small life update 🌱

first of all I'm alive and still following my lessons!! (that's a start)

about the au,,, I don't feel like its going in a good direction? like I'm stumped and not convinced of the plot I made for the following chapters and that doesn't help me wanting to finish them,,,

[somehowwriting]

fun fact i am literally writing another entire sns au cause good guy is such a catchy song and after seeing them live last week i’m betraying day6 with sf9,, and somehow i’m halfway done in writing it ((the other half is a general plan on where i think the plot should go but won’t cause it’s always like this))

as if i shouldn’t study and finish dolled up : - )

[somehowwriting]

me: i should study also me: i should write the chapters

[somehowwriting]

Dolled Up // Hip Hop Unit Route

twelve ½, where cheol gets in overprotective brother mode

prev < masterlist > next

Plot: As a doll customizer, YN keeps a decent following on internet while juggling university, her love for day6 and otome games. But after people with too much time finally realize her brother is also a quite famous youtuber, her public and personal life starts to change, hopefully for good.

[somehowwriting]

Knocking on the door, she is faced with a rather attractive stranger. At this point she wonder if it’s a curse, or it’s just the fact that apparently good-looking guys stick together.

"You must be YN! I'm Joshua, Wonwoo is inside come in."

She nods shyly, while the boy keeps the door open for her, and pointing at a nearby hanger for her jacket.

"Do you want something to drink?" He asks softly, at which she shakes her head. "Let me know if you need something. Wonwoo is here, and I'll come in later since he asked for my help."

YN knocks at the door, and after a few seconds she's met with Wonwoo's face, who has a soft smile on it from the moment he sees her. "Hi! Come in, Soonyoung let me borrow his room for filming since in my apartment was a bit cramped and Mingyu and Vernon were filming their own video."

"How nice of him."

"I actually had to basically buy him.... And he may want to meet you, if he gets here before we finish." He adds rubbing his neck.

"It's okay, I guess he's not a creepy person like the one from a couple of days ago."

"That's for sure, but he's very energetic. Sometimes a bit too much, and he's even worse when he's with Seok and Kwannie.."

"You have such a bunch of lively friends! I don't have that many and sometimes it's a bit sad..."

"Well you have me and Gyu for sure! He still brings up the fact you haven’t met around campus. And I could introduce you to my friends if you want..." 'Even if right now I want to be the only one to spend time with you'  is left unsaid.

She nods, before bringing the conversation back to the reason of their meet up "So what's the idea you got for the video?"

"I was thinking something like anime knowledge or something like giving each other a makeover? I asked Joshua to be our judge if that's okay with you."

"Should we go for the first idea? I doubt you have female clothes and make up lying around, not to talk about your own wardrobe.."

"You're right.. Let me call Joshua so we can start"

The video filming goes smoothly, both of them being around a similar score. The three of them laugh and joke around, mocking each other when someone doesn't know the answer, with Joshua looking at them with something akin to a proud smile, seeing the two of them getting closer the more they film. And YN is not even worried about the internet seeing her face, even if she has her trusted No Face mask in her bag, but at the same time being too scared to take it out and probably ruin whatever she’s forming with Wonwoo.

In the end YN loses, and according to the rules they set at the beginning, she has to fulfil a number of dares chosen by Joshua. Taking out a 20 faced dice he rolls it, 12 comes out accompanied by a cheer from Wonwoo and a sigh from YN.

The first couple ones are quite basic and calm, mostly involving eating gross combinations of foods. She even has to apply lipstick blindfolded to a giggly Wonwoo, who ends up looking more like a Joker than anything else, after blushing profusely under the girl’s careful touches.

By the tenth dare she's sitting on Wonwoo's lap (dare number seven - “make them sit on Wonwoo’s lap until the end of the video, or vice versa”) while trying to finish her fish fingers and custard, with the boy's arms around her middle.

"Oh I like this one!" Joshua says, with a wicked smile that goes unnoticed to the duo. "Are you single, YN?"

"Yes..?"

"Okay so here we go! 'Call the last number in friend’s call log and prank them into thinking Wonwoo is their boyfriend!' parenthesis 'Imagine how fun it would be if he does it with a male friend even if my meanie ship would be ruined'."

"Meanie..?" She asks confused.

"They ship me and Gyu."

"Ooh. Wait let me check my phone.... Uh, do you really want to call my brother?" She says, a bit worried.

"Let's do it, it's a dare! And don't forget to put the phone on speaker. And Woo, you have to be quick!" Joshua grins, pressing the phone's screen.

"Hello? YN, you okay?" Cheol's voice fill the room, making the two boys confused as they try to recognize the familiar voice on the line.

"Yeah yeah, just I wanted you to meet my boyfriend."

And with a push from Joshua, Wonwoo says his line "Hi I'm YN's boyfriend Wonwoo."

There's a five second silence before the phone explodes. "JEON WONWOO AND CHOI YN WE NEED TO HAVE A TALK! WHY WASN'T I INFORMED OF THIS SOONER?"

"IT'S A DAMN PRANK, WHY ARE YOU PULLING OUT THE FULL NAMES, CHOI SEUNGCHEOL?" YN answers back, not noticing the surprised (and scared) faces of the guys sitting near her.

"YAH! I AM GOING TO T-" He doesn't finish his sentence as the girl hangs up the call, sighing.

"Sorry he's a bit overprotective... Why are you looking at me like this?"

"That..."

"Yeah Cheollie is loud and overprotective."

"Wait wait wait. This is your brother?" Joshua says tapping on his phone, until he finds a random photo of said guy.

"Why do you have a photo of him? Also please send it to me it's hilarious."

"You're telling me my roommate is your brother?" Wonwoo asks, looking at her.

"What? You live with him? I only ever met Vernon."

Hitting his head on her back while muttering to himself, Wonwoo takes a deep breath before speaking again. "Yeah, me and Mingyu live with them. And if you want you can come over tomorrow to edit the video, we can cut this part too if you want."

"Maybe it's better,,, fans online have too much free time."

Joshua clears his throat from his seat on the bed behind them. "Do you want to do the last dare or we finish it here?"

"Let's finish it here, thanks Shua" Wonwoo decides, and the other guy nods, before leaving the room.

"So..." YN starts, still sitting not moving from her position on Wonwoo's lap.

"Soooo..." He replies, putting his chin over her shoulder. "Okay, I was a bit shocked to find out you're the YN  that Cheol sometimes talks about, and I can completely understand if you don't want this video to see the light, just let me know, okay?"

“Fine” She answers, leaning back on his chest. “To be honest I didn’t expect the world to be so small. But that explains quite a bit, doesn’t it?”

“You’re right..... Just, I’m going to get murdered when I go back to my apartment.” Wonwoo sighs, burying his face in her hair.

“Then what will be the fate of this video?”

“Right, I’ll delete it and then get killed by Cheol.”

“I can put a good word in”

“It would probably make the situation worse, let’s be honest.” He mutters, before checking the time on his phone, trying to avoid looking at the notifications that consist mostly of Cheol’s messages. “Also we probably need to leave unless you want to meet Soonyoung, but I guess it’s enough for today...”

“You’re right.” She pouts, as she leaves the warm embrace and stretch her arms.

“Do you want me to go home with you?”

“No, it’s okay. Jaein is around here and we can go home together. I can also threaten Jihoon, since he started dating her.”

“Jihoon? You mean barista Jihoon?” Wonwoo asks surprised by this information.

“He is part of the youtuber group too, right?”

“Yeah, and I am feeling betrayed. You knew about the relationship before any of us” He pouts.

With a laugh YN gets her coat, and opens the door.

“See you tomorrow?”

“Yeah, it’s a date.” He replies before waving at her leaving figure, both of them blushing at the implication of his goodbye.

[somehowwriting]

The afternoon is sunny, no clouds in the October sky and YN is minding her own business at the bus stop, scrolling on her phone, occasionally tapping the screen. The battery is dangerously low - almost 10% - and realising she forgot her own powerbank, she knows she won't be able to listen to music and isolate herself during the 20 minute ride on her bus, who is now approaching.

Choosing an empty double seat near the back door, she sighs as she drops her bag near her feet and look out the window.

"Miss, do you have a cigarette?" A voice asks, and she's met with a man in his thirties, that is staring at her.

"No, I don't smoke." The reply is accompanied with a shake of her head, as she whisper to herself "No I'm just no-..."

The guy apparently caught her last phrase and looking at the man seated besides him, wonders out loud "So you're saying you're normal? And what are we? Extraterrestrial? You know I'm just like you!"

The awkwardness is raising and no one is minding the guy even if the bus is almost empty, save from some guys sitting at the front.

"Come on Miss, loosen up! Live a little! Smoke some weed and party! You know there's one in Itaewon tonight?"

The girl shakes her head, hoping for the man to stop talking to her and leave her alone, but looking at his stance - body completely turned towards her and a recurring winking accompained by a cocky smile - she knows it won't stop soon, even if the older man sitting beside the creep is trying to make him reason saying she surely has a boyfriend and she's clearly not interested in having sex with him.

Please let him believe I'm taken and just cut it off. Please please please please

And as the next stop approaches and YN can do nothing but looking at the door opening and closing, she doesn't even know how she's managing not to cry in this exact moment.

"I mean I see she's hot but I'm sure she won't say no to spend time with me even if she has a boyfriend!" The man says out loud, laughing and shooting her another wink. As he's clearly moving to sit next to her, someone is quicker and a body is now besides her, an arm circling her waist and a quick kiss on her cheek, surprising her.

"Sorry I was late, Gyu asked me to drop him at his class." Wonwoo face is so close and after a moment of shock, the only feeling is relief.

"No problem, dear." YN says, noticing a small blush on her current fake-boyfriend's cheeks.

"I told you she had a boyfriend" The older man says, as a matter of fact.

"Eh. She could do better than this walking matchstick."

Seeing the anger flaring in Wonwoo's eyes, YN takes one of his hands, lacing their fingers together. "Don't mind them. Also we need to get out now."

He nods, relaxing a bit. Taking the bag from over her feet and raising up, still keeping their hands together, he hurries her to move near the door.

YN mistakenly looks at the two men, and after yet another uncomfortable wink from that man, she leaves the bus with Wonwoo.

The walk home is silent, both of them still mulling their heads over the events of the last fifteen minutes, completely forgotten about how they're still holding hands even if there's no need now.

Somehow she feels sad to be this close to her apartment. She knows her friend will confront her, and they'll insist to let her brother know about the event - but she feels already better, and it has probably something to do with the guy who's now swinging their hands while humming to himself.

"Thanks for the help Wonwoo.." She says, squeezing his hand.

"It's not a problem. Also sorry if I made you unconfortable on the bus... I wanted to chat with you anyway, I just ended up saving you from a creep who just wanted to have sex with you. And lets be honest, if you didn't stop me I would have started a fight. Men like him are repulsive." He adds, smiling at the girl besides him, who's now smiling softly in his direction.

They haven't talked much in the few weeks since they've met each other, besides some talk about episodes and university in general. But he's a nice and cute guy, and YN is thinking about how this would have gone if he wasn't just a fake boyfriend for the afternoon, just to help her get away from a creepy man on a bus. But at the same time she's too awkward to try and ruin this new friendship and she's almost sure he doesn't share similar feelings.

She makes him stop in front of a building. "I'm here." She nods at the apartment complex. "Do you want to come up? I can't assure my roommates are out, but we have coffee and tea if you want."

"Oh thanks for the invite, but I need to be home quickly, my friend has already sent at least five texts and called me twice because I am still out. He's such a dad."

Trying to hide her slight disappointment she laughs "I feel you, my brother used to do the same when we lived together. But why didn't you answer?"

His cheeks looks a bit redder under the lamppost's light and he murmurs "I had other priorities."

Before any of them can add something else YN phone starts blasting Cheol's scream - her own personalized call tune for her brother - that dies two seconds in, along with her phone.

"That was my brother. He worries too much. Guess I have to charge my phone and talk to him. Let me know if you got home safe."

And in the spur of the moment she leans to kiss his cheek, before untangling her hand and running to the complex's door, leaving a blushing Wonwoo smiling at himself.

Panting slightly, YN reaches the door of her brother’s apartment. Hopefully this time she won’t have any weird interaction with hot guys. But of course luck is not on her side, and she’s faced by a good looking guy yet again - what’s up with her looking and/or acting like a mess in front of hot guys?

“Oh! It’s you again! Cheol is inside, come in” The boy grins. “Thanks” she replies, before entering and looking for her brother. “Is that another bag for Cheol?” He asks, noticing how she has with her a black shopping bag. “No that’s for me. Need to hide my face.” “Uh…. Okay.” He shrugs, before moving to the kitchen and leaving her alone. “Cheol’s in his room!”

Hearing noises and her brother’s imprecations, she opens a nearby door. “Is that you?” “Oh YN! You finally here! Took you quite long!” “Had to buy a costume.” “For what?” “Hiding.” “Seriously you should show your face on the internet! You’re so cute!” Cheol dedpans. “You just say that cause you’re my brother and you’re scared of my costume choices.” “That may be true but it doesn’t leave out the fact you should put your face on your videos! Anyway what did you choose?” The older boy pouts, before curiously trying to peek into the bag. “No Face! He was so cute I had to buy it! And I can also reuse it for Halloween, you know?” YN almost scream at the brother, tearing the plastic and placing the white mask on her face, hiding her grin. Cheol facepalms. “Fine fine put on your mask and let’s film.”

“Cheol everything okay? Why are you two screami… Oh, nice costume.” Vernon says, appearing from the door. “I know, finally someone who appreciate it! See he has taste!” YN says, pointing in the door’s general direction. “Sure sure, be his friend then.” “Cheol!! Don’t say that in front of him! And I have friends, thank you very much, also you know I scare people away. Even if I made new friends at the coffee shop…” She whisper loudly, hitting her brother’s arm. “You have to tell me about them! Also sorry Vernon, I forgot introductions. She’s my sister, YN, and YN he’s Vernon, one of my friends and roommates. Now please take that mask away and greet him.” “Hi” she awkwardly says, mask on her face, before finger-gunning the boy. With a small giggle Vernon finger-guns back and close the door behind him. “End my suffering, brother.” “Shut up we got a video to film.”
