in light of seunghan’s departure, i’m going to go ahead and say that with a heavy heart, i can’t support riize like i used to anymore.
riize has brought me so much happiness for a year now, and i will always have a soft spot for the boys. they were there for me when i felt like i had no one, and i’ve genuinely never felt a connection to a group like i did to them. i just wish it didn’t have to be taken away like this.
but unfortunately, knowing the circumstances of sh’s situation, as well as knowing how excited the members were to have him back, i can’t enjoy riize the way i used to anymore. this whole situation has genuinely been a rude awakening about how little some fans see their idols as humans. i have to take a step back for myself, and i’m considering taking a step back from kpop as a whole for a bit.
i may still write for anton if i feel like doing so, but i will likely not be writing for riize in the future. i’m sorry if this is disappointing to any of you, but at the end of the day i made this blog because writing makes me happy, and right now i cant even think about writing for any of my favs without getting sick to my stomach.
above all of this, i hope seunghan and the rest of the boys can keep their heads up through this hell, it breaks my heart that sm has ruined such a beautiful dream through their incompetence.
shotaro, eunseok, sungchan, wonbin, seunghan, sohee, and anton, i will always have so much love for you and i only ever wish the best and greatest things for you.
riize will always be 7 in my heart.

“i feel that leaving the team might be the best decision for everyone. i don’t want to cause any more confusion or pain to the fans, nor do i want to cause any more trouble for the members and the company.
i would like to express my gratitude to the company, and the members who made efforts to give me another chance. even though i am lacking in so many ways, i want to apologize and thank those who have supported me until now.
i truly do not want the relationship between riize and briize, who have been supporting each other and growing together to worsen because of me. it really breaks my heart to see fans, who are more than enough just by loving riize, fighting with each other because of me.
i sincerely hope that the riize that i love will continue to receive even more love in the future, and i will support them sincerely.”
—
the way his members reached out to him, talked him out of whatever he was thinking of prior to the announcement. the fact that they’ve gathered with everyone and had meetings upon meetings over the decision to bring him back only for it to go all down the drain because of these fuckass fans who only see them for shit.
all the efforts of everyone gone in vain because stupid FANS couldn’t accept the fact he lived a normal life before becoming an idol
the way that his return could’ve changed the idol industry in regards to things like this– things that are NORMAL to experience in life is beyond me. koreans say idols hold some high moral ground to show a good example for children but the way these bitches be acting when said idols lived a normal life before becoming an idol?
if we are devastated, then how much more are the members who had to find out OVERSEAS that this was all happening and they couldn’t even do anything about it?
i hope sm cancels ALL their schedules this week. the boys (and probably the staff too) needs a breather to take in everything that happened in the span of DAYS. you bitches didn’t even let it last a week!
i can’t do this right now. i’m gonna log out. my head hurts and my heart hurts for shotaro, eunseok, sungchan, wonbin, sohee, anton, and most especially seunghan

OT13 reaction to: their kid stealing an item from them.
a/n: was struck by random inspo while working on a request i got (i will be posting all requests IM SO SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE) but yeah!!! also credits to @sousydive for suggesting the bonus woozi reaction hahaha 💗 i also think i got a little carried away haha 😭 i hope you guys like it!
contents: seventeen x afab!reader , dad!seventeen , husband!seventeen , crack , fluff , woozi's pink underwear makes a guest appearance , seventeen and reader have kids , some members have a boy and some have a girl, some have both; i just chose at random , just a lot of cutesy vibes
seungcheol:
"babe, where's my rolex?" seungcheol calls out, and you hurriedly rush into the bedroom from the kitchen. "what do you mean where's your rolex? don't tell me you've misplaced it, choi seungcheol!" you hiss, panicked. the rolex was a gift to seungcheol from your parents after you got married, and besides the sentimental value, the price of it alone was enough to make anyone faint.
"i put it right where i put it every day!" seungcheol says defensively. "and i didn't wear it over the weekend either!"
just then, your toddler waddles into the room excitedly, giggling cutely. "mama, look! shiny!"
"baby, not now," you sigh, focused on figuring out where the watch could be.
"daddy! i'm like you now! look!" your child tries again, and seungcheol, always the weakest when it came to his kid, looked down, only to burst into laughter.
you look up at seungcheol, wondering what could be so funny when a rolex is missing. but a quick glance at your child has you rolling on the floor in laughter.
because there your adorable baby was, with a shiny rolex hanging off his wrist and a brighter smile etched on his face.
"do i look like daddy?" your son tilts his head, and you can only sigh in relief as seungcheol pulls your kid into a hug, carefully slipping the watch off his wrist.
"mama thinks you look even more handsome, baby," you tease.
"hey! not fair!" seungcheol pouts.
(your small family spends a morning filled with laughter, until seungcheol has to rush to work because he realizes he's already late to his meeting.)
jeonghan:
"shit! where is he?" jeonghan murmurs under his breath, crouching on the floor to duck under the bed.
"babe? what are you looking for?" you question, walking into your bedroom to find jeonghan crawling on all fours.
"ddoljjongie!" jeonghan sighs, exasperated. "i can't find him anywhere!"
"that's strange," you muse, eyebrows furrowed as you try to recollect where you'd last seen jeonghan's pet rock.
ddoljjongie wasn't just any boring rock, he was jeonghan's 'pet', one he adopted from your first date with him at the beach. the rock was quite precious, always tucked away safely on your dresser, or his study, but right now, it had just disappeared.
"dada! mom! look, i made new friends!" your daughter rushes into the room, practically vibrating with happiness.
temporarily giving up on his search for ddoljjong, jeonghan follows you and your daughter to the backyard.
your daughter leads you both to the couch on the patio, showing off a.... rock collection?
"ddoljjongie!" jeonghan exclaims. before he can get to his rock though, your daughter stops him.
"wait! jjong made new friends! this is momo, that's kkumie, and that's hulk!" your daughter says, the last rock being a pebble covered in green moss.
"don't take jjong away, dada," your daughter pouts. "he's having so much fun here!"
jeonghan gives in quickly, ruffling his baby girl's hair. "alright, ddoljjong can stay here. now come back inside, it's bedtime."
you smile at how cute your family is, and you're also surprised at how easily jeonghan parts with his pet rock.
(the surprise only lasts till when you see your husband sneak out, draw a face on another similar shaped rock, put it in ddoljjong's place, and then tip-toe back into the house after your daughter has fallen asleep.)
joshua:
"shua, you should play us something on your guitar!" seokmin suggests, and everyone cheers. all of joshua's 12 chaotic friends have gathered in your living room, along with their families, to celebrate mingyu and his wife's pregnancy.
joshua, ever the crowd-pleaser, gets up to fetch his guitar. you follow him to your bedroom, passing your son's bedroom on the way. seungkwan's daughter and wonwoo's twins are playing an intense game of charades, while your son is busy doing.... something.
before you can find out what he's doing, joshua's panicked whisper catches your attention.
"babe! where's my guitar pick?" he asks, and you're just as confused. joshua's guitar and all related equipment are always stored neatly in your bedroom. there's no reason for the guitar pick to go missing.
you enter your bedroom, looking in the drawers of your dresser to find the guitar pick, but in vain.
your search is cut short by the sound of loud cheers from the living room, and a soonyoung who looks close to tears appearing at your bedroom door.
"you guys have to see this."
soonyoung was known for his dramatic streak, but seeing the sight everyone was cooing at in your living room made you tear up a little bit too.
joshua seems equally affected, if the arm wrapped around your shoulders and the love-filled gaze directed at you is anything to go by.
there's your little boy, sitting in the center of all his uncles and aunts, clutching his toy guitar and joshua's guitar pick. he's strumming the strings to mimic the playing of the instrument. although the strings don't make a musical sound, your son's voice singing 'sunday morning' by maroon 5 is enough to make you shed some tears.
everyone watches him with a smile on their faces, and you feel your chest swell with pride as your son looks like the splitting image of joshua, his eyes and lips curved into the exact identical smile of your husband.
(later, minghao and seungcheol send you videos of your son's performance from various angles, and jihoon leaves the house with a promise of signing your son under his record label one day. you can only feel grateful and happy seeing joshua play 'sunday morning' on his real guitar as your son sings along with him.)
junhui:
"y/n? could you get my lemon gummies along with the popcorn?" junhui requests. it's a movie date night for the two of you, and your twins (one boy and one girl) are asleep in their bedroom.
"god, you and your love for sour things," you sigh, feigning annoyance. when you first met junhui at a frat party in college, you were weirdly drawn in by the fact that he could eat an entire lemon without, like, dying from how sour it is.
"you love it," he winks playfully, making you laugh as you retreat to the kitchen to make popcorn. once the packet is in the microwave, you open the pantry to find the lemon gummies junhui loves to snack on.
from his last visit to his hometown, he had brought back at least five packets, three of which had been finished over the span of a year.
but where were the remaining two?
"babe? did you finish all the gummies?" you call out, moving around the various snacks and items in your pantry, looking for the gummies.
junhui is quick to come in the kitchen. "i remember there were a couple of packets left..." he mumbles, helping you look for the snack.
as if on cue, a loud scream rings out, followed by giggles. you and your husband share a quick glance before rushing up the stairs to your kids' bedroom.
you're bursting into the room, heart beating rapidly at the thought of your children getting hurt, but the sight that greets you calms you down instantly.
your adorable kids are seated on the floor, your daughter giggling loudly, and your son's face scrunched up in disgust. between them lies the missing packets of lemon gummies.
"baba! look, we ate gummy but he spit it!" your daughter chirps, babbling excitedly, while your son is vigorously wiping at his tongue, trying to get the sour flavor off his tongue.
"our daughter is just like you," you tease junhui, and he can only smile. he joins the kids on the floor, and you pass him a glass of water for your son.
"babies, i told you not to touch the lemon gummies," jun says, gentle yet firm. "they're too sour for you."
"not for me! i like sour!" your daughter pipes up, but your son, after finishing the water, scowls.
"it's too sour, baba," he pouts. "tastes yucky."
"you're just a scaredy-cat," your daughter teases your son, sticking her tongue out at him.
junhui turns back to meet your gaze, giving you a smile so sweet and loving that it makes you melt.
(you, junhui, and your kids spend the rest of the night, cuddled up on your twins' too-small-for-4-people bed, eating caramel popcorn and strawberry candy. your life has never been sweeter.)
soonyoung:
a loud shriek wakes you up abruptly. you were dozing off on the couch on a lazy, sunday afternoon, hoping to catch up on some much needed sleep after staying up with your daughter the entire night to help her finish a project.
but judging from how horrified your husband sounds, you realize that there really isn't much scope to catch a break in a household with two, hyper-active kwons.
"love? what's up?" you ask, walking into your bedroom. you see soonyoung clutching his hair in despair, standing in the middle of your bedroom. what was once a neatly arranged room now looks like a hurricane named 'kwon soonyoung' just rampaged through it.
"tamtam."
"what about tamtam?" you ask.
"he's gone. tamtam is missing." soonyoung whispers frantically, looking like he's about to absolutely lose his shit any moment now.
"he'll be around here somewhere," you try to placate him. "when did you last see him?"
"i know i brought him to the living room with me before we started on the family tree..." soonyoung mumbles, referring to the previous night, when you both stayed up with your daughter.
"let's go look there," you suggest, and soonyoung follows you, biting his lips in worry.
you look on the sofa, under the sofa, behind the sofa, even between the sofa cushions, but your search has been pointless.
until....
"wait, what's floopy doing here?" soonyoung asks, holding up your daughter's bunny plushie. if her father had an attachment to his tiger plushie, your daughter was impossibly glued to her bunny, floopy. it was extremely difficult to get her to do anything without floopy by her side, especially sleeping.
but if floopy was here, how was your daughter asleep upstairs?
soonyoung and you make your way to your daughter's bedroom, opening the door softly so as to not wake her up.
you tiptoe into the room first, smiling at how peaceful your daughter looked while she was sleeping. you peel back the blanket covering her gently, and sure enough, tamtam, soonyoung's beloved plushie, was cuddled up next to her, some of her drool dripping down to tamtam's poor face.
"too bad, soons. looks like she's taken over tamtam now," you whisper, only joking, but the look of pure sadness in soonyoung's eyes makes you laugh out loud, which in turn wakes your daughter up.
"daddy! look, tammie slept here today! we had the bestest sleepover," your daughter grins, ever the happy pill, just like her father.
"and you left floopy all alone in the living room," soonyoung pouts. "she's all upset and said she wouldn't talk to you, because you took tamtam with you."
your daughter's eyes widen immediately, and she's springing out of bed, chucking the tiger plushie in soonyoung's general direction and running over to the living room to reconcile with her precious floopy.
("you're a menace, soonyoung," you sigh. you had just managed to calm your daughter down after she began wailing because floopy wouldn't talk to her. soonyoung talking to her in a high-pitched voice, pretending to be the bunny plushie had managed to console your daughter.
"at least i provided a solution!" soonyoung says defensively, and you can only kiss his cheek because of how endearing he is.)
wonwoo:
"babe! breakfast is ready!" you call out, dishing out the last of the pancakes on a plate. you then open the fridge to grab the maple syrup, when you hear a loud crash in your bedroom.
"shit, wonwoo, are you okay?" you gasp, entering the bedroom to see wonwoo sitting on the floor, rubbing at his forehead, which had a red patch forming on it.
"can't see," he groans. "my glasses aren't here."
you rush to help him up and guide him to sit on the bed. you press your cold hands to his forehead, hoping to relieve some of the sting from the collision he had with the cupboard.
"that's strange," you mutter. "you always leave them on the bedside table. did you leave it in your study last night?"
"nope," he shakes his head. "i'm not that forgetful."
"i'll go check to be sure," you offer. "sit here, don't move. if you crash into my dresser and break the vase, you're a dead man, jeon wonwoo."
"okay okay," wonwoo nods. "please go check, i feel like my vision has been taken away from me."
you laugh at how helpless and silly your husband looks, sitting on the bed with a pout, his hair messy, and his forehead red.
"you're such an old, blind man," you tease.
"don't make me want to chase you around the house, y/n," wonwoo threatens playfully.
"you can't even see me, baby," you retort, and before wonwoo can reply, you're going off to the study to find his glasses.
just as you enter the study, you hear a loud crash coming from your son's room. you quickly hurry there, and it seems like your husband heard the crash too, because he's walking to the room with his hands held out in front of him to avoid any more accidents.
you open the door to find your son sitting in the same position you found wonwoo in not too long ago, rubbing at his forehead.
and, wait, is that wonwoo's glasses he's wearing?
"oh baby, what happened?" you coo, kneeling to the ground to gently pry the too big glasses slipping off your son's nose and handing it back to wonwoo.
"was wearing daddy's glasses to look like him, but i couldn't see anything, so i bumped into my cupboard," your son whines, and you can't believe you have two clumsy boys living in your house.
"you're just like your daddy, aren't you?" you laugh, and wonwoo chuckles as well. you sit down on the floor, pulling your son into your lap to fuss over him and make sure he's not seriously injured, and wonwoo joins you too.
"does anything else hurt, baby?" you ask, and your son shakes his head. "just have a boo-boo here, mommy," he says, pointing at his forehead.
you lean in to press a loud smooch to your son's forehead, pulling away to grin at him. "now your boo-boo will go away!"
"and what about my boo-boo?" wonwoo interrupts, and you can't help but laugh at how serious he looks.
"come here, you big baby."
(the rest of the morning is spent in both your boys arguing over who needs more cuddles from you. the stack of pancakes grow cold in the kitchen.)
jihoon:
"welcome hom- woah, what's got you in a rush?" you ask when your husband whizzes past you just as he returns home from work. you see him disappear into his studio, so you know he has a 'musical emergency.'
back from your dating days in college, jihoon had always been interested in producing music. although he didn't make a career out of it, he'd still write and compose songs in his free time.
at this point, you've lost track of how many songs jihoon has dedicated to you and your precious daughter. his family was his biggest inspiration, and you could really feel the genuine love and care he had for the most important girls in his life from his songs.
but today, there was something off about his production process.
"y/n, have you seen my headphones?" he asks you when you enter the studio.
"i swear i haven't touched them!" you raise your arms in surrender, reminded of how you had accidentally knocked a glass of water onto jihoon's headphones a few years back. ever since that day, you've made sure not to touch his music equipment, because you knew how precious they were to him.
"shit...." he mumbles worriedly. it wasn't like him to misplace his belongings, and no one really went into his studio if he hadn't invited or allowed them to.
just then, your daughter waddles into the room, a proud grin etched on her face.
"papa! i made you a song!"
jihoon, momentarily forgetting about his lost headphones to switch into girl-dad mode.
"can we hear it baby?" you ask encouragingly, and your daughter just gestures for you both to follow her.
jihoon and you trail behind your daughter, entering her bedroom to find an amusing sight. the mini pink, barbie piano and microphone set you bought for her was set up with a torch laying on the floor, which probably meant to imitate a spotlight.
on the bed was a toy laptop one of her friends had gifted her, and jihoon's headphones.
"used papa's special earmuffs to make a song!" your daughter claps, and all the tension in jihoon's body melts away in an instant. "mom, will you hold the spotlight please?"
you nod, silently gesturing at jihoon to record your daughter's performance. once her stage is set, she sits at the mini piano, positions the microphone near her mouth and starts playing her song.
it was endearing to see her look as serious as her father when he would play and sing his songs for you. the lyrics were mostly random sentences about unicorns and ice-cream, and the keys of the piano played discordant notes, but you'd never heard a more beautiful thing in your life before this.
(your daughter gets bored of performing after repeating 'twinkle twinkle little star' 5 times, so she runs away to watch cartoons, and jihoon finally stops recording. neither of you point out the happy tears that must've spilled out sometime during your daughter's rendition of 'old mcdonald had a farm' with extra animals like hippos and zebras. you can only wish the melody of your life remains this beautiful forever.)
(bonus, inspired by sousy. jihoon has a son in this:)
"y/n, has jihoon ever told you about his pink underwear?" mingyu giggles, like the menace he is.
"mingyu, have you told your wife about that horrendous bowl cut you had in high school? i have pictures i can show her right now." jihoon glares at his friend.
"pink underwear?" you laugh, amused. "i'm yet to hear about it."
"god, y/n, don't listen to him," jihoon groans, but the sound is drowned out by seokmin and soonyoung's ridiculously loud cackling. they point in the direction behind you, so you and jihoon turn around to see what they're laughing at.
sure enough, it's your son, running around the house like a madman with his father's infamous pink underwear atop his head.
"what?" jihoon gasps. he clearly remembers placing the underwear at the very back of his closet so no one would see it. how on earth did his son find it?
the answer comes in the form of a mischievously smirking jeonghan and joshua who emerge from your bedroom a few seconds later, fist-bumping each other.
yeah, jihoon has a bad headache now.
seokmin:
"lovie, have you seen my dodgers jersey?" seokmin asks, popping his head into the bathroom, where you were currently finishing up your skincare routine.
"it should be in your closet," you reply, applying sunscreen on your face.
"but it isn't," seokmin pouts, and that alarms you.
seokmin's doders jersey is one of his most prized possessions. he's even joked about being buried with it when he dies so he can continue being a fan in the afterlife. (you don't really encourage those jokes.)
if it isn't in his closet, where else would it be?
"i'll help you look for it," you offer, and the both of you nearly empty out your entire wardrobe to find the jersey, but it was nowhere to be seen.
"it's okay, we're getting late," seokmin smiles. "the guys will kill us if we're late. i'll just wear something else."
and with that, seokmin changes into another outfit, and you wonder how he's always so easy-going. if you weren't able to find your favorite shirt, you'd sulk about it till the time you found it.
the jersey is forgotten a while later. you busy yourself with packing a baby bag for your toddler, and seokmin had rushed to the convenience store when he realized that they hadn't bought any ice-cream.
you're grabbing some extra clothes for your daughter, when you realize that the house has been awfully quiet.
where's your daughter?
you call out her name, but there isn't any response that follows, and it gets you worried.
you look around the house just to be sure your daughter isn't playing hide-and-seek with you again. (she hid from you the entire day once. anything was possible.)
finally, you think of going out to the backyard to check if your daughter was there, and surprisingly, you're met with a crying seokmin.
"wha- when did you let yourself in? why are you crying, lovie?" you ask, and he sniffles.
"i forgot the keys, and i thought you'd be busy, so i let myself in through the back door, and then, i saw...."
his voice trails off, and he gestures behind him. your daughter is clad in his precious dodgers jersey, and the previously white material is stained with mud and dirt from rolling around on the floor.
"oh my god, seok," you gasp, thinking your husband was crying because his jersey was ruined, but you're even more surprised when he stops you from going over to your daughter to take the jersey away.
"i'm not sad," he explains, and you wipe his tears away. "i'm just- i'm just really happy. i asked her why she was wearing the jersey, and she said-"
"if daddy likes, then i like!" your daughter's cheery voice cuts in.
"you wore the jersey because daddy likes it?" you ask, endeared by your daughter's antics.
"mhm! daddy loves the jersey, and daddy loves me, so i wore it to make him extra happy and smiley!" your daughter grins, her eyes crinkling just like her father's, and you hear seokmin cry even louder.
"baby, i got so scared when i saw you crying," you whine, playfully hitting his arm, but then pulling him in for a hug anyways.
"i'm sorry, i couldn't contain the tears," seokmin chuckles wetly. the moment is interrupted by a phone call from seungcheol, who says that if your family doesn't arrive in the next 30 minutes, all the food was going to be finished.
(on the drive to the picnic, you tap seokmin's shoulder to catch his attention. "thank you, for teaching our daughter how to love. she's this way because she learned from the best."
seokmin can only smile back at you, and none of you talk about how tears well up in his eyes again.)
mingyu:
it was a friday evening, and mingyu decided that his tried-and-tested, well-loved kimchi jjigae would be the perfect dinner. he grabs the ingredients and utensils and gets to work right away.
while you were finishing up some work, you were greeted by the comforting aroma of mingyu's cooking. unable to help yourself, you quickly go over to the kitchen, and your heart is filled with warmth at the sight of mingyu, tall mingyu, hunched over the too-low stove, making dinner for your family of three.
"what's cookin', good-lookin'?" you say, sneaking up behind mingyu, effectively startling your husband, who jumps up in the air with a squeal.
"shit, baby, you gave me a heart-attack," mingyu whines, pretending to be upset but still leaning down to kiss you sweetly.
"and a stained white t-shirt," you giggle, and mingyu stares at the white tank top he was wearing, with a large stain forming on it. the stew must have spilled on him when he got startled, and the thought of having to remove the stain made him groan.
"wait, where's my apron?" he questions. being a clumsy person by nature, mingyu has perfected some fool-proof techniques for himself so that he can reduce the number of disasters he creates on a daily basis. one of these techniques was to always wear an apron while cooking so that nothing splatter onto his clothes.
"isn't it here?" you ask, walking over to a cabinet where his apron is usually kept, but the spot was empty.
"that's strange," mingyu mumbles. "maybe i put it in the laundry accidentally. i'll check later."
none of you notice the blue-checkered apron stashed in a corner of your son's bedroom later that night, when you tuck him into bed.
a week goes by, and both mingyu and you forget about the missing apron, till mingyu is spilling marinara sauce on his favorite sweater.
"we'll just buy a new one," mingyu sighs when another extensive search of the kitchen had still not helped you find a new apron.
being workaholics, and chronically bad at remembering things, mingyu and you somehow forgot to buy a new apron. in fact, the thought doesn't strike him till the next week, when everyone was gathered in seungcheol's backyard for a barbecue party.
"shit, i don't have an apron," mingyu groans, having realized the lack of an apron just as he was about to start grilling the meat.
before seungcheol can give mingyu a spare, your son is rushing towards you, mingyu's missing apron tied around his waist, and the ends clutched in his tiny fists to avoid tripping on the too-long fabric for his too-small body.
"dada! i'm cooking today!"
your boy even grabs one of the kiddie plastic forks and spoons, standing next to mingyu at the grill, the apron hanging off his tiny frame, and a makeshift chef hat (a plastic bag) atop his head.
"okay, you can be my sous-chef," mingyu grins, looking at your son with love and affection in his eyes.
(your son only helps mingyu sprinkle salt over some of the pieces of meat he was grilling, but the unbridled giggles escaping him made the memory more precious.)
minghao:
"i'm bored." you announce, plopping next to your husband on the couch, snuggling up against him.
"what, you want me to dance or something?" minghao replies, looking at you with an amused grin.
"wonwoo did tell me you could bust a few moves back in the day," you tease, and minghao rolls his eyes.
"those moves were meant to be left in those days, cutie," he smiles, booping your nose. "anything else i can do to entertain you?"
you hum, contemplating what your answer should be, when you finally find the best answer.
"you should do a tea ceremony!" you suggest. "i always feel so relaxed watching you do it."
minghao gapes at you, his eyes widening. "i thought the exact same thing! i'll get the tea set, can you grab all the ingredients and utensils?"
"on it, boss," you salute, making your husband laugh at your playful demeanour, before he heads into the bedroom to retrieve his tea set.
the set was very precious to him; his grandmother had handcrafted each cup, saucer, and teapot with utmost care. she had even hand-painted each utensil, and minghao cherished the set a lot.
to his surprise, when he looks for the tea set in the dresser, where it is always stored, it's missing.
"darling, can you come in here for a sec?" minghao calls out for you, making you leave the ingredients on the kitchen counter and rushing into your bedroom at the urgency of his tone.
"where's my tea set?"
"in the dresser," you answer.
"it isn't there now," minghao frowns, and when you come closer to check, you notice the missing box.
"ah, maybe i put it somewhere else?" you mumble. "i was clearing out the dresser a few days back, and i remember taking the set out to put it somewhere else. it was too heavy for the dresser, and i didn't want to risk breaking it."
"do you remember where you put it?" minghao asks, calm and composed. he was a little antsy at first, but he trusts you with keeping his belongings safe.
"maybe in the kitchen?" you sigh, not being able to recollect. "let's go look there."
minghao follows you to the kitchen, and you both open up various cabinets and drawers, but the tea set wasn't in any of them.
just at the moment, your daughter walks into the room, confidently striding up to the fridge, opening it and grabbing a carton of orange juice.
"hi sweetie, do you want me to pour you some?" minghao asks your daughter, but she shakes her head.
"the juice isn't for me," she explains. "it's for the tea party."
"tea party?" you and minghao ask in unison, and your daughter smiles.
"come join us!"
she leads the both of you into her room, and the black box you'd been trying to find all this time is on the floor of your daughter's bedroom.
but that wasn't the end of it. your daughter had made four of her favorite dolls sit upright on plastic chairs, one left empty for her, and placed them around the small table she had in her room. and surely enough, minghao's tea set was placed on the table, with each chair having a cup placed in front of it, and the teapot in the middle.
in moments like these, with minghao's fragile tea set involved, you were glad that your daughter was responsible and careful with handling precious things, just like her father.
"do you guys want a cup too?" your daughter offers, and, is 'no' ever an answer?
(the tea set only had 6 cups, and with the last cup being handed over to you, minghao had to resort to sipping lukewarm orange juice out of his daughter's purple unicorn mug. he'd never felt happier.)
seungkwan:
making your two sons watch a horror movie, late at night, probably wasn't seungkwan's best decision as a father. but when they shot him with the puppy eyes, he couldn't help but give in.
so now, you have two seven year-olds, clutching onto you for dear life while 'monster house' plays on the TV.
"momma! make the house stop!" one son shrieks, trying to hide his entire body behind you, while your other son grips onto seungkwan's arm tightly, as if scared of being sucked into the TV and joining the kids in the movie.
"okay. that's enough," you decide, reaching for the remote and pausing the movie. "this is why we have a zero tolerance policy for horror movies in this house, seungkwan."
"i'm sorry, baby," seungkwan pouts. "they looked so-"
"i know. i get it," you sigh, you yourself having given into many of their ridiculous demands only because of how wide and watery their eyes would get.
your kids really need to stop spending time with mingyu and seokmin.
"off to bed, both of you," you instruct your boys, and they waste no time, scurrying out of the living room as quickly as possible.
"should i go check if they're okay?" seungkwan asks, feeling guilty.
"they'll be fine," you insist. your boys would have been screaming their heads off by now if anything scared them even the slightest bit.
"how about we finish the movie? i'm kinda curious to see how it ends," you suggest, and seungkwan agrees.
at some point during the movie, you must have dozed off, because when you open your eyes, you find yourself in your bedroom with the sunlight peeking in through the curtains.
and you discern the cause behind your disrupted sleep.
"babe, have you seen my badminton racquets?" seungkwan whispers gently, hovering above you.
"mm, not in the storage room?" you croak out, rubbing your eyes.
"nope, i already checked, and- wait, don't fall asleep!" seungkwan whines when you cover yourself with the blankets and turn to your side to sleep again.
"it's saturday, just sleep in kwan," you groan.
"but i told jeonghan i'd play badminton with him today," seungkwan frowns.
"alright, no morning cuddles for you then," you huff, feigning annoyance.
"i guess jeonghan wouldn't mind if i don't show up," seungkwan mumbles, and you smile triumphantly as your husband joins you in bed, holding you close.
the next time you wake up, you scream.
"what happened?" seungkwan gasps, immediately waking up as well. his panic dies down as soon as he sees the sight that made you scream.
both your sons holding seungkwan's missing badminton racquets, standing at the foot of the bed. their faces were covered by ski masks, and they stared at you both, racquets ready to attack.
("boys, we aren't ghosts," you try again. your boys still aren't very convinced. they've held seungkwan and you hostage in your bedroom for an hour under the pretext of protecting themselves from 'ghosts.'
"if we're ghosts, then i guess you won't get pancakes for breakfast," your husband declares, and your boys are immediately pouncing upon you two, apologizing for thinking you were ghosts and begging you to make them pancakes.
that day you make seungkwan promise that he won't let the boys near horror movies till they're eighteen.)
hansol:
winters always got freezing cold, and you insisted that everyone in the house must have at least one woollen on, even if they're just at home. the rule was made mainly because hansol tended to run a little cold, and you had to make sure that he was bundled up in warm clothes and socks at all times.
naturally, you're surprised when you find hansol on the couch, shivering even though he's wearing a thick jumper with a hoodie on top.
"honey, what's wrong?" you frown, immediately pulling your husband into a tight hug, hoping to warm him up.
"my warm socks, i can't find them," he complains. "they've been missing for, like, a week."
"but i remember washing them last week and putting them in your dresser," you say, clearly remembering when you had put the socks along with your other laundry.
"i'll buy some later," hansol sighs, cuddling into you for more warmth. at that moment, your daughter and son run into the living room, their hands hidden behind their backs.
"mom! dad! do you wanna see something fun?" your son asks enthusiastically, and you both nod at your children.
"okay, close your eyes, and be prepared to see a beautiful princess and a dragon!" your daughter instructs. both hansol and you share an amused glance before shutting your eyes, anticipating what your children have prepared.
you hear them whisper softly, and after a couple of minutes, they tell you to open your eyes.
your children have ducked behind the table, their bodies hidden, but their arms raise upwards.
and on their arms were puppets, made with...
... hansol's socks?
your children had drawn various faces and clothes onto the socks, and they confidently started their puppet show, narrating some version of a fairytale in which a dragon is locked in a tower, and the princess comes riding in on a horse and saves the dragon.
you look down at your husband, who is thoroughly enjoying the puppet show, his laugh reverberating in the living room, which only spurs your children on to making more exaggerated motions and voices as they narrate the story.
(in the end, you give hansol some of your own pink woollen socks, and the sight of him walking around the whole house with baby pink socks is surely a memory you'll remember for a long time.)
chan:
"mm, you need to shave," you groan when chan playfully nuzzles into the crook of your neck, his stubble grazing your skin.
"you're just like the others," chan pouts.
"well, the others are right," you smile. "plus, i happen to like my husband beard-less."
"whatever you wish, is my command," chan sighs dramatically, rolling out of bed to head into the bathroom.
"don't forget to use your electric razor!" you laugh, and he groans in response.
"neither my wife nor my friends will ever let me live in peace," chan laments, walking into the bathroom. he fetches his razor, which had been kept in a box on a high shelf so that their daughter wouldn't be able to reach it, but for some strange reason, the shaving foam wasn't there next to it.
"babe, did you keep my shaving foam somewhere?" chan calls out.
"it's always in the bathroom," you answer. "i have no use for it anyways."
chan sighs, looking in different cabinets to locate the shaving foam, but it had gone missing.
just then, your daughter walks into the room, banging a spoon on a plastic lid.
"breakfast is ready!"
after making her announcement, she scurries out of the room. chan and you are quick to follow, wondering if your daughter had messed up the kitchen.
surprisingly, she takes you to her bedroom, where there's a few plastic lids filled with something, and...
"my shaving foam!" chan points out, locating the can on his daughter's dresser.
"no! whipped cream! for pancake!" your daughter retorts, pointing to the plastic lids on her bed.
she had made purple-colored pancakes with clay (the other colors had gone missing) and they were topped off with chan's shaving foam.
"yum yum!"
chan and you burst into laughter at the same time.
(later, you make some real and edible pancakes, which your daughter and husband finish up quickly. they even fight over the last pancake.
amidst the chaos of the fight, they don't notice you quietly finishing up the last pancake too.)
- fin.

“Tiptoe and kiss.” — Kim Mingyu



⸝⸝୭ ˚. fluff . one-shot . cute
⋆ pairings : mingyu x gn!reader ⋆ warning : reader is kinda grumpy due to just waking up (inspired by real life y'all 😔) ⋆ wc : 0.4k [✉️] · Mingyu's plan backfiring? A daily routine now. (only if he wasn't so down bad)
⋆ - note : YALL I HAD SO MANY UNFINISHED WRITINGS ITS INSANE. I finished some of them and I'll probably continue posting for a few days before I start a series <3 stay tuned!!
"Gyu?" You peep your head in the kitchen. You had slept in almost the entire afternoon, but when you felt Mingyu's side of the bed cold, you were wide awake.
Mingyu turned at the sound of your voice and smiled. "You're awake? how was your sleep?" He asked as you walked towards him, still trying to adjust to the lighting.
"Pretty good.." You mumble, wrapping your arms around his side and rested your head on his shoulder.
Your blurry vision made Mingyu look more big than he was, and you furrowed your eyebrows trying to get a clear view of your surroundings.
"That's good, I was just about to wake you up. I'm preparing noodles for us." Mingyu says, glancing at you with a soft smile.
You hum and nod in response-something in you too lazy to word out a better response. But you could think of an even better response. You tiptoe to peck his cheek, but couldn't reach him as he didn't lean down.
You weren't short, Mingyu was too tall.
And it was true, your height was just above average but Mingyu? A literal 6'2 man. You'd have to be a giant to almost reach his height.
Maybe he didn't realise-so you try once again, and again, but Mingyu still didn't lean down for you to kiss his cheek. But you could see more clearer to notice the slight smug smile spreading across his face, making you frown.
"Hey, don't ignore me."
"Huh?"
"I said don't ignore me."
"What do you mean, baby? I'm not ignoring you." Mingyu said softly, biting his lower lip to stop the smile tugging at his lips. He turned to you, barely managing to hold back his laugh at the sight of your pout.
"You're doing this on purpose..." You say, rolling your eyes. Despite being a little sleepy, you couldn't shake off the feeling of irritation at how Mingyu decided to tease you instead of wrapping his arms around you and letting you kiss him.
Mingyu finally burst into a fit of laughter, wrapping his arms around your waist and putting his head on your shoulder to stabilize himself.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," He apologized between giggles, tightening his strong arms around you.
That stupid little fang smile of his, making you smile aswell. He leaned down, just like he always did so that you can kiss him all over his face, and closed his eyes.
"Here you go," he waited for your soft lips to press against his skin.
"What?"
Mingyu opens his eyes, looking at you with raised eyebrows. "Hm?"
"What are you doing?" You ask, placing your hands on his chest. It was your turn to tease him now.
Mingyu blinked, and slowly straighted himself. He looked down at your hand and let his lower lip jut out into a pout.
"I'm sorry, baby, I shouldn't have teased you." His voice barely above a whisper, he apologized. And now, you burst into a fit a laughter and gently grab his face to peck his lips.
His pout immediately turned into a grin as his hands find your lower back, and he softly deepens the kiss.

the reason of thirteen smiles (97z)

series masterlist
PAIRING seokmin, mingyu, and minghao (separately) x fem! reader GENRE fluff, comfort | 1.5k words | all established relationships SYPNOSIS the reason behind thirteen smiles (is you). NOTE sorry this took so long to update! i got a bit carried away with this one, but hope you all love it.
LEE SEOKMIN
seokmin finally walks into the green room after finishing his soundcheck moments before.
it was the opening night of seokmin’s musical, one that he was somehow balancing with his idol schedule, and you were supposed to be at the theater by now to see him before the show started.
he fishes his phone out to see that you left him a voice message thirty minutes ago. he quickly unlocks it, eager to hear your voice.
“hey baby,” your voice comes through, calming seokmin down as he sits on the couch, placing his phone on speaker. he grabs a water bottle to ensure his throat isn’t dry.
“i’m sorry, but i don’t think i’m making it to your show tonight.”
seokmin freezes from opening the cap of his water bottle, listening intently to the end of your message.
“something from work came up, and i really can’t be there. i'm so sorry, love, but i'll see you at home, okay?”
seokmin frowns as the message ends, disappointment filling his face. he sighs deeply, picking up his phone to type out a message, but he’s interrupted by a voice.
“seokmin! time to go now,” calls the stage manager from the doorway.
seokmin shakes his head, sending you a quick message. he walks out of the room, fake smile on display as he greets his cast members.
seokmin it's okay, baby. see you at home! i love you :)
after the show, seungkwan and jisoo join seokmin’s side to congratulate him.
“that performance was amazing!” seungkwan says, patting seokmin on the back while seokmin simply waves him off with a blush.
“no, really, that was amazing, seokmin!” jisoo adds, his eyes wide with excitement as they all walk to seokmin’s dressing room.
“thanks for coming, guys. it means a lot,” seokmin responds with a grateful smile. he knew the members’ schedules were packed, especially on a friday night, so he was touched that his two friends showed up.
the three arrive outside seokmin's door, and he motions towards the room. “we can go grab dinner. i just need to grab my phone.”
surprisingly, seungkwan shakes his head with a knowing smile. “you're going to take a little long.”
jisoo nods enthusiastically. “yeah, we’ll wait in the parking lot. take your time!”
both of them run off, causing seokmin to tilt his head in confusion. “see you later?” he trails off before turning the knob and walking into the room.
“surprise!” you run up to seokmin with a bouquet of flowers, hugging him immediately. seokmin stills, trying to comprehend that you’re here.
“love, didn’t you say you couldn’t make it?” he asks, his voice full of disbelief and joy.
you pull slightly away to see seokmin’s face, “i lied, but it was because i wanted to surprise you. you were amazing, by the way.”
seokmin's eyes widen, “you were in the crowd?”
you laugh, “of course! i made it right before they closed the doors. i couldn’t miss my boyfriend’s opening night, could i?”
seokmin takes the bouquet, setting it down on the table nearby, before pulling you closer. “i thought you couldn’t make it,” he murmurs.
you rest your head on his shoulder, “were you disappointed when i said i couldn’t make it tonight?”
seokmin slowly nods, “i was, but i also know you’ve been busy with work recently. so thank you for coming.”
you press a gentle kiss on seokmin’s lips before taking his hand. “i will always be here to support you.”
“now, should we go eat? i know seungkwan's waiting for you to buy him dinner,” you say with a playful smile.
seokmin chuckles, his eyes sparkling with happiness. “you're right, he’s probably starving.”
you pick up the bouquet, dragging seokmin outside the room and toward the parking lot.
seokmin smiles because he knows that no matter how busy life gets, you will always find a way to be there for his accomplishments.
KIM MINGYU
you and mingyu are snuggled on the couch, enjoying a cozy date night.
“that looks so good,” mingyu exclaims, pointing at the screen where a chef elegantly assembles a tiramisu. his eyes are wide with longing as he watches the dessert. you hum in agreement, and while mingyu is engrossed in the show, you quietly pick up your phone.
“why can’t they sell tiramisu near us?” mingyu sighs, a rhetorical question hanging in the air as he finally turns his head to look at you.
mingyu feels slightly ignored when he notices you’re not paying attention to the show anymore, but he doesn’t say anything, figuring you might be busy with something important.
the next day, mingyu calls you from the recording studio.
“hey, love,” mingyu says, his voice a bit tired. “as of right now, i don’t think i can make it on time for dinner since today’s recording is taking longer.”
“it's okay,” you reassure him. mingyu sighs, glancing at the clock. it's the afternoon, but with the pace that everyone is working, they won’t finish anytime soon.
“did you eat?” you ask, concern evident in your voice. mingyu smiles softly, touched by your care. “i haven’t yet, but i'll probably cook something when i get home. don't stay up for me, okay?”
after bidding goodbye, mingyu heads back into jihoon's studio to finish writing his lyrics. eventually, mingyu stands to go inside the recording booth.
“that sounds good,” mingyu says into the microphone to jihoon after hearing the recording replay.
“okay, you can step out now,” jihoon replies.
hansol walks past mingyu for his turn to record, and mingyu notices a white square box set on the table. seungcheol and wonwoo's eyes brighten when they see mingyu.
“this is for you!” seungcheol announces.
mingyu observes the box, recognizing the label is from a familiar café that’s far away. “you guys got me this?”
as mingyu opens the box, wonwoo shakes his head. “it's from your girlfriend. she came earlier to drop it off, but you were recording.”
mingyu stares down at the slice of tiramisu cake in disbelief. “looks like she went far to buy it for you,” seungcheol adds, recognizing the café that this dessert was from.
mingyu smiles because you remembered the small details he mentioned when he thought you weren’t listening.
XU MINGHAO
“guys, you have to try this oolong tea I brought back from home,” minghao announces, carefully pouring hot water into the teapot.
all of his friends are over for a simple dinner, but minghao wanted to show off his favorite tea set to them.
minghao is in his element, explaining the nuances of the tea leaves and the perfect brewing time. everything is going perfectly until a sudden, accidental elbow from seungkwan knocks the teapot off the counter.
the room goes silent as the teapot shatters on the floor, glass shards scattering everywhere. seungkwan's face goes pale, and minghao's expression turns from joy to distress.
“oh my, i'm so sorry!” seungkwan exclaims, bending down to pick up the pieces. you step in, trying to help, while everyone else stands in shock.
minghao holds up his hand, his voice strained but calm. “um, it's okay, seungkwan. it was an accident.”
you can see the hurt in your boyfriend's eyes, even though he tries to hide it. the teapot isn’t just an object to him, as it is a source of his comfort.
as the night goes on, minghao remains withdrawn despite the attempts of his friends to cheer him up.
after everyone leaves, minghao sits on the couch, staring at the broken pieces of his beloved teapot that was placed on the table. you can feel his sadness, and it breaks your heart to see him like this.
without another word, minghao heads inside your shared bedroom and falls asleep quickly, trying to suppress his emotions.
when minghao opens his eyes in the morning, he notices your side of the bed is cold. confused, he steps out of the bedroom, rubbing his eyes while walking down the hallway.
minghao's eyes widen when he sees you sleeping in the living room.
“love?” he questions, and his eyes shift to the table.
“hey, sorry. i fell asleep in the living room.” you wake up and stretch as your body feels sore.
minghao slowly picks up his teapot, the one that was in pieces last night. “you fixed it?”
“i tried to glue it back together,” you say sheepishly, “but i also ordered you a new set. it's safer to use the new one, but i thought you might like to have the old one, too.”
minghao gently places the teapot down, his heart swelling at your actions. he pulls you into a tight embrace, holding you close. “you didn’t have to do all this,” he murmurs into your hair. “but thank you. it means so much to me.”
you smile, resting your head against his chest. “i know how much it meant to you. but i hope you can talk to seungkwan, he seemed so shaken up last night."
minghao pulls back slightly, looking into your eyes. “i'll talk to him when i see him later. but seriously, thank you, love.” he presses a kiss to your forehead.
when you go to place the teapot back on display with the glass set, minghao stares down at the used tube of superglue left on the table.
minghao smiles after you help fix his broken teapot, even though you sacrificed your sleep for it, because you knew how much it meant to him.

[🌾] 003. market- favorite enemy series
masterlist
the sun shone brightly that saturday morning, casting warm rays over the houses that lined the narrow street. the homes of you and mingyu were separated by just a street and a childhood rivalry that never seemed to fade, no matter the age. childhood friends who spent more time bickering than anything else, you told everyone you were enemies, but the feeling went far beyond mutual teasing.
you sleepily walked downstairs, the familiar aroma of fresh coffee filling the kitchen and welcoming you comfortingly. dressed in loose pajamas, you entered the kitchen distractedly, waving to your mother who was finishing up breakfast. however, when you looked up, you froze.
sitting in your favorite spot, right next to your mother, was mingyu. he smiled mischievously when he noticed the look of displeasure on your face. it was a smug smile, as if he knew exactly what he was doing.
"good morning, slacker," he teased, taking a sip of coffee as if he owned the place.
you narrowed your eyes. "who let this imposter in?"
"imposter? are you hearing this, eomeoni?" mingyu shot back, redirecting the conversation to your mom, laughing.
you rolled your eyes, moving closer to the table and deliberately bumping his head as you sat down. mingyu complained, rubbing the spot where you hit him, but his smile didn't fade. you settled in across from him, making it clear you were there to annoy him just as much as he was annoying you.
"you know that's my spot, right?" you grumbled, pushing a piece of toast onto your plate.
"i know," he replied with a cheeky grin, pushing his coffee cup toward you. "but whoever wakes up late gets the leftover spot."
"oh yeah?" you took his cup, bringing it to your lips and taking a sip, just to see his reaction. mingyu gasped, staring at you in disbelief.
"hey, that's my coffee!" he protested, but didn't move to take the cup back.
"it's mine now." you took a long, deliberate sip, your eyes locked on his the entire time.
your mom, watching the amusing interaction between the two of you, seized the moment to ask a favor. “y/n, why don't you and mingyu go to the market to pick up the order for me? it's too heavy for me to carry.”
you almost choked on your coffee, turning to your mom with an exaggerated look of horror. “go with him? in the same car?”
your mom laughed, shaking her head. “oh, stop it. it's just a quick trip to the market.”
you shot a glare at mingyu, who just smiled. "come on, y/n. don't be a killjoy. or are you afraid to be alone with me?"
“i'm not afraid of anything, especially not you,” you muttered, but your mom gave you that insistent look you couldn't ignore.
a few minutes later, you were in mingyu's car. he unlocked the door and, before you got in, started laying down his rules with the authority of a drill sergeant.
“first thing: get in with clean feet. i don't want you dirtying up my car. second: don't mess with the seat, it's adjusted exactly how i like it. third: no playing your horrible music. and-”
before he could continue, you had already entered with dirty feet on purpose, adjusted the seat forward, and started fiddling with the radio to play your peculiar playlist that he couldn't stand. mingyu looked at you in disbelief.
“i just told you the rules!” he exclaimed, but you just shrugged, acting as if you hadn't heard anything.
“you didn't expect me to obey, did you?” you said casually, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
mingyu grumbled but couldn't help but smile. your stubbornness was one of the things he hated and loved at the same time. the drive to the market was filled with silly arguments about the music, the seat adjustment, and the dirty shoes, but deep down, that was your dynamic—and neither of you would trade it for anything.
when you arrived at the market, mingyu went straight to pick up the order. you, however, quickly got distracted in the snacks aisle, grabbing colorful packets and analyzing each one. mingyu, with the heavy bags in hand, watched you from afar, shaking his head but with a soft smile he couldn't contain.
after a few minutes, you noticed his presence, the heavy bags pulling his arms down. you ran over to him, grabbing one of the bags.
"let me help, you're carrying everything," you said, trying to lighten his load.
mingyu shook his head. “i can handle it, y/n. these bags are too heavy for you.”
you insisted, trying to take the bag back. "i'm not made of porcelain, mingyu. besides, if you pass out here, how will i explain it to my mom?"
he laughed, finally giving in and letting you take one of the bags. your fingers brushed his for a moment, and both of you fell silent, the weight of the interaction both familiar and yet different. you held the bag with determination, and mingyu watched in silence, with a mix of pride and something else he preferred not to name.
as you walked back to the car, mingyu glanced at you out of the corner of his eye, noticing the frown on your face as you carried the bag. this was the same y/n—stubborn and independent—and he couldn't imagine his life without those daily bickering sessions. maybe you were childhood enemies, but it was the best enmity he could have.
you walked side by side toward the parking lot, the bags swaying gently in your hands. you walked in silence, a comfortable silence that you rarely shared, but that seemed perfectly fitting at that moment.
as mingyu talked about some random topic, you suddenly stopped, your eyes widening as you spotted someone familiar approaching from the opposite direction. the playful smile on your face vanished instantly, and you instinctively hid behind mingyu, using his body as a shield. he stopped walking, frowning in confusion at your behavior.
"y/n, what are you doing?" he asked, turning his head to try and see you.
before you could answer, mingyu noticed the figure approaching. his body automatically tensed, recognizing the man heading toward you with a sneering smile. it was your ex-boyfriend, a guy mingyu could never stand. he knew the guy was a jerk, the kind of person who made you wonder how someone as smart as you had fallen for his charm.
your ex stopped in front of you, his eyes piercing you with an unpleasant familiarity. “y/n, what a coincidence to run into you here,” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
you didn't respond, keeping yourself firmly behind mingyu, who, sensing your discomfort, adopted a protective stance. he moved slightly to block the man's view of you, shooting a hard look that said much more than words could express.
"no coincidence at all," mingyu shot back, his voice firm and cold. "what do you want?"
your ex gave a sarcastic smile, ignoring the question and trying to peek at you behind mingyu. "just wanted to say hi. it's been a while, right, y/n?" he said, stepping closer.
you remained silent, trying to make yourself invisible, but mingyu had no patience for games. he took a large step forward, forcing the guy to back off a bit.
“she doesn't want to talk to you. so you'd better move on and stop bothering her,” mingyu said, his voice carrying authority. he didn't raise his voice, but the implicit threat was clear.
your ex found it amusing, but he knew that with mingyu by your side, he wouldn't be able to get to you. "all right, all right, no need to get mad hyung," he said mockingly, casting one last look at you before walking away.
as soon as he disappeared from view, you let out a shaky sigh, feeling the weight of relief mixed with the adrenaline still coursing through your veins. mingyu turned to you, his face relaxing as he noticed how shaken you were. the silence stretched for a moment, laden with emotions neither of you knew how to express.
not knowing exactly how to break the tension, mingyu decided to follow his usual instinct – to tease you. a wry smile appeared on his lips as you both headed back to the car.
“you don’t know how to do anything right, do you?” he began, a playful tone in his voice. “not even pick a decent boyfriend.”
you looked at him, first with a surprised expression, which quickly turned into a mix of irritation and relief. the familiar teasing was, in a way, comforting. “look who’s talking,” you retorted, trying to sound confident, but there was still a slight tremor in your voice. “as if you were an expert in picking girlfriends.”
mingyu laughed, that warm laugh that always seemed to ease any tension. “i might not be an expert, but at least i don’t hide behind other people,” he teased, giving you a light nudge with his elbow.
you gave him a gentle tap on the arm, which only made him laugh more. “you’re an idiot,” you murmured, but there was a faint smile on your lips.
when you finally got into the car, the atmosphere felt lighter. mingyu glanced at you, who was looking out the window, trying to collect your thoughts. he could see you were still trying to process what had happened, so, for the first time in a long time, he decided to say nothing. the silence was comfortable, and sometimes, it was all you needed.
as he drove back home, with the radio playing softly the song you had chosen, mingyu gave a slight smile, more to himself than anyone else.
“hey, you,” he finally said, his voice softer than usual.
“what’s up, gyu?” you responded, still looking out the window, but with a somewhat calmer tone.
“you know i’m here for you, right?” the words came out without much pretense, but their meaning was much deeper than anything else he could have said.
you turned to look at him, a serious expression on your face before you finally relaxed. “i know,” you replied softly, and this time, without any teasing.
and, for the first time that day, the silence between you was more than just a pause – it was an understanding.

“y/n, get up now. let's go biking. i'm on my way to your house.” mingyu's voice was soft and gentle, but it still managed to cut through the veil of your deep sleep. you were lying down, still sleepy, struggling to open your eyes.
it didn't take long before the doorbell started ringing. with dragging steps and half-closed eyes, you made your way to the door, feeling every second drag on.
“y/n?” mingyu asked, a slightly indignant expression on his face when he saw you weren't ready. his voice held a mix of surprise and mild frustration.
“let's go later, mingyu. i'm too lazy...” you whimpered, your voice thick with sleep and exhaustion. "please" he rolled his eyes, sighing deeply and crossing his arms.
“okay,” he replied, frustration evident in his eyes. you gave a muffled laugh and, pulling him by the wrist, invited him inside the apartment.
mingyu had been your best friend since childhood. one of your favorite pastimes was biking in the early hours of the morning when the sun was just rising and the city was waking up. but on that particular day, you simply didn't have the energy to get out of bed. all you wanted was to stay under your covers.
“what's wrong?” he asked softly, joining you on the couch, his eyes filled with concern.
“nothing,” you replied with a weak smile, trying to hide the truth. your job was draining you, but you didn't want to burden your friend with your problems.
“uhmm,” he murmured, accepting your answer but knowing there was more to it. he rested his head on your legs, his brown eyes fixed on yours. “whenever you want to share your problems with me, i'm here, okay?” he said gently.
you nodded, feeling a wave of gratitude and affection for him. “thank you, gyu,” you whispered, your voice barely audible.
with a smile, you started to gently run your fingers through mingyu's short hair. soon, he fell asleep right there, and you ended up dozing off as well, despite the uncomfortable position.
hours later, you woke up and saw mingyu lying on the other side of the couch. it was then that you heard a familiar sound. running to the window, you confirmed your suspicions: it was raining.
your hand went to your mouth. how were you going to tell him it was raining and that the bike ride you begged to postpone now seemed impossible?
“y/n...” he called, his voice sleepy and soft. “what are you doing?” he rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up.
“gyu, i'm sorry...” you approached him cautiously, biting your lip.
“why are you apologizing?” he asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.
“gyu... it's raining,” you said, pointing to the window.
“what?” he quickly woke up and went to the window, placing his hands on his hips in a mock authoritative stance. the sight made you laugh involuntarily.
“are you laughing, y/n?” he asked, his voice playful yet incredulous.
you walked up to him, a mischievous smile on your face. “oh, it's not raining that hard... let's bike in the rain?” you suggested, your eyes sparkling with excitement.
he looked at you, surprised. “are you serious?” his voice was a mix of disbelief and amusement.
“yes, let's go! it could be fun,” you insisted, your enthusiasm infectious.
mingyu hesitated, looking at the rain outside and then back at you. “y/n, i don't know... what if you get sick?” his voice was filled with genuine concern.
you smiled, trying to reassure him. “i'll be fine, gyu. it'll be an adventure,” you promised, giving his arm a gentle squeeze.
he still seemed reluctant but couldn't resist your enthusiasm. with a sparkle in his eyes, mingyu grabbed your bikes, and you both went out into the light rain. the feeling of the cool drops on your skin was invigorating, and the city seemed magical under the gray shroud. you rode through the wet streets, laughing and feeling like kids again.
the water streamed down your faces, mingling with the laughter and pure joy of the moment. each pedal stroke was an escape from worries, a reminder that even on the toughest days, there was beauty and joy to be found.
“having fun?” you shouted, your voice almost lost in the sound of the rain.
“yes, but i'm worried about you!” mingyu replied, looking at you with concern. “let's head back home before you catch a cold,” he added, his voice firm but caring.
you returned to the apartment, drenched but with light hearts and bright smiles on your faces. the rain might have changed your plans, but it brought a new adventure and memories you would cherish forever.
“thanks for this, gyu,” you said softly, holding his hand as you both dried off, your voice filled with gratitude.
“no, y/n, thank you,” he replied, squeezing your hand. “but next time, let's bike on a sunny day, okay? i don't want to see you get sick,” he added, his voice filled with genuine concern and affection.
you laughed, nodding. “deal, mingyu. deal,” you agreed, your heart warmed by his care and friendship.
