FIRST OF ALL, 8TURN BEACH EPISODE COMING TO LIFE ???? THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING AUUUGGHH the boys literally NEED an its my turn beach episode cuz itd actually be illegal if there never was one idk 🤷‍♀️ BUT if it never is a thing i can still turn to this and my hopes and dreams will be almost completely fulfilled and that is MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME CUZ THIS IS SO CUUTEEEE

(dedicated 2minz paragraph incoming) this just made me love 2minz even more than i already do like i think i might actually die because haemin picking up everything kyungmin dropped is THE CUTEST THING IVE EVER HEARD OF AND IMAGINED GOODBYE they r literally just so precious and that mention perfectly encompassed it UGHHH i literally cant ur brain is so amazing for thinking of that bye

and all of the rest of the little details like yoonsung and his sand castles LMFAOOOO thats very much valid for yoonsung AND very much you coded AND ALSO the mention of ppl squealing over myunghos abs LMFAOO if i saw him id pull out some binoculars to see closer cuz id be in sheer disbelief of how unreal his abs look like idk … and MINHO HASSLING SEUNGHEON W THE SUNSCREEN LMFAOOO one of the realest things ive read in a while (besides 2minz)

yungyu and yns dynamic has me in a chokehold actually cuz its ADORABLE BYE ugh the mutual teasing is just everything to me and i loved the part where yn tells yungyu to keep the water on his side of the ocean LMFAOO also the moment right before jaeyun tells yungyu and yn to not cause a scene (hes so dadcore its painful) …. omg i got butterflies actually if i were either of them irl i think id die of a heart attack on accident

two words: BEACH! VOLLEYBALL! that is also an essential in the 8turn beach episode like idfc if they play regular volleyball or that bs foot volleyball but VOLLEYBALL ON THE BEACH IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST (i say as ive never played volleyball on a beach before ??? we have to do that when we meet up)

ugh but omg … yungyu admiring reader before she fell asleep … crying emojis it was SO CUTEEEE UGH it had me blushing more than when haemin spoke twice like MAYBBEE it was just a tiny bit creepy BUT ill excuse it cuz its yungyu and he can do no wrong actually

and then when the two WOKE UP ??? UGH i think i developed cavities in my eyes cuz it was so sweet like the ‘scared ur gonna fall in love w me’ then the ‘i cant be scared of sumn that already happened’ SERIOUSLY GOT ME UUHGGHH and the ‘what.’ ‘what?’ parts WERE SO CUTE AND FUNNY and also the sudden kiss when seungheon and minho came to tease them LMFAOO ugh just all the dynamics and interactions were so good I LOVED ITTTT

i am SO happy u wrote the 8turn beach episode cuz u made it perfect LIKE ALWAYS! idk how u think of all of this stuff but its VERY MUCH IMPRESSIVE! u should win a nobel peace prize for this fic idk cuz u solved every world problem w the 8turn beach episode and i will always worship the ground u walk on cuz of this even if ur walking on hot dusty ass sand I AM JUST SO ECSTATIC OVER THIS

idek what else to say like … im out of words actually like 8turn beach episode (omi’s version) took my breath away ITS EVERYTHINGGGGG and i hope it becomes real cuz again NOT having an 8turn beach ep would be quite literally against the law and the ceo of mnh should be arrested for that (by me and u specifically we should just become cops together)

CHEERS TO THE CUTEST BANGERY OMI BANGER OF THE CENTURY! 🥂

SLEEPING UNDER THE SUN

it was the groups day off, meaning there was free range to do anything you guys pleased. when a beach day was recommended, it was happily agreed upon, therefore everyone prepared! when you and yungyu play too hard, you both sit down to relax; unknowing that sleep was creeping on the two of you.

PAIRING lee yungyu x fem!reader WC 2.1k TAGS best friends to lover trope. fluff. minor swearing. beach hangout. reader and gyu tease eachother like a lot. vague description of body. OMI NOTE this imagine has been something i've been dying to write because not only am i madly in love with yungyu, this is literally the scenario i've been dreaming about adhjb he is so precious. this isn't really a blurb but it's definitely not a super long thought out idea so it's not proofread. enjoy the sillies.

the melodic sound of waves washing upon the shore filled your ears. sand beneath your feet was hot, making you speed up slightly as you followed behind the group. everything took you by surprise, the calming atmosphere you weren’t used to, that was about to be completely ruined by the pandemonium of your friends.

at this point, you were unable to get a single word in before minho was running after seungheon and kyungmin was accidentally dropping items one by one while walking to the spot jaeyun chose. haemin followed closely behind, making sure to pick up everything the clumsy boy let fall. you could practically hear him rolling his eyes while kyung walked unknowingly.

all of their excitement was prominent, as it was their weekend off in awhile. it made your lips perk up into a smile, seeing them get to be kids again. however you weren’t one to talk, having been extremely busy as well.

the closer you got, the more you felt the salty breeze blowing through your hair. it covered up the summer heat seamlessly. setting your beach bag and cooler down on the towel that was set up, letting out a long sigh of relief after holding the heavy items.

“y/n ah are you excited?!” yungyu jumped up and down happily.

“i think i might die because i am very excited. i’ve been wanting to come to the beach forever!” you grin, giving off the same energy.

“okay because we better swim out as far as possible into the ocean before yoonsung ropes us into a sand castle competition.” he puts his hand over his eyes to block out sunlight, looking for his hyung that seemed to of disappeared.

“hey, what’s wrong with building sand castles? they’re fun!”

“um because he takes it way too seriously! if there aren’t moats and sand - people in his castle he starts whining like a baby.” 

“good point. let’s go!” you grab his hand quickly and start booking it down the shore, oblivious to the bright shade of maroon that tinted yungyu’s cheeks. it was way too early to get sunburnt, so he couldn’t hide his blush.

“come back soon, we’re gonna prep the net for beach volleyball!” kyungmin says, making the both of you nod in return.

small puffs of sand kicked behind you while you ran, soon replaced by splashes of water. the ocean water was warm, rising from your knees to your chest the farther you went in.

once you were at a comfortable level where the currents were calm and the sun shone brightly above, you let yourself relax. small strands of seaweed swam under the water, tickling your legs

“this is the greatest ever.” you float around calmly.

“somehow i can hear the random passerbys shrieking about myungho’s abs from here.” 

“jealous cause his abs are better than yours?” you wiggle your eyebrows.

“what’s that supposed to mean?!” he furrows his eyebrows.

“hehe i’m just kidding gyu, i like your abs.” you pause for a second, “wait– not in that way! i’m just saying they’re perfectly acceptable!”

“whhh–” 

“um, anyways! do you think seungheon is going to come out with us anytime soon?” you question, looking back at the black haired boy.

“he’s probably being hassled by minho to put on sunscreen so i doubt he saw us come out.” yungyu shook his head still flustered, swimming to get closer next to you.

“speaking of sunscreen, you might need some. you look really red, gyu!” you frown.

“psh– what are you talking about i am totally not red, you’re seeing things.” he splashed some water in your direction to distract you.

“what was that for?!” you splash back, “keep this water on your side of the ocean.”

“bro there is water everywhere.”

“you know what i mean you idiot.”

“oh really? so if i got some of my water on you what would happen hmm?” he teased, scooping some water in his hand to throw at your face. while you failed to shield yourself, some of it got in your mouth.

“yungyu!” you cough, going after him as he started swimming to shore. “i’m a faster swimmer than you are!” he yelled behind him.

you tailed behind yungyu, letting the waves carry you faster towards him and the shore, immediately chasing him as soon as you were free from the ocean. 

“yungyu you loser, get your ass back over here!” you shout.

“get away!”

catching up quickly, you tackle him down into the sand. you sat on top of him, playfully rubbing sand in his hair while he screams for help. 

too caught up in the moment, you didn’t account how your position atop yungyu was oddly romantic; halfway through, you were teasing him out of embarassment rather than actual anger. you heard a voice call out to you, interrupting your innocent giggles.

“y/n! yungyu! you both have to stop making a scene oh my god..” jaeyun waves both of you back.

looking back at the boy beneath you, he’s wearing a sheepish smile. he was panting exhaustedly, letting his arms flop to his sides in defeat. the both of you shared a similar shy expression, now aware of the position you were in.

“ah– i’m sorry gyu i didn’t mean to get carried away..” you swing your leg back over his body and pull him up from the floor.

“no no no it’s okay! we were just teasing eachother it’s fine. giving in so easily?” he jokes, dipping his hand in a wave that washed up and running it through his hair in an attempt to get some sand out.

“never. you look silly with all those speckles in your hair, i’d say it was deserved.” 

“whatever you say. let’s go see what hyung is up to.” he beams, switching in demeanor.

both of you get up from your spot on the sand and walk up to where everyone was hanging out. there were folding chairs set up alongside two umbrellas that were big enough to keep everyone in the shade. 

everyone chat amongst themselves while minho chopped up fruit to share with the group. you sat next to yungyu on a towel and shared watermelon from a little tupperware.

“looks like you guys were having fun.” haemin commented in between bites.

“something of the sorts.” you respond, reaching over to grab another piece of the refreshing snack.

“hey! haemin she’s just mad that she swallowed a little bit of water.” yungyu tells him.

“sixty - six percent of the water in my body is now half salt water, thanks.” you roll your eyes.

“you two argue like a couple.” haemin mentions, before getting up to put his empty container back in the cooler.

like a couple? the though itself made butterflies dance around in your stomach; you quickly darted your gaze away from yungyu, too nervous to look and him and try not to imagine what it would be like to actually be together.

today was slightly off for you, having been made self aware of just how close you and him have been throughout the day. and to add onto it, the day had just begun.

some time passed before everyone grouped up to play some beach volleyball. it wasn’t a group hangout if they weren’t playing on some kind of bet. according to jaeyun, losing team would have to pitch in together to buy ice cream at the end of the day.

this was extremely in character, and you were not planning on losing against them. after the teams were separated, everyone played for awhile.

the game got quite intense, some casual shit talking between both groups. yungyu and jaeyun had that disgusted look on their faces whenever they were met with eachother, only separated by the measly net. this sight made you laugh, taking a mental photo.

after awhile, the scores were practically tied. in the middle of this, everyone decided to take a thirty minute break to re - energize with lunch that was packed earlier in the morning. it was an under statement to say that you were exhausted.

yungyu laid out on a towel that was sheltered by the umbrellas, mindlessly scrolling through his phone. you followed right behind him, letting yourself lay your head on his chest. he was your best friend, and these types of contact were normal in your friendship, however part of you swore you heard his heartbeat quicken.

“are you tired already?” he mumbled above you.

“a little. myungho’s hits are not to fuck with, remind me not to get in a fight with him like.. ever.”

“y/n, anyone here could fold you.”

“i’m too sleepy to fight back with you.” you sigh, letting your eyes close.

“i better not catch you falling asleep, stupid.” he complains sarcastically, while you let out a small ‘mhm’ in response.

at that point, he decides to let you be for a little while. you were the sleepiest person he’s ever known, having the ability to pass out anywhere and everywhere. the rest knew this, and most of the time paying no mind to it.

however, only a few minutes passed before your breathing measured to a steady pace, your face relaxed, and you didn’t feel your damp bathing suit clinging to your body anymore. yungyu glanced down a little and noticed this, poking at your cheek.

he stared at you, letting a smile play on his lips. it was easier to admire you when you weren’t going back and forth teasing eachother. maybe haemin was right, anyone who didn’t look twice would think there was some kind of romantic relationship between the two of you.

and just like you, that was something he hoped for. he just didn’t exactly knew how you felt yet. blissfully unaware, gyu wrapped his arm around you and pulled you closer to him, planting a soft kiss on your forehead. his hand lay in the dip of your waist, fingers slightly ghosting over your elbow as you hugged yourself.

“god i wish you knew how i felt about you.” he said, the only words that left his lips before he let his eyes shut, sleep overtaking him as well.

the feeling of skin against yours became more noticeable as you came out of your sleep spell. feeling groggy, your eyes blink open slowly, immediately being met with the boy you were laying on.

“gyu?!” you shot up, looking around you to see the rest of the boys off playing by the shore, then looking back at him.

“good morning to you too.” yungyu yawned.

“did i seriously fall asleep on you? how long was i out?”

“we weren’t asleep for that long, don’t worry. probably fourty - five minutes at most. “ he checked his phone, confirming his suspicions. 

“shit, everyone is probably waiting for us to start the game.” you groan, rubbing your eyes.

“hey, it’s our day to relax. they probably don’t care and it’s only four thirty.” he mutters, using his arm still snaked around your waist to pull you closer to him.

“ah– when did you get so bold?” you squeak out.

“when i saw how cute you looked cuddled up against me.” he confesses casually.

“what.”

“what?”

“dude you can’t just say that! oh my god my heart..” you cover your face with your hands, embarrassed.

“scared you’re gonna fall in love with me?” he makes a gap between your middle and pointer finger to see your eye.

“i can’t be very scared for something that already happened.” you stutter.

“what.”

“what?”

“okay now you’re doing it! what the hell?!” he whines, removing your hands from your face.

“you started it first you idiot.” you pout, furrowing your eyebrows slightly.

“i’m just trying to get my point across! i was attempting to be suave with it.” he bites down on his bottom lip.

“and what exactly is your point?” 

“that i like you, and best friends don’t exactly do the things that we do.” his voice gets quiet, the atmosphere suddenly feeling heavy.

“yungyu..”

“i’m not trying to ruin our relationship or anything but–” 

“i like you too, yungyu.” you interrupted him.

“i think everyone kinda sorta knew that.” seungheon appeared behind both of you guys, followed by minho. 

the two of you jumped, looking in their direction. they both started laughing at both of your blushing faces. 

“way to interrupt a moment little bro.” yungyu stated before chucking a seashell in his direction.

“you’re growing up too fast you guys, you better not be kissing all the time from now on!” minho lectures.

“oh? like this?” you grab yungyu’s face, leaving a kiss on his lips to poke fun at minho.

yungyu’s eyes go wide, shocked at the sudden contact between the two of you. his fingers move over his lips, still feeling yours ghosting over them.

“gross, not in front of us!” seungheon pleaded, minho covering his eyes in disgust. both of them walked away teasingly, leaving you and gyu alone.

“boyfriend has a nice ring to it, yeah?” you think.

“better than best friend.”

Hi, i'm the anon who asked If u write smut, and wanted to request an 8turn legal line reaction to getting caught making out that would've led to something more but didn't and for the other members (for the ones that aren't legal yet) just getting caught kissing or just making out (without the alter motives)

Srry this is so long but i saw that u write for 8turn so yeh have a good day/night bye-bye<33

# . thanks for the request! took awhile, but i hope you enjoy!

# . pairing : 8turn members x female reader 

# . genre/warnings : suggestive sexual content (minors be warned), fluff, moderate language

# . word count : average 0.1k per member

MYUNGHO: neither of you two knew exactly how it started. all you could remember was myungho returning home to the apartment before his lips ended up on yours. being alone and needy all day, you couldn't help but let the innocent kiss become something more. he sensed this as his hands began to roam under your silk t-shirt. he smirked when it elicited a pretty moan from you. "hey hyung i- oh my god!" yungyu exclaimed, covering his eyes. myungho immediately removed himself from you. "yungyu! what are you doing here?!" myungho asked in surprise, and slight annoyance. still covering his eyes, yungyu replied, "you forgot this," as he threw his sweatshirt at him before exiting as quick as he could. you laughed, "you ruined the child's innocence!" "shut up."

JAEYUN: "can i have a kiss?" you pouted, laying on jaeyun's lap and looking up at him. "jagiya, the members will catch us!" jaeyun countered. "you don't love me," you frowned. "oh stop it," jaeyun rolled his eyes. but one more glance at your puppy dog eyes caused him to cave. "here," he sighed, leaning down to capture your lips in a sweet kiss. but you had ulterior motives, as you gripped his sweatshirt and wouldn't let him go. "y/n-" he mumbled a protest against your lips, but couldn't stop himself when you pulled yourself up to kiss him properly, hands getting a bit naughtier. jaeyun smiled at this. "you're so naughty, aren't you?" "you both are," minho replied. you two froze, glancing over to the guy in the corner of the room. "get a room honestly."

MINHO: you didn't think anything of it when you first got to the dorms. you thought it was a simple movie night with the boys. but when you felt minho's hand slide up your thigh as the other boys got sleepier, you felt a discomfort between your legs. you sucked in a sharp breath, trying to steady your heart. but he noticed and leaned in towards you, kissing your jaw. "need something?" he whispered, quiet enough so the others wouldn't hear. they were too focused on the movie to notice anyway. the second y/n turned her face towards minho, their lips met. she carefully wrapped her arms around his neck as her leg swung over on his lap. "if you start moaning i won't be able to here the movie-" myungho complained. "oops."

YOONSUNG: yoonsung smiled to himself as he saw you making dinner in the boys' dorm's kitchen. you looked so pretty, even with flour on your face and your hair all messy. "little miss chef today huh?" he whispered, his arms wrapping around your waist from behind and his head resting on your shoulder. but this sweet moment didn't last long when he turned you around and surprised you with a passionate kiss. "yoonsung-" you protested, hand on his chest. "what? i know you like it," he teased. his smile was innocent, but the placement of his hands were not. "omg no eww eww eww!" screamed seungheon, quickly exiting the kitchen with a cookie in hand. you two giggled at each other.

HAEMIN: "damn, why do you have to come to my dance practices looking like that?" haemin bit his lip as you walked in with a short skirt and crop top. "because i'm bored," you pouted, head resting in your hands as your elbows rested on the desk haemin was situated at. you took advantage of the fact that your top hung low, giving haemin something to look at. "baby we can't right now," he whined, shifting in his seat uncomfortably as he couldn't tear his eyes off of you. "they'll catch us." "so what if they do?" you smirked, quickly grabbing the collar of his sweatshirt, smashing your lips into his. reluctant at first, he gave in. but all came crashing down when they heard the voice of kyungmin. "hey haemin hyung, you want something to eat or - eww - never mind!"

KYUNGMIN: "kyungminnie?" you asked, holding his hand as you strolled through the park. "yeah?" he tilted his head at you. "what do you think about public sex?" his face flushed, "oh umm, it's... cool i guess," he shrugged. "can we try it?" you asked, looking like an innocent child when you were anything but that. "baby it's fourty-five degrees out here!" he reasoned. "but i need help," you tugged on his shirt. being a very loyal and eager-to-please boyfriend, he gave in. after getting to a more secluded place in the park, he had you pinned against a tree with his lips on yours. "kyungmim, i found you! when you finish - whatever you're doing - we're going to go to the arcade!" haemin announced. "oh well, next time," kyungmin smirked. 

YUNGYU: yungyu was a nervous kisser no doubt. especially when you initiated them. so when you asked him for one while you all were hanging out with the others, he flushed. "right now jagi?" he raised an eyebrow. "yes! you haven't kissed me since last night!" you reasoned. "wow that must be like an eternity for you," he laughed. "whatever you like to tell yourself," you shrugged. looking around to make sure the others weren't looking, you kissed him slowly. yungyu didn't push you away, but instead held your face gently as he tasted your cherry lip balm. "yungyu and y/n, sitting in a tree~" began jaeyun. "stop it!" yelled yungyu, rolling his eyes before kissing you again.

SEUNGHEON: you had absolutely no idea, why your boyfriend has been so clingy. there was no logical explanation you could come up with. but you weren't going to complain. you liked how he'd peck your lips every time he walked by you. and one time, he lingered a bit longer. "seungheon," you laughed against his lips, arms around his neck. "why so lovey today, huh?" you wondered. he only shrugged, holding you a bit tighter. then, you two saw a camera flash out of the corner of your eyes. "omg new wallpaper!" yoonsung giggled. "i swear, you better delete that!" yelled a very flustered seungheon. "what? are you embarrassed of me?" you teased. "of course not silly."

a/n: SOBBB SOB SOB SOB WAAAHHHHHH

Your voice came crackly through his phone speaker, but it couldn't hide the obvious exhaustion in your voice.

“If I randomly stop talking,” you started, being interrupted by a yawn that made him chuckle to himself, “...it’s because I fell asleep.”

He leant down towards his phone propped up on the vocal room keyboard.

“Just sleep now, don't force yourself to stay awake baby.” He responded, his voice soft and light, a very different tone than he was used to using with the guys. There was a reason he called you in the vocal room, after all; the teasing he'd face if they heard his voice while talking to you would be catastrophic.

He could almost hear the blush on your face through your voice, the response he was looking for after using that pet name. He smiled triumphantly to himself, his smirk-like smile revealing half his teeth.

“...N-no…I wanna stay up for you~” You whined sleepily, and he couldn't keep his heart from skipping. “You barely get free time…we need to use all the time we get to talk, Gyu…” He leaned back in his chair at the nickname, staring at the ceiling for a moment as he fought a blush creeping onto his cheeks.

“Yungyu…?” You muttered sleepily.

“Sorry,” he started, taking a breath and leaning closer to the phone again, “I spaced out.” 

Your sleepy giggle that came over the line at his response had him leaning his head on the desk as heat overtook his whole face. Suddenly the small vocal room felt much too warm.

The seconds turned into minutes as he caught his breath, half waiting for you to speak to distract him from the thoughts of holding you in his arms that were infesting his mind. 

“God…I love you…” he blurted out, as if the words themselves were too strong to be kept within his mind. When there was no response, he lifted his head again to whisper into the phone.

“...Baby…?” His own cheeks flared up that time, still not over his fluster only minutes ago. A small smile overtook his face when you didn't respond. “You asleep…?” 

You didn't need to answer, your soft and slowed breathing barely audible through the phone speaker gave him enough of an answer. 

He chuckled lightly, knowing that if one of the members were to walk in right now, the disgustingly smitten look on his face would earn him weeks of teasing.

“Sleep well…” he whispered in a sickeningly sweet tone knowing you wouldn't hear them, but he didn't care.

“I love you.”

THE ERAS SERIES

it was as if you could still smell the salt air, as if you could still feel the sun beam onto your skin. back when he was all you wanted, and there wasn’t anything you needed more. there was nothing that could compare to each word and touch that you shared with him, nor was there anything that came as close to you as yungyu did.

you could still feel the time you were twisted in your bedsheets with him, tangled in his limbs. the sun couldn’t beat the heat that you felt creeping onto your skin, and no breeze compared to each breath of air you shared. you became the closest you could be, and your lips nearly grazed his. you could still remember the words that he whispered into the air:

“are you sure?”

you’d never been more certain in your life, and you’d never take it back. the soft press of his lips onto yours, to the slow thawing of your feelings; both were more than you could ever ask for. it was something you’d never regret, even as you laid in that same bed weeks later, yearning to feel his lips just once more.

you could still see his back beneath the sun, wishing you could write your name on it. at that point in time, you still hadn’t spoken about the days after summer, days in which his sunkissed skin would dull. you could still feel the twist in your expression—the curiosity you had to satisfy.

“will you call when we’re back at school?”

you’d never been more confused in your life when his only answer was a smile. his silence spoke no words, and his grin spoke even less. you remembered making the quick decision to leave it alone, and to stay trapped in the delusion—one where you thought you had him.

then, as quick as it came, august had slipped away, lessening into a moment in time. you were lost in the memory of your misery as september came, and yungyu left. he had given you no warning before he disappeared, and from late august to early september, all you could do was miss him.

as you sobbed beneath the same bedsheets his scent lingered on, you tried to find comfort in the vivid memory of yungyu rushing towards you the moment you fell, hushing your pained sniffles. you remembered his shy smile as he bandaged your cuts, leaving gentle touches along your skin.

your tears could only flood out more, and your skin had absorbed them, just like it did with the rays of the sun. you had remembered the day you forgot your sunscreen, and once the consequence of your mistake caught up to you, yungyu was there. you remembered how he smeared aloe vera on your sunburnt skin, quietly laughing at your slip-up.

unlike then, you couldn’t feel any joy in your pain. it stung, similar to when you’d snagged your skin on a tree branch. then, just like every other occasion, yungyu had come to your aid. you had hissed when he applied the ointment, but he had assured you that it was for the better.

each time you had gotten hurt, yungyu never failed to be by your side. you had believed that—after he fractured your soul—he’d be back to pick up the pieces. you had waited for him, hoped for a call—yet all you got was your unread texts. it was then that his silence finally spoke, and it told you that he was never yours to lose.

you were desperate to let it go—all you wanted was to settle. you figured that wanting should be enough; it had to be enough. yungyu wouldn’t want to give any more than that, so you couldn’t get any more than that. you thought it was as simple as counting to ten, but you simply weren’t able to get it through your head.

you were still stuck, stuck believing that yungyu wouldn’t leave you stranded. you thought that he was bound to come back to you, bound to reignite your summer passion. you weren’t ready to accept the reality, even if you knew that your protective dam of wishful thinking was bound to collapse.

by the time school started, most of your scars from summer tucked beneath bandaids, smothered in aloe vera, and treated with ointment had healed. each trace of your summer had gradually disappeared—save for one wound.

it bled as if it were a fresh cut, yet maroon tears had spilled out of it for weeks. you found that nothing could mend the gash that yungyu had torn into your heart, and you could still feel the sting—only worsening once you caught a glimpse of him.

you watched as he walked into the classroom—heard as he talked with his friends. his smile reflected the sun, and his voice radiated purity. you could never stay mad at him, even if he made your heart ache. you’d always find room to forgive, but you’d never forget all of the memories he shattered.

you knew you had to let go, but you couldn’t find the heart to. you’d sit there gluing the fragments of your summer together until the end of time if you had to. you didn’t care if you needed to pick up the pieces that he wouldn’t; you would do it a thousand times if that meant you’d have at least one chance out of a billion to have him.

part of you still wanted him to want you just as much as you needed him, even if that was all but possible. part of you still believed in the love that never lived—the love that was never true. part of you still lived for the hope of it all—lived for him. part of you was him, even if you ever wanted to believe otherwise.

you stared at the boy who took a piece of you with him, and replaced it with a void that could only chant his name. yungyu had seated himself at a desk near yours, his friends surrounding him. he took in the room, and you followed his gaze as it darted around the space—until it landed on you.

you tried to see in his eyes what you held in your own, desperate to find something, anything that could be more than your own want—but as his eyes left yours without a second glance, he inevitably slipped away into a moment in time.

[8turning]

hi ji!

i was thinking a lot about comfort with yungyu the other day; and i know you don't write for him so i was like hm.. you know who would probably have the best comfort as well ever? minho!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀〈 REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED ! 〉

despair stung your chest from the inside as you watched your ceiling fan spin - perhaps it could hypnotize you for just a moment, allow you to be unaware of your surroundings and feelings long enough to convince yourself everything will get better.

the breeze it created hit your face, drying out your eyes and causing you to inevitably blink away the few tears that formed as a result.

with the simple action, you're brought back to your reality. you exhale slowly, feeling as though the comforter beneath you could consume you whole - maybe that's what you wanted.

your legs bent at the knee on the edge of your bed, hands intertwined against your stomach as your chest shallowly rises and falls. your eyes follow one fan blade subconsciously, the repetitive movement causing your temples to ache.

your brows furrow, and only then do you pull yourself up from your bed, leaning forward on your palms as you look around your dark room. different items of clothing scattered your floor and desk chair, trash overflown with crumpled papers and drink bottles, and your desk illuminated by your laptop, assignment long forgotten in favor of. . . nothing.

you didn't want to distract yourself from your worries - you simply wanted to do nothing. you wanted nothing.

the fan wasn't to blame for the tears that lined your eyes this time; it was your own emotions. the constant pressure to perform well and provide caused you to neglect how you felt - it all boils over eventually. everyone had a limit, perhaps yours was seeing just how awful you were treating your wellbeing; maybe yours was how you saw it all but had no desire to fix it.

you heard a knock sound through your apartment, but you couldn't move; your body wanted to stay still. your breathing remained steady as another knock struck against your door. your phone chimes, it chimes again, then it rings.

you heard it all. you couldn't answer any of them.

another knock. then another chime.

"y/n!"

then a shout from a familiar voice - then a pause.

"i'm gonna break down the door! then i'll have to pay for property damage! so please, just- just let me in!"

the fear of a noise complaint caused your breath to quicken, aching muscles push you up from your spot, heavy footsteps sound through your hallway as if you forgot how it felt to walk any distance further than your desk to your bed.

you swallow thickly before slowly bringing shaky hands to your door lock, the click sounding much louder in your otherwise silent apartment. opening the door, you see minho's worried face, two plastic bags in his hands as a smile grows on his lips.

"hey," he says, glasses perched atop his nose and sounding out of breath from all of his shouting. all you can bring yourself to do is break eye contact with him, looking down just past his shins to the carpeted apartment corridor. "is it okay if i come in?"

his voice is gentle, picking up on the signs of you feeling emotionally unwell. minho's head tilts at his inquiry - you can see such from your peripheral vision. you pause for a moment, and minho waits patiently despite the ache his arms feel from the bags he carried. he watches as you take a step back, allowing him inside.

minho steps in, removing his shoes before walking over to your kitchen and setting the bags down. your counter is lined with dishes and take-out containers - the disarray of your home is obvious, but minho never comments on it.

"have you eaten yet?" he questions, setting down the bags in the only vacant place he could on your counter - the sound of dishes clinking accompanying his voice.

you don't answer, slowly making your way to sit at your dining table.

"i brought some stuff," he continues. part of you felt relief he wasn't probing you to reply to him - you let out a soft sigh. "is ramen okay with you?" minho questions, two containers in his hands as he looks in your direction.

he saw how your eyes were clouded over as you stared down at the floor. through he was worried, he knew you'd open up once you were ready. and so, minho decides to take the quicker route, filling both containers with water before putting them into the microwave.

the dull hum filled the air, and a pang of guilt washed over you as your eyes flick over to minho's form, his hands carrying your dishes into the sink and tossing trash into the bin.

this wasn't for him to clean, but he did so with no complaints.

your eyes felt heavy, shoulders slumped over as you took little care in keeping your posture straight. the sound of your faucet running could be heard, a paper towel being torn and the sound of disinfectant being sprayed followed it. the artificial smell of lemon did not pair well with the ramen broth that was being cooked, but you didn't say a word.

minho was quick to switch out the cooked ramen for the other, allowing the completed one to sit on the counter for a few minutes too cool off.

he continued to clean up your space, sink filling with bubbles as he soaks your used dishes, tossing the used towel into the bin before straightening out what was on your countertop, turning off your faucet in the process.

the microwave beeps for the second time; your eyes close and nose scrunch at the piercing noise. he removes the second container, copying the same routine he had before.

you can see how he approaches you, placing the first container in front of you along with utensils before grabbing his own, sitting across from you.

you stare blankly at the lid, the translucent plastic now fogged over from steam as minho pulls out his phone, scrolling as he waits for his own meal to decrease in temperature.

your hands fidget under the table, disconnecting from one another to carefully remove the lid of the ramen. your met with a wonderful aroma, and although you didn't show such in your expression, you were pleased with this choice of a meal.

minho's eyes raise from his phone as he watches you cautiously grab for your utensils - his heart aches seeing how shaky you were, your energy alarmingly low.

he watches you for a moment - watches as you bring some ramen to your lips and take a small bite. you chew slowly then swallow, and minho feels a weight being lifted from his shoulders when you go in for another bite.

shutting off his phone, he slides it back into his pocket slowly, not wanting to startle you from any sudden movements. you hear as he begins to eat himself, a pleased sigh leaving his nose at the first bite.

"i'm a good cook, aren't i?" he jokes with his mouth half full, watching as the smallest of smiles appears on your face, falling soon after. but to minho, that was a win.

you both continue in silence, minho trying to match your pace in eating as best he could so he could keep watch of you longer. although his efforts, he finished before you, tossing his ramen container into the trash before standing at your sink.

your faucet turns on once more, minho rolling up his sleeves to his elbows before reaching into the water bath he created prior. he was careful in washing your dishes, and with newfound energy, your eyes flicked over to where he stood.

your gaze remained on the back of his head, the purple in his hair a bit more faded than the last time you saw him. he groans as water slashes on his shirt, a soft laugh escaping your nose, and it was then when you understood that you didn't need hypnosis to realize things will get better.

you were worthy of being cared for, both by others and by yourself. you shouldn't have to live dreadfully just because that's what you think you deserve. you felt guilty for assuming minho cared so little for you when he's only ever shown you love and gratitude.

your chest ached, no longer from muscle pain but from grief - eyes watering, breathing becoming increasingly unsteady as you plant your palm against the table, pushing yourself up from your seat and approaching your friend.

your arms cautiously wrap around his torso loosely - the sound of water running making your footsteps unintelligible to him. your temple rests between his shoulder blades, and you can feel as his head turns to try and see you from his position.

minho turns around in your grasp, hands soaked in water and lingering bubbles as he raises them away from you. his heartbeat is heavy against your ears, quick and uneven as he processes your shift in emotion. tears soaked his shirt and minho tuned out the sound of water running behind him.

"y/n- are you-" he was at a loss of words, eyes wandering around your apartment before reaching the top of your head once more. "can i hug you?"

he was unsure if that's what you wanted, especially when his hands were covered in water, but when he hears you mumble a simple, "yes, please," - the first time you had spoken to him tonight - it was more than enough.

you feel the cold water against your back as he wraps his arms around you, but you didn't care. your fingers bunch minho's shirt into your fists, holding onto him tightly - he could feel how uneven your breathing was.

"i got you," he says, leaning his back against the countertop, allowing you to rest against him. "i got you. . ."

your eyes close, tears drying against your cheeks as you take a deep breath. minho's fingers draw circles against your back - you hear as he begins to hum, the vibration buzzing against your temple.

you had half-the-brain to decipher the melody, instead choosing to let it calm your thoughts - this remedy proved to work well.

after a few beats of silence, you find the strength to speak again. "th-thank you for be-ing here," you whisper, voice broken as it was the first time you had spoken in days.

"of course i'd be here," minho replies, his volume matching yours as he reaches an arm around him to turn off the faucet. "go rest, okay? i'll take care of everything here," he continues, pushing himself off of the counter but keeping you closely pressed to his chest.

the walk to your room was almost impossible, walking backwards and not being able to see definitely made the commute much more interesting. minho made no comments about the state of your room, sitting you on your bed and making sure you tucked yourself away under the covers before he left to continue his work in the kitchen.

there was a small feeling of shame in having someone else clean your space for you - its a very vulnerable position, but minho allowed you to show your vulnerabilities without judgement. although you never wished to get to a point where he needed to take care of you, you knew he would do it again all in a heartbeat.

minho would take care of you as many times as you needed to be, because no matter what you're dealing with, you deserve to feel loved.

Today was a day you knew you'd remember for years even if you and Yungyu were no longer together. The morning started out amazing with you and Yungyu getting free breakfast plus free pastries a few hours later the sun started setting the two of you were sat on his floor eating the pastries

"YN open" Yungyu said putting a bite of macha cake Infront of you, his smile grew wider and his cheeks dusted with a light shade of pink when you took the bite off his fork "thanks" you giggled a light shade of pink covering your cheeks. After your snack break the two of you cleaned up your mess, Yungyu brought up the idea of going to the park

"You sure? Isn't it kinda late?" You asked looking out the window "come on! It'll be fun!!" Yungyu said pulling you towards the door you giggled at his excitement "wait" Yungyu said before bending down and grabbing your shoes "what-" you looked down confused at his actions before you could question father Yungyu started putting your shoes on you

Your body felt like it was on fire, Yungyu looked up after tying your shoes "your so cute when you blush" he giggled pinching your cheeks "ouch!" You said swatting his hands away "ok! Let's goo!!" Yungyu said dragging out the 'o' "your so weird" you teased following him out the door "I'm not weird your just boring" he said turning his face up facing away from you

"Or maybe I'm normal and your weird" you shrugged "you! Normal!" Yungyu said whipping around to face you "your super duper far from normal" he giggled grabbing your hand, not long after the two of you made it to the park, "come!" Yungyu said pulling you towards the empty grass in response you looked at him confused "dance with me" he said "but there's no music" you said awkwardly

"There doesn't have to be" he pulled your hands so you stood closer to him "gyu!" You said almost falling "let's slow dance" he said "but we don't know how" you said "that's ok we can just go with the flow of things" he said a small smile growing on his face "fine" you sighed his smile grew wider

The two of you slow danced in your own unique way tripoing over one another but having fun the once quiet park was filled with laughter. You and Yungyu were on the grass laughing from falling over one another when you two felt cold water pouring from above the two of you "we didn't bring jackets or an umbrella" you gasped

"Well....were already soaked" Yungyu said

The two of you sat on the now wet grass in silence for a minute or two before bursting out in laughter "wait let's dance again" Yungyu said pulling you up and dusting the wet grass off you. This time around the two of you got into a better rhythm the laughing died down into soft lovesick giggles

"Yn" Yungyu whispered the both of you stopping your movements "can I kiss you?" He asked, voice barely above a whisper in response you slightly nodded your head, the both of your lips met in the middle, both of your bodies felt like they were experiencing a new universe, your hearts were beating so fast and loud you were sure people around could hear it

The two of you pulled away when a need for air became over bearing, the two of you put your foreheads together eyes still closed catching your breath a minute or two later the both of you pulled away from one another, your eyes met before the two of you bursted out in a lovesick giggle one again "we should go home" Yungyu said calming from giggling fit "your right were gonna get sick" you said grabbing his hand

Indeed you were right the two of you caught a cold but got to stay together for longer so was it really so bad?

Hello, world!

I'm back after a little while.. I've been feeling stressed and anxious quite a bit recently, the expectations on me are high and it's really taking a toll on me.. I've been meddling around with a thought that maybe it's really time to give a psychiatrist a visit. I really need help because it's getting unbereable being in my headspace. The problem is, I don't have the guts nor the physical ability to ask for it myself. My social anxiety's been acting up so much recently to the point I've almost completely isolated myself from society.. I don't have any friends who could get me out of this and my parents always dismiss my cries for help and I can't open up to them about this. Chat, am I cooked? (Probably-) The only thing keeping me sane and distracted from my own struggles right now is Park Gunwook, Lee Yungyu, Oh Hyeontae, War Wanarat and Vice Captain Hoshina Soshiro 😗

I'm sorry for this blob of a rant (if anyone's ever even reading it lol) but I really needed to let it out somewhere where I feel a tiny bit safe(?) and where I feel like no one would judge me (or even if they would, they don't really know me personally so-). If anyone knows how to help with my struggling (if there's even a way of helping, I'm kind of loosing hope), please feel free to contact me and let me know (I don't bite, I promise, I'm just lonely, depressed and lost in life..) or if you just want to talk to talk, I'm here for it c:

Including a song I've learnt the dance to recently to make this post less miserable- Oh and have a nice day, possible reader!!

Yours goofy,

Ruby 🍉

FRESH HUGS AND LAUNDRY SHEETS

yungyu was constantly working hard into the night to practice lyrics or come up with something new. because of this, it was hard to make time for things such as laundry. with nothing but a smile on your face, you take care of these tasks for him, being awarded with many cuddles once he gets home!

PAIRING lee yungyu x gn!reader WC 1.1k TAGS tooth - rotting fluff. petnames : baby, cute. no pronouns mentioned. OMI NOTE my baby </3 writing him was a tad difficult but i think i got it.

there were some nights for yungyu that always ran long. ever since their recent debut, he worked tirelessly to write lyrics and practice his rapping. this hard work and dedication was always something you admired the most about him. 

but before he was your boyfriend, he was your closest friend. during the days of bom. you were always there. to comfort him after a difficult evaluation, to clear his mind from a hard dance.

you worked just as hard to make sure he was taken care of and had lots of snacks to eat. sometimes, you’d even show up just so you could be in his presence. 

jaeyun was always grateful for you to look out after him, but you told him not to mention it. managing seven boys wasn’t an easy feat, but with you, yungyu’s mind was always at peace; so jaeyun knew he didn’t have to worry too much.

of course, since yungyu was one of their maknaes, a lot of teasing followed. it was given, yet you didn’t mind all too much.

“ah, you grow up so fast yungyu! now you won’t rely on your hyungs anymore…” minho teased, seeing the two of you sat in the corner of the dance room together one day.

“hyung!” yungyu laughed nervously, “go bother seungheon, i bet he’s on call with that person he likes right now.”

minho smiled fondly, leaving you guys to go mess with seungheon before leaving back to the dorms.

everyone was so sweet to you, and it truly felt like you were welcomed into their little family. and this night was no different.

you had stopped by when the sun slowly began to disappear. the moonlight was soon overtaking the dark blue sky. after fidgeting with your spare key to their dorms, you came inside and took off your shoes to put them on the rack by the door.

“y/n, hi!” yoonsung greeted you from the couch as soon as you entered.

“hi hi! what’s up? where is everyone right now?” you questioned, plopping down on the couch next to him.

“i was just catching up on a kdrama! haemin is in his room doing whatever he’s doing and jaeyun and minho just left to pick up takeout.” 

“do you know when yungyu will be back tonight?” you tilt your head with curiosity.

“you guys are so adorable, but honestly i’m not sure. him and seungheon were out late last night as well.” he frowns holding a joking hand up to squeeze his heart. “my best guess is three hours.”

“they work too hard for their own good. i’m going to go hang out in yungyu’s room then okay?” you told him, earning a thumbs up before he unpasued his show. 

when you opened the closed door to him and seungheons shared room, you let out the longest sigh imaginable. there were piles of laundry everywhere on yungyu’s side, which ultimately decided what you were going to be doing for the next three hours.

being an idol makes it difficult to do daily (and necessary) tasks to maintain a clean environment, so you did understand. and in all honesty, you didn’t care at all. you loved taking care of yungyu. it was almost like an award everytime he came home to see you and kiss all over your face.

with that, you made yourself busy organizing the different colors of his clothes, making separate piles on the floor. you carried the heavy load to the washing machine, accidentally letting a few socks slip by your grasp as you throw it in. 

you flip the cap up on the detergent to pour it in, letting the citrus smell engulf you. as you continued doing so, making sure all of his clothes get an equal cleaning, you waited patiently in the laundry room for things to finish.

it didn’t take too long for you to transfer the wet load into a dryer with a sheet that would ensure a nice scent. you became very jumpy and excited because you love the warmth of fresh laundry. very easy to fall asleep in.

while you waited, you went back into the room to pick up a few things lying on the floor and change into one of yungyu’s shirts. he loved when you wore his clothes, and you loved the flustered reaction it got out of him. 

making your way back, you take the load and quickly fold everything to put away nicely. you also set out an outfit for him to wear for the next day. once you felt satisfied, you fall onto his bunk with a cozy blanket that just came out of the dryer. 

time passed quickly in the comfort of his bed, that you didn’t even notice when he came home. your head registered voices, but not his.

when yungyu saw you passed out in his questionably clean room, he smiled brightly. leaning on his knees at your side, he shook to wake you up. your barely audible babbles and his clothes hanging off your shoulder made him melt. “baby you look so cute, did you do all of this for me?” he cooed, moving your hair out of your face to kiss your cheek.

“of course..” you mumbled, “i cleaned up while i waited for you, did yoonsung tell you i was going to be here?”

“thank you baby, it really does mean a lot to me. hyung was asleep on the couch when i got home. i just went straight to the bathroom to shower anyways.”

you hummed softly, opening grabby hands for him to embrace you. he climbed next to you, letting your figure get comfy against his.

“have you eaten anything?” he asks, hugging you close. “i ate a bit earlier, wasn’t very hungry.” you whispered against his chest, the feeling of it rising up and down lulling you to sleep again.

“that’s good. seungheon and i worked on a lot tonight so we’ll probably take a day off tomorrow after morning practice.” he told you, rubbing the sides of your arm. “do you want to come with us to the studio?”

“mhm i will.” you close your eyes, leaning into him.

“okay baby, you can go to sleep now.” he plants a kiss on your pouty lips, still a bit blushy from the warmth.

you were always glad to do acts of service for yungyu, he worked so hard, and most definitely deserved it. as you squeeze your body against him, you become familiar with the scent of his body wash still clinging against his freshly washed skin. 

his hands interlock with yours, and you feel happy to be held by him in the comfort of fuzzy blankets that embody citrus laundry sheets.

GOOD LITTLE GIRL

sometimes it felt like you were in a completely different world than yungyu. others called him bad, but you could hardly believe that. everything inside of you wanted to figure him out.

DISTANT LANDS AND OTHER ADVENTURES series

PAIRING lee yungyu x fem!reader WC 2.3k TAGS classmates to lovers. school au. bad boy yungyu. minor cussing. OMI NOTE this might be one of my favorite things i've written.. ever? i'm so soft for gyu, and his bad boy persona honestly takes the cake i don't know. this plot kind of reminds me of 'she fell first, but he fell harder.' also i might've snuck a ddlc reference in here w my multifandom ass..

immortality is a concept that defines eternal life, incapability of dying. and while in your world it didn’t exist, word about him never died. there were always rumors, people telling you that getting involved with him would ruin the perfect idea of yourself. despite this, it only intrigued you more.

school was alway the main source of gossip and other immature problems, half of it being completely untrue. word spread like wild fire, even when it didn’t make sense. so why was everyone so sure that lee yungyu was this bad influence? there were times when it was best to stay behind and not involve yourself in the uproar.

though you couldn’t help but stare, unable to figure him out. the corner of his mouth crinkling whenever he smiled, how he’d always do a peace sign when posing for photos. for the most part, maybe it was less about figuring him out, and more about just admiring the boy.

a stupid class crush wasn’t something you’d admit to, he never talked to you; and your closest friends convinced you that you must’ve been a lucky one. 

but out of the corner of his eye, he always saw you staring. it wasn’t a secret to him that there was this odd curiosity peaking out of your skull. if anything, it was the final push to get him to talk to you.

it was an early morning, the trees outside were beginning to bloom this april. you always thought it was the prettiest time of the year, pink and white flowers littering the long branches. a lot of the time, arriving to classes early gave you a sense of responsibility.

the air was calm, and you could focus better on any assignments you might’ve missed the night before. there were a few stragglers here and there, making the classroom less empty on these occasions. yet you appreciated when it was just yourself.

today was no excuse. all of your things were sprawled out on your desk while you busied yourself in your notebooks. responding to questions that were left unanswered on your worksheets, planning out the rest of your day, and listening to the soft knocks on the door in front of you.

wait, knocks on the door in front of you?

the knob turned slowly as lee yungyu poked his head inside to search around. not a single teacher was in sight, though there was a cute girl sitting at one of the desks, staring at him wide eyed. his expression softened upon seeing you with all your stationary spread out.

he let himself in, letting the door quietly shut behind him. at first, you were confused why someone like him was in school at this hour. wasn’t being super late with some comedic timing apart of his whole brand? it was new, but you tried to act like you weren’t shocked.

resuming what you were originally doing, it was in your best attempt to ignore the boys presence. clicking the end of your pen, you continue to scribble nonsense on your paper. though it became almost impossible as you heard the sound of a chair dragging across the floor.

looking up from the desk, his dark eyes met yours. but in retrospect, he was nothing near intimidating up close. he sat himself down and smiled at you before he spoke.

“hi, you must be y/n, right?” your name flowed off his tongue perfectly, sending a small shiver down your spine.

“ah.. yes. you’re lee yungyu.” you respond shyly.

“oh? so you know me as well then.” yungyu smirked, crossing his arms atop the table.

“well, you’re nothing short of infamous in school.” you mention, making him quirk an eyebrow.

“word gets around too quickly here. the school year barely started.” he sighed, leaning back in his chair.

“there isn’t much else to expect from our classmates. i could only imagine what you’ve heard about me.” 

“i’ve heard nothing but good things.” he told you, “you’re too innocent to get yourself into any trouble.”

“what’s that supposed to mean?” you question.

“nothing! i was just saying.”

“right..”

“you know, we’re not strangers anymore. so how about friends?” he proposes out of the blue.

“huh? why so suddenly?” you tilt your head like a lost puppy, only earning a light laugh from him.

“i’ve seen you staring at me. it only made me more curious about you.” he admits, making your heart drop to your feet, “it’s cute.”

“cute..?” 

“i said what i said. so, friends?” 

“okay, friends.” you agree hesitantly, tapping your fingers on the desk.

“great. how about you come with me to yoonsung hyung’s party in the woods tonight and hang out? heard it was gonna be pretty cool.” he asks.

“yoonsung? as in student council yoonsung?”

“that’s him.”

“i didn’t think he threw parties like that.” you mumble, thinking about the responsible boy.

“are we talking about the same yoonsung? he loves planning things, and i’d like to say we’re pretty close.” he tells you, picking up one of your pencils.

“that’s interesting then.” you comment, “i didn’t know the two of you were friends.” 

“you must not have been stalking me hard enough then.” he jokes, drawing little stars on your notebook.

“hey!”

“i’m just teasing you. you don’t have to be so tense around me. though i am shocked you agreed to hang out with me.”

“i didn’t exactly agree to anything yet, yungyu.” you claim, erasing his stars.

“i know you’re going to say yes to me.” he looks at you intently, almost as if he’s trying to brainwash you into agreeing.

“maybe if i could get this work done by the end of the day.” you grumbled.

“boring. what are you working on anyways?” he picks up your paper to read the print, it was a rough draft of something you were writing.

“the writing homework we were assigned yesterday. i was just trying to finish it up but i haven’t liked what i’ve made so far.” you groan, snatching the paper out of his hands

“if you try so hard to make things perfect, you won’t make much progress. just write things down and fix it up later.”

“that.. that is actually pretty inspiring. aren’t you supposed to be some bad guy?”

“what did you want me to do? rip up your paper and tell you how shit of a job you were doing?” 

“okay, i didn’t mean it like that–”

“y/n!” a voice called out to you, sounding very obviously distressed.

two girls appeared in the classroom, sliding the door open with ease upon seeing you with yungyu. they look almost scared for you, and after the short conversation you’ve had with your new friend, you see no reason as to why. 

you glance back from your friends to him, and all he does is grin at you. ‘that’s my cue’ he mouths silently, barely peaking a whisper.

he sits up from his seat while the girls rush towards you. in the middle of this, he takes his hand and swipes your pencil pouch on the floor, watching as all the pastel highlighters and pen scatter on the floor.

“see you tonight, y/n.” he slings one of his backpack straps over his shoulder, leaving you with your friends.

“what were you doing hanging out with him?” one frowns, kneeling down to help pick up your things.

“if he was bothering you i can tell a teacher! he’s bad news..” another one whines, squeezing your cheeks to make sure you’re okay.

“i’m fine guys, don’t worry.” you mutter, sliding out of your chair to gather the remains of your materials on the floor.

“i hope you didn’t let him convince you to go to that party.”

“our y/nnie is too kind to turn someone down, but it’s for your own good..”

was all of this for your own good? their words were like knives, only deepening the cut of curiosity. everyone called him bad, but you could hardly believe that. the past thirty minutes were living proof that there was so much more to him.

regardless of their words, you felt determined to go with him to that party. there was a high chance it would help you figure out who he really was behind this twisted persona people made of him.

the forest was dark and empty, only a small beacon of light in the distance that you walked towards. there was no saying why you let a boy you had only met mere hours ago lead you through the towering trees. 

leaves crunched below your hesitant feet, the only evidence that a living body has been through these depths. the grip yungyu had on your hand was almost enough to be scared of him, but it was mostly reassuring. he just didn’t want to lose sight of you.

as the party grew near, sparkling string lights weaved their way through the branches. they glistened in your eyes like stars. the chatter of people grew more audible, and before you knew it, the scene overwhelmed you.

food, drinks, a boom box, and a multitude of your classmates all gathered to have a fun time. your first party didn’t seem as scary as your friends drawn it out to be, and his presence didn’t make it any less intimidating.

“this looks fun, come on.” he pointed out, taking you farther into the crowd. 

“there’s so many people here.” you add, making your way through the large group of party - goers.

“wouldn’t expect much less from yoonsung. he knows everybody.”

you replied with a nod, still holding onto his cold hand. there was a small spot amongst everyone in the middle, where you both stayed put. 

people were dancing along to the music, similar to the way the flowers swayed against the wind in the spring time. suddenly, he unlaced his fingers from yours and placed them on his shoulders, snaking his own around your waist.

“do you dance?” he says quiet enough only for you to hear.

“ahm.. not really, i’ve never been good at it.”

“then follow my lead.”

“oh– okay!” you stammered, making him giggle at your obedience.

“eager, aren’t we?” he mentioned casually, “you know that i’m bad, yet you’re spending the night with me.”

“you’re the one that invited me out, stupid.” you pout, looking away from him.

“but you still couldn’t keep your eyes off of me, could you?” his hold around you tightened, pulling you closer to him. a blush crawled its way across your face.

“it wasn’t even like that!”

“what do you want from my world anyways? you’re just a good little girl.”

“and you’re supposed to be a bad little boy? that’s what you act like, but i don’t buy a second of it.” you argue playfully, “and even if you were like that, why do you want to hang out with me?”

“jeez, picking a fight with me already? i’m bad, but definitely not little.” he bites his tongue.

“not a fight, just trying to figure you out.” you admit, letting your tone turn slightly serious.

“what’s there to know when everything you’ve heard about me is probably true anyways?” he scoffs.

“that you make girls run away sobbing? that you graffitied the principals car over break? that you used to be some kind of bully?” you reply, “or maybe do you have feelings like everyone else and just don’t know how to handle them?”

“god, that got deep.” he laughed nervously, “you might be the realest person i’ve ever met.”

“you’re not so bad, you know.”

“not so bad? you barely even scraped the surface, it’s not something i have to try at. you on the other hand..”

“i’m not trying to be bad, yungyu. i’m hanging out with you because you’re my friend now, right?”

“from stalkers to friends to lovers, sounds like some weird fanfiction.” he teases.

“when are you gonna let that go?!” you grumble, letting your head fall forward into his chest.

“i’ll let it go whenever we get to that last part.”

“pfft.. what…?” you try to play it off.

removing your head from the spot on his chest, he’s already peering down at you; glancing from the plump of your lips back to your eyes. he moves a hand to place on your crown, gently forcing your head to tilt upwards to look at him.

and from all the things you’ve heard about yungyu, the one true thing was that eye contact with him could kill. it made you squirm in your spot against him, feeling a weird tension in your soul.

“you have a thing for me, it’s kind of obvious.”

“oh my god don’t say that out loud! it’s already weird that i’m here with you” you squeal, covering his mouth with your palm.

“so you’re not denying it?” his words are muffled.

“why do you always say such confusing things?! i don’t know if i like you yungyu, we’ve barely been talking for a full day.” you take your hand away with furrowed eyebrows.

“you know, you influenced me to pay closer attention to you. i guess you could say it gave me the crushes, i just wanted to see if you’d admit you had them too.” he confessed.

“you’re crazy, gyu.”

“am i really, though?” he muttered, tilting your chin to angle himself inches away from you. 

it made you freeze up, a weird whirlwind of emotions floating throughout your stomach to make you sick. there weren’t enough synonyms for flustered that you could think of, but you didn’t pull away.

why didn’t you pull away?

the answer was that you couldn’t, after scrutinizing him for months, he was finally in front of you where you wanted him. and that made you realize how simple everything was, laid out perfectly after playing your cards right. 

he was a person, and people are weird. they’re compelled to do crazy shit, and yungyu wasn’t an exception, you understood this.

when you didn’t flinch, nor wiggle in an endeavor to escape, he closed the small gap between you two. it was only a few seconds, not a single person nearby paying any attention. but the spark you felt was so real.

“wanna admit it now?” he smiles, pulling away from the heat of your lips.

“in your dreams, lee yungyu.”

DISTANT LANDS AND OTHER ADVENTURES series

[minkkumaz]

ALL GUMMED UP INSIDE

no matter how hard seungheon tries, the hole in his heart grows deeper as you feel almost unreachable. small mistakes that grow into awkward situations. but he just doesn't know how much you like him too.

DISTANT LANDS AND OTHER ADVENTURES series

PAIRING lee seungheon x fem!reader WC 2.6k TAGS adults dni. friends to lovers trope. school au. fluff. mutual pining. crying. angst if you squint. cussing. they're extremely clueless. like very clueless. OMI NOTE this series keeps producing bangers i literally could not giggle any more right now. i'm sososo proud of this so i hope all the minors (adults pls get out u weirdos) in the 8turn fandom are fed.

a void deepened in the confines of seungheon’s body, inching closer and closer to his soul. as if a foreign substance called love crawled its way to strangle him when he was most vulnerable. this feeling was constantly recurring, consuming him whole.

seeing the way your lips perked up into a fond smile when you heard a funny joke, throwing your head back in a fit of giggles. the crinkles on your forehead appearing when there’s a math question you don’t quite understand. it was impossible to look away.

of course, the endless teasing from his hyungs never faltered, but in a way he was too entranced to care. every emotion he felt was worth it to continue seeing you exist. the only shame being the mixed signals you sent. being unable to determine if the touch of your hands was a delusion, or if the spark existed.

every move he made felt like another mistake, staring hopelessly into your clueless eyes. it wasn’t you’re fault that you couldn’t catch on, but you weren’t completely oblivious. you felt it to, but random incoherent babbles came out instead of a clear ‘i like you too’

“why haven’t you just told her yet instead of trying to drop hints?” yungyu questioned, snapping seungheon out of his staring contest with the door.

“it’s not that easy dude. you’ve never had a girlfriend before, let alone a crush!” he whined, burying his face in his hands.

“you’ve never had a girlfriend either! i’m just saying if she hasn’t picked up on anything you should just flat out tell her.” yungyu suggests, ruffling the boys hair.

“i’m better off asking minho or haemin for help.” he groaned in annoyance.

“trust me, they’re going to tell you the exact same thing. take it or leave it.”

seungheon rolled his eyes, throwing a worn out eraser in his friends direction. the two boys had always been close, basically embodying a brotherly - like bond. when he wasn’t with you, he was stuck to yungyu’s side. though when all the fun passed by, he knew gyu meant well. 

the weight of staring at the door, hoping you’d pop in soon, was slightly lifted off his shoulders for the mere second he was distracted. love influenced him in mysterious ways, almost making him feel silly. was this love, or an idiotic perception to mess with his head? despite this, he appreciated the first conclusion a bit more. the sound of a door sliding open interrupted his thoughts suddenly.

when you saw him, your face visibly lit up. an award - winning smile appeared on your lips as you entered all the way into the classroom. you were slugging around a heavy bag on your back, looking as if you could almost topple over. stumbling in your black mary janes, you rush to seat yourself in the empty desk next to him.

“heonie!” you inhale and exhale quickly, dropping your backpack on the floor next to you and practically falling into your seat.

“good morning, y/n!” he greets you, mood immediately much brighter after seeing you, “why such a load?”

“it’s the first day of school! and i might’ve gone overboard with school supply shopping this year?” you shrug, “but look at all these cute pencils!”

you unzip your stationery pouch, pulling out an assortment of colorful led pencils with different patterns and little animals. one of them had a cute panda with puffy cheeks on the side, with a little charm to top it all off.

“here, i got this one for you.” you take his hand suddenly, placing it in his palm. your touch was warm, sending fireworks up his arm.

“for me? i already went school supply shopping, y/n, you really didn’t have to!” he fidgets with it in his fingers.

“well yeah, but i have a matching one!” you hold out another animal themed pencil in front of his face, “see? now it can be special to you.”

“thank you then!” he grinned sheepishly, clicking the end of it to watch the led protrude from cone at the top. 

“y/n, why didn’t you get me a cute pencil?” yungyu complained jokingly from the other side of seungheon’s desk.

“get a grip yungyu, you know i like heon more than you.” you scowl at him.

and on the other side of the spectrum, you and yungyu had a playful rivalry. everything was light hearted one hundred percent of the time, feeling the need to fight for seungheon’s attention. while he knew it was all friendly, his breath grew unsteady and his face began to burn at your words. 

“ouch.” yungyu smirked, giving seungheon a very dramatic wink before trying to go back to whatever he was doing. 

“ask yoonsung for matching stationery or something.” you recommend him.

“maybe he’ll get us some pens on top of that, better step up your game–” the loud blare of a school bell cut him off, initiating the start of classes.

turning your head from him, you took out the rest of your supplies and notebooks just in case you needed to write anything down. the rest of your classmates did the same as the teacher followed in shortly. you nudged the side of seungheon’s leg with your shoe, making him look in your direction.

‘lunch later?’ you mouthed sweetly, making him nod happily in response.

class was always a bore, long lectures giving you the most insufferable headaches ever. the teachers voice being toned out by any thought that decided to surface in your brain. each student almost looked like they were going to pass out, first days of school were like that sometimes. it was either basic instruction that you’ve already heard hundreds of times, or a review quiz.

what you mainly looked forward to in the day was lunch, like many others. this was when you got to spend most of your time with seungheon during the school day. your stomach fluttered with joy (and hunger), getting flashbacks to times when you’d sit closely to share a meal.

everyone filed out into the hallways, rushing to get to the cafeteria in time for the best food options. grabbing your backpack, you rustle through your things in search for your lunchbox. yet alas, that attempt was proven worthless as it was nowhere to be found. a groan left your throat, making your friend look over.

“did you forget your lunch at home again?” seungheon asked you, standing up from his desk.

“bro yes, how come i always do this?! that’s so lame i packed something so yummy too..” you grumble, begrudgingly slipping your arms into the sleeves of your backpack.

“jeez how can you be so adorable sometimes.” he said under his breath.

“you better be whispering about how to solve my lunch problem.” you quirk an eyebrow.

“i’ll just buy you lunch, so don’t worry about it.” he offers.

“aww heonie.” you cheer internally, “you’re too cute. i’ll make sure to pay you back tomorrow, pinky promise.” 

“no it’s fine! i uh– enjoy taking care of you, so really, don’t even think about it.” he acts casually, despite his marathon - winning heartbeat.

“ah.. thank you then.” you say flustered, darting your eyes to the floor.

awkwardness soon surfaces, covering the two of you in a blanket of silence. both of your heads were reeling, trying to comprehend what flirting was and if that conversation was anything close to that. naivety often caused problems between emotional teenagers, and you were no exception.

he enjoyed taking care of you, those words rang through your head like an insufferable telephone. maybe he cared for you more than you perceived him to.

“right, let’s go before they run out of your favorite.” he breaks the tension in the air.

“wait they have my favorite today?” you perk up.

“wouldn’t want you to miss it.” he walks in front of you towards the door, leaving you to catch up behind him.

running over to meet his side, the two of you make your way down the halls to ease your hunger. you’re shoulder to shoulder with him, arms bumping together occasionally, sometimes pinkies. to you, it was mundane being this close to seungheon, but it made you feel like you needed to scream into a pillow.

the cafeteria was bursting with conversation, everyone with their established friend groups and a few lonely stragglers. still following closely behind the boy, you quickly grabbed lunch and sped off to your designated spot with trays in hand.

it was a secluded place, close to the field but not far from the school. shaded off by tall trees, leaves threatening to fall from the branches and be replaced with pungent flowers. you sat criss cross on a bench, flattening your skirt with the palms of your hands appropriately.

“i’m so hungry i could eat a whole building right now.” you rip off the plastic covering your utensils, crumpling it up and placing it under your tray.

“hey slow down, or else you’ll choke.” he cautions as you dig into your food.

“worried you’ll have to pull a heimlich on me?” you say with your cheeks stuffed.

“well i don’t want to but if i have to.” he furrows his eyebrows, making you giggle. 

“you’re dumb heonie, i won’t die in front of you. i’ll probably look funny and that’s embarrassing.”

“the thing you’re worried about isn’t dying, but looking weird?” he laughs, “you’re really pretty either way, that shouldn’t be much of a concern you know.”

“pretty..?” your breath hitches slightly, the tips of your ears already beginning to burn up. 

“uhm– yeah i think you’re–” he swallows, “really pretty–”

“seungheon!” a voice yells from behind him, appearing to be an eager yungyu with minho attached to him.

“i’m going to go to the bathroom real quick!” you squeak out, excusing yourself hurriedly to the bathroom. he lets out a defeated sigh.

the interrupting boys drew closer to you and seungheon’s spot at the bench, confused why he looked so out of it, and why you were walking away from him in panic. a hand landed on his shoulder reassuringly.

“why the long face, seungheon? are you okay?” minho asks, worry lingering in his tone.

“this is just stupid. i can’t keep pushing this down any deeper.” he frowns, “but why do i keep trying if i can’t reach her?”

“what happened exactly?” minho wonders.

“i– i called her pretty and then she rushed to the bathroom out of no where.” he runs a hand through his hair.

“maybe she just really had to pee?” yungyu tries to comfort, earning a light punch on the arm from minho.

“i don’t even know anymore. i am genuinely desperate to know what it’ll take to finally be with her.” 

“telling her straight up is what will probably work the best right now seungheon..” minho told the distressed boy.

“see, i told you!” yungyu added.

“are you guys.. completely positive that will work. because otherwise this feeling is going to consume me whole waiting for this thing to start.” he pleads with his friends.

“positive.” they both say simultaneously.

“okay, fine. then how do you guys suggest i do it?” seungheon gives in.

“whenever she comes back from the bathroom, just say you have something to tell her and lay it out. no use waiting anymore.” minho proposed a plan simply.

“i’ve seen the way she looks at you seungheon, i promise she’ll like you back.” yungyu pat seungheon on the back.

“alright.” seungheon said hesitantly, “you guys better get out before she gets back, or else she’ll think i’m plotting something.”

“aww that’s my little underclassman.” minho pat his head.

“dude don’t be corny..” yungyu gives him a disgusted look, minho mirroring it almost exactly.

“just go! i think she’s coming back.” seungheon swats them away, visibly paranoid.

they trot away quickly, leaving seungheon alone with his thoughts. everything he’s imagining gets notably louder as he waits for your figure to appear back around the corner, borderline hallucinating any movement. this wasn’t anything he’s ever done before, you were his first crush after all.

and because of that, maybe there was more pressure to see whether you reciprocated his feelings or not. first loves never seemed to go away no matter how hard anyone tried, and he doesn’t want to have to imagine you absent in his life. 

once you finally do come back, his stomach is doing somersaults, and his heart palpitating. theres still a slight blush on your face when you sit down on the creaky bench, soon meeting his eyes once you’re fully settled down.

“hi, i’m sorry if i took awhile!” you brush off, twiddling your thumbs together, “what did minho and yungyu want?”

“oh! it’s not that important but um, i wanted to talk to you about something.” seungheon brings up, hands shaking slightly in his lap.

“of course, whats up?” you respond nervously.

“for the longest time, you’ve been one of the closest friends in my life.” he started, “and the last thing i would want is to ruin anything between us.”

“are you saying you don’t want to be friends anymore..?” you almost choke out.

“what? oh my gosh, y/n, no! well, yes but–” he pauses, reaching over your trays to take hold of your hand, “i like you a lot. and it’s kind of been killing me every time i drop a hint that goes unnoticed.”

your lips part like you’re about to say something, but no words come out. instead tears begin to well up in your eyes and your bottom lip quivers, making it painfully obvious that you’re about to cry. a droplet falls from your eye, immediately making seungheon’s eyes widen in horror.

“y/n! please don’t cry i– i didn’t know you were going to react like this i’m so sorry!” he raised his hands to cup your face, wiping your under eye to rid it from any tears.

“seungheon..” you sob out, leaning into his palm, “i didn’t think you were going to like me back.”

“why wouldn’t i like you– wait what?”

“i thought you were just being nice this whole time, i had no clue how to react and– i wasn’t sure how to make it obvious that i liked you.” you sniffed, “that’s why i got us pencils, they even had little hearts next to the panda..”

“and i thought i wasn’t being obvious.” he smiles at your words.

“heonie!”

“i’m kidding. god we’re so stupid aren’t we.”

“maybe a little bit.. but you’ve had me teetering on the edge all day! first you say you liked taking care of me, then you bought me lunch, then you called me pretty?!” you mentally facepalm.

“at least thank minho and yungyu for knocking some sense into me, i was probably going to walk you home next.” he remembered the rest of his plans he had in stow.

“you can still walk me home today..” you stammer, head still resting in the comfort of his hands.

“i wouldn’t plan on having it any other way.” he sighs with relief, stroking away any remaining tears.

“there is one thing we’re missing though!” you mention suddenly.

“bro was i supposed to get you flowers..?” he gasps, moving his hands away to dig for a makeshift gift in his backpack.

you bring his head back to you, placing a soft peck on his lips. it was something new he’s never exactly felt before, but he wouldn’t have it with anyone other than you.

“now we are official. that’s how couples solidify things, right?”

DISTANT LANDS AND OTHER ADVENTURES series

[minkkumaz]

hello :) I loved your yungyu imagine! i hope it isn’t annoying asking for another one…? maybe the reader is also an idol and she and yungyu do an interview together and flirt with each other ?!

THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT US

dating within the idol industry was strictly forbidden. yet behind the scenes, you and yungyu have something that could only be described as 'a little more than friends.' after he sees you after music bank, he has something to tell you.

PAIRING lee yungyu x fem!reader WC 0.9k TAGS friends to lovers. fluff. mutual pining. OMI NOTE omg anon it is totally not annoying. i am madly in love with yungyu so i feel so happy someone else wants a yungyu request. don't be afraid to send more once my ask box opens up again, i love writing for him. <3 this is a tiny bit different from your ask but i hope you still like it.

when yungyu gave you soft looks from his side of the stage, you tried your best to bite back a smile. music events were your worst enemy, getting to see your cute boy - crush perform with his group and listen to hundreds of fans call out his name. 

but none of them knew anything about the two of you, what happened behind closed doors. he dedicated his ending fairy to you. something sweet that only you guys knew, something sacred that would be forbidden to the public.

it wasn’t a secret that there were strict rules that enforced zero dating in the industry. dating scandals negatively effected the picture perfect image that idols had to maintain. you and yungyu knew that better than anyone, but it couldn’t pry either of you apart.

nobody caught on how close you guys were, not even your companies. yungyu’s group tried tirelessly to help you guys cover up your tracks just to see him happy. their bond was truly unbreakable and you somewhat envied that. it was difficult to hang around the group in public as a whole without problems arising. 

this was the sad part of being a soloist, not having a group to rely on that could help you with your stupid relationship issues. yet he was always there to be your comfort, your home. 

somewhere behind the scenes, when he saw you for the first time he almost fell in love. you’d never forget when seungheon told you how hard he worked to give you a good stage. since then it became history.

hanging out whenever you could, accidentally falling asleep on his shoulder and waking up to a pitch black practice room at four in the morning. 

it was sappy moments like those that you clung onto, memories that rested inside the company building. especially when you had to make a sneaky escape from his personal office room. there wasn’t a label on things, however, so sometimes you felt confused.

so like every other day, not being able to cheer as loudly for your closest friend, you held back. the event ended after everyone finished with their performances and awards were given out. since you were the honorable mc alongside two others, you stepped aside to a room where you were meant to  interview them.

they piled in, and you tried to avoid eye contact with yungyu as not to raise suspicion, bowing a little lower than usual because of this.

“let’s welcome rookie group, 8turn, back from their comeback stage!” your  told the camera whilst your partner clapped lightly, “say hello!”

“whose turn? 8turn! hello we are 8turn!" they introduced happily.

“how do you guys feel finally being able to perform your first comeback?” your partner asked.

“all of us have definitely worked very hard towards this, and we’re glad to show everything to our turnings!” jaeyun told, earning nods from all the other boys.

“well i would love to know who your guys biggest inspiration was during these times!” you looked as jaeyun passed the mic over to yungyu.

“my biggest inspiration recently has been my closest friend outside of all of this. she– they. yes they have always been so kind and um,” he pauses, “i really enjoy being around them, and they’re always making me feel like my best so i really appreciate them for that.”

while the other mc is clapping, you blush profusely. there was the assumption there that he was talking about you, the chances weren’t zero. it was one of the riskiest things he’s done, especially that slip up.

“ahm– i’m glad you find such inspiration in your friends! you guys have worked very hard. 8turn fighting!” you stuttered out.

the cameras dropped and you quickly bowed before turning away from the boys. the day had run long and you needed some fresh air after their interview. 

you walked off into the hall and grabbed a soft drink from the vending machine before sitting yourself on the stairs. cracking open the tap, you took a sip. there were quiet footsteps in the distance that grew louder, you paid it no mind.

“y/n!” a voice said, who you easily were able to recognize as yungyu's.

“yungyu, what are you doing here shouldn’t you be with you group?” you questioned him as he sat down next to you on the stairs.

“yeah but they let me come find you.” he paused, “you know i was talking about you during the interview right?”

“you were?”

“of course i was! how could i not? you really have been my biggest inspiration ever since i met you.” he admit, letting his hand slightly graze over yours. 

“thank you.. but we can’t be this close while we are in public yungyu, we’ll get hell from the company.” you tried to move your hand away but he was quicker to intertwine your fingers.

“y/n this is so stupid. i really really like you and i hate hiding this. you don’t think they’d maybe be a little bit supportive?”

“wait hold on let’s back track for a second, you like me?” the shock on your face made him laugh.

“oh my gosh you seriously didn’t know i liked you?”

“i thought it was one sided this whole time i feel so stupid!” you pout.

“you’re so cute, i can’t believe you didn’t realize.” he smiled at you, turning your head to face him slightly. the touch made you turn red.

“soo.. what now?” you mumbled

“something something, maybe we kiss.” 

your lips parted slightly as your eyes went wide, making him smile even bigger. he leaned into you and left a small tap on your lips.

“you better hope we don’t get caught you idiot.”

[8turning]

⌕ . . . jung haemin — heartful !

jung haemin x gn ! reader ★ fluff. mutual pining. ★ 3.3k words ★ warnings: food mentions. let me know if i missed anything!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀〈 REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED ! 〉

the light in his shared room was still off, hints of the morning sun shining through the curtain-covered window. it became a rare occurrence for haemin to sleep in - school and now his job being rather demanding of his time - so he chose to revel in the soft glow of the early morning.

his reflective clock showed it was just shy of hitting 8, its white numbers protruding the rather dim room. it was almost too quiet in the dorm; his 7 other roommates seemingly vanishing on the one day he'd probably want to spend with them the most - his birthday.

haemin doesn't allow himself to wallow in whatever pitiful feeling started to sprout in his chest - he knew his members well, they wouldn't have forgotten a day like this.

at least, that's what he thought.

upon opening his bedroom door, the dorm was empty. no signs of any of his members - the lights to other bedrooms and bathrooms were shut off. haemin was alone. he purses his lips, pushing down the dreadful feeling once more as he enters the kitchen, the bright pink post-it on the counter catching his attention.

went to run errands with myungho and yungyu. should be back soon. if you need anything from the store, text me =) - jaeyun

the handwriting changes under jaeyuns signature - haemin recognized it to be kyungmins:

haemin, if/when you read this, happy birthday!! rest up, i'll be back in a bit!

haemin felt a smile creep onto his face - maybe with the self-pity he started to notice coming back, all it took was one person remembering to replace the entire feeling. he left the post-it where he found it, crossing the short distance to the fridge and grabbing the milk jug.

plain cereal was never his favorite (he hoped jaeyun would pick up something tastier while he was out) so reluctantly, he poured a small bowl of corn flakes - a simple breakfast. he pulls a chair to sit at the counter, a tired groan of annoyance leaving his lips as he realizes he left his phone in his room.

although the commute back to his bedroom was short, his limbs were still trying to wake up, making the short walk feel like a mountain hike. he unplugs the device from its charger, the screen lighting up - he takes note of the several notifications.

one from his manager, saying how he should be at the company building by 3 pm for his birthday livestream, another from the 8turn accounts with his birthday posts, and a message from you, wishing him a good day.

his smile grows, hitting his past self for really believing no one had remembered. his members, you, or his fans weren't able to celebrate with him physically at the moment, but that doesn't mean they forgot his birthday - that they forgot about him.

he clicks on your message first, thanking you and asking what your plans were for the day as he makes his way back to his cereal.

nothing really, you reply first, the typing bubble popping up again immediately after - haemin waits patiently.

if you have the time, maybe you could stop by? we can play a couple of games before you have to do idol stuff or whatever (* ￣︿￣)

he chuckles lightly, your harsh tone aimed at his work schedule always amusing to him. he knew you were never serious, but he can't help the small jump his heart does thinking that you miss spending time with him that much.

i don't have anything to do until 3, he sends off, typing another message. let me text kyungmin, i think he's expecting me to stay at the dorm for a while

he switches contacts, a small notification of your no worries :] message coming into view as he types, an unconscious smile forming on his lips.

kyungmin replies very energetically, telling him to make sure he dresses well when he goes over - only kyungmin knew of haemin's liking to you, promising to never tell a soul (and haemin hoped he's kept that promise).

his cereal has gone soggy, but he couldn't find it in himself to care as he stands from his seat, abandoning his bowl in favor of telling you he'd be by your place in 20 minutes.

"what do i even wear . . . ?" he trails off, talking to himself as he looks through the small rack of clothing, trying to find something both comfortable and suitable for you to see him in.

"he said he'll be here in twenty," you say into the kitchen - jaeyun, myungho, yoonsung, and minho all adorned in aprons while preparing a small feast for the 9 of you to enjoy.

seungheon, yungyu, and kyungmin sat on your living room floor, frantically trying to wrap the small gifts they had prepared for haemin.

you could hear yungyu's frantic yells to hurry once you returned to the living room, cut up pieces of wrapping paper strewn about your floor.

having gone to school with kyungmin and haemin, you didn't know much about their groupmates prior to their visit today - you were relieved with how easily they all fell into their own respective roles in order to make a nice memory for your friends' birthday.

you had reached out to kyungmin sometime last week to try and prepare something with him, he was the one who ended up suggesting something being held at your place (as well as to have the rest of their members join).

i don't think he'd expect it, your phone screen read as you ate your dinner, movie paused as you messaged kyungmin. plus, having you host means he definitely would come, he'd fall to his knees if you asked him to

you shake your head, a smile playing on your lips. i don't think that's true, min, you reply. if you didn't live together, i'm sure he'd come running to you, too

a simple (〜￣▽￣)〜 was all he replied with, followed by his plans and how they could get everything to work out.

"the foods finished, we're packing it up right now!" myungho yells to you all, making seungheon and yungyu giggle as they slap tape onto the wrapped gifts hurriedly - you start to think they've never wrapped anything before.

nevertheless, they all move and clean up quickly, piling everything into your kitchen just out of view of the front door where haemin would soon stand.

they all stay in their place, the "cooks" being sure to remove their aprons and fold them neatly, haemin's favorite foods freshly made and set on the counter alongside his wrapped gifts.

you do one more look around your place - thankfully, it didn't look like there were an additional 7 people rustling around just a minute ago. you breath out a sigh to try and calm your racing heart, turning on your tv to at least make it look like you were just lounging around when he arrives.

a knock sounds throughout the apartment, you yelling you'd be right there as you turn to the kitchens inhabitants, hoping at least one of them remembered how the plan was supposed to go - you chuckle noticing how minho already had several rolls of blue streamers in his hands.

you open the door, haemin standing with a small bag, presumably filled with things he needed to take to the office after his time with you.

"hi, haem!" you greet excitedly, watching as his smile only grows as you open the door wider, welcoming him inside.

"hey, y/n," he replies, "smells good, were you cooking?"

you shake your head negatively - hoping haemin doesn't pick up on the quick flash of panic in your eyes. "just reheated some takeout a bit ago, i guess the smell is still lingering," you laugh to try and play it off as truth - and luckily - haemin doesn't question you further. "what game do you want to play? here- you can set your bag in my room then you can pick something out."

he nods and follows behind like a lost puppy, and you brace yourself a bit for the first part of the plan. you turn the hallway's corner a bit to early, knocking your elbow into the wall, a hiss escaping you as your opposite palm reaches to cup the injured area.

it didn't actually hurt at all - you're sure a bruise wouldn't even begin to form - but haemin was at your side within a second.

"you okay? that sounded like you hit it pretty hard-"

"yeah, i'm good," you smile at him, hand still cupping the area as you hear some rustling from the living room, alerting you that the "signal" of you turning the corner was loud enough for his members to hear.

haemin's face tells you he doesn't believe you. "can i at least look at it, then?" he asks as you continue your commute to your room - he sets his bag down on your bed. "i can't have fun knowing you might be hurt worse than you're making it out to be."

you realize getting haemin to check the fake injury would buy you and his friends more time - so with a sigh feigning playful annoyance - you sit on your bed and show him where you had hit your arm.

he sits next to you, your heartbeat picking up slightly as he gently takes your arms into his hands, softly tracing over the area to see if you wince away in pain - you didn't react at all.

"i told you i was fine, haem," you smile at him - he drops your arm cautiously back into your lap.

"it wasn't that i didn't believe you!" he starts to ramble. "i just- y'know- i know you'd do the same for me so i wanted to-"

"it's all good, you don't have to worry, okay?" you reassure, earning a sigh and a smile from your friend. "let's find something to play," you stand, walking over the small shelf that contains many console games, some of which you only play when haemin or kyungmin visit you.

it wouldn't shock you if some cases gathered dust atop them, their schedules making it a hassle to find time to join you. he scans the cases from his place next to you and pretends to ponder on his options - you know well what he would end up choosing, but the little show he put on of tapping his chin in thought was amusing.

you hear a voice from your living room and freeze for a moment, waiting to see if haemin has any kind of reaction to the sound. you're relieved when he instead reaches forward, pulling two cases from the shelf.

"not even surprised you picked those," you say with a small laugh, turning around to face your bedroom door to leave. i hope they're finished, you think as haemin follows behind once again. "you can go start up the console, i'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick."

without question, haemin nods - you watch as he begins the retreat down your hallways, hurriedly scurrying to the bathroom where his boxed-cake and candles await you.

his attention was on the game cases, opening them to retrieve the disks when he hears loud voices suddenly. turning his head up, he's met with his members cheering, his name being yelled from the tops of their lungs while several party decorations hung from the walls and ceiling. confetti lined the edges of the room and the couch, dining table covered with his favorites and his members smiling faces in front of him while they stood on your couches and chairs.

he didn't have any words - part of him was still trying to process that his groupmates were there, in your house, and he had no idea. his frozen state made his friends laugh, rushing over to his side to pull him into the room, taking the cases from his hands.

he keeps looking around, helium balloons spelling out his name were taped to your walls, blue streamers draped from the ceiling and many wrapped boxes sat on your coffee table.

haemin was speechless once he saw you coming from the hallway, a blue cake on your hands as the members all sang to him - for him. he couldn't help the smile the covered his face, hands coming up to hide his embarrassment; he couldn't believe he actually thought his friends would forget.

he blew out the candles, opening his eyes to hear his friends' cheers and feel their hands on his shoulders, shaking him as they settle him onto your confetti-covered couch (you'd make kyungmin clean that up later). you set the cake on a vacant spot on your dining room table before sitting in a chair, the rest of the members finding their own spots as they slowly hand him each wrapped box.

haemin handles them gently, still somewhat in a shock - he was alone this morning, he was just with you alone and about to play games until he had to go into the office, and now here he was, surrounded by all of his friends and opening the gifts they had all pitched in to buy for him.

the room fills with several laughs and conversations as time progressed, loading up the console for anyone to play and haemin not having to move a finger, each person doting on him. getting him food and drinks, putting on the jewelry he received as a gift, you're even sure you saw yoonsung trying to feed him - much to haemin's dismay.

haemin's eyes fell onto you, sitting on your couch and smiling as yungyu red-shelled myungho for the nth time that race - this felt right. having you with him and his members felt right.

he didn't miss the way they all quickly became friendly with you, either, his heart swelling at the sight of you laughing alongside jaeyun and minho as you watch the race reach its conclusion.

kyungmin followed his gaze from his spot next to him. "whatcha thinking about, haem?"

"were you even planning to come back to the dorm today?" he asks, not turning to face his friend until a long period of silence consumes the conversation. kyungmin's face shifts once haemin's eyes are on him, going from stoic to a wide smile, his dimples on full display, effectively telling haemin nope, the whole plan was to get you here.

"i knew you'd come running here, don't pretend you wouldn't have," the younger replies, haemin looking away while shaking his head softly. "i think you should talk to them."

"about what?"

"about everything. y'know, how you feel and stuff-"

haemin stops his sentence with a shake of his head, and awkward chuckle escaping his lips, watching as you cheer for seungheon who - miraculously - came out in first place. "i don't think right now is the right time," he breaths out. "i like where we are."

"but we both know you want more than that," kyungmin whispers as yoonsung returns, another plate of food in his hands as a beeping sound airs through the room, the start of another race about to commence.

haemin gratefully takes the plate from yoonsung's hands, who then lounges against the couch, watching the match on the tv. haemin's mind was too preoccupied with kyungmin's words to pay attention to the food in front of him.

maybe now wasn't the best time to think about it - "it" being what he wanted to have with you - but he couldn't help but thinking about that as he watched you interact with his members; you fit all too perfectly into his second family.

before long the cheers died down, members laying across your floor while minho and yoonsung took on the task of cleaning while you, yungyu, and seungheon packed up the remaining food for them to take back to the dorms.

haemin hoped this meant you could join them on group days off, no longer keeping your interactions limited to himself and kyungmin.

"are we all ready to go?" myungho asks into the room, back turned to yungyu who discreetly tries to place confetti on the top of myungho's head.

a chorus of replies play through your living room, each member taking time to thank you for letting them come by as well as letting them take the rest of the leftovers.

"of course, thank you all for bringing everything," you say, a smile on your face as one-by-one they exit your door.

"anytime," jaeyun smiles.

"my birthday is next," seungheon says as he approaches you. "you're invited to whatever we do, y/n."

a wide grin forms on your lips. "i'll be there."

"later, y/n," kyungmin says, giving you a quick hug. "i promise i'll be back later today to help clean up."

"bye, min. and you better," you say with a sharp tone - but the everlasting smile you had seemed to counteract whatever seemingly negative words you say.

haemin was the last to greet you, his bag from your room hanging off of his shoulder and another bag in his palm that contained all of his gifts. he opened his arms to you shyly: "thank you for everything, y/n."

you gladly walk into his embrace, your arms filing through his to bring him towards you. "of course, haem."

while he holds you close - feels the pad of your thumb rub soothingly against his back - he thinks of kyungmin's words. deciding to think with his heart instead of his head, he speaks up.

"wanna hang out next time we're both free? just us?" he says, hoping you couldn't feel the way his heart raced before you pulled away to look at him.

"can i pick what we do?"

haemin's smile grows, a soft blush resting on his cheekbones. "anywhere you'd like."

you nod, already having a place in mind. "i'll let you know my schedule then," you take a moment to take in how he's looking at you - eyes sparkling as his bangs hung just past his eyebrows, a closed-mouth smile on his lips. "go talk to your fans, i'm sure theyre dying to wish you a happy birthday."

"you'll be watching, right?" haemin says, hopeful.

you nod. "wouldn't dream of missing it."

with one final - and much shorter - hug, haemin leaves, the rest of his groupmates waiting patiently at your floor's elevator for him to finish talking with you.

you wave to them all from your doorway, retreating back inside once the doors of the elevator close, staring at your apartment in awe of how it looked.

kyungmin better come back to help you.

"how was your day today haeminie?" yoonsung asks, reading a comment a viewer left off of the tablet their staff had given him.

"my day was really nice," he says, talking into the camera. "i spent it with my members and other people who are really important to me, and now it's even more memorable since i get to spend it with our fans."

haemin smiles, the other members each replying with a touched sigh. haemin hoped even with his somewhat vague reply, you knew the "other people" was referring to you.

the live wrapped up quickly, the boys all heading back to their dorm, and as haemin lay in bed, he can't help but smile at your messages.

♡ y/n!! oh so i'm just "other people" to you? (T_T)

♡ y/n!! i'm glad today was nice for you haem <3

♡ y/n!! sleep well!! happy birthday!!

Earlier that week you and your boyfriend of 4 months, Yungyu decided to go to the aquarium. Yungyu cleared his schedule for you, so he had time to take you out for food after the aquarium.

Upon arriving there you met Yungyu by the shark plushies in the gift shop. "Yn!" Yungyu called out for you, your smile grew upon seeing your boyfriend waving and slightly jumping, "hey" you giggled wrapping your arms around his waist, Yungyu blushed and mumbled a small "hi" in your neck. The two of you held hands making your way to the pay for entry section.

Pulling out your wallet from your pocket/bag Yungyu turned and stopped you, taking your wallet from you before pulling out his own and paying for both of you, once you two entered you started giggling causing Yungyu to turn to you confused "your so cute" your mumbled pinching his cheeks, Yungyu blushed a deep shade of pink swatting your hands away.

"Stop" Yungyu whined slightly leaning into your side causing you to laugh a bit louder ignoring the looks of old people judging you and Yungyu's relationship. The two of you pointed at jellyfish passing by, giggling and giving each one a name, "and this one is...hm....Minho" Yungyu said putting his finger on the glass "Why Minho?" You giggled turning to him.

"Not sure he just reminds me of Minho" Yungyu laughed turning to you "your adorable" you said pulling Yungyu into a hug, Yungyu mumbled something into your neck that you couldn't understand, he suddenly pulled back and, grabbed your cheeks, pulling you into a kiss, the old people around you two let scoffs of disgust out and mumbled to each other, Yungyu pulled back ashamed "what's wrong?" You asked grabbing his hand.

Without speaking Yungyu looked around at the people who were judging "oh who cares it's not their relationship, they just think their entitled to everything." You said wrapping your arm around Yungyu's shoulders pulling him towards the next window of fish, Successfully gaining his attention off the negativity.

Yungyu and you were now standing in front of the sword fish laughing giving the fish random voices, "Gyu Gyu!" You laughed "I'm gonna pee myself" you said crouching on the ground, your words caused Yungyu to laugh harder "where's the restroom" he laughed trying to see through the tears in his eyes.

You and Yungyu sat on a bench calming down from your laughing fit "stop thinking about it" Yungyu laughed seeing you start to laugh harder, "I can't help it, I didn't know you could make that noise" you laughed, "me either" Yungyu laughed, the two of you calmed down seeing everyone make there way the front, confused you checked the time.

"Ah there closed" you said showing Yungyu your phone, his eyes falling on your lock screen giggling "when did you take that" he asked looking at the picture of him standing in front of the jelly fish, with one hand on the glass, his body facing you and, his head turned to the side.

You giggled, "when you were naming one you were deep in thought it was cute" you said admiring the photo, Yungyu blushed. Dropping the subject the two of you made your way to a random fast food joint nearby.

The both of your phones put on airplane mode as too not be bothered during your date, "oh right" you said pulling out something from your pocket/bag a small shark keychain "for you" you said, placing it in his hand. He looked up at you confused "a little thank you gift" you said, situating yourself back into your seat. "A thank you? For what?" Yungyu said latching the keychain to his bag.

"For agreeing to date me I guess" you giggled, Yungyu let out a small 'awe' before leaning over the table and kissing you, he sat back in his seat putting his hand on the table, a small squish sound could be heard, causing Yungyu to look down, seeing his middle finger dipped into the ketchup, "oh my gosh" you laughed, helping Yungyu clean his finger. The two of you sat at the joint for an hour or two before packing up and heading home, chosing to have a sleep over at your house.

"Jesus" Kyungmin sighed looking around the store, "what's wrong?" Yungyu asked looking up at the older male, "I didn't think he'd be so hard to shop for, any other time I buy gifts it's not this hard" Kyungmin whined, Yungyu shrugged drinking his coffee, "just get him like a promise ring, or like a meaningful gift I don't know" Yungyu commented walking away from Kyungmin.

"Wow, so much help thank you." Kyungmin muttered looking towards the jewelry counter, "wait a minute..." He mumbled pulling his phone out, quickly googling the location of something you mentioned in the past, "Yungyu!" Kyungmin called out, walking up to the younger male "figured out what to get him" Kyungmin informed, Yungyu nodded picking his drink back up before following the eldest out the door.

Upon arrival at the place, Yungyu looked around "Is there a bathroom around?" Yungyu asked, Kyungmin nodded pointing in the direction of the bathroom, once he made sure Yungyu got to the bathroom, he walked towards the counter, speaking with the worker once finally paying he retrieved the small box.

Yungyu and Kyungmin made it back to the dorm, everyone split up doing their own things, Kyungmin sat on the living room floor grabbing the wrapping paper he bought, remembering how you said you liked it. Finishing up Kyungmin placed the small box under the tree, your name written in big pretty font.

A few weeks went by, Christmas Eve you spent the night at your boyfriend's dorm, your family being back home and, him unable to see his family, you both decided it's a good idea for you to spend it at his dorm with him and his members. "Good morning" Seungheon said, "good morning to you too" you smiled munching on your pancakes, offering the younger a few of them.

Talking with a few of the members in the kitchen waiting for your boyfriend to wake up, sharing food eventually Kyungmin wakes up immediately attaching his tall frame on your shorter one, "morning" Kyungmin mumbled in your ear, turning in his arms you smiled up at him, holding one of your hands under his chin bringing the other hand to his mouth, holding a fork with a bite of your food on it, Kyungmin smiled at you allowing you to feed him.

A few minutes later you eventually found yourselves in the living room, settling yourself on the couch, Myungho was the only one standing up handing an equal amount of gifts to each person, both of you taking time opening your gifts and showing, the living room filled with laughter, the atmosphere was that of a close family on Christmas morning, comforting and light hearted.

Eventually you got to the small box that Kyungmin got you, looking at him in confusion, he just smiled at you. Carefully opening the packaging, opening the box your eyes went wide a small gasp left your mouth before you looked up at Kyungmin, his smile growing at your reaction, your eyes filled up with tears "you remembered?" You asked softly, Kyungmin nodded, "wait what is it?" One of the members asked.

Fully opening the box you pulled out the small, piece of jewelry showing the other boys in the room, multiple gasps were heard throughout the room "wow...that's so...pretty" Minho mumbled staring at the small piece of jewelry, Kyungmin hummed before grabbing it from your hand, looking for a certain spot on the inside of it, carved was your name and his name and the date you got together, your eyes once again grew wide before you looked over at the taller male next to you, attacking him with kisses.

The rest of the members smiled watching the interaction between the couple, "I love you" Kyungmin mumbled, your smile somehow growing wider you looking him in his eyes "I love you too" you mumbled kissing his lips again, the sound of a camera shuttering ruined your moment "oops..." Haemin said, everyone in the room burst out in laughter, as you and Kyungmin tried to get him to delete the photo.

⌕ . . . 8turn — having an older, introverted s/o !

bf ! hyung line + jangshinz x gn ! reader ★ fluff. established relationship. ★ headcannon ★ warnings: none. pls lmk if i need to add anything! proofread while tired again.

📨 requested from anonymous !

n. though no specific age is mentioned for reader, for my own comfort, i envisioned reader to only be about 1 - 2 years older than each member in their own section.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀〈 REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED ! 〉

⁰⁰¹ : JAEYUN.

you being older doesn't matter to him line 1/?

it doesn't really faze him, but every now and then he remembers and he's just "oh yeah" then moves on.

the only time it really feels like you're older is when you scold him (which is never often, but when it is, it's usually about his alarm💀).

he's never minded that you're more on the introverted side, either - if you'd rather spend a day with him in the dorm rather than go out somewhere was fine by him.

the only hard part was on the off-chance either of you did want to go out, his job made it incredibly difficult to do so.

and knowing you would like to have a day or night out with him and he can't give that to you breaks him a little inside.

but, he's grateful you understand and sympathize with the position he's in - always telling him that location doesn't matter as long as he's next to you.

"i know it's not really ideal," jaeyun starts, eyes crinkling in a soft and bashful smile, as if he was embarrassed by the arrangement before you both. after not being able to see each other, jaeyun wished to treat you to a nice dinner at the dorm. perhaps asking for his members' help was a mistake - yungyu insisting on wearing a chef's hat (he didn't even cook anything). "i hope this is alright," he finishes, finally meeting your eyes to find you softly smiling at him. "this is really nice, jae," you compliment, noting how the small lamp they had placed on the table made the blush he was wearing much more visible. "i'm just glad i can spend some time with you." you could hear yungyu's fake gagging noises from around the corner.

⁰⁰² : MYUNGHO.

you being older doesn't matter to him line 2/?

myungho comes off as one of those people who is very care-free. you're older? cool. you're taller? awesome.

he doesn't really have many preferences that he looks for in a romantic partner - he just wants someone that loves him and someone that he can love. a simple man.

myungho's rather introverted himself so he never puts up a fight when you say you'd like yo stay inside while you're together.

makes the most of your time together always!!

from the content we have of myungho available, you cant tell me one of his love languages isn't physical affection

he loves holding your hand or having his arm hanging off of his shoulder.

does the cheesy yawn move you only ever see in movies . . . yeah he gets wayyy too embarrassed after and you can't help but giggle at his antics.

"i can feel you falling asleep," myungho chuckles, the vibration from his chest making you smile as you lift your head, shifting into an even more slouched position to comfortably lounge against your boyfriend. he knew you were tired - wanting nothing more than to relax with him in the privacy of your own home and watch a movie that just wasn't reaching the expectation you had for it from the summary. his arm adjusts on your shoulder, fingers dancing over the skin of your neck soothingly as you close your eyes once more. myungho didn't say a word this time, allowing the movie to lull you to sleep as he kept you warm.

⁰⁰³ : MINHO.

with how playful minho can be, he really does feel younger than you sometimes 😭

he knows you're never super serious when you scold him for his antics.

he's actually a bit envious of how mature you present yourself to be. you both balance each other really well :]

another introvert who would rather spend his time with you either alone or with the members,,,, sometimes.

minho's pretty affectionate with his members already so he's obviously going to give you even more affection (he'd rather not have the other members see that, though).

just because you both spend a lot of time together inside, the times you do go out with one another, everyone is going to know you're taken.

he's not a fan of excessive pda, will probably just keep it to holding your hand and kissing your forehead every now and again.

"is this one okay?" minho asks, standing in front of the corner table he managed to find. the café was small and had a decent amount of people inside. the table was near the back of the shop, much more secluded - it warmed your heart that he knew you'd be most comfortable here. sitting down, he rests his hand palm-up on the table - instinctively, you place your hand in his. minho's thumb rubs soothingly over your knuckles mindlessly as you both take a look at the cafe's menu. "kyungmin's been raving about this place since they opened," your boyfriend starts to explain, his eyes scanning over the many items they offered. "i thought it'd be a nice place to bring you to." you squeeze his hand gently, a smile on your lips - one that minho returns full-heartedly.

⁰⁰⁴ : YOONSUNG.

you being older doesn't matter to him line 3/?

with how extroverted yoonsung is, he will admit its difficult for him to stay inside with you most of the time you're together :[

but he knows its not your fault!! he'd never blame you for wanting to stay in.

he values his time with you a lot, and if being around a bunch of people makes you uncomfortable, he will never ask you to do so just for him.

but the few times you have made an exception to go out with him, he always has the biggest smile on his face.

please he's the type to try and get you to skip with him while swinging your hands 😭 he's just so giddy you're there with him and he gets to spend time with you.

you make it clear to him that if he needs to go out, he can and shouldn't feel guilty for doing so. just as he wants you to be happy indoors, you want him to be happy outdoors.

so if he ever goes out without you, you will always get constant updates on where he is, what he's doing, who he's with etc etc.

he'd call you and send so many selfies of himself on his journeys. it makes it feel like you're there with him :")

"look! wouldn't this shirt look so good on me?" yoonsung says, shamelessly angling his phone above him as he posed in the middle of the clothing shop. he watches as you smile - that's enough confirmation for him to buy that shirt in every color he can find. "i'm gonna find some stuff for you, too," he says, his phone now pressed against his chest as he gathers handfuls of shirts. "you don't have to, sungie," you say, hearing his mischievous giggle as he parades around the store. "i want to!" he protests, a wide grin on his lips as he looks down at you. "maybe i can find matching bracelets . . . that way even when i'm out, i have a little piece of you with me!"

⁰⁰⁵ : HAEMIN.

stop i feel like he'd feel a bit of pressure :(

he'd try so so so hard to be the perfect bf

another introverted boyfriend that just wants you to always be comfortable, which leads to you both spending most of your time together either at the dorms or your place.

you being older would intimidate him a bit i think :( he feels like he needs to prove himself that much more. prove to you and himself that he's worthy of being with you. crying

but that's what makes him so motivated to make sure every moment you two spend with one another is memorable.

there aren't many activities you two could do together while inside, which leads to you both mainly trying to cook meals with each other.

you only burn the food a handful of times before you make your first good meal😃

he's apologetic but still enthusiastic to try again (or save the cooking for another day).

"i don't think that's gonna work, haem," you say, tone weary as you watch him pour a bit too much water into the pot. he reassures you it'll be fine, and reluctantly, you believe him. unfortunately, it wasn't long until the water started to boil - boil over the edge of the pot and onto the stovetop. haemin quickly grabs a towel once he realizes, and you grab his wrist to stop him. "turn off the burner first, you could have hurt yourself," you say, reaching through his arm to reduce the heat and remove the pot from its spot. truth be told, he felt embarrassed - but with a reassuring hug from you after he wiped up the spilled water made him feel a lot better. "let's just order take out," you suggest, pulling away and meeting his eyes. "agreed."

⁰⁰⁶ : KYUNGMIN.

he says he's an introvert . . . i don't believe him!!

maybe it's because i think that when he's in a relationship, he'd be so energetic with his s/o.

like he's so happy to be with you

when he's inside with you, he Does Not Want To Move. will just lay on the couch.

but when you do go out with him,,, you're getting stared at.

hand holder. back hugger. crown-of-head-kiss giver.

he just loves you so much!!

he wouldn't be intimidated by you being older than him, i think he'd forget most of the time tbh💀

doesn't really matter to him so he never pays it much mind.

"i'm gonna fall asleep if you keep doing that," kyungmin mumbles against your shoulder, the hand you have hanging over his shoulders massaging his scalp slowly. "sleep if you're tired, min," you reply, feeling as he curls into you more, arms wrapping around your middle and closing his eyes. even though he is tired and the way you're playing with his hair is relaxing, he can't bring himself to fall asleep. his heart was beating so fast - he hoped you were unable to hear it, or worse, feel it from your close proximity. you could, though, not that you'd ever admit that to him. he'd get embarrassed and move away, and with what little time you get to spend together already, you don't want to risk him not being at your side.
