»»——————————-——————————————-««
you couldn’t help but think to yourself.
was it the way he walked? the way he held his head so high that his fluffy hair almost touched the clouds? was it the way he thought the world revolved around him? his cocky aura screaming ‘look at me! look at me!!’?
and yet, he was nothing like you had imagined. saying that second “yes” completely warped your world – how much longer can I stick to this friend with benefits thing?
the thought spurred a memory of how you first met. somehow… you ended up in his clutches. he was the boy who wandered the corridors, his disciples in toe, and nobody could touch him. except somehow… you did. well, kind of.
you remember it clear as day. it was a thursday night, your fluffy socks rested against the hard wood of your coffee table in front of you as you chatted on facetime to your parents. when your stomach grumbled, so loud that maeum, your fluffy chow-chow, lifted her head from against the armrest with curiosity as to wear the sound came from. such inquisitive eyebrows for a nonchalant pup that barely batted an eyelash unless you were filling her dinner bowl.
“even we heard that…” your dad’s smile filled the screen, a light teasing in his tone. you thought to yourself when the last time you ate was… it hadn’t been today.
“why don’t you head out and grab something good for yourself from the convenience store? I know you don’t cook for yourself, my baby.” your mother’s disapproving tone caused your eyes to roll -- miles away and she still nagged about the fact you ate nothing but instant noodles if you could be bothered.
“okay, ma. I’ll go do that. thank you for your concern.” short and snappy, your patience wore thin. probably because she was right and you were absolutely ready to devour some food.
a few air kisses later, and you were gliding the zipper up to just beneath your nose, the sherpa material insulating all heat it could as you brace yourself for the bitter cold. maeum’s tail wiggled excitedly in anticipation, her harness wrapped snuggly against her fur. “come on then,” you giggled at the way she span around energetically as you unlocked your front door. she practically knew the route to the convenience store by now… for a 6-month old chow, she was very intuitive.
out the door. down the hall. press the call button and wait for the elevator with patience. get into the elevator (you had to carry her if it was too busy but she didn’t mind too much). leave your apartment complex and turn left and keep going until the bright lights of the store appeared with a ‘fresh food prepared daily’ sign like a saving grace.
the owner didn’t mind of maeum came into the store, often bending down to give her treats and pets. maeum always leaned into anyone’s affection. it was her favourite time of day.
your airpods blasted your hype playlist, something you did when you needed self-reassurance. walking out of the store, maeum in toe, you rummaged through your bag of snacks, pulling out one of the many samgak kimbap you picked up. the crisp evening put you off sitting outside with a hot meal, plus maeum would attract too many people for your isolated personality to handle. the coo’s and aww’s often got worse as the night went on.
it wasn’t too long of a journey home, but something about the evening air caused you to walk slower and appreciate the serene surroundings. high school kids stumbling out of the noraebang that you often frequented in your days. being drunk on sugary snacks and endless cokes while you sang your little heart out. the snack in your hand tasted almost nostalgic as you remembered the nights you sat for hours outside the convenience store, hoping a kind stranger might sneak you a bottle or two of soju. those were the days you had friends to hang out with, but since you moved closer to seoul for university, they hadn’t bothered to keep in contact. you spent your days sitting alone in class, hoping your professor wouldn’t tell you to pair yourselves up. you were the only person that sighed in relief when they mentioned that they’d pre-assigned partners.
a low growl sounded over your music, with maeum halting in her tracks. it was only as maeum barked so loudly that you paid attention to what was happening. the bike headed straight for you. the rumble of its engine overwhelmed you as you realised you had stepped into the road without checking for oncoming traffic. yelping, you jumped back, pulling maeum abruptly, just quick enough for her to be missed. but it sent you flying onto your ass, a dull throb aching at the impact.
“are you okay?!” a shout from the direction of the motorbike filled your ears, the engine shutting off and footsteps getting closer.
“I’m fine,” you huffed, using your arms to twist your body with difficulty. your tailbone really throbbed as your face morphed into instant regret. you were turning to face the person clad in a helmet and biker jacket that hugged their body tightly in the frosty air.
“umm - I wasn’t talking to you.” you could just make out their eyes in the gap, slightly squinted in apprehension. when they turned their attention to maeum, you realised that look wasn’t for you. maeum, who sat sweetly with her tail wagging, front paws perched on their knees began to lick the helmet off them, only finding purchase in the gap that showed their mysterious eyes. traitor.
it was only when you heard the low chuckle that your attention turned back to the owner of the bike, heart stopping in its tracks for a small second. they reached out to ruffle the abundance of fur that framed maeum’s face, carefully checking for any scrabs or marks from the almost accident.
“hey there, friend! i’m sorry I almost hit you,” their tone emphasised the frown hidden by their helmet. it was only then did they reach up to lift the helmet off their head. and the breath you were about to let out hitched in your throat.
this mysterious biker wasn’t a stranger. he was the notorious bad boy that walked your universities halls, his minions in toe and never batted an eyelash to anyone who showed an interest in him. the one whose name you feared would be called out after yours in pairing for a class project. the one who probably didn’t even know you existed.
he was hwang in-yeop. and your bulging eyes that almost fell out of their sockets told him that you knew that already.
but, little did you know that the moment his leg flung off his bike to check you were okay, he realised who you were too. the one who sat at the front of the class with their pencil knocking in a continuous rhythm against the desk, a sound he realised rang inches louder in his mind compared to the rest of the class. he noticed the way your eyes glistened as you focused on what your professor was saying. he also figured out you never paid attention to anyone else, you sat alone with no intention to allow anyone into your bubble unless they were forced to. he actually hoped his name would be called out after yours.
his question of concern died in his throat when he saw it was you. those glistening eyes still sparkling despite the obvious annoyance in your expression. so he trailed off to pay attention to the adorable fluff beside him, luckily he adored dogs.
your embarrassment flushed in the apples of your cheeks, the heat almost melting the rim of your glasses that rested against the bridge of your nose. “maeum - come on, leave him alone.”
you lifted yourself up, trying not to show the pain. gathering your spilt snacks back into the bag, you stood up stretching your legs. but it difficult not to look at inyeop. his head was tilted slightly as he gazed up at you, this time the apprehension focused on you. was he concerned? he should be! he almost knocked you over!!
quickly, he stood himself, handing maeum’s fallen harness back to you.
“thanks,” you took it back quickly.
“you’re welcome.” his attention was still focused on maeum, who was jumped up at the bag in your hand hoping there was something inside for her.
the silence was excruciating. in the two years you’d known each other, this was the first time any contact had been made. and it was almost unbearable.
“uhhh- thanks again, sorry we almost got you into an accident,” you tried again, reaching into your bag to pick out a snack to give him as a peace offering. although he annoyed you, you realised you should’ve been looking where you were going - at least for maeum.
he took the can that laid flat on your palm slowly, afraid you were just teasing. but you let him take it without reluctance.
“do you- uhh…” he started.
“hmm?” your head raised sharply to turn your attention to him, the snacks in your bag long forgotten.
“do you… do I.. know you?” he tried again. if he was nervous, you could barely sense it. although he was stumbling over his words, his eyes were narrowed in scrutiny, analysing your every feature. he knew exactly where he knew you from, the flick of your pen ringing in the back of his mind. any excuse to keep you beside him longer.
“probably… you’re in my criminology class. although I doubt you’ve ever actually paid attention to anything in that class, let alone me.”
he scoffed, eyes rolling up into the heavens. you really were bold. “that’s quite the assumption.” a smirk so prominent it has sketched its way into your brain, all the way down to the subtle shading of the dimples that outlines the corners of his lips.
you ignored him, focusing on maeum for a moment as she sat beside your feet in a fluffy ball, eyes glittering expectantly at inyeop. you followed her gaze, landing specifically on the creases that lined his eyes as he analysed you. you huffed. “which way are you headed?”
he tilted his head to look over your shoulder at his bike sitting idly on the side of the road. “well, before I was interrupted I was on my way to a party.” and then his eyes met yours. “why? do you want to come?” his signature smirk appeared, the one you caught glimpses of every so often.
you hesitated, the thought of being anywhere remotely sociable filling you with dread. you became nervous in seconds “I- uhh. I was going to say I’d treat you to dinner because of the accident I almost caused…” you were shy, you admit. he couldn’t understand how someone who can barely look him in the eye could be so bold.
your offer caused his heart to do a single backflip; that was more of a reaction than any other, he couldn’t recall this kind of reaction from anyone else. to say the least, he was intrigued by the person who sat at the front of class. “do me a deal.”
“hmm? a deal?” shimmering eyes, etched into his mind.
“you treat me to dinner, and I’ll take you to the party.”
he was met with silence, searching your eyes as you lulled over the thought in your head. right now?
it was almost like he could read your mind. “we could make it a recurring thing… you can make up for me almost hurting not only you but this gorgeous ball of fluff” your heart leaped when he crouched down to rub between maeum’s ears with affection, even more so when he looked back up at you. “… and I’ll teach you how to be sociable.”
“oooh! kinda like a friends with benefits thing?!” you grinned, excited by the fact that you may not have to feel so alone anymore.
his grin widened at your exclaim, certain you weren’t sure exactly what you had just said… “sure… like friends with benefits… are you in?”
and that was how you ended up in the clutches of the notorious bad boy.
»»——————————-——————————————-««
those around you witnessed a flourishing friendship; you were attached at the hip. your five o’clock walks by the beach were met with his bubbly personality, maeum pleased with having someone else to chase the waves with. you finally had someone to sit beside in class, his signature smirk plastered on his face as the whispers of students wondered who on earth their designated bad boy was sat beside.
it got to the point that you remember the little things. he always ordered extra cheesey tteok because you always added extra onto your own. you packed extra heat packs when you knew he’d be joining you. he started turning up three minutes early because he knew that was how long it took you to get from your apartment to the lobby, where he’d be waiting for you with an extra coffee for you in hand. he knew to wear an extra sweater to the party because you always left without a jacket and would complain of the cold despite the countless shots you had consumed. you noticed that when his foot began to tap as the horrifically drunk girl in front of him continued to run her hand down his bicep, he wanted out, so you always stepped in to play the jealous ex.
as the little things continued to build up, your feelings flourished alongside them.
not that you ever did anything about them.
until one night it was clear that things weren’t as they used to be. inyeop had dragged you into an unoccupied room at the party, away from the sleaze who was hitting on you.
“what the fuck are you doing?!” you cursed, something you didn’t usually do. it must’ve been the alcohol that coursed through your veins, and the slight haze that the drunk guy’s breath washed over you.
“what am I doing?! what were you just doing out there?!” he grabbed your arm again, you swayed slightly, trying really hard to focus on his eyes.
you smiled at his tone, it was flittered with desperation. “why… what was I doing?”
he couldn’t fight off the annoyance that washed over him at the light smirk that graced your lips. you had been spending far too much time with him, his cockiness was starting to rub off on you.
“you were literally throwing yourself all over that guy!! everyone was watching you!!!” although he knew you weren’t stable on your feet, he shook your shoulders with emphasis.
and the moment you may have changed everything. his face was so close to yours that you could feel his exasperated breath against your cheekbones.
“were you watching?” you shot back.
his eyes widened so much his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. “what…”
it came out as a whisper, so quiet you almost didn’t hear it. his eyes began to glisten, the only hint of innocence he could ever show. you turned his world upside down more than he could have ever imagined.
“I was just having fun, yeop.” your taunting was over.
his head shook abruptly like he was trying to shake the thoughts from his mind. your finger reached up to tap the tip of his nose, the bright smile forming on your lips was impossible to not mirror.
he sighed drastically, a giggle escaping your throat. “can we just go back now… I’ll drop you home. I want to see maeum.”
and like that, you were being dragged out of the house quicker than your feet could keep up. along the way, he had slid his leather jacket over your shoulders as he always did. the walk home was silent as you matched your steps along the path. the low hum of the city began to sober you up, inyeop quietly singing to himself.
since that first party on the night he almost crashed into you, inyeop made it a habit to walk you back. at first, you thought it was because he parked his bike outside your apartment complex. you soon realised there was a caring side behind his bad boy facade that kept everyone else hooked. they clearly didn’t see the soft bean that was for your eyes only. he had become your best friend, and he cared about you just as much as you did him.
he sensed your aura change from beside him, head turning to see the smile light up your face. “what are you grinning about?” his own lips quirked in response to your happy expression.
“not much… just remembering the night you almost sent me and maeum flying.”
he halted abruptly. “hey! you admitted that night was entirely your fault!”
you held your hands up in mocking surrender, “okay! okay… I did admit that…”
he went silent for a moment. and then said something that shocked you; not because of ill intentions, but because you finally realised that that night didn’t just change your life.
“I don’t regret it.”
his eyes were genuine. and you returned the small smile he offered in silent appreciation for one another.
and then the heavens opened.
the mad dash to your apartment was filled with laughter and shrieks from you both. feet slapping against the puddles on the ground as you passed through the lobby doors. your hair clumped in damp strands over your eyes as you began to ring out your damp clothing. inyeop’s jacket became heavy on your shoulders.
“you can’t go home in that. come up for a minute while it settles and you can dry off a little.”
his eyebrows wiggled suggestively in response earning a shove from you.
maeum was overly excited to see inyeop. almost as if you were scotch mist. as he crouched down to give her affection, you headed for your cupboard, pulling out a couple of warm towels for you both to dry off.
you found inyeop lying on his back by the front door, shoes half off with maeum lying on top of his chest giving him her utmost attention. he was mumbling away to himself and giggling.
“what are you laughing about?” the towel landed on his face, earning a scowl from his raindrop stained face.
he then started laughing to himself again.
“what?!” you exclaimed.
“nothing!” he defended, the smile still evident on his lips. you waited, eyebrow raised in questioning.
“it's just… what you said down there got me thinking about something.” you waited again, the silence beckoning more of an explanation for his madness.
he shrugged his sweater off, pulling it from the scruff of the neck over his head. one small flutter.
he proceeded to rush the towel through his hair, biceps flexing in the process. two small flutters.
the whole time, his eyes never flickered from yours. it was the ultimate taunting staredown that caused the third flutter.
you broke the silence first. “thinking about what?”
he neatly folded the towel and placed it over the back of the chair to dry off, his hair sticking up in all sorts of directions. in two quick strides, he was stood in front of you, toes touching and fingers reaching for the dry towel you held tightly in your clutches.
quietly, he ran the towel through your hair, careful to focus on drying it completely so that you didn’t get a cold. from just below his chin, you had the perfect view of his features as his eyebrows etched in concentration. you were dying to know what exactly was going through his mind. you cleared your through in an attempt to drag him out of his thoughts.
“well. downstairs you said something that reminded me of something you said before.” you nodded, indicating for him to elaborate. “when we first met, the night you walked out into the road. you asked me if we could be friends with benefits.”
a deep pink flushed in your cheeks as your hands flew up to cover them. his eyes met yours as the embarrassment washed over you. gotcha.
“I did not say that?!” you tried but the bellow that came from inyeop proved just how much he was enjoying seeing his best friend squirm. he knew back then exactly what you meant, but the thought that anything more could ever come between you haunted him since that day.
“that was what… half a year ago now. you were so innocent back then.” his hands dropped from drying your hair, but not within brushing under your chin quickly in taunt.
you were annoyed. you knew inyeop enjoyed teasing you but surely this was too far. your thoughts drew back to early that night when he pulled you away from the guy you had flirted with because you saw him watching. when you teased him, it was the only time you’d ever seen him hesitate. and you enjoyed it.
“I’m not innocent anymore,” you taunted. eyes narrowed into your own, inyeop focused on read your thoughts as he tried not to react. but he couldn’t help it. for the last few months, you played with each other until you almost crossed the line. but the thought of crossing the line, even just once, left a dull burning in his stomach.
“is that right?” he retorted, eyebrow raised as his face seemingly inched closer to yours.
“mmhm.” it was all you could say. your nose filled with the cologne he was wearing, it was a mix of warming vanilla, swirls of cinnamon and just… him. “how enchanting,” you muttered lowly, he didn’t hear anything.
he was too focused on the way your eyes flickered between his, searching for some kind of each. you were in the same position, you always were. seeing which one of you broke first. but he also knew it would be him. so then came his next words.
“okay… prove it.”
a gasp escaped your throat, a mixture of shock and a sudden craving for touch. “what?” it came out as a whisper.
“prove you’re not innocent. maybe we can expand on that friends with benefits deal we made.” he wasn’t holding back. he had done for far too long, constantly tiptoeing on the tension that could light up this entire apartment building.
your fingers inched closer to him, both for support in your knees that were about to buckle, but also with the overwhelming desire to make contact. his white tshirt clung perfectly to his torso. one night couldn’t hurt.
“okay,” you agreed. but held your hand up to his face quickly to stop him from leaning in. “but! it’s a one time thing. you said you could teach me things so we’ll treat it as that.” excuse after excuse poured out of you before you could stop it, fear that your feelings would multiply the moment his lips met yours.
his lips quirked slightly as he nodded in agreement. but as soon as he got a taste, it was like something was yelling from within, a burning desire that laid idly for so long threatening to overflow. his fingers grappled at the curve of your jaw to keep him grounded. your own pulled at the hem of his shirt, a silent begging for the moment you had both thought about but never acted upon.
your body flushed against his, he barely let go to pull his shirt over his head with one hand, the other planted in a grip at your waist. your lips parted momentarily only to be chasing after one another the moment the white material met the floor. he guided you blindly, knowing your apartment by the back of his hand, your lips locked in a desperate embrace.
the moment your knees hit the end of the bed, you fell backwards hitting the comforter softly. inyeop stood over you, quietly taking in your appearance below him. his eyebrow quirked with his signature smirk making an appearance.
“you sure you just want this to be a one time thing?” his fingers traced up your thigh in taunt.
you groaned and pulled him down to you, “shut up.”
and the night went on, whispers of affection, lips tracing across the plains of each other's skin as he showed you how the gods lived, and you proved to him your innocence melted away at the flick of his fingers. you decided then that you were wrong. it couldn’t be a one time thing. because the moment his lips reached for your own, any unease washed away as you were met with the melting pools of his eyes.
this was something only the two of you shared. the subtle touches and flirtation from the previous months finally adding up.
the clock flashed in the darkness, indicating that you were approaching the fourth hour of the day. inyeop’s fingers traced down your sides subconsciously as he pressed delicate kisses into your shoulder. you had laid in silence for what felt like hours, basking in each other’s warmth and sudden bursts of giggles as you reached for each other. you were wrapped up in everything about him - his delicate touch, his intoxicating scent, his plush lips that barely left any part of your body untouched.
it was him that broke the silence, pulling you to turn into his embrace, noses brushing as your heads rested against the same pillow. “that was fun.”
you giggled against his lips, his bluntness causing flowers to bloom in your chest. “it was.”
he exhaled slowly, fingers coming up to push your bangs away from your eyes, fingers grazing over your eyebrows. he realised his fingers moved subconsciously to smooth out the frown lines that were usually there… but were far from it in these early hours of the night.
“what do you think… about all this.” he questioned, hoping you didn’t regret the last few hours.
“it was… interesting.” you giggled as the worry on his face faded at your response. “we could… uh- make it a thing.”
“a thing?” he wiggled his eyebrows for the second time that night, suggestively hinting to you.
“yes, a thing.”
“like.. our thing?” his the pads of his fingers wandered the high points of your cheeks until he met your lips, brushing over them nonchalantly.
“sure. our thing.”
he was mesmerised by how your lips moved under his touch, silently scolding himself for not being this bold sooner. you were merely adding another layer onto your friendship, no strings attached.
but his eyes focused solely on your lips, the way they curved when you smiled, only at him. “how enchanting.” he whispered.
and that was how your arrangement began. best friends outside of these four walls. best friends with a twist the moment you stepped in through the door.
you often found yourself making excuses to remain in your apartment. simply sitting together and reading was enough for you, subtle touches coming with time as you tried to focus on the page in front of you.
but, trying to get his attention once he was engrossed in a book was difficult. you never expected the so-called bad boy to be a softy for mysterious quests and fending off evil. then again, that was one of the raging stereotypes inyeop constantly diminished.
maeum rested her head against his shoulder as she laid across the top of the sofa, tiny beige fur tickling his neck as she stretched out but he didn’t mind. maybe if you gave attention to maeum he might get a little jealous?
your intense stare, that was supposed to be for her, was often warped by the way his eyebrow quirked at a funny line, or his jawline sharpening abruptly as he stretched his neck from sitting in the same spot all day. his fingers grazing your ankle didn’t help the situation at all. until he caught you staring.
he lifted his head that was previously buried in Legends of Condor Heroes, his hand falling to his lap as he turned to you. his head hit the back of the sofa when his gaze pooled into your own; they glistened, his eyes, something it took you a long time to notice. he’d tell you it happened the moment you said yes… but you’d argue that it was there all along, the walls he built up disguising it from the world.
“what are you looking at?” he quipped, eyebrow raised as a subtle smirk rested on his lips. the way the corners turned up right at the edges formed a fuzzy feeling right in the pit of your stomach. and that’s why he did it - inyeop lived for the reaction he got from you.
“nothing,” you turned your head back to your own book. legs sliding back to your chest as you wrapped your arms around them; your chin rested against your knees while you tried to focus on the words on the page. you had his attention now – bingo.
a sudden jolt almost knocked you off the plush cushions, inyeop had lifted your feet to drape them back over his lap “where they belonged”. the novel he was so concentrated on before was now placed neatly on the armrest, the dog-ear bookmark on the corner resembling maeum’s. a small smile washed over his features when he realised what you were doing, fingers reaching up to tuck your fallen strands behind your ears. you weren’t expecting it; he barely flinched when he pulled you closer. you could see why everyone at school constantly stared, he wasn’t on the weaker side. it was growing more difficult to fight off the rush of emotion that came over you and swelling in your chest each time his eyes crinkled, intensely gazing into your own; his bad boy persona was diminishing little by little before your very eyes.
this arrangement made subtle touches toward each other a very normal thing. you found it difficult to keep your hands to yourself, especially in public. moments as you were walking down the street, your fingers would gravitate toward his.
“hi.” the crinkles around his eyes becoming deeper as he smiled. “someone wants attention.”
“aren’t you supposed to be going on a date soon?” you quipped, remembering that he wasn’t just yours to share.
he hummed, finger coming to his chin exaggeratedly as he stared off to the side in pretend thought. he did, but he knew where he’d rather be.
in response, your book was flung across the room, but not before he delicately folded at the corner of the page you were on. his fingers gripped onto your waist as he inhaled slowly, eyes wandering over your features like it was the first time he ever saw you.
“fancy a quick one?” that signature smirk was hard to say no to.

in the mood for— thinking | true beauty
pairing: suho x jugyeong genre: fluff-ish? (ice king lee suho + a lot of pondering) word count: 1.2k summary: suho does a lot of mathematical thinking, sort of. set towards the end of episode four. author’s note: SPOILERS??? because i am currently obsessed with the kdrama and the next episode is still a few days away, i decided to write a fanfic. kinda wanted to write suho’s perspective of everything that happened between him and jugyeong up until now but then i realised that this fic would go on a lot longer than intended so i kept it to the events that happened in the fourth episode instead with brief mentions of previous ones. who knows, i might end up writing a lil fic for each episode since i’m just so obsessed with this show. anyways, enjoy!
—
“Lee Suho.” The utterance of his name causes Suho to stop. His senses tell him to ignore the individual who called his name and just go home but Seojun’s voice roots him in his place. He can hear the taller boy’s footsteps walking towards him as he finally turns around. “Do you like Jugyeong?”
There’s a smug look on Seojun’s face and a mocking lilt to his voice as he asks the question. Caught off guard by the sudden prying, Suho narrows his eyes, unsure of how to approach the question from his ex-close-friend-turned-enemy.
“What?” He asks instead, though he heard the question loud and clear.
“You don’t like her?” Seojun continues with his taunting. Suho takes a deep breath, mentally reminding himself not to give in to the mind games.
“And you?” He questions back, trying his best to appear nonchalant as Seojun’s eyes stare him down. “Why do you keep hanging around her?”
Seojun doesn’t answer but his trademark smirk remains plastered on his face as if he already knew the answer to the question he initially asked Saebom High’s Golden Boy.
Irritated by the lack of response, Suho presses on, “Do you like Jugyeong?”
His eyes are shooting daggers now as Seojun just snickers, eyes wandering up and around him in mock thought. Seojun’s fierce gaze finally settles on Suho who is watching him with an equally piercing glare. With hands tucked in his pocket, Seojun steps closer to Suho, squaring his shoulders before dipping his head mockingly.
“I think I might.” He challenges and Suho sighs, briefly crumbling at the jeering response.
—
Later that evening, Suho finds it difficult to sleep. Like most nights, sleep doesn’t come easy to him but, tonight, it’s especially even more so as the events that transpired replay in his head and Seojun’s words echo in his mind.
I think I might.
What did that even mean? His stomach can’t help but turn at the suggestion of such a simple statement. Seojun is Seojun and, although Suho likes to think that he has known him long enough to know what he’s like, he’s still unpredictable.
Plus, that was when they were friends. Now they can barely stand in the same room without some sort of invisible guerrilla warfare taking place; knives cutting tensions and eyes shooting daggers.
Suho also likes to think that Seojun just says whatever he wants to try and get under his skin. And Suho’s proud to say that he’s kept his cool for the most part. Overlooking the cafeteria incident, of course—he technically only raised his hand and didn’t even throw a punch.
Though far and few between, that’s how the majority of their interactions have been. Not physical altercations per se, just throwing spiteful remarks around each other. But there was something quite weighty about Seojun’s statement about Jugyeong that doesn’t sit right with him at all.
Opening his eyes in frustration, Suho stares at the ceiling as his mind wanders to the girl who’s been at the centre of his attention for the last two weeks.
There was something about Jugyeong that made him think. A lot.
He wants to say he’s trying to decipher her like a math question. There’s always an answer to maths. Maths isn’t open-ended, there are clear-cut conclusions. When a problem presents itself, there is always a method of answering it. Math is definitive. Lim Jugyeong, however, was not.
A part of Suho wants to render her as just another girl who cared too much about her image and not enough about her studies. He didn’t like those girls— couldn’t care less about them. He couldn’t care less about anyone, in fact.
So add up her vanity and multiply it with her superiority complex, she should be no exception.
However. Despite her religiously caring about her appearance and what other people think about her looks, he just can’t subtract her from the actual reality that she was not at all what he is forcing himself to believe her to be.
Jugyeong is kind and an all-around warm-hearted person. She’s naive, terribly so, but it’s that unabashed optimism that comes with her naivety that he’s just confusingly gravitated to.
Maybe it was because Jugyeong cared too much and Suho cared too little— opposites do attract after all. But there was something about Jugyeong that was so… indivisible, in comparison to other people.
At the root of it, Jugyeong just cares. Sure— it was surface level, in a sense that she cares about what people think about her without makeup. But it was also skin deep. She cares about people, full stop. He recalls the night he first met her at the rooftop of the hotel building and sent her home in a taxi.
I don’t think I���m in the position to say this but… cheer up. The person who died wouldn’t want the people they left behind to suffer… so you should try to be happy.
Her innocence was something he admired and her ability to see the bright side in any given situation, despite quite literally standing over the ledge of the hotel building moments prior. A sense of overprotectiveness surges through Suho as he wonders what finally drove her to the literal edge.
He can’t imagine how someone as bright and bubbly and overflowing with optimism as Jugyeong would ever find herself at rock bottom and want to end it all.
He just wants to protect her. Is that even normal? He ponders to himself as his mind suddenly recalls how out-of-character he was when he decided to accompany her on her blind date… without her knowledge.
Though his actions may have been viewed as borderline creepy, it was not with ill intention. It was Jugyeong’s first time meeting with a guy that was not him after all. On a blind date, no less. She has a heart of gold and innocence that could be taken advantage of (he swears he didn’t think she would go to the cinema he ended up at, there were plenty of movie theatres in the city).
Despite regretting his somewhat stalker-ish behaviour, he absolutely does not regret teaching the scumbag who decided to mess around with Jugyeong a lesson.
His blood boils as he is suddenly reminded of the piece of trash Jugyeong went on a blind date with. He’ll be damned if he let people take advantage of his Jugyeong like that—
“Wait. My? Jug—“ Suho shakes his head to clear his thoughts. “She’s not anyone’s but herself, Suho.”
A montage of a bare-faced Jugyeong flashes in his mind and he smiles at the showreel of memories they had at the comic book store. From fighting over a comic book which led to her falling on top of him to them having noodles together for his birthday. He blushes at the recollection of her nonchalantly reaching out to touch his bleeding lip. He was so ridiculously affected that his heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest.
He liked how carefree she was when she’s relaxed in an environment she feels comfortable in. ie. the comic book store. He liked that she exudes so much positive energy that she’s practically glowing. There was something about what she has on the inside that was completely unmatched, regardless of what she looked like on the outside.
Suho wishes he gets to see her like that every day, with or without wearing makeup. But he knew the extent of her pain from when she broke down in front of him that rainy evening after tirelessly running around and being errand-girl for him.
All of a sudden, Seojun’s question rings in his mind.
Do you like Jugyeong?
Opening his eyes, he ponders the question in his head but it doesn’t take long for his heart to answer. Turning on his side, his hand reaches out towards the night lamp on his bedside table.
With realisation tugging in his chest, Suho smiles, crescent moon eyes forming as his finger traces the heart-shaped outline of the sticker.
Yes, yes he does.

you couldn’t help but think to yourself.
was it the way he walked? the way he held his head so high that his fluffy hair almost touched the clouds? was it the way he thought the world revolved around him? his cocky aura screaming ‘look at me! look at me!!’?
somehow... you ended up in his clutches. he was the boy who wandered the corridors, his disciples in toe, and nobody could touch him. except some how... you did. well kinda of.
trying to get his attention once he was engrossed in a book was difficult. you never expected the so-called bad boy to be a softy for mysterious quests and fending off evil. then again, that was one of the raging stereotypes inyeop constantly diminished.
your chow-chow, maeum, rested her head against his shoulder as she laid across the top of the sofa, tiny beige fur tickling his neck as she stretched out but he didn’t mind. maybe if you gave attention to maeum he might get a little jealous?
your intense stare, that was supposed to be for her, was often warped by the way his eyebrow quirked at a funny line, or his jawline sharpening abruptly as he stretched his neck from sitting in the same spot all day. his fingers grazing your ankle didn’t help the situation at all. until he caught you staring.
he lifted his head that was previously buried in Legends of Condor Heroes, his hand falling to his lap as he turned to you. his head hit the back of the sofa when his gaze pooled into your own; they glistened, his eyes, something it took you a long time to notice. he’d tell you it happened the moment you said yes... but you’d argue that it was there all along, the walls he built up disguising it from the world.
“what are you looking at?” he quipped, eyebrow raised as a subtle smirk rested on his lips. the way the corners turned up right at the edges formed a fuzzy feeling right in the pit of your stomach. and that’s why he did it - inyeop lived for the reaction he got from you.
“nothing,” you turned your head back to your own book. legs sliding back to your chest as you wrapped your arms around them; your chin rested against your knees while you tried to focus on the words on the page. you had his attention now -- bingo.
a sudden jolt almost knocked you off the plush cushions, inyeop had lifted your feet to drape them back over his lap "where they belonged”. the novel he was so concentrated on before was now placed neatly on the arm rest, the dog-ear bookmark on the corner resembling maeum’s. a small smile washed over his features when he realised what you were doing, fingers reaching up to tuck your fallen strands behind your ears. you weren’t expecting it; he barely flinched when he pulled you closer. you could see why everyone at school constantly stared, he wasn’t on the weaker side. it was growing more difficult to fight off the rush of emotion that came over you and swelling in your chest each time his eyes crinkled, intensely gazing into your own; his bad boy persona was diminishing little by little before your very eyes.
he was nothing like you had imagined. saying “yes” completely warped your world -- how much longer can I stick to this friends with benefits thing?

How did i miss this🥲
Official
Note: I know Valentine’s over but I had this short dialogue fic saved for Seojun x Sujin.
Post True Beauty where Seojun is an idol and Sujin works/volunteers for the community. Every year on 14th of February, Seojun would send a coffee truck to support Sujin at her designated community center, like “normal friends” do until one fine day.
Cheers to the JunJin Community~ Enjoy!❤️
