Pairing: Haechan x Original female character

Genre: Cyberpunk AU, Crime, Angst

Warnings: Themes of violence, drug abuse, sexual themes, mentions of prostitution

Summary: Donghyuck, under the guise of Haechan, is part of Seoul’s underground collective of hackers: NEO. The closest thing that he’ll ever have to a family, the members of NEO provide him protection from the outside world. In the midst of uncovering the darkest secret of the city’s corrupt elite, Haechan gets an assignment to run a background check on the new recruit, ANGEL.

Chapter index here

“Congrats, you've been promoted from errand boy to Taeyong’s bitch,” Johnny sneered. As if there was a difference, weren't they one and the same?

He aimlessly threw down the manila “CONFIDENTIAL” folder on top of the growing pile of crumpled papers and candy wrappers on Donghyuck’s desk.

“What's this?”

“What does it look like, dumbass?” Johnny blankly said, waiting for Donghyuck's response.

Donghyuck took a peer into the folder. To his bewilderment, it was empty. Was this another one of Johnny and Jaehyun’s lame excuses for a prank? Donghyuck thought those would only last the first few weeks of his recruitment, but they were persistent in their attempts. Fed up, Donghyck rolled his eyes.

“What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?”

Johnny looked like he was about to say another snarky remark, but gave it up once he saw the annoyance written on Donghyuck’s face.

“Fill it. Taeyong wants you to do a background check on a new recruit. Their name is Angel.”

Donghyck was a hacker. What did a background check have to do with his job? Maybe it was some sort of test. In that case, Donghyuck had to suck it up and comply with orders.

“How much time do I have?”

“Not long, you know how Taeyong doesn't like to wait.”

“Fine,” he replied shortly. “But if I can't get in a week then what happens?”

“Simple, it gets assigned to someone else who's not incompetent.”

That other someone would most definitely be Doyoung. Unlike Haechan and Mark, Doyoung had been by Taeyong’s side since the conception of NEO. Haechan had only seen Doyoung a few times in passing, mostly because the latter was locked away in his room, spending days on codes. Doyoung was always sharpening his skills, a weapon that could easily break into the most secure systems. With just one quick slice, countless have fallen in his wake.

It's not that Donghyuck feared him, but instead he wished he was him. Wished he was better than him in every way. Truthfully, he couldn’t wait for the day he surpassed Doyoung as NEO’s top hacker. Donghyuck was willing to do everything. Even if it meant that he had to do the bullshit work Johnny assigned him.

Johnny’s threat lit a fire under Donghyuck’s ass.

“It won't go to someone else. I’ll have the results by tomorrow.”

“Don't keep me waiting,” is all Johnny said before the door shut loudly behind him.

oh my god when did this descent into han jisung begin HAHA i blinked and missed so much. how are you? i hope you’re doing well!! (even your blog url, you are down BAD)

help me.

okay, jokes aside! it's nice to hear from you baby <3 i've been well! gonna take a summer vacation then find work once i return to the states! hope you are doing well too!!

i wish i have an answer for you but even i... don't know when it started? i tried tracing back the tag i have for him but what i can see is just this sudden jump from me liking him normally to my liking him also normally but with more gore. honestly, i feel like i just kind of got more in touch with myself and how i prefer to love (strong word there) a certain kpop boy, because i don't like him the way i like other members of the same group / different group, but there is an on-going theme for each of them.

also, i won't say i'm down bad necessarily. i'm not even a jisung centric blog, technically. i still tell everyone my bias is jeongin and he still is. i will be down bad for jisung if nothing about this blog has any indication of him, or at least very little presence of him. the reason why he is everywhere is because it doesn't stress me out talking about him the way it stresses me out to merely think about, let's say, lee donghyck, who i have no feelings for whatsoever please don't get the wrong idea. if i stop talking about hanji one day then yup—i am down bad.

[smileysuh]

hello!

can i request the scene "you toy with him while he's driving" with haechan

smut [18+] prompt - [scene] you toy with him while he's driving

–▸ pairing: lee haechan x reader –▸ word count: 364

by the time you get to the car, your panties are soaked from haechan’s incessant teasing, and you go to grab him as soon as he’s in the drivers seat. 

your boyfriend kisses you hard-

but he pulls away quickly, one hand wrapping around your throat to keep you from following him for more. 

“wait till we get back to the dorms.”

“but-” you can’t help but pout at him, “johnny and taeyong and doyoung are there-”

“so?”

“so- can’t we-” you reach for his thigh-

haechan brushes your hand away. “no.”

you shouldn’t have tested him while out with his nct dream friends- but to be fair, you’d thought he would crack.

you’d thought, incorrectly, that if you touched him under the table, he’d take you to the bathroom to fuck you-

and to be fair, every haechan exhibition encounter had led to this- but not tonight.

tonight, he’d pushed your hand away, as he’d just done again, and put his own between your thighs. he’d worked you up three times, and on the cusp of each orgasm, your mischievous maknae boyfriend had pulled away and left you unsatisfied. 

“hyuck-” you whine his name, and it only earns you a laugh.

it’s the kind of laugh that says, ‘don’t test me’

with a sigh, you sit back in your seat, and after watching you for a moment, haechan nods. “good girl.”

you try to wait patiently, but within minutes, fidgeting just isn’t enough, 

“hyuck, please-” you say again, grabbing at his thigh with both your hands.

“please what?” he hardly looks at you, keeping his eyes on the road, but he shifts in his seat a little, giving you more access-

“i want you in my mouth so bad-” you whine, “i need something-”

“fine,” the car comes to a stop at a red light and your boyfriend undoes his belt, “i’ll give you my cock, but i’m still going to fuck you when we get back to the dorms- gonna shut you up,” he grabs the back of your head and guides you to his awaiting member, “and then,” he groans when your throat closes around him, “i’m gonna make you scream.”

(Nahyuck) sharp objects

Donghyuck hates the fact that he thinks Jaemin looks beautiful even more than he allegedly hates Jaemin himself. Because something else to note from all this years they’ve known each other, is that Lee Donghyuck has been harbouring an big, fat crush on Na Jaemin he has no control over anymore.

in regards to the demon donghyuck au i made the foundation for two years ago. where he has half of mc's heart and mc has half of his. i think i have always been infatuated with the idea of being one with that person. but the ending for this pair is that something terrible has hapoened. and donghyck stabs his claws into his body to take out his half of the demon heart, and he replaces it with the reader's half of their own heart to save them. he dies—he has a human heart in a demon's body. reader lives—they have a demon heart in a human's body. but it is not about demons and humans. this is about them. donghyuck gave reader his heart and he knew he had always belonged to them. he dies knowing his heart lives where it has always belonged. reader lives with donghyuck in them always, because his heart keeps them alive. you in me, me in you. you are me, i am you.

this is about them becoming one. becoming the same.

[kkaebsongtypo]

[4:39pm] "I've got you baby..." Donghyuck said quietly, lacing his fingers with yours. He squeezed your hand gently as you stood side by side outside of his parents house, getting ready to meet his family for the first time. You took a deep breath, trying to calm your nerves.

"They're going to love you." He said, turning to look at you. You took another deep breath and nodded slowly. Donghyuck smiled softly, leaning forward slightly to kiss your forehead. He looked you in the eye and nodded gently; you nodded back to him with a nervous smile before he knocked on the door.

Summary:

Sometimes, just loving each other isn’t a reason to continue being together.

or

Life consists of moments, and some people are only meant to stay in your life for a moment.

___

September (Now)

When you wake up, it’s breaking dawn. Despite the layers you’re tangled in, it’s still cold in the little one bedroom apartment you share with Haechan downtown. There’s an obscene amount of blankets for the sheer size of the bed; the air condition has been blasting too low for weeks, and neither of you have bothered trying to turn it off. 

The kitchen sink has clogged up a couple days ago, from the buildup of grease or a stray utensil you don’t know—just that the dishes have piled up, and much like the thin balance that holds you and Haechan together, are on the verge of collapsing. 

You question if he still lives with you out of fear of being alone, but you know the answer has always lied in the thin white sheets of the empty two sized bed when you wake up.

Even so, during the rare moments you wake up early enough to see him next to you, there’s an unspoken wall split down the white sheets, and you haven’t really kissed each other in weeks.

As your eyes dart around the room, what should really be considered evidence of your relationship seems old, like artifacts, untouched for centuries. The picture frame that once graced the nightstand, trapped in the crevice between the wall, the 70-millimeter projector Haechan bought you for christmas, back in the box, collecting dust and untouched. 

It’s another day, another changing of the seasons, and you’re still looking for someone to blame, but it's hard to point fingers at someone who isn’t there. 

It’s hard for Haechan to do wrong when he hasn’t been doing anything. So maybe it’s you that make the moments alone feel so long, as you find yourself waiting for just the click of the door opening, a call, a note, a kiss, anything. And maybe one day, if you try hard enough, you’ll find something out of nothing.

But right now, as you hear shuffling and the click of a door, you know he’s only leaving the apartment again. 

September (Before)

It’s bittersweet when the last hints of summer fade into fall, but when you make your way up the stairs and finally drop the boxes on the floor, you don’t mind it as much as you thought you would. 

“It’s so spacious.”

“You don’t have to lie, Channie.”

“No I’m serious.”

“First of all, you’re never serious, and second of all, it’s only because it’s empty and we haven’t unpacked.”

He seems so excited and you can’t blame him, you’re excited too. A place to finally call your own, even if it was the size fit for a Keebler elf. 

As you work on opening each cardboard box, Haechan digs in, taking your things out of the box, organizing them. When you’re finally done, you plop on the couch, resting. When you look over at Haechan he’s focused, with a little drop of sweat traveling down his face as he puts up the curtains. 

Christmas (Before)

“Well, it has character.”

“You don’t have to lie.”

The thing in question, being the little Christmas tree Haechan dragged in despite your insistence that one wasn’t necessary. It’s frail, evidenced by the way the weight of the star bends the tip of the tree, and the firs that branch out from the trunk are discolored. It’s so dry, you think, if you snap the tree in half and start rubbing the sticks together, you could start a fire. You rather not be arrested for arson, so you just sigh. It is kind of endearing, but you’d never admit it. 

“And now we wait for Midnight,” he declares, wrapping his arm around you. “so I can kiss you in celebration.” 

“I think you’re confusing Christmas with New Years.”

 “I figured you’d be difficult,” he shrugs.  “You’re always worried about something,”  he begins, rummaging in his pocket. “Loosen up it’s Christmas, our second one.” When his hand finally leaves his pocket, there’s a small bunch of mistletoe haphazardly attached to a string. He lifts his arm, and it dangles just above your heads. 

“You have to kiss me now.”

“I’d kiss you regardless-” 

“Shut up.” With the swift movement of his head, he presses his lips against you. 

It’s Christmas, and you don’t have a lot of money. It’s Christmas, but you have Haechan, and that’s all that matters. 

…

“Where did you get this, anyways?” 

Haechan scratches the back of his head. “I dunno.”

“Don’t even try lying to me, I’ll get it out of you eventually.”

“It’s not lying if I withhold the truth,” he says stubbornly, and you roll your eyes as you adjust the focus of the screen. 

“No seriously, this is a really nice projector. I don’t think we could’ve afforded something like this if we only ate rice and beans for a month.” 

“I don’t understand why it matters.” he says nonchalantly, chewing on the last of the popcorn

“It matters because rent is due next week, and we’re almost short because of the heating bill.”

“You worry too much.”

“And you worry too little” you interject.

“Not when it’s about you.” he responds, and your face softens. 

He opens his arms, and you crawl into them. You’ve been stressed with work lately, he knows.

You’ve always talked about getting a projector, and how cool it would be (“We could have movie nights!”) but knowing you, you wouldn’t ever drop money on one to buy it for yourself. 

It’s the last of his graduation money well spent, just to make you happy. 

New Years (Before)

You don’t know if it’s the twinkling lights, or the atmosphere (or the champagne) that has you feeling this way, but you’re feeling quite warm and fuzzy.

You trip and nearly kiss the floor on the way to the snack table when Jaemin catches you.

“Woah woah woah there, easy. Looks like someone’s had too much to drink.” he teases, reaching across the table to grab a napkin. Some of the champagne from his flute spilled onto your dress, and Jaemin dabs a napkin apologetically. 

Renjun glances to his side and gives Haechan a little tap, pointing to your hunched figure. Haechan sighs, and makes his way to you.

To the average bystander, it's an innocent display of chivalry as Jaemin links his arm around yours and you lean on him, searching for a place to put you so you won’t cause anymore trouble, but Haechan can’t help but feel a little, pissed off? Peeved, jealous even. 

“My dress,” you grumble, and Jaemin only laughs. “It’s okay, you still look pretty y/n. You’ve always been.

Yes, you do look pretty tonight, Haechan knows, and when you’re back in his arms, he whispers to you that you’re going home. 

...

You’re breathless when Haechan scoops your legs from right under you, disregarding the heel on your left foot you still haven’t taken off.

“Too slow.” he huffs, and you can only wrap your arms around your neck in support when he impatiently shakes your body slightly so that your shoe falls to the floor. 

When he finally makes his way to the bedroom, he plops you front first. The bed feels so comfy, but you snap back into focus when you hear some rustling, then the familiar clank of the metal of a belt hit the floor. 

When you turn around, he wastes no time kissing you, and you almost forget what you wanted to say.

“We didn’t even-” Haechan begins to slide his hand under your dress, interrupting you. “Even see the ball drop” you manage to gasp out. 

“Does it matter?” he hums. Your strapless bra is yanked right out from under you, and any resolve you had to press the topic any further goes with it.   

“It is so bad that I want to spend some quality alone time with you on New Years?”

He’s so worked up it’s almost comical, and he makes it a point to fuck you so that you’ll be feeling it for the next week, but you’re not complaining. It’s quality alone time after all. 

Spring (Before)

If  they say March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, then your sanity must have left with it. You get a job promotion, and Haechan well, finally finds a job after months of searching. Haechan’s excited, you’re excited, money isn’t as much of an issue anymore, and you couldn’t be happier.

With your newfound responsibilities, you find that it’s hectic at work, so you’re hardly home when he is. When you are, you find yourselves  too tired to do anything but stick a frozen dinner in the microwave, and call it a night. But when you can, you try to set aside a day to eat together, to do something.

It’s difficult at first, but it’s okay, because change is arduous, and it’s okay, because  you have each other.

You try your best to call during lunch breaks, but even then, the calls get shorter, and spending time together becomes an afterthought. The time you do spend together is awkward, with strained silences in between that make you think, was it always like this before? You would almost prefer arguing- then you would at least be talking to each other.

Maybe the riff between you two goes deeper than that, then just work on the surface. It’s riddled with doubt, uncertainty. Doubt, when he says he has extra hours he needs to do at the company, uncertainty when you don’t know when you’ll see him next. You don’t need to lose your mind every time he doesn’t call, because he certainly doesn’t. He doesn’t, so you won’t. You shouldn’t have to win his love, right? because you have it. You’ve always had it.

You don’t know when it occurred to you that his laugh began to mean something more to you--but right now, you’re not so sure when you started evolving into strangers.

Summer (Before)

Spring bleeds into summer, and work lets down a little. Haechan has the day off. You let him know you’ll be coming home a little early, and you do, right before the sun sets, groceries in hand.

When you slip off your shoes and hang your jacket on the coat rack, you make your way to the kitchen. As you make your way to the kitchen, you notice the pans on the stove, and the single empty set aside in the sink.

When you make your way to the bedroom, you find him on his back, scrolling aimlessly through his phone.

“Does this even matter to you, if we eat together?”

“Not really,” he shrugs.

You drop the subject.

September (Now)

Maybe at a time you felt free here, but right now, everything about the apartment is suffocating, the blankets, the air, the silence. You bring out the duffel bag you haven’t used since you’ve moved in, and begin to fill it with your belongings. You need to be somewhere, anywhere. Anywhere but here.

Dusk is transforming into evening when you finally see him. He’s leaning against the door frame, with the light of the sunset illuminating the thin wisps of hair that frame his face. In baggy sweats, and your favorite white tee of his, with the tiny hole on the sleeve from wearing it so much (because you liked it, he once said), in the rose tinted light, he’s the spitting image of the boy you fell in love with, the boy you’ve always loved, for the past year, months, weeks. But when you take the time to look closer, he looks tired, with his eyes sunken and hollow. At the edge of the room is as close as he gets, but he feels miles away

“Where did you go today?”

“I was out with a friend,” you lie. You’re always there when he comes home, and that hasn’t changed. But how else are you going to explain the traces of makeup that linger on your face, and the fact that you’re dressed? You didn’t think he’d care enough notice, let alone point it out. You look up at him, but his gaze remains on the floor, shoe digging in the peeling carpet.

When you see his jaw tense and lips begin to part, you see a glimpse of the man who used to hold on to you like you were the last person on earth; he’s lost the right a long time ago, to be overprotective, to ask about your day, like it would make any difference now. It’s when his gaze travels from the carpet, to the closet, the empty hangers, the sweater in your hands, the bag, he stops; it’s finally sinking in. 

Baggy sweats, in a white t-shirt with his heart on his sleeve. Messy hair, he looks like the man you’ve always known, always loved, last year, last month. Today, and even tomorrow when you’re on that train going far far away. If you get on that train.

Because you’ve been thinking: Is this what love is? They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but all you’ve been feeling these days is empty. Even so, after all this time apart, you still feel the urge to kiss him. 

“Where are you going?” he looks at you, the closet, the bag.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t need to lie to me.”

The answer is in your silence, and wordlessly, he walks past you and lays on the bed. 

“Come here,” he says, and his body forms a crevice on the bed that hasn’t been there for months. 

“I don’t think I should.”

“Please,” his voice breaks, and you feel your plans begin to tear apart at the seams. “Just one last time.”

He knows he can’t stop you from leaving, it’s inevitable, an unspoken end. He can only delay it.

There's a soft crinkle as he wraps his arms around you in your jacket, tightly, almost painfully. 

“The truth is, I- I still, I-”

“I know,” you say softly, interrupting him. “Me too.”

…

When you wake up it’s breaking dawn, and you’re tangled in the arms of the only thing you’ve ever known love to be. He looks so peaceful, with the light of dawn shining on his bare face like drops of morning dew catching the sun. He’s still Haechan and you’re still you, but you know things are different now, and somewhere along the way you forgot to tell each other about it.

You hastily get your bag, leaving no room for second thoughts.

As you head out the door, you see a bag of groceries carelessly dropped on the counter, the bag broken. You see oranges, cereal, a carton of eggs all for two. You see your favorite brand of instant coffee, the one Haechan hates, but always buys for you anyway.

It’s bittersweet as the last hints of summer fade into fall, and you mind it. You mind it a lot. You know there will be a time again when everything will fit right in, but right now, everything is falling apart and you can’t look back. Maybe in a different life you both fight all day, but kiss all night. In another universe, things could still be changing too. You could be leaving this little apartment together, on a train maybe to somewhere bigger. 

September (Before)

“y/n?”

“Yes Hyuck?” you say absentmindedly, fiddling with his silver necklace as you lay on his chest. You’re both tired from unpacking, and you might be just a little late for work. It doesn’t matter, you can spare the subway fare instead of walking. 

“Where do you want to live eventually?”

“I have no idea, but I’m open to anything. I think it would be really cool to live in the city,” you ponder. “but I wouldn’t be able to live there my whole life, you know? What about you?” 

“I kinda wanna live in Utah.”

“Utah is really pretty.” you agree. “Airplane tickets are kinda expensive though, trains are cheaper, but it might take a little longer, and I don’t know if I can be in confined space with you for that long.” you tease.

“Don’t lie you love me,” he grumbles. “It just seems so great,” Haechan continues. “It’s rural and the houses are so big and-” he suddenly pauses. “What if we can’t find jobs in the same location?”

“Hyuck why are you so worried about all this? ” You can only laugh at the little frown he makes in response. “We just moved in, and all of this is so far ahead in the future.”

“I want to make your life amazing,” he announces, “I want the best for us so figured I might as well start planning now.”

You’re ready to tease him for his sudden onset of seriousness, for being so out of character. The Haechan you know doesn’t plan; he scarfs down cereal each day in the morning, and throws on the first item he sees-but when you look up at him, his eyes are filled with sincerity—He’s dead serious. 

As you sit up you kiss his forehead, cupping his face in your hands. Feeling his cheeks contract as you pull away, he purses his lips.

“Kiss me?”

“Okay, just one last time,” you laugh. “I really need to go now though.”

a/n: I don’t know why but I’ve been writing a lot of sad stuff lately, I hope this one makes sense lmao. Let me know what you think, feedback is always appreciated

[pyox1]

[9:33pm] "He parked in my spot! Again!" You scoffed, peeking through the blinds of your window. "What a douchebag..." Your roommate sighed, her head hurting from your constant whines against the next door neighbor.

"Why don't you just confront him?" She asked as if it was the most obvious thing to do, only hoping that you'll agree to silence you.

"And risk embarrassing myself or him just telling me to screw off?! Never." Another sigh left her lips. "Plus, I have no idea who he is, it's not like I'd know who to talk to."

"He lives in the appartement right next to ours." She said, matter of fact.

"Still! What if someone else answers the door? And what if I start insulting the wr-"

"Oh my god!" You roommate interrupted you, fed up. "Key his car! I don't know! Why should I care?" Your mouth shut slowly as you catched the key she threw your way. "Just- please. My head is throbbing right now and your nonsense is not helping in any way right now."

"Of course, sorry. My parking spot holds a special place in my heart, you know that." She laughs, while you close the front door behind you, walking with determination towards the old toyota prius that you oh so hated. Looking around, you made sure the coast was clear before squating down to the level of the driver's door.

What could you possibly write or draw on this idiot's car... You could go for a dick, a well known classic, but unoriginal. You could also decorate it with nicknames such as dickhead, asshole, moron, parking thief, the possibilities were endless. You took a deep breath of air, bringing the key up to the car.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Without turning around you answered the unknown voice.

"I'm about to give this imbecile what he deserves." The person behind you cleared its throat, the voice now much closer to you. You turned around to be faced with a tall guy, brown hair and soft eyes. His skin was tan and he stood nonchalantly, his hands in the pockets of his pants. You were sure had never seen him before. It would've been hard to forget a pretty face like his.

"I'm sorry- but who are you? As you can see, i'm in the middle of something." You dangled the keychain between your index and your thumb.

"Well, I'm the imbecile's car's owner." You felt all the color drain out of your face as you stood back up, getting to eye level with the guy.

"I am SO sorry. Oh my- oh my- I didn't mean to- shit." You ran you hand through your hair, while he stared amusingly at your small breakdown. "Fuck- I had no idea you were the owner of this vehicule, please forgive me."

"Don't sweat it," He chuckled, crossing his arms. "I feel like there must be a reason behind you wanting to sabotage my car... Care to explain?" You had never felt as small as today, still being almost the same height as the cute guy in front of you. While you tried to explain your motives in the most polite way, and without stuttering, you couldn't help but notice his growing smirk. He didn't seem mad at all, which confused you.

"Again, I'm sorry." You said, putting an end to your explanation.

"Again, you technically didn't do anything wrong, at the end I'm the asshole of the story. I shouldn't be parking in your spot."

"Oh, uh, don't worry, it's fine." You were taken aback by his understanding and kindness. You were ashamed of yourself for expecting him to be some big jerk while he was the one apologizing.

"But I do expect some kind or payement for such malicious ideas towards my car." He started, walking closer. "What about I take you out on a date? And then we can call it even."

The blood suddenly all rushed back to your face. You tried to formulate an answer but the words kept getting caught in your throat, leaving you looking like a fish out of water.

"I'll take the blush as a yes." He tried to hold back his laugh. You suddenly relaxed, his words making you feel more at ease.

"I'm Haechan by the way, or Lee Donghyuck, but most commonly known as the imbecile."
