Wolf!X1 ( hyung line ) reaction to S/O coming home with another wolf's scent

Genre : yandere

tw : abuse, obsessive behavior, strong language

Seungwoo :

· The disgusting, horrible stench of another Alpha has instantly hit Seungwoo just as soon as you entered the house

· He'll frown and cover his nose, coughing

· “What the fuck is that?”

· When you explain that you were out with a friend who has an Alpha lover, he'll lose it

· “I fucking told you not to be around other Alphas. No, i don't fucking care he's taken!”

· He'll wash you all over and don't think you'll be going out alone ever again

Seungyoun :

· He's not angry. He’s mad, so fucking mad he feels like he’ll explode any second

· He’ll throw the clothes you were wearing out, not caring if they were expensive or not, they’re going into the trash can

· “Rules are fucking rules for a reason. And you fucking come home with another Alpha's scent, when i fucking told you not to hang around other Alphas”

· He'll make you shower at least three times so the disgusting stench can dissappear

· “Didn't that bitch see my mark? I'm going to fucking kill them, and it won't be colorful for you when i come back”

Wooseok :

· He'll grow darkly, pushing you up the wall and ripping your clothes off you

· “You stupid whore. How dare you? I let you go out for once, and you come back smelling like another Alpha?”

· You may as well say goodbye to the sunlight as you won't be seeing it again in a long, long time

· “I'm going to find and kill that bitch who scented you. And when i'm gome, i'll fucking break you”

Yohan :

· “W-Were you with someone? Please, be honest”

· After you tell him you were out with an Alpha friend he'll sigh shakily and nod

· He won't hurt you. But he will hurt your friend, even without you knowing

· “Ah, blood..? Where..? N-No, this is paint..”

· He doesn't want you to be upset or hate him so he has to kill your loved ones and friends in secret

Hangyul :

· So fucking mad and disgusted

· How dare you come here with such a disgusting stench? He's going to make you learn your lesson

· He'll bring the Alpha to you, forcing you to watch the tortures

· “It's your fucking fault, Y/N. You should've fucking thought about it before, hm?”

Masterlist l Chapter one l Chapter two l Chapter three l Chapter four l Chapter five 

↬ The two of you spent a good amount of time that evening together, getting to know each other’s kissing styles so that you could be prepared for the party. Or, to you, it was more of a moment to get to know the whole act of kissing itself. After some time, you actually grew more confident and less scared of the party. Or, at least that’s what you thought in the moment.

But when you woke up the next morning, there was a huge lump in your throat. You were a bit on-edge the whole day, and your mind wandered back to thinking about the party any time it could. 

As Fridays were the teams’ only weekday free from practice, parties were often held on exactly those days, except for if there was a game the morning after. Games were most often either on Saturdays or Sundays, with sometimes a celebratory party on Saturday evening if the game went well. There weren’t any games until the nationals, so the whole weekend would be free for players to be hungover, so Wooseok had planned his party on a good day. After school, you went straight back to your dorm to get some rest before Jinhyuk would pick you up at 8. Right as you were done eating a quick dinner, Sojung came crashing in through the door.

“Girl, I saw this in the shop window today and I needed to get you it for tonight,” she said as she placed a shopping bag on the floor in front of you.

“Didn’t you have class today?”

“Yes I did, but since when does that mean I have to attend it?” You chuckled at her response but grinned, reaching down to the bag. You saw that it was from a shop you had heard from - not exactly a cheap store.

“Sojung, I can’t take this. It must’ve been super expensive,” you said, giving her a thankful yet sad smile.

She shook her head at you. “It was on sale, like 70% off! And give it back tomorrow if you want to, just please, please, wear it tonight.” You stood still, only thinking about it for a few seconds, before agreeing. You nodded at her and could instantly see how her whole face shone up. “Try it on, then! Go!” 

You picked the piece of clothing out of the bag, and - it was really pretty. It was a black shoulderless dress, with the sleeves merely a little bit puffed. It was decorated along the chest and sleeves with strings, and only held up by two strings over the shoulders. You were stunned. “Have I ever told you that you have great taste in clothes?” Sojung only grinned and you could really tell how excited she was to see you in it. 

You got changed quickly, and when you were done, you turned around for her to see you - and her mouth hung agape. “Wow. Just wow,” she said and you couldn’t help blushing. You walked over to the full-length mirror by the front door and watched yourself. You weren’t someone who usually dressed up all fancy; you usually didn’t have a reason to. But now that you had, you felt confident. You looked good. The dress hugged your body in just the right places, and it wasn’t too short or too long for your taste. You smiled at the sight in the mirror. 

Sojung’s voice soon interrupted your thoughts. “Jinhyuk is going to love it. And you.” And now you were blushing even harder. You hadn’t thought yet about Jinhyuk seeing you in that dress, and suddenly you got really nervous. He had pretty much never seen you like this, all dressed up, and you were unsure of how he was going to react. 

“Let me do your hair!” Sojung’s mother was a hairstylist, so she had been taught how to work with hair from when she was very young. She always braided your hair for your competitions and put your hair in pretty hairstyles for special occasions. This time, she put your hair up in a cool ponytail and gave your hair some pretty waves. Just as you were about to check yourself out in the mirror, there was a knock on the door. You checked the time on your phone, 7:41, before opening the door - and behind it stood none other than Jinhyuk.

“Oh, you’re early!” you exclaimed, a bit surprised as you didn’t expect to see him so soon.

“And you’re really pretty,” he said and grinned, pulling you in for a hug.

You heard your own heartbeat very loudly in your head. Did he really call me pretty just now?, you thought to yourself. You breathed deeply to try to collect yourself, and put a bright smile on your lips as you pulled away from the hug. Your eyes scanned his outfit; he was wearing a white button-up with thin black vertical stripes, and its hem was lazily tucked into his ripped jeans at some parts. The jeans’ holes over his knees were so large that his whole knees were sticking out - but it looked cool nonetheless. And on his feet, a pair of regular white sneakers that matched his shirt. His outfit was simple, to say the least, yet it made him look very handsome. “Well you don’t look too bad yourself,” you snickered and nudged his side with your elbow.

“Do you need some more time or are you ready to leave?” You nodded and went to grab your phone, and on the way back you saw Sojung who was still watching you with a big smile plastered on her lips. You pulled her in for a hug.

“Thank you so so much,” you whispered to her and squeezed her extra tightly.

“It’s my pleasure,” she said back, pulling away from the hug to smile at you. 

You walked over to Jinhyuk who was holding his out hand for you, and you took it in yours. You put on your shoes and waved a last time to Sojung before leaving through the front door. “How are you feeling?”

You two began walking towards the exit and you let out a small sigh. “A bit nervous, but I’m fine.”

“Don’t be,” His thumb stroked the back of your hand softly as you went out through the front door, heading towards the parking lot. “I won’t leave your side, and you know you can cancel the kissing if you want.”

You nodded to yourself, but couldn’t get any more words out of your mouth. You wanted to do it, you really did - you really wanted people to think of you two as a legit couple for the contest - but it frightened you. A lot. Just the thought of being that close to Jinhyuk, kissing Jinhyuk, in front of all these people made you dizzy. But you had to stay strong.

You two soon reached Jinhyuk’s car which was parked in the school’s parking lot. As the party was going to be in an apartment off-campus, there was a drive of a couple of minutes, but Jinhyuk filled it up by talking to you about all kinds of nonsense to calm you down. When you arrived at Wooseok’s apartment, Jinhyuk ran around the car to the passenger’s seat to open the door for you and help you out. You smiled at his actions and thanked him, and he threw his arm around your waist to keep you close before leading you inside.

The room you first entered was the combined hallway/living room, with big speakers playing some kind of EDM music and lamps shooting beams in green and blue all over the room. There was a smell of alcohol, so strong your nose itched a bit. The room was filled with students with red cups in their hands, some dancing slowly and out of sync to the music, some just standing upright and talking. “Let’s find Wooseok,” Jinhyuk said and you nodded at him.

The room was so crowded that it was hard for you to get through, and Jinhyuk’s grip on your waist tightened, making sure that you wouldn’t fall away into the mass. You two made it into the kitchen after a few moments, and there was Wooseok, chatting with a girl who was sitting on a kitchen counter. You hadn’t seen her on campus before, but you assumed she went to your school - but you thought she must’ve been in a lower grade than you, as she looked a few years younger. She had light brown wavy hair that framed her pretty looks, and dark freckles that were sprinkled across her face.

“What’s up, man?” Jinhyuk said when you approached the two of them.

“Hey, I’m glad you both could make it!” Wooseok snickered, a grin spreading across his lips. “Guys, this is Natasha.” He introduced the girl and she waved to you with a cute smile. “Natasha, this is Jinhyuk and Y/N.”

“It’s nice to meet you,” you said and Jinhyuk nodded next to you.

“You too!” Natasha exclaimed and pulled a hand through her big, fluffy hair to get it out of her face.

You could really understand why Wooseok liked her (if it was actually real and not just to get on better terms with her father, that is). Everything about her was pretty - her smile, her nose, her hair, her eyes. If Wooseok is actually using her, you thought to yourself, then this is awful. Then she deserves someone much better.

The boys soon got immersed in a discussion about some football game, and Natasha was pulled away after a little while by one of her friends to the living room-area. You weren’t particularly interested in the conversation going on, but as you scouted the room you didn’t notice anyone familiar, so you had nowhere to go. So you stayed right next to Jinhyuk. And his arm never left its place around your waist.

After a while, you felt a tap on your shoulder. Turning around, you saw someone you knew. Kim Jiyeon, a senior and the greatest batter of the softball team. You two weren’t exactly best friends, but as you were teammates, you knew each other well.

“Hey girl! I didn’t think you’d make it,” she rejoiced and pulled you in for a hug.

Giving her a squeeze back, you smiled to yourself at her excitement. “It’s nice to see you!” You two pulled away from the hug. “I didn’t know you’d be here.”

“Well, this guy forced me to come here with him,” she said and pointed towards the boy standing behind her - Lee Hangyul, the baseball team’s strongest shortstop. He was responsible for more double plays than any other shortstop in the league last season. He was also a quite nice guy, one of the few boys on the team who didn’t consider himself “too cool” to talk to you softball players. He and Jiyeon were sworn best friends, and according to them only so - though a lot of people thought there was something else going on between them.

The boys broke off their chitchat and you all five started small-talking together instead. The boys soon went to get some drinks, and Jinhyuk kissed your cheek as he mumbled into your ear that he’d be back any minute.

Jiyeon leaned against a kitchen counter before she started talking. “So... How are you feeling about the competition? Are you nervous?”

You were confused. What contest was she talking about? “Do you mean the national championships?” you asked, to which she shook her head and smiled at you.

“No, the one tonight.” You searched through your mind. Did Jinhyuk mention any contest? Had your memory been erased in some magical way? Jiyeon saw your struggle and spoke up again. “The kissing contest. The round of ~too hot~, don’t you know? You and Jinhyuk are up against Natasha and Wooseok. The couple the crowd likes the most wins.”

Your heart stopped. Was this for real? You weren’t only going to kiss Jinhyuk in front of all these people, but you were going to be judged by them? The thought of them watching your every move, how your mouth moved against his, made your stomach twist. Your mind went blank and you stopped breathing for a few seconds.

A hand on your shoulder woke you up again. “Y/N? What’s going on?” Jiyeon’s voice echoed through your head along with the loud music and you blinked a couple of times to try to see clearer. Everything was dark. Your breathing became heavier.

“I-I-I need to get some air...” you let out all in one breath before turning around and moving as quickly as you could through the crowd. There were people everywhere, dancing and hollering at each other. The tunes coming out of the speakers made your head hurt, and the extreme smell of alcohol didn’t make it any better. As you pushed yourself between the students, you felt a strong pain in your chest and your breathing intensified. I just need to get outside, you thought to yourself. I just need some air...

Finally, after what felt like hours, you found a back door that lead to Wooseok’s small backyard. Pulling the handle down with all the power you had left in your body, you let the door slide open and you threw yourself outside, letting it close behind you. You sat down on the grass and it was as if you finally let loose. Like everything just poured out of you. The anxiety over having to kiss him in front of someone, anyone at all, and the anxiety of knowing they will judge you from all that you do. You started hyperventilating, and now tears were falling along your cheeks nonstop. You felt like someone was choking you. The world was spinning and you reached forward with trembling hands to try to stabilize yourself to the ground.

Suddenly, your arms were pulled gently up over your head and your hands were held by another large pair of hands. “Breathe,” a voice whispered lowly.

You recognized it - it was Jinhyuk’s.

“Do it with me. Breathe in,” he said and really emphasized the in, signaling for you to take it slow. “and out.” And so he continued. You tried your best to follow him, even though it was hard.

And Jinhyuk was nothing but patient with you. He took it slow, and focused on helping you bring you up from all of this. His thumbs alternated between stroking the back of your hands and wiping tears off your cheeks.

When you eventually calmed down and could breathe properly again, you felt another wave of feelings wash over you - but this time, it was feelings of embarrassment. You had been sitting here crying like a total freak, in front of one of the most popular boys in school, a boy you knew talked to all his friends about almost everything - especially when it came to girls.

You looked away as he let go of your hands, and could feel your cheeks heating up instantly. Your hand went up to draw your fingers through your hair, a habit of yours for whenever you got embarrassed. “Are you okay?” the boy in front of you asked, seemingly worried.

“Yes,” you spoke in a weak voice, feeling like your voice wasn’t strong enough not to crack if you were to say anything else.

“What caused all of this? Is it the kiss?”

You shook your head. ”No...” you mumbled. “or, yes, kind of. I don’t know.” A couple of lonely tears ran along your cheek once again. “I heard about the... competition.”

“The what?”

“There’s apparently some kind of contest between you and me, and Wooseok and Natasha.”

You looked up at him after finishing your sentence, and Jinhyuck pulled a face you couldn’t quite understand, but he looked really confused. “What?!”

“Jiyeon told me about it, and...” You let out a sigh. “something just happened. I couldn’t control it. I needed to get out of there.”

Suddenly, Jinhyuck pulled his arms around you and engulfed you into a soft hug. “There’s absolutely no pressure to do this, okay? We can go back to the dorm right now if you’d like to.”

Shaking your head, you pulled away from the hug and wiped away the last of your tears. “I can go through with the kissing, it’s just the contest that I’m not up for.”

“I could go inside and tell them to call it off?”

You looked up at him with hope in your eyes. “Could you do that?”

He nodded and smiled at you. “Of course. Anything for you.”

A weight lifted off your shoulders and you could finally smile again. Did he really mean that? Saying that was really sweet of him, and it didn’t seem like he only said it for the deal - it seemed like he genuinely cared for you.

“Thank you.” He nodded and reached forward to cup your face, stroking your cheek with his thumb ever so softly, before standing up and walking back towards the house. But as he was about to enter, the door was opened by someone else - Seungyoun.

“Is she okay?” He asked, shooting a worried glance over towards you.

Jinhyuk nodded. “Just... be gentle with her,” he muttered under his breath before heading in to the party and letting Seungyoun walk over to you.

He stopped right in front of you and sighed, before saying “We need to talk.”.

request by @domgju : hello!!! could u pls write an x1reaction to their gf or s/o being tall (168cm~176cm) ❤ tysm have a great day!!

(a/n: i’m so so sorry for the late post! school and writers block has been taking a toll on me, i hope everyone understands, i’ve also modified the hieght a bit to make it a gender neutral one for any it’s boy one it’s & thank you! you too! ♡)

masterlist - requests

x1’s reaction to their s/o being tall!

han seungwoo

i don’t think he wouldn’t really care about your height? like he doesn’t really think much about it but when he first met you, he was pretty shocked on how tall you were compared to other people. nonetheless, would just love you for the way you are. (ʃƪ˘⌣˘)

“how tall are you? ... are you sure you’re that tall? i feel like you’re taller than that.”

cho seungyoun

this clown would always jokingly tease you for your tall height, even though he himself is easily one of the tallest member in x1. looking past all of his teasing, i think he would sometimes show that he adores how tall you are, you would have that perfect height that would reach to his shoulders so you could always give back hugs to him.

“haha! you’re so tall! beanstalk!”

whateven- i would say like what’s up skyscraper but he’s also tall-

kim wooseok

why would i feel that wooseok would be a bit salty about this? since he is considered to be in the “short line” along with dongpyo, he would probably wouldn’t mind it though, unless you tease him on how short he is (if you are taller than him). his reaction would probably be from that gif above.

“awh babe, you look so small and tiny!”

“hahaha, yeah sure.”

wooseok’s voice comepletly laced in sarcasm as he sarcastically agreed, putting up a blank stare on his beautiful face.

kim yohan

yohan is automatically a giddy person, so he would probably would give that famous smile of his whenever the topic that has to deal with height pops up. but i don’t he would ever realize that you were tall unless you have stated on how tall you are or if someone commented on it.

“wow (insert name), you’re really tall! what is your height?”

“ah, thank you! i am (whatever height)!”

lee hangyul

okay so i came up with two ways hangyul could have maybe react to their s/o you being tall, i wasn’t sure on what he would actually act like. it could go two ways, one of them is that he would probably boast to his members and love it or he mainly doesn’t acknowledge that his significant other is tall. i’m going to choose the latter because of dongpyo’s scenario that you’re going to see later.

even though he will mainly ignore it, there will be times where he would absolutely love your height.

“have you recently grown taller?”

“yes, why?”

“oh i just noticed that you’re nearly catching up to hyeongjun’s height.”

cha junho

chacha would absolutely be shy, in my opinion, i think he’s just a shy person in general, he would be shy about it but he would still adore how tall you were. he wouldn’t tell your verbally, but he would tell you how he feels based on his actions, either by patting your head, or back hugging one another.

“oomph-“

“i am now the tallest!”

son dongpyo & song hyeongjun

• dongpyo would always tell people how his s/o is really tall, that they’re even taller/the same height as him. but in reality when you two are alone, he wouldn’t even talk about it.

“stop growing taller, you hear me?”

cue gif with hyeongjun

“it’s not my fault i’m still growing.”

• hyeongjun is such a cutie, that starter sentence was totally unnecessary but yeah i’m not sure on how he would react but i think he would also be one who adores it, but also wouldn’t verbally say it. similar to junho’s situation, he would probably be too shy expressing his love for you, etc.

“you’re so cute! i must protect.”

i swear he’s glowing, i cry

kang minhee

minhee at first would be able to look up at you whenever you two were talking, (that is if you’re taller) he would always smile or laugh whenever he has to. but if you’re a bit shorter than him then that’s the perfect height for him to place his chin over your head, imagine how cute that would be.

“minhee, i need to grab some snacks. please let go, i promise you can cuddle me when i get back.”

“can we just stay like this please.”

lee eunsang

eunsang would actually do the opposite of hyeongjun or junho, at least to what i think. he would verbally tell you on how he loves how tall you are, whether you’re taller or a tiny bit smaller than him he doesn’t care. if he heard your friends talking about how tall you are he would send a heart your way.

“wow you’ve grown again! at this point you could be taller than me!”

nam dohyon

this babie would be one of the members who boasts to his group members that he has a s/o who is really tall like him. you two would gain the title called “tall babies” considering that you two are really tall for your age.

“see! (insert name) is the same height as wooseok!”

“hey dohyon?”

“yes wooseok?”

“shut up.”

Masterlist l Chapter one l Chapter two l Chapter three l Chapter four l Chapter five

↬ You weren’t a shy type of person. Heck, you were one of the most extrovert and outgoing people your friends knew. So it was nothing weird when they confronted you about being so quiet around Jinhyuk. 

Today was Thursday, and you had entered your fake relationship with Jinhyuk only three days ago, but the two of you had spent a lot of time together so far. You had eaten lunch together a couple of times, and you had hung out with him and the other boys from the team a bit aswell. Hyunjung and Sojung easily noticed how you weren’t acting quite... yourself around him. “Is something wrong? Is he being mean to you? Does he not want you to be your usual loud self?” Sojung asked when you three had gathered in your and Hyunjung’s room after school. 

“It’s nothing like that...,” you began, sitting down by your desk to try to catch up on some homework. “I just get nervous, you know? It’s been a while since I’ve had an actual boyfriend. And I just want to be accepted by his friends before, you know, getting loud.” 

“But didn’t you say you two dated for a while before telling us? Were you quiet like this then too?” Hyunjung asked as she threw herself onto the couch. 

“No, of course not,” you scoffed. “It’s different when it’s just him and me.” You looked down into your englishbook, the room growing quiet for a couple of moments. But you soon gave up on studying and turned around in your chair. “Also, he asked me to go with him to Wooseok’s party tomorrow.” For a while, none of them said anything. They stopped in their tracks, their thoughts not processing quickly enough for them to say anything. “What’s the problem?” 

“A-are you okay with that? Going to that party?” Sojung asked and you frowned at her. 

“Why?” 

“You know what they do to new couples there, right?” 

You thought about it. Had Jinhyuk mentioned anything special? “No...” 

Sojung gasped. “Jeez, you’re about to go to Wooseok’s party with your new boyfriend and you don’t even know what you’ve signed up for. You’re unbelievable.” 

“How about you just tell me already, hm?” you asked, a bit passive-aggressively.

“Wooseok always throws a party in his apartment when there’s a new couple in the team, and this time there are two; you and Jinhyuk, and Wooseok and Natasha.” Ah right, Natasha was the coach’s daughter. “In the middle of the party, everyone gathers in the living room, and the new couple is told to play a modified version too hot.” I knew what that was. It’s a game where two people kiss without any other body parts than their lips touching each other, and the one who touches the other first looses. “But instead of having one of the partners losing, they just challenge the couple to see for how long they can do it. I guess they want to test how close the couple has become and how comfortable they are with each other, and if they’re comfortable enough to kiss in front of other people. If they do not go through with the game though...” She grimaced.

“What? Why that face?”

“They get teased about it a lot. A lot. Most couples can’t handle that pressure, so they break up after it. You know Seungwoo and his old girlfriend? They were such a great fit and they were so cute together, but they couldn’t handle being picked on like that.”

You sighed. How come Jinhyuk hadn’t told you about this? Did he want you to not know about it just to like what, embarrass you and get picked on?

Interrupting your thoughts was a knock on the door. You stood up and walked over to it, and behind it stood in fact that boy you had just been talking about. He was there to pick you up for practice, as both of your practices began at the same time.

“Hey,” he said and grinned, leaning over to you to give you a hug - but you only put a finger in his chest and pushed him off. A confused look spread across his face.

“We need to talk, young man,” you demanded and frowned, which didn’t exactly ease the look on his face.

“...okay.” He nodded slowly. “Do you have your bag?”

“Yes,” you hummed and grabbed your practice bag from next to the door, before looking over your shoulder and waving at the girls sitting in your couch, Jinhyuk doing the same. The two of you walked out through your front door, closing it behind you, and Jinhyuk took your hand in his. It had almost become a habit for you - when you were walking somewhere together, you held hands. But still, it made your stomach bubble a bit in excitement every time. You tried to control it with your usual thought; it’s only acting.

“So?” He asked as you began walking towards the exit.

“So?”

He sighed. “You wanted to talk to me.”

“Not in here, you never know who’s eavesdropping.” He chuckled but understood, and you two continued walking quietly through the hallways and out through the front door. You kept quiet for a little while more, wanting to get a bit away from the building before talking. Someone with good ears, or a purpose of overhearing, could still easily hear you two through an open window if you were too close. Just as Jinhyuk started thinking it was weird that you still were quiet, you stopped in your tracks and faced him. “Were you planning on telling me about the party?”

He frowned. “What do you mean? Wooseok‘s party?”

“You know what I’m talking about.” His eyes enlargened and he looked like he was trying to think about what you could mean. “What they do to new couples. The round of too hot.”

“...Oh. That.”

“Didn’t you plan on telling me? Did you want me to freak out and not have any idea what to do?”

“I was going to tell you. Today.”

“Wow, you’re really a man of great planning, Jinhyuk!” you scoffed and rolled your eyes at him.

“We don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, you know,” he told you and gave your hand a light squeeze.

You sighed. “What’s the other option? Get teased and not win the crown?”

“You’ve got to put your own well-being first, you know. I know you want to win, but-“

“I’ll just have to get on with it.” You cut him off mid-sentence. “It’s not like it means anything anyway, it’s just acting.” You knew that your words were true, yet it still made your heart race even thinking about it. Now, the problem was deciding if it was the kissing itself that made you feel like this - or kissing Jinhyuk in particular. You hoped for the first one. Something you had understood pretty early was that it would be bad to catch feelings for a person you’re fake dating when you’re sure that the other person doesn’t have any feelings, so you were trying your best to avoid it.

“Just let me know if you change your mind, hm?” You nodded and smiled at him before the two of you started walking towards the court again. “How are you feeling about nationals? Are you excited?”

Right. The national championships. The first games were coming up soon, so the team was practicing extra hard. The baseball championships and softball championships weren’t the same year, so the competition was only every two years for you, and this year was the softball championships. Last time, you weren’t participating - you were considered “too young”, even though you had clear talents, and so you were placed on the stands to cheer. And this year, it wasn’t only your first national championships, but it was also your first time as the team captain and first pitcher. So you were extremely nervous.

“Excited, yes, but also nervous.”

“Why so? Aren’t you practicing real hard?” He teased and you stuck out your tongue at him.

“Of course I am. But...” You sighed. “It’s my first time.” 

“Didn’t you play last time?” 

“No, I was cut last-minute last time.” 

“Yikes.” He chuckled. “I knew your coach was harsh, but...” 

“It’s also my first big tournament as the team captain, which means the pressure will be huge on me handling the entire team and getting everyone to play their best and-”

He cut you off in the middle of your rant by stopping in his tracks, making you get pulled to a stop as well due to your hands still holding each other’s. “You’re going to do well,” he started and cupped your cheek with his free hand. “I know so. Don’t be nervous.” And he flashed you one of his pretty smiles. And you weren’t quite sure what to do. It helped you, it really did; you felt a lot less nervous, knowing that he seemed to genuinely believe you could do well. You let out another sigh, but a more happy one this time, letting a small smile crack up on your lips, as you nodded. 

The rest of the walk was pretty silent. The court and practice center laid pretty close to the schools main building, only about a ten-minute walk, so you arrived pretty soon. But before you pulled up at the building, a couple of meters away, Jinhyuk stopped again. 

“About tomorrow though...” He looked a bit around you two to make sure no one was listening. “Should we do something? Like to prepare?” 

You shot him a questioning look. 

“I mean... Like... Practice? Or something?” You chuckled lowly and shook your head. 

“What?” 

He thought for a moment, dragging a hand through his hair. “Okay, like this. Have you ever kissed someone?” 

You froze. The last kiss you could remember was when you kissed a classmate on his cheek in second grade. So, you weren’t exactly experienced. But you couldn’t tell Jinhyuk that. “O-of course I have!” 

“Why the stutter?” 

You hit his arm. “It’s October and we’re outside in the cold, people stutter when they’re cold. Let’s go inside.” 

“Wait, what do you think? About the... practice?” 

You considered it for a while, before beginning to walk inside, shooting a look behind you to Jinhyuk who was still standing there. “Meet me in my room at 9.”

And right on time was a knock on your door from him. You silently thanked the gods that Hyunjung had gone out to study in the library at the moment, as you made your way over to open the door for him.

“Are we alone?” he asked and threw a glance around the room to make sure, and you nodded. “Good. This could’ve been weird otherwise.” He walked over to stand a few meters into the room, and you closed the door behind him, following him to stand in front of him. “Okay, so...”

“First, there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you,” you said and he nodded for you to go on. “You know that test I had the other day, the chemistry one, did I tell you about that?”

He shook his head.

“Then how did you know?”

He grinned. “I’ve got my sources.”

You hit his shoulder. “Hey!”

“Okay, okay,” he laughed. “You know Hangyul from the team? He’s in your chemistry class, right? And he mentioned something about a chemistry test that day.” You frowned, a bit confused. “I thought it would be a nice thing to say in front of all our friends, to make it seem like you had talked about your worries to me earlier on a date or over text or something.”

Jinhyuk was going deeper into this whole fake-relationship thing than you thought. Had he really made that connection in his mind and thought about you when Hangyul mentioned it? You smiled, quite satisfied with the whole situation - maybe this whole thing was going to be easy for you if you had Jinhyuk by your side.

“Now, when was your last kiss?” You remained silent. “You can be honest with me. I won’t judge.”

Now here was a dilemma. Telling him the truth would be awkward, and you were scared that he would make fun of you about it. You were a person who always made your best to tell the truth - except for a couple of white lies every now and then - as you know that it is something that helps strengthen all kinds of relationships. And you knew that looking back at this situation, you would realize that it would make pretty much everything about this situation easier if you told the truth. With that in mind, you took a deep breath and looked down. “A bunch of years ago, maybe first grade? Second? I’m not sure.”

“Then, will you be comfortable with me being your first kiss as a young adult?” he teased with a grin in the corner of his mouth, but you could still feel how sincere his question was. How he really wondered if you’d be alright. You nodded and looked up at him again, into his eyes that were filled with nothing but calm. “I’ll lead you, don’t worry.”

His right hand moved down to cup your cheek ever so delicately, his thumb slowly stroking over your soft skin. His

And as his face lowered towards yours, and his lips touched yours for the first time ever, your mind wandered away to think about the whole situation again. About how fast everything had gone. You had entered this fake relationship only this Monday, and now, four days later, you stood kissing a boy you were barely even friends with before this week began.

Life could really turn out... weird. Not that you were complaining.
