graduation — hrj

you and renjun go for a walk after your graduation ceremony from art school, and as always, your boyfriend manages to take your breath away with his kind words.

pairing... renjun × afab!reader

genre... fluff

word count... i have no idea sorry

requested?... no!

a/n just a little something i wrote for funzies after listening to graduation by the dreamies a few times (i got inspired), and i must say that even though its not entirely proof-read, i hope you guys enjoy this piece of random fluff <3

It was finally here, the day they always dreamt of, their graduation. High school was hard enough, and college took an even harder toll for the sensible pair — Renjun and Y/N didn’t quite match with the academic way of life. It's not about how smart they could be, it was just that the strict system present in education suffocated them to the point where panic could be induced.

They’ve been key participants in each other's lives when it came to finally finishing high school or even while in college, supporting each other through thick and thin, one make-up test after the other, one exam week after the other, and so on. One might say Renjun was destined to meet you, because of how much it helped to be by your side, and vice versa.

One day back in 9th grade, you ended up meeting while skipping class on the big grass field located behind the school. Renjun was surprised to see anyone else besides him on his spot, since he thought he was the only one who knew about it. Years later, he thanks the heavens for giving him the opportunity to talk to the most beautiful girl he knew. You.

You were sitting down, knees glued to your chest while hands supported your chin. The sun managed to hit your face perfectly, in an almost ethereal way, lighting up all the soft and breathtaking features present. Your side profile highlighted the beauty was what really drew him in. The chinese boy swears up and down that he could stand there, admiring you just like that, for all eternity.

He still doesn’t know what possessed him to go on over and talk to you, but soon enough, Renjun plopped down next to your side and got to talking. You were also starstruck and incredibly smitten by the boy. It amazed you how the most popular boy among the artsy kids was paying you attention. You couldn't believe someone like him was even talking to you, but then, there he was.

And that day marked the beginning of your love story. The hours of talking went into days, the days into months, and now, months into years. 

Renjun confessed his feelings for you a little over a year ago, which then led to your now relationship.

“I can’t believe we actually did it.” You sound out, reaching for his hand receiving a loving look in return. “Like, we graduated from art school together. I honestly can’t believe it,” Renjun and you were walking down the park in order to digest the food you guys ate. The sun was setting, giving your stroll a beautiful ambience to appreciate from a distance. “We need to search for art galleries that need new employees or-"

“Well, I for one, can! We’re destined to always be together.” He softly interrupted her and his even softer smile made your cheeks gain a bright red tone. He was always so sweet to you, even while interrupting, that it felt like a dream to be able to call him your boyfriend. “And let’s worry about that tomorrow! Let’s focus on celebrating for now."

“How can you be so chill about this?!” You tried to pretend that you weren't totally smitten by him and his antics, which made Renjun look at you with even more endearment. One could say it was a vicious cycle that never seemed to end: you'd get flustered and he’d make you feel even more flustered. “We need to make rent, and also starting looking for a bigger place and-”

Renjun then leaned in, suddenly pulling you by the waist, not paying any mind to the worries you brought up — of course he knew that you definitely needed to discuss those concerns, but right now wasn’t the right time. Your faces were inches away from each other, noses touching and bodies pressed together. Your hands rested on his shoulders, while the grip on your waist by his firm hands never once faltered.

Not being able to contain yourself any longer than a few seconds, you gently press your lips against his, the action making him smile mid kiss. Renjun couldn’t blame your eagerness as he also couldn’t restrain himself, which then led to him deepening the kiss only moments after.

It’s also worth mentioning that Renjun was so eager to have you on his lips that he had a hard time keeping his hands solely on your waist. It’s a shame you were in public, because if you weren’t, he was ready to have you on his lap right then and there, while his soft lips explored the entirety of your body.

“I love you so much, you know that right?!” He said, as soon as you pulled away in need of some oxygen. “I don’t think I could even live without you.”

This was one of the things you loved the most about Renjun, he never hid how he felt about you and even went out of his way just to tell you. It was recomforting to always feel loved and secure in a relationship, especially in a relationship with him.

“And I… I also love you beyond words.” You shyly said, hiding your face on her hands right after out of embarrassment. It's ridiculous how he always managed to get you this shy, especially taking into consideration that you weren't used to saying what and how you felt, and being with Renjun was helping you learn to be more vocal about this.

He could only smile upon hearing her words, since Renjun knew how hard it was for her to say stuff like that. Not a day went by where he didn’t feel proud of her for becoming more and more comfortable in her own skin.

“God, can I just stay by your side forever? Will you allow me to, beautiful?” Thankfully you were still in his arms when the question popped up, or else you'd have face planted into the floor right then and there. Renjun’s firm grip and his sparkly eyes were the only things keeping you grounded and on the moment. “Even if everything changes on this earth, even if the sun freezes up, it’s you I want by my side, Y/N. Even if I lose everything… I can’t lose you.”

His beautifully poetic and devoted words almost made tears start to stream down your face. You didn’t think someone could romantically love you this much until you met Renjun. He widened your horizons and opened your eyes to the beauty of true love.

Nothing could have prepared you to hear those words at the moment, nor to see the look in his eyes or to feel his body pressed upon yours. His ability to know what to say before you even long to hear a confession, never ceases to amaze you.

“You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me, Junnie.” You kissed him deeply, once again, in order to express what words couldn’t at the moment. And also, if you tried to talk, you fear that you wouldn't be able to finish speaking without crying your eyes out for a good amount of time. “You’re mine and I’m yours. Forever.” You placed your hand over his heart, and did the same with his hand, gesture sending chills down his spine.

How come two people can have their souls be this deeply intertwined? You guys wouldn’t be able to answer how, but would only be able to say that it could happen and that such connection was real. After spending some more time cuddled up like that in the middle of the park, you guys started walking down the path once again, hearts filled with joy and peace.

You could only think about how lucky you were to have him, and Renjun could only think about that soon, he’d be able to proudly call you his wife.

♡︎ author's note | this is messy, as always lol. also not proofread, i just really need to dump write rn to fight & prevent writer's block. i hope y'all like it. reblogs are highly appreciated

A typical night was just about to get done for your boyfriend, Haechan, and his best friend, Renjun. A cold evening it was and you were engulfed by Haechan's arms in a cuddle, warming you up as you mindlessly waste your time together. Renjun went into the Haechan's room not long after, his hands holding up snacks to be eaten later, to see you and your boyfriend being oh-so-lovey dovey with each other.A sigh of annoyance was heard from Renjun as he rolled his eyes upon seeing the "cheesy" sight in front of him.

"You know, you can just ask if you could join us if you're jealous, injunnie," Haechan teased Renjun, pulling the shorter boy closer to the both of you despite the subtle protest of the Chinese. "There. Come cuddle with us, grumpy head. I'm pretty sure [y/n] is just alright with that. Yeah?" Your boyfriend continued, asking you for your consent to which you gave a small nod and a bright smile as a response. Although hesitant, Renjun walked towards your back before hugging you from behind — making you sandwiched in between your boyfriend and his best friend.

The warmth felt nice, but there's one thing you couldn't avoid — the feeling of getting tensed up upon being touched intimately, whether it was intentional or not. Haechan kissed the crown of your head upon feeling you get tense, "What's wrong, baby? Why are you so tense, hm?" He asked, his hands wandering around your body as he watched you try to relax yourself.

"Are you somehow loving this, boy?" Renjun seductively whispered to your ear, which caused you to shiver due to how sudden it was. You looked up to Haechan to see how he's doing only for you to see him smirking lewdly.You furrow your eyebrows as you take a look at your boyfriend's reaction, shocked — he's supposed to be getting jealous right now, seeing how possessive he could get when it comes to the other members of NCT or anyone in particular — is he perhaps planning something? A few questions of confusion came up to your mind that you didn't notice the — naughty — looks that Donghyuck and Renjun gave each other.

"Tell me, boy. What do you want right now?" Renjun cryptically asked, not giving any context to what he's trying to point out, but still somehow sent what he's meaning to say to you. "W-what?" You questioned, confused.

You heard Haechan click his tongue, his hands softly grabbing your hair, pulling it back a little, to let him see more of your face. "You know what he's meaning, baby boy. Do you want my best friend to touch you like I do, hm?" Your boyfriend asked, but this time, a clearer message was told. You didn't answer, a hard gulp was your only action — were they planning this all along?

Renjun sent Donghyuck a look again before sending his hands to go under your hoodie and roam around your bare skin, "Answer me, [y/n]. You know how much I hate it when you don't use your words, right?" Haechan ordered a stern command.

"Mhm~ I want you both to touch me~" you hummed, your voice quivering a little as you felt Renjun's hand roam down to your erected cock. Haechan chuckled at you before proceeding to send his hands inside your clothes and fondling your nipples, that earned them a breathless moan from you. Soonly, Renjun latched his lips on your neck, finding your sweet spot in an instant, that made you gasp a whimper again.

The hands of Renjun travelled to the waistband of your sweatpants before plunging in to take a hold of your cock to jerk it off. You were about to release a noise once again when Donghyuck kissed you roughly to muffle you from being heard by the other members outside the room.

Maybe the Chinese boy was loving this a little too much — a bulge forming a tent through his shorts, cock leaking so hard — that he started leaving obvious marks on your neck. Your boyfriend, on the other hand, was busying himself on stimulating your erected buds before trailing his hands down to pull your shorts down to your thighs — still kissing you deeply — to help Renjun play with your cock more. Renjun then teases your balls down to your taint before circling his fingertips on your rim that makes you clench around nothing, moans being sent into Haechan's mouth as he makes out with you.

"Holy fuck, hyuck! He's clearly enjoying being touched like this~" you heard Renjun exclaim as Haechan breaks the kiss to see both of Renjun hands are playing with your cock and hole, the fingers of his other hand — the one pumping your cock — getting smeared by a copious amount of precum. "Such a needy manwhore for us~ You're already leaking just by getting touched like this? You want us to wreck you, huh?" Donghyuck asked, in which you replied with a nod and a small whimper. "Use your fucking words, slut," he reprimanded.

"YES! I WANT THE TWO OF YOU TO FUCK ME!" you exclaimed. They sniggered before lifting you up to adjust their positions. Haechan kissed your forehead as he cups your face, "That's my boy. You know your colors so tell us if you're uncomfortable, yeah?" You nodded.

Haechan then adjusted himself lower, his head in between your thighs, while Renjun angled himself in a position where he could easily facefuck you. In no time, the three of you were undressed, the sexual tension within the room growing heavier and heavier as time goes by.

"Going to prep his cute hole for you~" Haechan told Renjun before diving into your ass. You were about to moan when Renjun, all of a sudden, shoved his cock inside your mouth — not too rough, yet not too soft — that caused a suppression of your noises. Haechan began pushing 2 fingers inside you while doing a scissoring motion to stretch you out properly, whileas Renjun plunges all of his cock down your throat, causing you to gag hardly on his length.

Being knowledgeable about how to make you feel good, Haechan began simultaneously eating you out as he fingers you, his digits never failing to hit your prostate that had sent you moaning around Renjun's cock more. The vibrations from your moans caused Renjun to go crazier, and grow addicted to the pleasurable feeling inside your mouth.

You squirmed at all the sensations you've been feeling right now, trying to move your hips continuously, out of instincts, to let Haechan go deeper inside you. Renjun, meanwhile, was throwing his head back in pleasure, while Haechan delights himself to the taste of you. It didn't take too much time for you and Renjun to ride on your own orgasms; you cummed on Haechan's face, as Renjun spilled his load down your throat.

Renjun pulls out as Haechan adjusts himself again at the same time before placing you on his thighs, him facing your back, with your legs wide open. Upon seeing your position, Renjun situated himself in front of you, practically sandwiching you in between him and his best friend again.

"He's ready for us, yeah?" Renjun asked for assurance, to which Haechan replied with a nod."You're going to take our cocks like the good boy you are, yeah?" Haechan inserted his fingers in your mouth, making you hum around those digits in a response of agreement. The moment you give them your reply, you hang your mouth wide open. Breathless moans coming out of you as you felt yourself getting stretched out to the heavens. This feels better than how you'd imagine this to be, though it's quite painful, the feeling was still addicting and it's driving you nuts to have both of your boyfriend and best friend's cocks inside you.

Due to the prepping earlier, it didn't take much effort for them to bottom themselves out on you, their tip effortlessly hitting your prostate, causing you to whimper in a mixture of pain and ecstasy. "T-thanks for sharing this tight hole with me— FUCK! SO FUCKING TIGHT!" Renjun managed to babble in between his grunts, continuing, "he's truly made to be a slut for our dicks, wasn't he?"

"Hell yeah~! Such a good fucking slut~" Haechan remarked. You didn't expect them to be so dirty like this, usually Haechan was focusing more on praising and being a service dom just for you, but this time felt different — the way they called you degrading names made you feel all the butterflies stir inside your stomach — and you're liking this. The two of them thrusted into you at the same time, their cocks battling for space inside your tight hole as they fuck you relentlessly. Renjun starts to kiss your neck and shoulders, along with Haechan to at least help you ease out the pain, where they were successful in doing so. You were crossing your eyes in pure frenzy at this point, your mind going dumb as you drown yourself in an overwhelming wave of euphoria.

"S-so good 'n full— ah— m-more please!" Your words are incoherent, breathless moans taking over your babbles as you arch your back in a perfect arc. You took a hold of Haechan's hands as they fuck you rough, tears streaming down your face due to the atrocious yet enraptured overjoy that you were receiving right now.

They smirked at your figure, they couldn't believe how easy it was for them to make you into a crying mess in a matter of minutes, and they weren't complaining. The feeling of your walls engulfing their shafts in a tight space was already euphoric enough to make them moan deeply against your skin, and it made them go over the edge through the way you clench and tighten your hole around them.

"He's going dumb, 'Hyuck, look at him~" Renjun commented, completely loving the way you cry over their cocks. "Fuck~ he looks so hot, doesn't he? Crying like this for our dicks? It makes me want to fuck and fill him up more," dirtily, Haechan talked.Their words sent you into an endless overdrive. The dirty talk they had just made churned your stomach into a lot of unexplainable sensations, your climax being included, and in an instant, you released a guttural moan of bliss as you cummed profusely.

"That's it, sweet boy~ Cum for us~" Haechan said before nibbling your earlobe. They were getting incredibly close to their own highs too, their thrusts becoming inconsistent as they began to feel their orgasms in the base of their lengths."Fuck— I'm gonna cum— I'm going to fill you up until you're fucking bloated and you're gonna love it whether you want it or not—" slurry phrases spew out of Renjun as time by time, he was getting addicted to the feeling of his cock against Haechan's inside your hole.

"YES YES YES! FILL ME UP WITH YOUR CUM PLEASE! WANNA FEEL ALL YOU CUM INSIDE ME!" you yelled desperately — no care coming out of you right now to whoever can hear your nasty screams..With everything unfolding in a dirty way, they rode their own climaxes in a short amount of time. They spurted out all of their loads inside you that made you squeal due to how full you were.

They didn't stop from overstimulating you even after they cummed. They swiftly pulled out of you before going and placing their heads on your hole to lick all of the cum dripping off of you. The feeling was too much, and it made you cum once again. Tongues alternating on licking your sensitive cock and hole, hands roaming around your body, you began to tremble from overstimulation, but the feeling for you was heavenly.

After cleaning you up using their mouths, they took turns on kissing you — making sure that they pass all of the cum that they were able to collect from your leaking hole to your mouth. The three of you alternated sloppy kisses, swapping all the cum and spit before having you to swallow it.

As you pulled away, you fell weak on the matress, panting heavily while trying to catch your breath.

"Holy fuck— that was hot—" Haechan commented, "we should film it next time!" Continued the boy excitedly, that earned him some chuckles from you and Renjun.

"Yeah, yeah. But can you two baby me and clean me up now? My ass is still hurting," you remarked before feeling a kiss being planted on your forehead.

"Sure, babe."

Yeah, you'll let this to happen again, but maybe with Jeno or Jaemin next time.

why wont you love me // hrj [02]

pairing: renjun x reader

Renjun and y/n are an inseparable pair; they know each other like the back of their own hands. For the most part. Renjun keeps his true feelings hidden; y/n refuses to acknowledge their own. Both hold the fear of losing each other. But will one night out and a little too much to drink change everything?

a/n: hello part two is f i n a l l y here- sorry for the super long wait ;-; lmk if you want to be in a taglist ^-^

A week without Renjun and the boys proved to be a lot more difficult than you expected. On any other day, a normal day, you would have Renjun or Jisung on video call to keep you company whilst doing your work, cleaning the house, or just any other task. On any other day, you’d have a few of the boys lounging around your apartment, studying, doing project work, playing video games, spending their time in the comfort of your tidy home if they needed to get away from their own. Most of the time, it didn’t even feel like you lived alone.

Needless to say, with your main group of friends away on their trip, you were bored. With the boys doing their own trip activities, it was hard to get a normal, lengthy video call in. Procrastination was one of your biggest enemies in the deafening silence of your empty apartment. Without the company of your friends occupying your phone, and your current lack of self control, you were sprawled out on your bed scrolling through Instagram, your essay long forgotten.

You sat up abruptly when you opened Renjun’s story and were greeted with a photo of him and a shorter girl wrapped in his arms. Your chest tightened and at their bright smiles. You chewed on your bottom lip as you stared at the photo, the strange sensation in your chest growing. After a few seconds, you decided to close the app, the feeling (which, you concluded to be anxiety) building inside of you became overwhelming very quickly. You placed your phone face down on your bed and slowly laid back against the covers. You stared blankly at your ceiling and drummed your fingers on your bedsheets and chest.

A ding sounded from your phone and your hand flew to grab it. You hesitated to look at the screen though, unsure if you were hoping it was from Renjun or not. Ten seconds passed, and after a deep breath, you look at the message. A sigh fell from your lips when you read the contact name. It was from Jisung. You couldn’t tell if you were relieved or disappointed that it wasn’t Renjun as the anxiety in your chest continued to swirl.

bby chick <3: Are you busy rn bby chick <3: Can u vc bby chick <3: I miss you :(

You felt a pang of guilt for feeling slightly disappointed as you read the younger boys messages. You truly did miss him as well. The situation prior to his messages simply threw you off and into a frenzy of other feelings. Your fingers typed a response quickly.

: I miss you too :( : and no I am not busy, call me <3

It took no longer than 5 seconds for a video call from Jisung to pop up. After a deep breath to push down the previous discomfort within you, you put on a small smile and answered the call. The sight of Jisung’s face lighting up instantly when you appeared on his screen made your smile become more real, the photo of Renjun and that girl being pushed aside for the time being.

“Hii y/n!!” Jisungs voice was lively and excited. The setting sun shone a warm glow on him and the hotel wall. He waved to you, and you waved back.

“Hey Sunggie, how are you doing?” You asked. He didn’t hesitate to respond.

“I’m good, the guys and I miss you tons though! How are you?” Your chest tightened when he returned the question. It always broke your facade at times like this.

“I’m- I’m uh��� yeah, I’m good.” Your feeble attempt at seeming okay was unconvincing as hot tears rolled down your cheeks with each blink. The uncomfortable feeling in your chest returned and your breathing quickened. Though your vision was blurred, you noticed Jisung’s expression fall into one of shock and panic.

“Wha- what’s wrong? Are you okay? Why are you crying?” He stuttered, reaching towards the camera as if trying to reach directly to you. You wiped your cheeks frantically with your sleeves and sniffled, a pathetic laugh falling from your lips.

“Yeah, I’m fine! Nothing is wrong, Ji, don’t worry-” Jisung cut you off gently. Tears continued to fall from your eyes involuntarily.

“Y/n… please don’t lie to me… you’re clearly not fine…” Your chest tightened more at the sadness in his voice. He didn’t like seeing you upset, it made him sad seeing his friend in distress. You tried to dry your tears again, but it was no use. With a quiet sigh of frustration, you ran your hand through your hair. There was no use in trying to lie again, your feelings were impossible to hide at this point.

“I- ugh. Yeah, you’re right. I’m not really okay- I’m sorry.” You looked down at your lap, fiddling with your fingers. Jisung furrowed his eyebrows at your apology.

“No!! Don’t be sorry!” He exclaimed. You glanced up at him and slouched further into yourself. Silence filled both of your rooms. You didn’t know what to say. You were embarrassed; your fear of being abandoned was consuming every bit of you with each passing second the longer you stayed in your head. Abandonment issues weren’t something you’ve ever talked about with any of your friends, there was never a reason to. Not until you saw that photo of Renjun.

The silence stayed for what felt like an eternity of being stuck in your own thoughts on a loop. No matter how many times you tried to tell yourself that Renjun would never just drop you out of the blue, the anxiety just pushed back. Part of you says “he wouldn’t.” but the other part of you fights back with “but he could.” It was a never ending loop; spiraling into yourself with no end in sight. Jisung snapped you out of your thoughts with a question that caused your cheeks to burn with anxiety.

“Do you want to talk about it?” You chewed on your bottom lip and tried to sort your thoughts before speaking. Tears began forming in the corners of your eyes again and they fell down your still damp cheeks when you blinked.

“It’s- ahh. It’s just- that photo of Renjun and that girl. It’s like, stupid but I think it was just anxiety saying like ‘oh Renjun found someone new he doesn’t love me anymore’ kind of-” The string of words fell from you lips quickly and in a mess, your insecurities growing and getting the best of you. Your voice cracked and you sniffled before taking a shaky breath and rubbing your eyes, giving Jisung the opportunity to speak. He was hesitant at first, his voice wavering slightly; he wasn’t exactly sure what to do.

“Hey- um- breathe for a second. Can you, uhm, can you show me the photo?” You nodded and picked up your phone to open Instagram. A feeling of dread grew in your chest and stomach as your finger hovered over Renjun’s story. With a deep sigh, you opened the story, the photo popping up on your screen. You stared at Renjun’s smile for a second before tapping on the small paper airplane icon and sending it to Jisung. You waited quietly as Jisung opened Instagram to see the image. You laid on your back and positioned your phone next to you so the boy could still see you when he returned to the call.

While you were swimming in your own variety of conclusions, Jisung stared at the photo you had just sent, unsure of his next words. He ran his hands over his face and through his hair, knowing that he could potentially make you feel even worse in one way or another.

“Y/n- oh my goodness. Okay- that’s not- that’s like Renjun’s second cousin. We just met her today!” You stared at your ceiling as Jisung returned to the video call.

“I… are you serious? Oh my gosh.” You groaned, tears beginning to fall faster again. Jisung frowned and furrowed his eyebrows, still hating to see you so upset.

“Yeah! Please don’t cry.” Jisung tried to comfort you as best as he could through a tiny screen. You sniffled and whipped the tears from your face, only for more to fall. He sighed softly, feeling slightly helpless.

“Look, even if that wasn’t his relative, I can assure you that all of us love you and we would never just up and leave you for anyone else. Renjun especially. y/n he…” He paused for a second, trying to pick his words cautiously to avoid exposing any secrets that weren’t his.

“You’re his best friend. He, of all people, would never, ever do that to you.” Your tears began to slow as you listened to Jisung, taking in everything he said. The external rationalization was reassuring, but the ache from the idea of losing Renjun continued to loom deep in your chest.

“I know that your anxiety clouds your judgement sometimes but if I can do anything to help at any time, please let me know.” He paused for a second, quickly realizing that you were keeping quiet.

“But if you can’t talk to me for whatever reason, try to remember what I just said.” You sighed softly. Jisung was really trying, and even though your thoughts continued to run wild, you were grateful for his efforts.

“Thank you, Ji. I really appreciate it. I’m sorry for all that; it was just a huge scare about my best friend leaving me over what turned out to be nothing.” You rolled your eyes at yourself. You jumped to conclusions and got upset over a misunderstanding; you felt foolish. Jisung perked up and was quick to validate your feelings.

“Oh! No, please don’t feel like you need to say sorry for feeling.” He frowned at you and played with his fingers. You pursed your lips and looked down at your lap. Silence lingered for a couple seconds before Jisung spoke up again.

“Um, okay. I’m sorry of this is a dumb question, but like- are you sure that was the only reason for your reaction..?” The question made you tilt your head and bring your eyebrows together in slight confusion.

“Uh? Yes? What do you mean?” Jisung turned away and scratched the back of his neck.

“Ah like, I dunno. The use of best friend- I mean like, are you sure you aren’t like, jealous?” Jisung turned his head down slightly, looking up at you with a careful gaze, nibbling the inside of his lip. Your eyes widened and you blinked a few times. Your lips parted to speak and you raised your eyebrows, but the words got caught in your throat. Why is this so hard to answer? You furrowed your brows for a second, regaining your composure enough to form some sort of coherent sentence.

“Oh- well I mean I guess maybe?? But no. What?? He’s my best friend and he’ll always be my best friend.” You tripped over your words as they came out in a mess. Your heart sped up and your cheeks warmed slightly. What is happening?? Jisung furrowed his eyebrows and tugged at his fingers as words began falling from his lips.

“Right- I’m sorry-” He started to panic, but you cut him off softly before he could ramble an apology.

“It’s fine Jisung, don’t worry about it.” You sent him a small, half smile. He chewed on his bottom lip and averted his gaze. Without letting the guilt-filled silence linger, you sighed and clapped your hands together.

“Enough about this stuff. Tell me more about the trip, what have you been up to?” You smiled softly. Jisung looked at you hesitantly and you nodded; an attempt at reassuring him. He took a second and raised his eyebrows before breaking into a smile.

“Well, the day after we arrived we just sort of slept in, but in the afternoon we went into the city...” You smiled as enthusiasm filled his eyes again, but his voice became mere background noise as you got lost in your thoughts once more. Jisung’s previous question coming back and lingering in your mind; “are you sure that was the only reason for your reaction?”

Renjun is my best friend. I don’t want anything more.

You did your best to shake it from consuming you, wanting to focus on Jisung instead. But the tiniest voice in the back of your mind repeated in a loop, Renjun is my best friend. I don’t want anything more. Right?

the diner boy - hrj

diner boy renjun + new diner girl reader

slight enemies to lovers ! 

a/n: this is the first instalment of my nct dream job au (?) basically each member will be the worker / the reader will be the worker. it’s a fun idea i’ve had but never actually bothered writing so i hope you all can enjoy it hehe! 

word count: 2.8k

//

it was your first day of your new waitressing job at your local diner. it was your very first job, and to say you were nervous was a complete understatement. you always strived to be better than what you could usually handle. thus, causing you to overthink and often dramatise certain situations.

as you tied the apron behind your back, you turned to meet a familiar face.

‘fancy seeing you here, stalking me now?’ the voice teased, as the boy who owned it, leant against the counter, wearing the same apron.

‘don’t get any ideas, it’s my first day’ you sighed. 

renjun had always teased you, since your first day at the school. you were a new kid at the start of the year, and found it pretty easy to make friends. renjun, however, disliked how all of his friends were practically pining for your attention. he didn’t see why you were any special from any other new student so instead, to stray away from the constant praise you received from his friends. he decided to not be so nice to you. always teasing if you were late, if you had something in your hair, softly barging past you in the halls.

you were completely aware of his disliking towards you but you tried to not let it get to you. so when you saw that he happened to be working in the same diner, you were just about to quit right then and there.

‘well since it’s your first day, i’ll be sure to make things very difficult for you’ he smirked, watching as your eyes widened.

‘what do you mean?’ you struck back, folding your arms over eachother.

‘i’m the assistant manager so, whatever i say, you do’ renjun had this look in his eyes that you could only describe was mischievous. you were in for one wild ride.

your first shift consisted of you tripping multiple times and spilling plenty of both hot and cold beverages on the floor. then having to mop the floor as well as bus down each table on your own. it was clear that the diner was understaffed, yet renjun didn’t bother to help you at all. you huffed in exhaustion as you finished wiping down your last table for the day. renjun watched as you slowly wiped the sweat from your forehead before glaring at him and making your way to the break room. he wanted to follow you, but your slight slam to the door signalled that wouldn’t be the best idea.

he felt slightly guilty that he didn’t help you at all. but he wanted to stick his ground. he couldn’t give in so easily.

the next shift, you came in feeling exhausted from your first one, but still determined to do your job. renjun stopped you before you entered the back room of the diner.

‘nice work yesterday’ he taunted, blocking you from entering.

‘would have been nice if you decided to help but clearly being nice isn’t something you can do’ you groaned, trying to push past him, grabbing for you apron.

‘yeah yeah, try not to spill any drinks today okay’ he let you past as you gave him another scowl,

‘dickhead’ you muttered under your breath but renjun still heard. a part of him felt hurt by your words.

this shift was slightly better than the first. you were still on edge but it wasn’t completely noticeable by the patrons. you often glanced at renjun, who, for the first time it seemed, was serving customers. he had a surprisingly friendly smile and often laughed along with whatever banter the customers were throwing at him. he made it look so easy. he caught you glancing, giving you a smile as you quickly looked away and continued wiping down tables.

it was getting dark as you and renjun closed up the diner. you made sure everything was in its place before grabbing your jacket and backpack. renjun wanted to stop you before you left, to talk. about anything. but he didn’t know if you would do the same.

‘oh crap’ you groaned, watching as rain began to fall.

‘problem?’ renjun walked up next to you, slightly startling you.

‘uh yeah i caught the bus here and i don’t have an umbrella, i’m gonna be soaked’ you sighed, going through your backpack for any type of protection from the rain. renjun thought to himself for a moment, unsure of what to say to you.

‘i can drive you home’ he suddenly offered, causing you to halt your actions and look up at him. you weren’t sure if he was serious, but he was looking right back at you. renjun hates you, or so you thought. why would he offer to take you home?

‘i’m offering one last time, or else you can go get soaked’ he tapped his foot on the tiles. there’s the renjun you know.

‘yeah okay, thanks for offering’ you mutter, placing your phone into your bag and following him to his car. you watched as he pushed back some of his hair that was dampened from the rain. he looked quite stunning in your eyes.

‘enough staring, don’t get my car seats wet’ he yelled at you over the rain. you rolled your eyes, laying down your spare apron on the seat before getting into the car.

‘oh i wasn’t being serious’ he chuckled for what seemed like the first time you had witnessed.

‘just drive’ you retorted, running your fingers through your damp hair. renjun looked over at you, how you looked so cosy in your large winter jacket. he shook his head to rid of this thoughts before starting the car and following your directions home.

not much was said before the occasional ‘left here’ ‘right there’ but you both enjoyed the company, even if you both couldn’t admit it.

as he pulled up to your driveway, you began collecting your things.

‘thanks for the ride, i appreciate it. see you tomorrow’ you turned to him.

‘it’s fine, you just owe me one day’ he smirked as you rolled your eyes.

‘can’t you just take my gratitude?’

‘ehh where’s the fun in that?’ he was impossible.

‘i’m gonna leave now, bye’ you shut his door, practically bolting to your front door. you still heard his engine running, turning back to see him waiting for you to enter your home. you gave him a wave to signal you were fine, as he left your driveway.

renjun was an interesting guy. definitely one of a kind.

after a few weeks of working at the diner, you had began to get a hang of things. you weren’t totally perfect just yet, but you were well on your way. it became a thing for renjun to drop you home when it got too dark or the weather was bad. you didn’t mind, he began to refrain from making his usual comments during the car rides, and always made sure you entered your house before leaving. you wouldn’t talk as much during your shifts, due to the constant hustle and bustle of the job. but the occasional smiles and waves, sufficed for you both.

one day you were both working, a group of teenagers entered, interrupting the prior calm and collected atmosphere. you and renjun both sighed and looked at eachother.

‘you gonna handle them?’ he stood next to you behind the counter.

‘may as well, you finish up with table 10’ you told him as he nodded before giving you a small thumbs up and attending to his table. you took a deep breath before approaching the group and asking if they were ready to order.

luckily enough for you, that process when smoothly, despite their constant bickering over eachother.

as you were serving them their drinks, you suddenly tripped over one of their feet, causing you to spill the contents of the coca cola on the nearest patron. you instantly fell to the ground, some of the drink staining your white shirt. the group was enraged by the clumsiness, many of them just ranting to eachother, except for one boy. he stood up and began shouting at you, complaining about your ‘poor service’. this caught renjun’s attention as well as many of the other tables. he immediately rushed over to you, helping you up, before facing the boy.

‘look i understand that she made a mistake but that is no way to talk to a woman’ renjun gritted through his teeth, trying to remain using his customer service voice.

‘i don’t need to listen to you, i’d like to speak to the manager’ the boy chuckled at renjun’s efforts to ease the situation.

‘well our manager isn’t in today, but you can talk to the assistant manager, if you wish’ renjun retorted, you watched the confrontation intently.

the boy just nodded, renjun gave him a smirk before stating,

‘well continue with your complaint, you’re talking to the assistant manager’

the boy’s face dropped, as well as his friends. you slightly giggled to yourself as the group decided to up and leave the diner. renjun turned back to you,

‘are you alright?’ for the first time, he properly expressed his concern for you.

‘uh yeah, i’m okay, i’ll go get a mop to clean this mess, i’m so sorry’ you apologise to him, before he stopped you by grabbing your forearm.

‘no, just go and clean yourself up, i’ll get someone else to clean this mess. you can have the rest of the day off’ he gave you a softened smile, in which you returned.

‘thank you so much’ you exclaimed before heading to the back room.

he was your saviour that day.

renjun was late on a particular day, which had you worried. he was usually always here before you were.

‘hey, johnny, where’s renjun?’ you question, wiping down some of the washed dishes.

‘he’s taking a day off, something about preparing for an important family dinner’ johnny shrugged, observing your concerned look.

‘you wanna see him don’t ya?’ johnny teased, pushing his shoulder against yours.

‘what? no! that’s ridiculous’ you mumble the last part, was it really so ridiculous?

‘oh come on, you’ve been glued to him at work lately, it’s cute’ johnny just kept going on, which made you silent. maybe he really was telling the truth.

‘anyways, renjun forgot his payslip along with his travel card here, after your shift can you take it to his house? i’m working over time’ johnny handed you renjun’s belongings, not waiting for you to answer before leaving the kitchen. you stared at the items in your hand before shaking your head and placing them into your backpack. you said goodbye to johnny before exiting the diner and getting into your car to renjun’s house.

you hesitated before ringing the doorbell, remembering that johnny had said that he has an important family dinner.

maybe you could come by tomorrow, you thought. but it was too late as your hand had already pressed the doorbell. you heard some shuffling before the door swung open, revealing a neatly put together, renjun.

‘oh hi y/n, what are you doing here?’ he questioned. you stood silently for a moment before answering,

‘you forgot your travel card and payslip, i just came to drop them by’ you smiled as you handed him the items. he thanked you softly before someone else approached the door.

‘renjun sweetie who is at the door?’ a woman, who assumed was his mother, spoke from behind him.

‘uh a girl from work’ renjun responded. you kind of felt deflated after his response, you were just a coworker to him? not even a friend?

the woman’s face came into view, greeting you with a large smile, resembling much of renjun’s.

‘oh hello! renjun doesn’t really talk much about his work, it’s always like some kind of secret!’ his mother jokes and renjun gives her a playful glare. you stand awkwardly, laughing along.

‘have you eaten yet? we are just about to have dinner, i can pull up a chair for you!’ she persisted, as renjun tried to stop his mother from pulling you inside the house.

‘mum, y/n probably is really busy and has to go home’ renjun tried to argue as you were getting dragged by his mother,

‘actually i didn’t have any plans’ you shrug as his mother led you to a seat at the table. the rest of his family greeted you, including his grandparents and older sister. you greeted them kindly, trying your best not to stick out like a sore thumb. renjun just shook his head before sitting next to you.

dinner conversation didn’t seem like a problem for this family. everyone had something to talk about, something you weren’t used to. renjun chuckled along with all of his family’s jokes and stories, you couldn’t take your eyes off of him.

maybe he just looked so glorious in this moment, you just couldn’t stop.

‘so y/n! are you good friends with our dear renjun?’ his sister began teasing, as his parents and grandparents eyes fell onto the both of you.

‘um i mean, i guess so! we’ve been working together for a few months now, he’s pretty much taught me all i know’ you compliment and renjun just smiles without saying a word.

‘that’s our boy, so helpful and kind’ his grandpa exclaimed as the rest of the family laughed along. you couldn’t help but have this feeling in your stomach, a feeling you felt when you were truly happy.

dinner ended on a light note, everyone dispersing to do their own things. as a guest, you offered to help with the dishes but renjun’s mother declined your offer, only to pack you dessert for when you went home. you held the tupperware box in your hands, making your way to the front door, after bidding goodbye to everyone before renjun stops you. he leads you out to the front of his house, asking you to sit with him on the steps.

‘what’s up?’ you smiled, clinging onto your sweater sleeves due to the soft breeze.

‘i’m glad you decided to stay, even though my mother kinda forced you’ renjun started as you laughed.

‘it’s been a while since i’ve brought a friend to my house, and i’m glad that it was you. you got along with them pretty well’ he looked down at his feet.

‘it’s just my charm! but you weren’t such a fan of me when we first met’ you decided to poke at him.

‘yeah, i know, and i’m sorry. you were just so bright and optimistic and all my friends were drawn to you. i just didn’t understand why, but um, now i think i know’ he looked over at you, palms sweaty as he rubbed them against his jeans.

you gave him a small smile, scooting closer to him so your sides were against each other.

‘can i tell you something?’ you mumble, leaning your head on his shoulder, as you felt his posture stiffen.

‘yeah sure’ he replied, waiting for you to speak, nervously playing with his fingers.

‘i kinda have a crush on you’ you admitted, not looking at him. you felt his hand pull your head off his shoulder. you looked at him, with uncertainty.

he reciprocated the same look, nibbling at the side of his cheek before saying,

‘i kinda have a crush on you too. i just didn’t know how to say it’ he admitted. both of your faces lit up with immense joy. you pulled him close to you, wrapping your arms around his neck, nuzzling into his shoulder.

‘i’m so glad’ you mumble as he softly rubs your back.

you both pull away, smiling at eachother like complete dorks.

‘i can’t wait to see what happens next’ he grins as he leads you to your car,

‘same here, i’ll see you tomorrow’ you quickly press a soft peck to his cheek, watching as his blush covered his entire face.

‘oh and by the way, don’t tell johnny just yet, we can’t let his ego be bigger than his head!’ you added as renjun just shook his head and nodded,

‘you got it, get home safely’ renjun waves as you enter your car and begin to drive off.

he watches as your car completely exits his driveway, before heading back inside his house.

‘renjun! your girlfriend is so pretty! we like her alot’ his grandmother greets him as he enters the door,

‘she’s not my girlfriend just yet, nana, someday soon’ renjun responds as a warm feeling takes over his body as he rushes to his room to text his friends about the good news.

thank god you started working at the diner, otherwise renjun would have had to pretend to hate you for much longer.

the endddddd i’m sorry the ending kinda sucks 😓😓

First Consequence |HRJ|

Words: 5k

Warnings: mentions of death + not everything related to Greek mythology is accurate.

Genre: fluff to angst.

***

“When, due to certain reasons, Pandora’s box is opened, Renjun, as a guardian angel, has no option but to help everything go back to normal. However, he wasn’t expecting that “back to normal” would include helping a demon to get back to the underworld.”

Being a guardian angel at such a “young age” it’s not easy. Renjun knows a lot about it. His purpose in life is to make sure that the person/creature he has been assigned is safe until its life comes to an end, it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, he just has to do it.

Since he hasn’t lived as much as other angels, he is not as experienced to take care of a human, so meanwhile he has to do some “minor jobs”, just like the angels like to call them. They mostly consist of helping creatures with their jobs, in the best of the cases.

Renjun is not a lucky angel.

So he has to guard a demigod that is the definition of a scaredy-cat until he’s ready to “save the world”. It’s pretty obvious to both of them that he won’t make it, but you never have to lose hope, right?

That’s why he decided to trust Jeno for the last time and acoompain him in some random mission.

“Guardian I’m here.” He told the girl he was looking after.

To call her guardian was something usual between them. She was the other person he always had to guard since he offered to help her as his first job.

However, just watching a box for day after day in the inside of a cave was not the best of the plans. Eventually, he had no other option but to get used to it.

It was Pandora’s box. It could be very dangerous if it were opened.

“Hi angel.” She greeted back, smiling a little.

“Jeno has asked me for a favour, so I’ll have to help him in his last adventure before finally retiring.”

“Again?” She pouted.

“Let’s give him one last chance, he might get it right.” He defended the boy that ended up becoming his friend. “I don’t think it’ll take me more than a few months, don’t worry. I will send a person I trust with you to make you company so you won’t be lonely!” He cheered.

“Don’t even think about it!” She snapped. “This is a boring job already, I don’t want to make it tedious to anybody else. I’ll be fine by myself.”

He nodded, not very convinced. Still, he gave her space.

When he came back, he wishes he hadn’t.

“What do you mean Pandora’s box has been opened!” He shouts to his mermaid friend. “Haechan what the hell, how?“

“I don’t know! Rumour has it that she fell in love with “Asbolo’s descendant” also known as our Mark, our friend, and that they are now exiled forever.” The mermaid nicknamed Haechan explained tiredly. “Everything has been a mess ever since, nobody is safe on the surface, nor under the sea.”

Renjun massages his temples and takes a seat, immersing his feet in the water.

“I can’t believe this, I haven’t left for so long, I even had the god’s consent to do so, for the first time! And this is what I find when I come back!” He complains.

He feels shocked due to the sudden events, angry because how could they even fall in love? But also sad because he might never see them again and he couldn’t even say goodbye.

“You should talk to Hermes Renjun.” Donghyuk advises. “I’m sure you would be very appreciated as an angel.”

He’s tired after so much walking and fighting by Jeno’s side to end up giving up, but if even the biggest prankster in his group of friends is worried, he knows he has to do something.

***

"Renjun this is horrible." Hermes tells the young boy. "How are we going to fix this?"

"I'm afraid I don't know the answer, sir." Renjun answers lowering his head.

The god sighs.

"It's not your fault, boy." He pats Renjun's head friendly, in a very infrequent act. "Somebody wanted to hurt us, and they ended up doing it, I still don't know how."

"Is there anything I can do to help, sir?" Renjun asks.

"Just, try to guard small creatures that don't belong here until we figure how to get them back into the box." Hermes  massages his temples once again and looks through a small window inside of his sanctuary on the Olimpus. "Do you see that, kid?"

"That's the human world isn't it?"

'It is, they are desperate now. Illnesses, worries, disgraces, all of that is taking over them. I've never been a huge fan of humans, but we're here to save them. We have to do something." The god explains solemnly. Renjun nods sadly, it's the first time he has seen such an important person being as defeated.

"Do what you're ordered to and help us to save us, okay? Remember to warn us if you ever see a creature from the underworld.”

"I will, sir." Renjun takes a bow and uses his wings to go back to that small cave where the box was before being waken away to the Olimpus. HThat was his house.

For the following days, he does as ordered. Nothing very important things, but they have to be done.

He has walked the forest three times looking for something different than elfs and nymphs helping trees and plants to recover their vitality. Then he decides to take a seat.

"Hello friend." He turns around to see his friend Chenle.

"Hi Chenle." He tries to sound cheerful, but he's exhausted.

"You sound tired, angels have been working a lot lately, right?"

"Yes, we have a lot of work to do. All of you too I see, this is getting our of hand."

Chenle nods sleepily.

"I have to go, I was on my way to meet Jisung. I want to check up on him, he must be exhausted." Renjun finally smiles widely at the thought of their friend, the Fenix.

Renjun nods.

"Well, good luck to both of you."

"Right back at you, friend." And the elf leaves.

He then stands up, and let his body chose the direction he will take this time. By instinct, he ends up going to the small cliff beside the giant forest where he usually meets Haechan. He feels his eyes slowly closing since the only thing you can listen to is the swell, he thinks he might fall asleep at any moment. His eyes are almost closed when he sees it.

It's not the sunniest day, but he still can distinguish a black shadow walking around the almost green field. He opens his eyes wide and tries to focus on whatever that is, freezing when he figures it out.

"Mormo." He whispers.

You turned around as if you had heard the boy. With your great sense of hearing you could have. When your eyes meet the angel's you don't know if you should run away or face him. Apparently, he takes the decision before you do.

He approaches slowly, as if you were going to run away. You consider the option for a few seconds before he catches your wrist.

"What are you doing, stupid! Let go of my hand!" You exclaim. Your wrist burns due to the contrast.

Angels can't touch demons while they are what they are.

"This hurts me too! But you don't belong here and I have to take you somewhere else!" He keeps holding your wrist and you keep pushing back.

You were just trying to figure out where to go ever since you've been pulled out of your goddess side, why would he dare to bother you?

Both of you keep it going for a few seconds until the contact is insufferable, then he lets go.

"Finally! It burns a lot, thank you dude!" You shout sarcastically.

"You don't understand I do this to help you, right?"

"I don't even know what you're doing, how am I supposed to know?" You snap.

The angel sighs.

"You don't belong here, I have to take you to Hermes so he can assign you somebody to help you go back to the underworld." He explains shortly.

You laugh out loud, making fun of the boy.

"Me? With Hermes? Can't you just, I don't know, send him one of those pigeons you use here? I can't go to the Olympus, I'd rather go back by myself. I don't need no help."

"But you can't." He blunts without thinking. That cuts you as if it was a knife.

"I-I can! I'm Mormo's descendants! I know where I live!"

"You sure about that? Because I'm sure you've been here for days."

"That's not true! I can go back whenever I want!" You were, in fact, lying. He raises an eyebrow. "Fine, I've been here for days and I'm starving, but I can't eat anything from here! The only thing that kept me alive was this mermaid that would sometimes talk to me. Now I know why I don't belong here."

Renjun is about to laugh at the sudden outburst, but decides to keep quiet for his own well-being.

"I'll contact "my god" by "one of those pigeons" and tell him the situation. He will assign you someone to help you, I'm sure." He tries to calm you down.

"Can't you just do it yourself?"

"I've been at some missions in a lot of different places, but I've never been in the underworld so I'm afraid my lack of experience might damage us."

You try not to make fun of him since, even if you hate angels and every related to whatever that is not the underworld, he might help you lately, that's why you want him to "help" you -because you need no help actually-. You want to punch him in the face as much as other stupid guardian angels, but you decide to save it.

To both of your surprise, Renjun is the chosen one to bring you to your goddess side in the underworld.

“My dear Renjun,

I understand you are worried, but right now you’re the only one who can bring Mormo to the underworld. Just remember not to get in and not to involve yourself too much with infernal creatures. I officially declare you as Mormo’s guardian angel.

Hermes.” 

You scoff and feel the need to throw the paper away from anger. You don’t need anyone’s help to go back to your house! Why would you need a guardian angel knowing that you can’t even be around him?

It’s obvious that your world collide.

However, when you look at Renjun’s direction and find him shaking, with his whole face coloured in red out of anger, you keep it to yourself once again. There will be time for reproaches on your way to your home.

“Well, pretty boy, you’re stuck with me.” You say, making fun of him. “Come on, I promise I’ll be good, just like in the Olimpus.”

Renjun scoffs and begins to walk angrily to somewhere and you have no option but to follow him.

“Where do you take me? I have to follow you from now on, remember?”

“Just shut up, please, I’m trying to do my job.” He expects to finally get the respect he deserves, but you just laugh out loud. If you don’t feel like getting angry, who told you you can’t have fun at least? So, watching carefully everything he does, you follow him.

“Jisung please open the door! I need your help!” He shouts.

“Renjun! I’m a bit busy right now, can you please tell me what’s wrong?” The Fenix tells him.

“I need you to tell me how to get to the underworld.”

“What? Why would you-?”

“I’ll explain you someday, just tell me please.“

He hears Jisung’s sigh through the door and how you laugh even if you cover it with your hand.

“So you really don't know? Okay, there are a lot of ways to get there, the easiest would be to go to the river Acheron, in Greece, it's the most direct way even though it's far away from here." Jisung explains shortly.

Just what Renjun was thinking before talking to his friend. He doesn't know the exact way to the river, but he has a light idea from all the adventures he has lived with Jeno.

"Thank you friend. I promise I'll explain, okay?"

"Fine! But remember to stay safe, okay? It's a very dangerous trip and we don't have a good feeling about it."

"We?"

"N-nevermind. Just stay safe!"

He says goodbye to his friend a bit puzzled of his reaction and promises him that he will take care. Then, he proceeds to take the shortest way to the following town.

Then, the first consequence from the Pandora's box begins.

***

"When are we going to stop?" You complain for the fifth time.

"Do you really want to get to the underworld with Hecate? Then keep going."

"Ops, the angel is angry."

He feels his head about to explode. Not only he has to deal with the consequences of Pandora's box being opened because he hadn't been looking after the guardian when he had to, but also he has to stand you all the way to the underworld, a place he never thought he would visit.

"I want to ask you something." You try to make some small talk.

"Sure, ask." Renjun takes this as a way to have a more mature conversation with you.

"Are all of you always as stressed?" He was wrong, as always.

"Are all of you as careless?"

"Touche, friend."

"I'm not your friend."

"Don't worry, it's just a saying, I don't want to consider you my friend." You add, cheerfully. He rolls his eyes and decides to ignore you for the rest of the afternoon -and beyond-.

It's more than obvious that an angel and a demon can't get along.

The following day not much has changed. You looked for a place to sleep -a shelter, nothing very expensive- and then you continued your adventure. At first, it was silent and you didn’t even bother to look at him. You couldn’t care less.

“How far is the river from here?”

“Well, as you know the underworld shouldn’t be found easily, because it would be a mess for humans, so I would say we’re still far away.”

“That sounds tiring.” He sighs, agreeing with you for the first time.

“And where is the entrance?” You ask again.

“We still have a few miles to go through.” He gives you a dry answer.

“I still wonder how I ended up like this. Why did I have to leave my goddess’ side?” You look at him from the corner of your eye, but he still has nothing to add. “You know what, I’m obviously being bothersome, just tell me where to go and I’ll do it.”

“By yourself? A demon? No. I’m not letting you alone in the human’s world, which is very screwed right now, they don’t need a demon walking around.

You feel your ears getting red. It’s more than obvious that he doesn’t know who your ancestor is and what they did. You were a demon, yes, but not a bad one, and you weren’t going to be humiliated.

“If you don’t know who Mormo really was, then don’t talk to me like that. It’s obvious that you don’t want to be here, and I don’t want your company.” Slowly, without realising it, you were raising your voice.

“All I know is that I’m stuck with you when I could help more angels and my friends, and I still don’t know why I have to be your guardian. I’m an angel and you’re a demon! It’s completely contradictory!”

“It is! But it’s not my fault!”

“It isn’t mine either!”

“Then don’t pay it back with me!”

You can feel smoke getting out of your ears, as if you were a train. Who does he think he is? You keep walking forward, but at a faster rate so you could lose him. Until you see a crossroad, and don’t know where to go. You turn back, but the angel is nowhere to be seen, you may have walked faster than what you really wanted. But then, when you turn back to the front, he is right in front of you, looking at you with a raised eyebrow.

“Turn to the right, we’ll take that road, it’s shorter.” And he passes right through you.

He knows that he has part of the blame of the situation both of you are in, but he is not willing to admit it and apologise. All he wants to do is get to the river as soon as possible and then forget all of this happen once the box is finally closed and everyone is back to the place they belong. 

You, on the other hand, don’t want to trust the boy in front of you, but you know that you have no option. How are you going to get back if you don’t know where you are? It would take you ages, you know that. So, in a certain way, you’re glad he hasn’t left you completely on your own, even if you can’t stand him.

“We’re approaching the next village, we can take a break there and ask for a shortcut. The entrance we want to take is only two towns after this one, but they are very separated one from the other, so we still have a long way to go.” He explains after what feels like hours without talking.

“The portal isn’t far from the river Archeron. We won’t have to walk as much. We could take a bus or something, but you, unlike me, can’t hide your appearance, so we’ll just walk at night.”

“You seem to go a lot on adventures.”

He shakes his head and sighs.

“I only go out because of Jeno, if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t know half of the human’s world.” You smile a little when his face lights up as he mentions Jeno. He may seem like he’s reproaching him, but, in fact, he doesn’t mean it.

You nod, not knowing what to say. Then, both of you become silent and don’t think you have something to add to keep the conversation going. The mood, that was once a little angry, has become awkward.

Your destination is a little further than what you expected, so when you finally stopped to rest on a little bench on the street, you were beyond thankful. It was funny how you had never realised, but now that you look closely, you see how every creature that passed in front of you, would look at you as if you were crazy. A little group of nymphs are looking at you and sharing their opinions to each other, whispering. As if you couldn’t hear.

“Any problem, ladies?” You put your most terrific expression and they run in fear.

“What’s wrong with you?” Renjun asks, angry -once again-. “I’m sorry!” He shouts to them. But they’re too far to listen to him.

“They were talking about my appearance.” You say, expressionless. “I couldn’t care less, but it’s not something nice to do, right in front of me, as if being different was a crime.”

Renjun is speechless.

“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t rea-lise.“ It’s the first time he feels as bad. He’s judged you way too soon. You just laugh ironically and shrug.

“No problem, It’s not like I’m used to, but I’m just teaching valuable lessons.” He feels surprised. He would have never imagined you saying those words.

“I’m sorry about earlier too. Both of us are affected by Pandora’s box, I shouldn’t have behaved like that.”

“Did I hear correctly?” You pretend to be shocked and he rolls his eyes. “Well, an angel apologizing first, I guess it was going to be obvious.”

“What do you-”

“I’m sorry too, I may be a demon, Mormoitself wasn’t the nicest one, but they weren’t mean and neither am I, y/n. Actually, I really like children, I don’t even eat the bad ones, I just scare the shit out of them so they won’t misbehave anytime soon.“ You explain. “I guess I just let myself go and lost my essence, so I have to apologize for that too.”

He is, once again, astonished. It’s the first time you say your name.

“Well, let’s get along from now on and get to know each other better, okay?’“

“Deal.” You answer, even if the boy doesn’t seem as a creature you would befriend.

***

As time goes by you know you’re getting closer to the underworld and you find yourself being more and more cheerful. It’s not as if you were always as happy, you were usually more on the sarcastic side, but these last few days have been a mess and now that they are coming to an end you just feel happy.

Your relationship with Renjun has improved a little since you talked that night a week ago and it feels good to get to know him and what he does, taking into consideration that you had never expected to get involved with an angel in any of the cases. He turned out to be funnier and cuter that what you expected, and it was even scary to think that about him.

“Finally! We’re here!”

“The portal?” You ask-shout in excitement.

“Yes, it’s here! Now we will have to walk for a few more days and we’ll arive.“

“Will you get in the boat with Charon with me?”

“Are you asking me if I want to die?”

“You won’t die if you’re with me!” 

“I know, but I’ve heard that that dude is creepy. Besides, angels can’t go into the underworld or else we’ll die, remember?” You laugh.

“You all are weak.” He gives you a friendly blow that ends up hurting both of you.

The human’s world turns out to be different that you expected. Maybe it’s because it’s at night and there’s nobody to be seen. You decide not to get any public transport, because you might scare a lot of people, and only continue walking at night.

Still, to be watched is only a matter of time.

“Who are you?” That small voice surprises both of you and your faces drop. A little boy is looking at you as if you were normal there.

“Leave this to me.” You whisper Renjun. “What are you doing here little one?”

The kid shrugs.

“I lost my parents today and I can’t find them.“

“Have you been a bad boy?” You expression begins to change and Renjun is about to jump in front of the kid to protect him

“No, I didn’t want to leave their side.” The kid pout and you get on your knees to talk to him.

While you’re trying it, Renjun just stares closely at you. You are not a bad creature, how could you be it when you’re helping a kid you know nothing about to get back to his house. It feels bad now that he thinks about how he has misjudged you, just like a lot of people out of the underworld have. His heart beats faster and his cheeks get red.

You hear it thanks to your great sense of hearing and look at him for a second. When your eyes meet his and you both smile at the same time, you know everything is about to get harder.

You make the kid fall asleep and take him to a bench.

“That’s the best I can do for him. Luckily a nice human will find him and bring him to his house.” You say, and you and Renjun go on with your adventure.

***

It’s even more awkward now that Renjun’s mind only thinks of you and that you listen to his heart beating faster. The days pass slowly and night are boring because you don’t know what to talk about.

“Are you worried about something?” You ask him one of those times.

“Not much, why?”

“Oh nothing, I just listen to your heart beating faster sometimes and I get scared.”

“Y-you can listen to it?”

“Only when it beats fast. I have it for when I hunt.”

“O-oh, okay.” You laugh at him and he sight defeated.

“You know what? I’ll miss you when I’m back in the underworld.”

Renjun thinks about what will happen once you follow your own ways and sadness hits him.

“I’ll miss you too, you are the only friend I can go to.” You want to tease him about the friend part, but since he seems so sad, you don’t do it

“What’s wrong with the rest of your friends?”

“They are either busy fixing what happened with Pandora’s box, just like me, nowhere to be seen, like Jeno, or exiled, like my guardian and Mark.”

“You’re friends with Pandora’s box guardian?” You ask, amused.

“Yes, I was her guardian angel and she was my best friend.” He explains shortly. The way he called her “my guardian” makes you think that they were much closer, and that annoys you for some reason.

“I hope she’s doing fine and that you can reunite with her anytime soon.” You say, even if you don’t mean it.

“She’s with her boyfriend -our friend-. I’m sure she is.” The angel smiles sweetly at the thought of both of his friends dating just by chance.

You let go all the air you were holding in when he said she already was dating someone. Suddenly, the thought of dating Renjun popped into your mind. Why were you thinking about that if it was completely impossible to date him and you feel nothing for him?

It’s the first time you’ve felt fear.

Maybe because he’s way much different that you’re used to?

You shake your head, what are you even thinking?

“Are you okay? You need a break?” He asks, worried out of nowhere. You decide to take a seat and wait for some fresh air to clear your head.

“I think I haven’t slept well today.”

However, the more you deny it, the more it doesn’t leave your mind. Night after night whenever you make some small talk, you surprise yourself thinking how well you complete eachother and how much you have in common.

It’s more that obvious that you love him, even if it’s just a little, but you’re way too busy denying it.

Renjun, on the other side, has accepted it at this point. And he can’t hide it since he’s not very good at concealing his feelings.

So, with a permanent blush on your cheeks, you make your last night walking to the river, which, unluckily to both of you, is closer than what you had expected it to be. 

***

When you’re right in front of it, he hugs you, tightly. You hug him back. It is easy to fall in love in the god’s world, it only took you a bit longer that a month to do so. But it’s forbidden.

It burns. Your arms, your chest, everything that is in contact with his skin burns, but you had to do it. This feels even more intimate and truth than a kiss.

“I’ll never forget you.” You hear his sweet angel voice in your ear. “Just so you know, I love you.”

“Don’t forget me, Renjun, I won’t forgive you if you do.“ When you break the hug because you have to go, you don’t even feel your arms, they’re literally burnt because of the contradiction you and Renjun are. It leaves you soulless, as if you could stand more pain only because now you don’t feel nothing at all.

But what hurts the most is that you never said it back, because of your insecurity.

“Y/n.” You hear Hecate, your goddess, shouting your name.

“Yes, my goddess.”

“You’re finally back, my loyalest demon, my Mormo, has it been hard?” She wanted to give you a tight hug, but she doesn’t when she sees your arms are burning.

“Hermes told me about the angel, did he do something?” She asks, furious.

“I feelll for him.” You whisper as an answer. “I love him.”

Hecate seems scandalized.

“What do you mean you love him?” She seems very angry, and it’s not nice to have the goddess of the underworld against you. “Did you betray me?”

You promised to stay by her side forever. Your forever has come to an end.

“I did, miss. I fell in love with someone I shouldn’t have.” The goddess doesn’t think about it about it twice.

She raises her arm.

And then you feel nothing.

You’ve just become dust.

By the time Renjun arrived to the Olimpus, he had heard what happened to you. He was beyond devasted. His loved one was no longer here, nor there, nor anywhere. It was the first time he felt like crying. His best friend, the responsible for the mess that was happening in the world has been exiled, he couldn’t even say goodbye to her. His other friend Mark was with her, and they weren’t going to come back. Jeno, his most beloved friend, apparently had given up, only the gods know where he is now.

All he had left was the hope to see you sometime again.

But you weren’t there.

He didn’t feel Hermes curing his burns, he wasn’t Renjun anymore.

“I’ve betrayed you.” He then confessed.

“I know.” The god said.

“I don’t deserve my wings.”

“I know.” The god said once again. He then proceeded to take them off, being the saddest he had ever been.

One of his best angels, the one that would become the forever known guardian angel, has been killed on the inside due to the cruelness of Pandora’s box, the cause of all of this.

Renjun smiled, looking at the person who had been his teacher. He might not have been the best around the gods, but he did know how to take care of his students. Hermes smiled back, knowing what Renjun was thinking.

And with a last “thank you, shine brightly from now on” he said goodbye to  Renjun, who became a constellation in the sky. The one that will always be remembered due to the tragic love story behind it.

Because that’s what happens when the angel’s world and the demon’s world collide.

hi jaem! my used to be boyfriend, and now my future husband (uwu i’m shy saying this icb),

it’s been a long journey even just in the span of six months being with you. i just want to say that i am beyond grateful for having you in my life. i cherish every single moment we share. i appreciate all the things you do to make me feel i am important even if in the form of smallest things as possible. i am sorry for all the times you feel i neglected you. i really swear to god, you were always a priority to me, and that you were never out of my mind 24/7.

work has been tough but what’s keeping me alive is salary (lmao) and of course, the thought of hanging out with you on weekends.

as i said earlier on the previous post, i’m scared at marriage because it is the point where couples give up and decided to split. nevertheless, i do believe in us, that no matter misunderstandings will come, we will always find back in each other’s arms and reconcile

i really didn’t expect you’ll be proposing so soon, but you were right. there’s no term as ‘soon’ when you really madly in love with someone. so nana, i’m looking forward to our honeymoon (already?? okno) wedding (uwu i’m shy wtf).

aishiloveyou always and counting 💗💛💗💛
