compliments, lots of them. Full on fanboying, love filled eyes.
When you blurted out loud one day that you felt like going shopping to cure your boredom, he didn't hesitate to pick up the car keys and accompany you shopping. However, if they could be a bit blunt, you were somewhat taking very long in the mall. You laughed when you heard them whine from outside as you were finally trying on clothes. The moment you stepped out in your first outfit, he felt like his breath was taken away. He wordless-ly stepped closer to you, reaching his hands out to wrap them around your waist, wanting to pull you closer.
"Oh sweet heavens, look at you my baby look at you!! Wow ... just...wow"
"hahaha aren't you embarrassed people are looking at us?"
"Wow you look absolutely gorgeous i think I'm falling in love all over again"
◆ SONG MINGI & CHOI JONGHO ◆
surprised and suggests photoshoots, maybe couple dress ups.
Busy, busy, busy. Everyone in Ateez is busy preparing for their biggest comeback yet with Deja Vu. Your boyfriend was no exception even though he is already dressed because he was brainstorming poses. A little frustrated with himself, you came by a whirlwind of a surprise as you strutted in matching Deja Vu goddess dress making the crews' jaw drop and the members clapping at the confidence you were showing. He turned around to see you and swore he entered heaven because how was he so blessed with such divine presence such as yourself? He could not take his eyes off of you or your dress but certainly not shy of compliment, matching your confidence and pulls you against him on set. The photographer played along and tens of minutes later, you just had your first photoshoot with your boyfriend.
"Thank your being my pose inspiration, gorgeous"
◆ KANG YEOSANG & CHOI SAN ◆
In love, prepares for a spontaneous dinner date. no time is to be lost!
When his head turned to face the door, he saw you walk in with rows of bags on both arms. It looked like you were ready to fall due to unbalance, so he got up and rushed to take some of the weight off. He laughed at you, asking "what did you buy so much?”
“I promise you I didn’t mean to…” he knew there was more to that, “it’s just just there was a mega sale going on …”. That seriously got him into fits of laughter. He is laughing at your body language, head down and swaying your legs like a child getting caught. You shooed your boyfriend out so you could do a try on haul without being disturbed. You only went out to show him when you wore your favourite purchase, that immediately became his too!
“Ohh my god, you look gorgeous. Gimme 10 minutes baby, you wait here! Oh, I’m going to dine-date you so good tonight!” That was the start of a rather silly dinner date, buying you flowers in front of you. You didn’t mind because honestly, it was just so cute!
◆ KIM HONGJOONG & JUNG WOOYOUNG ◆
And queue the love noises. Get ready to be shown off like a model; his model.
“God, tell me how lucky was I to get such a hot girlfriend like you??” you heard your boyfriend yell from the other side of the room as you changed into your most favourite outfit. His sudden outburst turned the entire photoshoot crew into laughter. You could hear some of the staff jokingly play around as they called out to you on how jealous they were that you had a boyfriend so in love with you. You hollered back at them, letting them know how it really felt if they were in your shoes. Not a minute later and the floor sounded like an alpha wolf was present, the whistles and howls he made to hype you up. Rotating the camera in a dramatic way actually gave some awesome shots, surprisingly.
“No no, it’s all in the model, it's all you baby...all you”

◆ KIM HONGJOONG ◆
Big dog for a relatively small man who has an even bigger heart. It's not always he brings his dog to work with him considering her size and temper, she might become a disturbance to some staffs while working since she is a very active dog. It definitely surprised him when the head producer barged into his room laughing, trying to tell him that his dog has a thing for feet and was playfully licking the feet of one of their dancers. He face palmed himself and said,
"Someone tell me why i adopted her again..."
◆ PARK SEONGHWA ◆
Another dude who has a big dog with a big heart. Everywhere they go, almost always, Seonghwa will be stopped because people would ask to pet his dog. That was how pretty his dog was and for good reasons. Seonghwa bought only the best for his dog from food to toys to vets and fashion. It surprised him when one day on Halloween, it was his dog that stopped a lady in her tracks, showing its belly all because they had matching witch hats,
"Thats new...welp miss lady, I hope you like witch dogs"
◆ JUNG YUNHO ◆
If you were to guess what kind of pet Yunho would care for, you'd think a dog but you're wrong. This giant had a pet fishes, clown fishes to be exact and his first ever clown fish is named 'Corn'. Quite the unique name and a unique personality. Corn is territorial but absolutely loves his dad and will always greet Yunho whenever dad comes home. Yunho is certain that his fish is human because of this behaviour.
"His name is Corn, as in corn-snakes because pattern but fish form. Smart right?" He'd brag.
◆ KANG YEOSANG & JUNG WOOYOUNG ◆
"Whose bloody brilliant idea was it that the two of you little shits get birds as pets?" asked Hongjoong, pinching the valley between his eyes.
"Hyung's right, the two of you are already annoying..." someone seems to be on the same page.
"Hey! Be nice ... Wooyoung wanted to adopt just one but the next birdie was too cute to pass" defended Yeosang. WooSang insisted they did proper research and did not just get them on impulse.
"And besides ... you've seen them on the videos I sent right? They're sooo cute!!" beamed Wooyoung.
"Them mating and being lovers ... was something I did not expect ... my poor baby" Yeosang faked sobbed, earning a wack on the head by Wooyoung.
"Ill have you know my pet is a dignified little man!" scream Wooyoung, ready to attack Yeosang but held back by Mingi. Yeosang scoffed at such bold claims.
"Ooh my ears hurt..." whined San.
◆ CHOI SAN ◆
Since the day Jongho brought in his new cat, San had been thinking of getting Byeol a sibling. He invited Seonghwa to the adoption centre and 2 months later, he finally adopted him. San was for sure nervous, taking into account Byeol's breed traits and introducing a kitten into a claimed territory. Unfortunately, Byeol did not welcome the kitten as well as San wished for. She hissed and tried to attack back if she's ever unhappy. San's determination saved the family because a month later, Byeol is finally opening up to her new brother.
"Its a long way to go, but I'm proud of her. She's gonna be a great big sister"
◆ SONG MINGI ◆
It'd be a lie to say Mingi wasn't envious of his members who had pets of their own. He'd been wanting his own and everyone knew that, even Atinys, but he hasn't been able to adopt any. Imagine cuddling up to his own fur buddy when night falls and his curled up underneath the warm blankets. So his members decided to help him. They blindfolded him and took him to the pet store, to surprise him to 2 ferrets. No brainer Mingi was ecstatic and they instantly connected.
"Did you guys do this? For me? I'm gonna cry...thank you thank you thank you!!"
◆ CHOI JONGHO ◆
Did he want a pet? He isn't opposed to it. Was he looking for a pet? Not really. And that is exactly what fate gave him, he got adopted by a cat. He was alone and on his way to 7-Eleven, when a fully black long haired cat meowed at him from afar. It caught his attention, so he got it some kitty food. After feeding it one time, the maknae of Ateez now has his own night furry, but cat form. On the 5th day, he decided that its time to introduce the little dragon to his hyungs during one of their practices. Now the little dragon has 2 parents.
"You wouldn't want to linger more Sannie hyung ..... or I'll tell Byeol" and that was a threat.

Giving Hongjoong a massage while he works on the fine tunings back in the studio at 1am. He's telling you that you should be at home and fast asleep already, but the minute your warm hands starts gripping his shoulders, his body automatically melts into your body. He's able to finish on time because of your support, and once the members heard their new song, they were sure it'll be a big hit. You left home with him only for him to shower you with all the kisses!
◆ PARK SEONGHWA ◆
Running Seonghwa a bath as a surprise when he comes back from shooting a reality show outdoors. He could've taken a quick clean up at the restrooms provided on set, but he'd rather much be in a little bit of dirt than not really feeling clean. The moment he saw you sitting on the edge of the bathtub, he broke into the biggest sigh of relief, showering you with endless thanks. It ended up as a friendly war between who was more thankful towards each other.
◆ JUNG YUNHO ◆
Spending a day at the local cats and dog café, watching him being all smiley since you were unfortunately held up the other time. It was on his special day at that. As much as he repeated to you that he understood your circumstances, you felt sorry that you weren't there. So, you rented a special slot for Yunho at the pets café, knowing full well how much he loved these furry friend, bring all happiness to his heart and he kept calling for you to look him and the pets.
◆ KANG YEOSANG ◆
So you're standing there as still as a sim, alone with your so called apron now turned into a cloud of flour, completely bamboozled. You had prepared all the ingredients before hand and was closely following the instructions of the virtual chef, trying to cook the perfect spicy - honey seasoned fried chicken for Yeosang. Yet, you were baffled at how burnt they looked. He came home to you like this, and laughed at your face, making you wish you could shoved the overly smoked chicken meat.
◆ CHOI SAN ◆
He was feeling rather down in the dumpsters one night and you didn't know why. He told you that it was a just a random blues that'll go away soon. Then morning, you shook him awake as his droopy eyes tried to focus on you. You were wearing one of his older taekwondo outfits, all eager to pounce on him in a game of wrestling match! Much to his amusement, already predicting that you'd nag to win.
◆ SONG MINGI ◆
The poor rapper has been copped up only in the studios and back at the dorms for a while now. It wasn't like things were urgent but Mingi was worried about his own performance and felt like he needed to practice more. You had to practically drag him out for a day of shopping and he seemed like he really needed it. Although he ended up making you model at least 80% of everything, but it made him happy!
◆ JUNG WOOYOUNG ◆
The next time he yells your name only for it to be nothing, you swore you'd go insane! You told him to focus on the steps carefully because the dance instructor warned him that foot work was rather a doozy. But no, he acted like a clown and now you're one to nurse his twisted ankles. He rather took advantage of this and made you come over to him as he pleased, basking in the irritation present on your face. And guess what? He'd do it again and again, and you'll love him the same either way!
◆ CHOI JONGHO ◆
Another one who you're nursing for. Out of frustration that his voice wasn't on the same boat as him during practice, he had hurt himself on the weightlifts. You gently tried to remind him to not be so hard on himself and that everyone has their bad days, but he didn't seem to feel better about that. So he's fully enjoying his time being bed-ridden for the next couple of days as you care for him. Bringing him his favourite meals, cuddling with him whenever he calls for you, refreshing him with a towel every now and then. It was a lot of hard work but Jongho knew how much you're willing to do for him and he never lets you forget that he appreciates you to the moon and back!

"-and I told San that wearing that would really make him look short in pictures but did he listen? no, he didn't"
"I thought it would look cute!" defended San. Mingi just kept looking at him with a smug that he so wanted to wipe off. San's eyes almost saying 'say one more thing, i dare you' but in tiny.
"Atinys! Mingi's bullying me! Tell him Tinys, I looked good right?" whined San. Immediately the chat flew like rapid wind. It was literally half - half, one sided with Mingi to tease San further and the others cooed San so he won't pout anymore.
"I think I agree with Mingi on this one Atinys" you laughed, making San wail rather dramatically on his bed.
"you two are so mean...this is why you're best-friends with YunGi! meanies"
"I'm just better at fashion than you" said Mingi, full of confidence. Well deserved confidence honestly. Recently, Mingi made headlines for days on end when he uploaded the series of street casual photos, wearing his grey fit. Song Mingi was born a model.
The room went silent and the 3 of you continued to read the chat, addressing the casual 'i love you's' and 'please say hi to_'s comments.
"Everyone, Wooyoung just texted me he's wearing my birthday merch nightwear" spoke San, looking up from his phone into the camera, "Jung Wooyoung, are you watching me? I don't believe you"
5 minutes later and the hotel room busted open with a screaming Wooyoung charging towards his best-friend San, a heavy pillow in hand and ready to take down what seemed to be his mortal enemy. Wooyoung striked fast and hard that he sent San flying to the side, earning a yell in return.
San of course, did not back down. He quickly grabbed whatever pillow nearby and fought back a small yet satan's spawn Wooyoung. San's arm workout was paying off. His ability to keep hitting with consistency was impressive.
The fight started off with declared wars between the offense and the defense, until you stepped in. You tried to come in between WooSan since they were still in the middle of doing a live stream. Alas, it was the wrong move. The two of them ganged up on you and challenged you.
"if you can bring us down..." started San
"we'll be your slaves for a whole month" of course satan's spawn would say that. Even San whacked his head to his left, with a look questioning 'why the hell would you bet that you idiot!'. But Wooyoung being Wooyoung, he was a cocky one. He was sure WooSan was going to win against you.
That was until you flipped your head to face him, with a psycho smile and tackled little Wooyoung to the floor, wrestling him for what seemed like forever victory. You kept punching his sides as hard as you could and sure he was fighting back, but he couldn't help himself to a giggle fest as if he was being tickled.
"keep laughing like this you lil shit and i will make sure it'll be your alarm tone every 5am!!" you proclaimed, fully slamming your body to him, only for him to yell,
"NEVER!!" it was a wonder how none of the next room people didn't come to complain, "Choi San! Avenge me!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"BRING IT ON SHORT MOUNTAIN!!"
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
At the sound of heavy footsteps, the manager turned around and finally sighed relief seeing Yunho, "thank goodness you came Yunho-yah"
Yunho just laughed when he walked further in, taking the state of his members and you sprawled out on top of each other in rather questionable positions.
"What happened here? It looks like an exploded mine-field" he laughed, shaking his head.
"Wooyoung started a pillow fight mid live streaming out of nowhere" replied the manager. He sounded bewildered but has come to accept it.
"Of course it Wooyoung. It's always Wooyoung" said Yunho, thinking 'not surprised'. Wooyoung has a special bond with Yunho and acted more like a little yet mischievous brother around Yunho. Sometimes he would bite people out of nowhere. Yunho thinks it's something he learned from San - monkey see monkey do.
The tall teddy bear squated down near you and poked your cheeks trying to wake you up.
*poke* *poke* *poke*
You only returned an unconscious groan, upset that your sleep was being disturbed.
"Hey sleepyhead. Wake up, let's go sleep in our room"
When you continued to sleep, he placed his arm around your back and under your waist to hoist you up and carry you bridal style back to your shared room. He laid you down, kissed your forehead and let sleep take over him too.
Morning came and Yunho needed you awake since he couldn't eat breakfast by himself. He missed the morning call with the members since he was so deep in sleep as if he was the one involved in the pillow fight last night. He thought of different ways he could wake you up but settled on being sweet instead. "Hey! Wake up" whisper-yelled Yunho sounding a little mumbled since he was peppering kisses all over you. He knew he'd get in trouble for it but he didn't care yet.
"If you don't go and brush your teeth first, its war Jung Yunho"
All hairs on him stood up and he felt fear run through his veins at the sound of you being awake and that was the first thing you said to him.
"Ma'am yes ma'am" He was not taking risks. He knew you wouldn't hurt him but he had enough respect to your preferences. Plus he also liked it when you were a bit bossy around him. You silently laughed. Your trick works every time.

"I gave you 20 bucks to buy ice cream. So tell me, my dear friend who I am very close to strangling ... what are all these things??"
Was it another normal day in Ateez? It absolutely is, especially if you find a Wooyoung bullying a Hongjoong; specifically Hongjoong's wallet.
"We did ... but others too, see!" beamed Yunho, dangling the other convenience store plastic bag in hand with plenty of besides ice cream.
"You stress too much hyung ... chillll" waved Wooyoung, wanting to dismiss the situation like he did nothing. Someone please help Hongjoong, he really does seem to be on the verge of crying right then and there.
"I was supposed to track my expenses starting this month! Waahhh" cried their leader.
"You can see everything that we got its not they're invisible ... dramatic much geez" plopped down Wooyoung right onto his captain's lap, grinning hard that it made him look like a fox laughing.
"Poor captain ... you guys bully him too much" the voice likely belonged to San, but he was nowhere to be seen. He was probably taking a bath .... with the door open,
"how many times do i have to tell you to close the door even if you're in the bath?? We do not want to see your naked body Choi San!" scolded Yeosang. He went into the bedroom to fetch his ear-buds, but accidentally caught a glimpse of San in the bathtub.
"I don't mind seeing them ... open the door wider San!" flirted Wooyoung, winking at a disgusted Yeosang.
"Dear god, is there ever a day we stop yelling?" asked Seonghwa to the sky.
It was another day in the Ateez dorm. Besides the bickering between Wooyoung and their captain, San just wanting to give Yeosang some love in his own special way, in one room it was quiet. Suspiciously quiet to be exact.
Underneath the lilac blankets and grey covers, lay 2 figures. Both of them had fallen asleep in each other's arms. They looked so cozy and peaceful, god help anyone who disturbed them because Seonghwa will not let that happen. Not if he could do anything about it.
*flashback*
"Why is today so boring" you sighed, looking out of the window just watching the clouds go by. There were not even interesting shapes for you to trace and make something out of. Dang it.
"It's not that bad" a voice from behind soothed. Or at least tried to.
"Mingi ... I did not do anything at all today!"
For a person like you, who always needed to do something, days like these were boring. You felt lethargic and you did not like it. You and the boys have pretty much explored the entire area within 50km and did not feel like re-visiting anytime soon.
What you really wanted was to go camping. Even if it was glamping, you wouldn't mind. You just wanted to be around nature and hear the sounds of the river flow. Maybe take a few pictures of the glistening blue streams. Rest under the shades and cook up a smoked meal you made under the campfire. Maybe you'd even sing the infamous SpongeBob campfire song.
But no. The boys had to rest since they have a tour coming up and going alone was something you didn't feel like doing. Sure, you could go alone but everything is more fun with the boys.
And Mingi knew that. He knew a lot about you. Around you, he was the type to sit back and observe the little things you liked. Books is definitely one of them. He knew you weren't always reading, but you had a good size of library. So he comes up with a plan.
"Do you wanna read me a story?" He asked. To you, it seems out of the blue. Simply because as much as Mingi likes poetry, he doesn't like reading. Still, he had a couple of collections; most of them were gifts from people who thought he liked reading.
"Huh? Why the sudden request?" you question him.
"I just felt like taking a nap ... since it's not too hot or too cold right now" he shrugged. Mingi liked naps, a lot. So you didn't question it more and agreed.
"Got any books in mind?" You asked, already in front of his book shelf, scanning each title. He had some interesting ones. Some colourful, some subtle. He told you to just randomly pick and so you did, a baby blue cover that read "My Moving Art".
You tucked yourself into his insanely comfy bed and you swore you could've fallen to sleep instantly if it weren't for his voice calling out to you.
"Hey! No sleeping before me!" whined Mingi. So you start reading it to him. Unknowingly, you even acted out the dialogue.
In moments like this is when Mingi can confidentially say he has a huge crush on you. You guys spend so much time together that he had fallen for you. Amazingly enough, you didn't know.
'After all the romance book you've read, you still are as clueless as ever dear best friend' Mingi thought to himself. But you can't blame him, he wasn't one to drop that many hints.
"God i love your voice baby" he murmured. It seemed like he was in between sleeping and being awake, but his voice was low and husky.
Something about it made the butterflies in your tummy dance like crazy, so you had to hide that embarrassment before he sees it. What was making it worse was the very fact that Mingi very evidently larger hands were on you as you sat up criss-cross, front facing him. His right arm went behind and circled your waist, landing on your hips while his left stayed on top of your thighs.
His fingers circled on your skin, lightly massaging it but making your head dizzier by the second. His fingers massaging you felt so good but you were too shy to say anything about it, afraid of facing him and the side of you you weren't willing to let out anytime soon.
Thankfully though, he soon fell asleep. His breathing was calm and you wish yours was too so you ignored the butterflies haywiring in your tummy. When your best friend is off in dreamland, what do you do? Follow him of course! You forcefully pushed yourself against him but he happily welcomes you in a warm embrace, kissing the top of your head before falling back to sleep.
*end of flashback*
"Hey .... has anyone seen Jongho?" asked San, coming out of the bathroom in a bathrobe with wet hair.
"No but can I see you underneath that? *wink wink*" whenever he can, Wooyoung will always flirt.
"If you don't stop flirting, I will fight you" warned Hongjoong. No, he was secretly jealous because Seonghwa doesn't flirt with him anymore. That was his fault though, for being so tsundere. But we all know Seonghwa's flirty phase will come again, so no worries there. Good ole' 'couple's' problems ...
"I've sacrificed 4 apples by now" there comes Jongho rising from behind the kitchen isle, fruit knife in hand, hair out of place and looking defeated.
"What you doin?" asked Yunho.
"He wants to peel the skin off in one go" answered Yeosang, not bothering to look up from his mobile game.
"I nearly succeeded though. That's enough. I'm going to bed. Goodnight everyone"
"It's only 6pm tho??"
"Your point?" Silent, "exactly. Goodnight" no one was going to see him for the rest of the night as he hibernates just like a bear would.
"Oh shit we forgot the sleepover at Changbinnie's!"

Ding-dungg-ding-dungg-dung-dungg-ding-dunggg
On a bright yet cool sunny day, the 17-year-old science students of HaByeol High had to stay back until 6pm for extra tuition classes. That meant that Wooyoung and his friends had to spend more torturous hours in school seeing each other's greasy faces and crinkled school outfits. They were exhausted to say the least.
They have extra classes 3 times a week and they never change classroom locations like the art students did. They had no reason to. All science related labs just so happened to be located on the same top floor of the school building. While the art kids got to walk to different buildings or small sheds on the school grounds depending on which class and which teacher.
"it's going to rain" muttered Mingi, looking at the bright sky while spacing out. They were all resting waiting for the tuition teacher to enter and start class.
"how do you know that?" some classmate of theirs asked, fanning themselves with one of their notebooks as a makeshift fan.
"i have a sixth sense .... i can feel it in my right boob" he answered with a straight face. Nearly 6 students turned around to look at him baffled and perturbed..
"He did not just say 'his left boob' ..."
"No he definitely said it ..." another said with their eyes closed.
"Wasn't it his right boob tho?" another student said, mouth stuffed with bread.
"Can we please stop talking about boobs!!" the only voice that was not monotone only because they got woken up.
"Why is it always Mingi man ...."
The person didn't know if they regretted asking or not but by the looks of it, seeing as their mouth couldn't close in disbelieve, they did in fact ... regret it.
The science students of HaByeol High were fairly quiet kids, they preferred to stick to their books or sleep when teachers weren't around. And it was quiet; until,
"NO!" dramatic Wooyoung starts again. He wiped non-existent tears while laying fetus position on the floor, cradling himself.
It was AP Biology class again. As you can see, it is most definitely his absolute favourite class. He wasn't anywhere near failing the class, it was just that he absolutely hated the way the teacher taught. He swears 'he's out for me with that nasally voice and broken stick of his'. So he must escape while he can. And escape he will.
"CHOI SAN!" he yells out the window, "AMICUS!"
"AD" someone shouts back, all the way from the opposite building. Quite impressive really if you consider their distance apart.
"ARAS!" they holler in union. They're on thin ice around the disciplinary teacher.
Soon after, the science students were greeted by a blue-haired boy with killer dimples. This art boy was Wooyoung's escape excuse. The blue-haired boy named San casually walked into his friends' classroom.
"San-ah!" and the blue-haired boy curved Wooyoung to keep walking further into the room. To a girl sitting alone with earphones in.
"Did you just ..."
"Hey. Hey. Wanna go to the snack bar with me? *wink*" and the blue-haired boy was met with no reply. So he'll try again.
"If you go with me .... I'll buy you chocolate milk. Wanna go?" very casually did San ask her out, pointing towards the door with the other hand tucked in his pants pocket.
"pshh ... why is he trying to act cool" scoffed Mingi, amused by what his art friend was trying to do.
"sdfgkl he even winked! eeww" laughed Wooyoung. His eyes went to his girl friend and his bestfriend. No, in fact, Wooyoung was straight up smirking. And only he knows why.
"I don't even like chocolate milk" she calmly replied, eyes closed as if she was sleep talking. That caused her friends around her to snicker remarks, looking at her in disbelieve.
"wah...you, my friend, are shamelessly lying" confronted Yeosang. He wasn't planning on interrupting his fools of friends, but this was too ear catching to pass by.
"couldn't she have thought of a better lie?" shook Mingi.
"and yet records would tell you, you were the one to finish the chocolate milk stocks!" yelled Wooyoung.
All those who go against her, she plainly ignored. If she can block her ears, she is innocent.
"If you go with me, I'll buy you all kinds of delicious snacks" offered San again, ignoring his background, still focusing on her alone.
"what are we ... 4?"
Finally, the girl sighed and took of her earphones slowly. Neatly she tucked them away and gave San the attention he was asking for. To everyone else, including San, it seemed like everyone and her friends are a bother to her. But not to Wooyoung, nope.
"If i go with you, strawberry milk, pockys and yogurt?" if San wasn't going to agree, sadly she was going to turn his offer down.
"Sure" wait what?
"Sure, anything you want" San winks again. He was too composed, charming indeed. His deep voice was like silk.
She wasn't stupid. No one turns down free food. Not she.
"Me too me too!" jumped Wooyoung in between his 2 friends.
"You pay yourself"
And that was the first time San got to talk to her. The only girl friend he ever saw his bestfriends hung around with, especially in school. He liked teasing her. In some ways, she was the a lot like Yeosang. Quiet yet does not shy away from savage remarks.
What San didn't see though, was her lightly blushed cheeks when she looked down to 'see her steps', cleverly using her long hair as frame to gain composure in milliseconds. And on San's other side, was a surprisingly behaved normally loud boy, smirking to himself, thinking to himself. But you know what?

The house was rather quiet, only the sounds of the crackling fire could be heard for those in the living room. The room was somber, only a single orange tinted kitchen light was switched on, illuminating different silhouettes present in the house.
There was one girl sitting at the window nook, dressed in her favourite ugly Christmas sweater. With a blanket draped around her neck and hot chocolate, she dazed out the window. She can see some people walking and hanging around the park just below her.
It was December, it was snowing and most importantly, it was Christmas. She didn't exactly celebrate the occasion, but she appreciated the local events or plays around her neighbourhood. It was fun. It was no doubt tiring come the end of the day, but a day well spent regardless. She too wanted to be outside with her friends and participate in playtime since they had things planned out since early November.
But she couldn't go out, she could barely walk. She fell pretty hard the other day and had sprained her ankle pretty badly, resulting in her doctor telling her to rest for a few weeks without doing vigorous activities. It was one of her worst days.
Things were not going her way no matter how hard she tried to keep everything in check. Her efforts could not match up to what the world wanted to give her. She and her batchmates were drowned with assignments that needed to be submitted in a short time span. For how much work they had, time was not on their side. It was harder for her because she wasn't in her right mind.
One of her professors had yelled at her, saying how she was not producing work that matched the assignment guide and how foolish she was being; even though she had confirmed with him on what she planned to do prior to even starting the work and had gotten permission.
"You're the only student of mine doing it differently! It's too different! I can't be able to grade this, why did you think you were special?" he pointed at her.
"But Professor, I - I did discus -"
"Ah! How dare you talk back to me. Either you find a way to make this look like everyone else's or you make an entirely new product or you can fail. Now go! I don't want to see you anymore! Next!" and with that, she left his office with her head hung low.
She hugged her items closer to her body and before she knew it, her tears had fallen onto her soft cover books. She tried her best to hold it in, at least until she got home but her feelings were really on the edge. She was only human. She too can feel overwhelmed, it wasn't her fault.
Her tears clouded her vision and made her lightheaded thus she accidentally tripped on a giant tree root that emerged from the soil and fell to the tar ground. Her knees were only lightly scraped, nothing horrible but it was her ankles that paid the price. She was in agonizing pain and couldn't help herself up. Thankfully, the kind bystanders offered aid and one helped bring her to the nearest clinic. She felt touched by their kindness and assured her that someone will come for her soon.
"Alright, all done Miss. Now I want you to go home and take a few weeks off to rest. If you have anyone that can help you do things, I suggest having them around. You can try walking after the 2nd week, but nothing too hard on yourself, ok? I'll also prescribe these pain killers so be sure to take them on time. The nurse will see you out" advised the doctor.
She thanked the doctor and the nurse who helped her be seated as she waited for her medicines and check. She looked around and there was barely anyone, 'I guess everyone has gone back for the holidays'. Not a moment later until a taller boy with slit eyebrows walked through the clinic door and let out the heaviest sigh when his eyes laid on her.
"Thank god .... I'm not late am I?" he asked, to which she shook her head in silence. Once he got everything she needed, they headed home.
Now copped up at home with a cast on, she couldn't really do anything. Actually, she didn't want to do anything, even if she had to. She was tired and in some twisted way, this was probably her chance to rest. Definitely not mentally, but at least physically.
"You must've been really off lately haven't you?" Hongjoong asked. He sounded a little wary of asking such questions, afraid it might trigger her more. At his question, she looked his way, tilting her head.
"What makes you say that Joongie?" her best friend didn't really have to say much. All he had to do was point out towards her kitchen. Sat in the sink were stacks of unwashed dishes and pots and pans.
"Aah...welp, I ... I just didn't have time" she replied to him, but even she was questioning herself.
"I've known you for years. Even if you were really busy, you'd sacrifice your rest time to clean up" she really couldn't lie to him. Once again the room fell silent as he helped her clean up the kitchen.
"Mind telling me what's going on?" he gently probed.
Maybe he was being selfish for wanting to know but she didn't seem to mind as much when it was him asking as compared to when her other friends tried to know her story. She brought her gaze back down onto the people hanging out at the park. She didn't know why she started speaking, but it felt nice to share her feelings to someone she trusts, that person being Hongjoong.
"I'm a single woman now" she started off.
"huh? what does that mean?" he wondered what she meant.
"Yunho and I broke up a little while ago" her voice sounded really sad. Hearing her like that made Hongjoong sad too, he was sad for her. Like the gentleman that he is, he let her continue whenever she wanted.
"We had been drifting apart for a while. It wasn't good, there was no longer our own spark. It hurts even more because I tried really hard to bring us back to how we were. I did everything I could, I promised us I wouldn't give up"
every word that she was saying were like knives in her heart and he felt her pain. Hongjoong had stopped washing the dishes and carefully turned off the pipe.
"but nothing worked. In the end I had to come to terms that Yunho and I had fallen out of love. Maybe I did first but I refused myself of the truth and deluded myself into thinking everything was going to be ok"
"You didn't have to be alone then. Why didn't you come to me? You know you can always come to me" she turned to his back and gave him a sad smile.
"I know Joongie, I know. But I just had to be alone. It was getting a lot. I was introduced to Yunho's new girl friend and the moment I saw them together, I know my relationship with him was truly over"
"what makes you say that? maybe you saw wrong?" if anyone else was saying this to her, she probably would have stopped talking. With Hongjoong, it felt right to say anything.
"I saw the way he looked at her Joongie. He likes her,"
"hmm"
"like he once liked me" she voice refused to break, "her/n..."
She was stronger than that. She told herself she was over it, so she was going to walk the talk.
"He looks at her so much more than how he looked at me, even if I compared it to our honeymoon phase. Then I thought we'd last forever, but guess I was wrong. With a heavy heart, Yunho and I met up for the last time and he told me he wanted a break up and I agreed"
"Have you seen him since?" he asked, "nope" she answered with popped.
"How do you feel now?"
She confided in her best friend Hongjoong as he patiently listened to her out to her heart's content. Whatever she had to say, he listened attentively. He was a master of disguise though. For all the 8 years they had been best friends, not once did she catch on to his feelings for her.
The selfish part of him told him to strike at the opportunity now that she was single but he held back. He knew he was better than that. He will continue to hide his true feelings until the timing was right because the last thing he wanted was to overwhelm her more than already is.
That was how they spent the rest of the day as she soon fell asleep. Quietly, Hongjoong made sure everything was in place and he left her apartment quietly.
Letting her be alone and spend the merry holiday that is known as Christmas was never going to happen on his watch, not if he could help it. So now Hongjoong was all dressed up that even made even the Christmas elves jealous, only to stay up at her apartment and entertain whatever she wanted!
[8:30pm - *selfie sent* hey look! I’m wearing the sweater you got for me 3 years ago!] - Joongie
[8:32pm - nothing you say will make me believe otherwise that you did not lose it]
[8:32pm - i have absolutely no idea what you’re playing at … I am innocent] - Joongie
[8:33pm - sure you don’t … i hope you know i’m not buying your pathetic excuses]
[8:35 pm - your honour, i am guilty free] - Joongie
[8:36pm - i hope santa forgets your presents …]
[8:37pm - …. How … how could you say that!! I’m not speaking to you anymore!] - Joongie
[8:37pm - actually no …. I hope the elves accidentally loses it]
[8:37pm - you are a menace to society … how dare you] - Joongie
She had sent another text, but Hongjoong hadn’t responded to it. She wondered if her jokes were too far, but he would understand … right? No, she would’ve needed to do more to hurt him. They often had bickers here and there. Sometimes their mutual friends found it annoying but that’s how they were and that’s what made them happy. Without a reply, she went back to whatever she was doing before. Not 10 minutes later, someone rang the doorbell.
“Just a minute!” she yelled back. Carefully she made her way towards her door with her crutches.
“TADAA!!”
“Joongie?! What on Peter Pan's ship are you doing here??”
“It’s nice to see you too. Don’t you like seeing me here? I dressed up all for us, see!”
“Joongie … of course I like having you here but what about your family? You should be with them right now, no?”
“Don’t worry. I called them the day you had that ankle incident and immediately decided that I was going to spend Christmas with you this year. Mom and dad are more than ok with it. They sent you their regards by the way!”
“Unbelievable …” she sighed, closing the door behind her.
“I know right? I’m just the best, honestly. Who else is doing it like me …” and there he goes. Back to his silly self as he flips his non-existent long hair.
“You bought us food too?”
“I got you your favourite! Listen, it was the last of the order. Santa was on my side, you have no idea how hard I had to fight for this” he dangled the food in front of her. As soon as the aroma of the food hit her, she was drooling in anticipation. Her pupils instantly dilated when she looked at him setting the table.
They ate dinner in anything but silence, thankfully a food war didn’t break out. They were debating with so much passion on which movie was the best Christmas movie. Hongjoong nearly broke down at his best friend’s choice of top pick.
“BARBIE AND THE MAGIC OF PEGASUS?!?? WHAT KIND OF MISSED SPELL COATED SUGAR CANDY CANE ARE YOU ON LADY?? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?”
“YOU CAN’T CHANGE MY MIND!! I CAN’T HEAR YOU AAAAHHH”
“HOW IS THAT EVEN A CHRISTMAS MOVIE?? JUST BECAUSE IT HAS SNOW??”
“BARBIE AND THE MAGIC OF PEGASUS IS THE MOST CHAOTICALLY UNHINGED MASTERPIECE OF ALL BARBIE MOVIES. IT’S AN ICONIC QUEEN”
“BUT IT’S NOT EVEN A CHRISTMAS MOVIE THO … ??”
In the end neither of them won because neither of them wanted to admit defeat. A pair of 2 stubborn mules.
“You’re so lucky no one can replace you in my life” Hongjoong thinks he needs to bleach his ears after that hot debate over dinner.
“You’re so dramatic omg … am I your only friend now Joongie?”
“Correctly, your cute little butt self is my only true best friend and it’s going to stay that way!” and he was not having it any other way.
As much as she wanted to be one cleaning up after dinner with him, Hongjoong just would not allow her to move about for more than 5 minutes. He knew she was healing and didn’t want to risk another injury while she was still recovering. Besides, it was him who brought the food over anyway.
“But you already bought the food! Cleaning up is the least I can do. Besides, it’s my house anyway!”
She tried to protest but it seems like an elf cast a ‘not-listening’ spell on him since he was pretending to not hear her. There wasn’t much she could do if Hongjoong was set on not having her move but accepting defeat and silently watched him calmly wiping the table and doing the finishing touch ups.
“Movie time?” she asked him in a quiet voice.
“No movies for you, hmph!” he faked being upset, putting a dramatic act on.
“Huh? Why not?” she was confused, what was going on? Why wouldn’t Hongjoong want to watch Christmas movies with her? It was their yearly tradition!
“You cursed that Santa would forget my presents this year” Hongjoong really was playing on that kiddy act and immediately she let out the heaviest sigh of relief. It was just another joke, but she was on edge.
“Joongie! Don’t do that! You nearly scared me. Gosh you’re so petty … shut up and come put on our movies!”
He immediately obliged, “yes ma’am! Christmas movies come right up!”
The two best friends watched the first movie just fine. Sometimes they would even act out the iconic lines. Hongjoong really brought out the best giggles of hers and she never failed to make him smile. Her little shenanigans and her habits of making faces and playfully mocking the characters were one of the most adorable things she ever did in his opinion. Every single time, he felt the urge to just kiss her nose, admiring how amazing she was.
By the 2nd movie however, his best friend grew quiet again. Her eyes were on the tv screen so it would seem like she was just paying attention to the movie, but Hongjoong knew that wasn’t the case. Sure her eyes were on the screen, but her focus was on anything but. He was correct.
“You ok?” he asked her, moving closer to her.
“I’m just … thinking” her answer was short and very vague.
“Are you … are you thinking about that again?”
Her face fell instantly and her gaze stuck to the floor.
“I’m sorry Joongie … I shouldn’t even be thinking of it. I told myself I was over it and I should be!”
“It’s ok, it’s alright” his voice was so gentle when it came to her and only her.
“I just … Joongie, why do I feel like it was my fault? I feel like it’s my fault for giving in, for not persisting” by now Hongjoong had paused the movie, letting her speak in comfortable silence.
“Hey! Don’t be saying that, you know it’s not your fault, i know it’s not your fault!”
“I just do things wrong, don’t I?” she was finicking with her fingers as she spoke her mind.
“Ok no! You tried your best and I’m proud of you. You should be proud of yourself too! Some people don’t even have half the decency you both had for each other, but not you guys. Not you."
“I couldn’t even do my assignment right…” her voice was so quiet. She sounded so fragile it hurt him so much to see her go through it again.
“Your professor was a dick! He clearly knew he was in the wrong but his ego and stupid pride wouldn’t let you win because god forbid a student be right over him. Actually, no! I’m going to report him, it’s not like it’s the first time things like that happened when it was him.”
“Joongie, no … you’ll have him fired. He was probably just really stressed that day.”
“Stressed my butt. Seriously, please stop thinking like this, hmm?”
“I’m sorry Joongie, I just ruined our movie night haven’t I?”
He shook his head so fast and hard one would think Thanos was going to snap him. Once she calmed down again, they resumed watching the movies on queue. However, it was Hongjoong’s turn battling the angel and demon mini him that sat on his right and left shoulders. Should he confess to her right there and then? He wanted to make a move on her but he was afraid it would be horrible timing. Before he could stop himself, he spoke,
“Hey, can I tell you something?”
“Sure, what is it?” and yet he still hesitated, “Kim Hongjoong, say it. What is it?”
She saw him gulp a few times and wondered what had gotten him so nervous. What had he planned to tell her that made him unsure of himself. Her best friend was a man of confidence, sometimes shy but rarely nervous.
“You good Joongie? Do you need some water first?” she was getting ready to get up before he stopped her.
“I like you!” … ‘Come what again?’ she thought.
Her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets at the sudden confession from her best friend.
“Kim Hongjoong, are you hearing yourself right now?” she was in disbelief. There was no way, absolutely no way! She thinks he’s lying, he’s her best friend of 8 years of course she would know when he’s lying … wouldn’t she? Well, she’s wrong.
“I said, I like you. I’ve liked you since years ago but I never told you because I wasn’t ready. I know I’m being really stupid and selfish right now, for suddenly confessing when you’re clearly not in the right place. Then when I felt ready to tell you everything, you found Yunho and began your relationship with him. Interrupting your relationship with him could be one of the most disrespectful things I could’ve done. You don’t deserve that. I’ve been really fighting myself over this and I … god why did I confess -” he was blabbing on now.
“Joongie … slow down. Joongie..” she spoke but it fell on deaf ears. Hongjoong was in his own world, trying to explain his way out of this.
“Joongie!! Hey! Hey slow down, it’s ok. You’re ok” finally she managed to have him shut up and focus back on her.
“You’re not selfish Joongie. Thank you for holding back as long as you did."
“You’re welcome” he choked out. ‘God I sound so stupid why did I say you’re welcome’ he mentally slapped himself. But hey, that got her to giggle, so he wins.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Much better now that I’ve let it all out .. ha ha ha .. ha..”
“Wanna continue our movie night or are you ready to go to sleep?” She looked at the clock, suggesting sleep might be what they both needed. It had been a long day for both of them.
“No it’s ok, we can continue watching the movies” and so that’s what they did.
As the movie was nearing its end, another thought struck his thoughts.
“Hey”
“Yes Joongie?”
“Can I … can I kiss you?”
That made her sit up properly.
“Joongie ..” her voice faltered, “trust me when I say I’m so glad you confessed your feelings for me, I’m so happy right now. But I don’t think I’m ready for a kiss” she really made sure she worded things nicely. The last thing she wanted to do was hurt his feelings. He figured as much, so he wasn’t too bothered by the rejection. He was just glad she was able to speak her mind truthfully.
“It’s ok. Thank you for being honest with me”
“Thank you for asking me first Joongie”
Maybe he failed, maybe he didn’t fail. Yet in that very moment, with the sounds of the fire cracking and the warmth the blankets provided them, he believed he neither won and most importantly he did not lose either. He was right in between and he was ok with that. If it meant that things would go at the pace she was comfortable, then it was perfect for him.
If she was comfortable, no doubt he felt the same. If she felt sad, he was sad. If she felt happy, he was happy too. If she felt content with how things were laying out for them, he was content to follow along. If he was able to wait years for her, what’s a little more? He loved her and respecting her was his top priority.
And for whatever he has done for her, she was thankful. She hoped Hongjoong would last in her life as her forever.
