I feel like you can tell when u befriend Jon. Like he acts very calm and monotone, and when he likes u its like a switch flips and he's infodumping about the history of clocks and arthurian lore. Imagine being an assistant and your very cold, calculated boss starts telling you shrimp facts.

Crittertember Day 9: In Your AU
Excuse me as I shamelessly self indulge. Double induldge because I'm claiming this as a Crittertember Entry lmao. Day 9! "In Your AU"
This is a pretty loose AU. Pretty much everything I draw could be considered AU because what even is canon for the Smiling Critters? But I like to call this my "Critter Island" AU. (Or CritterCrossing) Simply because I headcanon that they live in a place called Critter Cove Isle. I basically treat it like a playground of ideas inspired by MLP, Animal Crossing and other stuff I like.
The OC is originally from This Post.
I wrote a short story about Kickin and my OC meeting for the first time. If you want then read below!
Self indulgent shipping stuff: First Meeting
It was a blistering summer day, and Sandy Paw Beach was packed with critters enjoying the sun, surf, and sand. Kickin Chicken was in his element, surrounded by his usual entourage of fans. His athletic prowess, smooth confidence, and laid-back attitude had made him a local celebrity. Today, he was out there impressing everyone with his latest trickâa complicated, gravity-defying flip off the side of the pier into the ocean.Â
âYo, Kickin, that was sick!â one of the critters cheered, clapping him on the back as he stepped out of the water, flipping his wet feathers in an effortlessly cool way.Â
âYe-hah, you nailed it, dude!â another chimed in, eyes wide with admiration.
Kickin smirked, shaking off the water and casually throwing on his sunglasses.Â
âEh, no biggie,â he said, trying to downplay it. âWhen I was born my mom thought I was a penguin, yâknow?â
His group of fans chuckled, hanging onto his every word. As they headed back toward the pier to grab some ice cream, one of the critters in the group glanced over at the lifeguard tower and scoffed.
âUgh, there she is again,â an otter critter named Mia muttered, nudging her friend. âThe weird lifeguard.â
Kickin raised an eyebrow, his attention pulled to where Mia was looking. At the lifeguard tower sat Jersey Shoals, a cow critter, her gaze steady as she surveyed the beach. She was calm and quiet, the wind playing with her short, ocean-swept hair as she sat atop the tower, her lifeguard vest loose around her shoulders.
âWhatâs weird about her?â Kickin asked, though his tone was still casual. He wasnât the type to get caught up in gossip, but something about the way Mia said it piqued his curiosity.
âSheâs, like, always so quiet and stares off into space,â Mia replied. âBarely talks to anyone, and when she does, itâs like... I dunno, she just acts kinda... different. People say sheâs, like, in her own world or something.â
âYeah,â another critter chimed in. âI heard sheâsâŚexcuse the language, a bit slow? Probably not all there, yâknow?â
Kickin shrugged, not particularly interested in the details. âWhatever,â he said, brushing it off as he strutted toward the ice cream stand. âSheâs just doing her job.â
But as they passed the tower, Kickin couldnât help but glance up at Jersey again. There was something different about her, but not in the way his beach pals had been suggesting. She seemed...focused. Like she was tuned into something deeper than the noise around her. She wasnât gawking at the athletes and body builders on the beach, wasn't trying to impress anyone. She just... was.
Suddenly, as if on cue, a loud shriek broke through the chatter of the beachgoers. Kickin turned his head in time to see a kid flailing in the water, caught by a rough current. The lifeguard towerâs alarm sounded, but Jersey was already in motion.
Without a secondâs hesitation, she leapt from the tower, her movements swift and precise. She sprinted toward the water, cutting through the crowd with ease, while the beachgoers began to panic. Kickin watched, caught off guard by the sudden change in pace.
Jersey hit the water with purpose, diving beneath the waves in a practiced motion. The kid had gone under for a moment, but she found him quickly, pulling him to the surface with a strength that surprised everyone watching. With measured, powerful strokes, she swam back to shore, cradling the terrified kid in her arms.
By the time she reached the beach, the crowd had gathered, buzzing with concern and admiration. Jersey laid the kid gently on the sand, checking him over as he coughed up water.Â
âYouâre okay, kiddo. Just breathe,â she said softly, her voice calm and steady.
The kidâs parents rushed over, thanking Jersey profusely, but she barely acknowledged the attention. Once the child was safe, she simply nodded and made her way back toward the tower, shaking off the water without a word, completely focused on her duties.
Kickinâs groupies watched the whole thing in stunned silence. Mia shifted uncomfortably, glancing at the ground as one of the others nudged her in the side. As if to say âAhem. You were saying?â
âWell... okay, that was pretty cool, I guess,â she muttered, clearly embarrassed by her earlier comment.
Kickin, however, was still staring at Jersey as she walked back to her post. His sunglasses were pushed up, and for the first time that day, he was speechless. That girl who they had called âweirdâ had just saved a life without a second thought. No showing off, no need for applause. Just action.
Something stirred in him. She was different, all rightâbut in a way that made him curious. She wasnât like the others around him, constantly seeking attention or validation. Jersey Shoals had her own rhythm, and that was something Kickin couldnât help but admire, even if he didnât understand it yet.
As Jersey reached the base of the tower, she glanced back, her gaze meeting Kickinâs for just a brief second. She didnât smile, didnât waveâjust a quiet, steady look that lingered for a moment before she turned away and climbed back up to her station.
Kickin blinked, realizing he had been staring. He quickly composed himself, his usual cocky grin returning. âAlright, yâall go ahead,â he said, waving off his friends. âIâll catch up in a minute.â
As they headed off toward the ice cream stand, Kickin lingered by the edge of the beach, his eyes drifting back toward the lifeguard tower. Maybe she wasnât weird. Maybe she was just different. And honestly that was something he found intriguing.Â
With one last glance at Jersey, he turned and jogged to catch up with his pals, but his mind kept wandering back to the girl on the tower, wondering about what made her tick.

Your First Meeting
It was a quiet night at the little supermarket, a few people here and there, mostly buying beer or midnight snacks. It was easier this way you figured, a calmer and smoother way to ingrain and digest the culture of regular everyday life without being thrust into the middle of lunch rush traffic, whether that be on the road or in the crosswalk. At first you questioned why they were so big, and now you know through experience. Itâs been about a year since you moved to Japan, scrounging up your money and moving away from your small apartment to move into⌠another small apartment. But this time, youâre on your own! No friends randomly popping in your house, no parents breathing down your neck about when youâre going to do this and that. It was freeing at first, until you actually moved here; the social norms and everyday things were so different from what you were used to. Not to mention the language, sure you studied hard and nailed the basics, but having to use it while absorbing new material was proving difficult.
You sighed and glanced at the small freezer section, looking for a particular brand of ice cream that youâve come to enjoy. Mumbling to yourself as you scan the flavor options you notice a man standing a couple feet from you. He looks⌠well he looks like he got hit by a bus if youâre being honest. Usually people look tired at this time of night but he looks like he hasnât slept for the past two weeks. Although thereâs something about him that seems interesting, almost⌠attractive. Was it his tired eyes? The scar underneath one? His cute nose? Or maybe how his lips turned in a slight pout? Or maybe⌠you were just tired yourself. You slid your eyes back to the freezer, looking for something to hold you over for the next week. Against your better judgement, you slide your eyes to look at him again, taking in his appearance again, until you notice that heâs standing right in front of your
Favorite.Â
Ice.Â
Cream.Â
Damn, forget about how that guy may or may not be your type, heâs blocking the way to your well deserved ice cream. Whatâs more important, your lust for hot disheveled dudes or the craving for sweet treats? Slowly his eyes move and meet yours and for some reason, instead of quickly looking away like a normal person, you keep eye contact, staring back at him. In your mind, youâre showing a great deal of strength and confidence, showing clearly that you need him to move out of the way for you to be able to receive your iced joy in a tub. In his mind⌠well, you probably look like a weirdo staring him down at 11:00 at night for no apparent reason. After a few moments, you realize how awkward and embarrassing this is, a hot blush creeping onto your face and making your ears red. You decide that youâll just ask him to move like you shouldâve done 15 seconds ago. In very broken Japanese you mumble,
âUh- um, koto ga deki⌠uhâŚâ The man turn his body to you and looks at you curiously before shaking his head slightly.Â
âI speak English, use it if thatâs easier.â He shrugs slightly and looks at you with a slight smile. You freeze, grateful he wasnât mean to you and knows English, but is your Japanese really that bad? On the other hand, his voice wasnât too bad. Low and a little gravelly, but not too much were it was annoying. You clear your throat and point to the ice cream in the freezer in front of him.
âI want that. Please, moveâŚ?â He slightly nods and steps back, allowing you to open the door and grab the pint. You back up and accidentally bump into his side. How tired were you? Careless mistake after mistake, youâre close to just passing out when you get home instead of the binge watching and ice cream eating marathon that youâd planned. He shuffles a step to the side awkwardly looking at you and then looking away.Â
âUm, Arigatoâ You mumble looking down at your ice cream, the purple packaging reading out âSubete shizen'na! All Natural!â He stares at you and nods his head, but he keeps looking at you like he wants to say something. After you take a step back to begin shuffling away from the mysterious handsome stranger, he clears his throat and starts to talk but fails again, causing you both to remain in an awkward stalemate. Both of you stare at the floor, or at each others clothes, to avoid the awkwardness of looking at the otherâs face. Eventually he speaks.
âYou like cats?â You blink, confused. He points to your bag, you look to find a cat charm you picked up at an arcade a few months ago.
âOh, yeah. Theyâre pretty cute.â You look at him, and smile a little while talking, and he hides a little bit of his face into his scarf. A weird fashion choice but okay, youâre not any better at the moment. You watch as he pulls something out of his pocket, a cat charm, similar to yours but of a different breed, a fluffy Maine coon. Youâre eyes widen a bit and your smile grows, his seems to as well.
âHowâd you find that one? I donât remember seeing it at all when I played at the arcade.â You mutter looking over the charm, he places it in your hand to your confusion and smirks a little, then he starts to walk off down the aisle. You stand there a little stunned for a second or two before speed walking down to gently take his hand.
âWait.â You whisper before taking your charm off your bag, âhave this one, then.â Taking his hand, you slide the cat charm onto it. Itâs a sleepy black cat, it suits him if youâre honest. You smile up at him and he gives a soft grin down to you.
âIâll find a different one to give you next time.â He murmurs, and you nod, promising yourself to go back to the arcade the moment you get a chance. You bow before walking back up the aisle towards the register, and he steps out of the store, his phone ringing.
âYare Yare.â He sighs before using his capture weapon to leap on top of the building and to the villain in the next town.

anyway i am thinking about Hunter really really leaning into his role as the oldest kid in his baby sister*'s weird little gang and being sort of pathetic about it
(*Luz tries to bite him every time he calls her that but he is secretly very sappy about the sound of it)
at first he's soooo awkward and nervous and comparatively gangly and does not know how to Behave but he's doing his best sort of muddling through it all. the gang can't figure out if their hang outs stress him out more than give him a positive social experience, but just have to trust him that he does enjoy their company
he braves into vulnerability ones and asks "so, uhm... would Ed and Em be good people to ask about, uh- sibling things??", and Luz and Amity reply "no" in unison, so he talks to Viney instead. she's like, "okay dude, this feels sort of too utilitarian for a friendly chat, but sure, if that's what you need". they get boba tea and lean on fences awkwardly as Viney tells about keeping her sister safe like making sure she doesn't fall down acid puddles, and Hunter's like, "do you need to watch them for stuff like that??" and Viney says "uh, duh, she's like, five", and Hunter has to realize the sibling experience is not unviersal. they still get more boba sometimes tho
he does end up asking the twins for advice out of desperation, and their verison is, "your sacred duty as an older sibling is keeping your lil sis and her dork friends out of trouble when you can, but making sure parents never know what they get up to, or you'll be getting them into trouble instead". Hunter's a fucked up little boy so he does not have a good enough understanding of what "trouble" would look like (Ed and Em's perspective is quite skewed too tbf), so the next time the gang like, sneak some knock-off snacks that make you puke fire onto their sleepovers when explicitly told to "not burn the house down" (a truly unfortunate use of the hyperbolic sentiment), Hunter spends the entire time incredibly stressed. at the end what gives them all away is his own fearful fretting, and Eda patiently explains to him in private that the way he was treated was not fair to him, that she would never subject him or anyone else to anything of the sort, and that the main form of reprecussion in the Bad Girl Coven is not getting to choose what ice cream flavours get included into the monthly treat haul shopping list. how kids make stupid choices, and a good chunk of them are the kind of stupid she enables, and anything else should mostly be handled via a calm and transparent conversation about personal safety. he has a lot of feelings about that
if they ever go to the human realm for an extended stay Hunter does his best to get a driver's license to drive everyone to the mall and stuff. i don't think it necessarily goes well but he tries his darnest. he ends up being the older friend others send off the get tickets to a gorey horror movie and he is incredibly confused about why HE is the one who has to do that, until it all clicks while he's already at the counter. so then he gets so so nervous the cashier actually asks for his id to make sure he himself is sixteen already. he doesn't really, have one??? he tries to identify himself as "the golden guard" and the person is like "yeaah, idk what that means. whatever tho here you go"
he basically volunteers as a near-constant chaperone and Camila is skeptical at first but accepts. she seems pretty serious about it so Hunter becomes slightly more aware of the dangers the Demon realm actually presents, and gets nervous about disappointing her. there is about a week or two where he seems pretty on edge but things remain their normal type of weird and everyone is still pretty good at taking care of each other, and he is very happy to be a part of that, but also very ready to be the one taking responsibility if anything serious does go down
i think he's very fascinated with and confused by this new form of responsibility: it coming from his heart, rather than something imposed on him. it's concerning the well-being and safety of people he actually cares about, who do their best to uplift and protect each other and himself, whom he is so ready to protect with all he has. if anything genuinely bad happened to them while Hunter was around he would probably feel extremely guilty (and they would all be there to comfort that). but at the end of the day it's that, no one is forcing a responsibility that he is not ready for onto him. he feels responsible because he cares, and because he believes he has the knowledge and skills to help keep his younger (and less, child soldier-trained,) friends safe. and no authority figure would actually punish him if he ever felt like he "failed" to do so; they'd be just as equally concerned with his well-being and safety
all that said, if something explodes during glyph experiments and the room is fully covered with a thick layer of green goo, it's a race between him and Luz to who can pin the blame on the other first
i really like the idea of Hunter watching these younger kids quietly, in more and more awe. he genuinely thinks they're amazing. there is so much to them, so much vibrancy and talent and vision, and there is so much honesty in their friendship with each other. he feels like he's learning a lot from being around them, about his friends, about friendships, about himself
once he mellows out a little bit from being a jittery wrangle of nerves, he is snarkier and snappier, trying desperately to get that cool older brother vibe going; but when it really comes down to it, he is their BIGGEST hype man around. he notices Gus getting quiet and prompts him to share in confidence, and it's tricky because for Gus, it's the very isolation from his peer group that makes him feel inadequate sometimes. talking about it to yet another older kid is a challenge because some part of him feels desperate to not acknowledge their age difference, to "fit in". but Hunter is so so understanding, because - hey, it's so lonely to be a severly traumatized teen. you don't necessarily have the same experience as any other of your peers - you've had to deal with shit they never even had to imagine going through. but searching for understanding from people older than him is not necessarily helpful, either. it's like he's living out an entirely different version of teenhood that only a person with a similar experience would be able to connect to
and Gus gets that so much. they can't give each other intimate understanding of what their respective experiences feel like - but they find solidarity in their weird isolation, and encourage each other to still enjoy other people's company, even if they can't quite understand them, cause, hey - they care about each other a lot. would be a bummer if they let their different histories keep them from nerding out at the library or mauling each other at flyer derby training (everything is fair game on the field and sometimes violence is a bonding experience)
Willow's been putting so much work into building a social life she is happy with, becoming more and more confident, feeling more and more celebrated; she's so much more involved with other students' lives and hobbies now! but it's hard to not get down on herself when things don't seem to work out, and her bullies are much less prominent now, but they're still around, and she spent so much time so deeply lonely that the feeling just, comes back sometimes. and Hunter is dumbfounded because she is genuinely one of the coolest people he's ever met. he sees how far she's come since she was lonely, isolated, rejected on the grounds of her perceived inadequacy, and he is bewildered by the fact that the rejection ever happened at all. Willow is a freaking star! that, of course, makes him have Feelings about whether he ever deserved his rejection in turn. they're a lot to process and he takes his time doing that. but he doesn't hesitate even for a second before showering Willow in all the validation in the world and acting out all of her greatest flyer derby feats in great detail with dramatic explosion sounds (Willow snorts as she reminds him nothing actually blew up but he ignores her). he gives her impromptu piggy back rides to shake her up while shouting Emerald Entrails cheers and it is incredibly embarrassing
there is obviously a lot of room for relatability for him and Amity, and it's more her inviting him in on the solidairty she and the twins already share. Hunter's been alone in this for so long, they want to give him space to express it all without necessarily unloading to much onto him. sometimes, though, Amity still needs someone outside of her family to be traumatized around. Ed and Em always had each other, and their relationship with their parents is different from Amity's in many ways; and even if things have been better lately, there were still many times their shared abuse made them and Amity act toward each other in ways that were hurtful
Hunter understands that; understands how a toxic environment makes it so much more difficult to be better to each other. he's seen it way too many times. he wants Amity to know she is safe to express and share that here, that she can hurt, that she can be horrified at the implications of tattling on the twins to their parents - without knowing for sure how severe of a punishment their mother would come up with. to feel awful about the way she treated Willow for years, and Luz for months. (weeks???? however long it was.) and he also wants to learn from her, because she's so grown from that so, so much. he wants to support her, to watch her grow into healthier and healthier bonds, a more and more secure image of herself - and he wants to understand what makes her current relationships so good, so solid, so mature and communicative
it's so easy to imagine him and Luz bonding over their shared passions, and... so difficult to imagine them relating emotinally fgdhjs, to me personally at least. it's the siblinghood of it all. their form of emotional support is elbowing each other and calling the other person "egghead" whenever one of them gets bummed out before showing them a funny pensta post. Hunter does worry about not being able to be there for Luz in all the way she might need him to be, and it's not like many people can understand what she's going through. she is learning to be more and more open with her friends, though, and Eda is in on most of her life events either way, and he feels pretty safe leaving his sister in the hands of a more experienced and very freaking cool adult. he's still on the lookout for low moods and always ready to cheer her up however he can. on a rare occassion, he'd offer her emotional honesty, too, but Luz is like, "respectfully, you have no emotional intelligence whatsoever, and also, ew, gross /aff"
anyway!!! i just!!! am so invested into him caring deeply for all these other younger kids and wanting desperately to be a good presence and influence in their lives; but he does not quite know what sort of Guidance he can give them, and that's sort of embarrassing at times; but also, his unrelenting care and adoration towards all of them and his readiness to relate to them and encourage them, showing them how amazing they are at working with their circumstance, how much he sees in them from his place in life and personal experience, is so so meaningful and good for all of them. also: stupid shenanigans

The Birthday Fic
Several months in the making. Started around Ruggieâs birthday (Which is why heâs the opener) completed long past my own birthday.
Content warning for coarse language, sexuality, mentions of illness and the medication needed for managing it, and getting wildly horny to a point that even I was impressed with myself.
As always, thereâs more in my Twisted Wonderland Fanfiction tag, send me a message if you liked it! (I know what the birthday gifts were from most everyone, even if not mentioned in-fic.)
~*~*~*~
"I'm sorry dude, what did you say? You ears started going and I just tuned the fuck out."
"I said, 'when's it your turn to have the school-run birthday party?' It's got it be soon." Ruggie's intentionally twitching his damn ears, has to be, and you had to physically shield your eyes to be able to answer properly.
"I don't fucking know, man, I need to have a birthday for that."
"Everyone has a birthday."
"Yeah, but I don't know when mine is."
"Can't Crowley tell you? He's got all kind of magic."
You sighed. "He tried that, so I could remember my proper name. He can't even get a year fix."
"That fucking sucks, Yuu." Ruggie passed you a pop can before cracking open one himself. "You should get one of these, too."
"Ah, maybe Riddle will take pity and dedicate me a specific Unbirthday party." What was this, melon? Not bad.
"That's not the same because you won't get loot."
"Yeah, you wanna go through fifty boxes of chocolates to get rid of all the ones with potion-of-suck-your-dick? I'm good."
He scrunched his nose in disgust. "People still trying love spells on you?"
"Not as much, but I still get Mal to check them over for me. He's good about that."
"He just doesn't want to share."
"Shush."
"It's true!" He stopped for a moment. "Does he know you don't have a birthday?"
"He hasn't realized yet and you're not going to tell him."
~*~*~*~
"Yuu?"
"Trey?" You blinked up at him. You didn't talk as much as you'd like to, mostly because every time he showed up your mouth rapidly filled with whatever treat he'd just made.
"What do you like best for cake?"
"I will literally eat anything that you put in front of me if you make it, even if it's full of shit I hate."
He raised an eyebrow. "Okay, new angle. What don't you like?"
Oh boy, he better prepare himself. "Fondant tastes gross, modeling chocolate is white chocolate so I hate it, a cake should be cake and not mostly fucking icing and rice crispy treats, most icing's too heavy for me if it's not whipped cream- why are you writing this down."
He looked up from his notebook, blinking at you with his pleasing yellow eyes. "Because you always give thoughtful feedback to my baking and I want to make you something as a thank you."
"Oh. If that's it, I'd rather have cheesecake."
~*~*~*~
"Mon Trickster~"
"Rook, I'm trying to re-" You yelped as he squeezed your waist, and you swatted at him. "Fuck's gotten into you?"
"What, I cannot play with my sweet friend?" He'd dragged you from your seat in the library, and was now doing his damndest to twirl you around without ramming you through the tables.
"Not right now! I expect this shit from Floyd, not you." He's going to get you both kicked out of the library if he doesn't smarten up.
"Our dearest Malfeasant is playing with the Rose King right now. Besides, he lacks my talents." He stretched your arms out straight before twirling you around, your back pressed to his front.
"Is that getting away with being a shithead?" you ask as you pap the side of his face, too little force to be a slap but with a similar message of 'stop'.
"Amongst much else, my dear!" He managed to dip you low, bracing one of your legs in the air, and you wiggled out of his grasp with a thump to the floor.
"Ah, what an invitation, ma belle! But alas, I cannot. It could never be. I'll see you at lunch." And he left you there, baffled, on the floor.
You wound up getting kicked out of the library after you started shrieking in rage and kicking like a damned toddler. What the fuck was that about?
~*~*~*~
"People are being weird."
"Everyone's weird around you." If Idia's combo kept, this would be a perfect match. "You encourage it in people with your presence. It's a passive AOE. No fighting against it."
"More than normal."
"It's the curse of spring. If you aren't sneezing, you see pretty girls and get stupid." He got his perfect match, and went back to the lobby. "Even I'm not immune to simp fever and spring flowers."
"You sure? You only go outside so you don't die of Vitamin D deficiency."
He pouted at you. "Girlfriends are supposed to be nice to you, you know."
"If I stopped, you'd wonder what's wrong. Anyway, then you couldn't brag to your followers about a tsundere girlfriend."
"You're not even a tsundere! You genuinely like me even when you're mean." He leaned back and stared at the ceiling. "You're maybe sadodere."
"What's that one?"
"Sadistic yet affectionate."
You opened your mouth but genuinely couldn't argue. He was too fucking cute not to be mean to! What can you say? That pwease-no-buwwy aura he got when distressed was just too much.
"Yeah." He paused, a small smile creeping across his face. "Yuu."
"Yeah?"
"You really like stripes, don't you?"
You looked down, at his blue striped shirt you were wearing. It honestly fit you better than it did him. Further down was pinstriped socks, and if you remembered, the underwear had stripes too.
"What do you think."
~*~*~*~
"Mal?" "Yes?" "Why do you have all this even if you don't wear any of it?" "I do wear earrings now, thanks to you." He dropped another oversized ring onto your finger. "The rest, I simply don't bother with unless I must appear in an official capacity."
"So I'm a special occasion?"
He smiled at you, sweet and genuine. "Always."
"Then why am I your jewelry rack today?" So many necklaces. So many rings. There'd be a crown on your head, too, if the crowns for Draconias weren't essentially elabourate chains hanging off the horns.
"Perhaps I enjoy seeing you wearing my things. You wear Shroud's all the time." He was slowly going through a box of rings, trading them on and off your fingers after puzzling over them.
"Your clothes are tailored, and I'm too big around." You thought for a moment. "So, Mal."
"Yes?"
"Are you planning on something you aren't telling me?"
He blanched and immediately went shift eyed. "Of course not."
You took a breath. "I'm gonna say no."
"Yuu-"
"I'm pretty sure your grandmother would eat me alive if I said yes."
"No!" He made a shushing guesture. "I... am planning something. But not a proposal, my goodness, that would be too much pressure for you and would splinter the kingdom." He sighed. "Even if I would like it."
"I know you would. What are you planning."
"No."
"Yes, tell me."
"It's a surprise. You'll get it at some point in the future."
You thought back to some of the stranger events of the past few weeks. "... is it a birthday party, Malleus."
"Nnnnnnoooooooooooooo?" His face was a desperate, wide-eyed mask of please-believe-me.
"Yes it is."
"I didn't say that."
"You might as well have!"
"It's not." He wasn't even facing you anymore, knowing his face would betray him.
You took a deep breath.Â
"I can keep pretending I don't know. I mean, if you want to throw a surprise party, I can't really stop you. And anyway," you added, "If I don't have a set birthday, there's no way I can know exactly when it's coming."
He relaxed, slightly.
"Don't get me a ring, though."
He chuckled. "That does have implications, doesn't it."
"Don't it, though?"
"I was checking what colours were most flattering for you." He finally turned around, all warm smiles. "I should have known. They all look lovely, because you're the one wearing them."
"Stop." You could feel you cheeks reddening. "If it helps, gold doesn't make my ears act up."
~*~*~*~
When you walked to your dorm one warm day, after school, you simply could not see the building for the brambles grown up since you left this morning.
"Yuu?"
"Grim?"
He squinted at you, unimpressed. "Your prince boyfriend has lost his fucking mind. Why'd he do this?"
"I think I know." You looked in amongst the branches, which held no roses, but something better. You plucked off a blackberry and held it to your little shoulder monster.
"Ew, no. I want tuna."
"Suit yourself." There was a path, and if you got on tiptoes, a tent half-hidden behind the briar. "You ready for a party, Grim?"
"What? What party?"
You shifted him from your shoulder to your hip as you walked along, careful of your sore arm. "They decided I needed a surprise party because I don't have an actual birthday. Figured it out like two... three? weeks ago."
"Why didn't you tell me?" He stopped, looked away, and bristled. "Why didn't they tell me?!?"
"Because you can't keep a fucking secret?"
He yelled and scrambled to the ground. "Hey assholes why didn't you tell me I better be getting presents too-" He's already out of sight, and you can't stop laughing at him. It's better like this, when he's himself.
~*~*~*~
Why is Everyone here. There's a huge stack of presents, there's a buffet table, there's chairs, there's -Â
"Shrimpie's here!" And then everyone converged with enough words that it was just a wall of sound; mystery hands leading you to a chair, someone was trying to stick a hat on you -
"Wait!"
People only stepped off and quieted because your voice cracked. Idia, hiding in a corner, managed to raise sympathetic eyebrows before whispering something into Azul's ear.
"I gotta go inside for like, five minutes, I'll be right back." And off you went.
~*~*~*~
"You don't seem the type to do drugs."
You looked up and laughed. "Well, Vil, I gotta get through the day somehow." You shook out two pills and poured a glass of water.
"What are they for?" He leaned against the doorway, as though it wouldn't cover his clothes with splinters and dust.
"These," you said as you pointed to the two in your hands "are anti-nausea. They're new."
"How many of those do you take?" He nodded towards the other bottles on the counter. âI didnât see them during training.â
"Well," you said, as you started to number them off on your fingers. "I started the first ones after Eliza, to help stabilize my organs, the second ones were immunity-boosting after my pneumonia, I started taking vitamins after that as well, I got sleeping pills for nightmares after Jamil blotted - they don't always work, but hey - and, well." You shook your current bottle. "Your curse vapours are pretty good, it turns out."
He blanched, and you backpedaled. "You weren't yourself, and I only have to take these before meals now. I had to get IVs in the morning for a few days, I couldn't keep... wait, wait, shit, no, I'm sorry, don't make that face -"
Vil crossed the distance, putting his face very close to yours. "You should have told me."
"Why make you feel even worse, man?"
"Because I could have formulated something better for the damage." He flicked your nose, more exasperation than malice. "Cures and poison go hand in hand. I can't fix what was done if I don't know."
"Taking care of my medical woes is not your job, Vil."
"You don't get to tell me what is and isn't my job." He squeezed you close with one arm. "You're just an exhausting little potato."
"I'm a delicious little sweet potato that you can't resist."
He sighed, exhausted. "Yes you are. Now take your pills and stop with secrets."
~*~*~*~
"What kept you?"
"Had to make sure there's room in the fridge for all your food, Trey." He hadn't chosen one cheesecake - he had at least two dozen varieties of bite sized miniatures, labeled by flavour and potential allergens. "You were busy."
"Well, I felt like experimenting. I hope you don't mind."
"You're the one doing me a favour." You looked around, everyone chatting idly with one another. "Where's Mal."
"..."
"I swear to fucking god if he didn't get an invitation to the party he helped organize-"
~*~*~*~
It turns out he'd left to fetch an obnoxiously large bouquet of flowers, the scent so overpowering you thought your chair might tip from the force of it.
"You do enjoy them?" Mal was so cute when unsure.
"Yes, dear." As long as people didn't crowd in again. Lately, you can only take so much sensation before your brain shorts out and you start yelling. "Set them on the table, I'll have to start on them later." Hairspray and an arid room would have those dried within the week.
"Which part of the celebration will we start with first?"
"I don't know. It's my party but you're the ones throwing it. Where's Grim?"
He pointed over to one of the set up tables, where Grim sat in a pile of wrapping paper, furiously kick-scratching at a wriggling toy fish as big as he was, while Cater filmed. "We realized a few days ago he'd be unhappy if he didn't get his own presents."
"Aww. Is there catnip in that?"
He leaned in conspiratorially. "We're not supposed to have any on campus because Kingscholar is susceptible to it."
You went right past normal laughter straight to wheezing.
~*~*~*~
So far, the highlights were: A mycological photobook from Jade big enough to crush someone's head with (that he cheerfully wrote as such on the inside flap), an enormous multipack of slipper socks from Ruggie (with a note saying it was a return on the doughnut-patterened ones you'd given him for his own birthday) and a parure set from Floyd, crafted from thousands of woven seed pearls with carved coral feature beads that was frankly obscene in the amount of money it must have cost. (He, of course, said it was worth it as long as you wore it for him, and simply laughed when you quipped that he meant with clothing right?)
The rest was fantastic, still - various books and movies, a pretty glass vase from Ace stuffed with wildflowers, fine silk dresses from Kalim and a simple belled bracelet tucked in, from Jamil. Currently, you were opening a basket from Vil.
"Oh, wow," you meant with sincerety as you pulled out a light, fragrant soap. "You make this yourself?"
"Yes. There's soaps, shampoo, conditioner, perfumes, lotions..."
You smiled at him sweetly. "You saying I stink, Shoenheit?"
He mirrored your smile right back at you. "Be sure to use them."
"... I'm going to kill you," you said, laughing, as you lobbed the wrapping paper at his face.
~*~*~*~
"Az?"
"Mm?" He was watching with amusement as you looked the jacket over, a lovingly tailored frock coat in periwinkle wool and shell toggles.
"Are you sure this'll fit?"
"Of course." He guestured down the table to Rook, who waved. "He checked your measurements."
"When did-" Ohhhhhh. Oh. Alright. "I'm surprised he couldn't tell by just looking."
"I could, mon ange! But that was more fun!"
~*~*~*~
Malleus barely hid his pout when sliding his box over to you, and it didn't take you long to guess why. "Floyd's jewels really show yours up, huh."
"Perhaps," he said, pointedly not looking at the boy currently playing with Grim.
"Yours are more special because they're from you." When unwrapped, the box was stunning; carved walnut with shell inlaid curlicues. "My god, how old is this?"
"Older than I am," he said with a smile.
"How old is that, Mal."
He just kept smiling, and you rolled your eyes and opened the box to reveal a piece far, far different than the frothy confection Floyd gave you. A single, sizable brooch of gilt and enamel, a tiny faerie woman staring up at you with imperious emerald eyes, she was so lovingly crafted you could see the tension of her muscles and the hair between her legs.
"This piece is only a hundred and fifty years old," he said mildly. "The artist lives in the Valley of Thorns, and created it in the image of her lover." His smile was fond, and sweet. "They're still together to this day. Even if we may not last so long, I hope that it can be as strong."
The sentiment was enough to make you tear up.
~*~*~*~
Several tissues and a bat-shaped blanket from Lilia later, Idia pulled out a large box. And another, and another.
"Uh, Idia."
He just turned red as he stacked another box.
"Dude, holy fuck. What did you do?"
"Looked at your wishlist on your shopping websites." He's flickering pink at the tips of his hair. "Couldn't decide."
"I told him to just get them all!" Ortho looked wildly proud of himself. "Some of them are from me."
You blinked several times. "I thought the sites broke." You started feeling faint. "Idia."
"Yes?" He finally brought out one last box, easily two thirds your height, and set it in front of you.
"Some of those dolls were... so much madol."
He was shifty-eyed. "Yeah."
"Some of the outfits were themselves more than some of the dolls on those wishlists."
Despite the redness, his face was still. "Yeah."
"Oh my god." You're already sitting down, but you need to lie down. "That's too much money."
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"Why do you have so much money one of those sites alone was at least a million madol's worth of-"
"Please just open the boxes," he said in a strained voice. "I don't want them all staring."
You take your shaking hands to start unwrapping, mentally trying to figure out which rooms in the building were sound enough to hold obscene amounts of porcelain, resin and plastic. By the time you were done, there were over forty of varying shapes and sizes with complete wardrobes for each; the last not even on any list - that was an art piece near as tall as you, a fine bone china girl with golden curls and knowing eyes from an artist whose work did not go for less than five million madol even firsthand. Your vision greyed at the sight of her, and when you came to your senses, everyone breathed a sigh of relief before spending the rest of the evening treating you as something at least as delicate and precious as her.
~*~*~*~
It's just past sunset, and guests are still milling about. You're not really looking at them, though - you're losing your little friend.
Grim's only himself in daylight, now. Once the night hits, he goes back to the strange, feral thing that laid your wrist open to eat a chunk of solid ink. He's gone twitchy, wordless, pacing with his now headless robot fish in his mouth, before finally tearing through the brambles to god-knows-where.
"... I don't know what to do about it. He doesn't come back at night anymore. What if he doesn't come back at all one night?"
"I won't let that happen." Idia was draped over the back of your chair, idly playing with the wrapping on your wrist. You couldn't see his face, but a curious tension was clear in his voice. "How many of those crystals has he eaten?"
"All of them, as far as I know." There may have been one on the camping trip that you were mercifully excluded from; thankfully your restraining order against Vargas meant that Grimm had been allowed to attend by himself. Good thing, too, your period had arrived weeks early. "Do you think it's like mercury poisoning? The effects get worse as more collects in his body?"
"Maybe. It's something to look into."
You snorted, lightly. "What do you know about it?"
"... Less than I'd like." Before you could ask, he leaned down to your ear to whisper, "I'd rather know you."
"What, now?" You looked around at the tables. "There's still people here-"
You barely stifled a cry when he nipped at your earlobe. "I put on something nice for you~" You could hear the smirk in his voice as he played every trick in his book to goad you. "Unwrap me and see~"
It took every ounce of self control in you to not throw him down on the table and take him right there, in front of God and every student in the school.
~*~*~*~
"I'm too late, I see."
"Close that damned door before everyone hears."
Malleus obediently shut the door to the balcony before setting his slotted pillow on the dresser. "They couldn't even if they had their ear to the door, I soundproofed all our rooms months ago."
"Aren't you clever. Did they buy the excuse?"
"I think that they would have believed that you were going to bed if you did not say it as soon as Shroud went inside looking very proud of himself."
You flopped back onto your pillows, eliciting a sleepy grunt from Idia. "Shit."
"And if you didn't trip on the stairs in your haste."
"Now you're making fun of me."
"Perhaps," he smiled, sitting at the foot of your bed and idly stroking your leg.
"So, why didn't you tail up after us?"
"I am, if I try very hard, capable of some discretion, even when it comes to you," he huffed. "And anyway, someone had to see everyone off, get everything put away, and bring the gifts inside."
Your face fell. "I'm sorry-"
He crept up to put a finger to your lips. "It was very simple. Now," he pressed himself against you and turned to look at Idia's drowsing form, "what is this?"
You snickered lightly to yourself. "I think he found my browsing history." All you'd left on him was a fine pair of silk stockings, with delicate stripes from thigh to toe. You'd never thought he'd even consider wearing something like that, but your pretty blue boy was so full of surprises.
Malleus hummed to himself as he reached out a hand, dragging a finger along one bruised hip. Idia only sighed and fluttered his lashes, and Mal let out a stuttering gasp.
"Do you think," he whispered, voice hoarse, "that if I took these off with my teeth, that he would still stay asleep?"
You felt faint at the thought. "I don't know, but let me watch you try."
~*~*~*~
You awoke, later, to Idia sitting with the blankets pooled around his waist, five of his blue screens open. You couldn't make much sense of them, too sleepy to make out the letters on their obnoxious brightness, so you reached out both hands to squeeze his waist.
He yelped and scowled at you. "Go to sleep."
"No, you." The screens weren't making any more sense, but there was, briefly, a picture of Grim. "What are you working on?"
"I'm almost done," he said, which was not an answer but you were too tired to notice, so you reached up his back to wind a few locks of hair around your hand - and pulled, which lead to another annoyed yelp as he quickly saved and closed his work. "Just say you're weak to light attacks instead of doing that."
"You know I am." When he finally laid back down beside you, you put your face to his chest, as much to block out the light from his hair as for warmth and comfort. No wonder he slept so poorly, he literally gave off blue light every hour of the day, that only dimmed once he was already asleep. "Tell me about it later, okay?"
"Later," he said, and you drifted off between your two boys, which was almost as nice as sleeping with Grim in your bed, but this would have to do until he got better.

Ateez Reaction to their s/o calling them when theyâre in danger (hyung line)
TW: Sensitive content and mentions of abuse
Word Count: 2.5k
Mature Language*
Hongjoong: (peeping tom)
You and Hongjoong have been dating for a while now, with his busy schedule he tries to make as much time for you as possible, however youâre left home alone for majority of the day, especially during comeback time.Â
Today, your boyfriend and the rest of Ateez were recording their new song at were all at the KQ building, a good 30 minutes away from your apartment. He wouldnât be back for another 2-3 hours so you decided to take a shower and treat yourself.
Halfway through your shower, you heard noises. Thinking it was just your brain being paranoid about being home alone you decided to leave it and continue showering. Another 5 minutes later you hear shuffling outside and the noise of clicking. This time, being a little more cautious you decided to stop the shower to better hear the noise. After a few seconds you heard the noise again and decided to go outside into your shared bedroom.Â
The second you did, you briefly caught a glimpse of someone standing outside your window with a camera, through the mirror in your room. Acting as if you hadnât seen anything, you took your phone into the bathroom and locked it, trying to act as cool as you could. The second the door closed behind you, you dialed hongjoong.Â
[âHongjoong, how much longerâ] you whisper yelled voice cracking at the end
[âWoah, hey Y/n, whatâs up?] you were greeted by your boyfriendâs, bandmate, Wooyoungâs voice
[Can you give the phone to Hongjoong please]
[Y/n, heâs recording right now, is everything alright]
[Please just give him the phone]
[Alright Iâm putting it on speaker] Wooyoung said and you heard some shuffling in the background
[Hey hun, whats wrong, is everything alright] you were greeted by your boyfriendâs sweet voice.
[Hongjoong, Iâm stuck in the bathroom with nothing but a towel and thereâs someone outside our window taking pictures of me!] You whisper yelled, voice cracking at the end of you sentence, not because you were sad, but because you were scared and frustrated of the situation you were in.Â
You heard a few gasps from the rest of the members and a âwhat the fuck?â, presumably from Seonghwa.
[Okay, babe, stay where you are, weâll come get you] You heard Hongjoong say, after which he hung up.
You tied up your hair and turned on the shower again to cover any noise you were making. Soon you heard shuffling outside and footsteps coming closer to the bathroom wall.Â
After a while the footsteps stopped and you heard banging on the bathroom wall from the outside of the house.
âCome out, honey, unless you want these pictures to be spread all over the internetâ You heard a sinister voice call out from outside.
At this point you were done, you hid your face in your knees and sobbed, your life would be ruined if those photos got out.
âLeave me alone!â you yelled back
Soon you heard more shuffling outside and grunting. You then heard the familiar voice of one of your boyfriendâs bandmates, Mingi.
âWhat the fuck is wrong with you, creep!? You heard him yell.
Feeling a little more relieved you simply sat and waited until either the police or someone came to get you. In a few minutes, you heard light knocking on the door and you violently flinched. Slowly and carefully opening the door, you were engulfed by the sweet smell and warm embrace of your boyfriend Hongjoong, not caring whether he got wet. Tears of relief started pouring out your eyes and you collapsed into him.
âHey, youâre okay nowâ He whispered to you, warm breath against your face. âI wonât ever let something like that happen ever againâ you heard him whisper into your hair.Â
Seonghwa: (creep at night)
You and Seonghwa were a funny couple, showing love to eachother with your constant teasing and nicknames. Recently, he pranked you by banging on the window and knocking on the door when you were home alone. It was safe to say, you were quite spooked. You forgave him quickly and it was forgotten. Today, you had gone out to get some ramen from the supermarket and were on your way back home. It was quite late at night, and Seonghwa was at home sleeping. You wanted to surprise him with some ramen, and so here you were. It started off quite normally, you were used to going out late at night, loving the breeze and the silent streets.Â
About halfway home, you saw a hooded man walking across the street from you. It didnât seem to out of the ordinary, except the fact that he was wearing all black and had a black mask and hat on. You started walking a little faster just to be safe. You noticed that the man started walking a little faster too, and so you decided to start jogging lightly, wanting to get home as soon as possible. The man, this time, crossed the street and was right behind you. Fearing for your life you decided to full on run as fast as you could. The man started chasing after you, and you had no option but to try and take abnormal turns while running to try to lose him. You soon ran around a corner into an alley and took the opportunity to call Seonghwa.
[Seonghwa!] You practically yelled, once he picked the phone up after a few rings
[Y/N, where on earth are you, itâs like 9pm, what are you doing] You heard his husky voice, suggesting he just got up
[Babe, I donât know where I am but this dude is chasing after me and he keeps grunting and growling at me, I donât know what to do, please help!]
[Babe, What?!] he yelled through the phone
[Send me your location and Iâll come pick you up]
[What if he has a knife, you cant come here] you tried reasoning
[I donât care! now send me your location and donât hang up!]
You were relieved that he was coming to get you, but were still scared that the man could find you any second. Keeping the phone next to you, decided to peek out the corner, to check if he was still there. Bad idea, the man saw your face and instantly ran to your direction. You couldnât run anywhere as there was a dead end and just backed up against the wall.Â
âYou thought you could run from me?â The man sneered at you.Â
âPlease leave me aloneâ You tried to muster up the courage, only for your eyes to betray you with tears spilling out of them.
âNo need to be scaredâ He creepily grinned at you and grabbed your wrist. You tried pulling away, but to no avail. At this point you were a crying mess.Â
âPlease let me goâ You sobbed, as he pinned you against the wall nearing your face. Only for the pressure to then completely vanish. You looked up and saw your boyfriend Seonghwa swing at the man all of a sudden. You gasped and held him back.Â
âThatâs what you get, you sick, son of a bitch!â He yelled at the man, shoving him to the ground.
You spent the evening cuddled up in eachothersâ embrace, with you trying to calm him down
Yunho: (creep at the beach)
You and Yunho were at the beach with the rest of Ateez and their girlfriends. It was a nice way to get away from their busy lifestyles as idols and for everyone to just have a day off. You and Sanâs girlfriend were quite close and decided to go shell collecting together.
The rest of Ateezâs and Ateez girlfriends were taking pictures, building sand castles and having fun, while Yunho and his Mingi went to go get ice cream for everyone.Â
You were laughing and giggling with one another, collecting sea shells, and comparing one anotherâs like kids, until two tall men interrupted the both of you.Â
âHey ladies! are you here at the beach to have a fun time?â One of them said. Being the bubbly and friendly person Sanâs girlfriend was, she decided to respond and make conversation, while you were a little more cautious.
âYeah, weâre just collecting seashellsâ she smiled back at them
âwith our boyfriendsâ you made sure to emphasise.
âHey, itâs alright theyâre just being niceeâ Sanâs girlfriend whispered to you.
âYou never knowâ you just shrugged back
âAnyways, do you girls know where we can pick up some hot ladiesâ At this point, Sanâs girlfriend looked a little uncomfortable too.
âThereâs a bar up ahead, hope you find what youre looking for, it was nice talking to youâ you promptly cut the conversation short and turned on your heel grabbing your friends arm.
âHey, no, no wait up, we just want to talkâ The other man grabbed your wrist.
âLet go of meâ You sternly said, but he didnât let go and just looked at his friend
âWe need to go back now, let me go!â You yelled at him.
The one holding your arm looked at his friend again, and the other one stepped closer to sanâs girlfriend taking her chin in his hands.
âLet go of me!â She tried stepping back, but he held her by her shoulder inching closer to her face.
âLet us go!â you yelled at both the men and shoved the one holding your friend to the ground.Â
He let go of her, and you told her to call someone for help. She took the opportunity and rang Yunho on the phone, telling him to hurry, as the men wouldnât leave you alone and you were aggressively yelling at them. You kept struggling in his grip, while the other one tried getting to your friend. After a few minutes of struggling and yelling for help, the grip on your wrist loosened and you heard both the men grunting. Yunho had shoved the man holding you, to the ground and had kicked the other one too. You were still yelling profanities at them, so Yunho turned to you and put his hands on your shoulders, and kissed your forehead.Â
âWhat the hell is wrong with those creepsâ You head San yell as he was comforting his girlfriend
âWell, one thing is for sure, theyâll think twice before even trying to approach someone againâ Yunho replied while holding you close
Yeosang: (spiked drink)
You and Yeosang were total opposites yet were such a power couple. Yeosang helped the both of you stay grounded, while you were the more outgoing friendly type.Â
Hongjoongâs birthday was coming up and everyone decided to go to the nearby bar to just chill and have a nice time. Yeosang initially wanted to go and leave a little early, as he thought the bar would be too overwhelming for him, but after some convincing and your puppy eyes, there was no way he could refuse. You decided to wear matching outfits with him wearing a full sleeved black button up and bleached skinny jeans, while you wore a black dress up till your knees. Yeosang blushed at the idea of matching, but blushed even more when he saw you in your dress.
After a quick makeout session and some giggles here and there, you both decided to leave to meet everyone at the bar. When you reached, you reached peak happiness. The bar had music so loud and there were so many people, you were excited to say the least. You dragged Yeosang into the bar and he bro-hugged Hongjoong while wishing him happy birthday. You on the other hand were already on the dance floor with Yunho and Mingi. You were yelling lyrics at eachother and breakdancing to no end. Yeosang glanced over at you and laughed at your childish antics.Â
When a slower song started to play, he knew it was his time to shine. You were already looking around for him in the crowd and when you finally saw him, a wide smile erupted on your face. You grabbed his shoulders and he grabbed your waist, as you fumbled a bit and were panting.
âAre you drunk?â He asked laughing a little.Â
âNo, not yet, Iâm just tired from dancingâ You said looking back up at him.
âI think you mean jumping up and down like a mad ladyâ He laughed at you. You playfully rolled your eyes and smiled at him. You were definitely aware of how much your dancing affected him.Â
 âYeo, Iâm going to go get a drink, Iâll be right backâ You said a little breathless.
You went to the bar table and simply sat there for a while deciding on your drink, and taking a break from dancing for a bit. After a while, you saw a drink slide in your direction, and looked up to see a stranger slide the cocktail in your direction. You didnât know her, but being the naĂŻve person you were, you accepted it instantly, thanking her for the drink. You gulped down the drink in one go and as you did, tasted a weird bitter taste in your mouth. A few minutes after chugging the drink, you felt quite dizzy. You have been drunk a few times and knew how it felt, this was definitely a new feeling. You looked back up at the lady, while your eyes were drooping and having a hard time staying open. She moved her stool closer to you, as you just looked back at her uncomfortably.Â
As you felt more lightheaded, you decided to go the washroom and try to throw it up. You went into the womenâs washroom and couldnât even stand up. At this point, your legs felt so wobbly you couldnât even stand up. You dialed your boyfriend amidst the loud music and he picked up on the first ring itself.
[Y/N, where are you, itâs been like 20 minutes, are you okay?] Yeosang said first.
[I donât know, I feel lightheaded and weak, I think someone drugged my drink] you slurred your words.
[Wait What?! Where are you right now] He yelled over the phone
[In the womenâs washroom]
[Okay wait there, Iâm coming to get you]
[No, but you canât-] And before you could respond, he hung up.Â
You heard the washroom door opening and you crawled into one of the stalls. Locking it behind you.
âWhere are you, beautiful?â You heard a female voice whisper out.
You felt grossed out, this had never happened to you before. Before you could say anything back, you heard the washroom door slam open and someone stomp in. It was Yeosang, he was growling and aggressively asked the lady,
âHave you seen my girlfriend?â
âOh, her, I donât know, Iâm looking for her too, but hands off sheâs mineâ The girl replied. At this point he was furious and pushed the girl to the wall, pinning her against it.Â
âShut up!â He growled.
You unlocked the door to your stall and weakly called out to him. He promptly crouched down to your level and picked you up. It was safe to say, you were definitely not going to be let out of his sight for the rest of the night, and probably forever.

Redemption Pt. 2
Pairings: Jungwoo x reader, ft. Johnny, Jaehyun, Mark
Words: 2.3K
Warnings:Â Language (there is almost always language in my writings), some angst
Summary:
Y/N finds Jungwoo in a compromising position weeks after their breakup. A list of misunderstandings leads to outcomes neither of them can bear to handle. Will the two of them be able to move past this and sort things out again? Or is there no room for redemption?
Part 1 | Part 2 |
The tickets from the movie of our first date
"Hey I'm sorry I'm late." There was a breathless voice that came from across the room. A boy in a grey shirt stood before his date and she blushed shaking her head.
You reached for another piece of popcorn, slowly chewing on the piece before sighing and reaching for another.
As the last call for your movie showed on the big screen you glanced at your watch again.
"Is this your movie?" He was tall, wearing a baby blue shirt and wore a thin pair of spectacles. Definitely not your blind date.
You sighed.
"Yeah, it's supposed to be."
"Supposed to be? You don't want to watch it anymore?" He asked, taking the seat in front of you.
"My date stood me up." You said bluntly, "I'm not really in the mood for a romance movie right now."
"How about murder mystery?" He flashed two tickets in the air, and sent you a sweet smile.
"Murder mystery? You don't really seem the type." You laughed, looking at the screen one last time. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise.
âExcuse me? Iâll have you know that this is research and I kill people on my down time.â
You cringed at him.
âOkay, that was bad, I know. But donât you pity me now? Now you have to join this loser for a movie date.â He smiled, his dimples on display.
You laughed standing up from your chair, âIf you promise never to say stuff like that again, Iâll join you.â
âSo it worked!â he fist pumped the air before skipping the way to the right theater with you in tow.
Maybe this wonât be so bad after all.
âI canât believe that it was the police officer the whole time!â You spoke animatedly, genuinely shocked that you spent the majority of the movie liking the man.
âI know right! People are so crooked.â He said, shaking his head on disappointment. âBut what a great plot twist right?â
âYeah I thought for sure that it was the store owner. I mean who carries around a metal wedge like that?â You nodded enthusiastically, way too into the conversation.
Jungwoo laughed beside you. âSo you donât regret joining me?â
âNope, I think I rather enjoyed myself.â You sent him a cheesy smile when you noticed that the two of you had already made it to the exit.
You didnât want this to end quite yet.
Almost as if he sense your hesitation he spoke up. âHow about dessert? Thereâs this fantastic ice cream shop just down the street and Iâd love to treat you, yâknow cause I just stole two hours of your time.â He grinned softly.
âIâd love that.â You couldnât help the smile that was bursting to break free.
âThen shall we?â He asked in a fake posh manner, sticking out his elbow for you to grab onto.
âWe shall.â You linked your arm and his and the two of you left for the shop.
The evening had started out sour, but like always Jungwoo managed to bring a little extra spark into your life. Imagine if he had never come up to you that evening, imagine if he had never stepped foot in that movie theater. You mightâve lost out on the most important thing in your life and never started your journey with Jungwoo. Where would you be now?
JUNGWOOâS POV
PRESENT DAY
The movie ticket of our first date.
The three boys looked down at the list and contemplated what they should do next.Â
âOkay, how am I supposed to find movie tickets with the same movie and date?â Jungwoo groaned. âThis isnât going to work itâs just stupid.â
âHey, itâs gonna be fine. All we need to do is get comfortable with photoshop. Right? Itâs not like itâs that hard to make a pretend movie ticket.â Jaehyun rested his hand on Jungwooâs shoulder, âItâll be fine.â
âSure it will.â
âDo you atleast remember the movie? And date?â Mark asked, notebook already in his hands again.
âOf course I do. How could I forget?â The last bit he muttered under his breath, but still loud enough that the boys could hear him.Â
They gave each other pitying looks.
âRight. Write it down then.â
Jungwooâs hands moved on its own.Â
âDude! No way! Thatâs what you watched on your first date?â Mark couldnât help but giggle at the title, earning a glare from Jungwoo and a shove from Johnny.
âDude. Not helping.â Johnny shook his head at the youngest before turning back to Jungwoo.
âSorry. Itâs just that theyâre making a sequel to that. It came out last week.â
Jungwoo cringed at the thought, vowing not to watch it.
âWas it good?â Jaehyun asked, more interested in the movie than the current situation.
âYeah! God you would not believe the plot twist there. It was awesome, I would totally watch it again-â
Johnny shoved the two of them. âGuys, not important right now.â
Jungwoo had retreated back, heads in his arms again and sighed, hearing the others talk.
âSorry.â
You didnât know how you got yourself dragged to the movie theater in the middle of the week. It was Wednesday and it seemed like all of a sudden your friends decided that movie night could be moved up a few days.
âPopcorn?â
You nodded haphazardly in response to your best friend Jennieâs question.Â
âCool, Iâll wait in line, go ahead and go to the bathroom, I can see you squirming from here. Iâll meet you in the theatre.â
You sent her a look of relief, and rushed towards the bathroom.Â
Staring at yourself in the reflection of the mirror, you couldnât help but notice the large black circles under your eyes. You rubbed them once more before heading to the theatre.Â
Jennie had picked out the movie, dragging you along and you pulled out the ticket that she shoved into your hands the moment you walked in the building.Â
Theatre 2 B14.
That should be easy enough to find. Although your direction skills could always use improving.
You froze as you stood before your theatre, noticing the large poster next to it.Â
No.
You recognized the familiar poster, same cast, give or take a few, but it was almost identical to the one you remembered as your first encounter with Jungwoo.
You scrambled for your phone and typed in the title of the movie, your heart dropping at the description. It was the sequel.Â
Your feet refused to move, stuck in the same spot and you heard a loud bang coming from the theatre. The commercials had already started.Â
A group of teenagers bumped into your shoulder trying to enter the theatre, you stumbled forward, hearing the faint giggles and muttered apologies.Â
It was the push that you needed to make your way into the theatre.Â
As you walked up the aisles to find your seat you felt a wave of anxiety as you noted the group of rowdy boys in the seats next to yours.Â
You sighed, knowing that you were in for a uncomfortable movie.Â
Taking your seat, the boy next to you turned to give you a hesitant smile, almost as an offering of an apology in advance.Â
Your blood ran cold.Â
âJungwoo?â It came out as a whisper, catching in your throat, but it was undeniable that he heard you.
He gulped, eyes fluttering across your face.
The noise next to you seemed to hush, a familiar voice called out to you, tearing you from Jungwooâs face.
âY/N?â Mark couldnât control the amount of shock as well as the other boys, letting you know that you were the last person they were expecting. You lifted your hand into a shy wave, to which they returned, leaning back into their respective seats.
âSo...â
You turned awkwardly to your ex, waiting for him to continue.
âAre you excited for the movie?â
You raised your eyebrows, the idea of small talk still uncomfortable to you.
âYeah, I guess... I hope it lives up to the first one.â You blushed in memory of your first date brought up subtly.
Although it was dark, the red tint on Jungwooâs was noticeable by you.
âYeah... I heard it was good though, Markâs already watched it and he dragged the rest of us here again.â His voice dropped a few octaves, lowering as the commercials got quiet as well.
You nodded, facing the screen, refusing to take your eyes off of it.
âY/N.â There was a hiss coming from your right, you found Jennie desperately trying to find your form before initiating a crouch run to your side. She sank into the seat and leaned towards you, not noticing the boy next to you.
âIâm so so so sorry. But Lucas just asked me to pick him up from school. My mom stranded him again and he wonât stop calling.â She grimaced and looked at you apologetically.
Your eyes widened, realizing that she was planning on leaving you here.Â
âHeâs been waiting for three hours and I actually think heâll try to kill me in my sleep if I donât go to pick him up.â
You nodded, knowing that Lucas may be younger than his sister, but he was ten times bigger and had enough passion in him to do so.
âOkay.â You moved to get up, you didnât really want to stay here alone. âIâll come with you.â
âNo. You should stay for the movie, we already paid and movie tickets are not cheap. Plus I think youâll like this one, it looks right up your alley. Iâll call you tomorrow.â She shoved the bucket of popcorn into your lap and left before you could respond.
You sighed, slumping in your seat and picking at the pieces of popcorn that sat on top.
Jungwoo looked over at your side profile nervously from his seat.
You were tempted to move into Jennieâs unoccupied seat, eager to distance yourself from Jungwoo. But your body didnât move.
His eyes followed the movement of your fingers, aching to reach out and grasp them in his own.
Less focused on the beginning of the movie and more concentrated on the bucket in front of you, you could feel yourself eating your way through your anxiety of the situation.
You choked slightly, turning red from embarrassment and tried to suppress the urge to cough.
You felt a nudge in your side, Jungwoo slid his drink towards you, and invitation to relieve your throat of pain.
You hesitated, as childish as it seemed you really didnât want to drink from the same cup as him, but you were suffering.
You gave him a thankful smile and sipped for moment until you felt alright again.
In return you stuck the bucket of popcorn out towards him, after all there was no way that you could finish the whole thing on your own.
Halfway through the movie you felt the warmth of his hand graze yours as you simultaneously reached for a handful. As cliche as it seemed you felt sparks fly up your arm and you flinched pulling away, watching him do the same.
You hated that you still felt your heart rush at the close proximity. You hated that he still made you nervous. You hated that you still had these feelings.
Before you knew it the closing credits had rolled across the screen and the lights of the theatre began to fade on.
From the corner of your eye you could see as the other boys stretched and stood up, making their way out of the theatre. It was only you and Jungwoo now.
You avoided eye contact, moving to make your exit. He followed.
The bright lights of the lobby had you blinking in distress. Johnny grinned at your fazed state and walked the group over to where you were standing, Jungwoo steps behind.
âHey Y/N.â Jaehyun waved shyly at you before shoving his hands back into his pocket.
You smiled in response before turning to face Johnny, who looked like he was dying to say something.
âY/N fancy seeing you here.â There was a grin that crossed his face, he looked too happy to be seeing you here.
You furrowed your eyebrows and nodded at him, not saying anything.
Standing awkwardly in the group you glanced at your phone checking the time. It was getting late and you groaned suddenly realizing that Jennie had left earlier. You no longer had a ride.Â
You grimaced, pulling your phone out to text her, then realized that it was best not to bother her, as she was dealing with a very upset Lucas.
âWhatâs up?â Johnny asked, peering over at your screen.
âNothing.â You sighed, âI just remembered that my ride left earlier. I should go now to see if I could catch the bus.â
He shook his head, âNo way, why donât you let us give you a ride?â
âOh. You wouldnât mind?â As much as you hated the thought of being confined in a car with the four of the them, it was much better than getting on the sketchy bus that comes by every hour.
âOf course not, the bus is gross.â You nodded thankfully.
âOh, that makes things easy then, could we pick up my box of things on the way then?â You asked, remembering that Johnny said they were at his place.
There was a pause, and you didnât miss the look the three of them gave each other.
âI-uh... I forgot I actually have this thing I have to go to, with Mark and Jaehyun. Jungwoo, why donât you drop her off?â
Your eyes widened at him.Â
Jungwoo nodded more enthusiastically than you expected him to.Â
You glanced at him, reluctantly following his lead.Â
How bad could one car ride be?

the second time around | jaehyun
title: the second time around pairing: jaehyun x reader genre: fluff, some angst request: âHi! Hereâs a suggestion for a story or add-on to another story you wrote. I really liked moonlight w/ jaehyun! Could you do a follow up with him not seeing her for awhile and him (and her secretly) being pissed about it but wants to reconnect with her but outside of being a customer. Ty and keep up the good work with your writing.â word count: 2.9k warnings: a couple mentions of sex a/n:Â hmm...the sequel to moonlight...sequels are scary to write but here we are lol. this couldâve been posted last sunday really but iâve been stalling oof
Despite getting Jaehyunâs number after that night at the strip club, youâve seen and heard a lot less of him than youâd like. On his end, Jaehyun isnât so pleased about losing touch either, but you wouldnât know that with the lack of communication.
Both of you are ultimately busy with your own lives, and itâs not like he can just drop in whenever he wants to visit you. Not just because heâs busy, but also because of where you work. The men keep their visits to the club on a once-a-month basis for a reasonâto avoid tipping off any stalkers whoâd find out and leak their whereabouts.
Youâve texted each other a few times since your first meeting, and you enjoyed the conversations you got to have within that timespan, but the time between responses kept getting longerâon both of your endsâuntil things eventually dropped off.
You were unhappy about this, though you tried not to be so obvious about it to the other girls. Getting attached to customers was not a good look. Even if they were handsome and nice and had good dick.
However, Anya was the first to notice your slightly sour mood despite your best efforts to project an unphased demeanor. And, being her usual nosy self, she managed to pry it out of you before you could even think about denying it.
âDonât stress about it,â sheâd told you on the night you finally spilled the beans. Sheâd wrapped her arms around your shoulders and tipped your chin up, making you hold your head up higher and look at yourself in the mirror reflection facing you. âThere will be many more men where he came from. And if you donât wanna deal with any more men right now, thatâs fine too. He doesnât know what heâs missing out on, anyway.â
âIâm not stressing over it,â youâd argued, sighing. âWe donât stress over men who arenât boyfriends, remember?â
Anya grinned then, though you could tell it was the kind of smile you give when a friend is doing something they shouldnât beâor indulging in something they think is good for them when itâs not. âDuh. But you might wanna start following your own advice if youâre gonna be dishing it out!â And then sheâd gone off to do her own thing, probably to finish getting ready for her set later that night or to go bother one of her favorite bartenders.
Youâd looked at yourself in the mirror more closely, frowning at the truthfulness of her statement and wishing you had not been quite so easy to read. Youâd had a show right after that, which allowed you to take your mind off the mess for at least a few hours. But in the small moments when you werenât thinking about work or school or anything else you had to do, Jaehyun crept back into your mind like a specter, wanting you to acknowledge him even though you werenât getting the same.
When you head out to the parking lot after a particularly long night, you slow your steps when you see a man leaning against his car, his cap pulled over his eyes and his head low. In any other scenario, you probably wouldâve alerted one of the bouncers, thinking he was some creep waiting until after your stage to try to corner you in a shady area. However, you hold off on calling anybody because you can clearly recognize him even if he thinks heâs being inconspicuousâitâs Jaehyun.
He lifts his head when he hears your shoes on the ground, and his lips turn up into something of a smile.
âIf you wanted another dance, youâre a bit late. We just closed,â you say jokingly, raising an eyebrow at him. Jaehyun shakes his head.
âTempting idea, but thatâs not what I came here for.â He turns to face you fully now, observing you in your casual, after-work clothes. In the back of your mind, you realize this is the first time heâs seen you outside the context of performing. Then he sighs. âIt feels like itâs been forever since Iâve seen you.â
âI know.â Your familiar irritation rises again. Sure, maybe him coming to see you or you going to see him more often isnât feasible. A text or a call, though...would be decidedly less effort, and not difficult to do. Youâre not sure whether to be more irritated with him or yourself about not trying to reach out again, though you decide to aim your annoyance at him just because you can.
Jaehyun nods to your agreement. âHow have you been?â
âIâve been fine,â you say. âWork is...work. It has its ups and downs. How are you? Busy with the idol life?â
Jaehyun sighs. âYeah...it just getsâŚstressful sometimes.â He bites his lip and shakes his head, seeming bothered about whateverâs going on with his job but not wanting to say much more about it.
âIâm sure,â you respond, and you donât really know what to say afterwards. Itâs been a while since either of you talked, and itâs strangely hard to try to pick up where you left off as if nothing happened. Jaehyun realizes this, too, and appears distressed at not knowing how to keep the conversation going with youâand possibly wasting your time.
You nod to yourself and shift on your feet. âWell, the Uber will probably be here soon, soââ
âI donât know what things will look like between us, but I donât want us to fall out of contact again,â Jaehyun blurts out, then winces. âSorry. I didnât mean to interrupt. I just...donât want either of us to leave before we...sort this out, I guess.â
You think to yourself, wondering if this is really worth trying to pursue. Youâve yet to deal with a man with the level of fame that Jaehyun has, yet with such a strict image to keep, which makes things exponentially more complicated. But despite your apprehension, you still want to know where this could lead. After a moment, you say, âWell, if youâre willing...Iâd like the same.â
Jaehyun nods and stands up a little straighter, like that response just gave him the energy he needed. âDo you wannaâŚ.go somewhere? Just to like, hang out.â His proposition is abrupt, and you didnât expect it.Â
âNow?â You check your phone, and itâs 18 minutes past 2 a.m. There arenât too many places that will still be open at this hour, other than establishments similar to your line of work, but you arenât in the mood for any more of that tonight. Your driver, too, is only a few minutes away, but you already find yourself with your finger hovering over the Cancel button. âWe could.â
Jaehyun goes around to the passenger side of the car and opens the door for you. You get into his car, noting its sleek interior. Once he gets in, he asks you what you want to hear, and you notice heâs looking through his Spotify. You shrug.
âI donât know. Show me something you like,â you say. You cringe at sounding so disinterested, which makes you realize you might just be a little more upset about being ghosted than you thought you were. You almost want to curse at how this dude is taking you off your usual game. âI mean, I like hearing new music anyway, soâŚâ
Jaehyun starts the car and grins slightly. âAlright, then let me show you the best of the bestâŚâ You both end up listening and vibing to a playlist heâs made, which is good. Not that you didnât expect it to be, but you end up liking most of the songs he shows you, which usually doesnât happen with other peopleâs playlists.
Jaehyun ends up taking you to an ice cream place thatâs still open this late, to your surprise. The sitting area inside the store is closed, though theyâve kept the drive-thru open for late-night travelers like yourselves who want a quick treat. You donât question it, though; you definitely wonât pass up a chance for some ice cream.
You end up eating the ice cream while sitting in his car and listening to the rest of his playlist. Neither of you say much other than commenting on the songs or talking about your favorite ice cream flavors or making other non-committal small talk. You kind of prefer it this way, at least for the momentâjust listening to the music and watching the headlights and taillights of cars that pass by.
You and Jaehyun ride around the city for a while longer after finishing the ice cream, not intending to go anywhere in particular but just coasting on the highways. It might be an excuse to keep listening to this new playlist heâs put on, or maybe more reason to pretend that awkward period between you never happened. Acknowledging it in a way, but not speaking any life into it.Â
Eventually, though, it has to arise back to the surface. Jaehyun taps his fingers against the steering wheel at a red light, like heâs impatient to get somewhere, and you wonder what heâs feeling until he comes out and says,
âI think it was...ultimately my fault for not contacting you more. Or not trying to stay in contact.â
The words hang in the air for a moment. âWell, I wonât argue with that,â you finally respond.
âItâs just hard to get close to anyone and be an idol at the same time. Sometimes I sabotage myself when I shouldnât, andâŚâ He trails off, though you donât know whether heâs searching for the words or has decided to leave his sentence at that.
âYouâd rather not be embarrassed by dating a stripper, or something along those lines?â Your tone is nonchalant, though youâre a little bothered by saying it. He wouldnât be the first or the last person to feel some type of way about your job, though youâve mostly gotten used to the judgment at this point.
Jaehyun seems a bit startled by the statement. âIf you like doing it, then I donât care what you do. You should live your life however you want to.â
âI see,â you say slowly. âMost men I meet outside of the club are not receptive to it, so you ainât gotta lie if you feel some other way about it, seriously...â
âIâm serious,â he insists. âYou told me that day that you liked it, and I believed you. I just think...we should all be able to do things we enjoy without worrying about what others think of it.â
Jaehyun turns to look at you for a moment, and his features are lit up by the street light as it turns green. His face, which is simultaneously painted with shadows and glowing with light, appears to be just as genuine as he sounds. Or maybe this late-night atmosphere just has you feeling more receptive and sentimental than usual. Then he broaches the next subject carefully, steering you back to where the conversation began. âYou didnât text me anymore, either.â
âI figured youâd moved on or something, maybe started talking to someone elseâŚâ you reply. âAnd, you know, if that was the case...so be it. There wouldnât be a point to chasing someone who wasnât interested anymore.â
âI am interested.â Jaehyun rushes the words out, like heâs eager to dispel the uncertainty before you get the wrong idea; not that that hasnât already happened, but still. It isnât too late to change your mind. âI want to like, know you as a person...not just while being a customer at the club, or something like that.â
You nod, looking at your hands and considering his words. âWe can do that...yeah, we can.â Then you hold your hand out to him, a grin playing on your lips. âNice to meet you, then. Iâm Y/N.â
He smiles too, and takes your hand in one of his. âIâm Jaehyun.â
The conversation after that seems to reach a turning point, like somehow youâve broken the ice and can finally talk to each other on a deeper level without worrying about the issue thatâs been lingering over your heads all night. You think you could talk to him like this for hours if you wanted to, if there was enough time in the world for it.Â
Unfortunately, though, you donât have as much time as youâd like, and once it starts edging on 4 AM, you both decide itâs probably best to call it a night. Jaehyun takes you back to your apartment after you tell him where it is.
He parks in front of the apartment complex, and youâre prepared to thank him for the night and get out, but he insists on walking you up to your apartmentâsomething about it being too dangerous for women to walk alone at night.
âItâs not that far.â You laugh, but you arenât going to argue about it if it means getting a few more moments with him.
Jaehyun follows you up the steps after you both get out of the car. You walk a little slower to prolong the moment, but eventually you have to get up to your apartment door. You also take your time with taking your keys out of your bag and putting them in the lock. And maybe youâre not as slick as you thought, because Jaehyun notices. He laughs quietly behind you, but the sound isnât low enough to escape your hearing.
You turn around to look at him, your hand on the doorknob. âWell, I guess thatâs it. Thanks for the ride...and for the ice cream, you know.â
He nods, and one of his dimples pokes out. âYou didnât have to entertain me tonight, but Iâm glad you did...so, thanks.â
Both of you linger in your doorway for a few more moments. Jaehyun wants to come in, and you know it, but you also know he probably wonât say it because he technically shouldnât. His members are expecting him back at the dorm. He doesnât want to impose, and he didnât even bring any extra clothes. But you know he wants to come in, and you want it, too.
You tilt your head to the side. âWould it be bad if I asked you to stay?â you say tentatively.
A slow smile spreads on his face. âNo, it wouldnât.â
You open the door wider so he can step inside and take his shoes off at the entrance. You lead him to your living room by the hand. âWhat do you wanna do?â you ask, looking at him imploringly. You want to be sure youâre both on the same page concerning your intentions.
âWhatever you wanna do,â he echoes, holding your hand a bit tighter. You expect to see lust or some similar desire in his expression and had already figured you might end up having sex again tonight, but his eyes expect nothing from you. He only smiles in the dim light of your apartment and waits for you to make the next move.
You laugh, and it comes out as an airy chuckle. âWell, then...I want to lay down. Itâs been a long day.â From your tone, Jaehyun understands that you really just want to lie down and not think about much of anything else right now. He follows you when you lead him into your bedroom and sits patiently on your bed while you go to the bathroom to change into your night clothes. Youâre thankful you already took a shower at the club, because youâre not sure youâd have the energy to do all that now.
Heâs taken his jeans off when you come back into the room, though he still keeps his shirt on. You get onto the bed and lean over him, hooking your finger into the collar of his shirt, and he looks up at you. âYou can take this off if you want, I donât care.â
âIs this you saying you want to see me shirtless?â He grins, though he readily takes the invitation and pulls his shirt off, placing it to the side along with his pants.
You shake your head good-naturedly, a smile on your face. âI promise itâs innocentâŚbut the view never hurts.â
You peel the sheets back and you both climb underneath them, lying across from each other and looking at each other like you want to say something more but arenât sure what. There isnât much light in the room except for the street lights coming from your bedroom window, muted slightly by the blinds.
Jaehyun laughs suddenly, breaking the silence, and you do the same. Youâre not sure why either of you are laughing, but you do so anyway, simply enjoying the moment for what it is. After your laughter dies down, he takes your hand from where itâs resting on the pillow and slips his pinky around yours. âIâll try not to lose you this time.â
You lean a little closer to his face so you can plant a kiss on his lipsâjust a short and soft touch. He tastes like ice cream, and somehow you know there will be many more kisses like this in the future. âYou better not.â

break up - choi hyunsuk
hyunsuk x fem reader x yoshi (?)
summary: you finally confront your boyfriend and get everything off your chest. how does it result into a break up?
genre: college au, break up au
word count: 3.8k+
warning: minor cussing, mention of anxiety, minor anxiety attack (passing out), mention of anxiety pills/meds, break up
note: the first sad fanfic iâve ever written so i hope you enjoy :)
You're trembling at the sight of the audience from backstage, basically the entire university is present. Having anxiety and dreaming of becoming a performer is obviously not the best combination, you always need to have your pills ready in case of an emergency. You're completely used to performing in front of your classmates and a large crowd but they opened the theater until every seat was filled, you can barely see the people in the back.
The only thing that keeps you going is your best friend, he's always front seat at your recitals and other performances. Even when Yoshi's not physically there to cheer you on, you know he's watching from a FaceTime call with your moms. You've been best friends since freshman orientation, you've even thought you would end up together but there was someone else that caught your eye -- your current boyfriend, Hyunsuk.
Most people suspect that Yoshi's your boyfriend because he's always seen around you, but you don't blame them, it logically makes sense. Even you sometimes feel like Yoshi treats you as more than just a best friend. Hyunsuk tends to be busy on weekends which is totally understandable, you just wish he'd make the time and effort to see you perform just once. He's never been to any of your performances or recitals, you wouldn't be surprised if he was unaware of them. Your moms are concerned for your relationship but you repeatedly remind them it's no big deal to you and he's just a busy guy.
"30 seconds," one of the backstage staff whispers passing by you. You mentally prepare yourself for your last performance of the year. 'I can do this.' Is all you repeat in your mind. The only way you can survive is by searching for your silver haired best friend in the audience and he'll give you all the encouragement you need.
"Youâre up," the same person from earlier whispers from beside you. You take a deep breath in and out to slightly calm down the rollercoaster of nervousness mixed with puke in your stomach. You make your way on the stage and before the song starts, you don't hesitate to distinctively skim the first row. Your eyes stop near the middle as you see Yoshi with a big smile on his face. He gives you his iconic thumbs up of motivation and the song starts.
You sing your heart out to the audience but caught yourself looking at Yoshi a bit too often. Then again, he's the only one out there that came for you. Not even your moms could make it because of how close the performance is to the holidays.
[7:09pm]
You gather your belongings from the dressing room and speed walk out of the hall. Opening the door to the main hallway, Yoshi is leaning against the wall holding a box of chocolates. You run up to him as his arms open wide, ready for you to tackle him. Your bodies clash together, pulling him into a tight hug. His head nestles into your neck as he mumbles, "You killed it as always, (Y/n)."
"Only because of you. You know I can't do anything without you around," you giggle. You both pull away from the hug then he takes your bag away from you, slinging it over his shoulder.
"What? Am I like your lucky charm?" He jokes and you both laugh but in the back of your mind you take it seriously, he technically is. Whenever he's watching over the phone, you make the slightest mistakes and just pray the audience doesn't notice. His live presence is much more comforting to you. "These are for you. I know you hate flowers because you consider them a waste of space in your apartment." He hands you the box of chocolates -- your favorite box of chocolates.
"Thank you. I'll finish these tonight. Do you wanna go for some cheesecake?" Yoshi and you celebrate after every performance with food or if he's feeling generous, he takes you out to go shopping.
"Ooh, I can't. I'm going out with Asahi and Jihoon. I'll make it up to you tomorrow though."
"There's no need to make up for it, the chocolate's enough." The two of you don't always need to celebrate with food afterwards. Maybe going back to the apartment and spending the rest of the night with Hyunsuk will be better anyway.
"You don't need a ride home?" He asks as you make your way outside of the building.
"It's across the street, I can walk." Perks of living close to the university means saving cash for food.
"Alright, you be safe. And don't forget to take your anxiety meds once he get home," he orders, throwing your bag at you. You say your goodbyes then part ways.
[7:32pm]
You unlock the door to your apartment and while taking your shoes off, you see Hyunsuk's daily pair. It seems like he casually threw them onto the floor with no care in the world. You neatly place them in an available cubby and put your shoes away in their rightful spot.
You walk into your room to see Hyunsuk passed out across the bed. You clean out your bag, putting your belongings away where they belong. While getting dressed into your house clothes, you hear movement from outside the bathroom. Walking out of the bathroom, you throw your hair up into a ponytail.
"When did you get here?" Hyunsuk asks as you join him in the kitchen.
"Around 10 minutes ago? How long have you been home for?"
"I came here straight after school. Where were you?" He casually responds, grabbing a popsicle from the freezer. "Out with Yoshi again?" He asks with a hint of annoyance in his voice, but maybe you're just annoyed with the words that came out his mouth. It's obvious he doesn't listen to a word you say. He really had no idea about your performance? Also, what's the reason for bringing up Yoshi in that way?
"I had my monthly performance," you bluntly say. If he really had no clue, there's no way you'd be able to tolerate his ignorance. The list of things he does that piss you off keeps growing longer and longer.
"Since when do you have monthly performances?" Your eyes follow his body moving from the kitchen to the couch. The TV flickers on and you notice his interest beginning to fade away like in any conversation you've had in the past.
"Can you please turn the TV off when we're talking?" You order him like you're his mother. Does he have even the slightest drop of respect? He treats you like his sidepiece, like you're there to entertainment him whenever he feels like it.
"Don't worry, I'm still listening," he responds with his eyes glued to the TV. His eyes haven't met yours since you've arrived.
Hyunsuk is your first boyfriend. You were never the type to date before college because the only thing occupying your mind was school. Although you started off clueless in relationships, after being with Hyunsuk for a year, you eventually learned the attributes to a toxic relationship and how certain behaviors are formed.
In the beginning, it was never like this, Hyunsuk did anything and everything just to gain your attention for more than 20 seconds, trying to win you over every day. You loved playing hard to get with him, testing his limits. One day, you gave in to him and his constant courting. The two of you became the happy couple everyone aspires to be.
"But I don't want coffee today!" You whine and jump a bit in place to show how desperate you are. "Ice cream please."
"Fine, only because I love you." The word 'no' doesn't exist in his vocabulary, at least when it comes to you. He feels bad when he sees how disappointed you get when things don't go the way you want. You and Yoshi walk through the campus on your way to the ice cream parlor nearby.
Acting like a child is a natural instinct to you. You're the youngest in the family so you were babied the most and those behaviors never faded away. You enjoy your foot to stay in the squares, never touching the lines as you walk along the sidewalks. Yoshi found your actions interesting and would sometimes copy you when he felt like it, other times he'd watch you from behind as your pace quickens.
"Do it with me," you say. It was supposed to come out as an order but the baby side of you stopped yourself. You take Yoshi's hand in yours to line him up to your speed. As you hop over each line, Yoshi walks beside you looking like a loser. "You're so lame. You owe me two ice-"
"Hey, (Y/n)!" Hyunsuk chirps from beside you, cutting you off. Hyunsuk's been convincing you to let him take you on a date for too long. Every day it's the same thing, 'How does this weekend sound?' 'Just one date.' It's not that you didn't want to go out with him, you'd actually enjoy it very much. You just want to test his patience, see how long he can last, and to what extent he'll go to.
You let go of Yoshi's hand and bring your hands to the straps of your backpack. "Uh, hi?" You act totally uninterested. You like to see him stutter and think of ways for you to say more than four words at a time.
"Did you tell Yoshi you want two ice creams? I can buy you two ice cream cones, if that's what you want." If someone is willing to buy you more than one of any kind of food, you're not passing up on that opportunity. Hyunsuk willing to pay for the food just to win you over is quite worrisome though, it's a sign of easy manipulation.
"I guess," you keep your response short.
"It's okay, dude. I can buy for (Y/n)." Yoshi says from the other side of you. He may have not gotten the message that this was a test for Hyunsuk.
"I just got paid, paying for her ice cream won't hurt," Hyunsuk throws a sassy smile at Yoshi. Hyunsuk runs in front of you to get to the ice cream parlor before you and Yoshi.
"You really got him using his money for you, huh?"
"Yup! You know, he seems to like me a lot," you state the obvious.
"Really? Hm, I don't know. To me, it seems like he doesn't even want to be around you," he sarcastically says.
"I kind of like him now," you blurt out.
"A Hyunsuk confession to me? That's a shocker." He's known about who you felt about Hyunsuk for a few days now. He was neither happy nor upset about the news, he must've seen it coming. "What? Are you finally going to answer him today?" He laughs with no idea that you've already created a plan before today.
"Um, yeah." Yoshi stops in his track but you continue to walk, not caring if he gets left behind or not. "Can you walk? I have ice cream waiting for me."
"You're going to tell him? Today?" He sounds absolutely shocked. It's hard to tell whether it's because he's afraid you'd abandon him or maybe he'll feel bad if things don't work the way you'd want.
"Is that not what I just said?" You walk back over to him and wrap your arms together. "Now, let's go."
The two of you walk over to the ice cream parlor and Hyunsuk's already waiting at a table with your two ice cream cones in hand. Yoshi orders his ice cream while you sit with Hyunsuk. "Thanks," you say as he hands you both cones.
"Yeah, no problem. I remember you always had strawberry ice cream at uni so that's what I got you," he flashes a cute smile.
"Do you not have some for yourself?" You ask and he shakes his head. A frown forms on your face, it's unfair that he's bought you dessert but left himself empty-handed. You extend your arm out and force him to take your extra ice cream cone.
"Are you free this Saturday night?" You blurt our before taking a lick of your ice cream.
Hyunsuk's taken by surprise, you're never the one to initiate any conversation that demonstrates interest but you had a sudden burst of boldness. His eyes widen and he begins to stutter, "Oh. I- Well- It's a weekend- Uh-"
You cut him off, his stuttering's cute but you want a straight up answer, "If you're not free, just tell me. We can figure out another day."
"Thursday night?"
"It's a date."
The date is what initiated your relationship, it was a new beginning as a couple and for you as an individual. By the end of the date, Hyunsuk's impatient self had asked you to be his girlfriend and you proudly said yes.
You can't put your finger exactly on when your relationship went downhill, all you know is leading up to your one year anniversary, things changed.
Hyunsuk started off sweet, caring, a whore for your attention but turned into an unsupportive and distant boyfriend. He never takes you out on random dates, walks with you to school in the morning, and most importantly, you don't sleep in the same bed anymore and if you were, there'd be a line of pillows separating you. You're the only person putting in the effort nowadays and it's tiring.
You snatch the remote from beside him and turn off the TV. "What the hell? Give me back the remote!" He slightly raises his voice but it doesn't bother you. He's done it way too many times for it to have any sort of effect you.
"Oh? You want the remote back? Here, take it." You rip the batteries out from the back and slip them into your back pocket. Mercilessly, the remote is thrown onto the couch next to him.
"What the fuck was that for?" He yells yet again. His eyes meet yours for the first time, his eyebrows furrowed and face burning red.
"I can't take this anymore! I've been taking your shit for way too long. What happened to you the past few months, huh? You are a whole 'nother person. You're not the Hyunsuk I met in literature class my freshman year," I scoff. "The old you would do anything to see me, spend time with me. Please, just tel-"
"What do you expect? People change, (Y/n)! Do you want me to stay the same for the rest of my life?" He has a point, people change but never to the extent where they begin to lose interest in their girlfriend's life.
"I expect you to act like my boyfriend! You're never there for me. I'm always at your dance recitals and soccer games but never have you been to one of mine." Your vision becomes blurry because of your teary eyes. "I- I'm so fucking tired. Tired of- of having to look in the crowd and not see my boyfriend's face. Do you know how helpless I feel up on stage? You're supposed to be my number one supporter."
"You have never mentioned your performances before. How was I supposed to know?" This is his excuse? That's the fattest lie ever made on the planet.
"What do you mean?" You raise your voice. Your voice is very unstable and so is your mind, you could break at any second. "I've been bringing it up even before we started dating. I'd tell you every month, 'I have a performance next week. Do you want me to buy you a ticket?' You always have an excuse, it always has to do with work or going out with your friends. Do you just not have time for your girlfriend?"
"No! I don't! I have a social life and I need to pay the bills. All you do is go out with that stupid Yoshi boy!" He had absolutely no business bringing him into this. Is he using Yoshi as an excuse to ignore his own girlfriend?
"Pay the bills?" You quietly say to yourself before repeating it as loud as possible, "Pay the fucking bills? Your money goes straight to drinking with your friends. I am the only one paying the bills here. Me!" His head lowers down from embarrassment because he knows he's wrong. Yes, he makes money, but where does it all go? To food and drinks with his friends the night after earning it. It's a complete waste of money and a complete waste of your time. Because of how much money he spends, you end up working night and morning shifts to earn the money that he's responsible for paying off.
"And what the hell does Yoshi have to do with this? The only reason why the two of us are together so much is because he actually makes the effort to support me. He's my best friend and you're supposed to be my boyfriend. Instead of being a jealous brat, bringing up his name in an argument that has nothing to do with him, why don't you try to act your part?" You say all in one breath.
Just then, you break down into tears. You were holding it all in for too long that the pain and frustration hit you all at once, bringing you down into a ball of tears. Your breathing was obviously uneven as you were crying but it soon became hard to breathe. Hyunsuk stayed quiet the whole time, not knowing what to say or do. Was he supposed to comfort you or let you cry on the floor by yourself? After listening to your constant hiccuping and sobs continuing for god knows how long, he kneels in front of you.
Your cries were longer than usual and from the sound of his voice, he was concerned. "(Y/n)? Di- Did you take your pills when you got home?" You shake your head in response. This is why Yoshi is always there to remind you to take your pills, he knows you tend to forget at night.
"Okay." Hyunsuk disregards everything that's been said the past few minutes to focus on you and your health, "We're going to stand up and get you to the bed." He holds you up from your armpits, lifting you up from the floor. Once all of your weight is on your feet, nothing.
You see absolutely nothing. Pitch black.
[9:12pm]
You open your eyes to face the ceiling and stretch your arms and legs. "You're awake," a voice from beside you says.
"Yo- Yoshi. What are you doing here? What time is it? Where's Hyunsuk?" The questions flood out as you have a hard time remembering what happened to you.
"A lot of questions, huh? It's a bit past 9. Hyunsuk called me and told me about the fight you had and how you passed out. He didn't know how to handle you so he asked me to come over and help. He also didn't know how you'd feel if he was the first person you saw," he lets out a soft giggle at the end.
You forgot about your fight with Hyunsuk. Everything's coming back to you: The annoyance, the slight confusion of his words. You know if he were to walk through the door right now, you wouldn't hesitate to pounce him.
"You forgot to take your medicine when you got home, didn't you?" He breaks your train of thought. He knows you so well.
"Ho- How did you know?"
"Who's the one to call you at 7:40 every night to remind you?" He asks pulling out your phone to show you a missed call from him at exactly 7:40pm. Sometimes, you learn new things about yourself, like how high maintenance you are to the point where you need another person to remind you of what to do every single day.
"I didn't have to take my meds. I just shouldn't have went off on Hyunsuk, then this would've never happened."
Yoshi sighs and gently pats your head, "We both know it was bound to happen. There just needed to be something to trigger it." Again, he knows you so well, a bit too well.
"Can you bring him here? I want to finish my conversation from earlier." Maybe you won't pounce him, you have absolutely no energy for that. But you do need this weight to be lifted off of your shoulders.
"Only if you promise to not attack him or yell at him," he holds out his pinky. You connect your pinkies and do your quick handshake.
"Promise."
Yoshi leaves the room and shortly after, Hyunsuk walks through the door sending you a soft smile. You pat the spot next to you on the bed and he respectfully and quietly sits, waiting for you to say something.
"I think it's time," you softly say. You avoid eye contact with Hyunsuk because you knew if you were to look into his eyes, all it'd reflect is pain. Even though he wasn't the perfect boyfriend, maybe didn't even act like your boyfriend at all, he loves you and no matter how he acts, you both knew that. You never stopped loving him despite how many times he angered and tested you.
"Can we please try again? I swear I'll be the perfect boyfriend to you, (Y/n). I- I was thinking while you were asleep, looking back at the past few months. You put up with so much shit that you shouldn't have had to go through and I'm truly sorry. I want to make it up to you by making things right," he says with hope in his voice. "Please, (Y/n)." You look up at him, he genuinely is sorry. The regret and pain in his teary eyes are strong, no one could see past it.
You take a deep breath to quickly recollect your thoughts, "I'm sorry, Hyunsuk. I'm not happy in this relationship anymore. This could be the time to better ourselves." You keep it short, not wanting to hurt his feelings even more.
"I- I don't get a second chance?" A tear rolls down his face.
"I've given you more than just a second chance these past few months. Maybe in the future we'll have a chance to try again together." You still love Hyunsuk. There's no such thing as a perfect relationship, there's bound to be mistakes and obstacles in the way to drive you apart. If the two of you are truly meant to be then you'll meet again.
"Maybe," he softly says. "Or maybe it's Yoshi that should be given a chance."

We need to talk.
Summary: After a breakup, Ivan realizes his life was not as fullfilling as he had thought. Reaching out to old friends might prove to be a slow task with interesting outcomes.
Chapter preview: Ivan turned around only to meet the cashier's backhand with his cheek. Blinking rapidly he heard Feliciano's apologies, the poor guy was quivering in fear, the brunette glanced down before questioning. "Is it your pet, sir?"
Ivan sighed and nodded.
"Perhaps you could place some cat treats around your home, that may help... uhh Boris? To find the way back."
Ivan felt Alfred patting him in the back, snickering softly, the American smiled at the cashier. "That was a good way of snapping or should I say slapping? him back to reality."
Chapter 4: Laughter
"Sir, can I tell you something?"
Ivan glanced at the cashier, he was a brunette with short hair, Ivan always wondered how the guy managed to stick out that strange curl of hair, looking at it reminded him of Alfredâs attempts at taming his cowlick.
Ivan chuckled at the thought and nodded at the man.
He had a slight trace of an accent in his voice, Ivan couldn't figure the cause of it just yet, or perhaps he hadn't paid too much attention.
The small badge in the cashier's uniform gave out his name "Feliciano" alongside the badge was a tiny tag of a German flag. That sent Ivan a wave of frustration, the accent wasn't german, he was sure of it.
Feliciano was talking to him but Ivan couldn't focus on his words, he was busy trying not to get hit by the guyâs hands. He had seen it before, when âFelicianoâ was talking excitedly with other customers, he would usually move his hands widely as the speed of his speech increased, making it hard to understand his words. Which was exactly what was happening right now, Ivan had lost track of the guyâs words and now he was talking about a recipe of pasta.
Ivan glanced around, looking for some help from Alfred.
The prospect of going grocery shopping this morning wasn't as dreadful as the night before thanks to the American.
Alfredâs frame could be seen in the entrance, he was asking if he could put the missing cat paper in the front door. Ivan had advised him not to, seeing the place would get too much attention and he didn't want all of the neighborhood to have his number but the American did so anyways.
Ivan turned around only to meet the cashier's backhand with his cheek. Blinking rapidly he heard Feliciano's apologies, the poor guy was quivering in fear, the brunette glanced down before questioning. "Is it your pet, sir?"
Ivan sighed and nodded.
"Perhaps you could place some cat treats around your home, that may help... uhh Boris? To find the way back."
Ivan felt Alfred patting him in the back, snickering softly, the American smiled at the cashier. "That was a good way of snapping or should I say slapping? him back to reality."
Feliciano faltered starting a string of apologies.
Alfred laughed. "It's fine dude, I'm sure Ivan didn't mind, but the treats are such a good idea, thanks, man. I'll get them and you can keep with your good work."
Having Alfred around was a blessing, he could get out of awkward situations so easily.
Once they were out of the store Alfred burst out laughing. "I can't believe he slapped you."
"It was an accident," Ivan said softly, he looked down at the small bag of cat treats, the picture of a fluffy cat with his mouth open while a rain of fish snacks was falling, caught his attention.
Sighing he observed the American climbing back into the car, he looked excited, like a child that has been finally allowed to seat at the front.
Taking the driver seat, Ivan wondered if the americanâs excitement was directed to him, the car or the situation. Pushing away those thoughts, the Russian figured that Alfred was happy to visit his brother, he was driving him to Matthew's house after all.
Alfred gave him a light punch in the arm. âAre you ok? You are zoning out a lot.â
âI'm sorry.â
Alfred took out his phone, typing a message and smiling back at the Russian. âDo you want to visit Matt with me?â
Ivan paused, glancing at Alfredâs bright smile and shook his head. âNo, Alfred, thank you.â
Alfred whined, typing out something on his phone again and pressed. âAre you sure?â
The Russianâs eyes were fixed on the road. âYes. You came on a family visit and I don't want to ruin that.â
âYou won't ruin it. You are family.â
Ivan could see Matthewâs house from where they were, the neighborhood was something the Russian would describe as âcuteâ, some children were playing outside, an old lady walking his small dog, the facade of the house seemed like the perfect family house one would see in christmas movies. Ivan wondered how could Matthew pay for it all, Ivan was supposed to earn more than him.
Parking in front of the house, Ivan gave Alfred a small smile. âI don't think Matthew wants to see me, he is the one doing my work at the moment.â
The American mocked him. His face showing a fake sense of dread and indignation. âOh man, he must be going nuts.â
Ivan chuckled at Alfredâs exaggerated gestures. âProbably, tell him that he can pass some of it to me if he wants.â
Alfred frowned. âNo way, you are on vacation.â
âBut-â
The American exited the car, stating sternly. âNo buts, you won't work on your vacations and that's final.â
Ivan saw him greeting his brother in the entrance, Matthew waved at him and he returned the salute.
The way back seemed longer without Alfredâs chatting. A red light made him stop once again and Ivan swore that he was taking too long to arrive home. Ivan reached the bag of cat treats and inspected it, boredom siping through his being, he should have bought something to eat, or perhaps he should have accepted Alfredâs invitation, anything was better than waiting in a red light while reading the dietary contents of cat treats.
He opened the window, the day was sunny and a bit windy, he could hear the pedestrianâs chit chat, a small kid with his mother was eating ice cream, he smiled at the sight, remembering when Katya would take a walk with him after school when he was younger, Ivanâs smile faltered at the sound of an overly familiar laughter.
His head turning in the direction of the laughter, eyes searching for him out of habit. And there he was, crossing the street, walking hand by hand with someone he didnât know, laughing and smiling warmly, carrying groceries and talking with whomever that was.
It was a matter of seconds, three minutes at best but for Ivan it was an eternity, to watch him pass in front of him, the other guy was shorter than Tolys, blonde, and was carrying a⌠what was that? a purse? a satchel? no, itâs too big for that, is that a cat carrier? was that Boris?
No, he must be confused, Bors was at home after Tolys left. Ivan shook his head and glanced up again, they were gone, well, not gone, they were on the other side of the street, walking further away.
They didnât notice him. Why would they? they seemed so happy, one would usually ignore things or people when being happy, right? one would see only the bright side and the joyful expressions of the other, right?
They were happy, Tolys was happy, thatâs what mattered. They were happy and Ivan was⌠he was fine, not happy but fine.
He resumed his way back Thinking about nothing and everything at the same time.
When he was finally inside of his apartment, a pulsing ache in his heart was oppressing him, and for the first time in years, he felt like letting himself cry. His body seemed to register the fact before he could think about it, his eyes watered and he started sobbing.
After a while, he calmed down, pondering between calling one of his sisters or Alfred, or just serving himself some vodka and going to sleep. He took out his phone, refusing to call right now, his voice would probably be shaky or he would end up crying again. He tried writing to Katya but refrained from it after some attempts, the situation seemed so stupid and yet, there he was feeling like a small hopeless child all over again.
Reaching the fridge seemed like an easier task.
Looking around the kitchen, he glanced at a sticky note placed in the fridge, its bright yellow looked strange in contrast with the dull colors of the kitchen.
Alfredâs scrappy handwriting made Ivan smile again. âNo vodka, unless it is to celebrate something.â The note said.
Ivan took the note carefully, opened the fridge, looking at the full bottle with another sticky note âIâm seriousâ it read.
He stared for a second before noticing another sticky note, this time in a lunch container. âI know what you are thinking, Dumbass. Eat something.â
Ivan chuckled, taking out the container and the notes. Feeling lighter, he opened the food container, to see some chicken nuggets.
The Russian glanced at the nearest window, the day was still sunny and bright.
He sighed, heâd be fine.

wordcount: 21k
notes: ok if u know charlie leclerc from F1, he was the inital reason why i wanted to write this au with yoongi!! think of this as an au with a mix of F1-level type of class and racing, but with a NASCAR type of pit crew that only has five members instead of formula oneâs twenty!! i also asked my close friend for info since sheâs an avid f1 fan to add on to my prior knowledge!! this is a work of fiction and accuracy does nOt always result to fun so pls just enjoy this!!! i also made a poll to what i should write next and this was one of the options and tHEN d-2 dropped and i was !!! ok itâs settled then // pic is from pinterest but i just edited it since it looked like it was shot with a 3210 hihi
also: you can talk to my characters!!! send in an ask anytime :D
(ŕš>âĄ<ŕš)
jungkook, as a person, is an excellent one
heâs talented, heâs kind, heâs driven, heâs gonna buy you your meal when you donât have enough cash on you and would say âyA PAY ME BACK LATERâ but in the end, heâll just wave it off and say ânah i was kidding itâs my treat :Dâ
heâs also h*ndsome but you wonât say that again and again because his ego?? his bragging rights?? what then
jungkook, as a friend, is a fun, attentive, food-inhaling and money-draining carebear that can be pERSUASIVE if he needs to be
he lets u have the last slice of pizza!! or the last pringle or the last pearl in the massive cup of milktea you split with two straws and a giant butter croissant
he holds the umbrella up for the two of you when itâs raining and youâre sharing it
if he feels extra kind then heâll be in the side in which there are more splatters and puddles to go through
if he feels like a sAINT then yes he may piggyback u but only if u hold up the umbrella because heâs a saint not four-arms from ben ten
7/10 times that he screenshots whatâs in his cart but wouldnât checkout, he genuinely just wants to show you because heâs excited and when you dO decide to get it for him, whether it was an actual shock or he just kept sending you screenshots until you got the hint, he makes sure to hug you until you physically canât breathe anymore
he once saw this you liked that didnât become your boyfriend because it turns out you were just a bet and youâre only worth a month of fucking gatorade
youâre not the most confident person ever in the worls but youâre sURE
you are worth more than monthâs supply of glacier freeze for a no thoughts, head empty football jock senior
jungkook was sure too
if ur gonna be an asshat that heâs gonna hate anyway, aTLEAST make it cool blue because that belongs to top tier
he made sure he went to TOWN on that punching bag while looking at that dude
whatever he did, jungkook did with much more power and intensity and he is still maintaning eye contact after the airhead caught on and recognized him
HE NEVER SAW THE DUDE IN THE GYM AFTER
jungkook, as an athlete, is a beast and u gotta admit that
he played basketball in college while u played softball!!!
you were handpicked by your coach if you wanna try out for this once in a lifetime career opportunity aND it was sketchy at first
u kept asking on what was it about but all she said was âthatâs for you to know.,.,., if you wanna accept the offer :))â and you were eventually driven to the edge because you wanted to know so badly
and then it turns out u were the ONLY one in your softball team to be handpicked as she said and then u were instructed to go to the gym in which there were chairs lined up
oh god is this a cult
there were a couple other people too and you could recognize some of them from the swimming team and this girl from weighlifting and that dude from football
they too did not have any idea at aLL
you just decided to sit by the last row... yâknow... just in case....
and then jungkook strolls in confused as fUCK but in the same time excited and he sits beside you because heâs thinking the same thing of what if this was sketchy shit!!
you just knew him then because he looked familiar and you may have seen him asleep in your calc class a couple of times
and also because his hair was peach
how could u possibly forget that aha
âoH i like your uniform!!â
jungkook immediately spoke what was on his mind and pointed to your softball uniform u were still in and then your response was to freeze
ok that might have been too forward and-
âi know right?? oH MY GOD!! i signed up for softball in the first place because the uniform was sO COOL!!â
âbro i joined basketball because i heard that tHE WARMERS WERE SO SOFTâ
:D
and then a friendship was born
the both of you were not thinking anymore about the fact that youâre both in a gym with no instructions whatsoever bc youâre too excited to be talking about whatâs happening!!!
you joined a sport jUST for their uniforms?? oh my god i did that TOO
turns out that jungkook was actually great at basketball and he just knew then
also turned out that u were a gifted natural in softball even if you didnât fully grasp the mechanics at first
âbut when do i oH IS IT MY TIME TO RUN??? no?? not yet?? oh aha yeah i guess i run that fast :Dâ
the two of you bonded so good that it was immediately decided that u are really meant to be friends with each other
sometimes people mistake the both of you as a couple and u know what,,, sometimes the two of you take advantage of that because a fREE DESSERT?? ice cream on the house?? celebratory cake because jungkook one time jokingly went down on one knee and proposed a ring pop to you that he just saw LYING on the ground???
donât mind if u do :)))
jungkook, as a fellow pit stop crew member, is a really comforting (and sometimes annoying) presence
he doesnât question when you get whiney from the fatigue settling in and instead? he just whines with you!!
the impromptu meeting in the gym? it was actually an orientation and introduction to try out for a pit stop crew program for this really really popular racing organization :D
athletes were in-demand because the discipline and the speed and the skills were needed
and you were filtered furthermore and it just ended up with only the handful of you
of course you could opt out but if you do pursue to go through, and if you do exceptionally good, then you might just be one of the two people theyâre gonna hire as a part of the pit stop crew after you graduate!!
god training was rigorous and the practical test was even more nerve-wracking
you were put in pairs and in groups to see how the camaraderie and teamwork would show and bEST BELIEVE THAT YOU AND JUNGKOOK.,.,.
exceptional
breathtaking
best work
not to toot your own horn or anything ://
aha and those two positions? of course it went to the two of you!!
but jungkook, as a fellow pit stop crew member but for your oPPONENT TEAM is beyond irking
you see...
it was guaranteed that you and jungkook would be accepted into the organization
what wasnât guaranteed, however, is that the two of you would be a member of the same pit crew
u found that hIGHLY confusing because what for... you guys saw how kook and i work together.... donât you want that idk intact?????
âhobi-hyungâs gonna win this time. i guarantee you that. i bet you HALF of my food allowanceâ
hobi aka jung hoseok is a force to be reckoned with
you always see him in races and u know enough about him because jungkook just wonât shut up about how great he is!!
heâs a very giggly and joyful person and sometimes you just canât help smiling when you see him getting interviewed over by their spot
kookâs introduced you to hobi a couple of times eagerly now and hobi does not!! forget!! names!!
itâs a lil conflict of interest for you and jungkook to be openly best friends while being in oppositing teams, but that doesnât seem to stop heh
hoseok shook your hand firmly and eVEN added another hand so your hand is sandwiched by his and he has a permanent :D on his face
u immediately got why jungkook was so fascinated and happy to be working with him
âi mean nO offense to hobi, kook, and heâs like a rEALLY really great guy and a great driver and i have tons of respect for him also i totally get why youâre whipped for him bUT-â
âáľáľ Ę°áľĘłáľ ʡᾠáľáľ áľáľáľáśŚâżâ
âheâs great, but not min yoongi great!!â
he already had that coming
how can jungkook not anticipate that when you have said that to him a million times already
that guy barely even talks to you but heâs so chatty with literally Everyone But You
he has a theory
theorieS actually
ok first one is that ur a guardian angel for yoongi
WAIT NO HEAR HIM OUT FOR A SEC
you just gravitate towards him!! you wanna be around yoongi as much as you can in non-stalker way but rATHER in guardian angel ways
you and jungkook are almost always in the same place at the same time given your jobs
also sketchy for kook because it could be seven in the evening and youâd call him using the hotel phone and go
âeY JUNGKOOK do u wanna come with me to this pub :) to celebrate yoongiâs win today :) do you :) please :) say yes pls :)â
ây/n baby hOW many time do i have to remind you that i am yOUR teamâs opponent,,, jung hoseok is the OPPONENT of min yoongi,,,â
â... how many drinks do u wantâ
...
...
âfINE iâm gonna wear a hoodie again and iâll get a cab to tail your teamâs car and iâll come inside the pub five minutes after again and tHEN iâll pretend to bump into you. a g a i nâ
plus you always have the heart eyes for yoongi no matter how blank he is with you or frustrated he gets after a sucky race
second theory: youâre not a guardian angel; you probably just have a crush on yoongi
:O
wait does th is mean that lovers are like angels, and angels are like lovers?
goddamn
omg he shouldâve just become a poet or something
get those hands busy with typing up the same message but in different wordings and nOT lifting up cars under time pressure or change a wheel like your life depended on it
lmao maybe he should become a singer or something
âbut it is true!â
âyou use his name as an adjective now!!â
âlol true the sunset was yoongi todayâ
god jungkookâs thinking if itâs possible to drown himself in this glass of water because eW youâre so in love and for WHAT
âwhatâs tHAT supposed to mean??â
âbeautiful!! câmon jungkook think every now and then!!â
yoongi just isnât a name in the game
he is the name of the game
his dad was a famous racer up until his retirement
and then his grandfather set the family name into racing because boi is he a legend too
AND THEN HERE HE IS
yoongiâs been karting ever since he was like what?? six years old??
ultimately ever since he was a kid, he knew he wanted to do racing too
he just didnât want his familyâs reputation preceding him
(he was also thinking of wAIT do i actually have skills oR do i just have âskillsâ because itâs expected from me)
plot twist he did have skills
he tried out and just had his name as suga
and then when he knocked out those officials and got them sTANDING up from their seats because they really needed what was happening to sink in, thatâs when he just dropped the truth bomb
âoh aHA actually iâm min yoongi!! nice to meet you!!â
he was just talented like that
so talented that he almost went with moto racing instead because he knew how to drive motorcyles!!
rode a bike twice and he immediately went pSH give me a motorbike nOW PLS :((
one time he fell out of balance and dislocated his shoulder and yoongi then decided that will never do that again lmao
the thing is, you havenât had a proper lengthy conversation with yoongi that had some substance to it
itâs your default congratulations and youâre âoMG you killed it out there you were a bEAST!!â and him just going âthanks!â and then walking off
you wanna call him nicknames
if itâs not yoongi, then either itâs sir or itâs mr. min
and itâs no fun :((
how come jungkook can call hoseok HOBI
you really just wish you were as close
sometimes if youâre lucky, yoongi gets your name right!!
itâs okay!! yoongiâs just a little bit reserved with you!! thatâs all!! :)
itâs a race day anyway and you all just headed out to the circuit fairly early
yoongiâs sitting by himself wearing a white shirt underneath his racing suit and uWu he looks so comfy :((
normally in practice days and practice drills, heâd be also sitting by himself as he looks wistful staring out
but no not really
he would pull out his phone a couple seconds later oR pass out and wake up when he feels like falling because one of his talents was to fall asleep sitting
sitting.,.. the seat doesnât even need to have a backrest.,..,
the season is about to end and you dONâT want to pass another season without atleast attempting to invoke some reaction from him with how much you interact with him
you smiled at him more than a hundred times already but he just goes :] and then walks off AGAIN
youâre gonna be proactive!! youâre gonna do these moves!! yOUâRE GONNA OWN IT :D
youâre striding very confidently to where yoongiâs sat and he doesnât take notice because his backâs turned to you and youâre walking too fast and motivated that he probably doesnât hear you
wait maybe you need to back-track a little
âam i â am i supposed to know why youâre giving me a pill and what is this pill?â
maybe you should have done a better way to do this aHa
âw-what?? oH nO NO itâs not â itâs a caffeine pill!!â
yoongiâs mouth forms into a lil :O and he tilts his head, trying to register and find your face in the memory bank for his pit crew
âi just â i just noticed aND uh yâknow itâs not only me?? itâs just that i- we know that you drink coffee a lot and you arenât allowed to drink it when itâs an actual game and not practice, because itâs gonna make you pee-â
maybe you shouldnât be talking about pee
this is the longest (one-sided) conversation youâve ever had with yoongi without him walking away and youâre talking about body fluids!!!!
itâs okay itâs cool
he probably knows what youâre talking about anyway
everything he wears is heavy-duty fire-proof material from his undies to his racing suits aND so does the pit crew
itâs gonna make you sweat a lot!! it was a given
yoongi doesnât drink much water in the first place and he only gulps down liters of it when heâs officially done with his race
he doesnât drink coffee before an actual race either because it just does these things to him
caffeine makes him focused but the particular one that he favors makes him tOO focused
and also coffee makes you pee more than any other!!
plus yoongi swears too that heâs nEVER peed in his racing suit ever and heâs gonna stand by that no matter how much stoopid questions he gets or teases
âpoint is, you can be a liTTLE bit out of yourself when you donât have your fix a-and i mean absolutely nO offense yoongi sir aha mmmmh just!! here!! a caffeine pill!!â
heâs looking down on your palm and he takes into detail that the pill was lying snugly on a bed of pREMIUM tissue paper
hmmm this looks like those soft tissues from his hotel room???? is it just him???
you put it there not oNLY for presentation, but also because giving it to him with your bare hands that are gettin sweaty with how nervous you are is unhygienic
god ur struggles
âjungkook is this tissue tOO crumpled?? like does it look intentional crumple, or like an effortless cUte crumple???â
âare u out of your fucking mind?? oh my gOD no itâs too crumpled!! let me do itâ
y/n!!
thatâs it!! thatâs your name!! youâre y/n!!
yoongi canât believe that thereâs this girl from his pit crew that is giving him a caffeine pill because-
âthis is nice of you. very considerate.â
yo
did yoongi just talk to you
u have officially lowered your goals in life!! you can nOW perish peacefully knowing that yoongi has said something else to you besides âthanksâ :D
he snatches your lil napkin bed and takes the pill and your other hand is a bit lonely because youâre holding a bottle of his special water and-
did he just
did he just swallow a pill dry
people who swallow their pills dry SCARE YOU
they are to be feared honestly
however there are exceptions hehe
tHIS ONLY MAKES YOU WANT TO KNOW YOONGI MORE!!
although you really canât
not when you can literally hear your crew chiefâs footsteps towards you and youâre just smiling through :D
you donât know a park jimin
no you donât aha :D
sometimes denial is the key!!!
ây/n, go do some stretches with your crew.â
sometimes u really really just wanna rattle jimin back and forth
heâs a grumpy crew chief!! a strict one!! one that wouldnât let an ice cream man give out treats, because in his words, it is completely unnecessary
vernon got assigned as ice cream man and his feelings were HURT
jiminâs exceptional, no doubt about that
his strategies coincide well with yoongiâs and it contributes to the winning formula
what you just donât like is how heâs grumpy with almost everyone else, but heâs extra grumpy with you
you offered a piece out of your packet of gummy bear ones
jimin just stared at you up and down, eyes narrowed as he looks as if heâs been offended big-time
âare you trying to woo me with your citric acid obsession?â
woo wHAT
yOU WHAT????
âjIMIN-â
and then he crossed his arms across his chest as youâre trying to reason out that you were just being considerate and nOt trying to woo him!!!
âaish. if youâre gonna woo me, atleast go for a proper attempt. a granola bar. thatâs good. iâm gonna deny you anyway, but atleast that one isnât laughable.â
you cannot
you seriously cannot comprehend wHY is jimin like this
he has this habit of clicking his tongue and shaking his head and THEN walking away
people walking away from you is a trend apparently
âbut jimin i already stretched aND warmed up todayâ
he hums at that but you have a feeling that your words are just going through one ear and out of the other
you just love being chastised by your crew chief in front of yoongi <3
âwith jungkook?â
wait who is jungkook
yoongi suddenly has more interest into this conversation because uh who is jungkook and why does the name itself kinda intimidate him
heâs kinda familiar with the name but nOT the face
:(
is this your thing
is your thing giving out caffeine pills?? this is just a normal occurrence and he shouldnât feel this AWED at the sentiment??
âyeah!! and we did both our warm-ups!! tWICE if i might add!!â
jimin knows about jungkook tho
he knows how youâre best friends and opponents in a technical sense
heâs a little wary of that still but he guesses that it just canât be helped???
thereâs a lot of talk on the field with how great jungkook is as a pit crew member anyway!! they were surely a bit confused too on with how the two of you were separated but itâs for the better (?) anyways considering that youâre both aces
good for hobi
good for yoongi
bAd for jimin!!! and youâre his favorite
his favorite when it comes to scolding even when you particularly havenât done anything
tough love
â.... hmmmmâ
âmmmmmhâ
yoongi feels like he has to add on to the conversation because heâs gotta admit that itâs somehow entertaining
heâll ask jimin later about this jungkook guy anyway :))
âi didnât see it though. do it again.â
smile thru da pain :)))
yoongi placed second in this race though and although that isnât entirely bad, he is still kinda upset because that just means heâs second best :((
hobi placed first!!
heâs all cool about it and yoongi doesnât wanna be bitter but he iS mad at himself for not getting pole position for this race
so for every race for the season, thereâs three qualifying sessions to determine your position in the grid!! if it all adds up and youâre the one with the fastest times, then u become the pole-sitter
acquiring the pole position aka being the pole-sitter puts a driver at an advantage because theyâre first in line!! aND they donât have to weave in between cars at the back and fight for getting ahead
itâs cool thatâs cool :))) yoongiâs got pole position more than a handful times anyway :))) heâs just giving out chances for the others :)))Â
heâs kind like that :)))
[ yoongi is bURNING in the inside tho ]
thereâs what?? like eight more races in this whole championship season?? yeah he could make this work no pressure
the caffeine pill,,, however.,.,.,,
âwell?? how did it work out??â
jungkook is beyond impatient now because you keep getting into telling the story of how it went with yoongi but you jUST kept getting distracted
itâs only fair because yah the race just ended and you and jungkook didnât opt to go back to the hotel with your teams so you could eat out from the stalls here after a really tiring day!! you deserve it!!
âokAy so like i was really nervous, yeah?? so i walked and then oOOOOOH CHEESY BEEF FRIES!! jungkook look omg cHEESy beef fries!! hold on lemme-â
you are aging jungkook and he swears by that
ânO no!! here!!! i already bought them!!! can you just oH my god!! y/n please stand STILLâ
heâs holding you still with both of his hands grounding your shoulders wHILE his hands are still holding up his food and drinks and none of them are spilling?
thatâs: talent
heâs been antsy ever since you texted him before the race started that youâre diving in head-first without a proper plan!! he was writing an elaborate plan in bullet points on his dotted notebook and tHen youâre telling him that youâre gonna dive straight in??
first of all how dare u
second of all pLEASE just tell him how it went
âfive bites of fries, two minutes of telling how it went.â
ok he is a really great negotiator and also youâre already shoving like three in your mouth so this is more favorable than what he bargained for
jungkook does find you a pain in the ass sometimes like there is nO denying that absolutely
but he can attest to the fact that you are a GREAT storyteller
like damn your emotions?? hand gestures?? how youâd eVEN switch positions so he could get visuals of how it went down?? perfection like so good that jungkook feels so flustered because omg?? so tHIS is why you have a crush on yoongi aha
youâre not gonna lie,, jungkook sometimes decreases your lifespan for a solid seven months at the least
but youâre lying too when you say that he isnât a dAMN good listener/audience
his doe eyes get even bigger and he is dang expressive and heâs never insincere and doesnât exaggerate tOO much to the point that itâs obnoxious!!
and he doesnât pick any story of yours!! he is vERY genuine!!!
[ sputters while drinking his iced tea ] âjimin cockblocked aGAIN???â
[ crouches to the floor when you went out to the mall alone because he didnât want to and ended up meeting owen wilson, the guy who voiced lightning mcqueen ] âWHAT??????? YOU WHAT????? YOUâRE TELLING ME WHAT???????â
[ sobs because he didnât meet owen wilson ] âiâm just so *wails* iâm just rEGRETTING every *heaves* single decision i made a-and *fans tears* i shouldâve just went with you :(((â
[ giggles and shrieks continuously for ten minutes and keeps hugging you because you bought him those big boots that you call romper stompers for his birthday ] âyou did nOT!! oh my god theyâre really mine?? MINE??? youâre telling me that these are mINE now??? omg omg i could die rn y/n i swear i LOVE YOU!!! iâm not gonna step on u i swear :(( thank you thank you :(((â
yoongi couldnât be anymore smiley
like sure enough, his mind should only stay in the game when he is in the game
he canât think about what he wants for dinner later that night or let his thoughts drift because otherwise, hEâS the one thatâs going to drift
but maybe
just maybe when heâs at the last stretch and hobiâs already crossed the finish line and the closest driver behind him is like lmao a kilometer away
he just canât help thinking about you!! and the napkin bed you made for his caffeine pill!! and how he doesnât get why heâs never talked to you before because like youâre cute n all :D
heâs never seen a pit crew member talk back to jimin like that before and yeah sure youâre playful but not overstepping it ya know
âso jimin,,, y/n, amirite?â
jiminâs a lil bit confused because uhhh yoongi has never talked to him
about you before but heâs not that bothered
â... yeah?â
...
...
âjimin this is the part where you tell me about y/nâ
âhow was i supposed to know? you only said her name!! is that like a signal or wHAT??â
âcouldnât i be anymore obvious??â
the bottom line is that yoongi got a crash course when it came to you and he couldnât be any more grateful for jimin
heâs also confirmed that jungkook isnât ur boyfriend but thatâs kinda debatable because jimin added an âiâm not eNTIRELY sure thoughâ and yoongi hates him for it!!
thereâs just something about yoongi that you canât shake off
and you donât wanna fall that deep because itâs just a crush!! just a harmless crush and u know you arenât probably gonna stand a chance :((
although youâre just gonna keep that to yourself because kook will probably lecture you for five minutes and THEN smack you in the head because youâre bringing yourself down again
jungkook knows youâre a natural ace like câmon yoongiâs just gonna be a piece of cake!!
yeah sure yoongi doesnât initiate conversation with your or barely holds eye contact and can barely remember your name, only recalls you as part of his team, and can be ignoring the things youâre doing for him bUT I MEAN THATâS NOT ALWAYS THE DETERMING FACTORS, RIGHT??right??
pls say right
jungkookâs convincing himself as much as youâre convincing yourself that u have a chance with yoongi
you canât help it :((
you love that smile!! that smile when he knows how good heâs done that he automatically could tell that heâd be getting an extra point since heâs the one who was the fastest on that lap!or that laugh when he pops out a cork of champagne once again and heâs getting the hang of it
his calm demeanor looks so cute even when he isnât even doing anything in particular and how it could be so hot especially when his stareâs just rigid
youâve been in celebratory going out parties in bars with your team to know that yoongiâs just boisterous and chatty when he gets drunk
he even gets cLINGY to whoeverâs sitting beside him and itâs usually jimin and he can even make jimin yield to having oNE more shot with him :((
in meetings too!!!
yoongiâs personal style is just mostly black and sometimes when heâs feeling spicy, heâd add in some random pastels or perhaps even a small nEON detail
his cheeks tooyou just wanna kiss them so bad :(((
theyâre so plump and full whenever he pouts and smiles and you have to gRIP your fist just to get rid of the l*nging in your system
YOONGI HAS PIERCED EARS TOO
MULTIPLE PIERCINGS!!!youâve never seen him wear earrings tho and thatâs saddening
jewelry, most especially on drivers, is just a big no-no because just in cAse the driver catches on fire or not, itâs still a big hazard
you once saw yoongi walking in the hallway just as you were about to exit the elevator to go to ur hotel room and he was wearing a wATCH
u almost went feral goddamn
you see yoongi again after your caffeine pill advance on him? a necklace, maybe? those thick chain bracelets like the ones jungkook wears? him wearing rings? it could be a blinged-out diamond band or a heart-shaped plastic ring from a kinder egg and you would sTILL GO FERAL
âi just wish â j-just wish that red string lovers exist in real life, yâknow, kook?? do you get what iâm saying?â
jungkook wishes that was a real thing too
youâre just a bit vulnerable because u have some alcohol in your system
a little bit emotional
meanwhile jungkook is just straight up bland and is up for no fun
three-drink jungkook is boring
you should see five-drink jungkook!! hEâS A WILD ONE that could backflip with a 70% success rate of not throwing up after
âi do. i wish that red string lovers do exist. kind of like that movie, kimi no nawa. i love that movie.â
...
â... jungkook. omg a-are you saying i should like, tie a red string on my pinky and tHEN on yoongiâs pinky!! in this way, i could always be connected to him and weâre like never gonna stay away from each other!!â
...
âi believe that would be called stalking.â
âno i meant fIGURATIVELYâ
this three-drink jungkook is no fun
what youâre gonna do is get him to drink more because the motto for pit crew members is âdrink as if itâs your last because it IS!!!â
drinking kinda messes up workout routines and the semi-strict diet the members are put on to ensure youâre all strong and enduring
so drinking is just reserved for wins or when the crew chief allows it and MAYBE just maybe when you and kook decide to get a lil sip and sharing a can wonât hurt :D
âokay, okay. another one!! drink another one!!â
you have to physically make jungkook drink because he doesnât wanna hold the shot glass claiming that itâs too dirty and before he gets iffy even more, you just bring the glass to his lips and even put a hand underneath his chin because you are tHAT great of a friend
sometimes you just need to credit yourself for being a really great best friend to jungkook
four-drink jungkook is a BUNNY
heâs starting to ascend to his five-drink state and therefore through the process, heâs crinkling his nose more
the nose crinkle and the smile that highlights his two front teeth has always been in effect but this oneâs just more persistent
he doesnât hop like a bunny tho or like even stand because thatâs six-drink dance bot jungkookâs moves
instead
he just-
cHOMPFS
jungkookâs just biting down on your shoulder SOFTLY
the same gentleness of a golden retriever with an egg on its mouth!!heâs not nibbling or biting down or anything!! heâs just oMPH :D
thereâs no rhyme or reason to why heâs doing this and youâre unsure either lmao youâve told him before what he does drunk when heâs sober and he goes?? lol what i do tHAT???
you donât mind honestly
youâre thankful that youâre wearing a black hoodie and itâs made with a fluffy cotton material!! itâs a win-win and u can even feel jungkook smiling
the alcohol isnât hitting you JUST yet but u. r aware that youâre getting a tad more chatty now and then suddenly youâre telling jungkook a summary of this sugar stars episode in which they were supposed to make cupcakes for this luxury jewelry brand and in oNE of the cupcakes there should be like a necklace worth thousands of dollars bUT THEY FORGOT IF THEY ALREADY PUT IT IN THE BATCH AND-
âhey, is this guy bothering you, y/n?â
you hear a velvety voice interrupting you and itâs oddly familiar
said person extends his hand to put on your shoulder and you kinda jolt at the sudden contact and itâs just goosebumpsâ.... yoongi?â
:O
yoongiâs on your left side and u could clearly see him nowhE LOOKS LIKE HEâS ABOUT TO SQUARE UP
i mean truth be told he wASNâT supposed to be here because after placing 3rd he just didnât wanna go part because for wHAT and he wanted to go to bed instead
but them jimin called him and asked if he was sure because like... the entire team is here and the owner of the bar is a FAN and all drinks are on the house so,,,
he jUST got here and while he was looking for jimin, the first thing he sees is the back of your head (heâs memorized it hehe) and a guy bITING DOWN ON YOUR SHOULDER and yours hands are gesturing and shit
and so heâs beyond confused to see you confused over seeing him all confused and perhaps protective
âyoongi!!â
u practically squeal and ur not gonna hide that
although he just ignores that because heâs focused on some more pressing matters at hand
âman, seriously, what the fuck? can you just back off-â
yoongi is literally about to pull jungkook away from you because up to now this dude is NOT reading the room and the fact that he is 2 seconds away from decking him
âno nO yoongi!! itâs okay lol heâs my best friend! heâs not-â
thereâs a delay on words sinking to jungkookâs ears so heâs just now reacting lmao
âmfhsIR thif if mY EMOFYONAL FUPPORT MFFSHOULDERâ
jungkookâs angrily lifting his eyes but not his face with it so heâs-
oH THATâS YOONGI :D
âthis is my friend whoâs kinda drunk and bITES my shoulder when heâs drunk aha jungkook!! say hi, ggukâ
âhI YOOMGIIII!!! iâm jungmkook :Dâ
kook takes a quick second to lift himself off your shoulder to give an eager wave to yoongi
oH that face is familiar
jungkook?
jungkook jungkook oH THIS IS THE JUNGKOOK HE ASKED JIMIN ABOUT
whew
honestly he was kinda scared because when yoongi got a closer look when he was fuming, jungkook looked like a big buff guy and he was a little scared because-oh jungkook just went back to biting your shoulder ://
âi thought you werenât gonna come?â
âi thought i was gonna fight sOMEONEâ
hehe
you canât help but feel a lil bit happy that omg yoongi cares for u
and although heâs mistakened jungkook as a pervert whose modus operandi is to bite at shoulders, itâs still the thought that counts!!!!
your right shoulder that has kook attached to it feels indifferent and your left shoulder that yoongi touched for a second is ON FIRE
be still, be calm. be still, be calm. be still, be â OMG YOONGI IS SITTING BESIDE YOU FUCK
âitâs jungkook, right?â
he, for sure, knows that it is jungkook alright but he just wants to ask u know
just to be sure
although youâre kinda oblivious to the fact that heâs directing the question to you more than to jungkook himsELF bc youâre very much swayed by his gummy smile
âyeah!! heâs jungkook, alright :Dâ
âthis might be a stupid question to ask but uh iâve just never seen him oR like maybe it might just be my memory but jungkookâs in our team, right??? or like nO?â
âo-oh aHA about that yoongi,, sir,, actually jungkook isnât in our team, ya know? but he DOES support us and is like whoosh a fAN of you :))â
he is having too much fun with this one
âreally? but i saw him in the box before, with you, i think? lol u silly goose if you have a boyf-â
âjUNGKOOK ISNâT MY BOYFRIEND! he never was!! yoongi trust me i am very single right now i mean it!! 100%â
âare you sure? like-â
âheâs just my best friend ever since college and weâre not a thing i sWEAR!! you see him in the box sometimes because he just needs someone to buy him nachos from the stalls aND heâs a pit stop crew member for jung hoseok-â
youâd like to think that you are diffusing this situation very well
â-and that tOTALLY doesnât matter because pfft?! i donât even know jung hoseok like wHAAAAAT does he uhm race or sth?? whew am i right lmao can i get an amen? áľËĄË˘ ˢáľĘ¸ ˢáľáľáľáľĘ°áśŚâżáľ áľËĄË˘â
yoongi already knows this bit of information and his eye does twitch at the mention of hoseok like how mr. bean is with mozambique but itâs COOL seeing you flustered is getting a really cheesy smile out of him
âdo you rap?â
âno but do you want me toâ
yoongi snorts and giggles at that and meanwhile you are getting THE nervous sweats because obviously you werenât prepared for this
damn it :( you shouldâve just kept jungkook sober so he could âwingman the fUCK out of youâ in his own words
the only thing you could do thatâs the closest to rapping is have jungkook beatbox in the background while u go bow chicka wowow bow cHICKA WOW :((
âyouâre funny.â
yoongiâs still kinda dying at giggling throughout the whole interaction but he really means it sincerely ok
QUICK IS THAT A COMPLIMENT OR AN INSULT
âthanks :))â
fUck it you shouldâve just said a one-liner or something, not a timid thanks or would that be trying too hard
you are getting too panicked and nervous now and the only out you see is-
âggukie!! you want another drink?â
bless up
bless jungkookâs soul for immediately agreeing and before you know it, youâre lifting another shot glass to his lips with a hand underneath his chin
youâre gonna help him with his hangover tomorrow because heâs saving yOUR ass by easing the tension of how pATHETICALLY nervous you are with yoongi
yoongiâs persevering too because this jungkook guy has hands.. what?? does he drink his water from a formula bottle??? DOES HE NEED MILK
chile why is he getting jealous
itâs not like heâs become fond of you nor got attached to this girl that gave him a caffeine pill placed on a napkin bed after much observation of him and the sentiment behind it just makes him mushy
lol
couldnât be him :))
:)
...
....
SIKE ITâS HIM THATâS HIM :(((
âYOOOOOOONGIIIIIIIIIII!!!â
oh godÂ
oh no
itâs a drunk jimin :(
a drunk, happy, gIGGLY JIMIN
âY/NNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!â
youâre quite surprised at the sight because uH youâre used to jimin the grumpy crew chief
nOt jimin the giggly person whoâs giggling at the little rainbows ur bracelet makes when the light hits it and whoâs complimenting your hoodie sO HARD
mom come pick me up im scared
ây/n O-M-G where did you get those earrings because they r the bomb dot COMâ
âjimin what did u drink because i am LOVING itâ
âa pomelo gin mix or like fOUR of them.â
yoongi answers for jimin because he knows all too well
woop jiminâs hugging him now and his grip is tight o-okay i guess iâll... keep you... still?
itâs not jiminâs fault :( he just likes pretty drink i mean could u blame him :(((
âaish those pack a punch for sure. you could barely taste the gin because of the juice-â
â-but it gets you drunk nonetheless no matter how much you drink it.â
:D
:D
you and yoongi are straight up CONNECTING right now vibing if u will
âyeah and some light it up on fire then take it out so it would taste smoother and seamless!!â
thatâs it heâs had enough yoongi will propose to you rIGHT NOW he thought he was the only one who knew that fact
oR KNEW THE DIFFERENCE
or knew the reason for it that isnât just to make it look cool
oh man you feel so sorry for pegging yoongi as just one of those âall beers taste the sameâ dudes in senior year :âââ)
âjUNGKOOOOOOOK!!!â
jimin kinda ruins the moment by opening his mouth being all excited as he points excitedly to look at whoâs beside you
âYOOOOOOOOOONGIIIIIII!!!!â
âoh oh! shh!!! youâre not supposed to be here but itâs ok jungkooooook!!! iâll just close my eyes!!!â
âh-hey guys *hiccup* have you seen jimin? because i canât see him!!â
thatâs not... thatâs not how it works...
jungkook is giggling so hard and jiminâs gonna roll over anytime if it isnât for yoongi holding him
âomg jungkookâs earrings look like windchimes :Dâ
ây/n omg jIMINâS RIGHT! they do look like windchimes :Dâ
âi bet they also sOUND LIKE WINDCHIMES :Dâ jiminâs leaping out of yoongiâs hold eagerly and the both of u just know that this is gonna go bad
heâs about to faceplant because heâs slipping the moment he decided to break free
itâs a good thing youâre catching him and jiminâs embracing you now while
his legs are slack on the floor and jungkook the drunk dumbass thought it was an emergency
and in times of emergency apparently, jungkookâs move is try and hop on your back for a piggyback rideâokay, okay, time to get off y/n now!!â
yoongi chuckles as he pries jimin off of you and onto himself instead
jungkook sTILL wonât give up into having a piggyback ride from you hmp
âhey, wanna split an uber?
âyou like that idea very much :Dâwhoâs gonna sit with them at the back, though?â
âyou can give me your number and iâll volunteer tribute :))â:D
thatâs good
this is good
yeah sure yoongi mightâve had to sit in the middle of jimin and jungkook that are messes
and has to endure it when young, wild and free by wiz khalifa came on aND
jimin went owo âyoung sound like yoongi omgâ
and jungkook went and followed and the whole lyrics were yoongi wild and yoongi free
but thatâs ok
thatâs okay!!!
he had to say goodbye to you two floors early because thatâs where jungkookâs room is and u need to tuck him in
the most he could do was walk you to the door while having a sleepy jimin use him as a crutch
all worth it though :))
âthanks for tonight, yoongi :))â
and thereâs just this tentative silence because the both of you kinda felt dejected because you didnât want tonight to end, truthfully
you press a tentative lil kiss on his cheek and
:O
âgood night.â
yoongiâs cheek is tingling aHHHHHH HEâS ABOUT TO BURST
thatâs so precious
YOUâRE SO PRECIOUS
alcohol doesnât fix everything bUT ON RARE OCCASIONS IT COULD BE A BRIDGE
jungkook woke up with a killer headache because apparently when you and yoongi werenât looking, jimin let him have a sip of his drink and he was immediately :O
but you did lessen it to an amount!!!!!
he could barely register what happened last night but what he did remember is yOONGI
just yoongi
aND THAT MEANS HE COULDNâT REMEMBER UR LITTLE CHEEK KISS :D
eventually youâd tell him but not now
jungkookâs all smiles when you were telling him on how you tucked him to bed and eVEN caved into giving him a piggyback ride
your explanation of you making him drink a full bottle of water and then some more is the reason to why he felt bloated and every time he moved in his deep sleep he was just sLOSHING around
although you didnât get to do his skincare routine on him because he likes tapping his face
and tapping jungkookâs face while heâs drunk is like choosing death because heâd think that there were little ants on his face and heâd freak the fUck out
so you just took a makeup wipe to get the dirt off his face and put on a face mask!! minimal effort!! maximum results!! efficiency :D
yours and jiminâs dynamic is chANGING FOR THE BETTER heâs getting warmer to you now!!!
you did tease him one time about the pomelo gin drink and he glared at you
but then you whispered to his ear
âif itâs between your choice of pomelo pink gin and yoongiâs whiskey? iâd pick pink gin all the way :Dâ
jimin gasped out loud
friendship? bUILDING
you and yoongi??
safe to say that youâre on the closer side :D
i mean tECHNICALLY you arenât on the commitment boat yet or like⌠you havenât had a date yetâŚ. or held handsâŚ..
but youâre getting there!!! iTâS A PROCESS
youâve always been his supporter in the sidelines but now u r a full-pledged cheerleader for him in the moments that you arenât tending to his car or tending to work
practice sessions are held starting two days before the race
itâs literally just for practice and itâs for the driver to get familiar and to test out some things that may need to be tweaked furthermore
this is the only time the drivers get to drive the cars besides the actual race itself
and the race is held on sunday!!!!
two practice sessions on friday that last one and a half hours each
and a final practice session on saturday that lasts for an hour
obviously youâre there
bUT when youâre not in use, you just completely revert to cheering for yoongi by the barrier!!!âGO YOONGS!!!!!â
jimin sends you a look to keep it down because even though he has his headphones on he could sTILL hear you
you shut up of course but not without waving your hands in the air whenever yoongiâs car comes into your view :D
in qualifying sessions too!!! these are to determine the driverâs grid positions in the actual race
and eVERY driverâs goal is to earn pole position, the front-most and most advantageous position from the starting line!!!
pole position doesnât automatically mean that youâre the winner but it does help the driver to ace at that closer!!!
you shut up in qualifying sessions because in fact, youâre nervous too there are six more races to this whole season and each one is important because yoongi and hobi?? theyâre just neck-to-neck with their scores and although yoongiâs on the lead, he could nEVER BE COMPLACENT
yoongiâs pole-sitter undoubtedly with his performance and then could you breathe a sigh of relief :))
heâs stripping his racing suit slightly and by that he means taking off the velcro and getting the zipper undone and taking off his balaclava and
oBVIOUSLY his helmet
fact: race suits are extremely light but are sO HOT
yeah sure thereâs been upgrades to it and that it has cooling properties now but u canât exactly feel that when youâre gonna be in it for atleast an hour doing a proper race
his routine lately is going sTRAIGHT to you after he finishes whatever heâs doing
âyou didnât cheer me on :((â
âthatâs because i was too busy rooting for you in my mind :))â
âwell then root for me with your mOUTHâ
âwhatâ
âwHAT??â
yoongiâs just being a little petty and cranky, thatâs all
it doesnât mean that he doesnât give much affection, he automatically doesnât want to rECEIVE it :(((
admittedly, youâre kinda cutting off from the physical affection with yoongi lately because jungkook quizzed you and youâre pretty sure that you were in a default :O after
âwho texts first?â
âme!! our schedules donât exactly match up because he has a different trainer than our pit crew does but i just wanna wake up extra early to send him a text :))â
âwho sleeps earlier?â
âyoongi!! lmao he loves resting whenever he can aND he even brings this diffuser with him whenever we gor from hotel to hotel!!â
âwho goes to who more frequently?â
âoOoOhhh i love visiting yoongi!!! whenever i surprise him he just looks so shocked and eventually it sinks in to himâ
âwho exerts more effort?â
âkook i â oH.,..,.â
of course jungkook is so happy for you because look at you!! you went from admiring yoongi from afar to hanging out with him actively and even going so far as to have him kiss your cheek once!!
but no matter how supportive he is, he jus wants to be as realistic too because he doesnât want you hurt
yes he admires how you are with him but like mAYBE youâre far in too deep and yoongi is not on the same level
and so you just came to the conclusion that maybe you were just being too enthralled in it to not see that yoongi doesnât find the concept of you
and him together as desired as you found it to be
:((
and so maybe youâve been detaching yourself lately
you stay in bed sleeping for as long as youâd like, and the only alarm clock you have is jimin ringing the bell on your door to let you know that training
was to start
jimin quickly catched on to what you were doing because heâs seeing less of you around yoongi??? surprisingly???
and he just couldnât keep it in to not know what was happening so he asked jungkook
then jungkook was positively surprised and happy because jimin???? coming to him personally to ask???? omg he is gonna spill of course and so jimin was like eh⌠itâs the least i could do i guessâŚ.
five rings of the doorbell to wake you up
seven rings to let you know that trainingâs gonna start in ten minutes
ten rings to oPEN YOUR DAMN DOOR
you didnât linger around yoongi unnecessarily and you werenât sending those specifically niche templates you see on instagram that make you laugh
he doesnât receive the âyouâre a daughter of an astronaut and a swimmer and youâre not sure which aesthetic to pick because youâre too dizzy from accidentally inhaling chlorine in the big-ass man-made pool since you intern at nasa and u just need to lie downâ lookbooks :(
he thought of it as nothing at first because eh theyâre just little things!!! he barely notices anyway
WRONG
yoongi feels so devastated because why :(( wonât :(( you just :(( hUG HIM OUT OF THE BLUE LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO
these days he feels so on edge because aHa!! anytime now, y/nâs gonna hug me :D
but then you dONâT
yoongi put on extra perfume because you like burrowing your nose to his neck whenever you hug him and wHY arenât you hugging him
wait maybe itâs the perfume thatâs throwing you off??
nevermind heâs gonna buy another hundred-dollar bottle of a different perfume itâs ok nO WORRIES and sometimes you donât join the team breakfast and yoongiâs all lost
because hMmM??? i got u these pancakes a-and i already put the butter and the syrupâŚ.. why arenât you hereâŚ
youâre with jungkook and his team knows about your friendship and how it came to be and theyâre all just eH itâs okay y/nâs cool anyways :))
hobiâs so kind
jungkook sits in the same table as hobi and therefore that means you sit beside kook and u have no choice because he WILL insist
not because youâre his friend but also because heâs too lazy to stand and get another serving so heâll just steal some from your plate
hobi eVEN offers to refill your glass with orange juice because his is gone too and heâs gonna get more anyway :))
yoongi canât go over it though and heâs just wallowing because first, hoseokâs aiming for his title that he wants to retain, and nOW HOSEOKâS COMING FOR HIS Y/N???
ok his might be a little bit of a reach because he hasnât asked you out yet but he iS getting there
he swears that he feels so lost without u :((
and so yoongiâs persistent and he vouched his day-off to be aligned with your gym day aaaand heâs here now :D
heâs right behind you!!
âhiii.â
yoongi squeezes in on the space left at your side
well you dIDNâT expect yoongi today clearlyâhi pls back up a little i mAY accidentally kick you :Dâ
youâre doing pull-ups at the moment and youâre getting the hang of doing them!! even if this used to be the bane of your existence in your workout program and youâd sell your soul just for jungkook to call you and cry on the phone and pretend he stubbed his toe or something to get out of training
so tHATâS yoongiâs greeting??? :((
âi havenât seen you latelyâ
âhmm? i see you everyday, yoongsâ
ârEALLY??â
youâre only discovering now that while doing pull-ups, you can aLSO make and maintain conversation!!
yoongiâs a bit sarcastic because your full attention isnât on him and he guesses that itâs a given when youâre working out bUt are you even hearing what heâs saying :((
âdoesnât feel like it, though.â
ok that one made you falter a little bit
âhow can you say??â
he practically huffs at that and that also goes noticed
how can you not know that???
heâs a patient person but with you, he just gets sO eager and whiney and now he just canât cope!!!
just when he thought you were finally go down because you were slowing your movements, you were oNLY doing that just to regain your momentum for another set AND!!!
fine then :))
yoongiâs jumping up and his hands wrap around the higher bar snugly, his body pressed to yours
heâs so close oh my god yOONGIâS SO CLOSE TO YOU
youâre suspended in air and a bit breathless and yoongiâs just hanging slack and heâs about to burst into a smile because uH success!!!
his lips look so kISSABLE and his cheeks are plump and his eyes are v enchanting and wHEW youâre sweating at this point and itâs nOt from working out
yoongi only tilts his head as he earns the reaction he wanted and more :D
âwhoâs your trainer? sehun?â
ây-yeaHh???â
âmâkay.â
heâs not content just yet and for a split second, yoongi tilts his face to the side of yOUR face and his lip barely brush to the shell of your ear
âiâll pull you out of this one. eat lunch with me.â the sound of yoongi dropping back down to the floor makes you jOLT because oh.,., oh that rEALLY DID JUST HAPPEN HUH
what a menace
your heart is too weak for yoongi
you are sO whipped :âââ)
so whipped that you cave into jungkookâs demands
jungkookâs aLWAYS been your sticker guy
he just has stickers⌠that he either makes or acquires but he isnât telling where from⌠and either gives or sells them to u
he has this label maker too that could print your name on or whatever you want to put on your stuff
he would even input little stars or little hearts or even lil dinosaurs if you want him to!!!
you donât know how and why but wHEREVER you go, jungkook always has stickers on him
AND THIS IS REALLY SPECIAL OK
you specifically told jungkook to curate like a ten-pack out of the things you told him about yoongi
he has the reigns aS LONG as he thinks (and it better be) that it screams min yoongi!!
itâs just that you wanna give gifts to yoongi and you donât need aNY occasion just to give presents
you were deep in thought and your head blanked and then wentâŚ
stickersâŚ. get him stickers
snickers???
âŚ. stickers âŚ.
sNEAKERS???
âŚ. stickers dUMB BITCH i said stickers!!!! âŚ..
lol u love ur mind
and when you said that to jungkook, he fell both honored AND pressured like what if yoongi decides not to like you anymore because of your (his) sticker choices
what then
damn ur wrong for this
jeez jungkookâs becoming the backbone of your blossoming relationship ://
sigh but itâs cool,, jungkookâs used to becoming a fundamental part to society
jungkookâs ringing your bell so early in the morning because he just got done last night with completing his collection!! and you iMMEDIATELY need to see it as per his insistence
ok they r pretty cool
thereâs yoongiâs name in a really cool yet sophisticated font that just screamed yoongi to you!!
thereâs Agust D in a big bold formal font!! you remember that story of how yoongi was born and raised briefly in daegu then they had to move and he misses his hometown
he was about to use Agust D as his name when he first tried out for racing but the name itself made so many heads turn so he was just,,, too spicy,,,
iâll make it suga
OMG YOUR INITIALS
jungkookâs wild for that one but omg youâre giggling because wow u like that
âclouds?? and the skyâs purple??â
âi think eVERYBODY likes cloudsâ
âwell some pilots donâtâ
âwhat makes them think that clouds like them back?â
wait
âa cat??⌠flipping me off???â
âlol ok funny story but yoongi flipped me off once LMAOOOâ
â⌠he did whatâ
âiâll tell u the story later but this, THIS â okay i donât know if itâs just me, but yoongi looks like a cat, yâknow?? like i sWEAR i could see cats in him, and then i see him in cats. do you get me??â
âgguk-â
âand he wears headbands, right? LOOK I EVEN DREW HIM A HEADBAND!! :Dâ
ok you arenât gonna lie
this ten-pack goes pretty fucking hard if you may say so
âhow much do i owe you, kook?â
âthat would be fifty dollars :Dâ
âfifty wait wHAT?? FIFTY DOLLARS?? WHAT??? JUNGKOOK SAY SIKEâ
psh atleast it was worth a shot
âfine. tHIRTY dollars.â
âTHIRTY DOLLARS?????â
you know for a fact that these ten stickers aRENâT worth tHIRTY DOLLARS
the highest jungkookâs ever charged you is $10 for a pack of ninety-nine he even took one from the sticker booklet and he only said that after he sold it to u
you both know that these arenât $30 :((
itâs always a take it or leave it situation because you know hobi is a sucker for stickers :((
ââŚ. fine.â you pull thirty dollars from your wallet and thatâs thirty dollars ur never gonna get back
jungkookâs a bit frazzled because wHAT
you actually gave him tHIRTY dollars??
they donât even cOST _____ dollars!!!
itâs just awkward now when he tries to take back what he said
â⌠as a special gift.,.,. iâm gonna put them.,.,. in a nice envelope.,., that i uh doodled hearts onâŚâ
quick if jungkook was a seller on redbubble, how many stars would you rate him
this better have a gREAT PAYOFF
spoiler alert: it did!!!
YOONGI LOVES THEM
âi mean iâm not saying you should put these on your race car because i kNOW every gram matters on it and like â sTICKERS!! u can stick them anywhere am i right :Dâ
:O
âdo you uh,, do you like it? ËĄáľĘ¸ ᜌᾠáľáľĘˇâż áľáľâżáľËĄĘ¸ áľâż áľáľ áľËĄáľáľË˘áľâ
ây/n bABY ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? i love them sO MUCH!! like look aH OMG ITâS ME THATâS â IâM SUPPOSED TO BE THIS CAT RIGHT???â
it went great!!!
above and beyond than what you expected
âthank you thank you dO YOU KNOW that youâre the best eVER :(((â
yoongi is so touched and awed over a pack of sTICKERS and itâs the little joys and you that make him the happiest
heâs so excited and pumped because he canât pick on where to put them because theyâre so precious and in the same time he doesnât wanna use them because theyâre tOO precious
yoongiâs about to kiss your cheek in the same time you wanna explain some of them and-
oh
heâs kissing the corner of your mouth
he only realizes when you squeak a little and he feels just so unexplainable with pure bliss thatâs going through his body omg
and then yoongi pulls away to gauge your reaction because he was iNITIALLY gonna go for a cheek kiss but now thatâs out of the bank because he wants more and-
oh god his cheeks are already on fire and tHIS WAS JUST A KISS TO THE CORNER OF YOUR MOUTH ACCIDENTALLY
itâs time to clear his throat and attempt to clear his mindâis uHhH sehun?Â
sehun the trainer today?â
âyeaH itâs sehunâŚâ
yoongi please say what i want you to say
pleathe
âi can â i cAN bail you out, if you want.,.. you uH ˢʰᜌᾠdo you wanna go karting with me?? like, right now??? itâs okay if you donât wanna bUt i mean áś áľáśáľ uhHhH-â
âyeah :)) i wanna go karting with you :))â
yoongiâs a mess and hEâS the nervous one now and he keeps scratching the back of his neck and he canât maintain eye contact
he was about to explain that heâs not pressuring you wait dID YOU JUST SAY
âyes?? yeah?? oH thatâs cool :Dâ
âdo i need to get changed or-â
i mean youâre still in your workout leggings and a big black shirt jungkook has an aBUNDANCE of so u just stole one and tried out embroidery!!
itâs not the best aha
kinda ugly because itâs massive on you and u just take it off whenever the workout progresses to be harder
âno!! no!! donât worry!! iâll bring my backpack!! just take yourself, y/n, iâll take care of you ʡáľáśŚáľ ʡáľáśŚáľ aHA!!! iâll pack my shirts for you and water and like snacks omg i will be back in fIVE minutes!!!â
thereâs kinda no protest since yoongiâs already dashing out of your hotel room and into his⌠and heâs leaving you alone and he swears that this will only take fIVE minutes
heâs a nervous wreck
but yOU are too
because wait
this is your first date!!
THIS COUNTS AS YOUR FIRST DATE
oh god you are gonna cOMBUST
it did take five minutes and perhaps even earlier!!
yoongiâs managed to even get a cap for you and sUNBLOCK
he has a driver hired and thatâs kinda ironic because hEâS the driver but he doesnât mind!!!
heâs sitting with you at the second row and youâve never really properly been out the city ever since you got here because leisure trips arenât exactly in your schedule
the buildings and the scenery are so cool and authentic and yoongiâs just staring at you as you stare out :(((
why are you so beautiful :(((
heâs envisioned taking you out for go-karting as your first date but nOT NOW
yoongiâs accidentally kissed you once on the corner of your mouth and he is now forever a changed man
his mind immediately went wOOP take y/n karting nOW
yoongi has a pinterest board with ideas for a first date
picnics are cute but thereâs just so much aNTS and mosquitoes and flies would go to ur food when you turn away for a single second!!!
not to mention that he never checks the weather reports lmao
and grass with how soggy they could he eVEN if it didnât rain???
disgusting
thereâs always the option of dinner dates too
but sometimes they could be just SO boring and itâs a hit or miss whether youâd like the food because you donât like overly fancy restaurants yâknow
not to mention that they r overrated and the food isnât that good to your taste bUT maybe thatâs just you
heâs searched this place up a couple days ago and look!!! they have karts that have tWO seats on them
maybe he could rent out the place or pull out the âno itâs MIN YOONGIâ card and he can drive you around and stuff :D
itâs postive to say that youâre vERY excited
âlast one to cross the finish line buys the winner gifts for a whole week bYEEEEâ
wait
thatâs not-
tHATâS NOT HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO GO
apparently this is how yOU want it to go
the idea of yoongi driving you around in go-karts didnât cross your mind once
you thought that you were gonna race against him and gOD ARE YOU SO EXCITED
you work on cars not drive in cars
the closest youâve ever went to karting is going on bumper cars when jungkook took you to the amusement park!!!
itâs not racing because all you and kook did was bump the other as mUCH as possible to the point that the attendant was :/// are they ok
you know how to drive!!!
not to flex or anything but u dO have a professional driverâs license aha :D
although that doesnât mean shit if ur kinda being honest
do you know how to drift a car like what they do in fast and the furious?? probably yes
jungkook was âbreaking inâ his car and he took you to the dealership with him and the car just felt so sTIFF and then he saw an empty parking lotâŚ.
and well you didnât exactly STOP him because it isnât your car
how could you stop someone from doing something that you yourself wANT to do
can you drive as fast as yoongi?? possibly yes
will it be as clean and as easy as he makes it to be?? heck no
yoongiâs chasing after you because oh you are dEDICATED now to racing against him
youâre even scrambling to put your race suit on iN FRONT OF HIM and it makes him all flustered as he tries to keep up by turning and putting on his own
ânow donât go easy on me, okay???â
yoongiâs a bit confused because what did u just say
not to fuel his ego or anything but madame he is a race car driver and it runs in his blood and the skill is in his name
he loves u (although he hasnât said that yet) but he doesnât want to ruin all your hopes and dreams
âjust race as what you normally do and iâll do my oWN!!! :Dâ
o-okay
youâre fast!!!as fast as go-karts could go!!!
you even turned down yoongiâs offer of a ten-second head start because wHEREâS THE FUN IN THAT
you are as happy and as giddy as you could ever be
yoongi, on the other hand, is worried a ton
youâre still a bit cautious when it comes to curves and to turning and
yoongiâs heart physically stops whenever you go through them because now youâre starting to pick up the pace around them
youâre getting used to the curves as you go on and youâre starting to maintain speed aND go through curves smoothly
heâs happy that youâre happy but god heâs just tERRIFIED okay
the list of what could possibly go wrong is evading his mind and for godâs sake, heâs a rACE CAR DRIVER HIMSELF!!!!! with custom top-speed cars and not go-karts!!! and not once did this list cross his mind whenever he drives
itâs just now hitting him that his professionâs dangerous
but your profession tOO is dangerous!!!
you may not be the driver put you are a part of the pit stop crew that tends to the car the driverâs racing!!!!
fIRES!!! pneumatic torque guns that are sO DANGEROUS!!!! wheels!!!!! gas!!!!! the driver himself when heâs in a rush and could possibly injure people along the way!!!!!
yoongiâs going down on a spiral so harsh that he didnât even notice that not only did you pass him, but youâre also farther away from him sIGNIFICANTLY and before he knows it, you finished first!!
:D
âyoongs yoongs did you see me dID YOU SEE ME?????? :Dâ
you jump up to yoongi the moment he gets out of his kart and he instantly catches you and puts his hands underneath your thighs to secure you
your arms are even around his neck and you are incredibly close to yoongi more than you could ever wrap your head around
âmhmmmm âcourse i did!!â
he mindlessly hums and he just takes the time to see you up close like this before you realize and yelp later on because ur flustered
god yoongiâs never cared for anyone this much before
heâs falling in so hard
and thatâs not necessarily a bad thing, right?
the moment you stop talking and gushing is the moment you realize that yoongiâs been awfully quiet all throughout, making you look down and-
yoongiâs kissing you
for rEAL this time
god he is putty in your hands and heâs extremely mushy
your lips are sO soft that he feels like he could die a happy man
you donât know if your getting this adrenaline from the rush you got from winning or if itâs just the desire to kiss him for so long thatâs fueling you but either way
yoongi feels a little tug on his roots and that instinctively makes him kiss you a little deeper
his kisses taste so gOOD TOO
although you DO need to breathe every once in awhile
:D
yoongi has the biggest gummy smile on his face and his legs feel like giving out because he feels sO HAPPY
you donât fight the grin on your face either because wow :D that was just wHoosh!!! the suspense built up to it was incomparable oh god the tENSION before
he doesnât mind losing then :)
âone more? :Dâ
oh god u are rEALLY whipped for yoongi
and this puts the two of you on ANOTHER level okay
heâs gotten more affectionate and showy almost
jiminâs kinda concerned because sometimes he sees yoongi smiling out of the blue and heâs justâŚ. what is this guy ONâŚ..
jungkookâs so excited and happy for you!!!
he keeps pushing that this wouldnât have happened if it isnât for his overpriced stickers
he wants you to tell him EVERYTHING
âyeah?? and tHEN WHAT????â
he is a little jealous however because not all your time is spent on hanging out with him anymore
or how a particular someone would be joining your hangouts from time to time aka yoongi being a third wheel
âŚ. or maybe jungkookâs the third wheel âŚ.
lol impossible :)))))))
[ jeon jungkook continiously tries to deny the truth to himself as always ]
he could be nosy yes bUT heâs always curious
although
âso heâs finally your boyfriend?â
he makes sense most of the times
now that you think about it.,.,.
wait
oh
wAIT YOONGI ISNâT YOUR BOYFRIEND
you arenât sure either if thereâs a label already set?????
because as far as you know, kissing someone doesnât automatically translate to gREAT UR MY PARTNER IN LIFE NOW
oh no
itâs all good!!!
all good!!!!
you could open this up to yoongi later!!!
oh wait heâs busy
tomorrow then!!!!
uH nope heâs busy
the other day then :))
yoongi keeps getting busy and busy as he explains to the point that youâre in the same floor but you arenât even seeing each other
he isnât lying to you, right??
this isnât about the kiss, right?????
goddamn you jungkook :((
the gears in your head are turning because oh god what if yoongiâs realized that he doesnât want to commit to you
or that this is as long as a free netflix trial and your timeâs up and you need to gO
it also feels oddly sketchy too because yoongiâs only become suddenly busy and almost unreachable ever since the kiss
it is, in fact, about the kiss
god yoongi himself feels that heâs an asshole
heâs suddenly second-guessing his decisions
heâs went down the rabbit hole of thinking that mAYBE you deserve better than him
his nameâs kinda big and some rumors follow him too, whether itâs inside or outside the track
yoongi has a track record of ex-girlfriends as what the media wittily dubs it aND HE WONâT DENY IT OK
he does have some ex-girlfriends and his lovelife isnât talked about within the team because they just treat rumors as rumors and itâs yoongiâs life anyway
but what if news breaks out that you and him are dating
and his track record is brought up once again
aND NOT JUST THAT
because yoongi also feels like he isnât worthy enough for you :((
he could be bland and too blunt at some points
as opposed to you :(( whoâs sometimes too kind and always tries to understand situations and wonât also take shit from anyone
heâs not as spontaneous or charismatic as jungkook
he canât be as spontaneous as jungkook whoâs willing to go to a halloween party with him as mater and you as lightning mcqueen aND PERHAPS IN THE LITERAL COSTUME KIND OR SOMEHOW CLOSE TO IT
heâs not as avid in things that you like as much as jungkook is
heâs just yoongi :((
and he feels like the whole yoongi for y/n thing isnât enough :((
you havenât seen yoongi though
and since todayâs for the practice sessions, this is the time that youâre sURELy gonna see him!!!
thatâs the problem though
because seeing someone doesnât exactly guarantee that theyâre gonna pay attention to you
in other words: you think that yoongi might be avoiding you :((
he wasnât alone as he normally was and just when you were about to approach him, thatâs when he left to go get changed
you have no choice too since he goes straight to the track and that was it!!
youâre sneaking in to reply to jungkook whoâs asking for updates because heâs as committed to this scenario as much as you were
this is the last practice session anyway
you just want to get this over with so you could go confront yoongi and fix whatever is this thatâs happening :((
it doesnât help, really
doesnât help when the practice session is over and what yoongi does the first thing when he finishes is not go back to where the team is
or perhaps just hop over the box like he usually does
he goes to kim dahyun,,
kim dahyun
sheâs a heiress?? a socialite?? maybe both???
sheâs someone whoâs known to be always in the front seat when it comes to events
sheâd be placed courtside in basketball games and in tennis tournaments and by the side of the runway when itâs fashion week
no one for sure knows why
but her most recent appearances have been banked in these racing weekends and wherever she goes is where articles follow :((
sheâs just something else :((
sheâs pretty and sheâs rich and sheâs kim dahyunÂ
sheâs wearing your teamâs novelty shirt and she has it tied up in the frontÂ
dahyun has her hair up in a bun and she has this ribbon that corresponded with your team colors wrapped around it
she has these perfect-looking gel nails!! gel nails!!! you could see the shine all the way from here when sheâs flashed at the monitor and is in fact a couple of feet away from you!!
the jewelry too :((
gel nails and jewelry are things youâve always wanted to try out but could barely wear due to the nature of your job
and although theyâre just little things, it kinda drives you crazy because you canât help but feel like youâre having a burnout with your profession
the fact that yoongiâs going to her for reasons unbeknownst to you is enough to make your stomach drop
even puts his hand at the sMALL of her back and-
oh
even does this lil cheek kiss and she does it back with him and they talk
they talk
min yoongi goes to talk to kim dahyun and greet her like that
when you canât even get the bare minimum of even a glance from him
âaRE YOU SEEING THIS??â
jungkook texts you and itâs the only momentary relief you get because this way, your eyes arenât focused on them and your heart briefly stops hurting
âyeah.â
you wanna go back to the hotel
you donât even wanna look at yoongi
you retreat to the furthest area away and just sit there while all this fuss blows over and how there are even some cheers upon seeing yoongi and dahyun up on the monitor
cool
thatâs cool
your cheeks feel wet and youâre just wordlessly setting up and putting back the things that were needed for this session
mingyu, the fellow pit crew member whoâs aloft from you and the other ones for most of the times even noticed and he was just ???
ây/n, yâokay?â
you canât even bring yourself to be in surprise that he spoke to you because youâre too busy being sadÂ
âdust :)) itâs just dust :))â
but itâs not.,., itâs not even remotely windy.,..,
jungkook crashes to your room later that afternoon and stayed with you until you fell asleep
youâre not exactly cHATTY when you feel your heart breaking and kookâs well-aware
just wordlessly puts on whateverâs trending on netflix and puts it up for background noise :((
orders room service and nudges you until you agree to eatÂ
even strokes your hair because he could see some tears pricking at the corner of your eyes and jungkook automatically presses you to his chest
damn yoongi ://
yoongiâs kinda missing the texts and the calls youâd usually bombard with himÂ
but this time his phoneâs silent
he knows at the back of his mind that this may be about dahyun awhile ago but at the same time, he doesnât wanna entertain the thought because itâs harmless,,,, right??
dahyun was a friend before she became his girlfriend and tHEN his ex
and now theyâre friends again
thatâs not exactly harmful isnât it
yoongiâs eyes keep going back to check his phone every two minutes just to see if thereâs a notification from you
and if he gets one? he wonât ignore it he sWEARS
just atleast give him a text
even a passive-aggressive one that just has a single period on it
and hE knows that all of this is building up because of him :((
heâs not quite ready to admit that to himself though
oh my god is this the end for you and yoongi???
you havenât even started with proper labels aND youâre already over???
this isnât exactly the high road you always try to go through
but yoongiâs just beyond confusing and angering at this point and is being really uNFAIR
so if he wonât be open no matter how much you try to coax him at his won pace and decides to be immature about it.,.,,,
well youâre gonna stop adjusting :D
todayâs the third to the last race and just like any other, itâs heated
you support yoongi the driver but youâre not in the best terms with yoongi the loVER
not a bad start honestly
yoongi didnât get pole position but instead the third and he was a more than bummed because usually, when he didnât get pole-sitter, heâd lean on to you for comfort and youâre gonna soothe him throughout
but no that didnât happen yesterday
jimin just sighed and patted him on the back and said âjust do good tomorrowâ and how is tHAT gonna be on par with how you comfort him
heâs through about 3/4 into the race
and gOD itâs going seamless
but some things are just piling up and itâs making him completely confused
hobiâs already passed him and at this stretch, he typically wouldnât be able to because yoongi knows hoseokâs pattern
yoongiâs only had a pit stop once and thatâs the strategy that gets him winning most times
but god something just feels odd
jimin comes at the right times as he speaks through the radio and yoongi couldnât be any more lost
âyoongi you hAVE to box nowâ
and box equates to him having anOther pit stop when he usually wouldnât because this isnât it!!
this isnât the strategy!!!!
âjimin iF i box now then that means-â
âyoongi!! listen to me!!! jungâs gonna pass ahead wHETHER you box or not. if you wanna save face and finish this race ranking atleast within top 10, box. right. now.â
fuck
his tires are thinning and normally he could sTILL go through the final stretch without another pit stop but fuck is jimin ordering him with so much ferocity
he has no other choice
and yoongiâs angry
heâs sTILL heated up because these circumstance have never happened before
then he finished 7th in this race
and thatâs the lowEST heâs ever placed this season!!!
yoongi canât exactly control his anger when it comes to situations like these and jiminâs very well-aware
he has faith in yoongi and his driving but tHESE technical reasons are what made him to go through this last-minute strategy
jiminâs crew chief and he stands by his decisions and his strategies
thereâs no denying tho that he kNOWS yoongiâs gonna be heated
yoongi marches off the moment he finishes
and heâs looking for someone
anyone
youâre there by jiminâs side
and of cOURSE you were shocked by the sudden strategy and you just canât help going to him to discuss it
you know too that yoongiâs gonna be mAD but after analyzing the situation with jimin when he explained and when you visualized, jimin did make the right call
before you know it though
yoongiâs already there
âY/N!!!â
oh
this is the first time that yoongiâs speaking to you and you couldnât be anymore shocked and confused at the same time
the two of you arenât exactly alone,.,,
heâs had this sudden recollection of yoongi eating dinner with you in your hotel room and you kept asking him questions about racing and strategies and the philosophical aspect of it
and he delved into his strategies with jimin and retold them to you
you were in so much fondness too because he looks so focused and passionate when he was laying them out to you
âdID YOU TELL ABOUT THE STRATEGIES TO JUNGKOOK?â
what
wHAT????
yoongi isnât level-headed right now and the storyâs immediately flipped in his head of how this must have possibly went
jiminâs eyes are bulging at whatâs unfolding, but even more so to the fact that you and yoongi aRENâT alone
and heâs here and the other crew members are here
and they can heAR YOONGI!!! loud and clear!!!
âyoongi wHAT are you talking about???â
âdonât play dumb!! you told them to jungkook, didnât you???â
for a fact, you didnât
you didnât tell jungkook nor aNYONE else
what would you benefit from that??
what would yOONGI benefit from that??
âshut up!! you tOld about the strategies to jungkook and he told it to hoseok and nOW look at what happened!!! all of this, all of what i did, is gonna fall through just because you couldnât keep your mouth shut!!â
jiminâs heart is dropping at this and he canât imagine what youâre feeling right now
he knows to his heart that you wouldnât do such a thing
or that all of this has to do with his decision and a series of coincidences that piled up for yoongi to mindlessly think that youâre the reason for what heâs pushing to be a leak
âyoongi, i would never-â
âdONâT TALK TO ME!!â
heâs burning
actually burning
so much so that heâs walking towards you and looking down on you
âyouâre fired.â
wait
what the actual fuck
âyOU CANâT DO THAT!â
âi can.â
jiminâs about to step in as heâs standing behind you and heâs already gripping at your arm
he needs to say something
and you know your standing with jimin isnât the best but youâre just thinking about him
you know how heâs due for a promotion and a raise
and you know yoongiâs above and beyond gonna ruin his career if jimin dared to speak and atleast attempt to defend you and pin the blame on himself
âand iâm gonna get my father involved if i have to.â
thatâs it
thatâs the end of your career
you didnât wait to get fired
knowing yoongi, he means what he says and so you didnât waste a single second in packing up your bags and rounding up your documents
you already knew enough that yoongiâs dad have connections with the association and a single phone call could flip things over
so whether yoongiâs already made the call to his dad or not, youâre gonna leave either way
youâre making calls to your manager, the same one who came to your college and recruited you and jungkook, and had to explain as much as you can while pulling at all stops
said managers was saddened at the call and then she had to make that call to the ones in the upper positions so could aLSO explain as much as she can
honestly you donât know either whatâs gonna come out of this
either your name would be defamed wrongly, or nO oneâs gonna notice at all and your sudden disappearance would have 99 versions and not one confirmed
they think itâs best to respect your decision of letting go and even if youâve signed a contract, this âfiringâ is as good as official
also they think itâs best to relay the statement of you making an âindefinite leaveâ due to a âfamily emergency of grave importanceâ which translates to no this isnât an indefinite leave but instead youâre leaving for good
itâs both a blessing and a curse that this happened far into the season
a blessing since thereâs only two races left after this and that means less adjustments with the team dynamic and the news of your departure wonât be as focused on because yeah last two races
a curse since these last two races are critical and yoongi just couldnât wait until the last one to blame you and then fire you
no worries though
there are always replacements
aka which just points that youâre despensable and itâs nOT helping your self-esteem
backups are there in case the event a pit crew member gets injured (or worse, incapacitated; and theyâre familiar with the work and the dynamic so it would be just a seamless fit
and all of that got arranged in less than two hours :)) there was even a flight you managed to book within that time
you didnât even get to say goodbye to jungkook :((
he had to know all of it by a short n simple goodbye and see you soon text you sent before boarding and by asking jimin what happened
he was cOMPLETELY bawling his eyes out because his best friend left him :(( and he counts on you so much and you help him stay sANE
heâs beyond angry at yoongi and didnât even bother to bat an eye when he walked past him
jimin feels so guilty and sad
he was a shitty crew chief to you for the most part and after all that, you still went through this considering hIM and his job and his dIGNITY even if it means you lose all three things and you already did
jimin cried when jungkookâs lip started trembling and he lost it completey by then
yoongiâs lost and empty and oblivious to all of this
he figures that itâs better to let some hours pass so he could cool down and reflect
thatâs his second mistake however
yoongiâs complacent
and three hours have passed and he knows that at this time youâre still awake so he walked over to your room and just rang the bell
oh
heâs rung it three times now and uSUALLY you wouldnât even let it pass two when itâs yoongi by the door
thatâs weird
yoongiâs about to pull out his phone to call you to open the door but before
he could even press at your name, the door already opens
⌠itâs a middle-aged man âŚ
âyOUâRE NOT Y/Nâ
âŚ
âŚ
âwrong door, kid.â
but thatâs your room
yoongi knows youâve left the circuit earlier than everyone because of what happened
that much he knows
but not this
yoongi dials jungkook instead because for sure heâd know where you are but then another door opens and thatâs jUNGKOOK!!! leaving jiminâs room thatâs a couple of doors from your room
âyA. do-âŚâ
jungkook literally just walks past him and into the elevator
what
what is going ON
then yoongiâs jogging to jiminâs door thatâs closing then he manages to wedge into his foot before it closes
âwhereâs Y/N?â
little did yoongi know that the answer would make him regret even asking you donât have the slightest clue on how could possibly bounce back from this
maybe take a break; a week perhaps
get a job thatâs for sURE
ignore yoongiâs texts and calls
reply to jungkook whenever he contacts you as much as he could in free time that he gets
assure jimin that youâre okay and he has nothing to apologize for
be eternally grateful for your friends that have your back no matter what and help you stay afloat and even giving you a job
bless the kim line
jin, namjoon, and taehyung were your ultimate friends in college besides jungkook
they are the most awesome and sWEETEST friend group youâve ever had in your life
you didnât get to hang out with them as frequently like you did with jungkook since the three of them were in the business course and you and kook on the student athlete side
but that didnât change the fact that you give are inseperable and wHOLESOME
you and jungkook ended up being crew members for a famous and multi-million team in formula racing but youâve retired wAY too early lmao
the three of them
well
not to brag
but theyâre the proud owners and the brawns and the brains of kim kradle
KIM KRADLE!!
itâs a one-stop shop for everything that automobiles could possibly need
but why kim kradle do you ask???
well first of all,,, jin, namjoon, and taehyun have the same family name which is Kim so write that down
kradle? aha well :D
so for babies, thereâs cradles, right??
they serve kinda like havens, right??
wHERE was ultron from avengers: age of ultron made??? the cradle. although their shopâs vision and mission are wAY WAY different from ultronâs
and like why name it kim cradle
when you can name it kIM KRADLE
theyâve had calls when they were starting out asking if they were selling baby cradles and the answer is N-O
itâs now a huge successful shop thatâs like an open warehouse type!!
basically, the kim kradle is divided into three major operations
general services to intensive repair of parts and basically what goes on internally!! jin is in charge and heads that sector!!
he could see your car for two seconds and go âhey man, did you ever ace your karate lessons? lmao you have a broken fan belt not a black beltâ
carwashes and waxing and all that good stuff!! namjoon is a beast at thus and your car could be like from 1997 and heâd clean it so good that it would look like itâs from 2030
customization!! from leather seats to metallic foils to coating!! taehyung has an instagram dedicated to his finished works and ongoing ones and like wHAT?? he has half a million followers?? no big deal
kim kradle is on the massive side and is therefore separated to three floors
namjoon and his carwashes are at the basement in which youâd still get sunlight in because there are inclined pathways on the side that lead out to an outdoor waiting area
jin is on the 2nd floor and basically in the same ground level where the civilization is because his sectionâs more critical and itâs the obvious option
taehyung gets the 3rd floor, and one partâs covered and the other is like a car balcony so when he finishes?? you could see that sunlight hitting the custom coat he did on your car
either kim kradle is so good, the placement and marketing are perfect, or the owners are just sO attractive and unparalled as to why so many people avail their services and most go through all three levels
maybe the formula is all three of those variables
you came home without knowing a sINGLE thing and being alone in your apartment is appreciated but it gets eerie and so isolating
and you called namjoon late into the night because he always knows what to say and you ended up having more than what you hoped for
you just wanted to have some comfort and ease because also,, namjoonâs voice is really soothing and u miss hearing it
not oNLY did you get some peace of mind
you also got a job without even actively looking for it at the moment and you couldnât be anymore fulfilled
namjoon said that you could come in at kim kradle anytime at your own pace and theyâd still welcome you with open arms
also said that jin and tae miss you sO much and itâs a good thing that namjoon is the one you called because if itâs either from the other two, you wouldnât be able to sleep and perhaps youâd get visitors to your apartment at 2 in the morning
and this is it!!!
for once, you donât want to confront a problem to the core
youâre just gonna distract yourself and make your way around it aha :D
two days later??? youâre working in kim kradle now!!!
and you know what??
you eVEN get the overalls
the only three people in kim kradle that wear overalls are jin, namjoon, and taehyung themselves
and itâs to kinda highlight the fact that theyâre the owners and the heads of their sections
the rest wear boiler-style like suitsÂ
all their uniforms are cute
like sERIOUSLY
jin is in charge of the color and there are actually multiple ones!! a pale pink to a nice lavender and a dark navy blue!! the first two are kinda impractical because itâs impossible to not get dirty in this job but they ARE adorable and stylish though
namjoon pushed for this uniform and so he really searched and handpicked fabrics that wonât be tOO hot and in which u could actively move in them
but sometimes there are tasks in which involve the straps for the overalls sliding down so tHE next big thing????
namjoon sewing but actually it became tAEHYUNGâS job because heâs gonna poke himself with the needle multiple times before even getting to put a thread in
made a lil hook by the custom shirts down to where it draped by the shoulders and it could hook the straps so like wHATEVER the four of you do, the overalls wonât slip :D
innovation amirite :D
and then it was taehyungâs job to have kim embroidered in really cute cursive by the back and the initials of their first name in a lil formal font below it
and the first names are embroidered in the front!!!Â
tae was the one who wrapped the overalls into a large box and you genuinely didnât expect that youâd be even given one
and itâs just that youâve been so much on eDGE lately and every little thing turns you emotional these days ever since that incident with yoongi
âis she,,, sheâs,,, is y/n sobbing??â
taehyung sputters because oh my god did his gift wrapping throw you off?? jeez he kinda knew at the back of his head that the bright neon green with some balloons saying âhappy birthdayâ even if itâs nOT your birthday looks REPULSIVE and he didnât have any other gift wrapper left but he didnât know that it would be too repulsive to make you cry :((
âdid we do something??â
jin looks worried because oh god maybe it was the joke he did awhile ago about you suddenly working here now
although namjoon eased their worries and oH youâre hugging the three of them!!!
âi-itâs just that-...â
you were only supposed to thank them for the overalls and the opportunity bUT it took some turns and it ended up with you telling them the story and namjoon having to fill in some gaps when you get too pouty and too sad to explain
tHEY GET IT NOW
anyways
itâs very easy to be thrown in the spur of things at the moment because youâre just grasping at every opportunity to distract yourself!! :D coping mechanisms!!!!
youâre with jin in his section because thatâs your work!! that is your work before you got fired and you just got to continue it
but this time with all the time in the world
not really but an hour is a lifetime for you and youâre just used to repairing things in mere seconds
in mere seconds and you have to train for it like almost every second of the day sO this is a nice change :D
âa wrench?? iâm gonna replace the tires using a wrench??â
jin laughs at that because youâre holding it in disgust as you stare down the car that just got brought in
they donât have a flat tire or anything!! they just wanna get new tires that are as exaggerated as their very-embellished and exaggerated jeep with their specs :D
âthey donât teach you that in racing school????â
://
you know how to replace tires with a wrench and a jack of course
but itâs just hitting you now that oh god this is very alike and different at the same time with your past job!!!
âyou dONâT have pneumatic guns?? yeah sure they mAY be expensive but like work would be done quicker and youâd go through more customers?? oH my god jin??? you know what, iâm gonna call jimin right now. let me get you some things!!!â
well then,,,
actually,,,
jin mAY have a pneumatic gun lying around but they donât use it because a) itâs not as fast and as efficient as what yOU use in the track b) what for honestly,,, c) this is not formula racing and most people arenât in a rush
but you know what
this is going good for you!!!
jinâs learning new things from u and the other way around and youâre not wallowing in sadness tHAT much anymore :D
and you do feel that kim kradle is doing so much good on you!! youâre constantly with jin but sometimes you spice it up an transfer from floor to floor :))
pressure-washing with namjoon is very therapeutic and having excessive knowledge now about how to properly give your car the shiniest wax ever in your lifetime??
itâs excessive knowledge you wouldnât trade for the world
you even go work with taehyung sometimes!!! you help him plan out color schemes and pick out fabric with him and go measure dimensions and eVEN do 3D mock-ups
watching and aLSO being able to mix custom coats to go on cars is very satisfying ok
tae even gives you the password to the instagram account :))
he gets you to do the close-ups sometimes and eVEN tells you a thing or two on how he edits these clips to be as satsfying and pleasing as possible
todayâs just a slow day
only three cars have come to the shop and to your floor in the past hour nothing from the three of them needed that much TLC
two of them just needed to get their tiresâ air pressure checked and have them pumped to match
the other one was just towed here because itâs the nearest shop and just has a dead battery :((
you donât know how you and jin could pass the time because there isnât any tv in the area since sOMEONE (jin himself) got distracted too much by watching sherlock and he jUST wanted to know how sherlock pulled off operation lazarus!!!!
it clearly wasnât his intention to keep pumping up the jack and almost have the whOLE car tip over because he had it up all the way
that was an accident :))
he didnât even notice that so many of his boys were dashing for the side of the car to keep it from falling and when one of them called out his name, jin had the aUDACITY to shush him because there goes the climax!!!
wOOpS aha oh no what happened to the car :D
the next big thing that jin could do? ask you and catch up about all the technical stuff in formula racing so he could learn too ya know
âwhat happens if a wing gets dented or like dEFORMED?? how would that be fixed that quickly??â
âooh!! good question!! actually-...â
that sound
you miss that sound :((
someoneâs driving in your floor by the sounds of it and you donât even need to turn your head to know that it must be a rEALLY cool car :((
it reminds you of the sounds you hear on the track and itâs one that you dearly miss
the growl of whatever car this is loud but like nOT obnoxious of pricks that just wanna show off in traffic and rev up their engine, yâknow??
jin could only be so happy because fINALLY
another customer and another task to do to pass this day and itâs nOT a prius!!!!!!!
fucking finally
jin stands up immediately and you immediately follow him and this carâs getting attention from the other workers at the floor because whew
they all know to back off and go back to working on previous and existing projects because aH they see jin smiling giddily and almost jogging and youâre in tow from excitement
itâs a nice car!!!
a maserati granturismo in sleek black!!! jinâs only saw one of these come in the shop driveway but only for them to pULL out and itâs just because they needed to maneuver to go back to a u-turn
what a prick ://
he was excited that day and for wHAT??? someone to use their driveway just so they could reverse their car???? thatâs just rude
the owner in mystery comes out and is aLREADY TALKING and- wait
isnât that yoongi?
yOONGI?????
âhey man, could you check on my radiator real quick? the airconditioningâs a bit wack and iâm not entirely sure if itâs the radiator but i donât wanna tweak it, âcause maybe itâs the compressor too. not sure. can you-â
thatâs
oh my god thatâs yOU
the seasonâs wrapped up like a week ago and the last races were tough so tough than he couldâve ever imagined and it was even harder without you
yoongi won the season
but he lost you though :((
he was so enraged at himself the moment jimin told him about the verdict you took and how you quit before he could fire you â for good yoongi has no one to blame but himself and god heâs just so mad at himself
even up to now actually
his pride was so enormous that he didnât even tHINK that he might be the problem as to why he placed 7th in that race
and instead, he just needed someone, anyone, for him to blame and youâre the fIRST person he sees and he immediately takes his anger and frustration out on you
you would never do such things and heâs disgusted at himself for even tHINKING that youâd ever betray him like that
he was regretting every bit of his words and actions that he said and did out of blind spite
if he could punch himself he would GLADLY do that and knock himself out yoongi was both panicked and livid
had a hard time breathing too because oh gOd he just canât stop thinking about you and the things heâs caused that are too late to bring back and reverse :((
he kept pleading to atleast follow you home even for just some hours and heâll immediately go back to the hotel as if he never left
but he canât do that and he hATES it
god this wouldnât have happened if he wasnât a big fucking aSSHOLE!!! throughout the whole week ever since you left the team, he was a gigantic mess
like he still is now
but he had dark circles under his eyes that were swollen from crying so much
his lips were set in a frown as a default
yoongi was doing well with the streak of not biting and picking at his fingernails and his cuticles but now tHATâS broken alright
heâs tried reaching out to jungkook multiple times
heâs tried apologizing but he always gets a deadpanned response of how he isnât the one he needs to apologize to
kook sees the sincerity of yoongi trying to apologize because heâs hurt you, his best friend, but thatâs not the important issue here
you called jungkook unknowingly in the middle of his and yoongiâs conversation and the boy just almost jUMPS at jungkook to try and borrow his phone with his pleads and as much as his heart goes out (he still hATES yoongi ok), jungkookâs not gonna let him
he tries getting jimin to let him borrow his phone and call you and jimin wonât let him either because this is not his place and youâve been through enough
the closest yoongiâs ever got to you??
jimin still feels so sorry and guilty to this day
and heâs conflicted and confused and a lil sad
but jimin did call you in front of yoongi on speaker :(((
and yoongi got to hear you answer with a chipped-out voice :(((
and heâs just so tempted to speak out loud but if he does that, then jimin will forever be mad at him too probably and heâs also promised that heâs gonna pretend he isnât there
ask her if she already ate dinner
yoongi wonât stop typing in his notes tho and wave it frantically for jimin to ask you
and youâre responding truthfully because whatâs jimin gonna do?? fLY to your home and cook you spaghetti?????
of course not
thatâs what yoongi wants to do :(( if only he can :((
his win felt so empty and it just feels so dull without you here
also knowing that heâs drived out one of the only people that puts up with him and is always patient and is the reason to why heâs been so inspired lately
and one of these days
just one of these days, yoongi wants to drive to your apartment and camp out the door if he needs to just so he could redeem himself and earn forgiveness and try to mend what heâs broken
not today though
not today when the moment yoongi finally gathered the words and the courage to go to you, with the blessing of jungkook giving him his address but with a very sTRICT warning that scared the shit out of him.,.,.,
but also with his airconditioning broken and something just tells him that he needs to take it to a shop because itâs been awhile ever since he drove normal cars
and yoongi actually forgot the gravity of all this so heâs a bit nervous because maybe this is a more serious case with his car and itâs just the universeâs way of telling him to go to you tomorrow
or as soon as his car gets taken to the shop
maybe he needs to polish up some lines and try practicing them better from the heart
yoongi could go to jimin and have it fix it for him but like thatâs tOO far of a drive and he just needs a quick fix
ooh
kim kradle!!! itâs the nearest shop to his place that has five stars on it
and heâs still a bit wary because his face and his name and win did land on the news and heâs been trending lately and like wHAT IF someone takes advantage of his car or scams him because they know who he is this car is his frequent and it holds a sentimental value to his heart ok
kim kradle is bigger than heâs pictured it in his mind
woah it actually looks cool and promising
christ itâs so hot inside his car god he needed to open up a little bit of his window but mosquitoes would creep in and tHEYâRE annoying and a real hazard to kill while youâre driving down the road
he wants to get this over with quickly
yoongi just needs to drive to your place and see you asap
âhey man, could you check on my radiator real quick? the airconditioningâs a bit wack and iâm not entirely sure if itâs the radiator but i donât wanna tweak it, âcause maybe itâs the compressor too. not sure. can you-â
oh
thatâs you
wAIT THAT IS YOU
ây/n?â
his hands are literally shaking right now oh my god
itâs been some twenty-seven days ever since heâs last saw you and here you aRE
here you are in a place heâs least expected to see you because heâs on the way to see you but actually yOUâRE HERE
âyoongi.â
you acknowledge him back and god you donât know what to feel
jin immediately senses whatâs happening and deep-down he is pANICKING alright
heâs been in contact with jungkook and in the back of their minds, they knew that yoongi wonât let this go without his ever-present persistence
and eventually like maybe yoongiâs gonna know that you work here and the last time that he checked, yoongi doesnât even know kim kradle
bUT JIN DIDNâT KNOW THAT THIS TIME WOULD COME THIS SOON OK
he immediately steps in and insert himself in between you and yoongi that heâs trying to close the distance to you and that surprises yoongi completely
âairconditioning, right? keys please. iâll check it out!!â
yoongi wastes no time in shoving the keys to jinâs hand and he couldnât be anymore desperate to talk to you
he doesnât wanna cross boundaries obviously even if jinâs already moved out of the way
youâre still glued to your spot trying to process the situation and your fight or flight response is not exactly working right now
is there a disbelief and yearning and standing in sadness and anger option in that fight or flight choice
âi havenât seen you in so long.â
thatâs what usually happens when you become an asshole yOONGI
god how are you supposed to react
âyou too.â
thereâs this awkward distance in between the two of you and itâs too deep to even get betweenÂ
yoongi suddenly forgets the words thatâs been in his mind for the longest time,, just brewing and evolving and always changing as he just wants to fix the damage heâs done :((
heâs about to get closer but
âthe cooling fanâs just clogged. it could be finished within like fifteen minutes man :Dâ
jin doesnât exactly know what heâs doing but he âs dOING whatever this is ok
although that is factual
the cooling fan is just a bit dirty and thereâs some debris in there that could be cleared quickly
but he just needs to do it extra carefully because this is a nice car ok
i mean he sTILL cares for cars in the same way even if not every car he gets in the shop is a maserati granturismoÂ
heâs just a lil bit nervous even thOUGH heâs an expert at this ok
âfIFTEEN MINUTES???â
yoongiâs freaking out and heâs gripping at his hair in panic because wHAT
THAT SHOULD TAKE AN HOUR
goddamn why does kim kradle have to be a five-star shop :((
ây-yeah.,, i can do it in ten if youâre in a hurry-â
âaha nO NO :D iâm not in a hurry at all!!! please, take your time!!â
oh god what does he do now
yoongi walks over to his car and that confuses both you and jin
because what
he has half of his body in the driverâs seat and it sEEMS that heâs fishing for something in his glovebox
itâs a lil swiss knife
bUT WHY
he kept it in the gloveboxes of his cars because seatbelts are not exactly fool-proof and you could be stuck in them and heâs scared of that
and also if heâs gotten a takeout of a burger and itâs too big and heâs driving with one hand so heâll just whip out his lil swiss knife and cut haphazardly
âwhatâs your name, man??â
âjin!! kim seokjin :D youâre-â
wait
what the fuck is yoongi doing
ohÂ
did he just-
âalso forgot to tell you!!! my tires are running flat and i tHINK they need to be changed!! so sorry man it just came upâ
deadass
yoongi literally just slashed his four tires
jinâs sPUTTERING
and heâs looking back and forth to you and to yoongi and his car
âare you -- are you sEEING -- y/n tell me wait what the fuck iS YOONGI SLASHING HIS TIRES????â
whatever it takes
whatever to buy his time with you and so as much as he can
youâre quite taken aback because oh did yoongi just do that
jin has only known yoongi personally for like eight minutes and he could positively say that he is on aNOTHER level
yoongiâs approaching you again and it only hits you nOW
âhave you eaten lunch already?â
your mouth is dry and you absolutely canât look at yoongi because it just feels so unrealÂ
âno. hEy uh-...â
âno?? oh my gOD hold on just stay still, yeah? iâm gonna get lunch hOld on-â
yoongiâs immediately scarmbling for the exit
he has no concrete plan but he sure is hellbent in getting you lunch even though his carâs tires are slashed and heâs gonna be walking in an area heâs unfamiliar with
you really havenât eaten lunchÂ
you were just about to say a half-assed reason of namjoon calling you just to exit this situation because you are nOT ready and yoongiâs already off before you could mutter it
jinâs gears are just on a frenzy
âoh so thatâs min yoongi.,.,,. jusT slashed his own tires,.,,. thatâs.... endearing.,.,,â
youâve detached yourself from the situation and you couldnât really stand seeing nor interacting with yoongi
youâve cooped up yourself in jinâs office and the moment yoongi came back holding up take-out for boTH you and jin, his carâs already all-done
jin gives him a look thatâs telling and yoongi gets it
âoh. thatâs okay. just uh, just leave this for y/n, can you? thereâs enough for the two of you. thanks, jin :))â
you need a moment
that oneâs obvious
taehyung insisted that you come home early and you obliged because oh god you nEED a moment
you come into work the next day and sure enough, youâre all well-rested and this time they could ask about what happened yesterday
even hear jinâs point of view on how yoongi is just so wILD
taehyung is in alert and so in namjoon
theyâre all ears ok
jinâs telling his story and taeâs nudging you discreetly and makes you look at a box!!!
a box heâs ordered online a couple days ago after he saw you breakdown and youâre looking in awe as you whisper because u donât wanna disrupt jin
âgel nails???â
the same one you always wanted and itâs flashing back to when you saw yoongi talking to dahyun!!!
oh this is really happening???
âdO IT YOURSELF!!!â
taehyungâs grabbing your hand immediately as he opens the box and heâs sO pumped for this because he stayed up all night watching how to do gel nails yourself!!
he even bought a nice uv lamp for it!! heâs tHAT dedicated
this takes your mind off of yoongi for awhile
a car pulls up yet again and youâre getting the chills again bUt it just turned out to be jungkook
aND HOBI!!!
hobi finished second this season!!
they immediately flock to the lot of you and youâre not sure on who flocks who because everyoneâs just genuinely happy to see each other
even the kim line meeting hobi for the first time is such a fun experience
jungkook immediately goes to you and he sEES taehyung doing something to your hand
heâs not sure what heâs doing
but he knows that he wants IN okay
he wants to these gel nails on your other hand
he doesnât know shit on how to do them but heâs gonna learn along the way aND he is not backing downÂ
taehyung wasnât aware that this is a competition now but apparently iT IS NOW :O
itâs not ensured that your two hands will look the exact same because you think theyâre going for the what looks better competition and not letâS DO THIS IDENTICALLY because these are y/nâs hands yâknowÂ
youâre about to fall asleep with how this is lowkey soothing
this is not the quickest manicure to do on anybody
especially if itâs someoneâs first time and theyâre really aIMING for it to be perfect
although itâs not easy because another car pulls up and youâre pANICKED that it might be yoongiÂ
oh nah itâs okay thatâs not his car anyway!!!
you sometimes forget.... that yoongiâs a race car driver....
and thereâs a possibility.... that he has multiple cars....
thatâs yoongi alright
he steps down in a hurry and makes a beeline for you because he could immediately spot you!!! even in crowds!!!
youâre somehow ensured that yoongiâs gonna decide against going to you because youâre not alone
taehyungâs on your left and jungkookâs on your right and theyâre not leaving your side until they finish their masterpieces for like another half hour
oH HEâS GOING FOR IT
ây/n, hI!!â
coming in strong but thatâs ok
âjungkook :]â
he acknowledges kook and youâre not exactly up-to-date with how these two stand with each otherÂ
but kook kinda just gives him a confused glance (jIN CALLED HIM LAST NIGHT) and nods back to yoongi
what
taehyung has his lips parted because what,,, why.,.,Â
yoongiâs about to open his mouth to talk to this guy thatâs holding your hAND???
oh this is the part right
âiâm,,, kim taehyung.,.,.,â
âmin yoongi. nice to meet you :))â
he sticks out his hand and tae blindly reaches for it and he doesnât know wHY he shook it and heâs still confused up to to now
what is yoongi doing
wHAT IS HE DOING
you only realize now that yoongi has something in his hands and heâs looking dead straight to you and he doesnât falter once
(heâs nervous on the inside trUST HIM)
âi know youâre not that comfy in seeing me and thatâs tOTALLY okay!! i respect that!! itâs just uH i realized that uhm,.,., do you remember that time we were karting? and you won and we ki -- when you wON?? and you said that the winner gets one week of presents,,.,, and i just want to fulfill that.â
yoongiâs voice is wavering because oh shit this iS hard to swallow down
âeven if i might be a little late.â
he wordlessly sets down a wrapped present by your feet, just in the middle of a sitting jungkook and taehyung who are listening all this time and have curious eyes on the neatly-wrapped present thatâs been laid down
he leaves and stalks over to jin
âwhat happened now yoongi.,.,.,â
âmy guess is that there are some rocks stuck in the wheel bearings. maybe even in the mags. four on the left, three on the right.â
....
hmmmm
âthatâs nice, man. just a hunch??â
âyup :)) just a hunch :)) aLSO: can i have a stool?? iâm just gonna wait here, yâknow :))â
yoongiâs not expecting anything from you
he doesnât mind rejection or you ignoring him all throughout because he knows that he deserves it
he deserves it for sure
sometimes he sees you in the corner of his eye
or you helping out jin on fixing yoongiâs other car
or the other one
your own pace
your pace is what matters and yoongi isnât gonna take any shortcut or undercut
this isnât formula racing
this is yOU and him being patient until you feel like acknowledging him
of course he still apologizes
texts you even if youâre across the room
sees you open the text and youâd send him a look and youâd be giving him the slightest smile before you occupy yourself again
yoongiâs okay with that.
he keeps coming back
this is the third car and itâs nOT EVEN HIS ANYMORE
heâs just texting friends asking âyO do u need you car washed or fixed or something??? iâll take it to the shop for you fREE OF CHARGE!!!â
heâs that invested in this and he doesnât see himself giving up this is good for kim kradle of course but oh god this is aMUSING TOO throughout the week, yoongi hasnât faltered either in continuing at giving you the gifts
the first one heâs given you?? a box full of trinkets heâs been collecting for every country that heâs visited ever since you gave him that caffeine pill!!
just random things heâs seen in malls or souvenir shops or airport boutiques that reminded him of you, all in a box with a single note
i miss you. - yoongi
youâre not gonna lie
you do miss yoongi too
but the things heâs done still make you wince when youâre thinking about it and even though heâs apologized in all ways but a face-to-face one
because youâre not that lax with him, the both of you know that this isnât just a one and done thing
things take time and yoongiâs taking it at your pace and youâre grateful for it
warming up is always relative and so is forgiveness longingâs still there but itâs just a matter of suppressing it and yeah you dO miss yoongi
youâre lost without him too although youâre not gonna make that anymore obvious because thatâs just devastating to think about you think heâs about to reach the end of his rope and it throws you in the whirlwind of oH
this is the sixth consecutive day that yoongiâs been coming to kim kradle yesterday was the first bIG interaction youâve ever done with him
because since you donât talk to him as much, he just takes his time as he waits for the services for the cars that he brings by making conversation with the guys
heâs gotten to know jin and joon and tae aND YEAH they like him but they do grill him separately though because theyâre mad at what heâs done to you
but heâs also apologized to them and made promises that heâs gonna be keeping
jin doesnât cook by the kitchen anymore because yoongi keeps bringing takeout or sometimes hEâS THE ONE WHO COOKS in his home and brings it to u guys
is it bad that he all bought you lunchboxes
is it bad that your lunchbox is the fanciest out of all of them and you have more portions and yours are always cut up like he did with the pork.,.,..
itâs not bad as lonG as you pretend to unsee the three kims stealing food from you and just go about to eating your food
but the big interaction did happen yesterday
and it was you suddenly calling out yoongiâs name as heâs sat by the car but he sTILL heard you and he swears heâs gonna cry
because oh god itâs been a long time ever since you said his name in that tone
âyouâre not gonna eat with us?â
OH DAMN
heâs a mess
âuhm weLL do you want me too?? itâs oKAY uhm pls just-â
âdonât make me regret asking, yoongs.â
yOONGS
Y O O N G S
yoongi is instantly walking his ass to the little makeshift dining circle because oh my god YES
he doesnât overstep tho and he just sits in between namjoon and
taehyung as he eats and every few minutes he sneaks a look at you and sometimes you look at him aND ITâS JUST LIKE the start all over again thereâs the last piece of tteokbokki and everyoneâs just feeling it out and looking at it
and yoongi
the bold man that he is
picks it up with his chopsticks aND
oh heâs putting it on your lunchbox
:))))))))
the nightâs late and taehyung called yoongi to say that the car (itâs actually yoongiâs) heâs brought in for a ceramic coating and custom leather seats are all finished and wrapped up
and if he wants, he could go to the shop right now and pick it up since namjoonâs finishing up by the basement anyways and it would still be open then
and he does pick it up
he knows his way around the store
you could either take the stairs or the lift if youâre coming in into kim kradle without a car to go up and down the levels but heâs patient so heâll just take the stairs
what he wasnât expecting though
something that makes him cease his whistling as he goes up to the third floor to fetch his car
is you
rIGHT there
besides his car
and this is the only time that the both of you are alone and his throat is suddenly dry
you know this too though
you were intending to staying up late here just to finish on the car thatâs been brought in two days ago with the broken engine that you think is worth salvaging
and you just wanted to see the view :((
reminisce to how youâve been seeing yoongi in the flesh for six days straight and how you wanna tackle this conflict right to the head but youâre unsure to how :((
it doesnât take a genius to know that yOONGI himself is right behind you
as you are aware too that this is his car that taehyungâs been working on thank u very much
âi want you to know that iâm not giving up on you.â
his words cut through the cold air and it surely gets your attention even if your back is still turned to him as youâre hunched over the balcony
âiâm running out of cars to bring, the one week of presents is ending, and
iâm so cLOSE to putting up a cot so i could sleep here.â
heâs serious about that one
seeing you just makes everything better no matter the circumstance it calms his heart and everything in him and heâs not gonna stop at nO matter what to try and make up for the things heâs done
âbut youâre worth all this.â
yoongi dares to take a step closer and this time you could already see him by your peripheral vision
âyouâre worth it,â and he needs a collective second to exhale the heaviness thatâs sitting on his chest because oh gOd he was really an asshole huh
âi donât know how long itâs gonna take, but iâm willing to wait.â
this is more nerve-wracking than any report card or championship results heâs been ever given and heâs not ashamed to admit that
âi love you, yâknow?â
thatâs the thing heâs been wanting to say for a long time he doesnât know in the first place on wHY the hell was he scared because now that he says it to you, he feels like heâs never been more sure of anything in his life :(((
âgood night, y/n.â
and the main purpose to why heâs here completely escapes his mind
he just misses you sO much that itâs so painful and all he could do is imagine scenarios and look back at all the pictures heâs taken of you half of it heâs sure that you never even noticed him taking
aND IT HITS YOU
something that hits you with the way that his car keys have the sticker of your initials on them
or the way when taehyung asked you out to help him with the leather interior for yoongiâs car and your scrunchie that you mustâve left is wrapped snugly on his handbrake
or how in the final checking for his car did you know that your playlist that you donât even rEMEMBER mentioning to him is the one thatâs on repeat in his radio
yoongi stops the moment that you call out for his name and god heâs closing his eyes because all the worst possible scenarios of you calling for him to stop this is enough to make him cry
youâve also never been more sure of anything in your life
your hand just barely grips yoongiâs arm, staring up at him as you get to notice the features of his that youâve always loved and missed all this time
yoongiâs handâs open and so is your heart for all this
itâs the same keys that heâs went here for the first place, the ones with your intials on as he only realizes now that heâs done that
âdrive me home.â

Omg I wanna know about their relationships/friendships with the rest of the gang/s
YESYESYES LETS GET INTO
darry: darry + yasi donât really talk much but there is def some mutual respect there. like they greet each other with just their names
(darry would be like with a small smile âyasiâ and yasi would respond with a bigger smile âdarryâ)
they def get along just fine tho! but just arenât the bestest of friends! like a âfriend of a friendâ type of dynamic.
two bit: yasi likes to put up a front as if they donât like two bit and are annoyed by his actions, because he probably constantly teases her, but deep down yasi would die for him tee bee hache 𼹠sheâs very blunt so she takes any chance to call two an idiot. very much a sibling dynamic.
steve: so yasi has a very big sibling nature. she has this bc of having to look after her lil brother, but nothing can change their original nature/personality so not in the âno donât do thatđĽşâ way but in the âlisten dude, you fucked up and u cant do that, alright? alright. lets get ice creamâ type of way. so i feel like steve and yasi would be close, even if steve doesnât like her (initially) but then yasi really stood for him once and boom! friendship ever since. yasi is like
âlisten, we canât go around punching anyone we find annoying, okay? repeat after me. âwe cannot go around punching anyone we find annoyingâ repeat it.â
âsigh we cannot go around punching anyone we finâ hey, when did you become such a saint?â
âlisten, i heard darry using this technique and it seemed to work. so shut up and repeat it.â
dally: yasi doesnât like dally & dally doesnât like yasi. simple as that.
soda: yasi + soda donât really get along all that well. soda probably said something to one of yasiâs friends that he didnât mean but yasi is really stubborn and has held it against him ever since. also, since theyâre friends with steve he probably gets jealous.
johnny: yasi treats johnny like a brother and gives him advice about stuff also beats up anyone that crosses him and johnny probably finds it annoying sometimes but he appreciates it. she likes to bring him along with her to places.
pony: pony doesnât like yasi that much because soda doesnât like yasi that much and he thinks sheâs (can be) very stubborn and annoying and full of herself. yasi tries their best to be nice to pony but sometimes they find themselves snapping and being rude. yasi wishes they could fix their problems.
tim: they prolly have a mutual respect for each other and whenever they meet each other they have conversations that they both enjoy. they both stick up for each other when they can.
curly: yasi + curly dont have much of a friendship except for the fact one time when curly was younger, when he fell she picked him up and gave him a piece of candy so curly quite likes them. this makes curly constantly try to convince pony that âshe canât be that badâ.
angela: angela + yasi are bestiesssss they constantly hang out, do each otherâs nails, eat together etc yasi might have a secret lil crush on her.
cherry: yasi flirts with cherry 24/7 and cherry finds it annoying but very sweet. yasi doesnât push themselves onto cherry though, they just like to flirt playfully with each other back and forth.

the one where youâre someone else. [jaemin] [part I]
na jaemin x reader // 2.9k words // high school!au // body switch!au
summary; in which you wake up in someone elseâs body. more than once.
warnings: swearing, confusion, mention of male genitalia
requested; nope
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Groaning, you roll onto your side, searching blindly for the snooze button on your alarm, your head remaining on the pillow. Five more minutes. Please.
...
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. This time you squint your eyes open, sitting up in bed and rubbing your head groggily. You wonder why you feel so tired, and the remnants of your dream drift slowly into your mind.
Scenes flash through your mind in the same frightening way you imagine one would see highlights of their life before they die. The hallway of a high school that is not your own, a bright-eyed boy grinning at you before he sprints away from you, a test that you had definitely not prepared for, a cute cafĂŠ and delicious treats, the strange feeling of not recognising yourself in the mirror...
âY/n!â A voice calls for you from the kitchen, and you hastily slip on a pair of slippers and make your way through the house in search of breakfast. A small frown sits on your motherâs face as she finishes making her own breakfast, âTwo days in a row you havenât been awake on time. Are you sure youâre getting enough sleep? Maybe you should go to sleep early tonight.â
âIâm fine, Mum,â you roll your eyes as she presses the back of her hand against your forehead.
âThis is so unusual for you,â she mumbles, almost to herself. When you push her hand away to reach for the juice, she goes back to her breakfast, momentarily forgetting about the newspaper she had just been reading sitting beside her. âYesterday I was starting to wonder if youâd had some kind of mental breakdown.â She looks up at you then, and you furrow your eyebrows in confusion; youâd been exactly the same yesterday, only less tired.
âItâs⌠been an exhausting week,â you try to find an explanation. She seems satisfied with the answer. Looking at the time, you quickly stand up to rush to your room, âShit. I need to get ready for school.â
You busy yourself with getting ready for school, only a little annoyed at yourself for not having packed your bag last night, the simple disruption to your morning routine adding a few minutes to your normal departure time. You were sure youâd packed it last night, but your belongings scattered around your room clearly disagreed. Quickly sliding your binders, books and laptop into your backpack, you rushed around your room. Luckily, you didnât miss the bus.
âY/n!â Your best friend, Nina, sees you shortly after you enter the front doors of your school. Her excitement to see you is shown in the way she smiles at you, though it shortly changes to a small frown as she looks you up and down. âHow are you feeling?â
âTired,â you answer honestly, shying away from her assessing gaze. Her eyes scan your face.
âNina, would you quit it?â Seungmin laughs, giving her a slight push. You hadnât even noticed him walking up to the two of you. She stumbles, her eyes moving from you to him, narrowing. âSheâs fine,â he states, turning to you now.
âYou were acting so weird yesterday,â she stresses to you, still looking at you tentatively as if she expected you to spontaneously combust any second.
âWhat?â You frown in confusion at them, wondering why they were being so dramatic. Maybe a bad test result made you cry yesterday, but that wasnât exactly out of the ordinary for you. Opening your locker, you tear your gaze from your friends in favour of focusing on piling your books onto the shelf. From the corner of your eye, you can tell theyâre still watching you wearily. âAlright, spill it. Whatâs up?â
âYouâŚâ Nina struggles to find the words.
âIt was like you were a different person,â Seungmin finally says. âYou kept forgetting who you were, where you were, what you were supposed to be doing. We thought you had amnesia or something.â
Furrowing your eyebrows, you look between them again, âYouâre kidding, right?â You think back to yesterday â Tuesday â and canât remember anything out of the ordinary.
âNo, Y/n, weâre dead serious,â Nina responds, eyeing you again.
âI donât know whatâs going on with you guys but I have a class to get to. Mrs Kim has a paper for me,â you grab your history books and close your locker.
Nina looks at Seungmin confusedly, âDonât you have history third period?â He nods. She turns to you again, âY/n, history is third period. We have chemistry first.â
âWe always have history first on a Wednesday,â you smile, rolling your eyes. âCome on, guys, you know I memorised my schedule on the first day.â
Thereâs silence, before Seungmin grabs his phone from his pocket, pressing the button so the screen lights up and dangles it in front of your face, âYeah, well, itâs Thursday, so history is third.â
The bell rings before you can dispute this. Even though, of course, what could you say? It was Thursday â your own phone said so, so they couldnât be messing with you. How could it be that a whole day had slipped from your memory?
You drift between classes in a confused daze, only loosely focusing on the words of your teachers and peers, slowly writing half-finished notes and barely registering when the teacher was giving you homework.
Your focus was primarily on Wednesday â yesterday â and why you couldnât remember anything. There were plenty of memorable things that happened on Wednesdays â you had gym class, your usual ice cream date with Nina and Seungmin, work. Yet, you couldnât remember any of them.
âDid I hit my head yesterday? I canât remember anything at all,â you frown, whispering to Seungmin while Mrs Kim drones on about the cold war.
âMaybe,â he tries to suppress a giggle. âYou sure were acting like you did.â
Yawning, you turn over the page of notes you were adding to, revealing a page of messily handwritten notes that definitely wasnât done by you. The handwriting, for starters, was a messy scrawl that frequently sloped in a downwards direction and overstepped the neatly printed lines on the page. Completely done in black ink, without any highlighting or colour coding the rest of your notes had, you dismissed it as Seungmin writing in your book.
But Seungmin used blue ink almost religiously, and the handwriting didnât match his. Why would Seungmin write âwho am i?â over and over in my book?
Your name was scrawled in the corners of the pages, as if you had forgotten it and needed the reminder.
âY/n,â you were snapped out of your thoughts by Mrs Kim, who was handing out a worksheet. She smiles at you, âAh, so you remember your name today?â Seungmin snickers beside you and you elbow him swiftly, effectively shutting him up. âDid you read my notes on your essay?â
You blush, embarrassed and guilty, âNo, Iâm sorry. I havenât had the ti-â
Mrs Kim gives you a warm smile, âThatâs okay. Let me know when you have.â She walks away, moving on to another student.
Seungmin leans closer to you, his eyes remaining on the teacher, âIâm surprised she didnât mention the fact that you dodged her yesterday after class.â
âHuh?â
âShe wanted to talk to you about the notes on your essay, and you completely ran out! Not as if you had any place to be; Mr Park was late to calculus again.â
âOh. Oh, right,â you mutter, lowering your chin to the desk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âWhere the fuck is my essay?â You groan in frustration. Hyunjin, the poor soul whose locker is right beside yours, startles at your sudden outburst.
âAre you okay?â He shuts the door of his locker gently, leaning against it as he looks you up and down, concern on his face.
âMrs Kim gave me an essay yesterday and I mustâve misplaced it.â Your locker isnât exactly messy, so there are very few loose papers in there. A quick flick through the few documents stashed haphazardly in your locker proved it wasnât in there.
âDonât you have some intense filing system?â His eyes flicker down to the binder in your hand, dividers neatly sectioning off different parts. âIs it not in there?â
âIf it were in here, I wouldnât be searching my locker,â you mumble sadly. His eyes widen.
âRight... Seungmin has history with you, right?â Hyunjinâs attention shifts to something behind you, and he waves a hand, gesturing for someone to come over. âHey, Seungmin!â
âHey, dude,â Seungmin greets. âWhatâs up?â
âY/n is missing a history essay,â Hyunjin helpfully explains. When Seungminâs eyebrows furrow in thought, Hyunjin takes it as an opportunity to leave, and quickly departs down the hallway in search of his own friends.
âDidnât you throw it away?â
âI donât throw away my essays.â
âIâm pretty sure you did. After you walked out yesterday. I saw you put something in the bin,â his eyes flicker to yours. âI just assumed it was rubbish.â
You groan, pressing your forehead against Hyunjinâs locker, whining, âNo.â
âIâm sure Mrs Kim would redo her notes if you asked her. You typed it, didnât you? Just reprint it.â
âYeah, I guess so,â you pout. He smiles warmly at you.
âYouâll be fine, Y/n,â Seungmin rests a hand on your shoulder, attempting to steer you away from the row of lockers and towards the cafeteria, closing your locker door with his foot. âBut now, lunch.â
******************************************************************************************
The rest of the day flies by and, before you know it, youâre in Seungminâs car as he drives you home. The town rushes past you in a flurry of houses and small grocery stores, drive thru restaurants and gas stations, and you struggle to stay awake.
âHey, sleepy head, youâre home,â Seungmin tries to suppress his laughter, giving you a light nudge. âGet out of my car.â
Groaning, you slump away from the door, clumsily finding the door handle and almost falling out of the car, âFine! Iâll see you tomorrow, assface.â
âYeah,â he smiles warmly. âSee you then.â
The hours of the evening are mostly taken up with homework, as you try and get as much done as possible before the weekend. As it steadily approaches midnight, you find youself getting more and more tired, eventually getting to the point where you canât keep your eyes open anymore. And from there, darkness consumes you.
******************************************************************************************
RING! RING! RING! The alarm is loud and so annoying. You wonder why you chose to wake up to this, rather than your usual alarm, and turn to your side, fumbling around for the snooze button, your eyes still shut tight from exhaustion. Your eyes open when instead of hitting your bedside table or your alarm, your hand slams into a wall, eliciting a loud grunt from your mouth. For a second, youâre shocked at how deep your voice sounds, but your shock turns to fear when you realise youâre not in your bedroom.
Youâre in a bedroom, but itâs certainly not your own. The walls are white, covered in posters and photos and a huge wall hanging that has plants growing out of small pots, leaves cascading down the wall. Itâs homely, cute, but not where you expected to wake up â and due to that last fact, horrifying.
You clamber out of bed in search for your clothes, your shoes, your bag, anything that belongs to you. Unable to recall when or how you got here, you wonder if youâre hungover. But you didnât go out last night - on a Thursday - you didnât drink last night, and your head isnât at all sore. Despite the lack of a headache, you still reach a hand up to your head, rubbing it. Your eyes widen at your hair â well, the lack of hair. Itâs short, and you can feel the way itâs sticking up in all directions from sleep.
You rush to the mirror in the corner of the room, screaming when you realise you donât look at all like how you normally look, and screaming louder when you realise your voice is so deep.
Youâre a boy.
Ew, you think.
Wait, you look in the mirror. This is some crazy ass dream.
You take a look around the room, seeing the face in the mirror in the photographs, recognising the familiar brown hair and sparkling eyes. Reaching a hand up to touch your face, you push and pull the skin, watching it move in the mirror. You almost expected it to stay rigid, as if you were wearing a mask. This is so weird.
âJaemin! Are you getting ready for school? Jenoâs going to be here in any minute!â A female voice calls from â presumably â downstairs, and you quickly look around the room. A uniform is hanging on the back of the door â one you donât recognise â and you move to get changed, though something stops you.
You wait a second before responding, in case the voice was calling to someone in the house. When no one responds, you take a leap of faith, âYeah! Iâm getting dressed now!â
You look down briefly at the cold grey pyjama pants youâre â Jaeminâs â currently wearing, and take a deep breath, clenching your eyes shut as you pull the material down. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.
You decide you have to open your eyes when you pull the school shorts on backwards (and you can feel that itâs backwards in ways you could never begin to explain as a girl) and try your hardest to think about anything else. You find the bathroom, which was thankfully located opposite the bedroom, and go about your normal routine as best you can.
The school bag slumped against the wall is empty, and you look around the desk for anything you might have to take with you, packing a few notebooks, a laptop, a pencil case (if you could call it that â it appeared to be a plastic bag with a few pens in it) and a water bottle.
âHey, sweetie,â a beautiful woman greets you as you bound into the kitchen with a lot of energy. Why am I so hyper?
âHey⌠Mum?â You cringe as the greeting comes out more like a question, hiding your face in the fridge.
Luckily, she just laughs. âI know, I know, Iâm not normally in the kitchen.â She notices the way you scan the fridge, âHey! Arenât you and Jeno going to get food before school?â
You freeze, âOh, um, yeah. We are. Iâm just⌠browsing.â
âOkay, well, Iâll see you tonight, Jaem. Have a good day at school,â she kisses you on the top of the head, swiping her hand through your hair before leaving. You try your best to fix it, letting it flop down messily over your forehead.
Spotting an apple and a brown banana in a cracked dish on the counter, you slide the apple into your backpack and begin zipping it up when you hear a honk outside that almost makes you drop everything. You stop to listen, and two more honks follow. Confused, you wait. Thereâs the familiar sound of a car door slamming shut, and then you hear footprints on the front porch of the house. The doorbell rings.
The doorbell is monotonous, and you donât wait for it to finish ringing before you pull the door open, instantly meeting the soft face of a boy your age, a confused look on his face. Youâve seen him somewhere, but you canât place him. âDude, I honked, like, three times. Whatâs going on?â
âOh,â you say, dumbly. You surpise yourself by sounding even dumber with the question that follows, âJeno?â
âYeah?â His eyebrows draw nearer as he frowns at you. âAre you playing that âI donât know who I amâ joke again?â
You force out a laugh, âNo, Iâm just messing with you.â You give him a light punch on the arm, trying to act like every douchebag guy youâve seen in a high school movie. Itâs tragic that you suddenly canât recall how real boys act. âLetâs go,â you push past him, sighing in a way that makes it seem like heâs the one acting weird and not yourself.
His eyebrows raise in surprise, but then he shrugs and heads back to his car, waiting for you to finish locking the house (after much confusion over which key it is).
Once youâre in the car, you pull out the phone that had been sitting beside the bed youâd woken up in and thought thankfully that there was a finger-print unlock feature. Quickly scanning through a few messages, you learnt that Jeno was probably Jaeminâs best friend - and you were in a few group chats; âthe Brosâ, âchemistry lab groupâ, âmarkâs birthday plansâ, âMum & Dadâ, and a few others.
âSo, I was thinking, Hyuckâs having a party at his place tonight, right?â Jeno begins talking, and once you realise youâre going to have to go to this party, too. âHyunjin is coming, and heâs bringing a few girls from his school â you know, that guy we versed in lacrosse a few weeks ago? His parents know my parents and â whatever, itâs not important. Heâs bringing a few girls and Iâm hoping that girl from the game is- Hey! Are you even listening?â Jenoâs eyes flit between you and the road, and you turn to him.
âYeah, yeah, sorry. Did you ask him?â Youâre dying to know if heâs talking about the Hyunjin you know â the real you knows â but youâre too self-conscious to ask too many questions, wanting to just get through the day with as little confusion as possible.
âNah, I donât really know the guy. Heâs friends with Hyuck, though, I think, so maybe heâll know.â
âCan you ask Yuck today?â
Jeno laughs, âAre you bringing back his middle school nickname? Heâs gonna hate you so much for that. But I will, yeah. We have PE together today.â
He pulls into the parking lot of the school, and you vaguely recognise the school, maybe from posters or newspaper adverts, but youâre glad Jeno drove you because at least now you have someone to follow. And, you were unsure whether youâd been able to get to school without him.
You trail after Jeno through the main doors, but he clearly sees someone he knows, because he takes one look back at you before he runs off to catch them, âCatch you later, yeah?â
And itâs right then that it clicks; you know exactly where youâd seen him before: in your dream. Youâd been here before. Youâd seen him before. Youâd been Jaemin before.
Fuck.

DIN YOU JUST ABANDONED YOUR CHILD IN A POT MY DUDE WHY
AHAHAHAHAHAHA YESSSSSS A KRAYT FUCKING DRAGON HELL YEAH HELL YEAH FINALLY AFTER FORTY FUCKING YEARS.
Ngl I was hoping it would look a little more stereotypically âdragon-ishâ cuz Iâve been entertaining this ridiculous fantasy of Obi Wan befriending one in the Kenobi show and learning how to make the noise
But giant angry sand worm friend is also good!
Din bro careful last time you agreed to hunt something on Tatooine with someone new that dude betrayed you
Ohhhh flashback!
Oh for fuckâs sake why are we adding MORE slavery
Yâall know you can also have literally anything fucking else on Tatooine besides slavery
Gah sorry yâall
Lol Jawas again
And more Wilrow Hood ice cream machines!
Ok but so did the Jawas literally fish this off of Bobaâs body, did the Sarlaac shit it out and they found it, or did Boba actually sell it to them?
Oh damn and these ppl probs knew who Boba was too
Oooh dinosaur-hyena thingies
DIN SPEAKS TUSKEN
I LOVE HIM
MARRY ME
Ok but now I REALLY wanna know how Din learned the Tusken traditions
GOOD BOY ALERT! GOOD BOY! ITâS A GOOD BOY! DINOSAUR-HYENA IS A VERY GOOD BOY
TUSKEN CULTURE OH MY GOD IâM LOVING THIS
This is not a time to be a picky eater bruh
Ok there Anakin letâs settle down a bit
DIPLOMACY BY FLAMETHROWER DIN I LOVE YOU
Ok so if you eat a sarlaac does that also technically count as eating two meals since youâre also eating whatever itâs been digesting in its stomach for a thousand years?
Yep Alaskan Bull Worm
OH NO IT SCARED THE BABY :O
Din training a village to fight this thing is a wee bit harder than training them to fight an AT-STsaurus Rex
WHY DONâT WE JUST TAKE THE TOWN AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?
This really is just the stereotypical Western episode but kinder to the natives
Damn
âAre you trying to blow us up?â ooooof they WENT THERE
More teamwork!
âBelly is the weak spotâ hey so like Smaug!
Wait a fucking second I wasnât paying attention did they bring Baby Yoda to where he could possibly get eaten by a dragon again
Oh yeah âdank ferrikâ is another SW curse
Wait why are they just standing there and letting the Tuskens get eaten
Gahhh everyoneâs being so brave Iâm proud of them!!!!! :_:
OH EW FUCKING GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS
Gah I HATE vomit scenes especially unexpected ones
Sorry thatâs like, a super major squick for me
And dammit they didnât even kill the worm
Oh and now itâs up there and VOMITING AGAIN I HATE THAT
Oh shite thatâs acid
Oh please be careful baby
Ok wait wait wait how did the Jawas even salvage Bobaâs jetpack enough to make it fly the whole reason Boba got eaten was because the pack broke
Oh and now Iâm seeing a bit of Jaws in this too
Bro noooo are you gonna blow up that bantha?
DIN NO YOU RECKLESS-ASS BITCH
B o i
Actually let himself get eaten
Din where are your braincells
Aw Baby nooooooo
Uh oh I sense more vomit
Or not!
Ok bro that was p badass
Ok yeah Marshal is p hotÂ
There I said it
ASLDKJFSDLKFKL OF COURSE BABY YODA EATS THE RAW DRAGON MEAT
That guy is hoooooooot
âYou tell your people I wasnât the one who broke thatâ lol yep Han better look out
Huh? We getting excited over MORE eggs?
Oh goddammit and there is Boba Fett because of course
Knew it was too good to be true
Lol sorry yâall just wasnât particularly excited to see him
Guess that means he willingly gave up his armor, huh?
BUT ANYWAY THIS WAS A BRILLIANT EPISODE
AND I LOVED IT
AND THE TUSKENS GOT THE RESPECT THEY DESERVED
Ok but it also seems at least Marshal and the rest of the townsfolk had the same backwards view towards the Tuskens as Anakin did, now I REALLY want to see RESPECTFUL discussion on colonialism on Tatooine, I gotta know more about this
Still super excited for the next ep!
Aaaaaaaaa!

Waaaaaaah!!! I really liked you (internecine/oikawa tooru)!!! Can I ask for a part two? What happened with s/o-chan? Her ex(not Oikawa) is dangerous? Will Oikawa discover the truth? Thanks for writing so well!
A/N: DAMN THE SEQUEL YALL BEEN WAITING FOR dabbled with a smidge of iwaizumi x reader ;)) HANA THIS IS FOR US OIK SUCKERS I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY
sequel to this
querencia. | oikawa tooru
word count: 5437
warnings: blackmail and angst! (+slight gaslighting)
(n.) a place from which oneâs strength is drawn, where one feels at home; the place where you are your most authentic self
Iwaizumi knows Oikawa was strict when it came to volleyball. He knows how riled up he gets whenever he does solo practices. Although that focus came with Oikawaâs obliging reticence, the absence of noise was really pissing him off.
âOikawa, letâs go, dude. We have to lock up soon or the Discipline Committee will chew us out again.â
He noticed a slight glance from the captainâs sepia pools but Oikawa Tooru kept his lips sealed. This guy⌠Iwaizumi grimaced. âHey, I know you heard me. Donât give your old lady grey hairs by coming home late all the time. Letâs go.â
âHey, Iwa-chan, are you devoted to anything?â
Iwaizumi hid a relieved expression. At least Oikawa was finally saying something in full rather than the half-assed responses heâd been giving out the past month.
âHuh? Whatâre you trying to say? Of course Iâm devoted. To volleyball!â Iwaizumi didnât mean to sound angry, but looking at his best friendâs current state, he couldnât help but to clench in frustration.
The blue and yellow ball rebounded from the polished hardwood floors into the setterâs expecting grip. ââŚWas it that? The problem. My âdevotionâ?â
Iwaizumi scratched the back of his neck in earnest before grabbing Oikawaâs wrist to drag him away from the fluorescent spotlight of the gym. Heaving two school bags over his shoulder with his limp friend on the other, Iwaizumi grumbled.
âI donât get any of the shit youâre saying.â
Iwaizumi lied. He knew exactly what Oikawa was talking about.
ââââââ ââ
â ââââââ
Being in the Library Committee came with its own perks.
A peaceful workplace to drown yourself in your own thoughts
Full privilege to a lineup of all the volumes of Hirunaka no Ryuusei
Being the one and only member of the Library Committee
You had always enjoyed the tranquility that the magnificent atrium of papers offeredânot a lot of people scourged for outdated reference books anyway. It was a welcoming interlude from your hectic life⌠Especially with your current state of affairs. But your head was stubbornly rejecting peace.
If it had been a couple months ago, Oikawa Tooru would have been sneaking into the library to avoid getting his head bashed in by Iwaizumi for being âtoo good at Old Maidâ. He would have groaned and whined, subtly asking for your attention to make it all better. You would have refused, a blush betraying your response. Either way you wouldâve surrendered to a single kiss after all.
The impression seemed so distant despite it being so recent.
Oikawa Tooru could find someone better than you. Someone who didnât have this mess piled up upon their shoulders. Someone who wasnât stupid enough to have dated an obsessive, creepy bastard.
You were so sure of the thought⌠but why do you keep remembering the taste of Oikawaâs lips lingering on yours? It had always suggested a hint of peaches and tropical mango juice. Flavors that had sparked fireworks in the depths of your belly.
In the end, you decided you would stop by Lawsonâs after your duties to buy a mango ICE MONSTER bar. Just for the sake of the memory.
ââââââ ââ
â ââââââ
âAh. L/N-san.â
You cursed yourself to a million deaths. What on Earth did you pull to get karma this big? You were sure the constant suppression and cold shoulders from school were enough to cover for your sins against their volleyball superstar. But to encounter said superstarâs best friend at the convenience store (especially with your theatrical âbaton passâ to him a month prior) was beyond your gravest punishments.
âI-Iwaizumi-san! Funny to see you here.â
âAinât this the only convenience store in the area though?â
God, you idiot. Just canât keep your mouth shut, can you?
In the deserted frozen food aisle, two Aoba Johsai third years stood faced off with one another. If it were one of your younger brotherâs RPG games, Iwaizumi wouldâve been an impossibly matchless boss levelâemanating all sorts of auras that screamed âINDOMITABLEâ. And you? A level one player with only a wooden stick at your siege.
Crossing his arms, he huffed. âAnyway, L/N-san, I wanted to talk to you aboutââ
You prepared yourself for another blow like always. He was probably going to talk about that. But this time, your legs acted faster.
âUm, I have to go! Goodbye, Iwaizumi-san!â
âHuh? Hang on a sec! L/N-san!â
Iwaizumi Hajime, ace of Aoba Johsai Boysâ Volleyball Club, was chasing you. Why was he chasing you?! Your head spun with images of him cutting you up into pieces to serve for Oikawaâs breakfast, lunch and dinner. Merciless. Brutal. Vile. Was this his way of getting you back for dumping Oikawa on his shoulders?
You let out a small shriek, zipping past a bicycle parked horizontally on the sidewalk. Maybe with his large size, Iwaizumi would have to slow down a bit, giving you a chance toâ
Vaulting over the bicycle, Iwaizumi only became hairs closer to your hurrying form. âWait! L/N-san!â
âPlease donât kill me!â You sobbed, turning into a corner. âI have a family I still want to come home to!â
âWhat the hell are you talking about?â he yelled, the hoarseness of his voice striking horror in your legs. âYou didnât pay for your ice cream!â
âHa?!â
After dropping off 195 yen on the shop counter and dutifully bowing your head to the cashier at least ten times, Iwaizumi escorted you to the storeâs entrance, the light amber of the sky gracing his stern features. For a moment, Iwaizumi Hajime, ace of Aoba Johsai Boysâ Volleyball Club, seemed like a normal high school boy instead of the terrifying column of pure muscle.
âSorry for chasing you like that⌠You got the wrong idea and everything too,â he chuckled, low vibrations bobbing in his Adamâs apple.
âIt was my fault too,â you cringed, head empty with only the thought of your animalistic instincts kicking in to take you away from âdangerâ. âI was just shocked that anyone would talk to me right now.â
ââŚIs that so⌠B-by the wayâŚâ
You almost forgot that you had run away just as he was about to beat you to a pulp with his words. You held your breath, feet rooted in place now that you had learned that there was no way you could beat an ace in races.
âWeâre on Cleaning Duty tomorrow, right? Donât forget and bail on me like that asshole Takahashi does.â
Gradually, you felt a Worldâs Biggest Idiot crown settle on your head. You breathed through your nose and muttered a sullen âyes, yesâ before turning around and going your own fine way home. Of course, after apologizing once more to Iwaizumi for making him chase you distances just so you would pay for your treat.
Watching your back shrink into the golden horizon, Iwaizumi scratched his head, heart heavy with the weight your words carried. He probably shouldnât have stalled his real question to you like that.
ââââââ ââ
â ââââââ
Becoming the enemy of Aoba Johsaiâs general public didnât seem so bad at first. At least they werenât doing all the malicious shoujo manga-esque type of torture. No carved out voodoo dolls or vandalized tabletops.
But the thought didnât make your sentence seem lighter.
When you had been with Oikawa, everyone suddenly wanted to get to know you. To eat lunch with you. To invite you to hangouts. Now that youâve broken him, your only worthy punishment was to be broken tenfold.
How cowardly of me. You scowled, the contours of the broom handle etching itself on your palms. I donât even know if half of Daisukeâs threats were realâŚ
If the texts hadnât sounded so genuine, you would have probably been laughing it off with Oikawa right now. But you werenât. And that made you hate yourself for it.
âL/N-san, you okay?â
Pulled back into reality by your ever placid Cleaning Duty partner, you cleared your throat and swept the remaining bits of grime onto the fluorescent green dustpan.
âY-yeah. Iâm alright,â you said eyes flickering from his sharp ones.
Iwaizumi mustâve had some sort of sixth sense because his doubting gaze did not falter the slightest. âReally? You seem especially off today, though. You hungry or something?â
Now he was toying with you. âNo Iâm not.â
As if it had been cued, your stomach growled and you gritted your teeth in defeat. Stupid, stupid digestion.
âIf youâre free after this, Iâll treat you to lunch. We need to talk about some unfinished matters, L/N-san.â
âButââ
âItâs about Oikawa.â
ââââââ ââ
â ââââââ
The scent of pork and shoyu weaved into your senses, blinding you with flavor. In the midst of burly men and hearty-looking meals plastered in bold in the quaint shopâs menu, a small high school girl like you did not mingle well with her surroundings.
Sitting across from you was Iwaizumi, attention pinned on a flimsy laminated piece of paper with a list of ramen that seemed to drone on and on. In the heat of the place, both of you had shed your blazers, draping them over the back of your rickety seats. Seeing Iwaizumiâs sleeves rolled up, you shivered at the thought of what those arms could do to you if you had run away from him again.
âMaster, Iâll have the Aka Tonkotsu ramen today. Large with extra pork slices as always,â he piped up, catching the brisk nod of the shop owner from the corner of his work station. âHow âbout you, L/N-san?â
âUm⌠a glass of mineral water, please. Iced.â
The ramen master and Iwaizumiâs faces twisted into expressions of concern and offense. You were sure you had attracted the attention of few others too with your order⌠but what was so wrong with just having water though? It wasnât like you really enjoyed ramen. And your visit here wasnât really much of your choiceâŚ
âCome on, you have to have the ramen here. Iâm paying anyway,â Iwaizumi wanted to add in a comment that the prices at this particular shop were extravagantly affordable, but he chose to miss out on that. âDo you like spicy food?â
âI suppose I doââ
Iwaizumi grinned knocking on the wooden table to gain the masterâs attention once more. âMake that two large bowls of Aka Tonkotsu, Master!â
You sputtered, ears barely registering his words. âL-large? Iwaizumi-san, I wonât be able to finish that!â
âHuh? Why not though? Your stomach growled really loudly back at school, Iâm sure youâll down the entire thing in seconds. But itâd mostly be caused by how good the ramen here is.â
You noticed how the ramen masterâs ears flashed a bright pink. Seriously, how blatant can this guy be with his words⌠You were sure with the way Iwaizumi talked, he could either have all the girls in Japan swooning over his honesty or have everyone else throwing nasty glances at him. You fell into the latter category.
âAbout Tooââ you paused, although insistent on breaking the frosty wall between the both of you. âOikawa. I-is he doing well?â
âWell heâs obviously acting more differently than he used to,â Iwaizumi replied in blunt, hands centered on trying to pull the modest pair of wooden chopsticks apart cleanly. Snap. A small chunk of the second chopstick had awkwardly stuck with the first; Iwaizumi frowned. âWhyâre you asking? Didnât you guys break up?â
You puffed out fumes from your nose indignantly. âArenât you the one who invited me here to talk about him? Iwaizumi-san, if youâre not going to say anything important Iâd rather leave than have you toy with my time.â
Iwaizumiâs hand reached out to scratch his napeâan old habit you had noticed from him countlessly in class, especially when he seemed nervous. âAlright, alright. Geez⌠donât tell anyone about it but Iâm worried about Oikawa. Trust me, I can tell when heâs being serious about practicing volleyball and when heâs just plain⌠letting loose. I suspected it had something to do with you because all heâs been doing is mope around like a beaten dog after you dumped him.â
You gulped.
âWhy did you break up with him? I know he could be a crappy jerk with volleyballs for brains, but I know he wonât put his ambitions over someone he cares aboutâhe learned that from his first relationship. So why did you do it? Was he finally getting on your nerves too? Or did you get bothered by his fanclub?â
Your hands gripped your skirt until your knuckles turned white. Iwaizumi definitely wasnât the first person to drop the question on you. But that didnât make you less nervous whenever you had to respond. Deciding to dodge the bullet like always, you went for a simple âitâs complicatedâ.
âTwo large bowls of Aka Tonkotsu ramen, one with extra pork slices!â the ramen master announced, a bell of dismissal to your relief. âPlus a glass of iced water for the young miss.â
Watching the master limp back to his post, you didnât notice Iwaizumi sprinkle a dollop of chili powder into his bowl, his sharp gaze cutting through your body. âWhatever. Iâll get it out of you one way or another. You wouldnât have told me to take care of Oikawa if it wasnât a serious problem.â
You slipped a stray strand of hair behind your ear, picking up your own chopsticks in the process. Despite the fear that pooled in your stomach from Iwaizumiâs promise, you couldnât help to anticipate for a person to share the heinous truth with. Murmuring a soft âthank you for the foodâ, you decided that the truth belonged to another day and enjoyed your meal in silence.
ââââââ ââ
â ââââââ
Apparently, Iwaizumi did see your mouth forming the request. When he had brought it up at the ramen shop, you felt your entire universe fall apart at its core. You wanted to punch yourself for even thinking up such an shameless action. Whispering to him to take care of someone he spent his life tackling was useless. Pressing your face into your pillow, you wondered if you could sleep yourself to dematerialization.
Tugging you out from your misery, your cell phone vibrated in vigor before dropping still on your bedside table.

Yo. Itâs Iwaizumi, save my number ok? I hope you enjoyed the ramen. Did you get home safe?
Right. You and Iwaizumi had exchanged numbers after he had paid an amazingly cheap price for the ramen. The surprisingly succulent ramen that had you gulping down the bowl until it was drainedâjust like what heâd promised. Youâd hate to admit he was right so soon thoughâŚ

Thanks for the ramen ^_^~ Also, I got home in one piece, so donât worry about it.
A few moments after you had pressed the send button, another text came flying into your inbox. Two texts. From two entirely different contacts. The first one was Iwaizumiâs.
From: Iwaizumi Hajime
Subject: You didnât answer my question
09:36 PM
About our topic of discussion today⌠are you going to tell me the truth or not? I donât want to pry it out of a girl, itâd be rude assuming weâve only started to officially talk today. But just so you know, I wonât give up until I know the reason. It pisses me off to see Oikawa so moody every day. I hope youâll understand.
Your fingers hovered over your keyboard for a few moments too long to string together a coherent reply. Iwaizumi was a prime example of trust and valour. Sure, you had considered yourself a knight after âprotecting Oikawa from your dangerous ex-boyfriendâ, but now you just seemed like a jerk.
Scrolling over to see the second text loitering in your messages, you felt your blood vessels tighten. The senderâs name was seven syllables long. Seven syllables that you had hoped to never have to thread together ever again.

I knew youâd listen to me, Y/N-chan~ You were always such an obedient one, such a good girl. Now that that good-for-nothing playboy has his hands off you, we can be together right? Of course, weâll have to wait until you graduate high school but thatâs just a matter of time.
Weâll get married, Y/N-chan. Iâll make you as happy as you can ever be, even if we have to elope. Iâll even buy us a house in Tokyo, just where you wanted⌠You made a right decision to leave Oikawa, if you didnât, I know itâd make you suffer just being in his presence. You belong with me, Y/N-chan, not with anyone above our insignificant roles. Heâd make you feel small for the rest of your life⌠but Iâm here for you.
I hope you wonât be unfaithful to me as we count down to the days when we shall begin our lives together. I love you~
Your lips curled into a flat line. All the blood had drained from your fingertips, leaving the fluorescent light of your cell phone to eerily illuminate through the limpid skin. You wanted to vomit, to wail, to look for and tell someone. But who? You couldnât possibly run and cry to Oikawa. Hell, Iwaizumi and your âfriendsâ were out of the question. And your parents would overreact, making matters worse.
âI hate this,â you grunted, tossing your phone onto the couch across your bed. Maybe you could sleep it off like you usually did. Alas, you didnât seem to receive a wink of sleep at all. This is bad, you finally admitted.
ââââââ ââ

Iwaizumi Hajime had made it a habit (and a nuisance) to stumble in the library or other parts of the area after school to drag you to the ramen shop and fruitlessly attempt to wring even a droplet of truth from you. On the bright side, the food was always tasty, and you had adapted yourself to genuinely enjoy ramen as a delicacy. Plus, when it came to Iwaizumiâs savory bribes, you never even had to think about pulling your wallet out of your pocket!
Throughout the course of your âinterrogationsâ, you had also learned that Iwaizumi was just an awkward puppy hiding beneath a shell of a raucous yankii. Of course, this was all fueled by his concern for his best friend, but nevertheless, you discovered that it didnât take much to revert the almighty volleyball ace into a flustered mess of a high schooler.
You came to realize why Oikawa loved to tease him to the brim. And why they had stuck together for so long. In fact, if Iwaizumi had been a girl, you were dead sure that Oikawa would pick him over youâhe was everything you werenât and so much moreâŚ
Idiot, how long has it been already? Stop thinking about things like that, you braced yourself. Slapping yourself with the leather-bound cover of a weathered Chemistry textbook, you diverted your focus back on the cart of new books you were supposed to arrange.
Quiet hours in the library was especially your favorite time, of course, until Iwaizumi had recently interrupted it with persistence despite his prior knowledge that your duties wouldnât end until half an hour later. Another trait of his, you had come to realize, was that he was unbearably annoying when he didnât get what he wanted.
Hearing the clack of the library doorâs swing (though much quieter than Iwaizumiâs usual loud shove), you scowled, eyes twitching in annoyance.
âIwaizumi-san, for the last time! Stop coming in here if youâre not going to read or borrow a book. And donât ask me the same question over and over again, I canât tell you why it happened because itâs tooââ
Crap.
You felt your heart jump at the sight of a pair of umber eyes that roused an emotion from deep within your memory. You almost didnât recognize him. He looked taller, much more sturdy. And way too drained.
âY-Y/N-chan,â Oikawa murmured, your name dripping honey on his tongue like it always had.
You didnât even stop yourself from calling him by his name. âTooruâŚâ
You swore you could lock eyes with him for eons. Subtle glances in the hallway didnât compare to being in Oikawaâs light. When you were with him, he made you feel warm. You missed that warmth. You missed him.
âWhat are you doing here?â you managed to sputter, eyelids freezing up.
When he broke from your gaze, you felt your heart plummet and shatter. âI just needed to look for a reference book for my English homework.â
It hurt. When you were dating, Oikawa never let the both of you dwindle in silence. He knew silence sickened you to the stomach. When you had broken up with him, he didnât let silence waver over him either. But having the absence of noise barricading you from him, you felt cold.
âA-ah, you must mean Ogawara-senseiâs literary taskâŚâ you murmured, drinking in the appearance of his face, tracing pre-existing etches of it in your head. âDo you want me to help you look for them?â
How stupid of you to ask. Oikawa basically had the map of the library emblazoned on the back of his hand. You would knowâit all came from the secret rendezvous heâd pull you into while you still had deemed yourself worthy of being loved by him.
âThat would be nice,â he smiled shyly.
You led him into a warmly lit section pulsing with the livelihood of foreign words. Gliding between the wide space between the shelves, your fingers slipped through the seams across the books. It didnât take you more than 2 minutes to locate a volume spilled with the wisdom you needed to ace Ogawara-senseiâs class.
âWilliam Faulkner? I thought you didnât enjoy those kinds of works,â Oikawa murmured, almost teasing as he thumbed through the fragrant pages of ink.
Eyes tracing the lettering of âA Rose for Emilyâ, you said, âI donât particularly dislike this one. Tragic endings arenât my cup of tea, but the romance really sucks you in.â Â
âI almost forgot how much of a shoujo otaku you were,â he chuckled, laughter like small bells tinkling in the soft wind. âYou always look so serious, but figuring out that you were a sap was the funniest part.â
You puffed out your cheeks indignantly, âItâs not like I can help it! You want me to help you or not? GeezâŚâ
Oikawaâs laughter ruptured in the great expanse, a contagious feeling bubbling in your throat. âSorry, sorry. Itâs justâ itâs nice to see you again, thatâs allâŚâ
Your heart burst into streams of golden confetti, drawing universes within your chest like Oikawa used to do. He was always more different with you. Less fake, more genuine. More honest. You still hadnât figured out why heâd go after you, especially with all the pretty girls willing to throw themselves in front of a train for him. You didnât even have enough guts to ignore your ex-boyfriend.
All the wondering made you dizzy, you wanted to sit down, but Oikawaâs desolate eyes chained you to your spot. Iwaizumi was right. He looked like he had thrown himself across the gym a couple times before staying wide awake for 48 hours. As much as you hated to admit, you wanted to help him.
âTooru, Iâmââ
âFound you!â Both of your heads snapped towards the library entrance, blasted open haphazardly by a burly third year student.
âIwaizumi-san!â
âIwa-chan?â
A sly grin crept up the boyâs features, making him look more of an ogre than usual. You felt an uneasy lump dissolving in the pits of your stomach, from the corner of your eye, you spotted Oikawa slumping in what seemed to be defeat.
âJust as planned. Now, anyone hungry for ramen?â
ââââââ ââ
â ââââââ
This was by far the most quiet meal youâve had with Iwaizumi and Oikawaâcombined and separately. You didnât even dare to excuse yourself to the restroom. You havenât even touched your food either, for all you knew, it was probably already cold.
On the other hand, Iwaizumi was already stuffing his face with todayâs special lobster ramen. âWhatâs wrong, L/N? Ainât hungry? Itâs your favorite dish too.â
Your brows pointed downwards in an annoyed scowl. Iwaizumi wasnât known to be the best at reading situations anyway. You kicked his shin below the sunken space beneath the table, taking care that Oikawa wasnât looking.
âRight! Nearly forgot,â if Iwaizumi hadnât been someone who towered over you, you wouldâve pestered him for being such a nuisance. âI damn hope you know why youâre both here.â
You gulped, cheeks reddening at the mention.
âSorry, is there something I should know about?â Oikawa smiled faintly, a heavy air of concern draped over his shoulders. Sweat began to clump in your palms.
âHa? Of course you do! Youâve gotta know why L/N broke up with you, right?â
âI-Iwa-chan! I donât think thatâs appropriate to talk about right now. I know for whatever reason Y/N-chanâs got for it, itâs a respectable choice.â Liar. You know I was just being a coward for not telling you, you pursed your lips.
âItâs only respectable until we know what it is,â Iwaizumi boomed, eyes boring into your shrinking figure. âThings donât just happen for a reason, right, L/N? Itâs okay if you tell us.â
ââŚâ
âL/N, itâs for Oikawaâs good. Didnât you say you wanted him to be happy?â
âStop that, man. Donât force her,â Oikawaâs tone wavered between anguish and warning. You almost wanted to leap into his arms. He was so close, sitting right next to you, but for some reason he felt miles away. âButâŚâ
Sucking in a deep breath, you blinked back the tears that threatened to spill. âI donâtââ
The shrill ring of your phone shattered the torrential dilemma that hung in the air. Glancing at the number, you paled to the tips of your toes, all color lost from your skin. No, no, no, no. Not here. Not now.
Throwing your school bag over your shoulder, you stood shakily, hand gripping your phone like a vice. âI-I have to go.â
Turning your back on the two boys, you quickly hurried out the door of the shop, hands too tremulous to drop a tip in the glass jar adorning the entrance. He shouldnât be here. Why was he here? Youâve had enough. No more. Hanging around Oikawa and Iwaizumi was a deadly mistake youâd swore youâd never repeat. But you were a mere mortal who fell too easily to the temptations of forbidden love. A love you could never have.
âY/N-chan!â a plush hand wrapped itself around your elbow, throwing you back against a solid wall of warmth. A distinct scent of peaches and mango juice pressed against the crown of your hair, a familiarity you would be forced to pry yourself from.
âTooru, pleaseâŚâ a single drop escaped your quivering eyes, rolling down your cheek, clumping at your chin. âI canât do this. You have to let me go.â
âAt least tell me what I did wrong. Was I not devoted enough? Did I offend you in some way? Or did you find someone elseâŚ?â The bob of his throat wobbled against your head. âIâm sorry that I loved you. Iâm sorry.â
To hell with it. Turning in his grasps, you looked into his glassy hues, shining with tears, laced with the afterglow of genuine affection. For you.
âDonât you ever apologize for loving someone. If someone has to apologize, itâs me!â you barked at him, tears streaming down your face, hot in its trail. âI made a mistake for loving the wrong person. Iâm sorry I had feelings for such a psychopath. This was before I met you. Now heâs out to get us and itâs all my faultâŚâ
You paused, burying your face into his uniform, taking in the deep pitter patter of his heart.
âIâm scared, Tooru⌠Heâs been sending threats to me. I donât want him to hurt you⌠Please, help me,â you sobbed, ignoring the incoming echo of a lone walker approaching the scene.
âY/N-chin?â
Dark eyes stared back at yours, emptiness filling it, only a murderous aura emanating from the figure. You watched as Daisukeâs fist closed, veins popping for the world to see. You wondered how your day could get any worse.
âTraitor! You left that bastard just to run back to him?!â he growled against the silent backdrop of the market district. âI promised you a life where you wouldnât have to feel so inferior. I sincerely love you, Y/N. Why canât you understand that weâre the type of people who canât fit in with assholes like⌠him.â
When Oikawa stepped between the both of you, you felt your heart drop and hang dangerously on a thin string held together by your prayers. âAre you the guy whoâs been threatening Y/N-chan the whole time?â
Daisuke turned to you, leering viciously. âOh, so Iâm the bad guy? Donât do this to me, Y/N-chin. You belong with me. You know that.â
âShe doesnât belong to anyone. Leave her alone, she obviously doesnât want to be with you.â
A quick gleam of a silver blade caught the gentle light of the setting sun and you felt your mouth go dry. Before a scream could escape your mouth, a vivid thud then a crunch thundered in your ears. You didnât even want to open your eyes. You didnât think you could even see with the flood of tears clustering your vision.
âY/N-chan? Y/N-chan! Itâs okay,â Tooru. âItâs okay now. I-I knocked him out.â
Wrenching your eyes wide, you saw Oikawa crouched next to you on the ground, rubbing circles onto your back as he nestled himself in your shoulder. Behind him was Daisuke. Laid spread-eagle on his back, the menacing cutter now seeming so small in his large grip. Next to his bruised head was a single volleyball shoe.
Just about the size of Oikawaâs sock-clad right foot.
ââââââ ââ
â ââââââ
A month later
âAinât Captain awfully chipper lately?â Kindaichi muttered to his upperclassmen, balancing a ball on his fingertips, only to have it bounce to the floor in an instant.
Hanamaki, while unlacing the intricate knots adorning the nets, shot the first year an incredulous look. Sighing, he said, âYou really havenât heard at all, havenât you?â
Kindaichi felt it would be too embarrassing to say. He kept quiet.
âHe made up with his girlfriend recently. Turned out, she was being threatened by her psycho of an ex-boyfriend if she didnât break up with him. The guyâs finally behind bars, so I guess that contributes to it too.â
Kindaichiâs eyes lit up. Oh, he knew about this. âIâve seen that before on the news! Man, must be pretty scary for Oikawa-sanâs girlfriend⌠I honestly wouldnât be able to do anything if I were her. Thatâd put too much mental strain on me.â
From behind him, Matsukawa snickered, ruffling the boyâs hair casually, earning him a dirty look. âDonât try to compare yourself to L/N-san. The tips of your haircut will catch fire if you had the same amount of stress she did.â
âGrilled Napa Cabbage!â
âHanamaki-san, donât tease!â
From the other side of the gym, Oikawa Tooru eyed his phone glassily, his pupils on the verge of forming hearts. It was over. It was finally over. Now he was back to his previous routine, with a dash of something new everyday. Same as always. He loved that alwaysâthat always was you.
L/N Y/N: I canât wait to eat with you and Iwaizumi-san today! Thank you Tooru
Oikawa Tooru: Are you sure you donât want to eat somewhere we usually do? I was a bit surprised that you invited us to the ramen shop âŽ( Ë ď˝¤ Ë )â
L/N Y/N: Ehhhh??? Do I have to cancel reservations? Do you want to eat somewhere else??
Oikawa Tooru: Just kidding Y/N-chan~ ââ(ăăâ) I want to see how much red peppers you can add to your broth before passing out â
L/N Y/N: Mean!! ( `ξ´ )
Oikawa Tooru: Ehehe~
âOikawa, letâs go. L/Nâs probably waiting for us already,â Iwaizumi called out from the gymâs doors, mouth nearly frothing at the image of free bowls of ramen that he didnât have to pay for tonight.
Waving off his best friend, he turned to his screen to type out one last message, a soft smile adorning his face. âHappy birthday, Y/N-chan. Iâll cherish you today, tomorrow and the days after that. Thank you for loving me as me.â

Note
I need me some quality content and this is the best place for it. Could I get some being Steve's sister and dating Robin? (If that already exists somewhere then please direct me to it bc this idea is like crack to me) Thanks!!
Yo! I've just gotten back into Tumblr since quarantine has given me an abundance of time. I can guess that you ended up getting this elsewhere, anon, but for the folk who also want to read about wlw Robin B and Big Bro Steve - this ones for you!Â
Enjoy x
I DoÂ
âTurn that shit down! GOD! I feel Iâm listening to them in concert.â Steve was screaming from downstairs for me to turn my music down and before I could move an inch to do so, he barged through the door. âLook, I donât want another complaint from Mrs. Fritz next door. Can you please turn it down. I promised mom and dad that the roof would still be on this place by the time they got home. Iâm heading to work. The money for delivery is on the table. Just try not to get yourself into bother, OK?âÂ
âYeah, sure, sorry Steve. What time will you be home?â our parents are both out of town on business and so Steve has been appointed man of the house. Last time we were left alone, Mrs. Fritz called the police on us, placing a noise complaint. It was just me playing my radio a little bit too loud in my room. My bedroom window is right next to her living room.Â
âI��ll be home around 8. Do you want to wait till Iâm home to order pizza?â
âSure thing, dudeâ I answered, giving him a thumbs up and a grin.
âYouâre a goof. Iâll see you at 8.â
Steve and Iâs relationship is reasonably good for the average brother and sister. Heâs a year older than me and has the same interests. Such as; Hair, Pizza, our looks, and girls. Iâve known Iâve been into girls since I was a little kid but dad would kill me if I ever brought a girl home. Mom would be a little more understanding, yet still against the idea - and I donât even know how Steve would react if he found out. I think heâs the only person Iâd be fully comfortable telling, but I don't want to risk it going the complete opposite way.
I hear the door slam and decide to get out of my pajamas and actually DO something today. The schools broke up for summer last week and all Iâve been doing is reading, listening to music, and waiting for my best friend Jennifer to get home from vacation and tell me all about it. Sheâs due home in three days. I finally muster up enough self-motivation to move from my cozy, pink bed to the bathroom. The cold tiles under my feet wake me up and I stare at myself in the mirror for a bit. I had managed to grow a little spot just below my hairline (which I quickly treated with zit cream) but that was about as far as the flaws went. I usually take good care of myself; drinking enough, taking my vitamins, brushing my teeth after every meal. I do care about my looks and I shouldnât be ashamed of that. It helps gets me a lot of attention in school, and Iâve never been an outcast. I guess having Steve as a big brother does contribute to the high school fame, but I donât let it get to me much. I'm just glad Iâve gotten through high-school without being bullied at least once. I looked at my scraggly hair. I had just had a perm done two weeks ago and it seemed to be holding up pretty well. I scrunched my hair to make it look nice and messed it up a bit to give it volume.Â
In the kitchen, there was the money on the table, like Steve said, and a note next to it.Â
Save me a slice! Steve :)
He mustâve written the note then realized that a slice won't suffice after a long shift at his dorky Scoops Ahoy! job, and asked me to wait up for him. It's a shame people donât get to see this side of Steve and I. I know how we come across to other people. Iâve heard the odd remark here and there about how heâs a player and Iâm a priss. It mostly comes from the social outcasts in the school, the ones who arenât in our friend circles, and donât get to see what weâre really like. Even then, our school personalities are a bit of a performance to uphold our popularity. Only Steve knows my real self and vice verses, and we both understand why it has to be like that. Its an unspoken rule type thing.Â
I open the fridge and get some milk for cereal. I pour a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Fred smiles at me from the box as I grab the phone off the wall and dial Amandaâs number.Â
âHey Mands, you want to go to the mall todayâ
ây/n! Hi! That sounds great. I need a new outfit for my date with Justin on Friday.â
âCool, so, 12? That sound ok?â
We agreed on 12:30 (since she had to take her dog on a walk) and she suggested we meet outside the Gap. Soon enough, 12:30 rolls around and I see Amanda smiling wildly at me, where she said she'd be, outside the Gap. She sweeps me into a warm hug and we gush about how much weâve missed each other since school broke up.Â
âOk, so I need to go to Claires to get some earrings.â I agree to help her find a pair that would, quote âmake Justin harder than math.â I donât really understand how a pair of earrings could do this to a guy, or even if guys pay attention to earrings at all, but I was open to being proved wrong. We start making our way to the stairs when Amanda realizes sheâs suddenly craving ice cream. I put it down to the fact that there were Scoops Ahoy! Adverts on every trash can (Iâm unsure if that is a sign or not). We make a detour to Steveâs work and I make a plan to pull a few strings to get a free cone or two. We enter the ice cream parlor and⌠Steve isnât there. Instead, a girl with short blonde hair is serving the queue of customers.Â
I squint at her, trying to remember her name. Rosie? No, that's not it. It begins with an R for definite. Its to do with an animal⌠a R-R-Robin! Her name is Robin. And sheâsâŚpretty? Like, really pretty. And not very girly? I canât tell since sheâs wearing a silly uniform⌠but god, is she pretty.Â
As Iâm staring at her, a slew of slurs come racing into my mind. Slurs I panicked were being shouted at me down the halls but never were. They were always aimedâŚat her. At Robin. Words beginning with D and F that make my blood boil. Chip, A boy in my own friend group, muttering âStay away from my sister, homo!â In class. I put a hand up to my mouth to hide a gasp. This girl was outed, by someone she thought was her friend from band, in Hawkins - which isnât known for being the most accommodating and accepting town.
Amanda and I reach the front of the queue and I find myself unable to look directly at the girl serving me.Â
âHi! Welcome to Scoops Ahoy! What can I get you today?â She seemed overly enthusiastic for some reason.Â
âHi, is Steve here?â I say, breaking the awkwardness I had built up in my own mind. She looked away, disheartened? I couldnât tell.Â
âSteve, your sisters hereâ then she whispered something that sounded like âyou can leave your little nerd friend to figure it out for a bitâ but I wasnât really sure.Â
Steve appeared from around the corner.
âwhat do you want, squirt?âÂ
â2 sundaes pleaseâ I replied, smiling.
âthat will be five dollars pleas-â
âSTEVE! Canât you gift your baby sister with a sundae for once?â I cut him off, appalled that heâs making me pay, but still keeping it lighthearted.Â
ââŚfine. But only this ONE TIMEâ he shot back. I winked at him, thanked him, and waited for him to finish our sundaes. He brought them over and sat with us.Â
âWhoâs that girl?â I instantly questioned, trying not to sound too interested but failing miserably.
âOh, that's Robin Buckley. Sheâs in your year at school, donât you know her?â I do know her. But I donât want to admit that yet, I want to play it cool.
âI think Iâve seen her around yeah, Iâve just never had a good look at her before. I think sheâs in my social studies class?â I look to Amanda to ask this question but Amanda is already nodding by this point. Steve looks unconvinced.Â
âwell, I invited her for pizza tonight,â he said, not wanting to ask âis that ok?â In front of Amanda to keep up his macho âIâm Steve Harringtonâ persona. I glance over at Robin. By this time, sheâs known as lovely Robin in my head. Not that I could help it, along with the butterflies in my stomach or the extreme excitement that she was going to be having dinner. With me. In my house. Tonight!⌠What am I doing? Get a grip of yourself! Youâre not out - as if that is ever going to happen anyways - and Robin was coming for Steve. Of course she was. I mentally roll my eyes. Just my luck.
The rest of the day goes by pretty quickly. Amanda gets her outfit and âmathâ earrings - which I still donât understand - and I get a few cute t-shirts and skirts thanks to my allowance mom gave me before she went away. By the time I get home, it is 4 pm which means I have precisely 4 hours to get myself ready for tonight. I go to my room, read for a bit, then put my makeup on in my vanity mirror. I donât want to mess this up, but then again, why am I caring so much?. I eventually get myself sorted and wait for 8 pm to roll around. At 7:45 I phone Halâs Pizza Shop and order 2 pepperoni pizzas and 1 plain Margherita. I came to the decision that If Robin is vegetarian then she can have the just cheese, but if not, Iâll take it. Â
I hear Steveâs key in the lock and he shouts to me from downstairs.
âHey that's me back, y/n, did you order the pizza?âÂ
âSure did!â I came to the top of the stairs and looked down at the front door. Robin was staring up at me and I couldnât help staring at her back. Steve obviously missed this whole exchange of tension.
âGood! Because Iâm starving. Iâm gonna put a video on, anyone down for watching Indiana Jones?â He mimics a whipping sound and runs off to the living room, leaving Robin and me to awkwardly start a conversation.Â
âSo, you work with Steve. Iâll apologize on your employer's behalf.â I laugh, eventually. Robin looked relieved that I had said something, and even more so that it was a joke.Â
âIt's not as bad as you would think, he brings in loads of customers with that âmagnificent hairââ she replies, making fun of Steveâs obsession with his, admittedly, perfect mane.Â
âIâve seen you about school before, sorry Iâve never talked to you before,â I said. I really meant it, she seems cool. And kinda hot? But that wasnât important to meâŚ
âYeah, I guess our groups donât tend to mix as much. I'm surprised you even know my nameâ she looks at her feet. She knows I know about the slurs and bullying, I can tell. Just then, there's a ring at the door and Steve reappears, running to get the door that we are standing 2 inches away from.Â
After sitting, eating, chatting, and laughing our way through Indiana Jones, I realise Steve has fallen asleep beside me. So does Robin. We both snicker at him and then collectively tuck him in with the blankets on the back of the sofa. We sit in silence for a minute.Â
âRobin. I want to say I'm sorry for all the stuff you get called at school. It's not cool and especially from my group-â
âit's fineâ she cuts me off. She seems distant though.Â
âI donât think you understand what it does to me hearing people shout words like that at someone. It's inhuman,â Robin looks at me over her cup of hot chocolate Steve made us halfway through the movie. She looks on the verge of tears. âI mean, I donât know how I would cope with that if people knew I was one too.â I look away from her confused stare in embarrassment. Robin is the first person I tell this massive secret to and I've only been in her company for the past 3 hours? But it felt right. It felt too right, almost.
Robin picks herself up from her space in the armchair and comes to sit on the arm of the sofa. She doesnât hesitate to put her arm around my shoulders and squeeze me in for a side hug. I hadnât realized that I had started to cry and I wipe my eyes and nose with the back of my hand.Â
âIâm so sorry they said those things to youâ I whispered while silently sobbing.
âDonât worry about it, y/n, I have pretty thick skin when it comes to bullying. I've been in band for the past 3 years,â I look at her and let out a small laugh. The smile fades from her lips and a serious look takes over her face. âYou donât need to feel ashamed. Or embarrassed. Iâm honored you told me, I know how much trust that takes. Thank you.âÂ
We sit embracing for a couple of minutes and I try to defuse the tension. âYou know, I think youâre pretty hot.â She laughs, and I can feel the heat radiating off of her. Sheâs blushing.Â
âYouâre not too bad yourself, Harrington,â she gives me a small smile. âI think youâre the prettiest girl in our year.â Now it was my turn to blush. Iâm not sure if sheâs saying this out of courtesy, sympathy, or if she really means it.Â
âYou don't have to say thatâ I roll my eyes and let out an embarrassed giggle.Â
âI do.â She whispers back, the darkness multiplying the tension by 10. After a while of nervous silence, not sure what to say next, Robin asks you a question.
âI hope Iâm not out of line for saying this, and you can one hundred percent say no,â I looked at her, questioningly, âbut why donât we go out sometime? We can go to the park or we can go to the cinema. Your choice⌠if you want-if you want to.â She was visibly nervous. In the pitch black, with only the dim glow from the paused movie TV static lighting up the room, I agreed to go on a date with her (âIâd like thatâ). We both can tell the other is excited but can also tell the other is exhausted. Robin moves back over to the armchair, which was just big enough for a teenage girl to curl up in, and I curl up to my sound asleep brother. It takes a while to finally get to sleep, but I canât help my mind doing laps, thinking about my future date with Robin Buckley.Â
