a/n: here is my part for the @mxwriters monsta x greek mythology collab!!! check out the other works here and stay tuned for the rest! :) this one-shot is partly inspired by the Percy Jackson universe and partly inspired by the otome game Astoria: Fate’s Kiss... yes, i know - also! check out this super cool moodboard @softckyun made for the story!!!

At first glance, you’d think him something unreal.

His presence commands a room’s attention even when he himself seeks no such thing, and it can’t be helped for passerbys to throw more than one glance his way. And yes, while he doesn’t blame them (their mortal minds know something is great about him, they just can’t exactly fathom a son of a god amongst them, let alone the son of the king of gods but I digress), it can get pretty freaking annoying.

Jinyoung heaves a heavy sigh after his next customer wades to the side along with the growing sea of humans that had already piled there, eyes practically in the shape of cartoon hearts while they look past him and toward the real vision: his coworker Hyunwoo, son of Zeus and probably the only reason the manager would have to start enforcing a rule for baristas to wear cardboard boxes over their heads.

“’m sorry,” Hyunwoo whispers to Jinyoung as he tends to the other register, managing to make a caramel macchiato and take the next person’s order with relative ease, “there’s a lot of mortals today.”

“No shit. I’m tired of you getting all the attention. Falling in love at a coffee shop should be a once in a lifetime thing, you know.” Jinyoung nudges the older boy with his elbow and prepares to take the next order, but manages another sly remark as the customer ahead decides on what they want, “With all the attention you get, I’d think you were Aphrodite’s kid.”

Hyunwoo makes a face at him, “It’s not falling in love if I don’t fall back.”

Which was true. While Hyunwoo did have extremely masculine features and a cute smile to go with it, his admirer to actual relationship ratio was probably a billion to zero. As far as Hyunwoo was concerned, all the googly eyes and flirty gestures added up to nothing for him if he didn’t get a tip in return. Was it harsh? Probably not for a college kid trying to help support a single mother in New York City.

While the other baristas and staff had thoroughly given Hyunwoo the “you’re lucky you could catch a date so easily” talk more times than he’d have particularly anticipated (or liked), he still couldn’t find it in him to care. Even when customers would scribble their numbers on napkins to hand to him, he’d politely put a line through it with his sharpie and toss it in the nearest trash bin when no one was looking. He wasn’t mean, he was just... not interested.

Besides, if some of the customers took off their rose-tinted glasses, they’d notice that Hyunwoo was actually good at his job, something he took pride in but rarely got credit for.

“You’re right. But you’ll see someone one day who’s a little easy on the eyes and we’ll see where it goes from there.” Jinyoung comments while counting money from a mermaid, her gills reflecting along her skin the vision of a highlighted pattern that no human could see.

Hyunwoo decides he doesn’t want to answer, and instead focuses on finishing the next thing, topping off the hot chocolate with extra whipped cream. When he turns to call out the name of the recipient, he begins to take the next order... only to fall silent.

It takes Hyunwoo a total of five looks before he realizes that the person before him is, in fact, human, and not a ray of sunshine personified. Even if internally he still has his denial, your very human aura makes his mind blur with confusion.

Your cheeks are flushed from the cold weather outside, hair a windblown mess but nowhere as bad as to deviate from your natural beauty, the very thing that strikes him to think you’re not mortal. You aren’t without flaws, of course, but the simple look of you is far too enchanting to place on any other human he’d encounter in his day. It felt wrong to lump you in with your own kind, almost.

You were also seemingly oblivious to his surprise, an easygoing smile on your face as one hand worked to fix your hair and the other fished out your wallet from your messenger bag at your side, “Hi! Can I have a smoothie?”

Even your order makes him puzzled.

“In this weather?” Is the first thing he can get out, and he’s positive he looks like a fool with eyes bugging out of his head and mouth agape, a thing that happened often to him on a daily basis when anything particularly out of routine happened. To most, it was endearingly attractive, but he rather likened himself to a confused blowfish at best.

You watch as he looks you up and down, taking in your borderline summer clothes and lack of layers. Instead of taking offense to his inquiring tone and gaze (something he’d feared for all of three seconds), you release a breathy laugh that tinkles like Christmas bells, “Ah, yeah. I guess I’m a little warm blooded and craving something fruity.”

Well, it wasn’t like he could (or would) deny you what you wanted. After all, even if you did freeze from the inside out, at least you’d go out with a delicious blend of the best fruits delivered right from Olympus.

Getting your flavor and tallying up your total with uncharacteristically shaking hands, he takes your ten dollar bill and gives you a gold Olympus coin. The engraved face of his father stares back at him from the coin, dropping his eye down in a wink before he dropped said coin in your hand. But to you, it would just be seven dollars and twenty-two cents. The Olympians weren’t really too fond of having to take two types of currency when one of them was magical and conformative to whatever it needed to be, and no human would be the wiser.

You stare a little too long at your hand before quickly pocketing the money and taking your receipt, shooting Hyunwoo a tight-lipped smile and moving to the side.

Hyunwoo, much to his distress, finds that for the first time since he’d first trained to get the job here, he suddenly can’t remember how to make a smoothie. His hands fumble for the right cup, grabbing paper instead of plastic. He grabs the bag of chopped mangoes instead of chopped strawberries. He even nearly blends until your smoothie goes from delightfully thick and fluffy to nearly watery, but he stops himself just in time.

He hopes the flush on his face doesn’t show too much when he turns around to hand you your drink. “Here’s your...” his voice tapers off when he finds that where he left you is not where you currently were. Where you once stood is now occupied by someone else and you are nowhere to be seen.

He panics, wondering if he’d been overworking so hard that he was starting to see things and you weren’t even there to begin with (and that scares him, because demigod hallucinations were on a whole other level in comparison to human ones). It hadn’t been the first time he’d done so either which was even more nerve-wracking, when he sees you crouched on the floor next to a flustered dryad whose white tinted sheer dress had a growing brown stain running down the front. The cyclops he’d served a vanilla latte to was standing a few steps away from the two of you and looking extremely upset, an empty cup in hand. Clearly, something had happened to result in the dryad’s dress getting ruined, and she looked absolutely mortified.

“I shouldn’t have left my tree...” She mutters in a fluttery voice, looking just about ready to run away in embarrassment.

You, who really shouldn’t have heard that, only smiles and retrieves some napkins from a nearby booth to hand her.

“It was an accident. I was just... startled...” The cyclops explains, casting a worried glance your way, and yet you don’t bat an eyelash. You continue smiling, oblivious that you’re standing between two creatures of folklore that shouldn’t- no -don’t exist in your world.

The dryad looks dejected that her dress is stained, but she still bows her head at you while clutching the napkins to her stomach, “...it’s fine.”

He imagines what the dryad looks like to you; maybe a small, shy girl with a drenched tank top or something. The cyclops: a bumbling teenage boy with legs too long to coordinate sometimes perhaps?

Regardless of what you see, you’re shrugging off your worryingly thin hoodie and handing it to the girl, none too worried about what that would mean for you when you walked back out into that cold again in only some shorts and a tee shirt. You had no warm drink to keep your blood from freezing in your veins either. Now he was really puzzled. “Take this,” you say softly, “you must be freezing in just that.”

The dryad looks at you for a long time, shyness dissolving into confusion. “I’m... I’m sure you need it more than I do?” Her statement comes out like a question at your generosity.

“Nonsense. I work down the street, it’s a quick walk. I won’t freeze to death.” You hold it out even closer to the dryad until she finally relents and accepts it. She wraps your jacket around herself awkwardly, not quite used to wearing clothes that weren’t what dryads usually wore, and then bows to you again for good measure. You seem to think nothing of it.

Hyunwoo calls out your order number and you whip around, whisper something to the dryad and the cyclops before approaching the counter. “Sorry I held you up.” You say, taking the smoothie from his fingertips, and he so badly wants to switch it out for a boiling hot tea or something, anything but that despite the deeply satisfied look on your face when you take it.

“Are you sure you don’t want something warmer? You said it’s a quick walk to your job but it’s still pretty cold out-” “I’m fine! I swear, she needed that coat more than me.” You cut him off and start to back away, Hyunwoo’s expression surely showing his clear confusion about you dubious level of “fine”.

He watches you sprint away from the cafe in a rushed set of steps, mouth never departing from your straw until you’ve walked down the block and out of sight.

Sure enough, the cyclops makes his way over with his now empty drink and hands Hyunwoo a gold coin, of which Hyunwoo ignores in favor of taking the empty cup instead, “What happened there?”

The cyclops deflates a little and his eye rolls down to look at the counter instead of the son of Zeus, “I was just... walking, and they looked me right in the eye...”

As Hyunwoo wipes off the cup to prepare his drink again, he frowns, “The dryad looked you in the eye?”

The cyclops shakes his head, “No! The human. It was like they knew what I was.”

Hyunwoo freezes in preparing the drink, “That’s... I’m sure you were just imagining it. They’re completely human, they couldn’t possibly see your eye.”

The cyclops, looking a little dispirited, rubs his arms and shifts his weight from foot to foot, but doesn’t try to argue as Hyunwoo continues making the latte.

Yet, even Hyunwoo can’t help the nagging feeling he gets when he thinks about it again. It was strange how you acted after the whole ordeal, practically running away from him. He can tell even Jinyoung, who has taken over the counter in Hyunwoo’s stead, looks a little interested in what the cyclops avoiding either of their eyes has to say.

When he turns to hand him the drink, the cyclops suddenly gives Hyunwoo one last look, “Are you sure they were totally human?”

This time, Hyunwoo doesn’t feel as confident when he nods his head in an answer.

With how fast you’d ran the last time he saw you, Hyunwoo had very little hope he’d ever see you again. The customer with freakishly good tolerance for the cold who disappeared leaving more questions in their wake than Hyunwoo was comfortable thinking about. You weren’t a big thought in his mind, rather a splatter of thoughts. He would be reminded of you when sifting through the fruits in the fridge, or when a cool breeze would rush in behind an incoming customer. He’d remember you when a sliver of sunlight would blind his eyesight. If someone could tell him how to forget a complete stranger, he’d gladly take the advice.

He sits in the very back of Zeus’ place and mulls over his psychology homework with a disinterested eye; he’d much rather be working than doing this, but Jinyoung had been serious about not switching tasks for the night like he’d done before. Hyunwoo had always made sure Jinyoung got the hours Hyunwoo worked for him, but the younger believed if Hyunwoo was going to make any progress, he’d have to do his homework himself.

As if to mock him, Jinyoung comes by to needlessly scrub a nonexistent stain on Hyunwoo’s tabletop, “How’s it going, oh son of Zeus?”

Hyunwoo resists the urge to stick his tongue out at him, “How do you think?”

Jinyoung snorts and decides to drop that subject completely, “That new kid, Sanha, was it? He looks up to you quite a bit.”

At the mention of the giant seventeen year old, Hyunwoo smiles and pushes his homework to the side as Jinyoung drops into the seat across from him, “Funny how a cafe called Zeus’ place only has two kids of Zeus actually working in it.” “That’s cause your half brothers and sisters think they have better things to be doing like saving people from burning buildings and breaking trees in half.”

Hyunwoo’s glare says it all, “You’re really stuck on those stupid stereotypes.”

“Nah, I just like to tease you. I don’t mean any of it.” Jinyoung grins in reply, and then switches to a more serious expression, “So... I’ve noticed you’ve been kind of weird lately.”

Hyunwoo is just about ready to get offended before Jinyoung holds up his hands, “You’re seriously distracted. It’s like... in spurts. You’ll just look a little lost and contemplative and it’s kinda freaking me out. Are you okay?”

Despite being the younger of the two, Jinyoung sure had a gift for feeling like a big brother figure. Hyunwoo found himself opening up to Jinyoung so easily these days; it wasn’t an easy feat to hide how he felt from the boy.

“Do you... remember that person, the one who got mixed up in the cyclops and dryad incident, that came to the cafe a week ago?”

Jinyoung shakes his head at him, “Just barely?”

Hyunwoo’s shoulders fall, “Well... it sounds stupid, I know, but I haven’t been able to forget them. That cyclops sounded like he was truly sure they knew what he was, but that’s impossible right?”

Jinyoung stares at Hyunwoo for a bit, arms crossed along his chest. After a few moments of thinking, Jinyoung blew a heavy breath of air, “It’s not... impossible, per se.”

Well, this was a first.

From the first time Hyunwoo had been told his father, who he assumed was just some deadbeat on the other side of the country for the majority of his life, was the king of the gods, Hyunwoo had been discovering something new day after day. One thing he’d been told about though was that humans could only see what they were allowed to see, which was zip, usually. The world he was half a part of was only visible to him because of his father and nothing more. If his mother had known earlier that the man she fell for was Zeus of all beings, she might’ve rethought having a child with him. At least, at first.

She’d made it clear she didn’t regret having him for one second, just wished he could live a normal life like she wanted him to. And anyway, by this point, Hyunwoo was far too used to the abnormal to care about a “normal” life now.

“I’ve never heard of humans who could see past our facades. Not unless they were allowed to, but the glamours here are far too strong for there to even be a chance.” Hyunwoo frowns.

Jinyoung frowns back, “There are humans who can, but it’s very rare. Usually the mortal parent of a demigod has the Sight, but there are some gods that hide their true identity and those people never find out until the child is born. They’re allowed to know the truth about their child, but that’s maybe the extent if they didn’t have the Sight before. It’s a complicated thing. Even the gods don’t know how it originates or who it won’t and will touch.”

This was a whole new playing field. If you were a human with the Sight, you surely didn’t give it away. Either that, or you were used to being able to see his kind and all the others. Too bad he couldn’t see you again to ask.

“Don’t think too hard about it, Hyunwoo. There’s nothing to fear of a human with the Sight.” Jinyoung is nonchalant as ever, even going as far as to give Hyunwoo a small smile. “You can be one of the few who can say they met one they weren’t related to.”

Hyunwoo, on the verge of saying something more, is interrupted by a burst of cool wind brushing against his skin all of a sudden. A customer had arrived.

Jinyoung springs into action faster than Hyunwoo could see him get up, the younger already halfway across the shop and behind the register in time for the new customer to acknowledge him, “Welcome to Zeus’ place, how may I... oh. Hello.”

Hyunwoo’s eyes move from the homework before him to what had rendered Jinyoung surprised, only for his own mouth to drop open in awe at the person who’d entered.

There you were once again, now appropriately dressed and looking rather warm in a persimmon trench coat and cream sweater. Most of your hair is hidden by the sheer thickness of the black scarf wrapped around your head until you pull it down to reveal your mouth, grinning at Hyunwoo and completely ignoring Jinyoung altogether, “Oh, I wasn’t expecting you to be here.”

Hyunwoo blinks, looks down at his spot, and then looks back at you. By the time he’s returned his gaze to your form, you’re already stepping into his personal bubble with hands shoved deep into your pockets. He startles some, cutely fumbling over his words, “Y-you expected me somewhere else?”

“Well, yeah! Behind the counter. Guess it didn’t really occur to me that you take shifts and all...” You awkwardly trail off, eyes looking elsewhere in embarrassment. Hyunwoo can hear Jinyoung mumbling something along the lines of “well hello to you too, then” as he leans on the counter and finds a spot to laze once again.

Hyunwoo isn’t really sure what to think; he’d been thinking about you this whole time, but only when he actually mentioned you out loud did you show up. On top of that, you came expecting him to be working. Had you been thinking about him too?

The flustered boy finally gathers his bearings when you take the seat Jinyoung had once been occupying, your lips upturned into a calm smile. How did you manage to always looks so at home with yourself no matter the situation? “I see you finally feel cold.” Hyunwoo says, pointing at your coat.

Your laugh makes his cheeks warm at the very sound, “Oh yeah! I don’t know what it was that day that made me completely impenetrable to the cold, but it has definitely worn off. I can’t leave the house without gloves and a scarf now. I actually saw this place on my way home from work and thought I should get something to warm me up... it’s awfully empty in the late evening hours here.”

Hyunwoo nods at you, “That’s why I come to study at this time... you know, if you want something warm, I could whip up something.”

You raise your hands up and shake your head, a bit cautious, “Oh no, I couldn’t. You’re studying!”

Hyunwoo just smirks and shoves his things to the side, “Don’t worry. I was having a hard time focusing on it anyway. I like working my hands more than my mind.” He hears you slide out of your seat behind him as he walks toward the counter, making eyes with Jinyoung who looks between the two of you before taking his cue to disappear. Hyunwoo heads over to the sink and briskly washes his hands, glancing over at you over his shoulder, “What are you in the mood for?”

“Chai latte? And maybe a muffin on the side. Chocolate.” You settle on the bar stool at the counter, crossing your arms over the wooden counter-top and watching Hyunwoo nod an affirmative, already getting to work like muscle memory.

You watch the barista in wonder, eyes seldom leaving his form as he did his thing. He was right about liking to work with his hands. It was almost second nature to him how he maneuvered around the small space, barely noticing how focused you were on him as he worked.

Several minutes passed until there was a steaming mug before you and a delectable looking chocolate muffin sitting beside it right after. The sight was absolutely documentation worthy, so you swipe out your phone and position it above the drink and muffin to snap a quick photo before looking back up at Hyunwoo, the boy looking a bit proud that you found his creation picture worthy. “This is amazing... Do you make coffee art often?”

Hyunwoo glances down at the detailed rose he’d made in the foam of your latte and blushes, “Sometimes... do you like it?”

Your reaction is instantaneous, “Hell yeah! I’ve never quite seen anything like this before. You’ve got a real talent, Hyunwoo.”

Hyunwoo’s eyes widen at the sound of your name passing through his lips, for a few reasons he wouldn’t exactly admit out loud, “Uh... you know my name?”

It seems it’s finally your turn to look embarrassed. You immediately bite your lip in response, looking literally anywhere else but at him, “I... I just remembered your name from... last time. Is that weird?”

“I won’t think so if you give me yours... just to be fair.” He says back, voice a little softer now. The embarrassment you felt was quickly overshadowed by his reply, your fingers twiddling nervously as you made eye contact with him once more and tell him your name.

Your name... it was rather special. Just like you.

Of course, no matter how much of an inner cheese ball Hyunwoo really was, he could never say that out loud. Instead, he sticks with something simple, “I like it. Now we’re even.”

Again, Hyunwoo can hear Jinyoung muttering somewhere nearby about the two of you that neither of you can pick up on, but it doesn’t bother him one bit.

As you two fall into a surprisingly natural conversation, doubts that were currently swimming in Hyunwoo’s mind fade like the minutes going by. Everything you two talk about is incredibly ordinary; from the murky weather that had been haunting the city for the past week to how classes at uni were going for him, your conversation had never bordered anything questionable. He knew you were an office worker in the city, hired straight out of high school into a prestigious company you wouldn’t give the name of (”maybe I’ll tell you next time” said with a flustering wink) because you were just that smart, but you didn’t carry the same hurried aura of typical office workers he served often. What were usually curt and frazzled robots shuffling in through the place every morning, you contrasted them completely. With bright smiles and a laid back attitude, you never seemed close to being as stressed as all those other employees.

By the time it’s time to close, Hyunwoo finds he’s nowhere near through with his homework, but his mind is a lot clearer as both he and Jinyoung wave you away for the night. You promise to come by more often if Hyunwoo promises to keep making coffee the way he does, and then you’re off in a taxi and gone with the bustle of the city that never sleeps.

Of course, Jinyoung gets a bit of teasing in before he wishes the eldest a good night and offers to give him a ride home... that of which Hyunwoo denies in favor of a little fresh air instead. Jinyoung doesn’t bat an eyelash; Hades was his uncle after all, if anyone gave him trouble there would surely be literal hell to pay.

On his way home, Hyunwoo can feel a bit of childish excitement bubble up in him at the thought that he would soon be seeing you again. Hyunwoo had never been so enamored so quickly, and there was no blaming him as you were quite the charmer. Not only were you a charmer, you were also safe. Safely ordinary, safely average, safely human. There was nothing out of this world about you, at least not in the literal sense. Despite some of the comments about how tough it was for demigods to date humans, Hyunwoo was fairly certain he could have a chance with you. Besides, it wasn’t like he had to reveal his ancient Greek god ancestry on the first date. He could save that for later!

Oh... oh goodness, he was already fantasizing about a first date.

There isn’t a day on the job that Hyunwoo isn’t seeing you now, and he can’t help but perk up a little on shift whenever he hears the doors to the cafe open and invite in a new customer. At this point, Hyunwoo can’t even pretend that he’s not like an excited puppy awaiting the moment of the day you’d come in and ask for some new drink you’ve never tried before. You never let him get used to anything, always challenging his idea of exactly what kind of person you really are.

At this point, Jinyoung had a mountain of blackmail against Hyunwoo... if only Hyunwoo was in any way upset about it, it might have been great. He’d never seen someone’s head so in the clouds for someone they hadn’t even actually gone out with yet, and even he found himself cracking out just how adorable it was with the sight of him whenever he saw you. He would have felt worried if you weren’t so blatantly obvious that you felt exactly the same.

After having seen the smiles on Hyunwoo’s face become easier whenever you joked to him or how the demigod’s hands didn’t shake when he passed you your drink of the day, all Jinyoung was curious about now was when Hyunwoo was finally going to ask you out.

“I was thinking soon, okay?” Hyunwoo says with a small pout one rainy Friday morning, cleaning out a glass with his back parallel to the younger’s at the cash register. “It isn’t really date weather lately.” To punctuate Hyunwoo’s concern, an almost terrifyingly loud clap of thunder sounds outside and the rain that was falling so fearlessly turns torrential.

“It doesn’t have to be outside. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be anywhere else. It could be here after a shift or something. Just do it before your googly eyes get you in trouble.” Hyunwoo knows Jinyoung is referring to the slightly lovesick daze that had him stumbling over orders whenever you were actually in the shop. It was starting to show to other customers who had historically been interested in Hyunwoo, and the jealous stares did not cease whenever you entered the building. Not that either of you seemed particularly aware... or caring.

“I don’t have googly eyes!” Hyunwoo says, but can’t help a little laugh that passes his lips at the thought. He really does, even his mom said so, but he wouldn’t ever admit it.

Jinyoung just scoffs in answer, taking a customer’s order without difficulty while managing to keep up with Hyunwoo still, “That’s what someone with googly eyes would say.”

Hyunwoo sets the clean glass down and looks behind him to scold Jinyoung once and for all, even through a clearly amused smile on his face, when he realizes that something has changed about the atmosphere... you’re here!

He immediately spots you rushing in from the rain with a red umbrella dripping in the water of Olympus, your face scrunched up into a happily content expression when you get a little rain on your coat. You quickly close your umbrella and grip the wooden hook at the end when you spot Hyunwoo too, your eyes brightening and your hand flying up into an enthusiastic wave. Hyunwoo doesn’t hesitate to do the same, missing the whispered “googly” from Jinyoung as he quickly transitions into taking over Hyunwoo’s previous job. The amount of times He’d done so before just so the handsome boy could speak to you were too many to count that by now it was natural to do so whenever you entered.

The line that you stand in shortens too slowly for Hyunwoo’s taste, but soon you’re standing before him and grinning brightly, “Morning, Hyunwoo! How are you?”

“As good as I can be in this weather.” He says with a fake glum look and points out of the window, as if you weren’t well aware of how horrendous the rain was being today. “But I get off early today, so it’s alright. What about you?”

You let out a soft sigh, running a hand through your hair and momentarily stunning the demigod before you, “Well... my boss is being generous to me since my work is all pretty much done before the weekend, so he’s letting me out after lunch! I was wondering what I should do since I wasn’t prepared to have all that free time to myself, and all my friends have made plans already...”

Hyunwoo knows he should take your order since the line is starting to increase behind you, but he honestly couldn’t care less when he listening to you talk all day, “Oh yeah? There isn’t much to do in this rain, unfortunately.”

You hum, tapping your nails against the counter, “Not so! This is perfect date weather.”

Hyunwoo’s eyes enlarge and you watch with amusement, the boy flitting over all the sudden thoughts threatening to escape his head from his mouth in a mess of disorderly words, “Oh, uh... a date? A-anyone special in mind?”

Jinyoung gives up the facade of his pretending not to be eavesdropping when he snickers under his breath. Oh, he really was quite a dull one when it come to things like this.

You match Jinyoung’s snicker with your own, nodding an affirmative that has Hyunwoo growing a bit nervous with palms that start to clam up, “Yes, actually. He’s standing before me with the cutest “deer in headlights” look I’ve ever seen on someone before.” At the same time, you drop your right eye down in a wink. Hyunwoo lets out a puff of air and suddenly feels awfully parched.

You don’t wait for him to answer even as he scrambles to regardless, fishing out a small notepad and pen, “It’s funny you asked... I was actually planning to ask you first...!” You smile at his embarrassed tone, scribbling down your number and sliding the piece of paper to him. The customers behind you are getting a bit restless now, so you tell him you’ll have a chocolate mocha latte and he scrambles to put your number deep down in his back pocket so he won’t have any chance of losing it, a rosy blush settling on his cheeks as he inputs your order.

Jinyoung works just as quickly to make said frap (or maybe Hyunwoo had taken longer to put in your order than usual thanks to how excited he was at the prospect of you asking him out on a date), having the cup set on the counter the minute Hyunwoo exchanges your cash for a gold Olympus coin. He hands you what he owes you and you pocket the money, taking a quick sip of your drink before sighing in delight, “Pretty good choice.”

Hyunwoo blinks at your blissful expression, attempting to keep from gnawing his lip to death, “S-so uh... where would you like to go? Movies, dinner...?” He asks, falling short at all the options you two might have in the rainy weather.

Taking another draw from your straw, you shrug your shoulder nonchalantly, “Oh, I was thinking a picnic at Central Park!”

The demigod looks at you in confusion rivaling the look he’d given you the first day he’d met you, asking for that ice cold smoothie even though it was near freezing outside. “But... the rain-” “I’m sure if you put in a good word with your father, he’ll make it sunny all weekend.”

Hyunwoo’s jaw drops as you smile again, moving out of the way so the next customer can spout their order to him, though his eyes are still fixed on you as you begin to walk away, “Text me, okay? I’ll bring the snacks if you bring the frisbee!”

And with that you’re gone, red umbrella inflating and moving with the crowd of busy New Yorkers trying to get somewhere dry in a hurry. All of Hyunwoo’s confidence that you were just an ordinary person in ordinary New York flies out the window with all of his competence, and even Jinyoung is looking rather shocked as he watches you go from behind the son of Zeus, “Well,” the younger starts, arms folded across his chest and ignoring the upset customers with ease, “what are you wearing on your date?”

The ride up in the elevator feels oddly longer than usual, though you can’t exactly complain about an express elevator from earth to Olympus, could you?

The gold plated interior seems to shine more as you ascend further past the clouds, your eyes hooded in puppy love mania. It had taken all of your strength not to squeal the minute you saw that look on Hyunwoo’s face when you asked him out, the idea that you two would be going on a date soon making your heart flutter wildly. If Hyunwoo really didn’t put in a word with his dad, you sure would. You had waited far too long for this date to let a little rain ruin it for you.

As the doors open, you’re greeted with a warm breeze that immediately has you shrugging off your raincoat and stepping out into the lavish lobby of Olympus HQ. The creature at the front desk looks up from her work and smiles at you, all three of her mouths turned up in a kind greeting, “Morning, (Y/N)! Back from Zeus’ Place so soon?”

You set your drink down on her desk and toss your sweater over your arm, tugging at the neck of your blouse to allow you some cool breeze against your warm body. It wasn’t your fault you had to dress accordingly for your travels to earth even though Olympus was perpetually warm and sunny all the time, now was it? Thankfully, you kept a more breezy change of clothes in your office thanks to your new routine. “Ah, yeah. I finally asked him out, Alethea!”

The creature claps her hands together in happiness, “That’s great! When are you two going out?” “Today, hopefully after I get off lunch. We’re going to have a picnic in Central Park.” You feel yourself giggle as you gush to Alethea, the creature having known about your crush on Hyunwoo since the day you’d first encountered him. The smoothie incident had forever been burned in your mind as one of the most awkward things you could have done, but you did spend quite a bit of time surrounded by gods and monsters alike. Sometimes, you had to be reminded of where you originally came from and what was genuinely accepted down there.

Alethea shakes her head and chuckles, “Well, that’s good. Nilos left some work on your desk about the upcoming meeting of the gods. You just need to file a quick report on any strange happenings on earth. You know, the usual.”

You hum an affirmative, noting it was never a truly dull day in the life of Olympus’ earth correspondent, even when it came to paperwork. You take your drink and wave goodbye to Alethea, walking across the hall to enter your office. You set your drink down on your desk and drop your jacket over your chair, kicking off your shoes and letting yourself relax into the plush stuffing of your loveseat. Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows across from where you sat was the warmly colored oasis of Olympus. Clouds of cotton candy pink and people of all shapes, sizes, and colors bustled about the city of the gods like every other ordinary day. You watch on with a warm smile, tucking your legs underneath you and pulling out your phone when you feel it vibrate in your back jean pocket.

On the screen reads an unknown number, but you don’t need a name to know exactly who it’s from.

You Get Distant After An Argument ~ Son Hyunwoo

The distance between you both on the sofa broke Hyunwoo’s heart as he looked across to you. It was his fault, but it didn’t make the emotions of it all any easier for him to deal with as you felt so far away from him.

There was no response from you as you sat down, blocking him out of your vision as you scrolled through your phone. “Stop staring at me,” you did warn though, knowing what he was doing.

“I can’t help it,” Hyunwoo sighed, knowing just how predictable his behaviour would be for you. He was the same after every argument, he worried about you, especially when he knew that he was the reason for upsetting you.

“Look somewhere else,” you added, “watch a programme or read a book, anywhere but at me.”

You made it sound so easy, but as Hyunwoo continued to try and fix things, those were things that he just couldn’t do. “What do I have to do to prove to you just how sorry I am Y/N?”

You placed your phone down, but kept your eyes looking forward, not giving into Hyunwoo. “What is there that you can do to prove to your partner that you’ve made a mistake when you call them clingy? Probably not a lot.”

“I know that I messed up, but I didn’t mean to say that you were clingy, I just got my words confused,” Hyunwoo tried to tell you, but all he got was a scoff from you in reply. “I’m trying here Y/N, why can’t you do the same?”

“What have I got to try for?” You responded, your voice getting louder each time you spoke. “If I try, then you’ll think that I’m clingy again, won’t you? I’m doing what it seems that you want and giving you some distance.”

He couldn’t kick himself hard enough for his poor choice of words that had driven you away, more than anything he wished that he could take it back. But he couldn’t. Hyunwoo had dug himself into a hole that now he needed to get out of.

As the room fell silent, you picked your phone back up, not bothering to hear if Hyunwoo had anything else to say. Your words had stunned him, sent a shiver down his spine as you reminded him of how thoughtless he had been.

Truthfully, you weren’t quite sure how you found a way back to be your usual selves again. The thought of being a clingy person was one that terrified you, and to hear Hyunwoo accuse you of being a one was your worst nightmare. Even if he didn’t mean it, he’d said it, which was more than enough for you.

“Please,” a voice suddenly whispered from across the room as Hyunwoo watched you slip away.

You wanted to look at him, but you just couldn’t, the sound of deep and nervy breaths soon followed, a sound which you tried your best to push to the back of your mind.

“It doesn’t have to be this way,” Hyunwoo tried to tell you, “can’t we at least just talk about this rather than carrying on as we are?”

“I’m listening,” you frowned, “although this better be good.”

To find it within yourself to forgive Hyunwoo was going to take something special, he had no idea how much he had hurt you, how badly the thought of being clingy had played on your mind and left you doubting so much of your relationship too.

“Sorry is never going to be enough, is it?” Was the first thing that Hyunwoo asked.

Hyunwoo waited for a moment, hoping that you would look across at him, but it never came, your eyes were still busy elsewhere, simply shaking your head back at him.

You knew that he regretted it, you knew that he never meant to say what he said, but you couldn’t carry on just hearing with words that you weren’t clingy. You needed to see it, have it proven to you to feel comfortable around him again.

“Can you come a little closer?” Hyunwoo nervously asked you, tapping the large space that was between the two of you on the sofa, inviting you in.

“What for?” You asked, momentarily looking down to where his hand was placed, unsure whether you wanted to move across and be near to him or not.

A soft sigh came from Hyunwoo, “please Y/N, this is me trying.”

You knew that you couldn’t argue with him as he spoke, placing your phone down yet again and moving in towards Hyunwoo. You were tentative and you were slow, with Hyunwoo moving closer too to stop you from getting away.

As soon as you were close enough to him, Hyunwoo wrapped his arms around you. There was nothing from you, you didn’t move at all, but it was nothing less than what he expected as he began to break down your walls.

You found yourself more guarded around Hyunwoo then you ever had been before, suddenly finding yourself scared of what you could and couldn’t do around him.

“I really am sorry,” he whispered to your ear, “you know that don’t you?”

“Of course, I do.”

It was a start for Hyunwoo, relieved to at least hear a calmness in your voice this time that had been missing for a while.

“You know that I would never consider you as clingy, I love your affection, being held by you and being made to feel loved by you,” Hyunwoo tried his best to explain to you.

“Why say it then?” You challenged, staring down to the ground, “I don’t understand where that thought would come from so randomly.”

Hyunwoo could only shrug back at you, he had no idea himself. “I wish I could tell you, but I really don’t know. The only thing that I can say is how wrong I was to ever say that to you.”

“Does a small part of you think I’m clingy?”

“Absolutely not,” Hyunwoo immediately responded, squashing any thoughts that you had immediately. “I can’t begin to tell you how annoyed I am at myself for even planting the seed in your mind that you might be clingy, I should have thought about what I was saying to you.”

Your head couldn’t help but nod in agreement, if only Hyunwoo had been a little more thoughtful then perhaps the two of you wouldn’t find yourselves on edge around one another.

“There’s a small part of me that worries that maybe there was some truth to it.”

“I appreciate that,” he assured you, “and I’ll keep working until I can prove to that part of you that there was no truth to it too.”

Your smile turned up weakly as Hyunwoo’s grip around you tightened. “I don’t ever want to be clingy around you, if you feel like I am being clingy, then I’d rather you just say to me, even if you’ve never felt it before, but in the future.”

“I know that that will never happen.”

“But it could, this has scared me into thinking that it’s a possibility,” you admitted to him, “with time maybe I’ll stop feeling that way, but even though you’ve apologised Hyunwoo, this isn’t going to be an overnight fix.”

His head nodded back at you, “I’ll do whatever it takes to get you to believe me, just as long as we don’t carry on as we are right now.”

“I don’t think we need to go back to that place either.”

midnight black;

dark, almond shaped eyes peer into the camera, about five feet away.

his gaze seemingly tired, but no.

just blank, cold.

he knows he’s pretty; his fans, his bandmates tell him so.

jet black hair falls over his pale features, casting a shadow over his eyes.

his features, prince-like, beautiful.

black is his color, works the shade like it was only made for him.

lithe, long fingers dance across his thighs as he sets himself up for another pose,

donned in expensive diamonds, he lifts his head.

looks at the camera, like he does every time,

sultry,

cold,

lust quickly glazes over his irises as he takes in the sight of his lover across the room;

and he sees sunflower yellow.

won’t be long - son hyunwoo

genre: a mix of fluff and angst??

requested? yes!!

word count: 1.2k

warnings: implied prejudice? i made it as vague as possible

A/N; i was going to make this a drabble initially but it turned into a short scenario so i’m sorry if this isn’t long or short enough for you ;-;

Shownu walks into the bedroom, sliding his duffle bag off his shoulder and onto the floor next to the bed. He sighs as he falls back onto the bed, head rolling over to look at you sitting in front of your vanity mirror, making yourself look presentable.

“I told you making the dinner date with your parents on a day you have both dance practice and gym all day was a bad idea” You smile cheekily, looking at him through the mirror.

“I know, but it’s the only day they’re both free at a decent time” He exhales with a groan.

“Just don’t pass out at the dinner table, okay?” You giggle, loving how cute and sleepy he looks right now.

“I won’t, my mum would smack me” He exhales.

“Speaking of… I’m really nervous to meet her… and your dad too, of course” Your smile fades quickly, you stare at yourself in the mirror as you get lost in your nervous thoughts.

“Hey, don’t be nervous baby”, Hyunwoo sits up and walks over to you “I’m sure they’ll love you”.

“Well I hope so” You exhale, trying to calm yourself. Hyunwoo squeezes your shoulders as his hands slide down and wrap themselves around you. You lean back into him, smiling up at him. He pecks your lips as he strokes your cheek lovingly.

“You really need to shower, stinkyhead”, You snicker cheekily “and be quick, I’m almost ready and only need to get dressed”. He chuckles at you, shaking his head.

“I won’t be long”.

You’re sitting across from Shownu’s mother as he sits next to you across from his dad. It’s a bit of an awkward silence at first, everyone wanting to end their hunger and digging in ASAP.

“Thank you so much for having me here tonight, this food is amazing!” You break the silence, smiling brightly and nodding towards Hyunwoo’s mother.

“It’s no problem at all, I wanted to cook all my best dishes for tonight and give you a proper introduction” His mother smiles back just as brightly, making you feel warm inside.

“So, you met Hyunwoo through work?” His dad asks, his seriousness feeling a little daunting.

“Yes! I was on the video team for one of Monsta X’s reality shows and I was assigned to video Hyunwoo”, you start to blush a little as you remember how you fell for him “getting to follow him around all day and film him being his goofy self really made me fall for him so fast”. You can feel a warmth rising throughout your body as you can feel Shownu looking at you with nothing but love and adoration. He reaches over and gives your hand a squeeze before eating another scoop of his Kimchi Stew.

“I’m glad we finally get to meet you after 7 months, Hyunwoo’s father and I have been pestering him to meet you when it was only 4” His mother laughs. You laugh along with her as you look at Shownu with an eye-smile, he returns it.

“Yeah, to be honest we didn’t even think you’d last past 2 months”, his dad laughs “what with you two being complete opposites of each other; culture and personality wise”.

You suddenly feel a nervous pang in your stomach as you nervously laugh to try and save the awkwardness. You can practically feel the cold radiating off Shownu as he freezes in place, already knowing where this is going.

“W-what?” You stutter, trying to process and understand if his dad meant what you thought he did (and was hoping he didn’t)

“Oh you know, people from your country and of your culture tend to be really wild and crazy”, his dad puts his fork down to properly explain “whereas here we are more reserved and responsible, especially people like Hyunwoo”.

You’re baffled, not even knowing what to reply or do. You look over at Shownu and his jaw is tense and he’s gripping his cutlery so tightly his knuckles are white.

“He doesn’t mean it that way”, Shownu’s mother tries to step in “we know you’re not like that now, meeting you and hearing how Hyunwoo talks about you, we know you’re different and committed”.

“Yeah, when Hyunwoo first told us about you we really had our doubts because as I said; wild and crazy, which means commitment issues”, his dad doesn’t bat an eye as he continues his problematic explanation “but you’ve definitely proven us wrong and shown us you’re not like them”.

“Sorry…them?” Your brain butts in before you can decide whether to retaliate or not.

“You know, the rest of- “

“Dad, enough!” Shownu cuts his dad off, slamming his cutlery against the table. His parents jump in shock.

“Just stop, you wonder why it took me so long to introduce my partner to you yet say stuff like this right to their face? How can you not put two and two together? As soon as I told you their race you started with those same assumptions and even though they were proven wrong so early on in the relationship you still held onto them, and still do clearly”, Shownu stands up as he rants on “and I love you guys, I really do, but when you do and say stuff like this it really hurts me, especially right in front of their face”.

You can do nothing but look forward into the abyss in shock as you listen to him.

“I plan to spend the rest of my life with this person, this beautiful person who I care about so deeply and while I usually would ask your approval, this time I won’t because I have everything I want and need in my life, this person right here has just completed that” Shownu grabs your hand tightly as he continues. Your cheeks go bright red as your heart soars; you really adore him.

“Now, I think we’re done here”, Shownu pulls your hand up “when you want to apologise you can call me”.

Shownu grabs your bag as he pulls you out of the door, his parents say nothing and just sit in shock as you two leave.

It’s quiet as you come out of the bathroom to Shownu sitting shirtless on the side of the bed as he gets ready for bed.

“Hyunwoo?” You say softly.

“Yes, baby?” He replies just as softly, looking up at you with his gentle eyes.

“You know you didn’t have to do that for me, right?” You walk towards him and sit on his lap and rest your head on his shoulder and link your arms with his.

“What do you mean?” He puts his phone away and focuses on you, holding your waist with one hand and holding your hand with the other.

“Snapping at your parents like that”, you pout “I’d hate for you to risk your relationships with your parents because of me”.

“Honey, no! Trust me I’m not risking anything”, Shownu reassures you “I couldn’t just let them be rude to you like that, they’re mature and will realise their wrongdoings and apologise in no time okay? Don’t stress”.

“Okay, I trust you”, you give him a smile with sparkly eyes “and I can’t lie and say that seeing you defend me like that wasn’t sexy and didn’t make my heart tingle”.

Shownu chuckles at that confession before cradling your cheek in his hand as he brings you in for a passionate & loving kiss. He pulls away delicately, keeping his face just centimetres away from you.

“I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you” He smiles; you swear you can see the entire universe in his eyes.

And it’s all for you.

The Apple of My Pie - Shownu x Reader

Pairing: Shownu (Monsta X) x Lover!Reader

Summary: Y/N has been dating Shownu for a little while; on a beautiful sunny day, the leader of Monsta X decides to go apple picking with Y/Pronoun and it turns out to be a perfect date.

Warnings: None, it’s mostly fluff. A little bit of anxiety.

Word count: 1.3k

A/N: I wrote this for my best friend, hope you’ll enjoy it too!

___________________________

Fall had settled in: days were shorter and colder, Halloween stores were opening up, leaves were falling… everything felt cozy and I could not wait to enjoy this beautiful season with an even more beautiful person, my boyfriend, Son Hyunwoo, a.k.a Shownu, or Nunu, as I liked to call him.

A few months ago I had moved to Seoul with my best friends and that’s when I met him in a café. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with his kindness and, as he keeps telling me, for him to fall in love with my sweetness.

Shownu called me on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, his voice filled with warmth, and suggested a trip to go apple pick. Of course, even if I was lazily laying on my couch with my friends, I still accepted, shaken by sudden excitement.

“Oh my God, what am I going to wear?” I squeaked while rushing to my room, nervous thoughts filling my head.

Even if I had been dating him for six weeks now, I was still anxious to go out; I stressed about how I looked and how I sounded, the things I said and the things I didn’t say.

When I talked about it to Shownu, he was surprised and he kept trying to reassure me; which is why even though my heart was pounding, I knew that nothing could go wrong. That’s the effect he had on me: he felt like a soft breeze slowly hugging me on a warm summer night, whispering that everything was going to be alright and that I was good enough.

So, with that in mind, I simply jumped into a comfy outfit and waited for my prince charming to pick me up. When he did, I couldn’t stop smiling.

“You look amazing,” he complimented me, a shy smirk on his lips.

“Thank you,’ I replied with an equally awkward smile.

He offered me his arm until we reached his car, and then he opened the door like a true gentleman.

What did I do to deserve such a man? I thought to myself.

During the ride, he asked a few questions and seemed really interested in my answers; something that isn’t given to just anyone. I inquired about his work too, and his friends. He told me a story about something funny that Jooheon and Minhyuk had done the day before and laughed to himself. The wrinkles by his eyes and the tip of his teeth showed, which caused me to smile even more.

He was so adorable, with his shoulders that kept going up and down, that I couldn’t hold my chuckle either.

It was simply a beautiful and pure moment.

We enjoyed the rest of the ride with some chill background music and small talk, both him and I feeling perfectly comfortable with each other. I could tell by the heat that was settling down in the pit of my stomach and the soft hold of Shownu’s hand intertwined with mine.

Soon as we arrived at the destination, Shownu rushed to open the door once again and wrapped his arm around me in a protective way. I had gotten used to his almost-fatherly side and enjoyed the way he took care of me. Once he paid for a large bag to fill with fruits, we started to walk between the hundreds of apple trees. The leaves were brushing over my date’s head since he was tall, but he didn’t mind. The weather was perfect, just chilly enough for me to have a reason to stay glued to Shownu’s side and him to squeeze even harder.

We started to pick up some fruits, showing our discoveries to each other to judge if they were good enough. At one point, I noticed the perfect apple, way too high for me, but I still tried to pull it off, tip-toeing.

I heard a deep chortle and felt Shownu getting closer behind me. He picked the apple without any problem and handed it to me, but before I could grab it he pulled back.

“Hey!” I squealed with a laugh.

He took a few steps backward as I was taking some forward.

“Give it to me, Nunu!”

He smiled again, his wrinkles popping up another time.

“If you want it…” he started, unsure, “you have to give me a kiss.”

I tilted my head, my cheeks reddening under the request. But, I was up for a challenge.

With a shy smile, I walked to him and placed my palms on his chest.

“Come here,” I whispered, my eyes filled with adoration.

Shownu obeyed and leaned down, offering me the perfect angle. I softly pressed my lips against his.

The kiss was as sweet as honey; the taste of apple, one that Shownu had eaten off of a tree, was lingering on his mouth. He deepened the embrace as he wrapped his biceps around my body and pulled me closer.

It’s not without smiling that I quickly pulled away and grabbed the apple from his hand.

“Hey!”

I started running the opposite way and heard him follow, with some difficulties since he was carrying a heavy bag of apples.

It took merely a few seconds before he caught up to me and in a quick movement, he stopped me by grabbing my waist with one of his arms. I openly laughed while he stole the fruit again and put it down in the bag.

We chuckled for a good bit, seeing as I was out of breath for the little I had run.

Once we quieted down, we went on another stroll and admired the beauty of the scenery.

“Huh… Y/N?” said Shownu with a lot of hesitation.

“Yes?”

He seemed a bit nervous.

“Would you like to take selcas with me?”

“Oh Nunu, I’d love to!”

He suddenly looked like a kid at a birthday party, when the cake finally arrives. With distinct joy, he carefully placed the apple bag on the ground and got his phone out. Unsure, he placed an arm around my shoulder and raised his camera to get a better angle.

I smiled for the first picture, kissed him on the cheek for the next, pulled a cute face for the other one, and made a peace sign for the last one.

“God, you’re so beautiful,” Shownu mumbled as he was scrolling through the pictures on his phone.

“Well, thank you, you’re not too bad looking yourself,” I joked while looking at the screen over his shoulder.

He chuckled and put back his phone in his pocket.

“Shall we go, then?”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Hand in hand, we slowly walked back toward the car, not wanting the day to be over just yet. Fortunately for us, the ride was quite long and offered us some extra time together. I felt like we were even more comfortable now than a few hours earlier, and I was grateful for it.

“I had a really great day,” I finally said, minutes before we would reach my apartment.

“Me too,” Shownu replied shyly. “It was perfect.”

I nodded in agreement.

“Y/N…” he then added, unsure.

“Yeah?”

“Can I tell you something?”

“Of course”

He parked the car in front of my place and turned the engine off. He took a deep breath and looked at me.

“I really like you, you know that right?” he asked.

I nodded again, afraid that if I’d talk my voice would crack.

“Okay, well... I think I… I think I love you.”

My heart was threatening to beat right out of my chest, but I didn’t care. I blushed profusely and blinked way too many times, wondering if I had heard right.

But I knew I did. Shownu’s gaze was filled with passion and desire, a look that I could never forget. I too took a deep breath before answering, gathering all the courage that was left in me.

“Shownu…” I began, my voice slightly trembling, “I… I think I love you too.”

Torture (Shownu One Shot)

Pairing: Shownu x reader

Genre: Smut, I don’t even know where it came from

Word count: 720

Warnings: slight smut, swearing

A/N: welp, I have no explanation for this other than I was thirsty af. I haven’t written smut or anything resembling it in a looooonnngggg time so I’m slowly getting back into it. I might write a part two, who knows? Feedback is always appreciated!

You looked down at your handy work with a wicked grin on your face.

You’d finally convince Hyunwoo to let you be the one in control for the night. You’d never been with someone who was so set on always being the dominant figure in bed but after a good amount of begging and maybe a few surprise blowjobs, he’d finally agreed.

So, here you were in a new lingerie set, straddling his naked body while he was handcuffed to your headboard.

And goddamn was it a pretty sight.

You’d spent the last half hour mercilessly teasing him, taking your time with every single touch. You ran your nails down his exposed chest, smirking as he hissed at the feeling.

“I swear,” he said through his teeth, “if you don’t do something soon, I’m gonna break these,”

You chuckled a little, feeling confident as ever.

“I’d love to see you try baby,” you winked as you fiddled with the handcuffs, “but these are the real deal. And I’m the only one with the key,”

“Jesus fuck,” he breathed, “you’re kidding me,”

You circled your hips on his painfully hard erection before leaning down to capture his swollen lips with yours.

“Baby,” You purred between kisses, still grinding down on him, “I know how strong you are. I wasn’t about to waste my opportunity with some flimsy ass handcuffs. You’re gonna have to be more… descriptive… if you want me to do something.”

“Please,” he half whined, music to your ears, “anything.”

You bit your lip at the sound of him desperate for whatever you were willing to throw his way. You reached into the drawer of your night stand and pulled out your sleep mask.

“Remember,” you chuckled, “you said anything. Now, be good and lift your head up for me, love”

To your surprise, he did as he was told but by the look in his eyes you knew you were in for it later making your body tingle in anticipation.

You placed the mask over his eyes after placing a chaste kiss to his soft lips. You grinned as his lips tried to follow yours as you pulled away, clearly wanting more.

“Patience, love,” you tsked as he huffed in frustration, jutting his lips to a pout.

You settled your hands on his chest before attaching your lips to his neck, reveling in the breathy moans that left his mouth as you moved your way down his fit body. You loved that this was your chance to worship his body the way he deserved, especially with how hard he worked all the time.

Your lips trailed down his chest slowly, happily taking your sweet time. Your nails dragged down the sides of his body, his breath catching in his throat.

You continued your way down by alternating between little nips and barely there kisses that were affecting him more than he wanted to admit, but you could clearly see it, his whole body was covered in a light sheen of sweat and you hadn’t even gotten to the best part yet.

You stopped at his hips, sucking harshly to leave just a few marks.

“Fuck,” he growled, straining against the handcuffs, “you’re killing me baby.”

You cocked your head to the side, quirking an eyebrow even though you knew he couldn’t see you.

“You’re gonna have to tell me what you want then baby,” you said smoothly, running your nails down his tense thighs.

“Your mouth,” he gasped before biting his lip.

“Where, love?” You asked with a bit more dominance to your voice, “you’re gonna have to be more specific if, otherwise I’m just gonna keep going at this pace.”

“I want your lips around my cock,” he said between gasps.

“Hmmm,” you pondered aloud, kissing around everywhere except where he wanted, “I don’t know, it doesn’t sound like you want it that badly.”

“Fuck,” he whined, sounding desperate, “I need your mouth, baby please.”

Satisfied with his response, you flattened your tongue and ever so slowly dragged it up his whole length causing a shudder to rip through his body. You grinned at how responsive his whole body was now. Usually, he was the one torturing you for hours on end but this was your payback and you were gonna enjoy every single second of it.

Mafia!Monsta X Reaction to...

Author's Note: Lowkey wanna write a whole series about mafia!reader and Monsta X. Gifs are not mine!

Genre: Mafia AU

Contains: violence, knives, guns, poison, gangs, swearing, mafia!monsta x, mafia!reader, badass!reader, fem!reader

Summary: You were a member of one of the most powerful gangs in the country, and you and your boyfriend (also a significant mafia associate) had gone out to a club for the night. You had left your boyfriend at the bar while you used the bathroom. When you came back there was some drunk floozy leaning way too close to him for your liking...

Shownu

You weren't too worried, though. This chick was obviously from out of town and was not aware of who Shownu belonged to. But there was no doubt in your mind that she would know you, for stories of you power seeped throughout the whole country.

You casually strolled back to your man and draped your arms around him, planting a kiss on his lips. He smiled at you when you pulled away.

"Who's this, baby?" you asked, batting your eyelash at the now terrified girl.

"N-No one," she stuttered. "I was just leaving."

"Good."

Wonho

You didn't really have a problem with personally teaching this woman a lesson for flirting with your man but your quite liked your current attire and couldn't bare the thought of ripping something or having it stained with blood. So instead you sent a couple of your henchmen to deal with her as you slid onto Wonho's lap and kissed his sweet mouth.

"Have I ever told you that I love you?" he asked with a smirk.

"Yes but tell me again."

Minhyuk

Your immediate reaction was a heavy sigh. Not again. Your next move was strutting over to the bar where the girl and Minhyuk were. Pushing between them, you perched your foot on a bar stool and slid the dagger out from your shiny boot. The girls eyes widened as you whirled on her, twisting the knife skilfully around your fingers.

"Listen, honey," you said, pointing the sharp weapon at her throat. "This man right here is mine so I suggest you back the fuck up before you get smacked the fuck up you get hurt."

Minhyuk smirked, proud of you for not taking anyone's shit. He like this possessive side of you.

Kihyun

You decided to go for a subtle approach in handling the bitch on your man. While she shamelessly flirted with Kihyun, you came behind her and silently slipped something into her drink. Kihyun saw you and you gave him a wink before disappearing again. A minutes later, the girl was shaking violently on the floor, foaming at the mouth.

"That'll teach you to flirt with my man," you said, standing over her body before the bouncers dragged her away.

Kihyun hugged you from behind and whispered teasingly into your ear, "That wasn't very nice, kitten."

"I didn't get to where I am today by being nice, Kihyunie."

Hyungwon

The second you saw the women, you had your gun out ready to fire. You stepped in front of your boyfriend, aiming the hand gun at the spot between her now fearful eyes.

"Leave before I blow out your brain, assuming you have one that is."

Hyungwon wrapped his arm around your waist and watched the another woman scuttle away. "Thanks, princess. I didn't know how to tell her she reeked of desperation."

Jooheon

Jooheon tried his best to tell this girl that he wasn't interested because he was already in a relationship but she just wouldn't listen. So he had no sympathy for her when you marched over ready to beat the shit out of her, the baseball bat in your hand dragging menacingly across the cold club floor.

"I tried to warn you. I'm a happily taken man. It's such a shame this is how you'll be meeting my love."

I.M

You marched right up to the women, ripped her away from Changkyun and punched her square in the face. Changkyun loved the way the neon lights from the dance floor caught on your brass knuckle dusters and watched the two of you brawl (you clearly winning) for a little bit before pulling you off the another girl.

"That's enough, baby. I think she gets the message."

[Fulfilled] Behind the Scenes

Prompt: ShowKi + canon compliant + Monsta X Ray episode with kids + Kihyun and Shownu really like taking care of children together and grow crushes on each other + fluff!!

Fulfilled by Mod Ree~

Words: 1185

AO3 Link

Second request picked from the random generator~! Happy New Year everyone! <3

Kihyun chuckles under his breath, brushing his pink hair behind his ears as he watches Hyunwoo play with the boys circling him.

“Come play with hyung~” Hyunwoo invites the children, causing Kihyun to yelp out in laughter.

“Songsaengnim,” he gently reminds the older, a fond light in his eyes. The black-haired man tosses a ball up for the boys to catch, their innocent little giggles surrounding him. Kihyun finds himself staring a bit too long, forcing himself to tear his eyes away. Minhyuk’s looking at him with a knowing gaze, hugging the girl in his lap close, and Kihyun merely shakes his head, giving him a bemused smirk as he stands to get to know some of the other kids.

He can’t let anyone get the wrong idea, especially not with so many cameras around. He has to keep a handle on himself.

“Ah,” one of the teachers calls, getting Hyunwoo’s atentin easily as she leans over him, “it’s good that you play with the children, but please sit up even if you’re tired… We don’t want the children thinking they can lie down.”

“Oh, of course,” Hyunwoo says, immediately sitting up with a slight blush painting his tan cheeks. He quickly glances around, not even realizing he’s looking for Kihyun’s supportive eyes until after he figures out the younger is no longer looking at him… Hyunwoo turns to continue playing with the children, his demeanor slightly subdued now in disappointment, though it doesn’t show to the untrained eye.

The day passes by much quicker to the boygroup members than they’d have thought when they found out what they’d be doing to film the day’s episode. Before they know it, lunch has been served and it’s time to gather the kids together for the afternoon activity.

A magician has been invited to the school, an older woman with short dark hair and enough energy to more than keep up with the kids. Kihyun sits among the children, as do his fellow members, and he watches with rapt attention as the woman starts her explanation of what she’s doing. She says she’ll be playing with balloons… but she’d forgotten them! Kihyun gasps along, helping the kids get involved in the scenario.

“Let’s ask for help from the MONSTA X teachers!!!” the woman suggests. Kihyun feels his heart stop, absolutely not wanting to get called up… He looks at the kids, smiling brightly as he suggests the one person he knows he won’t get crap from later for doing this.

“Shownu-songaengnim!!” Kihyun calls playfully. He hears Minhyuk’s raspy laugh behind him, and some kids even begin to clap along with each other. He looks over to Hyunwoo, an apologetic look to his eyes. Better you than me, he silently says with a half shrug. Hyunwoo chuckles, clearly embarrassed at the unexpected turn of events, and he slowly stands and lumbers over to the woman.

The woman holds out the bag behind the man, saying he needs to fart into it. Hyunwoo hikes his shoulders up as if pretending to fart, even shaking a little to really play along for the kids. He doesn’t want to ruin their fun, after all…

The magician cheers, signifying Hyunwoo’s done enough. He quickly goes back to his seat, ducking his head despite his size like am embarrassed student who’d been called to answer a problem on the board for the class. His ears and neck are dusted an adorable pink, and Kihyun finds it hard to tear his eyes away. It’s rare for him to see the strong, silent leader so sheepish, and it makes him all the more endearing to the main vocalist.

Before they know it, it’s time to say goodbye to the kids. There’s tears, laughter, and broken hearts as they depart from the daycare center and return to their dorm. The van is oddly quiet, some boys sleeping while others just stare out the window, replaying all the day’s events in their mind. Kihyun finds himself staring at his new wallpaper, for now, a selfie he’d taken with some of the kids.

“They were sweet,” Hyunwoo comments, his breath ghosting over Kihyun’s ear. The vocalist looks over, his heart beating a bit faster, and he smiles so easily looking at Hyunwoo. He nods his agreement, giving a soft hum.

“I hope we see them again someday…” he sighs, leaning towards Hyunwoo instinctively. Hyunwoo nods once, shifting in his seat to accomadate for Kihyun. He even goes so far as to gently raise his arm, placing it along the back of the seat.

Kihyun chuckles, glancing to make sure the manager isn’t watching before resting his head in the nook of Hyunwoo’s neck. Heat pours off the older, like Kihyun’s own personal heater, and he finds he doesn’t want to pull away, even after they pull up to their home.

“You were really great with them, hyung,” Kihyun compliments, his voice soft and just between them. Hyunwoo physically ripples at this, sitting up a bit straighter as if proud of the compliment. Kihyun snickers breathily, liking when his humble hyung shows confidence. Kihyun feels himself fall even harder, thinking of how that one kid had even given him a kiss while everyone was cleaning up from naptime. He finds it easy to envision Hyunwoo as a father, seemingly distant but all warm and fuzzy inside for his kids.

Kihyun gulps thickly, trying to push the domestic thought from his mind.

“It was… nice,” Hyunwoo says, earning a curious look from the younger.

“What was?”

A sweet, perfect Buddha smile comes to Hyunwoo, his eyes turning to crescents.

“Seeing you with the kids.”

Kihyun’s eyes go wide, in all honesty not thinking he’d done that great of a job with them. He’d let his own nerves get in the way for a while, after all. His ears flame red at the compliment, but he plays it off as amusement, pushing a breath through his teeth.

“Of course I was good with them,” he says, puffing out his chest in faux confidence. “After living with you all, I think I could handle thirty kids for a day.” Hyunwoo laughs so genuinely, breathy and high. He hugs Kihyun round the shoulders, giving him a small kiss to the temple. He keep shis head pressed against Kihyun’s hair, as if he’s intending to rest there for the rest of the ride.

Kihyun, on the other hand, is inwardly freaking out. All this skinship all at once, unprompted… He tries not to read too much into it, but he can’t think of how else he’s supposed to be interpreting this.

“It reminded me of why I care for you so much.”

Kihyun almost chokes on his own spit, umable to believe Hyunwoo could just come out and say it like that, so factually, as if it were obvious. He glances at Hyunwoo from the corner of his eye, the older’s smile remaining on his plump lips and showing no sign of falling. Kihyun finds himself smiling, too, eased by that smile…

“Same here, hyung,” Kihyun agrees, snuggling a bit closer affectionately. “Same here~”

He’s the one who wrote the Korean lyrics, with the second verse being changed from English to Korean at the last minute.

For the occasion, a mascot, named Wootteo (meaning space wanderer), has been created and got its own Instagram account (English translation of the posts). Wootteo was originally called Woodol but for copyright reasons, it had do be changed.

BEST FRIEND MONSTA X A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Son Hyunwoo

A ⇴ ATTENTION

He was very protective of you and so Hyunwoo would mainly have his attention watching over you because he wanted to make sure that you were safe, and so that he could step in if you were feeling uncomfortable at all.

B ⇴ BICKER

The two of you didn’t tend to bicker too much with each other as you got older. Hyunwoo hated bickering with you because he was used to being the leader mainly and trying to be mature about situations, whereas bickering reminded him of how he used to be as a kid before he took on all of his responsibility.

C ⇴ COMFORT

One of the best things about having Hyunwoo as a best friend was that he was always right by your side whenever you needed comforting. He always knew exactly what to do, whether that was give you some space or a hug or sit and silence or talk things through with you, he did whatever you wanted to do.

D ⇴ DISAGREEMENTS

There was a very little chance that Hyunwoo would let the two of you disagree about something for too long, he was used to having to squash arguments between the other members in the group and did the exact same with you too. Most of the time he’d end up deciding that the two of you should do what you want to do as he didn’t want an unnecessary argument to start between the two of you when he felt otherwise.

E ⇴ EARLY YEARS

You found yourself trusting in Hyunwoo pretty much from the start of your relationship which meant that you relied on him a lot. He cared about you a lot because he found himself getting along with you so well and enjoying your company, and so he would often stay by your side when the two of you went out, even if you were with other people, because he loved to protect you and see you smiling.

F ⇴ FAMILY

Hyunwoo’s family got along with you incredibly well, it was pretty impossible for them not to like you with how much Hyunwoo talked about you to them. They were beyond happy that Hyunwoo had a best friend who made him smile as much as you did, and ever since the first time that they had all met you they could all see exactly why Hyunwoo had decided that you would be his best friend, adoring his personality.

G ⇴ GETTING TOGETHER

Most of the time when the two of you met up with one another you would try and do it pretty privately, as Hyunwoo especially didn’t want any hassle following you. He tried his best to always keep you away from any danger and so usually tried to keep your time together at the dorm where you could be comfortable.

H ⇴ HABITS

The two of you had a habit of having the same routine pretty much anytime the two of you went out together. Coffee was always a must for the two of you, and it would never be too long before Hyunwoo would complain that he was hungry too so you’d stop for food before heading back down to the dorm.

I ⇴ INSIDE JOKES

To make sure that the two of you didn’t forget your inside jokes, you kept a jar underneath your bed, filled with pieces of paper where you had written your inside jokes so that the two of you could always remind yourselves of the funny moments in your friendship by looking back through the jar together.

J ⇴ JEALOUSY

There weren’t many times when Hyunwoo would get jealous as your best friend, he liked to know more than anything that you had other people looking out for you too. Even around those friends of yours that he had known for several years though, Hyunwoo still couldn’t help himself but to be protective of you, keeping those friends at arm’s length most of the time so that he could be the one closest to you.

K ⇴ KICKS

Hyunwoo got a kick out of seeing you do well, he was your biggest supporter in everything that you did, and he loved to see you succeed. Whether it was something big, like a promotion, or something small like managing to drive to work without getting nervous, he was always rooting for you and feeling proud too.

L ⇴ LOVE

He loved that he had you as an escape from being an idol more than anything else, and how you always managed to stop Hyunwoo from thinking about work for a little while. When you could tell that the music was particularly playing on Hyunwoo’s mind then you would invite him to your place for the evening and do everything that you could to remind him to just be human for a bit and stop feeling the pressure.

M ⇴ MEETING

The two of you met in a dance class when you were younger, with Hyunwoo asking you if you wanted a bit of help when you failed to pick up a move. He made it look easy, managing to help you get it down, and sticking by your side for the rest of the class, more than happy to help again if you needed him.

N ⇴ NONSENSE

Whilst Hyunwoo had to be the leader and behave for most of the time, when he was around you, all of that was forgotten. He loved being able to relax and let go of anything whenever he spent time with you.

O ⇴ OBSESSION

Hyunwoo was obsessed with your personality and how well it complimented his personality. Everyone always passed comment on how well the two of you seemed to get along like two peas in a pod together.

P ⇴ PRECIOUS MOMENTS

The moments that meant the most to Hyunwoo were the ones when you were there to see him doing well. His heart raced whenever he knew that you were at a show or on your way to support him during filming for something, often being that spark that he needed to smile, even when he was feeling exhausted.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS

If he needed help, especially with work, then Hyunwoo would turn to you. He hated turning to the people at work because he didn’t want them to think that he couldn’t do it, whereas you would never judge him.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS

Before he enlisted into the military, Hyunwoo surprised you with a scrapbook that he had made to represent your years of friendship. Many of your favourite memories were included in it, with things like tickets and receipts stuck onto the pages too, many of which you were surprised to see that he had remembered.

S ⇴ SUPPORT

Having your support meant the world to Hyunwoo, and he never let you forget that either. Every single time you showed up to support him he always made sure to tell you how thankful he was, and most of the time often repaid you for it too by taking you out to dinner or making time to do something with you.

T ⇴ TRIPS

Every single year for your birthday Hyunwoo would take you away somewhere. If you had mentioned a spot that you liked then he would arrange for the two of you to go there when he had the time to take you.

U ⇴ ULTIMATE

He had the perfect best friend in his opinion, there was absolutely nothing about your friendship that Hyunwoo wanted to change.

V ⇴ VISITS

If he knew that you weren’t doing anything and on your own, he would always tell you to drop by at the studio and spend some time with him so that you weren’t alone, and so that Hyunwoo could check on you too.

W ⇴ WISDOM

He was the best when it came to advice, over the years Hyunwoo had picked up on plenty of wisdom to pass onto you when you needed it.

X ⇴ XXXX

Whilst the two of you weren’t massively affectionate when you were with each other, if he felt that you needed a hug then Hyunwoo would always be there to give you one or give your frame a squeeze of encouragement.

Y ⇴ YOU

You were his inspiration, he watched you in awe quite a lot of the time as your best friend.

Z ⇴ ZZZ

When you stayed at the dorm quite late, Hyunwoo refused to let you go home. He would give his bed up in a heartbeat for you and sleep on the sofa so that he knew that you were safe and not out in the cold.

royal purple;

cat-like eyes flicker across the studio recording area.

it’s dim,

empty.

confusion envelopes the lone man;

he’d been expecting someone.

his lips part softly as cold hands wrap around his arms from behind.

orchid-like hair drapes over his widened eyes.

the scent of sandalwood and cedar reaches his nose,

fuses with the scent of red roses;

it’s silent, tempting.

he turns around, desire passing over the other’s face.

palpable, waiting.

lips meet, tongues dance.

cold hands intertwine with warm ones.

passion invigorates the two;

they pull away, hearts racing

a warm glow envelopes the dim room, a shade of amber.

Hell Week (MONSTA X: Shownu)

i kept forgetting to post this, but i finished it sometime last week. wasn't gonna post it this week either, given the absolute horrid state of the philippines currently because of the elections. i'm sure it's on the news wherever you are. disclaimer just in case you're wondering: i did not vote for the son of the former dictator, ok. i am in need of a distraction from the hellfire that is my country for a minute.

ANYWAY, i'm missing shownu a little more today and figured i should just post this, also to mark it green on my Vampire!AU Collection list. i'm also missing college a little, so here we aaaaare.

PAIRING: Shownu (Son Hyunwoo) x gn!reader. GENRE: fic, general, comedy (or at least, an attempt). WARNINGS: vampire!au—contains mentions of blood & genre-typical injuries; mild profanity. WORD COUNT: 2,200.

---

You drop your bag on the empty seat next to you, sucking in a big breath before stretching your arms up and out. Your joints crack and pop, stiff from staying in one position for too long. Before you made your way to the campus’s study hall, you’d been at the dorms, hunched over your laptop as you furiously typed up an essay final due in two hours. Thankfully, you managed to email it to your professor before the deadline, and finally breathed a tired sigh.

One final down, several more to go.

You lean back against the seat, letting your head dangle over the back of it and take a few seconds to clear your mind so you can focus on the next item on the seemingly never-ending list of final outputs and exams.

After your brief meditation session, you begin setting up your laptop and notebooks, spreading it over your side of the table. You plug in your six-year-old laptop in a nearby outlet and turn it on, before digging through your bag for your wallet, intending to grab a sandwich at the stall in the middle of the hall as a snack—the rumbling of your stomach has only gotten louder the longer you delayed your meal.

As you turn, wallet in hand, you spot your groupmate ambling towards your table. He raises a hand in greeting, and hooks both thumbs in the straps of his backpack as he walks.

You’ve been in the same group as Son Hyunwoo since the beginning of the semester. Surprisingly, no matter how many group changes and blind draws happened in the class of 30 students, you two always got stuck together. You don’t mind—Hyunwoo may be quiet, but he is a hard worker and very detail-oriented. Many of your reports have been saved by him noticing something you’d overlooked and quickly revising it.

Plus, he’s not bad to look at, either.

“Hey,” Hyunwoo says as he walks past to the other side of the table. He brings out a sleek laptop and places it opposite yours. Next to come out of the backpack are his notebooks and a couple of thick reference books.

“Hi,” you reply. “I’ll just grab a snack real quick.”

He nods an affirmative, quiet as always, and takes a seat.

You try to sneak a glance at him as you walk to the stall, but there really isn’t much to see—Hyunwoo is fully concentrated on his laptop, full lips pursed in thought as he reads and types.

While you wait for the lady behind the counter to finish preparing your sandwich, you make the decision to make an effort to get to know your groupmate a little more. You know the basics: Hyunwoo is 27 years old, he’s a graduate student, and he’s taking this slash course because it’s the only class that fits into his schedule. But apart from that, you don’t really know anything about him, despite being groupmates for five months. It might be futile to try to make an effort now when the semester is ending (and in the middle of Hell Week, too), but… it’s worth a shot, right?

Hyunwoo is already typing away when you finally return to the table, the sandwich in one hand and a bottle of extra strong coffee you picked up at the adjacent vending machine in the other.

As you settle in your seat, Hyunwoo peeks from behind his laptop and says, “What’d you get?”

Mildly surprised, you answer, “Oh uh… I think this is the chicken pesto sub? I don’t eat at this stall much, so I’m not really sure how it tastes.”

But he just nods, lips puckering as he looks at the wrapped food. “It’s good. The chicken is soft and they put a lot of garlic in the pesto.”

“Ooh, that’s great then; I like my pesto strong,” you say as you crack open the coffee and take a swig. The taste of sweet caffeine and milk flow through your tongue, and you cringe a bit before smacking your lips. “Mm, that’s sweet.”

Hyunwoo smiles as he goes back to typing on your shared document. “Do you not like sweet coffee?”

“Meh,” you say, taking another drink. “I can drink sweet coffee, but the stronger the better, I say.” Hyunwoo chuckles—it’s nice and deep, sends goosebumps up your arm.

You set the bottle aside and unwrap part of the sandwich. There is no rush—it’s only 7PM and the deadline is at 11:59. With the two of you working on the unfinished parts of the output, you should be done with it by then. For now, you eat your long-overdue lunch and relax.

Your groupmate doesn’t mind working alone while you eat; you’d asked him an hour before if it’s okay that you eat something before thrusting yourself into work, and he just replied with a sure, and nothing else. So he taps away on the notebook that looks way too small for his huge hands, occasionally asking you questions about what the outcomes of the test studies of the products are, survey response statistics, and food.

“There’s this Pakistani restaurant nearby I’ve been wanting to try,” you say, taking another bite of the sandwich. You chew for a few seconds and say, “I can never find the time to go, or someone to go with though. One of my friends has eaten there and she said they serve huge portions.”

“This is the one near the mall across the street, right?” Hyunwoo asks as he rummages in his bag for water. “I’ve been there with my roommates. Food’s really good.” He finally brings out a big blue Hydro Flask and unscrews the cap, taking a swig. “We can swing around after finishing this, if you want. I think they’re open until midnight.”

The offer startles you and you almost choke on the last bite of the sandwich. You cough and clear your throat, thumping your chest and reaching for your coffee.

"Sorry," Hyunwoo says after you've calmed down, thick brows furrowed over worried eyes. "You can just pretend I didn't say anything."

You shake your head wildly. "No, no! It's totally fine," you say. "I was actually trying to figure out an excuse to get to know you better…"

Hyunwoo hums. "The secret is food," he says quietly, taking out another tumbler from his bag, this one clear and filled with a red juice. "Whenever my roommates want me to do something, they always bribe me with food."

You laugh, balling up the paper wrapper of the sandwich and setting it aside. "Got it," you say, and chug the rest of the coffee. "Let's finish this so we can eat at that Pakistani place before it closes, shall we?"

With a nod from the man across from you, the next three-and-a-half hours are filled with furious typing, occasional questions to each other, and a few bathroom breaks.

Finally, after reading through the mock business model report one last time and catching any missed typos, you save the document and email it to your professor.

"And done!" you exclaim, shooting your arms up in freedom, and groan as you stretch your stiff limbs. "God, two down and five more things to go! I don't know how I'm gonna survive the next two weeks."

"You'll be fine," Hyunwoo says as he closes his laptop and breathes out a sigh. He takes a sip from the clear tumbler with the juice. The thick liquid sloshes around in the bottle like those pureed fruit concentrates. "Seeing as you just finished two requirements in one day, you're doing well already."

You snort a laugh. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Hyunwoo, but I crammed the essay I was finishing earlier, and the reason I didn't lose my mind with this report was because you did most of the work." You begin packing your things, getting up only to unplug the laptop charger, and then plopping back down on your seat.

Hyunwoo waves a hand, dismissing the compliment. "Not a big deal. I'm just trying to pull my weight. Besides, you guys made and tested all the prototypes. All I can do is interpret the data." He unscrews the lid off the tumbler and downs the rest of the juice in one gulp. He smacks his lips and shudders, looking more energized.

You nod at the cup, noting the residue stuck to the inside. "What drink is that? Is it like a protein shake or something?"

Shownu visibly stiffens, eyes slowly moving to the cup still in his hand. “It’s. Yeah, a protein shake. I think it’s cherry?”

“Oohh, can I take a whiff of it? I’ve been looking for powders that don’t smell like grass or medicine.”

“I was wrong, it’s strawberry,” he deflects.

“I like strawberry, too.”

“No, I think it’s apple, actually.” Hyunwoo is clutching the tumbler so tightly that it looks like it’s about to crack and break. His face is blank, but the nervousness is easy to see. You debate on a reply for a second before following your caffeine-addled brain.

“You know you’re a terrible liar, right?”

Hyunwoo switches expressions from surprise, offense, and finally dejection in a span of two seconds. “My roommates tell me that a lot,” he says softly, screwing the lid back onto the tumbler and stuffing it in his bag; you think you see hairline fractures in the plastic. "And it's not a protein shake. Actually, I don't think you want to know what it is, it's pretty gross."

You snort. "Try me. There's less things that gross me out than some suspicious liquid that looks like a kid went ham with slime and food color."

Hyunwoo purses his lips again, seemingly debating what to tell you. Finally, he shakes his head. "My roommates will not be happy with this at all."

"Hey, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, Hyunwoo," you backtrack quickly. "I'm really curious about it, but if you feel uncomfortable, I can just let it go."

"No, it's all right," he says quickly. "It's hard keeping it a secret, and seeing as I want to have a better relationship with you, it would have come up soon anyway."

You blink once. Twice. "Were you always this blunt?"

A corner of his lips quirks up. "You bring it out of me I guess." He digs into his backpack again and pulls out the clear tumbler, unscrews the lid and holds the cup out to you.

Wordlessly, you take it in both hands, bringing it up to your nose and carefully sniffing the residue. Immediately, a tangy, metallic scent wafts up your nose and you cringe back. "Is this… blood?"

You look at Hyunwoo, but he avoids your gaze. "It's… yeah. It's blood." He holds out his hand for the tumbler and you return it. "I can understand if you find it weird and don't want to see me after this—,"

"I mean," you interrupt, continuing to pack your stuff away. "It's weird, but there are some cultures that eat like, dishes made out of blood, right? So it's not that odd." You roll up your charger cable as you talk. "Do you have anemia?"

Through your short speech, Hyunwoo had been following your movements with his brows furrowed. Now, he's struggling to find words. "I—...? Anemia?"

"Yeah, are you iron-deficient? Like you need iron supplements and need to eat liver and blood?"

"Iron—wait, what? No, I'm not anemic." He takes a deep breath. "I'm a vampire."

You stop all movement, staying still for a second. And then your head whips towards him. "No shit?" you say, excited "Like really? You're not playing with me?"

"Uh, no? I'm being dead serious." He shakes his head and holds a hand up. "Wait, hold on, though—you're not freaked out?"

You just shrug. "I read a lot of vampire fiction when I was a teen. Still do sometimes. I kinda always thought vampires are real, like mermaids. Sounds childish of me, but you can't really know if something doesn't exist unless you find definitive proof, right?"

Hyunwoo just blinks at you. "You're… You're not afraid?"

You laugh. "No, why would I be? Being a vampire sounds cool—I mean, obviously not everything about it is nice, but the concept is cool, at least." You stand and hike a strap of your bag over your shoulder; Hyunwoo does the same and you start walking to the stairs.

Your friend hums. "I guess it is pretty cool. If you don't count the violent thirst every couple weeks. And the not aging bit—although that has its perks, too." He watches you toss your trash in the designated bins, and keeps in step with you down the stairs.

"Exactly! You see—totally cool, right?" you say. You toss the other strap of your bag over your shoulder. "Since you told me this, you don't mind me asking you questions about your thing, right?"

He shakes his head. "Can't promise I can answer them all, but sure."

"Great! Be prepared for a hounding at the restaurant, Hyunwoo."

Hyunwoo smiles down at you, eyes crinkling up in amusement. "Bring it on."
