Ler!Monsam
Sort of a short fic I'm sorry
THIS IS A TICKLE FIC LEMME PUT THAT OIT THERE
A couple of days ago you came to work at Lady Sam's company as a technician. It was a nice reunion as you met your long time friend Mon and her secret lover, Khun Sam. It was a dream to work with your best friend again, since you worked at the same part time job with her during high school. It was one hard day, you stayed late in the dark fixing any software to make sure no moles leak any information. It wasn't unusual for you and Mon to stay late at work, you guys used to pull at nighters to study for tests so this wasn't too bad. Sam came out of her office, ending an hour long discussion with Kirk about business and happened to see you two working together two hours after closing time. She came to Mon, asking if she was hungry so she can order food to her house to eat. You stayed away from the conversation, not trying to be the third wheel between them.
Mon: Sure I'm hungry right now. You should spend the night y/n, it's late to take the bus home.
Y/n: I don't know...I don't want to be in the way of you and Sam spending time with each other.
Sam: I don't mind feeding another mouth. We'll leave in five minutes.
You found it weird to be in the couple's business for dinner. Well until you found out Kirk was coming to, and I'm pretty sure you came to make Kirk less suspicious. You sat in the back seat with Mon, Kirk and Sam sat in the front, Kirk was driving. Mon was unexpectedly poking your sides and armpits, the stuff she used to do years back because of how ticklish you are. You were too embarrassed to tickle her back so you just jumped in silence. When she got to your tummy you accidentally slapped her, apparently that slap was louder than the conversation Kirk and Sam were having. You got mad at Mon trying to get you to laugh but she was enjoying it with her cute smile.
Y/n: Why must you tickle me? Why can't you tickle your girlfriend?
Mon: Because I want to tickle you. I thought you like tickles.
Y/n: I do...but it's awkward because you have a girlfriend to tickle.
You only did it because Mon had recalled stories of Sam getting jealous and you didn't need to fall victim of that. Even if you missed Mon tickling the shit out of you even if you both were supposed to have tickle fights. Tonight's dinner was special as Kirk was at her home with you and Mon as well as Sam's friends. It's a big improvement as before she never lets anyone step near her house, even her so called fiance. But it was a new change and new attitude thanks to Mon helping her out. Sam ordered prawns for everyone to eat at her big ass table. Mon and Sam didn't want to sit together because of Kirk there, so you sat in between with both of them holding hands under the table on your lap. It seemed like a cute moment although you wished you didn't have to be in the middle of it. You didn't get the hint that both of them liked you and did unnecessary affection to be close to you. Kirk and Tee got along with dinner and it turns out Kirk is an ally with Tee and Yuki's relationship. Jim was about to make a joke about you third wheeling Monsam but Sam shut it down real quick.
Jim: Oh...I tease them for being a couple because...
Mon: Our aesthetic is similar to Wednesday and Enid. That's why.
Kirk: Oh...that's makes sense.
Afterwards the guests had to leave, even Kirk. Kirk offered you a ride home but Sam said she was going to do it, which seemed that Sam was jealous in your mind. Kirk left and soon you got your leftovers prepared to go home. Sam said she needed to fetch her bag in her room so you went upstairs with her. Seeing her room in real life amazed you since Mon always sends dozen of pictures of Sam's room as you like the room decor. As you looked around a pair of arms hugged you from behind, from the smell of her strawberry lipstick it was Mon. You tried to hug her away until a pair of hands went on your cheeks, Sam. Your heart was ready to combust, your high school crush and your college crush in the same room. It was weird, both of them were looking at you like you were in a spotlight. Mon took your hand so you can place it on Sam's cheek, which was awkward that you were just standing there without no hand placements.
Sam: Can I...bite your lip?
Y/n: Yes you may.
Now wasn't going to be the moment where you ask what are we. It's best to leave that as a tomorrow problem. You guys washed up before just laying in Sam's bed. You weren't in Sam's bed yet, just staring off into space while Mon and Sam gossipped about the coworkers. You didn't really know how you got here, in bed with your two crushes. Was it really fate that you moved out here and got a job after being separated by Mon? While thinking you got an uproar from Mon tickling your sides. That snapped you back from Dreamland for a few minutes so you can laugh. Sam felt a tiny jealous of the tickling moments you and Mon were sharing. Not too jealous like the one time she punched Kirk for having his hands on Mon. All she has to do to catch Mon's attention is whine a bit.
Y/n: MONMONHAHAYOUCANSTOP!!
Sam: Hey, I wanna tickle her too.
Mon: You want to tickle her? Go ahead. She's all yours.
Y/n: What?!
Sam smiles and instantly goes on tickling you. You couldn't run away, not because Mon can run after you but she could punish you at work in the morning. She kept tickling your sides as you laughed on her lap. Sam finding satisfaction in tickling you brings such happiness in Mon. Too much happiness that she'll bring in pointers to put you in tickle despair.
Mon: If you want to get her good, raspberries are a must.
Y/n: WAITWAITDONTLISTEN TO HEEHAHAHAHAHA
Personally you wish to air out Mon's ticklish spots but you'll be afraid that Sam would side to her and attack you again. Sam does multiple raspberries on your tummy, making you laugh so hard you start to wheeze. You can tell Sam enjoys it by that smile, the smile where her tongue pokes out. A few raspberry later she's tickling your neck and ears to ease out your breathing. Mon joins in too because she thinks of how this is bonding time with you and Sam. Once you were alright Mon did another surprise raspberry to get you to laugh again. Having an attractive laugh sometimes can be a curse because of moments like these. Having to be body slammed by your somehow two gfs to get tickles in.
Y/n: I PROMISEIPROMISEHAHHAHAHHA
Sam: Promise to what? I didn't say anything.
Mon and Sam did find it funny that you think you're being tickled as a punishment. You three slept in Sam's bed together, waking up in soft tickles and gentle kisses in the morning. Waking up with tummy kisses under the covers is such a dream to you. It was difficult coming into work in Sam's clothing. It's much different than your sweatshirt attire that you usually wear. You envy Mon who already had a wardrobe of clothes at Sam's house. Meanwhile Sam and Mon were working in the office, they took a short break to send stickers to you. Once you barged in, obviously annoyed by the spam of stickers you saw what this was about.
Y/n: Let me guess, you wanna tickle me?
Sam and Mon: Yes.
From the morning tickles to the tickles that happened last night you weren't too annoyed by tickles. Since it happened to be with your two favorite people. Mon and Sam were discussing new changes with Diversity Pop while you were on Sam's lap, fixing her computer. Anytime that Sam needed to think she squeezes your tummy. Even if you were trying not to laugh too hard it was impossible, especially with Sam's pointy nails. When everything was set up with Sam's new computer she still wanted you on her lap. She claims the tummy squeezes and your laughter was making her think better.
Sam: Think...think...what should we have for dinner...
Y/n: SAMSAMYOURHAHHAHHAHHAHHAA
Then out of nowhere a knock came to the door, from the knock pattern it was Kirk. Sam pushed you hard to the ground, making your back hurt from the fall. Kirk comes in, obviously confused as to why you're on the floor.
Y/n: The water was slippery, so I tripped.
He understood and came here to ask Sam for paper for the printer. Damn, that hard ass push for Kirk to ask for paper?? You got pouty when Kirk left but Mon gave you a hug to say sorry for Sam almost breaking your back. You sat on Mon's lap on the sofa Sam in the back of her office. Sam got really worried and wished to hurt Kirk for giving her a scare. She gives you a back massage, although a terrible one where it made it hurt worse than before. Sam looked guilty, which you hated because she didn't mean to push you. You gave Sam head pats, telling her your back will get better and she shouldn't get better. In your mind you knew how to end this quiet moment. More tickles (that you unfortunately have to withstand but you love your gfs)!!
Y/n: You can tickle meHEHEHEHEWATCHTHERIBS!!!!
Sam: Should we babe?
Mon: We should tickle around the ribs.

crown prince!lee heeseung x f!reader // warnings: cursing, fainting (?) part two series masterlist
a/n got inspo for this after rereading this reincarnation webtoon i used to like a lot, these reincarnation stories are lwk a guitly pleasure of mine so i was like why not write one
+ is this even considered an x reader??? like heeseung hates u oopsie lolz
anyways enjoy (hopefully)
Tumblr media
YOU WOKE UP WITH AN EPIPHANY , to give the two leads their happy ending. despite the fact that you had woken up in a stereotypical reincarnation manhwa, the author was far from stereotypical. not only did she have a strange almost concerning obsession with her two main leads, but she was also a goody-two shoes rule follower who told you that the original plot of the story and every single event must be followed and copied to perfection.
unfortunately for her, you said fuck that, had knights take her away and put her in a mansion on the outskirts of the kingdom where she wouldn't be able to reach you. so now, instead of scheming devious, nefarious acts against the female protagonist you now took advantage of your personal chef who worked relentlessly at your constant requests to try all the fancy dishes you could've never afforded in your previous life.
"the audacity!" rina, your maid suddenly exclaims, holding a letter.
"i can't believe this! my lady, this is outrageous! how can saintess sora write and send something so shameless!? " faye your second maid exclaims.
"hm?" you ask, focusing on the blueberry cheesecake in front of you, "what happened faye?"
"the saintess sent an invitation for her tea party! she wrote, 'countess i know we are not on good terms because of the crown prince, but the other ladies and i hope that you will join our humble tea party, and put aside your grudge'" you chew on the cake.
"oh, okay,"
"OKAY!?" the two scream.
"m-my lady! how does this not bother you? she is being disrespectful and using the fact that she has the crown prince's affections despite you are his soon-to-be wife!"
"oh, that's true," you shrug, "what can i do about it? if he likes her better okay then, i don't want to marry him anyways," rina collapses into faye's arms.
"my lady! rina are you--"
"with all due respect, but my lady, back then you would've done something! why the change of heart now?"
"well. . .he doesn't like me?? like it's pretty obvious, and i was just naive and uhm, craving for male validation back then or something like that i guess. it doesn't matter to me anymore,"
". . ."
"besides, his highness prince jay is more my type ,"
"MY LADY-"
"I MIGHT FAINT-"
Tumblr media
after calming down your fainting maids, you had reassured them that you would go to the tea party and give the female protagonist, saintess sora, a taste of her own medicine for the disrespect she had sown you. (you were not planning this at all)
so now here you were, a week later getting dressed for the pain-in-the-ass tea party. "my lady we will dress you up to be the most beautiful at the party!" your maids exclaim.
"that's really. . .not necessary you know? i'll wear one of the dresses i usually wear," rina starts to lecture you, before a knock interrupts. faye rushes out of the dressing area, to open the door.
"your highness!" she exclaims, bowing. you peek out from behind the dressing area and head out.
"my lady you are not ready--"
"your highness, a pleasure to have you here," you say, bowing.
"y/n," heeseung addresses coldly, "are you attending sora's tea party?"
"yes, your highness,"
"she was telling me she was worried you would reject her request, due to your dislike for her," he says, narrowing his eyes at you bitterly. you stare at him unimpressed.
"my apologies, your highness, if i offend you by saying this. however you and saintess sora seem to be mistaken,"
"my lady don't--"
"i literally don't give a shit,"
"oh dear gods," rina mutters, and she collapses.

a/n lemme know how it was 😋😋

Scholarship | BaseBall Boys Series | Lee Know
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing : Lee Know x fem!reader
genre : fluff,angst, frenemies to lover, rich boy!lee know, Lee know is rude to reader , mention of illness (no one dies)
summary : Lee Know never took a serious interest in his studies. He had the money and the connection to make it through university without actually studying. When Lee Know got paired up with y/n l/n, the top scorer as per his mother's request, the two found themselves in a conflict. How would the problem end?
rei's note : not proof read. don't mind the emoticon. if the story is bad...uh... bye— happy nmixx lily day <3 my fav gal
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
One secret that you have kept from everyone is the truth behind your entrance to the most prestigious university.
The way you acted seemed like you fit in with the rest. The rich kids. However the truth was...
You're on a scholarship contract. Top scorers for 3 consecutive years. It was no surprise to be honest. One thing on the contract that was important was that no students should ever find out you're under a scholarship.
You never understand why but all you know. If anyone finds out, you're basically done. Drop out of university.
Tumblr media
"Y/n, this is Mrs Lee, she's the lady who got you onto the scholarship program", your head mistress explained.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to further my studies", you thanked her which made her smile widely.
"It's not a problem, dear, people like you deserve to have a chance in life. After all you're a top scorer, you are meant to be in university", she told you which made your cheek heat up.
"I have a request...is it possible for you to tutor my son?, he takes the same major as you, lee minho"
The name rolled out her mouth. That boy was the most troublesome guy you ever met. He's always getting on the bad side of you, always teasing you. Barely attending class, leaving blanks on his examination papers.
His constant habit of always messing up your hair. You could never understand why and now the offer to tutor him, sounds like hell.
"oh minho, yeah I know him...", you pursed your lips.
"is 5 grand per month seems suited for you. 3 tutoring sessions per week. I mean since the finals are in 4 months...do you think you can do it?"
Your mouth gapped. It was a lot of money to just tutor one singular person. The money was enough to pay your little sister's hospital bills that have been racking up.
"I'll take it"
oh boy...you knew you were putting yourself in more problems than you need to be in.
Tumblr media
"Just tell my mom no. why would you need the money? did your parents freeze your credit card?"
Your body was slightly tense as your eyes widened. Luckily Lee know never noticed. He was oblivious to the situation.
"no...but—"
"I'm not listening to you, y/n"
Lee know shut his locker door. You rolled your eyes. It was embarrassing enough to even be in the changing room with him, who's literally shirtless. You tossed his baseball shirt at him. Gesturing him to quickly dress up. He let out a soft chuckle.
"Minho, it's only for four months. You're going to graduate soon. I'll be out of your sight before you know it"
You tried to reason with him. Lee know sighed as he put on his shirt. He didn't really care about graduating with the highest gpa, in the end, he would inherit his parents company, even if he doesn't want it. He has no choice.
"Whatever, don't expect me to attend your tutoring session on time. I'm a busy man if you can't see for yourself"
You rolled your eyes once more. Nodding your head lazily. "Fine~, we'll start tomorrow...see you". You waved goodbye. Lee know ruffled your hair as you both parted ways.
——— (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠) ———
Two month went by without an issue. Lee know is clearly trying his best to attend your tutoring session. You admire that he's willing to still attend the tutoring session despite being worn out by baseball training.
However you found something off about lee know. Weirdly enough, he seemed to be able to answer all written questions you tested him for. It seemed almost like you barely helped him since he was able to answer the questions without any problem.
Tumblr media
"What do you mean by minho has no problem with his studies?", your headmistress looked at you.
You passed her the stacks of papers of answered questions. The headmistress glanced through the papers. You indeed were telling the truth.
"That's strange..."
"That's what I'm telling you, Do you think minho might possibly be failing his test and exams on purpose?"
The headmistress scratched her head. "That seems a little far fetched y/n. You know what, how about you talk about this to minho. I can give you, his mother's contact number if you wish to speak to her directly"
You nodded your head, letting out a mumble of thanks before leaving the office.
You leaned against the seat of your chair as you watched lee know, flawlessly answers the questions you had given him. "Hey minho..."
He turned to look at you. "What's up?". You purse your lips.
"I heard you're going to take over your parents'company after graduation..."
Lee know's eye twitched. His body tensed. He scoffed as he eased. "Yeah". you only gave him a firm nod. Lee know sighed.
"Minho...are you pretending to fail to get your parents attention or something?"
Lee know's mouth gapped. He immediately looked away from you. "If I was, so what? It's not like I had any choice in my whole life"
You sighed before patting his shoulder. "I think you should talk to your parents about this. Don't be so hard on yourself". You tried to comfort him. He's shoulder sunk as he stared off in a distance. "Whatever, just mind your own business. And don't tell my mom anything".
Obviously you never listened. You felt bad if you were to keep this a secret. The amount of money that his mother is paying is not worth the amount of help you're offering to him, if he could do his work on his own.
Tumblr media
"WHAT THE HELL! Y/N! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?"
Your locker door was slammed shut. His voice echoed off the empty hallway. Your brows twitched. "...w-what?"
Lee know clenches his jaw. He grinded his teeth as he moved back. "Why did you tell my mom?"
"Because I wanted to help you—"
"HELP ME!? I told you to knock it off. Is it so difficult to understand!?"
He yelled at you. You looked down, fist clenched as your knuckles turned white. Lee know chuckled as he leaned against the locker.
"right, a girl like you is only here on a scholarship"
You froze in your spot. You felt your eyes watered.
"h-how did you know about that?"
A laugh escapes his lips.
"found your files on my mom's desk...so what, you been lying to everyone about your family status, huh?...If money what you need, here take it. I don't need you to meddle with my problem if you can't understand simple instructions"
He threw his black card on the floor, landing right beneath your shoe. You hated how he was acting now. Your breath hitched. Tears slowly made their way down your cheeks. You looked at him.
"I HATE YOU!"
You yelled. Throwing a slap across his face. Lee know eyed you up and down. His right hand, holding the redden side of his face that you slapped. You let out uncontrollable sobs. Lee know only scoffed. He bumped against your shoulder roughly as he walked off, leaving you alone.
Tumblr media
The one thing you fear the most has come. Soon the next day, all you hear is giggles and gossip from different students. All pointing back at you. You didn't think he would do that. Exposing everything.
Many of your so-called friends left except a few stayed. One being Yuna, lee know's best friend whom you got close to. You knew the two had known each other since young. A complete polar of him. She was nice. She even offered to talk things out with lee know which you declined.
You eventually explained everything to Yuna. She felt bad for you but knew she couldn't do much. You told her, that you won't be in school anymore and that was the last time she had seen you. Only to find out, you were at the hospital with your younger sister.
the next few days, he didn't see you anywhere on campus. It's like you entirely disappeared. Part of him feels guilty that he caused this.
"Yuna, Where's y/n?", Yuna scoffed, very unlike her. Lee know was taken aback at how his best friend was reacting.
"What do you even want from her? Didn't you ruin her life already?"
"I really didn't mean to lash out at her...a-and the rumors, i swear I didn't spread it. You have to believe me"
Lee know purse his lips, looking down. Yuna let out a sigh as she patted his shoulder.
"Whatever minho. In case you didn't know, y/n was determined to accept your mom's proposal because she needed the money. Not for herself but for her younger sister who has terminal illness...and also...", Yuna raised her hand slightly in the air.
"she's not trying to make you look hopeless. she just wanted to help you, knowing the truth behind your behavior...you shouldn't have done what you did without hearing her out"
Lee know was stunt. He didn't expect that explanation. Guilt ate him.
"I- I...."
"You don't have to say anything minho, I'll text the hospital she's in, you can apologize to her in person"
Lee know only nodded his head.
—— — (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠) ———
"who are you?"
"I'm y/n's friend, where's y/n?"
Your sister tilts her head. Slightly nervous around new faces. She pointed to the door. "She went to get food in the cafeteria"
Lee know nodded his head. Just then, you entered the room.
"Hey sis—...h-how did you know I'm here?", you stuttered.
Lee know only lets out a small smile, approaching you. "Shall we talk outside then?"
—— — (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠) ———
"So...Yuna told you everything, huh...great I guess", You fiddled with your finger, feeling anxious. Lee know noticed, immediately taking your hand in his. You were quite surprised but didn't say a word.
"I'm sorry...for everything I said, but I swear it wasn't me who spread it", he pleaded with his eyes. You could tell he wasn't lying.
"Then?", you motion with your free hand. "It's hyunjin's ex-girlfriend and her little gang, apparently they were there when we were talking", he explained.
You nodded your head. There was really nothing that you could do.
"It's fine. What's done is done. I'm going to drop out of university...so it doesn't really matter"
The grip lee know had on your hand, weaken He looked at you in shock. "You're kidding right?". You shook your head. "No one was supposed to know i was on a scholarship contract, basically once it's revealed, I have to bye-bye to everything", you chuckled to yourself.
Lee know's brows furrow. He knew he had to do something to get you back in school. You were so close to graduating already. And it was about time, he finally talked things out with his parents for good. He had done enough damage. And you most definitely didn't need to be involved.
—— — (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠) ———
You hugged lee know. You were feeling over the moon when you found out that lee know had gotten you back in school. He had also cleared the rumors that were spreading which eventually died down.
"Thank you so much!"
He smiled back. Patting your back. "What can I do to repay you back?"
"Let's play a game...whoever ranks highest in the finals, gets to ask the loser to do something"
You grinned, finding this challenge very amusing. Shaking his hand. You let him know your answer.
"Deal!"
—— — (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠) ———
Obviously you ranked first while lee know followed along in second place. You grinned at him, making him roll his eyes at you.
"So? what's your wish?", he questioned.
"I've decided to give you my wish. You deserve it"
"Really", He looked at you with his eyes widened. You nodded your head. He let out a chuckle.
"So what do you want?"
He tilted your chin, making you look upwards. You raised your brows at him. He moved closer to you, closing the gap between the two of you. A soft smile appears on his face.
"Then, be my girlfriend"

You know how Matthew has his own demon hipster chicks, what If I did headcannons for the league of exes where in alternative universes the other exes have their own demons. Or maybe like what if they summoned demons and how would those demons be like, I don't know. Saw some tiktoks that inspired me about this idea as well as some old idea's for oc's from a while ago, let me know what y'all think! I might do headcannons for each evil ex, a little series thingy for the evil exes after I'm done with everything I'm working on now.
Oh, also I'd happily do oneshots for demon readers. Like maybe Matthew accidentally summoning reader instead of a demon hipster chick, anyways If I do this I have an idea for how Lucas Lee's and the twins demons would be like. Also, I have the dating Young Neil headcannons done and the Scollace ones almost finished. Once I finish those, I'll send them and get back to working on the oneshots. But I hope everyone's night or day is going well!

used to this (the unraveling)
i'll say your name, just listen doesn't it sound different? never whispered it this way
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: dino / lee chan (seventeen) x reader
word count: 750
genre: fluff, suggestive
warning: kissing, making out
a/n: just fleshing out the confession scene from used to this. i’m still in a friends-to-lovers mood, so maybe i’ll write more of these and make a series out of them. also, this is not proofread at all (i kind of lost control of the length), and my first time writing suggestive things - hope it’s somewhat convincing xD.
taglist: @itsveronicaxxx, @husbandhoshi, @zurikyo  - hope you like it!
Tumblr media
“i told you i got it, just give me a few minutes”, chan says. you knew he would - he never did let you help clean the studio once he was done practicing, but you still ask, as always. there’s a tense undercurrent between you and chan today, and you suspect it has to do with how you’ve been avoiding him the last few days. you tried to be inconspicuous, but chan’s known you for too long.
you’ve liked your best friend for years now, ever since you witnessed his practice the first time that september night, in this very studio. you might’ve liked him even before that, but that was the night you realized it. you never told him ofcourse - it’s obvious he doesn’t feel the same way, only ever treating you as a platonic friend. so you pretend that’s all you want to be.
pretending has been hard recently. you hit your threshold the last time you were here, when you saw a producer flirting with him. he didn’t encourage it, just laughed it off as a joke - and maybe that’s all it was - but your mind reminded you that you have no right to feel anything about chan flirting with people. you’re his friend, you’re supposed to cheer him on as he flirts - you’re supposed to be happy if he’s happy pursuing someone else.
but you’re not happy. you’re not happy like this. you want more. so you decide to avoid him.
you expected today to go as most your meetings with chan in the studio go - you watch him practice, he asks about your life, you make jokes, and you pretend you’re not hopelessly and irrevocably in love with your best friend. for some reason, you find it hard to do it today. after last time, you don’t want to pretend anymore. you want to get the words out - knowing he will reject you. if you’re lucky, chan will understand and give you space. and you can be friends after some time - hopefully salvage a bit of your years-long friendship.
“i like you”, you blurt out to chan’s back - you couldn’t say it to his face. you see him freeze, and you close your eyes. there’s a moment of silence, and you wonder if he'll reply with something like “ofcourse you do, you’re my friend” - but you know chan isn’t the kind of person to make a joke of your confession.
the feeling of rough fingertips on your cheek makes you open your eyes. chan’s looking at you with a carefully controlled expression on his face, a stark contrast to his stormy eyes. “do you mean it?”, he asks in a low voice.
“yes”.
the hand on your cheek moves to cup your jaw, thumb resting lightly on your cheek. “chan”, you whisper.
you feel a hand wrap around your waist as he pulls you close, “say it again”.
“chan”, you whisper again, barely getting the word out before his lips meet yours.
in media, first kisses are depicted as gentle and soft - how two people slowly explore each other, how they smile against each other’s lips, how they gently cradle their partner’s faces while feeling their lips for the first time.
there’s nothing gentle and soft about your first kiss with chan. kissing him feels like letting the ocean waves take you where they may, after swimming against the current in vain. it’s wild and desperate, like both of you have yearned for this for too long and exhausted any semblance of patience.
oh, you smile - a rather feral grin when you pull his hair lightly and hear him groan. and the two of you are exploring each other - the hand on your waist is now rubbing light circles against your skin, and your hands are slowly running down his chest and abdomen, slipping under his shirt.
you whine when his lips part yours, moaning when you feel him press kisses under your ear. “easy now”, he chuckles, kissing your ear softly. “chan”, you whine again, tugging at his shirt.
to your disappointment, he pulls back. one of his hands stays on your cheek, and the other reaches to intertwine with yours. he moves towards to you again, lips almost touching yours, his darkened eyes looking at you. “i like you too”, you hear him murmur, right before he leans forward to kiss you again.

prev + m.list // epilogue
Tumblr media
THE sun sets outside the window as Donghyuck paces inside his room. His phone rests on the dressing table with the speaker turned on as mush of different voices trying to speak over each other all at once on the other end of the line. 
“This party’s gonna end before you even arrive, Hyuck. Where the fuck are you?!”
Renjun roars from the other end of the line and Donghyuck almost winces at how his voice makes him sound like he's going to emerge through the phone to pounce on Hyuck any moment now. 
“I’m just nervous, okay!” He yanks the bowtie that he had been fiddling with for the past fifteen minutes, deciding to just go with a tie before he starts to lose both his patience and mind. “I need to do this confession thing right if I'm finally going to do it. Again.”
“Finally.” Chenle’s voice perks from where his phone is somewhere near the dressing table and Donghyuck scoffs at it. “If you don't confess tonight I’m going to do it for you—on the stage, in front of the entire school, and on a loudspeaker.”
“Let him breathe, Chenle. He's gonna chicken out from your threats before he even enters the venue,” Jaemin chides and Donghyuck almost ends the call at that. There's only so much his patience and ego can handle. 
“Too bad for both of you, I’m done. I'll be there in, like,” he picks up his phone to check the time, “approximately five minutes.”
“You better be here in five or I swear to god–”
Donghyuck huffs at Renjun's warnings. “You swear too much for someone who's the perfect example of a royal in this school.”
“Desperate times call for desperate measures, haven't you hear—ow! Fine, sorry!” Chenle’s sentence gets interrupted by what Donghyuck assumes was the onslaught of Renjun’s rage. “Stop pinching my ears now, will you? I said I'm sorry!”
He shakes his head, shoving the folded note of paper in his jacket pockets as he tries to shake off his nerves. 
“I’ll see you guys soon.” 
“See you soon Lover B—!”
Donghyuck ends the call before Chenle can finish his quip. 
Today is the day. Or night. 
It's finally the day where Donghyuck is going to confess to you, and he's hoping to do it in a way that's right this time. His previous countless attempts and one (1) failure have taught him enough to let him know whatever he needs to do for nailing it this time. 
He’s realized that pining for you from a distance is not enough. It never was. He was so close to laying his feelings out for you and telling you that he likes you—maybe he always had and he always will because nobody has ever made him feel the way you do. 
All those times when he thought that seeing your face around made his mood go sour wasn't because he saw you, but because he couldn't bear the thought of not being able to see you for the rest of the day, or week, at times. Donghyuck wants to admire you all day long if he gets the chance to, he wants to hold your hand and watch the beautiful smile stretch across your face and make his heart go on overdrive with just a glance. 
Lee Donghyuck has been in love with you this entire time. And if there's anything this one-month roommate arrangement has done for him, is to make him realize and accept the true feelings that he harbors for you: his rival, his roommate, and hopefully, soon enough, his beloved cupid. 
He hopes that you can accept his confession too, his real confession. Unfiltered, sincere, signed, and spoken from his heart. 
Tumblr media
You know this is not the way you're supposed to be handling an anonymous love note confession. Especially when you find yourself hiding away in your best friends' dorms, pacing around with both your heart and mind in a mess. 
“Pretty sure you've outwalked the entire campus at this rate, dude.” Yangyang pipes up, munching on his snack from his secret stash as his eyes follow your figure walking back and forth inside their dorms. You've covered almost the entirety of the area so many times you could map out the place on paper with your eyes closed. 
“You know you can't keep ignoring him, right?” Shotaro asks, eyes on you as you halt in your movements and gulp as both his question and intense stare pin you down. 
“Or hide away from him cause there's no way you won't see him at the party tonight.” 
You frown at Yangyang’s words. “I am not hiding from Hyuck.” 
He blinks innocently. “Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself more than me.” 
“You’re being like Taro right now, do you know that?” 
At that, Yangyang gasps in offense while Shotaro only rolls his eyes seeing you two bicker. 
“And you are being ridiculous….!” Shotaro’s voice isn't stern, it nearly isn't even angry but it still sends a chill down your spine hearing him use your name as he continues later on. “You have to be brave and face him.”
“I know, Taro. I know…I just—I wish it was as easy as it is to say it.” 
You know you're being childish. Hiding away and ignoring Donghyuck isn't the way to go about things, especially when you find yourself unsure about everything. Everything except for the fact that you do like him yet there's nothing you can do about it except hope and fear that the signs in front of you aren't something you've misread. 
You're tired of waiting around, smiling, and pretending to be happy when you know oh so painfully that you'll never be the first choice, the only option, or even have the first place in someone's heart. You've always been the second lead in the story, the ‘matchmaker’ best friend, or just, the second choice everyone knows will never be. 
But you wished things were different with Hyuck—it felt different with Hyuck. 
It didn't start with sweet smiles or stolen glances, no, it started with fierce stances and unwavering glares, with petty arguments and a rivalry that was nothing short of a cat and mouse chasing each other around. Things started on a much harsher note with Hyuck, he saw the worst of you and pinpointed any chance he had while you took each of his quips to twist it around in a comeback of your own. 
It started with a rivalry and ended up with love. 
You only hope that winning didn't come at the cost of a broken heart. 
Tumblr media
Donghyuck feels anxious.
His nerves have been getting the best of him ever since this morning when he had woken up to find your side of the room all tidied up and set and empty. 
You were nowhere to be found. 
A feeling of panic rose in his chest at the thought until he realises that you're probably busier than ever today since it's the day of the party, and you must be up early to organize and manage the arrangements to be done. He lets himself take this as more time to prepare himself for what he has decided for tonight. It's for the better that his courage doesn't falter before he sees you and nitpicks signs about how he's misread everything and that his feelings aren't reciprocated. 
He tells himself that you're probably too busy to stop by the dorms because you have to make sure the arrangements are done. You wouldn't ignore him, right? Things were fine with you two after what happened at the broadcast. 
Why would you want to hide away from him? 
But now that he has finally arrived at the place, the music all but blaring in his ears as the chatter of the students fills the air around him, he feels anything but sure about his assumptions—or his will. The lights blur out his furrowed brows and the lines that crease his forehead in both worry and anxiety. He has downed at least two glasses of the drinks being served by the fairies yet he feels his throat go dry and he gulps his nerves away hoping they get buried somewhere deep in the pit of his stomach. 
He's already at the party, yet he still hasn't seen you yet. His eyes flit across the room to search for your familiar figure and he feels his hopes crumble each passing minute that he fails because you're nowhere to be seen. 
The guys tell him he's thinking too much about it, that you're here and that they've seen you. Even after Jaemin assures him that you're probably doing soundcheck and making sure everything is set for the big reveal at the party, Donghyuck’s mind hasn't stopped running in circles. 
The fear that you might slip away from his hands has his knees grow weak and Renjun had to hold the boy upright before he stumbled beside the booth they stood at. They would opt to sit down but seeing Raven and Mark occupied made them awkwardly hover beside it instead. Renjun wanted to wait till Donghyuck arrived to settle in the party and Chenle wanted to mingle around instead. 
“Hyuck, get yourself together. Goodness,” Renjun scolds him before his eyes grow soft seeing Donghyuck's wide-eyed expression look up at him. “Hey, you're good, you got this. They'll come around, don't worry.” 
The latter sighs dejectedly at that. “But what if I was too late?” 
“Don’t be ridiculous, Hyuck. Cupid won't just disappear before the party even begins and–”
The lights flicker above them before shutting down completely, a faint pink halo replacing them instead in the room. The spotlight shines itself on the stage set up ahead of them and when the voice speaks Donghyuck feels his heartbeat loudly in his chest, tuning out all the hushed whispers beside him and Renjun's voice too. 
Upon that stage stood the greatest object of his affections, in all your otherworldly glory. You look beautiful tonight, no doubt about it, but Donghyuck feels that it would be an understatement to just how utterly ethereal you look in the moment—under the spotlight, shining and glowing and he finds himself mesmerized in your halo. You've let your wings out today and Hyuck swears you truly must be an angel to grace him in your presence because he hasn't seen a sight as magical as you in all of ever after. 
“Everybody, let me present to you, the best DJ in all of Ever After!” you smile as you gesture for her to hold onto your hand as she climbs on the stage. “Put your hands together for DJ Melody!” 
Cheers break through the crowd as the lights flash around and then focus on the girl with headphones around her neck on the stage. She flicks her wrist and in a matter of seconds, a purple mist surrounds the stage as a mixing table morphs out of thin air and tall speakers stand on its sides. 
She smirks as she puts the headphones on and moves her fingers around the console. “Are you guys ready for some True Heart's Tunes?!” 
The roars from the crowd fill the air, tuning out the music for just a moment before it surrounds the venue, blasting through the huge speakers once again, and the party begins in full swing. 
“Let’s get this party started!” 
Tumblr media
“Melody’s here?” 
Jaemin inquires, eyes wide and curious with the utmost shock painting his features. The announcement hits him so hard that he drops the barely filled cup of beverage he had been holding on the ground, legs having a mind of their own as he pushes past his way in the crowd to reach the front of the crowd and near the stage. 
Chenle groans as he feels the liquid spill on his shoes and whines in a complaint about having to clean them now. Renjun can only laugh with amusement running through him at the antics of his lovesick best friends. Jaemin and Hyuck might bicker a lot with each other, but they're surprisingly the same when it comes to matters of the heart; clueless, oblivious, and utterly whipped. 
He just hopes Jaemin doesn't end up doing something stupid tonight, not when he's finally starting to accept his feelings for the girl he says is just his “best friend.” 
Renjun calls bullshit. 
Best friends don't look at each other longingly across the room, and neither do they smile wider every time they hear the other speak or laugh or smile at something the other says. Best friends don't look at each other with hearts in their eyes and share “I love you's” they want to say differently—hidden under the guise of “just friends.”
No, best friends don't love each other as lovers do. 
And Renjun can only hope that Jaemin gets out of his denial stage of feelings soon enough before another heart breaks this time.
Tumblr media
There's a buzz that floats around the hall as the faeries get to work and hand out the famous love blossoms for the classic True Heart's Day tradition.
A hush of voices and stolen stares, smiles shared knowingly and some hidden as one ducked their head. 
It's a special experience, you observe as your eyes roam around to see the shy souls become brave for once as they give their love blossom as a declaration of their love to that special someone. 
The tradition of dedicating and giving the Love Blossom to someone who you love dearly, as a declaration of your love. Be it platonic or the romantic kind—or any other kind. Love shared is love grown tenfold together. 
It swells your heart when you see Mark handing his blossom to Raven, and seeing the latter do the same. Two young hearts who dare to be in love in the truest of ways, and it fills you with a sense of pride in yourself for embracing the sight in front of you, and the glaringly obvious truth. 
They belong together.
And maybe once, the boy did hold your heart but you've come to terms with the truth that he was only one of the bearers of its possession for a temporary time because it had belonged to someone else all along. 
Someone who you aren't sure if you're ready to face just yet. 
But just as fate would have it for you, you notice his figure approaching you as soon as you tear your eyes away from Mark and Raven. 
He's right in front of you, walking to where you stand, appearing almost out of nowhere like the figment of your worst assumptions and bad calculations. 
You have always been bad at math. 
Each step he takes sends a signal to the vice grip around your heart to grow tighter, tighter until the cracks spread around its surface. Until it shatters into a million pieces and all there's left for you to gather are the pieces and memories of yet another heartbreak. 
You want to move. To run away, or walk anywhere but where you stand right now—frozen. You want to move away and avoid the heartbreak you're so sure will crumple you like a useless piece of paper that you can taste the feeling on the tip of your tongue. You want to run away from whatever Donghyuck’s next step would reveal as his eyes never leave yours—he’s walking toward you with a task on his mind and he looks like he's bound to complete it, one way or the other. 
As for you? There hasn't been a moment unlike this that you've wanted to flee with the wind than as of now. 
And yet, you're frozen on the spot. Waiting and hoping that when Donghyuck comes face to face with you, his word and his rejection don't hurt you as much as they would. 
Amid all this contemplating, impatient urges, mixed feelings, and even confusing thoughts, you fail to notice the love blossom of the boy approaching you clutched in his hands. 
Both his eyes and heart set on you. 
Lee Donghyuck was ready to lose the rivalry game, as long as it meant he can win you. And he's about to test that theory in a few.
Tumblr media
“Donghyuck is gonna confess.”
“He isn't going to do that, stop giving out false hope.”
“But he is! Look!” Yangyang grabs Shotaro’s face to make him turn to his right and see the reason for the growing quiet among the crowd and the music slowly fading away. 
The crowd splits into two gradually as Donghyuck takes a step over to you, lights getting dimmer and the spotlight cast upon your figure and his seeming to blend into one when he's finally in front of you. 
“Oh my god….he is going to confess?”
“Duh, Captain Obvious!” Yangyang mutters as he lets go of Shotaro's face and instead grabs the drink from the latter's hand before it spills out of the cup with how hard Shotaro seems to squeeze it in his fist. 
“Wow, never thought you'd use my words against me like that,” Shotaro mumbles under his breath, eyes still trained on the scene playing out in front of him before he feels the cup in his hand getting replaced by something much softer. “What are you–”
YangYang smiles, gently patting over Shotaro’s hand—which now holds the blossom he handed to him. “Happy True Heart's day, Shotaro. Thank you for being one of the best friends I could ever ask for, I love you.”
Shotaro softens at the sincerity reflecting in Yangyang’s eyes. “Yangyang…I love you too, dude.” 
“Don’t tell me you're going to sweat with your eyes now.”
“Shut the fuck up, you doofus.” Shotaro laughs as he lightly punches Yangyang’s arm—who has a smile on his face himself. “Here, I wouldn't have given mine to anyone else either way.”
He hands his love blossom to Yangyang, who puts a hand on his heart while he wipes away a fake tear from the corners of his eye. “Awh, this is so sweet of you, Taro.” 
“That was so cute of you two. Friendship wins!” 
Jeno, who had been watching the entire exchange of the two best friends from the sidelines, speaks up, almost appearing out of nowhere. 
The three of them share a moment of silence before they burst out laughing at the comical timing of the whole exchange, and Yangyang ends up dropping the drink he snatched from Shotaro's hands instead. 
Tumblr media
Lee Donghyuck is standing face to face with the supposed bane of his existence yet all he feels is the utmost amount of adoration for you—the same person he swore to himself could never be a good sign of absolutely anything in his life. If he's sure about one thing after all these days of mixed feelings and thoughts, it's that you've never been what he's always tagged you as—the bane of his existence.
And when your sudden presence in his life came with the announcement of the new dorm lists, which said in bright bold lettering that he had to share a dorm with you out of all people? He was anything but looking forward to it.
Fast forward to the moment he is in right now, there's nothing that he'd want to change about the course of said events that have brought him to this realization—with his heart in his hands, figuratively, in the form of the love blossom he holds, when in reality it is already in your possession. 
This is the moment where he lets you decide whether you break it or keep it with you, forever after, or as long as you want to. 
The music has stopped long ago and the crowd has parted in silent agreement to let you two have this small untouched bubble of your own for this very crucial moment. It's like the crowd awaits what happens next with bated breath—and they're not the only ones. 
The lights have been dimmed and two spotlights are right in the middle of the darkroom, shining on top of you. 
This is it.
You think as Donghyuck's eyes connect with yours, and by the looks of it, he plans to keep them trained on you and only you for the rest of the time for whatever’s about to go down. His gaze pins you down in one place and the intensity of it should make you sweat bullets, make your hands go cold at the prospect, and mind jammed with a billion thoughts running through it. 
You should be nervous right now. You know what's about to come and you know what he's about to do next, then why does it still feel like you know nothing about the boy in front of you?
He's the one person who's made your time at Ever After High unbearable, whenever you're around him. You've found yourself collecting countless reasons and justifications for all the times you told yourself you hated him, despised him, even. He's the one thing that taints your rose-tinted glasses vision in the world—the one exception to all your rules and morals you've lived up to. 
Then why is facing him right now giving you this jarring sense of peace? Like the calm before the storm wreaks havoc all around you, the calm that comes from knowing the end of something you've built and put so much meticulous time into is near yet you cannot do anything to salvage it. The eerily calm sensation that overrides your body right before the waves hit you so hard you're left as nothing but just another floating object in the vast ocean. 
Why is it that someone who gave you so much frustration now has become a source of peace? The beacon of hope in your dark times. He even has this strange halo surrounding his being as you look at him more and more and feel the emotions radiating off of him in waves. Maybe it's just you or maybe it's the lighting, you don't know.
And you're pretty sure you're slowly but surely going to drown in them, one minute at a time. 
“I know this is out of the blue for you, might even sound ridiculous but I have something to tell you,” his eyes search yours for any signs of hesitation or discomfort at his honest words, and when he finds none, he continues, “something very very important to tell you. Something that's been long overdue now.” 
“Hyuck–”
“I know, I know! Just—hear me out? Please?”
And you nod, letting him continue because when have you ever been able to deny when it comes to him: your rival, your roommate, and the one person who has managed to steal your heart away. 
He smiles and it's like he glows when he looks at you. The thought makes your heart swell but you force yourself to think rationally, just in case the heartbreak that's about to come your way might shatter you into pieces that will never truly get fixed. 
“I’ve never really been good at…words, or feelings, really. But I know I was good at getting on your nerves and frustrating you to no end, so much so that you were dead set on defeating me in this so-called rivalry we had going on. And I just want to say that…” 
Donghyuck grins then, eyes staring up at yours as he goes down on his knees—both of his knees while maintaining direct eye contact with you, and there falls this hushed silence in the crowd around you as several gasps break out in the air at the scene. 
Lee Donghyuck on his knees, in front of his esteemed rival, his love blossom held out for said rival with the look of pure adoration and a small request in his gestures as if saying: for you. 
“You won.” 
The utter shock and all the other feelings that wash over you the moment you see him hold up the blossom for you to take with the softest and most nervous smile on his face as he looks up at you was nothing compared to sheer joy seeping through the brim and slipping past in the form of a tear slipping down your cheek.
Donghyuck reaches to stand up and wipe the tear on your cheek at the same time that you launch yourself at him. He could practically hear the choirs of rejoice around him and cry out in relief when he felt your arms envelop him in a hug that felt long overdue for something that feels so safe and welcoming. 
“Yes. Yes, yes, yes! Oh my god, Hyuck—goodness. I know you haven't asked me yet but yes.”
He wraps his arms around you, embracing you whole with the biggest grin on his face. “Thank you for clearing my doubts but I really wanted to ask you out properly, so, may I?” 
You're hiding your face in the crook of his neck as a laugh beckons over you involuntarily at that. The two of you let the moment sink in for a bit before you face the inevitable—literally—as you pull away just to see him already staring at you like you're the best thing he's ever had the privilege of holding in his hands, and his arms but most importantly, in his heart.
“Dear Cupid, would you do me, the loser of this rivalry, the honor of becoming my one and only beloved?” 
“Is this your way of telling me the love note was yours?”
“Is this your way of saying yes to me?” He replies just as determined to your quips as he always has and the sickening affection that swells inside of you spills out into your face in the beautiful grin that spreads across your face at his words. 
You let your arms, which were resting on his chest as he spoke, loop around his neck instead as your smile softens with a mischievous look in your eyes. 
“Hm, I'll think about it since no one has given me a blossom yet, but don't worry Mr. Lee,” the smile on your face only widening as you continue, “I’ll keep your proposal in mind.”
He gapes at your words in disbelief and you burst out in laughter at his expression. The crowd around you has now gone through a dozen of emotions and is utterly confused as to how they're supposed to react to whatever conversation seems to be going between you two: you're laughing and Hyuck looks shocked but you two are still in each other's arms?
“I can't let that happen, no way.” He retracts one of his arms away just to hold the Love Blossom between the two of you as he peeks back up at you. “Accept my love, please? Ever After High has certainly seen enough of Lee Donghyuck's fall, I think it's fair enough to see me falling in love too.”
The urge to kiss away the pout from Hyuck’s face as of right now is too strong to avoid—until you realize that maybe you don't have to avoid it anymore, not when both your feelings are mutual and nothing is holding you back now. Not even yourself.
“I accept.” Taking the blossom from his hand, your eyes flick up to his lips before going back to making eye contact with him, just to find that he was doing the same. Except Donghyuck hasn't stopped staring at your lips.
“Forever after?” he asks in a far innocent tone for the hopeful glimmer in his eyes and the way he unconsciously licks his lips. “Will you be my happily ever after?”
“Only one way to find out.” 
And Hyuck knows that you plan to keep your promise the moment you connect your lips with his and it is in this moment, that he's sure that he's found the person he truly does want to be his forever happy ever after. 
This time, the crowd around you finally relaxes their shoulders as they break out in cheers and congratulations and even some chants of “finally!” but you couldn't care less about it when you're finally getting the chance to revel in the love you’ve always helped others find. 
— the end.

Falling for you
Tumblr media
The second installment of my drabble series. Let me know what you think about it. A big thank you again to @fortheloveoffanfic for being my beta 💗 Happy reading everyone
Also here are the songs played at the pub:
Bean Pháidín , Tell me Ma-Gaelic Storm , Galway Girl - Fiddler's Green
Summary: A few weeks later finds the reader in all kinds of embarrassing situations - mostly tripping over stuff or falling over people - right in front of Lee
Warnings: none, besides fluff, clumsiness and a little tinge of jealousy
Words: 2231
Another day on the set of the second installment of the Hobbit series and already you felt like the clumsiest of all people on set. Either you’d slip, trip or let stuff fall to the ground. But it wasn’t random, it only happened whenever you were around Lee or in his close proximity.
James and Martin had made fun of the fact that it would only happen with the tall actor, but you waved them off and of course Benedict chimed into the scheme.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re falling for the King, luv.” he said one time while the four of you had been granted a break from filming. “You make a fool out of yourself because there’s that one person that makes your heart skip a beat.”
Angrily shuffling your food around the plate, you glared at the British actor. “Well thank you for the vote of confidence. If you hadn’t said it I wouldn’t have known I was such a joke on set.”
“What Ben means to say, dear,” James started, putting his hand on your arm. “is, that when you feel something for another person you get clumsy, do crazy things or fall all over yourself because you can’t concentrate around them. All three of us went through that when we met the women we knew would one day be our wives. It has nothing to do with you being bad at your work, the opposite, actually.”
Reluctantly you nodded your head, feeling like you just made a fool out of yourself again in front of those that were your friends. “I’m sorry, it’s just that I’ve never been like that before and I fear if this happens more Pete will get tired of me messing up. I don’t want to lose this job.”
“You won’t,” Martin said with so much conviction, you couldn’t help but give him a small, teary smile. “Peter isn’t like that. He values your work as part of the crew and how you bring up new ideas or possible changes. Now if you were to set the whole place on fire that would be another case.”
Ben and James laughed softly and you couldn’t help the giggle escaping your lips when you listened to him. You were very lucky to have friends like them or you’d probably would have resigned after the first incident. “Thank you, you have no idea how much I needed this.” you said sending them a grateful smile. "But now I got to head back to work. The king on his throne is waiting for me."
All three laughed before Martin called after you. "Be careful up there and if you fall, fall in his lap, that's a lot more comfortable than the ground." he joked when you had turned back to the three actors but waved him off with your own middle finger. You knew he had a knack for putting his fingers up for the camera when he shouldn't and you were sure there were some scenes he snuck his middle finger in, just like he always did.
A chorus of laughter followed as you righted your work bag and made your way back to the set with Thranduil's throne.
Orlando stood underneath it, grinning up at Lee dressed up as the Elvenking and waited his turn. "Looking good, dad." he called with a chuckle and you could see the tall actor grin.
"Thank you, son. I feel very good up here." he answered leaning back on the chair, trying to fix his robes and wig as best as he could while a few strands were hanging in the branches of his crown.
Peter saw you emerging from the mass and called you over. "Ah, Y/N, good that you're here. Lee's just had a bit of a stumble up the stairs but we'll be doing a few headshots of him and well, you see the mess."
"Sure, I'll get right on it." you told him, taking a deep breath and steeling yourself so you'd be as relaxed as possible while working on fixing the actor. When he saw you approaching, Lee stood up and made to walk down, but you halted him with a motion of your hand. "Stay, I'm coming up so there's no repeat of that."
He stayed standing, watching you make your way up the stairs. Thank God there were handrails just in case. "If you insist
I could have come down, didn't want you to fall to your doom, dear mortal."
"Charms get you everywhere, huh?" you asked him with a grin as you ascended to the Weta built throne, pointing to the seat so he would sit back down again, keeping his long legs tugged to chair so you could start your work on his hair.
"So far it worked out rather well, I think." He told you, smiling as you gently pulled a strand away from the branch of his crown.
You couldn't help the small smile forming on your face as you listened to his jokes while you freed the last of his hair and righted his crown. A final touch of powder over his nose and you were finished. "Now, you're all done and you're looking regal again." You packed up your bag and turned to descend the stairs when you lost your footing and if it hadn't been for Lee's swift reaction, you would have tumbled down.
Short puffs of breath were leaving your mouth when you held on tightly to his shoulders, his arms circling your waist as you had fallen into his lap with that move. "Hello there." he whispered, watching your shocked face, eyes blown wide with fear. "You okay?"
Biting your lip, you couldn't help but enjoy the feel of his hands on your hip, the warmth spreading through your clothes. "I-I'm sorry, I, the stairs…I guess…missed steps." you brokenly mumbled, apparently having forgotten how to talk when you looked into his blue eyes. The contact lenses only intensified his gaze.
"Yeah, they're dangerous." Lee agreed, his head leaning closer, the rest of the world around you forgotten.
Yet before he could close the gap, Peter interrupted you with a loud whistle. "If you two turtledoves are ready, we'd like to continue." he called out to you with a chuckle. Of course everyone had seen that and you already felt the heat of your blush rising all over your body.
Carefully, yet hastily you scrambled off of Lee's lap and made your way down the stairs and to the back of the set. You would have loved for the ground to swallow you up when Benedict had come over and grinned at you.
"So, I don’t think you will tell me what that up there was.” he said matter of fact, knowing you wouldn’t even be able to describe it.
“Nope,” you said, eyeing the actor and PJ going over the next scenes with a dummy. “I’d rather leave it like it is. This is just too embarrassing."
He put his arm around your shoulders pulling you close. Martin was just walking around the corner having seen the whole thing and he instantly knew you'd be shutting down, only doing your work and nothing more, keeping your distance from Lee. The Brit found the eyes of his friend and co-Sherlock-actor, nodding once, then twice. They were your friends and could see that the sparks between their fellow actor and you were there, now they only needed to kindle the fire.
Tumblr media
"Oh, this is wonderful." you gushed, looking around the Irish pub everyone decided to visit at the eve of their day off. "It's been too long since I had so much fun besides being on set."
Already the ciders and beers and whisky were flowing and everyone was laughing and singing with the band that played that night. James had decided to take a row of tables next to the musicians so the cast and crew that wanted to go there would fit into the seats.
"You all deserve a time off after the amazing work you did." Peter said, raising his pint of Guinness for a toast. You all followed suit, calling out a shout of "Hear, hear."
Laughing and listening to all the stories everyone was telling about their time on set, you enjoyed the feeling of warmth that spread through you. Not because of the alcohol but because of your family away from home.
"Are you enjoying the music?" James asked after a short while, himself listening to the tunes and words from his home country.
Nodding your head, you clapped your hands to the rhythm and smiled as a few people started to dance to the songs you couldn't understand the lyrics to. “What is she singing about?” you asked him, leaning in so he could understand the words with the louder music.
"It’s a really old Irish song, dating back hundreds of years in Ireland. This is one of the funny old Irish songs that is sung by a woman, and she sings about another woman." the Irish actor tried to explain over the loud music. "Back in the day women would get together and sing this song about the woman in town that was married to the man that they all wanted to be married to. ‘It’s a pity that I’m not Phaidin’s wife,’ and this woman who’s married to him, they hate her, and as the verses go on, they talk about what they’d like to do to her, like they want to break her legs and get rid of her and do anything to be this man’s wife. It’s a fun song. Irish music is like that. When you translate the words, sometimes it’s like gruesome and dark, but they’re meant in a lighthearted way."
You were always blown away by the way such a story could be shown in a nice tune. "The music is so lively, you'd never guess it's such a sad and dark story behind it."
"That's just the way the Irish are." James grinned at you before another song was starting.
"For our next song we'd love for you guys to get up, dance some more and just have fun." the female singer announced and waved to all patrons in the pub. The violin, banjo and drum began to play the first chords before the singer joined in. "Tell me ma when I go home, the boys won't leave the girls alone."
Benedict and James smiled at you, holding their hand out and pulled you from your seat and onto the provided dance floor where others had already started twirling around. "Let's dance and have some fun." the Brit said, giving you a twirl.
You couldn't help the smile that found its way on your lips as you danced around with the two actors, unbeknownst of the dark blue eyes following your moves. The dance was exhilarating and both James and Ben led you through the steps, jumping and twirling with other patrons until you were out of breath and another song was over.
When you came back to get something to drink you saw one of the seats being vacant. Lee was missing from the group of merry friends and you leaned over to Orlando, who had been sitting besides him. "Where did your dad disappear to?" you asked him, mirth coloring your words as you took a large sip of your drink.
He turned to you and smiled, patting the seat next to him, so you didn't have to stand. You were grateful for that with your feet aching from all the dancing you did with his fellow actors. "He said he needed to get back to the hotel, his flight back to the States is taking off early." Orlando said and your face must have shown your confusion as you didn't know Lee was needed back in America. "Shooting for Guardians of the Galaxy is starting in a few days and he wanted to get back earlier so he arranged it in the last few days. Peter knew about it, I'm surprised he didn't tell you."
"Oh, no, I really didn't know and Lee hadn't mentioned anything before." the disappointment colored your words and you sank back down in your seat. You couldn't help the feeling that it was something that recently happened and especially something you did or he would have been open enough to talk to you.
The British actor patted your leg and grinned. "Don't worry, he'll be back before you know it. Once he's done with that movie Lee's going to annoy us again with his dad jokes."
Nodding your head, you tried to feel confident, but still you didn't know why he didn't at least wait until you were back at the table to say his goodbyes. No he just left without so much as a word. Of course you were only there doing his make - up and hair but you had hoped that in the time you worked together you at least had become friends. Giving the dark haired actor a small smile you made your way back to your corner seat, staring off into space and trying not to get too drunk on your cider while thinking about why not even Peter had bothered to tell you his Elvenking was leaving the set sooner than planned.

I'll wait for you to like me
Tumblr media
Pairings: Mark x Reader «past» Jeno x reader.
Characters: Mark, Jeno, Donghyuck (Haechan), Ten «hinted» Jisung, Chenle, Jaemin.
Theme: fluff, confusion, angst(but not really), open ending, happy, playful.
Word count: 1.6k
~~~
Mark knew he was the wallflower among his brothers. While his brothers played with people's hearts he studied. While his brothers fooled around he worked hard. While his brothers stole people's hearts to only break them he broke hearts through rejections.
He never messed around, always had good grades and his only friend was his half brother Donghyuck but not by choice, the youger just latched himself onto Mark the first time Mark spoke.
Mark liked his reputation of the heartless and cold brother. He liked being the most mysterious among his brothers. He liked keeping to himself. He liked his personal space. He looed music. He like how he was very sure of what he liked. And he knew for sure that he liked you.
But you liked Jeno....
So he kept his distance and watched from the side lines. He watched how Jeno tried to gain your trust and felt a pang in his heart when you trusted the boy. He watched how you agreed to dating Jeno and he watched how you slowly fell in love with his brother. His gut twisting in longing and jealousy.
He watched sadly the day Jeno broke your heart. And never in his life did he want to punch someone so bad, let alone the person he wanted to punch being his own brother but yet he didn't because he watched how Jeno loved you back but the moment things got a bit to real for his liking he spiralled and hurt you in the process.
He watched how Jeno would look at you so fondly and after you broke up he would secretly stare at you longingly when no one was watching. How he would constantly deny his feelings for you because his friends thought that it was uncool. How he said awful things about you to his awful friends that led him astray. He hated that he had to watch Jeno lose himself.
...
"You're the only other person here?" You had startled him one day as you leaned over his desk in the news room.
He blinked once to make sure he wasn't hallucinating before nodding, "Yes I run the school news paper"
You tilted you head to the side face scrunching cutely in confusion.
"I get the work done and quite perfectly at that so the school allows me to run it alone." Mark explained and felt lighthead when you smiled at him.
"Why are you here" he blurted out coldly before you could notice the change in his face from how much blood was travelling to it.
"Well I'm going to run the newspaper with you." You casually said. Cultural shock. That's what he went through that day.
And so before he knew it, it became a new norm to spend his afternoons with you in that small cramped up room with two desks and a printer.
And for once he wasn't just watching you, he was talking to you, laughing with you, working with you and getting into petty arguments with you which would just end with Mark being all red and flustered and you giggling away. And suddenly he knew he liked you even more. And maybe he wasn't the only one that knew that little fact. And that was a problem.
It happened on one of the monthly Sunday morning family breakfasts when Mr.Lee kept picking at Tens choice for the next step in the family business which included his lover so Ten, much to Mark's dismay changed the topic, "So Mark I heard you've been having fun at school these days?" His second eldest brother teased, wiggling his brows.
Mr. Lee's cocked an eyebrow at that piece of information but Mark simply hummed and got back to eating, enjoying his peace.
But when your brother's with Lee Donhyuck peace didn't come easy.
"Oh yes he has" the boy said and Mark looked at him confused, "He's been enjoying his time with y/n working for the school newspaper together"
Mark cursed in his head, side eyeing Jeno who seemed to freeze at your name expression cold.
"Yes it's nice to have company" Mark mumbled as the topic changed yet again to something about the trouble Haechans been causing.
...
Mark watched how Jeno distanced himself from him and how his brother who was usually sweet eye smiles and mischievous laughs was now curt nodds and cold eyes.
The one thing he knew he hated was fighting with his brothers. And even though him and Jeno weren't really fighting they weren't talking to eachother either.
His mood changed drastically, sullen at the change in attitude from his younger brother but he doubts anybody would have noticed.
That's why he was shocked when you placed a cup of boba milk tea on his desk saying "because you were sad and needed cheering up" before scrunching your nose cutely and adding "and because you're the only weirdo that doesn't like coffee"
And he looked at you in awe, mouth sliglty agape and you chuckled leaning down and closing it for him as he startled at the contact recalling behind a bit.
"So Markie boy what's got you so worried" you asked sitting yourself down on his desk as he flushed over the nickname.
"My brother" he said hesitantly and saw your face harden, he knew you knew of his relation to your ex but you guys never spoke about it.
"What happened" you still asked him, expression neutral.
"Just a little confusing times between us so there's a cold war going on" he said with a defeated sigh and your lips curved downwards.
"I've see how close you are to your brothers' and how much you care for them" you said and Mark was surprised you knew that, "Whatever it is it's going to pass. After all you guys are the infamous Lee brother's. A family of old money where the brothers dont hate eachother" you joked without knowing how true and rare that was and how much he cherished that fact. Especially since all his father wanted them to do was to get 'ambitious' and steal the buisness back from Ten.
So Mark had decided that very day to confront Jeno after school, waiting patiently at his brothers car.
"You're here to talk I'm guessing?" Jeno voice called out and Mark turned around to see him walking towards the car with a friend's Mark didn't recognise, a really tall boy with pink hair, a short one with orange hair and one Jenos height with blond hair and a blue fringe.
Jeno waved goodbye to the boys as he seperated ways from them and approached Mark.
"Who are they?" Mark couldn't help but ask.
"They're from the dance team." Jeno replied not looking at his brother at all.
"You've been avoiding me" Mark accused angry that the boy coildnt even look at him now and Jeno nodded, "You're right"
"Why" Mark asked with a frown.
"Well..."
"It's because of y/n isn't it?" Mark cut Jeno off, "If your uncomfortable with me working on the newspaper with y/n then I can-"
"Can what?" Jeno laughed catching Mark off guard, "Can quit? And then what let the newspaper die with you? I actually enjoy reading those." Jeno smiled at Mark who just stood there dumbfounded.
"Look I was being petty, I broke up with y/n ages ago. If you have feelings for y/n then go for it, I shouldn't hold you back" Jeno said with a sad smile.
"But don't you like..."
"I do. But I was dumb and now I'm too late so go shoot your shot" Jeno said with a pat on Marks back and smiled sadly as he watched his brother run off to meet you. Maybe he'll get over you if dating you makes his quite and overworking brother happy and atleast a little carefree.
"Y/N!" Mark called out as he ran towards you, starteling you.
"Go out with me" he blurted as soon as he was infront of you and your eyes widened but a frown made its way to your face soon after.
"Is this some joke?" You asked angrily and Mark seemed genuinely confused.
"Look I thought you were nice but now you're trying to pull the same stunt Jeno did?" You yelled and Mark looked taken back.
"W-what no. I would never!" he replied immediately.
"I want to believe that's true but it probably isn't" you said as your eyes slowly started to glisten. "Is this funny to you Mark?"
"What? No! No y/n I really like you, have liked you way before Jeno did I swear this isn't a game" he said quickly, holding onto your hand in hopes of conveying his sincerity. But it only made you more doubtful.
"Even if it was true Mark I d-dont want to like anyone again for a while" you said tone sad and Mark felt bad, maybe he didn't think this through.
"I'll wait then" it was your turn to look confused
"Then I'll wait for you to be ready to like someone again."
You sighed but the gesture seemed so sweet and from what you knew from the little time you spent with him in that small room daily was that Mark wasn't a good liar, "It may take a long while and I might not even end up liking you. You think you're okay with that?"
Mark eyes sparkled with something unreadable but it was definitely something good. He nodded his head, determined, "No matter how long and with how little hope I have, I'll wait for you to like me."

I hihi I am!!! A little nervous w/ doing this bc I've never done this b4 so please bear🐻 w// me💦 May I request a match up? A vision, a romantic partner and maybe a friend and/or enemy? If that's too much feel free to just assign me a vision + partner, ehe/// Preferably male for a romantic match-up, but either gender is fine with a friend and enemy match-up^^ I tried to be as detailed as possible but I think I ended up just ranting, so im v v sorry if it's long! I sort of fluctuate when it comes to being an introvert/extroverted. W// strangers and irl, I'm very introverted and shy!! Rarely speak and if I do it's just the usual "Hi how are you? That's good. I'm good too, thank you for asking:)" yeayea I'm not too. Keen on social interaction irl. But I always do my best to be very nice!! I never wanna come off as mean bc wow what a bad first impression that would be. But with friends / ppl ik online?? Whew I am very very friendly n chatty ^^ Either very high energy or very chill, there's rarely any inbetween. Sometimes I like to jokingly tease my friends but I'd never go too far / make them uncomfortable!! And if I do I always apologize right away!! I like to say that I'm affectionate?? My strongest love language is def physical affection, if not quality time. Idk man there's just something about vibing with someone or hugging them that just aaaaa/// Although I usually display affection w// words of affection bc. Literally most of my friends are online friends so I can't actually hug them, sad times. Idk if this is needed/important info but I just remembered: I'm 5'6 around??? Need glasses bc. Whew i am blind (near sighted), I'm poc (specifically black) anndd, hm. Actually I think thats it for this section, aha. As you can see I'm, not really all that organized. Also I don't have the best attention span - while writing this I'm circling between 4 different apps - and I'm a bit of a mess. And also a little stupid. Just a smidge dumb. But I have my moments - I solved like. 2 puzzles in Inazuma by myself so I think that counts for something. I also find that I tend to talk a whole lot when I have an idea or smthn to say abt a thing I'm super interested in!! That's info-dumping. I info dump. Yes. I also really like to listen to other people talk abt things they like!!!! Its so nice :) I'm protective over people I care about!! I've never done it but 100% would bark at someone who messed with someone close to be. Arf arf yaknow. I tend to he impulsive. I'll do something, and be all "YEAH>:D" and then regret it later. And then I'll do it all over again in a fun little cycle :) I consider myself an optimist, but quickly turn into a pessimist whenever it concerns myself. Fun funfun. Should probably mention that I am. A very insecure person w/ dangerously low self esteem, which is super fun esp when you mix that with the fact that I'm rarely ever motivated to improve. Yayayay Also sort of a pushover?? Like most often than not I'll be convinced to do something, even if I'm not too keen on doing it. Also afraid of confrontation when it comes to my friends and strangers (that is, if it's concerning me!! I'll order smthn for my friend but if I need to order for myself?? uhh stutter time aha). I'm also a mega simp ahah! Srsly though if I fall for someone/get infatuated with someone I. Will be so obvious abt it even though I try very hard not to be. Would gush over that person probably. I don't really like mean people tbh. Like yes I'll be nice and civil with them but!!! I cannot stand!!! Rude people!!! Esp when they're mean for no reason like sir??? maam??? homie??? chill pls ty<3 People who aren't necessarily mean, but moreso have bastard energy and are just really "hehe>:D" but playfully are p poggers tho!!! I think I get along with kids!! I have a little sister,, around like. Nine? And we get along really well!! I also try and match a kid's energy whenever I'm tasked with looking after them. I take pride in the fact that kids like me >:].... even if they sometimes scare me-- Ok, interest time!!
I like art!! Quite a bit!! Less of a realistic artist and more of a cartoonist!! Idk there's just something fun abt drawing cartoons, hehe. I also like self ships - I have quite a bit of them, actually ! Idk its comforting drawings your fictional crushes loving you idkidk. I like writing too! Both original stories, and one-shots or personal fics that are associated with already created media!! Writing character backstories and personalities and stuff is also fun too! I've even made my own fictional world with a full fledged backstory n everything! It's very fun to think about. I'm a day dreamer!!! Yea remember when I said I write stories? I day dream abt potential stories even more. Mmm daydream world so nice so warm so fun I read aswell!! Mostly fantasy books, or stories where animals are the protagonists. Think Warrior Cats. But my favorite book series has got to be Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Fantasy owl books, anyway! X Readers are also things I enjoy reading :) Again, s I m p Also gaming!!! Is something fun I do sometimes!!! Although it's usually Genshin Impact, or Wii Sports/Resort w// my little sister. Oh, also pokemon! I rlly like Primarina, Vaporeon, Sylveon and Vulpix/Ninetails! I absolutely adore sweet foods, and baking is smthn I'm def interested in! Don't like foods w// weird textures though, like beans or mashed potatoes. Also I. Love spice so much. Mmm love it when my mouth burns so bad. Don't have a favorite animal but I've had three cats in my lifetime (btw not important but my current cat is named Sylvester and. He's my baby boy) so I am. A very big cat fan. Probably not needed but I really like sword and claymore characters. Literally all of the characters I main are either sword or claymore users. Although I did get Diona, so I miiight start forcing myself to learn how to aimmm. I see that I tend to like people/characters that are a little more extroverted than me. Upbeat, happy type beat!!! Nice sunshine babies, :) I think thats it! I hope this was good enough? Again, first time doing this (at 2am nonetheless) so forgive me if I got too rambly or did anything wrong ^^ Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this! And I hope your day is good / you had a good day, depending on when you read this, ehe!
Hey! Sorry if the wait has been long! I also love Warrior Cats (I promise myself, one day I'll finish it.)
You received... A Pyro vision! Optimistic, enthusiastic, impulsive, reckless, and a lot of energy are the general characteristics held by the Pyro vision. • I hesitated between the Pyro and Hydro vision, but your energy distinguishes you from the Hydro vision. • You said you were impulsive, always doing something you might regret later but still doing it. • You react quickly: as you said, if somebody hurt someone you love, you won't think twice before barking. Your partner would be... Xingqiu! “This feeling was unexpected.” • At first, you were just friends, and Xingqiu really loved to tease you. Actually, you both teased each other. But eventually, a feeling of love towards you grew into Xingqiu. And that was reciprocated. • Your relationship is filled with teases, jokes, and good/funny moments where you mostly share what you commonly appreciate. • He also knows when to get serious: for example, he does everything to support you during your moments of struggle concerning your self-esteem. Your friend would be... Childe! “Luckily, I'm here!” • You two also share funny moments, especially during situations where your “stupidity” is overtaken by his insight. • Sometimes, he finds you cute. • He likes the fact that you get along well with kids. It leads you to great moments with him and his siblings. • You're quite the opposite in terms of self-esteem. I think it's a good thing because it makes you complementary. Your enemy would be... Albedo! A misunderstanding. • You wouldn't hate each other, but I think Albedo wouldn't like the way you use your energy, and when you're more in a chill mood (meaning you're more available for him to talk), he could get pissed at how much times he'd have to repeat himself for you to understand something. • He's very patient, but he understood quickly that his interests would maybe not be within your reach. • You would just be too different. Worth to mention • You and Venti are like drama queens in Mondstadt. You are good friends. But you both know that you can't be more, as it would eventually both drag you down (because of similar problems). • Klee is also your best friend: both of you share decisions that you definitely will regret later. Or maybe not. • Hu tao and you are kinds of silently competing over who's the best tease, and she beats you. My goal is definitely not achieved. I hope I can catch up tomorrow. And don't worry, it was surprisingly good for a first description!

Tumblr media
"Youngjo, I got your food!"
You push your way into the recording studio, where Youngjo had told you he would be waiting for you, and for dinner. You haven't seen your best friend in almost a whole week, because he's been so busy preparing for ONEUS's upcoming comeback, but you finally managed to organize a time to hang out.
Tonight, he had said over the phone, at the recording studio. For dinner and maybe hanging out and relaxing after a hard day of work.
But now that you're here, you find his usual spot in his chair is empty.
"Huh?" You glance around the table. "He isn't at the dorm, is he? He said we'd meet here, right? Did he go to the dorm?" you ask yourself out loud.
His bag is on the floor, so he can't have gone home. Unless he forgot all of his stuff here, which isn't likely. He's usually more responsible than that, and it would be difficult to forget everything at the studio without noticing. You take out your phone to text him, opening texts and clicking on his icon. 
Suddenly, someone grabs your shoulder with a "boo!" and you yell in surprise, turning around with your hands up in a fighting stance, only to be faced with Youngjo himself, smiling like an idiot, looking so proud of himself for scaring you.
"Oh my gosh, Youngjo, you scared me," you say, lowering your hands. He laughs.
"Good to see you too." He hugs you tightly, and as he lets go and pulls away, his hands linger on your shoulders. This isn't a rare occurrence. They linger the same way his eyes often linger on yours a bit too long after you finish a conversation.
You've felt the tension between the two of you before. You and Youngjo practically grew up together. You know him like the back of your hand, and you're sure that Youngjo knows you that well, too. You know that you both feel something more than platonic feelings toward each other.
And yet, despite the feelings that you are almost useless that you both have, you two are just friends. You don't know why. Perhaps it's laziness. You're both so comfortable in friendship, and you love having Youngjo as a friend and you're somewhat worried that something romantic would ruin that. Or perhaps it has to do with busy-ness. Youngjo is a music producer, an idol. He's always busy, working tirelessly. You don't want tk be a distraction in his already busy life.
"I brought food," you say, lifting up the bag of takeout between you.
He smiles, says "Thank you, Y/Nie," and takes the bag, gesturing for the chair next to the desk before he sits down in his own chair. He sets the bag down and smiles at you.
"Are you the only one here?"
Youngjo shakes his head. "I think Seoho might still be here."
"How're comeback preparations going?" you ask.
"Things have been going well. Most of everything is done, we just have finishing touches left and, of course, filming," he says. "But things are well. We're prepared."
"And how are you?" you ask. Youngjo sighs, leaning back in his chair.
"Nervous."
"I know you are," you say. He usually is anxious for comebacks. He, and the rest of his members, work so hard every time, and he typically spends a lot of time perfecting everything, worrying if it's good enough for ToMoon. "I'm sure the album is great, Youngjo. Your music always is."
He smiles. "Thank you, Y/Nie. What'd you get?" he asks, reaching for the bag of takeout.
"Some spicy ramyeon. The kind I know you like."
He smiles sweetly, and you feel very proud of yourself for making him smile like that. You love his smile. You grew up with that smile. As kids, you would make each laugh every day with stupid jokes and fun kid games.
"Do you want some?" he asks, lifting the bowl toward you. You shake your head.
"I'm okay, I already ate," you say, but the smell of the food makes your mouth water anyway.
He pouts. "But you walked all the way here. I know you're a little hungry."
You stare down at the box of spicy ramyeon. It looks so good. And what you ate earlier today wasn't actually very filling, now that you think about it . . .
"Maybe I'll have a bit."
He smiles. "I knew you'd want some." He gathers the noodles on his chopsticks and raises it up for you. "Open up!"
You laugh a bit. You've been feeding each other since you were kids, so this isn't out of the ordinary. But now that you're both adults, it kind of feels silly and childish. Not in a bad way, but in a fun way. It brings you back to the times when you and Youngjo would sit in the grass and feed each other ice cream on hot summer days.
Youngjo feeds you a bit of the ramyeon. He offers you more but you politely decline. As he continues to eat, you two talk about anything and everything. How your work is going, what's happening with the other ONEUS members, what's going on with each of your respective families (you both say nothing much). As you two talk and talk, you find your eyes drifting back to the half empty bowl of ramyeon.
You're still hungry.
"Do you want to have some more?" Youngjo asks, noticing you staring at it so longingly.
"Yes please." You nod.
He chuckles and grabs the chopsticks and feeds you again, the same way. The noodles dangling from the chopsticks barely make it to your mouth, and you barely catch them. While the two of you are giggling, the noodles halfway in your mouth, the door creaks open. You nearly fall backward in your chair as you and Youngjo look at the intruder.
Lee Seoho stands in the doorway, one hand on the doorknob as he looks at you, a couple noodles hanging from your mouth. Embarrassed, you quickly cover your mouth with your hand and slurp up the noodles.
"Y/Nie," Seoho says, his voice cheerful and sweet. If you weren't peeking at him over your eyes, you'd still be able to hear the smile on his face. He's clearly amused by the sigh of you with noodles hanging from your lips.
"Hi Seoho," you say. Youngjo hands you a napkin, which you use to dab away at the drips on your chin. Seoho watches with a wide smile on his face, amused by your appearance.
"You two are cute," Seoho says. His smile softens a bit. "Youngjo, just so you know, I'll be heading to the dorm in about an hour, if you need anything."
"Okay, thanks."
"You two are cute," Seobo repeats. You roll your eyes, but Youngjo scolds him, twisting around in his chair to completely face Seoho.
"Hey! Don't you have a dance to practice?"
"Sorry," Seoho squeaks, giggling as he backs out the door and shuts it behind him.
"Anyway, would you like a sneak peak of a song?" Youngjo asks. He puts the empty take-out box and trash in the take-out bag to throw away later.
"Sure!"
He smiles widely and grabs the headphones from the table. He holds them up to you, and pauses.
"I can only show you a few seconds because too many spoilers isn't a good idea, if that's okay,"  he says. You nod. "Good."
You listen to the start of the title track, 'To Be Or Not To Be'. The beat is nice, and the music is a real vibe. But after ten seconds of the intro he moves to the chorus of the song. Ten seconds. Pause. He removes the headphones.
"What do you think?" he asks expectantly.
"I love it!" you say. "I mean, you only showed me about twenty seconds of the song, but from what I heard, it was awesome! I loved the beat, and the vocals were great! I heard some of your voice in there, Ravn. It sounds amazing."
He smiles proudly, and you swear his eyes are shining. "Thank you, Y/Nie!"
You can't help but smile. He's always loved the compliments. He doesn't usually tell you that he likes the praise, but you can tell from his smiles of pride he displays whenever you tell him he did a good job always makes you feel giddy inside. It's been this way since you two were kids.
"I'll show you one more," he says, obviously overcome by his joy.
He hands you the headphones again and plays the song. This beat is significantly different from the title track, and when he skips to the chorus, the beat is different. Surprising, but still really enjoyable and satisfying.
"Youngjo!" you yell a little louder than intended due to the music playing so loudly into your ears. He looks at you, that cute smile still spread over his face. "This one's really lovely, too!"
"Thank you! I knew you'd like it!" he yells back, amused with your volume. He lifts his hands and takes the headphones off of your head.
"Oh, was I loud?" you ask, voice lowered now that the headphones have been removed.
Youngjo laughs. "Yes, a little bit."
"Ah, sorry."
"No, no. It's ok."
Oh gosh, his wide smile is seriously to die for. Whenever he smiles at you like that, with his starry eyes, your heart beats ten times faster and you can't help but smile back. The same way he can't help but beam like the sun when you praise him.
"Oh, what time is it . . . ?" you ask, checking your phone.
"Oh right. You said you have to leave at 10:30, right? You have a meeting before work, right?"
"Mhm." You open your phone, squinting at the clock. "Ah! It's 10:43! I should get going," you say, standing up and gathering what little you brought for yourself. You grab the trash-filled take-out bag as well. "I'll throw this away on the way out."
"Okay. Need any help?"
You shake your head as you approach the door.
"Alright then. See you later, Y/Nie!"
"Bye, Youngjo!"
You close the door behind you as you exit the studio. As you make your way down the hall, you pause. Seoho should still be here for another ten minutes. Maybe you should say bye to him, too?
You head to the practice room you would usually find him in. Inside, you see him through the glass door, taking a drink of water, and you knock on the door. Seoho looks over in surprise before smiling widely and waving you inside. You enter and walk over to him, glancing around the room.
"I was just getting ready to go," Seoho says. "How are you, Y/Nie?"
"I'm well," you say as Seoho gathers his things. "Kind of busy with work and all. I have a meeting early tomorrow morning, which is why I'm leaving now."
"Ah, I see. What's that?" Seoho asks, nodding to the plastic bag in your hand.
"Oh, it's trash. I brought Youngjo some take-out because he'll be working so late tonight, and I'm taking the trash on my way out," you explain.
"I'll come with you. I'm leaving too, anyway, so I can walk with you and we can catch up."
"Alright, I'd like that."
He finishes gathering his stuff--water bottle, spare shoes--and walks with you outside. The night air is cool, and you shiver a bit. But it's not cold. You smile, feeling the coolness on your cheeks.
"It's been a while since I've seen you, what with all of the chaos of pre-comeback preparations. It's nice to see you Y/Nie."
"Yeah, it's nice to see you too, Seoho." You smile. "Are you excited for the comeback?"
He nods cutely. "Mhm. Excited and nervous."
"I'm sure. I listened to a bit of 'To Be Or Not To Be' and another one."
"Oh, did you?" he asks, eyebrow raised. You two reach the dumpster in the alleyway behind the RBW building, and you toss the bag of trash away as you nod.
"Which side track did you listen to?" he asks.
"Youngjo didn't tell me the name, but it went like this." You hum the tune, and Seoho claps joyfully.
"Oh yes, that one. 'Dizzy'!" he says.
"Oh! You and CyA contributed to 'Dizzy', right?" you ask. "Lyrics and composing."
"Yep!" Seoho laughs. "How did you like them?"
"They sound great. I heard your voice in the chorus of 'To Be Or Not To Be', and you did amazingly!" you say. "Youngjo only showed me tiny parts, but I can't wait to hear the full versions and the rest of the album. As for 'Dizzy', I could definitely feel your vibe."
"I can't wait for you to hear them," Seoho says. He thinks for a bit. "Y/Nie, the six of us are going to be filming tomorrow and the day after. You should come on Thursday to cheer us on."
"That sounds like a fun idea," you say, smiling. "I'll get to hear more of the title track then. I'll see if I can make it, what with work and all."
"Alright. Let me know and I'll text you details."
"Okay. Bye Seoho-ya," you say. You start walking away before pausing and turning back to him and giving him a tight hug. You pull away and smile up at him. He smiles back.
"Bye Y/Nie!"
"Bye!"

《 Series Masterlist // ONEUS Masterlist // Boy Group Masterlist 》
Tumblr media
This morning, you went to work early. But after work finally ended, you are on your way to RBW to congratulate ONEUS on their comeback. You'd listened to the album as soon as it came out the other evening. You had wanted to text Youngjo--and the other members--to tell them how much you loved it, but you figured they'd be too tired to talk. So you decided to wait until tonight instead.
You blink. You haven't talked to Youngjo since he came over to your apartment the other day, when you had accidentally and impulsively kissed him on the cheek. He had sent a series of kiss emojis after, but other than that, you and him kind of ended on unknown terms. You think things are fine, but you can only guess.
You arrive at RBW and walk upstairs, wondering where you might be able to find the members. You start by heading upstairs and going to their usual practice rooms. The first practice room is empty and the lights are out. You can hear music from the next practice room, so you decide to check there.
You knock on the door, and the music stops. The door opens, and a trainee stands there smiling. You don't know her name, but you recognize her. You don't know where from. Perhaps you met in the hallway once. Or the lunch room.
"Oh, Y/Nie," she says, and you feel bad for not knowing her name. "If you're looking for any of the ONEUS members, they're in Ravn's recording studio. I think they're monitoring their performance from earlier today."
"Oh, thank you," you say, smiling. "Bye!"
"Bye!"
You make your way toward the recording studio, walking through familiar hallways. There are few people around the hallways right now. Most of the employees should be home right now, as it's later in the evening. Everyone here should be working and doing things in rooms.
You stand in front of the door to the recording studio and take a deep breath. Last time you saw Youngjo, you kissed him on the cheek impulsively. Then you think back further. Last time you saw Seoho, you rejected his confession. He had said you were still friends, but you worry that things might be weird.
You place your hand on the doorknob and brace yourself. If someone were to come into the hallway, they'd just see you staring at the door for much longer than necessary. You need to go inside. That's why you came, isn't it? To congratulate them on their comeback.
You open the door quietly and stand right inside the doorway. You see all of the ONEUS members sitting around the table at the other end of the room. Youngjo is sitting farthest from the door, his eyes on the computer on the table along with everyone else's, their performance playing on screen.
Seoho looks over at you, the only one to notice you entering. He smiles at you, waves, and then taps Youngjo's shoulder. Youngjo looks at him, and Seoho gestures over to you. Youngjo follows his gaze until his eyes fall on you, and a wide smile spreads across his face, making you feel warm and happy inside.
Seoho nudges Youngjo with his shoulder and says something to him. Youngjo nods, says something, and stands up, smiling at you as he walks over quickly and hugs you tightly, lifting you up a bit as he squeezes you tight.
"Hi," you say, hugging him back.
"Hi, Y/Nie," he says as he sets you down and avoids your eyes, but you don't miss his nervous energy and his smile.
"Cute!"  Keonhee coos. "They look like a couple."
"Get married already!" Hwanwoong yells.
"Can we go outside?" Youngjo asks. You tilt your head curiously.
"Sure," you say. "Why?"
He looks you in the eyes and slides his hand into yours. You swear your heart skips a beat as you allow him to pull you into the hallway. He closes the door behind him and looks around to ensure that the hallway is empty. After a moment, his gaze settles back on you as his hands settle to hold both of yours.
"Hi," he says again, almost breathlessly. And you feel like the sight of him is also breathtaking. His hair and makeup are done up for a performance, since the group just finished up performing earlier today.
"Hi," you say again. "What's happening?" you ask, gesturing to the scenario. He laughs a bit.
"Honestly, I don't know how to answer that," he says. He pauses, thinking of something to say. "Have . . . have you listened to it yet?"
"The album? Yeah," you say. "It's amazing, Youngjo. 'To Be Or Not To Be' is gorgeous. They all are. You guys seriously outdid yourselves. And I knew you'd do amazing."
He smiles and squeezes your hands. It's not like he's never done this before. Growing up together as best friends, you're used to it. But here and now, it feels more intimate than usual. "I couldn't have done it without my best friend and members by my side," he says. 
You smile. He's staring at you so deeply and affectionately, you swear you can see stars in his eyes. Unconsciously, you weave your fingers into his.
"Y/N," he says, inhaling sharply. "I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Yeah?"
"I mean--" He pauses, glancing around the hallway to make sure, once again, that you two are the only ones in the hallway. "Do you . . . want to go somewhere more private?"
You shake your head. "No one else is out here, Youngjo. If you want to, we can, though."
He shakes his head. "No, no. It's okay." He looks anxious, so you squeeze his hands gently to reassure him. "Y/Nie. We've been friends since we were kids."
You laugh a bit. "Youngjo, is this a confession?"
His ears go bright red, and he laughs a bit. "Maybe . . . ?"
"Well, if it was a confession, I would tell you I feel the same."
He smiles, his hands lifting to wrap around your waist and pull you against him in a hug. "Good. Then this is a confession."
"Well then, Youngjo," you say. "I feel the same way."
He smiles, humming. "So will you be mine?" he asks, and you swear your heart melts.
You nod excitedly. "Yeah. Yes."
He smiles widely and brightly. Earlier, you could see stars in his smile, but now you can see the entire Milky Way in his eyes.
He looks like he's about to say something, but you're interrupted by the door next to you opening suddenly.
You and Youngjo jump back away from the door as Seoho and Keonhee poke their heads out to look at you.
"You finally did it!" Seoho cheers, clapping excitedly. "You finally confessed!"
"Were you two listening through the door the whole time?" Youngjo asks, his tone scolding.
"Well . . ." Keonhee says, "All five of us were listening."
Youngjo rolls his eyes. "You kids. Go back inside, we'll be a couple more minutes."
The two disappear back into the room, snickering, and Youngjo rolls his eyes.
"I suppose those two deserved to spy and listen," Youngjo sighs. "After all, if it wasn't for Seoho, I wouldn't have had the courage to confess today."
"What?" You frown. Seoho? "What do you mean?"
"Well, after I came home from your house the other day, I found Seoho was still awake. I told him about what happened, you kissing my cheek and everything." You feel your cheeks grow warm with embarrassment as he continues. "He told me I have to confess to you next time I see you. Seoho insisted that you felt the same."
"Oh." You nod, smiling to yourself. You think back to when Seoho confessed to you, and after you told him you liked Youngjo instead, he said he'd help and support you. The first thing he did after was get Youngjo to confess to you. "That's . . . sweet of him."
"I know. He's a good friend," Youngjo says, smiling. "Shall we go inside?"
"Sure."
Youngjo takes your hand and you re-enter the room, Youngjo following closely behind. You wave at the five members sitting around the table, who are all smiling smugly at you.
"Hi guys," you say. "Congrats on the comeback! It's so amazing!"
"Thank you, Y/Nie," Geonhak says.
"Are you and Youngjo finally together now?" Dongju asks excitedly. He notices your hand holding Youngjo's and smiles wider, clapping. "You are! I always knew it'd happen!"
You feel your face heating up from embarrassment, but Youngjo gives your hand a reassuring squeeze. You look over at him, and he's smiling softly at you.
"Do you want to watch our performance from earlier?" he asks. You nod, and he has you sit in his chair, next to Seoho while he stands next to you. He unpauses the video and you watch them dance on stage. Through the video, Youngjo moves over to the other side of the group to watch from a different perspective, smiling over at you every few seconds.
Partway through the video, you nudge Seoho softly with your elbow.
"I heard you talked Youngjo into confessing?" you whisper. He nods. "Thank you. You know, you didn't have to do that. After what happened the other day . . ."
"Y/Nie," he says, quietly enough for only you to hear. "I told you I'd help you. And honestly I love you and Youngjo both as my friends, regardless of my feelings for you. What could be better than two of my best friends being happy together?" he says. You're speechless. How can you respond to that?
"Thank you, Seoho," you say. You breathe in, wanting to ask the question that's been on your mind. "Does Youngjo know?"
"That I like you? No. I couldn't tell him." Seoho shakes his head. "It would make him feel somewhat conflicted about being with you. But you and Youngjo are perfect together. Really, you two being happy makes me happy. I'll happily be both of you guys' wingman."
You laugh a bit. "Thank you, Seoho. I appreciate it."
The video ends, and Youngjo returns to your side. He hugs you from behind, resting his chin on top of your head. As the other members start talking about the stage--what went well and what they need to work on--Youngjo pulls you out of the chair and leans against the wall, his hands holding yours tight as he stares at you like you're the only person in the room besides him.
"Hey," he hums, smiling brightly. His eyes are sparkling. "You know . . . we haven't gone on a first date."
"I agree. But, I mean, technically we've only been together for a few minutes," you say. He laughs.
"I know. But we've known each other our entire lives. And I've liked you for way too many years. I want to go on a date with you," he says, a playful pout on his lips.
"Me too. We should go on one early tomorrow morning, before your scheduled day," you say. "We can go to that ice cream shop we went to on your thirteenth birthday," you suggest. "And then we could go for a walk or something."
"That would be lovely," Youngjo hums. You look up at him, meeting his eyes. His smile is as bright as the sun, and you really can see galaxies, the Milky Way, all of the stars in the sky there, settled in his eyes.

《 Series Masterlist // ONEUS Masterlist // Boy Group Masterlist 》
Tumblr media
You carry a plastic bag with you as you head into the RBW building. You hadn't told the members that you were coming, hoping to surprise them after a long week of practice. It's been a few days since Geonhak's birthday, a busy yet fun day. At some point, later at night after dinner, Geonhak had pulled you aside to talk about learning the next song--Twilight--and in your excitement, you wanted to come to practice early.
A trainee in the hallway nods to you. You've spent enough time here that you know most of everyone at RBW. You're friends with ONEUS and ONEWE. You're close with quite a few of the trainees, and you've even met the members of MAMAMOO.
You stop in front of the practice room again. The music is playing gently in the background, but instead of being accompanied by the sounds of dancing footsteps, it's accompanied by laughter and chatter.
You place your hand on the doorknob and poke your head in. The six members are sitting in a circle, chatting about who knows what. Something about a new song or something.
"Hello?" you say, knocking on the doorframe. They look over at you, and you hold out the bag of food. "I got you guys some food, if you guys want it."
"Y/N!"
Dongju runs to you, and you expect a hug. Instead, he takes the bag of food from your hand and sits back down in his spot between Keonhee and Hwanwoong, and the three start digging through the bag.
"Wow, I thought you'd be happy to see me, not the food," you say, laughing. Geonhak, across the circle, scoots aside and beckons you to come sit in the newly made spot between him and Youngjo. You do, and smile over at him.
"Excited for practice today?" he asks quietly, smiling widely. "You've got Lit all the way done. And Valkyrie is most of the way there. We should be able to start with Twilight today."
You clap gently, very excited. Geonhak chuckles and smiles his cute, nose-scrunchy smile.
"Geonhak," Keonhe says. "Come with me to finish heating the food."
Geonhak sighs, before getting up.
"I'm excited for this afternoon," you say to him as he leaves.
Hwanwoong looks up from the takeout in his hands, from the other side of the circle. "What's going on this afternoon?"
"Oh, I'm gonna start learning Twilight with Geonhak."
"Oh right! I forgot you're dancing with Geonhak. How's that going?" Hwanwoong asks excitedly. "What have you learned so far, Y/Nie?"
"Geonhak has taught me A Song Written Easily, Lit, and I'm almost done learning Valkyrie."
"Oh?" Youngjo asks. "You should show us what you have done for A Song Written Easily. Let's see how good of a teacher Geonhak is."
You stand up, and Seoho plays the song from his phone. You start dancing along with the music, recalling Geonhak's movements as you watch yourself in the mirror. The members in the room--Yongjo, Seoho, Hwanwoong and Dongju--clap and cheer you on.
Once you finish, you bow as they applaud you.
"That was great," Hwanwoong says. "Geonhak's a good teacher, hm?"
"Yes, he is."
"I'm not surprised. And it shows. You dance like you've been doing it for a long time," Hwanwoong says.
"You said you're working on Valkyrie?" Seoho says. You nod. "Why don't you show us, and we give you some pointers?"
"Alright."
You dance as Seoho plays the song from his phone.
"At that part," Hwanwoong says. "You should bend your front knee more. It'll make it easier to move on to the next part."
You nod, continuing the dance.
As you reach the end of the song, your right hand stretched upward, the members clap for you. You sit back down, smiling from all of the attention.
"So, how'd you manage to get Geonhak to teach you right before our comeback?" Hwanwoong asks.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm just curious about how you got Geonhak to teach you," Hwanwoong says, eyebrow raised.
"Well," you say, "I asked Geonhak because I was too nervous to ask you, actually."
"What? We're friends, aren't we?"
"Yes, but back then we weren't as close as we are now." You laugh at the thought. "But now we're much closer."
"Hey, I'm still open to teaching you if you're interested, Y/N," Hwanwoong says. You open your mouth. Would it be rude to reject him?
But Geonhak is already teaching you.
The sound of a door closing echoes through the room, but you're too focused on the conversation to notice it.
Suddenly, Dongju smacks Hwanwoong's arm and whispers something in his ear. Hwanwoong looks from the door to you.
"Or not. Geonhak seems to be doing a great job at teaching you already, you know," he says quickly. You nod.
"Yeah. Thanks for the offer, though."
Keonhee walks over and hands out the snacks, small tubs of food. He hands you one and you frown.
"Where's Geonhak?" you ask Keonhee.
"He said he was going to the restroom," Keonhee says. He seems to want to say more, but doesnt.
As the ONEUS practice comes to a close, Geonhak doesn't appear. You ask Youngjo, and he seems as concerned as you. The rest of the members pack up to go to their respective spaces after practice ends. Youngjo heads to the studio, and Hwanwoong, Dongju and Keonhee pack up to head to the dorm. Geonhak is nowhere to be found.
Seoho taps your shoulder.
"If Geonhak doesn't show up," he says, "I'll be two rooms down, and Youngjo is in the studio. If you need either of us, feel free to interrupt either of us. Okay?"
"Thank you," you say. He waves goodbye and leaves the room. You're left alone in the practice room.
You pace back and forth. You still have ten minutes until your practice technically starts. Perhaps he went to get an extra snack for the two of you. Maybe he had to get something from the dorm.
But as the minutes pass, you remain alone in the practice room. Five minutes, then ten minutes past the start of your practice together, you're sitting with your back against the wall.
You take out your phone and call Geonhak. He doesn't pick up. You call again, and he doesn't pick up. The third time you call, the phone rings for a long time, and just as you're about to hang up, the other end picks up.
"Hello?" Geonhak's voice is muffled by the phone, but you'd recognize his voice anywhere.
"Geonhak," you say, breathless with stress yet relieved that he picked up. "Where the hell are you? Our practice started ten minutes ago."
There's a long pause. Or at least, it feels long. "Why don't you ask Hwanwoong to teach you?"
"What?" You pause for a moment, trying to figure out what's going on. "Geonhak . . ."
"You know what? I'm feeling a bit sick, I'm going to hang up. Bye."
He hangs up, and you're left alone in your thoughts.
What the hell?
You want to curl up. What is all this about? Geonhak is obviously mad at you for something, but as you think through the day, nothing comes up.
You sniff and wipe your eyes. Your hand comes away wet, and you realize that you're crying.
You stand up, sniffling, and sluggishly make your way out of the practice room, down the hall, and knock on the door to your right. The door to the studio opens up, and Seoho is standing beside the door, hand on the doorknob. Further into the room, Youngjo is sitting in front of the computer. 
"Y/N?" Youngjo asks, leaning away from the computer. "Are you okay? Aren't you in practice with Geonhak?"
You look between them, and Seoho's face falls. He can tell from the sullen look on your face. You two might not be super close, but he still knows you.
"He didn't come," Seoho concludes. His voice sounds as sad as yours. He opens his arms. "Come here."
You hug him, and for some reason, you're crying into Seoho's chest. You don't see Youngjo and Seoho exchange worried glances.
"Do you want to sit down, Y/Nie?" Seoho asks, gesturing to the chairs against the back wall. You nod and sit with him. He hugs you and pats your back gently.
You hear clicking and look up. Youngjo is pressing things on his phone furiously.
"What are you doing?" you ask.
"Calling Geonhak."
You stare at him as he holds his phone to his ear.
"Geonhak, where are you?" he scolds into the phone. There's a pause. "Y/N is waiting for you, why aren't you here? You need to come back. No  Geon--Geonhak! You can't just do that to them." He pauses, and then his voice softens. "They're in the studio with me and Seoho. Geonhak, what's going on with you? Geonhak!"
He takes his phone away from his ear and sighs.
"Youngjo . . . what'd he say?" you ask.
"He told me he's at the dorm. He's not coming back. He didn't say why."
You nod. At this point, you just want to know why Geonhak isn't here. Why he's mad at you like this. You two have argued before, you've been friends for years. So what could you have possibly done to make him suddenly leave you?
Or is this him getting back at you for the one time you left him during practice, because he got too close to you?
"That stubborn kid . . ." Youngjo looks at you and pauses. "The youngest three should be at the dorm by now. I'll ask Keonhee to check on him."
He types a text to Keonhee, then sets his phone aside. He turns his chair to face you.
"Are you okay, Y/N?" he asks gently. "I know these practices mean a lot to you. They mean a lot to Geonhak, too. I don't know what's wrong, but it's not your fault, okay?"
"Thank you, Youngjo. And Seoho," you say. "I don't know why he's upset at all. I think I did something but K don't know what."
"Wait, wait," Seoho says, thinking. "Geonhak disappeared right after you brought us snacks. You only saw him for a bit before he went to help Keonhee with the snacks, before he left. What could have happened in that time?"
You shake your head. You don't know.
Suddenly, Youngjo's phone rings. He picks it up quickly.
"Hello? Ah, Keonhee. He won't? What's he--oh. Please keep us updated, Okay Keonhee? Thank you." He pauses and whispers to you. "Geonhak won't say anything to them. He barely said hello when they walked into the room."
You want to find it comforting. That you're not the only one he's ignoring. You want to think that he might be mad at someone else, one of the members, but not you. But you have a feeling, deep down, that it has something to do with you.
"Y/Nie," Seoho says. "If you want, you can stay here. We'll walk you home after we finish, okay?"
"Okay," you say.
Tumblr media
Geonhak sits on his bed, phone in hand. He's watching music videos, listening to music, playing games, anything. Anything to distract him from you. But he can't help but think back to only a few hours ago at the end of the ONEUS practice.
He was so excited to teach you today. He'd practiced extra this morning, redoing the Twilight choreography a few times and figuring out the little things like positioning.
He was elated to see you come in early. He couldn't help but smile when he saw you, both in general and today.
When he had walked back into the room to hand out some of the snacks, he saw you talking to Hwanwoong.
"I asked Geonhak because I was too nervous to ask you, actually," he had heard you say through the crack in the door. He knew this already. You'd told him the same thing when you asked him to teach you. But he doesn't like hearing he was your second choice.
"What? We're friends, aren't we?" he had heard Hwanwoong say.
"Yes, but back then we weren't as close as we are now." Geonhak heard you laugh. He loved your laugh. But he didn't want to hear you laughing with Hwanwoong. "But now we're much closer."
"Hey, I'm still open to teaching you if you're interested, Y/N," Hwanwoong had said. Geonhak froze. Now that you and Hwanwoong were close, there was no need for you to reject him. After all, he was the main dancer.
Geonhak loved teaching you dancing. He loved teaching and being helpful, he loved spending time with you, and this was a combination of the two. But thinking that you could always Hwanwoong teach you instead . . .
Geonhak turned around, closing the door a bit louder than he had intended, and stepped back. Keonhee had nearly walked into him.
"Aren't you going inside?" Keonhee asked, frowning.
"I, uh, yeah. Take these, please, I have to go to the restroom," Geonhak had said, handing Keonhee the food. He walked past him and headed down the hall, straight back to the dorm.
All he could think of was Hwanwoong teaching you instead of him. Hwanwoong offered to teach you, why would you refuse when the whole reason you didn't ask him in the first place was because you were too shy, and now you're closer?
Tumblr media
"Geonhak?"
He looks over to the doorway, and Keonhee is standing there.
"Oh, you're home."
"Geonhak, are you okay? Are you feeling sick?" Keonhee asks.
He tries to think of a way to answer the question, but how to do that? No? Yes? He turns away from Keonhee.
"Let me know if you need anything."
After a moment, he hears Keonhee leave the room. He hears speaking in the other room. Dongju and Hwanwoong. Shouldn't he be glad that Hwanwoong is here instead of teaching you?
He starts to think of you again. You must be still with Youngjo and Seoho at RBW. You must be so mad at him for abandoning you before practice.
He's liked you for a long time. Long before he started teaching you dancing. He met you maybe four years ago, and he started thinking of you as more than a friend perhaps two years ago. You'd never seemed to feel the same way, and so he never acted on those feelings. But spending time with you, teaching you to dance, he thought maybe there was a chance that you might feel the same. That maybe you could be more than friends.
And then he'd heard Hwanwoong offering to teach you instead. He felt himself feeling absolutely crushed, absolutely deflated. So very jealous. He still feels that way, that he likes you so much and that to you, you're just friends.

Tumblr media
You arrive to practice with your mind buzzing. Hwanwoong had texted the Team B party planning group chat that today is the day where you would meet with Team A--Youngjo, Seoho and Keonhee--to finish planning Geonhak's birthday party next week. The meeting is only ten minutes after your practice with Geonhak ends, so you'll have to hurry to the ONEUS dorm after practice.
You open the door, and Geonhak is inside. A song that you don't recognize is playing, and Geonhak is dancing intensely, watching his own movements intensely as he dances this unfamiliar choreo. While the song isn't familiar, you known the voices of ONEUS well enough to guess that this is an upcoming song, or at least a work-in-progress.
Geonhak is so focused on the dance that he doesn't notice that you've walked in. His eyes are so focused on his own body in the mirror that he doesn’t see you enter. You laugh to yourself.
Payback for those times he's come in and watched me dancing without me knowing, you think. You sit down on the ground to stretch silently and watch him, impressed. His voice comes on in the song, and you have to prevent yourself from saying wow out loud. You admire the choreography, the way Geonhak's shoulders move.
Perhaps someday I'll learn this choreography, you think.
The song comes to a close, Geonhak throws his head back in exhaustion. He runs his hand through his hair, breathing heavily as he turns around.
He freezes in his tracks when he sees you sitting on the floor. His eyes widen in surprise, then he looks really shy, then he goes back to his normal self in a matter of seconds. "How long have you been here?"
"A bit. Your part is amazing. Was that the new title track?"
He lets out a chuckle. "Thank you. Yes, that was the new title track, coming out later. Do you like it?"
"I do. It's cool. Your dance is really pretty," you say.
Geonhak looks away from you. "Thanks. Let's finish up stretching, and decide what song you want to try next."
He sits down in front of you and watches you with a smile. His eyes on you make you look down at the floor for some reason. "So what song would you like to learn next? Another ONEUS song?"
You smile. "Of course."
"What songs did you have in mind?"
"I mean. Lit is a fun one. Valkyrie, too. Twilight. Zigzag--"
"You've just named all of our title tracks, Y/Nie!" Geonhak chuckles. "I have an idea. We can go with two songs. We'll spend the first two hours learning the first one, and then the second two learning the second one. How does that sound?"
"That sounds fun."
"Great," Geonhak says, humming. "What two songs would you like to try?"
You think for a long moment. "Can we do Lit?"
Geonhak smiles. "Sure. We'll do Lit first."
"Great!"
"Let's start with the pre-chorus this time," Geonhak says, standing in front of the mirror.
"So you're gonna start with your legs in sort of a front stance, turn all the way to your left and put your arm over your leg with your hand against the outside of your thigh. Like this."
You copy his stance. Arm over leg, facing the left wall. You glance at the mirror and make sure to adjust your knees and position.
"Good. Now, you're gonna twist your body in a loop, lean back, and lower your body to kneel like this with your left arm down--"
You immediately do the move, so you're kneeling like him. This move, you've seen and done so many times that it comes somewhat easier to you. You check the mirror and see that you're correct as he continues to demonstrate.
"--and then straighten your back quickly. Lift your right arm, eolssu, and then your left arm, eolssu."
You follow his demonstration closely, which isn't too hard. This song, you've tried to do in your living room, so while you're not good at it yet, you're certainly familiar with it.
"Good. Now," Geonhak says, "lift your back knee off of the ground. Shift your weight back to face the left side of the room again and now put both of your hands over your thigh in an X. Then lean back, and slide your hands behind your back and down with the beat."
You nod, copying the movements.
After a couple hours of learning the rest of the pre-chorus and the chorus, and after taking a ten minute break, Geonhak starts teaching you Valkyrie, starting with the pre-chorus.
"Face the right wall, and put your hand back like this, palm up. You're going to have your right toes and your left heel facing toward the front of the room and off of the ground, so that your feet are positioned in a V."
You copy him. It takes you a minute to get your feet positioned correctly, but Geonhak waits patiently with a smile on his face.
The end of practice nears, and you and Geonhak sit down to stretch together. You look up from your stretches to smile back at Geonhak, and your eyes land on the clock on the wall behind him.
"Oh, shit," you mutter, quickly getting up from your stretches. You start scooping up your stuff. "I have to go."
"What? So soon?" he asks.
"Yes, Dongju's waiting for me," you say.
"Dongju?"
You blink, realizing what you said wrong.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I have a, uh, a doctor's appointment, and Dongju's taking me."
"Oh." He looks sad. "Take care! See you soon."
As you reach the door, you frown. "Aren't you going to be heading home?" you ask. Geonhak shakes his head.
"No. I have . . . some extra stuff to do."
"Okay. Bye, Geonhak," you say. He smiles softly and waves goodbye. You wave back, before you run down  the hallway to change in the bathroom, before hurrying to the ONEUS dorm for the birthday party preparation meeting.
Tumblr media
You arrive and knock on the door and wait. Dongju opens the door after a moment and smiles.
"Y/N, you're almost late," he whispers.
"I was at practice with Geonhak! I had to change," you explain. Dongju rolls his eyes and drags you inside.
When you had pictured a surprise party meeting, you had imagined that the five members would have set up a space in the bedroom so that it'd be harder for them to be accidentally walked in on by Geonhak. However, they've simply set up at the dining table, Team A on the left and Team B on the right. Youngjo, Seoho and Keonhee are seated on Team A's side, with their phones on the table with notes. Hwanwoong sits on Team B's side with his phone open to the group chat. Dongju sits in the middle chair so you sit on his left, facing Keonhee.
"So," Youngjo says. "We have gathered here today to figure out how we want to celebrate Kim Geonhak's birthday before. We will have opening statements from Team A."
Keonhee opens his phone and clears his throat.
"Our plan for Kim Geonhak's birthday morning includes the following," he says, leaning forward in his chair. "We will spend time at either RBW or the dorm. We'll practice a bit, and then relax."
"Then," Seoho continues, "we will eat lunch at the dorm."
Team B applauds Team A, clapping as Youngjo, Seoho and Keonhee bow before sitting back down.
"That is all Team A has planned," Youngjo says. "We sort of . . . didn't spend as much time on this as you three. Now, Team B, your turn to present your proposal for the afternoon."
Hwanwoong stands up in his chair and clears his throat. "Hello. I am Yeo Hwanwoong of Team B. I am joined, today, by my colleagues Son Dongju and Y/N. Today, we will be presenting our proposal for the afternoon of Kim Geonhak's birthday celebration."
Seoho is laughing in amusement at how seriously Hwanwoong is taking this.
"Our plan includes snacks such as ice cream, sweets, fruits and small meat appetizers," Hwanwoong continues.
"We have multiple afternoon activities planned, including a random play dance, several guess-the-song challenges, and other music and dance related games. We are open for additional suggestions at any time. Then, for dinner, we will go out to that restaurant Geonhak loves so much."
"As for decoration plans," you say, "we propose a silver, gold, black and white color scheme, with streamers and balloons."
Keonhee starts the applause, followed by Seoho, then Youngjo. You, Dongju and Hwanwoong take your seats once again.
"Does anyone have any feedback or questions?" Youngjo asks. Keonhee raises his hand.
"Hwanwoong, what ice cream flavors will there be?" he asks.
"Rainbow Sherbet, Geonhak's favorite," Hwanwoong says. "Don't worry, Keonhee, I know all of ONEUS's favorites. They'll be there."
After questions conclude, you six decide roles for party set-up.
"Dongju, Y/N, can you two be in charge of decorations?" Youngjo asks. You both nod, and Dongju gives Youngjo a thumbs up.
Keonhee ends up in charge of making lunch with Hwanwoong. Seoho is in charge of finding and putting together the activities, and Youngjo ends up in charge of getting snacks. After all of the roles are decided, you all put your hands together.
"1! 2! 3! Let's go!"
As you all start cleaning up, you realize how late it is. The sky is dark, almost black.
"Why hasn't Geonhak come home? Shouldn't he have come sometime during the meeting?" you ask.
"No. He actually has to catch up with some practice choreography," Dongju explains. "He's started staying late for extra practice since he started teaching you."
You blink. "What?"
"Usually, after you head home, Geonhak stays at RBW practicing for hours on the new choreos. Since he spends so much time with you, he has to find extra time to do his own practices. And he also comes in early mornings to prepare for your practices. Has he not told you?"
You shake your head.
Dongju frowns for a bit, confused, before his expression morphs into something like shock or surprise.
"I . . . probably shouldn't have told you that then."
You frown. "What do you mean?"
Dongju waves the question aside. "Don't worry about it. Anyway, you should get some rest. Let me walk you home."
You and Dongju walk home comfortably, like you did with Geonhak a while ago. You think about what Dongju had said. Had Geonhak gone and practiced at RBW after dropping you off at your home? Has he really been coming in extra to catch up with the other members and prepare to help you?
"How's your practice with Geonhak going?" Dongju asks after a while.
"Oh, it's going really well," you say excitedly. "I just finished learning Geonhak's part in A Song Written Easily last practice, so now Geonhak is helping me learn Lit and Valkyrie."
Dongju is smiling widely. "You seem to be enjoying it a lot. Maybe as much as Geonhak is."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
He chuckles. "I know you very well, Y/N. I've known you for years. And I've rarely seen you this excited about something for this long. Often times, when you get excited by a hobby, but then your excitement dies down after a week or two. But it's been several weeks, and you're still smiling like a fool whenever you think about it."
You place your hand on your cheek and realize that they hurt from your smiling so hard and excited chattering about how practice has been.
"Geonhak, on the other hand. You should see him after he comes back to the dorms after practicing with you," Dongju continues. "Or even during our practices before practicing with you. He's always smiling like an idiot on your practice days."
You blink.
"Y/N. How do you feel about Geonhak?" Dongju asks after a moment. You stare at him, unsure of how to answer that question.
"I mean. I like him. He's my friend. He's a good dance teacher. He's kind and sweet and funny, just like the rest of you."
"But do you like him?" Dongju asks, emphasizing the word like.
You frown. "Why would you ask me that?" you ask. You don't have an answer, though. You think back to all of the butterflies that you've had, fluttering about in your stomach for the past few weeks. Maybe you do have an answer.
"Like I said, Y/N. I know you very well. There's definitely something going on in that head of yours, whether you know it or not," he says, poking your head gently. "I've seen you two interact. Just from hearing you talk just now, I can hear that there's something. Even if you don't know it."
You blink. "Dongju, I don't--"
"Oh look, we're here!" He stops, and you realize that you two are, in fact, right outside your door. Dongju smiles at you softly. "Go sleep, Y/N. Get some rest. I'll text you tomorrow to figure out a time to go decoration shopping for Geonhak's birthday, okay?"
You nod. "Okay."
He waves goodbye, and you sigh, watching him leave. As you turn to go inside, you turn over the past few minutes in your head. As you shower and get ready for bed, you continue to consider your feelings.
You don't like Geonhak like that.
Do you?
