you shouldn’t have been surprised when his lips found purchase on your neck the moment he felt you stir awake. his hands on your hips, rubbing across your stomach and pulling you flush against his hard member.

last night, drunkenly, he had asked (and you thought he was joking) if he could hit it in the morning. you assumed he was singing the song, teasing you mostly, but you had said yes in your drunken state. in all honesty, neither of you were that drunk, and your saying yes was mostly because you don’t give a shit where or when he fucks you, as long as he does it right and often.

“min,” you murmur, voice laced heavily with sleep. minseok slides a hand underneath your shirt, fingers splaying across your stomach and toying with the tie on your sleep shorts. “i have work.” you say, but it’s like placing a stop sign on a highway the way he doesn’t budge.

“i know,” he mumbles, pressing himself into you. “you told me i could hit it in the morning.” minseok nearly whines when he says it, his mouth by your ear. all you can do is chuckle softly, mildly shocked at his upfront-ness. he kisses underneath your earlobe and goosebumps arise on your skin.

“did i?” you ask rhetorically, moving your head to give him more skin to kiss. “i’m gonna be late.” your complaint falls on deaf ears, your boyfriend slipping his hand underneath your sleep shorts. you can’t help but open your legs wider for him.

minseok removes himself from behind you and crawls on top of you, quickly capturing your lips in a heated kiss. it’s not long before he’s kissing down your neck and shoving your shirt up to rub his hands over your skin. “min,” you say, threading your fingers through his hair, urging him to keep kissing and touching you, though he really shouldn’t if you want to make it to work on time.

“what?” he asks, cutting his eyes to the clock on your bedside table. “at least let me eat it.” he says, already sliding between your legs. you look down at him, lip caught between your teeth. his eyes are pleading, if his fingers digging into the soft skin near your core wasn’t enough indication that he’s starving for it, you don’t know what was.

“if you’re quick,” you say, running a hand through his hair. he quickly tugs at your bottoms and you help him take them off. minseok lowers himself to your exposed core and kisses your clit like the sweetheart that he is. he drags his tongue up your slit experimentally, paying attention to the way you suck in a sharp breath and tense up.

minseok eases your legs open when you try to close them around his head, resting his palms on the inside of your thighs and applying pressure so you don’t move. he makes out with your core, for lack of better imagery, taking his time with you as he sucks on your nub and pokes his tongue into your hole. you cry out his name and throw an arm across your eyes, your back arching off of the bed. “fuck!” you sputter, mouth falling open as you let out moans and whimpers.

he rubs your clit with his fingers when he pokes his tongue in your hole, your legs starting to shake when the pleasure gets to be too much. minseok like when you get like this, when he drives you over the edge and overstimulates you until you can barely talk or think straight. he relishes in seeing your legs shake because he knows he’s doing his job right every time. “you’re close, huh?” he mumbles against you, looking up at you with wide eyes.

“yes!” you whine, drawing him closer by wrapping your legs around his shoulders and holding his face to your core. minseok groans and grinds himself down into the mistress, wanting to be trapped by you in another way. “fuckfuckfuckfuck!” you chant when he starts sucking and licking at you without mercy. he slurps you up like soup, quickly getting you to orgasm all over his face and the bedding.

minseok unhooks your legs from around his head and kisses the inside of your thigh. your eyes flutter open and you sit up to look at him over the rapid rise and fall of your chest. “min,” you say, curling a finger and beckoning him to you. he crawls up your body, kissing your stomach and then kissing you lips, spreading your arousal on your lips. you don’t mind, not right now when you need him lecherously.

your hands quickly work to pull down his sweats, and your start to turn your body around so you can get on all fours, but he stops you. “i wanna see your pretty face,” minseok grouches, gently pulling at your waist to flip you onto your back. “better.” he kisses your neck softly and hooks one of your legs onto his shoulders, checking with you to make sure it’s comfortable before lining himself up with your entrance.

work is lost on you, the time long forgotten the moment he sheathes himself inside of you, burying himself to the hilt and slowly rocking himself inside of you. you cry out his name and hold onto his shoulders, your acrylics creating shallow indents in his skin. “ah, fuck, y/n,” minseok moans, his eyes squeezing shit.

you slide one of your hands into his hair and tug at his roots, your chest arching into his as his thrusts speed up. “minseok, baby, please!” you whimper. what you’re begging for, you don’t know. he’s stretching you wide and hitting it so deep that your brain can’t fully process how you’re feeling. “min!”

“i-i’m right here,” he pants, kissing your jaw. “do you want me to stop?”

“no!” your tone takes on one of offense and you harshly pull at his hair, making him hiss at the action. you gasp when he lifts his chest up and plants his right hand by the side of your head while the left holds your thigh against his shoulder. “oh, m-minseok!” you mewl, your mouth falling open as you look look down at where you two connect.

“so beautiful,” he praises, his voice breathless. “and so tight. always s-so tight a-and pretty for me. i-i could stay here a-all day.” he stammers, pulling his bottom lip in between his teeth and hanging his head as his thrusts start to become less rhythmic.

“i love you,” you choke out, putting a hand on his cheek. minseok turns his head and kisses your palm, mumbling an ‘i love you too’ into your hand. you buck your hips when a knot forms in your core, tightening as he keeps up with his strokes despite being near his own release. “min! i-i’m gonna come!” you gasp out and throw your head back onto the pillows.

eyes rolling back into your head, your body convulses as your orgasm takes over. you squirt onto the bed sheets and onto his bare abdomen, calling out his name as he stills momentarily before releasing inside of you. minseok pants removes your leg from his shoulder and collapses next to you, his arm slinging across your abdomen.

minseok lifts his head to glance at the clock and lets out a chuckle. “fast enough for you?” he mutters, rolling onto his back and covering himself with the bed sheets. you lean over him to check the time and nod.

“perfect,” you mumble, kissing his lips with more passion than necessary, especially since you’re cutting it close to being late for work.

“babe,” minseok whines when you pull the sheets back and crawl on top of him and settle your bare core over his lap. surely your boss could handle you being a few minutes late, just this once.

[decantingstxrs]

a loud smack rings through the room as his hand makes contact with your bare ass. you bite down hard on your lip to suppress a moan. something about hearing and feeling his hand on you was enough to get you wetter than a river.

“count.”

“o-one.”

“good girl.” he says before spanking you again. and again.

[dilxcc]

Boyfriend Xiumin pleaseee 🙈🙈🙈

boyfriend!minseok headcanon

okay but like, you'd be lucky to date him

why, you're asking me?

he cook, keeps the house clean and does almost everything that you barely had anything to do around the house.

we all know how active he is these days.

so when he gets home, seeing how messy the house is, he will nag at you while cleaning the house

i think he loves it if you clean the house with him

he's a clean freak 🙁

ALSOOO I THINK WITH HIM IT WOULD BE LIKE, he's there with you but both of you are doing your own things (just having him around is nice. the same goes to him)

would buy you a nice gift out of nowhere

though im sorry to say, eris might be his top priority while you're the second 😔

dates with him are probably fun

he would laugh at almost every joke you make (lies. he laughed at every joke)

he's very easy to amuse

even if you suddenly came up with a silly idea to surprise him, he would laugh first before saying thank you for the surprise

i feel like if he thinks you're the one, he would go for a ring hunt

and then probably a nice candlelight dinner before popping the question

i think he might be like jongdae and would tell his fans that he's dating

ooh and also he's 50/50 pda

might be clingy to you if he's in the mood

might not but still hold your hand

not to forget that he's like most asian moms ever

will nag and scold you to the point you thought you were dating your mom

when sleeping, i feel like he likes it better if he has his own space (no cuddles or stuff like that)

he might indulge in cuddling you sometimes though

please get married soon

𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍

𝐊𝐈𝐌 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐎𝐊 / 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑

in a world where guardians remained concealed from human eyes, minseok found himself at the heart of a cosmic shift when you, a reluctant demon, were forced to follow the new rules of the astral realm, which led to you coming in direct contact with your human. but, you weren't the only one with powers; minseok had somehow managed to chip away at your icy demeanour with ease.

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐄: guardian au, fluff

𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓: 7.6k

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: alcohol consumption, kissing, minor mentions of death

𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆: teen

BEFORE ANYONE COMES AT MY HEAD i originally wrote this last year as a secret santa gift but i deleted my account so i'm slowly reposting all my old stories. if you've read it before and it seems a little bit different, it's because i rewrote it to fit my current writing style, but the story ends exactly the same as it did before. if this is your first time reading it, hiiiii i hope you like it &lt;3

Minseok’s eyes stirred beneath his eyelids, the gentle caress of the morning sun coaxing him awake. As much as he tried to cling to the remnants of sleep, he just couldn’t fight it off much longer. His eyes fluttered open, and he found himself gazing at the ceiling, his voice a mumbled whisper, oblivious to the presence in the room.

Since midnight, you’d been silently watching him, waiting for the moment he woke up so you could step out of the shadows and introduce yourself. It was a new rule imposed by the astral realm, an attempt to strengthen the bond between humanity and astral beings. However, you preferred the old way – the anonymity of helping from the background. The new rule didn’t entirely change that, so you begrudgingly accepted it.

Slowly, you channelled your energy into materialising before him. As expected, his mouth opened in a silent scream, terror etched across his face. You sighed; humans were so predictable.

“Sorry, I just hate unnecessary noise. I hope you understand,” you said, your insincerity thinly veiled.

“Who the hell are you? Are you doing this?” he mouthed, his voice still imprisoned, yet the terror and slight anger were very much felt by you.

“Your guardian demon, and yes,” you responded. Simultaneously, you unleashed enough energy to make your eyes glow, further evidence that you weren’t just an intruder who broke into his home. “And no, I’m not from hell,” you added, already foreseeing the inevitable question.

You restored his voice, observing as the panic in his eyes gradually shifted into confusion. A million questions brewed within him, and despite your eagerness to leave, you were open to answering a few of them.

“Are you sure you don’t mean angel? Guardian angel?” he asked cautiously.

You might have taken offence to his question had it not been for the familiarity of it all. Humans, you learned, instinctively recoiled at the mere mention of the word ‘demon,’ their minds clouded by preconceived notions. Still, you hoped for just one person to recognise the ‘guardian; aspect of your title.

“If I meant angel, I would’ve said it,” you responded dryly. “There’s a shortage of active guardian angels. Most of them retired because they can’t handle the burden of constant moral purity. It takes a saint to secure an angel these days, but I’d say you’re very close to it.”

Your knowledge was meticulous; you had been presented with a biography of sorts, outlining the key facet’s about your human’s existence. His biggest offence appeared to be his casual alcohol consumption, which you didn’t think was a major issue; just stupidity. Regardless, whether you were an angel or demon, your goal was clear – protect him. How you went about it, however, differed from the angelic approach.

His brows arched, a flurry of questions battling in his mind. Though, you couldn’t peer into his thoughts, you knew exactly what question he wanted to know the answer to most of all: ‘What the hell is happening?’

But, you wouldn’t answer it, because it was take too long to explain why humans were so self-destructive that they couldn’t navigate existence alone, and why astral beings, like ethereal lifeguards, were compelled to rescue them from their own abyss of recklessness. It was all too intricate to unravel in a few minutes.

“This is… so overwhelming,” he murmured.

“You’ll get used to it,” you assured him. “You won’t be seeing much of me anyway,” you mentioned, thought you purposely left out that only he wouldn’t be able to see you, and that you’d be with him every second of every day. You’d learned to keep that detail to yourself after seeing how unsettled your last human became at the thought of being constantly monitored.

“When can I see you?” he asked.

“Fascinating,” you hummed. “Just a moment ago, you were terrified. Now you want to know when you can see me.”

A blush tinted his cheeks, his words stumbling as he tried to clear up the misunderstanding. “N-No, it’s just… curiosity, that’s all. I’m not trying to— I mean, you’re very pre—”

“Calm down; I’m joking,” you interrupted, shaking your head. Humans were so easily flustered; it was almost comical. “You’ll see me if I decide to use enough energy to show up.”

“Ah, alright,” he nodded. “Can anyone else see you, or is it just me?”

“Just you,” you confirmed. While you could, theoretically, reveal yourself to everyone, it would take a significant toll on your energy, and you would only be visible for a fleeting moment. “I assume you don’t have any more questions, right?”

“Well, actually—”

“Great, then I’ll leave. I use so much energy to be here, and I appreciate your consideration in saving your questions for later. Goodbye!”

With that, you vanished, at least to his perception. You watched him cycle through a spectrum of emotions, trying to wrap his head around what had just happened before he finally abandoned his questions and rolled out of bed.

Minseok led an uneventful existence, something that worked well for you. One of your past humans had perpetually kept you on edge, courting danger with every reckless choice. Minseok, however, gave you the opportunity to do nothing but observe – his meticulous cleaning, cooking, his commitment to physical fitness, and his occasional meetings with his friends.

It was only two weeks later that you found yourself anxiously monitoring him as he walked around his friend’s house, where you watched him consume drink after drink, almost robotically. As the night went on, their recklessness escalated, and your heart plummeted on multiple occasions, fearing that you would have to intervene. But, Minseok managed to stop himself from going too far each time. Still, every movement sent anxiety coursing through your veins.

Yet, somehow, you managed to find endearment in his drunken laughter.

His giggles had a melodic quality, a contagious joy that infected everyone around him; even you. Despite your unease, you couldn’t help but smile whenever he did, regardless of how unfunny the joke was. There was something irresistible about his sparkling eyes and infectious laughter that tugged at your heart.

However, by the time he got home, all his laughter turned into groans as the consequences of his excessive drinking took root. He collapsed onto his bed, silently begging his vision to stabilise, each deep breath a defence against the impending nausea. All you could do was shake your head.

“Put me out of my misery,” he pleaded, and you sensed that it was directed at you.

So, you showed up at the foot of his bed, heaving a disapproving sigh. “I can’t help you. You knew what would happen if you drank as much as you did. This isn’t your first time, and it definitely won’t be your last.”

“It will,” he asserted, covering his face before groaning into his palms. “I swear, I’m never drinking again,” he vowed, though even he understood the hollowness of his promise.

“Minseok,” you sighed. “Let’s be realistic.”

An unusual silence settled between you, Minseok removing his hands from his face, his gaze fixed on the ceiling as a faint smile danced on his lips. “You called my name,” he said softly.

You narrowed your eyes, your glare directed at him. “I did. So?”

“I… don’t know,” he sighed. “I just realised that I don’t know your name. Do you even have a name?”

“My name isn’t important,” you replied. “I’m here solely to protect you.”

“That’s not fair; you know my name,” he protested, lips forming a pout. You couldn’t suppress a faint twitch at the corners of your lips, which quickly dissipated as if it were a muscle spasm.

“If I had a choice, I wouldn’t bother learning it.”

“You’re lying,” he said, a smile gracing his lips. “It’s cute when you do that.”

A strange sensation tugged at you, a knot unravelling deep within your chest. You took in two deep breaths, attempting to banish the feeling before you spoke again. Your voice, usually brimming with confidence, faltered.

“You can’t even see me,” you said, your words bearing a vulnerability your hardly showed. “Just… lie on your side,” you instructed.

“Why? Is it because you want me to look at you?” he asked.

“No, you absolute idiot,” you retorted, a hint of exasperation in your voice. “I’m on even at the side of the bed. It’s because you drank a lot, and you’re going to feel even more nauseous within the next thirty minutes. Now lie on your side before I do it for you. And I promise, you won’t like it if I have to move you.”

He let out a thoughtful hum and complied, shifting to his side, exhaling audibly. For a moment, it seemed like he had fallen asleep, but then he stirred and you heard his voice again.

“I have a question.”

“An endless amount, I assume,” you sighed. “What is it?”

“Were you born a demon? If not, why did you choose to be a demon? What's the difference between and angel and a demon? Oh—”

“I’m shocked you have the energy to ask so many questions considering your stomach is fighting a war right now,” you remarked.

“Talking distracts me,” he explained, punctuated by a deep inhale.

You rolled your eyes, and though you outwardly expressed annoyance, you couldn’t help but admire his persistence despite the fact that he was still afraid of you. However, you also expected his newfound bravery would fade once the alcohol did.

“Fine. I was born a demon, and there isn’t much of a difference between demons and angels physically; we only have different wings. Angels are generally always good, though, while demons can range from good to morally reprehensible,” you clarified.

“Where do you fall, then?” he asked.

Your position lied somewhere in between, though you were much closer to being good than you would have liked to admit. You still wanted him to fear you, so you opted for ambiguity, allowing the uncertainty to linger. “I’ll let you figure it out yourself,” you replied, moving to the side of the bed and sitting cross-legged to be at his eye level. You’d felt something a moment ago, and you had to look into his eyes for extra confirmation; he was feeling slightly better.

He blinked, a lopsided, tired smile forming on his lips. “I’ve been taught that all demons are evil and violent, but you’re really nice, I think,” he commented, his voice tinged with a hint of drowsiness. “Granted, this is only my second time talking to you, but I’ve been told I’m really good at reading people.”

“What are you talking about? I haven’t been nice to you at all,” you retorted, suppressing your own amusement. He was lucky that you had no intentions of killing him. “You just think that I’m pretty. That’s the only reason you want to believe I’m nice.”

“How do you know— Oh, wait,” he chuckled, realisation dawning. “I kinda said that the first time we met, didn’t I?”

You nodded. “Yes, you did.”

“Well, I do think you’re pretty,” he admitted. “And maybe I am blinded by how I look at you. I don’t know,” he mused. “Do you think I’m pretty?”

The air in the room thickened, your entire body reacting to his question with a sudden intensity you couldn’t fathom. You swallowed hard before responding with a stammer.

“Why do you want to know?” you asked, your voice faltering. “Does my opinion really matter?”

“I’m just curious,” he replied with a yawn. “You don’t have to answer, though. Not that I can force you, anyway.”

You sighed, realising there was no harm in answering him. “Yes, I do think you’re pretty,” you admitted, surprised at the pressure that seemed to swallow your entire being, despite the insignificance of the statement. “But that doesn’t change—”

“Really?” His voice pitched higher with excitement, his lips stretching into a broad smile. He then proceeded to turn his glee into a song, consisting of the lyrics ‘my demon thinks I’m pretty’ on a harmonious loop.

You rolled your eyes and stifled his voice for a second, just to remind him of what you were capable of. But, despite that, you couldn’t hold back the smile that came to your lips. He was such a peculiar human, but not necessarily in a bad way.

The only problem was that your chest would not calm down.

“Just go to sleep. You’re clearly tired.”

He pouted and hummed, just to make sure his voice was back. “Are you tired?”

Considering you’d been there for a while, you should have been. But, you had enough energy to last for centuries, though it wasn’t concerning enough for you to think about it for too long. “Worry about yourself,” you replied. “Good night, Minseok.”

Then you were gone.

He fell asleep shortly after you left, and you watched him sleep soundly throughout the night, while you were left with nothing but your thoughts. Namely, trying to figure out why Minseok stood out to you so much after one drunken interaction.

He was far from being the most outlandish human you’d ever come across, nor was he interesting. And yet, he made you… curious. Which didn’t happen often, because you’d spent so much time on earth, so much time around humans, that you’d already found the answers to most of your questions.

Before you knew it, sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting warm, patterned light on his face. He opened his eyes with a groan for only a second before he sat up with his eyes squeezed shut and his head in his hands, whispered curses tumbling past his lips.

All of this just to end up drinking again. You couldn’t help but sigh.

His splitting headache kept him sluggish for most of the day, unable to do much but eat light meals, take pain killers, and try his best to stay far away from bright lights. It was only when the sun began to set that he seemed to feel a little better. Though still not his usual self, he had garnered enough energy to make himself a proper meal.

You watched him comb through the cupboards and refrigerator until he finally decided on something and started gathering everything he needed while muttering something about needing to go grocery shopping soon.

He looked at all the ingredients laid out before him with his lips pursed and hands on his hips. “By the way, thanks for being there for me last night. I’m sorry if I said anything weird. I know it’s not an excuse, but I was drunk, and... I’m starting to feel a little insane here,” he sighed, shoulders falling. “I’m... talking to dead air, aren’t I? Can you even hear me?”

You could have easily ignored him, let him believe that he was talking to himself and move on, but for some reason, it didn’t feel right to do that. So, you appeared right next to him, causing him to leap halfway in the air.

“Why are you scared? You were talking to me, weren’t you?”

He clutched his chest, while his other hand held the counter to make up for his unreliable knees. “I was but... you can’t just show up like that! You could’ve warned me first,” he said, breathless.

You pursed your lips then shook your head. “I don’t think so. Scaring you is a lot more fun.”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, he stood up straight and cleared his throat. “Anyway, like I was saying, I can’t exactly remember much of what was said last night, but I do remember calling you pretty, and you calling me pretty…”

Your heart raced at the memory, but you managed to not let it show outwardly, responding with a casual shrug. “Yeah, I know. I was there.”

“Well… I’m sorry,” he apologized once again.

“For calling me pretty?”

“No! I mean, yes… but, I just thought I made you uncomfortable, you know? I do think you’re pretty, but…” He paused, then soughed out a laugh, shaking his head. “You just wanted me to call you pretty again.”

It wasn’t your intention; you just wanted to tease him a little, to make him scramble to find the right words so that you would spare his life. But hearing him call you pretty again…

“Nope. But, if you wanna say it again, I won’t stop you.”

He laughed again, this time deep from his chest, dramatically throwing his head back. “You’re really funny,” he whispered. “So, um… I’m about to cook dinner. Do you eat regular… well, um… human food? If so, you can stay if you want to.”

“Well, normally I don’t. Astral beings don’t have to eat,” you explained. “But, I do indulge in human food from time to time, so I guess I can have dinner with you.”

“Doesn’t it get boring? Not eating, I mean.”

“Kinda,” you shrugged. “That’s why I eat human food whenever I can. Though, we can’t eat every day; it makes us sluggish, and I kind of have to be on alert at all times to make sure nothing happens to you.”

“Oh,” he said with a small frown. “I was hoping we could do this again if it went well.”

“Why would you want to do that?” You cocked your head slightly to the side, raising an eyebrow. It was baffling that he wasn’t afraid of you, and instead of actively trying to keep you away, he was being friendly and welcoming. You hadn’t done anything to warrant him being so inviting, and while it was a nice surprise, it only left you with questions that you couldn’t immediately find an answer to.

The biggest one being, why did speaking to him make your chest feel like it held a fluttering bird?

“I don’t know,” he shrugged. “Is it weird?”

“Incredibly weird. Don’t I scare you?” You knew that you hadn’t done much for him to cower in fear, but the mere fact that you were a demon was usually enough for humans to express nothing but sheer terror. And yet here he was, inviting you to have dinner with him, and being disappointed that you couldn’t eat with him every day. Minseok was truly the strangest human you had ever come across.

“A little, yes,” he answered. “Not that you’re a monster or anything; it’s just—”

“Oh, I get it. You’re being nice to me so I won’t kill you.”

“I’ve thought about it, I can’t lie. And I can’t completely say that it’s not lingering somewhere in my mind. I’m not just being nice because I don’t want you to kill me; I’m being nice because you haven’t done anything to hurt me. Besides, you’re nice in your own way,” he said, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness.

“I just can’t understand you,” you mumbled as he turned away from you. “Anyway, um… I’ll come back when I feel like you’re done.”

“Alright,” he nodded. “I won’t be too long.”

He was true to his word, but you observed how he fretted over every detail, agonising over whether the onions and garlic had spend too much time in the frying pan, if he’d been too generous with the cheese, or if the salt had been overly abundant. He was quite stressed the entire time.

When he finally finished, he set two plates on the dining table and sat down, anxiously awaiting your arrival. And so you did, startling him once again as you took your seat directly across from him.

“I’m glad you came back. I was genuinely afraid that you wouldn’t,” he confessed with a nervous laugh, gesturing towards the pasta in front of you with a nod. “Please let me know what you think. I’m eager to hear your thoughts.”

You weren’t very picky; most human food was good to you, but you allowed him to sit at the edge of his seat, attempting unsuccessfully to appear nonchalant as he watched you take your first bite.

To your surprise, the meal was not just good; it was amazing. You raised your eyebrows and let out a contented hum. Then you watched as his shoulders relaxed a bit as he smiled down at his own food. “It’s really good. I’m genuinely surprised by how delicious it is.”

“Thank you,” he hummed. “I remember the last time I made this.”

You remembered as well. He made it for his friend, Kyungsoo, so he could critique it since he valued his culinary expertise. His response was that it lacked flavour, and although he was somewhat disappointed, it appeared that he’d taken the advice to heart.

Yet, you listened as if you knew nothing, as he recounted stories about his friends, his childhood, and events from just hours ago. His enthusiasm for sharing his life story with you was kind of endearing, and at some point, it began to feel like you were hearing them for the first time. You even found yourself asking questions that you already knew the answers too.

Both of you had finished your meal, but you remained seated and talked for nearly two hours, laughter filling the air. It felt like you’d only been there for a fleeting moment, even after eating human food. What was even more confusing was that you were actually looking forward to staying a bit longer.

“I’ve been talking about myself so much, but you haven’t told me anything about yourself,” he remarked. “So… tell me about yourself,” he said, now significantly more at ease than when you first showed up that evening.

“What would you like to know? And before you ask, I won’t tell you my name.”

“Damn,” he muttered. “Well, what did you do before becoming a guardian?”

“Do you really wanna know that?”

“Yes,” he nodded. “Unless it’s something you’d rather not talk about.”

“I don’t mind; it’s just not very interesting,” you replied with a shrug. “Well, demons aren’t born; we’re spawned, whether it’s from anger, joy, or annoyance. In my case, I was spawned from my father’s grief. His wife was banished from the astral realm, and he couldn’t see her again, so he cried until I materialised from his tears. Naturally, my purpose from then on was to help humans deal with grief by appearing in their dreams as their loved ones, specifically to help then find closure and move forward. After a few years, I was allowed to give that up, and then I started allowing humans to summon me for favours, and eventually I got tired of that and became a guardian.”

He sat there, hanging on every word you uttered, nodding as if genuinely interested. “So, why did you choose to become a guardian?”

It was a question you had when you had initially become a guardian; why, when you had such disdain for humans for as long as you could remember? The simple answer was that you didn’t truly despise humanity as a whole; most were just a bit insufferable. There were both good and bad people, just as there were both good and bad demons.

But, you didn’t say any of this. Instead, you said, “Because humans are idiots.”

“Fair enough,” he acknowledged. “Well, tonight has been amazing. I’d love to learn more about you, but you’re probably tired, so I guess it’s time to wrap this up.”

“I suppose so,” you concurred, still unwilling to decipher what your newfound boundless energy meant, although you were starting form a suspicion.

“I’m not entirely sure what happens when you leave, but have a… safe journey home? I’m not sure.”

You nodded, but you didn’t leave immediately. Instead, you gazed at him while an odd sensation swirled in your stomach, accompanied by even more perplexing thoughts coursing through your mind. Eventually, you took a deep breath and spoke. “Can we… make this a weekly thing?”

His eyes widened slightly, and he glanced around before meeting your gaze once more. “Do you genuinely mean that, or are you just being sarcastic?”

“I mean it,” you affirmed. “If it means that much to you, then…” You couldn’t even admit to yourself that it was more for your sake than his. Acknowledging that would have felt like surrendering your last shred of dignity.

“Well, thank you. I’d love to do this every week,” he chuckled, a smile gracing his lips as he pushed his hair away from his face. “Good night.”

“Good night, Minseok.”

And so a new routine was established.

You weren’t particularly rigid, accustomed to finding yourself in peculiar situations, but falling into a routing with Minseok proved much easier than anticipated. You would show up every time he called you, and sometimes you would share a meal, but you always stayed by his side as he cooked, staying for about an hour after he finished eating before returning to your distant observation.

This pattern persisted for about a month before Minseok decided to change things up a bit.

“I kind of feel like watching a movie now,” he remarked as he cleared your plates. “Do you have enough energy to stay, or is that asking too much?”

“It depends,” you mused. “What are we watching?”

“Well...”

You rolled your eyes, his response giving away the answer. “It’s a demon movie, isn’t it?” You chuckled lightly when he nodded meekly. “You’re so predictable, but sure, why not. I assume you expect me to point out the inaccuracies, right?”

“I thought it might be fun,” he mumbled.

“You’re so...” You bit your tongue, refraining from completing your sentence with the word ‘adorable.’ You shook your head, attempting to banish that thought, but it persisted, echoing in your mind as he gazed at you with those enchanting eyes. You released a sigh and closed your eyes briefly. “Let’s just watch the movie.”

As the movie began, it followed the typical horror movie narrative: a fresh start after enduring a terrible storm, optimism for a brighter future, and an obliviousness to the strange occurrences in their new home.

Demons didn’t haunt for the sake of it; they only did so to fulfil a favour. Toying with humans was not particularly entertaining, after all.

As the plot unfolded, the demon grew bolder, directly attacking anyone in the house, displaying mindless and violent tendencies. You had watched numerous demon movies with awful depictions of demons, and while you couldn’t claim this was the worst, it was certainly far from the best.

You observed Minseok squirming in his seat, and a thought crossed your mind: was that how he perceived you? A thoughtless, violent monster?

A sinking feeling settled in your stomach. Initially, you had wanted him to be scared of you, but now you weren’t so sure. You released a frustrated sigh, a range of emotions coursing through you.

You continued watching the movie, and near its conclusion, you became aware of how heavy your eyelids had become. You guessed you had become too accustomed to your recent boundless energy, and now it was catching up with you. But you couldn’t afford to sleep; you couldn’t simply leave Minseok unattended because you had been careless with your energy management.

Yet each blink brought a sense of bliss, and your eyes remained closed for a fraction longer each time. Then you heard Minseok’s frantic voice, momentarily bringing alertness back to your body.

“What’s wrong?” you asked, watching as his panic escalated.

“You kept... flickering. One moment you were here, then gone, then back again,” he explained with a growing sense of urgency. “Are you...”

“Dying? No, that’s impossible. I’m just tired, and I’m having trouble maintaining—”

Before you could finish your sentence, you realised you had vanished once more, and Minseok was, once again, in a state of panic.

“Damn, was it the food?”

You took a deep breath and exerted more energy, although with your exhaustion, you appeared as if you were a ghost, your physical form translucent. “Calm down. I’m fine.”

He took a few deep breaths to regain his composure and nodded. “Sorry, I just... I’m worried about you. What happens when you sleep?”

“Don’t worry about me; worry about yourself. If I fall asleep, you’ll be vulnerable. I can’t allow that.”

He took a moment to contemplate, a bit too long, as your body began to slowly fade from his view. When he finally realised, a torrent of words tumbled from his mouth. “I won’t do anything stupid; I’ll be extra cautious. I’ll stay away sharp objects, watch my step, I won’t eat solid food—”

“I’m not going to sleep.”

“Please? I’m concerned about you.”

You sighed as he regarded you with those eyes again. For a human, he possessed more power than he was aware of. “If you die while I’m asleep, I’ll find your soul and torment you for the rest of eternity.”

“I’m okay with that,” he said with a smile. “Good night... I still don’t know your name.”

A gut feeling urged you to simply tell him. There was no harm in it, after all. And maybe, it was the first step toward dispelling his fear of you. With the last remnants of your energy, you uttered your name.

And for the brief moment you were awake after vanishing from his sight, you witnessed him smile and silently mouth the syllables.

You woke up the following morning, invigorated and rejuvenated, while Minseok occupied an uncomfortable spot on the couch, his mouth slightly agape. Had he really spent the entire night there? His eyelids fluttered open, as if sensing your presence, and he stretched his arms above his head, his gaze scanning the room in a half-asleep haze before he murmured your name.

You were already regretting your decision.

“Did you stay here all night?” you asked, appearing before him. He greeted you with a faint smile and a drowsy ‘good morning’ before stretching again.

“I didn’t realize how tired I was until after you left, so I kind of crashed on the couch.”

“Well, your muscles are probably stiff now, but at least you managed to keep yourself alive. I’m proud of you.”

“Thank you,” he replied with a smile. “And I’m sorry for asking for so much from you.”

“It’s not entirely your fault. I don’t blame you,” you assured him. “It might not seem like it, but astral beings are very emotional, and we tend to be affected by strong emotions. The movie kind of... bothered me,” you reluctantly confessed.

“I understand,” he nodded. “I feel guilty.”

“Well, don’t. I’m alright, and so are you. That’s all that matters.”

He beamed, chuckling a bit as he softly called your name under his breath. “You’re being oddly nice. I like it; it’s adorable.”

You laughed and shook your head, rolling your eyes. “Alright, Minseok; are you gonna make a habit of saying my name for no reason?”

He shrugged, “Maybe.”

“Goodbye.”

You continued your routine of meeting once a week, though Minseok had become extra cautious, asking you a million times if you were sure it was a good choice whenever you asked him for food, and only giving you the tiniest portion when he finally relented.

It would have been annoying if not for the fact that it was a bit endearing.

It took a month for him to let down his guard a bit, suggesting a movie.

“It’s a romantic comedy; no demons, I swear. Just two humans falling in love and making lame jokes along the way,” he promised. “If you think you can’t handle it, please let me know.”

“I don’t like romance,” you replied. “But I don’t care enough to have strong emotions towards it.”

“You don’t strike me as the type. Probably because it’s unrealistic, I assume.”

“I don’t like that you know me this well.”

“I mean, it’s only natural; I’ve been spending a lot of time with you. You’ve mentioned how you feel like humans have an idealised view of life and it makes us stupid,” he recalled. “But, like I’ve said before, that’s what makes life exciting. So, yeah, it’s a corny movie, but it’s fun, and I like laughing.”

“How do you know it’s not because I’ve never experienced romance? That I only feel the way I do because it’s not something I’m familiar with and I’m desperate to know how it feels to be in someone’s loving embrace?”

“As gorgeous as you are? I find that hard to believe that you don’t have all the other astral beings lining up to be with you.”

“Flattery gets you nowhere.”

You hadn’t exactly experienced romance, not to the extent that you felt like you should have; only a few flash-in-the-pan relationships that you hardly cared to even consider actual relationships. So, there was a bit of truth in your sarcasm.

“It might; you never know.”

He played the movie, and it started out exactly how you had expected. A perpetually overwhelmed woman who refused to admit that she had feelings for her annoying male friend in fear of ruining their friendship, and also because she felt like he was far out of her league, despite the fact that he was sending signals that he was interested in her as well.

You couldn’t deny that the movie was funny; just in an ironic way, not because the jokes were actually funny. Though, Minseok seemed to think otherwise, but you guessed you shouldn’t be surprised; it didn’t take much to make him laugh.

Though you still found yourself paying full attention to the movie until you heard Minseok calling your name.

“Can I put my arm around you?”

“...What?”

“I... Never mind,” he sighed. “It’s fine.”

“If you want to, then sure,” you said with all the nonchalance you could muster, but inside, your heart felt like it was about to burst out of your ribcage. “I don’t see why you want to, but okay.”

“Thanks,” he smiled, then he nervously scooted a bit closer and draped his arm around you.

“You’re actually real,” he said under his breath, though just a bit louder than he’d intended.

“What are you talking about?”

“I just... I kinda thought I imagined you, that this was all a really nice dream. But now that I’m touching you, I know now that it’s all very real.”

You were at a loss for words as you looked into each other’s eyes. You wanted to say something witty, something to break up the tension, but your mind was running blank. If you had opened your mouth at that very moment, you would’ve done nothing but stutter and embarrass yourself.

He finally looked away, smiling as he hugged you closer to him. And then, you felt something.

“Minseok.”

“Yeah?”

“You’re getting a cold.”

“Are you sure?” he asked, looking at you. “I feel fine.”

“Are you really gonna argue with me? A demon?”

He mumbled something under his breath, littered with curses before sighing. “You can’t catch it, can you?”

“Of course not,” you confirmed. “So yes, we can still hang out as long as you’re up for it.”

“Then it’s not so bad.” He relaxed again into a smile and turned his attention back to the movie, while you were unable to focus on anything but him throughout the rest of it.

Eventually, he had fallen asleep holding you, and you felt his temperature climbing steadily. You felt bad for him; he’d feel like it all hit him out of nowhere when morning came.

You stayed with him, physically this time, enjoying the feeling of being so close to him.

It was time for you to admit to yourself that you liked him; it was the only reason you could stay with him for so long with no repercussions. You loved talking to him, you loved being around him, and every second you spent observing him made you wish that you could be with him all the time. Subconsciously, you’d known since that night when he got drunk, but you were afraid of what it would mean if you admitted it to yourself.

You thought that being honest with yourself would make things easier, but now, you were terrified. Now, you had no choice but to be honest with him for your own sanity.

He woke up groaning and stretching his arms above his head, joints cracking and sinuses congested. “You weren’t lying,” he croaked.

“You actually doubted me?”

“Maybe I was a little in denial...” His face turned into one of bewilderment as he looked at you sitting on the couch. “Wait, have you been here this whole time?”

“Yeah, I have.” He looked nervous so you shook your head and quickly reassured him. “I keep telling you not to worry about me. I’m fine; you’re not.”

“But—”

“I’m completely fine. I promise.”

He reluctantly let it go and sniffled, rubbing his temples. “I feel awful,” he said with a pout.

“I know. Get something to eat. That should make you feel a little better.”

He nodded, leaving to go to the kitchen. You followed behind him and silently watched him. He didn’t seem to have the energy to do anything, his body so fragile that he did everything at a snail’s pace. You sighed and stood beside him, taking the spatula out of his hand.

“What are you doing?”

“Take a shower. I’ll make your breakfast.”

“Are you allowed to do that?”

“I’m not directly curing you, so it should be fine,” you assured him.

He mumbled an ‘okay’ and reluctantly let you take over. Shortly after, you heard the quiet click of the bathroom door closing, then a squeak as he turned on the shower. He didn’t stay too long, though it was just enough time for you to finish the food. He still looked awful as he slowly walked towards the table with a robe wrapped around his body.

“I didn’t have the energy to get properly dressed; I’m sorry,” he apologised.

“I’ve seen you naked multiple times. Seeing you in a robe is nothing,” you confessed, placing the food in front of him.

“I think this cold is making me hallucinate. Did you say you’ve seen me naked?”

“Yes,” you nodded. “Just because you can’t see me, doesn’t mean I can’t see you. I’m with you every second of every day. I wasn’t completely honest with you because I didn’t want you to feel the pressure of being constantly watched.”

At first, he reacted just like you’d expected; a panicked look in his eyes, probably wondering just how many embarrassing things he’d done while he was unknowingly being watched. But then, his panic turned into a smile, one that made your heart flutter. “So... Did you like it?”

“Are you really flirting with me when you can hardly keep your head up?” you said, unable to hold in your laugh. “I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m telling you now.”

“I am, but... I’m not sure that I want to know the answer.”

“What do you think I’m gonna say?”

“You’re quitting and I’ll never see you again.”

You shook your head. You had no intentions of quitting; not now, at least. “I enjoy spending time with you... a bit too much.”

“I would assume you wouldn’t spend as much time with me if you didn’t,” he said before taking a bite of his food. “I can’t really taste anything, but I feel like I should tell you that it’s really good. Thank you.”

“Your welcome. I think.” You stayed silent for a moment before letting out a sigh. “I told you about astral beings and our emotions before, right?”

“Yeah, you explained after the demon movie. What are you saying?”

“I don’t get tired being here physically any more. In fact, I feel very energised.”

“Mhm...”

“Do I really have to say it? Isn’t it obvious by now?”

He laughed warmly, shoulders rising and falling as he did. “I don’t know. I’m not sure I get what you’re saying,” he lied, unable to stop himself from laughing even more.

“It’s not funny!” you whined.

“You’re so cute,” he said, letting out a satisfied sigh. “I know what you wanna say, but I wanna hear you say it.”

You inhaled a deep breath and let it out shakily. Why was it so nerve-wracking? You’d never been this terrified before. You swallowed hard and took another deep breath before nodding to yourself, assuring yourself that everything would be alright. “I like you,” you barely said.

“I like you too,” he said with a lot more confidence than you. “I mean, I’m sure I’ve made it obvious.”

“You have,” you nodded. “But, that’s not the problem.” You had your doubts for a moment, but Minseok wore his emotions on his sleeve; that was far from the issue.

“Is it... forbidden?”

“I think you’ve been watching too many movies,” you said, shaking your head. “No, it’s not forbidden. I just don’t know how it would work out between us.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean... we can’t get married, I can’t meet your friends or family, and I don’t even know if children are a possibility.”

He only took a second to think over your words, a small smile appearing on his face shortly after. “We don’t need to get married. Not ideal, but it’s something I can work with. We don’t need to have kids.”

“I’ll outlive you.”

“Great, so I’ll never have to lose you.”

“I can kill you.”

“So can everyone and anything else. But you like me too much to kill me.”

“You’re impossible.”

“If you’re really against being in a relationship, then it’s okay. I won’t force you or pressure you,” he assured you. “Not that I can,” he added as an afterthought.

You were perfectly capable of remaining friends with him, or going back to the shadows and no longer speaking to him. But, the more you thought about it, the more your chest tightened. You already knew what you wanted, but you were so used to ignoring what you wanted that this feeling; the lack of control; scared you.

Did you really want this that much?

You sighed. “I don’t... want to act like I don’t feel anything.”

“Tell me what you want, then. I won’t react negatively, no matter what you say,” he promised. “Again, not that I can.”

“I want you,” you whispered, looking into his eyes. “I know that’s what I want.”

“That’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard you say,” he smiled weakly. “So... we’re together now? Is it official?”

You nodded. Having it out in the open felt like a huge weight had been lifting off your shoulders. You’d caught on to your budding feelings quite early, but you never realised how you’d been keeping yourself prisoner to your own emotions until you were finally free.

“I won’t make you regret it,” he said, then he slowly walked towards you and kneeled at your feet, laying his head on your lap before reaching for your hand. “I really wish I wasn’t sick,” he sighed. “I don’t wanna kiss you while trying to keep my nose from running at the same time.”

“I’ve seen worse,” you assured him. “Besides; I already told you that I can’t catch it.”

“I know, but it’s not very romantic,” he said, shifting his head a bit. “On the other hand, I’m a little impatient. I’ve been dreaming of our first kiss for a while now.”

You laughed faintly, raking your fingers through his hair. “You’re so... cute,” you said, hesitating a bit because it felt so unfamiliar to say the words out loud. “If you really want to kiss me, then I’ll allow it.”

He looked up at you, tilting his head a bit. “Eventually you’re gonna have to admit that it’s really you who wants to do these thing, you know. At some point, I’ll stop letting it slide.”

“I kinda miss when you were scared of me,” you chuckled. “Come here.”

You cupped his cheeks, tilting his head upwards so that you were looking into each other’s eyes. You couldn’t recall a moment where you had felt this nervous, hands trembling as your eyes darted between his own and his inviting lips.

The heat from his body wasn’t just from the fever. It sunk into your skin, igniting an inextinguishable flame in your chest. He inched forward just a bit, letting his lips brush against yours, not giving in entirely, but urging you to kiss him like you wanted to.

And so, you did. The kiss unfolded, setting off a flurry of butterflies in your stomach, your heart thundering in your chest. It was a moment you had waited for, yearning for it in the depths of your soul. Kissing him felt like something destined to happen across the span of time.

In that moment, it was as if eternity stretched before you, and you would have been content to linger there forever. It was a sensation similar to a scene from that stupid movie he’d made you watch.

Breaking the kiss, he was the first to pull away, drawing in a breath as a lopsided grin played on his lips. “You make me feel invincible.”

In his arms, you felt a deep connection to your own humanity in the best way possible. Words eluded you, so instead, you lowered your head and planted a tender kiss at the top of his head.

Maybe, just maybe, this unconventional journey held the promise of something beautiful.

SNOWY WONDERLAND ; KMS

kim minseok x fem! reader

where you’re from, it doesn’t snow. like, at all. and because of that, one of your dreams is to experience a snowstorm. and when minseok takes you to his hometown for christmas, your wish just might come true.

genre: non-idol au! simple christmas-themed & snowy fluff <3 word count: 1.1k warnings: none

author’s note: omggg hello @your-sophie18​ !!! it’s me, your secret santa for @exols-silver-christmas 2022!! i was pleasantly surprised to get a moot of mine for ss but a welcome surprise since we got to get to know each other better via our anon convos!! i do hope you enjoy this fic i had a great time writing it :D <3

Sometimes you loved living somewhere tropical, other times you weren’t the biggest fan.

Sure, it was warm during the winter, but that warranted hot and humid summers that you hated. Plus, you never got to experience a White Christmas like how the movies speak about.

Minseok moved to your city from a place where he got to experience said White Christmas. He raved about his memories of playing in the snow as a child (and even as an adult). And this was where you told him you never got the same experience.

“I’ve lived here all my life and it’s never snowed.” you told him.

He was surprised at first. But soon after, he made a drunken vow to get you to some snowy place ASAP.

It only took two years of knowing each other and six months of dating for him to actually fulfill this promise, but better late than never!

Minseok sprung the idea to you once December began. You were eating breakfast and sipping on a hot mug of tea when he came downstairs with a big smile on his face.

“You’re gonna see snow.” he says as he kisses you on the cheek.

“Good morning to you too,” you joke. “But please elaborate.”

“My friend Jongdae from back at home said there’s gonna be a pretty big snowstorm two days before Christmas so...” Minseok unlocks his phone to show you...

“Plane tickets?” you ask.

“Yeah, I mean... if it’s okay? I can always refund them-” He’s cut off when you wrap your arms around him, squeezing him slightly.

“More than okay, Minnie. I love it.” He hugs you back, placing a kiss on the top of your head.

“Wait, there’s more to the gift. Follow me, and close your eyes,” You nod.

When Minseok tells you to open them, you see him holding a puffy winter jacket in your favorite color. 

“Oh my gosh...”

“Got my friend who models for the company to hook me up. What do you think?” Minseok’s hopeful grin will forever be photographed in your mind. He simply looked so wonderful standing there. You said nothing but ran over to engulf your boyfriend in the tightest of hugs. Everything was perfect.

The snowstorm happened two days into your stay in South Korea. You woke up in the middle of the night out of nowhere and were greeted with a bit of white light in your hotel room. 

Careful not to wake your sleeping boyfriend, you run to the window and watch the snow fall with pure awe. The snowflakes were smaller than what you’ve seen on TV, but they fell with a grace like no other.

A gust of wind blows and causes some snowflakes to swiftly move to the right. They make a small swirl in the air, traveling in the space before ultimately landing in the white on the ground.

Minseok quickly notices you were out of bed when he wakes. He looks to his right, seeing you kneeling in front of the window watching the snow. He can’t fight the grin seeing you so captivated by something he’s seen multiple times.

You jump in surprise when you hear Minseok kneel next to you by the window. He has a tired smile on his face and his arms out. 

“It’s so pretty!” You muse, turning back to the window as you move into his arms. He kisses you on the forehead as he watches the snow with you.

“Isn’t it?” The view only gets better when the sun starts to rise. The yellows and oranges paint the snow in such a way that has you completely speechless. As if Minseok could read your mind, he grabs your phone from the nightstand and takes a picture of the view. 

“This is the best Christmas present ever. I just... I have no words.”

“You don’t need to say anything. Seeing you this happy is more than enough.” Your eyes well up with tears when you face Minseok again, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him into a kiss. 

After completing your morning routine and eating breakfast, you drag Minseok outside. The snowfall finished at this point and the ground was covered with white. You reach out to touch the snow with a gloved hand and grin when your hand goes right through. You scoop some up and look at the pile before blowing it away, creating a mini snowfall.

“It’s fluffy snow!” You smile, feeling as excited as a child seeing their first snowfall. Minseok nods, gathering his own handful of snow and sprinkling it all over your head. You let out a squeal as it tickles your face. You gather more snow and throw it in his face before running away from him.

“You’re gonna get it!” He shouts playfully.

“No!” You kick some snow in his direction and pick up some in your hands, squishing it together to create a snowball. You throw it at him, laughing when it hits him in the chest. 

There’s a mischievous glint in your boyfriend’s eye when he makes a snowball of his own and throws it. Except he misses. 

“Ha! You suck!” You shout.

“I do not!” He retorts, kicking snow at you like a petulant child. 

“Yeah?” You throw another snowball which hits him in the knee. “Prove it!”

“I will!” Minseok surprisingly succeeds this time: throwing a snowball and hitting your shoulder. He whoops, dancing in his place before running to you and lifting you up. 

“Put me down! Agh! Fine, you don’t suck!” You squeal. Minseok loses his balance, causing both of you to fall on the ground. The snow breaks your fall and has you both giggling like a couple of schoolchildren. 

“Say I won and I’ll give you a kiss.” 

“I hit you twice, so I technically won.” Minseok takes some snow and sprinkles it all over you.

“If I admit you win, can I still give you that kiss?”

“You can give me that kiss regardless, but yes.”

“Fair enough. You win.” You hum, leaning forward and pressing a kiss on Minseok’s lips. 

You’re freezing when you get back to the hotel. Minseok helps you take your coat off and change into warm pajamas. You wrap yourself in a blanket and sit by the electric fireplace as Minseok makes warm beverages for you and him.

He comes over with two steaming paper cups with hot chocolate inside, handing you yours as he sits next to you. You inhale the comforting chocolatey smell as the steam wafts over your face, warming you up more. 

“Careful, it’s hot.” Minseok says. You nod, placing the cup down as you open the blanket and let him snuggle next to you.

The room is silent apart from the sounds of the fireplace and you and Minseok sipping on your drinks. But the silence is nothing short of comforting, especially as you lean your head on Minseok’s shoulder.

Everything is perfect at this moment.

Pairing: Minseok x Reader Genre: CEO AU, Office AU, Suggestive, Angst Rating: T Summary: You run out on him only to end up in his office that same day. Word Count: 1.1k ✊🏾😔 another failed drabble Warnings: implied smut, office relations

Inspired by this post.

It wasn’t often you fucked up this badly. Office mixers tend to end up at a bar with someone table dancing. It was the life of magazine writers. Drink, wake up hungover, drag your ass to work, then do it all over again. But this time was different. This time you woke up naked in a hotel room.

You listened to the shower going with mild panic, unable to remember who you slept with the night before. One-night stands weren’t your thing, so what the fuck, past self? You took inventory of your body. There was a pleasant soreness from your core and thighs, as well as a twinge of pain from the side of your neck. No doubt you had love bites to cover up. Shit, fuck, shit.

Should you let him know you’re awake? All thoughts stopped cold when you caught the red LED of the clock on the nightstand. You were supposed to be at work thirty minutes ago! You flung yourself out of bed, tripping in the sheets as you fumbled to toss on your clothes and shoes. Ideally, you’d thank your lover for a wonderful night, but Giselle was waiting. Every second was precious and vital to keeping your damn job. With a wince of regret, you snuck out of the room and sprinted away.

Minseok heard the door close and stuck his head out of the shower. Surely, he was hearing things. Maybe he’d forgotten to put the do not disturb sign on the door and a maid had peeked in. He shrugged it off and finished washing his body, lamenting the loss of your sweet scent on his skin but taking comfort that if breakfast went well, he’d get it back and then some. Last night had been a wonder to him, an eye-opening soul-searching experience he wouldn’t forget anytime soon, if ever. The way you’d rode him hard and moaned his name so sweetly had his spine tingling just from the memories. He didn’t believe in love at first sight, especially with drinks involved, but he was sure he’d come pretty damn close. There were no words to describe how he felt realizing you were what he was missing in life. A smart, funny woman who didn’t care for who he was or how much money he had in the bank.

“Hey, wanna go get—” He poked his head out of the bathroom and stopped. The sheets were halfway off the bed. Your clothes and purse were gone. For a few minutes, he was confused. Why weren’t you in bed? Where was your stuff? He stepped out into the room and checked the corners. You were truly gone. What the hell? Minseok was no stranger to one-night stands, but he’d done everything to make it clear his time with you wasn’t that. He had every intention of seeing you again and again. But clearly, you didn’t. And of course, he didn’t get your number since he’d been so confident there’d be plenty of time for that.

Biting the inside of his cheek, Minseok went about getting dressed. He had a magazine interview shortly after lunch and could kill time before it at the office. Though he hated to do it, he pushed you to the back of his mind. No sense in dwelling over mistakes. The show must go on.

“Mr. Kim is on his way.” The secretary smiled as she led the way to the CEO’s office. “He’s asked to have you wait in his office.”

“That’s fine.” You went through your purse making sure you had everything you needed. Notepad? Check. Pen? Check. Breath mints? Double-check. She opened the door and stepped aside for you. Mr. Kim’s office was bigger than you expected, but then what else would the son of a hotel mogul have? Everything looked so expensive, so far out of your price range. It made you feel out of place. But that didn’t matter. You weren’t here to cry over the class gap. You were here to write a story. Just when you were about to take a seat, the door opened behind you. You straightened up and turned around, only to be met with a vaguely familiar face.

Minseok couldn’t believe his eyes, or his luck. It’s a small world, after all. The two of you stood there in silence before he quietly shut the door behind him. He watched you carefully, waiting to see horror or guilt on your pretty little face, but it never came. Instead, you put on your best professional smile.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Kim. It’s great to finally meet you.”

“Finally?” He scoffed then bit the inside of his cheek, walking around his desk to his chair while pointedly ignoring your outstretched hand. “I get it. You’re working, so we must remain professional, huh?”

“I—” You didn’t understand his attitude but retracted your hand and took a seat. This wasn’t anything like the reports you’d heard. Kim Minseok was supposed to be an angel, an absolute gentleman. The prickly man across from you had so far been anything but. “You must be having a rough day. How about we just skip to the questions and I’ll be on my way?”

Minseok just barely kept his face straight. Now you wanted to skip the small talk and get out of there? He couldn’t stop the words from coming out. “Do you handle everything in life like this? Just in and out, go-go-go? Or is it just with me?”

You eyed him carefully. “I’m…sorry? I don’t believe I’ve met you before now.”

“Oh, really? So I guess I slept with another woman who happens to look and sound just like you?” He leaned forward and rested his elbows on the desk. “You did a great job covering up the marks I left on your neck. But what about the ones on your thighs, hm?”

Your face chilled as the color drained from your face. Now you knew why his voice sounded familiar. The hotel you left this morning was from the Kim chain. The room did look ridiculously luxurious. How in the world did you end up in bed with a fucking hotel mogul?

Minseok’s grin grew with each passing second as the situation became clearer to you both. He was delighted to know that you genuinely didn’t know who he was when you slept with him. Even if you’d only considered him another body, you weren’t after his fortune or assets. He could work with that. After all, there are no accidents. He lowered his voice to a whisper when he asked, “Will you tell me why you left without saying goodbye?”

You bit your lip as your cheeks flushed. “I-I was late to work. My boss is very strict with tardiness and I had to prep for this interview. If I had known…”

“Hm. Well, lucky for us, we have a second chance.” He propped his chin up with his hand. “So, how about I order lunch and we start over?”

this is for u @colognedecigarette​ , junmyeon’s can be found here <3

send me a member + a prompt!!

#6: “use your tongue”

#16: “if you want to come you better beg”

#25: “get on your hands and knees, right now”

"you. get on your hands and knees, right now.” yixing orders. you nod, assuming the position on the bed. 

“and you. strip and get in front of her.” minseok nods. he takes his shirt and boxers off and walks over to you. he’s tugging himself to full hardness and stops when his cock is right in front of your mouth.

“suck him off till he comes. use your tongue.” 

it’s so fucking hot seeing yixing giving orders like this. usually minseok’s the one giving you and him the orders, but thanks to coercion from you, he handed over the reigns. 

your tongue works its magic on minseok’s cock. it’s not long till he’s ready to cum.

“fuck, i’m so close.”

“ah, ah, ah. if you want to come, you better beg.” yixing says. “beg her to let you come in her mouth.”

minseok whines and thrusts in your mouth. “please, baby, let me cum in your pretty mouth.” you hum, working him more till he spills in your mouth. 

“good girl, now it’s your turn.”

Warning Satyr are amongst us.

Word count 328

Satyrs (aka silens) are figures from Greek mythology who were followers of the god of wine Dionysos and who were often guilty of excessive sexual desires and overindulgence of wine. Men with a horse's tail and ears or men with goat legs, these shaggy and unruly creatures lived wild in the forests and symbolised the dangers of unrestraint. (World History Org.)

🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

            The Satyr.

Mythology you counter! What if I told you, no! I better not, some things are better kept secret. 

Are you sure? Once the door is opened it can not be closed!

Satyr's do in fact live  in today's society. Check the clubs and bars their  favourite hangout.

A long time ago they acquired a taste for females of the human species. Their features became an obstacle which hampered their sexual pursuits especially as time moved on. They learned early on to hide their non-human characteristics which worked to their advantage. They gradually spread out around the globe. Now they exist covertly in every corner of the planet.

Nowadays they blend in perfectly.

Heechul Kim for example, his show, 'Alcohol street fighter' what can I say? Jay Park, Won Soju, enough said! There are so many more examples but I think it's best we stick to one in particular. This one is a little different; he portrays an aura of innocence.

Do not be deceived, he is a Satyr.

Kim Minseok also known as Xiumin.

One of the most dangerous, that face, am I right? That alone is dangerous add to the mix is baser instincts, well  females are in peril.

What's that? You don't believe me? His innocent face! That's part of his armory. 

One of their powers is inciting sexual fantasies amongst the female population. 

I'm positive he's mastered this with a look.

If he offers you a glass of wine, or suggests a stroll in the forest you have been warned!

Then again maybe you want to experience the Satyr experience 😉
