-while mc’ing in music bank, you see what is possibly the prettiest girl on this planet, though it appears she doesn’t speak english. fortunately, you can bully a certain japanese member of yours into helping!

warnings: there’s a 99,9384838% chance the line in japanese is incorrect and i apologise for that 💔

genre: strangers to lovers

notes: i didn’t want to call it stranger! cocona so her last name is blueish

for quite a while now, you’ve had the pleasure of occasionally mc’ing on music bank with sullyoon. it was certainly an amazing experience, especially because you got along with the older girl so well.

you’re known as aespa’s youngest and you are one of the foreign members- an ’american’. you trained with yunjin (the american duo!), but you stayed to debut in the group when she left sm. you can safely say you’re both still besties, after all those years.

you just sat down in your chair, letting your stylist do her work with you, when sullyoon walked through the doors.

“yoona unnie!” you smiled at her happily. she waved at you softly, taking the unoccupied seat next to yours.

“are you excited, y/n-ah?” she cracked a smile when noticing how happy you looked. “i think it’s the first time we’ll be hosting xg, yes?”

“xg?” you hummed in thought, trying to look back at all the groups you hosted with the older girl. “i think i haven’t seen them ever.. what about you, unnie?”

“likewise. although i seem to remember kyujin mentioning something about them. i did listen to a couple songs though and i think they’re good!”

“really? i have to admit i only know left right because ning unnie was obsessed when it came out some time ago…” you laughed sheepishly. yoona smiled and rolled her eyes playfully.

she took out her phone and opened youtube. “let’s listen to the new songs then… they’ll be performing puppet show today i believe. would you like to watch the music video, y/n-ah?”

you denied her question with a soft shake of your head. “i’m good, unnie. i’ll have a surprise when i see them for the first time!”

sullyoon laughed along and played the song, letting stylist finish her work as you two were on in 10 minutes.

when the group walked to you and sullyoon to get their introduction filmed, you thought your heart would burst out of your chest.

for a brief second, you locked eyes with one of xg’s members and you had to physically stop yourself from squealing. the mere second felt like the greatest moment of your life.

sensing your state, sullyoon leaned to whisper in your ear. “are you okay, yn-ah? we’re starting in a minute.”

“i’m okay, unnie! j-just-“ you felt your cheeks heating up, and you could only hope your makeup would hide the redness.

“okay, everyone get into position!” the director yelled from behind the camera and you instinctively straightened your back.

sullyoon gave you a small, playful wink, before she started the introduction.

“gigi unnie!” you yelled, running into the dorms out of breath. during the whole transmission you were a little out of it and when you finally finished, you drove back to your group as fast as you could.

“what?” giselle peaked out from behind the counter where she seemed to be stirring herself some food.

“unnie!” you ran up to her and you had to lean on the table to catch your breath.

aeri giggled at your state and patted your head gently. “what’s up, y/nie? how was music bank with yoona?”

“good. great! not important. unnie, you speak japanese right?”

giselle stopped laughing and looked at you like you’ve grown a second head. “y/n, i am japanese.”

“perfect. hear me out, you know xg?”

“i think ning was obsessing over one of their songs a couple months ago… why?” she squinted at you when she noticed your eyes shining brightly in excitement. “what are you planning now?”

“so i was mc’ing with sullyoon unnie and theprettygirlscameandtheywereallprettybutilookedoneofthemintheeyesandshewassoprettyomgandshedidntspeakmuchonlyinjapaneseand-!”

“woah!” she interrupted your rant. “i don’t speak gibberish, y/nnie. can you repeats that, slower?”

“i was mc’ing! and xg came and omg!! and i caught eye contact with that pretty one and, and when we were recording she didn’t talk much, only in japanese! so i think she doesn’t speak korean or english all that much, and i don’t know japanese!”

“…and? you need me to teach you another language?”

“no! i need you to talk with her and set us up!” you made puppy eyes at the japanese member and pouted. “please?? pretty please??? with a cherry on top??”

giselle rolled her eyes halfheartedly but nodded her head. “whatever, i’ll talk to this girl i guess what’s her name?”

“what?”

“…y/n, the girls name? how am i supposed to talk to her?”

all colour drained from your face and aeri couldn’t hold herself from laughing. it turned out you had another barrier to overcome besides language.

what can’t you do with a little bit of browsing through the internet, right? kprofiles may not be the greatest source of information but when you just needed to put a name to a face, it was enough.

then, your plan was in action. back when you and yunjin were sm trainees, she was rooming with winter chaehyun. digging more through the web (you might’ve at this point became one of the stan accounts with the research you’d done on twitter), you found one of kep1er’s members was training with the xg girls at some point.

she had to have the girls number, or any sort of contact for that matter.

you just had to bug yunjin into giving you chaehyun’s number and then somehow get her to give you the girl’s contact info without sounding creepy… simple enough, right?

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

yeah, not really.

you were now one step closer to getting the girls number. you were now one step closer to getting the girls number. getting a girl’s contact info from another girl whom you didn’t know was totally normal and not suspicious.

totally.

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

giselle couldn’t stop laughing when you presented her all the information you acquired, and the things you had to do in order to complete your task.

“can’t believe you harassed a stranger to get this cocona’s number.” she chucked before typing the contact info into her phone.

you stood there, looking at her expectantly, making her quirk her brow. “what?”

“aren’t you going to call her, unnie?”

“no? i’m going to introduce myself and hope she doesn’t think it’s creepy.” seeing as she had a fair point, you deflated a little, a pout tugging at your lips.

“i hope she doesn’t think i’m creepy… i just think she’s very pretty…”

giselle’s gaze softened slightly at your words and she smiled at you. “i’m sure it’ll be fine… although i would find you creepy if you did that to me.”

“yah! unnie!”

“i’m joking! …no i’m not.”

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

clearly the gay gods were on your side because the pretty girl agreed to go out with you! (giselle couldn’t stop laughing when she said that, but you ignored her)

now, you were bugging your poor roommate winter with helping you choose a perfect outfit for the date. (no one else thinks it’s a date but they’re just haters.)

“for the third time, the blue sweater is fine, y/n.” the older girl rolled her eyes at your distressed state.

“you don’t understand, unnie! i need it to be perfect, not just fine!”

“y/n.” winter stood up to face you with a blank face. “i don’t think you can scare her off with clothes more than you already did with the stunt you pulled.”

“i did it for love!”

“y/n i am appointing you into a mental hospital.” she sat back down, going to scroll through tik tok. “i’ll get ning there while i’m at it.”

“you’re no help, unnie!” you huffed, glancing down a the pile of clothes spread on your floor. this was far more stressful than it should be.

“…the black pants will look nice with the sweater.” you heard winter mumble.

smiling brightly, you put on the outfit and threw yourself on the older girl, making her yelp. “yah!”

“thank you, unnie! you’re the best!”

“i know i am. now go away, i’m resting.”

you giggled softly at her, hugging her one last time before you left your shared room. you ran towards the doors, seeing giselle and karina chilling by tv.

“oh, good luck on your outing with cocona, y/nnie!” aeri yelled at you, gaining jimin’s attention.

“cocona? isn’t that the xg member?”

“yes! we’re having a date!” you replied proudly and karina would’ve bursted out there and then if it wasn’t for the japanese to hold her back.

“WHAT?”

“i mean, i haven’t told her it’s a date-“

“WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THAT GIRL-“

“RUN, Y/N!”

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

cocona was supposed to be waiting for you at a nearby park, which would be hopefully empty at this hour.

from far away, you saw a figure standing there in a cosy hoodie. you ran up there, hoping it was the girl of your dreams.

“こんにちは！” you yelled out shyly in whatever broken japanese you could muster up and bowed to the girl. “私は y/n l/nです-“

“it’s cute that you got your japanese member to talk to me…” cocona spoke in english, shocking you visibly. “but i know my english quite well.”

she smiled at you and you couldn’t help but hide your face in your hands in embarrassment. all that for you to find out she can speak english…

“hey, don’t be embarrassed, cutie!” she laughed softly and wrapped her arms around you in a gentle hug. “i told you, i think it was cute.”

“…really?”

she nodded again and you smiled back at her.

“so.. how about that date?” she asked after a while. you couldn’t help but blush at the suggestion, nodding your head quickly.

“i-i would like to formally take you out on a date, cocona!”

“sure. only if i can pay tho.”

“hey!”

“don’t fight me on that. im paying you back for this whole situation~” she smirked cheekily and you had a feeling she wouldn’t forget that for quite a while.

but you didn’t really mind. if embarrassing yourself a little scored you a chance with a pretty girl, then so be it.

cocona took your hand gently in hers and started walking with you through the park. her eyes were shining as she looked at you with that soft smile on her face.

you knew this would blossom into something more. all of this, it was now worth it.
