[flufftober day 8, wc: 674] - pumpkin patch : h. yunjin
YOU’VE NEVER BEEN to a pumpkin patch. and when you told yunjin this, she almost went crazy.
“what do you mean, you’ve never been? it’s like, one of the biggest things of autumn,” she rants, packing her things into a crossbody bag and putting on an oversized flannel. it’s a new garment, one of many bought from the latest shopping spree when she took you to new york for vacation, during which you got to meet her family for the first time as her partner.
you snort, slipping on your own puffer vest. “clearly it’s not one of the biggest things if i or anyone i know hasn’t gone.”
the girl waves you off, but takes your hand and leads you outside to where the manager’s van is. “i’ll show you the joys of autumn with this, trust.”
“i’m looking forward to it, jenjen,” you beam.
immediately upon arrival, the atmosphere invigorates you. the sound of children’s laughter and their new balance sneakers digging into the dirt as they run through the field fill your ears, and the sight of dozens of rows of pumpkins greet you right at the entrance.
it seems like scenery from a coming-of-age movie, or something out of a novel. the new experience feels refreshing—yunjin was right. it may have been a little unfair to say it wasn’t one of the biggest things of autumn, because now it definitely has to be an annual thing for you.
the blonde flashes a crooked grin at you, as if saying ‘see? i told you so.’ and you kind of want to wipe it off of her face. so annoying, but you love her nonetheless.
your hands stay intertwined as yunjin leads you through the rows, eyes in search of a pumpkin to bring back to the dorms. you make a mental note to come back with the rest of your members—it’d be a nice bonding activity, and it’d look nice in le sserafim’s practice room.
the ground is rough, and there’s a pile of dirt kicked up by the free-roaming children which causes you to almost trip, yelping. thankfully, your girlfriend catches you and saves you the embarrassment. her eyebrows furrow in concern. “you okay?”
“yeah,” you breath out, a hand resting on your chest. you smile, “thanks, jen.”
“good,” she helps you get on your feet properly, “let’s look at some pumpkins!”
you look for a decent pumpkin under the precise instructions of yunjin: flat bottoms, bright orange, hollow, no mold, not too heavy, no brown stems. it’s tough for your untrained eyes, some might look perfect but weigh too much, or some fit all of the “perfect pumpkin” criteria and not sound hollow at all when you tap on it.
yunjin kneels down to inspect some pumpkins from up close, picking one up and showing it to you. “you think this one looks good?”
squinting at the pumpkin and checking off some things mentally, you shake your head, “its bottom isn’t flat.”
she smirks. “i could say the same about you.”
“pfft,” you flick her on the forehead, “what’s with you?”
“i’m just being honest!” yunjin puts the unflat-bottom pumpkin down and grabs two other ones. “these, on the other hand, look great.”
orange, flat, and, you give it a knock with your knuckles, hollow. “yeah, they do.”
the two of you pay for the selected pumpkins and make your way back to the van. while you may have originally been uninterested and doubtful of the excursion, you definitely left with the opposite of how you felt.
putting your seatbelt on, you grin at the blonde, giving the pumpkin on your lap a few light pats. “thanks for taking me here, yunjin. sorry i ever doubted you.”
“you should be sorry,” she laughs, throwing her head back against the seat. “but it’s no problem; i’ll never tire of taking you out on dates ‘cause i love you.”
“aw, jen… i love you too. even though you hit on me like we just met.”
“what can i say? it’s my charm.”
a/n : yeah tbh i've never actually been to a pumpkin patch excuse the inaccuracies HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUNJIN i luv the laufey cover :((
drive me crazy!
pham hanni x fem!reader ; angst, fluff
synopsis: hanni can bear physical touch—unless it’s from you and is oblivious to why that is, oblivious to only her.
warnings: sixth!member reader ; cute and FLUFFY YAAYYY!!!! ; my girl... pls why r u stupid my cute little idiot ; a lil angsty ; idk anything else i didn't mention ; oh um... rly jdashfasd iffy on how the pacing is plus the pining and like everything... was supposed to be short and cute but then i made it more LOL ; not proofread (i don't like reading if u couldn't tell)
a/n: short, silly, cute, lovely, adorable (so hanni) anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! to gf!! also now all the members i write for have a sixth!member reader fic LOL
hanni has always been fine with physical touch, she kind of has to be considering she’s friends with danielle and hyein.
she lets them drag her by the arm, cling onto her, and whatever else that they desire because that’s just how they are. hanni is fine with this, she’s fine with anything the members do.
but you? you’re a whole different story and she has no clue why.
the slightest amount of physical contact from you sends her spiralling, she can’t think right the moment your shoulders graze or fingers brush against one another. her palms go sweaty, her breath gets short, and her face warms up; hanni tends to be more distant when it comes to you.
maybe it's the way you do it so effortlessly, plus that little smirk on your face that renders her dumber than she already is. maybe it's because your hands are always so warm that it makes her flinch away, or maybe it's something more. but this could mean nothing, right?
--
exhibit a:
hanni wasn’t always wary of your touch. there was a point in time where she’d give you hugs without thinking, let you lean on her shoulder or lean on yours, even intertwine fingers during livestreams or just spontaneously because why not?
one night, while in spain during your time recording for the new ep, you two had been put into a room together. there had been two beds, but you wanted to hangout near hanni while you doom scrolled and texted your friends. hanni let you linger there, neither of you had made any physical contact during the time until you mindlessly put your leg over hers, linking it.
while you went on your phone hanni would glance at you, she didn’t know why. you caught her in the midst of it, interrupted her while she traced the curve of your lips and she could only blush.
“is there something on my face?”
hanni still stares, not answering for a bit until a few seconds pass.
“no, i just zoned out.”
“okay...?” you ignore it with a chuckle, returning to your phone.
after hours of scrolling, you yawn, your phone falling somewhere on the bed as the hours of recording and singing throughout that day had caught up to you.
you fell asleep first, your breathing soft and steady, while hanni lay beside you, wide awake. she didn’t mind though. you hadn't moved to your bed, and hanni isn't strong enough to carry you (she's smaller and shorter, that's quite given; you tease her endlessly for it). she couldn’t bring herself to wake you up, watching the peaceful way you drifted off. she felt warm next to you, like it was the most natural thing in the world to be here, sharing this moment. eventually, she let her eyes close too, not bothering to move. she liked the closeness.
the two of you fell asleep beside each other on your backs, your hands barely touching and a leg tangled with the other.
when you woke up, the first thing you noticed was how you were wrapped around her. your arm was draped over her waist, your body molded against hers, and for a moment, you were too comfortable to move. it was similar to the feeling of cuddling your pillow at night in the dorms, but instead with hanni. you really liked the feeling of her in your arms, weirdly enough.
hanni was awake now too, but she hadn’t shifted yet. instead, she lay still, her heart beating faster as she became hyperaware of the closeness between you two. she could feel your warmth, every breath, every slight movement, and it made her feel bubbly and panicked.
hanni wasn’t used to feeling this way, like her entire body was on edge, but in the best way possible. being this close to you—it made everything feel different, more intense. physical touch isn't new to her in the slightest, considering all the members are a little touchy (danielle is a whole different story), but she's never felt this way with you or any of the other members. her thoughts were running a mile a minute, and she couldn’t help but steal glances at your face, admiring how soft and peaceful you looked in the morning light. her nerves kicked in when she realized how close your lips were to her shoulder, how intimate this all suddenly felt.
fuck, hanni thought. everything felt so perfect, but this only made her more wary.
and then you stirred, slowly waking up again, your eyes fluttering open. when your gaze landed on her, your lips curved into the softest, sleepiest smile, and it made her heart skip a beat.
“morning han,” you mumble, your voice raspy with sleep as you reach up to gently caress her face. your thumb brushes her cheek, and she can’t help but lean into your touch, her skin tingling from the simple gesture.
hanni can't breathe. her lips part, and then she closes her mouth to tense her jaw.
“you’re so pretty in the morning,” you say, still groggy but sincere. "how are you real?"
hanni’s face flushes immediately, her heart doing flips as she stares at you, wide-eyed. “you can’t just say things like that,” she murmurs, trying to suppress a smile, feeling shy all of a sudden.
you chuckle softly, your hand still resting on her cheek, not wanting to pull away. “why not? it’s true.”
hanni wants to pull away, it's too much. she feels like her heart might just escape from her chest.
the way you look at her, sleepy but affectionate, makes her feel weirdly nervous in the best way. the closeness, the intimacy—it’s overwhelming, but in a way that makes her want to stay right there, wrapped up in you.
but she can't, the pit in her stomach doesn't let her.
she shifts away, turning and groaning playfully as she stretches. she checks her phone, the time saving her from this situation.
"shit, we should be getting up soon."
you frown, hand resting on hanni's waist still until she sits up and rubs her eyes. "do we have to?" you ask, wanting to stay in bed a little longer with her in your arms. something about being so close to her and her specifically makes you really content.
"we have to get to the location, eat, get ready, recording—you know, all that."
you pout, rolling away from her and finding a pillow to replace her warmth.
"five more minutes?"
"fine..." hanni huffs, looking at you fondly. she can't tell if she's fond of the weird rush you give her either.

hanni is in the middle of vlogging, setting up her phone on the counter as she stirs something on the stove. her voice is light, a little bubbly, as she explains what she’s making for dinner, though she’s focused on keeping everything smooth for the video.
the phone drops and she groans, biting her lip subtly as she sets it back up, returning to her little commentary.
“so, i’m just letting this simmer for a bit,” she says, leaning closer to the pot, “and then i’ll—”
before she can finish, you come up behind her, wrapping your arms around her waist. she gasps, then freezes for a second, her whole body stiffening as your head gently rests on her shoulder. she can feel your warmth instantly, she can smell your signature sweet perfume, and the sudden contact makes her heart jump into her throat.
your arms pull her close, and her cheeks heat up as if the stove’s flames were warming her directly. she knows she’s still on camera, but for a moment, she can barely remember what she was even talking about.
“hey,” you mumble softly, voice low and a bit tired, but sweet. “what are you making?”
hanni’s grip on the spoon tightens, and she laughs awkwardly, trying to play it cool. “uh, j-just… dinner,” she manages, her voice a little higher than usual. her brief stutter earns a punch to herself (mentally of course) and she cringes internally. her brain is short-circuiting from the feel of you pressed against her back, your head so close to hers. she swears her face is probably bright red by now. there is no way this is getting cut out, especially not with the popularity you two have as a duo.
you lift your head from her shoulder, standing beside her but still lingering close, your arm brushing against hers. hanni tries her best to focus on the camera, forcing herself to talk about the food again, but it’s so difficult with you right there, looking effortlessly adorable after coming back from your shoot. you’re in casual clothes, but there’s something about the way you look—tired but still glowing—that makes her even more flustered.
“you look cute,” she hears you say softly, just loud enough for her to hear but not for the camera, and it completely throws her off. you look her dead in the eye, your gaze dropping to her lips and then back up as you smile. she almost drops the spoon, quickly looking at the camera and then back at the food, trying to regain her composure. her mind is a mess. how is she supposed to vlog when you’re like this?
“uh—thank you,” hanni stammers, her cheeks fully tinted pink now. she tries to laugh it off, stirring the pot with more focus than necessary, but the tension in her shoulders gives her away.
you chuckle softly, leaning a little closer to check what she’s making. “need help?”
hanni shakes her head quickly, eyes wide as she glances at you, then back at the camera. “n-no! i’m good, totally fine,” she insists, though her flustered state says otherwise.
“okay,” you hum, stepping back but still watching her with a teasing grin. "but if you need me to cut anymore veggies or meat i can! just ring me up! bunnies, did you know that i'm actually a wonnnnnnderful cook? i used to cook a lot with my parents-"
hanni lets you ramble, she loves hearing you ramble. she can't help but smile everytime you do, your voice is like music to her ears, it’s a symphony.
when you're finished with your ramble, you bring the attention back to hanni. "now back to our show!"
hanni lets out a quiet breath of relief, trying her best to wrap up the vlog—or at least this segment. “so, yeah! um, this just needs a few more minutes, and then dinner will be ready.” her voice wavers slightly, but she manages to end the video, turning off the camera with shaky hands.
as soon as the camera’s off, she turns to you, her face still red, and you can’t help but laugh softly at how flustered she is.
“you’re impossible,” she mutters, playfully swatting at you, but there’s a shy smile tugging at her lips.
“what?” you ask, oblivious to everything going on.
"i--" hanni pauses, shaking her head before flicking you in the forehead. "go change, dinner will be ready by then."
…
@/dailyyn on twitter:
“hanni and y/n crumbs! look how good y/n looks after the shoot… imagine being her gf and she greets you like this… id kill to be hanni”
the clip shows you surprising hanni, making her blush with your subtle antics and sharing the cute moment on camera. fans go a little insane partially because of your look, and also the chemistry between the two of you.
↪️@/tokkijeans: is it just me or are they really close? like.. suspiciously close
↪️@/ynslover: replying to @/tokkijeansi wouldn’t be surprised if they. were dating… i’ve never seen hanni so shy
↪️@/hanynenjoyer: this video is so cute! they’re my everything…

the studio was lively, filled with activity as the photobook shoot progressed. bright lights flashed intermittently, casting soft shadows over the set as you and hanni stood close, posing for the camera.
you two were in arguably casual clothing, but obviously topped off with some extra details because it was for a photoshoot. you couldn't stop staring at hanni, stealing glances whenever you could. she looked gorgeous, that wasn't debatable. her hair was styled in a way that made it a little wavy and a small clip pinned the hair that would frame her face back.
in return, hanni was doing her absolute best to keep her cool. the light makeup made your features stand out subtly, especially your lips (which hanni couldn't stop stealing a peek at), making you look stunning. you'd probably go trending on twitter later, hanni knows you like to upload selcas after things like this, and each one never fails to gain lots of attention.
(not just from the fans, but from your fellow member too.)
the photographers suggested subtle intimacy—small, delicate touches, heads leaning together, eyes locking in moments that felt almost too real. they had convinced you two it would fit the concept: domestic, casual, and comfortable. for you, it was easy to comply, maybe even natural, to slip into those roles. especially when it was hanni by your side.
your hand brushed against hers as you adjusted your stance, smiling to yourself when you caught her glancing at you. hanni was trying to keep her cool, you could tell—but why? her usual ease seemed strained, her body a little tense despite the casual poses. but you? you were just happy to be this close to her, to feel her warmth as you both leaned into the moment.
the photographer directed a few more shots, asking you to sit beside hanni and lean your head against her shoulder. you did so with ease, resting your cheek carefully on her shoulder. you could feel her freeze slightly under your touch, her body rigid against yours. you bring your hand over and place it over hers, rubbing your fingers gently against her skin to coax her back into relaxation—miraculously, it works.
you didn’t think too much the whole thing; after all, these shoots always required some closeness. but with hanni, it was different. your heart felt lighter being near her, warmer in a way that you didn’t feel with anyone else. you smiled softly as you shifted into the next pose, letting her lean against you this time, her back pressing against your shoulders.
she smelled sweet, like the faintest hint of citrus, and you found yourself wanting to linger there a little longer.
"you smell good." you mumble softly as the photographer readjusts his settings. "like really good."
hanni doesnt answer, she opts for pinching you playfully instead, earning a chuckle.
"what? you look really good too."
"shut up." hanni says, mostly for the sake of her sanity. "you're so... ugh."
the moment ended when the photographer had caught both of your attention again. you two stop bickering (if you could even call it that) and focus once more.
the camera flashes one final time, and the photographer calls it a wrap. as the crew began to clear the set, hanni quickly stepped away, her cool facade returning as she busied herself with adjusting her outfit, avoiding your gaze. your heart sank a little at her sudden distance.
you stood there for a second, watching her, a growing pit of uncertainty forming in your stomach. it wasn’t the first time this had happened. hanni had a way of pulling back whenever you got too close, a way of putting space between you that made you second-guess everything. you were touchy with everyone—that was just who you were—but with hanni, it was different. she made you happier, made your heart feel full in a way that was hard to describe. she was so adorable, so easy to be around, and sometimes you couldn’t help but think of being close to her all the time.
but now, watching her act distant again, you couldn’t help but feel a bit upset. was it something you did? were you pushing too far? but she's completely fine with dani dragging her around, haerin randomly leaning against her, and even she initiates the phsyical contact with minji. not to mention hyein, who's always clinging onto everyone — but that's hyein, she's like a younger sister to you all.
your thoughts spiraled as you bit your lip, trying to shake off the gnawing feeling.
hanni finally glanced your way, catching your gaze for a split second before quickly looking away, her face unreadable. you frowned, taking a step toward her. “hanni… are we good?” you asked, trying to keep your voice light, though the hint of worry bled through.
she hesitated, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. “yeah, of course. why wouldn’t we be?”
“i don’t know. it just—” you paused, struggling to find the right words. “sometimes, it feels like you’re… distant. like you’re pulling away. was the shoot too much? was i too much?"
hanni blinked, her expression softening just slightly, but she still didn’t meet your eyes. “no, no— and i’m not pulling away,” she said quietly, but the uncertainty in her voice didn’t do much to reassure you.
you narrow your eyes at her, trying to believe her. you sigh, running a hand through your hair. “okay. if you say so.”
the air between you felt thick, tense, and it was hard to shake the disappointment that clung to you as you watched her pack up her things. you wanted to be close to her, wanted to feel that warmth again, but right now, it felt like she was slipping through your fingers.
this left you spiraling even more, trying to figure out what went wrong. hanni walks over to watch the others, letting danielle cling onto her and not visibly getting nervous or anything like that. was it you? it had to be.

soobin was like the big brother you never had, and you were forever grateful for that accidental meeting while you were a trainee and he was a rookie—when he’d spilled his coffee all over you. it had been embarrassing then, but now? it was the reason you had biweekly catch-up sessions—usually over facetime, since no one in the industry liked to see a girl group member breathing the same air as a boy group member.
but today was different. today, the two of you were in one of the company lounge areas, sharing snacks from the convenience store and sipping on the flavored milk soobin had brought. he watched you quietly, eyes filled with concern as you sank into your chair, picking at your fruit gummies without much enthusiasm.
“have things been rough? are they pushing you too hard?” he asked, his voice soft.
you shook your head, your lips pressing into a thin line. “i think my coworker hates me.”
“as in… a member?”
“yeah.” you sighed, popping an orange gummy into your mouth and chewing it slowly.
“may i pry?” soobin asks, stealing a gummy from your pack.
you nodded. “yeah, go ahead.”
“who is it?” he questions, chewing his stolen gummy.
“hanni.”
soobin froze mid-chew, his brows furrowing. “wait, hanni? but— the internet’s always talking about you two. i mean, i know you can’t trust everything online, but i’ve seen it too. you guys seem close.”
“yeah, well, i think she hates it. all the physical stuff, everything i do…” you trailed off, sinking deeper into your seat. “am i terrible?”
the hood of your sweatshirt slipped over your head as you slouched, messing up your hair. soobin couldn’t help but giggle at the sight, tilting his head as he looked at you. “you’re not terrible, y/n,” he assured you, his voice steady. “maybe she’s just—”
“i think i’m in love with her.” you blurted out, groaning as you covered your face with your hands. “i’m in love with her, i think. no, fuck that, i know.”
soobin stared at you, wide-eyed. “you what?”
“i’m in love with her,” you mumbled again, sinking even lower into your seat, hands covering your face. “god, i realized it last night while i was sulking in bed at midnight. and now, everything makes sense. i want to be close to her all the time because i want something more. and i feel like a creep because—am i weird? am i… am i a predator for being so touchy with her? what if she hates me for it?”
he watched as your expression shifted from miserable to horrified, your body practically sliding off the chair now. his deep voice cut through your spiral, calm and steady as ever. “you’re not a predator. trust me. the fact that you’re aware of how your actions might affect her shows that. you’re self-aware, and you care enough to try and make things better.”
“but… this could ruin everything.” your voice was small, defeated.
“it won’t,” soobin says firmly. “i know you.”
“do you know her?”
he shrugged, smiling softly. “i don’t need to know hanni as well as i know you. you always get things done, y/n. you always work it out. remember when we had those dating rumors? you handled that pretty well.”
you groaned at the memory, but it did lift your spirits just a bit. the whole two-week ‘scandal’ had been absurd. someone had noticed that you and soobin both had the same roblox sticker on your phone cases in your selcas, posted just two days apart. it blew up online, spiraling into dating rumors that, frankly, neither of you could believe.
the whole thing was based on a sticker. a roblox sticker. beomgyu had given soobin the sticker, and soobin, thinking it was dumb and funny, gave you one too. somehow, the internet made it a conspiracy.
you had to lie, saying you barely knew soobin, and that you found the sticker on the floor of the hybe building, thinking it was funny. it was the only way to get the fans to calm down. soobin had to pretend he barely knew you as well, but the two of you had giggled over facetime because of it—which was great for your mental state while you noticed the forced hate towards you.
“ugh, that was so weird,” you mutter. “if only they knew we’re—”
“completely off the radar,” soobin finished for you, chuckling. “like some future lavender marriage if the media doesn’t get off our asses.”
you snorted at that, “gross,” but your smile quickly faded as the weight of your current situation settled in again.
he shrugged, his smile gentle. “i don’t need to know hanni as well as i know you to be sure of this. you’re the kind of person who works through things. you always have, and you always will. you’ve told me how close you two were during your trainee days—there’s no way she’d want to throw that all away. besides, isn’t it better to have her in your life, even if you’re in love with her, than to lose her altogether?”
for someone so stupid, he’s equally as wise.
you bite your lip, a sense of helplessness settling in your chest. “i don’t know,” you say, voice soft. “sometimes, i just want to pull away, distance myself so i don’t screw it all up, but… but then i’m around her, and she’s just so... so hanni. she’s adorable and funny and makes me feel so warm inside. and then i'm close to her, and it’s like this weird feeling that makes me want more, but… i don’t want to scare her off. i don’t want her to think i’m weird.”
you could feel tears of frustration prickling at the corners of your eyes, your hands trembling as you spoke. admitting your feelings out loud made them feel so much more real, and that terrified you.
soobin leaned over, placing a hand on your shoulder, his deep voice a steadying force amidst the chaos of your thoughts.
“you’re not weird,” he repeated gently. “you just care. and that’s a good thing. but you need to trust yourself, y/n. you’re good at this—at reading people, at figuring things out. if hanni ever felt concerningly uncomfortable, you’d notice. just... be careful. take your time. you’ll figure it out. i know you will.”
you stared down at your hands, twisting the edge of your hoodie in your fingers. the weight of your confession hung heavily between you and soobin, but there was also a strange sense of relief in having said it out loud—like you had finally let go of something you’d been holding onto for far too long.
“yeah,” you said softly, nodding. “i guess so.”
—
two days after spilling your alleged unrequited love to your wonderful, amazing, stupid, and very gay bestfriend you had gotten dating rumors with—you're sent to a prada show.
being one of the faces for the brand meant being sent to fashion weeks, shows, and various other schedules that had you showing off the designer brand. and each time this happened, you went viral, because prada never fails to impress, especially when it's you.
you’re set for a photoshoot, this time for the cover of vogue. the weight of it feels significant, but not overwhelming. you’re wearing a prada crop top that shows off your toned abdomen, the result of months of dedication and hard work. the black blazer and slacks, perfectly tailored, give you an oversized yet effortlessly chic look, striking that balance between casual and captivating. everything fits like a glove, intentional but laid-back.
you admire yourself in the mirror, your eyes tracing the sharp angles of your makeup. the subtle eyeshadow that makes a statement, the clean lines, the way it accentuates your features—you can’t help but praise the makeup artist, murmuring compliments as you run a hand through your messy, artfully tousled hair. it’s wild but controlled, you snap a picture quickly for your fans.
when it’s time, you step onto the set, the bold red backdrop making you stand out even more. the lights hit just right, casting shadows that emphasize your figure, and for a moment, as you strike the first pose, you think to yourself: wow, this is for the girls.
after shooting is done, you monitor your pictures and are caught off guard from how great they look. you weren't that confident about oyu rvisuals back then, singing and dancing you could od well, but visuals got to your head. you've learned to love yourself more the more your members and the internet praised you, but mostly because hanni used to compliment you a lot even with your bare face, you wish she still did it.
"woah," you say, snapping pictures of the monitoring screen to post to bubble later.
...
hanni is sitting at the dinner table, a snack in hand as she absentmindedly scrolls through her phone. the dorm is quiet, most of the members tucked away in their rooms, and hyein isn’t around tonight since she's with her family. it’s been a long day, but she finds some comfort in texting her sister, filling the silence with their usual banter. she's distracted enough that she almost doesn’t notice the notification from the official newjeans account.
her thumb hesitates before clicking on it, already assuming it’s something from your vogue shoot. everyone knew you were out for the day, busy with your big shoot, so it seemed natural. but what she didn’t expect was how stunning you’d look.
the first picture stops her cold. you’re lounging on some plush couch, leaning back with that casual confidence she’s only ever seen in person—half smirk, half knowing gaze. hanni’s heart stumbles in her chest. you look beyond good. you’re breathtaking. the makeup, perfectly done but not too much, the messy hair that somehow looks effortlessly styled—it’s too much. she gulps without even realizing, eyes locked on the screen as she stares for longer than she cares to admit.
thirty seconds go by, maybe more, before she hesitantly swipes to the next slide. each new picture draws her in further, and it’s not getting any easier to look away. you’re a vision in every shot, and her chest tightens with each one. she knows she’s been trying to distance herself, trying to get her feelings under control, but how is she supposed to do that when just seeing you on her screen makes her lose her cool like this?
“you’ve been staring at that for a while, haven’t you?” danielle’s voice cuts through her thoughts, light and teasing. hanni jumps in her seat, turning to see danielle settling in next to her. she leans over, her eyes landing on the picture of you still displayed on hanni’s phone. “she looks pretty.” danielle adds.
“um, yeah,” hanni mutters, hurriedly swiping out of instagram, but the heat in her cheeks is unmistakable. she sets her phone down as if that’ll somehow help her case.
danielle smirks, raising an eyebrow as she gives her a sidelong glance. “you seemed to like that post, huh?”
“i was just… zoning out,” hanni tries, but the uncertainty in her voice betrays her. it sounds unconvincing even to her own ears.
“seemed like more than that to me.” danielle’s voice is light, playful, but there’s a glint in her eye that says she knows exactly what’s going on.
hanni lets out a forced laugh, trying to brush it off. “what are you even saying?”
“i’m saying,” danielle starts, leaning in just a bit closer, “that it’s quite odd of you to stare so hard at her. not just at her on the cover of vogue, but in general.”
hanni swallows hard, trying to play it cool, but the flutter in her chest tells her otherwise. danielle’s right, and the worst part is, she can’t even deny it.
danielle’s eyes linger on hanni, clearly not buying her act. hanni feels the pressure building, but she stays silent, forcing a simple shrug as if nothing’s wrong. she knows danielle is waiting for her to crack, but she’s not ready to let everything spill. not yet.
"so…" danielle starts, her voice teasing but gentle, “you’re really gonna act like that wasn’t you staring at y/n’s photos for, what, five minutes?”
hanni scoffs, though it sounds forced. “it wasn’t five minutes, and i wasn’t staring like that.”
danielle crosses her arms, eyes narrowing in playful suspicion. “right. sure you weren’t. you only jumped like i caught you doing something illegal.”
“i was just… scrolling,” hanni mutters, turning her attention back to her phone, trying to seem unbothered. she swipes through random apps, but danielle’s quiet presence next to her makes it impossible to focus on anything else.
“scrolling, huh? that’s what you’re going with?”
“yep.”
“uh-huh. so if i ask again why you were so focused on y/n, you’re gonna say… what?”
hanni huffs, leaning back in her chair. “danielle, it’s not a big deal. i just zoned out, okay? she’s my friend. we work together. seeing her on my feed isn’t weird.” her tone is defensive, too defensive for her liking.
danielle raises her eyebrow, unrelenting. “zoning out on the same picture for thirty seconds? then the next one? and the one after that? you sure it’s nothing?”
hanni’s lips press into a thin line, irritation bubbling up, though it’s more with herself than with danielle. why is this so hard? why can’t she just brush it off? but danielle is looking at her with that piercing, curious gaze, and hanni knows she’s not letting it go. plus, it's danielle.
“you’re imagining things,” hanni tries, though her voice wavers.
“am i?” danielle leans forward slightly, her tone is soft but persistent. “because i know what i saw. and this isn’t the first time you’ve been weird about y/n.”
hanni blinks, her guard starting to slip. “what do you mean ‘weird’?”
“you’ve been acting strange around her for a while now,” danielle points out. “you avoid her, then get all flustered when she’s near. and now you’re sitting here, staring at her photos like you’re in a trance. come on, hanni. something’s up.”
hanni clenches her jaw, trying to hold onto the last bits of defense she has. “it’s… it’s not like that. she’s just—”
“just what?” danielle cuts in, her voice more patient than accusing. “you can tell me. whatever it is, i’m not judging.”
hanni sighs, her resolve beginning to crumble under danielle’s persistent questions. she opens her mouth, but no words come out, her mind racing to come up with some kind of excuse, something that’ll make danielle drop it. but there’s nothing, and hanni knows it.
danielle’s watching her closely now, not pushing too hard but clearly waiting for hanni to finally let it out. “hanni, it’s okay. i’m not gonna force you to talk if you don’t want to. but i’m just saying, i’m here if you need to get something off your chest.”
hanni bites her lip, her heart pounding in her chest. she can feel the words bubbling up, the truth she’s been trying so hard to suppress. but how can she admit it? how can she explain that being near you makes her feel like her heart is about to burst, that every touch and smile from you sends her into a spiral? she's beyond fucked.
“danielle, it’s not… it’s not what you think,” hanni starts, but even she knows how weak it sounds. she shifts uncomfortably in her seat, her eyes darting away from danielle’s.
danielle lets out a soft sigh, her tone turning gentle. “hanni, it’s okay to feel something for her. you don’t have to keep it all inside.”
“i don’t—” hanni stops herself, the words catching in her throat. “it’s not… ugh, i don’t even know how to explain it.”
danielle stays quiet, waiting for her to continue.
hanni rubs her face, feeling the heat rise in her cheeks. “i don’t… i don’t know what to do. she’s just—she’s everywhere, danielle. i can’t even breathe when she’s around. she’s always so close, always so touchy, and it’s driving me insane. i can’t handle it.”
danielle’s expression softens further, nodding slowly as if to encourage her to keep going.
“and it’s not like i don’t like her or anything,” hanni continues, her voice wavering. “that’s the problem. i like her too much. and i don’t know how to deal with it, so i’ve been pushing her away. and now she probably thinks i’m a complete jerk, but… i don’t know what else to do.”
danielle raises her eyebrows. “you’ve been pushing her away because you like her?”
hanni groans, slumping down in her seat. “yeah. because every time she's close to me i feel like i’m gonna explode. she’s so—ugh. she makes me feel things, and i hate it. i don’t know how to be around her without freaking out.”
“so you’re in love with her,” danielle says simply, no judgment in her tone.
hanni freezes, her heart skipping a beat at the words. in love. she opens her mouth to protest, but the truth is already sitting heavy in her chest. she exhales shakily, realizing there’s no point in denying it anymore.
“yeah,” hanni mutters, almost too quietly for danielle to hear. “i think i am.”
danielle leans back, a soft smile tugging at her lips. “well, that’s a start. at least now you’ve admitted it.”
hanni buries her face in her hands again, feeling the weight of the confession settle over her. “what am i supposed to do? i’ve been acting so weird around her, and she probably thinks i hate her now.”
danielle shakes her head. “hanni, i don’t think y/n could ever think that. if anything, she’s probably wondering why you’re avoiding her. you should talk to her.”
hanni groans again. “but what if she doesn’t feel the same way? what if i ruin everything?”
“you won’t,” danielle says confidently. “you’re both close. i don’t think y/n would throw away your friendship over this. but you’ll never know how she feels if you don’t talk to her.”
hanni knows danielle is right, but the thought of confronting her feelings—and you—feels terrifying.
"and if it makes you feel better..." danielle continues, "i don't think the chances of her not returning the feelings are high. she cares for you a lot and she's not nearly as touchy or close with any of us—just you han."
"oh."
hanni bites her lip, fighting every worry in her head. as she does so, the root of her crisis returns home.
both her and danielle look up to see you sighing as you close the door, waving at them tiredly as you walk towards where your room is. danielle tilts her head, looking at you closely: your shoulders are sinking a bit, your hair is messier than before, and you look exhausted.
"how was everything?" danielle asks you, ignoring hanni beside her who's trying to recover from her feelings taking over. "your makeup is still intact."
"i fear." you say tiredly, rubbing your eyes. "it was cool, but they made me do a lot of promo and interviews. it's over now at least."
you glance at hanni, who's failing to meet your gaze.
"well," you start, "i'm going to go wash up and pass out. night guys."
"night!" danielle beams, smiling.
you look at hanni, waiting for a response. she finally looks you in the eye, then seemingly scans your face and hesitating before she also says, "night y/n, rest up okay?"
"yeah, of course han." you smile softly, waving to them once more before disappearing into the hallway.
danielle looks at hanni immediately after you're out of their sight, and speaks as soon as she hears the door close.
hanni just groans, hiding her face in her hands as she mumbles, "she looks too good i can't possibly--"
"don't be like that." danielle scolds, "it'll be fine."
hanni can barely look at you these days, the fact that she has to face you while knowing everything she feels is real and inescapable—hanni might be on her deathbed soon.
—
the room is warm, sunlight streaming through the thin curtains and casting a soft glow over the space. your blanket is tangled around you, your loose pajamas wrinkled as you lay sprawled across your bed. hanni stands quietly in the doorway, staring at your still form with a soft sigh. she knows she should wake you up; you've overslept, and the rest of the members have already started their day. but as she stands there, watching the rise and fall of your chest, something holds her back.
your hair’s a mess, sticking up in all directions, and you’re wearing that loose t-shirt she gave you months ago. it’s oversized, slipping off your shoulder, and the sight of you like this—so comfortable, so unguarded—makes her heart skip a beat. there’s something about how peaceful you look that makes hanni want to crawl into bed with you, to be close, but she knows she shouldn’t.
she swallows, shaking off the thought, reminding herself why she’s here. she’s supposed to wake you up, not… whatever it is her mind keeps drifting to. taking a deep breath, she walks closer and kneels by the edge of your bed.
"y/n," she whispers, poking your cheek gently. "you’re gonna be late if you don’t get up."
you don’t move, still lost in whatever dream you’re having and turning away. hanni shifts awkwardly, not sure what to do. she leans down and lightly pokes your cheek again. "come on, y/n, wake up."
nothing.
with a tiny huff, she pokes you again, this time a bit harder. "seriously, you can’t just sleep all day. you’re going to be late!" she whisper-yells.
you still don’t stir, and hanni finds herself smiling despite her frustration. you look so... soft like this. relaxed. carefree. she’s really tempted to lay down beside you now, more than before. she wants to pull the blanket over herself and close her eyes, pretending for just a moment that things are the way they used to be—before all this weirdness between you two. she could pretend there’s nothing on the schedule, she quite literally has free will, she could do it and nothing would stop her.
but she can’t. she knows she can’t.
instead, she pokes your cheek one more time. "y/n," she whispers, leaning closer. "please get up."
without warning, you move, but instead of waking up, you grab hanni’s wrist and pull her closer, dragging her halfway onto your bed. she yelps, startled, but you don’t seem to notice. you just snuggle into her, wrapping your arm around her waist as if she’s your pillow, your face pressed against her stomach.
hanni freezes, her heart pounding in her chest. you’re still half-asleep, clearly not realizing what you’re doing, but that doesn’t stop the warmth from rushing to her cheeks. she feels like she’s on fire, caught between wanting to escape and wanting to stay right where she is. your warmth, your scent, the way your body feels against hers—it’s overwhelming.
"hanni?" you mumble groggily, eyes still closed. "what are you… doing?"
"uh," hanni stammers, trying to keep her voice steady. "you need to get up. you’re gonna be late."
but you don’t move, just hum in response, your hand moves to loosely hold hers. hanni swallows hard, her whole body tense as she tries to ignore the warmth of your skin, the soft feel of your fingers intertwined with hers.
this is too much.
"hanni?" you mumble again, voice thick with sleep, your hand instinctively pulling her a little closer. "just five more minutes."
hanni can barely breathe, her mind scrambling for some kind of excuse to get out of this without completely losing it. she manages to slip out of your hold, her heart pounding as she sits on the edge of your bed, trying to compose herself. "you need to get up now, y/n," she says, a little firmer this time.
you finally stir, blinking up at her with bleary eyes, confused by the sight of hanni sitting at the edge of your bed. "hanni? what are you… what are you doing here?"
she shifts awkwardly, trying to keep her tone casual. "you were sleeping in, and i came to wake you up. the others are already in the dining room."
you sit up slowly, rubbing your eyes as you look at her. something feels off between you two, a tension that wasn’t there before, something bigger than before. you can feel it too, even in your groggy state. the silence hangs heavy in the air, the unspoken distance between you making everything feel… strange.
"hey," you mumble, running a hand through your messy hair, "we, uh… haven’t really talked much lately, have we?"
hanni glances down at her hands, fidgeting with her fingers. "yeah," she mutters, her voice soft. "i guess we’ve both been kind of... distant."
you nod, still trying to shake off the sleep. "i don’t know why it’s been like that," you say, your voice quiet. "feels like something changed, and i don’t really get it. i’ve been wanting to talk to you, to be honest.”
hanni’s heart tightens at your words. she knows why she’s been distant—because you make her nervous, because she’s terrified of her feelings, because she doesn’t know how to act around you anymore. but she can’t say all that. not now. not like this.
"i’m sorry," hanni finally says, her voice barely above a whisper. "i didn’t mean to pull away. i just… i didn’t know how to handle things."
you look at her, a faint frown creasing your forehead. "handle what?"
hanni shrugs, avoiding your gaze. "just… everything. i guess i got overwhelmed, and instead of talking to you about it, i kind of shut you out. i didn’t mean to."
you’re quiet for a moment, processing her words. it doesn’t really make sense, but it’s something. "i thought you were mad at me," you admit softly. "i didn’t know what i did wrong."
hanni’s heart aches at that. "you didn’t do anything wrong," she says quickly, shaking her head. "it’s not you, y/n. it’s me. i’m sorry for making you feel that way."
the two of you sit in silence for a while, the tension slowly easing as you both realize how much you’ve missed each other. there’s still so much left unsaid, so many things neither of you are ready to admit yet, but this… this is a start.
"i missed you," you finally say, your voice quiet but sincere.
hanni looks up, her heart swelling at your words. "i missed you too."
the weight of the past few weeks lingers in the air, but for the first time in a while, it feels like things might be okay again. even if neither of you is ready to fully address the feelings you’re both clearly harboring, at least you’re talking. at least you’re trying.
and for now, that’s enough.
—
hanni and danielle sit side by side on the couch in the waiting room, both scrolling through their phones. it’s a quiet break, the kind they savor between the chaotic schedules, but their attention keeps drifting to where you’re seated, getting your makeup done. you’re chatting softly on the phone, smiling as you talk to your parents, completely at ease in the chair.
hanni, however, can’t seem to focus on anything else. her eyes flicker over to you every few seconds, as if drawn by some invisible force. she watches how you laugh quietly, the way the stylist’s brush glides over your face, how you seem so naturally pretty even in this hectic setting. her mind is still spinning from your recent talk, even though it was brief. it lingers with all the things unsaid, all the questions still hanging in the air.
next to her, danielle finally breaks the silence.
"so," she starts, her voice casual but curious, "did you and y/n talk?"
hanni’s fingers freeze mid-scroll, and she glances at danielle, unsure of how to answer. after a moment, she sighs. "yeah, we talked… sort of."
danielle raises an eyebrow. "sort of?"
hanni shifts in her seat, picking at the edge of her sleeve. "we addressed the distance. like, we apologized for being weird with each other, but… i don’t really know where to go from there. it’s like, we acknowledged it, but it didn’t fix everything. i still feel…" she trails off, struggling to find the right words. "i don’t know. confused, maybe?"
danielle watches her closely, nodding slowly in understanding. "well, that’s a start, right? at least you talked about it."
"yeah," hanni mutters, but there’s a tinge of uncertainty in her voice. she glances back at you, still on the phone, still pulling her attention without even trying. "but it doesn’t really feel settled, you know? like, we just put a band-aid over it."
danielle sighs softly, leaning back against the couch. "stuff like that is complicated," she says, almost as if she’s speaking from experience. then, after a moment of silence, she turns to hanni with a teasing smile. "by the way, you’ve been staring at y/n this entire time. i can’t believe she doesn’t know that you… you know,"
hanni’s face flushes, and she quickly looks away, crossing her arms defensively. "i was not."
danielle laughs, clearly not buying it. "uh-huh, sure. i’ve been watching you. every time she moves, your eyes follow. it’s like you’re in a drama, and she’s the lead you can’t get over."
"i’m just… i’m just making sure she’s okay," hanni tries to defend herself, though the heat rising in her cheeks betrays her. "she’s on the phone with her parents. what if something’s wrong?"
"oh, please," danielle says, her smirk growing. "you’re just using that as an excuse to admire her. you’ve been acting like this for weeks, hanni. just admit it. remember her prada post?"
hanni opens her mouth to argue, but the words die in her throat. she knows danielle’s right, and that makes it worse. instead of responding, she just sinks further into the couch, burying her face in her hands.
danielle pats her on the back with a chuckle. "don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me. for now."
hanni groans, peeking through her fingers at you again. you’re still deep in conversation, oblivious to the way she’s been spiraling.
"you’ve got it bad," danielle teases softly, her tone more understanding now. "but it’s okay. maybe just… give it time. you two are good together, even if you don’t know where to go from here yet."
hanni nods, grateful for danielle’s support, but her eyes drift back to you. she can’t help it—there’s something about you that keeps pulling her in, no matter how hard she tries to resist.
—
it’s late, and the dorm is quiet. hanni sits on her bed, phone in hand, staring at the screen. she’s been thinking about you all week (she’s always thinking about you), the tension that had built between you two finally dissipating after your brief talk. things have felt… fine, normal even, but it’s almost too normal. like the distance you both addressed had just been covered up with another flimsy bandaid, never fully resolved.
the problem is, she can’t stop thinking about you. and danielle, who’s oddly observant, keeps urging her to clear the air.
"just talk to her," danielle had said earlier, as they watched you laugh with the others during practice. "y/n wouldn’t let this mess up your friendship, you know that."
and now, as hanni sits there, her fingers hover over her phone screen, wondering if she should actually text you. she taps out a simple message before she can second guess herself:
hanni: you up?
the reply comes almost instantly:
y/n: yeah, what's up?
hanni: can’t sleep
y/n: aw me neither i was calling my mom earlier and after that i couldn’t close my eyes for more than a minute
hanni: :-( sorry to hear
hanni doesn’t know what else to say, but you beat her to the chase.
y/n: come over?
her heart races for no reason, and before she knows it, she’s standing in front of your room. she hesitates for a moment, then knocks softly before opening the door.
you’re sitting on your bed, scrolling through your phone. you’re worried that you scared her off again after being left on read. thankfully there’s a knock at your door a minute later, and when you see her, you offer a small smile. "hey."
"h-hey," hanni says, feeling a little awkward as she steps inside and sits on the edge of your bed. there’s a brief silence, the kind where you can both feel the unsaid words hanging in the air. she picks at her fingernails, glancing at you out of the corner of her eye. you’re still in your pajamas, hair a little messy, looking so comfortable that it’s hard to look away.
after a beat, you exhale, breaking the tension. "fuck this," you mutter, shifting to lay down on the bed, patting the space next to you. "come on."
hanni blinks, then, after a moment’s hesitation, lies down beside you. the bed feels small with both of you so close, but she’s trying to act normal, like her heart isn’t doing backflips just from being near you. you both stare up at the ceiling for a moment before you start talking, and to hanni’s relief, it feels natural.
you talk about everything—the group, your recent worries about the new routines, the photoshoots you’ve got lined up, how excited you are about the new choreography. hanni listens, nodding along, occasionally chiming in about her own thoughts. it feels comfortable, almost like it used to be, like there’s nothing between you but shared conversation.
"i’m really liking the new choreo," you say, turning your head slightly to look at her. "it’s intense, but it’s fun, right?"
hanni nods, her voice soft. "yeah, i love it. i think it’s one of our best routines."
there’s a pause, the kind that feels more like a breath than an interruption. she glances at you, and for a moment, everything feels lighter. like maybe this is enough—just talking, just being close like this.
"you’ve been doing great, by the way," you add quietly, eyes meeting hers, and suddenly both of you are all too hyperaware of how close and physical this is. "i know things have been weird, but i’m glad we’re good."
hanni swallows, her throat feeling tight as she stares at you. for a moment, she considers saying more, opening up about everything she’s been feeling. about how she’s been avoiding you because being close makes her too nervous, how danielle’s been pushing her to be honest, how she’s been daydreaming about you too much for her own good; she considers dropping the fact that she’s in love with you. but instead, she just gives you a small, appreciative smile.
"yeah," she whispers, her voice barely above a breath. "i’m glad too."
maybe it’s because it’s late and you’re too tired to keep pretending, sick of shrinking into some shell. maybe it’s because hanni is right there, looking like a dream, even more than that. maybe you’re young, stupid, and undeniably in love with her. the tension has been building all night, and before you can stop yourself, the words leave your lips, making your chest feel impossibly tight.
“i need to be honest with you,” you murmur, picking at your fingers beneath the blanket. “and you can pull away and leave after i say it.”
hanni frowns, sitting up slightly. “what?”
you swallow hard, the weight of your confession heavy in your throat. you sit up and put your face in your hands. “hanni, i like you. i like you the way people do in love songs. i like you like people yearn for each other in half the songs on your playlist. i don’t know any other way to say it, i’m—i’m sorry.”
there’s a beat of silence, a long, agonizing pause where you feel your heart shrinking into itself. hanni stares at you, her brows twitching, mouth slightly open, and all you can do is pray that this isn’t the moment everything falls apart.
“are you serious?”
you flinch. “i’m sorry—”
“no, no.” hanni shakes her head, turning away to stare up at the ceiling, hands covering her face. "i need a minute."
your heart shatters, the weight of rejection sinking deep. “hanni, i’m so sor—”
“don’t be.” she lifts her hands just enough to show her forehead, a wide smile breaking across her face. "oh my god. i like you too. i’ve been trying to tell you, i didn’t know how. danielle has been telling me to confess for weeks, but i was so scared."
your breath catches. "wait—seriously?"
hanni nods, still grinning, and suddenly everything shifts. the tension that had been suffocating you both breaks, leaving the air light and giddy. you both can’t look at each other for a moment, the sheer happiness boiling up inside making you fidget, trying to contain the laughter threatening to spill out. it’s a nice contrast from the (what seemed like) years of pining.
your hearts are pounding, faces flushed, and the awkward energy between you only makes it all the more real. now you’re both sitting next to each other like two middle schoolers in love—something like that—giddy, flustered, and shocked.
hanni glances at you through her lashes, then covers her face again, laughing softly. “i can’t believe this.”
“i can’t believe it either,” you admit, feeling the heat rise in your cheeks.
for a second, neither of you move. then, on a whim, you reach out and take her hand, the touch sending a rush of warmth through your body. hanni turns to you, her eyes meeting yours with that same mix of nervous excitement. it feels like time slows down, the world narrowing down to just the two of you. and before either of you can talk yourselves out of it, you lean in, your lips meeting hers in a soft, tentative kiss.
the world stops for a moment.
when you pull back, both of you are breathless, grinning like losers.
"oh my god," hanni says, eyes wide, voice barely above a whisper. “was that too quick? did we rush it?”
you laugh softly. "probably. but i think i would like, die if we hadn’t… yeah.”
without saying anything else, you both lay back down, facing each other on the bed, your fingers still intertwined. it feels easy now, like a weight has lifted, and the giddiness that lingers makes it impossible to stop smiling.
eventually, the talking fades, and you both drift off, tangled together, feeling a sense of peace that neither of you had realized you were missing.
everything feels right for the first time in weeks---hanni in your arms, your arms wrapped around hanni, being close to hanni, hanni close to you---and there's nothing that makes you happier in the moment.
KISSING IN THE BATHROOM ─── KIM MINJI
SYPNOSIS : you were in the middle of a reading, but boredom seemed to take over your girlfriend, so what better than to sneak out of class and make out in the bathrooms?
WARNINGS : fluff, kissing, minji being a flirt all the time.
WORD COUNT : 3.0k (i got carried away...)
NOTES : inspired by the song "les" (YES childish gambino mentioned 💪🏻)
you sit in history class, surrounded by the soft rustling of papers and the faint murmur of your classmates jotting down notes. the air is thick with the scent of pencils and encouragement from the teacher, mr. han, who drones on about the rise and fall of empires. you listen intently, occasionally lifting your gaze from the neatly organized notes on your desk to catch snippets of his lecture. inspired, your pen glides smoothly across the paper, every word a bridge to understanding rather than just a line in your notebook.
as you meticulously copy down an essential date, you can hear the faint hum of music playing through your wired headphones, but everything feels muted beneath the silver lining of your concentration. lost in your world, you’re blissfully unaware of the effect you have on the person seated beside you.
minji, the ever-serious president of the journaling and writing club with an aura that made whispered conversations pause when she entered a room, sits in the next seat over with an exasperated huff. she shifts in her chair, her gaze drifting lazily to the ceiling before landing on you. her brown eyes, often holding a depth that could intimidate anyone, shimmer with an unusual softness directed entirely at you. you’ve known this side of her, the playful and dreamy minji that steals glimpses of you while you’re lost in your studies, but in moments like these, it tickles your heart most.
minji’s striking features—straight eyebrows, deep brown eyes, high cheekbones, plump lips, defined jawline, and tousled hair—often make her look like a fierce warrior ready to take on any challenge. but you know the truth; beneath the intimidating façade lies a heart utterly wrapped around your finger. right now, that heart is a little bored.
you can almost hear her brain screaming for a reprieve from the teacher’s monotone voice, reciting facts like an unending stream of consciousness that threatens to drown out even the most rebellious thoughts.
with a twirl of her pencil in hand, she glances at her notebook, seeing little aside from a hastily drawn doodle of a cat with a wonky face. she’d hardly managed to write the date, an irony that curls her lips into a half-smile. as her notes appear more like artworks in progress than the neat structures hers should be, the boredom settles deeper into her bones.
without thinking, she lets the pencil slip from her fingers, listening as it thuds onto her already messy pages. then, leaning back in her chair, she stretches her legs out under the table, allowing herself to grumble softly. “sweetie…” you hear her low voice, and it pulls you, like a siren’s song, out from the drudgery. her tone is light and teasing, yet there’s a hint of desperation behind her request for distraction.
a few moments pass. she doesn’t bother with waiting for a response. instead, she tugs at the sleeve of your uniform sweater, a small but teasing effort to bring you back to her. when you merely give her a quick glance and then return your focus to your notes, her pout deepens. you’re entirely engrossed, and for a moment, she rolls her eyes, playfully dramatic.
“pay attention,” you reply with mock seriousness, attempting to keep your focus on the teacher, though the twinkle in your eyes betrays you. you’ve always admired how effortlessly handsome and intimidating minji looks, her seriousness only making her charming in a way that makes your heart flutter. still, you can’t help but worry about her, as the upcoming exam looms large in the back of your mind.
you know she’s not going to pay attention, but you also know how much she appreciates your diligence.
“sweeeeeeeeetie!” minji tries again, this time with a tug on the cord of your headphones. the action effectively disconnects the music, pulling you from your peaceful concentration. it takes a second—perhaps two—for you to process what just happened. you frown, turning to her with an expression caught between annoyance and amusement.
“minji,” you start, half-distracted, but the moment you see her face—the pouty lips, the glimmering eyes that seem to dance with mischief—you hesitate. “could you maybe not make the whole room aware that you’re bored?”
noticing she isn’t even paying heed to your words, you decide to give the classroom one last glance before you let the gravity of the moment whisk you away. it's just hard to concentrate when all you can think about is the way minji’s tough exterior melts away when it comes to you.
“do you want me to take notes for both of us? because clearly, you’re not gonna get much help from me on the homework he's planning to give us,” she replies, her voice dripping with mock seriousness, her deep tone laced with laughter and mischief. still, it fades as she leans back in her chair, true to her nature—the bored student running on borrowed time, hoping to escape this insufferable class.
the irony of it all doesn’t escape you—hers is the kind of beauty that could intimidate any admirer into silence, yet here she is, completely entranced by you.
you meet her dark, inviting gaze, and your heart flutters wildly. with a decisive breath, you take a quick glance around the room, ensuring the coast is clear, before leaning just slightly into her space. “are you really that bored?” you whisper in an insufficiently serious tone, it's softness betraying the light-heartedness of the moment.
her lips curled into a small smirk. “oh, but how could I help it? history is so…” she paused dramatically, feigning an exaggerated yawn, “…dull.”
“dull?” you couldn’t help but laugh, shaking your head. “you’re the president of the literary club. surely you can make the dull organize into something... colorful?”
minji's eyes flickered with mischief, her lower lip jutting out in a pout that made your heart flutter. “but it's far more fun to annoy you,” she whispered, leaning over the desk, flourishing her fingers as she grabbed the sleeve of your uniform sweater gently.
“minji, come on.” you allowed a smile to break through your serious demeanor, not completely suppressing the warmth that spread through you when she was close. the world faded away, and it felt like the two of you were in your own little universe.
in a matter of moments, she tugged at your headphones, pulling the cord out and effectively disconnecting you from your musical oasis. you frowned playfully. “how am I supposed to focus?” you huffed.
but as soon as you turned to her, the pout on her lips seemed to invite a different kind of focus. “how about you pay attention to me instead?”
you rolled your eyes, but your smile betrayed your amusement. “what do you want, minji?”
“i want you to help me escape this prison of text and timelines,” she declared dramatically, her tone shifting from bored to theatrical. “is it so wrong for a girl to want to indulge in some quality time with her amazing girlfriend?”
with a feigned look of deep thought, you responded, “hmm, it depends. are we talking about quality time or are we talking about you just being a flirt?”
“why not both?” she shot back with a wink that sent warmth flooding your cheeks.
you couldn’t stifle your laughter. “minji, i swear, if you don’t start jotting down some notes soon, i might have to report you to the principal for lack of participation.”
with a mock gasp, she clutched her chest. “how dare you threaten my position as the mighty president?”
you shook your head, finding a new sense of joy in her playful antics. sure, she may wear an intimidating mask, but you both knew it was merely a facade that melted away in precious moments like these. she was all charm and allure, a contrast to her rough-around-the-edges act—a fact that only made you love her more.
as she leaned closer, resting her chin on her hands atop the desk, you could smell her strawberry-scented shampoo mixed with the faintest hint of mint from her chewing gum.
with a sudden flourish, she decided that her boredom needed a more immediate solution. her hand is raised as she asks the teacher with a hint of impatience in her tone, scrunching her eyebrows together with the seriousness you found so attractive. the teacher, exhausted by the passive disinterest rolling off minji, begrudgingly agrees. without waiting for a second invitation, minji bolts from her seat as if her legs are made of springs, the sound of her chair scraping against the floor momentarily breaking the monotony of the classroom.
rolling your eyes and suppressing a laugh, you returned to your notes. the classroom felt quieter, the music trickling into your ears once you put your headphones back on. yet, mere moments later, your phone buzzed on the table—a message from minji: “meet me in the bathroom.”
heat rushed to your cheeks—surely this was an innocent request? but in a school where everyone knew you were a couple, the whispers and teasing from classmates could be relentless. still, you found it hard to resist her playful beckoning. with a small sigh, you sought the teacher’s permission, gathering your things and making your way down the hall, your heart racing with the thrill of yearning.
the wall of the quiet hallway met you with open arms, your footsteps echoing as you made your descent toward the bathroom. inside, you closed the door behind you, a comforting silence blanketing you. your eyes scanned the rows of cubicles, spotting the unmistakable black sneakers that belonged to minji.
as you approached the last cubicle, a sudden commotion behind you startled you—the shriek of a bathroom door swinging wide. before you could fully process it, a hand shot out, grabbing your tie with a swift tug. in an instant, you were pulled into the cubicle, plastered against the cool wall just as a soft gasp escaped your lips.
“hey, baby,” you said, your expression lighting up at the sight of her. it didn’t matter that she looked a little intimidating; it was that playful glint in her eyes that shattered any lingering nervousness. the serious girl you noticed at first glance was now leaning close to you, her breath mingling with yours, and your heart raced at the proximity.
“shh,” she whispers back, a playful grin plastered on her face as she inches closer. “not so loud; we might get caught.”
though you were both aware you were technically supposed to be in class, a playful spark lingered in the air, electrifying the moment. minji, with her serious demeanor and striking looks, often caught the attention of everyone around her, but it was her soft side that only you had the privilege to see.
the flickering fluorescent lights above did little to diminish the intensity of her gaze, which always left you feeling slightly flustered. she leaned against the cool tiled wall, arms crossed over her chest that accentuated her sharp yet alluring figure. “don’t tell me you’re nervous about getting caught.”
you giggled nervously, your stomach fluttering. “what if a teacher decides to check on us?” you could already imagine the look on their face if they found you both in this secluded little space.
“awww, come on,” she said playfully, stepping closer to you. the warmth radiated off her, and your heart raced as she reached up to tuck a loose strand of hair behind your ear, her touch igniting a thousand butterflies in your stomach. “they wouldn’t dare interrupt our little secret.”
before you could respond, minji leaned in, her lips brushing against yours with a feather-light touch. your thoughts completely escaped you, replaced by the sensation of her kiss. it was gentle at first—an invitation—and then a sweet, intoxicating pressure that made you feel like you were floating. her lips tasted faintly of the strawberry lollipop she had on the way to class, sweet and slightly tangy, mixing beautifully with the slight hint of the lip gloss you’d worn that day.
“minji,” you murmured against her lips, a mix of worry and desire. “what if—”
“shh,” she soothed, placing a finger over your lips. “just enjoy this.” with that, minji leaned in again, her kiss deepening as you melted against her. the world outside faded, leaving just the two of you locked in your private bubble of affection.
her hands found their way to your waist, pulling you closer. you felt blissfully trapped between the wall and her body, her warmth enveloping you completely. you couldn’t help but smile into the kiss, and for those precious moments, the weight of responsibilities, expectations, and the chaos surrounding being students with important positions in the school faded into nothingness.
but reality prickled at the edges of your mind. “minji, seriously, we can’t stay too long. what if—” you pulled away reluctantly, breathless, but her hands remained firmly on your waist, anchoring you to her.
“what’s the rush?" she teased, her voice husky and playful. "you think our classmates will care if we’re a few minutes late?” the confidence in her tone was infectious, and though part of you wanted to voice your worries louder, another part craved just a few more moments.
“okay, maybe just another minute,” you conceded, unable to resist her allure. the playful gleam in her eyes nudged you. “just—let’s be quick!” yet the moment you said it, her lips were on yours again, and you found it difficult to focus.
the world outside faded away, and all you could concentrate on was the warmth of her body pressing against yours. her fingers found their way to your waist, securely holding you as if you were the most precious thing in her life. you melted against her, wrapping your arms around her neck, losing yourself in the intoxicating scent of her perfume and the rhythm of her steady heartbeat.
as she gently caressed your hair, the kiss deepened, sending electric sparks dancing across your skin. it was a moment stolen from reality, a secret chapter in your love story, nestled safely between the walls of an otherwise mundane school day.
if there were rules—checklists for being responsible high school students—you’re sure you both would fail spectacularly at this moment.
both of you pull away reluctantly, foreheads resting against each other, lips slightly swollen and your hair tousled. a mirror reflects the chaos you've created—a messy romance hidden behind those bathroom doors. lipstick smudged at odd angles, traces of each other on your cheeks, and loose ties swaying as if the remnants of your moment were still dancing around you both.
the sound of the bell ringing in the distance echoed through the bathroom walls, making you both jump apart. the haunting reverberation of it signaled that lunch period was about to begin, and you couldn’t suppress the bubble of anxiety rising inside you. “see?” you chastised lightly, a laugh escaping despite yourself. “now we really have to go!”
minji grinned, brushed a little stray hair back from your face, and winked. “relax, sweetheart. let them wait a little longer. you know they’ll only think we were going over the school issues.” she leaned in for one last quick kiss, cheeky and powerful, catching you off guard as you melted into her embrace.
“okay, okay! you win,” you laughed, the warmth of her touch lingering against your skin. you hurriedly fixed your hair and attempted to smooth out the uniform that had been disheveled in your sweet chaos. but you caught her looking at you, the way her eyes sparkled created a sense of giddiness in your chest.
minji mirrored your movements, her own hair slightly tousled, and even as you both fought against the fabric of your uniforms to restore some semblance of order, your lips curved into mischievous smiles.
a knock echoes through the quiet bathroom, accompanied by whispers and giggles. It shouldn't surprise you that your friends —hanni, danielle, haerin, and hyein— are waiting on the other side, perhaps even expressing their own curiosity about your tangled escapade.
“are you lovebirds coming out anytime soon?” hanni's voice rings, dripping with playful mockery.
“shut up!” you call back, the laughter spilling from your lips, and the two of you share a hushed grin before adjusting to reality.
with a final look at each other, you both stepped out of the bathroom, laughter bubbling within you. the moment the door swung open, you were met with the curious gazes of your friends awaiting your return. their expressions ranged from exaggeratedly innocent to an all-knowing smirk at the state you both presented.
you and minji exchange glances, color rushing to your cheeks as you step out of the stall, suddenly very aware of your untidiness. your friends stand outside, arms crossed with incredulous smirks plastered on their faces, taking in the evidence of your misadventures—the still-slightly-wrinkled uniforms and the lipstick that didn’t quite make it.
“look who finally decided to join us!” hyein commented, her eyebrow quirked as haerin shot you a teasing wink.
“oh wow,” danielle added, placing a hand on her chest. “didn’t think you two would go all the way to the bathroom for just school business!” light laughter erupted between them, and you could feel your face flush with heat.
“oh, shut up,” minji retorts, her voice playful yet defensive, as she brushes a hand through her hair to look more presentable. you both attempt to act nonchalant, but the knowing looks from your friends almost betray your secret.
and yet, you can only smile, hand finding minji’s as the group files out, eager chatter surrounding you.
“i hope you studied for the exam,” you shot back playfully, “because i don’t think we’ll be getting extra credit for that little escapade.”
with laughter ringing through the hallway, you all headed for the cafeteria. side by side, you walked with minji, your fingers interlaced. that morning’s drudgery of history faded into the background, replaced by the anticipation of lunch and laughter, all thanks to a little rendezvous in the most unexpected of places—a reminder that sometimes, love’s most thrilling lessons arrive when you least expect them.

Masc lesbian doms with a size kink. Pushing their strap through your sopping velvety walls while you squirm and cry. Whimpering that it’s too much, that you’re just too damn tight. Still they smile and praise you
“Oh but my baby, you look so fucking pretty with those teardrops dancing in the corners of your eyes. You can take a little bit more, can’t you?. Go on baby, take a little bit more for mommy. shit, that’s my good girl”

I will never write for Taeil and I have removed the one thing I had for him. as far as collective content, I will be removing him from all of it.
i’m sure everyone has been seeing the news around and considering that i have a semi-platform here as a writer, i don’t feel comfortable not acknowledging or saying anything given the news this morning.
i want to make it extremely clear that i have zero tolerance for sexual and mental abuse towards women. period. what taeil did is extremely disgusting and disappointing and i would no longer like to be associated with him as a fan.
moving forward, any and all content mentioning him on my page has been removed and i will not be writing about or mentioning him whatsoever. if you still believe that he is an innocent man or wish to be an apologist, unfollow me immediately and do not interact with any of my content.
i hope this brave young woman can begin to find peace away from her abuser and more can begin to come forward to get the justice they deserve.
believe victims.
I will never write about taeil on this account, nor will I ever support him moving forward. May his victim(s) find peace and healing ❤️🩹
