— HEESEUNG LEE
heeseung loves kissing your neck because he knows it gets you hot and bothered, he loves the sudden shocked squeak you let out when he random kisses your neck, he came behind you, gracing his cold lips on your neck “AH what’s wrong with you seung” you turned towards him, your hand on the place he kissed “my lips are cold, i ate ice cream” he said pulling you back “so?”
“so i gotta warm them up” he said as he bit ur neck lightly, kissing it, his breath leaving tingling feels down your spine, something about neck kisses just makes you feel light headed “i know you love it princess” he whispered, his hands roaming around your body as he blabbers like a loser.
— JAY PARK
jay loves kissing your lips, though it very common but for him it is special, he love the feeling of his lips against yours, especially after you put on lipgloss or lipstick “jayyyy i just put it on, look it’s all smeared and on your lips too” you said frustrated as you try to fix your lipstick, “it’s a nice colour i like it on you” he said snaking his hands again around your waist as he turns you around “doesn’t give you an excuse to ruin it, and we have to go or else we will be late to the party” you said resisting his touch as he leaned over again.
“doesn’t matter” he said as his lips moved against yours, his hands around you waist, him teasing your lips by lightly nipping on it, your hands in his hair tousling it.
“we got stuck in the traffic sorry” he said to his friend as you shot him glares, did i forget to tell you that he loves kissing you when you are mad at him? works like a charm, all the anger goes poof.
— JAKE SIM
jake loves to nom on your cheeks , he says it’s like bread. he loves to peck your cheeks at any given moment, or just have his face smooshed by yours, if he could he could live under your skin. jake likes to bite your cheeks while pecking them despite being warned a hundred times to not, but how can you resist his puppy eyes.
sometimes he get this kissing aggression towards you where he just keep on kissing and giggling as you try to escape him “jake too much” you say as he kissed you all over your face, “not enough” he said as he continues smooching your cheeks, biting them “nom, you taste like strawberries” jake hugs you as he calms down, cuddling you.
— SUNGHOON PARK
he loves collarbone kisses, loves to randomly feather kisses around your collarbone while cuddling, exact reason that despite being so tall he like you be a small spoon most of the times, likes to be a princess “hoon it tickles” you said as he pressed kisses, he loves when you wear off shoulder as he gives him easy excess but if not then he just pulls the piece of clothing you are wearing to expose your collarbone, now that has gotten him in trouble when he accidentally rip your clothing’s neckline but that obviously never stopped him.
“i will get you more mmm” he said as he kept kissing you, he loves to inhale the soft and mild scent of your perfume.
— SUNOO KIM
loves to kiss your forehead, to appreciate even the smallest of things you do for him, while that’s very sweet of him and you love it with all your heart, there are times when he likes to annoy you by kissing you after applying your lip tint so now you have kiss mark on your forehead, or kissing it and then telling how small you are.
towers over you sometimes so you look up at him and he can kiss your forehead.
“i got nice scores this time” you told sunoo as he smiles and kisses you forehead “im proud of you love”
— JUNGWON YANG
he likes to kiss your nose, just a little boop to make you laugh, you talking about your day? oh he is so in love, boop, you are cooking? he is drawn in by your beauty, boop, you are just laying around? you look so cute, he can’t believe you are his, boop.
“why do you like kissing my nose so much” he looks at you as he smiles, eyes closing like a cat as he kisses your nose “because you are cute” it’s a way he expresses his love, it’s his way of saying he treasures you and a simple expression of his limitless love for you
— RIKI NISHIMURA
he loves to bury his face in your neck after a long day and kiss your shoulders, just like sunghoon he loves when you wear off shoulder dress or else he just pulls on them, but lucky for him you wear his oversized hoodies all the time so it’s easy to gain excess, sometimes it’s hard to express who he feels, or how much he loves you so he just kisses your shoulder and hope you understand his attempt to say ‘i love you’s’.
“what’s wrong baby” you asked as you played with hair as he buried his face in the crook of your neck “just tired” he said nuzzling “aww poor baby” you said as you kissed his head “you better not tell how act with you” he warned you still kissing your shoulders.
“like a baby? AHH-” your giggles turned into sudden shock as he bites you “oh that left a mark” you smacked him with a pillow as he laughed and dodged it “not tired anymore huh?” you said pouting moving away from him just to get pulled back to his lap “i am” he pecked you “meanie” he snicked at your pouty lips before kissing it.

Orange Porch Light: aka Coral Island Fanfiction by a Rafael Simp
Section 2.
Again this is just from my google keep notes because I get bored at work. Grammer will be questionable and I’ve probably forgotten some quotation marks. This was the first note I actually wrote for this Fic. Still slowburn and minimal drama because I like cute shit.
CW: some reference to anxiety.
Penelope goes to blacksmith because she needs the hoe sharpened (according to her).
She enters and is greeted by a waft of heat she wasn't prepared for her. After a long day of work the heat is welcoming to her aching body. The floor looked really comfortable....
She entered and could hear light clanging and no one was standing at the front counter.
Penelope glanced tiredly towards the source of the noise and could see Rafael hammering away. He was very sweaty and his rusty shirt clung to his thick back muscles. She leaned against her hoe and let out an audible sigh at the view.
Rafael heard someone and turned around stopping what he was doing
"Oh Penelope!" He smiled wiping some sweat from his brow, "Sorry I didn't hear you."
Penelope blushed because she knew damn well that it was her admiring sigh that caught his attention.
He walked towards her removing his gloves and clasped his one arm, "uh How can I help you?"
Penelope mustered some strength to hand him the hoe, she looked more tired than usual.
"I need this sharpened or something", Penelope yawned.
Rafael took the hoe, gave her a side glance to make sure she was doing okay and proceeded to inspect the tool. It was in ROUGH shape... He really wanted to rebuild this for Penelope and maybe she wouldn't be so exhausted. He could do a minor upgrade. He kept his face soft so Penelope would hopefully not notice that the tool was almost beyond repair.
He smiled again, "yeah I can get this in better shape."
Penelope yawned again turning away to hide her contorted face.
"This will take me maybe a half hour, there's coffee in the kitchen if you want to help yourself. Uhm maybe take break?" He pointed in the direction of the kitchen.
Penelope rubbed her face, smearing some dirt across her cheeks, and nodded. Rafael could feel himself blush, she was just too cute. He cleared his throat and walked away stiffly while Penelope staggered into the kitchen.
She poured herself a cup of coffee sat at the table, lowered her head, and fell into a DEEP sleep.
Pablo came down the stairs looking cleaned up,
"Hey Raf I'm out, see ya later."
Rafael waved the hammer without looking to Pablo. He made himself focus on doing a good job getting this tool in better shape. He got lost in the work he didn't even notice how much time had passed. It had been just over an hour since he started, it was time to close shop. After Raf locked the door he figured he should let Penelope know he was just about done.
He entered the living room and kept walking to the kitchen. Penelope had her face smooshed against her arms and was out like a light. Rafael felt his heart do a somersault, she had such a squishable and kissable face.
He sighed and gently shook her shoulder, "Penelope?"
She didn't move. He tried again. Penelope could not be stirred. Rafael decided maybe it was best to let her sleep. He grabbed a blanket from the couch and rested it over her shoulders. He decided to improve the hoe a little bit more.
She was still asleep when he finished. Raf sat down across from her and bounced his leg trying to think of what to do with her. She's NOT waking up. Does he put her on the couch? Does he know her well enough to even pick her up? He looked around for ideas to maybe wake her up before resigning himself to let her stay the night.
Rafael tried one more time to gently shake her but nothing and he would not wake her more aggressively, that's just rude. So he went about his Friday evening routine. After he cleaned up he started to cook dinner, he decided he'd make enough for Penelope too. He grabbed himself a beer and sat across from her while the food finished cooking. She was still not moving. He got up to check her pulse. Okay, still alive. She's going to be so sore sleeping like this. He really didn't want to wake her up rudely but all the gentle tactics weren't working. Hell, she slept through him working.
When the meal was done cooking, Rafael plated up some for him and then set a plate near Penelope. He set the plates down rather aggressively and yet she still didn't stir. Rafael took a quick look around the kitchen to see if there was anything else he could try. He saw some onions. Maybe the smell might wake her? He placed some onion right near her nose all while feeling like a jerk but she really needed to wake up.
She finally stirred. Rafael took the onion away quickly.
"Oh geez! Oh crap!" She came to her senses.
Penelope stood abruptly, "I didn't mean to fall asleep! Oh my god I'm so sorry."
Like a dumbass, her foot caught the chair as she tried to bolt and fell. Thankfully for her, Rafael caught her in a classic romance trope style.
"Uh it, it's okay. Really." He stammered helping her to her feet.
Both their faces flushed and Raf let her go, "Uhm, I made extra food. You really should eat something."
Penelope looked back at the table and saw the plate of food and she rubbed her eyes.
"Oh my god it's dinner time??"
Rafael smirked, "uh yeah. I made extra food in case you were hungry."
She was hungry, Penelope thought and she maybe had some breakfast today but she wasn't sure. She agreed to stay and eat. A little dazed, Penelope sat back down and ate some of the food. It was basic bachelor food but delicious nonetheless. She was still so tired though and ate just enough to feel her stomach chill out.
"Thanks Rafael," Penelope sighed leaning back into the chair looking like she was going to fall asleep again.
He had watched her eat because she looked like she was gonna face plant into the food at any given moment. Thankfully she didn't.
"Uh, Penelope? can I walk you home?" He could feel himself tense from being so forward (for him).
"Oh uh you don't have to...."
"I want to make sure you get home okay", he blurted then cleared his throat, "don't want you falling asleep in a bush somewhere."
Penelope giggled nervously, "yeah... okay then."
Their eyes met but they looked away because they're both painfully shy.
Rafael carried the hoe and they walked together under the night sky. The silence was nice but hella awkward.
Raf cleared his throat, "so Uhm. I reshaped the head a little", gesturing with the hoe, "it should be more efficient for you..... Uh It'll be better for packed dirt."
Penelope lit up and took the hoe, "oh thanks!"
Raf looked away and rubbed his neck, "yeah. Uhm, it should be balanced a bit better for your height too. It looked like it was built for someone taller."
Penelope took a swing at a nearby dirt patch and it was way more comfortable, "oooooooh!!!"
Raf stopped and tensed as she kept hacking at some dirt, he just wanted her to go to bed!
"This is so much better!" She beamed.
He smiled tiredly and grabbed his arm, "I'm glad, but uh, please get a full night's sleep before you get back to farming."
Penelope grinned sheepishly stoked on her hoe (loool).
They kept walking but now the silence was comfortable. As they were crossing the second bridge Penelope stopped. The sight of that plot of land still gave her intense anxiety. Raf took a few steps but stopped and looked at her. She gripped the hoe and stared down at her feet. He could barely see her silhouette in the dark.
"Rafael?"
He turned fully to her and tilted his head, "yeah?"
She didn't want to cry but 'her farm' was a disaster and she didn't like looking at it.
"I think I'm in over my head", her silhouette started to look smaller.
"What?" He stepped towards her.
"I'm in way over my head", Penelope said her voice shaking, "I don't think I'm made for this."
"For what?" He took another step towards Penelope.
"Farming, ranching, living on my own. I was so ready for all of this I didn't realize it was going to be this hard."
Rafael could feel his heart practicing acrobatics again, she sounded sad? Oh no! What could he do to make it better?!
Penelope walked to edge of the bridge and let her head rest against the railing with a thump. She still gripped the hoe. He couldn't think of anything to say. Obviously Raf didn't know much about farming and couldn't offer advice. He stood next to her and rested his forearms against the railing as he continued to think of ways to help.
Penelope could feel his presence next to her. He smelled good, nothing perfumey, but like wood, dirt, metal, like a man who works but still remembers to wash his face. Oh shit her face must be so dirty.... Shit, he probably always sees her at her dirtiest all the time. Great another thing to he upset about. Thank God it was dark, she could feel some tears burn her eyes.
Raf rubbed his face hoping the words about to come out of his mouth helps, "so... I don't know you all that well......Uhm but you seem like someone who doesn't give up."
It was much easier to talk to her when he couldn't see her.
"Uhm, you do also seem like the kind of person who would try to eat an entire cake in one bite."
Penelope stood up confused but Rafael couldn't see her so he continued.
"I think..... Uhm you should eat the cake one piece at a time", He grinned like an idiot because he knew what he was saying sounded real stupid but he rolled with it.
It was hard to see but Penelope could feel his smile.
"This is cliche.... But, uh, set small goals. Like for instance," He paused and Penelope looked at him,
"For instance", he took the hoe, "bring your tools to me because....I can make them make your life easier."
He let out a laugh and Penelope relaxed and laughed a little too which made the brimming tears disappear.
"Uhm so don't give up. Set smaller goals", he recapped just in case his idea didn't come across, "anyone can do anything with hard work."
She could feel his smile again, "Thanks."
Rafael could feel his stupid cheeks get hot again, "yeah.... No problem."
They finished their walk in a significantly more comfortable silence. Penelope walked up her 2 steps and turned to Raf. They were both slightly illuminated by the orange porch light.
"Okay, get proper sleep now", he stuttered now that he could see her. He turned to walk away.
"Sweet dreams Rafael", Penelope called after him.
Raf choked a lil and quickly sputtered back, "sweet dreams."
He now walked quickly away.
Penelope entered her house and could feel her face was completely flushed. She went to the bathroom to get ready for bed and saw her face in the mirror.
Oh no!!! Her face was exceptionally dirty. She washed up and died of embarrassment on her bed. But shortly after her moment of dying she feel asleep hard.
Once Raf was clear of Penelope's property he let out a long sigh and hid his face in his hands. Why did he feel like he was dying everytime he talked to her.
Pablo was home when Raf got in
"Oh hey where were you?"
Raf looked at his brother a little dazed, "just out for a walk", He said and walked right past him into his room.
He flopped face first on to his bed. Ugh he had butterflies and he was very aware of his heart beat. He rolled onto his back and stared at the dimly lit ceiling.
'Sweet dreams Rafael' played over and over in his head and he couldn't stop blushing

hello!! i found your blog not so long ago and i already love it so much, i was wondering if (if your request are open) you could do an ateez reaction to their s/o crying/pouting because they(atz) got jealous and they were ignoring their s/o (almost like the hwa reaction to you dancing w/ another member) 🥺 i love your blog so much.. hope your staying safe!!! 🤍
Okay, my sweet anon, this ended up being shorter than I originally wrote it bc it got deleted last time but I think I hit all the important stuff anyway! Also, I appreciate the positivity and I hope you are staying safe as well! <3
Summary: Ateez gets jealous of your conversation with another member. During a group dinner. Since they are feeling neglected, they decide to give you a taste of your own medicine.
Hongjoong:
Okay so Hongjoong is totally calm about his bitterness
Like he’s definitely staring daggers at whichever member you’re talking to
But other than throwing a dirty glance in their direction every once in a while
No one will even be able to notice that he’s remotely upset about anything
I think that he’s probably used to covering his emotions well since he’s the leader and he feels like he needs to be the most mature and stuff
That can lead him to being kind of reserved about his emotions though and that might bug some people
And so when you finally start giving him some attention
He’s gonna turn away from you and just flat out pretend he cant hear you
But when you finally get home at the end of the night and you’re sulking because he hasn’t said a word to you since before dinner
He starts to feel hella guilty
Like he never wants to hurt you but his jealousy really just took control of him that night for some reason
And if you’re making big, sad eyes at him and following him like a puppy as he does his nightly routine…
He’s done for
But I feel like once you actually start having a conversation, he’s very good at keeping it from turning into an argument
Good at “I feel” statements you know?
But both of you recover from this rather quickly and just make it up to each other by snuggling for the rest of the night
Seonghwa:
So Seonghwa is the type to act normal enough that the guys won’t notice that anything is wrong
But you know him well enough to know that he’s being kind of cold to you for some reason
And if you notice he’s being super low-key rude to another member then you can kind of connect the dots and understand why he’s upset
He will never let any of the guys see his anger though
Mostly because he’s the oldest and he feels that responsibility to them to only show them his good side if he can help it
So he will talk to you, but only like one word at a time
And he’ll brush you off if you touch him
But he will disguise it by reaching for food or something
He’s good at this okay
But if you just keep staring at him and the guys notice enough to ask you what’s wrong, then he’ll tell you to fake it til you get home
And you do because you don’t want to upset him more yk
And when you get home though, you’re almost in tears bc hiding it like that was so exhausting and painful
When he sees you starting to break a little, then he’s hugging you
Like .5 seconds to cross the room to get to you okay
Drama Mama Hwa to Protective Boyfriend Hwa that quick
He’ll explain why he was upset and you’ll explain your side as well
And once you’re finished, you’re both calm and forgiving about it
Even if you don’t fully understand each others point of view, you get it enough to let it go
Then you both just pass out together bc emotions are tiring
But you definitely wake up with smiles on your faces the next morning
Yunho:
(this is how he sulks at you okay its adorable, i just wanna give him the world)
this jealous baby
Like did you guys see that video of him and Wooyoung eating cheese tteokbokki like San was just tryna help no need to get your boxers in a bunch sweetie
But anyways, I digress
If he’s jealous, he’s gonna let you know straight out the gate
Like he’ll literally tap you on the shoulder and then act like he did nothing
And at first you’re like aw cute he’s being playful
But really he just wants you to know he’s ignoring you on purpose
Like how dare you not notice that Im ignoring you purposefully… He’s not gonna put in all this effort just for you to not notice okay
And when your brain finally connects those dots its like ugh
But Yunho is easy to break okay
Like the second you pay him even a lick of attention he’s so happy
Its just really hard for him to stay upset
But dammit he’s gonna try his best to keep it up until he thinks you have both neglected each other for an equal amount of time
But both of you are kinda clingy
So even if you both know this won’t last for very long, you still get kinda sad about it
And the second your lip juts out and you’re pouting
He’s smooshing your cheeks and just going “aigooooooo” and babying you and stuff
All the other members are disgusted but they’re just jealous okay I said what I said
Yeosang:
(Kang Yeosang character summary: will ignore you for chicken)
Okay I don’t think Yeosang is the type to ignore you on purpose
He just gets really in his head when he’s jealous and gets quiet
And I feel like we see more of Yeosang’s quiet side rather than his expressive side
So maybe he’s shyer about emotions? Idk this is all speculation anyway
So if he’s in his head, he’s definitely not trying to hurt you or anything
He’s just thinking about everything and feeling neglected and insecure
Poor baby
Like he’s only gonna notice that you’re sad about him ignoring you once youre alone
Bc nothing else can distract him from you aw
And if you’re even the slightest bit teary, all of his insecurities fly out the window
Like all his focus will be on making you feel better
And when you say that you’re upset bc he was ignoring you
He’ll literally be like… you were ignoring me tho???
Also he strikes me as the type to laugh in serious situations so he will deadass burst out laughing
Like full on cackling
You’re half crying and just staring at him like ??? Wtf???
And he’s like WE IGNORED EACH OTHER HAHAHA
What the hell’s so funny about that you absolute crackhead
But then youre laughing too bc you realize that this entire situation is kind of ridiculous anyway
And both of you get over just like that, and spend the rest of the night giving each other all the love and affection you have to spare
San:
Okay San’s type of jealousy is more aggressive I think
Like not that he’s aggressive towards anyone about, just it impacts him way more than anyone else
So it can really take a toll on your relationship sometimes
But I do feel like, if he’s gonna ignore you, it’s only gonna be while you’re in front of the members
But as soon as you get home, all the emotions are gonna come out at once
Like as soon as you step through the door, word vomit all over the place
And if you’re eyes are glossy too then both of you are gonna end up crying
And neither of you are really sure why you’re crying, you’re just soft babies okay
But I do think that San is more accusatory in these situations
Like a lot of “you did this” instead of “this is how I feel”
So it can start arguments sometimes
This time though, you’re both just emo and soft
Since you’re both a little bit weepy, you’re both just apologizing profusely
but neither of you really know why you’re sorry
You just are
And no formal resolution is reached because you both fall asleep all cozied up to each other with tears drying on both of your faces
And you wake up in the morning, kind of giggling at each other
All the negativity got washed out of your systems anyway :)
Mingi:
this BABY
he’s jealous but if he ignores you omg
its so hard for him to do
god like he's not even good at it
like he’s ignoring you but still holding your hand??
like how does that work
but anyway, even if you're pouting at him and stuff
he will be the one who ends up crying
like “why did you ignore meee”
and you're like... I didn't even realize I was??
so you decide to tell him what you and the members were talking about
and then all of a sudden, he’s distracted
like “ooh that interesting”
tell me more
or if it was a debate he’ll pick a side and have a full discussion with you
or if he agrees with you, he will playfully diss the other members for being wrong lmao
basically, just distract him and everything will be all set
just don't make a habit of ignoring him bc then he will really feel unloved and no one is allowed to hurt my Minnie
Wooyoung:
So, Wooyoung is more exaggerated with the way he expresses his emotions
And we all know that I mean we’ve seen it
So when he gets jealous, he feels it in his chest
Then those emotions bubble up and come out in the form of hysterics
So he goes extra crazy for a little bit
Like not showing anger or anything, just being excessively crackheadish
And obviously not giving any of that attention to you
You notice it immediately
Like if he’s super excited, he always gives you most of his attention bc he really wants to share that happiness with you
But if he’s ignoring you, its really obvious
And you really feel the hurt bc its like… he never acts like this normally
So once you get home you’ve pretty much had it
Like your eyes are welling up and he’s just kind of looks at you like “oh nooooooo, I done messed up”
And he’s holding you and apologizing and being sweet and explaining why he did it
Literally swears up and down he will never do it again
Bc when he feels guilty it’s overwhelming for him too
Especially when it comes to you
So you end up snuggling each other the whole night to make up for the time you lost ignoring each other
Jongho:
Jongho is definitely more reserved about his emotions and we see that a lot
I feel like its probably because he’s the youngest and he doesn’t want his hyungs to think he’s immature or incapable of handling his emotions
So he is gonna try to maintain that tough facade in front of his members at all costs
And they won’t really notice if you guys are having problems bc I feel like he tends to keep things about your relationship more private in front of them anyway
So if he’s ignoring you, the other guys will just assume that he’s trying to keep being tough
No one is allowed to see Jongho soft okay
But you will be seeing him turn soft the second he notices that you’re hurting
If he notices that you’re upset when you’re with the guys, he will take you home early
The second you’re alone, protective and soft Jongho combine to form that side of him the guys arent allowed to see
He hates that he’s the reason you’re feeling hurt
Will try literally anything to make you feel better
He is not gonna stop touching you and holding you and babying you all night
Has to be in contact with you in some way or he’ll cry
But either way he’s gonna be the best boyfriend to make up with
Bc he behaves this way after every conflict you have
Forever a sweetheart

Concentric [15]
masterlist
Words: 13.3k 😅
Genres: fantasy!AU, angst, fluff, enemies to lovers, eventual smut (?)
Warnings: some brief smexi and violent blurbs (death)
Summary: You had been ready for the end of the semester. You had been ready to spend time away from your best friend, Jimin, and finally move on from the feelings you harbored. Yet, after your friend was forced to reveal a secret, you found yourself in a new world that was chock full of magic, war, and wonder. So, here you were, basically thrown into your own fantasy novel, with your best friend on one side, and six male warriors on the other.
A/N: I would like to thank the song Different by Woodz for helping me power through this long ass update. Thank you everyone for waiting so patiently!!! Engoy! 💙
“You need to raise your elbow.”
Arms straining against the draw-weight, you struggled a bit to comply, but you managed to lift your elbow just an inch higher.
“Okay, better, but now you’re leaning forward.” Jungkook critiqued as he peered at you.
Sighing, you relaxed your draw and allowed your arms to drop. Holding your bow in one hand and the arrow in the other, you began to shake your limbs out and roll your shoulders; trying to loosen up and get rid of the tension in your body. Though it was a little difficult to accomplish when a certain someone was right there.
Does he have to stand so close?
“Try again.”
Think about the target, not him.
Nodding, you nocked the arrow before inhaling and raising your bow. Breathing slowly and steadily, you took aim and waited for Jungkook’s assessment. Though as you waited, you did your best to ignore his distracting presence. You focused your eyes on the target carved in to the tree. Not the simultaneously cute, hot, and concentrated look on his handsome face. You listened to the chatter of birds and the whoosh of wind through the leaves. Not the song he hummed in an alluring voice as he inspected your form and circled around to your back. You breathed in the fragrance of damp earth and soggy wood caused by last night’s rain. Not the intoxicating and comforting scent of steel and florets that followed his body like candle smoke
Nope, definitely not focusing on any of those.
A warm touch under your elbow made you flinch.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” He murmured as he adjusted your arm to his liking. “There. Much better.”
You swallowed hard and let him manipulate you as he pleased. You weren’t even paying attention to the way he maneuvered your form. All you could think of was that he was right behind you.
Right.
Behind.
You.
Oh my-fuck-okay. This is fine. Everything’s fine.
He moved his other hand down to your tummy, stepping closer to you to balance himself as he did so. Pressing against your belly slightly, he forced your spine to straighten. The action caused your back to brush against his chest and your lungs to harshly suck in air.
“Keep your posture or your back will hate you.”
This is not fine. This is not fine. Holy fuck. Everything is most definitely not fine!
The early morning chill in your bones began evaporating as his body heat enveloped you, but despite the warmth now flowing into you, goosebumps started to develop along your skin. Originating at the source of his contact, you felt them follow the tingles surging through you and you shivered at their sensations. Overwhelmed by his proximity, you didn’t know what to do. Your entire body was frozen. Your entire self was burning.
“You good? You just stiffened all of the sudden.” Jungkook noted as he felt your body tense beneath his hands.
Your eyes widened and you thanked the gods of Illain that he couldn’t see them expand in panic. Hastily, you released the bowstring and the arrow thumped into the tree just shy of the center of the target. As soon as the arrow hit, you stepped forward and away from Jungkook. Immediately, you missed his warmth. At the same time, you felt like you could breathe again.
Pivoting to face the male, you saw him smiling proudly at your shot.
“I’m good. Totally good. Fantastic you could say, as you can see.” You gestured to the arrow before bringing your hand to rub up and down the arm that held the bow.
Jungkook’s smile morphed int a smirk as he turned his eyes to you and crossed his arms. “I wouldn’t say fantastic… but it’s pretty great, I’ll give you that.”
You felt the corner of your mouth upturn slightly at his praise and you looked down to hide the delicate grin.
You heard him chuckle lightly. “Let’s do it again.”
Only if you help agai-wait no. NO. No closeness. No touchy. Get some distance.
Lifting your head to look at him, you didn’t make any moves to step forward as you raked your brain for alternative things to do. Your obvious hesitation made him raise an eyebrow at you. Pursing your lips, you shifted your gaze to the tress beside him as you pleaded with your chickpea brain to come up with something. Anything. But when you still didn’t move or say a word, his eyes narrowed, and he took a step toward you.
As he advanced, you lurched backward; desperate to keep space between you as you suddenly exclaimed, “Meditation!”
Jungkook stopped and looked at you in both a curious and confused manner. “Medi…tation…?”
“Oh, uh… yes! Meditation!” You rapidly nodded and went ahead and sat on the ground. “I feel a little disorganized today mentally, so I think it would be more beneficial.”
Not to mention it’ll keep you away because you’re the reason my mind is a fucking mess.
“O-Okay?” He blinked at your strange behavior.
“Great!” You laid back and rested your hands on your stomach while closing your eyes. “Now sit your ass down and don’t move and don’t say anything.”
You heard him huff and move before plopping down. Of course, right next to you.
Can he not!? Ugh, okay, whatever. Just focus on your breathing and ignore him.
It seemed like several minutes went by of trying to imagine a lotus flower expanding and collapsing in your mind to time your breaths to. Those minutes, which in actuality were probably only mere seconds, were constantly interrupted by the feeling of being watched. It started weighing down on you, making it damn near impossible to conjure that imaginary lotus flower.
A few more minutes seconds went by, and that feeling grew heavier and heavier. Finally, you opened your lids ever so slightly and peeked a Jungkook.
Who was staring straight at you with soft, peridot eyes.
Spasming internally, you sat up and smacked his arm, which startled him. “Meditating doesn’t mean watching me like a creeper!”
He just laughed and shrugged as he made a remark about how he couldn’t help himself. Apparently, you had just looked too adorable all relaxed and breathing slowly while your body occasionally twitched.
All the air in your lungs magically vanished as your jaw dropped.
A-Adorable? Why does he have to say stuff like that!?
His smile doubled at your dumbfounded and shocked appearance. “You going to continue…?”
Cute smile. Cute face. I wanna smoosh in my hands. I wanna-okay, nope nope nope. This isn’t working. Time to abort.
“You know what? I feel way better already. I feel so organized. Like I got shelves in my head type of organized and-” You gasped, though it was a little too aggressive to possibly sound legit and scrambled to your feet. “Oh my goodness, I just remembered I promised Tae I’d help him catch a… a duck! I promised him I’d help catch a duck this morning. So, um, I gotta leave… to go catch a… duck…”
Bending down, you quickly snatched up your bow as a baffled, yet intrigued, Jungkook probed, “Why does Tae want a duck?”
“Uh… he, uh, said he wanted it for dinner and Jin said he’d cook it fi he got one?”
You jogged over to where your quiver was resting against the base of a tree and picked it up by the strap. You stilled briefly as you realized almost a third of your arrows were implanted in various trees, but you ultimately decided you didn’t necessarily need them.
“Duck is pretty tasty…” Jungkook muttered to himself before snapping back to attention. “Hey, wait, we aren’t done with training yet!”
That was true. You probably still had a good twenty-five minutes left in the session, but you didn’t think twice about ditching early as you sped-walked out of there. All you could think of was getting away from Jungkook’s cute, stupid face and his cute, stupid remarks that didn’t mean what you wanted them to mean. Said male, taken aback by your rapid departure, simply stared at your retreating back.
As you finally put some distance between you and Jungkook you head him shout after you. “Where the Illai’s name are you going to find a duck in the middle of the forest!?”
As the sun reached its highest point later that same day, you found yourself firmly slapping a hand over Tae’s mouth. You had just told him about your possible feelings toward his brother that may or may not be developing into a full-blown crush. At first, he pouted, thinking you were teasing him and dangling his “ship” in front of his face. As weird as that sounded, you didn’t crack a smile or even giggle. This was some serious shit, dammit. Once he realized you weren’t joking around, the Saeni gradually started hyperventilating and buzzing in excitement. Which led you to your current position: hand smacked over his mouth to conceal any squeal that threatened to escape. His blue eyes locked with yours and you sighed at the utter elation swimming in them.
He pushed your arm away, freeing his mouth, and whisper-yelled, “You’re serious!? Oh my goddess, yes yes yes!”
Although he wasn’t being very loud, your eyes still darted around to check if anyone was listening. “Can you keep it down?”
Your eyes continued to frantically sweep over the other Saeni, but when you realized none of them had heard, you released some of the tension in your body. As you let out your relieved exhale, your gaze fell on the burgundy head that was walking alongside your best friend. Smiling, you raised a hand and let your fingertips brush against the quiver strap crossing your chest.
You were all gearing up to leave, just double-checking to make sure you had all your things. It had been about forty minutes since you dipped from training, and Namjoon wanted to roll out within the next five. Satisfied all your belongings were safely tucked away, you zipped up your backpack and rose from your crouch while continuing to explain to Tae how frustrating it was when books change their covers halfway through a series.
“Like you have the first two books with the original cover and out of nowhere they just change to a new edition for the third book! So, you either have to deal with mismatched covers or spend the money to replace the first two books! Ugh! It gives me a headache.”
“Is it really that big of a deal?” Tae inquired as he adjusted his headband. “I mean, you’re still reading the same story, right?”
“Yes, it’s a big deal! A huge deal! And don’t even get me started on when they change the cover to the movie poster.” You fake gagged at the thought, causing Tae to giggle.
“What’s a movi-”
He was interrupted by someone clearing their throat and you looked over your shoulder to see Jungkook standing there with one of his hands behind his back.
“Hey, Kookie! What’s up?” Tae asked while you just smiled at the green-eyed male and tried to ignore your quickening heartbeat.
Bringing his visible hand up to rub the back of his neck, he said, “H-Here,” while removing his other hand from behind his back and thrusting it toward you.
In his grasp was a bundle of arrows.
All the ones you had left behind this morning.
You moved your eyes from the arrows to his face and saw that he was still rubbing his neck while avoiding looking at you. Smiling to yourself, you thanked him before gently grabbing the arrows and tucking them into their rightful home.
“Hey!”
You beamed yourself out of the memory and back to reality at the sound of Tae excitedly addressing someone. Focusing your eyes back on your surroundings, you registered that both Yoongi and Hobi were now walking with you. He must have called them over while you were lost in your thoughts.
“Guess what, hyungs!?”
Hold up. Guess what!? Oh hell no. He better not be talking about what I think he’s talking about. I swear if he is…
“Tae…” You warned the Saeni as you carefully walked down an incline.
Dismissing you, he joyously leaned in close to the two older Saeni and whispered, “She has a crush on Kookie!”
“Tae!”
As Hobi gasped at the news, Yoongi glanced between you and his practically vibrating brother. “Am I supposed to act surprised or…?”
“Excuse me?” You scoffed at the magic user’s dry tone.
“Please, it’s quite obvious, Y/N.” He rolled his petal pink eyes and squatted underneath a fallen tree before smirking. “Looks like you got over Chim pretty fast though.”
“Whoa, you liked Chim?” Hobi covered his mouth in astonishment as he braced one hand on the same tree and leapt over it.
While you and Tae ducked and shuffled below it, his question made you groan.
For fuck’s sake, is it Expose Y/N Day?
“Does Chim even know?” Tae poked you.
“Know what?” You asked in an exasperated tone and almost releasing a hysterical chuckle. “That I thought I was in love with him or that I possibly like his brother now?”
“Oh my goddess, you were in love with Chim!?”
“Girl, you like him. Stop dancing around it. And no Hobi, she thought she was.”
You gave the magic user a pointed glare while angrily waving your arm around your head to ward off a pesky bug that kept bothering you. “I don’t think you have any room to talk, Mr. Sparkle Hands.”
His eyes briefly glanced at Hobi before narrowing at you menacingly. You gulped when you saw his hand twitch and a couple of mint-blue sparks fell the forest floor. Laughing nervously, you tiptoed your way to Hobi’s other side, effectively putting him between you and Yoongi like a shield.
The white-haired Saeni sighed contently and wrapped an arm around your shoulders, murmuring wistfully about young love as Tae elaborated on whether your best friend knew of your current crush.
You mumbled back that he didn’t.
“Well, why not?” Tae asked with an innocent tilt of his head. “I’m not complaining, but isn’t it sort of odd you told me before him?”
Yoongi rapped his knuckles on an adolescent tree he was passing while he snickered. “She’s probably too embarrassed to.”
“I am not!” You protested as Hobi frowned and told the magic user not to be mean.
The mint-haired Saeni just looked you up and down. “Mhmm. Sure.”
You released an offended noise and stepped out from underneath Hobi’s arm to glare at Yoongi.
“I’ll do it right now.” You raised a confident brow at him before yelling, “Slim Jim! Get your ass over here!”
Your smug expression steadily fell, though, as your best friend said a quick goodbye to Jungkook and jogged back to meet you.
Am I really about to tell my old crush about my new crush? I mean, he didn’t know he was my crush and maybe he wasn’t even an actual crush when I think about it now, but he is my best friend. He should know. But it’s still a bit weird an-
You jumped as Jimin tackled you into a big hug.
“What’s up, squirt?”
“Squirt?” You laughed a little too loud and a little too long. “That’s new! Ha ha! When did you come up with that one? It’s kinda too ‘Finding Nemo’ if you ask me, but I mean, you do you, you know? New nicknames… man, aren’t they jus…”
To the side, you saw Yoongi giving you an “I told you so” look, so you let your words trail off into silence. Jimin gave you a majorly confused face as you laughed to distract both him and you from your nerves, but you took a deep breath and managed to look him straight in the eye.
“Okay, so, um… I knda sort of maybe, uh… like somone?”
Jimin grinned at you, his eyes squishing closed. “Kookie, right? You guys would be cute together.”
Your jaw dropped and you tripped over a tree root.
“Why are you so shocked?” He asked with a laugh as he nudged you. “I’m your best friend, doofus. I’ve known you for so long and you’ve never looked at someone the way you look at him.”
You looked down at your hands and began toying with your fingers.
“I probably looked at you like that, you just never noticed…” You muttered under your breath, forgetting that his hearing now matched his brothers.
“Wait, what?”
You immediately stopped walking and stiffened. Oh, fuck.
You shot your head up and your wide eyes met his, but no sound came out of your mouth. You just parted and closed your lips repeatedly, not knowing what to do or say. As you desperately tried to figure out what you should do, you saw the others step back slightly and look away.
“You… you liked me?”
“Wow, I think I dropped my, uh, dignity back there so I’m just gonna go spend the rest of my life looking for it a-”
“Y/N…”
“-nd never show my face to anyone ever again. See ya!” With a panicked salute, you swiveled around and went to go find a ditch to lay down in for the remainder of eternity.
He stopped you by gently grabbing your wrist and saying your name desperately. “Y/N…”
Letting out a defeated sigh, you turned back to him. “Fine… yes, I liked you. Er, I thought I did. I’m honestly not quite sure what I really felt for you anymore.”
“Shit, Y/N, I… I’m so sorry. I didn’t know, and fuck, I would go out with all those girls right in front of you and…” He released your wrist to run a hand through his hair. “Fuck. I’m such a-I didn’t-holy shit.”
You sent him a soft grin and pushed his shoulder playfully. “Of course you didn’t know. I know you didn’t because I made sure you didn’t. And you don’t need to apologize. Besides, like I said, I’ve moved on from your sorry ass.”
“Yeah, for my own brother.” Jimin teased you but his smile quickly fell, and he continued with a strained voice. “I just… fuck, I feel like the biggest asshole. I literally just talked about knowing you for so long and I didn’t even… I didn’t even realize I was hurting you.”
Both his hands went to his hair and he tugged on it stressfully.
“Hey hey hey.” You detangled his fingers from his apricot locks and held his hands. “It’s okay. I’m good. You’re good. We’re good. I swear.”
You dropped his hands and then held your arms out with a hesitant smile, hoping that he still felt comfortable around you. To your relief, he immediately entered your embrace and held you tightly. You clung to each other for several seconds until, with one last squeeze, you stepped back. You saw he was lightly beaming at you and he reached out to ruffle your hair.
Seeing that your “private” moment was over, the others joined once more and began teasing you for how awkward that whole conversation was. You mildly shoved a laughing Yoongi away, but you were giggling as well because they weren’t wrong.
Awkward? Absolutely. But I feel… better?
“What are you guys talking about?” A new voice popped up. “You’re making me feel left out.”
Your giggles faded as you noticed Jungkook standing on the outskirts of your little gossip group, a pout evident on his face.
Your eyes bugged out. “N-Nothing! Nothing at all!”
Tae’s eyes, on the other hand, brightened and he began saying, “Actually, we were talking about-”
“Oh, just stupid stuff like, uh… if we prefer waffles or pancakes and our favorite sex positions!” You hastily spoke over the grey-haired Saeni, but as soon as your words left your mouth you wanted to mentally smack yourself to oblivion.
Favorite sex positions? Really, Y/N? REALLY!?
Jungkook coughed while the other three males did their best to contain their snorts and snickers.
Jimin’s face suddenly turned a little evil and you swallowed hard, just dreading his next statement and praying it wouldn’t be too detrimental to your soul.
“You came just in time, Kook. Y/N was just about to share hers.”
WHAT!?
You forced out a threatening laugh before saying through your gritted teeth, “But I already went, remember?”
You glared daggers at your so-called best friend.
He better not…
“I forget what you said,” Yoongi spoke up.
You blinked several times and raised your brows in incredulity.
Tae joined in. “Me too. I mean, there were just so many.”
You choked on your own spit and began hacking up a lung to try to clear your airway.
“Plus, I’m sure Kookie’s curious,” Hobi concluded.
You stumbled over your feet as your eyes expanded to comical proportions. After regaining your balance, you looked at the Saeni in absolute betrayal.
Sputtering, you began to deny their words. As you firmly protested how you only had one favorite position, thank you very much, you realized you were not helping your situation. At all. The three boys were wheezing and barely containing their outbursts. With a fed-up huff, you stomped over to Jungkook and as you passed his stiff form and strangely blank face, you grabbed his hand and dragged him after you. You were abandoning these disloyal hooligans right now and you sure as heck were not leaving Jungkook with them. Who knows what they would tell him!?
Probably that I basically have a big, fat crush on him and that it freaking hurts how I know he’ll never feel the same way about me.
Fuck, that’s so pathetic.
Tae, wanting to make his stupid ship a reality, would probably be the one to blurt it out. Curse his damn blabber mouth and his inability to keep a fucking secret. You undoubtedly trusted the blue-eyed male with your life… but you didn’t trust him with this. Not after he went ahead and spilled to Yoongi and Hobi not even five minutes later.
As a result, you were taking Jungkook with you.
They’re all traitors. Every single one of them. They can roast like marshmallows in the bonfires of hell for all I care now.
“Goodbye, everyone.” You called over your shoulder as you gave them a crisp middle finger without looking back. “I’ll remember you all in therapy!”
They all finally let out their rambunctious laughter as you marched away and towed the burgundy-haired Saeni behind you. Though, in your complete mortification and desire to get away, you didn’t register the fact that Jungkook hadn’t made a single peep during the entire exchange.
A little while later you were hopping from rock to rock as you crossed a shallow, but wide creek. Sure, your shoes were waterproof, so you could have just trudged through the tinkling water like everyone else, but it was more enjoyable this way. Plus, ten minutes ago, Jimin yelled out that he thought his father’s draeva was really close. The energy he was receiving from it had started palpitating and growing even stronger. Because of that, you were going to have as much fun as possible before shit got real again.
You peeked to your left to where Jungkook was making his way through the water beside you. You jolted as you realized he was already looking at you and right as you met his peridot gaze, you instantly returned your sight to the rocks in front of you. You did your best to keep your focus on the stones, but all you could feel were his eyes lingering on you now that you were aware of it. Huffing a bit, you tiptoed to the next available footing and wobbled slightly as the slab tilted under your weight. After steadying yourself, you leapt to the next rock, and the next, and the next. But as you landed on the last one, holding your breath for a second as you edged around the algae sludge covering it, you frowned as you saw a giant gap between you and the nearest rock. You narrowed your eyes at the distance, mentally trying to calculate if you would be able to jump that far when you heard a low chuckle next to you.
“I don’t think you can make that, little human.”
His voice held a tremendous teasing lilt; something that made you even more determined to successfully cross the distance. You wanted to prove him wrong. You could definitely make it. One hundred percent. Ten feet had nothing on you.
“Pffft. Of course I can, just watch me.” You shifted your feet and bent your knees a bit, readying your muscles as you zeroed in on your destination.
Your resolve strengthened as you saw Jungkook cross his arms with an expectant look gracing his face, as if he was waiting for you to fail. With a deep breath, you brought your weight back as you swung your arms behind you. Then, with a tiny, defiant grunt, you threw your weight forward and propelled your body through the air.
Well, you would have.
If your shoe hadn’t slipped on the slimy algae.
Your grunt quickly changed into a surprised screech as you felt yourself go down and not forward. You fell straight into the water with one leg splayed out, a knee tucked underneath you, a hand palming the sandy and pebble-ridden creek bottom, and a forearm somewhat bracing yourself. Of course, since you caught yourself partially on your forearm, half your face was also dunked below the surface.
You shoved yourself up, sputtering as you spat water out of your mouth and pushed your half-wet hair out of your face. As your eyes and ears were cleared of creek water, the first that and sound that met you was Jungkook doubled over from laughter. He kept alternating between pointing at you and clapping his hands as he tried his damned hardest to form words but would lose himself to hysterics every time he took in your now soggy state. His nose was scrunching up, his head thrown back, and the tips of his pointy ears were turning red from the sheer force of his laughter.
Sulking, you raised yourself to both knees and inspected your palm as Jungkook’s boisterous sounds continued to fill the atmosphere. Glad to see that you hadn’t cut your hand, you glared up at the Saeni before looking back down at the water.
“You can stop laughing now, geez,” you mumbled in pout.
But the boy just kept at it. Between his cackles, he made sure to point out how he had “told you” you wouldn’t be able to make it. As if your embarrassment and water-logged self didn’t make that clear enough for you.
He’s such a little shit.
You splashed your hand through the creek, catapulting water at the green-eyed male. It hit him at his upper legs and lower torso, slightly dampening the fabric. Instantly, Jungkook stopped laughing and stared at you with a blank face. You lifted an eyebrow and stared back, your stubbornness and pettiness rising to the surface. A few seconds of your impromptu staring match went by, then Jungkook’s eyes grew devious while he stepped closer to you. Before you could even blink, he placed his hands on your shoulders and shoved.
With a curse, you immediately lost your balance and fell backwards until you landed on your ass. You whimpered as the water seeped into your clothes and completely drenched the rest of your body. Glowering up at the male, you wanted to throw a tantrum at the smirk plastered to his face.
“Don’t start something you can’t finish, sweetheart.” He winked, and with one last chuckle, began making his way across the creek once more.
You smacked the water with your fists before bringing your dripping self to your feet. “GET BACK HERE, YOU INSUFFERABLE COCONUT!”
He just laughed at your outburst and kept walking, so you took off after him. When he heard your feet stomping through the water, he started running away with a grin on his face. You chased after him, screaming obscenities, but you couldn’t help but start laughing too. You probably looked like an idiotic fool to all the other Saeni who were watching your antics unfold.
Jungkook reached the opposite side of the creek and sprinted away into the trees. He must have been “jogging,” though, because you were right on his heels. You both crashed through the forest, yelling and taunting each other. Momentarily, you lost sight of the Saeni through the thick greenery but continued running after him in the direction you believed he went. When you broke through a cluster of leaves, you saw him standing still with his back to you. Snickering, you snuck up to him as quietly as you could and was about to jump on his back… but you stopped. You had finally looked beyond his shoulders, albeit just for a moment, but the scene made your steps falter.
“Whoa.”
In front of you was a slightly crumpled, but mostly intact, stone construction tucked between the trees. The parts that were still solid were innately carved, so it looked like it must have been something important back in the day. Random trees were growing up and out of the sections of the collapsed stonework, their roots stretching over the structure like lacework. Vines crept over the entire thing as well, and little white flowers were bursting along the climbing plants. Their scent drifted over to you, and you inhaled their floral sweetness. The familiarity of the smell made you think it might be wild honeysuckle. At the center of the building, a detailed spire rose toward the sky. It wasn’t a skinny, needle-esque tower, but rather it was a fat and almost cone-shaped thing that extended to a round point at the top. The carvings were delicate and intricate, and icicles of stonework spiraled around it, creating an interesting contrast to the upward direction of the spire.
As you absorbed the old, yet exceptionally beautiful structure before you in awe, Jungkook let out a breath and whispered, “Juufa.”
It turned out the building was an ancient temple dedicated to Juufa, the god of harmony. Jungkook was in the process of explaining that when the rest of the Saeni caught up with you. All their eyes went wide and they each fell into silent awe as they saw it.
Jungkook continued murmuring to you, “It’s rare to see a temple for the harmony.”
“Huh? Why?”
“It’s said that he doesn’t like to be worshipped because it’s distracting. He prefers to keep to himself and just focus on his duties.” He gestured to the slightly dilapidated structure. “Because of that, most who had temples for Juufa ended up heading his desire and allowing nature to retake them.”
That… is very unconventional of a god. I like him already.
As you continued gawking at the impressive sight before you, you saw Jimin run a hand through his apricot locks and inspect the area in your peripherals. He shuddered suddenly and locked his eyes on one spot to the right of the temple. Following his gaze, it led you to a gathering of trees displayed in a bright beam of sunlight.
“That’s it…” he whispered, making you gasp.
Oh my gosh, is his father’s draeva over there!? Talk about nice real estate.
As if in a trance, Jimin began walking over and you all trailed after him. Along the way, Yoongi silently waved his sparkling hands at you to magically dry you and your clothes off. You sent him a small nod in thanks, pleased to no longer be cold and dripping. As you neared the trees, you could see that Jimin was moving toward the one with the thickest trunk. You didn’t know what type of tree it was, but it was tall and sturdy with a vast network of limbs stretching up and out.
“That’s it,” he whispered again while stepping into sun patch.
You and the other Saeni stopped about ten feet away and spread out in a sloppy semi-circle as Jimin kept advancing.
You held your breath as your best friend hesitantly approached the tree. Slowly, he lifted his hand and placed it against the trunk. But nothing happened.
“Find his handprint,” Jiae suggested with a smile as her lilac hair fluttered in the wind.
Jimin nodded and began stalking around the tree, looking around the trunk and up into the limbs.
“I think I see it,” he said as he began climbing.
As he ascended, you tilted your head toward Tae and asked, “What’s gonna happen when he unlocks the secret?”
He shook his head, causing his feather earring to jingle against his other piercings, and replied that he had no idea.
Blowing out a raspberry, you returned your eyes to Jimin, who exclaimed that he found his father’s mark.
One again, you held your breath and leaned forward in anticipation. Jungkook, though, went to stand underneath his brother. Probably in case the half-Saeni fell from whatever was about to occur.
A crisp breeze ruffled the leaves and Jimin’s hair, and you saw the branch he was leaning against sway in the air. And after taking a deep breath to steel himself, Jimin gently allowed his hand to rest against the bark, in the place you assumed his father’s handprint was located.
And yet, nothing happened.
Jimin’s brows furrowed and he removed his hand before placing it back.
Still, nothing happened.
All of you on the ground pursed your lips and looked at each other in befuddlement before returning your eyes to the apricot head who was now repeatedly slamming his hand into the tree. You blinked at him while he began huffing and puffing in frustration.
Geez, Slim Jim. It’s a tree, not a frozen computer.
“Why-” Slam. “-won’t-” Slam. “-you-” Slam. “-work!?” Slam.
He really emphasized the last one by grinding and smooshing his hand into the bark.
“Uh, maybe give it a moment Chim.” Namjoon called up to him.
You snorted to yourself before adding, “Yeah, maybe it’s just thinking!”
Jimin took his hand off and let out an aggravated noise while pushing his hair back. “It’s not working!”
Tae then proposed that maybe he had the wrong draeva. Yoongi, Jin, and Mingi voiced their agreement and Hobi even started inspecting other trees nearby. As both Jimin and Jiae argued that it was definitely the right one, you sat down with a sigh and rested your chin on your palm. Jungkook saw you and gave you a lopsided smile while rolling his eyes playfully at everyone else.
You grinned back at him but hoped he couldn’t see the heat rising to your cheeks due to how handsome he looked standing in the sunlight. Looking away from him, you leaned back on your hands as you let the Saeni figure out the issue at hand. This wasn’t your area of expertise, so you were just going to sit back and offer occasional moral support.
And that’s exactly what you did and have been doing for the past thirty minutes or so.
“You can do it Jimin! Anything is possible is you just believe,” you shouted at your best friend in a sweet voice while sending him two encouraging thumbs up.
He just groaned and tugged on his hair for the umpteenth time.
Shrugging, you went back to drawing in the dirt with a stick. You would throw out another great, motivational quote in maybe… two minutes?
I feel like that kid in a group project who shows up to meetings and offers their opinion but doesn’t actually do anything.
Another fifteen minutes and numerous uplifting sayings went by and it was safe to say that you were bored out of your mind. Throwing your stick aside, you stood up and wiped your bum off before clearing your throat to gain the attention of the Saeni.
“Welp, as invigorating as this is, I’m gonna go explore the temple.” You went to pivot on your feet but paused and sheepishly looked at Namjoon. “Oh, um, is that allowed? Like am I not supposed to go in there since I’m not Saeni?”
The leader of the kiela contemplated for a moment before showing off his dimpled smile and waving you on. “Ah, no, it should be fine.”
You clapped your hands together in satisfaction. “Fantastic… well, scream if you figure it out or need me!”
You fully swiveled around and began strutting off toward the entrance of the semi-collapsed structure, eager to see it up close and what it looked like on the inside.
“Y/N!”
You stopped your leg in midair and pursed your lips as you looked over your shoulder. “Damn, ya’ll need me already?”
Jungkook jogged over to you, the top of his burgundy hair bouncing slightly. The corner of your lip quirked up at the sight, but you quickly forced your mouth back to a neutral position.
“No, I just, um, I-I’ll come with you. You know, since it’ll be dark, and you might not be able to see.”
You placed your foot down, teetering a bit since it landed partially in a hole in the ground, and rolled your eyes. “There you go yet again with that superior senses bullshit. But sure, fine, whatever, come on. At least I can push you in front of me if there’s booby traps.”
His steps slowed down, and he furrowed his brows. “Why would there be something to trap your boobs?”
You heard Jimin snort while he continued scrutinizing the draeva.
“Ya! Refer to them respectfully as breasts, you sprout!” Jin hollored.
“Personally, that’s worse because it makes me feel like a chicken,” Jiae replied to the eldest before meeting your pained eyes. “What about you, Y/N?”
I can never win, can I?
You closed your eyes and sighed in defeat as you pressed your fingers onto your lids. “Just… forget it. Let’s go, Coco.”
I’m totally sacrificing him if I have to.
By the time you and Jungkook emerged from the temple, the sun was starting to descend in the horizon. You breathed in the sweet air of Illain and the honeysuckle, happy to no longer be inhaling the dusty stuffiness from the depths of the temple.
The innards of the structure had been just as beautifully broken as the outside. Ornate sculptures and detailed artwork filled the passageways and rooms, and you had eagerly explored the many corridors with Jungkook by your side. Luckily, you had been able to see a majority of it due to the numerous tiny windows carved into the walls and ceilings. It hadn’t provided the best light, but it had been enough to make do.
In some parts of the temple, the halls were completely collapsed in, or tree roots and thick honeysuckle vines blocked the way like a filigree wall. But there had been no booby traps, much to your dismay. As terrifying as they would have been, it was would have been a little exciting. And with Jungkook with you, you knew nothing bad would have happened.
Your favorite part was probably the room on the highest floor that was filled with hundreds of tiny bells strung on chains hanging from the ceiling. Sure, there had been the slightly creepy, but very detailed painting on the back wall depicting a female clawing out a male’s heart with her hand. The female had a sun hovering above her head and a sad look to her face while the male had a crescent moon floating above his painfully contorted face. But as gruesome as the picture was, it was strangely beautiful and alluring. Maybe the underlying concept of female empowerment made you cheer internally. You didn’t really know for sure.
You had admired the image underneath the singing bells for a couple minutes until Jungkook came to stand next to you. You remembered him frowning as he stared at it. When you asked him what that look was for, he had explained that the sun was the symbol for Illai. He didn’t understand why the artwork showed her killing someone. She was a kind and benevolent goddess. Someone who brought life, not death. You had pondered his words, before shrugging and suggesting that maybe it was just a metaphor for the morning sun “killing” nighttime.
Whatever it was, you still liked it.
Skipping over a bundle of roots in front of the temple entryway, you saw that everyone except for Jimin, Jiae, and Chungha were sitting in a small circle around a fire. Hobi was picking at the dirt under his nails with one of his blades and Yoongi was curled up next to him with his eyes closed. Tae and Mingi were throwing a rock back and forth through the flames, and Jin and Namjoon were speaking quietly to each other as the former nudged the fire with a stick. You and Jungkook made your way over to them, and as you approached, they ceased their respective activities (minus Yoongi) and greeted you both.
After sending everyone a tiny wave, you sat down beside Tae. Jungkook followed suit, sitting down beside you and resting his forearms on his knees.
“Seeing as Jimin isn’t here, I’m guessing he still hasn’t had any luck?”
Namjoon sighed and ran a hand down his face. “Nope. Nothing’s working.”
“Well… that’s not good.”
“You could say that again.” Jin snorted as he poked the edge of the fire.
Doing so made a plume of smoke rise from the embers and a sudden draft of wind sent it directly into Mingi, who began coughing and waving hand in front of his face.
While the guard combatted the smoke, Tae flopped to his back and whined about how bored he was.
Hearing the archer’s complaint, Hobi sheathed his blade and offered playing a game of keumbak, making Tae perk up in interest.
“What’s that?” You asked Jungkook in a whisper while Namjoon began protesting Hobi’s suggestion.
“Basically, you spin a knife and whoever it lands on has to stand against a tree and let everyone else throw a knife at him.” Your eyes widened in fear but Jungkook kept going. “Whoever’s knife gets closest without hitting the person wins and they don’t partake in sequential rounds. You keep going until someone either loses or gets hit. Oh, and you get bonus points of style and throw difficulty.”
What kind of fatal, wack- ass game is this?
You gulped and wondered how you could get yourself out of playing. You weren’t too keen on having knives thrown at you today. Or throwing them at your friends and possibly hurting them. Seeing your freaked-out expression, Jungkook chuckled but voiced that he didn’t think keumbak was a good idea.
Hobi huffed and inquired what Jungkook would deem a better game to play. The burgundy head nudged you, silently telling you to say something.
“Uh… what about Truth or Dare?”
Tae gasped excitedly. “Oh, Chim’s had us play that before! It was fun!”
“Wait, what’s Truth or Dare?” Mingi questioned with curious hazel eyes.
As you explained the basic rules to the guard, you saw Hobi gently shake Yoongi awake. The magic user cursed and went to shout at who woke him up but stopped when he saw it was the white-haired Saeni. Smiling softly because of them, you asked if everyone was okay with playing.
Almost everyone nodded, but Mingi quickly asked one more question. “What if someone doesn’t want to answer or do the dare?”
“Uhhh…”
“If they want to be a little bitch, they have to take something off. Shirt first, though,” Yoongi groggily said as he sat up with Hobi’s help.
Oh, that’s a good one. I’ll get a nice, free show of all these attractive guys and it’s pretty harmless too since-WAIT. No, that means Jungkook might take stuff off. Oh fuck, I don’t think I can handle that. Though I kinda really want him to… but it won’t help my situation… but he has such a good body… fuck what am I going to do!?
You bit your lip as everyone murmured their agreement to his rule. After contemplating and telling yourself not to be a weenie, you agreed as well, which caused Yoongi to smirk in your direction.
Hobi, you better get your guy under control before I sit on him!
Tae began bouncing up and down, asking who was going to go first. You all looked at each other, wondering the same thing until you made a decision.
“Papa Jin! Why don’t you go since you’re the oldest?”
The raven-haired Saeni placed a hand over his heart. “It would truly be my honor, little scorja.”
Everyone fell quiet as you waited for Jin to pick out his victim.
“Mingi!” He suddenly shouted, causing Namjoon to jump in surprise next to him. “Truth or dare?”
“Truth,” Mingi responded without pause.
“What do you think of my cooking?”
Oh my fucking god, he’s fucking dead if he doesn’t answer this to Jin’s liking.
The hazel-eyed male shrugged. “Eh, it’s pretty good. Could honestly use some more heat in my opinion, but I can understand that ingredients are a bit… limited right now.”
You gaped at Mingi’s bold words then peeked at Jin to see his reaction. The eldest just laughed loudly but briefly before humming in response.
Frick. That’s sort of terrifying.
“Alright, um… Hoseok, truth or dare?”
The kiela’s spy danced his hand over his tucked away blades and after a few seconds of thinking he replied, “Dare.”
Mingi looked into the fire as if searching for inspiration, then suddenly snapped his fingers and announced, “Choose someone in the group to spank you.”
You brought a hand up to cover your mouth as you saw Hobi’s eyes flicker to Yoongi for a split-second before blurting out, “Kookie!”
You couldn’t conceal your laughter anymore, though, when a look of pure regret overtook his features afterwards.
Jungkook stood up with an evil glint in his eyes while cracking his knuckles, and you heard Namjoon whisper his sorrows for Hobi’s ass. You watched Jungkook rub his hands together as Hobi reluctantly got to his feet, turned around, and braced his hands on his knees. You could literally see the apprehension, fear, and tension coursing through him, making you laugh again.
But your laughter died when a powerful, loud smack reverberated into the air.
Ho-Holy shit. He just flat-out destroyed Hobi’s ass.
Said Saeni collapsed to the ground, clutching his butt cheeks as Jungkook breathed out easily and returned to his seat. The green-eyed male caught your look of horror and assured you that he didn’t actually hit him that hard.
“Hyung is just being dramatic.”
“I don’t know Coco. That looked fucking rough to me.”
His eyes darkened and he leaned in closer to murmur, “If that’s your version of rough, you don’t want to see mine.”
Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck.
His intense gaze bore into you for a couple more moments before he pulled back and reset his expression, leaving you gawking at him. Not to mention, a little turned on too.
What the hell is he doing to me?
You did your best to ignore Jungkook and the dirty thoughts he caused you to have as Hobi finally settled down and let his light brown eyes pass over the group. He paused on Tae, who straightened at the possibility of it being his turn.
“Tae, truth or-”
“Truth!”
You grinned and shook your head fondly at his eagerness. Looking back at Hobi, you saw him exchange a silent conversation with Yoongi and nod subtly. The spy’s eyes flashed with mischief and you pursed your lips together as you wondered what that was all about.
Hobi cleared his throat before folding his hands together and addressing Tae. “You and Y/N are really close… would you ever consider dating her?”
You let out a confused hum as your eyebrows shot up. On the opposite side of the fire, Namjoon and Jin mentioned their agreement that the two of us did get along very well at his question.
What the? Why would he ask that? He knows Tae and I are just friends.
Beside you, you heard Jungkook’s breathing slow down and you glanced at him. He looked entirely normal, well, except for how he was sending a piercing glare at his blue-eyed brother.
Tae, giving a relaxed shake of his head, denied he would date you and then blew a kiss your way.
You stuck our tongue out at him but sent him a kiss back while giggling.
“Okay, now I get to pick!” Tae proclaimed while showcasing his boxy grin. “Joon hyung!”
“Dare,” the yellow-eyed Saeni said with a sigh.
Tae thought long and hard, then began searching the ground before picking something up and holding it proudly above his head. “You must wear this as a mustache until your next turn!”
It was a twig.
You all silently shook with laughter as Namjoon trudged over to grab the twig and position it above his top lip. He had to pucker a bit to make sure it didn’t fall, and you had to admit that he looked but insanely cute and extremely funny.
As he sat down slowly to make sure the twig didn’t become dislodged, he caught Jungkook’s eye.
“Dare,” Jungkook said immediately.
“Of course. Um…” Namjoon’s yellow eyes darted around, looking for inspiration. “Aish, I’m bad at this stuff. Um… jump over the fire? While holding my mace over your head?”
Jungkook once again rose to his feet while scoffing. “This will be too easy, hyung.”
“Easy!? That thing weighs a ton!” You said bewildered at his unconcerned tone.
“Nah, it’s basically nothing for him, just watch,” Tae told you as he cradled his face between his palms.
You knew how strong Jungkook was, but you were still a little skeptical it would be nothing. But your doubts were quickly proven wrong as Namjoon held his heavy weapon out to Jungkook, who grabbed it with one hand without so much as a grunt. The green-eyed male shifted so the mace was in both his hands then easily hefted it over his head and leapt over the fire. Landing softly, he rolled his eyes and returned the weapon to its owner as you gawked at how nonchalant he was acting.
“See?” Tae addressed you while your shocked gaze followed Jungkook. “Nothing.”
You inhaled deeply through your nose, still trying to wrap your head around how Jungkook just did that without even a gasp as the male sat back down and smirked at you.
“Sweetheart, it’s your turn.”
To what? Get lugged over your head like sack of rice?
Oh, no… the game.
“Um…”
What will bring the least amount of damage? Probably a dare, so I shouldn’t pick truth.
Without meaning to, you said “truth” out loud and you blanched at your mistake. “Wait, no! I mean-”
His smirk transformed into a grin, but not one that settled your nerves. “Nope. Sorry, but you already said it, it’s locked it.”
Shit. Stupid stupid stupid.
Jungkook shifted closer to you, making your breath hitch.
“You never did say what your favorite sex position was, so now’s the time.”
All the air in your lungs disappeared as you stared at him, wondering if he was being serious as Yoongi, Hobi, and Tae erupted into rowdy laughter. The remaining Saeni had looked at you two in complete confusion, obviously not understanding where the question came from.
I am not telling him that!
“Come on, sweetheart, I’m waiting.” He teased as his cocky expression expanded. “It’s either tell me or take the shirt off.”
You usually didn’t give a shit about being shirtless in front of anyone. Like, if you still had a bra on, then what did it matter? But for some reason, you found yourself not wanting to remove your shirt.
Fucking hell, I guess I have to then…
You closed your eyes and hid yourself behind your hadns before mumbling, “Doggystyle.”
You didn’t bother speaking up because you knew all of them would be able to hear you clear as day. The three laughing Saeni grew even more unruly at your answer, so you buried your head in your arms to hide your flushing face. You stayed that way, refusing to lift your head, until they calmed down. Then, you raised your head, and against your better judgement, allowed yourself to glance at Jungkook. You stilled as you realized he was staring at you. Not doing anything. Not saying anything. Just staring. With a clenched jaw and hazy green eyes.
It made you uneasy… in a good way.
Stop it! He’s probably staring because he thinks that was a vanilla answer, not because he’s imagining fucking you like you want him to. Ah, shit… don’t think of him fucking into you from behind.
But, of course, your mind didn’t want to listen to reason. Thoughts of the strong male wrecking you, no, ruining you from behind began invading your head. You imagined the symphony of grunts, whimpers, and slapping of skin on skin. The way he would command your body to his pleasure. Hoe utterly rough he would handle you.
Stop it! Um… wrinkly, old balls! Smudging your nail polish! Eating bad Mexican food! Bad things! Yucky things!
With a shaky breath, you squeezed your hands into fists and averted your eyes. Taking another deep breath, you collected yourself and continued the game as you tried not to focus on the weight of Jungkook’s eyes still boring into your profile.
The sun had almost gone to sleep for the day, just a small sliver of light was still visible in the distance. You trained your eyes on the colorful sunset, observing as the pastels slowly darkened into the night sky. You smiled at its beauty while listening to the crackling of the fire. You were so transfixed, you didn’t even realize Yoongi had been calling your name until Tae waved a hand in front of your eyes. Jumping a bit, you brought your attention back to the game that was still going strong.
Not a whole lot has happened, besides Namjoon attempting a full split (he did not succeed and was still complaining about a pulled groin), Tae admitting that he was the person who lost Hobi’s favorite dagger a year ago (the spy once again lived up to his NSFW outfit with the bloodcurdling glower he sent Tae’s way), Jin being dared to let you cook one meal entirely by yourself (the male took one look at you before yanking his shirt over his head), and other dumb, reckless, and funny things.
Blinking rapidly, you met Yoongi’s eyes and sighed internally when you saw the playfulness lurking behind them.
Not wanting to even consider the type of shit he would have you reveal if you picked truth, you ultimately decided to go with dare for this round.
He glanced at Tae and Hobi, which made your palms sweat, before looking straight into your eyes. “Mingi’s lap seems a little lonely over there, so you have to sit on it until your next turn.”
Oh… that’s not that bad. I thought it would be giving Jungkook a lap dance or something. Whew.
Meeting Mingi’s hazel gaze, you shrugged at each other, then heaved yourself to your feet and walked over to the guard, who stretched his legs out in front of him.
“Hello, my good sir.” You greeted him verbally with a laugh before gently easing yourself down onto his lap.
“Hell there, Y/N.” Mingi laughed too while leaning back on his hands to balance himself.
Once you were positioned successfully and somewhat comfortably on the male’s lap, you looked over to give Yoongi a “so what?” face, but found his gaze focused somewhere else. He snickered to Hobi and had a knowing smile teasing his lips. Furrowing your brows, you turned to see what he was looking at.
Jungkook.
The burgundy head was glaring into the fire. His entire body was stiff, his hand edging down toward his dagger, and you could see his chest rising and falling heavily with his breaths. After looking at him in concern for a few seconds, he lifted his head to look directly at you with heated eyes. You were taken back by how aggravated he appeared, but before you could say anything, he brought his eyes back to the fire.
The heck is his problem?
“You good, Kook?” You heard Yoongi ask in a not-so-innocent tone.
The youngest member of the kiela didn’t respond, but you saw his jaw shift in annoyance.
Well, he obviously doesn’t want to disclose what his problem is, so looks like I’ll ask when his panties aren’t in a twist.
And so, the game continued, though you kept sneaking glances at Jungkook as others answered their truths or completed their dares. Not once did he meet your eyes. And he only really moved or spoke when he had to.
You had to admit it was bothering you.
Then, it was your turn once more and Jin asked you if you regret coming to Illain. When Jin concluded his question, Jungkook finally brought his eyes back to you. As if he actually wanted to hear your answer. You flinched a bit when you thought you saw a flash of worry appear on his face, but it was gone so quickly you weren’t sure if it had even been there to begin with. By now, the sunlight was completely gone and only the fire and moon provided light so it could have just been the flickering orange flames playing tricks on you.
Tearing your gaze away from Jungkook’s face, you addressed Jin and truthfully told him that you were really happy to be in the new world. That you were glad to have met everyone and now call them your friends.
All the Saeni smiled at your answer, even Jungkook’s mouth tilted up slightly, and they were grateful you felt that way even though the journey had been quite crazy and violent.
You beamed back at everyone and with a pat to Mingi’s knee, rose from his lap and trudged back to your original spot. Through, as you left the guard behind and walked past the fire, you shivered at how chilly it had gotten. Without realizing it, Mingi had been keeping you toasty and your backside was already missing it.
As you squatted then let your butt fall to the cool ground, you wiggled your fingers at Tae. But when the breeze picked up, you shivered and wrapped your arms around your middle.
Noting your state, Jungkook sighed and shifted a it before leaning over to poke your thigh. “C’mere.”
Peeking over at him, you saw he was inviting you to sit between his legs.
Well, looks like someone is finally over his random temper tantrum.
As confused as you were regarding his attitude, you couldn’t help but be tempted by his offer. It would be so warm and cozy. Not to mention, you would be close to him. Like really close.
Your decision was ultimately made by another cold gust of air attacking your body. With a nod, you crawled over to Jungkook and positioned yourself between his legs. You hummed as his body immediately protected you from the wind and his warmth fought off the chill. Settling into your new spot, you gasped when his hands found purchase at your waist and he dragged you backwards into his chest. Then, he hugged you close and placed his chin on the junction of your shoulder and neck. Flinching a bit as his hot breath hit your bare skin, you forced yourself to relax and ease against him although you were screaming on the inside. His intoxicating scent began floating around you as you rested your hands on his arms and leaned into him.
“Better?” He murmured against your neck.
You nodded and whispered a thanks while your heart threatened to leap out of your chest.
Satisfied you were warm, he then reminded you that you needed to ask someone truth or dare.
“Oh, r-right…” You caught Yoongi and Hobi smiling slyly at you and you narrowed your eyes at them. “Hobi.”
The white-haired male clapped his hands together and said, “I choose dare, little scorja.”
Careful not to bump into Jungkook, you tilted your head to the side and gauged the distance between him and Yoongi versus him and Namjoon and chortled when you saw what you were hoping for. “I dare you to hold hands with the person closest to you for the remainder of the game. You can only let go if you or the other person need to do so for a dare.”
Both his and Yoongi’s eyes widened comically as they looked between them and realized they would have to hold hands. There was no fighting it either because their hips were basically touching from how close they sat to each other. It was your turn to snicker at their expressions and how they started fidgeting. Slowly and without looking at each other, they intertwined their hands as a faint blush dusted both their cheeks. Cooing internally, you smirked and basked in their cuteness.
The game went on after that. Mingi took his shirt off because he refused to steal a piece of rubble from the temple (you had to admit that he had a very nice body, but it was nothing compared to the one holding you), Tae ate a weird looking bug (he gagged and you thought he was going to lose it, but he made you proud by holding on and swallowing the creature), and Namjoon confessed he broke their instructor’s prized sword during their trainee days (apparently, the instructor had loved the weapon dearly and cried for weeks when he found the blade shattered one day).
Then, Jin asked Jungkook who he would have sex with if he could choose anyone in the world. Your heart spasmed at the questioned and you held your breath while waiting for Jungkook’s answer.
Fuck, you wanted him to say it was you. But you knew he wouldn’t. It would probably be some girl he’s trained with or someone he’s seen in passing that caught his eye. Your ears were filled with the snapping of burning wood as the male stayed silent and debated his answer. Sadness cascaded into you as you realized he was most likely thinking of all the beautiful Saeni he’s encountered in his lifetime; filtering them out until one gorgeous, sexy female remained.
As your chest tightened and you fought to keep your face impassive, Jungkook suddenly removed his arms from around you. Preparing yourself to hear some other girl’s name, you inhaled sharply when his arms snuck around you and pulled you against him once more. With a jolt, you realized…
He.
Took.
Off.
His.
Shirt.
And was no holding you against his bare chest. You felt heat flood to your face, and you tried to control your breathing as he dropped his chin onto your shoulder again. Peeking to the sides, you saw Tae squeezing his lips together while looking at you with wide blue eyes and waggling brows. On the other side, Hobi and Yoongi, hands still waffled, were chuckling at you quietly. Namjoon and Jin, bless their oblivious hearts, didn’t seem to notice your internal screeching. The final Saeni just raised a single eyebrow amusedly at you.
Humming contently and adjusting his grip on you so that you were tucked even further against him, Jungkook called out Yoongi’s name to proceed with the game.
And yet again, you all continued playing. You were surprised everyone was still participating, but you figured it was because there really wasn’t anything better to do while waiting for Jimin to unlock the draeva.
You had your turn again, which included Mingi asking how you met Jimin and why you tagged along to Illain. You fondly retold the story of a little Jimin trying to scare you with a spider and you consequently punching him with your tiny fist. Then, you shrugged and explained how he was your best friend and there was no way you were going to let him go on an adventure like this alone.
Jungkook laughed in your ear as you spoke and when you finished, he whispered, “Such a feisty little human.”
You shivered at his breath dancing along your skin but managed to retort in a teasing tone, “Such an annoying little shit.”
Then, you asked Tae about what eye color he wished he could change to (he firmly said he wouldn’t change it because he likes his blue), and he won’t on to challenge Namjoon to a dare. You sort of zoned out after that, leaning your head back onto Jungkook’s shoulder and looking up at the twinkling stars. The smoke from the fire swirled up and partially obstructed your view, but the white-grey wisps just added to the enchanting sight above you.
You inhaled the sweet air and scene of flowers and metal, listened to the sound of rustling leaves and crackling fire, absorbed the soft vibrations of Jungkook’s heartbeat, and sighed up at the sky. “It’s so pretty.”
You felt Jungkook’s head shift and he softly agreed, “Yeah… really pretty.”
The abrupt shout of Jungkook’s name by Hobi brought your eyes back to the Saeni and you saw him draw a knife out to play with.
The male behind you let out a groan and he mumbled,” For Exia’s sake, this game never ends.”
“Truth or dare?” Hobi asked his youngest brother as he twirled his knife in his hand.
Jungkook chose dare, making Hobi smile at his blade.
“I dare you to kiss one of the females here.”
You felt Jungkook stiffen just as you did at Hobi’s words. The older Saeni winked at you subtly and your mind began losing it.
All the various possibilities ran through your head, but you knew all of them would suck. Sure, you wanted Jungkook to kiss you, but… not if it was because he had to. Not if it didn’t mean anything to him. And if he didn’t kiss you then he would kiss Jiae or Chungha. You swallowed as you thought of his lips against someone else’s. Biting your bottom lip, you looked down.
And if he refuses the dare and takes something off, then he’s still rejecting me. Fuck, Hobi… what were you thinking?
“Hurry up, Kook!” Namjoon joked. “We don’t have all night.”
Jungkook grumbled while removing his arms from your middle and standing up, allowing the heat that cocooned you to slowly evaporate. With a smirk directed at nobody in particular, he began walking off into the trees toward the three people not a part of your game. Leaving you cold and alone.
Tucking in your knees, you nodded to yourself and wrapped your own arms around your body as Tae, Yoongi, and Hobi all looked at you in concern. Even Mingi frowned in your direction.
Of course, he’s gonna kiss one of the other girls. Probably Chungha since Jiae is with Jimin. And I’m not surprised he didn’t take off something. His competitive ego had already been wounded when he took his shirt off earlier.
You sniffled and blinked a few times as you scolded yourself for getting upset.
“Y-Y/N…” Hobi quietly said in a pained voice. “I… I didn’t think he-”
You sighed pitifully and looked over to the Saeni and forced a smile. “There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
“Little scorja…?” Tae reached out and gently placed a hand on your shoulder.
“What?” You asked and laughed in a weak manner. “He can do whatever he wants.”
“Are you okay? What’s wrong?” Jin inquired, not understanding what was happening.
Not understanding that disappointment was crashing you over and filling your heart.
Before you could answer, Jungkook came strutting back to the group with a smug expression on his face. You averted your eyes while the three Saeni who knew of your crush glared at him.
The burgundy-haired male stopped, questioning why they were looking at him like that when he completed the dare. But they said nothing to explain, not wanting you to feel any worse.
“Who?” asked Namjoon.
Jungkook cleared his throat before walking around the fire. “Ch-Chungha.”
You sucked in a breath as he sat down behind you and caged you in with his legs again.
The audacity of this fucker!
But you couldn’t bring yourself to stay mad. You were just… sad and hurt and wondering why you always had to like the guys that never showed a speck on interest in you. Maybe you were cursed. Or maybe you were subconsciously addicted to the ache it caused in your heart.
Jungkook didn’t wrap his arms around you again, thankfully. Instead, he leaned back on his hands. Fuck, all you wanted to do was get away from him and let Tae hold you. But you couldn’t. It would look weird and suspicious if you got up and left his leggy embrace now, so you just sat there in discomfort. Shrinking yourself as much as possible, you tried to allow only the barest amounts of your body to touch him.
Unaware of the heaviness inside your chest and the small feeling crowding in your mind, Jungkook smack his lips together once before calling Tae’s name to continue the shitty game.
The next morning you were finishing up your training session with fatigued energy. You had barely slept a wink last night. Not with Jungkook sleeping peacefully next to you as if he hadn’t just stomped your heart into a pulpy mess. After tossing and turning for several hours and resisting the urge to look at the snoozing burgundy head beside you, you had given up and just stared at the stars and moon blankly.
You had remained that way, basically motionless and letting your feelings eat away at you, until you somehow fell asleep. When Tae woke you up a couple hours later, he informed you that Jungkook asked Yoongi to train you today since he wanted to get some of his own training in with the kiela. You had breathed out a relieved sigh and nodded since that meant you didn’t have to look at or deal with Jungkook until later.
But that didn’t mean you were entirely focused or particularly spritely during training.
Fortunately, Yoongi seemed to understand and didn’t berate you for your poor performance. You were also grateful he didn’t ask how you were doing since you weren’t in the mood to talk about it. Instead, he just did his best to distract you with training and keep your mind preoccupied for a short while.
He even ended the session a bit early, telling you to go wash up in the creek and try to get some rest before Jimin began tackling the draeva again. With a tiny, tired smile, you thanked him and dropped your bow and quiver off with the rest of your stuff before grabbing the towel you had stuffed in your backpack. Throwing it over your shoulder, you made your way through the foliage toward the creek.
Muttering to yourself about dumb boys and dumb feelings, you brushed past the small, leafy limbs and shuffled through the shrubs. The sound of soft rapids began to reach your ears and you groaned in pleasure at the thought of cleaning the dirt off your skin.
The calming sound of flowing water grew louder and louder, and you smiled to yourself as you ducked under and around the last set of branches before the creek beach. Though it turned into a frown as you saw a shirtless Jungkook bending down to retrieve his shirt from a rock.
One morning… is one morning without him too much to ask?
You stilled as he straightened, showcasing the hard ridges of his muscular back as well as the rings of his draeva mark. Water dripped off the wet strands of his hair, beaded on his skin, and trailed down the curve of his spine. Your eyes followed the drops’ descent to his slim waist until they reached the waistband of his pants, but then your eyes went even further and snuck a look at his round, firm booty. Continuing down, you took in the bulging outline of his thighs and the-
Oh shit, he’s turning around! Act casual!
You went to move your hands behind your back, then brought them to your front, then clasped them together, then tried crossing them all in a span of a second. None of them felt normal so you just awkwardly hung them at your sides as your eyes went wide with panic and he fully turned around.
Your plan had been to gruff out a simple hello and walk past him.
Unsurprisingly, that all flew out the goddamn window as soon as you were presented with the snack that was Jeon Jungkook’s abdominal muscles. You swallowed hard as you tried to peel your eyes away from his lean torso and his drool-worthy v line.
You finally managed to bring your gaze up to his face and mentally cursed when you saw him smirking at you.
“Like what you see, sweetheart?”
The nickname made you blood boil and you made your eyes harden while anchoring your arms across your chest.
“For Exia’s sake, are you mad at me or something?” He rolled his green eyes and went to tug his shirt n over his head but paused and suddenly looked at you seriously. “Did hyung do something to you at training?”
“Mr. Sparkle Hands?” You scoffed and began marching forward. “No. He didn’t do anything.”
He pulled his shirt on all the way. “Okay, well why are you so grouchy?”
Now just a couple of feet away from the male, you raised your hand and poked him forcefully. “I am not grouchy. Or mad. Why would I be mad? There’s nothing to be mad about.”
He frowned at you jabbing your finger into him. “Alright, so you’re definitely mad, and I presume at me, but wha-” He stopped as he realized something, then chuckled and smirked again. “Oh my goddess, don’t tell me you’re jealous.”
I want to punch him so fucking badly in his perfect fucking face.
“Why the hell would I be jealous?” You lifted your chin and did your best to not give away your actual feelings.
Yes. I’m fucking jealous. And hurt. And embarrassed. And a whole lot of other shit.
He stepped closer to you and lowly said, “Because I said I kissed Chungha last night.”
You unwillingly winced slightly, and you moved away from him as your eyes began to sting.
Inhaling, you looked past him at the flowing creek. “So?”
Maybe if you just ignored him, he would leave and let you mask your tears with creek water in peace.
“Sweetheart.”
Just ignore him and he’ll leave.
“Look at me.”
Ignore him and he’ll leave. Ignore him and he’ll leave. Ignore him and he’ll leave.
“Please.”
You still didn’t, so he took matters into his own hands. Literally.
Reaching out, he grabbed your chin and forced you to face him. He no longer had that cocky grin on his face, but was looking at you with soft, worried eyes.
You stared at him, tired and borderline limp. You didn’t have the energy to fight him anymore.
Gently, he tucked some of your hair behind your ear with his free hand before holding the side of your face. His thumb caressed your cheek and you let him. You shouldn’t have, but you did.
“I didn’t kiss her.” He gazed at you with sincerity.
Huh?
Seeing your confusion, he continued. “I only said I did. I didn’t want hyungs thinking I bitched out again, so I took off my sock, put my shoe back on, and walked back. That’s it.”
I’m sorry, WHAT!?
You shoved him away, yelling and cursing his ridiculous, unbelievable ego. He looked at you in shock as you put your palms against his firm chest and pushed him again. And again. And again.
This motherfucker hurts me and now tells me that pain was because his fucking ego was too sensitive to not do a dare!?
“You’re the biggest, most annoying, frustrating, immature… jackass I’ve ever met in my life! AND I’VE MET A LOT OF JACKASSES!”
As you barely controlled yourself not to wring the living daylights out of him, you noticed his head jerk to the side suddenly. His silver earrings flashed in the morning light. Then, he had the nerve to shush you.
Maybe, a nice, early morning strangulation won’t be a bad way to start the day.
Fuming, you clenched your hands and was about to start going off again, but he whipped his head back to you in alarm and quickly smacked a hand over your mouth while gripping your upper arm in his other. You struggled against him and proceeded to scream vulgarities at him through his palm.
“Y/N. Shut. Up,” he whispered in a dark, serious tone.
And shut up you did. You glared at him with mad, yet perplexed eyes as you breathed heavily into his hand.
He held your gaze as his head tilted to the side once more. As if he was listening for something.
Out of the corner of your eyes, you saw something shine brightly and briefly and you yelped as Jungkook forcefully yanked you down to the ground. You hit the rocky beach with a harsh grunt and above your heads, you glimpsed a decently sized dagger fly though the air where your bodies had just been. You strained your neck to follow its path and watched as it clattered against a lone rock and ricocheted out of sight.
What the fuck!?
Next, came a small party of three unknown Saeni charging through the trees at you from the opposite side of the creek. Cursing, Jungkook rolled into a crouch while throwing a rock at one of them. The projectile hit the male dead in the face, causing him to fall to the side. Instinctively, you also rose to a crouch and reached over your shoulder for an arrow but froze when you remembered you left your bow and quiver at camp.
Shit.
You picked up a rock too, and readied to throw it, but realized it was completely unnecessary. Jungkook had already snapped the neck of the first Saeni who reached him, his teeth gritted in anger as he did so. As the now dead female collapsed, he snatched up the knife at her waist and spun once before throwing it at the final opponent. The blade rotated once in the air and embedded itself into the skull of its target.
Whistling at his display of abilities, you tossed the rock aside and fully stood. “Are they-”
He nodded. “Draikensu.”
Double shit.
He leaned down to wrench out the blade from the Saeni’s face, blood erupting out and drenching the draikensu’s head once it was removed. With a clenched jaw, he made his way over to the male he had hit with a rock, but before Jungkook was able to reach him, more draikensu began pouring out from the tree line across from you.
“Oh, fuck. Run!” He swiveled and began coming back to you as he yelled. “Go! Go! Go!”
With a curse, you turned and began sprinting.
The two of you crashed through the forest. Branches whipping against your face, thorns scratching against your skin and clothes, and frenzied energy thrumming through your veins. Jungkook was behind you, urging you to move faster as arrows began thumping into trees and whistling past your heads. Sucking in air, you did just that. You ran and ran and ran. Away from the draikensu. Toward camp and your weapons. Into the rising sun and what you were sure would be a bloody, death-bringing day.

Under Arrest
Yeye another fic! This has been waiting as long as Good Night has, and I finally got it out! It’s kinda messy but I think I like it like that :3
Set directly after Good Night.
Song used! Cause I gotta remember to link the song!
Shadow People AU by the gentle @mine-sara-sp
TW: nightmare mention, Demise mention
but this fic is very much light and funny!
Someone is under arrest for not resting crimes
---------
knockknockTHUNKknockknockknockTHUNKTHUNKkno-
"Geez! Who's makin' that racket! I'm tryin to sleep 'ere!"
Bdubs was quickly shushed by his friends around him, eyes flickering over to check on Wels. Chagrined, Bdubs quickly quieted down. “Could someone at least get whoever it is to stop?” he stage-whispered.
“That might be a problem Bubbles.”
Several sets of eyes followed the direction that Keralis was pointing in, cringing backwards slightly when they realised who the problem was. More accurately, two someones.
knockTHUNKTHUNKknockknockknockTHU-
“I’m not dealing with that man, I may fear no hermit, but those things scare me.” The cyborg- creeper shuddered lightly. “Theys unnatural.”
The ensuing soft scuffle was interrupted when Cub stood up with a sigh, Brushing himself down, the hermit carefully maneuvered his way over to the window, avoiding sprawled out arms and legs. Reaching the window, he inspected it, quickly finding that the central section could swing outwards. The knockers had withdrawn their hands, waiting impatiently for Cub to open the window.
Taking a deep breath, he unhooked the latch, quickly shoving the upper half of his body out the window to the surprised shouts of his friends. Crossing his arms in an attempt to look less afraid then he felt, Cub addressed the impatiently bouncing duo outside. "Can’t you two be quieter?"
“W̏ͭ̒a̘͉̅ͣ̚n̗̱̑͛͊ț̲̝̮͔̎ͬ ̇̈́̃́̈ͤW͈̹͙̟͙͈e̼̳͕̜̼̱͓l̜͕s͉̙̞̮͍̦͍̉̃̓̈́!̩̱͚͇̏” “W͎̼̯̮̺̞̬h̖͈͔̪͆̅ͭ͒̈́̊ệ̯͚̫͕ͮ͐r̮̘͊e͎̳̙̲̘̘͌̀̍͗?͖̣̼̠̱͎̻”
Cub flapped his hands at them gently, shushing them. “He’s sleeping. He had a rough night, so if you want to be let in, quiet down, got it?”
The two shadows tilted their heads gently, mirrored yet opposite in direction, bumping their heads together in the process. “Ṟ̙ö̬̩̜̭̭́ͭ̾ͅu͙̠̤̅̏ͧg̑̋ḧ̖̙̝ͫ ͓̟̓̎̌n͆i̒̂g̈̈h͔̭̜͊̅͗ͅt̠̩?͐̑ͧ” “K͊͊͊nͬ̾i̼̥̝͍̼̜̎̆ͮ̃ġ̥̻͈̹h̬̼̦̻͙̓ͧ̎t̍ ͓̙̣͇̺̪̣̚tͥi͎̿r͙e̙͖̝d̒?͛”
“Yes, and if you keep up your noise he’s going to wake up and feel bad.” Cub hissed at them. “Whatever you want can wait this one time, can’t it?”
The two seemed to consider, twittering lightly at each other, before turning to face him in sync, giving him a singular clear chirp. Cub shuddered, he will never understand how Wels figured out how to deal with them calmly. Bracing his arms against the window frame in preparation to head back inside, a sudden realisation hit him. “And no murder. Everyone will scream, our communicators will make noise, he’s gonna wake up. Got it?”
The shadows whined pitifully at him, but nodded their heads at his stern glare. Satisfied, Cub finally popped himself back inside, turning to face everyone who was awake. “Guys, don’t panic.” he hurriedly said.
And just in time too, as the vexdows materialised into the room. Predictably, there was the general noise of panic and fear, although uncharacteristically hushed. Avarice and Keloid didn’t quite seem to care, speedily pinpointing where Wels lay and leaping over hermits to loom over Biffa and Jevin. The two were the only ones who were unafraid, if only because they were currently highly protective over Wels. “Touch him and we will end you,” Biffa hissed, Jevin nodding furiously beside him.
To their surprise, the two shadows didn’t become violent or angry, instead finding a space to sit down, keeping a gentle eye on Wels. “Uh.”
The vexed shadows mutely hissed at them. “S̺̗l̫̬̫̻̮̻͚̒ͭ̽̑ē̳̭̺͒͛͒̉̚e̲͕̯̓ͦ̆͗͂p͖̮̱̖͙̀î̞͖͂͆̅̾͂n͇ͨ̏͑g̤̜̋ͤ̆!̝̫̟̪̊̎̊͗ͧ̊” Avarice whisper-shouted, Keloid nodding rapidly beside them.
Biffa and Jevin gawked at them, sharing a look. This was… new. Normally, the vexed shadows were a lot more aggressive. They looked down at their still sleeping friend, tear tracks dried on his face. What had Wels done to make them so tame?
Jevin nudged Biffa lightly. “Might as well get some more sleep, yeah?” he whispered.
Biffa side-eyed the shadows cautiously. “You get some more sleep. I don’t quite trust them.” he whispered back.
Jevin shrugged, gently easing himself back into the mess of blankets and pillows, jostling Wels slightly. The knight grumbled in his sleep, turning to latch onto Jevin’s hoodie and snuggle into it. Smiling softly, Jevin gently put his arms around Wels before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
Biffa smiled down at his two friends being cute, before a noise caused his head to snap back to the vexed shadows sat opposite. He pointed two fingers at his head before turning them sharply to point at the two shadows. “I’ve got my eye on you.”
Keloid perked up, shoving three of their arms into some of Avarice’s tiny faces before pointing them at Biffa. “Eͣẙ͗̉e͗ͧ ̠͈̲̣͐̀̒o̲̙̮̎n̍ ̔̐͛y͌o̼̟̟̓̉u̻͍!̀̽̑” they giggled, Avarice quickly shoving a large hand into their face to muffle their over-excited laughter.
Biffa blinked. On one hand, that was adorable, in the way that toddlers were. On the other hand, the way they said that was very disturbing. Casting his gaze around the room, he saw that while the hermits had found their own clusters to chat amongst, at least one person in each group was looking over their shoulder, monitoring the shadows who were now playing with each others’ hands. Sighing, he leaned against the wall, resigned to watching Avarice and Keloid.
-----------------
Wels woke slowly, blinking the sleep from his eyes. Dimly, he realised that he hadn’t woken from a nightmare this time, and silently gave thanks. He smooshed his face further into the fabric before him, too comfortable to really move.
“Hey, Wels, you awake?” A hand placed itself on his shoulder, tilting his body slightly. He brushed it aside, turning back into the warm darkness. Muffled laughter issued from above him. “Yep, he’s awake alright.”
Another hand touched his arm as the fabric surface he was cuddled against pulled away, shaking him lightly. “Come on Wels, wake up. It's almost midday and you have visitors.” said another voice.
Wels sighed internally. Guess he did have to get up. Releasing the comfortable fabric, he pushed himself up into a sitting position, stretching his arms above his head. “What is it, what is it,” he grumbled, eyes still refusing to open. He could hear Jevin giggle next to him. “Uh, might wanna open your eyes Wels.”
Grumbling, he opened his eyes. And blinked. "Who let them in here? They're going to steal all the diamonds." He whispered, pointing at the two shadows who were still obliviously toying with their hands.
Cub raised his hand. "I did, and don't worry, we've been keeping an eye on them this whole time, no way they stole any diamonds."
Wels dragged a hand down his face, quickly blinking the sleep from his eyes. "Oh you guys have no clue," he muttered. Turning, he called out to the shadows. "Keloid! Avarice!"
Their heads snapped upwards lightning fast, wide unnatural grins only growing upon seeing the knight awake. "Wͧ̍ͫ͑e̒l̎ͤs!̒̒” “̞̭̲͚̩́̈́̒ͯͨẄ́ḛ̗̭̞̫̄l̾ͩsͦ!̞̅͒” “̭̗͉͔̻̤̰̋̅ͪͦW̖̰̤̊̿ͥe̍́l̗̱͈̫̑̔sͤ!ͣͣ” “̝̦̣̓͗ͧ̉Wͭë̘̹̒͆̿̒ls̽ͭ!̆ͬͤ" they crowed, bouncing on the spot, clearly wanting to crowd around Wels but limited by the lack of space around them.
Wels made a motion like pushing down air with one hand, laughing at their antics. "Calm down, calm down, I'm awake. Thank you for waiting until I woke up this time." The shadows beamed at the praise. Wels quickly moved on before they could get too rowdy. "Now before we get to why you're here…" His gaze sharpened as he glared at the vexed shadows. "Give the diamonds back. I know you have them."
Avarice leaned back slightly, face the picture of innocence. Behind it, Keloid averted their eyes, whistling a bird's tune. "Ẇ͗h͔͚͆̂a͕͙̟̫ͩ̈́t͇̣̟̠̺ ̄ͥs̭̾̽ͫ͑h͚͍̠͉̱̰̣i̓͂̿ṉ̰ͦí̟̬̞̼͎̊̌̑e̼̮̜̗̖̱ͧ̃s͙̪̭̪̞?̂ͣ"
Wels narrowed his eyes at them, unconvinced by their act. "Stop stalling, you know what you've done. You two are never able to sit still unless you have diamonds. Give it back to them."
The shadows whined, but quickly crumbled under Wels' glare. Keloid reached behind it's back and pulled out 10 diamonds, gently placing them on one of Avarice's floating blue hands. The hand floated across the room, stopping to dump the diamonds into a confused Ren's lap before floating back. "Wait a minute…" Ren leaned back, shuffling through his pockets and finding them empty. He whirled back around to point at the smug looking vex shadows, incredulous. "How did you guys do that? Doc is the most observant man I know!"
Wels smirked knowingly. "They have their ways." The shadows cackled proudly at those words, adding an ominous layer to his words. Wels turned back to face Avarice and Keloid, missing how his friends cringed at their laughter. "On to business. Why are you two here? Paladin hasn't died again right?"
The two shook their heads, their bodies moving along with it. There was some mild commotion as the hermits nearest the vexed shadows took cover from flailing arms and wings that he ignored. “C̩̯̩aͥ̋m̼͙̬̰è̑̏ f̆̆ỏ͈̘͕̣̮͖̾̌̌r̻̻̗̐ ̬̫̖́͊ͯͅyͩ̋o͔̙̰ͅu̗͔̼̼͈͈̼̽!̯̖̮͓̺͓̙ͥ”
Wels raised an eyebrow, unconcerned by the disturbing phrasing of the sentence. “That’s new. Why?”
Keloid’s face conveyed the emotion of concern better than Avarice’s many laughing faces. “S̘̠͖̭̻̎̾͋ḧ́̐iͨ̏̚ny ̃ͣ̌n̰͖͚̣͂ͧ͂o̾̑t͇̯̙̠͖͕̎ͩ̆ ̑ȓ͛̊̚ͅe̔ͧ́̍ș̖͑̉tͯ̅!̊́͌ ͍̻̰̥̳̬ͦN̻e͓͌̿ͮe̍͋d̜͚͎̰̦̠͕́͊ ̀̇̚yo͋̒u̟̹̬̖̭͚̾̽ ̓͒h̟̏͛ͅeͮͮ̇l̲͕̻̮͚̣̭ṗͭ!͐”
Wels frowned in thought as he pieced together the rag-tag bits of information he was given. “So Paladin isn’t taking any breaks?” he questioned, receiving twin affirming clicks in response. “And you want me to come help you deal with it?” he guessed. Another set of affirming clicks.
Guess that settles it. Pushing back against the wall, Wels pushed himself up from the comfort of the blanket nest below him. “Alright, let me just do my morning stuff and suit up before we go.” he said, moving to step over his friends.
A pair of hands latched onto his arm, stopping him in his tracks. Instantly, the shadows began hissing aggressively, drawing the clatter of weapons being drawn. Wels sighed. He held his hand up high in a universal stop gesture, pitching his voice above the noise. “Calm down! The lot of you! Act more mature!”
All sound in the room froze, shocked by Wels' sudden outburst. Wels didn't just get angry and shout, Wels was calm and collected. The hands on his arm increased in pressure and weight for a moment, nothing he couldn't handle, and then he had two hermits hanging off of his shoulders. He tilted his head gently in acknowledgement, smiling softly. "Morning Biffa, morning Jevin, whaddya want?"
Biffa pulled himself up into a more upright position, leaning down to whisper into Wels’ ear. “Are you sure you’ll be safe going alone with them? You know they’re dangerous.” On his other shoulder, Jevin nodded in agreement, head bouncing up and down. Wels smiled softly at their concern. “Guys, I’ll be fine. This isn’t my first time and it won’t be the last. At least they asked this time instead of spiriting me away.”
“But you haven’t been sleeping lately. You’re still tired, I can feel it.”
Wels winced at the implications behind Jevin’s words, hurriedly covering it up under a confident tone. “I’ll be fine, I trust them not to harm me, they’ve come so far. Do you trust me?"
He could feel his friends flinch at his implied accusation, guilt slithering down his spine. It was a low blow, but he also knew they were all on a time limit that was as long as the Avarice and Keloid felt like, and he had probably wasted so much of it sleeping. He had to get moving now.
Thankfully, with only a quick side glance, Biffa and Jevin let him go with a nod. Shooting them a glance in thanks, he headed for the bathroom with quick steps. Stopping just inside the doorframe, he leaned out to shout, "And no murder of any kind! Anyone tries something and all of you are out of my house, with me still in it! Are we clear?"
"Yes dad!" came a clear British voice over the general chatter of agreement and twittering chirps, followed swiftly by another, gruffer voice shouting “Ok, Boomer!” Wels whipped back around. "Who said that? I just want to talk to you young man." he said in a mock-threatening voice, eliciting laughter from the crowd. He spied Mumbo, the mustached man grinning proudly, hi-fiving an equally overjoyed TFC in the back. Shaking his head in mock disappointment, Wels left the room, muttering about ‘kids these days’ and ‘no respect for their elders’, to the hooting laughter of the hermits.
Door now closed firmly behind him, Wels quickly unlatched the leather bracers from his arms, rubbing his arms. He might be used to wearing armour everywhere, but having them on 24/7 made him long for the softness of a shirt again. Absentmindedly tracing the edges of his scars, he made quick work of his armour, making sure that the chainmail undershirt covered his neck fully. Tugging lightly to ensure that everything was a snug fit, Wels pushed the door open again.
And had to duck to avoid the dirt block thrown in his direction. Offended howls and raucous laughter greeted him as he slipped back into the room. Somehow, no one had noticed his return.
And honestly, that was a blessing in disguise. Observing how the hermits had now clustered around where Avarice and Keloid had been sitting, he wondered what they could be doing as he tiptoed his way to one of the tables that had been pushed aside. Grabbing the pack he had stored inside, he scrambled up onto the table, trying to see what his friends were up to this time.
He observed his friends throwing items to each other, tools, dirt, stone, diamonds, wood all flying through the air. Diamonds were held up like bait before being thrown across the circle, the vexed shadows in the middle having no space to manoeuvre, grey-blue hands instead reaching up to grasp at the items flying by, flailing in an uncoordinated attempt. A piece of wood was snapped up between Keloid’s elbows, observed, then thrown out of the circle with a howl and a burst of laughter from the hermits. Avarice’s large hands grabbed a chunk of items from the sky. The hand floated down and opened, revealing two diamonds amidst a pile of stone and other items. They crowed in victory, quickly pocketing their winnings. From the corner of his eye, Wels saw TFC and Scar pulling out some diamonds to replenish the pool alongside more random blocks.
Sitting down cross-legged on the table, Wels rested his head on one hand and watched the group play, a small smile playing across his lips. It was rare to see this kind of sight, everyone else was always so afraid of Avarice and Keloid, which was a pity. Months of being kidnapped to resummon Paladin or for some other obscure reason had removed the fear of their unnatural looks and actions, revealing a childlike wonder beneath. Hopefully this small bubble of fun they were all having would soften the hermits to the vexed shadows.
He didn’t know how long he sat on that table, watching his friends both player and shadow play. Keralis had glanced back and seen him at some point, but instead of telling anyone he had winked at him before turning back around to throw all three of his held diamonds.
Eventually, he was caught. Keralis had glanced back at him one too many times, alerting the rest to his presence. Predictably, there was some uproar.
“How long have you been sitting there!” “Do you know how many diamonds I lost?” “We thought you would never come out of the bathroom princess!”
Cheeky grin in place, he slid off the table. “How could I resist? You guys were having so much fun I couldn’t bear to stop it. Besides,” he added, walking through the circle and standing before Avarice, reaching out to pet their arm. “This is a much more fun way to get diamonds, don’t you think?”
The small faces on its arms lit up a brighter blue as the both of them whistled in agreement, Keloid taking out the diamonds they had gathered to show Wels in excitement. “L͌̿o̠͑̈́o̓̎k̰̏̐̇!͉̱̼̽ͨ̋ L͌̿o̠͑̈́o̓̎k̰̏̐̇!͉̱̼̽ͨ̋”Keloid chirped, somehow managing to bounce despite sitting down, holding out a whole fifteen diamonds to him. Wels laughed at their pure happiness. “Yes, good job you two.”
Preening in pride, Keloid returned the diamonds to its inventory. Avarice looked out the window, then beeped in alarm. “T͒͑iͪ̎m̂̓e̘!̥̪͈̬͉͎̻ͫͤ ͭͤ͒N͊eͯ̿̄̋e̱͚̤̣ͩd̓ ̝̯̻̙̜g̏ͣ̈́ó̺̼̄ ͎̜ͨ̎ñó̓͐w̼͍̼̦̹͑͊̆!ͦͬ͆” they stressed, grabbing Wels roughly by the arm.
Wels grunted, tapping Avarice’s hand. They twittered a quick apology, relaxing its grip but keeping its hand wrapped firmly around his arm as it walked towards the window, Keloid fluttering above.
Wels turned slightly to face his concerned friends, raising an arm to wave. “Guess I’m off! Don’t worry too much about me guys, this is mostly normal! Bye!”
Turning back, he crawled through the window after Avarice, coming to stand on the roof of his mansion. Avarice had released his arm, so he tilted his head at them in question. Avarice answered with a coo, clearly expecting him to understand, then sighed when he didn’t move. Reaching over, it scooped up Wels in its arms, drawing a squeak from him. Looking up, he could see Keloid latch its six arms around Avarice, wings beating lightning-fast, and then they were in the air. Twisting around in Avarice’s hold, he looked down at the house below. Spotting some multicoloured figures below waving up at him, Wels pulled an arm free to wave back down at them.
Eventually, the house fell out of view. Twisting back, Wels settled himself within Avarice’s arms, resigned to waiting out the journey to the Hoard, wherever they had moved it to this time.
----------------------------------
The jolting landing woke Wels up. Blinking up at the stone ceiling above him, he lifted his head to look around. Keloid was nowhere to be seen, Avarice still moving down the cut-out corridors deeper into the Hoard. He leaned back to look at Avarice properly. “Hey, can you put me down? I can walk.”
Avarice glanced down at him, considering, then giving him a small rattling noise as they continued down the hall. Seeing as Avarice hadn't put him down, Wels guessed that was a no. Letting his head fall back into Avarice’s arms, he let out a small huff, watching the ceiling go past.
When the ceiling shifted from stone to smooth andesite, Wels noticed. A low whistle, and Avarice was setting him down on something soft. Blinking, he looked down, discovering a nest of pillows and blankets. He pressed down on the blanket. It was… really soft, actually. Softer than his own bed. It made him want to bury his face in it and hide for a few days. Noise from the corridor drew his attention away before he could actually go through with his thoughts.
Keloid fluttered in from the hall, holding an indignant Paladin, whose feet only just brushed the floor. His shadow was shaking their arms about, yet carefully making sure not to hit Keloid. A set of gauntlets floated behind them, still holding smelting tools. “Put me down Kel! I got commissions to finish!”
Keloid shook its head as Avarice moved to support it. “Y͚̱͉̑̀̄o͓̗üͦ ̳͉͍͍ͫ̐n̆̐o̒̃ͧt̑̉ͧͅ ͔̻͇̥r͇̜̮͂̆̄̏̇̉e̼s̓͐ͨtͤ͑!̣͔̓̾͌̓”
Paladin looked up at Avarice, “You too? Come on, I’m fine! We don’t even need rest.”
Avarice twittered at them. “Ń̎o̰̳̩͆ͥͥtͥ̆ͯ s̎ͭͦp͒̂ͪḛ̬̠͎̳̟̩n͋ͨd̝̭͔̞̞ͪͪ̈́ ̈́ͤ͂ͭ̓̽tiͬ̇m͚̭͚̥̖̹̀e̞͍̲͓̩͍͙̎̿̒̔ ̽̄̄͑͐̓̅w͛ͧ̓i̼̐̄t͍̲̤̳̿ͮͣͅh̞̩̘̥͔ͥ̾ ̳̗̃u̐ͪs͓̗ͩ͑ͯ͐?̖̞̖̤̻̼́̒̈́̀̎”
Paladin looked down guiltily. Walking them forwards, Avarice gently pushed them onto the nest, shooting Wels a knowing look. Catching onto what was going on, Wels twisted his waist, leaning over to wrap his arms around Paladin, startling his shadow. They tilted their head slightly in confusion. “Wels? What are you doing here?”
The position he was in was uncomfortable. Straining backwards, Wels pulled Paladin down next to him on the nest. The shadow flailed, disoriented. “Wha- you too Wels? Come on!” they whined. Wels didn’t respond, instead burying his face into Paladin’s side. He felt the shadow tense up, then sigh, tension bleeding out of their frame. A shifting cloth came up to cradle him in a vaguely familiar manner.
A large arm draped over them, effectively trapping them both in place. Wels could feel a presence slip in behind him, draping over his side and resting its head on his shoulder. “S͒̚ī͑̈́n͌g͛?̱̌ͅ” Keloid chirped. Avarice rumbled its agreement, the vibrations rattling down its arm. He could practically feel Paladin roll their eyes, yet when they shifted to speak to him he could hear the affection in their voice. “Got any songs to humour them? I don’t really have any right now.”
Wels thought for a moment, flipping through his mental song list before coming on the perfect song. “I sing and you do the backup?” he asked, poking Paladin in the side.
“Oh you should know dear summoner,” Paladin ribbed back. Pulling back slightly with a smile, Wels cleared his throat, letting the first words out, Paladin humming along, giving his voice an echoing quality.
“Time is an illusion that helps things make sense,
so we’re always living in the present tense.
It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends.
But you and I will always be back then.
You and I will always be back then.”
He heard Avarice and Keloid shift over them, adding soft plinking noises to their song.
“Singing will happen, happening, happened.
Will happen, happening, happened.
And we will happen again and again.
'Cause you and I will always be back then.
You and I will always be back then”
-------------------------
“So, why are they dragging you here?” Wels asked, holding back a yawn. They had been singing for a few hours now, and he was getting tired. Avarice and Keloid had gone to grab some food for him, leaving him to hold down the fort. Paladin grunted, looking away. “I haven’t been hanging out with them since the incident. Just trying to catch up on my commissions, nothing special.”
Wels propped himself up onto his elbows, staring into Paladin’s face, reading the lines of pain they didn’t quite manage to hide. He sighed, slipping back into his space besides Paladin, wrapping an arm around their chest. “You don’t have to hide from us, you know. Avarice and Keloid already noticed, and you hiding it from them is only going to make them more worried.”
Paladin twisted to look at him, surprised, “How did yo-”
He pointed at his face. “I know my face when I see it. You’re like an open book to me.”
Paladin huffed and turned around fully, a blue wing curling up to box him in. “Then you are just as open to me. You’re tired. Sleep.”
Unable to hold back his yawn, Wels snuggled into Paladin’s side. “Maybe… I will…” he muttered, drifting off.
-------------
Amazingly, he didn’t wake up to a nightmare, instead finding his shadow with two attentive shadow vex at their feet, pointing out the shininess factor of each gem. He smiled. This was nice. He could get used to this.
He didn’t leave the Hoard that day, instead staying in and learning more about how the shadow vex and his shadow interacted.
--------------
The next night, he did wake from a nightmare.
He’d clung to Paladin, sobbing, face hidden against their chestplate, unwilling to look up and see that accursed blue. The three shadows had held him, he had felt their hands and arms encircle him comfortably. Someone was rocking him, petting his head, he could hear Paladin humming a song, the song they had sung a day prior.
Eventually, he tired himself out, falling back into sleep.
No one asked him about his nightmares the next day, giving him understanding glances, and for that he was grateful.
-------------
“So, when can I leave?”
“Ǹ̳̂͒oͤ͊t͋́̂ ̑ͤͮ̚n̜̲̼̊o̲̝̞̣wͦ͒͑̑!ͤ̂͐”

Wels tucked his communicator away, giggling at his friends’ antics. Two curious chirps caught his attention, and he turned back to face the vexdows. A lightbulb went off in his head. “Could you two show me the Hoard?”

*kicks open door* kiNDERGARTEN TEACHER!TAEHYUNG THAT HAS A FAT CRUSH ON THE HOT SINGLE MOM HE SEES WHEN SHE COMES TO PICK UP HER CUTEASS KID
→ pairing: kim taehyung x reader
→ genre: kindergartenteacher!taeHYUNG aka THE FLUFFIEST FLUFF like i don’t think i’ve ever felt so SOFT in my entire life great googly moogly please prepare yourselves
→ wordcount: 3.3k
(gif isn’t mine!)
“shit shit shit shIt shit” you curse to yourself as you vEEr right into the first parking spot you see
you immediately crank the brake and unbuckle your seatbelt
“i was going to park there, asshole!” you hop out of the car to see an angry looking mother glaring at you from her minivan and you give her a sheepish smile
“i’m sorry!!!! my kid just got off from class and i can’t be late because i need to drive her to ballet and-“ you’re definitely oversharing with this stranger and she obviously doesn’t care because she rolls her eyes and flips you off before zoOming off to find another parking spot
soccer moms are so aggressive
you double check that you have everything with you and you fish your parent lanyard out of your backpack and sling it around your neck quickly as you approach the front doors
you thought that once you became a mother you would instantly become more responsible more organised more matuRe
obviously you were mistAken because you’re still late to almost everything you go to
some things never change!!!!
you hurry your way down the hallway and pick up the pace when you see the swarm of parents standing outside the classroom
as you approach the crowd you get up on your tip-toes to see if emma’s been excused yet
you accidentally bump into a couple and a bit of your coffee splashes onto their shoulders and they turn around and give you a dirty look
“oh, sorry!!!! ….fridays, am i right?” you joke and they both scowl before shuffling to stand somewhere else
oof
tough crowd
none of the parents here like u that much
which is a real shame because you think you make greAt company
you’re just,.,, there’s a big age gap between u and most of the parents here
you’re one of the younger parents in the class
actually you might be the youngest
min yoongi and his wife (you forgot her name whoOps) are pretty young but they’re still a couple years older than you
and side note their daughter is adoraBle
emma is actually friends with hwayoung so you talk to yoongi sometimes
it’s nice to talk to someone who’s around your age
he’s just veRy businessman-y so it’s difficult to joke around with him
but he’s still a nice guy!!
speaking of yoongi and hwayoung
a bright smile makes its way onto your face when you see yoongi nudging hwayoung through the crowd of people before grabbing onto her small hand
“yoongi!” yoongi looks up and he smiles politely
he’s still dressed all spic and span in his suit from work
“ah! good afternoon, y/n. hwayoung, say good afternoon to auntie.” he hums before bending down to zip up her backpack that’s just wiDe open
relatable
“good afternoon, auntie!!” she looks up at you with bright eyes
she’s sO CuTE
“hi, hwayoung-ie!” you bend down and pinch her cheek before reaching into the pocket of your coat and fishing out a little caramel “don’t tell your dad,” you joke and yoongi snorts in response
“thank u!!!!!” she snaTches it immediately and you coo before pinching her cheek again
you get back up onto your feet “you guys on your way home now?”
“mhm. is emma still available for a playdate this sunday?” yoongi swoops hwayoung off her feet and props her up onto his hip and she immediately rests her head against his shoulder
“affirmative, sir.” you salute and yoongi rolls his eyes playfully “i-“
“emma y/l/n?” you perk up when you hear emma’s name being called
“yeah, we’ll see you sunday! have a nice night!” you turn to squeeze your way into the crowd and once you make your way to the front your heart immediately starts going boom-boom because
it’s taehyung
emma’s teacher
kim taehyung is uh
whOo
putting it simply he is a very attractive man and he’s only a couple months older than you so like you’re preTTY sure this is god’s way of telling you it’s meant to be
the only time you’ve really talk to him is during the parent-teacher conference and even theN you can barely get a word in because emma’s a little chatterbox (one time she almost let it slip that ‘mommy dressed extra pretty for you!’ and you were literally about to pounce on your child in the middle of a classroom)
he’s really sweet n nice and when he smiles that boxY grin you can’t help but smile aNd he’s endearingly dorky and super charming aND funny and he’s so good with the kids and OH my god his voice is like..,., silky smooth dark chocolate.,,.,. rich caramel.,, that u want to driZZLE all over your BODY
okay no R-rated thoughts when there are children present don’t be weird
since he’s your kid’s teacher so you’re not sure if that’s even allowed
the whole parents dating teachers thing
anyways
he looks so soft today
he’s wearing a crisp button up with a pair of jeans
he obviously let the kids mess with his hair because he has a little sproUT in his hair
and you’re pretty sure you have a glasses kink because you’ve never felt this way when seeing someone with their glasses sitting on the top of their head
“hi, yeah, that’s me- i mean, that’s not me, but that’s my child- you know what i mean” you blow a strand of hair away from your face before adjusting your backpack with a sheepish grin
woW what the hell was that lol
taehyung presses his lips together to keep himself from bursting into chuckles
you’re so awkward sometimes but he supposes that’s just part of your charm
he wants to tell you you look real cute in your periwinkle sweater
and it’s endearing how the laces on your converse shoes are undone
no doubt from your frantic running down the hallway (he notices everything)
but of course he has to keep it professional because you are the parent of one of his students it doesn’t matTer that you’re the same age as him and that he’s very very very veRY attracted to you
“hi miss y/l/n.” taehyung smiles kindly before ticking next to your name on the clipboard “emma’ll be ready in a minute! we did finger-painting today so the kids are taking a little longer to wash up. how was your day?” he suddenly remembers the little ponYTAIL in his hair and he yanks the hair tie off quickly
“oh, y’know, the usual. i don’t know why i thought it’d be a good idea to keep studying after four whole years of studying.” you snort before pulling your own hair tie from your ponytail and letting your hair down
“i admire that! education is important.” taehyung hums
your hair looks so soft
it probably smells good too
o god he’s being creepy stop being creepy
“i suppose you’re right. what else happened…uh… had a really good caramel macchiato and a mediocre turkey sandwich for lunch-“
“mommy!” you snap out of your little trance when emma suddenly ziPs out of the classroom
her little backpack bounces against her back
“hi baby!” you grin and swoOp down to scoop her up into your arms
you smoosh kisses against her chubby cheek while she giggles away before you plop her back down onto the ground
it takes everything within taehyung not to mELT into the ground because even tho he sees you do that basically every day it never fails to turn him into a pile of mush IT’S SO CUTE
“we finger-painted today!” she cheers and holds her paper up for you to look at
“yeah, mr kim was just telling me-“
“that’s me, n that’s you, n that’s mr. kim!” she grins and points to the third figure in the painting and almost immediately bOTH yours and tae’s faces go bright red
you think you might actually be on fire right now (even tho this isn’t the first time this has hAPPENeD) ((ur referring to the time the class made play-doh people and emma made one of you and one of tae and the play-doh versions of you two are holding hands))
“oh! that’s, heh, uh, that’s nice! that’s so good, you did a good job, baby” you clear your throat and your eyes flicker over to taehyung
he tilts his head and offers you a meek smile
“will you put it up on the fridge when we go home?” she asks as you tuck it into her backpack for her before ziPping her bag up
“mhm…” you get back up onto your feet and dust your knees off “say g’bye to mr. kim”
“bye mr. kim!” emma turns around and hugs his legs
her face is like on the same level as his knees so he’s basically kneeing her and are u an awful mother if you kinda laughed at that
“goodbye, sweetheart!” he replies with the same level of enthusiasm as he gets down onto his knees so that he can give her a proper hug and she gives him a sweet lil kiss on the cheek “have a nice weekend, hm?” his eyes flicker up to you and you feel your heart skip a beat
emma pulls away from him and skips over to you
“oh, and don’t forget to tie your laces, emma.” taehyung hums as he gets back up onto his feet
you look down because you remember putting emma in slip-on converse this morning not-
“he means you, mama.” emma not-so-subtly whispers and you look down at your undone laces before looking back up at taehyung who’s looking very amused at the moment
there it is again
that fuzzy feeling in your stuPid heart
u know what you have to get over it because it’s never going to happen
you’re an adult
you can get over it fine
you’ll be finE
this is just a silly little crush
“how do you feel about spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner?” you clutch emma’s little hand in yours as you guys make your way down the empty hallway
“yummy! with extra cheese?”
“it wouldn’t be as yummy without the extra cheese… but we obviously have to go to our usual place to get a hot chocolate first…” you’re rambling on and on about hot chocolate but emma isn’t really paying attention
because she has concocted a sneaky plan in that tiny brain of hers
she knows you like mr. kim
and she’s positive mr. kim likes you back
you always get so red around him
and he always gets so red around you
and red is the colour of love
which means that you must love mr. kim and mr. kim must love you
and she’s been trying her hardest to try and get you guys to hold hands or touch butts or whatever it is grown-ups do to prove they love each other
but each time she does something she’s never successful!!!
she tried to tell mr. kim about you dressing extra pretty for him but you smacked a hand over her mouth before she could get it out
she made a play-doh mommy and a play-doh mr. kim and presented them proudly to you and mr. kim and the both of you just laUGHED in hER FACE
do you people think she’s just a SIMPLE F O O L
and she has to admit the painting of you and her and mr. kim is probably one of her weaker moves but it’s better than nothing
and u know what
she just wants you to be happy
because she loves you a lot
and you’re a good mommy
and good mommies deserve to be happy
SO
this next part is all part of her evil plan and she’s positive that this time something will happen
all of her peers (including herself) have their own cubbies in the classroom
emma purposely left her snack box in there so that you’d have a reason to go back
AND she left a little note in there for you and (hopefully) mr. kim to read
emma is your child after all
meaning she’s a very verY clever girl
she just has to wait for the right time.,.,.
and the right time is noW
“mommy, my snack box is still in the classroom!!” emma stops in her tracks and you nod before pointing to the direction of the classroom
“go ahead, go get it”
“but i need to pee.” she squeezes her legs together and makes a face of discomfort “you need to get the snack box, mommy”
“i-“ you look back at the closed door of the classroom “mommy can wait for you to finish peeing and then you can go-“
“no, no, you need to go get it i need to pEE” the next thing you know she’s spRInting towards the washroom and you’re left standing in the middle of the hallway with question marks floating around your head
what in the hickory ham is going on
“gO GET MY SNACK BOX MOMMY” you hear her voice echo from the washroom
“alRIght alright” you snort before turning and heading back to the classroom
you don’t know why you’re suddenly so nervous
you’re retrieving your daughter’s snack box from her super attractive teacher that you definitely have a crush on there’s nothing to be nervous about
hi tae! emma left the ol’ snack box up in here!
whaddup mr. kim! mind if i just pOP right in??
yo Yo yOOoo have u seen a purple box anywhere?? because it belongs to emma and i need it
o god
all of these options are terrible
you need more time to rehearse your lines-
you’re about to reach up to knock on the door when suddenly it swiNgs right open and you stumble back in surprise
“oh shit!” taehyung reaches out and grabs onto your waist before you can fall flat on your aSS and you let out a squeak
in the midst of your almost-fall you’d grabbed onto his bicep and now.,.., he has an arm…, wrapped around your waist.,., while you have one hand on his bicep and one hand curled around the nape of his neck.,,,..,.,
the two of you snap out of your respective trances when you hear a door open down the hallway and you immediately leT GO of each other
also tae was right ur hair does smell really nice
“hi. sorry about that! i was on my way to the washroom and i didn’t know you were outside…” he clears his throat and prays to god he’s not as red as a tomato right now
“no, no! it was my bad, i’m sorry.” you reach up and scratch the back of your neck “i, uh, emma said she left her snack box in here.” you breathe out
“oh, uh, come in! i’ll help you search for it. it’s probably in her cubby. she’s always leaving things in there.” taehyung falls back into his ‘mr. kim’ persona as he leads you towards the cubbies in the back “let’s see… emma… here~” he bends down and you follow suit
oh my go d he even smells good is this aLLOWed
you perk up when you spot emma’s box
“hey, you’re right! here it is-“ you reach in and grab the box but you’re surprise when you notice the piece of paper stuck to the back of it
it’s an A4 piece of paper with a little card stuck to it and a note written in crayon on it
you recognise the card
it’s the business card of that little cafe you take emma to every friday after school
the one that you’re supposed to take her to right noW
‘mommy’s faveriate drink is karomal makkiatoe and mr. kim’s faverieote drink is hot chalklate’
“huh.” both you and tae are kinda just staring at the note
the gears are click-click-clicking away in both your guys’ heads
and then it hits the both of you at the same time
oh.
oh.
taehyung isn’t typically a ballsy guy but like
he’s feeling vEry brave all of a sudden
“can i take you out sometime?” he blurts out and your eyes widen in surprise
oh
well
you certainly weren’t expecting that
the both of you get back up onto your feet and you tuck emma’s box into your backpack
your cheeks flare up and you let out a little chuckle before scratching the back of your neck “i… uh…”
“i mean, don’t feel pressured to say yes just because i’m emma’s teacher!” taehyung stammers “i just, y’know, i don’t want to overstep here but i think you’re a very beautiful woman and-“
“i would love to.” you clear your throat and take your bottom lip in between your teeth “yeah, i would love to. actually, uh- emma and i, we usually go to this cafe every friday - if you’re free right now, maybe you can come and join us?” you rub your slighTLy damp hands on the back of your jeans and taehyung immediately lightS up and nods quickly
“i would love that. yeah, just… just gimme a second to clean up real quick! i’ll meet you and emma outside?”
“great! yeah, totally. she’s just.. she’s peeing right now so i should probably go check and see that she hasn’t flushed herself down the toilet or anything” you joke as you make your way towards the door and tae splits off to head to his desk “i’ll see you outside!”
you shut the door behind you and you have to quickly press yourself against the wall and you nearly bite your bottom lip off to keep yourself from screaming
your heart is going a million miles an hour and there are butterflies just having a raVE in your stomach
as soon as you leave the room taehyung pumps a fiST into the air in victory because Y E S HE DID IT
“did you find my box?” emma’s sitting outside the washroom as you approach her and you raise a brow before nodding
“mhm.” she gets up and grabs onto your hand before looking back at the classroom door
huh
did her plan not work
she knows she’s not supposed to say bad words but what the h*ck
she really thought her plan would work!!!!
“mr. kim’s joining us for hot chocolate today, by the way. hope you don’t mind.” you add casually and a cheshire-cat grin takes over emma’s face
the whole time you and emma and tae are at the cafe emma can’t help but feel proud of herself
you and mr. kim are sitting very vEry close to each other in your booth chatting away while she sits opposite of you two quietly nibbling at a scone and taking small sips of her hot chocolate
S U C C E S S has never tasted so good
help me help you make your wishes come tru (aka send me a request)

Most Popular Hybrid Dog Breeds
We live in a world in which customization is a way of life. We want things now and we want them perfect from the start. We tailor all our clothes. We order custom cars online instead of going to the dealership, and we even order custom sandwiches and cakes from our local supermarket to have at lunch. We do the same when it comes to dogs. While many people agree that it’s best to adopt rather than shop, some people want a dog that’s custom-made – or bred. Hybrid dogs are very popular. They’re usually a mix of two different purebreds, and they’re in high demand. Here are some of the most popular hybrid dog breeds. If you looking for best pet grooming in delhi visit to our website
Yorkipoo
What’s cuter than a Yorkshire terrier or a poodle? Only the mixture of the two! These little dogs are so cute and so sweet. They stay little forever because of their small parentage, and they’re cute as a button. They have a lot of the qualities of a yorkie with the furry body of a poodle, which makes them the most adorable dogs you’ll ever see. They’re in high demand, and people love them endlessly. They’re willing to pay a pretty penny for these little puppies, and they stay on waiting lists for long periods of time.
Cockapoo
It’s the first of the designer dogs. It’s small, cute, and absolutely worth having. It’s a cocker spaniel and a poodle. It’s a very happy dog with a fetching personality (pun intended). The cockapoo is sweet and good-natured, easy to train and perfect for a family with kids or without. They love attention and they’re very loyal, which makes them excellent pets. They have the kind of endearing personality that makes them very desirable by people who want a dog they can cuddle and take with them when they travel. They’re very sweet little creatures.
EngAm Bulldog
Bulldogs are a favorite among many pet owners, but not all of them know that they can breed and American bulldog with an English bulldog and get the cutest puppies in the world. These dogs are beyond sweet and just adorable. They have big personalities and big bodies. It’ll be around 50 pounds when it’s full grown, but it’s also going to be very kind. It’s a brave dog that often gets a bad rap for being an aggressive dog. However, when properly trained, they’re not at all aggressive unless their owner tells them to protect.
If you are searching best dog grooming in delhi contact to whoof whoof.
Frug
If you want a small dog, this is the one for you. It’s made from a French bulldog and a pug, and it’s pretty new. It has the same smooshed face as the pug, and the best characteristics of both breeds. These dogs are sweet, but they do have a temper. It will take some training to ensure this puppy behaves at home, so it’s good for someone who is home often and has the patience to teach the dog to behave in a way that’s appropriate and not overwhelming.
Wolf Dogs
These dogs are absolutely beautiful. Some people are a little scared of them, however. They’re very big, and very sweet, but they’re also very playful and very affectionate. Typically, these dogs are bred from Arctic Tundra wolves, and they’re very intelligent. They learn quickly and will not hesitate to protect their own. They are mixed with just about any type of domestic dog, which makes them all look a bit different. The idea of having a wolf as a pet is a little intimidating to some, but they’re wonderful pets with beautiful personalities.
Corgi Dalmation
Pembroke Welsh Corgis and Dalmations make beautiful babies. These hybrid dogs are very popular and very high in demand. People want them because they’re not huge, but they’re not small either. They’re the perfect size, and they are so sweet. They get about a foot tall and weigh around 25 pounds. They’re loyal and very intelligent, and they are active. They’re also very gentle and do very well around kids, no matter what size they are. Most of these dogs are perfect in big families, and they enjoy indoor and outdoor living. They’re also very obedient, which is great for big families.
St. Berdoodle
If you’re going to pick a dog that’s cute just because he’s cute, this is the one to choose. The very large St. Bernard mixed with a poodle makes, hands down, the cutest little dog in the world. Of course, they’re not going to stay too small forever. The best part about anything bred with a poodle is the hypoallergenic fur it’s born with. However, in addition to that, these dogs are exceptionally protective, loyal and fun-loving. They will do anything to protect their own, which makes them exceptionally unique and very worth owning.
Puggle
People love this type of hybrid. It stems, in my opinion, from the fact that people just love pugs with their wrinkly little faces. The puggle is the mixture of a beagle and a pug. It’s small and friendly, and it’s going to make a great family dog for those with kids. They’re active and fun-loving, and they are going to have big personalities. These dogs do very well around kids, because they’re like kids themselves. They love to play, to run and to explore, and they love attention. They’ll work well in a big family or one that loves to be outdoors a lot.
Schnoodle
Schnauzers and poodles make cute babies. These adorable dogs aren’t big, but they’re not too small. They make wonderful lap dogs. They’re just like their parents in that they are very friendly, very family-oriented, and they want to be what you want them to be. They’re good for your own personal therapeutic needs and they’re good performers. They’re easy to teach and train, which makes them great dogs for busy families. They have a beautiful coat, which makes them one of the loveliest dogs in the hybrid category. They’re exceptionally loyal and very trustworthy.
Peekapoo
This little dog is another popular hybrid because it stays small. It’s got a cute face that sort of reminds you of those gremlins from that movie that was so popular in the 80s. These dogs are a mixture of Pekingese and poodles and they’re adorable. What’s so great about this type of hybrid is the fact that they are so loyal and affectionate. They take the best qualities from their parentage and use them to their advantage, to make their new owners fall madly in love with them. They’re a great hybrid dog for those who want to have a loyal, affectionate animal that does well with kids.
Maltipoo
These might be the most famous designer dog in the world. It all started when Jessica Simpson got one for herself when she had her reality television show, and people just lined up to have their own. This is the perfect mixture of a maltese and a poodle, and they’re such sweet dogs. They don’t get very big, and they’re easy to train. They’re gentle, fun-loving and very affectionate. They’re lap dogs who love attention, so they’re not for people that travel often and require a lot of help in taking care of them. You’ll want this dog with you at all times.
Labradoodle
It’s another of the bigger designer dogs, and it’s one that you just can’t help but love. This dog has a special face that’s just half Labrador retriever and half poodle, and it’s so cute you can’t help but fall madly in love. These dogs are very friendly, and very active. They’re going to be very easy to teach, and very easy to manage, and they’re going to make your family very happy. What you’re going to get with this dog is one that loves kids, loves to be outside and loves to follow instructions, which is great for busy families. If you are searching best dog grooming in delhi contact to whoof whoof.
Goldador
What’s more fun than a big dog with a big personality? This dog is a hybrid that people are lying up to purchase. It’s a cross between a full-blooded Labrador retriever and a golden retriever. They’re big, beautiful and very playful. They’re also perfect for the family that wants to have a dog that is active and ready to play. You’ll get plenty of exercise with a dog like this, but it’s going to cost you. These dogs are very expensive since they are ‘custom-made’ dogs. In the past, they were mutts; today, they’re designer dogs bred to be a specific breed.

goldendoodle
Goldendoodle
What a beautiful dog. The perfect mix between a poodle and a gold retriever, it’s large and lovely. It has the body of a golden retriever and the fur of a poodle, which makes him fluffy and friendly. This big dog is going to fiercely protect your family. He is going to make you his number one priority and do whatever it takes to make you happy. He’s going to protect, care, and nurture. He’s going to be gentle at home with the kids, and have fun when it’s appropriate.
Maltese Shih Tzu
This is a designer dog, and it’s a popular one. It’s also one of the very few that is not mixed with a poodle in any way shape or form. This designer dog is one that comes from easy to understand parentage; it’s a maltese and shih tzu. This means his personality is going to be one that is very sweet, very loyal, and probably a bit hyper. These dogs love to explore and to be paid a lot of attention. They like to be the center of attention, and they’re going to want to spend as much time as possible on your lap and playing with your kids.
