Project: LOVESTRUCK - Chapter 3: Studying?..

Word count: 968

The walk to the café was a not so pleasant one. Despite the thicker jacket you were wearing it was still freezing. On top of that you were carrying a bag that was probably a bit heavier than it should've been..

Arriving to the café, you were greeted with the scent of fresh coffee and the warmth of the heat inside the building. Noticing Kai hadn't arrived yet, you walked over to a small table that was available and started setting your stuff out to study. The warmth of the café, along with the comforting, cozy atmosphere the place offered proved to be very relaxing. The soft hum of music filled your ears as you waited for Kai to arrive.

You hadn't realized that you had zoned out, however you were snapped out of your trance by someone sitting down in front of you and softly calling out your name, "Hey Y/N, sorry for being a bit late.." Kai chuckled softly as you looked at him. "Ah, no worries, I'm not in any rush." You reply back. "Do you want a drink?" You ask as you open your laptop. Kai nods and stands up, you go to stand up as well but he stops you and tells you to just give him your order. His actions had taken you by surprise but you gave him your order. You pulled your wallet out of your bag to give him the money for your drink, but before you get the chance to even hand it to him, he's already gone off to order.

When Kai had returned he had both drinks in his hands, he set yours down in front of you and sat down with his. As he did so you handed him the money for your drink which in turn, he quickly slid back to you. "My treat." He smiled at you. You could've sworn your heart did a flip in that moment.. "Are you sure? I don't mind paying for mine." You question him. Kai simply nods and pulls out his own laptop and notebook. You let out a sigh but nod back with a thanks and start to work on your studying, occasionally stealing a glance or two at him as you take a sip of your drink.

"Hey Kai?" You break the comfortable silence that had fallen between the two of you. Kai hums in acknowledgment and diverts his attention from his laptop screen to you. "Yeah?" You couldn't help but let a small yet subtle smile grow on your lips as he did this. He was simply too cute. "For.." You turn your laptop screen and point to a question. "This one, I'm a bit confused on what is being asked. Can you reword it down for me?" Kai hums once more and looks a bit closer at what you're asking. "Ah, okay so.." As he explains what you needed, you couldn't help but admire his features. Why was he so pretty? How was he so pretty? "Does it make more sense now?" His question draws you out of your brain and you nod. "Yeah, thank you." You turn your laptop screen back to you as Kai acknowledges your thanks.

The rest of the study day went by smoothly. Kai and you helping each other out with certain things, taking notes for exams together, making small jokes, and just enjoying each other's company. The day seemed to be a successful one. You finished up your drink as Kai talked about something in regards to the final the two of you had just wrapped up studying for, for the day. You nod as he talks and start to pack up your belongings. Once he stops you speak up, "We should do this again sometime." The smile on your face radiates the positive energy you're feeling in that moment even though you had just finished an extremely draining study session. "Maybe we should make it a weekly thing until finals?" Kai suggests. "Ooh," You hum. "I like that, we should." The two of you agree to make it a weekly thing and the study session officially comes to an end.

As you're slinging your bag over your shoulder and grabbing your empty cup, Kai is doing the same. "Hey, could I maybe.. Walk you back to your dorm?" He asks sweetly, and who were you to deny more time with the man you had been pinning over since high school? "Yeah, of course." The once subtle smile on Kai's face grows into a warm and obvious one.

"Alright then." He says, grabbing your empty cup from you and throwing it in the nearby trash bin with his. "Let's go?" You nod and start to make your way out of the café with Kai trailing not so far behind you. To you, his presence was a comforting one, and to him your presence was also comforting.

The walk back to the dormitory building wasn't too long, but rather too short. The walk was filled with small talk and light hearted banter as the two of you discussed random topics like, who in the friend group was the most likely to get blackout drunk at a Christmas party, and why it would be Yeonjun. Entering the dorm building felt rather dreadful for the both of you. Neither of you had wanted this moment to end, however it had to. You made your way up to your dorm room where you fumbled with your keys for a minute before eventually unlocking the door. You bid your farewells to Kai and enter your dorm, watching as he turns on his heels to walk back to his own. The moment you shut your door and lock it once more you make your way to your bedroom, screaming into your pillow..

summer flows

pairing: soobin x reader

genre: beach!au, friends to lovers, fluff!!<3

summary: (summaries are the bane of my existence and it's almost 3 am right now please spare me i promise i will put one tomorrow i PINKY PROMISE i am in dire need of sleep!!!!!!!11!1)

warnings: none i think :0

word count: 2k

a/n: do you guys think i'll find soobin at the beach tomorrow??????!!!! be honest!!!!!😤😤😤 biggest thanks to my bestie @huekalover3000 for helping me pull through with it🤧🤧💞💞 to be honest i'm not so sure how i feel about this but let me just taking it as a win for kicking some writers block ass (also i read through this twice but if there's still some mistakes then ummmmm pretend you didn't see it until i wake up)

“do you need more ice?”

picking up the glass soobin was holding, you took a sip from the chewed-up straw before providing him with a verdict- the mojito that you had ordered barely minutes ago was now of a pale, yet still greenish color, with wet pieces of mint stuck to the walls of the glass like the slimy algae washed up on the shore. the alcohol had completely evaporated from sitting in such boiling heat, and the only flavor that your tongue could find a hint of anymore was lime, turned nastily sour.

“sure” you shrugged. even though your drink was already diluted past salvation, there was no way you’d pour your money down the drain just like that- after all, it had cost you an inadmissible twelve dollars; at least if it was a bit colder, then there might have been a higher chance you’d be able to leave the beach without feeling nauseous.

soobin scooped up the remnants of ice from the metal bucket, 3 pieces so small that they were the size of a pebble. he dunked two of them in your drink, the third one having slipped and fallen into the sand, yet neither of you could gather up the energy to say a word about it. to simply put it, the heat today had been unseasonably oppressive, downright unacceptable and even close to lethal. you’d believe that people’s first instinct would be to stay inside and seek the protection of a dimly lit room with an ac or fan turned on to the max- but soobin had somehow convinced you that walking twenty minutes to reach the beach through languid summer heat was the better option.

“how long has it been- shouldn’t we get going soon?” you asked, yet laid back down with your arms behind your head, closing your eyes.

with a tap on his phone’s screen, soobin looked at the time- it was six pm on the dot, marking a few good hours already since you came here. the overbearing sun was only now beginning to sink lower into the sea, painting golden hues over the beach as it prepared for sunset. with many families finding that as their cue to pack up and leave, the squeaks of children splashing around had also been significantly reduced. but soobin couldn’t bring himself to leave too just yet, this was, in his mind, the ideal time to stay.

“can’t we go swimming one last time? i promise we’ll leave right after that” he pleaded, hoping to stall for a bit more time here with you. given how many twists and turns you had to get through in order to find the place, he wasn’t so sure how willing you’d be to make the journey again.

so, in the end, he chose not to risk it- leaping from where his towel laid without an answer, and jumping straight into the cool water. it wasn’t quite in his nature to do something so impulsive though, and you could tell how flustered he was from the way he apologised with reddened ears to any people around he had accidentally splashed with water. with an amused yet defeated smile, you followed the footprints he left behind in the white sand at a much more leisurely pace than him- remaining on the shore, standing as you watched the tide lapping at your feet. the seafoam coming up shily touched your tiptoes, retracting its movements soon after.

“are you not gonna join me?” soobin asked, almost accusatory, tilting his head slightly as he swam closer towards you.

“still thinking about it” you teased, fighting back a laugh at the impatient sigh he had released.

since asking proved to be redundant, soobin proceeded with his plan B: throwing water in your direction- each time varying with a bit more intensity in his aim and deepening the stubborn frown between his eyebrows. much to his dismay though, you chose to give him no reaction, not appeasing to any of his continuous childish demands. his persistence wasn’t one to underestimate though- seeing that you still wouldn’t budge, he went on to take your hand in his, pulling your body past the edge of the sea and straight into the slightly deeper levels of the water. with the low temperature suddenly enveloping your body, an involuntary shriek made its way past your lips.

“my hand slipped, sorry” soobin chuckled, unmistakable mischief hidden behind his brown eyes.

“my hand slipped” you scowled, sending droplets flying towards him in matching retaliation.

about to defend himself, soobin’s hand rose up, the motion turning you to close your eyes in anticipation, bracing yourself for another taste of saltwater. however, you found yourself clashing with his body instead as you were drawn in by him once more; one of his arms wrapped around your waist to catch you, helping you not lose your footing, the other one carefully protecting your head. with his torso not fully submerged in the water, and with the evening breeze beginning to flow, soobin’s chest felt cool against your back- but before you could properly process what was happening, a wave came crashing forward, sending the two of you tumbling in different directions beneath the surface of the sea. the moment he rose back up, soobin’s eyes shot wide open, ignoring the searing pain induced by the water as he worriedly looked around for your figure. squeezing your eyes shut and desperately rubbing at them with your hands, you were unable to even pry them open as soobin called out your name.

“are you okay?” he exclaimed, the concern having made his voice come out louder than he had intended.

“yeah but- fuck, it stings” you grumbled in frustration.

as a brief signal of having reached you, he softly placed a hand on your back before speaking:

“wait right here, okay?”

even with the water slightly slowing down his movements, he walked in strides, trying to rush towards the shore. then, he grabbed his towel from the ground, hurriedly dusting off any clinging grains of sand with his hand. unscrewing the cap of his water bottle, he splashed a corner of the towel with it before returning towards you. careful not to let the material come in contact with the sea, he brought it up to your face, gently dabbing at the affected area in hopes to soothe your pain.

“better?” he asked in a shaky breath- relief washed over his face at the nod you gave in response.

“much better, yeah- thank you”

“come on, let’s get you back to the shore” he spoke gently, draping the same towel over your shoulders before leading you back, hand intertwined with his.

however, it was only momentarily relief soobin had felt- dusk was falling rapidly, and his shoulders tensed up again from the way he saw you continuing to shiver beside him on the sand, relentlessly rubbing at your bare arms and legs to hide away the goosebumps.

"still cold?" his hand gave yours a soft squeeze in concern; having been the one to suggest one last dip in the water, he now felt guilty seeing you shiver like this- perhaps he should have listened when you first suggested to leave.

"let me warm you up a bit"

grabbing the left end of the towel, soobin slipped his body beneath the coral colored cloth, shuffling closer towards you to the point where your knees were touching. for you, that was already enough to make the air feel hotter again, but soobin went on, dragging his hand along your shoulders and across the expanse of your back in thoughtful, rhythmic motions. you nuzzled your body further into his, seeking his warmth, and for a little while longer, you remained just like that, holding each other close in silence. but as tranquil as the scenery may have been- the air hung heavy, it was a silence that begged to be broken, eyes moving from sand to stone, with fluttering gazes at your lips every so often.

“so…”

“so-”

with the same words escaping the both of you at once, you couldn’t help but laugh: “you can go first”

“oh i just-” soobin paused, blinking a few times before continuing “i wanted to thank you for coming here with me today”

“of course-” you lightly nudged him “you know i can’t say no to you”

soobin smiled lightly, then released a sigh. the stutter midway through his next words made you believe that they weren’t so much of an honest match to his thoughts.

“i’m ready to leave if you want to- just tell me”

absentmindedly, you traced shapes on a patch of sand in front, using a brittle piece of driftwood “i don’t mind staying here a bit longer” you mumbled “the view is pretty”

soobin’s eyes softened as he looked at you “you’re prettier” he said quietly, half-hoping that you wouldn’t be able to pick up his words.

the unexpected comment took you off guard- flustered, you continued to avoid his peering gaze. you decided to question him for confirmation, too unsure whether to take him seriously or not “what’s that supposed to mean?”

pink dusted soobin’s cheeks and his mouth froze slightly agape- rather than giving you an answer, he simply looked ahead at the sea, resting his head on his knees. before he could begin to overthink it, soobin felt your lips softly pressing against his cheek, followed by a low whisper.

“for calling me pretty”

unsure of where exactly this was all leading to, you backed away then turned your head, placing your focus on the distant calls of birds and the waves rhythm instead- trying to steady your throbbing heartbeat in full accordance to their pace. and you were slowly beginning to calm down- that was, until you felt soobin’s lips press against your temple. but they left your skin just as quickly as they had touched it- flustered by his own actions, now it was his turn to look the other way, avoiding your face.

‘what now?’ you thought to yourself, as if you were caught playing some game of chess. it felt like your entire friendship strongly weighed on your next move- no matter how you put it, there was no clear answer that came to mind. panic began to settle in when you saw soobin’s head begin to turn towards you again:

“are you sure about this?” you blurted out impulsively.

“i’ve always been sure about you” soobin spoke under his breath, voice whispering so sweetly into the gusting breeze. the way he smiled after that warmed your heart in a way the sun never could- that tenderness of his reflected onto his face so clearly, and even more so in his touch, as he leaned in to meet your lips, slowly closing the gap between the two of you: a short kiss- still too hesitant to continue with more than just a brush of his lips. soobin gently moved away, just enough to be able to look into your eyes again.

“should i stop?” he whispered, cupping your cheek. his thumb lightly trembled from nervousness as he caressed your skin.

“quite the opposite, actually-” you mumbled faintly, placing your own hand on top of his “do that again, please”

the kiss that followed was still almost as light as a feather- soobin built up the pace slowly yet diligently, but despite threading with so much care, his kisses soon became much more fervent, much needier. a hand dipped down to your waist to pull you closer, soft gasps and sighs escaping whenever your lips parted from one another. with a bit more self control, he pulled away once he was completely out of breath, and with his head falling down to your shoulder, he bashfully confessed:

“if we don’t leave now, i’m not sure if we’re ever getting out of here”
