#i got to wear whatever i wanted bc they gave everyone a membership

[agentsofoakenshiield]

I’d like to propose a fourth character, and possibly fifth!

4. The con artist/forger they get to do it; they probably find them through 5. #3’s super shady roommate that #3 found through Parisian Craigslist or something because hello, art degrees are expensive as fuck and their parents sure as hell aren’t helping pay for anything that isn’t a STEM or law degree, and none of y’all (aka: the museum, but I suppose it also applies to the others) are helping pay either, and capitalism fucking sucks so I don’t want to hear about my super-shady roommate! (meanwhile: #2 just wanted to ask if they also have a weed hookup bc their usual one is quarantining in the middle of nowhere at their grandparents’ place)

but anyways! #4! they’re all (including #3, who hasn’t met them before) expecting someone… idk, super criminal-like? psh, they’ve seen crime shows. instead they get a zoom meeting with a twenty-something wearing the nicest suit they’ve seen since whatever holiday fundraising gala I’m sure the museum had in December 2019.

later, they meet in person with #4 now resembling a little art gremlin because you hardly gave me much time to recreate one of the most famous paintings in the world, so no I haven’t slept more than 2 hours a night since you hired me and also remember I’m basically doing this for free + the cost of materials so you’re fcking welcome. I better get a free museum membership for this when everything reopens.

(Anyways, #3 reveals their painting, they all stare at it for a moment, and then #1 insists on checking on the real one to make sure they didn’t just steal it or something.) (It’s a really fcking good copy.)

[coda:

#2: listen… I know this may not be your area of expertise but I don’t really know any criminals

#4: alleged criminals

#2: right, of course. alleged criminals. anyways do you know any dealers my usual one just keeps sending me updates on their sourdough starter everytime I ask if they know anyone still in town

#4: oh, yeah, I know a guy. *snorts* fuckin sourdough… if I had a functioning oven I’d probably be all over that shit but instead we shut down before I could get it repaired, and I’ve been bored out of my mind ever since. that’s literally the only reason I did this for free. I mean it was fun. and a good cause. like fuck miles bron and all that. but mostly cause I got tired of seeing everyone’s baking shit on Instagram.

(the guy in question is #5, btw. the bubble stays contained, narrative full circle, chekhov’s shady roommate, etc etc etc)

the end.]

Re: whether or not Miles actually has the real Mona Lisa: while it being the real thing does provide greater commentary I propose to you that the painting being fake unlocks the potential for a short film about the horrified and pissed off Louvre employees who can’t believe they’ve been asked to turn over The Mona Lisa to this guy scrambling to put together a fake and hide the real one. In terms of the commentary, you can even have your cake and eat it too, if the French government agrees to loan it out bc billionaire corruption and so it’s the average museum employees lying through their teeth to the government and risking felony offenses to protect the art.

My proposed cast of characters:

1. The elderly curator who’s forgotten more about da Vinci and renaissance art than most people learn in a lifetime, was mentored by a dude who smuggled art out of France to hide it from the Nazis and the second he sees the request from miles is like “M. Laurent did not get shot in the leg by a Nazi shithead for me to simply hand over Joconde to this idiot, he would crawl out of his grave and murder me himself and he would be right to do so”

2. The art conservation and repair expert who has worked on the Mona Lisa personally for the past decade, knows her better than just about anyone else in the world, one of probably like three people alive who’s allowed to actually touch her, comes across as high strung and business like but has the deepest and most genuine love for the art pieces and is fiercely dedicated above all else to the idea that art belongs to EVERYBODY, that her job is not the preservation of art for art’s sake but the preservation of art for future generations to see and fall in love with just like she did

3. The 18-year-old who was supposed to be here on an internship except The Covids Happened and now they’re in a bizarre employment limbo where they are sort of still interning but the actual job is not at all what it was supposed to be. Enthusiastically anarchic and socialist and almost concerningly Down For Crime

Together they have to team up for a mini heist-like adventure to convince Miles Bron and the French government that they are handing over the real Mona Lisa while engaging in shenanigans to keep the real thing safe and hidden

[universallyfatal]

Rest in fucking pieces

I really enjoyed this game as a kid though…

I loved the secret missions and how you’d have to be really clever to figure it out. 

I loved Rockhopper and the shit he’d bring us on his journeys, along with the hollow excitement of meeting something that’s probably either a bot or a 35 year old moderator… Idgaf I liked to pretend that I was his daughter.

I loved the lore of the island, such as ninjas, golden and rainbow puffles, and tipping the iceburg (which ALL became true by the way…that was really cool of them to do).

I loved the shallow pursuit of being “rare” and meeting a Beta.

BY THE WAY AUNT ARCTIC IS THE HEAD OF THE EPF! Just in case it wasn’t obvious

My penguin was apparently almost 10 years old before they decided to murder me

Also I was really tempted to say fuck but I wanted to keep the goal 10 year old me set, which was to not ever get banned. I set the bar high.

I recently found that I wrote a Club Penguin fanfic 10 years ago about puffles….

[jiminrings]

hi!! can i request a drabble of new personaltrainer!jungkook training a pretty awkward (and kinda chubby/thicc..?) y/n and its super fluffy and aaaa,, i love your writing aaaa 🥺

cloud nine

pairing: jungkook x y/n

wordcount: 3k

glimpse: y/n finally gives into jimin the gymbro’s thoughtful push, and jungkook is sO close to barking back to his chihuahua the moment he gets home :D // gif isn’t mine but look at it it’s so cRISPY!!!

notes: thank you sO much babie!! here you go :D

okay that’s iT!!

you totally need something new in your life

you need a change of pace or whatever that’s called

all the days you’ve been having are all blurring into the same one and it just makes you feel so stagnant

the only difference you could point out are the sleep shirts you wear and that’s ONLY if you don’t try to repeat wearing them

you now have a list of people you’re in awe of

people who genuinely and unironically consider friends the tv show as a cinematic masterpiece because nOAH FENCE how do they manage to get entertained by laugh tracks and the same skit over and over again

ok maybe your slander towards it increased because hoseok (the guy you have a sorta crush on) likes it and he leaves you on read and sometimes doesn’t even open your message and thEN you’d see his instagram stories and they’re all just???? friends???? what was the reason

and second, jimin!

jimin’s your best friend and that just makes you awed even more because you don’t even know how the two of you got close

jk it was when your friends forced you to come with them at this inflatable water park and you were sCARED and so he held your lifevest and was like

“hEY do you wanna take this in the same pace that i’m doing it?? tbh i just wanna get back to my mimosas but my friends paid too expensively for this”

<3 he has been the guardian of your heart since <3

jimin’s just so well-paced and organized and knows how to have his fun that his daily life doesn’t seem like a mindless routine

you are actively YEARNING for that kind of lifestyle

and right now it just seems like the stars are aligning for you and are practically made for your existence alone!!

jimin’s a gymbro

he is the living breathing talking definition of gymbro and gymrat and gymgod or whatever it is

.....

.......

.... gymin if u will ....

okAy then

but he wasn’t the aggressive type of gymbro, not at all!

he’s a total natural!!

like he’s ripped but not excessively and exaggeratedly ripped

he doesn’t flex but the muscle definition and the physique are just wHew exquisite!!

he doesn’t talk in protein powder lingo but you aren’t surprised to see a giant jug of it inside his cupboard!!! after all he’s proud to say that it’s practically all-skill!!!

and to top it off.,.,

:D

okay so jimin takes off his shirt right

the two of you are neighbors and you often come into each other’s places and it feels like home too

and you aren’t complaining!! you know that he runs a little hot that normal and you wouldn’t want him overheating

but he has this large tattoo on his rib that reads nevermind and it’s so cOOL and it just makes the gears in your head go creak creak because aha your best friend is the blueprint huh

you’re not surprised!! you really aren’t!!

after all, why would you be surprised out of all the things above when you already know that he owns a goddamn GYM??

the only regret that you have is not meeting him sooner :((

yeah sure pjm athletics does have a nice ring to it bUT WHAT ABOUT PARK’S GYMIN

you’ve always been.,., a lil curious ok

i mean your goddamn friend is the ownEr of a really well-known and well-praised gym!! how could you not??

you don’t wanna mooch off from him though no matter how much he offers you free classes and stuff

he always brings you home extra merch and energy drinks that you’re sure you can now have a tap for gatorade

he’s not dENSE!! he sees how you look at him whenever he does push-ups on your floor or when he does planks like no big deal

there’s this thought at the back of your head that y’know..,., what if THIS was the thing that’s gonna be your change of pace

lmao you’re looking for hardship basically

jimin’s finally had it when you sigh for the eleventh time while he’s doing pull-ups

you want to spend your own money and he knows you won’t accept any of his offers!!

that’s it he needs to be smart about this!!!

“woah jimin holy sHIT you’re having a 50% off your membership??? and it comes with a trainer too??? are you serious right now???”

:)))

he can now sleep in peace knowing his editing job for this flyer has paid off and he’s passed the “y/n’s not believing me” stage :))

if it wasn’t established enough there really isn’t a sale lol

here you are then,.,.

wearing workout leggings that jimin deemed to be reAlly great and it made quite a hefty dent in your wallet but you trust his judgement so ok

you’re not in the mood to wear anything besides jimin’s black dri-fit shirt because you really don’t wanna attract attention as the newbie

this is good!! you now have a gym membership AND a personal trainer!!

you dON’T exactly need them but you feel you just do y’know!! there’s no harm in trying :D

you didn’t want jimin to be your personal trainer and he basically sULKED for a whole week

it’s not a him problem!! it’s a you problem!!!

you know that it’s a given that the trainers shOuld be excellently to a degree to actually train someone else

but it’s now dawning in you that HE’S the owner and he’s so intimidatingly good!!! you would look like a raw egg that’s just dumped haphazardly into a pot and he’s the perfectly-boiled egg :((

oh my god

jungkook feels like he’s gonna throw up with how nervous he is

it’s his first day as a personal trainer!! :D

he’s half-excited and half-terrified because holy shit fIRST of all this gym was hard to apply to in the first place

everyone’s flocking it because:

a) it’s really great

b) even greater benefits for the employees

c) the pay is hUGE

d) the equipment?? the morals?? the testimonials?? the owner?? the whole thing??? FANTASTIC

and second omg jungkook won’t admit it to anyone but uHm he’s kinda scared ok

he’s not the type of person that’s comfortable with ordering people around??? even if that’s technically his job???

like what if his first-ever client is a guy like jason momoa and that guy’s a fucking UNIT for sure

imagine hIM telling jASON MOMOA to give him three sets x twenty reps of push-ups

g-gulp

“or i can do it for you, i-if you want?”

he’s bouncing nervously on the balls of his feet and swinging his arms around forward and backward to make them clap quietly

“there, you’re all set!! i already filled up all the forms for you the moment i gave you the flyer!!”

“but-“

“your trainer’s... not me. but he’s uh, what’s his name again, jungkook!! what does he look like again — oh right!! i remember!!”

“jimin-“

“he should be the guy with the big doe eyes!! has a lot of dangly earrings!! if he’s not wearing a sweater then he should be the one who has some tattoos!!”

“no jimin-“

“off you go!! i’ll be bouncing around but i’ll keep an eye on you, don’t worry!! okay now go and i’ll let you have a sip of my gatorade even if we have the same drink :D”

.....

whew

there goes nothing then

you’re about to keep your duffel bag close as a reason to stall to getting to the locker room but jimin’s already one step ahead and snatched it from you

you didn’t even get your towel :((

it had a little blue cloud embroidered at the middle of it and it’s your Emotional Support Towel by default

you’re kinda nervous since there’s some pairs of eyes on you because after all they just saw you have the most carefree conversation with the owner they’re a lil scared to talk to

you’re wringing your hands together as you try to spot this jungkook with jimin’s descriptions and-

oh

oH

O H

jungkook looks so ????

wow?????

he’s gorgeous like that is nOt up for debate

he looks so fresh?? effortless?? handsome???

jungkook looks like he smells like baby powder and freshly-washed sheets

the baby powder that you’re tempted to snORt because it smells so good which was the one you’d put on your chest bc boob sweat and to prevent ur thighs chafing

he had to do a double-take on you because the first time he glanced at this walking person he immediately shut down

like when something looks sO pretty that you have to look away for a second because you literally can’t take it

oR like when you have this favorite scene of a movie and you have to physically pause it before rewinding and doing that for another six times

“are you perhaps jungkook?? because i’m not surE and-...”

“jungkook i am. i-i aM jeon jungkook!! yes, right, jungkook!!!!!”

holy fuck he’s stopped working

your mouth’s a little parted because you didn’t expect him to go on that lil spiel cLEARLY but omg he’s adorable!!!

if he could punch himself he really would

it’s taking him a second to regroup but you take the initiative to introduce yourself :D

“i’m y/n! you’re my trainer from what they told me :))”

you’re a lil more awkward when it comes to social interactions like these but it looks like you’re acing it when put in front of jungkook

the both of you shake hands and then immediately put it behind your back because wow u just shook the pretty boy’s hand AND it’s not even 8 in the morning yet!!

you haven’t even started the workout portion yet but ur already on fire

( jimin’s looking at the security footage and even HE’S blushing from the secondhand embarrassment jungkook’s brough oh my god )

(( jimin suddenly wishes he could unlearn reading people’s lips ))

“so, what brought you here?”

it’s jungkook who asks but he alsO wants to answer himself to say it’s fate aha :D

he’s getting you to stretches and he’s doing them with you!!

“to be honest?? well there was like a fIFTY percent discount but you already know all of that”

wait

what now

“a sale? what-...”

there’s an abrupt noise that goes through the whole gym and it makes the both of you flinch and you even yelP

if you see jimin lifting a 100lbs barbell only to throw it down and cut off jungkook from speaking THEN MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

“you okay?”

jungkook asks you quietly and taps your shoulder and you’re about to faint right then and there of how you met like then minutes ago and he’s cONCERNED

the focus on today was flexibility plus easing you into working out!!!

stretches are the next best thing to working out and it’s a win-win combo bc you’re flexible aND you’re basically exerting effort = kind of a workout apparently

the bit of reaching your toes then doing a downward dog and the upward-facing dog right after to hear that satisfying grunt of your joints is a LITTLE awkward because jungkook’s looking at you

jungkook wants to look away but in the same time he can’t will himself to

one because he’s a young wide-eyed attracted man and twO he’s the trainer omg he needs to look at you!!!

“o-okay! just a set of jack jum — jUMPING JACKS!!! jumping jacks and we could start :)))”

no one told you.,.,.

no one told you where you should look when you’re doing jumping jacks

you can’t look downwards because that’ll throw you off and you can’t look up either because why?? what??? WHO are you seeking up there????

looking straight ahead is kinda awkward

the safe answer was everywhere at once according to you

you sneak a look at jungkook and you almost choke in your own spit with how handsome he still looks

you’re not gonna cope up with that fact probably ever

jungkook’s feeling a lil sweaty now because uHm he shouldn’t really be doing this with you technically

it’s usually a trainer doing it with you for like the first five reps and then letting you do it alone for the rest

but nO he’s doing this with you he doesn’t mind :D

he could feel a bead of sweat by his sideburns and he’s screaming internally to gO the fuck back where it came from

he wants to tear off his hoodie but he doesn’t know if he should since he doesn’t have a shirt underneath!!!

being shirtless to the gym isn’t new but you’re with him and nOW he feels nervous

honestly jungkook would rather overheat than to make you feel uncomfortable

news flash: you want to curl up into a ball and cry about thinking how you’d be sore the next day

you r about to give out and tear up a little bit because fuck this is nOT an introductory workout

you also don’t want to look like a wimp in front of jungkook because that is not a good look for your pride and you’d feel embarrassed for eternity

just two more to go!!

honestly fUCK fire hydrants!!! 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕦𝕔𝕜 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦?? 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕦𝕔𝕜 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦?? 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕚𝕊?? 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕓𝕖???? 𝕚 𝕕𝕠𝕟’𝕥 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕪𝕠 𝕒𝕊𝕊!!!

you raise your head because you’re getting dizzy looking down

jungkook’s looking at you and he sees you looking at him and it dOESN’T help the way you look right now

with you sweaty and grumbling under your breath and ur baby hair all over the place and ur eyes unfocused and fix at the same time a-and ur lips parted and-

JESUS LINE UP AT THE DMV RIGHT NOW TAKE THE WHEEL

jungkook’s so nervous and flustered that his limp actually trembles with how hot his cheeks are and he’s rambling out of nowhere

“fire hydrants amirite??? most certainly inspired by dogs and stuff because cooky, my chihuahua, does exactly that when he pees and-...”

THERE’S THAT LOUD BARBELL CLANGING AGAIN

oh my god he should not have said that

jungkook’s beyond mortified wHY DID HE SAY THAT

you look speechless and you aRE

you’re just nodding at him with a tight-lipped smile and if he knows better that’s because you’re so spent and a little light-headed and less off from his nervous rambling

planks,,, just planks,,, the final bit of it all

you don’t wanna get dizzy at the last stretch so you’re trying your best to not pay attention to the blood rushing to ur head

jungkook’s so distracted with his thoughts that he wordlessly adjusts you

lifts up your core while adjusting your feet closer before pressing his hand to your back and-

aHA FUCK

you now feel like you can run a marathon right after that

jungkook now feels like he can compete in a twenty-hour triathlon

he’s praising you to no end that you did sOOOO good!!! you really did!!!!

meanwhile your face is hot not only from that but also because you’ve endured hardship that felt like hours <3

you’re breathlessly laughing because wHEW you really did do that and wow you’re proud of yourself!!!! it’s not even 10 in the morning!!!

there’s a towel that’s gently patting your face section by section

:)

“you uhm, you didn’t have a towel with you so-“

jungkook pats at your neck to your nape and that’s when it hits that o-OH right i’ll leave you to that

you take the towel with a grin you’re fighting so hard and that’s when you realize that it’s not just a random gym one

but rather it was jungkook’s himself because it’s the same clean one he had in his hands awhile ago!!

you can smell him on it and you make sure to pat your face extra dry because you wouldn’t want to get your face sweaty now would you :D his perfume’s just a bonus, right :D

shouldn’t trainers be the cold and straight to the point ones and immediately leave right after you’re all done????

..... inch resting

“oh my gOD — mr. jimin sir-nim min jimin-nIM!!”

jungkook has the fright of his life when his boss appears from nowhere by his side

jimin laughs at how frazzled this guy is lmao but anyways he came here for you (as if he hasn’t been supervising from afar the whole time)

“want me to give you a ride home or?”

kook’s a little lost and he might just cry as he starts to think that oh wait a second are you guys-

“he’s my best friend.”

you whisper under your breath towards him and he unknowingly sighs in relief

“well did you get here using your jeep or your vespa???”

jimin has this jeep he passionately calls chimmy the jeep and he has a knack for naming things with a ring on it ok

and the other was a cream-colored vespa he bought like six months ago

he learned how to ride the bike a year ago and he was immediately let’s get this to the next level idc i’m getting a vESPA!!!

you have an iRRATIONAL fear of vespas

you’re okay with big bikes and regular motorcycles!!! in fact you find them less threatening than jimin’s motorcycle

the little wheels scare you and it’s just so??? it looks so bite-sized wHY does it look like that???? it looks like you could breathe an extra breath to your right and the vespa would steer to the right

ugh you hate his motorcycle sO bad

“well don’t you hAte public transport when you’re tired and all that???”

yikes you did

it’s true!! you’d call him to pick you up because the bus ride hits harder when you’ve had a long day and u feel every bump in the road possible

“i have a big bike!”

jungkook chimes in and he even raises his hand and that’s when he shuts up when he realizes his mistake

“no one asked mhmm i’m sorry jimin-nim sir hYung-nim”

your eyes widen as it sinks in you that oh my god he mIGHT be as into you as you are with him and that’s so ???? that’s such a heartwarming concept you can’t believe

jungkook has the same big brain moment and he takes your widened eyes as a signal to keep talking

“i have TWO helmets! but uhm one of them is for kooky and he’s a chihuahua, wait i already said that, so that means it’s just a tINY helmet i ordered from amazon but it’s okAy i can wear it!!! b-but i’m not forcing you or anything that i should take you home o-or no offense to mr. jimin-nim sir i am NOT underestimating you or-“

surprisingly, jimin doesn’t hate the idea of you and jungkook

ah he should probably adopt a dog and name them jupiter or sth,,, you and koo look like you’re gonna end up anyways

“okay. just bring her home in one piece.”

he’s oddly calm and that also makes YOU confused

jungkook isn’t confused however because the moment you turn, jimin mouths to him in korean and the rough translation was hurt her and i’ll kill you :D

you nodded your head and that meant he’s iNDEED taking you bome

he starts throwing things in his duffel bag (and he should still be in the gym but jimin jus gave him a free pass) and he’s wordlessly carrying yours too!!

he could feel your fist holding the back of his hoodie and jungkook just feels at peace :’’’)

wearing a ridiculous miniature helmet for dogs on top of his head that won’t do shit is tOTALLY worth it

[jejublr]

Flower boy!Jeonghan

A/N: It’s been 84 years.... This is for the anon who requested Flower Boy!Jeonghan. I hope you’re still alive..somewhere. I’M SO SORRY BUT PLEASE ENJOY! Thank you for requesting!!! <3

So there’s a new café that just opened called Pledis café

This cafe was unlike any other café; it’s a flower boy cafe

People were pretty sceptical when the café came out with the concept, but Pledis proved them wrong because now, the place was almost always packed on Friday nights and/or the weekends

People thought it was going to be weird at first?

But they later found it’s just good fun! And a good eye wash

The café was really creative actually!!

The boys acted like butlers in a way

SUPER HOT CUTE BUTLERS

Super polite, gentlemanly and curtious, who wouldn’t want to go back for more, amirite?

Capitalism at its finest

The people frequenting the flower boy café would typically be teenage schoolgirls

Other times it was awkward (and jealous) boyfriends who got dragged to the cafe for the sake of their curious girlfriends lol

At first, Jeonghan never really had any intention to work in a café, let alone a flower boy café

But his friend Seungcheol became one and the pay didn't seem so bad so he applied

And a few weeks into the job, he’s sold

To him, it doesn’t even feel like working?

Because being beautiful is his forté lmaoo

People who visited the café was pretty amazed by the visuals the boys serve but Jeonghan? Snatched.

But people aren't sure if he does anything other than leaning on the booth and sending flirty looks at girls?

Or was it sleepy looks? lmao nobody knows

Like, yea we get it, ur pretty, Jeonghan but table fifteen needs you now, shoo

He's a really great host, though

Like, in the café, it’s normal to have some of the boys linger at tables to talk to the customers

They’d explain the menu and they’ll entertain you for a bit as you wait for your order to come out

It’s just like one of those Japanese maid cafés, only the waitresses are guys

By all means, Jeonghan seemed to attract a lot of people and he ended up getting flirted to a lot

Jeonghan wasn’t usually the type to flirt back 

unlike some people *cough*Choi Seungcheol and Wen Junhui and Xu Minghao*cough* 

seriously though, Minghao’s been wildin’ these days

But it’s his job so

But he really does love his job and entertaining people

Which brings us to this point

You've heard of the hype of Pledis café

And while you enjoy checking out hip cafés around the city, you never had the initiative to check the cafe

You just don’t get the hype, okay?

Bc you find it so weird??? Like, a flower boy café?? Who came up with the idea???? Isn't this considered human exploitation???

So you definitely weren't very thrilled when your friends proposed to the idea of giving it a visit after school/work that day

Some friends you have bc they practically dragged you to the café despite your protest

'Just once,’ they say.

'It'll be fun,’ they say.

While your other friends are squealing over how cute the decor and boys are (especially the boys) and having the time of their lives, you looked like you’re ready to bust outta there

Because the amount of admittedly cute boys here is amazing

There's literally so many of them here

Tbh you felt a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of attractive boys you see bustling around the café, serving cakes and entertaining customers

You've never seen so many cute guys concentrated in one place before lol

How did they find them? Cute guys are like rare Pokémons nowadays

But you had to admit it was a nice change of scenery (    ͡ °   ͜ ʖ    ͡ ° )

Especially that one guy you saw on your way in

And you almost got knocked off your socks because wOW IS THAT AN ANGEL?

No, but seriously, though, he’s wearing an halo headband

But you couldn't help but feel your cheeks heating up when he flashed a smile at you

You thought ‘Wow okay this isn't so bad, maybe I can get used to this.’

But then you saw a couple of girls came up to him to get pictures with him and he was all flirty so you're like, lol nevermind

That man is a playaaa~

I mean, you understand that it’s his job but still, you’re not a big fan of flirts

Your friends waved to indicate they’re ready to order and it just so happens that your server is the angel you just thought about

“Hello, welcome to Seventeen Café~ I’m Jeonghan and I will be your server for today.”

And all your friends took turn ordering till you’re the only one left

"And what can I get for the lovely lady?" he asked as he sent a wink at you

Tbh you don't know whether to stay silent or to throw the glass of water at him

The latter seemed more appealing at the moment

You rolled your eyes and ended up ordering whatever your favorite drink was and the waiter scurried away, but not without flashing you with another God-send smile eyyy

The moment he was out of earshot, your friends went cRAZY

“Y/N, what the f*** you know him?”

“Did you see how he looked at you?! He was totally flirting on you!!!”

Hahaha yeah and if he does it one more time you’ll be sure to let him know you’re not interested

And you and your friends actually had a great time chatting at least when they’re not too distracted by the boys

But you didn’t miss the glances Jeonghan stole at you

Like, he usually loves teasing and joking around with his client but there’s just something about you that made him want to provoke you even more

Wow, what angel were we talking about, again?

Maybe it’s the way you roll your eyes indignantly or your blatant dislike towards the café

Also maybe because you’re kinda cute

Really cute

And it’s only natural that Jeonghan wants to get a reaction out of you

So then he brought out a cupcake and set it on your table and everyone’s like ‘We didn’t order this???’

And Jeonghan’s like

“Don’t worry, it’s on the house. For the pretty lady.”

AND THEN HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO WINK AT YOU FOR THE SECOND TIME THAT DAY BEFORE HE WHISKED OFF TO ANOTHER TABLE FFF

First of all: how dare he?

Second of all: how dare he?

So while your friends are looking at the cupcake as if it was an engagement ring and as if Jeonghan just confessed his love to you, you were silent bc you don’t know what to do tbh?

Because a handsome man just tried to pick you up??

What a flirt.

You still ate the cafe, though

After all, a cupcake is a cupcake

There was a part when some of the boys had to do aegyo and oh my god

There was this other guy named Woozy? Woozi?? and you thought he was adorable

But Jeonghan was on a whole other level

He kept running his hand through his luscious locks, bitting his lips and pouting oh my god

Uhm, you kinda wanna slap him? But also it’s kinda cute? But you’re never going to admit that ofc

And you thought you’ve never been happier when your friends decided to call it a day and asked for the bill bc you don’t think you would survive anymore second breathing in aegyo and finger hearts

But Jeonghan’s kinda bummed???

Bc you’re actually really fun to tease

So he made Wonwoo the cashier give you guys free membership cars bc he wants you to come back lol

“Why should I do that?”

“I’LL BUY YOU ALL THE BURGER YOU WANT, WON.”

“Ok, deal.”

Capitalists, I tell you

It was unfortunate for you bc your friends are now completely in love with the café and they vowed to visit it every other week

And they made you come with them every single time bc now they got the member card, too lmao

You’re not really complaining bc the food there was amazing, the ambiance (despite being a little crowded), was great and everything good except for...

“Hello, my name is Jeonghan and I’ll be your server today.”

him.

You see, he wouldn’t leave you be from day one, and you know it amused him to see you cringe at the constant aegyo and cheesy lines thrown around

And another fact that made you angrier is the fact that Jeonghan looks so! darn! attractive! and so! smooth! doing it all uGH

You keep getting heart palpitations whenever he smiled 

And you don’t even have insurance for God’s sake

Honestly, it’s enough cardio to last you a lifetime

But you didn’t know what happened behind the scenes bc back in the kitchen, Jeonghan would always smile to himself and sometime giggle occasionally?

Chan got scared once when they were on a shift together and Jeonghan started giggling to himself

Chan thought he got possessed and it scared the s*** outta the kid

And it was always entertaining to watch you bicker back and forth as your friends sip on their drinks

“Don’t you have anywhere else to go to?”

“Well, you see, I work here.”

The little s***

At least it’s a show for other customers to watch when you guys start bickering like old married couples

They started to ship you guys, too

Bc Jeonghan seemed to be more open and relaxed around you?

As if the flirting is genuine it is

And you may act like it’s annoying but deep inside, you kinda enjoy the attention he’s giving you?

BUT HE’S STILL ANNOYING

But also cute

The playfulness started to shift to something different one day

It was a particularly relaxed day, not many people were in the café

So you were sitting alone in the café, sipping on your drink and waiting for your friends when you suddenly got a text message from one of your friends

["Y/N I'm so sorry! I don't think we can make it to the café today! Something really important came up!!"]

And you let out a long sigh because 'Now what do I do,,,'

Jeonghan at the counter noticed your crestfallen face and decided to swoop in like Prince Charming

"wELL, hELLo."

Oh no

"Ugh what do you want >:("

'I want to take you out' he wanted to say but he saw the cup hot tea in front of you and he didn't wanna risk it lmao

In case you decide to fling it at him

“You look sad. Is everything okay?” he asked

And honestly, the stress from work/school has been piling up and you had the strongest urge to just spill everything to Jeonghan bc he seemed genuinely concerned

But you held yourself back and instead gave him a tight-lipped smile

“It’s okay.”

Except it’s not okay bc the smile you flashed him didn’t quite reach your eyes

You packed up your things but then you realized that it’s raining :(

Of course you had forgotten to bring your umbrella

And you could feel the sudden weight of your emotions and you feel the telltales of tears that threatened to escape when a soft hand slipped into yours

“Here, let me walk you to the bus stop,” you hear his soft voice and and looked down to see his other hand gripping a floral umbrella

You almost smiled at the image of the man holding a pretty umbrella with daisies on it

You wanted to decline but who knows how long the rain would last?

So you reluctantly agreed to let him walk you

The walk was not like what you had expected

Jeonghan was more quite, more composed, his gait noticeably more sluggish than what you had accustomed to seeing in the café

But he let you have your peace for once and you were grateful for that

It wasn’t until later that he spoke up as he slipped a piece of paper with a series of numbers on it

“If you need anything.. Don’t hesitate to call me okay?”

F***ing smooth

You couldn’t help the small smile that made its way on your face

“Okay.”

It was then that the bus decided to come and you had to go

You felt a little regretful that you have to say good bye

Jeonghan slipped the umbrella into your hand

“Take it. The rain isn’t going to stop soon.”

You looked at him weird 

“But you’ll get drenched!”

He smiled “It’s okay, I got extra back in the cafe.”

And honestly, you were so touched??? You felt your heart grew a little tender for him

Maybe he isn’t so bad

“Thank you.”

And Jeonghan was a little taken aback because this was the first time that you actually smiled at him? 

He doesn’t think he’d ever get enough of it

The two of you went home with a little smile that day and he didn’t leave your mind until the moment you fell asleep

You didn’t visit the cafe for a while after that

It’s not that you didn’t want to

It’s just that life got in the way

You were busy and didn’t have the time to make visit and you were too shy to actually text him

And Jeonghan still worked everyday, hoping that it was you everytime another customer came in and got disappointed when it wasn’t

The others are also a little curious?? Bc did something happen??

Jeonghan himself felt a little hurt bc did he make the wrong move the last time he saw you? You never called him or texted him and he thought there was something there

‘I guess, I’m wrong’ the thought kept playing in his head

He didn’t know that you were actually looking forward to meet him again

I mean, you got to give back his umbrella right?

It wasn’t until a few weeks later that you managed to find the time to come

And when you came in, the others were like

“You’re back!!! Where have you been???”

You explained and they told you how Jeonghan seemed a bit down lately and that he’s actually taking the day off today

So you just passed the umbrella to the boys along with a note and left the café a little disappointed

“Looking for me?”

You looked to the side to see

“Jeonghan?”

He had the widest smile on his face and you wondered what made him look so happy

And he was happy because there you were, standing in front of him under the sunlight looking all beautiful and he felt his heart grew bc he saw you exiting the cafe and he just knew that you were looking for him

“Where have you been??” he asked

“Well, I have a life aside from being constantly dragged to a flower boy cafe, you know.”

“Touche.”

There was a brief silence until he spoke up

“Look, I’m so sorry if I annoyed you a lot. It’s just that..I like you.” he confessed

What is he, a kindergartener?

“And I was wondering if you wanna go out. On a date.”

You almost sputtered bc what?

Wow he finally got the balls to ask you out for reals, eh

“A date? At the cafe?”

“F*** no, anywhere but there.”

You both laughed at that

And you looked at him in the eyes and said

“Okay.”

And you could distinctively hear the boys’s howls and whistles from inside the cafe, all of them squished to the windows making heart gestures at you two

“Shalalalalalalalala~”

“Oh my god.”

You could only laugh as Jeonghan shook his head in shame

Yeah, he’s not bad. Not bad at all.
