word count: 4.7k

Love Shot Mafia Series

The atypical mafia troop EXO was formed in the disguise of a modeling agency, in which eight young handsome men use their charms and sly tactics to deceive the aristocracy. Through the practice of their lucrative methods of pulling off heists and discretely eliminating their competition, they are able to make a name for themselves, and rise as the most prestigious agency in Korea. But what happens when an intruder discovers the dark secrets and intentions of EXO, intentionally or not?

A collective series of one-shots (all x reader) featuring the EXO members as mafia gang members. Inspired by the latest comeback, Love Shot, of course.

Night shifts were too agonizing for you; your back would ache from the long hours of standing, and eventually start to slouch due to your bad habits and lack of proper exercise. Your boss wouldn’t let you sit down as you worked the cash register, already scolding you once without reasoning, until you did it again and he started to berate you with a lecture of how unprofessional you would look, portraying the store in a bad manner. Even then, you remained silent during his lecture, biting your tongue back from revealing the sarcastic snides running through your head, like the fact that this was a gas station convenience store, and not some high class restaurant.

No matter, you were grateful of the pay and what the job entailed. You simply had to stock items here and there, and assist customers when they would come in to pay with cash, or when they picked up a quick snack. Along with the location you worked at, which was relatively isolated from the closest well populated city, it meant that the workload and customer interactions would only be way less.

To your pleasure, things ran quite smoothly for the first two month. You played mini games on your phone to pass the time and not fall asleep from boredom. As a college student, you were very much used to staying up late, but it certainly didn’t help that the white LED lights of the store were sleep inducing because of your straining eyes begging to close. You managed to never let it happen, though, as you were well aware of the security cameras set up for your boss to review later and instantly fire you if you were caught for the third time.

It was a Friday night when the first strange encounter with a particular customer occurred. Your friend had invited you out to a dessert shop, but you had to decline because you wanted to pick up the extra shift. So from 10 PM-5AM, you were stuck by yourself yet again…or so you thought.

Three o’ clock rolled around, which you took notice of from the clock on your phone, and you let a sigh escape your chapped lips, before purposefully releasing the ugliest yawn you could muster. You lean against the counter top, palm raising up your cheek, as you stared down the aisles. Your vision was starting to blur and get hazy, and before you knew it, your eyes had been closed for 5 seconds too long. But the distance muffled noises of a vehicle was approaching your hearing, and although you were in the state of zoning out, you were became immediately alert and hyper aware as soon as the sound reached your ears. You sprang up from your slump, hands sticking to your sides. For once, you thanked god that there was a customer, otherwise you would’ve definitely fallen asleep.

You watch from your register as a man on a motorocycle pulled up to one of the filling stations, the rumbling of their engine sounding erratic, as if it was quite low on fuel and quite literally about to run out. The man on the bike hopped off, his stature quite intimidating from your position, as the dimmed lighting of the station made him appear as a tall, dark shadow. However, his long legs were taking him over to you, and not to the station to start filling up the bike. As he came closer, his striding figure was illuminated by the lights inside the store, and you were able to examine him. He was dressed rather peculiar, in merely an all black attire consisting of a leather jacket and denim jeans, within the dead cold of the night surprisingly. You could barely make out his expression because his dark greasy hair was hiding most of his face, aside from a his lips that were parted and cracked. His abs, which were of great detail, were certainly not hidden nor shy, as it the sweat accumulating all over his chest shone under the glaring lights.

You start unintentionally sweating, not willing to admit to yourself that you were very much intimidated. You always heard of horror stories of employees that worked night shifts, especially those who worked at convenience stores. But you felt more assured that your fears were valid when the customer had caught your eye on his way to the entrance of the store, and never looked away until he was directly in front of you.

Towering over the counter, causing you to lean back slowly so he wouldn’t be able to tell that you were frightened, he pants heavily and asks, “You work here?”

You hesitate, looking up to him, wavering eye contact between his two pupils. His stare was sharp and cold, almost lethal at this level of proximity.

“Well?” His voice is coarse, and he has to clear his throat. He eyes your nametag as you answer him back.

“Uh, yeah?”

The customer looks back up to meet your eyes, his focus solely fixated on you. Out of nowhere, he suddenly breaks into a smile.

“Can I borrow some money?”

You freeze. What an oddly polite way to rob a store.

“E-Excuse me?” You manage to answer back, still confused as to what his intentions were.

“You know, money. I don’t ever carry cash, and I left my card at home. I swear I’ll repay you. Just this once help a guy out please!” The man starts to plead with you in a daringly innocent manner. You really would’ve thought it was cute and tried to warm up to him if it weren’t for the fact that he still looked like a he just came back from a turf war.

Out of fear, you run inside to the staff room, where the man assumes you’re going to get the money he’s asking for, as he calls out “Five dollars please!”. You hide behind one of the walls once you entered, where he wouldn’t be able to see you. You stand motionless for several seconds, contemplating your decisions, before ultimately deciding to give the man what he wanted so he would leave you alone later. He wasn’t exactly threatening you or anything, and you didn’t really mind sparing the five dollars that you were supposed to have used today on delicious cakes. The thought was bittersweet; just because you didn’t have the perfect day you wanted doesn’t mean you should bring his day down.

You fished out five dollars from your purse, and then rushed back out to make sure he wasn’t actually a thief trying to take advantage of your kindness and steal behind your back. Luckily, he was still there, arms crossed, but a wide grin still present on his face. It surprisingly grew wider at the view of the crisp bill in your fingertips.

When you handed him the bill, he held it as if it was the most sacred treasure in the world.

“You ever think about how money runs the world?”

You were caught off guard by his question, wondering why he would ask such a thing as he stared at the bill longingly.

“Sure, but if that’s how the world runs, then I got to make sure I make ends meet.” You reply, a hint of snarkiness apparent in your tone, to which the stranger snickered at.

“You’re an interesting one. Here, I’d like to pay for gas and a snack.” He hands back the bill to you, and you give him a puzzled look.

“What snack, exactly? I need to know the price.”

The customer scans his surroundings briefly until he lands on a particular food item, which was a chip packet. He seems to not have read the label carefully, but picks it up anyways, and throws it onto the counter without hesitation.

“This one, exactly.” The cockiness in his tone is well matched to your early remark. You don’t question it and quickly ring him up, to which he throws his hands into his front pocket and smirks. When you look up to give him his change, his gaze has shifted and he looks innocent again, gladly accepting the small amount of change with a bow and murmur of repetitive “thank you’s”.

You think you were rid of him finally once he was leaving your presence, but a sense of fear fills your being when he turns around and greets you goodbye:

“I’ll be back soon!”

EXO Love Shot: Shoot Out (Mafia!Kai x Reader)

warning: mentions of violence, gun, slight gore

word count: 6.3k

Love Shot Mafia Series

the first installment in my Love Shot mafia au series!! i decided to do kai first bc we can all agree that he killed it this era. enjoy!

A collective series of one-shots (all x reader) featuring the EXO members as mafia gang members. Inspired by the latest comeback, Love Shot, of course.

Being the manager of a modeling agency was never a training requirement you had undergone, as you were mostly experienced in solely companies that dealt with finance and health care. Most of your clients were middle aged to senior citizens, whom you were fond of and close to several of the families you worked with. Your sweet and caring demeanor stood out among all the other employees in your field, allowing you to excel in your position, which is how you were granted the position at EXO Agencies. Your reputation had spread and caught the attention of the agency for some reason, but you didn’t complain. In fact, you were elated. EXO Agencies was a prestigious and reputable company itself, founded by eight young men with merely college degrees, and as the press would call it, a “passion for fashion”. Their values and motto for fashion and an overall lifestyle did align with your own, including the importance of expressing fashion and makeup as an art form that anyone of any gender or race could participate in. In the interviews you would occasionally read, they portrayed a humble and honest nature, one you appreciated.

So you accepted the offer for a job interview when it came to you.

“But Y/N, I thought you’re happy at your current job, no?”

You gently place your coffee mug down after taking a brief sip, and you woefully smile at your questioning friend sitting across from you.

“I was, Mina. It was a pleasant environment for sure, up until a while ago. My clients are amazing as ever, and I’ll still probably be in contact with some of them and visit their families from time to time, since I’ve been managing their accounts and such for so long. But as for my coworkers…” You pause to sigh and roll your eyes.

Mina purses her lips and furrows her brows. She sweeps her hair back and off her shoulder, visibly annoyed, “It’s that stupid foreigner transfer, Claire, isn’t it?”

You had already told Mina about your troubles with Claire specifically, a fairly new recruit that had completely ruined your work experience. She had spread rumours and false lies about you that threatened your reputation. At times like this, you weren’t afraid to confront her directly, so you did. Luckily, she stopped, and your boss was eventually notified of her spreading misinformation, so it shouldn’t have been affecting you anymore, but it somehow still did.

“The coworkers ignore me still. I know I shouldn’t care, but I lost the respect and friendships I once had with them. Long story short, now work is just lackluster, especially since I don’t even see my clients everyday. It’s bittersweet, really.”

Mina hums in agreement, placing her cheek against the knuckle of her right hand. Her draws circle on the table with the index finger of her left hand, “Yeah, I can definitely relate. I’m just ready to finish my apartment lease and then get the hell out so I can find a different job.” Mina worked a minimum wage job, but not in anything entertaining. It was a gas station, the total opposite of somewhere someone like Mina would be found working at.

“I know EXO is a huge upgrade from my work now, but since it’s more fashion oriented, and I know that’s your kinda style, why don’t you come with me? I’ll be moving into an apartment closer to the agency headquarters, and we can live together and you can be like, my assistant or something.”

Mina’s eyes lit up at the offer, even though she knew she had to turn it down, “No no, Y/N, you know I can’t. Besides, they offered this job to you only, not a lowly gas girl like me.” You giggled at her joke, but shook your head at her rejection, “I’m sure I can talk a deal with them. I spoke to the CEO about my interview and he seemed really sweet, I’m sure he would understand. Besides, there’s no other employee besides the guy themselves. Like literally no one. Hiring one other person couldn’t hurt them.”

Mina hesitantly stares off into the distance, “I don’t want to be troubling you, though. I’ll feel so guilty.”

“Mina, we’ve known each other for how long and you think you’re gonna trouble me? You think I’ll complain about living with one of my best friends?” You reason, trying to persuade her.

Mina pauses for a moment before answering, “Okay, if you’re cool with it and all.”

“Yay!! I love you!” You rejoice, and hold your palms out for her to clasp her hands with. Mina giggles at your reaction.

“Besides, I do need someone who at least has experience in fashion and all that shit.”

“Oh wow, so you’re just using me now?” Mina asks jokingly.

You take your mug up to your lips, hiding the smug look on your face and wiggle your eyebrows, “Maybe.” To which Mina chuckles and rolls her eyes.

Mina’s lease ended by the time you finished signing the contract on your new apartment in the city where you where to start your new life and job in. You had been helping Mina pack her belongings into boxes on your off-time from work, looking forward to the job interview. When the day came, you were quite ecstatic and confident, since it was your skills and work ethic that you had worked so hard to build up that allowed you to be where you were now. You were sure they would hire you, and oh, what an accomplishment it would be to be the first outsider to be an employee, yet alone a manager, at EXO Agencies. You imagined all the press interviews and news releases about you, along with your increase in pay for working at a multi-million dollar company, and you tried to suppress the ego you had already been growing.

When you arrived in your taxi, they pulled up directly in front of the building, which was one of the tallest skyscrapers among the others in the city. You walked towards the entrance, guards surrounding almost the entire premise. When you reached the grand sliding doors, one of them approaches you and asks for your name and ID. You momentarily question all the heavy security as you fish out your belongings from your purse, but don’t bother to ask anything of it as the female guard examines your ID. She hands back your ID with a strict but polite smile and allows you to go through. You walk inside, and immediately are greeted with the thundering echos of your heels against the marble flooring. The lobby was not as flashy as you expected, rather it had a modern and sleek appearance, one you would find on an interior design magazine. There were, however, large posters cascading down the walls on the side, each of them being full body shots of the eight men in formal attire, with their name digitally added in a fancy cursive font at the bottom. You paused to try and examine each one, but are interrupted by the sound of a male clearing their throat. You turn to look at who was trying to get your attention, and you recognize it as Suho, the CEO whom you spoke with on the phone. He’s dressed as you would expect a CEO to look, suit and all, hair combed back neatly to reveal his bold facial features.

“Trying to memorize our names, I assume?” Suho strides over towards you and extends his arm out, his charming and witty personality exuding from his jest.

“Of course not, how am I supposed to be hired if I don’t know the eight names of the men running this entire place.” You reply warmly, and take his hand to shake, to which Suho chuckles.

“Very nice to meet you, Miss L/N. I’m looking forward to having you as our most greatest asset in our company.” He says as you both shake hands, but you give him a questioning glance.

“Wait, are you saying I already got the job?”

Suho smiles broadly and nods, letting go of your hand to gesture for you to come follow him, “Yes, but come follow me. We have other business to discuss, like your transfer over to EXO and job duties, as well as your salary.” You smirk to yourself when he mentions the last word, which he doesn’t catch as he’s already walking in front of you.

You follow him up the spiraling staircase, which was positioned right next to all the posters, and you continue to study them as you walk up. When you reach the second floor, it’s mostly vacant and dark, but most of the area being office cubicles that were empty. He passes by the area and leads you to one of the bigger office rooms that were surrounding all the cubicles. The room was empty, except for a single manila folder placed on the desk, and two chairs. He flicks the light switch on and gestures for you to sit on the chair, and he goes around the desk to sit in his seat. Suho takes the folder and opens it up, revealing several papers, each with large headlines with words you caught, including “Monthly Salary”, “Clothing Distribution”, and “Media”. However, one file slips out from the very end of the pile, and you catch the words “take down of mafia 268″. You assume the mafia thing was a concept of one of their photoshoots, and wouldn’t be surprised of, based on their previous work of edgy themes. Suho is quick to slip the file back under the pile and rearrange it so that the files he needed you to see would be facing you. He discretely takes the file out while you are focused on the ones that were infront of you, and soundlessly crumples it from under the desk.

“So, you’re being hired as the corporate manager, and your duties range from handling and booking the photoshoots, reaching out to companies for collaborations, ordering the clothes, jewelry and anything else, as well as escorting us to any shows or business meetings. Oh, and especially finances, since that is you’re specialization.” Suho explains, his hands folded over the files. He then removes his hand off of them to allow you to read them, and you take the one that outlines your specific jobs as the corporate manager, reading everything that Suho had just clarified. You nod as you quickly skim the list, and put the file back down.

“Along with this, the pay you will be receiving will be five times the amount you had been earning at your previous company.” Your lips twitched into a smile, but you tried to hide it as to not let Suho suspect anything of you regarding being money driven.

“Any objections, questions, concerns?” Suho inquires.

“Just one,” You exhale a sigh,” I have one request.”

Suho leans back in his chair, motioning for you to continue speaking, “Go ahead.”

“I have a very close friend of mine who is very educated in the fashion industry, and I want her to be my assistant. Her line of work in the past has been the most relevant to what your agency is doing right now, and I believe that with her help, she can be very helpful and also guide me, since this would essentially be a huge learning curve for me.”

Suho’s gaze had remained on the files as you spoke, but he made a sharp glance at you after you stopped, “You must be well aware of what kinda of company we are, right Miss L/N?”

The tone in his voice had switched from cordial to stern, which you took note of and started to regret your request. But you decided to probe further, since this was a promise you made for Mina.

“Yes, I am. You are a very unique organization, I may call it. It’s very closed off, yet one of the most important influencing agencies in the industry. But I’m only making this request, as someone who is knowledgeable in this career of managing businesses, I know that hiring this person will truly benefit you in the end.” You state confidently, defending your position at all costs.

“I appreciate the confidence,” Suho replies, and you assume he’s going to reject your request, “and since you’re now the manager, you have the right to hire anyone you please.”

In shock, you gape at his answer. You really thought he was going to turn you down, or even fire you will it was still early in the process.

Suho notices your perplexity and leans forward and over the desk, “We are entrusting you with a lot now, Miss L/N. What you have to worry about now is not disappointing us.” He pats the files and grabs a stray pen from the side of the desk, and slides it to you. You take the hint, and start to sign your name onto every file, sealing your fate into the most bizarre conspiracy you have ever come across in your life.

A week after you met with Suho, you were expected to start working. You were emailed a location, date, and time to meet the EXO members and begin introductions, as well as learning how to manage their schedules and etcetera. It’s wasn’t the same address as the skyscraper building, which you guessed was the headquarter, so you assumed this new place was some sort of warehouse. Mina had officially moved in, although both of your belongings hadn’t quite yet, and the two of you were in the process of helping each other unpack and settle in to the new place. Mina was more than happy to learn that you had rented a studio apartment with a view of the city, but when she voiced her concern about the money you were spending, you reassured her that you wanted to spend a little, since you were now going to be earning big time. The two of you had agreed that some of Mina’s earnings could just go through you in order to pay for the apartment, You had originally suggested for her to pay less, since she was your friend after all, but Mina didn’t want to feel like she was using her friend’s kindness, and demanded that you cut some of her profits from EXO and just put it into your own.

“Is it crazy that I work under you now?” Mina asks as you both step into the taxi to head over to the location to meet EXO. You close the door and buckle your seat belt up, before facing her, “Yeah, but it’s not like I’m gonna treat you any differently.”

Mina grins, “I know.”

You arrive to a rather large building that seemed like a convention center. It was not on a busy street, and the area was rather secluded, and on the outskirts of the city.

“They sure do like their privacy a whole lot.” Mina snickers as you both exit the taxi, eyes glued onto the building.

“You do realize that we’re a part of the ‘they’ now, right?” You comment.

“You have a point. Guess we get to know all their secrets now.”

LMFAOOO IM CRYING AT THIS COMMENTARY/REACTION AND YOUR TAGS HAHAHHAHAJFKGH

coffee-and-kpop

E’Dawn

↳ Pentagon x Mafia AU

o t h e r m e m b e r s

the interrogator

can literally get answers out of anybody

he honestly loves his job

r e a l l y loves it

give him anyone

and he can crack them.

Hui was initially impressed by E’Dawn’s brutal skills,

and gave him a position in the gang after he watched E’Dawn crack someone not even Hui himself could get to.

E’Dawn was a high school drop out,

never cared out grades or the petty drama

he was an outcast

and he always carried around so much anger,

mainly directed at his deadbeat, boarder-line abusive dad

So when he dropped out, he moved out of his house, too

Homeless, he knew exactly where he was going;

E’Dawn had heard rumors of the Seoul mafia before, knew how powerful they were,

how well off and comfortable their lives were,

and that’s exactly what he wanted.

E’Dawn is ruthless, and that’s exactly what kind of member Hui needed:

someone who would go to an lengths to get the information he needed for his boss

In return for his services, E’Dawn’s life went from rags to lavish riches.

He was having the time of his life,

beating enemies to a bloody pulp until they coughed up their confessions.

And then he met Hyuna.

He’d split his knuckles pretty badly after a particularly long interrogation session with a rival gang member who’d stolen quite a hefty amount of cocaine from Yanan and hidden it

so Hui had directed him to the uptown urgent care in Hongdae to get stitched up

Supposedly Hui had a contact there that helped out whenever a member of the mafia was hurt

what E’Dawn didn’t expect was that the contact was a girl

The Most Beautiful Girl He’d Ever Seen.

She stitched him up quickly and sent him on his way

and ever since that day,

he’d been finding all sorts of reasons to get hurt

Hell, he’d even gone to see Hyuna for a “headache” once.

Basically, the moment he’d laid eyes on the doctor,

he knew she was the one for him

and he’d do absolutely anything to get her

And somehow, amidst all of his ‘injuries’, E’Dawn had been able to charm Hyuna

They’d fallen in love, hard and fast

E’Dawn had tried to keep it a secret for so long;

having loved ones was one of the biggest weaknesses a person could have in the mafia.

But, Hui figured it out pretty fast,

and tried to warn E’Dawn away from the relationship:

it wasn’t safe for Hyuna to be so closely involved with someone from the mafia

especially someone as dangerous, and with as many enemies, as E’Dawn had acquired.

If someone ever wanted to come after E’Dawn, they’d come for Hyuna

and the two of them new that; they knew the risks

But they couldn’t deny the way they felt

And E’Dawn knew he’d do absolutely ANYTHING to protect his girl

He’d kill any number of people for her

He’d die himself, if it meant keeping her out of harm’s way.

So they carried on that way:

The Interrogator and the Doctor.

E’Dawn tried to keep his ‘work’ life away from Hyuna as much as possible;

she knew what he did, but he wanted to keep her from knowing exactly what he did to people as much as possible

He was a monster

He’d beaten people until past the point of recognizability

He’d tortured people in the most brutal ways possible for information for Hui,

and he’d never felt a thing.

Not remorse, nothing. He didn’t feel anything

But Hyuna,

Hyuna made him feel.

And so,

despite the dangers and the horrors of being with someone in the mafia,

all of which he expressed explicitly to her,

E’Dawn stayed, and so did Hyuna;

they would never leave each other’s sides, no matter what the mafia life threw at them

ten ♡ season greetings 2019

warmau

{Special} College!AU Jungwoo

major: library sciences + information

minor: entomology (much to ten’s horror)

sports: was invited to the soccer team by yuta, but he’d rather play it for fun not for competition. likes to go to yoga - tries to get a grumpy taeil to go with him

clubs: showed up to chinese culture club so he could see sicheng - who kicked him out after three minutes, him and yuta both go to earth coalition meetings because they like nature, and sometimes jungwoo will pop by the conspiracy club to hear people ramble about aliens (he thinks they’re cool)

jungwoo tends to confuse students who arent his close friends because,,,,,,

he’s really really kind and affectionate - but he also seems like he’s always stuck in some kind of daydream too

like he’ll be in class, and he’ll be able to answer questions and take tests

but his voice is so cushiony soft and fluttery that it seems almost like he’s answering in some soft pink haze

or maybe that’s just his aura

it’s so ?????

but his friends know that ,,,, that’s just how jungwoo is

he’s incredibly open and relaxed - never anxious about anything but also,,,,,never really cautious either

so it’s natural for him to walk into things - or say whatever it is that crosses his mind

like the amount of times he’s just randomly said “i love you” outloud to taeil? doyoung? jaehyun?

like on public transit or in front of literal professors

everyone getting into a frenzy because wait - wait you love yuta??? and yuta waving his hands around like nO nO he means it like friends like it’s just what he says

there have been many rumors about jungwoo and like,,,,every member of nct on campus

but also it’s not just nct - jungwoo is just naturally touchy - naturally inclined to show his appreciation with little nudges and batting eyelashes

and he was born to flirt really

not in a,,,,,,,, pick you up kind of way or a sleazy ‘let me slide into the dms’ kind of way

just,,,,,,,a kind of enchanting way

that makes people feel all warm and cared for ,,,,, his handsome face and soft voice makes you feel like you’ve just been hugged by the worlds softest teddy bear

his major is library sciences because ,,, everyone agrees ,,, it matches him pretty well

archiving, reading, and helping others all are things jungwoo enjoys doing

because it’s not dramatic at all - it’s systematic and having a routine soothes jungwoo

plus his tall, slim figure in a grandpa sweater and some cute big framed glasses librarian-chic circa the 80s,,,,,,,,he’d be so cute c’mon

is that friend who gets books down from the top shelf and hands them to haechan with a smile

and haechan is clutching the book like “give me your legs. let me be 5′11.”

jungwoo: what

haechan: nothing. long legs. dont look at me.

because he’s also a nature fan - everything from mountain hikes to visiting public gardens

he’s not afraid of bugs

at all

taeyong has on several occasions texted him to come get a spider out of his dorm

and everytime, you know jungwoo does the thing where he puts the paper under the spider and then a cup over it and releases it back outside

saying something like “live free, small one” while taeyong wide eyed beside him is like “don’t. come. back. bitch.” tgkdjflsk

so at first he just took some classes from the entomology minor for fun - until he sorta accidentally completed all the credits for it anyway

so that’s why he just added it on at the end of the sem like look guys i got a minor :)

ten: cool for what?!

jungwoo: bug studies :)

ten, one eye twitching: t-t-t-heres bu-bugs on c-campus

jungwoo got invited to a couple of sports teams - he’s pretty strong and pretty fit, but the whole aggressive competition of it puts jungwoo off

he’d rather just do something for fun, and really dislikes being forced to train or anything like that

took up yoga after reading one of sicheng’s textbooks and now he goes to student run classes - always trying to bring taeil along

because quote unquote - taeil’s tiny body is riddled with stress and maybe, possibly demonic energy

you bet he’s also the type to do an hour of yoga or go on a long walk and come back and eat like. everything from the cafeteria

and then steal some of johnny’s hidden snacks

and then on top of that ask lucas to buy him a milkshake

he’s a bottomless pit when it comes to his stomach,,,,it’s a scientific mystery

he’s got an ability to befriend anyone, although sometimes his need to cling on can be a bit much,,,,

poor jaehyun’s hand fell asleep when they all went to watch a movie and jungwoo just basically leaned all his weight onto him and jaehyun is too nice to say anything

but he’s also got a little bit of a problem,,,,,,,

he’s oblivious

completely and utterly oblivious

which is why it’s a headache and much more to have a crush on jungwoo

which you have had since hmmm let’s see oh right

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION

when you’d arrived late, panicked, with no one to sit with let alone anywhere to sit

since the auditorium was overflowing

till a tall boy with a gentle smile and matching voice took your wrist and asked

“would you like this seat?”

ever since then you’d dreamed of that moment - of the boy who’d sensed your absolute dread and embarrassment

and who let you sit down, while he stood in the aisle - hands in his pockets - barely listening to the whole welcome celebration

you had practically embedded jungwoo’s face into your mind

because he was in ever aspect - your type

your dreamy, prince with a heart made a gold

the only problem was,,,,,,,,,you were more than ready to confess but any attempt you made

was thwarted

not by rivals or even jungwoos friends - who all were cheering you on

(all of nct claimed you were basically as transparent as a window with your feelings - hearts swirling your head whenever jungwoo as much as blinked)

it was always jungwoo who just,,,,,could not grasp the situation for the life of him

like that time you had been invited out to the seasonal fair and jaehyun and yuta pulled you aside on the way there

whispering eagerly that they’d hatched a plan to get you and jungwoo alone during one of the firework celebrations

you’d felt your heart race - almost burst from your chest

but you were thankful that his friends seemed just as excited for you

and when jaehyun had “casually” told everyone - but you and jungwoo - to follow him over to the food stands

you had hesitated, but turned to tell jungwoo there was something you needed to say

he’d looked down, eyes a soft autumn brown

“we’re all alone”

“y-yeah,,,,,,i think this might be my chance to tell you that i like-”

the gigantic bursting noise from the first firework had made it hard for your already shaking and tiny voice to have been heard

jungwoo, distracted by it, had just marveled up at the colors in the night sky

and pointed them out

“you should tell me after the fireworks, i couldnt hear you well”

“ok,,”

but that didn’t happen,,,,not when right after the ceremony ended - jungwoo had spotted taeil in the crowd and pulled you along toward him

yuta and jaehyun, when meeting up later, could tell by the dejected look on your face that nothing went as planned

and you just shrugged it off - there would be more times,,,,,,hopefully

and there were

they just always ended up badly

like when you’d tried to give jungwoo valentines chocolates with a hand written love letter but the box - having been in your bag the whole day - had melted all over the letter

making it unreadable and sticky

or when taeyong had offered you to be jungwoo’s tutor for this elective he had to take

and you showed up diligently everyday to the library for a week - till jungwoo announced one day through text that he’d been switched into a much easier class

you had even once written “i like you so much” on his cast when he’d had to wear it after an accident in the library

and jungwoo had read it - in front of you - smiled up and said

“what a nice thing to say to a friend”

at some point you’d just,,,,,,,come to terms with the fact that either jungwoo really couldnt take a hint or that he was trying the nicest ways to reject you

which hurt,,,,,but you tried to cheer yourself up with the sentiment that at least you got to be his friend

and through liking him you’d gotten to make even more friends with the great guys of nct

but everytime you were alone - studying your textbook or working on a project

and you’d find yourself thinking back to orientation

jungwoo’s touch on your skin, his voice echoing in your ears, the natural feeling of consideration and sweetness that shone off of him like diamonds

it made you grip your pen a little to hard, because the memory - instead of filling you to the brim with bliss like it used

now just,,,,,,,left you feeling like something sharp had wedged its way into your chest

whats worse was,,,,,because you’d always been one to wear your emotions on your sleeve

everyone knew you were hurting

even though you put in all the effort to hide it

taeyong had come to calling your smiles forced and even sicheng, who liked to keep his nose out of other peoples emotional businesses, had patted your back whenever jungwoo was around

whispering that you just had to keep strong

yuta and jaehyun, who’d you grown close to, and who also knew jungwoo well

were the most sympathetic

“i just,,,,i dont think he’s rejecting you”

yuta would insist and you’d just slump foreward

“then what? he really doesnt know? i could shout it from the liberal arts building rooftop and he’d still think i was joking,,,”

jaehyun sighs

“i cant tell, but i dont think you should give up. not until jungwoo either gives you a straight answer or ,,,,,,,, he just starts dating someone else”

at this, yuta perks up, his already mischievous features curling up into a grin

“hey - that’ right! jungwoo hasnt ever expressed interest in anyone else!”

“doesn’t he just,,,,,show love to everyone? i think it’d be hard to tell who he doesnt like ,,,,,”

you mutter, feeling the dark cloud of one-sided feelings cast heavy over your shoulders

“i mean,,,he’s nice and affectionate - but in a puppy kind of way. like he’ll give attention to those around him, but it’s never you know - it’s never romantic.”

you want to tell yuta and jaehyun that it’s fine. you need to sulk and then you’ll really pick yourself up and it’ll be fine

but neither of them look like they’re going to have it - and to be honest neither of them look like they believe you’ll get over it

because your love for jungwoo comes from the most pure place

and a love like that is hard to come by

maybe they just pity me or maybe they just want jungwoo to get a significant other to focus on

you think, huffing out a sigh

“hey i think there’s one way we can find out if jungwoo’s interested!”

your eyes dart up to meet yuta’s

jaehyun clasps his hands and gives his friend a look as well

“every semester the college campus votes for superlatives right? and one of them is cutest couple! the prize is like a two hundred dollar shopping coupon too - we should ask jungwoo if he’ll enter with you!”

you shoot up and shake your head - putting your hands out

“yuta we can’t just ask jungwoo to pretend to be my boyfriend!”

“yeah yuta,,,,,,that might not be the best way to find out jungwoo’s true fee-”

but yuta is dead set, he takes his phone out and hums as he scrolls through his contacts

clicking on one his fingers fly across his phone keyboard

and in a matter of seconds there’s a notification

you and jaehyun lean over to see

‘huh i didn’t know jungwoo was dating - but sure, ill put them in as a couple. im going to need their picture though, for the voting.’

‘no worries!! one of our buddies is a film major who will take some and ill send them your way!’

‘ok, so jungwoo and-’

your eyes widen when you see your name

and yuta closes his phone before you can sink back down into your seat

and jaehyun looks worriedly between you two

“no all we have to do is tell jungwoo! ill do that - jaehyun, go get johnny. we need our photographer!”

you feel something between adrenaline and anxiety when jungwoo walks through the door and into johnnys room

yuta jumps up before you can even greet jungwoo

and throws a hand around his friend

“listen - we all really want that coupon and you make the cutest couple so - let’s do our best to win, yeah?!”

jungwoo doesnt really acknowledge him

he more or less fixes his gaze on you

and it makes you feel hot under the collar of your shirt

“are you ok with this? if it makes you uncomfortable, we shouldnt do it.”

he says, calm and gentle

you want to say; are you kidding? couple posing with you? this is my dream,,,,,,,,

but at the same time it feels so weird ,,,, doing this,,,,, for fake

“johnny get your camera, let’s get the two lovebirds ready~”

yuta drags jungwoo off before you can answer

and johnny turns to you with his nikon

“i think you’d be better of just asking jungwoo out than going through all this trouble.”

“ive tried asking him out,,,,it always backfires,,,”

you mumble and johnny shrugs

“well you know i love drama and i can smell it on this situation, c’mon lets go take photos with your boyfriend”

your heart pounds inside your chest at the word

jungwoo? my boyfriend? if only that were true

yuta picks some secluded part of the campus for the photos

there are nicely lined trees in the back and jungwoo looks over at you when you sort of hunch over

“i know they want the coupon, but i would rather you tell me if this is too much-”

he voices his concern again and you shake your head

“no no, im fine. are you?”

he blinks a bit before letting his handsome face glow with a smile

“sure, if you are ok - so am i.”

yuta positions himself beside johnny, proclaiming that he knows what will make you and jungwoo look like a realiistic couple

when jungwoo looks down to fix his shoes, yuta winks your way and mouths

‘this will totally work’

but you,,,,,,,,dont feel so sure

the first poses are pretty innocent and sweet

holdings hands while looking up at the sky, a shot of you and jungwoo sharing a laugh, a pose where jungwoo is reaching out to touch your cheek

but then yuta gets,,,devilish

“back hug them!”

“why don’t you pretend like you’re leaning in for a kiss and then put your hand out to block it!”

“oh oh lets have you sit in jungwoo’s lap!”

the last one almost sets you (quite literally) on fire

“yuta that’s too mu-”

but jungwoo is sitting down on a bench nearby, motioning that you can join him

you stare down and jungwoo gives another comforting smile

but then he says

“it’s just for the picture, don’t worry”

and suddenly this whole charade, this whole dream moment for you just shatters

this is all fake. he feels nothing toward me.

“i cant”

you cast your eyes down and johnny sets his camera down

yuta looks like he’s desperately trying to think of something to say to ease the sudden tension

but it’s too late

“youre right, even for a fake photo this is too muc-”

“no,,,i cant do this.”

you look at yuta, but he’s blurry

everything is blurry from the tears that start welling up in your eyes

“i,,im just going to go. im sorry.”

and with that you’re running away, absolutely mortified that you even went through with this whole ploy

you dont look back

you dont see jungwoo get up, look at yuta and johnny and ask if he should chase after you

you dont see the sudden horror on his face - because the idea of hurting you,,,,,,,,,is something jungwoo would never do

you dont see any of it

you’re stuck in your own thoughts

you’d just wanted jungwoo to know how you felt

you didn’t want to force him into a weird situation like that, you didn’t want to hear the words

“it’s just for the picture”

because for you it wasnt that - you liked him so much that every touch of his fingers against your skin

ever smile

every word he spoke

it made you feel like the world around you was bursting with hearts and love

making you weak at the knees, making you absolutely lovestruck

but you think,,,,,if there’s one thing you got out of it

of seeing how easily jungwoo could do all those poses, how he thought so little of you as an interest

that he could even let you sit on his lap with no qualm at all,,,,,,,

you really didn’t mean as much to him as he meant to you

he just saw you as a friend

and your fear of him, all these times, quietly rejecting you - it was true

you could thank yuta for at least helping you see that

you get a couple of texts and missed calls afterwords

all of them are worried and from yuta, jaehyun, and even johnny

who awkwardly asks the group if they still want to submit what photos they do have

but none are from jungwoo

go figure, he’s probably so annoyed at me now. making him do this stupid photo-shoot, enter this stupid contest, and then having me runaway like some big baby

you’re so embarrassed that you turn your phone off and tell yourself that from now on

you’re going to do your best to forget kim jungwoo

no matter what it takes

of course,,,,,life never works the way you want it to

and so, as if by some cruel joke, the remainder of the semester you end up bumping into jungwoo everywhere

at the library - where you made sure to go on his off day, but it turned out he’d switched shifts recently

in the cafeteria - where for some reason it was jungwoo of all people sitting in your favorite seat by the window

at the bubble tea place around the corner which was usually to packed to even get into

somehow, jungwoo had squeezed in past those students and ended up shoulder to shoulder with you

each time trying to greet you with the usual serene, angelic smile of his

while you made up some bizarre excuse to get away

it was like your life had flipped upside down

instead of jumping on chances to be close to him, you were avoiding him like the plague

until finally - you couldnt do it anymore

“talk. to. jungwoo.”

yuta says, dropping his backpack down on the table in front of you and leaning over to narrow his eyes

you try to keep your own gaze on your textbook

but yuta is faster and stronger then you, so when he snatches it from under your nose

you have no choice but to comply

“why? i dont want to keep making a fool of myself. plus im,,,im really getting over him!”

yuta huffs some hair from his face

“i doubt that. i just said his name and your whole body looked like it was going through a shockwave”

you try to grit your teeth, think of some kind of comeback

but yuta is right - your heart’s deadset on jungwoo

no matter how many other boys youve tried to introduce to it

how youve lied in bed on instagram looking at all the campus cuties and none of them ever even matched up to jungwoo in your opinion

“yuta - it’s my destiny to love him and get rejected by him. i cant fix it”

“yes you can. just talk to him.”

“what is talking going to do-”

yuta looks at you so intently that you nearly topple out of your chair

“believe me ,,,,,, this time i promise it’s going to change things for you.”

so you agree

not because yuta kind of maybe intimidated you a little back there,,,

but because if anything you feel guilty knowing now that jungwoo does want to talk to you

you’d just assumed you disappearing from his life wouldnt matter,,,,,,

who were you to him anyway? right?

but there you are, standing outside of his dorm

palms sweaty,,,,,your heart beat so loud you think the RA is going to come over and tell you to keep it down

and it takes you ten whole minutes to even knock on the door

jungwoo opens it, his hair looks a little wet as if he’s just taken a shower

and he’s got simple joggers and a long sleeve shirt on

he looks so natural and relaxed,,,,,yet still so perfectly handsome,,,,,

“yu-yuta said you wanted to talk to me”

you get to it, thinking that you just want to hear whatever it is jungwoo has to say quickly

so you can curl up under your sheets and bawl your eyes out about it later

“i did, i know we saw each other a couple of times but you were always busy so -”

he shrugs easily and takes a set on his bed

you kind of shift your weight, standing in the middle of the room

feeling like the small walls of the dorm are going to close in on you at any second

“s-so whats up?”

you feign cheeriness to try and get past the butterflies gnawing at your stomach

“i want to apologize,,,,im sorry about the whole photo-shoot thing. but more than that, im sorry that i was so ,,,”

jungwoo seems to struggle to find the word, he scrunches up his nose

and you internally tell cupid to not shoot another arrow at your heart - you knew he was cute

but being this close and seeing him be this cute all ,,,,, domestic and what not,,,,too much

“im sorry that i was so dumb”

the choice of ‘dumb’ makes you a bit confused

“wh-what do you mean?”

he gets up and suddenly you’re aware again that ontop of being ultra cute,,,,jungwoo is pretty tall

and when he steps closer to you, he looks into your eyes and gosh the whole world is up in those pretty browns ,,,

“i just thought you were being nice, i just thought you were happy to be around all of us i didnt know you felt,,,,,that way about me”

the blood in your veins goes cold

“w-who told you?”

“it came out as an accident,,,you really cant let jaehyun around too much soju,,”

more than anything you’re surprised it wasnt nakamoto yuta - but beside that

you take in a deep breath

brace yourself. this is the real rejection

but instead of any “sorry i dont feel the same way”’s you get jungwoo’s soft hand against your cheek

you shut your eyes - don’t be too nice about it kim jungwoo, just tell me straight that you -

“i like you too”

there isnt anyway to describe the emotion that comes over you like a wave

it’s a mix of a million different things

it feels cold and hot, makes you want to cry and laugh

but instead all you do is slip down to the floor, a concerned jungwoo following you down

“a-are you ok?”

he presses his hand to your forehead, but you just try to shake your head

“im just,,,really shocked”

“that i like you back?! why?”

there isn’t really an answer for that, when you think about it, you just assumed jungwoo was going to be untouchable forever

“b-because no matter how many times i tried to tell you,,,,,,it felt like i was being pushed away -”

“because im a fool”

you shoot your eyes up to meet his

“no, you’re not! i just - i just never got it right you know, i never got the moment-”

jungwoo lets his hand come up into your hair and suddenly he’s tugging you close

so that you can rest your head against his chest

“when i think about it,,,,,,i probably just told myself not to believe it. not to fall for all your kindness, because i thought that you treated us all like that. me, yuta, jaehyun - i didnt want to think i was special to you”

you bring a hand up to hold the front of jungwoo’s shirt

“but you are special, kim jungwoo ive loved you since first sight”

he chuckles and the rumble in his chest is comforting

“since first sight? i think,,,,,,i think you charmed me too”

you’re too shy to kiss jungwoo in the moment,,,,maybe it’s because you think you’ve used up your luck

getting to hear the boy of your dreams say he likes you back

but you do let the fluttering feeling carry you on cloud nine for a long time

so much so that when you return to your dorm - even your roommate thinks you’re sick or even worse - going insane

jungwoo waits outside of your class to take you on your first date

which is to his favorite bookstore in the city

you knew he was studying to work in the library, but you never knew just how much jungwoo liked books

and just how good he looked among them

like he was just browsing for books and the manager offered him a part time job as a model for the store,,,,

to which jungwoo laughed, squeezing your hand a little and saying

“i dont think im quite the best at photo-shoots”

speaking of which,,,,,johnny does submit a photo he took,,,,,and you and jungwoo do win

but that 200 coupon? yuta “lost it”

jungwoo doesnt fret it too much, holds you back from launching yourself at yuta’s bookbag where you’re sure it is

and whispers against your ear that it’s ok,,,,he’ll take you out to eat and it’ll be his treat

and he’ll get yuta back for the both of you

(and he does. sweet, daydreaming jungwoo has a scheming side. and it comes out when he swaps yuta’s shaving cream with sardine scented hand cream)

jungwoo is a very interesting person,,,,aside from being able to just heal others with his warm presence

he’s also quite into the odd

any date you go on - jungwoo is sure to make it special

coffee runs? he asks you to play a game with him while you wait for your drinks by picking out strangers and giving them weird background stories

study date? jungwoo always gets you some kind of unique kind of stationary,,,,totally the type to just gift you a notebook with snoopy on it and be like “doesnt it look like your boyfriend?”

movie date? jungwoo has you pick a number he’s thinking of and whatever movie is that number on the showlist board is the one you’ll see

(cut to you clinging to jungwoo for dear life when you guys pick a horrible b-list horror movie)

(jungwoo kisses the top of your head, unphased by it afterwords and says if you’re still scared you can sleep over at his dorm and he’ll protect you from the monsters)

(,,,,,,afterall jungwoo is a natural flirt cough cough,,,,,,)

as he is an affectionate person, light touches and soft intimacies are a MUST with him

at first he tests his boundaries with you,,,,but soon enough it’s obvious that jungwoo could just brush his hands over yours

and it’d make you go completely dizzy with happiness

always has his hand on the small of your back

- it’s just a habit he has

when you’re talking with the group, he’ll put it there

when you’re sitting and falling asleep over your books, he’ll put it there and apply a little pressure with his thumb to get your attention back up

he also really enjoys running his lips over any part of you that he sees,,,,

the thing is he does this so absentmindedly

that he’ll do it in front of others

and get you in a flustered flurry

because you’ll just be talking to mark about an upcoming test and feel jungwoo’s lips at the base of your neck

your face turning firetruck red

while mark ducks his head into his hands and runs off, apologizing for “ruining the moment”

jungwoo: ? is he ok

you, head in your hands: u h idk but,,,i,,,im not

he loves when you wear anything that’s slightly too big because it’ll slip off your shoulder or show the back of your neck

and jungwoo is like : must kiss

you decide to try yoga with him since he keeps saying how much it helps him

but turns out jungwoo is very flexible

and you’re ,,, not there yet

so you tumble over yourself and maybe cant do some of the stretches

but jungwoo thinks you look so damn cute trying your hardest for him

totally the type to invite you over to binge watch a series you both like,,,,,but somehow you both end up on youtube watching a series on aliens,,,,

likes outdoors dates - likes just walking places with you, hand in hand

admiring the changing of the seasons, stealing kisses when the light is red and you cant cross the street just yet

but as much as jungwoo is like “let’s go hiking!”

and you’re like ,,,,,,,, “hahaha how about you hike and ill wait at the base of the mountain in the snack shop”

but if he really asks you, with his fluttering soft voice and those eyes that look up through pretty lashes

like you’ll do it

you’ll be sweating and hating it - but for jungwoo you’re pretty sure you’d do anything

and it’s crazy to know that he’d do anything for you too

because people always assume it’s hard to date someone who seems so,,,,,,unattached and like,,,,,in his own world

but the reality is, jungwoo is very observant when it comes to you

he knows what you like, he knows when to keep you safe and how to protect you

and most of all, he knows how to tell what you’re feeling

you though after all those oblivious attempts to confess to him, it’d be hard to have him read how you’re doing

but if one thing is wrong - jungwoo senses it

and does his best to cheer you up

totally the boyfriend who takes your phone and changes his name to something cute and childish

bought you guys matching snoopy keychains

tried to act aloof about it - but you know he really likes it when you clip it onto your bag

jungwoo,,,,,,admits that he might not be the best romantic - even though this is a lie - everything about him screams romantic

especially when he has you come over

and instead of studying or quizzing him like you both planned

he traces his fingertips up and down your arm, lays down side by side with you and mumbles that he thinks every part of you is perfect

and if you’d let him

he’d like to get to know more of you

and how are you supposed to say no to mr. long fingers, sexy voice, and overall fit body jungwoo?!?!?

like im not kidding, the moment he touches you - it’s like you’re in paradise

because he handles you with care and most importantly, with adoration

but there are some marks in the morning and yuta jumps on them like hot fire

to which jungwoo just does the ^_^ and is like dont make me leak some of those photos i have nakamoto ^_^

one day, as you’re watching jungwoo play a friendly match of soccer

taeil sits beside you

“can i say something”

he asks and you nod

“i know we all said you were being totally obvious with your feelings about jungwoo,,,,,,but nowadays i think he’s the one who has heart eyes for you”

jungwoo tells you a bit about his minor and you’re like ,,,, bugs ,,,, really

and he’s like it’s not that weird - they’re pretty interesting

and you’re a little iffy about it

but one of your dates is to a butterfly observatory

in which you watch as jungwoo let’s a butterfly settle on his finger

and you think that even insects can sense the inherit sweetness of jungwoo’s character

you’re a little scared when one lands on your nose, but jungwoo takes a photo

and to this day it’s his home screen on his phone

you tell jungwoo about how you tried to give him chocolates once but they melted all over you

and he feels so bad he buys you one of those gigantic bars with a two pound bag of chocolates

and you’re like jungwoo!!!! it’s fine!!!

and he’s like im sorry for being oblivious and horrible

and i promise im going to keep my eyes on you forever from now on!!!

yuta: corny

jaehyun: you’re just jealous because they got together and you’re still single

you and jungwoo looking at yuta like o?

yuta: HA AS IF,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,jaehyungofindmeadaterightnow

because let’s be real - being with him, taking photos of you two nose to nose - eyes full of love that you can only experience at that age - how could you not win
