Valentine Blues

Taehyun x reader

ex-best friends to lovers

Please reblog if you like this!

You were currently experiencing the worst day ever and were about one more tragedy away from having a breakdown.

Huffing violently you stood in the middle of an alleyway, watching your home route bus disappear with the main traffic.

Your phone beeped at the same time and you reached for it while taking rest on a wall nearby.

[10:51pm] Roomate.

Hey Y/n,

I just wanna thank you again for staying out tonight!! Because of you me and Josh can FINALLY enter the home base tonite and get extra juicy iykwim ;)))

Happy Valentines day babes!

Okay yeah now you can feel the breakdown coming.

You were so engrossed in storming all the libraries in town, looking for a specific book for your asshole Professor, to get him to reward you some extra credit, that you had conveniently forgot the stupid promise you had made to your roommate.

As much as you wanted to crash on the soft mattress of your bed and mute the world for rest of the weekend, you weren't desperate enough to walk into your roommate having sex with her co worker while roleplaying as a nurse.

In your peripheral vision, you could see couples huddled together, walking hand in hand. Some sharing an ice cream, others practically devouring each other with their intense stares.

Love was definitely in the air, and it made you nauseous. It wasn't that you were anti love or something, in the past you actually looked forward to this cliche holiday.

But recently you had managed to convince yourself that after several bitter breakups and unrequited crushes, being in a loving, healthy relationship seemed just impossible for you at this point.

Shaking your head, you pushed aside all the pointless worries and tried to focus on your current problem which was being homeless for the night.

You racked your brain to think which one of your crackhead friend would be available to offer you a lodging.

Kai? No. You knew he had plans with his girlfriend in her dorm to watch some random Disney movie and cry like a baby while she consoled him.

Soobin? Doubtful. His still had problems prioritising his girlfriend over odi, so that was a territory you didn't want to enter.

Beomgyu and Jeongin? Never. Those two would definitely be somewhere wasted in a club while they humped their way through another round of beer pong. They had actually tried to convince you for an entire week to join them at the club tonight and form a 'Singles Union', An association which helped each other to get laid. No way you were walking into that trap again.

That left you with Yeonjun- ehhhh. You actually had no idea what he was upto. Last time you heard from him, he was 'Single like a Pringle and definitely ready to Mingle'- his words not yours.

Sighing, you crossed your fingers as you dialled his number on your phone. Hopefully he could be your saving grace.

After a few rings he picked up the phone.

"Hey Junnie, I know it's kind of late and well.....Valentine's day but I really really need a favor from you," You said rushing your words. The cold weather was definitely peeking under your raging emotions.

"Oh hi Y/n, yeah sure what's up," Yeonjun replied, in a whisper.

"Yeah so I actually- I hear a woman's voice. Are you on a date?," You asked, cutting off your own words.

"Yes I am, but I can help you. What's the problem?" He answered.

To this you stifled a laugh. Choi Yeonjun on a date? The no strings attached Choi Yeonjun taking some lady out to have a nice dinner? This day was getting more trippy minute by minute.

"It's a speed dating thing. Now tell me what do you want, I don't have much time." Yeonjun said in an annoyed tone, taking the silence as a way of you teasing him.

Ah that makes so much more sense.

You almost felt bad for interrupting Yeonjun on his 'date' but you knew he was the only one who could save you right now.

So you told him about your problem.

"Hmmm you are aware that you can just crash at my place right? You already know where the key is kept, I won't be home for the night anyways" Yeonjun stated matter of factly.

Your ears perked up at his suggestion and you almost cursed yourself for not thinking about it earlier until a face flashed up in your mind.

"And what about Kang Taehyun?" You questioned grimly.

"Beggars can't be choosers Y/n. Besides it's not like he's the spawn of Satan." Your friends responded.

"But Yeonjun-,"

"Listen I have to go but consider this. It's not like you have any other option. Byee happy love day!" And then Yeonjun abruptly ended the call.

You groaned loudly and stomped your feet like a baby, earning glances from a few pedestrians. But you couldn't care less about them.

You started to weigh your options.

Spending a night at a run in shady motel full with horny couples or with your friend's roommate, the annoying, son of a gun- who also happened to be your ex bestfriend, Kang Taehyun.

After giving both of them intense thought. You decided to swallow your pride and take up Yeonjun's offer. Atleast his bed would be free of mysterious bodily fluids unlike the motel's.

After almost walking for half an hour- a consequence of missing the bus earlier, you finally reached Yeonjun's apartment.

Your feet were giving up on you and your teeth began to clatter lightly due to the cold February weather.

You could hear faint music from the other side of the door.

Great. Taehyun was home.

You weren't surprised though.

Even though you despised Taehyun, you decided to knock on the door instead of unlocking it out of common courtesy.

Nothing happened for a few moments and you knocked again. Still nothing.

Growing impatient you reached for the key and was about to use it when Taehyun opened it.

Correction: A very shirtless dripping wet Taehyun, with a towel around his waist opened the door.

"Lover boy isn't home tonight," Taehyun started with a stern tone. Oblivious to the fact that he was basically half nude standing in front of you.

"I-uh," You gulped, trying to compose yourself.

Taehyun is annoying and irritating and an asshole. His chiseled abs could not facade his shitty personality.

"Yeonjun said I could stay here tonight, Now move." You continued before making your way inside the apartment.

You did feel a bit intrusive and rude but your day had already been a mess and dealing with Kang Taehyun was icing on the cake.

Ignoring and engaging in minimum conversation with him was your goal.

Reminiscing the comfy feeling of a bed, you made a beeline for Yeonjun's room and turned the knob to open the door.

"What the fuck," A string of curse words left your mouth as you saw the room before you.

It was completely trashed and the stench of freshly applied paint almost made you dizzy.

"Yeonjun's room is being renovated, didn't he tell you that?" A voice mocked you from behind.

Taehyun was now leaning against the door frame -now fully dressed- and drying his hair with a hand towel.

You wanted to cry. You knew that this proposition was too good to be true. Breaking down over a trashed room was childish but anyone in your place would feel the same way. Everything was getting on your nerves.

There was no way you could sleep in the living room too, your fingers were already numb and your throat felt scratchy.

"I'm gonna kill him," You muttered under your breath before taking your bag and making your way to the exit only to be stopped by Taehyun midway.

"Hey I can't let you leave. Yeonjun would kill me, also not to forget you are sort of homeless aren't you?" He said raising a hand.

Your eyes widened. So he knew, great.

The last thing you wanted to be infront of him was vulnerable and embarrassed, but here you were.

As much as you hated to admit it, he was right you didn't have any other choice.

"So where will I sleep?" You asked raising an eyebrow, refusing to admit defeat.

"In there," Taehyun replied pointing to his bedroom.

"No way I'm sharing a bed with you. You pervert, " You answered him in disbelief.

But the thing was even though you hated Taehyun, you knew that he won't make a move on you without consent.

Deep down you still trusted him.

You, Yeonjun and Taehyun went way back. They were the first two people you ran into on your first day of college, when you were a naive, insecure friendless student. They were the ones who took you in and made you feel welcomed.

"Oh no, You'll take the floor," Taehyun answered bringing you back to reality.

What?

You stared at him blankly as he broke out in a fit of laughter.

"God it feels so good to have the upper hand," He continued.

Suddenly the thought of walking home alone and witnessing your roommate doing the dirty didn't phase you anymore.

So once more you picked your stuff and started walking towards the door when you felt Taehyun grab you wrist.

You'd had enough. Fuck avoiding him.

"What the hell do you want Taehyun. I've already had a crappy day as it is, spent my entire day searching a useless manuscript for that Professor dimwit, ran two fucking stations only to miss my bus home and walked here in this freezing weather with people sucking off each other's face all around me. So No, I don't have the energy to deal with your petty humiliations. Let go." You turned around lashing at him.

Your fists were bawled and your lips quivered. Taehyun always worked you up, he made you feel weak and vulnerable and you hated him for that.

Something changed in Taehyun's expression and his eyes softened. He loosened his hold on your wrist as you pulled it away from him.

"You can take the room. I didn't plan on sleeping there anyways, got some assignments to finish," Taehyun finally spoke up, his voice soft and laced with guilt.

You stared at him for a minute too long and then without saying another word you made your way to the room and shut it behind you.

You sunk down on the floor, once inside.

Grabbing a fistful of your hair you let out a shaky breath.

This wasn't fair. While the rest of the world was busy celebrating love and happiness with their significant others, you were left here moping in the bedroom of the boy, one you managed to successfully detach and despise in your mind for almost a year now.

The reason you were so hostile towards Taehyun wasn't because he was sort of pretentious or his face was too annoyingly perfect, it wasn't because he was so calm in situations where one shouldn't be.

The true reason was that Taehyun made you feel things that you would never allow yourself to feel.

Everything thing he used to do drove you wild. Made your heartbeat like crazy whenever he was around you, the touch of his hands, the small comforting smiles which adorned his face when your eyes met.

You were always rational with your love life, never reaching for places you couldn't but Taehyun was an exception.

He led you on, starred in all your hopeful fantasies and dreams but then left one day only to leave them shattered on the ground.

"Y/n I think you've got it wrong. It's best for us to remain friends don't you think? Best friends can't hurt each other,"

Except Taehyun was wrong. Best friends can hurt each other, they can leave scars which can take ages to heal. Those words still haunted you to this day.

He had rejected you that day.

But it wasn't the response that upset you the most, it was the shitty excuse he gave you, because the promise to remain friends was just as difficult. You could never look at him the same way again, the pain eventually grew into hatred and here you were now.

Holding back tears, you finally looked around the room. Nothing had changed since the last time you've been here, Taehyun had always been a pretty minimalistic person. Everything felt the same except for two photo frames which were placed on his bedside table.

You went up and examined the two pictures closely. One was of the day when Yeonjun, Taehyun and you decided to take a spontaneous road trip to your home town. A smile spread across your lips as you recalled the happy memories.

However it was the second picture which earned a gasp from you. In it, you were shoving a handful of Chocolates into Taehyun's mouth laughing while he looked at the camera with mischievous eyes, hands wrapped around your arms.

You couldn't understand why Taehyun would still keep this picture with him, nevertheless framed and on his bed side table.

Before you could think about anything else, you felt a knock on the door. Startled you dropped the frame on the bed and went ahead to open it.

Taehyun stood there in front of you, holding a jumper in his hands.

"I have to grab some books and here, I figured you would be cold," His expression still apologetic.

His hair was messy and a hint of sleepiness evident in his eyes.

You took the sweater from him and moved to the side to let him in.

Your heart skipped a beat when you brought the jumper closer to your face. It smelled like him.

"I'm sorry Y/n. I acted like an asshole earlier," Taehyun said minutes after, eyes still settled on his giant bookshelf.

For a moment you didn't know how to respond but then you spoke,

"I'm sorry too for lashing out on you, it's just today's been a pain in the ass for me,"

As you were speaking you realised, how much time it had been since the two of you spoke without bickering, let alone apologize to each other.

"I thought you'd probably be out tonight celebrating," He continued now looking at you.

You scoffed at this.

"My love life has been in shambles since forever," you replied letting out a pathetic laugh.

Since you.

"Same for me, if that makes anything better,"

Even though the three of you did not hang out together anymore. Yeonjun always used to give you updates on Taehyun's life even though you pretended not to care.

You had no idea where this conservation was leading. At any moment you could ask him to leave, but there was piece of you that wanted him to stay just like it did a year ago.

"Actually I- uh got something to give you, just a second," Taehyun said abruptly before leaving the room.

He exited the room in such a hurry that you didn't even have time to process what he said.

Something for you? What could it be? The thumping of your heart making it hard to concentrate on anything.

The door opened again and this time Taehyun returned with a mug in his hand.

He stood beside you next to the bed and placed the mug in your hands.

"What's this?" You asked him, puzzled.

"I know the circumstances aren't the best but I couldn't break the promise," Taehyun replied, his expression soft and a little embarrassed.

You still couldn't get it.

"I can't cook or bake to save my life so here's some hot chocolate instead....Happy Valentines Day Y/n."

That's when it hit you. A few years ago you and Taehyun had made a made a pact with each other, for every valentine's if either of you were single or sulky the other person's job would be to look out for them and cook them a 'comfort' food of their choice.

Taehyun remembered. Of course he did, that explains that picture he kept on his nightstand.

You were overwhelmed to say the least.

"Hopefully this makes everything just a bit better," Taehyun finished off.

That's when you heard your own sniffs and felt a tear running down your cheek.

Taehyun looked at you with a panicked expression as he sat beside you and opened his mouth to say something but you cut him off.

"I can't do this anymore Taehyun, it's too unbearable. I did everything to get over this Despised you, avoided you but I'm just so weak. I'm pathetic," Even though your vision was blurry, you could still clearly see Taehyun's sculpted face in front of you.

It was pathetic really. The facade you managed to pull off for so long came undone the moment he confronted you.

Beomgyu and Jeongin would probably laugh their heads off and label you a loser if they ever got to know about this.

But Taehyun pulled you into a hug, his warm embrace enveloping the whole of you.

"Don't say that, I hurt you and it's my fault. I was a coward Y/n, I didn't want to ruin or complicate things but it only caused pain for both of us,"

He pulled back to face you.

"I know I can't ever make up for the things I said that day, but- fuck it I miss you. There are so many things I want to say that I couldn't back then but most importantly Y/n I- I love you."

Although your mind was an emotional mess. Hearing those three words from Taehyun made the butterflies in your stomach wild. The school girl crush, the giddy feeling you felt everytime Taehyun was near you returned.

"Same," you blurted out meekly not trusting yourself to form coherent sentences.

This earned a wide grin from Taehyun, giving a perfect view of his pearly white teeth and adorable eye whiskers.

He placed a hand on your cheek, wiping the tears and then leaned in dangerously close.

"May I?" He whispered against you lips and without thinking twice you smashed your them against his. This exact moment, you dreamt of it countless time. Being in Taehyun's arms was something you thought you could only see in your dreams. Actually you still weren't sure if this all was real or you were just lost in another dreamland. .

"I've missed you so much y/n oh my god" Taehyun breathed against your lips.

What eventually started soft and slow turned hot and steamy in a matter of seconds. Hands roaming all over and your entire body melting into his.

When Taehyun slipped his hands under your jumper to take it off you suddenly pulled away from him, breaking the kiss.

"What happened, did I do something wrong?" Taehyun asked with a worried look.

You shook your head quickly and pointed to the mug now placed on the nightstand.

"The hot chocolate will get cold," You replied.

Hearing this, Taehyun visibly relaxed and entwined his fingers with yours.

"I can make you a thousand cups of hot chocolate later but right now let's focus on us," He said in a deep voice, laying you down further on the bed.

"Am I really going to get laid with Kang Taehyun on fucking Valentine's day? Past us would be cringing so hard," You teased him further.

Taehyun replied by burying his face in your neck.

"Happy Valentines Day baby. Lets believe in love again."

The next day when you woke up to a naked Taehyun sleeping peacefully beside you. You had to pinch yourself to convince yourself that this wasn't a dream.

Never in a million years you thought such a disastrous day could have such a perfect ending.

Taking a sip of the cold chocolate milk from the night before, you started down at his beautiful face.

He gently stirred beside you, eyes opening slowly.

"Good morning, you're real" He speaks in a hoarse voice, eyelids still heavy with sleep.

"Yes Tyun, I am" You smiled at his cute state.

Taehyun pulled you closer to his side and whispered in your hair, "Did I tell you, you make all my problems go away"

"Speaking of problems-" You started but were cut off by the loud bang of a door opening.

"Hey Taehyun, Did Y/n come here- WHAT THE FUCK MY POOR EYES. DO YOU TWO NOT KNOW THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS HOUSE" Yeonjun screamed covering his eyes.

You giggled at Yeonjun's mortifying reaction and slipped yourself deeper into the sheets.

"You're the one walking in without knocking, get the fuck out yeonjun" Taehyun screamed back, throwing a pillow at his direction.

Forces of Attraction

genre: smut, college au

Pairing: physics tutor! taehyun x reader

Warnings: sub! taehyun, dom! reader, blow job, riding, titty and bicep sucking lmfao, taehyun so whiney you can’t convince me otherwise his voice was made to whine

Word count: 1.1k

“I’m literally going to fail physics at this rate. I just don’t get this section at all!” You complain to your friend yoon who pats your back.

“Why don’t you ask for help then?”

“I literally went to my lecturer and told them I did not understand at all, he just said to look at my textbook and past lecture recordings. I even tried to watch videos online but I just don’t get it!” You groan.

“Why don’t you ask kang taehyun?” Yoon gives you a knowing smirk, pointing to the pink haired man sitting down below, headphones in and studying.

Kang taehyun was the smartest guy in your physics class, quiet, intimidating, cute-you found him so attractive. Problem is, you’ve never uttered a single word to him. “No I’m not gonna ask him! He’ll know I’m dumb then!”

“He doesn’t even know you since you never even speak to him. Also why not? I heard he tutors and he’s really good.”

“He does?”

“Yeah. And then you’ll have an excuse to talk to him!”

“Hmm. Maybe I will sometime…”

“Go, go, go!” Yoon pushes you in his direction before you have a chance to speak, attracting his attention as he looks up at you who had just appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

You just stare at him awkwardly for a bit before you decide to speak, scratching the back of your head, “Uh…Hello! I’m y/n. I heard you tutor? Will you be able to tutor me I’m having trouble understanding this particular topic…”

You’ll make sure Yoon pays for this, you can see here giggling to the side, enjoying your pain.

“Sure. Give me your number and we’ll set a date and time.”

∘ ༺ ☆༻ ∘

Taehyun opens the door at your arrival and you try not to let your mouth drop to the ground. He was wearing a tank top and sweat pants, exposing his muscles and he looked so incredibly fine.

“Oh I just came back from the gym.” Taehyun says, seemingly noticing your prolonged stare.

“Oh. Cool.” You clear your throat and try to seem unaffected.

“Okay, so what do you understand about quantum physics? Tell me what you already know. Do you understand Schrödinger’s wave equation?”

“Uhhh…I don’t understand absolutely anything from the topic.”

“So you don’t even get the two slit experiment?”

“Um…”

“It’s okay! we’ll just start from the very start.”

∘ ༺ ☆༻ ∘

“So the right hand side of this equation is known as a linear combination of the vectors r1 and r2. The particular points to take away from this is that combining vectors produces other vectors, analogous to our observation above that combining states produces other states, and that the components a and b are a measure of how much of r1 and r2 respectively go towards making up the vector r. Do you get that?”

You were getting some of it albeit still hurting your brain and after an hour, you just needed a small break. He was pretty good at tutoring. It got hard trying to focus sometimes though when he was so good looking. Also, damn that tank top he was wearing.

“It’s making sense. Could we take a break though?”

“Yeah of course. What do you wanna do intead?”

You look down at his pretty lips, not realising how long you zone out because of them. He seems to notice, suddenly becoming a bit shy, ears turning the shade of his hair. But he tries to ignore it, clearing his throat.

He’d seen you ogle at him a bit more than once this whole session and it made him want to scream and run out, trying to act calm when really he was squirming at your gaze.

Truthfully, he actually knew who you were before you asked him. He’d always see you in class, in the library, around campus laughing with your friends, at parties making out with people on multiple occasions and he had a pretty big crush on you. You were pretty hot. He looks down at your lips too for a second.

“I think…we should make out.” You drawl out, a bit lower.

“I-I-uh-”

it’s the first time you’ve ever heard taehyun’s usually stoic self stammer and look so nervous. You couldn’t help yourself, leaning forwards to cup his cheek and pressing your lips on his. He reciprocates, kissing back with so much eagerness and neediness.

You pull away for a second, string of saliva between the both of you and he whines at the loss of contact, so prettily. You dive back into his mouth, biting and pulling at his bottom lip, causing him to whimper, then attaching your wet lips to his pretty and bare neck, marking them with pinky-purple bruises. He whines again even louder. You love his sounds, wanting to hear more of them.

You move to his sweatpants with his dick that was literally bulging, taking his flushed pink cock out.

“Can I?” You ask and he nods repeatedly. So you move your head down, wrapping him around your wet lips. He squeezes his eyes shut, high pitched whines eliciting from him.

“So cute. Whiney baby.” He only whines out your name in response and you chuckle at him.

“What do you want? Wanna be fucked?”

“Yeah…”

“Say please.”

“Please y/n.” He was so pliant you loved it.

You hover over him, taking his dick into your hands and rubbing it against your folds instead, continuously dragging the head over you but not putting it in and he just whines at you.

You finally take his fat cock, placing it at your entrance and slowly sinking down on it, he balls his hands into little fists against your side, hissing slightly as you start fucking him. You roll and move your hips around against his, riding him at a feverishly fast speed and you can feel his dick twitching inside you.

“Hey! you can’t cum yet. Maybe I should be teaching you instead.” You stop your movements.

“Sorry…”

You begin again, bouncing up and down on him even faster, his body trembling like a leaf beneath you, sweet and high pitched noises frequenting his mouth. You lean, picking up one of his arms, sucking little kisses into his biceps before you move his tank top to the side, sucking on his nipples instead and he whimpers and whines.

“I really need to cum now y/n please-ah!”

“Cum for me then.”

He whines out even louder than you think possible, eyes closed and his mouth opening wide in pleasure, you can feel his hot cum filling you up. He gasps, sweaty, face and chest matching his pretty hair.

“Maybe we should do some work now”

But you’re thinking of maybe another round. Or two. You don’t end up getting much tutoring done in the end but you have plenty of time to make up for it with your cute new tutor. And a lot of something else as well.

PLEASE actually reblog!!!! and comment!!!!!if you like the fic. It’s really appreciated and nice if you do tysm !<3🙏💕😊 It’s discouraging when fics have such little reblogs 👎🤨

happy birthday to our beloved tyunie <3

this is also dedicated to Fall my love for being absolutely supportive and excited when she heard i was writing again after a long time (*ˊᵕˋ*)

ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭ feedback is encouraged * ੈ♡‧₊˚

Kang Taehyun, a man who was logical and talented in many ways, always somehow managed to surprise you with new information, be it trivial information about the sun or matter-of-fact conversations of kinks; your boyfriend somehow managed to make you feel dumb for being surprised when he mentioned being an exhibitionist, it’s been something he wants to try for a while now.

Something you’ve been hesitant to agree to.

Although, it’d be a lie to say the thought of being watched hasn’t crossed your mind on several occasions whenever the two of you fucked since then.

Taehyun knew it, too, the way you’d squeeze tightly around the base of his cock before coming undone whenever he mentioned being watched and calling you a slut for enjoying every bit of it.

“my pretty little slut, enjoys the thought of being watched while I fuck this tight hole of hers,” he says through harsh thrusts; a heavy cry of pleasure fills the room as you grip the sheets beneath you cumming around his cock.

Taehyun’s hips rut relentlessly into yours, helping you through your high.

“ng- tae please,” tears threatening to spill from overstimulation,

“imagine what others would think if they saw me fuck you this good in bed, love” he leans down to kiss away your tears. His word was self-indulgent, but he knew you liked it from the way you squeezed against his throbbing length

“fuck—”

Taehyun was also close, his thrusting pattern getting sloppier with each stroke.

“what would others say if they saw your pretty little cunt filled up to the brim with cum” you quickly came around him for the second time milking his full length as he let out his load in you seconds later.

“You’re so pretty,” Taehyun watches your fucked out expression

“now, if only there were an audience,” you whine in embarrassment, hating that he knew you liked the thought by the way you clench around him so well.

“It’s okay, princess,” kissing your forehead before pulling out.

The loss of him left you feeling empty, hole gaping at nothing with only cum spilling out of you.

“open wide,” he says, collecting his essence mixed with yours in his fingers before fucking it into your mouth. Moaning at the taste as Taehyun watches you lick his digits clean.

“You’re such slut, you know that?” he taunts, smiling when you nod. He leans down again, kissing you to taste what’s left on your lips.

It's been a while since you last saw Taehyun, now that they're busy with promotions. But by some miracle, the boys had the weekend off, meaning you'd get to see each other knowing your boyfriend would prioritize you.

Just as you arrive at their dorms, loud screams can be heard from outside. There's never a day where nothing is going on in the tubatu dorms, and Tachyun's birthday was no exception.

"y/n, y/n, y/n" Kai exclaims, running behind you.

Apparently, Beomgyu thought it'd be a great idea to wake Taehyun up by giving him birthday punches and roped Huening in, only to abandon him inside the moment he realized it no longer was.

Caught between the two, Taehyun quickly pulls you in for a hug, kissing the top of your head.

"Good morning, Tyun," you greet with a smile as he trades spots with you, trapping the maknae.

"Good morning, my love."

A scream from Kai quickly ensues as Taehyun takes care of him

"Hey, yIn" the rest say as you make your way to the living room where they were.

Yeonjun and Soobin are preoccupied in the kitchen cooking something up while Beomgyu having the time of his life seeing Kai struggle against your boyfriend.

“You're so evil for that" you tell him, taking a seat on their couch.

"It's what he gets for tricking me last time" he defends, snapping a photo you were sure he'd use for one of their birthdays on Twitter.

"Hey, you're going with us for dinner tonight, right?" Beomgyu asks

Taehyun mentioned last night how Gyu booked a fancy restaurant as his birthday gift.

"Yeah, it's for 9, right?"

"Yeah"

"Okay, perfect, we'll be sure to make it there."

"You guys better. The deposit was insane," Beomgyu emphasized the insane.

That's when Soobin and Yeonjun make their way over with some breakfast enough for everyone, saving you from having to hear Beomgyu's monologue.

"So where are you two love birds going" Yeonjun inquires, plopping by your side as he takes a spoon full of food.

"That's a surprise for only him to know."

"And what's this surprise of yours?" asks Taehyun, done dealing with Kai. Fully dressed up from head to two, ready to leave.

I’ll tell you when we go."

“We can leave now" he suggests taking your hand in his, eager to finally be with you after so long.

Bidding the boys goodbye, you wrap your arms around Taehyuns shoulders, bringing him down to you as soon as you are out the door.

"I thought about it for a while now," you say, leaning in,

"and I want to do it."

Taehyun knew exactly what you were pinning at, smiling widely at your response, excited for what’s to come.

It's been hours since the two of you arrived at the hotel you booked for the both of you, finally giving in to his desires.

Pressed against a glass window hole stuffed with cum now dripping down your thighs, pooling where you stand. You clench against nothing, missing the way you felt earlier, stuffed full with his thick cock stretching you beyond imagination.

"H-How much longer?" panting in between words.

Looking at Taehyun's reflection he quirked a brow, getting down on his knees between your legs,

"Longer?" kisses the swell on your ass before giving it a hard smack. "Baby, we just started," you whimper at his words, anticipating what he'd do.

Prodding at your messy entrance with two fingers, he scooped up his remaining essence smearing it all over your overly sensitive clit, smiling proudly at how your body reacted to his touches.

You looked beautiful, all fucked out, with hazy eyes and breathy moans fogging up the window in front. He wondered just how pretty you looked from outside your room for those watching the show going up in here.

The thought of your fucked out expression visibly seen through the looking glass as he fucks you mercilessly against it got him hard.

"Baby, I need you to do something for me," he says, pulling you down to your knees, a quick kiss on your lips as he gets up, standing at his full height. You were met with his hardened length.

"put on your best show for those watching, yeah?" he makes a makeshift ponytail guiding your face to his fat cock. Taehyun hissed when he saw you kiss his tip, looking up at him with your pretty eyes, mouth slightly agape, watching you leave kitten licks at his slit. It took a lot in him not to shove his entire length down your throat.

Gripping the base of his cock with your hands, you slowly worked your way down, leaving a trail of kisses alongside his thick vein.

"Fuck pretty, tease me any longer, and I might have to show them how well you can take my dick down your throat"

the heat between your thighs ached at the thought of it, squeezing them together for some sort of release.

Taehyun noticed and immediately shoved your knees apart, causing his length to smack your face as you grip onto his thighs for balance.

The sheer stretch of your pussy on display earned a long whine from you. He grips your head, pulling it back to his cock, tapping your lips to open up.

Taehyun guides his tip slowly, easing it into the warmth of your appendage, moaning loudly as your tongue works on the underside. He watches carefully, seeing you steadily breathe in through your nose, proud at how well you're taking him inch by inch.

"such a good girl.." the burning stretch you feel as your throat incases his thick length has tears spilling through your lashes. It was difficult to regulate your breaths as Taehyun tugged on your hair, pushing you past your limits.

"fuck, so so pretty baby," he groaned, looking down at you struggling to take all of him in, his other hand caressing you lovingly, encouraging you to take the rest. You relax your throat, allowing your jaw to adjust to his size and in one breath, you shove the rest down, nose touching the hilt of his abdomen.

Taehyun basks at this new sensation of your tight throat constricting around his entire length. He holds you there to adjust, hand still gripping your makeshift ponytail, taking in this moment. You looked absolutely beautiful, mouth stuffed with his fat cock, tears pooling from your pretty eyes, god he could release himself right there and have you choke on his cum.

But he won't.

You involuntarily gag around his length just as you are about to relax, causing him to buck into your mouth, eliciting a long moan.

"You ready, pretty?" he asks, earning a slight nod from you.

"Remember, pinch my thigh if it's too much, and well stop. Got it?"

You hummed around his cock in response, knowing your reward was near for being a good girl for him.

Taehyun shallowly fucks your face, lewd sounds quickly filling the room mixed with his moans as you continuously gag around his fat cock.

Globs of saliva pool around his shaft, dripping down your neck as he draws half his length out before roughly thrusting it back in.

The ache between your thighs grows with no method of temporary relief. Every short thrust has you gasping for air, Taehyun relentlessly fucking your face for release, as your pussy clenches onto nothing, only wanting to be stuffed full by his fat cock.

His hip bucks against your face, holding you in place, his full length down your throat throbbing violently.

Taehyun's hands find new purchase now, threading his fingers through your scalp- gripping you as he bends over. He was so fucking close, so so so close.

A throaty groan elicits from Taehyun as he cums inside, gasping at the way you choke around it, violently tapping his thighs to let you go. he pulls your face off his shaft, smiling that he just did that to you.

Watching you gasp for air and not spill one bit of his cum, lavishing at its taste, you stuck your tongue out to show him all of it was still there. Taehyun threw his head back at the sight of his essence pooling around your pretty mouth, earning you another loud moan from him.

"Can you swallow all that for me, love?" pulling your face closer by your chin. You nod eagerly, hands gripping hip thighs, maintaining eye contact as you close your mouth, swallowing everything. You stick your tongue out, showing him it's gone, waiting to expect. Taehyun lovingly pats your head, helping you back up to your feet.

The burning feeling of being on your knees for so long as you fall over; luckily, Taehyun has a good hold on your body. He presses you against the large glass, breast on full display clingy onto the new surface in front to see the view below; a couple of figures are clearly watching.

Your pussy gushes over nothing, and trails of your arousal fall to the floor. You were wetter than Taehyun anticipated, palming your slick folds.

"Looks like we got a few onlookers after your little act," he whispers into the crock of your neck, nipping at your flesh, leaving marks.

"Taehyun.. please, I can't any longer," you beg, attempting but failing to grip onto him.

He tugs your arms, locking them firmly against the window, with his chest pressing closely to your back.

His shaft shallowly fucking between your thighs, growing harder with each thrust knowing there'sthere's an audience below actively watching your every move.

"Shall we give them a finale?"

Arousal pooling at your core; you needed anything at this point.

"fuck, yes, anything... please!"

In a matter of seconds, Taehyun aligns himself at your slick folds, brutally trusting his entire length in one stroke to the base of his fat cock. The stinging stretch around his cock has you screaming in pleasure, finally being stuffed full.

"show them how good I make you feel, princess" rutting his hips into your cunt repeatedly, abusing your cervix.

You could barely see anything below, with tears blurring your vision.

Did someone just pull out their phone?

"fuck Tae-" you whine between heavy thrusts, legs shaking, barely able to hold yourself up any longer; having Taehyun use your hole on display for those watching below has your gummy walls clenching around him tighter.

"You like that, you slut," teeth gritting at each word, fucking you faster, "your cunt on display for everyone to see how well you take my fat cock being fucked against this window," you cry at the filth leaving his lips.

"Please." you're so close, begging him for release, eyes flying shut at the familiar feeling building at your core.

"fuck pretty, squeezing me so tightly you're gonna cum, yeah?" he grunts, finding purchase on your hips and ramming into you.

"gonna cum in front of all these people around my cock."

you squeeze his shaft crying as you come undone, panting heavily while he rides your high between your slick folds. Squelching sounds merging with your moans have Taehyun losing it. His rhythm falters at each mewl earned by you.

"All most there pretty," he groans, knowing you were spent the way you fall limp in his arms after multiple rounds. A few more trusts have Taehyun bottoming out, releasing his thick load inside; you cry at its warmth.

"You did so well," he praises, leaving loving kisses along your back, using his strength to hold you up.

Gently removing his length, you whine at the loss of him.

"Shh, I know, I know," he coos, attentive to how sensitive you are at the moment, watching you flinch as his essence runs down your thigh.

"Tyun.." you call out

"what is it love?"

"wanna lay down."

"of course, anything for you"

He carefully lifts you up, placing your body on the bed nearby. Lavishing against the cool sheets beneath, you watch as your boyfriend leaves your side, returning with a damp towel to clean you up.

"baby." you call out, beckoning for him once he finished.

Taehyun smiles, loving how needy you are after sex.

"What is it, my love?"

Carefully engulfing you in his arms, you look up at him loving reaching for his face and pressing your lips on his.

"Happy birthday Taehyun. I love you.

"I love you more," he says, bringing the covers over your bodies.

"Now get some rest." kissing the top of your head

"What about tonight?"

Taehyun tells you not to worry, rather lulling you to sleep. He didn't want you to exert yourself after all that.

Besides, he'd rather spend the rest of his night with you.

"EH?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN CAN'T MAKE IT??"

Beomgyu's loud voice echoes throughout the dorm, Zooming over to the living room where the rest of the boys are.

Taehyun texted saying something happened to y/n about her not feeling well," Soobin responds, looking back at the excuse your boyfriend sent.

Kai looked worried, wondering what could've happened for you to feel unwell when you were fine early.

"| hope she's alright..." he says, looking over at his members.

Beomgyu was distraught, wondering what would come of his deposit at the restaurant. Soobin was unbothered that dinner was cancelled, while Yeonjun's eyes were glued to his phone.

"Do you think she's okay, hyung?" Kai inquires, Soobin shrugs giving a dunno' look. While Yeonjun remained silent.

"Do you think something happened while they were on their date? Like she suddenly got hurt?"

Kai nudges Junie with his leg, curious as to what kept him preoccupied for him to not care.

Typically Yeonjun was the first to ask all the questions.

"Hm?" it was clear he paid no mind to what was being asked. Rather distracted by what was playing on his screen.

On it was a low-quality video of a woman being fucked against a window from above.

apparently it was trending all over twitter.

taehyun loved many things.

he loved when he'd wake up without setting an alarm in the morning. just by feeling the warm sun rays caressing his cheeks softly and signaling the beginning of a brand new day.

he loved to go on a walk during those mornings. he'd happily put on his running shoes and favorite pair of sweats and go on a long walk alongside the han river. he'd stretch his vision far beyond the waters and gaze at the tall buildings littering the city that look like small figurines from afar.

on days where he wouldn't feel like going on a walk, he'd love to hit the gym. boxing being one of the things that kept him alive, as he'd say. he'd just stand in front of the sandbag and take off all the stress from his body. losing himself in the moment and letting his mind take control, finding his peace with each throw of his arms.

there was another way for taehyun to find his peace. another reason for him to just be a drowning mess in his own feelings. something, or rather, someone whose smile was enough to make him forget about any minor inconveniences he may meet in his life.

you.

he wanted to experience everything with you. he wanted to wake up in the morning with you, go on walks with you, work out and finish his day with you by his side. because out of all the things he loved, you were his favorite.

he loved you so much but he never found the good timing to confess. it was tragic, because with each day, his heart would tighten more inside his chest at how down bad he was for you. how you smiled, how you talked about what excited you and especially how you treated him.

taehyun was humbled by how you treated him and how you respected him. how you always made him your priority in your every day life. when you’d be around people, he’d be the only one to steal your gaze, your breath and all of your attention.

in your darkest nights, when nobody was around, you would call each other on the phone and talk about everything and nothing. he was your source of comfort as much as you were his.

when deep breaths are mingled and long sighs are shared, taehyun would know, again and again that he was head over heals in love with you.

“do you wanna go for a walk?” he whispered through the phone, breathing slowly, afraid to disturb the calmness of the moment if he ever let out a sound.

you pulled your phone away for a second to check what time it was, before quickly placing it on your ear, afraid to miss any words coming from him. “right now?”

“yes, i feel a tightness in my chest. i wanna breathe some fresh air.”

taehyun would rather just confess right now. he would rather admit to you right this second that his heart was full to the brim of feelings for you, and if he stayed like this any longer it would overflow and he might not be able to control himself around you.

“really? is it that bad?” you worried about him. you have never heard him say something like that. taehyun was always healthy, never the type to get sick or feel anxious if anything happened. his feelings and emotions would always be calculated, his entire life was planned. if anything would ever happen, he’d be prepared for it right that second.

“nothing a small night walk with you can’t fix,” he responded. and you could hear a hint of a smile under his breath. “i’ll be there in fifteen. dress warm and wait for me, okay?”

“okay,” you shared a long breath before you ended the call.

the thing was, you were so infatuated with taehyun that anything he did made your heart swarm with butterflies and to say that you were nervous was a understatement. your fingers trembled as you put on your coat and a large wool scarf around your neck.

and you waited.

at the fifteen minute mark, he sent you a message that he was outside your door and you took a second to regain your composure before you went out to him.

if i were to describe anything specific that happened in that moment, it’d be how taehyun’s pupils widened when his gaze landed on you, followed by a big and bright smile.

“hi,” he almost choked on his breath, opening his arms wide for you to be engulfed in his hug.

“hi,” your voice was muffled by his coat, your breath softly and sneakily hitting the sweetest spot in his neck and the hug went a bit tighter than normal. you didn’t complain, you let him squeeze you in his arms, no words shared, except for your heartbeats.

once you pulled away from him, he didn’t seem like he wanted to let go of your warmth any time sooner, so he quickly grabbed your arm and linked it with his.

“it’s a great night,” taehyun spoke and you didn’t miss how his head lifted towards the sky, eyes big and shining.

“look!” you pointed out, excitement bubbling in your chest. “the sky is full of stars!”

he instantly followed your pointer finger before averting his gaze down to catch your big smile, always mesmerized at your antics. you loved the stars, you loved gazing at the stars with taehyun.

you loved everything you did with him.

“they’re twinkling like crazy!” you breathed out, almost knocking taehyun to the side at how excited you were.

“do you know that stars don’t actually twinkle?” he asked, deep voice cutting through the air and awakening butterflies to go crazy in your belly.

“facts time with taehyun, we love,” you joked and he laughed with you.

“i think it’s something that should be common to know. they just appear to be twinkling because of some turbulence in the earth’s atmosphere. when the light of a star passes through the atmosphere, it goes through the many layers of it, each layer has its own density. so when the light travels through them, it deflects according to each layer so our eyes catch it as if they’re twinkling. but they’re not.”

taehyun explained as you walked by each other’s side, bodies occasionally bumping into each other as he still had his arm secured around yours. as he talked, he tried to convey his words into movements too so he kept moving his free arm around and flailing it up into the air to point out at the sky.

you hummed as you watched him. dazzled by the way the corners of his eyes crinkled with each tug of his smooth mouth.

“i’d still like to believe that they twinkle.”

your simple answer was too cute for taehyun to handle. but he tried to ground himself.

a few more minutes passed as you kept walking around the park, until you found a small bench surrounded by many cute flowers that bloomed in winter. without turning to say anything, taehyun knew that you wanted to take a little break. and it was an opportunity for him as well to take in everything that was happening around him.

you and him, and the stars.

as you sat down, you had the dark canvas of the sky dotted with a plethora of stars in front of you and it was a moment worth millions of bucks. you guys kept quiet for a moment, silence lingering around over tongue tied words that were dying to come into life. hearts melting and flooding your entire bodies with uncontrollable emotions. you knew each other too well to recognize the meaning behind your silence.

it’s been happening a lot lately, the fact that you would go silent a lot when you’d be together. it’s been happening ever since you blindly started falling for each other. none of you was able to break the curse of silence, but right now, taehyun have had enough.

“i love being with you,” he didn’t stutter as he said those words and you didn’t dare to look at him, afraid to morph into a blushing mess under his scrutinizing gaze.

“me too,” you whispered, not quite trusting your voice. out of the anxiousness, you started tapping on his knee, as if you were creating a melody that went in sync with your tumbling heart.

taehyun didn’t miss the chance to put his icy fingers over yours, wrapping your entire hand in his. his touch was delicate, therapeutic even. it was soft and you liked the feeling of it.

he took a deep breath before sitting straight and turning to you. you bit on the inside of your bottom lip, your heart beating like crazy.

“look at me, would you?” he chuckled, using his free hand to grab your chin lightly, tipping your head towards his direction.

when your eyes met, everything stopped. and you immediately discovered that there was another thing that twinkled just like the stars, or even better; his eyes. but only when he was looking at you.

“i’ve been keeping my feelings inside my chest for so long that it started to hurt. and though this is as cliché as it’s gonna get, but i believe that you accepting my love is the only thing that could heal me.”

you couldn’t talk upon hearing his sincere words, tears quickly glossing over your eyes. your body was floating on cloud nine and you have never imagined that he was going to confess one day.

“i know that what i’m feeling inside my heart is not something to be taken lightly. and i know that i’m not imagining scenarios in my head. your body language is a great enough sign that my feelings are reciprocated. over the months of discovering the sweet taste of falling for you, i couldn’t but feel the bitterness of not being able to confess to you any time sooner. not because i was not confident enough to do so, but just because i wanted to see how things are going to develop and i wouldn’t have been able to survive if you rejected me. so i kept my feelings shadowed, hinting at them with any action i did around you and your responses were always positive. the way you smiled at me longer than anybody else, the way you always thought of me first in whenever plans you made, the way your body naturally leans towards me…everything you did and still do gave me the strength to hold onto my feelings, and to love you even more each day.”

at this point, tears were silenty streaming down your face. you couldn’t believe your ears and your fingers were getting a cramp under his touch for not receiving enough blood flow in them. you took a shuddering breath, just like someone who was drowning and suddenly got pulled out onto the shoreline.

taehyun brought his fingers to your face, wiping away the tears that were blocking him from seeing your smile.

“i would be the happiest version of myself you’ve seen until now if you accept to be my girlfriend and i promise i’ll love you and take care of you just like how you deserve.”

“taehyun oh my god,” you cried and he quickly took you in for a hug. “i love you so much and i love myself when i’m with you. thank you for taking it slow and not rushing into anything, thank you for respecting my boundaries and giving me the chance to explore my feelings towards you before you made a move.” you sniffled as you confessed in the embrace of his arms, his hand softly caressing your shoulder and back as a form of comfort, to you and to himself.

he was so proud that you both could walk on a new path together, stoked to see what this adventure had in store for you. he was happy to be loved by someone like you and he made a simple promise to the stars that he’d always look out for you, always.

he gently peeled you off his body, keeping a close proximity of your faces. yours was flooding with tears and he couldn’t help but emit a small laugh. he wiped your face with his hands before he placed a soft peck on your forehead.

“don’t cry, please.”

“i’m crying happy tears, taehyun. i’m so happy i don’t think i’ll be able to stop crying.” you laughed, triggering another stream of happy tears to go down your cheeks.

his eyes teared up as he looked at you. and you saw stars inside them, more beautiful than the ones in the sky. and you wondered how many galaxies his eyes held.

“on a second thought, i’d like to take back what i said about stars. your eyes shine the most, taehyun and i’m so in love with you, your eyes, your lips, your hugs, you. just you and with everything that you are.”

“on a second thought, i don’t mind my eyes being compared to stars coming from you, and i don’t mind saying that the stars twinkle in the sky, as long as we are under it.”

“taehyun, i’m gonna kiss you,” you couldn’t control yourself and you didn’t wait for his answer before your lips crashed on top of his and a millions of fireworks bursted from your bodies.

that night, you and taehyun fell more in love with each other and the stars were the only witnesses.

a/n : hope you enjoyed this anon! 💘 tell me what you think through an ask, i’d LOVE to hear how this made you feel because it certainly made me hold my breath the entire time i was writing 😭 i’m so in love with taehyun i wanna be reader SO bad and kiss his lips and receive his hugs and be loved by him☹️☹️

—kang taehyun ; heart like a highway

a/n : [fem!reader] whoever said tae should get red hair needs their ass ate ASAP❗️❗️childhood best friend tae! un-established relationship! [may or may not be established at end smirk]

roses !

heart like a highway.

thats what he said. those five words echoed in your brain, and stuck themselves there. his rich, soothing, tender voice; sweet and smooth like honey.

you remember his plush, rosy lips create magical, ethereal melodies and every time he sung or even hummed, you swore you have goosebumps every time and is always yearning for more. a tune un-replaceable and bewitching.

he was like an artist sitting at your brain as a canvas. delicate strokes glide across the page. it feels like he always paints a beautiful, enticing masterpiece onto it when he sang.

let alone when he spoke.

he speaks with wisdom, compassion and grace.

you were on another rant about how your life was jam packed, and you really needed to just let it melt out. and taehyun being your reserved, childhood best friend and favourite listener, was there to listen to every detail and not get lost but instead took every word you said into deep thought.

"heart like a highway."

situated at your desk, staring into the slightly pixelated screen of taehyun's ceiling and his black hair slightly seeping into the screen.

eyes wide, lips ajar, trying to comprehend what he said.

"y/n?"

"hm?" snapping back into reality.

he chuckles.

"well, when your heart and mind is full, its like traffic. n' if you don't clear the traffic, your heart, or, "the highway" is just too full. and thats not good. its not really healthy. it interferes with a lot of other things that happen on the other side of the highway. y'know? sometimes you need a clean slate, and i know in your head your saying: "well how the heck do i do that.." well, i'm here. i'm here. to listen. "

he smiles, a lower angle of his face now more visible.

you were starstruck. oh, this man's way with his words. the way every word rolled of his tongue.

you could hear his black jacket shuffles around in the audio. then the door open. and the lock click.

"t- taehyun.. i-"

"its okay. don't worry about it."

"-thank you."

"i hope i can be the same for you. you know that, right?"

"of course."

silence.

"thank you so much, again."

"of course y/n, its fine. its what we do. were best friends. since birth. were the '4lifers', no?" he referenced to what you always called him.

"your apartment hallway isn't too warm, is it." he says, over call.

you smile as you rush to the door.

"yeah, i think my hug would be better."

a warm, shared embrace exchanges.

you felt a cold, plastic-y material ruffle behind you, and look back to see him hold out a bouquet of gorgeous, scarlet red roses. just for you.

"tae oh my gosh.. whats this for? i- i mean- first of all, these are absolutely stunning.. but- why?" he gently places the bouquet into your arms and holds out the small card attached to the core of the bouquet wrapping. it read;

"dear y/n. i would be more than happy to be that construction worker who gets rid of every dent and crack in that highway of yours, and clear up every inch of traffic till every car disappears.

in other words, i love you. will you be mine?"

tears brimming, you manage to wrap your arms around him and whisper under your breath-

"yes."

.. "yes, taehyun. of course. i love you too. i love you so, so so much."

he smiles.

~

When you return to your hometown, you don't tell anyone of your journey. 

Well, in ways, of course, you do. You must. People knew where you were going, knew the treasure that you sought—they knew you meant to find the rare dragon sands lost to legend hundreds of years ago or more. It would not have made sense if you'd come back, shimmering sand in tow, ready to be blown into the finest glass the world has ever known, and had no adventure in finding it. 

So you evade. Tell them bits and pieces, blather about the unimportant things—the price of supplies in surrounding villages, how green the forest leaves glinted under sunlight, the way the white sands of the beaches you crossed glowed in the pale of the moon. You tell them about towns they know, about some they do not know, and you tell them, of course, that you had a guide. 

"I would not have found the sands if not for him," you admit readily. "My journey would have been for naught, had I not found him first."

And so, there are questions about your guide that follow. Who was he, what was his name, how did he know the way to the dragon sands and why did he not come back with you? 

To all this you laugh, and smile, and give blithe answers away as though there is nothing to hide. A simple traveler of the winds, who gave you a name you could not pronounce (which is true—it was simply not the only name he gave). The path to the sands is one his family has known for generations. He would not have come, though you asked once. He has his own home on the winds, traveling where his fancy guides him—to the snow, to the sands, to the water, the trees. 

And all of this is true. None of it is a lie. Much easier to tell them this than, say, tell them that your guide was a dragon.

It's not as if they'd believe you, anyway. Dragons have been the stuff of legend for millennia—even more so than the sands you found, and the shimmering glass they make. No one believes they exist. You wouldn't have, if you had not met one yourself. Which is why you neglect to tell them this one detail, even though it forms the core of one man whom you've grown to care for deeply. 

Taehyun. You remember him every moment in your forge, with every bead of sweat that drips down your face. The fire in his eyes follows you in the flames that flicker and leap in your fireplace, the warmth of his laugh etched into every glass sculpture you create. You see him, the dragon you found and helped nurse back to health—you see him everywhere you go, though he has never once been here. 

On a dark night, the moon shining full in the sky, you find it in yourself to finally admit it, then. That you fell in love with a dragon. And that though you understand why he couldn't come with you—the same reason you couldn't stay with him—it still hurts to know that there could be nothing more of it.

It's not fair. Which is obvious—life isn't fair—but on nights like these where you miss Taehyun so much it feels like your breath is gone, you almost wish you hadn't gone on your search for the dragon sands. Almost is the key word, almost—because you know in your heart you never could have regretted meeting Taehyun, meeting a dragon and learning legends long lost to humans as you helped him in the ways you could to recover from the curse that had tried to eat away his soul. But if you'd never met him, never heard his voice, never saw his dark eyes under the light of the moon...

If you hadn't known what you were missing, at least you'd never have to mourn it.

But that sort of thinking isn't fair—not to Taehyun, and not to yourself. Which is why, in the morning, you go back to work as usual, and continue to find small comfort in your dragon's warmth everywhere you look. 

Until one morning under a cold, blue sky, when the wind blows so strongly that you crave the blazing heat of your forge as soon as you've forced yourself to climb out of bed. 

It was a day like this when you met the dragon who used to ride on the winds—no ice and snow, not just yet, but gales whipping you to and fro until you sought shelter in what you thought was an unoccupied cave. You smile a little at the memory, laughing at your fear when you realized the cave was not, in fact, unoccupied, and when you enter your forge the cold melts away and you get to work, toasty warm and safe from the chill. You haven't even been in there half an hour, though, before someone comes pounding at your door. 

"Y/N!" A pink-cheeked, breathless Huening Kai stands before you when you step outside. "Someone in the square is looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" You frown, trying to recall if you're expecting any guests. None that you can remember—it's getting too cold for travel, anyone who would have visited would have come in the warmer months. "Did they specifically ask for me? What was their name?"

"He didn't give a name, but he says he seeks the artisan who shaped dragon glass." Kai's eyes sparkle with interest, which is all that keeps you from shutting the door—too often, since you sold the first shimmering piece of glassware that sparkled like the first sun on snow after a blizzard, have you been besieged by those wanting to buy your little shop or try to pry the secret of the dragon sands from your lips. "He's not like the others, Y/N. He said you would know him."

Your frown deepens. Who would you know—

Oh. 

Oh.

You blink rapidly once, twice. Even with the chill of the air, something begins to warm in your stomach, in your chest—a reckless hope that grows against your will the longer you look at Kai. Because it can’t be him. There’s no way. 

And yet—

"You said he's in the square?"

You’ve thrown yourself into the cold wind almost before Kai has given you an answer.

The walk to the square is a short one, barely five minutes on a good day. In weather like this it's usually empty, and for good reason—you certainly wouldn't choose to if you didn't have to. But today, there are more people milling about than usual, fighting the sharp wind to gain a glimpse of—

Him. 

Wrapped in brown furs tinged with the slightest red, ice-pale streaks running through his dark, dark hair. Warm skin that almost seems to glow, and large eyes that catch yours where you stand at the edge of the square, knees turned to water and arms to jelly. He's dressed so plainly, just the way you would be if you'd thought to put on a coat to ward against the wind, but somehow, still, he wears those ragged furs like a prince.

Taehyun. The dragon you met, the dragon you loved—in his human form, now, in a place you never thought you'd see him.

You're not sure who moves first. In the end, though, it doesn't really matter. You meet, somehow, and then it's just you in his arms and him in yours, his inner warmth seeping into your skin, sheltering you against the chill the way he always did. 

"You're here." You realize you're tearing up the moment you speak, embarrassment and emotion clogging your throat. "Why are you here?"

He laughs, and the sound reverbs through your chest—comforting, like the soft gusts of wind that had followed his laughter when you tried to cheer him as he healed in his dark cave. "Why aren't you wearing a coat?" he asks in turn, all the warmth of his love in his eyes as he repeats a question he asked you so many moons ago. His arms pull you closer than you ever thought possible as your hand rises to touch his shoulder, his chin, his cheek, eyes searching his throat where you know there are scattered scales of icy blue hiding behind the furs covering his skin. 

You snort wetly, wiping the tears from your face. "Answer me first."

"As you wish." He smiles, and you realize then how much you missed this—how, in the end, you wouldn't have been able to bear the distance from your love, your dragon—how you'd have set out to find him again at least once before you died. The flames that dance in his eyes burn so steadily, rooting you to the here, the now, even as the winds that gust around you threaten to blow you away. "I told you before that I go where the winds blow."

A kiss to your forehead, another to your nose. Feather light, butterfly soft, and then he presses his lips to yours. 

You're there for seconds. You're there for an eternity. You're there as the sun rises and sets, the winds howling past—you're there, here, steady against the earth, steady as the fire banked in Taehyun's soul, whose warmth he has shared with you. 

When you break away, his eyes are soft, softer than they've ever been. And as you cup his cheek in your palm, brushing away a tear that has just begun to trickle down his skin, he speaks once more. "I go where the winds blow," he says again, words so quiet yet so warm against the icy cold. "This time, they brought me to you."

Rainy Playgrounds

Taehyun didn’t think walking you home from his friends dumb party would lead to this… but he isn’t necessarily upset that it did.

fluff, first kiss au, very dialogue heavy, non-idol!tyun x fem!reader.. no idea how many words, probably a little under 1K

happy late birthday sweet boy <3 I couldn’t not write something for my bias’s birth

Kang Taehyun was perfect.

A fact he proved once again as he got the entire party dancing while performing his karaoke version of Fire by BTS, a rendition youre sure the group themselves would be impressed by.

And afterwards when everyone was congratulating him and chattering excitedly, his eyes kept landing on you.

You weren’t sure why, as the two of you hadn’t had many conversations, at least not conversations interesting enough for him to remember you by.

They were enough for you to remember him, and remember the way he smiled at you and made you feel everytime he said something else to keep the conversation going. In fact those few conversations were enough to have you completely head over heels for the boy.

But you watched from a distance, because he was perfect. Everyone knew it. He made everyone feel like that.

“Yn!”

Even now, the way he sounded genuinely excited to see you had your stomach doing back flips.

“Hey tyun!”

“Hey tyun!”

“Hey tyun!”

“You should try karaoke!!”

You laugh at the idea, “I don’t think that would be good for anyone.”

“Oh come on, I can help you pick a song!! If you want we can even do a duet!!”

Kang Taehyun was offering to do a duet with you, in front of what you would assume to be the entire school based on the way they were clustered together in Yeonjun’s living room turned dance floor.

“I’m good, I was actually just about to leave anyway. Social battery is getting pretty low.”

You needed to escape him immediately, his pretty smile and his sparkly eyes and his duet offers.

“Oh,” he has the nerve to sound disappointed, “well then let me walk you home!”

He’s grabbing his jacket before you can say anything to object, and he leads you out the door.

“Why are you leading?” You laugh, “you don’t even know the way to my house.”

He turns around to walk backwards so he can look at you, “true, but this takes away your chance to not let me.”

You swear he’s going to be the death of you, with his determination to care for you and make you accept it.

“You know the park by first street? I’m a few blocks down from there.”

His smile is blinding, “perfect.”

So fifteen minutes later and instead of being home, you two are at the park by your house.

“You know,” he says as he hangs off the monkey bars, “I think you’d be great at karaoke.”

You roll your eyes, “are we really still on that?”

“Yes we are!”

The two of you meet in the middle of the monkey bars, bodies swaying just enough to almost brush against each other but never actually touch.

“Even if I was the worlds greatest singer, there is no way I would follow THE Kang Taehyun.”

“Why? Because I’m such a performer?”

“Yes! You are! Even Chaeyoung was dancing and I watched her sleep through Yeonjun’s Hammer Time performance.”

Taehyun let’s out a laugh that sounds just as pretty as his singing.

“Well it was a little bit off key.”

“Oh so now this is the voice?” You question as you run off towards the swings, Taehyun following close behind. “I’m glad I didn’t sing in front of you, you probably wouldn’t have turned your chair around.”

You’re both sat on the swings now, and you absentmindedly kick your feet as he responds.

“I definitely would have! I’d have turned my chair around before you even picked up the microphone!”

You can’t help but laugh at his adamancy.

“Fine, I’m the worlds best singer, we can move on now.”

He giggles, “wow I’m so glad you sacrificed so I could be right.”

“What can I say? I’m a team player.”

He laughs, slowly getting higher and higher on the swing as he continues to kick his feet.

“So miss team player, when was the last time you swung on the playground.”

“When I was eleven. Every time I try to come now the kids parents glare at me because I’m too old.”

“I don’t think you’re ever too old for the playground.”

“Right?”

“Do you wanna jump?”

Your words are now getting more and more dismembered because of the way your swings are going opposite of each other, but you hear his childish suggestion clearly.

“Obviously.”

He grins.

“Okay. 1,2,3!”

The two of you let go of the swings, flying forward and into the mulch, toppling over from impact.

When you finally open your eyes from laughing, you see Taehyun is much closer than you thought, his face mere inches from your own.

“Are you okay?” He asks, brushing a thumb against your cheek where it’s red from falling after your landing.

You jerk into a sitting position, replacing his hand with your own.

“Yeah, I’m all good.”

He sits up leisurely, appearing as if he didn’t notice your panic when he touched you, but the smirk on his face assures you he did.

“You sure about that?”

Thunder rumbles somewhere in the distance, the warning of a small spring storm moving in.

“You know we’re still four blocks away from my house.”

“Yeah.”

“And it’s gonna start raining soon.”

“Yeah.”

Neither one of you move, still sitting facing each other.

“You know I really want to kiss you right now.” This time it’s him speaking, and you almost gasp at how steady his voice is.

He states it like a fact, and you find yourself smiling.

“Yeah.”

He grins, “yeah? You do?”

“Mhm.”

And with that he leans in, only to pause when raindrops start falling on his head, rolling down your face and getting your clothes wet.

“It’s raining,” he points out.

“I don’t care,” and with that you pull him in, hand at the back of his neck and the other on his cheek.

You feel him grin into the kiss, laying you down on the now soaked mulch.

“You should come to parties more often.”

“Shut up.”

The two of you are soaking wet when you finally make it home that night, but the grin on your faces and happy butterflies in your stomach outweigh the cold that you’re going to inevitable get.

txt masterlist | wooyoung’s previous part

You despised the fire kingdom. 

The more that you stayed in it, the more you were willing to find a way to get out of the kingdom without being burnt alive by the king himself. You knew how he was when it came to finding people that were willing to rebel and leave on their own accord, but the last few weeks seemed to have changed in ways that you weren’t sure what it had meant. But you did know one thing; this was your one shot to finally leave. 

“Madam, are you ready to go?” 

You nod in response as Lisette, your family’s maid, gives you a small smile, waving the luggage that was in her hands almost teasingly as she motions for you to head out first. The plan that she had was to go back to the ice kingdom, the place that your parents had once been familiar with, since they met each other there. 

Anyone would’ve assumed that you would have a little bit of each, knowing that there were wielders that had hybrid powers existing in occasions like this, but you had yet to receive the other half of the powers you were supposed to have. 

“Let’s go before someone else finds out,” You breathe out, making sure that you had your gloves on securely for what you were about to come face to face with in your new home. 

You were ecstatic, to say at least, but also nervous as you feared for what was yet to come in your future. For the most part, you were more worried about being found while you were on your journey to the ice kingdom, praying that hopefully your status was high enough for you to be able to travel in between the different kingdoms anyways, all thanks to your parents being nobles within the fire kingdom. 

Never had you belonged in the world of royalty, or the higher class people in the hierarchy such as those that were similar to the fire king, Wooyoung. But you found yourself lucky enough to even co-exist in the same vicinity as him knowing that both of your parents had been long time friends before everything had gone down to piles. 

You could hear the sounds of Ignatius’ kingdom guards talking to Lisette, who was outside in the front of the carriage as you listened closely to her conversation with them. You could tell that the guards were buying it with the sound of hums and slight mumbles being exchanged and, before you know it, you’re already out on your way to the ice kingdom that was awaiting for you with the wonders that were withheld within it. 

You wait for a while after mentally telling yourself that you were going to be okay, before you pull back the curtains to look at the view outside. Based on the time, you figured that possibly an hour has passed. The journey from the fire kingdom to the ice one wasn’t meant to be long, maybe a couple hours at most, but nothing could ever compare to the view that you’ve heard about in the books that you’ve read in your old home. 

There were walls made of literal ice, a complete contrast to the titanium steel that was used with ashes and smoke constantly surrounding you and the other fire wielders. Everything looked pristine, and you envied whoever was an ice wielder at this moment because all you could feel now was that you were going to be an outsider; nobody was going to know that you were a fire wielder, and that knowledge itself was dangerous considering you had the ability to burn an entire kingdom down with just one touch.

“Y/N? Are you still okay back there?” You hear Lisette call out to you and let out a hum in response as you continue to look at the ice kingdom with widened eyes.

You felt unsure after realizing that you could be the downfall of a kingdom, if things were to ever go downhill from here.

The carriage suddenly stops for a moment, making you furrow your eyebrows in confusion until you hear a knock on your door. You were suddenly greeted with Lisette, who gave you a small smile before motioning for you to get out, and you could only assume that she was telling you to stretch for a moment before continuing on with the journey. However, nothing could’ve ever prepared you for the drastic temperature change that you had to get used to, because now you were almost freezing cold. 

“Holy fuck-”

“Language, Y/N.” 

“It’s fucking freezing, Lisette, my toes are going to fall off,” You hissed as you could already feel shivers going down your spine at the freezing cold breeze blowing against your face.

“You'll live, don’t worry. Besides, we stopped so you could stretch and probably grab some snacks, if you wanted any,” She says and you nodded in response, letting out a mumble that you’d be back in about five minutes tops before heading off into the snow and ice view in front of you.  

You could feel your limbs being stretched out the more that you walked, but you were still shivering cold with your arms wrapped around yourself. You squinted at the wind that was blowing against your face, but you continued to trudge through the snow, hoping that maybe you could find a place to buy a snack; however all you made out was the white beauty of ice and snow in front of you.

You hated it already.

The snow felt thicker and thicker underneath your boots, up to the point where you’ve barely heard that slight click that was right below, before a voice called out to you. 

“Stop- Stop, don’t walk any more!” 

You freeze up for a moment as you look off into the distance until you feel a presence nearby, making you slightly turn your head to look at them. The boy in front of you seemed as though he were your age, silver coating his locks and skin paler than anything, seeming to have appeared out of nowhere. 

“What did I just step on?” You whispered quietly, afraid of moving even one bit and just a tiny shift triggered a small click to what seemed to be a bear trap underneath your foot, “Oh god, am I going to die?”

“I can get you out, but you’re going to have to trust me on this,” The boy says while slowly inching over to where you were. 

However, you shake your head in response as fear was slowly overtaking your body and your heart was now pounding loudly in your chest. 

“What’s the plan then?” You ask him, giving him a nervous look and he takes a moment to assess his situation, from what you were able to watch on his face, noticing how his features were definitely more prominent with every moment that he was taking to even think about it.

“Okay so on three, you’re going to jump and I’ll catch you-”

“What if it doesn’t work-”

“It’s going to work-”

“I don’t trust you-”

“Do you want to be hurt instead out here in the cold?” He breathes out, looking at you incredulously, but your head shakes no in response, leading him to carefully move over to where you had been standing the whole time. 

He gives you a look in which you could tell that he was asking through his eyes for your consent for him to even touch you, and you give him a small nod before he mumbles a small countdown for you to listen to. The moment that he had finally gotten to three, you jumped as high as you possibly could by lifting your body into the air, legs with you and suddenly you’re caught in the middle of the air bridal style into his arms as your arms immediately flung around his neck. 

Your heart leaps out of your chest as you hear the sound of the bear trap going off, flinching at it, just slightly before looking between the contraption and the boy whose face was now inches in front of you. Heat rushes to your face as you try to figure out in his eyes what his intentions were, but there wasn’t anything besides warmth behind them, a look that you haven’t been familiar with in a while, even in the fire kingdom. 

Who was he?

“You don’t look like you’re from around here… Would you like a proper escort into the ice kingdom?” The kind stranger offers, with a warm smile on his face, nodding his head over to the kingdom that was now just right behind you guys as if the snow had suddenly cleared up throughout the time that you were with him. 

“A proper escort? Who do you think you are, the king?” You scoffed for a moment with a small smile on your face, unsure as to why he still hasn’t let go of you yet, but for some reason you feel comfortable where you were with him.

It was strange. 

“Someone who wants to be your friend for the time being. So?” He responds, raising an eyebrow at you and you pause for a moment. Lisette was going to freak out when she found that a boy was going to join you on your trip, but what was the harm?

“Fine, you can join me to head to the ice kingdom. Can I at least get your name-?” 

“Taehyun, Kang Taehyun.”

You think that his name is as pretty as his face as you’re staring into them for who knows how long. If anybody were to see you two, they’d think that you were dating, making your face flush with heat for a moment before you spun yourself out of his touch. It became cold again, but you brushed it off as the temperature as you nodded over to where your carriage had been waiting for you to join it once more in this long journey.

“It’s nice to meet you Taehyun. I’m Y/N.”

It had been five days since you last saw Taehyun. 

He had left you the moment that you had arrived at the house that Lisette had gotten for you both, no other explanation or words of him saying that he’d probably visit you again. You were a bit disappointed, but you didn’t expect anything less for someone as ethereal as him, from the moment that you had gotten into the ice kingdom with him. 

It was called Aspen, as common of a name it was. 

He had told you about its beginnings, how it came to be, and how it was ruled by a king, alongside his brethren that were kings of their own kingdoms. The five of them were united under one country and were always willing to reach out to their neighboring allies, such as the ones from Ignatius. However, he had also warned you about how the ice king could also come off as cold, making you wonder how he knew so much for someone who had also claimed along your journey that he was just someone that happened to live there his whole life.

It was almost as though he was an insider from the Ice Palace.

“Y/N, be careful and step away from the windows!” 

You flinched at the shrill sound of your Lisette’s voice and stepped away from the windows for a moment, blinking until you turned around to meet her concerned eyes. Lisette gives you a saddened look and holds onto your gloved hands before checking your entire being quickly, letting out a breath of relief when she realizes that you were okay. 

“Lisette, I was only-”

“Looking at the ice palace, I know sweetheart, but we’re still trying to make sure that you don’t light the whole kingdom aflame,” She says with a hint of playfulness in her voice, but she wasn’t wrong at all, because you both knew that one wrong touch meant you were done for. 

You frowned as you looked between her and the view that was right outside your window, wondering where Taehyun might be in Aspen while the snow fell from the sky right in front of your eyes. What kind of friend abandons them, when they knew that they were going to be lost in a new home in the first place?

“He hasn’t stopped by yet…” You mumble quietly, looking at her and she walks over to pat your back comfortingly, just moments until you hear fanfare go off in the distance. 

You realize that it was from the ice palace itself, making you scramble onto your feet for you to turn on the television that was mounted on your wall to tune into whatever news that was going to be broadcasted from the palace. The sounds of fanfare were still on the television and you wondered what was going on today, until suddenly the camera panned over to the balcony where there were five tall males standing, and in the midst of them. 

“Taehyun?”

There he was in his royal clothing, silver hair as ash colored as it could get, and there was a cold look on his face that was different in contrast to what you had seen back when you first met him. Yet for some reason, you still felt this unsettling feeling in your stomach that was a mixture of both butterflies, and also nerves. Had he been trying to trick you throughout the time that you had been with him to make you believe that he was just another citizen of Aspen? 

You could barely make out what was happening in the broadcast, but before you could even realize it, you were out of your daze and out the door with your scarf in your hands. The heavy ice slightly crunched underneath your feet with every step that you took while running, however you knew that it was enough to keep you up; even if this was your first time out of the house since the day that you had moved in. 

But you had no clue where you were going. 

You were running in the direction that your gut was telling you to, even if it was a bad idea. But you pushed forward with your thoughts and continued to run for as long as your legs could take you in the confusing lanes that lead right into the heart of the kingdom, where you somehow lucked out in finding the ice palace due to the large crowd forming around it. Stopping in your tracks, you looked up to see the balcony that you had seen on the broadcast earlier, and there he was.

It was like he knew that you were there, because now his eyes were locked on yours as if the two of you were having a staredown in the midst of everything that was happening. He gives you a small smile following with a wink, making you confused as to what the action itself had meant, but one thing was for sure; you were way too close to the ice king the other day.

He disappears after a brief moment, making you blink away from whatever that was before you started to move forward past the crowd to see if there was a way to even get inside. Luckily for you, you were able to sneak through the massive amounts of bodies standing even at the door that you had gotten past the guards.

You noted to yourself to tell Taehyun that he needed better door guards. 

The palace was completely warm in contrast to the fact that it was completely made of ice. It was as if there were some sort of heat source that was keeping it warm, but there was no possible way for that to happen, making you even more confused. You started to wander off into the palace, looking at the pristine pieces of ice sculptures all around you, when suddenly you felt your arm being tugged by someone out of nowhere. 

Your eyes landed on the familiar color of ashy silver and you realized that he was taking you to a more secluded part of the palace, away from the eyes of Aspen. It wasn’t until after a bunch of long corridors and stairs later that you were on another balcony that was beside what you figured as the master bedroom, the view showcasing the landscapes of the snowy forest that you were once in just days prior. 

“Oh wow… It’s pretty up here,” You mumbled out of nowhere in awe, before turning to look at him with a mischievous look while wiggling your eyebrows, “Is this place your secret hideout, when you’re not the king?”

“Something like that, sure,” He chuckles in response, leaning over the balcony railing with a breath escaping his lips and you could’ve sworn that you saw his breath in the middle of the air in the form of ice shards…

But maybe you were imagining things.

“It’s hard being a king, isn’t it?” You frowned a bit, looking at him as you took place beside him over the balcony railing and you could tell that he was getting a bit lost in his thoughts, just for a moment, before nodding in response to what you had asked him.

“It is… But I’ll manage,” He replies, making you also nod at his words and alternate your glances between him and the snowy forest, wondering what must’ve been running through his mind at the moment when he was just standing right there beside you.

“Hey Taehyun… Can you make me a weird promise?” You mumbled quietly, looking over to the silver haired boy that had been looking at you already, making heat rush up to your cheeks for a bit while he hums in response. 

“Are we that close within our friendship already, Y/N?” He teases you a bit, nudging you slightly and you let out a slight giggle until he speaks up again once he realized how you were still tensed up from your question, “What is it?” 

“If one of us were to die someday, you'd have to let me die first.” 

He gives you a confused look, unsure where all of this had been coming from but you were also unsure as to why you suddenly felt so sentimental with the boy sitting next to you. He was just another person to you, much less the king of the ice palace that you’ve been hiding in for who knows how long, and you weren’t planning on sticking around Aspen. 

“I don’t know why I even thought of it, but since we’re now friends, I hope, we have to at least have a promise so that it solidifies our friendship… don’t you think so?” You say with a smile curling at the ends of your lips and your head is slightly tilted while staring at him. 

However, he finds it slightly endearing as he watches you hold up your pinky out for him to interlock with his own, so that your promise was solidified. He wasn’t sure what this meant for the two of you, but somehow he felt reassured that you were with him right now, away from all of the people that were trying to breathe down his back on the problems that each of them had; ones that he had known about since he was a kid and was now forced to take care of since he had been crowned king. 

But with you, he was someone else. He was able to be himself for a bit, and you were his first friend in a while, since the other boys had entered his life. He thinks to himself, as he stares into your warm eyes, that if one of you did die, that he would be the one to be right beside you, and to prevent you from dying in the first place. You were already making an impression on him, and for some reason, he feels safe and attached to you, as if you were another home.

“Don’t worry. I promise.”

“Are you ready for your first ever tour of Aspen?” 

The boy in front of you has a wide grin on his face as you nod in response while closing the door behind you, shivering for a moment until you come face to face with his now frowning expression and death glares. He points to the outfit that you had on, making you give him a look that you would refuse his internal nagging to get a thicker jacket, when you could’ve used your powers to warm yourself up on your own regardless. 

“Tae-”

“Go get a jacket.”

“I don’t need it-”

“You’re going to get sick, and I don’t want you to get sick on my watch,” He says with a final tone, making you give him one last look before huffing out a breath as you went back inside to grab the coat that was waiting for you to put on from the couch. 

It was as if it knew that this would happen in the first place.  

“Better?” You pouted a bit, watching as he walked up to you just a bit from the moment that you walked out the door.

Reaching for your jacket’s zipper, he zips it up just enough for you to stay warm, and you could’ve sworn that your heart rate had gone up a million miles per hour with how close he was to you when he zipped it up. His eyes have grown soft when he makes sure that you were bundled up with how cold it had been today, and he lets out a satisfied noise with a smile before dragging you away from your house with your hand intertwined with his. 

“Perfect, actually.”

He continues to take you alongside with him, hand in hand with you still as you listen to him ramble on about everything that was surrounding you two. Going from the beautiful sculptures that were created, to each ice shard that was invisible to the eye, to the glacial buildings that beautifully reflected under the warm sun, you would’ve thought that this was something more than just a little tour around Aspen by the king. 

The entire time that you had walked with him felt as though your heads were up in the clouds with the way that his eyes were filled with the entire universe. His eyes were enlarged, full of wonder and excitement as you took note of every single place that he mentioned, along with the little commentary about his favorite places that he would go to in secret whenever he was able to sneak away from the palace. 

In fact, you didn’t even realize that you would’ve been able to experience it until then, when he drags you into his favorite boba shop.

“What’s your favorite flavor, Firestorm?” You hear him ask from beside you and turn to raise an eyebrow at him, unsure of where the sudden nickname came from as he gives you a slight smirk at your confused state. 

“Flustered?” 

“A little embarrassed, actually. Firestorm, really?” You joked, crossing your arms in front of your chest and you could see it in his eyes that he was taken back a bit by your response, but you wanted to challenge him even more because you knew that there was a hidden meaning behind his own words. 

“Was there something else that you had in mind?” He muses, giving you a wider grin on his face and you shrug a bit before glancing between him and the menu that was right above both of your heads. 

“I’ll have the crystal milk special… with a dash of darling rather than Firestorm,” You reply, giving him a small smile and he nods in response before heading up to the counter to order both of your drinks while you stand there, staring at the back of his head with thoughts running through your mind. 

Did you seriously just ask him to call you darling? 

Heat flares up into your cheeks and the tips of your ears as you thought to yourself what you were even doing in the first place. This was the king that you had been running around Aspen with, as if the two of you were the bestest of friends, when in reality it’s only been days since you’ve last met the other by sheer coincidence. 

There were definitely intrusive thoughts entering your mind as you thought about how attractive he was, all while thinking about how you could at least keep your emotions at bay. However, there was something about him that made you want to get to know him more, but at the same time it felt almost too inappropriate to be this close to him anyways, making you want to distance yourself from the beautiful boy that was now coming to you with your drinks in hand. 

“So, darling, anything else you had in mind for today? I could show you a couple more places, if you want me to,” He offers, handing you your cup and straw with a comforting smile on his face and you look at him with a small smile on your face before thinking for a moment. 

“Are you trying to ask me on a date, Kang Taehyun?” You teased, winking at him momentarily as the two of you started to head out of the boba shop, when he suddenly stopped the moment that you had stepped outside. 

Snow had started to fall from the sky, and it made you think about the powers that he might’ve had on his end. Was he the one making it snow on his own accord, or was it something that was just pure coincidence, from the moment that you both stepped outside? From what you even remember, Lisette had always told you that whomever you had been with during the first snowfall was supposed to be your forever. 

However, there were also the rare occasions where you have also heard about the possibilities of your supposed ‘soulmate’ being the answer to your mission powers that you were supposed to have. You haven’t found this singular individual yet, but you knew that when you did, they were going to be that someone that you knew you could be in a lifetime with.   

“Would it be so bad, if I was?” 

You tense up for a moment as you looked back at him with a confused face, unsure as to whether or not you should accept his offer, though you weren’t sure what else you had to lose. But in this moment, you wonder if it was a good time for you to go with him anyways when he was going through so much on his own, along with having to deal with his own kingly duties rather than hanging out with someone else that was not even from Aspen. 

“Taehyun… You have to go back to the palace at some point, you know. I don’t think it’d be a good idea if you just spent the day giving me a whole tour of Aspen, when you have your own stuff to do.” You frowned, taking a small sip of your own drink and had you not been distracted by the cup in your hands, you would’ve been too flustered to even continue the conversation with him. 

Why was he trying to get to know you more?

“Not even if it was a king’s order to hang out with him?” He teases, giving you a small smile as he leans down so that you were both now eye level to one another, and you could’ve sworn that you were warmer than any other time in the world, even back home in Ignatius. 

Your heart was beating loudly in your chest as you stared into his large eyes, a smile coating his lips and you could see the same mischief in his eyes that you recognized from the first day that you had met him. He was someone that was ready to bring out another side of you that you didn’t realize you had been hiding all along, and yet somehow you were okay with that in this moment as you were holding back the urge to poke the dimple that was showing on the side of his curved lips.

“Then where to next, ice king?”

You’ve known Taehyun for 504 hours; 21 days approximately, more or less.

Maybe it was the fact that he’s been making efforts to see you, more than you had in the first place, and you felt almost guilty; almost being the keyword as you sat across from the said male at the boba shop that you had also fallen in love with. At this point, you had practically known Aspen inside and out with how much you’ve been going out of your house with him, and for some reason you found it strange that he had so much trust in you and your powers. 

He knew that at some point if your gloves were to ever come off your hands, everything that he and his family have ever built up until now will melt in your palms. However in the last three weeks, he has gotten more fond of your presence beside his, somehow feeling a sense of familiarity inside his heart whenever he talks to you. 

“Taehyun, how come nobody has ever seen your parents?” You ask him out of nowhere, playing with your now empty cup as your eyes seemed distant for a moment, as though your mind was somewhere else, rather than where you were now with him. 

To be fair, you have heard stories from the other boys when you had met them from the last time that you hung out with them. 

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Taehyun this excited to play in the snow, even if it’s with Huening,” You recall Yeonjun mentioning as you raised an eyebrow at his sudden statement. 

“He hasn’t been this happy in a while, especially when he has lost his parents at such a young age from what I’ve heard my parents mention to me, and I think you’re the cause of that. Yeah, we laugh here and there and he, hopefully, enjoys his time hanging out with us, but this is the happiest that we’ve ever seen him now that you’ve been around.” 

“Was he cold hearted instead?” You remember asking the man, thinking about how he was the oldest of the bunch, and the one to unite them all in the first place all because of a playdate that went too well. 

“I’d like to think that he was even colder than the ice that coats Aspen. Freezing, almost, but his heart is slowly warming up to you, if I say so myself. I can see it in both of your eyes.” 

Taehyun gives you a confused look when you mention it, but nonetheless he feels as though he could tell you anything in the moment because you weren’t just anybody else asking him about his deceased parents. He knew who they were from when he was a kid up until his teenage years, and finding out more about them through his aunt was a story that he struggled to accept because of the perception that they gave off to him as a young boy. 

“They… were apparently the best, and worst rulers of Aspen. They cared about their people too much, and the greed that came from wanting what was best for them became their deaths when we went to war with Ignatius. It wasn’t until their passing and Wooyoung’s compromise with me that we became at peace. I know it wasn’t hyung’s fault either… but somehow… it still hurts to think about them,” He explains to you with a small frown in his face, and if you could, you would’ve reached out to rub the area in between his eyebrows so that the wrinkles could leave his saddened demeanor.

“They probably were doing what they thought was best for you, Tae,” You mumbled softly and reached out for his hand that was resting on the table in front of you, squeezing it gently as you could feel him reciprocate the small meaningful action. 

“I know… I’m just grateful for the memories that they gave me, and for the others for picking me back up slowly when I was at my worst moments. My parents weren’t complete assholes either, they were actually kind of like us… Opposite elemental wielders,” He mentions while looking at you with a small smile on his face and that was when your curiosity peaked. 

“Does that mean…” 

“Like you, I’m also missing the other half of my powers. But hopefully someday, I’ll meet that person and be whole with them, if that makes sense,” He says, and you knew exactly what he meant. 

There was no coincidence that you both just so happened to be missing the other half of each other’s complementary elements, but there wasn’t a chance that Taehyun could be your half. Everything was purely occurring because of its timing, and you were trying to think of any other logistical reason that it was happening in the first place. 

“Taehyun…”

“Hey, wanna head to the ice palace with me? I remembered that I have to check up on something, but I don’t want you to leave me just yet,” He offers, standing up from where he had been sitting down earlier in front of you, but it was the feeling of his hand letting go of yours that made your skin crawl with how cold it suddenly felt. 

The smile that was previously on his lips drops a little bit, but you chose to just shake the thought away as you nodded in response, motioning for him to show you the way first as the two of you had started going our way. However, this walk felt different and maybe it was because you were too used to being so close to him while constantly putting your hand in his whenever you went on your escapades with him. 

It was at this point where Yeonjun’s previous words had weighed heavy on your heart, making you wonder if you were really the reason for Taehyun’s change of heart. You could have, but that could only mean worse for you both if the truth came out to the person that you had been fearing the most from the moment that you’ve stepped into Aspen. 

“I need you to make me a promise, darling. There’s something that I’ve been working on for a while that you cannot tell anyone else,” He mumbles softly, glancing to where you had still been trailing behind him the whole time up until you had walked into the palace with him.

You nod in response while interlocking your own pinky with the one that he had out for you already, but for some reason the uncertainty on his face never seemed to leave him. He seemed more nervous, unsure as to whether or not it was a good idea to even tell you what he had felt burdened with, but the small smile on your face could only reassure him that it was okay. 

“Darling, I’m very serious about this-”

“I know, Tae, which is why I swear I won’t even say anything to anyone,” You say, giving him a small nod when he furrowed his eyebrows even more while frowning. 

“The boys don’t even know about this… which is why I’m scared to even tell them, because what would they even think when they see that?” He murmurs, head tilted to motion over towards a door that you had recognized from days prior from today. 

You walk over to the closed door and watch as he unlocks it slowly for you to walk in first, only to be graced with the sight of something that resembled an incubator but made out of complete ice. It was wantonly freezing in the room, in contrast to the rest of the palace, and you could’ve sworn that your lips had turned blue from the moment that you walked in here, if it weren’t for the feeling of Taehyun draping his cape over your shoulders to hopefully warm you up; but the frozen person was too familiar in your eyes because of how often you’d see him.

“Is that-”

“Choi San, Wooyoung’s best friend… Frozen,” He mumbles in order to hold himself back from tearing up, but he too was too immersed in the overwhelming feeling of guilt in his heart, because he knew why he hasn’t faced Wooyoung yet in these last few days, even while reaching out to the elder. 

“He died back in Ignatius protecting Wooyoung and his significant other… and he had asked for a favor by sending him over to me to see if there was any way for me to save his life by slowing his death but….” He explains to you slowly, eyes concentrated onto yours as you look away from the iced figure to see that his eyes were glossed over with tears ready to spill out of them. 

You frown a bit as you hesitantly reach up to cup his cheek into your hand, gently wiping the stray tear that was already glistening onto the apples of his cheekbones and he lets out a shaky breath when you do so. Thinking to yourself, you wondered how long he must’ve been enduring this secret while also attending to his kingly duties and juggling finding the right time to even be around you given that there was never enough time in the world. 

“It’s not your fault, Taehyun,” You whisper quietly, giving him a reassuring smile but he shakes his head in response, holding onto your hand as he looks into your eyes with one too many thoughts in his mind to figure out the answers to. 

“Wooyoung wants to come here soon, darling. If he does that and finds you here-”

“He won’t, I won’t let him,” You argue back, frowning as roles have finally switched. He was now holding onto you by wrapping one arm around your waist and the other grabbing onto your gloved hand that was previously resting on his cheek over to where his heart was. 

“Do you know how cruel it is to be around you, darling? You can literally kill me, and bring my entire kingdom down… Yet somehow you chose not to. Why? Why are you still staying here, knowing that you have me wrapped around your toxic fingers?” He mumbles while slowly leaning in and for a moment you could feel his cold breath hovering over your own breath. 

Your heart was practically jumping out of your chest but you were tempted to remove the small gap that was separating the two of you. Thoughts were running through your mind as you wanted to know the same thing, yet the answer was right there in front of you as your eyes trailed between his that were boring into your heart and his lips that were so close to resting against yours. 

Taehyun was the complementary piece that you had been looking for your entire life, and maybe it was the little voice that was from your subconscious that was warning you that something bad was going to happen. Maybe it was because of that little warning that instills fear into your heart, fearing that maybe Taehyun would be ripped away from you if someone had the chance to, and that was the reason why you were even holding back. 

“I think we both know the answer to this, Taehyun,” You whisper back and there’s now tears that were pooling at the corner of your eyes before the space between you both had finally evaporated out of thin air. 

And that was the day that you had your first kiss with the king of Aspen.

You don’t believe in love at first sight, but with Taehyun, you think that maybe it was when he had saved you from that bear trap that you had fallen for him.

“Did you know that a group of bunnies are called a fluffle?” 

Your head turns over to where he had been looking at you with a wide grin on his face, as if you had painted his sky blue while placing all of the stars into the same sky all in one day. Said boy brushes your hair out of your eyes as the two of you had been sitting in his safe place, staring at the horizons as you both were watching the sunset together and you try not to let a laugh escape from your lips at how enamored he had looked in the very moment. 

“You’re so random for that,” You grinned while hiding your face into his neck, feeling his arms wrap around your waist as he pulled you in closer into his embrace that he had created for only you to feel, “I’m so embarrassed for you.”

“The smile on your pretty lips says otherwise, darling. You can’t fool anyone at this point,” He teases you, placing a short kiss against your lips and you could’ve sworn that if it were possible, your smile had only grown wider than it already was. 

“But what if I were to be a fool for you?”

Falling in love with Taehyun felt like you had slipped hard in one of Aspen’s back roads and alleys that you have been so familiar with now. Somehow, you found yourself staying for over a month now, and ever since the day that he had revealed to you about his plan to break the news to Wooyoung about San, you could only grow more fond and attached to the boy that you unknowingly were in love with. 

“Well then, I hope it is just for me, because if you were ever with someone else… I think I’d go crazy over you.” You winked half jokingly, and he lets out the most beautiful laugh that you’ve ever heard in your entire life, making you wish that you had some sort of recorder to save this sound forever into your heart. 

“Don’t worry, I’m holding my promise until the very end of us, darling.”

He presses a kiss against your forehead and instantly, you feel warmer than you’ve ever been despite the fact that your gloves were still on. The two of you sat there for a moment as you thought about the time that he had tried to convince you to take your gloves off. 

That exact day was the same one in which the two of you had shown the others your capabilities with your powers in the white forest that you both met in. It was also the same day where you both have sworn to never use it against the other, knowing that it could put the other in danger and neither of you had ever wanted that to happen in this life.  

“Hey, is it just me or does it feel a lot warmer than it usually does around here?” You mumbled to Taehyun, looking around in confusion as to why the atmosphere was suddenly growing warm, and he got up from his spot at the same time. 

“Wooyoung is here.” 

Your eyes widen at his words and in almost a split second later, he disappears from your sight as he’s heading back into the palace, praying that maybe he could hide you for a little bit longer. On the other hand, you were pretty much freaking out as you paced back and forth on the ice balcony, debating whether or not it had been a good idea to jump over it and to avoid the long awaited confrontation that you were obviously trying to escape from, when you thought about Taehyun. 

He had been your rock the entire time that you have been here, and if Wooyoung were to do anything to force you back home to Ignatius, you knew that you would have to put up a fight that could potentially harm the rest of Aspen. But you were willing to make sure that Taehyun and Aspen were safe first, even if it meant that your life would be the one in danger instead. 

You ran inside the ice palace to find Taehyun, to stop him for a moment so that the two of you could think of a better plan to talk to the fire king, but it was too late. The two of them were dead silent as all eyes were now on you, and you could see Wooyoung’s facial expressions harden when he realized why you look so familiar at first glance. 

“Your highness-”

“You’re one of mine, aren’t you?” He says almost immediately and you could feel a lump form in your throat, words that were previously on the tip of your tongue had now evaporated as you could only stare between the two. 

Your voice had failed you, but you gave him a small nod that you could only do at this moment, already afraid of your fate that was now resting in both of your hands. You watch as Wooyoung glances between both you and Taehyun with an unreadable emotion in his eyes, because he had somehow known about your family’s rankings and the history behind them as well. 

“You do realize that if you really wanted to see if you were soulmates after escaping me, Taehyun has to use his powers on you.” 

The bluntness in his voice throws you off guard while your mouth hands low from the fact that he even mentioned it in the first place. Had he known the entire time-

“Both of your parents have told me about this situation possibly happening, and the only way to see it is for Taehyun to pierce you with his ice powers, to see if you’re immune to any ice related attacks despite being a fire wielder,” Wooyung explains calmly, making you frown for a moment before glancing over at Taehyun, who had been staring at the ground the whole time. 

Had he known about this from the moment that he met you?

“Tae-”

“I’m not going to do it,” The boy immediately argues, looking up at both you and Wooyoung with a pain stricken expression, and if it were possible, the previous tension of what Taehyun might’ve created earlier while breaking the news to Wooyoung had gotten even worse from here on out. 

“I’ll leave you both to talk about it, but Taehyun… please make sure that San gets sent off as beautifully as he would’ve wanted it.” The elder speaks before leaving the ice palace with heavy footsteps behind.

The ice palace becomes the coldest that it has ever been, both you and Taehyun being the only ones there while standing in the middle of the large foyer. Neither of you had decided to speak up because of the big decision that was now in the palm of your hands, but as you felt the tears cascading down your face, you walked over to him slowly while holding in your breath. 

“I don’t want to do it, Y/N. I don’t want to be the reason why you die, if it doesn’t work out,” He mumbles quietly, and you understandingly nod in response, knowing that if anything, he had the biggest role to play at this point. 

“But I also don’t want you to feel deprived of being at your full potential because of me-”

“You wouldn’t be holding me back, I promise you that,” You say while taking his hands into your own, but you couldn’t help yourself and felt pity, because it was at this moment you had realized how much you were in love with Kang Taehyun.

It was because of him and the love that he had given you from the moment that you both met that you had trusted him with your life wholeheartedly. He was the breath of fresh air to make you realize that you were capable of being loved, especially when all this power you had wielded could’ve been used against him; but he trusted you, the same way that you did with him that one day.

“Tae, I want you to do it now, while we’re still here together.” 

He gaped at you in shock, eyes widened as if he were asking you about the certainty that you had wanted him to try what Wooyoung had mentioned onto you, but there was only the familiar look in your eyes that he recognized as your stubbornness. He had remembered the promise that he made with you all those weeks or months ago on the balcony, when he had promised for you to die first if anything were to happen to you two. 

And this was those circumstances, in which the promise was finally going to happen. 

“I’m glad that I’m the one that gets to leave first, ya know… I don’t think I’d ever want to learn what it’d be like if you weren’t with me,” You hiccupped, tears still streaming down your face while his thumbs were busy wiping them away. 

“I’m so scared, Taehyun.” 

“Hey, don’t say that, don’t be scared. It’s just me. You’re going to be okay, and when you wake up again, I’ll be right there next to you, okay?,” He says in a gentle tone while brushing the hairs that were covering your forehead out of the way to place a soft kiss against it.

“You’re not leaving me, and I’m never leaving you like I promised you back then. The only thing I want right now is for you to promise me that you’ll wake up after this… Because I don’t want to relearn what life without you is like.” 

Your lips are shut tight while your mind has been running at a million miles per hour with your heartbeat, because you weren’t sure if this was going to work. The two of you promised that you wouldn’t use your powers on the other, but here you were, ready to take your gloves off to fully take in the powers that Taehyun was about to use on you, making you grow worried of what was going to happen. 

“Tae-”

“Y/N, darling baby, I want you to promise me,” He sternly says and you were able to see the fear that was slowly overtaking him through his eyes. 

You both were scared, because neither of you knew what the other outcome was supposed to be when risks were so high up there at the moment. You could end up dying due to the ice shards that would pierce through you from Taehyun’s powers, but on the other hand it might just work and you’d both be complete with both sets of powers, making you both meant to be with one another. 

But what were the odds that the outcomes were in your favor?

“I promise, Taehyun… I trust you…” You smiled weakly, nodding in response as the two of you were now standing in front of the other with tears streaming down your faces, and you took this moment to take in every single feature and crevice that had sculpted the beautiful boy that you had fallen in love with. 

He places one last meaningful kiss against your lips while you have reciprocated the action back, and just as your lips touch for a moment. Right in that moment, you could feel his hand rest on your arm and you knew that he was about to use his powers to create the ice shards that were going to pierce you at any given moment, but you felt him wince into the kiss due to the warmth that was radiating from your ungloved hands. 

“I love you, Taehyun,” You whisper against his lips and you hear him whisper six words just seconds before both of your powers had finally collided with one another, exerting yourselves to the most before you had fallen unconscious from the world.

“I love you too, my darling.”

They say that your entire life flashes before you when you’re teetering between life and death, a montage of everything you’ve done throughout the time that you were alive to determine whether or not you have lived until the fullest. Throughout the time that you were unconscious, you didn’t see those flashes appear in your mind, but rather a voice that continuously called out for you, in which they had sounded way too familiar to not know where it had come from. 

“Y/N… please wake up… I’m right here.” 

You gasp awake as your vision is greeted with the darkness of someone’s bedroom, head darting to find the source of the voice that was calling out to you until you realize that it was Taehyun, who had been sitting on the end of your bed the entire time. He gives you a worried look as he is holding onto gloved hand gently, but also firmly while you were confused with everything that was going on in the first place. 

“Where am I? How long have I-”

“You were unconscious for two hours.”

Your eyes were now on his as you noticed how they were rimmed with bloodshot red, as if he had been crying throughout the two hours. Almost immediately, you looked down on his wrists to see the small burn marks that you have created on him, making you frown slightly at the sight as you look back up at him.

“You didn’t put any healing ointment on them, Taehyun, what the hell,” You mumbled and got up to grab some medicine that you knew was stored in the connecting bathroom when suddenly you were pulled back into his embrace on his bed. 

There’s a bit of wetness on your back and you could tell that it was from Taehyun, making you raise your hand up to hold onto the arm that was wrapped around your waist when you notice a change in his arms. The marks that you had seen literally a second ago had begun to fade, just as you turned to look at him and his ash, silver hair was slowly turning into a color that resembles a glossed over platinum blonde. 

“Tae… Your hair,” You gasped quietly as you reached up for his hair, just as little specs of snow had fallen from your fingertips.

The both of you watched as the specks of snow had fallen into his new colored hair, making you freeze in your places at the newfound information that you both had witnessed. In that exact same moment, Taehyun releases his arm around you to recreate a move that he had remembered you teaching him a while back, in which was to create a flame in the palm of his hands. The warm colors on the flame danced around in your eyes but you watched it disappear as both you and Taehyun were now looking at one another with shocked expressions on your faces. 

“Does that mean-”

Almost immediately, he cups your face to place kisses all over you, your giggles leaving your lips as fate seemed to be on your side for once. The two of you were finally like puzzle pieces that were meant to be put together, and with everything that had just happened today, you knew that things were only going to look better from here on out. 

“I am absolutely enamored by you, darling, with every single fiber in me. I hope that I can prove that to you, for the rest of our days, as long as you stick by me.” He grins while placing one last kiss against your lips, in which you felt your heart pacing for the millionth time that you’ve been with him. 

“I promise, Tae, don’t you worry about it.”

a/n: i believe this was my beloved 🌌 anon's request!! (ﾉ´∀｀*) so sorry it took so long for me to fulfill love, but i hope u like it still :')

The best thing about this city, you decided, was that the nights were warm and lively. Even from your vantage point at the little bistro on the corner of the street, you could watch the groups of people pass by bringing vivid conversation and bright laughter. Along the river, tourists flocked to join in the midnight picnic festivities that this part of the city was known for. 

It was a shame that you were here for work, and not for play. 

You idly sipped your glass of iced tea, the outside of the glass perspiring against the heat and creating a ring on the metal table. “Any day now, Beomgyu.”

“Patience is a virtue, Yn,” Beomgyu’s voice sounded in your ear to the accompaniment of clacking keys. He grumbled, “Usually he’s early.”

“So they're a he?” You mused into your cup. You were currently perched at the corner bistro, not for a nice cup of iced tea (that was an added bonus), but for an informant. Beomgyu had been the one keeping in touch with this certain person. However, this time, he apparently wanted to meet you. You hadn’t even known the informant was a “he” until Beomgyu had just revealed that to you. 

Beomgyu grumbled on the other side of the speaker. "Yes."

"You're pouting, aren't you?"

You could see him sit up straight and wipe the pout away from his face. "No! I-I'm not pouting!"

You chuckled over the rim of your glass as your eyes skimmed the boulevard once more. "So who's this guy?" You asked once more, hoping he would just give in and tell you—

"Oh, just your favorite person." 

You whirled around at the sound of the familiar voice behind you, and you came face to face with a man with strawberry blond bangs falling in his eyes, a smirk settled on his pretty face, and in a dark blue button up that fit far too well on his body. You nearly dropped your glass, but that wouldn't have been very professional. 

Kang Taehyun settled in the seat across from you just as a waiter came by to ask him for his drink order. "I'll have what they're having," he said, gesturing to you. 

You held the side of your face with your free hand. "I'm way too sober for this."

"Then make that two martinis," Taehyun corrected with a laugh. When the waiter took his leave, Taehyun laced his fingers in front of him on the table, head cocked to the side as he considered your mild scowl in his direction. "You seem pleased to see me, love."

Your scowl deepened. "Choi Beomgyu, I'm going to murder you."

A squeak from the other side of the earpiece. 

Taehyun's smile widened. "After you kill me then, I suppose?"

"You're supposed to be at headquarters, Kang," you said to him. You crossed your arms over your chest. "What're you doing as Beomgyu's so-called informant? International burglary isn't even your jurisdiction—" You shook your head, waved your hands; you knew you probably looked like a chicken with its head chopped off. "What're you doing out of the office?"

Kang Taehyun was a formidable agent under your same intelligence organization, but he specialized in the behind the scenes work like Beomgyu; he wasn't a field agent like you. He was out of his element, out of those round spectacles and those smart suspenders and white shirts rolled to the elbow. He looked like an agent in the field, or at least, he looked like any regular, rich tourist who walked this boulevard. God damn him, he looked good, too. (You were this close to making a scene—)

"I'm on reconnaissance," he told you, leaning forward onto his elbows. It wasn't that you weren't pleased to see him, but rather, you couldn't believe it was him. You really didn't like surprises. "And your reaction was truly something I had to experience in person, Yn."

You rolled your eyes, the tension breaking for just a second as the waiter set your martinis on the table and left. "Oh, I bet."

"I thought you missed me," he said, his lips pursed in a feigned pout.

Heat flared in your cheeks and you looked right into his eyes to ask, "Whatever gave you that idea?"

There was that wide, toothy smile of his again. "I just assumed, y'know," his tone was offhanded and casual as he took a sip of his drink, "because I missed you."

pairing : bf!taehyun x reader

warnings : suggestive if you squint

tracing the moles on taehyun's neck with your nimble fingers, you felt a smile tugging on your lips when he leaned in closer to your touch before letting out a sigh.

you're laying on top of him on the couch comfortably, his arms around your waist to secure you from falling, the tv serving as nothing but just as a white noise. taehyun had always loved cuddling with you on top of him, it made him feel closer to you, he had said, but really you think he just likes showing off his strength.

"you know, i really love your mole," you mindlessly said, placing a soft kiss against the skin. "and to be honest i like the feeling when you're kissing it," he said, rather abashed. and so you pressed your lips onto his neck again, firmer this time, even going as far as licking a strip along the skin slowly. taehyun shivered at the sudden gesture, a low groan escaping his lips. "yn," oh you could do this all day.

a/n — inspired by a gossip girl episode i just watched idk i kinda had fun writing this im probably gonna turn it into a full fic if everyone likes it !!!!

————

it was your birthday. not even a significant one, yet a party with this much grandeur would suggest otherwise. anyone would think it was celebrating a holiday like christmas or new year's eve.

to be fair, it was pretty magnificent and you were having the time of your life. in fact, you hadn't been this happy for a while. school was kicking your ass, not that you'd let it show, and your family couldn't care less about your feelings as they kept trying to force your relationship with choi yeonjun.

yeonjun was not a bad guy by any means. you truly did care for him as a friend and you knew the feeling was mutual. the two of you just weren't suited for each other romantically and you both knew this. it was becoming increasingly difficult to attend family affairs together and play the part of childhood sweethearts, linking arms and kissing cheeks as you were introduced to more forgettable faces. if you were being honest, this arrangement between your families was doing anything but bring you two together, lately you felt as though it was driving you apart.

you couldn't blame yeonjun, any time outside of school was pretty much spent at your side or yours at his. he was growing tired of pretending and getting worse at hiding it. you knew he was seeing other people frequently and you really didn't care, as long as he didn't get caught and make the situation more difficult for the both of you. if it kept him sane, you didn't mind. you didn't want to lose your friend completely.

speaking of yeonjun, you hadn't seen him for a while. you weaved through the crowd of people dressed to the nines, like yourself, and headed to the bar.

"hey chae, have you seen yeonjun recently?" you asked chaewon as she downed a shot.

"you just missed him, he came to snatch a bottle of wine and dragged soobin away with him." she giggled picking up her glass that the bartender refilled.

you quickly scanned the room and managed to catch a glimpse of yeonjun and soobin stumbling upstairs, one holding the wine and the other holding the glasses.

you rolled your eyes jokingly, "i just hope they end up in a guest room and not my bedroom."

chaewon laughed loudly, leaning back as she clutched her stomach, "yeonjun becomes more shameless everyday."

"yeah," you chuckled, motioning for the bartender to pour you a shot, "i do wish he'd be a little more careful, though."

chaewon knew where this conversation was going, she'd heard it many times before—not that she minded. she knew that talking about it was good for you, since there was no one else you trusted to tell. she always tried to keep the discussion light and full of jokes, you needed that and she knew it.

taehyun, who's eyes had been laser focused on you all night, could also easily guess where the conversation had ended up, even if he was on the other side of the room. your palm rested on your hairline as chaewon smiled, trying to coax a smile from you. he knew that look of despair on your face and chaewon's matching look of persistence as she continued joking about your complicated relationship with yeonjun.

he felt relieved when he finally saw you crack a grin and stand back up, heading back onto the makeshift dance floor—which looked incredible, if he did say so himself. after all, he'd organised this whole party, not that you knew it.

taehyun didn't even hear the girl who'd been talking to him for the last five minutes, he was lost in his own mind. "sorry, i need some air." he'd said bluntly, leaving her mid-sentence.

taehyun strode towards the patio balcony, grabbing a beer along the way. chaewon didn't miss this and was going to follow him out but chose to let him be alone for a minute first, since that's clearly what he wanted.

truthfully, you hadn't even been aware that taehyun was at your party. in your defense, there were a lot of people there and you didn’t get the chance to properly greet at least half of them.

chaewon decided she’d let taehyun mope for long enough. she was going to get him back inside one way or another.

she headed outside to the balcony, making sure to close the glass sliding door a little too loudly so that taehyun would know she’s there. as planned, taehyun threw a half-ass glance over his shoulder to see who had joined him.

“hi kang,” chaewon greeted, going to stand next to him, “what’s going on?” she dragged out the end of the question in a light-hearted tone.

“just getting some air.” replied, not bothering to spare chaewon another glance.

to his surprise, she laughed. “you’re lying. only sad people escape to the balcony at parties.” her eyes narrowed, “so what’s wrong?”

“i don’t know you that well.” taehyun tried to wriggle out of the question.

“i know, but i’m so smashed i probably won’t remember in the morning anyway.” she shrugged.

now she was the liar, but so what?

taehyun let out a big breath, like he’d been holding it for some time. “if you say so.”

“what’s the problem, kang?” chaewon asked, pushing herself up to sit on the railing.

taehyun immediately pulled her down as he simply replied, “its y/n.”

she almost choked on her drink, “well that’s not what i was expecting.”

“yeah, well, y’know.” it was his turn to shrug.

“what is it about y/n? do you like them?” chaewon questioned, starting to talk a little more seriously since he clearly wasn’t the laugh-off-your-problems type.

“what? no.” he replied a little too quickly and with too much defence in his tone, “i’m just worried about them.”

“why’s that?” she asked.

“well, it’s like this…” taehyun began.

the sofa you were sitting on had a great view of the balcony, so great in fact, that you saw the way chaewon placed a hand on taehyun’s back.

interesting, you thought. you were sure that chaewon wasn’t into boys.

you didn’t get much time to consider the situation as the guy sitting next to you slung his arm around you, pulling you closer.

“i don’t believe i’ve had the chance to wish you a happy birthday yet.” he practically whispered in your ear.

you recognised him as jay-something, you couldn’t remember his last name for the life of you. but that didn’t seem to matter to him as he placed a hand under your chin and turned your face towards him.

“is this okay for a birthday gift?” jay asked, making sure he wasn’t crossing any lines.

perhaps he didn’t know you and yeonjun were ‘dating’, perhaps he’d seen yeonjun run upstairs with soobin, or perhaps people were finally starting to realise the relationship wasn’t real between the two of you. whatever it was, not many people often offered to kiss you at parties, and when they did, you politely turned them down in fear of getting spotted with someone other than yeonjun.

however, if yeonjun was upstairs having a little fun, then you could do the same. besides, it was your birthday after all.

you nodded, “i couldn’t ask for anything better.”

with that, jay leant it and placed his lips on yours. it wasn’t long before you were on his lap and getting a little too carried away. to be fair, it had been a long time since you made out with someone, since you never did that with yeonjun and rarely had the opportunity to with anyone else. so you could excuse yourself for getting a little carried away, hands in hair and yearning kisses.

“…and now they’re in there sucking face with jay park.” taehyun said blankly, though he couldn’t bring himself to be mad when you pulled away with the biggest grin on your face.

“at least they look happy.” chaewon reasoned while she tried to soak in the entire dilemma that taehyun had just shared with her.

“that’s all i want.” he looked away, not able to stomach the sight of jay pulling you in for another kiss.

“we’ll work this out kang, don’t you worry too much, okay?” chaewon pat his back comfortingly once more before heading towards the door.

just as she was about to leave, taehyun called over his shoulder, “thanks for the talk, kim.”

she simply waved goodbye as she went back inside, leaving taehyun alone like he originally intended to be.

taehyun thought back on his conversation with chaewon. he knew he wasn’t in love, the two of you were nothing more than acquaintances, it wasn’t possible.

but if that was the case, then why was the thought of you making out with jay park completely nauseating? and why did the sight of your smile make his head spin?

a/n ; [gn!reader] got rained on today so it was the inspo for this fic 😭😭 also a couple enhy refrences.. 😈 the more you go down the more emojis 😭😭😭

lotus !

walking at the local shops after school.. walking around pinkies intertwined.. sipping on frozen coke.. finding out its raining outside.. decides to make a run for it.. giggling in the rain.. his jacket over your heads.. sighing in relief at the shaded bus stop.. sleeping on his shoulder.. when its your stop, tells you text him when you get home.. ( or he will insist to walk home with you ) ( but you didnt hear that from me )..

"have you eaten yet?" an excuse for him to treat you, like the real gentleman he is.. blowing the food for you so it wont burn your tongue.. spoon feed you with his hand under the spoon.. ' if you study this now, i'll treat you to any food you'd like. ' .. ( where'd all the worksheets go? )

drops silly gifts in your locker.. love letters.. a little suprise when you see him at the door next to you as he leans on the doorway with his hands crossed.. "like it?? i LOVE it"

small memorabillia of your relationship EVERYWHERE.. polaroids in his phonecase ( its like a poooooolaroid love 😍 ).. promise rings.. both of your initials craved in trees and tables.. ( possibly on the bus window?? ).. gives you annotated books with little notes on paragraphs that reminded him of you..

PLEASEEEE let him carry your bags for you.. PLEASE. for me he gives acts of service guy but yk its up to u .. WILL carry your bags for you no matter the circumstance.. like the moment he hears like one tiny groan of pain 🫡🫡.. ( where'd all the bags go?? )

acts of service and gift giving pt2.. idk if it counts as gift giving but.. looking at the store window as a clothing piece catches your eye.. looking at it going: ' its not for sale.. ' .. ( 😍your 🫶not, 🔥your ‼️not 💔for 😱sale 😫 ).. aaaand its in the cart..

"If you keep sitting in on my office hours like this, I'm going to start making you grade shit too."

Taehyun barely looks up from the book he's flipping through, though the little smile on his lips tells you he definitely heard. "I think that would be a breach of the academic code of conduct. Only TAs are supposed to be the ones reading the papers."

You groan, collapsing into a nearby chair in the classroom. "I know," you say, eyeing the pile of essays on the table in front of you with distaste. "But everyone who comes to my office hours already knows you, you’re always here. And you already answer all the questions as well as I do. You should be able to help me grade."

"Not true." He flips a page of his book. Nicomachean Ethics, you read on the cover, and immediately you pull a face. Before you can make a jab at his choice of entertainment, though, he continues. "You're the actual physics major. You know much more about that side than I do, and we both know this course focuses more on the physics than the philosophy."

He's right. Which he usually is, though you don't always like to admit it. You'd only taken this class, Intersections Between Physics and Philosophy, to fulfill the humanities requirement for your graduation—otherwise, your STEM-focused self probably never would have given it a second glance. To your relief, it was as your peers had said—more focused on physics, a little less on philosophy. 

It didn't stop Taehyun, the actual philosophy major (and physics minor, to your chagrin), from acing the class too, however. 

"Says the physics minor, philosophy major." You roll your eyes, but it doesn't carry any bite anymore—you've long gotten past your jealousy at the seeming effortlessness with which Taehyun does everything. "Why are you reading that? Is it for a class?" 

"Yeah, but it's pretty interesting." He finally looks up from the book, and you can see from his eyes that he's actually telling the truth. You don't bother to disguise the half disgust, half fondness that crosses your face, mostly because you know it'll make him smile. "Hey, don't look at me like that."

"You'd be more convincing if you weren't smiling right now," you point out, finally taking one of the stapled essays from the top of the stack on the table. "Three guesses on when the first student asks when we'll finish grading, even though we already posted it on the discussion board."

That actually pulls a laugh out of Taehyun. "Mm, before we get dinner tonight."

"Such a pessimist." You smack his arm with the paper. "Cut them some slack. I give it until Tuesday."

"Optimist." Taehyun scrunches up his nose. "Three guesses on when you'll actually finish grading one of those."

"Hey!" You hit him again as he snickers. "You're the one distracting me!"

"I'm just sitting here!" Taehyun puts his hands up, and you really can't even pretend to be mad at him, not when he looks like this—all impish and mischievous and sweet. "You're using me to distract yourself."

And yet again, he's right. You look at the paper in your hands, then at the stack still lying on the table. Actual despair forces your shoulders to slump as you think of all the reading you'll have to do tonight before and after dinner with Taehyun. Not just paper grading, but also the textbook chapters for your own courses, the notes for the actual physics class you're also TAing. It would be nice to just have one day, you think—one day, for fuck's sake, where you can enjoy your time with him without having to think about all the stuff you have to do before and after. 

"Hey." Taehyun's voice stops you from spiraling further. You glance up as he pulls his chair right next to you, placing Nicomachean Ethics on the table to take your hand instead. "You good?"

Half a smile tilts your lips as you look down at your linked fingers. It's not hard to remember how, for all your initial envy and annoyance at his seeming perfection, you let him in to become a friend, then a boyfriend. Because he's perfect, really. For you. He took the time to learn how to notice when you're thinking too much, when you're overwhelmed. He encouraged you to tell him what you need in these moments, and gave you his vulnerability in exchange for you. 

"Overwhelmed, I guess." You wave the paper in your other hand around halfheartedly. "Kind of scared that when we get back from dinner, I'm going to just freeze. And I won't be able to do any of the stuff I need to do."

Taehyun hums. "Library study date then? After dinner? In one of the quiet rooms, so we can focus."

You sigh a little, and the half smile turns into a full one when you look at him. You're always more productive in the library, especially when it's quiet, but you hate going by yourself. So it always helps when Taehyun comes with you as a quiet sort of boost to your energy. "Stop knowing what I need before I know it myself," you complain, but there's nothing behind it.

"I could say the same for you," he replies, squeezing your hand playfully. "You're the one who brings me coffee every morning we see each other even when I don't think I need it."

"It doesn't take a genius to know you're addicted to your daily cup of caramel flavored death," you snark. And when Taehyun scowls and pinches your wrist lightly in retaliation, you marvel at how easy it is to laugh in his presence—how easy it is to relax, to let go, to push aside your worries for just a moment to smile with him. 

Taehyun sniffs, breaking through your thoughts. "Just for that, you have to grade five of these before we go to dinner," he says, eyes glinting. "Don't complain, you'll thank me—and yourself—later."

He's right. Again. It used to piss you off and it still does, sometimes, but right now you agree even though you don't want to. "Fine," you say, because getting five of these done now means you'll only have to grade five more tonight to keep with the grading schedule. "But if I'm grumpy later, it's your fault."

"Even if you are, it won't be for long." Taehyun grins. "Not with me and my sparkling presence around, at least."

"Tch." For all your efforts, you can't stop a matching smile from spreading over your own lips, so you just hit him with the paper again. "Stop being right, it's incredibly annoying."

Taehyun picks up his own book threateningly. "Not as annoying as I'll be if you keep putting off your grading—"

You yelp and shove your chair away from the menacing pages of Nicomachean Ethics waving about in the air. "God, okay, I'll finish them!" you laugh, picking up four more essays. "Just don't distract me.

Taehyun laughs with you, and the sound sends warm tingles all up your skin as you sit back down. "I would never."

「 reader's pov 」

i tap my foot on the floor impatiently waiting for taehyun to walk through the door.

i've been waiting all day for him to come home. he's been really busy these days so i barely get to spend much time with him. today is no exception.

the moment he steps through the threshold of entrance i stop him making him eye me suspiciously.

"what's this all about?" he asks as i walk to him.

"it's nothing. come with me."

i grab both his hands, dragging him with me to our room leaving him very little time to take his shoes off.

"you're a little too energetic for this time of the day, should i be worried?" he asks wearily as we enter the room. "what's going on?"

i gesture to the bed where there's an outfit laid out for him.

"what's this for?"

"you ask too many questions. change into this and meet me outside, we'll be late."

"late for."

"times ticking babe!" i shout, exiting the room.

i quickly take the cooler box i had in the kitchen and take it to the car before he can see and once that's sorted i wait for hin by the door.

"i'm here."

i look at him, mentally patting myself on the back for the outfit i picked as if he wouldn't pick that for himself anyway.

"great let's go."

"where are we going?"

"shhh. no questions."

we get in the car and i start driving. the song playing very softly in the background is eclipse by ash island and i hear taehyun singing it under his breath next to me putting a smile on my face.

"eyes on the road you creep."

"you are you calling a creep?"

"you. staring at me like that."

"as if."

he smiles and so do i.

"you dragging me out in the woods to kill me?" taehyun questions once he sees me parking the car.

"maybe."

we get out of the car and i open the back seat to bring the seats up before going to open the boot.

"tadaaa." i sing, making hazz hands at the things in the boot.

"what's this?"

"a picnic terry. sit, let me set this up."

"i'll help."

"no no, i'll do it."

he pouts, sitting down on a rock nearby.

i set up the blankets and fairy lights for ambiance, struggling here and there but i still managed.

"okay, it's all set. come."

he stands up, looking at my hard work.

"don't just stand there." i gesture for him to get in the car so we can both get comfortable.

"i made us dinner." i said alarming him apparently because he looks at me wide-eyed.

"you cooked?" i nod. "is it safe?"

i hit his shoulder playfully.

"i can cook." i tell him, getting the containers out of the picnic basket.

"looks good." he comments once i open them.

"we'll see if it tastes good too."

we start eating and uhh...

"tastes... good-ish." he comments, but i know what he's really thinking.

"now i know damn well." he shakes his head, looking at me.

"it's a good effort." he tries reassures, taking another mouthfull. "i won't get food poisoning right?" he jokes making me snarl at him.

once we were done eating, we put away the containers of half eaten food, clearing up the space.

i reach into the cooler box and take out the cake i worked very hard on much to taehyun's surprise. i light the candles i put on the cake ans sing happy birthday to him very much off key and the smile never leaves his face, his dimple very much visible.

"baby."

"hmm?"

"you didn't have to." he tells me, holding my hands as he looks straight into my eyes.

"i wanted to. come on. it's a fire hazard to have these on here." i tell him, pointing to the lit candles on the cake. "make a wish."

"i have all i need here with me though."

"since when have you been so cheesy?" i ask, deadpanned expression making him laugh. "candles are melting." i urge and he closes his eyes before he blows the candles out. "so what did you wish for?"

"won't come true if i tell you." he tells me.

"wine?" i offer.

"you brought wine too?"

"yes. we're going all out today." he smiles to himself as i get the glasses and pour us each a glass.

"to finally being of legal drinking age in the states."

he shakes his head, smiling before clinking our glasses.

"happy birthday taehyun." i say to him and he leans in to press a kiss on my lips.

"thank you baby."

we cuddle up together after eating the cake that was surprisingly not too bad while listening to the music playing softly on my phone.

okay it's like 10pm here so it's still the 5th. i kinda planned to post this earlier but then i fell asleep so here we are.
