The Unreleased Androids

(Name) is a normal girl working a normal job in a tech dominated world. Until, her boss tells her to take care of four androids to see if they could work at their cafe. (Name)’s devastated of course. She doesn’t want to deal with androids especially when she knows nothing about them. Not only that, these androids…aren’t like the ones she sees walking around or working or even on TV. Maybe it’s because they’re demos that were from a discontinued line that was never released. Whatever it is…they’re definitely strange.

——————————————————————————

Androids. Humanoid robots or other artificial beings often made to have a realistic human appearance.

They didn’t become for sale until a couple of years ago. At first, they were used for jobs in factories or as laborers since they possessed way more strength than regular humans. But as time went on, they were seen practically everywhere for any little thing. Some used them as companions, some used them as babysitters, some used them as maids, some even used them for things that were not so holy.

(Name) sighed as she looked at the ad. She never really thought about owning an android, not that she could afford one anyway, but owning something that looked so human-like just didn’t sit right with her. She took one last look at the ad before returning to her game.

A few minutes later, she finally received the email from her boss. (Name) read the email in disbelief. Her boss was asking her to test run four androids. (Name) held her head in her hands. Four androids? Her boss really wanted her to to test four androids. Not only that, but they would have to live with her for an unspecified amount of time.

‘She must be joking…and these models that she wants me to test…they’re all models that haven’t even been released yet. What if they break or I damage them or something?! I can’t afford that!’ (Name) thought to herself.

Suddenly, her phone rang. (Name) picked it up quickly. It was her boss calling. She answered immediately. “Hello?” (Name) asked timidly. "Did you receive my email?” her boss asked impatiently. "Yes, but…ma’am…are you sure this is a good idea? Entrusting me with the androids? ” (Name) asked hesitantly. “Yes, I’m quite sure. If there’s anyone I could trust it’s you. I know you might not be familiar with androids, but I really think we could use them at our cafe. I want to leave them in your care so you can assess whether they’re compatible enough to work for us. This could be a great opportunity and I’m sure we can make it work. Just do this for me. Okay?” her boss said earnestly.

(Name) hesitated for another second before answering. “I...I understand. Thank you for trusting me with this. I’ll do my best. But seriously, I don’t know anything about androids. How will I even-” (Name) paused when she heard a small chuckle coming from the other end of the line. “You won’t need to worry about that. You’re a smart girl, you’ll learn everything very quickly. The only thing you need to do is supervise them and see how they will fit in at the cafe. You know, just test them and see what jobs and tasks they can do as well as see how they are around humans. Now, the androids will be sent to you by tomorrow morning and they already have a manual and instructions with them so don’t worry.”

With that, she hung up. (Name) put her phone down on her desk and massaged her forehead. Well, time to research about androids.

———

(Name) woke up early the next day hoping that the androids would just arrive already. She spent her morning researching and learning more about androids. It wasn’t until 12 in the afternoon that a delivery truck arrived.

The delivery man knocked on the door, which (Name) opened immediately. The delivery man made her sign a few papers before opening his truck and wheeling out the four androids. (Name) followed him closely while he unloaded the four androids onto her living room floor. (Name) thanked him once he was done and watched him leave.

She stared at the big metal box the androids resided in. ‘Is it too late to turn back?’ She wondered. (Name) shook her head to snap herself out of her thoughts. She walked over to the boxes and tentatively placed her hand on it. “How do I even open this thing?” she thought aloud.

She looked and felt around the box, finally finding a small button. She pressed it and watched as the sides of the box fell down, revealing her first android. (Name) looked at it in shock. She knew androids were supposed to look like humans, but this was another level. She wouldn’t even know it was an android if it hadn’t come in that box.

The android wore a plain white tee with ripped jeans. He was quite tall and he seemed to be her age range-or at least designed to look that way. She slowly raised her hand and placed a finger on his face. His skin was soft to the touch, just like a real human. She stood there for a good 20 seconds just admiring him.

She finally snapped herself out of her daze and looked around for a manual. When she found one, she opened it. She skimmed through the pages trying to figure out the basic things. The manual mentioned that this particular android’s name was Heeseung and that he is supposed to be the oldest of the four. He’s a funny guy who’s good at practically everything and the other androids really look up to him. ‘Wow, they really have their own personalities huh…,’ (Name) thought to herself.

She continued reading.

Another important thing she read was about the LED lights. They are located on the androids’ temple surrounding their power button. Blue symbolizes that they are stable and okay, yellow means that they are thinking or concerned, and red means that they are extremely distressed. She finally looked for how to activate the android.

She put down the manual and looked at his temple, seeing a small button with a thin ring around it. (Name) held down on the button for about 3 seconds then the ring around the button flashed blue. She stepped back and waited for a few seconds. After about two seconds, the android opened his eyes. His eyes as well his LED light turned blue as he stared at her. When his eyes returned back to their normal dark color, He smiled at (Name) and introduced himself.

“Hello, my name is Heeseung. May I ask yours?” His sudden introduction startled (Name) a little, “Oh, um…yes! My name is (Name)….uh…nice to meet you…?” She replied nervously. He smiled at her and (Name) couldn’t help but notice that he had a nice smile. “It’s nice to meet you too, (Name).” Heeseung eyes turned blue again and he looked around the room. Once he was done, his eyes returned to normal and he faced (Name) again. “Sorry if I disturbed you just now. I was scanning the home so that I can memorize the layout.” He explained. “That’s fine. I understand,” (Name) said. Heeseung nodded at her.

The two stared at each other in silence. (Name) looked away awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable. After a few moments of awkward staring, (Name) spoke up again. “Uhm..so…I’m going to activate the others now…you can sit on the couch or look around or whatever else you want to do….” (Name) mumbled, unsure of what to really say. Heeseung nodded at her and sat on the couch.

(Name) walked towards the next box and opened it by pressing the button like last time. It opened and she was met with the android named Jay, as stated in his manual. (Name) looked at the android. She noticed that he was wearing the same outfit as Heeseung: a plain white tee and ripped jeans. She looked through Jay’s manual some more. It stated that he would make the perfect house husband. He was great at cooking, cleaning, and took pride in taking care of others. He was more on the sophisticated side, meaning he enjoys the finer things in life. He also held a lot of knowledge about fashion.

After (Name) was done with manual, she activated him. Jay opened his eyes as they were flashing blue and looked around the room. He looked back at (Name) and bowed introducing himself. “My name is Jay, pleasure to meet you.” (Name) replied, “It’s nice to meet you as well. And you don’t have to be so formal...” Jay nodded at her. “You can go sit on the couch with Heeseung over there.” (Name) told Jay while pointing towards Heeseung. Jay did as he was told and went to sit on the couch beside Heeseung. ‘Two more to go…’ (Name) thought to herself.

She went to the third box and opened it. This android’s name was Jake. She read his manual just like she did the others. Jake was the happy-go-lucky type. He has lots of energy and is very playful. Jake is the nicest guy anyone could ever meet. Basically an angel in android form. He’s usually obedient, but can be a huge prankster sometimes. He’s also a huge scaredy cat. He loves animals, especially dogs. He has a special love for ramyeon, same as Heeseung. (Name) finished reading and activated him. The process went the same as the other androids.

“Hi, I’m Jake! Nice to meet you!” Jake said enthusiastically. (Name) smiled at Jake and answered, “Nice to meet you too, Jake. My name is (Name).” “Wow! That’s such a pretty name!” Jake said with wide eyes. (Name) looked at him in surprise, “Oh…thank you.” ‘Wasn’t expecting a compliment right off the bat like that. He seems really sweet,’ (Name) thought to herself as Jake shook her hand. “Anyway, Jake, you can go and sit on the couch with the others if you want to.” Jake looked over to where Heeseung and Jay was and smiled widely, “Okay!”

(Name) sighed and turned to the last box. This final android was named Sunghoon. (Name) stared at him breathtakingly. He was really beautiful. She observed the moles on his face, his lashes, and his pale skin. Once she finally stopped ogling at him, she finished looking though the manual. Sunghoon was more on the shy and reserved side compared to the others, but he’s really funny and outgoing once you get to know him. He loves to tease the others and argue with them. And he also seemed to be a pretty good figure skater. Although she was unsure on why an android would need that type of programming.

(Name) put the manual away and activated Sunghoon. He did the same as the others before him then introduced himself. “Hello, I’m Sunghoon….nice to meet you.” (Name) smiled at him, finally getting used to these introductions,

“Nice to meet you too. I'm (Name)." Sunghoon nodded at her then stood completely still, just staring at her. (Name) looked at him confused, the other androids bag kind of did something similar, but when he did it, it looked a little...off.

(Name) shook her head trying not to think rudely of any of them. "You can go sit on the couch with the others," (Name) told him. He seemed to snap out of whatever daze he was in and followed her orders.

Once he was seated, (Name) stood in front of them and cleared her throat. “As you already know, my name is (Name). So I guess starting from today, I’ll be your owner…”

(Name) cringed at herself, 'I can't believe I just called myself their owner,’ The androids remained silent after she introduced herself. All of the androids just stared at her blankly, not saying anything until she asked, "So…I’ll be testing you guys starting tomorrow I guess. For now, you guys can rest, explore, or whatever you want to do…and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

Heeseung raised his hand. “Miss (Name). I have a question,” he said. (Name) nodded at him in acknowledgement, "Go ahead, but you don’t have to call me miss.” Heeseung nodded at (Name) and continued, “You stated that you are our owner now correct? Does that mean we’ll be following your commands?” (Name) nodded in confirmation. Heeseung nodded his head and turned toward the other androids. “You guys heard her, right?” They all looked at each other and nodded their heads. Heeseung as well as the other androids turned back to (Name).

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes and LED lights kept flashing from blue to yellow. "Um what are you guys doing...?” she asked confused. They didn't answer until they returned back to normal a few seconds later. "We are acknowledging that you are our owner," Heeseung finally answered. (Name) looked at them in confusion, "Acknowledging?” Heeseung nodded his head, "Yes. We were inputting it into our data so that we can officially recognize you as our owner.” “I see…” (Name) said even though she was still confused.

“Anyway, that’s all for today,” she told them. “If you need me just let me know.” She walked towards her bedroom and went inside.

As soon as she sat on the bed, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and answered immediately once she realized it was her boss. “Hello?” (Name) greeted her boss. “Hello. Did you receive the androids yet?” The woman asked. “Uh…yeah, I did.” “Excellent! How are things going so far? Are you having any issues?” She asked. “Nope, but I haven’t really interacted with them much yet,” (Name) answered.

“I see. Well, if they do act a little strange or do something that doesn’t fit their personality, don’t worry about it.” “What do you mean, ma’am…?” (Name) questioned. “Well, you know how expensive androids are…and I was offered a deal for those four and I just had to take it. The only reason they were so cheap is because they’re basically demos from a discontinued line,” the woman explained. “Demos? As in they haven’t been properly tested? And what do you mean discontinued? Is something wrong with them?” (Name) inquired further. “Don’t worry about it. Everything will be fine. That’ll be all now. I just came to check in and make sure you got them.”

(Name) thanked her and hung up the phone. After putting her phone down she decided to take a shower. She sighed as she thought about her boss’s words. ‘I hope they don’t break down or go crazy on me or something,’ She picked out some pajamas and headed to the bathroom.

———

Now feeling more refreshed after her shower, (Name) went to check on the androids. She found three of them sitting on the couch watching TV. She looked around for the one who was missing, Jay.

She walked towards Jake to ask him about Jay. "Jake?" she called out softly. He looked up at her with a smile. (Name) smiled back then continued asking him, "Where's Jay?" Jake looked around before answering. "He’s in the kitchen, master.” “Thanks…” ‘Did he just call me master..? Whatever, I’ll worry about that later,’ She thought. (Name) walked into the kitchen seeing Jay over the stove. He was cooking ramyeon. “What are you doing, Jay?” (Name) asked him. “I’m making ramyeon. It should be ready soon, mistress.”

(Name) nodded and leaned against the counter. ‘Mistress’ she thought to herself. “You don’t have to cook…I can do it myself.” Jay chuckled and said, “I’m happy to help you, mistress. Just make yourself comfortable while I finish this. I don’t mind doing this anyway.” ‘Well, his manual did say that he was good at cooking, so I guess there’s no harm in letting him do this. I guess I’ll just consider it part of his assessment,’ (Name) thought to herself as she sat on the barstool at the island, slightly taking advantage of his cooking skills.

“Jay,” (Name) started, “Can androids eat food? Sorry, I know it’s a dumb question…” Jay laughed softly and shook his head. “It’s fine. You can ask us anything you want mistress. And yes, androids can eat food but it doesn’t give us any nutrients like it does to you humans. Well…It’s not really considered eating to us anyway since we don’t have actual organs. But, we still choose to eat food to fit in more with humans, plus it’s pretty fun…if that makes sense.”

(Name) nodded her head, “That’s pretty cool. Thanks, Jay.” Jay simply smiled at her then resumed cooking. "Oh, and androids are water proof by the way. Water doesn't bother us.” (Name) frowned, “What makes you think I was going to ask that?” Jay grinned at (Name). "Nothing…" he said teasingly. “I’m kidding, mistress. I wasn’t implying anything. I just wanted to let you know.” “Alright...” (Name) replied. “I’m done, mistress,” Jay announced as he brought out five bowls and placed each on the table.

“Boys, dinner is ready!” The three other androids who had been in the living room got up and headed to the table. They all stood around the table while Jay brought the ramyeon pot along with some rice. (Name) got up from the island and went to the table as well. She took a seat near the end of the table. As soon as she sat down, Jake rushed to sit beside her. When Jay saw what he was doing, he shook his head disapprovingly and scolded him. Jake ignored him and instead proceeded to get some ramyeon.

Everyone else did the same and filled their bowls with ramyeon and rice and began to eat. “You really made my favorite ramyeon…did I tell you that you’re my favorite Jay?” Heeseung joked. Jay chuckled and went back to eating his food. “Thank you for cooking tonight, Jay. This seriously tastes delicious,” (Name) said happily. “No problem mistress. I’m just glad you enjoyed it,” Jay replied.

(Name) stared at the androids for a bit, almost forgetting they were androids for a moment. They seemed so normal…so human…making jokes and interacting with each other as if they were just regular friends.

After dinner, everyone put their dishes into the sink and headed to the living room. ��So, you wanna play some games?” (Name) suggested.

———

Everyone sat in a circle in the living room paying UNO. The only two left in the game were Heeseung and (Name). The others watched the two play. "Uno!” Heeseung yelled as he was finally down to his last card. (Name) frowned upon his action, knowing that she might end up losing since she still had 5 cards left.

She played a card and hoped that it wouldn’t lead Heeseung to his victory. Heeseung groaned when he saw the card (Name) laid down. (Name) chuckled, feeling like her chances of winning has gone up. She watched as Heeseung went to draw a card but just as he did, he placed down his both his new and current card and exclaimed, “Uno, game!” Darn those stack rules…

“Ugh, I can’t believe I lost again…” (Name) groaned. “Sorry miss,” Heeseung laughed. The others laughed as well. (Name) got up and stretched, “Well, since Jay lost the most rounds, you have to clean the dishes,” she smiled at him as he glared at her. “This seems a little unfair, mistress…” (Name) laughed, “Don’t complain when you’re the one who suggested that bet to begin with.”

Jay sighed and made his way to the kitchen. (Name) sat on the couch with the other androids following after her. Heeseung sat on her left and Jake on her right with Sunghoon on the single chair. (Name) turned on the TV and flipped through channels until she landed on a comedy movie that had already begun. They all watched the movie together silently.

Once Jay was done with the dishes, he joined them on the couch in watching the movie. “Quick question, do you guys need sleep? Like do you get tired? Or do you not sleep at all?” (Name) suddenly asked. “We don’t need to sleep. We do require a recharge, however, which I guess is equivalent to resting or sleeping,” Jay answers her. “Oh, I did read something about android charging…I think your chargers are still in the box somewhere…I’ll get them for you guys,” She says before getting up from the couch and walking away.

She walked towards the boxes they came in and got a charger for each. It looked like a regular phone charger except the block part was much larger. She placed their charges on the floor in front of them, “I’ll leave your charges here for when you need them.” She began to walk past the couch then stopped, “I’m going to go to bed now. I have two extra bedrooms so you guys can stay in whichever one you want. Well, goodnight everyone.”

Jake got up off the couch and said, “Wait, master…can you tuck me in…?” Jay punched him in the shoulder, “Did you seriously just ask that you weirdo?!” Jake rubbed his shoulder and pouted, “Sorry, master…I thought that it was normal to tuck someone into bed…”

‘Oh, no! He’s pouting, did that really make him upset? Wait, no, they’re androids so they don’t feel anything. But wow, he looks so cute when he’s pouting…How could I say no that face and adorably plush lips?!’ (Name) thought to herself. She walked towards Jake and calmly placed a hand on his shoulder, “Don’t worry, Jake. I don’t mind tucking you in if that’s what you want. It’s just that people who ask to get tucked in are usually kids, you know.” “So I can’t?” Jake pouted. (Name) smiled at him, “Nah, it’s okay Jake. I’ll tuck you in tonight.” “Thank you, master!” Jake said happily.

“So, does anyone else want to get tucked into bed tonight? ” (Name) asked as she stood next to Jake. The androids all looked at each other. “Well, it’d be embarrassing if Jake was the only one…” Jay said while looking away. (Name) giggled at Jay’s comment. Heeseung wrapped an arm around Jay’s shoulder and grinned, “Well if Jay’s doing it then I will to. What about you Sunghoon?” Sunghoon merely shrugged.

“Well, come on then and don’t forget to bring your chargers,” (Name) said as she led them to the first bedroom. “Who wants this room?” She asked as she opened the door. Jake and Jay raised their hands at the same time. "Sorry, but this room only has one bed though so you’ll have to share,” (Name) told Jake and Jay. Jake shrugged, "That’s fine.” Jay nodded his head in agreement.

“By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask, why do you guys call me that: master, miss, mistress?” (Name) questioned. “It’s just the way we’re programmed. We can’t call our owner by their name,” Jake answered. “Can you guys control it?” (Name) asked curiously. “Nope. But, I don’t mind it. You get so flustered when we call you those things…it’s really cute,” Jake said while winking. ‘What the?! The manual said that he was cute and basically an angel! This isn’t very holy of him!’ (Name) thought to herself as she felt her cheeks heating up. ‘But the boss did say they might not act as their designed personality…no, I’m overthinking this,’ she thought once more.

She cleared her throat, “Just go to bed already, I’m tired.” “Okay, okay, sorry, master. But you still have to tuck us in,” Jake teased. (Name) sighed. “Plug your chargers in,” she told them. Jake and Jay did as told and plug their chargers into the outlet near the bed. “You can get in the bed now,” (Name) told them. Jake crawled into the bed with Jay following after. (Name) pulled the covers up to their chin. “Goodnight guys…” She smiled as she gave them a pat on the head before plugging the charger into the port on the back of their necks. “Night mistress...thank you for tonight,” Jay said. “Goodnight master,” Jake said.

(Name) nodded before holding their power button, watching them close their eyes as they powered off. (Name) walked out of the room and turned off the light, motioning for Sunghoon and Heeseung to follow her. Once she closed the door behind them, she went across the hall to another bedroom. This one had two beds this time. She gestured for the two to take a bed. They obliged and each climbed into their own bed after plugging in their chargers.

(Name) went to Heeseung first and wished him a goodnight. “Goodnight, miss,” Heeseung replied. She plugged the charger into the back of his neck and powered him off. (Name) then turned to Sunghoon and wished him a good night although he didn’t respond and chose to just close his eyes instead. She plugged the charger into the back of his neck as well and powered him off.

Finally, she could go to her own room and sleep. She left Heeseung’s and Sunghoon’s room and returned to her own. ‘Finally…today was such a long day,’ she thought to herself as she crawled into her bed. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

++ just analyzed the story again, you could see the fake iMessages i'm gonna cry 😭💀 yeah i only used an app i have an Android but i'll do better next fic!

playlist : park jongseong ft. lee heeseung – runway

[ 6:55PM ] – you lit your phone to check the time while heading to the runway studio inside the huge luxurious fashion complex you're in. you look around and everything is, gold, though you weren't surprised at all since this is all you've been seeing even before you became a model yourself.

fame and wealth go way back when your mom earned a position as a fashion director in a prestigious clothing line. now you're on your own – attending photoshoots and getting promotions and offers as an ambassadress of a specific clothing item from every clothing line you could think of. rich AND pretty, wow. you own it all. and you know it damn well. though it's not all champagnes and limousines – you have also been set ridiculously unrealistic standards to be able to keep up with what you've set foot on. these thoughts go around your head everyday and everytime they can, and unfortunately these thoughts made you bump in to a young well-dressed man on the large hallway out of absentmindedness.

"shit- i'm so sorry miss, are you okay?" he hurriedly grabbed the purse that fell onto the ground, but with your paranoid mindset, you snatched it from him as a defense mechanism. you breathe and compose yourself better before speaking. "my apologies...? you are?" "oh, park jongseong. call me jay." he extended his hand as a sign for you to shake it. you hesitated and gave him a look and his friend beside him before finally holding his hand. "your friend?" you gestured at the tall boy who dresses neatly the same as jay. "oh, this is my friend. heeseung." you just bowed to him 'cause, well, you just did. he was also extending his hand when you ignored it and bowed down to him, making him fluster and pull his hand back. heeseung let out an awkward chuckle when jay finally spoke : "well, we must be meeting someone at the entrance before the runway show starts right about now. see you there, miss...?" "_____." "yes, miss _____." jay excused himself and nodded before heeseung abruptly imitates him and walked towards the entrance. "hmm." you muttered to yourself.

[ 7:00PM ] – "the show will start in 15 minutes." the speaker announced. you find your reserved seat, but the chair beside you piqued your interest instead. reserved for park jongseong. while the seat beside his had a reserved for lee heeseung place card with gold trim on it. it's a small world, after all.

a few minutes have passed, you saw the two walk towards their reserved seats beside you with your peripheral vision but they stopped mid-track when jay saw you. "miss _____? so glad to meet you again." he bowed down to you like you're a rich ajumma while you just flashed them a smile. he hovered big steps for him and heeseung to be able to sit shortly since they were supposed to sit on the opposite side of where they entered.

at this point, you were starting to try so hard to not have an interest in him but just his scent alone that whiffed on you when he passed by is trying to prove you otherwise. his hair done with a wet-look was enough for you to have the courage and ask for his number. and, you were thanking heavens because : "miss _____, i've been meaning to give you this since the moment we bumped into each other 5 minutes ago." he hands you a business card : 'euphorica'. park jongseong, CEO. for business inquiries, contact this number.

your eyes widen to his actions because you swore to yourself you were mentally asking for his number a second ago. "i want you in my company for an ambassadress tryout. you fit the standard – in fact – you are the standard. you can call the number stated there if you're interested." he continued.

"thanks for the recommendation, jay." you analyzed the place card once more before continuing, "i wasn't aware i was talking to a top-notch ceo." surprised, you raised your brows with an impressed smile. you didn't even know where you're pulling all this charisma from. you're just a model, he's a full-on ceo. if there was something you think you needed to do, it was to polish his already-polished $5k shoes and serve him. but no, you're a composed woman for the night. no flirting, no acts, just you and the love of your life – modelling.

even with the background music playing, you could hear heeseung's loud whispers at jay, "dude, that girl is the deal. you should pull another stunt like getting her a drink at the bartender section later if you really want her to call you." you weren't sure of who they were talking about 'til the last bit. or are you? how could you possibly know if he didn't just give around his business card to random hot girls roaming around the complex? he looked like a playboy, that's for sure. along with his sidekick, bestfriend, or whatever. who knows? he might even be a scam or a fraud! honestly, you thought to yourself that you sometimes need to give everyone a break. you won't be able to communicate with ANYONE if you always think they're all a threat. you let your guards down just this once and let the man entertain you, that is IF heeseung and jay really were talking about you. you distracted yourself with your phone for a bit by scrolling on instagram and not long the show is already starting.

[ 7:15PM ] – "please give a huge round of applause for : euphorica." everybody clapped their hands – including mr. park jongseong beside you who only appeared 10x more charming than before. jay slowly leaned to you, "watch closely, okay? then tell me which outfits you would like to wear during photoshoot so i can choose them for you if you're interested." "surely." you nodded, giving him an assuring smile. "after, we could have a drink at the bar, up there, the rooftop." he gave you that expression with an eyebrow raised and a knowingly smirk, leaving you visibly flustered. he snickered at your expression in return, then leaned back to his seat to whisper something at heeseung. "is this guy seriously flirting with me? if so, he clearly knows his way around girls. hmm, let's see who's better at it." you thought to yourself. you crossed your arms and legs as you watched the show.

every few outfits, he asks you if you fancy them – sometimes yes, sometimes no – but it's the nature of fashion; some will fail miserably and some will pass everybody's standards. he wraps his arm around heeseung's chair while heeseung is leaning forward – his elbows resting on his knees – siren eyes intensely staring at whatever his eyes dart on, face down eyes up.

[ 8:45PM ] – the runway show ended with a few different brands showing off their newbie collection. turns out euphorica is just some kind of an opening remark and that everyone else is starting off fresh in the fashion industry.

jay stood up, heeseung stretched after sitting for a full hour, you checked your things inside your purse idly. jay offers his hand to you, "have you made up your mind, miss _____? rooftop drink." you pause for a second to think of the possible aftermath – broken heart? empty bank vault? ruined reputation? or a really good night after this? you finally made up your mind, "if the drinks are on you, then let's go." you placed your hand on top of his and now he clasped on it. "never thought i'd still be thirdwheeling with all the money and power that i have." heeseung yawned, earning a laugh from jay and a mischievous chuckle from you. you three stepped inside the elevator with platinum buttons and a huge interior with elevator mirrors all around.

"it's not even been a full day and you're already taking the lady to the vip bar." heeseung intentionally stated in a subtle way as he whistles and looks around the elegant elevator like he hasn't stepped inside it before. jay, for the first time that you've seen tonight, was confused at first, but then got embarrassed by heeseung's words later on. he lets out a nervous slash awkward chuckle as he prompts his stance properly – no slouching and bad posture. "no worries, i know my way around boys. i'm sure i can handle whatever stunt mr. jongseong here would throw at me." heeseung gave jay a side-eye – indicating that both have already realized that you've heard what they were talking about before the runway show started. "honestly not expecting for you to be as good as you are in this game, jay. bumping into a girl in a 20ft wide half-empty hallway. how ridiculous." you taunted him to see if he would budge.

from being a mannered gentleman, he started to act like an immature playboy – except his statements made sense. he scoffed, "...you really think i did that on purpose? maybe you're just too assuming for someone who bumped into us." he looked directly at you. "why the sudden change of demeanor, mr. handsome ceo?" you leaned a little closer to him, the tension rising rapidly as heeseung just watches you both interestedly on the corner left side of the elevator near the door. "so you admit i'm handsome?" he, once again, raises his brow at you along with his infamous smirk. "i only tell people what they want to hear." you clapped back.

"wHOOOO! GO RANT THE SHIT OUT OF JAY OVER HERE!" heeseung cheers you out of nowhere, waving his fist up in the air while screaming and clapping inside the enclosed space. you broke into laughter, "oh my god, you're SO funnier than jay over here-" you abruptly chuckled when you saw jay's face – scrunched up nose, squinted eyes, smiling lips – does he like being made fun of? oh what the hell. all that matters is that heeseung was there to cut the tension off of everyone inside the elevator. speaking of elevator, the conversation made it feel like you've been inside for a really long time when it's just been less than a minute.

the door opens, once again, jay extends his elbow for you to hold on to. would you look at that – a guy who can both be ass AND be respectful towards ladies – there's something about him that's making you think about your decision regarding his tryout offer. and he was the one to personally reach out to you. he made you feel important and lucky just by being an accommodating ceo from who-knows-where. so then, what if he was to be your suitor? wait. everything seems too fast, let the man get you a drink first and see how he acts towards you outside of the fashion field before making your decision, as a person who's interested in someone.

the rooftop welcomed you with a cool breeze and rainbow lights everywhere. the night skies building the atmosphere of a chill night and the cityview which you won't ever forget when you leaned on the glass pane fence of the edges of the rooftop. the tiny lights in buildings and the way they all looked so tiny, the heavy traffic with blurbs of red, orange, and yellow, the booming bass of the dj's songs making the atmosphere very much like a club's, and how this random ceo brought you here for a drink just because you caught his eye. all this feeling and mesmerizing happiness inside you just makes everything so memorable and gets you in the feels so much.

"what would you like to drink, _____?" jongseong walked up behind your back and gently pat you on the shoulder, his other hand inside his pocket. you squint your eyes as a sign of distaste coming out of nowhere, "where's heeseung?" he scoffed without any humour and lifted his hand away from your shoulder. "why?" he responded while you answered with a "nothing, do simple questions like that hurt your ego?" he then gave you a shady response, "you want me to give him a call so i can tell him to pick you up and act like his puppy?" you completely turned to him, crossing your arms as you glare at him – even though you were feeling every inch of your body be filled with anger 'cause of jay who referred to you as someone's puppy, you still found a tiny opportunity of pissing him off even more "why are you mad, then? you mad i'm gonna like heeseung more than you and your whole night of trying to pull something from me AND me will go to waste?" you gave jay a smirk to top it all off.

jay was waiting for you to say something else, hands in his pockets and tapping his foot, his eyebrow raised. now you really can't see anything in him, you can't read him if he's being serious or he's thinking of a comeback like the ass that he is, 'cause his serious face is on for a tough second now. you broke the silence into a gentle laughter as you placed your hands on his chest, you had to slightly tilt your head and neck up so you can look at him face-to-face, "i'm kidding, jay. ofcourse i'm having fun with this.. game or bachelorette shit suitor whatever you want to call it." you gave him an assuring smile then he gave back that assuring smile you just gave him. he placed his hands on your shoulders, "i'm glad to know that, i wouldn't want to waste my money on drinks for someone with no taste." jay gave you a silly expression, raising his brows up and down with his eyes squinted and his mouth forming a grin. you laughed at the sight and gave him playful slaps. "what are you doing?" you asked him in the middle of your laughing fits with him.

you both sat on an empty table. "no but i'm serious though, where's heeseung?" you attempted to ask again before hearing : "no but i was also serious earlier, what would you like to drink?" now that you finally put your mind to it, you're lost in what to drink. it's been such a long time since you drank and the last time someone asked you what you wanted to drink. "hmm i'm thinking, soju? grapefruit flavor... i want to keep things plain tonight." he paused before finally answering your question : "heeseung's there." he pointed from afar, near the bartender where heeseung was animatedly talking to a fashionable lady and a man who were seemingly of high ranks as well.

"i see," you subconsciously spoke, "if you don't mind me asking, i mean, you probably won't since we're getting to know each other; how did you become a CEO? what's heeseung's rank status and how did you two become friends?" jay inhaled then sighed heavily, "i'll tell once i take our drinks." he clicked his tongue and walked towards the bartender. but, he came back to you midway and placed his hands on the table, leaning towards you,

"are you gonna be okay here? alone?" this question made your heart race. never have your boyfriends you've dated in the past gave you this kind of persona where they subtly care, let alone just act like it. then, you burst out a chuckle, "uh, ofcourse i am? you and heeseung could literally see if i'm not. but thank you for asking, jay." you placed your hand on his as he lifted his other hand and placed it on top of yours. he gave you a very simple but heartmelting smile you'll ever remember. he walked away again, then turned back to you again.

"so sorry to ruin the mood for the both of us – me walking away while you sit here being in your feels 'cause of earlier, but i forgot your drink." you both shared a good minute of laughing and bickering, "jay, soju. grapefruit flavor." jay walked away once again, laughing to himself while you adoringly watched him. "that guy." you happily muttered under your breath, shaking your head.

[ 9:00PM ] – you checked the time right before you saw jay approach your table. a few seconds after he sat on his chair, a waiter approaches you both with the drinks on the tray. "one soju grapefruit and one brandy on the rocks." the waiter gently places the drinks one by one onto the table, next the napkins, then excused himself. "so, tell me everything." you took a sip and let out a sigh. "well, this is how everything started. seung and i, we go way back. cliche to say, i know, but back to the topic.

back then he's already a son of a remarkable man – a ceo, the owner of this complex. so he had an insight on how industry works." his statement earned a silent 'wow' from you. "we attended the same classes, being in the same circle of friends 'til it's just the two of us, we did everything together, even convincing my dad to let me stay up all night. pft, elementary days. anyway, we eventually graduated both. he was already an owner of a small business back in highschool 'til it grew into the famous brand we all know – chanel." wow. freaking chanel. at first, you weren't even believing his words 'cause of how ridiculously expensive everything sounds. "you gotta be kidding- chanel? the dress i'm wearing right now?" jay quietly nodded. you leaned back on your seat, keeping an anguished face. man, you're on the high leagues now.

"that was highschool, i only earned the title of being a ceo the day i graduated college – you know, dynasty. ofcourse i was experienced in dealing with everything a ceo does since my dad was one, and he's the one to teach me marketing strategies and such. but not as much as seung. he was literally the one to run everything, with his own hands, power, and ideas." jay holds his glass by the rim and starts to circle it around, mixing the melted ice with the brandy. "so, i really don't know how to react when people think i'm the superior one between us. maybe it's because he just looks goofy and acts so humble all the time. but if i'm being honest, i look up to heeseung a lot." a hint of admiration appears on your face. "wow, they must be really inseparable" you thought to yourself. "don't let him know that, though. that might egg him and mess with me about it for a few weeks. so, in short – heeseung is a sidekick-in-disguise. we become each other's wingman at times. just don't like it sometimes when he calls me out infront someone. so spiritually degrading."

you almost choked on your drink when he said the last bit in the middle of you sipping. "you two really act like brothers, that's for sure." he lets out a mischievous laughter, "yeah, right." the night was greatly spent with the both of you getting to know each other, with a few drinks being consumed due to elongated conversations. heeseung eventually joined the table and had a fun chat with you and jongseong. ahh, a thirdwheeler indeed.

come to think of it, everything is actually happening very fast – you just met this guy, now you're both sharing precious moments in a rooftop bar. it's like everything clicked just perfectly and now you're rolling with it 'cause it feels right. jay's kind too, you know. he really seemed much of a sarcastic jerk at times but, it just comes with his personality which is pretty unique and humorous. he knows when to joke and when to stop. and that's when you realized, you have interest in him.

the night ended with heeseung saying his goodbyes to you and jay before taking off in his limo and jay booking you an uber to your house. if you were honest, you wanted him to take you to your home personally since you have drank. though, he had too. it wouldn't be the best for him to drive since you could already see his tipsiness with the way he walks swaying his body to an unknown rhythm.

"thank you for tonight, jay. this is really memorable. and, i might take you up on your offer regarding the photoshoot tryout." you held up his business card he gave you to his face. "i had a good talk with you too, ms. _____. i have hopes in us meeting again, about business or not." he winked at you. you snickered at him 'cause he probably did that 'cause he was drunk... right? anyway, you gracefully sat inside the uber and said your goodbye to jongseong.

euphorica. where fashion has no limits. you scanned the business card he gave you and typed the digits in your phone. then the moment of silence with your driver went on 'til you came home. every lights you see on the streets looked brighter and happier, everything was colorful and your heart was jumping – looking back to everything that happened tonight. guess letting your guards down for tonight was a really great idea than you expected.

[ 2:00AM ] you're in your pajamas laying in your bed, staring at the ceiling of your high-end condominium. you couldn't sleep despite all the bottles of soju you consumed. all this insomnia made you finally decide about jay's offer. you tapped the saved number 'euphorica' on your phone. there, you started a chat.

"did this dude really just confess to me in his business number? wow. this man," you muttered to yourself. "i might change my mind just 'cause of his unprofessionalism..." you pause to yourself, "but... he really isn't the type to rush things. i mean... if he wanted to rush then he would've told me the story, right? right?" you catch yourself lacking. you were talking to yourself. *crying emoji* but in reality, you were right. who knew? maybe he just found you really pretty FOR his fashion collection. not as a potential girlfriend. but what's important for you at this moment is that, your career is now ongoing under fashionable mr. jongseong's hold. you finally drifted to sleep after closure.

Fluttering Machinery | Robot! Sunghoon AU

Genre: Fluff, mild angst

Pairings: Robot! Sunghoon x Reader

Warnings: Character death, little suggestive content

Synopsis: Sunghoon was a humanoid built by your father, with the sole purpose of taking care of you once he passes away. But it seems like taking care of you came with discovering emotions that wasn't necessary for cooking, cleaning, and keeping you safe. What is this warm fuzzy feeling that resonates deep inside Sunghoon's mechanism?

It's been months. 6 dreadful months since your father has passed away. The doctors have warned you that he didn't have much time left, but that didn't make the goodbyes hurt any less.

You were 4 years old when your mom left you and your father for another guy. A more successful guy. Your father was bright, with an insatiable hunger for discovery and invention. But his field of work didn't always bring food to the table. And so on most days you had to, well, compromise.

But you loved your father so much, and still do. Although you didn't grow up to be a scientist like him, you knew the basics on automation and robotics. You were 11 years old when you first saw it, the humanoid that he worked on for years came to life before your own very eyes.

He had no skin nor face that made him look human yet. Just a chunk of metal with a head, arms and legs that moved mechanically. Nevertheless, you will never forget the joy and pride in your fathers' face as he watched his creation. The humanoid was a work in progress and you knew one day he's going to change the world. Unbeknownst to you, he was going to change your world.

And now here you are, years into the present as you stood infront of the humanoid who had his eyes shut. Yep, he's a he now. He is Humanoid SH-1282. Your father made him for the purpose of serving the community, to help people. But when he discovered his illness, he started making alterations to his design. He made SH-1282 to serve as the perfect companion, but only to you.

He filled the humanoid's hard drive with everything that he'll need to help you and take care of you. He input cooking, cleaning, and even martial arts. You sighed, remembering your father's last words.

"I'm gonna leave him in your care now, err leave you in his care or whatever. Take good care of each other okay? I love you both so much."

You were such a crybaby, holding on to your father's arm as the nurses were ushering you to wait outside because the doctors are about to perform surgery.

"You'll be okay." Your father mouthed as he smiled knowingly in content.

You reach for the humanoid's neck to find the power button, finally deciding to activate him after holding it off for months.

You held your breath as his eyes open, immediately scanning his surroundings. His eyes land on you, a smile forms on his lips.

"Hi, I'm SH-1282. It's nice to finally meet you, Y/N." He said naturally, offering his hand. If you didn't know any better, you would think he was a normal boy.

You let out a shaky breath as you accept his hand. He frowns, it seems like he is studying your facial expression and posture.

"You seem like you are in distress. Are you alright?" He asks in concern.

"Yeah, I am." You reply weakly.

"Will a hug improve your mood?" He asks. He was programmed to know about the benefits of physical intimacy, but he was also programmed to know consent and so he will not do anything unless you want to.

You contemplated, biting your lip.

"No, thank you." He simply nods, stepping out of his charging port.

"Will you show me around the house?" He asks and you nod.

"Damn this feels so awkward." You think to yourself.

"So here's the living room." You say as SH-1282 takes a good look around the area, his eyes falling to the dirty coffee table with tons of papers stacked messily. The couch looked greasy, with breadcrumbs stuck to the sides of the couch cushions. He scrunches his nose, involuntarily adding a new emotion to his database: disgust.

And as you led him to the kitchen, this emotion intensifies as he sees the containers of Chinese takeouts and cup ramen littered around the counter. He walks to the fridge and finds it empty except for a carton of milk that you put into your cereal for breakfast.

This awakens another emotion for the humanoid, frustration. He pinches the bridge of his nose as he contemplates on what to do with the mess, aka you.

"This won't do. You have been living unhealthily which may reduce your chances of living a long life."

You scoff, "Excuse me?" He gives you a dead stare, an eyebrow raised.

"No, excuse me while I clean up all this. I'll leave you to your own devices, thank you for showing me around today." He says sassily as he goes to find where you hide your cleaning utensils. You stood there dumbfounded.

"Unbelievable." But you let him be anyway. He wasn't wrong, you've been a total mess this past few months but that was all because of the grief. You basically had no family now.

And so for the rest of the day, you lock yourself in your room and do homework. About 5pm, you hear a soft knock at your door.

"Hello, it's me. Can you spare me a minute? I have something to ask of you." You inwardly groan, not really wanting to face the humanoid.

"Can you accompany me to get groceries? I swear this will only happen one time. It is only because I am not yet accustomed to my location. But after I mentally note the directions, you won't have to come with me next time." He didn't really want to bother you, but he knew that going out by himself and getting lost will be much more bothersome for you.

"Sure thing, just let me change into— oh no, you have no other clothes. It's kinda chilly outside today." You mentally facepalm yourself. Why didn't I go shopping for men clothes first before activating him?

"That is fine, I am immune to any temperature." He says as-a-matter-of-fact. You roll your eyes.

"I know that but people will probably get suspicious to see a man walking around in a shirt and jeans when everybody else has coats on. We need you to fit in as much as possible."

You search for your father's old coat that you refused to throw away even months after he's passed.

"Sorry dad, but he kinda needs this right now." And so you dress the humanoid in your oversized university sweatshirt (which surprisingly fits him perfectly) and your father's old coat.

"How do I look? Will I fit in now?" He asks as he scans his appearance in the mirror.

"You look—" absolutely breathtaking. You had every urge to slap yourself. Your father really didn't play around when he made the humanoid's face. He could pass up as an idol. And the cute little mole on his nose was a good addition to his features that made him even more realistic.

"Great. People won't suspect a thing."

The two of you head out. Contrary to your expectations that he would marvel at everything he sees outside, he just casually looks around. You ride the bus together, and the humanoid processes everything that you do, noting how everything works.

What caught you by surprise though, is how he immediately stands up in instinct to let an old lady sit down in his place. He sure was programmed with manners and chivalry. You smiled at the thought.

You made your way inside the grocery store, only intended to grab a basket but the humanoid insisted on a push cart.

"We have so much to buy, I've taken a mental note of everything we'll need." You simply roll your eyes and let him push the cart around as you wandered behind him. You look around as he reads the nutritional facts of every single thing he sees.

"This is definitely going to take a while." You muttered.

"Y/N? Is that you?" A voice squealed. You hissed and attempted to turn away, pretending you didn't see her. The humanoid saw how you reacted and swiftly rushed to your side in a protective stance. The stranger eyes the humanoid, her eyes sparkling at the sight of such a gorgeous man.

"Why hello there. Y/N you didn't tell me you've been busy with your boyfriend, we haven't hung out in a while." Both of your eyes widened at the misunderstanding.

"Oh, no he's not— we aren't—" You tried to explain but she just laughed out loud.

"Look how flustered you are. You know what, it's okay. But we have a lot of catching up to do!" She said, squishing your cheeks in a playful manner.

"So what's your name, handsome stranger?" She asks, turning to the confused humanoid.

"I'm S—"

"Sunghoon! His name is Sunghoon." You blurted out. Sunghoon was the name of your childhood crush when you were like 7 but that'll have to do. Unfortunately, it seems that the humanoid got even more confused.

"I am Y/N's—"

"Neighbor. He lives next door to my apartment. I was just showing him around because he just recently moved into the city." You say quickly. She can't know that you're living with a guy. Even if said guy wasn't human.

"Awww how sweet of you to go shopping with your neighbor." She said, winking at you. She's definitely not convinced.

"I'm Yeonmi, Y/N's friend." She introduced, offering her hand to Sunghoon. He took her hand reluctantly.

"You mean my super obnoxious friend." You roll your eyes.

"Shut up, you love me." She teased. Admittedly, you've been avoiding her for months now. Ever since your father passed, it was as if you didn't want to deal with anyone anymore, with the fear of being left behind again. So you shut everyone out. You know it was a very selfish move and must've made everyone worry, but you have yet to figure out how to fix things back to how it is.

You said your goodbyes not without a long, tight hug from Yeonmi and Sunghoon noticed from his scanners how your vitals greatly improved from it. This made him feel another new emotion: relief. He was very thankful for your friend who made you feel better.

You continue venturing down the aisle of food, and you find the humanoid smiling to himself. He notices your attention on him and he shakes his head, as if shrugging his thoughts off.

"What?" You asked.

"You gave me a name. Although I'm unsure if it is necessary, thank you." He says genuinely as he smiles at you, your heart skipping a beat.

"You're welcome, Sunghoon." You smiled back.

He picked up lots of fruits and vegetables, with you whining the whole time. Your whines unlocked another emotion of his; annoyance.

"No wonder her father thought she is in need of taking care of, she acts like a child." He concludes, running his fingers through his hair as he lets you get an ice cream of your choice. Oddly, seeing a bright smile on your face as you show him what flavor you got seems to put him at ease.

The two of you got home at dawn, with quickly stacking up the groceries into the cabinets and fridge, with you slumping down on the now squeaky clean couch.

It had been quite a long day and you found yourself dozing off. You woke up from the light tap on your shoulder, eyes fixating on Sunghoon with your apron wrapped around his torso.

"I could get used to this." You thought, admiring how adorable the humanoid looked but quickly pushing the thoughts away.

"Sorry to wake you, it's time for dinner." He announces and you lazily nodded, not before yawning and stretching your arms.

"Uhh, what is this?" You asked, eyeing your plate.

"It's your dinner." He says nonchalantly, expecting you to start eating. Your face shows utter disgust at the plate of vegetables.

"Please don't make me eat that." You begged. Sunghoon rolls his eyes; a trait he adapted from spending just a day with you.

"Don't be dramatic, vegetables are good for you." He states, taking the plate from you and attempting to feed you.

"Come on, say ah." He says playfully. After realizing how much you acted like a child, he researched on how to take care of children and downloaded it into his database. You scrunch your nose, leaning away from the food and shooting him a glare.

"Sunghoon, I'm not a kid." You deadpanned.

"Oh, but you won't get your ice cream if you don't eat this." He says, pouting at you teasingly. He's really good at this. With a sigh, you open wide and allow him to feed you.

"Yep, definitely a kid." He thinks to himself as he smiles in satisfaction, another emotion unlocked.

That night, you decided to move his charging port (with his help) from the lab into the spare room of the apartment.

"You know, I'm completely okay with staying at the lab." He reasoned but you quickly hush him.

"Nope. That is no way to treat a person. You deserve your own room, okay? A room that you can fill with your own stuff and decorate with your own preferences. End of discussion." You sassed as you fix his charging port into place. Sunghoon blinked at you, unable to express how grateful he is of how kind you are to him.

"She wants to treat me like a real human being." He thinks, his mechanical heart overwhelmed with gratitude.

Days went on with a routine, with him cleaning all day and you attending online classes. There were occasional bumps in the road, with you getting annoyed with how much of a neat freak he is and him getting irritated with how lazy you are at taking care of yourself. You've also taught him how to watch tv, deciding not to let him use the internet yet because he might gain too much unnecessary information online.

And so on a saturday night, you sat together on the couch as you watched figure skating competitions. Sunghoon was at complete awe the whole time, studying how the skaters moved through the ice.

"I want to skate too." He states absentmindedly, attention still on the television. You smiled, thinking how it was the first time he actually said he wanted something.

"Then let's do it, let's go skating tomorrow." You say, his head immediately shot to you.

"What, really?" Sunghoon asks in disbelief, his eyes widening.

"Yes, really. Although I'm warning you, I don't know how to skate." You laughed, with him chuckling as well.

"Then we'll learn together." He promises.

What a total lie that is. He didn't need to learn, as you watched him move swiftly against the ice, the wind in his hair as he circled around, his focused eyes twinkling in the fairy lights. He looked ethereal. You could have sworn there were tears there as you cheered him on like a proud momma. Ah, they grew up so fast.

People at the park also stopped to watch Sunghoon, whispering about how talented the young man is. His eyes caught yours, and you weren't sure if you were seeing things but you thought you saw him send you a wink and smile.

"The TV been teaching him things." You muttered, blushing but not from the cold. Sunghoon skates towards you, pulling you with him. You're eyes widened in fear.

"N-no Sunghoon I can't—" but he was already leading you through the ice, eyes never leaving yours.

"You can." He whispers, taking you by the waist as he spun you around. You giddily laughed as you threw your arms out, savouring the chilly air. You didn't even notice the people watching and cooing at you as some joined in as well.

That night, Sunghoon felt something he never felt before, and you in a long time. You felt happy.

"Say aaaah~" Sunghoon said as he fed you chicken soup. You caught a cold from skating yesterday and now you're wrapped in a super cozy blanket with Sunghoon worrying about you.

"You know I can feed myself right?" You said, swallowing the food.

"I know, but I just feel responsible because I was the one who wanted to skate. You got sick because of me, and that kinda defeats my purpose because I'm supposed to be keeping you healthy." He rambled. You roll your eyes at him.

"Colds are normal, okay? Besides, I haven't had that much fun in a while. Thank you for that, Sunghoon." You say, reaching up to tussle his hair playfully. He froze, cogs in his mind unable to process as something inside him stirred, but in a pleasant way.

"So you dance while rubbing your body on a stranger?" Sunghoon questions, but he's not sure if he wants to know the answer. Tonight, you wore a simple black dress that teasingly showed a little bit of cleavage and a decent length of fabric that hugged tightly around your upper thighs but had a daringly high slit. Sunghoon approves and disapproves at the same time.

"Yeah, it's kinda like that. But don't worry, I won't be doing that. I'll just stay by the bar the whole time." You reassured as you struggled to put on your strappy heels. Sunghoon kneels down infront of you and helps you clasp the straps around your ankles, handling it very delicately. Your heart thumps as he looks up at you.

"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?" He asks for the fifth time as he follows you around the house like a puppy. You sigh, actually considering it. Although it was supposed to be a girl's night according to Yeonmi, you thought maybe having Sunghoon tag along wouldn't do harm.

But it did. It did harm to you, alright. And you wanted to harm those girls who kept on grinding their asses onto Sunghoon as slow, sexy music played. You were fuming, regretting dressing Sunghoon in such fashion that screamed big D energy. Why am I being so possessive? But then again, Sunghoon does look uncomfortable. I should go save him. Yeah, I'll do that.

"Hold my drink." You tell Yeonmi as you made your way to Sunghoon.

"You go girl! Get your man!" Yeonmi cheered drunkly.

Your train of thoughts were blurred by the alcohol as you struggled to walk straight. You had only one clear thought in mind: Sunghoon. I need to get to Sunghoon.

Sunghoon stood uncomfortably, eyeing the girls who rubbed their bossoms and derriere all over him. Is this supposed to be fun? He thinks innocently. He sees you walking towards him, swaying your hips side by side as you strode towards him like a predator.

Girls hovering around him going unnoticed as you were the only one he could see.

Stunning, beautiful. He thought.

"Hey handsome, care to dance?" You asked, pulling him to you before he could even answer. The girls spat at you, telling you to 'get in line' but you just shot them a smug look.

"Sorry ladies." Sunghoon apologized, but his smile told otherwise as he let you pull him away from them.

"You don't know how badly I wanted to get away from—" He froze in his spot as you wrap your arms around his neck, inching closer than ever before. You felt bold, but maybe that was just the alcohol in your system. And as you started moving your body against Sunghoon, you knew it wasn't just you who felt the heat. His large palms go down south, resting on your swaying hips as both of you moved to the sultry rhythm.

His mechanism was going nuts, threatening to malfunction as his sensors detected your very close proximity to him. Whatever you were playing, it was dangerous. But Sunghoon couldn't help but to want more, to desire more.

"Y/N." He whispers, and you look up at him with half lidded eyes. And damn did he find you so sexy right there, under the strobe lights. No girl in the club could ever compare.

"Home?" You suggested.

"Home." He agrees.

As you got in the cab, you immediately find yourself half straddling Sunghoon's lap as you attempt to kiss him. Luckily, Sunghoon can think clearer now and concludes that a drunk Y/N is a very horny Y/N. And though the thought that it was only the alcohol that made you want him made him feel sad, he knew it was wrong to demand such things from you.

And so with your futile attempts to get into his pants, he gently lays your head on his shoulder and hugs you to keep you still. But even that couldn't stop you from squirming to get away from his hold, trying to get some action. He chuckles as he held your hand tightly in his to prevent it from landing into his crotch.

"Now now, you have to stay put. I won't be taking advantage of your state." He scolds gently. And by the time the cab had stopped in front of the building of your apartment, you were fast asleep in Sunghoon's arms.

Times like these were when Sunghoon is glad he was made of aluminum. He scooped you up in his arms like a pillow as he walked up to your apartment. You snuggled up into his chest, looking so innocent as you soaked up his warmth. Sunghoon cooed about how adorable you are, talking to you in your sleep.

He placed you delicately on your bed, contemplating whether to change your clothes or not. He decided not to, noting how your privacy is important to you. You're too drunk and asleep to give him permission right now anyway. He took off your heels and wiped your makeup off very gently, and tucked you in properly.

Long minutes pass as he studies your face, stroking your hair softly as the corners of his mouth lift up unconsciously. He really loves taking care of you. He loves you.

This realization hits him like a truck of overwhelming emotions, but it all makes sense to him now.

"I love you, Y/N." He whispers, leaving a soft kiss on your forehead before retiring to his own room.
