a heart that still beats

— when in the midst of despair, do you lose all hope?

synopsis: the year is 2080. in a world destroyed by climate change, there is only one hope left for safety, and of course it is one exploited by the rich and famous—make it to the airships that are fueled by oxygen on earth. unfortunately, you are neither, but you are a skilled mechanic who is separated from your companion by yet another flood.

lonely, bitter and lost, you eventually find a purpose in being the mechanic for 10 boys that have an ambitious plan to shut off the machines that fuel the cities above the earth, being welcomed as one of their own.

but this mission is their most crucial one, one that could cost them their lives. and as you think about your leader, daeyeol, you're inspired by his courage, but very nervous for the upcoming events to transpire.

cast: gn mechanic!reader x daeyeol ft. golden child members and mentions of sf9's youngbin

genre: sci-fi, dystopian!au, end of the world!au, loosely based on golden child’s ra pam pam mv, angst with comfort if you squint

wc: 6.6k (6,674)

warnings: mentions of death, gunshots, blood, flames, pollution, lots of cursing, reader cracks maybe one dirty joke (which is only dirty if you understand it), we get pretty existential here. lmk if i missed anything

a/n: reader has habit of calling everyone older hyung as that's what they've decided they're comfortable with (just y and daeyeol here), ignore the fact that it’s y on the banner LOL this is for aesthetic purposes. there's a few perspective switches near the end, and of course i always end up making the relationship ambiguous. also why is the plot so messy.. ugh i just want to get this fic out. yes this is the second time sf9 youngbin makes a cameo in my fics. i think daeyeol said he had no same age friends and i’m like oh wait who else is a 93 liner? so yeah, enjoy, because this took way too long to do.

[d-7]

you watched and gave a small nod of approval as your rc car (which jangjun had decided to name damdadi for some reason) wheeled across the tiled floor of the hideout. bomin and sungyoon were examining the oxygen tanks, but your main focus was on your tech.

ah, good. it works. and it's quiet too.

damdadi, like your other projects, was carefully crafted, because god knows you couldn’t afford to make any mistakes with your mechanical work—not that you liked to make mistakes with anything anyways. everything you did got a quality check at least twice.

nevertheless, you were nervous about whether the oddly-named damdadi would be able to complete its task of surveillance or not and with the lives of friends on the line, you certainly had no time to lose.

to the side, you picked up yet another rc car (bomin decided he'd name that one genie) and checked if it was in working order, because as a dear friend named youngbin had reminded you long ago, “it’s best to have backup plans in case any bullshit happens.”

"and bullshit will always happen," you finished the phrase easily.

as the phrase came into your mind, you wondered what had happened to him after a flood separated the both of you about a year ago—the occurrence of natural disasters was not uncommon, but that didn't mean it was any less devastating each time one occurred.

god, you remembered it so well. he had gone on a mission to gather supplies for your camp when the flood occurred. from the wreckage, you had emerged confused, tossed around like a ship lost at sea.

then, it turned into denial that he was gone, anger at circumstances you couldn’t have controlled, and then reluctant acceptance that you couldn’t find him. it wasn't like you couldn't survive on your own, but without someone to ground you, you'd be talking into a void of nothingness. still, you didn’t know if anything could fill the even deeper void in your heart.

youngbin said once to you, “loss is inevitable. remember jaeyoon? you know i would have done anything to save him, but i can’t control the fact that the soldier shot him in the damn chest, but i tried my best, and yet the feeling of not being able to save everyone fucking hurts. losing someone you love… ah, fuck. sorry if this was depressing. but if there’s anything i’d prepare you for, it’s that."

inevitable.

that word alone carried so much weight to it.

and from then on, you reminded yourself that nothing is permanent, not even the companionship of a friend. it’s the only way you got yourself through your separation.

after the flood, you were on your own for a while, trying to find youngbin. however, an annoying little shit named jangjun found you after you stole some supplies from a soldiers’ base. apparently he had the same idea.

after this incident, he took you back to meet the other 9 members of the crew you were part of now. although initially reluctant to trust them, you found their company to be likable enough. you assumed the role you always did, finding spare parts that could be repurposed as you always used to do with youngbin.

you knew youngbin and daeyeol were two separate people, but you couldn’t help but see one in the other and think that they might get along. thinking about the two of them together made things so much harder.

thinking about those days, you sighed. you couldn't believe a trip down memory lane could randomly be triggered by one glance at an rc car, but it would be unwise to stay there for too long. of course, you allowed yourself those brief moments of distraction in your memories, and then focused on the task at hand again. it was a reasonable way to live.

yes, you did miss those you had lost, but now was definitely not the time for that.

don't get too distracted. you have work to do. you have to keep going.

despite the gravity of the situation you were in, you couldn’t help but crack a joke in your mind about being good with your fingers as you fiddled with some more machinery. some things never changed, like your less-than-appropriate humor that either got you lighthearted scolding (from sungyoon and daeyeol, and of course, youngbin) or laughs from people who liked your occasional jokes (mostly jangjun, and surprisingly bomin too).

while examining a control panel, you felt a soft tap on your shoulder, which could only possibly belong to one person out of the group you currently lived with—lee daeyeol. he spoke with a gentle tone but it had a sense of authority. “could i talk to you for a second?”

mentally, you prepared for hell because whenever he used that familiar tone, he was being nice but definitely meant business and may the gods help whoever tried to get in his way. “of course, what did you want?”

he placed folded diagrams on the table. "i just wanted to check on your progress on that rc car, although knowing how fast you work i’m guessing you’re almost done. we've finalized a plan about how to shut off the machines.”

ah yes, he was talking about the machines of project aether, or better yet, a way for those with enough money and power to save themselves and leave the poor and helpless to rot. the act of using the oxygen on earth for airships to create a "paradise in the sky" for some while damaging the atmosphere down below made you scratch your head at the backwards logic.

it was starting to get a little sweaty in the room, and you fanned yourself with an old newspaper. "things are going well, dae. this rover should be ready in a few minutes for jaehyun and jibeom to take when they need it. better early than late. you ready to do this?"

he glanced at you, and let out a deep sigh, one filled with what you interpreted to be as deliberation. "it doesn't matter how i feel. this needs to happen soon."

as the leader of the group, daeyeol was required to handle many burdens and although you and the boys were usually with him, no one could never completely understand what was going through his mind. there was a special spark that was required to lead.

sometimes, you wondered how tired he really was, but he didn't like to show that side of him, always wanting to be the helper instead of the helped.

and of course, that reminded you of youngbin, which wasn't such a great path to take your mind to. so you'd put it upon yourself to move on from him, which you had done semi-successfully.

of course, he still had a designated space in your mind, no matter how hard you tried not to think about him.

you put down what you were working on to focus on daeyeol's words, knowing it wouldn't be good for your mind to go off on more tangents today. "alright then, let's go over the plan once more. i figure you want to run through it again. i just need to hear it too."

he nodded and opened one diagram, which you recognized as it was labeled project : aether (floor plan), with a picture of the air machine itself. you remembered researching machinery for that. he pointed to the spot where it said passcode entry point.

"because of you, seungmin and donghyun, we were able to get the password that controls the fuel source of the cities. as you know, we need to enter the password at that location in order to shut the machine off. but we're unsure of the exact situation with guards and their patrol routes, so we're going to send the rovers with the camera attached in order to assess it. the last thing we need is for there to be surprises we didn’t expect.”

he probably hadn't changed any aspects to the plan, but you asked for confirmation. "it's just you going, right?"

"yes. the rest of the group looked uncomfortable with the idea and as concerning as the idea of going alone is, i can't risk anyone else's life.” his lips set in a thin line. "and there's a limited supply of oxygen tanks, anyways."

you let out a humorless chuckle, knowing just how brutal it was out there. "dae, we're clearly not as selfless as you. no one asks to potentially get shot at by assholes in hazmat suits.”

not being able to hide your true thoughts, you quietly added, “and honestly, i’m probably the most selfish of you guys.”

out of the corner of your eye, you saw him frown. "now don’t say that, you help in your own way. you've been invaluable in developing the technology for this mission. remember, nothing goes unnoticed by me."

you still did get a little flustered whenever people mentioned your skill, and you brushed his words off with the lazy swipe of a hand. "oh, i can't take all the credit for this stuff. seungmin helped me a lot." the mentioned guy was currently fiddling with the screen on the wall to make sure it actually worked.

yeah, you knew you were decent at what you did, but it's not like you wanted the spotlight for it, preferring to remain behind the scenes most of the time. to put it simply, you liked working in the shadows and only showing up when necessary to report something.

"you sell yourself short, y/n," he said with an amused grin on his face.

"do i, dae? if you want, i could just start bragging about myself all the time."

he laughed, and oh, how you took the sound in like nourishment. true laughter was hard to come across nowadays, as a lot of things were. "now let's not jump between extremes, okay?"

you made a salute as if you were on some pirate ship. “aye-aye, captain!” damdadi was still turned on, and you maneuvered it next to daeyeol, just to demonstrate the functionality, before turning the power off.

“god, imagine being pirates. we’d be the worst pirate crew ever. imagine trying to wake up bomin and get him to do anything but sleep prettily!”

daeyeol shrugged. "well, i could probably use captain privileges to boss him around, anyways."

"as if! he listens to no one, especially you."

the two of you grinned, sharing a moment. there were times when you forgot that the air was polluted, the rich were assholes and food was hard to find—now was one of those times. it was nice to not think about that for a bit. you were aware however, that the cold reality waited around the corner like a gunman waiting to fire.

you rested your head on his shoulder, an action you had grown more comfortable with gradually after he told you it was okay to do it. it seemed to say a message without words, i don’t know what the future holds, but at least i’m here with you.

daeyeol closed his eyes and spoke his next sentence quietly. “hey, i know i told you guys i’d be prepared for anything and we're aware of how this might end. it might go badly. if i’m honest, it’s been very nerve-wracking to prepare for this. i just wanted to say that i will protect you guys. whatever it takes. i think we have a chance to end this once and for all.”

won't you protect yourself? won't you be selfish too for once? that's all i need. you thought, but didn't say aloud.

you, who never thought you'd shed a tear since getting separated from youngbin, who didn't like getting very sentimental in front of others, embraced daeyeol. "hyung, sometimes i wonder how people like you can exist, so full of hope and all that optimistic stuff. shit, i promise i don't mean it in a bad way, but...” you trailed off.

"it's hard to have hope, right?"

"you could say that."

from the moment you had met him, he had struck you as someone who wouldn’t give up. all of the group did, but especially him. to keep fighting, one had to think that things would get better someday. one needed hope.

he rested one hand on your shoulder, as if he were transferring his wisdom over to you merely by touch. “until the moment i die, i won’t stop having it. it’s the only way we’ll be able to keep pushing through. call me optimistic, but if there seems to be no hope, we have to create it for ourselves. i don't want live hopelessly knowing that i could have tried to make a better future."

you played with a screw in your jacket pocket. "hope's short in supply sometimes, i admit.”

“it is. but all you need is a bit of it to survive.”

you felt your chest rise and fall, acutely aware of your breath. if you really thought about it, it was dangerous to risk it all on one mission, a singular chance to get this right before the soldiers could wipe you all out.

but you thought of the boys you had come to know over months of time, and everything became clearer.

joochan deserved a chance to sing in air that was truly clean. donghyun would get to dance outside without fear of being shot. jibeom and jaehyun could simply mess around with the rc cars you and seungmin made instead of just sending them out into the dangerous world outside their base. most of all, daeyeol would be able to breathe easily (quite literally and metaphorically), after the mission was over.

and of course, you wanted to take that first breath of air with each and every one of them.

hope brought a world of possibilities to think about, so close and yet so far away. it would fuel you, so long as you believed it still existed—and although you didn't really consider yourself as much of an idealist as daeyeol, you needed to be, especially now.

you brought up your hands to your head, which happened to hurt a little, and his voice brought you back to the present.

“hey, y/n, you seem like you’re lost in thought. all good?”

as expected, he can tell what goes on with you.

“just thinking about our upcoming mission. can't help but stay awake...”

he frowned. “it's late, take a rest too. i can't let everyone else in the team deprive themselves of sleep. don't overwork yourself, y/n.”

and before you had known it, he left and came back with a bit of water he had saved. water was difficult to come across but the group was fortunate to have some, so you savored every drop you got to taste. “thank you, daeyeol.”

“always.”

although you continued working, you knew these coming days would be difficult, and later you finally decided to take daeyeol’s advice, eventually letting yourself slip into a dreamlike state on the smooth metal beds.

(you wouldn't have known anyways, but daeyeol glanced at you several times while you were asleep.

you'd be alright, he knew. still, it was nice for him to make sure. he smiled, and got back to work.)

[d-3]

the main room, with all 11 of the crew, wasn’t outwardly panicking, but it contained a nervous energy that simmered and quietly stirred everyone's feelings of anxiety. the crew always worked hard, but this particular week needed everyone's dedication, whether it was finding spare parts, to looking over diagrams, to last minute research.

despite these demands, you were impressed with everyone's resilience.

youngtaek shrugged his shoulders in an attempt to relieve tension. he turned on the medium-sized screen that was inside the hideout, which currently was connected to a phone you and seungmin had built together. "the camera works fine, i see the footage from it showing up.”

you sighed in relief. it was good to know that something worked.

"ow, my feet," jibeom interjected, as damdadi rolled over them.

"alright, thanks youngtaek!" jaehyun grabbed the phone from him and affixed it onto damdadi. he then gestured to jibeom. “come on, let’s go send the rc car to survey the terrain, before y/n does that annoying thing where they yell at us for using their tech all wrong.”

“okay well, you can't just use damdadi to run over jibeom's feet, we got a mission!” you yelled from across the room, where you were working on a drone.

jaehyun smiled innocently at you. "yeah, well it'll be fine and we'll get it done. i think we're very capable. or at least, i am—"

"hey, take that back!" jibeom glared at jaehyun. “i hate you."

the two continued to bicker like children. "okay. jibeom, just so you know, if the guards come and you run too slow, i will be leaving your ass behind!"

these two argue so much, it's almost as if i'm watching a tv sitcom.

"just go already, guys," you said, amused by their antics. "and don't die, of course."

“have a little faith,” jibeom whined. jaehyun laughed at him again, and with the turn of a knob, damdadi rolled to the door with them.

after they left, you went to talk to daeyeol, showing him a few of the drones you had made with seungmin. “i was thinking that i can use these to divert the soldiers' attention so that they're less likely to shoot at you. couldn't hurt, right?”

"hm, good idea, just make sure your drones take a different route to the location. you thought of me that much?" he added, lightly teasing you.

your cheeks warmed slightly, but you kept your face impassive. "well, precautions are necessary, are they not?"

he was serious, but you could sense a bit of amusement coming from him. "they are. you always think ahead, don't you?" and with that, he approved of your addition to the plan.

you let out a sigh of partial relief, and continued to test out another drone.

"just say you love him or something, because even i can tell." seungmin, who had been working next to you muttered this after daeyeol left to wake up bomin. he screwed in another bolt. "you might as well remind him before...."

he doesn't finish the sentence, but he didn't need to. the two of you looked at each other in understanding. survival was never guaranteed in a world as wrecked as this one. he looked away for a second and closed his eyes briefly before continuing to talk.

"never mind. anyways, let's just keep working—we're making good progress. after this, we'll have 4 drones to use. it’s always useful to have something that flies, i suppose."

you obliged, figuring it would be better to shut up and just continue doing what you were always good at—attempting to ignore anything not related to your job. but seungmin's words still lingered and you would do anything to get them out.

later, seeing a frightened jibeom and a tired jaehyun return with news that a soldier had captured the rc car was enough to make you quietly simmer with rage (it was precious technology, after all), but you were almost thankful for the feeling.

at least you still felt something.

[d-day]

this was going to be rather interesting.

lee daeyeol was not supposed to be scared—or at least, he was not supposed to show it. in fact, he was the one whom people looked to for comfort, strength, guidance, and sacrifice (even if no one would say it aloud). if he looked scared, it would set the tone for this mission. who would believe in them? in their cause?

so he shouldered his burden of shutting off the machines of project: aether with calm determination, trying to steady himself despite his accelerating heart rate and the vague feeling of the world swaying beneath his feet. “i’m going out the route we discussed. send the drones out a different exit and wait for the radio signal from me to go up. if something unexpected happens, only one of you should check first."

"got it. stay safe, hyung." sungyoon checked daeyeol's oxygen's tank one last time, sighing to himself.

daeyeol looked to you, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "do you have the ring?"

you wordlessly got up to grab daeyeol's ring from the table, and watched as he slipped it on carefully. the piece of jewelry was special for him, as it was a gift from a childhood friend he had kept for his whole life.

to him, it signified many things, but he could never deny the fact seeing the ring gave him hope.

your voice was soft yet full of conviction as you gave him words of reassurance. "stay strong. we'll be waiting. but even if you don't return, i want to thank you, for everything. i love you, in every sense of the word."

daeyeol closed his eyes. you weren't usually the sentimental type.

it was times like this where he found it hard to walk away. if he let his heart take over, he would stay safe with you against the harsh reality of the world. but he knew that first, he had to carry out his plan.

he extended his arms towards you, pulling you into a tight hug. "you as well, y/n. remember, i'll be with you, always."

he double-checked the levels in his oxygen tank, affirming that they were alright. now, it really was time to go.

"if you don't stay safe, hyung, i'll kick your ass all the way to the sky," jangjun yelled.

"got it," he said, a small grin on his face. of course jangjun would be the one to joke around.

and with that, he turned away, walking towards the entrance of your hideout with conviction. the doors opened, and he stepped out, leaving behind the people he loved most. it would be painful for him to turn around now, and so he chose not to.

at least, if he thought of his team, full of people he wanted to give the world to, he had something tangible to fight for.

as daeyeol left, the 10 of you stared at the door and no one dared say a thing, for fear of it being wrong, but a distinct sigh came from bomin, who could not hide his frustration as the youngest. that's when you knew it was time to do your part, just as daeyeol would do his.

slightly trembling, you got into position and used the camera on the one of the drones to help examine its surroundings and navigate it through the twists and turns of the hide out.

sungyoon, much to everyone’s surprise, stood up a minute later. “i'm not letting him do this alone. lee daeyeol, i swear if you go alone at this point.."

"take care, hyung," bomin said.

he nodded in response.

you buried your head in your hands. it's not like you needed his life at risk too. but sungyoon could be rather stubborn at times, and you weren't trying to argue with him at a time like this.

besides, it's not like he couldn't handle himself out there.

he went to grab an oxygen tank, put its heavy weight on his back, and exited the hideout. but with his running skills, the team knew he would catch up to daeyeol soon enough.

outside, the chemicals in the air gave the impression that everything was a fatal orange, the orange that burned from that pillar of fire daeyeol saw in the distance. it seemed like it would burn straight to his soul and consume him.

but daeyeol found he could run faster than even he anticipated, fueled by a fire of his own.

above the flames, the floating paradise of the rich taunted him, as if they were situated in the heavens and looking down upon people like him, those who couldn't make it up there with what they had in their pockets.

those who were left to perish amongst the ashes.

daeyeol kept going.

unbeknownst to him, sungyoon was making his way over, navigating past abandoned trailers and trying not to alert the presence of any guards—he was quite aware of their patrol routes now.

after a few minutes, he found daeyeol, whispering, “hyung. i’m here."

the older boy looked over in surprise. "now that i think about it, i'm not surprised."

sungyoon's presence had revitalized him completely, a blessing that he wasn't to take lightly. daeyeol gave sungyoon a nod of acknowledgment, and they headed for the passcode entry point together.

as they did, a group of 3 soldiers ran across an elevated ledge.

"we gotta go!" dayeol exclaimed, pointing upwards. they sprinted towards the tower that felt so close, and yet, was still feet away.

a bullet punctured sungyoon's oxygen tank, and the hiss of air leaking out could be heard.

shit, daeyeol thought. he needed to do something, and quick.

they took cover some medium-sized storage crates as he removed his oxygen mask and put it over sungyoon's face, transferring the tank as well.

then, covering his mouth, he ran as fast as he could towards the tower. only a few feet away the tower, the soldiers shot him in the back. and yet he ran, bleeding through his denim jacket.

he inputted the correct code into the security screen.

3-2-6-4.

as sungyoon rushed over to him, daeyeol pushed the lever to shut off the tower off with all of his remaining strength. the pillar of fire emerging from the tower's base shut off, and the smoke in the area began to dissipate.

"you really did it, hyung." sungyoon said, looking around in awe. he sat beside daeyeol. the older boy smiled back.

i can rest, at least sungyoon is fine. no one else had to suffer.

he blinked several times to try and stay awake as sungyoon took off his vest, pressing lightly against one of daeyeol's wounds.

a few minutes earlier...

back at the base, your body felt frozen, except for your fingers, which were the only thing moving. it was quite difficult to steer a drone with the intense weather conditions outside and turmoil within you. but this was your responsibility, and you had to carry it out to the end.

"maybe a little higher," you muttered to yourself as the drone continued to fly. there was a smaller phone next to you, which allowed you to see out of the tiny camera on the drone. seungmin, tag and bomin had drones too.

“i see guards.” seungmin said sharply. “oh wait, i think daeyeol and sungyoon are in the distance too.”

jangjun spoke up. "okay, i'm going up to the warehouse building. i just need to safely observe what's happening outside in case your drones go down."

"someone, hand him a radio! i only have mine." seungmin yelled. "and remember, keep yourself hidden."

donghyun gave the remote to jangjun, who thanked him and left the base quickly.

amidst the chaos, you continued to maneuver the drone, trying to stay in control. the guards appeared to aim their guns in the general direction of the tower, which was where daeyeol and sungyoon were headed to.

you knew the guards were mostly there to prevent people like you guys from shutting off all the technology rich people had paid for. disgusting and vile.

“ah, shit, gotta steer away from there,” you muttered, your hand grasping the right controller stick. the drone flew slightly off to the side, and from what you could make out, the direction some of the guns were firing in changed.

oh god. there's a ton of soldiers. damn.

in all honesty, what happened next was chaos. a few of the screens lost connection. on a screen that was still intact, you saw blood, or at least, you thought you did.

the world blurred around you, but then came into focus again, but you knew that you couldn't collapse, not now. thankfully, your bottle had some water left.

"something's wrong," you say, fidgeting with your hands.

"of course something is wrong!" seungmin said, groaning. "what the hell is happening?"

youngtaek observed the surrounding area through his drone, but soon he had to find somewhere to land it, making sure it was well out of view before doing so.

he groaned shortly after. "great, the camera on the drone is almost dead. but from what i was able to see outside, i can tell someone shot sungyoon and daeyeol as they were headed over. i don't think they'll be coming back soon," he remarked. "so, maybe three to five of us should go out and help. we'll need to treat any wounds."

"do we even have enough medical supplies for this?" you asked, your mind racing. you began to sort through the stuff in the emergency backpack, making sure you could pack as much as possible.

shit. are daeyeol and sungyoon going to die? damn it, those two—

your thoughts were interrupted because over the radio, jangjun’s voice resounded, loud, clear and... somewhat excited? “come. look outside. i can't fucking believe it! we’ll finally be able to breathe the fucking air! you gotta see for yourselves! oh my god... is this real?”

his voice got faint, so you assumed he was busy staring at the sky, and how could you blame him?

everyone looked at each other with shock and disbelief. it's been a while since you've stared out the windows of the warehouse, but whenever you did, it was always the same—a sea of orange and the menacing presence of security drones. seeing something different would be a relief, a sign that daeyeol had gotten the job done after all.

still, you didn't want to be get too excited.

seungmin spoke into the radio. "alright, be there soon, hyung, but we have to go check on daeyeol and sungyoon afterwards. by the way, stop cursing so much, you potty-mouth.”

you heard a crackling sound before he responded, “fuck no.”

ha, he certainly is something.

afterwards, you took the radio, greeting jangjun with a laugh.

"hey, jangjun! is the air really as clear as you say it is?" you said, rolling your eyes. "you get fired up so easily and exaggerate. how do we tell you're not just messing with us?"

jangjun sighed once, one of those sassy why-don't-you-listen-because-i'm-right type of sighs. "just look at the damn sky before you come out, okay? i took off my mask and it felt okay, but don't take my word for it. bring the surgical masks if you're really worried."

you shrugged. "we'll be there. but let's be careful."

then, talking to the rest of the team, you said, "help me grab medical supplies and weapons. once we meet jangjun and get outside, we have to make sure there are no soldiers or drones."

"alright, i'll go ahead with jaehyun to go check on daeyeol and sungyoon and give them necessary medical attention," youngtaek said.

you found a pistol and picked it up. "got it."

"found the surgical masks!" jaehyun exclaimed.

everyone headed out, feeling mixed emotions of fear and anticipation. bomin was by your side. “y/n, will it be okay?”

to be honest, you weren’t the greatest at comforting people, but you tried your best. he was the youngest, and although you knew he was an adult and could handle himself, you still had a bit of a parental instinct.

“i don’t know. i trust that they did their job. we can have a bit of hope, can’t we?”

“yeah. i guess we can.” his breathing became steadier, and you were grateful.

soon enough, you were ascending the steps of what used to be functional escalators. light shone through the tinted glass ceiling, so oddly colored and dirtied that it was difficult to tell what life was like on the outside.

jangjun was leaning against a column, his gaze turned towards a sky that was finally more blue than orange for the first time, devoid of the flame tower in the air that everyone had grown so accustomed to.

you walked beside him, quietly waiting for him to acknowledge your presence. while continuing to stare, he shook his head rapidly, as if trying to wake up from a dream. "i still can't believe it. damn. it seemed like yesterday that there were drones swarming outside the window."

you laughed. "believe what? that we're alive? that this stupid machine is off? that the sky is blue?"

"all of it."

it was rare to see jangjun's contemplative side, but it was certainly present right now. you weren't sure that you believed it either. maybe you dreamt this entire incident up too. unless anyone said otherwise, though, this was real.

you shrugged. "well, there's been crazier things in this world."

"you're damn right about that."

the crew talked quietly amongst themselves, not wanting to ruin the atmosphere that was established by the strange stillness outside the window.

"i think we should go out now." seungmin said to the group, still in a state of shock.

everyone walked out towards an outside balcony where people probably used to hang out long before you were alive. apparently there was a time when the outside air wasn't so dangerous.

as you stepped out of the building, you found a place to stand. after a few minutes, you felt comfortable removing your mask.

you took a breath in, slowly. then, you exhaled. surprised at how easy and yet difficult it was, you repeated the action. it wasn't perfect air—the atmosphere would probably never return to 100% normal—but it was certainly something.

you tried to spot the telltale red lights of enemy drones, but you couldn't find any, to your shock.

there'd be no point in sending them anyways, you surmised. the job's been done.

of course, your heart felt conflicted with the absence of sungyoon and daeyeol, especially the latter. you'd need to check on them soon, just to see how they were doing in person.

you leaned against a white ledge, alone with your thoughts for just a second.

it'll be okay. surely, they'll be okay, you thought, trying to be optimistic.

and yet, there was still a part of you that wondered if you would find their lifeless bodies. but even that would be better than not finding them at all.

that's highely unlikely, of course you'll find them.

you looked at joochan, who had found a place beside you. he was humming softly. the two of you weren't as close (hey, it was hard to get to know the ten others in your crew equally), but you knew he loved music and saw it as his life. through song, you felt as though you understood whatever emotions he wanted to convey.

"wow, i think i'm dreaming," he says, his words riding softly on the breeze. "i never really understood why people sang songs about blue skies until now."

you laughed, despite yourself. "you're not the first to think that we're dreaming. maybe we'll wake up in a few minutes. but for now, this is our reality."

you heard youngtaek's voice over the walkie talkie in your hand. "daeyeol was shot in the back, so he's our priority right now. sungyoon's not in critical condition, but he does have a few bruises and needs to rest as well. make sure you secure the area you're in—we'll let you know when we're done here."

conversation broke out amongst the group.

"why did he do this by himself again?"

"i can't believe it..."

"hyung, you really are crazy for doing this."

meanwhile, you tried to process the news yourself. you weren't doubtful of youngtaek and jaehyun's medical capabilities, but after hearing about this, you knew that it would take a while for him to heal.

you told the group that you were going to go check how sungyoon and daeyeol were faring while they finished scanning the area.

after crossing between a maze of storage crates and covering a long stretch of flat land, you finally made it to the base of the tall tower.

despite all of the hardships you had been through, the sight of the tower without a flame made you smile, even if just for a second.

you spotted daeyeol sitting on the stone floor, his back against the control panel and sungyoon beside him. jaehyun and youngtaek were busy giving them medical treatment. they were obscured on two sides by large crates, which was good.

you were glad sungyoon and daeyeol had survived, but you couldn’t stand to see them in pain, especially your leader.

it only made you feel like you had failed as a companion in protecting him.

first, you talked to sungyoon, who seemed to have a few bruises and was panting heavily, but otherwise, seemed to be alright. he stood up

"i'm glad the two of you weren't alone," you said to him.

sungyoon nods. "he says he can do things alone, and although it's probably true, i wanted to be by his side."

you think of youngbin, and how you lost him. the feeling of deep loyalty isn't unfamiilar to you.

"i... understand."

you wish you were still by youngbin's side.

"here's some water," jaehyun said to sungyoon. luckily, he was able to drink on his own.

next, you looked over at daeyeol, whose eyes were set in a solemn gaze.

on closer inspection, you examined blood trickling from several places in his body. you hated seeing him like this, wanting to give him whatever strength you had.

you approached him slowly, not wanting to overwhelm him. “hi, daeyeol. how are you holding up?”

his response came in slow, short sentences. “i'm fine, for now. need… water. it’s good... to see you, y/n.”

you pulled an extra bottle of water out of your bag and slowly poured it in his mouth. you weren't the medical authority amongst your team, but you knew it wouldn't be good if he was required to move, considering the fact that he had been shot.

“it's good to see you too.” you laid a hand on his shoulder and continued speaking softly. you wanted to envelop him in a bone-crushing hug, but you were sure there'd be time for that when he was fully healed.

when, not if, right?

“i know you're probably thinking about the next step in all this, but.." you hesitated. "let us take care of you a while longer. you've already done so much for us."

he laughed, the sound strained. "i won't do anything drastic, don't worry."

you sat down in front of him, fingertips inches away from his. suddenly, you were a little tired as well. "please, let me know if there's anything that you need.

daeyeol took your hand. "you're here... for me, that's enough."

the golden ring on his hand glimmered in the sunlight. he said it reminded him of many things—your team, as his duty as a leader, the memories you've all shared.

you had always been more of a realist. youngbin was too, accepting that things were the way they were, and taught you that there wasn't much you could do except try to survive another day and solve things practically.

but daeyeol taught you something too, that hope was something that could be cultivated, even in the face of struggle. you took a glance at your friends, feeling a weight lift off of your shoulders.

no, problems weren't going to magically disappear. wounds took time to heal. work still needed to be done. you could lose it all at any moment. it was scary, to not know what came after this moment.

but as long as you had a heartbeat, as long as you were alive, you could have hope, even if it was faint.

"yes," you said, gazing at the endless sky above you. "it's enough."

you’re starring in a movie with the last person in your camera roll + the last song you listened to is the title. who/what is it?

hiii @savventeen ty for the tag lovely

ok im cheating a little because while the last person IS baeseung. the picture is a dumb one i took while showing ursa instagram failing me so im just gonna throw the last baeseung pic i have instead!! (otherwise the last person is bomin from his bday pics but theres baeseung pics right before it)

the way these both were golcha… its a sign. golcha come back i miss u guys. im already forgetting who they are. who is jangjun and why does he live in my mind. he's not even paying rent???

bae seungmin + replay... i feel like its either some kind of sci-fi time travel movie. unwilling partners kind of deal where neither of us wanna chill w one another (probably for dumb reasons) and part of the journey is us growing to appreciate one another's skills.

that or its a romcom of a day repeating over and over again until we get it right. groundhog day kind of deal but there's two of us. someone gets a drink spilled on them in the beginning and its a very "ugh, im stuck with YOU" situation until idk we kis kis fall in luv.... enemies to lovers arc but its also losers to lovers arc. ft our quirky best friends who eventually believe us and we get it down to a science. said besties would be the ones who are like "have you ever considered you idiots need each other to get out of ur time loop or w/e" and thats the turning point of begrudging "ok fine i guess we'll have to work together"

@hgbomin / party, late.

it’s the middle of one of those in-betweens. where everything seems to be positioned not quite right. taehwan’s busy, there’s an awkward span of time before his next competition, and making friends far more famous than he’ll ever be proves problematic when none of them pick up their phones. an exciting beginning to the night that’s led him here. a house party he’d found out through word of mouth. had immediately swallowed down many of the pre-mixed cocktails scattered in a bougie fashion across the marbled counter. done an attempt to stop feeling so very in-between. rioh would rather feel like enough. 

but the company is vague. a swarm of do i know you’s? and then rioh has to spend time figuring out if they’ve bonded out back behind a gas station, chain smoking their way through a pack of cigarettes at three in the morning, drunk enough for faces to be remembered blurred. or else, did they just managed to spot him on tv one day before they flicked it over to something far more entertaining. 

a great way to spend the night.

made greater when a more cognizant acquaintance comes into view. backed into a corner like a maimed deer and it’s made apparent that rioh’s use of the word entertainment is entirely sarcastic. “bomin,” he says anyway when bomin stops in front of him. the name works its way casually off the end of rioh’s tongue, like he hadn’t hit ignore the last time bomin called him, like he hadn’t opted to leave his last three texts on read. in the grand scheme of things, what does it matter? rioh feels very deeply that he doesn’t matter much to bomin either, found in the way where he’s not even sure what they are. they sidestep the label of friends, are far from the idealized concept of lovers. at best, rioh is (was) a well-kept secret pulled out when they’re both bored and lonely enough that vodka can no longer fix it. must be used as lubrication to smooth the way into making bad life choices instead. 

he’s a little surprised bomin’s not attempting to shove them both into a linen closet, just to cover up all that paranoia of people potentially spotting them and jumping to conclusions in a jack-rabbited frenzy. maybe it’s coming next. rioh has no idea what to say, and so he settles on neutrality. 

“having fun?”

Masterlist - - - Next chapter

“You guys are cowards!” You said, crossing your arms against your chest and a wide pout spreading on your pinkish lips. “We’re not cowards! We just have a huge respect towards heights.” Sungyoon said, patting your head making you sway away from his soft and teasing touch. “It’s not that high.” You answered back at your older brother who had that devilish smile painted on his lips, the devilish smile you always hated. You couldn’t help rolling your eyes at his expression, making your older brother and Bomin laugh at your cute and mad figure. “Come on, don’t look at us like that.” Bomin said, trying to calm down your anger towards Sungyoon.

It felt like any other day in your life with them. After all, the three of you have been together since you were born. Bomin being your brother’s best friend before you were born, made things even easier for you to be part of their beautiful and never ending friendship. And as time went by, it also contributed to you having a crush on Bomin since teenage days. At first, you swore it was just the close friendship you both had, always denying having strong feelings towards him whenever Sungyoon asked you about it. But soon, you could notice the strong feeling blooming in your heart whenever Bomin landed on your gaze, it was far away similar to the feelings you felt when you were with other friends.

But what could you do? Even though you found yourself catching feelings towards your brother’s and your own best friend, how were you supposed to tell him your feelings? What if you confessed your feelings and he rejected you? How would you be able to keep acting the same way you have been acting all these years? It was impossible and if american movies taught you something, dating your best friend never ended well.

“Come on, quit looking at us with that gaze full of anger. Here, go buy some cotton candy.” Sungyoon said knocking you out of your thoughts and handing you a bill so you could buy the quintessential candy for all three. “Fine.” You said, taking the bill from his warm hand and walked towards the little tent that was selling fresh cotton candy.

“Are you going to ask her out already?” Sungyoon asked as soon as you walked away but not before checking that you were far enough to not hear their little conversation. “What? All of a sudden?” Bomin asked, startled because of his friend’s question. He would have never imagined Sungyoon would ask him such kind of questions so suddenly, especially when you, his little sister, were the main answer to all of them. “I’m tired of third wheeling you two whenever we hang out without an official reason. Just ask her out and live the happy life you have always dreamt about.” Sungyoon said, encouraging his young friend to finally confess his feelings towards you. “It’s not that easy…” Bomin said, a nervous giggle escaping his lips as he avoided Sungyoon’s gaze as his ears turned red in embarrassment. “I’ll go home earlier, that way you’ll be able to be alone and it’ll be easier.” Sungyoon whispered, winking at him before you handed him his cotton candy. “What will be easier?” You asked confused after hearing the last words your brother said. “Get you to pay for dinner next time we hang out. Bomin paid for dinner, I paid for the cotton candy. It’s your turn next time.” Sungyoon said, perfectly covering his little plan and making you laugh and avoiding the topic to hopefully make them forget that little detail for the next time you go out.

Hours kept going by and even though you couldn’t convince them to get on any of the fair attractions due to their “huge respect to heights”, you had to admit you had a pretty lovely and funny time with them, making every single second you spent together more than worth it. “I should get going, I have to work on an assignment for college.” Sungyoon suddenly said, looking at Bomin with piercing eyes to make sure he understood what he really meant. “Are you seriously going to ruin the night again for your assignments?” You complained. It was early, the sun just got settled and the night just started. You wanted to stay for a little bit longer to enjoy a bit more of Bomin's presence, completely unable to get enough from him. “You guys can stay. But don’t come back too late.” Sungyoon said, pulling you into a warm hug and leaving a soft peck on your temple before waving a goodbye to both of you. “What’s wrong with him?” You asked Bomin, the word ‘confused’ written all over your face. But to your surprise, Bomin’s face had the word ‘embarrassment’ written on it. His ears turned light red, resembling the bright lights from the different attractions, making you laugh at how cute he looked, never being able to hide when he felt shy.

Even though you could notice how nervous and shy he became as soon as your brother left, you both had to admit that you had a pretty lovely time with him. Especially, the fact of being alone together made everything more… romantic. Like if you were a real couple dating at the annual town fair. You just felt alive once again, something you haven’t been able to feel lately because of how stressed you were because of college and the relationship you started to have with your brother.

“I had a lot of fun today.” Bomin said once you arrived in front of your apartment front door. “I enjoyed it a lot too. Even though I couldn’t try any of the attractions.” You said giggling, making him laugh as well at the fact of them being too scared to go on an attraction with you. “I want to tell you something before you go in…” Bomin suddenly said, already avoiding your shiny gaze. You looked at him with curious eyes, not really knowing what was going through his mind. You could always read Bomin’s mind like an open book but tonight, it has been really hard to guess his thoughts throughout the entire day, like he built a wall for you to not read it anymore. “I would like to go out with you more… Without Sungyoon… More like a couple instead of friends…” Bomin finally said. Your eyes went wide unconsciously at his words. You would have never imagined Bomin felt that way towards you. Maybe in another situation, you would have answered listening to your mind more than listening to your heart but today, for some reason, everything felt so right and your heart was shouting ‘accept him’ at the top of its lungs. “I would also like to do that.” You finally said, a huge weight lifting from your chest, freeing you once and for all from that stupid weight you have been carrying for the last 3 years.

“Come in already, you’ll catch a cold.” You heard Sungyoon’s voice from behind before your lips could meet Bomin’s. You clenched your fist, wanting to punch your older brother for breaking such a beautiful moment. “He’s right, I don’t want you to get sick.” Bomin said, cupping your cheeks and kissing your forehead with a lovely peck full of care and love. And with that, he left and faded into the night as he walked towards his apartment a few streets away from yours. “You’re dead.” You said, death glaring at your older brother as you entered the small house. “You should be grateful! If it weren’t because of your amazing older brother that kid would have never confessed.” Sungyoon said, closing the front door and running towards you with a proud smile and curious eyes waiting for you to tell him absolutely everything like you used to do before your parents passed away in that car accident.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” You asked, looking down at your brother who was patiently waiting for you to talk, laying down on the couch next to you. “Do we really have to have this conversation?” You asked once you noticed his gaze and perfectly understood what he was waiting for. “Yes we do.” He said, his proud smile widening a bit more if it was even possible. “Fine… What do you want?” You said, turning around to face him fully and admire the galaxy his orbs held. It’s been ages since the last time you saw it. Even though you hated to admit it, you miss that special gleam in his eyes. You missed the night talks you had with your brother before the accident happened. You miss being his little sister and best friend.

Hours went by but you both were so immersed in your conversation that you didn’t care it was past midnight. You started telling him all your feelings from Bomin but, somehow, you both ended up talking about your feelings about life during the last few years. When you both were kids, it was pretty usual for you to sit down together and talk about your day or how you felt about certain situations. You both were inseparable. But when your parents passed away, your relationship got worse and those conversations and laughs were replaced by fights and shouts. “We should go to sleep, it’s late.” Sungyoon said, cleaning his glasses that were dirty because of the tears he shed because of laughing. “Thank you.” You suddenly said, hugging him tightly, something you haven’t done in the past 4 years. He was surprised at your sudden action but he didn’t hesitate to hug you back. “Go to sleep, I won’t wake up earlier just to wake you up so you don’t arrive late to college.” He said, pressing a loving kiss on the top of your head before taking you to bed. “Good night, bunny.” You quietly said before he could close the door of your bedroom. Those words pierced his heart like a knife, triggering tons of memories from your childhood. You used to call him like that when you were kids and he accepted playing with you at tea time because your favorite movie was Alice in Wonderland. “Good night, little one.” He said, making you smile unconsciously at the memory of him sitting in front of you, serving some imaginary tea and calling you ‘little one’.

A few hours went by and you were lost deep into slumber dreaming about something you cannot really remember. The only thing you can remember is that you were sleeping with so much peace, like you haven’t been able to sleep in the past years. Everything felt so good and peaceful and finally, not only your body but your soul was taking a well deserved rest. But unfortunately that peace didn’t last for too long.

“Sungyoon, what's going on?” You asked scared. A strong bomb sound pulled you out of your slumber making you feel scared and confused. “I don’t know but there’s something clearly wrong out there.” Sungyoon said, running towards your bed to check you were okay. Once he made sure you were okay and the only bad thing going on with you was that you were extremely terrified, he went downstairs to grab the phone and try to call someone. But it was useless. Whatever that explosion was, it destroyed every single signal from phones and TVs. “Stay here, I’ll go out for a while to see if I can figure out what happened. Under no circumstances leave this house. Shut the blinders and if anybody rings the doorbell do not open it until I come back, okay?” Sungyoon said, grabbing a bag and a lantern to go out of the house. “Can you go check on Bomin?” You asked. Your hands were trembling and you couldn’t believe the best day of your life was the beginning of your worst nightmare. “I will, don’t worry. Remember, don’t open the door to anybody, I have my keys so I won’t need to knock on the door. I’ll be back in an hour.” Sungyoon said, pulling you into a tight hug before leaving to find out what your worst nightmare looked like.

• requested: yes | no by anon

There was always a stigma around being the rich kid. Everyone had their own opinions about being rich. Some thought it would be a blessing to be rich, while others believe that being rich makes you a snob. You didn’t want to be known as the snobby rich kid. Your parents raised you better than that, so you made sure to live up to how they raised you. You got along with everyone, and you had a lot of friends.

You also had a tinge of a thing for the risky side. You had perhaps the biggest crush on your school’s biggest personality, Kim Sunwoo. Sunwoo wasn’t the most likeable kid on the block. Like you, he was born into a wealthy family. Unlike you, he liked to use that to his advantage. He loved to show off and use his wealth to make friends, but it made him more enemies than anything. Not that Sunwoo minded, but he would always hope that it never ran you off. Unbeknownst to you, he felt just as strongly for you as you did for him.

“Stop staring at him!” You heard someone say as everyone got settled into their seats before class.

You turned to the voice and came face to face with your best friend and, of course, Sunwoo’s best friend, Eric Sohn.

“Why are you bothering me, Eric?” You asked the boy, eyeing him this time.

Eric grinned. “Oh come on, you love me.”

You fought back the small grin appearing on your face as Eric laughed. You rolled your eyes slightly before bringing them back to the dark-haired male sitting on the other side of the room.

“You know, if you just tell him how you feel then this whole little cat and mouse game will go much easier.” Eric whispered.

You shook your head. “Why would I set myself up for that type of embarrassment?”

He snorted. “Is it really embarrassing if he likes you back?”

It was your turn to snort as the teacher walked through the door. Eric gave you a little look before hopping up from the seat he was in and heading to sit with his best friend, preparing to give Sunwoo the same little “peptalk” he had given you.

“Alright students, I have the results of your previous exams. Some of you did very well, others, not so much. These will be representative on your final grades at the end of the year, so I suggest that the ones who didn’t do too well, start being perfect from here on out.” The teacher said as he handed out the scores to everyone.

A quiet scoff was heard from across the room and you smiled to yourself, knowing exactly who it was coming from.

“Is something wrong Mr. Kim?” The teacher asked, calling out Sunwoo.

All the attention turned to the cocky boy sitting by the door as he shook his head with a confident smile. “Not at all. Just thinking about how lucky I am.”

The teacher eyed him for a moment before nodding as he continued handing out the test scores. You got your paper as you looked over the typed out black font. The score you saw made you smile, you passed. Looking at the rank on the paper you noticed there was a score above yours. You knew exactly who it was. You looked over at his side of the room, seeing him staring right back at you.

“Good job.” He mouthed.

You smiled. “Thank you.”

He gave you a smile from across the room before feeling a tap on his shoulder. “Dear lord, just tell her how you feel?”

Sunwoo kept his eyes on you as he shook his head. “No way.”

“Why not?” Eric asked the boy.

Sunwoo turned himself around in his chair to look at his best friend. The blonde streaks in Eric’s hair catching Sunwoo’s eyes as he spoke.

“Eric, she doesn’t like me. She just sees me the same way the rest of the school sees me. A snobby rich kid who gets away with everything.” Sunwoo said with a sigh.

He heard Eric snicker as he narrowed his eyes. “What’s so funny?”

Eric shrugged. “I mean, isn’t that what you are?”

Sunwoo punched Eric’s arm as he let a smile fall on his face. “As my best friend, you’re not supposed to agree with the crowd.”

The teacher went on and on as he gave the class a lecture about your next assignment. When the bell rang to dismiss class, Sunwoo watched the numerous people that stopped by your desk to congratulate you on your score, or just to stop and talk to you. He admired that about you. He sometimes wished he didn’t have this awful snob attitude, but he knew that he made up that image himself, so he had to deal with it.

You headed towards the door before stopping in front of the two boys.

“So Sunwoo, how much did you pay the teacher so you could pass the exam?” You asked in a teasing tone.

Despite his clear knowledge that you were joking, Sunwoo knew that in the back of everyone else’s minds they were thinking the same statement in a more serious mindset.

“How much do you think?” Sunwoo teased back, causing you to laugh.

You threw your head back to let out that beautiful laugh that Sunwoo had absolutely fallen in love with throughout the years. He just thought it was the most amazing sound in the world.

“Hey, why don’t you join us for lunch?” Eric suddenly asked, making Sunwoo freeze.

Sunwoo turned to Eric, ready to punch him in the face before hearing your voice.

“I’d love to. That is if Sunwoo is okay with it?” You asked softly, feeling your heartbeat out of your chest as you awaited the answer.

The boy tore his gaze off of his best friend as he nodded immediately. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s perfect!”

Eric smirked at both of you as he pushed through the two of you towards the door. “I’ll meet you guys at lunch. I need to find someone first.”

He rushed out of the classroom as you turned to Sunwoo. You went to speak before someone beat you to it.

“Hey, can I talk to you?” You both heard someone say as Sunwoo’s head followed the voice.

A tall boy that was younger than you both said softly.

“Jisung, what’s up?” Sunwoo suddenly asked.

You stepped aside to let the two boys talk before being pulled away by a friend of yours. She walked with you to your locker before looking at you.

“I don’t get why you like him. He’s so rude.” She said.

You smiled to yourself as you laid your books inside the metal walls of your locker. “He’s not, though. Sunwoo is so sweet.”

Your friend sighed. “He paid the teacher so he could pass the exam.”

You shrugged. “To each his own.”

She snorted. “You have a weird taste in guys.

This caused you to laugh as you closed your locker. “You just have to get to know him better, that’s all.”

You both walked to the lunch room as you headed towards the table Eric was already seated at with a plate full of food in front of him. With him was another boy that you didn’t know as you looked around for Sunwoo. Eric waved you over before pulling you down into the seat next to him. This gave you a good look at the boy sitting across from you as he lifted his head, smiling.

“This is Bomin! Bomin this is my friend I was telling you about earlier.” Eric introduced the both of you.

Bomin nodded as he brought his dark eyes back to you, his lips stretching into a big grin.

“I’m Bomin. It’s nice to meet you.” He said in a deep, almost baritone voice as he reached across the table to shake your hand.

You smiled. “It’s nice to meet you too, Bomin.”

Eric took a little more time getting you and Bomin more acquainted as a mischievous smirk bloomed on his face when he saw Sunwoo walk through the door. It didn’t take long for Sunwoo to recognize the boy that was chatting you up as he sat down on the other side of Eric.

“Bomin, how have you been?” Sunwoo asked, rather curtly.

Bomin didn’t seem to notice the way in which his friend greeted him as he put his conversation on hold with you to reply.

“What’s up Sunwoo? Eric invited me for lunch. I wasn't too busy with school work so I thought I’d actually come to lunch for once.” Bomin said, making both Eric and you laugh.

Sunwoo watched the interaction between you two as Eric watched the boy bore holes into Bomin. This was exactly what Eric wanted.

“So, still focusing entirely on school?” Sunwoo asked, rather rudely.

Bomin smiled. “I am. Are you still bullying people to death with your wealth?”

Of course, Bomin was joking. This wasn’t an unusual statement that he would address Sunwoo with, but at this very moment, Sunwoo didn’t exactly appreciate it.

“Old habits die hard, I’m afraid.” Sunwoo whispered out, picking at the food in front of him.

The rest of the lunch was just Sunwoo watching Bomin flirt with you, and much to his heartache, you flirting back. It all came to a boiling point for Sunwoo.

“You know, Bomin, you’re sitting next to a top notch student.” Eric said, gathering everyone’s attention.

Bomin looked at you with a smile. “Really? Well I’m always looking to improve. Perhaps I should get your number?”

A shy smile grew on your face as you nodded before there was a slam on the table. Both you and Bomin jumped as the three of you watched Sunwoo storm off from the table.

You looked at Eric as he watched him. “What’s wrong with Sunwoo?”

Eric shrugged, continuing to eat as you narrowed your eyes at the boy.

“I hope everything is alright.” Bomin said softly.

You excused yourself from the table as you headed down the same path as Sunwoo. Getting to the front entrance of the school, you noticed Sunwoo sitting on the hood of his car. He was talking to himself as you made your way towards him.

“Eric told me you had grown out of that.” You said jokingly.

Sunwoo lifted his head as he eyed you. “No Bomin?”

You scrunched up your nose. “Did you want me to bring him?”

Sunwoo scoffed. “Not a chance.”

“Since when are you so unhappy about being around one of your best friends? To be honest, you didn’t seem all that thrilled that he joined us for lunch.” You pointed out.

Sunwoo shrugged. “Sometimes his presence can get a bit overwhelming.”

You smiled slightly as you could finally feel what Sunwoo was getting at.

“Are you jealous of Bomin?” You asked Sunwoo, taking a step closer to him to close the gap.

The tip of your feet were now about an inch from Sunwoo’s as he shook his head.

“Why would I be jealous of Bomin? I’ve got no reason to be. I’m rich. He isn’t. I’ve got more than he does.” Sunwoo said.

You nodded before hearing him speak again. “Maybe that’s why you like him. Because he isn’t like me.”

Not understanding what he was saying, you spoke up. “What do you mean?”

“You like Bomin. It’s obvious. He’s smart and kind. It makes sense. He’s everything I’m not.” Sunwoo said, picking at his fingers.

You shook your head. “No. Sunwoo, I don’t like Bomin. I’ll admit he’s a sweetheart, but he’s definitely not my type.”

Sunwoo lifted his head to look you in the eyes as he quietly whispered. “Then what is your type.”

This was it. The make or break moment that could change the course of your friendship forever.

“You are. You’re my type.” You breathed out.

“I, I am?” Sunwoo asked, standing up from the hood of his car.

You nodded. “Isn’t it obvious? I’ve liked you since the moment I laid eyes on you. I’m not going to lie, I kind of befriended Eric just to get closer to you. It was just an added bonus that he ended up becoming one of my closest friends.”

This caused Sunwoo to smile. “I thought I was being obvious as well.”

You looked at him confused as he spoke again. “I like you. A lot! Eric had been pushing me for months to tell you how I feel. I always thought you didn’t like me.”

“Eric had been telling me the same thing, but I always thought you didn’t like me.” You replied back.

Sunwoo reached for both of your hands, making your heart swell as he chuckled. “I guess us being rich doesn’t make us too smart, now does it?”

You giggled. “Not if we keep paying off our teachers.”

Sunwoo rolled his eyes at your teasing gesture as he pulled you into him, wrapping his arms tightly around you.

“You know I don’t actually pay my teachers off, right?” He asked seriously.

You looked at him. “Sunwoo, you know I don’t think that about you. I just like teasing you.”

Sunwoo pecked your forehead as he smiled. “So I guess we should probably go back in and tell Eric.”

You shook your head. “Not a chance. He’ll use that and hold it over our heads for the rest of our lives. Besides, we can always go back to your place or mine and just spend a bit more time together.”

As if knowing what you were getting at, Sunwoo pulled away from you to open the passenger side door. “Why go to my place when the backseat of my car is big enough.”

You pushed at his chest as you spoke. “Easy there, tiger. A date first would be better.”

Sunwoo snorted as he opened the driver’s side door. “Oh I’m sorry. Weren’t you the one suggesting it first?”

You gave him a shrug. “If you take me on a date now, and it goes well, maybe I’ll reward you. In the backseat of your car.”

Sunwoo smirked. “You got yourself a deal, babe.”

You both hopped into his car, leaving the school parking lot without realizing your shared best friend standing with a triumphant smile on his face. He definitely planned on teasing the two of you about this the next time he saw you.

tip of the tongue [youngtaek]

all i can say is unrequited love one-sided pining but is it really as one-sided as youngtaek thinks it is? ft. bomin and Also i really want to expand this out  because this was originally a wip that i polished into a standalone drabble but u see it could go Further is all i’m saying

-

"do you have any secrets you don't tell anyone else?"

bomin cuts in before youngtaek can answer.

"of course not," the younger boy scoffs, ignoring your pointed glare, "taekie hyung tells me everything."

"and how do you know that?"

bomin laughs. "have you ever known hyung to keep a secret?"

youngtaek watches the two of you bicker, a fond smile on his face.

it is true that youngtaek is not the type to keep secrets. but there are things that even bomin doesn't know, things that he has never dreamed of pestering youngtaek to tell him the answer to.

the first one is about the jacket that youngtaek did not actually lose.

youngtaek, however, is for once quite happy to allow bomin to continue assuming that he lost it (like many other less fortunate ex-possessions). the reason for this has something to do with the fact that it's somewhere buried deep in your closet after you and he both huddled beneath it in the broom closet during that big storm you were scared of.

and he'd told you to keep it as a reminder that you didn’t have to be scared of anything anymore, because he'd always be there to keep you safe. (he’s not sure if you remember that part, or the way you both clung to one another like a lifeline as the lightning streaked across the sky.) (he’s also not sure if he’d prefer you to remember that or not.)

the second one is. well. still about you.

he looks across the room at you, laughing loudly over something on the tv screen and throwing popcorn at bomin's head where it lands like clouds in an amber sky. 

he wonders if you have ever even remotely guessed at the truth - the song that plays nonstop in his mind whether he is with or without you. but there is a dark and ugly area in his heart that fears your reaction were you to ever find out.

and so today, he puts on an act and waits to be brave some other time.

“taek!” you call, shaking him from his reverie. “you coming?”

to which he nods and goes.

~

(he thinks, distantly and much later on after he has tucked you into bed, that there is no possible alternate reality in which you call out to him and he does not answer you.)

feedback is always greatly appreciated

dont talk - lee seungjoon // j-us (a) 🧩

as stray kids’ makeup stylist,  you’re very close to the boys, so when of course your ex shows up, they’re gonna make you talk to him even if they don’t know the back story.

you’re late - mizuguchi yuto (f) 

being stood up isn’t something that yuto did, but after 45 minutes maybe that’s what’s going to happen. he shows up 45 minutes late, the reservation is done, how is he going to make it up?

not jealous - kim hyojin (f, a little bit of a) 

hyojin has a study buddy even though he doesn’t even study with y/n. he’s tried to make y/n his girlfriend for a thousand years but nothing is going to make you change your mind.

whisper game - park minkyun (f)

dance with me - bong jaehyun (f)

dancing with jaehyun isn’t hard, well only when he starts nagging you about how you need to practice harder so that you guys can do a duo on stage on day together. there’s only one thing that makes you want to work harder.

run to me - choi sungyoon (f)

you and the twins got to be in the audience of golcha’s isac win for 60m and 400m relay. the twins always got babysat by the golden child boys so when they won, the twins congratulated the boys but not sungyoon.

my joochan - hong joochan (a,f)

fuckboy!gyehyeon always takes girls on classic dates, the restaurant, then back to his house. but the one time he begged you to go out with him, was the best date you had ever experienced.
