a look into kihyun’s phone ☆

much like with his bags, kihyun has gone through a few phones in his lifetime. for most of the occasions he’s upgraded (or downgraded, in one instance, where he went from an iphone 8 back down to a 6 because he said he found it in an old draw of his and wanted to experience using it again) it’s just been because he’s felt like it, or wanted a change-up, but a few times it’s been because of his own clumsiness—there’s been a couple incidents of smashed-up screens; mostly due to his tendency to toss his phone up and down or idly pass it between his hands when he’s bored, and also his joint tendency to not always catch it. but no matter the model, again like most of his bags, the one thing that’s guaranteed is that he’ll be decorating it. chains, stickers, photocards, sharpied scribbles on a few (although that was partly him and partly chenle, who had been all too eager to attack it with the vibrant pinks and reds and greens of permanent and write words kihyun didn’t know the meaning of, paired with odd little doodles he couldn’t bring himself to get rid of), it’s one of his favourite things to do whenever he gets a new phone or case. the same thing goes for whatever pair of headphones he has at that moment in time—or rather, the multiple pairs he likes to switch between whenever he feels like it.

as for the inside, things like his lock & home screen practically change with his mood, going from one picture to the next in the span of a day. he’ll make it a picture of the sky he took one night coming home from practice before he goes to bed, and then wake up the very next morning and switch it to a picture he took of jeno while the older boy was unaware. he’s never been the most organised, either, and so when asked one time on a fancall if he had a pleasant, easy-on-the-eyes interior of his phone, he only held it up to the camera to show the poor fan a horribly mismatched assortment of apps, confessing afterwards that he wanted to try out the clean-and-perfect-looking, aesthetic layouts—widgets and all—but he thought that if he tried to watch any sort of tutorial he’d either burst into tears or fall asleep at his chair. games-wise, he doesn’t have many he’s stuck with (because while he’s downloaded a lot over the years, the ratio of ones he’s purchased to the ones he’s kept has a stark difference in number) but there are a select few he enjoys a lot—those mainly being cooking mama, dadish 3D, dumb ways to die (he’s just a boy), and, as of recently, nct zone. he semi-regularly updates his subscribers on bubble as to who’s world he's reached, idle commentary on the dialogue, or what cards he’s pulled—and the sheer joy he felt when he pulled a super super rare taeil card in-game was enough for him to go on a ten-or-so-long message rant about it.

in terms of social media, while he has all the basics, instagram is by far the one he’s most active on—on both his public and his private account. it’s definitely not every day, but he doesn’t usually go more than a few weeks without giving some update or another; whether that be a simple post on his story, or even as little as his appearance in the background of another member’s story or post. on platforms like twitter or tiktok he usually just sticks to lurking, liking the things he likes peacefully from his private accounts without posting that much officially (but he’ll always be up for filming a dumb little dance challenge with one of his friends, should they ask). his instagram feed is mainly his members and friends outside of DREAM, really more of them than him—or instead, more of them and him—rather than just him on his own. it’s rare that you’ll see a kihyun instagram post without one of the members somewhere, even if it’s as little as their silhouette in the background or the back of their head. he uses his account as more of an archive for him and his closest friends than anything, rather than showcasing himself.

recent stories ★

his camera roll is another thing that’s more of a collection of photos of all the people he loves, as well as pictures to save his days out & nights in, and not to mention his little trips here and there too. there’s once again little space for himself in his photo albums when they’re crammed with everything else you could think of, but kihyun doesn’t mind—he would rather it be like that anyway. while he’s definitely not as into it (or as good at it) as people like jaemin, photography is something he has a growing interest in. he likes how simple it can be, how all it takes is one simple click of camera—whether that be his phone’s, the digital one he’s begun to use more often, or the rare occasion he borrows one of jaemin’s for a while—for a memory, a moment in time, to be captured forever. he’d document every living moment if he could, but then he’d need far more memory than any phone or camera of his had, so he just sticks to keeping his favourites, instead (and even then, there’s far too many favourites for him to count on his two hands). he also prides himself in being able to take the best ‘boyfriend material’ photos of his members, as he’s said so himself, and is usually the first to volunteer to be resident photographer if him and any of his fellow members are out and about and the other says he’s thinking about taking a few pictures for his feed. to put it plainly, his camera roll is probably what kihyun considers the most important thing on his phone (besides his games).

photo album › recents ★

all in all, kihyun’s phone is home to many things—stickers, whichever photocard he’s chosen as the one lucky enough to be carried around in the back of his phone case for the foreseeable future, the number of messy group chats he’s involved in, the countless notifications he gets from his friends at all hours of the day, his favourite pass-the-time games, and of course, his photos. so, in a nutshell, it’s (whichever model he’s on at that minute) no doubt one of the items he holds to the highest importance. a little home for all the things he loves.

☁︎ CHAPTER ONE : wait THATS the new guy!?

in which.. you are definitely not enjoying your first day at skyline highlights word count 1.2k

You truly want to die right now.

If you were to earn a nickel for every time you showed at a new job and you encountered two people arguing right in front of building, you would have a good twenty five cents! Five times! Five times this has happened to you! Your starting to think this exact situation has been programmed into your life, no matter where you go it always happens.

If you knew this was going to happen each and every time, you would've stopped trying a long time ago.

The two unknown guys arguing clearly don't notice you, and you feel your face burn as you stand there awkwardly, trying to figure out when you're supposed to start talking. "Um excuse me?"

Both men pause their shouting match and snap their heads towards you, and you swear you almost jump at the way they stare at you. "Oh hi! Do you need something?" The taller of the two asks, your eyes wander over to the ID wrapped around his neck, you are just barely able to read the name etched onto it, watching as it swings back and forth, his name is Kim Jungwoo.

"Oh I uh.. I'm a new hire".

Jungwoo and mystery boy, who you've now identified as Nakamoto Yuta both blink, seemingly puzzled by your words. You want to dig a hole, lay in it, and die, because they're staring at you so intensely that you think they might be trying to curse you. "Since when did we have a new hire?"

Yuta looks baffled by the question, turning to Jungwoo with a scowl leaving his lips. "I literally told you yesterday and kept reminding you a week before that a new product manager was coming after the last one got fired! You never listen to me!"

"Oh do you blame me for not listening you? Your the biggest liar around!"

"Was it because you didn't believe me? Or because your so airheaded you can't comprehend more than a paragraph of information?"

"You do this every time, no wonder Mark is the only one who can tolerate you.."

You blink as you stand between the two and watch their screaming match again occur, oh you're never going to get anywhere with the way everything is unfolding. You don't know how to exactly.. mediate this argument, so you sort of just stand there, watching as their voices get higher and higher.

"Are you two going to argue the whole time?"

The two again stop arguing when a third voice interjects, cutting them off midway through another snappy insult. They both roll their eyes like petty children, but they stop arguing. "Your making the poor guy nervous".

"Blame Yuu for that.."

Yuta wants to respond with another insult from the recesses of his mind, but he's stopped by a glare from the stranger. "You two, be quiet, you're so annoying" He then gives a smile as if he didn't just insult them.

He then turns to you, extending his hand out for a handshake. You reluctantly take his hand and shake it, why do you feel so awkward?

"Moon Taeil! Assistant manager, it's nice to meet you, Yn".

You were about to respond to his greeting, but you pause as he says your name. He notices your confusion, because he snickers. "I read your resume! It was very impressive.."

Your face heats up at the words, and you finally find your voice. "Oh was it? Thank you, thank you! It's nice to meet you too, Taeil".

"Alright! Yn, Yuta, Jungwoo, we still have like nine other people to introduce you too.. anyway, we have to start!"

Without asking, Taeil jolts you forward by the hand, making you squeak as you get tugged into the building.

"Are you nervous?"

Taeil's question makes you clear your throat, an exhale leaving your lips as you stare at the door in front of you. "Yeah" You respond, a pained smile on your face as you earn a hum from the man beside you.

"There's nothing to be nervous about, they all just don't know how to have a civil conversation without shouting".

"Yeah I can see that—"

"Maybe you should check your information before you try to correct me on something!"

"And maybe you should check your tone of voice before your position is taken away!"

You narrow your eyes judgmentally at the door, listening to the rising voices continuing to go back and forth. Taeil laughs at the look on your face, you don't think you've ever been met with so much arguing before, especially on the first day on the job. "What are they even fighting about?"

"Something stupid like if a hotdog is a sandwich or whatever.."

The answer makes you chuckle, and you look to the side as to not begin dying laughing. The door clicks open, and a stressed out employee steps out, sighing heavily. "At this point were never actually going to get to our achieved goal".

The stranger rolls his eyes, but the look of distaste on his face quickly disappears as he turns to you, smiling. "You must be Yn, Lee Taeyong, it's nice to meet you".

Jesus is everybody who works here some gorgeous angel? The question which crosses your mind amuses you, but you don't laugh in fear of looking crazy in front of your new coworkers. "It's nice to meet you too, are they.. okay in there?"

Taeyong blinks, then turns back towards the door, the shouts from inside piercing his ears. "I'm not— yeah I can't even tell anymore, you have nothing to worry about, though, they are all pretty much harmless for the most part" He waves a dismissive hand, placing his hand on the doorknob and turning it open.

You're not sure if that makes you any less nervous, but Taeil places a hand on your arm and gives you a reassuring squeeze. "Come on".

You almost want to immediately run away when you step into the room, the shouting is still there, it seems that these people enjoy throwing insults at each other like there's no tomorrow. You raise an eyebrow as you listen to their excessive swearing.

Taeyong sighs once again, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Everyone shut up!" His shout is enough to get most of the yelling to step, even with the distasteful murmurs that follow. "Thank you, this is Yn, the new product manager".

And suddenly, everyone is looking at you, staring you down and practically examining every part of you.

"Wait THATS the new guy!? I thought he was coming tomorrow!"

Yuta then lets out another scoff, punching the taller male beside him in the shoulder. "I told all of you he was coming today! You never listen to me!"

"Can you blame us?"

"Why do all of you say that!? At this point Mark is the only one I can trust".

Taeyong sighs, work is never going to get done. Taeil simply chuckles, amused by the shouting of his coworkers, he looks to you and pokes at your shoulder. "You'll get used to their.. stupidity, you've already met Yuta and Jungwoo, Taeyong is team leader, Johnny marketing coordinator, Doyoung works in finance, Jaehyun communications, Mark creative direction and Donghyuck is head of operations".

You think you mishear him when he points at Donghyuck, who looks like a teenager, you blink, then look back at Taeil. "Donghyuck?"

"Yes?"

"He's head of operations?" You ask, sounding much more judging than you want to. "He looks so.. young".

"Oh, yeah, he's the youngest of the bunch, he's only been here like two years!"

"So why is he head of operations then?"

Taeil simply stares at you, it seems he'd rather leave that question unanswered. "He's just good at his job, of course!"

You blink again, narrowing your eyes at him.

You might not survive your first day here.

─── AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU

⟡﹐ꊞ niko's relationships with WAYV !

⟡﹐ꊞ in the five years since their debut, niko has basically become the honorary member of wayv. he is usually seen spending most of not all of his time with the members, not as much as he does with his 127 members, of course, but they've basically become niko's unofficial second nct unit. he had previously already known three of the members, having made his debut with two of them in 2016, and the relationships he developed later on with the other members seemed to, in his own words anyway, "come up out of nowhere". wayv have basically become his comfort group, one of his many safe places, and yeah, he enjoys annoying all of them to death, but they know deep down that he loves them.

KUN & NIKO ( NIKUN ) !

much like with johnny, niko reverts to his annoying little brother form when around kun. the older is so incredibly tired of him, tired of his constant teasing and idiotic questions. if there is anything niko is good at, it's being a pain in kun's ass, he's as ruthless as the wayv members when it comes to making fun of him for his age (they are only 5 months apart in age). the moment niko steps into the room, kun lets out a distressed sigh and prays to god that their time together will be short. niko is like the annoying younger brother kun never asked for, one whose always poking him and bothering him when he doesn't need it.

for niko, kun has really become a voice of reason. if niko needs advice, he knows he can go to kun, because he will always be openminded and empathetic. despite how annoying he is (kun's words not niko's), the older always remembers to remind niko that he is an outlet for the younger if he ever feels like everything is too much. kun is literally apart of the rare collection of nct members who have seen niko cry, yeah it's that serious between these two. it is never something he would admit normally, because he spends most of his time poking fun at him, but niko loves kun a lot, he's very glad to have him in his life.

kun is very supportive of niko, always taking care of him even if the younger profusely refuses. he has a natural instinct to look out for the younger, pretty much able to tell if something is wrong with him from even a single look. niko is so stubborn, but he can never truly refuse getting taken care of by kun.

TEN & NIKO ( TENKO ) !

guys don't listen to them, they like to say they absolutely "hate each other" but everyone knows that they are both such horrible liars. they both became friends because it seemed like they had no other choice, they're both thai, 96 liners, amazing at everything that has to do with dance. despite what everyone else says, it did take them a while to get used to each other, mainly because niko was so unbearably awkward and ten just really wanted to be friends with him so bad but couldn't get him alone, it took them a while to get as comfortable with each other as they are now, conversations between them usually mediated by taeyong.

upon the beginning of their debut preparations, the two would truly start to bond. they would begin spending much more time together, now able to have conversations without another person having to start it first. they'd become much more comfortable with each other, able to give criticism and trusting each other to not take any of to heart. eventually, staying late at practice became a normal thing for them, whether they were redoing the dance over and over again, gossiping, or stating random facts about themselves to each other.

these late night practices, after some time, became a sort of staple of comfort for the two. ten learned many, many things about niko, things about his home life, his personal feelings, his true dreams, careers he wishes he could've pursued, he seemed to know more about the younger than his best friend ever (doyoung) even did. some things said have stayed only between them, and there's a certain solace in that to them. if you were to quiz ten on everything niko, he'd win with absolute ease, he has his masters degree in nikology.

they are very much how you expect them to be, constantly bickering over other bullshit no one cares about and gossiping during behind the scenes videos. ten can push niko's buttons so well that the younger almost always actively runs away when he shows up because the older is going to follow him around and talk his ear off until he gets so annoyed that he shoves him out of the room. they really only have two dynamics, they're either wrapped up in each other's arms or chewing each other out at every chance they can. truly a duo for the ages.

NIKO & WINWIN ( WINKO ) !

guys, tell sicheng to text niko back, he misses him. its no surprise to anyone that niko, just like everyone else in this mess of a group, is mortifyingly in love with winwin. what kind of hold does this guy have on nikolas and why is it so strong? nctzens shall never know the true answer to that, but it seems that sicheng is much more lenient with niko than he is with the other members that constantly profess their undying love for him. he awkwardly accepts all of niko's love confessions, hugs, and cheek kisses with nothing but short chuckles.

niko's infatuation for sicheng began way back during fire truck era, though both of them were as quiet as the other, and though they didn't talk to each other in many promotional videos, their friendship slowly formed behind the scenes. most of their interactions were through text and whispered words after comeback stages, all of their conversations in their early debut years, if they even did have one, would either be cut off by another member or would stop abruptly because the two of them had no idea what to talk about, sort of just standing there awkwardly with each other.

it wasn't until after limitless promotions died down that the two could finally have a full conversation. late in the night, riddled with his usual insomnia, niko would call an also awake sicheng and ask if they could go out to eat, a friend date of sorts, he even offered to pay for food. niko has to admit, it was really the only way he could get sicheng alone, the only way he could ever have a one on one conversation with him. so, at two in the morning, niko and sicheng walked the streets of seoul searching for unique street foods and talking about whatever came to their minds.

they talked through their somewhat fluent korean, sicheng trying his best to teach niko mandarin words that the older definitely pronounced wrong no matter how hard he tried. and if you're wondering, yes, niko did pay for all the food they got that night. though niko was met with many pouted shouts from his members for 'favoring winwin' (as if they all don't do that), the two did grow closer from this little friend date they went on. maybe there were more of these friend dates in the future, but both niko and sicheng are keeping that a hidden fact from their fellow members.

niko, though usually reserved and easygoing, becomes the giddiest person ever around sicheng. whenever he sees him around, he acts like a teenage girl with a crush, throwing so much affection at him that by the time sicheng can escape his hugs, his face is burned red and he's struggling to speak coherently. though niko often jokes with sicheng, he genuinely loves him a lot, sicheng is one of his favorite members, but shh! don't tell any of his other members he said that.

NIKO & XIAOJUN ( NIXIAO ) !

dejun was honestly intimidated by niko when he first met him. they immediately met awkwardly, though they knew of each other's existences, they never got anywhere past a few "hello's" and smiles exchanged in the hallways. dejun was really doing everything to avoid niko, even with how the older was polite and already close to his other groupmates, he wasn't ready to actually talk to him one on one, niko honestly sort of terrified him upon their first real interaction after wayv's official debut, he stuttered through most of his words as he averted eye contact with the older, who was congratulating and complimenting the members to sheer heights.

dejun's niko avoidant attitude didn't go unnoticed by his fellow wayv members, especially ten, who accused him of having a small crush on the older dancer (and maybe he did in just the slightest but it was more of a crush out of admiration!), an accusation that the vocalist was quick to deny with reddened cheeks and abruptly yelled responses. he really did avoid niko as much as he could for the rest of 2019, not ready to strike a conversation with the older, he felt like the moment he tried to talk he would mess up, trip, fall on his face and then be so embarrassed he could never face him ever again.

but dejun couldn't avoid niko for long, because he would come face to face with the older in his own dorm midway through resonance promotions. niko wasn't there on his own accord, he had been dragged there by ten after the older caught him almost working himself to death in the practice room. so dejun was pretty much forced to talk to niko, as the older was quite literally sitting in the kitchen of his dorm, sort of just letting the room consume him whole. it was common knowledge that niko wasn't really doing his best this era, and dejun could clearly see it with the way he was handling himself.

so, the younger decided to do his best at the whole cheering him up bit. the two of them finally had a full fledged conversation (or dejun sort of just rambled and niko listened intently, afraid of breaking down into tears if he even uttered a word). they shared jokes, secrets, and really just talked. though niko was still in the middle of a horrible mental spiral, the interaction really became a staple of comfort to him, and dejun reminded him that if he ever needed someone to talk to, he was available, even if he did almost avoid him for half a year because he had a sort of crush on him and was scared he'd make some mistake while talking to the other.

they became much closer after the interaction, the conversation basically the building blocks to their friendship, a friendship that, even today, is still highly regarded as one of the most underrated nct friendships ever. dejun really does admire niko a lot, he would say he is somewhat of a niko fanboy (words he will never ever say out loud), often mentioning him in stories during solo lives and describing him as "one of jupiter's orbiting moons, probably callisto". these days, dejun is still suspected to have even the smallest of a crush on niko remaining, claims he still very much denies through red ears and stuttering words.

NIKO & HENDERY ( SUHEN ) !

though they met with the same awkwardness niko met dejun with, they became closer much more quickly than niko did with the previous 99 liner. for staters, hendery really wanted to get to know niko, the older simply peaked his interest, and he made an effort to talk to him when he appeared to congratulate wayv on their eventual debut. he wouldn't get to see niko as 2019 ended, much to his own dismay, but they did have a few golden interactions during that year, interactions that hendery would've proudly framed on his wall with how much he was obsessing over them at the time.

hendery would eventually persuade ten into giving him niko's number, but he hesitated before ever sending him that first text. it's not that he was nervous or anything, he just didn't know what to say! and niko wasn't really.. online in 2020, when hendery was pacing around his room, trying to figure out what to text him. it was at this time that niko wasn't really talking to anyone, retreating back into himself and really only ever sending them fake smiles to his members to mediate their worries. it was midway through resonance promotions that hendery could finally text him, during the stage for misfit, that niko had made a slight error, an error that he quickly took to heart, if the curses he muttered under his breath were any indication. noticing how down he felt, and finally wanting to take a step, hendery texted niko a 'you did well' later that night, a text that niko appreciates even to this day, even a small gesture like that was enough to make his shitty day better, especially because he felt as if he ruined the whole stage with his mistake.

hendery would then approach him the next day during their stage for misfit, awkwardly trying his best to make small talk with the reserved older, who was clearly upset. though niko just stared at hendery as he went on a small rant about how niko shouldn't be so hard on himself because he's such a good dancer and everyone thinks so, he also threw in a few very specific compliments that niko couldn't help but laugh, honestly enamored by them. hendery, glad he could cheer up niko, pretty much stayed by his side for the rest of the stage, arms wrapped around him and head placed on his shoulder. niko didn't do anything to shoo him away, finding his display cute.

even with how cute they are, hendery is never going to let niko rest, poking fun at him for his age and annoying him by yelling in his ear every few minutes to make him stop zoning out, or literally poking him, according to hendery, niko has super soft cheeks, a claim that niko always just rolls his eyes at. hendery will never waste an opportunity to show up at niko's place, often using the excuse of wanting to see susi to justify his almost weekly trips over to his the older's house. he genuinely does want to see niko, but he doesn't say that with his own mouth because he would never hear the end of it from everyone else if he did. sometimes though, in especially tough moments, hendery will mutter the words to niko, a small smile etched on his face. niko really does appreciate hendery, yeah the younger gets on his nerves on most occasions, but it's all in good heart.

NIKO & YANGYANG ( NIYANG ) !

they were introduced in the same awkward fashion niko met the two previous members with, but yangyang was dead set on getting close to him, even more than hendery was, but he was much more reserved about it. yangyang was also very intimidated by niko, a fact that ten quite literally laughed at when he disclosed it to him. despite the fact that he told yangyang there was nothing to worry about, and that niko was really just an awkward guy who seemed intimidating, yangyang's worries weren't immediately mediated, he could really only give him small smiles when they would find each other in the halls of sm, yangyang was sort of afraid of encountering niko, not because he thought the older would punch him in the face or something, but because he was scared of coming off as awkward and not impressive.

when they were both put in misfit, yangyang really couldn't avoid niko anymore, though he tried his best to, ten quite literally dragged him by his arm to the other 96 liner, forcing him to face his fears and have a conversation with him face first, a decision that yangyang glared at him for at the time, but he thanks him for now. yangyang pretty much almost died trying to have his first conversation with niko, he stuttered at least three times and his face was completely red by the time they concluded their talk, but it was the right move, because from that moment onward, yangyang would slowly begin striking up much more conversation with niko.

yangyang quickly found a sort of comfort in niko, he's the kind of person he can easily confide in, someone yangyang can let go around. niko is sort of an.. enabler in a way, encouraging yangyang to make kun's life as much as a living hell as possible. yangyang is, with all things considered, a huge niko fan, he probably runs a secret fanpage we don't know about. it's often that yangyang accompanies hendery on his trips to niko's place, but he uses the excuse of wanting cookies to hide the fact that he just really likes seeing the older.

niko likes to describe yangyang as "a crossbreed of annoying and absolutely adorable", because while he truly loves the younger, he continues to get irritated by his countless comments. while they started awkwardly, you would've never known that with how they are now, yangyang is basically niko's son in addition to like half of nct dream (again excluding mark). he constantly gets on niko's nerves, but the older also finds him too cute to ever actually punch in the face. yangyang is very much competing with dejun for the role of president of the niko fan club, he likes to believe he's winning this competition. he's a much bigger fan of niko's strawberry scones, though.

[junjiie]

EPISODE 2 ❛  meliora ❜ 

𖥻 meliora.. is a latin adjective meaning "better", or a noun meaning "better things", "always better", or "for the pursuit of the better", it's first known use is from 1851 word count 0.7k

"I'm not trying to nag but can you like, speed up the process a bit?"

"You are nagging, shut up and be patient".

Minsu drops his arms to his sides, letting out a gasp as offense as Haru rolls his eyes at his misery, he would give a shit if he wasn't busy trying to force his way into the prinicpal's account. He has to find a way to make sure all of their information is altered, just so nothing from their previous case in Taiwan comes crawling back to them.

"You took less time hacking into that high end security database back in Tsuen Wan!"

"Forgive me for being tired" Haru snaps, his tongue poking against his inner cheek as he stares at his computer, when he hears another snappy remark from Minsu, he sticks his tongue out at him, giving him another eye roll.

"This would be much easier if we had just been given aliases like at the last university we went to.." Huifen walks over and places his chin on the older's shoulder, blinking at the log in page presented on the computer screen. "You try guessing the password?"

The question is a teasing one, Huifen trying to poke at the older by inquiring dumbly like how Minsu does. Haru sucks his teeth, gently pushing the grinning Huang away. "Of course I've tried that! But it's hard to guess what kind of password a grown man is going to have!"

"Do we know his name?"

The hacker leans back in his chair, humming at Siwon's question. "Lee Huicheol, he's been running the place for about fifteen years, took the position of principal after the former principal quit under mysterious circumstances" Haru makes sure to do air quotes when saying the last two words, he earns a few weird sounds from his teammates, who are clearly confused by what those last words are supposed to mean.

"Mysterious circumstances?"

"That's just what I heard, nothing else was said".

Yunseo narrows his eyes. "That's oddly suspicious".

"Uh huh" Haru turns back in his chair, cracking his knuckles out of anxiousness as he prepares to take another hundred guesses at his password before fully hacking into the system. "I'm about to smash this computer to smithereens" He mutters.

"Don't get worked up over some technology, Haru".

"That's kind of like.. my job".

Yunseo lets out a laugh at the joke, and the fourth eldest focused on his goal of hacking into the account.

"Try something weird like.. uh— sexy babes".

Haru cringes at the words from Ren, only deadpanning at him through his peripheral vision, he presses down onto the spacebar excessively in annoyance. "You're so weird".

"What? Some guys are have strange passwords like that".

"Think you might be snitching on yourself there" Nicholas yells from another part of the dormitory, a shout which Ren is quick to respond to with his usual angry rebuttal.

"You wanna die, Pham?"

Huang Huifen watches as his fellow same aged teammates begin wrestling around the floor, trying their best to claw each other's eyes out. It's a callback to their old training, these two have always been much more into it than they should've been. "What are you doing?" Siwon deadpans at the sight, Minsu trying to hide his snickers behind his hand, clearly failing.

"Anyway.. they're not gonna figure out anything, right?"

Haru ignores the playfighting going on between his same aged friends, turning to the worried looking youngest, who is rocking back and forth on his heels as he looks over his shoulder. "How long have we been doing this? No serious authorities have seemed to be catching on, yet".

"And what if they do?"

Haru finds the question baffling, yeah Yunseo has always been the most sensitive of the team, but the inquiry is enough to have him furrowing his eyebrows. The youngest quickly notices his heavy stare, because he's quick to continue with sputtering words. "I mean like— what happens if they do find out about us?"

"We all go to jail, duh".

The blunt answer gives Yunseo just a little bit of a shock, but Haru doesn't spend enough time staring at him to see the look cross his features, he has no time for that.

"Pick up the pace Luther!"

All Haru does as a response is flip off his yelling teammate.

the way you look should be a sin.

if mark’s at your door, the only thing you’re going to do is let him in ！⠀⸻⠀mark lee x gnr ⠀ fluff (?) pre rs ⠀ wc 1.4k ⠀ now playing . . ☆

생각⠀my girlfriend! my! girlfriend! thnku isa for inspiring me to write this he’s kind of the only thing important ever

you hadn’t really been properly asleep anyway, having drifted off in a half-slumber after scrolling mindlessly on your phone for a while, and you supposed that was why the sudden sound of it ringing from its place still loosely clasped in your hand woke you up so easily. everything was still vaguely blurry when you pushed yourself onto your elbows, squinting hard in order to see the name of the contact flashing across your screen. mark met your eyes, and you flopped backwards onto your mattress before tapping the accept button and then pressing the same hand to your mouth to stifle a yawn.

“are you awake?”

you pulled the phone back from your ear to aim a slightly incredulous look at it, even if you knew your best friend would’ve been none the wiser to the expression.

“i mean, i am now. what is it, markles? did you forget something?”

mark stumbled over his next words, muttering them under his breath more than anything. “no, but.. ah, nevermind, dude, it’s fine. i don’t know why i called.”

you sat up slightly in your bed, ignoring the slight chill the blanket falling away from yourself gave you, eyebrows furrowed a little in concern at the unsure tone of your friend. “mark? what’s up?”

he started to say something more but cut himself off, words trailing off into nothing. it was silent on the phone for a few moments then, only the sound of your shared faint breathing coming through the lines until he finally got his words together and spoke up properly.

“i’m, um. i’m outside your apartment.”

that woke you up fully, eyes widening a little as you stood up out of your bed, leaving it unmade as you padded over to your window and looked down more than a few floors to the street outside—where, if you squinted, you could almost make out mark’s figure lit up by the streetlights and standing alone on the pavement, recognisable mostly by his familiar fleece jacket.

“what the fuck, mark? i’ll buzz you in, come on. you must be freezing, i don’t—why are you over here so late? did donghyuck sexile you, or something?”

you stayed at the window just long enough to watch his small head shake before moving over to your door in order to let him up, shivering again with the now complete lack of your blanket.

“nah, he’s at jeno’s. i just.. i don’t know. i missed you, man.”

the words made you stop in your tracks, for a second. his voice was small, but it sounded sincere—and it was sincere, you knew it was, because mark couldn’t have told a lie even if he was paid to do it. had been earnest since before he knew what it meant. you covered how choked up you suddenly felt by scoffing, depsite it sounding weak even to your own ears.

“yah, you sweet talker, you probably just want me to make you a hot chocolate. get up here already, hm?”

his laugh was barely that, sounded more like an exhale of air than anything, but you were glad for it all the same. quiet fell over the two of you again, but this time it was more comfortable, with only the idle sounds of the elevator and his footfalls coming all the way to your door. 

“see you in a sec,” was all you murmured through the line before hanging up and shoving your phone into the pocket of your sweats, fiddling with the lock on the door for a moment, another, before it was finally open and mark was standing before you. 

he looked tired—you weren’t surprised, seeing the last time you checked it was creeping past two in the morning—but his mouth still curved up into a small smile that you mirrored with ease, beckoning him in and pushing the door shut behind him, reaching out with the tips of your fingers to slide the lock into place.

“so what’s up, markl—“

before the nickname could fully pass your lips mark was falling into you, head finding solace tucked into the crook of your neck hands coming up to loosely grip onto the fabric of your shirt on your waist. his fingertips were red from the cold, but his cheek was hot from where it was resting on your shoulder. 

“can we.. go t’bed?”

it was just as mumbled as it’d been over the phone, but this time a lot louder—he was right next to your ear, after all, the periodic soft exhales hitting your skin causing little shivers running across it that weren’t from the chill, this time. you simply nodded in answer to his request and attempted to detach yourself from his grip to walk him over to your unmade (but comfortable, you defended to yourself) mess of a bed, but mark made a vaguely whiny noise of protest and clung onto you tighter.

your laugh came out a little too high in the dead silence of your apartment, hoping even if mark did notice the way your ears burned a little hotter that he’d be kind enough (or tired enough, at least) not to bring it up as you slowly walked him to the sheets, trying not to trip up on his feet shuffling backwards, trying not to focus on the way he felt so malleable in your careful hold.

“take this off,” you murmured lowly once you’d reached the foot of your bed, tugging gently at the fleece he was still wearing and trying not to cringe at how suggestive your words sounded even if your intentions were innocent. you focused on nudging at his feet, too, where his shoes were still on. “and these. you’re not putting your dirty trainers anywhere near my blanket, markles, for real.”

“mm.” was all he hummed in reply, but didn’t move from his spot. you were ready to do it for him if it came down to it, but before you could reach for the zipper of his jacket he taking half a step back, barely out of your space, and doing it himself. they were left lying idle on your floor once he’d rid himself of both the offending items, but you figured they’d be just fine for a night—it wasn’t like you didn’t have a few hoodies and jeans doing exactly the same thing while you avoided putting them away properly for a day or two longer.

where you stopped in your place once he had deemed himself ready go, unsure of what move to make next, mark had no such qualms. he let himself fall back onto your sheets and got himself comfortable like they were his own, the way his brow furrowed when he didn’t see you following a clear indication of what he wanted you to do, and you found yourself being able to do nothing but comply with his wishes, slipping in next to him after abandoning your phone on the bedside table.

the lights were faint, streetlights only just shining in through your window, but you could still see his brown eyes trained on your own as you led there face-to-face. you tried to speak but, embarrassingly enough, your throat failed you, and so you only tried again after turning to the side for a moment to clear it. 

“are you okay?”

the smile was back. still small, still sincere. “i am now.” and. oh. mark was so—lovely, sometimes. all the time. you didn’t know what to do. but it seemed you didn’t need to, because then he was turning over, away from you, and then shifting backwards until it was all too clear right where he wanted you.

and so, swallowing back the way you felt choked up for the second that evening, you shuffled closer and slung an arm over his hip, feeling him relax under your touch almost instantly. it was more than the just your blankets providing you with warmth, now. mark had always run a little hotter.

“night, markles.“ you mumbled half-into the nape of his neck, lips almost brushing his skin. there was a light sound as he tossed a hand back to find where yours was resting on his side and squeezed once. twice.

“see you t’morrow, ynnie.”

and that was all it needed to be. a boy in your arms, both in your bed. sharing warmth until the sunlight pouring in through your windows would force you to leave it. as simple as that.
