You reach forward, attempting to stretch out by grabbing your toes while sitting on the floor. The practice room floor was hard, bouncy, but uncomfortable.

Jaehyun watches himself in the mirror, making faces to himself. Riwoo watches himself but repeats a dance instead, practicing to make it perfect. Taesan taps away on his phone while pacing, and Leehan sits on the floor a foot away from you, looking up at Jaehyun and Riwoo.

Woonhak opts to sit next to you on the floor. He whines and complains about how his back ached. Your own thoughts are too loud to comprehend his words.

"Y/n?" Woonhak suddenly pushes your shoulder with his palm, "Were you even listening...?" He pouts.

"Uh..." You blink, turning to him, "Yeah."

"Okay, then what did I say?" He crosses his arms.

You freeze, unable to conjure up anything. Before you can open your mouth, Woonhak groans.

"You've been distracted since yesterday," He points out, "What are you thinking about?"

"You're nosey." You sigh, leaning back to lay on the ground. Woonhak laughs.

"So what? What if I was just worried about you? Hm?"

"Since when are you worried about anyone?"

Woonhak pushes your knees, "I'm for real."

You close your eyes, the lights on the ceiling straining your eyeballs. You could tell Woonhak of your troubles, but it wouldn't matter. You didn't want to waste the time explaining how you felt. It wouldn't do any good. You might even get embarrassed.

You left Enhypen's dorm early this morning, being violently woken up by Jay and a pillow. Ni-ki had been rushed out so fast that you barely got to talk to him. You couldn't remember if he had said anything to you besides 'Let yourself out!' while he was fixing his hair as he exited.

For a moment you were alone in Ni-ki's room. It felt wrong like you weren't supposed to be there. You got up quickly after they left, cleaned up your food from last night, and left the dorm immediately.

You wanted to text him. You wanted to talk to him, be near him. You were both busy. It was normal for you guys to go days without talking, but ever since last night, you have felt more clingy than ever. You wanted nothing more than to be in his arms again. You got a taste of something great and then it was ripped from you too fast.

"Y/n! Woonhak!" Jaehyun calls out, smiling while looking at you two from the mirror. "Can you two grab water?" He asks sweetly.

Woonhak groans again, "Why do we have to do it?"

"Because you're the maknaes!" He teases with a giggle.

Despite Woonhak's complaining, he gets up along with you and you make your way to the hallway. Usually, there were a couple of vending machines in the hallway. You look out for the one you always go to.

"You go get them, I gotta use the bathroom." Woonhak suddenly announces, patting your shoulder while running in the opposite direction. Your face contorts as you fight the urge to yell at him.

As you continue down the hallway, you listen to each practice room as other groups blasted their music. It leaks through the walls, but not enough where you could make out anything important. You see the vending machine come into view.

Before you can reach your destination, a door to the practice room swings open before you. Laughter erupts from a small grouping of men as they exit.

You bow with respect. Jungwon, Heeseung, and Ni-ki emerge from the door. They bow back, except Ni-ki, who suddenly hides his face with his hood up and pretends he hasn't seen you yet.

"Sorry, I didn't greet you this morning!" Jungwon apologizes with an overly polite smile, "We had a meeting." He explains.

"Oh no, I- It's all good." Your voice shakes with anxiety. Talking to your seniors always makes you more nervous than it should. Jungwon wasn't even that much older than you, his status as 'leader' was more intimidating than his age.

"Ni-ki fell asleep in the meeting because of you." Heeseung teases. Ni-ki lifts his head to push his hyung quite forcefully, prompting a shove back from Heeseung. "Watch it or I'm sending that picture to the group chat." He threatens.

"You got a picture?" You freeze, your face turning red. Jungwon giggles at this, turning in the other direction to be polite. But you could still tell he was laughing at you.

"Yeah, You wanna see it?" Heeseung smiles, pulling out his phone from his pocket.

"No, No," Ni-ki lunges forward, "Delete that shit right now." He wraps his hand around Heeseung's phone as the two wrestle for the device.

Jungwon can't contain his laughter now, bent forward as the non-stop laughing begins to make his stomach hurt. This in turn makes you laugh.

Ni-ki pauses to look at you. Heeseung takes this moment to snatch his device back and push the younger off of him. Ni-ki listens to your laugh as it dies down.

You smile at him, and he smiles back with shaky lips before looking away. "Can we just go?" He asks.

"Bye Ni-ki." You wave, causing him to pause.

"B- Bye Y/n."

Heeseung and Jungwon laugh at his expense.

"maybe you should start dating. get yourself out there, you know?"

lee sanghyeok rolled his eyes as his best-friend, myung jaehyun, talked his ears off. the pair of friends were at their local mall, slurping up the brightly coloured slushies they picked up at the food court as they walked beside each other on the building's white marble floors.

"i'm just saying bro...like you've been so boring these days. all you do is dance and stay at home- you should be out kissing girls like the rest of us!" jaehyun exclaims, almost choking as he finished the rest of the fruity beverage. sanghyeok laughs, tossing his own empty cup into a trashcan, "like any girl would willingly go out with me" his friend sighs, "that's so not true, i'm sure there's someone out there who's just as weird as you- ow!" jae rubs the spot on his shoulder that the other boy had just struck with his hand, a huge pout on his mouth as he did so. "maybe no chick wants you cause you're such a meanie-" he's cut off, "shut up" sanghyeok says, pressing his pointer finger over his lips to silence his friend who looked at him confused. "no, i'm serious sanghyeok, that slap really hurt and-" jaehyun doesn't get to finish again, "shh, shut up! do you hear that?"

"hear what?" the taller one asks, eyebrows furrowed as he watched his friend begin to follow whatever sound he was hearing. it got louder as they began to approach the end of the mall's hallway, an up-beat song entering their ears as they came face-to-face with what seemed to be a new arcade that had just opened. sanghyeok's eyes widened as the scene in front of him came into view, the source of the music finally revealed. jaehyun gasps, "no way...is that a...is that what i think it is?" his best-friend nods slowly, a huge grin making it's way to his face. "yup...yes it is..." he says, a passionate glint in his eyes.

"...dance dance revolution"

"c'mon!" sanghyeok says excitedly, signaling for his friend to follow him into the crowd of people that surrounded the infamous dance game. there seemed to be a match going on, two figures on the machine, a boy and a girl. the boy wore cargo pants and a jersey, eyes focused on the screen and slight worry in his breath as he tried to keep up with his opponent; a girl in a pair of low-rise jeans and a tank-top with a cute graphic on it, she had a smile on her face as her feet effortlessly moved along to the beat of the song. "woah...she's really good.." the lee boy tells his friend, watching as her hair jumped with each and every one of her moves, her giggles like music in his ears as she turned around in circles for her finale, beating her opponent with ease.

"ah fuck!" the male on the machine says, throwing his hands in the air in frustration. "haha! don't beat yourself up on it, good match" the girl cheers, reaching an arm out to shake hands. sanghyeok smiles to himself, he'd never seen anyone play dance dance revolution so...prettily. jaehyun notices his friend's gaze on the stranger, a smirk on his lips as he patted the boy on his back. "who's next?" the girl says, hands holding onto the railing of the machine's platform. "dude, this is your chance!" the myung boy whispers, pushing his friend forward. "what! no way! what if i totally make a fool out of myself and-" he didn't get to say another word, "MY FRIEND WILL PLAY!"

sanghyeok's eyes go wide and a shy blush appears on his face as everyone in the room turns to face him. the girl on the machine smiles softly at him, turning all of his insides into pure mush. "really? doesn't look like your friend is up for it..." she says, giggling at the way the boy couldn't keep eye contact with her. jaehyun nods quickly, giving his friend another push, "you'll play...right, bro?" his words are kind of taunting, like there would be grave consequences if he didn't say yes. finally, the lee boy looks up and nods, "ye...yeah...yeah let's play"

the crowd cheers for him loudly as he hops onto the platform. "hi, i'm yn...yn ln! and you are...?" the girl introduces herself and then asks, laughing slightly as he struggled to mutter out a response. "hi...hi i'm um...sanghyeok" he manages to say, lifting a hand up to shake her own. her grip on his hand is tight and warm, a fuzzy feeling swarming through his body at the contact. "nice to meet you, um...sanghyeok" she says, mimicking the way he stuttered earlier. the red on his cheeks and the tips of his ears got darker, "let's play! you are so going down" yn says, the both of them turning fully to face the screen in front of them. "don't get too cocky, yn...i'm kind of really good at this game" the girl gasps a bit, shocked by the shy boy's sudden confidence. "yeah right..." she scoffs, their banter coming to an end as the round came to a start.

"i'd like to see you try"

the audience that had now doubled gave the pair a round of applause, "get ready to dance!" said the deep male MC voice that came out of the machine, signaling for the opponents to prepare themselves. yn turned to look at her rival, their eyes meeting for a second before the loud music removed their gazes from one another and back onto the large screen. the crowd of people yelled along with the machine's voice, "three!" their hands gripped tightly against the railings, 'two!" their eyes narrowed and fixed onto the game, "one!"

the song had started, bright lights flashing in front of them as different coloured arrows moved along the screen. their feet danced to match, jumping quickly to stay on beat. as it progressed to the chorus, the arrows moved faster and so did their legs, both dancers switching from regular foot taps to full blown dance sequences. it had gotten to that point in the game where the two rivals would start showing off.

she started it first, swinging her arms side to side and around her head; a staple tutting movement as she simultaneously hit every beat with her feet. "marvelous! combo thirty!" said the machine, allowing for a smirk to reach her lips. the boy scoffs, "that all you got?" he asks, a smug look on his face as he began to shuffle his feet in the most unnecessarily complicated manner, his arms spread out wide as he isolated each joint one by one into a wave. yn's mouth hung opened but her feet kept moving, the person beside her a completely different guy from who she swore he was when he had first stepped foot onto the platform. "perfecto! combo fifty!" the pair continued back and forth in intense battle, each combo getting higher than the one before.

the audience kept hyping them up, the crowd now split into two. half of them cheering on the boy and the other half for the girl. the song was about to hit it's climax, the up-beat tune getting faster by the second. the girl is about to hit her signature finale, the one he had seen her do when she was playing before. however, she couldn't even start and he had already beat her to it. a sly smile sneaking into his lips, his fang-like teeth peaking through it as he ricocheted his feet back and forth before twisting them over each other to spin in a circle and then finally jumping up high enough to strike a quick pose in the air and landing safely back down, his right and left feet placed perfectly onto the blue and red arrows on the platform, ending the round with yet another...

"perfect combo!"

the girl is stunned, she'd never seen anyone mimic her own signature finale like that before. moreover, she had never seen anyone beat her at dance dance revolution on their very first try. and she'd never expect that the shy boy who's friend had pushed to play would be the guy that did it. "woah...you're really good" yn says, laughing as the big "LOSER" text appeared on her side of the screen. sanghyeok smiles, "what did i tell you...!" they shared another giggle as they shook hands, "good game, sanghyeok" he nods, "good game, yn" they stared at each other for a while, their ears blocking out the sound of the loud arcade. their gazes lingered on each other, as did their touch as their hands remained intertwined.

"dude! you totally crushed that!" a voice interrupts their moment, myung jaehyun re-entering the scene. "and you too...uh...what's your name again?" the pair let go of each other's hand, the girl shifting her focus over to the other boy. "hi, i'm yn!" she says cheerfully, "nice to meet you, i'm jaehyun...sanghyeok's best-friend- er, his only friend- ow!" the dancer boy's arm moves up to strike at his yapping friend's head, causing him to lose balance and stumble over slightly. "sanghyeok, bro...we really need to talk about you hitting me all the time, man..." jae complains, and the other boy just rolls his eyes.

"don't listen to him, yn. i promise i'm not that much of a loner, i swear!" sanghyeok defends himself, making the girl laugh. "you're so cute" she says, beginning to hop off the machine. he follows after her, his brain blanking out a little as he processed her words. "you...you...i'm so...what did you say?" he stutters, that familiar blush making it's way onto his cheeks again. yn giggles, "i said you're so cute, sanghyeok" she spoke so nonchalantly, like what she was saying wasn't driving the boy properly insane. "anyways...i gotta bounce, i've been on that machine since it opened today and i need to eat something before i go crazy!" the girl smiles as she talks, grabbing her bag that sat on the floor of the arcade. the boy just nods at her, not really knowing what to say.

"i guess i'll...i'll see you around?" she asks, some sort of a hopeful tone present in her voice. he nods, "yea...yeah, yes! definitely" yn giggles again and the boy mentally slaps himself for stuttering so much. "okay then...i guess...bye then..." she drags her words, as if she wanted to prolong their conversation. "yeah...bye..." his voice is quiet, like he's disappointed that she had to leave so soon. yn waves softly before she turns away, leaving the boy and his best-friend standing there in the arcade.

"ow!" sanghyeok exclaims when he feels a hand push against the side of his head. "dude what the fuck are you doing! she was obviously waiting for you to make a move! you idiot!" jaehyun whisper-yells, a look that read 'duh!!' plastered onto his complexion. the shorter one looks confused, "what do you mean? what do i do?!" he asks, beginning to panic. "don't worry i gotchu bro" - "what's that supposed to-"

"HEY YN!! SANGHYEOK THINKS YOU'RE CUTE TOO AND TOTALLY WANTS TO GO OUT WITH YOU!!!"

the shy dancer boy slaps his palm onto his forehead, a feeling of deja vu when all eyes in the arcade turn towards him and his comically annoying best-friend. yn laughs, beginning to walk towards them again. "is that so?" she asks when she's finally within earshot. sanghyeok is flustered all over again, his eyes moving from looking at her to looking at the floor. he can't seem to speak though his mouth did open to. jaehyun rolls his eyes, nudging his friend to hurry up. "ye...yeah- i mean! you're...you're really cool and i think...i think we should...you know..." he starts, scratching the back of his head though it wasn't even a little bit itchy. the girl furrows her eyebrows and tilts her head, trying to understand what the boy was saying.

"you know...we should...go...out? some...time?"

the whole room goes silent, every single human being in the arcade stopping their games to watch and listen intently to the pair's conversation. yn's lips crack into a big smile, "i'd like that" she says, laughing when his eyes go wide in disbelief. "seriously?!" he practically squealed, his eyes disappearing and his teeth peaking out as he grinned widely. "yeah!" she says, "in fact...why don't you come grab something to eat with me right now? i heard they've got a yummy donut shop down on the first floor and-" she gets cut off, "shut up!" sanghyeok exclaims, a look of worry suddenly washing over the girl's face. "what...is it something i said? or..." the boy shakes his head, "what? oh! no, no! i just...really like...donuts..." his voice quiets down, suddenly feeling shy about his enthusiasm for the sugary treat. her nose scrunches up at him, finding his mannerisms so insanely cute.

"c'mon then, before i actually die of hunger" yn exaggerates, tilting her head in the direction of the arcade's exit. "yeah...let's go" sanghyeok smiles, nodding his head softly as he followed her out. "go get her, tiger! call me later! love you broski!" jaehyun yells out to his friend, scoffing and pressing a hand to his chest in shock when he only gets a middle finger in response.

"so you dance professionally?"

lee sanghyeok nods, taking a bite out of his glazed donut. "since i was three years old" he says. "no wonder..." yn ln responds, giggling when he looks up at her confused with powdered sugar coating his lips. "...only professionals are able to beat me in dance dance revolution!" the boy almost chokes at her words, "you're telling me you don't dance professionally? but you're so good?" the girl smiles, shaking her head. "nope! i watched a lot of dance movies growing up...and i just really love dance...but i never really got the chance to learn professionally...i'd love to though..." she trails off, taking a sip out of her drink. "i just don't know where to start"

sanghyeok nods along with her words, his eyes widening when an idea crosses his mind. "hey! maybe i could...like...teach you some time...maybe- i mean, if you want to, of course! i'm not forcing it on you or anything like that...it's just an idea that-" his rambling comes to an end when she stuffs a donut into his mouth.

"you know you talk just as much as your friend back there does..." yn teases, watching as he wiped away the chocolate filling that stained his lips. "but i love that...the idea i mean..." he raises his eyebrows, "really? cause if you do i'm so down to!" he says excitedly, and she nods with the same enthusiasm. "so..."

"how 'bout tomorrow? unless it's too soon?" - "it's never too soon to see you again, yn" - "okay, bring back shy stuttering sanghyeok, flirty sanghyeok is scary!"

he laughs, "...so tomorrow?" she nods, "tomorrow."

the end.

[anashins]

hi! can I request one where reader gets jealous and a bit sad because some girl was trying to hit on jae and he notices that so he makes up for reader in the most fluff way, please? only if you want to :))

Pairing: Jaehyun x reader

Genre: fluff

Word Count: 1k

Summary: "Is she your girlfriend-girlfriend or are you just talking?" - "If I kill you, are you dead-dead or just not breathing?"

A/N: Stumbled over a TikTok audio that fitted perfectly, I hope you like it 💜

“He sounds so good! I didn’t know your boyfriend could sing.”

“I overhear him in the shower sometimes,” you explained loudly, “but I had no idea either!”

You and your friend’s eyes were fixated on Jaehyun who was giving the performance of his life in the living room. The guests were either sitting or standing to listen attentively after someone had brought out a karaoke machine to spice up the party since the first ones had already prepared to leave.

Your boyfriend was singing some trendy pop song while others chanted along, raising the mood again after everyone had thought the party was dying. Watching him enjoy singing, dancing along and interacting with the audience made your chest swell with pride, and you found yourself nodding rhythmically as well even though you usually weren’t the one to verbally express your musical side. According to your friends, you sounded awful, and you left it like that.

But your boyfriend, on the other hand, was awesome. When he ended the song, people came up to him while others stormed to the karaoke machine to choose a song themselves. 

“Well, I actually wanted to go home already,” you said to your friend. “But I guess we’re going to stay for a bit longer. Wanna have another drink?”

“Sure.”

You went over to the kitchen where you found fun in mixing fantasy drinks for each other before you returned to the living room.

“Uh���” Your friend looked past you with a clear view to where another group had taken over the karaoke machine. “I think Jaehyun got a bit popular.”

“Yeah.” You chuckled. “After that performance, I can understand.”

“... with the ladies,” she added. “Look there.”

You shifted to where she was pointing and found Jaehyun standing there with a girl. Usually, for you, it wasn’t a problem. He had never given you a reason to be jealous or mistrust him, but you also had to admit that your boyfriend was very naive when it came down to flirting, so the longer he stood there, the more hope he gave the girl hitting on him. You had to nip her hopes in the bud.

“I’ll be back,” you told your friend, gave her your cocktail, and walked over to Jaehyun. “You were great!”

You luckily found them laughing mid-conversation, making it less awkward for you to jump in between.

“I know, right!” the girl chirped even though she had not been addressed by you, and it irritated the heck out of you. “I just told Jaehyun - that’s his name by the way - that he should be a singer, that’s how great he was.” 

Something in the way she spoke, so overly haughty like she had known him for years, overlooking Jaehyun entirely as well as though he was only a mannequin who needed a spokesperson, gave you the ick that quickly developed into a volcano that was close to erupting the moment she touched his arm in a claiming gesture. Enough was enough.

“I’m his girlfriend,” you blurted. “I know his name and that he’s a great singer. Good to see it’s getting acknowledged by other people.”

She didn’t have to know that you were concealing the truth, but being so bold also didn’t seem like you despite you still trying to stay polite while making your point clear.

“Oh?” She raised a brow and shifted to address Jaehyun. “Is she like… your girlfriend-girlfriend or are you just talking?”

You looked at your boyfriend-boyfriend, expecting him to reject her, but he seemed too stunned to speak. That man would rather eat something he was allergic to than tell the waiter that he brought in the wrong dish. Always reserved, even with his feelings for you. Yet, there were situations where he needed to take action, and one of them was now. Still, he didn’t utter a single word. Fine, then you’d do it yourself. 

“If I kill you,” you spoke to the girl with a low voice and narrowed eyes, “are you dead-dead or just not breathing?”

Without sparing either of them another glance, you turned on your heel and walked back to your friend who had observed the whole situation from a few feet away, but still not having gotten the gist of the whole conversation since the music was too loud.

“What happened?” she asked when you whipped your cocktail out of her hand.

“I need this.” And you downed it one go. “My boyfriend is too nice for this world.”

“And the problem is…?”

“I want him to tell everyone I’m his,” you complained to her. “I want him to show everyone I’m his. Is this too selfish? I don’t need him to scream at people he meets that I’m his girlfriend, but when he senses that a girl shows interest, to tell that he’s taken. I don’t need him to be all over me publicly, but holding my hand when he’s close to me or slightly touching my arm when he’s standing next to me would be nice. Is that too much to ask for?”

“Oh dear.” Your friend took a long sip from her own cocktail. “Careful what you wish for.”

Only now you noticed that the music had entirely stopped, and before you had let that fact sink in, Jaehyun’s voice already filled the room. 

“There is a girl here tonight who I really love. She’s my girlfriend and she’s standing right there,” Jaehyun announced into the microphone, making you slowly turn around to meet his loving gaze. The other guests were staring at you too, but you had your attention entirely on him only. “I want to make sure that despite me usually being reserved with my feelings, there is no one else I want to be with or am interested in, and I want to dedicate this song to her. It’s one I’ve written myself, and it’s about her. There is no music, so I hope you don’t mind an a capella version.”

Every kind of anger and frustration you had harbored dissipated with one heartbeat, and you locked your gazes with him, feeling nothing but love and understanding now when he started singing, capturing every listener’s imagination.

Yes, your boyfriend was oftentimes reserved with his feelings. But that didn’t change the fact that he still carried a lot of them and just had other ways to express them.

Jaehyun x Reader Arcade Date

Word Count: 60+ Genres: Romance, Fluff, Arcade Date themed Synopsis: Jaehyun and the reader share an enchanting evening at the arcade, filled with playful competition and intimate moments, culminating in a tender kiss under the stars. Their connection deepens as they realize their mutual feelings, promising each other that this night is just the beginning of something special.

You had been looking forward to this date for weeks. Jaehyun had promised an evening full of fun and surprises, and as you walked hand-in-hand into the vibrant and noisy arcade, you could already feel the excitement bubbling up inside you.

The lights were dazzling, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the rows of games and machines. The air was thick with the sounds of laughter, beeping machines, and the occasional triumphant cheer. Jaehyun squeezed your hand and smiled down at you, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

“Ready to win some tickets?” he asked, his voice low and smooth.

You nodded eagerly, your heart fluttering at the playful challenge in his tone. He led you to a row of claw machines first, each filled with a variety of plush toys and gadgets. You watched as he expertly maneuvered the claw, his focused expression making your heart race. He managed to snag a cute stuffed bear on his second try, and he handed it to you with a proud grin.

“For you,” he said, his fingers brushing yours as you took the bear from him. The touch sent a shiver down your spine, and you couldn’t help but blush.

“Thank you, Jaehyun,” you murmured, hugging the bear close.

Next, you found yourselves at a racing game. The seats were side by side, and you slid into one while Jaehyun took the other. The competition was fierce, with both of you determined to outdo the other. His intense focus was captivating, and you stole glances at him whenever you could. The way his muscles tensed as he steered, the curve of his lips as he concentrated – it was all incredibly attractive.

As the race ended, Jaehyun edged you out by just a fraction of a second. He turned to you with a triumphant smile, his eyes shining with victory.

“Looks like I win,” he teased, leaning in close. His breath was warm against your ear, and you felt a delicious thrill run through you.

“Barely,” you shot back, trying to ignore the way your heart pounded in your chest.

He laughed, a deep, rich sound that made your insides melt. “Want to try again? Or should we move on to something else?”

You opted for something else, and he led you to a dance game. The two of you stepped onto the platform, and the music started pumping through the speakers. Jaehyun moved with a grace and rhythm that left you breathless, his body swaying effortlessly to the beat. You did your best to keep up, but you couldn’t help getting distracted by the way he moved, the intensity in his gaze, and the way he occasionally brushed against you.

After a few rounds, you were both breathless and laughing. Jaehyun stepped off the platform and held out his hand to you. “You’re pretty good at this,” he said, his voice warm with admiration.

“You too,” you replied, your pulse racing for reasons that had nothing to do with the dancing.

He pulled you close, his arm slipping around your waist. “There’s one more game I want to show you,” he said, his lips close to your ear. The intimacy of the moment sent a shiver down your spine, and you nodded, unable to speak.

Jaehyun led you to the back of the arcade, where a photobooth stood waiting. He held the curtain open for you, and you stepped inside, the small space feeling even smaller with him so close. He dropped a few coins into the slot and the screen lit up with a countdown.

You posed for the first picture, both of you smiling brightly. For the second, he pulled you closer, his arm around your shoulders. The third photo caught you off guard as Jaehyun pressed a gentle kiss to your temple, and you felt your heart skip a beat. The final picture was a blur, your mind spinning from the unexpected kiss.

When the photos printed, Jaehyun held them up, his smile soft and tender. “I like this one,” he said, pointing to the third photo where he kissed you. “Do you?”

You nodded, your cheeks burning. “Yeah, I do.”

He took your hand and guided you out of the booth, the arcade lights casting a warm glow on his handsome face. “How about we get some ice cream to end the night?”

You agreed, and you found a small ice cream stand at the corner of the arcade. The selection was vast, and Jaehyun let you pick first. You chose your favorite flavor, and he picked something adventurous, matching his playful personality.

As you sat at a small table near the stand, you couldn't help but notice how the evening had taken on a more intimate, almost dreamlike quality. The lights of the arcade created a soft, colorful glow around you, and the laughter and sounds of games faded into the background, leaving just you and Jaehyun in your own little world.

Jaehyun took a bite of his ice cream and leaned back in his chair, watching you with a thoughtful expression. “You know, I had a feeling tonight would be special,” he said quietly, his gaze never leaving your face.

You felt a warmth spread through you at his words. “Why’s that?”

He shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. “Just a feeling. I wanted to do something different, something memorable.”

You nodded, touched by his thoughtfulness. “It’s been amazing, Jaehyun. Really.”

He reached across the table and took your hand, his thumb brushing over your knuckles. The simple touch was electric, sending a shiver of anticipation through you. “I’m glad you think so,” he murmured, his eyes darkening with something deeper.

You finished your ice cream, the atmosphere between you thick with unspoken feelings. Jaehyun stood and pulled you up with him, his grip on your hand firm and reassuring. “Let’s take a walk outside,” he suggested.

The cool evening air was a welcome contrast to the warm, bustling arcade. The two of you strolled down the quiet street, the sounds of the arcade fading into the distance. Jaehyun’s hand remained entwined with yours, the connection between you feeling more intense with each passing moment.

As you walked, Jaehyun pulled you closer, his arm slipping around your waist. You leaned into him, the warmth of his body comforting against the cool night. He led you to a small park nearby, where the two of you found a secluded bench under a large, old tree. The leaves rustled softly in the breeze, creating a soothing backdrop to the intimacy of the moment.

Jaehyun turned to you, his eyes searching yours. “I’ve wanted to spend time with you like this for so long,” he confessed, his voice low and sincere.

Your heart fluttered at his words. “Me too, Jaehyun.”

He smiled, a slow, mesmerizing curve of his lips that made your pulse race. He reached up and gently cupped your cheek, his thumb brushing softly over your skin. “Can I kiss you?” he asked, his voice a husky whisper.

You nodded, unable to find your voice. Jaehyun leaned in, his eyes fluttering closed just before his lips met yours. The kiss was soft at first, a gentle exploration that quickly deepened. His hand slipped to the back of your neck, holding you close as his lips moved against yours with increasing urgency.

The world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of you in a cocoon of warmth and desire. His other hand found your waist, pulling you even closer as the kiss grew more passionate. Your fingers tangled in his hair, and a soft moan escaped your lips, spurring him on.

When you finally pulled back, both of you were breathless. Jaehyun rested his forehead against yours, his eyes closed as he caught his breath. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” he whispered, his voice rough with emotion.

You smiled, your heart soaring. “I think I have some idea,” you replied, your fingers tracing the line of his jaw.

He chuckled softly, the sound vibrating through you. “I don’t want this night to end,” he admitted, his eyes opening to meet yours.

“Then let’s not let it end,” you whispered back, your voice full of promise.

Jaehyun’s eyes darkened with desire as he pulled you into another kiss, sealing the promise between you. The night stretched on, filled with shared laughter, whispered confessions, and the growing bond between you. The arcade adventure had been just the beginning, a prelude to a deeper connection that neither of you would ever forget.

[st4rdom-if]

For both ST4RDOM and KMonarchs, do you have a specific habit/ritual you do before getting on stage/going on tour? Any sort of lucky charm to ward off nerves?

Q: Either group can answer this; do you have a specific habit or ritual you do before getting on stage? Any sort of lucky charm to ward off nerves?

PK: PRAY.

Everyone laughs, PK included.

PK: But seriously, praying and humming anything, whether it is a song or scale, really helps to warm up your vocal cords.

Alex: Although PK says that, he actually gets a bag of chips from the closest vending machine to eat exactly ten minutes before we go on.

PK: You weren't supposed to tell anyone that! And anyways, that's what you do too!

Alex: Actually, I also get some coffee.

PK: Surely that is a big difference.

There is a sudden silence that fills the room, so Luc comes in with his own answer.

Luc: I usually practice my dance with the others. Then I take a break and hope for the best.

Gavin: Remember the time we had a dance competition to see who is the best?

Luc: Didn't I win?

Mingyu: No, I did.

Jaehyun: What? I dance better than you!

Mingyu: You want to try me? Let's face off after this, then.

Jaehyun: Sure, whatever you say. For the question, though, I usually take a nap. A long one.

Interviewer: What? How long?

Jaehyun: I don't remember...

Luc: It was two and a half hours. You woke up three minutes before we got on stage.

Jaehyun: That long? I'm usually not a deep sleeper. When was this?

Luc: A few months ago.

Jaehyun: Oh...I don't remember that.

Nari: Well, you're not alone because I also take a nap. Even though it takes me a while to fall asleep and they are usually short, they freshen my brain.

Jaehyun and Nari nod, having reached the same conclusion. It is a nod of acknowledgment—of kinship.

Vi: In addition to Nari taking a nap, she also gets extremely worried like Sofie. I am usually calm even though I can feel my brain shutting down.

Sofie: I worry and overthink too much, but at the end of the day I am reminded that this is my passion.

Nari: You only realize that after one of our managers tell you to stop pacing around the room, though.

Somewhere, one of the KMonarchs laughs, although it is quickly snuffed (it was Mingyu). Another chuckles (Seungho).

Sofie: It still counts as something. But my necklace usually calms me down. All I have to do is rub the stone and it soothes me.

Her hands reaches up to stroke the soft pink stone laced around her neck.

Interviewer: Can you tell me the significance of it? Who did you get it from? And do you wear it all the time?

Sofie: It's really just a necklace, but my mother passed it down to me. It's a reminder of my mother and her love for me, so I wear it all the time.

Interviewer: That's a sweet sentiment.

Sofie's lips turn downward before fixing itself to a strained smile.

Sofie: It is my lucky charm.

Interviewer: Yes, of course it is. Speaking of luck, I think someone hasn't spoken yet. Care to go?

The interviewer looks at Seungho, who flinches from surprise when everyone turns to stare at him.

Seungho: Shouldn't that be my own business?

Interviewer: You don't have to share, then.

Seungho: Sorry, that came out wrong. I meant that this question can be personal, but for me I usually scroll through Instagram and practice.

Sofie: Oh yeah, same. Sometimes there is nothing better to do so I go through my photos and maybe take some of our group.

Vi: You have to send me those photos, eonni. I'm still waiting for them.

Vi then grins at the interviewer and camera, teeth showing a little too much. Something twinkles in her eye like a trick of light.

Vi: I think we should we move on then, since everyone went. Don't want this to stretch out too thin, right?

Interviewer: ...right, yes. Let's see what is next on our list...

NEVERMORE: THE PEOPLE OF THE CLE

characters you'll meet in the clé

Read the full version here.

Read NEVERMORE | Content List

HANA

Hana is the first representation of Stay we meet in Nevermore, coming to them in the aftermath of District 9 and disappearing at the conclusion of the Injeon arc; inspired by the Prequel: Highlight Reel trailer, in which leaving District 9 is described as 'we went towards a small light, with you' - the you that they are indicating being Stay.

Hana is a singer, originally hailing from a childhood in Injeon when the city was still bustling and alive and then later sent to District 9 after the destruction of the city. Now, she seems like a liar and she moves like a thief, ghosting in and out of your grip at a whim and often skittish at the mere feeling of pressure. Mostly, these are harmless habits, drilled into her by District 9 to make her work around the secrets that she keeps hidden in her memory.

SEONHWA

Seonhwa is the second representation of Stay found in Nevermore, joining SKZ shortly after their escape from District 9 and remaining with them through the Miroh arc. Seonhwa was created out of a need to offer SKZ a connection to the twisted men, via Changbin's conversation with Seonhwa, and later the gimmick that takes them to the street in Miroh rather than the Citadel, where the Six live.

Seonhwa is younger than them, one or two years junior even to Jeongin, and he has spent a long time in District 9, his mind twisted and confused by the machine there. There's a childish and soft innocence in his demeanour and the hero-worship he looks at SKZ with, but also a rebellious streak in the way that he wants to help them fight The Six, and learn to dance and paint and draw freely.

JAEHYUN

Jaehyun is the original figurehead of the dokkaebi and the first introduction to their organisation. He provides valuable information to SKZ and the reader throughout the Injeon arc, when both are just getting to know the world and its rules, and prepares them for Miroh and the stakes that will be set there.

His life has been spent in equal parts in Miroh and as a member of the rebel organisation, pushing against the closing fist of The Six and the unnatural state of being that the Moments have moulded the Clé into. He's been the leader of the rebellion for a long time too; sure of himself and his beliefs, canny and intelligent enough to outmaneuvre The Six.

Having only ever known this state of soulless music and missing arts, Jaehyun dreams of the Clé as it is told in old history, a wild and unchecked place where you could do anything and end up anywhere. His belief is that there should be no one in power except the Clé itself, and that the world should be left to be as the world was supposed to be, even if it means giving up the comfortable ways of living The Six have created for them.

JINAE

Jinae is a glitch who was once trapped in District 9, as told by Hana and Jaehyun in the Injeon arc, but has since disappeared, the rest of her story to be explored later. Very little else is known about Jinae by any of these characters; being a glitch, she has always been an outsider in the Clé and a loner. For the purpose of the story, Jinae serves as an example of a glitch born in this world, seperate from Chan, establishing that this is a more common condition than the text might have first implied - but also, singling Chan out, as she was never able to break the machine or the glass.

CHINMAE

Chinmae is a librarian, historian, and researcher in Miroh, living on the fringes and hiding in his library to avoid raising the attention of The Six. He is a source of information to Felix during this arc, informing him on the history of the Clé.

Chinmae is an unlikely rebel, too cowardly to go out and fight on the streets where he could be caught, but too curious to ignore the discrepancies he sees in the world. He gives off the impression of being all-knowing, or exceedingly wise, only for the realisation to come that, as a regular resident of Miroh, he has no idea what the Moments truly are, or how much time has really passed him by.

[techtechonmymind]

hello it is your local ten and doyoung stan reacting to the 7th sense 2023 edition

- taeyong is so freaking good

- it’s beautiful how much they’ve grown

- taeyong/doyoung harmony > doyoung/jaehyun harmony is nice with the first take it slows

- doyoung hidden dance machine of nct!!! was feeling himself here and i am obsessed (ALSOOO AHHHHHH please put ten and doyoung on more songs together so i don’t get this level of unhinged when i see them dance together lol):

- they sound so beautiful - I’m tearing up lmao

- TEN RAP LET’S GOOOO RAPPER TEN CENTER TEN LET’S GOOO FAVEEEEE

- hmm, this move is originally a little hip move and it’s one of the most satisfying parts of the choreo for me - I’m kinda confused why they changed it just basebally arms. was it difficult to get synchronized? or maybe it’s just an accommodation for someone.

- doyoung/mark lines are also beautiful! mark had lovely vocals honestly

- aw mark’s rap - this just reminds me of how absolutely tiny he was when this came out. he was an entire kid and it’s really cool hearing how he’s stylizing it this time

- another choreo change - all of them do the shoulder pops in the original choreo, but only taeyong does it here. the rest are doing a more wavy extended arm thing (i typed wayv at first lol). it’s nice. I was always impressed with the popping but i think it’s probably hard to synchronize - i wonder if they just wanted to change it up and create a different picture. very pretty.

- he’s also very pretty

- lol mark’s first “uh” is… something haha

- is that whistle in the original track? I feel like i’m hearing brand new sounds in this song lol

- taeyong has been killing this choreo since literal day one, but he just executes it SO prettily in this performance, i am utterly captivated.

anyway final thoughts are i love it so much they are so beautiful and wonderful and talented best unit favorites on favorites i am so serene and happy lol

[dojae-huh]

Fancon Mute: Day 2

(271024)

Doyoung, Johnny came. Chris Lee (the head of A&R in SM and the CEO of r&b label KRUCIALIZE), Kang Byeongjun (Neo centre director). Do's manager. JN's manager? And some other staff.

It's important that both Jae and Do are supported by higher ups in the company. Both Lee and Kang were with NCT in the beginning.

There are videos on YT and Beyond live rips of Day2 somewhere, so I will just post a few fancams.

Entering the venue.

Song cuts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Can’t take my Eyes off you, Completely, Try again

Real Peach VCR

Photos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Out of the smoke, English please, rambling Jae, Resonance, R2, reading a fan letter,

Peach boy: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Explaining why he cried during Day1, farewell words, farewell joke, stay healthy, final kiss. A letter for the fans.

Leaving the venue with flowers.

Do cheering: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, pics, 7, 8, 9, singing along to Dandelion, joining fans calling Jae as Jaehyun-samchon (uncle Jaehyun)

Cinematic parallels.

The concert was finished with NCT 127's song "Promise you". JohnDo were shown during this segment on the screen. No, you will greet Jaehyunee standing, Johnny-hyung, heh. Later that day Doyoung posted an IG story with a picture of the scene with the first words from the song and caption "Jaehyunee *heart*" and giant handwritten "J".

Bye 아무렇지 않게 인사한 채

Why 우린 아직까지 닿지 못해

(Bye, greeting each other casually

Why haven't we reached each other yet)

Fans commented that Do was too engrossed in watching the concert and waving his lightstick, so he took out his phone only at the end.

"Promise you" is a fitting song for the last appearence of Jae before the fans, however, can't help myself and not think about JaeDo's chorus and Do's prominent "so stay" part. Afterall, if I'm not mistaken Jae was the only neo who used a full NCT song? (won't be surprised if it was staff's idea, though, the lyrics were not prepared in advance (no special font or effects), it looked like a last minute addition)

[Chorus: Doyoung, Jaehyun] Oh, I promise you, on the day we meet again I will hug you, and more than saying just a single word Even if I cry out of joy This time I will convey my feelings to you Oh, I promise you, on the day we meet again (So stay) I'll smile, and more than saying any words at all (So stay) Just like you showed me, this time I will give you my heart for eternity

[Outro: Doyoung] So, so stay Oh-oh-ooh-ooh So, so stay Oh-oh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Some shippers were worried that Doyoung won't come. Such an idea is nonsence. Regardless of the type of relationships, Doyoung supports all 127 neos. If he can't visit in person, he watches a live in his hotel room (Taeyong) or is the most active in a video message (Yuta). He goes to Dream concerts the most. And in general likes to go to concerts, big stars and small ones he likes.

The "VIP" zone is one of the furthest from the stage, heh. Not so VIP, just close to the exit and secluded. This and Do being filmed by fans sitting nearby reminded me how hard it is for neos to just go to a concert of their friend. They won't have the experience all to themselves and would have to wear masks if they would like to hide their emotions.

Speaking of VIPs. It looks like not only Jae's parents visited him on Day1, but also his granny. And maybe even his English uncle with his aunt? (the whole bottom row)

Johnny left earlier. Doyoung appeared with a mysterious box. Maybe a present for him (or Jae? and he carried it?) from SM staff or someone else from the VIP guests. Liquor would make the most sense, but the box looks too plain for that. In any case, pretty sure JaeDo had dinner together afterwards.

O U R

PART 15 | he’s usually not that much of a loser (written)

☆.｡.:*

The neon lights of the arcade flickered in the distance as Sungho and a newly blonde Jungwon walked toward it from opposite directions. Their plan, hatched the day before, was simple: get Taesan and Y/n to spend time together in a casual setting.

As they approached the entrance, Jungwon noticed Sungho walking briskly ahead of his group. He quickened his pace, catching up to him.

“Hey, Sungho hyung! Fancy seeing you here!” Jungwon called out, waving enthusiastically.

Sungho’s eyes widened in mock surprise. “Wow Jungwon, what a coincidence! We were just about to come here ourselves!”

Behind them, Taesan and Y/n’s groups caught up, exchanging curious glances as they saw the two friends acting overly casual. Taesan meets Y/n eyes and quickly looks away, turning his attention to Jungwon’s bright hair.

Sungho tried to hide his grin. “You know what? Since we’re all here, why don’t we hang out together?”

“Wow, that’s such a good idea! Let’s do it!” Jungwon nods along. Behind him, Sunoo, Riwoo, and Ningning exchange stares with their eyebrows raised. The group enters the arcade, Taesan and Y/n trailing behind their group awkwardly. Before anyone could utter a word, Sungho and Jungwon split the group up and dispersed them to different games.

“Ningning noona and Sunoo hyung, you guys go together!”

“Riwoo and Jaehyun go with them too!” Shoving the four together, Sungho and Jungwon push them into the direction of the skii ball games. 

“Niki and Woonhak you guys go to the dance machines! Have fun.”

“Alright, Leeh-where’d Leehan go?” Looking around, the boy was nowhere to be seen. Sungho and Jungwon turn back to the two left over. Taesan and Y/n stood side by side, equally as awkward and stiff. 

“Oh, Jungwon there’s this claw machine that I need help with!” Sungho exclaims, turning to Jungwon and pointing in a random direction.

“Oh, of course I’ll help you, hyung!” Jungwon exclaims back. 

“You guys have fun!” Jungwon turns to Taesan and Y/n. “Oh look, there’s the basketball games! Go!” 

 Taesan and Y/n just so happen to end up at the basketball game machine after being pushed by Sungho and Jungwon.

The arcade was filled with the sounds of beeping machines and the occasional cheer. Taesan and Y/n stood in front of the basketball game, both awkward and unsure.

“S-so,” Taesan started, trying to break the ice. “I’ve gotten 200 points on this game before. I’m pretty good.”

Y/n raised an eyebrow, trying to hide her curiosity and surprise. “Oh really?”

Taesan stepped up to the game, putting in his tokens with a determined look. As the game started, he shot a few hoops with a mix of enthusiasm and nerves. The points quickly climbed, but not as fast as he had hoped.

As the final buzzer sounded, the score appeared on the screen: 39 points.

Taesan stared at the score, his face flushing red with embarrassment. He tried to laugh it off, rubbing the back of his neck. “Well, that was… not quite 200 points.”

Y/n couldn’t help but smile, her heart warming at his flustered reaction. “Hey, it’s okay. 39 points isn’t too bad. At least you’re having fun.”

Taesan glanced at her, relieved by her kind words and her genuine smile. “T-thanks. I guess I’m more of a spectator than a player.”

They continued to play, the tension easing as they shared laughs and friendly competition. Y/n found herself increasingly charmed by Taesan’s awkward attempts to show off and his genuine personality.

“Okay, he’s usually not that much of a loser.” Riwoo says. The four hid behind a racing game, observing the two.

“I love this new side of Taesan.” Jaehyun comments, pointing his phone in their direction and smiling at the two in the distance.

“So this was Sungho and Jungwon’s plan?” Sunoo asks, more to himself.

“Y/n looks so cute!” Ningning exclaims, gushing over the younger girl. Across from them, hiding behind a different racing game, Sungho and Jungwon observe the two together. Jungwon had his phone out, snapping a few pictures here and there. Turning, they make eye contact with the other four across.

Taesan and Y/n exchanged shy glances, their earlier awkwardness replaced by a budding connection. It wasn’t quite the grand romantic gesture, but it was a start. After playing for a while, it was time to leave.

As the group left the arcade, Jungwon and Sungho, walking behind from a distance of Y/n and Taesan, high-fived each other. Their plan had worked better than expected, even if it had been a bit of a mess.

“See? I told you it would work out,” Sungho said with a grin.

“Yeah, yeah,” Jungwon replied, chuckling. “Let’s just hope they don’t notice how bad we were at pretending to run into each other.”

They laughed and walked slower behind, leaving Taesan and Y/n to enjoy their new, slightly awkward but endearing friendship and maybe romance.

“By the way, your acting was horrible.” Ningning says, walking ahead of them.

“Yeah, it was really bad.” Sunoo says, passing them and joining Ningning.

“I’ve seen better.” Riwoo adds.

“Good job!” Jaehyun exclaims, throwing a thumbs up at them. Sungho and Jungwon drop their heads in defeat. They didn’t know acting would be so hard.

“Wait, did we forget something?” Sungho asks, looking at the group. Stopping, they turn around to face him.

“Where’s Niki?”

“Oh my god, we forgot Woonhak!”

“WHERE’S LEEHAN?!”

Can you give us Jen when she actually fired because Jaehyun caught teaching her Hannie calling her mommy, and also Jaehyun caught her multiple times when she talking bad about his wifey?

[5:02pm]

genre: fluff and angst for jen again.

warnings: jen gets fired.

before reading! i know some of you guys are gonna ask if this is the end of my jen the babysitter series and no. it’s not the end. i love writing for jen the babysitter so do not think this is the end because there will be more posts of jen the babysitter and there will be more opportunities for you guys to request for jen the babysitter.

jaehyun had a ten minute break from his meeting online so, he decided to get up and use a bathroom— possibly find you for a quick quickie.

jaehyun begins to roll his white long sleeves up as he stalks out his office. he passes hannies playroom and takes a slight peek in to see jen playing with hannie. he grins softly until hearing what jen had commanded. jaehyun took two steps back and took another peep in the crack.

“..hannie, look at me,” she holds the baby up and follows as the baby tilts its head around. “now say, mama.” jen cooed only for hannie to fuss.

“no no, be a good girl and call me, mama.” jen frowns in an upset way as hannie jumps around. “i think you need a nap, hm, sweet girl?” jen lifts themselves off the ground and turns to see jaehyun.

“oh, my— mr jeong, you scared me.” she gasps, clutching the baby to her chest.

jaehyun clears his throat, slightly kicking the door open. “sorry, jen. i was just, looking for mrs jeong.” he presses his lips into a thin line. “oh, she’s in the laundry room right now.” jaehyun nods and leaves to go find you.

the basement is where he finds you. folding clothes over the machines while dancing to some music that played on your speaker.

“— should i call first? i cant deny— ahh!” you scream after turning around and seeing jaehyun leaning against the door frame just admiring you. “asshole!” you say flapping the folded towel— which caused it to unfold.

“such a cutie.” he squeals while running up to you and swooping you into his arms. “put me down, asshole! i’m mad at you— you scared me!” he sits you on the dryer which was shaking slightly frantically.

“ooohhh— get me off t—this.” jaehyun pushes your hips down more. the vibration sending pleasure onto your clit. “aww,” he mewls in a teasing way. “but isn’t this fun?” you whine, pushing at his hands and attempting to slide off.

“not happening, gorgeous.” he smirks, softly chuckling at your squirming figure.

“look, i have,” he looks down at his watch and then back up at you. “about six minutes to make you cum. let’s spend it wisely.” he pushes your upper body up and yanks on your shorts.

your body shakes and jerks forward when jaehyun slips his two slender fingers into your pussy. a moan is earned from you as the shaking vibration and his fingers moving inside you causes a painful pleasure.

“let’s talk, yeah?” he asks with his fingers buried inside you. you nod which he tuts at. “say yes, baby.” you mewl, tossing your head back. “y—yes!” you grunt out, attempting to hold your legs open.

“good girl,” he says, rubbing your clit with his thumb. “god— asshole.” you whimper, arms wobbling.

“i seriously think we need to fire jen.” you groan. the mention of another womens name in bed just brought discomfort. “jae, i r—really don’t wanna t—talk about another women while w—we’re, we’re doing th—this.” you shake out.

“no, baby. listen. we need to fire her.” you sigh, scrunching up your face. “w—why?” you question, closing your legs on jaehyuns arms. “she was telling hannie to call her mama.”

you lift your eyes up to him quickly. “she what—?!” you couldn’t even finish your sentence until your orgasm interrupted you.

“f—fuck,” you shivered, moaning desperately and attempting to control your shaking legs. “god,” you gasp, grabbing jaehyuns arm and digging your nails into his arm.

jaehyun grins, pulling his fingers out and splitting them to see your strings of cum. jaehyun holds his eye contact with you as he plops his fingers in his mouth with a groan. your sweet juice taking over his tastebuds.

you let out a shaky breath. “s—she’s fired.” you huff out. “yes, she is.” he licks his fingers clean before placing a passionate kiss on your lips. “i’ve got about thirty seconds to get back to my meeting so, i love you and we’ll fire jen later.” he says before pressing another kiss on your lips and leaving.

all that ran through your mind was what jaehyun had told you.

“she was telling hannie to call her mama.”

you slammed the blade onto the zucchini causing it to collapse into two. “mrs jeong, are you alright?” jen places a hand on your shoulder making you jump.

“jen,” you heave, placing the knife down on the cutting board. “mrs jeong, is something on your mind?” you suck your cheeks in.

“jen,” you turn around. “you’re fired.”

“what?!”

hannie giggles from the dining room as she kicks her feet around and flings her sippy cup off her tray. “bye bye,” you hear hannie say with a giggle following.

love, cafe

part one.

pairing: jaehyun x reader.

genre: suggestive, fluff? smut?

content: college au, friends to lovers, reader works in a café, jaehyun's kinda fuckboy.

“shit,” you muttered when you saw the big stain of coffee in your apron.

“everything's fine?” ask one of your colleagues, sneaking through your shoulder. “yeah, it's this stupid machine,” you answered, annoyed. “how does it look?” you asked for a little encouragement. “it matches your eyes,” she respond, jokingly. you let out a whimp. “don't be sulky about it. i'll cover your shift,” said. “i mean, it's the least i can do after you arranged a date for me with that hot classmate of yours,” added, “i thing he's going to ask me for a date.” a flirtatious back-and-forth move made you giggle. you smiled, pleased. “i'm happy you liked it,” answered. it was not hard at all.

you and yuno get along with each other. you and him are in same career at college. meeting at lunch at twelve o'clock, and found each other in the library late at night. he also frequented the cafe, mad late. ordering the same thing, always: an almond croissant with caramel latte. with a massive book open, and a laptop, in instance glaring to his phone, as he was waiting for someone to call him, but never comes. then he leave, at midnight, because he loose track of time and never leave when he should.

when you heard one of the pastry chef calling for an order of a almond croissant and a caramel latte, you know it's for him. but your apron is dirty with coffee stains and your hair is probably a mess after fervently carving the pot with butter cream in the sink, so you just decided to stay in the kitchen and help the pastry chef with his orders.

you ended up advancing notes for tomorrow's class on one of the tables, because it's monday night and the cafe doesn't get too much clients late at night on mondays. and later that night, your shift finish. there's no one at the cafe, and your colleague left a couple minutes ago, leaving you her task to closed the store, staying a little longer as you finished your essay. you're were tired that you didn't even change your working clothes and leave the cafe straight away with your stained apron, dreaming about binge a serie after a warm bath.

your thoughts stopped abruptly, along with your steps when your eyes met his figure, his gaze captured your eyes at last second, leaving you speechless. “yn.” “what...?” areyoudoinghere. “you always go home this late?” he asked, glaring inside the cafe. you almost nodded.

“yuno,” called him, not expecting him to be there. his deep gaze landed on you, and you couldn't not shiver. “you scared me for a moment,” confessed, laughing nervously. he seemed to catch the question dancing in your lips, when he said “i wanted to make sure you were ok.” frowning “you didn't came out with the others.”

“i was supposed to close the store,” you said, waking pass him. “wait... the others,” you repeated. “danho. what happened?” you asked, “your date,” added, stopping your walk and turning to face him. he was following you all along. his feet stopped a few meters away from you. his height towering you, as you tilted your head a little. “she felt sick all of a sudden, so she went home,” answered.

“then, why you're here?” you asked, confused.

“i was waiting, for you”.

you sighed, feeling bitter as you fell into realization of the rumors. they were always true. as much as you wished they weren't. you didn't want to believe that the guy you met at lunch in the library and it was nice to you was actually a heart hunter, that could never be satisfied.

“so your date went home and now you're waiting for me,” you scoffed.

“yn...”

“stop,” you said, your hands covered your face as a mechanism for escape from his eyes. “don't.”

“i...”

“why you always do that?” you asked, catching him out of guard. “you chase, you use, you dump,” you looked at him. “as if people are desechable to you, as if you don't care they have feelings you could break.” the rumors, the bloody rumors through the campus. you didn't wanted to believe them. the whispers in the corridors, the rumors about jung yoonoh. about his dates. his conquests, his endless list of broken hearts. were you, the next victim?

“i'm not doing this, yuno,” you finally said, faced him. determined. but in the inside fearing he could hear your heart breaking.

you felt his touch in your hand, soft. almost noticeable. and when you looked at him, he hesitated as he wasn't sure what to do, or say. “i do care,” he whispered. “i care because you care,” added, making you look at him with confusion. “that's why i told her...” the dark haired boy stared at you, mesmerized. “i told her i couldn't take her out on a date, because i want to go on a date with you, if you let me.”

“i come here because of you. and i go to the library at noon because i know you go at that hour. i do everything to please you,” he confess. “even taking out someone to a date because you ask me to”. you bite your lips. you could feel bad for making him doing all those things he didn't wanted to do, but his voice was full of tender, and his body was very close to yours, that without warning, your foreheads found each other. your eyes closed to the touch. an electric shock shot down your limbs. his thumb rubbing your hand, slowly.

“you're always on my mind, it's almost ridiculous,” murmured, so low, almost imperceptible. a soft laugh vibrating in his throat. “you're killing me. tell me something, even if it's just to hate me,” he asked, with a low voice.

you put a hand in his chest to create distance between you and him, tilting your head up, looking for his eyes, already founding yours.

you could say sorry. you could say that little deep inside you wanted to change place with danho, because yohno seemed to like her more than he likes you. but instead, your hand went to his cheek, brushing it, softly. and his eyes seemed to melt when he looked at you. those horrible things people said behind his back, they couldn't be true. not when all you can saw in his eyes it's the bright of a million fireworks burning inside. and you didn't mind burning in them.

your lips captured the dark haired boy in a furious kiss. full of emotions. full of something that you couldn't label, but was so beautiful, so indescribable, incomprehensible, that you let it burn everything, you let it spread all over your senses, floating, dying. everything could collapse, it could destroy everything, after all, now it belonged to him, the way he belonged to you. his heart, beating under your palm, warm, fast, alive. and your all self, melting at his touch. is this how everyone felt about him? the way that you could give him your heart, knowing he was gonna break it? and not caring at all?

you gasp for air, feeling the palpable adrenaline between your bodies. what did it feel a lifetime if only a few minutes had passed?.

“it's mad late,” you remembered, “we have class tomorrow morning.”

“mhmm...” he mumbled, “should we go home then?” he suggested, but when you looked at him, with a smile dancing in his lips, you knew it wasn't your home he was referring to.

“should we?”

correct me any grammar or misspelled, it's midnight, i'm writing with an eye open bc this thing it's been on my mind it's almost crazy. enjoy.

Hi hi! I hope you’re doing fine :) can I request Jaehyun w/ the prompts 20. hand holding, 16. and 20. hugs, 38. kisses pls! You can ignore this but I kinda thought of an au about reader waking up from coma based on the prompts I chose. It’s up to you tho if you don’t fee like doing it, it’s totally fine!

Have a great day! <3

used your plot anon~ hope u like it!!!

hand-holding, 20: pressing the other’s hand against their cheek

hugs, 16: ‘not wanting to let go’ hugs

kisses, 38: relieved kisses

in the dead of the night, all jaehyun is used to was the incessant beeping of the monitor, the whites of the hospital walls and the harsh, antiseptic smell of the place. with bread squished in his mouth, he tiredly eyes your motionless figure on the bed before looking at the clock. he barely makes it out to be 4am, the sun of seoul already making its early rise as usual.

each morning, he’s had the opportunity to see the rays dance across your face, painting your features in such gentle light that he was certain it was elixir for a miracle. only this time, it seemed like his prayers were answered. your eyes flutter open and jaehyun is up in a second, sleepiness gone and legs awake again. his throat is hoarse from the lack of use as he shouts out doctor, doctor! and no one answers him in the wee hours of the morning that he gets impatient.

“fuck- shit, sorry,” bumping into a nurse, she asks him to articulate his blur of words, only getting the memo when he gestures with a thumb to you coming to your senses. she’s off in a second to retrieve the doctor who arrives a minute later with no time to waste and a skip in his step. even the doctor is happy for your recovery.

nothing compares to jaehyun though, who chews his pathetic breakfast through tears as question after question is directed to you. his heart is leaping for joy, going through each night of unanswered questions of whether you’ll be okay, whether you’ll still love him, whether you’ll push him away. jaehyun is shaking from emotion, accepting the nurses’ comfort with more choked up tears. you answer every question to the best of your ability, but all you can focus on is your lover at the far end of the room, stubbornly giving you space.

at once, all your dreams when you were unconscious made sense, where your soul had conjured up visions in desperation of jaehyun whispering to you of endless promises from an amusement part date to getting you that promise ring while letting him do the driving from now on. through your replies, you let out a laugh which the doctor picks up on, concluding the interrogation for now. with an awkward shuffle to everyone’s feet, you’re finally alone.

“hi.” is all jaehyun can say, suddenly at a loss for words now that the love of his life was awake, pupils blown wide and mouth muttering sentences. he walks over to you with cautious steps and a hovering palm. “you’re really awake, aren’t you?”

your eyes soften at his question, heart breaking just a little at how used he’s probably become to your unconscious state. your skin is cold to the touch, but that doesn’t deter jaehyun’s warm, full-of-life hand from making its home on your face with a bit of prompting from you. each night he’s met with silence, he’s met with the wheels of the blood pressure machine, but with each growth of your smile, your cheek fills up more and more of his hand as your warmth returns.

tighter and tighter you hold onto the back of his hand and wider and wider does your grin go, swimming in elation that you fail to notice tears brimming at the edge of your eyes. you pass it off as happy tears, leaking more as jaehyun leans down to bump his forehead with yours.

“you’re really back. oh my god,” jaehyun laughs, eyes crinkling into crescent moons. you can feel his hot breath on your lips and you’re begging with everything and nothing at the same time, a little weak in body but craving in spirit. the other knows you like the back of his hand and meets your lips softly, taking your fragility into account. you can feel salt on your lips, but can hardly care when his hand brushes away your hair gently, trembling against your skin in disbelief. his mouth moves on yours in a way that’s long overdue, and he can’t help but sob more that’s interrupted by your teasing smile and cooing voice.

“baby, breathe,” you mumble, pulling away from the kiss for him to mutter something incomprehensible. all you can think of now is to smother him with love, where your arms go around his broad shoulders and his go around your smaller ones, to soak up his tears with the cheap hospital gown and to sew up his heart that he cut open in hopes that it would make him feel something while you were gone.

jaehyun trained harder, criticised his singing more. well, the self-destructive cycle was gone now with you back again, cradling him so firmly and affectionately he’s convinced you were the one deprived of touch.

in a way, it’s true. with two lonely hearts reunited again, finally, jaehyun made sure to never break them up ever again.

Chenle - Can't find a significant other that isn't Park Jisung / Keeping Haechan away from Daegal is a full time job

Mark - Pure church boy, took a vow of celibacy and no matter how much Haechan teases him, he will not back down / Can not speak to females unless needed to and even then, he is redder than a tomato

YangYang - Flirts with everything that walks but only in the form of knock knock jokes / Says Ten has to be present on all first dates just incase they need to make a getaway

Haechan - Too busy being obsessed with making fun of Mark and no one will meet up to his standards: Moon Taeil / Is in a committed relationship with Daegal Zhong

Hendery - Games for 24 hours a day / Owns a time machine

Jungwoo - Only needs cuddles to survive, cuddles are more important than sex will ever be to him / Also only needs one person in his life, Mark Lee

Lucas - 50/50 could be a virgin based on the fact that he WILLINGLY wanted to perform Chewing Gum and I think that says alot / Maybe not a virgin because he's over 5'11
