Desi Wedding- Haknyeon

Inspired by and for. @sugarcherriess​ asterisked bullets are directly inspired from our dms <3 ​

Haknyeon at a Desi wedding:

When he enters the venue, his eyes are wide and shining, in awe of all the decorations and the shandash (grand) wedding

When your dupatta (shawl) falls off your shoulder, he fixes it immediately, a small smile on his face as he brushes your bare skin

Everyone comments on the matching outfits you guys are wearing, you wearing a jaw-dropping lehenga that matches his kurta. His kurta is rolled up, just enough so you can see his forearms and something about the outfit has him exuding confidence.*

He’s constantly playing with your fingers, admiring the mehendi (henna), and pointing out how his initials would fit great in certain spots 

As any desi wedding has, there are flower petals littering absolutely anything and it’s his favorite thing to pick them up and smell them, even tucking the most fragrant ones in your hair*

Asking you to feed him. Mithai (sweets), and the actual food itself. His eyes have that familiar glint in it like he knows he can feed himself but he likes the feeling he gets when you smile sweetly at him and place food into his mouth*

He would gladly do a dance routine with you, going all out and making it very clear that your duo had the best choreography 

Humming along to all the songs that he’s heard you play before

Making everyone laugh–the aunties, the moms, the children, the fathers, the grandparents, EVERYONE. 

Pictures. So many pictures. He’s taking them of you, you’re taking them of him, guests are taking them of the two of you together. 

Whispering in your ear claiming how he could see all of this for the two of you and what he would do when it’s your turn to get married to him

And he cries. He claims it’s allergies but in his head, he’s thinking about how lucky he is to experience new culture with someone he loves so deeply. 

And he’s already planning how to propose so he can have a wedding of his own.

what it takes to make a villain masterlist

“P-Please… have mercy. You were Eclipse, the protector of mankind!” The police chief on the ground pleads, battered and bruised from the villain’s endless beatings. Icarus remains silent, no remorse or forgiveness in his gaze as he stares down at the man coldly.

“Please—”

“You say this now, but you still tried to shoot me that day.” Icarus states, and the man slowly closes his mouth.

Haknyeon once saw the beauty in the world, believing that good can overcome evil, that he can help prevent the corruption of society. 

He was wrong. 

Haknyeon was the superhero that the world relied on, Eclipse. The most powerful being known to man, capable of flight, telekinesis, telepathy, and magic. He believed in fighting for the people, for the greater good. Even when he was in a brawl against someone who tried to pursue their own selfish needs, he still tried to see the good in them. 

He was taken advantage of, spat on, lied to, and almost killed. Even after everything he did for mankind, people still wanted more, they always wanted him to do more, and he always did just that. No matter how life-threatening, dangerous, or painful it was, he always came and saved the day. 

Haknyeon was selfless, and the world knew that. 

But the one time Haknyeon wanted to be selfish, he paid the worst price imaginable. And now? 

“Eclipse… please—” Haknyeon’s eyes glow a deep red as he raises his hand up towards the chief’s face. He lets out a dark laugh, a tingle of excitement travelling down his spine at the fear in his eyes. “There is no more Eclipse to protect you.” 

Haknyeon is known as Icarus, the darkest villain the world has come to know. 

three years before

“You are very lucky to have survived the fire in the building.” The news reporter says, holding out the microphone towards the woman. 

She lets out a small smile, “Eclipse saved my life, I’m forever indebted to him.” 

“Ah…” The reporter trails off at the mention of him, snapping out of their previous thought as they nod their head at the woman. “Of course, what would we do without Eclipse, hm?” 

Haknyeon watches his television, lips pressed together in a thin line, when suddenly the screen turns black. He opens his mouth in protest, only to stop when he locks eyes with a stern looking Hyunjun. 

“What did I tell you about watching the news?” Hyunjun asks as he places the remote down onto the coffee table, and Haknyeon rests his head in his hands as he awaits for his friend to start scolding him. 

“Don’t watch it.”

“And what were you doing?” 

Haknyeon just sighs, looking down at the floor as he mumbles, “Watching television.” 

Hyunjun stares at the superhero, hating that he has to act like the mom friend, but knowing that it’s hard on Haknyeon whenever he watches the news. Even after everything his friend has done for the world, all of the sacrifices he’s made, the pain he’s been put through, society never thanks him. 

Tabloids call him an alien who will bring doom to us all, news outlets say he’s a danger to the world and that humans shouldn’t be so accepting of him, social media attempts to find his true identity, and others try to find the superhero’s weakness. 

But Haknyeon still smiles brightly and saves the day whenever he’s needed. 

Hyunjun purses his lips, gently patting the brunette’s head, causing him to look up. He smiles softly, “Come on, let’s go buy groceries.” 

Haknyeon just nods his head, standing up from the couch and putting a bucket hat over his fluffy hair. He follows after his friend, but the thought of the reporter’s grimace when the victim mentioned his name lingers in his brain. 

“We need green onions.” Haknyeon says as he stares down at the grocery list. Since Hyunjun and him typically hate going to the grocery, they made it a routine to split up and grab whatever they need on their halves of the store. 

It’s lessened their time spent at the grocery store by at least 15 minutes. Hyunjun swears that it’s an hour, but Haknyeon knows that it is quite literally 15 minutes. 

The brunette grabs the best looking green onions in the produce section and places it into the bag, putting it into his basket as he walks over towards the fruits. When he’s about to throw a bag of cuties into the basket, the sound of shouting coming from the front of the store captures his attention. 

He glances around, seeing that no one else is able to hear the commotion since they’re so far from the entrance. Letting out a breath, he calmly walks over towards the direction of the shouting, trying to blend into the crowd to the best of his ability. 

Once he makes it to the entrance, he squints his eyes when he sees an unruly customer yelling at you, the poor cashier who was just trying to do their job. 

“I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t do anything about your card being declined. Do you have another form of payment that you can use?” You suggest, even giving him a small smile to try and appease him, but you watch as a vein almost pops out of his forehead in anger from your words. 

“Are you looking down on me right now? Do you really think I believe that my card was declined?” You bite the inside of your cheek when you watch the man lean closer to you, and you feel an inkling of fear flood your system when your eyes trail down to see his hand clenching into a fist. 

“Sir, I’m so sorry, that wasn’t my intention—”

“Shut up.” The man hisses, and you flinch back when you see him raise his fist, only to feel nothing at all. You slowly open your eyes to find a guy around your age holding back the older man’s fist. 

“Who the fuck are you?” The angry customer spits out, and the guy just shrugs his shoulders, looking like the epitome of ease as the older man struggles against his hold. “What the fuck? Let go of me!”

“I’ll let you go when we leave the store.” He responds, before dragging him out of the store. You just stand there in shock as you watch the man struggle, but the younger guy just pulls him out with no signs of fatigue. 

You blink, still trying to muster up your thoughts as you stare out the automatic doors, wondering if he’s okay.

Your attention is grabbed when you hear a sigh come from beside you, and you turn your head to see another guy around your age staring out the door as well, looking unsurprised. “Can’t take Haknyeon anywhere.” 

You raise an eyebrow as you start ringing up the pretty man’s items, wondering who he must be talking about when the younger guy walks back in. You stare at him as you blindly scan the items, watching him walk up to your register as he gives you a smile. 

“Are you okay? He didn’t hurt you, right?” He asks, only to let out a whine when the guy you were ringing up slaps his shoulder. “Hyunjun!”

“Haknyeon, did you not finish your side of the list?” The man named Hyunjun asks, and you watch as Haknyeon looks down at his shoes, the memory of the basket he just left by the section of tangerines coming to mind. 

Hyunjun sighs, shaking his head as he pulls out his credit card to pay. You give him a small smile, finishing the transaction by handing him his receipt. He grins at you, before turning towards Haknyeon and gesturing over towards the produce aisle. 

“Go finish your half of the groceries, I’m gonna go buy us drinks.” Hyunjun tells the brunette, who just nods his head. You watch as the pretty man walks out the doors, leaving you and Haknyeon alone. 

“Thank you for helping me.” You say quietly, and he gives you a bright smile that makes your cheeks flood with warmth. 

“Of course! I was worried he was going to hit you, but he shouldn’t be bothering you anymore.” You nod your head, and he bids you goodbye before walking off. Biting the inside of your cheek, you turn back towards the register to see another customer putting their items onto the conveyor belt, and you let out a breath. 

Unbeknownst to you, Haknyeon is standing close by, only leaving to the produce section when he sees the pretty smile grace your features again as you converse with the elderly customer. 

“Give up.” Haknyeon hisses at the man below him, holding him down to the ground. The man chuckles darkly, “Never.”

The superhero feels himself getting thrown towards the wall, only managing to stop himself right before he slams onto the surface. He shoots a death glare towards the man through his mask, breathing heavily as he throws the garbage can in the guy’s direction. 

Haknyeon was having a lovely day before this. He was inside his shared apartment with Hyunjun, eating cereal and talking about coding since the latter has developed a deep interest in the subject. He even watched Hyunjun code a bit for a video game his friend was creating, that was until the sound of an emergency alert was heard from their television. 

Hyunjun didn’t even get the chance to tell Haknyeon to come home safely because his best friend was already out of the apartment and flying through the air. 

And now here Haknyeon is, fighting a villain from outer space that had heard of the powerful hero defending Earth and its inhabitants instead of enjoying his cereal like he wanted to. 

The reason the villain came to Earth? To defeat Eclipse.

Haknyeon isn’t using all of his strength, he still has yet to use all of his power when fighting against villains. He’s never killed anyone, and he doesn’t ever want to, and the man must know this, as he’s trying to provoke the hero to the best of his abilities. 

“You’re weak. How come everyone is talking about you as if you’re some God?” The man asks with a dry laugh, and Haknyeon just clenches his jaw. Without hesitation, he knocks his opponent out with a single punch, watching as he slumps to the ground. 

Haknyeon lets out a breath, resting his hands on his knees as he stares at the villain below him. Pursing his lips, he drags the unconscious man towards the ship that he arrived in and throws him into the seat, binding him to it. He quickly types in the coordinates of the planet that handles those who try to cause destruction to other inhabited planets, before pressing start and stepping off the ship. 

He watches as it departs from the street and flies up into the sky until it’s out of sight, and he sighs. Glancing around at his surroundings, he takes in some of the damage to the convenience stores and cars, and he winces when one of the car alarms starts to blare. 

“At least the damage isn’t as bad as last time.” Haknyeon mutters to himself, looking up at the sky when he starts to hear the cheers from those who live in the apartment complexes that line the street. He smiles softly behind his mask, feeling a sense of relief from the fact that no one was harmed as he looks at the people shouting his alias outside of their windows.

“Thank you, Eclipse!”

Haknyeon does a full bow, before standing back up at his height and flying into the sky, now out of sight from the citizens. He stares down at the city lights beneath him as he flies through the clouds, worried about what they’re possibly going to say about him in the news outlets tomorrow morning. 

“Ah, Hyunjun wouldn’t want me to think like this.” Haknyeon says, but the thoughts still flood his mind the closer he gets to their apartment building. Biting the inside of his cheek, he slowly descends to the top of a different building, deciding that he should stay out and clear his thoughts before going home. 

Haknyeon snaps his fingers so that his Eclipse outfit changes into his normal clothes and walks over to the ledge, sitting down so that his legs dangle off the edge. He remembers when he first got his powers, how each of them awakened, and how afraid he was when he was younger. However, the ability to help those who needed it was able to soothe those fears he had felt. 

Except new fears have developed with each article, each press conference discussing whether or not his intentions are good, the growing number of those who want to find out his true identity and his weaknesses. 

Haknyeon’s afraid.

All he’s done is try to help people, everything he does is for the greater good, but the media makes him out to be a villain. He’s constantly in fear of people finding out about Hyunjun, or discovering who he is behind the mask. 

“Is this really what I want to do?” Haknyeon asks himself quietly, having finally spoken the question he’s been wondering for months now. 

“Haknyeon?” The brunette’s eyes widen at the voice, and he turns his head to find you standing by the door, eyebrows furrowed as you stare at him. His jaw drops, recognition appearing across his features when the memory of your first meeting pops into his mind. 

“Grocery store person!” Haknyeon exclaims, and you cringe at the nickname he’s given you as you walk over so that you’re standing beside him. He chuckles softly at the grimace on your face, “Sorry, I just never got your name that day.” 

You shrug your shoulders, climbing onto the ledge and sitting down next to him. You let out a content sigh, looking out at the apartment building across from you, “My name is yn.” 

Haknyeon nods his head, before he frowns, “How did you know my name?” 

“Your friend said it when you threw out that unruly customer. Thank you again for that, by the way. I thought he was gonna hit me.” You say, and the brunette waves his hand at you as if to say, “No biggie.” 

The two of you turn back towards the view, and you let out another sigh, the smallest of smiles on your faces as you take in the night sky. Haknyeon glances at you, “So, yn, what are you doing up on the roof at 10 pm?” 

You chuckle at the question, looking around at your surroundings as you try to think of your answer. Haknyeon watches as your eyes wander around, taking notice of the sparkle to them when you finally turn towards him with a smile on your face. 

“I like coming up here at night, looking out at the city and the stars brings me a lot of peace. The emergency broadcast system gave us the thumbs up to go outside again since Eclipse defeated that villain, so I came up here.” You explain, and Haknyeon bites the inside of his cheek at the mention of his alias. A thought comes to mind, and he knows Hyunjun would never let him ask this question, but he’s curious about what you think. 

“Mm, what do you think of that guy?” Haknyeon asks, trying his best to keep his voice from wavering. You glance at him with an indecipherable expression on your face, and he already regrets asking the question. 

He knows what’s coming. You’re gonna ridicule him, say that he’s a menace like what the news outlets report about him. He doesn’t understand why he asked you, he should’ve listened to what Hyunjun told him before. He should’ve never asked—

“I think Eclipse is misunderstood.” You answer with a slight furrow to your brow, and Haknyeon pauses, looking at you with a shocked expression on his face. Pursing your lips, you recall what all the news outlets say about the hero, how they misconstrue everything he does and make him out to look like the villain. 

“He’s done nothing but protect us from all the bad in the world, which he isn’t even obligated to do. Us humans are the ones that fuck shit up and he comes to save us from our own demise, yet the news outlets make him out to be like some alien that’s gonna destroy us all.” You rant, and Haknyeon swallows the lump in his throat. Rubbing the back of your neck, you suck in a deep breath to calm down. 

“I just, I just think that Eclipse is so good. He is so inherently good, too good for the world. We should be able to thank him for saving the day and risking his life without much else, but we always want more, and that’s our problem. He’s saved mankind, how many times? I can’t even count it on my fingers, but everyone’s such an ass to him. I just think he deserves better.” You finish, glancing at Haknyeon right as a tear falls from his left eye. Your jaw drops at the sight, and he quickly moves to wipe it away, but you’re already reaching out and cupping his face in your hands. 

“Why are you crying? Are you okay?” You ask in worry, and the brunette just stares at you in a stunned silence. 

No one but Hyunjun has comforted him or shown that they cared.

You wipe away the tears that fall from his eyes with the pads of your thumbs, worry etched across your features as more tears continue to flow out. Jutting your bottom lip out, you rest your hand on the back of Haknyeon’s head and pull him forward until his forehead rests on your shoulder. 

“It’ll be okay, don’t worry.” You say softly, patting his back as his slow tears turn into sobs. 

You don’t know Haknyeon, and Haknyeon doesn’t know you. But underneath the night sky, you offer comfort to the complete stranger as if you’ve known him for years. 

And it gives Haknyeon a sliver of hope.

“Hyunjun, I’m going out to see yn!” Haknyeon calls out as he rests his hand on the doorknob, a smile gracing his features when he hears his best friend telling him to be safe through a mouthful of food. He steps out of the apartment and closes the door behind him, walking down the hallway with a small skip to his step. 

Since the night you had comforted Haknyeon a couple weeks ago, the two of you exchanged numbers and quickly became friends. Almost texting each other everyday, and even creating a groupchat with Hyunjun, you easily made your way into Haknyeon’s life. 

Now here Haknyeon is, on his way to meet you for the day the two of you planned. It’s your day off and you just finished your classes, while Haknyeon was just sitting at home, so you decided to meet in the middle. 

“Haknyeon!” You shout through the crowd of people, making the brunette look up in your direction, a bright smile forming on his face when he sees you wave at him excitedly. He quickly walks over to you, and you reach out and hook your arm with his so that you won’t lose him in the mass of people. 

“Why is it so busy today?” Haknyeon asks as the two of you begin to walk towards the pho restaurant you wanted to try. You shrug your shoulders, looking around the park to see if there might be an event going on. You squint when your eyes catch onto a sign, and your mouth forms an ‘o’ shape. 

“There’s a mini carnival going on!” You exclaim, pulling him towards the sign so that you both can read it. Turning your head, you watch as his eyes widen with wonder, and you grin at the sight. 

“You wanna go play some carnival games before we go get food? It’ll be fun!” Haknyeon almost immediately nods his head at your offer, and you squeal in excitement. The two of you quickly make your way into the park, and Haknyeon watches as your features brighten when you see the numerous game booths to play from. 

“Oh! Haknyeon, they have pig plushies we can win.” You point out, letting out a loud laugh when he does a quick u-turn and pulls you over to the game stand without a second thought. 

When the two of you make it to the booth, you point towards the biggest pig plushie and ask the employee how to win it. As they begin to explain, you glance at Haknyeon to see him listening very intently to the instructions, making you bite your lip from bursting into laughter. 

“Okay, are you ready to win the pig?” You ask, and the brunette nods with a determined look on his face. Handing him the rings for the bottles, you smile excitedly, “Win that pig!” 

While cheering for Haknyeon as he tosses the rings, he has to bite his lip to stop from grinning like a fool at how happy he feels, even if he’s completely missing the bottles. 

Yeah, he has telekinesis, but he’s not going to use it unless absolutely necessary.

“Ah, you didn’t win the big pig. However, you did win the medium sized one!” The employee says, and you raise your arms up in victory when they hand the burnette the cute pig plushie. Haknyeon grins, bowing his head in thanks before turning to you with a chuckle. 

“What are you gonna name them?” You ask as the two of you move to the next booth, cooing at the cute pig as you walk. Haknyeon thinks to himself for a moment, watching the way the sunlight illuminates your features, making you shine even brighter than you usually do. 

He smiles softly, turning back towards the pig plushie as a name finally comes to mind. “Sunny. I’ll name them Sunny.” 

“Why not Sunshine?” You ask, genuine curiosity displayed over your face as you look at the brunette. He lets out a warm smile, nudging you with his shoulder shyly as he quietly answers, “Because that’s your nickname.”

You stare at him in silence for a moment, warmth slowly flooding your cheeks as the genuineness to his statement. Turning away, you nudge his shoulder out of shyness, eliciting a giggle out of him as he promptly changes the subject. 

The two of you make your way up to the booth with the darts game. He takes note of the way your eyes sparkle when you see the large panda plushie, watching intently when you turn to the employee and ask how many balloons you need to pop to get the panda. 

“You’ll have to pop all ten balloons to get the large panda plushie.” You nod your head, looking determined when he hands you the ten darts. Glancing back at Haknyeon, he raises his fists up and smiles at you, “Fighting!” 

You grin, turning back towards the balloons as you pick up the dart from the table. Haknyeon’s eyes shine as he stares at the dart, flicking it towards the balloon as soon as it leaves your hand. You let out a squeal when the balloon pops, surprised that you were able to do it before picking up another one.

Poking your tongue past your lips, you carefully aim the dart and throw it towards the balloon, smiling in excitement when it hits another balloon. You turn towards Haknyeon, who claps his hands for you, making you chuckle as you grab another dart. 

When all ten darts pop a balloon, you walk away happily while holding the large panda plushie in both of your arms. Haknyeon listens intently as you go off on a tangent about how you never expected to have hit ten balloons, saying “I honestly just left it up to God, and suddenly I discover I have a talent for dart throwing? This is amazing!” 

While Haknyeon just smiles softly to himself, feeling content just from the sight of the pure joy radiating off your features as you hug the panda close to your chest.

Yes, Haknyeon thought that using his telekinesis was absolutely necessary to see you happy.

“You’ve been a lot happier recently.” Hyunjun points out while he and Haknyeon eat their lunch. The brunette glances up at his best friend, seeing him pointing at him with his chopsticks. 

Haknyeon chuckles, “I have been.” 

Hyunjun grins, taking a piece of kimbap and placing it in his mouth as he stares at his friend across from him. The dullness to Haknyeon’s eyes have faded, now bright and full of excitement like when he had first met the superhero. 

“Do you like yn? It seems like you guys are already a couple, to be honest.” Hyunjun asks, and Haknyeon purses his lips at the question, making the black haired beauty raise an eyebrow in interest. “I guess we do, huh?”

When Haknyeon was losing hope in mankind, he met you, the epitome of all that is good in the world. You’re kind, generous, selfless, if there was a person with all the admirable traits, then it would be you. You reminded him that people do care, that the work he does isn’t in vain even if you didn’t know it. 

You gave him hope. 

Haknyeon smiles softly, opening his mouth to respond when the sound of his phone beeping calls his attention. Placing the chopsticks down, he picks up his phone to see what the disturbance is, frowning when he reads the message.

“What is it?” 

“Bank robbery, they’re holding people hostage. I have to go.” Haknyeon mutters in a hurry, already standing up from the table and heading towards the balcony, his civilian clothes turning into his suit by the time he pushes open the doors.

“Be safe!” Hyunjun shouts out, feeling more worried than usual when he sees the brunette fly off into the sky. Biting his bottom lip, he walks over into the living room and grabs the remote, turning on the TV to the news channel. 

You sit in the corner of the room, holding your knees to your chest as you stare down at the floor. You try to clench your fists to make your hands stop shaking, but to no avail. 

“Just sit there tightly, no one will be leaving until we get that money.” 

You hear a sniffle come from beside you, and you turn your head to find a woman sitting next to you, silent tears falling from her eyes as she looks at the floor. Biting the inside of your cheek, with your shaky hand you reach out and rest it over hers. She slowly glances up at you, and you give her a weak smile, “We’ll be okay.” 

She nods her head, returning your smile as she turns her focus back to the floor. The two of you continue to hold hands, trying to offer comfort to each other even though you’re in a tragic situation. 

You just wanted to go to the bank to make a deposit, it was supposed to be a quick transaction. You never expected to enter right when a robbery was about to occur, but with your horrid luck, that’s exactly how you ended up being held hostage with ten other people. 

“Just hurry up and get them to unlock the safe, the cops are gonna be here soon.” The leader commands, growing more agitated by the minute. 

“Sir, what if Eclipse comes?” Your head pops up at the mention of the superhero, watching as the leader simply glares at the guy who asked the question. He reaches out and slaps the back of his head, “That guy isn’t going to come and stop a goddamn bank robbery, he deals with alien shit.” 

“I actually just deal with pieces of shit, alien or human.” A voice cuts in, and everyone turns to see Eclipse standing there in all of his glory. The leader’s mouth drops open, and before he can shout out a command, Eclipse is already moving to disarm all of his men. 

You and the woman flinch back at the sounds of screaming, keeping a close eye out for a chance to escape when suddenly you catch sight of the leader staring at the woman sitting beside you. His eyes are ablaze with anger as he walks over to you and the other hostage, Eclipse being too busy fighting the other men to notice this.

“You.” He snarls, reaching out and grabbing the woman’s arm, making her scream. Your eyes widen in panic, and without thinking, you stand up and push him away from her, blocking her with your body as you stare him down. 

“Get away from her.” You hiss, feeling the eyes of the other hostages on you as you stand your ground. Your hands shake at your sides, and you turn them into fists, feeling nothing but fear at what could happen to you as you stare at him.

“You’ll work just fine then.” The leader states, and before you can question him, he reaches out and pulls you forward, turning you around so your back is pressed to his front. You start to struggle against his hold, about to scream out when suddenly you feel a cool blade press against your throat, and you feel your blood run cold. 

“Hurt any of my other men and they get killed!” The leader shouts, gaining the superhero’s attention as he turns in your guys’ direction. 

Haknyeon’s heart stops when he sees you clawing at the man’s arm, pure fear in your eyes as you stare at him. Numerous thoughts run through his head, ranging from what the fuck you’re doing here, to the murderous rage he feels when he catches sight of the single tear that falls past your eye. 

“Don’t touch them.” Haknyeon states, glaring at the man behind his mask. The grip around your throat tightens and you let out a cry of protest, watching as the superhero takes a step forward. 

“Just let us get the money, and no one gets hurt.” The leader tries to reason, and Haknyeon clenches his fist at his side. When he attempts to take another step forward, the leader backs the two of you up and presses the blade harder into your neck, making sure that it breaks the skin as you bite back a sob.

Haknyeon loses all sense of his morals as soon as he sees the blood drip from your neck. 

He never tries to use his powers against humans in fear that he may hurt them severely, but right now, at this moment, all he cares about is getting you away from that man. 

Using his telekinesis, the blade falls from the leader’s hand and onto the floor, getting thrown far away into the corner. You watch in wonder as all the weapons the robbers had were thrown against the farthest wall, the sound of bullets and metal clanging to the floor mixed with shouts of protest. 

“What the fuck—”

Within the next minute, the front doors fly open, the FBI and police bursting in with their guns in the air. The arm that was holding you suddenly disappears, and you collapse to the floor, breathing heavily as you try to get a grip on yourself. 

With the shouts of expletives being thrown around from the robbers, and the cries of relief from the hostages, you stay down on the floor. It’s only when a hand rests on your back that you turn your head to see Eclipse kneeling down beside you. You give him a small smile to reassure him that you’re fine, but he just continues to stare at you in silence.

“Eclipse, hands in the air!” You hear, and you turn your head to find the police with their weapons drawn towards him. Your eyes widen in confusion, wondering why they’re acting like he’s the one who held innocent people hostage. 

Haknyeon lets out a breath as he stands up, not surprised at their reactions as he prepares to just teleport somewhere else.

“Eclipse, we’ll shoot! Hands in the air!” He hears, and he just clenches his fist at his side, wondering what he did wrong. Your breath hitches in panic when you see an officer out of the corner of your eye staring at the superhero with his finger about to press the trigger. 

“No!” You scream, standing up from the floor with your arms up in the air, blocking Eclipse from view. Haknyeon’s eyes widen in panic and he reaches out towards you, “YN NO—” 

The loud bang from a gunshot rings around the room right after you hear your name, but it’s soon replaced by the sound of an automatic fan blowing. You open your eyes to find yourself wrapped in a strong pair of arms, no longer inside the bank, but in the middle of Hyunjun and Haknyeon’s apartment. 

Pulling back, you let out a gasp when you see those familiar brown eyes boring into yours. “Haknyeon!?”

“Hi, Sunshine.” Haknyeon murmurs, and before you can question him any further, he slumps forward onto your shoulder. Your eyes widen, reaching out and wrapping your arms around him. Panic floods you when you feel something warm against your hand, and you lift it up, a scream falling past your lips when you see his blood.

“Who the fuck is in my apartment—Yn? Haknyeon?!” You turn your head to find Hyunjun walking over from his room, eyes filled with worry and fear as he helps take hold of Haknyeon. Tears pooling in your eyes as Hyunjun brings the brunette to the kitchen table.

“Yn, clear the table.” Hyunjun commands, and you nod your head, quickly removing the table mats and center pieces from the surface. You help Hyunjun lay Haknyeon onto his stomach, and you bite back a scream when you see the blood soaking the back of his t-shirt. 

“I’m gonna go get my supplies.” You turn to Hyunjun when he walks off, “Are you qualified to take a fucking bullet out of someone?! You’re just about to start your residency!” 

Hyunjun just gives you a serious look, “We can’t take Haknyeon to the hospital, I’m assuming you know that now.” 

Biting your bottom lip, you turn back towards the brunette, tears falling past your eyes as you step over and sit down in the seat scooted into the table. You reach out and grasp his hand, resting your forehead onto the back of it as you close your eyes.

“Please. Please be okay.”

The first time Haknyeon realized he wasn’t like his other friends, he was four.

He was playing in a park with his friends while his mom spoke to the other parents. He was running around the playground when he saw that there was a cat stuck in the tree. Panicking, he tried to get help, but no one paid him any attention. 

He started crying and wishing for the cat to get back onto the ground, covering his face with his hands as he cried loudly for the helpless creature. 

When he opened his eyes, the cat was levitating down onto the grass, as if someone was carrying them onto the ground. 

He told his mother and she didn’t believe him until he lifted a glass of water with his eyes. In turn, his mother passed out from shock.

One by one his powers were revealed to him, and he was told not to tell anyone, to keep to himself in school. It would be safer for him not to have anyone he loved dearly, and for everyone else to not remember him. 

His mother always told him that it would just be them against the universe because he was special, too precious for the world to know about him. And Haknyeon believed every word his mom told him. 

When his mother died by the time he had turned 16, Haknyeon realized it was only him against the world. 

After her death, he became even more closed off than before. He spent lunches alone, did group projects by himself, and lived in isolation in a house that was once a home. That all changed when he went to university and met Hyunjun, the cold, but warm dancer that wanted to get to know the guy that kept to himself. The two quickly became friends, and have been ever since. 

Haknyeon realized he wanted to save the world when he had first rescued Hyunjun from a fire that broke out during his lab, which just so happened to be the time his best friend discovered his powers. 

Hyunjun helped design a costume to protect his identity, and created a system to alert Haknyeon whenever there was an emergency. It all went smoothly at first, with the public wondering who was the hidden figure that was doing a better job than the emergency services, and the brunette being able to help those who needed it. He felt like he was fulfilling his purpose, making the world a better place little by little.

Then aliens from space had learned about the superhero and started infiltrating Earth to attack him. News outlets and gossip channels wanted to expose who he was behind the mask. The special forces wanted to capture and run tests on him. 

Hyunjun stopped turning on the TV whenever Haknyeon was around, and the brunette stopped checking social media as often. 

Haknyeon started losing sight of his purpose, he thought that the world was too far from being saved. He was slowly coming to the conclusion that humans were their own worst enemies, it was an endless spiral of dark thoughts and feelings that consumed him. 

That all stopped when he met you, the person who showed him nothing but kindness and warmth without even knowing him. Whenever Haknyeon heard you laugh or saw your bright smile, he was reminded that there is still good in the world. 

And he promised to protect you, whatever it takes. 

Haknyeon gasps awake, feeling like the room is spinning as he stares up at the white ceiling, breathing heavily. Moving to sit up, he lets out a groan when he registers a slight pain in his back, and he reaches back, feeling a large bandage beneath his shirt. Biting his bottom lip, he finally manages to sit up, remembering everything that led up to this moment. 

“Damn, getting shot hurts.” Haknyeon mumbles to himself, only to jump up slightly when he hears a loud gasp come from the doorway. He looks up, finding you standing there with your hand covering your mouth, tears flooding your eyes as you stare at him. 

A small smile comes across his features, “Sunshine, why are you crying?” 

You blink at him, tears falling down your face when you see the warmth in his gaze. Without a word, you walk over and wrap your arms around him, nuzzling your face into his neck as you breathe in his scent. 

Haknyeon’s eyes widen at the contact, before he slowly wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you onto his lap to hold you better. He listens to your rugged breathing as you cry, and he softly pats your back.

“Shh, it’s okay. I’m okay, yn. It’s okay.” Haknyeon mutters, biting back a laugh when he hears you sniffle rather loudly in response. He must’ve not hidden the laugh very well, considering the fact that you pinch his shoulder in retaliation. 

Pulling back, you bite your bottom lip when you see the small smile on Haknyeon’s face as he coos at you. He raises his hands up to cup your face, wiping away the tears with the pads of his thumbs. You shut your eyes, reaching out and blindly hitting his shoulder lightly. 

“Mm, should you be doing this to someone who’s injured?” 

“Don’t risk your life for me like that.” You say, opening your eyes to find Haknyeon just staring at you with a serious expression on his face. You lower your head, “I’ve been so worried, I thought you died.”

“I couldn’t have been asleep for that long—”

“You’ve been asleep for three days, Haknyeon.” You cut off, and the brunette’s jaw drops slightly at the new information. You grip onto his t-shirt, not wanting to let him go ever again, “Do you know how scared I was? Each time I came into your room, you weren’t awake. Every time Hyunjun would come in to check on you, he would come out looking so empty.” 

Haknyeon glances downward, almost feeling guilty the more you explain how you and Hyunjun have been handling his injury. Your bottom lip quivers as you stare at him, and you slowly lower your head until it rests against his forehead. 

“Why would you risk your life for me? You have so much to live for... so much to protect.” You ask quietly, and Haknyeon just lets out a breath at your question. His arms that are wrapped around your waist hold you a bit tighter as he murmurs, “Too many questions.” 

You purse your lips, “Haknyeon…”

“Can you just stay here with me? Like this?” Haknyeon asks, pulling back to look into your eyes. You can’t help but feel relieved as you stare into those deep brown eyes of his, even more grateful that they’re open. Giving him a small smile, you nod your head, leaning in and tucking your face into the crook of his neck again. 

Haknyeon lets out a sigh of content, closing his eyes to focus on the feeling of holding you. The weight that’s built up on his shoulders over the years seemingly melts away as he breathes in your scent, wanting nothing more than to just stay like this. 

“So I’m just chopped liver, huh?” You and Haknyeon pull away from each other and turn towards the door, finding Hyunjun standing there, arms crossed as he glares at the two of you. The brunette lets out a smile when he sees his best friend and gestures for him to come join you, to which he just squints. 

“I don’t want your pity cuddle invite.” 

“Do you want to cuddle or not?” You ask, opening your arms for him to come join you both as well. The black haired beauty lets out a sigh, before finally walking over and climbing onto the bed with you guys. 

He reaches out and wraps his arms around both you and Haknyeon, closing his eyes as relief washes over him when he feels Haknyeon’s heartbeat against his hand. He’s always been worried about his best friend, and this was the closest he’s been to losing him. 

Hyunjun nudges his head softly against the brunette’s, and the latter lets out a small smile, knowing exactly what his best friend must be feeling. He returns the nudge, signifying that he’s okay. 

The three of you just sit on the bed cuddling for the rest of the evening, ultimately deciding not to talk about Haknyeon’s abilities until the next day. For now, Haknyeon just wants to be with the people he cares about most in the world.

“I want to help.” 

“Absolutely not.” Haknyeon and Hyunjun cut in, and you let out a whine at the fact that they didn’t even let you finish. 

“Can you at least look at my resume?” 

“You don’t have a resume, and even if you did, we wouldn’t look at it because it’s too dangerous.” Hyunjun explains with a stern expression on his face, and you jut your bottom lip out. You turn and glance at Haknyeon, but he just shakes his head at you. 

“I’ve known Hyunjun for years, and I have never let him join in or help me on any of Eclipse’s shit. It’s dangerous.” Haknyeon tells you pointedly, and you scowl at the pretty man. “Come on!” 

“Yn.” Haknyeon says, voice lower and much more serious than it was previously. Staring into his eyes, you see no traces of the usual joy that you’re used to, only seeing something dark and sorrowful behind his gaze. Biting your bottom lip, you look away and nod your head. 

“Okay, I’ll stop.” 

Hyunjun gives you a reassuring smile as he places a piece of seaweed into your bowl, and you nod your head in gratitude. Taking a bite of it, you listen as the black haired beauty seemingly changes the subject to talk about how his residency in the hospital is going. 

Haknyeon sneaks a peek at you as he bites a piece of pork belly, seeing the brightness to your eyes that he loves so much. When he hears you giggle softly, he looks away, realizing just how precious you are to him. 

And he’s going to protect you no matter what. 

“So you can like, hear my thoughts?” 

“No.”

“Okay.” 

A moment of silence passes between you two, and the superhero is about to let out a breath of relief. 

“What am I thinking of right now?” 

Haknyeon lowers his phone to give you a look, just to find you laying on the floor on the other side of the room. You lift up your head to glance at him when you don’t hear a response, finding him staring at you with a bored expression on his face. 

“... Well?” Haknyeon sighs and turns away, hearing you let out a loud laugh from behind him. Sitting up from the carpet, you crawl over and rest your head on the arm of the couch, watching him scroll through an online store for clothes. 

“Are you ignoring me?” You ask when the brunette doesn’t acknowledge your presence, and you let out a squeak when you hear his voice in your head say, “Yes.”

“You just spoke to me!” You exclaim, clearly taken aback as he turns to glance at you with a chuckle. He lowers his phone as he flashes you that warm smile of his, “Did I?”

It’s been a month since you’ve learned of Haknyeon’s true identity, and it’s been pretty smooth sailing. You practically live at their shared apartment considering that you come over almost everyday after your classes or your shifts. Since he wouldn’t let you go with him when he had to fight, you decided to help out in the background the same way Hyunjun did. You re-coded the emergency alert to make it cover areas more broadly, and you also cook dinner for Haknyeon whenever he comes back from saving the world. 

You didn’t consider the last part as being helpful, but both Haknyeon and Hyunjun had called you a lifesaver when they smelled the stew you were cooking. Which you personally thought was quite a compliment considering the real lifesaver among the three of you.

“You spoke to me in my head! Does that mean you can really read my thoughts?” You ask, eyes widening as you reach up and rest your fingers onto your temples. Haknyeon just rolls his eyes and sets his phone down beside him. He leans forward and gently grabs your wrists, pulling your hands away from your head, causing you to look into his eyes.

“I can speak to people through telekinesis, and I can also read their thoughts if I choose to. However, I hardly ever use that ability because of how tiring it is.” Haknyeon explains, and you nod your head in understanding even though you could never actually know what he means by that. 

“Is it physically draining?” You ask when Haknyeon lets go of your wrists, and you climb up onto the couch and sit beside him. He purses his lips and shrugs his shoulders, “Depending on the stuff I hear, it can be physically draining. It’s more mentally exhausting though, people are scary.”

You rest your head on the palm of your hand, taking notice of the faraway look in Haknyeon's eyes after he mutters the sentence. Knowing better than to press him for what he means by that, you simply reach out and fix some strands of his brown hair. He smiles at the fond gesture, looking up at you with the sparkle back in his eyes. 

“Thank you.” Haknyeon says softly, and you grin. Right as you open your mouth to ask him what movie you want to watch, the apartment door bursts open, and the two of you turn your heads to find Hyunjun standing there. 

“Hey.” You greet, and the black haired beauty just sends you both a wicked grin. Haknyeon raises an eyebrow in question, just for it to get answered when Hyunjun holds up the bag he was hiding behind his back. 

“Tteokbokki?!” You exclaim, standing up from the couch in excitement as your friend nods his head happily. Haknyeon’s mouth practically waters from the mention of spicy rice cakes, quickly following after you and walking towards the kitchen. 

“What’s the special occasion?” Haknyeon asks as he grabs the bowls from the cupboard, turning around to find you helping Hyunjun open up the containers of take out. The black haired beauty just shrugs his shoulders, giving Haknyeon a smile, “I was just in a mood for spicy rice cakes after my shift.” 

You clap your hands in agreement, making Hyunjun chuckle as he sits in the seat beside you. Haknyeon walks over and sets a bowl in front of you and Hyunjun, before sitting down in the seat across from you. The three of you quickly dig into the food, talking about the pretty boy’s shift at the hospital and laughing when he starts complaining about a few patients. 

“This one patient was so angry that we needed to take their vitals that they threatened to pee on me! And I was the one standing off to the side!” Hyunjun exclaims, and you practically inhale a rice cake, making the two guffaw when you start coughing. 

“I can’t believe the two of you just laughed when I was fighting for my life just now.” You say after having gulped down a whole glass of water. Haknyeon comes out of the kitchen with a refilled cup, and he just sends you an apologetic smile as he sets it down in front of you. “Sorry, yn. It’s just that Hyunjun started laughing so I lost my mind.” 

You squint at the brunette, and he just sends you one of his eye smiles that make your legs turn into jelly. Pursing your lips, you sigh and pet his head, making him grin happily at your forgiveness. When you lean back into your chair, you turn your head to glare at Hyunjun, who is just calmly chewing on some tteokbokki. 

Registering the silence, Hyunjun slowly turns his head towards you, seeing the fire behind your eyes as you stare at him. “What?” 

“Are you gonna apologize?” You ask, and he just blinks at you. You’re about to smile in victory, only for your mouth to drop open when he snorts and shakes his head. “No, it was hilarious.” 

“Why you little—” And with that, a war erupts in the apartment between you and Hyunjun. The sounds of shrieks and laughter flood the atmosphere as you chase after him with your skewer, while the black haired beauty continues to dodge your attacks while sprinting. 

“GET BACK HERE!” 

“NEVER!” 

Haknyeon’s eyes just follow after the two of you, fondness dripping from his features when your bright smile comes into view as you and Hyunjun run past him. He reaches out and takes a rice cake, placing it into his mouth as his heart warms from the sound of your laughter. 

On this rare peaceful night, Haknyeon finds solace in your smile. 

You and Haknyeon lay side by side on the floor, debating on whether or not to go and bother Hyunjun at the hospital just for the sake of being a pure menace.

“I just think that deep down, he’d be happy to see us.” You say, and the brunette snorts. “You just want to bother him cause you like seeing him annoyed.” 

“True.” Haknyeon laughs at how quickly you admitted the real reason you wanted to go, and you grin at the sound. Rolling over on the floor, you rest your arm over Haknyeon’s stomach, making the latter turn to you with a raised eyebrow. “Mm?” 

“If you won’t let me bother Hyunjun, then I’ll bother you instead.” You murmur, and he chuckles at your thought process. Rolling over, your guy's legs become tangled as he wraps his arm around you, pressing a light kiss to your temple when he closes his eyes. You smile softly, the rate of your heartbeat increasing slightly from the fond gesture. 

“Even though we’re cuddling while laying on this uncomfortable floor,” You start, stirring Haknyeon from his impending nap. He nods, and you take it as a sign to continue. “You feel like home.” 

Haknyeon moves to pull away so he can get a good look at your face, but you simply burrow your face into his chest so that he can’t see how shy you feel at your confession. He smiles softly, letting you hide as he decides to stroke your hair. 

“I found a home in you too, yn.” He mutters, and you feel your face burn with warmth. Settling to just close your eyes and pretend the mutual confession didn’t occur, you try to fall asleep. Haknyeon continues to pat your head softly, lulling you to sleep as he keeps his eyes closed as well. 

“Let’s stay like this forever.” Haknyeon says quietly, feeling nothing but peace as he holds you within his arms. You grin, opening your mouth to respond when a loud ring shoots through the apartment, causing the two of you to bolt upwards. A feeling of dread pools in your stomach when the brunette stands up from the floor and walks over into the other room to read the system alert. 

You slowly stand up and follow after him, only for your eyes to widen when he walks right past you, already suited up as Eclipse. “Haknyeon?” 

“There’s a guy downtown who’s making bomb threats and he’s loaded as well, I have to go.” He explains quickly, preparing to get out of the window when he suddenly feels your warm hand wrapped around his wrist. 

Haknyeon glances back at you, seeing an almost desperate look on your face as you beg, “Please don’t go. I have a bad feeling about this.” 

He bites his bottom lip, gently removing his hand from your grip as he gives you a reassuring smile. “I’ll be okay, Sunshine. I’ll be back with you before you know it.” 

And without another word, Haknyeon hops out the window and soars through the air. Leaving you alone in his apartment, numerous thoughts and possibilities running rampantly through your mind. 

“Run! Run for your life!” The deranged man screams out, maniacal laughter pouring from his lips soon after as he stares up at the sky. He turns his head and smiles at the number of people fleeing the scene, feeling a rush of power flow through him.

Haknyeon floats down from the sky, landing softly behind the man so that his arrival isn’t heard. He watches as the man looks around, before he takes notice of a presence behind him. Turning his head, the guy’s eyes widen slightly when he finds Eclipse standing not too far from him. 

“Eclipse.” He breathes out, hand reaching for the gun strapped to his waist. Haknyeon just tilts his head at the action, “Why are you causing such a ruckus?” 

The man pauses, having not expected such a question. He looks up towards the superhero, finding him staring right back at him, unmoving as he waits for his response. Clearing his throat, he just gives Eclipse an evil smile. 

“I wanted to bring chaos to the city that ruined my life.” He answers calmly, the tone of his voice sending an eerie feeling through the superhero. Haknyeon places his hands behind his back, “Can I ask what happened?” 

The man just stares at Eclipse, before looking away, a flicker of pain flashing right past his eyes. Before Haknyeon can utter another word, the man pulls out his gun and aims it at the superhero. He quickly dodges the bullet and flies over to the man, disarming him and throwing the gun far from reach. 

“Where are the bombs? Where’d you put them?” Haknyeon asks as he holds the man against the ground, and he bites his bottom lip when he just receives a laugh in response. “You’ll never get to them all in time, at least one will detonate and create a domino effect across the city.” 

Haknyeon quickly creates a pair of handcuffs out of thin air, connecting the man to a pole before standing up and looking around. He closes his eyes as he tries to sense where the bombs could be when he’s by one of the buildings, and he immediately teleports to the next street when he hears the sound of ticking. 

Quickly defusing the bomb, he travels to the next few streets and finds the rest of the explosives. After making sure they’re no longer going to explode, he flies back over to the perpetrator of the attack, finding him sitting against the pole. 

“It’s over. The authorities will be here soon.” Haknyeon announces once he lands softly onto the ground. The older man just stares at the superhero, before letting out a chuckle and turning his head away. “For me or for you?”

Haknyeon blinks, “What?” 

“Come on, you and I both know the authorities and the media have it out for you. They don’t like the idea of you, never have.” He explains, a hint of bitterness to his tone as he glances back at Eclipse. He may not like the fact that the superhero intervened with his plans, but he could never agree with how the media and the government portrays him.

Haknyeon just looks away, seeing the red and blue flashing lights heading towards the two of them rather quickly. Biting his bottom lip, he glances back at the man, seeing the blank look in his eyes. Sucking in a breath, he asks, “What’s your name?” 

The question makes the man visibly pause, and he turns to look at Haknyeon, a slight raise to his eyebrow as he stares at the superhero. He lets out a small smile after a moment, “My name is Haru.” 

“Why’d you place bombs across the city?” Haknyeon asks afterwards, and Haru just shrugs his shoulders. He looks past the superhero, seeing the police cars line up the block as they prepare to step out of their vehicles. 

“Humans are the greediest creatures of them all.” Haru mutters, and just like that, the shouts of policemen come from the streets. Haknyeon turns towards the voices, seeing the special forces come forward to arrest Haru. 

He promptly releases the perpetrator from the pole as soon as the FBI have him in their hold, and they bring him towards their vehicle to arrest him. Haknyeon lets out a sigh, preparing to fly back to the apartment, only to pause when he hears the sound of guns drawing. 

He looks up to find the police holding their weapons up towards him, and he lets out a sad smile at the sight. “Hands up in the air, Eclipse. We won’t let you get away this time.” 

Haru glances back at the police, scoffing so loudly that a few turn to look at him. The FBI holding him stops dragging him when he halts his movement, and he gestures towards all the officers, “I’m the real villain here, and you’re all pointing your guns at Eclipse?” 

“This doesn’t concern you.” 

“I’m the one that caused this whole mess! Of course it concerns me!” Haru shouts back, and the FBI agent jolts him rather violently at the snarkiness to his tone. He scowls at her, before turning back to the officers, “You’re all fucked up. We’re all fucked up!” 

“Get rid of him.” The police chief orders, still holding his own gun up in the superhero’s direction.

Chaos erupts when Haru starts fighting back against the FBI, shouts of anger and pain filling the cold air as the police hurry over to try and restrain the man. Haknyeon’s eyes widen and he runs over to stop them from hurting Haru, but right as he grabs one of the officers, a gunshot rings through the air. 

“Haru!” Hakyneon shouts. He begins to frantically push through the crowd of officers, thinking that they’ve shot the man who was ultimately defenseless due to the superhero disarming him earlier.

“Haknyeon?” Only for the brunette to freeze at the familiar voice, blood running cold as he slowly turns his head. 

“Yn?” 

You’re standing not too far from him, clutching your stomach with a confused expression on your face as the police chief in front of you watches in horror. The gun he had shot from slowly falls from his hands, and the man quickly backs away from the scene.

Haknyeon immediately runs over and wraps his arms around you, searching your face as you stare into his eyes through his mask. “Yn? What happened? What are you doing here?”

“Something happened. I-I don’t know what happened. Am I okay?” You ask, feeling lightheaded as the clouds darken above the two of you. Removing your hand from your stomach, your eyes widen when all you can see is red. Panic seizes Haknyeon’s heart when he looks down at your hand, and the all too familiar feeling of warmth seeps onto his stomach as he keeps you from falling.

“You’re okay, Sunshine. You’re okay.” Haknyeon reassures you, slowly lowering the two of you onto the ground so that you’re resting on his lap. The superhero turns towards the officers and FBI agents who are just watching you and him in silence, shock written across their faces. “P-Please get help! Please! Call for help!” 

“Haknyeon.” You mutter, tears flooding your eyes as your hand rests against his, feeling warmth flow through your fingers as you stare up at him. He looks back down at you, heartbeat running a mile a minute within his chest, “Yeah, yn?” 

“I want to go home. Let’s go home.” You murmur, fighting back the oncoming fatigue as you stare at the man you love. Your memories start flashing before your eyes, all the laughter and joy you and Haknyeon had shared in the few months you’ve known each other. He nods his head, “I’ll take you home, yn. We’ll go home, I promise.” 

“Please, I wanna go home.” You cry, and Haknyeon bites back a sob as he just tries to appease you. He glances around at the officers, seeing some talking through their walkie-talkies and others just watching you and the superhero.

“I-I’m scared.” Haknyeon’s heart breaks within his chest at your soft voice. He quickly mutters, “It’s okay. It’ll be okay, yn. Hold on a bit longer for me, please.” and closes his eyes as he tries to channel his power into teleporting the two of you to the hospital. He bites back a scream of frustration when he opens his eyes to find the two of you still sitting on the concrete in the middle of the city, wondering why his powers aren’t working when he needs them to.

“When we get home,” You suddenly cough, and Haknyeon feels the blood drain from his face when he sees the red splatter on your lips. He frantically shakes his head, tears falling past his eyes as he holds you tighter, turning towards the officers again, “PLEASE! CALL FOR HELP!” 

“W-When we get home, can we stay in bed forever? Like you said?” You ask, the light in your eyes fading as you stare up at him. Haknyeon nods his head, desperately trying to get himself to teleport, to fly, anything.

But nothing is working as he holds you, and he lets out a cry of pain when you struggle to keep your eyes open. 

“Yn. Yn, please. Don’t close your eyes, okay? Look at me, Sunshine. Look at me.” Haknyeon begs, and you blink slowly. He bites his bottom lip harshly, trying to focus so that he can teleport the two of you to the hospital, but his heart stops when you suddenly reach up and rest your hand on his cheek. 

“Yn?” 

You stare up into his eyes for a moment in silence, feeling yourself get lost in those deep brown orbs that hold so much love and hope whenever he looks at you. A heartbreaking smile forms on your face, focusing on his embrace that brings you so much warmth.

“We’re home.” You say softly, and before Haknyeon can utter another word, your hand falls limp. He’s stunned into silence when your eyes shut, and he blinks when he no longer sees the rise and fall to your chest. 

“Y-Yn. Yn. Yn, wake up.” Haknyeon mutters, gently shaking you to try and get you to open your eyes. 

You’re just sleeping. You’re going to wake up just like you always do whenever I go to wake you in the mornings. It’s just a deep sleep. He repeatedly tells himself, tears blurring his vision as more time passes and you still don’t awake.

“S-Sunshine? Please, I’m begging you to open your eyes.” Haknyeon urges, refusing to accept the truth that’s laid out before him. That he failed. He broke his promise. 

He didn’t protect you.

Haknyeon slowly rests his ear over your chest, clutching onto you tightly when the familiar sound of your heart doesn’t softly beat against his ear. He shuts his eyes, a sob finally escaping him as he shows his weakness to the world. All of his senses are honed in on you, focusing on the fact that you’re still warm as he cries and screams in despair.

Lifting his head up, Haknyeon lets out a blood curdling sob that makes the officers flinch backwards. The light cloudy sky above them turns dark, the sound of thunder filling the air as heavy rain begins to descend from the sky and fall onto the city. They all quickly begin to head into their vehicles and drive away due to the hard rain pelting them, leaving Eclipse alone in the middle of Seoul.

But the superhero continues to hold you, darkness finally consuming him whole now that he’s lost the only ray of light that brought him hope. 

present time

Haknyeon stands before your locker, staring at the photo that displays your bright smile that once brought him so much warmth. 

Now he’s just filled with regret.

Letting out a breath, the villain reaches out and presses a single white orchid against the glass. He places his hand back into his pocket, “I finally got the man that killed you three years ago.” 

Haknyeon looks down at the floor, the grief in his chest still so prominent even after all these years. He shuts his eyes, trying to fight back the memory of the last smile you had shown him that fateful day. 

“We’re home.”

Biting his bottom lip, Haknyeon’s eyes slowly trail back up until they land on your photo again. He remembers when this picture was taken. You, Hyunjun, and Haknyeon practically sprinted to the park when it was sunset so that Hyunjun could have photos to post for Instagram. 

“Hyunjun! I’ve taken like... ten million photos!” You exclaim with a frown, and Haknyeon laughs from beside you when he sees the offended look on his best friend’s face. “Take more!” 

Rolling your eyes playfully, you take more photos of the beauty without another noise of complaint. Haknyeon stands to the side, calling out poses and shouts of encouragement that make you and Hyunjun laugh.

“Hyunjun should be a model instead of a surgeon.” You mutter, and Haknyeon nods his head in agreement. He turns to look at you to respond, only to pause when he lays eyes on the art before him. 

The sky is painted in different pinks and purples above you, casting a glow over your features as you concentrate on taking photos for the black haired beauty. A smile forms on your face when Hyunjun lets out a shriek due to a bug, and Haknyeon slowly raises his phone up towards you.

“Yn!” You turn your head towards the brunette, a bright smile on your face right as he takes the photo. Your eyes widen slightly when you hear the sound of a camera shutter go off, and you lower the phone in your hands. “Did you just take a photo of me?” 

“Yeah.” He answers with a grin, and you raise an eyebrow at him. “Why?” 

Haknyeon just smiles fondly at you, and with a shrug of his shoulders he replies, 

“You looked pretty, Sunshine.”

Sucking in a shaky breath at the vivid memory, he tentatively reaches up to gently rest his hand against the glass in hopes to feel closer to you. But he stops, remembering exactly who he’s become as he stares into your eyes that held so much life to them.

A villain. He’s no longer the man you knew when you were still alive. Haknyeon hasn’t even seen Hyunjun since you passed, because if he couldn’t even protect you, how could he protect Hyunjun? 

He lets out a breath, realizing that his mother was right. It’s safer for him to be alone.

And so, his hand slowly falls back down to his side, and he takes a step back from your locker. Haknyeon blinks back the tears that flood his eyes the longer he stares at your smiling face, and he quickly wipes away the tear that manages to escape his left eye. He swallows the lump in his throat and gives you one last heartbreaking smile, before turning and walking away. 

But he stops right as he’s about to pass the threshold, glancing back at you to softly mutter,

“I was never as good as you thought I was.”

It doesn't make sense to you, at least not a lot of the time, how you ended up like this. Couldn't Haknyeon have chosen any better than you, a noble who's spent their entire life in the city, away from the country, with about as much understanding of crop seasons and rotation as the flowers in the fields?

"You know, a lot of your friends and cousins would argue that I couldn't get any better than you," Haknyeon replies when you ask him this. He plucks a bright yellow flower from a nearby bush and settles it behind your ear. "You're a noble, how could I get much better than that?"

Embarrassment pouts your lips and you groan. "You know what I mean," you mumble into your hands. "Just because I'm noble doesn't mean there aren't so many other people who are better than me out in the world." You lift your hands from your face even though it means letting him see the way your smile has dropped from your face - Haknyeon has never wanted you to hide how you feel around him, the way your family always expected you to. "They'd probably be easier to love, too."

"What do you mean, easier?" Haknyeon's smile grows smaller but softer as he fiddles with the flower behind your ear. "It's the easiest thing in the world, loving you."

You frown. "That's impossible."

"How so?"

An incredulous look that no one but he has seen spreads across your face. "The sneaking around? The status difference? The fact that if we're both caught, we might die?"

"Ah, but those are simply the risks and consequences." He pulls away from the flower, seemingly satisfied with its arrangement. "It doesn't make loving you any more difficult, you know. There are risks everywhere. I only have to choose which ones to take." Narrowing his eyes, Haknyeon peers into your face. "Is it hard to love me?"

"I... no, I suppose. Not if that's the way you put it." You sigh. "It just feels difficult, sometimes. When I think of what might happen to you if anything were to go wrong."

Haknyeon makes a humming sound in his throat. "I understand."

"But I guess that's just part of love." You try to smile. The bright yellow flower petals tickling the side of your face make it easier. "Worrying about you more than I worry about myself."

"And thank you for sharing those worries with me." Haknyeon leans forward and kisses you once, softly. "But don't worry too much, yes? Things will turn out all right in the end. Even if they don't, I'm not going to leave you, no matter how hard it gets."

You frown, chest filling with honey sweet warmth and bitter, cold worry. "Haknyeon."

"What? It's a promise I can make." He smiles and some of the bitterness dispels. "Even if you ask me to leave, for my own good... I won't. I can't." His fingers tangle with yours, squeezing softly. "I love you too much for that."

A tear burns in your eye. "I love you too much to let you take these risks for me."

"Don't be silly." His voice sounds sweeter, warmer than even honey under the sun. "I've already chosen to take my risks, just as you've chosen to take yours." He leans forward, presses his lips to your forehead. "You're not letting me do anything. I'm doing what I want to do."

Your voice is small. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Y/N." He smiles like sunshine, erasing the worry on your lips with a single kiss. "I'm sure."

Note: I’m not sure how I feel about this, so I may rewrite it someday. Also, I imagined Haknyeon a little older in this and I suggest you do the same lol.

•••

Haknyeon nearly ran into the glass door of Dream Daycare in his haste, but he caught himself just in time, hands pressing up against the cool glass and leaving his fingerprints behind. With heavy breaths, he swung the door open and walked inside.

The ice blue walls were much too bright compared to the darkening sky outside, which only added to Haknyeon's guilt. He walked briskly through the halls that were painted with white fluffy clouds against blue, the bright cheeriness they implied almost taunting him. He was damn late.

"I'm so sorry," he panted as he burst through yet another door. Expecting to see you at the sink — washing dishes or some sort of craft project like you always were when he showed up, Haknyeon paused when he saw, in fact, no one at the sink. Oh right. He was late. You probably finished the dishes two hours ago.

When he saw nobody else, he ventured further into the daycare than he usually did when picking Daeyoon up. "Hello…?"

"Halt!" You suddenly popped out from behind a bookshelf, pointing a worn-down foam sword straight at Haknyeon's nose. Instinctively, Haknyeon raised his hands in surrender. Though, when he realized it was you, he quirked an eyebrow. "King Ju, you've been placed under arrest by order of His Royal Highness. Come with me."

Other than the foam sword, you also had what looked like arm guards made from brown paper bags, doodled on with little decorations clearly drawn by children. You lowered the sword and smiled playfully, then waved for him to follow as you turned and walked further into the room. Haknyeon had no idea what was going on, but he was just glad you weren't chewing him out for being as late as he was.

As you led him to the play area, he finally spotted Daeyoon sitting at a tiny table. Atop his head, he wore a crown similar to your arm guards, made with brown paper and drawn all over with colourful markers. A plastic tea set, complete with a teapot, cups filled with what looked like water, and saucers, sat on the table.

"May I present," you said, placing a hand over you heart, "His Royal Highness, Princess Daeyoon of Dreamlandia!"

You placed a hand gently on Haknyeon's shoulder, guiding him to bow with you.

When you both rose, Haknyeon turned to look at you, then his son, then you again. "Prin...cess?"

"Why of course!" You turned to Daeyoon, bending down with your hands on your knees. "Princes are so overrated, right, Princess Daeyoon?" Straightening yourself up, you whispered to Haknyeon, "We read The Paper Bag Princess today."

Daeyoon took a sip of his "tea", nodding. He looked like he was trying to act prim and proper, but the facade wasn't too convincing with his Paw Patrol t-shirt.

You cleared your throat dramatically and spoke again, "Princess Daeyoon, I, your loyal knight, have apprehended and brought forth King Ju for trial."

"Thank you, Sir Sleepalot. Sit down Papa — I mean, King Ju," Daeyoon said. He gestured to the seat across from him, taking another sip of his fake tea.

The chair was much too small for anyone taller than three feet, but Daeyoon looked — or was trying to look — serious. "Buddy, I don't think—"

You raised your foam sword again, fighting against a swarm of giggles, and Haknyeon had to stop himself from putting his hands up a second time. It was already embarrassing in the first place. Daeyoon seemed like he was about to break character and laugh too, but he somehow managed to hold it together.

"Might I remind you, King Ju," you said, a cute smile on your face, "that you are here for questioning under the order of the Princess. Please show some respect." Pointing to the tiny plastic chair, you continued, "Have a seat."

Haknyeon relented, crouching awkwardly to sit down, his knees bent up and squished between him and the table. He laughed a bit. Normally he would have signed Daeyoon out and been on the way home by now, though, it wouldn't hurt to let the boy play a little, especially after being so late. And if you were okay with it — seeing as you were cheerfully playing along, then Haknyeon felt no harm.

With another dramatic clearing of your throat, you mimed pulling out a scroll and unrolling it. "Dreamlandia Royal Court is now in session! Your first question, Your Highness?"

You turned to Daeyoon, who was practically vibrating in anticipation. "First question," he boasted, pointing theatrically at Haknyeon, "Why are you so late Papa? It's—!"

He turned to you, and you quickly glanced in the direction of the kitchen, finding the clock on the microwave. "It's 6:38!" you finished for him.

Ah, there it is. Of course Haknyeon wouldn't get off being late scott free, what was he thinking?

"Papa had things to do at work today, buddy, I'm sorry. Uncle Jaehyun was supposed to pick you up for me, but he ran into some trouble of his own, okay?" 

"Uncle Jaehyun?" Daeyoon's eyes lit up at the mention of his favorite (but don't tell Sangyeon) uncle.

"Yeah, he says he feels really bad, so he's gonna take you out for ice cream this weekend. How does that feel, uh, Princess?"

Actually, Jaehyun said McDonald's, but Daeyoon had been eyeing this fancy new ice cream shop recently, and Haknyeon knew it would be the perfect apology bribe. 

"Did you hear that Sir Sleepalot?" Daeyoon nearly yelled. Haknyeon had barely noticed that you'd disappeared for a second and reappeared next to him with two mugs in hand, placing one down in front of him. Daeyoon pointed a triumphant thumb to his chest. "Uncle Jaehyun is taking me for ice cream!"

"Oh, you didn't have to—" Haknyeon tried to say, but you cut him off.

"I did hear! Isn't that nice of him? You must like Uncle Jaehyun a whole lot." When Daeyoon went off on a rant about the new shoes ("they light up!") his uncle bought him, you turned to Haknyeon and whispered, "I already had some brewing anyway."

Haknyeon wanted to argue that he'd be leaving soon, but when you sat down at the tiny kids table, he couldn't find the words. 

"Heyyyy," Daeyoon suddenly whined, "why does Papa get a special drink?"

"King Ju and I aren't allowed to drink your special princess tea, so we have to drink this gross stuff," you answered simply, pointing at Daeyoon's mini teacup. "Now Princess Daeyoon, do you remember the second question you had for King Ju?" 

“Oh!” Daeyoon swiftly stood up, knocking the table with his knees as he went and completely forgetting about the ‘special drinks’. He crouched down next to his backpack and rummaged through it. Though he didn’t seem to have much luck finding whatever it was he tried to look for.

Next to Haknyeon, you let out a little laugh. You took another sip of your tea and gestured for Haknyeon to do the same. It tasted floral and fruity, not like what Haknyeon usually drank, but nice in a different sort of way. He smiled as he set his cup down, and he sent you the look as a frail form of thanks. Though, when he looked at you well and good for the first time, his eyes stuck in place.

You wore a different hairstyle today than usual, he noticed, and it made you look, well, cute. Not that you weren't cute before, but… maybe that wasn't the right word… you've always looked nice… no, that sounded backhanded somehow—

"Papa," Daeyoon interrupted, making Haknyeon jerk his eyes off of you and onto his son. His little eyes darted between Haknyeon and you for a moment, filled with a question Haknyeon wouldn't know how to answer. All Haknyeon could do was pray you hadn't noticed him staring, but how could you not have? You were the only other person in the room, and you were sitting right next to him, for god's sake. Daeyoon waved his fingers in front of Haknyeon's face. "Papa?"

"Uh, yes?"

Daeyoon grinned from ear to ear, happy that he got his dad's full attention back. "Question two," he announced, "do you want…" He pulled his hand out from under the table, revealing a second paper crown and holding it out proudly in front of him. "THIS?"

Haknyeon's heart swelled at the sight of the craft, all bits of glitter and messy doodles. On one side, letters spelled out 'King Papa', the first word in what must have been your handwriting, and the other lopsided one in Daeyoon's. The crown sparkled under the fluorescent lights of the daycare.

"Aww, buddy, of course I'd like it." Haknyeon went to take the crown from Daeyoon, but it was swiped away at the last second. Making a sound of confusion, Haknyeon raised an eyebrow.

Daeyoon held the crown close to him, almost hugging it if it weren't so fragile. "If you want it, you gotta make a promise," he said.

"A promise?"

"Uh huh," Daeyoon urged, nodding enthusiastically. "You gotta promise to…" He furrowed his brow in concentration, trying to find the words. Suddenly his eyes widened as if he got it. "If you're late…"

Haknyeon turned his head to catch you sending hand signals to Daeyoon, and you quickly looked away, sipping your tea as if nothing happened. He could see the coy smile on your lips, though.

"...if you're late," Daeyoon continued, drawing back Haknyeon's attention, "you have to… call… so…"

You gestured your hand for Daeyoon to continue, mouthing the words for him.

"...we know… you're… okay!"

Both you and Daeyoon cheered at his success, and you leaned over the kid's table to high five him. Haknyeon let out a sigh, turning to you again.

"I really am sorry for being late, it won't happen again," he told you, but there was no guarantee behind that promise.

You shrugged. "It's no skin off my back, besides, I sort of needed the overtime pay anyways." Finishing off your tea, you placed the mug softly on the table. "Oh, but you do actually have to call in when you can, because if we don't know if you're okay or not, we have to call child protective services. Which, to be honest, is the last thing I wanna do."

With a cute little wink, you turned back to Daeyoon. "Okay Princess, it's time to crown King Ju and go home, alright?" 

“Nooooooo,” Daeyoon whined, "I wanna play with you and Papa."

“I think we’ve bothered them for long enough, Daeyoon. It’s time to go.” Haknyeon held out his hand for the crown and put it on his head with a smile when Daeyoon handed it over. He then picked up Daeyoon’s bag, slung it over one shoulder, and picked up Daeyoon so his chest was against his own. Daeyoon’s legs naturally wrapped around Haknyeon’s waist. He wouldn’t protest anymore, not when he got to sit in Haknyeon’s grip — his favorite. Apparently he liked hearing his dad’s heartbeat. Slowly, Haknyeon made his way out of the room. “Do you drive home?”

You looked up at Haknyeon after putting away the tea set, grabbing your own bag, and turning off the room lights, walking out and closing the door behind you. “No, I take the bus usually.”

“Usually?”

Your eyes turned to the floor as you let out a nervous laugh. “Yeah… sometimes I leave my pass at home so I have to walk. Oh, I have it today, though.”

The sky outside glowed a soft pink colour, a warning that night would soon fall. Haknyeon could feel the weight in his arms growing heavier, and he knew that meant Daeyoon was falling asleep, something he always did in the comfort of his father’s hold. “It’s getting dark,” he said as you both stepped out of Dream Daycare.

“I don’t live very far,” you assured with a smile.

“I…” Was he really about to ask? Yes. “I could give you a lift, if you’d like, as thanks for your troubles. I know Daeyoon can be a handful.”

“That’s very sweet of you to offer, but I’m actually meeting a friend tonight. They’re going to pick me up just down the road.” You pointed in the opposite direction of where Haknyeon was headed, and he felt his heart deflate. He wasn’t sure why, but he knew he’d enjoy a few more minutes with you. There was no point in arguing, though, you barely knew him.

He wanted to get to know you.

“But…” you drawled, taking one step closer to him, hands clasped behind your back, “I wouldn’t be against thanks in the form of ice cream this weekend. Only if the Princess approves, of course.”

Haknyeon could only meet your eyes in shock for more than a few seconds. Letting out a laugh that was more a relieved exhale than anything, he smiled to the ground. He returned his gaze to you. “It’s a date.”

Sneak Out- Juhaknyeon

Genre: Fluff

Word Count: 3466

Everyone always says honesty is the best policy, but you were damn sure that it was not even close. 

It all started like this. 

You were tiptoeing your way back to your room, only for the lights to turn on all around you.

“Father!” You say in surprise while also grimacing. Sangyeon stood next to him, a guilty look on his face. 

“Princess, do you want to explain to me what you were doing out so late at night without Sangyeon?” He asks, glancing in your bodyguard’s direction. 

“You are in no way, shape, or form allowed to hurt or fire Sangyeon,” You reply immediately. “He didn’t know. I turned off the security system.”

“Bedroom, now.” He sternly says, pointing towards the stairs. You gather your dress from below you and quickly make your way to your bedroom. You stand outside to attempt to hear what your father will say to Sangyeon only to hear his voice directed towards you again. 

“And I mean inside the bedroom!”

You hastily unlock the bedroom door and make your way inside, wondering what would happen to Sangyeon. 

It didn’t take long for you to figure out what happened, because as soon as you woke up the next morning, you noticed Sangyeon's absence from your door. Instead, a different figure stood outside your door. You wanted to search for the kind man, and friend, that once stood in his spot.

“Where is Sangyeon?” You immediately ask, confusion laced in your voice.

“He monitors the gardens now. Your father said if he proves himself worthy enough to move back up in rank, he can take the job of being your personal security again,” The man replies. 

“And who are you?” You ask, finally getting a good look at his face. You had seen him around a few times, just now getting to see him up close. You knew he was friends with the other lower-level security- Sunwoo and Eric. 

“Not important,” He mutters, turning back around. 

You furrow your eyebrows at his attitude. “Fine, if you’re going to be like that, then so be it.”

You push past the man, but he quickly follows suit, not letting you out of his line of sight. You roll your eyes in frustration, knocking on the doors of the study room that your father usually resided in.

“Come in,” You hear him say. Thankfully, the security guard doesn’t come in with you. You watch him turn his back to the room and place his hands against his sides, the usual stance you saw the guards in. 

Turning back around, you bombard your father.  

“Why won’t that man tell me his name? And why did you lower Sangyeon’s rank? You know he has a wife and child to feed, this is not acceptable, father! It was not his fault! Not to mention, all I did was hang out with Chanhee last night. That is not nearly enough reason to-”

Your father looks up from his papers, cutting you off. 

“First, you will not tell me how to run my kingdom. I make all my decisions with fair judgment, and it has not led me to the wrong place yet. Second, I know of Sangyeon’s situation. His payment and residence in the kingdom are still the same. He is merely doing another task until I find himself in a good position to monitor you again. Third, I do not care who you were with. You are not allowed out of this house without your guard, which brings me to my next point. Haknyeon is an incredible guard, and it was about time I tested him to see his full potential.”

You go silent at his words, pouting once you realize there was no argument you could use against him. Once he realizes the look on your face, he can’t help but laugh.

“What? Upset you're unable to fight back? Let’s go. It’s time for breakfast,” He chuckles, getting up from his seat. You break out into a small smile as well, not letting him see it. 

“Haknyeon,” You say once you're outside of the study room, bowing to finally meet the guard’s acquaintance. 

“Princess,” Haknyeon stiffly says, bowing as well. Your father leaves you behind, speaking with someone else, leaving you alone with Haknyeon.

“I hope we can be good friends,” You say, smiling and walking away before you can hear Haknyeon scoff underneath his breath and jog up to catch up with you. 

-

And that’s how it started: You doing everything you could to get Haknyeon to enjoy your presence, and him simply staying silent as you asked him a million questions at once. There had been a few times that you were able to get some answers from him. He was the middle child, one older sister and one younger. It was evident from the way he talked about them that they meant a lot to him. You also learned that he could be a little reckless, only when he was around Eric and Sunwoo, though. There were a few moments when you got to see the real him, pushing Eric whenever he whispered something in his ear or fondly smiling at the animals that sometimes found themselves around the kingdom. 

It was another bright day. You were splayed across the bench in the garden while Haknyeon sat near the river, throwing bread to the ducks. 

“Haknyeon?” You ask, shielding your eyes from the sun as you take a look at the man sitting across from you. He was humming slightly, a song you had never heard before. 

“Yes, princess?” 

“Do you think I could meet your sisters one day?” You get up from your position, brushing off your dress of anything that might have been on it. 

Haknyeon furrows his eyebrows, a look of confusion arising on his face. “Why?”

You frown, not liking his response. “From what I have heard of them, I think we would get along well. Also, I want to see the pig farm. And the horses! I think it’s completely unfair that you have yet to introduce me to your animals.”

You’re not sure whether it’s because of the sun, or your words, that you see a blush rise on his face. Much to your dismay, a small smile also erupts on his face, one that you didn’t get to see often. 

Not everything could be blamed on the heat though, because you were sure of the reason for the butterflies you felt gathering in your stomach.

And although he didn’t give you a sure answer, he took you there the next week. 

-

“Princess Y/N! Haknyeonie!” You hear an excited voice shout. The carriage finally stops, letting you see the source of the noise, but all you can see is a blur running towards the two of you. Haknyeon told you before you left that the visit was a surprise, and you were sure you were just as excited as his little sister as she saw the carriage pull in.

Haknyeon didn’t get to visit often, especially now that he was your bodyguard; he had to accompany you no matter where you went. You were glad that he asked the King, however, because he definitely needed a break.

“Suyeonie!” He exclaims, immediately jumping out of the carriage to meet her. He picks her up, spinning her around, and you smile as you watch his little sister squeal in excitement. 

“Haknyeonie, you never told us you were coming! And you brought,” She looks in your direction but quickly turns away, trying to whisper the rest of her sentence, “You brought the princess.”

Haknyeon looks at you, a look of realization running across his face. 

“Oh, Princess, I am so sorry!” He rushes to the carriage, holding out his hand to help you descend. 

“Nonsense Haknyeon, I should not be your priority in this situation,” You shake your head, taking his hand nonetheless so you could get down. It didn’t matter if you had remained on the carriage for a second or an hour, Haknyeon deserved this. 

“You are always my priority,” He mumbles, helping you out and turning before he can see the blush that arose on your face.

The rest of the day went by with you getting to know his family, most of it being his little sister dragging you around to show you different things. You enjoyed it though- getting to know Haknyeon’s family. It was also important for you to connect with the children knowing they looked up to you.

“Suyeonie, you need to leave her alone,” You hear an unfamiliar voice say. There was one person you had yet to meet. You met his mother as she frantically searched for where the youngest had run off to, but she was pleasantly surprised to see that she was with you and Haknyeon. She complained to Haknyeon about not having a heads up to clean the house, but it was spotless when you entered. She had explained that his older sister was out getting some fruits and vegetables from the local market, and for some reason, you were most nervous to meet her. 

“She’s my friend!” Suyeon claimed before taking the stuffed animal that was in her hand and placing it in yours. “See! She’s meeting my toys!”

You softly smile at the girl in front of you, but Haknyeon’s older sister tells her to go to the kitchen to help Haknyeon put away the food that she had just brought. She goes without a complaint, but not before telling you to take good care of the pig that she gave you.

“You must be the princess. It is impossible to mistake you for anyone else. You’re beautiful,” His sister says before sitting next to you. “I’m Ukhyung.”

“Oh, thank you! You’re beautiful too,” You say, taking time to admire his sister. 

“I overheard Haknyeon talking about you in the kitchen. He seems to care for you a lot,” She begins, a familiar glint in her eye.

“I would hope so, considering it’s his job,” You laugh off the meaning of her words, trying to brush off the feeling that arose within you. “I care about him as well, so I am glad to hear that.”

It’s silent for a moment, neither of you saying anything. You can tell she’s contemplating something, so you decide to say nothing.

“Just promise me something. I’m asking this as not only his sister but as a citizen of your kingdom.”

You nod your head, gesturing for her to go on with what she was saying. 

“Please take care of him.”

Dear Princess,

When are you coming to visit me?? It has been so long since we have seen each other that my mother has forgotten what you looked like! I am so tired of hearing about how ravishing and lovely your new bodyguard is through letters. Your father loves you, and we both know he will do nothing if he finds you come back home late again. Where is your wandering spirit? Your sense of freedom? Your love and affection for your best friend?

Please come see me. I am so bored without you.

CC 

Also, please tell Sunwoo to stop sending me “anonymous” love letters. There is nothing anonymous about his elementary writing skills. 

“What are you reading?” Haknyeon asks, sneaking up from behind you. You immediately turn around, hiding the letter behind your back. 

A mischievous smile makes its way onto Haknyeon’s face, causing you to frown.

“Do not even think about it. It is just a letter from Chanhee. He wants me to come see him,” You explain, sitting down on the bench that was outside of your room. 

“I have yet to meet Chanhee. I can take you to see him. I feel obligated to know him considering he is your one and only friend,” Haknyeon laughs at his own words, a proud smile arising on his face. Ever since you went to go meet his family, it’s like you unlocked a new side to him. Most of that new side meant getting teased relentlessly, almost as much as you poked fun at him.

Knowing Chanhee’s lack of filter, you knew seeing him with Haknyeon by your side would be a terrible idea. Chanhee would expose your feelings towards him within seconds. 

“Excuse you, I will let you know that I have many friends. The entire kingdom is my friend. Also, do not worry about Chanhee. I will just-” You stop mid-sentence, hoping that you had stopped yourself before it was too late. You dart your eyes to the ground, not wanting to see Haknyeon. 

“You will just what?” Haknyeon asks, a serious look replacing his smile. 

He already knew what you were going to say.

You feel your heart pick up its pace as Haknyeon lowers himself to your level to meet you. He places his pointer finger below your chin and raises his face to make eye contact with you. You can’t help but notice his proximity.

“Finish your sentence, Princess,” He mutters, lightly tracing your jawline. 

You can tell why your father had put him in this position, immediately feeling compelled to tell Haknyeon how you were planning on sneaking out to meet Chanhee. He was good at his job. 

“Was planning on seeing Chanhee tonight,” You mumble, afraid to break eye contact with him.

“Well, I can’t let you do that,” Haknyeon tuts. 

You could tell he was being stern, yet it was obvious his mind was elsewhere.

“But-” You complain, getting ready to tell Haknyeon that there was no harm in going to Chanhee’s alone. You had done it many times, and nothing had happened to you.

“I can’t let you sneak out again, I’m sorry,” He states. Much to your dismay, it did look like he was sorry. A pained expression quickly crossed his face. 

“Why?” You whisper. 

“I think you know the answer to that, Princess.”

-

It was extremely difficult to ignore Haknyeon. 

It was not like you were angry towards him. You knew you were falling for him at a rapid rate, scaring you in ways that you had never felt before. 

Considering he was your bodyguard, it was practically impossible to keep away from him. Thankfully, you didn’t have to work towards that goal much longer. 

“Sangyeon!” You exclaim, once you open your door and see the man.

“Missed me?” He asks, laughing. He wraps his arms around you, something that others would find odd if they didn’t know how close you two truly were. 

“So much,” You truthfully say, trying to erase the thoughts from your mind that were wondering where Haknyeon was. 

“Could not have been that much,” Sangyeon says, the glint in his eyes disappearing. “I think you need to talk to Haknyeon.”

Your heart immediately stops beating at the mention of his name. 

“Did something happen to him? Where is he? Is he being transferred somewhere outside the kingdom?” You ask, not even realizing how many questions you were truly asking. At this point, only worry clouded your thoughts. 

“I think you know where he is. He will explain everything,” Sangyeon reassures, moving out of the doorway so you could leave.

You begin to take off but quickly turn back around, kissing Sangyeon on the cheek.

“Thank you.”

Your feet began to lead you to where you needed to go before you could even think about it. 

“Haknyeon,” You breathe out once you see the man sitting on your favorite bench in the garden. You didn’t say his name loudly, but as if he could sense your presence, he turned around to look at you.

“Hi Princess,” He smiles.

You make your way over to him, taking some time to catch your breath. 

“I must be pretty important for you to come running like this.” Though his words were meant to be a joke, there was something else in his tone that didn’t match up.

“You are important to me, Haknyeon,” You confirm, taking a seat next to him. 

After a few seconds of silence, he finally turns to look at you. Your hand laid upon the bench in such a way that you could feel the warmth radiating off of Haknyeon.

“You know, your father did not come to me to switch me out with Sangyeon,” He explains, looking down at your hand before looking back up at you. You take the chance and reach for his hand, intertwining them. If your heart immediately started beating faster at the contact, that’s something Haknyeon did not need to know. “I went to him.”

“Why?” You ask, suddenly getting flashbacks to when you were sitting outside of your room, asking him this same question in a hushed tone. 

“I do not think that I am fit for the job,” He bitterly laughs, staring at your intertwined hands. 

Your eyebrows furrow, immediately finding offense in his words. 

“There is no one more qualified for this job than you, Haknyeon. You make me feel protected, safe,” You trail off, hoping that Haknyeon understood where you were going with your sentence.

Silence, again. It was almost like you could see Haknyeon’s conflicting thoughts fight in his head. 

“I am so in love with you,” Haknyeon whispers, looking back up at you. “And I told him. I told the King.”

Your eyes widen in shock, not expecting Haknyeon to admit those words, let alone tell your father. You want to smile, laugh in joy, but you knew that there were evident consequences to his words. His well-being came before your feelings. 

“Haknyeon,” You whisper, taking your free hand to grip his jaw to ensure that he was looking at you and would continue to do so.

“What did he say?” You ask. You knew your father well, but not enough for you to predict his actions in such a circumstance. No one could.

“I am no longer working as security,” He admits.

Your first reaction is even more shock, but soon you begin to feel yourself fill with anger. You stand up from your spot, letting go of any contact you had with Haknyeon.

“That is absurd! I can’t believe he would remove you from security when you have been working with us for nearly five years! I don’t care about the repercussions, but I need to talk to father about this, because I refuse-” Haknyeon cuts you off mid-ramble, a laugh escaping his lips. 

“Princess, I am sorry to cut you off, but there is no need to do all that. He gave me another job to replace the one I was doing. If I can be completely honest, I already felt myself starting to lack at my current position. My head is never clear around you,” He confesses. 

“Oh,” You deflate, the anger quickly leaving your body. You temporarily ignore his last sentence. “Well, what are you doing now?” 

“Night watchman. Not much different than security, but not specifically tailored to you,” He explains, taking your hand and placing it back in his.

You nod your head in approval, not realizing that you had yet to address the other part of his confession.

“And what did he say about the other part?” You ask, suddenly feeling shy to say the words aloud.

“What part? The part where I said I am in love with you?” Haknyeon teases, pulling you closer. You could tell he was still nervous, though, his hands slightly shaking. The butterflies that you had become familiar with erupted in your stomach once again. 

You nod your head, playing with his fingers to distract you from the anxiousness that washed through you.

“Well, he said that, ultimately,” He takes a pause, causing your heart to beat faster in anticipation. “It was your choice-”

“Oh thank God,” You mumble, closing the gap between the two of you and finally kissing the boy that sat in front of you.

You feel him pause for a second, in shock, but he quickly begins to kiss back, a slight laugh escaping his lips. As you expected, kissing Haknyeon was the best feeling in the world. An addicting feeling that you were afraid you could never get sick of. 

“I love you,” You whisper when you finally get a chance to pull away from his lips. 

Haknyeon simply smiles back, the brightest smile you had ever seen on his face. 

“Can I meet Chanhee now?” He asks, a mischievous smirk replacing his smile. “You know, as your bodyguard, I have to read all your letters before you do to ensure that there was no one threatening you, right?”

You drop your mouth in shock, scoffing at his dishonesty. Haknyeon laughs, but not before placing a quick kiss on your lips. 

“Come on, we can even bring Sunwoo.”

TBZ maknae line reaction to you kissing them suddenly

Juhaknyeon

“Are you sure you have to go to work?”, he pouts, playing nervously with his fingers as you grab at the table blindly for your keys, already in a hurry as you’re flustered from running around the apartment. You hum a quick response before rushing out the door, and he feels his heart trembling from being seemingly ignored. He’s taken aback when he hears the front door open once more as you run over to him, pressing the both of your lips together in a frenzy. Pulling away, he pushes back into the kiss for a few more seconds before smiling. “I thought you had forgotten about me”.

Hwall / Hyunjoon

"Don’t be jealous, you big baby. There’s nobody else in the world I would rather be with than you”, You state as he blushes, hands on his phone to distract himself. You’d had an encounter with an old classmate, and he thought more of it than you did, even going so far as to ask if you were free that weekend. You were quick to tell him that you were happily in a relationship as Hyunjoon returned from grabbing something from another part of the store. As a result, he was pouty the whole way home, and was still even now. You let out a breathy chuckle, grabbing his phone from his hands before tossing it on the bed blindly, climbing up on his lap as he gulps. You gently press your lips to his, tongues molding together sweetly as you taste his breathe through the kiss.You eventually have to part from lack of oxygen, but now he was fully over his little state of jealousy from this afternoon. 

I’m whipped for this man please help 

Sunwoo

“Baby, time to wake up”, You coo sweetly at your sleeping boyfriend, who’s currently sprawled out on the bed, hands bunched up in the sheets as he’s dreaming peacefully. Well, sort of. A few quiet snores leave his lips as you giggle, now hovering over him. You softly kiss his neck, a small noise leaving him as you smile against his skin, now moving to connect your lips with his, and he wiggles a bit before coming to. Blushing just a little and pulling you down to lie atop him on the bed, he half consciously takes over, hands cupping your cheek.

“Good morning to you too”.

Eric

“I’m headed to the store. Is there anything you want me to get you while i’m out?”, He asks as he slips his shoes on. Pretending to think hard, you shake your head no. He chuckles, grabbing his keys and headphones before heading for the front door without giving it much thought. Pouting, you call his name, and he emerges from the hallway moments later, a puzzled look on his face. “Yes baby?”, he inquires, making his way over to you. You grab at the collar of his shirt gently, pressing your lips firmly to his, catching him off guard. Pulling away, he clears his throat to cover up his shy demeanor, making you giggle. 

“I-I’m gonna go to the store now”.

[pinky-dinky-hwall]

Can I get a time stamp with Haknyeon please???? I could really use a pick me up after these pst few days 😭😭

~I just realized I didn’t give a time. Could you do it for [2:41am]??

Awww sure thing!! Thanks for the request, I hope you enjoyed it! - admin Ashten

[2:41 a.m]

The sheets beside you are cold as you wake up alone. Maybe he had just gone to the bathroom, you think. However, soon fifteen minutes passed, then half an hour, then one in full. This is when you decided to get out of bed, padding to the living room in the dark while rubbing your eyes of sleep. Upon entering the room, in view is Haknyeon, fast asleep on the couch, the television playing a random late night sitcom that ended years before. Frowning, you shake his shoulders lightly, and he groans before sitting up.

“I’m sorry I got up, I couldn’t sleep and didn’t wanna wake you up”, he explains, a yawn leaving his lips as you sit in his lap, his hands lazily rubbing your thigh to soothe you. He kisses the side of your head before patting your leg to get up, taking your hand in his instead to go back to bed.
