˚₊‧꒰ა prompt "wearing the others' clothes so that it can at least feel like they're hugging them, even for just a moment".

⋆˙⟡ synopsis when it's cold outside, perhaps you can carry some of his warmth with you?

♬⋆.˚ listen to sentimental heart (she & him).

⋆⭒˚.⋆ reblogs + feedback very much appreciated! ^^

you sigh, looking down at your watch for what feels like the twentieth time tonight. “ah, it’s getting late. i really should get going, or else they’re going to start this meeting without me.”

woonhak groans, spinning around on his desk chair. “why do clubs even have meetings so late at night?”

you shrug, following his movements with a small smile from your place on his floor. “i wish i knew.”

it’s a monday night, and you’re warm and cozy in woonhak’s apartment. his roommates are out studying, and you’d come here from classes yourself at woonhak’s invitation of dinner together.

(leehan had paused next to you on his way out with the rest of them, looking back at woonhak arguing with sungho. “he doesn’t cook for us ever,” he’d told you with a grin.

“maybe because you guys are more picky,” you’d shot back, but you couldn’t deny the flutter in your chest at his words.

“nah,” said taesan, knocking on your forehead with a knowing smile. “this guy? it’s not because of that.”)

you sigh, standing up and brushing off your clothes. “thanks for the food. it was really good.”

“it was just pasta,” woonhak protests, but he grins at you nevertheless.

you grab your sweater and pull it on, glancing outside at the swaying trees across the street under the amber lamplight. “it looks windy out there.”

“does it?” woonhak’s voice carries a note of concern, and you turn back to him with a smile.

“it’ll be okay!” you grab your backpack and head over to the entrance of his apartment. slipping your feet into your shoes, you kneel down to tie the laces. “bye, woonhak.”

“wait!”

you look up at him getting up from his chair, waving a hand at you as he disappears into his bedroom. “wait there!”

you stand in the doorway, confused, shoelaces only half-tied as you stand back up. you hear him rummaging around, the soft thud of the closet door closing, and then he’s back, rushing towards you with a smile on his face and folded fabric in his hands.

“come here,” he says softly, his fingers beckoning you towards him. something in your heart stutters as you oblige, taking off your shoes again to join him in the middle of his living room.

woonhak unfolds his jacket from his arms, stepping into your space to drape it around your shoulders. “you’ll be cold with just what you’re wearing,” he murmurs. he glances up at you, and you can see yourself reflected back in his dark irises.

oh.

heat rising to your cheeks, you can only nod mutely. you grab the sides of the dark brown fabric, feeling its softness between your fingertips. it’s solid, it’s warm. you pull your arms through the sleeves, and all you can think about is how he probably never thinks twice about wearing this jacket on a cold morning.

he’s the one who wears this.

and now it’s you.

as you zip up the jacket, he moves over to his chair, where he’s kept a scarf hanging over the back. he picks it up, shaking it out as he comes back over to you. “this will help you too”, he says, wrapping the knit fabric around your neck.

what makes your heart pound so hard in your ears isn’t the fact that you’re wearing his clothes, not really.

it’s the fact that he’s so gentle.

earlier, with giving you the jacket. and now this. he loops the scarf once, twice around your neck, adjusting it so the hanging ends look even to any onlooker. he pulls the edges up around your ears, his knuckles brushing your cheeks, and you pray to whatever god is looking down on you that he doesn’t notice the heat radiating off your skin.

“all good?” he asks softly, and you nod.

“warm and toasty,” you croak out after a moment, and the smile he gives you is somehow so unlike him, yet perfectly woonhak at the same time: small, yet it puffs up his cheeks and crinkles the edges of his sparkling eyes.

“okay,” he breathes, his hands resting on your arms for just a moment longer before he steps back. “i’ll let you go now.”

i don’t want to leave, you think, but you turn anyway. away from the warmth of woonhak’s apartment, away from the warmth of him.

well. perhaps you’re not quite turning completely away. after all, with woonhak’s jacket and scarf, it kind of feels like his warmth is surrounding you.

like a hug.

he watches as you crouch down, tying the laces of your shoes properly this time, and smiles as you stand back up. “bye, y/n,” he says, giving you a small wave.

“bye, woonhak,” you say, waving back. “thank you for the jacket. and the scarf.”

his smile grows wider. “it’s nothing. stay warm out there, okay?”

“mhm,” you nod, and you know that no matter how strongly the wind blows tonight, you’ll be warm.

kathy hi!! are you tuning it to overdo too? :3 (i saw your reblog HAHAHAHA >:)

hii maya ^^

yes, i am! i finished poj in may and have been waiting for overdo ever since! i'm on the 3rd episode and zhang linghe is still as pretty as ever and he pulls off both unhinged red flag and innocent puppy vibes! also i love it when the female lead is scheming (the plot seems messy but at this point i don't care hehe)

let me know your thoughts if you also started it/when you start it!

[da-man-si]

the drama: the ML has returned from prison. he was there because he killed someone. also, the drama: here is a very good looking guy. so good looking he's actually shining. he's wearing boots and a cape and a whole uniform. he's the ML who's back from prison. remember, he murdered someone. me: what murder

[taestulipss]

for those who are debating between the two taesan options, don't let the additional leehan influence you. instead of having taesan compete with leehan for yn's attention, imagine him competing with yn.

imagine arguing with cocky high achiever taesan. imagine pissing him off when winning an argument. imagine him trying to hide he is worried when the murder mystery investigation will turn too high stakes. imagine all the possibilities of dark academia taesan ✨ (including rich kid school uniform)

THE WAY IS COINCIDENTALLY THE PERFECT RESPONSE TO JUNES ASK WITHOUT U EVEN KNOWING 😭😭😭😭 oh oh oh the banterrrr!!! I love a good banter when both parties are smarty pants hehe....and with the murder stakes! rich kid uniform OMYGOD this is my bread and butter you already know I love a good rich bratty posh-school taesan (coughs in poyp) so this is definitely up my alley. im imagining very murky, stormy campus weather, and taesan with rimless glasses and he wears a fucking tie and blazer no matter what the temperature........their majors hmmmmm I want to make one of them very mathematically inclined....forensics is too on the nose so maybe not. u did say music OH I know! what if a stage play is involved 👀👀👀or an orchestra....👀👀👀

ROSYPOSYYY I’ve been kinda quiet throughout your anniversary game WHICH IS SO FUN AND TRUST I AM INHALING EVERYONES CAMPAIGNS AND SHI ITS SO ENTERTAINING but omg I lowkey had a vague idea for academic rivals!taesan…

BASICALLY idk if you’ve read “the secret history” by donna tartt but it’s one of my favourite books ever and i am SUCH a Classics nerd cause i took it in college and it was my favourite subject (i finished school a month ago and i can’t believe I’m saying I’m an ex-classics student🥲). ANYWAY so I thought it would be so cool if there were those kinda themes in the fic? I wanna keep it vague here so that you can incorporate your own ideas into it but I would love if the dark themes were kind of like classic literature, dark academia, lit fireplace in the common room, library sessions at night kinda vibes (THESE ARENT EXACTLY WHAT I WANNA SEE BTW ITS JUST THE VIBES SO DONT FEEL PRESSURED TO INCLUDE IT!!🫶)

But obviously this is just a thought and totally up to you and if you haven’t read the secret history and don’t even exactly want these kinda vibes for the fic then that’s ABSOLUTE OKAYY or even if you have read something similar and do — but either way it is totally your choice!!

I’m so looking forward to seeing what else comes out of your beautiful brain for this game rosy EE YOURE SO COOL AND AWESOME ILY

P.S. if you haven’t read “the secret history” by donna tartt then this is totally me recommending it to you cause it is so freaking good and heavy on the dark academia vibes and it is also quite morbid which I LUV

HANA DUL SET!!! hehe I'm glad you're enjoying it, I love how everyone's so engaged with it and has popcorn out and everything before the results come out lolllll it's so cute and lovely 🥰

first of all-omg! congrats on graduating, I don't think I said this earlier!!! I actually have started the secret history but never finished it 😅 (but I know the plot somewhat!). The book I have read and enjoyed however was if we were villains which is set in a Shakespeare conservatory and has posh pretentious students and involves a murder plot like in TSH. I loved it so much when I read it! so definitely, if taesan wins, you can expect all those classic dark academia vibes from me!

and YOU are cool and awesome and smart whattttt, a whole classics grad in my inbox, I'm flattered and honoured beyond!!

p.s. kathy @dat-town who requested this made a gorgeous moodboard for this which I forgot to share omg

vote for rivals to lovers taesan to read classic dark academia fic feat classic rosy banter 🔥

[restlessmaknae]

there's something about the sunshine [request event]

I'm currently writing my master's dissertation and will do so for the next 3 months, so I've thought that it's time to open up my imaginary request box for drabbles, so that I can still write in my free time but without the pressure of working on a longer fic. 💞

It will stay open for the rest of the summer (hence the title) or until I have 15 requests (2/15 taken).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

You can send me an ask with a genre and/or setting and/or idea + an idol in mind, but you can add also add a prompt or a song to write the fic based on. Obviously, the more detailed you are, the closer the outcome will be to your expectations.

For prompts, you can choose any, but I've also had a look around, and found some really nice ones, so you can also choose from these growing closer, angsty, soft & vulnerable and forced proximity prompts!

As for songs, I love a lot of artists! Of course, you can choose a song from the idol group as well or any other artist really. I'm up for anything, but if you're stuck on an idea, I really love Conan Gray, Renée Rapp, Ashe, Gretta Ray, The Vamps (Brad's solo songs too), 5SOS (Calum's solo songs too), Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, All Time Low, Kodaline, Damiano David, and you can never go wrong with a One Direction song either. ;)

RULES

The stories will be drabbles only (no smaus, bulleted stories etc.), and probably under 3k

SFW-only

I have the right to reject a story idea if I don't feel comfortable writing about it (some examples include toxic relationships, gangs, sexual assault, rape, pedophilia, student x teacher, minor x adult, domestic abuse, cheating trope etc.)

Only member x reader, no member x member (you can specify if you want a gender-neutral reader insert story, otherwise I write female!reader stories)

I can't guarantee a deadline for any fic, so please bear with me while I work my way through them 🥰

One user can request up to 2 stories

Requests will be closed once September comes around or if I receive 15 requests

I will combine all the requests into a masterlist as soon as they start coming in, so you know that I've received your message

BANDS YOU CAN MAKE REQUESTS FOR:

&TEAM

ALD1

BOYNEXTDOOR

CIX

CRAVITY

ENHYPEN

P1HARMONY
