“I should have brought a hat.”

An airy chuckle sounded within the male’s chest as he brought a hand his forehead. His battle with the sunlight had provided you with a heavenly visual, one that had your heart racing wildly. How had you never noticed how long his lashes were? Or the crinkles that formed at the corner of his eyes whenever he smiled a bit too widely?

Oh right, because you usually only admired from afar.

“We’re almost there, Chan.” An apologetic smile was presented up to him, though he was quick to shake his head, dismissing the apology underlying your expression.

“No no. Don’t look at me like that. I’m glad we got lost.” The sincerity laced into his voice only increased your guilt.

Yeonjun did say you would get lost, and you really hated when he was right.

But the additional ten minutes you added to your journey by suggesting a faulty detour provided you with an opportunity to think.

There were over a dozen reasons why Chan was better suited to be the object of your affections. One, his keen sense of direction balanced out your malfunctioning internal compass that often got you lost. Two, his kindness knew no bounds – he never failed to help someone in need. That was how he wounded up befriending the charismatic Wooyoung.

And third, he was a normal college boy.

Not an idol who would leave before summer even began.

“They are so going to make fun of me.” Your words were exhaled with an exaggerated sigh, and if you were not too busy engaging in a staring contest with the ground, you would have noticed the soft expression that was being thrown in your direction.

“How about we do this. You go in first, and I’ll come in after. I’ll tell them I got lost.” In an effort to cheer you up, the taller male swung an arm around your shoulder before providing a squeeze.

And the second his body was pressed against yours, your heart jumped into your throat.

Administering a cough to dismantle the clog in your throat, you placed an arm around his waist in response, trying not to think and react to its size.

“Pfft. Like they would believe that. Let’s just go in together.” You had coached yourself to remain calm and collected, and it seemed to have worked.

But you couldn’t help but wonder… If anyone saw the two of you right now – would they mistake you for a couple? What would Wooyoung think?

The thought of a flustered San had a mischievous grin pushing at the corners of your mouth, but you were prompt to contain it by sinking your teeth into your bottom lip.

“Sounds like a plan.” It was only when the sound of his laughter reached your ears did your attention steer back to the man beside you.

How was it even possible that you were thinking about him – that stupid cute naive idol – when you had your crush right beside you?

As if you could expel the thoughts with a head jerk, you motioned your head to the side once roughly.

Stupid y/n! stupid, stupid, stupid!

“Are you malfunctioning, dummy?”

This time the one regarding you was your best friend himself. Yeonjun was positioned against the entrance to the performance room with Wooyoung. You presumed the pair came outside to welcome you when they heard your footsteps down the hall.

“Are you okay, y/n?” Unlike Yeonjun, Chan seemed genuinely concerned for your well-being. And truthfully, you were concerned too.

But concern morphed into excitement as your gaze secured with Wooyoung’s. His eyes communicated understanding, and then amusement. It was as though he was encouraging your antics.

“I’m fine, Chan. I think. Maybe it’s the hunger. You know what they say. You’re not yourself when you’re hungry!” It was a mediocre save, but the group unanimously elected to let it slide.

“That’s great news then. Since I ordered some food for everyone. It should be here any minute.” Wooyoung announced his present with a devilish glint shimmering in his irises. Not that anyone else but you noticed that.

“Thanks man!”

To your surprise, while Chan loosened his grip around you, he did not completely let you go. Instead, he nudged you forward, indicating he planned on entering the room with you as well. “Let’s head inside, y/n?”

Despite the confusion bubbling inside of your stomach, you gave him a nod. Yeonjun tossed a curious expression in your general direction, noting your millisecond of hesitation.

“Yeah, let’s go inside. I hope Mr. Player wasn’t cheap with lunch.”

“Wooyoungie - ”

The words that were meant to follow failed to vocalize as San took in the chaotic scene ahead of him. When Wooyoung had called him earlier with a request to deliver lunch, he adamantly refused. Throughout the day the idol struggled with keeping his eyelids from fluttering shut. After your conversation had ended, the butterflies inside his stomach were restless. Allowing himself to indulge in romance – it was thrilling. Unfortunately for San, by the time practice began, the adrenaline once pumping in his veins had drained. And the stiffness present in his movements was easily noticed by the others, earning him a lecture from both Hongjoong and Jongho.

So, when Wooyoung had petitioned for him to assume the role of a delivery worker, he was not interested. But the second youngest of the group knew exactly how to convince the older boy. Frankly, he did not even mention that you would be there. Instead, he pitched that if San were to have any chance with you, he would need to bond with your best friends. Funny enough – it worked, because San did not expect to see you. And he certainly did not expect to see you holding Wooyoung in a chokehold.

Blowing air into his cheeks, San toyed with the plastic bags within his grasp, unsure what to say or do. The safe move was to remain at the entrance until someone in the room acknowledged him.

“Sannie!” Wooyoung wailed out his friend’s name before resuming his deafening laughter. “Save me!”

“Not happening.” You mumbled, proceeding to ruffle the male’s hair.

“Sorry about that.” Yeonjun proceeded closer to San, with Chan trailing close behind him. “We’ll set this up while you… you can deal with that, yeah?” The half smile accompanying his suggestion silently communicated ‘help us please, because y/n is enough but then you gave us wooyoung?’

Yes, it turned out that the pair were quite something.

San did not want to feel self conscious, but there you were, effortlessly breathtaking even when wrestling without mercy. And it was hard not to note how sophisticated your supposed crush Chan appeared in his cardigan.

How would he look in your eyes? The matching sweatsuit he adorned did not do much to highlight his features, but at least he seemed… comfortable?

“You take your friend, and I’ll take mine.” Suddenly, Beomgyu was stood beside the idol with a calculating expression claiming his features. “Deal?” He curled his fingers into a fist before raising it towards San.

“Yeah. Deal.” A low chuckle vibrated inside of San’s throat as he tapped Beomgyu’s fist with his own.

But right as the pair began approaching, you released your hold on Wooyoung then brushed away the stray strands that were covering your vision, nonchalantly. The idol, on the other hand, remained in a crouched position with a mixture between a whine and laugh erupting from within him.

“Touch me, gyu and I will bite.” A small growl was packaged with your threat, but your friend only snickered in return. Naturally your attention then shifted to the individual beside him, and that was when your heart did a leap.

“Hi.”

“Hey.”

When you greeted San in what you would describe as a “distant” manner, Wooyoung shot his head up, abandoning his theatrics.

“Took you long enough! Y/n was going to eat me because she was so hangry.” The teasing tone that Wooyoung used indicated that he was planning on using his latest discovery at a later time. That meant you were safe… for now.

“Nah. If she was going to eat someone it would be - ” Contrary to Wooyoung’s plan, Beomgyu was about to expose you prematurely, prompting Wooyoung to break into a high pitched scream.

“AHHHH. FOOD! Let’s go get the food!” Shooting up from the couch, Wooyoung grabbed at San before tugging him towards the table.

When you were the only one remaining on the couch, a groan fell from your lips as you shoved your face into your palm.

“Someone kill me.”

***

Maintaining a conversation with a group such as yours was simple enough and add in someone as comedic as Wooyoung – well, silence will never come. You chose to keep your input to a minimum, munching away happily at the food that was bought. The little squeals of joy that emitted when you took each bite were largely drown out by the noise. But there was no masking the pure pleasure that washed over your features with every bite. And San unwillingly found himself watching you across the table with admiration.

“Wait! I need to understand something.” Wooyoung lifted himself from the chair then placed his palms against the table loudly in an effort to draw the groups attention. “What is the heartbreakers club and how do I join it?”

“Whaat? Yeonjunie. You told him about that?” Ji-eun placed a hand over her chest dramatically, feigning hurt.

“Heartbreakers club…?” San echoed, puzzlement bringing his brows together.

It was evident that Yeonjun regretted mentioning the name to Wooyoung, since the second it was mentioned, he began rubbing his forehead with a sigh.

Answering on his behalf was not ideal, but it was your ex-boyfriend who was responsible for its inception.

“Sorry, no idols allowed, woo.” Adjusting your posture, you crossed your arms over your chest protectively. Just how much information would satisfy the hungry wolf? “And as for the heartbreakers club, well it was what my ex called us when I broke things off.”

The answer satisfied Chan, who nodded once in understanding. He wasn’t one to pry into the details. But Wooyoung could not contain his curiosity, a fact noticed by your friends as well.

Beomgyu was the next person to fill in the blanks.

“What did he say exactly again? Oh yeah. ‘That’s what you guys do, huh. You sick fucks are like a cult. The fucking heartbreakers club.’” Beomgyu imitated your ex with a fervour that had almost everyone breaking into laughter. Emphasis on almost.

“Oh, were you okay though?” The inquiry came from a wide-eyed San, somehow the humour of the situation did not register with him. Instead, he was worried that the interaction may have left you with a bitter taste in your mouth. Beside him, Wooyoung tilted his head with an incredulous stare. He knew that his friend could be soft but … really? He was that soft?

“I was fine, San. I can handle some nasty comments.” In order to convey your genuineness, you allowed your eyes to lock for a few seconds. You couldn’t help but wonder why he cared this much about someone he met recently?

Perhaps some people were just cursed with an overly loving heart.

Yeah. That must be it.

“Okay.” San mumbled softly, bowing his head awkwardly. The sudden shift of attention had him retreating into his imaginary shell. And thankfully the others were perceptive enough to lessen his discomfort. Chan was the first person to attempt to lighten the mood.

“Y/n is really cool, huh? If anyone bothers me, I’m coming to you, okay?” As Chan grinned cheekily at you, it was impossible not to break into a smile.

“Who in their right mind would bother you, Chan?” Yeonjun scoffed out, sinking lower in his chair comfortably.

“You know how it goes. A lot of people think badly of me.” The blonde boy confessed, scratching at the back of his neck. “But there are always two sides to a story!”

“That is right!” Wooyoung asserted, waving a finger in the air. “People judge too much.”

Yeonjun tried not to appear physically tense upon hearing his friends, and there was no way he would interject that he did know both sides, at least when it came to Chan. While a loyal friend, Chan struggled with maintaining a romantic relationship, often losing interest once he learned more about his partner. It was as though the more knowledge he acquired about each person, the more his interest would deflate. While you were certainly one filled with surprises and could keep Chan on his toes, Yeonjun didn’t want to risk your heart on it.

The internal debate that your best friend accidentally became engaged in was quite obvious to you from the troubled expression threatening to display on his visage.

“Okay okay, enough with the drama guys! This is supposed to be a practice. So, how about we hear some music, hm?” Thankfully damage control was one of your specialties. For your group of friends, you had to learn to casually swing conversations and defuse situations before they became dangerous. Consider it a prerequisite to being in the heartbreakers club.

Across the table Yeonjun sat up with a clap, secretly thankful for your diversion.

“Yeah, okay. Gyu, let’s play the song inspired by our group.”

***

The following fifteen minutes consisted of scattered conversations. Yeonjun and Beomgyu engaged in vocal warm ups led by the overly enthusiastic Wooyoung. Chan, on the other hand, offered to help Ji-eun with the wiring of the microphones. As though heaven was on San’s side, he was the only person not assigned a task. Even you were told to message the missing members to determine when they would be arriving.

The idea of Wooyoung meeting the three remaining members had sent an artificial shiver down your spine. If they thought you two were a bad pair, what would they think once the mischievous Kai arrived?

“Are you cold?” San scooted a little closer to you with his eyebrows raised.

This entire time you were trying to ignore the fact you two were separated from the group, and the fact he was sat on the couch almost directly beside you. Because if you thought too much about it, you were sure to experience cardiac arrest. But of course, your theatrics had caused his interest to peak.

“I’m not. I was just thinking about what will happen if the others get here before you guys leave.”

“Oh. Yeah… We’ll have to leave soon. Or Hongjoon will come kill us.” Slouching against the back cushion, a pout settled on his lips.

And despite the numerous warnings you issued to yourself, you could not help but scan his face for any notable details. After eating, the colour painted on his lips had faded substantially. There was a hint of makeup around his eyes too, but even that was smudged.

Why anyone with his features even needed makeup was beyond you. But what caught your attention was the way exhaustion weighed on his eyelids. Instinctively you craned your neck to obtain a better visual of his face.

“What are you doing?” San blinked at you, his warm irises following your strange movements.

“You’re tired, aren’t you?” Answering his question with your own, you crossed your legs over the couch then patted your lap. “Come here, take a nap.”

Why were you doing this? Well, there was no logical explanation. It was just that a piece of your heart squished in anguish at his exhausted state. Maybe you weren’t a cold-hearted bitch after all.

San could not trust his senses right now – were both his eyes and ears deceiving him? Was this a side-effect to his lack of sleep?

“Really?”

“Oh, come on. Just lay down before I change my mind. I’ll wake you up when Wooyoung is done.” Rather than appear flustered, you rolled your eyes then averted your stare. Your goal was to appear affectionate and cold. Not a duo many people could pull off.

But San found your behaviour to be oddly adorable, some of his members also struggled with demonstrating affection. So, adjusting to others was not new to him.

“Okay, thank you.” He slowly stretched himself out, an action that resembled a cat right before taking a nap. After taking one final glance at your face, he hesitantly placing his head against your thighs. The action seemed to have stirred awake the flood of butterflies in his stomach, but the sensation was not painful. Instead, he felt eerily calm. As though he was always meant to be close to you.

What was strange was that you shared a similar sentiment. It was the opposite of what you experienced with Chan. How could someone you barely knew feel like… home?

A comfortable silence settled over you two as San allowed his eyelids to flutter shut. Seconds later, his heart hiked up straight to his throat as you began twirling strands of his hair with your fingers.

Was this really the right course of action – didn’t you say you weren’t going to break his heart?

haikyuu x otome: masterlist | prologue

» synopsis: a haikyuu x reader au where you, the player, are bound for university in a metropolis several hours away from home. hope and excitement are replaced with dread as you come to realize that juggling life as a student and a part-time employee takes a toll. from demanding classes to a ruthless manager, life just can’t seem to give you a break. that is, until you meet a certain someone who reminds you how to live and follow your dreams. somehow, when you’re with them, time stands still. maybe things are finally starting to look up. if only you could stay in those moments for just a little longer.

» disclaimer: i do not own haikyuu or any of the pixels in this post (i simply made collages out of them)

edit: it’s been brought to my attention that another HQ writer may have written something similar to this idea in the past and I was unaware. Though I haven’t seen this particular type of thing written yet, I don’t mean to claim this event idea as my own bc I feel a lot of events that ppl put up may have some overlapping themes n such (tho this idea would def be more specific and be cause for concern of plagiarism) and bc I would never want to steal ideas/not ask other writers first/not credit other writers (that’s not cool fam). If you have any issues with this event, pls bring them up w me, and if you know any other writers who’ve done smth similar, pls share w me their URLs! thank u for ur understanding :) I hope u can still enjoy haikyuu x otome :’)

» how to play:

I. you can refer here for the general rules of my blog. also, for this event (and it’ll say in the descriptions below), i’m only accepting one character per request. also the word count limits i wrote here may change as im getting started on actually writing requests lol

II. essentially a collection of x reader one-shots, drabbles, and smaus in which you are a busy college student whose only break seems to be spending time with friends who actually get you or the 15-minute lunch break during which you get to ignore annoying customers

III. since this is otome-inspired, i have several options you can choose from. these options are essentially types of requests:

» everyday is a new start

» drabble about how you meet the character of your choice

» it is not guaranteed y’all are gonna gel (get along) when you first meet,, warning: if the character is usually a bitch, i may write them as one LMAO jkjk but fr

» usually light, fluffy, and/or silly

» hmm tbh,,, idk word count,,, probs anywhere between 700-1k words (i edited this word count after writing my first thing bc HNNN)

» the only characters you can’t request this for is yamaguchi, tsukki n hinata,,, bc you meet them in the prologue AHAHA sry it’s nothing too spaicy since it’s just in the intro

» it’s all in the little things

» one-shots about normal, daily interactions with the character of your choice

» in other words, these include what can go on in a day in the life of y/n and the character of your choice (after they’ve already met). in the city, the possibilities are endless

» give me a word (or several, cuz writing is hard lmao. also legit any word, like ‘orange’ or ‘nostalgia.’ i may choose only one or do a combination from your list :3) as a prompt and ill somehow make something of it lmao

» medium relationship development + exp

» 700-1.5k words

» hmmm what should i get today?

» very short drabble with a character of your choice about various scenarios and thots i have in my head

» a complete surprise, totally random, may have no context

» may be serious, fluff, crack, etc.

» if u choose this u basically told me ‘surprise me’

» 100-300 words, depends on my mood

» when i see your name pop up on the screen, i can’t help but smile

» short smau with a character of your choice

» fluff or crack, ur choice or leave that up to me (if unspecified, ill just flip a coin)

» you can either give me a word(s) as a guide or leave the topic of convo up to me

» 2-4 panels

» you’d be surprised how much can happen in a day

» BMO has nothing to do with this, i just found a cute pixel of him

» spaicy relationship development, the scenes in which you actually make progress in the game

» one-shot with a character of your choice

» order from the following:

» macaron: when they realize they’ve fallen for you

» banana bread: when you realize you’ve fallen for them

» iced americano: when they feel a tinge of jealousy

» hot chocolate: when they see you crying

» matcha latte: when they have a longing to be around you

» cupcake: love confession (may be intentional or accidental)

» major relationship development + exp + sometimes confusion

» 1-2k words

» these will probs take me longer

» all good things must come to an end

» not as angsty as those bolded words above sound,,, unless you want it to be >:)

» drabble or one-shot with a character of your choice. the final interaction before finishing the game

» you have three options: good end (fluffy, romantic & the like), bad end (angst), or crack end (surprise)

» word count will be super variable, from 300-1.5k words

IV. this forces me to write one-shots, drabbles, anything but hc’s, and also forces me to limit my word count. that said, this will take me a hot minute, y’all. word counts may change too bc i am,,, indecisive n untalented AHAHA

V. search for ‘haikyuu x otome,’ ‘haikyuu x otome special,’ ‘haikyuu x reader otome’ tags! i will tag each work under these c:

got it? have a request for me? send me an ask or submission!

request example: ‘start new game with akaashi’ or ‘love challenge with yachi in the empty lecture hall at night’ or ‘continue story with noya. words: tired, mangoes, music’

feel free to ask me if ur confused about anything and have questions! thank you so much for reading <3 im excited for this heh

inspired by recent haikyuu otome teasers i keep seeing online and the fact that i dropped my summer class and am taking on personal projects (like painting my room LMAO i gotta manifest my inner buff daddee ushi to move shit in my room bc i kid u not everything is rlly heavy in here. and i also delved back into otomes on my phone,, does anyone else play midnight cinderella or mr love LOL talk 2 me)

↱ SPIDERSENSE ↲

pairing ; none lol

genre ; informational fic....kinda

content warning ; this is about road safety !! a teenager will be portrayed crossing the road dangerously but that is all.

word count ; 961

authors note ; hellooo, this is a bit different from what i usually post but i wanted to atleast get something out while i finish writing chapter one for the midnight espresso smau so i thought to just post this small blurb i wrote for an assignment i had to do.

i will not be tagging this as anything other than my writing tag because i don't think ?? this fic even has a targeted audience LOL - also this fic has weird pacing.

─ in one of his daily night patrols, peter saves a distracted teenager crossing the road.

New York is a busy city.

It always has been, bustling with people trying to get to point a to point b ( workers, students, anyone really. ), vehicles exceeding the speed limit and police cars chasing them, to public street acts ( Peter thinks those are cool and entertaining to watch with a side of donuts ).

NY has never been a quiet city, something's always happening there – whether it’s good or bad, big or small.

Well, if it was bad, he’d just take care of it quick and easy. He’s not spider man for no reason, he’s fought a lizard-man, a flying green goblin, and a man with metal octopus arms – Peter doubts anything can phase him now.

Other than the big incidents that happen in the city, there’s also the small ones. Like a robbery (Spiderman can take care of those quickly by how much he’s interved with them, sometimes they’ll surrender just by seeing him chase them, and sometimes he’ll talk it out with them, or the most common case : with a few kicks or punches if the robber is particularly stubborn. )

Other than that, the most common cases he usually takes care of are ones that are related to the road in one way or another. New York is known to be a pretty big city, so it's bound to have a lot of roads to get to places quickly.

As much as Peter loves the fact that the roads make it accessible for people to go anywhere, he also dreads the fact that there are far too many people driving irresponsibly on said roads. Drunk drivers, people getting distracted by going on their mobile devices, and people that just straight up ignore road safety rules like the speed limits and ignoring signs.

Those types of people are the ones that cause road accidents the most, hurting both themselves and the passengers or pedestrians on the road. Peter hates it when that happens, he hates it when an incident could’ve been avoided if the person just focused on the road.

That’s why he’s currently sat on top of a random apartment building, a bag of bagels to his side, Peter munches on them as he watches the roads closely, keeping an eye out for any incidents.

He’s been doing this for 10 minutes now, he doesn’t mind though – road watching has been added to his patrol schedule ever since the number of road accidents has spiked up uncomfortably. If he can at least help reduce the number, he’ll do it.

It doesn’t interfere with his normal schedule anyways, since Peter usually finishes classes at 3 PM and goes home to his apartment at 11 PM.

Swinging his feet as like a child whose legs are too short to reach the ground when they sit, Peter finishes his 7th bagel.

“My mouth feels dry now… I probably should’ve bought a drink too.” Peter says to himself out loud, scratching his neck uncomfortably.

After coughing several times, Peter finally decides to buy a drink to soothe his dry throat that’s been begging for him to drink something.

He wiped his hand on his legs to get rid of the sesame seeds that were stuck to his hands as he ate the bagels. Sure the suit will get dirty, but he can always toss it in the laundry. It could use a good wash anyways.

Standing up, Peter immediately shoots out webs from his wrist and swings. He keeps swinging until his eye catches a convenience store. Peter ponders on what drink he’s going to buy before his spider sense alerts him.

His focus on drinks immediately dissipates and he stops swinging and looks back.

Only to see a teenager focused on their phone, crossing the road, unaware of the incoming car headed their way. Peter’s eyes widen, it doesn’t take him even a second to turn back and swing quickly to the teenager's way.

Peter's mind goes through a thousand thoughts but he keeps himself focused on getting the teen off of the road.

The car is getting closer, the driver honking but the teenager's focus still stays glued to the device on their hand, It seems that the teen is in their own little world.

And just when the car was about to hit them, the teenager finally looked up and froze to the sight of a blurry car coming at them at a fast speed.

But before the car could even touch the teenager and send them flying back, Spiderman grabs the said teen and swings them to the side of the road before they could get hit.

The car goes past them and the teenager’s gaze follows it, out of breath, the teen tries to inhale air but ends up choking on it because they we’re panicking.

At the sound of someone breathing heavily, Pete– Spiderman, looks to his side and gasps.

“Hey– Hey! Hey, it’s okay, you’re alright, breathe, take it easy!” Spiderman says while patting the teens back.

“--! Sorry.. I.. Oh my god…” The teenager gasps.

“Nonono, it’s okay. Calm down, inhale..exhale. You’re okay, you’re alive.”

“I-” A gasp of breath, “I am so sorry, i didn’t look at the road–”

“It’s alright but be careful next time okay? It’s really dangerous to not focus on the road while crossing, please just don’t do that ever again alright?”

“Yes sir, i’ll check the roads while crossing from now.”

“Okay thats good, please put away your phone too yeah? That could’ve been really dangerous.” Spiderman exclaims. The teenager only nods.

Spiderman reaches a hand out to pat the teenagers head, “I’ll get going now. Please follow the road safety rules.”

And with that, he was gone to do what he was going to do – get a drink.

END.

i hope this was an average read atleast !! you can read this as any of the spiderman (except miles and gwen spidey)

it's 12 am now, i need to sleep. night !

matchmaker ep. 1: bonnie & clyde in action

now playing... taylor swift - cruel summer

hyunseol steps into view and smiles at the camera before speaking up. "love happens in the most unexpecting way possible. so unexpected you'll find yourself wondering how you ended up in that situation or how that event even came to be. love is never an easy concept for us to comprehend because it just happens."

karina joins the other idol and stands beside the 5'11 foot idol, leaning her head against the latter's shoulder and intertwining her hand with the latter before she smiles. "but not every question that we could think from the top of our heads need an answer because love could be the only answer why we feel the flutter in our stomach or we end up looking forward to meeting our special someone every day. it works mysteriously, but it makes sense."

the camera turns on and hyunseol's eyes comes into view, a huge smile forming on her lips while waving at the camera. "helloo. good morning, everyone~"

her manager, yongsun giggles at the sight of the idol. txt's oldest member looks like a kid being at an aquarium for the first time, eager to look at the fishes swimming inside.

"ready for your first date?"

hyunseol nods as she tears her eyes away from the camera to look at her manager, unable to keep a smile off her face. "yeah, i'm ready and excited. i just hope i won't get clumsy in front of her. my heart won't be able to move on if i did mess up in front of a beautiful woman."

"i'm sure you won't mess up." yongsun steps on the brake in front of the stoplights flashing red and turns to the idol while removing her hand from the steering wheel. she then holds the idol's face in her hand and smiles at hyunseol like a mother reassuring her child. "besides, you can just rizz her up so you won't feel embarrassed."

caption: manager yongsun is aware of seol's rizz 🫣

hyunseol chuckles and moves away from yongsun's hand, playfully grimacing. "i don't think i can even use something such as my rizz to her, unnie."

"why?"

"just... no, i won't. oh, look, we arrived." once the car stopped, hyunseol immediately hops out of the vehicle without letting her manager say anything, knowing the latter will continue to tease her.

a cameraman immediately catches her arrival and the idol subtly nods at the staff as a greeting. she then walks in the café, the agreed place for the date and the bells by the door announces her arrival inside.

meanwhile, karina snaps out of her thoughts the same time she heard the bells going off and looks up from her fingers, her heart jumping into her throat. the tall idol stops walking as their eyes meet for a few minutes before they share a warm smile with karina's shoulders relaxing and hyunseol chuckling as her eyes disappear from her cheeks.

caption: they? are? so? cute? is it bad if i call them my parents? 🥹🥹

once hyunseol arrives in front of the booth karina is seated, she immediately smiles at karina with undeniable shyness present in her voice. "hi."

"hello." karina then snaps out of her trance and licks her lips, looking up at hyunseol with an infectious smile. "please take a seat."

"i hope i didn't make you wait." hyunseol gulps as she sits across the sm idol and hangs her head low.

karina immediately shakes her head, her thighs accidentally moving the table that startled both of them before she blushed and placed her hands on the surface, taking a mental note not to move the table. "n-no, you actually didn't make me wait. i just arrived after you, so there's no need to apologize."

"oh... okay." the idols look away as they both blush with awkwardness rising in the air.

caption: they're so awkward with one another and it makes me smile for some reason

the idols keep looking around the café, hyper aware of the uncomfortable silence in both of them. they have no idea how to start a conversation, falling to their thoughts until a voice snaps them back to reality.

hyunseol blinks as she then turns and sees a man in a white polo with a name tag in front of their table. bobby, the nametag reads.

caption: they're so gay, your honor.

"oh, uhm, h-hi. sorry, what did you say?" hyunseol looks up at the waiter with a apologetic look.

"it's okay, miss." the waiter smiles. "may i ask what you two will have from the menu?"

suddenly, the producer comes into view and talks to the waiter before the clip goes fast forward, showing hyunseol shaking her head disapprovingly and clicking her tongue while karina shakes her head with a sigh.

caption: what's happened?? who made my parents upset?

hyunseol then watches the producer walk away, the latter heading to the manager office before she leans closer to karina and lowers her voice into a whisper, her eyes on the lookout for the producer.

"hey."

"hey, what's up?", karina whispers back as she also looks around, her heartbeat going to overdrive at hyunseol's sudden action.

"i think this date will not go well." hyunseol sighs. "what do you think?"

"i have no hopes for this, to be honest. unless..." the 5'11 foot idol turns her attention to the sm idol, waiting for the latter to finish her sentence before karina meets hyunseol's awaiting eyes and blushes while looking away when a devilish thought flashes in her mind.

karina moves away and the bighit idol looks at her with curiosity before clearing her throat. "as i was saying, i have no hopes for this date, unless we go out and do a real date ourselves."

hyunseol raises a brow as she smirks, looking over karina. "perhaps are you suggesting that we ditch the production team here and film our own date?

"because if you did", the txt member whispers, still smirking at the sm idol. "then i'm totally on-board with the idea, you rebel."

karina shrugs while pouting. "but i don't know how we would pull that off. i'm only the thinker, not the doer in these types of mischief. normally, i would just chicken out of this."

hyunseol smirks even wider, chuckling in a low voice. "good thing i'm your date, then. we're the perfect pair since you're the thinker and i'm the doer. we're gonna be like bonnie and clyde, but the less evil version."

"how are we less evil than those two when we're planning to ditch them here?" karina looks at the bighit idol with a raised brow with a hint of teasing in her voice.

hyunseol holds up two fingers while saying, "first of all, we aren't committing any kind of robbery anywhere as far as i know. second, we're a good team... although i admit now that i did pick a bad duo."

the tall idol scratches her nape and looks away, awkwardly chuckling. "okay, fine. that was—"

"that was kinda cute", karina interrupts the bighit idol and smiles at hyunseol who looked at her in disbelief. "you know, thinking of a duo name for us doing some mischief although you did choose a bad name."

hyunseol grows silent while trying not to smile and hangs her low to hide the smile she couldn't seem to resist doing from the camera.

caption: is— is she smiling? and blushing? from karina?! i mean, i would too if karina called me cute, but still?!

karina giggles at the reaction she received while looking away and feels blood rushing to her cheeks, knowing she just made the oh hyunseol of txt speechless. the legendary smooth talker among 4th gen idols.

caption: kudos for the production team in getting these two together. they just made me feel more single than ever, sigh.

hyunseol clears her throat and looks to the manager's office, noticing that the producer hasn't come back yet before turning her attention on karina. "should we do it now? gong pd-nim might come back sooner or later."

karina points to the camera strapped into a small tripod, looking at the taller idol. "we only have one camera. do you think it will be enough to film our date?"

hyunseol shakes her head, frowning. "no, we need one more and—" her eyes then widen in realization and looks at karina with a knowing smile. "wait, i think i saw one when i came in the café earlier. hang on, wait for me here."

karina nods and watches as hyunseol immediately looks around the place before she hops out of their booth and dashes to the front door. the sm idol offers herself to be the lookout while hyunseol gets herself busy on untangling the camera that somehow gets itself on the mess with the decoration vines of the establishment.

the sm idol doesn't know why but being the lookout while hyunseol does the dirty work (it's only fair to call whatever the bighit idol is bad considering they will ditch the production team) gets her so excited and jumpy. being an artist under sm entertainment restricts her to have fun, but starring in various reality shows like this makes her feel alive.

it makes her feel human again; having emotions, feeling that adrenaline rush, that feeling when your cheeks start to hurt from smiling so much, etc. it's been a while since she felt that and feeling those feelings again with hyunseol makes it more fun, exciting, and intimate considering they are on a date.

thump-thump, thump-thump

but despite them ditching the whole production, karina will look forward to their own date and to the day ahead of them (she feels herself blushing once she realized that she will be left alone with hyunseol, the girl she somehow feels happy to be with).

"hey, are you ready?" karina snaps out of her trance and meets the bighit idol's eyes nervously. hyunseol then tilts her head when she noticed something about the latter that she couldn't quite identify. "are you okay? is this too extreme? we could stop this whole ordeal if—"

"no!" karina immediately covers her mouth with her hand when she realized she slightly raises her voice. "i-i mean, there's no need for that. it's okay and we need this time for ourselves.

"we need to do our own date without anyone else, just... us", the sm idol mutters as her hand finds the taller idol's arm, her fingers absentmindedly trailing down hyunseol's skin. the bighit idol can feel goosebumps rising on her arm and slowly feels it getting warm. their eyes meet one another as neither from the pair dares to move, silence ensuing between them for a moment.

thump-thump, thump-thump

caption: why... why am i smiling?

hyunseol blinks and clears her throat, moving away as the warmth from karina's hand leaves her arm while karina snaps out of her bubble and removes her hand after realizing what she was doing to the latter. "o-okay, w-we need to go, come on. we're all set."

once the pair gets ahold of their plan and hyunseol made sure the coast is clear with no production staffs in sight, the bighit idol signals the sm idol to follow her. the pair is running to the front door when the manager's office door opens and the producer catches them in the act, screaming while pointing at them, "hey, stop right there!"

hyunseol and karina meets each other's eyes with the biggest smirks ever known to mankind over their faces before the taller idol offers her hand to the the sm idol and the latter doesn't hesitate to hold hyunseol's hand, both of them bursting out of the café.

the cameras they're holding catches the smiles on their faces as they run out of the establishment with the cameraman and the producer on their heels. they could hear the "hey, stop!" from behind, but they ignore it as the wind meets their faces. the adrenaline rush flowing in their veins and bodies keeps them running away while not bothering to look back.

hyunseol keeps a tight grip on karina's hand and shouts through the wind as she throws the latter a look, "hey, do you trust me?!"

"i thought that was already given the moment i hold your hand and run away with you!", karina answers as she clutches the camera in her other hand, still smiling so wide.

the txt member then smiles wider and tightens her hold on her camera while shouting back, "just making sure! now, come on, follow me! i know how we can lose them!"

hyunseol turns her attention forward and karina looks at the 5'11 foot idol, her eyes focused on the huge smile plastered on the taller idol's face. the sm idol tears her eyes away from the bighit idol and looks forward, letting the latter lead her somewhere. somewhere with hyunseol.

caption: i don't know who's more happy: hyunseol or karina but what i'm sure of? they're so gay, you can see it in their eyes

the clip then gets cut to the next scene, showing the pair in an alley as they try to catch their breaths, leaning against the concrete wall.

hyunseol manages to ask with her eyes closed as she gasps for air, "are... you okay?"

"... yeah", is the only word karina to say between her breaths before turning to the tall idol. she then grabs a handkerchief from her pocket and grabs a fistful of hyunseol's clothes, gently dragging her down to her height.

"woah!"

"i'm sorry, but you have something on your face. let me just...", karina apologizes and wipes the sweat trailing down the txt member's face. hyunseol becomes stiff and remains unmoving, her eyes falling on the aespa member's face. she could swear feel the 5'6 foot idol's breath against her lips and manage to push all the accumulating thoughts out of her mind.

"there, all good."

karina then notices silence from the tall idol and tilts her head, whispering with her face subconsciously leaning closer to the latter. "are you okay?"

"y-yeah, e-everything's good."

caption: liar, everything's not exactly okay. karina just made you blush for the nth time, seol.

hyunseol clears her throat and steers her head away, more blood rushing to her cheeks as she grows aware the lacking distance between their faces. karina blinks and looks down at her hand to find it still gripping the 5'11 foot idol's mint green sweater vest before she looks up at hyunseol to see the color red decorating latter's face and ears.

the aespa member immediately lets the fabric go and steps backward, looking away flustered.

caption: them being awkward? check. gay? 10000% check.

after a few minutes of regaining their composure, hyunseol clears her throat and straightens her sweater vest while speaking up, "now that we lost them, let's start this date. shall we?"

"where should we go?"

"well, let's eat lunch first. we haven't eaten anything ever since we left the café", the txt member suggests while looking at karina. "what do you want to eat in this moment?"

"could it be anything?", the sm idol looks up at hyunseol who flashed her a smile and a wink, placing a hand on karina's shoulder.

"oh, it could be anything, princess. tteokbokki, bibimbap, kimchi, anything you want." hyunseol's smile fades for a moment and realizes something. "wait, hey."

"hm?"

"i just want to ask if you're... okay with me calling you petnames?" hyunseol waits for karina's reaction before she adds with a hint of stutter in her voice, "because i could stop using petnames to you if you are not okay with it and just settle on calling you by your name—"

"no." a pause ensues before the sm idol pushes hyunseol against the concrete wall, startling the latter. karina grabs hyunseol's chin as she looks right into the latter's widened eyes her action taking the txt member by surprise. "don't, just... just keep using the pet names. it's more than okay for you to use them. okay, baby?"

caption: baby? baby? baby?!

hyunseol hangs her head low as her heartbeats overtake her sense of hearing and if she wasn't a tomato earlier, she is now sure she's one by how she's blushing right now.

caption: hyunseol.exe just stopped working. recalibration needed.

"o-okay." karina smiles and kisses hyunseol's cheek, earning a small shriek from the tall idol. the latter's reaction makes karina's smile grow bigger before she lets the txt member's face go and intertwines her hand with the bighit idol's slightly bigger hand, the hand feeling warm in her hold.

karina looks down at their hands and tilts her head before she shakes her head and throws hyunseol a look, flashing the latter a smile. "ready to go, babe?"

hyunseol decides to nod, not trusting her voice at the moment while she avoids looking at karina with her ears still looking red.

caption: yoo jimin, the only woman who can rizz seol back

"anyways!", the bighit idol exclaims as she turns away from the sm idol, her camera unknowingly catching her taking a deep breath while fighting off a smile on her lips. "come on, let's borrow a friend's car or something to go to my friend's resto. i don't want to keep you starving, that will be the not-so-seol of me if i did."

"perhaps do you know someone we can borrow their car?"

hyunseol chuckles. "oh, baby, you're forgetting you're talking to the nation's best friend. i can borrow a car for us to use, just say anything and i'll do it blindly."

karina looks up at hyunseol with a tilt of her head, a smirk playing over her lips. "anything?"

the taller idol looks down and sees the glint present in the other idol's eyes, raising a brow at the latter. "and with that look of yours, what are you insinuating, miss yu?"

"hm...", karina hums as she leans closer to hyunseol, standing on her tiptoes to get on the taller idol's level with her arms on the latter's shoulders. the bighit idol keeps her ground while smirking as she decides not to move away, keeping her eyes trained right into the shorter idol's.

the 5'6 foot idol then turns away and moves her arms away, the sm idol's camera catching their interaction. "it's nothing, now come on, miss oh. we better get lunch."

----

"you knew her?!"

hyunseol laughs at karina's reaction upon meeting her said friend. the sm idol has her jaws hanging wide open as she blinks, her mind cannot wrap her head around the fact that taller idol has one of the the famous restaurant owners in korea for a friend.

for. a. friend.

"how?!"

caption: and what do we expect for the nation's best friend??

"i just lent her some money and her business surprisingly became successful. i don't know how, but it did." hyunseol sets her camera on the table towards her, giving her a full view of herself before helping karina with the latter's camera.

"yes, and now, seol here is the co-owner of this establishment."

the bighit idol whines and pouts as she shakes her head, looking up at her friend. "no, no, i'm not! don't say something like that! this resto has only one owner and it's you—"

"don't listen to her, karina-ssi. she is the restaurant's co-owner, but she only agreed under one condition. it is a good thing it's an easy request because i would really like to show my gratitude for her help."

unbeknownst to the camera, hyunseol sends her friend a pointed panicked look and a small shake of her head before recomposing herself when karina looked at her.

"but anyways!" the owner claps with a smile and pulls out a notepad and a pen from her back pockets. "what will you guys have for lunch?"

hyunseol then grabs the menu board from her friend's hand and examines the contents while karina leans closer to the taller idol, looking at the foods displayed that might spark her interest.

"hm...", the bighit idol hums and throws karina a look. "what food should we order?"

the sm idol turns her head and meets hyunseol's eyes before her gaze goes back to the menu board. "i don't know..."

"well, we could pick separate cuisines like i'll take the bibimbap and you'll take whatever dish you like best or something along those lines. or maybe we could share one?? i don't really know what you prefer, so i need your opinions on this." the taller idol gazes upon the board and trails a finger on the surface, making karina look at it and follow its movement before blinking when she realized what she was doing.

"what's your best-selling foods in the menu?", karina asks as she looks at the owner, laying her chin on hyunseol's shoulder.

"most of our regular customers order tteokbokki, bulgogi, japchae, and jajangmyeon."

the two idols look at one another and turn their attention back to the owner with matching smiles. "could we get all of that please?"

caption: oh, i know they are gonna eat well in this ep.

"okay, please wait for your orders." the owner immediately excuses herself while the pair bows to her before she leaves the couple alone in their table.

karina moves away and playfully smacks the bighit idol's arm. "i still cannot believe you personally know her. did you know that it took me and my group days to get a reservation here while it took you seconds?"

hyunseol shrugs while smirking. "perks of being the first investor of this place, i guess. besides, i gave her a call that we'll drop by. that's why it took me seconds to enter this place."

karina nods and turns her attention around the place before something catches her eye. hyunseol looks at the sm idol after a few minutes of silence and follows her line of sight to see the shorter idol looking at the unique design of their booth's interior that she couldn't help but to admit now holds so much memory.

"do you like the design?"

"yeah, i don't know how to describe it, but it looks good." after a few minutes without a reply, karina then looks at the taller idol to see her drawing on the table with her finger and leans closer to the latter, tucking her chin on hyunseol's shoulder. "what are you doing?"

the latter doesn't respond and continues, making karina focus on whatever hyunseol is doing to pass time. after a few seconds, she realizes that the taller idol is writing something and starts smiling after she finally understand what the bighit idol was writing before she looks at the camera and looks back at the table, her smile getting impossibly wider.

caption: what are they doing that got karina smiling??

you're so pretty, hyunseol writes on the surface as she smiles, not bothering to look at karina to know the latter's reaction. you're the prettiest girl i've ever seen.

caption: ayo, let us on the fun too. i wanna know what you guys are smiling for :((

karina finally looks up from the table, her cheeks flushed a warm pink. she stares at hyunseol's side profile for a moment before looking away. "you shouldn't say such things," she mutters softly.

hyunseol grins and reaches out to take the shorter idol's hand in her own. "i can't help it," she says softly, her voice full of admiration for the ever-so-beautiful woman. "you're just too beautiful." she brings karina's hand up to her lips and presses a gentle kiss against it.

karina blushes even more deeply, but she can't help the small smile that appears on her face. she looks into hyunseol's eyes and squeezes the latter's hand tight in hers.

"i'd tell the whole world about your beauty," the taller idol murmurs as she tucks a loose hair strand back into karina's ear with her other hand, "but i have a feeling they already knew about it."

caption: now i can see the vision why seol is part of the rizz gods of txt, but i'm still upset on what seol is writing on the table

karina's gaze lingers on hyunseol's features, taking in each one with admiration. her voice softens as she speaks her next words, “you’re not too bad yourself, you know. in fact, i think you might be the most beautiful person i’ve ever met.” she watches for the taller idol's reaction, feeling suddenly embarrassed but unable to look away.

hyunseol's jaw slightly drops and her cheeks flush pink as the compliment echoes in her ears. she opens her mouth, a faint whisper escaping from her lips, "really?" her heart races and butterflies fill her stomach while a warmth spreads through her chest.

karina nods, her eyes shining with sincerity. "really," she confirms, and leans forward to press a soft kiss to hyunseol's cheek, making the latter blush at the sudden action. "but it's not just your physical beauty, you know. it's your heart, too. the way you care for others and the passion you put into everything you do like what you did for the owner of this restaurant. that's what makes you truly beautiful."

hyunseol feels her face flush as she listens to the smaller idol's heartfelt words. her heart races in her chest and her breathing becomes shallow, as if the intensity of the moment had stolen the air from her lungs. she opens her mouth to speak but no sound comes out; it took a few moments before she could force any syllables out.

finally, she manages to whisper as her mind goes back to several memories from the past, “you’re too kind. i’m not sure i deserve all of that.”

caption: nooo, you deserve those kind and appreciative words, seol. please don't think otherwise :((

karina's face softens, and her eyes glistens with emotion as she lifts her hand to hyunseol's cheek, her fingers trailing the soft skin. her thumb slowly caresses a gentle line along the latter's cheekbone. "you deserve all of it and more," she says quietly. a wistful smile lights up her features as she looks at the taller idol who became silent. "you're an amazing person, hyunseol, and i'm so grateful that i've met you."

caption: my cheeks are hurting so much from smiling, but i'll happily go through this pain for them no matter how it already hurts

the waiter glides through the restaurant, the clinking of plates and cutlery coming from the kitchen following him like a symphony. his heart feels heavy as he approaches the couple, deeply engrossed in their conversation. he could tell they were in the midst of an intimate exchange; the look in their eyes – a deep, passionate gaze – tells him this. he pauses for a moment, regretting that he had to interrupt them before he clears his throat, making his presence known. the couple looks up, embarrassed. they know what was coming, but they didn't care. not a little bit.

the waiter smiles, but he could not help but feel a little guilty. he had seen the couple’s orders come through the kitchen window and he knew he had to deliver it. he puts on a brave face and announces, “your orders are ready.”

caption: aww, even the waiter can see their chemistry

the couple shares a look, a slight smile of understanding, before the waiter places the dishes on the table. the aroma of the food fills the air and brings the couple back to reality.

"thank you." the waiter bows and takes the trays with him before giving the couple the privacy they need.

"let's eat!" the couple then grabs the two chopsticks and both split it before they start eating, ready to satiate their hunger. a comfortable silence ensues between them as they all look at each dish on their table, their mouths filled with food.

while chewing, hyunseol throws karina a look and immediately puts her chopsticks down before she leans closer to the latter and gently cradles the sm idol's face in her other hand, karina's cheeks filled with food.

the shorter idol slightly flinches and blinks in surprise before meeting hyunseol's eyes. the latter smiles apologetically. "eyes on me, princess. you have something on your cheek. let me get it for you, hang on."

hyunseol wipes the stain which was the soybean paste from the jajangmyeon with her thumb and smiles at the other idol. "there all good." she then leans away as she licks the stain off her finger, oblivious to the stare karina is throwing before the latter snaps out of her reverie and goes back to eating with flushed cheeks.

caption: seol will never let karina breathe, i fear

----

"thanks for stopping by the resto." the couple nods as the bighit idol smiles at her friend, patting the latter three times on the back.

"you're always welcome, i'm happy to drop by, but sadly, karina and i need to go."

"of course, and oh, here is my car key." hyunseol's friend hands out a car key belonging to a car the bighit idol is familiar with and they meet each other's eyes for a moment with smiles on their faces.

"i promised to bring your car back without a scratch."

the restaurant owner nods, although she already knows that hyunseol is a great driver. "you two better stay safe, okay?"

the 5'11 foot idol salutes and playfully winks. "will do, madam! thanks for lending me your car!"

"you're welcome, and i just want to say before you go, you guys look good together." karina and hyunseol immediately throw each other a glance before looking back at the bighit idol's friend, one with a shy look and the other with a smirk. "but i bet you guys already know it. anyways, i need to go. see you guys soon again, bye!"

caption: seol's friend really said gay rights !!

"anddd... that's my friend. what do you think?"

"she's so sweet. now i know why you're friends with her." hyunseol nods and opens the passenger seat door out for karina.

"yeah, she's sweet. no wonder her business became successful. she deserved that success."

"come on in, princess", the bighit idol smirks and slightly leans against the door. "we are going to the spend the rest of the day on something. i'm not sure what it is, but i'm sure we'll figure it out."

as soon as karina enters the car, hyunseol shuts the door and rushes to the driver's seat before she hops in, her camera in hand. "are we going to use my camera or yours in the car?"

"let's use yours." after a few minutes of setting her camera up, hyunseol nods and realizes something as she turns to karina and they meet each other's eyes, receiving a raised brow from the sm idol. "yes?"

"let me just..." the bighit idol reaches for the karina's seatbelt, leaning closer to the latter. the shorter idol's camera catches the lack of distance between their faces as their eyes meet, hyunseol wiggling her eyebrows teasingly. "oh, hi there."

caption: and if i wish i was there to make them kiss, then what?

once hyunseol finally fastened the sm idol's seatbelt, she turns away with a smirk after seeing the color pink invade the latter's face and inserts the car key in the key hole, revving the engine. karina then turns her camera off as she then places the device on her lap, blushing.

"let's go."

the camera catches karina sighing in relief as she places a hand over her chest, leaning her head against the window. she looks outside the car as they pass several tall buildings and other cars in the road.

"hey."

"hm?"

"is there a place you want to go?", hyunseol asks.

several seconds in the silence before an idea stumbles in karina's mind as her body instinctively shoots up while shouting, "oh, i know where we could go!" that surprised hyunseol who lost her attention on driving being worried for the woman beside her.

the car slightly swerves on the road before hyunseol immediately gains focus in her surroundings as her hands grow a tight grip on the steering wheel and her feet expertly step on the clutch and brake to avoid having a collision with the other cars. quietness rises between the pair as they try their best not to break it knowing they almost ended up in an accident while maintaining their gaze to the road ahead of them.

"i'm sorry...", karina finally mutters under her breath after several minutes of an excruciating silence and hyunseol notices guilt laced in the shorter idol's voice. "i didn't mean to surprise you, i'm sorry."

"hey, it's okay—"

karina whines. "no, it's not. stop saying things like that. we could've died, and—!"

"but we didn't. we're still alive and breathing. that's what matters, right?", hyunseol cuts karina off with a warm tone as she keeps her eyes on the road.

the txt member is aware that it is indeed karina's fault, but the latter doesn't need to know that. she will never admit something like that to the woman beside her. no, never, over her dead body. she won't do no such thing, especially now that she sees the sm idol is beating herself up with that fact.

"but—!"

"but nothing. admit it, there's nothing to be sorry for. something like that happens, okay?"

the sm idol looks at the taller idol with narrowed eyes, crossing her arms. "you're not going to let me win this argument, are you?"

"depends", the bighit idols responds as she glances at karina with a smirk before she looks back on the road. "are you going to keep arguing with me?"

"i don't know if it'll be just a waste of time or not."

"oh, princess", hyunseol remarks with a teasing tone. "it is indeed a waste of time. when you're in a relationship with me, don't waste your time worrying about such trivial things especially when you know it's not needed. you only need to waste your loving me because you got me, i got you, and we got each other, always."

the taller idol then throws karina a look and sees the latter in a state of spacing out before turning her gaze back to the road as a hint of fear starts accumulating in her chest. "are you okay?? did i say too much? i can take everything i said back if—"

"no, it's okay. i'm fine."

"... are you sure? i didn't go overboard with my teasing, right?" karina senses a hint of guilt laced in hyunseol's voice. she doesn't know how to feel about that fact because she is doubting herself if she either sensed it or just assumed that the bighit idol is feeling guilty.

"yes, i'm sure and thank you." pause. "i'm just worried that we could've died if you weren't skilled enough for us to avoid getting into an accident. if only i didn't surprise you, then..."

karina hangs her head low as she plays with her fingers and falls to her thoughts, a pout forming on her lips.

hyunseol immediately pulls over to the side of the road and karina turns to the former, both surprised and confused about the stunt the taller idol pulled.

"what? what's wrong?"

caption: i'm asking the same thing, girl

"hey— wait, can i have consent to hold your hand first?"

caption: baby bear, you didn't ask her consent earlier, so why now? but still, when she asks for consent 😍 >>>

"uhm, sure."

"okay, thank you." hyunseol envelops her slightly bigger hands around karina's smaller one and meets the latter's eyes, hers filling up with warmth the shorter idol couldn't identify. "please stop blaming yourself about what happened. we were both unaware of what's going to happen, that's why it happened."

"but..."

"okay, let's put it like this." the txt member takes a deep breath and drops the most outrageous statement known to the aespa member that had the latter looking at her as if she had committed the dumbest thing in the world (which hyunseol did for karina). "it's my fault, not yours. my mind wasn't on alert when you—"

"but you're the one driving the car... so why should it be your fault?"

"just because." hyunseol then reaches out to tuck a loose strand over karina's ear, careful not to linger a touch on the latter's skin, particularly her face. "so if you keep blaming yourself for what happened, then might as well blame myself too."

"but it's not your fault..."

"whatever you're feeling right now is what i'm feeling whenever you say it's your fault when i told you it's okay. we could just put this situation behind us so we could move on from this and—"

knock, knock, knock

the couple jumps, startled and turns to the hyunseol's side of the car where the sound came from to see a female police officer waiting outside.

caption: uh-oh??

the pair immediately shares a look and gulps before the txt member rolls down the window and flashes the police officer a smile.

"hello there! may i ask what seems the problem we have, officer?" hyunseol's eyes slightly widen at the familiar policewoman and immediately recomposes herself, remembering that the camera in the car is recording.

the officer tilts her head and raises a brow once she saw hyunseol, but immediately goes back to professional mode when she noticed karina beside the bighit idol and a camera where a dash cam should be.

"miss oh, is there a problem here? you're aware that pulling over to the side means something's wrong, right?"

hyunseol nods, feeling a bit embarrassed. "um, yes. yes, you're right."

"but may i ask what it is?"

"uh—"

karina immediately speaks up with a nervous smile over her face as the policewoman and hyunseol turn to look at her. "sorry, ma'am, but it's my fault. i was feeling nervous about going on a date with hyunseol here, and uhm, i kind of panicked. she noticed me panicking, so she pulled over and helped me calm down. sorry if we got you worried."

the sm idol bows her head. "rest assured that i-it won't happen again."

hyunseol and the police officer share a quick look as if the idol told the latter using her eyes before they both look away. hyunseol holds karina's hand to ease the sm idol's nerves as she moves her hands on her lap and signs something without the camera catching her unusual action and raising any suspicion from karina, making the policewoman's attention fall on the moving hand.

the police officer then looks away and states, "it's okay, miss yu. thank you for telling me what had happened, i understand it now. don't worry, both of you aren't in trouble. i'll be going now, and also, miss yu."

karina nervously looks up and meets the policewoman's eyes. "y-yes?"

"you're a lucky girl to have hyunseol."

caption: it takes a matchz supporter to know another one

"uhm... t-thank you."

"you're welcome, i'll go now. good luck on your date." the bighit idol and the cop share a look with a small nod before the latter walks away as the sm idol sighs in relief, leaning against the passenger seat with her hand over her chest.

hyunseol immediately throws karina a look and turns her whole body, facing the sm idol with a worried expression over her face. "are you okay? that officer didn't scare you too much, right?"

caption: when she's worried for her future gf first than herself>>>

"n-no, but she just surprised me." the txt member sighs in relief and nods, smiling at karina who met the taller idol's eyes. "but what about you?"

hyunseol tilts her head, confused. "what about me, princess?"

"are you okay?"

the bighit idol's smile becomes wider, a bit genuine than flirty. "just seeing you okay makes me feel okay, so yes. i'm okay, rina. you don't need to ask, but i still appreciate your effort doing so. thank you."

the taller idol then boops the shorter idol's nose with her finger and gently pats the latter's head, still having a wide smile over her lips. hyunseol is moving her hand away when karina got ahold of her wrist and halted her movements. surprised, the bighit idol looks at karina and blinks in stunned silence before she asks, "yes?"

"hold my hand."

caption: when she's becoming to be bold from her future gf>>>

hyunseol jerks her head back in, clearly taken aback before a smile breaks out on her lips and her shoulders relax as she chuckles. "okay, you scared me for a bit there."

"sorry..."

"it's okay, princess, but hang on." hyunseol then revs the engine and turns to karina expectantly with a shit-eating grin on her face, holding her right hand out. "and your hand, madam."

the sm idol playfully rolls her eyes and holds the taller idol's hand, intertwining their hands together while the bighit idol's grin grows wider. "there you go, it wasn't so hard, right?"

karina shrugs as she tries not to smile. hyunseol then asks, "so where do you want to go?"

----

"hey. hey, are you okay?"

"y-yeah i-i'm good", hyunseol stutters as she tries to give karina a thumbs up and her hand trembles while her other hand has a tight grip on the metal pole, trying not to look down past the cable car.

"i don't think so. your face is getting paler than earlier", the aespa member comments as she cradles the taller idol's face in her hands, her fingers caressing the latter's cheeks. she then sees the panic in the bighit idol's eyes and grows worried. "hey, hey. deep breaths. take deep breaths for me, seol."

"b-but—"

karina holds hyunseol's face in place when the latter tried to look outside of the cable car and softly talks, "eyes on me, baby. eyes on me, don't you dare look away. are you afraid of heights?"

"y-yes, i-i'm sorry. i'm not usually like this, so a-afraid." the txt member hangs her head low.

the aespa member then lifts hyunseol's chin and looks at the latter in the eye with a warm smile tugging her lips. "hey, it's okay. no need to be ashamed of having a phobia. don't worry, okay? just hang on, we'll be at the top soon."

the bighit idol frowns and karina apologetically smiles at the former. "i'm sorry for mentioning it, but i'm here. you can lean on me for the mean time, okay?"

caption: i'd want nothing more than to see my independent girl rina caring for her gf

ding!

"okay, we're here. i got you, baby."

caption: there's already so much b bombs dropping even when they're still not together, but i'm not even complaining

"when you said you want to go here, i never expected my phobia kicking in and got myself holding onto you."

karina giggles. "there's nothing to be afraid of holding onto me, but i can see why you're so into treating me good. it makes me feel satisfied."

"of course, why do you think my love language is acts of service?"

suddenly, a bird flies by while chirping and karina immediately moves her head, burying her face against hyunseol's arm. alerted, the txt member miraculously gains strength in her body and protectively wraps an arm around the aespa member's figure as she looks around.

she then looks down to the sm idol as she whispers, her camera catching the interaction between the idols. "hey, what's wrong?"

"... birds." hyunseol then looks around and finds several birds around which makes her gulp before looking back down. "are they everywhere?"

"yeah, kinda."

"why did they just decide to come bothering us right now?", karina mutters with a hint of disdain and hyunseol hears it, but she doesn't know if the mics attached in their clothes had caught the sm idol's mumble.

the txt member worriedly asks, "do you want to get away?"

karina looks up and meets hyunseol's eyes. "but what about the entrance fee we paid for? isn't it a waste for us to pay for it and just leave without even several minutes us being on the top?"

"if you're worried about our money, i can just pay you back—"

"do you not want to be here with me? is that what you're aiming for?"

"what— no. why are you even thinking like that?"

"i have a feeling you're hinting you want to leave...", karina mumbles as she looks away with a pout.

caption: i don't know what's the drama here, but i'm curious on what seol's approach will be here

hyunseol bites her lips and sighs before answering. "look, i'm sorry if i talked as if i don't want to be here with you. that wasn't my intention and it's not also your fault for thinking that way, but please, don't force yourself to be here with me when you know you'll just be uncomfortable.

"i just don't want to end this date with you being uncomfortable. i rather waste my money than be a bad date to anyone, especially when i know and can feel you're getting uncomfortable right now."

...

karina looks up and their eyes meet while the aespa member has a small smirk over her lips. "are you always this smooth of a talker with everyone you meet?"

hyunseol jerks her head back, blinking and throws the camera a quick look, her eyes slightly widening before she looks back at karina with a nervous smile. "... kinda, why?"

the aespa member tilts her head, raising a brow. "so i'm not the only one you've charmed, huh?"

caption: oohhh, karina calling out seol's player side out 👀

"are... are you accusing me of being a player?"

"maybe."

the tall idol playfully rolls her eyes and lays her head as she slightly tightens her arm around the latter's waist, towering over karina. "don't worry about the other girls, princess. i only use this smoothness around you because believe me, you're the only one for me."

"oh, really?"

"yep, you're the only one who could take my breath and make my heart race." hyunseol winks. "now, come on. let me treat you to some ice cream."

----

"thank you for today. being with you for almost one day has been fun."

"you're welcome, always here to bring you nothing but the best, my princess. you deserved this kind of date and several good things more."

the pair had stopped in front of a few blocks away from the aespa's dorm and decided to just go on foot on the rest of to not leak the girl group's dorm address while having their hands intertwined. they are talking about the various wild activities they did (although they didn't do much) to fill the silence between them.

"although we didn't get to spend much time together", hyunseol states as she pouts. "crazy birds... and heights have to ruin our namsan tower date."

karina giggles as she sees the growing pout over the taller idol's lips and shakes her head while she looks away. "yeah, but today's date still wasn't so bad. i mean, i'm with you, so any date with you is basically a great date."

caption: *jaws drops*

hyunseol automatically halts and karina looks back with a tilt of her head as the former narrows her eyes at the latter, a small smirk over her lips. "what? why are you looking like that? is there something on my face?"

"no, just beauty. and what was that?"

"what was what?" karina furrows her eyebrows together and sends her camera a look, hoping to make her confusion known before she looks back at hyunseol.

caption: don't look at me like that, madam. i'm sorry, but you are on your own here

"'i mean, i'm with you, so any date with you is basically a great date.' really? why are we switching sides?" a quick flash of realization passes over the aespa member's face before she laughs out loud while a smile appears on the txt member's face, her eyes trained on the sm idol. "i can't believe you, yu jimin. are you learning to be a smooth talker? 'cause let me say, you're one quick learner."

"i mean...", karina trails off as she leans closer and meets the taller idol's eyes, her fingers of her free hand slowly trailing the latter's arm with a smirk. "for you? i would. i mean, i'd rather want to be a top performing student in the smooth talking department than letting you get the upper hand every time we had a date. i'm ready to learn new things if it means surprising you."

caption: i don't know if i want to be seol or karina at this moment

hyunseol chuckles as she hangs her head low. "okay, okay. stand down, lover girl. stand down. no need to be so close—"

"aw, is your heart beating up so fast right now?" karina leans her face closer to hyunseol's face who instinctively looked away, her ears going red. "aw, why are you so shy now? you weren't like this earlier, baby."

the bighit idol chokes on her saliva and pulls her hand back away from karina's, covering her face with her now freed hand as she adjusts her hold on the camera who was catching the moment of the txt's reaction.

caption: ayo, karina successfully making seol blush?!

hyunseol removes her hand from her face and the camera catches the growing scarlet color in the taller idol's face.

"hey, come back~!" karina loops her arm with the bighit idol and looks up to see the latter's face and ears in the color red. "is this what you have to see whenever you charmed other girls?"

"stop..."

"aww, but you're so cute while blushing." karina pouts and smirks wider before kissing hyunseol's cheek that earned herself a small yelp from the latter. "okay, i'll stop now."

the sm idol looks around and halts her steps, stopping the bighit idol too. "okay, this is my stop."

hyunseol nods, still recovering from the short idol's bold actions and the sm idol pouts at the silent response. "baby, please. no goodbye kiss—?"

the txt member cuts karina off by kissing the shorter idol's forehead and both cheeks in one swift motion, leaving the aespa member's mind to short circuit.

the taller idol smirks and pulls her arm away to caress karina's cheek. "you may be learning to take me off guard, but always remember that i am still and will always be the original smooth talker between us. you're not going to take my job so easily, jagiya."

caption: seol proving that no one can outrizz her

the sm idol blinks and looks up at the taller idol only to receive a wink from the latter. karina immediately looks away as her eyes look everywhere but not hyunseol's eyes, making the bighit idol chuckle. "aw, she's shy now, but okay, fine i'll stop."

hyunseol let out one chuckle before she moves her hand away and kisses the top of karina's head. "this marks as the end of our first date. it's pretty eventful although we didn't exactly have a time to enjoy the impromptu namsan tower date, but after that small competition we had a few minutes ago, ditching the whole production is worth it. right?"

karina only nods, still not over the fact that hyunseol threw her off by doing the surprising actions of giving her forehead and cheek kisses before she manages to mutter in an audible whisper. "yeah, everything was fun even though i don't know if we could count it as a full date."

"a date is date as long as we enjoyed ourselves. did you enjoy it, though?"

karina looks at hyunseol in her peripheral view before looking away immediately while trying not to remember the wordless compliments she received back in the restaurant. "if the huge smiles i gave you earlier weren't obvious, then yes. i did enjoy being with you."

"okay—"

"i enjoy it so much i want a second date."

hyunseol smirks. "oh really? if i agree to have a second date—"

karina jerks her head back and raises a brow. "agree? baby, you have nothing to say about this. we are going on a second date no matter what you say"

caption: i love me some leader-type of women 😍💞

the txt member smirks wider. "oh, not even going to let me say anything?"

"never. we are going to that second date. end of discussion."

the taller idol immediately hangs her hands up in surrender and backsteps when karina takes a few steps toward her. "okay, ma'am. we are going to that second date, i hear you."

"be careful on your way home, okay?"

hyunseol sarcastically says as she fakes gasps and a mocking tone can be heard in her voice, "when she's so sweet— ack!"

the txt member throws karina an accusatory look while trying not to laugh. "why did you pinch me?"

"you were mocking me."

hyunseol immediately pulls the sm idol into an embrace and gently places her chin on karina's head, softly humming for a few minutes before she speaks up, "okay, i'm sorry. that was not cool of me, so i'll never do that again, but yes, i'll be careful driving back to my friend's and on my way home."

"see you on the next date, okay?"

the bighit idol then nods with a smile. "rest assured that i'll be there."

"okay...", karina trails off she swiftly pulls hyunseol down by her sweater vest and lands a kiss on the latter's cheek before she runs off, hurry present in her heels.

the txt member blinks as she watches the aespa member walk away before she looks at the camera as if her eyes were asking, did you guys see that shit?

"wow." hyunseol gulps before she chuckles and stuffs her hands inside the pockets of her pants. "she really got the guts, i must say."

confusion overtakes her face when she felt something in her pocket before she gently pulls it out and sees a small piece of paper in her hand, showing it to the camera. she then unfolds it and reads what was written in it before she slowly starts smiling.

caption: why are you smiling for??? karina isn't here anymore, seol

hyunseol then looks at the camera and covers her mouth with her hand, trying not to cheer loudly. "ayo, she gave me her number!! we're going home successfully, let's go!"

hyunseol then looks at the camera with the biggest grin and bids goodbye, "i'll go home now, everyone. look out for the next episode! bye, bye!" she then proceeds to cover the camera lens as she winks.

4. pretty elevator girl (kinda half written)

"hey, kai kamal huening, get back here!"

yeonjun's loud voice booms around the first floor as he chases after the maknae who stole his bag and dashed around the area. beomgyu and taehyun join the fun, throwing the bag around while the second oldest chases after his belongings, failing to grab his stuff from the ever-energetic maknae line.

soobin sighs in exasperation as he turns away from the sight and massages his temple before he turns to the oldest, muttering. "it's too early to deal with this mess."

hyunseol chuckles with a shake of her head as she adjusts her hold on a paper bag filled with fresh takeout. "they need to let out of that energy somehow, soobin-ah. we're lucky they decided to pester yeonjun, instead of us."

"i can never understand how they're so hyper at this time."

the oldest shrugs, placing her left hand under the paper bag. "perks of being part of the maknae line, i guess." she then looks at the lobby to see the receptionist busy with her work on the company computer. "you guys can go ahead, i'll just bring this paper bag over to mrs. yoon."

soobin nods as he follows their manager to the elevator before hyunseol walks over to the lobby with a huge grin over her lips. "hello, mrs. yoon. good morning!"

the middle-aged woman looks up from her computer and returns the idol's smile, adoring the energy the big hit idol possesses. "good morning to you too, seol. considering the energy you have today, i take that you have a good night sleep?"

hyunseol could nod, her grin impossibly getting wider. mrs. yoon always comments that if the idol was a dog, her tail always would be aggressively wagging every time the 5'11 foot girl greets her. the receptionist giggles, unable to resist the cuteness of txt's oldest.

hyunseol is known for being a huge sweetheart in big hit and now that txt's company is now joined into one huge company, she is determined to meet every staff there is in hybe. it makes her look cuter than ever before in mrs. yoon's perspective.

"good morning, mrs. yoon!" hyunseol's ears perk up at the incoming voice and turns around to see a beautiful woman running up to the lobby. their eyes meet for a moment before the idol forces herself to look away as she tries her best to keep her heartbeats at bay.

the interaction doesn't go unnoticed by the receptionist's observant eyes, but decides to remain oblivious. getting in an awkward situation isn't what she wants for these two women's first impressions of each other.

smiling with a slight bow, mrs. yoon greets while noticing the 5'7 ft woman's stare on the bighit idol. "good morning, yunjin. what brings you here?"

the trainee blinks and looks at the receptionist, scratching her nape. "uhm, i was going to ask if you could help me find my practice room again, mrs. yoon."

hyunseol slowly steps away from the conversation and grabs her phone when she felt the device vibrate in her pocket.

she bites her lip and muffles a giggle, shaking her head at her members' chaotic tendencies before shoving her phone back in her pocket. she then meets mrs. yoon's eyes, takes a few steps back, and says, "i'll see you around, mrs. yoon!"

the receptionist motions the idol to come back. "wait, honey. what floor is your practice room?"

"uh, on third floor. why?" hyunseol could sense where this conversation is going. please, please, god no.

"could you escort yunjin to her practice room? she's on the same floor as yours. her room is c-225."

hyunseol shrugs and shoves her hands inside the pocket of her jacket. "that's a few doors down from ours, so i guess i could escort her there."

"y-you don't have to, i can-"

"yunjin, let her. your practice room is near hers, so it's better if you'll let this kind woman escort you. that way, i know you arrive in the practice room." the txt member notices a mischief in the way the receptionist talked and meets mrs. yoon's eyes to see the latter smirking. the idol's eyes widen with her eyebrows, wordlessly asking the middle-aged woman a question and the receptionist's smirk gets wider, making hyunseol roll her eyes.

"i guess..." yunjin thinks to herself, unable to meet the stranger's eyes. why do you like to see me suffer, mrs. yoon? especially when you know i'm gay?

"are you ready to go, yunjin-ssi?" the trainee nods, not trusting her voice to speak and walks beside the tall stranger, heading to the elevator.

the receptionist then watches the two women walk away and gently slaps herself on the cheek. "you really are evil, yoon. i can't believe you just get those two together."

the pair then enters the elevator and the idol pushes the floor 3 button, the air between them beginning to be suffocating. hyunseol decides to break the silence despite not knowing if her action will make things between them more awkward.

"hey, sorry about mrs. yoon. she tends to be so persuading sometimes."

"it's okay, it's my fault for forgetting the room number of the practice room. i still haven't get used to this huge building despite being a trainee under hybe for 2 years." yunjin gently shakes her head and slowly looks up from the ground, her nose getting a hold of a perfume smell inside the elevator.

she turns her head a bit to the tall woman's direction and looks away once she confirmed her suspicions. so the smell was coming from the tall woman. she smells like jasmine.

hyunseol turns her head and looks at the woman beside her, her eyes filling up with an explicable glint in them. "wait, you're a trainee? what's your sub-company?"

"source music."

"oh, i see." hyunseol raises a brow and throws the woman a look before nodding as the elevator doors open, revealing the third floor hallway. "it's the same company gfriend sunbae was in, right?"

"yeah. you know, i'm still bummed out that they disbanded", yunjin shares as she and the tall girl walk out of the tight canopy with the latter leading the way.

"it looks like we're on the same boat. gfriend sunbae could have a potential, but it's a shame source music didn't promote them better." the pair then arrives in front of the practice room and hyunseol turns to the trainee with a small smile, her eyes meeting the latter's.

"and here we are. looks i'll be seeing you around, yunjin-ssi. good luck on your training, have a great day."

"y-yeah, y-you too."

yunjin could only nod as the fear keeps holding her back from asking the tall girl's name. the latter bows and the trainee eagerly returns the gesture before she watches the 5'11 foot woman walk away from her, unknowingly got her heart stolen by the stranger whose name is still unknown.

----

4:00 p.m.

yunjin sits on the couch settled in the practice room, resting her body. the practicing hours have just ended and she is the only one in the room.

i lied to her. i'm not a trainee anymore. i should've told her i'm going to debut, ugh. is this why i didn't get her name?

(no, yunjin. you're too busy ogling at hyunseol.)

her members, gosh. she feels weird calling those other five girls that term. her members already left and she decided to get left behind to clear her mind about earlier's encounter with the tall beautiful woman.

she sighs with a ruffle of her hair and grabs her phone, hoping to rant her experience in her private account.

------

the photo attached in yunjin's reply:

soobin will never get a break from the chaotic mess of his members. (50/50 on hyunseol bcs he knows the oldest can be chaotic sometimes)

----

summary: txt's oldest member, oh hyunseol just want a peaceful life after pandemic with her members, but it seems like fate wants to shake things up.

21. be careful what you wish for (written)

note: i'm writing this while listening to this (its a filo song & idk what the english song could measure up to the vibe that song gives me)

warning/s: too long chapter ahead, yunjin js too detailed when it comes to seol, and usage of unofficial uno rules; no beta

"are we really going to do this, unnie?"

"yes, and besides, it's about time to shut yunjin up. so why can't we grant her wish with seol?"

two people huddle together while talking in hushed whispers, one looking around for unsuspecting passersby.

"uh, hi? may i ask what you're planning to noona?"

the pair jumps startled and turns around to see a 5'11 foot guy with a knowing glint settling in his eyes. behind him are his two members who are looking at the pair with curiosity. "please tell me you're doing what i'm thinking you're doing. if you need help, my members and i can step in."

the pair looks at one another before looking back at the tall guy. "and what are you thinking exactly?"

he tilts his head, raising a brow at chaewon and sakura. "you're going to trap those two in noona's studio, right?"

sakura asks as she raises a brow back, "how are we even going to do that without getting it opened from the inside?"

yeonjun, taehyun, and beomgyu look at each other before they share a laugh, a mischievous smirk appearing over their lips. "just do one thing and leave the rest to us."

----

"love is sour, love is sour grapes ~"

hyunseol nods, her right hand spinning a ballpoint pen with her eyes trained on the lyrics sheet and her blank expression makes the six girls nervous. "thank you, girls, but i noticed something." she then looks up from the paper, looking at yunjin. "why are you nervous, yunjin-ah?"

the tall girl blushes as she looks away, her fingers finding the hems of her shirt. "uhm, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to."

"may i ask what seems the problem? your voice really seems nervous earlier unlike what we had practiced last time, so we can address the problem." hyunseol leans against her seat and trains her eyes on the 5'8 foot girl who is still fiddling with the hem of her shirt. "yunjin-ssi?"

"i-i just want to be perfect for you, sunbaenim."

surprised, hyunseol's head jerks back with a blink. what? she said what?

the eyes of some le sserafim's members widen before turning their heads to their tallest member while chaewon and sakura keep their attention on the 5'11 foot idol, holding themselves from smirking by how taken aback hyunseol was at what had happened.

you're so stupid, yunjin! what did you say that?! 'i just want to be perfect for you', ugh! stupid stupid stupid!, yunjin mentally reprimands herself as she turns impossibly redder. hyunseol then gets flustered once what the american had said finally sinks in her mind.

"p-perfect? for me?" hyunseol repeats, sounding a bit in disbelief and clears her throat, shaking her head. "what do you mean by that, yunjin-ah?"

"w-what i mean is that, i'm nervous to mess up parts, sunbae. you're just so cool and i just don't want to mess up in front of you. it's too embarrassing."

you're such a simp, yunjin, chaewon thinks to herself as she shakes her head. good thing we'll be doing you a favor.

"please, don't call me sunbae. i would like to be called as seol unnie or unnie. not sunbae or sunbaenim because that honorifics make me feel old", the txt member addresses. "yunjin, we're on the same level. we're equal, so please don't think highly of me. i'm just seol from txt.

"and please, don't be afraid to mess up. that's why i'm here to help whenever you have any trouble. just because we're idols doesn't mean we lost our humanity. you're allowed to fail and try again and most importantly, you're allowed to have feelings, yunjin. don't let others make you think otherwise."

fuck you, hyunseol, yunjin thinks to herself as she tries to contain her raging heartbeats at bay, her ears joining the flustered fest. for raising my standards higher. fuck, god, why did you make her to be so so perfect? and my type too?

"o-okay, su— i mean, seol unnie. i'll remember your words."

the big hit idol nods and grabs her pen, smiling. "all right, let's try that again."

----

do the plan, sakura noona!

the oldest le sserafim member eyes hyunseol's phone laying on the table and remembers what yeonjun told her earlier.

"you need to grab seol noona's phone, sakura noona. seol noona has two phones, okay? one is for personal use while the other is for business use. i heard from noona that she left her business phone charging in the practice room because she rarely uses it nowadays. so, you need to take the other phone, it's the one in the black phone case and believe me when i say she keeps her eyes on that phone. you need to create a distraction for her before you grab the device, or else, she'll catch you."

le sserafim just finished practicing for their vocal practice (yunjin asked the txt member if the group could have a vocal practice doing the final recording) and now, they're ready to head to the cafeteria. chaewon and sakura share a look before their eyes fall on the unguarded phone. it's now or never.

"unnie", the bighit idol looks up from the music sheet and meets chaewon's innocent eyes. normally, hyunseol would question the behavior of the '00 liner, but she has no energy to ask.

"yes, chaewon?" the said girl then moves to shield the phone from the 23-year-old idol's sharp eyes. "do you need something?"

while chaewon talks to hyunseol, sakura immediately makes her way to the phone and grabs the device, stuffing it inside her pocket. when she looks up, she meets the eyes of her members: kazuha, eunchae, and garam. yunjin, on the other hand, is too engrossed on gathering her things to notice sakura's odd behavior, her thoughts still about txt's oldest.

sakura raises a brow at the maknae line and the trio raises their brows back, their eyes focused on the phone as if they're asking their oldest member, what are you doing?

trust me, sakura mouths and walks away when chaewon gently tapped her back, a signal to get away from the txt oldest. the leader then taps yunjin's arm, catching the latter's attention. "come on, let's go. it's time to eat."

"it's okay, unnie. i'll catch up with you guys. i just need to talk to seol unnie."

hearing that, chaewon almost cheers and scream, but she holds herself back and softly smiles at the '01 liner. "okay, we'll wait for you in the cafeteria."

she then meets sakura's eyes and smirks before gathering her members, knowing very well she and the oldest succeeded. the five out of six members walk out and are surprised to see the people outside the studio.

on the other side, yeonjun and the rest of txt members stand patiently. chaewon makes sure to close the door behind her before sakura gives hyunseol's phone to yeonjun.

huening kai, confused on what's happening asks as he crosses his arms in front of him, raising a brow at the pair. "why do you guys have seol noona's phone?"

uh-oh, yeonjun thinks to himself as he starts sweating. i didn't think ahead, fuck. we forgot to tell huening kai. shit, we're doomed.

while yeonjun starts having a mental breakdown, beomgyu immediately jumps into action, leaning against the maknae's 6'0" figure. "please, just this one, hyuka. help us trap seol noona and yunjin in the studio."

sakura starts off as she tries to support the oldest of txt's maknae line, "uh, yes, you see, yunjin likes-"

"- seol noona? we know. she isn't exactly hiding her infatuation very well." huening kai cuts le sserafim oldest, looking unimpressed.

the le sserafim members look at txt's maknae in shock, blinking. "what-?"

chaewon immediately covers eunchae's mouth before the latter could scream and asks, "how do you know?"

"we've noticed from our last vlive", taehyun answers before continuing. "and if we noticed, i'm sure seol noona did too, even before we did."

"yeah, she isn't exactly dense like she usually shows", soobin voices out.

"so...", yeonjun trails off as he looks at '02 liner hesitantly, knowing the success of their plan will depend on the maknae's decision. "are you going to help us, hyuka?"

the txt maknae looks at the phone adorned in a black phone case, thinking over the options he has before smirking.

"give me the phone."

----

"thank you again for the kind words from earlier, i guess i need to hear that. it's been a hard month for us."

the '99 liner smiles, as soft as the pillow and as warm as the rays of the first peak of sunrise. "you're welcome, i can tell that you guys start to feel the pressure. being in the industry is hard, i'll tell you that. you girls will be needing a friendly face amidst of the chaos. you're lucky because i'm willing to be in that role."

"i guess we girls lucked out when it comes to you."

"yeah, i guess so..." an awkward silence ensues as yunjin tries her best to save the conversation, but came up with nothing.

"i better go now, my members might be waiting for me."

"yeah... i hope you and your members eat well."

"you too." yunjin eyes the huge paper bag near the 23-year-old idol's work station and tears her eyes away from it. i really have no game against karina when it comes to seol. she's just confident, cool, and pretty and i'm just me. what do i even have that she doesn't? there's nothing, might as well give up.

"see you later, yunjin."

"see you later, unnie." the 5'8 foot idol bids a greeting and heads to the door. when she grabs the door and twists the handle, she blinks when she didn't hear a small click.

she takes a deep breath and decides to try again, calming herself down because if she didn't, she'll end up embarrassing herself more in front of her crush. let's not panic immediately, i must have just done something wrong.

"fuck", yunjin curses in english under her breath as the realization finally settles in. she's stuck inside with seol, the current subject of her infatuation. her hold on the door handle loosens until her arm comes back on her side. god, why now? why?!

hyunseol, on the other hand, turns her seat around when she still sensed the le sserafim member's presence in the room and tilts her head at the latter's back, the music sheet now thrown on the table with abandon.

"are you okay there, yunjin?"

"k-kinda? i-i don't know." hyunseol frowns at the reluctant response from the american before standing up from her swivel chair. when she approached the soon-to-be idol,

she notices the latter avoiding her eyes which is unlike what yunjin was earlier when they were practicing. flirty, attentive, and confident. her sudden change of behavior confuses the bighit idol even more.

what's gotten into her?, hyunseol thinks to herself and decides to grab the door handle and open it. just like when she welcomed le sserafim in her humble abode.

but except this time, it doesn't open. like she usually expects it will.

hyunseol blinks and tries again, but to no avail. surely the door is sealed shut, leaving her trapped inside with yunjin who is undoubtedly one of the pretty girls the txt member ever met in the industry.

oh fuck.

get yourself together, hyunseol. where's your phone?, her mind reproachfully speaks as she immediately springs into life and looks around the studio, her eyes desperately looking for her personal phone.

the very one sakura just stole minutes ago.

"wait, it can do that?"

"yeah, seol noona showed it to me some time ago. apparently, there are times she likes to be alone, so she often locks herself in her studio while she does songwriting. i remembered her saying that the door could lock someone in and out using her phone."

the five txt members and five le sserafim members take shelter in txt's practice room. on hyunseol's stolen phone shows a live footage of txt oldest member looking for something, but txt knows she's looking for her phone that was in huening kai's hands.

"aw, now i feel bad for unnie", chaewon voices out when she caught the distraught expression over hyunseol's face.

"me too, but it's already done, chaewon-ah."

"so that's why you asked something from seol unnie while sakura unnie stole seol unnie's phone", eunchae remarks as she looks at her leader and her fellow member in realization before she throws one piece of french fry inside her mouth, her eyes trained on the phone screen.

"yeah, that's why", chaewon comments before she takes another sip from her drink. "sakura unnie needs to grab the phone without getting seol unnie suspicious, so i stepped in."

le sserafim and txt have agreed on eating their lunch inside the latter's dance practice room to spy on their fellow members trapped in a studio. it sounds weird and creepy, but chaewon and sakura deemed it being the only way for yunjin to slowly adjust being around the txt member, knowing hyunseol having the nation's best friend persona only need several minutes to strike a conversation with yunjin.

hyunseol sighs as she sits back down on her swivel chair. she's certain now if she wasn't minutes ago. there's no way out of this room without her phone.

she then looks at yunjin who is starting to space out on the couch inside her studio before rummaging the paper bag her manager had dropped. she scowls when she saw two takeout containers inside and two sets of plastic utensils with two bottled colas on the plastic bag near it.

she mentally sighs in exasperation and rolls her eyes when she realized something. her phone is on the table earlier, but after chaewon asked her about something, it just disappeared.

is it magic? no, she strongly believes there is no way it just magically went missing before she got trapped with yunjin because she knows it's possible huening kai is an accomplice of chaewon and sakura with a few bribes being made. the maknae is the only one who knows about the studio door.

hyunseol then turns to the cctv camera she installed in her studio that overlooks the whole room and narrows her eyes while crossing her arms.

huening kai immediately drops his hold over the phone, his action catching everyone's attention. "uh-oh."

yeonjun asks, looking at the maknae, "what? what?"

the maknae meets the second oldest member's eyes and scowls, "we're doomed, noona finally realized what's happening."

hyunseol throws yunjin a glance and immediately returns her attention to the cctv camera when she saw the latter in the state of spacing out. with a disapproving shake of her head, the txt oldest member signs as she clenches her jaws, you shouldn't have done that, huening kai. chaewon and sakura, is this why you stole my phone for? to trap me and yunjin inside? you guys better sleep with an eye open tonight.

huening kai whines as he gives the phone to soobin. "you hold the phone, hyung. i cannot hold it while watching."

"what did she say?", sakura asks curiously, looking at the txt members.

"she's asking you and chaewon if trapping her and yunjin is the reason why you stole her phone, noona", yeonjun shares and gulps. "she also said that we better sleep with an open tonight."

"i don't know if i should be scared or not by how much she is glaring at us right now", chaewon mutters, her eyes trained on the idol.

"it's okay to be scared of seol noona, chaewon noona.", huening kai comments and frowns. "you're luckier than us, though. you guys don't share a dorm with her."

hyunseol then rolls her eyes and turns away from the camera, massaging her temple. getting annoyed isn't going to help. focus, seol. you're not the only one who's trapped inside. you're with yunjin, think about her. she must be starving.

"hey." the txt member's raspy voice brings yunjin out of her thoughts and they share a look for a moment before the korean smiles warmly at the american. "come on, let's eat. it'll take us centuries before we bust out of this room and believe me, there's no way we could leave the room if i don't have my phone with me."

the former opera singer tilts her head with a frown, her brows creased together. "but your phone was here moments ago."

yunjin noticed it, the device laying within the txt member's reach while she and her members have their vocal practice. it couldn't possibly just disappeared, right?

"i have a feeling on what had happened to my phone." yunjin looks at the bighit idol.

the '01 liner then stands up and helps hyunseol setting the big foldable table up. "what's happened?"

hyunseol carefully takes out the two bibimbap-filled containers with bulgogi meat draped on the side, drinks, and utensils before laying them on the table. "chaewon distracted me while sakura unnie grabbed my phone and used the chance to run away when you told your leader you'll catch up with your members in the cafeteria before trapping us inside."

the le sserafim member throws hyunseol a look. "eh? did they really steal your phone?"

"i believe so, because we wouldn't trapped right now." the txt immediately corrects herself, not wanting yunjin to misunderstand her statement. "n-not that i don't want to be with you, of course. j-just..."

"oh, hyunseol's stuttering."

"wait, what?" the txt and le sserafim members huddle together, their eyes glued on the phone screen. and there hyunseol is, stuttering and blushing like a madman.

"j-just that... it's too coincidental for us to get trapped here, right?" hyunseol succesfully plays it cool with a chuckle and a shake of her head. great quick thinking, seol.

"and besides, think about it, yunjin-ah. they wouldn't trap us here if they have no reason, right? there must be something they want to achieve for them to drag my members in this shenanigan."

there must be something they want to achieve..., yunjin lingers on the thought and her eyes widen when she remembered her tweets from the night before. fuck, chaewon unnie and sakura unnie must've seen my tweets about seol, and now i'm stuck with her. great, good job, yunjin.

"hey, you good?" the 5'8" foot idol blinks and meets hyunseol's eyes before they share a small smile and look away, blush adorning their cheeks.

"i swear to god, they're so gay for each other", sakura fake gags. "like you can see how they look shy around one another and it makes me puke."

"y-yeah, i'm good." yunjin clears her throat and looks away.

"all right, here's your utensils. let's eat, yunjin-ah." the txt member then drags her swivel chair closer to the table.

despite being awkward at first, the pair slowly adjusts in the silence and enjoy the food manager yongsun had dropped off before yunjin gasps and the bighit idol worriedly looks at the soon-to-be idol only to see the latter looking at the food in amazement.

"wow, this is so good." yunjin takes another bulgogi meat from her container and immediately sighs in delight. "where did you buy this food, unnie? it's so good."

"manager unnie bought it from a friend of mine. i'm glad you enjoyed it." hyunseol chews and adjusts herself on her seat, throwing yunjin a look and noticing something on the latter's face. "hey."

the former opera singer stops chewing and looks at the tall girl, her awaiting eyes trained on the bighit idol.

she looks like a puppy, hyunseol thinks to herself. she'd make a cute puppy.

the american's action makes the txt member giggle before the latter grabs a napkin laying discarded on the table and stands up from her chair.

"hang on, you have something on your...", hyunseol trails off as she leans closer to yunjin, her free hand holding the latter's chin in place. the soon-to-be idol's breath hitches at the close proximity of their faces, the gentle hold the tall girl has on her chin, and the concentration looming over the txt member's face.

yunjin isn't certain if she caught hyunseol's eyes darting back and forth from the mess on her jaw to her lips. on top of that, she notices the latter subconsciously licking her own lips while wiping the offending smudge on her face.

the pair then locks eyes for a moment, the humming coming from the a/c being the only sound in the room. the '99 liner's voice rings in yunjin's ear, noticing a hint of softness laced in them. "hey, you okay? you kinda... spaced out there."

"yeah... i'm good..." are the only words yunjin could say at the moment, her voice a bit slurred from the moment.

"okay, there you go. your face are all cleaned up." hyunseol subconsciously runs her thumb over the former opera singer's jaws and immediately lets go when she realized what she did, turning her face away with blush dusting her cheeks.

"uhm...", yunjin stutters with a flustered face when hyunseol finally moved away and sat back down before she looks away as her hands cover her face, immediately missing the warmth over her jaw. "t-thank you, you didn't have to. that was so embarrassing, i'm sorry you have to see me like that. i don't normally eat like that, i'm usually—"

"no, no, don't do that. it's okay, it wasn't embarrassing at all." the bighit idol giggles and waves her dismissively. "trust me, you're cute from where i'm seeing you, yunjin. there's no need to be embarrassed and besides, you're a pretty girl, yunjin. i hope you can see that."

"ahhh, seol noona!!!" the txt members loudly squeal and runs around their practice room with huening kai being the loudest while the le sserafim members sit on the couch, stunned.

"t-they are flirting, right?"

huening kai's loud voice fills the room. "yes! seol noona is flirting with yunjin noona! we told you, they only a nudge to start talking."

yeonjun and beomgyu then throw each other a look and share a knowing smirk.

"t-thank you, you're kinda pretty yourself too", yunjin mutters before immediately stuffing her mouth with food, hoping the food will ease her flustered mess.

hyunseol chuckles as she opens her drink and takes a sip. "thanks, i'm glad you found me attractive."

the le sserafim's opera singer lets out a yelp as her face turns redder than any existing red color in the world, hell even redder than the nose of rudolph the red nose reindeer.

the txt member chuckles, her eyes looking at the 5'8" foot girl. "okay, okay. i'll stop now. let's continue eating in peace."

----

"no fucking way."

chaewon and sakura have their hands over the ears of their minor members, garam and eunchae who looked at the two oldest members innocently while txt chuckles at their oldest's reaction.

hyunseol whines as she takes another two cards from the deck, her five cards in her hands becoming seven while yunjin smirks triumphantly, holding up four cards.

the pair just finished cleaning up the mess they made with their trash stacked on one corner, waiting to be fetched. now, they're playing uno with the uno cards the bighit idol always carry with her once they decided that their members won't be coming to free them sooner or later.

and now, from where yunjin is looking, hyunseol is losing at the game.

"fuck, how come you're so good at this?!", the txt oldest groans as she sighs before taking another two cards from the deck.

the txt members look at one another at their oldest member's questionable choice of words with mischievous smirks before bursting out in a laughter while sakura and chaewon facepalm with a shake of their heads, leaving le sserafim's maknae line looking at the phone screen confused.

"i'm a pro at this, unnie. my little sister could tell you that." yunjin then puts down two of her cards which is both 8 from red color before holding up her two cards. "i'm closer and closer to winning, unnie. you better catch up."

"oh, i'm gonna catch up all right." hyunseol grumbles as she places two cards down, still on the losing side.

----

"they're so gay for each other", chaewon comments as she watches hyunseol and yunjin entertain themselves with uno cards.

"what's the meaning of this?"

both members of txt and le sserafim tense up at bang si-hyuk's terror-filled voice before slowly turning around to see the producer himself with their managers, moonbyul and yongsun standing beside him guiltily. the producer looks at the two groups with raised brows and arms crossed.

"i'm sorry, guys. he asked me where hyunseol is and i tried to lie to him, but he doesn't believe me", yongsun apologizes as she meets the eyes of the txt members.

"that's okay, noona. at least you tried."

"where is hyunseol, huening kai?" si-hyuk knows that the txt maknae is aware of the door mechanics of hyunseol's studio and seeing the phone of the txt's oldest in huening kai's hold, he has a hunch on what's happening.

he also notices that yunjin is nowhere to be seen with her members and realizes what the two group did, narrowing his eyes at the phone. "did you two try to play matchmaker on them?"

"yes, pd-nim. we're sorry."

si-hyuk sighs and massages his temples. "it's okay, but you guys need to apologize to those two, not me. i'm not the one who was trapped in there. come on, let's fetch them."

----

"ha, i win! take that, yunjin. i told you from the start, i'll win."

"aww, i lost. that's too bad."

truthfully, yunjin was supposed to win, but seeing the determination burning in hyunseol's eyes make yunjin change her mind and let the tall idol win.

normally, her competitive side always aim to win every game, but her infatuation on hyunseol won over her competitiveness. with the txt member, she doesn't mind losing—no, scratch that, she will never mind losing. as long as she gets to see that wide smile appear on hyunseol's face, losing to her in will always be worth it.

although she and hyunseol only spent almost an hour inside the studio, it gave yunjin an idea as to why people adored and befriended the txt member. the perfect person to be with, why?

hyunseol is open-minded to several topics whether it may be controversial or not. she isn't quick to turn down other people's opinions, but instead, she listens attentively because she said that people's thoughts are what makes people people, giving a glimpse of what kind of person they are.

the txt member is also kind and understanding because like what happened earlier, she addressed the opera singer's thoughts about herself of not being good enough or the fear of messing up. she understood yunjin's fears and made it like it was okay to be in that state because at the end of the day, they are humans first, idols second. idols have to look out for each other in the cruel innerworkings of the industry they work in. it's natural to think like that, but they shouldn't think like that all the time.

the bighit idol is funny too because surprisingly, she has a sense of humor that align with yunjin's and share laughter at the jokes they throw each other as if they share one braincell. as if they made the inside joke together.

and at last, she is a people person. she was warm as the first peak of sunrise, easy to make friends, and an excellent listener because hyunseol makes sure to stop whatever she is doing to listen and lend her ears to the person talking. like the idol did when yunjin shared a few tidbits of her life.

if those qualities didn't make yunjin fall for hyunseol before, it surely did now. not only the 5'11" foot idol is her type, but she also became the opera singer's standard.

like people said, why settle for less when you know you deserve more, right?

"that was a good game." yunjin giggles at the bighit idol's words before she helps the latter gather the discarded cards on the couch. "although i was so sure you would win minutes ago, yunjin."

"i didn't think it through, unnie. i thought i could do a miracle in the game, but i suppose you immediately noticed my bluff and won."

"probably—" the door of the studio opens and the pair immediately gets on their feet when they saw bang si-hyuk standing on the other side.

"pd-nim", hyunseol politely regards the producer with a greeting before she sees her members and the rest of le sserafim standing behind him. she then returns her gaze on the producer. "uhm, good afternoon?"

"i was informed that you guys have been trapped in here." si-hyuk motions yongsun beside him before looking back at the idols. "we've come to fetch you. i hope you guys are okay while being trapped inside."

hyunseol and yunjin share a look while si-hyuk notices the way the pair immediately look at each other. the two idols then look back at the producer with smiles plastered over their faces. "no, pd-nim. we are okay. manager unnie managed to drop off some food in the studio before we got trapped, so..."

"we ate well and played some cards to pass time. it was good, despite getting trapped against our will", yunjin adds to hyunseol's statement, smiling at the thought of the interactions she shared with the txt member.

"okay, that's good to hear. also, hyunseol." si-hyuk nods and looks at hyunseol who flinches at the producer's gaze.

"y-yes?"

"come, i need to talk to you about something in my office." the six members of txt look at one another before the oldest looks back at the producer.

"solo schedule?"

"no, it's code oh." the five txt members look at hyunseol with wide eyes.

"c-code oh?"

"yes, now, come on."

"but the trash, pd-nim." the 5'11" foot idol motions to the neatly stacked paper bag in the room and si-hyuk looks at the five members of txt, the latter immediately realizing what the producer will say.

"your members will take care of it as their punishment of trapping you and ms. huh here. right boys?"

"yes! we'll do it!"

"it's okay, noona. we'll take care of it", huening kai states as he gently drags the oldest out of the room. "bang pd-nim needs to talk to you."

"okay, okay. i'll go." hyunseol then looks at yunjin and smiles with a slight bow. "i'll see you around, yunjin-ssi."

she then looks at the rest of le sserafim with a smile. "good luck on your debut, okay?"

"see you around, seol unnie." chaewon waves with the rest of her members.

si-hyuk then leads the txt's oldest member away from the group and yunjin's eyes follows hyunseol before the pair disappears around the corner.

"you girls really are evil." yunjin finally speaks up as she meets her fellow unnie line members before a smile breaks out on her face. "i can't believe you guys did that."

"so, yunjin noona." the former opera singer the turns her head to meet the eyes of txt's maknae. "what do you think about seol noona?"

"well..."

----

summary: txt's oldest member, oh hyunseol just want a peaceful life after pandemic with her members, but it seems like fate wants to shake things up.
