#wonshik as your boyfriend

[hana-no-seiiki]

PARASITIC [YANDERE! PLATONIC FAMILY x SCAMMER! READER x YANDERE! RICH FAMILY]

BLURB / SNEAKPEEK - BASED OFF OF THE MOVIE PARASITE.

Your eyes burned through the back of his skull. He could feel the intensity of it all. The determination, the passion, the anger. But when one wore rose colored glasses, every flag looked red.

Your family never had much to begin with. Your mother got pregnant at an early age with your older brother and sister, and here he was your so called “boyfriend” living happily with the money his parents so carelessly provided.

“I know you’re in love with me, but please you’re making the butterflies in my stomach flutter all over with that stare of yours.” He turned around and leaned towards you. A kiss to your neck, then your jaw and lastly your lips. He was never just satisfied with a simple hug or kiss, Wonshik was an insatiable man. He took and he took without an ounce of consideration of what you thought.

It was how he was raised after all,

like a pig.

“Fuck, I need you.” You shoved him away for a momentary sense of relief. Every second you breathed his scent in disgusted you, much more when he dared holding your form.

He looked up at you, wonder in his eyes. He was in love, he truly was. What was once a strong young man, filled with charisma and power turned to putty when with you.

It was a shame really,

that you despised him and everything he stood for.

Summary: She was surprised by how fast her life went from the perfect fairytale to the destructive mess it had turned into. Dealing with a cheater ex boyfriend, having to move out to a different place because the house she lived in belonged to that man she once dreamed of spending the rest of her life with, while continuously being underappreciated at work... It was as if life was telling her to stop dreaming big, to go back to her small town, Bibury, and help her parents run the small farm her family had owned for decades.

At least until she received a call from her friend.

A sudden vacancy as an assistant showed up on one of her friend's system, having her being encouraged to take that big step and apply for it. She had no hopes for it. Mainly because she didn't have any experience on the field, and she didn't comply with most of the requirements that were added on the offer -and which most of them sounded ridiculous and exaggerated for the position, making her wonder who was the freak who needed so many guidelines in order to hire someone to pick up the phone and schedule events. 

Although that hotel she'd be working on was much more than anything she could've come up with. 

Choi San wasn't someone easy to deal with. After his previous assistant presented his resignation letter on his desk, he felt forced to start the whole selection process again -after merely two months. 

Sure that he was being way too strict, enough to find that anyone who applied for the position wasn't enough, he asked one of his friends to be in charge of the interviews and the selection of the most adequate candidate. 

Little did he know Wooyoung would hire the imperfectly perfect candidate for him, sure that she'd help him in many ways other than just in dealing with the responsibilities of his position. 

A new challenge will come their way as soon as she steps inside the hotel. 

Y/n will have to learn how to mold onto him and deal with all his small habits and requirements, and San will find himself trying to open up and let out all those same things that turned him into the person he was. 

The more she digs in Kalla and all of its secrets and exciting corners, the deeper she'll dive into San's heart and soul... Although, maybe, she won't be able to take it. 

Kalla opens its doors to you, sharing the vast amount of filthy and erotic plans it offers, and that you can join with a partner... Or maybe just by yourself. 

Hope you enjoy your stay.

Chapter duration: 16 minutes

The emergency meeting that was held because of Y/n was only for one thing: decide whether he should kick her out or not. His head tilted to the side while his chin rested against the comfortable place his index fingers had become for it. He probably wouldn't have cared about her being fired, he certainly didn't care because she was a burden in a lot of cases because of the language barrier, but it pissed him off. It was during those times that he realized the little control he had over his own business, because wealthier people were the ones in charge to decide his fate.

It wasn't as bad when it all started, because he managed to make enough money by himself to be the head of Kalla. But it became worse after the scandal that turned it all upside down. In the middle of the stocks falling down into a catastrophe, both Wonshik and Misuk bought even more to keep them as stable as possible, and assure the rest of stockholders that there would be no problem for them to keep the stocks. If someone as important as Park Wonshik was willing to keep his money in the hotel, it was going to be a safe bet for the rest of the people investing money on it.

San was thankful about it back then, but after Kalla recovered from the scandal, he lost more and more power. He didn't feel like the owner of that place anymore. Something that started like a dream, slowly became something he didn't even like anymore.

Three knocks on his door interrupted his trip back in time, making him blink and look towards the door with a serious face.

—Come in —he demanded with a heavy voice, focusing back on the email he had received from Misuk.

She had always been on his side, being the first stockholder in Kalla and the one that influenced others' decisions when it came about the hotel and San. Just like she had enough to say about Y/n being fired or not, convincing Wonshik that she was a good fit for the job and that it was only because she was still trying to get used to the position and their habits. All of her interventions were excuses to back up Y/n's action and lack of comprehension, insisting that it was better to have someone completely disconnected from the hotel and its problems rather than hire someone that knew about how deep in trouble it once was.

Y/n pressed her lips together, closing the door behind her as she advanced until the middle of his office.

It wasn't as wide as it seemed from outside, certainly the white color of its walls made it seem bigger, and also the way the shelves didn't take up the whole wall, but only the upper part of them. And as much as she tried to fight her eyes from wandering around, the fact that San wasn't even looking at her forced her to look away not to feel the pressure that was building up.

Her eyes stopped on him, feeling the shame knocking in his brain when the idea of being fired hit the back of her head. She dropped her gaze to her shoes, knowing it was better to just hear the words than having to confront his glance as well. It could be she was avoiding it because she didn't want to see the relief in them, after he finally managed to get something he was looking for, and to which he only needed a small excuse to make it come true.

She was so scared, but at the same time... He looked so attractive when he was mad. She couldn't understand how her brain was able to process such a thing at that moment.

—Send an apology to all of the investors on the list I've sent to you by mail —San demanded—. Write it in Korean, with perfect grammar and a proper vocabulary. Actually, before you send it, send it to me so I can correct it —he continued.

She was still confused, because that wasn't something she was expecting. Did she have to send an apology after they fired her?

—Does that mean...?

—That you continue with your responsibilities and obligations —he cut her off—. Which means don't ever repeat what you have done, always follow my lead and orders. There won't be a next time.

Y/n's brain was in the middle of processing his words and what they meant, getting rid of the idea of having to go back home and look for a new job.

—And get serious with the language —San reminded her—. They will be even more strict about it than before.

—I'll do my best. I promise.

—We'll see that. And also —he finally looked at her—, it wasn't me the reason why you'll stay here. If it had been my choice, I'd have kicked you out.

Her smile slowly dropped, although she was able to stop it from completely disappearing by smiling again. San could've kept that information to himself, but he still chose to let her know for whatever reason it was.

—I'll still do my best —she assured him, with a less excited tone.

San looked at her, thinking that maybe he was being way too harsh with someone that wasn't to blame for the mistakes that made him be so strict about everything. He was so close to losing everything that he couldn't tolerate something that could be avoided. And Y/n's action could've been avoided if only she had been more professional.

Among the silence, he finally lifted his hand and pointed to the door to guide her to do all of the tasks that were pending. She needed to do a lot of things, and it was better if she left it all done before her shift ended that day.

—Oh, right —she nodded, walking backwards while her hand on her back looked for the doorknob.

After being around her for three days, San still couldn't understand what Wooyoung saw in her to give her such a position.

She huffed, half an hour into typing all of those apologies using the translator, to confirm that what she was writing down made enough sense to appeal to all of the people that would be sent to. Her head dropped to the front, assuring herself that she was closer to the end when she was getting closer to half of the apology she needed to send San first.

She looked behind her, finding his door still closed, and turned to confirm that he was past the time he left the other days. She could only wonder if he was waiting for her to leave first after what happened that day, or if he was waiting to review her apology to give her the green light.

Y/n wasn't that far-fetched.

San sat in his office, looking at his door, thinking that he'd be able to look through it and see Y/n working on her letter. He could imagine how hard it could be for her since she didn't control the language. He had gone through that same thing years back when he was living in London, and he wanted to be there in case she needed any type of help. Although he doubted she'd ask for his help after everything that happened that day.

The main door opened abruptly, making Y/n jump on her seat as she stared at the young woman that had been in charge of the reception the time she had been working there. Her frown was creased, with her lips slightly parted as she tried to breathe faster while looking around the office with a scared expression.

The words that came from her sounded like an incomprehensible sound that Y/n couldn't understand as much as she tried, she could only understand the name of her boss and add some urgency by the way the tone of her voice broke mid sentence.

Mumbling, Y/n asked her for a quick second, getting up from her seat and knocking on his door before she stepped inside his office.

—Didn't I tell you to send it via mail when you were done? —San repeated, slowly moving his eyes towards her— What's happening?

—One of the receptionists... I don't know.

His body was impulsed by the strength of his hands on the desk, getting up from his black chair to walk past her and find Areum close to having a panic attack.

—There's a problem —she tried to explain as soon as she saw him, not even needing him to ask her to inform him—. One of the clients came to reception. At first we thought she was just going to complain about something related to the service. But she later came... I still can't understand how it happened —she scratched her nape, trying to get some air back into her lungs to keep talking—. Her bracelet disappeared, and she thinks one of the boys stole it from the room she shares with her husband.

—I'm sure it's nothing we can't work on —San tried to calm her down.

—We found the necklace in Do Yoon's jacket.

Despite not completely understanding what they were saying, because they were speaking way too fast for her to grasp a single word, she could see the way color left San's usual tanned skin as his face went more serious.

The curiosity was tickling her brain, and the question was burning her tongue, spilling out before she was aware.

—Is everything alright? —she dared to interrupt.

San's eyes fell on her immediately after, showing her a new look she hadn't seen before on him. He seemed lost, worried. The situation was out of his control, and it was all over his facial expression. He only looked at her for a few seconds, before he looked back at Areum.

—I want the recordings of the camera placed on the floor where their room is —San demanded—. Tell the customers that I'm already working on it, and that I'll be back at them as soon as possible.

—Do you want to see Do Yoon?

—No. I want to see the recordings first.

He needed to fact check that he actually went inside the room, before jumping to any conclusions through accusations that could be wrong.

Areum left with a little and short bow, leaving San's office and closing the door behind her. Y/n's eyes were still on her boss, who was already thinking of all the different scenarios.

—You can leave —he let her know.

—I'm not done with my work —she mumbled, lazily pointing at her computer.

—Leave it for tomorrow. There's something urgent going on right now.

—Shouldn't I be here though? That's my job.

—I thought I was clear when I told you to follow my orders.

—I'm just doing what I'll be paid for —Y/n answered back.

San, being more worried about the big problem in front of him, allowed Y/n to do what she insisted so much on doing: helping him, despite being sure she'll probably have another burden on the way -or, at best, someone just looking at the disaster with no power to stop it.

—I'll send you the recording of the security camera —he let her know—. I want you to cut it on the time frame I'll tell you —he informer her, in case he did indeed find something suspicious—. We'll have to use it in case one of my employees did in fact steal something.

And as much as he hoped not having to do that, the email showed up on her feed thirty minutes later, with an exact time frame with a lapse of ten minutes.

It didn't make sense to her. That boy was supposedly going to clean the room, but he entered and left in a span of ten minutes, and got inside the room with no tools, nothing that he could use to do his job. His back also faced the camera all the time, as if there weren't only two other male cleaners in the hotel.

Something didn't feel right.

—Did you already send it? —San interrupted from behind.

—Are you sure about this? —Y/n dared to insist.

—What are you trying to say? That the bracelet magically appeared in his jacket?

—I just don't think this is enough.

—Look, someone stole in my hotel. Someone that's working for me. He was asked to clean that room today, and now this happens. —San cleared up—. He's an extended representation of Kalla's brand. I can't have any sympathy for someone who dares to mess it all up for a lame necklace.

—But...

—Didn't you say you'd stay here to work? Do your job and let it all be —he interrupted—. When Do Yoon comes here, let him walk straight to my office. That's the only thing I want you to do after you've sent the cut out.

She simply nodded, allowing some relief to finally kick in in San's system before he walked back inside his office.

It just didn't make any sense for her. He worked in the hotel, he could've been more discreet if he had wanted to. He could've used the time he was given to clean the room to cover himself somehow, but he went there a second time with nothing that could work as an excuse. Either he was too dumb, or someone else was the one behind that robbery.

While she was deep in her thoughts, a younger tall boy knocked on the open door with a sad expression and his head crouched down, aware of what was coming his way without him being able to avoid it.

She tried to give him a sympathetic look, although she knew it'd be of no use as the boy walked past her table to direct himself to the end of it all. He stopped a bit ahead of the corner of her desk when he noticed San talking on the phone, waiting for him to finish so as not to make things worse.

Her eyes slowly dropped to his right hand, noticing a big palm on the reverse, and which also caught Do Yoon's attention.

—It's burn, yeah —he mumbled, trying to cover it with his other hand.

At first, she only thought of how much it must've hurted. If it left that mark, it certainly wasn't a small burn you suffer while you're cooking. It covered most of the reverse of his hand.

As she checked again, the supposed thief didn't seem to have any mark on the right hand he used to pass the card and open the door. There was nothing, which directly meant it possibly wasn't that scared boy.

She didn't care about San's reaction, she didn't care about the consequences of her interrupting the meeting after her boss had ordered Do Yoon to close the door behind him to have some privacy.

—It wasn't him —she announced as she broke into his office.

—What are you saying? —he mumbled, visibly annoyed.

That girl certainly knew how to be timely, interrupting him right when he was informing Do Yoon of the process of his dismissal and how he was expected to apologize for what happened.

—It wasn't him —she repeated—. The mark on his hand, it's not there.

San still looked at her as if he didn't know what she was talking about.

—Your burn —Y/n pointed at her own hand, while looking at Do Yoon—. You're innocent —she turned to San again—. The man in the recordings doesn't have the burn. I also checked the recordings from early in the morning, and his mark was there when he went to clean.

—So you're saying someone is playing me? —San asked.

He was so afraid of being caught in another scandal that he didn't even worry about doubting what was happening. If he had learnt something, it was to just deal with things in a way that wouldn't create a big fuss.

—Do Yoon, you can go —he let him know.

—But what happens with me?

—I'll work on it —he let him know—. Meanwhile, come back tomorrow as if nothing had happened.

The young boy didn't insist. He needed that job, and whatever meant to keep it, he'd follow it.

San waited patiently for Do Yoon to leave his office, leaving him alone with his secretary again -who was looking at him with attention, waiting for a new order that she knew was about to come after that new information.

—We'll check the recordings from all the cameras in the span of the thirty minutes prior to that incident.

—Okay —she nodded.

At first, it was a lot of nothing. For the first two hours, they looked into nothing more than people walking down the different aisles, with the weirdest thing being some people making out for a few minutes in a corner. Until San finally came through the last piece of evidence he needed to confront the whole issue with confidence, radiating happiness with a wide smile that showed all of his front teeth and made his eyes squint shut.

In the video, it was shown how the husband of the customer got inside of one of the closets with something in his hand, and left completely clothed in a uniform that was similar to the one his employees wore. Checking thirty minutes later into that same camera, San could spot that same man throwing those clothes into a bin and walking away.

He cleared his throat when he noticed Y/n's surprised eyes on him, not expecting to ever see such a reaction from her boss.

—I already found the video —he informed her.

—That's great —she celebrated—. What's the next step?

—Kicking those leeches out.

San walked away before she could say a word, leaving her with another thought. Instead of talking, she opted to act, looking deeper into the cameras before she could completely close everything that happened.

Someone who was willing to taint his image again couldn't get away with it easily, he couldn't tolerate them spending another night behind his doors after what they had tried to do. He didn't care how much they complained about the time he sent someone to knock on their door to solve things out, he didn't care about how he interrupted their dinner after they had called the room service.

He needed them out.

—I hope you called us because you already found the thief —the woman ranted.

—I did —he nodded—, and he's next to you —he pointed to the older man who had a similar complexion as Do Yoon's.

—Excuse me? —the woman asked, offended— Are you accusing us of lying? I won't tolerate this.

—Areum, show our dear customers the video I sent you —San demanded, inviting the couple to stand behind the counter to see the monitors properly.

As it was obvious, both of them denied it was them behind the robbery. But what took him by surprise was how they asked him for proof that they sneaked the necklace inside Do Yoon's jacket, leaving him with no possible response -because he didn't go as far as to think that.

He was so eager to solve it all as soon as possible, that he didn't think any further when he should have.

—No matter what you do now, I'll make sure Kalla is tarnished forever. How dare you accuse us of doing something like th...

Her words were lost in the tip of her tongue as Areum replayed a video Y/n had sent her last minute, where they could clearly see the moment the man sneaked the necklace inside Do Yoon's pocket, while the jacket was hanging on the backrest of the couch in the reception, minutes before they rushed to accuse him of robbery.

San saw the victorious smile on Areum's face, and despite not seeing what they were seeing, he was sure it solved all of his problems.

The couple looked at each other nervously, with the woman gulping thick before being able to speak again with a more submissive tone.

—We'll leave right now. It all was a misunderstanding.

As much as he would have loved to call the police, he knew it'd only make things bigger than they were. There was no point in taking it to that extreme, but he'd for sure save all the clips in case he'd need them in the future. He was sure those people were probably not going to leave it all there.

With a problem less, he felt himself in debt with Y/n after what she did. If it hadn't been for her, he probably would've fired someone innocent and would've compensated some people that just wanted to take advantage of their position as customers, which also made him wonder if they went through all of that only because they wanted a free stay with all expenses included. As he walked back to his office to thank Y/n for her work that day, he found she was gone. Her desk was tidied up, her computer was turned off... she was most likely gone.

It could be he had been judging her wrong because he wasn't the one who chose her, it could be his friend didn't have as bad a judgment as he thought. Anyone else would've just sat back and followed his guidance, but she went one step ahead and worked to find a solution to help him and his hotel.

Sighing, he picked the few things he had on his desk, eyeing his office one last time before he stepped outside and walked down the corridor.

Maybe she was in her room.

Before he could knock on her door, he heard her voice on the other side.

—You have no idea! —Y/n exclaimed— I can't stand him. It doesn't matter what I do, he always sees something wrong in everything —she huffed—. And that's not the worst. I kinda like when he's annoyed. He's already distracting, but him being mad multiplies his attractive per hundred —she assured—. I think I might be going insane.

Birthday Girl

Pairing: F!Reader x Kim Wonshik (Ravi from Vixx)

WC: 0.6k

Rating: M

Genre: Fluff + Smut

@sadfragilegirl requested a Ravi x Reader oneshot. I hope you like it! This was difficult to write and thus it is shorter than I wanted, since I am new to VIXX and this was my first attempt at writing 'x Reader'. I hope I did okay:) Enjoy! <3

You opened your eyes to the welcome sight of your boyfriend bringing you breakfast in bed.

“Good morning, Jagiya!”

Twisting in the sheets, you greeted him with a smile. “Good morning!”

“Happy birthday,” your boyfriend placed a sweet kiss on your forehead as he fluffed up your pillows.

He lay beside you while you ate, telling you about his plans for your special day. He had the whole day off and was focused on making it memorable for you.

Once you were dressed and ready for the day, the two of you headed out of your apartment to begin your adventure.

You began with a visit to your favourite coffee shop, your boyfriend ordering his usual iced coffee and you went for your favourite iced mocha.

Coffees in hand, you linked your fingers together with your boyfriend and swung them happily as you walked down the street together.

Window shopping was something you liked to do as you strolled the avenues in your city’s downtown area, and anything you did was automatically better when your loved ones joined you.

“Ravi-ah, look at that!” You pointed to a pretty dress in the window of one of your favourite shops.

The morning was spent window shopping and just enjoying one another’s company. The sun was warm but not hot, you were with the love of your life, and you had iced coffee. It was shaping up  to be a perfect day. 

~~~~~

As soon as you returned from your picnic dinner, Ravi kissed you passionately, backing you up until your back met the wall.

You moaned into his mouth, wrapping your arms around his shoulders and running your fingers through his hair.

He hooked his hands under your thighs and carried you to your bedroom, kissing your neck until you shivered with pleasure.

You pulled his shirt over his head, tracing your fingers over his tattoos until he returned the favour and pulled your shirt over your head. He groaned appreciatively at the sight of your lacey new bra and ran his tongue over your nipples through the fabric, perking them up.

“Wonshik, I need more,” you groaned, unbuttoning both pairs of pants. 

He pulled your pants and underwear off with a wink, kissing his way up your thighs to your centre.

Little sparks of pleasure spread though your body as he applied his talented rapping tongue to your clit, dexterously working you up to orgasm. The sight of him between your legs, skin glowing in the soft light of your room, his tattoos rippling over his skin as he moved sent you over the edge, crying out his name.

“I love you,” he pecked your forehead.

“I love you too, Wonshik.” You wrapped your legs around his waist as he pushed in, enjoying the feel of being so intimate with your lover.

You licked your way down his neck and jaw, his familiar scent filling your senses as he began a slow, sensual rhythm. 

“You’re so beautiful.” he told you.

“So are you,” you returned, smiling up at him. “I love you.”

“I love you, Y/N.” He brushed a strand of hair from your face, speeding up his thrusts a little as you commanded.

His hand came up to circle your nipples as he licked and nipped a line down your neck, biting softly at your ear.

The tightening in your core continued. “Ravi, I’m close.”

His finger trailed down your torso to rub at your clit, knowing just how to help you climax.

“Wonshik!” Your orgasm triggered his and you lay there, panting and happy. 

“Happy birthday, Y/N-ah,” he kissed you softly, wrapping you in his big arms, safe and loved.

VIXX Reaction - You Injure Yourself

N

When he arrived home, he was beyond tired due to his extreme dance practice, Hakyeon was ready to lay back with you and just relax. He didn't expect to find you with a cast on your leg. He went from 0 to 100 real quick. He demanded an explanation as he was really worried.

Then you explained that you fell off some stairs and broke your leg.

He then goes to help you with everything. Becoming your personal servant.

"My Jagi is injured because of her own clumsiness, but I'll take care of her like the perfect boyfriend I am."

Leo

He was there when you fell and hurt your wrist, he was the one to get you to the hospital and then drove you home. Taekwoon was there the entire time and he was so scared when he saw you make that face, he thought he would die.

"Next time please watch where you are going, My Jagiya."

Ken

Super shocked. He just stares at you as the doctor explained to him what happened. You fell at work and twisted your ankle and since he's your emergency contact, the hospital called him so you can get home.

"I was so scared when I got the call, Y/N! Don't do that again please!"

Ravi

Wonshik was in his studio, just starting a new track when he saw you calling him. When you told him what happened and that you fell, hurt your elbow and was now in the hospital, he waited to hear if you were pranking him or not.

But when you didn't laugh or anything, he got his jacket and ran. He got to the hospital, finding you in a room with a cast on your arm, his heart broke.

"Jagi..." he wanted to cry but he didn't, he just hugged you.

Hongbin

Hongbin came to pick you up after work, but when you were late, he headed into the office, asking the receptionist if they knew something. He waited another ten minutes before calling you. A woman picked up, telling him that you fell and hit your head pretty hard, just as you were about to leave.

He rushed up to you and got you home. He promised at any sign he would drive you to the hospital and he became your personal nurse.

"Jagi? Do you want more tea? Should I bring you something? Chicken? Let me know!"

Hyuk

Sanghyuk was with you when you fell. He laughed as he thought you did it on purpose, but when tears got into your eyes, his smile fell and he immediately jumped into action.

In the hospital, you were told that you twisted your knee and you'll need to have surgery. Hyuk was there with you the entire time but when everyone left he couldn't help but laugh.

"My Jagi is so clumsy! I love youuu!"

Y/N mainly looker after them as they weren’t able to find much work in their old age. Some of the most precious people in Y/N’s life. Grandfather (Stepfathers side) - Kim Wonshik (30/06/1955) - CEO of Hanam Hospital (I made it up)  He thinks of his son’s stepchildren as his own grandchildren. He loves them very much. Whenever his grandchildren are free, he likes playing golf with them. Y/N at first was nervous that he wouldn’t accept her and her siblings as they were not fully Korean and poor. But she was surprised how much he loved and accepted them so easily. Mother - Kim Almira (21/03/1974) - Head chef at one of the branches of Almira’s in Seoul. She has not been able to be a part of her Children’s lives as she would have liked because when she was not working at the restaurant she was working somewhere else or sleeping. She often feels guilty at how much of her childhood Y/N has missed out. It also makes her feel grateful for having such amazing children. She often blames herself for Y/n being so emotionally closed off but it’s as if her daughter knows when she’s feeling like this and will take her mother shopping in Milan and Paris. A life that she didn’t even think was possible. Or even just spend the day helping her cook. And she thanks the stars for giving her 7 amazing children. Stepfather - Kim Haeil (24/07/1973) - Cardiothoracic Surgeon who met Almira at the restaurant. He quickly became mesmerised with the foreign beauty with the light hazel eyes. He often found himself stopping by Almira’s more and more often. Having little dates in the gardens halfway between the hospital and the restaurant. They fell in love quickly; He grew to love her kids that he saw when he went to the restaurant to visit Almira. He became protective over them especially Y/N who’s eyes looked far too old to belong to a teenager, seeing how much their family struggled he wanted to marry Almira a few months after they started dating and help them, he cared for them greatly. Y/N told her Mother that she didn’t want him to pay off their debt out of pity. They were working so hard what was the point if someone did it for them. She didn’t need someone to take care of them. In reality she was worried he would be like Insu. Y/N had no problem with Haeil, you hadn’t seen your mother so happy for years and you didn’t object to their relationship, however you didn’t need someone’s charity, which back then due to your pride was what you thought of it as. You also reminded your Mother that she had only known this man for a few months and asked her to get to know him better before considering marriage. Your mother although saddened by your inability to take the easy way accepted your decision. They waited until you had paid off all of your family’s debt before he had taken her back to their special garden and proposed to her there. It’s easier to call Haeil Dad than Insu. You love him very much at first it was weird having a father figure that actually cared and you never really got used to having a protective father who loved you so much. Biological Father - Kim Insu (13/03/1971) - Unemployed. Abusive to Y/N and Almira. When he would try to hurt her little brother’s Y/N would never let him. He never hurt her older brother as he claimed that his son never did anything wrong. Elijah probably hated him the most because of this, if he tried to protect his sister his father would just hurt her more. He felt powerless as he was not able to protect his younger siblings. As Almira was at work most of the time Y/N got the worst of his treatment. The only thing he cares about is money, women, alcohol and gambling. In England around Y/N had just turned 11 he got a divorce and left them, much to everyone’s relief. However, after you had started making a lot of money after debut and when the restaurant started doing well, he showed up in your life again. Your grandmother was so happy. He threatened to tell his parents the truth about what he did unless you paid him. The thought of your grandparents knowing what kind of a monster their son was sickened you so you struck a deal, he stays away from the rest of you family and spends two hours a week with your grandparents in order to get paid ₩250,000,000 every week. He accepted and now your grandparents are happy to be in their son’s life with you protecting them from the real him the best you can.   Stepbrother - Kim Jaejoon (23/07/1991) - General Surgeon. He met Y/N at the hospital when he went to visit his father and Y/N was dropping off food for her future stepfather that her mother had sent. He had recognised her from how his father’s at the time girlfriend had described her. Her blue eyes standing out in the sea of ordinary brown. He introduced himself to her and told her he was her mother’s boyfriend’s son (cringing inwardly at how awkwardly he said that). Y/N had just smirked in amusement at his awkward state trying to hold back her laugh and introduced herself. The more he talked to you the more he realised how smart you were. You could easily keep up with him when he talked about his job. He also met his future brothers that day when the two family’s got dinner together. It was surprisingly easy for the two families to integrate. He quickly grew protective of his future younger siblings. He wished that Y/N hadn’t been so stubborn and had let their parents gotten married in order to make things easier but understood that it was something she had to do and his sister is the most stubborn person he knows. He is very protective over his sister and often lectures her on her drinking and clubbing antics. He nags at her so much it’s ridiculous, fuck when he saw her first tattoo, he threw a fit it was hilarious. He can’t see her as anything other than that wide eyed teenager with sad blue eyes, she’s gotten to good at hiding that look. >Sister in Law - Jeon Haeun (12/08/1992) - Vascular Surgeon  >Niece - Kim Seoyeon (29/01/2018) - N/A  >Nephew - Kim Youngsoo (31/05/2019) - N/A  Full blooded Brother - Kim Elijah (17/03/1993) - Cardiothoracic Surgeon. He is very grateful to Y/N as she is the one that practically had to force him to go to university for medicine. He didn’t want to leave his family and he also knew that their family wasn’t financially able to send him there. Y/N told him that they’ll manage but he still refused. But when you told him that when he becomes a doctor and starts earning money he can provide for their family; he was determined to do this. He said that he would get part time jobs and send money, but you told your mother and him that you’d take care of everything and for him to focus on school. You had to cut back on a lot of thing but were able to get him into a student dormitory, a small and cheap one but that's all you could do, a food budget and a bus pass. He was very grateful and guilty. He was determined to succeed and help their family. But it turns out that you managed to do that before him. Years later he found out that after you graduated high school at 15 you had been offered a full scholarship to Seoul National University for medicine but you had declined as you had to help your mother provide for your family and pay off your debts. He was especially angry since he also went to Seoul National University (like all of your brothers who went to university) and felt like he robbed you of the opportunity. He got into a huge argument with you when he found out. After the fight you two drank and reminisced about the few good childhood memories you had. He babies you a lot and is very overprotective of you. Stepbrother - Kim Taejoon (27/04/1993) - Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon. He’s the kind of brother to randomly stop by your office and force you to lunch with him. He’s the cliché overprotective brother, glares at any boy that looks in her direction and hates basically everything she wear unless they’re baggy. A part of him hates Y/N’s noncommittal attitude to relationships because well that’s his sister and well eww but the other part of him is glad. Glad that his sister will never allow herself to get emotionally hurt but it also saddens him that she won’t ever open herself up to love. He coddles her a lot always texting if she’s had dinner and checking on her when on tour. As much as you complain when he coddles you love it. Full blooded Brother - Kim Adriel (18/02/1997) - Footballer plays for Liverpool, (I have no clue I legit searched premier league football clubs and picked the first one) is the youngest Korean ever football player to make it into the premier league (Don’t know). Lives in England most of the time. You are the most precious person in the world to him. He is a lot more intuitive that his twin brother and was able to find out sooner than Adonis about their financial situation. After finding out he started waking up earlier to make his grandparent’s breakfast to let you sleep a bit more. At first you protested but the thought of even an extra hour of sleep sounded heavenly. He felt so guilty about how he acted before he knew and so when he found out he sobbed in your arms apologising. And your heart broke you always wanted to shield him from that. When he moved back to England, he was very anxious at the thought of living far from you. He texts you every single day, needing at least some form of communication to stop him from worrying about you.  Full blooded Brother - Kim Adonis (18/02/1997) - Youtuber and is living in England. He moved back there when he was 16 in 2013. His channel had 500,000 subscribers but was not making any money. He played games online with different youtubers and became close with them. They explained how they make a living off of YouTube and he became excited at the thought of pursuing this career. While it was a risk especially with his family’s financial situation at the time, he knew he had to do it. While his entire family was against it, especially Adriel, you convinced your mother to let him go and used all the money you saved for a rainy day to buy him a phone and a plane ticket on the condition that he attends online high school. He lived with a family friend until he could start supporting himself. As of now has amassed seventeen million subscribers. He visits Korea whenever he can, if you’re there, to see you. He’s regretful about how much pressure he put on you in order to achieve his dreams but whenever you tell him how proud you are with that glint in your blue eyes he knows that you mean it. Adrien and Adonis are fraternal twins. When they were young, they were very close. However, when Adonis wanted to move to England to further his YouTube career, Adriel was vehemently against it. Not because he didn’t love his brother and of course he’d miss him but because of the fact that Adonis wanted to make their situation even harder than it already was. That he wanted to make his sister work harder than she already did on something he wasn’t even sure would work. Due to this difference of opinions Adrien and Adonis grew apart and when Adonis went to England, they didn’t contact each other unless you made them. However, after Adrien moved to England they began to reconnect and slowly but surely their relationship began to heal. Much to your relief. The twins are the most attached to you as you are both a mother figure and sister to them. There is an unspoken rivalry and tension between them and Jungkook as they all get jealous and territorial over you. Stepbrother - Kim Hanuel (25/06/1997) - Studying Law at Seoul National University. He graduated high school a year early, then attended university for a year before enlisting in the military as soon as he could. He wanted to get it over with so he could focus on his future without it looming over his head. He finished his university degree in two years with a bachelor’s in law. He graduated at age 22 (International age) which was the same age as most people who were graduating however he had the advantage of having completed his military service. He is the younger brother Y/N sees the most as he lives in Seoul. You have sacrificed a lot for your family and would do anything for them.

Quarantined

Req: I really loved the quarantine fic with exo kai, could you do another quarantine fic with kai where he and you get into an argument (maybe bc he is reckless going out with with friends during this pandemic time and you get worried) and you try to avoid each other which is hard in this situation bc you live together and afterwards you make up. Fluff with a spice of smut in the end please 

Pairing: Jongin x reader Genre: fluff, makeout, slight mentions of smut Words: 1699 A/N: I actually have a good reason for the delay with writing this one, the same day I got this req was when I yelled at my dad cause he’s being really reckless too and keeps going out despite all of us telling him not to (I don’t live with my parents, they’re countries away and i’m hella worried) so it took me a while to write this and I’m sorry for taking too long 😅  To the anon who requested it, I hope you liked it! You can see this as a prequel to the previous quarantine fic lol

“Jongin.” Your tone is accusatory enough by merely uttering his name that you hear him turn the faucet shut to listen to you from the bathroom as you ask, “Why is Wonshik texting you about getting malatang?”

“Ah, that's cause...,” You look up from his phone as he enters the bedroom quickly, eyes falling on your form seated on the bed with his phone in your hand.

“We made plans way before all this happened,” Jongin explains sheepishly, using his hands to make a sweeping gesture that indicated the four walls which was all both of you had seen for about a month now after the government had declared lockdown.

“It’s lockdown,” you state in a deadpan tone, cocking your head at him in confusion. “You can’t go outside for malatang.”

“Babe.” Jongin rolls his eyes, laughing slightly. “Relax. It's just me, Wonshik and two other guys.”

“The situation is unsafe right now,” you say in confusion, wondering why he was so nonchalant about it. “Cases have been increasing rapidly these days and eating out now is really risky.”

“Don't worry about it,” he waved off your concern, still unconvinced as he searched for a shirt inside his closet.

Your voice is firm and deadpan as you say, “Jongin.”

You see the way his shoulders tense and he slowly turns to you, eyebrow rising at the grave seriousness in your face.

“There is a virus making people literally drop dead right now,” you state. “Medical staff around the world are begging people to stay at home, governments have declared lockdown for your own safety and you want me to not worry about you getting malatang with your friends?”

You enunciate all the words slowly, as if he was a child—something that you know aggravated him but you couldn't help it when he was frustrating you with his stubbornness too.

“We made plans, Y/N,” Jongin said in a clipped tone that let you know he was suppressing his annoyance.

“So did the world,” you snort derisively. “Students wanted to graduate, people wanted to get married, idols wanted to go on tours. And you know what? They're still doing it—at home. Cause that's logical.”

“What the hell is your problem?” Jongin finally blurts, looking appalled as he glares at you.

“My problem?” You repeat in fury, standing up from the bed although it did little since your boyfriend was still taller than you, although you didn't have to crane your neck as much.

“My ‘problem’,” you mocked, eyes blazing as you narrow them at the insolent man in front of you, “is that you're being completely reckless. I like you alive, Jongin.”

“I’m not going to die,” he rolled his eyes.

“Said every person who died immediately right after those words.”

“Are you seriously—?”

“I am.” You meet his gaze heatedly. “I’m serious, Jongin. Just cancel your plans or order malatang home and have it together on a zoom call with them or something. I’ll swallow the keys to that front door if I have to but I’m not letting you out of this house. You want to act stupid, do it within these walls.”

You throw his phone back onto the bed and stomp past him, hitting his arm with your shoulder on the way out of the room.

That was almost six hours ago. It was evening now and you laid on the couch, watching a cheesy horror movie on the television as you tried to ignore Jongin sitting at the kitchen counter behind you.

Although you'd told him he could order the malatang online, he hadn't budged much except for sulking in a corner with the defiant spirit to not talk to you. You'd been proud too by deciding against asking him about it again but you did go ahead and order it yourself for both of you—which you felt deserved credit.

Sure, it wasn't verbal and yeah, it wasn't an apology either but it was something. You were trying.

You'd also felt apologetic and reconsidered being so harsh on him in the morning because you knew he was genuinely looking forward to meeting his friends after a long time due to his busy schedules.

Key word here: felt. All feelings of remorse left your body when the stubborn man-child you were dating crossed his arms and pouted, ignoring the bowl of hot malatang that you’d pointedly placed in front of him, insistent to continue his silent tantrum as an act of defiance to your scolding in the morning.

You rolled your eyes as you lowered the volume on the television as the female character screeched, feeling his gaze still on your back. The movie was a lot louder with the silence in the house that both of you were too stubborn to break.

He’d paced around the room and busied himself with his phone there for a while until boredom got the best of him, drawing him out into the living room where you were. You could feel his gaze burning holes into the back of your head but you ignored him, watching the screen although you weren't really paying attention.

The final jump-scare echoed through the speakers as the demon screeched on the screen, making you blink as you realised the movie had ended. You sat up from the couch as the ending credits rolled, stretching slightly and hearing the popping sound as you arched your back. You made a small noise at the back of your throat at the eased tension in your back from lying back on the couch in one position for couple hours now, closing your eyes as you stretched your arms.

You start to lean back into the couch and freeze when your body feels the warmth and hard planes of a familiar chest instead of the leather seat.

You don't turn your head even as his arms slowly circle around your waist, pulling you back further into him until you're comfortably nestled between his long legs that don't even fit fully on the couch.

Damn it. He knew how much you liked cuddling on the couch since both your bodies crowded the small space until you didn't know where he ended and you began.

Still, you held onto your resolve and didn't turn even as his hands came to rest on your stomach, sneaking under your shirt that had hiked up as you stretched.

“Babe.” He muttered into the nape of your neck, pressing a butterfly kiss on your shoulder. “I'm sorry.”

You close your eyes, immediately easing in his grip. Feeling you finally give in, his arms tighten around you as he moulds your body to his, pressing you completely to him and you prompt, “For?”

“Being reckless,” he replies, making a trail of kisses on the back of your shoulder before trailing softly, gently up the curve of your neck. A breathy sigh leaves your lips involuntarily at the feeling of those plush lips against your skin and you close your eyes as he whispers the words right into your ear, “For being annoyed at you when you were looking out for me.”

You wait, leaning your head against the headrest of the couch. When he doesn't continue, you open your eyes and push, “And?”

Jongin stops, pulling away from your neck. You turn to look at him then and he gives you a blank expression, saying, “And nothing.”

You narrow your eyes. “Jongin.”

“Reckless. Being stupid. That's it.”

“One more stupid thing, Kim Jongin.”

You can see the annoyance in his eyes at his internal conflict. He presses his lips together and you shake your head, narrowing your eyes at him in judgement and the universe sides with you as right then his stomach growls.

Loudly.

Not even fighting off the smirk, you raise an eyebrow at your boyfriend as he finally groans in frustration, admitting in defeat, “Fine! I'm sorry for not eating the malatang you bought for me as peace offering.”

You laugh as he covers his face with his hands, turning around in his lap until you're straddling him as you wrap your arms around his broad shoulders, pulling him into you.

“Apology accepted,” you finally say with a smile, running your hands through his hair as you hug him. You pause before muttering, “You know I love you, right? I just want you to stay safe.”

Jongin pulls away then, looking at your face as he nods with an apologetic small smile that you can't help but give into.

“I know,” he says softly before teasing, “You like me alive.”

“Yes, I do,” you affirm, pressing your nose to his. Jongin's hand rises to cup your cheek, holding you in place to press his lips sweetly against yours.

“I love you too, Y/N,” he mutters and you kiss him back, tightening your arms around his shoulders.

Jongin grabs your hips then, kissing you heatedly and you feel the sudden urgency as his fingers dig into your sides, tongue shoving its way past your parted lips.

A low moan sounds at the back of your throat as Jongin quickly repositions both of you—pushing you down onto the couch with his body atop you and your fingers reach for the hem of his shirt, yanking it upwards when suddenly a loud growl interrupts the two of you.

You laugh loudly, unable to control yourself as Jongin hides his face in your neck and you remove your hands from beneath his shirt, pushing him off you.

“Let’s get some food in that growling stomach of yours first, you big baby,” you tease as he pouts, finally allowing you to pull away. “And maybe after that, I’ll give you some reason to enjoy lockdown.”

Jongin raises his eyebrow as you stand up and make your way to the kitchen, giving you a devilish smirk as he asks, “Food related or bedroom related?”

Your voice is slightly muffled as you bend over the fridge, searching for his malatang that you’d placed in the fridge earlier. “Ever considered eating food off of me in the bedroom?”

You hear Jongin curse loudly then as he jumps off the couch and follows you quickly into the kitchen.

A/N to everyone: even if y’all don’t have a Kai to keep you at home or the other way around, please stay safe at home and don’t be a risk to yourself/others! Higher chances of meeting Kai/your bias that way (alive)🙂

dog park ; kim wonshik

• summary: you and ravi go to the dog park together with his dog (Butt) and he watches as you get increasingly more excited about being around all of the dogs • pairing: kim wonshik x male!reader • word count: 721 • to do

A ball of white almost immediately jumps on top of you as you open the front door. Your bag drops and you kneel down, petting the dog all over before you even realize your boyfriend is standing next to you.

“Sometimes I wonder if you come over only to see him.” He wonders, patting both you and Butt on the head.

You smile up at him as you scratch the dog’s stomach. “I would never.”

He nods, absolutely believing you completely. “Sure.”

“Are you ready buddy?” You ask, rubbing the dog’s face. “You wanna go to the park? Yeah? The park?”

You repeat the word “park” a few more times, getting him increasingly more excited about going.

“Yeah, let’s go. Let’s get your leash ready.”

“I think your favorite date is when we go to the dog park,” Ravi mentions.

You smile and pull a leash off the hooks beside you. “I like dogs and also you, so any time I get time to spend time with both of those things, it’s always a good day.”

“Well, let’s get going before it gets any colder outside.” He grabs a scarf off his couch and throws it at you. “I know we’ll end up spending a while there, so you need to bundle up.”

You smile brightly and wrap it around your neck quickly, latching the leach onto Butt. He sits down in front of you, waiting for you to open the front door again before he moves at all.

“Good boy.” You smile and open the door, holding out your right hand for Ravi to grab. “Come on.”

Cold air whips into the room and you know it’s going to take significantly longer to get acclimated to the cold then it took when you got here. Ravi takes your hand and you stuff them in one of your pockets, wishing you had a glove on while you walk Butt. But luckily the dog park isn’t too far away, and you’ll end up running around and playing enough to warm you some.

Different types of dogs come into view as you unlock the gate and you can’t help the small bounce you end up doing seeing them all.

Ravi smiles as you unlatch the leash, handing him the object before you run after the dogs. The trails of your giggling follow behind you, leaving an easy way for Ravi to catch up. Your smile warms Ravi to his core and watches as you call every dog, no matter the age or size of it, a puppy and treat them like royalty.

You sit down in the middle of a crowded area, five dogs going back and forth from you to their owners, not quite able to decide which person to spend time with. You manage to begin a game of fetch and tug-of-war with two different dogs other than your own, still making time to scratch Butt on the head when he bumps into you.

Ravi comes to sit by you, attracting the calmer dogs to sit beside him and on his lap. He’s amazed the dogs can sense the difference in excitement, but he does get some dogs that wander over to him expecting the same energy you give but they do realize fairly quickly to walk back to you.

He hears you mumbling to yourself and pays just enough attention to hear you contemplating stealing the dogs. “I want to adopt all of you, but I don’t think your parents would like that very much. And Ravi gets upset when I try to adopt every animal I come across.”

“If you want to go to a shelter to adopt that’s fine but when you see a raccoon on the street, I have to draw a line there.”

“But raccoon’s get such a bad rep because of their little robber faces and their little scheming hands.” You whine at him. “Wait! Are you saying we can go to a shelter and pick up a dog because I’m completely one-hundred-percent down with that, let’s go tomorrow, we’ll bring Butt and see who he gets along with.”

“I don’t think I would be allowed to get another dog, so they would have to stay at your house.”

“Butt would have to join us so they can both be friends.”

“That’s crossing the line.”

As long as we are alive: the music to cope 2020

Kurang dari 2 minggu lagi tahun 2020 akan berakhir. Secara personal, tahun ini sangat special karena banyaknya hal ajaib yang memberi pelajaran berharga buat saya. Tahun yang berat, tapi jadi tahun yang menyenangkan pula. Di tahun ini hidup sepertinya sedang sulit betul. Pandemi yang memunculkan banyak ekor masalah mau tidak mau kita hadapi. Masa-masa sulit ini saya hadapi dengan bantuan musik dan film. Ketika tidak bisa jumpa dengan manusia secara langsung, music dan film jadi obat hati yang sepi dan bumbu perasaan yang hambar. Kali ini, saya akan memulai catatan akhir tahun 2020 dengan membicarakan musik yang berkesan dan membantu saya menghadapi jungkir balik 2020.

Tahun ini skena musik saya sedikit berubah dari tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Kalau dilihat dari Spotify wrap up, biasanya saya selalu berkutat di Indonesia Pop, Pop, atau kadang Indie musik. Tahun ini saya punya genre baru di daftar lagu saya: K-pop. Ya tahun ini karena saya terperangkap dalam kesepian dan kalut pikiran, saya jadi kembali ke jalur hiburan saat SMA dan kuliah awal dulu yaitu kroya pop. Tapi secara garis besar sebenarnya ya saya mendengarkan lagu-lagu Indonesia pop lagi seperti tahun sebelumnya. Berikut beberapa lagu yang paling berkesan selama tahun 2020; yang setiap saya mendengarnya otak saya otomatis memutar memori yang sama lengkap dengan perasaan nyeri-senang-sedih di momen tertentu. Disclaimer: akan jadi tulisan yang sangat panjang karena saya tidak punya alasan untuk menulis singkat. Terlalu banyak waktu luang.

Fine Today – Ardhito Pramono

Salah satu lagu di deretan OST Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari Ini. Saya tidak menonton filmnya saat baru rilis di bioskop, meski akhirnya saya nonton setelah rilis di Netflix, tapi saya menikmati OSTnya di awal tahun ini. Dulu waktu kerja di agency saya sering datang lebih awal untuk nyicil kerjaan karena otak lebih gampang kerja di pagi hari. Sebelum naik ke lantai 26 saya mampir ke toko roti dan beli es kopi. Setelahnya saya berjalan ke kantor sambil mendengarkan Ardhito yang berbisik we will find a way, rasanya hati tenang sekali setiap karena diafirmasi you saved the day. Saya sarankan lagu ini didengar saat kalian tergesa, agar lebih tenang sedikit karena alunannya yang kalem dan menenangkan, walau liriknya sebenarnya agak mesakke.

BTS and Blackpink Beginner Package: Blood Sweat & Tears, Dynamite, Boy With Luv, DNA; Ice Cream, How You Like That

Sengaja dua idol group ini saya jadikan satu kelompok, selain karena mereka sama-sama popular (banget), keduanya saya dengarkan di waktu yang sama tahun ini. Saya mendengarkan keduanya di Q3-4 tahun ini di tengah ketegangan bekerja di sebuah agency. Saat itu saya kerja untuk dedicated team sebuah brand tech telecom. Sungguh salah satu pengalaman kerja paling bikin geleng-geleng kepala sepanjang karir yang masih piyik ini. Tiap hari lembur, sabtu minggu masuk, makan gak teratur, bisa tidur sudah syukur karena tidur paling banyak 4 jam sehari. Imun turun dan demam 4 hari habis lembur di studio 2 hari. Langsung parno karena di studio ketemu banyak orang yang sayangnya tidak disiplin (copot masker) dari jam 9 sampai 2 pagi. Di tengah kacaunya siklus kerja itulah tiap hari saya dengerin BTS dan Blackpink dengan volume kenceng, banget, biar manteng di kepala sekalian lepas aja losssssskkkeeeee. Lagu-lagu Blackpink dan BTS yang bikin andrenalin naik dan otak bangun lumayan menyelamatkan saya dari nangis tiap hari karena didzolimi perburuhan duniawi. Kalau kalian mengalami kondisi yang sama kacaunya dengan saya, silakan langsung aja gas lagu mereka. Kamsahamida oppa onnie.

Serenata Jiwa Lara

Setiap dengar lagu ini sekarang sebenarnya saya agak sebal; kadang saya skip dan tidak saya nyanyikan karena teringat betul bagaimana rasanya bulan Maret di awal pandemic masuk Indonesia. Waktu itu saya resign dari kantor, tidak jadi kerja di kantor baru, nganggur, gak bisa pulang ke rumah. Perasaan campur aduk karena takut, bosan, plus yang paling membekas: malu. Malu karena sudah resign tapi tidak jadi kerja. Malu karena tidak jadi kerja terjadi bukan sekali tapi 3 kali, di 3 kantor. Bangun tidur setiap hari tanpa tahu apa yang akan dilakukan hari ini. Disaat itu Dian Sastro rilis lagu ini, muncul di spotify dan saya dengarkan. Iramanya semangat meski liriknya ngenes: tipikal lagu kesukaan saya. Pagi, siang, sore, malam saya dengarkan. Saya ingat betul setiap pagi saya berusaha tidak bangun siang, yoga di kamar kos, lalu mencuci baju dan siang belajar TOEFL dan TPA untuk tes CPNS sambil mendengarkan lagi ini. Begitu setiap hari, sambil memandangi pergerakan kasus aktif setiap sore. Kalau dengar lagu ini sekarang kadang weird feeling dan ingatan angka aktif itu muncul. Terlepas dari semua memori tidak enak yang muncul tiap mendengar lagu ini (sekarang), lagu ini telah membantu saya melewati masa awal pandemic dengan baik. Siapa tahu kalian suka lagu yang gembira tapi sedih, sedih tapi gembira, cocoklah lagu ini untuknya.

Start-up OST: Future, Running

Start-up jadi salah satu drakor paling berpengaruh ke hidup (mental) saya di tahun ini. Saya sudah sediakan slot sendiri untuk menceritakan kenapa saya suka sekali dengan Start-up terlepas dari banyaknya plot hole dan ending yang mengecewakan buat saya. Kali ini saya ingin memuji OST drakor yang membuat saya jumpa Kim Seonho ini. Ada dua lagu kesukaan saya: Future dan Running. Keduanya soundtrack yang diciptakan untuk Dalmi dan Dosan, sebab keduanya gembira ria. Ajaibnya, tiap mendengarkannya saya jadi ikut gembira. Rasanya seperti saya punya tujuan yang akan dicapai, padahal ya enggak. Rasanya saya punya seseorang yang bisa diandalkan di samping saya, padahal ya kagak ada siapa-siapa. Rasanya emang seperti ingin running to catch the future. Mendengarkan keduanya bisa membuat kita merasa dunia sedang dan akan baik-baik saja. Keduanya sangat saya rekomendasikan untuk kalian yang ingin punya secercah semangat di waktu yang njelehi seperti 2020.

What About You – Ravi & Ailee

Saya baru mengenal Ravi setelah saya menyukai Kim Seonho dan menonton 2 Days 1 Night. Sebelumnya saya tidak tahu ada seorang idol x rapper x produser x CEO x orang kaya bernama Wonshik alias Ravi. Setelah dicari tahu dan didengar ternyata lagunya banyak yang oke, salah satunya What About You ini. Sekali didengar langsung nyangkut di pikiran, dan begitu dicari arti liriknya langsung saya gak bisa lepas dari lagunya. Jika kamu baru saja putus atau ingin nguneke mantanmu yang lambenya lamis dan minta didoakan buruk di sepertiga malam, coba kirim saja lagunya ke dia. Apalagi kalau mantanmu selingkuh, terus diselingkuhin balik pacarnya. Ravi bantu kita untuk berkata modar kapokmu kapan dalam Bahasa korea ke dalam lirik I heard the news that you’re screwed; your boyfriend cheated, I heard that too. How could you pick a guy like yourself? Tiap denger saya senyum sendiri. Rasanya seperti dibalaskan dendamnya padahal saya gak punya dendam ke mantan.

Dua Lipa Ma Queen: Don’t Start Now, Hallucinate, Kiss and Make Up, Levitating

Oh dear ma Queen, kalua gak ada Dua Lipa di playlist saya tahun ini mungkin saya gak akan survive dari bulan puasa sampai sekarang. Ya mungkin survive tapi sedih gloomy nglangut dan hidup bagai kumbahan kotor. Beruntung saya kepincut mbak Dua Lipa waktu nyetrika malem-malem. Sekiranya nih kalian mau cari lagu yang menyemangati hari-hari dan liriknya apik, coba ke album si mbak ini. Kadang liriknya lucu dan savage, yang kalau denger jadi merasa terhibur. Meski pun juga perlu hati-hati kalau dengar dengan orang tua (atau anak kecil), apalagi kalau mereka suka penasaran kayak ibu saya. Tiba-tiba di tengah nyetir di jalan beliau tanya, “dek ini lagu tentang apa?” waktu saya dengerin Kiss and Make Up. Hmm….

Gemintang Hatiku

Kalau lagu ini sebenarnya tidak sengaja masuk jajaran lagu yang berpengaruh di 2020. Bukan karena saya penggemar Indonesian Idol atau pendengar setia Prambors top 40, tapi saya mau gak mau dengerin dia terus karena anak kosan suka banget lagu ini. Tiap pagi anak kosan mainin lagu ini di speaker yang kenceng, malem abis makan malam karaokean di taman lagu ini, belanja bulanan di mobil nyetel lagu ini, pas lagi sesi mager-mager di kamar…nyetel lagu ini pula. Ya gimana jadinya kan hati ini terbius candu asmaramu~

Any Song – ZICO

Salah satu hal paling annoying tapi akhirnya sampai juga ke hidup saya adalah…TikTok. Jujur saya sebel sama TikTok di awal tahun karena TikTok erat kaitannya dengan corona, dia muncul saat semua bosan di rumah karantina mandiri. Setiap saya dengar “lagu TikTok” hati saya kemropok, agak sebel karena keinget situasi awal pandemic. Apalagi kalau dengar feeling good like I should…I should I should enak men kowe should good disaat sebuah situasi bad. Lah marah. Tapi ada satu pengecualian lagu TikTok: Any Song. Tiap saya dengar Any Song saya gak pengen marah, gak kemropok, gak ada dendam dan sebal. Justru saya pengen gerakin badan yang gak seberapa luwes ini. Thanks ZICO, kamu berhasil tidak annoying meski jadi lagu TikTok.  

New Kpop Fever: Some – SOYOU; Perhaps Love – Eric Nam, CHEEZE + All song in Korean Café Playlist Youtube

Tahun ini jadi tahun saya ngulik KPOP sampai ke lagu-lagu lawasnya dan…lagu yang saya gak tau lagunya siapa pokoknya dicari dengan keyword ‘Korean Café Playlist’. Saking kangennya saya nongkrong di coffee shop, dan pengen banget ke Korea jadi yasudah kita kombinasikan saja kepengenan itu dalam keyword Youtube search. Sungguh saya nyesel banget ke Korea dulu gak maksimal menikmati perjalanan. Kalau diingat malah bikin sebel karena sepanjang trip isinya mangkel. Belum lagi penyesalan kenapa saya gak extend aja sendirian 10 hari tambahan di Korea sendiri bodo amat mau ditinggal bodooooo (lah emosi). Sekarang jadi Cuma bisa berandai-andai kapan bisa ke Korea. Andai-andainya makin ngaco karena di rumah aja selama pandemic. Wes jan……Cuma bisa dinikmati dengan playlist yang menenangkan jiwa biarpun gak tau apa artinya. Aigyo….

Super Special Mention: Epitone Project (Younha) – Sleepless

Baru saya dengarkan bulan Desember ini, karena memang baru saja rilis. Awalnya saya dengerin karena model MVnya tidak lain tidak bukan Han Ji Pyeong ku sayang mas Kim Seonho. Ternyata lagunya enak banget dan pas nonton liat Seonho nangis jadi eh…kok basah pipi ini. Di jalan kalau kudengar lagu inipun ada cekit-cekit dikit jadi pengen punya pacar rasanya. Tepatnya pengen punya pacar Kim Seonho. Dengerinnya menyayat banget dan ikut pusing kayak insomnia. Ingin aku memeluk Seonho sambil bilang gwaenchana..

Kurang lebihnya itu lagu-lagu yang menemani saya melewati 2020 yang sering bikin speechless. Jujur 2020 berat banget dan ternyata musik bisa bantu saya terus berjalan bairpun terseok. Saya yang cetakan dasarnya cengeng dan mudah nangis jadi lebih mudah nangis kalau denger lagu di tahun ini. Tapi habis nangis lega dikit padahal gak tau apa yang ditangisin. Ya Namanya pengalaman spiritual musik ya……gitu lah ya…. Kalian gimana perjalanan musiknya di tahun ini? Penuh lirik haru biru atau suka cita di tengah kacaunya hari-hari yang dilewati?

Christmas Short #3: Family Traditions Part I

Just a note. International age Yohan is 16, Liam is 14, and Hyeji is 11, but in Korean age they’re a year older. This went from a mere two pages when I made the earlier post to seven pages. I am honestly so much happier with this version and I hope you enjoy it!

Squirrelly 

Her eyes raked over every word of the instructions as frustration set in. Every year since she was 35 she made this and every year she struggled. She thought by now being 44, she would be a pro at making a gingerbread school from scratch. But she just wasn’t gifted with baking skills like her son, Yohan. Or maybe it was her inability to remember what ingredients she used and didn’t. Elfie let out a groan as she picked up the bowl and stirred to solidify the cookie dough, but was again unsuccessful. 

It wasn’t just the waste of ingredients that frustrated her. But she was alone in her thoughts. Hoseok was in Japan on a business trip for a week. The kids were at school and she would be at work but her school had a three day weekend because of a pipe that had burst and needed some repairs.

Elfie flipped on the water and threw in the dishes she used in the sink. She put the stopper in the sink and put in some soap. She let the water run as she went to the crockpot she started in the morning. Though her skills with cooking had improved, her baking had less to be desired. She checked on the crockpot before reluctantly returning to the sink to properly clean up her mess.

Christmas was her favorite holiday. Winter was her favorite season. The amount of Christmas decor she had was enough to fill an entire mansion. They had two trees, one fake pre-lit white one and a real one Hoseok brought in a week prior. Both fully decorated. Decorations hung over every door in the house and even on the ceilings minus her children’s rooms. They all disagreed with having “Christmas throwing up in their room” as her youngest, Hyeji, put it. 

However, even with all the Christmas lights, Elfie wasn’t as cheerful as she had been during previous Decembers. She counted it for many reasons. Hoseok may miss Christmas if his trip succeeds. He’ll extend his stay to begin setting up a record studio there. Deja and Wonshik wouldn’t be in Korea as they decided to spend Christmas alone without the kids. Dropped them off in Savannah with their grandma. It was their anniversary, the day of Christmas, so they went to Hawaii to celebrate. Kiara and Junhong were in Canada with the kids. They decided to travel this year since the kids were getting older and they wanted fun memories. 

Which left Elfie alone with her kids who were rarely home. She saw them a few times a day. In the morning before they all left for school, after school before they went to friend’s houses, dinner, and then before bed. But they were older now. They were at an age where being with mom wasn’t fun anymore. 

Yohan was already 16, though in Korea he was 17, and he was half a year from graduating high school. He was already so independent--though he was always an independent child. Working part-time at the nearby cafe in the evenings and some weekends. While maintaining an A average and in the volleyball team at his school. He took up driving his siblings to school on top of everything else. He was so close to leaving the house and Elfie wasn’t prepared to be down one less child. 

Then there was 14-year-old Liam who spent his time at Sierra’s or Mia’s home. He spent all his free time with his friends, Shion and Suah, who were helping him start up his own webcomic. Between writing, drawing, and attempted editing, they spend their time attached at the hip. They were all into video games or going out and hanging out with their group of friends. However, once home, Liam preferred to spend his time either with his mom and having her be his first reader to each new chapter he writes or he is locked away in his room working alone. 

And lastly, there was 11-year-old Hyeji, the girl who vanished the moment she woke up. Not even a teen, Elfie already had to deal with her one and only daughter already disappearing and doing her own thing. She always had plans. Going to the mall with friends or karaoke or her swim and dance competitions. The girl was always on the go, not that she never didn’t tell her parents where she went or with who. Hyeji was good at keeping them in the loop, but she was her daddy’s daughter. She would go to him before ever telling her mom things, something that used to upset Elfie. 

With all her children doing their own thing, she wondered what good she was as a mom. She knew they loved her and she loved them, but when they got older and took off on their own, would they come back to her? Would they check in and keep her in the loop with their lives?

“Jeez hyung, you drive like an old hag! I have to be at Shion’s in five minutes!” Liam grumbled as he stomped behind his older brother. 

Hyeji let out a mocking laugh, “As if you being late will do anything. You are always at your boyfriend’s home!”

Liam’s face reddened, “He’s NOT my boyfriend!” He crossed his arms, “Why are you so freakin’ annoying?”

“What did you just call me?” Hyeji glared as she stalked after Liam.

Yohan rolled his eyes at his siblings’ bickering, “Enough, guys! Mom’s home, so no bickering in front of her at least.” He pulled at his house key and jingled the locks until they unlocked. He swung open the door and entered first. “Mom?”

Elfie finished drying the bowl and set it on the counter when she heard Yohan’s voice, “Kitchen!”

Yohan’s eyes widened, “Oh shit!” The keys fell out his hands as he kicked off his shoes and took off into the kitchen afraid of what he would see. To his surprise, there was no mess.

Elfie watched his eyes search frantically around the kitchen and puffed out her cheeks, “I’m not destroying the kitchen, Yohan.” She tsked, “You have no faith in me, I swear.” 

“No offence ma, but can you blame me?” He gave her a grin as he shrugged off his snow jacket. Elfie smiled back, but Yohan could tell it was forced. Her facial expressions had always betrayed her ever since he was a kid he knew when something was wrong with his mom. 

A cackle followed after Yohan, “You didn’t just run, hyung, you flew! Did you hear him, mom?” Liam staggered through the kitchen with his backpack slung over a shoulder. “He said “oh shit” and ran.”

Yohan clicked his teeth as he wrapped his arm around his brother’s throat and yanked him. Liam dropped his bag with a choked cry as he was put in a headlock. “Don’t use that language around mom, ya snitch” he rubbed his knuckle into Liam’s head. 

“MOM!” Liam cried out.

Elfie sighed, “Enough you two. Let him go, Yo-yo.” Yohan released Liam who was full on pouting as he glared at his brother. 

Hyeji finally made her appearance in the kitchen as she headed to the fridge, “Weren’t you in a hurry to get to your boyfriend’s house?” 

“I ALREADY TOLD YOU HE’S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!”

“Kids! Enough!” Elfie raised her voice to get her children’s attention. Very rarely did she raise her voice at them. They gave each other a look before they looked at their mom. “Sorry… I just--have a headache.” She lied. 

Liam went to his mom first and bent down enough to hug her tightly which she quickly returned. Both of her sons towered over her at 5’5 and 5’10 whereas her daughter was only 5’0. Liam pressed a quick peck to his mom’s temple before he released her. “Hope you feel better, mom. I’m going to Shion’s place, but I’ll be home for dinner.” He headed back out the house with his backpack in tow. 

“Are you making cake?” Hyeji asked as she stirred the contents in the bowl. 

Elfie grinned proudly, “For your information, they’re cookies--Well they’re supposed to be cookies, but it won’t form right.”

Yohan and Hyeji grimaced as they looked at one another. “Why is it so watery?” Hyeji let the spoon go, “Actually, I probably don’t want to know. Oppa, you have fun with this!” She waved her hand over the bowl of liquified cookies. The doorbell sounded and after snatching some chips and several drinks, Hyeji made for the door, “It’s just Hiyori and Jinae. We’ll be in my room if you need me.”

Yohan cleared his throat as he went to the counter, “What cookies are you trying to make?” He asked as he looked at the ingredients. “Chocolate chips?” He picked up the milk chocolate chip bag. Yohan then grabbed the bowl and stirred the contents, “this smells like... ginger?”

“I knew that it didn't belong in the gingerbread…” She shook her head, “What was I thinking?”

“Gingerbread? Were you making a gingerbread school for the kids?” Surprise was laced in his words. When Elfie nodded, he frowned, “Why didn’t you tell us? We would have helped. We always do.” He poured the questionable mixture down the drain and rinsed out the bowl.

Elfie looked away from him as she pretended to look at the cookbook, “You guys have your own things. I’m sure it’s annoying helping your mom make a gingerbread school every year.” The bowl was set in front of her as Yohan continued to make his way around the kitchen for other ingredients. 

Yohan went to the pantry door and pulled off an apron that hung on the door. “Not to be mean mom, but you don’t get to decide that. I personally like making them every year.” He put the apron on and tied it around his waist. He went to his mom and took the cookbook, “We don’t need this.” He shut the cookbook and placed it on a shelf out of his mom’s reach. 

Elfie laughed, “WE may not need it, but I do!” 

Yohan tapped his temple and grinned, “It’s all up here, mom. Now then” he rolled up his sweater sleeves and washed his hands, “let’s get to it.”

“Don’t you have somewhere you need to be? Work? Practice?”

Yohan shook his head, “I don’t work on Mondays and practice is in the mornings now.” He grabbed the first measuring cup, “Now first thing, flour!” He looked around the counter space for the flour. His eyes went to each ingredient on the counter as he silently named them in his head. “Mom, where’s the flour?”

“It should be over there! I haven’t put any of the things away yet.” Elfie made her way to the pantry and swung open the door. She glanced downward to the large container of flour that rested on the last shelf, “Scratch that” she bent down and picked up the flour. She turned to her son with a sheepish grin as she held up the container, “Guess I did forget something.” 

Yohan tried to keep a straight face as he looked at his mom, but the shaking of his shoulders gave him away. “I’m sorry” a chuckle slipped between his words. His chuckle formed into laughter, “How do you forget the most important part of cookies? Ah jeez!” He bent over laughing harder as she shook his head, “What am I going to do with you, mom?”

Elfie watched her son with feelings she couldn’t explain. His laughter brightened up her world just as Hoseok’s did. Their similarities always seemed to shine through more and more on her bad days. But this time, it hurt. How many more times will she get to see his smile before he leaves for good? Elfie scolded herself for thinking of it and her grimace didn’t go unnoticed.

Yohan’s smile faded as he leaned on the counter, “What’s going on, mom?”

“Nothing” she forced out with a smile. “Here’s the flour, hun.” She went to the opposite side of the counter and sat on the bar stool. “How many cups?”

Yohan handed her the cup, “Three even cups” he pushed over the spreader to help her even out the top. He watched her carefully as she tossed in the first cup. “You know you can talk to me, right? Like, I know I’m not dad, but I am a good listener.” 

Elfie’s lips curved into a small smile, “I know, my love, but it’s just something stupid.” 

“Apparantely not too stupid if it’s getting you down, ma.” He got the salt, baking powder, ground allspice, ginger, and cinnamon into the bowl as Elfie finished the second cup and prepped for the last one.

“I was just thinking of time. How fast it’s gone… How grown y’all have gotten. I wish I could stop time--or maybe just slow it.” She wiped at her eyes with her sleeve, “I mean, look at you! In six months, you’ll be out on your own living life… Not needing mom or dad anymore… Neither would the others.” She whispered the last part to herself. Yohan let out an exasperated sigh as he reached over and flicked his mom in the head. “Ouch! Yohan!” She split the last cup into the bowl.

Yohan took the bowl and stirred the contents, “You’re right, it was a stupid thought.” He grabbed a second bowl and threw in butter and the brown sugar, “Stir this with the mixer until it’s smooth.” He wiped his hands and pulled out his phone. “Let’s be real, Hyeji wouldn’t last a day--no she wouldn’t last a morning in the world alone. Girl can’t clean and her skills in the kitchen are only second to yours.” 

“HEY!” Elfie’s mouth dropped as she stared at her son.

He smirked, “Mix please, ma.”

“I’ll have you know, my cooking HAS improved” she grumbled as she started the mixer. 

Yohan pocketed his phone as he watched his mom beat the mixture, “Okay, you can stop for a moment.” She turned off the mixer and he grabbed an egg. With a quick snap, the egg opened into the bowl and he threw the shell in a bowl beside him before pouring in the molasses and water. “High speed please.” Elfie flicked on the mixer and content spilled from the bowl, “Carefully” he added as he wiped away the mess on the counter. “And Liam--well he’s Liam. He’s always been attached to you. I can guarantee once he’s out of school, the kid will still come by and visit and if he can’t, he’d just blow up your phone.” Yohan grabbed the bowl of dry ingredients and slowly poured it into the bowl his mom mixed. Once he finished he grabbed the dirty items and put them in the sink as Elfie turned off the mixture. “They won’t just disappear from your life, ma. Sure, right now they are about their friends and doing what they want, but they’ll always come back. This house isn’t home, you and dad are home.” He didn’t look back at his mom and missed her wiping her eyes to keep her tears from falling in the gingerbread mix.

boys vs. boys: Vixx

← previous: toys vs. boys

Summary: Your next marketing event for Vixx goes off without a hitch... except for the part where your six boyfriends decide to throw a fit over your business cards.

Words: 4k

Warnings: polyamory, super-dumb jealousy

*

You look around the venue filled with people and take a moment to pat yourself on the back.

Y/N, you are a marketing genius.

Several months ago, you pitched the idea of targeting female fans’ boyfriends to the rest of your marketing team. Men could give their girlfriends the “gift” of Vixx by purchasing tickets to exclusive fanmeets and photo ops, where they could record, photograph or otherwise document their girlfriend meeting Vixx in-person, thus giving their girlfriend a lasting memory.

It took a few meetings to come up with an appropriate strategy, since your team’s historically focused on targeting the core audience of female fans. But after enough buy-in, you got the budget and resources to build your campaign, and now you’re standing at the back of the conference centre’s main hall, basking in the record attendance numbers.

“Vixx is on their way,” someone reports through your headset. That’s your cue: you start to make your way discreetly toward the front of the hall.

On the left side of the room, it’s mostly women sitting in numbered seats. Behind the cordoned area on the right, it’s general seating occupied mostly by men, where they’ll be able to record or take photos of their girlfriends and Vixx.

You reach the front of the room and position yourself in between the crowd of men and the table where Vixx will sit. Just in time: cheers fill the air as the members file through the back door, waving and smiling.

“Real V! V-I-X, we are Vixx! Hello~!” Hakyeon kicks things off with the familiar introduction, and the atmosphere in the room hits the roof; even some of the men in your area are getting into it and clapping along. You make eye contact with a few and quickly look away, suppressing a grin.

“Hi everyone, how are you?” Leo picks up his mic next.

“We’re so glad to see you,” Hakyeon continues, “it’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”

The audience calls their assent, and Ken chimes in.

“We couldn’t wait to see our Starlight babies!” he says. “That’s why we’re holding this event.”

Hyuk lifts his mic. “Everyone, you know how this works, right?” He pauses to let the “Yes!” from the audience ring. “That’s right, you have your number in the order on your tickets.”

“But today, there will be time for you to take a photo with each one of us,” Hakyeon says brightly. “If your boyfriend is here and ready to film you from over there, he can do so!”

“If you’re a good Starlight and saved yourself for us,” Ravi says cheekily, “we can take a selca instead.”

“Yah,” Hongbin says, “there are no bad Starlights. They’re all our precious babies.” It’s a line that was scripted for him by one of your colleagues, so his delivery is flat, but the fans react predictably well.

You notice some eye-rolling from the men in front of you as the women eagerly queue up, but that’s to be expected; as long as nobody throws a jealous tantrum and derails the event, everything should be fine.

*

“You were giving out your number to them.”

“I was giving out my business card, Hakyeon.”

“Your card has your number on it, doesn’t it?”

Four hours later, you’re standing in the empty dressing room, facing off against an upset Hakyeon. The event was a success, but you unfortunately failed to anticipate an alternate source of jealous tantrums: your own boyfriends.

“You realize that those men have girlfriends, right,” you say as patiently as you can, “that’s why they were there.”

“Yah, noona.” There’s the noise of crinkling plastic behind you as Hyuk finishes gulping down an entire water bottle, smushes it casually in one fist and comes over to join the conversation. “I heard them talking to you, some of those guys were there with their sisters or cousins.”

You frown at him. “How did you even hear that? Were you not paying attention to your fans?”

“I was!” he says indignantly. “But Hongbin-hyung was holding up the line and there was no one in front of me and then I heard that one guy asking about you.”

“What guy?”

“That guy who asked you what your ideal type was!”

You squint and try to remember, while Hakyeon and Hyuk stare at you like you’re a suspect about to confess. “Oh. That?” You laugh as you recall. “Hyuk-ah, you know what he was saying right before that?”

“That his ideal type is someone just like you?” he says grumpily.

“Of course not.” You reach up and scrub your hand through his hair. “He was saying that his sister’s ideal type is you, Hyukie.”

Hakyeon barely stifles his snort, while Hyuk flushes. “So what? That was probably his segue into asking about you.”

“But I told him I agreed with his sister,” you say brightly, and grin as Hyuk turns even redder. “And I think he got the message.”

“Hm.” Hyuk ducks his blushing face away, the corners of his mouth fighting a smile.

“Y/N-ah.” Hakyeon sidles closer, amusement gone. “You told him Hyuk is your ideal type?”

You look over at him. “So?”

Hakyeon just pouts at you, disappointment leaking from his every pore. You laugh a little and take his hands in your own.

“What do you want me to say? ‘Actually, all six Vixx members are my ideal type’?”

“Why not?” he says defensively as his fingers intertwine with yours.

“Don’t be dumb, hyung.” Hyuk edges in as well, eyeing your hands. “That sounds ridiculous.”

“Yah. Who are you calling dumb?” Hakyeon frees one hand to chop at Hyuk, who ducks it skillfully and then snatches your free hand in his.

As Hakyeon glares, Ken comes sailing into the room. “Hey, here you are!” He comes to a stop when he sees Hakyeon and Hyuk on either side of you. “What’s going on? Are we fighting?”

“No, we’re not fighting,” you say quickly, tugging your hands free. “We’re cleaning up. You can help!” 

“Oh, ah...” Ken looks around at the mess of the room, then quickly whips out his phone. “I was actually going to send an SNS post, so I’ll do that first, okay?” He adds a wide smile to the end of his excuse.

“One post,” Hakyeon warns him, “and then you’re helping us clean up.”

“Hyuk-ah, can you put this on that trolley over there?” You push a hefty package of disposable water bottles toward Hyuk. “Hakyeon-ah, look through these coats and tell me which ones belong to you guys and which ones are going to the lost-and-found.”

While they’re both doing so, Ken lets out a dramatic gasp.

“Y/N-ah!”

“Hm?” You walk over and peer at the phone screen he’s thrusting at you. 

“Look!”

“It’s… a tweet about this fanmeeting?”

“Look at the photo!”

You look, and still see nothing out of the ordinary. “It’s… a flatlay of swag from this fanmeeting,” you try next.

Ken whines in exasperation and points to a white rectangle in the corner of the photo. “It’s your name! It’s your card!”

“What??” Hakyeon drops the coat he’s holding and hurries over.

Hyuk joins the huddle around Ken’s phone. “What, what is it?”

When you squint, sure, you can make out the company logo at the top of the card, and a tiny set of blurry characters that do spell out your name. But—“Jaehwan-ah, nobody’s going to notice that.”

“I just did!”

“Yeah, but that’s because you know what my business cards look like. No one else would pay any attention.”

“That’s not the problem, Y/N-ah.” Ken jabs at his phone screen again. “The problem is—”

“The problem is,” Hakyeon takes over, “why were you handing out your card?”

You huff out a breath and step away from your little circle. “I hand out my card because it helps people to remember the event, to remember you guys. If someone digs out the card from the bottom of their pocket later, they’re going to go, ‘Oh right, this company with those idols’. It’s an opportunity to make a mark.”

“More like an opportunity for a booty call,” Hyuk mutters.

Ken sucks in a dramatic gasp while Hakyeon bristles violently. You just facepalm.

“People do not use business cards for booty calls.”

“You don’t know for sure, noona,” Hyuk protests.

“Why even take that risk?” Hakyeon says.

“Yeah! We can just give them more swag instead of sacrificing you,” Ken says.

“I’m not being sacrificed, Jaehwan-ah.”

“Who’s being sacrificed?” Ravi comes into the room.

“Nobody,” you tell him.

Ravi comes over to lean one arm against Ken and the other against you. “Noona, I barely saw you during the entire event. I thought you were going to be on the floor with us.”

“She was too busy talking with all the men,” Hyuk grumbles.

“The men?” Ravi’s eyebrows rise.

“What men?” comes the suspicious question from Leo as he enters the room, Hongbin right behind him.

“All those men at today’s event,” Hyuk elaborates.

“I was doing my job, okay,” you interrupt, a little exasperated.

“What are we talking about?” Hongbin asks, sitting down so he can look at you all judgmentally from a distance away.

“Y/N-ah was handing out her card,” Hakyeon says grimly.

“Her what?” Ravi says.

“My business card,” you emphasize. “Because that’s what business cards are for.”

“Noona, you gave them out to random strangers!” Hyuk exclaims.

“...Random strangers?” Leo’s slowly worming his way into the circle around you.

“Look!” Ken holds out his phone. “Someone tweeted a freaking picture of her card!”

“Jaehwan-ah, what’s the username of the account?” you question.

Ken blinks, then checks. “Why?”

“It’s a female name, right?”

“So what?” Ravi’s arm has migrated over your shoulder so that he’s got you in a sort of backhug, arms pinned to your side.

“So, it’s not like I only gave out my card to men.” On instinct, you test your mobility; you feel Ravi tighten his hold to keep you in place. “Wonshik-ah.”

His muscles tense, but when you tap at his forearm, he grumbles and loosens enough for you to step away.

You put your hands on your hips and look around at all of them. “Look. Giving my business card out is a part of my job. I’m in marketing, it’s going to happen. You don’t want me to lose my job, do you?” You raise your brows.

“Of course not, noona,” Hyuk says immediately. “But—”

“Good. Because I’ve given out my card countless times in the past and I’ll continue giving it out in the future,” you state.

“Countless times?” Leo repeats.

“In the past?” Ken sidles up to your side. “Like, in the recent past or in the far past?”

“You’ve given out your card so many times you can’t even count?” Hakyeon looks disproportionately horrified by this idea.

Why is this what they’re focusing on? “That’s not the point—”

Hongbin interrupts with a quiet tsk. “Noona. Are you trying to make us mad?”

You roll your eyes at him. “If I wanted to make you guys mad, I’d just ask Hyuk who his favourite hyung is.”

There’s a pause as everyone looks to Hyuk.

Hyuk opens his mouth, then wisely closes it and narrows his eyes at you.

You can’t help pushing a little, for your own entertainment. “You do have a favourite, right, Hyukie?”

“Who is it, Hyuk-ah?” Leo demands.

“You can’t ask me to pick a favourite,” Hyuk hedges, sidling around you so you’re in between him and Leo. “That’s like asking N-hyung to pick his favourite dongsaeng.”

“Oh, well.” You shrug lightly and launch the bomb: “I always thought your favourite was Jaehwan-ah.”

“Your favourite is Jaehwan?!” Leo starts toward Hyuk.

“I didn’t say that!” Hyuk yelps as he dives behind you. “Noona said that, not me!”

“Aw, really?” Ken bounces around your other side to meet Hyuk for a big hug. “I love you too, our baby maknae~!”

“Yah, Sanghyuk, I raised you.” Leo swerves around you, Ravi and Hakyeon to get at Hyuk and Ken, who run in the opposite direction.

You stifle a laugh and turn to Hakyeon. “As for Hakyeon-ah…” You smile up at him. “I’m your favourite dongsaeng.”

That gets him blushing in a second. “Ah, I mean…”

“I’m not?” You add a dash of aegyo.

“Of course you are.” Hakyeon folds easily with a huge smile on his face, and he opens his arms to you.

But Ravi grabs for you and pulls you out of reach. “That doesn’t mean you’re her favourite, N-hyung,” he points out.

“I wasn’t assuming that,” Hakyeon defends himself.

“Good.” Ravi nestles his head on top of yours and snuggles you deeper into his chest; Hakyeon narrows his eyes.

Hongbin gives a judgey sniff. “Don’t be so clingy.”

“Why not?” Ravi hums, unperturbed, as he angles you away from Hakyeon’s attempts to put his hands on you.

Amused, you let Ravi shield you from Hakyeon, while in the background, Hyuk and Ken giggle madly as they run from Leo. “Yeah, why not, Hongbin-ah? You don’t want me?”

“Don’t put words in my mouth, noona.”

“Just asking.”

“What, you’d rather I come over and wrestle you away from Ravi?” He snorts.

“No, I’d rather you let the others show their affection how they want without judging them for it,” you reply promptly.

Hongbin closes his mouth around the retort on his tongue and looks away, his cheeks darkening ever so slightly. “Doesn’t mean I don’t want you,” he says, tone lower.

You have to smile. He’s too tsundere for his own good, really.

A hard jostle against Ravi causes his grip on you to loosen; Ken’s barged right into him, Hyuk hot on his heels. Hakyeon takes his chance to snatch you into his arms while Ravi is pushed into Leo’s path as a barrier by Ken and Hyuk.

“Yah, brats,” Leo says on a pant, glaring at them as they peek over Ravi’s shoulders. He’s got his hands backward on his hips and is bent slightly forward like a middle-aged aunt winded from chasing kids around.

You decide to intervene before he collapses of exhaustion. “Okay, everyone, we really have to clean this place up before the venue staff kick us out. Help me out?”

“Of course,” Hakyeon says, good mood restored now that he’s got you. He brushes his lips against your temple, then lets you go to whip Ken, Ravi and Hyuk into action. “C’mon, kids, time to work. And no, Jaehwan-ah, you are not posting one more photo on SNS.”

You approach Leo, who’s still balefully eyeing Ken and Hyuk while his chest heaves up and down. “Taekwoon-ah.”

He looks around, expression stiff.

“You know it was a joke.” You reach up and slide your hand up the back of his neck.

He responds immediately, relaxing into your hold like a cat being petted. “Hm.”

“No hurt feelings?” you check, stroking your fingers into his hair.

“Mm. No.” Leo’s voice drops a few tones; he leans his head into your touch and, at the same time, drapes an arm around your waist to bring you closer. “Y/N-ah.”

“Yeah?” 

You look up in time to see his eyelids drop a little, gaze focused on your face. Your mouth. He tugs a little with the arm around your waist, urging you to rise onto your tiptoes, meet him halfway.

“No, Taekwoon, not here,” you say as sternly as you can, and pull your hand out of his hair.

He lets out a sound that’s almost a whine. “Y/N-ah…”

“Help me clean up, and we can get home faster and do what you want there,” you pitch.

Fortunately that gets through, and he stops trying to get you on your tiptoes to kiss him. “What do you need me to do?”

Ah, helpful boyfriends are the best. You direct him to sorting out the remainder of the swag into boxes, then check on the others to make sure nothing’s going awry.

When you circle back to the table, Hongbin’s still sitting there. “Aren’t you going to put me to work?” he asks sardonically.

You stop in front of him and reach out to muss his coiffed hair. “There’s not much left to do. Want to sit here and get all the tsundere out of your system before we go home?”

“No. N-hyung’s going to yell if I don’t help.” He removes your hand from his hair and then drops his arm, forcing you to step closer with your hand still in his. “Tell me what to do.”

“Okay.” You try to think, but his perfectly-styled hair is just begging to be ruffled, and your free hand instinctively rises.

Hongbin grabs that hand, too, and brings both your hands down, pulling you in even closer. “Noona.”

He’s looking up at you, studying your face intently enough to make you feel embarrassed, and you get the urge to pull back. “Sorry, your hair just looks too good,” you offer as your excuse.

His head cocks. “Does it?”

“Or maybe it’s just you.” You give him a smile.

He tilts his head further. “Just me,” he repeats.

“Too cheesy?”

Hongbin considers for a moment. “No,” he decides. Then he pulls you down to plant a kiss on your mouth.

You wobble a bit when he lets you go, caught off-guard, and a smirky smile curls the edges of his lips. “Clingy enough for you?” he asks.

Before you can swat the smug look off his face, your phone rings. You jump at the sound, breaking apart from Hongbin, and quickly reach into your pocket to pick up.

Hongbin’s peering at the screen almost before you are, bent over to squint at the number. “Who is it?”

“I don’t know.” You step away from him to get some space and answer: “Hello?”

“Y/N-ssi?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

“This is Jihun-manager with the venue. I’m just calling to check if the rooms are ready to close up?”

“Oh, yes.” You turn to glance guiltily at the wall clock. “Er, most of them are, we just have one room left. I think it’s Dressing Room B.”

“Okay, I’ll tell my staff to leave that one for last.”

“Thanks very much. We’ll definitely be out before nine pm,” you promise.

As you end the call, you abruptly realize that all six Vixx members are standing around you, focused on you.

“Uh. Guys?” You step back a little, looking from face-to-face.

“Who was it?” Hakyeon asks.

“Who—? It was Jihun-manager, he’s the venue coordinator for this event.”

“You didn’t have his number saved,” Hongbin notes.

“Yeah, we’d only corresponded by email before today.” You frown around at everyone. “What’s the matter?”

Slowly their stances relax, as though some unknown threat has disappeared. Leo’s still eyeing your phone with mistrust, both Hakyeon and Ken are pouting, and Ravi’s rolling his shoulders just a bit, but nobody seems interested in explaining why they’re so het up.

Then you hear Hyuk’s grumble as he slinks back to stacking boxes: “You shouldn’t answer numbers you don’t know, noona.”

…Ohhhh dear. 

Are they back to the giving-out-your-business-card thing?

You decide the best way to not test that theory is to get the boys cleaning up as swiftly and efficiently as possible. By quarter to nine, all the boxes are stacked and you’ve gathered all the leftover junk into three ginormous garbage bags. You send Jihun-manager a text to let him know you’re done with the room, then distribute the boxes and bags among the members and head out to the parking garage.

As you’re all waiting for the elevator, your phone rings again.

Everyone turns to look at you.

Warily, you back away from them, keeping your phone screen tucked toward you. “I’ll take this call, you guys go ahead, okay?” You motion to the arriving elevator car.

Nobody moves.

Whatever. With a huff, you turn your back and answer the call. “Hello?”

“Hi, is this… Y/N?”

“Yes, that’s me. How can I help you?”

“Er, you work with Vixx, right?”

“Yes, I do.” You glance over your shoulder and nearly leap out of your skin: all six of them are right there behind you, straining around their various boxes and bags to listen in.

“Ah, well, I don’t know if you remember, but I was at today’s event and you gave me your card.”

“Ah, did I?” You turn and make shooing motions at the boys. It doesn’t do anything, of course; instead, they just crowd closer until you’re basically up against the wall, surrounded by men and boxes.

“Yes. And… well, I’m interested in learning more about what you do. Your industry, you know. I hope this isn’t inappropriate, but could we chat sometime about your job, and your career, and how you got to where you are now?”

You smile. “Yes, that’s totally fine. Why don’t you send me an email? I’ll check my calendar when I’m back in the office and book us some time.”

“Oh, thank you! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.” The person is genuinely excited, you can tell.

“No problem. Just send me an email, okay?”

“I will! Thank you, Y/N-ssi.”

“You’re welcome! Bye now.”

You hang up, and immediately are bombarded by questions.

“Who was that?”

“Why are you meeting with them?”

“Why are they calling so late at night?”

“It was one of those men you gave your card to, right?!”

“Okay, first of all,” you say loudly, “it was a woman.”

That shuts them up, and you smile with satisfaction at the sudden silence. 

“Second, it was a networking call. She just wanted to learn about my job. Nothing even close to a booty call.” You give Hyuk a slanted glance. “I’m good at what I do, and that includes networking, got it?”

“Got it,” Hyuk says, a little sullenly.

“You still shouldn’t answer unknown numbers, noona,” Ravi frets.

Ken gasps a little and looks to Hakyeon. “What if it was just an excuse? Do we have to start guarding Y/N-ah from women too?”

As horror spreads over Hakyeon’s face, you sigh. “No more of this, please, let’s just go home already. Taekwoon-ah, can you press the button?” Because of course the elevator’s long-gone.

Not a minute passes before your phone rings again.

There’s almost an audible cracking noise as everyone’s head snaps around.

“Don’t even start,” you say to them warningly, before answering the call. “Hello?”

“Hello, is this Y/N?” It’s a male voice. 

Ravi’s apparently standing close enough to hear, because he sucks in his breath and informs the others in a whisper: “It’s a guy.”

You ignore their intensifying stares. “Yes, that’s me, can I help you?”

“Well, uh, we met today at the Vixx event, and you gave me your card, and I was actually wondering… I’m sorry if this is a bit straightforward, but do you have a boyfriend?”

Your eyes nearly pop out of your head.

Ravi’s staring at you so hard he’s going cross-eyed. In a tense, hushed tone, he asks, “Did he just say… boy… friend…?”

Instantly, you feel the other five go on red alert, stares like lasers.

Ping. The elevator doors part once more.

In a split second, you make your decision. You plunge down the gauntlet of Vixx members, dive into the elevator car and frantically reach for the close button. If you can just get yourself two minutes away from your boyfriends, a two-minute elevator ride so they can calm down and become more rational and realize that you’re not going to say yes to a random person who asked if you had a boyfriend—

SLAM. Leo whacks the closing doors apart with his arm, eyes fixed on you, gaze stormy.

You gulp. “Uh.”

Then he’s pushed into the car by the rest of the boys, who are all now shouting and fighting to get near you.

“Who was that?!”

“Boyfriend??”

“He actually asked if you had a boyfriend?”

“What did you say?!”

“That was totally a booty call, noona!!”

“BOYFRIEND???”

With a sigh, you give up and let yourself be engulfed by six wailing men.

Teaser under the cut (0.6k)

A woman all in black walked purposefully into the old warehouse. Several men and a few women were working busily in the large space, barely looking up at the click of her heels.

The door to the private rooms built into the warehouse swung open with the slight squeak of a hinge needing oil.

Gold eyes scanned over its occupants.

“Where’s Hyunjin?”

“He’s restocking the medical room since he got his new supplies,” answered a man with vermilion hair, stretching from his slump over a computer.

“Thanks, Chan.”

A tall man with long black hair popped out of a side room. “You called, Boss?”

The woman nodded shortly, clapping her hands for attention. “You all know that since Park Wonshik died, Bangtan’s been targeted. Well, the head of Bangtan had a brilliant idea to partner with the Grays, business-level and gang-level, through marriage.

“The head of Gray’s daughter is marrying Park Jimin on Saturday. The other mafia will find out tomorrow. With Bangtan and Gray united, the mafia looking to take over Bangtan may set their sights on smaller game, so we need to be prepared for any backlash against us.

“Minho, you figure out if the others are planning to attack anyone. Hyunjin, find out how much Bangtan has on Stray Kids. Everyone else, get ready for an attack, worst-case scenario.”

“Yes, ma’am!” saluted the eight men in unison. They turned to their tasks, leaving Chan to approach the woman.

“Vix, you sure about this?”

Vixen’s blood-red lips curved in a smile. “Don’t worry, Channie. I have everything under control and I have plans for every variable, just like oppa taught me.”

Chan sighed. “Alright, then. I trust you, Vix.”

“Boss, here’s the file on Shin Ara you wanted.”

“Thanks, Hoseok.”

Jimin took the file and flipped through it.

Good grades, though they slipped the year her mother Aeri died; friendly but only had a handful of close friends- four girls she met in college, four of her father’s employees, and one ex-boyfriend, Lee Minho, whom she was still friendly with. Graduated high school and college with honours, has an arts degree in photography, and had recently purchased a building on the edge of downtown Seoul for a gallery.

Who are you, Shin Ara? Why did you so readily agree to marry a stranger?

Jimin mulled over the possibilities, staring at her picture on the screen before him.

Another knock on the door roused him. “Sir, it’s time for your suit fitting.”

“...You may kiss the bride,” announced Seokjin.

Jimin carefully lifted the veil over Ara’s reddish-brown hair, careful not to mess up her hairdo, and met her eyes with a smile he hoped wasn’t too eager.

Her eyes locked on his, a hint of a smile in their mahogany depths. He smiled back, placing his hand on her cheek, his thumb cupping her jaw. The steady beat of her heart pounded under his thumb as he dipped her slightly, the crowd cheering in celebration.

With a wink at her surprised glance, he swept his thumb over her lips, pressing his own to his thumb.

Seokjin gave him a minuscule nod that he caught out of the corner of his eye. No one else appeared to have caught the faux-kiss, thankfully.

Jimin really didn’t want to have to explain to his teasing brothers that the big, bad mafia boss didn’t want to scare his new bride away.

Sihyeon straightened the train of Ara’s Alexander Wang dress and handed her the bouquet of pink ranunculus. Jimin extended his arm, Ara looped hers through his, and they swept down the aisle.

Jungok caught his eye on the way by, “Don’t forget your promise,” he mouthed.

The promise, in Jimin’s copy of the contract– Jungok’s only stipulation.

Do not let Ara find out that you or I are in the mafia.

Falling in Love

Ravi x Reader

Requested by Queennie

Warning: Smut

  You saw Wonshik at a party, he was the handsome guy everyone wanted for the night, but he obviously didn’t care. He just drank and danced. He was a really good dancer, that’s the first thing you noticed about him.

You didn’t even know he was an idol. A friend of yours told you the next day. You thought all of your chances were gone with the wind. You got interested and dug yourself deeper into music and you started to like his and his band’s music more and more. And as you realized just how many people was his fans you knew that there was no way an idol like him would look at you let alone date you.

How wrong you were.

Wonshik went on a tour and he needed a new stylist. You applied for the job at first as a joke, but when you actually got the job you were shocked. You still didn’t think you’d have a chance with him. You did your job to the best of your abilities. Since he mostly performed shirtless all he needed was a jacket and some jewelry besides some nice shoes and jeans. But you really enjoyed seeing him all dressed up and ready for a concert.

As it turned out, he was a very nice person who made you laugh a lot of times. But what surprised you the most is that he began to flirt with you. And eventually he asked you on a date.

It was the last show of his tour. You were in the middle of dressing him up and retouching his clothing when he suddenly asked you. At first you thought he was joking, but no, he was serious.

And now there you were.

Five months into dating Kim Wonshik, or how you preferred to call him, Wonnie. He was an amazing boyfriend, caring and a real gentleman. He took you on dates and treated you well.

And today, he took you to meet his dog, Butt. The adorable cream Frenchie ran to you as soon as you stepped into Wonnie’s home.  

You obviously started petting and playing with the dog. He was just too cute.

Wonshik couldn’t really hide the fact that he was jealous. You payed more attention to Butt than you did to him, and soon he got fed up with it.

“Y/N? Should I order some food?” Wonshik got the chance to finally get you away from Butt as the puppy when to sleep.  By the mention of food you went to your boyfriend who was sitting on his couch, phone in hand to order.

“I have another idea.” you said, but before he could ask further questions, you kissed him on the lips with such passion, he never felt before. You knew Wonshik was a rather shy man with the ladies, despite his attitude and style in music. And maybe that is why he was so soft with you. You knew that deep down he could be a beast and a tender person. He has a switch.

A switch which can turn him from merciless rapper to an absolute cutie. And you loved it. You loved the duality of Wonshik. Because one moment he was kissing your lips with care and kindness and the next, you couldn’t really breathe as he got more and more into it.

You felt him remove your shirt. You let him and after he did he kissed your neck and collarbone. 

Now both of you were out of your clothes, with you still on his lap. You were still kissing each other like insane. You mouth started to hurt a little. You still rolled your hips against his member. You were about to take matters into your own hands when he stopped you and pulled back from the kiss. He looked at you with eyes full of lust and love.

“Let’s go to the bedroom, Y/N. I can’t let our first time be on the couch.”

You nodded and stood up. Wonshik was about to collect his clothes but the way you swayed your hips as you walked made him stop and his eyes followed you. You looked back at him giving him a smirk.

He looked so damn perfect. Standing in the middle of your house, naked, with him hard member begging for you to be touched as lights of the TV illuminated him.

You turned back and started to walk upstairs. You knew Wonshik was following close. You could feel him.

And just as you entered the master bedroom, he had you pinned to the wall and attacked your neck.

You ran your hand up and down his muscular back. When he was done with the hickey on your neck, he moved you to the bed and he laid you back.

“You are gorgeous.” he said it, more to himself than to you. You could only smile at his cuteness.

“Come here. It’s getting cold without you.” you said. He laid in between your legs, both of his arms next to your head and he kissed you once again and he pulled back.

“Do you have a condom?”

“No.” you said and he looked a little annoyed. “But I’m on the pill. And I know for sure that I’m clean.”

“I’m clean too.” he said quickly. Without thinking, as a raw instinct, he opened your legs and he was just about to put himself in you when his mind came back to reality. “Sorry. I…I didn’t want to rush it …just….You just look so sexy and I can’t help myself.” you pulled him closer by his neck.

“It’s okay. You can put it in. I’m ready.” you said. But Wonshik wasn’t quite satisfied with that.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” you said and he still wasn’t sure.

“But…Are you…really sure?”

“Yes, Wonnie. I am.” you laughed a little.

“But A-“

“Oh for the love of God. Kim Wonshik put that penis in me, or I will take matters into my own hands and ride you until you can’t breathe.” you said a little bit harsher than you intended but the fact that you were so horny didn’t help. He looked at you, mouth open, for a few minutes.

He didn’t say anything else just pushed himself into you.

You let out a sigh as he let out a groan. Slowly, he started to move. Soon his moves got more intense and quick.

You moaned loudly as his moves picked up once again.

“You make me feel so incredibly good.” you said as his eyes deepened.

So he has a praising kink, good to know. You made a mental note of that.

“Tight. fuck.” he swore.

“You’re soo good baby. Fuck me harder.” and he did. He leant down next to you. You felt his breath on your neck. You hugged his body and moved your legs around his waist, giving him a better angle.

Soon both of you got closer to your climaxes.

“Wonnie…”

“Me too.” he simply said, knowing what you meant and hugged you closer to himself.

And just like that, both of you came at the same time. You ran your nails down his back, leaving marks. Just as he did, you marked him as well.

After all, from now on, he was yours. And you were his.

Wonshik slid out of you and off of you. He was trying to even his breathing and so were you.

Moments later you were cuddling to his side as his hand ran up and down your back. You slid your hand over to his other hand and you ran your fingers along his arm, up and down, your fingers traced his tattoos ever so gently.

You placed a kiss to his chest.

You couldn’t be happier that you fell in love with him.

As he was stroking your back, you fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
