JEONGHAN.
he’s so soft :(
like immediately scoops u up
talks to you very gently while he holds you,, about literally ANYTHING
jeonghan doesn’t notice how close you’ve sidled up to him until you tug on his shirt a little. he’s been wrapped up in conversation with mingyu, riling him up with friendly teasing and laughing as mingyu pouts defensively.
at least, until you appear out of nowhere, brushing your arm against his and sending him glances from the side of your eyes; he can tell you think he hasn’t noticed, but he definitely has. he always notices, especially when it’s you.
which is how he ends up cutting off his teasing, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you closer, resting a hand on your thigh and murmuring a quick “you okay?” in your ear. and it’s only when you nod, satisfied, that he returns to the conversation.
Tumblr media
JOSHUA.
i feel like he intuitively knows when u need him
hand holder for SURE have u guys seen the recent gose 😭
probably rubs your back or something too :((
“joshua, we are going to get lost.” you pronounce the moment you see the bustling crowds of the carnival in front of you.
your boyfriend scoffs lightly. “come onnn. we’ll be fine.”
“hello? are you seeing this?” with a wide sweep of your arm, you gesture to the horde with wide eyes, unconsciously pressing closer to him already.
“don’t worry, baby. we won’t get separated.” joshua reassures, and then pauses, before dramatically announcing — “ever.”
you blink at him under the coloured lights and merry-go-round music. “i can’t tell if that was heartwarming or incredibly cheesy.”
“both?” he suggests with a smirk, before holding his hand out to you. “come on.”
“josh, don’t let go of me, okay?” you say nervously, as you approach the crowds.
he brushes a kiss over your joined hands with half a smile. “never.”
Tumblr media
WOOZI.
omg. soooo flustered but equally as pleased
also have you seen those arms?
he’s an excellent hugger nobody can change my mind
jihoon can tell there’s something on your mind. you keep looking over at him from your place on the couch as he works, sometimes opening your mouth like you’re about to say something but then changing your mind last minute. and when it happens for the seventh time — yes, he counted — he finally turns to you, sliding off his headphones with raised eyebrows.
“can i help you?” he asks, teasing lilt to his tone.
you’re already looking at him with widened eyes. jihoon cocks his head to the side — when you pull out the puppy gaze, it means you want something. unfortunately for him, he gives in every time.
(how can he help it, when you look like that?)
“hug?” you say hopefully, voice pitched a little higher than usual.
he should have guessed. jihoon opens his arms with a mock sigh, gesturing for you to come and sit on his lap — ignoring both your satisfied smile and his warmed cheeks.
Tumblr media
DOKYEOM.
his smile itself feels like a fucking hug so. idek where to start. this man is a safety net :(
HES SO WARM i feel like he gives the best cuddles
loops his arms all the way around you and squeezes to make you laugh too
“seokmin~! i need a hug!” you declare, the moment you step into the house. you might say it dramatically, but you mean it entirely — today has sucked ass. “i demand it, even!”
at your greeting, seokmin sticks his head out the kitchen, lips already curved into a gentle smile. “what happened, angel?” he soothes, opening his arms and entangling you in his embrace.
“bad day. awful.” you describe shortly, already leaning into him gratefully. “less talking. more hugging.”
“yes, boss!” he mock salutes over your shoulder, giggling as he tightens his grip, and with the sound of his laughter, the burdens of today seem to fall away — at least for a short while, you’ve found your reprieve.
Tumblr media
SEUNGKWAN.
he will drop anything and everything to give you what you need and that makes me UPSET
always goes into full caretaker mode AHHH i love him
probably sways you guys back and forth when you hug
seungkwan takes one look at your sleepy form in his doorway, and he freaks.
by freaks, you mean he pulls you inside, kisses your cheek in greeting, and scolds you for not wrapping up warm enough, all in the space of a minute. and then he’s cupping your face with warm hands. “what happened, baby? you didn’t tell me you were coming over.”
you scrunch your nose sleepily. “sorry. i missed you.”
“aish, don’t apologise, just come here,” he grumbles, to hide the embarrassingly delighted smile growing across his face.
“warm,” you say drowsily, as you lean into his embrace with droopy eyes and slightly slurred words. “best hugger. you’re the best hugger, seungkwannie, you know that? you’re my favourite hugger.”
he kisses your forehead then, with a soft murmur against your skin. “yeah, baby. you’re my favourite too.”

That’s two more gone. Ten remain. Half of them are careers. You stare at the fire blankly.
You don’t want to be on this island anymore. You don’t want to think about how Wonwoo died less than thirty feet away, but you know on this island you can get fresh water and a good supply of food, so you don’t dare move the boys.
“Y/N-ah.” Jihoon’s voice is soft as he approaches you. He sits down next to you and wraps his arms around your waist, resting his chin on your shoulder. You slightly melt into his arms, enjoying the safety of his arms locked around you, just for a moment.
“I’m okay Ji, I just need a minute.”
“I know, I know. I just wanted to tell you that Hansol and I are going to sleep soon. Please don’t stay up all night. Wake one of us up to take watch, okay?”
You nod. “Let Hansol-ah into the sleeping bag tonight, okay?”
“Okay. Don’t forget to put the fire out soon.” Jihoon presses a kiss to your forehead. It’s the first time either of you have shown any physical affection other than hand holding or cuddling at night. The feeling lingers there even after Jihoon gets up.
You huff. That’s another problem that you don’t want to worry about. The stupid crush you have on your fake boyfriend. You think you may have had a crush on him even before either of you were reaped, but now it’s real. It’s not just a passing crush on the idea of someone. No, now he’s here and real and holding your hand and kissing your forehead and making your heart go crazy.
You don’t think it’s healthy to feel this many emotions at once. Being in the Hunger Games is not for the faint of heart, you will say that.
You grieve for Wonwoo. He was your friend and your ally and he saved your life. By morning though, you will be back to good and ready to assess the next problem that arises. You have to be if you want to keep Jihoon and Hansol safe. You have to push all personal emotions aside so you can think properly and just get through the next challenge.
It’s late when you put the fire out. It’s way past the nightly recap. You didn’t bother watching tonight. You sit in the silent dark and stare at the moon. It’s not real, just another thing made by the Gamemakers, but it still brings you some comfort.
You think about your family. You hope your sister is sleeping right now. You hope your father isn’t worrying too much about you. Joshua is probably up right now. He’s always been a night owl.
“Hey Shua,” you whisper into the night. You use your old nickname for him. The one you gave him when you two were in elementary school. You’ve graduated to calling him ‘Josh’, especially in public, but every once in a while you’ll revert back to the old nickname. It helps remind you both of your past together and how far you have come.
You’re not sure if he’s going to be watching. He was never someone who would watch intently. Neither were you, but you kept more tabs on things than he did. Maybe he’s watching just because it’s you. Maybe he’s not watching for that exact reason.
“I miss you. I miss you a lot. You know after thirteen years of friendship you’d think we’d be tired of each other, yet it’s only been a week away from you and it’s like I’m going crazy. It’s hard not having you here. It’s like a part of me is missing. Well, not like. A part of me is missing. You.
“Remember when you used to accompany me during work and you’d complain about it the whole time while I chopped down tree after tree, but you stayed because it meant we could spend more time together? I wish we could go back to doing that. Jihoon and Hansol are good company, but they’re not you. I’ll love you forever, my Shua-yah.”
You’re pretty sure the Capitol isn’t going to air your little speech. You don’t care though. It makes you feel better being able to talk to Joshua in some way.
The rest of the night you wonder what District 7 has been up to. When the sunrises you look over and smile softly at the sight of Jihoon and Hansol in the sleeping bag. They’re adorable smushed together with their sleeping faces.
You stand up and all of your bones crack from sitting in the same place the whole night. You stretch your body out and grab the bag. You find the tap and put it in a tree before collecting water for the day.
You hear rustling coming from behind you and soon arms are wrapping around your waist, a sleepy face pressed to your back. “You didn’t sleep last night.”
“I’ll sleep later, after Sol wakes up.” You lean back into Jihoon’s embrace. “I wouldn’t have been able to sleep anyways.”
“Remember, you have to take care of yourself too.”
Jihoon’s words make your mind flash back to your final conversation with Soonyoung.
Promise me one more thing? Take care of yourself as well, yeah? I know your new focus is on Jihoon, but you’re important too.
You know that if you don’t care for yourself, you won’t be much help to Jihoon either. It doesn’t matter if you actually take care of yourself to take care of yourself, it won’t matter in the end. You need to be at your best for Jihoon though.
You turn around so you can face him. His hair is a mess and you reach up to fix it. “Let’s go to the shore today. I wanna wash in the water.”
Jihoon nods, though you have a feeling he’s only half listening. You lean down and kiss his forehead, as payment for the one he gave you last night. As you and Jihoon are in your own little world, you can hear Hansol starting to wake up as well.
Jihoon squeezes you once more. “Go sleep. We’ll go to the shore later.”
You nod. With a yawn you climb into the sleeping bag, and let sleep overtake you.
When you wake up, it’s way past noon. The sun shines bright in your eyes and you crawl out of the sleeping bag. Hansol and Jihoon are both lounging about and both perk up when they see you’re awake.
You three walk down to the shore where you get into the water. You clean your body off from all of the dirt and grime and blood from the last few days. The salt water still doesn’t leave you feel completely clean, but it’s something.
Hansol and Jihoon do the same and you’re all feeling slightly better afterwards. You stand on the sand, waiting for them to finish up. You glance over at the island in the middle of everything. You can see the glint of the metal Cornucopia in the distance. The place where all the careers reside.
“Y/N-ah,” Jihoon pulls you from your thoughts. “Ready to go back?”
“Yeah.” You pull your eyes away from the Cornucopia and grab Jihoon’s hand.
Another canon goes off later that evening. You guys are sitting around the fire, eating roasted nuts that Hansol found. The sound of the cannon doesn’t make you jump anymore, but it still caches your attention.
There are only two other non-career tributes out there. You wonder if it was one of them. You don’t have to wonder for too long because the nightly recap starts. When you look up at the sky you’re not expecting to see a career.
The picture of the District 4 boy you attacked on the very first day sits high in the sky. Hyunwoo? Something like that. You wonder if his leg injury got to him, or something else did. It doesn’t really matter. What matters is there are now only four careers left.
The night is peaceful. The next morning is as well.
You find a hunk of wood and grab a knife. You’re not sure who’s knife it is anymore, but it doesn’t really matter. You’re glad one of your hobbies can be done with even the simplest tools you have available to you.
The Capitol citizens have to be finding this funny right now. People are dying and you’re sitting here carving wood.
“Hey, that’s my song,” Jihoon says. Your concentration is broken and you look up at him.
“What?”
“You were humming,” Jihoon explains.
“Oh, sorry. Force of habit.” Whenever you’re working you end up humming a song. You don’t know many songs though, so you always go back to the same two or three you’ve heard Jihoon singing.
“Don’t apologize, I like hearing it.” Jihoon looks a bit shy and you think it’s adorable.
“You two are gross,” Hansol says, breaking the moment. “It was better when Wonwoo was here, so I had something to focus on that wasn’t you two.”
You laugh lightly. “Sorry Sollie, we’ll tone it down.”
You don’t want to tone it down though. You want to keep it going. You want to do more and have more and be more.
The rest of the afternoon is quiet. Then evening comes.
While everyone is sitting around, you sit up from where you’re leaning against one of the trees. There’s a rustling of leaves and in an instant you’re up on your feet. There’s a flash of something and suddenly you’re pulling both Jihoon and Hansol up, pushing them ahead of you.
“Mutts!” You yell out and start to take off at a full running pace. You glance behind you and quickly look away. It looks to be a mutation between a rhino and a large feline. It has the horn and build of a rhino, but the coat, teeth, and paws of a jungle cat. There’s only one, but it’s large and fast and you’re doing your best just to get through the thick foliage of the jungle.
The only thing that makes you feel even a sliver better about this situation is that you can clearly see Jihoon and Hansol in front of you. As long as you’re between them and the mutt, everything will be okay.
You’re a bit too focused on the boys though, because you trip. You land with a hard thud on the ground and you can barely even think before the mutt’s on you. You let out a scream as it tears sinks it’s claws into your arm.
It doesn’t let up and you’re sure you’re going to die. You feel something digging into your side and you remember your axe is on your belt. You struggle to detach it from your belt. As you do so, the mutt moves and grabs right onto your leg with it’s teeth. You’re sure if it wasn’t for the sheer panicked state of adrenaline you’re in right now you’d be dead.
With a cry you lift your axe and slam the blade down into the skull of the mutt. The mutt’s teeth loosen up on you and falls dead. Your arms fall limp as well and you do your best to remember to breathe.
Your ears are ringing and you can hear the faint sounds of Hansol and Jihoon but your vision is starting to go and you’re scared. You’re so, so scared.
Tumblr media
Jihoon can’t breathe. There’s a lump in his throat and a stab in his heart and you’re going to die and Jihoon can’t breathe.
He sinks down next to you and cradles your head in his lap. There’s fear in your eyes and that scares Jihoon the most, because he doesn’t think he’s seen you scared a day in his life.
“J-Ji,” you call out to him.
“Shhh, shh, I’m here. Hi, baby, I’m here.”
A tear rolls down your eyes and Jihoon quickly moves to brush it away. He doesn’t feel too far away from crying himself. There’s so much blood. So much blood and your leg doesn’t even look like a leg anymore and you’re breathing is slowing and you’re gasping for air.
“Ji, Ji,” you sob, tear freely falling now, “I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die anymore. Please Jihoon.” Your fingers dig into Jihoon’s arm, pleading for his help in some way.
“Shh, shh, you’re okay, it’s okay, you’re not going to die. I- you’re fine. We’re gonna be fine.” Jihoon tries to keep the panic out of his voice as he comforts you, but he knows he’s failing. “I- Soonyoung please help.”
Jihoon cups your face with his hands, and brushes his thumb over your cheek, hoping to calm you some. Jihoon leans down to press a kiss to your forehead. The taste of salt and dirt linger on his lips.
Ding.
A parachute falls down next to Hansol. He quickly picks it up and opens it. Inside is a plethora of medical supplies and Hansol quickly gets to work. Death may work quick, but Kwon Soonyoung works quicker.
“My mom’s a medic,” Hansol explains quickly as he feeds you a couple pills. “I don’t know as much as she does, but I can do this.” His hands are shaking, but Jihoon doesn’t have a doubt in his mind that he can save you.
Hansol takes a piece of cloth and ties it around your thigh and uses a stick to twist until it’s tight. Jihoon’s never seen a medical procedure like it before but he assumes it’s to cut off blood so you don’t lose even more than you already have.
He then moves on to your arm. He takes some of your water reserves and cleans off your arm before grabbing the needle and thread that was already in your first aid kit grabbed from the Cornucopia. His fingers are still a bit shaky as is his breath as he stabs into your arm the first time. It seems like he’s also trying to keep himself from crying, the only thing stopping him is having to stitch you up. It’s clearly a novice job, but Hansol eventually patches up your whole arm.
Despite your arm being taken care of, your leg is still mangled. Jihoon can’t look at it for too long or he’ll actually throw up. He can see a bit of bone though and it’s all meaty and bloody and slightly bent out of shape.
Even Hansol looks disgusted as he looks down at it. Inside the container that Soonyoung sent is some ointment, but Jihoon isn’t sure how much that can help when you have a literal chunk of your leg gone. Still Hansol rubs it onto your skin where he can and then wraps and splints your leg.
You’ve calmed down and your breathing is soft, but steady, and Jihoon thinks it has to do with the medicine Hansol fed you at the start. Jihoon has been petting your hair the whole time, watching Hansol meticulously. There’s a tight feeling in his chest and it doesn’t go away until your body shifts just the slightest bit.
You weakly reach out for Hansol and he helps you by grabbing your hand in his. “Th-thank you.”
Jihoon’s thankful for Hansol and Soonyoung as well, but he also knows that if you don’t real help soon, you won’t make it much longer. The suffocating fear that you’re going to die creeps up Jihoon’s throat and he does his best to swallow is back down.
From that start, it was clear you were going to die. You were going to lay down your life to say Jihoon’s. It was something he had to come to terms with. Now that he’s faced with the reality of it though, he can’t accept it. Not yet. He’s not ready to let you go yet. He needs more time.
So maybe he likes you. Maybe he’s always been a little interested in you. The strong, reliable woodsman from District 7. Now you two are here together and he has you but he’s about to lose you and he can’t handle it.
Hansol gets up and leaves to go back for the supplies. Jihoon’s took shaken to do anything other than pet your hair. Hansol comes back soon and Jihoon finally gets up.
Together they make a shelter. They tie the tarp to a couple trees like a lean-to and put branches and leaves over it so it’s more hidden.
Your face isn’t in the sky when night falls though, and that’s all that matters right now.
The night is long and Jihoon doesn’t sleep a wink. He can’t, too busy monitoring you. When morning comes Jihoon finally gets a good look at you in full light. Your skin looks dull and sickly and Hansol’s stitching on your arm looks even worse in the broad daylight.
Jihoon takes a peek down at your leg. It’s still all bandaged up and Jihoon can’t even imagine the monstrosities that lay under the coverings. Jihoon can only hope that more medicine will be sent soon.
You’re sleeping right now and Jihoon keeps a hold on your hand, but only so he can keep his fingers pressed to your pulse. It’s slow and faint, but it’s there.
Soonyoung sent the group a good portion size of soup and Jihoon must think the sponsors feel bad for them. Jihoon doesn’t really care, as long as it helps you stay alive.
The next few days are slow. Other killings happen, but to other tributes, and Jihoon doesn’t really care as long as it’s not you. None of it’s okay, this whole situation is fucked up, but deep down Jihoon knows that every canon that fires gets you and him closer to winning. To surviving.
You spent most of your time sleeping. Jihoon doesn’t care though, because it seems little by little your strength is coming back. Especially with the extra healing cream Soonyoung sent. It came with a note to Jihoon to keep it up and Jihoon thinks it relates to the fake dating act they’re putting on.
Jihoon’s cried multiple times since you got attacked and he spends all of his time coddling you. Soonyoung must think Jihoon is putting on an act for the camera and the Capitol is eating it up, but little does Soonyoung know that Jihoon is genuine in everything he does. Every forehead kiss, every hand squeeze, every sweet word, he means it.
The cream is doing its job though and you’re slowly starting to recover. Your arm has healed nicely and you’re able to stand and even walk a little bit, but your leg is still messed up and it bothers you if you use it too long. Capitol technology is a wonder, but it’s still not perfect. But you’re alive, and that’s all that matters right now.
Tumblr media
It’s down to seven tributes. You think about how that means there’s going to be family interviews. Your dad and your sister and Joshua. You miss Joshua. You’re glad the leg that got fucked up isn’t the one that has your bracelet on it because you’d honestly be more upset about the bracelet than your leg.
You’ve been dying lately though. Jihoon keeps coddling you, and it’s not that you don’t like it, but you so desperately hate being a sitting duck. You made Hansol find you a large stick that you’ve carved into a walking stick for you.
You force yourself to get up and walk every once and while. It’s been four days since you got attacked and you’ve been doing nothing for too long. Another island has sunk since then and two tributes have died, one being the other District 1 girl. Nayeon, maybe? That means it’s just three careers, your group of three, and one more tribute left.
The three careers left are the ones you like the least. Seungcheol and Jeonghan from District 2, and Mingyu from District 4. Not only do they have disgusting personalities, but they also pose a large threat to your group, especially now that you’re injured. If you don’t get your leg back in working shape soon, your whole group is in a lot of danger.
It’s the next day when you realize that you’re just about out of food. Your leg has been screaming at you since you woke up and even with the painkillers Hansol keeps feeding you, your leg is still killing you.
“We need stuff,” you groan.
“We’ll go get it, you rest,” Jihoon tells you.
“No,” you protest. “My leg is so stiff, I need to move it. Please. It’ll be okay.”
“No. Remember, you need to take care of yourself. I’m not kidding this time Y/N. Hansol and I will be back soon with food. If I found out you’ve moved from this spot, I’m not going to be a happy boyfriend.” Jihoon’s commanding voice and the use of the word boyfriend has you shutting up.
Jihoon drops a kiss on your forehead before he and Hansol head out in different directions. Just a week ago you were roaming these woods with Jihoon and killing a hog together. Wonwoo was still with you guys and he and Hansol were out finding you guys nuts and fruits. So much has changed since then.
You sigh and reach for the bag. You can luckily grab it without much effort and you grab your piece of wood and your knife out of the bag. If you can’t do anything, the least you can do is go back to your carving.
The sun is starting to move and you’re wondering where the boys are when you hear a blood curdling scream. It sounded like Hansol.
“Sol?” You call out experimentally. No response. He didn’t sound that far away. Dread starts to fill you. Something isn’t right. “Sol?” You struggle to your feet and look around frantically. Where is he?
"Y/N! Y/N!" The voice is panicked and high pitched and it makes your older sibling mode kick into gear. As quickly as you can, you start to race through the trees. Pain shoots up your leg, but you keep going. You’re not sure where you’re going but you need to find him.
"Sol-ah? Hansol!”
You nearly miss it. Nearly miss him while running, but a glint catches your eye and you sprint over. Lying on the ground is Hansol’s body, blood soaks his jumpsuit and his eyes are barely staying open. The glint you caught was his knife, still in his hand. His leg is tangled up in some jungle vines.
“Y/N?” Hansol reaches his hand up and you drop to your knees and grab onto his hand and pull it to your chest.
“What happened? Who did this?”
“The District 2 boy. I got caught in the vines. He found me and I tried to fight him off with the knife but he overpowered me.” His voice is soft, and his breathing is unsteady, his words taking a while to come out.
“I can save you. Like you saved me. I can fix this, just-”
Hansol clutches your hand tighter. “No Y/N, you can’t. You can’t save us all, it’s okay. Jihoon should win.”
You can’t save him. Hansol is going to die and you couldn’t protect him. You grab your axe and start to cut the vines away from his leg. When he’s finally free, you scoop him up and start to walk towards the edge of the island. Your leg is screaming at you, begging you to stop, but you can’t pay attention to it. You can’t when you have to focus on Hansol.
You set Hansol down on the sand and cradle his head in your lap. You don’t care if it’s fake, if it’s just made by the Gamemakers, Hansol deserves to have this. The sky is a myriad of colors over the ocean and you pet Hansol’s hair, trying not to drop tears on him.
It isn’t fair.
“It’s okay Y/N.” Hansol’s hands reach up to grab your face. He uses his last bit of strength to pull you face down to kiss your cheek. “Thank you for taking care of me.” He pats around his jacket pocket before pressing something into your hand.
You press your hands over Hansol’s as his eyes go blank and his arms go limp. You close his eyes and hold his body tight to yours. A cannon goes off. You don’t move until you hear a hovercraft coming to take Hansol. You gently lay his body down and back away as he’s lifted into the air. Your own outfit is now dirty with his blood and your leg is now even worse than earlier, but you don’t care.
You look down at your hand and sitting in your palm are two matching bracelets. Faded, worn leather braided together. District tokens. You clutch them close to your chest. One belonged to Hansol, the other to Chan, his district partner.
“Y/N? Hansol? I heard yelling.” Jihoon pushes through the trees but stops when he sees you on the sand. “Y/N…?”
“He- he- I didn’t even know they were on the island. I don’t know where they came from or where they went but I couldn’t save him and now he’s-,” you can’t continue, your words getting caught in your throat. You wonder if the pain in your chest will be enough to kill you.
“Oh, oh. Oh no.” Jihoon quickly moves to you, sinking down to his knees as well. You bury your face in his chest and sob. Jihoon cries too. Soft, silent tears, his chest taking shaky breaths every once in a while.
You cry and you cry and you cry until it’s it dark out and then you eventually just…stop crying. You’re too dehydrated and your head hurts and you know that crying won’t do anything. It won’t bring Hansol back, and at it sure as well won’t help you avenge his death.
Jihoon helps you back to the shelter and you basically fall to the ground as soon as you get back. Pain is overtaking your whole body and as soon as you hit the ground your eyes white out and the world goes black. Your last thought before you pass out is that there’s only six people left now, and District 2 is going to get it.

BIAS TAG YEET
i got tagged by @adriana-willnever-cook to y'know pick ten of my biases and then answer questions. problem is, i don't usually bias. minghao was a fluke. i just love him a lot.
so these are just as close to a bias as i get
Xu Minghao / The8 - Seventeen
BamBam Bhuwakul (idk if i spelled it right tbh) - Got7
Park Jinyoung - Got7 (his vocals in New Era wrecked my life ngl)
Wen Junhui - Seventeen
Kim Namjoon / RM - BTS
Im Nayeon - Twice (she's a close first tbh i love my girls equally~)
Kim Jihun - TRCNG (i mean technically i'm not qualified enough to bias in that group but if i had to)
Park Jihyo - Twice
Lee Jihoon / Woozi - Seventeen
Jung Hoseok / J-Hope - BTS
i love my kids equally but if i absolutely had to pick,,, yeah
Between 1 and 4 who would you rather kiss?
o boy. starting with a bang. umm,,, well between my china line babies, i'd probably kiss jun bc idk, my intuition tells me he'd probably be about as awkward about it as me, unless he's acting. he'd probably be super cool about it.
also he's probably a good kisser.
Between 2 and 7 who would be your best friend?
well, i love bambam but i'm gonna go with jihun on this one, and not just cause he's close to my age. he's kinda extra, really talented, and tbh he'd probably fit right into my friend group.
Between 5 and 10 who has the better voice?
oh nooooo shit. umm,,,, ok so when it comes to speaking voice i could listen to rm for hours, but tbh i prefer j-hope's rap. vocals i can't decide so y'know.
Between 1 and 8 who's the funniest?
hmm. why are these so hard to me? idk. i'm gonna go jihyo on this one. minghao's "IMMA" was p legendary but idk my intuition says jihyo. her n her beautiful thomas the tank engine face (plus the eyebrow stamp that one time)
Between 6 and 9 who would you date?
ok so idk if y'all know this but dating terrifies the living fuck out of me. this one goes to nayeon, no contest. woozi i feel is an introvert so dates would maybe be full of awkward silence, but nayeon seems much more outgoing and would be able to start a conversation, something i suck at. also she's just absolutely adorable and bubbly and happy and did i mention i'm at least 30% gay, specifically for Twice? bc i am
Between 9 and 10 who would you do a collaboration with?
you're kidding.
ok well i guess i'm gonna go with,,,,,,, woozi. no shade to j-hope. just that i feel like maybe i'd work better w woozi bc i feel like i'd be working really hard to prove my worth (to myself probably). also bc i've only seen hobi write rap, from what i know (which isn't much) and i suck at rap.
Between 4 and 8 who's the best dancer?
well, i'm gonna go jun on this, if only because he's in the unit specifically designated for dance. no shade to jihyo or twice, but from what i've seen their choreo tends to be p simple, so idk, i haven't really seen her full potential in that regard. i know she trained for something like 10 years so i expect she's p good, but jun takes it for me (HIM IN MY I AND OH MY, OH BOY)
Between 3 and 5 who would you most likely marry?
oof. asking the hard ones hm? well,,, logically it's rm. he's responsible and serious but also knows how to have fun and i think any kids we have would adore him, and he'd probably be good at raising them (y'know, pick up my slack there,,).
Between 2 and 3 who has a better smile?
how dare you make me choose. alright fuck, we'll say bambam. why not. honestly though, his smile is v contagious and idk i just like it a lot
Between 6 and 8 who would you vacation with?
QUIT MAKIN ME PICK BW GROUP MEMBERS GAH ok well i'm gonna go with jihyo on this one too. idk i feel like she'd probably be responsible enough to help me keep my brain in one piece during packing to go there and when leaving. like i'm pretty good at packing, but i'm always scared of forgetting something at home or wherever i'm staying so idk i feel like she'd be able to keep me organized plus she's probably a blast to have around let's be real yo
ok so that was me waxing poetic about the people i love for ten paragraphs or something. hope you enjoyed or something idk.
I tag (if you want): @doyouseemecaring (idk why it won't let me tag you?) and @letsseehowhappyyouare (bc i see you two in my notifications all the time and wanted to spring this on u), @butterymyjellyfish (bc you're my new best friend) aaaand @iknowsongbutidontknowsongname (bc you tagged me in that lovely mutual appreciation post and i forgot to say thank you before i lost the post whoops,,,)
and @01woo just to freak em out ("who tf is this nerd? why are they tagging me? idk who you are get away from me u weirdo")
also i accidentally analyzed who in seventeen was most likely to enjoy spin the bottle in the tags so if you're interested hit see more ;) you'll regret it, none of it makes sense and it's all late night intuition

Seventeen Reaction: You Suddenly Being Shy
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Thanks for the request anon! Hope you like it!!!!
CHOI SEUNGCHEOL
Tumblr media
He thinks is the cutest thing in the world and he also cannot believe he has that kind of sway over you. He's like????? They're shy around me?????? He'll do a lot of cute little things to try and get you to relax around him and be more comfortable being yourself around him. When you're not super close, he'll do random things to make himself look ridiculous so if he's intimidating to you at all, he seems less so. Then as you grow more comfortable with each other, anytime he notices you becoming quiet he'll do something like plucking your chin or some other cute gesture that he knows you'll have some sort of witty comeback for. He appreciates and adores both sides of you, but always wants to make sure you feel comfortable around him.
YOON JEONGHAN
Tumblr media
Jeonghan will likely match your energy depending on how you're feeling. But he does have a habit of challenging your more sarcastic side because he tends to talk quite bluntly, so he thinks those conversations are more fun. He honestly has a lot of fun figuring out how to push your buttons until you two are ceaselessly teasing each other. He'll leave you be if it really seems like you're not up to it and respects when you're more quiet. He can always easily go with the flow depending on your mood.
JOSHUA HONG
Tumblr media
Josh tends to also get shy around new people or one on one with people he doesn't know that well or in other moments he's not prepared for. So if you suddenly get shy, it'll probably trigger his shyness as well. He'll suddenly be unsure of what to say or where to look or how to act. Moments between you and Joshua tend to be very sweet and lighthearted since both of you are very careful towards each other. Any sort of friendship/relationship with each other with each other will progress slowly because it takes you two awhile to fully open up to each other. But it means that you two also eventually feel very comfortable around each other since you spent so much time building up trust.
WEN JUNHUI
Tumblr media
He probably hates this lol. Not because of you but because he just can't stand awkward silence and puts all the pressure on himself to fix it. He also doesn't really get it????? Like you were fine around him when you were hanging out with other members or friends????? He watched you roast Wonwoo with no hesitation earlier???? But now that it's just you and him you're so shy?????? Get ready for chaotic Jun because he's going to be pulling all of the punches to get you to laugh again. Honestly when there's an awkward silence he can't really help but keep talking to fill it in, so you might learn a lot more about Jun in five minutes than you thought you would in years lol.
KWON SOONYOUNG
Tumblr media
(Sorry for using such a big gif but he really is the prettiest man on earth omfg)
Might also be a little awkward when you suddenly get shy. He worries that he said something to offend you or that maybe you don't like him. So he tends to approach you carefully when he notices that you're shy around him to make sure that you two are on good terms. He'll actually make an effort to talk more quietly around you and try to sit really still and not make any sudden big movements so he doesn't catch you off guard or upset you. He tries to be as polite as possible and will make a real effort to start enjoyable conversations. Probably asks other people stuff like what movies you like or what songs you listen to so he has something to talk to you about when he sees you.
JEON WONWOO
Tumblr media
Pls this is his worst nightmare. He's not confident in handling social situations so when you suddenly get quiet around him, he has no idea what to do. He'll awkwardly blurt out some random questions and cringe inwardly every time it doesn't lead to an actual conversation. He'll wonder what's up since you seemed so confident around other people. Like Soonyoung, he'll worry over you not liking him for some reason. He'll probably actually end up pulling back and letting you approach him in the future so any contact between you two can be on your terms so he knows you're comfortable.
LEE JIHOON
Tumblr media
May not fully notice. Jihoon tends to be off in his own world anyways so your mood change around him may fly right over his head. He's not always conscious of people's behaviors and changes in them because of his tendency to zone out. Honestly it's sort of a relief. If you're feeling a little more nervous as you spend one on one time with him, it's almost nice that he seems to continue on with business as usual. It's nice that he won't really point it out or make a big deal of it. He's usually pretty gentle during conversation anyways so it's not like there's anything he's doing to be intimidating. If he notices you being shy, he might get a little shy as well, but he'll do anything he can to make you comfortable and get on your good side.
LEE SEOKMIN
Tumblr media
Seokmin is such a people pleaser so you suddenly going quiet is going to be a problem for him. He needs you to like him so much. He's going to figure out what makes you feel the most comfortable around him. Do you want him to take the lead in conversations? Would you prefer he back off a little? Do you like it when he's joking? More serious? He'll test the waters and feel out what brings back your more confident side so he can tell what makes you more comfortable around him. He'll navigate every conversation with care so you'll enjoy talking with him.
KIM MINGYU
Tumblr media
Also the type to kind of slip up when this happens. He doesn't know how to continue when you suddenly get shy around him. It highkey gives him butterflies, he thinks it's so cute. So then he's shy around you, leading to him doing awkward things, all while he's trying to help you feel less shy around him. He's a giggling/blushing mess around you 24/7, which definitely helps him seem less intimidating. But he very much genuinely wants you to feel comfortable around him so he'll always be as kind and friendly as possible.
[A/N: So Tumblr has suddenly decided I can only add ten imagines to each post even tho up until now, I was able to add gifs for all thirteen members. Soooo I was wondering if you guys preferred for me to either separate maknae line and hyung line for reactions, or if you want me to leave gifs out and have all members in one post for reactions, or if y'all want to do it by request??? Until I get a good read on what y'all want I'm just gonna cut the gifs are where I have to lol. Please let me know what y'all want me to do!!!!]
XU MYUNGHO
Myungho takes this in a silent stride. When he notices you suddenly get shy around him, he'll just sort of quietly take note of it. He'll try to encourage your usual sarcastic side to make sure you know he's comfortable with it. If it doesn't seem like it's working, he'll back off and try to take things slow and gentle with you until you feel more comfortable around him one on one. He'd never admit it but he is ecstatic when your sarcastic side starts to show. Any biting remark you have for him is met with a smirk and an equally biting remark. He's fine when you're more shy but he'll feel uneasy himself until you're comfortable around him.
BOO SEUNGKWAN
Seungkwan will have an "oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no" moment when he realizes you're suddenly shy around him. He also wants everyone to like him and be happy around him. He will also wonder if he did something to offend you and be incredibly nervous and unhappy until you're comfortable around him again. He's constantly hesitant when approaching you and then as conversation progresses, he'll pull out the big guns with his humor to get you laughing and hopefully back to your normal self.
VERNON CHWE
This may also go over his head. Vernon isn't always super in tune with the people around him just depending on what's going in his head. He also usually lets the people around him lead conversations anyways, so he'll just follow your vibes conversation to conversation. When you're shy he'll just speak to you casually and keep it light. When your more sarcastic side shows, he'll vamp it up and match your energy (although with him, he'll use sarcasm as a way to casually flirt for sure lol). But overall it's hardly even noticeable to him.
LEE CHAN
Dino probably also gets shy when you get shy. He may not notice your change at first but as soon as he does he just goes "oooooooooh" and then backs way off. He's the type to awkwardly laugh every other sentence when speaking to you, desperate to make sure the conversation feels light and happy. He's not really the best at navigating meeting new people and learning how to connect with them specifically. He's happy to try anything and everything to help you feel more at ease around him, though.

[Tales from the Pack] Joshua: Second Chance (Part One)
Tumblr media
Characters: Joshua x female reader
Genre/warnings: werewolf au, fantasy, angst, possible character death, a little bit of fluff but it’s like angsty fluff
Word count: 1,837
Summary: After his mate died, Joshua always blamed himself and never wanted to imprint again. However, fate has other ideas when he meets you: a young, energetic werecoyote that’s quite the opposite of him. He insists he doesn’t want a new mate – nobody’s even sure if he’s ready for a new one – but he can’t ignore his instincts.
Next | Second Chance Masterlist
a/n: things in bold are in english. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!! hi i know everyone has been awaiting this series from tftp in particular. and while i wish i could say im updating this regularly,,,,,i cannot. there’s no definite update schedule, im just doing it when i can. i wanted to wait until i had all the parts written but im impatient. but i hope you’ll enjoy this series even with the slow updates, and i hope it lives up to expectations 💜
“Where’re we going?” Joshua grumbled as he followed slightly behind Hansol and Kyung, the younger boy’s hand wrapped around hers.
Joshua was going with them to the doctor without actually knowing. Kyung knew better than to tell him before they left because she figured the grumpy werewolf would just tell her no, not really caring whether he was unable to heal or not -- even though that was very clearly a bad sign that he had overexerted himself.
Kyung thought maybe Joshua would be a little less...angry all the time once she got to know him, but Joshua was stubborn well before he’d even met her -- he was just bad at shoving his stubbornness and anger down.
“I promised I’d get my back fixed if Kyung decided to stay, and you said you’d go if I went, didn’t you?” Hansol reminded his brother with a smirk over his shoulder. “We’re gonna go see that doctor we were told about. What was her name again?”
“Minjee,” Kyung replied. “Not to sound rude but...Josh, why don’t you want to see a doctor?”
“I don’t really care if I can heal or not either way,” he replied flatly, “but I said I’d get help if Hansol did. So...here we are.”
“Here we are...” she repeated in a mumble.
Joshua simply followed the mated couple in silence as the alpha led them to Minjee’s, being the first to knock on the door. It was a girl -- as expected -- that opened the door, bowing politely to the group before smiling brightly at the darker skinned girl in front of them.
“Kyung!” she exclaimed as she gestured the three of them in. “I haven’t seen you in so long -- I suppose that’s a good thing, though. How’ve you been? Your pack hasn’t mentioned you.”
“I’m not actually in that pack anymore,” Kyung told her with a shrug, her ‘cool’ exterior coming back in the presence of an old friend. “I’m an alpha of my mate’s pack now.”
Minjee seemed impressed, eyebrows raising with a smile, “Wow, look at you. How’d the sudden change happen? Jiung must be proud.”
“He’s actually...passed away.”
The doctor’s face fell, placing a comforting hand on your upper arm, “I’m sorry for the loss of your brother.”
Kyung nodded, “I’ve been grieving, but it’s been easier with my mate. Minjee, this is Hansol, and his brother -- er, our brother, I guess -- Joshua.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” Hansol said as he nodded to her. “Our brother, Soonyoung came in before with a human girl to talk about fixing us -- I’ve got silver burned into my back, and Joshua’s the healer that can’t heal anymore.”
“Ah, yes, the healer!” Minjee’s eyes lit up as she nodded excitedly. She looked to Joshua now. “Your power still hasn’t come back?”
“No,” he replied. “I thought just resting would help but...nothing.”
“I see,” she hummed, eyeing him over before looking back at Kyung like she was their mother that took them to the doctor’s office. “I’ll do a quick look over and then see what I can do. It’s almost time for me to close up, and I have to go out of town for a few days. I won’t be able to do anything until about a week from now, but they’ll be fine until then if they’ve been fine this long.”
“That’s okay,” Hansol shrugged as Joshua replied, “No worries.”
“Alright,” Minjee breathed with a warm smile, grabbing some gloves from nearby, “then let’s get started and see what’s going on.”
-
Even though you were never careful, you wanted to blame this on shitty luck. You were too carefree and excitable, so you ran and ran and didn’t see the trap. So with you trapped under a net with little prickles that you were sure were laced with wolfsbane from how fucking awful you felt -- that was an understatement -- all you could do was wait for hunters to come find you before death took you itself. Honestly, you hoped the latter would come first.
You faintly heard footsteps coming toward you as your vision went out of focus, your eyelids becoming too heavy to keep up. You sensed a presence beside you, the body crouching down to get a better look at you.
“What do we have here?” a female-sounding voice asked, but it sounded far away and muffled to you. “Is this another werewolf?”
“I can’t tell,” another female voice replied in a sigh. “Sura, do you have any ideas?”
“Doesn’t smell like werewolf to me,” a male voice said. “It definitely is some kind of were-creature, though. This thing wreaks of wolfsbane and it’s clearly affecting her. I’d say...coyote, maybe?”
One of the women sucked in a breath between their teeth before saying, “Prajya, help me get this net off of her -- it’ll be heavy but I’m afraid to let Sura touch it.”
Slowly, you felt the weight of the net being lifted off of you. You could also feel every little barb stuck in you being pulled out, and you whimpered softly from the stinging pain that covered your body.
“Minjee, will she make it?” the second girl asked as you were lifted into warm arms.
“No,” the male replied, “probably not.”
“The house isn’t far from here,” the first girl insisted. “We just have to hurry.”
But you were out cold before they even took the first step.
-
Josh and Hansol weren’t really sure why so many people wanted to go with them into town that night for them to finally get fixed. Suvi was understandable since she just enjoyed going into town, and Soomin made sense since she was basically their resident know-it-all when it came to werewolves. However, Wonwoo wanting to tag along was weird because Wonwoo didn’t like leaving the house, much less going into town. They figured maybe it was because he wanted to make sure Soomin would be alright, but she was already going to be with two werewolves and a girl who had gone into town plenty of times. She was in good hands, but whatever made Wonwoo happy.
“Are you nervous?” Suvi wondered, looking up between Hansol and Joshua as she walked.
“I don’t know how they’re going to fix my back, so that’s a little concerning,” Hansol decided, “but I’m more excited.”
Joshua just shrugged, “Eh, not really.”
“Try not to be so excited, huh,” Wonwoo commented.
Joshua did like his power. He liked that he was able to help people with it. However, it didn’t benefit him -- as in, it didn’t make his own personal healing any better than anybody else’s in the pack -- and it wouldn’t be needed if his pack wasn’t so stupid and got themselves hurt. It wasn’t fun like Seokmin’s or Chan’s or Kyung’s, and it wasn’t interesting like Jihoon’s or Soonyoung’s or Hansol’s or Minghao’s. It was boring -- kind of like Wonwoo’s or Seungcheol’s.
Suvi was the first up to the door, knocking before she took a step back to wait. The door was answered by Minjee -- as always -- who greeted them with an almost pained smile.
“Hello,” she greeted them. “Before you come in, I’d like to apologize. My partners and I have just gotten home, and one of our patients... Well, she won’t make it.”
Now that she’d mentioned it, the wolves could just barely hear the faint, slowing heartbeat from inside the house. But they could also smell that it wasn’t the typical werewolf. It was something they’d never smelled before, but it still wasn’t completely human.
Joshua also picked up on a scent that was very familiar but also so very different from anything he’d smelled before.
“We’re just trying to ease her pain until she passes,” Minjee continued, letting the small group into the house. She turned to look at somebody else who was helping with the aforementioned girl. “Sura, could you put a curtain up around her? Prajya, I’ll need you to help me with--”
Minjee stopped when she noticed Joshua stop in the doorway, his body going rigid. His golden eyes were spotting red and locked on you, hands balled into fists.
You were dying; his mate was dying. Again.
“Josh...?” Wonwoo spoke up, placing a hand on the older boy’s shoulder.
Joshua’s thoughts and opinions on re-imprinting were out the window when it registered that the girl quickly losing her life was his mate. The only thing he could focus on was you and saving you -- but he only knew one way how.
“She’s not dying,” he stated, walking straight through the small crowd and over to you where your pulse was just a moment away from completely dying out.
“What?” Minjee asked, watching him as he approached you with a set jaw and narrowed eyes.
“I’m not going to let her die,” he said louder, letting his hands hover above your body.
Joshua was too focused on trying to somehow get his powers to come back to him that he wasn’t paying any attention to Hansol and Wonwoo’s conversation over their surprise of their brother imprinting for a second time. Truthfully, nobody thought anybody would come after Lilly since Josh was so against it. But then again, imprinting wasn’t something any werewolf could control. 
Joshua mumbled to himself as he tried to will his power back. He was concentrating so hard but nothing was happening. No faint glow from his palms, no color coming back to your face, and your heartbeat was still rapidly decreasing by the second. It wouldn’t be long until it was gone all together, and then there would be nothing he could do.
“C’mon...c’mon...” he grumbled, closing his eyes as his eyebrows creased together in concentration.
“Your powers won’t suddenly work,” Minjee spoke up, watching from where she stood by his pack, wanting to give the werewolf space -- especially since she was preparing for him to be grieving for the mate he’d lose before actually having her.
“They have to!” he snapped.
He refused to lose you. If he lost two mates -- even if he didn’t properly meet or know you -- he was sure he wouldn’t be able to take it.
With his last bit of energy he had in his body, his palms faintly glowed to life, spreading a tingling warmth across your body. His healing power was starting to cleanse the wolfsbane from your system, and your heartbeat was starting to become stronger and more stable. Hearing your heartbeat louder in his ears made Josh want to cry. But he didn’t have the energy for it.
As you let out a cough and a girl with brown skin rushed over to sit you up so you could empty your system, Joshua collapsed onto the floor, knowing you were alive and would hopefully stay alive. He put his everything into saving you, and he didn’t know if that would kill him, but he knew it was worth it.

Chae's Relationship with Hyung Line (Seventeen 14th Member)
Tumblr media
Chae is the 14th member of Seventeen. She is a 95liner and the leader of the female subunit Quartz. Here is a basic description of her relationships with the members. This post includes 95 and 96liners.
Tumblr media
Seungcheol: They get along with each other really well. Cheol truly is the fake maknae when they are together, and Chae has no problem babying him. They like to rest their heads on each other's shoulders. Chae almost never goes to him when she needs help since she doesn’t want to overwhelm him even more than he may already be. Chae encourages Cheol to goof off and take breaks, and acts like a right-hand man. She typically takes the leader role if he isn’t present or is very tired, Cheol appreciates this a lot.
Tumblr media
Jeonghan: Honestly they are really similar. Chae is just a little less sneaky and more mom-like. They have a sort of rivalry going on based on who can cause the most organized chaos. Chae does NOT hesitate to slap his ass but Jeonghan does it right back. To summarize: it’s slightly aggressive affection, if that makes any sense. Jeonghan and Chae are typically the emotional support of the members, because of this, they rely on each other for advice and the freedom to be playful.
Tumblr media
Joshua: He is a day older than she is, so they celebrate their birthdays together at midnight when they meet. They are best friends. Lots of hitting each other, soft fixing of hair, and everything in between. Chae has always struggled with english, so when Josh was a new trainee, they couldn’t talk much because of their language barrier. They quickly overcame this by using google translate and charades. Total Bros.
Tumblr media
Jun: They aren’t the closest in the groups, but their sense of humor is the same, this often results in the two of them having inside jokes simply because the other members are like ??? Chae makes an effort to make Jun feel included all of the time. They also co-parented predebut so they know how to work together very efficiently. When they need to get stuff done, it’s very easy for them as they are usually on the same wavelength. Have yet to have a legit argument.
Tumblr media
Soonyoung: Chae really admires hoshi as a performer and artist in general. Chae was learning to dance as a trainee and hoshi made sure to check in with her and to keep encouraging her. Chae says that the only reason she can perform all of their choreos is cause of him. That being said, whenever Hoshi is stressed or overworked, he will usually go to Chae. She supports him and is very good at comforting him. If Hoshi is getting too wild, Chae can always reign him in.
Tumblr media
Wonwoo: Wonwoo is quiet and independent, so Chae doesn’t feel like she has to take care of him the way she does for some of the others. That doesn’t mean they don’t care for each other, obviously, it’s just much more subtle. This does lead to him feeling a bit neglected at times, but Chae will eventually notice it (Wonwoo will usually play up his aegyo subconsciously) and then they spend a day together, with Chae babying him. Chae trusts Wonwoo and his judgment. He is good at not being emotional when faced with a problem, so she asks him for his opinion a lot. He is her breath of fresh air when she is feeling overwhelmed with leader or Quartz related things.
Tumblr media
Jihoon: He doesn’t like to be coddled and Chae is very aware. Instead, she opts for silently supporting him. She will often be in his studio while he produces just sitting on the couch working silently or writing lyrics. Jihoon has said that Chae is one of the reasons he never gave up during training. Ya know how they say that extroverts adopt introverts and force them to be their friends? Yea, exactly that.
Tumblr media
Nix: When Chae and Nix are together, Chae’s wilder side comes out. It took them surprisingly long to get close since Chae was intimidated by her. Nix was an amazing dancer from the start and Chae found herself comparing herself to her a lot. Only to find out a couple years later that Nix felt the same way about Chae in regards to rapping. Very chaotic best friends energy. Nix doesn’t like talking about her emotions, but is thankful that Chae still checks in with her and makes sure that she always feels included.

Drunk ♥ Jun
Tumblr media
 Member: College! Jun x reader (gender neutral) ft. Bff! Joshua
Genre: Fluff (little bit suggestive but no smut)
Word Count: 2.2K 
↬  Request:  Smth with Jun?? Maybe like him or the reader getting drunk at a party and them confessing?💕
✿ summary: - going to one of Jun’s parties seemed to be a right of passage at your school. After being persuaded by your friend, Joshua, you run into your hopeless crush, the party man himself.
WARNINGS: mentions of alcohol & drinking
❀          ❀          ❀
It wasn’t even eight in the evening, and you could already tell tonight was going to be a long one.
After constant pleas and begging from your classmate Joshua, you finally decided to go to one of his friend’s stupid parties. They normally, from what you had heard, were a bit crazy, to say the least. But Joshua insisted they were fun and if anything bad happened he would take you home right away. But the main reason he wanted to drag you along was so you could talk to Jun. He conveniently forgot to mention the last part to you. You had had a major crush on the man for over a year now, and Joshua, yourself included, was getting sick of the two of you not being together. Jun could be odd and a little out there. It was just what you needed to balance your calm and rather shy personality. 
You snapped out of your daydream as you saw Joshua staring at you with a questioning look on his face. His sunglasses dangled from his shirt like his solo cup in his right hand, similar to the clock hands you were staring at above his head. 
Joshua’s shoulder hit yours harshly, nearly knocking you over as you saw a wider than normal smile on his face, as he giggled at his movements. 
“Woah there josh, slow down,” you said carefully, taking the red cup from his hand. You knew he was getting tipsy now, as normally he would protest at your action. 
“We should get going soon,” you said knowingly, “you need to be home, because I know for a fact that you have an exam tomorrow.”
“Hmm.. fineee...” He stopped, pulling your hand in his in another direction, before slurring, “Les’ go find Jun furst.”
Before you could protest, Joshua pulled you downstairs into the main living area. The two of you moved grudgingly through tens of party goers, some dancing, a small group looking like they were experiencing the best moment of their lives, and you had just slipped past a girl yelling at a male around her age.
Before you could think, your eyes caught the man Joshua seemed so desperate to find, as you whipped your vision in the other direction before either of them could notice. Joshua was still moving sluggishly alongside you through hot bodies with you when he stopped, spotting Jun himself. He giggled again, and made another wide smile as he wiggled his eyebrows knowingly.
“God, you’re so tipsy,” you breathed out to him as you rolled your eyes, a delicate pink color coming on your cheeks. Joshua smiled again, but it wasn’t his tipsy smile, it was more like a smirk. But just as you opened your mouth to question his new expression, a finger tapped your shoulder from behind.
You turned around steadily, a slight blush creeping up on your face. Thankfully, the lights were emitting a soft, greenish-blue color, changing every few seconds, now turning an orangery-red. They gave the person who had tapped your shoulder an infatuating glow, as his eyes peered straight into yours, and allowed your flush face to be hidden in the dancing light. Jun looked a little less tidy than normal, but incredible nonetheless. His wine colored hair was a bit ruffled, and his jacket hung off one of his shoulders, hanging onto the other. 
“Hey,” you breathed out, trying to break the tension you could feel rising as you lost track of time staring at him. 
“You look gorgeous tonight,” he admitted. There was a soft glaze over his eyes, that seemed to force you to keep looking at them. You weren’t sure if it was the lights, the alcohol, or if it was simply because you liked him that much. This was the closest you two had gotten since you had met, besides the time you, Joshua, and him had watched a movie together. His scent was light, and smelled of citrus and must, mixed with liquor. 
“Thanks,” you stated, a bit louder than you thought as the music came down a bit. Jun laughed at you as he took your hand. He gave Joshua a look that you couldn't decipher, before the younger man walked off to meet a few friends, leaving the two of you alone, in the large sea of people. 
“It’s too loud in ‘ere,” he whispered in your ear. He glanced behind him at a corner of the frat house near a couch that was empty, raising his eyebrow. 
“Mind if we sit?”
You followed Jun to the couch, sitting next to him as you sighed. You just now realized how much your feet were hurting from your shoes, relieved to let them rest for a moment. Jun was quite calm for being, from what you could tell, super drunk. He was mainly like himself, but seemed relaxed and a bit more flirty than usual. He was laughing a bit more than normal as well, but not as much as Joshua did when he was drunk. 
“You know... I’m glad you finally showed up to one of these,” he started, looking around. 
You faced him, waiting for him to continue as you weren’t sure how to respond.
“I started thinking last year... that I would have muchh more fun if Joshua brought his pretty friend to these parties,” he drawled. He was close to your face now, almost as if he was telling you a secret in your ear. He pulled back, and stared at you with stars in his eyes, as if you were the most interesting thing in the room. 
“I... really?” You questioned, hoping that tomorrow Jun would feel the same, and that it was him rather than the alcohol talking to you. 
“Yeah, isn’t it obvious?? I like you, Y/n.” 
Your face was definitely red now, there was no doubt, but you were too shocked to notice. Jun looked at you with wide eyes, looking like a puppy as he pouted at you.
“You know.. righttt??” He smiled a bit now, raising his eyebrows before laughing softly while turning away.
“But... I... I thought you flirted with everyone?”
“Uhm, not as much as I do with you,” he laughed.
Jun stared at you affectionately as he learned closer to you slowly, his eyes fluttering softly. Before he was able to do what you had been waiting for, he seemed to forget about his right hand, as alcohol spilled onto his shirt, as well as you, soaking the both of you. He shot up quickly, a look of alarm spread on his face before he laughed. 
“Sorry... at least I didn’t get y—” 
He stared at you before apologizing, then smacking himself in the face.
You breathed out a laugh, shaking your head and taking in the humorous scene in front of you. Jun grimaced before glancing at the space in the couch previous between you as he opened his mouth.
Jun looked around with wide eyes, as if he was scared someone were to come out of nowhere at any moment and attack him. You got up gingerly and wrapped a hand around his shirt, tugging it slightly towards you. Jun flashed a smirk before you rolled your eyes, asking, “Which room is yours? You should change.” You glanced behind him at the clock on the wall illuminated by an orange glow. It was nearly midnight. 
“And,” you started strictly, “you should get some sleep.”
His smirk immediately dropped as he looked at you momentarily, like he was trying to find something in your eyes, before sighing.
“Okay, but you have to come with me.” 
“Of course I’m coming with you, yo—” 
“Oh, eager, are we?”
“No dumbass, you’re too drunk for your own good.” 
You smiled slightly before frowning. Maybe this was the alcohol taking. 
“Let’s hope Jihoon doesn’t notice the stain on his couch. He’ll kill me.”
You rolled you eyes as Jun pulled you up the stairs, and into the first room on the left. Inside were two medium sized beds with dark sheets, a small nightstand sitting in the middle of it with a light adoring it. To your left was a beige desk covered in papers, trinkets, and plants. The room was quite tidy, minus the closet space to your right. Pairs of shoes were crammed together on the bottom of the small space, hoodies and shirts hanging messily from the top. 
Jun looked around hazily before turning back to you. 
“Sooo... are you gonna change?”
“...What? Oh, yeah.” He turned from you then skimmed through his closet. He pulled a large black t-shirt from a hanger and started taking off his shirt. You turned away, blushing and trying not to look, but not before you saw his toned form. After a moment you looked back, seeing him in his new, un-stained shirt.
“Here, you can wear this one.” He handed you a white graphic tee, around the same size as the shirt he was wearing. 
You pulled the shirt over yours and shifted as to take off your smaller one under the large one, that smelled just like the man sat behind you.
“Y/n...?”
You turned over your shoulder to see Jun sitting on his bed, a serious look on his face. You noticed the glass on his nightstand was empty, happy that he now had something rather than solely alcohol in his system. He patted the spot next to him softly as you walked over. You sat down and stared up at him, his scent overwhelming your scenes.
You hummed, then he responded airily, “You know I really like you, right? Like seriously?”
“Jun...”
“I’m not drunk okay!” He said, raising his voice before slouching again. 
“I do like you. You know, you can say it back if Josh isn’t lying.” 
“If he wh—”
“He told me. I know you like me as well.”
Oh my god. You were never trusting Joshua with a secret ever again. Your brain was spinning rapidly trying to focus on one thought. How could you respond to that? Why did Josh tell him? How in the hell did Jun...
“...You really like me?”
Jun rolled his eyes and nodded, a small smile on his face. 
“Have I not made it obvious?”
“I just... why? And why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because, Y/n. Every time I see you my chest tightens up. You’re so caring and kind to your friends, and even people you don’t know, or didn’t know. Like me. I didn’t think someone like you would like someone like me. I’m too...”
“Out there?” You said in a small voice, looking at him through hooded eyes.
“Yeah. You’re so... good and sweet and you do well in school and I’m not like you, I didn’t want to ruin that.”
Before you could respond, Jun continued passionately, “And I thought you liked Joshua, anyways.”
“He, he told you I liked you though?” 
Yeah, he did. But it was hard to believe, because he did it right after I confessed my feelings for you...”
Jun placed his hands over yours as he looked at you again, with that charming look of longing that you had fallen for. Your chest was tight, but it was slowly falling soft as you were putting the pieces together. He liked you.
“I like you too.”
The words came from your mouth before you could stop them, tired and dazed from the party scene as if someone else had said them. But you meant it.
Jun smiled softly as he leaned close to you, you could smell his cologne and it engulfed you, pulling you into his parted lips. He kissed you. It was soft and delicate, like you would break if he was too harsh, and it felt like your surroundings were colored and bright. He pulled back slowly, his left hand on your face, holding you like he didn’t want to end the kiss in the first place.
“Would it make you feel better if we talked about this tomorrow? I’m tired.” 
“Yeah...” you replied softly, taken aback still by his lips on yours. “Uhm, I should go get Josh, so he can walk me home...”
Jun grabbed your wrist lightly, staring into your eyes knowingly.
“He’s probably already sleeping downstairs, the party sounds about over.”
You hadn’t noticed before, but now listening for sounds below, it was nearly silent. The clock on Jun’s tidy desk displayed that it was nearly one in the morning, explaining the absence of noise. 
“I can drive you home, or you can stay here.” 
His tone was casual, something you didn’t normally hear from Jun, especially paired with a could-have-been flirtatious sentence. 
“Mingyu is at his girlfriends, you can use his bed...” 
You glanced at the bed next to Jun’s, before a thud caused you to look up at him. He had crashed on the bed and was now out, sleeping peacefully with a small smile on his face. You sighed, turning off the light and getting on Mingyu’s bed. 
“Goodnight, Jun.”

Having already completed the first half of her college career, Joohyun was well aware of the value of sleep. And yet, like most college students, she could never  seem to manage a decent sleeping schedule. She had only slept 2 hours when her alarm went off at 5:30AM. She groggily rolled out of bed, mentally cursing her past self for thinking that this was a good idea when clearly, the best idea at the moment was to snuggle back up under her covers and sleep in until afternoon. Only one of her eyes seemed capable of staying open as she pulled on her clothes and got ready for the day. When she suddenly heard the front door close behind her roommate, she cursed out loud, throwing her laptop into her bag before she rushed out the door. She half-wobbled, half-hopped along the second-story walkway while she tried to get her shoes all the way on.
“Bok Bongseon! Wait for me!” Joohyun called out in an aggressive whisper.
“HOLY SHIT! You scared me, Joo!” her roommate, a shorter girl with full cheeks and pouty lips, screamed at full volume. She clutched at her racing heart and leaned against the wall while she caught her breath. 
“Shut up, people are still sleeping!” Joohyun linked arms with Bongseon and dragged her down the steps leading to the street. It was still dark outside, but she could already hear the faint bustling of the mart located below their apartment. It was nice to know that they weren’t the only two people in Seoul insane enough to be awake at this hour. 
“I thought you were the ghost of my grandma, you bitch! You know she visits me in my dreams to tell me how disappointed she that I’m a baker,” Bongseon said indignantly, though she still cuddled closer to Joohyun when they were hit by the morning chill. Once they reached the street, they both headed towards the train station without having to say a word.  “What are you even doing up?” 
“I am simply accompanying my favorite roommate to work to make sure that she gets there safely,” Joohyun crooned sweetly, and made kissy faces at the girl, who in turn pinched Joohyun’s lips between her calloused fingers. She tried to protest but could only let out pained whines until she was mercifully released. “Ow!” 
“Sorry but I cannot fulfill your roommates to lovers, 12k slowburn fantasy,” Bongseon continued on nonchalantly as they climbed down the steps to the platform. “You had your chance, but I am a taken girl!”
“Oh, so you and Josh are together today?” Joohyun teased. Although it probably wasn’t the best idea, considering her lips were slightly throbbing from the girl’s attack. “I’ll just wait until tomorrow then.” 
“Wow, bold words coming from Miss Fish Lips.” Bongseon raised an eyebrow and smiled tauntingly. “Understandable, considering  that that was probably the most action your lips have gotten in your entire life. I could probably set it up on a blind date with my fist, if you’d like.” 
Joohyun’s laughter echoed off the walls of the mostly empty station, startling the only other person waiting for the morning train (an old woman, who was still half-asleep prior to being rudely awakened by two very loud girls). Bongseon often made some colorful threats, morning or not, but Joohyun was one of the very few people who could be assured that her words were empty. “Don’t you know that it’s rude to stare, lady?” she barked at the old woman, who was openly glaring at them. Everyone else, on the other hand, was subject to Bongseon’s sharp temper.
This even included her boyfriend of approximately 4 years. ‘Approximately’ being the key word, because the two often took breaks--  a natural phenomenon when one partner was easily provoked and the other loved to do the provoking. Jihoon had told Joohyun that the two had met at the cafe in their freshman year, when Bongseon came in as a part-time baker and Joshua was merely a barista trainee. They started dating within a month and moved into an apartment together in two. That went just as well as anyone would expect. By the grace of whatever entity that was chaotic enough to keep their relationship intact, they made it 7 months before nearly breaking things off for good. As luck would have it though, a new hire and his roommate were in the same exact predicament as them. Kind of. 
Joohyun shuddered to recall her freshman year when she and Jihoon somehow convinced themselves that it was a good idea to share an apartment. In principle it made sense; they had lived across the street from each other since they were in diapers. Two exhausting months into trying to irritate the other into breaking the lease first, they met Bongseon and Joshua when Jihoon started working at Smile Flower. It didn’t take long for Joohyun to suggest the switch— she would move in with Bongseon and Joshua with Woozi. Just like that, she saved both Bongseon and Joshua’s turbulent romance (temporarily) and her and Woozi’s fractured friendship (now thriving). 
She and Bongseon have been roommates ever since, and Joohyun knew her life was a little easier for it. 
“Joohyun, you better stop looking at me with those heart eyes before I really act up,” Bongseon warned. They had boarded the train, but hadn’t bothered to sit down since Mansae University station was only two stops away. 
“But I just love you so much,” Joohyun pouted, affectionately resting her head on her friend’s shoulder. “What does Joshua have that I don’t?” 
“A dick. And that’s about it.” 
“Damn you, heterosexuality!” 
Bongseon snorted out a laugh. “Seriously Joo, how are you awake right now? You’re only ever this lovey-dovey when you’re severely sleep deprived. I know you don’t have classes until 3PM today. You also don’t have your internship today,” Bongseon narrowed her eyes when Joohyun visibly tensed up at the mention of her current occupation. “Also, since when do you watch Youtube videos until 2am? And don’t think I didn’t notice that all of them were titled ‘Relationship Q&A’s’ and ‘I confessed to my crush and he said this!!!’. Got something to tell me, missy?” 
It was so quiet on the train that Joohyun worried that Bongseon could hear all the wires in her brain short-circuit. With Bongseon’s cross-examination skills, it was a wonder why she pursued baking instead of joining her family’s firm. Come on, Joohyun, just tell a white lie. Easy, simple. Don’t need to overcomplicate things. “Oh, uh I— um— well, I j-just thought they were entertaining?” She was done for. 
“Right. You thought random couples self-indulgently talking about their love lifes for 40 minutes with default iMovies effects were entertaining.”  
“Y-yes?” Joohyun threw in her most convincing smile for good measure, but it did nothing to soften Bongseon’s hard gaze. “It’s my new guilty pleasure, haha!”  
“Hm, interesting,” Bongseon was momentarily interrupted by the sound of the arrival bell. Joohyun eagerly pulled her friend towards the exit, hoping that the distance from the train could also get her further away from the topic. Unfortunately for her, Bongseon did not plan on dropping it so soon. “You sure you don’t want to tell me anything, Joo? About your internship?” 
Joohyun began to sweat. Was she really that transparent? “Okay, don’t get mad--”
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m super jazzed that you’re getting into relationships and everything, but really Joo? Youtube? You could just talk to me if you need help talking to your new crush at your job!” 
“Oh.” Joohyun would have let out a sigh of relief if she wasn’t out of breath from climbing the mountain of stairs up to the sidewalk. “Right. Confessing. To my crush. That I definitely have.”
“It’s okay to admit you have one, Joo. I’m no  stranger to workplace romance,” Bongseon said, her breathing completely even. A measly flight of stairs was nothing compared to eight hours of kneading dough. “Who’s the lucky bastard, Joo?” 
“Well, I’m not sure I would call it a workplace romance, per se…” Joohyun laughed nervously. There was no way she could stick another clean landing if she kept talking. 
“Shut up, I bet that guy is in love with you already. Who wouldn’t fall for the only editing intern at The Front?” 
“Haha, I don’t know…” Probably no one, because the only editing intern at The Front doesn’t exist? 
Joohyun could not be more relieved to see the small store front of Smile Flower Cafe. It was one amongst the many cafes located near campus, but Joohyun felt like nothing really matched its comforting home-like ambience. But that probably had less to do with the soft wooden floors and pastel ceramic mugs, and more owed to the three years Joohyun had spent hanging around there, usually bothering Jihoon and joking around with Josh. 
The two boys already stood waiting at the cafe’s entrance, too bleary-eyed to notice Joohyun and Bongseon quickly approaching. “Hey, ugly!” Joohyun called out, snickering when both of them turned to look at her. 
“What the hell, why are you awake?” 
“Good morning to you too, Jihoon,” she answered, blowing him a kiss. “I’m actually here to see you, believe it or not. Don’t you feel special?”
“Oh? That’s interesting, because you told me that you came here for me,” Bongseon broke away from exchanging actual kisses with Joshua to look between Joohyun and Jihoon in a way that Joohyun did not like too much.  “I guess it wasn’t a workplace romance after all.” 
Joshua mirrored his girlfriend’s implicating expression as he unlocked the front door, simply because he knew it made his friends squirm. “Wow Joohyun, you woke up this early just to talk to Jihoon? You really couldn’t wait to see him, huh?” 
“Uh, yes because I need his help—”
“Ah, his help, gotcha! Come on, Bongseon, I’ll go help you in the kitchen while these two help each other out here,” Joshua snickered. Before Joohyun or Jihoon could roast the couple in retaliation, they had already disappeared behind the counter. 
After years of similar taunts, all Jihoon could do was shake his head. “Okay Joo, what is so important that you need my help at 6 in the morning?”
“I wrote my first response last night!” Joohyun whispered excitedly, taking out her laptop from her bag. “Well, a few hours ago. I wanted to show you before continuing on with the rest! Here, look.” 
① Dear Miss Soju, 
I just started my first year at MU and she’s an exchange student from New York. We met at a party and talked for two hours about comics, aliens, anything we could think of. It was perfect. She even asked me to walk her home. When the time came for me to make a move though, I kind of dropped the ball. Since we had just met that night, I didn’t want to come off too strong. Now I really regret it - I don’t even have her phone number. I feel like such an idiot! I can’t stop thinking about her, but I don’t even know if I’ll ever talk to her again. Did I make myself seem disinterested? Will we meet again? Will she even remember me?
Sincerely,
Big Cringy Idiot
She let Jihoon read the asker’s message first, then scrolled down to show her answer.
Dear Big Cringy Idiot,
You and your crush seem to have a lot in common. There is nothing wrong with being nervous around someone you like. In fact, it is fairly normal and is a good sign that you like this girl very much. She also seems open to any future possiblities, since she did ask you to take her home. You need not worry about coming off too strong in this situation, although I do admire your dedication to respecting women’s boundaries. I hope you are able to find this girl again so that you can truly tell her how you feel. Best of luck to you!
Sincerely,
Miss Soju
“Joo, that was…” 
“Poetic, beautiful, life-changing?” Joohyun grinned, and nudged her best friend with each suggestion.
“Boring. It was boring.” Joohyun’s face fell, and Jihoon could only offer the girl an apologetic smile. “Dude, you’re gonna put people to sleep if you keep it up like this. I almost took out a pillow to take a nap on the floor.”
“But this is how I write my articles— Informative and concise! How else am I supposed to write it?”
“I mean, that’s great for reporting articles, but this is an advice column. It’s supposed to be fun, sarcastic maybe. Like your promo piece! That was good.” 
“I wrote that as a joke, hoping they would fire me for it,” Joohyun admitted, eyes wide in panic as she looked at her best friend. 
“Huh. Well, I think it would sound better than this Wikipedia article you got going on,” Jihoon shrugged. “Try to be fun!”
“I am fun!” Joohyun cried out defensively, her nostrils flaring with passion. When Jihoon responded with a doubtful look, she let out a dramatic gasp and snatched up her laptop, stomping over to her favorite corner in the cafe. “I can be fun! I’ll show you fun!” 
 “Atta girl,” Jihoon’s signature cackle filled the cafe, further fueling the girl’s aggressive typing. 
Just another morning in the life of So Joohyun.
Tumblr media
To the surprise of the cafe’s current occupants, a student already tapped at the glass entrance, clearly in desperate need of his morning americano. He had walked all the way from the freshman dorms after a restless night of tossing and turning. When his phone screen told him it was already 6:05AM, he decided to just give up on sleep altogether. So there he was, trying to start off his day right, at Smile Flower Cafe, only to be stopped at the door by the grumpy barista with the red hair. He always felt like the other one was way nicer, especially since he would go out of his way to sneak him free cookie samples and made pleasant small talk while ringing him up (what was his name? Jonathan?). 
  All the red-haired barista ever did was scowl at him when he asked for a student discount. Now, he scowled at him as he gestured at the sign that indicated that the cafe would not be open until 7AM. The fatigued freshman had half a mind to make some choice gestures of his own, but he refrained and just whipped out his phone instead. He gave the mean barista one last pout before turning around and walking towards the 24-hour convenience store on campus.
➠ [ to: vernonie 😌😎  ] Good morning king. Are you still on your shift ?
➠ [ from: vernonie 😌😎  ] gm seungkwan pls k*ll me 
Seungkwan took that as a yes. It didn’t take long for him to arrive, the entrance bell ringing lightly when he stepped into the small store. At the register sat his roommate, who was clearly fighting to keep his eyes open. “Wol-cuh ‘n—” he tried to greet through a wide-mouthed yawn. “Excuse me, welcome in! Oh, hey Seungkwan.”
Seungkwan answered with a grunt and headed straight for the refrigerated coffee section, choosing the largest can.
“Uh dude, you good? You look like—”
“Like I haven’t slept all night? I am aware,” He immediately opened his coffee and took a long gulp of the beverage in hopes of feeling even a little better. When it did nothing after 30 seconds, he frowned at the concerned cashier. “Vernon, I will not be paying for this drink, because it is clearly defective. Coffee is supposed to fix everything.” 
“Is this about your audition today?” Vernon asked, eyebrows furrowed. “Your monologue sounded really solid last night though. Your audition songs were great too. You totally got this in the bag!” 
“It’s not just about the audition, sweet Vernon,” Seungkwan sighed. “It’s about who I’m going to see at the audition. I still don’t know what the fuck I’m going to do.”
“Oh yeah, you are probably going to see them later.” For the past week, all Seungkwan could talk about was the theater tech sophomore that he had met at the theater department’s welcome party. They had sat beside Seungkwan and had helped him through all the fast-paced drinking games, and even took some of his shots when he kept losing. Surely, this was what love felt like.
That was what Seungkwan hoped anyway, because whatever it was made him feel all warm and tingly inside (or it could have just been the alcohol). Nevertheless, he had made big plans to confess to his crush as soon as possible. His dilemma for the past several days was merely a matter of how it would be done. “Not probably! I know for a fact that they will be there, because they told me that they couldn’t wait to see me,” Seungkwan let out a wail and slumped over the counter. “They’re the sweetest, most beautiful person to ever walk the earth and I just want to tell them that I would actually jump off a bridge for them. Why is that so difficult?” 
Vernon nodded sympathetically as he always did. “I mean, if you’re not ready today, maybe you could wait?”
“Wait?! No offense babe, but last time I checked, waiting didn’t get you anywhere,” Seungkwan said,  patting his roommate’s arm. Vernon cringed as he was forced to remember his own romantic blunder from the past week. “Clearly, we are both in major need of help. That Woozi guy’s show didn’t do anything for us! Also, we still haven’t heard from that Miss Soju character and it’s been what? Two days? If she’s such an expert, she would know that love is time sensitive!” 
“Ugh, I know. I keep refreshing The Front’s website just to see if she’s posted it yet.” Vernon sighed forlornly, which was a common punctuation to his sentences lately. “It’s getting me really antsy. What if she doesn’t even choose to answer our emails this time?” 
Seungkwan quickly covered the other freshman’s mouth. “Don’t say that! The universe manifests what we say will happen. We should ask for divine intervention instead.” He cleared his throat in preparation and threw his hands up to the sky. “O Eros, god of love, please shine your blessings down upon my and Vernonie’s love lives for we are but two humble, clueless freshmen in need of romantic guidance. Send down two of your swiftest, sharpest arrows, so that those that we desire may hear your soft whispers—”
Ding. The sound of the entrance bell rang once more, stopping Seungkwan’s prayer short, much to his irritation. “Is this a bad time?” the new customer, an ethereally handsome blonde, asked amusedly. He strode into the store and grabbed two spicy tuna triangle kimbab’s before approaching the counter. 
“Jeonghan hyung!” 
“Ah, Vernon!” Jeonghan smiled. “I didn’t know you worked here. You should come by my and Cheol’s apartment again soon, that was fun!”
“Hyung, this is my roommate that I told you about-- Seungkwan. And Seungkwan, this is Seungcheol hyung’s roommate,” Vernon said all while ringing up Jeonghan’s food. On the side, Seungkwan bowed sheepishly after unfreezing from his previous pose. “How’s your morning going? You wake up pretty early!” 
Jeonghan laughed heartily, shaking his head. “Oh no, I just finished an all-night stream. I just came by to get a snack before heading to bed. Seems like you two have been having a fun morning, though. Do you two always start your day off by praying to the ancient Greek god of desire?” 
Seungkwan flushed a deep pink. “Uh no, it was more like a cry of desperation. Vernon and I are having a pretty tough time confessing to our crushes, so I figured we should just try out anything that might help us. Nothing else seems to be working…” 
“Wait, that’s so cute,” Jeonghan cooed. 
“Would you be able to give us some advice, hyung?” Vernon asked. He didn’t know anything about the senior’s love life, but he did give off the vibe of someone who would know… a lot. 
Jeonghan’s eyes twinkled dangerously, a lazy smirk on his lips. “I mean, I could go talk to your little crushes for you, if you’d like. I’m sure I could get some sort of response out of them.”
One look at Jeonghan had Vernon and Seungkwan shaking their heads vehemently.
“No, we’re good.”
“Yeah, no thanks.” 
“Mm, good call.” Jeonghan took his food from the counter, and winked at the two boys. “I really wish I could help you both more, but I’m sure you’ll get what you’re waiting for soon! Today, if you want it enough.” 
There was something in the way that the senior stated those words that made Seungkwan believe him without a question. It wasn’t a naive suggestion or an optimistic prediction; Jeonghan spoke like it was the truth plainly written on the walls. He finally felt a long-awaited wave exhaustion wash over his anxieties, softening them until they fizzled away alongside the ebbing foam. All that was left behind were grains of sand. Suddenly, Seungkwan yawned,  and he wanted nothing more than to curl up in his twin bed at the dorms. 
“Well, I should be heading off to bed! Looks like you should be too, Seungkwan,” Jeonghan said, suppressing his own yawn. The freshman nodded in agreement. He definitely needed to rest up— this was going to be a big day, after all. 
“Say hi to Cheol hyung for me when you get home!” Vernon said. 
Jeonghan hummed thoughtfully as he made his way back to the entrance of the store. “I will if he’s there! He didn’t come home last night.” He turned to leave the boys with one last sleepy smile, seeming to laugh at something only he knew. 
“At least one of us is doing something right.” 
Tumblr media
“Jihoon, why can’t I get this right?” 
“I’m sorry! This just sounds nothing like you,” Jihoon shrugged. It had been a rather busy morning, but things slowed down as it approached noon, giving him the chance to look at Joohyun’s fourth draft of responses.  “I’ve never heard you say stuff like ‘rad’ or ‘hella’... Like are you aware that you sound like a skater from the late 90’s?” 
“That’s because the reference I’ve been using is from 1997!” Joohyun huffed in frustration. She was already backspacing albeit with a little more force than necessary. “I wasn’t even born in ‘97!” 
“Exactly, so stop trying to write like that. What if you tried to—” 
“Eat my ass, Hong!” The sound of the kitchen door slamming open interrupted Jihoon’s (probably unhelpful) suggestion, and the two best friends watched as Bongseon stormed out of the cafe in a familiar rage. Luckily, there were no customers to witness it this time. 
Instinctively, they looked to the kitchen door, where Joshua stood with a resigned smile on his full lips. “Oops,” he said, scratching at the back of his neck apologetically. “Guess it was too soon to joke about our last break. Sorry about that, Jihoon. I’ll try to call in the head baker early to finish up the rest of the pastries for today.” 
He walked over to where they sat and plopped himself across from Joohyun. She offered Joshua a look of sympathy, but he responded by twisting his face up in a dumb expression, reassuring her that he was just fine. Still,  she couldn’t help feeling worried for both of her friends. No matter how many times Bongseon and Joshua broke it off and no matter how much Joohyun joked about it, she knew that their strong feelings for each other meant that it hurt a little every time they got into a fight. At least, that’s what she gathered from the various nights she spent soothing Bongseon while the girl cried into a toilet bowl, soju bottle still in hand. 
“It’s okay, Josh, you probably don’t have to worry too much. Knowing her, she’ll probably be back in 30 minutes to make up with you and then Jihoon will have to find someone to take over your shift,” Joohyun piped up. “But please take it back to your apartment this time, because I don’t make enough money to have every surface of my apartment sanitized again.” 
Joshua let out an easy laugh, as though he were not a man in deep shit. “Thank you, Joo. You always know what to say to make me feel better,” he sighed. “I should probably go after her. I’ll be back soon, Jihoon!” 
She waited for him to disappear out the door before turning to her best friend. “Wow, that’s gotta be a new record for them, right? I didn’t even know they got back together until this morning.” Joohyun was surprised to find that Jihoon had been silently staring at her for a good minute now. “...Why are you looking at me?” 
“What you said to Joshua,” Jihoon simply replied. 
“Oh, I was only joking about the sanitation thing. I just walked in on them once in the kitchen—“
“No I mean, how you said it. Maybe that’s how you should be writing your responses.” Jihoon grinned, watching as Joohyun gave him that look again, the one where she looks at him like he’s speaking from a third head. But he knew that this was going to be another Jihoon Genius moment, which seemed to be happening more frequently lately, much to his satisfaction. “Like you’re talking to one of your friends. I mean, it made Josh feel better, right?”
Joohyun’s eyebrows scrunched together and she mulled the idea over. Without another word to Jihoon, she began to slowly type on her laptop, gradually tapping faster and faster as she gained momentum. Her best friend giddily returned to his place behind the counter to tend to the customers that just walked in. He knew that once she got into a groove, there was no hope of stopping her. 
An hour later, Joohyun finally pushed away her laptop and waited for Jihoon to finish wiping down a table before calling him over. For some reason, she was anxious to show him the final product and even when he already sat besie her, she hesitated for a beat. Usually, her writing was professional and objective, always ending with a declarative period. She had spent years perfecting her reporting style so that when she presented the facts, that’s all they were. This, however, felt personal, like it was a part of her. And even though Jihoon probably knew her even better than herself sometimes, there was something so vulnerable about showing someone a side of her that she had only just discovered. 
And yet, she was curious to know— desperate to know: was it any good? 
“Well?” Joohyun watched for Jihoon’s reaction closely, both impatient and terrified to hear his thoughts. 
“Joohyun, this...” Jihoon started slowly. She braced for impact. “This is it. I think you’ve found Miss Soju’s voice.”
She exhaled. “R-really?”
“Yes, really. You answered the questions so thoughtfully, so you know it’s not just some generic bullshit you found on the internet. Plus, it was fun to read, like I think I’d read this even if I didn’t send a letter in,” Jihoon gushed, all while skimming over the words again. He turned to smile brightly at her, reminding Joohyun of a much younger Jihoon back in their elementary school days. “Most importantly though, it’s so you.”
Joohyun returned the smile, just as brightly. Warmth bloomed in her chest and across her cheeks. “Thanks, Jihoon, I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“Honestly, me neither,” Jihoon laughed.
“Um, can I ask you one more thing though?” Joohyun scrolled down to the last two entries, both of which asked for advice on how to make things official with a guy they’ve been talking to. The two letters were extremely similar in detail, but had been sent from two different emails and two different signatures. At first, she thought that maybe her judgement was muddled by her lack of sleep, and as the day went on, she figured her inability to recognize any nuance between the two letters was thanks her lack of experience. 
There was just something about the way they had described the boy. She knew that  intelligent, funny, kind-hearted, and unbelievably handsome were pretty generic adjectives. But what were the odds for both letters to also mention his infectious laugh and deep, dark eyes? “Do you think these two are from the same person? I’m trying to go for a confession theme for this article, so I included them both, but I’m afraid they’re too similar.” 
Jihoon read them over a couple of times, then shrugged. “They do sound pretty similar, but a lot of people go through that sort of thing. Also, so many people describe their crushes like that, but let’s be real, most of them end up being fuckboys. So trust me, both those people probably need your help. I mean, what’s the harm in publishing both, right?” 
“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” Joohyun bit her lip, needing every ounce of reassurance she could get from her best friend. She read over her writing once, twice, thrice more. This was it. No more edits and no more excuses. Her finger hovered over the mousepad. “Okay, I”m going to send it in for approval now. Jihoon, you are about to witness me publish my first article for The Front.” 
Joohyun took a deep breath and clicked. Finally.

Seventeen Members in Maid uniforms: Hyung Line
This post is inspired by a presentation I made for the SVTredroom squad lol and I just wanted to share. These are all purely my opinion based on my time working in a maid cafe lol. This ain’t super spicy but smutty stuff is still mentioned.
Tag List: @chewmycherry​ @suhdreams​ @hyeri-yah​ @peachycheol​ @risquewonu​
Seungcheol
So I’m a firm believer that Cheol would go for a more typical style maid uniform. 
Poofy short sleeves and a fluffy skirt
Either black or white thigh high stockings, but he wouldn’t wear a garter belt or anything so his stockings would like roll down because his thighs are hella thick
plain white katyusha headband
no gloves, and he would wear small pump heals with little buckles.
black spats under his skirt instead of bloomers. 
His petti coat would probably be either white, or one of svt’s colors.
It would over all be very basic, but his style would come out in his accessories.
His apron would probably be more of a waist apron with straps that come up on his shoulders. It would also be where his uniform shines.
Apron would probably have the Seventeen logo embordered onto one of the corners
also would have cute little bows on the apron, as well as a trim on the bottom of his skirt to match the bows on his apron. 
Overall, he’d be trying to set a good example as the leader so while his outfit is a bit basic it’d still be super cute.
Now for the smutty bits. Cheol is less likely to sub, especially if he’s wearing something like this. So if you ask him to wear this then you better expect to ride him while he’s wearing it.
There’d also be a small chance that he uses his apron to tie your arms behind your back, but only if you’re comfortable with it. 
He also surprisingly likes the feeling of your hands on his stocking covered thighs, the sheer material and your touch would just be too much for him.
He doesn’t mind the uniform but don’t expect him to wear it all that often.
Closest example: 
Tumblr media
Jeonghan
So I personally feel Hannie would go with a more Traditional/Victorian style uniform. Not for modesty’s sake but because he thinks it’s more elegant and he has appearances to keep up.
Long sleeves, ankle length skirt, black bow tied under his collar.
his sleeves would probably poof a the shoulder and then get tighter after the initial poof. 
He might wear gloves if he’s feeling it that day, but it’s all up to his mood.
Also would have a plain white Katyusha, with maybe some black ribbons at the edge of them.
He’d also definitely wear those glasses he has with the little chains? they would 100% match this look. Also instead of heals he would wear little Mary Janes with little white bows on the top.
So we all know Jeonghan is one of the freaky members, so under the dress he’d have a pair of sheer white or black stockings but they would be held by a garterbelt.
He also doesn’t wear his regular undergarments', he’s probably wear some kind of silky lingerie to tease if you just so happen to get a glance under his dress. 
Jeonghan would 100% be down for you fucking him while wearing the uniform. He would go full sub (bratty sub but still a sub)
His favorite type of scenario would be if you ‘caught’ him slacking off and take him from behind while he’s pressed against a wall. 
Closest Example: 
Tumblr media
Joshua
Josh would probably be in the same classification as Cheol with his more standard uniform
Plain black dress with the poof sleeves, but his skirt would be a bit on the shorter side.
His apron would be a bit different from the other though, more of an ‘underbust’ style of apron that’s kinda tighter on his figure.
Instead of gloves he would probably wear those little white wrist cuffs like Chippendale dancers wear. 
He would also be one of the members who wears actual panty hose instead of thigh highs. 
His heels would probably be some of the higher ones, but they wouldn’t be stiletto thin. 
His Katyusha would be less of the traditional kind and more like the tied lace ones that just sit on your head. 
His accessories would probably be some kind of collar or ribbon as a choker cause Joshua is a little freaky like that.
I personally think Josh would love fucking in the uniform, he loves letting you have control.
He would be one of the members that would probably really get into the ‘naughty maid’ role and would probably become completely submissive to you during this.
He loves when you leave marks on his visible skin and when you choke him, it leaves him shivering and trembling beneath you. 
Another thing he enjoys is when you tear his stockings instead of taking them off. 
Closest example:
Tumblr media
Junhui
So out of all the members, I think Jun would 100% be down for ANY TYPE of uniform.
Long skirts, short skirts, long sleeves, flowing sleeves, poof sleeves. He likes them all.
His favorites thought would be more of the high collars uniforms with ruffles on the chest. 
He would have the cutest petti coats, with a nice poof and it would either be a light pink or pale green. 
Jun would also be one of the few members comfortable wearing bloomers (aka pumpkin shorts) 
either black thigh highs or cute under the knee white socks, with a cute pair of flats.
Junhui LOVES having sex in his maid uniforms. He has a bunch of different ones for every occasion and will 100% let you peg him while wearing the dress.
He likes things starting out slow though, his favorite thing being when you slip your hand under the hem of his dress to tease him. 
Closets Example:
Tumblr media
Soonyoung
I’ll let you know now, whatever ideas you have about what Soonie would wear. You’re right.
He would without a doubt have a keyhole maid uniform, but instead of it being a heart it would be the cat head ones (he would call it a tiger head).
His apron would even have a little cat tiger paw embroidered into it.
Instead of a Katyusha he would have a pair of tiger ears and little tiger paw gloves as well.
Besides his tiger accessories, his apron would be super cute with lots of ruffles.
His basic dress would either be black or pink, but he would be determined to find an orange one. he might even commission one.
Just like Junhui he would love fucking in the uniform, subbing or doming it doesn’t matter. He’s one of the more open members when it comes to sexy times so this would be just another fun time for him.
He’s more playful during sex so expect to hear some Horanghae’s here and there. 
Despite his usual attitude he’s also pretty good at roleplay so if you’re down for it then so is he. His favorite scenario is the maid who is secretly a spy who gets caught by their boss and fucked into submission. It’s exciting for him.
Closest example: 
Tumblr media
Wonwoo
So...Wonwoo would be one of the member’s that is...a little harder to convince to wear the uniform. Which made it harder to find a uniform style that he would be comfortable wearing.
I feel he would go for a cyber maid kinda look, since he’s kinda a gamer nerd it would probably be something he would find...neat.
It would also differentiate from a standard uniform more than more other members.
An aline skirt, strapless dress with a kind of jacket look to it. 
his apron would be smaller, and would only tie around his waist.
Like Joshua he would also wear panty hose but his would be skin colored and would have designs that resemble circuits on them.
Surprisingly he would try out stilettos, and would actually look hella fine wearing them. 
Over all he would have  a smore sleek and stylish design to him.
I don’t think he would be comfortable having sex in the uniform, maybe a bit of foreplay but once things get serious the dress is coming off.
Closest Example: 
Tumblr media
Jihoon
Just like Wonwoo, Jihoon isn’t to into this idea 
but if you ask with like super big puppy eyes then he would probably agree. On one condition.
he gets to be a military maid
Which usually is just a standard maid uniform with some kind of weapon.
His would probably have longer sleeves, his skirt would probably reach about knee length and he would wear a rather small pettie coat.
probably some black basketball shorts underneath though. but the skirt would be long enough that they would be hidden. 
Would probably wear some kind of platform shoes for intimidation factor.
He wouldn’t really have a lot of accessories, over all a pretty plain outfit.
Somehow you would be able to convince him to do a photoshoot and he would 100% do a ‘step on me’ picture.
Sadly Jihoon does not feel comfortable fucking in the dress unless you’re the one wearing it. So don’t expect any fun times until he’s properly changed.
After that though, expect to be up all night because he is definitely getting you to put on one that he bough for you. 
Needless to say, you’re not sleeping.

Fanservice?
Jeonghan X Y/N
Summary: (fluff, slight angst) Being best friends with Yoon Jeonghan had it’s benefits, but what happens when the line between fanservice and something more starts blurring? (I am so bad at summaries I’m so sorry)
Tumblr media
Most girls would say you were the luckiest girl in the world. After all, you were a famous idol, rookie actor, and the very best friend of one of the members of Korea’s biggest bands. The last fact still baffled you till today, but you wouldn’t change it for a thing.
You met Yoon Jeonghan during an award show, your first encounter being quite hilarious. You had wandered into the hairstyling room and decided to befriend the female idol who was getting her hair done. Much to your embarrassment, the person who turned around was actually Jeonghan with his long hair. It made introductions much less awkward though, plus the fact that you were both rookies and could be informal with each other, it wasn’t long before the two of you were chatting like long lost friends.
Fast forward nearly five years later, both of you were doing wonderfully in your respective careers. Seventeen was becoming one of the top boy bands of Kpop, and you were one of the most popular female soloists. Your friendship only grew stronger throughout the years, and everyone knew about it. The two of you were often invited onto reality shows together and became known as ‘partners in crime’ due to your competitive natures and willingness to cheat bend the rules at every opportunity.
Of course, being friends with Jeonghan automatically gave you 12 other friends, which you all got along with. You were over at their studio so often you had already released a collaboration with Jihoon, uploaded a danced to a cover with Soonyoung, and had promised Hansol you’ll record a mixtape with him soon. 
But none of their friendships could compare to your best friend, Jeonghan ‘got’ you in ways no one ever could. You could both talk for hours about useless topics like which hair colour on Seungcheol was superior or your deepest secrets that only the two of you knew.
Being a normal girl with feelings, despite initially thinking of Jeonghan as your brother, the small increase in your heart rate whenever you saw him recently could only be evidence that your feelings towards your friend were changing. It wasn’t your fault really, Jeonghan was a naturally touchy and clingy person. The closer he felt to you, the more touchy he would be, just look at all the Jihan fancams.
Somehow, you haven’t received many death threats from his adoring fans. If anything, they seemed to ship the two of you together. When Jeonghan first grabbed your arm on-screen during the results of one of your games, Twitter went crazy. The ship name of the both of you was trending for days. From there, both your companies decided it wouldn’t be a bad thing for both of you to be more touchy. ‘Fanservice’ was what they called it. And that was how your little crush on Jeonghan blossomed.
However, nothing would be worse than ruining your perfect friendship, and you knew Jeonghan being touchy with you had nothing to do with his feelings. But the more you tried to ignore your feelings, the more you died a little whenever he grabbed your arm or clung onto you in front of the cameras.
It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just for the fans. Y/n, get a grip on yourself.
You thought you were doing a good job of acting like you were okay, but when Joshua pulled you aside one day after their practice, you realised it might have been a bit obvious.
“Hey, you okay? Did you and Jeonghan have a fight or something?”
“Huh, no why would you think that? We’re okay.”
“Uh-huh, sure. That’s why you look like you smelt something bad whenever he touches you, and forget how to breathe when Jeonghan gives you his ‘angel’ smile. Come on Y/n, next to Hannie I’m your closest friend, you can’t fool me I know how you feel about him.” Joshua gave me a knowing look.
“But whatever I feel about him doesn’t matter! I know he acts that way around everyone, he definitely doesn’t think of me that way. And besides, if I’m this obvious to you, he probably already knows and is avoiding the topic because he feels bad for me.” I covered my face with my hands, trying to not let Joshua see that my tears were threatening to fall.
“Aww Y/n, don’t cry.” Ever the gentleman, Joshua pulled me into a hug and patted my head. “Who knows, I personally think Jeonghan is one of the least observant people I know, he probably has no clue. And if anyone has the best shot at going out with him, it’s definitely you. Look, even the fans agree. Why don’t you try letting him know your true feelings, it can’t be easy continuing to act this way.”
As much as you were dreading it, you knew Joshua had a point. Your little crush on Jeonghan wasn’t so little anymore, and your friendship with him was going to get worse if you kept this to yourself. Okay, you’ll tell him tomorrow.
Your plans were ruined, however, as Jeonghan seemed to be in the worst mood ever the next day. He hardly ever got angry or annoyed, so seeing him so grumpy was unusual. Worst of all, he only seemed to be angry with you. He would play around happily with the boys and hug them just like normal, but when he met your eyes the light disappeared and was replaced by a glare. Jeonghan and you fought before of course, but never this bad and you didn’t even know the reason why.
Forget confessing to him, you now pulled Jeonghan aside to find out what was his problem. He frowned at you but let you drag him to a nearby empty studio.
“What’s your problem? Why have you been glaring and acting this way to only me the entire morning? Did I do something wrong? If I did I’m sorry I’m not sure what so could you please tell me?” You pleaded, nearly tearing up at the end because you couldn’t stand Jeonghan treating you like that anymore.
At the sight of your tears, his glare softened, but he still sounded annoyed, “Well some best friend you are, when were you gonna tell me about you and Josh? Can’t believe my two best friends would do that to me.” What? You and Joshua? How in the- oh you knew why he had come to the conclusion.
“Hannie no, we’re not together! Please, I don’t like Joshua in that way. He was comforting me because I liked someone else but they didn't like me back. I would never keep something like this from you.” Jeonghan didn’t look angry anymore,  but his eyes screamed disappointment?
“You-you like someone?” You didn’t want to hope but his tone did sound quite sad. “Well, who is it and why doesn’t he like you back? I gotta do my best friend duties and knock some sense into him!” Oh, nevermind.
You sighed as your heart internally broke into a million pieces. “Well, I don’t think you can knock some sense into yourself so it won’t help.” You mumbled, mostly for yourself to hear. But a hand reached out and grabbed your chin, lifting it up so that you were face to face with Jeonghan.
“The person you like is me?”
“I didn’t want to tell you this way but I guess it’s inevitable. Yeah, I do like you but it’s okay you don’t have to re-” You were cut off by Jeonghan’s lips. Wow, never thought you would say that.
“I hope this answers your question. Why did you think I was so upset over you and Josh? Also please, I’m abnormally clingy when I’m with you, and you know I never cared about the ‘fanservice’ idea our managers were talking about. It just gave me an excuse to be closer to you.”
Smiling until your cheeks hurt, you buried your head into Jeonghan’s chest, feeling like the luckiest girl in the world.
Note: I’m back! Hope you liked this fic, it’s kinda meh to me but I guess I gotta get back into the momentum of writing. Check out my masterlist for more fics!

SVT’s Reaction to Being Outed for Dating a Guy
Tumblr media
A/N: I’m perfectly fine with it, here you go bub!! And I hope fans of all pronouns/identities feel welcome on my blog, so if y’all want to request more pride stuff or specifically for fanboys, they/them fans, etc, then feel free to! Reaction & drabble requests are still open~
I hope you all enjoy this even if it may not be completely accurate ^^ ♡
S.Coups
Wbk he’s 100% supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, so he’s definitely aware of how Korea thinks of his relationship and doesn’t care about Korea’s opinions of him as an LGBTQ+ person. He still does a good job at hiding his relationship for his boyfriend’s sake, though.
Honestly, being the best leader he is, Cheol is the one with the situation under control... on the outside. He deals with the company and the media really well, but on the inside he’s an emotional mess because he’s worried about how his bf would react to the whole ordeal. Again, it isn’t the pride stuff he’s worried about; he cares for his boyfriend and wants him to feel safe after their relationship is exposed.
...Will smother his bf with love once they're free from the drama tho lol
Jeonghan
Jeonghan’s worried at first but he quickly gains the confidence that everything will be alright as long as he and his boyfriend maintain a healthy relationship. He’s not going to let the company tear them apart, much less “fans” and the public! He meets with the company early on to get everything sorted out and confirms his relationship (if his bf approves) so they don’t need to worry about being too secretive about it.
And after all the professional stuff? He lowkey owns it tbh. His way of dealing with the media is holding his boyfriend’s hand in public to show that “yes, we’re dating; your opinions aren’t going to change anything!” What a king.
Joshua
Because he’s from the USA, Joshua would be the most comfortable in this situation compared to the others. He's definitely worried and shocked, especially when the company says they need to talk to him about dating rumors. But his opinion is swayed by how his boyfriend feels, rather than the opinion of literally everyone else who doesn’t have a say in the relationship 🙃
If his bf doesn’t want to make the relationship super public, he understands completely; Josh will definitely want to show him off though! ;) A v caring man who probably posts the occasional selfie with his boyfriend. His mans should expect some guitar serenades too!
Jun
When the company calls him in to talk about dating rumors, he makes sure his boyfriend is with him, or at least tells his bf about how the company wants to proceed. He gets through everything while trying to be strong and not to show any doubts he has.
But c’mon, he would be the one that’s super giggly and obvious about his relationship after he’s outed. He posts funny pics with his boy on Weibo whenever they’re chilling together! (As Jun’s bf... you’re gonna have to tolerate that lmao.)
Hoshi
Honestly doesn’t really care about the company’s opinion that much. Probably posted pictures of one of the places they went on a date at and then someone got suspicious. He’s more concerned about his group members though, so he asks for their opinions and advice before even asking out his now-boyfriend. (Probably still asks for advice after he starts dating said boyfriend lol)
He’s worried about carats and Korea’s opinions, but he’s also not gonna let that stop him from loving and appreciating his boyfriend! His mindset is that they’ll get through it, and they’ll get through it together.
Wonwoo
His big brain is very aware about how he/his relationship is be viewed by the locals. Writes a statement explaining the situation if it was revealed in a really rude way (*cough* Dispatch). Ultimately he handles the media and rumors really well!
In terms of his members and boyfriend... he needs a lot of validation. He’s worried for sure, so he needs a lot of love and reassurance that he’s doing enough to keep his bf and the group safe. Hides from the media until the rumors die down or gets comfortable enough to show his relationship in public.
Woozi
Jihoon’s pretty responsible, but he knows that if he’s outed, he’s outed. He talks with the members about it since he’s worried how it will affect them and his boyfriend. (If his man is a celebrity like an actor/idol too... hoo boy he's so stressed.😢) He definitely worries that the media will harass his boyfriend or knetizens will ask him to leave the group.
Once the members and boyfriend comfort him and give him a lot of love, he’s calmed and is back to being himself! Keep his relationship mostly private, but probably writes a love song that carats just know was inspired by his boyfriend!
DK
He could care less about the company or the general public; what’s important is his bond with his boyfriend, his members, and carats (in that order). Mr. Sunshine Seokmin is emotional about the drama happening. He loves his boyfriend with all his heart and it shows, so he’s scared his bf will leave him out of fear or stress :(
He understands if his bf wants to break up and talks with him about it, but to his joy that won’t be the case!! After the stress passes, he’s still careful about how much of their relationship is shown to the public. But he’s definitely open to pda if his bf is okay with it! He’s excited to share his life an experiences with his boyfriend and to celebrate theirs too.
Mingyu
The company brought up dating rumors to him pretty quickly because of his previous ‘scandal’ and they want to prioritize his safety and avoid another once. But once he’s outed, he knows there’s no going back, so he goes with the flow and starts posting pictures of him and his boyfriend with no fear!! He either posts on his Instagram account if they ever start using their accounts again, or he lets his bf post pics wherever he wants. He’s cautious, but also, who cares?!
He tries to separate his relationship from Seventeen as much as possible, but doesn’t shy away from the idea of doing a Vlive with just him and his bf. Definitely a couple trying to show Korea that love is love and Mingyu can date whoever tf he wants!!!
The8
Minghao’s super professional about everything and cautious because of Korea’s views. But if there is a slip-up (maybe during or after a date where someone snaps a picture), the moment he sees that someone has found out about his relationship, he talks about it with his bf. The members are told right after and he makes plans to talk to the company.
His priority is his boyfriend’s privacy and safety, especially if his bf isn’t a celebrity; Minghao’s super protective and is more cautious the next time(s) they go out together. If the relationship is eventually confirmed, it’s intentional and to show that he’s living his best life and that carats should too! (Though he probably won’t say anything about his relationship other than that.)
Seungkwan
He’s fine at first since the meeting with the company went well (thanks to Seungcheol's support) and the company suggests they reveal the relationship. But right after, Seungkwan’s an emotional wreck... there are times he feels like crying because of people leaving super inconsiderate comments and other times he feels enraged because of negative comments about his boyfriend. He takes a break from social media because of this.
Once the rumors died down and carats accept his relationship, he’s gushing about his man whenever he gets the chance! Interviewers are always asking him about what it’s like to be LGBTQ+ in a kpop group, but he always redirects the conversation to be about his boyfriend and how happy they both are!! I refuse to believe Seungkwan will be anything less than an amazing, caring boyfriend despite the whole situation.
Vernon
Vernon’s another member that’s more focused on how his boyfriend feels about the situation, rather than the company/Korea/fans’ reaction. It's scary for him to be outed like that, but his family (biological & svt) is very supportive of him and his sexuality! He would ask for a lot of advice from other LGBTQ+ idols (including fellow members, if they happen to be dating a guy at the time) for how they dealt with the initial wave of drama and criticism.
Just another boy that’s chill on the outside but is gonna need a lot of love to get through it all :’) Keeps most of his relationship off of social media, but if his boyfriend wants to post something, he’s okay with that!
Dino
He’s nervous mostly about the company’s reaction and the status of his relationship. He trusts that carats will be supportive, but he’s worried that the company or bf will react badly, so he talks a lot with the group first about his relationship even before he’s outed! He also discusses everyone’s reactions with his boyfriend. He wants to handle it well to show he’s capable, especially to his younger siblings & family, so the only person to know if he’s really feeling stressed is his boyfriend and maybe the members!
After being outed, he still wants to keep his relationship private. He doesn’t stress to much if he’s caught out with his bf once or twice, but he values his privacy and will only show his bf off if they are both in a secure point in their relationship.

Chapter 3.
Tumblr media
Tuesday | NYC Institute of the Arts | Rooftop Café17 | 01:47 pm
“I’m not saying tie dye is ugly, I’m just saying there’s a reason it’s never been used in fashion before. Like, ever.”
“Sounds like you just think it’s ugly.”
Wonwoo wasn’t really paying attention to his friends. Whenever Vernon and Minghao started yet another discussion about fashion he usually zoned out into his own thoughts until they decided to let him decide who was right, as if he understood what they were even talking about. There was a good reason that he designed games and they designed clothing.
“Wonwoo what do you think about multi colored clothes?” Wonwoo looked over at his friends and thought for a second.
“Depends. If you’re talking about color blocking, I love it. If you’re asking me if I think Vernons shirt is ugly. I do. I hate it.” Minghao threw his head back in laughter and clapped his hands so loud, people around them started looking where the sound was coming from.
“You’re both assholes, you know that right?” Vernon took an angry bite from his chicken sandwich. Wonwoo chewed on his cheek instead. He wasn’t hungry today. It had been three days since he scribbled his e-mail address on a post it note for Mingyu to take. He wasn’t even sure why he was thinking about it so much, but just the thought of Mingyu never actually sending the pictures kept running through his mind. After thinking about it for another five minutes he couldn’t take it any longer.
“Hey guys?” The two mouths that had been excitedly talking about their weekend and the weird night out they’d had both shut and his friends shifted their focus on Wonwoo now.
“How long do you think it takes for a photographer to, you know, edit pictures?” Minghao raised his eyebrows in suspicion, since this was so obviously not a Wonwoo kind of question. Vernon, however, never really questioned anything and reacted right away.
“Well, it depends on how many shots they took and how much editing those shots need in terms of photoshop and stuff.”
“They’re just portrait shots of one guy that someone took at the shop. I was wondering when he’s going to e-mail them to me.” Vernon opened his mouth to answer, but Minghao beat him to it. As usual he could see right through Wonwoo as well as Jun did. It was something about his Chinese friends that made it impossible to hide things from them.
“Are you waiting for the pictures or for him to contact you?” It was Vernons turn to raise his eyebrows now and before Wonwoo could even think of an answer, Minghao spoke again.
“You’re usually never impatient, much less when it’s about something you don’t really care about, like, I don’t know, pictures from the flower shop. Spill it Wonwoo, who is this guy.”
Wonwoo let out a breath. They got him. He shouldn’t have asked them about it and just waited it out. Now he was going to tell them all about his dumb crush and they were going to ask him about it all the time. He could feel the panic under his skin, knocking at his bones again, but he calmed himself down. He wasn’t going to let it get to him over something as silly as this. Vernon and Minghao were his friends and even though they didn’t know about his anxiety disorder, they wouldn’t make fun of him for anything. They never judged anyone and they wouldn’t start now.
“Okay, so-“ Two bodies turned his way dramatically. “All I know really, is that his name is Mingyu and that he’s a photographer. He said that the shots were for his portfolio as well as the model’s, so I doubt he’s a professional. Oh and he’s straight.”
“He’s straight?”
“Yeah I know, but I was already kind of crushing on him when he told me that he thinks he doesn’t like guys, so it was a little too late for me to do anything about it.”
Both boys nodded and Wonwoo saw them think about answers to questions he didn’t ask. They were looking for solutions for problems that didn’t exist yet, and even though he loved his friends for it, he didn’t need to hear their two cents on the situation, so he cut them off.
“Don’t worry though, he’ll send the pictures soon and that’ll be the end of it.”
Before another word was said, Wonwoo could see Juliette walk their way. She always walked so lightly, like nothing was weighing her down. Her brown ponytail swung across her back and she seemed to glow in the light that beamed down on the rooftop café. She was the prettiest girl Wonwoo knew. He waved at her to divert attention from his miserable story and all was forgotten when Vernon saw his girlfriend come over.
“Hey guys!” She pecked Vernon’s cheek and took a seat next to him. Vernon looked at her with stars in his eyes for a second and Wonwoo felt a little jealous as usual. Who could blame him though. The two had been in love since they talked for the first time and had been together for 5 years now, still as in love as they’d been that first day. They were the couple that handled their problems before talking to anyone else about them and the kind of couple that got along with each other’s friends well, but still gave each other enough space to live their own lives. They were the kind of couple to sit next to each other after being together for 5 years and still secretly hold hands under the table just because they liked it. It was cute.
“Hey, what’s up? Don’t you have class now?” Vernon asked. She shook her head and made a pouty face. “It got cancelled because miss Claudette fell ill. She’s my favorite teacher though, so I hope she gets better soon. And I really like her class, so I’m a little sad now.” She shrugged her shoulders and took a sip of her coffee. “Hey Jules?” It was Minghao. She raised her eyebrows at him and hummed a response.
“Do you know anyone in photography by the name Mingyu?” Wonwoo almost choked on his spit and avoided Vernon’s surprised look to shoot daggers from his eyes at Minghao. Juliette was sweet and he trusted her for sure, but Minghao knew that Wonwoo didn’t like talking about his personal stuff to people.
“Mingyu? Uhhhh Mingyu, Mingyu, Mingyu… No, I don’t think I know him. There’s a Min-gi, though. Maybe that’s the one you’re looking for?” Minghao turned to look at Wonwoo who shook his head no. “No, it’s definitely Min-gyu. Kim Mingyu, I think.”
“No, I don’t think we have anyone in the photography department with that name, sorry.” She didn’t ask any more information and Wonwoo was glad. She was like Vernon in a way that they were willing to help you as much as you needed them to, but they didn’t push you to tell them more.
“It’s okay,” he said. “It’s not really important anyway. I have to go, though. See you guys around.” He took his own empty cup and other trash off the table to throw it away and the others waved at him before he walked off. He didn’t really have to go. He was just leaving because they were talking about him too much for his liking. Wonwoo knew that they were just going to continue without him now, but as long as he wasn’t there to hear it, he didn’t really mind.
Wonwoo debated on whether to go home or to the flower shop to work on his project, but a text from Jihoon already decided for him.
Jihoon: I’m in WOOZI mode
He chuckled. Whenever he got that text he knew what time it was. Jihoon was in a huge producing flow and was making magic in their room. WOOZI was the name he produced under and this simple text let Wonwoo know not to come home for a while to not disturb the process. Some people would’ve thought it’s annoying not to be able to go home, but Wonwoo didn’t mind. It had been a while since Jihoon had sent him anything like this or let him hear a new song, so Wonwoo put his phone into his pocket and was on his way to the shop.
Tuesday | Pledis Flowers | 06:03 pm
Wonwoo was debating on what he would have for dinner. He’d been working on his game for a while without making a lot of progress for a few hours. He could get some Mexican takeout and treat Jihoon for doing well today. He was just about to text if his roommate had dinner plans yet, when his e-mail app showed a notification. Heart beating, fingers shaking, breath quickening. Wonwoo opened the e-mail and there it was. Mingyu’s name.
Hey Wonwoo!
I attached a folder with the shots I ended up choosing for my portfolio :)
I hope you like them enough to put them on the website!
I also added some tulips that I took a picture of the other day because I know you like flowers. Or I think you do, since you work in the flower shop haha
Anyway let me know what you think,
Mingyu
Wonwoo didn’t miss the way Mingyu added 10 numbers under his name. He gave Wonwoo his phone number. Wonwoo scolded himself for thinking too much about it. It just meant he preferred to discuss the pictures over the phone. That’s it.
With one click on the attached folder, Wonwoo held his breath. Jeonghan looked more like an angel than ever in these pictures. The lighting from outside hit his features perfectly and Wonwoo took a moment to appreciate the color correcting Mingyu had done to the pictures. They looked amazing and professional.
The last picture just showed an unedited shot of some pink and yellow tulips that made Wonwoo smile. He felt proud for somehow being a small part of this and he called Joshua over to show him the pictures. Seungcheol was with a customer and Wonwoo knew he didn’t really care much for the pictures anyway.
Josh stood behind him as Wonwoo opened the first one and with every new picture he could just feelJoshua go crazier. None of them said anything until the last picture was on the screen. “That’s all of them,” Wonwoo said. He looked over to his colleague to see what he could only describe as a man in love. Joshua was still staring at the screen with eyes glazed over, like his mind wasn’t really in the room anymore. “I’m in love with him. Good god, I’m so in love Wonwoo. I need to see him again.”
Wonwoo gave him a soft smile. He’d never seen Joshua like this. Usually it was all overly confident remarks and flirting, but the way he was looking at the pictures right now told Wonwoo that this time things might be different. He clicked the picture off the screen and it now showed the e-mail Mingyu sent him. He was about to close that tab, too, when Joshua stopped him.
“Wait, he gave you his phone number?” Big eyes stared at Wonwoo and he felt slightly uncomfortable at the fact that Joshua knew about it now. It had felt kind of secret before, and Wonwoo realized he actually liked it like that.
“Um, yeah, I think he wants me to let him know if I like the pictures that way.” Joshua all of a sudden seemed to be completely back into reality and he was almost shaking with excitement. “Wonwoo, this is perfect! You can help me get to Jeonghan through Mingyu! You have to call him right now! Please?”
Wonwoo thought about it. He didn’t want to ask Mingyu to help out arrange things for Joshua. Especially since he’d already mentioned he doesn’t like to get into other people’s personal business. What if he felt used or even got mad at Wonwoo for suggesting it?
“Not right now, but I’ll see what I can do, okay? But if I get too nervous about it please don’t be mad. I’m not even sure if I even have the guts to call him at all.”
Joshua nodded. He understood. “Yeah, that’s okay, just think about it, okay? You wanna grab dinner together? I’m craving pancakes.” Wonwoo shook his head no and told Josh he was probably going to treat Jihoon to Mexican food, since he worked hard today.
They talked a little about the pictures with Seungcheol while they worked on cleaning and organizing the shop and Wonwoo walked out with them to close for the day before waving them off and walking the other way to take a subway to his dorm. He decided that he’d just order takeout and pick it up before heading into the dorms without even asking Jihoon. He knew the boy probably hadn’t been outside anyway, so Wonwoo thought he could take the risk.
Tuesday | Wonwoo’s dorm room | 09:16 pm
Leftover takeout was on the floor and soft hip hop was playing in the background. Jihoon had told Wonwoo all about his new tracks and said that taking a walk the other day had really helped him out, so he decided to go for a walk every night from now on.
Wonwoo had his eyes closed and he listened to the sounds coming from Jihoons speakers. He didn’t hear the lyrics though. All Wonwoo could think about right now were ten little numbers. They spun around his head in a loop, demanding his attention. They made him nervous to no extent, but he knew they wouldn’t stop their torture until he pressed them into the screen on his phone and clicked the call button.
And he wanted to, he realized. He wanted to call Mingyu and talk about the pictures, just to hear his voice. Maybe they could talk about other things, like why Mingyu wasn’t majoring in photography and what he did do. Wonwoo didn’t know if he’d have the balls to ask about it, though. But he was going to call him right now. He had to.
Quickly, so he didn’t have any room to change his mind, Wonwoo pressed the numbers into his screen. He only saw them twice in the e-mail, but it had been enough to know them by heart already. Wonwoo blamed it on being a visual learner. With a shaky thumb he put the phone to his ear to hear it ring.
Pick up. Don’t pick up. Don’t. Don’t. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. No, don’t-
“Hello?” Shit.
“Hi, um… Is this- is this Mingyu?”
“Yeah this is he. Wait, Wonwoo is that you?” As every time, Mingyu switching to Korean made Wonwoo feel comfortable and a little light inside.
“Yeah, it’s me, hi.” He should’ve thought about what to say. This was awkward. Mingyu was going to think he’s weird. Great job Wonwoo.
“Oh hi! I’m so glad you called!” Mingyu sounded like the overexcited puppy that Wonwoo remembered, and it made him think that maybe this wasn’t all that awkward as long as Mingyu kept talking to him like this.
“Did you see the pictures I sent you? Wait, of course you did. You wouldn’t have called if you didn’t.” Wonwoo’s heart fluttered, because Mingyu was also nervous. “Yeah, I did. They were wonderful. So pretty.”
“Wonderful. I don’t think anyone’s said that about my pictures before. It sounds nice. Thank you.” It took a few seconds of silence to realize Mingyu couldn’t see him smile and Wonwoo felt a little stupid, but then Mingyu talked again and Wonwoo wondered if he didn’t hate the fact that Wonwoo was so quiet.
“So, I was thinking. I’ve been working on my portfolio for a while, but- I’m really bad at the whole design part of it. I can’t seem to make it look nice, no matter what I do. Would you, only if you want to, please help me out with it? Just give me some advice about coloring maybe, or placement? I’m really at the end of my wits here. I’ve spent hours on it already, but it still…” he laughed. “Yeah it looks like shit.”
Wonwoo laughed too. He liked that Mingyu was asking him for help. Not just because it’s him, but because it was a good thing that Mingyu wasn’t afraid to own up to his mistakes and it’s something that Wonwoo found to be a sign of good character. His mom had taught him that back when he was small. She also said Wonwoo was a little too good at it, since he saw mistakes that he didn’t even make. She was always right.
“Do you want to send it to me so I can make notes on it?”
“Actually, I think it’s best if we meet up. Is that okay with you?”
Wonwoo’s heart quickened and he tried not to breathe too fast so Mingyu would hear it. It was fine, this was fine. It was completely okay.
“You can pick the place if it makes you feel more comfortable.”
There it was again. Mingyu sensing Wonwoo’s anxiety, even through the distance of a phone call. Mingyu taking steps back to make him feel more at ease. Whether that be physical steps like the first time they met, or just a step back in his excitement over the phone, because he could tell it overwhelmed Wonwoo.
“Yeah, we can meet. I’ll think about the place. Is it okay if I text you about when and where?” All of a sudden being on the phone with Mingyu felt too close for Wonwoo and he wanted to get away from it.
“Oh, okay, yeah that should be fine. I’m available any night this week except for Friday.”
“Okay, I’ll see when I’m free. Goodnight Mingyu.”
“Wonwoo?”
“Yeah?”
“Were the flowers wonderful as well?”
Wonwoo closed his eyes so hard he saw white and all of a sudden he wanted to scream, or cry, or hit something. Mingyu was so incredibly nice to him and Wonwoo didn’t want him to. It was too much.
“They were,” he managed to squeak out.
“Good. Goodnight Wonwoo.”
Wonwoo hung up the phone and immediately a wave of panic hit him. Terrible thoughts washed over him. Thoughts that told him lies and that made him feel horrible about himself. Wonwoo curled himself up into a ball on his bed and tried to calm his breathing. The music in the background was so loud. Way too loud. But Wonwoo was frozen, so he couldn’t move to turn it down.
For twenty minutes Wonwoo panicked. His breathing went wild and his heart exploded with every beat. His hands shook and his head hurt so bad he wanted to split it in half to let out the monster hiding in his skull. After those twenty minutes his body gave up on him for the night, too exhausted to do anything else. Wonwoo fell into a restless sleep filled with scenarios in which he ruined everything.

What I Watched As A 2015 Carat
So I was watching some old SVT videos, and realized there's probably a lot of older performances that newer Carats don't know about. But there's a lot of great stuff, so here's a handful of performance videos I watched way too many times as a Carat in 2015 (before we were called "Carats" 😂) that I don't really hear people talk about. I may add if I think of more, and you’re ofc welcome to reblog and add your own!
Everything's under the cut; there's links to vids and lil descriptions 🤗
Predebut
MV appearances: As trainees, some of the members were in other Pledis MVs. Here’s a handy video that a nice person on YouTube made: [x]
Action: Because Seventeen has a long history with NU’EST, they used to cover NU’EST songs a lot predebut, and i always really loved this performance in particular. (Also Jihoon looks like a scene kid and i appreciate it)
Hello (NU’EST Cover): Alright I’m adding this one asjdnaj I was only gonna put one NU’EST cover on the list, but then I rewatched this one for the first time in forever, and remembered how good it is
Call Me Maybe: Hey you wanna watch Wonwoo dance center with a girl to “Call Me Maybe” while wearing a distressed denim vest? Me too. (And yes, as ruetherae helpfully pointed out, the boys are dancing with some trainees who would go on to debut with Pristin!)
Money Money Money: This has Hoshi, Jihoon, Chan, and Vernon, and it's a predebut dance video that I really love and never hear people talk about
Seventeen Project
If you haven't watched Seventeen Project, you really should! I feel like as time’s gone on, less and less new fans have seen it. There's a lot of good stuff in there, it’s an important part of the boys’ history, and back in 2015 it was the main source of SVT content lmao I could list all of their performances on the show, but I won't~ But here's a few worth noting:
Taste + Bed Breaker (TBB): Still my favorite SVT choreo tbh
No F.U.N original: So they did a challenge where they were split into random groups, and they wrote and performed songs, all of which they've gone on the rearrange and release on an album at some point. No F.U.N was the winner of the challenge for a reason; the original performance is so good! Every album, fans would be begging for No F.U.N to be on it, and then finally it was 🙏
Hello original: i still prefer this version of "Hello". I LOVE the chorus, it just flows so much nicer. I'm sad they changed it when they rearranged it for the album. I think the pacing in the second half of the rearranged chorus makes it sound choppy and unnatural. If you haven't, give this one a listen and let me know what you think!
Drift Away original: This one's good, but I think they improved it a lot for the album
OMG original: I like this one as much as the performance unit version. I like the rap parts, the choreo, and i think Jihoon's voice suits the song particularly well.
2015
Shining Diamond MV: I wasn’t gonna put this on here bc I figured everyone’s seen it, but there’s less than 3 mil views, so maybe not?
Bindaetteok Gentleman: The performance that made me want to make this list! It's a cover of an old, funny Korean song, and the boys have some real handsome looks going~
Sorry Sorry: Seventeen's always been compared to and admired Super Junior, and the number of members mean they can pull off the choreo well. (Before I was a Carat, i was an ELF, so i would get VERY excited to see Seventeen performing any SJ songs lmao)
Adore U Vocal Unit Acoustic version: If you've only heard the vocal unit version of “Adore U” that's on "Love & Letter", you are MISSING OUT. The vocal unit put out this one during Adore U era, and Josh arranged it. I got so excited when I saw it on the L&L tracklist, then disappointed it wasn't the same. It's better imo 🤷 (also they're all rocking some major Boyfriend Looks™)
Adore U Performance Unit version: Hey this one's fun lmao It’s got some awesome choreo around the Pledis building and Josh randomly popping up with his guitar
MAMA 2015: Mansae: they worked the desks into the choreo so well and yooo that part where Hoshi jumps on the desks just as they push them together gets me every time, u gotta watch it
MAMA 2015: Monsta X Collab: MONTEEN MONTEEN MONTEEN I love Monteen, and this stage is great and often forgotten about
Soundcloud: Ah yes their Soundcloud! The boys still put stuff up there (like Dino’s & Minghao’s tracks), but if you haven’t gone back further and listened to their predebut stuff, you should~ (‘Wally’ and ‘Sunshine Remix’ with Yooara are personal favorites)
After 2015
Here's some more underrated performances that aren't from 2015, but seem to get forgotten a lot:
DOC 와 춤을: okay i used to watch this like every day ascvnk its so happy and everyone in the audience, whether they're a Carat or not, is having fun. Seventeen's always been great at covering old songs and GG songs in great and respectful ways, and this is just one of many. It’s impossible to watch it without smiling 😊💕
The Other GG Medley No One Talks About: SVT did a girl group medley on Music Core, and it’s really great, but they also did this one of some older girl group songs for Gayo Daejun in 2016 and no one talks about it but i like it a lot
The Cursed™ Sketchbook Performance: So for this appearance, fans in the audience weren't doing what they were told, and the boys suffered the consequences. So this performance gets pushed to the back of many Carats' minds. Repressed, if you will. But its a great performance! The boys put together a special stage just for the show, and despite everything, they worked hard and it deserves to be seen, and that's why i decided to add it.
Lastly, ik i said i would stick with performances, but i feel like new fans don't know this because he doesn't do it anymore. But jihoon used to dougie like all the time 😂 here's a couple vids: [x] [x]

Seventeen (Vocal Unit) Reaction to Their S/O Flinching During a Fight
Okay, wowie it’s been a long time but here we are back at it again. Gonna finish up this series because I love it. Even though reading/writing angst makes me super sad. Sorry if I’m rusty everyone, I’ll try my best.
~Izzy
Tumblr media
Warning(s): There is no actual domestic abuse depicted in this reaction but it could possibly be triggering still to those readers
Hip Hop Unit
Jeonghan: Jeonghan always strikes me as the kind of person who is super caring. So even though the two of you would be in a heated argument, he would still be very aware of your condition. He would be upset and angry, but even in this kind of situation, nothing mattered to him more than your well being.
An argument started when the two of you were playing around and having a little banter. The mood was lighthearted and playful and he took it just a little too far. Usually, this wouldn't be that big of a deal seeing as your relationship was one where you were both very open and could talk about things like this. However, tonight for some reason Jeonghan couldn’t see the issue in what he had said even after you said it was hurtful. Somehow this back and forth escalated into a full screaming match where both of you were accusing the other of many different things. Because neither of you fought much in this relationship neither of you knew how to back down. That was until JeongHan went to run his fingers through his hair and he watched you flinch away from him, fear evident in your behavior and body language.
Immediately the caring and loving man you knew would return. Not only was he deeply concerned for you at this moment but also he was disappointed in himself for letting the argument get the best of him and impeding on his abilities to care for you. He would approach you slowly and gently in an attempt to show that his intentions were nothing but kind and apologetic. He would take you in his arms and shush you trying to calm you and quell your fear. The argument could be sorted out later if that’s what you two wanted, but right now what was important to him was making sure that you were okay. 
“I’m so sorry baby. Let’s just take it easy okay? Do you need anything?”
Tumblr media
Joshua: Josh seems to me like someone who is very level headed in most situations. However, he is also very passionate that’s why when he sometimes gets too emotional about something he can take it too far. This includes things like arguments.
Josh had just gotten back from a long schedule which included and Inkigayo performance. One in which he had not only messed up the new choreo, but also one of his vocal lines. He had been working for a long time on this comeback so this fluke would really be eating at him. When he came home he would just brush you off and go on to do his own thing. You would try to approach him a few times, but he was not having it at all. After the sixth attempt to interact with your boyfriend he would snap. It was less f an argument and more of him just yelling at you. He was screaming about things that weren’t even relevant to the situation, but he couldn’t stop himself. He didn’t even realize how far he had taken it until he went to quickly move past you and you scurried away from you clearly panic-ridden with tear streaks down your face. 
He would realize how badly he had messed up, but he would still have a hard time calming himself down due to his earlier episode. Josh wouldn’t want you to ever think that he would do anything like that to you, but since he was still so heated he knew he just had to leave the entire situation. He would utter a very curt but sincere apology before excusing himself to another room or maybe even leave the apartment completely. It’s not that he wouldn’t want to fix it, of course he did, but first, he knew he had to calm himself down before he caused any more problems.
“I’m sorry. I’ll make this better when I come back.”
Tumblr media
Woozi/Jihoon: Woozi seems like the kind of guy who would rarely show any anger towards his partner. Not that he would never be upset with them, there were definitely times when he was, but he would always talk it out with them in a calm way instead of resorting to yelling. He would have to be extremely upset or in a very bad mood before he resorted to arguing or yelling. 
Woozi had been at the studio for almost 24 hours because of the upcoming comeback. Although deadlines were rapidly approaching, he still had yet to compose anything that he or the company thought was good enough to work with. This was taking a real toll on his mental state. He decided to take a break from composing and return home for a while to clear his head. However, you weren’t aware of the situation and assumed he had finally been able to get a song out and approved. Your immediate questioning about the new song really got under his skin and caused him to blow up on you. He would scream at you for being inconsiderate and nosy and continued to barrad you for a long time before he realized what he was doing. He would stop yelling and go to move toward you, but when you flinched back away from him that’s when the severity of the situation would really set in.
Although he is usually very good at adapting to different situations and overcoming adversities, this was one situation where he had no idea what to do. He would remain completely still for a while trying to figure out how to fix this. After a few minutes of excruciating silence passed he would explain everything to you and apologize without trying to get any closer to you. He would want to give you space and time before he tried anything more, but he knew this was all his fault and he would be willing to do anything to fix it.
“I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry this is all my fault. I can go back to the studio if you want, I understand.”
Tumblr media
DK/Seokmin: Although DK is a very cheerful and sociable person there are definitely times when he needs time to himself. After a hard day or something, he seems like the person to want to be on his own to recharge. It’s not that he didn’t want to see you, but he wanted to always be his best for you and didn’t want you to see him when he was down.
It had been a particularly difficult day for Seokmin and all he wanted to do was be on his own for a while to recharge. He hadn’t realized that you were home so when he got back and saw you he tried to hide his tired demeanor and be happy for you. However, this also took a toll on him, things that were normally fine and fun for him were really bothering him and getting more and more frustrated until the both of you got into an argument seemingly out of nowhere. All of his tiredness and frustration would come out on you making him say things that he didn’t mean. The argument would just continuously add on to his already foul mood until he couldn’t take it anymore. However, when he balled up his fists and made a groan of frustration causing you to turn away in fear he would realize what he had done. 
Seokmin’s features would soften as all his frustrations disappeared and he became only aware of his growing worry for you. When you turned around he would be kneeling on the ground near you with sad eyes and his hands reached out in a sort of peace offering. He was prepared to do anything to make it up to you, but he also knew that if you wanted to leave him he would have to be prepared for that as well.
“I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. I know you’re not going to want to stay, but please, please give me one more chance to make things right.”
Tumblr media
Seungkwan: To me, SeungKwan seems like the type to get into little arguments when he’s upset about things, but never would he try to escalate things. Even if he knew that if he pushed a little harder he would win the argument, he wouldn’t try it because he knows how that might affect you and he would never want you to get hurt because of him.
It had been a day where the other Seventeen members had been teasing Seungkwan quite a lot. While he would never let them know that it actually got to him, in reality, it very much got under his skin. So when he got to your apartment and you made one small joke, he would get really upset. The only reason he even considered escalating this argument is cause he was already upset from before, but as soon as he did it he realized that it was a mistake. The screaming match that started was something he never wanted but didn’t know how to take back. He was so desperate to stop this fight that at one point he reached out to grab your wrist in almost a silent plea. 
When you ripped your arm away from his grasp fear painted across your face he would be completely shocked. Not only did he not know what to do at all to reconcile the situation, but he would also get so mad at himself for even letting you get to a place where you thought he would hit you. His emotions got the better of him and he would break down into tears immediately going to you. He wouldn’t know what to do other than apologize in between cries.
 “I’m sorry.....I’m so sorry......”

Information: A really sappy with a little bit of probably unsucessfully writen “funny” moments; SEVENTEEN OT13 because that’s the sweetest thing
Ships: Mingyu x Wonwoo (Meanie); Junhui + Minghao (JunHao); a little bit of Joshua (Jisoo) + Jeonghan (JiHan) but not really
Summary: Joshua is moving to South Korea, after living in USA since he was born. He wanted to study in university there, but when he met his 12 housemates, he realized he was going to get much more than he has signed up for. Dealing with a new type of craziness every day, one thing was sure – there was no way he was going to feel bored here.

The twelve men were sitting in the big living room, spending their typical weekend together - it was something like a tradition to them. They were friends, they also liked to say they were a family, even though they sometimes couldn’t stand each other. Most of them had different personalities, yet all of them fitted so perfectly together.
“My girlfriend just dumped me, because I was too short for her. I don’t understand. Was I taller when we met? Couldn’t she just reject me in the beginning?” Jihoon complained, while looking at the wall thoughtfully.
“Maybe you were standing on your tippy toes when you two met for the first time so she thought you were taller than you are.” Seungcheol teased him and Jihoon sighed angrily, shooting him a deadly glare.
“Stop bullying the children.” Jeonghan stepped in.
“I’m not a child, you idiot,” Jihoon hissed. “I’m an adult and I should be treated as one.”
“Okay, as you wish, old man.” Seungcheol said mockingly, returning his eyes to his phone.
“Why are you all so immature? Sometimes I can’t believe I’m the youngest one.” Chan stated, looking at the older boys.
“All of you, shut up. I’m trying to read.” Wonwoo rolled his eyes with annoyance, trying to stay focused on his book.
“Wonwoo, let’s go out! I want to build a snowman!” Mingyu shouted excitedly, trying to make the older one get up from the couch.
“And I want to read a book.”
“Can’t you just go and build a snowman with your boyfriend? Please?” Mingyu looked with hope in his eyes. He looked like a child that wanted something, so he was making his typical puppy eyes, looking his cutest.
“No.” Wonwoo answered unfazed. He was somehow still resistant to his charm.
Another thing was that Mingyu and Wonwoo were dating. Wonwoo has never said it even once, but Mingyu kept mentioning it all the time, even though the older man neither confirmed nor denied it.
“You’re so antisocial it hurts. You know, I might go outside and find another boyfriend. Or girlfriend. Actually there’s this girl from our class who has a crush on me. I could go to her and give her a chance.”
“Go.” Wonwoo said monotonously, still keeping his eyes glued to the book.
“He is heartless, I give up!” Mingyu shouted with frustration and went upstairs to his room.
“He’s such a drama queen.” Seungkwan noted, sipping his tea calmly.
All the men in the room stopped what they were doing, just to look at Seungkwan. Even Wonwoo stopped looking at his book.
“What? Why are you all looking at me?”
“Because you’re usually the drama queen, Boo.” Hansol explained, smiling at Seungkwan.
Hansol was constantly trying to make Seungkwan get the hint, but he could never do that. The truth was that Hansol had a little crush on him, but the other didn’t seem to notice at all.
“I want my girlfriend back,” Jihoon frowned, looking at an image on his phone. “We only dated for like 2 days.”
“I honestly feel sorry for him.”
“And I feel sorry for all of you. Leave me alone, I want to read.” Wonwoo finally closed his book and showed some emotions, which were only negative.
He got closer to the stairs when Seokmin attracted his attention.
“Oh come on, you know you love us.”
“If you mean I want to kill all of you and live in this big house alone with my cat, then yes, your statement must be true.”
Wonwoo went upstairs and the others looked at him going.
“Guys, I’m bored, I’m going out.” Minghao said, as he stood up and got closer to the door.
“Can I come with you?” Jun asked, as he stood up.
The two Chinese men were almost always together, but the rest of the guys still couldn’t really figure out if they were dating or not.
‘’Yeah, sure.” Minghao put his shoes on, as Jun repeated his action.
When Minghao finally opened the door, he was surprised to see there was another person standing in front of the house.
“Uh, sorry, I was going to ring the bell, but I-“
“Oh, handsome” Minghao gasped and Jun looked at him discontentedly.
“Not as much as me, though.”
The newcomer didn’t seem to mind Jun’s comment at all, actually he chose to ignore it.
“I’m Joshua, your new housemate. Are there more people that live here?” Joshua asked curiously.
Joshua was so excited to come here, in South Korea, and live with other people. His parents were Korean, but he was born in USA, so he has never been to Korea before. Now that he was accepted to a university here, he was ready to begin his new life and improve his Korean.
“Too many for you to stay sane.” Jun answered and then he went out of the house, bumping his shoulder into Joshua’s on purpose.
Jun didn’t like the fact that Minghao thought Joshua was handsome. His comment automatically made him dislike the new one.
“Um…” Joshua was slightly uncomfortable with the way Jun was treating him, but he decided to try to stay positive. “Thank you for the information!”
“Is he for real…” Jun murmured and started walking.
“Wait for me!” Minghao shouted, then he went after Jun. “Don’t mind him, Jun can be a little rude sometimes.” Minghao warned before smiling and running to catch up with Jun.
Joshua stood in his place in astonishment. He have never seen such interesting people, even if this adjective wasn’t good in this case. He sighed and entered the house closing the door after him. He looked around and he noticed the men in the room, who were still a lot, even though Minghao, Jun, Wonwoo and Mingyu weren’t there.
“Hello!” Seungcheol stood up from his place, offering Joshua his hand for a handshake. “You must be our new housemate. I’m Seungcheol, the ‘dad’ of the house. Nice to meet you! If you have any problem with the others, don’t hesitate to tell me.” he smiled widely.
Joshua was really impressed. ‘Finally someone who behaves like a human’ he thought, while taking Seungcheol’s hand and shaking it slightly.
“I’m Joshua, but you can call me Josh. Or Jisoo, because that’s my Korean name.”
“Aww, such a cutie.” Jeonghan winked flirtatiously.
Jeonghan had this habit of flirting with every living and breathing creature. Most of the time he didn’t even realize he did it. It was not rare at all to see him in the university hall, stealing men and women’s hearts.
“Thanks, I guess” Joshua looked at the ground, feeling his cheeks redden.
He was called handsome and cute in less than 10 minutes and he was a little overwhelmed by all that attention he was receiving. He wasn’t used to this, so it was normal for him to feel shy. After he told his name to all the other men that were in the room he went to take a shower. He really liked the house and he felt that we was going to get on well with his housemates too. He was trying to think positively and actually things already seemed great.
A couple of weeks have already passed and he got used to the country, the house and his crazy housemates. He actually felt very comfortable around them – he realized they were just the right people for him since he was like them, he jokingly repeated they shared one braincell and maybe that wasn’t too far from the reality.
It was now Christmas time and the boys decided to go to their favorite café to celebrate. They already had a reservation so finding a table for 13 people wouldn’t be a problem. When they got there, they pulled three free tables together as they sat on the big couches and ordered coffee and hot chocolate, as well as some desserts.
“Say ah.” Mingyu looked at Wonwoo with a wide smile on his face and to everyone’s surprise the older one actually complied.
Mingyu took a little part of the dessert using his spoon and he put it in Wonwoo’s mouth. Wonwoo was chewing happily, while he was looking at Mingyu. As the others were looking at them, they looked just like the main characters from a movie.
When Wonwoo got closer to Mingyu and pressed his lips to the younger one’s, to say everyone was shocked was an understatement.
“Someone cover Chan’s eyes.” Seungcheol said worriedly, but this was actually a joke, since Chan didn’t seem to mind Mingyu and Wonwoo. Actually, none of them did.
“This is the best Christmas miracle that has ever happened to me!” Mingyu screamed excitedly, as he put his arm around Wonwoo’s shoulders.
And Wonwoo let Mingyu hug him without saying a word which was something nobody could ever imagine. It was a real Christmas miracle indeed.
“I love you.” Wonwoo said quietly, hugging Mingyu back.
“Ah, I love you too, Woo.” Mingyu kissed the older man’s cheek and after that he was smiling as widely as he could.
“You two are so cute you make me sick” Jihoon commented, sipping his coffee. “I found a new girlfriend, though.”
“Congratulations!” Joshua shouted, patting Jihoon on the shoulder. “I found one too.”
“Just looked at him. He came to live here not long ago and he already has a girlfriend and twelve friends too,” Jeonghan joked playfully. “Let me know if you decide you want a boyfriend, though”
“Oh, I definitely will.” Joshua laughed. “Guys, I’m not usually this sentimental but I wanted to give you something for Christmas, to thank you for everything. I feel as if we all have been friends for years now, I-I…” he stopped talking for a few seconds, feeling the tears forming in his eyes. “I love all of you and thank you. I can proudly call you my family.”
Joshua couldn’t hold back anymore, so he just started crying. Some of the men followed his example, standing up from their places to go and hug Josh. Others thought this was all too sappy for their liking, but still they deeply appreciated Joshua’s words.
Joshua opened his backpack and took out a small box. He opened it and showed it to the others.
“I bought this rings for all of us. I know it may seem sappy but I wanted to buy something special for all of you. The rings have our names and birth dates written on them” Joshua informed the others, while he was wiping his tears.
“Aww, why are you so sweet?” Jeonghan laughed quietly, hugging Jeonghan. “Thank you. The rings look amazing.”
The rest of the day the boys stayed together and went to many different places to just celebrate the fact they were friends, and it was Christmas. When Joshua was there with them, the boys felt nothing was missing anymore. Their friendship was what mattered the most and they planned to stay together as friends and as a family forever.

[Tales from the Pack] Hansol: Fire and Ice (Part Eleven)
Tumblr media
Characters: Hansol x female reader
Genre/warnings: werewolf au, fantasy, fluff, a lil bit of angst
Word count: 1,942
Summary: You’ve always been one to let your emotions get the best of you – your power reflects that – and you’ve never been good at expressing them. That’s why you always thought you’d be awful with a mate, but you never thought things would be this awful.
a/n: things in bold are in english
Previous | Next | Fire and Ice Masterlist
A few days had gone by since Hansol told the pack you were most likely staying for good. Of course you were still grieving and depressed, but nobody in Seungcheol’s pack ever looked at you weird, bothered you, or pressured you to do anything. They gave you your space, occasionally asked if you needed anything, and left it at that. If they hated you for how you treated Hansol or not, they decided to either not show it or just stay away from you, and you didn’t mind either option.
You also found yourself spending even more time with Hansol than you normally would. You didn’t see a point in leaving the house to avoid your mate, so you’d stay in his bedroom and just talk with each other most of the day. Of course, Hansol made sure you ate at least three meals a day, but he didn’t really force you to do much else. You appreciated that, and you found yourself quickly becoming more and more comfortable with him, even if it had only been a handful of days.
Hansol wasn’t blind to this change in you, either. He figured it was because there was no hostility or negativity around you. You were able to do things on your own without feeling nervous or pressured, and it was a nice thing for him to witness. It made him happy to see you start feeling better, especially so quickly. Yes, he knew you were still upset, but you were starting to show and express that better, too. There were no negative feelings around to fuel the ones you already felt because of your brother and what happened with your old pack.
“This still looks like shit,” you sighed, checking your mate’s back. You frowned as you looked at the silver veins buried in his skin from the net that encased him before, and it reminded you that Joshua was also not in the best shape anymore -- at least, that’s what Hansol told you. “Doesn’t it hurt a lot?”
“It’s fine,” he chuckled, looking over his shoulder to offer you a reassuring smile. “You’re starting to worry about me too much.”
You looked at him shyly, “I-is that bad…?”
He shook his head, turning his body to face you, “Not at all.”
As you watched Hansol look at you fondly, he realized he couldn’t read your expression at all. Normally, he always somehow could tell what you were feeling, but he’d never really seen this look in your eyes before. He didn’t even know how to describe it.
“How do you feel right now?” he wondered in a soft tone.
It wasn’t an odd question for him to ask, as he always wondered how you felt. Not only did it help him better understand how to act and comfort you, but it made you learn to express your emotions better. It benefited both of you.
You thought about it for a moment before nodding slowly, “I feel…good.”
His face broke out into a smile, “That’s good! Why do you feel good?”
“I don’t feel…” you hummed softly as you tried to think of just how to explain your thoughts, your hands moving to grab one of Hansol’s and play with it, “like I’m…what’s the word? …Burdening anybody, I guess? I can’t remember the word in English.”
“Did you feel like that with your pack?” he frowned a bit, glancing down at his large hand in yours before his eyes looked back up to study your face.
You nodded, “Because I kept doing things they didn’t like and acting a way they didn’t like. Then I stayed with Baekhyun for a little bit but I felt like an issue for him, too. I mean, I know a lot of your pack doesn’t like me right now, either, but--”
“Hey, that’s not true.”
“I appreciate you trying to make me feel better, but it is true,” you let out a sad chuckle. Then you let out a sigh and continued, “I know I owe them an apology, too, but you know how I am – I don’t know how to apologize to them. I’m too afraid to even look at half of them.”
“…Jihoon?” Hansol guessed.
“God, especially Jihoon – and Joshua, honestly.”
Hansol laughed, shaking his head, “Yeah, Josh is a little…yeah.”
“Grumpy,” you stated, not remembering the English word for ‘grumpy’, either. Your brain was just feeling a little scattered.
“Grumpier than even you.”
You rolled your eyes, but a smile formed on your face as Hansol giggled and leaned forward, pulling his hand away to wrap his arms around you. You’d become a lot more open to his hugs and cuddles, which he greatly enjoyed since he could now pull you in between his legs and hold you there for hours while the two of you talked. He took advantage of it all the time – like now.
“I love your grumpiness,” he promised, holding you in his lap and resting his cheek against the top of your head, your curly hair tickling his nose. 
“I'm not grumpy,” you corrected with a pout, “I’m just a bi–”
“Ah,” Hansol put a hand over your mouth, looking down at you with a soft but stern look, “what did I tell you about putting yourself down?”
Hansol was very adamant about helping you get better, and he insisted that dwelling on the past and talking about how awful you used to be toward him wouldn’t help. He now always cut you off before you could say anything mean about yourself, and wouldn’t accept anything less than you giving yourself some slack.
You looked up at him with a sigh, “You’re way too sweet to me.”
“No I’m not,” he said, shaking his head. “You deserve the patience.”
You and Hansol had this moment where you just stared at each other, looking into the other’s eyes. You could see all the fondness in the world in his eyes, and it made your heart clench because you didn’t deserve any of it, but you knew he wouldn’t accept you thinking you were undeserving of it.
Then you realized just how close your faces were to each other. You could smell his minty toothpaste as his breath softly hit your face, and you found your eyes drifting down to his lips that were a little chapped, but you still just had this strong urge to kiss them nonetheless. You were overwhelmed with this urge, so much so that you felt like if you didn’t just kiss him, you’d die. You weren’t really sure how to go about it, but you also knew Hansol would never make the first move because he was afraid of overstepping your boundaries.
Slowly and almost hesitantly, you brought your hand up to cup his cheek. You practically gulped as you leaned your chin up and just barely pressed your lips to his, letting your eyes flutter closed as you felt tingles where your skin met his.
Hansol was already relaxed into your touch before you kissed him. His heart was beating so quickly which was a stark contrast to his relaxed body. His arms stayed around you, but he didn’t make any moves to pull you closer or make any moves that might make you uncomfortable. Instead, he stayed where he was, but he wasn’t stiff about it.
You left your lips there for what felt like forever, not wanting to pull away, but also not wanting to take things further. You finally pulled away slowly – Hansol counted four seconds in his head, and those were the best four seconds of his life – only to have your entire face heat up when you saw Hansol’s gummy smile much wider than you’d ever seen.
“What was that for?” he giggled softly as you hid your blushing face in his neck.
You could’ve listed all the reasons, and you were fully prepared to. How patient he was, how he never gave up on you, his kind nature, how much he cared about not only you but everybody around him – literally every single thing about Hansol. But you realize that really, all of that boiled down to one thing. One thing that you’d already known since first laying eyes on him, but had been pushing back because you thought you hated him. One thing that you’d slowly but surely been coming to accept.
Too shy to say it while looking at him, your voice was muffled by his skin, but he still heard your words.
“Because I love you.”
You could feel the happy purrs that emitted from your mate’s chest, causing vibrations against your own chest that was against his, but you could also hear them loud and clear, which made you laugh.
Hansol’s arms tightened around you, unable to even explain how happy he was in that moment. This was a big step for you and it definitely meant things were getting better. You may not have been over what happened to Jiung, and you may still have your bad days, but you were moving forward in the right direction, and it was all he could ever hope for.
“I love you, _____,” he told you proudly, leaning his head down to coax you out of your hiding spot to look at him. When you did, he smiled wider  when your eyes met. “I always have, and I always will.”
-
You were awoken in the middle of the night by a loud shriek that felt like it was stabbing your eardrums with a fiery blade. You didn’t even have time to think about what Eunjin was doing – probably trying to hear the voices again – as you shot up in bed and doubled over, clamping your hands over your ears. You opened one eye to look at your mate, but you saw he was still just a lump under the blankets, completely frozen.
Your heart stopped.
“Hansol?” you asked as you removed your hands from your ears despite the pain of the noise, pulling the covers back. “H-Hansol…?”
You saw Hansol curled up and pressing one hand to one of his ears, the other pressed into the pillow. He peeked his eyes open to look at you with a mixture of pain and curiosity. You let out a sigh of relief as you shook your head and pressed your hands back to your ears as you waited for the sharp noise to stop.
It took a moment for the scream to die down, but you were finally able to put your hands down and let your body relax.
“What?” Hansol asked, releasing his ear and sitting up, rubbing your back soothingly.
“God, I thought you died!” you burst.
He coughed out a laugh, “What?”
“Eunjin screamed, and you weren’t moving like a normal person would’ve if their ears were bleeding!”
“Why would I be dead?”
“Because your back is still full of silver, you numskull!”
You heard a bang on the other side of the wall telling you to keep it down. Hansol chuckled, putting a finger to his lips as he looked at you.
You sighed, lowering your voice, “Hansol, you need to go get it fixed soon.”
“I will, I will” he promised, pressing a soft kiss to your temple. “Josh and I will go together.”
The two of you laid back down, curling up under the covers. You let Hansol drape an arm over you, watching as his eyes closed.
“I love you,” he said softly.
As you closed your eyes and nuzzled a bit closer to him, you mumbled, “I love you.”
