[cult-of-husbandos]

Can I ask you to make a scenario about how your tsundere boyfriend reacts when you spend less time with him, and spend more time with his friend. You know when the tsundere thinking that you are breaking up with him, creating a big misunderstanding, and try to prevent it by changing his looks and personalities for you

arata ryuu [tsundere] - You're Mine, Not His!!

genre: angst, fluff, typical tsundere vibes

word count: 10.3k

warnings: none.

Your boyfriend, Arata Ryuu, was not the most… eloquent person on the planet. Nor was he the most thoughtful boyfriend in the world. For instance, if you both were on a date and you suggested a place he’d outright tell you that you didn’t have an inkling of fun in your entire body. Now, you know in your heart and mind that he doesn't mean to say ruthless and mean things, but sometimes it gets harder and harder to ignore that your boyfriend once told you that you made the Kardashians look like Einstein while on a study date. Or when he tells you that your hair looks stupid and inconvenient when you’re trying out a new style. OR when he told you in the middle of the date that you ‘must crave attention’ because your outfit made one man’s head turn. However, despite all this you’ve come to love your spiteful and brutally honest boyfriend. He has his sweet and gentle side that rears its head every once in a while. Mostly, when you’re upset and depressed. He’s never failed to put a smile on your face or cheer you up. He’s even better at giving self-care than you are to yourself. You honestly wouldn’t trade in your boyfriend for anything in the world, but sometimes you wish he could be a little more sensitive to your feelings and open to ideas that you had.

Like, today. You just scored two tickets to a concert of your favorite band. Die hard fans would kill to get these tickets. But…

“What do you mean you don’t wanna go?!”

“I don’t know what language you want me to repeat that simple sentence in so I’ll say it again slowly for you. I. Do not. Want. To. Go. To. A. Stupid. Stray Kids. Concert.”

You’ve never wanted to throttle a person more than you want to throttle your boyfriend right now. Moving aside that he just called Stray Kids ‘stupid’, he loves Kpop. Sure he’s more of a SHINee and MAMAMOO fanboy but when you first started dating he said he actually liked a few of their songs you used to play in the car. Ugh! Why on this day of all days was he choosing to be stubborn?

“I heard you the first time! What I mean is why don’t you wanna go? We haven’t been on a date in a while! I thought you liked their songs. Plus, you’re always saying that I never want to do anything fun. Well, here’s two of the most unobtainable tickets on the market and it's the first row.”

“Okay. First, going to a hot, sweaty, crowded concert where I only know their songs from older albums surrounded by feral fangirls doesn’t sound like fun. It sounds like a speedrun to needing hearing aids and never wanting children. Second, I do like their songs and they're pretty decent but I think I’d rather stay at home where it’s nice and quiet than go to a concert to watch you drool over some pretty boys.”

“Ugh! You are so unbelievable! Just forget it! Have fun at home watching the East of Eden over and over again, you ungrateful jerk!”

You stormed off with a red face and stinging eyes not bothering to listen to the distant calls of your boyfriend. And he has the nerve to call you boring! Can’t he just appreciate the effort that you went through to get these tickets and at least tell you in a normal, gentle way that he didn’t want to go?

‘‘Oh, thank you so much (Y/N) for thinking about me but I don’t really listen to Stray Kids all that much. I wouldn’t have as much fun as you because I don’t know any of their new songs. I’m sorry.’’ Why couldn’t he just say that instead of making me feel like an idiot for thinking about him in the first place!’

You kept a sour face all the way home and had a disgruntled face when you went to sleep. Needless to say, you didn’t get much sleep that night and it was rightfully your stupid boyfriend’s fault. As you were getting ready to go to your classes you looked at your Stray Kids tickets on your desk. You let out a sigh.

‘What am I going to do with these now?’ You picked up the tickets and frowned. You had imagined going to the concert with your boyfriend and having fun watching the boys in the front row and bonding over your shared love of Kpop. Now that was just a distant fantasy as you remember Ryuu’s words. You sighed pitifully and put them back down on the desk. ‘Maybe I can find someone who’ll want to go with me.’ With that in mind, you finished getting ready and headed towards your classes.

—

“Ugh… that was the longest 3 hours of my life…” you complained, walking out of the lecture hall. Maybe you should switch majors after all. That stuff you just learned was more complex and disorientating than anything else in your other classes. You wanted nothing more than to go back home and sleep in your nice, warm bed.

‘Should I just skip my last class? I’m soo tired… and I’m pretty sure that professor uploads class logs onto the canvas. Bleh… I wonder if this is what my parents envisioned my college life to be. Wondering if their child should skip a 2 hour class because they’re so exhausted from stewing over their boyfriend.’

A deep grumble interrupted your thoughts. You rubbed your stomach and sighed pitifully again. You weren’t in the mood to eat anything for breakfast this morning. So now you’re tired and hungry. Mulling over your choices you decided to skip your last class of the day and head to the cafeteria for an early lunch. It won’t hurt to miss one class. You walked into the cafeteria and looked at the menu. Nothing that you wanted was being served today, but you couldn’t spend your money ordering out this time. You ordered some ramen and sat down at an empty table. As you filled your belly with ramen, you sighed deeply. Thinking about your money troubles made you think again about the concert tickets burning a hole in your bank account.

‘Everyone that I asked to go to the concert either with me has classes on that day or have plans. I’ve asked all my friends and even some group project members. If I go alone then I’ll just be that loser who goes to a concert all by themselves and looks like an idiot singing by myself. But if I don’t go then I’ll just have worthless and expired tickets sitting in my drawer and I’ll start crying every time I look at my bank account…’ You sigh again and hold your cheek, ‘Maybe I’ll just sell the tickets. That way I’ll most likely get even more money than I spent to get them because they're so rare and I’ll just find something else to do with that money…’

You were so deep in thought that you jumped when you felt someone tap you on the shoulder. Whipping your head back, you saw a familiar face smiling at you. It was your boyfriend’s childhood best friend. His name is Tachibana Eiji, or Ei-chan as you like to call him. Ryuu introduced him to you when you both started getting serious about each other. Ei-chan is the polar opposite of your boyfriend. He’s sweet, gentle, caring, out-going, very personal, and extremely extroverted. He can make friends with just about anyone. You’d often wonder how he and your boyfriend became friends in the first place. Ryuu and Ei-chan didn’t even like the same things. The only thing they shared a common interest in is video games. Specifically, Genshin Impact. You’ve often lost many date nights with Ryuu because of that game. Ei-chan is also extremely attractive and super popular with both women and men. Not to say that your boyfriend isn’t attractive, but if you put the two together Ei-chan stands out the most. He always has his hair dyed a super bright color and also wears colored contacts. He’s super fashionable like he just stepped off a photoshoot and he’s always so modest and chivalrous. Hmm… maybe you chose the wrong best friend to date.

Ei-chan chuckled. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you like that. I’ve been calling your name for a while, but you looked so out of it. You must’ve been thinking about something super hard to drown out the world like that.” he said, taking a seat right next to you.

You let out a nervous laugh. “Heh, yeah. Sorry about that. I didn’t even realize I was thinking that hard. It was over something super stupid anyway.”

“Hehe. You shouldn’t drown out the world like that. Someone will take advantage of you.”

“What? Please Ei-chan. I’m not a little kid. I can handle myself.” you say with a pout.

Ei-chan laughed. “Yeah, yeah. You can’t blame a guy for worrying. You’re my best friend’s partner. I have to be vigilant and protective when he’s not here. You’re so cute that people always look like they want to steal you away. So when your boyfriend’s not here I have to protect you from those perverts and thieves.”

You felt your turn flush and you jabbed Ei-chan's arm. “S-Shut up. Don’t joke about something like that.” you stuttered, turning your attention back to your food. You forgot that Ei-chan always did that. Just saying things without thinking about it. He always blurts out whatever’s on his mind. Most people take it the wrong way and immediately think he’s being flirty. That’s why he has so many admirers. Your friends often told you that you should be dating Ei-chan instead of Ryuu. Even though Ei-chan is really popular he’s not dating anyone. He says that he’s keeping an eye out for someone special. Someone that’s perfect to him in every way. Even though that sounds super vague and like an impossible measure you kind of understand his preference. Even though he’s stubborn, mean, and a bit of a brute, Ryuu fits your ideal of a special someone. He’s perfect in every way to you.

“So, what was it?” Ei-chan asked, startling you out your thoughts once again.

“Hm? What was what?”

“What were you thinking about so hard that smoke was coming out of your ears?” Ei-chan laughed and gently caressed your ears causing your face to flush again. This guy… Always so touchy-touchy.

“Nothing.” you muttered quickly. “It was… just… something stupid…” You looked down at your steaming ramen. It was just a silly fight over concert tickets. Why did it get so heated? Ei-chan stared at you for a while before speaking again.

“Did you have a fight with Ry-chan?” he asked.

‘W-What?! How did he know that?! Did he read my mind or something? Wait… no… don’t be stupid, (Y/N). He’s Ryuu’s best friend… obviously he told him…’

“Um, yeah! Kind of. Did Ryuu tell you that?”

“Nope! Your face told me.”

“M-My face? What? Am I really that easy to read?”

“Hehe! Yeah, a little.”

You felt a little vulnerable. You didn’t know that your facial expressions were so easily read. Your parents and your friends told you that it looked like your face was made of stone when you were thinking. You’ve been told that it looks like you're angry when you think too hard, like when you’re studying. Ei-chan is super amazing if he can read you like a book without a cover.

“Hey, don’t look so down. He may be my best friend, but if I know Ry-chan it’s that he’s never hurt your feelings intentionally. Sometimes he has a hard time showcasing his emotions and his true thoughts and feelings. I’ve gotten pretty used to his attitude and I can read him super easily now. So, whatever happened, just know that Ry-chan likes you so much that he’ll most likely apologize by the next day.”

You smiled at Ei-chan defending ways. He’s right. He grew up with Ryuu so he probably knows what Ryuu’s thinking better than you. “You’re right. I know deep down that what he says isn’t what he really means, but sometimes I forget that I don’t know him like you and I let it hurt my feelings. Plus, I said some pretty mean things too. So, if anything it’s both our faults for being so childish. I’ll text him later.”

“So mature!” Ei-chan commented in a playful tone. “So, back to my question. What were you thinking so hard about? It can’t be just about the fight.”

‘Maybe he is a mind reader…’

“Oh. Well, I have two tickets for the Strays Kids concert. Ryuu said he didn’t want to go and-” you explained, but were immediately cut off.

“You have two tickets for the Strays Kids concert?!” Ei-chan shouted, nearly knocking over his chair in excitement as he stood up. “I’ve been trying to get those tickets for weeks, but they’re sold out everywhere! Even scalpers don’t have them! How’d you get them?! Oooh, can I go with you?! Please please please please pleeeeeease! I’ll do anything!”

You sat there shocked at the display. You’ve never seen Ei-chan act like this. He was the cool, calm, and level-headed guy. Now, he was on his knees begging and pleading in the middle of the cafeteria. You had no idea that Ei-chan could be this loud either.

“U-Umm… Ei-chan. People are staring…” you whispered, looking around and noticing all the eyes in your direction.

Ei-chan looked around and his face immediately flushed bright red. He sat back in his chair and cleared his throat.

“Um… I mean… if that’s okay with you… I’d really like to go…” he muttered quietly, fidgeting in his seat. His eyes were pleading. He looked like a puppy begging for a treat. You’ve never seen him so embarrassed before. Even someone as calm and cool as Ei-chan can get extremely loud and hyper. It’s honestly kinda cute…

You laughed at his flushed face. “Sure! Ryuu doesn’t want to go and I was planning on selling them so it’ll be fun to go with someone who likes them too.”

Ei-chan smiled brightly and hugged you, fully knocking over his chair. “Yes yes yes! Thank you so much (Y/N/N)! We’re gonna have so much fun! I totally owe you!”

It was now your turn to blush. You gently hugged him back. “I-It’s no problem, Ei-chan.” you stuttered, feeling envious eyes bore holes into you. “You can let no go now…”

Ei-chan pulled back with a laugh. “Sorry. When it comes to these things I’m a total fanboy. I couldn’t help my excitement.”

You smiled back. “It’s fine. Let’s finish eating. I’ll text you later about the time and place.”

“Sounds like a plan! Thanks again (Y/N)! You’re seriously awesome!”

You giggled and continued eating lunch with Ei-chan, making small talk and discussing what to wear to the concert and plans on how to get there. You’ve almost forgotten about your argument with Ryuu.

—

You finally arrived home, kicking your shoes off and tossing your bag on your couch. You were definitely feeling better than you were this morning. You plopped down on the couch and pulled out your phone to text Ryuu that you were sorry about saying mean things to him. However, you were surprised to see multiple messages from him.

You smiled at the messages. Ei-chan was right again. Even though he didn’t apologize directly it was obvious that he was upset about how things ended and texted you his true feelings that he wasn’t able to do directly. You quickly typed back.

Maybe you were wrong to judge your boyfriend so quickly. You weren’t used to his actions and behaviors like Ei-chan. It takes so getting used to. It wasn’t long before you heard your phone go off.

You laughed. You quickly texted back.

Before you could put your phone down you got another text.

His response seems kind of curt but maybe that’s you overthinking it. You stretched and stood up, looking at the clock. It was nearly three. You let out a yawn.

‘Hm, maybe I should get some work done from the missed class. Then, I think I earned myself a nap.’

You stumbled out of the car giggling uncontrollably at the feeling of your jelly legs. One might think you were drunk and coming back from an exciting night out. That wouldn;t be too far from the truth, minus the drunk part. The concert blew all expectations you had out of the water. You made the right choice bringing Ei-chan with you. He sang every song with you and danced just as goofily as you did. But, that’s not even the best thing to ever happen tonight.

You actually touched Felix.

THE LEE FELIX.

It was only a graze of hands, but it was enough to send you into a wild, feral frenzy. You nearly passed out on the spot. Luckily, E-chan was there to catch you and freak out with you. Ryuu never would’ve stood for another guy touching you, even if they were a celebrity. Speaking of which, you hadn’t seen or heard from him since you told him you were going to the concert with Ei-chan. You would be worried, but your boyfriend had a tendency of ghosting you for days and then talking to you again. It was just his personality you suppose. Some people are like that.

You're brought out of your thoughts when you hear a familiar laugh and a hand reaches out towards you. You looked up and saw Ei-chan’s bright smile as he helped you up.

“Hehe! That was so much fun!” you exclaimed, leaning up against Ei-chan as he helped you walk towards your apartment building. “You don’t have to walk me to my door y’know. It’s enough that you drove us halfway across town to get to the concert.”

“Aah don’t worry about it!” Ei-chan replied with another gentle smile. “It would've been a hassle to get a ride to and from the concert and I insisted. Plus, it’s super dark out. I’d be an inconsiderate moron if I didn’t make sure you made it inside your apartment safely.”

“Woow! Such a gentleman!” You feigned a swoon and Ei-chan laughed. As you walked up the stairs you saw a familiar figure standing at your door.

“Ryuu?” you called out, squinting to see the figure better.

The figure turned towards you and the figure’s face became clearer as you and Ei-chan walked closer. It was Ryuu! What was he doing here so late at night?

“Ryuu? What’re you doing standing by my door?” you asked.

Ryuu’s face remained stoic, but something about how his eyes looked at the two of you was a bit unnerving. You couldn;t quite place the emotion, but the look in his eyes made your stomach jump.

“Ry-chan! Were you waiting for (Y/N/N)? How romantic!” Ei-chan gushed, causing you to blush when Ryuu put his head down confirming Ei-chan’s statement.

‘H-He waited up for me? That’s really sweet…’

“Whatever. Let go of her already.” Ryuu finally spoke up, assertively tugging at your arm and pulling you into him. Your face grew brighter and redder as you were enveloped into your boyfriend’s warm chest. The smell of his cologne seemed foreign to you though. He always wore the same kind of cologne every day. When you asked him about it, he told you that other scents make his head hurt and his sinuses go crazy. It threw you off a little. You couldn’t quite place it, but he smelled like someone else.

Ei-chan giggled. “Oooh! So protective! I was just walking them to their door to make sure they got home safe.”

“Well, they are.” your boyfriend snipped. The look on your boyfriend’s face changed from stoic to disgruntled. Was he… mad at Ei-chan? No, they can’t be. They’re best friends. “So you can leave now, Eiji.”

“Okay, okay! I know when I’m a third wheel. Looks like we’re gonna have to take a raincheck on that sleepover, (Y/N/N).”

“Aww. Okay. Well,… we’re still on for Monday brunch right?”

“Of course! I’ll text you later.” Ei-chan slid in to give you a hug, but that was nearly impossible due to the protective grip your boyfriend had on you. You’ve never seen him act this way. Normally, when it came to Ei-chan, he didn’t care if he hugged you. But, now he was holding on to you like you were going to blow away in the wind at any minute. Ei-chan waved goodbye and walked away. You looked back up at your boyfriend whose face had gone back to stoic.

“So… um-” Before you could say anything, Ryuu interrupted.

“Can you open the door now? My legs hurt from standing here all damn night.”

“Oh, yeah, sure. S-Sorry…” You had no idea why you were apologizing. You fumbled around in your bag, fishing out your keys. Once you got your door unlocked Ryuu brushed inside. Maybe he was tired. After locking your door and putting down your bag and keys you continued your sentence.

“Um… I didn’t get a text from you tonight. I… I didn’t know you were coming over.”

“Do I need a reason to come visit you? We are dating.”

“Oh, um, I guess not… but if you had texted me I wouldn’t have stayed out too late. It probably looked really suspicious to my neighbors to see you standing outside my door all night.”

“Fuck them. I don’t care what they think.”

You were shocked. His answers were quick and curt. He was facing you, but his eyes weren’t looking at you. The air around you felt tense and awkward. What was going on with him?

“What was Eiji talking about when he said ‘sleepover’?”

“Um, well, since it was so late I suggested he sleep here. Then he suggested that we watch the concert footage together and have some sort of afterparty. Y’know, talking about the concert and singing our favorite songs.”

“Uh-huh.”

Okay. Something was definitely up. Was Ryuu actually being protective over you? From Ei-chan? His only best friend?

“Did you have fun?” Ryuu asked, bringing you out your thoughts.

“Huh? Oh, yeah. We had a lot of fun.” you smiled. “Honestly, it was the most fun I’ve had in a while.”

“Hmph! I see…” The room was quiet. Did he not want you to have fun? Isn’t he the one that’s always saying that you’re no fun?

“Eiji. He’s a handful.” Ryuu stated. “He can get loud and annoying and overbearing when he’s excited. So, I guess if you had fun…” he trailed off.

“Um, yeah. I witnessed that first hand. Heh, if being up close to the music wasn’t going to make me deaf then it would’ve definitely been his screaming. I had no idea he was capable of producing such a volume. But, he’s honestly such an energizing guy. When he gets excited, it kind of makes me want to get excited. Maybe that’s just me feeling off his vibes, but I swear the concert felt like a different experience with him there.”

“Different? How?”

“I don’t know. Normally, when I go to a concert, it’s hot and muggy and I get so irritated when people push and shove me. I take pictures and video and then I sit in a parking lot for hours trying to get out before the real crowding happens. Then, I go home and probably not even think about it after a couple of weeks. But, with Ei-chan… I dunno. The concert seemed… amazing.”

You suddenly jumped at a loud thud next to you. Ryuu had a clenched fist against your wall. His eyes were dark and his jaw was clenched.

“R-Ryuuu-”

“I’m going home.”

“W-What?! But… you just got here.”

“Yeah well now I’m just leaving.”

You could barely get a word out as Ryuu stormed out, slamming the door behind him. You stared at the door for a while before you turned to look at your wall. As you walked up to it, you grazed your fingers around the small dent Ryuu had made. You gulped nervously. You had never seen your boyfriend behave this way. Sure he could be a big pig-headed, stubborn, even downright ornery; that was part of his charm. But, you had never seen this much aggression come from him. Especially not towards you. What could he possibly be mad at? Could he be mad that he waited outside your apartment door all night? Or was he upset that you went to the concert?

No… Could it be that…

He was upset that you went to the concert…

With Ei-chan?

No… no no. That couldn’t be it. Your boyfriend might be a jerk but there’s no way he even felt that way. He didn’t say anything when you told him you were going with Ei-chan even though he had days to do so.

And he was the one that said boldly that he didn’t want to go. He could’ve told you in the texts but he didn’t say that. You felt the sides of your head sting and tighten. All this roundabout thinking was giving you a headache. You were just thinking yourself into circles and getting nowhere.

“Ugh… all this thinking… it’s giving me a migraine…” you muttered, massaging the sides of your temple. “I need to stop overthinking too much.” You gave yourself a quick whiff and reeled back at the smell of your sweat. “Oof! Oh my god… What I need is a hot shower and to get my ass into bed… Whatever’s going on with Ryuu… he’ll tell me… or I’ll get it out of him… for now I’m too tired to even think about what I want for breakfast tomorrow.”

You trudged to your bedroom to sort out your pajamas and turned on your shower to the highest heat. You were too exhausted to think. Maybe this all will work itself out.

—

Yeah, maybe that was too much hopeful thinking on your part. Ryuu was getting weirder and weirder around you. He smelled weird. He was wearing very dazzling and fashionable clothes and accessories. For example, on a date you noticed that his ears were red and you could notice shiny silver jewelry sticking out when his hair moved. You had to interrogate him for a while but then he finally broke down and told you that he got earrings and wanted to wait until they were fully healed to show you. When you asked why he would get earrings even though he hates wearing jewelry he just huffed and said, “Because I just wanted to! Okay?”

Hell, he was even talking weird! He didn’t sound like himself. You don’t know if the word is trendy or whatever, but your boyfriend’s vocabulary has completely turned 180 from how he usually sounds. You sent him a pic of an outfit that you were thinking of wearing out on a date and he called you ‘babez’. Yeah, ‘babes’ but with a z. You don’t know why, but the twisted turn that your stomach did made you never want to hear him say that word ever again.

On top of that, he was even acting weird with Ei-chan. You and Ei-chan were spending a lot of time with each other. After the concert and having brunch with one another, you’ve discovered that you two share similar likes in music, hobbies, shows, etc.. You felt a certain connection with Ei-chan, like you’ve known him since childhood. However, whenever you told Ryuu that you wanted to do something and he said no, you’d invite Ei-chan. Then, Ryuu would hog all your attention and keep you away from messaging Ei-chan. Ryuu would take you to dinner, dates, and do things with you that you’d normally have to beg to get him to do. Now, it seemed like he was doing it for his own volition. Or maybe you were confusing it with spite. You weren’t completely blind. Anytime you so much as mentioned doing something with Ei-chan, Ryuu would either shut down or take you out and bombard you with the most romantic spiel you’ve ever seen.

This wasn’t the Ryuu you knew. But, this was the Ryuu that you’ve kind of wished he was. Kind, loving, caring, sweet. These were all the things you wished your boyfriend to be before. But, now… you don’t know why, but this new attitude he had. It was starting to freak you out a little. After the past week, it looked like your boyfriend’s personality was changing. Your boyfriend had gone from cold, stoic, emotionally-stunted to a sweet, romantic, darling. You didn’t know why you couldn’t be happy. Maybe your boyfriend had changed after your fight and was trying to better himself. It just didn’t settle right with you. This was all you could think about; in the morning, during classes, even at night. You couldn’t shake this unnerving feeling you got around him nowadays.

“(Y/N/N)!”

Normally, that nickname is reserved for Ei-chan. It’s what he usually calls you nowadays instead of your name. However, as soon as you turn your head you’re more likely to see your boyfriend calling you that nickname instead.

‘Speak of the devil…’

“Hey, Ryuu.” you answered back, stopping to stare at him. You couldn’t put your finger on it but something was off with him today again. “You just finished classes too?”

He nodded. “Yep! I’m totes tired. I want it to be the weekend again.”

You cringed at his quirky awkward slang. “Totes”? Your boyfriend has never in the time that you’ve known him used that kind of word in his life. It seems like your boyfriend is always picking up a word and using it to the full extent these days. It doesn’t sound like him. He sounds like a robot. Or a clone. Or a cloned robot. Either way, you didn’t like it.

“Anyways, I was thinking we should get drinks at that new boba place downtown.” You weren’t really focusing on his words. You just kept staring at his face. The more his lips moved the more you noticed something.

“Do you have something on your lips?” you asked randomly.

Ryuu stopped in his tracks. His eyes looked everywhere except at you.

“N-No! I don’t know what you’re talking about-” His nervous attempt to cover up his mouth and mutter an excuse was cut short as you roughly grabbed his collar and kissed him. When you finally pulled away, Ryuu's eyes widened and his cheeks were flushed red.

“What the fuck-”

“Cherry.” you stated, licking your lips. “Why the hell are you wearing cherry lip balm? You hate vaseline coated cosmetics.”

Ryuu's eyes were darting everywhere. “What? Is that a crime or something? My lips were chapped and I found some lip balm in my backpack. Probably put there by you… so I just put on a little…”

“Why would I put lip balm in your backpack when I know you hate it?”

“Why do you force me to watch Love Island with you when you know I hate that too?”

You huffed and crossed your arms. “Touché, but you still didn’t answer my question.”

Your boyfriend sputtered. You’ve never seen this side of him before either; flabbergasted. Ryuu was always quick and snippy, often telling you to mind your own business and to let things go, but now he looked like a guilty child caught doing something bad. It’s not that you don’t like your boyfriend with smoother lips, although a weird side of you missed the roughness of his lips, you just wanted some answers.

“(Y/N/N)! Ry-chan!” a familiar voice called out.

You looked over to see a pink-haired smiling bunny boy running towards you and Ryuu. Your eyes widened and you couldn’t help but smile.

“Ei-chan?!” you gasped. His hair was dyed a cotton candy pink and the top of his head adorn white fluffy bunny ears. He looked soooo adorable!!!

“Omigosh! You look soooooo cute!!” you exclaimed, reaching out to touch his hair. “It’s so pink and fluffy and soft! Like a cloud! And your bunny ears! Aaahhh! I think I’m going to have a heart attack!!” You were catching some weird glances with all your squealing, but you could care less. Ei-chan lightly giggled.

“Thank you, (Y/N/N). I just got this itch to dye my hair a cute color and decided on pink. And the bunny ears are from the theatre department. We were sorting through old props and costumes and a few of the girls put this on me. They also said I looked adorable so I decided to wear it. What do you think? Did I pull it off?” he asked, posing playfully.

You laughed. “I think you could start a trend. I can see it now. Men and women all over the world dying their hair bright colors and wearing bunny ears to charity balls and dates. Like an ode to Easter or something. You’ll be the poster child. You’d probably have international designers following your every move to catch the latest trend set by you.”

Ei-chan shuddered and took off the bunny ears with a nervous smile. “On second thought, I think I’ll stop while I’m ahead. Just the thought of having a thousand eyes on me, waiting for me to do something, gives me anxiety. Isn’t that what made Van Gogh cut off his ear?”

“Pfft-! Haha, what’re you talking about?” you laughed. “First off, Van Gogh was reportedly bipolar and schizophrenic and cut off his ear because of an argument he had with another painter, not because he was the trendiest guy in the world. Second off, think of all the money you’d make by setting the latest trends. Telling people what to wear seems a lot easier than mathematical physics.” you sighed, looked down at your heavy math book. Damn your pursuit for higher knowledge.

“Nah, that’s not for me. Plus, I’d rather be here with you guys than some snooty charity fashion ball. You guys are way more fun.”

“Aww, you’d turn down millions of dollars to be with us? Isn’t that sweet, Ryuu?” You looked over at your boyfriend to get his response, but found a despondent Ryuu. “Hey, Ryuu?” You touched his arm lightly. He jerked at your touch and looked at you and Ei-chan with a lost look.

“Huh? W-What?”

“Ryuu? Are you okay?” you asked, reaching out to touch him again only to be brushed off.

“Y-Yeah, I’m fine! Why?”

“You just looked… out of it, that’s all, Ry-chan. You looked like you were zoning out. Weren’t you listening to the conversation?”

“Conversation about what? About how you look like a 2012 softcore aesthetic tumblr blog made by an edgy 14 year old girl who thinks she’s quirky and different because she drinks Monster for breakfast? Aren’t you a man? You’re not supposed to look cute. It’s gross.”

“Ryuu!” You smacked your boyfriend’s arm. Where was this attitude coming from? Ryuu smacked his lips and left swiftly. You called out to him multiple times to come back and apologize, but he didn’t even look back at you. Ei-chan put his arm on your shoulder to calm you down.

“Hey, it’s okay. That’s just how he is.”

“He shouldn’t have said that to you. You’re his best friend. He should watch what he says.”

“Hehe. Don’t worry about it. It’s not the first time he’s said something like that. Plus, I don’t think he liked that you praised my pink hair so much. I know I would be jealous if the person I was in a relationship with was ranting and raving over another guy.”

You pouted and crossed your arms. Ei-chan could read Ryuu so much better than you. “Then, why didn’t he just say that? I was just saying that I liked how you can be so trendy without even realizing it. I would’ve dialed it back if he had just told me that I was being overbearing towards you.” You were starting to realize every day how little you knew about your boyfriend. You can barely guess what mood he’s in by his texts but Ei-chan can decipher your boyfriend’s precise mood and face just by his punctuation. You want so much to know what your boyfriend’s thinking. To be like Ei-chan and to get into his headspace and know just his lips what he’s going to say.

You let out a long sigh. “I guess I still don’t quite understand his methods like you do. I just wish he would communicate with me a little better…”

Ei-chan wrapped his arm around you. “Believe me. You will. Trust me. It took some time to understand the complexity that is Arata Ryuu, but with patience comes acceptance.”

You shrugged. “Yeah, I guess you’re right…”

Ei-chan shook you gently. “Hey now, don’t be too upset. If you’re too upset then the surprise will be ruined.”

You raised your eyebrow and looked at him. “Surprise?”

“SURPRISE!!” Ei-chan exclaimed, pulling out two white strips from his pocket and shoving them in your face, flashing you a toothy grin. You jumped back at the sudden burst of excitement and squinted at the two pieces of paper, squinting and wondering what the hell you were looking at.

“I got us two tickets to see Mya Solovyova perform ballet at the Royal 99 Opera House tonight!”

Your eyes widened and you began to feel the same excitement as Ei-chan. This must be exactly how he felt when you told him you had two tickets to the Stray Kids concert.

“Mya Solovyova?! Royal 99 Opera House?!! Tonight?!?” You felt like you were close to hyperventilating. Everything was spinning and moving so fast. You grabbed a hold of Ei-chan's arm who was more than willing to hold you up.

“Ei-chan! Those tickets cost a fortune and are nearly impossible to get! How did you-” you were cut off by Ei-chan putting a finger to your lips.

“You have your sources and I have mine.” he answered with a spirited wink. Now, you definitely felt like you were going to pass out. Even if Ei-chan did have his sources hook him up with two tickets, that's still two tickets to the most expensive, exclusive opera house in the country. Even one ticket would cost you a kidney. You knew that Ei-chan had a little money from his family’s company, but not this much.

“E-Ei-chan… I-I… I don’t know what to say…” you stuttered, trying to find the words to express your gratitude that he would go so far for you. “How could I ever-” Once again, you’re cut off by his finger touching your lips.

“Just wear your most gorgeous outfit and bring your beautiful smile. That’ll be all the thanks I need.”

—

Your floor was littered with glittering and dazzling clothes that you’ve put on and pulled off yourself in a desperate attempt to look halfway decent for tonight. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not every college student is lucky or rich enough to score tickets to the exclusive Royal 99 Opera House on opening night. You’d have to either know someone within the building to get you in or you’d have to be the bestest of friends with the elite and mega rich to even set foot in their bathroom. You didn’t want the staff and other viewers to look at you and see some random bummy college student whose only luxury experience is eating sushi at a restaurant and not from a convenience store. You wanted them to see a sophisticated young adult that doesn’t experience culture shock when paying for a $50 meal. It sounds vain you know that, but however Ei-chan went through to get these tickets you did not want to embarrass him.

As you were checking yourself in the 16th outfit that didn’t make you feel unworthy, you heard your phone go off with a ding. It was a text. From Ryuu. He was asking if you wanted to go out for dinner tonight.

‘What?? Oh no… Why tonight of all nights he could’ve asked me?! Ugh… I’ll just have to tell him that I can’t go… Hopefully he won’t be too upset. This is last minute.’

You texted him that you couldn’t make it for dinner and told him where Ei-chan was taking you tonight. You were going to send him a picture of your outfit to get his opinion, but another ding went off.

You stared at your phone for a while, but before you could even begin to wonder what your boyfriend meant you heard your doorbell ring. Thinking that it must be Ei-chan coming to pick you up, you hurriedly grabbed your bag, wallet, keys, and phone, and shuffled to the door putting your shoes on as fast as possible. You opened the door, but Ei-chan wasn’t at your door. It was an older man dressed in a suit with a cap and white gloves. He pulled out a card from his breast pocket and looked you up and down.

“(Y/N) (L/N)?” he asked, his voice deep and gentle.

“Um, yes?” you answered, cocking your head to the side and raising your eyebrow at the strange man standing at your door late at night. “Can I help you?”

He smiled and tipped his hat at you. “Hello, my name is Chie Jun. I’m your driver for this evening.”

“D-Driver?” you gaped.

“Yes. I’ve been instructed by Mr. Tachibana to escort you to the Opera House this evening. However, judging by that look on your face, I’m guessing he didn’t tell you that.”

You dazedly shook your head no. Just how rich was Ei-chan that he could afford two tickets on opening night at the elite opera house AND hire a driver to come pick you up.

“Well then, shall we be off. Don’t want to be late now, do we?” He tipped his hat again and shifted his body to face down the hallway. You nodded and fumbled to close your door and lock it. You nearly tripped over yourself as the driver escorted you down the stairs. Your mouth hung agape and your eyes widened at the beautiful, black, shiny stretch limo sitting in the dingy parking lot. Mr. Chie held the door open for you and you remained slack jawed at the luxury leather interior and plush plum carpet. Dim lights and a glass sitting delicately next to a bottle of champagne nestled lovingly in a bucket of ice. If it weren’t for the feeling that you could pass out at any moment now, you’d scream in astonishment. This must be what the elite get to experience every day. You don’t know how even one begins to get used to this. As you looked around you noticed you were a member short.

“Is Ei-chan- I mean! Is Eiji not riding with us?”

The driver who had just started up the car, looked into the backseat mirror and shook his head.

“Mr. Tachibana is already at the opera house waiting for you.”

You sat back into the comfy leather seats and stared at the window in amazement.

‘Ei-chan really is amazing…’

—

As the limo pulled up to the opera house you had to stop your jaw from dropping to the ground. You never thought in a million years you’d be standing outside the most expensive opera house in a limo with a driver. You almost didn’t want to pinch yourself. What if this was a dream? What if you knocked yourself out and were laying on the floor of your cramped apartment in a sea of clothes? As Mr. Chie opened the door for you and helped you out of the limo, you felt your breath hitch at the sight. The bright, buzzing bulbs that made the entire building light up the sky was a mesmerizing sight. You hadn’t even stepped inside and you were happy with all you’ve seen from the outside. Your driver guided you inside the building where waves of people with luxurious dresses and suits with blinding jewelry walked through three sets of double doors to find their seats.

You heard turned and swayed as if it was on a swivel to capture each and every inch of the opera house. Like you said before, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance being here. You wanted to take in each and every detail no matter how stupid you must’ve looked to the others. You followed the driver up the red plush stairs and the dignified rumble of those entering the building grew quieter and almost silent. You reached the top of the stairs and down the hall is where you saw Ei-chan. Sitting in a balcony seat so perfect that you could see the entire audience and stage without so much as a squint. Ei-chan looked at you both with a smile.

“Great!” he whispered, excitedly. “You’re right on time.”

“E-Ei-chan… y-you…” You couldn’t find any words to say. No words could even begin to explain how fast your thoughts were racing or how hard your heart was thumping.

Ei-chan turned to the driver. “That’ll be all. Thank you, Jun.”

Mr. Chie tipped his hat once more. “Of course, Mr. Tachibana. Enjoy the ballet.” and with that, he quickly turned on his heel and left. Ei-chan took your hand and guided you to your seat. The moment you sat down, you released a breath you didn’t know you’d been holding. The view before you was simply breathtaking.

“Heh. You excited for the show to start?” he asked.

Feeling the words jumble in your throat, you swiftly nodded your head. Bouncing on the tips of your feet, you sat in unbridled excitement waiting for the lush velvety curtain to rise.

—

You were in complete heaven. The lights, the dancing, the stage, the beautiful orchestral accompanied music. It was all too much to bear. And yet, you didn’t want this night to end. However, as you sat still in your chair with your eyes glued to the stage, you were blissfully unaware of the constant buzzing that came from your bag nor the rapid charging footsteps headed towards your direction.

“(Y/N)!!”

A fierce voice startled you out of your seat. You whipped your head towards the aggressive voice to see your boyfriend, Ryuu, panting and clenching his teeth. “R-Ryuu… what’re you-” You are immediately cut off by Ryuu, his voice vibrating a thousand times louder throughout the echoey theatre.

“What am I doing?! The better question is what the fuck are doing here with HIM!!!”

You stared at this person you thought was your boyfriend. Only one question was on your mind.

“What’s wrong with your hair?”

It was a deep purplish color with mixes of blue and light spots of yellow only visible from the overhead lights next to the balcony window.

“That’s not fucking important so answer the damn question!” Your boyfriend brushed aside your question, but you could see a small tint of pink on his cheeks.

“Hey, Ryuu, man, listen… Whatever you’re thinking-” Even Ei-chan was cut off by Ryuu’s icy voice.

“I didn’t ask you shit now did I?” your boyfriend growled as he yanked his best friend from his seat by his collar. What is wrong with him? You never thought you’d see the day where Ryuu would get so aggressive towards his only friend. Even Ei-chan looked surprised, though you couldn’t blame him when you saw Ryuu’s eyes. They were primal. Almost feral. You’d seen this look before in animals.

Territorial.

The tension was broken when an usher entered the balcony window. “Excuse me sir. You’re going to have to leave.” the usher said sternly. “You’re causing a disturbance amongst the other guests and ruining the performance with your shouting.” A group of security stood behind the usher, ready to take action if things go awry.

“Get the fuck-”

“We’ll leave.” you said hastily. All eyes were on you and you’d never felt so embarrassed in your life. You grabbed onto Ryuu’s arm and harshly tugged him off of Ei-chan. “It’s partially my fault that he stormed up here and caused a disturbance. I’m so sorry.” You bowed a full 90 degrees. You then turned to Ei-chan who looked at you with sorrow. “Thank you for the tickets, Ei-chan. This has been the most fun I ever had, even if it was for a little bit. I’m sorry I ruined the night like this.”

Before Ei-chan could say anything, you bowed to him as well before dragging your boyfriend out of the building with accompanying security following the way. Once you two were outside, you bowed and apologized again for the disturbance. They waved you off, saying it wasn’t your fault and that Ryuu had charged into the building while security was distracted with something else. Your boyfriend remained silent.

You walked up to Ryuu who was facing the street and staring up at the sky. You looked at the cars passing by and loudly sighed.

“You wanna tell me what that was all about?”

Ryuu didn’t say anything. You glanced at him.

“I won’t be mad. I promise. So… could you please tell me why you’ve been acting so weird lately?”

You turned your attention back to the street as Ryuu still refused to say anything. You were starting to think questioning him was hopeless until… “Is he more fun than me?” His voice was quiet and timid, the complete opposite of the bass and tone that he usually has.

“W-What?”

“D-Do you… *sniff* do you like him more than me?”

You turned to Ryuu and saw a stream of tears fall and stain his cheeks. You’ve never seen your boyfriend cry before. Not at movies, not when cutting onions. To be honest, you didn’t think he could cry. He always seems so strong and arrogant. That was a selfish move on your part.

“What? No.” you denied gently. You grabbed his arms and moved him to face you. He whipped his head towards the street in an effort to cover up his tears, but it was too late. If it wasn’t for the sniffling and hard breathing, the opera house lights shined brightly down on you and Ryuu. So much so that you could see how red his eyes really were. Like he had been crying long before he stormed into the theatre. You didn’t notice inside though, but maybe that was because the lights were too dim to notice. Whatever the case, that didn’t matter now. Ryuu was crying his eyes out and it was your job to find out why. It was obvious from that spectacle inside that Ei-chan didn’t even know.

“Of course I don’t like Ei-chan more than you. What would make you think that?” you asked softly. Ryuu didn’t answer, his sobs only getting rougher. You softly grabbed his cheek and turned it so he could face you. “Ryuu, sweetheart. I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what’s wrong and you’re not helping yourself by keeping all your feelings bottled up like this. Please. Tell me why.”

If any outsider were to see this scene they’d think it was a parent talking to their child. That’s how soft and guiding you were being.

“B-Because… Because…!” Ryuu sputtered out, his face contorting in pain. “Because it’s so fucking obvious that’s how it is!” His face turned completely red and his voice turned harsher the harder he sobbed. “I’m not fucking blind!” he screamed, thrashing his hands, but you held onto with a strong grip as you listened to Ryuu pour out everything he had been feeling these past weeks.

“You’re always together! You’re always texting each other! You’re always going out with him and forgetting all about me! You don’t text. You don’t call. I rarely hear you say so much as two words to me before you start rambling off about some shit Eiji did or where that bastard took you! And he knew what he was doing too!! Going behind my back. Taking you places. Being near you all the time! That piece of shit…! He takes you to a romantic place… A place you’ve been dying to go to ever since you were a kid! He stabbed me in the back!”

You wanted to say something, but you waited until Ryuu was done. If there’s one thing you’ve learned from your friends in their psych classes is that when people become so emotionally broken down it’s best to not be the person who’s solution-oriented. Some people want to vent and not hear solutions or ‘i told you so’s. Ryuu spoke up again, this time softer than before.

“You were always smiling when you were with him. You had so many jokes and were teasing each other so much that I felt left out of the conversation. I felt left out… of my own relationship. So I thought… sniff I thought if I…” Another broken sob choked your boyfriend from continuing. That’s when it all started to make sense.

His change in cologne. His showy difference in clothes. His hypocritical ways he feels about piercings and accessories. His animated way of speaking. The stark contrast that he forced over his original personality. His hair…

How could you be so stupid to not see it before?

“So, you changed yourself to look, sound, and even become Ei-chan. Because you thought I liked that side of him more than you.”

Ryuu gasped and his lip quivered as his knees buckled. You tightly enveloped your sobbing boyfriend as you both crumbled to the ground. You felt your own eyes start to wet at the body wracking sobs Ryuu gave out and you felt as though a marble was in your throat. This was your fault. Well, technically everyone played a role in the events that led up to tonight. It was your fault for not spending time with your own boyfriend and making him feel as though he was being cheated on. It was Ei-chan’s fault for not telling his best friend that we’d be hanging out, making him think it was okay to do so because Ryuu never said anything. It was Ryuu’s fault for not saying how he was feeling and thinking that the only way to get your attention back was to change his personality. You delicately stroked Ryuu’s back and shushed him softly.

“Ryuu, what I’m about to say might sound overwhelming, but I think you need to hear this.” You took a deep breath. It was now your turn to be truthful. “I love you.” You felt Ryuu’s breathing go still, but you continued. “I love you so much that I don’t know what to do sometimes. I fell in love with you when we first met. I know you don’t believe in love at first sight and honestly, neither did I until I met you. At first I thought I fell in love with an emotionally-stunted asshole who only cared for himself, but when we started to talk more that’s when I found out you're quite the opposite. While on the outside you’re stubborn, brash, rude, and even sometimes mean, but on the inside you care about me. You listen to what I have to say even when I think you aren’t. I only told you once that I’ve always wanted to come here and you remembered. You remember crucial details about me even when I forget them myself. Even when we fight, you always apologize to me first and you’ve never given up on me no matter how many times I’ve walked away from you. You call and text me to see if I’m alright when a big event is coming up and you always know the fastest way to cheer me up. I think if given the choice between you and Ei-chan, I’d choose you every time.”

Ryuu’s cries had gone soft, only the occasional sniffling being the only sound to come from him.

“So, never EVER think you have to change for me because the Ryuu that I love is the same Ryuu I fell in love with when I first met you. Nothing, not even when you say things you don’t mean, will ever diminish my love for you.” You pulled away and wiped Ryuu’s stained cheeks and smiled. “Got it?”

Ryuu sniffled and chuckled weakly, sadly smiling. “You’re so fucking weird…” he chuckled, his voice rough from the crying. “But, yeah… I got it… I-I love you… too… You know that right?”

You smiled and patted his head. “Yeah, I know.” You kissed his nose and laughed at the red blush on his cheeks. He let out a long sigh.

“I can’t believe I did all this shit. The clothes and jewelry I don’t mind because I actually liked some of it, but I dyed my hair this stupid color. I embarrassed you and ruined your first-time experience at the opera house you’ve always wanted to go to. I’m such an idiot…”

You smiled. “There will be other experiences. There’s a whole lot of things I’ve always wanted to do and technically, I never got to see the end of the ballet so we’ll call it a semi-first-time experience. Also,” You stroked his hair, finally seeing all the bright yellow spots and light blues mixed in with the purple, “I kinda dig the purple hair.”

“R-Really?” Ryuu blushed, stroking the back of his neck. “Come on, you don’t gotta lie to me. It looks like shit. I was actually in the middle of doing it myself when I texted you saying we should go out for dinner. But when you told me you were coming here and freaking out about what to wear, I panicked and rushed to finish and it turned out this shitty. It’s not even pink…” he complained with a pout. You giggled at how cute and vulnerable your boyfriend was being. He’d normally never even tell you that he made a mistake or that he panicked. Ahh, how fast they grow up…

“I’m not lying. Have I ever told you what my favorite scent is?”

Ryuu shook his head no.

“It’s lavender. And your hair is the most perfect shade of lavender I’ve ever seen. It also reminds me of Ube mochi or Ube ice cream. Two of my favorite sweets! Maybe that’ll be your nickname. Ube-chan! That’s adorable!”

Ryuu blushed and widened his eyes, quickly standing up and crossing his arms. “N-No way! That’s a stupid nickname and it’s even stupider why I have it. And why are you talking like I’m keeping my hair like this?!” You laughed and rose to your feet too. “It was just a suggestion, sweetheart. I was only teasing~.” you giggled as you booped his nose. “Oh…” Ryuu whispered, blushing even more causing you to laugh harder.

“But I really mean it, Ryuu. If you really wanted I could fix the areas that have bleach spots and blue mixed in or I could help strip off as much color as possible before dyeing it back.”

Ryuu quirked his eyebrow at you. “You know how to dye hair?”

You nodded. “Yup. This one time in high school I once tried to dye my hair this awesome aquamarine color I saw on Pinterest, but I totally screwed it up and it ended up this burnt orangey color.”

Ryuu laughed. “How the hell did you manage that?”

Before you could tell him you noticed something in your peripheral vision and glanced to the side. It was Ei-chan. Standing at the doorway with a sorrowful expression. You don’t know how he’s been there but judging how he was shifting from side-to-side with a guilty look on his face you’d guess he saw and heard Ryuu’s confession. You looked up at Ryuu with a smile.

“I’ll tell you…, but first, I think you two should talk.” you said pointing towards the door. Ryuu looked in the direction and a nervous and guilty look formed on his face as Ei-chan walked towards the both of you.

Before your boyfriend could explain himself, Ei-chan threw himself onto Ryuu in a giant hug. Muffled cries could be heard from Ryuu’s shoulder where Ei-chan buried his head. And again, before Ryuu could say anything, Ei-chan began to spill.

“I’m sorwy Ry-chan! I’m sho sorwy!! I didn’t mean to take (Y/N) from you! Honest! I’ll never talk to them again just please!! Don’t stop being my friend!”

Ryuu immediately hugged Ei-chan back and the tears began to spill again, including from you. All this time… Because of Eyuu’s screaming the only thing Ei-chan heard was Ryuu saying that he had stabbed him in the back and that he was taking you from him. Ryuu hushed and whispered to Ei-chan for nearly an hour that he’d never stop being friends with him over this and apologized for cursing him out and getting aggressive with him.

Needless to say that no friendships were broken that night and that night became a fond and funny memory as the years flew by. Ryuu got to experience a lot of new firsts with you and Ei-chan still remains a reliable friend to both of you to this day. Unbeknownst to you, that for your upcoming anniversary Ryuu has been saving up money to take you back to Royal 99 Opera House and continue your first-time experience. This time with your boyfriend.

.·:*¨༺ Kim Yongsun ༻¨*:·

Crowded places were not your cup of tea. It's why you often didn't go to parties or go through the city during lunch hour. It didn't bother you too much in your day-to-day as you usually found ways to avoid going to overly crowded places. You had expressed this before to Solar, for which she had been incredibly accommodating and caring. There have even been times when you've gone to a Mamamoo concert and she's let you stand backstage or had a place set up for you to watch without being in the crowd too much.

However, this time you couldn't avoid it.

You both had bought tickets to see a movie that had recently come out. Thinking that it would come out early on in the month, the tickets were booked towards the end of the month so it wouldn't be as crowded in the movie theatre.

What you hadn't realized was that the movie wasn't released on the 5th. It would be released on the 25th of that month. So instead of the peaceful environment, you both had anticipated, the theatre lobby was packed with people.

It didn't take long for everything around you to sink in. You could feel your breathing getting shaky and your vision getting blurry. You tried to reach for Solar to let her know something wasn't right with you but you couldn't find her. You might have lost her in the crowd while you were pausing to recuperate. It was only with that realization that you felt your vision fade to black and your knees give out.

When you came to, you found yourself on Solar's lap as she brushed her fingers through your hair. You couldn't help but thank her for not making it bigger than it was and call an ambulance.

"I hadn't realized that I got the release date wrong. I'm so sorry, sunshine."

"It's okay, really. I'm sorry for basically passing out and embarrassing you in front of people like that."

"Please don't worry about things like that! You had no control over that. Plus, I think they're giving us free movie tickets, so be prepared to have theatres all to ourselves."

.·:*¨༺ Moon Byulyi ༻¨*:·

Last night had not gone well for you. You ended up getting out of work much later than anticipated, to the point where you missed the last train at the station. To make it all worse, it had started raining, so you found yourself standing in the middle of the night during a downpour, calling your girlfriend to pick you up.

Thankfully, Moonbyul was able to pick you up that night and bring you back to your shared apartment. She made you a cup of hot chocolate while you took a warm bath and dried up. You both ended up going to bed soon after.

When you woke up the next morning, you felt very warm. You looked at the time and realized it was much later than you expected. You were sure Moonbyul had left for work by now. Thinking nothing of how you were feeling, you decided to get up and prepare for your morning. However, you realized that something wasn't right, as you could feel yourself getting lightheaded and feeling overall groggy.

After calling your workplace, you decided to leave Moonbyul a voicemail to let her know you weren't feeling well and not going to work. In the middle of your recording your message, you felt the phone slip out of your hand as your body fell to the floor.

When Moonbyul got your message, she immediately could tell something was wrong. You were slurring your speech, almost like you hadn't properly woken up yet, before she heard the phone fall to the floor. She called your name a few times; when she heard no response, she asked Solar if she could leave early to check on you, before practically racing through traffic to get home to you.

When she reached you, you were lying on your side on the floor, the phone now laying beside you. She knelt down beside you. It felt like ages as she sat beside you, waiting for you to wake up. As you stirred and fluttered your eyes open, she rubbed her thumb over your cheek to keep you calm.

"Hey, baby. How are you feeling?"

"I don't feel great. I think the rain from last night caught up with me today."

"I think so too. But don't worry, I'm here to take care of you. And then as soon as you're better, I'm definitely teaching you how to drive."

.·:*¨༺ Jung Wheein ༻¨*:·

You had suffered from iron deficiency since you were young. Because you'd been going through it for so long, you knew how to take care of yourself, taking the appropriate doses of iron tablets and making sure to eat the appropriate meals. However, one of the more dreadful processes you couldn't avoid was your menstrual cycle.

Often, when you get your period, you'd feel significantly fatigued and even at times dizzy. Because of that, amongst other reasons, you were thankful to find a job that was more flexible to your schedule, allowing you to work online more and work at a week-to-week basis.

When your menstrual cycle started this time, however, there was a heavier flow than normal. Your dizzy spells were much more intense and it felt like you couldn't get up.

Wheein had woken up before you did, getting ready in the bathroom. All of a sudden, she heard you yell out her name from the bedroom. She yelled back a 'good morning, sleepy', thinking you were so cute for yelling out her name so early. She hadn't realized anything was wrong until she heard her name again, quieter this time, before she heard a loud thump on the floor.

She ran into your shared bedroom and found you laying down on the floor. She lightly slapped your cheek trying to get you to wake up before realizing you had fainted. She checked the bed and noticed a red spot where you were previously laying down. As soon as she realized what happened, she ran to get a towel to place under you before laying you down on your back. She ran to the kitchen to find your iron tablet, a glass of water, and a small snack to eat. She placed those on the counter before ripping off the bedsheets and blanket from the bed to put them into the wash while she waited for you to wake up. She kept a close eye on you the entire time to make sure your situation didn't get worse or last for longer than it should.

She was grateful that it didn't take too long for you to wake up as she was starting to worry about calling an ambulance. She handed you the granola bar before urging you to take the tablets and drink water.

"I'm already soaking the sheets as we speak and I'm gonna order us breakfast in a bit."

"I'm sorry for making such a mess. I forgot that my period might start today."

"Hey puppy, it's alright. I'm here to take care of you so no need to worry. I've got you."

.·:*¨༺ Ahn Hyejin ༻¨*:

Most of the time, you tell Hwasa everything that happens in your life. With both of your busy lives, one of the ways you guys have kept such a stable and healthy relationship is by being open about everything that's going on with your lives. Even if it's been minuscule things, like how you burned toast in the toaster one morning, those small things help you stay really connected.

However, with Mamamoo's newest comeback around the corner, Hwasa was having less time available to talk to you about your days, often texting you with an "I'm so sorry, but I don't think I can come early tonight. Please don't stay up for me and get your rest." You were understanding of her situation, knowing before you started dating her that the busy idol life will come with it. So with that, you would try to stay up as late as you could before going to bed around midnight or one a.m.

Because of Hwasa's stressful schedule though, you both weren't able to talk much about what's been happening in your lives. So, instead of being able to vent it to your partner, you would bottle it up and put it to the side, ignoring it.

This albeit was unhealthy, but you didn't realize its consequences until one night. You couldn't sleep properly and thankfully you could hear Hwasa at the door. You got up to greet her, but as soon as you got to the front door where she was taking off her shoes, you could feel your legs give out, and you fall into unconsciousness.

Hwasa was so thankful to be within reaching distance to grab you as you fell. She gently lowered you down and laid you with your back on the floor. She was very worried about your health but waited for you to wake up. She grabbed water, and some cushions before placing them around you. Soon after, you woke up, blinking a few times to get your bearings before your eyes landed on her.

You asked her what happened and she explained that you fainted right as she had entered the house.

"Hey sweets, do you know why that might've happened? You don't have to tell me right now, but I was really scared for you."

"Ah, I'm not a hundred percent sure but I think it may have been stress? Work has been really hard on me lately."

"Oh, I didn't know. I'm sorry I haven't been there for you lately. I promise to do better! But you also have to promise to tell me these things. What happened at work? Who do I have to fight?"

Mamamoo "Golden Retriever"/"Black Cat" S/O

Reactions/Headcanons Masterlist

Solar/Yongsun

~Black Cat~

You and Yongsun have a unique relationship dynamic. While you enjoy each other's quiet presence, Solar tends to be more outgoing and affectionate, often seeking you out when she needs peace and quiet.

Yongsun loves to pinch your cheeks and give you her blinding smile, even though you sometimes whine at her actions. Despite this, you let her do it because she's your girlfriend and you secretly enjoy the attention.

However, if someone else were to try to pinch your cheeks or invade your personal space like she does, you would definitely react strongly, perhaps even aggressively. It's your way of showing that Yongsun's affection and playful teasing are reserved just for her.

Yongusn, understanding this, respects your boundaries and cherishes the quiet moments she shares with you.

Moonbyul

~Black Cat~

Moonbyul finds your tsundere nature endearing and enjoys teasing you about it. She loves the way you sometimes act aloof or indifferent, only to show your affection in subtle ways that she has learned to recognize.

Your cool demeanor is a refreshing contrast to Moonbyul's outgoing and greasy personality. She finds your calmness and reserved nature intriguing, appreciating the balance it brings to your relationship.

You primarily dress in black with occasional grey clothes, creating a stylish and somewhat contrasting look compared to Moonbyul's more colorful and varied wardrobe. Despite the differences in fashion choices, Moonbyul finds your style appealing and enjoys the dynamic it adds to your relationship.

Wheein

~Black Cat~

You're the listener while Wheein is the talker, which suits both of you perfectly. Despite Wheein being the talkative one, she appreciates your quiet presence and the comfort you bring into her life.

Wheein often finds you in bed asleep after coming home late from practice. She undresses and joins you, settling with her back against your front, enjoying your warmth.

You express your affection through actions, like cleaning up after her without being asked. Drawing a bath for her to help her relax after a long day of work. Simple acts of cuddling and physical closeness mean a lot to both of you.

Hwasa/Hyejin

~Golden Retriever~

Hyejin loves your bubbly personality, which contrasts with her more reserved nature. She finds your positive energy infectious and it always brightens her day.

When Hyejin comes home from practice, she's often greeted by you at the door wearing an apron, ready to give her a warm welcome with a kiss. You lead her to the kitchen where her favorite meal is prepared, making her feel loved and cared for.

Throughout the day, you shower Hyejin with constant words of affirmation, reminding her of how amazing she is and how much you love her. You also love giving her plenty of hugs and kisses, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere that she deeply appreciates.

I like groups where all the members are virtually unknown until the debut of the whole group.

Because then the members grow together, have chemistry together, and their entire group gets popular as a whole. Stray Kids had their show, but I'm pretty sure that was all of their first real appearances publicly and it was as a group. Similarly, Ateez and xikers wers introduced as KQFellaz first TOGETHER and none of them had debuted publicly before that (I use debut as in first public appearance because even pre-debut work is public and exposes them to the public). Other groups I see like this are Mamamoo, Twice, Nmixx, Seventeen, New Jeans, BTS, TXT, etc. (There are more but I can't think rn 💀)

Contrarily, there are groups that have members who already started their careers in the industry OR became public figured through shows. Examples of this are literally all groups formed by competition shows like R U Next, Boy's Planet, Produce 101, etc. In those shows, INDIVIDUAL trainees get popularity before official debut, and then the group at the end, despite varying degrees of popularity, have to debut together. It's a concept that makes sense, but in reality it creates more competition between members than there should be because some of these idols have significantly more popularity than their members right off the bat.

This is not always the case for the group RIGHT after their first official debut, but when their group disband and they redebut into another group, I think that's SO unfair and weird for the new members of those idols' new groups. It's like they're moving to a new building that they don't have to build while the new members of their new groups build that building from the ground up because they can't afford to just "move to a new building". Examples of groups like this are Iz*one->IVE, Lesserafim Zerobaseone, Kep1er and others. Don't get me wrong, these groups are great, but you can't deny that Wonyoung is leagues more popular than her members, Bahhiyih gets a tad more attention, Chaewon and Sakura are a little more popular than the others, and almost everybody knows Ricky. (As I'm writing this, I feel the need to clarify that I don't Stan any of these groups but I find that these are the members I see most when scrolling even though I don't keep up with them.) I do have to say though that leserafim is pretty good at highlighting their members (aside from maybe Kazuha? She's the member I see the least of tbh).

But anyway, I thought about all of this because of Chanelle from R U Next. Her popularity AND talent were insane, but it's a wonder why she had such a hard time on that show and was eventually voted off. I read somewhere that it was because she saw too much value in herself. SHE deserves it because she's talented and popular, and that pride caused her to react badly when things didn't go her way and a lot of people who agreed that she deserved to get what she wanted, but at the end of the day, that kind of goes to show her attitude in the face of adversity on top of the way her fans would react, and that attitude and self-importance, while not inherently wrong, is kind of detrimental to a group as a whole, so I can kind of see when she wasn't in the final lineup. Then again, I really don't know any of the members of ILLIT (the gg that debuted recently as a result of R U Next), right now, other than Wonhee from watching clips of the show.

That's why I really think humbly training as a group away from the public eye is the best way for a group to have good chemistry and support for each other. When they learn to treat each other well with nothing to gain yet, it's easier for them to do naturally when they debut and hard feelings are less common. It's not always the case, but it's something common among the groups I happen to really like. The best group dynamics come about that way, imo.

Anyway, I wish I had more time to be educated on the individual members of these groups but I have school and only so much space in my heart for the groups I already like (there are already a lot 😭😭😭), so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I'm also writing this on the train so like, not proofread at all, but I think I was coherent enough.

Imagine the camera catching Baekhyun checking you out during an award show performance

You were a member of Mamamoo, born only 3 days before Hwasa so you were joint maknaes which was hilarious considering how different you were. Hwasa was confident and cool while you were more quiet and nervous. You basically just followed Hwasa around and all your members were very supportive and caring towards you. At every award show they would always keep an eye on you and give you a big congratulations on the way home but today was a bit different...

You were in the car on your way to an after party when something disturbed your leader. "Oh my God y/n!" Solar cried in the seat in front of and you craned your neck trying to see her "yes unnie?". "Look at this video of idols reacting to your performance". You leaned forward but still couldn't see what was happening. Hwasa and Wheein could though and they squealed loudly while Moonbyul beside you in the back seat just shrugged. "Y/n he was checking you out! And so openly" Wheein cried. You frowned "who? I didn't see". "Baekhyun!" Hwasa said and you frowned "What? No" and Solar gave you the phone. You watched the video and saw him smile as you headed up on stage and then bite his lip as you turned around and walked up the stairs. The girls squealed again and Moonbyul patted you on the head "she's all grown up". "Ow come on that could've been anything I mean he was probably checking out Hwasa instead" you argued but they all denied it. "No way! Look at the camera angle, he can't even see me plus you were at the end" Hwasa retorted. You couldn't think of an argument so you just blushed, making them all cheer again. They would’ve been excited anyway but the fact you’d always admired Baekhyun and found him good looking made them practically giddy.  It wasn't long after entering the club that the girls started putting their plans into place. "Baekhyun is over there" Moonbyul told you and you shot her a look "I know". "so what are you going to do about it?" Solar asked. "Do? Absolutely nothing!" you cried. You were definitely not the type to just walk over to a boy and start flirting with him, the idea of it actually made you feel faint. "We all know you like him so why don't you just go and say hi?" Hwasa asked. You blushed "I can't just go and say hi! Who does that?". The others chuckled and Moonbyul smiled "well I know Suho through Irene so how about I go and say hi and you come with me?". Your eyes widened in panic and Solar put an arm around you protectively "hey leave her alone! She'll talk to Baekhyun if and when she's ready". "Baby" Hwasa said and then smiled at you to let you know she was joking. Hwasa, Moonbyul and Wheein all went off to say hi to people they knew and you stayed at the table. You sighed and Solar rubbed your back "it's okay". "No I feel like such a baby...". "Hey you're not" she said "you just have a different pace to the others and that's fine". You shrugged "it doesn't feel fine". Solar frowned "come on, let's get a drink" and she took you to the bar. An hour later you found yourself sat with Seventeen. You felt comfortable with the members because you'd seen them several times thanks to Wheein. Being a foreign member was hard and as much as your members were there for you they recognised it was nice to have someone to talk to. So Wheein put you in touch with Vernon who also brought Joshua into the mix as the two of you were the same age. You'd gotten along quickly and now considered Joshua a good friend. Joshua had of course seen the video too and knew you had a thing for Baekhyun, so he was onto you immediately. "So what's your plan?" Joshua asked "to hide from him all night in case you get flustered". You nodded "yep" and sipped your drink. Joshua laughed "but what's the use in that? If you want to date him you'll eventually have to talk to him". "Who says I want to date him?" you asked "dating is scary and uncertain". Vernon nodded “truer words have never been spoken”. Joshua laughed "y/n it's totally fine if you don't want to date but you shouldn't avoid it just because you're scared!". You nodded "see that's very true but also much easier said than done". "That is also true" Vernon nodded from your other side. "So true!" Hoshi cried, having heard zero of what you were discussing and you smiled as he and Joshua began to bicker playfully. Meanwhile, you were being watched. "When are you going to go and talk to y/n like you promised?" D.O. asked Baekhyun who blushed. "Well I've been trying but I can hardly go over now, she's surrounded by 13 good-looking men". All the Exo members looked over and saw you were stuck right in the middle of Seventeen. "And of course she's right beside Joshua" Baekhyun commented. Sehun frowned "but I thought they're not together?". Chanyeol nodded "they're not! I told you I asked V and he said Joshua says he's single". "But he would say that!" Baekhyun replied "he's not going to admit it". Chanyeol sighed "fine if you want confirmation" and he stood up heading right for you. Joshua was talking about Hoshi in English making the boy pout when a tall figure appeared. "Hey!" Chanyeol smiled "I just thought I'd come over and say congratulations on your latest comeback!". The members started thanking him and chatting back and Chanyeol smiled before honing in on Joshua "hey you're Joshua right?". He nodded "yep" and Chanyeol smiled "great, can I speak to you for a sec?". Joshua nodded sure and turned to you before he left "be brave" he whispered in your ear before disappearing with Chanyeol. "So what are you gonna do?" Vernon asked and you frowned "I guess I'm gonna try and be brave". Chanyeol led Joshua away from the table and shot him a smile "so I have a query I'm hoping you can help me with...see my friend is interested in you but they're not sure if you're single or not. They're obviously scared to ask you themselves so here I am". "You're a good friend" Joshua smiled and Chanyeol nodded "I am aren't I?" making the boy laugh. "So you don't have to tell me who the person is just if you’re not single or not and then I can tell my friend" Chanyeol explained. Joshua smiled "I'm not seeing anyone". Chanyeol grinned "great! My friend will be so pleased". Joshua smiled "is this friend Baekhyun by any chance?". Chanyeol paused and then quickly tried to hide it "I don't think you're quite his type". "I know that but I thought my friend y/n might be after watching that video" Joshua smirked. Chanyeol paused "y/n? She's from Mamammoo right? I don't think I've ever spoken to her". Joshua smirked "okay well you can tell Baekhyun I'm not dating her and neither is anyone else" and he walked away. Chanyeol rushed back to the table and Kai nodded "well?". "Good news y/n isn't dating anyone Joshua told me himself". "So what's the bad news?" D.O. asked. "He totally knows I was asking for you". "What!" Baekhyun cried "he's going to go tell y/n I like her". "I mean to be fair that video probably did that" Lay smiled showing Baekhyun the viral clip. Baekhyun swore "well I guess I've got to do something". "Now might be a good time" Sehun pointed out "y/n just did like 4 shots and is now heading out to dance". Baekhyun looked up and saw the maknae was right. You were no longer sandwiched between men and instead were following Solar and Hwasa out onto the dance floor. "I guess we're dancing" Baekhyun commented. You decided to do some dancing and try and at least act less self-conscious. You headed to the floor with Hwasa and Solar and Seventeen shortly followed which made you feel safe to be surrounded by so many people you knew. You weren't there long though before Hwasa leant forward and told you Baekhyun had come up to dance and was watching you. Your heart began hammering and you tried to pretend to be having a good time but you were so hyperaware of Exo coming closer. It felt like some sort of set up and you hated forced situations. What was Baekhyun gonna appear in front of you and you'd just start grinding together or something? The thought made your skin crawl so when you saw Joshua and Vernon motion drink to one another you quickly patted Vernon and asked if you could come. They could both see the panic in your eyes and nodded, Joshua leading the way while Vernon was following, holding onto you. You didn't bother with drinks and just headed outside. Meanwhile Baekhyun was confused. One minute you were there and then he saw Vernon leading you away, a grip on your arm. "So is she dating Vernon or something?" he asked and a bit too loudly because Wheein heard. Baekhyun panicked as she looked at him and made her way over. "No y/n is not dating Vernon or Joshua". He nodded "okay but reason with me. Should I follow her or leave her alone? I like her but if she doesn't like me I don't want to make her uncomfortable". Wheein shook her head "you won't make her uncomfortable, atleast not in a bad way. Y/n is just a little...cautious. She's not a fan of big loud social situations but she does like you so follow her and try talking to her". Baekhyun nodded "thank you" and went in the direction you'd disappeared in. Outside you were having a therapy session. "I was brave right?" you asked and Vernon nodded "very brave" and Joshua agreed. "It just felt so forced and obvious! Like I may as well have performed a mating dance and flapped my feathers at him" you cried and the boys laughed. "To be fair that would be hilarious and probably a little easier" Vernon admitted and you laughed. "I agree" and you began miming a bird "see isn't this so much more straight forward". The two were in fits of giggles egging you on so you carried on and of course Baekhyun walked outside at the moment you were shaking your butt like a robin. Both Vernon and Joshua stopped laughing and you froze in horror. "Baekhyun" you jumped and Joshua and Vernon were now supressing laughs. "Hi" he smiled "I'm not interrupting am i?". "Of course not we're just...". "Doing our best bird impression" Vernon explained "Joshua is next". You did smile at the glare Joshua sent Vernon but he obliged and strut around like a chicken for a bit. Baekhyun smiled "see I came out here for some fresh air but I guess if I wanna stay I have to provide an impression too?" he asked and before you could reply he started mimicking an ostrich. You were utterly surprised and amused. All night you'd been terrified of acting like a fool in front of the hot confident Baekhyun and here he was running around like a large bird. It was rather endearing and you found yourself genuinely laughing and smiling at him. When he stopped you all clapped and Vernon nodded "very nicely done". You agreed "I couldn't even tell the difference" and Baekhyun smiled at you "thanks, so how are your nights going?". You and Baekhyun made some small talk for a while and when it was clear you were happy Joshua and Vernon quickly excused themselves, heading back inside with small smiles on their faces. After they'd gone Baekhyun turned to you and hesitated. "You look really nice tonight by the way" Baekhyun said and you blushed "thanks...so do you". "My stylists are good but nowhere near as good as yours" Baekhyun replied "you literally looked like you were glowing in that red dress". You blushed "yeah they're really good, they always know how to play to my strengths". "See now that I don't believe because it implies you have some weaknesses" Baekhyun smiled. You blushed "I do" and Baekhyun shook his head "not after that performance I watched. I always admire your group because you take risks and have fun. It makes your performances so enjoyable". "Well yours are very enjoyable too" you pointed out "I watched your stage for love shot religiously last year". "Really?" Baekhun asked "what did you like about it so much". Your first thought was how good Baekhyun looked on the stage with his fitted black shirt and reddy-brown hair. You were momentarily lost remembering how good he looked before you realised where you were. You blushed and Baekhyun grinned "what's that blush for? What's got you flustered". You paused "I just realised that was the stage where you were...erm underdressed and it made me realise I sounded a bit weird". Baekhyun shook his head "not at all, it actually makes me feel good. I was excited for that reason". "You were?" you asked and he nodded "look after tonight I think it's no secret I find you attractive, the camera doesn't lie but it is a relief to hear on some level you also appreciate my looks". You were blushing a lot but hearing him call you attractive was very nice "I do, you look very good on stage and you have such a good voice...you're very impressive". "Well I think I'm more impressed with you" Baekhyun replied and you realised he had moved closer to you. "Can I kiss you?" he asked and you turned an even deeper shade of red but nodded. Baekhyun kissed you gently and it was very good. You could feel his confidence and experience but it wasn't intimidating, more encouraging. Baekhyun pulled away softly and smiled "was that okay?". You nodded and he smiled "cat got your tongue?". "I...no you're just very hot and I don't know how to act or what to say but I probably shouldn't have said that". Baekhyun laughed "why? I think you're hot too". You blushed and Baekhyun smiled "do I make you nervous?". You nodded "yeah I'm just not as social or open as you and I guess I'm a little nervous about what you want". Baekhyun paused realising you were genuinely nervous and softly took your hand. "I don't want anything from you y/n. I like you and think you're extremely beautiful but please don't feel pressured to sit with me or do anything you don't want to. Was that kiss something you felt pressured to do?". You shook your head "no I wanted to kiss you I just wasn't sure what you'd want next. I know you've dated at least 2 girls before and have more experience than me...gosh my members are gonna kill me for this. I've definitely ruined the mood". Baekhyun shook his head "not at all! I'm glad you told me you're nervous and i’m actually flattered you feel comfortable telling me" he smiled "now about me being more experienced as you put it...I've dated before but I don't think that's relevant because every time I'm around you I feel like I'm right back to being a teenager with a crush". "I make you nervous?" you asked surprised and Baekhyun smiled "of course! I've had a thing for you for ages and everyone around you loves you! Plus you're very beautiful and even the way you're looking at me makes my heart flutter". You smiled blushing and felt a little better "so I'm not the only one who feels really warm and fidgety?". Baekhyun shook his head "not at all and as for what I want...I'd really just like to go out with you or spend more time with you". You smiled "you would?". He nodded "but I'm getting the feeling this isn't your sort of place?". You smiled "what gave it away?" and he laughed "so where would you prefer? It can be anywhere". You thought and looked down "well I like the cinema". "You do?" Baekhyun asked and you nodded "It reminds me of back home and I just love getting lost in a good film and filling my face with popcorn". Baekhyun laughed "okay well how about we do dinner and a movie? You can pick the film of course". You smiled "I'd like that". Now you knew Baekhyun wasn't so scary you were just aware of how good-looking he was and all he'd said to you. You watched him and decided to be really brave. "Can I kiss you?" you asked "the last time was really good". Baekhyun's eyes widened in surprise but he grinned immediately "of course, you never have to ask y/n" and he leant in. You walked back inside with Baekhyun's hand in yours. You tried to be subtle but about half the place stopped and stared. Your members grinned as did Seventeen and Exo. Hoshi who was more than a little drunk cheered "go y/n!" and you cringed. Baekhuun laughed and leaned closer "see what I mean about people adoring you, guess I'm just another one to add to your long list" and he pressed a quick kiss to your cheek "I'll see you Friday" and he walked away to join his members. Your members and friends quickly engulfed you and threw so many questions at you. You explained what had happened and everyone was thrilled. "I'm a little hurt you're taking him to our cinema but I can get over it" Joshua smiled. You smiled "I just can't believe that just happened! I was actually honest with him and he reassured me. I think he's a really nice guy". The others smiled "I do too and were happy for you" Moonbyul smiled. "Plus I'm pretty sure he's very aware of what will happen to him if he isn't a nice guy" Solar commented. Joshua smirked "ow yeah, we've got 13 guys and 4 girls who will make his life a living hell if he dares upset you". You chuckled "maybe save the threats for if he actually does something wrong?". Solar and Joshua shrugged and you laughed. Baekhyun waved to you as he left the club and a huge smile took over your face. It didn't leave for the rest of the night and you decided the cameraman deserved a raise if it was the last thing you did.

____________

So of course this was based on that famous moment Baekhyun appeared to be checking out Hwasa as she walked upstairs and I added Seventeen in because their tied with Mamamoo for my favourite kpop group. Anytime I can add another group it will be one of those two so I hope you like them 😂

day 19: in the bath

mamamoo 1.1k words gender neutral reader insert Reader x Ahn Hyejin (Hwasa) NSFW

🖤 warnings: ...tbh this is pretty tame, i have a thing for water that maybe comes thru here idk🖤

kinktober masterlist

connect with me! / masterlist

She's a vision, haloed in the light from the parted window shades, in the warm foggy air above her bath.

You're just watching her. A not-so-secret spectator, taking in her beauty as you linger just outside the bathroom door. She knows you're home, so it's not like you're actually peeping. You're on an errand for her, actually; bath snacks are a must for your favorite lady, and you're not about to make her stop relaxing just to grab them herself.

The snacks are in your hand already, all set to deliver, but you can stand here for another moment.

She luxuriates.

She draws one pretty leg out of the bathwater, hooking it over the edge of the tub, bare to the air. Steam rises from her skin.

Her long hair is piled on top of her head, giving you a lovely view of the slope of her neck, her face in profile.

So beautiful. You can't stay away.

You go in, then, and she beams at you when you hand over the packet of potato chips. That leg goes back into the bath, so she can sit up properly and tear open the packet.

"I don't think those are gonna survive the bath," you point out.

Hyejin shrugs. "Only if I drop them in."

Which she doesn't plan to do, you know. Not her precious chips.

You see Hyejin in states of undress a lot, but this kind of full-body relaxation is truly something else.

She's always sexy, and she's always gorgeous, but when she's completely comfortable, she's transcendent. Carefree vibes aren't easy to come by, not sincerely, when someone does what she does. Eyes always on her, expectations always rising.

Here, she's just Hyejin.

In the claw-foot bath. With her chips.

"Didn't you wanna get in?" she asks you.

"I wouldn't want to disturb your nice time," you reply.

It's not self-deprecation, it's just honesty. She likes to be alone, sometimes, and that's fine. It doesn't bother you when she wants her very limited free time to be just that: her time.

But she shakes her head. "You wouldn't."

"I would have to go get unready," you muse.

She groans. "That's no fun."

You sink down to rest on your haunches beside the tub, leaning over the edge a little, just to get closer to her face. The water smells like flowers, something lightly perfumed. The steam is enticing.

"How long are you gonna stay in?" you ask.

"Forever."

You grin. "Then don't be impatient."

Hyejin pouts. She reaches out, long fingers and long nails, and takes hold of your face by the chin, squeezing so gently.

"You don't want to spend time with me?" she asks.

You know that tone.

"Of course I do," you tell her.

She rises onto her knees, carefully rolling her chip bag over and dropping it to the tile floor. She leans into you.

"Then come play with me."

Hyejin kisses you slow and sweet like honey. Detailed, attentive, like she's trying to put a spell on you. She doesn't need to, of course. You're already too far gone for her. But there she is, the dampness from her bare shoulder pressing a warm spot into your shirt, while her tongue maps out the back of your teeth.

She's like a siren, you think, deliriously. A mermaid luring you in.

When Hyejin pulls back, you bite your lip, and open your eyes. She's there, and she's beautiful.

She studies you for a second. "Is your phone in your pocket?"

"No," you tell her mindlessly.

"Good."

She throws a handful of water at you. It splatters down the front of your shirt, and you yelp in protest.

"Oh, you're already wet," she says innocently. "You might as well just get in."

You stand up. She's won. You'll just strip and join her, like she wants so desperately-

"I said, get in."

Those long pretty fingers wrap around your forearm, before you can react, and one good strong tug has you tripping over yourself and falling into the tub.

You catch yourself on one leg and one arm, luckily avoiding all your important bits (teeth...nose...) smashing into the side of the tub. It isn't very sexy, considering you're still clothed and now extremely waterlogged, but most of you is in the tub. Water sloshes out onto the floor from the impact.

"There," Hyejin says, satisfied.

She really has won, now.

You can't even be annoyed about it. You would have gotten in, anyway, but this is kind of more fun.

"I'm still dressed and everything," you tease. "How is that any help for you?"

"Oh, now, I get to take it all off," she grins.

Taking off a very warm, very wet t-shirt is also not very sexy, but Hyejin seems to enjoy the game of it nonetheless. She's laughing as she peels the long sleeves down your arms and throws the whole wet mess across the room.

Your comfortable shorts are easier to get off, but they're also heavy with all that absorbed water. Hyejin wrings them out before she throws those, too.

When you're as bare as she is, just warm skin in the steamy water, sending relief into your muscles and a pleasant tingle up your spine, Hyejin arranges you like her own little doll. She gets you sitting flat on the bottom of the tub, and she plants herself right in your lap.

"What did I say?" you chastise. "Impatient."

"I am," she nods.

"You're lucky you're cute."

"I always get what I want, don't I?" she replies.

Her gaze is so sultry. It's not the same as the face she sells, with her pristine makeup and strong aura. It's much more quietly assured. The confidence of knowing exactly how short of a leash she's got you on. Assurance of how much you adore her.

And you do, of course. You adore her.

"You do," you say. "How could I ever say no to you?"

You pinch the side of her leg playfully, making her jump and slosh yet more water over the lip of the tub.

The overflow valve really doesn't work in this thing. Inconvenient. That's what it's for, dammit. Save you from cleaning up messes like this. You'll have to look at that later.

Your home improvement thoughts are immediately derailed when Hyejin grinds down on your lap and trails her hands up your shoulders to meet at the nape of your neck, holding you close.

"I want something else, now," she says, voice low.

Impulsively, you reach for the oversized scrunchie keeping her hair in place. "Can I?"

Her quick nod has you unwrapping the hair accessory, letting her sleek coppery hair fall in waves around her shoulders.

The damp ends of her hair sticking to her skin, to yours, the hungry look in her eyes...

She just might be a siren. Ready to eat you alive.

Hiyori Tomoe x Gender Neutral Reader (Angst Drabble) ✦

Word Count: 677

Highly recommend listening to Where Are We Now by Mamamoo for best experience

     He never loved you, it was just for the fans, for publicity, for Eden to hopefully triumph over Knights and fine. You knew you’d be hurt, you knew you’d inevitably fall for him, you knew you’d be a moron to even step into this “relationship”, but maybe he’d change his mind, maybe he’ll see your worth, maybe, just maybe, he’ll love you back. But he never did. 

     You saw it, yet you acted blind. His “casual” flirting with the fans. He says its just being friendly, just being nice, he is an idol right? If he doesn’t do it, how will the fans react to Eden? You agreed, you believed him, when deep down you knew, he never cared for how you feel. When will you stop and care for yourself? Where do you draw the line? You saw how he looked at his fans, he can’t even look at you that way. Why won’t he? You ask but you knew, he doesn’t love you. 

     How many tears does it take for you to end it? Would you rather live in this lie that he cares, or will you finally free yourself from this hell you’ve created? You wanted to stay, even if he makes you cry. He never hugged you, never held your hand, never looked at you in the eye. And yet you hoped that he really did cherish you, appreciated who you were. To the point of being delusional, but maybe, please maybe, maybe he loves you.

     But fate had to show it to you, him with a fan being awfully close to him, a touch you never experienced, a hug you never felt, a kiss you never got. You can’t keep being blind, when he’s doing this in front of you. He even took a while to notice you catching him in the act. “Hm..? Ah- My apple- Hey wait-..!” You couldn’t look at him anymore, you ran away, as fast as you could, tears blurring your vision but you didn’t care, you had to go, you had to leave, you had to get away. 

     You were outside now, rain pouring as hard as you bawled your eyes out, you knew this was coming, and yet you hoped and hoped and hoped only for him to crush it again and again. “My sweet apple please let’s go back..” He talks as if he did nothing wrong. “Go back? Go back to where?! You ruined my life Hiyori! You ruined everything!” “Please let’s talk about this..” “Talk about what? About how you blatantly cheated on me? How you disregarded this relationship and threw it in the trash? For fuck’s sake Hiyori, I have feelings, and you can’t fucking trample all over them just because it can make you popular.” Hiyori came closer trying to hold your hand. “My dear apple please-”, red was the only thing you could see, and before you knew if, you slapped his hand away from you. “Don’t ever call me that again Hiyori, and don’t ever show your face again, we’re done. We’re over." You stormed off, tears still streaming down your face as he stood there. Maybe you didn’t notice how he looked so hurt, maybe the rage blinded you that his pain didn’t matter anymore, perhaps the rain hid the tears staining his cheeks. But he only stood there, he deserved it didn’t he? How could he excuse his actions, when he was too late to realize that the temporary love he thought of was something he wanted forever? 

     It’s been a year now, you were in your apartment, making coffee. Eden’s on the screen, an interview about their new song, seeing Hiyori isn’t so bad now, it still stings, but its better than before, you learned to heal from what happened. You couldn’t help but wonder though, Hiyori’s changed ever since, the genuine smile wasn’t there anymore, he became more private and hidden, and he seemed to have lost the sparkle in his eyes, but maybe you’re just imagining it, because he never loved you right?

Build Up Recap Episode 2: Beautiful (orig. Crush)

Welcome back to another recap in my Build Up recap series! In the previous one, I covered Decalcomanie, a song originally performed by Mamamoo. In this one, I finally bring the Pre4 mission to an end with the performance of Beautiful, originally by Crush. Let���s go!

I found a youtube clip of this part, if you’d like to watch. 

Once the judges have stopped laughing at poor Suhwan for his jacket, Dahee announces the next team, which is the final team -- team Beautiful. Backstage, all the guys react -- they all love this song.

The song itself might be familiar to you if you watched the drama “Guardian,” also known as “Goblin.” (I know everyone loved it, but I found it… weird.) It was sung by Crush, who you might remember from the song Rush Hour. 

And here to sing it are Taewoo, Kim Minseo, Jeong Yunseo and Lim Sanghyun.

Taewoo introduces himself by saying, “I’m in charge of the unique voice. I’m managing a startup while I sing. I’m singer-songwriter Taewoo.” Jaehwan on the judging panel says, “Ah, a CEO!” 

Minseo says, “I’m in charge of powerful voice. A Dex lookalike.” The judges decide he really does look like Dex.

Yeonseo introduces himself as an all-rounder, a “hexagon vocalist.” (Basically, “hexagon” is slang for saying you’re multi-talented.) He says he’s a trainee at Mystic Story. Mystic Story manages Lucy (a boy-band) and Billlie (a girl group).

Sangyhun didn’t get the sweater memo; he’s going blazer. He quietly introduces himself by saying, “I’m in charge of soul and sweet voice, singer-songwriter Lim Sanghyun.” And we find out that Sanghyun helped produce Jaehwan’s fourth mini-album! That’s cool. We stan a talented king. 

I found a different Youtube clip of this part. 

The judges point out that two of them are trainees, and ask if they’re nervous. 

Yunseo confidently says he’s not nervous, and we go into a flashback. 

Minseo, at a pre-production meeting -- it must have been a while back, since his hair is like an inch shorter -- says that he’s been a trainee for 4 years.

He mentions that he trained with Ricky, Gyuvin, Yujin, and Zhang Hao from Boys Planet/Zerobase1, so I guess he was/is at Yuehua. He couldn’t help but feel al little jealous and frustrated that they had that “dreamy opportunity.” I get it -- that’s normal, I think.

We hop to the guys at their first meeting, starting to distribute the parts. Yeonseo is getting a lot of compliments from the hyungs, and says he’s good at adding harmony. He seems confident about adding ideas, so Minseo starts to feel a bit intimidated.  He says he’s never really done harmony. Really? After four years? What have you been working on, lovey? 

Sanghyun takes on the role of helpful hyung to Minseo. Minseo tries the harmony with some of the others, and they let him try the ending, helping to build up his confidence. 

So, how will the trainees do? 

Link to the version without reactions

My thoughts:

This performance is squarely in my “really really good, for some reason not super-star” tier. A+, just not quite S.  But it was still A+! 

I think part of it is that Lim Sanghyun and Taewoo have incompatible voices, so changing from one to the other line to line made them both sound worse. 

Lim Sanghyun led off with a lovely, soft gruff tone that I actually had to turn my volume up to hear. It was very sweet and gentle, almost like a whisper, but still tuneful, which isn’t easy to do. He also brought the song to a lovely finish with his tone. I think I’d rather just hear him sing a song all the way through, just him singing, because I’m not sure his voice blended with any of the other voices here. But I did really like his voice on its own. 

Taewoo has what I’ll call a YG voice. It would not be out of place singing a Big Bang song, with his specific, sharp nasal vocal color and swaggy affectations. It’s quite lovable in its way. It doesn’t sound great back to back with Sanghyun’s voice, unfortunately, but if he were singing a verse from Fantastic Baby I’d be into it. He lets notes kind of flop down instead of holding them, he sort of swoops on some notes, that kind of thing. He doesn’t seem to prioritize pitch, though he can definitely hit the right notes when he is harmonizing. He was so sweet and encouraging to Minseo during their harmony portion, so it’s a bummer that I have to say that among these four, his performance was my least favorite. He does have my favorite sweater, though.  

Going from their teasers, Minseo had my favorite voice among these four, but I think his lack of experience showed here. I really, really liked his teaser performance of Rolling in the Deep by Adele (V39), and said that he has a distinct, real voice that shows some training but also some rough edges. But here he was soooo nervous. It really showed. I can’t blame him -- I think I’d probably pass out if I had to sing in front of Baekho and Solar. But his nerves made him short of breath, and he couldn’t properly support some of his high notes and had to go into falsetto. He also was going way too fast. In a later third of the performance, he seemed to struggle with agility, pausing on a sort of odd note in a vocal run. (Maybe that’s what it was supposed to sound like? I admit I don’t know the song perfectly.) He still sounded beautiful, despite those slight problems, and I think that was mostly nerves. 

Yeonso was a bit of a mystery going into this performance, since his teaser track had such heavy backup vocals that I couldn’t really be sure what was live. In this performance, he did a good job and had a lot of power. He has a very clean voice, if a bit thin, with good power and breath support, and I think “all-round” describes him well since I think his voice could jive with anyone’s. Except I guess Taewoo’s. I guess that compared to the more interesting voices of the other three, he fades out a little. Also, I basically couldn’t get a shot of him with his eyes open, because they were closed 90% of the time when he was singing. Open your eyes, guys! I'll give you a prize. I'm telling no lies! Just open your eyes.

The harmonies sounded great and I wished there were a few more of them. 

I’m not really sure who I’d pick as top tier. Each had a lot of pros and a few cons. Part of me wants to say Minseo since I just like his voice best, but then I think Sanghyun is the one I walked away wanting to hear a whole song from… so maybe Sanghyun.

The MNET edit makes it clear how much everyone likes Sanghyun’s  sweet voice, but they also like Taewoo’s -- they call it “chic”, which I think is fair. Maybe that’s kind of what I meant by saying it was a YG voice. They like the two trainees’ voices too, and they should, they’re good singers. 

And as the song draws to a close, the translations do too. I looked and looked on Youtube for a clip of this section, but couldn’t find it, so thanks, Youtube. Thootube. At least google-translate-camera is always here for us. 

Jaehwan says, “This team is awesome!”  They get a “barrage of applause” and Gwangseok backstage says they did great. Everyone agrees that the ending was great, and they were very stable.

Random members of the groups were missing. I think while the performances were going on, they may have been being photographed for their official photos, in another room. 

Dahee tells Baekho that should could tell from his facial expressions how much he enjoyed the performance. He agrees. 

Baekho enjoying the singing. I think. I guess? 

Baekho says, “The charm of each voice is different. Each time the part changed, the joy was incredible.” I get what he’s saying, though that wasn’t quite my experience here. (fun fact: google translate calls Baekho “White tiger judge,” which I love.)  Sanghyun caught his attention with the intro. Backstage, Woong and Wumuti agree. 

VCG says, “In the beginning, that ooh yeah part, that’s really difficult.” Jaehwan agrees, adding, “Right, because once that first note goes out, it’s over.” VCG goes on to to compliment Sanghyun’s precise pitch -- he was eating CDs, y’all. “I can hear all of your efforts,” he says, “and I bought into the song because of you.”

Solar speaks to Taewoo, complimenting his “unique technique and tone. It suited this song very well.”

As she compliments him, Taewoo closes his eyes in relief. He looks a tiny bit like he might cry.  Aww! Taewoo is lovable, I find. Well, I think most of these guys are. Anyone who wants to be a singer is somehow lovable to me.

She tells them all they did a great job -- it was a beautiful stage. 

VCG takes some time to call out the two trainees, that he had low expectations but he was wrong because they did well. No mention of Minseo rushing the beat -- I guess they only yell at Bitsaeon for that. Regardless, the praise well deserved. They say thank you and bow. 

White Tiger Judge (Baekho) adds that Minseo’s pronunciation is so cool, which is extra funny if you remember how hard of a time Minseo had with the English word “underestimate” in his teaser. (I’m not really making fun of him -- foreign languages are hard, and the rest of his pronunciation was so good that it really emphasized that one mistake.) 

Both Baekho and VCG also heap more praise on Yunseo, telling him his voice is “pretty and precious.” 

Overall, the team suited the song, and it was all beautiful. But now they have to pick a top tier. Who will it be? 

Baekho, Eunkwang, and Jaehwan vote for Lim Sanghyun. Solar votes for Taewoo, and VCG votes for Jeong Yunseo. So Sanghyun wins!

Sanhyun says he really didn’t expect it. He says his team talked about it and decided it didn’t matter who was top tier -- they just wanted to create a beautiful stage. He says he feels like he was chosen as the top tier because of his teammates, and he thanks them sincerely. 

Aww, that’s some nice team building you got going there! It’d be a shame if someone were to come along and.... fuck that all up!

Dahee says that Sanghyun had told her/the producers/someone that he wasn’t sure if he’d continue with music or not, so she thanks the judges, saying she hopes it will encourage him to continue. Jaehwan is like, hey, we worked together not that long ago! What do you mean, you were thinking of quitting music? Everyone laughs.

Sanghyun says that he really loves music and wants to continue making it. (The subtitles come back, thank god!) He just wasn’t sure if he’d be able to make it as a singer, as opposed to a behind-the-scenes person. So Build Up is a good opportunity for him. 

Beautiful team leaves the stage, and the judges say that even though they gave the standing ovation to the Don’t Go, Don’t Go team, Solar says she liked this team better. The judges all tease each other for not giving this team a standing ovation too.

And since that’s the end of the performances, I think I’ll wrap up this post here. In the next one, I’ll do a brief wrap up of the pre4 mission, then later on I'll cover the whole top tier, middle tier, low tier stuff, you know, the part where they fuck up all the team building, and that will take us into episode 3. See you then! 

[purpleyoonn]

Okay so hehehehe what if in the line between love and war, the mc starts liking another group like mamamoo, twice or straykids and actually meets them while she's with the boys and becomes very excited and starts a conversion with them. How would the boys react?? My brain just loves some possessiveness sorry mari 😔

Okay so I kind of already have like a scene planned out like that! Basically bts isn’t the only kpop group that the mc biases, and the conversation comes up a couple times but like, it won’t actually hit them until it’s like award season and she meets a group and absolutely goes into fangirl mode, asking one of the boys if they can introduce her or if she’s allowed to say hi (bcuz yknow award show rules and shit) and they get jealous. I’m talking clenched hands, jungkooks tongue in cheek thing, joons clenched jaw the whole shabang. Jimin gets clingy and Jin gets pouty but yoongi gets like “no stay with me, I’m cold” as he pulls her into his lap, placing kisses and nips to her neck to remind her who she belongs to all whilst looking at said group and narrowing his eyes. Hobi just outright glares in his dance teacher mode.

Taehyung…well, be just smirks and smiles. He knows that mc knows she belongs to them. He doesn’t need to remind her when he’s the one she cuddles next to that night.

[INTERVIEW] MAMAMOO Talks Excitement for Their First American Tour and Meeting Their U.S. Moomoo

MAMAMOO are some of the fastest-growing stars in K-pop, and in less than a week, the sensations are set to make their American debut on the U.S. leg of their first-ever World Tour, "MY CON."

The quartet recently returned from a sold-out Asia World Tour across Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, but the magic is only getting started. The nine-date U.S. tour kicks off on May 16 in New York City before wrapping up on the other side of the country in Los Angeles on June 4, and it seems the four are just as excited to come to the States and meet their U.S. Moomoo fandom as we are to see them. Ahead of the tour, we got the chance to chat with the icons about the tour and what it means to them to be coming to America. Read the full interview below.

Sweety High: What does the name "MY CON" mean to the group? Why did that feel like the perfect name for this tour?

MAMAMOO: "MY CON" is where Mamamoo and Moomoo become one, so it truly means it's everyone's concert. It allows us to cherish the precious moments when we get together with our dear Moomoo.

SH: How excited are you to tour in the U.S. for the very first time?

SOLAR: I'm very anxious but also excited. I recently heard that our pre-sale tickets were sold out. It made me feel apologetic to all the Moomoo who have waited for so long, and it also got me determined to put my all into this tour. I'm also curious about what the U.S. Moomoo will be like, how they will react and how they will enjoy our stage. I'm honestly looking forward to everything.

HWA SA: I'm so nervous wondering what the U.S. Moomoo will be like. In general, just thinking about the tour gives me butterflies.

SH: Are there any songs that you're most looking forward to performing for your American audience?

MOON BYUL: Honestly, I would love to show every stage possible. We haven't performed much for U.S. Moomoo so far, so we'd love to show them everything we have.

WHEE IN: I would love to show as much as we can. But if I had to choose, I would like to perform our title songs since they're fun songs we can all dance to.

SH: Is there a specific type of energy you're anticipating from American MooMoos that might be different from your fans elsewhere?

SOLAR: I'm really looking forward to how fun it'll be, bonding with U.S. Moomoo through our performances.

SH: Is there one American city you're most excited to visit? Is there anything big outside of your performances that you plan to do while you're in the U.S.?

WHEE IN: It's so difficult to choose, and truly, every city is a place I've been longing to visit. Besides performing, I'd love to enjoy the scenery and take some nice, quiet walks around the neighborhood!

HWA SA: I'm looking forward to L.A., and I'm curious about Las Vegas as well. But honestly, I would love to visit any city.

SH: Is there anything else you'd like to add?

SOLAR: Thank you for waiting! Hey Moomoo legggggggo❤

MOON BYUL: As we're finally keeping our promise—that we'll go wherever our Moomoo are—we are so happy and excited to go on this tour! Let's make lots of wonderful memories!

WHEE IN: It's been a long time since our last visit to the States. Thank you so much for waiting and for your sustained anticipation.

HWA SA: Since this is our first tour in the States, we were all very nervous and even slightly worried about Moomoo turnout. But now, we're just purely excited, and we'll be there super soon!
