vernon knows his own quirks very well. he knows he spaces out a lot, is very aware that sometimes he can come across as standoff-ish or rude. he also knows that he's not very attentive and easily misses some details, but even he is not that oblivious or dumb to not notice changes in your behavior. if there's one thing that vernon got used with you is you being affectionate. caressing his face when he's close. dropping a kiss on his cheek in the passing. hugging him from behind when he's standing. running your fingers through his hair when you two are laying next to each other. and now all of it is... gone.
it's disturbing, to say the least. it's like the switch went off and suddenly he can't see a thing, everything is pitch black. vernon watches you closely as you walk around the room, throwing things messily on top of your suitcase. he didn't have any bad feelings about your two weeks trip back home before, but now he can't help but feel that with you leaving something is going to break. his eyes track every move of yours and he mentally counts missed kisses. you usually grin at him and always come over to kiss him or hug him while packing; sometimes he distracts you enough to have you forget about the clothes and choose getting with him under the sheets. but today is different and his forehead is pretty much stinging right now with desire to be kissed, while his hands feel empty without yours.
'babe,' vernon calls, unsurely. when you pause and turn to look at him, he nervously asks: 'are we okay?'
you blink at him. 'yes? i mean, yes, we are.' you frown, fully turning to him this time. 'why are you asking this? do you feel like we are.. not okay?'
vernon knows when you're lying mostly because you're shit at it; right now he can tell that you're telling the truth and it only confuses him even more. if you think that everything is okay then where are his kisses?! 'it just..' he starts, deflating. 'feels weird. that's all.'
you're up from the floor instantly, coming to sit up next to him on the bed. you look worried and vernon waits for your hands on him but you keep them tightly pressed to your sides and he is going to scream. 'why, baby?' you ask, looking at him with your beautiful eyes which are now filled with worry. 'what's wrong? why it feels weird?'
he waits. waits for his hands to be clasped in yours, waits for you to come sit a little closer, waits for your warm hug. vernon counts to ten and when nothing happens, he feels a little foolish for hoping. he also feels like he's about to cry. 'it's weird,' he comments, looking down at his hands. he opens his palms and then looks back at your hands. 'they are empty. it's weird not to have your hands in them.'
'uh-' you look unsure, frowning. 'i don't get it, vernon.'
'what did i do?' vernon asks, finally raising his head. emotions well up in his heart and he tries hard not to let them spill. 'just tell me. be honest. i- i will fix it. whatever it is, i promise i will fix it.'
'vernon, baby, what are you talking about?' you sound distressed. 'what do you want to fix? what is happ-'
vernon grabs your hands in his and squeezes them hard. 'this. i'm talking about this. why- why you don't touch me anymore? you don't hug me as often as you used to, you don't kiss me all the time, you-' he pauses, trying to calm himself. his voice wavers as he continues: 'i miss this. i miss your hands in mine, your random kisses and hugs, i miss it all. what did i do?' he kisses both of your hands. 'tell me, angel.'
pregnant silence fills the room. it's horrible, to be honest. it makes vernon want to crawl out of his skin, because he can't take this silence, not from you. did he make you feel like you cannot be honest with him anymore? how did he manage to majorly fuck up?
your hands squeeze his. 'i thought...' you take a deep breath. 'i thought you didn't like it. so. i toned it down.'
vernon blinks. you don't look like you're joking and it wouldn't have been a funny joke either way; he opens his mouth and closes. opens it again: 'are you serious?'
'you never really react?' you look so fragile, biting your lower lip and looking away. 'like, you don't push me away but you also don't show that you liked it so i thought maybe you were just tolerating it, you know?'
vernon thinks that maybe banging his head on the wall will cure him. make him less oblivious, more adapt on social cues. fuck, how did he-
'i'm sorry,' he rasps, taking your chin in between his fingers and making you look at him. 'i just received your affection and got used to it so much that only when you toned it down i realized how much did i love it. how much i relied on it. baby, you make me so happy with it, you have no idea.'
you look up at him with big eyes filled with hope. 'yeah? you don't think i'm like, clingy?'
god, vernon is going to kill himself for ever making you doubt this. 'i love it,' he assures you. 'how affectionate you are, how clingy you are. it's what makes you you and i'm in love with you. i'm sorry for not making sure it's clear for you recently. i'll be better.'
sun doesn't shine as bright as you do when you smile widely at him. you paint the prettiest picture when you look like this and vernon is ready to take all the blame, take any punishment from god for making you for a second think that he might hate this part of you. when you hug him tight, he hugs you back even tighter, burying his nose in your neck, breathing you in. 'i love you so much, you are my sunshine, my everything.' he whispers secretly.
you giggle a little and it's the best sound. 'i love you too, baby. i do.'
a/n: finally getting down to your requests :') hopefully you liked this one!! - nini
Tw- Curses, Not explicitly stated but it can be read as Mingyu thinking you cheated, reader burns her hand, lmk what i missed
A/N- Saw a insta reel last night and based this on it :)
---
Mingyu was the golden retriever of the relationship. You loved the overall dynamic of the relationship. You guys balanced each other really well.
Yet, being the black-cat didn't stop you from also being the prankster of the duo. You loved seeing him flustered or riled up.
So now, as you were both having a tickle fight, an idea cross your mind. In hindsight, it was an awful idea. But hindsight is after it happens.
Tossing and turning as you both tickled each other, laughter echoed through the apartment. Moments like these are which gives you the energy to keep going everyday.
As he flipped you over, still both of you laughing loudly, an intrusive thought crossed. Maybe it wasn't the best idea, but you weren't thinking straight at that time.
"Minhyeok! Stopp" you blurted out laughing. Mingyu's mind malfunctioned for a second. Did you really say Minhyeok or did he just imagine it? No, he's sure thats what you said.
He halted his movements. Eyes wide.
"Who's Minhyeok?"
"What?"
He was still on top of you. His wide eyes bore into yours. His expression made you feel really guilty, but there was no turning back once you've started. He brushes his knuckles against your hair.
"Babe, you said Minhyeok"
"No I didn't"
"Babe I heard you" he got up from his position, getting on his feet and hovering above your lying figure. Sadness was very apparent in his eyes. It honestly made you feel an immerse amount of guilt.
"Babe, really, I didn't."
"Yes you did" he bent slightly in front of you, both hands on your knees as he looked deep into your eyes. Usually, the gesture would more often than not lead to both of you fucking. Not this time though.
"Babe, who's Minhyeok?" He asked, his voice even lower now.
"Babe, I don't know a Minhyeok"
"Yes you do, you said Minhyeok" his voice cracked slightly, he avoided eye contact. You tried to wrap your hands around his neck, pulling him closer while muttering a small "no i didn't"
He pulled away, shoving his hands in his pockets. Why the fuck did you ever think this was going to be funny?
"Babe, wanna tell me something?" He asked sternly. This time looking straight at you.
"Love, it's just a prank."
He narrowed his eyes at you, betrayed.
"What the fuck y/n"
"I am sorry..."
"That wasn't funny, at all" he said, clearly unamused.
"I am sorry, I wasn't thinking straight."
"Clearly" he muttered as he made his way out. You quickly got on your feet and followed suit.
"Where...?"
"I was supposed to meet Wonwoo...I forgot." He said, his voice cold. It wasn't completely unwarranted. But you didn't except him to shut off so abruptly.
He left before you managed to say anything more. The first thing that you thought as you left was-
Fuck I messed up.
---
As the next few hours passed, you spent the time beating yourself up (metaphorically, of course). What on earth possessed you to think that was funny?
You didn't know what to do. Should you wait for him? Should you keep apologising the moment he comes in? Should you just give him space and go to sleep?
You boiled tea on the stove. Milk tea always comforted you. So now, you zoned out as you stared at the milk slowly boiling. Despite quite literally staring at the kettle, you were so unfocused that you didn't realise the milk boiling too much and overflowing. Nor did you hear the sound of the front door opening.
As you were broken out of your trance by the scene in front of you, you rushed to turn the heat off and get the pot off the stove. Without a fucking glove.
You let out a shriek as pain shot to your finger. The pent up tears that you refused to let out since Mingyu left finally surfaced. Your finger was burnt but your chest hurt more. With guilt and hate towards yourself. What the fuck was wrong with you.
Despite the burn hurting, tears streaming down your face and sobbing loudly, you couldn't find the strength in yourself to move.
Being able to hear everything from outside, Mingyu rushed inside.
"What the fuck are you doing?" He asked harshly, but his voice was laced with concern. He made his way towards you and pulled your burnt finger under the sink's cold water.
It hurt so fucking much. You kept sobbing. Mingyu felt his heart breaking slowly. Mad or not, seeing you in pain always made him feel uneasy.
After five minutes, the pain went down and he pulled your hand out of the water. He glared at you as you squirmed under his gaze.
"Ermm..."
"What the fuck is your problem?" You flinched at his tone, but it was your fault after all.
"You can't just pull pranks like that. That wasn't a fucking prank. It was wasn't funny." He went said. Even though he wasn't raising his voice, his tone made shivers run down your spine.
"You know whats even more annoying?"
"Wha-"
"You pull shit like that and obviously I am mad. Who couldn't be mad if their partner pulls shit like that? And then you pull shit like this" he paused, gesturing to your finger.
"-And make me melt. It's fucking annoying. You're so cute it's hard to be mad at you for long!" He ended, breathing heavily. You stared at him with wide eyes. What just happened.
"I am sorry for being cute...?" You spoke hesitantly. He scoffed at that. For a second, you panicking. Did you say the wrong thing? Then you noticed a small smile on his lips. Small, but present.
"No but seriously, I am really sorry for earlier..." you told him.
"Wanna make up for it?" He asked, a grin playing on his lips as he inched closer to you. His gaze clearly gave away what he meant.
"Mhm"
He wrapped his arms around your waist and pressed his lips to yours. Contrary to the popular belief, Mingyu isn't gentle. At all.
Summary: Wonwoo can't reach you all day and he was worried.
Wonwoo tapped in the passcode and slipped into your apartment. The place was dark, only a sliver of streetlight filtering through the blinds. You weren't home yet. He glanced at his watchâ11 pm, and still no sign of you. His jaw tightened, frustration simmering beneath his usually calm demeanor. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed deeply before dropping onto the cold, untouched couch.
He fished out his phone from his pocket and stared at the screen. None of his messages had been delivered. Maybe your phone had died, or worse, maybe you turned it off on purpose. He didnât know, and it bothered him more than he wanted to admit. It felt like you were shutting him out, like he was some shadow lurking on the outskirts of your life, some afterthought you remembered only when it was convenient.
Wonwoo knew it was petty to think that way. You were busy; he got it. He had his own responsibilities too. But he always tried to carve out space for you, for thisâwhatever it was that you two had. Yet it was starting to feel like he was the only one doing any of the carving, the only one bending and compromising until there was nothing left of himself. He hated comparing, but lately, it seemed like he was the only one trying to keep your relationship from crumbling into something unrecognizable.
The sound of the door code beeping startled him from his thoughts. He glanced at his watch againâit was past midnight. An hour had slipped by without him even realizing. He looked up as you stepped in, calling his name softly, like you hadnât expected him to be there. You noticed him immediately because of the faint glow of the lamp heâd turned on.
âHey,â you greeted, your voice weary as you dropped your bag and keys on the coffee table. Wonwoo watched you silently, his gaze following you as you shuffled toward the bathroom without another word. No explanation, no apology, not even a simple how are you? The door clicked shut, and he let out a breath he didnât realize heâd been holding.
Of course, you were probably tired. You always were these days. But so was he.
When you finally emerged, fresh-faced and changed into your pajamas, you walked over to him, crossing your arms as if bracing yourself for something.
âWhat are you doing here?â you asked, your tone neutral, almost distant.
Wonwoo didnât answer immediately, his eyes scanning your face, searching for a signâany signâthat you cared even a fraction as much as he did.
âWhat time is it?â he asked quietly.
You glanced at the clock and sighed. âYeah, itâs late.â
âItâs past midnight,â he repeated, his voice tighter this time. âWhat were you doing out this late?â
You shifted uncomfortably, taking a small step back. âI was working⊠then I had dinner with a friend.â
Wonwoo swallowed hard, his throat dry. He hadnât eaten because heâd been waiting, sitting here like some idiot who believed youâd come home in time. But that wasnât what bothered him. No, it was the way you didnât even think to inform him, the way you assumed it was okay to leave him hanging.
âI tried texting you all afternoon,â he said slowly, holding up his phone. âBut your phone was off.â
You rubbed your face, exhaustion lining your features. âSorry, I forgot to charge it.â
Wonwoo let out a humorless laugh. âYou always say that. Itâs not the first time your phoneâs died while youâre working, and itâs not the first time Iâve been left wondering where the hell you are.â His voice rose slightly, unable to keep the bitterness out. âI was worried about you all day.â
âIâm sorry, okay? Iâve been caught up with a project we need to finish by the weekend. I lost track of time and got distracted.â Your voice was pleading, but it only made the irritation in Wonwooâs chest flare hotter.
ââLost track of time,â âforgot,â âIâm sorry.ââ Wonwooâs eyes blazed as he leaned back against the couch, staring up at the ceiling as if it held all the answers he was searching for. âLast time, you said sorry too. But you still did it again. Every. Single. Time.â
âI knowââ you began, but he cut you off, sitting up abruptly.
âNo, you donât know!â he snapped, startling both of you. âYou donât get it. Iâm tired too. I have things to do, responsibilities to take care of, but Iâm always here, arenât I? Waiting for you, making excuses for you, forgiving you before you even apologizeâif you even bother to apologize at all.â
âWonwoo, pleaseââ
âPlease, what?â he demanded, his voice breaking a little. He stood up, towering over you, his eyes filled with something raw and painful. âIâm tired of always coming second. Of always being the one who has to understand. You say youâre sorry, but you donât change. You never change.â
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his emotions were spiraling. He looked away, jaw clenched. âSometimes it feels like Iâm the only one trying to keep us together. Like Iâm⊠Iâm the only one who even cares.â
âThatâs not fair,â you whispered, your voice shaking slightly. âIâm doing my best. Itâs just workââ
âItâs always work,â Wonwoo muttered bitterly. âYou know what? I get it. Work is important. I would never ask you to choose. But⊠would it kill you to make a little more room for me? For us?â
Silence fell between you two, heavy and suffocating. You looked down, your lips pressed into a thin line, and he knew then that whatever he said, however much he begged, it wouldnât change a thing.
âForget it,â he muttered, brushing past you and heading for the door. âI should go. Youâre probably tired, right? Just get some rest.â
âWonwoo, waitââ you called, reaching out to him, but he was already halfway out the door.
âGoodnight,â he murmured softly, and before you could respond, the door closed behind him with a quiet thud. And you were left standing there, alone, with the apology you never got to say stuck in your throat.
*
Wonwoo never got madâreally mad. And last night was the first time youâd heard his voice rise like that, cracking through the usually calm and unshakable persona he carried like armor. Sure, you two had argued before. Little things here and there, petty misunderstandings that fizzled out almost as soon as they started. It was always resolved with one of you giving up or simply brushing it aside, pretending it hadnât happened in the first place.
In the beginning, you were the one who used to pick fights. His calm and quiet demeanor had frustrated you to no end. You couldnât understand him, couldnât read him, and the constant absenceâboth physical and emotionalâdrove you insane. He was always caught up in his work, giving little time for you two to sit down and have a real, heart-to-heart conversation.
You used to demand updates, craving any tiny piece of information that would give you a sense of closeness. Where was he? Who was he with? Why couldnât he spare a second to reach out? Wonwoo was a terrible communicator, leaving you grappling to hold onto the loose threads of your relationship. But he had changed for you. Little by little, heâd learned how to make room for you, even if it meant stepping outside of his comfort zone. Youâd seen his effort, and that had made you fall for him even harder.
But then things flipped. You were the one who got busy, swept into the whirlwind of your new job at an event organizing company. The endless meetings, sleepless nights, and back-to-back projects consumed your time. You thought heâd understand since he had always been the busy one. Yet as you dove deeper into your career, it was as if youâd unknowingly turned into the very person you used to resent him for beingâdistant, preoccupied, forgetting to even check in.
Wonwooâs patience was unraveling thread by thread, the steadiness that had once drawn you to him now cracking under the weight of your absence. It was almost as if he were fighting an unseen rivalâyour job, your responsibilitiesâjealous in a way that confused you. Did you like his attention? His sudden need to know your every move, to constantly check up on you? Yes, you did. But you had so much on your plate that you assumed heâd understand, just as you had tried to understand him before.
Now, standing in the cold bathroom light, you were doubled over the sink, the sour bile of your dinner clawing its way up your throat. You retched violently, but nothing came outâonly a bitter, acrid taste lingering on your tongue. The pain in your stomach was relentless, searing hot, and spreading like wildfire. You clutched the sinkâs edge, trying to steady yourself, but your vision blurred as a wave of dizziness crashed over you.
Your knees buckled, body folding as you slid against the wall and slumped onto the cold tile floor. You tried to take a deep breath, but your lungs felt constricted, and each inhale only made the pain worse. Every nerve screamed in agony, and your entire body felt heavyâlike it wasnât even your own anymore.
Fumbling blindly, you reached for your phone on the bathroom counter. You didnât know who else to call, who else would drop everything for you at a momentâs notice. Your fingers trembled as you dialed the one number you had on speed dialâWonwooâs.
It rang once, then twice, and for a moment, dread crept in. What if he didnât pick up? What if he was still too upset, too angry with you?
Finally, the line clicked, but instead of the familiar warmth you usually heard in his voice, you were met with a cold, strained tone. âWhat is it?â
His indifference hurt more than you expected, but you couldnât dwell on it. You squeezed your eyes shut, forcing out the words between ragged breaths. âCan you comeâŠ?â Your voice was a weak rasp, barely audible even to yourself.
âWhatâs wrong?â His tone changed instantly, the sharp edge replaced by alarm. âWhere are you?â
You leaned back against the wall, your body sliding further down as your grip on the phone loosened. âI think⊠food poisoning,â you managed to whisper, feeling the world start to tilt and spin around you. âI think Iâm going to pass outâŠâ
âWait, what?â Wonwooâs voice grew louder, panic bleeding into each syllable. âWhere are you? Are you home?â
âYeah,â you breathed out, struggling to stay conscious. The phone slipped from your grasp and hit the floor with a soft thud. You could faintly hear Wonwooâs voice calling your name, his words frantic and urgent, but it felt like it was coming from somewhere far away, almost as if you were underwater.
âHeyâstay with me! Can you hear me? Iâll be there in ten, okay? Just hang in there!â His voice cracked, the desperation palpable.
You tried to nod, to say something, anything, but your vision was darkening, the pain in your stomach swelling until it felt like you couldnât breathe. Cold sweat trickled down your face, and you fought to keep your eyes open, to stay awake for just a little longer.
âWonwooâŠâ you whispered weakly, but your voice was swallowed up by the crushing silence of the bathroom.
Then everything went black.
*
Wonwoo sat quietly in the waiting room, eyes fixed on the floor as the doctor examined you. The sterile, cold atmosphere of the hospital did nothing to ease the storm of thoughts swirling in his mind. The moment he got you to the emergency room, all the anger and frustration from the night before had drained from him, replaced by an overwhelming sense of guilt. This was his faultâhe was sure of it. You were lying there, weak and suffering, because he couldnât understand you, couldnât meet you halfway.
He was selfish. He knew that much about himself. From the moment he met you, you were everything he had ever wantedâsmart, beautiful, independentâbut deep down, he feared that he couldnât be enough for you. Heâd always been terrified that his flaws, his shortcomings, would eventually drive you away. But you had changed him. You had shown him how to grow, how to be better, and he wanted to be betterâfor you.
But last night⊠last night was different. He lost control. He let his insecurities get the best of him, raising his voice at you for the first time in your entire relationship. It felt wrong, and yet, in the heat of the moment, he couldnât stop himself. He knew now that you werenât the only one at fault. You had been caught up in your new job, excited and busy with the demands of a new careerâexploring everything you could bring to the table. And more than anything, you were happy. It was written all over your face when you talked about your work, a joy you hadnât had in your last job.
He should have understood that. After all, he had been in the same position not too long ago. When work consumed him to the point where he couldn't find time for anything else, including you. How could he have forgotten that?
The realization made his chest tighten with regret. He had no right to say half the things heâd said last night. The harsh words, the accusatory toneâthey were driven by his own insecurities, not by any real fault of yours. He had projected his fears onto you, punished you for doing the same thing he had once done, and now you were lying in a hospital bed because of it.
The sound of footsteps pulled him from his thoughts, and he looked up to see the doctor approaching. âItâs food poisoning,â the doctor said, his voice calm and professional. âSheâs been treated, and once she wakes up, she should be fine. It wasnât anything too serious, but sheâll need some rest.â
Wonwoo exhaled deeply, a rush of relief flooding through him. It wasnât something worse. You were going to be okay. But still, the weight of guilt sat heavy on his shoulders. He had almost lost you, not just because of the food poisoning, but because of how badly he had handled everything. He realized now that his anger wasnât truly directed at youâit was at himself, for not being able to keep up, for not being the partner he thought you deserved.
As he waited for you to wake up, Wonwoo made a silent promise to himself: he would fix this. No more insecurities, no more resentment. He would try harder, be more understanding, and give you the space you needed to grow. Because, in the end, all he wanted was for you to be happyâeven if it meant stepping aside and letting you thrive.
âWonwoo...â your voice was weak, barely above a whisper, but it snapped him out of his anxious thoughts. He immediately turned to you, his heart skipping as he saw your eyes flutter open. Without hesitation, he dashed to your bedside, his face softening with relief.
âDo you need anything? Are you okay?â he asked urgently.
You mumbled, âWater...â and he was quick to get some. As he gently helped you sit up, holding the glass to your lips, the sight of you drinking, of you finally awake, allowed the tension in his chest to ease.
âHow do you feel? Is your stomach still killing you?â Wonwoo's voice was full of concern, his eyes searching your face for any sign of lingering pain.
You shook your head slowly, âNo, Iâm fine now.â Your voice was hoarse, but steady. âWhat time is it?â
He glanced at his watch. âItâs just past lunchtime. Youâve been out for about two hours, baby.â
You sighed, leaning back against the pillows. âI mustâve scared you when I called this morning.â
Wonwoo shook his head, leaning closer to reassure you. âNo, donât worry about that. Honestly, Iâm just relieved you called. I donât know what I wouldâve done if you passed out and I didnât know.â His voice was soft, but there was an underlying fear that hinted at how much the morning had rattled him.
You nodded, the weight of everything from last night pressing against your chest. âIâm sorry...â
âDonât be,â he quickly interrupted.
âNo,â you insisted, looking him in the eyes, âIâm sorry for last night, and for... all the other times. I made you feel like you were being neglected.â
Wonwoo sighed, lowering his gaze. âItâs not just that. I was being childish. I let my frustration get the better of me. I was wrong, too. I was selfish. Iâve been so caught up in my own feelings that I didnât stop to think about how hard it must be for you... waiting for me while I was busy all the time.â His voice cracked a little as he finally admitted the guilt heâd been carrying.
You reached for his hand, your touch warm and reassuring. âBut still, I shouldnât have made you feel like I was ignoring you. I wasnât trying to push you away. Itâs just... Iâve been feeling so overwhelmed with work lately, trying to prove myself, trying to manage everything.â
Wonwoo looked at you, his thumb brushing over your knuckles. âI know. I get it now. And I donât want you to take anything I said last night to heart. It was just... I was angry, and I didnât mean it. I promise.â
You gave him a small smile, one that held both forgiveness and exhaustion. Then, with a playful stretch of your arms, you said, âI want a hug.â
Wonwoo couldnât help the soft chuckle that escaped him, and without hesitation, he wrapped you in a warm embrace, one that seemed to melt away all the lingering tension between you. It felt rightâlike this was where you both needed to be after everything.
âLetâs get lunch after this,â Wonwoo murmured, his chin resting on the top of your head. âAnything you want.â
Your ears perked up, and you pulled back just enough to look at him with playful curiosity. âAnything I want?â
Wonwoo chuckled again, his smile soft and full of affection. âYes, anything you want.â
He leaned down to press a gentle kiss to your forehead, lingering there for a moment before whispering, âI love you. Iâll always love you, no matter what.â
As his words sank in, you felt a warmth spread through your chest, and for the first time in days, everything felt at peace.
Jeonghan (SVT) | Lazy morning
fluff | 0.7k | gn!reader
A/N: dedicated to my forever muse and enabler @hanniedream
You wake up with a satisfied hum and a long stretch. No alarm to rudely disturb you and bother you, just sunlight slowly making its way into the bedroom. The room is a little too chilly for your liking, but the warm blankets youâre bundled up in more than make up for it. You check your phone for time and are pleased to see youâve gotten a full night of sleep and itâs not too late, nor too early. It feels good. Good enough for you to consider going back to sleep but ultimately deciding against it.
Turning to lay on your other side, youâre greeted with exactly the view you expected. It never gets old. Jeonghan is still asleep or pretends to be, who knows. His chest rises and falls in slow rhythm, his eyes closed and features peaceful. You smile. Knowing itâs better to let your boyfriend sleep, you turn back again to quickly check your phone and then get up. As you do, though, a pair of arms wraps around your middle, hands deftly slipping under your shirt to rest against your bare skin. He tries to pull you closer with very little force; more like heâs ordering you to come to him.
âWhat is it?â you tease, gently scratching your nails over his forearms. You feel him shiver.
âCome back,â he whines, still groggy with sleep but already so demanding, âItâs cold.â
You sigh. Itâs against your better judgment that you cater to his request and shuffle back until you feel his chest pressed against you. He hooks his chin over your shoulder with great effort and messily pecks your cheek before lying down again.
âIâm getting up soon,â you chuckle, âIâm just indulging you so youâre quiet.â
He makes a little noise that is easy to be simply enjoyed and dismissed. Youâre not playing this game today. You feel as Jeonghan tries and fails to raise his head again and you bite back a smile.
âYou should get up with me,â you suggest, âWe could make breakfast together, or maybe laze around while we wait for delivery.â
âWhy would we get up? We can keep sleeping,â heâs pouting. You can feel his pursed lips pressed against your nape. He's so out of it, not fully awake yet.
âBecause I miss you,â you playfully coo back at him, just trying to get a reaction, âItâs like youâre not here when youâre sleeping.â
Thereâs a pause in his breathing.Â
âAh,â is all he says, followed by an airy chuckle. He, uncharacteristically, doesnât sound teasing. If anything, youâd say your boyfriend sounds shy.
âIs that all you have to say?â you nudge him gently.
âNo,â Jeonghan shakes his head.
âThen?â you push.
Instead of speaking, he snuggles closer to you. With the little strength heâs able to use he tightens his arms around you and you know youâre not going anywhere. His body curls behind yours perfectly, so that thereâs no space between you, so that you could melt together any second. His nose tickles as he nuzzles his face into your hair.
âWell?â you whisper, both amused and endeared. Jeonghan just makes another tiny noise, hiding further into your hair. You half expected him to go straight back to sleep, but instead he feels tense behind you.
âIâm not going anywhere,â you promise as your hand finds his under your shirt to hold, âWe can sleep more if you want.â
He nods, and you think he presses a kiss into your hair but youâre not sure. Itâs so soft. Slowly his body relaxes, his breathing slows again.Â
You think he must be asleep already, yet soon you feel him nudging his nose against your nape. When you donât react, he whines for a good measure.Â
âWhat is it?â you hum, squeezing his hand lightly.
Instead of answering, Jeonghan lazily guides your hand away from your stomach. It takes a few minutes and a couple tries but eventually he succeeds in bringing your hand to his hair.
You huff, first giving him a gentle headpat. When he makes such a heartbreaking quiet noise as he does, though, you can only give in and play with his hair despite the awkward angle that makes your arm feel uncomfortable and sore soon. Despite that, you continue.

"God, I love you." With your arms draped around Seokmin's neck, you pressed kisses to his jawline, causing the male to laugh as you stared at your boyfriend's joyed expression.
The two of you had been in public all day today, and you've been trying your hardest not to crawl up Seokmin's side like a squirrel does a tree. He knew how clingy you have been the past few days, especially since his schedules were jam-packed with practices, hair appointments, and photoshoots. Seokmin has barely had time to relax the past month, and now that he was finally off for a week, you could revel in your boyfriend's presence once again.
"I love you too. You've said that almost ten times though, and we just got home." Seokmin pushes his ballcap further down on his brow, but you take it off completely, revealing his slightly wavy brown hair as you run your hair through it. Seokmin laughs again, hands on your waist as you roll off of him, taking his body with you as you press a kiss to his already kiss-swollen lips.Â
"Min, I missed you so bad." The pout on your lips is nothing short of slightly petty, and Seokmin just smiles at you, eyes crinkling up as the leftover makeup on his face glitters in the light of your living room. The eyeshadow staining his eyelids is nothing less of ethereal, and the slight glitter on his cheek sends flutters straight to your stomach.
"You're looking at me." Seokmin says, and you continue to lock eyes with him, nodding as your eyes fall to his lips. Tracing your small fingers from Seokmin's ear, to jawline, and down to his collarbone, you nod again slowly, a shy smile gracing your lips.
"How can I not? You're so pretty." You whisper, and Seokmin looks away, cheeks heating up as he starts to sulk, lips jutting out in the cutest way you swear you ever seen as he sighs.
"I wish you'd stop spoling me with your sweet words." Seokmin was saying something that should have sounded serious, but with the way he was pouting and mumbling, you couldn't take him seriously. Smiling, you just sighed, fingers flying to his necklace as you fiddled with it, feeling his hands run up and down your back gently as he sighed, obviously content with what was happening.
His eyelashes fell against his skin so perfectly, and his lips parted in the cutest wayâŻit was a crime how stunning Seokmin was after a long day's work, and you felt wrong for hoping he had more days like this: days where he could come home to you spoiling him and making him feel like all the work he did was worth it.Â
You wanted to make Seokmin feel like he was worth it.
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something?" You sit up, content with spoiling your boyfriend for now. Seokmin, on the other hand, looks completely flabbergasted at your suddent halt, eyes wide as if he wasn't expecting you to stopâŻyou thought it was absolutely adorable, the way he looked at you, secretly begging you to keep going.
"It's nine, honeyâŻyou don't have to do that for me." Seokmin groans as he sits up, pulling off his hoodie to reveal his slightly oversized sweater. He shuffles to the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water as he leans against the countertop. You follow after your boyfriend like a lost puppy, shaking your head as you reach for him again: Seokmin crumbles, as you knew he would, and brings you in for a hug, head on top of yours as you pull away, eyes locking with him.
"Seokmin, you're worth that. I'd cook for you anytime you want, especially since you've worked so hard this week." Seokmin's face falls, and he looks away, lips stuck out in a pout as he mumbles something you can't understand.
"Words, Seokkie." You remind him, and he heaves a heavy sigh, looking back at you as he wets his lips.
"I'm sorry. I'm just really stressed and overwhelmed right now." His voice breaks mid-sentence, and you grab his hands, looking him in his eyes as the corners well up with salty tears.
"Hey, heyâŻyou don't have to apologize for this at all. I'm here for everything, Seokkie: if you're stressed, we can talk about it. If you're confused, I can try to help you get some clarity. If you're overwhelmed, we can talk it out. If you're angry, we can calm down together. If you need some love, I'll give you all the love and affection you want." Caressing Seokmin's jawline, he nods, cradling his face in your hand as you smile at him, noticing the tip of his sharp nose as it turns red.
"Awww, poor Seokkie. Don't cry." Wiping his tears, you press a kiss to where the teardrops landed, causing Seokmin to scrunch up his nose as laughs escape from his throat. After a few more kisses and tickles, Seokmin's back to his smiling self again, curly hair bunching around his ears as he stares at you with pure adoration in his eyes.
"Thank you. For everything. I really don't deserve it." Seokmin sighs breathily, kissing your kiss-swollen lips as he brings his hand to your hair, running his lithe fingers through it.
"You deserve it, Seokmin. Stop." You sigh, and Seokmin laughs, turning a blaring red as he kisses you again, causing you to melt to his touch, nearly falling to the tiled floor of your kitchen.
"You're Mr. Lucky." You giggle, locking eyes with your boyfriend as he leans down to you, sharp nose meeting yours as he scrunches his face up, eyes sparkling with love as he smiles.
cheeks are red like cherries in the spring - choi seungcheol imagine
hellllooooo yes back to back postđ one thought, why is diet pepsi so cheol coded ??????? cherry???? cross gold chain???!?!?!?! LIKE OKAY MS ADDISON RAE THANK U FOR THE NEW CHEOL ANTHEM
and with that song in mind, here's a cheol scenario HAHA hope you like it!
if anyone want to be mutuals on X, i'm using the same un theređ
for my other svt fics, check them here
if you want, u can buy me coffee(totally optional but any donation is very much appreciated!) thank youđ„șđ
"Cheol, I swear to god get the fuck out of my shirt"
"Your shirt? This is my shirt"
The audacity of this man to argue back, you thought. Who knew a big buff man like Choi Seungcheol would be like a clingy koala, the answer would be you and only you. You're the only one who gets him like this.
So here he is, half of his body inside your(his) shirt while you sit on his lap.
You're close to getting your work done but Cheol's being difficult, littering kisses and a few playful bites here and there on your chest.
"Cheolie, please give me five minutes to finish this then I'm all yours. If you don't stop, I'm sleeping in the guest bedroom"
You feel him move out of your shirt, now he's fully facing you. One brow raised and a sulky pout already placed on his lips "You're mean"
"5 minutes or no cuddles tonight"
He scowls before helping you off his lap so he can get off the seat. "I'm setting a timer, done or not I'm coming in here" And you believe him. He's petty like you, maybe because you're both Leos.
He kisses you on the cheek before walking away, closing the door behind him.
You finish the last three emails you had to send before doing a final run through. You look at the clock to see you're cutting it close. Testing to see if Cheol will really come in the room, you wait instead of going out to the living room.
When the clock turns, you hear the door swing open. Everything happening all too fast, Seungcheol already throwing you over his shoulder before you can protest. He walks to the other room where he throws you (gently) on the bed, hands on his hips as he watch you laugh
"You're so petty" you laugh
"And you're so pretty, you know just how to drive me mad huh" he tells you, climbing over the bed until he's on top of you. He slots himself between your legs, tangling them around his hips as he rests his body on you but not fully putting all of body weight on you
"You better not have left hickies on my neck again" you poke him on the cheek
"And if I did? It's not like somebody will come and check" he retorts, then leans down to start kissing your neck again as if to prove a point.
"Cheol, seriously. I can never wear low cut now" your words differ from your actions, tilting your head to the side to give him more room. He smirks against your skin, kissing the same spot over and over again.
He pauses to look at you, eyes looking back at him with so much love and lust it goes straight through him. "You know you have a few moles like from your neck down here" he trails his finger from your neck down the valley of your chest, leaving goosebumps on it's trail.
"Do I?"
"Mhm, and you know what they say about moles? They say that's where you were kissed the most in your past life"
You smile, already seeing where this conversation is going. "Jealous?" you tease him
"Pshhh me? Yes. Actually sometimes it pisses me off thinking someone loved you this much, someone who isn't me"
"But what if it was you?"
"Then good. It should be me. I can't even fathom any other guy loving you more than I do" he tells you, ever so sure and confident of his commitment to you.
"You're cute when you're jealous"
"I'm gonna kiss you here too, over and over again so when we're reborn you get all these moles again I'll be sure it would be because of me"
You stare up at your man, imagining a universe where you're not with him is simply impossible. Pulling him down to crash his lips against yours, he reciprocates the kiss with just as much passion. Like you're the air he's breathing.
When you pull away he speaks again, "I really hope it's me in every universe"
You smile at his words, giving him a more gentle kiss this time. The two of you share a smile and few more kisses before you tell him,
I was wondering if you could write a fiction where the svt members give a silent treatment to the reader but she is too sensitive and starts crying (because she thinks she doesn't deserve them)
Please feel free to reject it if ur uncomfortable đđ
seventeen reaction when you start to cry when they give you a silent treatment
a/n: guyyyys im the worst with angst, but i tried!! đ
seungcheol the second you start shaking, heâs up on his feet, crossing the room and pulling you into a tight, crushing hug. heâs warm, solid, his hand gently cradling the back of your head. âmy fault, my fault, my fault,â he whispers, his voice hoarse. âi shouldâve been better. i shouldâve stopped this. i didnât mean to hurt you. god, i didnât mean it.â
jeonghanâs regretting it the whole time. too good at keeping his distance, until he sees the tears running down your cheeks. then, he freezes âhey, heyâŠâ he pulls you into his arms, wiping your tears away with his thumb. âshit, iâm sorry. you know i was just being stupid, right?â he leans his forehead against yours, brushing his fingers through your hair. âdonât cry, baby. it kills me to see you like this.â
joshua heâs always so gentle, i dont even see him giving silent treatment to someone. heâs instantly at your side, cupping your face in his hands. âplease donât cry. i hate this. i hate that i made you feel like this.â his voice wavers as he presses his lips to your forehead, his touch feather-light. âi love you, okay? iâm so sorry. i shouldâve never let it get this far.â
junhuiâs been avoiding your gaze, trying to keep the silence going even though itâs killing him. that first broken sob makes him almost freak out, heâs at your side, his hands trembling as he touches your arm. âohâ iâ no, donât cry,â he murmurs, his voice in purew panic. he gently pulls you into his lap, wrapping his arms around you.
hoshi snapd. of course he snaps. he practically flies out of his seat, rushing over to you, arms wide. âoh, shitâno, no, donât cry, donât cry,â he blurts out, voice frantic as he wraps you up in the tightest hug, almost lifting you off the ground with how desperate he is. his fingers stroke your back awkwardly, trying to soothe you, and his voice is trembling.
wonwoo when he sees the tears fall, something inside him bursts. heâs not good at dealing with emotions, but he canât just sit there while youâre crying. he pulls you gently onto his lap, his hand awkwardly stroking your hair. âiâm sorry, i donât always know how to show it⊠but i care. a lot. i never wanted to make you cry.â he presses a kiss to your temple, his heart racing. âdonât cry, please. or I will cry too.â wonwoo saysâalready crying.
woozi stands up, awkwardly hovering for a second before pulling you into a tight hug. âfuck⊠iâm sorry,â he whispers against your hair. âi didnât mean to push you this far.â his grip on you tightens, and he rests his chin on your head, letting out a shaky breath. âi canât stand seeing you like this.â fingers twitching like heâs about to break any second.
minghao crouches down now too, right in front of you. he doesnât say much at first, just gently tugs your hands away from your face, his touch delicate, like heâs scared to break you even more. âthis was stupid, i shouldnât have done this. it was childish.â he holds your gaze, his eyes serious âyou didnât deserve that.â kisses the back of your hands, laying his head on your knees begging you for forgiveness.
mingyu is already full of shame before you even start crying. but when the sobs hit, he stops dead in his tracks. he rushes to you, kneeling down in front of you. his large hands cup your face, and his thumbs brush away your tears. âfuck, i never wanted to make you cry.â his voice cracks, and he pulls you into a bone-crushing hug, his head buried in your shoulder. looks like heâs about to break down himself.
seokmin gets on his knees beside you, eyes wide and watery, his usual smile completely gone. âmy love iââ he says in this tiny voice, like heâs terrified he made everything worse. his hands flutter near your arm before he finally grips your sleeve like he needs you to believe him. âplease donât cry because of me.â
seungkwanâs been fidgeting the whole time, hating every second of the silence. thinking it couldn't get worse until you break in front of him âoh my god,â he blurts out, rushing over to you, his voice frantic. he pulls you into his arms, holding you as tight as he can. he lets out a shaky breath. âyouâre everything to me. iâm sorry for making you feel like this.â
vernon is not sure how to fix it, thinking that in all ways, this sucked. the second you start crying, his chest tightens, and heâs at your side, pulling you into his lap. âiâm so so sorry. i didnât mean to let it get this bad.â he wraps his arms around you, holding you close, trying to look into your eyes, pressing his lips into a line when you look away. âiâm here, okay? iâm here.â he presses a soft kiss to your cheek.
chan would be standing by the door, but the second you sob again, heâs crossing the room in three big steps, hands flinching to touch you and flinching back at him again as if he would burn you if he did. he would rather sit beside you still in silence, to find the best words since he hasn't talked during this whole time.
tw; talks of pregnancy and mentions of seahorses, slight suggestive.
âbaby, i can only know what's wrong if you tell me.â seungcheol is kneeled in front of you, softly caressing your knees with his calloused hands.
worry laces his warm, brown eyes as he stares at you. you stay silent, but the pout on your lips speaks a thousand words. he rakes a hand through his hair, mentally rewinding all the things he did and didn't.
but it's the same conclusion as before, he cannot remember what could've upset you. he sighs but doesn't lose his cool. you observe him, quietly. guilt wraps around your heart but you cannot bring yourself to say why you're upset.
âbaby,â you whisper, voice barely audible.
âhmm?â
âbaby.â
âyes?â
âno. baby,â you make a gesture with your hands, as if you're holding a baby.
worry fades into horror beneath his irises and you see his face morph into multiple emotions. he rubs his face, and looks at you, wide-eyed. you cut him off before he could say anything.
âi'm not pregnant.â
âi.. baby.â
seungcheol doesn't need any more words to comprehend your thoughts. he breaks out into a big smile and gets off the floor to take you into his arms.
you snuggle into his neck, enjoying the silent understand between you two. he chuckles when he feels you pout against his skin and whine. his gentle hand cards through your locks, and the other pats your lower back.
ânot now, honey.â his big hand caresses your tummy and he sneaks a kiss to your neck.
âi have to work hard, then build a home and get married with you. then, we can have as many kids as you want.â he finishes with a smile.
âas many as i want?â you raise your eyebrow, a habit you picked up from him.
âmhm.â
âok, i want thirteen kids.â you chuckle as he tries not to show his surprise and visibly tenses. he goes into deep thought while you admire him, tracing his features with your finger.
âthirteen .. is a lot. but we can do it.â it's your turn to be flabbergasted and you pull away from his embrace.
âi can't birth thirteen babies,â you wince, clutching your stomach. he laughs at you with a look that says 'you asked for it.'
âwell, don't you think we should practice? practice makââ you cut him off by flinging a pillow to his face and jet off. you giggle, seeing his face but it's short-lived when he runs after you.
you try to outrun him but it's in vain as he back hugs you and brings you back to the bed. and it seems that the sudden adrenaline rush has you thinking the same.
âmaybe, we should.â you're breathless underneath him, hair tousled and eyes holding a new hunger. he groans, begging you not to egg him on.
seungcheol holds you close, whining into your neck. he complains with a pout about how you bewitched him and that he has a baby fever now as well.
âi've decided. i'm gonna work really hard to provide for our 15-member family.â
you laugh but he insists that he's being serious despite the lovesick smile on his face. he switches positions with you, now holding you between his arms.
âwe can. in another life time, when we're both reincarnated as seahorses.â you hug him, enjoying the warmth radiating off him.
âi wish we were seahorses.â he sighs, dramatically and shakes his head. you giggle, hitting his chest.
âdo you think i'd look good pregnant?â he asks, deep in his thoughts.
âŠđ ⊠sleepy choi seungcheol means many things - dramatic, adorable, and very kissable
âand then he straight up left the room,â seungcheol said and nuzzled his head further up your neck, sighing happily as your nails scratched his scalp in all of the right places. âi swear heâs so dramatic sometimes.âÂ
you hummed in acknowledgment, and brushed your lips over his forehead. âi know someone whoâs even more dramatic than seungkwan, yâknow?â you smiled at him, the corner of your lips almost reaching your eyes upon seeing your boyfriendâs adorably confused expression.
god, his big eyes and pouty lips would be the death of you someday.Â
âwho?â he asked, and laid his head against your shoulder.Â
you crooked your eyebrow at him, and shook your head in amusement. âitâs cute how you donât see it. if i had a penny for everytime you were being dramatic iâd be a millionaire now.âÂ
âiâm not-âÂ
âyes you are, baby.âÂ
seungcheol huffed annoyed and peeled himself off you, taking his warmth with him and leaving you shivering like a leaf. he kneeled next to you, and crossed his arms, looking like an angry five year old. cute. âiâm not. give me one instance when i was being dramatic, hm?â.
âi love you so much, choi seungcheol. youâre so adorable.â
if you had to pick your favourite version of your boyfriend the sleepy version would be top three, no questions asked. the hair that was sticking in all possible directions from your scratches, the doe eyes, glossy with sleep looking at you and begging for a hug, strong body that usually made you weak in your knees clad in a cherry pyjamaâŠÂ
all of this, and now him kneeling next to you, insisting on his life that he was not being dramatic.Â
âi love you too, but baby,â he whined, dropping his head to your lap, âiâm not dramatic.âÂ
âsure, then what would you call what youâre doing now?âÂ
your boyfriend shook his head, making an even bigger mess of his hair. âyouâre so mean sometimes,â he said, as he looked up at you. âi donât like it. give me my girlfriend back.âÂ
you rolled your eyes at him. thatâs exactly what you meant - one look from him, and you were already regretting all of the thighs you said.Â
âokay, okay,â you caved in, and maybe that was for the better, because as much as you loved your pouty boyfriend, you appreciated the smile on his face even more. and now with him winning the âargumentâ he probably wouldnât stop smiling even in his sleep.Â
not dramatic my ass.Â
âyouâre such a simp,â he giggled, and threw his whole body back on yours, knocking all air out of your lungs.Â
if you had at least one percent chance of pushing this big koala off you, youâd immediately send him flying, but there was no way you could move more than his little toe. but, there was another deadly weapon you could use against him.Â
âsure, then no cuddles for you tomorrow. and say goodbye to kissing me,â you said, looking him straight in the eye, just to show him how serious you were about it, and with how quickly his smile disappeared from his face, your mission at getting back at your boyfriend was accomplished.Â
âno, no,â he said, gripping your waist tighter, âi was just joking.âÂ
âsure.âÂ
âno, iâm really sorry, i,â seungcheol, now panicking, gently angled your head downwards, so he could reach your lips, âplease donât be mad,â he said and ghosted his soft lips over yours. âif youâre a simp then i donât know what to call myself.âÂ
you rolled your eyes, but⊠well, that was very much true. âjust kiss me, choi seungcheol,â you breathed, and chased his lips as he pulled his head away from you.Â
âunder one condition.âÂ
âhuh?â you asked, dizzy from the need to be even closer to him.Â
âdon't call me that,â he stated, and finally crashed his lips against yours, depriving you from the remains of air that you had.Â
you always joked that cheol had this amazing ability to put you to sleep just by one kiss, and he always argued that that was insane and impossible, but⊠maybe it was the warmth of his arms, maybe it was the safety that his embrace provided, maybe it was his smell that screamed âhomeâ - whatever it was, your joke wasnât that far from the truth.Â
you didnât realise, though, that you seemed to have a similar effect on him, because when you pulled away, your boyfriend's eyes were even sleepier than before, and his permanent pout was poutier than usual.Â
âoh, and thereâs one more thing that happened during practice today,â he yawned, and rubbed his eyes, âsoonyoung and seokmin-,â.
âwhy donât you tell me about it tomorrow?â you kissed his brow, as you felt his head getting heavier and heavier on your shoulder. âletâs sleep for now and talk tomorrow, hm?âÂ
with his last remains of energy seungcheol nodded, and sunk further under the covers, pulling you with him. it didnât seem that he was feeling particularly big-spoony tonight, so you wrapped your arms around his broad shoulders, and kissed the top of his head.Â
ânight, baby,â you whispered into the darkness.

masterlist
jeonghan -
jeonghan had no idea what to do. he'd never been in this position before. he prided himself in being a good friend and specially boyfriend. nothing in this world mattered to him more than his loved ones, which was why he was extremely disappointed in himself at having disregarded you and hurt your feelings in such a careless way. he knew it was your birthday, and he had wanted so badly to be with you, but he had been an idiot and let it slip his mind. there was no other way to put it. it made him sad more than anything, to know that you had spent the night worried over him only to wake up to zero communication from him, having spent a good 14 hours into your birthday without any word from him. he needed to fix this, he just didnt know how.
this was so unlike him. jeonghan had always known himself to be an attentive person. he noticed any time you changed your hair almost immediately, he'd notice new additions to your recipes, he'd take note of any time you switched things up in your apartment, he'd remember any and every important date. even now. he had remembered it, except he had skipped over it due to his idiocy, which really only made it worse.
after getting mocked by joshua for ten minutes as he racked his brain to find a solution, he decided to just improvise. he'd go to your apartment and see if you'd at least let him in to try and explain his way through an apology. he would pull all the dramatics if he had to. there was not a single care for his dignity in his mind right now. nothing would prevent him from showing you his utmost remorse.
only thirty minutes later and he was now outside your apartment window, looking up from his secluded spot inside the complex's garden. he pondered about calling you, but decided that going for a more unconventional route might do the trick a bit better. spotting some pebbles nearby, he grabbed a few, beginning to chuck them at your window. okay, kind of corny, but knowing you, he knew you'd appreciate the thought. he spent an unfortunate ten minutes throwing pebble after pebble until you finally opened your window, sticking your head out as soon as you spotted him down below.
"jeonghan. what the hell are you doing?", you seemed and sounded pissed. but, hey! that was a good sign. at least you were acknowledging his presence.
"my love!', he clutched at his heart, 'let me come see you. please. i want to apologize."
"fuck you, yoon jeonghan. why dont you go treat your hangover somewhere else?", you went to close your window, only to stop in your tracks as he yelled out again.
"wait! do you want me to beg? i will. i love you. i dont care what i have to do. i'll climb to the roof and profess my love for you for all of seoul to hear," yes, he was being overly dramatic, but he was also being genuine. if you actually wanted him to scream out to the world how much he regretted his stupidity, he would. you didnt even have to ask.
but he also knew public displays were a huge no for you, dating an idol and knowing the controversies being known as the significant other of the yoon jeonghan would bring. he was putting you in a bit of a spot. you could either let him up to apologize, or wake up to some ominous article stating yoon jeonghan of seventeen might be taken.
fortunately for him, you chose the former, which now placed him in your living room as you crossed your arms and huffed at him. okay, one step at a time. it was time to put jokes aside and get serious.
"angel ... i'm so sorry," he cooed at you, stepping forward a bit.
"jeonghan, dont talk to me like im a baby. im not in the mood."
"but you are my baby," he pouted at you, "you're my angel, my everything. i'm sorry. i didnt show you how much you mean to me last night. all i want to do is love you and take care of you. you can punish me all you want. i deserve it. but please let me sleep in your arms. im already away from you most of the time. dont deprive me one more day," and he meant all he said. you were his favorite form of comfort, and the thought of you being angry or hurt by him made him scared. he never wanted to risk you being ripped away from his arms, specially not due to his own doing.
"jeonghan ..."
"no, wait. i'm sorry. i shouldve never forgotten. i dont know how it happened. all i ever want to do every day is come back home to you, but i did the opposite on the worst day possible. i'll apologize over and over until you forgive me if that's what it takes. please just let me be with you on your birthday. i dont want you alone. i dont want you sad. i want you happy and content in my arms. please? i love you."
he mustve broken you down, as you landed in his arms immediately after he finished his speech. he couldve sworn he saw you eyes puffy and swollen before he wrapped his arms around you. his suspicion was confirmed just seconds later when he heard you sniffle against him.
"aigooo, no angel. dont cry. didnt wanna make you cry. you're making me look like such a bad guy, baby, making you cry on your birthday," he cooed at you as he held you as tight as possible.
you separated yourself from him, finally looking into his eyes while he caressed your cheeks, wiping any lone tears in them, "im so sorry, angel. forgive me? let me stay, please."
"yes, hannie. i love you."
"i love you so much more," and he'd spend the rest of his life the day showing that to you.
joshua -
joshua had not been this hungover in a while. he wasnt sure how this happened. last thing he remembered was his manager rushing him into a car right after the award show, letting the group know they'd been invited to an after party, and the company had deemed it smart to be in attendance for public image purposes. all members agreed enthusiastically, excited to mingle among their peers and maybe make some new connections in the process. joshua had been the lone member to be skeptical, knowing he had promised he'd be back to the hotel at an appropriate time in order to get on the phone with you and celebrate what was remaining of your birthday with you despite the current distance between you. however, he did not want to get in the way of his members' fun, so he kept any objections to himself and joined them with matching enthusiasm.
his original plan was to roam the party for an hour or so, which wouldve allowed him to get back to call you on time, but ironically, time got away from him. the next thing he knew, he was waking up at 11am in the morning in mingyu's hotel room, head pounding and phone full of unread notifications. he wasnt sure how this happened. the last thing he remembered was being at the party, margarita in hand as he and his members drank their souls away in celebration of yet another successful award show season. it was around three margaritas in that joshua had begun to disregard his phone, and with that you as well. as soon as he saw the dejection in your messages upon waking up, he spammed you with texts and voice memos expressing his regret, but received no response from you. he had hurt you and now you were ignoring him. and with good reason.
joshua knew that there wasnt much he could do from his current location, specially while you were (justifiably) icing him out. so he committed to his next best option. he immediately booked a ticket back to korea, letting his manager know that he'd just be returning home two days in advance to the rest of the members. all they had scheduled left was an interview tomorrow, so his absence would probably not have that big of an effect. five grueling hours later and he arrived to korea, exhausted and still slightly hung over, but with a whole speech planned to beg for your forgiveness.
in the process, he had tried calling you again and again, still earning no response. this disheartened him, making him think that maybe his grand gesture would only be taken negatively. he picked up some flowers on the way, gift he had bought in japan a few days ago in hand, ready to knock on your apartment door. despite the exhaustion, he was here. a day late to celebrate your birthday, but still here nonetheless.
your face upon answering the door had been of surprise, not anger like he feared, but that only lasted for a few seconds until you started to berate him.
"joshua? what are you doing here?"
"baby, i'm so so sorry. can i come in? please?"
you moved aside without further words, gesturing for him to continue talking.
he suddenly remembered the flowers and boxed gift in hand, signaling to them before handing them to you, "oh, these are for you," he felt extremely inadequate, something that was very rare for him. he had practiced a whole speech, a whole profession of love and regret, but now his mind was blank. you just looked so. disappointed. he couldn't stand it.
'i'm sorry. i- i have no good excuse. the party got the best of me and i completely spaced out on our plans. i never meant to forget about you. please believe me.'
"joshua ... this was your idea. you had me waiting all night just to ghost me. you spent my birthday partying without even thinking of me."
he grabbed onto your hands, placing the flowers and gift on the table before doing so. he held onto you as he began to get exasperated in his speech, "there's no world in which i wasn't thinking of you. you're all thats ever on my mind. i didnt even wanna go to that stupid party, but i didnt want to inconvenience anyone. please, i- i wanted to call you. i ... yeah, i got drunk and distracted. and thats my fault. im sorry. i came back early to be with you. to make up for being a dumbass. please let me make it up to you. please? i'll serenade you like i promised. i'll get on my knees. do you want me to get on my-"
you interrupted him as he began to kneel halfway through his speech, slapping at him lightheartedly as he began to get more dramatic by the second. he knew it was hard for you to get angry at him when he started pulling all stops like he did. he came back and begged on his knees, even offered to express his love to you through song. he was making you hold in your laugh. these were all good signs, right?
"you .. you're such an idiot, hong jisoo. i hate you," but he knew you didnt mean it. he could hear and see the smile on your face, knowing he had been successful at wearing you down.
"if you ever do this again, ill date jeonghan instead."
"ouch!", he dramatically grabbed onto his chest, as if you'd just wounded his heart, causing you to laugh, "hannie? okay, can't blame you. he's pretty cute," he chuckled, "but for now ... let me spend the day with my love? hmm?", he pulled you closer, nuzzling his nose against yours as you feigned annoyance at him.
"fine," you rolled your eyes, "i'm still mad at you, though."
yeah, he had a lot of making up to do, but this was a start.
jihoon -
jihoon had not stopped beating himself up over his actions ever since you hung up the phone. he had spent the entirety of the day rethinking all his choices leading up to this. he had wanted to go running to you and apologize, but you had specifically asked him to stay away, so he wanted to respect your wishes. still, he felt like complete and utter shit at the way he disregarded you so easily. he wished he could go back in time and slap some sense into himself.
he had always been scared. scared that his job would someday get in the way of your relationship. it had been so hard for him to find someone to love; someone who loved him just as much. and the moment he found you he treasured you more than anything, but now his stupid workaholic tendencies had gotten in the way. he was terrified right now that you'd start to see the error in your choice to be with him. that you'd want to find someone who wouldnt so easily put his job over everything else.
it was now 11am of the following day, and you had not called him yet. he was beginning to get worried. were you icing him out? had he hurt you that badly? he could never blame you for feeling hurt at his neglect, but he could also not help his own feelings of dejection at you ignoring him due to your anger. alas, he still gave you all reason; this had been his own doing.
he waited a couple hours before giving up on waiting, instead choosing to confide in a few of his members to inquire as to what they'd do if they ever pulled something like this with their own significant others. after being scolded for a good few minutes due to his carelessness towards you, they told him that maybe showing up to your apartment as a demonstration of his affection to you (joined by a sincere apology, of course) would make you look his way again.
so now he was here, about to knock on your door with your favorite flowers in hand. he was terrified. the two of you had never fought. there had never been a single time in which you'd hurt each other's feelings. it had all been nothing but love and tenderness in your relationship thus far. he was your best friend, and you were his. yet he had no idea how to communicate to you how much you meant to him, and how much of a stupid mistake his slip up had been.
before he could think further, he forced himself to knock on your door, hoping you wouldnt immediately throw him out. to his surprise, you opened the door and even wordlessly gestured for him to enter. you looked ... sad. you looked the way he'd feel had you ghosted him on his own birthday. yeah, he didnt care much for his birthday, but your absence would wound him nonetheless. he imagined it felt the same for you.
"i ... i'm so sorry. i dont know what to say .. i- i fucked up. so badly. i have no idea how or why i forgot. there's nothing i can do to make up for it, but please know im so fucking sorry."
"jihoon ... how? you picked my birthday of all days to lock yourself in your studio? i've never judged your busy schedule. i understand your career. i respect it. i get that you cant help being busy. your job is too demanding of your time, but for you to ignore me when you had full control of your free time? why?", he could see how disappointed you felt at his neglect; how hurt you felt at him, not only through your words, but through your closed off body language. you were hugging yourself with your arms, not holding eye contact as you stared anywhere but into his eyes. despite your confident words, your demeanor was deflated. and it was his fault.
"it was- it was a mistake. it was all my fault. i cant argue my way around it. but i love you. i didnt .. i didnt mean to neglect you. you're all i think about. every song ive ever written, even before meeting you, was about you. you're everything. i'm just an idiot. i dont know how to do this ... ive never loved like this. i have no idea what to do when i fuck up. all i can do is promise you to be better. please give me a chance to be better. i'll be more attentive. i know i'm cold, and im not too affectionate, but i love you. i'll make it up to you. please, just dont let this be the end. i'll keep you in my studio with me whenever i lock myself away. won't ever go a day without letting you know what im doing, how im doing. please. i'll do anything to show you."
he worried his ramble mightve been too much, feeling to scared to even hold eye contact with you as he went on and on about how much he loved you. unexpectedly, upon looking up, he found your reddened eyes, with a stuffy nose to match. fuck. had he hurt your feelings again?
"jihoon ... i- i love you. i'm sorry. i cant believe you could ever think i wanted this to be the end. i was hurt and mad- i am hurt, but i love you," you sniffled your way through your short speech, but jihoon heard it perfectly fine. these were the words he prayed to hear from you all of last night as he stayed up thinking about you.
"fuck. thank god," he couldnt help himself in hugging you, holding you tightly against his arms, and sighing in relief at your reciprocation, "i love you. i'll take the week off. let me take you away and show you how much you mean to me. please? will you come with me?"
"yes, jihoon. i love you."
"i love you. you have no idea."
seokmin -
seokmin felt extremely scared. you weren't answering any of his calls. he knew you were physically okay, but he also knew your feelings were hurt, and you were probably extremely angry at him. you had all reason to be angry at him. he ditched you and kept you in the dark all day. on your birthday! seokmin had never been in a situation like this before. he had always prided himself in being the best boyfriend that one could ever be, even sometimes introducing himself as your boyfriend instead of with his own name. except today he had disappointed both you and himself beyond belief.
he knew you'd asked him to stay away for the night, and he'd usually respect your one and every wish, but today he needed to go against the current and go and beg for your forgiveness.
in very non-seokmin fashion, he exited the event just as quickly as he'd arrived, not even caring to say goodbye to his friends. you were his number one priority, after all. specially today of all days. he had his driver stop by a flower shop on the way, hoping the innocent gesture would maybe have you show some mercy on his stupidity.
he showed up to your apartment immediately after, having mentally prepared a whole speech for you on the way there. he was going to tell you how much he loved you, and how this was just a completely stupid slip of his mind, that this would never happen again, but all these thoughts left his mind as soon as you opened the door, eyes swollen and glossy. every rational thought went out the window upon spotting your saddened state causing seokmin's eyes to match your own as he felt himself begin to tear up. he couldnt help himself in immediately embracing you in a tight hug, thanking god when he felt you hold him back.
you two sniffled against each other for a bit, neither of you full on crying, but still being overly emotional at the situation. seokmin mumbled endless apologies against your hair, running his hands up and down your back as if to soothe you. he was over the moon to hear an 'i love you' from you in the middle of your sorrowful mumbles against his chest, doubling the sentiment as he cried to you how much he loved you and how badly he regretted letting you slip his mind for even a second. when he pulled back, he expressed the same sentiment all over again.
"my baby ... i love you so much. please let me make it up to you. i- i brought you flowers!", he finally recalled the flowers he had dropped as soon as you closed the door behind him ten minutes ago, "i know it doesnt make up for anything, but please let it be a start. i'll do anything you want. just want you to never cry over me like this again, baby. i love you too much to make you cry," he wiped at your tears as he said this, caressing your cheeks while he looked at you with pure adoration in his eyes.
"minnie," you pouted at him, "stay the night? please? want you at least for the bit that's left of today."
"today? oh, baby. i'm giving you my whole week. told you i was gonna make it up to you. i'll do everything you want, my love. now let me take you to bed, yeah? wanna hold my beautiful angel to sleep."
he slept soundly that night, knowing you had somehow forgiven him and even given him the privilege to hold you in his sleep, also knowing he'd do anything and everything necessary to make up for his stupid mistake.
seungkwan -
he had put literally everyone else above you. on your birthday. there was truly no other way to spin it. he had never felt more guilt in his life, and it was all completely on him. having even thought of going out with his friends on your birthday shouldve given him the first red flag in his stupid plan. why didnt he just bring you along? god, he was such an idiot. and then allowing mingyu and dongmin to entice him into a two hour long live broadcast just to secure some fanservice was just the nail in the coffin.
he knew he hurt you badly. he had promised you he'd be there, but had just left you in the dark all day. he couldnt blame you for not wanting to see him today, but now he was stuck tossing and turning in his bed as he itched to hold you in his arms. he had called the company immediately after your call, letting them know he'd be skipping the usual dance practice and recordings in favor of being with you, which is what he should've done all day today.
it wasnt long until he grew too restless to simply stay in bed while he knew you were probably in a similar position, except most likely sad and angry. he couldnt help himself when he decided to head to you, feeling bad at calling up his driver at such late hours of the night. the journey to your apartment was a short one, which left him with little time to think over what he'd say to you in order to convey his regret. he didnt care much for what he said, he just wanted to alleviate your hurt somehow.
just as he expected, you were awake, now standing in front of him as you opened the door to your apartment. your eyes were puffy, a huge indicator that you'd been crying. your eyes also wouldnt meet his, with your eyebrows lowered in clear sadness. seeing you and knowing your current state was his fault felt like a kick in the gut. he had never made you cry before, so he was extremely disappointed in himself. worst of all, seeing you cry made him start to tear up a bit himself.
"baby ..."
"what do you want, kwan? i thought you were busy all day," your words carried venom behind them, but your delivery was still of someone who had been hurt.
"no, baby. you know that's not true. i'm never too busy for you. i'm so sorry. i was such an idiot. there arent enough apologies i could give you. i- i never meant to hurt your feelings."
"you still did."
"i ... i know. i'm sorry. i love you. the last thing i ever want is for you to be hurt by me. i never shouldve gone out with my friends to begin with. you're too understanding of my busy schedule, and i dont deserve it. i shouldve made time all day for you today."
"was ... was it that important? being gone today specifically?", you seemed insecure in your question, which only made seungkwan's heart soar at making you feel insecure around him in any way.
"no! no, of course not. i wasnt thinking. i shouldve told them id go with them next time, or taken you with me! i was so stupid, i'm sorry. you're my priority. i need you to know that."
"it's- it's fine, kwannie. i understand. you dont see your friends that often, you-"
"no! stop. dont try to rationalize it. i made a mistake. you dont have to cover for me. i hurt you and i made you feel unimportant when you're the most important person to me. im so sorry. please never doubt that. i get you all to myself so little, and staying away from you was such a stupid mistake."
more tears had started flowing down your cheeks the further the conversation went on. he wasnt sure if it was because you were touched by his words, or because he was failing at making you feel better. as he neared you enough to wipe your tears with his thumbs, he hoped it was the former.
"baby .. don't cry over me. please. i'm just an idiot. you should never cry over me. i only ever want you to feel good things when thinking of me. i- im so sorry."
"kwannie ... i love you. i understand. i know you dont want me to understand, but i do. you have to make your choices when you're as busy as you are, and .. even though it did make me feel unimportant, i get it."
"it'll never happen again. i'll- i'll keep you by my side day and night. let me- please let me keep you to myself tomorrow. just wanna be with you. please?"
for the first time in the night, he saw you shoot him a small smile, uttering the words he wanted to hear most, "yes, kwannie. will you .. will you stay? please"
"you don't even have to ask."
a/n: thank u to everyone who enjoyed this lil series aaaa i hope it was realistic enough T-T sorry if the reconciliation seemed rushed, i just didnt want any of them to end up with an angsty ending hehe also sorry for seokmin's being shorter than anyone's i just cannot imagine that man ever hurting anyone's feelings.
đȘ svt when they don't open the door for you when you knock

Seungcheol â immediately stands up when he hears just the keys jingling at the door. He runs to reach it before you turn the knob but heâs too late.
But before you could even start complaining, before you could even glare at him, Cheol immediately embraces you and says âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry I didnât hear your knocks, I have no excuse.â
In this instance, all his pouts are not to annoy you, but to beg you to get rid of your annoyance at him. So try as you might to stay annoyed at him, how could you when heâs got you locked safe in the embrace of his strong and secure arms?
(iâm sorry cheolâs is so short becauseâŠâŠ..i think this is the most accurate i can get him honestly itâs just really straightforward like this for him)
Jeonghan â immediately walks out of your shared room to greet you as soon as he hears the door open.
âYouâre homeââ he says with arms outstretched, but you cut him off instantly.
âWhy didnât you open the door for me?â He stays silent, a questioning look on his face. âI knocked so many times, but you know we canât knock too loudly right? I was waiting for you to open the door, but you didnât.â
You roll your eyes and steam off to your room, sidestepping him and his efforts to talk to you. When you emerge and settle on the couch, he sits beside you but at a slight distance because he knew better than to keep pressing when you were like this.
When he sees that your breathing started to regulate and your expression seemed to neutralize, thatâs when he reaches for your hand and laces his fingers in yours. âHow was your day, my angel?â
You just look at him. He persists, kissing the back of your intertwined hand. âCome here, I know you need a hug.â
Reluctantly, you lower your pride and scoot closer to him, settling on his chest. âNow, whatâs bothering my angel? I know itâs more than just the door, and Iâm really sorry that hurt you. But itâs more than the door, isnât it? How are you really?â
You fight back tears because you know heâs right. It just wasn't your day and nothing went well, and you feel so bad that you projected your unnecessary anger at him.
You hug him tighter and mumble out an âIâm sorry Hannie,â to which he replies, âIâm sorry too, itâs okay. Hannie is here to listen, Iâm here.â
Joshua â doesnât realize his mistake at first and greets you like normal: with a smile, a hug, and a kiss on the cheek. He quickly realizes that something was off when you donât return the said hug and kiss as enthusiastically as you usually do, and your smile doesnât quite reach your eyes. When you only gave one word replies to him asking how your day was, alarms flare in his head.
He stops whatever heâs doing and does the same to you, taking the few groceries you were packing away from your hands and replacing them with his. he looks you in the eye, the alarm and guilt so palpable in his.
âIâm sorry,â he immediately prefaces. âWhat did I do? Or what did I not do? Iâm so, so sorry.â
At his apologies, you started feeling bad as you saw him so helpless, but you also couldnât hold back the whining tone from your voice as you said, âYou knew I went to get some groceries. Why didnât you open the door?â You feel bad, yes, but youâre also still annoyed.
He sighs in realization and frustration, before he looks back to you and caresses your cheek, then wordlessly pulls you into his chest. He strokes your head and smooths down your hair, a gesture that never fails to comfort you.
âIâm sorry, love. Iâm really sorry. I really didnât hear the door, I promise I didnât mean to.â You stay like that for a while, just holding each other before he breaks away, saying heâll be right back. When he emerges from your room, he had a light jacket on to cover his tank top.
âLetâs go.â
âWhat?â
âFor a walk. And a snack. And because I know something else is bothering that pretty head of yours,â he says with a kiss to your forehead. âReally tell me about your day, love. I want to hear all about it.â
Junhui â plays along with your annoyed air at first, mocking your tone whenever you said âWhy didnât you open the door?â with his own mischievous smile.
When he saw that you didnât just glare at him once or twiceâit was five times to be exactâhe slowly tones down, then fully stops when you stay silent. Thatâs when he realizes how seriously annoyed you were at this miss.
He isnât very physically and verbally expressive of his love, but he wordlessly proceeds to set the dining table for you the moment you sat there, cautious of how you were going to react. When he was done, he sat down with you, stealing glances at you as you proceeded with dinner. When you asked if he had eaten, he shook his head silently.
As some time passed and there was a slight lull while you were eating, he grabs your hand and looks you in the eye with intent and remorse. âI'm sorry I didnât open the door for you. Iâll be way more attentive next time.â
For the first time since you arrived, the frown on your face melted because here was Junhui so straightforward and affectionate when he rarely was. The moment he saw that smile on your lips, he leaned in to kiss it. âThereâs my favorite smile.â
Soonyoung â at a loss for words as to how to make it up to you. But because it was Soonyoung, you couldnât really stay annoyed at him for so long. After all, that was the first time it happened and he just happened to catch you on a bad day too, and you see that it never happened again.
But you also saw thereâs more to it than that. Since then, he proceeds to open literally anything for you, from bedroom and car doors, to jars and cereal boxes, even the TV at one point, grabbing the remote from your hand and doing a simple push of a button for you.
He only stops when you ask him âSoonyoungie, I know how unbelievably sweet it is for you to open these things for me, but are you still doing this because of what happened before?â
He just looked at you and pursed his lips. He really didnât want to make you feel anything negative, especially when he was the cause of it. He wordlessly gave you a sullen nod.
You melt at this and pull him in for a hug, repeatedly reassuring him that you werenât annoyed at him anymore and that he could stop. Well, he didnât completely stop, he realized that it was no big deal to do even the smallest things for you.
Wonwoo â was always busy with his games whenever you knock at your door and no one answers. You were pretty used to it, in fact. It wasnât everyday, but it happened often. On those days, you just go to him and kiss his forehead. Most times, he immediately stops the game and dedicates his time to you.
But that doesnât mean that it doesnât make you a bit sad everytime he fails to greet you at the door. So when a time came that this happened for how many days straight, your sadness turned into frustration and then annoyance.
It reached its peak when he was so engrossed with whatever he was playing that he didnât even look to you when you arrived, didnât even greet you. You scoff, but it fell to deaf ears inside his gaming headset. You walk out and busy yourself with something, anything besides him. When he does finally come out, he greets you, but is given the cold shoulder. He notices it right away.
âLove?â Silence. âBaby?â More silence. He attempts to hold your hand, but you pull it away. Oh shit. He tries again, inching closer to try and hug you, but his advances are rejected as you move away from him.
He sighs with defeat, knowing that he wonât get anywhere when youâre like this. So the evening passed in silence. When you two were finally getting ready for bed, you try to find sanctuary under the covers for the hurt in your heart. You try to sleep, but it wouldnât come. You feel Wonwooâs side dip with his weight, and when he settled down, he finally got the chance to wrap you in a hug.
âTalk to me. Please. I think I know what this is about, so just talk to me. I know we wonât be able to sleep without fixing this problem. Please.â
You cave and face him, tears threatening to fall from your eyes. And he realizes how grave his mistake was.
Since then, he always came running to the door at the first few knocks, greeting you with a tight hug and a soft forehead kiss. You wonder how, and you find out that the sounds from his games were a little too loud whenever you arrived.
âWonwoo-ya! Where were you? How could you abandon us to die?â You peek into his gaming room and hear frustrated voices coming from the speakers.
âSorry! I had to attend to more important things,â he speaks into his mic with a wink toward your direction.
Jihoon â was a homebody, and always answered the door without fail. That is, whenever he was home before you were, which was a rare occurrence. It was a different story for his perpetually locked studio. He never answered the door for anyone, not even you. So as long as he was inside and could unlock the door remotely, you entered quietly to not disturb his artistic process.
There was one rule, most especially applicable to him, and that rule is no work was to be brought home. He rarely took breaks anymore when at the office and in the studio, so home was a place for rest.
He followed the said rule religiously, until you experienced unanswered knocks similar to how he is in the studio. For the past few days when you open the door, you see him slumped over his desk with work, samples streaming from the speakers or strewn paper filled with various lyrics.
For the nth consecutive time this happens, you were fed up with him. Your efforts at knocking to get his attention proved futile, so you called. He answered on the second ring.
âJihoon-ah. Iâve been knocking for 10 minutes. Why arenât you answering?â
You were greeted at the door by a breathless Jihoon, confused and slightly annoyed, asking you âWhy didnât you just open the door?â
That did it for you. âBecause weâre not at your studio, Jihoon. Weâre supposed to be at home.â You pushed past him in frustration, and his actions slowly dawned on him.
The next day, you wake to a soft kiss on your forehead and a whispered âI love youâ before Jihoon left for work. Your annoyance has mostly died down, but it was replaced by a pang of sadness, that was quickly replaced by shock when you exited your room and saw what was on the table.
It was a bouquet of delicate flowers in your favorite color, nothing grand, but something well thought of. You notice something glinting tied around the stems. It was a key. On the table was a note: âI will open all the doors for you, and leave them open for you and only you. Even the door to the studio will be unlocked for you. Iâm sorry. - Your Jiâ
Minghao â doesnât immediately understand what the big deal is about.
"Itâs just a door."
Thatâs what you hear him say when he finally asks why youâve been annoyed and cold the moment you stepped into the apartment.
âItâs not just a door, Minghao!â
âYou donât hear me say the same thing when you donât open the door for me, do you?â
âBut I apologize after! Itâs like you donât even care!â
âI care, but itâs just not a big deal for me.â
âWell then if itâs not a big deal, why couldnât you do something so simple?â
âI didnât mean to not hear you knocking! I just happened to be preoccupied then!â
âWow, so you were too preoccupied to even greet me? To apologize to me?â
It was a bad day for both of you, and you ended up fighting fire with fire, bringing up even unrelated issues from past and present, until one of you reached your tipping point, all from a simple gesture not done.
At that tipping point, he is rendered silent. âPause. I canât do this.â
You nod. âPause.â
After a few moments, he speaks again. âIâm sorry. You know how blunt I can be. I didnât see right away that itâs not what you need right now.â
You nod. âIâm sorry. Itâs really not my day. I just couldnât understand how you could say that as if itâs nothing.â
He initiates contact, reaching for your hands and circling them around his waist, and you effortlessly lean into the embrace he forms around you. He presses a soft kiss on the crown of your head. His lips stay there when you hear him say, "It's not nothing. It's never nothing with you."
âThen please just open the door next time?â
He lightly chuckles, and you feel his chest move with it. âIt really is just a door. But okay, Iâll make sure to always open it for you.â
Mingyu â always opens the door for you. No contest.
But on the rare occasion that he misses to do so, and he caught you on a bad day at that, he just stands there like a helpless puppy as the gravity of his actions sinks in. Whether you say your choice words, or with no words at all, he will know what he did wrong right away.
You storm into your room and he quickly follows, but your body language made it clear that you didnât want to be disturbed. Despite his height, you easily sidestepped him as you made your way into the bathroom to shower.
Mingyu was standing by the door of the bathroom when you finished. You tried sidestepping him again, but he stood his ground this time, catching you in his embrace, rubbing your back, then kneading your temples. He led you back to your room, helping you dress up, dry your hair, massages your hands. While you do your skincare, he combs your hair straight and with no tangles. When youâre done and you stop to look at each other in the mirror, he hugs you from behind, and you allow him to do so.
âIâm sorry, baby. Iâm sorry. I wonât do it again, I wonât.â He buries his face in the crook of your neck and doesnât let go until you finally give him a kiss on the cheek, one that was denied from him when you arrived. You tried really hard to stay annoyed at Mingyu, but you canât, you just canât.
So he always opens the door for you, without fail. Heâd rather see your endless smiles if it meant doing something as simple as this.
Seokmin â you knock at the door, knowing Seokmin is inside because you can hear him busy inside. It isnât as usual for him to be home earlier than you because it was usually the other way around, so when he doesnât open the door for you, your annoyance slowly grew with every knock.
You were just so tired and couldnât wait to lie down but he couldnât even open the door for you? You fumble with your keys, even dropping it in frustration, and he still didnât hear you.
When you finally open the door, you hear music playing from the speakers and you can smell somethingâŠoff. A panicked yelp confirms that yes, indeed, something is wrong, and you follow the scent to the kitchen, where you see Seokmin trying to save what was left of his bowlâs contents.
âSeokminnie, are you okay? What happened?â
His alarmed eyes met yours and were soon filled with disappointment. âYouâre here. I didnât even hear you come in. Iâm sorry, IâŠI was just trying to make you something because I know youâre tired with all those messages you sent me and it was just the right timing that I could leave work early so I rushed home and then this happened andââ
You canât believe you had the gall to be annoyed at him when he was the sweetest, most thoughtful man on earth. You take the bowl from his hands and hug him, resting your head on his beating heart. He molds himself into you and wraps you in his arms.
âI love you, Minnie.â
He kisses the crown of your head and rests his chin there while rubbing your back reassuringly. âI love you too. You can rest now, Iâll take care of this. Donât worry.â
Seungkwan â you were so ready to be petty and annoyed, you already had choice words in mind because you think this was payback for all the times you absentmindedly did the same to him, how he was left stewing but you secretly always took this chance to placate and soothe him because you knew he liked it when you fussed over him.
Nonetheless, you tried to be as obnoxious as possible while fumbling with your keys and opening the door. Seeing the back of his head leaned on the couch, you couldnât even believe that he didnât turn his head to you until you stood in front of him and was immediately silenced.
Seungkwan was fast asleep, deeply asleep that your noise didnât even wake him. You slowly backtracked and remembered what his day was like today, how it was packed to the brim with schedules from one place to another, and you felt guilty as hell.
As quietly as you could, you brush his hair away from his face. You overestimated how deep his sleep was though, because his eyes flow open the moment he felt your touch.
âWhaâyouâre home!â He grabs your hand and looks at you with sleepy eyes that closed again when he realized that âAh no, I fell asleep. I was trying to wait for you butââ
You shushed him at that moment and said it was okay because this tired sleepyhead needs to rest already. You pull him up from the couch, where he wordlessly fixed himself against your side and kissed the side of your head as you walked into your shared room so you could tuck him in properly.
Vernon â was watching a movie and was so fixated on it that he didnt even notice you were in until you opened the light.
âOhâoh! Youre home!â He scrambles to pause the movie and brisk walk straight to you for a tight hug, even swaying slightly side to side. When he breaks apart and sees the slight frown on your face (that you quickly assembled after it got wiped away with that damn heartwarming hug), he tilts his head to the side.
âI know that face. What did I do? Is it because I didnât open the door?â He widens his eyes in acknowledgment as it clicks in his head and lets out a defeated smile.
âIâm sorryâ and while he still had you in his clutches, he kisses your nose.
âIâm sorry,â and a kiss on your cheek, another apology with another kiss to your other cheek, your forehead, your lips, your eyes, until you're smothered with his kisses.
He doesnât stop until you were pushing him away, but he achieved his goal of making you smile. âAre you still annoyed? Iâm not stopping,â He says, returning your smile with your favorite gummy smile of his.
âNo, okay, stop! Iâm okay. Iâm not annoyed anymoreâŠbut donât do it again.â
âGot it,â with one final kiss, a deeper one on your lips. When you both come up for air, he follows it up with âCome on, what do you wanna watch?â
Chan â apologized as profusely as he could after seeing your annoyed face, hugging and kissing and never letting you leave his embrace until you finally said you werenât annoyed anymore.
You let it go then, but youâre still a bit petty, and decided to do an Uno Reverse on him when the opportunity presented itself. You acted as nonchalant as possible when you heard him struggle with his keys, open the door, and finally face you from where you were seated.
When you look up from the book you were reading, you tried to act as surprised as you could. âOh, Channie! Youâre home.â You could see a sheen of annoyance masking his face, one he was trying to keep down.
âDidnât you hear me knocking?â
ââŠNo, sorry. I guess I was too into this book. Iâm sorry Channie,â you say with the best pout you could muster.
You see his eyes narrow ever so slightly, before he smiles and leans down to kiss your forehead. âItâs okay, baby.â He wordlessly settles down beside you on the couch and pulls you in to cuddle and hold you tight.
You were dumbstruck to say the least. He wasnâtâŠannoyed? âYouâre not annoyed at me?â
He pulls you in closer, nuzzling his cheek against yours before saying âNo,â followed by a kiss to your cheek. âBut I know you still are. And Iâm really sorry. So Iâll just hold you tight until this hurt goes away.â
Your heart swells with pride at how he instantly saw through your seemingly tough facade. You melt against him, all sign of annoyance gone from you as you whisper a âThank you, Chan.â
[a/n] and this is where i leave you. see you guys when and if i come back. âđ»
"stop sulking," jeonghan chides as he puts a party hat on your head, "it's our child's birthday."
you've been in a sour mood the entire day and he doesn't know why so he decides the best thing he can do is to leave you alone and continues setting up the dining table by himself for the celebration.
"dinner's ready," he announces before disappearing into the bedroom and you watch him come back out with doljjong on his palm and places it down carefully at the end of the table with its own mini party hat sitting on top of it.
you sit opposite jeonghan to eat your meal in uncomfortable silence and he glances at you warily every few seconds, unsure of whether he should risk asking you what was wrong. before he even gets a chance to though, you get up and mumble that you're full then retreats into the bedroom after cleaning up your dishes.
jeonghan enters the room after you a few minutes later, telling you it's time for the family photo. you pretend not to hear him then you hear his footsteps as he shuffles closer to the bed.
"baby," you feel the bed dipping under his weight when he sits down. "what's wrong? you've been upset all day today."
all he got in return was silence.
he shifts closer to you and rests a hand on your arm, "talk to me please? i won't know what's wrong if you don't tell me."
"what's today's date?" the annoyance and bitterness is clear from your voice.
"come on, you don't remember the date of doljjong's birthday?" he asks in a joking manner, hoping to lighten up the tense mood.
you turn to look at him and he can see that you obviously weren't amused. there's an indescribable look on your face and he can't tell if it's anger or sadness, maybe both with a sprinkle of disappointment.
"it was our anniversary yesterday, jeonghan." you glare at him, "do you remember that?"
jeonghan mutters a small "shit" under his breath and then he's immediately apologising over and over.
"i would tell you to forget it but it seems like you already have."
"baby," jeonghan crawls closer to you and grabs you by the elbow to pull you back down when you attempt to get out of the bed. "i'm really sorry, i didn't mean to forget."
"but you have no problem remembering the birthday of a rock."
jeonghan sighs behind you, "come on now. don't take your anger out on doljjong or you'll regret being a bad parent someday."
your head spins around so quickly at his words you thought you'd get whiplash.
"i'm the bad parent?" jeonghan jerks back slightly from your loud voice. "imagine your child finding out its own dad doesn't even remember his own anniversary."
jeonghan lets out a whine of protest then tugs on your hand, "baby, please don't tell doljjong. i don't want it to have a bad impression of me as a dad."
"so you're okay with me having a bad impression of you as a boyfriend?" you retort. "or with me believing i'm less important than a rock?"
"of course not, that's the last thing i would ever want." you hear his voice directly in your ear as he rests his chin on your shoulder.
you hum halfheartedly in response.
"i promise i'll remember it next year," he kisses your cheek softly.
you shrug him off you then gets up to walk to the door. "maybe i'd have already dumped you by then," you tell him nonchalantly without sparing him a glance.
jeonghan's eyes widen as he rushes towards you, "take that back!' he tackles you to the floor and traps you under his body when you ignore him, "we're staying here until you take that back."
"you'll get tired or have to use the bathroom eventually."
he stares you in the eyes and there's a look of determination on his face, "no, i won't."
you try tickling him to get him off you but he chuckles when he sees your frustration at him not being ticklish.
his laughter dies down and suddenly there's an unreadable look on his face and his voice is serious when he asks you, "you don't actually mean that, right?"
you ignore his question and tries to wiggle out from underneath him.
"baby," he whines. "you don't mean that do you?"
"no, i don't," you tell him with a heavy sigh before finally relenting, "i take what i said back."
you watch as the cheeky smile he almost always has returns to his face.
"you're never getting rid of me," he tells you before finally getting up, "but i just might break up with you if you keep referring to our child as a rock."
this time it's your turn to tackle him to the floor.
he lays on the couch with one of his arms covering his eyes and the other splayed behind his head. three pillows are stacked up beneath his head and his snores softly fill up the room.
the route towards him is easy. even in your tired and drowsy state, you have the map of your home marked in your head. you toss your bag on the beanbag and walk towards his sleeping figure.
you walk around the coffee table, mahogany wood grazing your shin as you barely miss it. you don't bother to undo your clothes and lay down on him.
a sigh leaves your lips at the warmth and comfort of his body, exactly what you deserved at the end of a long day. he wraps his arm around you like muscle memory and pushes you further into his embrace.
your limbs tangle together awkwardly, and your body is constricted by the limited space but that doesn't stop the bliss of rest seeping into your bones.
his breath tickles your hair, and he stirs in his sleep. âhoney,â his deep voice echoes through his chest to your ears and you simply hum. âlet's move you to the bed.â he says but you don't move and fall into the spiral of sleep again.
your eyes are forced open when you feel yourself lift off air. clinging to him for support, you lean on his shoulders and let him carry you to your shared bedroom. he kisses your forehead and breathes in your scent.
you don't register anything but his warmth on your skin and the softness to his touches when he undresses you and gets you in comfortable clothes. his scent embedded in the pillows pull you further into slumber.
the night darkens and the moon shines a lonesome glow that you cannot understand. how could you? you've got seungcheol sharing his breaths with you as he holds you in his sleep. even in his unconsciousness his hand finds yours and you move closer to him.
the sky may have thousands of stars and the moon but you have seungcheol and that knowledge is more than enough to fall asleep to.
a/n: this is so long and took way too long iâm sorry T-T
seungcheol
seungcheol was used to arriving home from work and having you at the door to greet him with a kiss.
when you werenât in your usual spot he walked over to the couch, seeing you watching tv and figured that you had lost track of time.
âhi baby, i missed you,â he announced his presence, leaving over you to catch your lips in a kiss.
when you turned your head to the side and he felt his lips catch your cheek instead he pulled back and gave you a funny look.
âsomething wrong?â he questioned quickly, you had never rejected his kisses before.
you looked up at him and shook your head, âno, iâm just trying to watch my show, cheolie,â you replied, trying to look around his frame that was blocking your view of the tv.
he narrowed his eyes at you, you didnât sound upset but he was sure you could be a good actor. his mind started running with the possibilities of why you could be mad at him today.
it was usually silly reasons: he accidentally left the toilet seat up, he didnât wake you up before he left the house, etc, etc.
but he hadnât done anything today.
âokayâŠâ he mumbled, leaning back down and attempting to kiss you again.
when you turned your head to the side again he sighed and sat down on the couch next to you, pulling you into his lap.
âyou donât like kissing me anymore?â he questioned, âwhat happened to the person who would whine all day if i didnât kiss them? huh?â he prodded, reaching a hand up and smushing your cheeks together.
at this point you bursted out laughing and wrapped your hands around seunghcheolâs wrist, âitâs a prank! iâm sorry,â you exclaimed, seeing how his fear turned into fake annoyance at your confession.
he rolled his eyes and leaned in once more, finally catching your lips while you were still giggling. he planted a firm kiss against your lips and then nodded in satisfaction.
âyouâre ridiculous, you know that?â he said, secretly finding joy in the fact that you found the situation so amusing.
he loved seeing you happy, even if it was at his own expense.
jeonghan
you were sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast when jeonghan finally graced you with his presence. you knew he needed his sleep so you never woke him up when you got up.
âmorning, angel, howâd you sleep?â he asked, making his way to you and leaning down while puckering his lips, ready for his kiss.
you smiled at him and continued eating, âit was good, you?â you asked back, ignoring his lips and opting for the eggs that were on your plate instead.
jeonghan narrowed his eyes and threw his hands up with a sigh, âyou hate me, donât you?â he asked dramatically, âyou think i have cooties and you never want to kiss me again? i bet you want to break up with me, donât you? because iâm so repulsive?â he fires dramatic question after question, only leaving you entirely flabbergasted.
while you opened your mouth trying to think of a response he crossed his arms, looking at you and awaiting your answers to his questions.
âif you kiss me ill forget this happened and go back to normal,â he decided to add, seeing that you couldnât come up with an answer.
âsure,â you replied easily, not knowing how else to reply to his spitfire questions. you stood up from your seat and placed your hand on his shoulder, pressing a sweet kiss on his lips.
he instinctively wrapped one arm around your waist and kept you there for a second longer, âthis is why you canât try and prank me, it always goes my way in the end,â he said with a smirk, releasing you and delving further in the kitchen to find something to eat.
his words only left you stunned, âyou knew what i was doing?â you called over to him.
âof course i did, did you forget who youâre dating?â he asked back, shooting you a cocky grin while you plopped back into your seat with a sigh. it was impossible to pull one over on him.
joshua
joshua was about to leave to go meetup with his band members for dinner while you stayed at home for the night.
you walked him to the door to see him before he left.
âiâll be back later, donât wait up, okay?â he made to clarify, knowing that nights with his friends usually went long into the hours of the a.m. and he didnât want you staying up late for him.
you hummed at his words and nodded your head, knowing you would probably stay up for him anyways, âhave a nice night, tell the guys i say hi,â you said with a smile, becoming close with joshuaâs friends as your relationship progressed.
âi will, i love you,â he made sure to add, grabbing your chin and moving in to plant a kiss on your lips.
when he felt your resistance to his kiss he pulled back and gave you a funny look, âany reason you wonât kiss me?â he asked skeptically.
ânope, i love you too,â you replied, trying to play it off innocently.
he nodded his head slowly, his fingers still on your chin. he moved back in to kiss you again and when he felt the same resistance he gave you a pointed look.
âif you have a real reason for not kissing me, tell me and weâll talk about it. if you donât, stop playing around and kiss me so i can leave.â he said simply, leaving no room for argument and coming up with a solution.
you noticed that he was using his serious voice and you nodded slowly, finally letting him kiss you without putting up a fight.
he let his kiss linger a little longer than usual, likely because of the game that you were playing with him. the way he kissed you made you forget what you were even doing in the first place and when he pulled away he could tell that much from your face.
he pulled back with a smirk and kissed the top of your head, âiâll be back, donât miss me too much,â he teased, leaving you to give him a small nod as you watched him walk out the door.
prank totally failed.
jun
âare we okay? or are you playing with me?â jun questioned, noticing how you were physically dodging all his attempts to give you a peck on the lips.
you couldnât help but grin at the cute pout on his face, not being able to play it off like it was a normal occurrence.
you were standing on one side of the couch while jun was standing on the other, both of you looked like you were prepared to run. jun was ready to bolt towards you and you were ready to get away from him.
though both of you had a smile on your face, you werenât dodging him for a serious reason and he could tell.
âi donât know what youâre talking about,â you said with a little giggle, moving in the opposite direction that jun was going whenever he moved towards you.
he thankfully realized that you werenât actually mad at him and then decided he needed to take matters into his own hands.
jun jumped onto the couch and reached over to grab you, locking you in his arms while you burst out laughing, not being able to contain yourself.
âcâmon! give me a kiss, my breath smells good! i brushed! see?â he exclaimed loudly, opening his mouth wide for you to look, which only made you laugh harder.
you clutched your sides as you laughed, your sudden movement making the two of you lose any balance you previously had and you both went tumbling to the ground in each others arms.
junâs arms were still locked around you, the two of you laying side by side on the hardwood floor. you both slowly looked at each other and smiled, a little sheepishly.
âyou saw, right? my clean teeth?â jun spoke up first, still stuck on the fact that he was missing out on a kiss from you.
you couldnât deny him now and you nodded, âyes, hun, i saw,â you replied, finally pressing a kiss on his lips to stop this whole debacle.
you could feel him smiling against your lips which only made you smile right back.
âi win!â he shouted when you pulled away, pumping his fists in the air. though, he wasnât sure what game you were playing, a kiss from you always felt like a win to him.
soonyoung
soonyoungâs face was scrunched up, his lips drawn in a straight line and his eyebrows pulled in towards each other. it was his âdeep in thought faceâ.
he was intently scrolling on his phone, furiously typing, scrolling a bit, then shaking his head. he repeated the steps multiple times, sighing at each dead end.
you sat next to him, watching tv as he completed whatever mission he had on his phone.
you had decided to avoid his kisses all day after seeing a video of someone else doing the same thing to their boyfriend online. though soonyoung didnât seem too worried about it, at least thatâs what you thought.
âdo you prefer a casual relationship without emotional intimacy?â soonyoung asked out of the blue, setting his phone on his lap and looking at you.
his words caught you off guard and all you could do was look at him in shock. he took your lack of an answer as a yes and frowned. he nodded to himself and took your hands in his, his face as serious as ever.
âitâs okay if thatâs how you feel, you can tell me and we can work things out, right?â he suggested, his voice sounded optimistic but his face told you all you needed to know, he looked like he was near tears.
you quickly shook your head when the shock wore off and pulled your hands from his, opting to cup his cheeks instead as you looked at him.
âwhere did you get that silly idea from?â you asked, running your thumbs over his cheeks, his frown still present on his face.
âwikihowâŠâ he mumbled, picking up his phone and showing it to you.
you choked on a laugh at his reply and took his phone from his hands, looking at the open tab.
â10 reasons why your partner wonât kiss youâ
you went to his search history and finally found out what all the scrolling and tapping on his phone was about.
âwhy wonât my partner kiss meâ
âwhat to do when my partner wonât kiss meâ
âhow to tell if my partner doesnât like me anymoreâ
âhow to be a better boyfriendâ
you threw his phone on the couch and immediately pulled him closer to you, wrapping your arms around him and cradling him to your chest.
âhoney, iâm sorry,â you said softly, he mustâve been sad and stressed all day because of some stupid prank that you tried to pull on him, âi was just trying to prank you, itâs stupid,â you mumbled, holding him tight.
soonyoung looked at you with wide eyes, his frown now turned into a small pout, âyou donât want to break up?â he asked softly, his puppy dog eyes in full swing.
âof course not! iâm sorry for making you worry,â you apologized, making sure you were absolutely clear about your love for him.
âokay⊠now give me 500 kisses to make up for it!â he decided, looking at you in complete seriousness, waiting for you to begin your task.
you couldnât even be mad at his request and you obliged. you cradled his face with your hands once again and began to pepper his face with kisses, making sure you hit everywhere you could to show him how much you loved him.
he giggled at your actions, finally smiling for the first time in hours as you pampered him with kisses.
that was the last time you ever tried to prank soonyoung.
wonwoo
you were laying in bed on your phone, mindlessly scrolling while waiting for wonwoo to hop off his game and come to bed.
while scrolling you saw a video of someone pranking their boyfriend by not kissing him, and since wonwoo was keeping you up by not coming to bed yet you decided to play the same prank on him.
wonwoo finally got off his game around 30 minutes later and slipped into bed next to you, pulling you close to him with a shy smile, âiâm sorry, i was winning,â he whispered softly, nuzzling his cheek against yours.
it was rare that you saw him so cuddly and touchy, and your resolve was slowly fading to keep this prank up but you decided you would stay strong.
âitâs okay, letâs go to bed, hm?â you suggested, looking over at him with a little smile, gently pushing his hair out of his face.
he nodded at your words and puckered his lips, moving closer to you to get his nightly kiss before bed. when you dodged him and laid down he slowly blinked at you, a pout that you had never seen before slowly made its way onto his face.
wonwoo wasnât the type to show his emotions so freely but you could tell what he was feeling clear as day now. he didnât have to say anything for you to break.
âoh god iâm sorry,â you mumbled, pulling him in for a goodnight kiss, sweeter than normal since you felt so bad for ignoring his first one, âdonât hate me,â you added, hoping that your very short prank didnât hurt him too badly.
he blinked at you and shot you a sleepy smile, âitâs okay, i know youâre bad at pranks,â he whispered, cuddling up with you and kissing your forehead before letting sleep take over his body.
you were a sucker when it came to wonwoo.
jihoon
âhello? i would like a kiss, please,â jihoon announced to you suddenly.
the two of you were lounging on the couch, enjoying each others company in silence. though, jihoon had been letting his mind run a mile a minute since you appeared to be dodging all his attempts to kiss you.
his words made you stare at him for a few seconds, processing what he said. he wasnât one to ask for affection, he just took what you gave him. you realized this early on in your relationship and so you smothered him with love whenever you could, hoping it was enough.
when you had started this prank on him earlier in the day you thought that he wouldnât notice, or care for that matter. he was a big âgo with the flowâ type of guy. you didnât even think that he would care about your lack of kisses since he never commented on your affection. clearly he cared.
âwhat?â was all you managed to say to his request, not able to form any other words.
âi said i would like a kiss. you havenât kissed me today, did i do something wrong?â he asked innocently, trying to think over what he did all day, surely none of it made you upset.
you frowned at his words, you didnât think that your lack of affection wouldâve affected him that much. you felt your heartstrings tug and you couldnât stop yourself from coming clean.
âno! iâm sorry, honey,â you pouted, scooting right up next to him and pressing a long kiss on his lips, followed by a few more pecks, âit was just some prank i saw online, itâs stupid,â you mumbled, realizing how dumb the prank was in hindsight.
jihoon nodded in satisfaction and wrapped his arm around you. initiating touch was also a rarity for him which only showed you how much this affected him.
âitâs okay, but that is a dumb prank,â he agreed thoughtfully, âi missed your kisses,â he whispered softly, so soft that you almost didnât hear it. but you did.
and from that point you decided to show jihoon affection at any and every moment you could.
minghao
âis this one of your stupid pranks?â minghao deadpanned the second you moved out of the way when he tried to kiss you.
you frowned at his words, sad that he had caught on so fast and didnât even pretend to be upset like the boyfriends in the videos that you had seen online.
you playfully pushed his arm with a pout, âyouâre so lame, howâd you know,â you groaned, telling the truth since you knew you couldnât lie to him.
minghao just laughed and ruffled your hair, âyou would never dodge my kisses, youâre always whining for them in the first place,â he teased, though he was telling the truth, youâd be crazy to dodge his kisses.
you nodded slowly at his words, acknowledging that he was right. now that your prank backfired immediately you looked up at him and smiled, puckering your lips, ready for a kiss.
after a few seconds of not feeling his lips on yours you opened your eyes to see him standing in front of you, a smug smirk present on his lips.
âwhatâre you doing,â you whined, grabbing his hand and shaking it around a little bit, âgive me a kiss,â you asked softly, trying to give him your best puppy dog eyes.
he just raised his eyebrows and shook his head, a grin still present on his face, âi donât think so,â he said in a sing song voice, âyou were going to try and keep your kisses from me, why canât i do the same?â he asked thoughtfully.
you frowned at his words, âyouâre meanâŠâ you mumbled, though you didnât really mean it, you loved his personality.
âyou love me though,â his whispered, opting to kiss the top of your head since he was withholding his kisses from you.
it was enough to satisfy you for the time being plus minghao knew that it was only a matter of time before he caved.
mingyu
mingyu had been following you around your home all night, ever since you didnât give him a kiss before you left for work.
now that you were back home after your shift he just had to be by you. he didnât say anything, but his facial expressions said it all for him. he looked so sad, it honestly hurt your heart a bit.
whenever you got up, so did he. he would follow you to the kitchen, your shared bedroom, outside, even to the bathroom where he waited outside the door until you came out again.
after a few hours of this dynamic you finally decided to ask him the burning question.
âgyu, whatâs wrong?â you asked, grabbing one of his hands and holding it gently. sure, you knew what was âwrongâ but you wanted to hear it from him.
mingyu let out an exasperated sigh and pulled you over to him, squishing you against his side, âfinally!â he exclaimed, âeverything is wrong!â he whined, rubbing his cheek against your head just like a puppy would.
you stifled a laugh at his actions, not wanting to invalidate his feelings since they were clearly making him so distressed. you had a feeling that this was how he was going to act, he needed affection and when you broke your routine of affection for him he didnât know what to do.
âokayâŠâ you started, âexplain it to me, hm?â you suggested, finding you comfy spot even though he had a death grip on you. you managed to get one arm out to stroke his hair which made him visibly relax.
âyou didnât kiss me goodbye,â he pouted, âand you didnât say anything about it!â he pointed out, knowing that you usually wouldâve texted him an apology if you left without your usual goodbye kiss. he held up a finger each time he listed a reason.
you opened your mouth to respond, barely getting a word out before mingyu cut you off with another loud and exaggerated sigh.
âand you didnât give me a kiss when you got home!â he raised a third finger for your third offense, âand you havenât kissed me at all! itâs been hours since you got home!â he held up a fourth finger, waving them in your face with wide eyes so you understood the severity of the situation.
the more he talked the wider your smile got, you tried to hide your giggling but since you were so close to each other he noticed it and reprimanded you for it.
âand! hey! this isnât a laughing matter⊠itâs seriousâŠâ he whined, bringing both arms around you again and shaking you gently back and forth, âdonât laugh at meâŠâ he groaned, a big pout evident on his face while you tried to compose yourself.
âiâm sorry, baby,â you said softly, smushing his cheeks together in your hands, you noticed how his eyes got a little softer when you used his pet name. it was clear that you werenât upset with anything, so now he was just a little confused.
mingyuâs pout still held presence on his face when he asked his next question, âthen why didnât i get my kisses,â he mumbled, his words coming out less coherent since your hands still held his cheeks together.
âoh! it was just a prank i saw online, wanted to try it on you,â you explained easily, though in hindsight it definitely wasnât the brightest idea since you knew how touch starved your boyfriend could get.
he narrowed his eyes at your words, âworst prank ever,â he confirmed, feeling slightly better now that he knew you werenât withholding his affection for a legitimate reason.
âdonât be sad! iâll make it up to you,â you said cheerfully, leaning in and pressing a few kisses to his lips, pulling back with a smile, âbetter?â you asked, judging from the smile he was hiding you could tell that he had gotten over it easily.
but he shook his head, âi think i need one hundred more kisses to make up for this,â he said thoughtfully, closing his eyes and puckering his lips, genuinely waiting for his next hundred kisses.
you obliged and his smile grew with every next kiss you gave him.
seokmin
âif i sing you a song will you give me a kiss?â seokmin asked as if you were playing 21 questions.
you shook your head in response.
âwhat about if i write you a song?â he revised.
still another no from you.
âif i give you 20 bucks?â
you gave him a raised brow but still said nothing.
âa hundred? a thousand? a million dollars for a kiss?â he shouted out as if he was an auctioneer.
you set down your phone and walked over to where seokmin was standing, âi love the enthusiasm and persistence but the answer is still no, my love,â you whispered, giving him a pat on the back for his efforts.
see, with seokmin, you couldnât just not kiss him without telling him. you knew him well enough to know that he wouldâve spiraled hard over it. so, you showed him a few videos of other partners doing the prank on their boyfriends. he found it amusing and decided to turn it into a competition instead.
if he could get you to kiss him then heâd win. if you could stand the day without kissing him then youâd win.
the prize was bragging rights and you were determined to win. but so was seokmin.
it was nearing the end of the day and seokmin was getting desperate, now shooting off every suggestion and bribe to get you to kiss him. but to his disappointment, nothing worked.
now, the two of you were cuddled under the covers, you were smug since you had won your bet and seokmin was sulking since he was positive that he was going to win.
âgoodnight, honey, iâll kiss you in the morning,â you whispered teasingly, rubbing it in that you had won your little competition.
he just scoffed at your words with a roll of his eyes, âyeah, yeah, goodnight,â he mumbled in defeat, letting you fall into dreamland while he stayed awake next to you, playing on his phone and waiting to get tired.
after an hour you were woken up by seokminâs quiet laughter, you peeled your eyes open and saw that his face was illuminated by his phone screen. you couldnât see the clock on your nightstand but you assumed that it was late.
he noticed your shifting around and frowned, âsorry, love, did i wake you?â he asked gently, putting his phone down on his chest and rubbing your back slowly, hoping that would soothe you back into your sleep.
âitâs okay, go to sleep, seokmin, itâs late,â you mumbled sleepily, moving your head up and giving him a sweet goodnight kiss before falling back asleep quickly.
when he felt his lips against yours his face lit up, about to say something before he noticed that you had fallen asleep once again.
he looked at the clock on your nightstand.
11:58pm
youâd kissed him before the day was over.
seokmin had won your bet and you better believe youâd be hearing all about it the next morning.
(he even took a picture of the time for proof)
seungkwan
âhoney⊠how come you wonât kiss me?â seungkwan asked, noticing how you had turned your head twice on him in the day, making him kiss your cheek instead of your lips.
you looked at him innocently and shrugged, âi donât know what youâre talking about, kwannie,â you said, trying your best to sound convincing.
he nodded at you slowly and then went back in for a kiss, catching your cheek once again. he pulled back and pointed at you, âthat! thatâs what iâm talking about! iâm trying to get lips but all im getting is cheek!â he explained, as if you didnât know what you were doing.
you shook your head, âhmm, i donât get it,â you said, eyebrows furrowing together to try and play dumb. you knew that he would catch on to the fact that you were just messing with him. but it was fun for the time being.
he caught on quickly and nodded his head at you, his eyes narrowing, âahh, i see,â he said suspiciously, âtwo can play at this gameâŠâ he concluded, walking out of the room backwards, keeping his eyes on you as he walked.
the rest of the day was spent not kissing each other. you each dodged the others attempts until you were sitting on opposite ends of the couch, stuck in an intense staring contest.
how was this related to your kissing prank on seungkwan? neither of you could explain. but this is where you ended up.
after another 10 minutes of menacingly staring at each other you were the one that broke.
âseungkwan, can we give this up now? i miss your kissesâŠâ you said truthfully, pouty lips and gentle voice on display to try and convince him. you were not thinking that your silly prank was going to be a day long event and now you just missed your boyfriend.
luckily for you, seungkwan broke at the exact same time and nodded quickly. the two of you closed the gap between you on the couch and finally let your lips touch.
this led to a good 15 minutes of gentle kisses and giggles on the couch.
when you pulled away you were both grinning at each other, forgotten was the entire day and all you could think of was how happy you were in that moment.
âletâs never do that again,â you decided, not wanting to put yourself through that agony again.
âagreed.â seungkwan replied, diving back in and making up for lost time, or rather, lost kisses.
vernon
âdo you think my breath smells bad or something?â vernon asked while the two of you were laying in bed together ready to shut off the lights and go to sleep.
the entire day you had been playing this âprankâ on him of not kissing him. though, the prank somehow backfired since he didnât seem to notice at all, at least not to you.
after your refusal of his kiss early in the morning he hadnât attempted to kiss you again.
you gave him a funny look and shook your head, âno? you just brushed your teeth, didnât you?â you asked, confused by his very random question right before bed.
he nodded slowly at your answer and turned his head back up so he was looking at the ceiling. he seemed to be deep in thought before he turned his head back to you again.
âso, iâm all for boundaries and stuff and i respect yours, really i do,â he started, making sure you understood that he respects your choices, âbut iâm just confused on why you didnât want to kiss me at all today,â he explained, wanting to get straight to the point and not tip toe around the big issue that was swirling around in his head.
his words shocked you and you turned to face him, the surprise clearly showing on your face. you thought that he hadnât noticed your lack of physical affection since you two werenât big on all that.
âbut you didnât kiss me today either,â you pointed out to him, your response failed as he shook his head at you.
âno, i tried to this morning but you dodged me,â he pointed out in turn, âso i just assumed you didnât want to kiss, didnât want to make you explain in case it was a sore spot so i just respected it,â he continued, laying out his thought process to you, âmy curiosity just got the better of me now, iâm sorry if you donât want to talk about it,â he added respectfully.
you frowned at your boyfriends words, he was so respectful, almost too respectful. it was one of the many things you loved about vernon along with his maturity and his way with words.
vernonâs words tugged on your heart and you rolled over to his side of the bed, pulling him into a hug with your arms around his neck.
âyouâre the sweetest guy ever,â you said softly, while you were having a sentimental moment vernon was utterly confused at your actions, however. but he accepted it and slowly brought his arms up around your waist, slowly rubbing your back as he didnât know what to do or what you were feeling.
âokay⊠so what was going on today?â he asked, secretly relishing in the amount of affection he was receiving.
you pulled your head up and looked at him, âit was just this stupid prank i saw online, i thought youâd react differentlyâŠâ you mumbled, cheeks heating up in embarrassment as you admitted it.
he raised an eyebrow at you, âa prank? dodging my kisses as a prank?â he questioned, not seeing the appeal in it.
you buried your face in his neck and nodded, âyeah, i thought you would be more persistent or something, but youâre just too respectful,â you said jokingly. he huffed out a laugh at your words and nodded, holding you closer to him.
âsorry, babe,â he mumbled, pressing a kiss on your head, âyou want me to change?â he asked, half as a joke but also being half serious.
you shook your head quickly, ânever, youâre perfect,â you said immediately, never wanting him to doubt himself.
to seal the deal you decided to press your lips against his, finally giving him the kiss that you had deprived him of all day.
chan
you were relaxing on the couch in your living room when you heard the front door open, signaling that chan was home from work.
you checked the time on your phone, realizing that chan was home almost an hour later than he normally was.
his late appearance intrigued you, so you got up from the couch and decided to walk to the entryway of your apartment, greeting chan there.
when you walked up to him he was taking off his shoes, but that wasnât the thing that interested you. what did interest you was the huge bouquet of your favorite flowers that were in one hand and the designer bag that he was carrying in the other.
âwoah! whatâd you buy?â you asked curiously, reaching for the designer bag that was in his hand, he let you take the bag in your hands and walk to the kitchen to unravel it. you took the flowers into your other hand and set them on the table next to you after giving them a smell.
chan just gave you a smile and followed, âgot it for you, honey,â he said gently, he seemed a little weary but you didnât take much notice of it. though, you were extremely confused as to why he wouldâve gotten you such an expensive item out of the blue.
you looked at him strangely, âwhy?â you questioned, it wasnât your birthday or your anniversary any time soon, and you couldnât understand why else such an expensive present would make its way into your lap.
chan gave you a sad smile and reached across the table, holding your hand, âi know this doesnât make up for whatever i did, but i just wanted to tell you iâm sorry,â he said softly, âand iâd love to fix whatever i did if you just tell me what it is,â he said truthfully, getting ready to change anything you told him.
you cocked your head to the side and looked at chan with narrowed eyes, trying to figure him out, âwhatâd you do?â you asked, not quite understanding what he was talking about.
âcâmon, babe, you can tell me, i promise iâll fix it,â he said again, wanting to make sure that it was a safe space for you to tell him your feelings.
you shook your head at his words, âno, chan, i really donât know what youâre talking about, truly,â you made sure to emphasize, not leaving any room for him to think that you were hiding something.
âbut⊠but you wouldnât let me kiss you this morning,â he explained, âso youâre mad about something, right?â he deduced. and instead of asking you about it earlier he decided to spend thousands of dollars on a designer item and a bouquet of flowers to try and make it better.
when you let his words sink in you let out a loud laugh, pulling your hand back from him and grabbing your sides while you laughed. chan was far from amused and narrowed his eyes at you seemingly making fun of a serious situation.
âoh, god, iâm sorry channie,â you said in between laughs, when you finally caught your breath you composed yourself and explained, âthat was a prank, babe, look,â you pulled out your phone and showed chan a few of the videos that you had seen online.
this only appalled him and he quickly snatched the bag from the table, âiâm returning thisâŠâ he mumbled, shaking his head at your actions.
âno! iâll take it!â you exclaimed after him, standing up and getting next to him, giving him your best puppy dog eyes and feigning innocence.
âiâm taking these flowers too, theyâre mine now,â he said childishly, sticking his tongue out at you and snatching the flowers from the table as well.
you laughed at his actions, âwe live in the same house! the flowers are going to be here anyways,â you explained, making him think of a rebuttal.
âwell,â he started, pausing for a moment, âtheyâre going to go on my nightstand then!â
and after some convincing words chan ended up letting you keep the designer bag he had purchased. though your favorite flowers found their home on his nightstand.
Summary: You wipe off his kiss absent mindedly, and he needs his revenge.
a/n: I'm a mess. I am crying, I have a headache and I'm panicking đ
Jeonghan was pouting. Seungcheol glanced at his best friend with narrowed eyes as they practiced. He seemed to get his moves wrong and his sour mood was actually irritating him. You on the other hand sat at one corner of the practice room, eyes fixed on your phone.
'Hannie, what happened?' Seungcheol asked as they took a break.
You heard this, and looked up, hoping to catch Jeonghan's eye, but he was stubbornly avoiding your gaze. Sighing you look back at your phone again.
This was just so stupid! All over something you did unintentionally that morning. You and Jeonghan were just leaving home and you were on the phone with your best friend, Jisoo. As you were talking, Jeonghan had leaned in and kissed you - and you, absent mindedly wiped it off. You really didn't mean to, this has never happened before.
But you froze right after you did it, seeing your boyfriend's face. He looked so hurt, you quickly hung up on your call and grabbed his hand.
'Hannie, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!' You said.
'Let go. I'm late for practice.' Jeonghan said, his voice firm, but sad.
'Baby, please don't be mad!' You pleaded. 'You know I won't ever-'
'But you did.' He said, getting into the car and waiting for you to get in.
You felt bad about it, but you apologized, and yet, he held on with his grudge.
'Hannie, baby, come on-'
'Leave it.'
'You're the one not letting go.'
'You keep bringing it up!'
'Because you're mad at me! You won't even talk to me!'
'I don't want to talk to someone who just wiped off my kiss like you don't like it!'
'Oh my God, Hannie! I said I was sorry!' You said, with a tinge of anger.
'Right. That fixes everything.' Jeonghan said, rolling his eyes.
'You know what. Fine. I did it on purpose. Ok? Are you happy?'
He just glared at you and remained silent, driving. You actually feel bad about getting mad at him. Jeonghan was sensitive about things like that.
'Y/N! Do you want a donut?!' Vernon called from across the room and you nod, walking over to him.
'Dude, what happened? Why is he so upset?' Vernon asked, handing you a jammy donut.
'Nothing, just tired, I guess.' You say with a shrug, licking some jam off your fingers.
Meanwhile, Seungcheol tried his best to get his best friend to talk.
'Since when do you keep secrets from me?' He asked. 'Is it about Y/N? Did you two fight?'
'Hm.' Jeonghan said, his eyes set on you and Vernon. Why were you standing so close to Vernon?!
'Ok, be like that then. Don't tell me. At least don't let it mess up the practice, ok?' Seungcheol sighed, his eyes following Jeonghan's line of vision.
You were shaking your heading at Vernon.
'Seriously, it's nothing.' You said, feeling worse now.
Your heart pounded as you moved across the room, avoiding Jeonghan's glare. But you could feel his eyes drilling holes in the back of your head. You chewed on your donut, avoiding everyone's looks now.
Shouldn't have come today, you thought.
Practice continued for another hour and as soon as Seungcheol said they could stop, all the boys began preparations to leave. You were on your feet quickly, planning to slip away unnoticed. You could just wait for Jeonghan in the car.
Just as you passed Jeonghan, he grabbed the back of your t-shirt, spinning you around to face him. His eyes blazed with anger and it genuinely frightened you.
'Hannie, what are you-' You didn't finish that sentence because he just pulled you closer and kissed you. His lips catching your bottom lip and sucking on it. You just held on to his arms, eyes wide and completely shocked.
Everyone stood watching, surprised for a moment, then came the laughter and the whistling.
When he finally pulled away, he kept his face just inches away, his eyes locked with yours.
'Go ahead, wipe it off.' he dared you, breathing heavily.
You just stood there, stunned and speechless, unable to move. Your cheeks and neck and ears were all flaming hot and you just buried your head in his chest, embarrassed.
'Hannieee!' You whined, and he wrapped his arms around you, a little chuckle escaping his lips.
'I knew something was up with you two!' Mingyu teased, grinning from ear to ear.
Joshua just laughed, shaking his head.
Your cheeks were burning and your heart racing, as you look up at Jeonghan.
'Hannie, I really didn't mean to-' you began, but he just shook his head.
'I know baby, I'm sorry I overreacted.' Jeonghan said, smiling softly at you.
You hugged him and he held you tightly against his chest, shooing away the boys who were having a great show.
Seungcheol just rolled his eyes at you two, smiling as he made everyone leave.
'Let's go home ok?' Jeonghan said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. 'You have a lot of making up to do'.
You just laugh.
