Look, it wasnโt like you intended to end up here, but the oppressive weight possessing your mind posed to have an unbearable screech upon you seemingly every waking hour, and in turn the reaction you gave deemed itself to be pitifully understandable to any by-stander, a simple byproduct of the invisible injuries that go unseen until they become inevitably overpowering.
And so, there you lay, exasperated from the tolls thrust upon you as a result of the modern world. However, the incessant beep hailing from somewhere you couldnโt place puzzled you as your debilitated conscious settled upon it being your oven beeping upon the hour.
The shadow you had gained upon your entry to the unsettling establishment was indeed an endearing one, one who became the subject of many friendly natters amongst the staff during their shifts, โangelโ was the nickname theyโd appointed him. And so, with your very-own godsend perched next to you, you remained in comfortable, much needed slumber.
It was around the hour of mid-evening when you finally stirred to a state of conscious, trying desperately in your baffled state to place your surroundings. The uncertainty began looming through your veins until your frantic gaze settled upon a familiar, platinum-blonde blob, the comfort it radiated causing you to blindly reach for it, startling you when it flinched at the contact.
โy-y/n? youโre awake! oh, thank god, i was so worried, i-โ, the rest of your best friends speech blurring into one as you gazed hopelessly into his brown eyes filled to the brim with worry.
As your hazed reality began to settle, your comfort scurried out of your small confinement, leaving unanswered questions calling after him. It was then you found it easier to succumb to the strange pull within you to silently slip back under.
โ-they had in the cafeteria. not the most nutritious, but goodโ, were the words that greeted you upon your re-entry to consciousness, you smiled at your best friend as he hoisted himself onto the harsh mattress.
โthank you Riki, h-how long have i been in the hospital?โ you watched the relief flood his features when you finally graced him with a response before gratefully taking the bite of instant noodles he offered to you.
โa day or so, the doctor said she could discharge you after you got some rest.โ silence settled upon the two of you as the young boy fought with the moral invasiveness of his next enquiry. โare.. are you okay? it was kinda scary when you suddenly just.. fellโ
Pondering over your answer, you nodded as you successfully placed the empty noodle cup on the small, battered desk. โYes, i mean.. i think so. I just got a bit overwhelmed, thatโs all. Thank you Ki, for staying with meโ
The blondeโs eyes wrinkled into adorable, little crescents at your words as red crawled onto his cheeks, โyouโre welcome, iโm sure youโd do the s-โ, rikiโs words cut off by your yawn as you gestured him to keep going.
โNo, no itโs okay! You must be tired, go ahead.โ you offered your best friend a weak smile as your hand reached for the space next to you. The taller boy beaming as he gladly curled into your frame, tucked under your chin as his comforting scent lulled you back to sleep, however this time you were more sure of your surroundings at this present moment, and how you wouldnโt trade them for the world.

The time was around 6pm when you decided that you had given up on true love once and for all, sighing as you launched your packed bag (an action that would most conveniently slip from your memory the next time you gracefully overslept and needed to throw yourself out the door with that same bag) off to a corner of your apartment, as if throwing away your emotions all together. You dared not to glance at the empty corner of your bedroom where your blankets usually lay neatly stacked ready for top-tier cuddling whenever the occasion should arise. So you took to propelling your body face-first onto your bed, your own constant, warm safe-haven - ready to console you whenever you couldnโt face the world.ย
And there you lay, with furrowed eyebrows as you fought with the urge to express your sorrow by helplessly sobbing while clutching you pillow for dear-life.ย โItโs nothing, stop being so dramatic, y/nโ, you mumbled over and over as your voice creeped ever higher with each lie you forced out.ย
It wasnโt nothing.ย
You flat-out rejected the salty tracks that raced down your cheeks, cursing as you felt overwhelming betrayal while they revealed your secret to no one in particular, however your inner turmoil raged at the sign of you admitting the reality of the past hour or so. Curling into a small ball, you tried to offer yourself comfort in any way you could - yet truthfully you knew it was hopeless as it made to be no match for his comfort, the way heโd wrap you up in his arms and move his hands gently over your skin as he caught your tears in his warm hands, as if the simple action could allow him to take the pain away.ย

But no, you werenโt going to think about him.ย
Meanwhile, in a realm of comfort not far from your own, Felix sat crosslegged on the smooth, laminate floor of his shared dorm. โWHOOโ-ing in victory as his blonde companion who was barely a day older than him pelted the undeserving controller away from his body in disgust. Itโs brief descent making a rather ugly skidding noise as it collided with the entertainment unit, the boy huffed out his squirrel-like cheeks as he mumbled something about how the intense-sounding playlist the younger boy appointed as background was distracting him.
Felix only turned to look at his friend with a smug grin on his face, โI believe that makes 5-1 to Felix Lee!โ, he exclaimed, โNeed to step up your game, mate.โ, the dusty-blonde smirked as he leant back against the base on the leather couch.
โWhatever, itโs exhausting playing with you.โ Jisung scowled at his younger friend as he heaved his exasperated body off the ground and reached his arms up towards the ceiling to regain feeling in his many limbs that had taken to falling asleep during the gaming tournament. โWhat time is it, anyways? Feels like a day since I saw the sunโ, the older boy forced out through a yawn.
The boy in question could only offer incoherentย โIโs andย โuhโs in return as he stumbled to his feet, hastily shrugging a jacket over his shoulders. Seungmin, who had conveniently just come out of the shower and happened to stumble across the scene, exchanged a bewildered look with Jisung before turning back to Felix. The two observed their brother with amazement as he struggled to shove his foot into his navy-blue trainer, the action resembling a fish out of water as he desperately hopped around on one foot. If Felixโs friends werenโt so concerned at the present moment theyโd be recording his peculiar antics, ready to never let him forget. But rather they were left with puzzled looks as the front door slammed, endless, unanswered questions lingering in the air.ย
Felix trusted knocking to be useless in a situation with a severity such as this one, he hastily struggled to wade through the endless puzzle of his keys before he jammed the spare key you had given him into the lock, slowing his pace slightly as he entered into your home. He knew as soon as he stood in the living room how badly he had messed up - your sadness lingered in the air protruding from your bedroom, taking blows to his own chest with each step as he found himself quite breathless.ย
The chocolate-eyed boy first found your abandoned overnight bag, taking a deep breath before spilling its contents. Felixโs regret glared up at him in the shape of your blankets, pyjamas and packed lunches you had prepared for earlier in the day. He quickly tore his gaze away from the endearing note you had stuck to his sandwiches, not bearing to withstand another reason to feel impossibly worse.ย
Felix tip-toed into your room as if he were afraid to wake you, yet he knew he had to talk to you - and, god, was he in for it. The boys throat tightened at the sight of you, as if it were punishing him for being so careless. He could only stare as you lay curled up in a state of uncomfortable sleep, clinging to the pillow he usually slept on. He slipped off his shoes and jacket, desperately prolonging waking you up and seeing the heartbroken look grace your soft features, he slowly knelt down and brushed your hair behind your ear, the action revealing the sheer amount of crying you had partaken in before his arrival.ย
Unfortunately for Felix, you had not nearly slipped into a deep enough sleep to gain some proper rest, so the action caused you to stir and have your eyes flutter open, those who had puffed up full of emotion, their betrayal presenting itself front and centre with the harshest shade of red. The remorseful boy watched as your face convulsed into one of distaste as you quickly sat up and looked away from him.ย
โI donโt want to talk to you, get out.โ you croaked, voice thick with sleep and tears as you lied to the boy in front of you.
โBaby I am so.. so sorry-โ, he reached out a hand to hold yours, eyes desperately searching your own when you yanked your hand away from him.
โYou shouldโve called,โ you breathed as you fixed your gaze on the minuscule cracks in your ceiling, as if your tears would become distracted by them as you spoke not only to the boy in front of you, but to yourself. โIf youโre busy, o-or if you donโt want to go out with me, just tell meโ
You didnโt stop your ranting at the boysย โbaby, no i-โ, unknowingly cutting him off as you let out the thoughts and insecurities that had been poisoning your mind all day.ย โ- just donโt make plans and let me get all excited and stupid and then.. leave me to wait at the park by myself, with things for a picnic date and a sleepover.. looking like an idiot.โย
The boy in turn once again reached out to console you, realising he could spend his entire life searching and never find the right words to possibly comfort you in that moment - but as you weakly pushed your heart away from your body, Felix felt his own shatter into a million pieces at your confession.ย
โItโs not stupid, y/n, this is all my fault. I shouldnโt have called, i shouldโve been there, like I promised. I would never leave you alone on purpose, i just forgot because, well. i donโt even know why. I know you donโt want to hear what I have to say right now but i promise,โ he paused to look you straight in the eye, the seriousness being unusual in your easygoing relationship.ย โI promise i will make it up to you.โ he sighed at the lack of response, yet he knew he deserved nothing less, and moved to his feet.ย โI know you need space so.. iโll leave you alone, okay? Call me if you need anything, anything at all, i love you-โ
The rambling Australianโs words were caught in his throat when he felt a warmth encase his wrist, he looked down at your hand and back up to meet your eyes, sporting a puzzled gaze as you sniffled.ย
โStay. Just because I canโt sleep without you.โย
Your words earned a small smile from the latter boy as he inwardly gushed over your adorable manner, he wasted no time slipping under the covers and embracing you in his arms in a silent apology, although he knew it would be one of many. Not only did he curseย himself for being so forgetful, but he also felt his heart shatter at your assumption of him missing your one-year anniversary celebration purposefully. He shut his eyes and screamed at his imagination not to picture you sat on the picnic blanket all by yourself, suppressing tears as you avoided the invading gazes of passerbyโs (who could easily have guessed what happened - your asshole of a boyfriend stood you up, how were they to know it was unknowingly?)
Felix had lost count of the amount of times he had attempted to drift off, never fully falling into sleep as the guilt stood in the back of his mind, nagging and mocking him constantly. The sun was finally starting to seep through the curtains as the boy decided that his torturous nightโsย โsleepโ should come to an end as he carefully removed his arms from around you and got up. Grabbing one of his hoodies youโd stowed away in your wardrobe as he made his way out to the kitchen, not forgetting to re-tuck you in before he left.ย
It was some hours later when you finally announced your consciousness to the world, you dragged yourself into your ensuite to find your eyes impossibly filled to the brim with dry tears, stabbing at your fragile eyes as you began to wash up for the day. You wandered into the kitchen to be met with a sweet, inviting aroma, one that reminded you of... your birthday? Letting out a tiny gasp, you silently sat down at the breakfast bar as you watched your flour-covered boyfriend finishing piping icing on his last cupcake, before he turned around and screamed at the sight of you.
โAH!โ, he scrambled to cover your eyes, โyou werenโt supposed to see these yet!โ His lips forming an adorable pout as he threw his arm by his side in a child-like manner.ย โI was gonna bring you breakfast in bed except.. itโs cupcakesโ
You smiled as your heart melted at the thought, pressing a soft peck to his cheek, whisperingย โi love itโ loud enough so that only he could hear. Despite the two of you being alone in your cozy apartment, you outright rejected the thought of anyone else getting in on the words meant for only each other.
He sighed in defeat as he presented you with a plate of slightly messy cupcakes adorned with vanilla buttercream swirling magnificently on top of each one. They may not have been the best dressed baked goods youโd ever seen, but there was no doubt in your mind that every little cake was made with the utmost care and love, and thatโs all you could ever ask for.ย
โI know itโs not much but... i just wanted to say how sorry I am for yesterday. This, obviously, doesnโt make up for it but if youโre feeling up to it.. we could go on our date today? Iโm just so sorry baby, this isnโt enough, but itโs a start, right?โ he looked up at you with hopeful, doe eyes as you nodded and pulled him down to sit next to you.ย
โWeโre gonna be okay, right?โ the exhausted boy murmured to you, making you reply with a reassuring kiss on his temple.ย
โข the two of you met by chance, your friend had dragged you to a party because you โneeded to have friends OTHER than your stuffed animalsโ like ?? Darron the dolphin UNDERSTANDS you??
โข but anyway ๐ you decided to join your faithful chum in his apparently very necessary social gathering, some people smh
โข you adorn yourself in a pretty but comfy outfit and think to yourself, MAYBE youโll have a good time, maybe it wonโt be as bad as you think, you know?
โข and then you get there and youโre met with ridiculously bass-boosted music coupled with lyrics decorating the glorious feeling of anger, people dancing on each other in the pathetic amount of light endlessly โwhoopingโ
โข you scrunch your nose as your friend tells you heโll be talking to the parties host etc (aka the girl he has a crush on, so you assume you wonโt see him for a while)
โข you look around and decide the safest bet is the kitchen, itโs the only room in the whole house where you canโt hear the god-awful noise and have the strobe lights hurt your eyes
โข itโs there you decide to gorge on the table of food because, why not? Itโs free
โข โIโm guessing you donโt want to be here either?โ
โข you look up with cheeks stuffed full of mini sausage rolls to be met with a boy wearing an emerald bomber jacket with messy, brown hair
โข โnot particularly. I got dragged by my friend, told me I needed to get out moreโ you roll your eyes and jump to sit on the counter, opposite to where heโs leaning against the cupboards
โข he lets out the most joyous laugh you have ever heard and you canโt stop yourself from letting a huge smile spread across your features
โข โIโm Y/n, by the wayโ
โข โIโm Jae. This may sound weird but, you wanna get out of here, I want some REAL food. Plus it may help you get out moreโ he adds a wink at the end of his sentence to which you playfully roll your eyes
โข and mwah โจ the rest is history
โฌ ๐ธ๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ค
โข okay look, Jae gets really sassy in fights
โข like straight up
โข โOh! You insulted me!? How will I ever live on!? I will be mentally and physically scarred for many the millennia!โ
โข which can lead to you getting frustrated because, you just want him to take you seriously and listen to you
โข you mostly likely end up sighing and walking away from him
โข โcome talk to me when you decide to act your age!โ
โข once youโve both calmed down you usually feel really bad for treating him like that, and Jae feels bad that he didnโt actually listen to your point :((
โข so you both meet in the hallway like awkward penguins
โข โIโm sorryโ - at the same time
โข you end up talking it through and laughing about it dw! ๐ฅฐ
โฌ ๐ป๐๐ฅ๐๐ค:
โข omg ๐ฅบ
โข imagine this: skating dates in the park
โข *screams*
โข like Jae has his skateboard with that ONE fit with the messy hair and THE glasses (u know the one ๐)
โข and he holds your hand as you run along next to him and jump over the board every so often and jump up to press kisses to his cheeks to distract him
โข โfirst one to the fountain pays for dinner!โ
โข mayhaps you stay there till dark sat on the swings looking at the stars talking about nothing and everything
โข thatโs when he realises how much he loves you
โJae, I swear weโve been through this one like twice now,โ you grumble as your boyfriend endlessly clicks through the movie carousel on Netflix, โjust pick something before I go insaneโ the last part of your sentence being muffled as you moved up to flop yourself face-down on the now hazy-blue-haired boyโs chest.
โI swear, babe, Iโm trying! What do you think Iโm doing? โOh I like it when the movies go around in circlesโโ he mocked in an over-the-top tone
โShut up,โ you giggled, turning over the rest the back of your head on his chest, โhow about that?โ You suggested as you pointed at the screen
โDidnโt we watch this like, last week?โ Jae chuckles as he directs the remote to Megamind
โDid i stutter? Plus, how could you not like it? He looks just like you!โ
He hit your head lightly with an โAy!โ before selecting the movie and tossing the remote on the nightstand, exchanging it for the bowl of mini sausage rolls (haha see what I did there).
He set the bowl between the two of you and smiled to himself when you immediately started to scoff the small pastries, he settled his arm around you as you two cuddled and relaxed in each otherโs embrace.
Letโs just say you were glad you went to at least one party.
โข you knew Hyunnie before he made it big in Day6
โข it was on your way home from a long day of school/work when you heard soft guitar and the most beautiful singing youโve ever heard
โข you took a detour from your usual route and followed the voice until you matched the voice to a gorgeous stranger
โข mayhaps you stood there watching him with a smile on your face for a lil (a lot) longer than you wanted to as Younghyun turned to you and smirked
โข โitโs been a bit of a quiet night. Maybe all of my listeners got scared off by a certain someoneโ
โข lets just say you were more than embarrassed as you stuttered over your next words
โข โI-Iโm sorry itโs just.. youโre worth sticking around to watch forโ
โข and that was it
โข after many nights of you seeking out the boy on your way home, he finally asked you if you had anywhere to be at this late hour
โข you, of course, didnโt. So you agreed to go for coffee (or any hot drink of your choice ๐ฅฐ) with him
โข many more dates later you were sat in Younghyunโs apartment, half asleep as you listened to him strum softly on his guitar
โข โy/n..โ he whispered, โI think Iโm falling for youโ
โข his eyes widened when you mumbled a โme tooโ back to him.
โข even with your eyes closed, you knew the exact smile that spread across his face at that moment
โฌ ๐ธ๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ค
โข look, lyric writing is hard.
โข and whatever you do for work bcs everything is valid is hard
โข and sometimes when Hyunnie just canโt figure out how to make that one line fit the rhythm and no!! Heโs not angry! Heโs just- UGH! Okay!?
โข so you can imagine the built up stress leads to a fight sometimes :/
โข itโll end with either of you walking out since youโre both very passionate and didnโt want to cry in front of each other
โข but dw you can only be apart for a maximum of like two days before you miss each other
โฌ ๐ป๐๐ฅ๐๐ค:
โข dates usually consist of you two laying around each otherโs apartments, with a movie on as background music while you two talk about your week
โข you either lay wrapped up in hyunnieโs arms
โข or he lays his head in your lap as you stroke through his hair
โข depending on how wiped out you are from the week, you either order food or cook something together (and believe me when I say it is an adorable, giggly mess)
โข then you just unwind together and enjoy each otherโs company, it may not be a lavish candle-lit dinner, but you two wouldnโt trade it for the world
โHoney, could you get the spaghetti out of the pan for me? Iโm almost done with the chickenโ Younghyun asked as he flipped the chicken breasts as it sizzled in the pan.
โMm-hm,โ you said as you distributed the spaghetti evenly on the two plates. โI canโt wait to try this, it smells so yummy!โ
Younghyun smiled at you as he placed the chicken next to the spaghetti to complete your dishes of creamy chicken pacatta.
The pair of you sat down at your homely dinner table as you twirled around a piece of chicken up with your spaghetti while Younghyun did the same. You see - it was a tradition to feed each other the first bite of whatever you cooked together.
A wide smile spread across your features as the flavours danced on your tongue, and you nodded profusely to tell Younghyun your opinion of the dish.
โWhatโs the verdict?โ Younghyun smiled, twirling his fork with his index finger.
โ10/10!โ
Later on when you two had eaten, you settled down to watch a movie together. Your eyes were fixed on the action-packed opening scene until you felt something cold touch your lips.
You looked over to your boyfriend who had an open pint of ice cream in his lap who was currently offering you a spoon.
โOne bite for me,โ he started, โone bite for my baby.โ
You broke into laughter before you accepted the spoon of sweet ice cream, there was no where else youโd rather be.

โต A/n 2: not proofread
โOh god. Oh god. Oh god. Ohgodohgodohgod what have you done?โ You thought as you looked down at the horror before you. Head clouded with horror-stricken thoughts as you replayed the last ten seconds over and over again in your mind. Desperately searching for an answer on what you were going to do. Or, better yet, how in gods name you were going to tell mark why his precious guitar was currently on the floor in front of you in two pieces.
But how did you end up in this particular predicament you ask? Well letโs see..
[3:17 pm]ย โHi Y/n! Mark is out with the others right now but you can go wait in his room, they went out shopping but I wasnโt feeling it todayโ Jungwoo greeted as you walked into the dorm you had become so familiar with.ย
โThanks, Woo! How lucky you are today, you have the dorm all to yourself!โ you exclaimed with a smile
โYeah, had the dorm all to myselfโ he retorted back, narrowing his eyes though his tone held no real maliceโย
You clasped a hand over your heart in fake offence before you stomped off to Markโs room with aย โhmmph!โ, hearing the red-haired boy chuckle at your antics as you opened the door.ย
Sighing lightly upon entering the comforting room, you lightly flopped yourself onto your boyfriendโs bed, your hair splaying out against the beige duvet cover as your eyes looked up at the ceiling. Your gaze soon began to wander around the room, a smile settling upon your lips as the whole room just screamedย โMarkโ; from the slightly messy desk decorated with various lyric sheets to the polaroid picture he kept of the two of you on his bedside table.ย
You two were so happy that day, running around the city as if you didnโt have a care in the world, and you didnโt. The only thing that mattered to the pair of you that day, was simply each other. Almost feeling your heart fill with warmth, your emotions overwhelmed you at what you laid your eyes on.ย
That guitar. His guitar. Markโs guitar. The comforting instrument that accompanied you both through countless sleepless nights, lying in his lap with your eyes fluttering closed as the soft strumming along with Markโs hushed, tired voice making you inwardly smile, you were exactly where you wanted to be.
Without another thought occupying your head, your feet stood up and brought you closer to the object until they took you directly before it. You contemplated for just a moment before chuckling and shaking your head of your worry-some thoughts.ย
Now, Mark had taught you a few chords here and there over the year that you had been together, but you didnโt know nearly enough to play a full song. Not dwelling on that fact, you picked up the acoustic guitar and held it in your arms.ย
โOkay, baby, place your fingers here, here and here.โ you could hear Markโs voice in your head as you recalled the chord pattern. You brought your fingers over the strings as the chordโs beautiful sound raced around the room, the strings in mention vibrating under your fingertips.ย ย
The nostalgia seemed to run through you like the vibration of the guitarโs strum. After strumming a few more times you gained a rush of confidence before you added mindless adlibs and hums to your performance, the mere thought of Jungwoo catching you doing something so terribly embarrassing made you wince, but you currently werenโt concerned with that prospect, not in the slightest.ย
Until it all went so, soย awfully wrong. A sharp turn while you were strumming non-melodically caused Markโs precious, timeless guitar to collide with the wall, and oh, did it collide. The horror you felt envelope your body as a bang proceeded by the entirety of the neck belonging to Markโs guitar snapped and fell to the floor, the sheer force it hit the wall with also caused the strings to snap in two.ย
So here you were, staring down at the two, demolished pieces of Markโs heart at your feet as your mind put you in a whirlwind- what do you now? What will Mark say? Could you.. fix it? Is it possible to.. tie guitar strings together?
The sound of the front door opening followed by the boisterous voices of the other members rang throughout the dorm, sending waves of panic through your veins as you quickly picked up the evidence of your crime and stashed it at the back of Markโs closet.ย
When said-boy entered the room you had your back facing him as you were swiftly closed the closet, twirling around at the sound of a tired,ย โhey, babyโย
โHeyyy!โ You said a little too loudly for it to be believable, โhow was your day?โ
Luckily for you, Mark was too exhausted that he didnโt catch on to your tone.
โTiring, but we got a lot done todayโ the boy mumbled as he flopped onto his bed. โBut I donโt wanna talk about work.โ
โNo?โ You mused
โNo,โ Mark pouted and held his arms out, โI wanna cuddle my baby and take a napโ
You couldnโt say no to that, you smiled and settled in the warm arms of your boyfriend. You tried to relax yourself with the sound of Markโs steady heartbeat, but the thought of Markโs reaction to what you had done caused your breathing to quicken and your eyebrows to furrow.
โCanโt you sleep, babe?โ Mark mumbled. Oh god, you thought, Mark could always tell when you felt uneasy.
โMm-mmโ you replied softly as you shook your head
โAwe, my baby,โ the dusty-blonde cooed as he sat up. โWant me to play you a lilโ smnโ to send you off to sleep?โ
If your heart wasnโt currently beating out of your chest, you wouldโve found Markโs words endearing and agreed- instead you said:
โNO!โ You erupted and sat up immediately, โI mean- no, thanks. If you start playing then weโll just have another karaoke sessionโ you smiled, in turn making the boy across from you giggle.
Mark nodded and open his blankets for you to snuggle under with him, you buried your head in his chest as you forced your eyes shut. Go to sleep, y/n. Just fall asleep, everything will be fine if you just-
โBaby, is something wrong?โ
โUh- no, w-what makes you say that?โ You spluttered back
โY/n, I can feel you shaking and you sound like youโre about to cry. I know somethings bothering you.. you donโt have to tell me but I want to know if somethings upsetting you- or if Iโm upsetting youโ
You took a shaky breath as Mark moved away from you and gazed at you in bewilderment, eyes laced with concern as he gently wiped a stray tear from your cheek.
It was that, that broke you. You broke down into tears and uncontrollable sobs as your hands flew over your face, Markโs eyebrows furrowing as he sat up and pulled you into his lap.
It took several minutes of Mark gently rubbing his hand up and down your back for you to calm your heaving breaths, his soft whispers of affirmations bringing you back to earth as he consoled you.
โNow.. why are we crying, baby?โ
โI..Iโm so sorry, Mark. I promise I didnโt mean it, if you donโt wanna see me anymore I completely understand but just know that Iโll always love you and-โ
โY/n, slow down.โ Markโs voice brought you out of your panicked speech as you gazed into his warm, brown eyes in a desperate attempt to ground yourself. โWhat are you sorry for?โ
You took a deep breath before admitting, โ..I broke your guitarโ you uttered out meekly, feeling tears well up again as a result of you admitting your antics out loud.
โOh baby,โ Mark let out a huge sigh of relief as he took both of your hands in his, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles, โyou had me really worried thereโ
โYouโre.. youโre not mad?โ
โAngel its just a guitar, youโre so much more important to meโ he reassured you as he pressed a kiss to the back of your hand. โIโm more upset that you got so worried because you were scared that Iโd be madโ
You sighed and shook your head, โMark, I know that guitar is important to you. I know that youโve had it since you were little.. I know that Iโd be devastated if I were you, Iโd probably never speak to me again.โ
The boy before you took you in his arms once again and settled beneath the blankets. He cupped your face as if you could shatter at any second.
โBabygirl/boy I can take the guitar to the shop to get fixed.. or just get another one. There are a million guitars in the world, but thereโs only one of youโ
~ epilogue ~
โSo, babe, how exactly did you break my guitar?โ
It was at that very moment your eyes widened and you spat your orange juice out during breakfast the day after your musical shenanigans.
โI uh-โ
โYou broke Markโs guitar?โ Asked a shocked Jaehyun, โMark has had that guitar for 4 years and even he hasnโt broke it.. Iโm weirdly impressed but.. how did you break it?โ
All nine pairs of eyes turned to you before you winced and admitted:
โSo I may or may not have been dancing around in your room pretending I was a performer when I may have possibly... accidentally.. smashedhisguitarintoawallwhenispunaroundโ
Itโs safe to say you never heard the end of that story from the other boys- especially your boyfriend.

Plot: The boys had a day off during their world tour and decided to take the night off in a nearby pub. The boys settled around a table, laughing and drinking, spreading little anecdotes from the chaos of Hyunjinโs experience with the hotelโs shower this morning. Suddenly they heard the most beautiful voice coming from a dimly lit stage, and they look over immediately.
โฉ ๐น๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐
He almost whipped his head around fast enough to get whiplash. His eyes laid on you as you swayed around the small stage, singing your heart out while having fun- you grabbed almost everyoneโs attention in the small pub. Chan slowly put his drink down and watched until the end of our performance with his chin laying on his palm in awe, he didnโt know why, but he had to know you.
Sassy Min was rolling his eyes at Hyunjinโs dramatic recalling of this morning when he rolled his eyes over to you. He felt the world stop spinning when he laid eyes on the most gorgeous treasure heโd ever seen. Before you left the stage, he hastily stood up from the table and made a beeline towards you, startling you when he came charging your way with a stone-cold expression.
โUh.. hello, could I help you?โ
โHi, Iโm Minho, this might sound weird but- could I get your number?โ
โฉ ๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The only excuse I could give for Binnieโs behaviour is that he was drunk? He felt like he fell in love the moment he saw you. Once you finished, he stood up from the table and wobbled his way over to you. Alcohol rushing through his system, he marched straight up to you and leant his elbow on the table you were packing your things into your bag on. He slipped off and banged his elbow back into place, making you jump and look up.
โHey gorgeous, the names Changbin, you know I rap in a like.. super-famous k-pop group. We should duet some time, you know?โ
**que Changbin leaning to shake your hand and tripping over his own feet in front of you**
Jinnie literally stopped in the middle of his rant about how he was attacked by the shower head that morning. The few members that were listening to him scurried behind him so that he could see what he was staring so intensely at. A chorus of โooh~โ and โHyunjinnie has a crush~โ erupted from behind him. When you finished your performance, the rest of the 2000 line rushed him towards you. While packing your things into your bag, you looked up to see three smirking boys- and one who appeared as if heโd seen a ghost.
โUh- I- youโre really pretty and talented! Wait- no! I mean Iโm not saying youโre not but- this is weird Iโm really sorryโ
โHi, my name is Jisung, and this is Hyunjin and he has a crush on youโ
โHAN JISUNG-โ
โฉ โ๐๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ฆ๐๐
Looking back on this story, Jisung claims to be too out of it to remember doing what he did. Without a word, he completely abandoned the boys at their table and took a seat at the table closest to the stage you were singing on. He employed himself as your back-up singer and started to ad-lib your performance, smiling widely when he caught you giggle in his direction.
When you finished your song, he jumped on the stage with you, screaming โthank you! Thank you! Weโll be here all night!โ Although he didnโt see the corner of the pub where the boys were a mess. They were crying, laughing, face-palming and Minho was stifling his laugh as he recorded the entire situation. Unable to wait until Jisung saw this sober.
โฉ ๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ฉ
He was clearly very busy doubling over in laughter at Hyunjinโs misery when he heard a slight shuffle in the background, although he didnโt mind it. Although when Changbin turned around too fast and ending up knocking the Laughing Lixieโข๏ธ on the floor. Normally, Lix wouldโve immediately picked himself up off of the floor but he ended up looking sideways at someone, you, start to sing a ballad with full vibrato. He ended up staying on the floor till the end of your performance, afraid that if he moved he would disturb you, his members were concerned.
โฉ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐
He was probably the smartest out of all the members when it came to this situation. He excused himself from the table, saying his needed the bathroom but he was a man on a mission. He came across a clipboard with a list of people who would be performing at certain times, he checked his phone for the time and smirked before grabbing a pen.
While you were packing your things a chestnut-haired boy approached you and you looked around to see if he was staring at you.
โHello, are you y/n y/l/n? I think we got randomly signed up to perform a duet inโ he paused to check the time on his phone. โ-now. Well, it would be a shame to waste the time slot, wouldnโt you say?โ
He turned around, eyes shining as he stared at you while you sang your heart out, engaging with the crowd during the upbeat song. Hyunjin tapped his shoulder repeatedly asking if he was listening to his horror shower story, to which he absentmindly hummed a response. Hyunjinโs eyebrows furrowed at the lack of reply and looked in your direction, the direction Jeongin kept stealing glances, he pouted and swept Jeongin up in his arms and ran out of the pub.
โWHO SAID YOUโRE ALLOWED TO HAVE A CRUSH YET?โ
โHyung, Iโm TWENTYโ
โTHE ONLY PERSON YOUโRE ALLOWED TO HAVE A CRUSH ON IS ME. NOW WEโRE GOING BACK TO THE HOTEL SO I CAN AGGRESSIVELY CUDDLE YOU.โ
