heal. your mom may never apologize to you, because she has conditioned herself to believe that she did right by you. she hasn't healed. heal anyway. your father may never apologize to you, because he can only see what he's done right. he hasn't healed. your family members may never apologize to you, because toxicity is what they were raised on. they haven't healed. heal anyway. that "friend" may never apologize to you, because he/she isn't sorry. he/she hasn't healed. if/when they reach their healing, they may seek your forgiveness. be so healed that it won't even matter. heal for you. you owe yourself that much.
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

A Little into You (Junkyu x Reader) (Ch. 36)
Chapter 36 - Sur-reality
Word count: 4.6k words
Genre: Fanfiction, PG13, Comedy, Romance, slight Angst.
A/N: Hi! Here you go, chapter 36! letâs get the ship drama sailingggg~
Y/nâs Apartment Block (Night time)
It was around 7pm-ish that you finally got back from having dinner with Soomin. Your visit on your Treasure friends didnât last long that afternoon, especially since you noticed that Junkyu didnât even say a word towards you the whole time you were there. The rest of the Haenam crew too, didnât interact with you much so you assumed they were all just super tired from their tripâas if you werenât just as tired though.
You admit, you were slightly taken aback by Junkyuâs act of ignorance. Not that you have that much of a reason to be pissed at him. Itâs not like youâre his girlfriend, right?
You stopped in your tracks. You were standing right in front of the elevator in the lobby now.
You let out a sigh as you entered the opening doors, letting it shut slowly as you stared into space.
The both of you like each other, you and Junkyu. You both had several good times together in Haenam. Well, before that too of course.
But todayâŠJunkyu was just being ice cold to you. What got into him?
He likes you, you like him. Nay, youâre both in love with each other. A stronger feeling towards each otherâthatâs what it is. But you both arenât boyfriend or girlfriend.
Then what are we?
Just casually dating one another?
Friends who are in love with each other?
You stepped out of the elevator once it arrived on your floor, your thoughts still running wild on your status with Junkyu.
You let out a tiny gasp just as a random thought popped into your head.
What ifâŠwhat if Junkyu was just treating you as a casualty?
You shook your head at the thought. That canât be it, right? Junkyu doesnât seem to be the type to fool around with girlsâŠright?
Taking in a deep breath, you try to distract yourself from that tall friend of yours.
Alasâyour thoughts on him went back into the back of your head as soon as you see a familiar figure standing outside your front door as you got closer to your home.
âJunkyu?â you asked, afraid that your eyes might be fooling you.
The tall, fair-skinned guy turned his head towards you, previously looking down at the phone in his hand.
His dark brown, bright orbs stared into yours as he watches you slowly approaching him now.
âWhat are you doing here?â You asked again.
âI just wanted to see you,â he shrugs, his spongey voice a little deeper from his serious tone.
âO-oh,â
You blinked several times, wondering what made him come all the way to your place.
âAre you just gonna stand there and not invite me in?â He asked this time, startling you from your thoughts.
âA-ah! Right! I uh, hold on, Iâll key in the passcode,â you stuttered now as you frantically head towards the pinned lock beside your front door.
You had your back facing Junkyu so while you were clumsily unlocking your front gate and door, you couldnât see Junkyu trying to hold onto his smile as he watches you panic on your own.

A Little into You (Junkyu x Reader) (Ch. 35)
Chapter 35 - Back to reality
Word count: 4.4k words
Genre: Fanfiction, PG13, Comedy, Romance, slight Angst.
A/N: Hello~ Iâm back with chapter 35! Drama lesgoooo >< Iâm jk, i miss you all! Hope yâall enjoy this one đ§Ąđ i miss reading yâallâs comments too! Take care and love yâall <3
It had been a day after your Treasure friends had returned to the city, and now it was your turn to leave.
Dongyun helped put your luggage into the trunk of the cab that your boss had sent out to Haenam to go pick you upâas he had promised when he had sent you away last week.
âAhh, this sucks,â your childhood friend sighs out loud. âSure I canât have you to stay for another week?â he asks.
âYou tell that to Joonyoung-ssi,â you said as you rolled your eyes. âOh wait, I mean, Mr Bae;â you corrected as you remembered that your bossâ mum was standing not far from you and Dongyun.
Dongyun chuckled at your action, him wrapping an arm around your shoulder. âGosh, I was getting used to having you around too,â
âI know. But hey, your semester break is ending soon too, no? You wonât be here either if I stayed any longer you know,â
Dongyun was about to answer you back when he felt someone pinching his forearm, making him yelp.
âAhhh! Aunt Nari what was that for??â He unwrapped his arm from you and rubbed the spot that got pinched on his other arm.
âHmph. You had the nerve to put your arm around my girl here when you rejected her countless of times now,â the lady grumbled, making you laugh out loud as your friend gets nagged upon by her.
âNowâI didnât reject her. I rejected the idea of marrying her and being matchmade with her,â he corrected Aunt Nari.
âAigoo! Exactly the same! Now, donât stand too close to Y/n. Iâm gonna take good care of her and make sure my future son-in-law wouldnât have to worry about being jealous of you two,â she nagged as she pushes Dongyun to the side gently.
You scrunched your face at what you heard. âEw who are you matchmaking me with again this time?â
âHey! Be nice! Itâs that gentleman friend of yours of course! Jaehyuk-ssi will definitely take good care of you, you know.â She beamed happily just by the mention of Jaehyuk. Wow, he mustâve really impressed your Aunt Nari; you thought.
Dongyun burst out laughing as he heard this. âHah, Aunt Nari is shipping you with another guy aside from Junkyu!â
âH-hey! You donât have to say it out that loud!â
âHm? Junkyu? I was talking about Jaehyuk, Dongyun-aa. Did you clean your ears properly this week?â Aunt Nari responded, missing the point of what Dongyun had meant earlier.
âNooo I was sayingââ
âOkay, okay hold it up you both. Letâs not talk about my love life any further, please?â you stopped them before their discussion could escalate. Gosh, why are they so interested in your love life though?? If you had let their conversation gone any further you wouldnât be surprised theyâll be talking about naming your future kids too. You shuddered from the thought.

YG Building (Treasureâs Practice Room)
Junghwan entered the practice room with his bagpack hanging on one side of his shoulder. He was still in his school uniform too, implying that their manager had just fetched both him and Jeongwoo from school.
âOh, Junghwan! Whereâs Jeongwoo?â Jihoon greeted the maknae when he sees the boy entering the room.
âHeâs just stopping by the convenience store downstairs,â
âHuh, he better not get any more ramen cup. Heâs had two yesterday.â The leader complained to himself.
âEnough about that, hyung,â Junghwan said as he approaches Jihoon who was sitting on the floor.
It seemed like they were all just chilling in the room. Probably waiting for the rest of their members to arrive before they begin with practice.
The only ones in the room right now were Jihoon, Hyunsuk, Junkyu, Yoshi and Yedam. Including Junghwan that had just arrived of course. The rest were probably hanging out somewhere else in the building.
A/N: Hello hello! How are you all doing? Iâve caught the flu so Iâm resting up while I can and also going to work as usual :âD Hereâs the new chapter yay! I like this one-- well some parts. Thank you for your patience in waiting for this chapter <3 take care always and love you all! <33
Haenam / Potato Field
You were crouching on the ground, digging the soil to harvest the few potatoes that were ripe. âOkay, thatâs the 6th one,â you counted, as you breathe out.
âYah, Kim Dongyun, where the hell are you? Itâs been almost half an hour,â you complained to yourself as you lift your head to look around, just in case your friendâs figure would show up.
Nope, no sign of him.
You let out a sigh and moved forward towards another bed of potatoes, scanning which side to be harvested first this time.
As you were busy digging on some dirt, you finally heard light footsteps approaching you from behind.
âAbout time. I almost harvested one whole bed on my own,â you complained as soon as you heard the footsteps stopping right behind you.
âIâm sorry,â the voice said, panting.
You froze in your position. Wait a minute. Thatâs not Dongyunâs voice.
You swiftly turn your head and sawâJunkyu, panting and trying to catch his breath after half-running to where you were.
âJunkyu? What are you doing here??â
âI--,â he stopped, swallowing in air again. âDongyun said you needed my help so,â
âWha--? Where is he anyways?â
âHe was escorting me here but he stopped halfway for an emergency restroom situation,â
Just like when he was with you earlier, you thought.
Which was kinda coincidental. But also fishy. But then again, Junkyu is here now. And he looks somewhat confused.
âI see.â You said. âWell, uh, I was just harvesting some potatoes and uh, Iâm not sure if there are any extra spadesââ
You stopped talking when Junkyu lifted his hand to show you the spade in his hand.
âDongyun-ssi gave me this earlier,â he grinned.
âOh. Okay then, I guess we could dig around while we wait for him then,â you chuckled softly.
 *
(30 minutes earlier)
The moment Dongyun saw you leaving towards the potato field, he immediately dashed out of the restaurant to head back towards his neighbourâs house.
âOh? Dongyun? I thought you went to harvest potatoes with Y/n?â Aunt Nari said as soon as she saw the young man entering the gates of her home.
Dongyun smiled, catching his breath from all the running he did.

A Little into You (Junkyu x Reader) (Ch. 37)
Chapter 37 - Not his girlfriend
Word count: 5.2k words
Genre: Fanfiction, PG13, Comedy, Romance, slight Angst.
A/N: Hello! I got off work a little late today but uwu here it is, as promised! Thank you for waiting and hope yâall like this one <3
âY/n, is that you?â Doyoungâs voice startled you not far behind where youâre standing now.
âclink clank clinkâ the sound of the metal bowls hitting the concrete floor rang as you felt them slip from your fingers after hearing him call your name.
âD-Doyoung-ssi! What a surprise to see you here!â you stammered as you turn around to look at him.
Doyoung flashed a smile at you as he makes his way towards you now that heâs confident that it was indeed you that he saw.
As soon as he reaches your spot, he immediately lowers himself to pick up the metal bowls that you had dropped earlier.
âIâm so sorry, I didnât mean to startle you,â he said as he dusts off the metal bowls one by one before picking them up.
âW-what? N-no! it wasnât your fault anyways. I was justâŠâ your voice trailed off as you turn around to sneak a peek at Junkyu who was still hiding behind the thrash container not far from where you were standing.
Junkyu met your eyes and shook his head at you, implying that he didnât want Doyoung to know he was hiding back there.
You turned back around to face Doyoung just in time as he was getting back up from his stance to hand over the metal bowls to you.
You accepted them from his hands and thanked him.
âNo biggie. Hey, are you okay? You seemâŠdistracted,â he said, noticing that your eyes would once in a while look elsewhere.
âOh, nothing! I was justâŠcurious as to where the cats I fed had went to,â you chuckled nervously as you lied. You werenât curious about the cats, you were worried about how long Junkyu had to be hiding behind the thrash container if you stayed here any longer with Doyoung.
âI see. You want me to help you find them? I can help you,â he responded. Doyoung was already taking steps towards where Junkyu was hiding and you couldnât help but panic on your own.
Which was why you ended up tugging his arm and making yourself accidentally trip and hit your head against his back.
âOw!â the both of you said at the same time.
âOh my god, Iâm so sorry! I didnât mean toââ you apologised, your hand rubbing your head from the minor accident.
âGosh Y/n, when Jihoon-hyung always complained about you being hard-headed, I didnât expect him to be literal about it,â he chuckled as he rubs his back.
âIâm so sorry Doyoung, Iâwait, what?? Jihoon said what about me??â
âAish thatâs nothing to worry about! You know he likes to joke about these things,â he grinned as he places a hand on your head.
âHe better be joking,â you mumbled under your breath.
Doyoung smiled politely at you and moves his hand away from your head now.
âWell, are we still looking for your cats orââ
âNO!â you interrupted him, not intending to raise your voice though. Your eyes widened as you realise how rude you might have acted towards the younger boy in front of you.
âI-I meanâŠnoâŠ.itâs okay! Iâm sure theyâre all full after being fed,â you tried to smile at him to not make him sense your suspicious behaviour.  âSoâŠwhat brings you down here?â you tried to change the subject.
âOh, right. I almost forgot. I was looking for Junkyu-hyung. You donât happen to see him around hereâŠdo you?â
âWhat?â you stifled a fake laugh. âNo way! What would Junkyu be doing here? Yeah, no, I havenât seen him,â

A Little into You (Junkyu x Reader) (Ch. 34)
Chapter 34 - A little heartbreak
Word count: 4.4k words
Genre: Fanfiction, PG13, Comedy, Romance, slight Angst.
A/N: Hi! Oh gosh I am so so happy to be back here! T^T How are you all? I hope all is well with yâall <3 Also! Hereâs the latest chapter! Pro tip: Get your tissues ready for this chapter-- I cried writing this, no lie. But okie no worries, the next chapter wonât be this sad I promise fhdhsh T^T Happy reading and love yâall! đ§Ąđ
âIs this even the right way?â Jihoon asked Hyunsuk who was walking a little further in front of him.
âOf course! We passed by this area yesterday, remember??â
âI donât know hyungâŠwe could be getting lost,â
Hyunsuk lets out a sigh. âYahh, trust me, okay? I know where to find the potato field,â
Jihoon lets out a sigh as well and groaned, âFine. But letâs hurry. I donât want Jaehyukâs ice cream to melt,â
Hyunsuk nods back at his friend before proceeding in his stepsâa little faster this time since he was excited to show you the ice cream he picked out for you.
The both of them came upon a couple of fields, Hyunsuk confidently striding on the small pathway between the open fields.
âHyung, the fields here are huge. Itâs still not too late to turn back and not get lost, you knowâ
Hyunsuk shakes his head, his steps still going forward on the narrow pathway.
âItâs an open field, Jihoon. Surely we can spot them in this area,â
And so, they kept on walking for another 5 minutes before Hyunsuk stopping completely in his stepsâcatching Jihoon by surprise.
âWhoa donât stop like that, hyung-aa. I almost dropped my ice cream,â
âSee what I told you?? Theyâre right there!â Hyunsuk ignored the younger memberâs complaint and points at you and Junkyu whom were at the open field not far on his right now.
âAigoo, weâre gonna have to take another turn at the end of the field weâre in to get to their side though,â Jihoon whined.
âItâs okay, they donât look like theyâre leaving yet. We can catch up with them,â
âAre you sure? âCause they donât look like theyâre harvesting anything.â Jihoon points out as he noticed you tugging Junkyu to walk in front of you.
Jihoon sighed out loud for the 10th time probably as he followed his hyung again.
And Jihoon was right though. Hyunsuk was heading towards the end of the path, making his way to cross the small four-way path to get to your side of the field when he noticed you and Junkyu walking away from the potato field now.
Hyunsuk turned around to check up on Jihoon, âYou good? Am I walking too fast?â
âYou could slow down a bitâOH!â Jihoon suddenly exclaimed.
âWhat, what?? What happened?â
âN-nothing. Y/n tripped,â he points at the scene he was seeing at the other side of the field.
âWhat?!â Hyunsuk turned back around to see Junkyu helping you back on your feet, making him breathe a sigh of relief since you didnât look like you were hurt badly.
He then stopped for a minute as he watched you laughing from afar. A small smile formed on his face. Even from here, he could feel his heart beating fast when he sees you laughing out loud like that. Your smile, your laughâŠHyunsuk loves everything about you. And he couldnât help but envy Junkyu for being lucky enough to help you out in the field, he thought. Spending time with you has always been fun to him.
âHyung?â Jihoonâs voice pulled Hyunsuk back to reality. âYou okay? Youâve been staring at them for some time now,â Jihoon asked since he was worried if Hyunsuk was hurt in any way from watching you and Junkyu.
âNahh, Iâm good,â he assured his friend. âMaybe Iâll just call out to them from here, no? Seems like a chore to walk all the way to the other side,â Hyunsuk suggested.
if you receive this, you make somebody happy! go on anon and send this to ten of your followers who make you happy or somebody you think needs cheering up. if you get one back, even better! <3
This is so sweet :( Thank you i love you bb đđ§Ą
Hello my wonderful peaches~ i hope y'all enjoyed chapter 42 đ„° i wanted to write more but i figured that since the fic will be ending within few more chapters, I wanted to savour the remaining moments for the next chapters hehe đ„č
Also, just want to let y'all know that I'll be fully occupied this week and the next so i wont be having much time to write đ but! I'll definitely work on the next chapter when i have the time okie? Until then, I'll miss you all a lot đ„șâ€ïžđ§Ą take care, lub you all! đđ
âOh my god,â you groaned as you cover your face with your hands, whilst Yedam still had his phone camera directed towards you and Junkyu.
âAww donât be shy. You both look really good,â Yedam said in his cooing tone.
âYedam? What are you doing here? Are you alone?â Junkyu asked, ignoring the fact that you were trying to hide from embarrassment from the younger member.
At this point you were already hiding behind Junkyu, giving death glares towards Yedam, to which he giggled at as he finally kept his phone in his pocket.
Yedam approaches the both of you, casually walking with his hands in his pantsâ pocket.
âNah, I was with some of the rest. I was coincidentally walking ahead of them and somehow reached here.â
âHow did you know we were here? No one else knew of our date plans,â Junkyu prodded further.Â
âWhat?â Yedam chuckled. âThatâs crazy! I have zero idea that youâd both be here. I was passing by this area when I overheard a group of elder ladies gossiping about a lewd behaviour happening in the bedroom departments.â
Both you and Junkyu turned red upon hearing this. You squeezed Junkyuâs arm, silently panicking if anyone even recognised your boyfriend being the one involved with the âlewd behaviourâ in a public space.
âI mean, I was just curious on what they meant by lewd behaviour so I hurried to see if I could catch a glimpse,â Yedam shrugged as he explained further. âImagine my surprise to see you being on top of Junkyu-hyung, Y/n!â he started laughing at this.
âH-hey! Thatâs not fair! Howâd you even know it was us? It couldâve been any other couple you know,â you argued back.
âOh come on, Y/n,â Yedam smirked. âJunkyu-hyung concealing his identity was already good enough, but what makes you think I canât recognise you anywhere?â
You pout at this. He was right. And the reason you didnât disguise yourself enough was because you were confident that no one would recognise you since youâre not a celebrity or anything. Besides, if you had been in full disguise alongside Junkyu, wouldnât people sense that the both of you might be some sort of celebrity couple on a date?
And speaking of disguisesâŠ
âHey wait a minuteâ youâre not in disguise Yedam,â you realised. You hurried over towards him to pull him behind Junkyu as well, hiding the both of you from the passing people.
âYahâŠyou bothâŠIâm not some shield for you both to hide behind of, you know,â Junkyu stated, as he rubbed his temples.
âOh. Heâs right.â You said back. âQuick! Do something to conceal your identity!â you ordered Yedam, sounding like his manager now.
Yedam placed his hand on your head, patting it gently, âAigoo. You worry too much, Y/n. Besides, Iâm already in disguise, silly,â
You felt your eyebrow twitch at what he said. How can he call that a disguise?? The only difference he had than his usual appearance was that he had put on a pair of glasses on his face and he somehow pushed his hair back whilst wearing a black curved headband,
What makes him think no one would recognise him??Â
You shake your head at him, âOkay fine. If you say so.â
âOh?â Suddenly you heard Junkyu say. âHyunsuk-hyung, Junghwan,â
Yedam and you both peeked out your heads from behind Junkyu, noticing that Hyunsuk and Junghwan was making their way towards the three of you.
âAh, so it was indeed you, Junkyu-aaâ Hyunsuk smiled as he approached you all. âI thought that it looked like you, but I didnât want to risk calling out your name,â
âOh, hello hyung. What brings you here?â
âI was just accompanying Junghwan here to get himself a new study table. Somehow he needed a new one,âÂ
Junghwan nods and smiled as he looked around. âOh? I thought youâre supposed to be on a date today, hyung. Whereâs Y/n-noona?â
âYeah, what brings you here? IâŠdidnât expect you both to be dating here,â Hyunsuk adds.
âWellâŠif youâre both looking for Yedam, heâs behind me with my date,â Junkyu points out with his thumb. He didnât even bother to answer their questions, he just wanted to have them bring Yedam with them so he could resume his date with you.
Hyunsuk and Junghwan moved to see behind where Junkyu was standing, and surely enough, you and Yedam were crouched on the floor, discussing something with serious looks on both your faces, the both of you speaking in low voices at each other.
âUhh, what are you both doing?â Hyunsuk asked, not understanding why the both of you were crouching behind Junkyu, whilst Junkyu himself simply stood there like a lamp post, not moving at all.
If anything, this scene was hilarious to Hyunsuk, but he manages to keep himself from laughing at what was going on in front of him.
âShh Y/n is cutting me a deal right now,â Yedam said as he put a finger to his mouth to signal his hyung not to interrupt.
Hyunsuk shakes his head and ignores Yedam. âCome on Y/n, youâre wearing a skirt right now so I think itâs best if you donât stay here crouching,â he said as he turns to you now.
âOh, right. How inappropriate of me. Sorry,â you said as you hurriedly stood up.
Yedam too, stood up from his pose.
âNoona, hello!â Junghwan greeted you happily as soon as he sees you making eye contact with him.
âOh, hi Junghwan,â you smiled. âAnd hello the rest of yous. I totally forgot to say hi, didnât I?â you flash them an apologetic smile.
âItâs fine,â Hyunsuk smiles back at you. âSo, you both shopping here?â
âYeah. It wasnât planned though. We kind of had an emergency so we switched up our date a little,âÂ
âAhh I see,â Hyunsuk nods.
âWhat a coincidence, noona! I also needed to get a new study table, so I asked for Jihoon-hyung to accompany me here,â Junghwan beamed as he said this. âThis must be fate, huh? Bumping into you here,â
You smiled at the maknae, feeling his good energy literally channeling towards all of you. Junghwan is such a good little brother, and heâs always so nice, you thought to yourself.
âOh? Jihoon-hyung is here too?â Junkyu asked when he heard Junghwan mentioning his best friendâs name.
âAh, oh no. He was supposed to be here but heâs got food poisoning so he called me to go with Junghwan instead.â Hyunsuk explained.
âYeah. Hyunsuk-hyung was supposed to go to Lotte World with the rest but he went here with me instead,â Junghwan said apologetically, probably feeling bad for robbing his hyung from a fun trip with the others.
âAw no, itâs okay. Itâs not like Iâve never been there,â the leader chuckled as he pats the maknaeâs head.
âWhoa. Everyone else went to Lotte World??â your eyes widened in amazement the moment Junghwan mentioned the theme park.
Yedam, Junghwan, Hyunsuk and Junkyu all exchanged glances with each other, noting that your eyes somehow sparkled when asking about the place.
âWow, I heard they have really yummy desserts there, oh wow I really need to ask the rest to share me pictures later on,â you continued after Junghwan nods at your question earlier.
You were already whipping your phone out of your bag, ready to send spam texts to your friends. You havenât been to Lotte World and you were hoping to go there one day so you wanted to really plan out what to do and where to eat and all that so that you could allocate how much to put aside for your spendings.
Yedam nudged Junkyu, silently mouthing to his hyung, âI told you sheâs always wanted to go there,â
Junkyu lets out a sigh, making a mental note to just bring you there himself in the future.Â
âAnyways,â Junkyu spoke up, gaining your attention as you looked up from your phone. âDid they all went to the theme park? Or was there anyone staying back with Jihoon-hyung?â
âAww look at you worrying about Jihoon-hyung,â Yedam answered. âNah, Doyoung and Mashiho-hyung stayed at home with him. The rest all went to Lotte though.â
âThatâs good to hear,â Junkyu said in relief. It would be crazy to leave their leader all alone when heâs sick, he thought.
âOh? But waitâ I know Iâm here to get a new study table, but why are you both here?â Junghwan pauses as he looks around. âAnd why are you both at the bedroom section??â
Hyunsuk too suddenly wondered out of curiosity. Both him and Junghwan waited for an answer from either you or Junkyu but before you could open your mouth to respond, Yedam jumped in to answer them instead.
âI donât know much about why Y/n and Junkyu-hyung are here but I do have something juicy to show you both,â Yedam grinned as he pulls out his phone.
âAh wait! Yedam, I thought we had a deal!â you whined.
âIâm sorry, but this is really important for me to show them,â he winked at you before pulling both the leader and maknae aside with him as he showed them the video he took of you and Junkyu on the bed earlier.
You sighed to yourself and turned to Junkyu. âNot fair. We had a really good deal too,â you mumbled beside your boyfriend.
Junkyu smiled as he pats your head. âWhat deal did you make?â
âWellâ he offered to delete the video and not tell anyone about what we did if I come over to do chores at their dorm for a week,â you shrugged. âWell, he can kiss that deal goodbye now,â
Both you and Junyku heard the trio gasp and fuss over the video a few feet away from you both.
âGasp! What theâ wait, hold on, replay it again!â
âI know Y/n-noona is older than Junkyu-hyung but I would never imagine her to be this daring,â
âNo, wait, let me zoom on them closerâ see that?? Look at how sheâs staring at him omg,â
You rolled your eyes at them even though you know they werenât looking at you. This was why you wanted Yedam to delete the video. You know they would fuss over it like a flock of birds fussing over a piece of worm.
And in your defense, itâs not like what happened between you and Junkyu was THAT scandalous, you know?
âHey, come on guys, donât dwell on it that much. Nothing happened anyways. Y/n got pushed and accidentally fell on top of me, thatâs all, reallyâ Junyku tried to explain.
The three of them turned to look at the both of you, nodding to themselves and then approaching you both again.
âWell, if you say so. Y/n, I know weâre of the same age but letâs admit itâ Iâd never be brave enough to do what you did,â Hyunsuk jokes, grinning when he sees you pouting and glaring at him in response.Â
âEyyy letâs not embarrass Y/n-noona like this,â Junghwan said, defending you. Although he himself was still smiling cheekily at you and Junkyu.
âOkay guys, cut it out, Y/n is embarrassed enough,â Junkyu said, smiling a little because he was actually kind of enjoying your reaction at being teased.
âOkay, okay. Weâll move on.â Yedam said. âSo? Iâm assuming that one of you is looking for a bed then?â
âYeah. Weâre shopping for Y/n today. She had a bed emergency,â
âAww, what happened to your bed, noona?â
âWell, the bed kind of broke soâŠâ you answered.
You were about to explain that the bed was a freebie from the landlord since the day you moved into your place and it was already old by then so the bottom breaking was expected in your point of view but then Yedam and Junghwan were no longer listening in on your explanation the moment you mentioned about your bed breaking.
Yedam and Junghwan exchanged looks with one another before grinning at their Junkyu-hyung.
âWow Junkyu-hyung. We didnât expect Y/nâs bed to break that easily,â Yedam smirked.
âWhaâ? Werenât you both listening? Y/n just said that her bed was oldââÂ
Junkyu didnât manage to finish his sentence since both the younger members had already dragged him to the side, dialing on their phones to call the other members to share with them the revelation they discovered about their Junkyu-hyung today.
You watched as the three of them fuss over about your broken bed, again, few feet away from you.
âHm, they werenât really listening to what I was saying, were they?â you sighed, crossing your arms.
âWell, you had them at the part where you mentioned your bed being broken,â Hyunsuk grinned at you.
âYeah, but it broke because it was old. Thereâs nothing to make fun of about it. I mean, what else could they think wouldâve made the bed brokeââ you stopped yourself when you realised what the younger members could have thought of.
You couldnât even finish your sentence as you paused, not moving an inch. You felt your cheeks heating up. They couldnât have thought that the reason your bed broke was because you and Junkyu did that, no??
Hyunsuk noticed you tensing up and falling silent, to which he understood that you couldâve felt embarrassed of what you were about to say. He immediately wraps his arm around your shoulder, pulling you close to his side.
âHey, hey now. Theyâre just teasing. You know how they are when it comes to Junkyu. Well, Junkyu and you. You both are their favourite couple to tease now. Itâs not like they have any other couples to tease on, right?â Hyunsuk said.
You ease yourself into Hyunsukâs hold, no longer tensed out about what the kids were teasing about.
ââYouâre right. I shouldnât get too worked up about this,â you chuckled, your head looking down.Â
âExactly.â Hyunsuk smiled, his hand gently patting your head.
You lift your head up to look at him now, âOkay but just to be clearâ Junkyu and I havenât done anything like that, okay? I mean, weâre still new in this relationship too, soââ
âItâs okay, Y/n. And even if you guys did, you guys are a couple. Itâs not like the rest of us have the right to tell you both what to do and not do,âÂ
You sighed. âI know. I justâŠâ you shake your head. âThanks for being so supportive, Hyunsuk. Youâre such a sweet friend,â you smiled softly at him, as you rest your head against his shoulder.
Hyunsuk hummed in response to what you said, pulling you closer to him, his hand gently caressing your hair.
After 10 seconds of letting you lean against him, Hyunsuk gently taps your head, telling you to save your boyfriend now.
âThatâs enough of our time together, Y/n. Your boyfriend probably needs saving now,â he chuckles as you lift your head from his shoulder.Â
You looked over not far from the both of you, Junkyu, Yedam and Junghwan all still going over some kind of debate. You could clearly see how Yedam and Junghwan were enjoying their ganging up on Junkyu since Junkyuâs facial expressions showed him all exasperated from explaining that he wasnât the reason your bed broke.
You turned to look at Hyunsuk, him doing the same to you. âWell, that was nice small talk, Hyunsuk. Iâm glad we ran into each other today,â you smiled at him. âIâm gonna go save my man now,âÂ
You left Hyunsukâs side and called out towards the younger boys, âOkay now, kiddos, Leave my boyfriend alone. Heâs gonna be all traumatized if you guys keep teasing him like this,â
âAww come on Y/n, why are you both denying it? We all know what went down between you two,â Yedam grinned, trying to drag you into his tease party.
âNu uh, youâre not dragging me into this,â you shake your head. âBesides, donât talk about this kind of stuff in front of Junghwan! Heâs still a kid too, you know?â
âNoona, Iâm a grown up too,â Junghwan pouted.
âBut youâre our baby!â You argued back, to which Junkyu took advantage of hiding behind you, despite you being shorter than him.
âAigoo, if only Jaehyuk-hyung and Jeongwoo hadnât ended the video call with us earlier, we couldâve let them join in on making fun of you, Y/nâ Yedam said.
âNo way! You told them about my broken bed already??â You let out a sigh, âOh my god, imagine how much clearing up I have to do now. Who else have you told this about, huh?â
Junkyu lowered down his stance and whispered in your ear to which you gasped out loud after hearing what he said. âOh heck no, gimme your phone Yedam, it has too many evidence in thereââ
Hyunsuk watches the four of you continue with all your teasing and bargains with one another, smiling to himself, feeling like a proud dad just watching over his kids fighting over a game.
He lifts his hand to shoulder, the one you leaned on earlier, letting his hand rest on it.
He was happy that he was able to talk to you casually, keeping you close to him like just now. He was also glad that he had the strength to ask you to leave his side and go back to your boyfriend because if he hadnât done soâŠhe knew he wouldâve kept you close to him much longer and that wouldâve been...wrong.
Hyunsuk takes in a deep breath, exhaling it all out, exhaling all his desire to want you be by his side alongside the breath he lets go of.Â
Y/nâŠI love you so muchâŠbut I also love the fact that youâre so happy with Junkyu recentlyâŠPlease, be happy alwaysâŠokay?
Hyunsuk cleared his throat, still smiling as he approached the four of you nowâ âOkay everyone, thatâs enough. Letâs get going already.â
***
IKEA (almost noon)
Junkyu and you walked side by side, hand in hand; casually strolling past the kids department now.
âHow much further âtil the checkout counters?â you asked the tall man beside you.
âJust a little more way down. Weâre gonna pass through the giant shelves where they keep all the stocks and then a bit further than that weâll reach the counters.â
âAhh I see.â you looked around, scanning to see if thereâs anything that might catch your eye.
You wanted to get something for the other boys as well, thinking that you havenât given them anything throughout your friendship with them.
Not that they would require you to give them gifts thoughâ you know that. But still, youâd like to at least give them something in return for their kindness to you all these while.
âOh?â you stopped in your tracks when you saw the piled-up plushies in the corner. âOh, there! Can we stop by there, Kyu?â you pointed out with your finger.
Junkyu looked over to where you were pointing at, grinning right after realising that despite your somewhat mature exterior, you still have some kiddy side inside you.Â
âSure, letâs.â he smiled at you.
As soon as the both of you were headed towards the plushies section, you both heard Junghwan calling out from behindâ âAw hey! Theyâre heading towards the plushies! I want to go see that section too,â
Both you and Junkyu turn around at the same time, instantly meeting eyes with the trio from earlier.
âUhh, I thought you guys left earlier? What are you all doing here?â you asked.
âYeah, are you allâŠfollowing me and Y/n??â
âWhat? No, no! It was just a coincidence! We parted ways but somehow we ended up in this area, and coincidentally the both of you were walking in front of us so,â Hyunsuk explained, an apologetic look on his face.
You exchanged glances with Junkyu briefly before turning back to look at your friends. âHmm. I guess we could all just walk together. Since weâre all here, you know?â you shrug.
âYay! Letâs go look at the plushies, noona!â Junghwan cheered as he pulled you along with him, leaving his hyungs.
âButâŠweâre on a dateâŠâ Junkyu said quietly.Â
Hyunsuk heard this, and so he walks up towards the younger boy and pats his back. âSorry man, weâll leave right after we get Junghwanâs stuff, aight?â
âYeah, hyung. We didnât mean to barge in on your date,â Yedam adds.
âNo no, itâs fine. Letâs just head over to them. Y/n seems happy anyways,âJunkyu responds softly, a small smile forming on his lips as he watches you and Junghwan laughing together, picking up each one of the plushies and showing it to one another.
***
After running around and exploring each of the departments available at the place, the boys and you were already headed towards the checkout counters.Â
Junghwan lined up behind you with his box of study table in his hands.
âYou sure you donât want to pay along with us, Hwannie? We can have the items delivered together,â you offered, as Junkyu helped you scan the barcode on the giant box of the bed frame you chose, along with the heavy roll of your mattress.
Junghwan shakes his head, âNah, itâs fine noona. Iâll just do checkout on my own,â
âOkay then.â you turned to face Junkyu again, checking the self-checkout screen if all of the items have been scanned.Â
âHmm, are you sure these chocolates are enough for the boys? Maybe I should get them something else too?â you asked your boyfriend, worried that the rest of your Treasure friends would not be satisfied with what you got them.
âAww theyâll be okay with whatever you get them, Y/n. Besides, the Ikea chocolates taste good too,â Junkyu assured you.
You narrowed your eyes at him. âI didnât know you eat their chocolates too,â
âYeah, you had some in your fridge, remember? I just took a piece to try it, and well, itâs not too bad,â he shrugs.
You gave his arm a light squeeze, âHm. So youâre eating chocolates from my fridge now,â
Junkyu smiles at you, his head tilting as he stares at your face with a dreamy gaze.
You too, caught yourself hypnotized with his eyes, allowing yourself to stare back at him.
âOh god, just hurry up will ya?â the both of you heard a voice groaning.
Both you and Junkyu snapped out of your trances and turned to see Yedam, beside Junghwan, his phone in his hand just like earlier today.
âGosh Yedam, one of these days I might as well steal your phone from you,â you scowled at him.
Yedam grinned in return as he lowers his phone, âHeh. Come on Y/n, you know the both of you are our source of entertainment now, right?â
You rolled your eyes at him. âSure, sure,â you turn back to Junkyu, noticing that he has already made the payment with his card.Â
âOh? Junkyu, you didnât have to pay for the whole thingââ
âIâm gonna go send the bed frame and mattress to the delivery counter, okay? Iâve already set the delivery to tonight by the way. So you can just hang on to the stuff we bought for the rest, okay?â he smiles as he says this.
âAh, uh, sure,â you walked forward, gathering the chocolate bars and the plushy into your small shopping bag.Â
âIâll be right back,â Junkyu said, before leaning in to kiss you on your cheek.
You were taken aback by this, the fact that your boyfriend actually kissed you in public.Â
You noticed Junkyuâs complexion turning red, as he backed away from you and pushed the trolley towards the delivery counter.
You raised your hand to your cheek, feeling his kiss still lingering on your skin.
âNoona, how do we pick the delivery date again?â Junghwan asked you, him facing the checkout screen.
You turn around and move closer to him and help him with the delivery details before he finally manages the payment on his own.
âThanks noona,â he said after heâs settled with his purchase.
âYouâre welcome. Aigoo our boyâs doing his own shopping. What a grown up you are, hwannie,â you couldnât help but to coo at the young boy in front of you.Â
âWhat are you saying, noona? Of course Iâm a grown up too, like the rest of the hyungs,â he blushes, thinking that itâs ridiculous how much you baby him despite him being in high school already.
You shake your head at him and smiled, âAigoo nooo donât say that. Donât grow up too fast,â
Junghwan pulls you close to him and wraps an arm around your shoulder. âLook at how tall I am compared to you, noona. How can you tell me not to grow up,â he giggles as he says this.
You were about to respond to Junghwan when you heard Yedam speaking up from behind the both of you. âOkay, okay. Break it up, you both. Junghwan better get his table to the delivery counter now. I see a line forming over there,â Yedam said as he points at the line of people, Junkyu too, standing in the line with his trolley in front of him.
âAh. Yedamâs right. You should go, Junghwan,â you agreed.
âOkay. Iâll see you guys at the entrance outside?â Junghwan said before leaving with his box of study table in his hand.
âOh! You know what, we forgot to tell Junkyu-hyung that weâll all gather at the entrance,â Yedam said.
âOh right! Iâll just text himââ you said as you reach for your phone in your bag but then Yedam had beat you to it.
âNah, I donât think Junkyu-hyung would check his phone when heâs lining up. Iâll go and let him know. The both of you just go ahead and wait outside at the entrance,â Yedam said to you and Hyunsuk, sounding more like an order rather than an offer actually.
âB-butââ you voiced out but Yedam was already walking away from you and Hyunsuk.
The both of you turned to look at each other.Â
âWellâŠI guess weâll just go to the entrance then?â Hyunsuk suggests.
