*:･ﾟ✧ little moments with omega x ･ﾟ:✧*

JAEHAN

Nighttime walks through the city hand-in-hand; listening to the playlist you made for him whenever he needs a pick-me-up; staying up late to help you review for your midterm tomorrow; writing a song to comfort you when you’re going through a hard time

HWICHAN

Sharing a tangerine and putting the sticker on your nose; greeting your houseplants every time he visits and having a long, one-sided conversation with them about the weather; offering to sing you to sleep over the phone with your favorite ballad but accidentally falling asleep first halfway through; falling in love with your laugh and doing anything to hear it again

SEBIN

Using terrible pickup lines when you’re already dating just to see you blush; hyping you up at karaoke so enthusiastically he’s almost louder than you are; begging you to wear oversized hoodies because your sweater paws are so cute; blowing over-the-top kisses through his computer screen during every video call, annoying anyone in the next room over but refusing to stop because you need to know how full his heart is with you

HANGYEOM

Kissing your nose because you look so cute when you scrunch it up; watching a movie together and stealing a piece of your popcorn when you’re not looking; nighttime calls before bed just to say I love you and sleep well; morning calls when you wake up just to say I love you and did you sleep well?

TAEDONG

Holding hands wherever you go; asking about your favorite dishes so he can learn to cook them for you when you visit; reenacting the cheesiest scenes from the latest romance drama with you; planning the grandest, most extravagant gestures for you but blushing every time you tell him I love you

XEN

Putting your hand in his jacket pocket to keep it warm; asking you to teach him about your hobbies so he can share them with you; falling asleep on the couch together during a thunderstorm; recording a verse of the song he’s writing on your phone so you can listen to his voice and lyrics whenever you’re sad

JEHYUN

Sneaking out of your respective apartments late at night to meet on the rooftop and watch the stars; picking an imaginary eyelash off your cheek as an excuse to lean in closer; enjoying comfortable silence together which neither of you feels the need to break; finding joy in the simplest things because you get to enjoy them together

KEVIN

Falling asleep under the shade of a tree during a picnic; linking pinkies to gently tug you closer; sitting in front of the window with a cup of tea during a rainstorm; sneaking his favorite candy into the cart when you’re out shopping together and smiling innocently when you find it at the checkout counter

JUNGHOON

Making cupcakes together on a rainy day in; dabbing frosting on your nose for the sole purpose of kissing it away; constantly glancing over during a funny movie to see your reactions; taking you on a drive late at night when you’re feeling down and holding your hand the entire trip

HYUK

Getting strange looks from people when an inside joke makes you both burst into laughter in public; fighting to keep his eyes open so he can talk to you more even though he should have been asleep an hour ago; waking up after falling asleep on your shoulder but pretending to still be asleep so he can cuddle you longer; teasing you on the daily but will literally fight anyone if they genuinely upset you

YECHAN

Rooftop confessions overlooking the city; calling you when he’s in a slump because lyrics seem to flow more naturally after spending time with you; trying to stop himself from smiling at his phone in public after you send him a cute selca (and failing); being in the same room together as you each work on your own things, happy to just be around each other  

[cozykpopblurbs]

[8:55pm] “How do I look?” Jaehyun asked, holding out his arms as he stepped into the room. You surveyed his outfit carefully, resting your chin on your hands as you looked him up and down.

“Adorable,” you concluded.

“Thanks,” he smiled, “but I meant, is it convincing? Do I still look like me?”

“You’re not going to fool the kindergarteners, if that’s what you wanted,” you said. “But I don’t think they’ll mind.”

He bit his lip worriedly, looking down at his outfit once more.

“You think so?” he asked. You nodded reassuringly.

“Just watch,” you continued, “at recess they’ll be bragging to all the other classes about how their teacher Mr. Jeong dressed up as Santa.”

[cozykpopblurbs]

[9:23am] “I can do this one,” Shotaro said, politely gesturing for Sungchan to step aside from the register, which he did. As the owner of the bakery, Shotaro would normally fulfill the more complex orders himself, like specially designed custom cakes, or large bulk orders for wedding parties, so Sungchan was surprised when he placed a single boxed cupcake on the counter in front of you.

“We’re having a 1+1 special on these cupcakes today,” Shotaro continued with a smile, “so you can pick another one from this case if you want.”  

“Oh, thanks! I thought this one looked really pretty too,” you said, pointing at a beautifully decorated chocolate cupcake topped with toasted marshmallow fluff. You thought you saw his cheeks rise even higher at the compliment but he said nothing, instead bringing your pick to the counter to ring you up.

“Thank you so much, and please come again!” he said, handing you your boxes. You thanked him once more and left, pushing the door open to a chilly gust of air that already made you miss the warmth of the bakery. As the door closed behind you, you glanced down and noticed a small sticker of a cartoon otter connecting your receipt to the lid of the box.

“I didn’t know we were doing a special today,” Sungchan said, returning to the register as Shotaro carefully reorganized the display case to fill the spaces left by your purchase.

“We’re not,” Shotaro blushed, before returning to the kitchen without another word.

[cozykpopblurbs]

[3:02pm] You moved to press play on the next episode of the show you were watching with Kevin, but hesitated after a thought occurred to you. You glanced out of the window at the gray skies, then at your friend, who was looking at you expectantly.

“What do you think?” you asked. “Is today the day?”

He turned around to look out the window, thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly and turned back to face you.

“Today’s the day.”

He got up and disappeared down the hallway, returning a few moments later with a giant fluffy blanket and a smile across his face.

“It’s finally cold enough to snuggle under our favorite blanket!”

[cozykpopblurbs]

[6:18pm] MJ’s face lights up when he finds you sitting in the library, waving him over to the study table you’d reserved. Before you even have a chance to say hello, however, he pulls out his phone and quickly shows you a picture of the dog he saw on his way across campus.

[cozykpopblurbs]

[9:18am] When San proposed a bet to see who could steal more kisses throughout the day, he didn’t expect you to cut him off with one as soon as he finished his sentence.

[cozykpopblurbs]

[2:42pm] A tense silence filled the air after Haechan’s statement. You kept your composure and scanned the other faces in the room, watching for their reactions. They looked at you with bated breath, increasingly convinced that he had just made a terrible mistake the longer you stayed quiet.

“Don’t say it,” Haechan said nervously, looking at you with imploring eyes.

“If you don’t want me to say it then you shouldn’t have done it,” you replied simply.

“Think of our friendship,” he pleaded. “All the good times we’ve spent together.”

“I’m sorry, Haechan, there’s nothing I can do.”

His eyes locked onto yours, desperately searching for an ounce of comfort, reassurance, something to ease his regret, but it was nowhere to be found. You watched as a mixture of emotions flashed across his face until finally he landed on acceptance. He sighed in despair, then lowered his head into his hands. Chenle smacked his arm.

“Why would you open the chest without checking for traps first?!” he cried.

“A horde of skeletons emerges from the walls and descends upon the party,” you said gleefully. “Roll for initiative.”

[cozykpopblurbs]

[6:21pm] “Hang on, you almost forgot something,” Sunwoo said, stopping you in the doorway just as you were about to head out for dinner together. He took your hand in his, then looked at you with a satisfied nod.

“Okay, now we’re ready.”

[cozykpopblurbs]

"appears like a thief in the night" is sending me LOL but in all seriousness the rocky coffeeshop au has me 🥺🥺😭😭 and it's great to see you pop up on my dash ♡ I hope you've been taking care, staying safe, and keeping yourself hydrated if you can. Sending all the love and appreciation your way 💜

LOL thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! (my AU and my silly tag) 💕

Thank you so much, this is so sweet of you! Hope you’ve been safe and well too and sending all the love right back at you! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

[cozykpopblurbs]

[10:02pm] “See you guys tomorrow,” you said, waving at your coworkers as they left the cafe before returning your focus to the stubborn table stain a customer had left behind earlier.

“The coffee machine’s all done so you don’t have to worry about that.”

You nearly jumped at the sound of Rocky’s voice before you turned toward it, finding him already getting to work wiping down the rest of the tables.

“I thought you went home already,” you said. “Didn’t your shift end half an hour ago?”

“Yeah, but don’t you have an early class tomorrow? We’ll finish quicker if there are two of us cleaning up, and you won’t have to stay so late,” he said nonchalantly. “Did you finish this side already?” he asked, gesturing to a small cluster of tables by the front door.

“Yeah,” you replied, still looking at him as a comforting warmth filled your chest. “Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it,” he waved his hand dismissively. “I’ll start sweeping then,” he said, and as he left to grab the broom from the back you thought that maybe tonight, getting the last shift of the day wasn’t so bad after all.

[cozykpopblurbs]

[1:05pm] You felt a tap on your shoulder and looked up from your book to see Jisung standing by the sofa, motioning for you to follow him quietly. He led you to the doorway of the kitchen where Jaemin was standing at the counter, his back turned toward you as he furiously mixed what looked like an enormous bowl of batter.

“Did you tell him you were craving cookies or something?” Jisung asked quietly, making sure Jaemin couldn’t hear him.

“I just said I finished the batch he gave me last week,” you whispered back. “I didn’t mean for him to make more.”

“You underestimate his desire to keep his friends happy and well-fed,” he replied. You watched as Jaemin carefully measured out a portion of vanilla extract and felt a surge of warmth filling your chest.

“I love him,” you smiled fondly.

“Me too,” Jisung agreed. Jaemin stopped mixing and turned around to find the two of you looking at him in the doorway.

“I love you!” you said louder so he could hear you this time.

He smiled and instinctively made a heart with his arms, accidentally sending a small cloud of flour onto his hair.

“Who said these cookies are for you, though?” Jaemin asked, putting his hands on his hips. You narrowed your eyes and glared at him.

“I’m kidding; it was supposed to be a surprise but they are, and I love you too.”

[cozykpopblurbs]

[1:50pm] Your best friend and dorm mate Mingi is really glad you don’t have class on the day when he usually does his laundry, so he can run into the common room and give you a hug with a warm sweater fresh out of the dryer every time.

Where the Heart Is

[ID: A photograph of a galaxy of stars with “Where the Heart Is” written in the center and “by cozykpopblurbs” in smaller text underneath. End ID.]

synopsis: After the war arrives and forces you to leave the only planet you’ve known for your entire life, seven boys with a spaceship help you realize what it means to be home.

pairing: OT7 Dream x gender-neutral reader (platonic)

genre: hurt but mostly comfort

au(s): found family, sci-fi

word count: 902

warnings: references to trauma, losing one’s home, and fleeing from war, none of which are described in detail

Mark found you alone on the observation deck, a quiet corner of the ship unlike any other. It was calm, unlike the cockpit with its countless levers and flashing lights all demanding your immediate and urgent attention. It was open, unlike the tight sleeping quarters you’d grown used to over the past couple of months, where you could roll over in your sleep and nearly hit one of your companions in the next bunk over. (Donghyuck had bluntly introduced the space as “cramped” when you’d first come onboard, but compared to your previous sleeping arrangements, sharing a room with people you felt safe around - no matter how small the room or how numerous the people - felt cozy more than anything else.)

Most importantly, the deck faced the outside of the ship, with a large, unobstructed window that gave the room its name. It was here where Mark found you, looking out of the window and onto the green planet below. You offered no verbal greeting when he came in but moved over a step so he could enjoy the view as well, a silent gesture of hospitality he’d grown quite fond of. This wasn’t the first time he’d found you here, after all. 

The sounds of the others laughing and chatting in the next room over were muffled, but not entirely unnoticeable. As Mark joined you in gazing at the world beneath the ship, he couldn’t help but marvel at how something that looked so peaceful from the outside could contain such chaos and destruction on the ground. With a pang he realized that you, too, were standing next to him in peaceful silence, carrying a pain within that he was more familiar with than he should have been at his age. Suddenly he was overcome by the urge to do something about it, even if he didn’t know exactly what.

“Hey, I’m-“

“Don’t.” 

He stopped. Your tone was not harsh, but soft, almost gentle. Somehow that only made him sadder, although he couldn’t explain why. 

“You don’t have to be sorry,” you continued, knowing him well enough by now to predict where this conversation was going. “It’s not like you started it.” 

“I know, but…” 

He struggled to find the words to express himself, but they remained elusive. 

“I know,” he said finally. 

You remained in silence for several minutes, neither one of you taking your eyes off of the green marble that seemed at once too close and too far for your own comfort. Too close were the memories of your leaving. Too far was the past you could never return to again. 

“You’ve been away from home for a long time,” Mark said quietly after a few more moments had passed. He raised his eyes to look at you, still staring out of the window with an unreadable expression. You thought about this. 

You knew what he meant. By your count it had been 72 days since you’d left the green planet, and in that sense he was right. It was a long time. But it was also enough time for you to realize that your home had been gone long before you’d even left the atmosphere. By the time Mark had met you, hanging around an abandoned shipyard, hoping to find a pilot who could take you off-world, the home that you knew was already gone.

Beyond the walls of the observation deck, you could hear the other six excitedly telling stories - or perhaps passionately engaging in a game of cards, judging by the yelling. 

Do you know how to play 7 Moons? Jisung had asked you on your first night onboard. You’d shaken your head no. It was one of the few questions you’d gotten on the ship that day that you could answer truthfully. “How are you?” was not one of them. 

It’s okay, Jisung had said. I’ll teach you. 

Mark had fretted. A card game, with everything that’s going on? you’d heard him whispering to Donghyuck. But you were grateful. The game was simple, though not easy, and Jisung was patient. It was good for holding your attention. Taking your mind off things. Later, Chenle told you that Jisung had found the instructions tucked away in a spare drawer on the ship and memorized them the first night after he’d left his planet, too. 

A soft beep from the homeostasis controls brought you back to the observation deck, now beginning to shift into energy conservation mode for the night. By the fuss that was coming from the ship interior it sounded like Jeno had lost the game and earned dish-washing duty for tomorrow. 

Dish-washing privileges, Jaemin had clarified with a grin the first time you’d lost and tied with Renjun for last place. 

You only call it that when you’re not the one washing dishes, Renjun had pointed out in annoyance. 

Can’t we have one game without bickering? Mark had pleaded, rubbing his temples tiredly. You’d smiled, and for the first time in a long time you’d realized you were beginning to feel truly safe in a place other than the planet you used to know. 

You turned to find Mark looking at you, his statement still hanging in the air, unanswered.

You’ve been away from home for a long time.

“I was,” you said finally, just as your friends next door erupted into a burst of cheers. “But I’m not anymore.”
