quest begins

37.  Tsukikage and Mieru get the chance to have a Big Damn Heroes Moment inside of it, probably

38.  Yuto also probably reappears at some point to go “Shun, what the fuck?” and “oh, hi Yuzu, you look really pretty today”

39.  Gongenzaka side quest ends

40.  He, Yuzu, and Yuya get along really well

41.  Their movement begins to attract the attention of Academia

42.  Thus introducing Serena who wants to prove her worth but everyone’s like “oh kitten, not now, dearest” and she resents that

43.  Serena attempts to take the head of Prince Reiji

44.  She is inadvertently intervened by Yuzu who just wants some hash tag girl time with a girl she doesn’t loathe since Mieru is really not that subtle about her crush on Yuya

45.  Serena learns that Academia is… Not Good

46.  They split up??? IDK maybe Shun chases her off or something only to go “wait, shit, was that Ruri??”

47.  Serena’s bodyguard (what’s his face) tries to find her and bring her back

48.  Serena fends him off for a while but fails

49.  But luckily, it’s Reiji’s turn (again) for a Bid Damn Heroes moment and Serena is like “oh god, oh fuck, he’s kind of hot for a skinny prick”

50.  Reiji then successfully recruits Serena

51.  And also escalates Academia into progressing the war games

52.  Whilst that’s happening, Yuya is having an identity crisis because of Yuto

53.  And then Yugo shows up and that identity crisis doubles

54.  Zarc’s Scourge begins to… be a thing

55.  Anyway, Sora sorts them out and then flees when the rest of the Lancers who are capable of fighting turn up

56.  The following day people have no idea what’s going on

57.  And to make matters worse, Reiji receives a formal invite to the War Games

58.  The date has been chosen, and he’s looking at his army and they’re all dumbasses, so he has Mieru prepare a training trip for them

59.  Implied training montage

60.  And that brings us to the date of the War Games, so they head to the location of the War Games in the Citadol or whatever

61.  Introducing Melissa Claire to the scene; she’s going to be our host for the War Games

62.  They arrive and Reiji is lowkey stressed because they’re missing a member and they have no idea what’s going on

63.  But oh hey look, Dennis is here.

64.  Flashback establishing Dennis’ relationship with Reiji and Mieru as the royal court jester of Keldea

65.  Dennis “offers” to be the extra set of hands Reiji needs and Reiji is highkey suspicious, but you know what? Adult life is already so goddamn weird, this may as well happen

66.  Mieru has a dumbass moment here probably regarding Dennis

67.  Anyway, there’s a trumpet sequence and out come Sora, bouncing and happy, eating candy, saying hello to his dear friends Yuya and Yuzu but uh oh…

68.  He’s revealed to be a part of Academia’s entourage

69.  The Professor, The Tyler Sisters, Yuri, Edo, [name], a Brainwashed Rin and Ruri also appear

70.  Melissa begins to explain how the War Games will work

 The War Games will proceed until one side has lost more than half their players

 Losing players are killed or treated as though they have been killed

At some point, every member of the team has to have been on the field in the duel

 If a Captain (so Reiji or the Professor) loses then the War Games are over, no matter how premature but there is a ban on either of them entering the fray until at least day four.

A dice will decide which players fight and when

Environments for the duels are chosen “at random”

71.  And then she has a light bulb moment when she notices something remiss regarding Academia. Melissa points out that Academia technically doesn’t have players for the War Game

72.  The Professor smirks and says “They’re here, give them a moment”

73.  Dennis has a shifty moment

74.  Melissa declares the War Games feast open and that the matches will begin tomorrow

75.  Round 1: Sawatari vs Edo

76.  Sawatari astounds everyone and manages to win the match

77.  Round 2: Shun vs Sora

78.  Lancers win

79.  Round 3: Mieru & Dennis vs Yuri & Sora

80.  Dennis risks revealing himself to be the spy and aides Yuri and Sora by throwing the match

81.  Mieru loses and Reiji is like “oh shit, maybe I do have feelings for my fiancé, even though I have been technically cheating on her”

82.  Additionally, Reiji realises that “the spy” from Mieru’s prophecy is not a spy working for him, like he had hoped/otherwise thought

83.  Round 4: Shun and Tsukikage vs The Tyler Sisters

84.  Lancers win and the Tyler Sisters are severely punished for it

85.  Leo kills them in cold blood in front of everyone and it finally sinks in for Yuya and Yuzu that Marchen isn’t as fluffy as they thought it was

86.  Round 6: Gongenzaka vs Dennis

87.  Lancers win and Dennis, at least temporarily, kills himself off-screen but Gongenzaka finds his suicide note or equivalent

88.  Round 7: Serena vs [her old bodyguard]

89.  Round 8: Yuya & Yuzu vs Rin & Ruri

90.  Lancers win and manage to break the spell Rin & Ruri were under

91.  Shun and Ruri have a heartfelt reunion

92.  Reiji steps in before anything can happen to Rin, so she finds asylum with the lancers

93.  Rin is amnesiac now??? Maybe???

94.  Final Round: Reiji & Yuya vs The Professor & Yuri

95.  Lancers win and Reiji goes to murder Leo and Yuya is like “bitch what the fuck, you can’t kill him, he’s your father”

96.  And Reiji’s like “well I have to; he broke one of the most important laws of Keldea

97.  Reiji proceeds to kill Leo in front of Yuya

98.  Yuya goes berserk

99.  Reiji has an “oh shit” moment

100.                      Yuri, who was barely standing, also goes berserk

101.                      Reiji realises there is an unexpected element in his father’s plan: it wasn’t just total domination of Keldea and Marchen, there was something else which even Reiji didn’t know about and it’s too late now to ask him what his goal is because he’s a corpse

102.                      Yuzu manages to calm Yuya

103.                      Serena manages to calm Yuri

104.                      The War Games are over, but Reiji still needs to quell Zarc’s scourge, especially since something is Wrong

105.                      Rin tells him about Yugo and Reiji begins to wonder

106.                      Four boys; four girls: Zarc and Ray – is it all connected? Can it all be connected?

107.                      He and Mieru have a deep and meaningful on the topic

108.                      Yugo returns to plot somehow???

109.                      Stuff happens???

110.                      Final confrontation with Yu-Boys vs Yu-Girls

111.                      Ray resurrects via Reira somehow

112.                      Zarc is defeated

113.                      Relationships are somehow resolved

114.                      Happily ever after :)
