[domjaehyun]

:3 I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT FR you're so very welcome hehehehe

[domjaehyun]

okay here we go, part 4….

first of all, i will never get tired of their push and pull antics. i love the burn of how jealous hyuck can be but at the same time oc makes sure she puts him in his place. he doesn’t own her but deep inside they know he does 🙂‍↕️ it’s interesting how hc “tries” to reason out that he can’t come to her or not flirt with his gf because he doesn’t realize that oc really has the upper hand here even if he’s the “determined” one.

i also agree with the other ask that there’s a pure difference between the smut scenes of jn and hc. usually when someone commits adultery, the 3rd party gets the meaningless s/x however, hc gives that much passion to her in comparison to jn who purely likes her. i guess i see it in a way they really do have a deeper connection with each other. cause im sure as hell oc enjoyed that s/x with jn but with hc, they know how well to please eo and as ive said, connection. it was burning as hell.

(i hope this makes sense lol i was having a hard time gathering my thoughts so i couldn’t formulate the right words to explain what i felt with part 4 🥲)

can i also just say… you have perfectly picked hc with the role. not that i picture him as an adulterer of course but hc’s aura screams passion. he’s serious, shameless, and playful all at once. i love how you shaped the character that you want to love but it’s against your morals 🙂‍↕️

overall, i enjoyed this part so much. you did it. AGAIN. !!!! 🥳 i may or may not enjoyed the smut too much….. IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOOD 🤤🤤

i love all your hc characters so much 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ also update i met dreamies last weekend!!!! haechan looks divine in real life 🙂‍↕️🩵

my darling i am (politely) smooching you on the cheek rn I LOVE LONG MESSAGES i only ever get proper time to dedicate to answering them on days when i’m off so im sorry for holding onto these for so long but HERE WE GO :D

yeah HAECHAN REALLY HAD SOME NERVE but also he always has nerve. dare i say almost too much nerve. that’s precisely why they’re in this predicament in the FIRST PLACE !!! i love that you see that even though he’s the persistent one, he really is following her lead she’s giving him signs she barely even knows she’s giving him and for the most part,,,,, he’s very in tune with her and how she thinks and behaves and . to be loved is to be understood :3

YAY i’m glad you saw the difference too i was struggling bc i wanted the sex w jeno to be good but for the sex with haechan to be like. better. like yes they fulfilled her physical needs but with haechan there was an emotional fulfillment as well that she didn’t get from jeno :P

(you’re making perfect sense dont you worry your cute lil head)

THANK YOUUUUUU HE IS SOOOO PASSIONATE I LOVE HIM he just says everything with his chest like i admire that i think i write him and give him some characteristics i wish i had like his level of shamelessness . his whimsy. his audacity JFGKJLSGKJL no but genuinely i wish i was as bold as i write him to be bc. those are the go getters of society they know what they want and they’ll do like whatever it takes to get it :D

THANK YOU MY LOVE :D hehehehe im glad you liked the smut :D i did too :’)

THANK YOU THANK YOU me too he’s a charming individual :D AND YOU MET MET THEM!?!?!?!?!!? OR LIKE SAW THEM IN CONCERT???? he does when i saw him at the last dream concert i started crying bc he was so beautiful :’)

[domjaehyun]

i’ve been assessing and rereading the last part again and again and i think it’s safe to assume that hyuck won’t allow a 3some to happen whether with jn or wt cuz he likes the thrill of having mc for himself and given the whole theme of the story, it’s most unlikely to happen. (why do i sound so serious 😭)

also hyuck is giving possessive vibes… he clearly wants her for himself… it’s insane (but so hot omg 😵‍💫)

i’ll be rereading it again and again 🥲

you’re so right though like . you’re right on the money !!! he didn’t even want jeno to see her cum in part 3 like ,,, his ass is NAWT sharing 😭😭 he is definitely possessive you’re right about that too

IM SORRY THIS IS LATE I LOST THE ASK BC I SAVED IT TO MY DRAFTS BY ACCIDENT FORGIVE ME :’) ALSO i love how serious you sound you’re taking my fics as seriously as i take them (well maybe not that serious…..i be going crazy ngl) :’) BUT I HOPE YOU LIKE PART FOUR WHEN IT COMES OUT i just finished adding it to the queue :D

[domjaehyun]

JEWEL 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 im crying omg the teaser dedication thank you so so much my heart is full 😭🤍 and omg 27k……. YOU ARE INSANE 😭🫡🥲 thank you jewel…. really i appreciate this…. can’t wait to read the full fic cuz i’m loving haechan’s role again damn u know how to get meeee ILY THANK U 🥹🫀!!!!!!!!

[domjaehyun]

just to keep the streak i shall share my thoughts from part 5… 😁

this smut has got to be one of the best smuts i’ve read in my whole life… it was life changing 🙂‍↕️ (i love all the smut parts though) i love how it was so good and domestic that i almost forgot about the plot lmao i’ll never get tired of saying how much i love their dynamics :”) they just match each other’s freak so much it’s insane????

the scene where yunjin caught them lawrd have mercy…. when yunjin said “jeno’s nice…. but he’s not haechan…” i felt that 😔🫳🏼 i’m a firm believer that you really can’t choose who to fall in love with :( you just feel it :(

the “double date” scene was a whole damn roller coaster ride and haechan being a menace… he’s not even trying to hide it GOSH but the whole argument scene at the haunted house :( a whole freaking speech and hyuck just hit with a “So… you have feelings for me?”

UHM?????? 😔 i would’ve melted then and there 😔😔 he’s so persistent im speechless honestly 😔😔

jeno… baby you deserve so much better 😔😔😔

ps. yes i went to their concert ! now i’m missing haechan more than ever 😔💔

i hope you’re doing well jewel 🫂❤️‍🩹 !!!!!!!!!!

:3 ILYSM BTW DID YOU KNOW THAT :D okay under the cut is my response

I’M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED THE SMUT it was very fun to write im ngl to you :3 THEY VERY MUCH MATCH EACH OTHER’S FREAK i almost put nasty by tinashe in the official playlist LMAO it’s in the unofficial one though like the one i used to write :D

YEAH YOU CAN’T CHOOSE FR i wish you could. life would be so much easier that way :(

teehee :3 that idea came to me very suddenly one day and i had to drop everything to write it 😭 I’M GLAD YOU LIKED IT he is bonkers but he’s bonkers in Love <3 he is extremely persistent i lowkey love that but ONLY if i’m already attracted to you like . otherwise Leaf Me Olone.

jeno does deserve better he’s probably the only character i truly feel bad for GSDFKJGJK SORRY JENO I’LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU IN THE FUTURE !!!!!

OHHHH I’M SO HAPPY YOU HAD FUN did you take lots of pics and stuff or are you a more “living in the moment” kinda person??

i’m doing SUPER well without getting into it too much i have made like a bunch of new friends through a new pastime of mine and it makes me super happy :D I HOPE YOU’RE WELL TOO 💖

[domjaehyun]

i couldn’t resist and i know you deserve it so i subscribed to patreon and finished tbim in one sitting at work 🙂‍↕️ (+bonus part!!! 💗)

can i just say it again but you’re really my favorite nct author here 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ the last parts were intense and i just wanna say…. DESERVE 🫳🏼 i don’t wanna spoil other people but i guess it justified the ending (although of course what they did is still wrong WRONG) but it was the best decision for all, instead of prolonging the pain and situation.

honestly, i felt bad for all of them. they all deserve so much better. the four of them deserves to love and be loved. it’s just that the circumstances were not in their favor and they were entangled with each other’s poor decisions. the most painful here would be oc and wn’s relationship though, friendship breakups are the worst cuz i hoped oc would be a girl’s girl (i know she tried but she didn’t try enough! hahaha)

it was also nice to see hc’s side in the bonus part. i know he’s the main problem here and i don’t want to justify what he did but yeah, i get where he’s coming from. it’s really hard to push yourself to love someone when you genuinely don’t feel anything about them at all even if you tried. but i guess he could’ve handled the situation better, well that’s his character though. sometimes he just doesn’t think. 😓

overall, you wrote tbim in a very beautiful way. love how you portrayed all the characters and their dilemmas in a way that got me thinking what would i do in a similar situation. we’re all humans and we make mistakes but morals should be above always. (i’m still into hyuck tho lmaooo) i’ll be adding this to my fave hc library! 🩵 thank you for writing 🙏🏼

ps. i love all your haechan fics 🫂💗 thank you for your service!!!!!! i will miss tbim ☹️ (i’ll reread again and still wait for the next parts here tho lmao) ugh i’ll miss sending my reactions here but i prolly would send more in the future 😆

EEEEEE OMG OKAY HERE I GO

firstly; THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUBBING IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME :’) ONE SITTING IS IMPRESSIVE I LOVE THAT FOR YOU OMG

omg…….pookie………. that’s so sweet thank you so much and yeah i tried to make the ending as realistic as possible while eliminating unnecessary mess yknow? TBH? I FEEL WORSE FOR JENO HE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT……. winter was lowkey inconsiderate and had a hand in haechan pulling back and MC messed around with him knowing he had a girlfriend (that was her friend no less) BUT JENO DID NOTHING WRONG JUSTICE FOR JENO!!!!!!!

I’M GLAD YOU APPRECIATED THE BONUS CONTENT OMG yeah i really wanted to clarify why he didn’t leave her from the jump bc tbh i myself did not understand this was one of those instances where i just blanked out and started typing and the answers started coming out and i was like OHHHHHHH OKAY I GET IT NOW. it rly is hard to do that i have tried and failed :/ multiple times actually :/

thank you so much omg IM SO HAPPY YOU THINK IT’S BEAUTIFUL :’) im not gonna lie to you…….im gonna keep it a buck…………….. i don’t think my morals are all that strong about some things . LIKE A LIL BIT DON’T CANCEL ME BUT I GOTTA PUT ME FIRST SOMETIMES 😭 maybe i am selfish but ykw i dont care :/ if i dont look out for me who will 🤨 anyway moving on hehe THANK YOU SO MUCH youre very welcome for writing it !!! it was my pleasure :)

[domjaehyun]

oh my god…… i just read it and wtf hyuck is so……… ??????? i literally have no words for him how tf can he say that he’s such a freak!!!!! i can’t believe it… but damn his persuasiveness is in another level….. and the amount of smut i literally read it as soon as i woke up because of the time difference and i spaced out for about 15 minutes before realizing i have to work 😔 anyway i will have to read it again cuz my mind is all over the place because of hyuck…

[domjaehyun]

the need to know (l.dh) — teaser

pairing. haechan x fem!reader teaser wc. 2.2k overall wc (so far). 27k notes. this fic is not coming up before the halloween fic, i just… got excited. hbd @hyucksaint 💖

Even with the music filling the room and the numerous bodies in between you two, Haechan’s staring is getting harder and harder to ignore. His eyes bore into you from all the way across the room where he stands talking to Jeno and Mark, and it’s so intense it’s almost palpable, prompting you to meet his gaze with a raise of your eyebrows.

He grins, flicking his eyebrows upwards, and you chuckle, turning your attention back to Renjun’s rant about his neighbor.

“...and then he had the nerve to tell me to ‘keep my music down’ as if he’s not up at the asscrack of dawn doing construction in his apartment!” 

“What a hypocrite,” you say with a grimace, and Renjun nods vigorously, relief written all over his face.

“I’m surprised you even heard any of that,” Jihyo remarks, raising an eyebrow at you as she sips at the straw sticking out of her drink.

You shoot her a puzzled look. “What do you mean?”

“Well, with all the eye-fucking you and Haechan keep doing, I figured you were a little preoccupied.” she comments, and you narrow your eyes.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” you lie, turning your nose up with a sniff.

“Oh, I think you know exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t lie to me.” she says with a playfully stern look. “Now, what’s going on with you and Haechan?”

“Yeah, what is going on with you and Haechan?” Renjun asks curiously, leaning forward in anticipation to hear you better.

“Nothing!” you say defensively, and Jihyo arches an eyebrow.

“Oh, yeah? Then why is he coming over here?” she asks with a knowing smile that only grows when you subconsciously fix your hair as, sure enough, Haechan approaches, eyes on you the whole time. “Hi, Haechan.”

“Hey,” he replies distractedly, tilting his head to the side as he regards you. “Hi,” he says to you, his lips quirking up into a smile.

“Hi,” you answer, mirroring his expression.

There’s a beat of silence before Renjun speaks. “‘Hi, Renjun. How was your day? I totally see you standing to my right, and I’m definitely not ignoring you like a piece of lint—’”

“Hi, Renjun.” Haechan says with a laugh, and Renjun glowers at him, muttering something under his breath about going where he’s appreciated before stalking off, presumably to subject another one of your friends to his tirade about his neighbor. “You having fun?” he asks you, and you nod, prompting him to smile widely and puff out his chest slightly before saying, “More now that I’m here, right?”

“Sure, Haechan,” you reply with a small laugh, and Jihyo just raises her brows at both of you.

“I’m gonna go find Jiwoo,” she says, shooting you in particular a secretive smile before disappearing into the crowd of people.

Haechan immediately steps into the space she occupied, now much closer to you, and his smile widens even more before he speaks, murmuring, “I like your top. You look so good tonight, but I’m sure you knew that.”

“I did,” you confirm, and he snorts. “But thank you. You look good, too.”

“Oh, yeah? We’re kind of matching.” he points out, gesturing to your black lace up top and his dark gray Nirvana t-shirt. 

“Are we? That’s gray.” you reply with a growing smile.

“Dark gray and black are practically the same color.”

“But are they actually the same color? No.” 

“Why are you being difficult?” he says with narrowed eyes, and you shrug.

“It’s my specialty.” you answer with a beguiling smile, and he rolls his eyes, an amused smile tugging at the corners of his lips even as he feigns exasperation.

“Anyway,” he stresses the word, shifting the conversation. “Do you wanna get some fresh air with me?”

“Mm, not really; it’s kinda cold outside.” you say with a small pout.

“You can wear my jacket,” he offers, and you pause, thinking about it.

“Maybe later. For now, do you wanna come with me to the kitchen? I want a snack.” you ask, and he smiles at the invitation before nodding.

“Lead the way, baby.” he coos, and you roll your eyes with a smile as you do just that, reaching back to link pinkies with him.

“So we don’t get separated,” you explain.

He beams. “Good idea.” 

You two make your way through the throng of bodies and into the kitchen, where you promptly start raiding the cabinets.

“I love Jeno and Jaemin to death, but their snack selection is shit.” you huff in disappointment, turning back to Haechan to see that he’s propped himself up against the kitchen counter, watching you with amusement and intrigue.

“Jeno went on a snack purge the other day,” he reminds you. “Said something about overly processed foods and saturated fats.”

“Well, sorry if I like my foods overly processed and my fats saturated.” you gripe, and Haechan laughs, pushing off the counter to walk over to you. 

“I think they have fruit in the fridge,” he says, leaning into your space to open the refrigerator door. He pauses before he pulls back, eyes trained on your lips and his own lips part in a soft sigh, tongue poking out to wet them. 

“The snacks?” you remind him with a growing smile, unable to resist glancing at his very tempting mouth.

“I’m looking at one,” he breathes, and you burst out laughing, pushing him back gently.

“That was very cheesy.” you giggle, and he shrugs shamelessly.

“It made you laugh, so I consider it a win.” he says with a soft, fond smile. 

Your cheeks flare with warmth, not used to the gentleness and sincerity in his eyes, and divert your attention to the now open fridge, picking out a container of grapes that you hope are washed as you pop one into your mouth and chew. The burst of sweetness is very welcome on your tongue, and you lean back onto the fridge, closing your eyes in bliss.

“Better?” he chuckles, and you nod.

“Want one?” you say, offering him a grape, and he nods, leaning in to eat it from your fingers. Before he pulls back, he looks at you with heavy-lidded eyes, his sultry gaze too much for you at the moment and making you return your attention to the container of grapes with an urgency that doesn’t go unnoticed by Haechan. 

“Cute.” he murmurs softly, and you huff, trying (and failing) to hide your budding smile at the compliment.

“I’m gonna go to the bathroom.” you say, carefully extracting yourself from the small space he’s got you cornered in. 

His eyes twinkle with amusement as he raises his eyebrows suggestively. “Was that an invitation?”

“It most certainly was not.”

“Aw, man. Next time?” he asks hopefully, and you snort.

“Don’t count on it.”

You do your best to hold your breath as you make your way through the hallway, stopping by the window for a moment before sticking your head out and breathing in the fresh air gratefully. After a moment of relief, you decide to open the window wider, climbing out and sitting on the windowsill, feet carefully resting on the fire escape attached to the side of the building.

It’s quieter over here, you note, pleased with your newfound situation as you scroll through your phone. Sure enough, when you open Instagram and tap on Jeno’s story, you see two boomerangs; one of him and his friends sitting in a circle around his bong, and one of him blowing smoke out of his mouth.

You tap the heart for both posts before footsteps pull your attention away from your phone, making you turn your head to see the newcomer. 

Haechan stops about a foot away from the window, leaning against the wall. “I thought I’d find you out here. Thought you said it was too cold?”

“It is, actually, but this air doesn’t reek of weed.” you explain, and he nods in understanding.

“Mind if I join you?”

You wordlessly scoot over to make room for him, and he smiles, climbing out and sitting beside you. The side of your leg presses against his as he makes himself comfortable, but you don’t really want to move it. 

So you don’t, and you just silently appreciate the warmth radiating from his body as he shrugs off his jacket and drapes it over your shoulders. 

“Thank you,” you say sincerely, and he smiles at you, nodding.

“The city looks so pretty like this,” Haechan sighs, and you direct your gaze straight ahead of you, taking in all of the city lights in the nearby buildings and the bridges in the distance. “It’s almost as pretty as you,” he says, nudging you with a cheeky grin, and you exhale through your nose in amusement.

“It is pretty,” you agree. “Someone’s feeling flirtatious, I see.”

“Can you blame me? You show up tonight looking as good as you do and expect me not to want to be all over you?” he snorts, and you raise your eyebrows, slightly surprised by how forward he’s being.

“‘All over me?’” you repeat, and he nods, looking you directly in the eyes. “Like… all over me?”

“You interpret it however you want to, baby.”

“You’re gonna have to stop calling me ‘baby,’ by the way; it’s starting to confuse me.” you tell him, and he raises an eyebrow.

“How so?”

“I think I kinda like it,” you confess, and his gaze drops to your lips instantly, his tongue peeking out to wet his lips. 

“Oh, really?” he murmurs suggestively, running one finger around one of the rips on the thigh of your jeans, and he chuckles softly as you shiver slightly, goosebumps raising on your arms. “Cold?”

“Something like that.” you reply evasively, and he snorts, his smile widening.

“Back to what you were saying… about liking when I call you ‘baby,’” he quickly returns to the previous topic, and you roll your eyes slightly in amusement. “What’s so wrong with that?”

“Friends don’t typically call each other ‘baby.’” you point out, and he shrugs.

“Maybe we can be special friends.”

“Oh, yeah? Special how?”

“Maybe we call each other cute names… touch a little bit… kiss a little bit…” he trails off, and you look over to see that he’s watching your lips again, a small grin on his lips.

“Mm, that could get messy though.” you murmur, and he gazes at you, longing openly written all over his handsome features.

“Life is messy.” he points out.

“This doesn't have to be.” you reply, gesturing between the two of you. Haechan links his fingers with yours and sets your linked hands on top of your touching thighs, rubbing his thumb over the back of your hand. “That feels nice,” you sigh, leaning against him slightly.

“I bet I could make you feel even nicer.” he muses suggestively, and you snicker.

“Won’t lie and say I’m not a little curious.” you admit, and he sucks in a sharp breath of surprise.

“Don’t tempt me,” he murmurs. “I don’t particularly feel like holding back right now.”

“Oh, is that what you usually do?” you reply, speaking as soft and low as he just did.

He nods. “You always tempt me, actually—I’m just not feeling like beating around the bush right now.”

You raise your eyebrows in surprise and—you won’t lie—intrigue. “And what’s making you feel like that right now?”

“A number of things,” he replies. “How unbelievably good you look tonight, the way I can see the goosebumps on your skin when I touch you, and,” his voice gets even softer but carries an urgency you don’t believe you’ve heard from him before, “the way you’re looking at me.”

“And how am I looking at you?” you question, tilting your head to the side curiously.

“The same way I’m always looking at you.” he answers, and you don’t need him to elaborate.

“So if that’s all true,” you muse, regarding him carefully, “then why aren’t you doing anything about it?”

“I like what we have,” he says in reply, and you smile. “Wouldn’t want to ruin it.”

“And what if I said I kind of want you to ruin it?” Your words are quieter than ever, tentative even, but by the way the fire in Haechan’s eyes intensifies, you know he heard you all the same.

“What did I just say about tempting me?”

“It wasn’t a temptation,” you say carefully. “It was an invitation.”

He sucks in a sharp breath. “You know, I’ve never been one to ignore my urges before,” he admits. “If I want something, I get it.”

“Oh, yeah?” You can’t even try to hide the arousal building in you as you watch his lips with uninhibited longing.

“Yeah.” His gaze matches yours, unbridled desire swimming in his eyes as he slowly leans in, and you find yourself mirroring him, the two of you moving painfully slowly as you get closer and closer.

“And what is it that you want right now?” you ask, voice barely above a whisper.

“I bet you can guess.”
