The trip had finally made its way out of the group chat.
After months of planning and anticipation, the beginning of their getaway together had now arrived. Nobody could wait- excited for the once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable memories they would soon make together.
Y/N, Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki, had all come together to go on a week’s trip away from this all-too-familiar town, and into the countryside. Luckily, Y/N’s parents owned a few vacation homes here and there, making it easy to find a place where the entire group could stay.
The plan was simple; a week away into the forests of the countryside while staying at one of Y/N’s vacation homes together. A chance to reconnect with nature and each other. And, if something did happen to go wrong, there was a small town five minutes or so down the road where they could find everything they could possibly need.
Early this morning, everyone gathered at the two cars that they would be taking to get to the house. After a lot of arguing and rounds of the game ‘rock, paper, scissors’, it was decided who would be in each car. In car one, there was Y/N, Heeseung, and passenger Jungwon up front alongside Jay, who would be the one driving. In car two, there was Jake, Ni-ki, passenger Sunoo, and driver Sunghoon.
There was a lot of pushing and shoving things into the car, but it all fit eventually. Well, after everyone tirelessly convinced Sunoo and Y/N that they did not need multiple bags full of non-essential things each. Everyone had been on the road for a few hours now with a couple of pit stops here and there, but now they were down to just 30 minutes left on the road trip until they would finally arrive at their destination.
Everyone had managed to keep their energy up until now, except for Heeseung. Currently, car one was doing carpool karaoke, but Heeseung was not joining in at all.
Y/N turned to Heeseung, who was sitting beside her with his arms crossed and head slightly tilted back, “Hey why aren’t you singing with us? Do you not like the song?”
“Yeah man, If I gotta sing, you have to as well. Don’t make me do it alone with these weirdos,” Jay joined, looking at Heeseung through the car mirror.
“Don’t act like you aren’t enjoying it Jay,” Jungwon huffed, leaning against the car window and watching the trees blur by quickly as they drove forward along the lengthy straight road.
“Can we just open a window? I’m hella motion sick right now,” Heeseung grumbled in response.
Y/N grabbed the closest water bottle and handed it to Heeseung, “drink some water, it’ll help. We should have had Hee sit up front.”
“That helps?” Jungwon questioned.
“Yeah, I mean that's what my parents told me whenever I asked to sit up front. They said they got motion sick in the back of the car,” Y/N shrugged.
Jay laughed, “Sounds like they were just trying to make up something so they wouldn’t have to sit in the back.”
“Whatever, they wouldn’t do that,” Y/N rolled her eyes.
“First stage, denial,” Jay continued to joke.
“Be quiet. Anyway, I wonder how the other guys are doing,” Y/N laid back into her seat again.
Jungwon pulled out his phone, “I’ll text them.”
︵‿︵‿୨🩹୧‿︵‿︵
Meanwhile, Ni-ki and Jake were doing some intense thumb wrestling matches in the back of the other car, pulling each other around aggressively; the pair of them were very obviously cheating at the game. Sunoo peacefully scrolled through his phone up front, glad to be a little bit away from the mad duo in the back.
“Can you guys quit?” Sunghoon kept his eyes on the road as he scolded them.
“What?” Jake sassed.
“Quit bickering for the love of my sanity. You’re actually now making the car sway,” Sunghoon complained.
“It’s Jake's fat ass tilting the car,” Ni-ki snapped back.
“What ass? He has an ass?” Sunoo added, eyes still on his phone.
Jake threw his arms in the air, “I have an ass it's just not fat alright? AND I’M NOT TILTING THE FUCKING CAR!”
Ni-ki was in a fit of laughter, almost wetting himself right then and there.
Sunghoon shook his head, “seriously guys stop.”
Sunoo turned up the car volume, “Yeah shut up, my song is about to play.”
It was a cutesy song to which Sunoo somehow knew all the dance movements.
“Get Sunoo off of aux RIGHT NOW,” Ni-ki yelled in horror, covering his ears as if it was physically paining him. He reached up into the middle to grab Sunoo’s phone.
Sunoo began screaming, “LET GO OF ME, YOU CAN’T REACH UP HERE!”
Sunghoon suddenly swerved sharply for a half second, making everyone sit back and go silent in fear, “Is that seriously what it takes to get you all to shut the hell up?”
“Wait, Jungwon texted me,” Sunoo opened up his phone again after seeing the notification briefly light up on his screen, “apparently Heeseung is super motion sick or something. He said Heeseung really doesn’t look too great.”
︵‿︵‿୨🌡️୧‿︵‿︵
Heeseung had been asleep for a while now. The music had been turned down in order to let him rest for the rest of the drive. His head slowly fell softly onto Y/N’s shoulder, still sound asleep.
“Oh my god, I can feel the heat radiating off of him. He’s so warm,” Y/N whispered with a shocked tone to the two that were still awake.
Jungwon looked to the back of the car where Heeseung was with a concerned expression, “I don’t think that’s a normal symptom of motion sickness… maybe he should take some medication.”
“Shit, I left all the first aid and medication with Sunoo in the other car. How much longer until we arrive?”
“It’s just over there, I can see the house. I just need to pull up,” Jay answered.
As Jay pulled up to the vacation home and parked the car, Y/N slowly detached herself from Heeseung- gently propping his head back up to a natural, comfortable position. He was definitely one of the deepest sleepers amongst the friend group.
Everyone exited the car, reuniting with the other half of their friends who were getting out of the other car a few spots behind them. Niki and Jake came out of the car trying to headlock each other, but that wasn’t a surprise to anyone. In fact, you could probably get rich from betting on it.
Sunghoon approached Y/N and the others, looking absolutely drained.
“Oh my, what happened? Are you alright?” Y/N scanned him with worry that another one of her friends might be unwell.
“Now you listen to me Y/N. Don’t you ever leave me with them two ever again,” Sunghoon pointed toward the culprits, Jake and Ni-ki, who had finally let go of each other?
Y/N giggled, “So sorry about that. I forgot how they are when they’re left together for more than five minutes. I’ll rig the game of rock, paper, scissors for the journey home and make sure they’re separate.”
“Thank goodness,” Sunghoon sighed in relief.
Sunoo joined the conversation with wide eyes, “where’s Heeseung? Is he okay?”
“He’s still in the car. I didn’t want to wake him ye-“
Y/N paused when she looked toward the car again, spotting Ni-ki quickly approaching the car door, swinging it open while snickering, and taking goofy 0.5 pictures of Heeseung asleep. Then he started tickling him.
Heeseung woke up and swung at him, in which Ni-ki had only just avoided by luck. Heeseung grumbled grumpily at him, swearing under his breath.
“Caught you slacking,” Ni-ki teased.
“Just you wait,” Heeseung mumbled back while unbuckling his seatbelt. He took barely two steps out of the car and began to stumble over. Luckily, Ni-ki caught him before he made friends with the pebble-infested floor.
Everyone gasped and rushed over to help quickly, “Get him inside, right now.”
︵‿︵‿୨🍵୧‿︵‿︵
A little while later, Jay came rushing back into the house with a doctor from the city down the road. He had left almost immediately to get some help for Heeseung.
The doctor placed his bags beside the couch where Heeseung was lying down, surrounded by everyone who looked worried sick for their dear friend. The doctor then knelt down beside Heeseung and took his temperature. He did some general checking, making sure Heeseung’s vitals were good and everything like that.
“Tsk, he’s got a fever alright,” the doctor examined the thermometer, “he will be okay though. He’s just got an aggressive cold right now. Just make sure to keep breaking any spontaneous fevers that may come back and make him rest a lot. Oh, and give him these,” he handed a bottle of specific medication to Sunoo as he stood up, “just call me if anything worsens, or if anything happens that you’re not sure about.”
“Thank you so much,” Jay guided the doctor to the door and waved him goodbye, thanking him one final time before the doctor left.
Y/N took the medication from Sunoo and took two pills out into the palm of her hand. She sat down beside Heeseung with a glass of water in her other hand, “You gotta take these Hee.”
Heeseung weakly sat up with a little bit of help from Ni-ki. He then leaned toward Y/N with his mouth slightly agape, who then placed each pill carefully into his mouth and helped tip the glass of water into his mouth.
Jake approached with some random bags of frozen things that he found last second and placed them against Heeseung to help him stay cool. Initially, the cold made Heeseung flinch a little, but he accepted it, “really? Frozen cranberries?”
“It’s all there was man,” Jake apologised, making Heeseung chuckle lightly.
Jungwon had run upstairs but shortly returned with as many pillows as his little arms could hold. Ni-ki and Jungwon worked together to make sure Heeseung was as comfortable as lying on a couch could be.
Muffled quarrelling could be heard from the kitchen. It was Jay and Sunghoon.
Jay was trying to make some comforting and healing food for Heeseung with his own cooking knowledge, meanwhile, Sunghoon made laps around the kitchen looking at his phone, and reading out overly fancy complicated remedies and recipes. He may have been trying to be helpful, but Jay had to deny everything he suggested and constantly remind him once again they ‘do not have the ingredients for that shit.’
After everything was more settled, everyone left Heeseung to sleep peacefully on the couch while they went outside the back and started setting up the campfire.
︵‿︵‿୨🩹୧‿︵‿︵
Hours later, Heeseung awoke to the faint sound of obnoxious laughter and shouting from outside which travelled through the windows of the house.
He sat up, still drenched in sweat that his fever had graciously gifted him. He looked around for a few moments, processing everything. His eyes trailed across the empty glasses on the table beside him and a bowl filled with soup that had gone completely cold. He felt bad- Jay must have left it for him to eat when he woke back up, but he had slept far too long.
The sound of his friends having fun and enjoying themselves made Heeseung jealous. He was envious that everyone except him was getting to have fun and make the memories he so desperately waited for the second the plans were made. He couldn’t stand being so vulnerable, so he got up even if his body wasn’t ready yet.
Heeseung made his way outside the back, and toward the campfire where everyone sat casually talking about anything and everything that came to their heads at the moment.
“It’s your turn- oh, Heeseung’s up,” Jungwon announced upon seeing Heeseung approaching.
“You’re not supposed to be getting up and walking around yet Hee,” Y/N lectured him.
“I’m feeling fine,” Heeseung lied, taking a seat next to Sunoo, “what did I miss?”
Heeseung lasted about fifteen minutes before he began to feel lightheaded again, his body slowly tilting backward involuntarily every now and then. Except suddenly, he couldn't keep himself upright anymore and the next thing he knew, everything went black.
︵‿︵‿୨🌡️୧‿︵‿︵
When Heeseung awoke again, he was greeted by Y/N leaning over the bed he lay in, caressing his hair, while sitting in a random chair she had pulled up to sit beside him.
“How did I get here?” Heeseung sat up, taking in the room he was unfamiliar with.
“Well luckily for you, it isn’t a hospital room. We’re just in one of the spare bedrooms,” Y/N explained.
“Oh. Did I faint?” Heeseung couldn’t recollect any memory from just before he had passed out until now.
“Yes, you did,” Y/N sighed heavily, “and you gave us all a heart attack. You could have fallen forwards, straight into the fire Heeseung! You could have died, we could have lost you,” Y/N scolded him.
“I’m sorry.”
“I don’t mean to yell at you as soon as you wake up, but it was really scary. Promise me you won’t get up and do stuff when you’re not actually better,” Y/N calmed down a little.
Heeseung felt incredibly guilty, “I promise. I’m really sorry I put you guys through that.”
“As long as you keep your promise Heeseung. If anything, I’m partly responsible. I shouldn’t have left you unsupervised like that. I’m sorry,” Y/N shook her head in self-shame.
Heeseung reached for Y/N’s hand, holding it gently, “Don’t blame yourself.”
Y/N stuck by Heeseung’s side for the rest of the night, falling asleep upright in her chair, slumped slightly over herself uncomfortably.
︵‿︵‿୨🍵୧‿︵‿︵
The next morning, Heeseung awoke to Jungwon and Jake by the side of his bed rather than Y/N whom he had seen in that spot last. It took him by surprise, making him jump a little.
“C’mon bro, Jungwon ain’t that ugly,” Jake joked.
Jungwon slapped him on the arm harshly, “I change my mind, I don't need you in here.”
“Where’s Y/N?” Heeseung asked curiously, ignoring them, and wondering where Y/N had disappeared to, and if she had spent the whole night there in the chair that was still placed beside him. He hoped that she had not sacrificed her sleep for him.
“She went grocery shopping about an hour ago. She should be back soon,” Jungwon answered.
“Yeah, and she put us on babysitting duty,” Jake added, throwing a slight verbal dig at Heeseung.
On cue, Y/N returned loudly through the door trying to carry all the shopping bags inside in one trip, “I’m back!”
After some time spent putting away the groceries, Y/N made her way into the main room where Heeseung was already sitting on the couch waiting. Jake and Jungwon had gone outside to join the others on a nature walk. Y/N decided it was probably better not to tag along- she would much rather hear about the chaos of a walk they created when they return, rather than have to be a part of it.
“Good afternoon Hee, how are you holding up this morning?” She sat in the chair opposite him.
He looked at her with an eyebrow raised, “Did you stay in that chair all night?”
“Is it a problem?”
“Y/N, you don’t have to do that,” Heeseung sighed, feeling guilty again.
“It’s okay. If I would have left, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep anyway,” she assured him.
“I’m sorry I’ve basically ruined the start of this trip,” Heeseung hung his head in disappointment.
Y/N sat up with an angry expression, “Don’t be ridiculous. You haven’t ruined a thing.”
Heeseung began to cough a bit concerningly, earning a worried look from Y/N.
“Stay put. I’ll be right back,” Y/N pointed at her eyes and then back at him as if she were warning him that she was watching him.
She rushed around in the kitchen and returned after a few minutes with two mugs, one in each hand, and a packet of Heeseung’s favourite snack hanging from her mouth held by the clench of her teeth.
“What’s this?” Heeseung took the mug from her carefully.
“I got some of your favourite snacks while I was out shopping,” Y/N pointed to the mug in his hands, “and that’s tea with a spoonful of honey. Trust me, it helps when you’re sick. Drink up!” Y/N took a sip from her own mug, sitting down next to Heeseung now.
Heeseung smiled at her and copied her, taking a sip from his mug; he widened his eyes with the pleasant taste, humming in enjoyment.
“It’s good right?” Y/N watched him eagerly.
He nodded enthusiastically, and they both giggled.
︵‿︵‿୨🩹୧‿︵‿︵
Later that evening, everyone gathered and agreed to do something in which they could include Heeseung this time so that he didn’t feel left out like he had felt the night before. Plus, the guys really missed him during the day. It just felt so empty when they weren’t all together, all the time.
It was decided that they would all do a movie night. It was a great idea, something everyone could enjoy, and something Heeseung could join without having to get up from the chair or out of the blankets the other guys had earnestly wrapped him up in.
They watched a few movies: comedy, horror, action. For the final movie, they put on a romance movie. It didn’t take long for almost everyone to fall asleep during it. Arguably, it was very late. But Y/N complained that she was the only one interested enough to not get bored and drift off to sleep.
Sunghoon was out like a light in the singular chair on the furthest side of the room. By his feet were Jay, Jake, and Ni-ki who had collectively fallen asleep together all huddled up in a shared blanket on the floor, knackered from the amount of yelling they all did during the horror movie. Light snores could be heard, but it wasn’t clear who was the one producing the snoring. It was probably Jake.
Sunoo and Jungwon shared one side of the couch. Jungwon’s hair was flopped all out of place, twinning with Sunoo’s hair beside him which was doing the exact same thing. They looked like two little pom-poms together.
On the other side of the couch were Heeseung and Y/N. Heeseung was fast asleep and had fallen asleep first out of everyone. It was excused though, because he must have been exhausted from the horrible illness fighting his body right now.
Y/N on the other hand, was wide awake. Her eyes threatened to close a few times here and there at the sight of all her best friends asleep so comfortably, but alas her eyes stayed glued to the TV. She refused to let the movie go to waste.
Beside her, Heeseung began to shuffle around and mumble to himself. From what Y/N could tell, he was still asleep. He must have been dreaming. She found herself staring a little at him, noticing his eyebrows furrowed together as if he were in pain. Before she could even tap him, his eyes fluttered open, meeting hers.
Y/N looked away quickly as if she wasn’t staring, and then looked back at him, “Are you alright?” She whispered, cautious not to wake the others so closely located to her.
“I’m alright, why are you still awake?” Heeseung asked, sitting up properly.
“The movie hasn’t finished,” she pointed to the TV.
Heeseung laughed, “How did we get to romantic movies?”
“It was my idea.”
“I mean,” Heeseung scanned the room of sleeping bodies, “I think I can tell,” he teased.
“Oh, whatever. It’s a good movie,” Y/N scoffed, diverting her attention back toward the TV.
“Aren’t you uncomfortable?” He whispered after a few minutes.
Y/N shrugged, “It’s not awful, but a little I guess.”
Heeseung grabbed Y/N’s arm and pulled her towards him, “come closer then.”
“Oh okay,” Y/N felt herself get a little shy at the sudden gesture.
Heeseung adjusted the blanket, snaking his arm around her and pulling her into the blanket with him, and smiled.
Y/N smiled back, “Thanks, Hee.”
Eventually, the pair fell asleep with their heads against one another.
︵‿︵‿୨🌡️୧‿︵‿︵
“Shut the fuck up you’re so loud.”
“You’re gonna wake them up.”
“Move, I want to take a picture too.”
“Ni-ki stop taking selfies with them, that’s just plain wrong.”
Heeseung’s eyes opened to the sight of the other guys hovering around him with their cameras in his face, giggling mischievously amongst themselves, “What the hell?”
Then it became clear as he felt someone’s arms suddenly move slightly around his waist. It was Y/N. They must have fallen asleep and somehow ended up holding one another on the couch. How it actually happened, he had no recollection of.
And because of Y/N’s reaction when she had finally sat up fully awake and realised- it was clear she probably had no recollection of this either.
“Oh my god that’s embarrassing,” she held her flushed face in her hands.
“Ni-ki I know you ain’t laughing like you weren’t all snuggled up with Sunghoon’s feet last night,” Heeseung teased defensively.
“WHAT THE HELL NO I WASN’T,” Ni-ki yelled back, clearly offended at such an insult.
“Don’t bring me into this,” Sunghoon rubbed the sides of his head, annoyed.
“Anyway,” Heeseung interrupted, “good news. I think I’m healed.”
“You better not be lying,” Jake squinted at him suspiciously, not believing it.
“No deadass, I feel so much better,” Heeseung beamed.
The guys cheered and jumped around in excitement, “We can finally start off this trip properly.”
“So, what are we doing today?” Jay asked amongst the sudden chatter.
Just then, a nasty-sounding cough came from beside Heeseung. It came from Y/N, and everyone looked her way immediately. She looked like she hadn’t even slept, even though she most definitely had.
Heeseung placed his palm against her forehead. It was very warm. She must have caught the sickness from him.
Heeseung laughed in astonishment,
“Actually guys, I think we got some other work to do first.”
🤒 end!! 🤧

preview: “The tension between you was so thick, you could almost suffocate. But maybe it was just you getting in your own head. This didn’t have to be a slightly intimate interaction, he could just be being friendly.”
You were on a no-caffeine streak for a while now. Almost a week. Maybe it wasn’t really that impressive, but a week of no coffee for you was never heard of before. You were actually really proud of it and began bragging to people how you hadn’t touched a drop of caffeine, and how you intended not to touch any for at least a month.
But that all came crumbling down today. You were so sluggish, it was actual torture to not drink any coffee this morning. What really did not help were the strangely dark clouds outside and the type of air that just fills you with grogginess for the whole day. Winter was approaching pretty fast this year, so that would explain this type of weather. These days, it felt like it was dark when you left for work, and dark when you returned home.
All your progress, ruined, before it had even really gotten somewhere just for one cup of your favourite pick-me-up drink this morning. Was it really worth it?
Absolutely.
To be completely honest, you did hesitate for a moment about it outside the door of your favourite regular cafe, but as soon as that beautiful smell of coffee beans hit your nose, and the warm embrace of the cozy cafe ambiance with just one-half step inside of the building hugged you- you were completely convinced it was all going to be more than just a little worth it. You actually physically felt yourself hold back an urge to skip inside with excitement.
“Please hold it for me!” A man's voice urged from behind you. Of course, you held it for him. He was quite tall and looked very neat and put together. Well, ignoring the slight panic in his eyes and the messy bundle of things in his arms.
“Thank you! I’m sorry, my bag has just come loose and I'm trying to hold all the stuff in,” he laughed nervously as he walked past you into the cafe.
“No problem,” you laughed lightly back.
You approached the pale, slender cashier who immediately recognized you, “Y/n? It’s been a while. Where have you been?”
“It’s only been a week, Sunghoon, don’t be dramatic,” you joked.
“Well, what can I get you? The usual?”
“Yes please!” You beamed.
He smiled, “Alright! Cash or card?”
You pulled out your card and handed it to the barista, zoning into empty space as you waited for the payment to go through.
“Oh, do you have another card? This one declined.”
“Oh my gosh, what?” You took the card back from him, realising you had brought an expired card with you. You were so tired this morning, you didn’t check what you had picked up before you left for your break. You felt around your pockets for a minute, but deep down you hopelessly knew you had left all other cards and cash in your bag which was sitting pretty under your work desk.
By now, there were a few customers behind you. You didn’t want to make things complicated.
“I’m sorry but I’m going to have to cancel my order-“
“Allow me,” the guy you had held the door for earlier came forward from behind you in the line and tapped his card against the machine.
“Oh my goodness, no! Please cancel that!” You panicked and yelled at Sunghoon, the barista.
“Wait, don't! Please, let me pay for it. It’s nothing, really!” The generous guy joined in with a panicked response.
“But-“
“Okay not trying to be rude here guys, but can you decide. Please?” Sunghoon pleaded. He was not paid well enough for this and other customers were already mumbling and grumbling amongst themselves in line.
You looked at the stranger with an apologetic face, but he only continued to reassure you that it was okay. He really insisted on paying. You nodded at Sunghoon in approval of not cancelling the payment after all.
Sunghoon then continued to take the man's order, leaving you and the stranger standing awkwardly beside each other waiting for the drinks to be made.
“You really didn’t have to do that you know,” you began, breaking the silence.
“I wanted to,” he smiled and paused for a moment, “what’s your name by the way? I don’t believe I have ever seen you around here before.”
“Oh really? That’s a surprise. I’m always out and about, and as for this cafe I’m kind of a regular,” you smiled.
He hummed in understanding, “I could guess by the way the barista seemed to know you.”
You laughed, “Yeah, I suppose it's a little obvious.”
“And your name?”
“Oh sorry, it’s y/n. How about you?”
“You can call me Jay.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Jay.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you too, y/n,” he held out his hand for a handshake, but you misunderstood and gave him a high-five instead. It took him by surprise, but he laughed it off.
“Oh I'm so sorry I thought you were asking for-“
Jay interrupted you by suddenly shifting his hand to complete your high-five, “No need to be embarrassed, I’ll take a high-five too.”
You laughed about it together and then began some more small talk for a few remaining minutes discussing the usually boringly common topics like work, and how long you’ve lived here, except you actually enjoyed it more than you expected to. You were glad that you had made the choice to ruin your caffeine-sober streak today. Meeting new people was refreshing.
But since your job practically required you to talk to new people every day, and this was something you did daily- maybe it was just Jay that was refreshing. He was actually very intriguing, and not just because he was admittedly pretty to look at. You couldn’t really put it into the right words, but something about the way he talked and used so many unique minor expressions really caught your attention. He was so polite too. Attentive. Thoughtful. A nice outcast from the stereotypical modern type of men you were used to seeing everywhere these days.
Either way, this random interchange completely altered your day into something ten times better than it had originally been.
Coincidentally, your drinks were ready and called at the same time. Jay carefully passed you your drink while picking up his own, being cautious to not accidentally burn you with the hot cup. You thanked him once more and both headed out toward the door. Jay held it for you this time, arguing that it was only equal for him to do so since you had held the door for him on the way in.
Your smile quickly faded as you noticed the heavy rain that had begun a little while ago pouring down in front of you. You hadn’t noticed it right away because of the cafe marquee that slightly protected the street and kept the outer entrance dry. You sighed, staring in disbelief that you were going to have to spend the rest of work today in soaked clothes.
“Something wrong?” Jay questioned upon seeing your face flush with worry.
He made you jump a little because you had sort of expected him to be gone by now. You thought he had left immediately when you had exchanged some final thank yous and goodbyes at the door on the way out. When actually, he had stuck around for a minute to see you off.
“Oh no, it’s just that I have to walk in this horrible weather,” you replied defeatedly.
Jay thought for a moment, “wait here.”
You widen your eyes in confusion and surprise as you watch Jay run straight into the rain, completely soaking himself and his coffee within seconds only to disappear around the corner for a few minutes.
You kept checking your phone for the time, wondering if he was even going to come back or if you should just leave. You didn’t even know what he was doing or why he had asked you to wait here.
Meanwhile, Jay was rushing around the local mini-store for umbrellas. Finally, when he found them he picked up the closest two. One for you, and one for him. But then, he looked at the pair of them and put one back with a cheesy smile that showed that he had some sort of motive behind the peculiar decision.
Eventually, Jay returned, walking toward you in the rain, holding a single closed umbrella with floppy drenched hair, clothes tightly stuck to him, and a bright smile. It made your cheeks feel warm as you smiled shyly back.
You couldn’t help but laugh a little, “you’re ridiculous and insane. You went into the rain to fetch an umbrella?”
“It would appear I did,” he laughed lightly too, handing you the umbrella.
“Why did you only get one? You should take this,” you tried to hand it back to him but he refused and pushed it away with a frown and disapproving shake of his head.
You tried again, “Please, you’ve already done a lot for me this morning. It’s not that bad, I can dry off at work.”
“Let’s share it then,” he suggested, taking the umbrella and holding it up for the both of you, “you said earlier that your workplace was the same way as mine anyway.”
“Oh, well alright then,” you felt yourself blush involuntarily as you began walking very closely, side by side together.
At first, it was awkward and a little uncomfortable, but that feeling didn’t stick around for long. Jay made conversation here and there, making it easy to follow along and it made you feel more confident about being almost attached by the hip to someone you met under an hour ago. Sometimes it would fall silent, but it was a comfortable silence. You would both drift off into your own thoughts for a minute or two.
You had no idea what Jay was thinking about, but you wondered if maybe he was thinking similar things to you. Maybe the situation just wasn’t awkward at all to him, and you were just overthinking it. You couldn't help but be curious about what he thought of you. Hopefully, you made a good impression, and hopefully, he was as comfortable as you were right now.
It was just now that you were noticing how good he smelled for the first time. He smelt as clean and fresh as he looked. His cologne was potent through his wet shirt.
He smelled expensive.
You also noted how tall he was beside you. After some sneaky glances here and there, you saw how sharp his jawline really was. It was as unreal as it had looked from a distance.
When you went to glance over at him again, he caught you. Instantaneously, your eyes snapped forward to avoid it, but he was already softly chuckling upon catching you staring.
“If you have questions, you can ask them, you know,” he laughed.
You laughed in embarrassment, nodding.
Jay began to elaborate, “It's just because you were looking-“
“I thought I saw a bug,” you lied with rosy cheeks.
“You’re a bad liar.”
“No really, I’m telling the truth!”
“Okay, I’ll believe you,” he smiled, seeing right through your attempt to cover up your obvious stares.
The tension between you was so thick, you could almost suffocate. But maybe it was just you getting in your own head. This didn’t have to be a slightly intimate interaction, he could just be being friendly.
As if you were an open book and Jay was reading your mind, he looked over to you.
“You keep drifting out from under the umbrella. Isn’t your shoulder getting wet?”
“A little but it's fine,” you shrugged.
“Come closer, I won't hurt you” he went to put his arm around you to pull you in but he hesitated, “may I?”
You could swear that your face was painted red with blush now, but you nodded anyway and let it happen. He was ever so gentle, making sure he wasn’t pushing it too far. Keeping his arm around you but loosely just in case you might change your mind.
You continued to walk like that together with uncontrollable smiles plastered on each of your faces until you reached the outside of your work building. It was such a peaceful moment that you would surely hold onto it for a very long time after the fact. It had been a while since you felt this rush of emotion that you were so sure had left you years ago.
The rain had cleared up now, spitting slightly still, but nothing compared to what it had been. Jay walked you up to where it was sheltered so that you wouldn’t have to get a single drop of rain on you. You felt bad that he was still very much soaked, while you looked as if you hadn’t been outside at all today.
“Thank you, again, Jay,” you stood in front of him.
“No, thank you, y/n.”
You fiddled with your hands a little, looking down, “perhaps, could I take your number so that I can pay you back later?”
Jay chuckled, “You can have my number, but you’re not paying me back.”
You rolled your eyes playfully, handing him your phone anyway to type in his number.
You then both briefly waved goodbye and you began walking into your building, hiding a giddy smile.
“Y/N!”
You turned quickly to the sound of Jay yelling your name and ran back towards him.
He held out the umbrella to you, “Take this. It’s yours now.”
Without argument, you took the umbrella and waved goodbye once more. You didn’t turn back this time, but you could feel Jay’s eyes on you- watching to make sure you got in with no problems before walking away himself.
Later on, you found yourself staring at the brightly coloured umbrella leaning against your work desk.
You drifted into the thought of the umbrella and a certain guy, with a smile lingering on your lips.

WHOS EXCITED (I AM).

sweet (in)convenience.

tags/desc: (have you ever gone to the store with your parents and they randomly rush away leaving you in line by yourself while they grab something ‘quickly’? yeah, that’s what this is.) introverted, socially anxious reader and soft teasing sunghoon who does the talking for them. holding hands, brief kisses, reassurance, friendly teasing, short convenience store trip with sunghoon.
genre: fluff, comfort, established relationship.
pairing: sunghoon x you (y/n), gender neutral but term ‘passenger princess’ is used.
warnings: pet names like ‘babe’ & ‘love’ used a few times. very brief mention of a panic/anxiety attack.
wc≈ 1.6k, one shot format.
“What’s going on with all these people?” Sunghoon scanned around the cramped store, bewildered by the number of people as the bell on the door announced your entrance.
“I guess there must be some sort of celebration or event going on somewhere close by and people needed some snacks or something,” you shrugged.
He suddenly gasped, making you look up at him in wonder, “Or maybe they’re gaining supplies because they’re revolting against something and we’re missing out.”
You stared at him blankly.
“Okay, yeah. Let’s go with your idea.”
You giggled, giving him an eye roll in response. Sunghoon was quite silly, but he was really nice company. Being around him always felt sort of like there was a bubble around you, providing you protection and always making you feel so comfortable and safe no matter where you were, or went. As long as he was by your side, it was okay.
You followed Sunghoon around as he grabbed things off the shelves, “what are we actually here for again?”
“I wanted to grab a few things for that gathering I’m going to later with the guys. I’m pretty sure everyone is bringing some sort of snack. Plus, we desperately need milk in the house. We’re out again.”
Sunghoon quickly closed the door of the store's refrigerator. Then, you followed him into the queue for checkout. He had already gotten what he needed.
You sighed, “Well, maybe if you didn’t drink milk on its own, we would actually have some left for the cereal.”
“What’s your problem with drinking milk on its own? It’s good. Literally, don’t bash it until you’ve tried it, girl.” Sunghoon tried to do some sort of swish with his hair and neck, but it didn’t work like he had intended it to.
Your eyes widened with surprise and you let out a small laugh, “Why are you trying to sound sassy?”
“Did you not hear? It’s the… what’s it called? Oh right, the sassy man apocalypse, or something like that. Ah, can you also hold this for me? I forgot something. I’ll be right back,” he shoved the shopping basket into your arms, flashed you a thankful smile, and winked as he dashed off to grab whatever he had forgotten.
You felt a rush of anxiety, “Uh actually Sunghoon-“
You had tried to call out to him before he ran off, but he had left so fast and couldn’t hear you over the noise of the crazy amount of customers in the store.
“He’ll be quick,” you internally thought- trying to reassure yourself. It was very hard to believe since Sunghoon had just left you in the checkout line all by yourself with his basket of stuff and absolutely no money or preparation.
There were only a few people in front of you. You couldn’t help but immediately start to overthink it all. Another customer finished, leaving one left until it was your turn. No sight of Sunghoon yet.
Maybe it all seemed a bit dramatic to anybody else, but to you, this was one of the most terrifying situations to be in. You had really bad social anxiety and besides Sunghoon and those closest to you- you didn’t really talk to people much. At least not if you didn’t have to. People thought you were just a little shy, but you really couldn’t help it. You could barely remember a time when you had ever been comfortable in public alone interacting with people. These days, you brought Sunghoon everywhere with you.
If you had to interact with the cashier right now, explain that you actually don't have any money on you to pay for it, inconvenience not only the cashier but the customers behind you too, and have to tell them to wait- oh it was all just too much for you. Your mind spiralled. You were sure you’d have a breakdown.
You then began to feel the symptoms of a panic attack come on. Your palms began to become clammy with sweat and your chest suddenly became tight as if there was an excessive depletion of oxygen in the room or something like that. Your breath became irregular and on the brink of hyperventilation.
And even with all of this, you still tried to keep composed so that the people around you wouldn’t judge you.
“Next customer please.”
It was your turn, but you felt yourself freeze in the spot. A sharp ringing began in your ears and the environment around you became blurred as if it was all happening all at once.
A familiar pair of warm arms wrapped around you, embracing you from behind gently. It broke you out from your episode, and suddenly you felt relieved again.
“Hey babe, it’s our turn silly.”
Sunghoon had returned just in time, but you felt like it had taken him forever. You looked up at him with weary eyes as he let go and took the basket from you, putting it up on the register counter. He then turned back to you and tucked your hair away from your face and behind your left ear.
“Love, how about you wait on that bench outside for me?” His eyes scanned yours, feeling guilty for leaving you alone like that.
And so you did wait patiently as he checked out, paid, and came out from the bustling mini store. You got up from the bench and he instantly reached for your hand, neatly quilting the gaps between each of your fingers with his own. He had such pretty hands- you were sure they were built especially just for yours.
“I’m so sorry for taking so long, my love. There were these annoying kids that just wouldn’t get out of the way,” he apologised sincerely, “I would’ve pushed them over or kicked them in the back of the legs if it wasn't, like, borderline illegal.”
“It’s okay,” you sighed, still disappointed in yourself.
“I’m proud of you,” he smiled.
Like that one friend who can’t read a room for the life of them, a street salesperson rushed over and began to speak to the pair of you.
Sunghoon squeezed your hand tight and pulled you a little bit behind himself- protecting you and shielding you away from them.
“We’re busy,” Sunghoon brushed them off and continued to walk with you.
But they began to follow, “Just five minutes of your time sir-“
Sunghoon stopped abruptly and looked them in the eyes with a threatening glance, “I’m sorry, did you not hear me?”
“Ah, I understand sir. Have a nice day,” they had suddenly changed their mind.
Sunghoon stepped forward toward them, “Move.”
Finally, the salesperson walked away, leaving you alone. Sunghoon still held your hand securely as you continued your interrupted journey toward the car together.
You looked at him as you walked, “what was that about?”
“What was what about?”
“That just now- what happened to always talking to people gently, Mr. Nice guy?” You mocked him.
“That was an exception. They were annoying, and came way too close to you,” he grunted.
Eventually, you arrived at the car and settled yourselves inside. You were the passenger princess, of course.
You felt Sunghoon’s gaze on you as you put your seatbelt on. Your instincts must have been strong because as soon as you turned your head, your eyes met Sunghoon’s again- staring right at you from the driver's seat with a sly smile.
“What?” You raised an eyebrow.
Sunghoon leaned forward, inching close to your lips, just not far enough forward to touch them with his own yet. Still close, his eyes trailed back up from your mouth to your eyes, “I’m sorry again,” he whispered before finally leaning in all the way and giving you a kiss full of apologies.
It wasn’t really his fault, but you wouldn’t reject a kiss from him, no matter the circumstance. So, you just melted into it.
You could feel his smile widen against your lips as he began to softly chuckle to himself.
You pulled away, “what’s so funny?”
Sunghoon chuckled more, “It's just, I was only gone for like, less than two minutes.”
“So?”
“So… you really missed me then huh,” he smiled mischievously.
You rolled your eyes and softly pushed him away, “You’re so annoying.”
“I guess we need to be glued to each other,” he continued.
“Y’all hear something?” you asked an imaginary audience.
Sunghoon snatched your arm and grabbed your hand, “we have to hold hands forever. Sorry!” He kept teasing.
“Hoon. Just DRIVE.”
Later on, you were all snuggled up in your bed alone with your laptop, watching yet another winter movie in the middle of October. It was one of the best feelings, being all wrapped up in blankets and fresh clean PJ’s. No responsibilities to take care of as of right now.
The door creaked open and Sunghoon slid his head into the room with a grin, “What are you up to?”
You looked at the time on your screen and back up at Sunghoon, “You’re still here? Aren’t you going to be late for that thing you’re supposed to be going to?”
“I decided not to go,” he came into the room fully, hands behind his back.
“Well, why not? Are you feeling sick?”
“No, my love, I would just rather spend time with you more than anyone else tonight. So I cancelled,” he approached the side of the bed.
You noticed his hands hidden away, you could only assume he had something, “what’s that?”
“What’s what?”
You squinted suspiciously, “Hoon.”
“Okay, okay. Give me your hands,” he pulled out a selection of some of your favourite sweet treats from behind him and slid them into your hands.
“When did you get these?”
“When I left you in the line. I refuse to leave you empty-handed.”
You smiled, “I didn’t even notice.”
He gave you a peck on the forehead. Then, he slid into the bed sheets next to you with a huge cheesy smile.
“So what are we watching?”
