I am his shadow, he stands in the light wonshik/hongbin (+ side!pairings), NC-17, 96826 words. the war between Heaven and Hell has turned cold. gone are the days of outright century-spanning battles; instead, angels and demons exist in a state of fragile peace whilst they work to undermine each other for the fate of mortal souls. when wonshik—who’s never been the best angel—is assigned to solve a murder, he finds himself butting heads with hongbin—a local demon—and what appears to be a simple case quickly turns complicated as what they discover threatens everything they’ve ever known.

The Price of Freedom

Prompt: #189 for @just-existing1​ – “You’re gone… I watch you disappear…”

just-existing1 said:

Can you do prompt 189 with Taekwoon?

Pairing: Jung Taekwoon x reader

World: Contract (read HERE)

Genre: demon au / angst / fluff

Warnings: none, aside from the supernatural nature of the story

Word count: 1706

A/N: This story is part of a previous world created. Whilst you could read it without the previous context, I highly recommend that you read Contract, linked above first.

A cold dread overwhelmed you and you snapped up from your slumber, choking on your sobs that were already wracking through your body. Clawing the blankets towards yourself, you peered around your room for signs of distress, other than your own. Your belongings merely stared back at you and you began to wail uncontrollably with the pain that clutched at your heart.

It didn’t matter how many times you had this nightmare, it was raw and crippling every time.

Throwing back the blankets, you padded out into the living area of the penthouse, stopping in your tracks when you saw a figure over in the kitchen. Despite the small sense of logic, you squashed it down as you rushed over to his side, throwing your arms around him from behind. “Oh thank god, you’re-”

You realised then that your arms had come up empty and you dropped your head, the tears dripping to the tiles beneath your feet.

“That’s right, you’re not here anymore.”

It was the one sentence you had repeated to yourself the most since Taekwoon’s demise. The price you had to pay for his freedom. It was ironic, the whole reason he had worked endlessly towards breaking free from his contract was so he could be free to do as he pleased with you.

Neither of you had expected his freedom to come at the cost of losing his body in the process. Within your pain, you hoped the man you loved was at peace now; even if you were anything but free yourself.

The house you stood within had been your shared apartment, and then your lovers’ nest. Now it felt too large, the emptiness without Taekwoon overwhelming you day in and out. The grief was unbearable and you had hoped for the contract you had made with the demon all those years ago to break as well. Then, you’d be riddled with your sickness again and leave this world behind like Taekwoon had done with you.

Moreover, you wished you hadn’t figured out the way to break the curse upon him. If he wasn’t free, he would be at your side still and you would never let him go.

Instead, the reality was bleak. You were still as healthy as you had become after Taekwoon had saved your life, living day in and out in a world that had no place for you anymore. You were neither human nor demon, a hybrid with no place calling for you outside of these walls. No one cared for you anymore, a simple face in a sea of others whenever you went out for necessities.

There was a small part of you waiting for Taekwoon to return, however. Surely there was more to life than what you existed through right now. A reason you were still here, outside of the eternal longing you barely endured. Taekwoon had always been someone who wouldn’t give up, and the denial you held onto insisted that he would still be out there somewhere, fighting his way back to you. It would make no sense for him to just give up now.

And yet, you had seen it firsthand. You were right there when he started to disappear, your hands falling short just as they had now in the kitchen. How could anyone survive through that? It was impossible and yet, you were clutching at all options deep down.

You could say the sentence over and over to yourself but it did nothing to comfort you.

A year passed by in a blur. You had expected it to be longer, dragging your feet through each muddled and painful day. Although, life continued. You eventually left the penthouse for another of Taekwoon’s homes on Earthside, a small cottage in the middle of nowhere. You had always wondered why he had chosen to buy such a home, knowing the demon to spend more in a night than you had in a year. He lived for the finer things, you included, and the amount of dresses he had ripped from upon your body over the years would have easily been worth more than this place had been to buy.

He had never told you, of course. This place was one he would only return you when the most desperate, the times where not even your comforting words and gentle touches could ease his heart.

Moving here now felt the same for you. Without Taekwoon to calm you, working the land, tending to your animals and harvesting food for the local market kept you satisfied, busy. You had little time to dwell on the past with him. The gardens bloomed; the vegetables grew higher and larger than you had ever anticipated. Soon, you were talking to the milking goats as if they were your only friends you had remaining and sewing your own basic clothing that felt more flattering than any bejewelled gown of your past. You left Taekwoon’s fortunes behind, living for just what was in your means.

There was more fulfilment in your world working this hard. You had once believed being a lawyer would make you the happiest. And to some degree, Taekwoon had made you that at his side. You had negotiated more deals in this lifetime than you could begin to fathom with both humans and interesting creatures of the Underworld. You had talked your way out of death numerous times and convinced an entire vampire coven to change their outdated institution to one that matched a modern world. You had achieved a great deal at the side of your demon lover, and yet it wasn’t until you were sowing seeds for next year’s produce that you had come to realise it had no value. The time you were in now, creating something with your hard work, with the body that Taekwoon had healed from the brink of death, was the most valuable days of your life.

Still, the dreams followed you. Sitting up as the tears silently streamed down your face, you got up, walking outside into the cool night air. Staring up at the sky littered in a thousand stars, you willed yourself to calm down, to come back to reality.

Taekwoon wasn’t going to return now.

It took you some time, the colours of the sky beginning to brighten with the sign of a new morning on the horizon, before you could say you had stepped out of the nightmare and convinced yourself of your place in this world now. Turning, you went to go inside to prepare for the day when you saw him standing there, watching you intently.

Even if it was another hallucination, you smiled, soaking in his intense blue eyes, those that had guided you from the very start. They were your favourite thing in this entire world, and you allowed yourself the moment to admire them before the illusion disappeared, much like it always did.

“Do you plan to just stand there staring?” he wondered, and you frowned, blinking softly.

“This is new,” you murmured as you walked towards the conjured Taekwoon before you. He watched your movement precisely, his eyes travelling your body and arriving back on your face when you were in arm’s reach.

“Of all the places for you to come to. What have you done to my homestead?”

Still a little confused, you glanced around yourself. “This is my home. Doesn’t it look alive?”

“Do I look alive?” he asked softly and you shook your head. “Really? Why don’t you reach out and see for yourself.”

“You’re gone… I watched you disappear,” you told Taekwoon sadly, sidestepping around him and going into the house. Under your breath, you told yourself this wasn’t real repetitively, jumping when the door opened and closed a second time. Snapping around, your eyes widened. “What on…”

“You gave up on my return? Fickle human.”

“E-Excuse me?!” you exclaimed, uncaring due to your shock, whether you were talking to a man who was or wasn’t truly before you. “I waited for you each and every day! I still am waiting! Why do you think I’m here! This house… this house is a part of you!”

Pursing his lips in a way that made your heart ache and flutter simultaneously, Taekwoon stepped towards you. “And are you still a part of me?”

“Who else would take in someone under your contract?”

“I’m amazed Hakyeon didn’t ship you off to help with the elves Hongbin and Wonshik.”

Peering more closely at the man before you, slowly you reached out your hand, Taekwoon catching it midway. His touch was electric, much as it always had been and you felt your legs give way, right as Taekwoon pulled you into his arms.

You sobbed for what felt like an entire day. Nestled into his chest, his hand gently rubbing circles at your back, his words changing from comforting to irksome. This was the man you had fallen in love with, the demon who you sold your soul to.

Somehow he was back and you couldn’t stop the tears of relief that fell from your year-long heartache.

“Just know it was just as painful to be away from you, my love.”

“Why did it take so long?” you managed to ask when your emotions dried up, searching his face for all the answers to all of your questions. Taekwoon smiled softly, brushing your hair away from your face. You then huffed in annoyance. “Troublesome demon.”

“The most wicked of them all to have caused so much heartache to you.”

“Are you truly here? For good?”

“Well, the flowers need pruning and the cows need fodder, do they not? You can’t be expected to do it all. Besides, there’s a soul to collect at the end of all of this.”

“You breached our contract,” you retorted, Taekwoon laughing at your statement heartily. “Also, didn’t you collect this soul in an entirely different way?”

“Who said it was your soul that was up for grabs? It’s only fair if I’m to take yours then you must have mine when that time comes.”

“So you’ll be here forever?”

“Freedom comes with a heavy price to pay. Now that our debts are finally clear, we will have more than forever together.”

01

“We know that in September, we will wander through the warm winds of summer’s wreckage. We will welcome summer’s ghost.”

— Henry Rollins

The morning after the storm is bright and golden. Sanghyuk wakes up when the sun is well above the horizon. The rattling of the windows in the storm has kept most of the manor's occupants awake and he only manages to sleep once the storm passes, well into the night. He makes his way down the halls to the kitchen. The house is quiet, as if slumbering after the stormy night like its inhabitants are. All except one Sanghyuk discovers as he finds Hakyeon in the kitchen.

“Good morning” Hakyeon greets him and Sanghyuk greets him in response. His throat is constricted in the mornings and his voice sounds husky with sleep. He makes a beeline for the nearest chair and tries not to rub his eyes and fails.

“Did you sleep well?” Hakyeon asks, brewing tea and adding some extra water to the kettle for Sanghyuk. He slides onto a tall stool by the counter, sitting next to Sanghyuk who yawns sleepily when handed his mug. Hakyeon almost melts at how soft Sanghyuk looks right now with his hair mussed, eyes half closed and sweater pulled down to cover his fingers as he warms them on the mug with the hot tea. He stuffs the warmth in his chest deep down and tries not to let the sudden overwhelming amount of affection show.

“More or less,” Sanghyuk says before yawning again. Hakyeon smiles knowingly and Sanghyuk sighs, admitting to the truth.

“The storm was really loud yesterday,” Hakyeon says, staring out of the window. In the distance, Sanghyuk can see the garden filled with leaves and jumbled flower beds and feels terrible for Jaehwan who has been slaving away in the gardens since he came home.

“I hope the farm is better off” Hakyeon says, knocking on the table thrice. Sanghyuk’s family’s farm has many open fields and Hakyeon doesn’t believe flowers are as sturdy as some other crops grown around town. At least vineyards have wooden frames supporting the growing plants.

“Our fields and greenhouses are sturdy, don’t worry,” Sanghyuk says. The rain storms of Amboise are not new to his family and the farm has safeguards in place to protect the produce. The great storm during his great grandfather’s time had been a hard lesson with an entire year’s worth of crops lost.

“You know” Hakyeon starts and his smooth voice pulls Sanghyuk out of his reminiscing. “On a more peaceful day, it’s refreshing to sit outside in the garden in the mornings.”

Sanghyuk hums in agreement and Hakyeon wistfully stares outside. He turns to Sanghyuk who looks at him thoughtfully. He raises an eyebrow and Sanghyuk shakes his head. Sanghyuk sets his mug down, idly running his finger around the rim as he rests his head on his other hand.

“The rains will stop once September starts” Sanghyuk says. “And we’ll have a few days of sunlight in early fall before the cold creeps in.”

“That’s my favourite part of the year,” Hakyeon confesses. “When it is a pleasant temperature and there is still sunshine to warm you up.”

“We should go on a picnic then like we did last week. Or simply walk by the river. The trees along the banks turn orange and look beautiful” Sanghyuk proposes.

“I’d like that,” Hakyeon says, smiling brightly. “We should make a plan once everyone else wakes up. But I don’t know if Hongbin and Jaehwan are staying in Amboise that long.”

“Ah” Sanghyuk says, looking at his own mug. He doesn’t meet Hakyeon’s eyes. How could he have forgotten about Hongbin? Taekwoon and Jaehwan’s enigmatic guest who seems to have captured all of Hakyeon’s attention with his easy and friendly going charm. Jealousy is an ugly virtue but it hits Sanghyuk full swing.

“Hopefully the weather clears up before he has to leave” Sanghyuk says out loud without truly meaning it.

02

"Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature."

- Friedrich Nietzsche

It’s Sunday and Sanghyuk chooses to stay behind at the farm. He intends on spending the day in bed, wallowing in self pity. Now that Hakyeon has company of someone he likes, it feels stupid to continue meeting him at the farmer’s market and giving him flowers.

In hindsight, it sounds like an absolutely stupid plan and Sanghyuk is embarrassed by his past self. Who would think that flowers are a good indication of affection in this day and age? For all he knows, Hakyeon probably thinks flowers aren’t even that significant to him since he grew up on the farm.

Sanghyuk rolls around on his bed and lets more mortifying scenarios pop up in his head. It’s acutely painful and Sanghyuk thinks romance is just not worth it and he should wash his hands off it before he does any more damage to his dignity.

His phone chimes when he receives a message from Jaehwan asking him where he is and why he isn’t at the market downtown. Sanghyuk racks his brains for a plausible excuse and settles for being needed to help his mother at the farm. The sunflowers need to be harvested and he really should lend her a helping hand and he resolves to do so once Jaehwan replies.

Perhaps he should have immediately left his phone behind because Jaehwan messages him to say that Hakyeon missed him and Sanghyuk almost cries in frustration at his own feelings.

-

"I know what you are doing, you know" Jaehwan says, using a clipper to snip at the thorns of the rose in his hand.

"What am I doing?" Sanghyuk asks, focusing on the task at hand instead of focusing on Jaehwan.

It's the starting of September and these will be the last batches of roses to bloom on the farm. His father puts him to work on removing the thorns from the flowers before they can be sold to the town florists. It's time consuming work but it is perfect to avoid your thoughts and Sanghyuk agrees to do it.

That is, till Jaehwan shows up.

Jaehwan is a persistent man (and a good friend for checking in on him). Sanghyuk doesn't like to admit it but he has been moping ever since he returned from dinner at Taekwoon's house. He doesn't think he was that obvious but here Jaehwan is, sitting in his greenhouse and dethorning roses and looking at him knowingly.

Jaehwan's scrutiny makes him feel foolish and silly and Sanghyuk decides not to look his way.  Jaehwan isn't deterred by this. Sanghyuk doesn’t hold a candle to the flame that is Taekwoon avoiding talking about feelings.

"You're being foolish" he says plainly. The sky is blue, the wind is chilly today and Sanghyuk is being foolish. All three sentences can be expressed to the same effect in Jaehwan's tone. Sanghyuk splutters and snips a leaf off by accident. The leaf falls to the ground, its existence mocking his lack of subtlety.

"You should be glad Hakyeon is here with you and not cities away, too busy or too tired to talk some days" Jaehwan says bitterly.

"I know…" Sanghyuk starts. He sympathizes with Jaehwan. He doesn't know Wonshik but he must be a wonderful man to have Jaehwan so devoted to him even when there are miles between them. But he doesn't have the assurances for his affection that Jaehwan has from Wonshik.

"I don't think… I don't think he likes me the same way I like him" Sanghyuk admits. The words hurt and he busies himself with sorting through the bundles of flowers and arranging them into neat bouquets.

"You couldn't be further from the truth" Jaehwan scoffs. "Anyone with a functioning pair of eyes can tell Hakyeon likes you."

"Maybe he used to but-" Sanghyuk cuts off. If Jaehwan doesn't know about Hakyeon's actual object of affection then it is not his place to tell him. To be honest the idea of Hakyeon liking him, even if it is once upon a time is quite incredulous.

"But?" Jaehwan prompts.

"Nothing" Sanghyuk lies. He sighs and lets his shoulders drop. It really is starting to get colder. Amboise doesn't have cold winters but Sanghyuk wonders if this season just reflects the heartbreak he feels.

“Well, he likes you and you like him and you are being stupid by not asking him out when you can” Jaehwan says and Sanghyuk sighs.

-

Sanghyuk doesn't plan on hiding forever. The town is small and he will eventually run into Hakyeon. If not at the farmer's market then at the small movie theatre by 2nd Street that Hakyeon frequents whenever there is a new movie released or at the amphitheatre in the Town Square where the travelling troupe performs when they are in town. Hakyeon really loves plays and you can see his eyes lighting up when he watches performers deliver unrealistically dramatic lines.

Sanghyuk knows that running into Hakyeon is inevitable. But he doesn't expect to run into him at the delicatessen because it is so far from the area Hakyeon lives in. (A part of Sanghyuk wonders if he pays too much attention to Hakyeon or if it is normal to know so much about a person after knowing them for so long.)

"Hi" Hakyeon says, as surprised as Sanghyuk feels.

"Hey" Sanghyuk says, pushing his hands into his pockets. Blunt ending to a long lasting crush or not, it still is a pleasure to see Hakyeon. It's cold enough for him to start wearing thin sweaters and he smells of earthy spices and his favourite wood scented perfume.

"Haven't seen you in a long time" Hakyeon says, paying for his order and putting the wrapped meats away in the basket he is carrying.

"End of summer harvests usually means a lot of work at the farm" Sanghyuk tells him. Hakyeon steps back to let him order but hangs close by, unwilling to end the serendipitous meeting first.

"Well, if you are free this Wednesday then we were thinking of a small wine tasting outing to the vineyards in Bordeaux. Nothing fancy" Hakyeon tells him.

"So no dressing up in suit and ties with Taekwoon quoting great dead French poets of the past?" Sanghyuk asks teasingly.

"I'm afraid not" Hakyeon laughs. "Hongbin is going back home by the Sunday train. We wanted to take him there before he goes there because he doesn't know when he will return."

"A shame" Sanghyuk says. His order is ready and he pays for it. This is a perfect cue to escape this conversation. Sanghyuk isn't inclined to be the third wheel to a getaway where his crush can be stolen from him. But he makes the mistake to linger because he has missed Hakyeon too much to cut him off.

"Taekwoon and Jaehwan are clearly distraught. But what do you say? Would you like to come along?" Hakyeon asks hopefully.

Sanghyuk has never been able to say no to his doe like eyes.

-

“The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.”

― Tennessee Williams

"I'm glad you decided to come along" Jaehwan says as Sanghyuk helps him load their luggage into the car trunk.

The trip is short and the company settles on using Jaehwan's convertible for the trip. The amount of bags makes Sanghyuk question their decision but Jaehwan insists that his baby can make the trip and so he defers to his judgement.

"Are you going to go to Paris with Hongbin on Sunday?" Sanghyuk asks Jaehwan.

"No. But I am leaving on Sunday too. I am going to Manchester to meet my father. Business stuff" Jaehwan says. Sanghyuk doesn't know what exactly Jaehwan does but he knows his father works in the fast fashion business and assumes it must be something related to that.

"How long are you traveling for this time?" Sanghyuk asks, making idle conversation while they wait for others to show up.

"A few months. I think I'll be back in spring next" Jaehwan says, counting and estimating in his head.

"On the plus side, you will be with your family for Christmas," Sanghyuk points out. Jaehwan smiles and Sanghyuk is glad. He thinks he will miss Jaehwan and finds that he genuinely means it.

"Can’t say that will be a blessing. I guess it's time to go" Jaehwan says, watching as Hakyeon and Hongbin emerge from the house followed by Taekwoon who locks the door behind him. The two laugh at something while Taekwoon indignantly protests. Hakyeon puts his hand around Hongbin's waist and Sanghyuk looks away wondering if he has made a mistake agreeing to this outing.

-

“I don’t know why we travelled all the way to Bordeaux when we live right next to Loire Valley” Sanghyuk confesses as they unpack their luggage in the shared room. The group stops at a motel for the night. The two cities are not far by road but no one wants to drive for hours after a long day and in the middle of the night.

“We travelled because Taekwoon believes Bordeaux red wines are the best when clearly Samour sparkling wines are superior but then Taekwoon just said I had cheap taste buds” Jaehwan scoffed. He flopped around on his side of the bed before pouting and burying his head in the pillows.

“So you basically agreed to travel here to prove a point to Taekwoon” Sanghyuk says, amused at the elder’s antics.

“Would have snuck in a bottle of bubbly too if it wasn’t ‘in bad taste’ and ‘not allowed Jaehwan’” Jaehwan says, imitating Taekwoon’s disapproving voice and adding air quotes for emphasis. Sanghyuk laughs and Jaehwan continues his impressions, happy that he has an audience in a person who isn’t clearly protective of his brother.

Their reverie is interrupted when Jaehwan gets a call from Wonshik and Hakyeon steps out of the shower, announcing it is free for whoever wants to use it next. Jaehwan steps out into the balcony to answer it and Sanghyuk looks to Hakyeon who simply has a towel wrapped around his waist. His features are softer than what Sanghyuk imagined and Sanghyuk commits those lines and curves to memory.

“You’ll catch a cold like that” he says when Hakyeon catches him staring. Hakyeon blushes and pulls a t-shirt over his head. Sanghyuk looks away and gives him the privacy to get dressed. His cheeks have a matching flustered shade of pink and he focuses on picking at the frills of the pillow instead of looking at Hakyeon.

The bed dips and Hakyeon sits next to him. The two of them look at the balcony where they can see Jaehwan smiling as he talks, parts of his conversation reaching them through the open window and the dusk frames his visage. The sky visible above the neighbouring buildings is already blue. The sun is setting and Sanghyuk feels the night wash over. Next to him, Hakyeon is warm and smells of berry scented shampoo. Their shoulders brush and knees touch. Hakyeon doesn’t move away so Sanghyuk stays too.

“We have some time before the wine tasting” Hakyeon says.

“We do” Sanghyuk agrees.

Hakyeon puts his head down on Sanghyuk’s shoulder and the younger tenses up. “Wake me up when we need to leave” he says, closing his eyes and resting against Sanghyuk. His frame is sturdy and his body is all muscle and broad shoulders after working on the farm for years. It feels warm and safe. Hakyeon’s own skin is cooler after the shower and the contrast feels pleasant.

“Okay” Sanghyuk agrees. Hakeon feels him relax and hunch a bit so he can rest properly. He puts an arm around Hakyeon and Hakyeon places a hand on his thigh and slowly falls asleep the way blooming flowers close at the end of day.

"Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar."

- Delia Owens

As predicted, Taekwoon and Jaehwan argue the moment the sommelier withdraws after pouring the first round of wines. Hakyeon shushes them to get them to behave the two huff petulantly. Hongbin looks at Sanghyuk and the two try not to laugh too hard. Taekwoon and Jaehwan restrain themselves till the third wine is served and then break into barbs and jibes at the other’s taste with no hope of reconciliations any moment in the near future.

“Are they always like this?” Sanghyuk asks Hongbin as Hakyeon sighs and drags them away from the high table to a more peaceful corner where they won’t disturb their fellow diners.

“Hakyeon tells me that Taekwoon is only this lively around Jaehwan. I am inclined to believe him” Hongbin says.

“You and Hakyeon seem close,” Sanghyuk casually comments. He shouldn’t be petty but he is and slightly jealous too. But Hongbin doesn’t notice the bite in his voice.

“Hakyeon is like an older brother to me now. We get along better than I thought we would but Hakyeon is just so friendly you know?” Hongbin tells him.

“A brother?” Sanghyuk asks in surprise.

“Trust me, I was surprised too” Hongbin agrees. “I don’t make friends this easily. But then again I don’t normally travel to far away towns with people I have only known for a few days or fall in love with someone I just met.”

“In love… with someone you just met? Taekwoon?” Sanghyuk asks, multiple pieces of the puzzle clicking into place together in his head.

This explains the odd glances and the way Hongbin and Taekwoon always gravitate to each other when Taekwoon is normally so reserved. All of a sudden, Sanghyuk feels foolish for not knowing this sooner because it has always been in front of him as plain as day.

“Yeah” Hongbin confirms, glancing over at his lover who stands to the side with his hands folded and glaring at Hakyeon and Jaehwan who are in a deep discussion about something else. Hongbin walks over and rescues Taekwoon from the conversation that will have no end and Taekwoon puts his hand around Hongbin. Sanghyuk feels very silly indeed.

“Between the two of them, I am going to age faster than I should” Hakyeon says when he comes over to talk to Sanghyuk. “I swear I have a few grey hairs already.”

“I think they would suit you” Sanghyuk says. The realization that Hakyeon does not like Hongbin because Hongbin likes Taekwoon gives him a rush of bravery that no wine can. The merlot is potent but the intoxication of affection is deadlier.

“Grey hairs?” Hakyeon asks, amused at Sanghyuk’s declaration.

“I think you’d still be pretty after aging for many years” Sanghyuk tells him.

The sincerity of the statement makes Hakyeon blush. He seems to be doing that a lot around him. Crush or no crush, Hakyeon thinks Sanghyuk will be terrible for him. The indulgence and affection will spoil him beyond measure. If only Hakyeon has the courage to reach for what he wants.

“Ah well, it’s only till Sunday I guess. Then it will just be me and Taekwoon again” Hakyeon says ruefully.

“I’ll miss both of them” Sanghyuk says. This time he means it genuinely. Hakyeon hums in agreement and the two of them sip on their wine in a companionable silence.

“If you ever feel alone at the manor, you can come down to the farm sometimes. There’s always people working on something or the other and the sights from the fields are pretty” Sanghyuk offers. “Jaehwan comes over all the time now. We always have room for one more if you want company.”

-

Sanghyuk sees Hakyeon next in October, two weeks after their trip to Bordeaux. The homogeneously green trees give way to a mix of brown, orange, yellow and green and the summer rains give way to clear blue skies where the white clouds float, content to just exist and drift.

Sanghyuk waits for Hakyeon, this time carrying a bouquet of roses. It’s a surprise batch of late bloomers and his mother allows him to take a few. It’s too cold for roses but the sun shines bright on some days and the flowers thrive and Sanghyuk thinks that this is reflective of his own feelings for Hakyeon. He’ll never verbally admit to Hakyeon, but he can’t think of any alternative except to give them to him.

“You have roses!” Hakyeon exclaims in happiness when he walks up to Sanghyuk. His arms are full with his purchases and Sanghyuk takes a few bags from him so he can hold the flowers.

“Late bloomers” Sanghyuk tells him by way of an explanation.

“Still very pretty” Hakyeon says. The roses aren’t red and this isn’t a tacky love confession but he finds the light pink colour pretty and any gift from Sanghyuk is a gift he will treasure.

The two walk down to the parking lot and Sanghyuk helps Hakyeon put things away. Hakyeon holds onto the flowers, insisting that they are too pretty to part with. Sanghyuk loiters and they make idle talk about the weather and the townsfolk they know and how the winter this year seems colder than the previous year. When they run out of topics to talk about, they talk about more trivial things till Sanghyuk looks at his watch and realizes he must go back to help his family.

“I also have tickets to a play by the travelling troupe you love” Sanghyuk says, shuffling his feet like an awkward child. “If you’d like to go with me.”

“I don’t think I would like anything more” Hakyeon declares. He smiles and Sanghyuk thinks he looks prettier than the flowers he is holding. In fact, Hakyeon’s smile might be the prettiest thing in the universe. A sign of the spring of the heart in the midst of the somber autumn all around that seems to gain colour as the old leaves softly drift through the wind.

Best Birthday Ever

Genre: kinda fluffy, with vixx being friendly.

Pairing: Kim Wonshik/Ravi x Reader (female).

Warnings: slightly friends-to-lovers.

Word count: 1.117.

REQUESTED.

When Wonshik lets you know about your surprise birthday party organized by VIXX's members.

-x-

"Where's Hongbin? We need to go to the market!"

Hakyeon was grabbing his wallet and waiting for his fellow member, that was currently being dragged from his room.

"You can play your games later."

Taekwoon was the one dragging his friend.

"But why am I the one who's going to the market with hyung?"

Everybody in the room just rolled their eyes.

"We're preparing the place for Y/N's birthday party! Go and don't be late. Has anyone talked with Wonshik?"

Ken was in the middle of hanging up a banner which said "congratulations", every letter with a different color.

"I did. He's gonna pick her up at 7PM."

"Do you think he'll talk about this?"

"As soon as she enters his car."

"Maybe we should have given this task to someone else."

"Yeah, but you know he kinda likes her. We wouldn't have a choice."

Giggling, Hakyeon left the dorm with Hongbin to buy foods and drinks for the night.

"Hyung, which cake should we choose?"

"I think she really likes those with peanuts and dulce de leche. There's any like that here?"

The most important item was already chosen.

Meanwhile, your phone was ringing out loud and non-stop, making you almost run from the shower.

"What's wrong?"

"Y/N? What do you mean? Nothing's wrong."

"You called like, five times, I thought..."

"Oh, no, everything is totally fine. I just need you tonight."

"W-what?"

Wonshik's face looked like a tomato.

"O-oh, I m-mean... We should... I wanna take you..."

"What are you talking about, Wonshik?"

"Party! Be ready at 7PM. Bye!"

Kim Wonshik, you're a mess. 

But at 7PM, he was at your door, trying to forget that pathetic call and ringing the bell.

And you looked so good that Ravi started to question if he was at your place or at a art museum. 

"Let's go."

Grabbing his hand to make him move, finally you were in the way.

"So, you kinda scared me today. What was that all about?"

"I'm sorry, I just got nervous."

"I could feel that, but why?"

He had two options: tell the truth about his crush, or making up an excuse. But he picked up an third.

"I was afraid I would reveal your surprise birthday party."

What the hell, Kim Wonshik?

You just laughed. His disappointed face was hilarious. But it was kinda endearing.

"The guys are throwing a party because one: they like you, and two: they think it's amazing someone's birthday happens at february 29th. But please, act surprised."

You just hummed and turned to him.

"Why should I act surprised? Is there something happening?"

Winking and smiling at him, he felt his heart working way too fast, like his feet on the accelerator pedal, unconsciously. But gladly you both arrived without any accident. And as you entered the dark apartment, the rest of the guys begin to sing the classic song, holding the cake with sparkly candles and wearing birthday hats. 

It was very nice. The place was filled with balloons and there was food everywhere. Also pictures of you all together. 

"C'mon, make a wish."

You looked at everyone's faces and closed your eyes, smiling and wishing silently to just keep being surrounded by such great people. 

After blowing the candles and placing the cake at the table, you could thank them for the event.

"Did Wonshik told you that we were preparing this?" 

Sanghyuk asked putting a hat on you.

"What? No! I didn't knew it at all."

Everyone looked at you and at Ravi. Hyuk laughed. 

"You can't expect us to believe in this lie, Y/N."

Hongbin was offering you a drink.

"He did told me that he needed me tonight though."

Now it was the time that they got surprised, while Wonshik tried to cave a hole in the floor and get inside.

"Finally he did something about it! We were going crazy!"

Jaehwan smiled looking at you both.

"About it? About... what?"

Uh oh. Ravi shook his head behind you, meaning that he didn't revealed anything.

"What? Oh, let me ask you something. How old are you? Because your birthday is on february 29th. Do you have anniversaries only on leap years?"

You seriously couldn't understand how Jaehwan's mind worked, so you just laughed it off and started to eat, deciding what game you all should play.

"Before we play, you should open your gifts."

"Wait, did you guys bought me things?"

"Why wouldn't we? 

Hakyeon placed a small envelop on your hands, which made you a little confused. What could be inside an envelop? Oh, yes, a vip ticket for your favorite band concert! You almost jumped to hug him tightly as soon as you saw the paper on your hands. 

Then Leo gave you a paint, with your favorite art piece. That should be expensive, you practically didn't wanna even touch to not ruin it. But it was so beautiful, and so meaningful. You couldn't believe he remembered when you talked about this.

Jaehwan was the next one, and you could cry looking at that. He gave you an album with all of your pictures together, since the beginning of your friendship, and the cover was a map of how the stars were aligned when you were born.

Hongbin didn't forget how much you loved to travel and get to know different cultures, but since he couldn't just travel with you, he gave you an globe that could work as a lamp too, and you absolutely loved it.

Hyuk bought you some shirts that you were dying to have for a while but couldn't buy because the campaign had already ended. You didn't know how he purchase those beautiful clothes, but you were very grateful and ready to rock with your new outfit.

And lastly was Wonshik. Very excited to know about it, you opened the bag and saw a little velvet box. He was shy looking at you, and you gasped out loud seeing the rose gold necklace, having an Saturn's pendant, and with a part of the necklace passing through Saturn's ring, holding a star on the end. It was so lovely, made you speechless. 

"Look inside the box."

You did as Ravi told. There was a message in there that made all your feelings come to the surface. 

"I can feel no gravity. The thing that drags me in is only you." 

You legit teared up. And having nothing to say, you just did the first thing that popped into your mind: pecked Wonshik's lips. 

It was indeed a surprise, but you would cherish this memory for your entire life, no doubt.

KDA In Excelsis: Ch7 (The King’s Avatar AU, CEO!Hakyeon, Gamer!Hongbin, VIXX x OCs ) Character Charts [x]

"Choi Sooyeon, remember, no matter how nervous you are, don’t drink too much alcohol in front of your most esteemed Cha Hakyeon, got that?!” Sooyeon slapped her cheeks purposefully and ducked inside the tent bar.

“Is that you sem--you!” Hana glared at her from her table. “What are you doing here?”

“Hakyeon... I mean, the Boss... invited me for a drink.”

“No he didn’t, he invited me.”

They gaped at each other and Sooyeon knew that Hana’s shock mirrored her own. Before she could react, she was pushed into the seat opposite Hana’s and a pair of handcuffs captured her wrist on one end and was linked to the table with the other. “Jaehwannie!” She gasped in disbelief at her friend as he pocketed the keys.

“Kim Wonshik!” Hana shrieked, tugging at her own cuffed wrist. “Let me go!”

“Sorry, Boss’ orders.” Wonshik danced away from her free hand as she flailed it at him, trying to either hit him or steal the key.

“I’m going to kill you!”

He shrugged. “I know, but I’d rather be dead than unemployed.”

“Hakyeon-hyung says we can’t let you leave until you make friends with each other. You know where to call us, Sooyeonie.” Jaehwan motioned for Wonshik, and they both left the tent.

The two women stared each other down, until the tent bar lady brought them several bottles of soju, a plate of tteokbokki with fishcakes, and several other snacks. “Your boss already paid for everything, and he said not to let you two leave until you’re looking reaaaal friendly, so I suggest you start drinking.”

Hana huffed and tried to pour a bottle in her shot glass, only to find out it was still closed. “Ahjumma! These aren’t opened yet!”

“Yeah, open them by yourselves.”

“But we’re half cuffed!” she waved her free hand.

“Then work together!”

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” she shrilled.

Sooyeon winced at the sound. “You know what, I’ll quickly open all of those bottles, just hold them still.” With Hana holding the bottles, she twisted the caps off. “There, now we can just drink and not deal with each other.”

Hana grimaced at her then took three shots in succession. Sooyeon sighed and started drinking as well. After she finished her second bottle she was already feeling dizzy, but to her shock, Hana was reaching for a fourth bottle.

“Hey, are you sure you should be drinking this much?” She tried grabbing the bottle but missed.

“Don’t you dare try to lecture me, you’re not Hakyeon!” Hana poured herself another shot, grumbling: “Why did you even come to drink with him?”

“He’s my boss, it’s not like I could say no.” Sooyeon pouted. “And I don’t want to say no...”

“You could tell him you feel like you weren’t good enough to be near him,” Hana snapped.

“Hey!” Sooyeon slammed down her shot glass before she could take a drink, spilling soju. “Do you think you have the right to act like this to me, after you poisoned my food and locked me in the storage room?!”

“Please. Wonshik told me you hated cilantro and have a mild allergy to shrimp. I wasn’t going to do anything serious to you, I’m jealous, not a psycho.” Hana raised an eyebrow at her. “Also, every employee is told during orientation not to go to the fourth storage room without explicit authorization, but obviously, you zoned out on that.”

“Oh...? I was looking around for Hakyeon when I was given an orientation...” Sooyeon muttered. “Still, that wasn’t very nice of you, was it?” 

“I never said it was.”

“As long as you know....” Sooyeon grumbled.

Hana downed another shot. “Why should I be nice to you anyway? You’ve already latched on to Binnie, now you’re making eyes at Hakyeon-sempai too?!”

“I--I wasn’t making eyes at him!” Sooyeon stuttered. “And I wouldn’t latch on to your ‘Binnie’ if he were the last man on Earth!”

“Excuse me?” Hana gasped. “He's the best man on this Earth!”

“Aww, it’s true love, you think he’s perfect.”

“He is perfect!”

“He may have that face and he may be a gaming god, but he’s pretty much ignorant about everything outside of games and he’s reaaaally prickly! Like a hedgehog!”

“Hey! I like hedgehogs, I love hedgehogs, I have a hedgehog, his name is Sasuke.” Hana slapped the table. “So don’t you dare say anything bad about hedgehogs or Binnie!”

Sooyeon rolled her eyes. “Look, I wasn’t going to mention this, but the man won’t even do any events or endorsements; he’s letting you and the kids do all that stuff while he’s bumming around--”

“He’s not bumming! From the beginning, Hongbin only wanted to be known for his playing, not for his looks. That’s the reason why he’ll never take on endorsements.”

“I’m just saying, I don’t see him the way you do. I’m not a threat.”

“... Really?” Hana gazed up at her, eyes shining.

“Cute,” Sooyeon gasped. “Look at him like that and you’re going to get yourself kissed.”

“No it won’t!” Hana broke into sobs and flung her free arm on the table, burying her face in it. “I guess he just likes girls who are taller and brighter and cooler...” She peeked from her arm.

Sooyeon clapped her free hand on one of her blushing cheeks. “I’m flattered you think that way of me but--”

“I didn’t specifically say it was you,” Hana retorted.

Sooyeon folded her hand on the table. “Oh.”

“Hey.” Hana clasped her hand, eyes still shining but her cheeks and lips much pinker after crying.

“Miss Hana, I already warned you that looking like that is going to get you kissed--”

“If we’re not rivals after all, maybe you could help me?” Hana suggested. “Hongbinnie... seems to listen to you. Maybe you could put in a good word for me?”

“I dunno, if you’ve worked with him for years and he doesn’t appreciate whatever you have going on there, maybe he’s just not ever going to be into you...” Sooyeon’s words trailed off when Hana became progressively more downcast. “I mean, maybe he’s just a bit dumb not to realize how amazing you are, and if I talk to him, he will, yeah?”

"We weren’t always like that...” Hana murmured. “He knew I joined the team because I was in love with that amazing gamer streaming his plays as Water Hyacinth, yet we were close friends. But at some point, Hongbin changed... and I guess I did too. It’s hard not to get frustrated when I couldn’t understand why...” She drained her shot glass, finishing her fourth bottle, and promptly passed out, falling backwards.

Sooyeon yelped, but Wonshik was there in a flash, catching Hana and freeing her wrist.

Sooyeon gawked at him. “I thought you left?”

“Nah, if Hana injured her hands, then the captain would’ve fired me then killed me, which would be the worst,” Wonshik explained, as he examined the unconscious woman’s hands.

Jaehwan uncuffed her, fluttering his eyes. “Aren’t you relieved, Sooyeonie?”

She rotated her fists.  “Yeah, I am! Especially since I can do this!” She thumped them both on their heads, smirking at their whines. “Quit whining and take both of us home!”

[squirrelly831]

Proposal [Wonshik, Hongbin, and Sanghyuk]

Enjoy~

Wonshik

Wonshik could do a lot of things, but trying to plan the perfect way to propose to his girlfriend, Deja, was not one of those things. He recruited the members of VIXX to help him plan and execute the perfect proposal. Each member was given a task and Wonshik’s was to go ring hunting with Deja’s best friend and his band member, Hongbin. He was also in charge of the song writing and composing just for him to play the day of the proposal.

As the day approached, Wonshik felt a gnawing fear begin to surface. What is Deja said no? What if she gets scared of the sudden proposal and breaks it off and his heart along with it? What if she realizes she deserved better than he could ever offer? It was ultimately a heart-to-heart with Hakyeon and Hongbin that eventually helped his bound nerves relax.

It was the big day and Wonshik spent it out and about with Deja. He took her to spots where they first met, where he first asked her out, to the time he chased after her after an argument, and more. They reminisced, their intertwined finger never once parting as they walked the areas. He lead her through Seoul as the day carried on as if they were just on another date.

That evening, they went home to dress up in formal attire. When Wonshik saw Deja begin down the stairs of their shared home, he couldn’t stop staring.

Her dress, hand picked by Hakyeon and Jaehwan, fit her like a glove. Deja did up her hair in an intricate bun. She wore the diamond earrings and necklace that Hyuk picked out for her that would match her engagement ring. She grew nervous under his gaze and she shifted in her spot, “Is it not good?”

Wonshik shook his head, “No… You look phenomenal. I forgot how to breathe for a second there.”

She flashed him one of her bright smiles as she reached up to brush her imaginary hair back, “You don’t look too bad yourself.”

Wonshik held out his arm and she looped hers with his as he led her out to the car. Taekwoon was in charge of the driving as Wonshik didn’t want anything to be ruined for this night.

At the restaurant, the two clicked drinks, “Do you like this place?”

Deja took a sip of her wine, “It’s beautiful here.” She looked around, “I’ve never been somewhere this fancy. I feel so out of place.”

“Your beauty outshines this place any day” he complimented and earned a blush from her.

Deja let out a breath, “What on earth did I do to deserve such amazing treatment? I feel like a queen.” She let out a low giggle.

“You’re my queen. You only deserve the best.”

Deja stared at him, “You always had such a way with words.”

He reached over and took her hand in her, “Only when it comes to you.” The music that played in the background changed, the volume was louder than the previous song, and the people around them fell quiet as they looked around curiously. “ Deja, you know I love everything about you.”

“I know… Otherwise I’d definitely have to question what we’ve been doing these last several years together” she smiled. Her ears perked when Wonshik’s voice played over the speakers. She knew his rap anywhere even when it sounded as smooth and emotional as the song, “What song is this? I’ve never heard it…” She was surprised. Deja was pretty well informed with all of Wonshik’s songs.

Wonshik chuckled, “It’s new. It’s called The Proposal.” Her lipped parted slightly as she mouthed oh not thinking a thing of it. “We’ve been through a lot in four years and I couldn’t ask for a better half than you. I always worry you’ll find better and leave me. Or you’ll get sick of waiting around for me” Deja frowned at his word and was about to protest, but he shook his head. “Maybe there is someone better for you than me. Even if that were the case, I would fight for you to prove just how much we belong together.”

Deja didn’t understand where he was getting at until she watched him pull out a ring box from his suit pocket. “Wonshik…”

Wonshik moved off his chair and knelt beside Deja. He opened the box and she let out a gasped when she saw the beautiful ring, “Will you marry me?”

“Yes…” She replied breathlessly, “Is that even a real question?” She sniffled. She watched Wonshik slip the ring on her finger. Deja jumped from her seat just as Wonshik stood and hugged him tightly. “I love you.”

“I love you more, my queen.” The song continued to play in the background as the guests around them applauded them. She pulled away and Wonshik wiped her tears, “You gotta stop crying soon or your make up will get messed up. We haven’t even had desert.”

She let out a sniffled laugh, “Who’s fault do you think it is that I’m like this.” He pressed his lips to her in a loving kiss uncaring of all those who watched.

Hongbin

Hongbin bought the engagement ring, but he had no plans when he would propose to her. He knew it would be sometime soon, so he kept it hidden in his nightstand in their shared home. He didn’t want to do something too crazy as it was something that his girlfriend, Hyemin, had talked about. They had discussed marriage and ideal proposals where it came up that Hyemin wanted something lax. She didn’t want something public or over and above.

He was home back from tour. He was relaxing in the living room with Hyemin after she made them breakfast. She was in his arms and he combed his fingers through her hair. “Hey love?” She looked back at him with her hands curled around her coffee mug. “You want to head out to the park or something? Just to get out of the house for a bit?”

Hyemin smiled into the coffee before she pulled it back, “Can I wear one of your shirts?”

He took the mug from her hands and pecked her lips, “Wear whatever you like. Minus the things I need to clean.” When he broke the quick kiss, she gave him another quick kiss and got up. “Can you get my wallet?” He called out to her. He hadn’t planned to change out of the sweats and sweater, so he hung around in the living room.

“Sure!” She rummaged through his dresser and his side of the closet to find a pair of sweats and a sweater. After she got changed, she looked for his wallet. She didn’t see it on his nightstand, so she opened the drawer where she found his walled and the ring box. Hyemin took out the wallet and the ring box curiously. “Hey babe?”

“Yea?”

She walked in with the ring box in her hand, “What’s this for?”

He laughed as he waved her over as he figured he might as well just get the proposal over with. Hongbin pulled Hyemin on his lap as he hugged her and took the ring box. “I was planning to eventually ask you to marry me. Guess now is the perfect time, huh?” Hyemin stared down at the ring box speechless as he opened the ring box and took out the ring. “Will you marry me?” He whispered in her ear.

She smiled widely as she nodded and she watched him slip the ring on her finger, “I love you, Hongbin.”

Hongbin kissed her temple and took her chin in his fingers. He turned her head and gave her a kiss, “I love you too.”

Hyemin got up nearly jumping in her spot, “Now, fiance, let’s go for a walk!”

Hongbin grinned and stood up. “Let’s go” he intertwined his fingers with hers and lead her out after they slipped on their shoes. Even during the walk, Hyemin’s  eyes were trained on her engagement ring which only made Hongbin smile more.

Sanghyuk

Hyuk and Chaeyeon went public three years into their five year relationship. It wasn’t abnormal for many of his interviews to stray to Chaeyeon and their relationship. Many by the fourth year focused on them settling and getting married which Hyuk openly expressed his desire to eventually marry Chaeyeon. By year five, he felt more motivated than ever to marry Chaeyeon. She was the only one he wanted to be with, the only one he needed to be with. Since the fans knew about her, he wanted to make it public, but also leave it more intimate as he knew Chaeyeon would freeze on the spot with all the attention on her.

He was graced by lady luck as he was offered an interview on a radio station and he refused to pass it up. It was a perfect plan. He could propose in a public setting, still maintain an intimate surrounding, and get a fiancee out of it without having to do a lot of setting up.

Chaeyeon was with the techs and Hakyeon, who insisted on accompanying them to the studio, while the host and Hyuk sat beside each other. Hyuk answered many questions before the music cut in and the host told him about the second round of questions… the questions solely focused on his relationship with Chaeyeon. His eyes fluttered up and looked through the glass at Chaeyeon who was wide eyed in wonder as the techs explained the equipment. Hyuk watched her lovingly as he let out a soft chuckle and he shook his head. He looked at Hakyeon, he gave Hyuk a thumbs up, and flashed the ring box before he stashed it back in his pocket.

Hyuk was nearing the end of the questioning when the host asked the last question, “Our final question for you Hyuk… The fans want to know, when are you tying the knot?”

Hyuk shrugged, “I’m not sure. I have to propose first.”

The two laughed, “Do you have a plan? Will you plan something special?”

“I would do something over the top, but Chaeyeon has never been one to be the center of attention” he looked up at Chaeyeon who formed her hands into a heart near her chest. He smiled, “But, I do have a plan and she’ll already know it’s coming.”

“Oh how so?”

“There is only one song from my group that she loves called Heaven. I plan to play it so she knows I’m going to ask her to marry me” the host cooed. “She hates surprises, so I have to make sure I plan it out perfectly. I can’t startle her too much, you know?” Chaeyeon rolled her eyes at his words.

The host clapped his hands together, “Is there a song you want to play for the fans before you leave, Hyuk?”

Hyuk nodded as he looked for the track on the computer, “Yea, this one. Hope you guys enjoy it!” The DJ chuckled when he saw the track and he played it.

Before the song played, Hakyeon held out the ring box to Chaeyeon and she took it hesitantly. Then seconds later, Hakyeon pulled out his phone and stepped back to record. She looked around in confusion as the techs ushered her to open it. The song Hyuk spoke of, Heaven, echoed in the studio. Her eyes blurred as she pressed her knuckles under her nose.

Hyuk walked up to her and took the box from her hands, “You haven’t even opened it and you’re already crying.” He flipped the lid to show a glistening ring. “Making you happy has brought me more joy than I thought possible. I want to spend the rest of my life bringing a smile to your face. Choi Chaeyeon, will you do me the honors of becoming my wife?”

“Yes… YES! Of course!” She cried. He laughed at her three answers and slipped the ring on her finger. She threw her arms around him, “I love you, Sanghyuk.”

His hands tightened around her back, “I love you, Chaeyeon.”

Breathe

Series: VIXX 7th Member AU

Pairing: Jisu/VIXX; Jisu/Key

2021

             “Just breathe.”

             Jisu’s head snaps toward Hongbin who gives her a smirk. “Is that a fucking joke?”

             “Yes.”

             She rolls her eyes, apologizing to the makeup artist for moving so suddenly while they were trying to work. Part of her is screaming that she doesn’t belong in this world anymore. The stylists, the makeup artists, the backup dancers. All of it makes her feel like an imposter. This hasn’t been her life for almost three years now, yet here she stands backstage, surrounded by junior and senior artists also getting ready to perform their new songs. The only audience Jisu has sang for in the past few years has been her husband and baby. Both of whom are not with her.

             ���Jisu.” Leo approaches her, putting a hand on her shoulder in an attempt at comfort. He keeps his voice soothing and kind. “Relax.”

             “How did you get so wise?” Her response is snarky, but would it be Jisu if it wasn’t?

             “We’re all here for you. Everything is going to go great. You’ll sing, win first place, and get to go home and tell your husband all about it.”

             “I wish Wonshik was here.”

             “We all do,” N replies. “I’m sure he’ll make everyone in his squad watch your performance though.”

             Enlistment is a pain in the ass, Jisu thinks. She doesn’t bother saying it out loud. She knows they’re all thinking the same thing anyway.

             “Jisu!” One of the PDs calls her over. “You’re up next!”

             “Knock ‘em dead,” Hongbin calls out.

             She gives him a thumbs up before taking her mic from her manager and heading to the stage. As she positions herself while the lights are turned down, she can’t help but feel a sudden rush of adrenaline. Maybe this is where she belongs after all. The crowd, the fans, her starlights, they’re chanting her name so loudly she can hear them over her ear piece only to fall silent as the music starts up. The second the first piano notes float through the air, soft and beautiful as the artist who wrote them, the room quiets immediately. Jisu is nervous. It’s never been like this before. Not for her.

             As the song reaches the chorus, the fans voices rise to meet her own, singing along with her. Jisu chokes up slightly, voice breaking on a note. If anyone notices it’s not pointed out. Not as she finishes the song, not as she waits with the other artists on stage to see who received the most votes, and certainly not when she’s handed a bouquet of red roses for winning first place. Jisu didn’t think she would cry, but with everyone cheering and congratulating her she can’t help it. Never in a million years, and in all the planning for her comeback, did she anticipate all the love spilling out around her now.

             The stage lights glint of the diamond ring on her finger, catching her attention, pulling her mind towards Key. Towards their daughter. Towards home.

             “You looked beautiful,” Key tells her the second she walks through the door.

             She wraps her arms around his neck, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “Tell me more.”

             “Everyone was jealous when you won.”

             “You’re wrong.”

             Key laughs, pressing his forehead to hers. “Oh?”

             Jisu nods. “I didn’t win today. I won way before that.”

             “Babe, stop. You know I’m lactose intolerant.”

             “Fine! See if I ever try to be sweet to you again.”

             “The day you stop being a giant pain in my ass is the day I know you’re love for me is gone.” He pulls her back to him when she tries to move away. “You did look beautiful though. Ailee was completely hypnotized.”

             Jisu looks around the living room. “Where is she?”

             “Sleeping. I am capable of being a responsible father while you’re working, ya know.”

             “I can’t imagine a better father. You even give mine a run for his money.”

             He laughs nervously. “Don’t say that around him. Please.”

             “Aww, don’t you have a death wish?”

             “Not when I have a reason to really keep living.”

             Jisu’s throat goes a little dry. The conversation is getting a bit heavy for her liking. “Let’s not go there. Not tonight.”

             “Okay. Have you eaten?”

             When she shakes her head, Key laces his fingers between hers and tugs her towards the kitchen. Without a word he starts preparing dinner for her, working diligently and with more concentration than Jisu has ever seen on his face.

             “I’ve been thinking,” he eventually says as he pours her a glass of wine.

             “About?”

             “Us. Ailee. Everything.” Key leans against the cool marble of the kitchen counter. “How do you see our family in the future?”

             Jisu bites her bottom lip, a nervous habit she picked up from Hongbin years ago. She knows exactly what she wants her future to look like, but the fear that Key won’t want the same or they’ll disagree on important things creeps up on her. She doesn’t want to still be in Seoul, living in some flashy apartment. She wants a home. Somewhere with space for her children to grow and run and have fun. Most importantly… she wants more children. Jisu wants a little boy that looks and acts just like his father. She wants another little girl that Ailee can play with and protect.

             “Be honest,” he reminds her gently.

             “Eventually… eventually I want more children. I want to move away from Seoul and live somewhere like Cheongsando Island where our kids can have all the room they want. I don’t…”

             “You don’t what?”

             “I don’t want to be an idol forever. I want a quiet, simple, happy life. Today made me realize that in a strange, roundabout way. Performing felt amazing, but the whole time I was just thinking about coming back to you and Ailee.” Jisu isn’t sure where that leaves her as far as VIXX is concerned. She doesn’t want to leave but at the same time…

             “We’ll figure it out.” Key takes her hand, stroking his thumb over her knuckles. He toys with her ring absentmindedly and watches the way the stone catches the light. “We’ll make it work.”

             “I know.”

             Key leans in and presses his mouth against her, lips colliding almost desperately. “I love you. So much.”

ON THREE, QUIETLY II Cha Hakyeon II Part 4

On Three, Quietly // Cha Hakyeon // Part 4

VIXX: N

Pairing : N x Reader

Genre : Fluff, Angst, Humor, Romance

Words :  1.5k+

Summary : Trouble comes and goes for every idol. At times its best to combat it with a well minded publicist. VIXX though, hate their new publicists. She’s bossy, nosey, and seems to care more about her paycheck than them. Her only goal is to prove them wrong. Their goal is for Hakyeon to seduce her into leaving.

(A/N)This story is another huge ass thank you to all of my followers.

Part 4

He had a huge problem. One he hadn’t ever imagined happening. He was in control of his life. He didn’t have time to develop feelings for anyone. It just wasn’t in the cards for him at this time. He had the group to lead. Fans to make happy. Parents to care for. Not to mention his upcoming military enlistment. 

But yet.

You stubbornly wouldn’t leave his mind. 

For the last 3 months that you had been with them, every day his thoughts consisted of you. On days you didn’t see them, his thoughts were of visiting your office. Taking time out of his schedule to annoy you, bother you, talk to you.

Anything for attention from you. He found himself becoming protective when the boys would tease you. Quickly coming to hate the plans he and the others had made. You’d become his drive, in such a sneaky way that he had barely noticed it.

He wanted it to annoy him.

He wanted to push it back and pretend it wasn’t happening.

But it had, and he was powerless to fight it.

He’d fallen in love with you.

And he feared you learning of his plans to use your feelings for revenge.

He didn’t even know if you felt similarly.

He hoped...no he prayed that you felt the same.

In the end of all of this.

From the beginning of planning for you to fail and leave them.

To getting to know your true character.

It was him that had fallen. If she finds out too soon...I’ll never have a chance with her.

But if she finds out after she’ll leave me.

Honestly, I’m fucked.

Either way I lose.

I’m stupid.

I’m so freaking stupid.

Why did I do this to myself?

Have I always had this little of self control? 

I’m stupid.

I’m stupid.

This is dumb.

I’m stupid.

Hakyeon punctuated his last thoughts with a groan, throwing his head back against the couch. 

He was pulled from these thoughts as Jaehwan threw himself into his lap. “What’s up with you? Looking all sad and stupid?” 

He lifted his hand in a simple unconscious move to slap the younger dumb boy.

“Come on. Cheer up,” he jeered, reaching forward to push Hakyeon’s lips into a false smile. “Look alive. Look cute. (Y/N)’s left us alone all week.” 

And that’s why I’m sad!!

...I miss my bossy girl. 

The other boys sat on the couches around him, settling in before looking over to him. “So, what next to get rid of little mama,” Hyuk asked while draping his legs over Hongbin’s. 

Hakyeon sighed, pushing Jaehwan off him as he leaned forward to rest his head in his hands. “I think, I think I’m in love with her.” 

Silence.

And then…

Laughter.

Hakyeon’s eyes flashed over to Taekwoon. Eyebrows furrowing into a deep glare. “And what the hell is so fucking funny?” 

Taekwoon quieted, wiping the little tears from his eyes. “Sorry, nervous reaction. I wasn’t sure how to react so I just started laughing. Not laughing at you. Laughing at the situation. And also the implication that Woon will bury you..” 

Hakyeon gulped at the thought of giant Woon above him as he gently shovels dirt over his body. He groaned loudly, vigorously rubbing his hands over his eyes. “What do I do? What if she doesn’t like me?” 

“I guess we’re giving up on the plan.” Hongbin mumbled to himself. 

“Of course we’re giving up on the plan! She’s proven she’s good at her job! She’s fixed everything for us!” Wonshik crowed proudly.  

“She’s still bossy and annoying.” Hyuk whined. “I tried to go out with some friends and she made me go to bed.”

Hakyeon rolled his eyes at the younger man. “She made you go to bed because it was 2 in the morning and you were drunk.” 

“Poor (Y/N), she’s always having to come in the middle of the night.” Taekwoon interjected, looking genuinely apologetic.

Wonshik’s entire face lit up, “We should set up a room for her here. So if she has to come in at 2 am she can just sleep over.”

“I volunteer Hakyeon’s bed” Hongbin snickered. 

He smirked, “While I’m fine with that, how about we just be a little nicer to her?”

Jaehwan seemed to be withdrawing from the conversation, guiltily refusing to look the others in the eyes. 

Hakyeon’s own gaze rolled, knowing the younger boy was guilty of something and the loud scream of frustration from the office down the hall confirmed it.

***“

Just breath, calm down, and breath. Use your soothing words.” Woon encouraged, moving his hands up and down in a calming fashion. “Lee Jong Suk. Kim WooBin. Ji Chang Wook. Dong Yong Bae. Choi Seung Hyun. Come on (Y/N) say them with me or you won’t feel any better.” 

Flames licked at your skin, burnishing your complexion with a reddening hue. “Soothing words aren’t going to help me!!! I’m going to kill one of them! I don’t care which one! They were all behind this. WHERE ARE THEY!” Your voice was raw, hurting your throat as you forcefully screamed the words.

You strained to pull away from Minhee’s grasp but her arms around your arms and waist were like a vise, locked tight. A “calming hug” she’d called it. An annoying amount of affection.

Hakyeon pushed his way into the office. Moving to stand in front of you he placed his hands upon your shoulders, looking you over for any injury. “I heard you scream, are you okay?” 

“Dude, bad idea. She’s not in the mood to be touched.” Minhee warned, using her hold on you to pull you back from him. 

“You’re touching me.” You sneered, again pulling from her hold.

She cuddled into you closer, smiling, “I’m giving you a calming love hug.” 

“Calming words, (Y/N), don’t forget your calming words. Ji Chang Wook. Kim Woo Bin.” Woon began again. 

“Ji Chang Wook...Ji Chang Wook...JI CHANG WOOK WOULDN’T HIRE AN ACTOR TO STAND OUTSIDE MY WINDOW LIKE A MONSTER ALL NIGHT!!!! I thought I was going to die! What if he had been shady? What if he had used the opportunity to hurt me! Do you hate me so much that you’d put me in a situation like that? What is wrong with you?” The words hurt to be spoken, ripping at your sore throat.

You’d screamed repeatedly that night, each and every time the actor knocked on your windows, doors, every time you saw him, harming your vocal chords. You’d whimpered while hiding in the back of your closet, terrified that the situation was real. Waiting, and praying the police would arrive before something horrible happened. And then, arriving at work, to find your desktop had been changed to a picture of the actor...it was like experiencing the entire situation all over again. 

The other boys had gathered outside the door, along with a few members of your team. They peered in with concern. Very rarely had they seen your professionalism break.

“I’m sorry…” Jaehwan’s admittance of guilt was quiet, nearly unheard to you. “I hired him. He was only supposed to stand outside your window for a few minutes. I only asked him to scare you. I didn’t think he’d go that far.” 

Tears filled your eyes, exhaustion fully settling in. Knees buckling you’d relaxed into Minhee’s hold. They’d thoroughly exhausted you. You’d foolishly assumed that you had finally won their trust and respect.How stupid I’d been.

No matter how hard I work.

No matter how much I do.

I will always be a joke to them. It pained you to look at Hakyeon. Wishing he didn’t need to be a part of this. You’d felt yourself growing close to him. Enjoying the times he’d come to visit you. Lapping up the attention he’d give you. You’d come up with excuse after excuse to insert yourself into his schedule, just for a chance of a few minutes with him. He’d quickly become something to depend on and adore. And you were a joke. 

A sigh left your lips. “You guys seriously suck.”

Hakyeon took your hand in his own, rubbing his thumb across the top of it. “I’m sorry I let this happen. He didn’t mean any harm by it. Please forgive him.”

Exasperated, you tossed your hands into the air before walking towards the door to your office.I’m getting a hotel room.

I’m moving out of that damn house.

I’m never telling anyone where I live.

And I’m never talking to Jaehwan again.Pulling your phone from your pocket, you sent out a quick email to your staff, announcing that Minhee and Woon would be in charge for the next week as you were going on vacation. 

“I’m taking a vacation. I do not want to be bothered by ANYONE. I will not be staying at my house. I will not be available for contact. If there are any problems, Minhee and Woon will handle it. Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear.” The final words were punctuated while looking directly at the 6 boys that had become the bane of your existence. 

They nodded guiltily as Hakyeon watched you with an expression that you couldn’t place, and currently, you didn’t care to.

[fanfictionfrom-nonfan]

Pinky (Part 1/2)

“Stop being such a brat, she’ll only be here for a little while. At least until the shelter comes and collects her.” Hakyeon chided the youngest member of his pack. “I’ve arranged it with the shelter, they are coming in three working days’ time, most likely in the afternoon,” Taekwoon voiced from behind and made his way to the, well to put it simply, the mutt lying on a couple of towels, courtesy of Jaehwan, in the middle of their living room and cooed, “Come on, let’s go get you cleaned up.” 

Sanghyuk pulled a face and threw his body onto the ground. “She’s going to be so much trouble!” “You’re more trouble.” Came Taekwoon’s snarky reply all the way from their shared bathroom. “She’s just a little girl, how much trouble can she cause.” Hakyeon prodded his outstretched leg with his own and left the sulking teenager to his own devices to oversee Taekwoon and their guest.

Pinky was her new name, upon Taekwoon’s insistence. Because she was a girl and she had a pink spot on her black nose. “But that’s sexist.” Cried Wonshik, So Pinky it was, and their opinions were all invalid. “No, it’s a black spot on a pink nose!” Ken defended. Since Wonshik was deemed dangerous to sleep with due to his erratic sleep-induced movement and Taekwoon didn’t think that Pinky should room with the devil that is Sanghyuk, their shared room immediately fell out of the running for ‘Pinky’s Bedroom’. Hongbin also felt that a small room with four long-limbed grown men wasn’t the best place for a fragile pup either so Taekwoon volunteered to sleep in the living room with her until the shelter comes to take her. 

She was brought back to the dormitory by Taekwoon, wrapped up in his own jacket and half starved. Her short coat of brown and white hairs were terribly matted and she was covered in filth. Her left ear bore a tear, probably the work of an accident that occurred without proper care after. Nearby, the carcass of a larger dog that looked strikingly similar to Pinky, lay, swamped with rats. Poor Pinky, was crouched in a corner, weakly barking to fend off any of the larger rats that had tried to attack her, or at least that was the story Taekwoon had fed the members when he came home with a mongrel in his arms. 

“Your story doesn’t add up. How could you see that the dead dog looked like Pinky when she was being eaten by rats?” Sanghyuk questioned.

“I just could.” The elder replied stiffly. 

Hongbin and Jaehwan had been sent to buy necessities for Pinky and they came back with more than what they actually needed for three days. “Who asked you to buy a kilogram of food? She’s going to be here for three days.” Hakyeon stared at their purchases incredulously. “Yeah but we figured-“, Ken started, “No you mean you figured.” Hongbin sighed. “Yeah okay, same difference. We figured that Pinky must be so starved that she would need a lot of food.” 

“Then how about all these toys and this fancy bed?” Hakyeon’s eyes widened when he saw the packages toys and treats that were hidden inside a folded up dog bed that felt way more comfortable than the mattresses they were using.

“They were all discount items, I swear! Taekwoon said go buy something nice for her!” 

Hongbin tries to forget that he had a part in the shopping too. 

  After dinner time, the first accident happens and it dawns on the boys, what Sanghyuk meant by trouble. They soon learnt that Pinky was definitely a stray and that strays were not toilet trained and that meant that she did not understand that she should have done her business on the pink pee tray that Jaehwan had laid out by the entrance of their communal bathroom and not by Wonshik’s weights.

“Well? Clean it!” Sanghyuk eyed Hongbin who in turn looks at Jaehwan who was glancing around, trying to find another living thing to make eye contact with. “I can’t believe you guys didn’t see this coming.” 

“Should we wait for Taekwoon and Hakyeon to come home-“, Jaehwan picks up his phone, wanting to call the two older boys about their messy situation. 

“No, I’ll clean it. The house will smell if we wait for them. It’s just two tiny turds and the smallest puddle of pee I’ve ever seen.” Hongbin sighs. 

Sanghyuk crouched down to Pinky with angry eyes and pointed to the mess she made. “You shouldn’t pee and poop around the house. Bad dog!” Scooping her up, he brought her to the pee tray and pointed to it. “You do things here!” 

“Stop that, she can’t understand you.” Jaehwan watches the younger worriedly. 

“They said dogs were smart.” Sanghyuk grunted in response and looked down at Pinky. She simply stared back at him with a pair of large eyes, full of innocence. “Stop looking at me like that.” 

The next day, Hakyeon was out since the early morning, barely hours after he came home late from his radio schedule, Hongbin was off to emcee another music program, Taekwoon and Jaehwan were at their musical rehearsals and Wonshik was in his work studio, leaving Sanghyuk alone at home. With Pinky. 

“Stop following me around, I don’t like you.” He sighed, pushing the puppy away with his foot when she approached him for the hundredth time that morning as he walked to the kitchen to get a drink. “I really don’t like you. All the other guys treat you like some princess but you’re really ugly you know.” He turns away from her and going back to his room, shutting the door behind him. 

He reappeared in front of her again at noon and she greeted him enthusiastically, waving her mangled tail and for a second, he found that sort of cute in a weird way and rewards her with a small smile but it doesn’t last for long when he saw the mess she created in the living room and the other bedroom that housed all the other boys, sans Wonshik. There were ripped up paper all over the living room floor and a chewed up shoe which belonged to him, torn clothes that were obviously pulled off the drying rack, socks strewn all over, and in the bedroom, pee over their blankets. 

“You!” Sanghyuk glared, pointed a finger at Pinky as she crouched to the ground guiltily. “You really love making life difficult for me don’t you. The others are going to be mad at me. They’re never mad at you.” He muttered bitterly. “I hate this stupid dog. Stupid Taekwoon and his stupid rescues. You know what? I hope no one adopts you at the shelter and they put you to sleep!” 

Without any suspense, he received a good nag from Hakyeon and Pinky only got more cuddles from Taekwoon. 

That night, he felt something warm burrow it’s way next to him from under his blankets. In shock, he yelped and shoved the thing and it hit a pile of bags and whimpered. Whimpered? He squinted into the darkness and realised that it was Pinky. She had crept in through the crack he had left in case it got too stuffy. “Pinky? Aren’t you supposed to be out there with Taek?” he mumbled, half asleep but he was too tired to think. 

In the morning, he woke up to the feeling of a little tongue licking his eyelids and the sounds of panic from the living room with the faint, “Pinky’s gone missing!” With an arm over his eyes, he opened them to find Pinky right in front of his face, giving him a wet good morning. “Ugh, now I need to cleanse my eyes..”

“Hyuk! Wake up! Pinky is- oh.” The Hakyeon’s aditation quickly faded into realisation. “Hey, Taekwoon, no need to call the cops, she’s in Hyuk’s room.” 

“The cops? Seriously? For this stupid dog that no one wants?” he rolled his eyes. “Don’t be rude, kid.” Taekwoon appears at his door frame. “What is she doing in your room, I though you didn’t like Pinky.” 

“How do I know? She came here herself.”

“Anyway, we need you to do something for us. We all have work today except you so we’ve left you some money. If it’s not enough we’ll give you some more when we get back. We can’t believe this slipped out mind but could you take her to the vet?” Hakyeon asked. 

“The vet?” Sanghyuk stared at him.

“Yes, the vet. We should have brought her there at the start but it slipped our minds and we were too busy but no excuse, of course.”

“The vet. For what? She’ll be gone by tomorrow afternoon anyway.” He shook his head in protest, throwing his blanket off and standing up, with Pinky clamouring at his feet, excited for him to be up. 

“Hey, Han Sanghyuk. We took her off the streets. That means we have a responsibility over her life now. If anything is wrong with her, we need to know. I would go there myself but I cannot pass on my commitments. I don’t care how much you dislike her, the five of us have already decided to care for her like she was ours until she leaves and you’re on our team so you play your part regardless of your feelings towards her although I don’t see how anybody can hate Pinky. You’re going to go and I want to see the doctor’s report.” 

Taekwoon had the last word and that was final. 

“She’s about five months old, no microchip, most of her injuries have healed but you can see on the x-ray that she has a small growth around her left front limb from a fracture that healed on its own. She’s a tough girl.” The vet smiled at Pinky and then to him. “She has a few skin problems but nothing serious, it’ll go away in time. Her ears have ear mites but I’ll give you some pyrethrin for that. Other than that, she’s good!” he sighs in relief because if anything was wrong with Pinky, the other guys would definitely have problems with letting her go.

The cashier calls for Pinky and he pays, silently gagging at the costs of a mere check-up and some cream for a puny dog and heads home, hoping that one of them would be around because he has no idea what to do with her. 

“Hey Pinky. You won’t see me again tomorrow. Will you miss me? I’ve been pretty awful to you, I’m sure you won’t miss me.” He pulls her onto his lap and shakes the bottle of ear cleaner as per the instructions. She sniffs at the bottle curiously. He lifts her good ear and peers inside her ear hole and grimaces. “Pinky, your ears are really gross. I need to get paid for doing this.” He brings the ear cleaner close to her ear and she yelps, scaring Sanghyuk. 

“You brat... “ 

 There’s a glint in his eye as Pinky dashes across the room, heading for the pile of dirty laundry behind the kitchen. 

“Pinky and I are friends now.” He announces when everyone is home and exhausted. “She didn’t let me clean her ears with the medicine and we played hide and seek for hours but finally I caught her and she’s good now.” He grins proudly. He has a hand on Pinky’s belly and he’s giving her tummy scratches as if he never had a bone to pick with her but the others were too tired to notice. Wonshik was already asleep in the room, Jaehwan and Hongbin were having their supper and Hakyeon was busy memorising his lines in his bedroom. 

“What did the doctor say?” Taekwoon asks tiredly from his position on the living room floor. 

He hands over the doctor’s report. 

“That’s good, I guess tomorrow, she’ll leave us.” Taekwoon looks a little heartbroken when Pinky goes up to him and places her paws on his knee. “I don’t know if it’s a good thing that Hakyeon and I won’t be around to see her go.”

“Yeah.”

“Be good to her before she leaves our home.”

“Okay.”

“I told you to secure him properly, he’s a slippery bastard with too much information on us!” Hongbin exclaimed, letting off a string of profanities at the two men before him. “How did this happen?!”

Jaehwan glanced at his comrade, Wonshik returning the gesture before both looked ahead, their guilty expressions the only thing they offered up to their boss. Hongbin kicked them both in the leg, grumbling that if he wanted something done right, he should have done it himself. After Hongbin left, Jaehwan slumped against the wall, shooting an accusing finger in the direction of Wonshik. “This is your fault!”

“Mine?!” he echoed, shaking his head repeatedly. “I told you to watch him. That Hyuk kid is more clever than he looks!”

“He seemed nice!” Jaehwan admitted with a pout, rubbing his neck awkwardly. Perhaps he should shoulder more of the blame. “He told me that he was going to teach me all about the way he cracks open the safes he robs.”

“And you believed him?!”

“It was you who decided to leave me alone with him so you could eat!”

Wonshik groaned. “I was hungry and I didn’t think a suspect who was securely cuffed would escape!”

“I was hungry too, you didn’t even think about me!” Jaehwan wailed and folded his arms across his chest petulantly. 

“Are you both done?” the other voice in the room finally questioned, quiet yet authoritative. Taekwoon sighed heavily. “Idiots, I’m surrounded by them. I wish Hakyeon was here. Then I wouldn’t be left on baby-sitting duties all the time.”

Both men sneered at the remark, and Taekwoon rolled his eyes, getting up. “Well, are you just going to sit there? Hyuk can’t have gotten too far. If one of you catch him before Hongbin does, he’ll probably reward you.”

The two men looked at each other before rushing for the door, grappling to open it before the other. When they were out of the room, Taekwoon smirked, pulling out his phone and sending a text message to who he truly worked with.

“Nice work for once, Hyuk.”

But it only takes a captivating stranger who approaches him at said bar to change absolutely everything. And god, Cha Hakyeon might just be the best thing he’s ever tasted.

(Heavily inspired by the lyrics of ‘Love Me Do’.)

It has been a round filled with learning experiences since this was the first time we were running a fic fest and this has given us the knowdleged on how to run things better on the next round. Ups and downs and life happened but we are glad that this will help us in the future ^^

With this message we are drawing the first round of Say U Say Bin to a close-however, we aren't going to disappear until next round because a Prompt adoption post will be open so be on the lookout for that.

With all our love we must say: Thank you for being with us! See you guys soon

Variety is the Spice of Life [VIXX, Hongbin]

AU - Fanboys!AU Genre - Fluff/Comedy Warnings - None

Word Count - 2290

Summary - In which Hongbin meets his bias and ‘Hormoneys’ unite.

This work is a part of the  Glowsticks And Music Notes series by @vixxscifiwritings​ . I had been asked to write this part for her as a part of an agreement that I don’t entirely remember the details of ( a.k.a she loves Hongbin too much to write about him)

Find all parts here

Hongbin grumbled as he shoved the cafe door open. He had been in the middle of editing a mood-board when his sister had intruded with her boyfriend and had promptly thrown him out of the house in the need for “privacy”. Not that he really wanted to hear what would take place after his exit.

He adjusted the strap of his backpack when he heard the bell jingle as the door slammed shut. Still fuming about his interrupted editing session, he looked around the cafe for a seat which was isolated enough to not be disrupted again. Jaehwan had requested a mood-board for Ara and Bora inspired by one of Wonshik’s angsty fics. Plus he had been working on a gif set for the new release (secretly spending time on perfecting Miya’s gif, not that he would admit it). Of course he had also said he’d help Sanghyuk who had recently joined the fandom with some video editing. Hongbin sighed, being technologically sound had its downfalls.

“Welcome! Would you like to place an order?” he heard a voice calling to him, breaking him out of his stupor as his searching eyes shifted to the counter. He gawked as his gaze fixed themselves on the woman standing behind the cash machine. His bias, Miya smiled back at him brightly, he was sure he choked a little bit on his saliva.

Miya tilted her head, looking at the new entrant gaping at her, completely unaware of the cameras trained on him. He was handsome, nearly looking unreal, she was certain this part would be broadcast. She could hear Haneul’s voice in the little earpiece wedged in her ear squeal about how handsome he was.

“Our youngest has gotten such a handsome customer!”

“Makes sense, visual meets another visual,” Ara’s voice crackled “make him say that you’re pretty.”

“That’s a good mission, yes.” Minah’s voice piped up as Miya tried her best to fight the embarrassed blush from creeping up her cheeks.

“Yeah, if he says it, you need to do the key point from Summer Love.” Bora called out. The rest of her group had been monitoring her every move, giving her missions for their variety show. Right before her shift in the cafe, Bora had been sent down to serenade a group of high school boys and dance for a pair of old ladies. But here she was, face to face with this very handsome man who seemed to be gawking right back at her, not making a move to place an order.

“Sir?” she called as he balked, blinking before approaching the counter. He looked a little bit like a lost bunny rabbit and Miya couldn’t help but smile to herself. Shuffling awkwardly, Hongbin tried to form the right words to tell his bias. This was exactly why he had avoided going for fan meets, because he knew the moment he saw Miya in person, all logical ability of speech was out of the window.

“I’ll uh...have uh…” Hongbin frantically looked at the menu.

“Hmmm, are you a tea or coffee person? Maybe I could suggest something for you?”  Miya offered helpfully, wondering if there was some way to make the man speak.

“Uh, I’m so sorry about this... I don’t mind either? I’ll just have a cappuccino please.” he sighed out, internally pleased that he managed to get a sentence out. Miya smiled, he had a pleasant voice.

“Would you like some cake or pastry with that? I’d highly recommend the fruit tart.” Miya rattled off just like she had been asked to. Hongbin paused to consider it.

“Yes, I would like a fruit tart as well.”

“Okay! One cappuccino and fruit tart for the handsome customer!” Miya chirped, trying her best not to cringe at how honest she was being  as Hongbin’s breath caught in his throat. He reached to his arm to pinch himself to make sure that this wasn’t a dream. Clearing his throat, he could feel his cheeks flush. Miya tried to ignore the teasing hoots from her group loud in her earpiece.

“I’m....” Hongbin fumbled for words “a Harmony!”

Miya’s eyes widened as the cheering in her ear piece resounded. Harmony was the name of their fanbase and it was a pleasant surprise to find a fan entering the cafe. Hongbin twiddled his thumbs nervously. Miya’s confidence was now boosted. Handsome man was a fan and she could definitely use this to her advantage.

“Oh! That’s fantastic! Who is your favourite member?” She asked, ringing up his order, sending him a blinding smile. Hongbin could feel his pulse pick up as he stammered. Here he was standing in a cafe he visited regularly having his bias taking his order while casually asking him who his bias was.

“It’s…you…” he mumbled and Miya could feel her attempts to ask him who he thinks is the prettiest being thwarted “you’re very pretty and talented.” Miya could barely hear him over Haneul and Minah screeching into the microphone. She shook her head, trying to deal with the ringing in her ears.

“Ah,” she bowed “thank you so much, I will bring your drink and tart to you.”

Hongbin’s ears turned red as he hurried to a seat, quickly pulling his phone out of his pocket and clicking open the Kakao Talk application. Tapping on “Hormoney” (he blames Jaehwan for this group chat name) he glanced at the chat between Hakyeon and Wonshik about some plot. Ignoring most of it, he took a deep breath.

“GUys.”

Jajajaehwan : “Henlo Redbean. How goes it.”

“Who is anywhere near Autumn Cafe?”

Hakyeon: “Taekwoon said he was somewhere in the area. Why?”

Jajajaehwan :“TAEKWOON STOP PUTTING THE GROUP ON MUTE YOU ASS.”

“6Keys’ Miya is here. By the looks of it they’re filming a variety show.”

Shikkizzle : “You’re dead.”

Hakyeon : “Stop texting and go talk to her! Miya is the friendliest! Plus I'm trying to call ㅇㅅㅇ but he isn't picking up.”

jajajaehwan : stupid man. I hope he misses out. Go talk to her Bean!

Shikkizzle : Live for us!

“shut up, I'm going to casually open my laptop and continue my work.”

Shikkizzle :why are you such a loser

Jajajaehwan: boo

Hakyeon: you're crazy

Taekwoon : omw

Jajajaehwan: taekwoon you shady fuck

Hakyeon : so much for ‘I am not that into them’

Shikkizzle : taekwoon is a liar we all know that

Taekwoon : this is why I have this group on mute

Hakyeon : I hope you don’t get to meet Minah loser

Jajajaehwan : I’m catching a cab there, my precious Ara will be there!

Hakyeon : i’m heading to the metro station lol, wonder what my mum will say to seeing me on national tv

Shikkizzle : that you’re a dumbass

Hakyeon : you’re heading to autumn cafe too aren’t you?

Shikkizzle : 

Hongbin sighed as the bickering went on in the group. Praying that this wouldn’t descent into chaos,  he set his mobile phone aside and picked up his laptop from his bag. Opening the lid, the squinted at the screen as his previous work popped up.

“That’s really pretty,” Miya’s voice piped up as Hongbin nearly slammed the lid of his laptop down. Thankfully he had been working on editing a photoset of the different sets that the Summer Love music video had been shot in “I didn’t catch your name though, could you please tell me?” she asked as Hongbin spluttered out his name. Miya quickly set the tray holding the coffee and tart down on his table before stepping back to take a deep breath “if you don’t mind, I need to complete a mission, so may I please take up some of your time?”

Hongbin gaped as Miya burst into the choreography of the chorus of Summer Love, humming along with the tune of the song. She halted as Hongbin continued to gape at her before applauding softly as she bowed “Thank you so much for your time! I signed your napkin, I hope to see you at a fansign soon! Thank you for supporting 6Keys!” she quickly greeted before hurrying away.

Hongbin looked at the spot Miya had previous occupied, wondering yet again if he was dreaming. He realized he was nearly burning a hole into the spot when his eyes began watering. Averting his gaze to the coffee tray, he looked at the napkin which had Miya’s elegant handwriting curving over it in in.

“To Mr. Handsome,

Thank you for supporting us!

💓

Miya”

Shakily, he reached for the precious piece of tissue, carefully placing it in his wallet. He picked up the coffee, taking a sip, soothing this nerves. He took a deep breath, before looking back at the cash counter to find it unmanned and Miya, missing. Instead, by the counter stands a tall lanky man suspiciously looking at the pastry. The door flew open as Hakyeon walked in nudged the tall lanky man. Hongbin squints, he’d met Hakyeon before. The tall man turned to glare at Hakyeon who grinned back, and Hongbin realized that he had been looking at Taekwoon.

“Are you waiting for Minah, you creep?” Hakyeon grinned as the bell of the door jingled again and Wonshik and Jaehwan walked into the cafe. Jaehwan’s curious gaze turned to fix itself on Hongbin as he waved frantically, thereby getting the group’s attention on Hongbin. A member of the cafe staff approached them to assist them as they shook their heads and Hakyeon looked visibly upset. Hongbin gaped at the group of men approaching his table.

“They left.” Jaehwan mourned as he plopped himself down beside Hongbin.

“Hi! Yes, they left after Miya’s shoot apparently.” Hakyeon greeted him.

“What was it like meeting Miya?” Wonshik asked as he dragged a chair from the table next to Hongbin’s.

“Are you going to eat that tart?” Taekwoon asked softly as he took a seat beside Hakyeon. Hongbin sighed, pushing the tart towards him. Taekwoon began devouring the tart silently completely ignoring the rest of the conversation. Everyone at the table nearly missed the young man hovering around their table. It was Jaehwan who spotted the tall man-child looking person before turning to the Hakyeon who was immersed in Hongbin’s story.

“There’s a dude who's eavesdropping.” he hissed, attracting the attention of the rest of the group, excluding Taekwoon who was still guzzling the tart. The young man approached.

“Hi, I heard you guys talking about 6Keys and I was wondering if you guys were interesting in some merch and a photo card swap for Summer Love? I got Minah and I really wanted Haru. My name is Sanghyuk by the way!”

“...like crack Sanghyuk?” Wonshik deadpanned.

“Uhh...crack videos, not drugs…” Sanghyuk blinked.

“Taekwoon would like to swap cards with you. He’s consistently gotten everyone except Minah.” Hakyeon butted in as Hongbin nudged him.

“Sanghyuk the same Sanghyuk who wants me to help with his crack video?” he gaped at the tall man.

“Are you RedBeans with the awesome edits?” Sanghyuk’s eyes widened as Hongbin nodded before waving at everyone “this is Hakyeon, you may know him as FlytoSky on Twitter and Tumblr.”

“One of the biggest Haneul fansites!” Sanghyuk gaped.

“Taekwoon...who isn’t really active, but maybe you know his blog Beautiful-Harmony?”

“Or his lesser known side-blog fairy-goddess-minah?” Hakyeon added, trying to avoid Taekwoon’s murderous glare as he nearly stabbed him with a fork.

“Stop exposing me!” Taekwoon hissed as Sanghyuk laughed.

“I actually happen to follow that blog, good content for Minah there.”

“Jaehwan here runs Twitter, Insta and Tumblr accounts Ara-sso.” Hongbin continued, undeterred by the violence that was being displayed by Taekwoon. Jaehwan grinned and waved.

“I commented on all your videos!”

“Yes! I noticed! Thank you so much! I loved the ideas you commented,” Sanghyuk returned Jaehwan’s grin before turning to Wonshik.

“This must be Wonshik, I think I saw a picture of yours in a bias x you selfie tag. You made me nearly cry with ‘Clandestine’. One of my favourite fics man.”

Wonshik visibly blushed as Hakyeon suddenly shot up, waving a photocard as Taekwoon now fought the murderous rage of killing his friend who stole his wallet.

“Trading Haru for Minah!”

“Oh yes! Hold on” Sanghyuk fished around in his backpack.

“Hakyeon!” Taekwoon hissed.

“You literally brought this card here to see if someone would swap because you were hoping there would be a hoard of fans.” Hakyeon deadpanned causing Jaehwan to snort as he attempted to control his laughter.

“I’ll throw in a set of Minah lomo cards for fifteen hundred won.” Sanghyuk reemerged from his backpack, with the photocard and a set of pictures.”

“He’ll take it, do you have any Haneul lomo cards?” Hakyeon continued as Taekwoon protested.

“Don’t you mean Bora?” Jaehwan wiggled his eyebrows at Hakyeon.

“Shut up.”

“Yes, I do, but for you I’ll give it to you for a cheaper price of fourteen hundred and fifty only!” Sanghyuk waved another set of cards.

“I’m adding him to our KKT group.” Hongbin declared over the noise, Sanghyuk was getting increasingly cooler and Hongbin knew that he would add some sanity to the group, even if he brought the rest of the group to the brink of insanity.

“This is daylight robbery!” Wonshik exclaimed, eyes still fixed on the set of lomo cards in front of him.

“Gotta pay the bills my bro.” Sanghyuk shrugged “what’s the point of being in a fandom if you can’t make some money.”

“This is exploitation of sentiment.” Jaehwan grumbled, pulling his wallet out. Sanghyuk grinned as he pulled a seat and sat down beside the group, counting the bills in his hands as the rest of them stared at the lomo cards with shiny eyes.

And that's how the first Hormoney meeting came to be.
