( 十一月 ). ──kangmin was there to remind you life is still beautiful 유강민 &fem!rea. ⟡ drabble, hurt-comfort warn. kiss, angst, ment. of mental health wc : 800HUN 노트 for ves i love our man

Safety was a concept that you’d grown unfamiliar with over the years. You missed being naive before the utility bills, the unstable worklife of a capilatistic society and withering friendships in it’s wake. You missed being able to see the people you used to call friends consistently, before the wave of bustling streets and days that went by too quickly came and swallowed you up. You used to think time wasn’t moving, but now all you could think about was how it was moving too fast; One to ten to thirteen to sixteen to eighteen to twenty and beyond. Too much, too fast. It gave you the spins.

Uncertainty was all you knew now, when you used to be so sure of yourself. Everything was always planned. You pride yourself on being prepared for every outcome, but even if you were on the right path, you could still get hit if you stopped moving. Now, however, through the mirror looking back at you, was a stranger who used to be so bright and full of life—Not synthetic green grass against a gray sky. It’s like you were a hollow shell, only able to feel when it was someone else doing the job for you. 

You were out of touch. You’d never felt so out of reach before. Disconnected from what used to give you joy—Who used to give you joy. 

Your whole world felt like you were on a nice beach somewhere warm looking at a bomb going off in the distance. Hopeless and helpless through the chaos, running through quicksand, tripping, and being swallowed by the following tsunami with eyes wide open. Frozen. Motionless. Overdosing on the adrenaline of fear.

But there was one place where all the screaming and carnage subsided…One place where you could take off all your armor and dance around like no one was watching hard enough to judge. Where you weren’t under the microscope to point out every flaw you had, but to count how many beauty marks were on your face, and trace the smile lines that made you human. The crease between your eyebrows reminded you of where you’ve been, and the gentle press of lips over it made you realize where you wanted to end up. 

Safety wasn’t something you could resite, and being uncomfortable was a familiar feeling, but it all subsided wrapped up in your boyfriend’s arms. With him. Yoo Kangmin. The light of your messy life. 

Nothing mattered when it was just the two of you. 

Nothing mattered like it did when the sun was up, birds chirping on your windowsill. Nothing mattered like the coffee in your cup and the piles of notes you were too tired to organize the night before. Nothing mattered because at the end of the day, it should’ve been the little things. 

He was the clean corner of your depression room, the canned food that never went bad, the hands that covered your ears when the noise was too much. He was the certainty you could feel despite being numb. 

With him you weren’t scared to close your eyes. You could talk sunrise to sunset and not regret a word you’d said. Love was the strongest drug you never had to buy. And the easiest one you could get addicted to. 

His fingers threaded through the ends of your hair as you leaned back to his side, “What’s on your mind?”

“Honestly,” You started, silencing yourself in his everlasting presence, “you make everything okay.” 

He guffawed at your confession, “Really?” 

“Yeah,” You replied, “Thank you.” 

He pressed his lips to the top of your head, lingering long after he’d pulled back. “You make it all worth it, y/n. All the small, irrelevant things don’t seem like it when I’m with you.” 

You turned, lifting your head from off his shoulder. His eyes were so sincere it made you draw a blank. He was comfort within a person, the man designed down to a T for you. You never thought you’d get it, and now you’ll spend your whole life being grateful. 

“I love you a lot, Kangmin.” 

A grin spread across his face, yours mirroring it in an instant. “I love you more, stupid.” 

You rolled your eyes as he took your cheeks within his palms, pulling you down to him. Face to face. Your heart picked up a steady rhythm—One you hoped harmonized with his—Until he finally pressed his lips to yours, fitting almost too perfectly; In your life, mind, soul. 

You pulled back momentarily, “For the record, I’m not the stupid one…stupid.” He laughed in response, wrapping his arms around you as you got comfortable against his chest again. 

You were uncertain about most things, It’s true, but one thing was for sure, you saw him in your fate.

“Shh, it’s me. I promise it’s me,” Kangmin’s voice came out hushed, breaking slightly from the stress. You breathed a sigh of relief, blinking back the tears of fear that had formed when you first saw his silhouette as you lowered your gun. Sinking to the floor, you finally let yourself relax, having exhausted both mind and body in the last few hours.

The situation you were in was mentally draining to say the least. Having Kangmin’s doppelgänger on the loose had you both questioning what was real. You hated having to threaten Kangmin every time, having no choice but to point your gun at him, willing to pull the trigger in a split second unless he convinced you he wasn’t the fake. 

He said it was for your safety and that he didn’t mind. But it terrified you. Would you even be able to pull the trigger if needed? What if you misjudged and hurt him accidentally? When it was Kangmin’s face you were staring at, you didn’t trust yourself to ever be able to attack him. Kangmin would never hurt you. The thought of hurting him was unbearable. 

But his doppelgänger was ruthless, and so unlike the man he took the form of. He would shoot either of you without deliberation. You both knew the risks. Sticking together was the only way to be sure you knew who you were with. So, whenever Kangmin had to leave your side, you became paranoid. 

Kangmin shuffled towards you, crouching down to the floor next to you, back resting against the wall. You let your head fall to his shoulder, breathing in his scent that only made your mind sure that it was undeniably your Kangmin.

No matter how good his dopplegänger was at mirroring his face, mannerisms, vocal inflections, and body language, it was never perfect. One of the hardest things to replicate was Kangmin’s natural scent. You’d been close enough to him before to always recognize the pristinely clean scent that made you uneasy. Like highly concentrated chemicals, abnormally untainted. It wasn’t natural, and neither was the body that accompanied it. You would always prefer Kangmin’s musky scent, minty breath, or sweaty body over it. 

“Have you eaten? What about water?” Kangmin asked, looking over your figure with worry. You shook your head.

“I have no appetite.” 

Kangmin could sympathize with the sentiment. He, too, forgot to take care of himself unless he knew you were safe. His stomach twisted, and he felt anxious all of a sudden. Since being kidnapped back at the abandoned house, he always felt like there were eyes on him. Screens, cameras, mirrors; any place they could hide behind. He glanced around the room, fingers reaching for the gun on the floor slowly. You weren’t alone.

Searing gunshots echoed through the empty room, startling you. Kangmin braced your head, shielding you from seeing anything that was going on. A few more shots from the gun in his hand resulted in settling silence. Kangmin’s breath was ragged and uneven, close to your ear. Your head fixed against his chest allowed you to hear his heartbeat, racing faster than ever. You kept as quiet as you could until Kangmin relaxed, breathing evening out and heartbeat calming down.

“I got him. He’s dead.” 

You opened your eyes slowly, gulping at the sight of the lifeless body on the floor, blood splattered across his chest where Kangmin had shot. His face distorted, no longer resembling that of Kangmin. 

“It’s over?” 

Kangmin nodded. “It’s over.” 

The next hour was spent gathering your things from the makeshift base, getting ready to return home. You organized everything, giving your brain time to process that you no longer had to spend every moment on guard, in fear. You no longer had to carry a gun around everywhere you went. You no longer had to worry about Kangmin’s safety, or be prepared to treat any unexpected injuries either of you may have gotten. 

It still felt unreal. The dangerous situation, stalking, being watched, running, hiding, all in hopes they wouldn’t find you or Kangmin had been going on for years. Some months were better than others. But now, in the blink of an eye, it was finally over. You accepted the reality too quickly. Your hope overshadowed the lingering doubt in the back of your mind. 

You failed to notice the doppelgänger’s body still twitching, or the dripping wound on Kangmin’s arm from a hot bullet, searing right through him.

Nowhere Else | Kangmin x Reader

Summary || Your boyfriend takes you on a date to a place you've always wanted to go.

Word count || 2k

Kangmin only wanted the best for you. Being his first partner, he didn't want to mess up. However, he had no clue on what couples do. They make it look so easy on TV. And he must've looked especially pitiful, for Dongheon noticed his sulking and nudged his shoulder. "Something on your mind?" he asked. 

"Mm?" Kangmin absentmindedly ran his finger along the rim of his glass. "Oh, well, it's (y/n)."

"Troubles already?" Dongheon laughed. "You've only been dating for, what, a month?"

The young man's shoulders sank, "Yeah... and I don't even know if I'm doing it right." He honestly wasn't sure if his worrying was a good or bad thing. Is it normal to worry this much?

His friend's words pulled him back, "Do they seem happy?"

Kangmin lifted his head up, brow furrowed. "Huh? Oh, I... I think so? I hope so," he answered. Dongheon shook his head in return. "Have you even taken them out on a date?"

The other was taken aback by his sudden question. "Wh... What? Of course I have!" He then awkwardly scratched his cheek, "We went out to eat like... last week-?" His voice rose a pitch. 

"Kangmin!" his friend exclaimed. "I meant an actual date. Not just taking them out to lunches or dinners--" Except Kangmin quickly interrupted him, "Didn't you take your partner out to lunch yesterday?"

"This isn't about me!" He protested. Then, he sighed, "It doesn't have to be somewhere real fancy. Something simple, even better if it matches their interests." Kangmin tilted his head to indicate he wanted to hear more. Dongheon couldn't hide that little smile from growing; he loved knowing his advice will actually be heard. "For example," he continued, "my partner loves movies, so we often go to the theater, then we find somewhere to wind down and talk about it." Almost too quickly, the man lost the plot and began to gush over his partner. Luckily, Kangmin tuned him out so he could think.

Somewhere that matches (y/n)'s interests, huh... He suddenly recalled a past conversation with you, one where you were sitting on the floor and endlessly scrolling on your phone--

Kangmin was laying on the couch behind you as he caught up on something he was reading. Except he started to feel his eyelids become heavy. In the middle of a yawn, you gasped then mumbled, "I want to go," He forced an eye back open to see what you were talking about. "Mm? Oh, there? I heard they just opened a new exhibit." he spoke softly.

"Mhm," you responded, "I've been wanting to go there for a while though. Just once."

Another yawn from him. "Maybe we'll go someday..." His eyes closed again; he heard shuffling as you quickly replied, "Really? You mean it?" Except he heard nothing more as he quickly fell asleep.

He held his head with a hand. How long ago was this conversation? Oh man, he felt like a complete jerk for stringing you along like this! It's decided, then. He whipped out his phone to swiftly search up the name of the place and buy tickets. 

Dongheon seemed to finally notice and paused in his rambling. "Figured it out?" 

Kangmin nodded and gave him a smile. "Yep! Thanks, Dongheon!"

"Of course!" the other beamed, "What kind of big brother figure would I be if I didn't have good advice?"

"So, is the big brother going to pay for the drinks?"

The two of them turned their heads to Yeonho behind the bar, who held a mildly annoyed expression. "You two been sitting here, taking up space for the past 2 hours. And all you ordered was lemonade. At least leave a good tip." he huffed. 

Kangmin was quick to point at his "big brother," "He invited me here."

Dongheon couldn't even argue. He sighed in defeat. "Fine..."

***

Within hours, you found yourself outside with an excited Kangmin hovering his hands over your eyes. "What?" You couldn't help but laugh lightly at his giggling. He blew up your phone to ask if you were home, and when you said you were, he arrived at such speed. He told you that you were going out; the sudden news almost overwhelmed you, but he looked so eager to go; you had no choice but to entertain him.

"Can I look now?" You asked with a playful huff. 

"Mhm!" He finally pulled his hands away. You squinted from the light of the setting sun hitting you, but once adjusted, you noticed the most important word - aquarium.

You stared at the building with your mouth slightly agape. There's no way he... Did he actually...? You felt a small lump forming in your throat, but you shoved it down, for everyone's sake. "We're really going?" You questioned in a soft voice. 

His brow furrowed. "Of course we're going! See?" He pulled out his phone to show the e-tickets. "Sorry for it being last minute, but..."

"No! No, it's okay." You took a deep breath. "Let's go." He smiled at you in return and offered his hand, which you slowly took. You had always wanted to go to an aquarium. You've seen so many videos online and heard people's stories, but for one reason or another, you never had the chance to go through one yourself. And, honestly, you had not expected Kangmin to have paid so much attention. You mentioned it mostly in passing... Was he really that attentive?

You tried not to think about it too much. For if you do, well... you frankly really don't want to cry in front of people, let alone him. 

You could only stare in amazement as he happily pulled you along. There were smaller exhibits that contained a variety of fish and pond creatures. It was hard to suppress the wide smile from spreading across your face. Although, Kangmin did have to quickly usher you away from the frogs at one point. You're not the biggest fan of them -

The further you traveled through the aquarium, the darker the colors became. It was a bit unnerving, honestly, so you stayed close to Kangmin. Meanwhile, he was reading off the information on his phone. "Ohh, so it's getting darker because we're going deeper into the ocean. Cool! We-" he paused upon noticing your behavior. "Hey," he stopped his walking to turn to you. He tilted his head to try and meet your gaze. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just... got nervous, is all." You begin to chew on your nail. "Also, is this a bad time to say I have, like, a deadly fear of sharks?" The words rolled out rapidly, so you were unsure if he even understood. Silence lingered for a few moments until he let out a quick chuckle. "No, it's not a bad time at all! Although..." he awkwardly scratched his cheek, "having a fear of sharks is kinda ironic..."

"Right?" You laughed anxiously. "But yeah. We haven't seen sharks yet, so I'm kinda getting-"

"Scared?" He answered for you. All you could do was nod. 

"Aw, don't be scared," he kept his smile. "Look, the sharks can't hurt you. They're behind a glass, and you can always use my hand to cover your eyes if it's too much, okay?" He raised a hand and silently asked for permission to touch your face. You gave him a nod, allowing him to rest it against your cheek. "This is supposed to be fun," he muttered to you, "but if it gets too overwhelming, don't be afraid to let me know. I want your comfort to come first."

It took everything within you not to cry right then and there. Despite only being together for less than a month, he's acting as if the two of you have been together for years. He's too sweet... You shake your head to stop even a single tear from escaping. "Okay, I'm ready." You told him. 

He retained his warm smile and kept a gentle hold on your hand as he tugged you into the next exhibit. The area was not as dark as you had expected it to be. You had kept your eyes forward, footsteps echoing as you walked. However, out of the corner of your eyes, you spotted a wide tank that took up most of the current area. Your blood suddenly ran cold, and you sharply turned your body away. 

"Ah, there're the sharks," Kangmin sighed. "Come on, I can guide you thro-"

"N...No, I want to see them." You surprised yourself at the words spilling out of your mouth. You continued, "It's like you said, they're just behind a glass. They can't... They can't hurt me." You silently curse to yourself at your voice trembling. Kangmin squeezed your hand. "If you're sure, then... we can just stand right here, okay? We don't have to get any closer."

"Look," You stiffened slightly at his hand covering your eyes, "I'll turn you around," he explained, "And you can peek through my fingers. I'm right here with you,"

You took a deep breath then sighed. Your eyes were glued shut as he slowly shifted the two of you into position. You rubbed sweaty palms against your clothes as you kept repeating to yourself - they can't hurt you, they're behind a glass, they can't hurt you-

Kangmin is right here.

You almost jumped as the thought shot through your mind. But it's true; he's being incredibly patient with you and trying to sort things out. The least you can do is try...

"Okay," you slowly peek an eye open. The shark swam into view. At first, you shut your eyes again, but you repeated your little mantra as you regained the bravery to peek once more. The second time wasn't as bad - you managed to keep your eyes open for more than 10 seconds before shutting them again. 

As you prepared to do it a third time, you felt Kangmin's hand shift. You panicked for a second, thinking he was removing your shield, but then you shuddered feeling his whispers tickle your ear, "You're doing great, (y/n)."

If you weren't in such a precarious situation, you would've pulled away at lightning speed. You were stuck between feeling flustered and absolutely scared shitless. You weren't sure now if you were trembling from the sharks, or from feeling the warmth of his body barely pressing against your back. Hah, you even had the thought to not open your eyes ever again, if only just to stay in this exact moment a bit longer.

Eventually, your eyes open again for a third time. Through the gaps between his fingers, you watched the shark peacefully wade through the water. Other, smaller fishes tailed under it, going in endless circles. The longer you stared, the more your heart began to relax. 

Just as you were adjusting, Kangmin started to pull his hands away. Instinctively, you grabbed hold of them to keep them over your eyes. He chuckled softly. "Okay, the fear's not totally gone, but hey, it's a start!" He turned you around so you had your back to the tank before removing his hands. "I'm really proud of you," he squeezed your hands. "And I think we've had enough for today-"

You silently nodded, starting to feel exhaustion wash over you. He could only laugh quietly to himself as he guided you back out. But not before making a stop at the gift shop. You furrow your brow as he told you to wait outside, but you obliged. 

It didn't take him that long to return with a brown bag. A bag that he selfishly kept to himself until you both made it back to your place. "What's in the bag?" You asked for the 10th time.

"Geez, we barely made it in!" He laughed at your slight glare. "Okay, okay, here-" He finally handed it to you. "A reward for today."

"Reward?" You echoed curiously but otherwise took it. From within, you pull out something soft - an adorable plush of an orca. You gasped softly and wrapped your arms around it, hugging it tight. "This is so cute...! Thank you..." Your smile grew wider as he pressed a quick kiss against your head. 

Honestly, what did you do to deserve someone like him?

FLUSTERED

genre. fluff. highschool au. warnings. kangmin is whipped and in love he's so loser coded lil baby :( and he gets extremely shy. mention that reader wears lip gloss. pairing. kangmin x fem!reader. wc. 523. request. no. a/n. totally didn't write this just for @heavenfilm to see her die noooo def not 🤷‍♀️ i would never do smth like that 🧐 enjoy ur loser kangmin <333

Kangmin was quite sure his heart had just fallen out of his chest as he stood on the sidewalk, shoes glued to the pavement, mouth open ajar in shock. He had been walking you home after the soccer team practice ended which was already a hard enough task. Whenever he was around you, especially alone, his heart would thump rapidly in his chest and his breath would hitch just from the close contact. His massive crush on you did him no favours— he was a complete and under mess as soon as you so much as glanced at him.

He had tried to work on it, maybe even gather enough courage to confess his feelings to you with the help of Dongheon and Gyehyeon. But their advice made no sense, and they always seemed to contradict each other. Dongheon swore that he had to just take the shot and ask you out immediately, while Gyehyeon was convinced that he needed to drop subtle hints otherwise you would feel that it was too sudden.

In the end, Kangmin wasn’t able to do either.

He felt like such a loser, unable to even form words if you looked at him for too long. God forbid you smiled at him; he needed a good 10 minutes to recover from that. He was so incredibly whipped for you that he didn’t even mind the constant teasing from his friends about how lovesick he was. It was the truth, after all.

Everything had been going smoothly, and Kangmin was even proud of himself for being able to hold a smooth conversation with you on the walk home. Your laughter and smiles still made butterflies swarm in his stomach, but he didn’t let them distract him too much. He was confident that maybe he was even building up the courage to ask you out. That was, until you turned onto your street.

It was the last thing Kangmin could have ever expected— that instead of saying goodbye and going into your house like normal, you decided to bid him farewell in a different way.

A kiss. To his cheek.

You disappeared behind your front door before Kangmin even had time to process what had happened. The only thing his brain could do was replay what had just happened again and again. You turned around, smiled, and he was so sure you were about to say goodbye like usual, but instead you were stepping closer to him and going up on your tip-toes. And then your lips reached his cheek.

Your soft lips on his cheek.

If any of Kangmin’s friends saw him right now, they would be able to tease him for the rest of his life from just how red his face was. He tentatively touched his cheek right where you had kissed, as if to see if it had really happened or if he was just dreaming. It definitely was real, because he could feel the slight stain of your lip gloss; and that made it 100 times worse.

Kangmin was pretty sure it would take a little longer than just 10 minutes to recover from this.
