mark lee x reader, super fluffy bc this is my literal bf and he makes me want to cry 25/8
a/n: mark brainrot has been so bad lately the delusions are getting to me
“where do you wanna go for lunch today?” you asked your boyfriend, who was currently mindlessly scrolling through his phone.
it was mark’s day off from his tour, leaving you and him to explore chicago on your own. like the lovely significant other you are, you decided to treat mark out for lunch as a way to reward him for all the hard work that he’s been doing.
“uhm,” he thought for a second before letting out an awkward laugh. “i don’t really know what’s around here.”
you thought about taking him somewhere fancy; somewhere where you could proudly treat your boyfriend to expensive ass food (even if it did leave you and your wallet crying by the end of the night) because, to you, mark deserved nothing but the absolute best. thus, you began to search for some of the more famous spots in chicago. a curious hum from your lover quickly interrupted you and caught your attention.
“johnny was talking about this one place he used to go to all the time,” he trailed off, trying to remember the name. “it’s, like, a bakery…?”
“a bakery…” you mumbled to yourself, smiling at the idea. “that would be cute!”
“i think it was called panera…?” mark sat up, ready to call johnny to confirm if his memory was correct. “yeah, i’m pretty sure that’s what it was called.”
you couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. “you want to go to panera?”
mark smiled at the sound of your laughter and turned to look at you. “yeah, i’m down! i want to see what johnny was raving about.”
“it’s not all that fancy though, just a warning,” you replied. not that there was anything wrong with panera, but you wanted to treat mark to something…better than panera.
mark shrugged, moving a stray piece of hair out of your eyes. “i don’t care about that. as long as i get to spend time with you, i can eat anything.”
flushed, you looked away and stood up, pulling mark up with you. “alright! panera it is!”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
the two of you stood aside as you browsed the menu together. you hummed nostalgically with a soft smile on your face as you took in the atmosphere.
“you know, i used to come to panera a lot when i was in high school, too,” you told your boyfriend (who was meticulously observing his different options of soup).
at this, mark turned his head to you. “really? that’s dope, i didn’t know that.” the excitement in his voice made you chuckle, finding your boyfriend extremely endearing. “okay, should i get the chicken soup, or the broccoli cheddar? what vibe are we feeling today?”
after a moment, you leaned into his shoulder. “how about the chicken soup? we can share that and i can get us a pizza to share too.”
mark nodded and placed a soft kiss on your head, silently agreeing to your proposal. he let out a sudden gasp, catching you off guard. “woah, wait, you can get your soup in a bread bowl?” he looked at you as if to get your opinion and was only met with a fond smile. he took that as a way of you saying you liked the idea as much as he did. “dude, let’s do that.”
“i’ll order, you can find us a place to sit.” you gently pushed mark, determined to pay for your guys’ meal today.
mark frowned, keeping close to your side. “what? no, no, i can order, you should go sit.”
you placed your hands on mark’s shoulders, stopping him in his place. “let me treat you today, okay? you deserve it.” after mark made no effort to move, you pleaded one more time. “please? let me do this for you.”
although reluctant, mark eventually gave into you. he placed a quick peck on your cheek before turning around to go find a table for you two. “i’m treating us to dessert after this, then.”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
“oh my god.”
you couldn’t help but laugh at the way that mark marveled at the food in front of him. he happily took photos of his bread bowl (and the pizza, but he was more excited about the bread bowl), and insisted on taking cute photos of you despite your constant whining about not being photogenic enough. you also took photos of mark, though he was too focused on the soup to notice that you were.
mark dipped his spoon into the soup and raised it towards you, urging you to take the first bite (slurp ??). “here, taste it.”
leaning over the table, you hummed happily at the taste of the warm soup. maybe it was because of the cold weather in chicago, but the soup tasted especially good (or, maybe it was because you were eating it with the person you loved the most). “wow, that’s really good!”
mark took a napkin and wiped at a small drop of soup that dripped onto your chin before bringing the spoon to his mouth as well. leaning back in his seat, mark sighed in content, very clearly enjoying the soup. “damn,” he said after a second. “that’s some good soup. i see why you and johnny would come here all the time.”
“i think i only ever got the mac n cheese so, this is pretty new for me too,” you admitted, laughing at the look of disbelief on your boyfriend’s face.
“all those choices and you chose mac n cheese?” he teased you before feeding you another spoonful of soup.
“hey, the mac n cheese is really good, okay? and i was, like, sixteen.” you pouted at him.
“yeah, sixteen and clearly missing out on some good soup.” mark laughed at you, wincing after you gently kicked him under the table. “maybe we’ll have to come back sometime so you can treat me to this famous mac n cheese.”
smiling and reaching over to gently poke at his free hand, you agreed. “i think panera dates should be our thing whenever we come to the u.s., hm?”
mark shrugged. “that would be cool. i would eat anywhere with you, you know.” he took your hand in his and played with your fingers as he stared fondly at you.
you scrunched up your nose, feigning disgust. “you’re so corny.” mark only let out a soft chuckle and squeezed your hand that was still held in his.
“thanks for lunch today. you didn’t have to do that,” he thanked you softly, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles.
“i wanted to treat you out today. you’ve been working really hard, it’s the least that i could do,” you confessed to him. “you’re doing great, you know? i don’t think i tell you that enough.”
dipping his head down, mark let out small noises of embarrassment. “don’t say things like that, you’re gonna make me blush.” he tried to fight the smile that was slowly growing on his face, but it was no use. “thank you, y/n. i love you.”
you pressed a quick kiss to his knuckles, your heart swelling at his words. “i love you too. now let’s fuck up this food!”
summary: it all started with a kiss from your best friend, mark. and most cases, one night stands do not usually end well... right?
note: best friend!mark, sexual implications, cursing/profanities, making out? and purely confused and panicking mark lee.

- mark never had a good night's sleep in a while until now.
he opened his eyes and the window to his left side almost told him “good morning”, so bright, so sunny. but he looked at the bookshelves beside a study table, and the bulletin board stacked with utility bills and polaroid films of friends just above a supposed to be a replica of surely an andy warhol pop-art painting.
this was definitely not mark’s room.
he was about to remove the blanket that is sitting on his legs when a figure beside him shuffled a little. the back facing him was bare, messy hair all he could see. but he instantly recognized it, and the room, for so long; because it was you.
slightly panicking, mark carefully removed the warm clothing above his thighs then there he saw that he was only wearing his boxers. right above, just a little, he could see the messy lining of his shirt, and it was definitely worn the other way around.
he rose from the bed carefully, avoiding causing any disturbance. mark made sure his footsteps were inaudible while he was looking for his pants and grey hoodie on the floor. he slowly picked his jeans up, but the belt still made a faint clang noise that he held it so tightly while putting it back on. he also removed his wrinkled, reversed shirt so it would be worn correctly this time before topping it with his grey hoodie.
then mark just… stood there in front of your bed, watching you, trying to recall what has happened last night. then it was all slowly coming back to him.
now, if you happened to wake up at this very moment, then what would he do?
-
mark bit his lower lip as he was trying to answer the question he is about to face later on. he suddenly felt the need to apologize.
maybe because may have been selfish.
he suddenly kissed you while watching before sunrise. maybe, just maybe, if the romantic and sexual tension were not so intense throughout the film, then he would not have needed to finally act upon what he has been thinking all this time.
but the fact that you gave in... god, he thought, you gave in. no sight of alcohol around, just pure sober thoughts. mark has no idea where he got the push.
but was he remember asking you if you wanted it. mark needed the confirmation, just to make sure you are on the same page as him.
“you want this, right?”
you were catching your breath from the heated kiss when he asked. and yes, you wanted more.
“i would not hold back this time, baby”, you giggled. you liked him calling you baby. “are you sure?”
“mark..." you replied. "baby…”
you were straddling him and started kissing his neck again. mark’s eyes were closed and feeling his crotch against your clothed sex, but he was not so sure that you understand; that if you continue along, the morning may not be the same anymore.
and now, with mark wondering, here we are.
so he removed your arms, now wrapped around his neck while you planted kisses on his cheek, and firmly intertwined his hand with yours.
mark looked you in the eyes so intently, your gaze could not leave his.
“i’m asking again,”, he emphasized. “are you sure you really want to do this?”
and it took you seconds to nod, as you had already caught what he is thinking—the consequences, the adjustments, the confrontation to be served via breakfast.
“mmh”, you hummed.
“words. i need to hear it.”
“yes, mark. i want this.”, you replied. “do you?”
“yes, i do… so much.” he put his palm on the right side of your cheek, just a little graze yet soft, so warm, so lovely. “you have no idea.”
mark has been staring at your still-sleeping figure for too long. too long, really. should he just leave a text that says, “hey... we need to talk about last night.”? or maybe go for an old-fashioned way and write a note saying “i had to go. errands.”, when in fact, it is a sunday morning and he is actually on work leave?
but omitting some words behind these questions, should he leave?—the simple question as it is, but would he be treating you the same as his one-night stands? for him, you deserve more than just ditching and letting avoidance do its own work at this point. you are a friend—the best friend.
you finally shuffled from your former position, still sleeping. from facing the back, your body is now almost facing where mark stands still. his fight or flight response is now asking him several questions. he wanted to run from the consequences he emphasized last night. he thought he could handle them but fuck, no.
mark, noticing that you were still unconscious made him run his fingers through his hair. slightly frustrated and he may have muttered "fuck, fuck, fuck!", a little too loud and-
“just lock the door when you leave, mark.”
mark froze on his feet, mouth agape at your sudden words.
you said it so... nonchalantly. and so you went back to your former position, facing your back against him once again too quickly but still, eyes closed.
you were waiting for him to leave immediately now you may have answered the thing that has been bugging him for minutes now.
and of course, you knew the moment you gave in, there was no turning back. you wish you could say “i love you.”, but you would have rather devour into the kiss, hoping your actions would translate those words instead. so you went along; touching him for the very first time, and feeling all of him for the last time.
but what hurts most is that you know where this is gonna go, that you will wake up to the sounds of shuffling and rummaging the one-night stand’s clothes on the floor, and the footsteps while the guy is putting his shoes on. and what has happened this morning so far is no exception.
maybe mark was too kind just to leave because you are you. and it stings more to know that you are just… a friend.
and it hurts more to see that he was ready to go.
so you just had to instruct him what others usually do. and you just wish you woke up a little later on an empty, messy bed—finding him gone for good.
-
mark felt a strong pang struck into his chest. he felt like his heart is being held tight, being twisted, being ripped into pieces.
and it hurts him more that you thought he was going to leave, that you thought he was going to be another one-night stand, and that you have already accepted that everything that you both went through is now ruined.
so when mark walked towards the door, your breath suddenly hitched but was inaudible. he clicked the lock, turned the doorknob, and you heard the door opening and closing.
you finally let out a sob that has been desperately wanting to be released as he was collecting his things.
tears damped your pillow until your cries lulled you to sleep.
-
your room is illuminated by the sunset, thanks to the always bright window. already past afternoon, you managed to escape the dreadful morning.
a little foolish of you, really, to check your phone and hope mark would leave a text. you chuckled at the ridiculous thought, only to find your notification bar empty.
but then you heard faint noises coming from your living room. a little shuffling and steps over there. you stood up and opened your door.
and there he was, actually in the kitchen, checking out what is in your refrigerator. you slowly walked in his direction.
“mark?”
he turned around and said, “hey.”
“what are you doing?”
“trying to cook.”
and he was holding his phone, and there appears to be a cooking tutorial paused on the screen.
“cook what?”
“pesto…? actually, dang, you don’t have enough ingredients so i’m just gonna do a quick run at 7/11 so—”
“mark?”, you asked, now more confused than ever, “you never left.”
for mark, this was never a mistake. he had wanted and waited for this for so long. this—overcoming the boundaries and just feeling you entirely–the making out, the fucking, the embracing, the tangled bodies, the intertwined hands, the how are yous, the sharing of joys and growing pains, everything and more; and most importantly, the i love yous.
he finally did not walk out the door for once, now that he has had you in his arms last night. no fumbling with the bags this time.
enough of the jealousy and the constant checking of his phone, waiting for a text after you went out on a date, thinking he is going to lose you to another guy because mark could never say how much you mean to him. no more subtle touching, like how he likes it when he wraps his arms around your shoulders. sometimes, he would just leave it there after saying he needs to protect you while crossing the street. and more, so much more.
mark needs more—never from but of–mark needs more of you. because good god, for once, he knows what love is—and love is the entirety of you.
so mark just shrugged with a sheepish grin plastered on his face.
“still here, baby.”
and you loved that cute, stupid smile every single time.
what a sight.
summary: you think mark has fallen out of love. he insists he did not.
notes: swearing, was listening to sza's special oh gosh i just remembered mark liked this song from sos omg?????? will proofread some other time it's literally 2 in the morning here night night

“mark?” you called the boy who was humming the chorus of coldplay’s yellow. he was sitting in the living room after a cold, quiet dinner you both shared. he seemed to not notice it,
but you know he was doing it on purpose.
“mark.” you repeated his name again, in hopes to finish what is meant to be finished a long time ago. he didn’t budge. his eyes were fixed on the dried tulips that you used to take care of when you come to his apartment. you always scold mark for not watering them often, then now, here we are—they are far from being saved.
just like this one.
“i’m really tired, mark…”
mark suddenly tilted his head at your direction and said, “i’ll fix the bed, baby.”
“no”, you grabbed his wrist by the time he was already walking towards the bedroom. “mark-”
but he swatted your hand away and opened the lights instead. the room still feels the same. it smells like him—his perfume lingered across the room. the bed looks inviting but seemed cold. there sat his green hoodie—your favorite hoodie—on the mattress; almost wrinkled, dryly wrung.
mark opened his closet and brought out two extra pillows. he placed them on the top of the bed. “we always share the duvet, right?”
“stop this, mark.” you tried to protest but he kept crouching to fix the bed. he was smoothing it with his hands, trying to perfect any loose edges and all. he patted the pillows that you used to lay your head onto.
“mark!”
he stopped in his tracks and finally looked at you.
he was already crying.
“i…” you stammered but you cleared your throat to continue. “i know that you feel it, too.”
“bed’s ready, baby.”
“we’re no longer the same, mark.”
“do you want me to turn on the heater?”
there is no way mark is having this conversation, he thought it himself. but good god, you have to.
it was so difficult to witness how the bright smiles turned into faltering ones. the hugs he gives, they seemed like a chore. his eyes spark whenever he goes on a trip with his friends, and never to the plans you ought to make. him coming home and you felt honesty finally left between the two of you. he never smelled sex or an unfamiliar perfume, but these are just the little things that added to the pining, gradual changes, that turned so fucking bittersweet, it felt like it was twisting your guts every single day.
and you have already thought of it: mark has fallen out of love.
“i need to hear it from you so i don’t have to think what i’ve done wrong and whatnot—because i’m so tired; tired of whatever the fuck this is.” you were begging at this point. you heard him sniffling while wiping his tears away. “just say it.”
you reached for his damp hands and squeezed them so firmly. mark looked at you; so helpless, so naive, so vulnerable. he made you like this, mark thought. and he could never forgive himself for ruining you.
“please help me, mark… i just need you to say it.”
“i…” mark started to speak.
you squeezed his hands again, hoping something would finally come out; so desperate, so needy, such pleading, pleading, and endless pleading.
mark looked at you so dearly, with worry on his face; and the sight softened your features. it looked exactly the same when you visited his apartment looking all soaked from the rain. he scolded you for not bringing any umbrella with you. you smiled at the memory and almost nonchalantly, you said:
“help me to help you let me go, mark.”
but mark could not let you go.
every time you tell him that you love him, mark flinches. your love story is nowhere near the perfect fairytale, and uncertainties of the future have consumed mark to convince himself this is not going to last. but every time he pushes you away, you always come back.
why do you always come back? mark seeks answers from god, holding back his cries as he continuously and involuntarily steers himself away from you. what have i done wrong to deserve you; so good, so delicate, so dearly to me? he prays to god as he punishes himself, until the day you waved the white flag finally arrived.
but it would be too cruel, too insufferable, too immensely painful to watch you walk out the door. it would be too painful to feel your scent fading from his green hoodie he always embraces to sleep just because he could not do what his heart wants. the dried tulips, he tried watering them as much as he could, but they were you—so beautiful, so fragile who he wrecked.
so mark pulled you into a kiss; so intense, so desperate, so lovely, and so so apologetic. confusion and yearning consumed you as you deep dive in, but somehow, it spoke volumes—he has set himself free from the demons whispering in his sleep, the nightmares depicting him losing you in a crowd, and the intricate shackles imprisoning his heart.
“i’m sorry for all and for this but i can’t”, mark said as he now stared at your plump lips and back to your searching eyes. “god, i really can’t let you go. i’d be a fucking fool to let you go—not today, not tomorrow, and not in this lifetime or the next.”
you nodded. you understood. and that’s why you kept coming back because there was always your mark that remains despite the despites.
“i love you so much.” he kissed the tips of your fingers and rested your palm on his cheeks, leaning into your touch like a once lost child; so endearing, so passionate, so lovingly.
and you submit to him entirely because you know he's worth it, all of it.
“never ever let me go.”

(sunny’s note) ☆ had a dream about this, almost cry when i woke up ‘cause it was just too cute.
Mark didn’t want any attention on him, none at all. He was laying low about your relationship, not saying too much or even anything about it to anyone. He didn’t go public, he didn’t want to go public. If someone were to find out, his response depended on how close he was to that person in question. If it was his friends, he would tell them that you and him were going out and refuse to farther elaborate. However if it was just an acquaintance, he would either straight-up deny the existence of your relationship or come up with an excuse to flee.
Of course, you were upset at him hiding you from people. Saying that you two were just friends, or making people forget that you and him were a ‘thing’ in the first place. Mark treated you like another one of his homeboy outside of the privacy of your own home. He did not initiate affection, he was too shy to hold your hand with the eyes of people looking left and right.
He would dap you up instead of kissing you when there were still people around, no hugs, no nothing. But you understood, if that was what your boyfriend want, then you’d act along with him. You didn’t want to force him into giving you affection, especially when it was outside and in the open for a bunch of strangers to stare at. You were touch-starved as hell, but you would always try your best to pull through for Mark.
Wrapping your arms around his waist, you nuzzled yourself into his chest. Your cheeks brushing against the rough fabric of his sweatshirt, his heart was already picking up its pace as soon as you touched him. No wonder he didn’t want you to be affectionate in public, he would most definitely explode or have an episode. If this was already how his body response to you being touchy in private, what would happen out in public then?
“Oh-um—do you need something, babe?” Mark asked, not too sure how to react to your behavior. He could feel himself starting to sweat, even though the air was blowing coldness through the AC unit. It was a mere feeling, he wasn’t going to actually sweat. But it was not any better though! He felt nauseous too, this weird sensation stirring up his internal organs. Was it excitement or embarrassment?
"No, I just feel like cuddling." You pulled him closer, hands rubbing against his abdomen. The sweatshirt as a barrier still didn't help with making him react neither negatively or positively. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to feel this type of way, he desperately wanted to feel comfortable with you too. However, it seemed that he could never when you touch him like that.
Choosing to love you was a dangerous idea, you were bad, bad for his poor heart. Mark sure did love you, though he didn’t express it too often, but he was head over heels. Sometimes it was all about the subtle things, how your hot fingers grazed against his coldness. Your soft lips brushing the skin on his neck, gently kissing the mole he has. It was the sparkles in your eyes that hooked him completely, they told him that you were happy to have him.
Mark began, "Hey, uh, you still want to come over to Jaemin's with me tonight? It's okay if you change your mind."
"Yeah, of course I still want to go. Why? Do you not want me to go?" You looked up at him, your brows furrowed a bit in confusion.
Turning his gaze to elsewhere, the guilt in him was stirring up as your eyes fixed on him. "No, it's just that we would be drinking a lot. And I don't want to be a burden, you know?" Mark was fairly well with handling his liquor, but in the unfortunate case of him getting drunk, you would have to be the one to take care of him. And that would be the biggest embarrassment in his life.
“Mark, it’s fine.” You held his hand, reassuring him that letting loose was okay. “I want you to have fun.”
You knew your boyfriend’s friends well enough to ask them for assistance if you needed, and you also knew your limit to stop. If he could let go of himself tonight and trust you, getting drunk would not be a problem. The worst case scenario was crashing at Jaemin’s place, which would be a bit of a hassle, but at least it was not out on the road under the influence of alcohol.
You already got dressed—in the same outfit you went out for coffee this morning. It was just going to Jaemin's for a fun night and not some crazy elaborate house party, there was no point of getting all dressed up in nice clothing than a fit of t-shirt and baggy jeans. Talking about being dressed up, there was a possibility of getting vomit on you if any of the others got too drunk, try negotiating with the dry-cleaners.
You arrived at Jaemin's place a tad later than expected, he lived farther into the city and it took around half an hour to unstuck your car from terrible traffics. How the hell was the traffics so bad on a Saturday night? Was there a social gathering that everyone was invited to but you?
One, two, or three cars parked in front of the driveway. Getting into lines with the others, Mark turned off the engine. Walking out with you to the front door, he didn't hold your hand but you could feel his fingers brushing against your palm. He wanted to, he wanted to oh-so badly but he could not bring himself into doing it.
“You made it! Come quick, Chenle brought this really fancy imported wine and we are getting fucked-up tonight!” Jaemin came out before the two of you could ring the bell on his door, scared you with all the energy that exuded from his voice.
He turned his eyes to you, “Hey, [Y/N], Mark finally have the balls to bring you along to one of our hangouts. Glad to have you!”
You knew already that Mark and his friends held hangouts and parties from time to time, he always left with the same old reason and never offered to bring you with him before. Hearing that coming from one of his friends, sounded like he had been talking about you to them for a while. It was a nice feeling, maybe even got your heart kicking around in your ribcage a bit.
“Mark, what took you so long? We’re starving and it’s all your fault.” Donghyuck blamed from his place on the couch.
“I told you idiots to eat without me, and we were stuck in traffics.” Mark replied, sitting down with you on a different couch. They probably waited for him, that was nice of them, but the food wouldn’t be as hot as it used to be a couple while ago.
The salmon was cooked fairly good for a guy who lived alone, it was juicy and well-seasoned—and it had been sitting out for some time. Plus, it went amazing with the wine that Chenle brought to the table. Mark seemed to love the dinner too, you saw his eyebrows lifting up a few centimeters each time he took another bite. You were going to one-up Jaemin, how could he have the audacity to cook better food for your boyfriend? Unacceptable, you shall declare war.
It must’ve been the alcohol in your system that got you all relaxed. It also fueled the touch-starved behavior in you, with your head almost in the clouds. you went to find your boyfriend in the other room. His back towards you, busy talking with the others. You wanted a kiss, just one kiss and you would be set for the night. Just one kiss and you promised to behave.
His body jumped slightly when he felt arms, from the corners of his eyes saw you hanging on his shoulders. His friends turned their attention to you too, stopping them mid-conversation. Mark was worried you might have accidentally hurt yourself or something, worse, begging for his attention! His heart was weak, and he known full-well you would take advantage of it.
Your voice, in a low enough volume to not be screaming but to only be heard by the circle of people you two were surrounded with. The moment you just said ‘fuck it’, “Babe, give me a kiss.”
He thought he would have the upper-hand since he foreseen you being affectionate as a way to get attention, but he guessed he miscalculated things. Plan A had failed, and no plan B to be expected. No! No mouth-to-mouth action could be done at a place like this, you were the cause of his downfall. Your persistence controlled you, your lips lingering around his sensitive skins, whining and almost crying to him for a single kiss.
"[Y/N], are you alright? Why are you acting like that? Are you drunk?" Tugging on his shirt, you refused to give up. You were getting a kiss and that was it, you weren't asking for too much, only one kiss from your boyfriend. He placed his hands behind your back, trying his best to hold you up so you wouldn't come crashing down and hurt yourself—though, you were the problem, you were technically pulling on him to get him closer to your lips.
The others offered no help, assholes, standing there and rooting with their big mouths. With you in his arms, both falling over backward onto the hard wooden flooring beneath. As a habit—or even a natural instinct—one of his hand flew to your head, shielding you from the wall behind.
"Babe, babe, babe! Answer me, are you okay?!" Mark panicked, calling out for you in a desperate manner. He shook your limp body in his hold, it reacted like a rag doll from how light-headed that dammed wine got you.
You were not okay, and a kiss would do the trick! Holding his face, feeling how hot and blushing you made him become. He felt like a heat pack, a warmth that you wanted to do nothing but stay in forever. Tears sliding from your eyes and off your face, lips pouting to manipulate him more.
"Can you kiss me? Please, Mark, just one kiss." You solicited.
In front of all his friends, wouldn't it be embarrassing? But, yes, he wished he had enough confidence to outwardly show you his love. And in a hard situation like this, he loved you too much to not not make you happy. You got what you want, he gave in. Pressing his lips against yours, calming down your cries. You heard faint cheers in the background, but you were too focused on his soft, sweet lips that made nothing audible.
You passed out soon after, but he was holding you in his arms the whole time you were unconscious. Of course, his friends teased him and telling him to get a room. But even if he tried, you would not let him go. You were all snuggled on his laps, leaving him with no chance of escape. You, on his laps, peacefully sleeping while he thought about how he was going to survive this cuteness. Oh, you were going to kill him someday.
“Shh, shut up, my baby’s sleeping.”
“I choose to love you in silence because in silence I find no rejection, and in silence no one owns you but me.”

PHILIA (n) - affectionate love - yellow chrysanthemums
A warm beam of sunlight streams in through the glass window, toasting the wooden the tables and chairs in its wake. You stretch behind the counter - warm sunny afternoons always gave you the urge to nap.
Opposite you, on the other side of the store, stood your coworker amongst the displays of flowers. Na Jaemin was attractive, and more often than not, you'd hear people compare him to the flowers he worked with in attempt to woo him. They never worked though, Jaemin would always respond with a polite smile and a "thank you". You'd try your best to hold in your giggle as they leave the store with a sour expression. But then you'd meet eyes with Jaemin, he'd mouth a playful "oops", and you'd have to duck down to hide your laugh behind the counter.
It was a slow day. You barely had anyone to serve so you spent your time arranging and rearranging shelves in the back, cleaning equipment, and munching on the seasonal lavender flavored cake your store offered. Jaemin, on the other hand, seemed to be catching up on bouquet orders. Each bouquet was prepared with the same amount of care and focus as the next. Each flower was chosen with a purpose to serve. Jaemin wasn't only known as a pretty face. He was also known for his beautiful bouquets.
Seemingly haven to caught you staring, without looking up from his work, your coworker jokingly says,
"Go back to work."
"But there is no work. No one wants a coffee from me."
"I do. See, you have work."
You turn around to start his coffee - iced americano, three shots of espresso. He usually whines for more espresso but in attempt to keep his body functioning, you only allow a maximum of three shots.
The overhead bell tinkles and a woman walks in. You give them a smile over your shoulder to welcome them in. She returns the smile, but walks up to Jaemin's counter instead.
"Hi! I had an order for pick up today?"
"Oh yes, chrysanthemums right?"
The woman nods as Jaemin goes to fetch her prepared bouquet. You finish the coffee and bring it over to your coworker's counter, making conversation with the customer as you do so.
"Are the flowers for anyone?"
"They are! One of my friends is graduating today and I wanted to congratulate her as well as thank her for being such a lovely friend."
You can't help but grin at the story. The way the woman brightened up mentioning her friend. The way she spoke so highly of them. They must be someone extremely precious to her.
"A great choice of flowers." Jaemin comments, returning with a bright yellow bouquet.
"Thank you. I spent hours looking up the meanings of flowers. My friend's really into the language of flowers."
The both of you thank her for her patronage and watch as she heads off, the brightly colored flowers tucked safely in her arms.
"Happiness, joy, celebration."
"Hm?"
Jaemin takes a sip of his coffee before answering.
"You wanted to know the meaning right? I could tell."
Sometimes Jaemin's ability to read your mind scares you. How does he just know?
"Also, this coffee doesn't have the amount of espresso I requested."
"I'm saving your life." You retort, heading back to your post.
You spare a glance at the door the woman walked out of. How special it must be to have someone care for you that much. A friend who would scour the internet for the perfect flower for you. A friend who had the most precious expression talking about you.
You loved knowing the stories behind your customers. Yet, for some reason, they always made you feel more alone.
PRAGMA (n) - enduring love - baby's breath
Entering the shop today, you were greeted with the sight of Jaemin surrounded by a copious amount of baby's breath flowers. It was certainly a sight to behold.
"A regular of ours is getting married soon - they've asked me to prepare the flowers for their wedding." He had said, bunching the small flowers together with a white ribbon. You hum, leaning on his counter as he continued to work. Jaemin's breath hitches at the proximity between the two of you - yet it goes unnoticed as you rack your brain to remember the regular.
"I remember! Is it the tall man who always shows up in a suit?"
"The one that always manages to squeeze his partner in every sentence? Yeah."
Jaemin's gaze falls upon you as you rest your head on your palms, a huge smile adorning your face.
"Adorable."
"The couple? Yeah. I can't believe they're getting married!"
His comment wasn't about the couple.
Jaemin returns his focus back on the flowers, aiming for the bunches to be as consistent as possible.
"They've been together for quite long, haven't they?" You mention, watching his slim fingers weave the perfect bow around the fragile flowers.
"Mhm, ten years I think. He said they were high school sweethearts."
A yearnful sigh escapes your lips.
"How cute. I wish I had something like that."
Jaemin gently pokes your forehead, a soft smile on his own lips.
"You're idolizing the idea of love again."
"I can't help it! Isn't the idea of falling for one another just so romantic? The butterflies, the flushed faces, the shy touches!" You squeal at the thought. Romance was your favorite genre, even if you've never experienced it personally, it was always a gem to witness.
"Instead of standing there and squealing like a high schooler - you should come around and help me with these flowers."
"But I'm not the florist - you don't see me asking you to make coffee."
"I am terrified that you will start kicking your legs like a high schooler with a crush next alright? And it's not hard, I'll teach you."
So you make your less than graceful jump across the counter, asking Jaemin to catch you (he didn't) and the two of you spent the day side by side bunching up baby's breaths.
"What do baby's breaths mean?"
Jaemin's shoulder meets yours and his fingers brush against your own as he fixes your ribbon. The sun was warm, or was that your skin flushing?
"Everlasting love."
STORGE (n) - familiar love - white lilac
"What do you recommend for my daughter who's just given birth?"
Your ears perk up from the storage room and you immediately drop the bag of coffee beans you were holding to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"Congratulations! I'm sure you must be ecstatic!"
"I am! A healthy young granddaughter! I love her already. The entire family is celebrating."
A wave of joy crashes on you. You weren't just a sucker for romantic love, but all types of love. Humans were surrounded by love all the time, consciously or unconsciously, it was always present. And to you, there wasn't anything that made you happier than seeing others feel the joy of loving and being loved.
You sneak a peak out into the open area, just in time to see the lady leave the store, white lilacs in her bag and a skip in her step.
"Eavesdropping is rude you know?"
"Boo, I'm just trying to get in on some good news."
Jaemin laughs as you jokingly pout at him, his structure stands out against the light streaming in from the big windows. You've always thought his smile was dazzling. It really was no mystery as to why he was so popular.
"Hey, could you help with the coffee beans? You've got nothing to do now anyway."
"Ask cutely."
"I'm reporting you to the boss. That has got to be a breach of some HR protocol."
"I'm just joking." The boy says making his way towards you. Unexpectedly, he stops to tuck a small piece of white lilac behind your ear, face only inches away from yours.
"Purity, innocence. I think it suits you."
He then continues his journey to the storage room casually, as if the two of you weren't just a hair's distance away from each other.
"Na Jaemin what the fuck?"
EROS (n) - romantic love - red roses
A knowing glance was shared between you and your coworker as a couple walks in, arms linked with each other.
"I love you honeybunches."
"I love you more sweetie pie."
The couple shares a kiss, the audible smooching loud enough to be echoing through the store. You had to pretend to clear your throat to grab their attention.
"How may I help you two?"
After placing their order, the couple giggles and slinks to a table in the corner. You notice that they sit next to each other instead of opposite.
"Is that the type of love you want?" Jaemin whispers as you froth the milk for a sweet potato latte.
"Oh come on, they're not that bad. I bet they're just in the honeymoon phase is all."
"Mhm, and they're definitely not making out in the corner right now."
With a roll of your eyes, you wipe down the metal wand. Without the noise of the machine, the wet sounds of mouth on mouth action could clearly be heard.
"They're cute!"
"Why? Do you want to make out in public as well? Come here, I can make that happen."
You were sure Jaemin was joking. The tone of his voice told you so. But when you looked into his eyes, they looked hopeful. Perhaps you were deluding yourself. All these thoughts about love were really altering the way you saw things.
"No. Go serve them their coffee."
"What? I thought you never made me do barista things?"
"It's only fair after you got me to do florist things."
Jaemin smiles at the playful quarrel, though you notice there was a hint of disappointment there. Why?
"This cake is new."
"Huh? Oh, yeah, it's the new red rose cake. The owner said they used rosewater when baking it."
"Passion, desire, romance. No wonder the couple picked it. Wish me luck."
You give your coworker a salute as he heads over with the drinks and dessert before busying yourself with cleaning. You don't notice the couple giving Jaemin advice and support regarding his stupidly obvious crush on you because stupidly, you believed that romantic love would never come to you.
LUDUS (n) - playful love - white roses
It was a cloudless day, the skies were a lovely shade of blue, and the birds were chirping a happy tune. It was the perfect day for a first date. Which is why you found yourself craning your neck to look at the couple sitting outside.
They were evidently on their first date. The nervous fiddling, the shy giggles, the playful laughter. You weren't even part of their date, but just watching them interact made your insides bubble with excitement.
"Jaemin! Jaemin look! They're comparing hand sizes!"
"I know, I can see what you see."
You were pretending to wipe down a table on the other side of the glass, trying your best to seem uninterested in their conversation. But the reality was, you were dying to hear everything they had to say.
The florist, on the other hand, was watering his flowers. Less interested than you were, but was still listening. Most of his attention wasn't on the couple outside, it was on you.
You were fretting over every small detail, eyes wide and sparkling whenever someone made a move. You were clasping you hands together when they exchanged coy looks, excitedly muttering Jaemin's name in order to have him look.
You were in your element, and you were glowing.
When did he fall for you? Jaemin doesn't even know. You were always so into the small details, remembering the tiniest change in people. So adorable when you unknowingly purse your lips when attempting latte art. Perhaps you had him wrapped around your finger since the day you stepped in the store, asking if they were hiring. Or perhaps he fell slowly, day after day of working together and being in your presence.
Jaemin doesn't know when, but he knows that his attempts at flirting had gone unnoticed. But Jaemin doesn't know how to give up. So he's made the decision to keep trying, again and again. He'll keep trying until the day you stop loving the concept of love, and start loving him.
"Here, a white rose each for the two of you - free of charge."
The couple seemed pleased. Your jaw hanging wide open when Jaemin returned.
"Flies are going to get in your mouth."
"Jaemin... That was so smooth. That made their date even more memorable."
He hopes that one day, your rose colored glasses would be directed at him.
PHILAUTIA (n) - self love - narcissus
The clouds were crying today, dying the sky a deep shade of gray. You sigh. It was as if the weather was mirroring your thoughts. You hated it.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Jaemin's warm hands gently hold your face, slowly turning you to face him. Hesitantly, you meet his eyes. They were worried, he was worried. You know. You could tell.
"Okay fine. I'll tell you. But no laughing alright?"
He nods.
"Its just... One of my friends got into a relationship and I'm jealous."
Silence.
"Wait, no, not because I was in love with my friend. But because I've never been in a relationship. As in, I want to know how it feels like?"
Jaemin lets out a silent sigh of relief.
"But I feel like I could never be loved like that. I've never had someone look at me as if I was the only person that ever mattered. And as much as I love the idea of that, I don't know if I'm worthy of it the way I am now."
Your voice slowly turns into a whisper, your insecurities escape and spread out in the small store. The atmosphere was heavy, around the same weight as your heart. Tears threatened to escape your eyes, the embarrassment of crying in front of your handsome coworker was the only thing holding them back.
Suddenly, Jaemin's hands, a little rough from tending to flowers, push against your cheeks.
"Y/N. You are worth loving. You are worthy of everything the world has to offer. Fuck, you're worth more than the world has to offer."
"Huh?" Was all you could make out as Jaemin's palms still had a firm grip on your cheeks.
"Listen, you are the brightest person I've ever laid my eyes upon. If you claimed you were the sun, nobody would argue differently. I don't even know how my world was before you. Stop thinking so negatively, alright?"
Ah shit. The tears were free falling now.
"Thank you, Jaemin."
The sun peeked through the clouds. A rainbow formed in the sky. A single daffodil sat in a vase on the windowsill.
AGAPE (n) - selfless love - red carnation
Jaemin stands alone behind his counter, head in his hands. He had basically confessed to you the other day. He basically said you were his sun damn it. But you still hadn't caught on.
It was your day off today. Jaemin received a lovely selfie of you earlier of you and a friend at an amusement park. A telling smile that formed on his face told everyone in the room all they needed to know.
"Just tell her straight up." Taeyong, the owner, suggests. "At this point I don't think they'd understand if you don't."
"I don't want them to be pressured into a relationship if they're not ready or not into me though." Jaemin replies, groaning. "What if we become awkward? I don't want that. Please, anything but that. All I want is for them to realize that I've been nursing a massive crush on them"
"Make them a bouquet," Johnny, one of the cafe's investors, mentions. "You're good at those right?"
"I've tried. But they don't turn out the way I want them to."
"Try harder."
The older men snicker as the younger shoots them a glare. Jaemin lies his head down on the cool surface of the counter, his eyes catch onto the brilliant red carnations blooming on the side.
"Red carnation. "My heart aches for you"."
The next day you clock in, you find red carnations decorating your work station. They were on the espresso machine, sitting on the cookie jar, and even inside mugs.
"Jaemin? What happened while I was gone?"
The boy smiles brightly from his station opposite yours. A view you've gotten used to.
"Welcome back?"
"I was gone for one day."
"Hey, I missed you for a whole day."
A tingle makes its way up your ears. You admit, you've been thinking a lot about Jaemin's words since the day you cried in front of him. How tender and passionate those words were, how they sounded almost like a confession.
A cake box catches your attention. Wrapped in a white ribbon with your name on it.
Undoing the bow and opening the cardboard reveals flowers. Delicately placed and arranged. You carefully look over the flowers. Yellow chrysanthemums, baby's breath, white lilac, red roses, white roses, daffodils, red carnation.
"Jaemin... is this from you?"
He grins.
"You know the meaning right?"
>> time stops
wc: 670 first love
“i have a question.”
jaemin hums. lolling his head to the side, he looks to where you lay on the left side of his chest, just a few centimeters away from his heart. “shoot.”
“okay,” you begin. in a sudden burst of energy you flip yourself over to press your chin against his torso, eyes wide and gleaming with excitement. “let’s say, hypothetically, you’re hiking in the woods and come across a bear—”
“what kind of bear?” he says, cutting you off prematurely. “like an actual bear or a haechan?”
you raise a brow but answer him nonetheless. “i dunno, a polar bear.”
“there’s no polar bears in the woods,” he remarks.

hoseok x reader (oc) genre: fluff word count: 1.6K
a/n: Hi lovelies! This is just tipsy moon gazing with Hobi and Petal/reader. It’s cold, they’re in love, and the moon is full and bright. Also this is very much just written as a moment in time so it’s kind of random and there’s no real solid plot. They’re just vibing. Ok! I hope you all enjoy and thanks for reading :))
Tipsy giggles poured from the apartment out onto the balcony, the gleeful sounds mixing with the noises of vehicles beneath you. As you and your boyfriend tumbled into the cold, his arms wrapped around your waist, you struggled to drape a blanket around his shoulders.
“Whoah, look at my breath,” he announced, exhaling into your face to show you the misty cloud that left his mouth. The whiskey had a much bigger impact on Hoseok, a renowned and beloved lightweight, than it did on you.
Smiling in amusement, you rolled your eyes playfully. “Yeah, it’s freezing out here, that’s why you need to let me put this blanket over you,” you pointed out to him. Hoseok peered over his shoulder to see the plush floral throw. His eyes widened before he helped you to tug it over him, just before he pulled you flush against his chest.
“We haven’t come out here in forever,” he hummed against your hairline, leaving the faintest of kisses to your hair.

It's a busy morning in the Lee household, not because you had work but because it's the first time your daughter would go to daycare. Even though you and Mark have already done this before with your oldest, Minjung, you can tell he's more wary and a bit on edge sending his youngest and only daughter to school
"Did you get Min-jee's backpack?" you ask Mark, seeing him come down the stairs.
"Huh oh yea wait a second" Mark jogs back the same way he came from, chuckling at your husband before turning your head back to little Minjee, helping her put her shoes on.
This is like a normal morning for you, Minjung leaves earlier for school then Minjee wakes up and you get her ready for the day. Now she's finally old enough to go to daycare, you were excited to watch your little girl meet kids her age and socialize but Mark on the other hand thought it's too early.
"Are we sure she's ready for this? We can still wait a year more" he says, walking down the stairs and taking the seat beside his daughter. Immediately she reaches out to hold her dad, you thought Minjung was a dada's boy oh you were wrong. Minjee is way more attached to Mark then her brother. Even as a baby, she only ever wants to be held by her dad and Mark loved every second of it.
Maybe it's the reason why he's more affected about sending Minjee to daycare.
"She'll be fine, she needs more friends her age. Plus I can tells she's getting bored being home all the time. Right, love?" you say lightly pinching her cheeks
"Mama, woo" she says referring to the snoopy plushie her uncle Jungwoo gave her when she was a baby, the name woo kinda stuck so now she calls it woo. Minjee takes that stuff toy with her everywhere she goes.
"It's here, Jee. Come on, we need to go" Mark says before scooping her up in his arms, you take the backpack and followed the two out the door.
Mark puts Minjee in her carseat while you settle in the passenger seat. Then the three of you were off.
The whole ride to the daycare you can tell Mark was growing more and more anxious, repeatedly tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, his legs shaking.
"Mark baby, she'll be fine" you smile at your husband.
"Yea I know, I just... How are you not as emotional right now?" he asks you
"I think I got most of it out with Minjung. I can still remember bawling my eyes out in the parking lot when we left him on his first day" you answer, reaching over to rest your hand on his knee.
"She'll do great, we know the teacher's here they'll take good care of her"
"I know I know"
Letting out a chuckle, you let him be.
When you finally got to the daycare, Mark parks the car but made no move to step out.
"Babe?"
"I can't do this" he mumbles under his breath
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Baby, I don't think I can leave her here. Let's just wait one more year" he said turning to you, this time you see his eyes almost close to tears. Again this made you giggle, taking his face between your hands before giving him a sweet short kiss.
"She'll be fine, who knows maybe she'll love it. Right, Jee?" you say outloud to which you hear your daugther reply with a tiny "Yea!" making you and Mark smile.
The three of you walk hand in hand towards the entrace, you see other parents drop their kids off. Some kids were crying some were okay and walked inside with no problem. Minjee was looking around, the environment definitely new to her. When you got closer at the door, Mark stops walking. Crouching infront his daughter, you can see he's really trying to fight back the tears.
"Hey, me and mama will be right here when you finish later okay?" he asks the girl, "Remember what we talked about last night? You'll play with your classmates and teachers and you'll learn your ABC'S and colors"
"Color with dada?" she asks
"Uh well, dada has to go. But I'll be here when you finish"
"Dada not go with Jeejee?" she asks, a pout already forming on her tiny lips.
Uh oh.
You knew that look. That's the look that would make Mark run to the ends of the Earth just to get what his daughter wants.
"Well uh I uhm Dada can't come with Jeejee"
"Why no dada?" she asks
This time you decided to intervene before the two of them cries right here right now, "Dada and mama will be here okay? You'll go inside and do lot's of fun activities then when you're done we'll be here and Minjung too"
"Oppa?" Minjee smiles upon hearing her brother's name
"Mhm, we'll pick you up later then we'll get ice cream how does that sound?" you tell her, immediately the frown turns into a smile. Then a teacher approaches you, "Hi! Is she joining us for today?"
"Yes, this is Minjee" you say, standing up to greet the teacher
"Oh Mrs. Lee, nice to see you again! Mr. Lee" she greets the two of you, she was Minjung teacher before
"Then this must be Minjung's little sister, she looks just like him. Hello, Minjee I'm your teacher" she says crouching down to greet your daughter
"I know right, Mark's carboncopies" you laugh
"We better get inside, class will start soon. Like always, you can come around 11am to pick her up"
"Yes, we've been briefed during the orientation. Okay Minjee, you need to go inside now. Can mama have a hug?" you ask, crouching down again to hug her before she goes.
"Can't forget dada, come here princess. Dada will come later okay? then we'll cuddle after school" Mark says as he hugs her tightly like he doesn't want to let her go.
"Otay, babye dada babye mama" she tells the to of you. Waving her tiny hand before walking with her teacher. You and Mark watch until she gets inside.
You reach out and intertwine your hand with Mark's, feeling your husband squeeze your hand before walking back to where you parked.
When you get inside the car, you wait for him to say something.
"Love? You alright?"
"I think I'm gonna cry" you hear him mumble, how can this man have two kids and yet still be this adorable.
"Aw love, come here" you say opening your arms for him, Mark gladly hugging you. Holding you tightly against him.
"Our babies are growing up too fast" he says
You pat his back a few times, kissing his cheek before pulling away to look at him.
"I know, she's our second but it doesn't really get easier" you sigh
"How are you not as emotional?" Mark asks you
"Me? Oh I am emotional, you're just being too cute right now. Plus, Minjee might love going to school like Minjung" you tell him, kissing him on the lips before buckling in.
"Now, we have a few hours to ourselves Mr. Lee. What do you say we have some us time?" you smile at him, Mark blinks back at you then he's pulling out the driveway with the sound of your laughter resonating in the car.
namjoon x reader (oc) genre: fluff word count: 1.3K
a/n: Hi lovelies! This fic started with the simple idea of Joon and Daisy/reader walking around in the winter time and him being adorable about a small Christmas tree. The rest- well, I don’t know how it came to be but I hope you all enjoy and thanks for reading! :))
Walking happily down the street, you actively avoided meeting Namjoon’s stare, knowing he was watching you as you smugly swung your shopping bag back and forth.
“You won’t even look at me,” he huffed and shook his head, though you could hear it in his voice that he was biting back a smile. “You’re so proud of yourself,” he continued his lighthearted complaints. Rolling your eyes, you stepped in front of him, halting his steps, your hand resting on his shoulder to hold him in place. Widening your eyes, you looked at him directly to make your point. “Stop it,” he told you quietly, a small grin breaking through, his dimples appearing as small divots in his cheeks.
“Stop complaining then. And stop glaring at me,” you retorted, Namjoon taking offense.
“I haven’t been glaring,” he defended himself, making you shoot him an expression that said, really?
“I bought the shoes, get over it,” you shot back, Namjoon’s mouth dropping open as he glanced down at the shopping bag.
A gust of cold wind struck you both, sending his hair flying across the side of his face and a shiver through his tall frame. You were struck with the desire to warm him up.

— Marina Abramovic
“Some walks you have to take alone.” - Suzanne Collins
[ 23:58pm ] — i love you. remember that.
you and haechan were polar opposites. he was sociable, outgoing, popular, and charmed every person he crosses paths with. he was very ambitious and hardworking and was probably voted most likely to succeed in high school. you, on the other hand, preferred to keep to yourself most of the time, essentially satisfied with mediocrity, and an overall one’s usual plain jane.
you never understood why he liked you in the first place.
the insecurities in your relationship with haechan rarely clog your mind, but when they do, they hit you like a truck. you tended to distance yourself from your boyfriend, wallowing in your own self-pity until he maybe notices and coaxes you out of it.
you wonder how long until his patience with your negativity runs out and leaves you for someone else. someone better.
“you ok?” haechan’s voice snaps you out of your downward spiral. you blinked a few times out of shock, then responded curtly. “yeah, i’m alright.”
haechan narrowed his eyes at you, obviously not believing a word you’re saying. “penny for your thoughts?”
“it’s nothing, hyuck. go back to playing.”
you used his real name. haechan let out a quiet sigh, took off his headphones and squeezed himself next to you on the bed. you swore you could hear jaemin and jeno yelling at him through his headphones for being afk, but before you could point it out, haechan already has you locked in, his arms snaking around your waist and his legs tangled above yours.
“have i ever told you that you’re pretty?” he whispered.
“sometimes.” you hummed.
“maybe i should be saying it more.” he quietly chuckled.
“you don’t have to.”
haechan scooted almost impossibly closer to you, his breath fanning your neck, the distance between your bodies disappearing.
“have i ever told you that i love you?”
you pause for a moment, guilt creeping into your system. “always.” your boyfriend was one who never shyed away from expressing his feelings. he made sure you felt loved, you hear that you’re loved. his one question was a message to you – ‘i love you, yet why do you feel that way?’ why do you feel so insecure in your relationship when he has never failed to appreciate you? to love you?
“i love the way your forehead scrunches up when you focus.” he started, his fingers softly touching and gliding over your bare arms.
“i love the way you get excited when i come home with cheesecake.” he lightly laughed at the thought as his hands travelled up to your face, cupping your cheeks and making you face him. “i love the way you’re so goddamn bad at valorant, yet you play with me when i ask you to.”
“i think about you all the time. your smile, your hands, your face, your laugh. i think about you before i sleep, the moment i wake up, everytime i eat. it’s you that i see. you’re running through my mind all day it’s . . “ he let out a somewhat exasperated sigh. “you’re the only person who makes me this insane, y/n. really.”
“i love you, y/n. you and only you, just the way you are. forever and always.” his voice was much quieter now and his grip around your waist tightened.
“i’m sorry.” was all you could croak out
“it’s okay. i love you. remember that.”
the two of you were silent for a moment. the guilt in your system slowly subsided into feelings of gratefulness – you were thankful he noticed something’s wrong with you quickly, and you were also thankful he knew how to snap yourself out of it.
“wanna watch a movie?” you suggested.
“i’d like that.” he giggled. he slowly snaked himself away from you to get the tv remote, but his movement halted when you called out his name.
“donghyuck?”
his real name. again. he turned back to face you once more.
“i love you, too. forever and always.”
he grinned, moved closer to you and gave you a light peck on the lips.
“i know.”

-
"you're pretty!" haechan's little brother complimented you with the cutest grin, almost matching his older brother's. his height reaching just above your waist line, his head arm's reach for you to softly rub over his grown out bowl cut. he was the youngest in the family, and a complete sweetheart. when you first met haechan's family, you remember him being way smaller. but now he's grown a bit and he's at the end of elementary.
"thank you cutie." you cooed, tapping the tip of his nose lightly. both of you giggling when his face scrunches up when your index finger makes contact with his nose.
"yah, that's my girlfriend." haechan comes from behind you as he playfully pushes away his youngest brother, engulfing you in a tight hug. your hands reaching to place over his forearms.
"no," he giggles. "i like noona more!"
haechan tugs you closer and away from the little boy. "she's mine." he responds, sticking his tongue out. "only i can call her pretty." he tilts his head at him before he smashes his lips against your cheek.
when haechan pulls away from your cheek, he laughs evilly as he playfully glares down at his brother. the little boy makes a 'hmph' sound before turning around and running to the other side of the house.
"your little brother is a cutie." you tell him, haechan's arms around you relaxing as they find a new place on your hips.
he pinches your side, making you jump in his hold before smacking him.
“yeah? well where do you think he gets his skills from.”
"donghyuck-ie, come set the table please."
everyone is set at the table in the living room, haechan and you sitting across from his grandparents, his parents sitting to the left of them, and his siblings sitting to the left of their older brother.
haechan's schedule has calmed down, a few free days and he's decided to take you with him to his hometown since his family has been asking about your next visit to see them, and he of course just misses his family. when you first met his family, you weren't really nervous, due to your boyfriend's job and lifestyle you couldn't just up and leave to go meet them. but you've met them on phone and video calls. haechan's mother was the sweetest and funniest woman you've met, you see where your boyfriend get's his funny personality from. you can still recall when haechan's mom face timed him one day while you both were eating dinner at your place.
"donghyuck? donghyuck-ah where are you?" you hear a woman speaking through his phone. you continue to eat silently as you just stare at your boyfriend answering the call.
"mom, i'm at yn's." before you could spit out your food or swallow it, haechan pans the phone's camera to you.
your eyes practically bulging out your sockets as you stare at haechan who's smirking behind the phone. both your cheeks are puffed out from the mouthful of rice. your cheeks burn red as you face the mother of your boyfriend on the screen.
you shyly wave, covering your mouth with your other hand.
"oh yn, you're so pretty through the screen, even with your mouth full." his mom smiles, softly laughing. haechan putting down his elbow on the table so his arm doesn't get tired, he softly smiles at what his mom said, he breaks his eye contact with you to take a bite of his dinner. not wanting it to get cold.
you swallow your food, shaking your head. "i'm sorry, your son just put the camera on me without letting me chew my food." you apologize, still blushing but not forgetting to shoot a glare at your boyfriend who innocently continues to eat.
"no worries honey. eat well!" you politely thank her before haechan turns his phone to face him.
"mom, i did good didn't i?" he asks, wiggling his eyebrows.
the call soon ended, her asking her son to come visit with you before bidding both of you goodbye's.
on the table was a bunch of plated food, food that haechan's mother and grandmother had cooked. you remember haechan telling you awhile ago that he grew up eating his grandmother and mother's food and that their home cooked food will forever be his favorite meal to eat. reminiscing the one time you visited for haechan's little brother's birthday party, the second youngest one, his mom and grandmother cooked and prepared everything for his brother's thirteenth birthday. the kimchi stew leaving an impact inside your stomach, it was the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. all the other kimchi stews you've ever tasted being laughed at.
"chili pepper jeon!" haechan gasps next to you, as he shuts his eyes tight, leaning back slowly with his hand over his chest as he wiggles in his seat. you smile at his reaction to seeing his favorite food made by his grandma.
his grandma across the table chuckles at the sight of her grandson, smiling endearingly, thankful that she's able to see her grandson eat.
"noona, do you like pork belly?" the youngest one asks you, he peaks his head from behind haechan.
"i love pork belly." you reply, smiling.
his smile widens as he holds out his chopsticks that has a piece of pork between his small, blue, kid chopsticks.
you gasp lightly, pointing a finger at yourself. "for me?"
he nods, raising his hand in front of haechan who's watching this interaction happen, literally, in front of him.
he thought that having you sit next to him on his right away from his flirty little brothers, they wouldn't try anything with you. but here we are. the littlest one, holding a piece of pork belly in front of his face, to feed you.
you take your chopsticks to grab the piece of meat from his, but he shakes his head and pouts.
"no, no, from here! eat from here!"
"yah," haechan pouts, staring at the younger one.
his grandparents and parents smiling fondly at the scene unfolding in front of them.
before you can reach over to take the bite, haechan beats you to it.
"hyung!" his little brother frowns, turning his head away from him as he continues to eat his food.
"haha," haechan snickers.
rolling your eyes at your childish boyfriend, you reach over behind him and softly pat the little one's back. his posture immediately straightens and his frown is gone.
dinner continues swiftly, casual conversation being shared between you and haechan's mom and grandma. and haechan talking with his dad and grandpa.
"oh! you know how to crochet too?" his grandma asks in excitement.
you eagerly nod, "yes, i can make a few things now but i still mess up here and there, and i get so frustrated having to unthread a patch." you frown just at the thought.
"i know right. back then when donghyuck-ie was little i used to make him blankets and sweaters. i'm sure i have pictures of them somewhere in this house." she tries to recall with her own daughter where those photos could be.
haechan next to you taps your thigh. when you face him he's holding up a spoonful of some pork belly with rice and kimchi, holding it up to your mouth.
you open your mouth as you take the spoonful of food in your mouth, humming in contentment from the flavorful taste. as if you're in your own world, you do a little happy dance, something haechan took notice of when you both began dating. you do a little happy dance when the food you're eating is good. your actions make him lean over as he places his soft lips on yours for a quick kiss.
your eyes widen, because he just did that like it was nothing in front of his family. as if it was just you guys at your place or the dorms.
you glance over at his family across from you, who had already caught the scene with their own eyes. but they found it cute seeing their oldest son being care free and happy with his partner. it's a side of donghyuck they've never seen before, but they're glad it's with you.
his little brothers too busy playing around with a perilla leaf to even notice what had happened.
you playfully swat his arm, as you try and hide your reddened cheeks. pretending to take interest in the green onion inside of your bowl of kimchi stew. you don't see how haechan is just cheekily staring at you.
his family around him, his favorite meals sitting on the table and his favorite girl with him. his heart and stomach full.

a/n: Hi lovelies! Here’s some Joon and Daisy/reader being cute and slightly obnoxious in a park during NYE. I hope you all enjoy and thanks so much for reading! :))
With your hand in your boyfriend’s, he spun you under his arm as giggles rang out from your smiling lips. Music hummed from your phone speaker in your opposite hand, Bill Withers soulful smooth voice echoing into the cold late-night air.
“And I want to be with you because you make me smile,” Namjoon sung lowly to you, causing you grin widely as he pulled you toward him, holding you close so your chest was pressed to his as he swayed you both back and forth. “Let it be me with you forever and a while,” he continued to sing as you pushed your lips to his dimpled cheek, lingering there for a moment.
The park was mostly empty as you began humming in a ultra-high pitched voice in accordance to the instrumental break in the song. Namjoon’s eyes squeezed shut as he laughed at you, dipping his face toward your neck where he nuzzled against your scarf.
“People are gonna think there’s a cat dying out here or something,” he teased as your hand wrapped around the back of his head, your fingers toying with the soft strands of his hair.
“I sound that good?” You asked with a smile, Namjoon’s chuckling continuing as he looked back to your face. “Wanna feature me on your next mixtape?” You joked, quirking your eyebrow.

Something felt wrong today.
It was one of those days where you returned back home from work, the long hours taking a toll on your drained body and your mind weighing heavily with unexpected burdens. Though today was no different from your usual schedule, you suddenly reached a limit of your own mentality; however, what could have triggered it? You cannot find one explanation or one reason why it would happen so suddenly.
To you, it was simply one of those days where you begin to crumble without much real reason; fingertips gripping onto the surface tightly yet begging to loosen, as though you didn’t mind the idea of falling.
Standing in front of the counter with a heavy chest, you came to a pause with what you were doing; the cup of ramen steaming in front of you, a cloud of heat rising and causing your own vision to become hazy. Tiredly, you look down at the softened noodles, the packets of spices sitting near your frozen hands. Slowly turning to the time displayed on the microwave with green, glowing numbers; you read the late numbers of the night, knowing your boyfriend will be coming home in a few minutes.
Knowingly, Johnny Suh would be returning with his own tiredness cursing his tensed body. But, you could vividly imagine him returning home with a smile appearing on his face upon seeing you; his whole body led to you, as though he had a set course every time he sees you - he is always navigating his way to you, no matter how heavy his body feels. No matter how his feet drags, he is approaching you with a warm smile and eyes flickering like a steady flame of a candle.

[8:43 pm]
Printed handouts, pens of different colors, paper clips, books, sticky notes, and many other things can be seen in your disorganized study desk. A usual scene in your one bedroom apartment as the season changes and the weather gets cold because it means the exams just started and you just know that many more assessments will be given in the coming days.
Getting your not-so-warm cup of tea and taking a little sip, you then check your phone for the time. It was almost 9pm and you’re still not done with the take home exam due the day after. Might be a little early for some to finish this, but you just don’t want this to coincide with a major exam on the same day of its deadline.
You do some stretching and then look at the overview of your work. “Wow, I am definitely not close to finishing this paper tonight. How long have I been just sitting here and doing this?” You can really give your full attention to tasks and accomplish them as early as possible. You try to keep this kind of time management so you can still have time for yourself before going to bed, but this take-home exam would just not allow it.
The white noise in your room was disrupted by your phone as a call came in.
Johnny Suh is calling…..
For someone in a 3-year relationship you have to admit that his contact name in your phone is a bit bland, and he’s been pestering you about it since the start.
Smiling widely, you answer his call and put it on speaker.
“What can I do for you Mr. John?”
“Wow, no ‘Hi babe, I miss you’ or something like ‘Hi baby, I’m glad you called’? What is happening to society nowadays?”
“Okay, fine. Hi Johnny, I miss you. There, happy?”, you reply dryly just to annoy him a bit.
Johnny is surely the more affectionate one in this relationship. The ways he makes you feel loved, it’s like he took a masterclass for it.
“You didn’t call me baby but okay. I haven’t heard from you the whole day, how are you? Are you very busy because of your upcoming exams?”
You explain to him that you are trying not to stack one assessment over another and that you try your best to finish your other assignments earlier so you have enough time to study for the exams and that you get a good amount of sleep too.
“Okay, I get it. But what were you doing the whole day? You didn’t even spare me a reply.”
It was evident from his voice that he was already pouting by now.
“I was doing my take-home exam, it’s due on Friday and I have an exam that day. I want to finish it already so I can study for my Chemistry exam without thinking about my other subjects. I’m about 60-65% done with it, I think”
“Okay, at least now I know you were not eaten by your closet monster.” He jokingly said. You can just imagine the big smile he had when he mentioned your closet monster, remembering that you told him about your childhood fear that Monsters Inc. was real. You smile shyly because he remembers the memories you treasure.
“Well, for me I just finished the varsity meeting and had my dinner there since they gave us salads. Now, I’m on my way to get some coffee. How about you, what did you get for dinner?”
Along with his affectionate side, your boyfriend has that kind of love a mother has.
“Actually I haven’t had dinner, I was ab-”, you were cut-off with a panicked voice.
“It’s already 9pm! Your last meal was around 1pm-ish. You should get enough sustenance, especially now that you're studying so much because of the exams. Having not enough food will make you sick. You being sick will make studying harder and-”
His over-caring side is sometimes annoying because of his never-ending sermons, but you do understand that it's from a place of love and since you go from different universities it's only seldom you can really spend time with him, unlike in highschool where you can have lunches together.
“Mom, chill. I get it, sorry I got lost doing my school work. Don’t worry after this call, I’ll have something delivered.”
“No, I won’t take that chance. We're going to get dinner.”
Of course you disagreed with what he said because you don’t want him to drive at this hour when he could be resting after his long day. “But John you just had dinner, I’ll just order something later”.
“No buts, I’ll meet you in our place in about 20 minutes tops.”
“Are you sure? I can just eat here in my apartment and you can just go home and rest already.”
“And don’t take the chance to see you and have yourself a little break? I don’t think so. I’ll see you there love.”
As you say your goodbyes and remind him to drive safely, a bigger smile is now plastered on your face. He’s a little stubborn but he's a very sweet guy. Maybe he was just using ‘dinner’ as an additional excuse to see you tonight? Maybe, maybe not. Nonetheless, you feel nothing but loved and cared for.
You got ready after the call and went straight to the café just below your apartment. This was the place where you and Johnny often celebrate milestones in your relationships since this is where you two first met. Your first encounter with him was in high school, when you were getting some pastry for an afternoon snack and he was ordering coffee and eventually you two started dating. Now, you are attending a university just near your high school alma mater while he chose a university downtown.
[9:17 pm]
You entered the cafe and there were a handful of students in there, some were studying and some were dining.
“Hey Y/N! Welcome, what can I get for you?”
The waiter asks as they recognize you.
“I’ll just order a cup of tea for now, I’m also waiting for Johnny”
“Sure, you can take your usual table.”
“Thanks you’re the best.”
Time went by quickly and you just received a message from him saying that he had arrived in the building and was just looking for a parking space. Seconds after, you see him in his after school clothes, and has that sweet smile he always does when he sees you. He approached you with his twinkling eyes and glorious smile.
“Hi love, did you order already?”, he leaned down a bit to place a short kiss in your forehead,
“Not yet, I was waiting for you.”
He sat down and asked for a menu from one of the waiters and politely said thank you when he was handed it. Both of you made your choices and the waiter wrote it down also noting that your food will be ready in about 10 to 15 minutes.
“So what is your schedule for the rest of the week?”
“I have this take-home exam due on friday, a major exam on friday too, and lastly a discussion forum by friday at 8PM. But no biggie, the discussion forum is gonna be a piece of cake.”
“That’s my smart baby right there.”
“I’m not smart, I just try to do my best in every assessment.”
“Yes you are the most hardworking person I know, but please don’t forget to take care of yourself and have breaks okay? For the times that things get overwhelming, don’t hesitate to call for me because I’ll be there. When you need breaks, I'll always be there to cheer you up. Always. Just for you.”
What he doesn’t know is that just by seeing his smile, you’re already energized and you feel like you can overcome anything.
“I know, thank you for everything Johnny.”
“I love you, I’m here every step of the way.”

johnny x female reader fluff
synopsis: nct 127 is on tour in la and you unexpectedly meet johnny 3 times.
pic creds to the name in the picture
you walked into lax breathing in the california air, “it’s good to be back right?” your mom asks you. “It really is, there’s only so many deep dishes one can eat in chicago. I think I ate one each day”.
Your mom giggled, “you did”
You laughed and walked towards baggage claim, “why is it so packed over there?”
You pointed out to your mom a bunch of people coming into your eye view.
“Well it is lax, maybe a celebrity”
“True”
You make your way to get your bags and somehow get lost to a crowd of people. There was shoving and yelling and you were very confused. Suddenly the crowd screams, you turn around and see a group of guys guarded by other guys walking towards your area.
Different names were being yelled but you caught the names Mark, Haechan, Taeil, Doyoung, and Johnny. You glanced at a sign of a girl in the crowd and read it. “We Love Nct 127”.
Oh! I did an article on them before
As a journalist you usually wrote on different topics but the main topic was music. You had written about how nct 127 managed to grow their fanbase out to the US two years ago.
You turned around to tell ur mom and could barely find her in the crowd, “let’s go this way instead”
You gently grabbed her arm so she couldn’t be lost in the crowd and you eventually found your way to a less crowded area behind a long curtain covering the other side.
You felt a tap on your shoulder. You turn around to see a security guard“Excuse me you can’t be here. An artist is coming and can’t risk any fans being-”
“Sorry but I’m just trying to get my bags I was on a flight”
“Oh you’re in the wrong spot, it’s over there”
“Oh well thank you, but I can barely see where I’m going there’s so many people here and for me to go back through that crowd-”
“Okay hold on” he inturruped “just stay here and give me your info and I’ll have someone bring your bags here.”
“Thank you sir” your mom said. You thanked him also. He gave you paper to right your info on. “We’ll try to get these quickly so you can leave before the artist gets here” He leaves to relay your information.
You turned to your mom, “I did an article on these boys, they’re a kpop group”
“Oh well that makes a lot of sense”
You hear footsteps approaching and look that way to see 9 men walk infront of you. They didn’t noticed you or your mom since they were talking to each other in korean.
The security guard from earlier came back and noticed they arrived, he gestured for the both of you to leave immediately, not wanting to cause a scene.
You stand up and grab your purse until you hear a man speak to you, “nice shoes”
You look at him, “oh thank you! sorry we’re in here we got lost with all these people and we’re waiting for our suitcase but we’re leaving now”
The man nodded his head, “i just figured you were our new manager” he chuckles.
You laughed at his sarcasm and then looked back at your mom “ready?”
“You don’t have to leave, you’re not bothering us seriously, you can wait til your bags come”
“We don’t want to get in your way”
“We’ll be fine” He smiled and then turned back to his friends to say something in korean.
You thanked him and sat back and just decided to take his word for it.
“Well he’s handsome” your mom said to you.
“Yeah they all are”
“Excuse me!” The security guard came to where you guys are, “Didn’t I tell you to leave?” He turned towards the boys, “I’m so sorry these people aren’t leaving I’ll call backup to escort-”
“No it’s okay, there will be no escorting” The boy who talked to you earlier says, “let them be, I told them they could stay.”
The security guard nodded and walked away, “Thanks” You said to him.
He shook his head, “are you home or visiting”
“I’m home, we’re home”
He looked at your mom and said hello, “well I’m Johnny, I’m sort of a big deal if you can’t tell”
You giggle at his joke and then debate to tell him about your article.
“I’m y/n, and this is my mom y/m/n” By this time all of the boys where looking in your direction. They waved.
“Where are you coming from?”
“Chicago”
Another member gasped and then laughed.
“I’m from there!”
“Really?”
“Yeah did you like it?”
“I did actually I was just joking with my mom that I might’ve had too many deep dish pizzas”
Johnny laughed at pointed at one of his friends, “Mark over here can relate”
“Now I want one” Mark added.
The security guard came back with luggage, “here’s your bags ladies”
You stood up along with your mom and collected the bags, “thank you”
You turned to the boys, “well nice meeting you”
“Nice meeting you too” Johnny gave you a smile and shook your hand.
The rest waved at you and your mom as they watched you guys leave the area.
Johnny soon felt a light jab in his side, “Johnny why wouldn’t you ask for her number, and don’t lie to me you were being a bit too friendly” Jaehyun said in Korean while elbowing Johnny.
“I was nervous”
“Jaehyuns right that could’ve been your God sent soulmate and you just ruined it” Mark added.
“If she’s my God sent soulmate I’ll see her again”
Yuta sighed.
“If we see her again it’s my turn” Taeyong said laughing.
“Happy birthday!”
You hug your mom and hand her a card.
She goes to open it and two tickets fall out, she read it with anticipation, “The Jennifer Hudson Show!”
“Suprise!” You hugged your mom!
Jennifer Hudson is your moms favorite singer. When you found out she was coming out with her own talk show you were quick to get a ticket on your moms birthday.
*********************
You got to the studio and there were already a lot of people in line, mostly young girls. You immediately notice the merch they had on.
“No way”
“What?” Your mom asked
“One second” You tapped the shoulder of the girl infront of you, “excuse me is nct 127 here today?”
“Yes”, she said excitedly.
“Oh that’s nice” You laugh quietly to yourself and relay it to your mother.
“Well that’s a coincidence” She giggled.
*********************
“Please Welcome NCT 127!” Jennifer said and the crowd cheered.
You and your mom watched nct 127 perform. “Wow they’re good” You said.
After the performance Jennifer had nct introduce themselves and speak about their album. Johnny spoke the most and you found yourself liking the way he carries himself.
*********************
After the show your mom was smiling from ear to ear but she didn’t know what else you had planned for her. Your friend who worked at this studio helped you get the tickets and also arranged for your mom to meet and take a picture with Jennifer!
“Wait we’re not going home right yet”
“What do you mean?”
“Wait here for a second”
Soon your friend came out and said hi to you both, “Follow me”
Your mom and you both followed her leading you to the backstage area and you glanced at the all rooms. You instantly saw nct 127 taking a picture and made eye contact with Mark but you kept walking.
Mark recognized you and hit Johnnys arm.
“Dude you have got to stop hitting me”
“No, Johnny that’s y/n. From the airport.”
“Oh please Mark i’m not falling for that”
“Johnny it was her why would I lie about that”
Johnny rolled his eyes, “Finish taking the picture then you can show me her”
“Is mark hallucinating?” Doyoung asked while laughing.
“I’m not”
Meanwhile you were already watching your mom have an entire conversation with Jennifer about how she rooted for her since she was at the start of her career and listens to all her songs.
“Thank you! You have a very sweet daughter planning this for you”
Your mom looked back at you, “I know”
They talked a bit more and took a picture with each other. You thanked your friend and an idea popped into her head, “wanna act like we have our own talk show?” She questioned.
“You haven’t changed a bit have you” You giggle.
Both of you walk on the sound stage and sit on the couches. You tell all the empty chairs, “welcome to the y/n show”
At the same time Mark is dragging Johnny around trying to find you, but instead he sees your mom.
“See look Johnny is that not her mom”
Johnny almost immediately says no until he looks closely, “oh wait it is”
“Told you”
They then hear two girls laughing and talking on the sound stage, they give each other a look.
“You know what’s crazy”
“What” your friend asked you.
“Yesterday I met nct 127, and now they’re here”
“What! Where?”
“At the airport and Johnny was speaking to me and everything it’s a long story”
“Do you think they’ll remember you”
“I mean yes but I don’t think they’d actually care” You laughed.
“Next Mission: go to nct 127”
She grabbed your arm to get you off the couch, but let go when she heard footsteps approach the stage.
It was Mark and Johnny.
“Y/n?”
“Hi!” You fixed your hair a bit
“Do you work here or are you stalking me”
You laugh “neither” you pointed to your friend, “she works here though and she got me tickets it’s my moms birthday and she likes jennifer hudson so i surprised her i didn’t know you guys were going to be here isn’t that ironic” you said a bit too fast to the point where it seemed like you were lying.
“Yeah it is ironic. Happy birthday to your mom” He said.
“Happy birthday. Johnny didn’t believe me when I said I saw you”
“Oh I saw you too but you guys looked busy”
“Nah” Mark said.
Your phone started to ring, “it’s my mom”
“Honey don’t forget we have reservations”
“You’re right I’m coming” You turned to your friend, Mark, and Johnny.
“Got her a spot at this fancy restaurant for lunch, don’t want to lose it”
Your friend hugged you, “stop by again”
“Thank you so much” you hugged back.
You waved at Johnny and Mark before leaving the three of them on the sound stage.
*********************
“I actually can’t believe you managed to do that again.” Mark was slightly annoyed with Johnny for missing his chance a second time.
“She was in a rush I don’t know what you wanted me to say”
“You know what Johnny” Haechan said, “you have this persona of being the guy who gets what he likes but when you see a girl you actually like not once but twice you become nervous”
“Yeah!” Mark agreed, “that’s supposed to be my thing!”
The guys laughed in the group bus.
“If we see her again i promise I’ll say something”
“And how is that gonna happen.”
“If she’s my God sent soulmate it’ll happen.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it” Jungwoo says.
You were at work writing for your column when your boss walked up to your station.
“Clear your plans for today” He says.
“You know I have no plans”
He laughs, “Good, cause we have an assignment for you”
“I’m listening”
“Teen Vogue wants an article on the group Nct 127, ever heard of them?”
You close your eyes and nod slowly
God what are you trying to tell me?
“Yeah I know them, I’ve done an article for them before”
“Good! So you’re familiar. They want it to be centered around their concert today so you’ll be going. Before you leave come pick up the backstage pass and tickets, they want a short interview as well”
“No way”
“What? Are you a fan?”
“No it’s just…nothing” You laughed to yourself, “How many tickets?”
“Two”
“Got it”
*********************
You called your friend from the Jennifer Hudson show while driving home, “hi y/n”
“Clear your plans for the day”
“Why?”
“You wouldn’t believe it”
“Lemme guess”
“Okay”
“Something to do with Nct 127”
“Yup you guessed right, is this not crazy? Or is it just me.”
“Maybe it’s not. It’s fate”
“Lol, I’m interviewing them after their concert and I have an extra ticket. Wanna come?”
“Girl why not”
“That’s the spirit! I’ll text you the details”
“Okay see you!”
Once you got home you called your mom and told her.
“Okay at this point you guys should exchange numbers”
“I’d be fired if i asked that, He’d have to ask me”
“Maybe he’s your God-sent soulmate”
“Mhm sure”
*********************
“NCT! NCT! NCT! NCT!”
The crowd was yelling their name for an encore. Including the two of you.
“Do you think that’s it?” She asked.
“It can’t be”
Soon the came out and everyone cheered, they were in their tour merch.
They all spoke and sang one last song
*********************
“They must be so tired and now they have to do an interview”
“At least it’s you you’ll probably wake them up”
“Funny”
A lady came out and walked towards you “they’re ready”
“Okay thank you” you turned to your friend, “see you later”
You walked into the room and the first person you made eye contact with was Johnny.
He stood up, “Okay now you’re stalking us”
“I’m not I promise” you showed your pass, “I’m here with teen vogue”
“You’re a journalist?” Mark asked.
“ That i am”
“I’m joking but that’s just crazy” Johnny sat back down and noticed some of the members laughing.
Jaehyun got up to hug you, “Hi I didn’t get to introduce myself before I’m Jaehyun”
“Nice to meet you” You hugged back.
He smirked at Johnny when he turned back around to sit.
“Well I’m johnny but you already know that”
“Really? I don’t think we’ve met”
They all laughed.
“Your performance was amazing,” you turned to Taeil. “Your voice is incredible. Do you have any special teas or sprays that keep your voice intact”
You got straight into the questions, keeping them engaged while already planning your next question.
Once you finished the last question you got up from your seat. “That’s a wrap thank you guys”
Mark practically pushed Johnny out of his chair, “go”
“Um- y/n before you go, i have a question for you”
“Yeah?”
He walked over to you “Um. I like your bracelet”
“You do?” You lifted your wrist to show him the bracelet more clearly. It was one of those makeshift friendship bracelets but the word believe was written on it in beads.
“That’s not a question” you said to him.
“Yeah”, he played with the beads on your bracelet and you realized he was nervous.
“Since we’ve already seen each other so often this week, maybe we should like keep in contact or something” Johnny said extremely fast but you still heard what he said.
Taeyong squealed and haechan hit him on the arm “shh”
“Yeah I agree”
You smiled and he took his phone out of his pocket with one hand while still mindlessly playing with your bracket with his other hand. He unlocked it and handed it to you. You decided to use your free hand as well so he could continue with the bracelet thing. The quietness was loud.
“Here you go” you said handing his phone back. You pulled your hand from his hold and removed your bracelet. You gently grabbed his wrist and put it on on his.
“Keep it”
He had nothing to give you at the moment so he leaned in and kissed your cheek.
Now it was time for the rest of the members to squeal
Johnny cringed, “sorry about them”
You laughed, “keep an eye out for the article okay?”
He nodded and watched you leave the room.
“I TOLD YOU! GOD SENT SOULMATE” Mark said a bit too loud
*********************
After explaining every single thing that happened to your friend in the car on the way home with your mom on speaker, you received a text.
“Can you read it for me” you asked your friend.
“Aww! It’s says have a good night y/n - Johnny”
“Y/f/n, now google how to do long distance”
She laughed, “or you both can just runaway together”
“His fans would find us for sure”
“Wait let’s find his instagram”
“No i’m not ready”
“AHH”
“What? Don’t scream when i’m driving”
“Sorry but he posted the bracelet on his story”
“Really?”
“Yes please invite me to the wedding”
You laughed, “what an interesting week it has been”
hope you guys enjoyed this might be one of my favorite stories i’ve ever written! pls comment with ur thoughts

summary - you have a bucket list of things you would like to do before you die.
bucket list
you rummaged through the drawer of your nightstand, tossing out old receipts, rubber bands, and other random knick-knacks that you really didn’t need but kept anyway “just in case.”
your fingers finally wrapped around a thick card-sized envelope and you yanked it out of the drawer triumphantly, instantly recognizing the pale yellow color and your name written on the outside.
a knock on the door made you spin around and instinctively hide the card behind your back. haechan opened the door, leaning casually against the doorway, and smiled gently at you in a way that made you forget you were supposed to be annoyed with him for how secretive he was.
“did you find what you were looking for?”
you nodded before walking out into the living room and sitting down on the couch. you patted the seat to you left and haechan obliged, sitting close enough that your thighs touched.
you did your best to ignore mark from where he was standing just a few feet away. he had insisted on coming with you to retrieve your belongings, for added protection and since haechan couldn’t drive.
“it’s the card my dad wrote for me when i was born,” you said quietly, your usual energy tempered. “it’s been a while since i’ve read it.”
your fingers trembled as you opened the flap of the envelope and slid the plain white card out, the only embellishment being a simple watercolor of a few hydrangeas on the front.
haechan hesitantly wrapped an arm around your waist, moving slowly and watching carefully for any signs that it would be unwelcome in the moment. he relaxed when you instinctively leaned towards him, the subtle shift in your body language not going unnoticed by mark from his position by the window.
“will you tell me about it?” haechan asked softly, seeming to have forgotten you weren’t alone.
you opened the card and ran your fingers down rook’s scrawl-like handwriting. you swallowed heavily to keep the tears stinging your eyes at bay.
“nothing to tell really, he wrote stuff about how much he loved me already and couldn’t wait to show me the world,” you said quietly, your voice breaking. you cleared your throat. “he wrote a list of things he wanted me to experience.”
you grabbed a pen from your purse and proceeded to cross out items on the list, stopping only to circle the last one.
fall in love
haechan leaned in closer, running his finger down the list of crossed out words before pausing on the last one and looking up at you quizzically.
your throat was suddenly dry. you dropped your gaze towards your lap. “jay doesn’t count,” you whispered. “that wasn’t love. my dad would want me to be with someone who loves me for me.”
haechan tilted your chin up with a finger so you were looking into his eyes again. “i hope one day i could be that someone,” haechan murmured, tucking a loose strand of your hair behind your ear.
your breath caught in your throat and you blushed under his intense glaze. “well, you’re certainly, um,” you paused and glanced away to collect yourself, making eye contact with mark inadvertently. your body tensed subconsciously, warring with itself to stay in haechan’s warmth and ignore mark’s magnetic pull.
you tore your eyes away from the pained look on mark’s face and forced a smile.
“you make it easy, haechan,” you said, your own smile growing genuinely in response to haechan’s, despite the soft bitter edge in your voice and how it cut through mark like a knife.
yoongi x reader genre: fluff word count:
note: this piece was written by mads, @aurorassadprosee. She initially wrote this one for my birthday in 2019 :( isn’t that sweet? It’s influenced by “New Year’s Day” by Taylor Swift, and if you know the song, you’ll probably see the references. Anyways, this is a really cute fic and I hope you all enjoy! xo
WITH a head swimming with alcohol and body buzzing with warmth, you place one bare foot sloppily in front of the other, fits of giggles escaping your mouth.
Supported by the dark haired man next to you, you both stumble out of the crowded bar, arm-in-arm, into the cool air.
The street lights shine, splitting into four as your vision tries to focus, the sound of horns blaring and tires hitting puddles fill your ears.
The rush of 1am.
Carrying a pair of heels in two fingers, goosebumps start to appear on your bare arms, a slight shiver coming to your breath as you lean your head against Yoongi’s neck.
Swaying down the dirty pavement of New York, streams of people brush past, breath white against the air.
You see a blur of individuals walking briskly, couples, like yourselves, huddled together, and groups of rowdy men drunkenly stumbling to their next drink.
Cheek hot against his skin, the smell his cologne fills your senses, the dry martinis, whiskey sours and double scotches are starting to set in.

jeonghan x reader genre: angst; fluff word count: 3K
a/n: Hi lovelies! Here’s a Jeonghan fic that was inspired by two songs in particular: “Don’t Go Changing” by Ylona Garcia, and “Beg For You” by Charli XCX feat. Rina Sawayama and Vernon (particularly Vernon’s verse). Jeonghan and reader have sincere feelings for each other but things are complicated. That’s all. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for reading! :))
Watching Jeonghan sleep, you thought back to when you had last seen him before that night. It had been two weeks earlier, and it was a week before that time. Too long, you thought. But that was ok, or at least it had to be, because Jeonghan wasn’t your boyfriend. Admiring his peaceful state as his deep breaths filled the silence of the dimly lit room, you had to remind yourself of that. It didn’t matter that he let himself into your apartment just hours earlier with his own key, or that he had left a hoodie at your place weeks earlier that only left your closet when you wanted to wear it against your skin, and it didn’t even matter that he was naked and asleep in your bed, shrouded in floral sheets that smelled like you. He wasn’t your boyfriend, and things were complicated.
Dragging your gaze over his features, disbelief racked your brain as you processed his existence. It was unfair how pretty he was as he slept, mostly because you were certain you looked less than appealing in slumber, but also because he wasn’t really yours to admire. How dare he be so attractive sleeping in your bed and not be yours. He slept on his side, your comforter draped over his hips leaving just his torso bare for your appreciation. The smooth skin of his chest was tempting you to reach out and place your hand over his heart to feel it’s pulse. You loved the fact that he was alive. And he was there with you. Even if he wasn’t yours. Even if he wasn’t staying.

(17:27) hair dye.
"you want to what?" mark asked, a bit taken aback by the unexpected request. "come on mark! it will be fun, and you get to spend some quality time with your favourite person!" you pleaded, taking steps closer. "i don't see renjun around- ow?!" he started before you had given him a punch on his upper arm. he send you a small glare that quickly turned into an amused eye roll. "come on markie poodle." you asked, clinging onto his arm and slightly lifting yourself up on your tippy toes. "what did you just call me?" mark laughed out, tears almost forming in his eyes. "okay, okay. but if the company says something you better take the punishment for me." you smiled in victory, grabbing his hand to lead the both of you to the bathroom. "i promise on my grave that i will take any blame. now let's go and dye our hair." you said excitedly, dragging mark with you. he looked at the back of your head with a smile that held so much adoration. his gaze was usually like that with you. full of unspoken words that he couldn't find the right sentences for to show you how much he adored you. no mix of words doing any justice to how he really felt.
"you're going to look so hot with brown hair." you had told him and he couldn't help but chuckle. "it's just a shade lighter than black, nothing to be complimenting me about." he responding back. "well, you're the mark lee, why wouldn't i compliment you." you questioned and mark couldn't hold back the grin on his face. and as you made eye contact through the mirror, you smiled just as wide. "in that case, you'll look even better than i did with any hair colour." he returned the compliment and you hid your face behind his head, making him laugh out loud. "you're supposed to be the shy loser in this relationship, mark. stick to your job!" you slapped his shoulder as his laugh died down. "i'm sorry, i will go back to being that shy loser if that's the mark lee you like so much." mark said, his hand reaching out to his shoulder where your left hand was placed. he slightly craned his neck to look up at you. "but just know, i meant every bit of it." he sent you a soft smile and you could feel your whole body melt. who had you saved in your past life to deserve such an amazing human being and get to call him yours. "shush." you smiled back, ignoring the way your heart was erratically beating.
. i seriously can't stop thinking of how good mark looks this comeback, may they never ever cut his hair again.

wc: IDKKK GAH genre: fluff/domestic/suggestive?/angst???/established relationships nonidol!dreamies/always self-indulgent lol
cw/note: no cws i dont think! count how many mf times i mentioned studying in this LMAO :| v long, i went overboard EEK enojoy!!!
mark... back rubs. he screams back rubs to me idk. like back rubs but also if you're stressed, he gives such good like upper back and shoulder massages like HELLO. the best part is he doesn't even really know he does it. its like those videos of him fixing hyucks posture, it comes so naturally to him. it almost relaxes him too, to just have you sit on a cushion in the floor in between his calves, while he dangles his legs over the sides of your arms and gives you the most earth shattering shoulder rub you've ever had, he finds comfort in your comfort and lets out all his stresses on your back as well lol. reserved for quiet moments, like usually when you're on the floor studying and he senses you both need a break or you're both watching a movie on the couch and he sets a pillow on the floor and you're already in position bc you've gone through the motions so many times lol. but sometimes he'll just rub your shoulders or neck while you're both just... shopping, cooking, walking, or while mark is waiting for his turn to play while watching chenle shoot a basketball with yangyang. v soft and nice, ur posture and shoulders feel better than ever (even ur lower back like he will dig his knuckles into any place on your back its insane)
renjun... online shopping next to each other. ITS SO... ok hear me out. he's a material girl, therefore converting you into a material girl... its just nice like, using a bit of your hard earned money on nice things is just... nice! you'll sit next to each-other and put on y'all's favorite comfort cartoon and go to town on buying makeup, skincare, a bed for your shared bunny, sweaters, you name it. its like the modern day instances you see in movies where the married couple reads before they go to bed TT. every once in a while he'll start poking your upper thigh asking questions and showing you cute things he finds or maybe you mentioned a problem you had with your skin or something and he's showing you some skincare/makeup products he found that might work for you or just clothes he thinks will look good on you. its cute when you both share a computer as well and just browse together. makes for quality time and helps both of you guys gauge each-others tastes and def helps when planning gift ideas. its funny though how much he would shift positions though LMAO like one second he has his legs straight up in the air resting on the headboard with his phone over his face and next thing myou know he's in fetal position or grabbing your ankles to pull your lower half over his thighs to prop his laptop up on your legs haha
jeno... crocheting. LIKE THINK ABOUT IT, this tall, lean man who's 40% veins and 60% just pure muscle LOVES to sit down and make little hats for you and your shared cats and its... like its insane. neither of you guys knew how to do it until you saw videos of people on tiktok making hats and little accessories for their pets, and it inspired you. the next time you go grocery shopping with jen, you sneak away to the craft section and snatch a crochet starter kit. when you bring it back to the cart, he looks at you a little questioningly but you give him a smile and he ruffles your hair and demands you to promise to teach him. now you have a box tucked under your bed filled with small hats you and jeno have made your cats the hats he's made you are in your closet hehe. you do this at least once every two weeks. you sit down and come to a consensus about what to make and you both begin rummaging through the different colored yarn. when jeno's hands get too tired, he's pulling you to lay in between his legs by grabbing the sides of your hips. he doesn't mind sitting in silence but... if you're there... he's so talkative. so much to the point where sometimes you have to stop because he's making you laugh or react so much that your hands are shaking a ton and you keep messing up which only makes you guys laugh even harder TT, picturing him laughing so much he tucks his head into your neck to muffle his sounds or wrapping his arms around your waist tighter every time you tell a good joke... gah
haechan... watching your show. not a show that you're in just a show you share LOL but to me... intimate moments with haechan are a lot more personal and emotional? idk why i think of him that way after you guys have a long talk or even sit in silence for a while and come to a mutual understanding that u both need movie time, the best way to end the night and stop the tears is watching both of ya'll's favorite show. it could be something that came out years ago or something you both wait to air every friday BUT it's just nice! it could also be a movie, but just washing away the bad day, or even ending a good day on a better note, it's a moment where nothing else matters. on his bed, with the biggest white comforter he could find, like 17 plushies, turning the lights off but having the room be lit by the golden hour lamp he has as well as any scattering lava lamps or light up trinkets he has like the heart shaped fairy lights you got him, 3-5 strawberry cake scented candles lit and its just UGHHHH. both of you are both fresh and showered with dewy faces from your skincare, hair and bangs being held up by matching bear headbands he bought. OHH and the show HAS to match the season. scoobydoo mystery incorporated to celebrate october 1st... uhm YEAH! anyways you share his laptop which is covered in stickers he had made of you and his friends or just like random stuff, his wallpaper is you, his profile picture for hbo max is you and his password is your name/his nickname for you as he snakes his arms over you, he lays his head on your chest and drapes one leg over your waist like a koala.
jaemin... late night convenience store visits. jaemin seems like a night person! he lives such a quiet life to people that don't know him very well, just walking around being gorgeous and smiling softly to everyone. until he meets you and he feels like he can be himself and is encouraged to by someone other than the dreamies. sure he has the other neos but not everyone knows him like you and jeno do. as friends, you would notice him on social media late at night while you were scrolling as a break from studying. constantly posting aesthetic night pictures of him and his views at the park or random, weird looking snack he sees on his private snapchat story. now, he has you to go with! moments like this are used as breaks from studying or just 2 am cravings for pizza bites. you both talk about nothing or everything in these moments. he has an entire folder dedicated to pictures of you in his phone and almost 80% are in the 7/11 across the street. OHH and one time you went to japan on a study abroad together and he lost his mind because the late night stores there are so good and omg he freaked out about everything and about how pretty you looked under the lights, etc. best two months of his LIFE. now he posts pictures of you in his private story instead. the dreamies lose their minds every time he posts bc oh my gosh, he used to go alone and they were all so worried about him but little did they know he just loves to look around and stuff or sometimes he would just go in hopes that he would catch you bc the store is in the middle of both of yalls apartments and NOWW he has you!!!! and they adore you as well and you bring out the best in jae. ugh :")
chenle...getting ready together. every moment with you, to him, is intimate. but he loves seeing you evolve from the moment you wake up puffy and sleepy, to picking out your outfit, and doing your hair or makeup if you wear it and he loves see you in your element. its such a personal thing to get ready together because, its something that was once done alone, until you found each other and moved in together. playing an any winehouse vinyl and having the crackling noises and music be muffled by his high-pitched laughter when he tries to style your hair and does an awful job or when he tries to help you brush up your eyebrows and makes them into a weird shape like!!!! and oh my god he laughs so loud you would think he was watching the funniest stand up routine in the world like jesus TT you have to remind him through laughs and a hand to his mouth that you do in-fact live in a complex with other people lol. but in all seriousness you are letting him into your personal bubble!!! and aren't even mad/awkward with him because he's touching you like this!!! you trust him this much, especially considering he knows how much you value alone time and personal space or just... even letting anyone see you in your rawest form. ofc he's honored to help you get ready and aids in picking out your outfit for lecture or work if you actually wear the outfit he gets so smug and flirty but he's practically bright red. and vice versa!! he likes propping you up on the bathroom sink and letting you help him trim his brows, put pomade in his hair, put on his moisturizer while he cages your figure by putting his hands on the granite next to your thighs, which encourages you to link your ankles behind his back. TOOTHPASTE KISSES... need i say more!?
jisung... watching him dance. I KNOW OK, basic but i mean come on, he's incredible and its a big part of him yet he's kinda blissfully unaware but also cocky in a way where he will do some insane combo or move and everyone starts freaking out and he's just stops mid dance and looks around like o_0 and is so confused as to why... like he's just... he didn't think it was that big of a deal LMAO. but he started to have so much more assurance in himself especially once he starts inviting you to the studio with him. he begs you to come, it usually doesn't take much persuasion but you were mid task or studying lol and you're like... babe can i finish... and NO RESPONSE he just smirks and shuts your laptop and goes over to you and drapes you over his shoulder or police style drags you out of the room by caging you in with his long ass arms while dragging you out the door. when in the studio its kind of a toss up of what genre he does but he tends to always allocate a certain genre to a certain feeling that plagued him that week. if he's had a hard week, it gets a million times better once he see your eyes full of adoration though the mirror and he stops mid dance giggling and runs over to you and hides his faces in your criss-crossed lap babygirl agenda BUTT if he's had a good week or something positive happened, he LOVES to drag you to the mirror and show you what he's learning. whether you're bad or you dance as often as him, he's always enamored. on more chill days though you justdance battle it out on the giant flat screen tv tucked away in the corner. he reaches over to the nobs on the wall and the music is so loud, but not loud enough to muffle the laughter and thuds of both of you guys falling to the floor from cackling so hard yes his dance teacher is mad lol
Say it again.

Donghyuck is no gentleman, is what you've learned from dating him for 2 years. At least, not to other people.
Mark Lee says he has too much of a soft spot for you, his teasing remarks are never as harsh as it is to his other friends, and he's much more loving.
'Then go date him,' is all you had to say to Mark, with Donghyuck giggling at the thought of dating Mark a moment later. However, you think he is right.
You've been dating for 2 years already, and not once have you told him you love him. Of course, you do love him. With your whole heart, but it's a little hard for you to express it through words. Donghyuck had first told you by the first 6 months of your relationship, and clarified that it was okay if you didn't say it back.
It's been a year since then, and you wonder how he's been able to keep himself back from asking you every time you kiss his cheek or nod instead of saying it back.
As you said, Lee Donghyuck is no gentleman to others, but to you, he is the gentlest.
Hence why he spent over 2 weeks planning this trip, the current one you're on, a little trip to the beach, after seeing how incredibly stressed you've been due to midterms.
And now here you sit, in his trunk, watching as he picks up shells from the bay. You went on over and decided to chill in the warm heater of the car after being pushed into the water by none other than your lover. You were going to scold him, if it weren't for his giggles and cheek kisses. They make you incredibly soft.
This whole trip has you in a daze, unable to fully grasp the fact that Donghyuck really took his time to arrange all this. Your heart swirls and your insides feel too fuzzy for you to dislike it.
The sensations grow stronger when Donghyuck comes running back to the car with a grin, his palms all full with pretty shells.
"Hi baby, you doing okay here?"
You can't help but grin back, nodding. "It's warm, I like it."
He plants his lips on yours momentarily, and mumbles, "Good to know,"
Donghyuck then drops all the shells in his hands, dusting all the sand off his fingertips. "Planning on giving the guys some shells, Chenle would go crazy for these things."
A smile curls at your lips, knowing that Chenle would indeed go crazy for shells. You don't know why though.
"Of course, you get most of them. All the pretty ones,"
If it were even possible, your smile stretches wider, reaching your ears, and you tighten the towel around you as if it would ground you from the amount of love you feel towards Donghyuck.
And then it hits you. The urge to say the 3 words. It's so easy, it's perfect, you feel it completely towards Donghyuck, even if he's just tossing shells into a container.
"I love you," It slips out without you knowing, oh so naturally, and you feel complete satisfaction when you say it. Why have you never done it before?
Donghyuck doesn't seem to notice at first, as it came out as a quiet mumble. He does realize you've said something a moment later, turning to you. "Hmm, what was that baby? I didn't catch that,"
Your heart thumps, but it's not out of nervousness, it's excitement, it's pure happiness, it's love. Your lips part, and the words slip out once again, so naturally, and it feels 10 times better than before. "I love you,"
Donghyuck stops completely in his tracks, eyes widening and lips gaped. "W-what?"
"I love you."
Donghyuck scrambles next to you, his hands trembling as he takes yours in them. His touch is soft, softer than usual, intertwining them in a lock. "You love me?"
"I love you, goddamn it!"
A smile finally lifts his lips up, his grin brighter than ever. His eyes glisten, and you're not sure if it's because of his happiness, or the glistening of the bright sun in his eyes, or tears. You want to believe he’s just feeling happy, you wouldn’t want him to cry.
It’s a little bit too late for you to be wishing that, as he sniffles with a laugh, dragging you into his embrace as he attacks your cheeks, your nose, chin, eyelids, every inch of your skin with kisses and much love.
His hands leave yours as you try to push him away with laughs, instead clasping at your cheeks, as he leaves a long kiss on your forehead. He pulls away, alas, but you’re sure he’s not finished. Donghyuck has tears glistening on his cheeks, but they’re far from sorrow, they’re signs of love, adoration and utmost care.
He sighs, almost dreamily, as you softly wipe his tears away.
“Say it again,” He murmurs into your palm.
“I love you,” You repeat.
“Again?”
“I love you,”
“Again.”
“Lee Donghyuck, I love you! How many times must I say it before you believe me?”
This loving smile quirks up into a playful smirk, as he taps a finger to his chin to feign contemplation. “A thousand.”
Donghyuck grows confused when you pull away from his hug, watching as you hop back into your seat in his car trunk. A knowing grin creeps on his lips when you get comfortable, and pull out your fingers.
“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love Lee Donghyuck, I love Donghyuck Lee, I love Peter Lee, I love my loving boyfriend whom I love–”
“Alright! I get it, you love me!” His playful and teasing tone is back, and his gaze has a hint of mischief as well, as he climbs next to you.
Instantly, he brings you into his embrace, planting a kiss on your lips, laughing at the light taste of sea salt and sand. There’s a silence between you too, ever so peaceful, as you listen to only Donghyuck’s heartbeat, and the swaying of the sea.
Your lover breaks the silence not long after that, looking down at you, causing you to automatically look up at him.
“Say it one more time?”
“I love you, Lee Donghyuck,”
FInally, a sense of peace and assurance waves over him after minutes of disbelief. You can sense this, you can almost physically see it as he shuts his eyes as if to savor the moment.
His fingers dance with yours in a lock, “I love you more.”

"y/n, you've been typing on your laptop forever," jisung said to you as he hugged you from behind. he kissed the crown of your head, "you should get ready for bed," he added while watching you type on your laptop.
"i'm almost done, babe," you replied, knowing that he wouldn't go to bed without you by his side.
jisung rested his head on your shoulder while you finished up an assignment that was due in a few hours. he tightened his grip around you as you typed and gave you another kiss on your head. soon, you finished your assignment and turned it in before closing your laptop.
"okay, all done. jisung, did you fall asleep while standing?" you asked him. he hummed to signal that he was still awake. "let's go to bed," you said to him.
he lifted his head from your shoulder, "but i want to hang out a little."
"you have to wake up early, remember?" you said to him and started walking with him still attached to you. "and you were the one who said to get ready for bed. let's go to sleep."
"no."
"babe, you have to get up early tomorrow," you said to him and walked into the bathroom. you started brushing your teeth and handed jisung his toothbrush. "are you going to let me go anytime soon?" you asked him.
"nope," he replied with a grin on his face and both of you continued getting ready for bed. once you were both done with your skin care routine, you laid in bed while jisung took his hoodie off. he got into bed and hugged you tightly.
"hey, too tight," you said to him.
"sorry," jisung apologized and loosened his grip around you. "do you want to grab lunch tomorrow? there's a new restaurant near the movie theater that i want to try."
"but don't you have to work all day tomorrow?" you asked and reached over him to turn the lamp off. you turned the lamp off and went back to laying on the bed.
"i can probably sneak away to get lunch," he mentioned. you kissed him on the lips, "hey..." you could tell that he was pouting.
"what?"
"i can't see you..." he said and hugged you. then, he heavily yawned.
you giggled, "i think it's time to go to sleep, mister," you said to him. "wake me up before you leave tomorrow, okay?"
"i will. i love you," he said and kissed your hair.
"i love you too, jisung. goodnight."
"goodnight, babe."

“stop touching me,” mark tells haechan, removing the said man’s arm from his shoulders. “y/n, how do you deal with your boyfriend being like this?” haechan asks. you giggle at the scene in front you. mark isn’t really fond of physical touches even with you, his girlfriend. you have been dating for 5 months now, and you were used to it. he wouldn’t even let you hold his hands for more than a minute. it made you sad at first, but he explained that he just doesn’t like being touched often, and you understood him. it doesn’t mean he loves you less.
a month after
you and mark were both sitting on his couch, watching a movie you weren’t paying attention to anymore. you were busy looking at mark, and how cuddly he looks. you know how it will end if you try to cuddle— him subtly pushing you off him after a few minutes— but you would take those few minutes in his arms any day, so you slowly position yourself, and cuddle him. he wraps his hands around you, and gives you kisses on your forehead. you smile at him, and seize the moment. after a minute, you slowly get off him knowing he would do it himself. “where are you going?” he asks. “hmm? just here beside you,” you smile at him. “come here, let’s cuddle,” he pouts. “getting used to my touches now?” you joke, “the only touch i want on me forever.”
