I was tagged by @bruisesandbitemarks, thank you 💕

1. Are you named after anyone?

Originially, yes, my mum got my deadname from a book, but uh. I don’t use that anymore. “Kaj” actually comes from an old OC of mine (don’t judge!) and I took my middle name from Sebastian Moran.

2. When was the last time you cried?

No clue. I cry pretty rarely and try my best to block it out immediately afterwards 🤷‍♂️

3. Do you have kids?

Nope. And will never have any, at least not biologically.

4. Do you use sarcasm?

Jup. But apparently in a weird way because people often don’t catch it.

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

I try not to notice people. (No, seriously, I work customer service, I usually don’t look people in the face and I usually have forgotten everything about how they looked etc two seconds after they left.)

6. What's your eye color?

I like to pretend it’s this kind of greyish army green.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

hmmm both, depends on the movie and my mood.

8. Any special talents?

My brother says it’s “just whipping up some food” from what’s in the pantry anyway.

9. Where were you born?

Northern Germany, between Hamburg and Sylt, and that’s how specific I’ll get here.

10. What are your hobbies?

Writing, reading, I have actually come to enjoy cooking and baking a whole lot, and I’m trying to go swimming again more regularly.

11. Do you have any pets?

Nope!

12. What sports do you/have you played?

I used to fence, for like, eight years. Would like to take it up again, but, uh, not really interested in paying 20€ per month for one training session per week I might not even be able to attend regularly because of work/class.

13. How tall are you?

~1,73m, I think.

14. Favorite subject in school?

History, english depending on the teacher, and I really liked chemistry the two years I had it.

15. Dream job?

...author. No idea if that will ever work out. I keep telling my family I wanna work in a publishing house, just so they stop buggering me about “what do you do with a degree in slavic studies anyway???”

i have no clue who’s been tagged and who hasn’t, I’m just tagging @crazy-walls, @bistdueinbaum, @takealookintheback and @lesen-schreiben-bruchrechnen. If you want.

under the mistletoe

pairing: kim jiwoong x fem!reader

genre: best friends to lovers

in which: you and jiwoong both try to catch each other under the mistletoe

warnings !! - lowercase intended, kisses, wine

series masterlist !!

you and jiwoong met in university, you both studied the same major and quickly became friends. you often hung out with each other which caused the two of you to have a strong bond despite knowing one another for only a few years.

it would be a lie to say that jiwoong hasn't made you feel anything towards him in those few years. he was an attractive man with a great personality which honestly checked all the boxes. he always put you first and made sure you were okay and comfortable in any situation he could. he truly was all you could ever ask for and more.

so this year you decided to do something about your feelings for him.

you had the perfect plan. both of you decided to spend christmas together at your apartment so you made sure to buy a hefty supply of mistletoe and try to stand under it with him.

you ordered the mistletoe and carefully planted it at practically every doorway of your apartment before he arrived at your place.

you managed to set up a gorgeous dinner for the both of you in your small cosy apartment, candlelight beings the only source of light along with your fairy lights and the set table on which stood a beautiful bouquet, and you hoped that he would appreciate what you have organized. you got ready and perfected the flowers on the table.

just as you were away to reach for the mulled wine which just finished heating on the stove you heard a knock.

"come in!" you shouted from the kitchen. you heard the door open and soon jiwoong walked into your kitchen in a white dress shirt and black slacks, a matching blazer hung from his shoulder. in his hands a small gift bag which he left under the tree next to your gift for him before walking over to you.

you felt the butterflies in your stomach as you turned off the stove and embraced him.

"merry christmas ji," you said into the embrace

"same to you y/n. you look amazing," he unwrapped himself from you and moved to help you with the wine claiming he doesn't want you to burn yourself while handling the hot beverage.

after pouring the wine into glasses he picked them up, headed over to the table and placed them down.

"sit, i'll get the food" he said with a warm smile and moved to pull out your seat.

"no, it's okay. you're my guest, i should be serving you, not the other way around." you waved your hands frantically but he just walked towards you with a smile.

"you’re so cute” he whispered under his breath “let's go together then, yeah?" he said and grabbed your hand in his. it was soft and warm and embraced your own so perfectly.

you were too occupied with the feeling of his hand in yours that you forgot to mention the small sprig of mistletoe above the kitchen door. he grabbed some of the food that was layed out on the counter while you took what was left back to the table.

the two of you sat down and started to eat.

"this tastes increduble y/n" he said as he took a bite of the food you prepared.

"thank you ji," you felt yourself blush slightly and were thankful for the the limited light that was iluminating your face.

“you know” he started “ i think we should get to the gifts soon. i cant wait for you to see what i got you” he smiled and took another bite of food.

“i think so too” you said and took a sip of the warm wine.

you both finished off the rest of the food and after some other conversations and laughter jiwoong got up to use the bathroom.

“i’ll be back in one second, go wait by the tree” he said softly. you nodded and went over to the sofa before you remembered that’s you had a few christmas snacks and cookies ready for later on (now) so you left the glasses of wine on the coffee table and got up to go to the kitchen.

just as you stepped foot in the kitchen and started picking out the snacks jiwoong left the bathroom. he saw that the dishes were still left out on the table and decided to take them in for you. so, being the amazing person he is, he grabbed the dishes and headed towards the kitchen.

as you were leaving the kitchen, arms full of snacks, jiwoong was walking in with the dishes from the table. you bumped into him seeing as you didn’t notice him due to your full arms.

“i’m so sorry! i didn’t see you” you said quickly. you notice a bit of icing that was left on his shirt from one of the cookies you were taking through. “oh no your shirt! wait here” you ran back to the kitchen and left the snacks on the counter. you grab a cloth and wet it under the tap before rushing back over to jiwoong. you take the dishes from him and put them on the counter. “i’m sorry ji i didn’t mean to ruin your shirt” you say as you start wiping at the bright green stain.

“hey it’s okay” he said and grabbed your wrist. you looked up at him and started into his shining eyes. he looked back into your eyes before his eyes flickered to your lips. before you could say anything he looked up, you followed after him and saw the small sprig of mistletoe you planted on the doorway hours prior.

“jiwoong..” as you looked back down you noticed he was already staring at you. “i- we don’t have t-“ you were cut off by him pressing his lips against yours so softly you thought you were imagining it and yet you pressed your lips back to his just seconds later with so much force and passion all he could do was wrap one arm around your waist and bring his hand to cup your face. it was as if time had stopped and sped up at the same time. you wanted to stay in this moment forever and yet you both pulled away breathless and with glossy lips.

“i guess my gift to you was pointless” he says. you give him a confused look before he laughs and pulls you over to the christmas tree. he picks up the small gift bag and pulls out a small sprig of mistletoe while looking at you with a wide smile.

“you are such a dork” you said with a laugh while taking the mistletoe from him.

“yeah but i’m your dork” he said “if you’ll have me of course”

“hmm” you pretend to think before holding the mistletoe above the two of you. “i will” you said and pulled him into another kiss which had both of you smiling into it. you were sure that mistletoe will become a new, meaningful tradition for the both of you.
