⢠It was a quiet Friday evening and you had come home from work a few hours ago and now had the sudden urge to arrange your closet. Your countless clothes were now scattered all over the bed with your Spotify Kpop playlist on shuffle in the background.
⢠Chan was busy working on writing some lyrics on his notepad in the other room.
⢠When he finally was satisfied with what he wrote he decided to check in on you and ask if you needed some help in folding your clothes.
⢠So he walked into the bedroom, rubbing the back of his neck, as he glanced around, when the familiar notes of Boy In Luv by BTS reached his ears. His eyes landed on you, swaying to the beat of the chorus as you folded your clothes, completely engrossed in the music.
⢠When the part ëęł í ëě ě¤ëš , ë뼟 íĽí ëě ë§ěě ě 몰ëź? (I want to become your oppa why don't you know my feelings for you ?) came up, you noticed him standing at the doorway, you smirked at him.
⢠Feeling completely confident and mischievous this time for some reason, you grabbed an artificial rose from the vase on your bedside table and approached him, singing the lines to him passionately ë뼟 모뼸 ě˛í´ë, ě°¨ę°ě´ ě˛í´ë ë ë°ě´ë´ě§ 몝íę˛ ě´ (even if you pretend to not know me and be cold i still can't push you away).
⢠Chan's eyebrows shot up in surprise, he clearly hadn't expected you to serenade him with this song, a song meant for a girl by a guy. "Wait what are you - ?! Are you seriously serenading me with this song ?" He continued to look at you in amusement yet he couldn't help but blush at your antics.
⢠You ignored him and continued to sing ëęł í ëě ě¤ëš ëě ë¨ěę° ë ęą°ěź ëęł ë´ (i want to be your oppa I'll be your man, wait and see), as you held the rose out to him, tilting your head dramatically as you waited for his reaction with a mischievous smile on your face.
⢠Chan was utterly dumbfounded yet he couldn't hide his amusement and the growing grin on his face. He blinked a few times before bursting into laughter and said "out of all the songs in the world you serenaded me with a song about wanting to be someone's man ? Y/N you're unpredictable", he continued laughing, and took the rose.
⢠"So ? Can't I take charge and serenade you ?", you mock pouted.
⢠His laughter softened into a warm smile "you're too much you know that ?"
⢠"Thanks thanks, I aim to entertain".
⢠"Chan looked at the rose in his hand and said "you're lucky I find this adorable".
⢠"Adorable ? I was going for bold and romantic Chan", feigning offense.
⢠"Oh ya that too", he said as he pulled you closer.
⢠"You know I hated the word oppa ? I mean when I came to know this whole K industry existed that word was everywhere in songs, movies and fans overused it to no end so I found it cringy".
⢠He raised his eyebrows, "so what changed now ? because you know you literally just serenaded me with a song that had oppa".
⢠"Ahh I guess I kind of like it now but only in small doses. Maybe I started to like it because of you who knows ? Like it's not cringy when it comes to you, it's cute, I guess".
⢠He trailed off looking thoughtful. Then he leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a softer tone. "So you think I'm cute ? Anyways if you ever did call me oppa, like, seriously, I think my heart might stop".
⢠You raised your eyebrows, smirking. "Oh is that so ?"
⢠"For the record you can call me anything and it would be sweet. But oppa, coming only from you is ..... special", he said quietly. You made a mental note about this.
⢠Fifteen minutes later, you both had fallen into a comfortable silence, as you continued to fold the last of your clothes with Chan's help, the oppa conversation forgotten for now. That was until you had a mischievous idea.
⢠Chan had folded a bunch of your clothes and was about to keep it on the top shelf of the closet but you wanted it to be on the middle shelf. So you realised that the opportunity couldn't be missed.
⢠"Oppa, put the clothes in the middle shelf", you said, trying not to smirk, feigning innocence.
⢠Chan froze mid-way, his head whipped towards you so fast, you were surprised he didn't pull a muscle.
⢠"What ? What did you just call me ?", his voice full of disbelief and shock.
⢠"What ? I just said oppa put the clothes in the middle shelf", you shrugged innocently, your tone nonchalant as if it was the most natural thing to do.
⢠Chanâs jaw dropped, and he stared at you as if youâd just declared something groundbreaking. "You,did you just, did you actually ?", he stammered, his usual eloquence completely failing him.
⢠You turned back to your task, suppressing a laugh as you placed the clothes you took from his hands neatly into the cupboard. "Whatâs the big deal ? You told me you'd like it, didnât you?".
⢠"You ! You canât just drop that on me out of nowhere ! I wasnât ready !"
⢠You finally let out a laugh, closing the cupboard and turning to face him fully. "What do you mean, you werenât ready ? Itâs just a word".
⢠"No no no," he said, shaking his head, his expression somewhere between giddy and flustered. "Itâs not just a word. You, you said it so casually ! Like, likeâŚ" He trailed off, running a hand through his hair as if trying to collect himself. "You know what youâre doing to me right now, donât you ?"
⢠You shrugged, folding another shirt. "I have no idea what youâre talking about".
⢠"You've ruined me now. I'll be thinking about this for days now".
⢠"You're so sappy", you said, ruffling his hair.
⢠"And you love it",he shot back.
⢠A fortnight later, you walked into the studio with a nicely packed lunch for all the members. When you stepped in, the guys greeted you enthusiastically.
⢠"Look who's here",Minho said with a smirk. "Oh she's brought food", said Felix, his face lighting up.
⢠"Don't worry guys I brought extra for all of you, so no fighting over the food". You glanced over at Chan who was looking at you interact with the members with a smile on his face. You chatted some more with the guys.
⢠The boys laughed at some joke you made , and some time later their attention was completely focused on the food. Meanwhile you took the specially packed lunch you had brought for Chan and approached him.
⢠"I made this for you Channie", you said with a smile on your face.
⢠"Thanks love", he blushed as he took the box from your hands.
⢠The moment seemed innocent enough until, just as you were about to leave, you turned back to the room, saying your goodbyes to the other members. But as you reached the door, you turned to Chan, a mischievous idea in your head.
⢠"Oppa, eat well," you said sweetly, leaning in to kiss his cheek, your lips lingering on his cheek a moment long than usual before stepping back. You glanced over your shoulder, catching his stunned expression as you added a playful knowing wink before walking out. The room went silent.
⢠"Did she just - ?", Seungmin asked, looking up from his food in shock.
⢠"Oppa ? Since when does Y/N call you oppa ?" asked Hyunjin, his mouth half full with food, his eyes wide.
⢠Felix nearly choked on some rice, hastily patting his chest before he says "Wow i didn't know she even had that word in her vocabulary".
⢠Chan, on the other hand, was frozen in place, holding the lunch box like it was the most precious thing in the world. His face turned a deep shade of red, and he touched the spot on his cheek where youâd kissed him, as if to confirm it actually happened. "She just called me -" he began, his voice soft and incredulous. "She called me oppa a second time."
⢠"Yeah, we heard,"Jeongin deadpanned, though his eyes were still wide.
⢠"And kissed you on the cheek", Jisung added with a grin. "In front of all of us, too. Bold".
⢠"A second time ? What do you mean ?", Changbin asked him.
⢠Chan recounted to his members what happened two weeks prior in brief. He was met with a response of wolf whistles and loud 'woah's and clapping.
⢠Chan turned to glare at them, though his blush gave away his embarrassment. "Shut up guys,"he muttered, though there was no real heat behind his words, hiding his face with his palms. " I didn't know she was going to do that. She just.. caught me off guard again"
⢠"Oh, youâre enjoying this", Jisung said, nudging Chan with his elbow. âDonât even try to deny it".
⢠"Maybe a little", he admitted softly.
⢠"A little ? You look like you're on cloud nine", Hyunjin said smirking.
⢠The room erupted into laughter as Chan buried his face in his hands, his ears burning. " Can we just drop it already ?"
⢠"No way", Minho said. We're not letting you live this one down".
⢠Despite the teasing, Chan couldnât stop the warmth that spread through his chest. The memory of your playful wink and the way youâd said oppa replayed in his mind, making him smile despite himself.
⢠As the laughter died down and the members turned their attention back to the food, Chan sat quietly, still holding the lunch box youâd given him. He couldnât help but think about how effortlessly you managed to turn his world upside down with just a single word.
