WARNINGS | TW: burping, lowercase is intended, friends to lovers (aka my fav trope), high school au, non-idol au, mature language/cursing, realizing youâre in love kinda fic, we need more chenle fics pls and ty !!
SUMMARY | falling in love with your best friend? ewww, or so you thought.Â
AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by the song âbest friendâ by laufey. laufreyâs voice is SO pretty to listen to and very unique so i recommend listening to her music !! anyways yes i know i already posted today but this is my first chenle fic so iâm pretty excited :) okay okay iâll keep this short because i wanna get into it already :P i love you <3
you donât remember how you found yourself in the middle of a burping contest with your bestest friend in the whole entire world.Â
one moment you two were sprawled out across your bed playing video games on your phones, and the next chenle was bullying you because you couldnât burp as loud as him.Â
ây/nnie i challenge you to a burp contest.â chenle demanded, wanting to prove his point. by now your phones were long abandoned, the thought of bragging rights fueling each otherâs desire to win.
âoh youâre so on.â
â iâve never tolerated someone for so long â
see no matter how dumb or stupid chenleâs antics were, you were always there to do them with him. you would complain and threaten to leave him alone to his own devices, but before you knew it you would be right next to him grumbling about how bad of an idea it was.
when chenle wanted to bake a cake (which from the start was already a shit show because you two had no idea what you were doing) to when he wanted to go bungee jumping, the two of you would be attached by the hip.Â
you werenât too sure why you'd been tolerating his dumbass for so long, but then again you were blind to the heart eyes youâd give the boy whenever he was near.Â
you were always quick to deny any accusations of having feelings for chenle. the excuse youâd always use was that you two were âjust best friendsâ and couldnât be anything more.
âheâs strictly just my best friend.â you scolded jisung as the younger flinched away from your angry hands.Â
âbest friend my ass.â he muttered under his breath as the boy yelped, running away from your rage.
âya, park jisung!â you yelled running after him, the redness spreading all over your face.
itâs from the embarrassment and not from how absolutely correct he is, you mentally scolded yourself as you desperately tried to catch up to jisung despite him having longer legs than you.
â iâve never laughed so much â
you couldnât breathe by how hard you were laughing.
air didnât seem like an option as the two of you tried to release the loudest, longest, and deepest burp you could possibly attain.Â
you werenât gonna lie, chenle was a worthy competitor but you knew you were better.Â
trying to gather as much gas as he could, you couldnât help but glance fondly at the chinese boy desperately trying to release a bigger burp than you.Â
sure chenle was a dummy, but he was your dummy and you wouldnât have it any other way.Â
successfully gaining the right momentum, chenle waited for the perfect moment to give out the loudest burp you had ever heard in your whole entire life. the boy smirked proudly at your shocked face knowing that in that moment, he had won the whole thing.Â
âi told you.â chenle said smugly as you closed your mouth in a flash, rolling your eyes.
âwhatever zhong. iâve always hated your smelly ass anyways.â you replied trying to sound as nonchalant as possible, silently accepting defeat.
âoh you know you love me.â he said, his dolphin laugh resonating around your room. he cheekily smiled at your annoyed figure.Â
you couldnât help but smile back, hating how right he was.
â iâve never written a sad song â
chenle was born to be a singer, anyone could see that. and of course being his partner in crime youâd always be there to support him in whatever it is heâd do.
if chenle was the singer, you were the brains behind it all. music was something that brought you two together and was what kept you bonded. writing and producing songs for the boy was one of your favorite things in the world, loving how close it made you to him.Â
however at the moment you were at a stump.
chenle had mentioned wanting to release another song on soundcloud since your twoâs following had increased. new content seemed to be demanded as your best friend batted his eyelashes in a prettily manner to get you to agree.Â
âiâll sit down and write what i can.â you sighed, acknowledging the fact it had been a while since you two released something. your heart beat frantically at the sight of his overjoyed expression, chenle immediately thanking you and showering you with cringy love.
âs-shut up.â you malfunctioned as the boy pecked your cheeks in a playful manner, laughing a bit at how red you became.Â
âyouâre too cute y/n.â chenle teased, immediately backing off the moment you started swinging at the boy.
-
one hour later and the blank piece of paper you pulled out from before remained empty, the pen right next to it untouched.Â
writer's block is a pain, and every writer knows that.
you originally had an idea of writing a sad song, something you two have never ventured into before. but angsty themes werenât your jam and thus proved to be more of an obstacle writing than you anticipated.Â
âoh fuck this.â you angrily whispered out loud, grabbing the pen aggressively and scribbling heavy circles onto the blank sheet of paper.
though you would never acknowledge it, your very own best friend was the muse behind all the songs you wrote for him.Â
chenle was everything to you, and in more ways than you would admit.Â
so writing a sad song based off of him was difficult since he always brought out the best in you. sitting there once again for another hour, you crafted another love song that you knew he would adore.Â
after all, it was based on him.
â thereâs no one iâd rather fall asleep with â
it was another one of your weekly sleepovers, this time you at chenleâs place to spend the night.
the release of your twoâs latest song happened the day before and in order to celebrate the songâs unrelenting success, you held a small party at the boyâs house.
âdonât be shy, where's the dog?â was the first thing you said as you walked through his house, a little disappointed to not be met with the tiny white dog you had grown to love over the years. daegal was practically your daughter, the dog loving you more than she loved chenle.
âi asked jaemin to take her in so it could be just the two of us.â chenle said, flicking your forehead annoyingly as you raised a fist to fight.
-
âfuck.â you muttered under your breath, frantically rummaging through the night bag you packed.
âwhatâs up?â chenle asked as he rubbed his hair with the towel in his hands, fresh out of the shower.
âi donât think i packed any pajamas. my bag was too full with all the shit you wanted me to bring.â you pouted, pointing towards your bag. the boy laughed at your cute expression, the sound of his high pitched laughter making you pout even more.
âi guess you can borrow my hoodie and some sweats,â he replied, sounding forced even though chenle had a small smile on his face.
you only threw a pillow at his face in response.
-
you were drowning in his clothes, his hoodie being a couple sizes too big and his sweats practically falling off your legs. the only thing holding the poor material up was the waistband tie, triple tied to ensure reliability.Â
the faint scent of his cologne ate you up as you shyly opened his bathroom door to walk back into chenleâs room.
âlook at how tiny you are~â your best friend cooed, eyeing your sweater paws. rolling your eyes you gave him the middle finger as you grumpily trudged towards his bed, flopping down on the soft mattress.Â
pulling the hood up, you hid under his comforter for some warmth.
the sound of your favorite personâs laughter caught your attention as you peeked through the blanket, an unfamiliar feeling hitting you like a truck.
chenle was laughing obnoxiously at the sight of your salty figure in the corner of his room, his hair still slightly wet as his squeaky gaming chair adjusted to his body moving from laughing too hard.Â
everything about the boy was beautiful and the longer you looked at him, the more your belly would explode with emotions. your heart was racing and your mind could only think of one thing: zhong chenle.Â
and just like that, you realized you were hopelessly in love with your best friend.Â
â and dream with â
the two of you were laid out comfortably on the boyâs bed, chenle long gone and deep in slumber. he willingly chose to stay faced towards you and even asked you to stay facing him as well.Â
you shakily agreed knowing you couldnât say no even if you wanted to.
your epiphany seemed to somewhat catch chenleâs attention but he knew better to push it and only gave you a look at your strange behavior.Â
it was 2 am and you still couldnât get over the fact you were actually in love with your best friend. you smiled softly as he snored, probably dreaming about more stupid shit for the two of you to do.Â
âi think i might actually love you zhong chenle.â you whispered into the night as you carefully brought a hand to caress his cheek.
scared you might wake him, you jumped a bit when you saw him stir but your heart melted when you noticed he leaned into your touch.Â
âgod i hate you.â you said snickering a bit, wiping the drool off his chin.
âi take it back, i love you too much.â you sighed, immediately regretting what you had said even though chenle wasnât awake to hear any of this.Â
âif only you love me like i love you.â you sighed once again hopelessly as you brought your hand back to try and sleep.
â youâre my best friend in the whole entire world â
right as you were about to drift into wonderland, you couldâve sworn you felt a pair of lips meet your forehead and your best friend whisper something into the night.
âi love you more than anything, you blind idiot.â
park jisung x reader | angsty, fluff | 1.6k wordsÂ
WARNINGS | TW: mentions blood, abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, smoking, lowercase au, non-idol au, high school au, badboy!jisung, mature language/cursing, reader is like an angel sent from heaven for him, jisungie just in need of love :(
SUMMARY | being an outcast has him wondering if heâll ever be happy. cue you, the new girl, stumbling into his life (literally).
AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by the song âidk you yetâ by alexander23! also AHHH this is my 100 followers special fic :) THANK U LOVES FOR 100 IM SO SHOCKED CJSBFKEJD <33 the writing is a little crappy because iâm currently on my period and my patience for sitting down and writing this went down halfway through lol but I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, ENJOY THIS JISUNG FIC BC JISUNG MY BABIE AND SO ARE YOU GUYS!
whenever anybody thinks of park jisung, they think of the chains and dark clothing he wears. they think about the faint smell of smoke and menâs cologne that follows him wherever he goes.Â
they think of the boy who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks.Â
but what they donât think about are bruises on his face he fails to hide whenever he walks into school, the dejected look on his face whenever random people give him disapproving looks, the way his smile slowly faded into a permanent frown wherever he went.Â
jisung quickly accepted his reputation at school and in their little town, not having enough energy to feel insecure about it like before.
the only group of people that even remotely cared about the boy were his best friends in the whole entire world, nct dream.
they were outcasts just like him, the most âfucked up group of boysâ in their town (the peopleâs words, not theirs).
see, they were your typical bad boy group straight out of your typical fanfic. bad grades, smoking in their free time, getting into fights, always being late to class; not a single person had hope in them.
but behind their scary and intimidating facade, all seven boys were big softies with misunderstood hearts and difficult backgrounds.
people were just too dense to look into it, only judging them based on their looks and personality on the outside.Â
â how can you miss someone youâve never met â
love was a foreign thing to jisung, the only form of love heâs ever felt being from his friends. his parents were⊠interesting to say the least.Â
jisungâs father was a hard-core alcoholic, his mother being a major druggie. with no siblings in the house, jisung was usually their main target to push around and beat up.
and so because of this at a young age jisung learned to distance himself from other people and found different ways to release stress.
he started smoking when he was 14, the warm and hazy feeling of the smoke entering his lungs comforting him.
if jisung humored himself enough, maybe smoking could count as his first love. it was always there for him, never leaving him alone even if he wanted to quit.Â
he relied on it knowing it was the only constant in his life.Â
now of course the boy has heard of proper love, love like in the movies or shitty romance songs he hears on the radio.
and he wonât lie, there were moments he thought about what it felt like to be in love. but he knew that would never happen, at least not in their small town anyways.Â
he just wanted to be loved.Â
jisung would never admit it but sometimes heâd be jealous of the old couples walking down the street in their own world like it was just them two against the universe. he was jealous of the happy kids running around, their motherâs and fatherâs fondly smiling at their child. he was jealous of all the ânormalâ kids in his neighborhood.Â
jisung wanted that, craved that.Â
but most importantly, the boy wanted love.
â cause i need you now but i donât know you yet â
everything hurt.Â
his head, his body, his mind, his heart; everything was in pain.
jisung walked down the empty streets of their city, a trail of blood following behind him as he accepted his fate. the boy was 99% sure he had a concussion and at the very least had a few broken ribs.Â
he felt like this was the end, and he was ready.
-
wandering aimlessly around town, you decided to take a late night walk to familiarize yourself around the area. you had just moved into the city a week ago, spending all seven days trying to help your family unpack and rearrange your cozy new home.Â
now that you were finally free of the smell of tape and the dust of the boxes, you decided it was best to get to know the place you were living in.Â
the autumn air seemed to settle at night as you shivered, cursing yourself for not bringing a jacket of some sort. the sight of a convenience store up ahead of you brought you relief as you rummaged through your pockets wondering if you had enough money for ramen.
your steps became excited as you found a couple dollars, fondly thinking about what type of ramen you should buy. you became so lost in your thoughts you didnât even notice the poor boy who was staggering in front of you, or the trail of blood he left behind.Â
-
jisung pushed himself to reach the convenience store a couple feet away from him, in desperate need of supplies to at least try and fix himself.Â
if it didnât help in any way then oh well, maybe death was indeed an option.Â
grinding his teeth though the pain, he did not expect to feel a small body bump into him. had he been at his regular health, jisung wouldâve easily been able to keep still but because of how much blood he was losing the boy was knocked down like a bowling pin.
âholy fuck.â jisung cursed the feeling of the concrete floor colliding with his ribs. he didnât even notice the girl who had bumped into him sitting on the floor dumbfounded, freaking out over his state.
âoh my fucking god.â the girl said, capturing his attention. jisung glared at the stranger, mentally acknowledging the fact she was pretty.Â
but her being pretty wonât get you anywhere, he scolded himself. sheâll leave you just like everyone else.
âa-are you okay?â she said, eyes glancing at his black eye. jisung rolled his eyes, already annoyed. âdoes it look like iâm okay?â he replied, his deep voice catching the girl off guard.Â
âjust, fuck off.â jisung said closing his eyes as he laid back down on the floor, knowing he couldnât force himself to get up anymore. he didnât even have to open his eyes to know she left, hearing the sound of her footsteps walk away.
the boy sighed as he laid idly on the floor, wondering what sin he committed to lead him to where he is now. not even she wanted to stay, the tears threatening to fall as his thoughts buried him alive.
âwhy canât i just die?â jisung said out loud, asking no one but himself.
âbecause i wonât let you.â a voice replied as jisung forced himself to sit up in confusion. it was the same girl he had bumped into, but this time she had a first aid kit with her. he gave her a lost look despite knowing what she was here to do.Â
jisungâs mind just couldnât wrap around the fact that a total stranger would even bother to help him.Â
ânow sit up.â she said softly as she bent down to open the box, the boy slowly followed her instructions. âiâm sorry this might sting.â she said though jisung didnât mind because she was much prettier up close.
-
the next ten minutes were you trying to fix his wounds against the shitty chairs outside the convenience store.
jisung didnât even bother mentioning his broken ribs, not wanting you to freak out. you cleaned up what you could and the boy was beyond grateful for that.
you subconsciously rubbed his back in a comforting way whenever youâd apply alcohol to his open wounds, trying to ease the sting. you held his hand for him to hold and though he was a big boy and had a high pain tolerance, he still gave it a squeeze just to keep your hand there.Â
what the actual fuck is this feeling, jisung asked himself as he watched your determined figure work on him.
it was cold and in order to better work on his wounds, the boy offered to give you his hoodie which strangely had no traces of blood on it. you gladly accepted, the faint smell of blood and his cologne engulfing you up.Â
the sight of you in something so big and so him made his chest swell in pride.
jisung couldnât even formulate a sentence as you cursed at the time once you finished patching him up, fleeing the scene before he could say anything with a small smile, his hoodie still on.Â
â and can you find me soon because iâm in my head â
the thought of your soft hands on his, your voice, your whole presence; everything about you couldnât seem to leave the poor boyâs mind. it was now monday, and waiting for his class to start already made him want to go home.
if only i got her name, jisung daydreamed with his head resting on the palm of his hand. the classroom was loud and bright, people occasionally giving him looks but the boy didnât mind.Â
âjisungie~ did you hear we have a new kid?â jaemin asked, poking the boyâs cheeks. the boy only gave him a pointed look before sighing.Â
âhyung i donât really care.â jisung replied, looking back out the window.Â
jaemin only gave him an offended look before grumbling a bit. âi donât know maybe you will.â he muttered under his breath as their teacher walked into the room.Â
â yeah i need you now but i donât know you yet â
their homeroom teacher stood in front of the class, jisung tuning out his voice. the boy once again sighed as his teacher called for their attention, explaining they had a new girl in their class. ânow make her feel welcomed,â he said before turning towards the door.
ây/n, please come in.â the teacher said and jisung almost fell out of his seat when he saw you walking through the door with the same smile you gave him a couple days ago.
âhi iâm y/n and i hope we can get along.â you bowed to the class, a familiar hoodie you were wearing catching his attention.Â
isnât that mine, jisung thought to himself as he bit back a smile knowing you kept it all along.Â

what is love?
mark knew the general idea of it; the sappy moments movies show, the âbutterflies in your stomachâ feeling books portray, the pain and hardships songs make you feel.Â
but heâs never been in love, at least not like this.
â how could it be as sweet as candy? â
training at such a young age molded mark into the perfect idol, and with that he was fully aware dating would look bad to the public. he accepted the fact that he might never find love, all to help achieve his dream.Â
but as cheesy as it sounds, the canadian wished to be loved.Â
yes he was loved by his members, his family, his friends, his fans; but the type of love he longed for was something none of them could give him.Â
mark wanted to feel the sweetness of being in love, the giddiness youâd feel whenever you talk to them, the pounding of your heart whenever theyâre near. he wanted to experience the overwhelming need to be with that person, like if theyâre gone for too long itâs like you canât breathe.
was being in love like making a song for the very first time? or was it like eating watermelon all the time?
so many questions with no answers, the boy left to wander in his own thoughts.Â
â how itâs like flying in the sky? â
he smiled bittersweetly as the newly wed couple danced around in confetti, the sound of laughter and cheers resonating around the room. one of nctâs managers that had been with them since the beginning invited them to her wedding, to which the team obviously accepted.Â
all 23 of them were happy for their noona who found her happy ending. mark could only watch in awe at the sight of the two lovebirds, the love and adoration for the other evident in the way they looked at each other.
his heart tugged a bit knowing he wanted something like that too.Â
âbeing in love is like flying in the sky.â his manager explained to the boy as a makeup artist experimentally brushed strokes on her face. it was a couple hours before the ceremony when mark knocked on her hotel door, wanting to visit his favorite noona before she finally said âi doâ.Â
his question left his mouth before mark could fully register what he was about to say, the poor boy flushing a bit as the woman laughed at him.Â
âare you in love mark? is that why youâre asking me how i knew i was in love?â she teased as mark stutterd, denying her accusation.
ân-no i swear!â he said as his manager continued laughing, the makeup artist having to pause a bit to let her get it all out. âiâm just curious.â mark said quietly trying to stop the heat from rushing up to his cheeks.Â
âwell being in love is a magical feeling.â the woman said, turning a bit serious. mark sat up straight as he listened intently. âwhen you realize you love someone, it can be a scary thing. love isnât perfect mark, and i want you to know that. there are moments where you want to scream and rip your hair out, or cry to let it all out.â
the boy nodded in understanding, having a bit of knowledge from all the good breakup songs taylor swift writes about.Â
âbut it can also change your whole world.â she continued on. âitâs like seeing the world again for the very first time and the colors are more vibrant. itâs like having a permanent reason to be happy, and a reason to stay.â she explained as the mark sat quietly trying to comprehend it all.Â
â i wanna know know know know, what is love? â
the poor boyâs head couldnât wrap around the thought of you.Â
his heart hammered in his chest as he secretly glanced at you, desperately trying to avoid suspicion from fans and his members. you were just too breathtaking, having the canadian looking back for more.Â
the moment he first laid eyes on you, it was like an epiphany. you were the answer to all his questions.
so this is what it feels like, mark thinks to himself as he looks back on all the things heâs heard about love.Â
the butterflies, the pounding of your heart, the âseeing the world in a whole new perspectiveâ, mark felt everything and as much as he felt excited, he was scared.
as harmless as it sounds, award shows were a risky thing for idols. being surrounded by fans of different groups as well as said groups themselves always seemed to cause a bit of a stir between fans.
between dating rumors and rumors about beef between two idols, anything could happen.
but usually mark would be okay. heâs been doing this for a long time and knew how to behave.
however what he didnât expect was to see you, the tiny rookie idol from the newly debuted girl group âitzyâ.Â
nct 127âs table was right next to yours which let mark have a clear view of your pretty eye smile as you laughed at something lia had whispered into your ear. your laugh was bubbly and contagious, the boy having to physically stop himself from wanting to laugh too.Â
he was panicking, but mark couldnât tell if it was in a good or bad way.Â
â what does love feel like? â
your breath hitched as you saw the boy sneak glances at you from the corner of your eye.
the mark lee was looking at you, your heart racing as you tried to deny the fact that he was staring you down. there was no way the dude youâve looked up to your entire trainee life is noticing you, no way at all. Â
everyone has heard of mark lee even if you werenât into kpop. he was just that iconic.Â
youâve been an nctzen since the very beginning, being there for nct uâs debut stage. in fact, nct was the very reason you decided to audition to become an idol in the first place. you looked up to the team but more importantly you looked up to a certain canadian in the group.
originally doyoung was your bias in nct when nct u first came out. but as the years passed by you found yourself more and more intrigued by mark, having him absolutely wreck your bias list.
since then youâve been a loyal mark stan, even rapping his part in cherry bomb for your audition tape which ultimately led you to become an idol yourself.Â
you refused to believe you were in love with the dude, not knowing a single thing about him. there was no way you could love him, not if youâve never even met the boy.
but your heart seemed to prove you wrong as it beat wildly knowing mark was sitting right there on the table next to you.Â
âyou okay bubs?â lia asked in a worried tone, leaning in to whisper into your ear. she saw the way your leg bounced in a fast rhythm, knowing you only did that when you were nervous.Â
you forced a smile as you hesitantly looked her way, knowing that she could take one look into your eyes and know you were lying. âi'm fine unnie, donât worry about me.â you replied as sweetly as you could, wishing the elder wouldnât notice a thing.Â
though you two and yeji were the eldest in the group, all being born in the year 2000, you were the baby of the unnie line. lia and yeji knew you the best, having grown up with you after all.Â
the girl only gave you a look before taking your hand in hers to give a soft squeeze. âi know youâre lying but i wonât push you. also mark lee from nct 127 is totally checking you out.â lia said, whispering a bit on the last part. she winked as you flushed, looking away in horror.Â
-
johnny nudged the boy next to him with a small smirk, clearly seeing the heart eyes he was giving the girl in the table next to them. mark jumped a bit at the feeling, looking at his hyung with confusion.
âso y/n of itzy?â johnny said with a small smile as the younger immediately sat up straight.Â
âis it that obvious?â mark whispered back with a hint of fear in his eyes.
if any of the fans were to get a hold of this⊠the boy could only shiver at the thought.Â
johnnyâs playful smile dropped a bit at markâs worried look knowing how he must feel. they were idols after all.
âdonât worry, i only noticed because she was looking back at you too.â he said, mark flushing at the revelation.
âreally?â he asked a little out of it.Â
âi say talk to her after this?â the elder said, laughing a bit when mark jumped in his seat, immediately saying no.Â
â will love come to me someday? â
âunnie why are you making me stay in the dressing room~â you whined as the end of the award show came along.
you just wanted to go home, your body worn out. not from all the dancing but from the way it viciously pounded in your chest whenever you ever thought about mark.Â
lia only smirked in retaliation as she brought a hand up to squish your cheeks. âtrust me, youâll thank me later.â she said as she walked out of the dressing room, bumping into a 6 foot tall boy with a smaller boy behind him.Â
âoops sorry.â she said a little playfully, as lia gave a wink to johnny knowing their plan was going accordingly. johnny only gave her a small smile, but if you looked closely you could see the mischief in his eyes.Â
âhyung where are we going?â mark asked, a little weirded out by the twoâs interaction. johnny only ignored the boy, dragging him by his arm as they walked down the hallway.Â
âhyung i swear if this is a prank iâll-â markâs words were cut off as the two entered a door, only to see your confused face staring back at him.Â
âoh shit.â he cursed under his breath, a little taken aback from how beautiful you were. one whole award show later and you were still as gorgeous as when he first saw you sitting down in the table next to his.Â
your confused face quickly turned to an embarrassed one as you noticed the boy, turning another shade of red when you noticed he couldnât take his eyes off of you.
âhi y/n, my name is johnny and this is my band mate mark.â the taller boy said, holding his hand out in a handshake.Â
âh-hi iâm y/n.â you stuttered, not expecting to see the boy youâve been daydreaming about for the past two hours to be right in front of you.Â
mark gawked at the sight of you, his mind malfunctioning as the words seemed to get stuck at the tip of his tongue.
âmarkie right here has something he wants to ask you.â johnny said, pushing the younger in front of him with a grunt.Â
this seemed to knock him right out of his trance, a hand coming up to the back of his neck as he stared down at the floor with pink cheeks.
âdo you maybe wanna-â
âyes.â you blurted out, a hand covering your mouth in shock. âi-if you were gonna ask if i wanted to hang out sometime, the answer is yes.â you said a little shyly as the boy smiled.Â
all this time mark thought he was gonna find love, but maybe love found him instead.Â
âiâll pick you up at 6 tomorrow evening.â mark said with a sweet smile as he took a step back only to be pushed back up again by johnny.
âyou donât even have her number you dumbass.â the elder scolded, disappointed at how dumb the boy was.Â
your laughter caught both of the boyâs attention as you put your hand out with a small smile. âyou want my number or nah?â
Hi!!!!! I love your fics so much. I really really love them!! You are an amazing writer. I just saw that your requests are open. Can I request something? You can choose the member coz I bias all of them. I want the plot to be about a mental hospital. Both the reader and the member are patients and they help each other grow with their traumas and mistakes. You can make it fluff or angst. Anything. (I prefer angstâ ïž). This has been in my head for quite some time. Once again. I LOVE YOUUUU

lee jeno was everything you hated and loved in one.
he had the perfect body, and you hated it. he had the slimmest waist, and you despised him for it. he could eat a full course meal by himself and not gain a single pound, which you loathed him for.Â
you also hated the way his eyes would turn cold whenever heâd have an episode, or the way heâd look so lost looking at a trigger. you also hated how heâd sometimes push you away, saying heâs fine when he clearly wasnât.Â
but you loved the way his eyes lit up when he saw something exciting. you loved his eye smile that reminded you of your precious samoyed waiting for you back home. you loved the way heâd spoon feed you your dinner just so you could pick up eating again. and you loved the way heâd hold you close at night whispering sweet nothings about how proud he was of you.Â
you loved and hated lee jeno.Â
â weâve traveled the seas â
you remember the first night you met the boy of your dreams.
it had been your two month mark at the hospital, two whole months of forcing yourself to eat only to throw it up back up again. you were literally dying from the inside.Â
but it was like seeing the world in a new perspective once lee jeno came into your life.
he was the newest patient at the hospital and from what you heard eavesdropping some nurses, he was here for a severe case of ptsd. the boy rolled around on his wheelchair aimlessly, as if he wasnât mentally there at all.Â
heâs so good looking, you thought to yourself as you hid behind the door of your room, peaking at the boy rolling through the hallways.Â
âi see youâve taken quite a liking to the new boy?â one of the nurses popped out of nowhere, startling you. you tripped and landed on your butt, the cold tile floor meeting your bare thighs.Â
âholy shit minnie, you scared me.â you exclaimed, a hand on your heart. the woman only lightly kicked you with a frown. âdonât curse y/n itâs not good for your health.âÂ
you rolled your eyes before sputtering up an excuse. ân-no i donât like him like that.â you stuttered, turning red. suddenly the cold floor was very interesting.
âuhuh.â the nurse responded with a smirk. minnie then held out her hand, you taking it and standing back up again. âyou should go talk to him~â she said in a sing-songy voice folding up some blankets on your bed.Â
âas if.â you scoffed before going back on your bed grumbling about how annoying the nurse was.Â
â weâve ridden the stars â
âi swear i will lock you outside your room if you donât just talk to the poor boy.â minnie threatened with a spatula in her hands. it had been a week of you ogling jeno, you hiding around in corners while watching him roll around the building.Â
âminnie you know i canât do that.â you sighed, leaving your post at your door to lie back down on your bed. âwhat if iâm not pretty enough for him. i mean look at the dude, heâs stunning.âÂ
the nurse only sighed as she sat down on the edge of your bed. ây/n, i promise you itâll all be alright. besides if he ends up being a jerk, i wonât hesitate to give him the shitty food from the cafeteria.â minnie said with a smile as you laughed, knowing youâre making progress.
-
jeno felt as if his soul had left his body that night. it all went down so fast but it left a broken man in the dust. why couldnât i have died that night?
jeno knew he needed help the moment the nightmares came, after the sweating and screaming, the intense flashbacks. jeno knew he had to get over it, whatâs done was done.Â
so why canât he go to sleep at night? why couldnât he look at a car without hyperventilating?
everything he knew felt foreign and unsafe, which is why when jaemin suggested he go see a doctor the boy took his advice.Â
jeno wandered around the building with a sigh, his arms getting used to the feeling of pushing around his wheels. the wheelchair wasnât necessary but because he fractured his ankle during a panic attack before he arrived, jeno was forced to use it.Â
besides, wheels were one of his triggers so it could help him overcome his panic attacks.Â
the frown on his face was evident as he looked down on the floor trying to get to the garden outside. he was about to turn the corner before a hand came into his vision, stopping him completely. he looked up and was met with the prettiest pair of eyes heâd ever seen.
the girl in front of him smiled, his heart racing for some unknown reason. she then put her hand out for a handshake, and that was when jeno knew he was fucked for life.Â
â weâve seen everything from saturn to mars â
from that moment forward, the two of you hit it off. you were each otherâs support system in the ugliest of moments, but a safe place for each other in the best of them as well. everyone adored the pair you two became to be, and minnie was your number one supporter.
âi told you it would be fine.â the nurse said as you sighed dramatically into your pillow. jeno had dropped you off to your room at night, his wheelchair no longer needed.Â
âheâs so perfect minnie.â you said with a smile on your face as the nurse chuckled and closed the nights for the night.Â
-
you knew you were in love with the soft puppy when jeno told you how much you meant to him. you had another bad day, all the food you were given couldn't seem to stay down. you refused to eat, and even jeno couldnât convince you to take a bite.Â
everything seemed to be falling apart.Â
but as if jeno knew what you needed, he crept into your room at night startling you a bit. his strong arms circled around you, the warmth of his hoodie engulfing you up under the covers.Â
âi know today was a bad day my love, but i want you to know that iâm so proud of you for taking that one bite.â he whispered into your hair. you felt the tears well up in your eyes as the boy continued to talk into the darkness.Â
âyouâre so strong and absolutely perfect the way you are. youâre gorgeous, and pretty, and beautiful, and never fail to take my breath away whenever i see you.â
the tears were streaming down your face as you hopelessly sobbed into jenoâs chest, one of his hands rubbing up and down your back in a soothing manner. your heart stopped as he confessed his last words.Â
âi love you y/nâ
âi love you too jeno.â you hiccuped and just like that your bad day became the greatest day of your life.Â
â as much as it seems like you own my heart â
âminnie what do you mean iâm being transferred to another hospital.â you said with tears in your eyes as jeno and the nurse sat in your room.Â
you felt the anxiety creep up you as the head nurse of the hospital informed you that you would be moved to a different hospital. you were improving your health and didnât need the urgent assistance that this hospital provided.Â
âi know it seems bad but i swear itâll all be okay.â minnie said as you felt the tears fall down your cheeks. jenoâs eyes widened, rushing up to wipe the tears off your face.
âdonât cry my little star.â he said, looking into your glossy eyes. âwe can still talk.â he stiffly said, knowing phone privileges had a certain time limit.Â
no matter how much heâd wish to be on call with you forever, jeno knew that wasnât an option. facetime was practically non-existence since they werenât allowed to have their own phones. Â
âi donât wanna leave you jen.â you pouted, the boyâs heart breaking at how lost you looked. minnie only observed from the side, not really wanting to third wheel but knowing you needed this moment with the love of your life.Â
jeno was your life, and the only thing you had to keep you going. if he was gone, how would you go on?
âi donât want you to leave too bubba.â jeno confessed, not wanting to cry himself. âbut this is a good thing. youâre overcoming your anorexia which iâm so proud of you for, and in a couple of months you and i will be out to live our lives.â he smiled caressing your cheek in his hand.
âi donât want to interrupt but,â minnie started, the two of you blushing because you forgot the nurse was there. âheâs right. in a couple of months time you two would be released and then you can finally go out. no more late night garden dates.â she said as you turned to her in shock.
âyou knew?â you asked, sniffling a bit.
âduh? how else would jeno get the keys to the door?â she said rolling her eyes. the boy in question only shrugged his shoulders cheekily as you sighed with a small smile on your face.Â
â itâs astronomy â
you bitterly sighed as you pulled your luggage behind you, the bag in one hand and jenoâs hand in the other.Â
today was the day you were leaving.Â
the hallways that were once filled with patients were filled with decorations, your name on every you could see. jeno had decided to plan a surprise going away party for you the day you left, and everything was amazing.
but now that it was time for you to actually leave the grounds, your heart raced with anxiety.
i donât want to go, you thought to yourself looking around the place that nurtured you back to health for the past year.Â
you werenât just leaving behind the love of your life, you were leaving your home. you were leaving minnie. you were leaving the late nights in the garden.
you were leaving your life.Â
âhey.â jeno said, squeezing your hand a little. you had unknowingly spaced out, the two of you already at the front of the car thatâd take you to your new home.Â
âoh god.â you whispered, knowing this was it.Â
âi have a little something for you.â jeno confessed, taking back his hand. you frowned at the loss of warmth but nonetheless turned to face him with a confused face.
âwhatâs up my love.â you said worryingly. your gut wretched in fear as the boy rummaged through his pockets.Â
ây/n you know i love you with all my heart.â he started, stuttering a bit over his words. âso this is a little reminder that iâm always here with you.â jeno said as he brought out a box and opened it, a small necklace with a star pendant on it.Â
âfor my favorite star.â he said turning you around to put it on. you were frozen in shock, not knowing how to react for a bit. you only stood silently as he put it on.
ây/n?â the boy asked fearfully, thinking you hated it. but his worries were put to rest as tackled him in a hug, the tears overflowing.
â weâre two worlds apart â
âi am hopelessly in love with you lee jeno.â you whispered into the boyâs ear in a tight hug.
âi am all the more in love with you y/n.â jeno said as you walked away with a bitter smile, wanting nothing more than to run back to the boyâs arms.Â
no matter how many worlds apart he is iâd love him through everything, you thought to yourself as you watched the boy wave at your car rolling into the road.Â

WARNINGS | lowercase is intended, idol au, love at first sight au, mature language/cursing, westernartist!reader, mark is a shy bby, soft!mark, lowkey shy!reader bc lol, ANOTHER REQUEST YAY!!
REQUEST | âlove your writing! do you mind taking a request of mine? itâs where mark sees a western artist at an award show or function and he has a crush on her and wants to get with her before nct goes back to korea⊠thank youâ - anon <3
SUMMARY | his little heart has a crush on you :)
AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by the song âcrush on youâ by soul fro and dum di dum! IM SO EXCITED THIS IS ANOTHER REQUEST!! THANK YOU ANON ILY <3 hopefully this meets your expectations :) i actually donât know how award shows in the states work even though iâm literally from america so this might be slightly inaccurate lol. anyways thank you for supporting me crappy writing ahfkjdh i love you <33
mark had no idea what it was about you that captured his fragile little heart. you, the tiny first time nominee at the amaâs.
nct 127 was once again nominated for an award at the western convention, the team touring around the area as well. the red carpet was flooded with cameras, flashes and intense yells for attention was the only thing mark could hear.
but the moment you started walking down the silk road, it was like all of the sound buzzed down to a silence.
â my heart has a little crush on you â
you were the only thing the boy could see.
your soft pink gown clashed with the intense red on the floor, the pretty floral print around the chest and waist of the dress all the more brought out your skin tone. your hair was left in pretty curls and mark couldâve sworn he saw a pink flower pin somewhere in there too.
the shy smile you let out the moment the paparazzi noticed you made markâs heart race, hearing them ask you how you felt about your first amaâs since your debut.
so sheâs a newbie, mark thought knowing that was the reason heâs never seen you before.
âhow does it feel to be nominated for your first award?â a man asked, flashes all around you. your heart was racing with fear.
donât fuck up now, you thought to yourself before smiling.
âif iâm being honest, iâm terrified.â you answered truthfully, watching as the group of people in front of you nodded in understanding. âbut iâm super excited and grateful to be here, so the nerves donât really matter.â you awkwardly continued as some cooed at your shyness.
ânow i must say thatâs a beautiful dress you have on.â a woman with a microphone said causing you to blush.
âahh thank you!â you gushed, turning to her with warm cheeks. âi was scared it might be too much but my stylist insisted i wear it.â
âwell youâre stunning.â the woman winked before a certain group of boys caught her eye. âgood luck today y/n! hopefully this will be your first win.â she said before floating to the korean boys a couple feet away.
âthank you!â you called out, watching her go to the group of boys ahead of you.
curiosity struck you knowing you had no clue who they were. once you made it past the runway, you sneaked a look at the group only to have your breath taken away.
they were gorgeous, especially the one in the front.
his big brown doe eyes were shining under the lights and even though they were all wearing the same back suit and tie, this boy seemed to stand out to you.
â so immature but these butterflies they keep me laughing â
âhey lauren?â you nudge your manager. âwhoâs that?â you secretly point, not wanting to draw attention.
âoh thatâs mark lee from nct 127. theyâre the korean boy group thatâs nominated for an award.â your manager replied.
she then pokes your sides as she smirks. âdonât tell me you have a thing for the canadian dude!â she says and you yelp from the impact.
âHEâS CANADIAN TOO?â you whispered-shouted to the girl, a little taken aback. so heâs handsome and most likely knows how to speak english?
âitâs always the damn canadians.â you grumbled under your breath as your manager laughed knowing this might be the start of something new.
-
âhyung remember that girl from the runway with the pink floral dress?â mark asks one of their managers. the man nods, a little confused by the question.
âhow can you not?â the man jokes, mark nodding with a small smile.
âdo you happen to know her name?â the boy asks as
his manager gives him a look. âwhere is this going mark?â
âno where i swear i just want to know who she is.â mark said, holding his hands up in surrender.
âhmm okay well iâm pretty sure her name is y/n.â his manager responds before being asked by another staff member for something.
ây/n.â mark said hazily, liking how your name sounds on his tongue.
-
mark was in love. there was no other way to describe this feeling. while waiting in their waiting rooms for the show to start, mark took the time to look up your music.
and god was he mad he didnât know who you were before.
your songs were incredible and your voice held a certain fragility that made mark wanna give you a hug.
she better win, he thought to himself as they were ushered out of the waiting room and into the award show.
-
âoh my god oh my god oh my god.â you whispered to yourself as your heart raced. the award you were nominated in was about to be called and you wished you could hide in a hole and disappear from the crowd.
your manager sensed your nerves and squeezed your hand, silently letting you know sheâd be there for you through anything. you softly smiled as you felt your nerves subside.
âand the winner isâŠâ the man called out, purposefully slowing down a bit to create suspense.
mark knew this was the category you were nominated in, and the moment they were about to reveal the winner he held his breath.
please be y/n, he thought in his head as the announcer took another breath.
ây/n!â and if it wasnât for his self-strength, mark couldâve sworn he wouldâve jumped up in joy.
â my heart wrote a little song for you â
mark couldnât keep his eyes off you throughout the entire award show. in fact, he was a little worried someone would notice because of how painfully obvious he was being.
but itâs not like you were any better. whenever mark would look away, youâd be looking at him.
âjust talk to him.â your manager lauren complained, sick of the heart eyes youâd send to the boy.
so oblivious, she thought rolling her eyes. even she had seen the way heâd sneak glances at you as well.
âshhh.â you hushed her, looking around. it was nearing the end of the convention but you didnât want to risk anyone over hearing her.
âi donât know laur, he probably hasnât even noticed me.â you quietly sighed feeling a bit down.
why would he? youâre just a newbie while heâs been in the industry for years.
âoh youâd be surprised.â the girl responded, shaking her head at your stupidity.
-
âare you y/nâs manager?â a man asked, stopping the woman. raising an eyebrow lauren motioned you too keep walking backstage to your dressing room.
how odd, you thought walking away.
âyes i am. why whatâs going on.â lauren replied hesitantly.
the man let out a sigh of relief before continuing. âiâm one of the managers for nct 127 and letâs be honest,â he said letting the woman relax. she saw where this was heading.
âmark and y/n are head over heels for each other.â they both said at the same time.
âyou noticed markâs glances?â he asked in surprise.
âduh who wouldnât?â she replied causing the man to laugh.
ây/n wouldnât.â he said back causing them two to formulate a plan.
ây/n i have someone iâd like to introduce to you.â your manager said walking into your dressing room. you sat lazily on the couch still in your dress, your toes aching from being in those heels for hours.
âwhatâs up lauren?â you asked looking up from your phone.
âmeet mark from nct 127.â
and just like that your heart jumped.
â wonât you take a listen â
the two of you stood awkwardly in front of each other not really knowing what to say. your managers had set you up, playing off the fact that they themselves have gotten along quite well and would like for their artists to meet.
âhey-â
âhi-â
you both started at the same time. you immediately flushed rushing to let him go first.
âuh you can go first.â you timidly responded.
âno you.â mark replied just as embarrassed.
âgood grief just ask for each otherâs numbers.â the two managers hollered in unison, cringing at the awkwardness in the air.
ây-you wanna get lunch sometime soon?â mark asked with sudden confidence.

SUMMARY | when you feel like your whole world is falling apart, he will always be there to catch you before you fall.Â
AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by the song âsomebody to youâ by the banners :) these past couple of days have been dog poop so this is really just a (rushed and ugly) comfort fic for me lol. anyways iâm working on chapter three of puzzle piece donât worry <3 i love you guys.
the non stop buzzing of your phone lit up the dark room you were in. it was jisung, your best friend, frantically spamming your notifications. as clueless as he was in everyday life (bless his poor soul), he knew you better than anyone and the moment you didnât pick up his first phone call sent him into a frenzy of worry and panic over you.Â
you always answered for him, no matter what.Â
â and if the sunâs upset â
if you were being completely honest, you had no idea why you were sobbing depressingly into your pillow. the salty tears fell down your cheeks as your broken cries echoed around your room.Â
was it because of that screaming match you had with your mother a few moments ago? the fact a majority of your friends never cared for you anyways? school being a complete shit show? or maybe because you were ever so hopelessly in love with your best friend?Â
â and the sky goes cold â
since when did things turn to shit, you mentally asked yourself as your phone buzzed for the nth time. you knew you were worrying the boy and the guilt swooshed around in your heart. but you knew you couldnât talk to him about it, not about how much you loved him.Â
jisungâs your vent and what kept you grounded the moment your mind overloaded itself with its bad thoughts. you told him everything even if you donât mean to, and heâs always there to comfort you. so you knew you couldnât risk spilling your feelings for him, even if it meant bottling up everything else.
â then if the clouds get heavy â
ây/n i swear to god you better open this door or i promise you iâll kick it down.â a voice called out, knocking on your bedroom door. your heart raced as you frantically wiped your tears away, sitting up on your bed. how the hell did jisung get in anyways?
probably dad, you thought to yourself, slowly walking towards the door.Â
ây/n.â jisung warned.
âokay okay iâm opening it.â you replied, not wanting to go through the hassle of reattaching your door if jisung did end up kicking it down.Â
your sudden boost of confidence died down the moment you were face to face with the boy who made your tummy burst out like fireworks. jisungâs worried face met yours and you couldâve passed away from cardiac arrest on the spot.Â
his recently dyed messy jet black hair made you feel things, the domesticity in his humongous black hoodie and gray sweats was what led you to close the door once again.
jisungâs foot burst through, stopping you from fully closing it. âtalk to me bubba, whatâs going on?â he said softly said.Â
the raw concern and love his voice held was what let you let it all out.
â and start to fall â
the moment jisung heard your first sob he quickly pushed through the door, his strength overpowering you. he quickly pulled you into an embrace, his warmth spreading all over your body.Â
â i really need somebody to call my own â
âitâs gonna be okay princess.â jisung softly reassured you, your bodies tangled up on your bed. you sobbed into his chest mumbling incoherent words as his big hands rubbed small comforting circles onto your back.Â
jisung was at a loss. he had never seen you so broken and upset. seeing the woman he loved crying out onto his chest broke his heart and he remembered the promise he made to himself to protect you from anything and everything.
had he failed you?
â i wanna be somebody to someone â
jisung knew he loved you the moment you two met. as corny as it sounds, he fell face first for your goofy, sarcastic, loving ass. but he didnât want to jump right into it and opted to be friends. best friends, in your words.Â
but god did you make it hard for the boy to keep his emotions at bay. every laugh, giggle, smile you let out when you two were together all the more made him fall. but seeing you so blue hurt him more than you thought.
â somebody to you â
âitâs okay baby, iâm always here for you.â jisung whispered into your ear as you settled down, hiccuping every once in a while. âi'll be there to catch you whenever you fall so chin up princess.â he said, wanting nothing more than to kiss your worries away. but that could be saved for another time.Â
instead heâll be here for you until he was somebody to you.Â
WARNINGS | lowercase is intended, non-idol au, richkid!mark, mentions of hair color and style (sorry if youâre blonde/redhead/anything besides brown), bad angst bc i suck at writing it LOL, cursing, might have two parts idk idk

AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by the song âchicken tendiesâ by clinton kane :) this might really really suck bc as i've mentioned before angst isnât one of my strengths but iâll try and get better!! thank you for being patient with me about puzzle piece btw, i love you all beyond words <3
markâs heart stopped in its tracks the moment a tiny brown haired girl that looked just like you passed by him. his mind raced back to the memories you two shared, the times his life was more vibrant and colorful because you were there.Â
the thumping of his heart increased the moment he turned around and saw you in your full glory. god you were beautiful.Â
â i hope he treats you better than i ever could â
your soft brown locks were straightened out, curtain bangs to fit your frame. your smiling face mark knew too well on display as you laughed at what the dude next to you had said. markâs unknown smile he let out after seeing you turned into a frown at the man in your presence.Â
â cause you deserve the world times two â
you two first met in your freshman year of college. the mark back then was stoic and lowkey intimidating, having to be on his best and pristine behaviour for the public.Â
see, mark was your typical rich kid.Â
his father was the ceo of one of the biggest businesses in korea and once it was his time, mark would be the next in line to carry on his legacy. his parents expected perfection and perfection alone, practically spitting on the fact that mark wanted to work in music instead.Â
and falling for you definitely wasnât in his parents list of expectations.Â
you were the typical broke college girl who only knew student debt and getting drunk every weekend. but your kind and approaching demeanor captured markâs attention and soon enough his heart.Â
â and our simple sunday afternoons â
it was another lazy sunday afternoon at your apartment, the two of you sprawled out on your bed. mark was humming a soft tune that the both of you knew by heart. your face was smushed up against his neck and his arms were holding you tight in an embrace.Â
who wouldâve thought the big scary mark is a softy at heart, you thought chuckling a bit by yourself. the shaking of your laughter poked markâs curiosity.
âhey~â he pouted. âwhatâs so funny?â mark whined, all the more fueling your laughter. the boyâs expression remained in a cute pout as you toned down, choking on your spit.Â
ân-nothing baby donât worry about it.â you said, laughing a bit.Â
rolling his eyes, mark reluctantly held you close again grumbling about how childish you were being. you just smiled, taking in the warmth of his body, secretly liking how the boy had a soft spot for you.Â
â i hope he's home for you even though i had to lose you â
mark had no clue where things went wrong. one moment you were going to meet markâs parents for the first time, the next you were running out the door with tears in your eyes. he was at a complete loss.Â
mark knew it was a somewhat bad idea for you to meet his parents. the last time he brought you up the three of them had a screaming match over you. his parents wanted him to marry someone from the business world, someone of status and money to help build the empire mark would soon inherit as an adult. but mark loved you and only you. you were the only person he could ever even begin to imagine marrying.Â
but he wouldâve never imagined how outright rude his parents would be in the middle of dinner. sure they didnât like you, but mark thought they loved him enough to try. oh how wrong he was.Â
âyouâre sick.â mark said with tears in his eyes. he helplessly watched as you left through the front door, rightfully upset with what went down at dinner.Â
âmark dear, you know we only want whatâs best for you.â markâs mom tried to reason, holding onto his arm.Â
âsheâs what is best for me. i love her, donât you understand that?â his voiced cracked, wanting nothing more than to run after you. pushing his mother away, mark turned to run to you before his fatherâs voice boomed out.Â
âdonât you dare go after her lee mark.â he said, mark freezing in his place. ânot unless you want me to send you away.â he threatened, and at this point mark knew he was doomed.Â
â for you to find who fills your heart â
you were miserable the moment mark broke up with you. it was all so sudden and quick, the reality of what had happened hitting you after he left through your door.Â
âwe really need to talk.â mark said, barging into your apartment.Â
âyeah we really do.â you replied impatiently, wanting to talk about the last time you two met up. mark hadnât talked to you after the messy dinner with his parents and that didnât sit right with you.Â
âwe have to break up y/n.â he said breathlessly, so quiet you almost missed it. almost.
âw-wait what?â you said, not expecting that. âmark?âÂ
he couldnât meet you eyes, preferring to look at the floor. âiâm sorry.â was the only thing mark said before taking off and leaving you all alone.
â even if iâm not the one you choose â
all of the laughter and heartbreak mark felt with his time with you all came rushing back to him with just the look of your smile. his y/n, except you werenât his. giving you one last look mark turned around, only to find you staring back.Â

SUMMARY | when youâre supposed to be baking, but heâs much more interesting than the task before you.Â
REQUEST | âCould you do a Kim Taehyung of BTS where he attempts to help her bake but ends up distracting her?â - anon <3
AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by the song âcloud 9â by beach bunny! super fluffy mood today bc i got my VERY FIRST REQUEST AHHH!! thank you anon i'm super excited hopefully this is sort of what you wanted? if not IM SORRY FHDSJKFH anyways i love you so so so much :D
âtaehyung.â you sternly scolded, the boy in question laughing a bit at your form. you were at least 3 inches shorter than him, your âangryâ face looking more like a pout. you had a spatula in your hands ready to smack him even if there was batter on it.
âokay okay iâll stop.â taehyung laughed a bit, his hands up in surrender. he bit back a mischievous smile as you sighed and faced back to the bowl in front of you on the kitchen counter. tomorrow was gonna be your 3 year anniversary with your boyfriend, and instead of buying a cake you had the bright idea of making one together.Â
you shouldâve known better.
between the two of you, youâve dropped 5 eggs, about 2 cups of flour, and a hell of a ton of sugar. this was going to be an adventure to clean up later on.Â
taehyung sneakily poked your sides causing you to jump and almost spill the batter in your hands. you turned to scold the boy before pausing, feeling your heart race. the way he laughed, his soft boxy smile made your heart sutter as the words in your throat died down.Â
ây-yah kim taehyung.â you tried to reason as the blush forming on your cheeks reddened.Â
âyah kim y/n.â he fought back, and you couldâve sworn your heart was on the verge of having a heart attack.Â
â but when he loves me i feel like iâm floating â
it was an absolute pain to finish up the batter. as every second passed taehyung would do something to distract you, like it was his mission to make you laugh as many times as possible.Â
âarenât you supposed to be helping me?â you raised an eyebrow as you carefully placed the finished liquid into two cake pans. the boy mimicked your expression before placing his hand on your waist, his head resting on your shoulders.Â
âbut what fun would that be if we just made the cake?â he whined before giving you a peck on the cheek.Â
âyouâre impossible.â you rolled your eyes with a smile, turning your head to give him a small peck. ânow scootch i have to put these pans into the oven.â you demanded. taehyung chuckled a bit into your ear before moving to have your way.
â when he calls me pretty i feel like somebody â
âyouâre pretty.â taehyung bluntly complimented you, the suddenness of it catching you off guard. the two of you (though it was mainly just you) were working on the frosting while the cake baked in the oven.
âw-what?â you asked, your hands stopping in its tracks as you stirred the bowl in your hands.Â
âi said youâre pretty.â he responded once more before turning back to the cream cheese in his hands.
taehyung has always had a weird way of showing his love and affection for you. whether it be âannoying youâ (you actually enjoyed his banters) or bluntly saying things out of the blue, the boy no doubtedly had complete heart eyes for you.Â
in fact, he didnât plan to be âdistractingâ today. it was only because of you.Â
the way you had your hair up in a make-shift bun to keep the baby hairs away, the pajama set you were wearing which matched his, the glasses on your face showing your determined expression. everything about you made his heart beat a bazillion times faster, which is why he was so childlike today.Â
sneaking away to the living room, taehyung grabbed his phone from the couch and played some music.Â
âoh what the-â you jumped, hearing the soft melody of the piano play out of nowhere.Â
âdance with me.â taehyung said, grabbing one of your hands to place them on his shoulders.Â
â even when we fade eventually to nothing â
you laughed at his abrupt request but nonetheless wiped your hands on a towel and complied. you two softly swayed to the music, his hands on your waist and yours on his broad shoulders.Â
suddenly the busy kitchen you two were in faded into nothing and it was just the two of you against the world. taehyung placed a soft kiss on your temple, savoring the feeling of you in his arms.Â
âi love you, y/n.â he whispered, goosebumps forming on your arms with the gentleness in his voice.Â
âi love you so much more, taehyung.â you replied with your eyes closed. a small pain on your head was what made you open them in shock.Â
taehyung lightly swatted your head. âdonât be dumb i love you the most.â he whinned, holding you closer than before (if that was even possible).
â you will always be my favorite form of loving â
âuh y/n?â taehyung asked after a couple more minutes of dancing.
âyes my love?â you replied, feeling comfy in his arms.Â
âi hate to ruin the moment but i can smell our cake burning.â he said sheepishly before you stood up straight in shock.
âkim taehyung.â you said, feeling a sense of deja vu hit you.Â
WARNINGS | lowercase is intended, angst because duhh, fluffy ending because itâs jisung and i donât think i could take a sad ending with him, friends to lovers au (my fav as you can tell), high school au, non-idol au, not a lot of dialogue in the first half oops, maybe like one curse word(??), this is gonna be trash so uh skrrt skrrt
SUMMARY | when theyâve both been in love with each other for years, but are too dense to realize it (aka your typical f2lâs trope).
AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by âslow dancing in the darkâ by joji as you can tell by the title of this oneshot hehe :P anyways another favorite song of mine! i wanted a happy ending jisung because i see so many sad ending with him fhakldjfh also (i tried to be) super angsty because teenage love and overthinking always gets me in my feels~
youâve never failed to make jisungâs heart race, even as a kid.
before he met you, jisung was your typical seven year old boy who avoided girls because he thought they had the cooties. he had that weird bowl cut every asian dude had growing up with slinky arms and a skinny frame.Â
but you? you were beyond ordinary.Â
your pigtails were held up by hello kitty hair ties, the charms dingling whenever you moved. you had a few front teeth missing, but that didnât stop you from smiling ear to ear when you first met jisung. the colorful pastel colors you wore all the more attracted him to you.Â
never has he ever seen such a bright and bubbly girl. all the other girls in the area were like him, avoiding the boys because of their âcootiesâ. they were stuck up and always thought they were better than him.Â
but from the moment you two met, you became an exception. the only girl jisung liked being around.Â
now that you two are seventeen, things have changed a bit. jisung wasnât up to your ears anymore and he sure as hell doesnât have a bowl cut. you outgrew your pigtails and have teeth in the front of your mouth. but the biggest change? jisung was in love with you.
well sure heâs always loved you. he loved the way your charms in your hair would jingle whenever you two played hopscotch, he loved how you always tried to put his hair up into a bun with your special hair ties, and he loved just being around you.
but this kind of love? the one heâs feeling now? it was like anything and everything you did made his heart race and his smile come out. so of course hearing you rant about this âreally cute guyâ who suddenly started talking to you in school made his heart hurt.
you were laying on jisungâs chest, him playing with your hair as the movie in front of you two played in his room. you didnât know how but you were thankful the boy you were laying on couldnât hear how fast your heart was beating.Â
youâve always been in love with jisung. from the moment you two met you were drawn to his aura, how he lowkey hated you and thought you had a disease. youâve watched him grow (literally) and become such an amazing person. just the thought of it made your heart swell.
but you knew he didnât like you. there was no way. not when he seemed so comfortable with the girl that sits in front of him in science.Â
so youâve decided you were gonna try and move on from him and look at other boys. you realized how cliche it was, falling in love with your best friend. there was no way it was gonna work anyways, not if jisung didnât like you back. so you went for one of his friends, sungchan. heâs tall, kinda, charming, and everything you could ever want. but heâs not jisung.
â give me reasons we should be complete â
jisung didnât know how to respond when you first mentioned sungchan. he should be happy for you right? you two were just friends and in no way did he have any claim towards you. if you liked him you should go for him, right?
wrong. his hand faltered a bit as he continued to stroke his fingers through your hair, his heart feeling heavy in his chest. suddenly he felt like he wanted to cry, not noticing how half-hearted you sound talking about the boy.Â
â you should be with him, i canât complete â
suddenly his mind went to more sadder things. jisung thought about the height difference between sungchan and him, wishing he was just a little bit taller for you. how cool and handsome sungchan was, no wonder you were falling for him. heâs more athletic and thatâs probably why you liked that boy and not him.Â
-
prom night. your second to last prom before you and jisung finished high school. you two decided to go together âas friendsâ, the thoughts of him not wanting to actually be your date dampening your mood at times. but you were here to have fun, whether jisung saw you like that or not.
the two of you were partying, dancing along to the songs being played on the speakers.
ây/n?â a voice called out, causing the both of you to turn. jisung frowned looking at the boy in front of him. there he was, the boy heâs hated for the past two months.
you froze, not knowing why sungchan was in front of you.
âum, hi sungchannie.â you shyly smiled, a little awkward at the random intrusion. jisung knew you felt a little awkward and protectively wrapped an arm around your shoulder.
âhey.â jisung replied, trying to act cool. you stifled a laugh at jisungâs sudden mood change before clearing your throat.
âcan i talk to you for a bit?â sungchan asked, and jisung could have cried then and there.Â
â you looked at me like I was someone else, oh well â
âyou like jisung donât you?â sungchan said, watching as your eyes strayed to the tall brown haired boy you came with. you flushed, getting caught.
ân-no i donât know what youâre talking about.â you stuttered, denying the obvious. the boy laughed, ruffling your hair a bit.
âdonât stress about it y/n, you donât look at anyone else the same way you look at jisung. itâs kinda cute.â he smiled, making you a little less tense.Â
âbut he doesnât like me.â you replied, looking down at the floor as an attempt to not cry. sungchan laughed, not believing what youâve just said.
âyouâre an oblivious one arenât you?â sungchan muttered under his breath before holding you close, keeping an eye out for the boy watching him like a hawk. âconfess to him, i promise you it wonât be bad.â he whispered before pushing you towards jisung.
â canât you see â
âso whatâd he say?â jisung asked, suddenly becoming serious. he saw the way sungchan pulled you close and his fists tightened in anger. he was the only one who could do that to you. but then he realized, heâs really not.Â
jisung once again realized that you werenât his and probably never will be.Â
âo-or well you donât have to tell me.â he stuttered aftering noticing how possessive his tone was. sheâs not yours sheâs not yours, jisung chanted to himself, watching as your face flickered to one of unsureness.Â
goddammit why canât you see iâm in love with you, the both of you thought in unison, jisung waiting for your response.Â
âdance with me.â you said, pulling jisung away to a secluded area knowing what you should do. though you didnât answer him, who was he to decline such a beautiful lady.
â i donât wanna slow dance, in the dark â
it was like that ending scene from twilight, a mini deck covered in fairy lights and flowers. the lights were dimmed down a bit as a soft tune played, your head on jisungâs shoulder as the two of you slowly danced to the song.Â
you realized that if you told him you loved him, it could ruin everything you two had. but you knew you couldnât keep it a secret, you knew you couldnât keep your emotions in the dark.
âwhatâs on your mind princess?â jisung asked, breaking the silence. he knew how tense you were just from the way you walked back to him after sungchan. and when you didnât answer his question, well of course jisung was a little worried.Â
your heart raced at the nickname. he started calling you that after the two of you played kingdom, him being your knight in shining armor while you were his princess. it stuck, jisung liking the way it felt calling you that.Â
âi donât wanna pretend anymore, sung.â you sighed, picking your head up from his shoulders. you pushed yourself away slightly, a small space between the two of you as you prepared for heartbreak. the boy gave you a confused look, not understanding what you were trying to get at.Â
â dark â
âiâve always loved you, as a kid and even until now.â you confessed, eyes trained onto the floor. jisung froze.
there was no way you actually felt the same, did you?
âw-well i know you donât like me back and i know this changes things so much and iâm so sorry-â
jisungâs lips on yours was what shut you up. his hand snaked behind your waist, the other on the nape of your neck to deepen the kiss.
âshut up will you?â he mumbled into the kiss, finally relishing the feeling of your softness of his. your cherry lip balm was addicting and he couldnât wait to taste it again. Â
you had no clue what was going on at all, his lips on yours making your mind go hazy. as you two pulled away to catch your breaths you whispered into the air.
âso does this mean you love me too?â
âare you dumb or do i need to kiss you senseless again?â

SUMMARY | when itzy and nct dream meet on weekly idol, one member of itzy catches a certain maknaeâs eye.
AUTHORâS NOTE | inspired by âelectric loveâ by borns :P yes itâs a tiktok song but itâs a good tiktok song so bite me >:( i disappeared for a bit so enjoy this trash imagine because i lost the will to write for a bit. also not edited really well iâm sorry for mistakes :(
your palms become sweaty as you nervously sit in the chair, the makeup artist diligently working on your face. wannabe came out about a month ago and the overwhelming popularity and support came flowing through, especially with ryujinâs shoulder part in the beginning.Â
itzyâs fandom grew and so did the group as a whole, the six of you continuing to learn more about being an idol.Â
but the one thing you were lacking in was interacting with other idols.Â
itzy debuted in early 2019 giving you guys a little interaction with others like your brother group, stray kids. but when the whole pandemic hit, causing you all to isolate in quarantine to protect each other, talking to others outside of your company became rare.Â
you were extremely awkward when it came to other idols. sure, you could talk to fans. you knew how to act and talk to them since that was a part of your training. but talking to idols, another person who wasnât a fan, was different.Â
unfortunately for you, on the episode of weekly idol you are about to appear on, another group was going to be present. and of course they just had to be one of your favorite boy groups of all time: nct dream.
youâve always looked up to nct as a whole, but nct dream has always been your favorite because they were young when the six, originally seven, first debuted. you were twelve when you saw their debut stage. dancing has always been a passion of yours. it made you feel free and alive. music has always been a part of you as well. you taught yourself how to write songs and produce them, even releasing music on soundcloud under an alias.Â
so ever since you saw nct dream debut, you decided you wanted to be an idol too. three years later and youâre in itzy, and you wouldnât have it any other way. but now that you were going to be in close proximity to the people youâve looked up to for so long, even talking to them made your head hurt.Â
ryujin bumped your hip teasingly as the six of you prepared to go on screen, knowing how you felt about nct dream. she was casted during a got7 fansign so when she first met them after her debut, that girl was a statue (though she would never admit it).Â
âdonât worry y/nnie, i wonât mention your crush on park jisung.â ryujin slyly said before moving to escape your wrath.Â
âryu!â you whined, trying to smack her moving body. your face flushed, the heat rushing to your cheeks at the mention of the older boy. though youâve never said it outloud, youâve always had a thing for the maknae of nct. how could you not? heâs tall, polite, has a really good voice, and is the main dancer just like you. his style and the way he moved was beyond impressive, causing you to fall for him even more.Â
the girls found out about your so-called âcrushâ (quotation marks to make you feel better even though youâre head over heels for him) when you saw nct dream in an award show. yuna saw the way you blushed and how your eyes strayed to the tall then pink haired boy a couple tables away from the six of you. since then theyâve all teased you about it whenever they can, making you whine in embarrassment every time.Â
you shakily wipe your hands on your outfit, a stylist making a sound of disapproval before you turn to give her a small smile. moving towards a small mirror, you examine how you look with a worried face. your pale blue paper bag jeans were slightly baggy and you cringed knowing you were gonna perform wannabe in those. you adored the flowery top you had on though. it was white with tiny black flowers printed all over, the puff sleeves adding to the look. your hair was slightly curled, the blonde highlights peeking through from your jet black hair.Â
you let out a worried breath as the management ushered you to hurry. showtime, you thought to yourself as you anticipated for the words âactionâ.Â
in the middle of the room was the iconic white stage where weekly idol have always held their episodes. on one side was itzy waiting to enter and on the other was nct dream.Â
âtoday is a very special episode for we have two awesome groups joining us today!â one of the hosts exclaimed excitingly, adding on to your nerves. lia sensed your distress and reached to give your hand a reassuring squeeze.Â
âgive it up for the hottest girl group of their generation, itzy!â the other host yelled before the six of you partied onto the stage. each of you had an excited expression on your face as the two hosts continued on before introducing nct dream.
âletâs warmly welcome one of our favorite teams to have on this show, nct dream!â
your heart raced as you saw the six of them walk on stage goofily, trying not to laugh at how awkward jisung looked. as if he sensed your eyes, jisungâs gaze met yours causing you to look away in shock. suddenly the floor became more interesting than the boy youâve been crushing on for almost a year.Â
âall in us! hello, we are itzy!â the six of you greeted towards the screen. unknowingly to you, the boy you were caught staring at was looking at you too.Â
â baby youâre like lightning in a bottle â
jisung likes to think heâs a simple boy. he doesnât like breaking the rules and is mostly a good kid. but gosh from the moment you two made eye contact, the brown haired boy was ready to run away then and there. you were pretty. like beyond pretty, and heâs never felt this way before.
sure it was a little creepy and slightly concerning for his image seeing as he currently has heart eyes for you while the cameras are rolling, but jisung couldnât help himself. that flowery top of yours made you look soft and small, as if he could scoop you up in his arms like a child. jisung knew he was tall but dang, seeing you from afar made him think he was extra tall. the boy chuckled under his breath seeing you wear boots, knowing that gave you an extra boost.
sheâs so small, he thought, smiling a bit.
renjun nudged him, noticing the younger was spacing off before following his eyes to a certain member of itzy. the elder smirked a bit as they all did their introductions.
âto the world here is, nct.âÂ
the boy smugly looked at their maknae who was currently blushing at being caught by his hyung for looking at you.
young love, renjun thought before turning his attention back to the hosts.Â
â i canât let you go now that i got it â
âso you guys have two main dancers in itzy right?â one of the hosts asks as the 12 idols sit together on chairs. yeji nodded and spoke up.
âyes itâs me and y/nnie but y/nâs a better dancer than me.â she replied, pointing a shoulder to you. you quickly rebutted and waved your hands in disagreement.
âno way~â you denied, turning red. âyeji unnie is the best.â you replied shyly, an awkward thumbs up to try and back up your claim.Â
everyone cooed at your shy face. although you were the second youngest in itzy, 4 months older than your maknae, yunaâs much taller than you which made you look like the youngest. because of this everyone, including yuna, tended to child you because you were just so baby.Â
âwerenât you a part of a highlight reel?â the other host asks you, once again embarrassing you. the girls laughed, the other six boys looked at the host in confusion.
ây/n unnie was apart of bts sunbaenimâs love yourself highlight reel!â yuna exclaimed. although she too was in the highlight reel, yuna always thought you were much cooler because you got selected for your dancing skills.Â
everyone gasped in surprise (the hosts a bit more fake since they already knew that) at the revelation.Â
âi was able to dance with j-hope sunbaenim and jimin sunbaenim for that highlight reel.â you responded, smiling a bit at the memory. the boys were beyond shocked knowing this must meant you were good.Â
âhow was it?â a host asks.
you marveled at the thought. âthey were such good dancers and really really nice!â you said with a happy expression. âi would definitely love to dance with them again if i were given the opportunity.â the look on your face was clear you loved dancing and loved working with the pair.Â
âcan you show us the dance?â the host asks and just like that you immediately become a shy mess.
âo-oh um i mean yeah i could do that.â you stuttered as chaeryoung softly pushed you off your chair and into the middle of the room. she smirked a bit at your timid form, knowing what sheâs doing. from the moment you walked in, the maknae of nct seemed to be head over heels for you and she knew he was the main dancer just like you.
i swear if they donât end up together after this iâm suing, chaeryoung thought as she looked at the starstruck boy watching you expectantly.Â
â and all i need is to be struck â
jisung wasnât surprised to hear that you were one of the main dancers in itzy but to hear that you worked with btsâs j-hope and jimin? he was beyond impressed and (though he would never admit it) was lowkey really excited to see you dance.Â
he watched as you timidly walked towards the middle of the stage, calming down your nerves. jisung watched with a faint smile until the music started playing, and just like that he was a goner.Â
â by your electric love â
the way you moved, your technique, your facial expressions. everything was mesmerizing. the whole room watched in awe as you danced to the routine you burned into your mind as a trainee, knowing that this was one of your biggest projects ever. in that moment jisung completely fell for you, and everyone in the room except for you knew that.Â
âand thatâs the end of todayâs episode of weekly idol!â you all cheered with the hosts, jisungâs heart beating fast knowing he wanted to talk to you after this episode but not knowing how to.Â
âcut!â the director yelled out, a little excited to know what was to come. they of course noticed jisungâs lovestruck expression and the way your eyes lingered on the boy, and of course they didnât catch it on camera. knowing you two were young and idols, they didnât want to ruin what you two might have since they were all rooting for you two.Â
âif you donât talk to her i swear iâll tell her embarrassing stories of you.â donghyuck threatened. just like the others, he too noticed jisungâs attraction to you throughout this whole episode. the boyâs eyes widened in shock, yelping as chenle pushed him towards your way with a small smirk.Â
âunnie no.â you cried out, beyond terrified as you watched jisung walk towards you. as soon as the episode ended you were pulled away by the girls who quickly explained to you that jisung âhad the hots'' for you (ryujinâs words, not yours).Â
your mind was going at a million miles per hour, heart racing as jisung came closer and cleared his throat.
âh-hi.â he said, his voice never not taking you by surprise. jisung was towering over you, looking down at you nervously.
âh-hello.â you smiled and jisung couldâve sworn he melted just a little.Â
âget together already!â lia and jaemin yelled out together, making the two of you blush and unconsciously lean closer.Â
â electric love â
âwanna hang out sometime soon?â jisung asked, his sudden confidence taking you and him off guard. you bit back a smile before holding your hand out.Â
âgive me your number.â you replied, jisungâs smile he let out making you fall even more for him.Â
WARNINGS | lowercase is intended, high school au, established relationship au (if thatâs a thing lol), non-idol au, just your good old going on a date kinda fanfic where you two realize just how in love yâall are, whipped!jeongin, really fluffy, did i mention fluff?
SUMMARY | when your date ends with a giant promise.
AUTHORâS NOTE | another fluff fanfic because thatâs my forte and i havenât written any skz things yet :P hehe the pic is my pfp. anyways jeongin is one of my ults and my bias in skz so this is gonna be fun to write! also iâm doing this right, right? itâs yji? yang jeong in? idk why but for some reason it doesnât look right to me. also the endingâs trash iâm sorry-
âbaby please stay still.â your boyfriend softly scolded as he carefully fixed the bunny hat on your head, one hand keeping the hair out of your face and the other placed carefully on the back of your neck to keep you still.Â
it was the last couple of days before the start of your guysâs senior year, before things get complicated academically. the august heat burns but you didnât think twice about it, more excited about the fact that you and jeongin were at seoul land.
your tiny frame bounced up and down, slightly frustrating your boyfriend. he didnât mind though because you were absolutely adorable in the bunny hat he bought for you. jeongin smiled softly at your excited face reminding him of a kid opening christmas presents.Â
his hands then went up to fix the froggy headband you chose for him, making sure he didnât look completely stupid. when you first pointed out the headband, jeongin had a protest at the tip of his tongue. but dang, the way you looked at him had him nodding his head in approval before he said a word.
âare you done yet innie?â you whined, holding onto his arm as he chuckled. jeonginâs free hand goes up to squeeze the paw of your hat, one of the ears going up. his heart never failed to race whenever you two made eye contact. he wholeheartedly believes you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen in jeonginâs eighteen years of life.
jeongin smiles at your blushing face before grabbing your hand.
âletâs go loser.â and he drags you to the viking ship on your left.
â i like shiny things, but iâd marry you with paper rings â
you couldnât help but smile at your boyfriendâs focused gaze. you guys were taking a little break from rides and instead going around the games and food stands. his tongue poked out as jeongin focused on the target in front of him, fire behind his eyes.
you two were sharing a funnel cake when he noticed your eyes staring at the cute cow stuffed animal. jeongin immediately recognizes it from a kdrama you two watched on your first movie night as a couple. and thatâs how you found yourselves standing in front of a water gun stand watching your boyfriend try and win you that stuffed animal.Â
the man at the running stand laughed quietly at your dumb and in love expression before the ding rang, indicating jeongin won. your boy jumped a little in victory before turning to you with the biggest smile ever.
and thatâs when you felt it. that warm and fuzzy in your tummy, the racing in your heart, the automatic smile you gave him back. you and jeongin have been together since the summer before your second year of high school. you watched as he grew from the shy and timid boy to the (slightly more) confident man he is now. you couldnât believe how youâre already gonna start your senior year with the love of your life.
love.
in that moment when jeongin stuffed the plushie into your hands and gave you a hug, you knew you were completely in love with him. you wanted to marry him someday.
you didnât care if you two were in your pajamas or dinosaur suits, you just wanted to be his.
â uh huh, thatâs right, darling youâre the one i want â
jeonginâs palms felt sweaty and clamp as you dragged him towards the carousel. your carefree and euphoric expression made his heart double in size as he blinked at you. suddenly the ring in his pocket felt heavy, weighing him down with every step he took.
the start of summer while jeongin was at the mall with his hyungs, a pretty ring caught his eye. it wasnât anything too big or expensive (which he was thankful for as a broke high school student), but absolutely stunning. the ring had a thin silver band with one medium sized diamond in the middle, tinier ones surrounding the big one.Â
and before he knew it, jeongin was at the shop paying for a promise ring he was hoping to give to you before school started. there was a matching one he bought on a whim, leaving him more broker than before.
jeongin knew he was in love with you in the middle of your third year in high school when you two had a burping contest to see who could burp the loudest. you won (only because he let you) and from then he only had heart eyes for you.Â
heâs never felt that comfortable and safe with anyone. being so carefree and home. he was at home with you. so buying you that promise ring was his way of saying he wants to be with you forever.Â
â i hate accidents except when we went from friends to this â
you two met at the start of your freshman year when jeongin spilled milk all over your shirt. he was a shy boy so whenever the lunch bell rang, he ran out of the cafeteria like his life depended on it. but one day he wasnât aware of where he was going and ran right into your timid frame.Â
suddenly you were met with a cold feeling running down your chest.
the poor boy freaked and apologized faster than you could register what had happened. you were a bubbly kid, though not very social so you didnât mind what had happened. but for some reason you let yourself be dragged by the stuttered stranger, offering you his hoodie he had in his locker.Â
his hoodie felt foreign and warm on your body. although he was a stick at fourteen, jeongin was tall. the cloth looked big on your short frame, hands disappeared from the long sleeves. the boy was beyond red looking at you in his clothes. his eyes widened, malfunctioning on why he felt this way.Â
âiâm really sorry.â he muttered in embarrassment before turning around to leave.Â
âwait!â you called out, tugging on his wrist. if jeongin didnât resemble a tomato then, he definitely did now. your hand felt warm around his wrist and the sudden source of heat was all his mind could think about.Â
âthank you.â you shyly said taking back your hand. you donât know what has possessed you but suddenly youâre asking what his name was.Â
âwhatâs your name? iâm y/n!â you said with a small smile. jeonginâs heart felt like it was about to explode.Â
â uh huh, thatâs right darling, youâre the one i want â
âcome one baby itâs almost dawn letâs go~â you whined a bit, pulling his tall frame towards the line. it was almost sunset and you wanted to go on the ferris wheel as the last thing you two would do for the day before studies filled up your date nights.Â
well actually, jeongin was the one who suggested going on the ferris wheel to you before you stuck with it in excitement. it was all a part of his master plan to give you that promise ring. he was pretty confident youâd take it, after being together for so long, though of course thereâs that small inkling of doubt that youâd reject it and him.
but now that it was almost time, jeongin couldnât move his legs. he was really about to give you a promise ring.
jeongin laughed to mask his nerves but you knew better.
âawe is my baby afraid of heights?â you joked, no longer pulling his arm but putting your hand in his. âdonât worry, y/nnie is here to protect.â you broke out into a fighting pose which immediately made him laugh at your silliness.Â
â in paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams â
here you guys were at the top on the ride, the sunset warm on your face. jeonginâs leg was bouncing in nervousness causing the box you were in to shake. you were about to reach out to the boy before he spoke up.
ây/n?â he asked in a small yet serious voice. you couldnât help but worry.
âyes my love?â you responded back, turning your body to face him on the seats you guys were on. âwhatâs wrong? youâve been acting weird ever since you got on the ferris wheel.â
your mind was racing with possibilities, the worst one sounding the most obvious with the way jeongin seemed so serious. he wasnât breaking up with you, right?
jeongin took a deep breath before looking into your eyes, the color more beautiful than the sunset behind you.Â
âi love you so much.â he continued before reaching into his pocket, fumbling a bit with the box the ring came in.Â
âand i know weâre young and have so much ahead of us. ah you know how much iâm bad with words but, thereâs so much weâre unsure of like whatâs 25 - 8 or what college weâre going to. but if thereâs one thing iâm sure of, itâs that youâre my everything.â the boy said, trying not to stumble over his words. his heart was at an unmeasurable rate, one hand on the ring and the other on your own hand. suddenly he took out the ring, a red velvety box which made you gasp in shock.
at this point you were tearing up. so he wasnât breaking up with you?
âthis isnât anything too big so donât freak out.â jeongin joked making you chuckle a bit. âbut i know that i want to spend the rest of my life with you.â his grip on your hand tightened before letting go, opening the box.Â
âitâs nothing too big but hopefully this could show you how much you mean to me, y/n. hereâs a promise ring because i really want to spend the rest of my life with you.â
the ring was beautiful in your eyes. tears fell on onto your cheeks as you looked to your boyfriend. all you could see was genuine love and care.Â
you caught him in a hug, causing the box to shake again, sobbing into his chest.
âi love you, i love you, i love you.â you chanted into his chest making him laugh.Â
âdonât cry my love. i still need to put it on you.â jeongin chuckled. you wiped off the salty water before holding out your hand. jeongin slowly took your hand as if it was made of glass before slipping on the ring. it fit perfectly.Â
â oh, youâre the one i want â
you put his ring on as well before the box moved indicating that you guys were going back down. before the sight of the pretty sunset escaped your view, you quickly grabbed jeonginâs face to meet yours in a kiss. a kiss to promise that youâd guys would be forever. because yang jeongin is everything youâve ever wanted.
