ateez reactions when their s/o decides to sleep in the closet after an argument

genre: fluff!!!, hurt and comfort?

word count: 0.9k

warnings: lots of fluff <3, cursing, not proofread

a/n: that video was so painfully cute i hate couples ew 🤢 i'm jokinnng i'm just bitter ANYWAYS its a very cute idea and this was so fun to write so please enjoy :D

hongjoong

will be sulking in bed for the longest time. he's super stubborn and doesn't want to give in to your guilt-tripping. but you've made him soft. if it where any of the members, he might of held his ground. but for you, he does feel bad and the guilt starts to chip away at him. so he sighs in defeat and gets up, taking a pillow with him as he enters the closet. he'll sink down next to you and look at you with sleepy eyes. he'll start acting cute with you and eventually you give in, and you both just stay there, cuddling the night away.

seonghwa

feels bad immediately and almsot starts to panic. 'i can't let my partner sleep in the closet. what kind of boyfriend am i??' he'll leave you for a bit to calm down after the argument, which gives him time to grab a load of snacks that you like and some more fluffy blankets. then he will knock on the closet door and enter, cooing at the sight of your curled up body covered in a single blanket. he will settle next to you and give you your snacks before cuddling you from behind. "you're not too sad, are you baby?" i think it's safe to say he is forgiven.

yunho

oh yunho would be devastated honestly. but what hurts him most is the fact that you'd think for one second he would let you sleep alone in the closet. if anyone should be condemned to the closet, it should be him. so he immediately gets up and opens the closet door. "you're not sleeping in here, baby" he'll say softly with a small sigh. when he sees you turning your back to him in protest, his eyebrow will quirk up. "fine." and he will nestle down beside you, hands behind his head as he stares up at the ceiling, waiting for you to turn back round to him. if you were going to budge, he might as well join you.

yeosang

doesn't really know what to do at first but his first instinct is to join you. he doesn't though. he wants you to relax and calm down because the fight was getting pretty heated. hey, he need to calm down himself a bit. will probably make you a hot chocolate as a sort of peace offering? when he finally enters the closet with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders and hot chocolates in both hands, you can't help but melt a bit. you knew he meant well at the end of the day and there's not a malicious bone in his body.

san

how dare you do this to him because 💔💔💔💔 his face will be the purest example of '🥺' like he would have the biggest pout on his lips as he watches you get out of bed and go into the closet with nothing but a thin, lifeless blanket. he will immediately grab the thicker duvet and another fluffy blanket, cocooning himself in them to make him look so fluffy and cuddly you won't be able to resist him. then he shuffling his way to the closet and envelope you in a mountain of fluff. it's hard not to forgive him after this :<

mingi

he's so :((((( probably gets tearful as he watches you walk into the closet by yourself. 'is this is what it has come to?' he thinks. 'i've messed up big time.' he wouldn't know quite what to do at first but joining you jn the closet seems like a plausible option. so he joins you, sitting with his back against the other side of the wall, his long legs extended and touching the side of yours, considering how small the space with. he'd ask if you're okay and if you want him to cuddle you ;-; because ehe just wants to comfort you and tell you he's sorry, making sure your comfortable and not too sad.

wooyoung

ngl he would probably be the one to go in the closet 🚶‍♀️this is wooyoung we're talking about. he doesn't take any shit, and can be dramatic as hell. so when you've been arguing for so long and he gets bored and emotionally drained, he will not say anything. he simply takes a pillow and a blanket, making his way to the closet where you supposed he would be sleeping. and you know how stubborn he is. he would totally stay there for the night if it meant putting up a protest. so after giving him some time to cool down, you emerge from the room into the closet and spoon him from behind while he pouts grumpily >:( he's so damn cute

jongho

he's kinda torn between two options because on the one hand, he feels guilty for you going to sleep in the closet. on the other hand, he doesn't want to give in to your behaviour. so he's sitting bed weighing up his options, trying to figure out what the right thing is to do. he feels that he's guilt and affection for you outweighs everything else. then, he'll sigh and get out of bed, open the closet door and extending a hand for you to take. "come on, let's talk it out" he'll gesture for you to come out of the closet and when you grab his hand to pull yourself up, it feels like a step in the right direction.

Sailor's Wife. psh

Pirate au

TW: ngl this gets kind heavy right in the beginning then it gets kinda soft right at the end so like idk. dom seonghwa, sub reader, degradation, use of the word whore(also wench cuz like pirates), oral, edging, possessiveness, breeding kink. oops, manhandling.

Normally i try my darndest to not get too wordy but for this I let it happen.

@xiuminswifeforever this ones for u. also this got a little carried away but heyyyyy what can ya do.

Also @multidreams-and-desires @a-soft-hornytiny and @eonghwa may possibly probably will enjoy this to so have at it

Perhaps you should be more understanding with your husband Seonghwa. After all, your ship had a name and a reputation to uphold, which would not be possible without the efforts of both him and your captain Hongjoong. But you were still stuck on a ship at sea, without much to do. It had been 4 days since you last made port, and it is likely you wouldn't dock for at least another 10. And with your husband ignoring your needs for the sake of maintaining perfect order on board as First Mate, you were feeling a little stir crazy.

Of course as the First Mates wife, and notable figure amongst the crew you had your own reputation to uphold as both a devoted wife and skilled sailor. So when you and your closest confidantes on board tried to blow off some steam by dipping into the bottles of rum during broad daylight on the top deck of the ship, your antics turn more than a few heads among the lower-ranking members of the crew.

It's true that Seonghwa had been neglecting you, instead spending the hours of the night pouring over maps and charts with the Capitan. And San and Wooyoung had always given you all the attention you missed. So in your slightly inebriated state, your place on Wooyoungs lap touseling his long hair felt more than natural.

The three of you were causing quite a ruckus, laughing, shouting, knocking over barrels and crates, and other general tomfoolery. It was only a short while before your Husband came bursting through the door on the far end of the deck (Capitans Quarters) scanning the ship for the cause of the disturbance.

Once he found it his eyes narrowed. He stalked over to your happy gathering, which had only briefly acknowledged him, with furry radiating of every step. Once he stood glowering before you, you finally gave him your attention.

"Seonghwa! Darling! How nice to see you!" You called, still on Wooyoungs lap. You swung your arms out to him and gestured for him to come to you but he ignored it. The slightly shrill cry of your voice had once again attracted the attention of the crew.

"We don't pay you to gawk. Back to work all of you!" Seonghwas powerful voice carried over to the men, who sprung into action, heads turning quickly away. Seonghwa turned his hard stare back to the three of you.

"I want all three of you off this deck, in your quarters in the next 5 minutes," he began low and growling, "or so help me God I will throw you overboard myself!" As he carried on his voice grew in both anger and volume. But the three of you, foolishly perhaps, did not heed his warning.

"Oh, come on now Seonghwa. Don't be such a hard ass" San remarked giggly. Seonghwas gaze snapped to the man and opened his mouth to speak but Wooyoung interjected.

"We were just showing your lovely wife a good time," he spoke with a lopsided smirk, hand coming down to your thigh. And the Frist Mate followed the action with dangerous eyes.

You stood from your spot on wobbly feet, taking a step closer to your husband, and took the front lapels of his long sea-worn jacket into your hands and practically hung on the man.

"Come now, Seonghwa. Won't you find it in your heart to be lenient with your darling little wife," you pleaded jokingly, batting your eyelashes. Seonghwa was not amused.

He took your wrist into his hand and with a strong grip, he pulled you away from him so quick you almost toppled to the floor, but not before he yanked your arm back with equal strength, leaning down to be right in your face as he spat.

"I do not see the darling wife you speak of, all I can see is a drunk ship wench without the mind to Do. As. Shes. Told. Now go back to our room and hope with all your might you sober up before I get there."

As his speech concluded he pushed you away again, this time in the direction of the stairs that led below deck. You were practically in shock as you bowed your head and stumbled to wooden stairs, the distant yells of your husband now directed at the other two men. taking the stairs down to the first floor where there were 7 small rooms for the officers aboard, including you and your husband's room at the end of the short hall.

Now perhaps you were drunker than you realized because the gentle swaying of the ship with the waves had you practically falling over with every step and by the time you reached your room you had all but collapsed onto the bed, drifting in and out of consciousness with the tides.

Perhaps, Seonghwas words had been empty threats as when you finally awoke (unfortunately sober) you could see the dusk sky shining through the small window at the back of the tiny room. Your head pounded when you sat up, but the uncomfortableness of your day clothes was undeniable.

You slipped out of the hard leather of your coat and boots and pulled the linen shirt over your head. After removing your ragged pants from your body you moved to pull your soft nightgown over your head but stopped when the door open. Ready to scream at the person who disturbed you in private you only stoped when your eyes landed on your cross-looking husband. You scoffed at the man in the door and turned your back to him.

"Oh no darling, you can't run away from me this time," he said rounding the bed to stand behind you, "your actions today were absolutely inexcusable, no matter what marriage you benefit from" he growled at you.

You scoffed again and whipped around to face him, still completely bare.

"Darling? Who on earth could you be talking to, certainly not me. As I recall I was nothing more than a ship wench." You spat his own words back at him.

"Don't try to be smart," he snapped at you, taking another step closer, " Today you behaved like nothing more than an attention-hungry whore, and if you expect me to set that aside simply as your husband you are far from wrong darling," his voice spoke dangerously even.

"Perhaps I have a right to be starved for attention! As you seem certainly more than willing to leave me alone for days on end," you returned with equal venom. This seemed to shock Seonghwa, though his anger did not lessen he remained quiet.

"What kind of husband leaves their wife for days on end without so much as a touch! Perhaps I should go find Wooyoung? As I know he would be more than willing to give me the kind of attention you have been denying me,"

As soon as the words left your mouth you knew they had been a mistake, you opened your lips to take them back but Seonghwas hand caught your throat in an instant, catching your breath.

"You want me to act like a husband? Perhaps I should treat you as a husband should treat their wife when they say such things," he glowered, eyes sharpening with rage.

He released his grip on your neck only to push you back onto your creaking bed. As you caught your breath Seonghwa tossed his own coat away from him and loosened the ties of string keeping the top of his shirt together, but not removing it completely. He climbed onto your exposed body, keeping you trapped beneath his weight. He ran one lean hand from your neck down to your breast and groped it with rough hands. You moaned in pleasure, finally, your body practically screamed. He scoffed at you.

"You want to be treated like a wife yet you sound like such a whore, crying out for me at the slightest touch, perhaps I should teach you how to appreciate what you are given."

He moved away from your body before wrenching your legs apart. You blushed madly at how his words and touch had affected you, your cunt was already sopping wet at the idea of your husband finally putting it to use.

"Tsk, so desperate. Have a taught you nothing?" he grumbled to himself.

"Sorry, sir" you whined. He meets your eyes for just an instant, showing him that you had not forgotten all of your manners with him. He wasted not another moment before pulling your hips twords his head and licking up your dripping folds. A strangled cry left your lips.

Just as he set to work, licking and sucking all of the places on you that he knew to be useful. His hand returned to your breast, kneading the flesh between his long fingers with a rough grip.

You were at his mercy. Your body was his to toy with and he knew how to play you well. His tongue dove into your slit, further than should be possible, using the muscle to open the neglected hole and taste the essence now running down his chin. He lapped away at your cunt, taking all he wanted from you while you lay there limp and twitching with the occasional cry of ecstasy.

His fingers pinched the hard bud of your nipple and pulled on it, bringing a cry from your lips. Normally cries like these were reprimanded, but you had a feeling your husband wanted the whole ship to know exactly what he was doing to his wife.

You were coming closer and closer to the orgasm you so desperately needed. Your body was reacting to every touch with increased sensitivity as it hadn't been used in so long, and Seonghwa was oh so skilled at pulling these feelings out of you, the fire burning in your belly was twisting and reveling, begging to be realized.

You cried out again, feeling you're about to get that sweet sweet release you so craved.

When it all stopped.

You cried out again but this time in strangled desperation and confusion. You locked eyes with your husband and plead you were wrong about what is happening.

Seonghwa simply pulled away, unbothered, he stood from the bed and you felt your heart shatter as he moved across the floor. He picked up a rag and wiped his face clean before turning back to your still panting figure.

"Remember, when you married me you gave your sweet, soft body to me. And now any pleasure it receives is mine to control. I want you to think about what you just experienced and learn to appreciate all that I give you. Now, I am going to return to my duties, and when I come back if I believe you have earned it I will treat you like my wife, and not some common whore."

And without another word, he left.

-

You laid their flabbergasted and unmoving for what felt like hours. As the sunset behind the horizon, you pulled your body up into a sitting position with your legs cradled to your chest. You don't dare act on the burning emptiness in your core, as you truly felt you had learned your lesson.

The minutes ticked on. Occasionally you heard the sound of feet coming down the ladder from down the hall and your stomach lept, but every time they continued down to the lower deck for the crew. Your mind wandered to your wedding day.

It had only been 4 years since that day. It was before you had joined the crew, but Seonghwa who you had known since your childhood had already been called to the sea by his friend and now captain. He had asked you to marry him the day before he left on his first voyage and you waited for him without a second thought. Once he returned months later he had already been made First Mate and you only had a week before he would be out at sea again. On the day of your wedding, you were scolded by your parents for allowing a lawless pirate to take you, but your father gave you away regardless. By the end of the night, you were already miles out to sea with your new husband and he showed you for the first time how well a wife could be treated.

Needless to say, you rediscovered your appreciation for the man.

So when the door finally opened once again, you only gazed at Seonghwa with stars in your eyes. He approached your side of the bed and took your chin into his hand, aiming your face up at his.

"Have you learned your lesson?" He asked. You nodded.

"Yes, sir," you spoke with a creaky voice. He cracked the smallest hint of a satisfied smile.

"Why don't you lean back, my darling"

And so you did. You fell back onto the blankets and watched as your husband finally pulled his shirt over his head and rid himself of his distressed pants. He climbed over you and took your head in his hand again and muttered,

"Now remind me, sweet girl, who's are you," he asked in a firm guiding voice.

"All yours, sir,"

"Wonderful, should I take what's mine then?" He asked in that same tone.

"Please sir," you replied.

Seonghwa leaned down to connect your lips in one sweet kiss that lasted only a moment before pulling away his demeanor changed. Hands ran down your sides pulling your legs to wrap around his thin waist.

"My darling wife, waiting so patiently for me," he mused. The tip of his cock teased your wet entrance, only pushing in the slightest bit but you clenched instinctively regardless.

"Maybe it has been too long," he chuckled darkly in your ear, "I almost forgot how eagerly you wish to be filled," he chided taking the lobe of your ear between his teeth. Your breath hitched, scared to make /the wrong move that would bring this all crashing to a halt.

In one fluid motion, Seonghwa pushed the rest of his length into you to the hilt. You whined desperately at the slightly painful stretch and screwed your eyes shut as the pain morphed into the sweetest pleasure.

"Ready, my darling?" He mumbled into your ear, a slight smirk in his voice.

"Please,"

And so he began. Pulling all the way out before slamming back in with the same force and speed. You cried out again.

Every time his hips met yours for that brief moment you relished in the feeling of being completely filled up by him. His length was long and he used it well. He knew your body well enough to know exactly how to angle your hips to be hitting your more sensitive places inside you every single time he thrust.

You clung desperately to his broad shoulders, allowing your body to become plaint again and for lewd sound to tumble past your lips into his ears. Each sound seemed to give him newfound strength, picking up speed and force every time.

"Oh, my sweet wife, letting me have my way with her," he mumbled, gripping your hip for leverage, the other hand gently caressing your body. "So desperate to be filled," he chuckled. You whined in agreement, pulling yourself tighter to his body as your sensitive walls clung and stretched around him.

"I could fill you up even more darling, would you like that?" He asked, panting slightly at the exertion.

You nodded blindly.

"I could fill you up with my cum, fill you up with my child," he groaned at the thought, "oh you would love that wouldn't you darling, letting me put a child in you," you clenched around his cock once again as he punctuated his words with one, particularly hard thrust into your special spot.

"Yes, sir" you replied breathlessly "please, fill me up with your child," it came out as nothing but a whisper, "want- want your baby,"

"I know you do darling, don't worry," he groaned. You were clenching around him madly and your orgasm was fast approaching. His grip on your hip and turned to iron and your body was convulsing.

"What kind of husband would I be if I didn't give my wife a baby,"

At those words, your body began to convulse. You finally felt that sweet really you had been denied for so long. Your eyes rolled back and your cunt was clenching frantically as the waves of pleasure came over you so strong you lost control of your limbs, crying out weakly Seonghwas name. Seonghwa kept his steady pace all the while until he himself was thrown over the edge.

You recognize the feeling of thick ropes of cum pouring into you. Seonghwas own cries had increased in volume as he emptied inside you. It took several seconds, but when he had finally milked the last of his orgasms from your body he pulled away.

You lay spent but completely content on the bed before him with what could only be described as a dopey smile. He always looked so beautiful when he came and even coming down yourself you had to admire the gorgeous man you married. He cracked his own smile at your face and leaned to give you a lingering kiss. And your eyes dropped closed.

"Go to sleep, darling, ill take care of you in the morning."

Hi love, I saw that your requests are open and I want to request something for Juliet if that’s okay! Could it be her first impressions of the boys or vice versa? You can decide on the format and stuff 😊 thank you so much!

a/n: hi anon!! thank you for the request and i’m so sorry for the long wait 🥺💕 i decided to do both ie. both the boys’ first impressions and hers for them, i hope that’s okay!!

juliet’s masterlist

#HONGJOONG;

his first impression

“oh, hi i’m hongjoong how old are y—WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE BORN IN 2001 YOU’RE STILL A BABY?????” okay he didn’t actually say that but that’s what he thought (later he was even more shocked to learn that she was already a trainee for two years prior)

he didn’t know that she had already trained under another company prior to joining KQ, so when he first saw her sing/dance he was very shocked by how good she already was

her first impression

ngl she was terrified of him ahjdgwjshjakd 💀 ofc she quickly realised that joong is a sweetheart but the first time meeting him she was so intimidated agjshwhsh he just...looked scary

when he told her he already had a few mixtapes she was like :OOOOO CAN I LISTEN TO THEM PLEASE and after he let her (bc he has a soft spot for her uwu) she just sat there in disbelief bc how can someone be so talented????????????

#SEONGHWA;

his first impression

who is this tiny child and what are they doing here???? and you were a trainee at another company since you were 13?????? child??????????? he really saw her and immediately went (⊃ `Д´)⊃ must protecc!! and adopted her

then he saw her dance for the first time and was like???? what happened to my sweet summer child??????????

her first impression

not as intimidated by him as she was by joong but was still a little ;-; (a/n: have you seen seonghwa’s predebut photos????? predebut he was all 💀🔥💣⛓ and now he’s all 🥺🥰✨💕🌸 i’m gonna sob)

she thought he was really cool qgjdhwhjwbdjwb and may or may not have had a tiny crush on him predebut; but after they spent more time together and he became more of an older brother figure (and would nag her about doing her homework and going to school hjqhehaj) she was like “🙄🙄 oKAY M O M”

#YUNHO;

his first impression

he saw her hanging around awkwardly in the practice room bc it was her first official day as a trainee and she was pretty nervous about being a trainee again; he knew how nerve-wracking it was to be in a completely new environment so he did his best to make her feel more comfy yunho best boy :(

they didn’t really have that awkward i-just-met-you phase bc he started chatting with her immediately to soothe her nerves and to update her on how things worked at KQ (´ ω `♡)

her first impression

she’d be more nervous around him due to his height if he wasn’t so sunshiney the moment they met and he was the first trainee who approached her at KQ 🥺🥺 her first day at the company the staff led her to a practice room but left soon after and she was like???? someone help?????? o(TヘTo)

then yunho came in and was like “hi!!!!!!! you must be new!!!!! i could show you around later if you want!!!!!! :D” for a while after that she’d just follow him around everywhere like a puppy it was very cute

#YEOSANG;

his first impression

ngl his first impression of juliet was just that she was very quiet and seemed to be really good at dancing 😭😭😭 it took the longest for them to become as close as they are now bc they were both so shy (isfj buddies 😔😔) but ofc they are now v v close!!!! 😼

her first impression

she thought he didn’t like her 🥲🥲🥲🥲 listen, she was shy, he was shy, and they sometimes look intimidating to people they’re not close with 😭

when she first spoke to yeosang, she thought he hated her from how he barely responded when it was just bc he was shy :(((( but once they got past that phase they realised it was all just one big misunderstanding!! 🥺

#SAN;

his first impression

he looked up to her so much 🥺🥺🥺🥺 he didn’t have a background in dance so when he saw juliet training he was so in awe like “????? why haven’t you debuted yet????????” :((((

san still talks about it sometimes when he has v-lives with juliet and she gets so emotional when he brings it up bc he’s come such a long way and she’s just so proud of him!!!!

her first impression

san joined kq after her so this time it was her turn to help out a new trainee!!! he was so tiny back then uwu and despite how awkward she felt on the inside she went up to him like “hi!!! if you want a friend my name’s juliet :3” she honestly thought he was adorable and had a really nice voice :((((

#MINGI;

his first impression

slightly confused at first bc yunho seemed really friendly with her, yet he has never seen her before and yunho never mentioned having a friend; then he found out it was her first day and was immediately like ohhh!!!!! sup i’m mingi!!!!!!!!

also was like uwu smol child must protecc :3 he noticed that she was still pretty uneasy about the new environment when they were getting food together so he did his best to make her laugh (and succeeded!!🥺)

her first impression

???????? you’re also so tall?????????? does yunho only have tall friends????? he arrived just in time for practice so yunho didn’t get a chance to introduce them to each other until he invited her to grab a snack with him and mingi on her first day

she was pretty intimidated bc he had a really deep voice and was v tall hajdhwjdh but then he started cracking jokes and made her feel v comfy and not out of place at all!! mingi bestest boy!!!!

#WOOYOUNG;

his first impression

must. introduce. myself. must. be. friends 🥺🥺 honestly he was just excited to get to know everyone :ccc

before they became close he was kinda jealous when he saw her with the others bc she seemed to be good friends with everyone but him :((( she was still really nice to him!! but it was in a “i-don’t-really-know-you” kind of way. in reality it was bc she didn’t know how to talk to him bc their personalities were so different :(

her first impression

“HI I’M WOOYOUNG THEY TOLD ME YOUR NAME IS JULIET HIIIII” 😭😭😭😭😭😭 it threw her off a little bc she wasn’t expecting that introduction; she’s an introvert so being greeted by so much energy all at once was a bit shocking

also was slightly startled by how loud and talkative he was but as they spent more time together she just started...getting louder too 💀💀💀💀 became besties soon after and he helped her out of her shell more!! he was also the one who helped her break the ice with yeosang!!!! :3

#JONGHO;

his first impression

he was pretty shy especially since she was the one who approached him, but was glad to make a friend so quickly!! by the end of the day they shared so many stories with each other and got comfortable with each other; saw her as a little sister after that!!!

her first impression

finally!!!!!! someone born after 2000!!!!!!!!! let’s ditch these hags bestie :3 (hajdhwjd kidding😭😭) he was the trainee closest to her age so she befriended him the day he came to the company like she did with san; invited him to have lunch with her and the others and he gave her gum after the meal :3

she heard him sing and was immediately like “okay vocals!!!!!!! the company would be a fool not to debut u ur just too good ⭐️👄⭐️”

✩ masterlist

✩ requests : check bio or masterlist ♡

You let out a heavy sigh as you threw your phone across the bed in disappointment. You had texted Yeosang nearly two hours ago asking if he wanted to hang out but he hadn’t responded.

He had been doing that a lot recently. Leaving you on read for hours on end only to decline your invites. It was Saturday, his day off but maybe he went to work after all? Or maybe he was just out with his friends? You always gave him the benefit of the doubt but the more he neglected you, the more it was starting to hurt. 

Yeosang was a popular guy after all, his visuals were incomparable and you were never able to believe he was yours in the first place. You don’t know what happened over the course of the four months you two had been together but he treated you nothing like he had when you two met.

The more you thought about it, the more you realized it was you who had made all the first moves in the relationship. You were the one to ask him out, to ask him for his phone number, to ask to be more than friends. He had agreed casually every time, never giving any of it much thought. 

Could it have been one-sided this entire time? And if it was, why was he stringing you along?

The sound of your phone pinging had you rustling to grab it a lot more desperately than you’d like to admit. You prayed it was Yeosang as you unlocked your phone but of course, it wasn’t him.

Instead, it was your mutual friend Seonghwa, inviting you to go to the arcade with him and some of your other friends. You were nervous to show up without Yeosang as Seonghwa was the one that introduced the two of you in the first place.

You stared at his message, your thumbs circling nervously as you raked your brain for a reply. Just as you were about to decline, another message came through, this time it was Yeosang.

Sangie ♡ : going to the arcade with hwa and the guys, wanna come?

Your heart skipped a beat at the notification. Mentally face palming yourself for being so affected by a bare minimum message, but your heart didn’t care. Already having forgotten all the doubts that had been filling your head just moments before.

You: Sure! I can’t wait to see you :)

Sangie ♡ : :)

Your chest felt a bit heavy at the wordless reply but you hoped he’d be a bit more excited once you saw him in person. You replied to Seonghwa’s message quickly before getting up to get ready.

----------------

You stood outside the arcade building alone, your eyes switching from your phone screen to the people on the sidewalk as you waited for the boys to arrive. You had only been waiting about 10 minutes when your eyes caught Yunho’s smiling ones in the busy crowd, a trail of boys following behind him. You waved at him, scanning the others, unable to see Yeosang just yet.

Your other friend, San, ran in front of the others to hug you. “Y/n, I missed you! How are you?” He asked, you giggled at his excitement. You had missed him too, and all the boys. However, since Yeosang never responded to your messages, you weren’t able to visit their shared apartment as often as you wanted to.

“I missed you too, San! And I’m doing fine.” Returning his smile as he released you from the hug. When you turned around, your eyes found Yeosang who was already looking at you.

“Hey, babe.” He gave you a small smirk before pulling you into a one armed hug, his other hand not bothering to leave his pant pocket.

“H-hey, baby.” You stuttered at his halfhearted actions, feeling him place the quickest peck on your head before ushering you inside to follow the others.

The whole evening was disheartening to say the least, well, at least the moments when you were near Yeosang.

The way he was hardly paying any attention to you made you feel pathetic, almost like you were just following him around like a lost puppy. After about an hour of it you were visibly sad, debating on going off with the others or just leaving altogether.

Mingi noticed your sulking face that you were trying your hardest to hide as you stood by Yeosang who was paying you no mind. Focusing on cheering on Jongho and Yunho at a punching bag game. He came over and pulled you away to play a few games of air hockey with him. Yeosang not even batting an eyelash at you as you left his side. After that, you and Mingi joined Wooyoung and San at a claw machine where San proudly won you a stuffed puppy.

The attention they were giving you had you feeling better already. That was, until you noticed Seonghwa and Hongjoong off on their own, eyeing the food court suspiciously. Seonghwa’s eyes caught yours, a look of sadness flashing across them before breaking eye contact with you quickly.

Your eyes followed Hongjoong’s to see Yeosang in front of the food court. A smile on his face as he talked to some girl, his hand coming up to brush against her arm and play with her hair, the sight nearly making you burst into tears.

You rushed out before any tears could fall, passing Hongjoong and Seonghwa on your way, the taller boy following behind you.

“Y/n? Y/n...I’m so sorry.” Seonghwa held you by your shoulders, attempting to calm you down as you started sobbing not wanting to look him in the eyes. “I never expected him to treat you like this.”

“It’s okay, Hwa its not your fault.” You were so sad and upset you just wanted to disappear.

Before he could reply, Hongjoong’s shouting caught your attention. You both turned to see him dragging Yeosang out by the arm of his leather jacket, practically throwing him towards you and Seonghwa. The black haired boy moved out of the way to join Hongjoong by the doorway.

Yeosang fixed his jacket then stood in front of you, his hands in his pockets, not saying a word.

“Did you ever even like me?” You asked bluntly after a few minutes of pure silence, staring right at his face. Your sadness having turned to anger. Anger at him for playing with your feelings and anger at yourself for putting up with it for so long.

He cleared his throat, looking around, still refusing to make eye contact with you. “I...I did.”

“So what changed?” Your arms crossed in front of you. You took a quick glance behind him, seeing the other boys had joined the older two, a few of them staring at you and Yeosang wondering what was happening. You didn’t let their presence deter you though, you were ready to end things with Yeosang no matter who heard what was going on.

“I don’t know.”

“And you thought it was a better idea to cheat on me than tell me you didn’t want to be with me anymore?” His eyes never left the ground as you spoke. “I always thought you were too good for me but now I know you’re not. You’re just an asshole and a flirt.”

“I..I know you won’t believe me but...I’m sorry.”

“You’re right I don’t believe you.” A tear fell from your eye against your will, hating that it ever came to this. “It’s over Yeosang. Go finish what you started with that other girl, maybe she can put up with your playboy shit because I’m not. I’m done.”

You turned away from him, too hurt to say bye to the others, hoping they’d understand. After a few seconds, you heard footsteps running up behind you, expecting it to be Yeosang, you started to yell. “Look, Yeosang! I-”

“Hey, hey, it’s just me.” You blinked a few times at the sound of San’s voice next to you. His arm draping over your shoulder pulling you into a side hug.

“And me...” Seonghwa followed on your right, walking quickly to catch up to you both. “We’re gonna walk you home if you don’t mind...”

You sniffled, as you wiped your tears away, not wanting them to watch you cry. “Of course not, thank you both.” The boys tried the best they could to make conversation to distract you and you really appreciated the effort. San grabbing the stuffed dog from your hands, making tiny barking noises with it to make you smile.

When you arrived at your apartment, Seonghwa asked San to give you two a minute to talk. The smaller boy nodded without question, walking a few feet away to give you privacy.

“I’m sorry again for this...I don’t know what’s going on with him but I don’t expect you to forgive him.”

You smiled at Seonghwa’s attempt to  make you feel better but you never blamed him. “I understand but I really don’t blame you at all. He seemed so different in the beginning...but...I guess I knew it wouldn’t last.” You looked at the ground between you two, kicking at nothing not really knowing what else to say at that moment.

The sound of San nearly tripping over a rock that he was messing with caught your attention, you watched him for a second, a small smile growing on your face. Seonghwa watched you as you looked at San, knowing all to well how the younger boy felt about you.

“You know...I think San has a crush on you.” He smirked at you playfully but you stared back at him with a look full of warning.

“I don’t know Hwa, I’m just now getting over the last boy you tried to pair me up with.”

“Yeah but...San is different, he’s a sweet guy and I know he’d treat you right.” You both turned your gaze at the boy kicking rocks a few feet away. San looked up, meeting your eyes with a small smile before turning back around, not wanting to interrupt. “Well anyways, I’ll let you get to sleep, I know you had a long day.” He opened his arms for a hug, patting your back reassuringly when you accepted. “If you need to cry to someone or just want to talk please call me.”

“I will.” You promised as you released from his grasp. Seonghwa called out to San, gesturing his head at you to come say his farewells.

San gave you a soft smile as he pulled you into a hug, his head resting on your shoulder a few moments before pulling away. “I hope you feel better soon. Also...I know it’s not my place to say...maybe it’s too soon but...I always thought you were too good for him. You’re such a sweet person I hope you never forget that.” You were shocked speechless by his words. The shy smile on his face as he looked down had your heart fluttering in a way you hadn’t felt in months. “I’ll see you later y/n. If you need anything, I’ll always be here for you. I promise.” He patted your shoulder before joining Seonghwa in the parking lot.

Your mind ran wild with thoughts as you moved about your apartment getting yourself ready for bed. You were upset over everything Yeosang had put you through but for whatever reason, the memories of how San had treated you all night nearly made all your bad feelings go away.

You held the stuffed puppy to your chest as you scrolled through your phone. At the same time trying not to think about Seonghwa’s words from earlier. But then again, maybe he’d be right this time.

Spellbound

Member: Yunho Part 2 of 3 - Part 1 here Genre: Fluff, angst A/N: Like I’ve been saying, this is a long one! And NGL, I actually cried writing the end of this because this is where things get angsty. Expect a lot of tears. 

Part 2

Over the course of a few weeks, the two of them really hit it off as they spent more and more time together. She opted to always close the store ever since they met, and Yunho would wait for her to finish so they could go home together, and sometimes she would wait for him if he took a few extra minutes in his practicing. She was certain she had never met anyone like him before. He was unusually friendly, he was a good dancer, he was even insanely good at games at the nearby arcade. 

Tonight was no different, and as she had somehow expected, he was already standing outside the store, waving at her with a big smile on his face. She waved back. “Oh? The boyfriend’s here?” One of her colleagues suddenly asked upon noticing Yunho. 

“No, no, we’re just friends,” She said. 

“Are you sure? You were grinning like an idiot earlier whenever you brought him up over lunch today. Are you sure you two are just friends?” Her colleague egged her on. 

She rolled her eyes. “It is possible to just be friends with a guy, you know.” 

“But not a guy like that! Look at him, if I know you well enough, and I think I kind of do, I think he’s exactly your type” Her colleague said. 

She stared at them. “Exactly my type?” She asked. 

“Yeah! But you know, he’s everyone’s type. Tall, cute, can dance, funny, good at games, everything you keep going on and on and on to us about ever since you met him weeks ago” They recalled, partly teasing. 

“Well, maybe he is, but I don’t have time for that kind of thing. I’ve been avoiding it like the plague” She tried to point out. 

“Mhmm, yeah sure,” Her colleague said, side-eyeing her. “Sure you don’t have a stupid grin on your face whenever you see him, or jump at your phone the moment he texts you, or giggle like a schoolgirl whenever he calls and didn’t you say you got anxious whenever someone calls you up?! That’s why we use that as a last resort with you, not that we’ve had to use it before” Her colleague added. 

“What are you still doing here? Your boyfriend’s waiting outside” The manager suddenly said upon entering and noticing Yunho. 

“My boy-” She stared at them then looked away, trying to hide the blush in her cheeks. “He’s not my boyfriend” She managed to speak. 

“Yeah sure, and I’m mother goose. He’s waiting, get out of here and I’ll see you tomorrow” The manager teased, gesturing for her to leave. 

Before she could speak any further, her colleague and the manager shoved her bag and jacket into her hand. She sighed. He is not my boyfriend, she thought. Even if she’s been like that ever since she met him, they’re just friends as far as she knew. 

No, I mean, so what if he’s funny, and cute, and tall, and talented, and insanely lucky at arcade games, and games in general, she thought as she made her way out of the store. That doesn’t mean I like him in that way. 

“Sorry, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting,” She said upon seeing him. 

“No, it’s okay!” Yunho said cheerily. “I did keep you waiting one time, now we’re even!” He added as they turned to the direction of their houses. “So, convenience store first then home?” He asked, glancing at her and still with a skip in his step as she noticed. It never seemed to disappear. 

“Sure, but I won’t eat much. I had a big sandwich earlier” She chuckled. “How was practice?” 

“Pretty good, we learned the next few parts of our routine for the competition, do you want me to show you?” He grinned. 

“Nah, you’re tired, and I’d probably see you on tv anyway” She teased, nudging him as they walked. “And, it’s my turn to pay since you paid for our food last night” She added. 

They approached the nearest convenience store, and she noticed Yunho skid to a halt when they saw a few other guys who were dressed like him. “Oh! Our golden retriever!” Said one of them, whose name she learned was Jung Wooyoung, upon seeing him. 

Yunho greeted them with just as much enthusiasm that it made her wonder if he ever got tired of being this cheerful all the time. He probably did, but even if he was, he probably didn’t look it, she thought. She observed the way he was with his friends. Even his friends seemed to match his energy so well. “Oh, is this the girl you’ve been going on and on and on to us about for the past few weeks?” Said another guy, whose name was Song Mingi, who noticed her. That prompted Yunho to introduce her to them. 

“You know, he’s never stopped talking about you ever since you two met that night” Wooyoung was grinning, almost a little evilly as if to tease his friend. 

“Are you two on a date? It’s kind of late, isn’t it?” said Kim Hongjoong, who was the leader of their dance crew. He too was grinning evilly. 

The question made her look away, getting flustered as she remembered what her colleagues and her own boss were telling her. It seemed like they were also teasing him. Was that what they looked like to people? Did they look like a couple to everyone they knew?

She heard snickering coming from the rest of his friends, who were pointing out how red his ears had gotten from the questions. “We just live in the same area so we just decided to walk home together,” She managed to say, but it was only met with more teasing thrown their way. 

Yunho was looking down, trying to laugh off how embarrassed and flustered he was getting especially as his ears were getting redder the more he evaded the questions. “No, really, she lives in the building meters away from where I live!” He said. 

“Ah, so you’re both dating?” Wooyoung looked incredibly satisfied with how flustered the two of them were. 

“No! No! We’re not dating!” The two of them replied at the same time. It only made the guys howl with laughter. 

“Well, if she’s not dating you, can I ask her out, then?” Hongjoong grinned. 

“No, you can’t. I respect you and adore you hyung, but you can’t go out with her” Yunho immediately replied, shaking his head. Even with a response like that, she noticed that he still had a smile on his face. 

She was too stunned to speak, but she knew it would be awkward if she just stood in her place. She turned and looked around for the ramen packets, suddenly feeling the hunger pangs come over her. But even when she was looking for what she wanted, she couldn’t help but overhear them. “Why not? She’s my type!” Said Hongjoong. 

“You can’t, because then I wouldn’t have anyone to go home with” Yunho reasoned with a nervous chuckle. “And you already get so many girls anyway” He added. 

She smiled to herself, amused at what she was hearing from them. “If Hongjoong hyung can’t, can I?” Wooyoung piped up. 

“No, no, especially not you” Yunho sounded a little firm in his response this time, making the other laugh out loud. 

“Why?! Why not me?!” Wooyoung asked. 

“Because you also already get so many girls! Whenever we all go on a night out, by the time we all decide to go home, you’ve got so many numbers saved on your phone” He pointed out. 

His friends only laughed and patted his shoulder. Somehow, even though she wasn’t looking, she could sense he was pouting like a puppy. She found it adorable how they called him a golden retriever. It made her realize that he really was as cheerful and as happy as one. 

She snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Yunho pop out from behind the shelf in front of her. “Hey, I’ll have whatever you’re having. What do you want to drink?” He asked. 

“Just water” She replied. “They really call you a golden retriever?” She chuckled. 

“Ah, yeah, they do. But I don’t mind, those dogs are very friendly” He said. 

“Do you own one?” 

Yunho shook his head. “No, my building doesn’t allow dogs, so I can’t own one. But I do go to dog cafes sometimes” He revealed. It somehow gave him an idea. “Hey! It’s the weekend tomorrow, want to hang out at the dog cafe? Or! Do you want to come over to my house? Pizza and Netflix, what do you say?” He was beaming. 

“Sure, maybe after work, I get a half-day tomorrow” She smiled. 

“In that case, I’ll pick you up and we can walk to my house” He suggested, holding up his pinky. “That’s a promise.” 

She raised a brow at him and linked his pinky with hers. “Promise. Next time, just go inside the store if you’re going to wait for me, I don’t want you getting uncomfortable outside, okay?” 

“Okay, that’s another deal” He nodded. 

~ 

Little did she know, Yunho was often teased about her ever since they met. Although he was focused when he needed to be, he found himself staring at his phone during short breaks in the hopes that she would message him. Hongjoong pointed out how he was often looking out the window to the second floor of the bookstore where she worked, and how he would jump at his phone when her name came up among his messages. Wooyoung and Mingi also pointed out how he would smile like an idiot whenever he’d read her messages.  

He found himself thinking about her a lot more than usual, and whenever he did, his heart would beat so fast that he wasn’t sure if he was getting anxious or not. 

He couldn’t say it, but he hated the thought of any one of his colleagues would take an interest in her, especially Wooyoung. It wasn’t that he didn’t get his share of attention whenever they went out, but it was mostly because Wooyoung was someone everyone naturally gravitated to, especially the girls, who were always so impressed by his dancing, and who were always screaming if he did anything sexy. 

It was the first time he was this possessive over someone, and the realization scared him a bit. Still, his heart seemed to pound louder whenever she was near, and whenever they went home together that he didn’t want it to end. He wanted to see her all the time. 

“Oh” They muttered to themselves that night in their respective rooms in their respective homes, as they were staring at the photos they took of each other over the past few weeks. 

“I...care about him” She muttered, looking away from one particular selca they took. It was raining, and they were sharing one small umbrella that they suddenly thought to take a photo to remember the day they did just that. He had that big smile on his face as the two of them tried to squeeze themselves under it. They ended up walking home with their sides soaking wet from the downpour. 

Yunho was too stunned to say anything, to voice out the realization he had. And to think, they were going to hang out again tomorrow, and he was going to pick her up. This was what it felt like, he thought to himself. 

~ 

Both of them never heard the end of it from their parents the next morning, about how they were often together. The realization was still on both their minds as they got ready for the day. Yunho wanted to make their first ever hangout at his house perfect. Like a date? He first thought, but shook his head later. This isn’t a date, it’s a hangout between friends, he muttered to himself. 

But he couldn’t help but smile, anticipating what they were going to do. Of course he cared about her, he just wasn’t sure how much he cared until now. 

It was all she could focus on as well, as she mindlessly took charge of the cash register, swiping the cards that were handed out and sometimes directed people to the correct aisle where their books and comics were. It was almost like she started to daydream about what was going to happen in the next hour. 

Yunho would be coming inside, greeting everyone with a smile on his face. He’d ask her to take his hand, and it would be the first time they held hands or showed some physical affection towards each other. 

“Hey, you ready to go?” 

“Hmm? Hmm!” She snapped out of her thoughts when right in front of her was Yunho, laughing at probably her face while she was spaced out in her thoughts. She could feel her cheeks heat up as she caught his gaze and quickly looked away, knowing that her colleagues and her manager were more than likely watching them. 

“You’re so lucky” One of her colleagues muttered to her while they moved away. 

She was still in a sort of daze to speak, but nodded anyway as she rushed into the back room to get her things and leave. By the time she was out, he was leaning over the counter. She could feel the butterflies in her stomach, and she hoped that she wasn’t blushing, but she knew that her cheeks were already very pink.”Why don’t you take the day off on Monday? You can go back to work on Tuesday” The manager suddenly suggested. 

“Day off?” She was confused. 

“Yeah, you’ve never gone on a break before, why don’t you take one? You’ve worked here for years” The manager added. 

“A-are you sure?” She asked. 

“Yeah. You’ll thank me for giving you one, you know” The manager said. “Go home with your boyfriend” They added. 

“We’re not-” The two of them immediately replied, and laughed when they exchanged looks. 

“Mhmm, sure, go on, get out of here” The manager said to her with a satisfied grin on their face. 

Yunho guided her to the door, feeling how hot his cheeks had gotten from the sudden remark made towards them. “Sorry, you’ll have to excuse them, they’ve just never seen me with a guy before” She said, partly joking. 

“Really? They haven’t?” He said with a laugh. 

“Of course they have, but it was the delivery guys since I let them in with the shipments and all. I do the inventories a lot when they arrive” She said, glancing up at him while they walked in the familiar direction of their buildings. 

His mind was racing with things he wanted to do at this moment. Did he want to confess before they arrived at his house? Or would he wait it out until after the first movie they’d watch on Netflix was finished? Did he want to just say it at all? Or did he want to show it to her instead? He decided to confide in Mingi about his realization before picking her up. He was terrified and anxious and excited all at once. Mingi just told him to be confident and be how he’s usually been to her. Hongjoong offered the same advice. “I realized you haven’t seen the building where I live” He suddenly said. 

“Yeah, I haven’t. You said before that it had a name” She recalled that conversation they had during one of their walks. 

“Sirius Tower. Sounds Western isn’t it? A lady said to us that Sirius is a name for a star” He said. “The more you know~” He sing-songed, making her laugh. 

“Not many buildings seem to be named after stars. I wonder why they decided to name your building after one” She pondered. 

He beamed. “Well, there is another reason why it’s named a star, and you’ll see once we get there” He said, leading the way into his building. They passed through the front entrance, and she saw why he said it. There was a large painting of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” on the wall, set against walls of a dark blue, almost black. The lights on the ceiling almost mimicked the look of stars against the ceiling that was also a dark blue-almost black in color. 

She felt her heart flutter, and it was also when she realized they were already holding hands. She didn’t dare to let go, at least until he realized it too. “It...it must be nice to live here” She said, in awe of the place. 

“This is not even the half of it, but if you’ll stay for dinner, I know my parents would be around, and my brother, but if you can stay,” He said, looking into her eyes. “I’ll show you what else makes this building star-like.” 

Somehow she felt like she’d be doing him wrong if she rejected it. “...Sure” She said softly. 

His lips curved into a wide smile again, and he led her inside the elevators. 

~ 

“Welcome to my crib” Yunho chuckled as he opened the door. They took their shoes off and she waited for him to lead the way. “My parents and my brother went to the bowling alley today” He said, gesturing for her to come in. 

“Without you? That must’ve been fun” She raised a brow. 

He shook his head. “I’ve been that bowling alley hundreds of times, I think I can skip this one. They’re meeting with some of my cousins anyway” He replied. He didn’t want to mention how he had to ask them to stay out of the house because he was inviting her over, an explanation that earned him teasing remarks from his own family, especially his parents. 

Aww Yunho is in love, they said to him. 

She must be a very special girl, his father said. 

He’s never stopped talking about her, he becomes the heart-eyes emoji whenever he calls her up, His brother would point out again and again. 

They passed by a large family photo and she smiled when she saw him sitting on the side and dressed in a tuxedo. He looked so handsome, she thought. A little too handsome that she found herself visualizing him perhaps waiting for her at the end of the aisle. She blinked to snap out of it. She was getting too far ahead. “This was recent, wasn’t it?” She grinned, glancing at him. 

He nodded. “Yeah, wedding anniversary of my parents. Do you have something like this?” He asked. 

She shook her head. “My father died when I was very young, so any family picture we’d have would just be the three of us, me, my mom, and my sister” She said quietly. 

Yunho’s face fell slightly. “Sorry I asked” He said. 

“It’s okay, it’s been a long time anyway” She waved a hand dismissively. “So,” she turned to face him. “Netflix and pizza?” 

“Yeah!” He said. “I’ve set everything up, and the pizza should be here in a few minutes,” She followed him into the living room while he went straight into the kitchen. “I’ve got water and…” He peeked in the refrigerator. “Energy drinks, or juice, or cola. We could open the soju too if you prefer drinking something alcoholic, I don’t mind” He glanced at her.

She had never set foot in Yunho’s house before, and yet, she couldn’t help but feel like she had been here so many times. It had that very familiar feeling to her. “Hmm? Just cola, I have no plans on drinking, especially getting drunk” She teased. 

As soon as he poured some of the soda into glasses, the doorbell rang. “The pizza’s here~” Yunho declared, looking through the security system first to check. “Yes, the pizza’s here” He took his wallet out of his pocket and dashed towards the door. 

She couldn’t shake off the familiar feeling she was having as she looked around, noticing his family photos and stopping at a picture of him when he was a kid. She smiled to herself. It seemed like he had a very happy family despite the usual challenges here and there. It was the only way to explain why he was such a happy person even if he didn’t say much about himself, always preferring to talk about what they were doing or thinking at that moment. She sat herself down on the couch upon seeing Yunho come back with two boxes of pizza. “What flavor did you get?” She asked. 

“What else? The one with everything on it, and, because it’s a special day, these are stuffed crust” He looked pleased with himself as he brought the boxes to the living room, settling it on the space between the two of them along with their drinks. 

“What movie did you have in mind?” She asked. 

“I was going to ask you the same thing” He said sheepishly, laughing as he opened the box. 

“I’d say Serendipity but you might not like that, would you?” She teased. 

“Hey, I can watch anything, as long as we watch something, otherwise we would’ve gone out instead” He teased back.

“You invited me over!” She pointed out with a laugh. 

“I know! So, let’s watch something, shall we?” Yunho chuckled, looking through the titles. 

~ 

“...If we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call “fatum,” what we currently refer to as destiny…” They were more than halfway through the movie. The words seemed to resonate within them, but they were unable to admit it. 

“Do you believe in that kind of thing?” Yunho suddenly asked her. 

She glanced at him. “I don’t know, I guess I do if I’ve been staying away from some things,” She shrugged. “What about you? Do you believe in that?” 

He shrugged as well. “I don’t know either. Maybe because I’ve never experienced something like that.” 

“Not even when you joined your dance crew?” She said. She remembered him telling her about how he ended up becoming part of the dance crew that now frequented the studio next to the store. 

“Maybe that. Would it be that feeling that you’re being led somewhere but you don’t know why? You don’t know how you find yourself there, isn’t it?” He mused, taking a drink of cola in between. 

“I guess that’s exactly it” She nodded. “You’re being led somewhere but you don’t know why, you don’t know how, but when you get there, you find that it’s where you were supposed to be all this time” She muttered, looking back at the movie. 

“Do you think it applies to people too?” He said, and she could sense that he was no longer watching the movie. She felt her heart pound and the butterflies fluttering in her stomach. 

She turned to him, and her expression falling as she noticed the way he was looking at her. He didn’t look at her like his usual puppy-like expression, but rather in a way that seemed to suggest something else. Something...romantic. “I-I don’t know, I’ve never experienced that part.” 

They gazed into each other’s eyes. All the more it was becoming clear. She was falling in love with Yunho, and she felt like she was going to burst the more they stayed like this. 

Yunho looked down at her lips and then back to her eyes. “...I feel like I’m being led to you and I don’t know why, but ever since we met, I felt like I finally reached it” He admitted, ears going red at his sudden admission. He took the plunge and leaned in to kiss her. 

She felt like her heart was going to burst with how she felt about him, and the kiss was the release she needed, and she could feel it was the same for him too. They slowly pulled away, lingering and wondering what they should do next. She looked into his eyes, and her eyes were welling with tears at the realization. 

He was tall. 

He was called a golden retriever and had the personality of one. 

He lived on a building named after a star. 

All the things she remembered wishing for when she cast the spell years ago. Yunho was that guy she wished for. “I-I think I know why you feel that way…” She muttered. 

“You do?” Why then?” He asked. 

“Because...I sent for you. When I was a kid, I made a wish, I cast a spell from my aunt’s books, a true love spell…” She bit her lip upon revealing it to him. “It was you. You’re the one I wished for” She said and looked down. Yunho had a soft smile on his face, but soon fell when she looked back at him. “It also means you’re in danger…” 

“Danger? What are you talking about? I don’t think you’re hard to love if that’s what you mean” He said, brows furrowing. 

“In a way, you could say that. But you see... my family’s cursed. All the women in my family are doomed to die with broken hearts because of the curse my great-great-great-great-great grandmother placed on herself,” She explained, moving away from him bit by bit. “It’s how my father died, how my grandfather died, and all the men before them...if anything happens between us, to you, it’s because of that curse, I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry…” She wiped her eyes and got up, turning to leave. 

Yunho got up to stop her in time. For some reason he found himself saying exactly what he felt. “Hey, wait! Stop!” He said, standing in front of her. “If you think that’s going to change how I feel about you, then you’re wrong. Curses are only real if you believe them to be, please don’t let that get in the way between us” He held her hands, and she saw that he was tearing up as well. 

“But your life will be in danger if you decide to be with me,” She said, her voice cracking as she tried to hold back her tears. “Please, if you really care about me? Please… stay away from me. You’re here, we’re both here because of the spell…” 

He bit his lip to keep himself from crying and slowly let go of her hands and stepped aside. She walked down the hall to put on her shoes. “Hey,” He managed to say, calling her name. 

She turned around. “Yes?” 

“I wished for you too, you know” He said. 

Tears were already streaming down her face, and she felt her heart break into a million pieces as she pressed on, determined to leave. She was in love with Yunho, and she knew his life was in danger.
