☆ PARK JONGSEONG

-> CHECK OUT “sweater” by bunny !

SWEATER.

where its definitely sweater weather, and of course he had one for you.

genre : fluff

pairing : nishimura riki x fem!reader

buns notes : i wanna wear a sweater but its too hot where i am... so if its cold in your state this is for you.

Summer had past and winter approached almost rapidly, you and riki suffered the most since you lived in the coldest part of Korea. so you can imagine how annoying it is.

Despite that riki had plans to take you out and really didn't mind being in the cold meanwhile you hated it.

But you pulled through since your boyfriend took his time planning to take you out to a restaurant.

You currently were dressed cutely, some articles of your outfit providing warmth but... you didn't have any sweaters.

Oh well! it couldn't be that cold right?

Wrong.

Now, you walked beside riki as his arm was around you.

Even if he was warm and fuzzy you still shivered slightly, and obviously since riki was a observant boyfriend he was already opening up his snapbag.

"Here." He abruptly pulled a sweater over your head that just so happened to match your outfit.

"Oh-... thanks nishi.." you sheepishly smiled in embarrassment but he just nodded and pat your head.

"It's turning into sweater weather yknow? be more mindful. you hate the cold.." He sighed and tried to act nonchalant.

But deep down he felt a pang of satisfaction knowing he helped you.

And you felt even more comfortable with him with you, oh and plus the sweater too i guess.

Yunha kang core - enhypen

Enha 8th fem!member moment Im trying a new writing vibe hope you like it and not find it confusing

#Scene 1

ENHYPEN’s latest en-log vlog, shot in the bustling streets of New York City. The members are casually walking, soaking in the energy of the city. As they laugh and chat, the camera cuts to Yunha, walking slightly ahead of them, dressed in an extravagant fur ensemble, head-to-toe—strikingly confident.

Protestors (off-screen, chanting): “Stop wearing fur! It’s cruel and unethical!”

The noise grows louder as the group passes a group of animal rights protesters holding signs. The camera briefly captures the scene of passionate activists, but then quickly pans back to Yunha, who is completely unfazed. She strides down the sidewalk like it’s her runway, the fur coat flowing dramatically in the wind. Her sunglasses glint in the sunlight, and her face shows nothing but cool indifference. As if she’s the star in her own movie, she flips her hair slightly, continuing to serve looks, the protestors’ chants fading into the background.

In the next cut, the ENHYPEN members are shown looking at each other, mildly impressed with Yunha’s ability to remain unbothered, even in such an intense situation. A few of them share a knowing smirk, but Yunha keeps walking, not even acknowledging the chaos around her.

comment section:

@jay#needthat: "Yunha SERVING in the fur coat while the protestors are losing it 😂 she’s unbothered and I love it. Absolute icon energy."

@sunghoonswife: "Who else watched this moment like 10 times??? She legit slayed so hard, not even the protests could stop her 🔥"

@nikipullup: "Yunha walking through those protests like a BOSS 😩✨ The way she pays them no mind is giving 'I do what I want' vibes, queen behavior fr."

@jakelostbakery:

"Umm so we just gonna ignore how the editors didn't even bother to cut off yunha walking with fur while protests are going on LOLLL."

#Scene 2

In the latest Weverse video, Jake posts a funny moment from the group's downtime in the kitchen. The video starts with a casual shot of Yunha brewing coffee, her expression calm and focused as she moves about the kitchen. The rich aroma fills the room, and it’s clear she’s in her zone.

Cue Ni-ki, lurking in the background with a mischievous grin on his face. He sneaks up behind Yunha, clearly trying to scare her. The camera zooms in as he prepares to jump and startle her, but the moment he makes his move…

Yunha, completely unphased, calmly turns to him mid-pour and says: “Want some coffee?”

Ni-ki freezes, his attempt at scaring her falling flat. His expression quickly turns from confident to defeated as Yunha casually offers him a cup, not even batting an eye at his antics.

Ni-ki (frustrated, sighing): "Ugh, You RUINED it!"

Jake and Sunghoon, who had been watching from the side, burst into uncontrollable laughter, doubling over at how easily Yunha brushed off Ni-ki’s attempt. Their laughter echoes through the room, while Ni-ki crosses his arms, still visibly annoyed.

Ni-ki (grumbling as he sips the coffee): "high key you guys suck"

The video ends with Jake and Sunghoon still chuckling in the background, while Yunha continues making her coffee like nothing happened, embodying her trademark unbothered energy.

#Scene 3

The final day of the tour held a bittersweet atmosphere, and after 401 days of constant performances, emotions were running high. Enhypen stood under the glowing stage lights, basking in the overwhelming love from the fans one last time. As the members grew emotional, tears started to slip down their cheeks, a mix of exhaustion and gratitude catching up with them.

On the opposite side of the stage, Yunha was busy collecting plushies and gifts tossed from the crowd, her laughter ringing out as she playfully waved at fans. Her bright, carefree smile seemed oblivious to the emotional wave hitting the others. The members couldn’t help but look over at her, sharing a quiet moment of pride and affection, their hearts warming at how effortlessly Yunha could lift the mood—even if she didn’t know she was doing it.

One by one, they stole glances at her, some even cracking small smiles through their tears. It was like she carried a little light of her own, a reminder of how much they’d shared and how far they’d come together.

#Scene 4

At the Prada show for the upcoming 25 campaign, the spotlight was on Enhypen as they were interviewed about their roles and recent projects. Amid the chatter, one of Prada’s biggest ambassadors—a model known for his charm—seemed fixated on Yunha, his flirty remarks and lingering glances impossible to miss. Each Enhypen member caught on immediately, exchanging amused looks as they watched this unfold. Meanwhile, Yunha was blissfully unaware of the subtle tension, happily answering questions and laughing along.

Then, with her signature bright smile, she threw out a line that left everyone—her members, the model, and the fans—stunned: “Oh yeah, he’s my new Prada brother!” The room went silent for a beat, with her members barely stifling their laughter. As soon as the interview was published, fans erupted, laughing themselves silly over Yunha’s unintentional yet legendary move. She hadn’t just friend-zoned the guy; she’d brother-zoned him, officially sealing his fate as “Yunha’s Prada brother.” Fans couldn’t get enough of it, loving her innocent charm and completely oblivious reactions.

📄𓏧 6.3k 𝐂𝐖 ⦂ cursing in the narration ⸝⸝　long overdue, but finally here! if you notice my own frustrations take form as minyoung's thoughts, no you don't

𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗨𝗘 ⠷ Kr En Jp Sys

PLOPPING DOWN ONTO ONE OF THE CHAIRS WITH A DRAWN OUT SIGH, MINYOUNG TOOK SOME TIME TO REST AND COOL DOWN FROM THE AFTER-EFFECTS OF K AND NI-KI'S STRICT PRACTICE TIME.

The first test had been announced, and the rules? Do everything by yourself. Yup.

Somehow, due to Heeseung taking the lead (and Seon chiming in with his unnecessary input), the part distribution was thankfully done without much hiccups or delays. But Minyoung couldn't lie and say she was happy about being part 10. Though she was thankful that her lines weren't shared with another part like it was for parts 13 to 18, she barely had a line in the second verse, which was disappointing.

But of course, it was a vocal-focused performance with eighteen people and very unfairly distributed parts. It made sense that the better vocalists took the higher parts.

What didn't, was Seon claiming that Part 1 didn't need to be a good singer, only to immediately suggest making vocals the standard for assigning parts. But hey, that was just Minyoung's personal beef with Seon and not rational thinking…

No one could blame her, honestly. He’d been borderline dismissive and condescending, not just towards her, but all the girls during the part distribution, arguing against them and giving silly reasons to keep them from getting a part higher than part 6. Though no one voiced it out, Minyoung could see the animosity for him brewing among the other girls. 

The boys hadn’t thought much about it though, for Seon’s words carried a bite that stung only the recipient.

Minyoung would bet that he’d have been sucking up to them if he could gain something from it, but the elimination voting was separate for the boys and the girls so he couldn’t be bothered. 

After a somewhat chaotic practice with everyone trying to learn the dance together, Heeseung suggested that the I-Landers take some time to learn the verse at their own speed. And while Minyoung was a good dancer, she was a slow learner who couldn't be more thankful for the time and her buddies-slash-personal trainers' effort (and success) in teaching her the remaining verses.

Though she did almost break herself trying to keep up with those monsters, she could at least relax for a while without worrying about the dance.

But of course, peace could never be maintained for too long in a place that housed eighteen people, and Saebyeok and her little group of friends soon filled Minyoung's thoughtful silence with their loud conversations.

Turning around just in time to find Sunghoon and Jay bickering over the last bottle of the same type of drink, she smiled at her unnie who sat down next to her with a pat to Minyoung's head.

"Looks like y'all are having fun," Minyoung teased, chin pointing to Soojin and Heeseung chasing around Jungwon with an open water bottle.

"Yeah, they're all a handful." Saebyeok was obviously used to their chaos as the eldest of their group, simply bellowing out a ‘be careful’ as Jungwon ran out of the kitchen area with the two hot on his trail. "It seems you found yourself a little group, too?" the older girl questioned as she helped herself to Minyoung's corn chips, earning a nod and swat to the hand.

It hadn't been long since Minyoung had stopped being stuck at the hip to Saebyeok, but it felt like ages since she had spent some quality time with the girl. With Saebyeok hanging with her own friends, Minyoung had found herself in a small group of five, sticking with K, Mirae, Nicholas and Ni-ki during practice which took up most of their time.

"We've all just been practicing together," Minyoung bowed at Sunghoon who took the seat opposite her with a bowl of ramyeon in his hands (when did he get that?), "K oppa and Ni-ki helped us learn the whole song."

"I heard Ni-ki saying he wanted Part 1," Sunghoon chimed into their conversation.

Ni-ki did keep saying that, but Minyoung hadn't thought much about it. "There's not much we can do about it now though, everything's been decided already," Minyoung shrugged, earning nods of agreement.

“Hello there~” came the sweet voice of a smiling Jay as he took the seat next to Sunghoon. The ex-figure skater nudged his friend with his elbow only to earn a frown and a slap on the shoulder.

“Hi Oppa!” Minyoung suppressed a laugh at their seemingly never ending bickering.

“Sorry,” Jay switched back to a smile when he turned to her, “this guy’s been a pain in the neck all day for no reason.”

“Hey, don’t say that to someone we’re talking to for the first time!”

Minyoung giggled openly this time, side-eyeing Saebyeok, “Unnie has told me about your silly fights, I’m not surprised.”

“Huh?! She’s told you about us?” “What else has Noona told you?” Came the overlapping responses from the duo.

“A lot, but all good things, don’t worry.” Minyoung giggled again when Jay and Sunghoon narrowed their eyes at Saebyeok, untrusting of her blabbing tendencies. 

Rightfully so, too. Saebyeok was indeed a blabbermouth who’d told Minyoung of Sunghoon, Jay and Heeseung’s life history basically—when they’d started training, what they did before that, how they met for the first time and some funny stories about their hangouts. Minyoung never got the chance to hear much about Soojin and Jungwon though, because the shoot for I-Land had started a month and a half after they were put in the same unit. And two free hours a week only got Saebyeok so far into her trainee-day-tales (exclusively in Japanese, even though Minyoung understood Korean just fine).

The said girl, unaware of her dongsaengs’ glares, was too busy smirking at Minyoung and wiggling her eyebrows. (Minyoung had taken a few glances too many at Sunghoon because he was handsome, duh, but she knew that the older girl took them the wrong way.)

“Whatever it was, don’t believe that woman,” Jay mumbled as Minyoung turned back to him, snatching Sunghoon’s chopsticks to help himself to his noodles. Sunghoon let out a whine with his mouth still stuffed with the food, but ultimately allowed Jay to take a bite, only to whine again when Saebyeok pulled the bowl towards herself after Jay was done.

“Is that all you’re eating for dinner?” Jay questioned, pointing at the packet of corn chips in Minyoung’s lap. “You should eat more,” he nagged when Minyoung nodded.

“I don’t want to cook, though.”

“So you’re just gonna eat diet food? Oh, that’s not good, lemme make somethin’ for ya...” Jay’s sentence faded to a mumble as he quickly rose from his seat, heading to the pantry without letting her respond.

Since when did corn chips count as diet food? Minyoung’s flabbergasted expression must have been funny, because Saebyeok and Sunghoon burst into laughter. 

“He’s kinda obsessed with playing ‘mom’, don’t mind him.” Saebyeok patted Minyoung’s head. “His food is delicious, though.”

And delicious it was—Minyoung practically inhaled the bowl of japchae like someone who hadn’t seen the sight of food for days. Though her classy image kinda shattered in front of some of the classiest people in I-Land, she couldn’t bring herself to care at that moment.

Blame K and Ni-ki for making her insanely hungry. But also—bless Jay for filling her stomach with actual food, she might make him cook for her everyday with how good it tasted…

And just when the girl was about to be satisfied with a day done right, Heeseung strode in with Ni-ki, grabbing their attention. "Let's gather in the main practice room," he announced. Upon hearing their ‘okay’s, he walked out without further explanation, i-Pad in hand and Ni-ki by his side as the two disappeared into the gym, whispering to themselves like businessmen discussing a contract together.

...ooookay? 

Minyoung shrugged to herself, finishing up the last of her dinner. She didn't really care what Heeseung was planning with Ni-ki as long as it helped the I-Landers. So far, Heeseung had been nothing but a helpful leader.

And when he did finally reveal his plans to everyone, the girl didn't feel any different.

Minyoung saw it as an opportunity to show off her preparation so far and how she didn't fall behind people with years of training. Some of the girls, especially Soojin and Sophie had openly expressed their concerns over her getting a higher part in the song simply because of how long (or short, to be accurate) her training period was. She's got to show them.

And show them, she did. Though Heeseung only told her that she did 'good,' the proud beam she got from Ni-ki and the surprised and impressed sounds from the trainees told her more than enough.

Unfortunately, some of the others were not so lucky. Nicholas was shaking like a leaf next to her up until his name was called and his nerves had caused him to underperform. Next to him was Sunghoon who'd received comments about being a bit ahead of the beat. Then there was Yeona, who had forgotten a part of the routine and sat down with tears lining her eyes even though neither Heeseung nor Ni-ki had commented anything other than a 'good'.

“Sophie noona, you’re up next,” Ni-ki called out as Sophie stood up to perform. 

“Ahh, what do I dooooo?” Mirae whined beside Minyoung at being the last to perform, latching onto the younger’s waist as she bent down. “I’m so nervous…”

“Why?” Minyoung embraced the girl who practically laid herself in her lap. “You’re just going to show what you’ve been practicing, nothing to be nervous about.”

“But everyone’s watching and it feels burdening to be last,” Mirae pouted, lifting her head up to give Minyoung her best puppy eyes. (Why, though, Minyoung didn’t know. It wasn't like she could make the call to let Mirae not perform.)

“You’ll do fine, do you trust me?” Mirae nodded. “Then don’t think about the audience and just perform like you’ve been practicing.”

“...fine.”

“Mirae-ah, you’re up,” Heeseung looked up from his clipboard. “Please go ahead.” He gave her a small smile. Oh?

Throwing Heeseung a side-eye, Minyoung shifted her focus back to Mirae. 

And genuinely, she didn’t know what the older girl was on. That was literally the best show out of all the trainees and she found herself gawking in disbelief at Mirae’s pout as she sat back down.

"Okay, let's wrap up for today." Heeseung stood up from his place, Ni-ki following his actions with a confused frown on his face. "Thank you everyone, and goodnight." He finally swapped his serious look for a smile, but earned more confused looks from the other trainees.

And for good reason, too.

Even if Heeseung had been acting as a leader and mentor, a lot of the I-Landers including herself had been expecting him (and Ni-ki) to perform at the end. But the '01 liner simply acted like he didn't see the odd looks from some of the trainees as he exited the room with a tired Saebyeok and a zoned-out Sunghoon on his trail.

Murmurs filled the room. “I thought Heeseung-ie was performing as well?” came the question from someone Minyoung guessed was Geonu.

“Were we being evaluated?” Was that Seon?

“Ahh, what?” K, definitely.

Yeona was still sniffling behind her and Nicholas groaned as he laid his head on Minyoung’s shoulder. “Ahh, that was so nerve-wracking…”

“I know,” Mirae cuddled into her other side, using Minyoung as a personal pillow along with the ‘02 boy.

Minyoung felt weird. 

First the disagreement that arose about Heeseung changing the choreography and now this evaluation-like practice time that left some of the I-Landers feeling less confident than before—they felt like warning bells signaling impending doom. The rising issue with Heeseung's methods among the I-Landers told Minyoung that they'd end up having a conversation about this.

She just didn't expect it to come right the next day. But hey, at least the conflict would be resolved, right?

Wrong.

It seemed like getting the leader to change his slightly cold ways of training to something better was only her idea of resolution, because the other I-Landers seemed to have plans of changing the leader himself. And as they all sat gathered, each expressing their own dissatisfaction against their leader, Minyoung found herself staring at the dimly flashing egg instead of meeting anyone’s eye, unable to pick a side.

"With how talented hyung is, it's fitting that you're the center and the leader. But you're so good, and you keep hanging out with people who are good like you, so I feel like there's a divide between us all," Daniel expressed his thoughts, voice tentative.

...what?

'People who were good like him—', did Daniel mean Heeseung's little group of friends who he'd literally known for years? Where was the logic in that, or better—were any of the trainees even trying to be logical anymore?

Minyoung expressed her thoughts, although in a less confronting and more diplomatic manner, and the reactions from some of the I-Landers were instantaneous.

Geonu scrambled to explain that the leader should be easily approachable and not distant, Sophie, Yeonbin and Yeona argued that Heeseung's methods were crumbling their confidence and Seon claimed that Ni-ki would do better as a center after the suggestion from K.

None of their excuses gave Minyoung an explanation as to why the center had to be changed, and not just the leader.

Don't get her wrong. Just because Minyoung (and some other trainees) was able to handle Heeseung's harsh methods, didn't mean everyone else could keep up. Some people needed a more patient and encouraging approach, and that was completely fair. 

But was it a rule for the center to always be the leader? Couldn't Ni-ki or K lead without changing the part distribution?

Saebyeok and Soojin were the ones to shoot her suggestion down this time, not holding back on their blunt words and giving a passive aggressive assurance that Heeseung was a good leader who just needed the I-Landers to trust him. 

Okay, ouch?

Minyoung slumped in her place, unable to hold back a pout at the immediate rejection of her opinion. Sunghoon caught her eye and gave her a sympathetic smile, which made her curl into herself more, not liking the pity in his eyes.

"Guys, please," The subject of the conversation had had enough, "I knew this would happen, which was why I was hesitant about being the center." Heeseung kept his eyes on the ground, making Minyoung wince at the disappointment on his face. "I'd personally like it if someone else took Part 1."

The resolution in his voice was obvious, which was what kept Saebyeok and Soojin from arguing when Ni-ki was made center and leader.

It wasn't like Minyoung was opposed to the decision—Ni-ki was really good, better than many other I-Landers, in fact—but she couldn’t help but feel that it was too rushed. (Because why would you pick 'better' if you knew you had the best right in front of you?)

What was done, was done though. She trusted the 14-year-old when he claimed he could pull it off, and as long as the results were good, Minyoung was happy.

Saebyeok, though? Not so much.

Minyoung settled into her bed, ready to rest after the long day when Saebyeok came bursting her way into the red room. Flinching at the sudden appearance, Minyoung called out from under her blanket, "You okay?"

"Okay? Do I look okay to you?!" Saebyeok snapped, getting on the bed with Minyoung and crawling under the blanket. "This place is filled with a bunch of ungrateful—" Saebyeok stopped herself from cursing and heaved a sigh, suddenly aware of the cameras despite having removed her mic— "people."

Turning on her side to face Minyoung, Saebyeok put a hand on the younger's cheek. "Sorry for snapping." The girl smoothed her fingers down the flesh of Minyoung's cheek, voice significantly softer. “Now, and earlier…”

"No, it’s okay." Minyoung scooted closer to the '01 liner. "It’s natural to be upset, and I bet Heeseung oppa feels even worse."

"Poor boy said he wanted some time alone," Saebyeok closed her eyes, voice lowering to a whisper. “If I were him, I’d have had these rascals crying by the time I’d be done with them.”

Minyoung hummed to show that she was listening, not wanting to interrupt her since she understood Saebyeok’s need to let out steam. “These guys who think they can control everything, they don't know how this show works.” The older girl frowned, making her look like an angry puppy. (No calling Saebyeok a puppy when she’s mad, Minyoung reminded herself.) “They think Heeseung was being harsh? Wait till the producers or directors come for an evaluation…”

Right, there was that. Minyoung sighed, drawing the blanket closer to herself. This was an unnecessary amount of stress for a 16-year-old to be handling. 

"Where's Mirae, by the way?" Saebyeok asked, opening her eyes to look at the empty, still made bed beside her own.

"Don't know," Minyoung whispered back, "been missing since dinner." 

The conversation died there as the girls fell into a thoughtful silence.

Saebyeok's words made sense the more Minyoung thought about it. There was no way the judges were gonna go easy on them, and Heeseung’s slightly-harsh-but-really-helpful training would have ensured that no one fell behind, that was for sure.

But the girl didn't realize just how true those words would turn out to be until it hit her right in the face. And even if it was not quite literal, it hurt just the same.

It was during the mid-point evaluation that things started going down, and wrong.

The evaluation itself came unexpectedly, and the I-Landers were flustered to say the least, by the appearance of such a well-respected senior. And while Minyoung hadn't been expecting any less, Rain's unconventional yet strict training methods threw everyone off their loops, leading to mistakes in the performance.

Rain was pretty understanding about them, but his warning of an immediate improvement being required left the I-Landers in a state of anxiety and confusion. Especially because everyone thought they'd been doing well so far. And that was exactly how Minyoung found herself in the living room of their temporary home, holding Ni-ki's hand with just one thing on her mind.

Someone needed to tape Seon's mouth shut.

He was the one who was so insistent about making Ni-ki the center just a day ago, but with just one hiccup down the line, his mind had suddenly changed. Now he was agreeing with Geonu who suggested that Heeseung should take back his position for the sake of vocals.

"It's a problem that Ni-ki can't sing well." Minyoung listened to Seon's reasoning, curious as to how he was going to justify his decisions this time round. "And it's not that he can't sing well—" Minyoung frowned, where was he going with this? "—he just can't sing at all."

…

What the fuck?

Minyoung snapped her head to him at breakneck speed, eyes shooting imaginative daggers at him that she almost wished were real at that moment. There was simply no way he said that when his dancing was like that.

No offense—actually, Minyoung did mean offense this time. 

Seon deserved no respect from her when he himself was utterly disrespectful to everyone but the ones he deemed were of benefit to him. And by the offended gasps the other girls let out at his words, Minyoung knew they agreed.

Just as her brain said fuck it and she opened her mouth to give him a piece of her mind, a squeeze on her hand interrupted her.

Glancing down briefly at the hand holding hers, the girl turned to meet a sad pair of eyes. Ni-ki shook his head lightly as if telling her that it wasn't worth it. Oh poor boy...

Looking back at Seon with a weak glare that no one noticed, she opted to listen to the younger’s prompt of staying silent, shifting her palm to properly intertwine her fingers with Ni-ki's. He was right in stopping her though—as much as she wished to put Seon in his place, it would only make her look disrespectful to the viewers. 

But of course, Minyoung shouldn't have forgotten the presence of a tigress in I-Land who went by the name of the rising sun, and like the sun did, Saebyeok didn't miss the opportunity to burn.

"What do you mean, Oppa?" She tilted her head with a confused look on her face that Minyoung would have believed was innocent, had she not known about her unnie's coy mannerisms. "He just made a couple small mistakes, nothing that couldn't be fixed."

"But he got it all wrong when we sang together earlier," Seon was quick to justify himself, referring to the 'after-evaluation evaluation' that Ni-ki went through with Saebyeok, Seon and Geonu in the purple room. 

"Ehh?" Saebyeok scoffed with a silly grin, acting like she heard a really funny joke, "Of course he's gonna go off-pitch if his 'teacher' started him off with the wrong key." She nudged her chin at him teasingly, not bothering to hide that she was directly dissing him.

Pfft. 

Minyoung couldn't help but snicker under her breath at that, smiling at the giggles from the other girls.

"Uhh, w-well I—" The humiliation on Seon's face almost made Minyoung feel bad for him, but she couldn't help but find it even funnier when Soojin interrupted him to ask what their next step should be.

“We should decide the center today though, stretching this out will not end well.”

Right, focus on the matter at hand, Minyoung told herself, squeezing Ni-ki's hand again when all eyes turned to him. Ni-ki kept his head down, biting his lower lip in thought. 

“I’d like to keep my position.” Ni-ki’s voice retained some of its usual firmness, and Minyoung felt grateful that Seon’s comments hadn’t affected his confidence even if she was sure that he was hurt. 

Some I-Landers were obvious in their disappointment with his choice, but their murmurs of complaint had no effect because Heeseung had refused to take Part 1 unless Ni-ki let him have it.

And though Minyoung wasn’t in complete agreement either, she couldn’t bring herself to question the boy when he was so confident that he could do it even as he was sobbing into his hands.

“I’m sorry for messing up,” he sniffled, bringing his head up to meet her eye for the first time since they entered the yellow room. Though she was glad he seemed to be feeling better, why he was apologizing to her, Minyoung had no idea.

She watched him quietly, not knowing what to say as he wiped his eyes with his sleeve before turning to her. Smiling, she brought a hand to wrap around his shoulder, expecting him to curl into her embrace. Instead, he lightly shrugged her hand off to wrap her up in his arms, making her lean on him.

“Thank you, Noona.” His voice was rough with the amount of crying he did, but he sounded composed when he spoke. “You too, Hyung.” He leaned back further on to K, pulling Minyoung so that she had her head resting on his stomach.

"Aigoo, it’s okay." K ruffled Ni-ki's hair lightly, wrapping his own arms around the boy to allow them a more comfortable position.

A few breaths passed as the three enjoyed the comforting silence. But the suddenness of the evaluation and the stress of the events that followed caught up to them, and Ni-ki’s rumbling stomach finally broke the silence. Bursting into laughter, the boys sat up as Minyoung stood from the couch.

“I’ll go make us something to eat,” she said, the smugness in her voice betraying that she’d already planned what she’d be making. Ni-ki didn’t protest, feeling way too hungry to hold on any longer, and K was quick to send her off with a happy wave, claiming that he had some important matters to discuss with the younger boy.

Hmm, sussy sus…

Choosing to ignore K’s off behavior, Minyoung left the room with a goal of making Ni-ki happy with her choice of food. Minyoung might despise the act of cooking, if it was to cheer a dear friend up, she'd do it without complaint. 

Just one thing though. How do you make mabo dofu again? 

Ni-ki had mentioned it earlier that day, claiming to miss his mother’s go-to dinner choice and so, Minyoung wished to give him the feeling of home. Forgetting how to make it though, was not in the plan. 

(It was her own fault honestly, she’d gone too long without actually cooking to still remember the recipes she’d learnt five years ago.)

As she stood in the kitchen staring holes through the pack of tofu as if it’d cook itself if she stared long enough, she didn’t notice the curious pair of eyes that peeped over her shoulder until the owner spoke right in her ears.

“Need some help with that?”

“Oh!” Minyoung turned around to find an amused Jay staring down at her. “Jay oppa, you’re not asleep yet?”

“Was just heading to bed when I found you standing here with a huge loading sign spinning over your head,” he teased, grabbing the tofu from her. “What were you trying to make?”

“Mabo Dofu, you know what that is?” 

Jay ignored her question, “For yourself?”

“For three.”

Minyoung followed after Jay who headed to the pantry upon hearing the reply, “Whoa, what? How do you know how to make it?” the girl questioned with wide eyes, seeing him grab a pack of minced pork.

“Heat the rice for me, yeah?” Jay ignored her question again and held out two packs of instant rice, before suddenly retracting them to smirk at her. “Or is it considered below Princess I-Don’t-Like-To-Cook to do such a trivial task?”

“Oh shush,” she playfully scoffed at him, snatching the rice from him and ignoring his chuckles as she headed out to heat it up.

As she sat in a crouch in front of the microwave, staring at Jay as he worked his magic, a shadow loomed over her and grabbed her attention.

Nicholas smiled down at her. “Whatcha doin’ down there?”

Minyoung wordlessly pointed at Jay like the sight of the boy chopping onions would explain her position on the ground. Nicholas stared at Jay, then turned to Minyoung, then looked at Jay again before bursting into laughter.

“Okay.” He crouched down next to her. “I’m guessing he’s making your dinner?” he probed, well aware of Minyoung’s aversion. 

“Yeah, isn’t he so nice?” Minyoung looked back at Jay with a gaze of admiration. “I wanted to make something for Ni-ki, but I forgot the recipe so…” She shrugged with her lower lip jutting out, earning a hum from the boy. 

“I’m so worried about the performance,” Nicholas admitted, voice lowering with the change in topic. “It’s just day three and yet it feels like everything’s falling apart.” 

Grabbing his hand, Minyoung squeezed it. “We can’t decide that we’re going to do bad before we actually do it, Oppa.” The girl didn’t like his pessimistic mood. “We’ll practice hard with a positive outcome in mind.”

Nicholas sighed, throwing his head back. “You’re right, but it’s so hard to focus when some problem or other keeps coming up.”

“I know, but don’t you think the main problem is that we’re all looking at the center with a magnifying glass but forgetting that every one of us must do well to score high?”

The girl could literally see the light bulb go off inside Nicholas’ head at her words. “That—I didn’t think that way at all…” he seemed sheepish with the revelation.

Minyoung just smiled. A lot of the other I-Landers didn’t, either.

“Food’s ready,” Jay called, interrupting the conversation.

“Oh, really? Thank you so much!” Minyoung stood up to catch Jay in a grateful hug, earning a pat on the head. 

“Eat well~”

Wishing Nicholas a good night, she placed the cutlery, the rice and the main dish on a huge tray before heading to the yellow room. 

Pausing before the door, Minyoung took a deep breath in. She should leave all worries outside the room before entering—food should never be a victim to one’s feelings of sorrow, stress or anger.

If the universe decided to be kind to them, all would go well, they wouldn't end up performing horribly.

Horrible. This was absolutely horrible.

Minyoung hid her face in her hands, feeling the shame wrap around her. The girls had scored a little higher than the boys, but even that was a humiliating number.

76   67   64   52   51   48 

Average: 60

Minyoung screwed her eyes shut. They were absolutely done for.

Three female I-Landers must be eliminated.

Half. That was half of all the girls in I-Land. The boys had a similar fate, all of them groaning and whining at the thought of having to eliminate six people.

Minyoung felt the dread and anxiety tighten their hold on her throat, making it hard to breathe. Truthfully, she’d felt good about her performance, but there were enough girls who still thought less of her skills which could result in a possible elimination. And the system’s announcement about the lack of a debut chance for the Grounders was all she could think about as she tried to catch her breath.

Forcing herself to calm down and take some deep breaths, Minyoung regained her ability to breathe after a couple minutes. The only way to keep herself from losing her mind was to think that she’d be eliminated for sure. At least she wouldn’t be surprised if it actually happened. 

The voting will commence in 2 hours. You may go check your scores one by one in the voting room.

Alright, thanks Robot-nim…

Minyoung’s name was called right when she had found the strength to get up and settle into Mirae’s lap. “No, don’t go~” Mirae whined, tightening her arms around Minyoung’s waist.

“I have to, though~” Minyoung whined back using the same tone as the older girl as she detangled herself from the tight hold Mirae had on her. “I’ll be back in a jiffy, I prommy,” Minyoung baby-talked her, earning the usual puppy-eyed look and a nod from her unnie, who was truthfully the only one keeping her sane with her exaggerated aegyo in the tense situation.

But it seemed like Mirae herself wasn’t holding up very well. Minyoung could tell just from the look on her face as the older girl came downstairs after checking her own score, that her anxiety was getting the best of her. The smile she always wore was gone and her eyes were glossy like she was tearing up. Minyoung wasn’t so happy with her 64 either, but by the looks of it, her unnie needed more cheering up than her.

“Shall we go upstairs?” Minyoung tried to distract her from whatever score Mirae had seen inside the voting room. Upon receiving a nod, she locked arms with her unnie and practically dragged her upstairs, trying to catch up with Saebyeok and Yeona who she saw were on their way to the pink room.

Knocking on the door just as it closed, Minyoung invited herself and Mirae in. 

“Hey, you two,” Saebyeok greeted with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes as she sat down on Yeona’s bed.

“Hello,” came the lifeless voice of Yeona.

“What are you doing here all alone?” Minyoung sat next to Yeona, giving Mirae the space between the older girls. Nodding at Saebyeok who showed her the performance video paused on the i-Pad she held, Minyoung scooted closer. “Let’s watch, then.”

The two hours somehow flew by, with the girls replaying the video over and over even though it wasn’t much help in deciding the eliminated candidates. 

It was hard to even think about sending someone off. Six days wasn’t a lot of time to get too attached to the girls, but Minyoung had grown fond of all of them in some way even if there hadn’t been much interaction. Technically, it was a rule of I-Land that someone was always going to be replacing someone else, but it wouldn’t hurt any less to watch them leave.

And she certainly wasn’t okay when the candidates were announced after the voting, two hours later.

Receiving 5 votes, Sophie

Minyoung tried her best to not look in the girl’s direction. She couldn’t help but notice the girl’s poor form while dancing, and it seemed like the others did, too.

Receiving 4 votes, Kim Soojin

Now, she was someone Minyoung felt guilty about voting for. Not because she thought Soojin didn’t deserve it, but because of the way Saebyeok sobbed next to her when she heard the name. Minyoung knew that Soojin’s departure would break Saebyeok’s heart, but she had to stay fair to her own conscience and vote for the person who didn’t meet her standards. This was a competition after all.

Minyoung would have never guessed how hard it would become to keep up that belief until she heard the next name.

Receiving 4 votes, Kang Mirae

Ah, the irony. 

It was kind of funny. All her life, Minyoung never thought of herself as a crier. It had to be some hocus-pocus shit done by the cube because she found herself in tears for the second time in the same week, for the exact same reason.

So much for promising herself to keep calm.

The boys were all crying too, having surprised themselves by eliminating some unexpected I-Landers, like Jay. (All the while Seon got to stay, something that confused Minyoung greatly.)

She tried to keep the tears from falling though, not wanting to upset the eliminated candidates any further. Especially Ni-ki, who seemed to be holding back from bursting into tears himself.

He quietly stayed by her side, watching her bid long, teary goodbye’s to Mirae, Nicholas, Jay, Jake and anyone who came forward to greet her. Only when she was done and he was sure to have her full attention, did he finally move closer. The look on his face was calmer than before, like he had accepted his fate. 

"Don't cry, please." He brought up a hand to pat her head. 

Minyoung frowned at his unusual action, but accepted his affection without voicing her thoughts.

Since when was he older than her?

His weird behavior momentarily distracted her from the situation at hand, but she was quickly reminded of it again when the system voice asked the eliminated I-Landers to leave through the Gate.

"Take care of yourself, alright?" Minyoung reached up to rub the hand that was still on her head, eyes glassing up again. "And make sure to come up next time."

Ni-ki's eyes were softened with guilt and regret as he forced a smile. "I promise I’ll come back. Wait for me, okay?"

She would definitely hold him to that word.

Taking a seat in her designated chair, Minyoung kept her head down as she replayed the events of the past week.

And no matter how she thought about it, there seemed to be no denying that the results would have turned out far better if the I-Landers hadn't changed Heeseung’s role as both center and leader.

While Ni-ki was good at fine-tuning the performance, he hadn’t managed to get all the I-Landers up to standard. And though his vocals were definitely corrected by the time they performed, they didn’t match up to Heeseung's honeyed voice. And as the center, all eyes went to him first, making his role all the more important.

Minyoung knew that neither Ni-ki nor Heeseung were to blame though—they’d both given their all. It was some of the other I-Landers who were at fault, trusting neither themselves nor their leaders and basically jeopardizing the performance with their doubts.

And Minyoung couldn’t deny that it was her own fault, too. There were many opportunities where she could have spoken up firmer, could have opposed the decisions which she felt were wrong and yet she chose to remain silent after a couple rejections. And though it didn’t affect her directly (thank god for that), a loss to the team was still a loss.

Regret was something Minyoung never felt, being used to owning her decisions regardless of its outcome being positive or negative. But the whole thing gave her a new resolve for the future tests.

To never let the I-Landers who had beans for brains mislead the others again.

BONUS SCENE

D-4 I-Land Practice Room, First Floor 11.45 PM

Peeking inside the lounge of the smaller practice room, Mirae called out with a tentative voice, “Can I come in?”

Heeseung, who’d been deep in thought until her arrival, turned around with a startled look, earning a sheepish giggle from the girl. “Oops, sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you…”

“No problem, come in.” Heeseung waved his hand lightly. She held in the instinct to pout at the emptiness in his eyes as she trod over the soft carpet. 

He laughed suddenly, eyes creasing with a genuine smile as he looked down at something. Following his gaze, she realized it was the fluffy pink Hello Kitty socks she was wearing, feeling a fond smile creep up at the fact that he was finally laughing.

She took a seat next to him, grabbing a cushion to hold over her lap.

For a while the two stayed awkwardly silent, Mirae not knowing what to say despite having been the one to approach him and Heeseung feeling too aware of himself with the girl next to him.

“Thank you,” she spoke after a couple minutes of quietness, “you’ve been giving your best in helping us all.” Turning to look at him, she whipped her head back down when she caught his eye. “I’m sorry you got your spot taken.”

“I’m not.” Heeseung shook his head, making the girl look back at him. “I’m fine with part 13.”

“Why is that?” 

He shrugged instead of answering. Mirae let it be at that, closing her eyes as she settled back into the plush of the seats. 

“Thank you,” came Heeseung’s voice, this time as a whisper. Though it wasn’t wordy, his gratefulness was conveyed clearly enough.

Mirae smiled. “Anytime, Oppa.”

જ⁀➴ ♡ This is our 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡 love - Nishimura Riki

(synopsis) ♧ y/l/n y/n was a sweet hufflepuff who had fallen for the devil, or in this case—nishimura riki. he was a slytherin who had quite a reputation in hogwarts but even though everyone told y/n to stay away from him, she just couldn’t. but he would never fall for her…right? ⋆⭒˚.⋆

slytherin!nishimura riki x hufflepuff!reader ♧ some angst, fluff ♧ catcalling (once), cursing, riki saves reader from some gross guys, a kiss at the end ♧ she fell first but he fell harder ♧ wc 2.1k

y/l/n y/n was one of the sweetest, kindest, soft-hearted people you will ever meet in your life. she belonged in hufflepuff and the sorting hat didn’t even need to touch her head before knowing that she was a hufflepuff.

nishimura riki was one of the most cold-hearted, snarky people you will ever meet. he had a huge reputation in hogwarts as the slytherin. he was always surrounded by his group of friends and a trail of fangirls following, wishing for even just a small glance their way—that never happened.

so when these two polar opposites cross paths, will they be able to get along? or will they ignore one another and continue living their lives separately?

the cold, winter air reminded y/n that the holidays were just around the corner, and so were the exams. she had been studying every second she got, preparing for the exams before her nice, long break.

as she walked through the gates, into the quidditch field, she saw the slytherin team gathered on the field. deciding to ignore them, y/n pulled her scarf closer to her face, and passed by.

“hey princess, why don’t you meet me at the common room later tonight and i can show you a great time!” one of the players called out. y/n winced at the harsh words but tried to ignore them, picking up her pace.

“hey! i’m talking to you!” geez, he wouldn’t give up. she turned on her heel, facing the quidditch team, hoping the guy would leave her alone after she looked at him and politely declined. instead of just one guy, she was faced by three, slowly moving closet to her and it gave her the ick.

"don't you know when someone's talking to you?" one of the three guys grunted. y/n recognized one of them as blaise zabini, one of nishimura riki's friends.

before the three could get any closer, a voice cut them off.

"yah! come on, we have practice to continue. stop being perverts and leave the girl alone," y/n recognized that deep, husky voice. it belonged to nishimura riki. great, i'm screwed now, she thought to herself.

"you okay?" a voice surprised her and looking up to see who it was, she was greeted with the handsome face of nishimura riki.

"y-yeah. thanks for helping me.." she murmured, suddenly feeling shy under the piercing gaze. the boy just nodded before walking away, back to practice.

y/n was now intrigued. she wanted to know what riki was actually like instead of perceiving him based off of rumors other students had told her.

but since they were the exact opposite of each other, it might be hard for y/n to get closer to him.

the following day, y/n was in her usual spot in the library, her nose tucked into the book she was focused on. however, she must've been so concentrated that she didn't notice the person sitting in the chair across from her.

it wasn't until the person placed their books down that y/n noticed their presence, jumping in her seat slightly.

"oh hi again! sorry, i didn't see you," she said, offering a warm smile to the boy across from her. once again, she ran into nishimura riki but this time, in a place she didn't expect to see him. he just nodded before pretending to study.

riki wasn't exactly a huge fan of the academics, but he was able to barely pass his classes. but after that interaction he had with this mysterious girl yesterday, he was intrigued to learn more about her.

he asked one of his teammates who the girl was and that's where he learned her name. y/l/n y/n.

he did know who she was because everyone in the hogwarts knows of "hufflepuff's sweethearts" which was a group of girls who were nothing but sweet and kind. y/n in particular though was the most popular out of all of them because people found her extra kind.

but the thing that shocked everyone once they get to know her better was the fact that she didn’t have a boyfriend. all of the other girls in the group have their partners but y/n doesn't. everyone is usually shocked by it because she's the kindest, yet she hasn't gotten a boyfriend yet.

it wasn't that no one had crushes on her—they did—but because y/n believed that none of them were the one for her.

y/n had been noticing riki more and more and she was starting to think it wasn't just a coincidence.

he would show up in the library at the same times y/n would, sitting right across from her and just reading a textbook. or he would purposefully seek her out and then "accidentally" bump into her.

riki was confused though. why was she making his heart feel this way? what were all these feelings he felt whenever he caught a glimpse of y/n?

y/n was going through a similar crisis as riki. she's never had a crush before so she wouldn't exactly know what to feel if she did have one, but she was sure that the feelings she felt whenever she would catch the gaze of riki was what a crush felt like. her heart would flutter when their eyes met, and she would quickly look away, turning into a blushing mess.

as the two of them lay in their own beds, one question lingered in their heads..am i in love?

this was driving riki absolutely insane now. he had come to the realization that he did in fact like y/n but how would he ever have a shot with her when people around her were telling her to stay away from riki cause he's "bad news". he prayed that she didn't listen to what they had to say about him and maybe had feelings for him as well?

y/n was going mad. left and right, she had people telling her to stay away from nishimura riki either because it was out of her well-being or it was some of riki's fangirls. she had accepted the fact that nishimura riki was her first crush but with the amount of people coming up to her everyday, she was getting very tired of it.

"hey wait up!" y/n stopped and turned around at the sound of a deep voice calling out to her. there, she was greeted with riki’s handsome face, a soft smile on his face.

“oh? hi riki, did you need something?” y/n asked, shuffling her feet around nervously. she noticed a couple of people whispering on the sides and sending judgmental looks towards her way. it sent a shiver town her spine.

“oh uhh no, i just wanted to ask you something,” riki replied awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck.

“go ahead!” y/n smiled brightly. god did that do something to riki.

“umm..yeah so, i was wondering if you maybe wanted to go on a date?…with me?…i know we don’t really know each other, but i just..” riki mumbled the last bit, not exactly knowing what else to say.

this was most definitely not what y/n was expecting. in all honesty, y/n didn’t even know what to expect. but definitely not this.

“no no no! i mean- yes! i will, i do want to!” y/n blurted.

“really? how about you meet me in the slytherin common rooms tomorrow at 12?” his eyes brightened, realizing that he was finally able to get the girl of his dreams.

“that sounds good! see you tomorrow then!” y/n smiled, probably as red as a tomato.

as the two parted ways, y/n noticed how whispers followed her everywhere she went. she only then realized that it was all because she agreed to a date with nishimura riki. the school’s “bad boy”.

today was the day of her date. all of y/n’s friends told her that even though they were unsure about riki, they trusted her and her decisions.

they helped her get ready, making sure that she was drop dead gorgeous. y/n could feel the butterflies fluttering around in her stomach. she was so nervous yet excited.

as she made her way over to the slytherin common rooms, she heard a couple of voices, making her pause before entering.

“oh come on nishimura, you’re not actually gonna date that hufflepuff. i don’t even know what you see in her besides for her pretty face,” y/n recognized the voice as draco malfoy’s. maybe he was right. why was riki even going on a date with her? it wasn’t like they even had much interactions with each other. was that all she was? a pretty face who was easy an easy game to play?

before she could realize, tears were pricking at her eyes. but she wanted to wait for riki to defend her. to say that he actually did like her too and he wanted this. but she never heard him speak up. the silence was deafening and each passing second of silence was like a stab to her heart.

she turned to scurry off, but of course, her foot just had to hid the door and make a noise, catching the attention of all the boys in the room.

“shit- it’s 12- fuck, y/n wait!” but riki was too late. he caught a glimpse of her glossy eyes before she ran off. fuck. there goes all his chances with her.

“uh oh. looks like nishimura’s girl heard-”

“shut the fuck off malfoy!” riki spat, ready to fuck him up. the pure anger in riki’s eyes were enough to shut draco up for good. “keep y/n’s names out of your filthy mouths or i’ll be sure to fuck you up.” he seethed before running out of the room and trying to make things right.

y/n was sat under the quidditch field bleachers, her head tucked into her knees, feeling so stupid and ashamed of herself. mostly because she had fallen for nishimura riki. what else was expected of him? of course he didn't actually like her. silent tears rolled down her cheeks as she bundled up her sleeve to wipe them away.

"y/n?? y/n are you here?" a voice startled her. his voice. y/n didn't know whether she wanted to hear him out or not. would she be able to face the harsh reality?

gathering whatever energy she had left, she pushed herself up and out from beneath the bleachers. riki immediately saw her and ran to her, praying she would hear him out.

"y/n! please let me explain! it's just draco running his mouth again! i promise this was genuine!" he begged. at this point, he would do anything for your forgiveness.

"is it true?...that you only got with me cause i was easy?" y/n whispered, afraid that if she spoke any louder, she would crumble.

"no! never! i swear that all my feelings were genuine. i know i shouldn't have let malfoy say all that shit about you. you're so much more than a pretty face, you have such a sweet and kind personality and you let me feel like an actual person rather than the reputation i've made for myself." riki rambled, running a hand through his hair.

y/n let those words sink in. so he really did like her back.

"you like me back?" she asked, finally making eye contact with the boy. riki could've sworn his heart almost broke when he locked eyes with your red and puffy eyes caused by tears. tears he caused to fall.

"i like you so much y/l/n y/n. and i mean it," he said softly, bringing a hand up to y/n's face and brushing the hair out of her face.

it's like time has stopped when I am next to you

riki slowly moved in closer to y/n, a hand wrapping around her waist.

it’s like a black hole in another dimension

the connection between the two was strong and y/n knew that he had to be the one she was waiting for all these years.

anomaly, like before light and space

the soft lighting of the sun hidden behind the clouds made the moment more surreal.

you are my absolute law, more significant than gravity

"can i kiss you?" riki whispered onto y/n's lips, their faces only centimeters apart.

a love that goes beyond words

"yes," and with that, riki smashed his lips against y/n's, their lips fitting together like puzzle pieces.

this is our paranormal love

the kiss was so soft yet filled with feeling. riki wanted to let y/n know how much he actually loved her. how much he's been wanting to do this.

more than normal love

y/n and riki stood under the bleachers, sharing a kiss full of love and passion. they were at the place where it all started. the quidditch field.

you arе my paranormal love

pulling away breathless, the two smiled so brightly. riki rested his forehead against y/n's, closing his eyes to savor this feeling and moment.

comfort — nishimura riki

⭑ looking for love where i left it . idol!ni-ki + f!reader . wc 0.4k

riki wanted to cry. his morning had been horrible, the boy waking up ten minutes late and rushing out without his good morning kiss from his favorite girl, and his practice session had been even worse.

he felt like he couldn’t do anything right today, as he faltered for the fourth time that hour. “ ni-ki ssi, your leg isn’t in the correct position, start over. “

even the comforting pats on the back from his hyungs didn’t do anything to lighten his mood, and he sulked as he took the bus back home. all he wanted was to come home and lie in your arms, with you running your hands through his hair. he loved spending time with you more than anything else, and today he needed you more than anything.

“ baby ? are you home ? “ he looked around in search of your small figure, as he took his shoes off. his growing happiness seemed to slightly waver as he found you lightly chatting away on your phone, engrossed in a call with your friend.

nonetheless, your company was enough and the couch sunk beneath his weight as he lay in your lap, big brown eyes looking up at your face. yet when even after half an hour of endless giggling, he still wasn’t wrapped up in your arms, riki started to get restless.

“ babyyy “ he whined as you lightly slapped his hand away, gesturing for him to wait.

another half hour and riki had had enough. he sighed as he made his way to your room and flung himself onto the freshly made bed. not even ten minutes later, you walked through the door in search of your boyfriend.

“ riks, i’m done, do you want to sleep for a while ? “ you couldn’t help but giggle as he sulked at you, but rolled towards your side of the bed nonetheless. it was times like this that you couldn’t help but wonder how you landed such a beautiful boy.

“ sorry for taking so long baby, i’m here now. “ riki had long forgotten about it once you started tracing lines on his shoulders, hands comfortingly running through his hair. all the worries he had had earlier seemed to have vanished as drifted to sleep.

he felt grateful that he was the only one who got to see this pretty person before he closed his eyes every night.

nishimura riki x fem!reader 🍂fluff, crack 🍂 petnames, kisses 🍂 mentions of knives 🍂 ni-ki and reader are so silly 🍂 wc 344

masterlist

“ahh ki!!! you’re getting pumpkin guts everywhere!!” you screamed, trying to avoid the mess your boyfriend was making.

the two of you had decided that since it was now “spooky month”, you needed to carve pumpkins.

so here you were now, with two pumpkins on the table, being gutted very violently by riki.

“i told you! i’m a pro, do not fear m’lady!!” he laughed, still slicing open the pumpkins.

when he had fully cleaned out the pumpkins, you prepared the carving knives so you two could make all sorts of funky designs.

“hmm whatcha gonna make little love?” he asks, already mischievously planning his own pumpkin.

“it’s a surprise!” you giggled, turning your pumpkin away from him in a childish manner.

the two of you sat in a comfortable silence with soft music in the background.

you and riki were very focused on making this pumpkin the best thing ever.

“ta da!!” you cheer, showing off your cute new pumpkin with a little duck face carved into it.

“is that supposed to be me?” riki jokes, knowing how much you liked comparing him with a cute baby duck.

“maybe..yah! now show me yours!” you laugh, expecting something totally riki.

and oh was it…unique….

“i know, it’s beautiful,” he smirked. it was a very accurate representation of his jay hyung…the roblox man face….

“is that jay oppa?!?” you laugh, clutching onto your stomach.

the two of you both agreed not to tell jay or else he would probably chase the poor kids all around korea.

“wait! let me get the candles so we can light them up!” rushing out of your chair, you quickly run into the kitchen where you had set the candles on the counter.

“here you go ki,” you said, handing him a candle.

you both lit your candles and then closed the top of your pumpkins to fully enjoy the effect.

“i’d say we did well,” riki smiled, planting a kiss on your head.

“very,” you hummed, snuggling into riki’s side.

“happy spooky month little love,”

“happy spooky month ki.”

happy fall!! i thought this would be a fun and cute little drabble for riki. hope you enjoyed! if you did, please make sure to like and reblog! i appreciate all your support <3

Four | Homework

//

Even after debuting, Yuna is still interning with Hyowon.

She prefers is that way. She would hate to lose her access to a professional recording studio, or her access to someone as knowledgeable as Pdogg. But by being an intern, she's occasionally given homework, aka some sort of work to complete on her own and turn in to Hyowon by a deadline.

Unfortunately, her day job and her internship don't always correspond. Sometimes, she's the busiest she's ever been with promotions for "Given-Taken," so much so that she has no chance to get to the studio (while also going to school and sleeping an appropriate amount) to record her required "one song every two weeks" that Hyowon started enforcing to get her out of her head so much about what is good enough to bring to completion.

Most of the boys are in the living room when she hovers in the doorway of the second bedroom.

"I have to record a song for my internship. Does anyone need to use the makeup room?"

Jay is absorbed in his video game and takes advantage of Sunoo getting distracted to do... something that probably means he wins or whatever. No one jumps to object, so maybe it really was that easy and Yuna spent the last half hour trying to psych herself up over nothing.

"I think we're good, Jiyu," Jungwon gives her a verbal response, which she appreciates.

"You're recording a song? Like, for our next comeback?" Jake asks.

"Uh, no. It's like homework? From Hyowon—Pdogg. For my internship. I usually record in the studio but we've been busy, so…”

"Oh, cool. Can I listen?"

"...right now?"

"Yeah. If that's cool with you."

Jake stands and that makes it feel like Yuna doesn't have a choice, now. She could probably very easily still say no, or maybe offer for him to listen when she's done recording and editing. Or she could just say no. But she doesn't.

Instead, she says, "Okay. I guess."

Ten minutes later she ends up back in the living room, this time with all seven of her members sitting on the ground in front of her while she props her phone up awkwardly on the couch armrest.

It had been a long debacle of each member wanting to sit in on her recording session, slowly pulling into the makeup room one by one. It didn't take long for it to become overcrowded and everyone relocated back into the living room. The acoustics probably aren’t as good out here.

Yuna has had her performances broadcasted to millions. She has a surprisingly large and loyal fan base already after only a few weeks of being a fully debuted artist. She gets thousands of likes within seconds anytime she posts online.

Singing a short song in front of seven people shouldn't be daunting. It's not a big deal. She barely had any time to flesh it out over the last two weeks on account of her hectic schedule. It's fine if it's not perfect. It doesn't need to be.

(Except to Yuna, it does. Because anything less that perfect isn't good enough. Anything less than perfect will never be good enough for anyone, especially herself, because if she isn't intrinsically perfect, she's worthless.

And even though she can tell herself that's ludicrous and she knows it's a ridiculous line of thought, it's how she thinks. She thinks she will never be good enough.)

She has to restart three times because her hands won't stop shaking and she can't play the strings on her guitar right. Then, she gets most of the way through but has to go back because she didn't take a good enough breath before the bridge. But she does eventually stumble her way to the end of her under-produced wreck of a song.

She expects side eyes and judging looks from her members for all her mistakes. That's how her mother would react. When Yuna made her first song when she was four years old, her mom kept telling her it was quiet time until she got the hint and stopped singing.

Only when Yuna had made what she thought was a particularly good song, would she try and show her mom. But she was always too busy with Andrew to really pay attention to her daughter. Eventually, Yuna stopped trying altogether, hoarding her craft unless an oppurtunity—like a school talent show—presented itself.

Her members reaction is immediate. She doesn't have time to hold her breath and brace for impact, for criticism, to be brushed off for her mediocrity. They start cheering before she's even able to reach over and stop recording, their applause caught on tape. She'll need to cut that out before sending the finished product to Hyowon.

"Wow, you wrote that?"

"You're an amazing lyricist. It's like poetry."

"You really are such a great singer, Jiyu."

Their praise comes easily. Yuna feels stiff and awkward in comparison sitting there and taking it.

The niceties of her mentors or of strangers have stopped meaning as much. It's expected that one is polite to those they do not know (or those they are actively and obviously trying to encourage, in Hyowon's case). But with her members, she can expect honesty.

They are who she will be writing songs for, eventually. Her work with TXT had been minuscule and very closely monitored. She had hoped to be more involved in Enhypen's debut mini album than she was but she understands these things take time and she is unseasoned, also incredibly young.

In the future, though, she hopes to be her team's main producer. That is a far off dream, the one she replaced her last dream of being an idol with. Without a grand goal to strive towards, she feels lost, so she spends what little free time she has honing her skills in music writing and reaching for the next big thing.

She has not spoken to her members about her aspirations in music production but they are aware of her internship and her capacity for songwriting. And now, they have heard her music in its rawest form, ugly and unrefined and up for critique.

They should be truthful with her. They should pick out all her mistakes. They should point out how she played a G major instead of a G major 7 for a second there in the first chorus, a stupid mistake that she debated starting over because of but didn't want to after she fumbled the intro so many times in a row.

They should say her entire "performance" was terrible because she messed up so much at the start. Instead, they're being kind. And it feels genuine?

They're not filming anything today. It's their first day off since they debuted. They have no reason to fake their reactions. There's no one to perform to right now, no personas or fronts to uphold (except the one Yuna wears without rest to appear normal in the face of society's expectations being lost on her).

When they eat dinner, Yuna accepts a portion of the ramen Jay makes. She calls Heeseung “oppa" when referencing something he said earlier in the week. A grin splits his face behind his hand but he doesn’t comment.

(Yuna ends up forgetting to cut out the boys’ cheers when she sends the recording to Hyowon.)
