Y/N Y/L/N: This man unsettles me. Why the hell do you smile at me like a proud kid looking at his mom for praise?
We filmed the most gut-wrenching, soul-wrecking traumatic scene for your character.
You just know what you will be doing to the fans. You know their pain, and enjoy it and they are gonna come after you for therapy bills. Hope you are rich.

Y/N Y/L/N: More memes!
1. Freddy is my one true love, and more attentive and mature and cares more about me.( this is definetly not my amazing,handsome, attentive and bullied boyfriend whom I should pay more attention to.)
2. This is what I was talking about! Look at hım and tell me you wouldn't immediately accept whatever mindblowing War crime he wants to commit together?
3. The only surprise element here is that I paid for the tickets... Even if they were the ones who went to to cinema.

I Am The Boyfriend, Sir
wc: 1.5k
pronouns: she/her (he/him and they/them versions are below original!)
warnings: junhyeon being unhinged, ~flirtatious ending~, allusion to strict parents, fluff
summary: kum junhyeon is SO excited to finally meet your parents... what could possibly go wrong?
~bp masterlist~ ♡ ~kofi (no pressure at all)~
THE HOURS. ARE DWINDLING. THE END. IS NYE. THE APOCALYPSE NEAR. BEP1ER IS APPROACHING RAPIDLY. i don't want to stop writing about any of these guys. i don't want to stop seeing any of themmm. i love them so much. catch me in therapy tomorrow only talking about boys planet istg.
"I think they're gonna love me," Junhyeon predicts as he hops out of the car. You grab your bag from the floor and start to open the passenger door, but your boyfriend beats you to it. He holds his hand out to help you chivalrously with a cheeky grin.
"Thank you, kind sir," you tease as you step out of the car. He laughs, taking your bag from you and throwing it over his shoulder along with his own.
"I'm so excited," Junhyeon relays, grabbing your hand and forcing you to jump up and down with him as you walk up to your parents' front door. "I can't believe I'm about to meet the people who made you who you are! I bet they're just as fun as you."
"Well..." You start to interject, but he continues on.
"Ugh, I've seen this moment in dramas a bunch of times. The male lead is always stressing out about meeting 'the family'," Junhyeon babbles as you ring the doorbell. "It's so annoying! Like, what are you so worried about? That your father-in-law is going to--."
Just then, the door swings open to reveal your dad. Six-foot-four and brawny, a greying mustache, and wearing his Marines t-shirt that you always begged him not to wear when you had guests over, your dad blinks back at the two of you in the doorway.
"Kill you," Junhyeon finishes his sentence in a whisper as he takes in your dad's massive build.
Your dad gives you a warm smile. "Hey, peanut," he says gruffly, then turns to Junhyeon; giving him a once over. "So you're the boyfriend?"
“YES, SIR!” Junhyeon jumps to attention, dropping your hand as quickly as possible and saluting your dad. "I AM THE BOYFRIEND, SIR!"
Your dad shoots you a concerned look as you reach up and pry your boyfriend's hand from his forehead. "Dad, this is Junhyeon."
"Junhyeon, huh?" Your dad nods thoughtfully. "I had a buddy in the service named Junhyeon."
Your boyfriend grins and you can tell he's revving up for a joke. "Is he handsome, too? I wouldn't want you to get us mixed up."
"He's dead," your dad announces dryly.
Your bag drops from Junhyeon's shoulder to the ground as shock takes over his whole body.
Your dad snorts. "I'm just messing with ya, kid. Come on in; your mother's setting the table."
Shaking your head hopelessly, you finally step past your dad through the door and into the house. When you realize Junhyeon isn't following you, you turn around to see what the hold up is.
"Junhyeon?" You begin to question before you see your boyfriend on the ground in a full bow in front of your father.
"Thank you for letting me into your home, sir. I appreciate so deeply your hospitality and kindness," Junhyeon pleads as you walk back over to him and pull him up by the neck of his t-shirt.
"Let's go," you say exasperatedly, dragging him through the front door and into your house. Your mom walks out from the kitchen into the living room, smiling at you.
"Hi, peanut," she greets softly, giving you a pat on the cheek before turning to your boyfriend. "It's nice to meet you, Junhyeon."
Junhyeon nods respectfully at your mom, whose hair is tied up in a tight bun with her rectangular framed glasses sitting towards the end of her nose. A research librarian, your mom was quiet and caring by nature-- but she valued discipline and quiet just as much as your dad while you were growing up.
"You kids can drop your things off upstairs and freshen up before we eat," your mom directs. "There's clean sheets on the guest room to the right."
Junhyeon's eyes bug incredulously. "We--... You want us to sleep in the same room!?"
Your mom glances at you. "Is that a problem?"
Junhyeon nods vigorously, checking over his shoulder to see your dad sitting in the arm chair behind you. "We won't be sharing a bed until we're married!"
You grab your boyfriend's sleeve, pulling him towards the stairs and up to the guest room-- shutting the door quickly behind you.
"Baby, what the hell are you doing?" You ask, watching as Junhyeon sits down on the bed quite cautiously.
"I--... I don't know," he says, shaking his head in disbelief. "I'm so scared."
You can't help but laugh at your boyfriend's complete attitude change. In the car he couldn't shut up about how good he is with parents; how his friends' dads always adore him more than their own sons...
And now, here he is: head in his hands on the verge of combustion from terror.
"I know they can come off a little intimidating at first," you soothe, walking over to Junhyeon. He rests his head on your stomach and you run your fingers through his hair soothingly. "But I promise their bite isn't nearly as bad as their bark."
"He's so big," Junhyeon whispers. "How does he even fit through the door?"
"Well, they actually had custom doorframes built in this new house..." You trail off when you see him looking up at you with a worry you'd never really seen on him before. "Hyeonni, it's going to be absolutely fine. Didn't you say you were excited to meet the people who made me who I am?"
Junhyeon laughs sadly. "But you're so... I mean, you're..."
"Fun? Light-hearted? Whimsical? Care-free?" You suggest, Junhyeon nodding enthusiastically in response.
"Exactly!" He agrees, eyes widening as he makes a clarification. "Not that there's anything wrong with them or anything! You're just really different, is all."
“I actually evolved more in response to my upbringing," you say with a sigh. "Not in accordance with it."
Junhyeon puckers his lips cutely and you lean down to kiss him. He wraps his arms around your waist tightly, deepening the kiss.
"Two minutes!" Your mom calls up the stairs, causing Junhyeon to jump back up to attention-- almost knocking you over in the process. He catches you quickly with one arm and spins you around, placing you down firmly in the spot he was just sitting.
"Trying to steal my innocence," he shames, clicking his tongue and shaking his head disapprovingly as he makes his way to the bathroom. "It's like you want your dad to bury me in the backyard."
~
You watch as Junhyeon takes very careful, calculated bites of his steak; cutting respectfully with the knife and fork provided to him. Usually he'd just shove the meat in his face and nearly swallow it whole.
"I heard you were thinking of moving in together," your mom says, smiling politely at the two of you.
Junhyeon blinks nervously. "No, no. Me and her? No. No way. Absolutely not."
"Oh," your mom replies in surprise. "(Y/N) told us that--."
Junhyeon interrupts: "(Y/N) is an evil temptress and I am but a mere victim."
Your dad chokes on his water.
"Junhyeon," you try to intercept to no avail.
"We will not be moving in together. We don't have any physical contact-- not even platonically. This is actually the first time I've seen her in a month," your panicked boyfriend rambles, the lies just rolling off his tongue.
"Son, if you're worries about offending us--," your dad tries to deescalate but Junhyeon continues.
“I don’t even look at her, sir!"
“You don’t look at her?” Your dad repeats, brows furrowed concernedly as he glances at you.
Junhyeon shakes his head furiously. “I respect your daughter far too much to taint her with my gaze, SIR!"
“Junhyeon—," you try again.
“I only plan to look at her for the first time on our wedding day!”
One last time, you try, “Hyeonni—.”
“Hyeonni!?” Junhyeon’s eyes bug out of his head incredulously, his voice lowering to a whisper. “Are you crazy!? Your dad could kill me with his bare hands.”
Your dad looks down at his hands with a frown as he freezes in the middle of cutting his steak.
“He’s literally holding a knife!” Junhyeon exclaims, giving up on his piss poor attempt to be discreet. “(Y/N), I know you want me, but you can’t have me if I’m dead!”
Suddenly, your dad begins to laugh heartily-- something you've only heard about a handful of times in your life. “Where did you find this guy, peanut? He’s got quite the sense of humor.”
"He does. Doesn't he?" You agree tersely, glaring at your boyfriend.
Your dad places his fork and knife down, announcing decisively: "I like him."
Your eyes widen in surprise as Junhyeon stares back at your father, equally stunned. "You do?"
"You do!?" Junhyeon repeats hopefully, clasping his hands together as if he's praying for it to be true.
Your dad picks his fork and knife back up, continuing to cut into his steak. "He's a little odd, but I think he really likes you... In his own way."
Junhyeon nods enthusiastically. "I do! I really do!"
You smile at him, biting your lip as you look at the sweet, considerate, and absolutely insane boy sitting next to you.
"I really like him, too."
~
Junhyeon flops down on the bed, arms above his head as he smiles happily to himself.
The night had passed by fairly smoothly after that-- your parents patting you on the back lovingly and congratulating you on finding such a good match for yourself.
"That was awesome," Junhyeon says with a sigh. "I don't know what you were so worried about!"
You chew your cheek as you grin, suppressing the urge to smack him. "You wouldn't even kiss me, you were so worried," he says, sitting up and looking around with his eyebrows raised as if he's checking that no one else is in the room. Finally, he gazes back up at you with a shrug.
"Wanna make out?"

Your dad shoots you a concerned look as you reach up and pry your boyfriend's hand from his forehead. "Dad, this is Junhyeon."
"Junhyeon, huh?" Your dad nods thoughtfully. "I had a buddy in the service named Junhyeon."
Your boyfriend grins and you can tell he's revving up for a joke. "Is he handsome, too? I wouldn't want you to get us mixed up."
"He's dead," your dad announces dryly.
Your bag drops from Junhyeon's shoulder to the ground as shock takes over his whole body.
Your dad snorts. "I'm just messing with ya, kid. Come on in; your mother's setting the table."
Shaking your head hopelessly, you finally step past your dad through the door and into the house. When you realize Junhyeon isn't following you, you turn around to see what the hold up is.
"Junhyeon?" You begin to question before you see your boyfriend on the ground in a full bow in front of your father.
"Thank you for letting me into your home, sir. I appreciate so deeply your hospitality and kindness," Junhyeon pleads as you walk back over to him and pull him up by the neck of his t-shirt.
"Let's go," you say exasperatedly, dragging him through the front door and into your house. Your mom walks out from the kitchen into the living room, smiling at you.
"Hi, peanut," she greets softly, giving you a pat on the cheek before turning to your boyfriend. "It's nice to meet you, Junhyeon."
Junhyeon nods respectfully at your mom, whose hair is tied up in a tight bun with her rectangular framed glasses sitting towards the end of her nose. A research librarian, your mom was quiet and caring by nature-- but she valued discipline and quiet just as much as your dad while you were growing up.
"You kids can drop your things off upstairs and freshen up before we eat," your mom directs. "There's clean sheets on the guest room to the right."
Junhyeon's eyes bug incredulously. "We--... You want us to sleep in the same room!?"
Your mom glances at you. "Is that a problem?"
Junhyeon nods vigorously, checking over his shoulder to see your dad sitting in the arm chair behind you. "We won't be sharing a bed until we're married!"
You grab your boyfriend's sleeve, pulling him towards the stairs and up to the guest room-- shutting the door quickly behind you.
"Baby, what the hell are you doing?" You ask, watching as Junhyeon sits down on the bed quite cautiously.
"I--... I don't know," he says, shaking his head in disbelief. "I'm so scared."
You can't help but laugh at your boyfriend's complete attitude change. In the car he couldn't shut up about how good he is with parents; how his friends' dads always adore him more than their own sons...
And now, here he is: head in his hands on the verge of combustion from terror.
"I know they can come off a little intimidating at first," you soothe, walking over to Junhyeon. He rests his head on your stomach and you run your fingers through his hair soothingly. "But I promise their bite isn't nearly as bad as their bark."
"He's so big," Junhyeon whispers. "How does he even fit through the door?"
"Well, they actually had custom doorframes built in this new house..." You trail off when you see him looking up at you with a worry you'd never really seen on him before. "Hyeonni, it's going to be absolutely fine. Didn't you say you were excited to meet the people who made me who I am?"
Junhyeon laughs sadly. "But you're so... I mean, you're..."
"Fun? Light-hearted? Whimsical? Care-free?" You suggest, Junhyeon nodding enthusiastically in response.
"Exactly!" He agrees, eyes widening as he makes a clarification. "Not that there's anything wrong with them or anything! You're just really different, is all."
“I actually evolved more in response to my upbringing," you say with a sigh. "Not in accordance with it."
Junhyeon puckers his lips cutely and you lean down to kiss him. He wraps his arms around your waist tightly, deepening the kiss.
"Two minutes!" Your mom calls up the stairs, causing Junhyeon to jump back up to attention-- almost knocking you over in the process. He catches you quickly with one arm and spins you around, placing you down firmly in the spot he was just sitting.
"Trying to steal my innocence," he shames, clicking his tongue and shaking his head disapprovingly as he makes his way to the bathroom. "It's like you want your dad to bury me in the backyard."

You watch as Junhyeon takes very careful, calculated bites of his steak; cutting respectfully with the knife and fork provided to him. Usually he'd just shove the meat in his face and nearly swallow it whole.
"I heard you were thinking of moving in together," your mom says, smiling politely at the two of you.
Junhyeon blinks nervously. "No, no. Me and (Y/N)? No. No way. Absolutely not."
"Oh," your mom replies in surprise. "(Y/N) told us that--."
Junhyeon interrupts: "(Y/N) is an evil seducer and I am but a mere victim."
Your dad chokes on his water.
"Junhyeon," you try to intercept to no avail.
"We will not be moving in together. We don't have any physical contact-- not even platonically. This is actually the first time I've seen them in a month," your panicked boyfriend rambles, the lies just rolling off his tongue.
"Son, if you're worries about offending us--," your dad tries to deescalate but Junhyeon continues.
“I don’t even look at them, sir!"
“You don’t look at them?” Your dad repeats, brows furrowed concernedly as he glances at you.
Junhyeon shakes his head furiously. “I respect your child far too much to taint them with my gaze, SIR!"
“Junhyeon—," you try again.
“I only plan to look at them for the first time on our wedding day!”
One last time, you try, “Hyeonni—.”
“Hyeonni!?” Junhyeon’s eyes bug out of his head incredulously, his voice lowering to a whisper. “Are you crazy!? Your dad could kill me with his bare hands.”
Your dad looks down at his hands with a frown as he freezes in the middle of cutting his steak.
“He’s literally holding a knife!” Junhyeon exclaims, giving up on his piss poor attempt to be discreet. “(Y/N), I know you want me, but you can’t have me if I’m dead!”
Suddenly, your dad begins to laugh heartily-- something you've only heard about a handful of times in your life. “Where did you find this guy, peanut? He’s got quite the sense of humor.”
"He does. Doesn't he?" You agree tersely, glaring at your boyfriend.
Your dad places his fork and knife down, announcing decisively: "I like him."
Your eyes widen in surprise as Junhyeon stares back at your father, equally stunned. "You do?"
"You do!?" Junhyeon repeats hopefully, clasping his hands together as if he's praying for it to be true.
Your dad picks his fork and knife back up, continuing to cut into his steak. "He's a little odd, but I think he really likes you... In his own way."
Junhyeon nods enthusiastically. "I do! I really do!"
You smile at him, biting your lip as you look at the sweet, considerate, and absolutely insane boy sitting next to you.
"I really like him, too."
~
Junhyeon flops down on the bed, arms above his head as he smiles happily to himself.
The night had passed by fairly smoothly after that-- your parents patting you on the back lovingly and congratulating you on finding such a good match for yourself.
"That was awesome," Junhyeon says with a sigh. "I don't know what you were so worried about!"
You chew your cheek as you grin, suppressing the urge to smack him. "You wouldn't even kiss me, you were so worried," he says, sitting up and looking around with his eyebrows raised as if he's checking that no one else is in the room. Finally, he gazes back up at you with a shrug.
"Wanna make out?"
