OKAY OKAY

I’ve been thinking about comfort fics for a while but everyone else writes for the characters comforting reader, so I was thinking maybe you could write for reader coming home from work and comforting a stressed out wonnie

He’s like stressed because he thinks he’s too young to be a leader and he thinks the other members want a different leader or something like that 🫶

Insecurities

Your day at work had been soulsuckingly exhausting, and all you wanted now was to cuddle with your boyfriend and get some good sleep. You hadn’t even been able to text him throughout the day because of just how busy you had been.

And once you finally got off of work, you were too tired to bother, just focusing on catching the correct bus to take you home as soon as possible.

You opened the apartment door, shrugging off your bag in the hallway, not caring to put it in the correct place for now. You took off your shoes as well and threw your coat on the chair, sighing and running a hand through your hair. 

Now to find where your beloved boyfriend was. You doubt he was sleeping already, but it wasn’t impossible. It all depended on how exhausting his own day was.

You opened the door to your bedroom slowly, finding him sitting on the bed, blanket over him already and scrolling through his phone. You smiled at first, not noticing that anything was wrong, until you looked a little closer.

His eyes were puffy and slightly red, and there were clear tear stains on his cheeks. He looked up when he heard the door open, smiling when he saw you were back. He patted the spot on the bed next to him, silently asking for you to join him, as if nothing was wrong.

You walked to the bed, sitting down beside him and snuggling into his chest. You waited for a bit before bringing up the elephant in the room, just enjoying the hug for a few minutes in silence.

“Did something happen, baby? Don’t think I didn’t pick up that you were crying.” You said softly, looking up to him with tired but loving eyes.

He gulped, wondering if he should lie and say it was nothing. But you would understand how he felt, right? 

“I just saw this post… and I know it’s stupid, but I can’t help but think that they’re right.” He said, and you could already see the tears forming in his eyes again.

“What post?” You sat up, ruining the hug but determined to shut down Jungwon’s negative thoughts. 

He handed you his phone, the lengthy hate post clearly the culprit here. You skimmed through it, scoffing at each paragraph and your anger rising at the sight of the hurtful words. 

“Jungwon doesn’t bring anything to the team”, “He’s too young to be an actual leader anyway”, “They should’ve made Heeseung or Jay the leader instead of him”. The post went on with similar statements, and you knew each hateful word pierced Jungwon’s heart.

You turned Jungwon’s phone off, setting it far away from him, before turning back to him and hugging him again, this time much tighter. 

“Do you think you’re a bad leader… because of what the post said?” You asked, your hand gently combing through his hair. He nodded, looking down and resting his head on your shoulder.

“But, the post was stupid.” You said simply. “They didn’t have any good reason - it was mostly based on you being young. Which is true, you are young, but that doesn’t mean you’re any less capable.”

You grabbed his hand, “Who cares if you’re one of the maknaes in the team? Trust me, you are the perfect leader for Enhypen, and you do it so well.” You said, the words of reassurance flowing out of your mouth as a natural response. You needed to drive your point home that Jungwon had no reason to feel insecure about this.

“Ask any of your hyungs, or Niki, or Engenes, or me… we all love and appreciate you as the leader. Heck, you placed 1st in I-Land for a reason.”

“Listen,” You cupped his cheek and turned his face towards yours. His eyes were big and watery, but you saw that he was hearing every word you were saying and believing them.

“I love you so much. You impress me every single day. You’re mature, and smart, and talented. And it’s not fair that you have to deal with this kind of hate. But if you’re ever feeling sad… just know that I’m here for you. You can always come to me when you don’t feel good.” You said softly, staring into his eyes, making sure he knew you meant every word you said.

He stayed quiet still and you pouted, “Where’s my happy, smiley boyfriend? I want him back.” You prodded, smiling and trying to make the mood a bit happier.

Still nothing.

“You won’t even smile?” You asked. He shook his head slightly. “Not even a little smile?” He stayed still, acting like a little kitten and just snuggling closer to you without staying a word.

You reached for his chin, tilting it up and pressing a kiss to his lips, “What about now? No?” You kissed him again.

“What about now?” You saw his lips start to curve up subtly and you smiled, pressing another kiss to them.

3rd time’s the charm, as you were rewarded with his cute smile finally.

“There it is. And my dimples too.” You said fondly, pointing out his dimples that appeared with his smile. 

You let him rest his head back on your shoulder, urging him to fall asleep since he was tired. You played with his hair softly, and your presence alone was enough to make him feel a million times better.

He was just about to drift off to sleep, his eyes closed and a small smile still on his face, “I love you.” He whispered.

“I love you too.”

He soon fell asleep, and you followed not long after, still curled up together under the blankets.

In love with my best friend💗 - PH-1 chapter 7

Genre: Everything (angst/fluff/ romance/violence/etc)

Main characters: Y/N (reader), PH-1/ Harry

Prev - Next

2 weeks went by and today is the day that we are able to finally see each other again, because it is the day our our trip to Ibiza. I'm super thrilled for this trip because I haven't been abroad in such a long time and all of my trips have been with my family only, so going on this trip with friends only, is so exciting to me.

- "Hello?"

- "Hey Y/N, I've searched for you all around the airport but I cant find you. Where are you?" Harry says with a worried voice.

- "Chill Harry, I told you I was in the Starbucks. You even told me to get you drink remember? Why are you so worried and jumpy. Is everything okay?

- "You know what? I'm sorry for being anxiou- ah,  I see you. Let me hang up."

As I see Harry walk towards me, my eyes widened, my mouth fell to the ground. My heart started to beat really fast.

- "HARRY, ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?" I say as I hold his face, examining the bruise and scratches on his face.

Harry took my hands and put them down from his face. When he looked at me, I saw that he had fear and anger gleaming in his eyes. That's when I knew that this had something to do with Kimberly.

- "Kimberly, she did this to you didn't she? answer me now Harry. She did this to you didn't she?" I say with fury in my voice.

- "She's fucking crazy. I didn't tell you about this because I didn't want to see you like this. I didn't want to worry you."

- "What did she do?"

- "Kimberly is still living in my dorm."

- "WHAT? HARRY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I say with disappointment in my voice. I cant believe that Harry is still with that girl. I really don't know how to feel right now.

- "She wouldn't leave Y/N. The only time that we would talk is if we're arguing. I haven't slept in the same bed as her since the day I found out about her other boyfriend. She's just lingering around me and I hate it. I hate the sight of her." He says with a voice full of anger and hurt.

- "Okay, but how did you end up like this?"

- "She heard about our trip. She refused that I leave this country with you, so she did everything that she could. She threw my biology books at me and scratched my face so that I would be afraid to leave the house with a bruised face. She thought that having a battered face would stop me from being with you. She said if she cant be with me, then  nobody else can. I'm not the type to put my hands on anyone, so I didn't."

- "But Harry, why didn't you tell me? I would have been there for you"

- "I didn't tell you because it could have been dangerous for you. Kimberly really hates you and thinks that our breakup is your fault. Not to mention, it wouldn't be fair for me to ruin your mood because you have a lot on your plate. You have school, a job and your side hustle. This isn't fair to you"

- "Its not fair for me but its fair for you to get assaulted like this? Let's cancel this trip. I need to go to her. I'm going to deal with her. How dare she?" I say as I become irate, ready to leave the Starbucks.

- "Y/N, no. were already at the airport and our friends are going to be here soon, Tim just texted me. Besides, I'm looking forward for this trip because I wont be able to see Kimberly for the time being, a week of peace, quiet and fun. And most importantly, I'm looking forward to spending my time with you. Its okay Y/N, I know what I'm doing when it comes to Kimberly."

When he said that he was looking forward to spending time with me, I felt some type of way. He probably didn't mean it like that, but he made my heart flutter when he said that.

- "Fine. Do what you want" I say as I roll my eyes. out of nowhere, harry bends down to the level of my face, and slightly comes close to my face. Harry chuckles

-"Whoah!" I say as I'm shocked by how close we were from each other. My poor heart.....

- " Y/N?"

- "Uh y-yes? " I answered hesitantly and confused.

- " Do you trust me?" he says with a hopeful smile on his face, almost like he has it all planned it out.

- "I trust you" I respond with a smile spread across my face.

- "Good, now let's go and find the others. Come on!" Harry says with a slight chuckle and smile on his face.

a few moments later.

We finally met up with our friends it was so overwhelming since we haven't seen each other in a very long time. but super exciting and fun because we had really missed being in each other's presence. Andrea was there, she used to be my best friend but we fell out because she used to talk about me behind her back. She always seemed like I was her competition. anyways, It's a trip that was designed for us to have fun, so I ignored all the petty stuff she did to me and I greeted her since I didn't want it to be awkward between us.

It was finally time to board our plane and because Harry and I had booked our plane tickets together, we ended up getting seats that were close to each other. Whilst being on the plane, sitting next to Harry, I was still upset with what had happened to him. I was trying to ignore it but I felt guilty for wanting to have fun, even though Harry was clearly traumatised from what had occurred the previous night and on top of that, I was also worried that Andrea would do something petty to me on this trip. I was really tired from waking up early but I couldn't sleep because I was just I kept thinking about what Harry must have felt when Kimberly was violent towards him, so I just decided to look out the window, to distract myself. Then all of a sudden, I felt a weight on my shoulder, It was Harry's head on my shoulder.

He looked at me and said "Y/N, stop stressing and enjoy the trip. Okay? everything will be okay. Now sleep, I know how tired you are." with a smile on his face and then he closed his eyes to sleep, and so did I.

We finally land, and all of our friends are making fun of Harry and I because apparently we were holding each other whilst we slept. They kept saying that we kept this it a secret that we were a couple. I was so confused and in denial that Harry and I were holding each other in our sleep until kept saying that we were a couple, I was in denial because I didn't realise that we even did that in our sleep so i asked them if they had proof and they did, they took a picture of us whilst we were sleeping, we were really cuddling and holding hands. I felt like disappearing because it was so embarrassing, but Harry took it well and asked them to send the picture to him because he finds it "cute". I wanted to vomit, I was so red from the embarrassment but played it cool by laughing and as I was about to change the topic of the conversation but I got cut off.

- "You're all so excited about this like they're an actual couple. Harry actually has a girlfriend and her name is Kimberly." she scoffs.

- "Sorry, but you know Kimberly how?" Harry says defensively with a curious but angry face.

- "Oh my Gosh,Harry. Why are you so defensive?” Andrea laughs. "Well, she's a friend of a friend since you want to know so bad. Thats how I know her. Is it so wrong that i know her? is it a crime that I know her?"

- "It's not wrong to know her. I just wanted to know how you know her because she's not from where we grew up. So please stop trying to put words in my mouth Andrea. We're here for a good time, fix your attitude before you ruin the trip for us all." he says whilst trying to calm himself down.

- "Woah guys calm down. please. Harry, its okay. Ignore her please." I say whilst worried, because I can tell that Kimberly's name has become triggering to him.

- "Andrea back again with the bad vibes. Who invited you again?" Jake laughs, whilst slightly being irritated by Andrea. Jenica pulls Andrea away as she's the one that invited her.

- "Don't make me regret inviting you Andrea. Nobody wanted you here but I convinced everyone to bring you here because it's not nice to leave people out. Please don't ruin it for us, we haven't seen everyone in a long ass time. So keep your shit together"

- "DAMN, JENICA!" Louis shouts whilst laughing at Andrea and Jenica.

- "she's going to cause problems throughout this whole trip, isn't she?" Harry asks me.

- "ugh...yup" I replied in annoyance.

What will happen on their trip? stay tuned for the next chapter.

p. junwon x gn!reader g. fluff . 100+ event

"i just need to get my textbook, junwon." you tell him as you push the door open.

"we don't even need it until the second semester." he tells you with a sigh.

you tell him to wait at the entrance, but he insists on going with you anyway.

straying away from junwon, you find yourself in front of a boy who has taken an interest in you. you question his motives, but soon find out he is trying to flirt with you.

"oh sorry, i'm just here to get my textbook." you awkwardly tell him. your eyes scan the shelves in the hopes of finding it quickly.

in the corner of your eye you see junwon approaching the two of you.

"hey junwon! help me search?" you quickly grab his arm and pull him away from the boy.

his eyes trail to your hand still around his arm, and you quickly let go of it.

"someone is interested in you." he teases.

"yeah, and i am so interested in him as well," you say sarcastically as you quickly glance over junwon's shoulder to see if he has left.

"he's listening to us," junwon whispers and points his finger in his direction.

"oh god."

junwon snickers before he says "i think i'm in love with you."

you give him a confused look, but soon realise he was trying to make the guy leave.

you sigh out of relief. junwon's fake confessing had made him leave.

"thanks," you say, "now let's look for my textbook."

you turn around to see junwon still standing there.

"i wasn't lying."

"what?" junwon shyly scratches the back of his head, hiding the blush on his face.

"i think i'm actually in love with you."

Silent Hands

ph-1 (Park Junwon/Harry Park) x Idol!Reader Summary: There's something so special in knowing that this introverted man went out of his own comfort zone to make me comfortable. Word Count: 1k+ Warning: mentions and mildly graphic depictions of panic attack/mental breakdown, fluff, slightly crack-ish, typos etc.

A/N: i love ph-1. Also this fic is based on what happened to me once I was so friggin scared to miss work or be late, but I wasnt even late yet  T_T

It was pretty instantaneous when it happened. The absolute fear and feeling of stupidity running up my spine and neck. It came all at once. It was horrible. First, I was dazed like one as one blinks into wake, but then, my body was up and so was my heart rate.

When I had opened my eyes, the TV was already turned off. 

Oops, I fell asleep. 

Sorry Harry... 

These were my initial thoughts.

I looked to the rest of the couch I was on and see, well, he wasn’t there. The rest of the couch had my legs on it and my legs had a blanket covering it. My back was on the arm rest and my neck had a pillow behind it. Either I did this in my sleep or I was moved; you be the judge.

The lights were closed. There was a slight misty chill in the air. Then I saw it.

I turned over my shoulder and found the window. The sky was a bright shade of orange and red. Is that...

Holy shit, I slept through the night.

I literally ripped the blanket off me and felt my breath hitch as I scrambled for my things. I roughly wiped my face back as a whine left my lips. I had so much to do today. So many things to do with so many people waiting for me to do it. 

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I should have been in the studio at 6.

I feel tears form in my eyes as I found all my things scattered by a cabinet near the bathroom’s door. I shove the objects that found its way out of my bag back in and fish for my phone.

I suddenly realize that I was probably alone in the apartment because Junwon had already left. I begin to chew my lower lip in agitation, muttering softly, “why the fuck didn’t he wake me up?”

I roughly scratch my tears away as I find my phone.

My heart dropped when my phone screen stayed black. I start slamming my head with my palm. My phone fucking died?!

I will it to open as I harshly pressed on the buttons on the side. I continuously cuss as the phone chimes open. I mentally debated plunging it against the far off wall in front of me.

My heart skips when I hear a flush sound. I watch dumbly as the door opens and light closes behind a Harry-caught-in-headlights.

“Are you o--”

“Why did you let me sleep through the night?”

He knits his brows and watches me. In confusion, he mutters, “what?”

“I have so much to do today! My phone friggin died on me and, gosh, I must have so many missed calls.”

“But you said we could hang out today...”

“I did! But not until the next day!”

He assesses my expression as he watches me fumble with my phone. His aloof and naïve expression just angers me. How could he not get it?

I just grab my bag and begin to head for the door, “I have to go.” I stop at the door and work his locks. That’s when something clicks in Harry’s head.

I was already out when he comes up to me and places a hand on my shoulder, “wait! You didn’t sleep throughout the night.”

I look over to him as he quickly runs back in. In the few moments I was staring at the hallway of his apartment, I felt my stomach boiling in agitation. He quickly runs back and shows me his phone, “see, it’s still 6:50. It’s the same day. It’s Tuesday.”

It took a little longer for this information to register into my head, but when it did, my shoulders relaxed, not that I even knew I was so tense, and I let out a sigh of relief, not that I was actually relieved. I mean I was, but I was actually feeling more like a really big idiot.

I placed my hands on my face when I felt tears gush down. “I friggin thought it was the next day.” I let out deep breath.

Harry watches me with a sympathetic look on his face.

He then moves in to give me a hug.

I however was not having it. Mostly because I was caught off guard and feel icky when people hug me. Not that I hated hugs either. I just... grew up always dealing with my problems on my own, and now I feel like a wimp who is undeserving of comfort when I'm breaking down.

I really didn’t mean to shove him off as hard as I did. I didn’t. He sure looked shocked when I did it though. When I was faced with the aftermath of what I had done, I instantly regret it and felt 10x more idiotic.

“I...” I sniffle and wipe my philtrum, “I’m sorry. I-”

“It’s okay, I caught you-”

“No, it’s me. I just... I’m usually the one giving the hugs. I... I should go.”

He looks shocked at my words. “No! Geez,” he comes up in front of me, “please just come back inside.”

I squint tightly and breath out, “I’m kind of having a mental breakdown-”

“Which is why you should come back in.” He raises his hands and leads me in, “please. I’ll drive you home later, I promise.”

“Junwon-”

“Please, I can’t have you leave my house like this.”

My inner voice was screaming to just jump out of the window. It felt like a nice idea, but like the rest of its ideas, I muted it out and decided to plead my case to my judge, “please, I don’t want to-”

“You can have a moment in my bedroom by yourself. Just please, stay okay, even just for a little while.”

Fine.

My chances with him were ruined anyway. I spent, what, about 4 hangouts with the dude, I’m pretty sure they weren’t even dates yet, and now I’ve completely malfunctioned in front of him. There is absolutely no way I can face him again after this. I might as well do him this courtesy, for him and me.

So, I went back inside and hid in his bedroom.

I sat on the floor and cried at the end of his bedsheets.

My chest hurt.

And I felt all in all suckish

“Hey... It’s been 20 minutes.”

I think my dry throat would agree, although I would rather stay here for eternity.

He knocks on the door and I mash my face into his blanket.

He opens the door and looks at me. He walks over and whispers, “hey, it’s all good.”

I feel like crying again. I turn my face to the side and say, “no it’s not.” I feel tears pool by my nose bridge.

“This is just like peeing in a swimming pool, you just got to walk it off.”

I blink and lift my head, turning to him as he looks down on me with a soft gaze, “what?”

“You gotta get up.”

“... that makes no sense.”

He reaches a hand out to me, “a lot of things in life don’t. Sometimes you look at a sunset and think it’s a sunrise and that’s fine. It’s a little confusing but it’s a part of life.”

I take his hand when he starts making sense. I dumb it back down though, “at least if I pee in a pool, no one will know.”

He hums, “someone will always know, but you just gotta walk it off.”

I look at him after I stand, “that’s still disgusting.”

“Well,” we pull away, “you shouldn’t pee in a pool.”

“... I shouldn’t have cr-”

“Nope, it’s not an analogy. Just... what you felt was scary, it’s okay to cry when you’re scared.” He takes my hand and leads me out, “I meant not to make sense... I thought it would make you laugh.”

We walk back out and make it to his kitchen. The two seater table was set with some Mexican food. He looks at me and says, “I heat it up for you.”

I frown, “you shouldn’t have.”

“I should. I bought it before you woke up. It’s kinda gross when it’s cold.”

I feel even worse, “sorry.”

“Hey, just...” he places a hand on my shoulders and gives me a look. I don’t meet his gaze and blink rapidly as I turn to my feet. A moment passes and he speaks up again, “I’ll get you some water.”

I sat down on one of the chairs as he pours me drink. He then sits down in front of me and motions to the food. “It’s good, I promise.”

I look to my plate and feel like resting my head on the quesadilla. Maybe I can get a cheese facial in the process.

He licks his lips and releases a soft breath. He then drags his chair and moves his plate close to mine. He begins to work on my plate, and cuts up my burrito with a spoon meant for the salsa. He vigorously works on it, raising a brow at his opponent before ultimately getting a knife and fork.

I watch as he pokes it with four prongs, “are you actually cutting burrito?”

“Yes, well, I gotta make sure you have no choice but to eat it cos I worked so hard on it.”

I notice the corner of his lips faintly curve upward.

I frown.

He turns to me and catches this, “do I make you cry?”

I fist my hand and scratch my eyes, “no.”

“Do you want a hug?”

“No.”

“I think you do though.”

“Please don’t hug me.”

“... I want a hug though...”

“...”

“Can you hug me cause I need one?”

I pull my hands away and find his apprehensive expression. I let out a breath. He takes that as a yes and gives me a hug. He stands from his seat and envelopes me in his arms. I don’t move but I do close my eyes and breath in his scent. He smells like one of those cute med boys when I was in uni. He smells nice. He feels... safe. This feels safe.

“I’m sorry,” he suddenly whispers.

I raise my hands and wrap them around him. I then stand and we reposition our embrace, “no... I do want a hug.” He secures his arms by my shoulders and I secure mine on his torso. He rests his cheek on my head and rubs my hair.

For a moment, we just stand there in each others arms. I feel warm with my head on his chest.

“Ripson nubus.”

“... ... did you... just speak simlish?”

“I did.”

“...”

“If we were in the sims, you would probably be happy because of how much I’m trying to make you less sad.”

“Oh to be a sim.”

“Yeah...” he rubs my head, “is it working though.”

“Mmm, well, I kinda want to eat that burrito now so you won’t have to put it back in the microwave. I don’t want the responsibility of becoming a Spiderman.”

“Right, we should,” he tries to break away, but I stop him. I pipe up softly, “just a few more seconds.”

His arms tighten around me, “a few more seconds is good.”

Lights Out

Chapter 6

Hazel’s P.O.V

I glanced down at my dress and watched the fabric soak up the liquid. Sapphire instantly searched for my face, as did woojae. I sighed as i looked back up at junwon. He had his hands in his pockets, looking off to the side and lightly bopping his head to the music. I glanced over at sapphire, whose attention was now on woojae. She was clearly upset. She waved her finger in his face and he grabbed her hand, lacing their fingers in a way that calmed her down almost completely. 

I stood up from the staircase and made a beeline for the bathroom. Pushing through the crowd of half drunk humans, I kept my composure as best as I could. I wanted to cry so badly.

As I slammed the bathroom door behind me, I closed my eyes.

Why would he be here with someone else?

Just as I was about to let out the water works, there was a bang at the door. I slightly jumped and yanked the door back. “What!” I shouted, expecting it to be junwon. It wasn't. It was some drunk fool, who pushed right past me and threw up all over the toilet. I groaned and stomped my way back towards the crowd of people. 

Pushing against everyone, i made my way towards Woojae. Grabbing his shoulder, I turned his body around to face me. “Why would you let him bring another girl here!” I shouted over the music. Woojae quickly shook his head and put his hands up. “We just happened to arrive at the same time, Hazel. I’ve been trying to get in touch with him to tell him about the accident. I had no idea he was even coming to this party.”

I looked over towards sapphire. “How did he even know there was a party in the first place, Sapphire?” 

She placed her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side. “I didn’t personally invite him. He probably saw the invitation that I posted.” 

I rolled my eyes and bumped her shoulder as I walked past her.

Junwon’s P.O.V

This wasn’t really my style. Parties were just too loud for me. I was only here cause someone sent a stupid invitation to Jay. he saw the word mansion and said we must attend. To be honest, I was still tired from all the partying we did the other night. All I really wanted to do was get away from this girl and go to sleep in my own bed. Jay really wanted to spend some time together since this was his last day in the states. He wanted me to see what kind of lifestyle I would have back in Korea. Only he said it was going to be ten times worse with the partying. 

“Damn, there’s hella people here.” Jay laughed. “Perfect opportunity to spread the word about your music to gain more exposure. What do you think?” he asked. I nodded my head and glanced around the room. He was right, there was a ton of people here, but i--

“Hazel?!” I shouted as I spotted a familiar figure throughout the crowd. I pulled my arm back from the girl who was attached to me. “Hey!” she whined. I waved her off and wiggled my way through the people. “Hazel!” I yelled out for her. She kept walking. 

“Yo!” someone pulled at my jacket and I turned around. “Woojae? what are you doing here?” i laughed.

“What the hell are you doing, bro?” He shouted over the music. 

“What do you mean? I just seen Hazel, where is she going?” I shouted back.

“She going crazy. You really thought bringing another chick here wouldn’t set her off?”

I furrowed my brows. “Wait, who’s party is this?” i asked. 

He ignored my question.

“You know everyone’s been trying to get ahold of you, right?”

I pulled out my phone. Something I hadn't looked at in days, and he was right. I had tons of missed calls from unsaved numbers.

“The girls didn’t miss your show on purpose. They got into a car accident.”

I glanced up at him. “A what?!” my breathing went short and I turned my attention back to finding Hazel, leaving woojae standing there.

Hazel’s P.O.V

Walking into Sapphire’s room, I reached for my clothes that sat on the bed and started to change out of her dress. As i lifted my arms to put on my shirt, this stupid pain in my back started to pinch at me. I winced and shut my eyes, instantly crying. Not only from the pain but, because this idiot brought a freakin girl to my bestfriend’s stupid party. 

“Hazel.” Sapphire said as she entered the room. “Don’t take your anger out on me. I didn’t invite the man.” she said closing the door. I breathed a laugh and proceed to get dressed, wiping my eyes. “I don't care, Sapphire. I really don’t. I’m going home.” I said wiggling into my pants. 

“Yes, you do care and no you’re not going home. You don’t have a ride back.” she said snatching my shoes up. “You really think that’s going to stop me from leaving. I will leave this house barefoot.” 

As I made my way to the door, Sapphire put her hand over the handle. “Just stop.” she whined. “This wasn’t supposed to happen. We were supposed to be celebrating being alive.” 

I sighed. “Yay. we’re still breathing. Now, move.” Pushing her hand away from the knob, I snatched the door open and there stood junwon with his fist in the air, like he was going to knock.

I groaned and slammed the door in his face. Sapphire stood there quiet for a moment. As she placed my shoes back on the ground, she pulled me into a tight hug. I started crying again, as I hugged her back.

Everyone knew deep down, i had feelings for junwon. Even when i was with Bryan.

Everyone knew. Everyone!

“Hazel, i just wanna talk..” Junwon said through the door softly. I said nothing.

I just stood there, in sapphire’s arms and cried for what seemed like forever.

“You should just let him explain himself. I know you wanna punch him in the throat, but do that after.” she said giggling a little. I pulled back from her hug and pushed my hair back. 

This night was just terrible. 

“I don't even wanna see his face, sapp.” I mumbled. “I wouldn’t either.” she replied. “But, at least he’s here. Not down there, with that hoe.” Sapphire shrugged. “Use this opportunity.”

Seconds later, sapphire disappeared. It was just junwon and i now. 

I kept my distance, standing over by the entrance to the bathroom. As he started to approach me, I lifted my hand and shook my head slowly. 

“Just- don’t..” I furrowed my brows as my lip started to quiver. “Don’t..” 

Junwon parted his lips and sighed. I could tell he didn't know where to start.

“Did you really get into a car accident?” he mumbled, searching my body for marks.

I breathe a laugh and crossed my arms. I couldn't bring myself to say a word. I was just going to scream and I knew that wouldn’t be good for the situation. Did he really think I would lie about something like that?

“Why do you care?” I spat out. Junwon blinked a few times then shook his head. 

“Hazel, why wouldn’t I care? You’re.. my best fucking friend...” 

Best fucking friend?

I looked off to the side, pretending not to hear those words. 

“Are you okay?” he said walking over to me. He took my hand and I immediately snatched it away. “I’m fine. Just- get out of my way.” I mumbled as I walked past him. Slipping on my shoes, I tied the laces carefully. 

“Please stop acting like this.” Junwon was becoming frustrated and I really didn't care. I rolled my eyes and headed towards the door, but he stood in front of me.

 “I thought you ditched me, okay? I thought you just completely forgot about me and went to kick it with Bryan instead.” He confessed. 

Hearing his name just pissed me off even more. 

“Bryan was the idiot who hit us.” I yelled angrily, pushing past him.

I stomped out of Sapphire’s room and was soon in the mix of the wild hyenas.

Pushing them aside, I made my way to the front door and yanked it open, stepping out into the cold night. I squinted my eyes, looking down the dark road- having second thoughts about leaving.

Leaving the door wide open, I could hear the party getting louder. Girls were screaming and shouting at the presents of someone. I turned back, looking at a big circle of people and flashing lights. I rolled my eyes at the scene and started walking down the road.

an hour later

This was my sanctuary. This was the place that i would go everyday after my father passed away. This place has seen many tears of mine.

I sat down on the bench, hugging my arms to get away from the cold. I looked out towards the waterfall and sighed. 

“What is happening, dad? I don’t understand.”

The next day

“What the hell..” I groaned. As I opened my eyes, the waterfall came back into my sight. The sun was warm against my skin and the wind was slightly blowing. 

Sitting up, I yelped. My back was on fire and it felt like someone was stabbing me over and over again.

My body became stiff as i tried to lift myself off the bench.

How the hell did I fall asleep out here?

Approaching my front door, I stared at the handle. My mom was going to flip. I bet she was worried sick about me.

“Hello?..” I called out as I opened the door. It was quiet. The silence could actually kill. 

“Zoe?”

Nothing.

Walking over to the kitchen, I glanced at the oven clock. 

10:42am

I lifted my brows and opened the pantry for some medicine. I popped two advils in the mouth and grabbed some water than made my way upstairs.

Opening my door, I saw a small box on my bed. Flipping it over, I examined the square and tilted my head. “The heck is this?”

Ripping the box open, i slightly gasped. It was a new phone. I shook my head and picked it up, searching the box for a name.

Nothing.

“HAZEL?!” I heard Zoey’s voice call out for me.

I ran over to the ponywall with the new phone in my hand. “Did you do this?” I said looking down at her, showing the phone. She smiled and lifted her arms, which i could barely see. They were covered in shopping bags.

“What the hell?” 

“I damaged Woojae’s pockets, not mine.” she confessed. Zoey skipped up the stairs, leaving the front door open.

“I was gone for 14 hours and your first thought was to go shopping?” I said disappointed. She shook her head. “No!” she shouted. “Look, we went looking for you. Even tried to file a missing person report, but they said we had to wait for 24 hours just in case you showed up.” she started. “We looked all night for you, staying up until 4am.” Zoe made her way to her room and I followed behind her. “So, you gave up and decided to go shopping?” I repeated. She huffed. “Sapphire and I were worried sick, okay? Woojae thought it would be a good distraction for us.” she smiled as she tried to hug me. I pushed her arms away.

“Are you not understanding how fucked up this is?” I questioned.

“HAZE?!?!?” Sapphire’s voice rang in my ears.

I rolled my eyes and made my way downstairs, folding my arms across my chest. “Are you guys serious right now?” I said annoyed as I looked down at her shopping bags. Woojae entered the house quickly after her and set down more bags.

“I’m so happy to see you!” I winced as she threw her arms around me. “OUCH!” I screamed. Sapphire pulled back quickly and furrowed her brows. “What’s wrong?” she shouted. 

I paused for a minute.

“Your.. ring..” I lied. “It got stuck in my hair..” as the words left my mouth, I felt slightly out of breath from holding in the pain. She glanced down at her hand and lifted her brows. “I'm sorry..” 

Woojae cleared his throat.

“I see you like your present.” he said nodding towards the iPhone. “I didn’t know which color to get, but I heard that your favorite color is pink.” he laughed as he looked over at Sapphire. 

“This came from you?!” my eyes instantly got bigger. Woojae nodded. “I can’t accept this. Here.” I said handing him the phone back. Sapphire pushed my hand away. “Take it, Haze.” her expression was firm. “I don't want it.” I mumbled to her. “I didn’t ask if you wanted it. You need it.” 

I could tell Sapphire was upset. She picked up a few shopping bags and set it on the couch then approached Woojae, taking his hand.

“Woojae was nice enough to buy you a phone and you should use it. You clearly need some time to get yourself together, Hazel. You’ve been very weird and slightly rude for the past couple days and that's not you. When you find my bestfriend, call me.” Sapphire tugged at Woojae’s hand, signaling him that it was time to leave. He sighed and flashed a weak smile.

“I’m glad you’re okay, Hazel. Get some rest..”

As the door shut behind them, I stared at it. 

“She’s right, you know?” Zoey said from the balcony. “Woojae was actually really worried. He’s the one who made the report for us.” she mumbled.

“Who’s side are you on, Zoe?” I said quietly. 

“I’m not picking sides. You’re my sister and I love you, but Sapphire is right.” she said sighing and going into her room.

Chapter 19

Junwon pulled up to the studio. Chaeyoung didn’t get out. She just sat in the backseat. Waiting.

Junwon put the car in park and turned to look at her. “What’s wrong, Chae?”

She shook her head.

“Something is clearly wrong. What’s up with y’all?” Junwon probed.

Chaeyoung sighed and placed her hands in her jacket pocket. “I think we may be breaking up.” She told him quietly.

“No you’re not.” Woojae interrupted. “Just because you’re having a problem doesn’t mean that you’re gonna break up. Relationships have problems, look at me and Saph. It took ya forever to figure this thing out!” He chuckled.

“Yeah, but now that y’all are together you’re like the perfect example of love!” She expressed.

Woojae chuckled unamused. “Yeah not perfect at all.” He thought about Bloo whispering something in her ear. He wondered what he had said and he knew he shouldn’t be jealous because after all she had chosen him but at what cost? Was she still having some sort of connection to him? He shook his thoughts away.

“If you’re worried about Bloo, don’t be! I knew she’d pick you the whole time.” She opened the car door and started to step out.

“Hey, Chae?” Junwon started. “Remember, communication is key. Hear each other out. Everything will be alright.”

“Pray for me. I think I’m gonna need it. I haven’t been exactly the world greatest girlfriend lately.” She admitted.

Junwon nodded and shooed her away.

Chaeyoung stopped outside of the studio and listened to Noah rap. The words hit home. . .hard. I know you need your time but I feel so alone. Thought I’d be the place you’d always call home.

She squeezed her eyes shut. God, I pray this isn’t about me. She thought. She knocked on the door and waited for an answer. When she heard the music cut off she knew he was heading to the door.

Noah swung the door open. His breath hitched in his throat. “What?” He asked plainly.

“Can we talk?”

“So now you want to talk to me?” He asked as he rubbed the facial hair growing in on his chin.

Chae reached for his hand but he moved away. “You’ve has all the time in the world to talk to me and you didn’t use it so why now?”

“Because I-“ she paused. She wasn’t good in expressing her feelings. She felt awkward and the fact that it felt like the ice they were standing on was about to break didn’t help.

“Because what, Chaeyoung?”

“I miss you.” She whispered.

Noah looked into the hallway and seen one of their producers coming. He pulled her in. “Talk.”

She sat in one of the chair and covered her face. “How did we get here?”

He wet his lips in thought. “You know how, you just don’t want to admit that you’re the reason. I shouldn’t have to spell it out for you over and over!” He groaned in frustration.

“You’re being unreasonable though. I finally have friends now and you want to take that away! How is that fair? Can I not have people in my circle outside of you?”

Noah moved closer to her. “You think I don’t want you to have friends? You think I want you to be alone?”

She shrugged. “That’s what it feels like.”

He pointed his finger at her. “I don’t even know who are anymore because my girlfriend would never think that low of me!” He walked to the opposite side of the studio. He needed to get away from her. His feelings were hurt even more at this point and he couldn’t see a way out of this quarrel.

“Well explain to me what the problem is! Please.”

“Your roommate was a really good friend to you. She never asked you for anything, even when she knew that you were dating me. These new girls that you’ve ditched your roommate for are terrible. They don’t see you, Chae! They see all the connections you have. They see me and my team. They see Sapphire and Riley! They see the perks you bring and quite frankly I think you deserve better! So excuse me for caring too much about your ass.”

“You can’t shield me from mistakes though, Noah. They’re mine to make. If these friends are a mistake I’ve got to learn on my own! You can’t be my protector all the time!”

Noah nodded. “I’m built to be a protector. I’ve always been that for the people I’m close to and love. So if you can’t stand that about me then I don’t know what to tell you. Walk away if you need to.”

Her head snapped up at his last sentence. “I’m not walking away from you! I just need you to understand me. I just want us to be okay. I miss us.”

“I miss us too, but we’d be fine if you hadn’t have changed up on me! On everyone! You barely have time for anyone nowadays because you’re stuck so far up those girls asses. I lied for you when Riley thought I was taking up all of your time! I barely see you too but I didn’t want Riley to be mad at you. How would she feel to know all of this? None of us know who you’ve become but I just want Chaeyoung back.” A tear escaped his eye. He hurriedly wipes it away.

“You have me! I’m right here!” She pleaded to him as she moved closer to him.

He held his arms out to keep her at a distance. “No you’re some other version of her and until she comes back this conversation is over.” He walked to the door and held it open.

Chaeyoung nodded silently. “So this is it?” She spoke just above a whisper.

Noah shook his head. He couldn’t bare to see her face. The tears that were there would draw him back in. He wanted them to work so bad but he needed the girl that he fell for back because the new her wasn’t working.

“Noah, say something!” She yelled a bit.

He grabbed her face. “Come back to me, please.” He told her and kissed her forehead. “I gotta finish this song so I’ll see you. . .whenever.”

Suddenly it hit her. That kiss to her forehead felt like the last one they may ever share and it was her fault. She was so involved with being inside of the in-crowd that she had forgotten about everything that should have meant most to her. She just didn’t know how to make any of this right. She liked finally not being on the outside looking in.

She walked away from the door that he had shut. She just hoped that he hadn’t shut the door completely on them being together. He was the first guy that she had ever loved and even though it was only her first relationship she didn’t want it to end. He was everything to her, and sure first love never really lasted but she sure as hell wanted hers to.

The next day

Woojae politely let himself into Sapphire and Riley’s apartment. He did have a key after all, for emergency purposes, and if they were sleeping he didn’t want to awaken them. He had bought Sapphire roses and candy. The house was so quiet. All he could hear was faint noises of television coming from their rooms.

He opened Sapphire’s door and quietly shut it behind him. He placed the flowers and candy on her nightstand. He climbed into the bed behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

She stirred a bit in her sleep. She inhaled. “Woojae?” She spoke groggily.

He cleared his throat. “How’d you know it was me?”

“I can tell your scent anywhere.” She opened her eyes a little and noticed the bouquet of flowers. “Is it Valentine’s Day?” She turned over with a smile.

He chuckled. “No, I just thought you deserved them.”

She rubbed his face. “Time for a shave?” She laughed.

“Is it bad?” He touched his face.

She shook her head. “No, I like a little scruff sometimes.” She stared at him for a moment. “Why didn’t y’all back to the club last night?”

Woojae shrugged.

“You can talk to me, ya know?”

He rolled his eyes. “It’s nothing. We just didn’t make it back.”

“Is it because Bloo had his release party there?”

“I mean I know we have to separate business from pleasure, I get it. But you didn’t even give me a heads up, Saph. I walked into him saying how much you inspired his whole album and the songs he was singing sounded like he’s in love. I shouldn’t even care and I wish I didn’t but I do.”

Sapphire inhaled and exhaled loudly. “I didn’t know that he was going to say all of that. And I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that he would be there. Honestly I didn’t think you and Junwon were going to be back until today sometime. I should’ve told you.”

He nodded. “I just couldn’t handle it and then he whispered in your ear and it really pissed me off! I don’t know if I’ll ever be okay with you and Bloo being close still.”

“And you don’t have to be okay with it. Im always going to be respectful of our relationship, but Bloo is my friend and I can’t shut him out completely. If it had’ve been the other way around I wouldn’t have shut you out either.”

“I know. It just makes me second guess myself.” He admitted.

Sapphire straddled his hips. “You shouldn’t. You’re all the man I need!” She smiled above him like a school girl and leaned down and kissed his lips.

He pulled her off of him and laid her back on her side. “Don’t start anything that you’re not going to finish.” He pecked her lips and shut his eyes in thought.

“Who said I wasn’t going to finish it?” She let her fingertips scale up his side ever so lightly.

His eyes popped open. “I- we’ve never-“

She raised an eyebrow. “First time for everything.”

This time he rolled her onto her back and climbed between her legs. “Are you sure? I don’t want to pressure you.”

She nodded. “I’m sure. I know you love me and I’m ready.”

Nori poked at Junwon’s back. He was sleeping really good. She figured he was tired from traveling so much recently.

He groaned. “If you’re waking me up this early it better be a good reason for it.”

“I’ll make it worth your while but first I need to know what happened last night!”

“I dropped Chaeyoung off at the studio. Grabbed some food from McDonald’s and then Woojae went home and I came here.” He shut his eyes back trying to drift back into la la land.

Riley sighed. “So what happened with Noah and my sister?”

Junwon shrugged. “I didn’t stick around to find all of that out. She thinks their going to break up though.”

“That’ll kill her if they do. She loves that boy.”

“If it makes you feel better, he loves her too and it’s already killing him.”

Riley thought for a moment. “Maybe I can do something to fix things for them!”

“Ah no! Your sister isn’t a baby anymore. This is her relationship so you have to let it run it’s course. She’ll never learn if you’re always saving things for her.”

“I just hate to see them like this. I want everyone to be happy, like me.” She kissed his cheek.

Junwon pulled her on top of him. “Wanna be happier?” He asked as he squeezed her booty.

She kissed his neck. “Can I leave my mark?”

Junwon rolled his eyes. “Sure, I don’t have an appearance until next week, it should be gone by then.”

“And if not there’s a thing called makeup.” She nipped more at his neck.

The Little Things

 ph-1 (Park Junwon/Harry Park) x Idol!Reader Summary: When you’re in a relationship, there are aspects of being single you tend to look over or take for granted. It’s sometimes those things that cause a rift between you and your lover. Word Count: 1k+ Warnings: Fluff, established relationship, lowkey jealousy, kinda a social media au, typos as I have not proofread this, i use y/n 🤢 , etc.

A/N: i hope you see this nonnie and I hope you like it!

It was like a snowball rolling down a snowy mountain. By the time it got down to the slope, it was an enormous boulder, an avalanche. That’s what it felt like on this one lunch date.

It was like a hundred little things came crashing down on us. Things like forgetting to call back, not replying soon enough if replying at all, arriving late, forgetting to heat up lunch, forgetting it’s their turn to buy, all came crashing down when we got the wrong order at the café.

And although it was neither mine nor Junwon’s fault but actually an employee’s error, we had already snapped at each other in the middle of it and found it exhausting to talk to each other. It made my stomach ache after eating.

It would have been fine, had I not had anything to do after our lunch, but unfortunately, I had a long schedule ahead of me that day, and it made me irritable. Thankfully, after a while, my stomach was pacified, but the same could not be said for me and Junwon.

The entire day, we had not talked, nor the day after that, which made it the day  after that feel like it was hanging up in the air because we had a special date planned and yet we still hadn’t broken the silence.

Oh well, if he’s gonna be petty about it, I can play petty.

Now I know you’re going to ask, why not just be the bigger person and text him or something. Well, maybe if I was the one that snapped first I would have. Maybe if I was the one who didn’t even bother telling how he felt then maybe I would have been more inclined to break the silence. 

Junwon has never been the confrontational type, so if there was something on his mind, he usually just let it slide.

And if something really bothered me, I would tell him.

So the little things that got on his nerves that didn’t bother me began to bother me when he made a fuss about in in the wrong time.

He can take a hint; I’ll make him take a hint.

I was already in the planetarium when I shared this. It was supposed to be a special date, but I was now here alone. It was good we had already split our tickets, or else I would have had to buy another ticker for myself.

I arrived to the place a little earlier than when we would have gone, and was in awe of the place. I have always been so fascinated with the heavenly bodies. I love the stars so much and find joy in knowing we both are made of star dust and shine like them, albeit 1000x lower than the eye can see.

I was having fun for about the first 5-10 minutes of my time here, until I saw something, stopped, and thought, ‘I have to show Harry’. It all kind of went downhill from there.

The place was beautiful and distracting, but It was pretty hard to enjoy myself, when all my thoughts began to be, Harry would like this, OMG Harry would find this so pretty, this is what I was telling Harry, and the classic, it’d be more fun if Harry were here.

Shut up, I am not a simp.

I’m just... lonely.

At this point, I was starting to lose interest in the place as my thought began to get geared so hard into just wanting to call Harry and make up. I think that was why I began to just walk around aimlessly.

That was also why I was taken aback when someone tapped my shoulder, since I was pretty out of it.

I turned around and saw this dude smile at me, “hi.”

I raised my brows and gave a soft smile. This might not end well.

“I, uh, couldn’t help but notice you when you walked in. You look absolutely stunning.”

I chuckle and shake my head, “uh, thank you.”

He nods and places his hand in his pockets, “no yeah, the pleasure’s all mine. I also noticed you weren’t really here with anyone and neither am I, so would you maybe want to tour the rest of the place with me?”

“Eh, actually, I had this day planned out with someone,” I pull my phone up and continue, “I’m about to check up on them right now.”

“Ahh,” he nods, “well, I can keep you company while your friend isn’t here.”

“No, she’s good,” another voice speaks. I am suddenly in Harry’s arms as he throws an arm over my shoulder. He turns to the dude, “her boyfriend’s here now.”

The dude smacks his lips then nods slowly, “okay then. Nice talking to you, babe.”

Junwon throws the guy a look as he walks away, “did that dude really just call you babe?”

I pull him into an embrace, “huhuhu, I should have called you sooner.”

He sighs against me and places his cheek on my head, “I should have called sooner too.”

“Yeah, you really should have.” 

I feel the vibrations against my face when he chuckles, “yeah.”

I tighten my arms around him and sigh, “you smell nice.” I pull away and pout, “I’m glad you’re here.”

He gives me a quick kiss on the lips, “me too. I kept getting @-ed by your fans. I was so close to being cancelled.”

I snort. He smiles, “I was checking your stories anyway though, so I knew you were being petty about it.”

I make a face, “you’re talking like you weren’t being petty.”

He pulls me back into his arms and sucks in a breath, “I’m still kinda ticked off on how slow you reply though.”

I chuckle against him and push him off, grabbing his hand, “I’ll reply even slower now!”

He rolls his eyes.

Chapter 18

Two months later

Knock knock

Riley hurried over to open the office door. “You’re late...again.” She rolled her eyes a bit.

Chaeyoung sighed and slid past her sister. “I know, I overslept.”

“You know this is a job, right? You asked me could you be our personal assistant so therefore I need you to do some assisting. You get paid real money just like every other employee here so I need you to take this serious!” Riley argued.

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes. “I know, but there was this thing that came up that I couldn’t miss!”

“Let me guess, a party?”

Sapphire looked up from the computer screen and watched the two sisters interaction. She felt the same way as Riley but she also knew that irresponsibility came with the territory of a college student.

“I wouldn’t necessarily call it a party but I wouldn’t necessarily not call it that either....” Chaeyoung looked away.

Riley pinched the bridge of her nose to calm herself down. “ if you want to keep this job, you’ve gotta do the job! We have a album release party tonight and you didn’t even print up the flyers and pass them out like I told you to last week. You didn’t update the Instagram account about it! These artist pay good money for us to promote them, but if they don’t get promoted we don’t get paid. Sapphire and I had to do all of your work. School is important but when you’re missing work to go out and party we have a problem.”

“I’m sorry that I forgot to do all of that. I’ve been busy.” Chaeyoung answered with her head down.

Sapphire walked over and placed her arm across her shoulders. “You have the best job that any college student would want. You get to meet all these different artist that I’m sure your classmates would kill to meet. Get it together Chae, please.”

Chaeyoung nodded. “It’s gonna get better I promise. I’ve just been really out of it lately.” She admitted.

“Yeah it better and what’s up with you & Noah? He’s hardly ever around anymore.” Riley asked.

Chaeyoung sighed. “He’s kind of distancing himself from me. He doesn’t like my new friends.”

Sapphire raised an eyebrow. “Why not?”

“He thinks that they only started hanging around me because they knew that I had connections.” She shrugged.

Riley crossed her arms. “Are these the same girls that you brought up here last weekend when Changmo performed?”

Chaeyoung nodded.

“Well for their sake they better not be using you for you connections or else they will have to deal with me!” Riley pulled her little sister into a hug. “Now go put some refreshments in the artist dressing room please ma’am. They’ll be here in 30 minutes.” She pushed her out the door.

Sapphire leaned against the doorframe. “I got that same vibe from her friends, you know? I overheard one of them saying something about wanting to go to a H1ghr party. And isn’t it kind of strange that these friends didn’t pop up until shortly after Noah posted her on his story?”

Riley nodded. “Yeah. I’m just wondering why she never talks about Seoyoon anymore. Does she even hang out with her anymore?”

Sapphire shrugged. “Who knows, she doesn’t really talk to us like she used to. I’m a little jealous, we used to be the most important people in her life.” She laughed.

“We’ve been replaced!” Riley exclaimed jokingly.

Chaeyoung entered the office a few minutes later. “I put water bottles, wine and beer in the cooler. I also put a variety of chips in the dressing room too. Anything else you need from me?”

“How’s Seoyoon?” Sapphire blurted out.

Chaeyoung gave her a peculiar look. “That’s random but I guess she’s okay. I only see her in the mornings when I first get up since I’m not in our dorm room that often anymore. Why?”

Sapphire shrugged. “You haven’t mentioned her in awhile so I was just wondering how she was.”

“Oh I just be busy with other people.”

Sapphire simply nodded and looked over to Riley.

Bloo took the stage to perform the new songs on his album. Niahn also joined him onstage.

Sapphire yelled for Bloo as he performed. She was so proud of him. He seemed happy as ever on the stage and she felt a sense of accomplishment expelling from him. She clapped her hands and really vibed with the music.

“This album is really good!” Riley yelled above the music.

“It’s really different than what he normally does. It works though.”

Riley clapped her hands to the beat. “His music gets better and better.”

He finally finished his last song. “I just want to thank everyone who came out tonight. This album means a lot to me because it shows my evolution. Everything I write is real and all of these songs tonight hold a special place in my heart. I also want to thank the owners of this club for having me! One of them in particular is one of my best friends and she’s a huge inspiration to this album. Again thank you all and I love you. Now get fucked up cause I sure am!” He wet the crowd with water and walked off the stage.

Riley’s mouth dropped. “Girl he just gave you a shout out!”

Sapphire was taken aback. She didn’t think he would mention her in his little speech. She felt arms snake around her waist from behind.

“So you’re inspiring other men now?” Woojae said as he kissed her cheek.

Sapphire turned around in his arms to face him. She immediately wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him. She hadn’t seen him in two weeks because he had performances in other countries. “What are you doing here?!?!” She yelled over the music.

“I took a early flight back here, I missed you!” He admitted as he held her in his arms and looked up at her. Her heels made her a few inches taller than him.

She held onto him tight like her life depended on it. “You missed me that much?”

“Of course!” He kissed her forehead.

Junwon kept his arm around Riley’s waist. “So Bloo?”

Riley nodded.

“Why didn’t you tell me that he was having a release party here?” Woojae asked.

Sapphire sighed. “I didn’t want you to talk me out of it honestly.”

“You know I’m not like that. I know y’all are still friends.” Woojae told her.

Bloo walked up. “What’s up everyone?! Sorry for interrupting but I just wanted to thank you and Riley for allowing me to be here. It means a lot to me!”

Sapphire nodded. “Thank you! I’m just glad that we can be grown and be like this with one another. I support you no matter what okay?”

Bloo nodded. “I know you do. How’d you like the album?”

“It was so good. It showed a different side of you. A glimpse of a softer side of you that I’m honored to have experienced. It was different but really good. I’m proud of how far you’ve come!”

“I’m glad you liked it, your opinion really matters to me. Well I won’t keep you from boy toy.” He smiled a little. “I meant what I said though, when it doesn’t work out I’ll be here for you.” He whispered and walked off.

She stood frozen as she watched him walk away. The nerve of him but at least he was honest.

Woojae snapped his fingers in her face. “Earth to Sapphire?! You okay?”

“Uh- uh yeah of course. I just zoned out I guess.” She answered.

Chaeyoung walked up. “Have y’all seen Noah today?”

The two men shook their head. “I talked to him on the phone but I haven’t seen him. I had asked did he want to come tonight but he said he was going to go the studio instead.”

“The studio at H1ghr headquarters?” Chae investigated.

Junwon chuckled. “What other one would he be at?” He nudged her arm playfully.

“Give me a ride there?” She asked them.

Junwon cocked a brow up. “Right now? I just got here.”

“And you can come back after you drop me off! Please brother, I need to see him.” She clasped her hands together and begged.

He took a deep breath and looked over at Riley. “I’ll be right back okay?”

She nodded. “I’ll be waiting.”

“I’ll ride with you.” Woojae notified.

Sapphire grabbed his arm before he began to walk away. “You’re okay, right?”

“Yeah. I’m good.” He rubbed her cheek and walked to catch up with Junwon.

She could tell he wasn’t being completely honest but that’d be a conversation for another time.

Chapter 5

The doorbell to their front door sounded. Sapphire and Riley were almost certain that it was Minho because he always had a habit of just popping up, which was fine since they didn't know many people anyways.

Sapphire lifted an eyebrow when she opened the door. “What's this?”

The guy handed her a package. “I'm an intern for H1ghr Music company and I was sent to give you this. Are you Riley or Sapphire?” He asked.

Sapphire nodded. “Riley come here!” She yelled. “What is this for?” She directed to the young guy.

He shrugged. “I'm just running errands. I don't ask questions, I just do as I'm told.”

“Who is this?” Riley asked as she finally walked up.

Sapphire gave the guy a tip. “Thanks.” She said and closed the door quickly.  “He said he's an intern for H1ghr Music.”

Riley scrunched her forehead staring at the package. “So they just randomly sent us a package. What in the world would they send?”

Sapphire placed the box on the counter and ripped the tape off of it. “Your guess is as good as mine.” She pulled out two bracelets which were diamond encrusted with the words H1ghr Music engraved on them.

Riley snatched the bracelet from Sapphire. “What the hell! This can't be real diamonds!”

“I don't know, they look pretty real to me. There's a note too!” She exclaimed as she pulled it out of the box. 

Thank you for your invitation to your grand opening.Myself and also my rappers are enthusiastic about this event. I would like to extend a personal invite to our company party tonight to give you taste of what your club has in store. I hope you will accept!

- Jay Park, CEO

Riley and Sapphire's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.

“Jay himself is inviting us to a private company party!” Riley yelled as she leaped up and down.

Sapphire was in so much shock. “It's such short notice, like what the heck are we going to wear?”

“All the clothes you have in your closet I'm sure you have something! Call Minho up and tell him that he's coming with!” Riley ran off to her room to start getting ready.

A couple hours later Minho arrived to their apartment.

Minho

Sapphire

Riley

“Ladies! How the hell did y'all score an invite to a Jay Park party?”

They both were confused by how they were important enough to be at one of his parties.

“He even sent us these.” Sapphire lifted her wrist.

Minho's eyes widened. “He has a fine way of thanking someone. He must enjoy spending lots of money.”

Riley admired the bracelet on her wrist. “I ain't complaining. Maybe we need to invite his rappers more often if it gets us diamonds.” She laughed.

“So you feel me!?” Sapphire agreed. She slipped her heels on.

Riley grabbed her clutch purse. “Here goes nothing.”

When they arrived to the address that was printed on the invite they were all slapped in the face with astonishment.

“Surely this isn't his house, right?” Sapphire spoke as she stared in awe at the huge mansion.

Minho chuckled. “Most people rent huge houses for parties like this. If you get into the right circle of people you'll get used to this type of treatment.”

Riley shook her head. “I don't think I'd ever get used to these kinds of things.”

They stepped out of the Uber and headed up the steps to the entrance of the house.

Every person in the building turned to stare at them.

Sapphire immediately became nervous and covered her body with her arms a bit. “I mean I know we're American but do they really have to stare at us like they've seen an alien?”

Minho shook his head. “I think their gazing upon y'alls beauty to be honest.”

pH-1 came around a corner and Riley's heart began to pump like it had never before. How the heck does he have this kind of control over my body? I barely know the guy. She shook her head to herself.

“What in the world are y'all doing here?” He asked as he looked Riley from head to toe. He couldn't deny her beauty and his hands tingled as if they were dying to touch her soft, slightly tanned skin. He placed his hands immediately into his pockets to avoid them doing anything that he had no control over.

Riley sighed. “Your boss sent us an invite earlier today and promised to give us a taste of what our grand opening night is going to be like.”

He looked around the place as if looking for someone. “Wow, well it's great to see all of you here. Ladies, you look gorgeous but I'm sure you already know that.”

“Yeah, but it never hurts to hear someone else say it sometimes.” Sapphire added.

Woodie and Sik-K were jumping up and down with the other guests. They were surrounded by quite a few people and they seemed to be having the time of their lives.

“You don't get down like them do you?” Riley asked him as she unconsciously rubbed his arm to grasp his attention.

His breath hitched in his throat for a moment. “I do sometimes. They're always crazy though.”

She nodded as she watched the guys.

“Sorry to cut this conversation short but I better grab them so we can get up on that stage.” He hurried off and met up with the crowd.

Riley kept her eyes on him as he disappeared through the crowd.

“Are you oogling him?” Minho asked.

Riley quickly looked away. “No, I don't oogle!” She rolled her eyes.

Sapphire simply smirked.

“I think you liked what you saw.” Minho kept picking with her.

Riley shook her head. “Whatever. He's handsome but I totally wasn't oogling him, okay?!” She crossed her arms as her cheeks began to turn a light shade of pink.

“Y'all ready?!” Woodie was hype as always. He couldn’t keep still.

Sik-k dapped him up. “I stay ready, bro!”

“So you know Jay invited Sapphire and Riley, right?” pH informed.

Sik-K was confused. “Who?”

“The owners of Moonlit, duh!” Woodie hit his arm.

Sik-K rubbed the pain away. “We meet so many people, my bad forgetting their names!”

“They're here now?” Woodie asked.

pH-1 nodded.

“Even more reason to tear that stage up! Leggo!” Woodie ran up on the stage.

The ladies couldn't help but turn up a little while they performed.

“They really know how to work a crowd!” Riley spoke to Sapphire and Minho over the loud music.

Minho bobbed his head. “I told you that you'd love them!”

The guys came off the stage as the DJ started playing other music. Girls were surrounding them, grabbing them to dance with them.

Riley rolled her eyes as she watched a girl grind on pH. “Wanna get some drinks?” She asked immediately.

Sapphire nodded. “Yep!” They hurried away to find the bar.

Riley tapped on the bar as she babysat her glass of wine.

“You've barely touched your drink, something must be on your mind.” Sapphire asked as she sipped her Moscato.

Riley exhaled loudly. “Suddenly I'm about ready to go.”

Sapphire jerked her arm. “Why? The party is still going.”

“Yeah and I'm not feeling it anymore.”

Sapphire downed the rest of her wine. “What's wrong? You're moody now.”

“I'm not moody I'm just ready to go. You can stay.”

“You know I'm not going to stay without you, though!” Sapphire rolled her eyes.

Riley took a small sip of her wine and shrugged.

Minho met up with them with the guys in tow with him. “Hey, we've been looking for y'all!”

Sapphire looked up from her glass and looked right into Jay Park's face. “Oh my gosh, nice to meet you! Thanks for inviting us.” She threw her hand out quickly.

Jay shook her hand. “Are you enjoying yourselves?” He laid eyes on Riley.

“Well this is unlike any party we've ever been invited to, this is all dope!” Sapphire exclaimed.

Jay chuckled. “All credit goes to my party planner. I just spit the money out for it. I'm glad you ladies came though, I just wanted to meet you officially.” He nodded.

Riley gave him a small smile. “Nice meeting you as well.”

He walked away to speak with some of his other guests.

“She's ready to go.” Sapphire told Minho.

“Y'all are leaving?” Woodie posed up next to Sapphire.

Sapphire shrugged. “If she leaves I'm going too.”

pH cocked his head to the side and grabbed Riley's hand. “You're not having fun?”

Riley pulled her hand back. “The party is cool, I'm just tired.”

“Come dance with me first?”

Riley looked up at him with searching eyes. Had he figured out that she was upset or did he genuinely want to dance with her? She knew she shouldn't feel special seeing as he just had another girl grinding her flat ass all over him which pissed her off even more the more she thought about it. She really had no reason to be mad, he wasn't hers but she still didn't like another female's hands on him.

“Don't tell me you're too tired for one dance!” He chuckled as he reached for her hand again.

She took his hand and followed him.

Woodie took a seat next to Sapphire. “Aye can I get a beer?”

The bartender handed him a Heineken.

He took a quick sip. “You enjoy the performance?”

She nodded. “Y'all were nice up there. The crowd really liked it for sure.”

“Phire, why are you being so modest?”

She giggled. “I'm not, this is just how I am.”

“I find that really hard to believe. You don't have to be shy around me.”

“I can't help it, this is just how I am around new people.” She looked towards the DJ stand.

Woodie grabbed her chin and turned her to face him. “Well I guess we better change that. What are you doing this weekend?”

Sapphire cleared her throat. “I have plans Saturday around noon but after that I'm pretty sure I'm free. Why?”

“I was going to ask could I take you on a date.”

Sapphire's eyes widened.

Woodie laughed. “Don't worry I'm not asking you to marry me I'm just trying to get to know you better if that's okay?”

“No, I didn't mean to offend you. I just wasn't expecting for you or anyone else here in Korea to ask me on a date.”

Woodie gave her a peculiar look. “Why wouldn't guys ask you out?”

She stared at him for a moment. “Do you really have to ask?”

Woodie was still confused. “You're gorgeous and you must be smart since you own two businesses. I don't see a problem with you.”

“You didn't notice that I'm not Korean or are you blind?” Sapphire giggled.

Woodie rolled his eyes. “I'm not like that, Phire. I realize you're not Korean but I think you're great regardless.”

She gave him a half smile. “Well not many people here are going overlook the fact that I have dark brown skin.”

“Well I think your skin is beautiful. It reminds me of chocolate and I love chocolate.” He caressed her uncovered thigh gently. “So is that a yes?”

Sapphire took a deep breath. “Sure!”

Riley and pH met back up with them at the bar.

Riley wrapped her arms around Sapphire neck and pushed her hair aside to reveal her ear. “Guess who has a date Saturday night!”

Sapphire squealed a little. “Me too!”

Chapter 6

Saturday morning had finally arrived. Sapphire was pretty excited for her date with Woojae- or Woodie, she wasn’t exactly sure which he would rather be called seeing as they now had a personal & professional relationship of some sorts.

Her phone pinged with a notification. We’re still on for today, right? She immediately dropped her head seeing as she had forgotten all about Bloo planning to show she and Riley around Seoul. She sighed and ran to Riley’s room. She knocked since the door was closed.

“Come in!” Riley yelled from the other side of the door. “Since when do you knock?” She asked as Sapphire cascaded on in.

“You might’ve been changing or something.”

“That’s never stopped you from coming in before.” Riley giggled as she laid out some outfits on her bed.

“I’m practicing good manners.” Sapphire said as she bounced onto the brass bed in Riley’s room. “So we have a dilemma. . .”

Riley looked up at her with her brow raised. “What kind of dilemma?”

Sapphire took a deep breath. “I got a text from Bloo a minute ago asking were we still on for today.”

“And you said what?”

“I haven’t responded yet. I totally forgot about it until he wrote me and I don’t have the heart to not go.”

Riley shook her head a bit. “What about our dates?”

“Woojae isn’t picking me up until like 3.” Sapphire was trying to figure out how to make this work.

Riley threw her a thumbs up. “Well have fun!” She said as she crossed the room.

Sapphire stopped her in her tracks. “I’m not going alone! He invited us both therefore you’re going too!”

“Do I have to? We both know that he really wants to hang with you.”

“I’m not going alone, if he wanted it to just be me he should’ve said that.” Sapphire shrugged.

Riley huffed her breath. “What time?”

Sapphire sent a quick text. What time again?

Riley started at her waiting on a response. The only thing she wanted to do was be in Junwon’s presence today to be honest but for her best friend she’d do just about anything.

Sapphire’s phone pinged. Pick you up at noon.

“He said he’ll pick us up at noon.” She related to Riley as she moved to her feet off the bed.

Sapphire rolled her eyes a bit. “You better be glad that I love you. I hope he knows that we have to be back home at 2. I’m not making Junwon wait!”

Sapphire nodded. And left out to find something to wear. About an hour later Bloo has texted that he was waiting outside for them.

Riley

Sapphire

Bloo pulled up to a winery. “They have the best wine here. Figured you ladies would enjoy a good wine tasting, am I right?”

Sapphire gave him a small smile. “Of course.”

Riley stepped out of his car almost eager to get some wine in her system. Suddenly she was feeling all the nerves of what was occurring that night. She was going to be alone on a legit date with Junwon and she wasn’t sure if her headspace was ready for it. “Wine sounds perfect right about now.” She walked ahead.

Bloo lingered back with Sapphire. “You don’t sound excited about this. . .”

Sapphire shook her head. “No I am, I think this is great it’s just I have a meeting in a couple of hours so I can’t drink too much. I’d hate to be tipsy.” She giggled a bit.

“What kind of meeting?” He asked. He wanted to pick her brain and see what other plans she had going on. He felt like a jealous boyfriend but the funny thing was he wasn’t looking for a girlfriend. He didn’t do relationships, they were too hectic and honestly he didn’t have the time nor patience for the drama that came along with relationships. No doubt he liked Sapphire but the fact remained that he wasn’t a relationship type of guy.

Sapphire cleared her throat. “I’m meeting a friend at some type of festival thingie. Nothing huge but it sounds fun.”

“Sounds like you’re making friendships pretty easily.” He sat in the chair across from her as she took the one next to Riley.

Sapphire nodded. “Seems like it. So what do you do outside of rapping?”

“That’s mostly all I do. I’m constantly in the studio and if I’m not doing that I’m performing. Music is my life.” He replied as he took a sip from a white wine that one of the servers poured.

Sapphire took a sip and immediately regretted it. “Ew. I hate dry wine.”

Riley giggled as she chugged it down. “It’s just what I need.”

Sapphire swueezed her leg and leaned closer to her. “Don’t drink too much, you don’t wanna be drunk for your date.” She said just above a whisper.

“Date?” Bloo smirked.

Riley blushed a little just with the thought of how good Junwon was going to look today.

“You seem excited. Must be a lucky guy. I guess I better report back to Loopy that you’re for sure not interested.” He said with a chuckle.

“He likes me?” She said as she burst into laughter.

“I mean he likes any person with a vagina but especially if she’s pretty and you definitely fit the bill.”

Riley became a bit uncomfortable. She always felt weird when someone called her pretty because she just didn’t see it. She felt like she was average looking yet she was okay with that. People seemed to rage about these great looks that she just wasn’t sure she possessed. “Well he’s nice and all but not my type. Not really into the man-whore type of guy.”

“Riley!” Sapphire’s mouth flew open.

“Well it’s the truth. He even tried to holla at you!”

Bloo rolled his eyes a bit. “Yeah, he’s something else but he means no harm.

They talked for a little while longer all enjoying one another’s company until it was time to leave. Bloo had more planned but since they had other engagements to attend he was fine with cutting it short and brought them home.

The girls rushed into their apartment. They literally only had 45 minutes to get ready.

“Riley!” Sapphire yelled.

She ran into her room. “What’s wrong?”

“Which outfit?” She asked. She held up two outfits.

Riley tapped her chin in thought. “That one!”

“You’re a lifesaver!”

The ladies got dressed and waited for the guys to show up. The nerves were starting to show up and it seemed out of their control.

Sapphire

Riley

“What if Woojae realizes just how awkward I am? He’s going to hate me.” Sapphire paced.

“You’re not awkward and even if you were it’s his loss if he doesn’t like you after tonight!”

Before Sapphire could answer there was a soft knock on the door. She answered it immediately after taking a deep breath.

Woojae smiled as he looked her from head to toe. “Well you look pretty.”

“Thank you.” She said as she looked away a bit.

Junwon followed after him through the door.

Riley met them at the door was well.

Junwon gave her a shy smile. “Hi gorgeous.”

Riley’s breath hitched in her throat. Hearing him say the word gorgeous made her stomach tingle.

“Ready to go?” Sapphire posed against the wall.

Woojae nodded. “Yes, so we came in sperate vehicles because after the festival we’re actually going to split up if that’s okay with y’all?”

Riley��s eyes bulged a bit. “Okay?”

“I have somewhere special I want to take you.” Junwon explained.

Sapphire smiled at her best friend. This guy was pulling out all the stops to impress her and she was definitely approving of him. “Cool with me, y’all need some alone time.”

Woojae grabbed her hand. “And I have something that I need your help with.”

“What is it?”

“You’ll see.” He said with a slick smile and pulled her out to his car.

Woojae held Sapphire’s hand as they walked around the festival.

“Basically its a food festival so there a lot of old traditional Korean foods that you can walk around and sample.” He shrugged. “I thought it would be cute to bring you here.”

She smiled. “I love it! Something different!” She said as she picked up a sample of Kimchi. “Mmm so good! Spicy but good.”

He took a bite as well. He held his chopsticks out for her to taste something else. “Here.”

She took the food into her mouth. As she chewed she made a weird face.

“You don’t like it?” He asked with a laugh.

She shook her head. “No, I’m sorry.”

He laughed a bit more. “Don’t apologize, I don’t like it that much either.”

“Why the heck are you eating it?” She hit his arm a little.

“Might as well try everything.”

Junwon and Riley trailed just behind them with his arm draped over her shoulder keeping her close.

“You enjoying this?” He asked her.

She nodded. “Yeah, I haven’t found anything that I don’t like the taste of.”

“Good. I’m glad you agreed to go out with me. I didn’t think you would.”

Riley looked up at him. “Why is that?”

“I don’t know I guess because we’re doing business and you don’t seem like the type to mix business with pleasure.”

She giggled a bit. “I don’t normally but you give me a feeling that I can’t explain and I figured why not explore it. Plus I’ll never turn down a free meal.”

“Oh so you’re using me for a free meal?!”

She rolled her eyes. “Well of course!”

Suddenly Sapphire came to a halt.

“Well I didn’t think I’d see you again today!” A male told her.

Sapphire became quiet.

Woojae just stared at the guy.

“Funny, you didn’t tell me that your ‘meeting’ was actually a subtle way of meaning a date. Two dates in one day you’re on a roll.” Bloo blurted out. He clearly had been drinking.

Sapphire shook her head and looked towards Woojae but he wouldn’t look at her.

“Y’all have a good rest of your date.” He said as he patted Woojae on the back and walked away with his buddies.

Sapphire turned to Woojae immediately. “I am so sorry that he did that. Me and him have never gone on a date, Riley was there too!”

Woojae chuckled. “Babygirl things like that don’t bother me. Are you in a relationship with him?”

Sapphire shook her head.

“Exactly and you’re not in one with me either so you can date whomever you want to-“

“But that wasn’t a date!” She interrupted.

He threw his hand up to stop her from speaking more “Even if it were, it doesn’t matter to me. It doesn’t change a thing, I’m just trying to get in where I fit in. I still like you, Phire. Okay?” He tipped her chin.

She nodded. “You sure about that?”

He licked his lips. “I’m certain.”

After the festival was over they went their separate ways.

The air whipped through Sapphire’s braids. “Where are you taking me?”

They pulled up to a building. She was becoming a bit more nervous with the unknown.

She opened the car door and stepped out. He came around the front of the vehicle to grab her hand and walk her into the building. She saw the H1ghr Music logo everywhere she looked.

“We’re at the studio in case you’re wondering.” He revealed as he opened one of the doors on the inside. She took a seat on the couch which was against the wall.

“Not that I’m not enjoying this time with you but why exactly are we here?” She asked becoming a bit on edge and impatient.

He turned a song on. As she listened to the words of the song it sounded so familiar. After the first verse there was nothing but the instrumental.

“It’s not finished but I after I met you in the coffee shop, our interaction seemed like a good story line for a song.” He blushed a bit.

She covered her face. “Wow!” Was all she could say.

He sat on the couch next to her and pulled her hands down. “What do you think?”

She breathed in. “I think it’s great. I like it. It’s kind of funny how we met though, who would’ve knew I’d be soliciting your services for my grand opening.”

Woojae chuckled. “Who would’ve knew you’d be in this studio with me or agree to go on a date with me.”

Sapphire kissed his cheek quickly and looked away.

Riley was laying on a blanket staring up at the stars while Junwon sat up with his knees pulled into his chest.

“So what’s so special about this place or than the fact that the sky is in perfect view?”

Junwon smiled. “I go here to write. It’s my secret writing spot I guess. It’s like my muse.”

She couldn’t believe he was sharing something like this with her so early on. Most people wouldn’t see the beauty in this gesture but to Riley, the small things counted the most. “Thank you for sharing you secret spot with me. Have you brought anyone else here before?” She was scared of what the answer would be.

“If you’re wanting to know if other females have been up here with me the answer is no.” He laughed.

Riley sat up. “No I wasn’t I just-“ she cut herself off and sighed. “Who am I kidding, yeah that’s exactly what I wanted to know.”

“I know. You’re the first.” Hopefully the last. He thought to himself.

He became quiet for a moment.

“What’s on your mind?” She asked.

He looked around at her for a moment then stared at the ground. “This may be hard to believe but I haven’t done much dating since I got to Korea. Music has been my main focus.”

She was thanking God in her head. “What makes me so special then?”

“I don’t know. That’s what I’m trying to figure out myself.”
