Tumblr media
y/n's perspective
“Why did you help, Jake?” I heard and I saw Jay behind me. How did he find out?
“What?” I asked in hopes of clarity. “Heeseung told me you helped Jake with a human potion… did he force–” “He didn’t… he begged to understand how to feel human so I gave a potion to K to give to him and– he asked for help to be human and that it” I said now panicked and he sighed
“He went off to tell Jungwon, Sunoo, and Niki now,” he said and I sighed. “He asked me not to tell you guys… is… he okay?” I asked and he shook his head. 
“The potion is wearing off so he'll be better but he used his fire and burned his arms. They're treating him right now in our dorm so he doesn't get in trouble and neither do you” he said and I sighed. 
“I can help–” “Why are you asking to help? He hurt you,” he said and I smiled softly. “It's my magic, and besides he apologized and explained. He’s learning control… and he's also a neurotic vampire. It's why he's so hyper and why his emotions get the better of him” I said and only hugged me. 
“You’re too kind for your own good,” he said and I hugged him back. “I… really wanted to continue what I had with Sooha, but you still forgave that I was split,” he said and even tightened his grip.
“Just don’t let people exploit it,” he said and pulled away. I offered him a smile…
“Lets go help, he’s still your friend after all” 
Tumblr media
When I entered the dorm I could hear cries. 
“Ah! y/n!” I heard as I saw… Sooha. I’m glad he had her helping him. “Can you help, please he's in so much pain I don’t know what got to his head!” she pleaded and I nodded. 
I then freeze. 
“Uhm… Sooha, Jay can you leave the room?” I ask and they look at me confused. “I have to..” I trailed off while I brought a pinout. “Jake isn't good with control–” “I’ll be fine, I can take away his thirst while I'm here,” I said and he nodded and went outside the room I'm assuming only outside the door. 
“Go away” he cried while curling himself up in a ball. Sooha tried to bandage his arms. His shirt was off when I saw the burns even exceeded his shoulders. 
I pricked my finger letting the blood smear whilst his body shook. “I can’t do anything right,” he muttered. “Ja–” “Sooha just go away… please” he pleaded. He thought I was... 
“You don’t understand… What I did to those people hurt as much as what I felt, What I did to her was worse than what I feel” he cried out. 
“Jake,” I said and he turned his head slightly from the corner of the couch to see me. I felt my vision blur… just a bit. “Why… why are you here?” he asks and I sigh. 
“Well, I warned you not to use your powers,” I said and he only cried more. “I needed to know…  I-I’m sorry! I… why… why are you bleeding” he sat up when he saw my hand and shuffled away from me. 
“Jake, I'm gonna–” “No! Stay there,” he said when I tried getting closer. 
“I’m gonna do a spell… it’s gonna turn you back–” “I’ll hurt you again, just leave!” he yelled and I shook my head. “You won’t feel thirsty until I leave” I explained and he shook his head. 
“Jake. I forgive you, okay? So please trust me for now” I asked and he froze. I tried to get close when he started telling me the same thing. 
“Ah… Heeseung'' I said while looking at the door. Jake turned when I tackled him and got on top of him, catching him by surprise and doing my spell quickly. “You lied!” he said as I muttered my spell. He then winced when I saw his fangs were coming out. I cut my palm a bit to feed him my blood and did another spell so he wouldn’t turn me into a blood bag. 
“Are you crazy! I’m a vampire, I could kill you!” he yelled as he sat up again and gripped my shoulders. “But you don’t feel the bloodlust right?” I asked and he froze. “You’re insane… Why would you do that! And you lied about Heeseung there!” he whined, making me laugh. 
“But… Thank you for helping me. It doesn't help my emotions' ' he said, his pain is gone but not his guilt. “Jake, you can only do one thing to improve this, '' I said and he stared at me, eager to fix his mistakes.
“Live in fear to commit the same mistakes, Choose to live in bloodlust, or actually improve. To improve you need to accept being a vampire and your mistakes. You need to forgive yourself” I said and he couldn’t say a word. 
“What you did was stupid” I heard and this time it was Heeseung. “The blood spilled in your hand would have driven him–” “You need to give him more credit than that. If you treat him like a monster, he’ll turn out to be one” I said and he looked at me dumbfounded. 
“But it doesn’t mean he is. I get told how much of a freak I am by the humans… vampires, and hybrids because I use magic. It doesn’t make me one, though” I said and he stayed silent. 
“If you need help, my doors are open,” I said to Jake and I noticed a weird position. 
“Uhm! Sorry for this by the way” I said and ran for the door. 
“Blood!” I was now surrounded… this time by my mates and Sooha waiting outside the door. “Sooha, go inside,” Sunghoon said as he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her inside with him. “I… think I'm going too,” Niki said.
Left with three. “You’ve got a lot to explain,'' Sunoo said and I smiled nervously…
Where do I start?

jake’s perspective
When she left, Heeseung said nothing. Instead of going to his room, I then noticed Sooha, Sunghoon, and Niki enter. She was still bleeding. 
“You did not drink her blood!” Sunghoon said and I shook my head. “No–” “You have her blood on your face!” Niki screeched and I shook my head. 
“She… I don't know! She did spells! She forced her blood into me!” I yelled defensively and they scoffed. They haven't marked her yet… let alone tasted her blood. 
“Just don’t do it again” Niki muttered as he left being a grumpy kid. 
“Jake, are you okay?” Sooha asks worriedly and I nod. “y/n… is too forgiving. She also helped me alot” I said and she smiled. “Maybe this will–” “Don’t mention this again Sooha” I said and she only offered a shy smile. 
“Are you okay, Hoon?” I ask, noticing his staring off like he usually does. “Mhhmm, Solon is… annoyed with you” he muttered as he didn’t stop staring at the floor. “Is it the blood?” I ask and he nods. “You do have her blood on your cheek,” Sooha said and I felt my eyes widen. 
“Uhm! I’m gonna go to my room!” 
Tumblr media
I cleaned my face while I was alone with my thoughts. 
Why’d she help me… defend me against Heeseung? After what I did? I would hate me, even wish the worst for me. Why was she so… kind? 
“You’re lucky, hyung!” I heard as I left my bathroom to see Jungwon and Sunoo. “Yah! Get off my bed! Your clothes are dirty–” “Why’d you wanna be human anyway?” Sunoo asked. 
The two used to be human… “I wanted to know how it felt,” I said and Jungwon sat up. “It's not fun,” he said and I nodded. “It isn't,” I agreed. “What you did to her wasn’t fair Jake. Just because she forgave you doesn't make it right” Jungwons scolded. 
“I know… I want better control. I need to get better” I said and he sighed. “That's a good first step,” Sunoo said and I nodded. 
“How come you two turned out so smart?” I asked them. And they chuckled, “Heeseung's sister says we must've been blessed with it,” Sunoo said.
“I swear you two seem to be her favorite, '' I said as I jumped on my bed in between the two. “Well… she’s not the best at hiding things. We know at some point we’ve met in another life,  but only Heeseung knows” Jungwon said and I chuckled. 
“Do you think in another life, we knew each other?” I asked them and they laughed. 
“Of course hyung!” 
Tumblr media
I know I wasn’t allowed here. 
I knocked on the door and hoped Wonyoung wasn’t there. 
“Hello,” she said as she opened the door. “Oh thank goodness! Wonyoung isn't here right?” I asked and she laughed. “No, you're lucky. Are you feeling better?” y/n asked and I nodded. 
“I wanted to ask if you wanted to join me for breakfast?” I asked and she smiled. “Why not?” she said as she went back in to get her bag. 
“Where's my mates?” she asked. “Asleep, Jungwon and Sunoo slept over in my room. Niki also joined so they are still asleep in my room. Heeseung is nowhere to be seen, Jay… I think in Home-Ec, and Sunghoon in his jealousy arc” I said and she laughed.
“What?” she said while laughing. 
“Your blood was on me… and well drinking your mate’s blood is an intimate thing,” I said and I noticed her cheeks redden. “Also I’m sorry about your hand,” I said while I saw her bandaged hand. 
“It's nothing I'm not used to,” she said and I smiled. 
“I wish we had time to get breakfast outside the campus but, it'd be impossible without skipping homeroom,” I said and she chuckled. “I don’t mind skipping,” she said, shocking me. 
“You're supposed to be the number one! The top student! President of Bright Sun student council, who are you!?” I said dramatically, making her laugh more. “I was gonna skip, I was just gonna use the excuse of stuco” she said and I stopped.
“Let's go then!” 
Tumblr media
We made it to the city where not many students were since class was gonna start. 
“Your mates are gonna freak out,” I said and she chuckled. “They skip more than me,” she said and I knew that was probably true. 
“Ooh! I need you to try this! It's a witch's place, but you can come in with me!” she said excitedly as we went into a breakfast place. 
“This just looks like human food,” I said while looking at the menu. “It has magic in it! It's really cool!” she said excitedly that it made me just stop and stare. 
“Jake? Are you okay?” she asked and I nodded. 
“I’m jealous that they get to have a chance with you,” I said but I didn’t mean to say it out loud. She smiled softly. “Well, you did reject me,” she said jokingly. 
“I know and I'm an idiot–” “Jake! Do you want to be my mate?” she asked, throwing me off guard. She giggled since I must've looked like an idiot. 
“Yes! I… I wanna be your mate” I said and she smiled. “Ah! I’ll even pay–" "I won’t argue,” she said and I laughed. 
“Thank you, y/n”

pairings: teacher!jake x single mom!reader
summary: Being a single mom to a 6 year old daughter isn’t always easy, and it doesn’t help that her class teacher awakens feelings inside of you, you haven’t felt in a long time. Will the love between you blossom, or will your complicated life drive you apart?

warnings: one heavy (?) make out session and a lot of tension
masterlist of ‘enhypen as jobs’
Life can change.
From one second to another, everything can change. Everything you have once known to be normal, everything you were used to. It all can get ripped away from you in the matter of a few seconds.
From one second to another a seventeen-year-old girl finds out she got pregnant from a boy that wasn’t ready to commit to a life like that yet and parents that felt nothing but disappointment towards their teenage daughter.
From one second to another this girl had to move away, raise a child on her own and build a life save for them to live in. She had to find a job with a steady income, find people who could help her and put all her needs aside for the small bundle of life she brought into the world.
Not only did she have to change her life, but she also had to rebuild it. She had to create a new, healthier and secure one. Suddenly it wasn’t about what outfit to wear to school, how to sneak out to go to a party or new drama that happened at school. It was about changing diapers, sleepless nights caused by a toothing child and soothing countless emotional outbreaks. It was about raising her child, teaching kindness and blaming every bad thing on herself.
But at the end of the day, it was being grateful, loving the child unconditionally and not being able to imagine her life any different. It was feeling purpose, feeling needed and feeling loved. It was showing exactly that love to her child and never letting her forget that.
♡❀˖⁺. ༶ ⋆˙⊹❀♡
Listening to the waves crashing against the shore, you soak in the last moments of this morning, the soft rays of sun on your face, the slight breeze making your cheeks rosy and the faint sound of birds chirping somewhere close by. You soak in this moment, because moments like this are rare in the life you’re living, quiet and undisturbed, protected from all the daily stress and complications.
You breathe in the air one last time, before you see someone approaching you out of the corner of your eye.
“Look mommy, I found a pretty shell.”, your 6-year-old daughter Nuri says as she holds her hand out for you to see. You show her a bright smile, admiring the pretty shell in her hands. Your daughter has always been a collector, shells, flowers, rocks, even leaves, nothing is safe from her. And it’s something you love about her. How she sees the beauty in the small things, always so eager to show you the new things she discovered, with her big bright eyes.
“It’s so pretty, Nuri. How about you put it into your bag and later we will get the other shells you collected and make a pretty necklace out of them?” You watch as the little girl enthusiastically nods, putting the shell carefully into her bag, before sitting down beside you on the blanket you laid over the sand.
“Are you excited about starting school today?”, you ask your daughter, as you gently pull her onto your lap, stroking her hair with one of your hands. Whenever you look at her, you get stunned by how much you see your younger self in her. The more she grows, the more the resemblance grows. But you also realize how awfully fast time passes, and how much has changed since the day you held your little baby in your arms for the first time.
“I am.”, Nuri says, her big eyes almost disappearing as she grins widely at you, showing off her missing front tooth. “But I will also miss kindergarten a lot. And I will miss you too, mommy.”
In an instant, tears fill up your eyes and it takes you a moment to swallow them down, not wanting Nuri to see you like that. You could cry after you dropped her off at school, but for now, those tears will have to stay hidden. “I will miss you too, sweet girl. But it is just a few hours that we don’t see each other. Every day after school I will pick you up and we can do whatever we want to do, okay?”
Nuri nods her head again, before wrapping her arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug. “Do you think I will make any friends?”
“Of course, you will.”, you tell her, truthfully. Your daughter, in contrary to you, never had problems talking to others. She is a social butterfly, making friends wherever she goes. You admire her for that, wanting to have the same trait. Because while she plays with all the kids in the playground, you can only watch the other mothers sit together, talking about everything and nothing. Part of you wants to just go up to them, ask them if you could join them, but the other part of you feels anxious, scared of getting judged, the way you always do. Being a mom so young has only brought you trouble, wherever you go. And while Nuri is the best thing that has happened to you, others seem to not support that opinion.
If you got a dollar for every time someone told you that you would destroy your kids future, or that you are way too young to have this kind of responsibility, you would be rich by now. Everywhere you go, if it’s grocery shopping, getting gas, at restaurants, people try to give you advice or comment on the things that apparently went wrong with your life, without even knowing you or your story. You heard everything, from your parents not raising you right or having daddy issues because your dad left you when you were young, to being whore that slept around until she eventually got pregnant.
But they don’t know that it was just a simple accident. That it was two teenagers having their first times together, being nervous and not really knowing what to do. It was two teenagers who didn’t think and had to deal with the consequences of their moment together. Well, at least one did. It wasn’t your parents’ fault; it wasn’t you sleeping around. It was just something that happened, unplanned but not unwanted.
And they don’t know that ever since Nuri came into your life, everything felt like it had a purpose. You felt like you had a purpose. Being a mother has made you find out who you truly are, and what you truly want. It made you more aware of the process of growing up, and made you realize all the stupid things you did as a teenager. It helped you through the hardest times and gave you something to hold on to, a reason to fight. Nuri is the reason you wake up every day, the reason you can get out of bed and the reason you finally have a routine in your life.
And you truly believe that it was meant to happen. You were meant to get pregnant with her and build up a life for the both of you.
“If someone will make a lot of friends, it’s you. I just know that everyone will love you, just how I know that I love you, so so much.”
-
It’s a weird feeling, picking your daughter up from her first day of school. You watch all the kids run up to their parents, excited little faces, already going on and on about everything that happened while they spend a few hours apart.
And while you’re waiting for your daughter to exit the school, you realize you can’t wait to be with her again, to hear her tell all the stories about her experiences on her first day, to get ice cream with her and make necklaces and bracelets. You realize that this must be harder for you than for her. She doesn’t realize the quickness in which she grows up, but you do.
It feels like yesterday when she was still in your belly. It feels like yesterday when she took her first steps, falling face first to the ground. It feels like yesterday when she said her first words, going up to every stranger in the grocery store and proudly repeating that word to them. It feels like yesterday when she lost her favorite toy and cried for two days straight. When you threw a little goodbye party for that toy with her and explained to her that maybe another child found her toy and gave it a new home, only to find the toy four days later under your bed. And it feels like yesterday when she came into your room, telling you she had a nightmare. She crawled into your bed and shortly before sleep took over, she whispered that you are the best mommy in the whole world.
All these memories start crashing over you, one by one. Tears fill your eyes yet again, and it takes everything in you to blink them away, not wanting to break down in front of all these strangers.
“Mommy.”, you hear her voice before you see her. Turning in the direction of the voice, you see your daughter running up to you, her arms wide open. You kneel down, opening your arms yourself and a bright smile lighting up all your features.
“Hey, my sweet girl.”, you say as you wrap her tightly into your arms. All the sadness you felt a moment ago washes away the moment you relish in the feeling of having the most important person in your life in your arms. “How was your first day?”
“It was so amazing, mommy. We learned a new song and ate a lot of fruits together. I made a lot of friends, and all my teachers are so nice.” You can’t help but smile brightly at the excitement of your daughter. “Do we have some time before we go home? I want you to meet my teacher. He is still in the classroom, so we have to hurry.”
Before you can answer, Nuri already takes off with your hand in hers, leading you inside the school and to her classroom. You marvel at all the colorful decoration, the helpful quotes and the artistic pictures. “Hello, Mr. Sim.”, your daughter says, excitedly waving at her teacher.
You take another step into the classroom, looking for the man that is busy packing his bag. But when he turns around and shows your daughter a bright smile, it almost takes your breath away. You never expected a teacher to look this… gorgeous. Mr. Sim looks young, your age probably, his skin is soft and glowing, his eyes a deep shade of brown and his black hair framing his perfect face. He has full, pink lips and a smile so bright, it resembles a puppy.
“Hey, Nuri. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be on your way home?” Even his voice sounds like it was dipped into honey and laced with cream and sprinkles. It does something to you, you haven’t felt in a really long time.
“I wanted you to meet my mommy.”, she says, pointing over at you. And the moment Mr. Sim’s eyes meet you, you can feel something in the air change. A uncuttable tension fills the room, and you can’t stop staring at him. You can’t stop looking at his perfect face and his perfect eyes and his perfect lips. You feel ashamed for feeling this way, for thinking about your daughter’s teacher that way, but you can’t help yourself. “Mr. Sim this is my mommy.”
“Hi.”, he says, his voice breaking with this simple word. “I’m Mr. Sim, but you can call me Jake.” Jake wipes his hand on his pants before reaching it out for you to take, which you do. Gently you place your hand in his, giving it a soft shake, almost sighing at the feeling of this small contact. Jake has big hands, long fingers and veins traveling up his arms, but his skin is so soft and smooth it almost doesn’t seem fair.
“I’m Y/N, Nuri’s mom.” You almost punch yourself for sounding so weak and pathetic. The last thing you want is for Nuri’s teacher to know what an effect his mere presence has on you. “Are you Nuri’s class teacher?”
“For now, yeah. I’m a substitute teacher since their actual teacher got into an accident and has to rest for probably a few months. I was meant to start at another school but got transferred here last minute.” You could listen to him speak for hours. “But you probably don’t care about that.” He chuckles softly, letting a hand nervously glide through his silky hair. “What you probably do care about is that we have a parents’ conference next week. I wanted to send an e-mail to every parent, but you know, seeing as you are here, I just wanted to let you know beforehand.”
You nod at him, showing him a small appreciative smile. “Thank you, Jake. I will see what I can do to come. Maybe someone will have the time to look after Nuri for a few hours.”
Jake nods one time, then another, before letting his hand fall to his side. “It’s a pretty important conference, seeing that this has a lot of information about the first school year. Maybe her father can look after her, so you can come.” You can hear the lingering note in his sentence, subconsciously knowing that he’s testing the waters.
“Nuri’s father is not in her life.”, you say, looking down at your daughter who only smiles up at you. “It’s just us, right, sweet pee?”
“Yep.”, she says, nodding her head a few times. “Our house is a girls’ only zone.” Jake chuckles at the words of the little girl in front of him. He reaches into the pocket of his jeans and takes out his phone to hand it to you.
“You can see if you find someone to look after her for a few hours and if not, you can just text me and we will find a solution. Is that okay with you?” Stunned, you take his phone, seeing his contact list already open.
“Yeah, yeah of course. Thank you so much, Mr. Sim.”
“Jake.”, he tells you again, a gentle smile resting on his lips. “You can just call me Jake, okay?”
-
“God, it was so embarrassing.”, Jake says as he drinks a sip from his coke. “I kept on rambling and stuttering. Like my hands got all sweaty and I couldn’t even really look her in the eyes.”
He hears his friends laughing at him to which he just frowns. Jake knows the way he acted around you, his student’s mom, wasn’t appropriate, but it was like the moment he saw you his brain stopped working. All the blood rushed out of it, leaving him stupid and unable to form thought through sentences. It was like he was sixteen all over again. A teenager nervous around pretty girls, unable to talk to them without making a foul out of himself.
“Dude, you seem down bad for her.”, Jay, his friend, says, not being able to hide the amusement in his voice. It’s been a while since the boys heard any stories about women in Jake’s life. Jake always tried to keep in love life as clear as possible, only looking for something serious and whenever he noticed the other person wasn’t reciprocating the same feeling, he ended whatever it was between him and the other person. Ever since Jake was young, he had one wish and that was to be in love. To love unconditionally, find someone who feels the same way and spend the rest of his life with them. To marry, have kids and grow old together. That’s what Jake always wanted, and still does to this day. But finding someone with the same wish turned out to be harder than he thought it would.
“But doesn’t she have a kid? Doesn’t that mean she has a husband, or boyfriend?”, Sunghoon asks, joining in on the conversation.
Jake just shakes his head, sighing as he lets his free hand nervously glide through his hair. “No, I already asked her. It’s apparently just her and her daughter. But I don’t know where the father is, didn’t think it would be appropriate to ask her that.”
“Wait. You asked her about a man in her life?”, Heesungs’ eyes are wide, and he has to swallow the laugh that threatens to leave his lips. “Bro, there is no way, you had the balls to do that. She definitely knows that you are interested in her.”
“What?”, Jake exclaims, bewilderedly looking at his friends. “What do you mean she knows I am interested in her?”
“Bro, you asked if she has a boyfriend or not, that’s the first sign of testing the waters, checking if she’s single. Everyone knows that and I bet she does too.”
Jake lets his head fall into his hands, a frustrated sigh leaving his lips. “She probably thinks I am a weirdo. God, what if she doesn’t want her child to be in a class with a teacher that was shamelessly hitting on her? What if she tells the other parents and I’m going to get kicked out of that school?”
“Jake.”, Sunghoon puts a comforting hand on his friend’s shoulder. “I doubt she would do that. And come on, maybe she is interested in you as well. Look at you, you are an attractive man. Don’t overthink this whole thing, okay?”
-
“And they lived happier ever after. The end.”, you finish reading the bedtime story for Nuri, closing the book and putting it on her nightstand.
“Mommy?”, you hear her quiet voice asking for you. Immediately, you take her hand, showing her a soft smile. She looks so small with her eyes just half open, tiredness written all over her face.
“Yes, sweety?”
“Do you like Mr. Sim?” The question surprises you, makes you take a few deep breaths before feeling ready to answer.
“I think he is a lovely person. He seems very sweet to you. Why do you ask that?”
Nuri adjusts her position, trying to open her eyes more to look at you clearly. “I think you are in love with him. Mrs. Kim said that when someone is in love with another person, they get very nervous and start stuttering in their sentences. She told me that you can’t stop looking at the person and that you seem kind of starstruck. Just like the way I look at ice cream.” She hugs her little teddy bear closer to her chest before continuing. “That’s how you looked today when you looked at Mr. Sim.”
You can’t help but shake your head as you hear the words your elderly neighbor has told your daughter. But it shouldn’t surprise you. Mrs. Kim has always been a hopeless romantic, going on and on about how you will find the right guy for you, that you just have to be patient. She has been watching over Nuri ever since she was a little baby, and it was bound to happen that at some point she would fill your daughter’s head with this nonsense.
“I am not in love with Mr. Sim, baby. I don’t even know him.”
“But you could get to know him. And then you will fall in love with him and live happily ever after with him, just like in the stories you read me every night.” You can hear something underlying in your daughter’s voice. Something she hides as she speaks those words.
“Nuri, why do you want me to fall in love with Mr. Sim?”, you ask her, squeezing her hand softly. You can see the sadness forming on her little face and it breaks your heart seeing her like this. Whatever it is that she was thinking at that moment, must have been on her mind for a long time.
“Ever since last year the kids in kindergarten asked me why I don’t have a dad. Every kid there has a dad, just not me. I want to have a dad, too, just like all the other children do.” Small tears start dripping down her cheeks, and you can’t hide the ones threatening to leave your eyes too.
“Oh, my sweet girl. Come here.” You gently pull her into a hug, cradling her head in your hands. “Why didn’t you tell me about it?”
“I didn’t want to make you sad. I know that talking about my dad makes you very sad, and I don’t want you to be sad, mommy.” Twice, you felt your heart break within a few minutes. You hadn’t realized the effect this theme has on you, the sadness that still lingers whenever you think about her father. You hadn’t realized that your daughter noticed that. Your empathetic six-year-old daughter. A part of you feels proud of her for being such a sweet considerate little girl, but the other part is scared of how much other stuff she has noticed.
“Nuri, I am so sorry for not talking a lot about your father with you. I promise I will answer you every question about him in the future. And I am not sad when you mention him, okay? It is so important for you to communicate your feelings with me. When something worries you, you can always come to me and tell me about it, no matter what, okay?” You can feel her nod against your chest, her little hands wiping away the tears on her face. “Good. Now try to sleep, sweety. You need to have a lot of energy for school tomorrow. I love you, Nuri.”
“I love you too, mommy.”
-
You feel nervous as you park at the school building. There are several cars there already, all parents who will also be at the conference. Anxiety builds up in your belly, the fears of judgement towards you rising inside of you. This happened a lot at parent conferences when Nuri was still in kindergarten. The parents would be delighted to see you at first, asking if you are her sister but when they find out you are her mom, all you got was weird looks and whispers from other parents. It made you almost skip every conference after that, but you had to go, for Nuri’s sake. So, it’s understandable why your hands are shaking as you enter the school.
You dropped Nuri off at Mrs. Kim’s appartement, not before telling her to stop bringing Nuri’s hope of you getting a boyfriend up. A part of you knows that Mrs. Kim didn’t mean it with any bad intention, but you still don’t want Nuri to think that she will get a dad. Her real father is still uninterested to be in her life, and you don’t think that will change any time soon, and bringing a new father figure into her life is something you are still afraid of. People these days are not looking for serious commitment, they get scared when they hear about the child in your life, and they leave before anything serious can even start to develop. And the last thing you want is to introduce someone to Nuri’s life, just to have them leave a few weeks later. You don’t want to do that to her.
“Y/N.”, you hear someone call out for you and when you turn around you are greeted with the bright smile of no other than Sim Jake. “You made it. I am so happy to see you.”
“Yeah, sorry for not texting you. I kind of forgot about it with the whole stress I was having the best few days.” Jake seems to only smile brighter at your words, one of his hands nervously scratching the back of his neck. It gives you a moment to take him in. He is wearing a baggy pair of blue jeans with a black button up shirt, the arms of his shirt rolled up, exposing his arms. You can’t help but to let your eyes trail to his hands, his beautiful hands, but before you let yourself trail off too long, you let your eyes wander back to his, only to be met by a smirking Jake. Jake noticed your wandering gaze, the way your eyes shamelessly roamed his body. And he can’t say he isn’t flattered.
“Don’t worry, Y/n. I’m just glad to see you again. I hope you are, too.” You can hear the shift in his voice, the confidence and pride in it. And it makes a shiver run down your spine. “But we should go inside the classroom, before the parents get worried where I am.”
For the whole conference, you try to stay focused, to take notes and remember everything Jake was telling the parents, but your mind always drifted off. You got lost staring at the way he was talking so animatedly with his hands, biting his lip, and licking it with his tongue after every sentence, and how he brushes his hair out of his eyes every few seconds. And looking around, you notice that you don’t seem to be the only one staring at Jake. Some other mothers in the room developed a certain fascination with the young teacher, tugging their hair behind their ears and looking at him with a starstruck gaze. Watching them, you notice that you must look the same way when you look at Jake, just how Nuri told you. And it makes an embarrassed flush appear on your cheeks. You should really get yourself together. This is the teacher of your daughter, you shouldn’t be thinking about him in that way, shouldn’t be staring at him with such hungry eyes.
So, when you Jake announces the end of the conference, you can’t help but to hastily back your things into your back and make your way to head out of the classroom. “Y/N.” But Jake’s voice stops you from that. “Can you stay back a bit? I want to talk to you.” You turn around and give him a quick and shy nod, before sitting down on one of the chairs again and waiting for all the other parents to leave. Which turns out to take longer than you thought it would, almost all of the moms line up in front of him, asking him questions and wanting his attention.
Every now and then you see the look on Jake’s face, the tight-lipped smile and the alarming eyes, seeming almost uncomfortable. But you could be wrong about that impression.
Finally, the last one left, leaving only you and Jake in the classroom. He turns to you, a soft and honest looking smile on his lips. “Thank you for waiting, Y/N. I really appreciate that.” You smile back at him, standing up so you can walk over to him.
“Why did you want me to stay back?”, you ask him as you stop in front of him, looking up at him with your wide eyes. Jake seems to be losing the ability to talk again, your eyes driving him crazy. You give him the type of look that makes him want to press you against the next wall and kiss you until your lungs give out.
“I wanted to ask you how you liked the conference.” His voice is low and coarse, and he has to clear his throat a few times to get rid of the lump in it.
“You wanted me to stay back just so you could ask me how I liked the parents conference?”, you ask him, eyebrows raised in a question.
“Yes?”, he answers, his yes almost sounding like a question itself. He scratches the back of his neck again, feeling suddenly so self-conscious. “I mean it was my first time doing something like this and I guess I just wanted to know how I was. You know, if I came across as nervous or insecure.”
You shake your head at him, a constant smile on your lips. “Jake, you did so well. Everyone in this room liked you, and you seemed so confident when you talked about everything. Believe me, no one could have done it better than you.”
Jake feels his heart swell at your words, not having thought you would say something like that to him. It has been a long time since Jake has gotten praised in such a way, and it does something to him, something he can’t admit to himself.
“Thank you.”, he mumbles, a faint bit of blush on his cheeks. “Hearing that means a lot to me.”
You gently squeeze his arm, showing him another bright smile. “No need to thank me. I am just telling you the truth.” You take a step back again, hand sinking back to your side. “But I sadly have to go now. I have to pick up Nari since it’s a school night and I don’t want her to stay awake for too long.”
“Yeah, sure, of course.”, Jake quickly says, walking to his bag and starting to pack in his things. “Give me a second, I will walk you to your car.”
-
This has been the third time in four months that you were too late to pick up Nuri from school. With the newfound time, your boss thought it was a good idea to give you more work, and normally you would decline this amount of work, since it gives you less time that you can spend with Nuri. But more work also means more money, and you need it more desperately than ever lately. The rent in your apartment got raised, fuel got more expensive and all the school stuff that you had to buy also didn’t make your bank account look good.
With your head lowered and guilt tripping down every part of your body, you walk into Nuri’s school. As you step into her classroom, your eyes widen. Jake is sitting beside Nuri on a desk, drawing inside a book with her, while talking to her with a soft smile on his face.
“There you are Ms. Park.”, you can hear the voice of Nuri’s other teacher Mrs. Song.  “We waited for you for 30 minutes now. This is the third time this has happened, and I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with your punctuality. I get that you are young, but that doesn’t give you the right to abandon your own child for whatever party activity you have to do.”
Almost immediately you feel the guilt replace itself with anger. You know that picking up your child too late is irresponsible, but claiming you abandon your child and go partying is reaching too high. You feel like you’re seventeen-year-old you all over again, when everyone told you that you won’t be able to raise a child, that your child will grow up traumatized, wishing they had all the things other kids her age have. They told you to give Nuri up for adoption, that it would be the best possibility at your age.
“I am so sorry I was late picking up Nuri, again. But your accusations are what are disappointing here. As a teacher you shouldn’t have such prejudices against parents. Yes, I am young, but that doesn’t mean I am not able to love and provide for my daughter. Live on day in my shoes and see how well you can manage it.”
A short beat of silence fills the room, and before Mrs. Song can open her mouth to say another word, Jake speaks up first. “Mrs. Song, how about you take Nuri to one of the vending machines and get her a snack, while I talk to Ms. Park.”
With a heavy sigh, Mrs. Song nods, taking Nuri’s hand and walking out of the room with her, leaving you and Jake alone. “Y/n.” He gently says as he walks over to you. And there is something about his voice, so gentle and caring and something about his presence so comfortable and safe, that makes the tears in your eyes break their way free to roll over your cheeks. “Oh, come here.”
Jake gently pulls you into his arms, one hand on your back, comfortingly stroking it, and the other on your head. You wrap your own arms tightly around him and allow yourself for the first time in months to let it all out, the stress, the hurt, the pain, the longing, everything. A sob wracks through your whole body, and it breaks Jake’s heart. He doesn’t know how to help you, what to do to take all this pain away from you. So, all he does is pull you closer – if that’s even possible – and whisper encouraging words into your ear.
“Do you want to talk about it?”, Jake gently asks as he pulls away from the hug, taking your face in his hands and wiping the tears on your face away with his thumbs.
You close your eyes for a few seconds, trying to calm down from your little breakdown, before starting to talk to him. “Everything has just been so hard lately. I can barely pay rent, I have to work longer and harder to earn all the money I need, and Nuri hasn’t stopped talking and asking questions about her dad. I try to act unbothered by it, but if your daughter talks about the boy that has not only broken your heart but left you alone when you most needed him, it makes you relive it all over again. And I just feel like the worst mom on earth for not being able to give Nuri the live she deserves. Everyone is telling me that over and over again, what if they are right?”
“No.”, Jake says shaking his head. He cups your cheek with one hand, the other one taking its place on your waist. “Listen to me. You are an amazing mom, Y/n. God, half of the people that say those mean things want to be just like you. You sacrificed so much to provide for your daughter and that is more than just admirable. You should be proud of yourself, not doubt yourself. Nuri loves you. In fact, you are all she ever talks about. She admires you so much, Y/n, and she loves you with all her heart. That’s what matters the most.”
More tears start to stream down your cheeks, and you whisper a quiet ‘thank you’ to Jake, before pulling him back into your arms. He holds you close, leaving a gentle kiss at your temple every now and then. “How about we get Nuri and then we go out for ice cream? I don’t want to leave you alone right now.”
You nod against his chest, not ready to let go of him yet. “Thank you, Jake. For everything.”
-
Something changed between you and Jake after that day. It started with texts, him checking up on you every now and then, seeing if you need help. Then it developed to calls, once a week, talking about your feelings and worries, but those calls quickly got more frequent and happened every night after you put Nuri down to sleep. And you don’t know how it happened or when it happened, but now you find yourself getting ready to meet him for the first time in another place other than Nuri’s school.
“I think the purple top looks prettier on you, mommy.” Nuri says from where she sits on your bed. You have been changing outfits for an hour now, never finding the right thing to wear.
“You think so?”, you ask as you put it over put it on yet again. “I think you are right. This should be good enough.” You turn around to face Nuri, just to see her snuggled up with her teddy bear, big eyes watching you attentively. “You ready to spend some time with Mrs. Kim, sweety?”
You are answered with a wild nod and a bright smile. You know you could just take her with you, Jake wouldn’t mind that at all, but there is a part of you that really wants to spend some time with him alone. Just you and him.
You shouldn’t feel selfish about it, but you do. You feel like you put your own needs before your daughters’ ones. You know it’s far reached since this is the first time in a while that Mrs. Kim has to look after Nuri, but you hate depending on people. You hate having to drop Nuri off somewhere when you have plans. You hate that you can’t do this alone.
“Hey, pretty girl.”, Jake says as he sits down beside you on the picknick blanket you pulled out for the two of you, a bright smile is on his beautiful lips. “Can I ask you why exactly you wanted to meet here?”
You look at the ocean in front of you, at the soft waves crashing against the shore, glowing under the soft light of the sun peeking through the clouds. There is something magical about this place, something you can’t describe in words.
“I used to come here all the time when I was pregnant with Nuri. It was the only place that seemed to calm me down. I guess I just wanted to share that with you. You have become a very comforting part of my life, and I just thought you would like this place as much as I do.”
There is something in Jake eyes that changes the moment you speak those words. They seem to go lighter, wider, like a little puppy. It makes all the blood in your body rush right up in your cheeks and lets goosebumps rise over your skin. It makes you think about things you aren’t supposed to think, feel things that definitely aren’t appropriate to be thought in public.
Jake takes one of your hands, giving it a tight squeeze before sighing gently and looking out into the sea. You follow his gaze, admiring the sand glittering in the sunlight and listening to the sounds of the seals far off on the water. Both of you relish in the tranquility of the moment, no words needed.
“It’s my birthday next week,” Jake says after a few minutes. “I am throwing a small party. Just me and my three friends and I wanted to know if you want to come as well.”
You look at him only to be met with his hopeful, big eyes. He shows you an encouraging smile, and for a moment you unlearn the ability to speak. “Uhm, yeah, sure. Is it okay if I bring Nuri with me? I hate having to leave her at Mrs. Kims place all the time.”
“Of course, I was assuming she was going to come as well.” Your heart swells at his words, appreciating his attentive soul. You know how much Jake grew fond of Nuri. He talks about her approvements in school all the time, telling you about funny jokes she makes or impressive questions she asks. Jake tells you how smart and polite she is, and how she always tries to include everyone into the little friend group she built. He also tells you how well you raised her, and how proud he is of you for that, but that’s not something you want to focus on, because it makes you think about inappropriate things.
“Then we will definitely be there.” Jake shows you another one of his bright smiles, white teeth on his display. Sometimes when you look at him, through the phone or in real life, you wonder what it is the two of you have. You wonder if it is just a friendship the two of you are building up, or if it is more than that. There are moments- you don’t know if you are imagining them or if they are real- where the tension between you heightens, so much it could be cut with a knife. There are moments in which it feels like if one of you makes a move something is going to happen, something big and heavy. There are moments in which you think that this could be it. This could be yours forever. It sounds crazy, farfetched, but Jake is the type of person you always wanted to spend the rest of your life with. He is the kind of person, you know would treat you right, the kind of person that would have a good influence on Nuri. You know you two haven’t fully gotten to know each other. Jake may be in a completely different chapter of his life. He may not want to commit to something so serious, especially since he is only at the start of his teaching job, or because he is too young to think about having a family. You don’t know what this is between you guys and while you desperately want an answer to that question, you don’t want to risk losing whatever it is the two of your built up in the past weeks.
But when you look at Jake again you can feel the same tension, heavy and thick. You notice his eyes darkening, the way he licks his lips more often and glances down at your own every few seconds. One move, it will just take one move, and one of you is going to break the distance between the two of you.
Jake gently places one hand on your thigh, and you can feel his warmth burning through the material of your jeans and right onto your skin. You have to swallow the gasp that threatens to leave your lips, shocked at what such a little touch from him does to you. His hand travels further up and it almost feels impossible for you to think clearly. Every last piece of sanity left your body the moment Jake touched you and all you can focus on is him. Him and his plump lips, him and his big hands that are touching you in the most alluring way. And him and his big brown eyes, pulling you in and hypnotizing you.
“Y/n.”, he whispers, voice hoarse and rough. Suddenly, his face is closer, lips almost touching yours. You just have to lean forward a little more, but you are frozen, lost in his scent. You want him, you need him. Everything inside of you screams for him, in a way you have never experienced. Your body is pulled towards him like a magnet, and you need him to take you home to him right now. 
But before any of you can suggest that a voice calls out for Jake in the background. Almost immediately the two of you pull away from each other, awkwardly looking around. “Hey Jake. I knew that was your big head.” A man, around your age, approaches the two of you. He is tall, with black hair and a few prominent moles on his face. His smile reveals two little fangs which you find quite adorable.
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t see you have any company.” The man awkwardly glances at the two of you, noticing that he just interrupted something between the two of you.
“All good, bro.”, Jake says, not being able to hide the disappointment in his voice. “Y/n, this is Sunghoon. One of my friends I told you about.” You show Sunghoon a polite smile, reaching one hand out to for him to take.
“It’s nice to meet you, Sunghoon.” Sunghoon can’t hide the surprised look on his face as he takes your hand and gives it a quick shake.
“Hold on, you are Y/n?” You nod your head at him, confused as to why he was reacting like that towards you. “Wow, I heard a lot about you.” From the corner of your eyes, you can see Jakes head falling into his hands, as he lets out a frustrated grunt. A smug grin appears on your lips as you cock your head at the boy in front of you.
“I hope you only heard good stuff.”
“You best believe it was only good stuff. Jake won’t stop talking about you. All day long he goes on about ‘Y/n is so-“ But before he can continue his sentence, Jake slaps one of his hands on the mouth of his friend, shutting him up indefinitely.
“That’s enough from you, Sunghoon. Man, you never know when to shut up.” Jake mumbles that last part, but you hear it anyway. All the doubt you had in your mind earlier leaves your head. Maybe Jake does want you the way you want him. Maybe he really is different than all the other man you met.
“Well as much as I wanted to hear whatever your friend had to say, I have to go now. It was nice meeting you, Sunghoon. And we will call later, right?” As you ask the last question, you look at Jake, eyebrows raised, waiting for his answer.
“Yes, of course. I will call you.”
“Okay, then see you later.” You give Jake a quick kiss on the cheek and show Sunghoon a last goodbye smile, before grabbing your things and walking to your car, leaving an embarrassed Jake and a widely grinning Sunghoon behind.
“So, this is Y/n, huh? Man, now I get why you won’t stop talking about her. She is hot.”
“Hey, come on. Don’t talk about her like that.” Jake shakes his head, blowing out some air from his lungs and closing his eyes for a moment to clear his still foggy mind. He still hasn’t recovered from the moment you two had just a few minutes ago. Jake was so close to kissing you, so close to asking you to go somewhere private, because he knows you felt it too. He knows you could feel the tension in the air, the arousal dripping from your body. He knows it, and he could feel it by the way your body was reacting to him. “She is so much more than just hot.”
“I’m just saying.” Sunghoon shrugs his shoulders, reaching one hand out to help Jake stand back up. “I’m glad you finally found someone, Jake. Happiness looks good on you.”
-
Nuri and you spent three hours baking and decorating the cupcakes for Jakes’ birthday party, and judging by the way Jakes friends stuff them into their mouths, it was worth the effort.
At first you were worries bringing Nuri to a birthday party with three strange men she doesn’t know but watching her giggle at the cream smeared faces of Jakes’ friends, all the worry flew right of the window. From the moment you entered the apartment the boys made it their life mission to entertain Nuri. They went from playing tea party, to performing dance routines, to laying on the ground and acting like they are mermaids. There was not one single wish Nuri expressed, that they didn’t grant in a heartbeat. She wants them to put on lipstick and towels as dresses to make a fashion show. Done. She wants them to act like knights and protect the princess- her- from a dangerous attack. Done. She wants them to carry her around, spin her in circles and throw her high up in the air every five minutes. Done.
And you can see that Nuri enjoys all the attention she is getting. She thrives in it, and it gives you a sense of relief.
“They are so good with children.”, you tell Jake who is sitting beside you, watching as Nuri counts down from ten to search for Sunghoon, Jay and Heeseung in a game of hide and seek.
“They are.”, Jake says, resting his head on your shoulder. “They all want children someday. We had that conversation before, so I knew that they would also love it when Nuri comes over.”
“And you?”, you ask Jake, looking down at him. “Do you want children?”
You can feel him smile from where he has his face buried in your neck. He leaves a gentle kiss at the space between your shoulder and your neck, before lifting his head to look into your eyes. “Yes.” There is no sign of hesitation in his voice, his eyes reflecting his sincerity. “Yes, I really want kids.”
“Now, or in a few years?”
“I don’t care.”, he says, grabbing one of your hands, and playing with your fingers just for a few seconds, before intertwining your fingers. “If now or in five years, I’m ready to have kids. I’ve always wanted them. Why would you think I work at an elementary school?” You can feel the weight lifting from your shoulders. This question has been bothering you for some time now, and now that it’s finally out and is answer is so fitting, you can’t fight the smile lighting up your face.
“Hey, you two love birds. I hate to interrupt your little moment, but I just wanted to ask you if it’s okay that we take Nuri to the playground a street down from here?”, Heeseung asks, looking straight at you. “Ever since we told her about the playground, she has been begging us to take her there. I swear we won’t be long, and we will take good care of her. I swear, I will never leave her out of my sight and stay by her side the whole time.”
This isn’t something you would normally do. You wouldn’t trust someone you barely know to take your child somewhere, but it’s something about the way they took care of her today that makes you trust them. And you trust Jake. You trust him to know what kind of people to introduce to your daughter. “Of course, yes.”, you tell Heseeung, smiling as you see the excitement on his face. “Just make sure to be back by dinner and to not let her on the swing for too long. She always gets sick when she’s on it for a longer time.” With one last nod and a ‘We promise to take the best care in the world about her’, they are out of the door.
It takes a few seconds for you to realize that you and Jake are alone. And it takes another few seconds for you to face the man sitting beside you. There it again, the look in his eyes, making you weak in his knees.
1, 2, 3 seconds pass and Jake can’t handle this silence anymore. He can’t handle the way you look at him and what it does to him. With one tug, Jake pulls you closer and it doesn’t take him long before he presses his lips against yours.
This is different than any kiss you have ever experienced. Jake kisses with a passion, with a longing, you have never felt before. His hands are on your body, in your hair, holding your cheeks. He pulls you onto his lap, never once stopping the heated kiss. You have your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you, needing to feel him everywhere.
There is an urgency in the kiss, a need to big it’s going to explode. Every pent of thought or longing the both of you have kept to yourself over the past week flows right into the kiss. It’s wild, passionate and so indescribable good. You can feel it tingling all over your body, waking up needs you didn’t know you have, thoughts you always tried to repress. Jakes hands wander over your body again, your thighs, your hips, your waist, your back. And it makes you moan softly into the kiss, breaking free just to take a deep breath which gives Jake enough time to explore the soft skin of your neck. He trails down kisses, stopping at the point where he feels your pulse and licking the sensitive skin.
Another soft moan slips out of your lips, and it drives Jake crazy. It makes his head spin and takes his breath away. There is no clear thought in his head anymore, everything is clouded by the pleasure of this moment. His hands pull you closer to him, eyes closing at the feeling of you, and you have to take another deep breath before whispering your next words.
“Take me to your room, Sim Jake.”
-
“You’re so beautiful.”, Jake whispers as he raises his hand to softly stroke your hair out of your face.
“Good morning to you too.” You have been waking up to the sight of Jake for the past few months now, and no matter how many times you see him like this, you never get used to the sight. His hair messy from the night’s sleep, his naked chest shining in the morning sun and his puffy pink lips puffy from the night before. He is gorgeous, ethereal even. No word describes the beauty he is carrying.
Jake pulls you into his arms so that your head lays on his chest and his arms are tightly around you. “I will never get used to this.”, he whispers. “This is a dream come true.”
“What is a dream come true?”
“You. This. Waking up next to you, getting to spend every day with you and Nuri. This, this is perfect.” You close your eyes, letting this moment sink in for a while. You capture it, take a mental photo and put it in a special box somewhere in your brain, so when things get hard again, this moment will remind you how easy life can be.
“I love you.”, you whisper softly, kissing his chest a few times before laying your head back down on it.
“I love you too, Y/n.” His voice is louder, clearer, like he never wants to hide those words from you, ever. “And I want this, forever. I know I have to move away soon for my job at another school, but we will make this work. I want to make this work. It’s just a two-hour drive, that’s practically nothing.”
You lift your head to look at Jake, admiring the soft glow of his skin. There is an ounce of doubt lingering in the air. You know that his move will complicate things for you. Visiting will be hard with Nuri having to go to school and you having to work every day, but there are always weekends. And if Jake believes that the two of you can make it work, then you will.
So, you nod your head, scooting up to leave a few kisses on his plump, puffy lips. “We can make this work. We will have to.”
-
The sun is shining brightly as you pull up to the school to pick Nuri up. Normally you would wait in the car until she walks out of the school, but since Nuri had an ‘end of the school’ project today, she wanted you to come in and take a look at what she made.
Life has been good, better than good, actually. Everything has been perfect. Jake had become a constant part of your lives, visiting a few times a week and taking the two of you out on trips. Nuri and Jake’s friends- well your friends as well now- have grown incredibly close. She doesn’t talk about anything else other than the boys and how fun it is to spend time with them. They have grown closer to you too, finding a weird kind of solace whenever you are around them.
Everything is the way you always wanted it to be. And sometimes you catch yourself thinking that everything is too perfect, that something is bound to happen any time soon to destroy the little perfect life you build yourself. But you never thought it would happen this soon.
As you walk inside the school, you search for the classroom where they exhibited the projects, stopping when you hear some voices not far from you. You know it’s rude to eavesdrop but when you hear your name in the conversation, you can’t help but to stop and listen.
“Yeah, apparently she and Jake are in a relationship.”
“What? Really? She is really trying to fuck herself to the top, isn’t she?”
“I mean we could have seen it coming, right? The way she always looked at him, like she wanted to eat him alive. It was concerning. It’s a real wonder he didn’t run away when he still could, but now she got him all under her claws.”
“I have known her since our daughters were in kindergarten, and she has always been like this. Whoring around and not caring about her daughter.”
“I mean I knew she was still young and immature, but that is shocking. First, she carelessly gets knocked up at seventeen and then instead of maturing she stays a naïve little girl who fucks her daughter’s teacher. If I were here, I would be embarrassed.”
“It’s no wonder she has no support from her parents anymore. I wouldn’t support my daughter if she were a disgrace to the family like she is.”
“I mean all that aside, I think she should take the time to mature first. She is still so young, not fit to be a mother. Maybe all she needs is a clear mind before she faces the hardships of life. Maybe no one taught her how to be an adult yet.”
“Are you defending her?”
“No, of course I am not. I’m just saying she needs a wake-up call. Something that will help her get all the horniness out of her mind and get her to take better care of her daughter.”
The world has stopped. You could feel it. The air feels heavier, time doesn’t go on anymore and all sounds went quiet. Everything has stopped, except for the thoughts in your head. A dark heavy cloud forms over your head, raining down on you with an intensity, you didn’t feel in a very long time.
Maybe you jinxed it. Maybe your constant worry of something ruining your perfect little life was the one thing that ruined it all together. You should have known it.
The worst thing is knowing that they are right, not with everything of course. You aren’t ready yet. There is so much you still need to learn, so many lessons you haven’t faced yet. You aren’t ready yet. You need to mature; become a proper adult and you really aren’t ready.
You noticed it a while ago, the lingering feeling in your chest whenever Jake was around, the nagging question in the back of your head. You noticed that there was a part of you- a part that grew stronger and stronger with time- that simply wasn’t ready for a relationship yet. And while whatever the women were saying was rude and uncalled for, they are right. They spoke out what you were too scared of admitting. They spoke out what you were too scared was going to ruin all the things you built up.
You can feel it now too, the pain consuming your heart, filling your lungs, and coursing through your veins. The tears filling your eyes, the stop stuck in your throat. But you can’t let it out, not here, not now. First, you have to be a mother. First, you have to look at Nuri’s project, tell her how proud you are of her and take her home to be the mother she deserves. Later, when she’s in bed, that’s when you can let it all out.
“Excuse me.”, you say, your voice surprisingly stable and strong. All four women turn around in a second, looking at you with wide eyes and open mouths. “I was searching for the classroom where they exhibit the school projects. Would you mind telling me where it is? I don’t want to get caught, what did you call it? Ah, yes, whoring around.”
A loud gasp leaves one of the mothers’ mouths and it takes all the strength in your body not to laugh out loud at their faces. One of the other women points in the direction of the classroom for you, gulping almost visibly as you show her a bright smile.
“Thank you so much.”, you say. As you walk past them, you stop, something nagging in the back of your head. “And don’t be jealous that my needs get satisfied every night, I bet your husbands will keep up eventually.”
-
You know that ignoring Jake’s calls wouldn’t be a good idea, but you didn’t think that he would turn up at your doorstep at 10 pm shortly before you were heading to bed.
You spent the past days thinking about your situation, about your relationship with Jake and your and Nuri’s future. Over and over again did you go through all the solutions in your head, trying to figure out what’s right for you, what you want. Because for once, just one time in your life, you have to think about yourself, what you need.
You thought that it wouldn’t take long for Jake to turn up at your doorstep, but seeing him standing in front of you, hair messy, cheeks tinted in a soft red and a worried look on his face, makes you want to change your mind all over again.
“Hey.”, he says, showing you a forced smile. “Are you okay? I was worried. You’ve been ignoring my calls. Did I do something wrong? Did I say something that hurt you? Because if I did then please tell me so I can make it up to you again. I swear the last thing I want is to lose you, but I can’t make it up to you if you don’t talk to me, if you don’t tell me what I did to make you shut me out.” There is an urgency in his voice, pain lingering in his words. You haven’t thought about what the past few days must have felt like for Jake, too caught up in your own head. He tried to call you multiple times and got disappointed every time you didn’t pick up yet again. It must have been torture for him not knowing if he did something wrong, not knowing the reason behind your sudden radio silence.
Looking at him like this, worried and distressed, tears fall down your face almost immediately. “Oh, baby.”, Jake softly coos. Carefully he takes a step towards you and as he notices that you make no move away from him, he pulls you into his arms, holding you tightly against his chest. “Please talk to me, Y/n. Please tell me what’s going on.”
You clear your throat, shakily wiping away the tears on your face. “I don’t want to hurt you, Jake. Please, you have to believe me that that is the last thing I ever want to do. I love you, so much. Sometimes it scares me just how much I do, but lately I’ve been realizing that I am not ready. I am not ready for this, not ready for a relationship. There is so much in my life that I need to fix, so much about myself that I need to fix. I still haven’t lived, you know? I don’t know what it is to actually live, to find myself, to know what I want and what I need. I have so much to learn. And I know that you would be by my side through whatever I am going through, supporting me and lending me a helping hand. But I realized that I need to do this alone. I need to fight through this on my own and grow from it. We are still so young, Jake, so much in our life can still happen and I don’t want you to get caught up in all of this. Especially since you’re moving away and starting a whole new chapter in your life.”
There is a beat of silence, a few seconds where everything is quiet. You only hear your own heart beating out of your chest. Jake wipes at his eyes, one, two times before he nods, slow and steady. “Okay.”, he whispers. Silence again. It’s like Jake is fighting with himself, having an inner conflict, he doesn’t want to share with you. He blows out a long breath, rubbing a hand over his face before looking back at you. His eyes red from the unshed tears.
“Okay, Y/n.”, he repeats again, blinking a few times. “Everything inside of myself is screaming for me to fight for you right now, to tell you that we can work this out and fix those things together. But I know you, and I know that once you made up your mind about something, no one can change that again.” He sighs another time, long and hard. “So, I will let you go. For now, at least. As you said, we are still young. This may be our end now, Y/n, but it won’t be our end forever. I will never give up on you. Someday, I will find you again. Someday, I will make you mine again.” Jake cups one of your cheeks in his hands, gently letting his thumb caress your soft skin. One small tear drops down his face, that is the only one he allows to escape, before he softly places a kiss on your lips. It is not a long kiss, not the type of kiss that leaves you breathless, yearning for more. It’s the type of kiss that is so soft, you wonder if it even happened after it’s over. It’s the type of kiss that rips you open from the inside, tears your heart out and leaves you bleeding out. It’s the type of kiss that makes you want to turn back time and fix all the mistakes you made in your life.
It's the type of kiss that makes you hope for a tomorrow, for a forever.
-
There is nothing you love more than a warm autumn day, watching the leaves fall down the trees, coloring the ground in bright orange and brown shades, or feeling the cold breeze in your hair. You love listening to the rustle of the trees, watching squirrels searching for nuts on the ground and tasting the fresh air on your tongue.
But what you love the most is sitting on a park bench, not one person in sight, with a book in your hand. It has become your favorite activity over the past few years. You read books like it is your job, finally having the time with Nuri almost being eleven years old. It became your little break from reality, something to look forward to on stressful days, something that would ease your mind.
Looking at the watch on your wrist, you realize that it’s almost time to pick Nuri up from her friends’ place, since you promised her to go visit uncle Sunghoon who lives a few streets from you. You put your book back into your bag, swinging it over your shoulder and standing up from where you were sitting to head to your car. But before you could even take one step, you stop in your tracks.
It's been years, you realize. Years since you’ve seen that familiar face. Years since you last hugged him, touched him, kissed him. Years since you heard his voice, seen his face. You almost can’t believe your eyes, thinking that your mind is playing a trick on you. But when you hear him speak for the first time, in what felt like forever, you know that this is real.
“Sunghoon told me I would find you hear.” He steps forward, not stopping until he is right in front of you. His wide, puppy like eyes, look down at you, lips pulled into a wide grin, as he takes the shock on your face. “Hey, Y/n.”
And that’s when it hits you. All the promises he made about not letting you go about making you his again. Now, years later, with everything different, he still intended on making all his promises come true. And you realize that it’s perfect. Right now, it’s perfect. Right now, you can start your forever.
“Hey, Jake.”
Bonus scene
You lean back in the chair on the front porch of the summer house you rented for you and the boys and watch the way Nuri teaches the other kids how to draw a butterfly with chalk. It’s a strange sight to see, Nuri all grown up, taking care of all the small little children. It makes a deep feeling of pride blossom in your chest, admiring just how far you have come.
“It’s crazy, isn’t it?”, Jake speaks up from the seat beside you. “Just how fast the time passes.”
You let your gaze wander to him, to his perfect face with his perfect eyes and perfect lips. He looks older now, more mature. But it is a good look on him. It suits you perfectly.
“It is.”, you say, letting out a soft side before leaning your back against Jakes chest, enjoying the feeling of being in his arms. “But I am so grateful for this. I am so grateful we get to watch the boys’ kids grow up. I am so grateful I get see Nuri so happy and content. And I am so happy I can be with you, Jake.”
“Forever?”, he asks, eyes looking deeply into yours and a soft smile, that is only dedicated to you.
“Forever.”, you answer his question, and you have never been more honest in your whole life.

Tumblr media
LEE HEESEUNG - SERIOUS
this man is a menace. 
like, he’s flirty, but that's not a normal amount of flirty, it’s like he’s the master of it.
this video of him keeping eye contact with this girl when they were performing at a school still haunts me (please, i hope you know what i’m talking about so i don’t look like i’m crazy about this man).
so yeah, heeseung definitely knows how to riize someone up.
that’s why he tried to flirt with you at the beginning of your friendship (but you rejected him).
but you discovered more and more about each other and you ended up being besties.
what you didn’t know was that heeseung never gave up the idea of going out with you one day. 
besides that, he’s very protective over you, but not in a creepy way, more in a “keeping an eye on you” way.
always notices when you’re uncomfortable and runs to help you everytime.
he also nearly got a degree in knowing what you need before you even say it or think about it. 
you had a bad day and didn’t tell him ? bet he would already know and be at your apartment, cooking for you when you come home that night.
but as much as he loves your relationship, he wants more.
and since flirting and hitting on you was not really efficient, he would try to be serious for once.
You hurried to your door when you heard someone knocking, the hoodie Heeseung had forgotten during your last movie night in your hands. He was in a rush, just passing by to get it before going to practice, so you quickly handed him the piece of clothing.
“-  Here ! I washed it too, so you wouldn't have to !”
Heeseung took it back, making sure that his fingers brushed against yours when doing so and smirking at you.
“- You didn’t have to, but thank you, I don't know what I would do without you.”
You rolled your eyes at his teasing tone and flirty remark. You were used to it by now, but you didn’t take it personally as he acted like that with pretty much everyone. You shoved him playfully, a little smile stretching your lips anyway.
“- Stop it, you’re a grown man, and I’m not your mom.”
He had tried to make you understand so many times how he felt about you, tried to make you feel loved and admired and adored. But you were obviously not in the right state of mind. Heeseung could understand why. Maybe flirting was not the right option. Maybe he could have done a better job at showing you how special you were in his eyes. 
“- I’m serious. I’m really serious, I swear. I know I joke a lot, but not this time. You really do so much for me, you’re always by my side and I don’t want that to change. I just… It was easier to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal when in fact, it had always been. I was serious all along. I really want to be with you.”
You were ready to laugh, and tease him for being so grave all of sudden, but all the snarky comments you could think of flew out of your mind at his confession. You shook your head, as if you couldn’t believe what you were hearing, and Heeseung was almost ready to apologize right away, thinking that he made you uncomfortable. You were always rejecting him after all, if that wasn’t enough of a sign, he didn’t know what was.
“- You’re an idiot Hee.
- I’m sor-
- I wanted you to be serious all along, I hoped you were because if you didn’t notice already, I like you.”
At this moment, you could swear that the brightness of his smile was overpowering the sun’s, practice long forgotten. 
“does that mean i can tell you how beautiful you are without turning it into a joke ?”
PARK JONGSEONG - SOFT
he’s 100% husband material.
sugar daddy too, because don’t ever think about paying for anything when you’re together. 
even when you simply mention needing or wanting this or that, he’ll hand you his card, not caring about the prize like woozi handing his black card to vernon just for him to buy bubbles lmao.
besides that, he’s a real gentleman.
grabbing your hand to help you get out of his car, holding the door for you, walking near the road on the sideway, carrying you if your shoes are hurting you during a night out, giving you his jacket or hoodie when you're cold, and the list goes on and on.
conclusion : jay is literally perfect.
so perfect that you think he’s out of your league, and he thinks the same about you, because you’re literally just as perfect in his eyes. 
you too clicked immediately, sharing the same interests and point of view about so many things, it was impossible to miss the chemistry between the two of you. 
that’s maybe why you ended up slow dancing together, a few minutes before the new year’s announcement. 
you talked all night, danced to much more fun songs, but now, with his hand on your waist, yours around his neck, and looking intently into each other's eyes, everything around you seemed to disappear. 
“- I know that I have not been there for you every time you needed me this year, but still, I was happy to spend another one by your side.”
You reciprocated Jay’s smile, shaking your head at his sweet words. He was always like that, and that made your heart flutter every time. How could anyone be so gentle and caring ? You didn’t know, but all you could do was enjoy his presence as long as he’ll want to stick with you.
“- You can’t be perfect all the time, that would be too hard to handle for you but also for me.”
Jay chuckled at your remark, still dancing with you at a much slower pace than a few minutes before. He was lost in your eyes, and he never wanted to escape from their hypnotic attraction. It felt like it was only the two of you, occulting all the people shouting and screaming around you. 
“- And I’m really grateful to have you in my life too. You make everything so much better.”
You smiled at each other, and as if you were attracted like magnets, you leaned into a kiss. Jay didn’t hear the countdown to new year, he was only feeling you, and how he wished he had done this sooner. When you parted, forehead pressed against each other, you couldn't help smiling like idiots. 
“- Happy new year Jay.”
“i think this one might be the best, because you’ll finally be mine.”
SIM JAEYUN - RAINY
he’s so funny fr.
like, the first time you met him, you ended up crying because he made you laugh too much.
he loved that you were always in the same funny mood as him.
you two definitely put yourself in a situation where one of you would crack a joke during a very serious event or moment, and both of you would crack up in laughter, unable to control yourself jake got in trouble after but it was worth it.
also, you were always teasing him right back, and he adores that you have a snappy remark ready to humble him every time.
besides making you giggle like a maniac, jake is a very good listener. 
you can count on him to let you ramble for hours about your problems, and he never complains about it. 
in fact, he enjoys these times when you two are a little more vulnerable, both of you opening up about your feelings.
i’m sure that he’ll wipe away your tears and run his fingers through your hair to calm you down.
he’s oblivious to his own feelings, that’s actually pathetic how down bad he is for you but don’t realize it. 
and so are you - to his, not yours, you’re in fact very aware of how much your heart flutters whenever he’s near you - because i swear how do you not notice how lovingly he looks at you ??
anyway, i think one of the guys will finally have a conversation with him about you probably sunghoon because he’s sick of listening to jake talking about you non-stop.
and yeah, that’s how he realized how much he loved you and rushed under the rain, calling you on the way, and he sounded so panicked you went out with your umbrella to meet him halfway.
You see Jake running in the distance, but you still don’t understand what got within him. You couldn’t figure it out over the phone, with his shaky voice and the sound of the rain and wind blowing in the background. And him embracing you in a tight hug as soon as he reached you didn’t help you out at all. He was drenched, soaking your dry clothes with his wet ones, making you shiver. 
“- Jake… Are you okay ? Why did you do that ? You’re gonna catch a cold without a jacket idiot ! Come here, I’ll make you a hot chocol- “
You didn’t get to finish your sentence before Jake kissed you passionately, your umbrella slowly slipping out of your hands, just for them to find their way to his hair while his were gripping your waist. 
“- I love you. I love you Y/N… I’m sorry I didn’t realize it sooner, I was an idiot. I think that I just internalized the fact you were too perfect for me and just settled for what I think was the most I could ever have with you.”
Tears freely spilled out of his eyes now, and just as he does for you all the time, you wiped them away, not caring about the fact that they mingled with the drops of rain on his face. You smiled sweetly at him despite shivering, not knowing if it was because of his confession or the chilly weather. 
“- You can have way more with me, you can have all you want because I love you too. I love you so much it started to hurt when you were so dense. 
- I’m sorry, I'm so sorry for making you wait for so long darling, but I'm gonna make it up starting now. What do you think about wrapping ourselves in a warm blanket and cuddling for the rest of the day ?
- That sounds great”
Only his smile answered you, and another kiss placed on your lips before he picked up your umbrella on the ground, shielding you from the rain again. The joy overflowing in Jake’s heart proved to him just how much he had wanted you all along.
“let’s go home then, i want to hold you and kiss you until you get sick of me.”
PARK SUNGHOON - ANGRY
at first, i think he’ll be very cold near you, but to his surprise, that doesn’t deter you.
you always greet him and talk to him even if he’s not very reactive.
as time passed, it turns out it was just him not being very comfortable around people he doesn’t know, and he loosens up little by little, allowing you to discover his funny and warmer self. 
now, he’s very sweet to you, not teasing you as much as the members partner privilege and you’re not even together.
sunghoon definitely takes you ice skating, and he has a lot of fun teaching you how to skate also an excuse to hold your hands, but that’s a secret.
he’ll laugh at you if you fall but after making sure you’re not hurt.
meanwhile you’re mesmerized when you see him on the rink, it’s like he’s floating around, and he’s so handsome too sorry, he’s been wrecking me hard lately.
he’s very special to you since the first day, but never seemed to acknowledge it so you kinda gave up on the idea after trying to leave some hints here and there.
so you started to date a lot, not caring about who it was as long as it keeps you from thinking about sunghoon. 
but it doesn't, and he gets really jealous. 
hearing you complain one more time about how shitty was the last guy you dated was his breaking point. 
"- And he talked about himself for hours, like, he wouldn't shut up about how much he lifted at the gym, it was so annoying and he didn't pay for his part either. Huh… It was horrible !"
Sunghoon rolled his eyes, taking another sip of his coffee - a necessity to survive your hours of venting about your dates, when he wished it was him who took you out every night. 
"- Then maybe stop giving a chance to all these assholes.
- Now you're being mean, Hoon."
You furrowed your eyebrows, not very happy about his comment. If only he knew he was the only reason you were dating so much. If only he could see how bad you wanted these guys to be him. If only he could figure out how much you wanted him, and not them. 
"- I'm not being mean, I'm realistic. 
- Why do you care anyway ? It's my problem, not yours !"
Sunghoon's blood was boiling. He couldn't take it anymore. He couldn’t listen anymore to you talking about your failed dates when that should be just you and him, in your little paradise. But since you started going out, all that shattered into pieces. He wanted you for himself. 
"- I care because I want to be the one dating you ! But you keep going out with these creeps when you deserve so much better ! And I want that "better" to be me ! I know that I could give you so much more ! Why can't you understand that !? Why can't you understand that I want you to be mine !?"
You stared at him in disbelief, shocked by his sudden change of tone, his screams echoing through your kitchen. 
"- Are you… Are you serious ?"
Sunghoon gulped loudly, unsure of what your hesitant tone meant, all his anger from before suddenly replaced by nervousness.  
"- I have never been more serious in my life. I've wanted you for so long, it's painful to see you dating them when I want to be them."
You smiled sweetly at him, grabbing his hand over the kitchen counter. 
"- Well… I've been dating so much because I thought that you didn't like me back. I was trying to get over you actually."
"now you don't need to get over me anymore, all you have to do is let me take care of you like you deserve."
KIM SUNOO - CUTE
a little sunshine who illuminates every one of your days with his smile.
you’re in a bad mood ? just take a look at his pouty face and you’ll be happy again.
he’s so cute please i need him in my life.
anyway, sunoo is not very slick about his crush on you.
he talks about you non stop to his members, always finding a way to bring your name into the conversation.
his eyes start to sparkle everytime you walk into the room, all his attention directed to you and only to you, staring intensely at you everytime you tell him about something, even if it’s silly.
because he loves your voice and also because he adores gossiping with you.
he’ll be the most extreme drama queen everytime you spill the tea, judging these idiots with you.
he’ll be the type to make a gag sound every time your ex is mentioned lmao.
and because he listen to everything you say, he knows about this exhibition you really wanted to see
so as soon as he had a day off, he would take you there, but as a surprise of course, the other was his confession.
“- Okay ! Now you can open your eyes !”
You did as he told you, immediately recognizing the museum in which the exhibition you wanted to see for so long was exposed. You turned to Sunoo with the biggest smile he’s ever seen spreading your lips before jumping in his arms, hugging him tight. 
“- You’re the best I swear ! I've wanted to come here for so long !”
Sunoo chuckled in your hold, snacking his arms around your waist to keep you against him a little longer. 
“- I know ! I had this planned for a long time, but I wanted to wait for a special occasion.”
You stepped back to be able to look him in the eyes, confusion filling them now. 
“- And what is that special occasion ?”
He knew that he had to do it, that it was the right moment, but his hands were shaking when he took yours, squeezing them to give himself some bravery. 
“- Today, it’s been three years since we met and started being friends. And I’m so glad to be by your side everyday, because you make my life ten times better. What I’m trying to say is that I really like you, and not only as a friend. You’re my soulmate, we’re literally the same person, and I don't want to spend another day away from you. All I ever wanted was you.”
Sunoo gradually saw your eyes water as he went on with his little speech. And he felt his own tears prickling his eyes as well. He was keeping his feelings for himself for so long, it was almost a relief to let them out, no matter what your answer will be. But as you intertwined your fingers, smiling brightly at him through your little sobs, he felt hope creeping up his heart. 
“- And you brought me there just to confess to me ? I… It’s the sweetest thing someone ever did for me. I can’t even express how meaningful it is, and how much I love it, and how much I love you.”
He reciprocated your smile as you wiped his tears away from his cheeks, feeling them grew hotter under your touch.
“how about we go see this exhibition and we get dinner after ? maybe that could be our first date….”
YANG JUNGWON - VIRTUAL
so sweet and caring 
like really he's your mom, always reminding you of what you have to do throughout the day, or what you have to take with you before going out.
if you have to take medicine, he'll remind you too. 
jungwon is also always doing little things for you that seem to be nothing but really, they mean everything.
he'll give you little notes on the days you're not doing well, hug you whenever you need comfort, and leave some of his hoodies at yours because he knows you love them. 
and no, it's not at all because he adores seeing you in those. 
besides, he also finds comfort in your presence.
being the leader of his group is not a piece of cake, but he always wants to be strong in front of his members. 
however, he doesn't feel the need to when he's with you.
he shares his thoughts and feelings freely, relying on you so much because you always manage to help him and cheer him up. 
so it was not unusual for him to call you when he’s on tour. 
it happened quite often due to the stress and pressure put on him, he needed someone to let it all out.
and it was one of those days, except that he was particularly sad this time, almost on the verge of tears - he didn’t let you see that of course, but you could clearly hear his voice shake every now and then. 
“- I’ve already told you Jungwon, but I’ll tell you again a million times if you need it. You’re an incredible leader, you’re doing an amazing job and I’m ready to fight however made you believe otherwise.”
The boy at the other end of the facetime call chuckled a little, and this sound alone brought a smile to your own lips. 
“- Then you’ll have to fight with me Y/N. 
- Don’t challenge me, you know I’ll do it.
- I know.”
His sweet smile got your heart doing backflips. Even when a thousand miles away, he still managed to fluster you - at this point, it got to be a superpower. You checked the time, and almost yawned just seeing how late it was. You worked tomorrow, and even if you wanted to spend hours talking with Jungwon, you had to go to sleep.
“- I’ve got to go, I have to wake up early.”
Jungwon just nodded his head, his own eyes closing against his will. The day had been really exhausting, and your voice and words were always so soothing to him that he felt even more sleepy. 
“- Hm… Goodnight angel, I can’t wait to be home and kiss you.”
You both reacted the same way : eyes opening wide, words caught up at the back of your throat, surprise and shock coursing through your veins. 
“- I’m sorry Y/N… It just- It slipped out before I could stop it.”
You wished you were with him right now, to wipe out his worried expression with a kiss. But all you could do right now was shake your head, a big smile eating your whole face.
“- Don’t apologize Won, I can’t wait for you to be home and kiss me either.”
Relief played in his eyes and he reciprocated your smile immediately, half hiding his red face in his pillow. 
“i hope you don’t have plans because you’re not going to leave the house for a week once I come back. I will need all the kisses and hugs I missed.”
NISHIMURA RIKI - PLAYFUL
he is a fucking tease, all the time.
do something stupid or pathetic and he’ll bring it back until the end of the day just for the pleasure of seeing you turn red in embarrassment. 
but you know how to get back at him, because you have at least a thousand stories about all the dumb things he did.
and he loves that you’re talking back at him and teasing him back, always having the right words to either anger him or shut him up.
overall, he’s a good friend and an incredible listener
because he feels like he’s not always the best with his words, he’ll show you that he’s here for you through little action like bringing you your favourite snacks when he comes over.
he tries not to be obvious with his crush, but it is and he’s only lucky you’re very dense because he has the biggest soft spot for you.
he always softens his tone when he speaks to you, always smiles at your stupid jokes, always comes running when you need him.
if you’re not into video games, he’ll definitely teach you how to so you two can play together.
he probably has a minecraft map just for the both of you and ditch his members if you ask him to play with you.
would not tease you as much as the others if you’re bad at it or if you did a mistake.
i think that game nights would happen pretty often, even if you’re not in the same room, you’ll call him to somehow play together.
“- I have your back Riki, go !”
You know you’re almost screaming in your headphones, and that your roommate is trying to work in peace right now, but you’re so close to winning your game that it doesn’t even cross your mind as you watch out for any enemies while Niki goes on to destroy the other team base. You hear your friend swear, and shoots echoing in your ears while you’re yourself dealing with some opponents. And suddenly, you saw the word ‘WIN’ settle on your screen and you’re squealing in joy in your seat.
“- Yes !! We did it ! I told you we could do it even while being only two !
- You’re a genius Y/N, I love your brain, I love you !”
Abruptly, silence settled between the two of you, the only sounds being the ones of the game still playing in the background as you tried to gather yourself. He never told you that kind of thing as a friend, always said he was not at ease with expressing his emotions through words. And this was everything but friendly. Or so you hoped. But when you were finally able to form a coherent sentence again, he had already hung up. 
But you couldn’t let him chicken out after he said something so important, so you called him again, and again, and again. When he finally picked up the phone, you could hear someone arguing with him in the back, before you heard his voice clearly.
“- Hey ! What can I do for you ?
- Maybe explain yourself about why you told me you loved me ?
- Aah ! This was nothing, really, just the heat of the moment I guess !”
Your heart was in your throat as you mentally prepared for what you were going to say next. You really hoped that Jake was right and that your crush was not one-sided. 
“- It's a shame because I was about to say it back actually, but if it was only that…
- What ? Are you like… Serious right now ? We’re not playing anymore, are we ?”
You smiled at the other end of the call, easily picturing his state of nervousness even if he tried so hard to play it off and keep on with his cool exterior.
“- I’m not playing Riki, I really love you too.”
The boy chuckled softly, making your heart do backflips. The effect he had on you was even worse now that you knew that your feelings were mutual.
“gosh, you don’t know how many times i wished i could call you mine, i can’t believe this is real...”

Tumblr media
HEESEUNG : blunt and clueless ; he is the clueless one, like his s/o would be telling me that he looks like a tall emo kid and he would still say "you think I'm tall 😍" smiling after ignoring the whole point and turning it into a compliment, shouts out for heeseung for being clueless or else no one would date your blunt ass.
JAY : loves talking and loves listening ; loves to listen every thing that comes out of your mouth, you need to talk about your crazy aunt, np jay got you even though he is trying to do his homework ; need to talk about your bais, np even though he is your boyfriend he will somehow listen to it, you name it he is always ears , likes to cuddle during your daily 2 hr gossip session "yn im sleepy~" — "so I was like bitch sit down- wait you want to sleep" no he is wide awake tell him about your bitch classmate "nah babe go ahead"

JUNGWON : confident extrovert with lots of friends and introvert who loves the extrovert ; you can't even count the number of times you felt like someone might take your jungwon from you but his caring and loyal ass proves otherwise "oi oi, where are you going, you are my lab partner" he grabs you by your hoodie "I just thought you have got someone else" drags you with him.

Tumblr media
milky early morning light is starting to pour in through the windows of your living room, where you definitely didn’t mean to fall asleep last night. you blink against the light, trying to ward it off because you’re still so tired and want to sleep more, but it’s next to impossible because the sun is starting to shine directly into your eyes.
with no clear way to go back to sleep, you start to stretch. at least, stretch as best you can when you’re laying directly on top of your boyfriend and his body brackets yours on all sides. he’s got one leg draped over yours, a hand resting on the small of your back, the other arm wrapped tight around your shoulders. his heartbeat is steady under your cheek, a nice reminder that he’s here with you right now, despite busy schedules and comeback season. most days, you find yourself wishing that this could be a constant thing, waking up in jake’s embrace, but that yearning is tenfold today for some reason.
maybe it’s because all of this feels so domestic. he’d come over last night to help you make dinner, giggling as he purposely bumped hips with you in the small kitchen. he’d done the same thing when you were washing dishes, your sides pressed tight together as he washed and you dried, slotting dishes into their correct places. and then you’d settled down on the small couch for a movie, except you’d laid down halfway through and promptly fallen asleep. clearly neither of you had woken up in the night to convince the other to go sleep in your actual bed. but 
isn’t that kind of nice? getting to share all parts of your home with jake, feeling comfortable enough to pass out on the loveseat? there’s some level of domesticity that comes with all of this, a very unfamiliar territory to you but one you’re growing comfortable in nonetheless. you’ve never felt more at home than you do right now with him; you really could just lay here forever.
he draws a sudden deep breath, arms tightening around you as he stirs. like instinct, a habit he’s had all his life, his breath is hot against your hairline as he seeks you out, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead. “g’morning.”
his voice is thick with sleep, accent heavy, and it makes you smile to yourself. he’s so adorable like this. you wish you got to see this side of him more often, make it yours and yours alone. you’re sure he shares the same sentiment about you, especially when you can hear the smile as he lets out a short breathy laugh when you reply with your own “morning.”
he rubs his hands against your shoulder and back, the heels of his palms soothing soft lines into your skin, his cheek against the top of your head. “guess we’ll have to rewatch the movie, huh?”
you shrug, snuggling impossibly closer. “i guess so. just gives you an excuse to come over again.”
he laughs for real this time, a short, quiet little giggle that has his chest rumbling underneath you. it makes you smile into his sweater, something bright and soft, ethereal.
“i’ll always find an excuse to come over,” he says in between the tiny pinpricks of light that come in the form of laughter. “you know that.”
you can’t help but join him in his giggling. he’s right; he’s used every excuse in the book to sneak over to your apartment at least twice a week for the last seven months. he forgot his phone charger, you’re sick and need him to run an errand for you, you have a delivery coming but you’re not home and need someone to sign for it, he left his favorite sweater on accident (this one is true, except he did it on purpose, but the other guys don’t need to know how much he loves the way you look in his clothes). he’s never had to do much to get himself out of the dorms and into your apartment during his free time. you’re just happy to offer him yet another reason to come over.
eventually, you both fall silent again, just basking in one another and the warm light as it creeps farther and brighter into your apartment, casting everything it touches in gold. jake has moved one arm to rest behind his head, the other drawing his fingers up and down your back in loose, uneven lines.
“what time is it?” you ask quietly, unwilling to move so you can see the clock on your wall or reach for your phone. jake is just too comfortable, too warm and you’re not ready to let him go just yet.
thankfully, jake is in the perfect position to reach for his phone on the coffee table and he picks it up with ease. “almost six-thirty.”
you let out a sigh and finally release one of your arms to drag the blanket that lays on the back of the couch over you. there’s the soft clatter of jake’s phone being set back on the coffee table and then he’s adjusted the blanket over the both of you, a smile evident in the small breath he lets out through his nose.
“too early,” you say once you’re settled again, voice muffled against his sweater clad chest.
“then go back to sleep, cutie,” he replies softly, nuzzling his cheek against the top of your head. his arms are back around you, nice and tight, his go to cuddle position that you’ve come to love more than anything.
you shake your head as best you can. “want to, but ‘s too bright.”
jake hums in response, a sound that has his chest rumbling under your cheek just a bit. his fingers wind their way back and forth across your shoulders as he thinks. birds are starting to chirp outside your window now, the world waking up with the sun when all you want is a little bit more time in bed with your boyfriend.
he shatters that desire almost immediately as it materializes, though he does so with a suggestion that is just as pleasant. “well, i’m not getting back to sleep any time soon either, especially since i have practice this afternoon… y’wanna go get breakfast at that coffee shop down the street?”
you pull your head up from his chest to look at him. you almost wish you hadn’t because he looks so pretty like this, hair messy from sleep and brown eyes caught by sunbeams that turn them molten bronze, and you nearly fall in love all over again. he smiles up at you, all soft and warm, a small grin that is reserved just for you.
“you payin’?” you ask, even though you know you don’t have to. jake always refuses to let you pay for anything, even things he won’t get any use out of like the pair of shoes you were planning to buy a couple weeks ago when you went out shopping together; he’d slipped his card into the machine while you had your head turned to pull out your own like the menace he was.
his eyes practically glitter in the morning sunlight as he nods, dropping his arms to your waist. “course i am. it was my idea.”
you smile and press a kiss to his jawline, the one place you can reach comfortably in this position. he leans into the touch, cheek pressed hot against your temple, always the sucker for physical affection.
“you’d pay even if it wasn’t your idea,” you counter, pulling away to look at him again.
he shrugs his shoulders and starts to sit up, so you adjust yourself too, kneeling on the couch between his legs. you reach to run your fingers through soft, golden locks of hair and he smiles, his own fingers playing with the hem of your shirt. 
“are you trying to say you don’t want me to pay for things anymore?” he questions. he tries to add an edge of a threat in there, but it doesn’t quite work when he’s leaning into your touch and looking more and more like the puppy his friends and fans (and you) equate him to.
“just stating facts,” you answer, a little bit of laughter in your voice.
he giggles with you, wrapping his arms fully around your waist again and pulling you into his body. somehow, in the struggle, he manages to stand up and starts carrying you towards your bedroom amid shrieks and your desperate attempts to latch your legs around his hips.
“gotta get a move on, baby, or else your favorite table’s gonna get taken before we can even get out the door.”
he knows you down to your favorite table at your favorite coffee shop. and you know that when you eventually arrive, he’s going to be able to rattle off your order like it’s song lyrics he has memorized. you’ll walk through broken glass before you ever let him go, especially when he offers his elbow to you ten minutes later when you step outside onto the sidewalk. this is the most in love you’ve ever felt and you hope he’s the only person you’ll experience this with.

gunwook— love story (by taylor swift) ˒ ꙳
that evening was a truly magical one. you on the balcony watching the sun go down the horizon as your new neighbour's son's figure across the street underneath attracts your attention, meeting eye to eye and suddenly your stomach feels all funny as your pulse rises. that was the start of your little romeo-juliet story but with a happily ever after. sneaking out at the middle of the night with him, skipping classes for quick picnics and doing all sorts of funsies you swore you’ll never do.
❛ It's a love story, baby, just say "yes!" ˳ ⋆
yujin— softcore (by the neighbourhood) ˒ ꙳
being in a secret relationship with an idol wasn’t so easy as you were stuck in the four confines of your room, occupied with studies and yujin on his run around the world doing various promotions and practices to secure his position as a qualified idol. but even in amidst of all you two survive on eachother, comforting and strengthing one another, keeping eachother alive from this hell of a life and healing the wounded souls of one another beacause everything's okay on nights where he sneaks into your room and you take a break for him.
❛ i might need you or I'll break ˳ ⋆

the first time you met him was seriously by coincidence.
your stomach had you hurling for the past few days, not to mention how sore you were from phys-ed class yesterday. you still remember asking your coach to let you off the hook for the day, but they denied your request – oh well, they were never a great teacher anyways, you think to yourself. your own boyfriend hadn't even checked up on you once to ask if you were doing alright. it’s not like you were going to burden him or anything… you just wanted a little bit of reassurance to get you through the week. was that so much to ask for?
as if all odds were finally in your favor, a light buzz from your phone snaps you out of your thoughts. you pick it up to see your boyfriend’s caller id. maybe this was it. maybe the gods finally heard your pleas to make life just a teensy bit bearable for you.
“hey, i think we should meet up for a moment. do you have time?” is the first thing he’s told you all week and for some reason, instead of the comfort you were anticipating, all you felt was sheer annoyance. not even a simple how are you? the lack of emotion he’s displayed just breaks your heart even more than it already is.
you still manage to reply, mimicking his dry tone instinctively. “yeah, where?” it's faint, but you’d be lying if you said there wasn’t a little hope in you. maybe he wants to meet in person to give you a hug, maybe a kiss? you desperately want that to be true.
“at the campus open grounds, you know, the one near that coffee shop?” he suggests through the call and you once your head despite him not even being able to see you. “okay, i’ll see you then.”
you couldn’t even believe he just asked if you knew where the open grounds were located. doesn’t he remember that’s the place he asked you out? perhaps it was an important event only to you. the thought manages to send a dry chuckle out your throat — it already didn’t seem like your little meetup with him was going to be of any help to your mood.
not much time had passed by the time you arrived at the chosen spot, setting your sights on a nearby bench to rest your feet as you waited.
a lot of people crowded the grounds today. it wasn’t usually this jam-packed, but you suppose the bright and sunny weather encouraged people to roam around outside. after all, the sky hadn’t been this pretty shade of vibrant blue in a while. you’re thankful the weather is good — at least something seems to be turning out well today.
your boyfriend arrives, albeit later than expected, even though he was the one who asked you to come out in the first place. you had been scorched by the sun’s rays for over ten minutes now, wanting nothing more than to just head back indoors.
“sorry i uh… took a while. i’ll make this short.” he states awkwardly, a bit too much considering you were dating. “i’m breaking up with you. i just fell out of love, you know that feeling, right?” your relationship was never the best, this was inevitably going to happen someday, but hearing it out loud was what did it for you.
out loud… wait. you look around to find practically everyone around you whispering to themselves, watching the scene between you and your boyfriend unfold — eating it up like it's the plot of a famous drama.
the shame, the anger, the embarrassment, you just wanted to get away from it all. the hope you gained earlier was all an illusion. your days weren’t going to get any better as the week just became like the stuff that comes out of nightmares. you utterly felt sick to the bottom of your stomach. not only did you get dumped, you got dumped in front of so many people.
without saying another word to your boyfriend — or should you say ex-boyfriend — you grab your things and take a run towards the nearest alleyway that just happened to be the one at the back of the coffee shop.
you crouch down to the floor, curling up into yourself as best as you could before finally letting emotions overtake you, just enough to calm you down. surely no one would find you here if you let out a tear or two, right?
wrong. whoever put that idea to your brain was a big dumbass (whoever being you) because a boy emerges through the shop’s backdoor and into the alleyway, presumably taking out the trash since he’s holding a familiar-looking black plastic bag. however, he quickly stops in his tracks, noticing your presence when there was usually no one else there. the alley was pretty dark after all – it gave most people the creeps but here you were, willingly occupying a small portion of the horrid area while bawling your eyes out. “um… i don’t usually do this, but do you want a cup of hot chocolate?” the guy offers, rubbing his nape sheepishly after noticing your tear-stained cheeks.
you can’t help but silently thank him for not bringing up your appearance in the conversation. you probably looked like a disheveled tomato by now, prompting you to wipe your tears with your arm to at least make yourself look presentable. “actually… yeah, that would be nice.”
you got a better look at him now that you were seated in the cafe, the warm lighting easing your nerves little by little. as expected of him, there’s a welcoming aura that surrounds his figure, a calm smile that’s sure to brighten up anyone’s day (including yours), a tiny little mole below his eye, and the shiniest hair that made you want to touch it — that probably wasn’t the most appropriate thought you’ve had all day.
what you didn’t expect was that he’d actually give that cup of hot chocolate free of charge. you didn’t even know who he was (and probably vice versa). still, it made you gain back a little bit of hope that was lost. with a soft smile now spread across your lips, you begin to ponder that maybe today could still turn out to be better for you.
-0-
the rest of your day goes better than anticipated, and you’re beginning to think that barista you met at the coffee shop is some sort of miracle worker or a lucky charm. even if he wasn’t, you sure do feel lucky you ran into him – though the situation wasn’t exactly the most ideal in hindsight. still, the thought manages to keep your spirits high all the way until you reach back to your dorm.
“ning yizhuo!” your sudden call turns two heads in the room, one being the said person, and the other being her cousin, renjun. the latter often came by and you were quite used to his presence and practically saw him as a brother.
“oh no, not the government name!” a sarcastic tone laces your roommate’s voice. truthfully, she had already heard about your breakup and was expecting you to be bawling your eyes right about now… except… you weren’t. in fact, you had a beaming smile displayed for everyone to see. weird – renjun had probably thought the exact same thing as they gave each other identical looks.
this goes completely unnoticed by you, dropping your bags before making yourself comfortable by the couch. “seriously, you guys won’t believe what happened earlier.”
“... you got dumped?” renjun voices out slowly, almost as if he’s testing the waters still.
“no! i mean yes, but that’s not what i was going to talk about.”
“why aren’t we talking about that? your ex was a douche- i can finally talk shit about him!” ningning cheers.
renjun clears his throat, “more importantly though, are you really fine?”
his words linger in your head for a bit. were you really okay? genuinely speaking, you didn’t feel much – probably because you expected your relationship to fall out eventually. both of you wanted different things and came to realize that. there was an underlying feeling of gratitude that your ex finally cut through the cracks of your bond, but you could definitely do without all the public shame though. that might continue to haunt you, but what’s done, was done.
“mhm, i’m really fine. i’ll get over him sooner or later.” you answer softly. both renjun and ningning could tell you were certain, silently agreeing within themselves to drop the topic completely. “but gosh, i probably wouldn’t have been able to make it through the day if it weren’t for that barista guy in the coffee shop.
you see renjun’s ears visibly perk up at the mention of a barista there, like he already knew who you were referring to. “do you mean the guy who works there? y’know, the one who kind of looks like a fluffy white dog and has a mole under his eye?” god, was he spot on with the description too.
“that’s him!” you gasp out, still in slight shock. you suppose renjun frequents the shop – especially since that’s where he and his girlfriend go to study. “huang renjun, are you psychic?”
that seems to bring out a snort in him, “you just knew that now?” he remarks rather playfully, “actually, his name is jeno. we’ve been friends for a pretty long while now.”
ah, so his name is jeno. you wouldn’t tell anyone, but you mayhaps ingrained that piece of information straight to your heart.
Tumblr media
the second time you met him, you just wanted to see him one more time after.
ever since you learned about his name from renjun, he seemed to pop up in almost every conversation you engaged with. was he always this popular or were you just really ignorant to the people around you? it’s crazy how much you’ve been thinking about him ever since.
“put a finger down if you’ve gotten butterflies from a stranger!” frankly, you’re startled at the command, forgetting that you were in the middle of a ‘never have i ever’ game with your group of friends. jeno just so happened to be there too since your friend groups actually aligned well within each other. with him personally being around, you couldn’t seem to focus on anything except him. it’s the nudge ningning aims at your shoulder that gets you placing a finger down, remembering you’re still part of the game. you suppose your brief interaction with jeno does count as part of this…
this small action had the entire group cooing. it was a bit overwhelming, not knowing what to do when so many eyes were set on you. wanting to brush it off, you simply give a shy smile to the crowd, persuading them to not go any further and just continue on with the game. luckily, that’s exactly what they do and you’re met with sweet relief – finally letting out a breath you didn’t know you were holding in the first place.
still, your gaze shifts back at jeno. had he realized you were the person that bawled their eyes out in the back alleyway of the coffee shop? had he realized you were the one he offered a free cup of hot chocolate to? had he realized you were staring at him like he held the entire universe in his hands?
but most importantly, had you realized he was looking back at you the same way? no? maybe that’s for the best.
the air was getting too stuffy in the room for your liking, you had to excuse yourself out for some fresh air. it was already pretty dark out and you weren’t sure when your friends would finally call it a night. frankly, the breeze was much colder now (and you kind of regret not bringing a jacket out), but at the same time it was calming and quiet – a sharp contrast to the lively atmosphere held inside.
that serene silence was cut off by the faint sound of footsteps coming from the main door, jeno’s figure coming into view. what was he doing out here?
“hey… inside got too much, huh?” guess you and him share that opinion as you nod in agreement.
“a little?” your nose scrunches up at the thought. “i don’t usually mind it but it does get me swamped sometimes.”
a small hum is what comes out as a reply, the both of you opting for the comfortable silence the night bears. a few ruffling sounds are heard coming from jeno and before you could ask him what was making the noise, you felt warmth embrace you from behind. it was a jacket. not just any jacket, his jacket.
“sorry, did i startle you? it’s just, you looked cold.” truth be told, you were far from cold after his gesture. isn’t this something someone would do when they’re in a relationship? why was jeno doing this… with you?
it was then you unconsciously already had your mind made up. you weren’t going to acknowledge it yet, but you were completely over your ex.
-0-
there was absolutely no chance of you getting sleep that night, especially after the events beforehand. though you enjoyed every moment you spent with jeno, you kinda preferred having a full night’s worth of sleep right about now. it’s a good thing ningning was able to grace you with a cup of coffee as soon as you woke up — you don’t think you would have gotten out of bed otherwise.
“seriously, what’s up with you two!” ningning squints her eyes with suspicion glazed over them, trying to get some sort of answer regarding your situation with jeno.
“it’s not what you think it is.”
“then what is it?”
huh. she had a point there. just what is your relationship with lee jeno? it was a little foggy to yourself as well. the both of you never had much conversations, but when you did, they managed to send cupid arrows straight to your heart without fail. this was so much unlike your past relationship. when was the last time you ever felt this way?
“it’s just small conversations, that’s all it is.” you finally reply, words acting more like a reminder to yourself rather than an actual response to ningning’s query.
“is that really true?” your roommate frowns with a sigh, “you know, i noticed the way he looks at you. it’s different from others.”
“you’re probably mistaking his kindness for something else, ning. i doubt this’ll even lead to anything.” your statement is brief, but ningning manages to catch the light thread of hope in your words, understanding you wished it would lead to more. that’s all she needed to know. she knew better than to push you just to ease her own mind from the heapload of questions she has stored away.
“just know, whatever happens, i’ll always support you, okay?” she smiles brightly like the gentle rays of sunshine that slip through your dorm’s sill curtains. “okay.”
Tumblr media
the third time you met him, you wished for nothing more but to remain in his company.
it’s just midday and you already feel like falling asleep. naturally, your feet bring you to the campus coffee shop, not registering the fact that jeno’s probably working his shift. in this moment, you were too sleep deprived to care.
“hi, can i get one chocolate chip frappucino-” you finally look up to see jeno’s familiar face right in front of you, recallings of the night before plaguing your thoughts and sending a surge of adrenaline in your body. suddenly, you were wide awake and could probably last the whole day with or without the coffee you were about to purchase.
“y/n, it’s nice to see you.” he greets softly, eyes scanning your features to find dark bags staining your usually lively eyes. “i think i’ll add another shot of espresso to your drink… you might need it.” he mutters out, more so to himself.
you can’t help but smile, finding his slight worry for your well-being to be endearing. “i’ll add that espresso shot then.” you chuckle, catching him off guard as he didn’t expect you to hear him.
“i’ll make sure to prepare your drink well.” he finally replies, punching in your order as you move to find a seat to occupy while you wait.
it doesn’t take long for jeno to approach your table, a drink with a swirly straw in hand. to your surprise, instead of simply dropping off the drink, he takes the seat in front of yours before setting it down. “i’m actually on my break right now but i wanted to talk to you. i hardly see you on campus after all. aside from when you visit here, that is.” it’s almost laughable at how predictable your response is to anything he does, feeling your stomach gain the now familiar fluttery sensation you always experience. when it comes to him, it seems to never get old, but none of that was the main point.
he wanted to talk to you. he went out of his way for you. he could be spending his break time elsewhere, but he’s here with you. perhaps you were overanalyzing his actions, yet you can’t stop the heat that creeps up your cheeks.
“sure, take a seat- i mean, you already did but-”
he chuckles, a slip of a smile coming into view. “your drink by the way.” he motions at the sweet drink you ordered. “i added more chocolate chips for you too.”
“spoiling me now, are we?”
“you caught me!”
talking to him just felt so natural. there was never a dull moment, and when silence would fill up the air, it was never thick and heavy, but light and freeing. you quietly sip your drink to these thoughts, occasionally wondering if this would be what it felt like if you two started dating- you’re thinking too ahead for someone who hasn’t even come to terms with their own feelings. you should just enjoy your time with him.
-0-
since then, you and jeno have grown closer to the point where you frequently talk on the phone at night. neither of your paths often crossed during the day, so these calls definitely made up for that – at least for you. through them, you’ve come to learn that jeno usually plays video games until the crack of dawn, sometimes even streaming his screen for you to watch. tonight, you decided to prepare ramen for yourself so you had something to eat while watching him.
“what flavor are you making today?” his voice is a lot huskier than it usually is during the night.
though this isn’t something new to you, there’s still that cozy feeling that almost feels domestic, and sometimes, you can’t help but squeal to yourself and kick your feet in the air. ningning even asked if you were alright because she thought you had gone crazy after hearing you from her own room.
“i think this one is cheese flavored? i’m not really sure since ning buys our groceries.”
“you should prepare me some when i come over next time. i wanna try some too.”
did he want to come over? your mind immediately fills with the idea of jeno visiting your dorm (or humble abode as ningning likes to call it). he’s seen glimpses of it as your background when you’d facetime each other, but what would he think about seeing it in person? there’s that famous saying that your home reflects your personality, after all. you don’t realize it, but you go dead silent, completely encapsulated by your imagination.
“hello? you’re still there, right?” he calls out for you, it’s much softer this time as if he’s checking up on you in case something happened.
“yeah, yeah i’m here. come over next time, then.”
he does, in fact, come over as soon as he got the chance to. honestly, he resembled an eager golden retriever exploring a new area the entire time you showed him around your dorm, having only seen it through a screen. on some occasions, he would point out a random trinket you had on display, saying it looked like you. he said the same about your potted succulent and you’re not sure how you feel about that one, but nonetheless, he seemed to be enjoying himself and that’s all that mattered. you were practically worried over nothing the other night.
“didn’t you say you were going to prepare me a little treat too?” jeno questions, finally finished with going around the dorm room.
“hm? oh, right the ramen-” you recall, immediately taking a few steps to the kitchen to prepare what you had promised him. “make yourself comfortable, i won’t take long!” it really doesn’t take much to make instant ramen, after all.
once it finishes boiling, you carefully transfer it to one of those gold-colored, aluminum pots to keep the ramen warm – making sure to add a few toppings to the dish to make it a bit more filling.
you make your way to the living room, seeing jeno on his phone by the couch. there’s that domestic feeling worming its way up on you again that has you wondering how it’d be like if jeno was your boyfriend. would he come visit over often? would you be able to visit his dorm sometime? the thought continues to remain on your mind for the entirety of jeno’s stay.
you really wanted this moment to become just as frequent as your nightly calls with him.
Tumblr media
the most recent time you met up with him, you finally acted on what you’ve been holding in all this time.
ningning had invited you out to a party, luring you in by slipping that a certain someone was also going to be there. all jokes aside, you knew she also just wanted you to have fun, it’s been a while since you’ve gone out to a party anyways.
the event wasn’t anything fancy, your average college party hosted by one of the frats. you wore a black mini dress, one you bought but never got the chance to use until now. it fit you perfectly in all the right areas, but it took a lot of convincing from ningning’s part for you to actually buy it. you surely had to thank her now or else you wouldn’t have anything to wear for tonight.
“you’re finally wearing it!” it seems you weren’t the only one excited to see yourself wearing the dress as your roommate’s eyes sparkle at your outfit. “here, here. i’m letting you borrow these too since they match.” she hands over a pair of black earrings made with sequins and glass beads. it looked perfect for the look.
“thanks, it isn’t too much, right?”
“not at all! plus, it’s a party. who cares what others think- what’s important is that you look good!”
this makes you let out a small laugh, she was right. she always is. “okay then, let’s go?”
“lets!” ningning takes her purse from the coffee table before linking her free arm around yours. “we should get going if we don’t want to be late.”
it’s a good thing you both left when you did since the two of you arrived just on time. the party had already started a few minutes ago with some people already wasted (they probably drank before everything even started…). it doesn’t take long for you and ningning to manage through the sea of people, finally spotting a couple of familiar faces by the corner of the room.
“hey, you two made it!” renjun beams alongside his girlfriend, a plastic red cup in hand containing who knows what. “oh y/n, jeno’s by the kitchen. he was asking where you were before you arrived.”
“oh? thanks jun, i’ll go see what’s up.” you offer him a small smile before leaving ningning’s side and trying to find where the kitchen was located. after a bit of roaming around, you eventually find the boy you’re looking for.
cheeks flushed, dazed eyes, and a lopsided expression. jeno was probably no where clear from sober by the looks of it. guess you weren’t going to drink today, especially when your friend isn’t in the right state of mind.
“jeno? renjun said you were looking for me.” you call out to him softly in hopes he could hear you through the music that’s blasting on the speaker system.
by the sound of your voice, his head quickly turns in your direction. “y/n! i’ve bween looking por you everywhere!” he immediately wraps his arms around your figure, burying his head in the crook of your neck. your cheeks have flushed now too, not from alcohol, but because of the way he’s hugging you.
you never imagined jeno to be big on skinship while under the influence – well, you’ve never dealt with a tipsy jeno in general until now, so this was truly going to be one hell of an experience.
“have you, really?” you question him, patting his hair. “i’m here now though. did you need me for something?”
you feel him nod against your shoulder, “i wanted to kiss you but you were nooowhere to be found, and then renjun gave me a drink, and then haechan started laughing, and then i started laughing-”
he was beginning to ramble off and probably won’t remember any of the things he’s telling you right now. would that also include how he just confessed he wanted to kiss you? you know jeno’s just drunk, but there’s a part of you that hopes he wouldn’t forget that. you urge him to stand up straight for a moment before letting him lean onto you for support. the best you could do was probably have him sit outside for some fresh air (and maybe a cup of water).
-0-
the two of you are now seated silently next to one another with jeno’s head resting on your shoulder, and it’s reminiscent of the first time you actually had a proper conversation with him. the night was just like this, and yet, so many things have happened already since then.
“hey, about what i said earlier…” oh, he sobers up rather quickly. “y’know, about the wanting to kiss you and all that.”
you turn to face him with a bittersweet expression, the nearby streetlamp placing a soft glow over your features and jeno wonders where that solemn look on your face is coming from. “hm? no it’s alright. i’m sure we all say things we don’t mean when we get drunk. it’s normal.”
“well no, because, i did mean it.”
“that’s okay- huh?”
“i like you, y/n.” although its dark, you know he’s staring at you, waiting for you to respond.
“i… i do too, but we just met like a month ago.” you hadn’t even come to terms with your own feelings yet. “wouldn’t we be, i don’t know, going a little too fast? maybe both of us aren’t currently in the right mind.”
“that just proves my point even more. in a mere month of us getting to knowing each other, i’ve come to learn so much about you, grown so fond of you, and… i just want to be with you. trust me, i had a lot of time to think, but if you need more time. i’ll wait for you.”
now you were conflicted. did you really need more time to understand your own emotions?it’s not like you hid your affection for the boy, instead, it was quite the contrary. people started looking for you through jeno and others asked you about jeno’s whereabouts. its as if you two were now two peas in a pod, and everyone knew. were you going to break something you cherished just because you felt like your emotions hadn’t been sorted, when in reality, have been perfectly laid out right in front of you all along?
“no. no need.” your eyes crease as you smile at him, “i know what i want, and it’s you. it’s always been you.”
he doesn’t need any more validation than this, snaking his arm around your waist before pulling you close, lips barely touching. “can i kiss you?”
“please.” you surely don’t need to tell jeno twice, wasting no time as he quickly locks your lips with his own in such a way that you’d think he’s been pining over you longer than you had originally thought. you hadn’t drank a drop the entire night, but you felt so giddy just kissing him.
jeno pulls away first, and you already feel breathless from such a short kiss. slowly, he brings a hand up to cup your cheek, thumb rubbing small, comforting circles onto your skin. “should we head back now?” honestly, you didn’t want to just yet, still unable to hide your smile from the lingering touch of his lips. still, you knew better than to stay out for too long.
“yeah, the others are probably wondering where we went.” and with that, he pulls himself off the ground, extending a hand out to help you get on your feet.
“let’s go back in… slowly, okay?” you giggle out, still wanting to cherish the moment with him.
“how could i say no to you?”
eventually, you do make it back into the party, quickly spotting your group of friends.
the sight of you both sporting puffy lips and rosy tinted cheeks, not to mention your lipstick smudged on the corner of jeno’s lips had everyone raising a brow. neither of you had noticed that because it was so dark out… um, oopsies?
ningning manages to connect all the dots together, a loud gasp erupting from her that startles the rest of the group. “OMG DON’T TELL ME! no wait actually please do confirm- PLEASE TELL ME YOU’RE TOGETHER?”
you and jeno look at each other with a knowing look, feeling his hand reach out for yours before you happily reply, “yeah, we are.”

a/n: thank you for requesting !! i hope you like it :))
male reader (he/him pronouns)
Tumblr media
⋆。°✩ sunoo
Tumblr media
(word count 250)
you absentmindedly twirl your pencil in your hand as you continue to review your notes. your neck aches from spending hours hunched over your textbook and your head throbs with a growing migraine. 
sunoo glances over at you when you let out a long sigh, letting your head fall against your still-open book. he chuckles softly as he reaches over to pat your back in encouragement. “come on, hyung,” he says, shifting slightly closer to you. “it’s only a few more problems.”
“a few more problems and at least an hour of reviewing all of this later,” you grumble; your voice is muffled by the thick fabric of sunoo’s stolen hoodie. you finally force yourself to sit up, glancing over his shoulder at his finished worksheets. “how are you so motivated all the time?”
“i’m not,” he chuckles. you simply groan in response, this time leaning backwards against your chair. “here, i’ll help you.”
sunoo pushes his own notes aside before shifting even closer to you. you perk up at his offer, leaning in so your head rests against his shoulder. “thank you,” you whisper. “you’re so cute.” 
sunoo’s face flushes at your compliment as he turns to look at you. his eyes stare into your own for a few seconds before his gaze falls to your lips. you nervously lick them - an unconscious habit. “hyung,” he finally whispers. “i think i like you.”
his blush deepens as your lips quirk into a bright smile. “i like you too, sun.”
⋆。°✩ jungwon
Tumblr media
(word count 259)
a small flower placed neatly on your desk catches your attention as you enter the classroom. carefully tied around the stem was a folded note perfectly tucked into a small piece of twine. you set the flower aside before unfolding the paper, exposing a small love letter.
my dearest y/n,
your smile lights up every room you enter. your laugh brightens my day in ways i never thought were possible before meeting you. i promise to cherish and support you for as long as you let me. all i know is that i’ve fallen for you.
meet me on the roof when classes end if you feel the same.
love,
yours truly
you softly smile to yourself as you recognize the familiar handwriting. you tuck the letter into your pocket before sliding into your seat. 
Tumblr media
jungwon anxiously fiddles with his hands as you walk up the steps to the roof of the school. “wonie,” you smile. his cheeks flush a light pink as you reach into your pocket, pulling out the love letter he had left across your desk earlier that day. 
you step closer, reaching up to cup his face with your hand. you brush your thumb against his skin before you lean in to press a sweet kiss against his cheek. “i like you too.”
jungwon smiles brightly as he reaches up to wrap his arms around your neck. “will you be mine?” he whispers, his dark eyes staring into your own. your answer comes in the form of a sweet kiss pressed against his lips.
⋆。°✩ niki
Tumblr media
(word count 247)
“hyung,” niki calls, dribbling a basketball in his hand as he jogs over towards you. the ball bounces loudly against the concrete of the makeshift court.
“ki,” you smile. 
“are you up for a game?” he asks, momentarily pausing to hold the ball up. 
“that depends,” you hum. “what’s in it for me?” “how about… loser has to confess his darkest secret.”
“darkest secret?” you repeat. niki nods as he returns to dribbling the ball around you. “fine. you’re on.”
niki jumps, tossing the ball into the hoop. it bounces against the backboard once before it falls straight through the net. “best of five!” he calls as you both rush over to grab the ball once again. 
Tumblr media
“yes!” you cheer as the ball falls through the net for the final time. niki lets out a dramatic huff of disappointment as you jump over to wrap your arm around his shoulders. “come on, ki,” you tease. “what’s your secret?”
he purses his lips before relenting with a soft sigh. his face flushes as he looks up at you; finally making eye contact. “i like you,” he whispers.
your eyes widen in surprise for a second. niki’s gaze falls to the ground - almost ashamed. after a few seconds you step closer, tilting his face up so he’s looking at you once again. “can i kiss you?”
niki gasps before he nods slightly. you softly smile, cupping his cheek before you lean in to pull him into a sweet kiss.

oo i just saw your enha and lessera reading, it’s so interesting!! if you have some time could you do a similar reading for enha and ive? they’re my ults!! 🫂
what do enhypen and ive think about each other?
based on tarot. i do not know these idols personally. energies are always changing. what i say is NOT straight fact. pls take it with a grain of salt!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
enhypen > ive
heeseung devil, 6ofw, 6ofsw&empr+char phew, what a start? i keep hearing "arrogant" for him. thinks they're complacent, big-headed.. like they let fame get to their head too much. there might've been a member he found very beautiful and actively approached, but has since moved on from. jay 2ofw, aceofc, 7ofw doesn't seem too close to them, but there might've been opportunities for him to grow closer, that didn't develop much. thinks they have strong and opinionated personalities jake 9ofc, 5ofw, 4ofp&knofc thinks they're very confident and proud people who have a lot of things going well for them, but also have a lot of suitors, and aren't that easy to get close to. might've flirted with some of them sunghoon herm, 5ofc, queofwrx, 10ofp, sun&kingofp thinks they're a very career-oriented and financially stable group, believes they could go on for a long time. some regrets and unwanted distance he's feeling, might've tried to get in contact with one of them more but didn't succeed sunoo temp, death, empr, queofw his thoughts on ive are very balanced and chill, nothing crazy or outstanding. the energy is sweet though, he sees them as beautiful and strong women, who have transitioned a lot over the years. (getting the feeling that getting along with girls comes to sunoo very naturally. i bet he has many girls he's friends with. i can see him gossiping with them a lot lmao) jungwon tower, justice&kingofsw, 3ofp&hangm very strictly "business and no feelings" here. sees them as colleagues. thinks there's a sense of unpredictability to them niki 9ofc, world similarly to jake, sees them as a very fulfilled and successful group, who are aware of their worth. also very wellrounded and capable of various things
in general, i'm getting a lot of respect for their achievements and overall their work. personally, they seem to think they're a group of successful girls who know what they want and what they are, and who aren't necessarily the most friendly, more distant and closed off. more invested in their own world, don't care about engaging with them. very unbothered vibe, in a "we're just doing our own thing and killing it, what about you?" type of way.
ive > enhypen
gaeul aceofw, 6ofc, 8ofw thinks they're very creative and ambitious. might share some fond memories with some of them and still talk from time to time, some nostalgia here yujin 9ofc, 4ofp, 5ofsw&3ofc thinks they're confident and proud of their achievements, but overly uptight and careful. like they care too much about what others think? i keep seeing her think "lol chill and let lose a little" rei 2ofp, 5ofp, 6ofw thinks they have a lot going on, busy all the time. also respects them for coming out stronger and successful after going through some tough times wonyoung temp, 3ofwrx&aceofprx always gives me this vibe she doesn't concern herself with anyone else, in a positive manner. like she respects everyone, very peaceful. still might think they don't really have established stable foundations to go very far, like they keep missing opportunities, and are still shaky. liz 4ofw, 7ofw+3ofsw, fool, aceofc sees them as this happy and carefree group of boys, very bright and positive energy for her. but also thinks they get defensive and feel attacked and hurt pretty easily, like they're overly sensitive in her eyes. leeseo 9ofp, aceofw, hier&moon+fool thinks they're financially sufficient, independent and very creative guys. they have a lot of potential, but are somehow blocked in their freedom.. like they stick to the rulebook a lot, don't take many risks. she believes they could get even higher if they went out the box a little more.

Singles inferno with enhypen hyung line episode 3 inferno
Tumblr media
previous part masterlist next part
pairings: heesung x reader, jay x reader, sunghoon x reader
word count: 4k
warnings: flirting, mentions of making out, anxiety, swearing, y/n is a bit indecisive
bright sun woke you up after staff pulled up the blinds. you blinked twice and realized where you are. all the memories coming back to you rapidly, arriving at inferno, first meal, couple matching, car ride with Heesung, dinner, swimming at night, Heesung’s lip on your while you made out in the kitchen. wait did that really happen? maybe it was just a dream? projection of your tired and overstimulated brain. you got so caught in your thoughts that the staff had to repeat themselves for the third time until you realized they are speaking to you.
“y/n please start getting ready. we’ll start filming you now. breakfast in 30 minutes!” someone rushed you to get up.
still very much in the haze you climbed out of your bed and headed to the bathroom. you quickly locked the door behind you. great, they were going to start filming right away so you had no chance of talking with Heesung about what happened at night. you started washing your face trying to get your brain to think faster. it was real. you knew it was. you still felt his burning touch and sweet taste of his lips. you immediately felt hot at the memory. now you needed the cold shower.
when you left the bathroom Heesung was already sitting in your bedroom fully dressed, styling his hair in front of the mirror.
“hi pretty” he greeted you with a bright smile.
“hi Hee” you smiled trying not to panic and went to grab your outfit. you packed short jeans skirt and corset for today. quite bold but you loved that combination. it looked super good on your body. after you got dressed you joined Heesung in front of the mirror to do your make up.
“wow look at you stunning as always. and we kinda matching” he winked at you. he was right, your skirt was matching with his dark blue shirt.
“is that destiny?” you decided to flirt just as he would.
“we’ll have to find out” he gazed at you with dark eyes. seems like memories from last night got to him too.
breakfast was such a feast, fruits, yogurts, pancakes, bacon, eggs - so many delicious things. you ate in silence sending each other knowing smiles and gazes. you wondered what will viewers think about your change of behavior compared to last evening.
“guys please talk, we need to make some content” director urged you finally.
you both laughed a little bit embarrassed but complied.
“so did you enjoy the last night?” Heesung asked with playful glint in his eyes.
you did not miss how he used word “night” specifically. you were sure what he was referring to.
“i enjoyed it more than i would like to admit” you answered munching on some mango.
“oh really?” he raised one eyebrow. “i enjoyed it too. a lot”
he grabbed a strawberry and handed it to you, you took a bite hesitantly surprised by his action. his fingers gently touched your lips as he was feeding you. it sent shivers down your spine, straight to your core.
“i’m wondering how coming back to inferno will be. i hope we spend a lot of time together.”
his words made something flatter in your stomach. but before you could respond loud announcement disturbed your breakfast.
“y/n you can’t come back to inferno with Heesung today” the voice said.
you mouth dropped and you looked at each both shocked and worried. did they found out about your kiss? are they going to expel you from the show? you started sweating. but were you the only one to blame?
“y/n new contestant is waiting for you in the lobby. please come back to inferno with him” voice continued.
Heesung eyes widened same as yours.
“what the fuck?” you asked surprised. Heesung looked angry now.
“what about me?” he asked.
“i have no idea what is going on.”
you were both mad confused. will Heesung have to come back alone? or will he even come back? you started to get worried.
“y/n you need to leave in ten” director urged you.
breakfast was abandoned, you quickly started to grab your stuff from around the apartment. many different emotions were stirring in your belly. you felt a tingle of excitement to meet the new contestant. but at the same time you were anxious and didn’t want to leave Hee.
„i don’t want you to go” he whined lying down in bed.
“i don’t want to be separated from you Hee, but we’ll see each other soon right?” you weren’t really sure.
“i guess” he didn’t look convinced. “don’t fall for another guy” he joked.
“and who said i fell for you?” you laughed.
“take care pretty” he said goodbye looking at you with a serious expression. for the moment you thought he was going to kiss you but then he stepped back and waved.
you made your way downstairs. bitter excitement buzzing in your veins. you carried your bag through the lobby. cameras shooting you from every angle. you felt like the star. white cabriolet waited for you in front of the hotel. inside you saw a sun kissed blonde guy in sunglasses. when he spotted you he immediately hopped off and opened the door for you.
“hello, i’m park jongseong, you can call me jay.” he introduced himself and you took a closer look at him.
he was very handsome and looked super cool with his precisely styled blond roots and undercut.
“hi, nice to meet you, i’m y/n” you responded sitting down in the car. Jay closed the door and circled the car to get in.
“what a way to make an entrance as a new contestant” you pointed at the elegant car. it looked expensive.
“a new contestant ?” he looked at you confused. “i thought it was you.”
you looked at him awkwardly. you had no idea what he meant.
“i joined yesterday with everyone, went to paradise and today they asked to leave my date and meet new person” you explained.
Jay’s eyes widened at your words.
“what the heck? it was the same for me!” he exclaimed.
“you were in inferno?” you looked at him questioning. was he trying to prank you?
“yes, me and other four people.”
“four?” you raised an eyebrow. “in my inferno there was six. everyone went to paradise.”
“wait does that mean there are two infernos?” he asked cautiously after few moments.
you thought about it for a second. it must be it, there’s no other explanation.
“looks like it” you confirmed quietly shocked at the discovery.
“we’ll find out for sure soon..”
you were still frozen from shock. Jay leaned over you, grabbed the seatbelt and fastened it for you. it made you blush involuntarily, he emanated such a masculine energy.
“let’s go?” he asked.
you nodded and he started the car.
“so they are separating the couples now? that’s interesting.” you commented after you drove for few minutes.
“not much separating on our side, me and Jia were the only couple.”
“oh really??” it meant you’re going to meet a lot of new people who hasn’t have a date yet.
“this season is so intense. so many things happening! i’m excited to find out what’s next” Jay started sharing. “i was actually surprised that there were only 5 persons, now it makes sense.”
“yeah i was wondering the same. also our island looks completely different. it’s very wild and hilly, there was a lot of walking.”
“oh so you’re going to enjoy my inferno. there are two beautiful beaches. i can’t wait to see sunset there, must be beautiful” his voice was soft and dreamy. you knew him for 15 minutes but already started to like his aura. it was so different from Heesung’s.
“but did you enjoy your evening in paradise?” you were too curious not to ask.
“the room was so pretty, super luxurious. and i ate delicious food. so it was pretty cool overall.”
“but did you enjoy the company?” you continued.
“hahah it was alright.” he didn’t seem very enthusiastic. “and you?”
“i really loved swimming at night, view was amazing. we had a good time.” you did not lie but also did not reveal too much. you knew you should be careful with your words.
“oh we didn’t go swimming, but we were in the spa, massage was great” he explained.
“that must’ve been so nice. if i ever go to paradise again i want to try it too” you got excited, you’ve never been in a spa, always too busy, but wanted to experience it since forever.
“i’m more than sure that you’ll go again” Jay answered and looked at you, keeping his eyes on your for few seconds. you felt heat both at his words and gaze. was he sending you a message? or are you reading into it too much? you wondered.
“we’re here” he announced as you made it to the helicopter. you unbuckled your seatbelt and starting getting up but he stopped you gently grabbing your wrist. it was first time you touched and you felt a jolt of excitement. “wait i’ll open the door for you.” he simply said.
Jay also took your bag, refusing your protests.
“it’s heavy, i got this, don’t worry” he assured.
you started walking towards the helicopter, but then you noticed something unusual.
“wait is someone already sitting inside?” you spotted a tall figure in there.
“hm looks like it.” Jay looked as surprised as you. “go in first” he gave you a helping hand and you stepped inside meeting the gaze with none other than Park Sunghoon.
“y/n hi” he waved visibly excited to see you.
“Sunghoon hi. what are you doing here?” you asked surprised but happy to see a familiar face.
Jay got inside the helicopter too and him and Sunghoon stared at each other in silence for the moment.
“i don’t think we met. i’m Jay” he spoke first.
“Sunghoon, nice to meet you.” he responded and looked at you question in his eyes.
“apparently there’s a second inferno. and we’re going there now” you started explaining.
“i was in paradise last night with a different girl but today they told me to pick up y/n from lobby and come back with her.” Jay added.
Sunghoon eyes widened.
“are you serious? that’s crazy!!”
“yeah i’m still shocked” you screamed as you already started going up and noise was making it hard to hear each other. “but where’s Soo-ah?”
“i think she left to our inferno. they told me that i’m not coming back with her and i should come down to the lobby.”
“ahh okay”
rest of the flight was spend in the silence. all three of you contemplating the new reality. it was only the second day and already so much was happening. you were sitting sandwiched between two super attractive males, and in the night you were making out with another one. it all felt crazy. too many thoughts were buzzing in your head, it felt like a helicopter was in your head too.
it felt like flight literally lasted only few seconds. you arrived at the island and it looked so different from the previous one. much smaller and less hilly. Jay continued being a gentleman and helped you get off the helicopter safely. now he was carrying your bag as all three of you were walking along the stony beach.
“wow it’s so pretty here” you awed looking around.
“it’s so cool. ours feels like a real inferno in comparison” Sunghoon agreed with you, also looking around with wide eyes.
“damn it must be really bad there. everyone is going to be so stunned when they see you. i bet they are not expecting it” Jay commented.
“i’m excited to meet everyone!” you felt curious about the remaining three contestants. you and Sunghoon were so lucky, you are going to know almost everyone now. only Jia staying a mystery. Jay offered you an arm as you were climbing up to the area where everyone was sitting. three figures were waiting for you at the long table. their heads turned in curiosity as you started getting closer.
“what’s going on?”
“oh my god”
you heard their voices as they realized that Jay came back without Jia but with two new people. you made it to the table and met their confused faces. it made you chuckle.
“Jay what is this?” asked a girl dressed in a float flowery dress.
“everyone meet Y/N and Sunghoon” he introduced you.
“i’m Yuri, nice to meet you” the flower girl responded first.
“hi, i’m Harin” said skinny girl with strong facial features, she was stunning. your first thought was that she must be a model.
“i’m soobin” the tall guy introduced himself. he seemed quite reserved but his half smile was adorable.
“they came from the second inferno” Jay dropped the bomb and proceeding to explain what’s going on.
they were all shocked and taken back. you told them the whole story while watching their surprised faces with amusement. it was so exciting. you noticed that Yuri was the most talkative and charming one out of the group while Harin and Soobin were hiding their emotions more and speaking less. Sunghoon also wasn’t talking a lot. you were wondering if he would prefer to be in your inferno instead of here.
after most of the questions were answered you decided it’s time for some rest before lunch. girls invited you to their room and you followed them. the place was small but cozy. three mattresses and little bed tables. girls said you can take Jia’s bed for now so you made yourself comfortable. you were glad you are finally able to rest a bit. this day was the crazy ride from the start.
“Y/N tell us all about the second inferno. it was three guys and three girls right?” Yuri immediately started the investigation sitting close to you. Harin kept her distance and sat by the opposite wall.
“yes, so you know me and sunghoon, i was in paradise with Heesung, he’s very playful and charming. Sunghoon went with Soo-ah, i would describe her as outgoing and loud” you tried to find words for a good synonym of annoying. but maybe you were just biased because Sunghoon seemed to like her. “and the third pair was Jake and Mina. Jake is very friendly, has like a golden retriever energy. and Mina is pretty much the same, super cool. i think they match really well.”
“wow, i really want to meet them now!” Yuri said with dreamy eyes. “but how was paradise? i was sad that i couldn’t go.”
“paradise was great, we had such a huge apartment with full windows. the view was insane. we ate a lot of good food and went swimming. it was a bit cold but nevertheless quite fun. so overall it was super cool. i hope you’ll be able to go soon!”
“how was Heesung?” now Harin asked the question.
“he’s so fun to be around, very flirty. i really had a good time with him” you tried to keep your answer short.
“but did he make your heart beat faster” Yuri continued questioning leaning in towards you.
“i guess” you responded hesitantly.
“ohhhh” the both giggled.
“and Sunghoon? do you think he likes the girl he went with?” Harin wondered.
“hm it’s hard to tell, but they seemed to click immediately in inferno” you responded.
“ah, he’s so in my type!” she confessed.
“it’s only day one, everything can change. but now you tell me about what’s up in this paradise!” you prompted them.
“Jia is the most beautiful person we’ve ever seen and she was so magnetic. the boys fell for her hard” Harin rolled her eyes at Yuris answer.
“yeah we didn’t have the chance.”
“ohh interesting, but Jay didn’t seem super enthusiastic when i asked.” you wondered out loud.
“‘maybe he wanted to keep it to himself or something” she shrugged.
“we were here all evening with Soobin but he’s very quiet, we didn’t talk much.” Yuri continued.
“maybe he needs some time to warm up” you made a guess.
“maybe, i hope he does. he’s quite cute.”
before lunch directors invited you to film an interview. they asked you multiple questions about paradise with Heesung, meeting Jay and arriving in second inferno. you were exhausted at the end of it trying to come up with the most honest but proper answers. after you were done you decided to stay at the beach where they were filming you and watch the sea. water was shining in the sunlight, like there was a million diamonds in it. soft waves were crashing against the rocks, pleasant sound of water filling your ears. you were trying to process all that was happening. even though only few hours passed you missed Heesung, you felt more secure when he was around. now it felt like you were left alone. you wondered what he was doing, was he as confused as you? or maybe everything was easy for him? you felt sharp stabbing in your chest when you thought about the possibility of him falling for Jia. she seemed amazing from girls stories. maybe she’ll make him forget you. you tried to push these thoughts away and focus on the present. you had the opportunity to get to know Sunghoon now. after all he was the one who caught your eye first. but he did seemed a bit reserved. you met his eyes few times as you were talking at the table but he always quickly broke the eye contact. and there was also the fact that Harin was interested in him too. you still wanted to talk with him though. but there was also Jay. he made a great first impression on you and was able to keep it. so good looking and such a gentleman, he was making your heart flatter. but again he was in paradise with Jia and you wondered if he liked it. maybe he didn’t want anyone disturbing him now. you were walking along the beach and over analyzing everything. you wish things were more simple for you but you were always the type of person who hyper fixated on things and analyzed too much. it is supposed to be fun. just do what you feel like at the moment. you reminded yourself.
you were about to head back to girls when you noticed someone walking towards you. you squinted your eyes to recognize the person. it was Jay.
“hey y/n! i brought an umbrella so you don’t get sunburnt” he said approaching you and opened an umbrella for you.
“thank you, i completely forgot about it” you laughed.
“what are you doing here all alone?”
“i think i just needed a little break. to be alone and breath, so much happened today, it’s crazy” you explained. you felt comfortable around Jay and you trusted him enough to be completely honest.
“ahh i see, understandable. so are you an I?”
“yeah hahah, i need my alone time to recharge.” you smiled. “and you? you look like an E.”
“good guess. but i still get you. sometimes i’m exhausted after socializing too much.”
“but the view of the sea calmed me down. it’s so pretty here. it almost doesn’t feel like an inferno” you admitted. you were already feeling a little bit better and conversation with Jay was helping as well.
“wait for the food and you will change your mind. and by the way lunch will be soon so i think we should head back to others.”
“oh right, let’s go.”
lunch was no where near the feast you had in paradise but it wasn’t bad - chicken and cucumbers. you peeled cucumbers with Yuri and Jay while others opened chicken cans and prepared water.
“i guess cucumber is better than carrot” Sunghoon laughed.
“ah i want to go to the paradise and eat all the delicious food” Yuri pouted.
“it’s so good trust me, i had steak yesterday and it was one of the best i’ve even tried” Jay shared.
“ah don’t talk about steak now, we’re miserable in here” Soobin nudged him playfully.
“the longer you spend in inferno the sweeter paradise will be” Harin said.
“i think i miss coffee the most” Yuri added.
“iced coffee would be so perfect now, it’s way too hot in here” you commented.
“yeah morning and evening is good but the middle of the day is like hell.”
suddenly an announcement interrupted your conversations.
“singles there will be couple matching today. it will start in an hour.”
you almost choked on your cucumber, Sunghoon patting your back to help you.
“thank you” you smiled at him.
“yah this is crazy! how are we supposed to chose someone!” Yuri exclaimed.
“we need to talk with others now so we can decide better” Harin proposed.
“yeah i think it would be good to talk more. we barely got any time” Jay agreed.
“Sunghoon can we talk first?” Harin made her move.
in a span of minutes everyone coupled up to have some quick conversation. at first you were left at the table with Soobin. you made some small talk, but you didn’t really feel the flow between you two. he was cute and handsome but not your type. you felt a bit awkward talking to him. next Jay approached you.
“Y/N let’s go for a walk” you agreed with a smile.
you felt more comfortable in his company and topics naturally came up during conversation.
“ahh it’s so amazing that you like to cook, i wouldn’t say i’m a master chef but really like it too. but i am not that much of a baker” you were babbling.
“i don’t have much occasions to bake but definitely want to try it too in the future. i was thinking about making cinnamon rolls.”
“i love cinnamon rolls!” you jumped in excitement.
“i’m getting all hungry from that conversation. i hope i’ll get to eat something delicious in paradise today.” you didn’t miss the allusion this time.
“me too. i want to order some sea food” you smiled at him.
“fingers crossed for good food today” he joked as you made your way back from the walk.
Sunghoon was waiting for you next to girls room.
“let’s get inside and hide from the sun” he invited you when you and Jay parted your ways.
“did you talk with everyone already?” you asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
“yeah and you?” Sunghoon plopped down next to you.
“i did too. so much is happening it’s hard to keep up.”
“it’s a bit overwhelming. but for me i immediately feel if i could like someone or not” Sunghoon confessed.
“hm so have you decided already?”
“not yet” he turned his head towards you keeping intense eye contact. his face was so unreal, he looked like a sculpted god. “did you enjoy paradise with Heesung?”
“it was fun” you kept your answer short. “and you with Soo-ah?”
“it was good, it made me realize something” oh he was being mysterious. you couldn’t figure him out. “did you talk with the girls?”
“yeah we had a whole gossip sesh” you laughed.
“hahaha i knew it! i told the boys that you probably know everything now. but don’t worry we chatted with the boys too.”
“so you know who likes who?” you raised your eyebrow studying his face.
“i might know some things. but i won’t tell. bro code is real.”
“i guess that’s good. it means you can keep a secret.”
“of course i can. don’t ever offend me like that” he nudged you playfully.
“sorry sir, my bad” you nudged him back.
loud knocking on the door interrupted your laugh.
“sunghoon, y/n time to chose. write the name of the person you want to go with on the ticket and throw it in the mailbox.” director explained to you handing you paper and pen.
you had five minutes to make a decision. you considered it for a bit but decided not to give it too much thought and went with your gut feeling. you wrote the name of the person and threw the ticket in the box. now you could only hope he had chosen you as well.

impress him
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: kindergarten teacher!sunoo x kindergarten teacher!y/n (she/her)
summary: Having a crush isn’t easy, especially when he has a naturally flirty personality. But luckily you have friend that has a great plan on how to impress your crush and get him to like you back.
words: 6.7k
story color: dark orange
warnings: mention of dead parents (very short and quick tho)
note: a little cute story for you :) I’m actually quite happy with how it turned out and I hope you like it too!!!!
masterlist of ‘enhypen as jobs’
Sunoo.
You can’t remember when or how you developed a crush on him. It all happened quickly, like a train passing by on a rainy day. With one blink of your eyes, one beat of your heart, one breath in your lungs, suddenly all you could think about was him. Night and day, first thing when you wake up in the morning and last thing when you fall asleep late at night. Your mind is filled with him, his smile, his laugh, his eyes, his mouth.
And watching him right now sitting at a table with two of your other colleagues, laughing and talking, drives a knife right through your heart, twists it and leaves you bleeding.
Sunoo has always had a flirty personality, compliments flying left and right when you spend time with him. It’s part of him to wink at everyone after saying yet another flirty comment, or placing his hand on peoples’ shoulders when he laughs. And you know he never means it serious. That’s just the way he is, the way he always has been. But it bothers you, because you don’t know what it means when he does those things with you. You don’t know if he sees you as just a friend, or more. You don’t even know if he could ever consider you as anything more than what you already are.
“Maybe you should stop staring at him because it’s slowly getting creepy.”, Jungwon, another one of your colleagues and your closest friends, says with a teasing grin on his face. He knows about your crush, because while you succeed in hiding it from Sunoo, everyone else in your life has guessed it after just spending a few hours with you. “I still don’t get why you don’t just go and confess to him.”
“Because…”, you answer, a sigh escaping your lips as you divert your gaze away from your crush and look at your friend instead. “The possibility of him rejecting me is pretty high. And we work together, every single day. I don’t want it to get awkward or make him feel uncomfortable.”
“Did you ever think about the possibility of him returning your feelings?” A laugh bubbles out of your throat after your friends’ question. Of course, you have. You have thought about Sunoo liking you back, but you quickly threw those thoughts away. Never has he shown any signs of feeling the same thing. He has always treated you the way he treats everyone else as well, there is nothing special there. And yet you still get your hopes up every single time he looks at you.
“Yeah, no. Jungwon I don’t think he likes me back.” Your friend blows out a breath before taking his phone out, typing furiously. “What are you doing?”
“I am searching for something.” A few seconds pass with your friends’ eyes skipping over his phone, typing every now and then before scrolling again. You wait patiently, stabbing at the food on your plate every now and then, eyes drifting to a certain someone more times than you want to admit. It’s hard not to look at him, to get engrossed with him. He is so captivating, his beauty lighting up the whole room. He has a presence that shines brighter than the sun. “There you go.”
Jungwon lays his phone down on the table, turning it around so you can see the things he has typed down in his notes. “How to impress your crush. Really, Jungwon? This is what you wrote down for the past few minutes?”
“This is a good plan, Y/n. You want Sunoo to like you, don’t you?” You nod your head carefully, eyes flickering to said boy just to see him already looking at you. He shows you one of his bright smiles, before looking at the people sitting at his table again. “Then just follow these steps and I promise you, by the end of the month Sunoo is going to be madly in love with you.”
1. Learn your crushes interests
Breathe in, breathe out, you repeat to yourself as you enter the kindergarten you work in. Just breathe and everything will be alright. But as soon as you see Sunoo sitting at a table with two children, your mind already begins to panic again. Seeing Sunoo with little kids has never been easy to you, melting at the gentle way he was playing with them. The children look up to him, idolize him, obsess over him. You get them, honestly, because you aren’t any different.
Jungwon and you spent the last two days gathering information on Sunoos interests, thinking of any possible way of engaging in those interests, figuring out how to approach him without being too obvious.
Upon seeing you, a bright smile appears on the boy’s face. Sunoo makes a move to stand up, to greet you, but the small child in front of him pulls him down again, complaining about not being done playing the game with him. You just show him an understanding smile, before putting your things down and starting to prepare breakfast for the kids.
“You need help with that?”, you hear a voice behind you, startling you out of your thoughts. You look up to see Sunoo standing beside you, gentle smile on his face.
“Oh, yeah, sure. You can cut the carrots if you want to.” He nods happily, grabbing a knife and doing your assignments immediately. Your gaze shifts to him every now and then, your head spinning with possible topics to start a conversation between the two of you. But every time you open your mouth to say something, your body stops you and you end up biting the words on your tongue.
“You look really tired today.”, Sunoo says, breaking the silence between the two of you. “I don’t mean that in a mean way, you still look beautiful, Y/n. I just want to ask if everything’s okay?”
Your cheeks turn into a faded shade of crimson, and you have to tell yourself to keep calm, before answering his question. “Yeah, uhm, I’m fine. I just stayed up the whole night watching a K-Drama and didn’t get much sleep.”
“A K-Drama?” A gasp escapes the boys’ lips, and his wide eyes look excitedly into yours. You smile at him, mimicking his excitement. “I love K-Dramas. I always watch them; I mean there is not a day going by where I am not watching one. What did you watch yesterday?”
“I finished watching 21st century girl.” Another gasp leaves Sunoos’ lips and you can’t help the chuckle that escapes you this time, enjoying his reactions.
“How did you like it? I cried my eyes out when I first watched it. I mean, I always cry whenever I watch it.”
“Yeah, I cried too. That’s another reason why I couldn’t sleep last night. I just kept on thinking about it and whenever I did the tears just streamed down my face. I couldn’t even stop it anymore.” Sunoo laughs slightly, nodding his head at your words.
“Yeah, I get what you mean. I’ve been there too. Do you watch a lot of K-Dramas or is it something you recently started doing?” A bright smile lights up your face. He is asking you questions about yourself. He is actually showing interest in you. Maybe Jungwons’ plan wasn’t so bad after all.
“Honestly, I just started getting into it. I’m currently trying to get through all the ones available on Netflix and I am honestly starting to get obsessed. Like what are they putting into those shows to make them so addicting?”
“Yeah, right? It’s like once you started watching K-Dramas, you can’t escape them anymore.” Sunoo turns his body to you after cutting the last carrot, hip leaning against the counter. “If you want to, I can make you a list with good ones to watch. I think I am an expert at this point, judging by the number of dramas I watched so far.”
“Oh, yeah that would be so nice of you, Sunoo.”, you tell him honestly. Your eyes meet his for a second, but you can’t face him for a long time. He stands so close to you, eyes not leaving your face for a second. It makes you flustered, lets you feel exposed under his burning gaze. That’s the effect he has on you. It’s easy for him to get you flustered, make you a stuttering self-conscious mess.
“I will get to it as soon as I’m home, I promise.”
-
There is a process between you and Sunoo, it’s small, but it’s there. Every break the two of you sit together, talking about one of the dramas he recommended, gossiping about characters and philosophizing about the deeper meanings, the hidden messages. You laugh, you smile, you grow. But it is still not enough, not enough to confess, and not enough to know if he feels the same about you.
But luckily you overheard a conversation Sunoo had with one of the other colleagues, talking about foods, snacks, desserts. So, it really wasn’t a surprise that you showed up the next day with his favorite ice cream in your back.
“Is that mint chocolate ice cream?” You smile at Sunoos question, seeing that your plan succeeded. You turn around to him, ice cream still in your hand, cocking your head at the boy in front of you.
“Yeah. Why? Do you also like it?”
“Like it? That doesn’t even come close. I love it.” He shows you a bright smile, eyes gleaming like those of a little child in a toy shop. “I didn’t think I would meet another person that likes mint chocolate. Every single one of my friends hates it. They make fun of me all the time for eating it.”
“Doesn’t sound like your friends have taste, because mint chocolate is an amazing flavor.” Sunoo nods in agreement, softly laughing at your statement. “I guess I found myself a new person to share this ice cream with. I can never finish this whole bowl by myself.” Taking out two spoons, you reach your arm out to offer him one of them. He happily takes it, sitting down right beside you, so close you almost forget how to breathe for a few seconds.
“I guess I found myself a new favorite colleague.”
2. Engage in more conversations
You curse under your breath as you read Jungwons’ message telling you the next step of your plan. Until now Sunoo started almost all the conversations with you. It isn’t like you don’t want to talk to him, there is nothing you want more, you just don’t know how. As soon as you stand in front of him, looking into his beautiful eyes, hearing his breathtaking voice, your brain stops working, your mouth loses the ability to form sentences and your breath only comes in rapid hiccups. It’s embarrassing, awkward, humiliating. That’s why you have been avoiding starting any conversation, but there is no way around it anymore. If you really want him to like you, to be intrigued by you, you have to make more first steps. This being the first one.
“Y/n, you came” Sunoo exclaims as he sees you enter the apartment of one of his friends. Two days ago, you found out that Sunoo and Jungwon have a shared friend named Jake, and that said friend just moved into town a few days prior. Jake decided to throw a little party for him and his friends, asking them to invite them their friends as well. Jungwon immediately sent you a text, informing you of the party and asking you to tag along with him. At first you were opposed, not being the type to go to parties or even socialize with anyone that wasn’t in your close friend group, but when Jungwon told you that Sunoo was also going to be there, you immediately agreed to come with him.
“Hey Sunoo.” You ignore Jungwons teasing chuckle behind you at the crack of your voice and show Sunoo a charming smile instead. “You look great.”
“Thank you, Y/n, that’s so nice of you.” Sunoos’ smile turns your stomach around, shakes it and drops it to the floor. Fogginess covers your brain, and you have to blink a few times to make sure you don’t drift back into the awkwardness you adapt as a habit whenever Sunoo speaks to you. “How about I show you around a bit? Jake is busy trying to figure out how to open a Champagne bottle, so we have some time before he will want to meet you.”
You nod at him, smiling brightly, and nervously taking his outstretched hand. You almost forgot Jungwon was still standing behind you, but quickly get reminded as he gives you a small nudge in Sunoos’ direction, making you stumble forward. Giving Jungwon a stern, but yet slightly appreciative look for bringing your back into reality, you follow Sunoo around the apartment. He shows you the bedroom, the bathroom, living room, kitchen and lastly the balcony. It’s where the two of you stop, taking in the view of the bright stars in the night sky.
“I used to always watch the stars with my mom.”, you start speaking, gathering all your nerves before continuing with your story. “My mom was obsessed with stars, their alignments, their meanings. She would tell me about all the constellations. When my dad passed away, she would always tell me that he is up there now, in the stars. That he is the brightest star in the night sky, watching over us every single hour of the day, even when we can’t see him. I would spend hours staring up at the stars, talking to the brightest one thinking it was my dad. I told him about my day, my thoughts, my worries and dreams.” Sunoo listens to you attentively, eyes never leaving your face while yours are focused at the million little lights shining in the sky.
“I really thought it was real, you know. I still think so. Every now and then I still talk to him, to his star, and I tell him about my life.” You smile to yourself, searching for the star in the sky and when you find it, you can’t help the sigh of relief escaping your lips. “I believe it because when my mom passed away a few years later, a star appeared right beside the one of my dad. I like to think that it’s them, watching over me. That even death couldn’t bring them apart.”
“Wow.”, Sunoo says, eyes not being able to leave your face. He can’t help the emotions he is feeling, sadness, grief, compassion, admiration. “Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with me. And I believe so too.” Sunoo scoots a bit closer to you, following your gaze up into the sky. “I think they are watching over you right now and I think that they are proud of the person you became, proud of every single thing you achieved so far.”
You smile softly, swallowing the tears that threaten to fall down on your cheeks. “Thank you, Sunoo. God, this means so much to me.” But before any of you can say anything a voice calls out to Sunoo, asking him to come in again.
“Guess Jake needs my help. Sorry we have to cut this short, but I really enjoyed spending more time with you, Y/n. I feel like I learn something new about you every single day.”
-
“No, Dylan. It’s not nice to take away someone else’s toy. How would you feel if someone took away your teddy bear?” The little boy in front of you sniffles a few times, wiping his eyes as small little tears roll down his cheek. This was the fourth time that he was taking away other kids toys and no matter how often you tell him to stop it, trying to get him to understand that it hurts the other children when he does that, he never seems to understand it. And while you know such behavior is a call for attention, it still frustrates you to tell him the same thing over and over again.
“You wouldn’t like that as well, right? That’s why you shouldn’t do it to the other children here as well. They want to play with the toys just as much as you do.” The little boy seems to only cry harder as your words, and you feel the patience running out of your system. Watching the whole encounter from further away, Sunoo sees you struggling. He sees that you need help.
“Dylan, come here.” The little boy waddles over to Sunoo, taking a seat on the older boys’ lap, looking at him with his big doe eyes. “You know what happens when you take someone’s toy away?” The little boy shakes his head. “It hurts the other person’s feelings. You take away something that brought them a lot of joy, and for a moment you take that joy away. That isn’t nice, is it?”
Sunoo gently wipes away his tears, showing him a soft encouraging smile. “Next time instead of stealing a toy from somehow, how about you ask them if you can have that toy? And if they say no, you can either wait until they are done playing with that toy, or you can ask them if they have another toy you can play with until they are done. How does that sound? Is that a good compromise?” Dylan nods his head, a small smile appearing on the boy’s face. “Thank you for listening and thank you for agreeing to the compromise. You can go back to playing now.”
You shake your head as you step closer to Sunoo. It never fails to impress you just how good Sunoo is with kids, always knowing the right things to say, always having a solution to every problem. “How are you so good with kids? Do you have younger siblings? A niece? A nephew?”
Sunoo chuckles at your words, shrugging his shoulders. “Nope, I have an older sister. That’s it.” He stands up again, dusting off his pants. “I guess I’ve just always been good with kids. I always wanted to work with them, and of course have some when I’m older.”
“You are going to be an amazing dad.” Those words slip out of your mouth before you can stop them, and as soon as they are out in the open, you drop your head in your hands with a groan, too embarrassed to look at the boy in front of you.
“Hey, no need to be embarrassed about your words.” Sunoo lays a comforting hand on your shoulder, not knowing that his touch is making it worse for you. “I really appreciate your words. You don’t know how much they mean to me.”
You just nod at him, head still buried in your hands, waiting for the blood that rushed into your cheeks to fade again. “Y/n.”, he calls out your name, lifting your head with his fingers, so you can’t do anything but to look at him. “I think that you are going to be an amazing mother as well.”
3. Make them laugh
Humor hasn’t been your greatest strength so far. You have always been too awkward to perform a joke with confidence, to make the whole room laugh or even slightly snicker at things you say. Jungwon swears you are one of the funniest people he has ever met, you think that he is biased and that it doesn’t count since he is your close friend and Sunoo is your crush. You could never joke with Sunoo the way you do with him.
Jungwon also told you to maybe search up a few jokes you think Sunoo would like and drop them at a random- fitting- time. You emphasized that it wouldn’t end well, that you would turn the situation awkward, the way you always do. But Jungwon just said to be confident, to trust in yourself and the process you made so far with Sunoo. Easier said than done, because while you stand beside him in the kitchen of the kindergarten, preparing their lunch, you find no right way to tell any of the jokes you spent hours trying to remember the whole night.
“You want to hear a joke?” Stupid. That was definitely the worst approach for this. Straight up asking him wasn’t what you had in mind, not at all. You wanted to be smooth about it, waiting for the right time. But as the right time never came, you got nervous. And the more nervous you get, the more likely you forget every piece of information in your head, including the jokes.
“Sure, why not? I always like a good joke.”
“I can’t promise you it’s good. All I can tell you is that they made me chuckle.” Sunoo turns his body to you, a sign you learned that shows you he is putting all his attention on you. You take a deep breath, wiping your sweaty hands on your pants. “How do you make an eggroll? You push it.”
Silence. Gruesome silence fills the space for a few seconds, and you know this was it. You just ripped apart the small chance you had with Sunoo, with one joke. Everything you worked on for the past weeks, you just tossed out of the window in not even ten seconds. You make yourself ready to dig a grave and bury yourself deep in it, never ever showing your face to anyone again. But before you can do that, a laugh tumbles out of the boy’s throat. An actual laugh, and it grows the more time passes. All you can do is watch him with wide eyes and mouth hung open.
Sunoo holds his stomach, wiping his eyes as he still laughs at your joke. “That was the worst joke I’ve ever heard.” He still lets out a few giggles, tipping his head back. Sunoo takes a few breaths, trying to calm himself down before facing you again. “Please tell me you have more of those jokes.”
You nod at him, still not processing the scene in front of you. But when you realize Sunoo is watching you with expecting eyes, you snap yourself out of your haze, telling him another joke you learned. “What do lawyers wear to court? Lawsuits.” And yet again the boy in front of you breaks out into another fit of laughter, but this time you join in, slightly chuckling at your own joke.
-
It has become a thing between the two of you. Whenever Sunoo needed to hear a joke, he would ask you to tell him one and proceed to laugh at it just the way he did the first time. Your confidence grew the more jokes you told, getting bolder and bolder with them. And Sunoo seems to love it, since he searches for you more often the past few days.
“I had the worst day.”, he says after the last parent left the kindergarten with their child. “First of all, I overslept today, and came way too late as you probably noticed. Then, as a punishment I got assigned to clean pretty much everything, but guess what, three children decided to throw up today and I had to clean it up. And to top that, I just got into an argument with a parent, because apparently their child isn’t getting educated probably in this kindergarten? Like excuse me, we are a kindergarten not a school. Your children aren’t here to learn math or geometry, they are here to play, make friends and prepare themselves for school.”
Sunoo drops his head on your shoulder. He has also been getting bolder when it comes to initiating physical touch with you. He is a very touchy person, you’ve seen it with his other friends, but noticing that he is adapting those same habits with you only shows you the progress you have been making. “I really, really need to hear one of your jokes right now.”
You smile at him, softly patting his head, but putting your hand down quickly after again. You have to hold yourself back from not engaging in those small touches, not wanting to overwhelm him or overstep any of his boundaries. “Okay, let me think about one.” Sunoo lifts his head again, looking at you with waiting eyes. “Why didn’t Han Solo enjoy his steak dinner? It was Chewie.”
And this moment right there, this short, sweet moment, is your favorite part. The moment when you can hear the soft sound of Sunoos’ laughter, the sweet melody filling your ears, warming you with the soft touch of joy. You can’t get enough of his laughter, wanting to hear it every single second of the day.
“How can you get better with every joke you are telling?”, he speaks between laughter, shaking his head in disbelief. “Oh, Y/n, you really do make my days so much better.”
4. Make subtle hints
After all those weeks, engaging into more conversations with Sunoo, getting to know him more and making him laugh countless times, you feel a lot more confident about the next step than you thought you would. Making hints, showing him, you are interested in him, doesn’t seem so frightening anymore. It suddenly seems so easy, as if you have been doing it all along already.
“I told you that you can do it.”, Jungwon exclaims, a bit too loudly, catching the looks of a few people around you in the small café the two of you decided to meet up. “I told you the list was going to work.”
“Hold your horses.”, you say, shaking your head at the boy in front of you. “Yes, we did grow closer, but nothing happened as well. I still don’t know if Sunoo likes me, or if he just thinks we are friends. I can’t be sure until he has told me.”
“You can be so stupid sometimes.” You frown at the words of your friend, not knowing what he means with that statement. “Come on, everyone can see from miles away how Sunoo is pinning over you. It’s extremely obvious.”
“You are reaching with that, Jungwon.” You can’t help but roll your eyes at him. Normally you appreciate Jungwon for feeding into your delusions, supporting your wishes, and routing for you and Sunoo, but with the real progress you made lately, this isn’t something you want to hear anymore. You want the truth, the honest truth. You don’t want the mindless support anymore; you want him to keep it real with you. “If he likes me back, I would have noticed that by now. And I haven’t. He isn’t even showing me any signs. Sunoo is treating me like he is treating his close friends.”
“You are so blind.” Ignoring that last comment, you take a bite of your cake, sighing at the familiar taste. “I still wish you luck with this step, Y/n. Let’s pray and hope you won’t embarrass yourself too much and ruin the chance you have with him.”
-
Sunoo smiles at you as he watches you enter the room again after leaving to put a band aid on a girl’s finger. It’s a Friday afternoon, twenty minutes before the parents are going to pick up their children. And you think it’s the perfect time to shoot your shot, to make the first move subtly hinting your crush to Sunoo.
“What are your plans for this fine Friday afternoon?”, you ask Sunoo as you both start packing your bags, ready to head home. “I planned on spending the night on the couch, watch one of the dramas you recommended to me earlier and enjoy a nice bowl of mint chocolate ice cream. And I thought that maybe you would like to join me?” Your heart is racing faster than a car on the highway, ringing loudly through your ears.
“That sounds like an amazing plan to spend the night.”, Sunoo says and for a moment you think he will take up on your offer, but when you see the sad smile on his face, you brace yourself for rejection. “I would love nothing more than to join you tonight, but I promised Jake I would hang out with him tonight. Him and his girlfriend broke up recently and he really needs some distraction.”
“Oh.”, you say, nodding your head at him. “Yeah, no, I totally understand that. I hope Jake feels better soon. You are a great friend for being there for him in such a time.”
Sunoo sighs at your words, ruffling his hair softly. “How about we do that next weekend? I am free then.”
“Next weekend? Yeah, of course. We can do that.” Hope fills your veins again, spreading through your whole body. And you forget the disappointment that lingered inside you just a moment ago.
“Great. Then that’s a date.”
-
Sitting beside Sunoo on your couch, in your apartment, in front of your tv, is definitely something that will take you a while to get used to. It’s so foreign seeing him in sweatpants, his hair falling softly onto his forehead and his face rid of any makeup. You swallow the lump in your throat and force your gaze away from him and back to the drama on the tv.
“God, they are so cute.”, Sunoo says after a while, watching the couple in the drama hold hands for the first time, shy and flustered. “This is the kind of love I want; you know? It’s so sweet and innocent. It’s so pure.”
You smile at his words, nodding your head softly, agreeing with his statement. “Yeah, me too. I love how soft dramas portray love. It’s so different from American dramas.”
“Yeah, I agree.” Sunoos’ eyes are trained to the tv, immersed into every single detail, not wanting to miss even a second. “This is the kind of love I want to give as well. I know I’m capable of this, but I just have to find the right person.”
“I think you would be an amazing boyfriend.”, you tell him, honestly. “The person who will call you their boyfriend in the future will be the luckiest person on this planet to have scored someone so kind and compassionate as you. Everyone deserves a Sunoo in their lives.” This is probably the boldest thing you said to him. And you are not sure where it came from, how you got the confidence to say what you said. But Sunoo seems to appreciate your words, showing you the softest, sweetest, smile he has ever given you. And you swear, you even see a faint hint of blush on his cheeks.
5. Be yourself
Be yourself.
Be yourself.
Be yourself.
You keep on repeating to yourself. This has to be the hardest step yet. You don’t know how to be yourself. You don’t even know how you are if you are being honest with yourself.
You don’t know how you want to live, how to find your flaws and your strengths, how to build up a security in yourself. How can you be yourself when you don’t even know yourself? Does Sunoo know who you are? You have been getting closer, opened up to each other, shared secrets in the whisper of the night, wishes as the gloomy sun filled up the sky with its light. But does he know you? Does he know what you are, who you are, where you are?
How can he know it when you don’t?
It’s been bothering you, day and night, robbing you from your sleep and stealing your appetite. You can’t stop thinking, obsessing. But no matter how much time you invest into thinking, you never seem to be getting an answer.
But spending so much time thinking also meant you started distancing yourself. Especially from Sunoo. You don’t know how you can engage in the last step, to ask him out, if you don’t know the simple answer to who you are. You think that Sunoo deserves a securer version of you, the person who knows what she wants, knows where her strengths lie. He doesn’t deserve the insecure, overthinking version of yourself that you are right now. So, you thought it would be for the best if you just distanced yourself from him, at least until you figured everything out.
But Sunoo doesn’t like that at all. He started worrying about you, but every time he tried asking you, you dodged him. And while he wants to give you your space, he can’t stop himself from worrying even more. Has he done something wrong? Did he say anything, do anything, that hurt you, that made you distance yourself from him?
He can’t take it anymore. He can’t keep watching you from a distance, hoping you would just tell him what’s wrong. He needs answers, and he needs them now. So, when the last parent leaves, Sunoo grabs your arm and pulls you into the break room.
“I know you probably need your space right now and the last thing you want is to talk to me, but I can’t take this anymore. Can you please just tell me what I did wrong for you to completely pull away from me? Did I hurt you?”
“Oh, God, Sunoo. No, you didn’t.” You shake your head hastily. When you started taking some space from Sunoo, all you thought about was getting a clear mind space first, getting answers before confessing to him. But you never thought of how Sunoo might feel. It didn’t cross your mind once that he could think it is his fault, that he would care so much. “Please don’t worry. This has nothing to do with you. I’m just not in the right mind, and I have a lot to think about.”
“Well, but it feels like it has to do with me, because you are normal with everyone else. You talk to all the colleagues the way you normally do, but it is me that you act different with.” You sigh as you hear his words, not ready for this conversation. This is the last thing you wanted to do today, not prepared for what is about to come. You didn’t think of the right words, the heartfelt message, the longing feelings.
“I can’t talk about this right now, Sunoo. If you just give me a bit more time, a few more days, then we can talk about all this.” But Sunoo isn’t listening to you, he just shakes his head, a long sigh slipping past the boy’s lips.
“But I can’t wait a few more days, Y/n. It’s already been days. I want to know now. It’s keeping me up at night, it’s driving me crazy. It hurts my heart just thinking about the possibility that I might have hurt you, drove you away. Please, just tell me. Whatever it is, I swear we can fix this. You have become such an important person in my life, I don’t want to lose you. I can’t lose you, Y/n.”
“I like you.” The words tumble out of your mouth before you can stop them. “I like you, Sunoo. I have for a while now. And I was trying to think of a way to confess to you, a way to find myself, to give you the best version of myself.”
“That’s it?”, Sunoo chuckles, shoulders lifting, and face overcome with amusement. “That’s why you have been avoiding me?” You nod your head carefully, scared of his next words. “I knew, Y/n. I’ve known it for a while now.”
“You knew?”, you ask him, eyes bulging out of your head.
“Yeah, I mean you haven’t been subtle about it. Especially lately. Don’t think I didn’t notice you picking up my interests, talking more to me and flirting with me.” You look to the floor, embarrassment evident on your face. This is it, your end, your misery. This is the part where you will get the rejection of your life. This is the part where you have to quit your job, because you will never be able to face Sunoo ever again in your life. You wait for it. You wait for the bomb to drop on you, to rip open your heart, to put a knife in it and twist it until it bleeds out. But it never comes. The bomb never explodes, and the knife never enters your heart. “I mean why else do you think I have been flirting back, engaging in all your little tries?”
“What?” Is all that leaves your mouth.
“Yeah, I like you back, Y/n. I have for the longest time. And I was so happy when you showed interest in me. I was always too shy to make a move on you, scared you would reject me. But when you started staring at me more, and when I noticed how you completely changed how you approach me, I knew that you like me back. That’s why I have been so bold as well. I thought that if I touch you more, or invite you to more hangouts, you will get the hints, but apparently that didn’t work out as planned.”
“You like me back?”
Sunoo laughs at your words, nodding his head and gently taking one of your hands in his, giving it a soft squeeze. “Yes, I like you back.” You just stare at him, not believing the words leaving his mouth. You followed this whole plan, for weeks, just to find out that Sunoo liked you all along. It’s almost funny, and you almost laugh at how absurd this all his. But you don’t because you remember that you still haven’t really said anything to him. “Aren’t you going to ask me out?”
“Yes, sorry, yes. I’m sorry, I’m still processing your words.” Taking a few breaths, you can’t fight the smile on your lips as you look at your intertwined hands. “Sunoo, would you like to go on an official date with me?”
“It would be my pleasure.”
Bonus
“I still can’t believe the two of you actually ended up with each other. I still remember Sunoo going on and on about his crush on Y/n.”, Jake says, making you all laugh softly at his words.
“I always knew.”, Jungwon turns in, making you look at him with confusion in your eyes. “I saw the way they looked at each other when the other one wasn’t watching, and I just knew they liked each other. And I overheard Sunoo talking to Jake about his crush on Y/n.”
“Wait, what?”, you exclaim, voice raising in more confusion. “You knew this the whole time? You knew Sunoo liked me and you didn’t tell me? You knew he liked me, and you still let me follow that stupid five step plan that YOU made for me?”
“Yep.”, Jungwon proudly says, showing you one of his wide grins.
“But why?”
“Wouldn’t it have been too easy if I just told you? I wanted to see you try, see you get out of your comfort zone. And I also wanted to have my own fun and believe me when I say I thoroughly enjoyed watching you get frustrated over every single little thing you said to Sunoo.” You gape at your friend, not believing the absurdity of this situation. But before you can complain to him, voice your anger at your friend’s disappointment in your suffering, he speaks up again. “But it worked, didn’t it? It took you longer, but it still worked out in the end.”
And you can’t disagree with him. Because it did work out. And you know it every single time you look at the boy who’s holding you in his arms. You know it from one single look that it worked out, that it was meant to be. And he knows it too, feels to, sees it every day.
It’s the kind of love he always wanted, the kind of love he dreamt of having, the kind of love he sees in all the dramas he watches. And now he has it. Now he has finally found his one person, the one person he always talked about.
He has found his soulmate, his love, his forever. Just like in the dramas. Only that it is so much better.

Jake recently revealed his birth time to be 10 PM (more or less) so I want to look into his Natal Chart a little bit!
Tumblr media
Leo Rising - Leo Risings are known for being expressive, flamboyant, and are known to be naturally engaging in their way of communicating and presenting themselves which draws people towards them naturally, which we know is a trait that Jake has based on his immediate and unpredictable skyrocket to fame and his consistently growing fan base after being coined as the groups "golden retriever". Appearance wise, Jake has a ruddy skin complexion, with a red undertone which is why lighter hair colors such as blonde, look so natural on him, similar to that of a Lion, which is ruled by Leo. We know that Leo Risings are known for their hair, but their foreheads are also prominent as well, with a good amount of Leo Risings having broad, rectangular shaped foreheads and smaller lower face shapes as we can see with Jake's appearance. It's no wonder he prefers hairstyles that show his forehead more!
Jupiter in the 1st House - To me, this makes a lot of sense! We know that Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and with it sitting in the First House, it makes sense why Jake has such a bright personality. With it being at a fame degree as well, it makes sense why Jake became so popular in such a short amount of time, even before joining the group. His Jupiter is also Sextile his Midheaven which is also at 17 Degrees of Leo.
Chart Ruler Leo Sun in 4th House - Jake likely has a very strong connection to his home or where he came from, and he takes pride in it as well. Where your chart ruler sits represents where the energy of the ascendant is the most prominent, for Jake, this is his home and his childhood. He likely spent a lot of time around his parents growing up, especially his mother, however his relationships with his father may be a little tense with his Sun Squaring his Jupiter and Uranus. It's also very unsurprising to me that Jake has the natural ruler of the 5th house in his 4th house. His musical talent started during his childhood and was likely encouraged by his parents.
Scorpio Mercury in the 4th House - I had a hunch that Jake's chart ruler was one of his Scorpio placements, but I thought it would be his Mercury. Now I see why. Jake's Chart Ruler is conjunct his Mercury which is why his communication style and his way of thinking is one of the most obvious to me. He has a very introspective way of speaking and thinking which is reflected in his morals and values regarding himself. He also may be very close to his family as well as his childhood friends.
Vertex in 5th Sextile Jupiter in Leo - Jake was literally meant to be famous. Not only is the astrological point of fate sitting in his 5th house of fame but it's aspecting his Jupiter, the planet of expansion in Leo at 17 Degrees.
Gemini in 11th House - It's so cute how nearly every member of Enhypen has named Jake as the person to go to when you need advice or when you need to be cheered up. With Gemini sitting in his 11th House that makes sense because the 11th House rules how we navigate our friendships and with his being in Gemini, he values intellectual connection and communication and makes an effort to do so with people he considers to be friends

thinking about your dad niki works and having the rest of enhypen over to help with like the nursery or something and niki’s just being bossy and saying things like ‘wtf why would you put that there’ and ‘I only want what’s best for my babies’
AAAH RIGHT?!!!!! he would be so sassy when he finds out something isn’t where either he or you asked it to be put.
“jay hyung, i asked you to put the crib against that wall, not that one. the sun gets too bright in the mornings and it’s going to wake them up.” niki huffed out, walking over to the crib and pushing it against the floor carefully with a grunt. jay simply clicked his tongue, walking past you and out the door.
“it’s okay riki, i’m planning on buying curtains anyways” you said quietly, cradling your baby in your arms with a quiet coo. niki spun around at the sound of your voice, clearly relaxing his tensed up shoulders. “ i just want everything to be perfect for my little princess” he said, tickling her stomach gently with a coo when she wrapped her tiny hand around one of his fingers.

You are still looking at Sunoo’s eyes when both of your heads snapped over to the side when one of your classmates screamed. You saw how his face are now filled with bloods that came from the infected reaching over him through the window.
Your brows raised in worry, but soon eases down when you saw that your classmates came to help him right away. Heeseung told them to stack some tables and chairs to block them from grabbing or pushing in more. You all obliged and do as he say with no words. Sunoo was near you all along, never leaving your side.
Honestly, you’re really thankful for him. This is beyond your expectation. While you are placing the chairs, your eyes caught a cut by one of his hands. You furrowed your brows and quickly reached over him.
“Y-You have a cut.” you stated and glanced at him. Sunoo’s amused at the first time seeing your worried eyes darted at him.
He gulped and felt emotions errupting over his chest. He couldn’t explain the things you are slowly making him feel. He licked his lower lip and can’t even find the words he’s about to say. It was like his brain just short circuited.
“It was cut with the w-window...” his words trailed slower as your hand graced his soft ones. He gulped, mind clouded by the thought of your sudden affection.
“Oh no. We need to clean it.” you said very worried and started roaming your eyes around the room to look for the first aid kit.
Sunoo was about to stop you and assure you that he was fine, but it was too late. You already left and went to get the first aid. He stood there, right where you left him. His eyes followed you silently.
“Found it.” your smile was so bright the moment you took a hold of that small box. You walked back to Sunoo and he can’t help but to smile at you, eyes gazing softly.
“Let me see.” you reached over his arm and leaned closer to see the cut by his hand. It was bleeding and you bet its a bit deep.
You winced a little like as if it was you who will suffer the pain. Sunoo chuckled, “How is it?” he asked.
You glanced at him, “A bit deep. I need to clean this then put some ointment.”
He didn’t even glanced at his cut and kept his stares right at you. He nodded with a small smile before you finally started cleaning his cut to put the ointment in. Through out the whole session, he was just silently watching you carefully cleaning his wound. He have this small smile, admiring you.
“There, finish.” you uttered and even smiled proudly when you saw how you finally put an ointment and something to cover his cut.
Sunoo smiled and finally took glance of what you did, “Wow. Thank you, I feel so much better.” he said sincerely.
You glanced at him and you can’t help but to blush at the sight of him smiling warmly. You stared at him and he did the same thing, none of you talked and just enjoyed that small moment.
“You lost it?! How could you!” both of you turned your heads when you heard someone raising their voice.
The first one you saw was (nk’s y/n) lowering her head and in front of her was (sh’s y/n). She seemed very mad. Sunghoon took action right away and walked closer to stop her. Someone walked pass by you, and you saw that it was Sunoo because he quickly went closer to (nk’s y/n).
You watch how he stood in front of her, protecting her from (sh’s y/n)’s rage. You blinked a couple of times while watching the scene carefully. Something with the way Sunoo acted right away and the way he held (nk’s y/n) makes you feel something bitter.
You knew they were close. Ni-ki and Sunoo are good friends and since they hang out a lot of times, its not surprising that (nk’s y/n) gets to go with them because of Ni-ki. The two of them are always together, anyway. Sunoo and (nk’s y/n) closeness are pretty noticeable by a lot of people that some rumors about them liking each other circulated the whole campus.
For you, it was somehow justifiable. From the way the two of them acts and how Sunoo watches her with smiles over his face just explains a lot of things. You teared your eyes away from the scene and gulped. You tried breathing, filling some oxygen to your lungs. In some reasons, you kind of felt something unexplainable.
You almost hit yourself unconsciously. Not just because Sunoo showed you little kindness, you’ll start to assume things about it. Maybe because the treatment was foreign for you that’s why you can’t help but to put other meaning to it. You forgot that Sunoo was naturally kind. At least now, you are aware.
You looked back at them when you heard (nk’s y/n)’s cries. Your heart aches with her because she just knew Ni-ki was not here with you. Unconsciously, you roamed your eyes around and realized that he is really not here. You are too occupied with Sunoo that failed to notice it.
If it was the old you, you probably the first one to know that he was not here. You watch how Sunoo comforts (nk’s y/n). Like her, he looked so worried and sad after knowing that his friend was not here.
Slowly you started looking around, to observe your surroundings. Heeseung was at the corner, face blank and spacing out. Even with the commotions going on, he seemed to be mentally absent. At the far other corner was Sunghoon together with the still angry (sh’s y/n). He was still saying something to her, but you’re too far to even hear.
Some of your classmates are slowly minding their own businesses. You, too, decided to walk towards an empty chair and sat over it. Things are clearly getting worst and out of hand. Hopefully help will come sooner.
You snapped back to reality when a chair moved beside you and when you glance, Sunoo made (nk’s y/n) sit down beside you. He glanced at you and you were quick to look away.
You pursed your lips and looked at her worriedly. She’s still crying and you completely understand. Or do you?
Your fist balled. It finally dawned unto you that you don’t fully understand what she feels, because to start with you never lost anyone yet. All your life, you were all alone. You have no one beside you.
Yes you might have imagined how would it be having somebody, but that’s it. It was all in your head.
“Hey,” you snapped back to reality when you heard Sunoo’s soft voice as he kneeled in front of (nk’s y/n) so he can see her eyes.
You watch silently. “It will be all right. Ni-ki’s very athletic and he’s smart! I’m sure he’s somewhere safe.” he tried comforting her and reached over her cheeks to wipe off those tears.
You looked away and gulped, feeling that lump between your throat. That's not something you should feel, but you cannot help it. Your whole emotions are a mess right now and they’re the least of your concern in situations like this.
After letting out a sigh, you slowly and carefully reached over (nk’s y/n)’s shoulder, “Sunoo’s right.” you tried saying those two words that almost made you tremble. That was the very first time you tried comforting somebody.
You didn’t even know if you did well, but you saw from your peripheral view that Sunoo glanced at you. When (nk’s y/n) turned and looked at you with her tearful eyes, you almost thought you messed that up. The thought was interrupted when she suddenly hugged you, crying even more.
“I’m scared, Y/n! I don’t want to lose him too.” her voice cracked due to crying, but that’s not what left you in shock.
The fact that she knows your name is what surprised you the most. You blinked a couple of times before you slowly leaned in and gave in to her embrace. It was warm, despite the cold emotions enveloping the two of you. You caress her back then continued muttering comforting words.
Your heart ache with her, but also pounding with so much emotions because of the things you are currently experiencing. All of these are new for you, and none of it is what you’re expecting.
When she managed to calm down, you both are still sat beside each other. None talked after that, and you respect that she doesn’t want to talk about it. You just remained their beside her. Sunoo was with the other boys, roaming the room and checking for something useful.
The silence were broken when one of your classmates suddenly talked.
“Y-Yah (friend’s name)... y-you’re bitten.” they were referring to (jw’s y/n)’s best-friend. You saw her standing near her, tears started to form her eyes.
Your eyes watered as well just by watching a heart breaking scene. Her nose was bleeding, but she still managed to show bright smiles to cheer for you guys. You pursed your lips, trying hard to stop yourself from crying and shedding tears. How come you feel so much pain just by seeing her say her goodbyes? You aren’t even close with her.
You are still watching when you felt (nk’s y/n) hugging you. You can hear her soft sniffles, “J-Just how many more are we going to lose?” she mumbled, only for you to hear.
She was right. It was very cruel. You are just normal students, trying to survive school and then suddenly you’re fighting to survive this outbreak. This isn’t something you are expecting to happen. This things are just seen in movies, you didn’t actually thought this could occur in real life.
The whole room fell silent and the loss were very evident. Jungwon was beside (jw’s y/n) comforting her. She was obviously affected by the loss of someone important for her.
You jolted when you heard another glass being shattered. Those infected that were just outside are not stopping until they can get inside the lab. They’re starting to breakthrough and seriously, its worrying you.
“Its just a matter of time before they managed to get inside.” Sunoo said, while staring seriously at that side of the room.
You glanced at him before you looked back at the awful scene. “You’re right.”
Seems like the other boys noticed that as well, because Sunoo was called by Jungwon to talked about something. The boys started discussing something serious.
“Why, hyung?” Sunoo asked the moment he walked closer to his friends.
“We need to find another place. This one is not safe anymore. Soon, they will break their way in.”Jay said getting straight to the point. There's no time for them to spare.
Just like how Sunoo thought a while ago. It sure is starting to get alarming. Jungwon agreed right away as he nod his head. Then they silently started to think of a way to escape this room. Clearly, they’re in a very complicated spot.
They can’t go outside the doors since its packed and surely even before they can make it out, the whole room will be filled with the infected and they will be a feast for all of them.
All of them thought the same and almost lost hope. It was almost like a dead end for all of them.
“Is there no other way out?”
“None. It's just these two doors and the window.” Sunghoon answered and instantly, all of them looked at the big windows.
Sunoo saw how his friend was staring right at them like as if plotting something inside his head.
“We can try going outside of the window.” Jungwon said after a couple of minutes. Even before Sunoo can react to what the younger one said, he started following him as he walked towards the hose that according to him will serve as their ‘ladders’ to go at the room beneath them.
“Will this be strong enough to hold us?” Jay asked curious and even pulled the hose up to check the length of it.
Sunoo roamed his eyes over his friends as they discuss this seriously. Seems like he’s the only one finding this very odd and extreme. As he watch them silently, he came to realize that there’s no such things as extreme or risky at moments like this. What happening was already something unexplainable so taking big risks should be the preferable choice than get eaten by the infected.
Sunoo planned and helped them came along with things needed for what they’ll do. They searched the whole place, trying to find more things.
On the other hand, your brows furrowed while watching the boys busy themselves. Even if you’re wondering and curious, you can’t make yourself go approach Sunoo and asked him what’s going on.
Thankfully, to feed your curiosity, he came close to you so he can check you and (nk’s y/n).
“What’s going on?” she beats you to asking the question.
Sunoo’s eyes are darted to you so he glanced at her to answer her question, “The room is not safe anymore. We’re moving to a different one.”
Your heart raced at what he said. While you hear (nk’s y/n) complains and rants about it, you silently looked at the side of the room where the infected were. It wasn’t looking too good for you. Obviously, they will surely break in. That would be really dangerous.
“Hey,” you jolted when you felt a hand held you.
You twist your head and looked at Sunoo. “Sorry...” he apologized, but his worried expression remained.
“Are you okay?” he asked. You licked your lips, cheeks burning red because you feel a bit embarrassed for being so jumpy.
“Yeah, sorry.”
He kept his stares for a bit more before he nodded his head. “We’ll be moving rooms.”
“Where are we going? I mean... I’m not seeing any exit.” you stated with a very worried tone.
Sunoo sighed and then pointed at the window. Just in time, you saw how the other boys are throwing the hose outside. Your heart fell just by thinking about going through the window.
“N-No, that’s too dangerous.”
Sunoo licked his lips as he saw panic lured at your eyes. He understands, like you, he was a little hesitant at first as well. It was pretty high and the rope you’ll be using was  sketchy.
“It will be all right. You can do it.” he comforts you and held both of your shoulders.
Your eyes teared away from the window and looked over at Sunoo. He leaned down so he can see your eyes perfectly, “I’ll be just here. I’ll look out for you.” his voice sounded too soft for your stomach not to churn.
You gulped and licked your lower lip once, not breaking the eye contact.
“I h-have fear of heights.”
Both of his brows raised, finally understanding the panic in your eyes the moment he mentioned that you’ll get out through the windows. He sighed and stood properly before pulling you towards the closest chair and made you sit.
He sat down and cupped your face then leaned closer. You hitched your breath because of his action, “Just don’t look down and you’ll be good. Okay?”
You sighed and slowly found yourself lost in his comforting beautiful fox-like eyes, they were softly gazing at you. You nodded and a smile appears over his lips.
“That’s my girl. I know you can do it.”
Tumblr media
You were spacing out while waiting for your turn to go down the audio-visual room. The first one to go was Sunghoon, to check if its really safe to move there. After a couple of minutes, he shouted that it is safe and that your homeroom teacher is even there.
You are happy to hear about it, but the fact that you still have to go through the window terrifies you. Yes, Sunoo did managed to calm you down, but you can't just make your fear go away that easily. You are still very worried and scared.
A hand held your arm and as you turn to look at the person, it was (nk’s y/n). She smiled at you, “I heard from Sunoo that you’re afraid of heights?”
You nodded and pursed your lips. She nodded once, “I can go first before you so you can see that its totally safe, okay?”
Your stares remain at her and you can’t help but to feel that unfamiliar warmth. Is this how it feels to have people caring for you? It surely feels very heart warming. You cannot explain the joy and other emotions its giving you. All you know is that its something you truly love to feel.
You smiled, eyes becoming slightly teary. “T-Thank you.” you mumbled, shy.
She chuckled and lightly taps you.
“That’s what friends do!” she exclaimed that caught you off-guard.
‘Friend?’ She’s your friend now? You have a friend now?
Even before you can say something, she was called by one of your classmates because its already her turn to go down the rope. She glanced at them and nodded before looking back at you.
“Let’s go, y/n! I’ll wait for you there.” she then smiled and started walking towards them.
You followed shortly and Sunoo stood beside you after he helped her get up to the table. You watch how Jay instructs her carefully, like telling her the things she needs to do. She listens attentively and you silently utter a prayer that she’ll make it down safely.
“(nk’s y/n) very adventurous. That’s only a piece of cake for her.” your head turns at your side and saw how Sunoo was staring down at you, despite talking about (nk’s y/n).
It seems like he was watching you for a while now so you felt a little shy. You don’t know how you look, worrying for her.
“R-Really?”
He nodded, “Ni-ki and her grew up together and both of them are truly fearless.”
You slowly smiled along with him before you glanced back at her who’s now getting ready to go down. Her eyes caught yours and she waved with a smile, “See you there!” she said and you nodded.
When she slowly went down your mind started to go blank as well. “She said we’re friends. I have a friend now.”
Sunoo’s stares remain darted at you. Hearing that from you made him feel things. He felt bad because you really don’t deserve to feel like you have no one. He also feel slightly angry to himself for not noticing you in his class right away. He should’ve not focus on his small circle and tried even more to socialize.
People around him may think that he’s someone very friendly and that he’s the social butterfly, but the truth is he’s someone who likes to keep his circle small. Despite being nice to everyone around him, he doesn’t let them in his circle easily. For Sunoo, he wants those who he trusts the most to be the ones around him everytime. And he really thinks you’ll be one of them from now on.
He sighed and gulped before pushing his doubt beside. He’s afraid to make bold moves, afraid that it’ll scare you off. But he really thinks you deserve a hug.
Carefully, he held your arm and pulled you closer to him. He caged you with a tight warm embrace.
“You won’t be alone from now on.”
You smiled and nuzzle over his chest. After a couple of seconds, you pulled out of the hug and smiled at each other. Soon, you are the one who will go down next.
Sunoo accompanied you and helped you get up to the table. He’s looking at you when you glanced at him. He nodded and gave you an encouraging smile.
“Don’t look down and breath.” he reminds you before Jay took over to assist you.
“Take your time, y/n. Carefully use your other leg to look for the next loop. Sunghoon will be by the other window waiting for you.” he said and you nodded before finally going down.
The moment the cold wind blew towards you, you lost it. Heart raced in uncomfortable phase. It was like you are starting to have difficult time in breathing. You closed your eyes and grunt. You tried taking continuous breathings.
“You’re doing great! Try to reach for the other loop, y/n.”  that was Jay.
You don’t know for how long you are staying there, but you are already shedding tears. The feeling of being out the window and just having a rope to support you was extremely terrifying you.
“You got this y/n.” your eyes snapped open when you heard Sunoo’s voice cheering for you.
You raised your head and saw him beside Jay, smiling. “Slowly, okay? Don’t look down!”
You bit your lower lip and nodded before slowly lowering your other leg to reach for the next loop.
“Slowly...”  you mumbled.
“That’s it! You got it, y/n!” it was now Sunghoon who’s below you, seeing you finally managed to find the next loop.
You sighed out and after that, the next loops are now easier to find. It still very scary, but experiencing that once made you familiar of the feeling and slowly get yourself used to it.
As you arrived to the last loop, you heard some of them cheering from above and Sunghoon’s arm wrapped over your waist to assist you inside.
“You did great.” he smiled and helped you get down.
You were greeted by a warm hug by (nk’s y/n). “Y/n! You did great!” she compliments you and you can’t help but to smile, despite the tears over your face.
“I was so s-scared.”
She pulls off from the hug, “You’re here now and you did a very good job.”
You thanked her and soon, your homeroom teacher greeted you by a hug as well. She mumbles how she’s very glad to see you fine. Your heart felt warm, having them around you right now. Even if you’re in a very dangerous situation, you feel much better knowing that you aren’t alone.
One by one, your classmates made it to the audio-visual room. When Sunoo arrived, he quickly greeted you with a hug and a smile.
“You did so well.” he didn’t forgot to compliment you.
“You too.”
Both of you pulled off from the hug when you all heard that Jungwon’s in trouble. One of the zombies managed to hold over one of his leg.
“Wait, is that Ni-ki?” you snapped your head over to (nk’s y/n) when you heard Sunghoon said that.
She furrowed her brows and walked closer the window, “Ni-ki?” she asked hopeful.
“Kick it, hyung!” just by hearing that voice, you are certain it is really Ni-ki.
The happiness over (nk’s y/n)’s face when she heard that was unexplainable. She bit her lower lip and held your arm, anticipating for when they will manage to get inside.
“What do you think am I doing?!” Jungwon shouted back, seems like they’re really having a hard time shaking off that one infected student.
“I will jump to you hyung!”
All of your eyes grew big when you heard what he just said. Panicking, some of their friends went near the window. Jay even climbed over, just in case they needed some help.
“Jump? He lost his mind.” Sunoo mumbled and shake his head before approaching too to check if they can do something about it.
But even before they can make an alternative solution, Ni-ki already took the risk of jumping over his Jungwon hyung making everyone scream.
You saw how Sunoo rolled his eyes and let out a sigh before walking back close to you. Your worried eyes remained.
“Are they okay?”
He nodded, “Yes. Don’t worry.”
Soon enough, you really did saw the two of them going inside. (nk’s y/n) rushed her way towards her best friend and cage her in a tight embrace. She was crying hard that made Ni-ki’s playful smirk dissipate.
After that, some of your classmates found a computer. They all went to crowd it while you and (nk’s y/n) decided to sit down at the corner.
“I really thought I would lose him... I was so scared.” she suddenly said and as you finally follow her line of sight, she was looking at Ni-ki.
You pursed your lips. “I’m glad he’s okay too.”
She smiled and glanced at you. “Do you think I should confess to him?”
Your eyes grew big at what she said. You didn’t really expect her to have feelings for Ni-ki since they pretty much are bickering every time and you definitely didn’t expect her to tell that to you so suddenly.
She chuckled, “Is it really not that obvious? Maybe why he have no clue, huh?”
You cleared your throat. “I w-was just surprised.”
“How about you, y/n? Do you like someone?”
She once again caught you off-guard by the sudden attack of question.
“M-Me?” it was a little embarrassing how you’re stuttering just by talking about these things. When you try to remember the people that you watch while talking about the people they like, they don’t get as shy as you are right now.
Maybe because its your first time?
“Yes, you. Do you like someone?” she repeats her question and glanced at you. She was waiting patiently and honestly, its making you really nervous.
“Promise, it will be just between the two of us.” she added.
You gulped and dropped your gazes at your fidgeting fingers. “Sunoo.” you mumbled too softly that she failed to catch it the first time.
“Who?” and she even leaned closer so she can hear it properly.
You sighed and shut your eyes. “Kim Sunoo.”
You didn’t open your eyes just yet and when you fail to hear any reaction from her, you opened your eyes and saw that she have the biggest and brightest teasing smile.
“That’s crazy because I actually think he likes you back!”
Your eyes grew big and cheeks suddenly turned bright red because of what you heard. You shake your head.
“N-No. Impossible. He’s just nice to everyone—”
“Trust me he does! I mean it. Kim Sunoo do—”
“I what?”
Both of you snapped your heads towards the right when suddenly someone talked. Your heart fell when you saw Sunoo looking at the two of you with a confuse and curious face. Seems like he heard his name. Your face turned red as you quickly felt nervous by thinking he just heard what you two was just talking about.
Behind Sunoo follows Ni-ki with a serious face. Feeling intimidated by his gaze you looked away while (nk’s y/n) chuckles cutely.
“Nothing!” she said and when you look at her. Ni-ki was already standing beside her holding her hand, trying to get her attention.
You felt a warm hand reaching over yours and heart thumping fast just by the contact with his skin.
“What is it?” you gulped before slowly trailing your eyes towards Sunoo.
He got this anticipating look on his face.
You bit your lower lip and found yourself drawn over his stares. He didn’t looked away and just enjoyed your moment. So did you. Even with your heart thumping so fast, cold sweats forming over your skin, and mind going blank, you managed to keep your eyes darted at the pretty boy in front of you.
“N-Nothing.” you stuttered.
The corner of his lips lifted before he looked away, finding you adorable. His gaze dropped at his fingers playing with yours. He smiled and sighed.
“Nothing, hmm?” he doesn’t know what to say, because he was starting to get occupied by the thought of you and also the look on your eyes just a while ago. They were alluring... making him feeling a lot of things.
You two eventually changed the topic and talked about some other things. It was just random topics and you enjoyed it. You always wonders how people can stand talking for a long time without running out of things to talk to. But after actually experiencing it, you realized it is possible to talk nonstop. Especially if its with someone you really like.
Your heads snapped over to the side when one of your classmates yelped. You stood in surprise as the boys quickly went to rescue. An infected managed to get himself tangled by the hose you used and tried to grab your classmate. Thankfully, it was soon resolved but it cost the computer.
You thought its finally over, but (sh’s y/n) once again made a commotion saying that Sunghoon got scratched by the infected a while ago. Sunoo furrowed his brows while standing beside you, silently watching.
“You shut up! And if he transforms suddenly you can save all of us?” (sh’s y/n) said, trying to stand her point that he really did got scratched.
Ni-ki and Sunoo sighed heavily, unamused. Clearly, they’re slowly getting tired of the scenes she was consecutively making. You also think it was unnecessary, but at some point you also think that maybe she’s just really scared. Fear can do a lot of things to people.
“Okay! That’s enough!”
Finally, your home room teacher stepped in between and tried to resolve the problem. You can see how offended and upset Sunghoon looked. Jay was standing beside him, mumbling calming words to keep him from taking any more steps towards (sh’s y/n).
“I think she really pushed hyung’s button now.” Sunoo commented and sighed.
You pouted and didn’t say anything. They often fight even before, but this so far is the most extreme one. You never seen Sunghoon looked upset whenever they argue before.
They came up with the solution of letting Sunghoon stay inside the recording room for an hour. Some suggested that thirty minutes will be enough, but he insisted.
While waiting for an hour, you all tried to get some rest. Sunoo stood up and you followed him using your eyes. He went towards where some of your classmates are crowding. Holding one cup over his hand, he tried getting some water.
“Here,”
“Thank you.” and you took a sip from the water he got for you.
You are slowly getting comfortable with the things he’s doing for you. He is truly nice.
“Aren’t you thirsty?” you tried offering your water and he smiled right away.
“I already had water before I gave you, don’t worry.”
You smiled and nodded.
“I don’t want to offend you, but can I just ask something?” he suddenly opens up. You looked at him with raised eyebrows
“Yeah?”
“Are you new to this school?” he asked, he looked nervous for some reason. “I don’t think I see you a lot around the campus so I thought that maybe you’re a transferee?”
You put the cup down and chuckled a little. “We’ve been classmates for three years now.”
His eyes grew big as his mouth gapped open. It made you let out more chuckles. His reaction was really priceless. He looked so surprised, like as if he doesn’t want to believe it himself.
“A-Are you serious?”
You nodded continuously, “Yes.”
He raised one of his hand and covered his mouth, “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
You smiled, “You don’t have to feel sorry. It was always like that.”
He pursed his lips, unable to find the right words to say. He just kept his stares at your eyes, enjoying the moment. Looking at them, you can’t see any pity over them. More like he looked regretful. You’re not sure about what, but he looks like it.
Your head dropped when you felt his warm hands enveloping yours. He carefully lifted your hand and started to caress it slowly. As you lift you head, you met his soft stares.
“I wish I knew you sooner.”
You smiled, “Really? I’m a very boring person.” and you followed it with a chuckle to ease the awkwardness.
“You’re not.” he smiled, “Trust me, you’re not.”
You smiled and nodded. Sunoo scootted closer and made you rest your head over his shoulder as you continue your conversation. Even before you know it, (sh’s y/n) was already getting inside the recording room to say sorry to Sunghoon.
Everyone silently watched.
“You know we used to tease hyung because he’s always too obvious about his feelings for her.” Sunoo said.
With a surprised look, you glanced at him. “Sunghoon likes her?”
Sunoo laughs, “Yeah. Funny, right?”
You chuckled and nodded your head before looking back at the two. After hearing what Sunoo said, seeing him hugging her tightly right now just made sense. That’s why he was always there whenever she was in trouble.
Your homeroom teacher soon said that everyone should get some rest because its been a really long and tiring day. After she said that, you suddenly felt your whole body aching. The exhaustion finally got into you. With all the running and things you did a while ago, its not much a surprise to have every part of you aching.
“Wear this. It’s cold.” you looked at Sunoo’s coat that he took off for you to wear.
“What about you?”
“I’m good. Just take it.”
You nodded and accepted his coat before you silently watch him walk towards by the door. Since its really not safe to just leave the doors unattended, the boys agreed to take turns in guarding them. You salute them. They’re really not responsible to do all of these, but still they choose to look after you. In your opinion, you wouldn’t have got here without them.
While watching Sunoo chat with his friend, your eyes suddenly started to feel more heavy. You’re trying to fight it, but soon enough tiredness took over and you fell asleep.
On the other hand, after almost two hours of guarding the door, Sunoo got replaced with Jay so he tapped his shoulder and headed your way.
A small smile appeared across his face seeing you sleeping peacefully. Carefully, he sat beside you and gently placed your head at his shoulder for a more comfortable position.
“I’ll protect you.”  he whispered.
Tumblr media
The next day, some of your classmates came up with an idea to go down the faculty room to get a phone to call for help. It happen to be the room down where you guys are currently are.
Your licked your lips, kind of nervous for what they’re thinking of. It’s very dangerous and knowing that it could be full of infected people just makes it even worst.
“Are you sure about this?” your home-room teacher asked, a bit hesitant to let her students go.
“Yes. We need to at least try.” Jungwon said.
You pursed your lips and your teacher was left with no choice, but to let them. They asked who will go with Jungwon and you saw the fear over (nk’s y/n)’s face when she saw her bestfriend raising his hand.
“No, why would you do that?” she whispers towards him.
You watch silently as Ni-ki tries to console her. Sunoo held your arm, “Hey,”
You glanced and pouted, “I feel bad letting you boys do the risky stuff.”
He shakes his head and smiled.
“We’re doing these because we want to protect all of you.” he said, assuring you.
You didn’t say anything else after that and Sunoo was called by Jay. Since they’ll be left here, Jungwon asked them to keep things secure while they’re out to get a phone.
You are silent as you help them gather magazines to wrap towards the two boys. (nk’s y/n) was beside you, very quiet. Only her soft sniffs can be heard.
You reached for her hand and squeezed it a bit, trying to let her know that you’re there for her and that everything’s going to be fine. She smiled, despite the tears over her eyes.
You helped her put magazines over Ni-ki. Both of them are silent, like as if there’s a heavy atmosphere lingering around them. Ni-ki was just watching her carefully while (nk’s y/n) continues to wrap him up.
“I’m going to get some tape.” she said and exits herself as she wipes off the tears on her eyes.
You sighed and resumes on what you are doing.
“y/n, right?” your eyes lifted over to Ni-ki when he said that.
You gave him a short nod.
“Please look after (nk’s y/n) while I’m gone. I heard from her that you two had been pretty close lately.”
You didn’t expect to hear those things. Still a bit caught off-guard, you tried flashing a small smile at him.
“D-Don’t worry. I will.”
He smiled a little. “Thanks.”
After finishing setting them, they both left the audio-visual room through the window. Everyone watches silently, praying that they will be back safe.
You held (nk’s y/n)’s hand. “He will be back.”
She glanced and flashed a small smile. “He better be.”
You have no idea for how long have you been waiting, but the next thing you knew Ni-ki was back alone. He said that a lot of infected were inside the faculty. Something happened that lead Jungwon to go the other way, leaving him to go through the window alone.
You saw the fear, sadness, regrets over Jungwon’s friend’s faces. You walked over Sunoo and held his arm. His head twist towards your direction and your heart almost crack at how sad he looked.
“I s-should’ve volunteered.”
You shut your eyes and slowly pulled him into a hug, “I’m sure he’s alright.” you mumbled too softly just for him to calm down.
The absence of Jungwon sure gave a lot of impact. Everyone was quiet and for almost an hour, nobody talks or dared to open up what just happened.
Not until one of your classmates remembered about the drone they got from the science lab. Hope errupts as they one of them tried to maneuver it outside the room, off to search for Yang Jungwon.
You all watch in silence as some gave directions to where the drone should fly. At first, all you can see are flocks of infected students scattered around the whole building. Some vacant rooms and a whole other mess. You can almost see the disappointment over their faces, but Sunghoon suddenly saw something.
“Isn’t that the baseball bat you gave Jungwon?” he asked and quickly caught everyone’s attention.
The cheers were so loud the moment Jungwon was seen at the screen of your classmate’s phone. Sunoo cheered as he hugs you beside him. You smiled widely and jumped in joy with him. You are so glad he’s okay and even find Jake.
Soon, another plan was made. The next objection was to move to where Jungwon and Jake are then from there, you guys will move to the rooftop. They figured that if help will come, the easiest way that they can pick you up is from there.
“Aren’t they drawn by noise?” Jay asked.
Everybody nodded their heads before he suddenly looked over the recording room.
“Why don’t we use the speaker to lure them in and while they’re busy doing that, we can just run towards the music room.” he said.
Your mouth gapped at how smart he is for actually coming up with such an idea. As expected, all of you agrees and then you started gearing up for the move.
“Are you all set up?” you glanced at Sunoo who came up behind you.
You smiled and nodded your head. “Yes. How about you?” and you roamed your eyes from his head to toe.
“Yeah.”
You nodded and glanced at his eyes.
“Stay near me, okay?”
Letting out a chuckle, you reached over his uniform to slightly fix his collar. “I will. Look out for yourself too. I can handle myself.”
“I will protect you.”
You chuckled and nodded, “I know, but you have to protect yourself too.”
“Alright.”
He held your hand as you all head outside the audiovisual room after successfully luring them over the other side. It was very thrilling and you can almost feel your heart bursting. Sunoo’s hand was holding you tight as he walk in front of you.
It was going well until you made it to the next stairs up to the floor where Jungwon was. One of your classmates bumped into the metal railing a loud sound to errupt, catching the attention of a lot of biters.
When you all glanced at the side, you couldn’t explain the fear you felt the moment you saw how they slowly turn their heads over at your direction one by one.
“Run!”  Jay shouted that snapped you back to your senses.
Screaming and panicking, all of you tried running up stairs. Sunoo quickly pulled you and made you go first.
“Both of you go first!” he said and Ni-ki even placed (nk’s y/n) near you as he ready himself to fight the infected running after you.
You nodded and started going upstairs. You screamed and fell over the floor when someone pushed you. Jungwon and Jake went out to come help you.
You grunt and tried getting up, but your feet was stuck at a chair. It needs to be lifted up for you to pull your feet. You tried moving it but it was too heavy for you. Something heavy was preventing the chair to move.
“y/n!” (nk’s y/n) exclaimed and quickly went to help you. She tried lifting the heavy thing, but it didn’t even move.
“Go ahead (nk’s y/n)!”
“No! I won’t leave you here!”
You are starting to shed tears because of fear. Fear of getting her in trouble too. She yelled as she tried to lift it once again. Like you, she’s starting to cry too.
You are about to tell her to leave, but someone pulled her. “Go first. We’ll take care of her.” Ni-ki suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
You turned your head when you felt a hand holding your arm, “Are you okay?” Sunoo’s worried eyes were the first one to greet you. He cupped your face.
“I’m f-fine. I just got stuck.”
Sunoo nodded and looked over Ni-ki. “I can try to lift this hyung. Then you can pull y/n’s feet out.” Ni-ki suggested.
They nodded and even counted. Jay was about to walk pass with (j’s y/n), but noticed the three of you so he helped as well. In no time, they got you out.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt?” he quickly asked. You shake your head and he quickly placed you behind him.
Suddenly, a storm of new infected students came separating you from the others.
“Shit.” he cursed when he noticed that you’re trapped.
A lot of them are blocking you from getting in the music room.
“Hyung!” Jungwon was by the other side fighting off those who keeps on coming their way.
"Go inside, Jungwon! We'll be just fine here." Jay shouted. “Go!” he added that left the younger one with no choice but to go.
You felt Sunoo’s hold over your hand tightened.
“Sunoo try the rooftop!” Jay shouted and he agreed right away.
He started pulling you and you helped him move the chairs that were blocking the way. These should be moved because later, they will follow you guys.
Sunoo was the first one to get inside to check if there are some infected students. As expected, it was vacant. He let you in first and asked you to wait as he tries to go help the others.
“Please be careful!”
You are worriedly eyeing the door of the rooftop, waiting for Sunoo. You jolted from time to time when you hear thudding sounds from outside.
“S-Sunoo?” you calls out, but there was no response.
You took a step towards the door and contemplating whether to open it or just wait.
You screamed when it suddenly opened, revealing Sunoo. He have a lot of new fresh blood over his uniform. There was no one else behind him.
“They went the other way. I c-couldn’t—” you didn’t even let him finish and you quickly run towards him to give him a hug.
“I thought I lost you!”
He was taken aback for a while before he slowly bury his face at the crook of your neck, “I’m here...” he said in a comforting voice as he tries to calm you down because you are crying.
“Shh, I’m here now baby.” and he placed a soft short kiss at the side of your head.

“Are you cold?” he asks. You slowly shakes your head, but he still moved closer and fixed his coat over you.
“When do you think are they going to arrive?” you ask.
“Sooner. We need to prepare for them.” he said.
You nodded. The two of you then moved the chairs out from the way of the rooftop for your classmate to have more room when they arrive. While fixing the chairs, you suddenly stopped after hearing this loud noise coming from downstairs.
“Is that..?” you looked over Sunoo who was stoned at his position as well.
“They’ll be here soon. Wait at the corner, baby.” he said and went near the door to wait. He will open it for them.
You did as you told and worriedly watch him. Soon enough, you heard them coming and the first one to enter was (nk’s y/n).
She quickly run towards you when she saw you and caged you in embrace. “Y/n!”
“(nk’s y/n)!”
You two are busy hugging each other when suddenly, Jungwon and Sunghoon arrived as well. Just then, you all realized that (sh’s y/n) was not there and (random name) was the one who did it.
You bit your lower lip, feeling bad about what happened.
“I can’t believe she really did that.” (nk’s y/n) said in a sad tone.
Ni-ki and Sunoo went and tried to stop Sunghoon from going after her, but it was too late.
“If something happen to Sunghoon hyung too, its your fault.” Ni-ki said towards (random name) as he walks pass her.
You saw horror and guilt on her face with tears shedding.
You sighed and looked over Sunoo to give him a hug. He returned it and placed a soft kiss at your head. “Do you think help will come?”
“They will.” he assured you.
You nodded and smiled. After an hour, you all stood up as you heard a helicopter from a distance. Everyone cheered as you all waved your hands, happy to see them. Finally, you’ll be saved now.
Someone held your hand and it was Sunoo. You smiled, tears already forming at the side of your eyes.
“Thank you for taking care of me.” you said, leaning closer so he can hear you.
He smiled, “I will always take care of you from now on.”

Tumblr media
Heeseung as Paris
“Im so in love with you that I might stop breathing.”
His love is just so pure and precious.
He is the type to send love letters where he just pours his soul and genuine feelings.
His love language is definitely gift giving and words of affirmation.
“I want to brainwash you, into loving me forever.”
He radiates “love songs” energy.
It doesn’t matter where you are, if you’re with him you’ll have the best time.
Jay as Maroon
“The lips I used to call home.”
A bit angsty, but it makes sense in my head.
Talking to him all night till you see the sun rise in the morning.
He’s just someone you can’t forget about that easily.
“How the blood rushed into my cheeks.”
I feel like in some arguments, Jay has to stay away for some time to think about the situation, and try to come up with a solution.
He is very receptive and likes to listen, think and then act.
Jake as Glitch
“We were supposed to be just friends.”
He definitely is the type to flirt a lot, mainly when the friendship is turning into something more.
You can’t just forget about him, you see him once, and you need to see him twice.
He has his charm that makes you don’t want to stop looking at him.
“I thought we had no chance. And that’s romance.”
Outgoing and confident while talking to the person he has his eye on.
Lots of flattering and compliments!!
Sunghoon as Midnight Rain
“And I never think of him. Except in midnights like this.”
This song is so him, not much in a “love” related way, but because he radiates both sunshine and midnight rain energy.
He could be very serious at times but when you get to know him, he’s a ray of sunshine.
His smile brights up the whole place, and his laugh is contagious.
“All the love we unravel, and the life I gave away.”
When he’s serious he looks a little intimidating, but he’s just like that.
Sometimes he misses ice skating, and remembers it so dearly when he dances. Remembering how he moved with the ice skates so skillfully.
