Let Me Know What You Think!

“You’re sure they don’t mind me coming tonight?” You ask your best friend, worried you were intruding on guys night despite the fact he had assured you multiple times you weren’t. It’s not that you were nervous, you’d met the boys many times. You just hated to feel like you were intruding even though you knew you weren’t.

“Yes I’m sure, they adore you, dork” Seungmin says turning to give you a look as he takes your hand and open the door to the dorms.

“Oh I’m the dork? That’s rich coming from you” you laugh with a smile on your face as you follow him in.

“Mmm at least I’m not clumsy like you” he smirks, knowing he’s got you on this one.

“Hey! I can’t help that I’m clumsy! That’s not fair!” You stop behind him just after you two walk into the living room where the boys are, your arm getting tugged by his before he realizes you stopped. He turns to see you standing there with a pout on your face.

“Awww I’m sorry, did I hurt your feelings?” He asks, sounding sympathetic to you.

“Yeah” you say as you nod at him, keeping up the pout and looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

“Awww babe… man I would have thought after all this time being friends you’d be used to this by now” he laughs, even more when he sees your jaw drop after hearing your gasp at his words. “I’m kidding!! I’m sorry babe, come here” he says, pulling you into a hug, rubbing your back.

It wasn’t unusual for him to call you babe, it came up one time when he was teasing you and kind of stuck for him. You never minded it, but now you wish it meant more.

“Awww isn’t that cute?” You hear Minho quip from behind you as you’re pulling away from Seungmin. You raise a brow at him while trying to hide you’re blush.

“What’s cute?” You ask him as you hear a couple of the others snicker.

“I think he meant you two” Han giggles from beside Minho.

“Us? What about us two?” You ask, confused, as you sit down on an open spot on the couch next to I.N, Seungmin sitting on the other side of you.

“I think they’re trying to joke that you two are cute together” Hyunjin says with a smirk.

“Oh, I see” you say, trying to hide your blush.

“Come on, leave them alone guys” Chan says from the other side of the room.

“So what are we doing tonight anyway?” You ask, trying to change the topic.

“Just some games and hanging out!” You hear Felix say as he walks into the living room with snacks for everyone.

“Oo thanks Lix! And sounds fun!” You say as you lean back into the couch. You feel Seungmin’s arm behind your shoulders on the back of the couch but try to ignore it.

“What are we playing first?” I.N asks from beside you.

“Jenga!” Changbin yells from the floor, causing all of you to burst into laughter.

“Jenga it is!” Chan says as he gets out the game and you all start setting it up.

“No!! No way that’s still standing!!” You yell as Han pulls out his next piece and stacks it. The remaining tower looking VERY unstable but somehow is still standing.

“What can I say, I’m just that good!” He says from across the table with a smirk.

“Yeah, that’s it Ji” you say with a huff and eye roll as you examine the tower for your next move. It was just you two left and you were determined to win. As you were looking, you were fiddling with your necklace when you feel Seungmin start fiddling with your hair that’s resting near your shoulder by his hand. Without realizing you let out a small hum without breaking your concentration.

“Someone likes that Seungmin” you hear Minho say from beside Han and you can tell by his tone he’s smirking. You refuse to give him the satisfaction of a reaction though and focus on the tower.

“No idea what you mean” Seungmin says from beside you as he continues to play with your hair. You bite your lip to try to keep a sound from escaping as it becomes harder to concentrate. What you don’t see is the matching smirk on Seungmin’s face.

“Oh come on, it’s so obvious you two have a thing for each other!” Hyunjin says from the other end of the couch.

“It kind of is” you hear Felix chime in from beside him.

“Wait does everyone here think we like each other?” You ask, looking around the room at them all.

“Yes!” You hear them all answer in unison, including, to your surprise, Seungmin from beside you. You turn to look at him surprised as you hear Minho speak up.

“But Seungmin here is too nervous to make a move. We’ve tried getting him to for ages but he hasn’t yet. So I doubt he will now.” He says with a challenging smirk at Seungmin, looking him dead in the eyes.

“Oh I won’t huh?” Seungmin says before you feel his hands move down to your waist and tug you onto his lap so you’re facing him. You let out a small gasp in surprise as your eyes widen, staring at him.

You sit there for a moment staring at each other and suddenly it feels like there’s no one else in the room as he slowly moves his hand up to cup your cheek. You see a questioning look in his eye and you nod slightly, knowing what he’s asking of you without saying it.

Next thing you know, he surges forward and kisses you, his other arm wrapping around your waist as the one holding your cheek keeps your face against his. You instantly melt into the kiss, letting out a sigh as you lean into him to get a little closer.

The room erupts into a cacophony of yells and cheers around you.

“Yes!! Finally!!” Hyunjin yells.

“About time!” You best I.N from beside you.

“Oh my god they’re so cute” Felix says.

“I didn’t think he’d actually do it” Minho says, impressed.

The guys are still cheering as you two continue the kiss. At this point you’ve deepened the kiss, your hand reaching to tangle into his hair as you hum against his lips. He licks against yours gently, contrasting the intense kiss, and you let him in as you sigh, moving even closer to him.

“Okay guys, I think that’s enough” you hear Chan say a little awkwardly as the cheering dies down. You blush a little as you pull away, embarrassed you forgot all the guys were around. Seungmin just sits there with a big smile on his face though, not taking his eyes off yours.

“Mmm I don’t think that is enough yet, thanks though” he says with a smirk before sliding his arms beneath your bottom and standing up with you in his arms, carrying you down the hall as you yelp in surprise.

“Where are we going?” You laugh as you smile at him.

“My room for some privacy, that way they can’t use me making out with my girlfriend against me later” he says and you can’t help but laugh at his antics as he opens his door and carries you in. As he starts to shut the door, you hear two things.

“Use protection” Chan tells after you two, followed by Han chiming in with “Does this mean I win the game?!” And you laugh again as Seungmin shuts the door and leans in to kiss you.

Han may have won the game, but you and Seungmin were the real winners that night.

halfway through summer — kim seungmin. best friends to lovers. fluff. can happen in the universe of "eighteen" a few years back.

that one time kim seungmin almost confesses (1.0k words)

It is halfway through summer, and the last train is coming. 

Seungmin worries first about whether the pair of you can make it in time to the station, taking you by the hand and rushing through the crowd of people hoping to make the last trip. He worries about the consequences of knowing how your hand fits perfectly with his after, and the way you’d smiled at him that night, among other things. 

It’s easy to find an empty compartment when half of the world is asleep. The train is ghost-like, and when you sit down, it looks like there are words brewing in your throat that you want to say, but don’t know how to phrase.

Seungmin doesn’t push you.

Five minutes pass by.

“Thanks Minnie.” It’s two words that has him swallow his heart back down his throat, especially when you smile up at him, soft eyes staring down at the sneakers you’d gifted him a few birthdays ago. He wears them everyday.

The night had started early, and truthfully, Seungmin had been willing himself to sleep as early as 7pm so he didn't have to think about the prospect of another boy holding your hand, someone who could’ve made you laugh louder than he ever could. Then it blurred along the lines of receiving a phone call, and the heartbreaking way your voice quivered, and the immediate concern washing over Seungmin as he’d raced into the restaurant he’d dropped you off at earlier. 

“He– he stood me up. I was waiting there for hours, it made me feel so stupid, and he—”

“Shh, come here. Come here. It’s okay.” 

He pulls you to his body, gently bringing your face to his neck. The back of his shirt is wet. You don’t know it’s from the sweat he’d conjured when he’d rushed to you. 

“Is it me? I just—”

“I don’t want you to finish that sentence. It’s not you, okay? He’s just an ass.”

Seungmin holds you for a while, rubbing your back, and soothing you with quiet words. The way he cages you in his arms is gentle, but his eyes showed that he was angry. He would never say he was angry, but it was always painfully obvious when he was. His eyebrows would knit, and his eyes would speak words that are brewing in his throat. 

When you look up at him, the look vanishes into something that looks softer. Seungmin has always been mastered in only directing emotions that he means to you—happiness, pain, romance, but never anger. He knows you hate it, the loud voices and the harsh inhale and exhale.

Instead, he brings a hand to wipe the stray tears nipping at your eyes. He takes you around the city until the disheartened look on your face leaves. 

“You don’t have to thank me. You know I’d do anything for you.” It’s sincere, the way he looks at you, and the slight quiver on his lips, like he wants to say more. 

“You always take care of me.” 

“That’s because I—” 

Seungmin stops himself before he can say it, biting his lower lip. Timing is a fickle thing, and he knows this moment with you in this small, empty train compartment is not the right time to confess the feelings he’d buried so deep in fear of it spilling out. 

“Because?” You ask.

It’s silent, and Seungmin looks at your hands, the same ones he’d held mere minutes ago. The city lights outside are lulling. 

“Because if I didn’t, you probably wouldn’t have survived this long.” 

Your laughter rings out the moment he says it, and he barely feels the playful kick you had directed at him because he’s too busy relishing in your crinkled eyes and how they’re in sharp contrast to the teary, red-stained way it had looked earlier. 

You smile at each other. Yours in laughter, and his in admiration. He is only a person with a mind making room for more memories with you, for more moments like this with you.

The moon falls across the train compartment, and it’s in moments like these that have Seungmin reconsidering how forever would feel like, and how he wouldn’t mind having this moment last for a little bit longer than it should. Sitting here with you, a mere spectator of who you are as a person amongst the soft glow of the moon, makes Seungmin feel hopeless. 

But you remain unaware. You look outside, laughter having died down, but a smile staying. Maybe divinity had heard his secret plea, his quiet prayer, as the train’s intercom announces a slight delay. And he could’ve sworn he heard a whisper telling him to confess, but he hesitates. You’re still staring at the window, no sign of saying anything, and he feels himself redirecting the breath of words he’s been meaning to tell you to the floor. 

You tilt your head to look at the city lights better, and Seungmin is still looking at you subtly. The train starts to move again, and time continues to pass.

“Would you really do anything for me?” 

He barely hears you say it, but when it registers, he shifts in his seat as if coming to life. He wonders whether he should make a joke out of it, if he should continue hiding his feelings in the guise of teasing, but your eyes look sincere. Almost hopeful. 

“Anything.”

The way you smile after he says it makes happiness feel like nothing more than a human construct, because what is it if not the way you’re looking at him right now? 

The last train makes a stop at your station. Seungmin walks you back to your dorms, and he spends the rest of his way home thinking about tonight. The consequences of the things he’d worried about are washing over now, the feel of your hand, the sound of your laugh, and other things. 

It is halfway through summer, the train is long gone, and he whispers a silent prayer where no one can hear for the rest of the summer to feel like the forever he had felt in that train compartment.

For my beloved @krishastumblernow who has never stopped supporting me xx

Watching as Seungmin made his way across the park baseball cap pulled down and walking like his normal happy puppy self, you couldn't help but smile. You had been close friends for years and despite the fact that you could always spot him from his height it was his walk that always gave him away. As he reached the spot you always met at he finally looked up and saw you, a bright smile crossing his face.

"Have you been waiting long?" he flopped down on the bench beside you giving you a haphazard side hug.

"Not really maybe five minutes" you smiled back taking in his face, you knew the crush you had always harbored on him was one sided but at moments like these where he was so close to you you couldn't help but admire his beautiful features.

"Did you want to grab some coffee then? I know a cool café nearby that does those character coffees you like" he suggested nudging you with his shoulder playfully making you laugh softly before you stood up letting him guide you in the right direction.

"I'm glad you had time to hang out Seung, it's been almost a month" you sighed feeling happy with the sun on your face and him at your side.

"I know, I've missed you too" he laughed as your eyes widened ready to start bickering with him "it does suck getting stuck without any of the outside world for so long".

"Oh yeah I don't know how you guys all do it, I could never spend that much time travelling and only seeing the insides of hotel rooms, venues and planes" you nodded knowing that although his life looked glamorous it usually wasn't.

"What have you been up to, I know we text all the time but anything going on? Met anyone yet?" he teased his fingers brushing yours as you walked beside him.

"Sorry to disappoint you Seung but I haven't met anyone to take me off your hands yet" you rolled your eyes making him grin at his own joke.

"I thought you had a date last week though?" he stopped fishing his phone from his pocket to go through your chat to make sure he had read them properly.

"I did but it didn't work out" you shrugged as he frowned slightly and started walking again.

"Do you want to talk about it? He wasn't mean to you was he?" Seungmin asked, still not looking totally happy.

"It's nothing too bad he just said that he thought we would be better as friends" you explained, sighing as he started looking skeptical "I'm pretty sure there is something that makes me best friend material not girlfriend material".

"Yeah that is bullshit and you know it" he said firmly just before you stepped into the café. He guided you through the tables to one that sat at the back of the room so he was less likely to be recognized or photographed. "I'll go order and then we are going to talk about all the ways he was wrong".

You watched him approach the counter and order for the both of you pointedly ignoring the look the pretty girl behind the counter gave him, even though you could fully understand her, it was hard to not gawk at how handsome he was. He smiled politely, paid and then retreated quickly back to you with a faint blush across his cheeks that you meant one of two things, she had asked for his number or she had tried to give him her number, he was bad at both scenarios.

"Was it your number or hers?" you snickered watching him sit quickly in his flustered state.

"Hers, and stop laughing" he sulked, screwing up his nose at you.

"You really should be used to this by now Seung, you are going to be gorgeous forever you know" you giggled as he tried to not blush further.

"Yeah well you should stop going on dates with idiots who don't know how lucky they are to be sitting across a table from you" he snipped back trying to distract you from what you had just witnessed.

"What does that even mean, Seung?" you raised your eyebrows at him expectantly as the girl from the counter came to place your drinks and a large piece of cake between you making you smile.

"You always go on dates with idiots who can't see how amazing you are, it's not hard to see how smart, funny or beautiful you are so they all must be morons or too self absorbed to notice" he explained casually waiving his fork before he stuck it into the cake to take a bite.

"You think I'm beautiful?" you whispered as your heart beat harder in your chest thinking that he thought that about you.

"Well yeah you're the most beautiful girl I know" he smiled through a mouthful of cake as your eyes widened at him making him get shy and look back down at his drink. "I thought you would like the Totoro one and I got the puppy one".

"They are really cute" you agreed, swallowing the feeling of nervous happiness back down as you picked up the fork he had gotten for you to share the cake with him, a simple gesture that you were used to that now felt more intimate than it should.

"Most of the guys are out tonight. Did you want to come over to the dorm and watch a movie?" he asked, suddenly making you cough a little on your cake. Taking a sip of your coffee trying to not destroy the art on top you swallowed down the murderous offering while he silently laughed at you.

"Sure, are you going to try to kill me with food there too?" you tried glaring but your eyes were watering which only made him laugh harder and cut through the tension that had been between you.

"I can see it now Stray Kids Kim Seungmin arrested for murdering a friend with cake crumbs!" he joked, still laughing.

"Reports say friend's last words were stop laughing and help me you dick" you grumbled back as you finished your coffee.

"But really you don't have to come over if you're busy" he added softly.

"I'm never too busy to hang out with you Seung" you smiled triumphantly, stabbing the last mouthful of cake and stealing it out from under him while he pouted.

"Come on then we'll head back now and order in for dinner" he rolled his eyes at your theatrics and helped you put your coat back on before following you out of the cafe and into the street.

"Sure Seung, did you have a movie in mind?" you chuckled while he brushed his hand against yours again as you got back to the park.

"Well we could either binge a new series or I was thinking maybe the new Marvel movie" he shrugged easily as he continued to walk at your side despite the fact that you always walked slower than him.

"I don't mind either, should we decide when we get dinner?" you mused as you approached the van that had dropped him off to see you. He helped you in before shutting the door behind him and letting the staff know you were wanting to head back to the dorm.

"What's so important that you actually manage to get the dorm to yourself?" you pondered looking to him for an answer as the van started moving, pulling into traffic and driving you towards the dorm.

"Minho and Felix are doing some kind of dance practice tonight and Innie is out with Hyunjin" he shrugged casually. "Any preference for dinner? or I will just order fried chicken".

"Chicken is fine but can we also get some dessert?" you grinned, turning back to look out the window of the moving van.

"Sure" he answered and you could hear the smile in his voice making you feel warm. It had been a month since you had seen him now in one day you were going to get to spend hours with him which was more than you would ever normally dare to ask from him, he was busy with his work as an idol and you knew at some point he would also find someone that he would want to date which would probably take up the rest of his free time, so you knew each time you saw him you needed to be grateful for the time you were getting because it probably would be finite.

"You are thinking way too loudly, are you still thinking about the idiot from last week?" he questioned as he frowned his brows knitting together lightly once again.

"No just thinking I'm lucky to steal this much of your time" you blinked shyly as his face changed to surprise then pleased while yours must have been pink dusted the tips of your ears.

"I'm the lucky one" he countered, clearing his throat "not many friends are willing to wait around for weeks to just hang out". He shifted in his seat slightly as the van pulled into the underground garage that the apartment building his dorm was in. The dim light made it hard for you to see properly for a moment while the van parked and Seungmin opened the door for you to follow him out.

His apartment was chaotic as always four grown men living together had made for interesting decor. It was part bachelor pad, part family home with random plushie pillows littering the couch and game controllers on the coffee table as well as jackets handing off nearly every chair but it was spotlessly clean and comfortably lived in. Putting your shoes away in the entryway you followed Seung into the lounge area plopping down on the couch as he continued to the kitchen.

"Did you want something to drink?" he asked while he stuck his own head in the fridge to find something for himself. "We have water, juice or beer".

"Beer please" you playfully answered throwing him an exaggerated wink when he looked over the fridge door at you. Grabbing two beers he opened them and walked over to the couch to sit next to you handing you a controller before smirking.

"Play until we order dinner?" he smirked knowing you would agree but would end up getting huffy at him for losing every round you played against him. You just nodded knowing Seungmin was trying to wind you up, you enjoyed playing video games but you were far from being any good at them, at least far from being as good as he was. It would end in a playful fight while you waited for dinner to arrive that would all be forgotten by the time you started the movie and ate until you were full and sleepy cuddled up next to him. Well that's how it used to go before he got as successful as he was now, before the fame and demand had him working almost every day, tonight turned out to be no different.

"Just order dinner Seung" you whined, flopping back against the back of the couch and hugging a cat pillow to your chest as he laughed at you.

"You are still so bad at losing" he laughed harder when you pouted and looked at the floor "but I'll order".

You grabbed the remote and flicked over to Netflix hoping you could at least find something to watch that the pair of you could agree on, scrolling through the recommendations you found a drama that you were wanting to watch.

"Have you watched this one?" You asked hopefully looking over at him to find his eyes already on you.

"Not yet, did you want to start that tonight?" He smiled lopsidedly as you grinned back selecting the first episode to start playing. You knew that Seungmin, Hyunjin and Han all watched dramas not necessarily together but they recommended them between themselves so it wasn't strange for Seung to get caught up in one. As the first episode played you watched the two lead characters fumble about in their storylines making cute mistakes or embarrassing themselves as you sipped the rest of your beer. Letting the second one start you were interrupted by the food delivery, by the third episode you were onto your second beer and righting all the wrongs in the characters lives while you sat sprawled out against each other.

"Come on that was obvious" you huffed, the female character intentionally acting cute for the male character.

"He's obviously distracted" Seungmin agreed, taking another mouthful of his drink. "She on the other hand is easily the most oblivious person ever, he's been flirting with her all episode and she just doesn't get it".

"His flirting is so clumsy she is never going to take it as actual flirting she just thinks he's being sweet or teasing her" you argued laughing as Seung pouted ridiculously

"How is it teasing? Plus if she doesn't confess her feelings he will end up with someone else" Seungmin shrugged watching the screen. Six episodes in and the characters were finally getting their shit together and the guy was about to do his dramatic confession in the rain scene.

"So romantic" you gushed, wide eyes on the screen.

"So cliche" Seungmin groaned next to you making you roll your eyes "I mean what girl wants a dripping wet guy traipsing through her house dripping water everywhere?".

"It's not how he confesses it's what he says when he confesses" you laughed turning to look at Seungmin. "They could be eating dinner in their pajamas and it would still be romantic" you finished turning back to the screen, not noticing the look on Seungmin's face, to find them kissing passionately in her apartment. The scene made you squirm a little, your face heating up as you watched them slowly undress each other.

"Are you ok?" Seungmin interrupted, his eyes still on you "You have gone all red".

"I'm fine" you brushed him off your voice a little bit too high pitched to be considered normal. "It's because of the beer" you covered hoping he wouldn't press you further.

"When was the last time someone kissed you like that?" Seungmin pressed, tilting his head at you and leaning in closer his eyes looking darker suddenly.

"No one has ever kissed me like that" you swallowed, your mouth suddenly dry unable to turn away from him and back to the screen. You could hear him pause the episode but couldn't tear your eyes away from him to check.

"No one?" Seungmin repeated, softly the distance between you getting even smaller.

"No one" you breathed. He closed the gap between you a little more, his breath now fanning across your cheeks and his eyes still gazing deeply into yours. Smiling softly he lifted his hand placing a knuckle under your chin to raise it, his eyes flicked down to your lips quickly, your breath hitched as he chastely pressed his lips to yours testing what you wanted him to do. You kissed him back softly, giving him all the permission he needed to kiss you more passionately, his lips soft and plush against yours.

Pulling you into his lap you tangled your fingers in his hair to hold him as close as you could. He ran his tongue along the seam of your lips seeking entry making you gasp, which he took full advantage of sliding his tongue against yours and taking the lead as your need for him became more evident. Eventually breaking away from your mouth for air he kissed his way along your jaw and down to your neck smiling as your breathing turned sped up.

"Seungmin" you mumbled fire burning under the skin his lips touched making you feel light headed.

"What if it's actions, my love" he murmured into your skin "instead of words".

Seungmin pulled your body flush against his, his hands sliding down your sides until they reached the back of your thighs which he squeezed gently before grasping firmly and standing up which made you wrap your legs around him instinctively. He smirked seductively before pressing his lips to yours again and walking you to his room kicking the door shut behind you with his foot. The drama and leftover food now forgotten in the lounge for the rest of the night.

—

“It’s always in these quiet moments, just after sunset, when the world is painted in soft twilight, that you feel most at ease beside Seungmin.”

His shoulder brushes yours as you walk, the touch lingering like an unsaid promise. You’ve only known each other for a month, yet it feels like a lifetime — like you've always known the sound of his laughter when it slips from his lips, the way it builds until he’s clutching his stomach, his hand instinctively covering his mouth. You’ve learned the little things: his favorite foods, the ones he wrinkles his nose at, how his eyes light up when he talks about baseball, and the way he turns shy under your gaze, his confidence faltering for just a moment. And somehow, he’s memorized the same small, intricate details about you.

There’s something about Seungmin that draws you in, like you could lose yourself in the depths of his eyes, in the rhythm of his words. The nights you spend together have become a ritual, drifting into conversations that spill into the evening air, neither of you wanting them to end. He listens as if each word you say is something to be treasured, and when he speaks, you find yourself hanging on every syllable, drawn in by the sincerity behind them. 

Now, like you’ve done many nights that sacred month, the two of you walk side by side through the familiar streets, the conversations between you flowing as effortlessly as the night breeze. There’s a tension in the air, subtle but undeniable, something more than friendship settling between the spaces of your words. And though neither of you has said anything, it lingers, waiting to be acknowledged.

“You’re really intelligent, you know that?” The words escape your lips before you can stop them, but now that they're out, you can’t help but follow through. “I mean, the way you speak… it’s so thoughtful, like you’ve really considered everything before you say it. It makes me want to keep listening.”

His eyes widen at your sudden confession, the surprise evident as a soft blush creeps up his cheeks. He quickly turns his head toward you, as if searching your face for sincerity, but the warmth in his eyes betrays the shyness he’s trying to hide.

“You’re not just smart, Seungmin… you make people feel like their words matter.” There’s a hint of embarrassment in your voice, but the relief of finally saying it outweighs your nerves. You’ve been wanting to tell him this from the moment you realized how deeply he listens, how effortlessly he makes you feel heard.

For a moment, he’s quiet, as if weighing your words carefully. Then, a soft smile tugs at the corner of his lips, his blush deepening under the fading light. “I didn’t know I did that,” he murmurs, almost to himself, his voice low and warm. His eyes flicker to yours again, and there’s a softness there, something unspoken hanging between you, lingering in the space of the moment. 

You quickly look away, a sudden wave of shyness bubbling up inside you. The air between you feels almost too thick to breathe, the quiet weight of something unspoken pressing down on your chest. As your eyes wander, searching for something—anything—to break the tension, you spot it: a faint, glowing light in the distance. A small, vintage photo booth sits tucked away at the corner of the street, its neon sign flickering invitingly, like it’s calling to you.

Your heart skips a beat as excitement overtakes the nerves. “Look!” you exclaim, pointing at it. Without thinking, you grab Seungmin’s hand, a burst of adrenaline pushing away the lingering tension. “We have to take pictures!”

He blinks, caught off guard by your sudden enthusiasm, but follows you with a soft laugh. “A photo booth?” he asks, amusement mingling with a hint of nerves in his voice. He’s been unusually quiet all night, but you don’t dwell on it as you pull him closer.

The booth looks even more charming up close, its faded paint and soft, glowing interior giving it a nostalgic warmth. You lift the curtain and slide inside, barely able to contain your excitement. Seungmin hesitates for a moment before sitting beside you, the small space forcing your knees to bump and shoulders to press together. The closeness stirs something inside you, a flutter of nerves that you try to ignore.

You fumble with the coins, your excitement getting the better of you, and one slips from your fingers, clattering to the floor of the booth. “Oops,” you mumble, bending down to grab it, just as Seungmin does the same.

Your heads collide with a soft thud, both of you freezing at the unexpected contact.

“Ow,” you laugh awkwardly, rubbing your forehead as a nervous giggle escapes your lips. Seungmin’s eyes widen, a startled smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

“Sorry,” he mutters, his voice soft and apologetic, his own hand brushing against his forehead. For a moment, you’re both stuck in this awkward dance of flustered apologies and quiet laughter, neither of you quite sure what to do next.

You finally manage to pick up the coin, the air between you lighter but still charged with something more, something unsaid. As you straighten back up and drop the coin into the slot, the machine hums to life again, the countdown starting on the screen.

“Ready?” you ask, glancing at Seungmin. He nods, but there’s something in his expression—an intensity, a quiet sort of tension that wasn’t there before.

The first flash goes off, capturing your smiles, your faces still a safe distance apart. For the second shot, you make a funny face, and Seungmin laughs, some of his earlier nervousness melting away. But by the third picture, things shift again. You’re closer now, your knees brushing with each breath, the air between you thickening once more. 

The countdown for the third photo begins, but this time, Seungmin doesn’t move. He glances at the screen, then back at you, his expression unreadable. The numbers tick down, and just as you expect the flash, he speaks, his voice soft, almost hesitant.

“Can I kiss you?”

The question hangs in the air, quiet but heavy, and your heart skips a beat. You weren’t expecting it, and the sudden vulnerability in his voice makes the moment feel more intimate, more real than anything you’ve felt with him before.

You meet his eyes, wide and sincere, and for a second, all the playful banter, all the lingering tension, comes rushing back to you. You’ve thought about this, about him, but the way he asks—careful, as if he’s giving you a choice, a way out if you want it—makes your heart ache in a way you didn’t expect.

The camera flashes, but neither of you move. 

You swallow, your voice barely above a whisper. “Yes.”

Seungmin exhales, like he’s been holding his breath, and slowly—so slowly it’s almost painful—he leans in. His hand hovers near yours, as if unsure whether to take it. His eyes never leave yours, searching your face for any sign of hesitation. But there is none.

When his lips finally brush yours, it’s tentative, soft, like a question being asked again with each gentle movement. The kiss is hesitant, sweet and shy, as if he’s afraid of moving too fast, of breaking whatever delicate thing has been building between you. Your heart hammers in your chest, every inch of your skin buzzing with nervous energy.

The final flash of the camera goes unnoticed, the picture snapping without either of you caring. All that exists is the warmth of Seungmin’s lips on yours, the closeness that fills the tiny booth, and the quiet realization that everything between you has changed.

When he pulls back with unsteady breath, his face is flushed, and he looks at you like he’s unsure of what to say, his breath uneven, lips parted as if he’s trying to figure out what just happened. His expression is a mixture of surprise and something deeper, something that’s been building between you all night, maybe even longer.

You smile, feeling as flustered as he looks, the butterflies in your stomach refusing to settle. “That… that was nice,” you murmur, your voice shaking a little, as if you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Seungmin glances down at the floor, rubbing the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle. “Yeah… it was,” he mumbles, his blush deepening as his eyes flicker back up to meet yours, his shyness mirroring your own.

You both sit in a comfortable silence for a moment, the world outside fading into the background. Seungmin finally looks at you, his eyes soft yet searching, and you feel a warmth spread through you as you meet his gaze. “I think I blinked… can we do it again?” you suggest shyly, gesturing toward the camera. A shy smile breaks through Seungmin’s earlier nerves as he reaches to put another coin into the machine.

“Definitely.” His response makes your heart race with anticipation, a flutter of excitement at the thought of capturing this moment again. As the countdown restarts, you lean back in closer, the warmth of his presence enveloping you once more. You can feel the electric buzz between you, and in that sweet, shy moment, you both know this experience—filled with laughter and a hint of longing—will linger in your memory long after the photos are developed. The camera flashes, freezing another moment, as you both bask in the promise of what’s yet to come.

Forever and Always

Forever and Always 

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Summary: Changbin is your best friend and is in love with you(baby is down BAD and SIMPINGt) and everyone knows–because he’s too in love to hide it and he wants you to know 

: ̗̀➛Warnings: simp binnie, friends to lovers, pet names, binnie rambles(affectionate and cute), kissing, fluff, the other members teasing binnie(playfully),mention of Binnie’s family( like one time), fem!reader , band mates call reader Mrs.Seo 

(this is my first time writing a friends to lovers trope, pls bare with me <3) ENJOY!!!! :) 

Changbin had a crush on you–majorly– and everyone knows. How do they know? Because, he doesn’t care to hide it, and he wants you to know. You were his home screen, lock screen, top contact–after his family. Your accounts–Disney +, spotify,etc– were added on his phone, so you didn’t have to worry about going with movies, music or whatever you needed; so long as he was there. This did, however, warrant a LOT of teasing from his band mates. Changbin was constantly met with the “why haven’t you confessed yet?” Or the “jeez, down that bad, huh, bin?” from his members. He didn’t care, though, as long as he had you. And, that brings you to now.

Changbin and his members were in the practice studio, touching up routines for upcoming performances. Everyone was sitting ( or laying down), as they were taking a break. He sat on the long couch, scrolling through his phone, and texting you, before a nosy Seungmin plopped himself by his hyung, letting out a chuckle. “Hyung, you’re still texting her?Just confess already!” Seungmin spoke up, earning nods from the other members.”Yeah, bin, she feels the same! Just tell her!” Hyunjin piped in, before Jeongin giggled. “What were you texting about anyways?Your wedding?” He laughed before Changbin whined. “Yahhhhh. I was just asking how far she is from the studio. She’s bringing lunch.” He whined, going back to his phone , texting you that his band mates were teasing him again.However, you were already in the building, walking to their practice room with bags of food in your hand. Giggling, you managed to send him a text back. “Almost there, bun. I’m coming to rescue you.hehehe.” You smiled,sliding your phone into your back pocket and walking down the long hallway of various rooms.

Finally(it was only a 2 minute walk) you found their closed door, and you could hear them still teasing Changbin, other members laughing along. Carefully you pushed the door open, and were met with a giddy Changbin running toward you and 7 other men smiling. “Hi boys, I have food!” You smiled, as Changbin took a bag from your hands, setting it on the floor. You heard a chorus of “Hi Y/nnie!” and “Hi Mrs.Seo”s. Giggling you pinched Changbin on his cheek, taking a seat next to him, away from the others.”Hi, bun. You doing okay?” You smiled, reaching a hand out to run through his hair. “Mhm. They were just teasing me again, missed you though.” he smiled back, taking a bite of his food. Although you had hung out together yesterday, you couldn’t deny that you missed him too. “I missed you too, bun. Always do.” You smiled , wiping a bit of sauce from the corner of his mouth. “Are we doing anything after you finish practice?” You asked, taking another bite of your food, subconsciously scooting closer to him. Wrapping his arm around your shoulder, Changbin shrugged, “doesn’t matter to me, bunny.” He’d said, resting his cheek against the top of your head. 

You and Changbin, however, were so immersed in your bubble that you didn’t notice the other members leaving, or calling out to you.”Mrs. Seo, I’m going to the bathroom.” “Mr and Mrs. Seo, I’m going to get a drink from the vending machine, d o you want anything?” It all went over yours and Changbin’s heads. It was just the two of you. Feeling tired after eating, you had cuddled yourself into Changbin’s chest, slinging an arm over his midsection and put your legs across his lap.. “Mmmm, bun. You smell nice,” you mumbled, holding him tighter. Blushing, he pressed a light kiss on the top of your head. “Thank you, bunny. You comfy?” He whispered, rocking you back and forth lightly. Yes, you two were always affectionate, this seemed different and was definitely pulling his heart strings. Nodding against his chest, you smiled, grabbing his hand. “Mhm, you’re so cozy. I like cuddling you.” You’d said, softly smiling up at him and man…..the amount of love for you he had in his chest was going to explode. “I love you, bunny,” he said, pressing a kiss to your forehead, as you were slowly blinking, trying to stay awake. “What?” You whispered, slightly pulling back and cupping his cheeks in your hands.” N-nothing, bunny. Just take a nap,yeah?” Changbin said, with a blush creeping up his neck and ears, a pink hue tinting them. “ No no… bun, What’d you say?” You spoke up, thumbs caressing his cheeks. “I-I said I love you. Not as a friend, as a girlfriend. Bunny, it’s always been you, ever since we met and you started talking to me. You’ve had my heart and soul and mind. Geez you’re so pretty and talented and sweet and kind and loving and I love you. And–and everyone knows, the both know my family knows, Heck I think the whole knows and I’ve just been to confess because I don’t want to lose you,ever-” He’d rambled , trying to avoid your gaze. But before he could ramble any further, you leaned in pressing your lips to his. He was surprised but kissed back, one hand pulling you into his chest further and the other cradling the small of your back. A minute later, you pulled away, your forehead against his. “Oh my binnie, my sweet bun. I love you too, I always have. I’ve always been yours, always and forever.” You whispered, placing another peck to his lips. Smiling, he hugged you tightly to his chest, pressing a kiss to your hair “I love you, forever and always, my bunny.”

Too immersed in your love for one another, neither of two noticed the other boys reentering the room. The only thing that snapped you out of your love bubble was the cheering, clapping and giggling from the others. “Finally! Finallyyyyyyyy, we knew this would happen!” Chan smiled, sitting back on the floor. Han and Felix clapped.

 “Waahhh, congratulations hyung and Y/nnie!” They giggled before Jeongin and Lee Know piped up.

 “Oh my god, You did it?! You confessed?!” They smiled, patting Changbin’s knee, laughing. Hyunjin was the last to enter the room, seeing you and Changbin.

“Oh my goooood! It happened! We can plan the wedding! Wait wait, kiss kiss kiss!Does this mean we’ll get to be uncles soon?!”

You and Changbin could only giggle, pressing a kiss to each other’s lips, as the others watched, cheering you on. Sure, his band mates annoyed him, but he officially had you and your love to keep him sane–forever and always.

"Ask yourself, why you're ass was down right there?"

Masterlist

Summary: Y/N harboured her feelings for a long time and tried to loose them when she saw Lee Know in a relationship. Lee Know on the other hand realizes his love for Y/N. Will Y/N accept this love?

Pairing: ChildhoodFriendLeeKnow X ChildhoodFriendY/N

Genre: ChildhoodFriends X Lovers; mentions of sex, making out, suggestive Lee Know, drunk confessions.

Note: The Lee Know or the other members mentioned here are no where related to the idol Stray Kids and are just a fictional character. Minors DNI please!!!

You and Lino have always been friends since childhood, to the fact that your both parents had promised to marry you off to each other. It would be a sin to lie if you said you didn't like that idea, but Lino who never knew anything about this had other plans. The fact that you both were there for each other during your tough times and happy times, just made people think that you were a couple. When both of you ended up, choosing the same university, you both had to live abroad. Your parents who saw their dreams distant, decide to act as a cupid for the two of you. They both suggested you take a room and share it since you both were comfortable with each other, and you would take care of each other when need.

So a few semesters later, Lino got a girlfriend Minji, he often bought her to your dorms, and those nights were just sleepless, tearful nights for you when they enjoyed in the next room. When this happened for a few times, you decided to take matters in your hands. It would be bad to loose a friend as Lino, so what's one thing you can do? Hide your feelings for him. Minji was comfortable enough with seeing you as his roommate, because she trusted Lino and hence you two had a good relationship with each other. Few months into the relationship, Lino felt something was really wrong. When Minji asked what to have for lunch, he would be reminded of your favourite burrito from Chipotle, when you two decided to go to Graeter's to buy an ice cream, he would be reminded of your fav Oregon Strawberry. When they both went to get cloths, he would go in search of 'M' sized because that was yours and not Minji's. Minji who noticed these slight changes, asked what Lino was upto, when he said that, he wanted some time to decide on what was going on with him. "You are in love with her, Lino" said Minji. Lino's ears turned red and words stumbled "N- No" he said with hesitation. "You can deceive yourself, but not your heart. The way she speaks to me about you says so too. I guess you guys are an absolute match. I guess, I don't have anymore business here" she said. "I really feel guilty deep down inside, Minji, but thanks for being a nice person and not a toxic one. I really hope you get someone who loves you the same way you love anyone." he said as he decided to go home.

"Y/N... Where are you going all dolled up?" Lino asked you when he met you in the hall of your shared apartment all dressed up, you looked stunning in his eyes and he realised he has really fallen for you. "I'm out for a date. You can have dinner, I'll eat outside, don't wait for me" you replied. The words pierced his heart and he literally felt how you would have felt when he brought Minji home. He waited for your arrival, but he couldn't take off the feeling from his heart. He decided to gulp a glass of wine while he waited for your arrival. Slowly one turned to 5 and in no time he was drunk. When you came home, you were scared to see him on the chair. You mistook him to be unconscious but when you saw the wine glass, you realised what had happened. You lifted him up to take him to his room, when he saw you, "Hey Y/N, How was your date? To be honest. I broke up with Minji" he said which made you stare at him. As your eyes met, he continued, "The reason why? I'm in love with someone else. That someone is Y/N, Y/L/N" he said as you dropped him, with a loud thud he fell to the ground. Realising what you did, you kneeled down to help him up, when he pulled you in for a deep kiss. You who had always wanted to feel his lips, fell into this trap and when you realised what had happened, you pushed him, leaving to the ground and running to you room. The entire night, you didn't know what to do and tossed and turned around on the bed.

"Y/N, why the hell am I even on the floor of the hallway and not in my bedroom?" Lino asked as he barged into the kitchen where you were cooking for you both the next morning. "Ask yourself, why your ass was down right there? I helped you, but y--you--- try to rewind on what you did and what you said. What grown up man, gets drunk to the fact that he can't even handle himself and sleeps the entire night on the floor of the hallway?" you asked. "Btw how was your date? Did you like him? Did you say ok to him?" he asked. "Ayoo, stop bombarding me with questions. I'm going to my room, if you want anything else come here in."

"Oh shit" he cursed as memories flooded on what happened the previous night vaguely. He came to your room and sat beside you. "I'm sorry Y/N, I just now remember, what I did yesterday. I just didn't mean to. So I'm asking you do you love me? I love you!!" he confessed. Tears dropped from your eyes, "Lee Know, Weren't you Minji's boyfriend just yesterday? I-- I still want some time. Please gimme some time. I need some space." you replied. "The moment he confessed to you, the wild thoughts which you had suppressed started to flow through. You wanted to do unholy stuffs to him, kiss him, have sex with him, get drunk with him and flirt with him, feel him on you, feel every inch of him. But in a corner of your heart, you didn't want to get hurt again.

Who knew Lee Know was shameless, the moment you said, you would think about it. From then onwards he started to go around the house shirtless, when he saw you ogling at his, he would flash that hereditary Lee smirk and would make you fluster. He would press you against you when you were drying out the cloths in the name of helping you. He would come to the restroom when he heard you taking bath in the name of asking what you wanted to have for lunch. One day, he would walk out of the bathroom with his towel wrapped around his torso, with water dripping from his hair, the next day, he would come sneak into the bedsheets. When you ask him the reason, he says that his heater's out of service. Another day, he would push the ladder you were standing on to take out provisions from the top cabin and catch you by placing his hands in your hips. You who had your feelings grow day by day, decided to stop this Tom and Jerry game once for all. One day to put things to an end, you decide to call Lino to bring a towel to you when in fact you had one while you went to bath, you used it to cover yourself. Immediately, when he gave you the towel, you grabbed him by your hand, pushed him by the wall and asked him, "You've been so bratty these days, what's with you? Didn't I say I needed some time? Then why the hell are you even teasing me. Do you know the way it arouses me, and the way it crushes my pride?" you said clenching your teeth. Realising the effect it had on you and the way his plan was on for a success, he gave you a smirk and said, "Then let it out let's not waste anymore time. Promote me as you boyfriend" he said as he pushed the strand of hair behind your ear . "I love you Lee Know" you whispered into his ears as you pulled his collar in for a kiss, slowly as you melted in his touch, with the shower soaking you both, you couldn't resist the attraction he exuded. He caressed you and in no time the towel which was covering you now was on the floor, then he pulled out to remove his clothes and in not time you were on your bed making love.

Chapter word count: 3.3k words

“I still can’t believe you’re here, you haven’t visited in so long!” Mrs. Young exclaimed and touched Minho’s hand affectionately, pointing him towards the food she laid out in front of the two of you.

You weren’t entirely sure what she cooked, but it smelled almost as good as Minho’s food, so to say you were excited to try out the mysterious stew was an understatement.

“It’s really unbelievable to have you here for dinner. It’s too bad grandma is sleeping.” She continued, smiling.

“I know, right? I haven’t been here in almost two years, but still, nothing’s changed.”

“Wow, two years?” You exclaimed, surprised.

“Yes! Can you believe that?! I wanted to scold him so badly!” Mrs. Young scoffed.

“I had so much work to do, with the restaurant and all…”

“It’s good that you were able to take a break, then. Don’t overwork yourself so much.” She frowned.

“I’ll be trying. Thank you for always looking out for me, Mrs. Young.” Minho smiled.

“Always so polite! Dal-Rae, I’m telling you, he’s always been like this! Take him out of the house more, because he’s a workaholic.”

“Am I that bad?” He chuckled.

“Oh, if anything, he’s the one who’s taking care of me and takes me out of the house.” You smiled sweetly, looking fondly at the man you’ve grown to love.

“You’re both so in love.” She smiled brightly, making you both blush. “Please visit again once the little bean comes! I’m sure grandma wants to meet little Amelia as well!”

“Of course, we will.” Minho smiled sincerely.

“So, how did you two meet? Tell me all about your love story!”

“Well-” Minho started, but you cut him off.

“It was thanks to the restaurant, really. I happened to smell one of his amazing dishes and felt my mouth water. I was sure it’s going to be delicious, so I went in, and, yeah, the rest is history.” You chuckled.

It was the truth, that’s how everything started.

Of course, you omitted the negative parts. Since Minho wanted you to be his fake girlfriend in front of his grandma and this lady, you would paint the most beautiful love story to them.

“Oh my! Is that so?” Mrs. Young chuckled as well.

“You really liked that recipe.” Minho looked at you with a smile tugging at his lips.

“Yeah, I did. It’s still my favourite.”

“I should make sure to cook it for you more often once we get back, then.”

“Please.” You smiled sweetly.

“And what about marriage?” Mrs. Young looked at both of you expectedly. “Since you have a baby on the way…”

“We first wanted to focus on what’s in front of us, making sure our baby will be healthy and happy, and then…” Minho kept his eyes on you, and you made eye contact, which made you embarrassed.

Our baby.

You didn’t know how to stop the smile from creeping onto your face, so you allowed yourself to smile and keep pretending.

You truly wished you didn’t have to pretend, and that Amelia was truly his baby.

~

“Pfew, what a full day!” Minho yawned, following you into the bedroom and opening up the suitcase. He pulled out two pairs of pyjamas - for you and him - and handed you yours.

You were grateful he took you here, and that he did all the work for you. Bending down has been getting more and more difficult, and having to rummage through the suitcase frankly scared you and brought tears to your eyes. It was frustrating, really, to be this useless. And that’s not to mention the energy levels you’ve been having – or rather, haven’t been having.

“Mhm. I’m so tired.” You chuckled.

Pregnancy really sucked, and watching Minho exit the room, you allowed yourself to exhale a painful breath. You were not ready to leave him, and you didn’t know how you were supposed to go, or where.

Sure, Minho made sure you had some money saved up. The first week you stayed at his place, he took you to a bank and helped you open an account, and he deposited a generous amount into it, way more than he should’ve, considering that you haven’t been much help around the restaurant. He kept depositing money every other week, so you managed to build up some savings that would help you rent a small one-bedroom apartment for a little while, but then what?

Minho couldn’t keep giving you money. You didn’t want him to keep giving you the money he worked so hard for, to burden him by continuing to rely on him. But without his support, what would you even do?

You needed to find a job.

You decided to think about this more in-depth once you’re back in the city, and tried to focus on the task at hand, which was getting changed out of your clothes.

You took your trousers off with great difficulty, and when trying to put the pyjama pants on, a sharp pain travelled through your body as you tried to bend and raise your leg in the air, stopping you dead in your tracks.

Fucking hell, you cursed and decided to approach the situation differently. You draped the pants on the floor and stepped into them, trying to minimise lifting your leg as much as possible, but it didn’t do much to help, for your belly was way too large and didn’t allow much movement.

It was too much.

Everything was too much, and you were tired, and sad, and sick of everything, and you were so useless, you couldn’t even dress yourself anymore.

Defeated, you sat down on the bed with your face covered by your hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

Useless, useless, useless, useless, you repeated in your head over and over. I’m just a burden to everyone. I can’t even do one simple thing.

After waiting for a while, Minho figured out that you must’ve been ready by now, so he knocked on the door and called your name, but you didn’t reply. He immediately got a bad feeling, and remembered how sad you were curled up in the bed last night after his ex traumatised you.

Afraid that you’re having another panic attack, he decided to open the door instead of waiting for your response, and seeing you, his heart broke inside of his chest. You were sitting on the bed, crying your eyes out, legs naked.

“Dal-Rae, what’s wrong?” He entered the room immediately and closed the door behind him, dropping to his knees in front of you.

“I-… I-” You started but couldn’t stop stuttering between your sobs.

God, why am I so pathetic?

You hated this.

You hated everything, but the one thing you hated the most was yourself.

“Shh, come here.” He hugged you tightly, and you cursed again and again, because his arms were so warm and comfortable, and safe. How would you leave him? How?

He continued speaking, and you couldn’t grasp how he was able to be so observant and careful with you all the time. “What’s wrong, hm? Is it hard pulling your pants up?”

You just nodded, so he helped you stand up and kneeled down in front of you again.

“I haven’t shaved.” You tried to get out between your sobs.

“So what?” Minho chuckled sympathetically, grabbing the pants and lifting them up on your legs.

“It’s disgusting.” I’ll disgust you. You thought, crying even harder.

“Dal-Rae, it’s just some hair. It’s not disgusting. You could never disgust me, no matter what.”

“That’s a lie.” You whispered.

“It’s not. There. Better?” He stood up and smiled at you, but you couldn’t stop crying. You wanted to tell him about all your insecurities, and you wanted him to comfort you and tell you that it’s okay to stay with him, that he doesn’t and won’t mind taking care of you for as long as you needed.

You wanted that so badly, but still, you couldn’t bring yourself to say anything.

You just sobbed quietly in his arms, and when you finally calmed down, you told him you were tired and needed to sleep, so you laid down the bed and turned on your side facing the wall, feeling the mattress grow heavy with Minho’s body behind you.

All of a sudden, an arm encircled your frame, and Minho’s body pressed against your back.

“Dal-Rae, please don’t be upset anymore.” He whispered, caressing small circles on your arm.

“I just wish I wasn’t such a burden to you…” You confessed quietly.

“You are not a burden. I’ve never seen you that way. You are very precious to me.” He squeezed your arm a little, then continued caressing it.

You didn’t know what to say. Should you say ‘I love you’? Should you also tell him that he is precious to you? Should you tell him about what you’ve been thinking of doing? That your accountant brain can’t shut down and only thinks of numbers numbers numbers – of how much money you needed to move out?

You didn’t know what to say, so you didn’t say anything. You just closed your eyes and tried to fall asleep. Sometimes, running away is better than facing everything head on, and isn’t that what you’ve been doing the whole time?

When things got tough with your boyfriend, you didn’t report him, nor confront him. You ran away and found Minho. And now, when you’re feeling like extra weight for Minho to take care of, you wanted to run away again, just so you wouldn’t inconvenience him any further.

You were so, so incredibly tired of running away.

But then, Minho’s words shook you awake.

“The baby in your belly is also precious to me. Both of you have become the centre of my universe lately. Who would’ve thought?”

His voice was soft, and his words touched you. You started sobbing again.

“I love you two so much. Whenever I see you, my day feels so much brighter, and I feel so happy when she says hi to me as well.” He petted your belly, and as if on cue, your baby kicked against his palm, and Minho chuckled.

His confession of love turned you into a sobbing mess again, and unable to speak, you just touched Minho’s hand on your stomach and squeezed it.

“I’m serious, Dal-Rae. If you feel the same, and want to be with me… then please, please don’t leave me, okay? Don’t think about it… Please.”

“But-” You choked back a sob and forced yourself to talk. You wondered how he knew.

But then again, he’s been observing you so closely, he’s been so careful with you… you started wondering why you thought he wouldn’t know.

“Amelia will be here soon, and… and then what?” You asked in a whisper.

Your whole body started to tremble, and the anxiety was eating away at you.

“Do you really want to call her Amelia?” Minho asked quietly, but you could sense a smile behind his words.

“Of course. It’s a beautiful name, and it’s precious to you…”

“She will come, and we will take care of her together. I’ve already decided that I want both of you in my life, if only you’d let me.”

You stood silent for a few seconds to process his words. You knew Minho would’ve let you stay with him and care for the baby for as long as you needed, but you would’ve never in a million years expected that he would want to be a permanent part of your life, and more importantly, Amelia’s.

There was so much uncertainty in your life, and Minho just confessed he wanted to be something certain to you. You really didn’t know how to react to that.

“I don’t want you to feel stuck.” He continued. “And I won’t pressure you into anything. If you want to leave, you have options. I will help set you up in another apartment. We can look together into what areas are best for kindergartens… Chris also messaged me earlier today to let me know about a possible work-from-home accountant job, and he said he’d pull some strings for you to get the job if you want it in a few months. His way of apologising, I guess.”

You continued staying silent. You could actually leave. All the things that held you in place until now have been easily solved even without you knowing about it. Minho would help you out with an apartment, Chris found you a job, and even better, it was remote, so you could stay home with Amelia and take care of her without any issues.

“So, you can think about it, and do whatever you think is best for you and the baby, hm?”

“Minho… what?” You frowned. Although Minho provided you with an opportunity to get the life you desired once you left your ex, his words pained you.

The way he offered you an ‘escape route’, as if he would be the one to burden you and make you feel suffocated, didn’t sit right with you.

“You don’t want me to feel stuck? But… Minho… aren’t you the one who could end up feeling stuck because of me?”

“Dal-Rae… no. Definitely not. I never for a second thought that you would make me feel stuck…”

“…Why?”

“Hm?”

“I… I don’t want you to feel stuck.”

“Again, I could never-” He started, but you cut him off.

“Why are you like this, hm? Why do you like me so much? I’m just… I’m no one important. I’m not particularly smart, I don’t have any money, I also come with a pretty big baggage that’s going to be with me for at least the next 18 years. Whereas you… you have everything: a good support system, your own business, which is going so well, a happy life-”

“I don’t have everything.” He cut you off. “I like you, because you are that one missing puzzle piece I don’t have.”

“Really?” You cried silently. “But how…?”

“Yes. Really. When I’m with you, I feel… I feel at peace, and I feel like we go so well together. I’ve never felt so… at ease, next to someone else. Ever. Not even with Jess, who I’ve been with for a couple of years. That’s why.”

“What about… your friends? I mean, they are right. This is, essentially, another man’s child. It’s not your responsibility…” You decided to press further.

“Dal-Rae… I am very aware that Amelia is part of the package deal.” He chuckled softly. “I love her just as much as I love you because she is yours. I don’t care that someone else helped conceive her. I also don’t care about what other people say. I know how I feel. Isn’t that what truly matters?”

“Yeah.” You nodded. You were still crying, but how could you not, when Minho was telling you everything you’ve ever wanted to hear?

God, how did he become such a large part of your heart in such little time?

“Sure, I never thought that I’d become a father so suddenly, but I’d gladly raise her as my own, if you want me in your life. I already love her as if she was mine, anyway. And she’s named after my grandmother, don’t forget that.”

“Of course.” You chuckled and pressed your back into his, searching for more warmth.

“Look, you don’t have to make any decisions now-”

“I want to stay with you...” You whispered and buried your head in the pillow. Admitting it out loud made your heart beat quickly, and even though Minho’s been confessing his naked feelings for the past 10 minutes, a small part of your brain still feared rejection.

“Okay…” Minho whispered and kissed the back of your head.

“I really, really want to stay with you. I love you so much…” You sobbed in your pillow, and Minho hugged you tighter, pressing a kiss against your shoulder.

“I’m so happy you feel the same, Dal-Rae.”

“But…” You turned around, looking into his eyes.

The room was dark, but the moonlight was right above your window, giving you enough light to see his sparkling eyes.

“Maybe Amelia won’t be a girl. Then what? You’ll lose all your rights, she won’t be named after your grandmother anymore.” You joked and touched his cheek softly, and he grabbed your hand and kissed it.

“Hmm, yeah. That’s concerning. If it’s a boy…”

“Since I’ve already promised Han to make him the godfather… maybe Jisung could work?”

“Look at you, I’m confessing my undying love for you, and you’re thinking of naming our baby after another man.” Minho laughed, but all you could focus on was our baby.

You instinctively reached out to him and pressed your lips on his, and although surprised, he didn’t hesitate to reciprocate the kiss.

“Our baby… I like the sound of that.” You smiled against his lips.

“Mhm. Me too. I can’t wait to meet her. Or him.”

“Minho is simply the coolest name out there. But you’ve already taken it, so we can’t name our child that. Ugh, it’s so unfair that it’s yours.” You chuckled and there were no words that could describe the happiness bubbling in your stomach.

“Right?! That’s what I’m saying!” He laughed as well. “But, I mean… we could always call him Minho Jr. It’s not that bad.”

“It isss!” You laughed and playfully pushed him, but he was quick to grab your forearm and turn you on your back, getting above you.

He moved down and placed his head steadily on your belly, and so you also moved your hand on his head, caressing his hair.

Even now, he was still so considerate to not accidentally hurt you. He didn’t put any weight on your stomach, and you thought about how uncomfortable it must’ve been for his neck to simply hold his head’s weight like that above you, without it pressing on your belly.

You just stayed like that for a while, playing with his hair and massaging his scalp. Once in a while, Amelia would kick against him, and Minho would exclaim something in surprise and press his fingers on the spot she would hit.

You were truly happy. It’s safe to say you’ve never felt as happy as you did now. Meeting Minho was truly a chance of fate; it felt like he’s been sent to your life to make up for all the bad things that had ever happened to you, and your chest was so full of love, it hurt.

“Is she always so active at night?”

“Yeah, it’s hard to sleep sometimes.”

“Amelia, baby, please let mommy sleep. She needs to rest while she still can, before you come.”

“Yeah. What am I going to do when she’s here? No more rest for the wicked!”

“Which reminds me. When we go home, we should turn the empty bedroom into a nursery, shouldn’t we? We should be prepared.” Minho raised his head and plopped himself back next to you.

“There’s a lot of things to buy… I think the most important would be a crib, a stroller…”

“A bassinet, changing table, humidifier, toys, car seat… hmmm, what else?” Minho added.

“Those are not really essentials.” You chuckled. “Except for the car seat.”

“Rocking chair, changing pad-” He ignored you and kept going, before you cut him off.

“Minho, we don’t need to buy so many things. How do you even know so many objects?”

“No, Dal-Rae, this is important. We need to spoil this baby with everything possible. It’s our first child, after all. Oh, and I know because I helped Chris buy them when Olivia was too overwhelmed to go shopping.”

“You’re such a good friend.”

“You’ve just figured it out?” He laughed.

“How did you meet Chris, by the way?”

“Oh, we went to the same high school.” He shrugged. “We were part of the same club and we bonded over dance and music, and also, it helped that Olivia and Jess were best friends. We used to hang out a lot because of those two.”

“Mhm.” You nodded and hummed in understanding.

“However, I wasn’t entirely aware that we were truly friends until Jess left. He really helped me pick myself back up, and he helped me open the restaurant… that’s when I found out I can truly rely on him.”

“That’s so amazing. I’m glad you have him.” You smiled and caressed Minho’s hair.

“Anyways, where were we? Hamper, white noise machine-”

“Okay, okay. I get it.” You chuckled. “We’ll buy everything you want us to buy, you win.”

“I always do.” He grabbed your hand and kissed it tenderly. “It’s late, and I bet you’re really tired.” He said after seeing you yawn.

“Yeah… we should go to sleep”

“Mhm. Good night, Dal-Rae.”

“Night.”

Now Playing: One Of The Guys- Jessia

Saturday morning

After the album dropped last night the guys had been in a frenzy to get everything going. Going on music core today and a variety show tonight. The packed schedule began. As you sat at the counter eating and having the show pulled up awaiting your friends stage you get a call from Chan. “Hey pretty girl, you ready for tonight?” You laughed nervously, “trying to not stress about it but excited to see you.” You heard a loud commotion in the background, “what was that?!” You asked. The call ended and a FaceTime from Chan popped up in its place. You swiped to answer and were greeted with Wooyoung’s face. “BUBS” he screeched into the phone, busting your ear drum in the process.

You could hear Chan laughing, “I had to bring Minho something and figured you’d want to say hi!” He added from behind the phone. You smiled, “thank you Channie, how’s it going boys?” You asked to no one in particular. “Y/n!!!” Was yelled back at you as the others gathering around the phone. “How are my boys? Working hard? Did you eat?” You asked, worry settling in. They all looked drained and it was only day one of the madness. “Yes we ate, and Chan Hyung brought us snacks as well.” Jongho said. The phone pointed towards. Chan would was sitting in a chair looking on happily as you got to speak with your friends.

You heard a beeping sound and all the members faces changed, “we have to go bubs! Watch us okay! “ Wooyoung yelled into the phone as he handed it back to Chan. “Have fun, go kill it!” You yelled as they all gathered at the door. As Chans face came back into focus you smiled at him widely. “Thank you Channie. That might be the only time I’ll get to actually see them for a while.” Chan said his goodbyes to your friends, walking out the door you caught Joong eyes and waved quickly before turning your eyes back to Chan. “Anything for you pretty.” You blushed deeply. Enough for Hongjoong to see it from where he was standing. A raw nagging eating at his stomach. Chalking it up to nerves he put on his game face. Not letting you distract him from work.

You got off the phone with Chan and went back to the screen ready to start the show and support the guys. Glad you lived alone in times like this as you screamed your heart out to their newest song. You spent the rest of the morning playing their new album while cleaning and dancing around your apartment. You and Wooyoung had already picked out an outfit for dinner tonight. Around 2 you started baking a cake to take to them. You knew Felix was making his famous brownies, you were so excited to get to try them. But you also didn’t want to show up empty handed. Not matter how many times Chan said it was fine. So you pulled out your go to cake recipe and go to work.

As you walked to Chans dorm you tried not to fidget too much. Your nerves were kicking in and by the time you got to the door you were fully hyperventilating. You sat the cake down and reached for your phone. Mindlessly scrolling for Joong or Wooyoung you had to remind yourself that they wouldn’t be able to help you right now. You clicked Chans contact and prayed he would answer. “Hey are you here.” You tried to get some air in your lungs, “y-yeah.” You stammered out. Chan was quiet for a minute then you heard a door close. “Are you outside? I’m coming down.” You stayed on the phone while sitting beside your cake. You had just put your head in your hands, calming down when the door busted open behind you. “Y/n, pretty girl are you okay?” Chan asked crouching down in front you of.

You looked up, finally able to breathe normally and shook your head. “Apparently I’m more nervous than I let myself believe.” You said trying to lighten the mood. “Baby we don’t have to go inside until you are okay.” He said and you tried to stand, legs a little shaky. “I’m alright Channie.” You said and you reached down to grab the cake. “I made yall something!” Chan reached over and took the cake box from you and grabbed your hands in one of his. “Y/n, I know you are nervous so if you start to get anxious or feel even somewhat uncomfortable please let me know so I can help.” You smiled at him and nodded. “They are going to love you.” He added opening the door and leading you inside.

As you walked up the stairs to their dorm you could feel your hands start to shake. You reached forward and grabbed Chans hand intertwining your fingers. He soothingly rubbed his thumb over the back of your hands, giving you a smile as you made it to his floor. “Okay they are loud and chaotic and Seungmin will tease me. Don’t believe a word he says.” Chan said as you made your way to his door. You could see his ears turning red. “Chan are you nervous?” You asked, slight chuckle in your voice. “These boys are my life y/n, they are chaotic and messy but they quite literally saved me. And I want you to like them and for them to like you because I would really like for you to become apart of my life as well.” His ears were bright red at this point.

You stopped Chan before he opened the door, “Chan I have put up with Ateez for the last seven years. I can handle 8 rowdy boys. And I want them to like me too, i would really like to become a part of your everyday life.” You said, a blush creeping up into your cheeks. Chan smiled at you, cupping your face in his hands. He swiped his thumb over the redness of your cheek, “so cute pretty girl.” He chuckled. He started to lean towards you and you could feel your heart racing, he was a breath away from you when the door swung open. “Oh my god! My eyes!” Someone started yelling. “The old man was kissing her. I’m gonna be sick.” Chan dropped his head, “Kim Seungmin I’m gonna kill you.” He called as he lead you into the dorms. All seven of the members now staring at you.

Being around Stray Kids was just as chaotic if not more than Ateez. You knew Changbin going into it so that made it easier. Soon after you shut the door he broke the silence of everyone staring at you and tackled you with a hug. Everyone else warmed up immediately, like you had always been there. Like you belonged. You walked with Chan and Minho into the kitchen and asked if you could help before you were nicely kicked out by the cook.

“Good luck with that.” He said as he shooed you towards the 6 boys yelling at a video game. You went and stood behind the couch next to Chan. He immediately pulled you in front of him, sandwiching you between him and the couch. Felix and Jeongin struggling to complete a level, “Felix never gets past this level. It’s just sad at this point.” Han said to you, you looked down to find the boy on the couch below you staring. More so at where his leader had his head resting on your shoulder, arms tightly wrapped around you.

You gave him a smile, “Chan I’m sure she’s not going to go running. You don’t have to hold her so tight.” Chan hid his face into your shoulder as all the younger members turned to look at you. You laughed, “you spoke so highly of them outside, you still standing by that?” He shook his head no, “they are all dead to me.” Hyunjin gasped, throwing himself into the chair, “betrayal, I’ve done nothing wrong.” “Betrayal is that hair color on you.” Seungmin snapped back flicking the older boys hair as he walked by.

Hyunjin looked at Chan with a pout on his face, making you laugh. “Can we have a peaceful night. For once please.” Chan says exasperated. “Oh where’s the fun in that. Y/n can handle Wooyoung, she’ll be fine with us.” Changbin says throwing you a wink. “Right your friends with Hyung Hongjoong and Wooyoung.” Felix says. “I am, I was friends with them before they debuted.” You said with a smile. “I thought you were Hongjoong’s sister…” Jeongin said. “No, we’re all just friends, Wooyoungie is the closest to being my brother.” They all nodded and you felt Chans hand give yours a squeeze. The conversation went back to teasing Felix for his lack of gaming ability until Minho called everyone to eat.

The rest of the night was a dance between playing games and who could embarrass Chan the most. Changbin having the most stories easily won that competition, having Chan burrowing his head inside his hood, only seeing the redness of his cheeks and neck. You learned a lot about the group and Chan throughout the night. You were right in the way that they all adore him. The love shining through all the jokes and the way they talk about him when he left the room. Politely questioning your intentions with their oldest. The cutest was the way Chan looked at his members, clearly adoring them. Quietly taking care of them, putting more food on their plates when they weren’t looking, making sure everyone was heard and got to say what they wanted. It was such a safe and loving environment that Chan had created.

As the night continued you saw how comforting this place was, all the members taking a liking to you. As you packed up to leave, Felix and Jeongin following you around like little ducks helping you carry anything. “Do you have to leave Noona?” Jeongin asked quietly. “You can stay!” Felix added excitedly. You laughed, “I need to go home and get some sleep guys.” Jeongin looked at you with the biggest puppy eyes he could muster, “yah leave her alone and get ready. I’m not waiting on you and I know you don’t like walking home in the dark Innie.” Minho scolded the younger two lightly pushing them towards the kitchen. You smiled at him, “thank you for dinner Minho, it was delicious.” He gave you a slight nod, “I saved some of the brownies and your cake. It’s packed up for you in the kitchen.” You bowed slightly, “thank you again.” He smiled and walked outside the youngest three following behind him waving bye to you as they passed.

Chan walked up behind you wrapped his arms around your waist, “you got Minho to like you, that’s impressive.” You nudged him slightly with your elbow, “you said they’d all love me. Did you doubt my abilities?” He laughed, “never pretty girl, just impressed. Minho is the toughest to crack besides Seungmin. But he was a sucker for you the second you called me out for blushing. Which I will repay later by the way.” He said, his breath tickling the shell of your ear. You turned to look at him, his lips inches from yours.

You heard a click, suppressing a smile as you saw Hyunjin with his camera trying to slide away before Chan could catch him. You held onto Chan a little tighter giving the younger boy a chance to get away. Hyunjin yelled a thank you as his door shut. “I get no peace in this house.” Chan whispered against your cheek. You hummed in agreement, “tragic life you live here Bang Chan.” You said quietly. You wanted to turn and look at him but with his forehead gently resting against your head and his lips slightly grazing your cheek you didn’t see the need to rush.

You saw Changbin out of the corner of your eye, rolling your eyes, you tapped Chans arm. Chan caught in the trance of you didn’t move, just pulled you tighter to him. Turning you around to face him, wrapping his arms back around your waist. You lost sight of Bin as you looked up at Chan, arms going around his neck. Your fingers curled into the hair at his nap, the little curls circling your fingertips. Chan pressed his forehead to yours. “Are you busy tomorrow pretty girl?” “Nothing too serious, just market.” You said quietly. “Spend the day with me.” He said as his fingers traced designs onto your back. You hummed stepping closer to him, no space between your bodies. “My pretty girl.” He said as he pressed a kiss to your head. Your smile broke out, and you heard the click of a camera. Chan looked up and sighed deeply making you laugh.

Wooyoung was sitting in the van riding back to the dorms when a text came through. He grabbed his phone and swiped seeing the text from you wishing him luck and a new text from Changbin. Attached was a picture of you and Chan. The man pressing a kiss to your head and you with the brightest smile he has seen on you in years. Wooyoung must’ve started smiling seeing you happy, when Mingi smacked his leg eyebrow raised. Woo flipped the phone around showing Mingi the picture.

Hongjoong turned to say something to the younger ones, caught sight of the picture and felt like someone had punched him in the gut. Turning back around quickly. “I haven’t seen her smile like that in a while.” Mingi whispered to Wooyoung, careful not to wake a sleeping Yeo. Wooyoung nodded his head, “Chan Hyung is good for her.” Hongjoong tried his best to keep his face neutral but could feel the scowl twisting his face up. Throwing his hood up he turned and looked out the window. Not noticing the worried look the younger boys were giving each other.

As Ateez cars pulled up to the dorms Hongjoong stormed inside. “What got into him?” Hwa asked looked at Wooyoung. “I have no clue.” Wooyoung said. Hwa shrugged his shoulder, “we’ll figure it out tomorrow.” He added as he guided everyone inside. Wooyoung shot Changbin a text back and waited. Hoping your night with them went well. His friend answered as Wooyoung laid down, “he’s smitten but I’m convinced the rest of the kids want her to be the new mom. Even Minho loved her but I think it’s because she complimented his cooking and his cats.” Wooyoung laughed, he couldn’t wait to hear your side of the story.

Peppermint Kisses

Seungmin (O.de) x Female! Reader

Requested: Hi~ For the 12 days of Winter I would love #3: “If I give you this peppermint kiss, will you give me a real one?” If it's still available, with O.de x female reader please🥹 Thanks in advance 🤍

Prompt: 3. “If I give you this peppermint kiss, will you give me a real one?”

[A/n: It’s pretty gender neutral, but it is based on a female reader!]

------

Seungmin invites you to go Christmas shopping with him and picks you up. You listen to the soft rock music he has playing, “So, what’s new with you and the boys?” He sighs, “We’ve been practicing for our tour, so it’s a little stressful. So, I planned to get away from all of that today.” You ask, “Wouldn’t you want to do that alone?” He shakes his head, “Your company isn’t overpowering, and I like your opinion on things I go to buy.” You smile and agree with his sentiment. He asks you about your job, and you tell him how it’s going and how you’re glad you get a break from it all to spend time with him.

He parks as close as he can, and you both exit and hustle inside, freezing. In the mall, “So, what’s the game plan?” He smiles and looks at the various stores, “What if we start with the big department stores?” You nod, “Then, we'll do our stocking stuffers separately?” He nods, “You read my mind.” You both head over to Macy’s and take the escalator to the backstage. You dig through the selections, picking out and gathering a few things. You find two beautiful cable-knit sweaters and ask, “You think Jungsu would like this sweater or this sweater better?” You hold up the two options, and he points to the latter navy-colored one. You place it in your arms and peruse the area more, picking up a few things.

When you spot the perfect lilac shirt for Seungmin, hide it amongst your pile before he can see it. He asks, “Black with red stripes or red with black stripes for a scarf for Jiseok?” “Red stripe, he can wear it with his bolder outfits. But it doesn’t overpower them.” He agrees and throws the scarf into his ever-growing pile. It takes a while before you both decide to check out. You get in line first and watch Seungmin stop and grab a hoodie. He gets in line and shows you, and you ask, "For Hyeongjun?" He nods, you smile at him, and the person calls for the next person in line. You head over and tell the person to hide the purple sweater, making eyes at Seungmin, and they nod and quickly scan it in between two items. They wink at you and put it into the bag.

You make it out with a good bundle, walk to the next store, and take the escalator to the third level. You look around, “Do we really want to look at blankets and appliances?” He shakes his head, “I think we were supposed to go the opposite way.” You both nod before immediately heading down to the first level. You walk through the perfume department together. And instead of gagging as you would as a kid. You both peruse, and you catch him smelling a cologne, but he doesn’t ask for an opinion. He just nods to himself and walks away from it. You sneakily walk over and make a mental note to pick it up later. And at last, you both spot the perfect one for Gunil. You both go in halves and look through the rest of the departments.

He asks, “I think Jooyeon would like this tank top, do you?” You look over and giggle, “‘This is my beach bod’?” with fake muscles on the tee. The two of you cackle before he hangs it back up and finds something better for him. And continue spotting more things to buy for Seungmin once you leave. You keep seeing gifts you’d like to receive, which doesn’t go unnoticed by him. Out of your line of sight he picks up the things you’ve stopped to look at for yourself. Hiding them in between things he got for his friends.

As you exit, you ask, “Want to split up for a while and meet up in the food court?” He agrees, and you two split up in the middle of the mall. When he’s out of sight, you go back and grab the clothing and perfume you wanted to get him. Afterward, you pop into various shops, getting cute stocking stuffers. You check off your lists for your friends and family as you circle around.

Once you’ve finished, exiting out of the music store, your phone rings. You answer with a, “Hey!” And you hear Seungmin’s voice go, “Ready to meet me in the food court?” You agree, and he tells you where he’s sitting, and you head over to him. As you sit across from him in the food court, tired from your endless shopping, he pulls out a bag of peppermint kisses. You look at him with raised eyebrows, “Where did you get those from?” He points to the chocolate shop you had passed up a few times. You look back at the bag and ask, “Can I have one?” You can see the smirk overcoming his features as he says, “If I give you this peppermint kiss, will you give me a real one?” Which causes you to splutter, “Wh-What?!” And he quickly backtracks, “You don’t have to! I just- I um-.” You shake off your initial shock and hold your hand out, and he awkwardly places one in your hand, “So, do you want it now or later?” He looks around the food court, and his cheeks are red as the ornaments on the tree behind him. He whispers, “Now?” You grin before eating the kiss he gave you to freshen your breath. Before getting up and standing in front of him, “You sure?” He nods, and you lift his chin, placing the gentlest kiss on his lips.

You move back from him and feel him place another in your hand, which makes you laugh as he pulls you in for a deeper kiss. When you both pull away, he whispers, “I’ve wanted to kiss you for so long.” You blush, “Me too.” You sit across from him again, and he shares his peppermint kisses a bit more with you before you both stand up, and he shyly holds out his arm for you. You slowly slide your arm through and pick up your gift bags.

You're putting your bags into his trunk when he asks, “Do you want to see a movie in the theater?” You smile and nod, “I’d love to.” You lean against his shoulder as he orders the tickets. And before you can pull out your card to split the purchase, he’s already bought them. You shake your head at him, pay for the popcorn, and head to your theater. As you sit down and wait for others to filter in, he pulls out the peppermint kiss bag, “Do you want to share this time?” You grin, and with a blush coating your cheeks, you say, “Only if you’ll share the real deal~” He smiles, “Okay.” When the movie starts, you notice you’re the only two scheduled in the theater. You spend most of the movie trading ‘peppermint’ kisses and eating popcorn.

As the ending credits roll up and the lights come on. You pull away from your last kiss and giggle at each other’s swollen lips. You ask, “Did you catch what the movie was about?” And he shakes his head, “Me neither.” You get up, and he follows you out of the theater, and you say, “I guess we’ll just have to see it again together.”

You look back and smile at him, and he says, “I'd like that.” You throw away the empty popcorn bag, and he slides his arm around your waist. He holds you close as the chilly wind whips through the air, keeping you warm on your walk back to the car. He opens your door, and after you get in, he closes it, quickly hops in, and turns his engine over. You wait for the cold car to warm up after the heat comes on, and he turns out of the lot. You bump his empty right hand a few times, and he smiles as he realizes what you're doing before taking your hand in his.

As he drives back, you realize your Christmas wish has come true. You're finally dating Seungmin, and all is right in the world. You press your fingers to your lips and think, 'Yeah, it's real, and my lips sure are swollen'. You feel him squeeze your hand and look at him, and he grins, “This is going to be my favorite Christmas.” You tilt your head at him, “Why?” His grin grows brighter as he says, “Because I get to spend it with you.” You giggle and tell him, “You're my Christmas wish come true.”

The golden hues of the setting sun painted the sky as Seungmin and you walked side by side along the beach. The gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore created a soothing symphony, filling the comfortable silence between you two. You had always loved the beach, and Seungmin knew this, which is why he suggested this place after a long day at school.

Seungmin was known for being a tease to everyone else, but not with you. With you, he was different. He was caring, gentle, and attentive. It was something you cherished deeply, but also something that made the butterflies in your stomach flutter wildly whenever he was near. You couldn't help but feel nervous, the fear of losing your friendship holding you back from expressing how you truly felt.

Seungmin glanced at you, noticing the way the setting sun cast a warm glow on your face. He had been harboring feelings for you for as long as he could remember, but the fear of ruining the special bond you shared kept him silent. He admired your intelligence, your passion for learning, and the way you could get lost in a book for hours. To him, you were perfect.

"Hey, nerd," Seungmin teased lightly, nudging your shoulder with his own. "What's on your mind?"

You rolled your eyes at the nickname, but a smile tugged at your lips. "Nothing much, just enjoying the view."

"Me too," Seungmin replied, his gaze fixed on you. "The view's pretty great."

Your heart skipped a beat at his words, and you turned to face him, your eyes meeting his. There was something different in his gaze, something that made your heart race even faster.

"Seungmin, there's something I've been wanting to tell you," you began, your voice trembling slightly. "But I'm scared."

Seungmin's expression softened, and he took a step closer to you. "What is it? You can tell me anything."

You took a deep breath, summoning all your courage. "I... I have feelings for you. I know it's risky, and I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I can't keep it to myself anymore."

For a moment, Seungmin was silent, processing your words. Then, a wide smile spread across his face, and he reached out to gently cup your cheek. "I feel the same way," he confessed, his voice filled with sincerity. "I've been scared to tell you too, afraid of losing what we have. But I can't keep it in any longer."

Relief washed over you, and you felt tears of happiness welling up in your eyes. "Really?"

"Really," Seungmin confirmed, leaning in closer. "You're my best friend, and I don't want to lose that. But I also want to be more than just friends. I want to be with you."

Before you could respond, Seungmin closed the distance between you, capturing your lips in a tender kiss. The world around you seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of you, wrapped in each other's warmth.

As you pulled away, you rested your forehead against his, a smile playing on your lips. "I guess we don't have to be scared anymore."

"Not anymore," Seungmin agreed, his eyes shining with love. "We'll figure it out together."

Hand in hand, you continued your walk along the beach, the fear that had once held you back now replaced with a newfound sense of hope and excitement for the future.

Preview:

Bam leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk as he folded his fingers together.

“Are either of you aware of what exactly your role as the group manager entails? How the guys being incubi comes into play?”

“I mean…” Maddie began hesitantly, glancing at her best friend for only a moment before answering. “We’re just managing the idol schedules, right? And I guess they’re uh- feeding , I’m sure we have to do that, too… making sure they’re like, safe and stuff?”

“I mean, yeah -” Bam looked amused by her answer, laughing a little. “But do you have any idea why we’re hiring young and single women this time… instead of the usual?”

Maddie had been wondering that, if she was being honest, but she hadn’t spent a lot of time thinking it over; she was honestly still shocked she was even there .

But Lila was different, adjusting in her seat as she smiled tentatively.

“So we can be there to help?” Lila guessed, although she had a feeling she was right.

Bam’s smile widened as he nodded.

“Yes; in case of emergency, we need you two as our back-up.”

Maddie’s mouth dropped open in shock.

"When you say back-up , are you saying-?"

"Yes," Bam grinned, nodding again. "In case of emergency, you'll be their sex partners if needed."

The man continued before either of them could speak.

“So, the thing is, we’ve been having a bit of an issue with the idols lately,” Bam began. “Schedules are tight, they’re traveling all the time, and when there’s an emergency and they need to feed… we don’t have back-up.”

He ran a hand through his hair quickly.

“Getting a feeding partner isn’t a quick business- I’ll give you guys all the details on that later-” he waved his hand dismissively. “And when the idols are in a pinch, it can get complicated pretty quickly.”

“What do you mean ‘ in a pinch ’?” Maddie interrupted.

“Incubi can’t survive without feeding for very long,” Bam explained. “The more energy they use- which the idols use a lot - the more they have to feed. They also have healing abilities, but they have to feed to trigger them, so if there’s an injury on stage, or if one of them has been working too hard and can’t get a partner due to time or something…”

The man shrugged.

“It’s kind of a problem.”

He moved the clipboard with their applications to the side, his forearms falling to the desk.

“It’s been an issue for like, ever ,” he told them. “But the government finally gave us permission to start hiring younger managers.”

Maddie tore her eyes from Bam, turning to Lila in surprise.

“You… knew ?”

Lila shrugged, feeling slightly guilty; she thought her best friend had figured it out already.

“I mean, why else would they ask if we’re young and single?” she replied honestly. “Why would that matter unless…?”

She trailed off and Maddie nodded, feeling kind of stupid.

“Right…”

“You two will be the first to do this,” Bam was grinning as he looked between them. “Kind of like our guinea pigs, if you know what I mean.”

They both chuckled somewhat nervously.

“I honestly think it’s going to be a good fit,” he told them nonchalantly, leaning back in his chair again. “But there is one more thing you’ve gotta do in order for me to hire you.”

Maddie and Lila looked at one another before turning back to the man, watching him smile somewhat playfully.

“We need to test your resistance to Incubus powers.”

Idiots in Love - Han Jisung

Han Jisung X FemReader

summary: the title says it all.

No warning? Not proof read.

__________________________

"You're so cute."

"huh?"

"I said you look like a fruit."

"What in the world Han Jisung." yn laughed slapping his arms as she sat beside him on the sofa.

Saturdays were meant for the boys. That's what Han firmly believes in. But when his crush/ girl best friend/ situation ship calls him on the phone for 'emergency' purposes (which somehow involves watching a movie) the boys are no longer the priority.

"You still haven't told me why you called."

"You're trying to change the topic-"

"I'll leave your ass alone if you try to bully me."

yn couldn't help but grin snuggling closer to him, hands wrapped around his biceps and head on his shoulder. "I just wanted to see your stupid face."

"Excuse me- Stupid? I'm gorgeous." Han scoffed pretending to push her off. "Changbin was right bros before hoes. I Shouldn't have come to your aid."

"You know I know that you love hanging out with me." Yn said picking up the tv remote. "You love hanging out with me. And so do i. So here Rewatching Shrek for the- I don't even know how many times."

Han didn't argue as he stared at her. Yn had been one of his oldest friends. They met back in middle school and stuck together since. They've watched each other grow through their lowest and highest points.

And after everything, Han couldn't deny that he wanted them to be more than just friends. Friends don't hold each other most nights while sleeping. Friends don't look at each other the way he looked at yn.

But the problem was. He couldn't confess. He tried so many times over the years to subtly let yn know. But she never took the hint. It was like she wanted him to spell it out for her.

"You're thinking." Yn interrupted his train of thoughts.

"I am."

"It's kinda unusual since Chan does most of the thinking for us all."

Han said nothing continuing to stare at her. His lips curved up at the corner slightly. "I know." He said.

yn paused the movie turning back to him "Seriously Sungie, are you okay?" She asked. "You look lost."

Jisung sighed shaking his head turning around. This was another one of those moments when he wanted to confess. He was here at yn's house. She was in his arms. If he got rejected, then this would be over. He would lose yn. That was the only thing that stopped him from ever saying anything.

His feelings were not worth it. It was not worth it. He'd rather never confess than lose yn.

His bandmates seem to disagree. Specially Hyunjin. "Dude. I'm telling you. I get the vibe that yn likes you too. Go for it."

But Hyunjin was a hopeless romantic. And listening to his advice would be a bad decision for him.

"Jisung." Yn called out again.

"Nothing... I'm just tired from practice."

"You looked fine 20 min-"

"yn. Really it's nothing."

"It's not nothing if its bothering you."

"last night I was bothered thinking about the gold fish I lost when I was five. How will you say that it's not nothing?."

yn knew Han like that back of her hand. He always had a tough time vocalising his feelings. He always considered his thoughts as pointless. "You can tell me later. It's okay." She put her head back on his shoulder.

"I can't."

"Why?" She asked looking up at her. "Does it involve me somehow?"

Han nodded, kissing the top of her head. "It involves me? Wait... Are you actually sad cause I called you today..." Yn pulled back. "I know you were hanging out with the boys but I was just-"

"And they say I'm the overthinker." Han laughed. "I don't hate you yn. It's nothing... I just came up with some lyrics."

"Stop lying."

"What makes you think so?"

"You get crazy when you come up with a song. You're scrambling around for a piece of paper and pen. You have a look in your face." Yn said with a small shrug and Jisung couldn't help but smile.

"Do I?" He asked with a small laugh. He never expected her to notice so many details. "Are you like obsessed with me or something?" He joked pulling her towards him.

"You're making it weird Han."

"How am I making it weird?" He laughed. "I always hug my friends and kiss my homies goodnight."

"I hate you." Yn laughed along. "But in all seriousness. Are you okay?"

"I... Maybe. There's just a lot of things on my mind." Han said with a small shrug. "I don't know..."

"You're confused?"

"Kinda like that. I don't know how to deal with something. Like there's something I want to do. But I'm sacred."

"Being scared is for the losers." Yn laughed. I'm not the best person for advice but. If you want to do something. You should go ahead and do it. You'll have my support no matter what."

"What if it's something very stupid?"

"You're always doing something stu- I'M KIDDING!" She exclaimed when he tried to tickle her.

"And what if I say I like you?"

"I like you too what's the big deal?"

"No. What if I like like you?" He asked again this time turning around to face her fully.

"Hannie-"

"I like you yn. A lot. It's so hard for me to pretend I don't."

"Then... I'd say I like you too."

"I'm not joking yn."

"Han Jisung." Yn smiled. "I like you... Since we were in highschool when you took me to prom. You were always special to me... I just never thought you'd.... You'd like me back..." He voice got quite at the end.

"What- YN! I literally always call you cute. I always spend time with you- Everyone in our friend group knew that I liked you!"

"BUT YOU SAID I LOOK LIKE A SQUID AND YOU'D RATHER DATE SQUIDWARD!"

"YFN THAT WAS A JOKE!"

"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!"

Han couldn't help but smile. "We're idiots." He laughed shaking his head. "Do you wanna be my idiot though?"

Yn grinned before pretending to think.

"Ynnie."

"Yes. I'd like that."

"Damn it was that easy? I now have a girlfriend?"

"You're such a loser. But my loser."
