May I request a poly skz + reader, or just Minsung or Chanlix/Hyunlix if you want, totally up to you. Reader relatively new to the relationship and is trying their best to be the best partner to all parties, but doesnât feel like itâs being returned. They feel like skz (or whichever ship you choose) is too into each other and not them, like the shiny new toy isnât exciting anymore. One night, after everyone goes to sleep, reader gets their things and leaves without saying anything. You can change the plot a bit if youâd like. If youâre not comfortable with writing it, thatâs ok!đ©”
all characters depicted in my writing are from my own imagination and do NOT in any way represent nor reflect the people in real life :)
â©pairing: minsung x gn!reader
â©genre(s): angst, poly!skz
â©warnings: none
â©wc: 0.6k (655)
â©authorâs note: sorry this took so long, i hope it was even a fraction of what you wanted!
â©part(s): next
You are exhausted. To put it plainly. You just donât know how much more you can take. Of course you love the boys, you really do. However something has shifted, and not for the better.
First you started noticing small changes. When Jisung and Minho would come back late from practice, they would usually bring you a sweet treat followed by kisses and cuddles to make up for the lost time. Now itâs barely even a âSorry weâre home late.â
You arenât used to this, used to feeling like an afterthought in your own relationship. Then again, you werenât quite sure how well it was going to go between the three of you. They were already so in tune with each other and then you came along.
They made you feel like the missing piece. The rarest jewel to add to their shiny golden crown. You didnât think it was possible to be truly loved by two people, nor did you think you could love two people as much as you do them.
The tender care and appreciation that came from the both of them was nothing short of remarkable. The intimacy that was shared between the three of you was never overwhelming.
You love Minho. You love Jisung. They love you.
At least, they loved you.
When it was once you in the middle, being doted on each side by the boys you adored. You now reside on the outside as they cuddle each other, a pity hand resting upon your thigh.
When it was once you who ran you fingers through both of their hair as they melted into your touch. You now get told âYou donât have to do that tonight.â âYou seem tired you should get some rest.â âItâs alright, Iâll do it for him.â
When it was once a trio. It now falls back into the familiar routine of when you werenât even a blimp in their lives. Minho and Jisung against the world, oh and Y/n.
âDo you guys still love me?â You would ask timidly.
âOf course we do Y/n! Why would you think such a thing?â
You thought you had done something wrong. Why were they pushing you away? Even when you increased the amount of love you were giving them, you didnât get anything back.
You were always at the tail end of the relationship. It only became clear to you now.
You still love them. Of course you do. How could you not?
But you are no fool. You are not one to be strung along like a little pet on a leash. You know when you arenât wanted. When you, the jewel, were not quite glued in securely and fell out of the crown.
Perhaps it always looked better with only the two jewels. Perhaps you were there as a tester, to see what it would look like.
New and exciting, glamorous and beautiful. It was what they neededâŠuntil they didnât.
As you lay at the edge of the bed, the two of them cuddling beside you, you quietly unwrap yourself from the sheets. You grab your already packed bag that was in the wardrobe.
They didnât even notice your toothbrush was gone when they came home late and did their nightly routine.
Yes but they didnât even give you a kiss goodnight.
You shouldnât cry, but you canât help the tears that cascade down your cheeks.
You know it is for the best. You need to put yourself first, your feelings first.
Which is why you place the key you had to the house on the kitchen island. You donât look back as you walk out the door. Walk out of their lives.
Maybe that was what they wanted from you all along?
Maybe you just werenât ready for something like this?
Or maybe you know your worth. You know youâre worth enough to be loved as much as you love.
Ê hope you enjoyed ^.^ you can support me by liking, commenting and reblogging! it is heavily appreciated á”Ì É

a life remembered | l.mh, h.js
wc: 4.6k
genre: soulmate au; reincarnation au; fluff; angst; poly!minsung x reader
cw: primarily Han pov; illusions to suggestive conversation; concert highs; anxiety/panic attack mentions; food/eating mentions; Bee (I feel like they need a warning lol, love them the most); arguing but bc they care (not between the soulmates); please let me know if I missed anything
part one: a life forgotten

Soulmates are a curious thing. Everyone has them, and someway, somehow, they always find each other.
When Lee Minho walked into JYP Entertainment for the first time, Jisung didnât know what to do or how to react, and looking back on it now, it was comical. Minho was, in Jisungs opinion, one of, if not the most, handsome man heâd ever seen. It had struck a chord in him heâd chosen to interpret as jealousy.
When Chan told him he wanted to include Minho in the group he was creating, Jisung couldnât decide if he was giddy or nervous. Heâd met the other boy twice and couldnât shake the overwhelming feeling that they knew each other. It wasnât until their third meeting, the first one in an official capacity, to learn the song Chan wanted to showcase, that Jisung realized why.
The small space of the practice room they were designated to made the group circle a tight one, Minho rushing in and dropping to the floor in the open spot between Jisung and Felix, accidentally brushing against Jisung in the process and shooting them both headfirst into a memory both could swear wasnât theirs.
Water surrounded them in every direction, the sounds of laughter filling the air. The ship rocked gently as the waves pushed it along steadily.
Minho took Jisungs hand, leading him to the edge of the ship.Â
âWhere is your beautiful mind right now, my love?âÂ
And although it didnât feel like he was talking to Minho, and there was no response, Jisungâs smile lit up his entire face, his eyes twinkling in pure content.
âCome back to the group, love. The boys are going to start their whining if you ignore them for too long.â Minho groaned.
Again there was no response, as if a chunk of their memory for this specific moment was still missing.
âYou know how your boys can get.â Jisung waved nonchalantly, hand grasping at thin air before the two turned back to join the rest of the crew.
Practice was immediately derailed as they were brought back to the present, everyone looking worried as they surrounded the pair.
âWhat just happened?â Changbin asked, holding Jisungs shoulder to keep him steady.
âIâm not entirely sure.â Jisung couldnât stop himself from seeking out Minhoâs eyes, which were already on him, holding the softest expression Jisung has ever seen in his life.
âPlease tell me you saw the ship too.â Minho whispered, voice unsure, hand grasping Jisungs for dear life and all he could do was nod. Minho started nodding along with him, the two slowly morphing from shock to joy as smiles spread across their faces.
Tears pricked at Jisungs eyes the more the realization hit him.
âWeâre soulmates.â
````
Five years.Â
In five years, so much had changed for Han Jisung. In just five years heâd met not only the love of his life, but also his soul brothers, a realization they came to some time after the soulmate realization, as Minho and Jisung saw the rest of the members in almost all of their past lives.Â
In five years Stray Kids had also risen to a level of fame not one of them had predicted. They were living a life their younger selves could have only hoped to dream of, and they were so beyond grateful and happy to be able to keep doing music together.
But also within those five years, Minho and Jisung had come to the conclusion that something was missing. They were absolutely positive that they were soulmates, of that there was not even a shadow of a doubt, but there were too many holes in their shared memories, conversations that felt one sided, moments in bed with a gap between them that shouldn't be there if they were at peace with one another. But the confirmation that they were missing a piece came in a memory that surfaced much later than the rest, one with Jisung storming up to Minhoâs door, fist banging in anger, wedding band adorning his finger but not Minhoâs.Â
That memory was one of Jisung being angry with Minho and not even knowing who he was, with Minho knowing of Jisung but not knowing him personally, of them both being in love with a person that wasnât the other. Minho is positive heâd despise cheaters in every life, yet was accused of sleeping with a married person. Neither Jisung, nor Minho could remember Jisungs spouse's name, what they looked like, what gender they were, all they knew was that both of them loved them, and they both loved them as desperately as they love one another, and that was enough to convince them that the piece missing was a third soulmate.
They didnât know how to go about it, they couldnât even be allowed to share the truth of their relationship and thousands of Stays were claiming to be each members soulmates daily just for a chance of meeting them. The chances of finding their third and final piece was slim at absolute best.Â
People always say trust the soulmate connection and that time would bring them together, but that was hard knowing you couldnât remember someone you love.Â
Han Jisung spent far too many concerts and fan meets searching the crowd in hopes that youâd be there, that heâd finally find you and the trio would finally be complete. Likewise, heâd spent just as many nights disappointed that you were nowhere to be found. With their fame came the higher likelihood of you being able to find them, but that also meant itâd be harder for them to find you. However, Chan and his soulmate, Riley, gave Jisung hope that he would find you.
Lee Minho wanted to find you just as badly, though he looked for you in the mundane. Whilst his partner expected you to reach out via their fame, Minho hoped more for bumping into you on the sidewalk or in a coffee shop, it made him feel more attainable. Minho knew that whilst Riley and Chan made it work, and even Bee and Changbin, there were just as many people that would be scared off by celebrity soulmates as there are seeking them.Â
Another concert, another night of Jisung daydreaming about finding you in the crowd and whisking you away after to finally meet you and remember you. Riley gave Chan a knowing glare, the parental figures of the group concerned about their younger friend. Ever since the two soulmates came to the conclusion they have a third one, which isnât unheard of but is fairly rare, their friends have been doubtful to say the least.Â
No one likes seeing the kicked puppy look on Jisungs face whenever someone mentions that maybe there isnât anyone else out there, or the way Minho gets defensive when they try to talk to him about the possibility of their memories just not having fully solidified yet. Both in the firm belief that five years connected at the hip was enough time to remember everything. But that didnât stop the worried glances and strained smiles when theyâd start talking about their âother soulmateâ.
âTheyâre gonna be here tonight.â Jisung stated as if it were an absolute fact.
âYou said that last night, Sungie.â Hyunjin muttered.
âYeah, but I can feel it this time. Theyâre in the crowd right now, Iâm positive of it.â
âJi, you have an incredible soulmate already, why are you so eager to find another one?â Bee asked from their almost permanent place snuggled into Changbin. âIâm just saying, I canât imagine dealing with more than one Binnie.â
âTheyâre not another Minho, theyâre mine and Minâs missing piece.â Jisung argued. It was a conversation that felt all too familiar, and every time one of his soul brothers or other lifetime friends make comments, he feels himself getting just a little more hostile but also a little more defeated.
Maybe they were wrong, maybe there wasnât a missing piece and they truly just havenât had the best relationship in every lifetime. But Jisung couldnât bring himself to believe that. Seeing how whole Bee and Bin, and Riley and Chan, were, how they didnât have memory gaps or questionable moments and conversations, made him feel like there was no other explanation aside from another person to fill the void. It wasnât like Jisung thought Minho wasnât enough for him, he wasnât seeking more from outside their relationship, he loved Minho with every fiber of his being, but he knew Minho wasnât the only one heâd hold these feelings towards. And Minho knew it too, it was a long conversation to have, one that ended in tears but mutual understanding that they would always have each other and werenât seeking out this third person for any reason other than them wholeheartedly believing they are also their soulmate.
As the time to go on stage got closer and closer, Jisung felt more antsy. He wasnât sure why tonight felt different, but he couldnât stop fidgeting. Minho tried to calm him down, but was just as on edge.Â
The concert went smoothly, they always did, but Minho and Jisung both spent far more time engaging towards one specific area than they ever had before. Itâs like they couldnât abandon the section for longer than a few minutes and they always ended up right back there the second they could. Jisung felt better than he had in a long time, adrenaline pumping through his veins and a smile plastered on his face. He felt good, he felt whole for the first time in a long time. Jisung couldnât explain it, but that stage was the most at home heâd felt since he first found Minho.
As they said their goodbyes to Stay and made their way backstage, the overwhelming peace Jisung had felt slowly faded. He couldnât think of any reason why, but as he watched Riley smother his leader with kisses and Bee put his best friend into a headlock, he felt himself growing more numb.Â
Minho wrapped his arms around him, nuzzling into his shoulder, relieving the aching feeling sinking in so fast it would have given Jisung whiplash if he werenât already used to the other boys' affect on him, body and mind. Jisung could feel giggles bubbling up in him with each soft kiss placed on the base of his neck.
âYou were radiant out there tonight, my love.â
âAnd you were very sexy.â Jisung giggled.
âHey now! There are children present!â Riley scolded, breaking away from Chan to cover Jeonginâs ears. âGo foreplay somewhere else.â
âYeah!â Bee shouted from Changbinâs back. âThereâs dressing rooms for a reason!â
The look of absolute dismay Riley shot Bee was priceless, âThatâs not what the dressing rooms are for.âÂ
âItâs not? Did you know that bro?â
Changbins ears were red. âPlease donât call me bro while talking about this.â
âHow about we just all get showered and changed and go grab something to eat?â Chan suggested in a tone that left no room for argument, clapping his hands together and pulling Riley back towards his body. âAnd stop babying Innie, heâs worse than Bee these days.â
âI will never stop babying my baby, but I am hungry.â Riley muttered in agreement. âIf yâall take too long in the shower, weâre leaving without you.â Riley pointed at Bee and Changbin, whoâs ears somehow got even more red. Bee just winked at their best friend, shiteating grin plastered on their face.
Twenty minutes later, Jisung piled into the van with his bandmates and additional soulmates, Seungmin and Hyunjin discussing what they wanted to eat whilst Felix snuggled into Beeâs side, the two looking at memes while Changbin pouted.
Jisung felt more drained than he had in a long time, his social battery past empty and moved on to completely fried. Minho pulling him into his side eased some of the anxiousness starting to well up.
âNo panic attacks after amazing shows.â Minho whispered.
Jisung buried his head further into the other mans neck. âIâm trying.â
âI know.â He kissed the crown of his head gently, smiling softly while tightening his hold. âIâm seriously so proud of you.â
The ride was uneventful out to the opposite side of the city, in hopes less people would recognize them so they could have their meal in peace. Minho and Jisung were the last of the group to venture out of the vehicle and towards the restaurant. They didnât get too far before a voice rapping along to Hanâs part to All In stopped them dead in their tracks.
âY/n, please, youâre in public.âÂ
âYouâre wasting your breath, you know how they are about their spotlight songs.â
Hanâs eyes landed on the person rapping his line with such ease it was as if theyâd written it themself. He felt excitement flood through him instantaneously, rushing over and joining them, singing along to the song playing quietly in the outdoor speakers overhead.
He watched your eyes light up as the two of you sang along together, ignoring your friends and focusing on one another. Not a thing in the world was registering to either of you as you both turned to Minho, watching as he rolled his eyes, smile already playing at his lips, joining in for the last parts of the song.
Your laughter filled the air as the song came to an end, and Jisung could swear it was already becoming one of his favorite sounds.Â
âTook you long enough.â
Your voice was laced with amusement.
âSorry to keep you waiting.â
âYou know I donât like singing by myself.â You nudged his shoulder lightly, causing him to wrap his arm around your shoulders and squeeze tight.
âBut your voice is so nice!â
A blush lit up your cheeks in an instant, mouth opening to respond when someone clearing their throat behind you drew the groups attention.
âY/n, um, what?â
âMin! Sungie! Hurry your asses up or weâre gonna eat without you.â Bee shouted from down the way, drawing Jisungs attention just long enough for you to slip out of his hold.
By the time he or Minho could focus back on you, you were gone. No trace of a person having been standing with them, as if youâd been a figment of their imagination.
âSungieâŠâ
âI know.â
âThat wasâŠâ
âYeah.â
Minho was staring off into the direction you had to have gone in, itching to run after you. Jisung stared at his hands, in disbelief that just moments prior he was holding the final piece of his puzzle in those same hands.
You, the random stranger unabashedly performing one of their songs in the middle of the street, were the one person Jisung and Minho had been looking for incessantly. The person they knew they couldnât remember.Â
âDo you ever wonder what weâd be like if we didnât find each other? Whatâd itâd be like if we donât keep finding each other?â
Jisung was used to thinking these types of questions, but hearing you ask them out loud hurt more than him thinking them ever did.
âIâd rather imagine weâll always find each other.â Jisung grumbled, tightening his hold on both of the bodies on either side of his.
âOkay but what if-â
âThere are no what ifâs, my love. Weâll always find one another, in every lifetime, even if some take a little longer than others. I donât see a reason to dwell on the impossibility of not ending up right back here every single time.â
You snuggled deeper into Jisungs chest, hand squeezing Minhoâs.
âI suppose youâre right.â You mumbled. Minho squeezed your hand comfortingly in response.Â
Jisungs arms shifted entirely around you, squeezing as he rolled over to toss you in the middle, both of your soulmates wanting to hold you close. You sighed in content, snuggling into your boys happily.
âI am so dead serious right now, you two. We will absolutely eat without you if you donât- why do your faces look like that?â
âWe found them.â
âFound who? Why are you being cryptic.â
âWe found our other soulmate.â Jisung said.
Beeâs mouth dropped open and within moments all of their brothers and Riley were there, bombarding them with questions.
âOkay, so is no one surprised that they actually have another soulmate? Is that just me?â Hyunjin said, a smack from Seungmin following shortly after.Â
âWhich direction did they go? We need to find them!â Jeongin said, already shifting from one foot to the other as if he were ready to sprint in any direction in a moments notice.Â
âWe didnât actually see what direction they went in because somebody distracted us.â Jisung glared at Bee.
âOh, Iâm sorry Iâm hungry and didnât know.â They huffed.
âWe were facing that way so they definitely couldnât have gone in that direction.â Minho cut in, knowing a grumpy Jisung and a hangry Bee is never a good combination. They loved each other like siblings but damn could they argue until they both turned blue.
âAlright, everyone pick a direction and let's find our boysâ soulmate.â Chan said, âGo in pairs and meet here in one hour, no exceptions. Even if everyone comes back empty handed, we have to at least try.â Turning to his first and last children, his eyes and tone softened. âIs there anything we can use to recognise them?â
Jisung immediately jumped into a full description, followed by Minho simply saying, âAsk if they know âAll Inâ. They were singing it with us just now.â
Nods all around as people started pairing up.
âOkay, Iâm going with Ji.â Riley stated, looping their arm through Jisungs. âChannie, you take Min. Bin and Bee, separate. I am not dealing with soulmates getting distracted and off mission right now.â
Before Jisung could even think about protesting, he was being swept away by Riley in the first direction he would have guessed you ran in. Jisung struggled to keep up with the pace set by Riley as they ducked into shops and restaurants, checking bathrooms and fitting rooms as they went. Riley wanted to cover as much ground as possible in the one hour timeframe given, which Jisung was appreciative of. However, Jisung hoped Minho and Chan were having better luck, or anyone else for that matter.
He wanted to find you more than anything. Knowing he had you in his arms was enough for him to get addicted to you, and if he stopped for a moment and focused on his memories, he was sure you were already fitting yourself into almost every single one..
Every one sided conversation suddenly being completed, all those nights spent with an unnecessary space between himself and Minho being filled by you. Your presence for those four minutes he got with you had already led to a downward spiral of need to be close to you, to hold you in his arms once more.
In combination with the presence of you in old memories, as if youâd always been there, there was also a small onslaught of new memories, ones without Minho but including you. Ones that further solidified your rightful place within his life.
As another memory flashed behind his eyes, he took a seat on a bench outside of a small corner store.
âAre you okay?â Riley asked, always a mother hen.
âIâm fine, just, check this one without me, I need a moment.â
Riley seemed to understand and didnât ask questions as they pat him on the back and wandered into the store.
âDo you believe in soulmates?â A voice whispered in your ear as hands made their way around your waist. âBecause I feel like weâve met before and Iâd like to get to know you again.â
You could smell the stench of alcohol emanating off the stranger feeling you up in the middle of the dance floor. Rolling your eyes, you ripped his hands off you, turning around and shoving him back for safe measure.Â
âI do believe in soulmates, and you sure as hell ainât mine. But the guy who is doesnât really take kindly to strangers touching what's his.âÂ
Before the idiot could open his mouth again, Jisungs arm slid into place across your shoulders, pulling you in for a downright make out session right in the middle of the bars dance floor.
When he finally pulled away, the dude was nowhere to be seen.
âTook you long enough.â You said teasingly.
âSorry to keep you waiting.â He smiled gently, and then led you to the booth heâd been watching you from.
You shook your head as you splashed water on your face in the bathroom, your best friend, Lia, pacing behind you.
âI thought you wanted to avoid them?â
Lia was the only person youâd confided in after coming to terms with the fact that your soulmates were not one, but two international superstars.
âI did, but, I donât know. It was like being like that with them was so natural I didnât even register that we donât know each other. It felt right.â
âDo you think they know?â
Sighing, you lightly tapped your head against the wall, eyes squeezed shut. âI donât know. If they donât yet, weâve met now, itâs only a matter of time before I start filtering into their memories.â
âDo you want to keep hiding from them? Y/n/n, they know now, thereâs no avoiding them not remembering you anymore. Donât you think avoiding them now will just cause unnecessary pain?â
âI know that! I do. But, Iâm not sure I could handle being in their world, and what if they end up resenting me for ruining the good thing they already had? Theyâve been together for so long, and then I just blindside them with my existence? What if they didnât even know they had a third soulmate?â
âThen they do now and theyâre probably looking everywhere for them. Those two donât seem like the type to resent you for coming into their lives, but they might if you enter it just to disappear forever. I get the feeling now that they know, theyâll never stop looking for you. Do you understand that?â
You opened your mouth to answer when the door to the bathroom swung open.
âOh, Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to interrupt. I was just looking for someone.â The stranger looked flushed, as if theyâd been running, but even so you could tell they were stunning. âUm, neither of you happen to know the song All In, do you?â
You and Lia shot each other confused but nervous looks, which seemed to be enough for this stranger who finally let the bathroom door shut behind them, leaning against it and eyeing you both.
âSo which one of you is the runner?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âOne of you just met your two soulmates and then booked it while they had their backs turned, which was it?â
Lia threw her hands up in defense, pointing at you in the process and backing up.
âTraitor.â You mumbled, causing her to stifle a laugh.
The stranger blocking the exit landed their gaze on you, âI ran too.â
Of all the things you were expecting them to say, that was definitely not on the list of possibilities.
âItâs scary,â They continued, pushing off the door and walking towards you. âBut the separation is worse. I promise you, itâs better than you can possibly imagine. The company takes good care of us, and while we arenât allowed to be public, we go pretty much everywhere with the boys if we want to. They donât do anything to risk our relationships.â
âIâm sorry but, who are you and what do you mean by our?â
âOh! Iâm Riley, Iâm Chanâs soulmate. And Changbin found his as well, their name is Bee. I went through the running and being scared of falling for someone in the industry but Bee was already in the industry themself when they found Bin, so it was slightly easier for them. Sorry, Iâm rambling, but my point is weâre both here for you and we both understand how youâre feeling. And that those men you just left in the dust are two of the best Iâve ever met, and theyâve been looking for you for a long time.â
That comment shocked you to your core.Â
Theyâve been looking for you.
âHow could they be looking for me, they couldnât have even known about me.â
Riley seemed to hesitate. âTo be honest, none of us believed them. For a while we really just assumed that they found each other at such a young age theyâve never experienced anything but one another, so the whole third soulmate thing was just sort of a way to come to terms with the fact that they wanted a change of pace or something. But, here you are, and we stand corrected.Â
âThey may not have known you, or known how to find you, but theyâve been searching for their âmissing pieceâ about as long as Iâve known them.â Then Riley quirked their head in a very parental like motion. âYou already knew, didnât you.â
It was phrased as a question, but was completely an irrefutable statement.
âHow long have you known?â Where you were expecting harshness or judgment, you received only the sound of sheer curiosity.
âAlmost a year now.â You mumbled, arms wrapping around yourself for a sense of security.Â
Riley blanched. âA YEAR?!â
You just nodded.Â
âDamn hun, I wouldâve lost my mind if Iâd known who Chris was for a whole year. How the hell did you manage that?!â
âBy convincing themself that Minho and Han were already happy and better off without them, that theyâd just throw a hitch in their lives that they didnât need.â Lia stated, you could practically hear her rolling her eyes at you. Rileyâs eyes softened at her words.
Grabbing your hands in one hand, Riley brushed a stray piece of hair out of your face, gently cupping your cheek. âI know exactly how you feel. When I found Chris, I ran too. I didnât think I could survive his work schedule, the expectations placed on him, all the fans claiming him, but he is so worth every single difficulty and so much more. I know youâre scared right now, and itâs probably worse for you because itâs just Chris and me, but Min and Ji already adore you, they could never be happier without you than they will be with you, I can promise you that much.
âI understand if youâre not ready yet. I wasnât ready for a long time myself, so if itâs okay with you, I want to give you mine and Beeâs numbers, you can reach out to us with any and all questions, concerns, whatever. Heck, if you just want to use them to get to know us, thatâs fine too. I didnât have anyone to help me, but you have us, weâll help you all the way. Think about it, okay? All three of you will be so much happier together. You arenât meant to be apart.â
You felt tears stinging your eyes again. You knew Riley was right, youâd always known youâd be happier with them, but you also knew there was no way for you to get their attention, no way for them to actually find you, now that you had, now that they knew you, you were truly out of logical reasons to avoid taking your place by their sides.
Because soulmates are a curious thing. Everyone has them, and someway, somehow, they always find each other.
next part: a life eluded
a/n: ahhhhhh part two, I feel like itâs been done for a while but Iâve been like nervous about it idk, anyways I hope you enjoyed!! I know itâll run for at least two more parts with potential for spin off(s) on the others finding their soulmates or even âprequelsâ of Riley and Chan as well as Bee and Changbinđ«Łđ€ please feel free and encouraged to leave your thoughts and opinions and also lemme know if youâd be interested in being tagged in upcoming parts? ciao!! đ«¶

Just a heads up this is kinda sad (unfortunately a friend of mine was in a similar situation). It's alright if you don't wanna write it, I just thought l'd ask be of how talented you aređ€đ©”. Poly skz + reader, or just Minsung or Hyunlix if you want, totally up to you. Reader relatively new to the relationship and is trying their best to be the best partner to all parties, but doesn't feel like it's being returned. They feel like skz (or whichever ship you choose is) too into each other and not them, like the shiny new toy isn't exciting anymore. One night, after everyone goes to sleep, reader gets their things and leaves without saying anything. If you're not comfortable with writing it, that's ok!đ©”
â§ Â PAIRING: HYUNJIN X GN!READER X FELIX â§ Â CW: ANGST, FLUFF IF YOU SQUINT, FEELINGS OF NOT BEING LOVED, THIRD WHEEL MENTIONS, SHORT BLURB, OPEN ENDING â§ Â WC: 0.5K â§ Â NOTE: you think im talented đ„čđ©”đ©” and im so sorry your friend went through that. i had an old cosplay friend who was in a situation like that as well so iâd hear about it a bit
     Y/n tried. They tried as hard as they could in the relationship. But entering an already established relationship was hard. Starting to date two people who already had a history together felt, weird? Almost like, sometimes you were intruding on the other two in the relaetionship.
     The start of it was great. Y/n had met Hyunjin first and the two hit it off and he had mentioned them to Felix. Meeting Felix was a nice warm fuzzy feeling the moment he smiled at them. After a few months, the two boys asked Y/n out. Promising equal love. But three-way love was difficult.
     Because of work, Hyunjin and Felix both spent a lot more time together than Y/n with just one of them. It was a little unfair, maybe a lot.They still showed Y/n the same amount of love they gave each other, good morning kisses, cuddling all the time, sleeping together, etc. But that didnât stop those thoughts from coming in.
      Maybe it was just all just one-sided to begin with. The two men were happy well before Y/n entered the picture; even though they both tried their hardest to wash the worries they had away. But all they did was give them words. Words that started to barely mean anything. Yeah, they were busy, but it just felt like Y/n was left out. Kisses, hugs, and cuddles werenât enough anymore.
     The two didnât really need them, right? Would they even notice if Y/n left? Would they even care?
     The thoughts swirled in their head for a week. It was when the two came home from a rough day at the company and just said good night Y/n figured it was time to go. They didnât say anything, just texted a friend asking to stay with them for a few days. Once they agreed, she quietly grabbed as much as she could fit in a small bag while the two were passed out in each others arms.
     It hurt to look at the couple laying in the threes shared bed all by themselves, but when you donât feel the same love you put out, you get out before you hurt yourself more. Y/n wiped a stray tear from under their eye and tip-toed out of the room. They closed the door and headed out of the home. Y/n took one look around the living area, not praying that one of them wakes up and walks out of the room asking where they were going, but making sure they had everything.
     Y/n sighed and closed the door, locking it and heading down to their car. The realization came once they got to their friends place. Crying on their coach till almost two or three in the morning. There werenât enough words to describe that pain of being promised shared love and only receiving it when it was new and funâ if there was even words to describe that pain.

Han Jisung's Guide to The College Experience (CH. 1)



My child, my first ever fic, right here on Tumblr
minsung-centric (ft. a few side ships ;) )
7.3k words
Nothing 18+ here -> not sure what's happening later
college au, not quite enemies to lovers but like kinda, me projecting my hatred for college on skz
also posted on ao3 here :) https://archiveofourown.org/works/61759963/chapters/157886353
An empty stage, save for a single microphone conveniently placed center stage. Enter stage left, one Han Jisung. âCollege fucking sucks,â he says into the mic.
The result is a resounding agreement, applause echoing through the room. People have even started throwing flowers towards the stage (and various other items that shall remain unnamed). The aforementioned Han Jisung has never felt more seen and accomplished, this shall go down as the greatest moment in his otherwise bland, unimportant life. That is until he hears a faint booing from somewhere in the third row.
Kim Motherfucking Seungmin
Or at least, this is how it wouldâve played out in said Han Jisungâs head if this situation happened. In hindsight, he realizes that might be the wrong person to play the role of his daydream arch nemesis given that Kim Seungmin usually cannot be bothered to give two shits about most things, and definitely wouldnât attend a speech given by Jisung even if just to be a general disturbance. Changbin on the other hand, the man who lives to give Jisung the younger brother treatment and constant humiliation? Now that might be just a slight bit more realistic.
Take right now for example. Fall registration, the worst part of the year for any underclassman who wants a sliver of a chance at classes that will prove themselves useful for their degree. Chan and Changbin, two upperclassmen who have taken it upon themselves to âadoptâ Jisung in a sense after he was able to squeeze himself into an actually useful lower-division music production class the other two had also enrolled in last semester, filled their schedules hours ago and were able to find classes that might one day provide them with their degrees. The rest of the day proceeds as follows:
The three rented a studio space for the day to begin recording for their last final project of the year knowing that they would each have to halt the process for their brief window of an enrollment period. Going into their senior and junior year respectively, in addition to their overachiever tendencies providing them extra course credits, Chan and Changbin had prime enrollment times earlier in the morning while Jisung had to wait until the late afternoon before he could even think of opening his laptop and checking his schedule.
After hours of anxious leg shaking and tense recording sessions, Jisung found himself in front of his laptop, refreshing the page as soon as it loaded until the buttons lit up that let him enroll in his courses. As soon as his enrollment window opened, a scream that could be heard across campus regardless of the soundproof recording booth was let out.
âWaitlist? Fucking bullshit is what it is.â Jisung muttered as he found himself able to enroll in only one of the five classes he had planned on for the next semester. Tens of thousands in yearly tuition payments and he canât even get a fucking degree? Absurd.
Luckily his friends had taught him how to make backup schedules because surely thereâs no way everything he wanted to take was full, itâs not like there are that many people on this campus. Right?
Wrong. After a grand total of six separate schedules and 16 courses Jisung was even considering taking (including those horrific STEM classes the school wanted him to take to graduate thank you very much) only two other classes had spots, neither of which fell under his major. At this rate, he wasnât even going to be allowed to come back to campus with how barren his schedule looked.
âChat, I fear we might be cooked here,â Jisung said to no one in particular. Well, actually thatâs a lie, as there are two other people in the room with Jisung, and he would very much so like them to bestow upon him their worldly advice.
âJisung, as funny as I might find this, which mind you is incredibly hilarious, you do need to find another class to fill your schedule,â Changbin responded. As objectively right as he is, Jisung hopes all of his classes get canceled so he can feel a fraction of the stress heâs currently under.
âHave you considered sorting by classes with available spots? You might as well just take what you can get before youâre stuck with waitlists longer than the class size.â Chan adds. Heâs never wronged Jisung before and heâs already under enough stress, so he can have a slightly better fate. Maybe only a class or two was canceled, or a waitlist heâll never get off of.
In all honesty, Jisung wouldn't wish his fate upon anyone, not even Kim Seungmin. Now that heâs been brought up within the confines of Jisungâs mind palace, he wonders how enrollment went for his roommate. Probably significantly better considering he took six classes a semester his first year and the classes for his major have 200 spots compared to Jisungâs 25 spot music classes. Jisung briefly considers swapping his major to computer science, as studying classics like Seungmin is quite frankly too pretentious for him, but quickly remembers how poorly that would go for him as he had to drop his course on the subject last fall before he failed it. Surely he shouldâve gotten some good karma from the computer science major he got off the comically large waitlist. Wait, that's not the point here, enrollment closes in five minutes and Jisung still doesnât have a fourth class.
âThatâs it, Iâm sorting by classes with available spots and just clicking on one. As long as it doesnât stop me to tell me my schedule conflicts it literally cannot be worse.â Jisung announces to the room. Itâs not like a university campus has classes so useless this backfires on him.
âYou sure about that one? I mean you could at least try to find something that fulfills a graduation requirement. I'm sure something still has space.â Jisung hears Chan ask in the background. He pays no mind to this warning and instead clicks on a random class that pops up with available spots.
âThereâs no way you seriously just signed yourself up for a two-hour 8 am every Monday and Wednesday. I donât even care what that class is, youâve just screwed yourself beyond belief here kid.â Changbin says, cut off only by his laughter. Jisung doesnât really find this situation humorous, but to each their own he supposes.
With that, the enrollment window closes and all Jisung is left with is 4 class codes and the worst schedule of his college years. How can someone end up with an 8 am every day of the week but also an 8 pm? Jisung closes the tab his schedule is on, refusing to believe this is something that actually happened to him. Before doing so, he noticed a class code under one of his 8 am classes that wasnât on his schedule before, CDM101, clearly the class he signed up for randomly. Surely it canât be that hard, itâs an introductory course, and the only classes he can think of that start with C are communications and chemistry, and anything under the latter is definitely full already.
The topic of registration is nothing but a stray thought in the back of Jisungâs mind, batted away like a cat toy. Heâs enrolled in four classes, he wonât be kicked out of school, and at least something there will be going towards his degree. As the three begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel on their final project, they quickly wrap up their recording and agree to finish editing on their own and grab dinner instead as they have very little left. Three burnt-out college students versus a single final project for their music production class, who will win? Let the records state that although it was a concerningly close fight, the students did in fact win, and they all walked away with an A on their transcript.
As the three boys leave the restaurant, significantly more optimistic than they were walking into the studio (save for one Han Jisung), a lull in the conversation occurs and Chan just canât seem to help himself because he immediately turns to Jisung and asks, âAre you sure youâll be okay in your classes? You can always just talk to an advisor, thatâs literally what theyâre paid to do. We both know you donât do well with mornings and I donât want to see your grades slip just because you didnât want to get up to go to class.â
Chan truly is nothing if not a worrying mother at heart. Jisung would find it endearing if it wasnât contributing to his already soured mood over his classes. Yes his schedule sucks, and yes he will be immediately calling his parents once he gets back to his dorm to cry about it, but nobody needs to know that, especially his friends.
âWhile I appreciate the concern, it was truly never that deep, Iâll be fine,â Jisung responds, before fully turning to Chan to add on, âand everyone knows advisors are actually paid to be a pain in your ass and make sure you enroll in even less than if you just did it yourself.â
Yes, Jisung might be a little frustrated with his schedule, but heâs dealt with worse classes. Like that computer science class, but at least he could drop that one. So he signed up for a communications class, big fucking deal. Heâll just show up to the first lecture, find out if attendance is mandatory, and never show up again if itâs not. Communications classes are easy, he knows how to talk to people, and surely thatâs what he signed up for, right?
Right?
ââââââ------------------------
Wrong.
Again, seriously? Jisung wonders how many times heâll be wrong before he gets something right because itâs apparently more than two. Well, itâs a lot more than two given his track record but thatâs not important right now. Whatâs important is that Jisung needs to find his classes, starting with his Monday 8 am communications class. He left his dorm around 7:30 this morning, as he was positive this was all the time he needed to reach the mystery class, and right he was. Gold star for Jisung everybody! He should throw a party, maybe even invite his new communications professor.
Now Jisung knows some friends of friends who have taken a communications class or two for an easy A, so he knows the building this class is in is definitely not the communications building. Heâs almost positive that the building in question is on the other side of campus, not two buildings away from the music building over by where the art classes are held. He also knows that classes tend to stick within the building of their department as to avoid confusion. So the question remains: What the fuck did Jisung sign up for last spring?
A dance class. A fucking contemporary dance class. It couldnât have just been a communications class, a history of dance class, or even any other style of dance. It just had to be something that requires a genuine understanding of movement and a body with the capacity to do things no human should be able to do. It should be, in theory, or at least according to the syllabus and Han Jisungâs limited knowledge of the dance department, an easy A just like it wouldâve been if he actually signed up for a communications class. However, thereâs one bright, shining error in his brilliant plan to get an A.
Mandatory Attendance.
âShowing up is half the battle my ass,â Jisung mutters as he reviews the syllabus the professor had been handing out at the door. He hopes she didnât hear him as that could possibly win for the worst first impression of Jisungâs college career.
Yes the final for this class is a paper, and yes he has maybe three homework assignments the entire quarter; but seriously, how hard is it to make a syllabus where attendance isnât 50% of your final grade? At least in other mandatory attendance classes, the portion of your grade that attendance counts for tends to be insignificant enough that you could still get an A while missing a good portion of lectures so long as you did well on the exams. Jisung begins weighing the possibility of dropping out of college entirely and living off of Changbinâs trust fund when the door closes, signifying what is usually the beginning of class, but who fucking knows at this point, this is uncharted territory here.
âWelcome to beginning contemporary dance, Iâll be your professor for this semester.â A voice cuts through Jisungâs pessimistic stream of consciousness, âAs stated in the syllabus, you will have a teaching assistant who will be attending class alongside you. Unfortunately, he couldnât attend class today due to a conflict in scheduling within the department, but know that you have much to learn from himâ
The professor continues to drone on about how despite the class being made for beginners, she expects effort and attention from all students regardless of their dance background, or lack thereof (definitely a pointed comment thank you very much); and then a few other things regarding the attendance policies and grading structure. Jisung, however, is paying shit attention to this little speech and hasnât been since the professor mentioned a teaching assistant. He? Now donât get it twisted, Jisung is in no position to be prejudiced. In fact, itâll be great to have some boy doing spins around him for two hours at a time. Jisungâs never been able to focus too well in class without something to look at, so surely this will motivate him to show up at 8 am twice a week for the next 18 weeks. On second thought, it probably wonât, but it doesnât hurt to hope.
Jisungâs thoughts are once again interrupted by the professor, this time addressing him directly. âSorry, could you repeat that?â He asks, trying (and failing) to make himself not look like the biggest idiot on the planet.
âWeâre doing introductions. Just tell the class your name, year, major, and a fun fact. Nothing too difficult, that comes later of course.â the professor tells him, adding a seemingly ominous wink to the end of her sentence.
Well, thatâs easy, the same shit you do in every class, surely this sentiment will remain similar for the remainder of the semester. Jisung thinks for a second before responding with, âHi everyone, Iâm Jisung, Iâm a second-year music major, and Iâve never danced before nor wanted to in my entire life.â
âThank you for participating Jisung, and I sincerely hope this class can change your views on dance.â With the passive-aggressive comment from his professor out of the way, Jisung resumes his stream of consciousness. Todayâs class seems to be largely focused on getting to know each other, which he does so on autopilot, listening but never taking in the words of his peers.
For once, the universe decided to work in Jisungâs favor, and class got out early, meaning he had an extra hour to spend before his 8 pm lecture that night that he didnât really need but still liked having regardless. He found himself at the campus coffee shop he frequented his freshman year in the hopes of finishing those pesky homework assignments he was supposed to do before classes started. Say what you want, but summer homework is egregious and should be banned regardless of the subject. At long last, it was 8 pm, and time for a class that Jisung actually gave a fuck about, his sole music-related class; which turned out to be a history class? Look, registration was rough, and if he needs it to graduate, then by god Jisung is going to get that snoozefest done.
Luckily the class is one he shares with his friends, so really it could have been worse. You know, like the rest of his schedule. Once he reached the classroom, he noticed Chan and Changbin waving him over, having saved him a seat. Jisung knew what they wanted to hear, and briefly yet seriously contemplated running the other direction and taking the inevitable hit to his grade that ditching class would leave him with. Despite all this, he moves to sit between his friends, anticipating the immediate badgering and questioning, but not quite moving to deflect. Look, he just needs to complain, like seriously who makes an 8 am mandatory â attendance being half your grade at that? He pauses for a second and proceeds to voice this thought to his peers.
âYou mean to tell me youâve somehow found an introductory communications class at 8 am that lasts two hours, mind you, thatâs completely mandatory and worth half your grade just to show up?â Changbin explains, looking a little too enthused by Jisungâs suffering.
âNah dude, thatâs the worst part, itâs not even a communications class,â Jisung responds. âItâs a fucking dance class. I have to participate and shit, canât even slack off in the corner of a lecture hall.â
âYou know, most people go to class to learn,â Chan adds. âIt only makes sense that would be applied to more practical classes.â Curse him and his realistic worldview, and sue Jisung for using lectures to online shop and play 2048, itâs not like they arenât recorded and uploaded anyway.
Upon giving his two cents, which are somehow worth more than most peopleâs despite still being two cents, Chan looks away to pay attention to the lecture. Jisung canât help but thank him in his head. Not because heâs no longer grilling him, but because he knows Changbin wonât let up and neither of them will take a single note tonight.
âSo what do you even do in that class? With your two left feet, I canât foresee anything about this going well.â Changbin leans over to whisper.
âBro, why are you acting like I know? All I remember from whatever that class was is that some dude is gonna come in and TA for us.â Jisung thinks for a second and adds, âIâll probably just make friends with him and hope he can save my grade.â
âYour TAs a guy?â
âYeah dude, didnât realize you of all people would take offense to that. Isnât your boyfriend literally a dance major?â
âNot where I was going with that dumbass. Was just gonna say I know a guy whoâs TAing a dance class this semester.â
âAnd you didnât think to tell me?â
âSays the one who didnât even know he was in a dance class until this morning.â
âWhatever dude, so what should I know about this mysterious TA guy? The prof kept hyping him up and shit, no way heâs that good?â
âI'm not telling you shit with that attitude,â Changbin says, finishing their gossip session before it could start. âPay attention, according to what I just heard you need to if you want to pass any of your classes this semester.â
With that, Jisung turned back to the professor at the front of the room. Paying attention in a class where all of the lecture videos get sent to him is pointless, Jisung thinks as he opens 2048 on his computer, a game already in progress.
Tuesday went by in a blur, two general education classes Jisung will be doing the bare minimum for because no hiring manager in the history of ever is going to give a single shit that someone working in music production got a C- in their genetics class they were forced to take sophomore year. It was once Wednesday hit the semester began to immediately worsen, which Jisung didnât even think was possible. Look, the 8 am classes every day are really starting to get to him, especially when paired with a class twelve hours later.
So he overslept and missed his dance class, no biggie, surely thereâs a policy that says he can miss a few classes right? Every class has those, itâs like a fail-safe for when overworked college students inevitably find themselves too sick (or lazy, as seen here) so Jisung will be fine.
Or not. Seriously, one excused absence for an entire semester? Thatâs a little absurd, even for a dance class. Oh well, heâll just have to go to all of the classes in the future if he wants a good grade. Better hope he doesnât find himself catching every disease ever like all college kids do in the fall.
Thursday followed as per the Tuesday schedule, and Friday was empty save for a morning discussion class Jisung would rather dunk his socks in cereal and suck the milk out of than attend despite participation being a significant enough portion of his grade. Aside from the utter failure that has been trying to attend his dance class, Jisung was sure he could turn the semester around and make it into something bearable. Make lemons out of lemonade or whatever old people say when they donât want you to believe itâs okay to be frustrated.
ââââââ------------------------
Surely after the disaster that was trying to get to all of his classes last week, Jisung could bring himself to attend his 8ams, and attend his 8ams he did. Walking into the dance building at 7:55 am (see Changbin, not that hard) Jisung noticed a boy about his age approaching him. He takes a moment to think back to last week, trying to recall a face, name, or anything to help him remember this boy who clearly knows him. His strikingly blonde hair and round features allowed him to stand out amongst the crowd, and surely Jisung would remember meeting someone as unique as him. He comes up with nothing, and takes the last few seconds to pray that they donât actually know each other and he isnât about to severely offend someone.
âWhere were you on Wednesday?â the boy asks, âIt kinda sucks being the only guy in this class, well except for the TA I guess.â
âIâm really sorry but, do we know each other?â Jisung responds with the only thing heâs thinking at this moment. âI donât mean to offend you, I just do not remember a thing from the first class and I feel like Iâd remember meeting you.â
âWell not yet I suppose, but thatâs what this is for. Lee Felix, a second-year dance major.â The boy, Felix as he now knows, reaches his hand out, presumably for a handshake.
âHan Jisung, second-year music major. If you donât mind me asking, why are you in a class for beginners if this is what your degree is in?â Jisung worries heâs pried a bit too much for a first-time conversation, but he really doesnât understand why someone who loves dance enough to major in it is in a class with the likes of him.
âDonât worry, people already questioned me about it last week, Iâll give you the run down since you werenât there. Iâm auditing the class, which means I kinda just show up when I feel like it and donât worry about a grade.â
âDude I wish that was me. I signed up for this class by chance after I was under the credit limit.â
âSeriously? I hate to break it to you, but youâre really in for something different if you signed up by accident. I mean, just wait until you meet the TA, heâs really gonna have it out for you if he ever hears that.â
âThe TA? Donât worry man I have that covered. All I gotta do is play nice and make friends, and heâll help me get an A, right?â
âWrong.â The second Jisung hears this from Felix, all he can do is put a little tally next to the chart on his brain whiteboard next to âwrongsâ. The ârightsâ side is regrettably empty save for when he made it to class on time (does that count?). âDonât think Iâm trying to scare you or anything, heâs not a bad guy, itâs just⊠he can be a little more on the serious side when it comes to dance. I mean Iâm sure you get it, being in the arts and all that.â
âWhatever man, just wait. Iâve got this in the bag already.â Jisung says as they enter the studio together. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots something, or someone that is, that definitely wasnât there last week. He likes to think heâd remember seeing someone like him. He also believes heâd remember every single girl in that class (which mind you, is everyone with the exception of Jisung and Felix) shamelessly staring the same guy down as if he was the last croissant at that trendy bakery down the street from Chanâs apartment. It makes something akin to jealousy shoot down Jisungâs spine and into his fingertips. Look, itâs not what you think it is, he doesnât even like girls like that, but he sincerely doubts Mr. Twinkle Toes over there does either, heâs in a dance class for fucks sake. Itâs just the whole attention thing; Jisung loves being the person in the room that people feel compelled to approach (except for when he really doesnât), and this guy is hogging his spotlight. Jisung does the only thing he thinks can help him in this situation, and turns to Felix to ask, âWho in the everloving fuck is that?â
âWho?â He distantly hears Felixâs response over the sound of blood in his ears as he makes eye contact with the mystery man. Jisung really just thinks itâs unfair, how can someone have such an objectively perfect face, and maybe now he understands why all 20-something girls just canât seem to look away from their classmate. His stare is piercing, almost as if heâs one of those mind readers Jisung worries about when his thoughts get a little inappropriate for the situation, and now all he can think about is if thatâs exactly whatâs happening right now.
Regrettably, before he can really unpack what any of that is supposed to mean, the professor walks in, and any fraction of the boyâs attention that Jisung held is immediately lost to what he thinks is a motivational speech to open the class.
âAlright everybody, todayâs class will be focused on Horton Techniqueâ the professor starts, âAs a lot of you are not dancers, we will begin the class with a bit of a lecture on the history of the form. Contemporary dance is deeply rooted in the evolution of modern dance forms, so it is important we begin with these foundational techniquesâ
As the professor drones on about the history of modern dance, a voice in the back of Jisungâs mind reminds him that although there are no exams, the homework assignments are probably based on what sheâs saying right now. He proceeds to throw that out the window and instead stares at Mr. Twinkle Toes from his place across the room. Look donât judge the nickname, it's not like Jisung knows his real name and honestly, the nickname is kinda funny and definitely going to stick around for way too long whether or not they ever even exchange greetings.
What he finds, however, is not a sight he had been expecting. TT, as Jisung will now be taking to calling the boy in his head since Mr. Twinkle Toes is long and pretentious and must be saved exclusively for peak comedic timing, is already looking right back at him. Seriously, what is this dude's deal with Jisung? All he wanted when he signed up for a random class was some inner peace and an easy A, and now heâs not sure heâs got either of those. Unfortunately, just like every other time, Jisung has attempted to get any form of information on his mystery man, his professor has decided to stop lecturing and move on to actual dancing, causing both of their gazes to break.
This professor is really starting to get on Jisungâs nerves, canât she see heâs on a mission here? Clearly more important than whatever the fuck Horton Technique is.
âTo begin our warmup series, we will be learning a flat-back combination. This exercise engages your muscles and prepares the body for more rigorous movementâ Jisung is vaguely aware of the teacher as she guides the class through the combination, focusing on keeping his head down and refusing to attract negative attention.
The teacher repeats the combination twice through movement, once verbally, and declares this enough before moving to turn on the music. Jisung canât help but notice that Mr, Twinkle Toes seems to have taken to standing front and center of the studio. Teacherâs pet much? Itâs not like he could possibly be good enough to warrant standing there in the first place. Jisung may not be a dancer, but he and Seungmin did drunkenly watch reruns of Dance Moms one night after finals, so he knows that front and center is reserved for special people who can actually dance.
Mystery Boy, as it turns out, is in fact one of those special people who can actually dance, and Jisung finds himself entranced by the way he effortlessly completes the exercise Jisung couldnât even remember with the repetition and explanations. He suddenly finds himself grateful heâs placed himself directly behind Mystery Boy, and no itâs not because he has a good view of his ass you pervert, heïżœïżœs wearing sweats anyways. Jisung learns that standing behind him does actually provide him with some knowledge as he simply repeats the movements he sees in front of him, albeit a little sloppier.
As the exercise draws to a close, and the professor moves to command the attention of the class, Jisung realizes something he had been previously ignorant of.
The music
Well, if you can even call it that. Jisung doesnât understand how Mr. Twinkle Toes up in the front can do the exercises so flawlessly when the sound of nails on a chalkboard would be more audibly appealing than this monstrosity contained in his professorâs iPad. To each their own, he supposes, as he proceeds to figure out how to get his brain to tune out the music for the remainder of the class.
The professor leads them through a few more simple warm-up exercises in the center before announcing that theyâll be moving to the corner to try a few exercises across the floor. Jisung finds himself grateful for this, as if he ever has to do a Lateral T exercise again he might just do something drastic enough to change the trajectory of his professorâs life. He finds himself towards the end of the line the class has formed, alongside Felix, and notices that Mystery Boy has taken up a position at the end of the line. Given his assertiveness at the front of the room, and unfortunately, his ability to dance better than Jisung previously assumed, it seemed like he would be the kind of person to rush to be first in line.
Not that Jisung is complaining, this just means that he doesnât have to embarrass himself by going after someone who actually knows what theyâre doing.
The teacher then leads them through Jisungâs new least favorite exercise. The worst part? Itâs not even supposed to be that hard. Itâs basically a glorified walking pattern across the length of the studio, something about familiarizing yourself with the ground or whatever, and Jisung just doesnât get it. He proceeds to share this with Felix, who goes over it with him while they wait in line, and he could kiss Felix for how he saved him from being a walking (literally) embarrassment.
Unfortunately for him, his Mystery Boy is soon after him, and heâs forced to watch the most graceful walking of his entire life. He didnât even know walking could be so graceful before taking this class. You learn something new every day it seems. Jisung is infuriated by the boy and his strange affinity for walking, and he decides that Felix needs to hear this.
âWho the fuck does he think he is? It's enough to be that obnoxiously talented and objectively attractive, but to know it like he does too?â Jisung whispers to Felix a little louder than expected. Before he can check if anyone heard him, he feels someoneâs breath on the back of his neck, far too close for comfort.
âItâs rude to talk about people behind their backs. I guess I was wrong to assume your parents would have raised you better than that?â He hears from behind him, whispered directly in his ear.
Jisung finds himself unable to move, or speak for that matter. In a true life or death scenario (not that this isnât), his instincts would immediately choose freeze over the much more useful fight or flight, which should worry Jisung, but heâs a little preoccupied. He says what is apparently the only thing he can think of when faced with strangers recently, which ends up being an incredibly eloquent, âWho the fuck are you?â
âLee Minho, itâd do you well to remember that. Your TA as well, although in hindsight that part might be a bit more importantâ he gets in response.
âOh! Iâm so sorry, I swear whatever you heard, I really didnât mean it to be rude. Iâm just struggling with the class and dealing with it in an even worse manner. But since youâre my TA, you can help me, right?â Jisung adds that last part alongside some serious puppy-dog eyes as a last-ditch attempt to make Minho believe that Jisung really is just in awe of him and not a jerk.
âYeah, fat chance after that display. You have a far better chance of getting help from Lixie over here, itâs not like he doesnât know the same things I do.â So that didnât work.
âThereâs really no need to get snappy Minho, I swear he didnât mean it like that.â Felix decides to add in at that moment, and thank god Jisung has someone to come to his aid like this,â He really is just curious, he missed class last Wednesday anyways.â
âYeah, whatever, just donât let me catch you talking like that again. Iâm not a bitch but I will take it up with the professor if you want to choose to act like a child in a college course.â Minho finishes with that, brushing past Jisung before he can even utter another apology.
The rest of class continues somewhat normally, Jisung keeps his head down and mouth shut to avoid inadvertently offending another classmate or worse, his professor. Minho seems to preen even more given that the professor is making it more and more aware that he is the TA, and incredibly talented at that. She couldnât have done that an hour ago before Jisung was given the perfect opportunity to humiliate himself? This class keeps getting worse.
At long last, class is released, and Jisung is free to hide in his dorm for the rest of eternity out of shame. He almost makes it out of the dance building unscathed, but not before he runs into Felix waiting for a more advanced dance class after the one he shares with Jisung, who offers apologies on behalf of Minho as well as a chance for him to help Jisung better understand the class and his phone number.
Jisung really doesnât have it in his heart to tell Felix heâs seriously considering dropping this class over how horrifically heâs embarrassed himself. He also doesnât have it in himself to drop the class when he checks the app on his phone as he begins his walk, so he might as well accept the help where he can. He texts Felix, asking if they can meet outside of class, and heads off towards his dorm.
ââââââ------------------------
Jisung left class that morning more confused than heâd ever been in his entire life. He likes to think of himself as a people person, even though he is one of those people who spends his solo walks and that awkward period of laying down before you fall asleep thinking of every conversation thatâs ever gone wrong in his entire life. Honestly, this truly is one for the books, how was he supposed to know Mr. Twinkle Toes was his TA, and how the fuck was he supposed to know that Felix wasnât playing about him actually giving a fuck about dance. Now Jisung gets it, heâs an artist too, it sucks to have your work devalued or seen as lesser, especially as a student. But itâs not like he even said anything rude to Minho, in fact, he was incredibly complimentary of him, so he really doesnât understand what upset the other boy so much.
Jisungâs self-deprecating depression spiral over his stupid dance TA, who doesnât even matter anyway like who even cares, comes to an end when he reaches his dorm and slams the front door a little harder than normal, startling his roommate. Kim Seungmin may be a little shit who makes (lovingly) snide comments towards Jisung whenever he finds the opportunity to do so, but thereâs a reason Jisung chose to room with him again despite totally having a way out of doing so. Okay so he didnât, but that doesnât change the fact that he really does love Seungmin and appreciates his ability to stay put together when Jisung absolutely cannot.
âThe fuck happened to you? I havenât seen you this upset since spring registration.â Jisung hears Seungmin ask. Although he really isnât in the mood to âtalk this outâ, he has to admit that Seungmin might have something interesting to provide.
âItâs just my TA for that stupid dance class, not like itâs important or anything.â Jisung responds, âHeâs just so⊠infuriating.â
âOh? How so?â
âWe were going through class like what I assume is normal, and I went to say something about him to my friend in the class and I guess he overheard and flipped the fuck out over it.â
âWell, what did you say? If youâre talking shit about someone and they hear itâs not like theyâre going to be particularly excited about that, you idiot.â
âNo, I swear nothing like that! I was just upset that he was so talented and objectively attractive AND confident on top of all of that. I didnât even know he was my TA for fucks sakeâ Jisung proceeds to flop across their shared couch for dramatic effect, surely Seungmin will take pity on him.
âWait, whatâs his name? I know a few dancers myself you know.â He did not, oh well. Curse Seungmin and his ability to be impartial about situations.
âI think he said it was like Lee Minho? Something like that, not much to go off, unfortunately.â
âDo you have a picture of him?â
âNo what the fuck why do you need one?â Jisung feels weirdly called out by this as he does, in fact, have a photo of him. Sue him for being able to find the socials of the boy in question, not like it was that hard.
âIâll tell you if you show me a picture of himâ
âFine.â Jisung relents, handing over his phone, opened to Minhoâs Instagram account.
âOh! I do know him, didnât think this is who youâd be talking about though. You sure this is the right guy?â
âAbsolutely. How the fuck do you know him, you literally study old books for fun and heâs a dancerâ
âWe grew up together dipshit, and donât shit talk about my major. It's not like yours is anything useful either.â
He really got Jisung there. On the Minho thing, a music degree is perfectly useful, thank you very much. Unless he ever decides he wants to do something that isnât specifically music production, but thatâs a thought for another time. Back to the whole Minho Problem. Thatâs right, itâs become a Problem, with capitals and everything. Could Jisung tell you why he cares so much? Not at all, but thatâs why he needs to get to the bottom of this.
âYou know, I really didnât expect that to be who you were talking about. As much as he was a pain in my ass growing up, being older and all that, he wasnât outright rudeâ Seungmin adds, âI mean heâs kinda got the closest thing you can have to a reputation on a college campus, dude gets along with everyone.â
âYouâre joking. Well clearly nobodyâs taken a dance class with him before. Or even heard that he dances.â
âYou do realize most of those people in your class are there for the sole purpose of taking class with him, right? The dance department shows are only as popular as they are because of him. I heard they even got more people auditioning this past week because heâs in the shows.â
Now that he mentions it, that does make a lot of sense. Jisung was wondering how it was possible for one person to attract that much attention, but if they already knew who Minho was, of course, they would be looking for him. It also makes sense as to why he might not remember Felix from the first day of classes as it sounds like auditions for the dance departmentâs production were why Minho couldnât make class. Seungminâs next statement snaps him out of his train of thought.
âYou know I feel like I should be a bit more hung up on the fact that youâve been calling my childhood friend âobjectively attractiveâ whatever the fuck that means, but I really canât bring myself to sit with that right now.â Leave it to Seungmin to find something even less helpful to interject with.
Jisung really needs to reconsider who he seeks advice from, maybe he should talk to Felix more. He really shouldâve lied about what he said about Minho, but seriously how was he supposed to know Seungmin was all buddy-buddy with him?
âWhatever man, Iâm going to bed. Iâll just like avoid him for the rest of the semester or something, doesnât affect me.â Jisung says to Seungmin, hoping itâs enough to keep his roommate from prying. âAlright? I assumed you caring enough to rant to me about it meant youâd do something about it, but thatâs not on me to inspire that in you.â he hears Seungmin snark in response. So what he knew Minho or something, people change from when theyâre kids.
Despite going into that conversation seeking the truth, or at least validation that Minho is totally, ultimately in the wrong here, Jisung canât feel anything but regret for how their conversation went down this morning. Now itâs not like all of a sudden Jisung thinks what he said was wrong, he just wishes he mightâve said something different so that he wasnât the most hated classmate of his TA. He just wants a good grade in his dance class, thatâs all.
As he tosses and turns in an attempt to get some sleep before his 8 am that night, he canât help but wonder why he cares so much about what Minho thinks of him.
Just a bit later, while far along the way to the land of dreams, Jisung blinks awake with a genius idea. You see, late at night, right when youâre about to fall asleep is the greatest time to come up with a plan. Well, not quite a plan, just a name:
Seo Changbin.

My Personal Opinions on Minsung's Dynamic (2024)
Disclaimer: I am not trying to pass off my opinions as facts. This is my personal interpretation of what is laid out right in front of us. I could be completely off base because I donât know these guys personally, so take this with a grain of salt and feel free to disagree!
THE YEARS KEEP GETTING LONGER đ«
I honestly thought this year would be shorter than last year because of the long break Skz had during the first couple of months, but luckily Minsung have been Minsunging enough to make my video the length that it is.
But as far as Lee Know and Han's interactions go, I feel like they - Han in particular, especially - look at some of the songs heâs released this year - found their footing/identity, at least compared to prior years. Lee Know is noticeably more playful with Han (on camera, at least). They seem a lot more comfortable to show that side of themselves.
Except for a few mentions here and there, they remain quite private and guarded about their hangouts. 80% of the time; itâs ALWAYS fans asking them about their hangouts or sightings. They hardly ever bring it up themselves. What came as a surprise and caught me off guard (not really surprising when you think about it) is them MOVING IN TOGETHER. It came out of left field, but itâs very much them.
We also kicked off this year with the Two Kids Show episode and since then (if my and some other peoplesâ thoughts about them are correct) they haven't been shy about showing/telling how much they mean to each other and how special their bond is.
I was one of the people who were skeptical about Hold My Hand having anything to do with Lee Know until I saw the repetitive stages (the transition of LK and Han shaking/holding each others hands, Han literally saying âMinho Hyung, hold my handâ while catching LK off guard the first time he did it, and THEN Han saying that the fans understood what he was trying to convey with the song - outside of the more obvious overall meaning of it being an ode from his current self to his past self.
Iâm certain some of the members and others have seen the many international fan theories about Hanâs song. (At the very least Chan would have, and he would have relayed it to Han, but I think Han would likely try to look at the many different theories across social media on his own for a song he wrote himself.) I also wonder if Korean fans were theorizing as hard as international fans were and what they came up with if they did.
When putting all of that together, it comes across a certain way and Han himself knows that. (If they are purely platonic, it would mean they don't mind that some fans perceive them that way. In that case, more power to them and the fans that ship them.)
People can write this behavior alone off as FS (which I think theyâre taking advantage of if you see my 2023 opinions and what I'm about to say later on in this essay). But, to me, it doesnât explain away the many other things weâve witnessed them do.
One moment I thought was interesting in the body-language-never-lies department (during the Bocau concert) was when Lee Know was waving his mic toward the audience when the members were taking turns singing their part of the song. As SOON AS HAN APPEARS ON THE SCREEN, he STOPS and his full attention is now on him, completely away from the fans. Then, he returns his attention to the fans when the screen switches to another member lmfao. Like, these two legitimately care about each other so much.
Then, thereâs the âSTAY Letâs be together for 100,000 yearsâ Big Baby/Little Baby YT Live where the two were all huddled up and close. Han saying âWe live together!â and seeming gleeful about that fact in a concert (where he answers the fanâs sign) is so sweet.
Some moments I found really funny:
-The happenings (if ykyk) at the SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer concert. What were they thinking- like, girl, what the fuck-
-Han checks LK out and goes "Oh!" when he crouches down during Day 3 of the Seoul concerts and does a full circle around to appreciate the view. đđ«
-And, whatever this was:
From all of the concert & fan meet footage weâve got this year alone (and holy shit, thereâs a lot). Thereâs literally no reason to think that they secretly dislike each other (you'll have people trying to insinuate that as pushback against the more passionate shippers). At the very least, they have a special bond/friendship. You can fake getting along with someone on a basic level on camera, but to have this much chemistry and gravitation towards each other - a lot of it is really subconscious, too - (i.e. Theyâre always looking at each other when something funny happens/when one gets embarrassed, they always talk to each other during the âments, LK always uses Han as a fidget toy, etc.) canât be faked and not with the amount of footage weâve seen of them for nearly a decade.
I also wanted to make an interesting parallel:
Plenty of people (at least the ones curious about inter-group dating) know about Seungho and B.nish of D.I.P. They came out as an actual couple on Instagram Live a few years back, and they've been dating each other since they were trainees, as of that Live.
A few weeks ago, I was thinking about those two when working on the video, and the age-old question, "If two bandmates were âsecretly" dating within a group, would they try to interact as little as possible or hide in plain sight?" came up. My opinion has always been that it depends on the individuals involved in the relationship and the types of people around them (different people with different personalities and lived experiences won't always approach something like this in the same way).
Sooooo I did a little bit of digging to see how those two interacted on camera and came across this video:
youtube
Look at 4:54, 6:05, and 6:52 (B.nish is the cute guy with the black shirt/orange patterns and Seungho is the guy with the blonde hair with shaved sides and leopard outfit). Or just watch the whole thing cause there are many little moments throughout the video.
The part where they link arms at 6:05 with one another reminds me of LK and Han linking arms in SKZ Code EP59 (around 1:11:35 in the chronology video where they played sports). đ
Then, I went on Vlivearchives to check out their page to see how they would interact in unedited content that spans for a long time ~ which weâve also seen Minsung interact in: the concerts and live streams, for example.
Link (B.nish is green shirt dude and Seungho is black hat dude) - Skip to 27:49-28:00, 34:58-35:09, 36:30, 40:15-41:03 and look at their body language compared to the other members (or look at 27:49 to the end if you have time).
and Link (B.nish is guy in blue cardigan, Seungho is guy in black t-shirt/black hat) - Skip to 47:00-48:00, 51:48-52:00, 1:17:22-1:18:03
AND OH MY GOD LOOK AT THEM!!! The vlives remind me of how Han/LK behaved in the YT live where they came up with the big baby/little baby nickname!!! BN/SH behavior also really mirrors how LK/Han are during concerts and how their body language - even when they're not speaking - says a lot.
So,,, the point is that I'm still on the side that thinks idols can absolutely take advantage of skinship (something not unusual between male friends in Korea, and especially in the environment where idols are in) and/or shipping culture to hide in plain sight. On the other hand, I think some people would try to hide away from the camera as much as possible. It really depends on the person at the end of the day! If there were more confirmed instances where two members in a K-pop group date each other, we could get a better overall representation of how they would handle this and how it would look on camera.
In addition: SNH 48, a C-pop girl group, I can name TWO instances where intergroup dating has occurred:
The member who cheated on a member with ANOTHER member (some of us might know about this haha) - the two members in the original relationship had a VERY fanservice-y stage (Link).
FengXiaoFei&WangJiaLing (the link is a compilation of some of their interactions. They came out as a couple after graduating from/leaving the group. Fans have speculated about them long before they came out cause they weren't hiding it. đ€Ż)

Whatever you want
Req by @intrikatie
Pairings: Minsung (It is not mentioned as a ship,you can put it as whatever you want, best friends,relationship,everything fits lol)
Genre: Fluff,comfort,a tiny bit angst if you squint
Summary: finally a day off at the beach. Minho and jisung are looking forward to some peace and fun. just lots of silly little cutie fluff
a/n:a little minsung drabble ( i wanted to post it at stay birthday,but i weren't feeling well so i post it today,one day later <3) requested by @intrikatie. Hope you like it! As always take care of yourself,go drink some water and have a great day.đ
"Give me ten more minutes"Minho whines. "No min,you already had twenty minutes to say bye to soonie,doongie and dori.its only a day" Jisung said,rolling his eyes.He had a annoyed undertone in his voice,also if he couldn't entirely hide that he found it cute when minho got all clingy and whiny about his cats.Especially since he usually wasn't very affectionate. Jisung pulled minho to his feet and dragged him to the car.Minho tried to free himself from jisungs grip,wanting to kiss his cats one last time.
"Nooo,my babies will miss me! I love you soonie doongie and dori!" He screams through the last open door slot.Jisung giggles and opens the car door.He sits down in the driversseat with a amused smile.With a pout minho sits down besides him,crossing his arms.Jisung only gigles at that.
"They will miss their dad"
"They will survive"
"I wanna drive"
"We talked about that"
"I hate you.and the babies hate you too." minho says stubbornly,looking through the window.
"I know you don't" Han giggles,squishing minhos cheeks.
"Yah!Look at the street!"
Jisung only continues giggling at minhos pouty attitude.He knows that he is looking forward to a day at the beach just as much as himself.They could relax,have fun and enjoy the warm,sunny weather,wich was a welcome change to all the stress
When they were at the beach jisung parked.Minho jumped out of the car,pulling the bags they brought out. Jisung also got out.he inhaled deeply.the fresh ocean breeze was relaxing and felt good in his usually always stressed mind. Minho pinched his side. "Ready to go down to the beach,or do you need time to process the air cause you don't know how it is outside the studio?"Minho smirks and runs down on the sandy beach.Jisung yells after him,following him with tiny runs. He acts annoyed as always but he enjoys finally seeing minho relax too.The comeback was exhausting for them all,and they all spent a lot of work and effort into it.It was a big relief that they had done it now,and that stays liked it so much. The others stayed at the dorms,wanting to do a live later.
When jisung approached minho he was laying the picnic blanket they brought,down on the warm sand. Jisung started packing out the food (Minho insisted on cooking himself besides bringing little snacks) and his little digitalcamera. "You still have this little thing?Isn't the quality extremly low?" Minho asks,taking out the ramen he had made earlier.
"Yeah but low quality is the best quality.It gives the pictures a little vintage touch."Jisung prudly says,standing up to take a picture of the ocean with his camera.Minho pats at the place he sat before and says: "Sit down sungie,i wanna eat and if you dont take your ramen i will eat them myslef." Jisung quickly sits down and takes the little box of noodles minho gives him.
They both quietly eat,looking at the soothing waves.
After a while minho speaks up: " Also if my babies will miss me the day long,this is really nice. Relaxing now that the comeback is finished. To just sit here and not having to do something for the camera" Jisung finishes his ramen and smiles at him. "You are right min.but you now when you won't be so relaxed anymore?" Minho looks confused now,but before he can answer something jisung jumps up,takes his shirt off and runs towards the water. "When i win the race who is first at the water."he yells,laughing. Minho doesn't hesitate to also take his shirt off and chase after jisung. They both land in the cool waves,laughing and almost choking at the water.
They splashed water at each other,not noticing that they went further and further into the deep water.Suddenly a big wave came.It was quick there and minho and jisung got pressed underwater.Minho immediately came back to the surface of the water.He coughed a bit and almost started laughing again but then he noticed that jisung was nowhere in sight.He looked around,but when jisung wasn't anywhere near to find minho got a bad feeling.
"Sungie? Han?" anxiety immediately filled his body.that couldn't happen...
He didn't hesitate when he dived into the water. He opened his eyes and after a few seconds he saw jisung.His foot was stuck betweent two rocks and he was anxiously trying to free himself.Minho dived down.His own air was getting less to but somehow he managed to pull the rock away,and jisung back to the surface.They dragged themself back to the warm sand.
Jisung coughed a little bit water out,that he swallowed when he panicked.
"Are you okay hannie? Oh god i was so scared.W-when the wave came and pulled us u-underwater and i immediately was at the surface again,but you w-weren't near and i...i thought you drowned or w-worse and-"
Jisung stopped the anxious rambling from minho, by putting his hand over minhos mouth.
"Min it's okay,i'm fine alright?" Jisung said with his voice a bit hoarse from the salt water but a smile in it.
Minho let out a shaky exhale,noticing he hadn't breathed. He leaned nearer to jisung,who wrapped his arms around him.
"Why are you comforting me now?"Minho asks skeptically,but laying down his head on jisungs shoulder.He was glad nothing happened to jisung.
Jisung chuckled. "You are like a little cat,you always need comfort and someone who tells you that things are alright"
Minho snorted. A little cat? Jisung had a courage to say that.He was the one always acting like a baby.Altough minho liked being a bit babied and cared for secretly.
They both went back to their things.trying to dry their clothes.After a good sun bath,one more snack time and a bunch of jokes it's time to go home.
"It's getting dark we should drive back to the dorms"Minho says,starting to pack up the things. Han nods and also starts packing things.But then he remembers something. "Min!Will you make a pic with me with the digitalcamera? I make pictures with is since our debut so i can remember every good moment we all have." Minhos gaze softens when he sees the excitement so bright in jisungs eyes. He sits down besides jisung,and together they make a few pictures,of them with the ocean on it. Jisung kindly smiles when he looks through the photos. He loved collecting memories. At the sight of him smiling at simple photos made minhos heart melt.Jisung was a pure guy.
but suddenly minho gets distracted.Jisung almost had a heart attack when suddenly minho jumped up and ran a few steps and then crouched down in the sand.
Oh no.Jisung knew that pose.It was his look-what-a-cute-cat-i-found pose.That meant they wouldn't be able to drive home for the next thirty minutes.
"Give me the cat food from my jacket"Minho demands and jisung sighs and walks over to him and the cat, with the food.
Minhos eyes sparkle.It looks like suddenly the cat put a thousands stars in them.Exactly like when jisung looks at his pictures. Jisung had to hold back his laughter,minhos felt the same with cats that he felt when he looked at memories.he really could be a weird but a really kind guy. But also,Jisung liked when his eyes were like this.They looked deeper than the deepest spot in the ocean,prettier than all the stars on the sky.Jisung would give the world just so that spark never gets lost.Jisung smiled and looked at the cat.
"It's really cute"
"Yeah right?! I wanna take it home but soonie doongie and dori don't want another brother." Minho says with excitement but thena little pout steals its way on his face. Jisung only laughs at it. "Come on min,you fed the cat well,it will survive but your real babies miss you.or did you forget them already?" Jisung faked a dramatic gasp. " I will drive home alone then and give them to felix." He said,sounding sad and dramatic. He walked to the car but minho ran after him,getting in first.
"Noone trades my cats."
Jisung laughs at the pouting boy.
"Whatever you want min."

Saw your post about Han's ships. My favorite is Minsung withouth a doubt. They just make me so happy. I love how much they just naturally gravitate thowards each other and how much silent communication they have. They really feel like soulmates.
I also need more Jilix, I love them and I need a jilix duet more then I need air. Also there is way too many instances of Jilix being super ready to share a bed in one of the codes and then them not ending up sharing :( - give me jilix bed sharing!!
I do like the other dynamics as well. But those two are my favorites. My interest in the hynjin and seungmin dynamics with Han has been growing [your post about the hynsung with hynjin throwing away han's fake rose and the head pat is still in my head, lol].
There is not enough Han and I.N content, both in the official channel and in the fandom space.
I saw a couple of compilations calling Han the Maknea of 3Racha and you can really see how much they threat Han like their little guy. Does that make sense?
Anywayy. Sorry for the mini novel in your ask box.
Hi hi I welcome all the mini novels about Han in my ask box, tysm for responding đ„čđ„č
Minsung are amazing, like you mentioned their gravitational pull is truly something spectacular to witness. They're so so fond of each other, it makes me so soft and goey inside. I love how they take care of each other. They really are perfect together, han always indulges every whim lee know has and lee know is so whipped for han, its like he's always falling in love with him by just standing next to him. đ„čđ
Jilix, I think literally everyone is a jilix enjoyer because it's just impossible to see them together and not go awww. I've wanted jisung to do a duet w every member, and I think a jilix one would be amazing. A lot of han's songs, I think he does a really good job with directing felix, like it gives us a new side of him. Also they're always singing together backstage! Get in a booth! I want to see them cuddle in skz code now too, I love seeing their skinship.đ Its really a relief that those two have each other. Their open affection is so so sweet. A squirrel and a little chick in this big big world, they need to stay together!
I think those are great picks, especially if you want to see cuteness overload.
Hyunsung JSJSJS Topline and I Like It are songs where hyunsung decide to just woo each other hahaha. I think before since hyunjin and hannie were living together I could see them recharging together at home n have an easy thing going which didn't take much thought on their side but now that they do not live together n do not share a literal bathroom together they're probably getting their clingyness quote fulfilled in public haha so we get to witness more of their cuteness.
Seungsung is the most different out of all of hannie's dynamics I think. They respect each other a lot and usually when asked to speak together they compliment each other, but I would also be interested to hear thoughts they have! I think admiration is very big in this dynamic tho. It's funny when I think back to their 2kids show, seungmin remembering when they hung out and han having to really try hard to recall but then seungmin is also quick to tease han in that one skz code with "I didn't miss you" when they'd first split into 2 dorms haha. I think I recall seungmin saying that he didn't know how to open up to same age friends, which makes sense there's a set expectation for how you're supposed to act w older and younger people in kr but same age you kinda I guess get to decide so maybe it's why there's more of trial and error process haha.
3racha: Ah this is a top tier dynamic, Maknae of 3racha, he's truly their baby. Like from everything like making him usually stand in the center, and letting him tease them and ganging up with him to tease the third member but never truly ganging up as binchan on hannie because he's their precious little guy!đđđ I really love it, they respect him, encourage him, acknowledge his talent and then han always returns that respect and encouragement, always modest and saying he learns a lot from them. 3racha has a bond like no other. Perfect trio bound by blood, I love you please do more vlogs together đđ.
Jeongsung: I know there needs to be so much more content and hype with these two, ugh. If you know anything about me as a stay, it's that I fucking love jeongsung. There's a couple fanartists and kr stays I have found who tweet about them regularly so if you want more crumbs LET ME KNOW! I think it's one of the dynamics that has a lot to it under the surface of the bit they play up of being I.n denying hannie's kisses hahaha. Like, these 2 used to share a room, much Like han being the group member channie has known the longest, that's also true for I.n. These two have seen each other go through so much so up close!! I think they live for being silly together on stage and offline these two do seem to spend a fair bit of time together but it's not mentioned until months later like "oh we went out to shopping and then" or " l was bored so I called innie over" even in the Australia talker for dominate the first person hannie tries to ring when he was bored was innie đ or how innie was the one who took the video of hannie singing in the car for his ig. They keep it lowkey but then out of NOWHERE last year innie thanks hannie in his ending ment for showing him how much strength the words "I love you" can give!? Like. HELLO?! WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME CRY LIKE THIS!!! Anyways, as you can see, I'm very normal about them!!
I'm sorry for this not so mini novel as well, I just love them all especially when they are soft with hannie my heart explodes. All January my mind has been whirring on about binsung and how fun they're, I can't catch a break. I will try to manifest jilix and jeongsung duets for skz recordsđđ
#thank you for responding to my post i really liked reading it!#ask answered#please feel free to freak out about any of these duos or trios in my ask box any time its always open.#han jisung#han#stray kids#skz#skz thoughts

My biggest peeve when reading Stray Kids fic or a social media au, is when the author has the nerve to deviate from my preferred pairingsđ
Because what do you mean the main ship is Minsung (great), but the side ships arenât Chan/Felix and Changbin/Hyunjin!?!?!?? Why? What is the reason? You canât have one without the others!!!!
#stray kids#this is a joke#for the most part as I do prefer what I said#but it usually doesnât ruin a fic or au for me#and if it does Iâll just click away but STILL#I be so interested in the plot then BOOM#my side pairings are all wrong lol

As a diehard Taekook lover myself, do you ever look at other ships and then side-eye yourself? That Mingyu-Wonwoo ship reflects the TK vibe a lot, i.e., âoh, he got jealousâ and Mingyu checking out Wonwooâs ass or whatever. Iâll be honest that I havenât spent a lot of time on the other ship, but it does seem like a similar playbook - or maybe just the kpop/HYBE playbook. I guess what Iâm saying is - I think thereâs enough data to think TK are in a relationship, but then you see other ships literally doing the same thing - it makes me question.
It's because I see a difference that I believe TKK to be real.
I think it's always useful to remember that Taekook aren't immune to fanservice themselves and that skinship has a name for a reason. So if there's recognisable elements across other kpop groups, that's to be expected. But on stage shenanigans and ass-slapping is not what stands them aside for me, you know? I find it quite easy to compartmentalise that into a little box labelled "cute because I love them but doesn't mean much."
It isn't a terrible thing to fanservice. They want to entertain after all. But I think we're pretty attuned to what feels real and what doesn't. The vast majority of the jealousy stuff is a product of shipping tiktok/YouTube that taps into a toxic idea of Jungkook being a bullish alpha that I don't find to be realistic.
But the consistent private time spent together, some moments of affection and regard that I simply haven't seen in other pairings and the Hybe effort to hide it is where I start to think wait, this is different to what I've seen elsewhere.
Fanservice there does not equal a lie here. If it starts and ends at fanservice, I'm probably side-eyeing the ship a bit. But that's not Taekook.
(I don't know a lot about Mingyu and Wonwoo other than knowing they're a popular ship. I'm a bit more familiar with SKZ Minsung but not that much. The only similar level of knowledge I have is Ateez WooSan and Ateez Matz and Ateez are singing from an entirely different hymn sheet that I don't really understand in the context of kpop shipping đ I don't think they got a copy of the playbook.)

Rogue waves (a Minsung pirate fic) Chapter Two
Masterlist
Warnings: pirate antics, Han is annoying, Felix cameo, alcohol mention
How frustrating.
Being dragged away from his desk while he was busy at work (drinking). Minho had ditched the captain coat and hat a while ago now, assuming heâd get a moment of peace
How wrong he was. Changbin barged into the Captains quarters without even knocking, blabbering on about the Crown Prince Han and his pleas to not be sent home. What a strange request from someone being held prisoner.
âIf I go talk to him will I be left alone for the rest of the night?â Minho asked
âMaybe, depends on-â Changbin began, before the captain raised a hand to silence him
âyou all let me have a minute to myself and Iâll deal with the prince, okay?â
Changbin nodded, a grin cracking across his face. âIâm serious Changbin, not a single person should even look at my door, got it?â Minho warned.
âWhatever you say, Captainâ Changbin knew the captain had no heart to actually lock any of them out, as tough as he acted.
Minho hurried off to the brig, eye twitching in annoyance. Who was Han to be requesting his presence? Trying to speak directly to the man holding him captive? Minho had to admit, he was ballsy at least, and he could admire that trait. He just wished he chose a time when Minho was less worn out from the day's work. It made the walk to the cell feel twice as long. When he finally came face to face with the prince, he couldnât help but pause. He didnât look nearly as terrified as anyone else would, in his situation. He took a breath.
âWell? What is it you want to bother me about when iâm trying to workâ Minho asked, crossing his arms. He could see Han shuffle on his feet nervously, mouth opening and closing as he searched his thoughts for something to say.
ââŠI want to negotiate with you about not sending me back home?â Han said, unsure.
Minho laughed, tipping his head back.
âWho knew royals were crazy! Youâd rather be at my mercy than go back to your safe kingdom?â The captain asked.
âwell yes- it's complicated! You have no idea how stuffy it is in that place, and never get to do anything interesting! Plus, my parents want me to get married off because i'm âtoo old to still be hereâ. Youâve got to at least drop me off wherever you stop next!â Han begged.
âYouâre also crazy for making demands of a pirate.â The captain mumbled, amused. ââŠWhat would even be in it for me and my crew? You donât seem like a hard labor typeâ
Han puffed his cheeks out in a sort of pout âI could do it, Iâd just need to be told what tasks to do!â
Minho paused, thinking.
âI guess we could find use for you.â He said, earning an excited squeal from Han. âIf,â Minho interrupted, âYou give us insider information. Ways to beat that damn Navy your family has, and where they keep valuables, Then Iâll let you stayâ
He could see the hesitance on Hans face a mile away, is eyes flickering back and forth between his own and the floor.
âThatâs the only way youâll help me out?â Han asked gently. Minho nodded.
ââŠI guess we can discuss it then.â
Maybe this wasnât a good idea. Minho was slumped back in his chair, contemplating why he agreed to this. He saw Han, yapping on and on about everything Minho didnât need to know. When did he even ask about the horses' names? Why did it matter? Was it too late to lock Han back in that cell?
He was really in for a long time when Felix joined the conversation. An endless back and forth of pointless chatter. Maybe he could toss Felix in the cell too. God help whoever had to assign Han tasks on the ship, Minho could already see him running someone over the side of the ship due to his talking.
âIâm sure this is all so important to know, but if i sit here for one more second i might collapse.â Minho finally interjected, his chair rolling back as he stood up. âMaybe you and Felix can go take care of things in the kitchen, and get acquaintedâ he added
Han blinked, rising to his feet. âDidnât you want to know-â Minho held a hand up
âWe can finish this conversation another day. You might as well learn some useful skills as soon as possible.â He gave a small smile âFelix will give you something to do.â and they were waved off.
Minho could only hope those two would stay focused enough to handle food preparation. It would be a shame to skip breakfast if things went wrong. The image of a messy kitchen sent a shudder down his spine.. Heâd have to see, he supposed.
In the meantime, he would have to lay out tasks for Han to learn in the next few days, and sucker someone into showing him the ropes. He already felt sorry for whoever would be teaching a prince how to clean, let alone any ship related task. Not to mention the chore of getting information from Han without him getting side tracked. He was beginning to deeply reconsider his moment of kindness.
It was going to be a long night.

Feeling better now?
T/W: mentions of illness, fluff
A/n: I can't think of titles lol-

ship: minsung
The day started HORRIBLY. Minho woke up with a sore throat and his face felt like it was on fire. He got up out of bed, and went to his nightstand drawer and took out a thermometer. He inserted the thermometer under his arm and awaited the 'beep' sound.
The faint beep sound from the thermometer broke the silence in the room, as he carefully took out the thermometer and inspected it, his eyes widened when he saw the 38°C, indicating he was sick.
He tucked the thermometer back into the drawer as he left the room to take a cold shower in the bathroom. After the shower, he went back to his room to put on some new clothes so he could eat, because his stomach was basically crying for food.
Minho slowly went downstairs trying to look as normal as possible, but a certain quokka who was standing at the kitchen didn't buy it at all. Hannie went up to Minho and asked him the question he hoped no one would ask, "Are you alright?" Minho responded with an, "I'm fine." Jisung eyed him suspiciously. He responded a bit too fast for comfort, so he asked again. "Are you sure you're alright?" Minho sighed before responding again, "Yes I'm fi-" his words got interrupted by a sudden sneeze which made Jisung look at him in shock.
Minho cursed himself internally for sneezing so sudden, he was hoping to save himself from Jisung's scolding and him snitching to tell the leader. Jisung looked at him like a mother caring for her sick child, immediately asking him if he was alright and placing a hand on his forehead, only to flinch away from the heat. Jisung stated firmly, "Minho. You're sick, you're staying home, no excuses." The said person's eyes widened as he stuttered out protests and excuses, but Hannie cut him off before he could continue.
Now, Minho was laying on the couch while Jisung was busy making soup so he could drink it. He stirred the soup one last time before pouring it out in a bowl with a spoon and went to Minho with it. Jisung tapped his cheek, silently telling him to open his mouth and when he did, he slowly fed him the soup until it was finished. When the soup was finished, Jisung ran to wash up the bowl and pot before going back to his favorite kitten and sitting beside him.
Minho eyed Jisung carefully before going into his lap and curling up into a ball. Jisung cooed at the sight before running his fingers through his hair, smiling when he subconsciously leaned into his touch. The two stayed like that for a while before Jisung heard soft snores coming from a certain kitten in his lap. He carefully got up and carried his sleeping hyung to his bedroom and laying him on the bed before going beside him. Soon Jisung found himself glued to Minho's side, sleeping peacefully.
The next day, Minho felt better than ever, and it was all thanks to his favorite dongsaeng, Jisung.

hello! currently looking for rp partners for SKZ, 18+!
this is my first ever post on tumblr (and in trying to seek out rp partners lol), pls be kind :D
my writing style is typically 2-7 paragraphs with moderate detail in 3rd person present tense; however, i am human and sometimes lack energy (lol who doesnât), so i may have replies on the shorter side, and i am totally fine with that being reciprocated! one-liners is the only response i will not tolerate-
i am a sucker for friends/strangers to lovers plots. i also enjoy university auâs, historical, fantasy, and slice-of-life. iâm down for mostly anything, but i donât possess the ability to write for omegaverse. i will write sfw & nsfw.
i prefer to rp as lee know & han, but iâm open to ot8! along with that, ship-wise, i prefer minsung (wow wouldnât you know), but again, iâm open to mostly all :)
i donât have any triggers, but i will absolutely not write for anything that is objectively morally incorrect/illegal. (i donât feel the need to clarify what categories that falls under)
i am a college student, so my replies can be delayed! there are days i can easily go back and forth with you, and there are days iâm totally absent. iâll try to communicate this when it arises!
my messages are always open. pleaseee message me [begging] i can rp on here or discord!
other notes: my time zone is CT. i really enjoy getting to know my rp partners ooc! i looove yapping. if there is a boundary youâd like to set (i.e strictly ic/rp), please let me know beforehand!
