Spicey

pairing: AFAB Reader x Non-Idol! BSK genre: fluff warning(s): cursing word count: 2.1K recommended song: Spicy by aespa, HOT by SEVENTEEN

You had been friends with the Maestros since freshman year, when you had started university in New York. Among all the Vocal Music majors, the Maestros were the best and have been a band since freshman year (yeah, they're that good!). Joshua Hong and Yoon Jeonghan were Seniors now. You were Korean American just like Joshua and had instantly clicked with him. Which is how you came to be a part of their friend-group, as well as band member, during your sophomore year. The leader of the band was Lee Jihoon, whose stage name was Woozi. He had cherry-picked the people for his band, so he was obviously skeptical when the others wanted you to join the band. But after an intense audition, you had finally made it! Lee Seokmin (whose stage name was Dokyeom), Boo Seungkwan and you, were kinda inseparable since the start of university. Even though Dokyeom was a sophomore when you and Seungkwan started as freshmen, his lively personality pulled you both towards him.

One fine day, you were practicing peacefully with your friends/bandmates when some of your classmates burst through the door. "Y'all know Wen Junhui from the Performing Arts major, right? Y'all know how he's the person with the highest spice tolerance in all of New York, right?" said Ian who was panting and red in the face. "Yeah, and what about it?" questioned Woozi, clearly annoyed that the practice session was interrupted. "What about it is that there's a Spicey Food Eating Challenge going on at the Asian restaurant nearby and we want y'all spicey food freaks to avenge the Vocal Music department from our previous horrendous defeat against Wen Junhui!" screeched Daniel, who too was red as a tomato and had tears streaming down his face.

"We're the spicey food freaks, now? Since when?", you wondered out loud and Dokyeom supplied sullenly, "Since we dared to compete with The Wen Junhui and lost horribly during the Malatang eating contest". "Did y'all just come back from the competition?" Seungkwan asked curiously. "Dude, DO YOU EVEN HAVE EYES?" yelled Ian. "Okay okay Ian, sorry, just chill", Joshua says and placates poor Ian. "We'll chill when you defeat Wen Junhui. Otherwise, don't bother performing at the year-end concert because there won't be any audience!!!" your classmates yell out and leave you with a huge challenge.

"So, where's Junhui? When do we go to the competition?", asks Jeonghan, the oldest, while carefully judging Woozi's expressions. "We saw Junhui head towards the Performance Arts wing", said Terry, another one of your classmates, who had just come running to join Ian and Daniel. "Okay cool, we'll meet Junhui, challenge him and go with him to the restaurant. Cool?" asks Woozi, surprisingly rising to the occasion. "O...kay...?", the rest of you say unsurely. Your classmates leave after glaring at you as if to say, 'Don't you dare do anything but win'!

You and your bandmates find Wen Junhui chilling in his department building's cafeteria. Your plan on making him rise to the challenge rested on him being alone and thankfully, the cafeteria was empty at the moment, sans Wen Junhui. All of you approach him as non-threateningly as possible (read: timidly), and he looks up from his laptop as you reach near his table. "And what are the sore losers doing here?", Wen Junhui asks with a smirk. "We actually wanted to talk to you about another spicey food eating contest...", begins Woozi unenthusiastically. "Really?", deadpans Junhui. "Yes, really. We're in a bit of a fix, you see. Our department threatened the 6 of us to challenge you, by keeping the year-end performance on the line!", Seungkwan says and almost whines. "So?", asks Junhui, ever the cocky winner. "So...we uh...we were hoping you could intentionally lose?", Jeonghan asks unsurely.

"BHWAHAHAHAHAHA", Junhui laughed maniacally. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Why would I lose and give up on my winning streak for you losers?", Wen Junhui asks incredulously. "Because you love our songs! You love Fallin' Flower a lot, don't you?", asks Dokyeom while mustering his best puppy-eyed look. "And you also LOVE Our Dawn is Hotter Than Day to pieces! I know it because your Spotify Wrapped showed that it was your #1 song this year!", Joshua supplies with conviction. "I can live without hearing those songs live, you know?", replies Junhui, but his resolve seemed to be cracking, which didn't go unnoticed by you. "So, please Junhui! Please, concede for us and we'll give you the copyrights to whatever songs you want to use in your dances", you plead. "Copyrights, huh? Hm... that's something I can get behind. Okay fine! You need me to lose? I will. But only when 1 or 2 of you are remaining. Cuz it will definitely look intentional if I lost against all of you, lol", says Junhui cheerfully.

"OK, let the food be brought to the tables!" yells the judge and steaming bowls of Japanese ramen with a large side of wasabi are placed in front of the 7 of you. Unbeknownst to the 6 of you, all the colour drains from Junhui's face. "Fuck!", he whisper-yells and turns to Minghao. "I think this is the time you lose, my friend" Minghao consoles him forlornly. "But what if they can't eat Wasabi too?" Junhui asks him hopefully. "Okay, 2 things. They're Korean and Korean people eat a LOT of Japanese food so I'm pretty sure they can handle wasabi. AND I've seen 2 of them ask for extra wasabi at this very restaurant one time, so..." Minghao trails off. "You could've led with the second thing, bitch!", screeches Junhui while Minghao throws his head back in laughter.

"Oh my God! Thank you, Junhui! We'll literally dedicate our entire concert to you!" you and your bandmates squeal with joy. All of you shortly reach the restaurant and to your shock, your classmates are waiting for you there! "So, I guess you guys love your performances after all, huh?" asks Ian cockily. "Shut up, Ian" Woozi snarls and beelines towards 1 of 6 empty chairs set up for the competition. "Why are there exactly 6 chairs? Did you jackasses customize this round of the competition?" Jeonghan asks Daniel with narrowed eyes. "And if we did?" says Daniel and takes off running before Jeonghan could catch him for that display of cheekiness.

"God! I wanna kill them" Seungkwan whines angrily. "It's okay Kwan, let's just get through this", Joshua says with gritted teeth. "Guys, calm down" you begin to say and then whisper "Junhui is literally on our side! We got this!" you say with a wink. "Yeah, y/n's right. Let's just go sit", Dokyeom supplies and all of you fall into the chairs beside Woozi. Junhui sits right across from the 6 of you. The judge of the competition comes in between both your tables and announces, "You will begin eating when I say and the last remaining person/group to keep eating wins. Ready?" All of you look at each other unsurely and offer silent cheers and when you turn to look at Junhui, he's already looking at y'all with his classic smirk. "Good luck, losers!" Junhui goads you. "Hush, Junhui. Enough with the teasing", Junhui's friend Minghao gently chides him. "When did you get here Hao?" Junhui questions, surprised to see his friend beside him. "When I saw you resolutely walk with the Vocal Music majors towards the restaurant. That's when", Minghao says and laughs.

The 6 of you are indeed relieved seeing that it wasn't some Chinese spice, but your dear old wasabi. "It's just wasabi! We can do this, guys!" Dokyeom chirps, ever the mood-maker. "Yes! Let's go!", you and Seungkwan say in unison. "And let us begin!", screams the announcer suddenly and it's a clamour as 7 set of chopsticks are hurriedly picked up and clash with the bowls of ramen and wasabi. It was going really well on your side of the table, all 6 of you having gone through 3 servings. Junhui was just finishing off his 2nd serving and looked worse for wear. "Junhui, I think you should call it a day..." begins Minghao but Junhui interrupts him, "NO! Let at least 3 of them give up before I do...cuz even if I lose, I need to have some dignity". No sooner had he finished saying this, Jeonghan & Joshua got up from the table and darted towards the judge's area where banana milk tetra packs were placed for the competitors to soothe their burning mouths.

Soon, and thankfully for Junhui, Woozi and Dokyeom also gave up. Dokyeom was low-key crying as he chugged his banana milk unlike Woozi, who was plainly annoyed. But you and Seungkwan don't notice any of this because at some point, you had started competing with each other, forgetting Junhui and the bet! Now, there are 2 things that only the Maestros know about Kwan and you: 1, they can't handle spicey food that well and 2, they can't stand losing to anyone, especially to each other. They also know that you both will regret this later as you stay away from anything even remotely spicey for a month after this, as was evidenced by the Malatang contest.

Junhui realises that you both have completely forgotten about the competition and after slowly placing his chopsticks down, bolts for the banana milk, grabs it, runs back and grabs Minghao, and rushes off towards your university campus. You sense someone running and Seungkwan must have too, because you both look up at the same time and see that Wen Junhui's chair was now empty! You both slowly turn to look at each other, like in a slow-motion shot from a movie, and once your eyes lock, you too, pull a Wen Junhui and dash off towards the campus with your precious banana milk packs. Your classmates rejoice and get the plaque addressed to "The Maestros", winners of the Wasabi Eating Contest, to bring it to y'all later.

Both of you start screaming and tearing your banana milk tetra packs open as soon as you reach the bleachers. You take a gulp, scream out, take a gulp again, until you both had finished the banana milk. Both of you are heaving with all the breathlessness that came as a result of trying to will the spiciness out of your mouths. "Why would you keep going when you can't handle spicey food all that well?", Seungkwan asks you mid-heave. "Well, I can't be seen losing to my best friend! But you're one to talk. You can't handle spicey food well either right!?", you accuse him back. "Ah that...I wanted to at least pretend to beat Junhui. I didn't know he had already lost, lol. But also, I wanted to look cool for you, I guess" Seungkwan trails off, mumbling.

"For me? Awww! Kwannie! Don't tell me you like me or something..." you tease him playfully. "I do, actually", Seungkwan answers seriously. "It's because I like you that I asked Shua hyung if we could make you a part of our friend group. You already being friends with Shua hyung was sheer dumb luck! It's because I like you that I always go to vocal training with you. It's because I like you that I agreed to this stupid bet, and to that Malatandg bet, despite my, well, our spice tolerances being low. It's because I like you that I kept going even when I couldn't...feel free to stop me", Seungkwan ends his monologue bashfully.

"Oh my God Kwan! All this time I thought my crush on you was one-sided...I should've believed Kyeom when he said he was pretty sure you liked me too!", you answer him with tears in your eyes. "Why didn't you tell me you liked me, oh my God!", Seungkwan asks with tears in his eyes too. You both hug each other and stay in the embrace for a while, until both your phones go off with notifications at the same time. "I think we need to get to practice", Kwan says, not yet pulling back from the hug. "I think we do," you say sadly as you pull away and start walking back to the practice room, your hand in his.

"Why do you both have tears in your eyes?", asks a worried Joshua. You and Kwan exchange glances, not knowing what to say. Then you both look to Dokyeom for help, with eyes that say, 'We did it! We confessed to each other, now help!' Dokyeom takes one look at you and your interlocked hands and answers with a smirk plastered on his face, "Ah that! Hyung...looks like they both forgot they can't handle spicey food all too well, in the heat of the competition" "Yeah! That's why our eyes are watering", both you and Kwan scramble to confirm Kyeom's statement. But to no one's surprise, Jeonghan, ever the evil little gremlin, says into the mic with a wink, "But they discovered they could handle a whole other type of spicey".

shirt(less) | lee jihoon

SYNOPSIS. in which jihoon should really learn to wear a shirt whenever someone is at his place... unless you don't want him to. PAIRING. lee jihoon x gn!reader GENRE. fluff, established relationship WARNINGS. shirtless jihoon (yes, this is the MAIN warning), just reader (you guys 🫵 checking him out), a lil lil suggestive, kissing, terms of endearment, mild cursing WORD COUNT. 1.3k

notes: just a silly thought i had thanks to nana tour blessing us with shirtless clips 😚

Jihoon really isn't used to people sleeping over at his place.

It's not like he doesn't want for people to sleep over (some of his members have involuntarily slept over many, many times at some point), he's fine with people sleeping over as long as he has his own little space to decompress. His place is his safe haven, his personal castle, his own little pocket of Jihoon-ness where he could exist without the need to put on a show. Here, he could simply be Lee Jihoon.

That is, until his life started to intertwine with you.

It was a simple invitation𑁋you decided to stop by with dinner and ended up staying longer than usual, and Jihoon had offered for you to stay the night. He remembers seeing the hesitant look to your face at first, but then you agreed with a warm smile. And despite some of the nerves and shaking off the anxious thoughts realising he had just offered you to stay at his place for the first time in your early relationship, Jihoon found comfort in the fact that it was you. And that's okay.

However, he probably should've been more mindful with you staying here. When he's alone and doesn't have anyone staying over (which again, he isn't exactly used to), he's used to settling down for the night at his own pace, with his own routine, so he probably should've told you beforehand that he... doesn't sleep with a shirt on most of the time.

And no, he didn't forget that you were sleeping over; it's just that the thought simply slipped his mind and hit him the moment he had opened the door to his bedroom.

"Hoonie, do you think tomorrow we can𑁋oh my god!"

The loud shriek makes Jihoon shoot his eyes to where you stood next to his bed, noticing the blush that had quickly spread across your face as your eyes widen in surprise. He lifts a brow, before looking down at himself, and he feels the embarrassment heat up at the tips of his ears.

Oh, he's shirtless.

You find yourself standing frozen like a deer caught in headlights, mind going blank, unable to tear your eyes away from your boyfriend's chest in full display in front of you. Your cheeks are definitely burning hotter than the kimchi stew you shared for dinner earlier.

Jihoon's heart stutters in his chest. He feels a blush of his own creeping up his neck, mirroring the one painting your cheeks like a delicate rose. Shit, he wants to melt into the floorboards, disappear into the fabric of his nonexistent shirt. But instead, he stands there, frozen in the awkward form of his bedroom doorway.

"I, uh..." he stammers, voice barely above a whisper. "I usually don't sleep with a shirt on."

He knows it sounds lame, like something a teenager caught in his underwear might say. But it's the truth, the only defense he has against the heat rising in his cheeks and the sudden, unwelcome flutter in his stomach.

Your eyes might as well bulge out of your skull at this point, darting between his bare torso𑁋taking in the clean lines of his abs and the gentle curve of his shoulder blades𑁋and the open door behind him, contemplating a quick escape route that wouldn't involve jumping out of the window. A nervous laugh escapes your lips, before you snap your gaze away.

You have seen Jihoon on stage, in music videos, in photoshoots𑁋you know he has a good build, sure. But seeing him shirtless in his own private space, bathed in the soft glow of the bedside lamp, it all felt impossibly intimate. And you can't help but ogle.

"I... I didn't know," You finally let out nervously, eyes flitting back to his chest for a fleeting moment before darting away again.

His eyes meet yours, and you see a flicker of vulnerability in them. He's nervous too, You realise.

"Sorry," he mumbles in slight embarrassment. "I should've warned you."

Warned you? You almost want to laugh at that. How could anyone warn you for the sight of your boyfriend, shirtless and disheveled, standing in his bedroom doorway?

"It's okay," You assure, gathering your wits. "It's just... unexpected."

Then Jihoon lets out a chuckle. "You're acting as if you haven't seen me shirtless before. I send you gym pictu𑁋"

"Okay, b-but this is in person, so it's different!" You exclaim quickly, cutting his words off.

"So do... you want me to put on a shirt? If it makes you uncomfortable𑁋"

"No! It-it's fine, really. I mean, it's your place, and you're comfortable, right?" You interject, your words a bit too rushed. "I'll just... get used to it. It's okay. Besides, you... look really good."

Jihoon's cheeks flush even deeper. He sees the way your eyes keep flicking back to his torso, then quickly looking away, and it makes his heart race in a different way this time. It's not the nervous thump of embarrassment anymore, but something else. He steps closer to you, and you nearly stub your toe on the footboard of his bed.

“You think so?" he questions, a pinch of tease to his words.

You nod, heart still throbbing in your chest. "Yeah, I-I mean I know you work hard at the gym and that you're always practicing so I𑁋"

Jihoon cuts you off with his lips melting onto yours. It's a kiss that tastes like surprise, like nervous laughter held back, like the sweet, lingering warmth of the kimchi stew from earlier. Your hands find their way to his arms, tentatively tracing the line of his biceps, before wrapping around him and pulling him closer, your palms meeting the smooth contours of his back. The warmth of his skin against yours sends shivers down your spine, and you feel yourself melt into him, the awkwardness of the situation forgotten.

When he pulls away, his eyes are soft and locked on yours, searching for your reaction. A playful smile dances on his lips, and you can't help but return it with a breathless giggle of your own, before a yawn leaves you. You stifle it with the back of your hand, feeling your eyelids getting heavy despite the surge of electricity that coursed through you just moments ago.

"Tired?" Jihoon asks you.

"Yeah, a bit." You sit down on his bed, toying at his soft sheets with your fingers. "Lay down with me?"

The smile on his face widens just slightly, and that's enough of an answer that you need. You crawl into the bed, slipping under the covers as he climbs in beside you, pulling the covers over both of you. The bed smells like him, a comforting mix of laundry detergent and his natural scent, and you snuggle closer into his pillow, letting your exhaustion melt away.

You feel Jihoon shift right behind you, hearing a yawn of his own leave his mouth. You flip yourself around to face him, your eyes meeting his sleepy ones in the soft moonlight filtering through the window.

"Is it okay if... if we cuddle?" You whisper, a hint of shyness in your voice.

A curve of Jihoon's lips bloom like a flower opening to the morning sun.

"More than okay," he replies softly.

Then he wraps his strong arms around you, pulling you close, his bare chest warm against yours. It's more intimate than you ever imagined your first sleepover at his place would be, yet it feels incredibly right. You let out a contented sigh as you adjust yourself in his hold, your head resting on his chest and your legs intertwined together under the sheets.

"Comfortable?" he murmurs, voice a low rumble in the quiet room.

"Mhm," You hum in response, nuzzling closer to him.

Some silence passes, and you take the time to listen to Jihoon's heartbeat against your ears, with a finger lightly tracing the outline of his shoulder, his skin smooth and warm under your fingertips. His breath quietly hitches from your touch.

"Mmh, babe?" You call out to him. "Can I tell you something?"

Jihoon's eyes flutter open. "Hmm?"

A tiny smirk crosses over your face, and you move yourself up in his hold to be able to whisper in his ear, your breath tickling against his skin.

"You're so pretty."

― FIRST SNOW

there is a superstition that if you witness the first snowfall with the person you like, true love will blossom between both and it will be long-lasting.

𝜗𝜚 THEME: fluff, cuddly and in love love gyu 𝜗𝜚 PAIRING: idol!mingyu x fem!reader 𝜗𝜚 WORD COUNT: 518

💌 natalia’s note: ik it may be a bit early for winter fics but recently we had first snow in poland and i just had this urge to write something about it [edit: and now korea also had its first snow so yippie]

“look!” 

you hummed and nodded weakly, though instead of opening your eyes you snuggled further into mingyu's warm chest, basking in the softness of his sweater and the steady beat of his heart underneath your ear. 

days off were the best. 

“baby,” your boyfriend murmured excitedly against your temple and ran his cold finger along your cheek. “it’s snowing!” 

with mingyu’s arm holding your waist in a tight grip; not that you complained, the afternoon teddy bear cuddles, especially in the colder weather were the best, it was a bit difficult for you to actually move to see the supposed snow. 

“it’s so pretty,” he said in awe, as if it was his first time seeing it. “look, look!” he said and pointed at the window that was behind you.

“gyu?” you mumbled and propped yourself on his chest as much as you could. “i’d really love to see it, but you’re holding me hostage and my neck is too sore to turn it all the way around”. 

mingyu’s eyes widened, and a small pout appeared on his face. “oh shit, right. sorry.”

you cupped his chin and placed a kiss at the tip of his nose. "'s okay," you said, before sitting all the way up and turning around towards the window.

and your boyfriend was right. even though your view of the city below was very blurry due to mingyu's apartment being on a high floor, you could still imagine how pretty the streets must look now, covered in the white fluff. 

“i can’t wait to beat your ass in a snowball fight,” you said and turned back to your boyfriend. 

you weren’t sure if it was due to the bad lightning, since mingyu insisted on turning all the lights off and lightning some candles, but you could’ve sworn he was blushing, but before you could ask him about that he took a hold of your hand and pulled you back to his chest. 

“you know what the first snow means, right?” he asked after a beat of silence. 

nodding, you couldn’t help the smile that bloomed on your face. 

“we’ve been together for five years, gyu. i don’t think that superstition counts for us anymore.” 

he hummed and nuzzled his cheek against the top of your head. “maybe,” he said. “but i like to believe that every first snowfall we witness in this life will allow us to meet our next ones,” you felt his hand brush the hair from your neck in a gentle manner, “and i hope to witness as many of them as we can.” 

not really knowing what to say, because who the hell says things like that, you lifted your head from the crook of mingyu’s neck and looked at his ruffled dark hair and shiny brown eyes that were looking at you with more love than it should be legal. 

“you’re impossible, kim mingyu,” you shook your head with a laugh. 

all you got in response was an irresistibly devastating grin, before he leaned in and sealed your lips in a kiss that could melt any amount of snow.

how seventeen react to their s/o's grandma hobbies

requested by anon!

masterlist

seungcheol

my man goes bird watching with you. does he get a little embarrassed when you deck out in full bird-watching gear and peer through your binoculars at the trees while making fascinated noises? yeah, but he also finds it rather endearing. knows nothing about birds, and doesn't even try learning bc he knows he'll be hopeless at it anyway, so he's sitting next to you for hours with no clue what's going on. but at the end of it, you're packing up with a bright beam on your face, delighted that cheol came with you, and honestly it makes it all so, so worth it

jeonghan

see, here's the thing. he's not allowed to tease you for your countless puzzles, and you're not allowed to tease him for his countless lego sets. it's a mutual agreement. sometimes, you'll have days where you both sit down with your respective crafts, poring over them individually, sometimes with music on, often in silence. and then jeonghan will bring up some interesting thing he heard the other day, and the both of you will start gossiping like old ladies (or teenage girls?) the entire time, and honestly, those times are the highlights of your day

joshua

he's banned from using your yarn or your knitting needles for anything ever, because one time he somehow stabbed your couch cushions and shredded them to bits. (you're still now sure how that happened. he won't tell you.) but sometimes, he'll see you knitting in bed and smile, before slipping off somewhere and returning with his guitar, and those are the softest nights that remain ingrained in your memory, where you knit stupidly tiny socks for joshua and he serenades you with 'sunday morning' on loop

junhui

honestly, he's just utterly fascinated. several of your cross-stitching projects are stored in the fancy glass cabinet in your living room, and sometimes you'll catch him staring at them when he thinks you're in your room, wide-eyed in wonder. he saw you making all of these pieces, saw you make every single one of those stitches, but he's still so amazed at how beautiful the end product is. you gifted him an intricate piece of a moon and flowers for his birthday, and he still calls it the most precious thing he owns

hoshi

this man takes your collection of tiny european spoons very seriously. seungkwan teases him, saying that you've turned him into a grandma too, but he ignores the younger guy because your spoons are important to you, so they're important to him too. polishes them for you when you're away. asks for updates on your spoons while he's away on tour. helps name each and every spoon, and when he comes back from going abroad, he greets you with a grin and a kiss and a new spoon for your collection

wonwoo

??? he's so confused bc your gardening hobby does Not sound very grandma-ish to him, no matter what you say. you were initially rather awkward, very shy when telling him that you really loved gardening, but he supports u and thinks that it's such a nice hobby. wonwoo has very un-green fingers, so he always watches you tend to your garden from a good few feet away, but he can't help but smile at how earnestly you work, beaming so brightly the entire time and it's so obvious how much you love gardening

woozi

he never sees you do sudokus unless you're sitting on the couch in his studio, biting your nail and waiting for him to finish up so you can go home together. he just thinks it's really sweet, actually, and the idea of you doing the sudoku while he's agonising over his latest composition is something that he can't think of for too long because then he gets distracted by how adorable he thinks that is. you've fallen asleep over your sudoku too many times to count, and when you wake up, woozi feigns innocence to how your latest grid has suddenly magically filled itself

minghao

drinking tea isn't a fucking grandma hobby, kwon soonyoung, it's called being educated. both of you like drinking tea, going through tea ceremonies when you're both exhausted, taste testing different types of tea and commenting on the different notes and fragrances you can taste from them. he met you while on a tea tour around asia, and since then, the two of you just clicked so well, and he loves sipping sakura tea in the evenings and reminiscing on your first meeting, all those years ago

mingyu

fucking!! loves!! everything you knit for him!! the socks you knitted for him are his fluffiest sleeping socks. he Only wears the scarf you knitted for him during the winter months. one time, you gifted him a knitted sweater for his birthday and it instantly became his statement piece that he wore everywhere until it finally grew too threadbare and you had to make him a new one. the gentle clacking of your knitting needles on a saturday evening is the most relaxing sound in the world, and he's fallen asleep on your shoulder while you knit countless times

dokyeom

he has, admittedly, fallen asleep more than a handful of times while sitting next to you on the sofa as you indulge in your guilty pleasure: tv shows on antiques. he understands that it's something you find very fascinating and very interesting, but ten minutes in his eyes are getting droopy but nonono baby he's not falling asleep! he's just gonna… rest… his eyes… but then he eventually ends up dozing on your shoulder. he likes listening to you talk about your favourite episodes, though, the fondness colouring his lips as you gesture animatedly, eyes bright

seungkwan

the highlight of his sunday morning is sitting at the table with two cups of coffee ready, twiddling his thumbs and staring out of the window, waiting for you to burst in through the front door, coming back from your daily walk with the newspaper in your hands and slamming the crossword down in front of him. he loves poring over them with you, and sure, maybe he teases you about this very grandma-like hobby, but you tease him back because he's literally here doing them with you, isn't he? 

vernon

supports you in your dream to own all of the most grandma-style cardigans in the entire world. that's it. he has no other opinion. he's pretty chill with it, and don't listen to what minghao says,babe, 'cause he personally thinks that the purple and orange zigzag cardigan with aquamarine dots is the most stylish cardigan of your entire collection. sometimes unironically steals your cardigans to wear himself, because they're all so soft and so comfy and they smell like you so when he's at work, he can feel like you're there with him too <3

chan

you swear, your tomato plants love your boyfriend more than they love you, their actual owner. ever since you admitted to your boyfriend that you have a part of an allotment where you grow various fruits and veg, he's come to visit your babies and honestly, you've never seen your tomatoes flourishing as much as they are right now. does he think you're like an elderly person for tending so solemnly to some plants? yeah. but he can't exactly talk, because he loves your plants, and you two literally have skits where you pretend to be an elderly couple literally every day, so it's nothing out of the ordinary at all

how seventeen get cuteness aggression for their s/o

requested by many people! counterpart to this hc <3

masterlist

seungcheol, woozi

has probably actually gotten mad at how cute you are at some point. like genuinely, looking over at you and then just freezing, before loudly complaining and making a whole fuss over how you can't keep looking at him like that because he will!!! he Will need to punch something bc of just!!! how!!! cute!!! you are. nonono, he's not punching you, he's gonna punch like. a wall or something. just to vent over how someone as adorable as you actually exists. and then he'll give you kisses all over until you're laughing because you are ridiculously cute and he needs to shower you with affection so you realise how enamoured he is.

jeonghan, joshua, minghao

only he could make cuteness aggression sound like the softest thing ever. he'll be aggressively squishing your cheeks so hard that your eyes are all squinty and everything you say is basically indecipherable, whilst he continues sighing and looking at you with all the fondness in the world and lamenting over how goddamn adorable you are and honestly, what is he going to do with you? the stark contrast between his soft, enamoured voice and the way he's ruffling your hair and kissing your face everywhere like you're going to disappear any moment makes you laugh, weirdly endeared by his behaviour. you're going to get him back for it, though. and ruffle his hair until he can't see a single thing.

junhui, hoshi, mingyu, chan

probably cries. he looks at you sitting there all pretty, completely minding your own business, and the feelings just bubble up inside him so aggressively because WHO is allowed to be that adorable whilst doing absolutely nothing? it's not fair. what starts out as a rant over your cuteness ends up with him a bit teary-eyed and sniffly bc you're just so pretty and he doesn't know what to do. you have to pat him on the head and wipe away his tears as he clings to you and continues to tearily confess that you're the sweetest and loveliest person he's ever seen. his episodes of cuteness of aggression always end with you getting cuteness aggression too bc of how adorable he is everytime he does this

wonwoo, vernon

he's not very showy about his cuteness aggression, at all, but that doesn't mean it's not obvious. he'll stare at you for hours with literal hearts in his eyes, fondness written all over his face, and anyone who looks at him will just know how cute he finds you, even though he hasn't said a word. acts like you're the most precious being in the entire world, and is basically dissolving into a puddle of adoration right then and there. god, he's so lucky to even be in your presence and be able to love you, bc you're just so pretty and so cute. “why are you staring at me so much?” / “you're just so cute, i don't know what to do with you.”

dokyeom, seungkwan

he is very, very noisy about how cute he finds you. i mean like genuinely screeching and being all loud as he complains that you are far too adorable and what about his heart?? have you thought about his heart? bc it's currently melting onto the floor and it's all your fault!!!! the loud screeching is Also accompanied by very clingy hands, so expect the sudden shout to then be followed up with him basically hanging off your shoulders and holding your face in his hands as he cries over how adorable and lovely you are. everyone within a fifty metre radius will know that he finds you cute, by the way. be prepared.

𝜗𝜚 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄: fluff, established relationship 𝜗𝜚 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: idol!hoshi x fem!reader 𝜗𝜚 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓: 565

⦗💌 ⦘ it's no secret that the kwon siblings love to tease each other. but what happens when you come into play?

“stop touching my food!” soonyoung whined, as his sister quickly stole another piece of meat from his plate, giggling quietly. that had to be the third time she did that in the last five minutes, and hoshi was having none of that. “told you you shouldn’t have ordered that salad,” he muttered, looking at the last pieces of his favourite food on the nearly empty plate. 

“children, could you stop fighting for once and let us eat in peace?” his father chimed in. “we can’t take you out anywhere.” 

you, on the other hand, were too focused on your own food to notice the bickering that was happening right next to you. your day had been long and tiring, and this had to be your first meal of the day, so no one was really surprised that you were kind of in your own world at the moment. besides, at this point you were so used to the kwon siblings teasing each other that you stopped paying much attention to it. 

“it’s not my fault he’s being a chil- hey! why does she get to steal your food?” soonyoung’s sister asked indignantly, pointing her finger at you. “why are you not yelling at her, huh?” 

you quickly stopped in your tracks with your fork between yours and hoshi's plate with the last piece of his meat on it, and you could feel everyone's eyes on you without having to look up. “huh? what’s going on?” you asked, confused. sharing food in your relationship was normal, to be honest - you never fully ate whatever you ordered, you always shared it between each other, so why did you feel like you just committed a crime? 

“maybe because she’s my girlfriend, you moron,” soonyoung snickered, and moved his arm from the back of your chair to lay his hand on your thigh. “eat up, baby. don’t worry about her,” he said, and pecked your temple. 

his sister laughed bitterly, and set her fork down, clearly annoyed. “don’t worry about her? remember who’s the oldest here, kwon soonyoung.” 

your eyes wandered between the two with amusement, as you munched on the meat you just stole from soonyoung. it must have looked really funny from the perspective of the people sitting at the nearby tables - two adults shouting insults at each other like five-year-olds, but for you (less for their parents) this  was pure entertainment. 

your boyfriend and his sister were the epitome of a brother- sister dynamic. 

“oh my god, why are you so surprised i’m letting my literal girlfriend have my food?” he probably didn’t notice how his grip on you slightly tightened on the word “girlfriend”, but you couldn’t hide the small smile as he did that. it was cute how his body was unconsciously paying attention to you without him even knowing. “stop being a pain in the ass, and keep eating that grass or whatever that is.” 

“did you just rhyme ass with gra-?” 

“okay, you know what? you,” soonyoung’s mom pointed her fork at her daughter, “stop stealing his food. and you,” now she turned her head to her son, “have nothing left on that plate so leave, or keep your mouth zipped.” 

“but mom, it wasn’t me who started this!” 

yeah, the kwon family was a funny bunch, and you thanked your luckiest stars you could be a part of this beautiful mess.
