What I think the dreamies twitters would look like
A bullet point imagine
This idea came randomly to me and thought it was a cute concept lmao
so i hope you enjoy my mind
Mark
2am quotes, drunk thoughts, poems or just how he is feeling he always manages to say the deepest things at 2am
guitar videos, hes just practising silently humming the melody along with his playing
he posts his song wips hoping to find inspiration from the people who read them and offer advice
if he isnt posting his likes are filled from his time spent doom scrolling
just a bunch of sad quotes in those likes
Renjun
artistic is the only way to describe it, proudly shares his art with everyone also offers commissions for some money on the side
laughs slightly when a nctzen asks for a drawing of a member not knowing its him doing the commission
loves sharing his art with everyone
shares tutorials and videos of supplies he reccomends
very artsy
Jeno
this account is barren
you'd think it was a bot acc honestly
mostly posts about his bike and the things he sees out on his bike rides
genuinely forgets it exists posts every 3 months if that
he's just a pure soul and doesn't really use the app that much
haechan
meme lord #1
he's posting candids he's taken of the members like he's a menace
he interacts with nctzen's and is living for the memes they post too
exposes the members on the tl constantly
i'm talking out of context screenshots of convos and starting random hashtags
Jaemin
cat pictures hourly
literally has alarms set up to remember to post a picture of his cats
doesn't matter what he's doing he will drop everything to post on the tl to not let the fans down
replies to the fans as if hes the cats like "thank you - luna"
very proud cat dad
Chenle
meme lord #2
unlike haechan hes fully making memes and reaction pics
is the most followed nct meme acc on twitter and no one knows its him
very very proud of himself honestly
almost exposes himself in a video because he was editing a meme he takes his meme lord position seriously
Jisung
he doesnt really know what hes doing so just posts like most of stan twitter does
joins in on all the quiz thread trends
interacts with the fans, hes became a nct fan acc of himself without realising
people think hes a sasaeng because he posts unreleased photos and is at the same events
he comes clean and does a space to reveal its him and gains millions of followers

jnnul’s [works in progress]
a/n: this work in progress list is also a work in progress - but everything on here is stuff that ended up surviving the writer’s fallout purge (where i inevitably delete all the documents of fics i no longer have the passion to write). there is a new and updated second version of this masterlist for the newer ideas that i’ve been working on.
ready for love - jeno x fem!reader (ft. tbz’s juyeon) (non-idol au)
Tumblr media
sum.: a boy who has never taken a relationship seriously. a girl who is seriously over relationships. when they end up finding each other, will they let their ideas of what a relationship should be like ruin their relationship before it even starts?
word count: 19.5k
release date: tues, nov 21, 2023
tags: slice of life, friends to lovers but also...it’s complicated?, everything is just complicated for no reason in this fic they’re just dramatic af, jaemin and y/n are platonic besties
status: released!
of sword and ink - juyeon x fem!southasian!oc (silla era au)
Tumblr media
sum.: where an indian princess is sent to the silla dynasty in order to promote trade through the means of political alliance - marriage. however, the princess soon discovers that the king she is to marry is not like what the stories say he is.
est word count: 30-40k
est release date: may 2024 (or never lol)
tags: dynasty meets the crown meets game of thrones minus the incest, just a lot of politics and a lot of poorly concealed government smacktalk, if i go missing after this one it’s bc i made too many innuendos abt capitalism
status: writing (700 words lmao)
five questions - mark x gn!reader (non-idol au)
Tumblr media
sum.: did you know it only takes five questions to find your soulmate?
est word count: 4-5k
release date: wed, june 27, 2023
tags: finance bro mark and y/n, slice of life, mostly fluff, kinda your typical suburban modern day couple, idk they’re just good ppl who experience a slow and sweet romance, oh! and mark sucks at beer pong
status: released!
heartbreak hotel (1) - jaemin x fem!reader (college au)
Tumblr media
sum.: y/n has hated na jaemin. he’s a heartbreaker, a playboy, a rogue, and possibly the most intelligent and rich man she knows. but the thin line between love and hate gets blurred when she realizes that he’s never truly put his heart into their rivalry. no, jaemin’s heart was somewhere else entirely. [part 1 of the nct dream 00 line heartbreakers series]
est word count: 10k
est release date: june 2024
tags: enemies to lovers, suggestive content, they almost fuck, y/n doesn’t actually hate jaemin, but she’s committed to the bit for sure, she also kinda has a stick up her ass when it comes to jaemin tbh bc he doesn’t know what hard work is and y/n has worked for everything in her life
status: writing
great teacher y/n - jaehyun x reader (teacher/school au)
Tumblr media
sum.: teaching high school kids about physics and mathematics was not your career plan. but turns out the government is serious about collecting their loans and there simply isn’t any way to do that without a job. so when nasa doesn’t work out, you turn to teaching physics at a prestigious academy - copernicus academy. as you navigate between being a good teacher, new friends, and possibly even romance, you realize that sometimes, the unexpected plans are the best ones.
est word count: 11k
est release date: august 2024
tags: still fleshing this one out bois
status: on hiatus
peaches - yang jungwon x reader (neighbor au)
Tumblr media
sum.: when you pie your [really-hot] neighbor in the face on accident, you never imagine that you’re gonna have to be wheeling him to the hospital because who the fuck is allergic to peaches? yang jungwon, apparently. but you come to learn that yang jungwon is so much more than his unfortunate allergy to peaches and his pretty face and you’re stuck wondering if falling in love with someone you can’t have is worth it.
est: 11k
est release date: july 2024
tags: this one’s sad bois, bullet fic, like ngl, when i was planning this one, i teared up a little bit, sorry in advance tw: major character death, terminal illness, just...not meant for the weak-hearted
status: on hiatus

Tumblr media
— bulleted!NCT DREAM members comforting you when you’re down
Mark
ok so i feel like mark is jus they type to be good at listening to anyones problems
so he’s jus sittin there and listening to you rant or yk just be there while you let it all out
hes also jus SO HUGGABLE !1?1?1?
lets gosh he’s so cute and you jus wanna hug him becAuSe whO wouLdnT wanT thAt
so you do hug him and he juS UGH HUGS YOU
and mind you... It’s so comforting?
idk why but i feel like he’d smell rlly sweet oK moVinG oN
i feel like if you’re crying while hugging him he’d be the type to be caressing your head
“It’s ok i’m here everything’s gonna be okay”
SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO NOT SIMP FOR MORKLEE?
imagine if he also sings “because i love you” with his guitar or humming it to make you feel better tHats SoCuTe oHmYgosh
and when you’re all better he jus suggest to cuddle cuz deep down he’s tired but he’s never too tired for you
there’s jus really chill music in the bg while you enjoy each others warmth
WHEN HE LAUGHS WHILE YOU’RE TALKING WHILE CUDDLING ITS JUS THE BEST MEDICINE I SWEAR
Renjun
i had a little help from @y0ngs95candy
can i just say i get softboyfriend!renjun vibes?
ok so i feel like renjun would be doing sum artsy stuff while chilling with you
painting together UGH OMG CUTE
but then he notices how awfully quiet you are
then he looks at you tryna figure out what’s wrong and what’s going thru ur head
then when you do look back he gives you that :] smile of his
AND YOU JUS BURST AND TELL HIM EVERYTHING THATS GOING ON
I honestly think renjun would just be the type to listen while looking down and nod
NOT LOOKING DOWN IN A BAD WAY BEFORE Y’ALL COME AT ME
like he’s probs jus intently listening to you
then after he jus scoots towards you and hugs you and tucks your hair behind your ear
and you jus sit in such comfortable silence
then he jus gets your hand and interlocks it with his and his thumb caresses the back of your hand making your heart bUrSt
then after a while you just look up at him and he just gives you his :] smile again and you just laugh
which makes him laugh so the mood just becomes even lighter
then to make you feel better he asks “Can I sing you a song?”
And you nod because you just love hearing his voice uH who doesnT?
but to your surprise he sings....
“WAE NEONUN NAREUL MANNASEO”
and you both just burst out laughing
but after that the atmosphere goes back and you both jus go back to hugging
and he hums “My Everything” by NCT U and you just sigh because it’s so calming
Jeno
Idk why but I get the vibes you guys jus walk late a night together hand in hand
so you guys were jus casually walking and your head was down the whole time
then jeno obvs notices because you’re usually talking about how your day went
so he squeezes your hand and smiles
“hey babe i know a convenience store nearby”
so he dragged you there and made you a full convenience store meal (ramen with your fave sides)
then you ate together in the tables outside
“I hope it makes you feel better” ( ◠‿◠ )
I swear his smile is so cute oHmYgOsh uR heart always jus BOOMBOOMBOOM
and there and then you just opened up
but deep down you felt better bec he made sure that you were always comfortable first
then after he jus listened and caressed your cheek and you jus closed your eyes and enjoyed his touch
after he took your hand and brought you to a mini claw machine and tried his best to win you a mini stuffed toy
Which he did and he was PROUD that jus was jus jumping around happily
then you just continued walking hand in hand and you kissed his cheek as a thank u
and his eye jus went wide while his ears turned red and he jus look at you back and forth while touching his cheek
Haechan
for this gamer!hyuck jus popped into my head
so he’s gaming and you were kinda down and unlike with the other members scenario you are clingy af with hyuck
so when you were down you decided to slip into his arms and sit on his lap
Because you jus love the comforts of his hugs especially during these times
he doesn’t push you away instead he kisses your temple and says “hey baby”
and even though he was playing his warmth and hugs jus made you feel so safe that you broke down
then he felt the tears on his shoulder and neck and his heart jus broke
he immediately paused his game and started caressing your back
you could hear the members yelling through his earphones asking why he paused but at that moment he jus cared about you
he showered you in kisses and pulled you away from his chest to wipe your tears and to tuck your hair behind your ear
then he jus connected your heads anD you couLdnT hElp bUt smiLe CUZ UGH HES AMAZING
then he asked you what was wrong and you jus told him everything
he then quit his game and carried you onto the bed and immediately cuddled you
you jus listened to him humming and you were engulfed by his warmth
and you jus fell asleep in his arms
IM SORRY THAT WAS SO CUTE UGH GDMI HAECHAN
Jaemin
i feel as though jaemin came over to grill sum bbq because he was craving it and wanted to eat it with you
so as he was cooking the meat he realized you were jus poking at your food
at first he asked if his cooking sucked you jus shook you head no
“If my baby doesn’t eat then I’m gonna be sad and we don’t want that..”
but then before he could continue he realized you were really down
so he turned off the electric grill and sat down beside you
“Why is my baby sad” he said as he cupped your face in his hands
and then the tears started to appear in your eyes
and he immediately wiped it dragging you out of the kitchen to the living room
he then went to grab a blanket from the room and put it over both your shoulders
and just let you lean your head on his shoulder
he took your hand and intertwined it with his
and you took a deep breath and jus let it all out
these were rare moments where jaemin would actually be serious and listened to you
once you finished you both jus sat there in comfortable silence
until he stood up and you gave him a look that screamed WhAt wHere Are yOu gOinG?1!1?
he jus smiled and came back with your bag full of skin care supplies wearing his bunny facewash headband
“WE’RE GONNA MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER WITH SKINCARE NIGHT”
and then you both just laughed and sat there doing each others masks and skincare
Chenle
Chenle really loves daegal so we shall include Daegal here
so you visited chenle’s apartment because you knew being around him always made you feel better
you both played with daegal until he noticed something off about you
you were’t really being obvs but he jus knows
then he jus gets up and sits beside you putting his head on your shoulder
and you both jus sat there holding daegal until he chose to run away
that’s when it was so silent and chenle jus goes fine fine if you won’t tell me that’s ok
Then he turns away fake crying and after pretending to be asleep
then you were laughing so hard until you finally decided
BOOM you open up
at that moment chenle gets up to sit on the couch and places your head on his lap while he plays with your hair while listening
and even if you’re letting everything out your heart was jus meLtiNg
then he jus listening and understood you
afterwards he jus put you on his lap your back facing him
and hugged you while placing his chin in your shoulder and started singing your fave song
you both jus sat there in his living room both wrapped around under one blanket with chenle’s voice filling the room
Then daegal felt left out and decided to run up and sit on your lap
after struggling to get up the couch
Jisung
I feel like he would’ve called you outta nowhere saying to open your door because he has something to show you
so at first when you open the door looking all down and something
i don’t think he notices
he’ll jus continue to be showing you all happy and excited
and ngl that lowkey made you feel better cuz he looks so proud and cute
so when he finishes you let him inside
and while walking in he’s like asking you all questions like
“Hey babe what did you do today..”
“Hey babe what did you eat today..”
“Hey babe....”
and after a few questions he realizes you seem really off
and he has a look of realization and jus
“Are you okay?”
and you nod yes because you didn’t want him to worry
but he’s like
“AniYa aniYa” and walks to the couch and jus signals you to go to him with his *im tryna be helpful and serious face*
and you laugh and while you walk there he welcomes you with open arms and you jus open up to him and he gave you the cutest reactions
“AH JINJA?” “Omo omo”
and those little things jus helped you feel better
afterwards you jus suggested to watch a movie together to make you feel better
then he jus tried to cheer you up by being all cute but he kept scolding himself
so you jus stood up and hugged him and gave him a peck and he jus turned red
after you jus hugged while watching the movie and him questioning everything happening on the screen

mocha | jeno
Tumblr media
pairing: basketball player!jeno x barista!reader genre: coffee shop au | fluff, slight angst summary: you tutor star basketball player jeno when you realize he’s spending late nights studying in the cafe you work at.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
this is a part of the moonlight cafe series — please read the preface before continuing reading
he walks as if he’s in a hurry, not minding the jingling bell on the door above him and sits down at a booth in the corner of the cafe
he has a baseball cap on, and a hoodie over that; you can’t recognize who he is at all
waiting a few moments, you glance over at his table again
he has several textbooks and his laptop out, promptly putting his airpods in his ears and beginning his homework
you just write him off as any other student that comes in here at night, the only difference with him is that he doesn’t order a coffee with an unhealthy amount of espresso shots in it
you don’t mind him, but it is a bit worrying when he spends the whole night switching between laying his head down on the table and softly thumping it against the wood, and staring blankly between his laptop and textbook
when he leaves that night at 3am, you send a silent wish after him that whatever he was studying for goes in his favor 
but surprisingly, he shows up the next night as well
it’s saturday night, the evening rush ended a while ago, and the mysterious guy is once again sitting in his spot at the back corner of the cafe
he looks even more frazzled than the night before, yet he doesn’t order anything and continues to diligently work throughout the whole night
this goes on for weeks, and you begin to worry for this poor boy’s sleep schedule
but even more so, you’re curious about who he is, since he never orders anything and always has a hood or a hat on
one night, your curiosity is quenched
“who’s that?” taeil asks you; he’s normally not at the store this late, but forgot to complete taking inventory this morning and came back tonight to finish it up
he nods his head towards your mystery guy, who has slumped over his textbooks and looks to be peacefully sleeping on the table
“not sure. he always comes in and studies for almost the whole night, never orders anything, though.” you shrug at your boss and he frowns
“go give him a mocha, or something. on the house- he looks like he needs to wake up.” taeil turns back to his clipboard and you nod
carrying over a hot mocha to the intriguing character in the corner of the cafe, your heart thumps in suspense
you’ll finally be able to learn who the mystery man is, something you’ve been wondering since day one
you set the mocha down on the table carefully and sit across from him, shaking his arm to wake him up
the guy jerks out of his sleep, a flashcard sticking to his face as he looks around the cafe with lidded eyes
“sorry!” you grimace, holding out your hands in front of you “I didn’t mean to scare you, I just wanted to wake you up. my boss told me to give you this mocha on the house, and to make sure you’re okay.” the guy unsticks the flashcard from his face, and your mouth drops when you realize who the mystery man is
“lee jeno?” you ask, and his sleepy eyes widen when you recognize him
“...no? I think you have me mistaken for someone else...” he clears his throat, looking around the cafe to see if anyone has their attention turned to you two
you would believe him, if he isn’t the most well known face on campus
he’s not only the college’s basketball star who has his face plastered on every basketball-related event at the school and is dating the head cheerleader, but also the guy who sits a few rows in front of you in your calculus class
“I'm 90% sure you’re lee jeno.” you state, and he seems too tired to argue with you about his identity
“okay, yes, that’s me. can you please not tell anyone that I'm here.”
“tell what? that you, a college student, studies?” you tilt your head and cross your arms as you wait for his response
“yeah,” he becomes shy, playing with his airpods that fell out of his ears during his nap, “to be honest, I'm in a calculus class this semester and I don’t understand one bit of it. that’s why I'm here every weekend night.” he explains, not meeting your gaze yet
all of a sudden, it hits you-
he doesn’t know who you are
although your calculus class has almost 100 people in it, you would think he would’ve at least seen you walking past him every monday, wednesday, and friday to your seat behind him
but you’re not surprised that he’s struggling or that he hasn’t noticed you, since you always see him talking with his basketball friends instead of paying attention 
“I can tutor you.” you shrug, and he raises his eyebrows, finally making eye contact, “I work every weekend night, and I took that class last semester.”
you don’t feel guilty about lying
if jeno doesn’t recognize you, then maybe it should stay that way
what he doesn't know won’t hurt thim
“wouldn’t that keep you away from your job...” 
“it calms down after midnight around here, and I usually get bored during that time. what do you say?”
he agrees, and pretty soon you’re tutoring basketball star lee jeno
you thought that keeping your identity secret when you walk into class would be difficult, but jeno is always too busy fooling around with his friends before class starts that it’s easy to sneak past him
jeno comes in after midnight on weekends, you tutor him for about an hour (or until he understands the homework) and then he leaves to get some precious sleep 
jeno might be forever thankful for you
the way you explain things makes sense to him, much more sense than any office hours or ta hours that he has been to
it’s a win-win situation for you both: you can count these hours every night as “volunteer work” and jeno soon comes back to the cafe with his midterm exam, a solid B+ labeled across the top
“good job,” you chime when you see his grade from his phone
a text message notification pops up, and although you don’t read it, you definitely saw the word “party”
“maybe we can skip the study session tonight? you’ve been doing much better lately, and it’s friday night. I bet you want to get out and go to a party, or something.” you suggest, giving jeno a perfect excuse to leave you for the night and join his friends
“nah,” jeno shrugs as he takes back his phone, “I'd much rather hang out with you.”
your heart thuds at his words and you try your hardest to control your facial expression- to somehow bite back the heat threatening to rise to your cheeks
it’s been like this for the past few weeks, ever since you saw this new side to jeno
before tutoring him, he was only the basketball player who loudly fooled around with his friends before class and seemed like he didn’t care about anything else other than basketball
but since you started to get to know him, it’s safe to say you severely misjudged him
he’s probably the most boyish guy you’ve ever met, who cracks jokes that most would cringe at but have you clutching your stomach and wheezing with laughter 
the more time he spent around you, the more comfortable he became, and the more he could tell you his feelings
like how nervous he was for the exam or how scared he was for last week’s game
or how he’s determined to drink the mocha you make him every time he comes to the cafe, as an apology for all the nights he hogged a table and didn’t buy anything
he snuck into your heart, through the spaces between your ribs and planted himself there, unwilling to leave
but you know your feelings aren’t acceptable
he has a girlfriend, a very pretty and popular one that you’re almost sure he won’t leave for little old you
“seriously,” jeno notices your change in tone, “you can go out. you don’t have to stay here.”
“I'm being serious, too. let’s start on the next chapter, since you took this class last semester you’ll know how to do the equations for the next part, right?” jeno is already pulling out his textbook and his papers, determined to start working
your heart races, now for a different reason
although you’re good at calculus, you’re not that good to understand the next chapter yet
“uh...” you trail off, trying to find an excuse, “why do you even want to do math homework right now?” you ask, and jeno suddenly gets quiet
“it’s not really about math anymore, it’s about the person who’s teaching it to me...” he mumbles, but you hear him clearly
your heart is in your throat and your hands clam up from nerves
this is wrong
he has a girlfriend
his life is very different and separate from yours
this is so wrong
“we can’t.” you shake your head, and jeno’s nervous glances at you turns into a heartsick and longing look, “I- I actually haven’t taken this class. I'm taking it... right now.” you admit, the weight on your shoulders being lifted
“what?” he frowns
he doesn’t look good with a frown, his round glasses move with his face
he looks more like a confused puppy than the killer basketball player everyone knows and loves
“I'm in your class, jeno. I sit three rows behind you. I walk past you everyday to my seat.” you roll your eyes lightly
jeno just keeps getting more and more confused with every sentence
“how? how did I not notice you-”
“because you’re too busy messing around with your bros.” you roll your eyes harder this time, but when your gaze lands back on jeno, you immediately start to regret the forcefulness of your words
he looks hurt, and now angry
“so, you lied to me?” jeno looks as if the gears in his brain are running at full capacity, “what did you want from me then? some tickets to the game, maybe my phone number to sell online?” he spits out, embarrassment from you not returning his feelings fueling his harsh words
“do I look like I would do that? you know I'm not that kind of person.”
“forget it. maybe I will go to that party...” he trails off as he packs up his bag
“you act different with your friends than you do with me. you’re just trying to fit into a mold. I called you out on it and you’re mad about it.”
“no. I act different with you because I like you. liked.” he corrects himself, standing up out of the booth
your heart pinches with hurt at his words
there’s nothing like the bitterness of being so close to what you wanted, and then taking 10 steps back because you weren’t aware of how close you were to getting it
“you forgot your drink.” you say bitterly, intent on having the last word
he tucks his airpods into his ears and fixes his hood, “I hate mochas.”
the next night, the basketball team loses their first game of the season
it’s hard not to hear about it, considering the basketball team (and lee jeno) are the pride of the college
but a few more nights pass, and the team loses another game
and then they lose again, keeping them from going to regionals 
even taeyong and taeil talk about it, and you couldn’t look away when they showed you the viral video of jeno’s cheerleader girlfriend breaking up with him in the middle of the court after the last game
although you haven’t talked to him since the fight, you still felt sorry for him
you felt bad, and a bit guilty
jeno hasn’t shown up to calculus since the loss, and his seat is eventually taken by one of his ex-friends 
within a month, jeno turned from the campus’ golden boy to a nobody
and it didn’t matter to you
you haven’t physically seen him since the fight, making you worried about him
is he okay? physically and mentally? is he eating or sleeping? 
part of you hates that you still have feelings for him, and the other part doesn’t care 
you just want to know if he’s okay
and then one very early saturday morning, he walks into the cafe for the very first time since you fought 
the jingle of the bells above him comfort him, they chime a good luck to him as he steps up to the counter where you’re ducked down into the pastry display case 
“I'll be with you in one moment.” you say, tired dripping from your tone, and jeno realizes you’re in the last hour of your shift
“it’s no problem.” your rustling stops at the familiar voice, and your head pops up from behind the counter
lee jeno stands in front of you, his hoodie and baseball hat on, round glasses perched on his nose and his fringe tickling his eyes
“jeno.” you say, as if making sure it’s actually him and that he’s really here
“no, I think you might’ve mistaken me for someone else.” you and jeno both can’t help but let out a small laugh as you unexpectedly reenact the first time you met
“what are you doing here?” you ask, fully standing up and meeting him at the cash register
“well, I was hoping to get a mocha.” 
“I thought you hate mochas.” jeno stares at you and you stare back, unwilling to move until he says something first
jeno reaches out over the cash register, his strong but gentle fingers grazing over your forehead to fix some hair that was out of place due to your movements during restocking
you subconsciously lean into his touch, and jeno brings his hand down into yours, pulling you away from the cash register and sitting down in a chair at the counter
his hands hold yours over the counter, and the fact that you haven’t pulled away gives him hope that he’s not too late
“I grew to love them because of you. I've been craving them for the past month,” he laughs sourly, “but no one makes them the way you do.”
your heart trembles at his words, and it takes everything in you to not forgive him in an instant
“I'll make you one.” you say, untangling your hands from his and moving to the espresso machine 
jeno watches as you make his new favorite drink, and then place it before him as you sit down in a chair next to him
“I’m sorry.” is the first thing he says after you face him once again, “you were right. I was trying to fit into the mold of what the people around me wanted. the only time I could actually be myself is when I'm around you.” 
“I'm sorry, too. this isn’t all your fault, I shouldn’t have lied to you.” jeno scoots closer, tiredness tying you together and the moonlight from outside allowing you to enjoy the company of each other
“my calculus grade is low again. I might need your big brain to help me.”
“okay, but I'll need payment this time.”
“how much?”
“one kiss.”
“one kiss for every correct problem on the final exam?”
“deal.”
jeno smiles softly, his eyes scrunching as smile lines crease his face like tangled bedsheets in the early morning
he leans in, and you kiss with only the moonlight as a witness
jeno loves the way your mouth tastes like the bitter espresso that keeps him awake, but your lips are as sweet as the mocha that he has grown to love

roommate! jaemin
Tumblr media
i hope u guys like this one! i do :) 
warning: not proofread LMAO
jaemin: a huge flirt
like we been knew sis okay bUt its not like it defines him ya kno??? like yes he is a flirt but its not like he does it purposely
however that doesn’t stop every single girl from liking him
except for u cause you’re ~not like other girls~
jk you are 
cause who wouldn’t find na jaemin attractive?? tf???
okay but like the dealio between you and jaemin is that you are best friends 
and you have a fat crush on him (u have since the beginning of highschool LOL)
luckily for you, although jaemin is a flirt, he isnt interested in any girls so he doesnt bring any to your dorm
and even if he did, he would tell u because it would be shitty not to 
anyway
so u met in grade nine and yalls friendship popped TF off right away like you joined nomins duo and made it a trio in the span of 4 months and everyone was like???? this mf got that close to them that fast???? mastery
jeno was like ur brother from another mother fr
you and him told eachother everything and sometimes he would tell you things he wouldnt even tell jaemin. like everyone has those people that although theyre close w, there are some things you’d never tell and that goes for jeno and jaemin
jaemin never told jeno he listens to taylor swift
and jeno never told jaemin that he watched all of my little pony friendship is magic on netflix
but since you and jeno shared some personal things w eachother, you obviously told him about your crush on jaemin
and since you had a crush on jaemin, you never got like super super close with him just cause ur feels got in the way 
mainly just you never got as close to jaemin as you did jeno
sure you were bffs, but it wasn’t on such an intimate level
cause everytime jaemin would look your way you’d be gasping for air
so timeskip to senior year
everything is great
your friendship is still strong af and you guys are all planning for post secondary
jaemin and you get into the same uni right.... and jeno gets into the one the town over so your friendship wont take that much damage
but!!! jaemin wants to room with you!!! and ur like!! fucufejdsk!!!
cause like ofc you want to who wouldnt????? but you have such a massisve crush on him you dont want it to get in the way of not only yours but also jaemins university experience
you say yes tho and next thing you know youre unpacking all your stuff
the dorm is kind of small like there isnt a lot of space,,,,, theres two bedrooms but the beds literally take out the whole room HAHHAHA and then there is a chill space with the kitchen connected and u and jaemin have to share a washroom LOL
“jaemin what the FUCK did you eat??? beans??? i bet it was beans this shit smells so bad i-”
“it really do be ya own friends sometimes” -jaemin 2020 :((((((
anyway so like university life is good you and jaemin invite jeno over every weekend for a sleepover and vice versa its so cute GAH
but like,,,, here’s where the drama comes in
one day you are facetiming jeno and youre telling him about how you really like jaemin and blah blah ya know the usual
and youre not really looking at the screen cause youre doing your homework and focusing on that but jeno sees in the back that jaemin has fully entered the room
and you dont notice cause hes silent and your still talking but jeno is trying to get your attention UDHSJIA
and when he does you see in your part of the screen jaemin just,,,, standing there
cue you ending the call with jeno SO FAST and turning around like oH i thought you had classes right now?
“.... they ended early”
“i see” ://////////
you like get up super fast and just walk around him and go into your roomm shutting the door 
poor jaemin is just like “what”
cause to be honest he never really considered this situation ever happening yah he thought you were prettier than most girls and he liked the way you were able to talk to people so easily but he never would have thought you harboured feelings for him
so he kind of just leaves it be cause he knows that you def dont want to talk about it and is willing to wait for you to be the one who brings it up
so time skip to dinner youre both just eating in silence but you dont like it,,,
“what i said was true” you say and jaemin looks up and he knows where this convo is going but he lets you speak
“i didnt ever plan on telling you because i really like our friendship but i guess i wasn’t careful enough”
your heart is beating hella fast but you try to look unbothered and its going pretty good until jaemin asks you something
“how long have you felt this way?”
OKAY like it shouldnt be a big deal to tell him bc you already exposed yourself but for some reason that question just hit you deep cause you realized that youve liked him for so long and he never felt the same ya know
“i dont know,,, since the start of highschool? when we became friends i always thought you were cute and it just turned into a full blown crush”
jaemin just sort of nods in response “oh okay”
so that night your just laying in your bed full of regrets
you know things are about to be super duper awkward between you and jaemin and you wish it didnt have to be like that
so over the next couple of weeks its more awkward than it has ever been before and the sleepovers with jeno seem so divided 
its either jeno and you or jeno and jaemin its never the three of you anymore :((((((
jaemin isn’t ignoring your feelings though, dont worry! hes just trying to sort his out
because your confession kind of opened his eyes
he doesnt want to force himself to like you but he cant help but admit that when he first heard you talking about your feelings a huge warmth spread through his chest and he may or may not have uncovered some feelings
these feelings were always there but he suppressed in grade nine cause he thought you’d never like him and you just wanted to stay friends
so he pushed them down and never thought about it again
but obviously that didnt happen because now youre on his mind 24/7 and he wishes that he could just talk to you but hes kind of nervous
so after taking advice from jeno he tries to talk to you more, like asking how your day went and starting up conversations
youre  kind of like “what u playing at son” but you leave it cause you know jaemin would never do you dirty like that
it stays this way for a while until one night theres a particularly bad thunderstorm and jaemin is scared of thunder
and so when youre just playing on your phone jaemin opens your door slightly and has this scared look on his face
and you know that jaemin is scared of thunder so you open your arms without any words being shared
a huge boom of thunder makes jaemin squeal and jump into your arms
and he gets comfy under the covers as youre holding him, no words shared between you two
he starts to feel much better and this sense of comfort washes over him like,,, youre his home
and as hes falling asleep he softly mutters
“im sorry it took me so long”
and youre just straight confused like what does that mean is he talking about his feelings or just the fact that yall havent had such an close encounter in a while 
the next morning you wake up and jaemins arms and you guys are facing eachother
and hes already awake so when you oepn your eyes you find him already looking at you
“thank you for last night, youre the best” he whispers and youre like all good fam i understand
but then he leans in closer and is like “i should have told you this so long ago, but i am in love with you”
your eyes widen and youre like wh AT the FUCJ your heart is beating at like 420 bpm and ur shooketh
he just smiles and pulls in you in closer and its just a super soft moment and no words have to be said
that night you guys are cuddling on the couch after dinner when jaemin just asks you be his gf
OF COURSE YOU SAY YES! you have been waiting for this moment for god knows how long
jeno is all like damn fina-fucking-ly i’ve been watching this romance play out for like 5 years! 
its super cute
its even better that you guys are roommates because youre already living together so you get to see eachother everyday
jaemins room as become a guest room for sorts as he now shares a bed with you
jenos happy af hes like YESSS I DONT NEED TO SLEEP WITH JAEMIN IN OUR SLEEPOVERS ANYMORE
jaemin: >:(((((( tf is that supposed to mean
you just laugh and youre like im not complaining hahaha and jaemins heart just stutters so bad 
he really does love you and he cant believe it took him so long to accept his feelings
and one night he tells you about how he pushed them down and youre like “exCUSE ME we could have been dating all this time u pussy”
sad jaemin :((((( 
anyway ya its so good its a win-win situation 
you get to room with the love of your life and its just magical there are so many soft moments between you two and just UGH relationship goals
i need me a jaemin

nct dream + fantasy creatures (halloween edition)
note: it is here at last im late but i wrote this in a span of a few hours because halloween is my favourite time of the year! happy spooks everyone !!
disclaimer: everything written here is a work of fiction and is not affiliated with any real person whatsoever. the myths have been slightly tweaked to fit the  story therefore they might not align with traditional beliefs.
huli jing!renjun
you gaze in awe at kun’s words
‘really?’ you ask ‘those really exist?’
‘i don’t know about that, but don’t you go looking for them. they might not be kind.’
you nod your head vehemently 
‘of course not.’
lessons are boring in the village but sitting in the garden with kun and hearing his stories always cheers you up
‘...well, if i were to find one, how would i know?’ you ask
there’s a pause before kun laughs
‘a fox’s tail is not so easily hidden’
you puff your cheeks
that doesn’t help
the breeze is light today, the trees in various warm shades and the frogs sing their lullabies
you could stay here on the soft grass forever if you could
it’s calm and perfect here
but then the bell chimes two and you’re off to class again
you breathe in
you’ve heard of the huli jing before but what you didn’t know is the possibility they might be real
you shudder
you’ve heard far more tales than kun has told you about the fox spirits and their gorgeous tails, all nine of them golden
you know how they pose as beautiful people to lure the villagers out and then rip out their hearts and livers and inhale their essence - their hunger insatiable
but kun says they might not all be bad, some swallow the essence from nature, some might even help people
not all of them are bad
you scoff
who would ever believe monsters could be kind?
the story kun told you was about the old man living by the forest 
he said that the man once fell in love with a huli jing himself and was eventually betrayed
yet he still stays by the forest, praying for the safety of his long gone lover
you breathe out
you think you’ve had enough stories of these terrifying creatures
the breeze has turned cold, you notice, as you run back to class
the night is even colder
‘kun?’ you call 
he should have come back an hour ago
you gulp when you stare at the path to the forest beyond the faded red gates of the shrine
you just need to get to the first clearing - that’s where the woodsman’s settlement is
but what you don’t expect
is to find your brother and the woodsman in arms, eyes trained on a figure sitting lazily atop the cottage roof
and then you see the tails
they’re not golden but they glow pure white, lush and grand 
and although the boy they belong to is rather skinny, they give him a weighted look
you can’t hear them speak from behind the tree but they appear to be in disagreement
kun stands by, his face worried while the woodsman raises his axe
you don’t think you’re supposed to be seeing this
there’s a shout then a yell
then the fox is gone
you look around desperately - what if he’s near you, what if he attacks you?
but you see kun making his way towards the village and stumble into a bush to avoid them
you hold your breath till they pass you
you’ll follow them back at a distance - that’s it. you don’t want to get kun worried now
‘and why might you be here?’
you whip around to meet the boy with golden eyes
you let out a yelp, stumbling backwards only to trip over a shrub and onto the ground
he takes a step forward, crouching to meet your eyes
‘leave’
your heart is hammering but you can’t look away
he’s frowning but he looks absolutely ethereal - eyes, nose, lips and of course, his tails
‘i can feel your pulse, you know? i can lower it if you want’ he speaks softly
his voice is surprisingly civilized for a creature born of wild magic
‘i never ask them to be so fascinated with me’ he continues, his voice still low
you feel yourself drawing closer, your heartbeat no longer erratic
his tails are around you
and they’re as soft as they look, you find when one brushes your skin
‘you’re a pretty one’ he whispers 
his mouth is near yours and you can feel him breathe you in as he keeps his arms on either side of you
‘but i don’t play games with prey’
angel of death!jeno
you focus on the horizon beyond the fields
it’s hard to see when the moonlight is the only guide, night curling around your shoulders
the fog is thick, almost as if it’s smoke
you take a sharp breath
then you fire the first arrow
there are no heroes or villains in war - only victors
you’ve seen far too many die here, innocent souls
but death does not care for that
the battle spills over - the cause forgotten
and yet, people die for it
death might not even be that bad. in fact, he’s pretty cute
your eyes meet blue in the midst of battle and you clench your jaw
you don’t think it’s time yet
contrary to what everyone believes, death is not clad in black but in white
his eyes are icy blue and he holds a bow that appears to be made of grey mist
and would you dare say he’s handsome? 
only behind closed doors in hushed whispers, only to him 
but then again, the angels of death look different to all
and to you, he’s an archer
the soldier beside you falls, an axe to his chest and a pale arrow marked above it
has he marked everyone today?
a white arrow flies past you, the sound leaving an echo in your ears
you turn to find the boy - the angel, messenger, whatever he is - standing by the rock jutting out of the ground
he lazily fires his arrows, all of them hitting their marks
his eyes are brighter at night
the sounds around you are discordant
a cleave swings over your head, undoubtedly hitting someone marked
you drop low, inevitably nearing the messenger
‘are we fighting alongside each other now?’ you joke, your eyes keeping track of movement around you
‘i’m only doing my job’ he says quietly
‘why is it that we always meet, jeno?’
you fire three arrows at a charging swordsman
‘you should tell me that’
you chuckle
‘i missed you, if that makes it any better’ you say
he laughs, the sound otherworldly
it’s quiet between the two of you as the night rages on
‘will you mark me today?’
he turns to you, no particular expression on his face
‘will you run again?’
‘i might unless you tempt me.’
he frowns
there’s a silence that makes you lose your words
his hands are red but none of the blood his and you almost get a glimpse of his sharp teeth and hollowed eyes
‘you can run but only for so long till my arrows find you’
he leans closer, his breath chilling over your mouth and eyes ever glowing
‘i will claim you.’
‘i know’ you whisper, finding your voice again
he pulls back smiling, his teeth sharp
‘i hope you remember me the day you do’ you say before he parts, a low hum tuning its way to you in response
the mist curls around his fingers, the fields almost barren now
you’ve flirted with death before - several times actually
perhaps it’s time you stop running from him
witch!haechan
this is not where you’re supposed to be
this is definitely not where you’re supposed to be
you were running from your friends trying to steal your candy but you might have ran a bit too far 
you aren’t familiar with this part of the neighbourhood at all
you walk around aimlessly - how did you even get here?
the place has gone overboard with the halloween decorations - or perhaps no one’s home
the buildings are lifeless, some of the taller ones faded beyond repair
there’s something eerie about this place you can’t quite put your finger on
well till you run into a boy and make him drop all his books
‘ow...’
he glares at you
‘i’m sorry!’ you say, frantically picking his books up
he narrows his eyes at you as he stands up, as if he can’t quite figure you out
‘is that...blood?’
your eyes trail to your knees, strangely bloodied and bruised - perhaps you hit the ground too hard 
but funnily enough, you didn’t feel any pain until now
‘come on, my house is down the corner. i’ll get you some bandages’ he offers
‘oh, thank you...but i should really be getting home...’
‘it’s okay. you can repay me with your candy.’ he grins, his smile boyish and oddly comforting
you raise an eyebrow
‘alright. you can’t have more than one, though.’
‘aren’t you a little too old to be trick-or-treating anyway?’
‘it’s a uni event. aren’t you a little too old to be mooching candy off someone?’
‘there’s no age limit for that’ 
you laugh as he takes the books from you, leading the way down
‘i’m haechan, by the way.’
‘i’m (name).’
as if the neighbourhood couldn’t get any creepier, the mist here seems to glow green and the fireflies twinkle with a certain malice to them
haechan’s apartment, however, seems to have skipped halloween altogether and jumped straight into christmas
the lights are bright and colourful, with an odd fancy mask hanging from the doorframe
when you give him a look, he pouts
‘i don’t like the dark.’
he seems to be living alone, apart from a small black cat which comes hurling at you the moment you enter
‘woah’ haechan yells, removing the cat from you ‘what did jeno feed you? how are you so heavy?’
you laugh as he puts the cat down, bitterness never so apparent in a cat
the next to greet you is a frog, plopping right on the table by which you’re sitting
you gasp at it’s sudden leap, placing a hand over your heart
‘why do you have a frog?!’
‘excuse me? that’s my dad.’ he calls from the washroom
you shake your head
‘i’m kidding’ he adds later, thoughtfully
your eyes inevitably stop over the wonderfully coloured jars
some seem to have trapped light, some various shades of dark liquids and some shine like molten precious stones
‘you have to pay to touch that.’
you turn around to find haechan with bandages and some antiseptic
‘what are these?’
haechan pauses
‘uhm...juice?’
you tap your foot impatiently 
he sighs
‘okay you got me. that’s trapped starlight. had to travel a lot to find that one. oh, these eyeballs are just candy. i hope. aand that’s the crushed tooth of a kraken, that’s an angel’s elixir. ooh! this one’s fairy milkshake. i’ve got a lot of that, wanna try-’
‘what’
‘do you believe in all this?’ he asks
‘what does it matter if i do?’
he grins
‘what do you say about becoming a witch’s apprentice?’
‘are you kidding me right now?’
‘wait. let me care take of this first.’
he takes a colourless gel-like substance, rubbing it over your knee with two fingers
and after a few seconds, it’s like there was never even a wound
‘and now...’ he continues, fighting a smile
he proceeds to take a purple potion, pouring two drops over the floor
a black butterfly emerges, its wings burning as it flies up into its own oblivion
he looks up and finally smiles as if to say ‘see? i’m not lying. i’ve got more where that comes from.’
you stay quiet for a while, processing everything
‘why did you tell me this? aren’t you supposed to keep things like this a secret?’ you cross your arms
‘you look like someone who could stomach the extraordinary.’
he laughs
‘it’s okay if you don’t. i’ll make you forget all of this.’
you rapidly shake your head
‘i’ll be your apprentice!’
haechan tilts his head to the side
‘but don’t forget. everything comes at a cost’
you nod
it can’t be that bad
‘i’ll have to come here every night?’ you shudder
‘don’t worry’ he laughs ‘the ghouls and demons here are all afraid of me.’
you stare at him, petrified before he laughs at your face
‘really! you don’t have to worry about them.’
you shake your head, giving him another look
but you see it over and perhaps a little bit of adventure couldn’t hurt
you look at the boy beside you, his caramel skin and honey eyes hard to not stare at
you almost blush when he meets your eyes
you take the vintage feathered pen he offers, no doubt showing off his collection and sign the contract he presents you, your name glowing amethyst violet
and in your excitement you forget to check the contract, the binding contract
perhaps you will, after a few years
when you notice how everyone around you seems to grow old, never seems to  keep up with your energy
when you see your friends get married and have children yet you can’t seem to bother
when your friends are all wrinkled yet you look just the way you did years ago
perhaps you’ll ask to see the contract and gasp
you should have been more observant
after all, in the end, there’s only the witch and his apprentice
elf!jaemin
you don’t think your pumpkin latte is supposed to glow this way
you look to the server and back to your drink
you don’t think he sees it
he smiles and walks away leaving you to your oddly gold pumpkin latte, reflecting the major part of the sunlight right onto your face
you crane your neck to catch a glimpse of the brewer
it’s difficult when his back is turned to you but he looks so familiar
you take a sharp breath when you see his face
jaemin never told you he worked here
you smile to yourself when he almost spills the coffee over
you’re always smiling when it comes to him
ever since you had seen him on campus, there’s been something about him that wouldn’t let your mind escape him
but it’s not just his face or his starry smile and kind manners or the pointed ears - there’s something about him, something secretive
you don’t believe in fairy tales but he just might be one
it was barely summer when he first talked to you
something about an assignment which you didn’t mind lending him
and you found he’s more than all the girls lining up to see him and the same shining smile he gives everyone
in his jokes, in his laugh and the way he speaks and the way he treats everyone
it’s been a while since you’ve had a friend like this
but today he doesn’t look your away, dark circles under his eyes and a drudging rate of work
you figure you should greet him after work, buy him another cup of his beloved coffee
you take the same subway ride home after all
‘(name)?’
jaemin looks surprised, a little starstruck maybe
he smiles
‘how did you know i work here?’
you giggle
‘well...i didn’t. till you made me a glowing drink.’
jaemin’s ears turn red
‘it was- it was glowing?’
‘yeah! it was all golden and glowy.’
‘uhh..’ his voice breaks and he clears his throat ‘it’s a new ingredient we’re testing!’
‘it tasted just fine though’ you assure him
he scratches the back of his head, smiling wide ‘thanks’
you hope you don’t make it awkward when you blush at the way he smiles at you, or when he holds your hand to keep you from getting lost in the crowds
‘really? jeno? don’t tell me you like him.’
jaemin rolls his eyes
your cheeks feel hot as you try to stammer out an explanation
‘i- i don’t like him. i just- i just thought he was sweet to me last saturday, that’s all.’
‘you went on a date without telling me?’ jaemin huffs
‘it- it wasn’t a date!’
‘whatever’ jaemin pouts ‘i can’t believe you like someone other than me.’
you laugh it off, his smile brighter than the stars as usual
it’s hard to not close your eyes too as he rests his head on your shoulder in the lone train compartment
it’s so peaceful like this
‘(name)? can i tell you something?’
you hum in response
‘never mind’ he says, sitting up straight
he looks at you for a long few seconds, enough to make you blush, before tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear
he stands up all of a sudden
‘wanna dance?’ he says with a grin
‘right here?’ you ask, incredulous
‘what? there’s no one here!’
you return his smile and take his hand as he pulls you up into his arms
there’s no music but you hear songs - humming full of melody and sweet words
he laughs when he sees you trying hard to not step on his feet or the focus on your face till it’s finally gone when you get the hang of it
it’s so peaceful like this
suddenly you don’t know where the train leads
jaemin still smiles
‘i like you, you know that?’ he whispers as he twirls you, hands back on your waist to hold you
the dancing never ends
‘i like you too’ you respond, not knowing why
you can smell the flowers growing around the benches, their vines curled around almost everything
you hear the bees buzzing, looking for nectar
there’s moonlight above you, the silver light making jaemin’s hair glow
he leans in, his lips just brushing yours
‘thank you’ he whispers ‘for being truly kind to me’
it’s almost dawn - you can hear the birds chirping and the moonlight wanes
it’s so peaceful like this
you think if it’s jaemin, forever isn’t so empty
you take a step off the train
and the rest is history
zombie!chenle
‘what the heck is going on?’
 you eye donghyuck and renjun at each other’s throats on the floor
you tap your foot impatiently against the wood
‘(name)! renjun brought a zombie. get him out!’ donghyuck complains
you blink 
‘he what’
‘well, what if he doesn’t want to go away?’ renjun retorts
you gesture for the both of them to stop talking when you feel a presence right behind you
you let out a sound of surprise, falling to the floor to find a boy staring down at you
a stitch runs right across his face, his skin paler than normal; his left eye is oddly translucent and his hair is a dim blonde, and overall he looks rather impish
yet he still looks like a boy nonetheless
he bends, squinting at you and you squeak, your shock getting the best of you
a moment later, the three of them burst into laughter
you frown at them
‘what’s so funny?’
you get up and face the boy
despite his ghoulish features, he still has flesh and he looks like a boy as ever
‘i’m chenle!’ he greets you with a grin ‘hyung brought me here. and... uh... i think i broke your coffee table, i’m really sorry about that’ 
his grin changes to an apologetic frown
you poke his cheek and pull back immediately, distracted
‘oh, your skin’s really soft.’
‘yeah, i used to take care of it a lot.’
there’s a pause
‘wait a minute, you did wha-’ you huff, ‘renjun aren’t you scared to death of ghosts?’
‘ghosts, not zombies’ he crosses his arms
‘ghost or zombie, he’s still annoying’ donghyuck grumbles
you sigh at the two of them
from the looks of it, however, they’ve already befriended the boy
when you turn around, you find chenle busy with the housecat, picking her up and scrutinising her
‘what are you doing?!’ you ask, panicking
‘well, it’s been a while since i’ve seen these’ 
he looks at you with a smile so adorable you lose track of your thoughts for a few moments
you cough, pretending your heart didn’t just stop
‘how long have you been dead?’
‘i don’t know. a while, i guess. ooh, do you have a piano? i’ve missed those!’
you shake your head ‘i don’t think we do.’
‘that’s okay’ he grins, eyes strangely sparkling ‘ooh, do you have a basketball court? or a car? or maybe a coffee shop nearby?’
‘there’s one down the block, i guess’ you tilt your head ‘you’ve really missed life, huh?’
before he can say anything, donghyuck calls from the other room ‘hey bighead! we’re going shoppi- er- to the playgrounds or something!’
chenle laughs, the sound piercingly loud but oddly cheerful
you smile without realizing
you never knew the dead could be so full of life
chenle then turns to you to answer ‘of course i missed this!’
you pinch the bridge of your nose but you continue smiling
there’s something infectious about him...and it’s not the zombie part
then again, your house isn’t exactly a stranger to oddities
‘come with us!’ chenle says, grabbing your attention
‘okay’ you agree
you get back to the living room to get your coat, to find renjun lying on the sofa
you need to know this
you turn to him, narrowing your eyes
‘where in hell did you even get a zombie?’
renjun scratches his head
‘you know that old guy in the robes by the graveyard? the one who carries a staff around like he’s about to summon the dead? well, he actually did that.’
‘renjun, we live in the underworld.’
‘oh, right.’
ghost!jisung
‘please just let me haunt you’
‘no’
‘...okay’
you shake your head and groan
‘jisung! see? this is why you never get anything done? ghosts aren’t supposed to be polite’
the boy in front of you scratches his head, his skin translucent and eyes cast down guiltily
‘okay try your puppy form’ you say
‘that’s not a puppy’ he begins but tones down at your stare
he sighs
the big black dog stares back at you, fur curling into mist and eyes glowing red
he growls quietly before it eventually turns into a snarl, his teeth lethal
you yawn
the dog collapses into mist to reveal jisung once more, a rather pouty expression on his face
‘nothing scares you. that’s why this doesn’t work!’
‘you’re just too cute, jisung’ you frown
he blushes, a strange colour on pale skin
‘but i’m supposed to haunt the town. only the old ladies are scared of me. and i feel bad about that.’
you laugh 
jisung might just be the cutest ghost out there
‘i’m thinking...maybe haunting isn’t my thing.’
‘but you’re a ghost! why else would you be a ghost?’
he places his hand on his chin, concentrating on his thoughts
‘i can’t remember anything about who i was. maybe i’m not vengeful’
‘it took you all that thinking to realize th- actually, never mind. maybe you’re meant to enjoy things life has to offer...after death.’
‘honestly, that sounds like a... total killjoy.’
you stare blankly at him
‘sorry, i ran out of jokes.’
you laugh at his awkward smile, patting him on his head like you do
‘well, what are you supposed to do?’ he asks
‘i don’t know. i just talk to ghosts i guess.’
jisung shrugs, sinking further onto the grass
it’s a beautiful night tonight - every night has been sweet to you and jisung since you first met
this town is no stranger to ghosts and poltergeists
of course, no one but you realizes that
some of the ghosts, you make a friend out of, some, you’d rather avoid
and there’s jisung
you didn’t know what to expect when the ghost of a giant black dog suddenly transformed into a sleeping boy
you aren’t even sure what he is, but life’s been better with him around
he accompanies you to school, listens to you throughout the lunch break, makes snarky comments during class (that you’d rather not have) and tells you all the places to find the prettiest mushrooms
it’s the first time you’ve seen a spirit so attentive
usually they just lament over their lost life, thank you for listening and go back to haunting or whatever engages them till they can finally be at peace
jisung is...a little different
for starters, you can actually touch him without diving too deep into the realm of the dead
it’s like half of him is still alive
but the mist grows strong around him
‘how’d you learn to talk to ghosts?’ jisung asks, quietly
‘well, i almost died. then i realized i can exist in both the realms.’
‘that sounds...awful.’
you laugh
‘it’s not that bad. i found you.’
jisung blushes again, you don’t know how. does he even have blood?
‘hey, what do you think happens after you’re done being a ghost?’ you ask
jisung stops glaring at the frog near the creek to meet your eyes
‘are you trying to scare me?’
you laugh
‘just thinking.’
‘i like it here’ he says ‘i like everything even if i feel less than i used to.’
‘that’s good to know.’
jisung laughs, the sound boyish and full of a certain joy you can’t put together
it should be this way
two best friends enjoying their time in a town that never lives
finding new adventures every day 
listening to new songs and dancing to the wind
getting on doyoung’s nerves together (but doyoung, of course, thinks it’s just you)
confusing jeno at the flower shop or hitting renjun with harmless little stones when he’s not looking
you trying to scare jisung (which is almost always a success when it comes to cockroaches)
jisung always putting a smile on your face with how awkwardly he scratches his head and looks away when you compliment him
it’s as close to a friendship as you can get
but you know the truth
you remember that day everything changed
you remember the boy and his pet dog sailing with you, playing around the docks
you remember the storm and how you almost died
you remember letting the rope go and watching the boy sink to the abyss
you remember despair
you remember feeling numb the week after and more
it’s as clear as day
you look at jisung, his eyes closed and his figure resting on the warm grass
this is your repentance

Friends to Lovers ~ Huang Renjun
a/n: What even is a platonic friendship????? and also severely unedited
genre: bulletpoint-scenarios, teeth-rotting fluff, maybe a teeny bit suggestive, gender-neutral reader<3
warnings: none
Word count: 2,3k
Tumblr media
an anchor
that’s what you would call renjun
an anchor that kept you grounded when life got to rough
he was your childhood friend
I know that renjun always is a childhood friend in fics, but he just fits that concept so well, okayy??
you’d known each other since you were wearing diapers
renjun was two years your senior
and when it came to you, he had often taken an older brother-role 
he’d always make sure that you ate enough, got enough sleep, and as you got older he’d be more and more protective over you
he made sure that you had good friends that treated you right
and if anyone wanted to date you, they had to go through him first
although renjun was a quiet boy, he was rather popular among the girls
his prince-like looks and calm demeanor combined with his protectiveness when it came to the people he cared for made both boys and girls swoon
his friends were also really popular
they were seven boys including renjun
as a freshman, the university-life was a new experience to you
luckily, you were attending the same university as renjun, you even had similar majors (you were a pychology-major whilst he majored in sociology), meaning that you mostly had classes in the same part of the campus.
he was your saviour, litteraly
he showed up at your dorms every day to walk with you and make sure you didn’t miss your classes
he’d also always invite you to eat lunch with him and his friends, an invitation you usually accepted
it was lovely to have someone like renjun to watch out for you
but let’s be real
he could be a bit too overbearing
if someone he had a bad feeling about, which were practically everyone, tried to approach you, he’d be super clingy and keep them away from you
like the lengths he’d go to would suprise you
whenever someone were remotely interested he would practically glue himself to your side
which was why you were so suprised when you got a text from your friend telling that she had, with renjun’s blessing, set you up on a blind date
you looked over at said boy who was seated beside you
nudging his shoulder, you gave him a pointed look
“are you sure about this?”
his shoulders slumped and he let out a huff
you knew he understood what you were talking about
“I know that I’ve been somewhat overprotective. And, I know that you’re old enough to date, even if I don’t like it”
He sighed dramatically
“I have realized that it is time to let my child go”
you snorted at his antics, making him pout before turning back to his food
leaning onto his shoulder, you wrapped an arm around his waist
he tensed under your touch, but you just brushed it off
“thak you injunnie, it really means a lot to me”
he just huffed in response, paying more attention to Chenle and Jisung who was in the process of seeing just how many plastic-straws they could fit up Donghyuck’s nose, than your conversation
the day of your blind-date was quickly approaching, and unfortunately, so was your anxiety
your friend would constantly assure you that it was going to go amazing, and that you shouldn’t worry too much
but heheh
you did worry
big time
even though you were too embarassed to say it out loud, this was your first date ever
and that made this whole thing even more nerve-wracking
the day of the date you had your friend come over and you spent several hours just picking out clothes and making sure that you were looking your best 
when you were finally pleased with your appearance she walked you to the door
the whole way from the bathroom she tried to calm your raging nerves, assuring you that the person you were meeting was lovely, and that you’d love them
and then, off you went
walking to a nearby italian restaurant, where you were supposed to meet
whoooooo
boi were you ready to puke from nervousness
arriving at the restaurant you decided to wait outside
it was in the middle of August, so the weather was still pretty warm, and you’d rather not enter the restaurant alone
you looked at your watch
[ 6.57 P.M ]
it was still three minutes until you were to meet your mysterious date
and you could hardly stand still, thousands of images of how they might look floating through your mind.
[ 7.12 P.M ]
you were starting to become a bit anxious
brushing it off you told yourself that they were just running a it late, and that they’d be there soon
you pulled your jacket closer
carefully scanning the people passing by you
hoping to find someone moving in your direction
[ 7.34 P.M ]
By now it was obvious that your date wasn’t coming
and you were on the verge of tears
you quickly started making your way back to the dorms
praying to god that no one had seen you standing alone outside the restaurant for thirty minutes
ths was just your luck
imagine being stood up on your first date
what a catastrophy
you couldn’t help all the thoughts flooding your mind
maybe you weren’t pretty enough, maybe your height was wrong or maybe it was your personality?
but then again
how would they know that?
they didn’t even bother to show up
as soon as you got to your room your eyes finally started to water, breaking through the invisible barrier you had set up
with tears flowing freely, you flopped onto your bed
you immediatedly knew who to call
renjun
he picked up almost instantly, his smiling face filled the small screen
“hey! are you back already? wait... y/n, wha- why are you crying, what happened?!”
that only made more tears enter your vision as violent sobs wrecked through your body
“he... I- I got stood u-up”
renjun’s expression turned hard at your words
“that little-”
his words got cut off by another one of your sobs, and he turned his attention back to you
“hey, y/n, I know you, and i know for a fact that you’re blaming yourself right now”
All he wanted to do was to come over and hold you and tell you how amazing you are and make sure that you know that it wasn’t your fault that you’r date didn’t show up
“don’t you dare think that this is your fault in any way. It is Not.”
you looked up from your pillow at his voice
although his words were soft, you could sense an undertone of anger
“p-please don’t... don’t be ma-ad at me, please”
renjun’s expression softened
“hey, look at me. I’m not mad at you, okay?”
he took a shaky breath
“Never you”
you smiled sadly at him
“thank you, I- I don’t know what... what I would do without y-you”
silence
“hey, y/n..”
“hm?”
“don’t cry, please”
he hesitated
“also, I, uh, I think I might be in love with you”
your eyes widened at his words
so did his, when he realized what he had said
“renjun, I’m-”
“oh god, I’m so sorry y/n, I really didn’t mean to say that, I- I think I have to go now”
the phone-call ended with you feeling more troubled than you were in the beginning
you fell asleep almost instantly, exhausted by the days’ events
meanwhile rejun was absolutely FREAKING OUT
immediately he was like
Oh No
he had known you since you were born, and he definetly felt that he stepped out of line by telling you how he felt
he knew he’d proabably say it sometime, but he was not prepared to let you know now
his timing was also especially bad, considering your situation
he was beating himself up about the situation
big time
a little part of him couldn’t help but feel relieved though
he had finally said it
even though he hadn’t given you any time to actually respond
and that he knew that the chances of you reciprocating his feelings were slim
he was happy
he wasn’t sure when he first had realized that you meant so much to him
but, he had known it for a while
just passively sitting on the sideline and watching others flirt with you throughout all of high-school had almost droven him insane
but he knew that you saw him as an older-brother figure, and therefore he didn’t make any moves
at least not until now
the next morning, opening the door to your room, you felt a pang in your heart
of course renjun wasn’t there
poor baby was too embarassed to talk to you
it didn’t come as a shock after yesterday’s events, but it still kinda stung
walking to your first class you were determined to hunt him down at some point
you needed him to help clear up your mind
but boi, did you underestimate him
he’d even skipped a class because you were waiting outside the lecture-hall
like he tried his absolute best to avoid you
every time you’d gotten eye-contact with him, he’d turn bright red and scurry off in the opposite direction
throughout the day it became evident that he had told jeno about your situation
he’d send you knowing looks whenever renjun changed directions just to not run into you in the hallway
during the lunch you went over to the usual tabe where you’d sit with the rest of the boys
it didn’t come as a suprise that renjun mumbled some lame excuse about going to the toilet when sat down in your usual spot beside him
much to the others suprise
jeno finally pulled you aside
“hey, y/n, renjun has only told me a little bit of what happened between you, but I really thin that you should talk to him”
you let out a defeated sigh
“I know, I’ve been trying to get a hold of him all day, but he just keeps avoiding me”
your shoulders slumped and you  fumbled with the sleeve of your jacket
“I’ve seen that, I’ll try talk to him though, maybe I can get him to realize that he’s being stupid”
you smiled, although it didn’t quite reach your eyes
“thanks man, you’re an angel”
he threw you a wink before turning back to the table
just in time to see jaemin choke on his coffee that hyuck had destroyed with salt
it wasn’t until your last period that you managed to hunt renjun down
due to a headache, your criminology-professor had decided to let your class go early
running toward his’s social movements-class
you made it just in time to see him walk out of the lecture-hall
you knew he hadn’t seen you yet, as he was standing still, peacefully talking to jeno
so you took your chace
renjun’s eyes widened as he felt your familiar grip on his wrist
“Hey, jeno, I hope you don’t mind me borrowing renjun for a moment”
as you dragged him away, jeno’s laugh ecchoed behind you
you could feel that renjun had given up
he just silently followed you to the school’s roof
looking like a puppy that was about to get scolded
when you got to your destination your whipped around to face said puppy
his gaze was uncertain as he looked up to meet your eyes
“what do you think you’re doing???”
your question obviously caught him off guard as he started fumbling with the hem of his shirt
instead of looking at you he’s just spewing out apologies
and you’re just there like.. boi??
stepping closer, your hands find their way to his cheeks, softly cupping them
the movement startled him, and he looked at you with big eyes, moving between your mouth and your own eyes
he couldn’t even remember the last time you were this close to him
you slowly brought your face closer to his
pressing a feather-light kiss on his lips
OMG OMG OMG
and renjun’s mind just completely shuts down
the feeling of your body pressed to him, your lips on his
renjun thinks he might burst with happiness
when you pull back he’s amost unable to talk like
“what?? just?? happened????”
and you can’t hide the blush dusting your cheeks
“I... uh.. Ikindalikeyoutoo”
the words are rushed, as you just want to get it out as fast as possible
and judging by the shit-eating grin that was forming on renjun’s face, you know that he heard exactly what you said
but this lil’ rascal just goes
“I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that, could you repeat it?”
by now your face was the attractive colour of a fire-engine and you tried to hide it in your hands
renjun smiled fondly at your embarassed form, feeling as if he was flying
pulling your hands away from your face, he dipped his head down to make eye-contact with you
you looked up to see him pouting at you
“you don’t get to hide your beautiful face now that I can finally admire it without having worry about being caught”
you almost choked on your salvia at the statement, and he smirked
omg, he smirked - is that allowed???
he let his hands travel from your hands to your waist, trapping you in his embrace
your hands instinctively moved to his neck, tugging softly at his hair
the feeling of your hands against his neck making him shiver, mind going into a frenzy over the closeness of your bodies
he hummed softly
obviously enjoying th feeling of your hands playing with his hair
after a while of just enjoying the moment, adoring your face and reveling in the feeling of finally being able to embrace you
he eyed your lips as he whispered
“I don’t think you know how long I’ve waited to do this”
and he kissed you again

Rouge
Tumblr media
Pairing: werewolf!Jaemin x idol/werewolf!reader (mentions of other members ft. appearances by the dreamies)
Genre: fluff (pg-13 at most), fantasy/supernatural au
Word count: 4,391
Summary: Maybe the cute little pup from Rouge territory wasn’t so bad after all. or In which borrowing a jacket turns out to be a fateful encounter.
✎ A/N: Officially kicking off the Nyctophilia series with a story based on the dream that started it all. Hope you guys will enjoy it, and so excited to finally have some time to work on this. (Here’s to hoping the rest of this project will turn out alright~ because I’m not even sure if this one did☺) I also apologize that this one isn’t entirely gender neutral, but if you swap out like that one pet name, I’m sure it could be! I’ll try to keep the other ones more neutral, if I can.
Tumblr media
It felt like ages since you’d had some time off, and there was no better way to celebrate the end of your group’s promotional period than to visit your dear friends and kick back like the good old days. You had known your friends, Sayuri and Kaoru, ever since you were children. The siblings were the next youngest of the Blackwolf clan, after you, and the lot of you had many an adventure if your days as pups. Being part of the same clan, it isn’t impossible to think that the three of you had retained such a close friendship over time. They were almost like your right and left hands when it came to running the Blackwolf clan, of which you were the alpha. It was tough being both an idol and the alpha of one of the four major werewolf packs, but all was manageable with the right help and strategies. Incidentally, however, there was once almost trouble caused by Sayuri, who was caught with her mate from a rival pack, the Silveridges. But thankfully, that was then, and this is now; a new era of alphas have taken over since, and the peace treaty the clans came to an agreement over two years ago has yet to be disrupted.
And so here you are, visiting the prestigious company building your friends work at, the famous (and infamous) SM Entertainment. Meanwhile Kaoru had intensive training he couldn’t get out of, since he was still a trainee, Sayuri was off today, having opted for the still-chaotic yet freer lifestyle of working as a composer and lyricist. Though she did some freelance work as well, on occasion, this was where her office was. It was a lot more comfortable for you two to meet here than have to deal with being out in public, or risk running into any eager fans. As much as you loved and appreciated them, everyone deserved their rest now and again.
You’re both catching up in the lobby, really invested in a conversation (gossip, really) about something that happened within the clan when you hear people incoming. Quickly, you bot shift gears and continue your conversation with much less detail, using codewords when necessary, so as to not risk being exposed while freely out in the human world. Recognizing the passersby as NCT Dream, you rise from your comfortable position in the plush leather loveseat you’d been sitting in to bow to the senior group. They chuckle and tell you not to worry about formalities, all the while worrying you further when they opt to hang around in the lobby. Glancing at Sayuri, you both give a solemn nod, deciding it was better safe than sorry, and saving the rest of your conversation for a later time. Being polite, you make conversation with the group of tired boys sitting on the couch adjacent to you, finding out that they were taking a break from their upcoming album’s dance rehearsals. You nodded understandingly, having just finished your own promotions and knowing all too well the stress of comeback preparations.
You were just about to invite your friend somewhere, anywhere to continue your conversation out of earshot, desperate to hear the end of her story. Humans be damned, you needed to find out if the rumors about fellow wolves in the industry were true! But alas, you’re interrupted when Jaemin, one of the members of Dream, notices you shivering, as the air conditioning vent was just above your spot, leaving you with icy hands and chattering teeth.
“Oh no, I’m fine, really, but thank you so much for-” you start, only to once again be interrupted by the boy.
“It’s nothing, don’t mention it!” he beams at you, grabbing at the sweater lying next to his lap and wrapping it around your shoulders. As you look up at him, you take notice of his features: his pretty eyes, the slight pout of lips, even the grayish streak adorning the midsection of his bangs. It isn’t until Jaemin catches the scent of something familiar that you break from your trance. He grabs at your freezing hands with his own warmer ones, teasing you about how cute the flustered look on your face is at his actions. The other members have tuned out at this point, assuming he was being flirty and no longer held as much interest at your interactions as their conversation about dinner.
As he leans downward to speak to you from where he’s standing, barely an inch away from your own leg, he whispers gently in your ear, “I’d know that scent anywhere.”
Taken aback, you try to clear away the cobwebs forming where your coherent speech normally takes residence in your brain, offering a weak “What?” in response.
“You smell a lot like me, but yet so different. What clan are you from?” And that’s when his words sink in, flooring you at the realization. You’d been so concerned with hiding away from others that you’d forgotten the possibility of there being another like yourself, completely missing the scent of wet dog radiating off him as you’d mistaken it for sweat.
“Blackwolf,” you reply, not missing the way his smile grows tenfold while holding his gaze, “I moved here from the Noire territory up north not even a few years ago.”
“Ahh, so that’s why your scent was so powerful, you grew up within the territory, huh? You must be close to the alpha then, I’m assuming?” Jaemin slides past you to claim the spot beside you on the smaller sofa, both fascinated and intrigued at the revelation.
“Actually,” you rub your neck as your tongue nervously wets your lower lip, “I am the alpha.” A chuckle escapes you at the wide-eyed expression of the wolf next to you, tripping over his words due to the shock. “What clan are you from then?”
“I’m a Redfur, though I didn’t grow up the Rouge territory out west,” he admits, suddenly feeling shy in the presence of someone of such high regard. “You see the blonde boy with the little mole under his eye? That’s Jeno, he’s a Silveridge, we’ve known each other since we were in preschool.” He grins as he tells you this, obviously happy to have a friend and fellow werewolf on his team, never having to worry about feeling left out, and being able to speak to one of his own right from home. You kind of envied him, in a way; sure, you had your two friends, but they weren’t your bandmates, let alone labelmates. As he looks over at you two suspiciously, having caught wind of his name, you wave at him, to which he simply offers a shy smile. Hearing the all too familiar clan name reminds you of an interesting story.
“You know, my friend over there,” you nod your head in Sayuri’s direction on the recliner opposite from your spot, “her mate is a Silveridge. They’ve been together since before the treaty.” Jaemin eyes her curiously, almost as if he had just noticed her presence. The word “mate” clicks, his mouth slightly agape as he puts two and two together.
“So, you’re a Blackwolf as well, then. I knew there had to be more of us in the industry, but to think we’ve worked together before and I never even knew you were a fellow wolf,” he shakes his head as Sayuri laughs, “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well.”
“Likewise,” she replies in turn, “I had a feeling an NCT member or two had some, how do I put this… otherworldly energy? But I wasn’t sure if any of you were specifically werewolves, much less two of you.”
“There are like eight of us wolves, now that I think about it, though we don’t have a single Blackwolf yet. Care to join our humble Neo Culture Technology, princess?” The pet name sent your way throws you off-kilter, clearing your throat before you speak.
“As sweet as that offer is, I’m afraid I can’t just abandon my own group before we even make it to our second anniversary.”
“Then maybe you can accept my offer to join me in the café downstairs? I’d love to get to know more about the girl who stole my favorite jacket, if that’s alright with you…?” Jaemin is hesitant as he takes his shot, his lower lip nestled between his teeth as he anxiously awaits what words will leave your mouth. You glance over at Sayuri, who simply smirks in response before nodding your way, mumbling for you to “get lost” so that she can go check up on her brother, very likely an excuse to let you two be.
As she passes by you on her way out of the lobby, she sends a playful jab your way, reminiscing about how she had been ruthlessly teased for having a mate from another clan, reminding you that it would soon be your turn, should you end up with the Redfur after all.
The two of you politely excuse yourselves, embarrassed by all of the noise his bandmates make upon realizing that you’d be leaving together. You’re still wearing his sweater, which he refuses to take back, so you slip your arms through the sleeves to prevent the oversized garment from falling off your body. While chatting on your way to the café, you start to reminisce your days as an SM trainee before ending up at Loen. After some back and forth of trainee tales, you both come to the conclusion that the reason you’d seemed familiar to one another was that you used to be trainees around the same time, having had class together but never interacting before today. Jaemin later reveals that most of his bandmates aren’t actually human, and you’re left speechless, in disbelief until he starts listing them off.
“You already know about Jeno and I, but there are about six other wolves, as well as a variety of species amongst us. We had two humans, but one was recently bitten by a vampire, so now we’re down to just poor Mark,” Jaemin laughs, recalling the time Mark found out about that little fact.
“So, wait, mind if I ask who exactly…” you start but trail off, unsure just what you wanted to ask, let alone how to phrase your question. He holds the door open for you, only stepping in once you’ve passed ahead, and gently releases his hold on the door.
“I’ll explain everything you want to know, let’s just order first, alright?” Whispers spread like wildfire when you both walk in, next thing you know, you’re already at the counter across from the barista.
“And how may we help this adorable couple today?” the barista asks, almost smugly. You quickly try to interject, offering a denial, but Jaemin just eats up the attention, taking it almost as praise. He rattles off his order from hell, pardon, his chaotic mess of a coffee, with a sandwich before asking what you wanted to order. You try to insist on paying for your own, but he’s having none of that; realizing that he won’t budge, you sigh as you give in, telling the barista your drink of choice and asking for your own sandwich. The silence as you wait for your meals, if you could call them that, was painfully dull, a complete 180 from your previous time spent together. You can overhear a staff member or two muttering about how you two are “just so cute” and how they “envy young puppy love”, the latter unconsciously making your eye twitch.
“Thank you and come again! Have a great day,” the barista adds as he hands over your orders.
“We’re not-”
“She’s just shy, it’s ok,” Jaemin calmly states, picking up your food and walking off to a faraway table tucked into the lonesome corner of the café. He ignores the glare sent his way, his shit-eating grin plastered nearly from ear to ear. You follow him and sit down in the booth across from him, gratefully accepting your share. As you begin to unwrap your sandwich, he stands up again, decidedly grabbing his things before announcing that he’s got a better idea. “The practice room should still be empty right now, why don’t we sneak in there to eat, so I can tell you all about the others?”
_________
Cross-legged on the floor, you’re both sitting barely inches apart from one another as Jaemin recounts all of his inhuman bandmates to you. “For starters, there’s Taeyong who’s the Redfur alpha, he’s almost like a dad to me. Lucas and Kun are Goldensnouts, the latter being the alpha of their clan. Jeno is a Silveridge, but so is Jaehyun,” he pauses to eat, or rather inhale, half of his sandwich before taking a sip from his murky, liquid concoction.
“What a day, I get to meet another werewolf and find out there’s been a whole horde of you just under my nose. That’s lovely, just lovely,” you dramatize, hearing the boy beside you chuckle into his drink as his knee playfully knocks into yours.
“Relax, it’s not so bad. Maybe you’ve just got a weak nose, for an alpha,” he jests, wiggling his brows at your flared nostrils. “Where was I? Ah yes, the rest of the members,” Jaemin starts off, continuing to list from the vampires through the rest. You find out that Renjun is a pureblood vampire, whereas Yuta who was a human, was recently turned, and therefore needs to be extra careful with sunlight. Speaking of, Renjun’s fascination for aliens comes to light as he explains that Winwin and Yangyang are both actually from a planet known as Scorlirsus, having crash landed and yet to find a way back. Then there’s Haechan, who is apparently a demigod, the sun of Apollo at that, which gives his Fullsun nickname a whole new connotation. From half-demons to sorcerers, from sirens to angels; besides the abundance of wolves, there are so many different species that you end up to losing track of them all. Except for poor Mark, who makes for an exceptionally talented human.
Another moment of silence springs up as you finish your drinks, only this one is a lot more comfortable, enjoying the presence of newfound company between your shy gazes and small talk. “Oh, you have something, right there,” Jaemin points out, breaking the silence. Before you know it, thumb reaching towards the edge of your lips as he wipes at the dried hot chocolate there before licking his finger clean. You’re dumbfounded at how casual he is about it, as if he didn’t just indirectly lick your face, then again, the gesture would be a lot less weird to wolves than to humans, so you simply shrug it off. Just about ready to toss out your trash, Jaemin grins mischievously your way as he aims his straw in your direction.
“Would you like a taste of my coffee, princess?” Two options, you realize, two options are all you have. Either taste his infamous coffee like a champ, or risk another jab at being a weak alpha for not being able to handle a little coffee. You nod, bracing yourself for whatever the taste of that drink from hell may be like, only to be utterly surprised instead.
In the blink of an eye, his drink is forgotten on the practice room floor, one of his hands on the floor beside his leg to balance him as the others lightly grips the back of your neck, holding you in place as he brings his lips to yours. Smooth, is all you can think as his tongue slides across your mouth, indirectly allowing you to taste his drink as he drinks in your lips instead. Once again, he’s teasing you for the blush on your cheeks, cooing at how adorable he finds it; but all you can do is laugh, because it’s not like he was faring any better. Jaemin’s eyes bore into yours, wordlessly asking for permission to kiss you again, to which you respond in turn by meeting him halfway, just as eager.
Rather than one deep kiss, you both share a series of softer kisses, an almost childish air to the way he handles you. As you slide over, wanting to get a little closer, he pulls you to sit onto his lap instead, placing an innocent kiss at the skin of your exposed shoulder before resting his head in the crook of your neck. His hands are running through your hair, the world feeling like it slowed down until only this moment was occurring. In the dead silence, your brain comes up with an idea, and it isn’t long before it uncontrollably tumbles out of your mouth.
“Do something crazy with me?”
“And what would that be, princess?”
“Run away with me,” you take a deep breath before continuing, “just for a little while. Let’s escape this stuffy company, our schedules, everything. Let me show you a beautiful place not far away.” Your eyes are downcast as you play with his hands, unconsciously holding your breath as you wait for a response. To your surprise, Jaemin beams a beautiful smile your way, his crinkling eyes the sign of genuine happiness.
“Lead the way,” his deep voice rumbles low in his chest, no hesitancy as he chooses to follow you wherever you shall lead, placing a kiss on the back of your hand to seal the deal. You’re both rushing to toss your trash out before running downstairs again, chasing each other not unlike the way two puppies would when playing around. It’s already late when you both sneak out from the company, the stars shining brightly overhead as you both shift into wolf forms once you're at a safe distance away from the craziness of the building, safe from any possible prying eyes.
You both run on and on for awhile, playfully bumping into one another on purpose or pushing a snout towards the other, before eventually arriving at your destination; a beautiful field of flowers far away from the city, where all the stars are visible and no one is around to bother you. After cooling off some from the long voyage, you end up laying side by side, still in your wolf forms as you don’t often get to have the luxury to be so free. Taking in the view of the large mass of red beside you, you take note of the beautiful rouge coat Jaemin is sporting, a colorful contrast to the sleek black fur you were donning. His golden eyes bore into your own, a light blue so pale it appears gray, akin the gleam from the moon casting down from overhead.
What would appear to anyone else as barking and whining is the result of both you and Jaemin conversing, talking about anything and everything, and he thanks you for taking him somewhere so beautiful and peaceful. Exchanging a nuzzle or two before ending up turning to lay almost as if you were spooning, only you’re all curled up, just barely laying atop him, you revel in the comfort you receive solely from being around one another. Perhaps the phrase “puppy love” wasn’t as bad as you’d always thought, maybe it was that feeling of finally finding someone they click well with, or a chance encounter with their mate.
You had both unintentionally fallen asleep under your favorite tree, deep in a peaceful slumber as your chests rise and fall with each breath, waking up just as the sun is about to begin its ascent. You’re the first to awake, blinking the sleep from your eyelids as you look down and take note of hands where paws had been, wondering when you’d both transformed back, and silently praying there wasn’t mud all over Jaemin’s jacket. Realizing you better head back in case people had already realized that Jaemin was missing all night long, your attempt to wake up the sleeping boy. Try as you might, it takes great effort to even get him to open his eyes, let alone stand up. He slowly stretches out before laying flat on his stomach, head tucked into his arms, and you’re forced to poke and prod until he lets out a loud whine, almost as if to say just five more minutes, mom. Opting for a different approach, you turn him over so that his head is in your lap, brushing the hair out of his eyes as you do so.
“Good morning, sleeping beauty,” you quip.
“’s not even sun up yet,” Jaemin slurs, rubbing sleepily at his long lashes.
“We have to head back before anyone realizes we’ve been out all night, do you really want to risk getting into trouble right before your comeback?” He hums as you run a hand through his blonde tresses, looking up at you almost with a sparkle in his eyes at the sight before him.
"Responsible,” he murmurs, “no wonder you’re the alpha.” You’re not sure whether that was a compliment, but choose to take it as such regardless, as being the alpha did require a lot of determination and patience. There’s no rush to the way Jaemin gets up, taking his sweet time as if he had all of it in the world, placing a soft press of his lips to your forehead before he’s on all fours, ready to transform again. Following suit, you join him on the ground, a similar scene to the night before playing once again as the two of you make your way back to the company building.
Things are surprisingly calm as you both shake the dirt off your human bodies, successfully sneaking back into SM and quietly reaching that abandoned practice room in desperate need of remodeling you’d used as a dining room the night prior. It isn’t long before the two of you are crashing onto the raggedy couch together, exhausted from your interrupted sleep as well as all the travelling. This time, when you wake up, your limbs are entangled with your face in his chest, having been found by Jaemin’s fellow members of Dream. Being teased by said Dreamies wasn’t the optimal way to wake up, far from it, really; all four of them were utterly noisy, until Jaemin shoot up and protectively wraps an arm around your shoulders, tucking you into his side. You swear you hear light snores still escaping him as his head lays on your shoulder, half of his chest pressed into his back as he can’t hold his own weight up.
In the meantime, you take to chatting with Jeno, getting to know more about himself and his pack, learning a lot about this giant, intermingled group of beings. When you ask Renjun about vampires because you're curious, you explain that you had only ever heard of them, having yet to meet one in person. He prattles off about basics before getting distracted by Jisung and his haphazard shapeshifting, and you wonder how poor Mark ever dealt with being the de facto leader of this misfit group of teens, let alone doing so while being the only one without supernatural abilities. The boys have to head off again to practice, and you shake Jaemin awake, not gentle in the slightest as you treat him almost like a glowstick. He asks for a moment with you, the others teasingly making smooching sounds before high-fiving amongst themselves and walking out, warning him that if he wasn’t at practice in five minutes that they’d tattletale about his night away from the dorms. The threat hangs loosely in the air after they vanish, however.
“Thanks for letting me nap on you,” he smiles cheekily as he stands up. “I do have a serious question though,” Jaemin clears his throat, “I know we just met and all, but I have a feeling we get along really. There’s still time to figure things out, but I was kind of sort of hoping that maybe you felt the same way and that maybe… you’d like to go out sometime?” A whole nap in a secluded forest later and the boy is still shyly rocking on his feet as he officially asks for you to be his. You disguise the snort you let out as a cough, standing up as well now to look him properly in the eyes.
“I would love to go out with you again sometime, Jaemin.” Quickly exchanging numbers before he has to run off for practice, Jaemin is almost at the door when he comes running back, stealing one last kiss as his hands cup your face, wide awake at the burst of energy coursing through his veins at his elatedness to your response.
“Guess we’re mates now, it’s official,” he jests, winking at you as he lets out a short giggle. Your cheeks are too smooshed to reply, so you opt for jokingly rolling your eyes at him instead. “And the alpha at that… tell me, am I really that charming, princess?” He whines as you swat at his arm, the harmonious laughter of two young souls falling in love oozing in the otherwise dreary room. You’re disrupted by someone clearing their throat, taking note of the figure standing in the doorway.
“Hey Jaemin, I just got back. Renjun sent me to-” the boy you now recognize to be Haechan freezes as he takes in the sight before him, quickly switching into an almost condescending demeanor. “Aww, did the little Reddie finally find is mate?” Haechan freezes mid-laugh where he had been walking over, recognizing you as his idol crush when he walked close enough to see your face. “Oh, you have got to be kidding me!” His incessant whines fall upon deaf ears, too busy laughing at how quickly his moods changed. With a pat on the back, you usher your now boyfriend and potential mate along with his bandmate out the door, mentally preparing yourself for the berating your charming pal Sayuri was sure to deliver, all the while snuggling deeper into the jacket still clinging to your form, comfortably wrapped in his scent.
While the future is never clear and life may be unpredictable… things were certainly about get a lot more interesting with these troublemakers around, that much was certain.

Hesitate ➳ Renjun
an : so here’s the first part to my chasing happiness inspired scenarios. the title is the song it’s based off of, lyrics are in italics. please enjoy :) (and if you want to give the song a listen while you read here’s a spotify link) 
jeno | haechan | jaemin | chenle | jisung |
Tumblr media
Just tell me where to start
renjun didn’t know where he was going or what he was going to do when he left the dorms that night 
he just knew he’d had enough, he needed to get away.
 The past few weeks had left him emotionally drained, tired, and confused. He felt like he wasn’t doing enough, that he wasn’t enough 
and those were the thoughts that were rushing through his head when he stood at the waterfront, staring out into the water. He didn’t know why he’d chosen to go there, but it felt like the right place to fall apart
And he did. He feel to his knees and he cried and he ran his hands over face in his hair trying to rub away all the bad things he was feeling 
it didn’t work though. So he collapsed and stared up the sky, wordless, motionless, and nearly breathless 
that’s how you’d found him. When you’d taken your dog out for a walk that night, you decided to walk to the water, but you weren’t expecting to find anyone else there at this time at night 
I thank the oceans for giving me you
you didn’t know if you should intervene when you first saw him. he was a stranger after all, and he was clearly having a very private moment 
this was a concept lost on your dog, who wanted to get as close as possible to the stranger on the ground 
when renjun finally noticed you, he sat up and wiped at his face, but didn’t say anything, probably hoping you’d go away
and you probably should've left. But you didn’t. Instead you cleared your throat to signal that you were coming closer and when your dog was nearly within head-pat distance from renjun you murmured a quite ‘he’s friendly’, which renjun responded to by letting the dog sniff him and eventually petting him 
eventually, renjun acknowledged you, and after a few minutes of somehow saying nothing and everything to each other, you sat down next to him, your dog filling the space between the two of you . 
it was a weird start, but by the time you finally told renjun you had to go, you felt a little sad that you were leaving someone you felt oddly connected to in the short amount of time that you knew him. 
when he quietly asked if he could see you again tomorrow night, and you told him that you would meet him in the same spot, same time, you both felt a bit excited 
You saved me once, now I’ll save you too 
you didn’t know it at the time, but that interaction had meant everything to renjun. sure, you hadn’t ‘cured’ his sorrows and worries, because really that wasn’t possible for any person to suddenly do, but you made the load a little easier for him to carry 
the two of you continue to meet, and knowing that he was going to be seeing you at the end of the day made each day a little bit easier for him 
he didn’t know when it happened, but seeing you became his saving grace on his hardest days, and so finally he asked to see you during the days
he got your number and would text you throughout his days as much as he could whenever he had breaks 
it became obvious to the other members that there was someone special in his life, so finally when jaemin slyly asked who was texting and renjun confessed about how he met you and how you helped him get through emotions he didn’t understand, the boys tackled him in a hug, telling him ‘we’re so happy for you junnie’ and ‘we knew something had to happen to bring you back to happy jun’ among other happy remarks
I won’t hesitate for you 
when renjun brought you to meet the boys, his mind was about to explode at the sight of all of his favorite people interacting. 
renjun realized you were one of the most important things in the world to him, not just because you had saved him from when he was at a low point, but because you continued to stick by him and never treated him differently 
and that made him fall in love with you. so he did everything he could to show you that, from spontaneous dates, to him sending you flowers when he’s not around to see you. you were important to him, just as he was important to you.

because he knows the school so well
“to the right you’ll see the elementary school playground! the flooring is non-slip so you don’t need to worry about your kids falling if they’re outside on wet days!”
[cut to: a bunch of high schoolers Including Mark during the last few minutes of lunch break on a rainy day, pretending to ice-skate and pulling each other on ‘non-slip’ flooring in the playground and very much.    slipping]
he knows teachers
also he’s a really good conversationalist and has mastered the art of small talk
especially with adults
adults love him lol
“MARK LEE TOOK HOW MANY APS?????”
“too many, brenda. too many .”
honestly didn’t have to, considering his major
but he was initially going into stem before switching halfway through sophomore year
a really hardworking boy
couldn’t feel the stress because he was already so stressed so it didn’t make much of a difference
renjun pinched him once while mark was spacing out during a study session and mark didn’t even flinch
it was worrying
mark lee?  
More like .       
mark.        Bee.
get it because the saying busy bee and mark lee and mark bee
i’ll stop
had a bunch of after school activities
so sometimes he would get home by six or seven pm
the latest was eight
always used the school guitar
there was a column on a guitar sign-out sheet where students had to write their name, grade, class, date, and time they took the guitar
and then!
there was a column titled Mark Lee
honestly everyone felt. Very empty when he left
like it was really weird for the younger grades to Not hear a random burst of laughter in the next room
and being like
“yup it’s mark again”
“how much do u wanna bet how lame the joke was?”
“bold of u to assume there was even a joke in the first place for mark lee to laugh like that”
the dreamies miss him and they stay in touch, obviously
they try facetiming him during school so that six of them can be together when they do, but it’s difficult when mark’s on the other side of the world and is also really busy
“are they nice to you there?” “are college students scary?” “i’m surprised they haven’t kicked you out yet, with how annoying you are”
mark ignores the latter statement (made by none other than hyuck) and smiles at the screen. or, at least, the dreamies think he smiles. the connection is pretty bad.
“they’re nice to me,” he responds. “do you guys remember jaehyun? he was there like. three years ago? basketball captain?”
the boys go silent.
“what grade were we in...” jaemin mumbles suddenly.
jeno’s eyes are wide. “were we even alive?”
“i don’t have enough fingers for this.” jisung chimes in.
“you’re all idiots.” renjun sighs.
hyuck quickly attempts to calculate everything in his head. “oh, we were like. sixteen. or fifteen? so just starting high school.”
chenle scrunches his nose. “the american system is super confusing.”
mark stares blankly at them.
“why do you ask, is he beating you up?” “without us!?” “how rude.”
mark doesn’t even remember what he was supposed to tell them, a smile growing on his face as he watches them collectively yell statements and battle cries they were never going to live up to. his heart stings with homesickness, but it’s soothed with endearment as the kids soon scramble to end the call when the school bell rings on the other end.
jaemin: “oh CRAP i have a test! i totally forgot to study!”
jeno: “i have to go, smith is going to kill me if i end up late for class”
renjun: “smith loves you, what are you talking about”
chenle: “hah, suckers, i have study hall~!”
jisung: “shut up, chenle, we all know you do nothing”
chenle: “says the one who watches asmr for an hour and thirty minutes straight!”
jeno: “okay bye, mark, we’ll talk to you soon!”
jaemin & hyuck: “love you!”
hyuck: “tell this jaehyun fella that he can’t beat you up!”
jisung: “not without us!”
renjun: “okay, bye!!!!!! we miss you!!!!!!”
“you’re all impossible,” mark says with a grin. “okay. don’t have too much fun without me!”
the kids all chorus their farewells, but it soon ends up being a competition on who can scream their love for him the loudest. the last thing mark sees before the call finally ends is jisung’s enlarged nostrils with chenle’s manic laughter in the background.
the screen goes black.
call has ended.
he looks at his reflection for a few moments, homesickness coming in full force. he turns his phone off, takes his earphones out, and leans his head back.
jaehyun, who’s across from him, smiles knowingly and sadly. 
“homesick?”
“dude,” mark breathes, throwing his hood over his head and pulling it over his eyes to keep everyone in the library from seeing his reddening, watery eyes, “dude, you don’t even know.”

the one with the step stool.
Tumblr media
nakamoto yuta x reader // barista!au // enemies to lovers!au
summary: in which you and yuta are coworkers and he finds it funny that you can’t reach the things on the top shelf
Tumblr media
lets get this started then
can I just say
you absolutely adored your job
like most people hated their jobs? not you
working at the quaint coffee shop was the highlight of your day; talking to the old ladies who came in for morning tea every week, having friendly debates with the suits who came in during rush hour as you made their coffees, fun discussions with the other students and making new close friends with your coworkers
all in all, work was great
was
over the summer, when it started to get really busy as the weather looked up, your manager started hiring some new summer staff
enter yuta
okay not gonna lie the first time you saw him you thought he was hella attractive and couldnt wait to work with him
but that was until he began openly flirting with all the customers, and boasting to one of your coworkers about how much money he got in tips from it
and honestly, it began to piss you off
who the hell does he think he is
he was so cute and flirty with all the customers but so teasing when it came to you
and no it wasn't cute you hate the guy shut up
“y/n can u stop staring at my ass” “im trying to see how many muffins are in the case, asshole”
“hey y/n,,, like what you see?” “I wasn't even looking at you until you said my name wtf”
and no he wasn't a fuckboy!!!!! but he was definitely flirtatious
“y/n you missed a spot” “no I didnt I just finished wiping this table down” “no, not that,,, the bit of drool,, from looking at me” “oh my god shut up”
most of the time u worked the machine whilst he was on registers
but one of the other girls in the back went away on a holiday, so u started covering her in the office
which meant you had to be able to reach all the files in the top cabinets
and okay,, you weren't SHORT per say... but u were sorta
vertically challenged
and Yuta had taken it upon himself to help bully you whenever you needed ingredients from the top shelves when u were in the kitchen
so watching u try and reach for the files every day made him cACKLE
literally it was the funniest shit to him
“do u need a hand” “oh uh, yes please” “come on y/n just take it” “YOURE HOLDING IT OVER YOUR HEAD YOU LITTLE SHIT I CANT REACH IT”
anyway
one day you come in to work
and you roll your eyes at him when he sends you a grin from the registers
and roll your eyes even hARDER when he winks
when u walk into the office you're working in, theres a small pink step stool sitting on the desk, heart and rainbow stickers stuck all over it
theres also just a pile of glitter sitting on the top, like not glued on or anything, just sitting in a pile on the black surface
immediately your smile drops and you turn around in a fit of rage, and he's already standing there smugly, his arms crossed as he leans against the doorframe
“nakamoto yuta i am going to KILL you” you march up to him, your eyes shooting daggers
his eyes widen a little as you stand as close as possible to him, your finger pointed at him “you're such an asshole you know that?”
his smile never falters “you’re really cute when you're mad”
in a huff, you stomp back to your desk, grab the step stool and set it down at his feet
he laughs softly at your actions and watches as you stand on the stool confidently
“bet im not cute anymore”
he shakes his head at you and leans back quickly to make sure he’s not going to get in trouble for abandoning his work
“nope” he assures you
not gonna lie,, it kinda hurt
he saw the smile falter on your face
“well, uh... good, I-”
he glances down at the stool, before dragging his eyes up to your face, hovering above his “not cute exactly, I'd say more hot, but it’s whatever” he grins cheekily at you as he watches the small, shy smile appear on your face
“um? thank you?” you let your hands drop and you keep eye contact as you step off the stool and kick it forcefully into the corner of the room
he doesnt leave
“dont you have something better to do? like, idk, your job?”
“shouldn't I be asking you the same thing?”
“whatever yuta”
later that week, you’re collecting your payslip from the box theyre kept in  after your shift when yuta joins you
for once in his lifetime, he doesnt make any jokes as he easily reaches up and grabs it for you from above the cupboards
he huffs dramatically as he searches for his from the box “why can't they just do it in alphabetical order or something wtf”
“im sure its there somewhere”
“I can't find it”
“just grab it next week then”
“I can't, this is my last week”
“you're quitting?” you stop, looking up at him, instantly feeling as if it was your fault
he sent you a small smile because of ur concern, and continues looking through the box “no, im only summer staff, remember? and last time I checked, this is the last week of summer”
“so, you're not going to work here anymore” you couldnt believe it
“pretty sure thats what it means, yeah” he looked amusedly at you
when you didnt respond: “you gonna miss me, shortstack? no one to get the files down for you”
you snorted, “doubt it, and besides, I have a stool”
but to tell the truth, part of you was going to miss him
you continue to rifle through the pile you have in your hands and you find his
“this is yours right?” he looks up and makes to grab his payslip from you
“come on yuta just take it” you mock as you hold it out away from him
he reaches out to grab it and you move your arm behind your back, and he doesnt hesitate to reach around you to try and get it back
“um” you start, when both of his arms are wrapped around you, trying to snatch the envelope from your hands
it wasn't because you were freaked out because this wasn't normal, it was because you were freaked out because it did feel normal
it felt like he should always have his hands wrapped around you
and you didnt mean to ruin it;
he stopped instantly, taking in your position
you were standing there, one of his arms holding you to his chest to prevent you from moving, as his other reached for your hand
your other hand was resting on his shoulder as he bent down slightly to reach down your back
you stayed like that for a moment; trying to gage each other’s reactions
because if he wasn't lying; he was quite enjoying how flushed he made you, and how cute he thought your habits were while you were working
and how pretty you looked every morning when you walked in, and how you still looked gorgeous at the end of the day
okay okay maybe mAYBE yuta had a slight thing for you
but you would never take him seriously because of his constant flirting
“sorry” he pulled his arms away from you, taking a small step back
“no, no, um- here” you offered him the payslip
he took it, nodded and left
okay what the fuck just happened
did u have a thing for yuta
surely not
okay maybe
yes?
well this wasn't supposed to happen lol
the following week, after four days of not seeing yuta working with you, and with your friend coming back you were working the machine again, so u felt extra lonely
dont get me wrong, like your other friends were great, but you couldnt help miss him
especially with the small moment you'd had only a few days ago
the days passed much slower, but you continued your work diligently
“one regular iced mocha please”
your head shot up at his voice, and he sent you a wide grin as he met your eyes, then focused back on the girl serving him, grabbing out his wallet from his pocket
he stood waiting for his coffee beside the machine
“how have you been?” you tried to sound casual, not wanting to let on how excited you were to see him
he smiled happily “good, tho I miss working here”
“is that why you're back so soon”
“actually...” you looked up as you waited for the machine to finish pouring the hot liquid into a cup
“I wanted to ask if you were busy after your shift”
you felt a smile creep up on your face
you nodded happily, biting your lip to stop him from seeing your obvious reaction
“you still finish at 3 on Fridays right?”
“yeah” you blushed a little and began to focus on your coffees again
“iced coffee for,, hottest man alive?” you frowned at the docket you'd been handed
“wow y/n thats not necessary but thank you” he laughed and stepped closer to collect his coffee
“nakamoto yuta i will-”
“kill me? okay, y/n, but you’ve gotta wait” he checked the time “seven minutes until your shift ends”
seven minutes later, you hung up your apron and grabbed your things, stashing them on the chair beside yuta, as he stood up to leave
“I just have to grab my payslip” you turned around to rush to the backroom
“I got it” 
you cocked your head confusedly at him 
he held it up, then moved it to above his head
you jutted your hip out and crossed your arms over your chest, unimpressed
he lowered his hand, offering it out to you, level with his chest
quietly, he said “come on y/n just take it”
you cocked an eyebrow at him and reached out to grab it, but he grabbed your wrist with his free hand, pulling you into him, and bending down to reach your face, he closed the gap between your lips
you stood there, surprised, before you felt yourself smile and kiss him back
your hands forgot about the payslip and moved around his neck, pulling him against you
he moved the hand with your payslip in it around you waist, supporting you
he pulled away and you pouted at him
“dont give me that look, I came here to take you on a date, not just make out with you”
“funny, I like the second idea more” you mumbled, stashing your payslip into your bag
“hey it took me two months to work up the courage to ask you out, you’re not throwing my date away this easily”
you grabbed his hand as you stepped out onto the sidewalk
“really? two months?”
he laughed as he lead you down the busy street
“you have no idea”
