━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“wow.”
your hand sheepishly scratched the back of your neck out of nervousness as yoohyeon complimented you, still feeling awkward about this. out of all people, yoohyeon had to pick you as one of her muses for her final project: your junior yeri, yoohyeon’s boyfriend minhyun, and sana from language studies, and four others from several departments whom you’ve only met at lunch earlier today.
“y’know, i might just as well perform your thesis.” you said as you turn from side to side to check one of the beautiful gowns she made, running your hand on the material that she used. she may be a workaholic, but she knew when to get things done. who would’ve known she would be able to design something so pleasing to the eyes.
the gown was a tube type; a bit loose yet flowy, boosting up your busts a little, and a slit down your left thigh. the colour would be a favourite: diamond silver with hints of very pale pink on the top and blue that the slid down to the bottom. lastly, intricate details of jewelry, lace, and flowers lined on it almost all over.
what made you awkward and uncomfortable to be wearing it was the fact that it was almost see through- so much that you felt like your body could be seen but not quite. it was confusing to explain it that you asked yeri to wear it instead at one point.
“bestie be careful with the deets! it’s my best work yet!” yoohyeon held your hand playfully but stopped when she saw your face pout. “hey y/n, what’s wrong?”
yeri and sana looked back to check on you as well. you looked up before making eye contact with yoohyeon, your eye twitched so evidently with nervousness that she knew she had to scram. you lifted your hands and pinched her cheeks, saying in gritted teeth. “i can’t go out in this tonight! i’m too exposed.”
yoohyeon squealed and yet let out a giggle, holding your slightly shaking wrists to stop you from squeezing her cheeks. “y/n, you look so, so beautiful. i wish you could see it because you are.” she turned to yeri and sana. “right, girls?”
sana hugged you from the back. “yes she is. you know even though i don’t stay here at the dorms anymore i know for a fact that you- y/n, have the best face without makeup. what much more if you actually wore some?”
you pulled a face so ugly that yeri messed up your hair, laughing. “yeah y/n.. except, just don’t do that.”
they swung you to the vanity and brought out a makeup palette and curler to get going. “i wonder just how many hearts will be swayed tonight.” yoohyeon grinned and you just held your breath hoping you could get through the night in one piece.
johnny stood by the backstage of the university outdoor hall, peeking out from the side to see people filling up the seats and bleachers. the lights slightly dimmed while the main focus was the walkway.
“three out of three.” he told himself. that was the number of times he was asked to model for the clothes his seniors made before they graduated. he was glad he didn’t have to do it this year, taeyong taking his place instead.
also he wouldn’t call it a blunder to model years before, but rather flattering because at least he had another image he could be besides being called a fathe-
his phone rang, disrupting his circle of thoughts. “yeah?”
“dude where are you?” jungwoo shouted from the other line, making johnny squeeze his face a little at the volume. “you’re needed by seulgi noona for the photography, she says you got the main camera.”
“yup i’ll be right there.” he said when he put his phone in his pocket, feeling a tiny tug from his jeans. “hey little buddy. sorry.. was i long?”
youngmin just patted his cheeks and smiled when johnny picked him up, who gave him blows of raspberries before meeting the others. he had to bring him along because his parents were back in america for his aunt’s birthday and no one was there to look after him.
“aww our little youngminnie bean is here for the night. auntie seulgi will be watching you while your dad goes for his rounds to take photos.” seulgi carried the almost two year old. “aw he really looks like you, john. same lips.”
johnny just laughed and his heart melted when youngmin’s lips started to quiver. “i’ll be back, okay? don’t give auntie here a hard time.”
“aren’t we going to have fun?” she patted the baby’s bum to stop him from crying, shaking the little toy rattle for him to play with while johnny took his leave. her attention swifted when she heard familiar voices of her juniors. “ah yoohyeon! how’s the preparations going?”
“superb, my last model finally didn’t chicken out.” she giggled, turning her head to youngmin. “is this.. ? johnny’s son? he’s grown so big now.”
“yeah he told me to keep an eye on him for a bit.” seulgi combed his hair back while she shortly carressed his cheeks, “so yeah, uh, your last model is y/n?”
yoohyeon nodded and it made her smile, “yes and she’s stunning.”
“great. she’s perfect for the design you whipped up.” her expression changed before looking around. “how is she though? she coping up well lately?”
“i can’t really say, she’ll open up when she’s ready.”
backstage, you stood beside sana and she noticed you were having the nervous jitters, she held your hand and squeezed them. “you’ll be fine. we’re queued to be the last ones out.”
“that is why i’m nervous, yoohyeon had to be the top student.” you faked cry and sana just poked your nose. “.. but thank you.”
outside at the seating area, kun, johnny, and mark lee sat together, the younger one writing notes for the article that the newspaper club would be featuring by the end of the month. johnny was the assigned photographer, former runway model. and kun being known as an all rounder, was in charge of the music being played but left it to the juniors so he was just sitting pretty.
“you think jungwoo would do good for his thesis? i’m kinda nervous on what he’d put out.” kun joked, making johnny laugh as he set the camera ready.
“trust me i think taeyong would save his ass from failing, i just don’t know how he managed to be at the dean’s list despite his grades, and retaking quizzes.” johnny said, taking some sample shots before turning to mark. “hey kid, mind if you swap places with me? i’ll be closer to the stage.” pointing to the camera he was holding.
“sure.” mark took his belongings, “wait- you’re johnny suh. the one with the ki-“ he paused when kun gestured the younger one stop the convo, knowing well that johnny didn’t want any attention for not being the one on the runway. “sorry.”
johnny raised his brow and smiled as he sat down, finding the younger one quite amusing. freshman, probably. his arm accidentally elbowed the person to his left, and muttered a ‘sorry’. his eyes met with the guy so familiar he wished he didn’t ask for a swap.
choi seungcheol just nodded, accepting his apology. johnny for sure didn’t want his mood to be ruined just by his batchmate’s presence, because in the first place, there was nothing going on between you and the guy. but johnny felt he was being challenged, and decided to just let the night pass and finish the work he was required to do.
the lights dimmed down, indicating the fashion show was about to start. he looked through the viewfinder taking snapshots of student models. jungwoo’s models and designs were showcased first, making yuta and johnny chuckle that they teased him for not having higher grades. the younger one rebutted that he only went first because people found out taeyong was modelling.
other works came out and being so indulged with fashion himself, johnny actually found the clothes on the runway quite boring though applauses were heard on each outfit shown said differently. well, it wasn’t up to his standards. the people who walked weren’t even walking right.
“when will something actually get your attention?” kun whispered to him, noticing him lowkey sighing quite a few times.
johnny just shrugged, not so sure himself.
“the final designs of the fashion show will be out in a bit! please welcome kim yoohyeon and her models!” the crowd cheered at the mention of her name, making sana, yeri, and yourself flick your heads at her. she only waved and gave you all a thumbs up.
you coughed and kind of panicked. you were the last one out but questioned why you were this nervous. you had these habits when you did so, not knowing until yoohyeon pointed them out. your neck slightly tilted, breathing short airs in and out, and your fingers crumble themselves into a fist. it was slow but enough to know you were entering anxiety.
however tonight was no exception for you to flop. yoohyeon had her reason to why she chose you for her final design. so you firmly decided to just suck it up and do your best because if anything, the last thing you want to do is to disappoint your best friend. she helped you so much during the darkest time of your life. and by golly, she still was.
with the thought of that, you were so proud of her nonetheless. she was one of the first people in your year to be graduating first since she skipped a year due to her talent. even flying to paris for an exchange programme.
yoohyeon cued for you to stand by, she gave you a smile that made you want to tear up. you smiled back and gave her flying kiss.
it was a minute interval, you had to wait for minhyun to come back and wait a little more before you go out. people were anticipating, knowing there should be eight models in total. and when you finally went out on the runway, johnny found himself mesmerised by you, almost forgetting to take a photo.
he wasn’t the only one in starstruck. he knew that the person to his left was also attentive to you, and in his peripheral vision, seungcheol’s mouth was left agape.
so johnny’s shaky brown orb found itself looking through the viewfinder once again. even though he wasn’t snapping a photo, he felt like he could see you clearer than anyone else in the room. and with that, he felt like he had an upperhand to the other guy.
you were a natural and he knew that might’ve been your first time modelling given the fact you were so nervous.
again he questioned himself just how could someone be so attractive. but, just like he noticed back at the dean’s camp last week, he noticed your eyes were tired despite being really stunning, beautiful.
the lights dimmed slowly and you almost slipped out a curse because it was something yoohyeon never told you about this segment of your walk. you looked around in relief that it wasn’t all dark. like something out of a fairytale, your gown started to light up from your chest downwards.
it was rare to see lights on the style of your dress, only seeing it on ball gowns and that made everyone gasp and clap louder. and because the gown was a pink and blue hue, the light made a combination of a very light lilac at the middle. the gems and sequins made it sparkle and that made you smile.
you felt like a princess and started to spin a little, even though it wasn’t required. but this was a chance that needed to be taken.
johnny smirked and took more photos, this was a first in the university, a gown lit up made by a graduate student.
“looks like we have a winning thesis.” mark wrote notes on his notepad, he elbowed his senior. “johnny sunbaenim, is okay for you to take good ones? we need a photo to feature for the university article, please.”
johnny let out a sniffle, “alright, order the sunbae to do things.”
“sorry, i didn’t mean-”
“since the hoobae said so, i will do it. he asked nicely.” mark hearing that made him feel at ease, one of the first people to not see him as a let down for being to be a writer/ author.
“y-yeah, thank you.”
once yoohyeon came out and walked one last time along with you and the others, confetti blasted from the ceiling, letting everyone know the show’s over. you walked backstage and had yourself changed, though makeup was still on, yoohyeon appeared and hugged you ever so tightly.
“sorry for not telling you about the surprise.” she cupped your cheek, “i know how the dark frightens you still but know that i’m always here for you. besides your whole concept is a reflection of our friendship.” her voice softened almost to a whisper. “you were with me in my darkest of times, like you’re the light.. ah i don’t want to tear up.”
you eyes welled a little, knowing that this thesis was something she would bring with her before she leaves for paris to continue her studies and internship next month. “likewise for me sis, you’re still looking out for me, and i’m still the same y/n.”
“don’t be, healing takes time. you know that. i’m older than you so i can tell you off whenever i want.” she hugged you and tried to change the topic by taking a lot of selfies and portraits before you both actually cry.
johnny was standing by the opened door and the curtain that was between you and him, not meaning to eavesdrop but he had to collect his backpack. healing? is she hurt? he shook his head and knocked.
“sorry, i need to collect a few things.” johnny pressed his lips to a small awkward smile, “hi, uh. you both did amazing tonight.”
“johnny! hi, long time no see.” yoohyeon gave him a side hug, “thank you-“ she looked at you and johnny’s flushed expressions. it was silent and something clicked in her that brough her into a smirk. something happened here, y/n, you obvious one.
your eyes looked elsewhere but to johnny, however that would be rude for you not to even talk to him. it had been a week since you both actually talked. “thanks, johnny. how are you?”
“busy with my classes among other things.” johnny scratched the back of his head. “listen, at the camp i forgot ask for your number. just wondering, when would be okay for you to hang out?”
yoohyeon nudged you because you weren’t answering, “y/n.. stop just staring at him. you’re making him wait.”
yeri stood by in front of this exchange, giggling as she took her items with her. “oh what is this? high school? you know there’s a carnival-”
jungwoo covered her mouth, not wanting her to ruin it for johnny, “anyway johnny hyung, we’ll see you back at the apartment!“
yoohyeon saw that as her way out knowing that she had forgotten plans after, “ah y/n, minhyun told me to meet him at the mall, i’ll see you at home, ok?”
you nodded at the commotion, the once noisy room became quiet in an instant. you smirked at johnny, “sorry i was in trance. um, anyway hi. so.. what’s this thing about a carnival?”
johnny laughed awkwardly, “y-yeah it’s the prize we won as champions at the dean’s listers camp last week. i got two tickets so i was wondering if you’d like to come with me.”
“hm carnival, i haven’t been there for so long. when do you want to go?”
“last day’s tomorrow and i got no one to go with.”
this time you laughed awkwardly, “so i guess i have to say yes?”
“that’s pretty much the plan.”
you crossed your arms, curling your tongue in your mouth, “sneaky, smooth.. but it’s giving the last minute guy.”
johnny laughed, his eye dimples showing. what you said was unexpected. “maybe because i save the best for last?” referring to the fashion show tonight, referring to you.
your heart thumped, which was unneccessary at this point. but this is johnny, the guy who had your mind occupied for the past week. “okay, i’ll see you tomorrow before lunch at the train station?”
“sure thing.”
“great. i’ll take my leave then, it’s nice seeing you. i know we’ve been busy after the camp. have a good night, johnny.” you waved, and johnny hitched a breath at the sight of you.
ah her phone number.
“y/n!” he covered his mouth because of his accidental loud voice. “uh, can i have your phone number?”
“calm down big guy, afraid to lose me?” you teased him but your heart was still beating repeatedly, giving him your phone number then leaving to rest for the night.
johnny held his chest, his heart hadn’t felt this a long while. he felt like a little boy who finally had a play date that seulgi caught him smiling like an idiot.
“hey dorkface, you finally can use your carnival tickets. good on you, for bringing y/n.”
she handed him youngmin, who already fast asleep and stretched. johnny licked his lips, trying to bring up something about you that he had heard earlier. “seulgi, you know y/n, right?”
seulgi looked at him while she tidied up her own belongings. “yeah, we had the same minors last year. what about her?”
johnny hesitated to ask further but he couldn’t help but be curious. “is she okay? i noticed that she looks tired often behind all that smiley aura she usually shows.”
he didn’t receive an answer immediately, seulgi had to think about it. though she knew it was something serious just about vaguely, she wasn’t in any position to share anything. “i can’t really speak for her because it’s personal. i don’t know the full details but if you want to know you need to gain her trust. that’s all i can say.”
“alright, thank you.” he slung his backpack behind his shoulder as he carried the already sleeping youngmin, shaking him a little. “also for this.”
he for sure want to get to know you more.
—
seungcheol looked at his phone, lip biting at the group photo of the crimson commanders at the camp. his smile was evident when you and him stood next to each other, arms crossed while laughing at other players.
jeonghan rolled his eyes and nudged joshua to take a look at their friend, the latter one laughed while chewing and talking, “dude stop smiling like that, it’s creepy.”
“yeah dude, you’re such a simp for her lately.” jeonghan shook his head, “are you sure she’s the one you’ve been looking for all this time?”
“oh yeah definitely, she’s the one.” seungcheol sat up from his bed, stretching his arms before they become numb. “do you think she remembers?”
joshua raised his brow, “you mean that night?”
jeonghan’s eyes widened, “don’t tell me you’re gonna tell her what happened. i don’t think she even knows or remembers anything about you.”
“that’s why it wasn’t a coincidence that i ran into her at the dean’s camp. we were meant to meet again.” seungcheol clicked on his phone once more, “and she might be the one i was matched with here on love click.”
“desperate guy called for desperate measures. you really are a creep, cheol.” jeonghan threw a basketball at him. “isn’t that app under construction at the moment? whoever created that sucks.”
“you’re just jealous because you weren’t matched with anyone, and that you got friendzoned by sowon.” joshua teased him, earning him a glare from the blonde haired guy.
“guys, i’ll make her remember. she can’t escape from this. though i do have an obstacle.” he tossed the ball back to jeonghan, “you know that guy johnny? from psychology? or was it medicine?”
“the one with the baby?” jeonghan spun the ball on his finger, “yeah he was in my biology class in year one. dude sure knows how to multi-task.”
“what about johnny?” joshua continued to eat, but still listening to the conversation.
seungcheol’s brows furrowed a little, “i don’t like the vibe i get from him for some reason. feels like he’s just going to be using her.” his friends questioned him how he was so sure about it and he just shrugged, “heard the guy has anger issues though, can’t seem to control his fits.”
“and where did you hear that from?” jeonghan threw the ball to joshua, who at this point nearly dropped his bottle of water.
“minji noona. she’s my maternal cousin.”
—
the day was sunny and bright, but not too much that it made your skin burn from the heat. the clouds got your back from covering the sun rays from peeking. today was exceptionally something you looked forward to, yoohyeon joking that it would be your first date ever.
and you were so nevous, but..
.. you wouldn’t call it a date though..would you? because as you looked at yourself at the reflection from a nearby shop window, you were all dolled up.
a floral dress in white, paired with your favourite sneakers. your hair done in a half do, slightly styled, and just a very light make up. “this should be fine, right?”your phone rung to see johnny’s caller ID appearing on your screen. immediately answering. “hello?”
johnny could feel his cheeks heat up, your voice made him nervous for today. his first hangout with you. he felt like he was going out for the first time. “hi, y/n. i’ll be there soon, did you wait long?”
you stayed silent for a bit, he sounded really nice over the phone. deep and raspy. “um not really, i just arrived like two minutes ago.”
liar, you arrived half an hour ago.
johnny chuckled, sighing a relief. “phew, that’s good. i had to do other things so i was afraid i’ll miss our meetup time.” you heard a little shuffle, “i’m about to exit and headed for the landmark clock tower.”
“okay, see you.”
you looked at your shoes, lips pressing into a line. the guy you were matched with in loveclick only sent you a message or two in a week, just sending stickers. you thought maybe he just wasn’t interested at all. so you didn’t bother to message him back.
in all honesty, you were happy right now. someone asking you out in all the years you’ve even existed. even though you did say you’d change for the better, no one really ever went out of your way to ask you out.
so johnny being the first one to do so made it all special.
“y/n!” you heard him calling your name, seeing his figure approaching closer under the bright sun that you needed to place your hand to see clearly.
your slightly squinted eyes became relaxed when johnny was already in front of you, carrying a toddler whom you recognised. “hey y/n, sorry i had to bring this little guy with me. meet suh youngmin, a year and 11 months.”
he had a son.
“h-hi, guys.” you kept staring at the little boy.
johnny noticed your confusion and amazement at the situation. “was it a jumpscare that i brought a baby? hope it didn’t ruin our date.”
you shook your head, “no. no, i’m completely fine with it. hi there, youngmin.”
youngmin looked at you while he had his dummy on, suddenly shrieking into a smile and almost dropping his dummy that johnny caught it in time despite him carrying the toddler in one arm. “whoa hey, easy there bud. why are you hyper all of a sudden? you weren’t like this on the train.”
his little arms stretched out to you, wanting you to carry him instead. so you did, and the little babe wrapped his arms around your neck. “i guess you like me, huh?”
johnny chucked, “y-yeah, oddly. he rarely goes to anyone for the first time. usually it takes three or more meetings.”
you smiled and patted youngmin’s back. “well i’m honoured, youngmin. shall we go to the ticket kiosk?” you walked ahead because youngmin was already pointing at the balloons.
johnny shielded his eyes, the noontime sun rays glaring at him. once his vision was adjusted and he jogged up just behind you, he had to stop in his tracks when the scene in front of him was something familiar, all too familiar.
then he realised you were the silhouette he encountered ages ago at kahi’s son’s party. his heart beated like crazy once again, maybe that’s why youngmin knew you in an instant.
“johnny?” you called him when you gave the admission bands, “let’s go have lunch first.” you smiled and held youngmin’s hand, “i’m kinda hungry.”
johnny was brushed out of his deep thoughts, “yeah, let’s eat. youngmin likes lasagna. are you okay with it?” your eyes lit up and he honestly thought it was adorable.
“no way, i was craving for lasagna!” you jumped a little and youngmin let out a bubbly giggle. “we’re best friends now. aren’t we, youngmin?” youngmin just put his hands on your cheeks, speaking gibberish under his dummy.
the carnival was packed with a lot of people, slowly filling the place with unbridled joy and laughter. you didn’t remember how long it was since you last went here. probably when you were five? it was when everything was still in place, when everything was still peaceful. it felt warm to witness the busy movement, colourful scenery, and full of.. families.
your attention was broken by youngmin who handed you a cutlery. you let out a gasp that he held a knife.
“oh. give it to me.” you said firmly, “you’re not too big yet to handle big people things.”
johnny was impressed how you handled youngmin. you sounded firm but gentle, your tone not heavy nor scary. just alright for the kid’s liking. “you’re pretty good at this, y/n.”
you shortly looked at him then back to youngmin, giving him a kid spoon to play with instead. “really? i’m still struggling and nervous sometimes. but i get by. i take ECE, you know?”
“ahh,” johnny crossed his arms, “early childhood education? no wonder.”
“i must’ve forgot to mention. did i pass the vibe check?” you teased.
“oh yeah definitely, on youngmin’s book.” johnny chuckled, “he really likes you.”
“maybe because i already ran into this little bear.” you poked youngmin’s nose. “at kahi’s son’s party. i’m the godmother.”
bingo.
“that’s no coincidence.” johnny sat forward, his hands interlocking. “noah’s my godson as well, shame we didn’t run into each other after all this time.”
“shame you left youngmin all alone under the dessert table.” you remembered, giggling softly when johnny’s ware ears slowly turned red. “i wondered who the responsible father was.”
“my fault, teacher y/n.” he playfully raised his arms in defeat. “but not my fault that i was surrounded by a lot of mothers and other ladies’ attentions. say, why weren’t you part of the circle?”
you smirked, this guy.. “maybe because youngmin here caught my attention the most.”
“that i can’t compete with.” johnny smiled, “he’s irresistible.”
“exactly.” you pointed at him as your order was being called by the staff. “oh there goes our order, i’ll go pick it up.”
johnny watched your back when you went to get the food tray. his heart warmed up once again today. talking with you was easy, it was like conversing with an old friend. one of the reasons why he wanted to hang out with you wasn’t because his friends pushed him to. it wasn’t because he wanted to jump into a new relationship straight away.
it was because of youngmin. he needed a mother figure, a role that his ex-girlfriend couldn’t keep and maintain. it had been so long since youngmin had interacted with someone so closely who was like a mother.
not that he expected you to be one, but you were such a natural. and seeing how youngmin opened himself up so relaxed and early with you felt like an elephant was lifted off of his shoulders.
“do you like auntie y/n? you seem to like her a lot little one, and you just met her recently.” he patted youngmin’s head as he drank water and he couldn’t keep himself from blushing on what the young one said after.
“mama.”
johnny coughed, grabbing a piece of tissue just below his cutlery. earning startled yet amused looks from other customers, he bowed his head in apology in return.
“here’s our lasagna, sides. and drinks.” you said brightly, and the scene in front of you made your heart warm: johnny coughing and youngmin giggling on the side. “seemed like youngmin said a funny joke that made you cough on your water.”
“oh you bet he did.” johnny wiped his mouth clean.
you sat down, grinning as you passed their food to them, “care to share?”
as if on cue, youngmin was about to blurt out ‘mama’ when johnny covered his mouth with a dummy. “that’s classified.”
you feigned a gasp, “jokes aren’t secrets, youngmin. what has your dad been teaching you?”
“let’s just eat, okay?” johnny held his cutlery, trying to change subject when youngmin held his hands together. for a toddler, this one knew table manners? and it shocked you that it made you giggle.
johnny chuckled, “alright alright, we have to say grace. my mom’s been teaching him that.”
you nodded and went with the flow, finding this whole thing very wholesome, “okay.”
the day pretty much went by quickly, playing several games and riding kid friendly rides. you’ve been staring at one certain ride since the beginning but was too shy in asking johnny because he brought youngmin along.
but johnny was sharp, he knew what you wanted and decided to take the ride with you because you did help him with minding youngmin almost the whole day. so he stopped by the kiddie pool where parents leave their kids to the staff for a bit.
“you sure leaving him there will be fine?” you asked, holding your sling pouch as you and johnny walked to the queue.
“he’ll be fine. i know one of the lady staff.” johnny reassured you, fixing his hair.
yeri took a peek from behind the column, seeing you and johnny talking very casually. “we’ll be fine, won’t we, youngmin?”
“you really had to tag me along?” taeyong dragged himself next to her, with two kids hugging his legs and one called him a prince while at it.
“well i need a second witness. in case no one believes us that those two actually went for a date.” yeri’s eye smile never leaving, so excited that her ship was starting to sail.
“yeah and made youngmin as their chaperone.” taeyong shook his head. “poor little guy.”
johnny didn’t know how long he was staring at you until you turned around and asked him to hold your bottle of water as you tied your shoelaces. he wasn’t sure how to act when it was just you and him, but he certainly didn’t want this to be any more awkward than it already was.
as you finally stood up, you dusted your dress when the person in front almost bumped into you- they had been messing around for a while now. johnny being the observant one, was quick to avoid the clash from happening by placing himself in between.
so now you found yourself leaning on johnny’s stomach, one of his hands holding your back and the other holding your forearm, this seemed familiar. “watch it.” he said sternly to the person in front. he turned to you after, “you okay?”
you hummed “mhm” and nodded quickly in response but all in your mind was:
abs, abs, abs, abs, abs..
the picture from the dodgeball game at the dean’s camp came running back to you and you felt yourself heating up.
johnny’s eyes squinted and placed his palm on your forehead.
shoot my forehead’s sweaty.
“you sure? you’re heating up.”
“i’m fine!” you flicked your head back and fake laughed to hide your embarrassment. “i’m really okay.”
johnny pulled an ‘i don’t think so grin’ but just let you off the hook ‘cause you did look fine. “okay then, teacher y/n said so.”
you held your chest and sighed, you would’ve been busted if you weren’t careful. but johnny was so cool back there that you couldn’t help but smile.
dummy he’s not your boyfriend, you thought.
after the ride was done and went to pick up youngmin at the kiddie pool, you decided to call it a day as the sun was starting to set into orange. dusk was approaching and it was better for you guys to be home by evening. johnny agreed and walked with you towards the exit.
you patted youngmin’s back as johnny carried the tired toddler. you carried the boy’s bag and johnny felt embarrassed that he needed to rely on you a lot today. he was relaxed when you told him it was alright.
when he took another glimpse of you, you were staring elsewhere and he felt you slightly shake, hand holding on his shirt. your eyes trembled a bit in fear and johnny’s brows furrowed, wondering what got you all shaken up until you mumbled.
“m-mom… d-dad…?”

Could you write a sick fiction of Boyfriend's Youngmin and Kwangmin? like, they're twins so when other gets sick, the other one gets sick too! (Keep in mind they're twins in real life too, so any romantic relationship won't be read)
Y'all I loved writing this, just the whole cuteness of twins (siblings) taking care of each other... it's fun
I also know nothing about this group, so I apologize =)
sickie(s): Kwangmin and Youngmin
Caretaker(s): Kwangmin and Youngmin
*set after the group disbanded*
Youngmin p.o.v
I woke up to my phone ringing, I was wondering who would be calling me so early. I glanced at the screen and saw my brother's name lighting up the screen. Wondering why he was calling I swiped the name to the side, "hello?"
"Hey Youngmin" I recognized the voice, "Hey Donghyun, is everything okay?" I wondered why the leader would be calling from my brother's phone. "Nothing bad happened," he assured me quickly, "but I found your brother in a practice room at the company building and he's sick"
"How sick?" I asked, getting out of bed to find a shirt. "I think he has the flu. He's feverish and he's coughing and sneezing."
"I'll be right there to pick him up."
"Thanks Min"
"Oh hyung, quick question."
"huh?"
"Why didn't you call me using your phone?" The line was quiet, "hyung?"
"I forgot I had my phone" He said, I laughed, "good job hyung" I heard in the background. "Oh be quiet diseased child" Donghyun said with a sarcastic tone. I laughed again, "Tell Kwang I'll be right there"
"thanks!" I heard my twin yell in the background, I cringed slightly when I heard him start coughing right after. I hung up the phone and went to find a hoodie for myself, then just in case I brought one for Kwangmin. I slipped my shoes on and grabbed my car keys. I made the short drive to the company building, I took out my phone and texted my brother which room are you in?
number 8, third door on the left, second floor
I know which one #8 is you dumbass I rolled my eyes at the screen, I took the elevator to the second floor. I went to the studio and pushed the door open. Kwangmin was sitting on the floor, leaning against a wall, his bag was next to him, a few used tissues were scattered around him. Donghyun was sitting across from him. "hey"
"I'm dying" Kwangmin said dramatically. "You're not dying" I said rolling my eyes at my over dramatic twin. "Thanks for babysitting" I said to Donghyun, "no problem, nice to see you guys" He said smiling as he left the practice room, "feel better Kwangmin"
"thanks hyung" Dounghyun waved and left. "Let's go" I said to my twin, he gave me a confused look, "go where?"
"back to my house"
"why?"
"because you're sick, why else" I said with an eye roll, "I'm gonna babysit you"
"gee thanks, you're a saint"
"I know, I'm amazing" I said with a smile, he rolled his eyes, "Alright, fine, let's go" I held my hand out and helped him to his feet, I noticed him sway slightly, "You okay?" I said, I held his shoulder steady. "Yeah, think I stood up to fa-hh-st- HIKtchu! EHKTchy! hhh-KTChhu" He coughed after the fit, clearly irritated by the force of it. "Bless you"
"thanks" he began picking up the used tissues from the floor, I grabbed his bag, "How long have you been sick for?"
"I don't know, I felt a bit strange last night, but assumed I was just tired, then this morning I came in to practice and about halfway through I was feeling awful, getting dizzy, felt tired, sore and achy, plus with the sneezing and coughing I was getting winded and kept loosing track of everything." He sounded frustrated, I knew he tended to get upset when he was sick, especially because he couldn't control it and it forced him to show weakness. I put my arm around him, "It's okay to be sick" I used a gentle tone with him. "I had plans for today"
"Plans can wait until you're better" I said, I squeezed his shoulder, he smiled at me, "thanks"
"No problem" I tossed his bag over my shoulder. The two of us went down the elevator and out of the building, he followed me back to my car, "you really didn't need to carry my bag"
"I know, but I wanted to"
"thanks. You're a good brother" I smiled, I knew he always got a bit shyer and more soft hearted when sick. We got into the car, I noticed him shiver a bit. "do you need a jacket? I have an extra" he glanced at me, a shy and somewhat embarrassed look on his face, "yeah, that'd be great" I reached into the backseat and gave him the jacket, "thanks" he said, he coughed, I frowned at how painful it sounded. "That cough sounds pretty bad" I said, feeling concerned for my slightly younger brother. "It hurts my throat and lungs" He said, bringing his hand up to rub at his chest. I frowned, that wasn't a good thing. "Well, let's get you home, then I think you should take a hot shower, it will help clear your lungs out" he nodded, "You know you're probably going to catch whatever this is" Kwangmin said, he glanced over at me, looking apologetic. "If I do, I do. It is what it is. I'd rather potentially get sick then leave you alone when you're sick"
"Why can't you always be this nice?"
"Because you're my brother" I said simply, he rolled his eyes, "you're so mean to me" I laughed, he shook his head in exasperation. "I don't get paid enough for this" I said, he rolled his eyes again, "So when you get sick am I allowed to be this sassy when I babysit you?"
"No"
"why not?"
"because when I get sick, it will be your fault" he sighed dramatically, "I guess you're right" I laughed, "Min?"
"hm?"
"do you have any tissues in here?" I pointed at the glove compartment, "might be some in there" he thanked me, and opened it, he took a few napkins out, "hekTchu- EKTchu hh- ehh-KTchu"
"Bless you" he thanked me, blowing his nose after, he coughed again, I could hear it in his lungs. "How long did you say you've been sick?"
"just since yesterday"
"You sure? That cough sounds rough"
"I guess I've had the cough for a few days. Thought it was just allergies"
"Do you have allergies?"
"The past few years I've developed some. So I kinda assumed it was that kind of thing."
"Well I think we can eliminate allergies, no allergies I've ever heard of cause a fever" he nodded, "that's how I knew it wasn't allergies.. Well, that and how achy and tired I've gotten since waking up." I reached over to his seat and patted his arm, "You wouldn't have been so sick if you didn't go dance all morning" He sideyed me, "oh shut up"
"No" He rolled his eyes. "and stop talking, you need to rest your voice" he gave me a sideye. "fine" and to his credit he did actually stop talking, at least until we got home. "Go shower, it will help loosen the congestion in your chest. Then we'll get you medicated. Then you should rest. Especially with how much you exerted your body this morning"
"okay mom" I rolled my eyes, "shut up and go shower before I regret babysitting you" he laughed, which caused him to cough, "you deserved that" he glared at me, but there was no actual anger behind it. "do you have clothes I can borrow?" I nodded, "you head to the bathroom, I'll bring some" He nodded, "where-"
"Towels are in the closet across the hallway from the bathroom."
"oh, thanks. How-"
"I'm your twin. I can read your mind"
"get out of my brain"
"no" He pretended to throw his phone at me, he went down the hallway to the bathroom, grabbing a towel on the way. I went the opposite direction to my bedroom and grabbed a tshirt and pajama pants. I went into the bathroom, "clothes are on the counter when you're done"
"thanks"
"no problem" I said, I closed the door and went to the kitchen, I put on a thing of water to make tea, I felt a sense of dread when I noticed a familiar achy feeling that settled over my body. I already knew that I was going to catch Kwang's cold, but I didn't expect it to happen this quickly. I sighed, which caused an itchy and uncomfortable sensation in my nose, I groaned in annoyance, I grabbed the paper towel roll and ripped one off, I blew my nose harshly on it, hoping to rid myself of the feeling, but unfortunately it did the opposite. "itchiew- hh-thciew-" I cringed at the kittenish sound of the sneezes, feeling embarrassed even if no one was around. I blew my nose on the paper towel again and tossed it in the trash. I went back to a cupboard and took 2 mugs out and put them on the counter and put a mint teabag in his, knowing that's his favorite kind.
It was then that I heard footsteps coming down the hall. "feeling any better?" I asked, "Somewhat" his words were dulled by congestion, "I cand breathe bedder" he said, he rubbed his nose with his hand, he grabbed a paper towel and blew his nose "wash your hands" I said, going back to preparing the tea. I felt my nose prick the need to sneeze, I sighed softly in annoyance, I took a paper towel and held it to my face, "itchiEW- tchiiew- hheh-tchii"
"HhKTchu- EhKTchu- hh-KTchhu" the two of us sneezed in unison, "bless you" we both said, laughing a bit. "must be a new form of twin telepathy" he said, then he gave me a strange look, "you're getting sick aren't you?"
"probably" I said with a shrug, "I'm sorry"
"it's fine, we knew it was going to happen eventually" I shrugged, "I guess we can just take care of each other" he said, "do you have any tissues. Not paper towels." he said, glancing at the roll of paper towels. "There's nothing wrong with using paper towels"
"dude, doesn't it hurt? my nose gets sore just using regular tissues"
"Really? I personally don't care, if it works, it works" He stares at me for a few seconds, "you are a sick twisted man"
"it's just tissues dude" I said, i threw the roll of paper towels at him, he swatted it away, "it's not. trust me" I rolled my eyes, "I have some tissues in the closet in my room"
"thank you" he said, he walked out of the kitchen.
Once he was gone I stopped fighting the need to sneeze. I had tried fighting it because even though Kwangmin is my brother, I was still embarrassed. "ekt-chie hh-ktchiie- ktchiiee" I groaned softly and took one of the paper towels and blew my nose. The sensation did not leave, "hh-ktchiie- hhk-tchie- ehktchiew" I sniffled and reached for a paper towel, only to be startled when a box of tissues smacked me in the arm. I looked up, Kwangmin was standing nearby. I glanced at the box of tissues. "Bless you" he said, he came and sat down next to me. Just to get on his nerves I took a paper towel and blew my nose, he rolled his eyes. "I forgot how much you sound like a baby kitten when you sneeze" I was going to say something but was distracted, "baby kitten?"
"yeah, because just saying kitten or baby isn't cute enough, so we get both"
"A kitten is already a baby"
"yeah, but your sneeze is so cute it's even cuter than just a kitten" I picked up the box of tissues and smacked him on the head with it. He laughed, which caused him to cough. I laughed, he rolled his eyes, he stood up and got the two mugs of tea and brought them to the table. "if it's okay with you I might lie down for a nap after this. I'm really tired. "yeah that's fine. I have a spare bedroom you can stay in"
"thanks. for everything"
"No problem" I smiled, he smiled back. We finished our tea in a comfortable silence. After we were done I sent him to the bedroom to rest. I took the cups to the kitchen and began doing dishes, quickly realizing how tired I was. I turned off the water and put the cups in the dishwasher, not even bothering to finish I went to my room, I lay down on bed for barely a minute and was already asleep.
Kwangmin p.o.v
I woke up feeling better. Not great, I wouldn't even necessarily say good, but better. I got out of bed, and began my search for my twin. I first went to the kitchen but he wasn't there, not in the living room, I went to his room, he was snoring softly obviously asleep on his bed. I closed his door softly and went to the living room, turning on the tv for some soft background noise. I took out my phone and began playing a game. I sniffled, i realized I would have to get up to get tissues. I sighed in annoyance and stood up, walking the eternal 10 feet to the kitchen table to grab the box of tissues. I brought them over and sat back down, the box of tissues tucked under my arm. I set the box on my lap, knowing I'd need them nearby. I scrolled for a few minutes on my phone. I felt the annoying constant tickle finally come to fruition, "hhKtchu ehh-Ktchu- kktcHU- hhKktcHu"
"bless you" I nearly fell off the couch, "holy shit dude you scared me"
"sorry" his voice was hoarse, "you alright?"
"definitely sick" was his response. I waved for him to sit next to me. He looked at the tv. "Whatcha watching?"
"The Hobbit" I said, "oh, can we start it over?" he asked settling onto the couch, taking a blanket and the box of tissues. "sure" I picked up the remote and went back to the beginning. The two of us watched. I noticed how quiet Youngmin was, I glanced over, his eyes were glossed over but very focused. "You okay Min?" He raised a finger to his lips. "shhh, this movie is amazing" I laughed and set my phone down, focusing more on the tv, quickly realizing why he was so intrigued, the movie was a cinematic masterpiece. We spent the next few days watching the rest of the trilogy then moving on to The Lord Of The Rings.
