Choi Jongho - Bet

Choi Jongho x reader (no use of y/n) Fluffy fluffy fluffy Word count: 1k Inspired a lot by this clip of Jongho beating the rest of Ateez at arm wrestling. @eazycel - cause you told me to tag you (please let me know if there's spelling or grammar errors thank you)

~

You can only watch on as Mingi’s arm starts to shake with effort, elbow digging into the coffee table to try and gain some leverage.

On the other side, sits Jongho, cool as a cucumber. It doesn’t even look like he’s breaking a sweat as he pushes Mingi’s arm down. Mingi’s knuckles rap against the wood.

“What the hell?” The taller man is quick to cradle his arm while the other boys laugh at him. “How? You can’t still be this strong after doing it five times in a row?”

Jongho laughs and it lights up his whole face.

“I’m just that good.” He looks around the room. “Yeosang? You up for a round.”

There’s hollers and whoops as Yeosang gets up and gets ready to fight.

It’s the most fair battle. You see Jongho’s face contort ever so slightly as he pushes against the older boy but eventually, even Yeosang is defeated. Jongho stands up and parades around the room.

“You’re just a show off,” Wooyoung comments, still bruised from being the person who was beaten the fastest.

Jongho sits back down on the floor, mimicking Wooyoung’s words playfully. He gazes around the room, eyeing his next victim. Hongjoong opted out right in the beginning and Seonghwa left to go get the food.

There’s only you.

“No,” you say immediately, willing yourself to wiggle further into the couch. “No, no ways am I doing that.”

“Oh, come on,” Yunho chides, a smile on his face. “We all tried.”

“Yeah, and we all lost.” San folds his arms over his chest.

There’s a whole lot more commotion around you and you find yourself being pulled off of the couch, Yeosang on one arm and Jongho on the other.

“I really don’t want to do this!” You protest with little result.

Jongho settles you next to the coffee table and moves around it to face you.

The rest of the boys all try to hype you up with little result; their words are not making you feel like you could beat Jongho.

Someone nudges you in the ribs with their toes and you peer over your shoulder at San, the only person in the room who knows how you feel. He’s trying to be subtle with his eyes but it’s really not working as he looks between you and the person across from you. You smack San on the leg to get him to stop but his antics have already been noticed by someone else.

“What if I made it worth your while?” Jongho says, drawing your attention back to him. He’s smiling softly and it makes your heart jump. “What if we make a bet?”

“Ooo, can I place a bet?” Wooyoung tries to lean into the conversation but Yunho manages to pull him back.

“You’re not apart of this,” Jongho scoffs at Wooyoung.

Everyone’s eyes are on you but when you meet Jongho’s gaze, it doesn’t matter who else is in the room with you.

With a sigh, you ask what the bet will be, and you annoyingly feel San’s toe in your side again.

“Ok,” the boy in front of you begins. “Here’s my proposal.”

The room goes quiet.

“If I win,” Jongho starts. “You have to buy me whatever meal I want when we next get together. No matter what I chose.”

“Don’t I do that for you anyway?” You ask, still not sure if you’ve made the right choice agreeing to this.

Jongho laughs a little before placing his elbow on the table. His gaze lowers at his next words.

“Maybe. But if you win, I’ll take you out on your perfect date. No limitations.”

There’s muttering all around the room and you know that San is staring into the back of your head. Is there really a lose? You’ll get to spend time with the person you like either way…

The boys holler as you get ready to wrestle with Jongho, placing your hand in his. Yeosang elects himself as referee, holding both your hands in his.

“Three… two… one!” Yeosang lets go.

You’re prepared to lose. You push against Jongho ever so slightly only to find that he’s not really trying at all. Sure, there’s a little bit of push back but considering how easily he took the others down, this isn’t normal. Glancing up at him, everything looks normal but when he meets your eye he gives you a wink. You push against him some more and his arm tilts. More noise erupts from around you as you continue to push and after a few seconds of resisting, the back of Jongho’s hand hits the surface of the table.

What you can only describe as pure chaos breaks out. Mingi and Wooyoung are running around the room whilst Hongjoong and Yunho laugh. Yeosang is in complete shock. San nudges you again and you smack him hard on the leg causing him to yelp.

“What the hell is happening!?” Seonghwa’s voice manages to break through the ruckus as he stands with the bags of food in his hands.

“I lost,” Jongho states plainly before looking over at you. “And I’m taking the winner on a date.”

~

Jongho slips his hand into yours as the two of you walk down the street. He’d taken you to your favourite café and then to a music shop, buying you a record that you’d really wanted which he carried under his other arm. Now you were just wandering around the city, savouring every second you had with him.

“I really thought you would milk me more,” Jongho says to you. “We could’ve gone to a fancy restaurant or something.”

“It’s not about where we go.” You give his hand a gentle squeeze. “I would’ve been happy whether I won or lost. I just wanted to be with you.”

It looks like he wants to say something but his confidence disappears and Jongho giggles.

You decide to save him from himself.

“Do I now get to brag to the rest of the boys that I’m the only one to have beaten you at arm wrestling?”

“Oh yeah,” he says enthusiastically. “You have to. They’re never allowed to forget.”

It was your turn to feel shy as Jongho presses a soft kiss to your cheek before you continue to walk on in a comfortable silence.

It was the perfect date and that was something you could bet on.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
