Choi Jongho Part 4

Jongho x You

Seonghwa hesistated but didn’t turn back. The next day you had a plan, were you brave enough though? Jongho had gone to the slopes early, he needed the freedom to try and clear the thoughts from yesterday. There were too many emotions for him to deal with and he needed the escape, if only for a short while. He was so focused on his movements that he didn’t notice the figure trying to run up the slope and directly into the path of his snowboard. When he did it was almost too late, he veered to the side at the last minute trying to slow down and made a grab for the person in front of him. He didn’t want them to get hurt and it would be safer landing on him than getting run over by the snowboard. You felt yourself being held by Jongho as you both went down, this was the only way you could think of to get his attention. “Are you crazy?! You could have gotten hurt!” Jongh exclaimed. He didn’t know it was you. You pulled you scarf down and took off your goggles. His eyes widened in surprise.

“Yes i’m crazy! I’m crazy about you!” You exclaimed almost in tears. “I’m sorry i ran away and i’m sorry i didn’t let you explain yesterday,” you sobbed out. Jongho looked up at you stunned by what you were saying. You were still on top of Jongho and he was still holding you, you pulled yourself closer to him and buried your head in his chest. “Princess while I appreciate the confession, do you think maybe we could get up? People are going to be wondering what’s going on.” You felt your cheeks heat up and scrambled to get off him. Before standing up Jongho unclipped the snowboard so he could have more balance. You turned back to him but as you did so your foot slipped and you started to fall. Jongho reached out to catch you, “my hero,” you said. As he held you he reached down, “always for you princess,” he said as his lips found yours in a kiss. 

It had taken some getting used to being in a relationship with Jongho. He had limited free time which he spent with you making the most of it by taking you to new cafes, picnics, and book stores that he knew you would enjoy. Your favourite was when he would take you on long drives, especially at night. Just the 2 of you enjoying some music, sometimes he’d hold your hand while driving and it warmed your heart when he did so. When he had schedules it was so different.  

It could be days or weeks before you would see him, making do with watching him on tv. He would FaceTime when he could just before bed, but he was so tired it wasn’t long before he started to get sleepy. This carried on for a year, you had almost settled into a routine but you were finding it difficult to continue. Would you be able to carry on with the relationship? When Jongho was free it was amazing, he was caring and attentive and was interested in your work and hobbies.  

Other times you couldnt but help to think what he was doing, who he was with. It had been a few weeks since you had last seen each other and you had wondered if he was starting to pull away from you. The thought had crossed your mind a few times and if sensing your thoughts Jongho sent a message. ‘Meet me at this new cafe at 4pm on Saturday’ nothing else. Interesting, he’d never text like that before. At least he wanted to see you, it made you smile because despite your doubts you missed him. 

Saturday arrived and you headed to the cafe. You didn’t see Jongho so you just went to a table and waited. You were checking your phone when you heard your name being called. You looked up, it wasn’t Jongho but a friend you hadn’t seen in a long time. You smiled at him as he came over to your table. “It’s been so long, how are you?” He said as he leaned in for a hug. Still smiling you hugged him back, “oh it has, how have you been?” You asked. He started to reply when someone cut him off. 

“Have you found my replacement already princess?” There was a hint of amusement and something else mixed into the question. You looked behind you and there was Jongho. You laughed and leaned back to him, “don’t be silly, this is just a friend who I haven’t seen in a while.” “Hi, nice to meet you.” Jongho said, your friend nodded in response. “I’m heading back to Busan today but I saw you and had to say hi.” You smiled at him and said it was nice to have seen him again.  

As your friend left Jongho turned to you. Stepping closer he pulled you into a tight hug, “I’ve missed this princess,” he said. You leaned into the hug relishing the feeling of his arms around you. Up until this point you also hadn’t realised how much you’d missed his hugs and comforting embraces. “I’ve missed you too Jongho,” you said. He pulled back and looked at you as if deciding what to say next. “I won’t lie I did think we wouldn’t be able to maintain the relationship,” you said. He looked startled but then he nodded, “I know my work and lifestyle are difficult to adjust too but I really don’t want to lose you,” his voice was earnest and you had no reason to disbelieve him. “The reason I asked to meet you today was because I wanted to ask you an important question,” he said as he released you from his arms and started to sit down at the table. He took your hand, your heart started to thud inside your chest. “I want to show you I’m committed,” he said.  

You stared at him almost worried about what was going to happen next. “I want you to move in with me, I’m going to get a place of my own and I want you there with me.” You were shocked at his confession and at first you were speechless. “Ok well that isn’t the response I was expecting princess” he said with a nervous laugh. You stared back at him, your eyes starting to fill with tears. “I thought you were pulling away from me, I was expecting the worst when you asked to meet,” you said 

Jongho shook his head, “no,no that’s definitely not happening. I lost you once and I’m not going to lose you again. Princess I love you and I’m not prepared to let you go.” You sucked in a breath, this was the first time he’d openly said he loved you. “I love you too Jongho, and yes I will move in with you.” A big smile spread across his face as stood up and came around to your side of the table. He pulled you up and kissed you, full of feeling and passion. “Lets go home “ he said.

Choi Jongho Part 3

Jongho x You

After that weekend at the ski resort you’d decided to throw yourself into your work to try and distract you from Jongho and what you’d overheard on that last day. You really thought that the connection with him had been there and you could have had a future together, but you’d been proven wrong. Your doubts were further added to when a couple of weeks after that wekend your friend had asked if Jongho had called you. You’d looked at them in surprise and said no he hadn’t. Your friend had looked disappointed and told you that they’d secretly passed your number to him in the hopes that he would be in contact. It had taken some time but you had managed to put Jongho behind you and move on, in the 2 years since that weekend you’d avoided any romantic relationship and built a wall around your heart. Your friends, although still worried at how you’d distanced yourself from your feelings, suggested that there would be no better way to prove that you were fine than to go back to the ski resort for another getaway. You had faltered for a moment, what if Jongho was there again? No, you wouldn’t think about him, he didn’t deserve anymore of your feelings. You had eventually agreed, much to the delight of your friends. The travel up to the ski resort was again a comfortable one, plenty of time to have a nap and be refreshed for when you all arrived. Your friends were excited at spending another weekend at the chalet and were already discussing what they were going to eat later, just as you awoke from your nap. “Bbq, what else?” You asked as if it were the obvious answer. You checked in and went up to your room to change into ski wear. You weren’t planning on doing any skiing but would stand at the slopes and watch the other skiers and snowboarders. It was a lot more comfortable on the cable car without skis on and you appreciated the view until somone caught your eye.

Dressed all in black he was a stark contrast to the white snow. His movements fluid yet controlled, the snowboard an extension of his body. You knew who it was even before he took his scarf and goggles off. Jongho. You turned to your friend, “when the cable car gets to the top I can’t stay, I need to get back down.” Your friend looked at you confused but agreed, “do you want me to come back with you?” They asked but you shook your head to say no. Your heart was hammering, you didn’t want to see him but you couldn’t take your eyes off him. Something about him had changed, he was the same yet he wasn’t. As you got off the cable car you turned to wait for the cars to go back down. As you did so, you heard a voice behind you. “It’s been a while Princess.” You closed your eyes briefly before turning round. “It has,” your answer was short and crisp. You did not want to engage in any conversation with him and were eager to get off the slopes. You started to move away in an effort to get on the cable cars quicker, your friend beside you. They turned to Jongho and said, “maybe this isn’t the best time.” He looked at your friend and then nodded. “I’m sure i’ll see you again soon.” It sounded like a promise and made you shiver at the thought. Your body bettayed you with it’s reaction to Jongho, clearly your feelings were being overruled by your heart. “I thought i was over him, but seeing him again has released all the emotions that i’d been holding back,” you said to your friend. “I don’t know what to do,” you almost cried. “Just speak to him and clear the air, you never had closure and this is your chance to find out what he meant and if what you overheard was correct or a misunderstanding,” your friend said. You looked at them, could it have been a mistake? No, you knew what you’d heard. Jongho couldn’t believe that you were here, after so long you were so close. As he watched you leave Seonghwa came up to him, “did you speak to her?” Jongho shook his head, “only briefly but she doesn’t want to speak to me.” Seonghwa looked at him, “then try and get her to speak to you so you can make her understand what happened 2 years ago. Her friends must have told her that you had her number and she would have been heartbroken when you didn’t call her.” “I know hyung, but what if she doesn’t believe me? Maybe it’s for the best that we never had the chance to find out what we could have been.” Seonghwa just shook his head, this wasn’t the same Jongho from before, he’d lost some of the softness and the light in his eyes had dimmed a little. He’d do whatever he could to bring back some of the softness to Jongho. “Lets go eat, you had a good run on the slopes. My treat today,” Seonghwa said to Jongho.

The restaurant was busy as always but they got a table and were served prettt quickly. “Thank you for the meal hyung, I’m just going outside for a little fresh air and then I’ll head up to the room.” Seonghwa smiled knowingly but just nodded in response. You and your friends had also eaten and were debating whether to stay up or to head in for an early night so they could have a full day of activites tomorrow. “I’m going to go outside for a few minutes then head up ok,” you said. They all nodded and said they’d see you shortly. The air was cool as you stepped outside, it was refreshing after being inside the warm chalet. You didn’t see him at first, dressed all in black he almost blended in with the shadows, but there was no denying who it was. He stepped towards you but you moved to walk past him. A hand grabbed your arm and pulled you back until you collided with his solid chest. You were facing away from him but your back was flush against his chest, the perfect fit as if you belonged there. He leant down so that his breath brushed against your ear, “now, there’s no need to be rude is there princess,” he said. “Let me go,” you said, all to aware of how your body was reacting to his nearness. His lips brushed against your neck sending a shiver down your spine, as he said, “let me explain what happened that day.” “There’s nothing to explain. It was nothing but a meaningless weekend fling,” you threw at him, unaware of how hurtful your words to him. He unexpectedly let you go, “in that case, lets forget what happened.” You turned around but he was already walking away from you. “Do you know that he spent months and months looking for you,” at that you turned around to see Seonghwa stood there. “Every free minute he had he went to book stores and libraries to see if you were there. All because he knew they were the places you liked and he wanted to clear any misunderstanding between you.” “He could have called me, i would have eventually listened to him,” you said in response. Seonghwa laughed, a sad sound, “he would have if he hadn’t lost your number. It was written on a napkin that was accidentally thrown away.” You just stared at Seonghwa, still unbelieving. “Jongho doesn’t do causal flings, when he loves he does from the heart. I’d never seen him react to anyone the way he did to you, but when you went away you took some of his light with you. He wanted to have a proper relationship with you and that’s what we were discussing when you overheard us. You didn’t give him the chance to explain and you broke his heart.” Tears welled up as you heard Seonghwa’s truth. Was this heartache really all your fault? “I’ll make this right, i still have feelings for him,” you said to Seonghwa. He just stared at you as if assessing the truth of your words. He nodded and turned to leave. “I promise i wont hurt him again,” you said.

Choi Jongho Part 2

Jongho x You

After the near death ordeal your friends decided to treat you to some bbq beef to cheer you up. The chalet’s restaurant was set up with a bar at the back and half as a set dining restaurant and the other half as a bbq restaurant. You’d changed into more comfortable clothes, jeans and a big oversized roll neck sweater with ugg boots. You felt like yourself again and found that you were famished. You couldn’t wait for grilled beef.  

Seonghwa had also insisted that they have bbq for the evening meal. Jongho wasn’t about to turn down beef and readily agreed. As they entered the restaurant Seonghwa had a quick glance around and smiled. “Jongho let’s go sit over at that grill,” he gestured to a table not far from the bar area and which had a good view of the rest of tables and entrance. Jongho nodded in agreement and they sat down. 

Your friends were busy debating which meat to order and how much to order, “just order some rice and noodles to go with the meat and I’ll be back in a few minutes. I’m going to get some cola, anyone else want a drink?” You said to them, only one responded with a request for lemonade. You nodded and stood up. At the same time, Seonghwa turned to Jongho and said “while I look at the menu and order please can you get some drinks in?” Jongho looked at him and nodded. 

Seonghwa asked for a cola and to get a beer to share, he was not very good at holding his drinks so wanted to take it easy today. Jongho got up to head towards the bar. Seonghwa pleased with himself turned to look just as you made your way to the bar, Jongho not too far behind you. Holding your drinks you turned around to head back to your table and almost collided with the person behind you. The drinks spilled over your hands slightly as you stopped short. “I’m so sorry,” you started to say. 

As you looked up you stopped short. Dark intense eyes stared down at you, he was so handsome that you lost the ability to speak for a moment. “I, ah, erm, did I spill any on you?” You managed to stammer out. You groaned inwardly why did you sound like that?! He just looked at you, smiling slightly, “luckily I’m cola free,” he joked back. You felt your face heat up, why was this happening to you now?  

“I’m sorry again,” you apologised and started to move away. As you did so you heard a voice call out, “Jongho!” At the name you turned around only to find out that the handsome stranger you’d bumped into was responding. Jongho? That was Jongho? Your hero from earlier on? Oh no, now he must think you were a walking disaster. Embarassment swept over you as you hurried away back to your table. Your friends were too busy with the food that they didn’t notice how quiet you were at first. 

“Why aren’t you eating?” “I am, let’s eat!” You said in an overly energetic voice and smiled back at your group. Food and conversation soon took over and dulled the embarassment from earlier. Jongho couldnt believe that he’d literally bumped into you again, he had wondered if he would see you after the accident on the slope. It took him a moment to realise that you didn’t know who he was since he’d had his whole face covered before.  

“Find anything interesting at the bar?” Seonghwa asked as Jongho set down the drinks. “Hyung..” Jongho said as if exasperated. “Is it normal for someon to be so clumsy?” He asked. Seonghwa who had been watching the interaction between you and Jongho just laughed. “Gives you more opportunity to play hero.” Jongh just shook his head, “let’s eat hyung,” he said. 

“Oh I’m so full,” you said as you sat back. Your friends all agreed. “What have you got planned now?” You asked, they replied with not much and might just hang out at the bar for a bit before heading back to their respective rooms. You said that you might just go outside for a short walk to try and walk off a little bit of the food. You had overindulged a little on grilled beef. 

As you stepped outside the cool air felt nice against your too warm cheeks, and helped to wake you up from the food coma you were slipping into. Just a few minutes outside and then you’ll head back in you said to yourself. You stepped out onto the path that had been cleared and had only walked a few steps when your foot slipped from under you. You felt yourself falling until strong arms seemed to come out of nowhere and steadied you. “Careful princess, you don’t want to hurt yourself.” 

Strong arms held you upright stopping from falling. You looked up and there he was. His hair falling over his forehead as he looked down at you, a smile on his face. “Careful princess, you won’t be able to ski if you hurt yourself now.” Your face heated again, how was this happening? He’d stopped you from falling again, how did he keep coming to her rescue? “Thank you, and I’m sorry again.” You said as you stood up. He didn’t let go immediately his hands warm on your arms, his grip firm.  

“Looks like I’ll have to stick close to you as your knight in shining armour or however the saying goes,” Jongho joked. You just laughed trying to hide your embarassment. “Will you be going up to the slopes tomorrow?” he asked. “Oh yes, I’m going to give it another try.” You replied. He stared at you for a moment before nodding and saying, “I’ll see you up there tomorrow then.” He let go of you and instantly you felt the lack of warmth from him. “Goodnight,” he said. “Night” you replied.  

Despite the cold your face was flushed, and you had a happy feeling rush through your body. Would you be able to see him tomorrow? You managed to get a good nights sleep and were ready to try again on the slopes. After being kitted out and making it to the slope with your friends you decided it was too risky and were about to make your excuses when you saw a figure all in black approach your group. He pulled his goggles up and lowered his scarf, it was him. Jongho.  

“Ready to go?” Jongho asked. “Well actually..”you started to say, “yes!” One of you your friends interrupted. You glared at them, you didn’t want to make a fool of yourself in front of him again. “That’s good, shall we head off together?” Jongho was pulling his goggles back into place and readjusting his scarf so didn’t notice your hesitance. He turned to you and held out his hand, “I’ll guide you slowly.” How could you refuse him?  

Your friends were silent as they watched you with Jongho, never before had they seen you so quiet. You took his hand and started to walk a bit further up. He helped you with your skis and then clipped on his snow board. “How..” you started to ask but were interrupted by his friend. “Don’t worry about that, Jongho is a pro,” Seonghwa said with a smirk. You didn’t quite know what to think of that answer but nevertheless decided to trust Jongho. 

Jongho helped you set off and kept pace next to you on his snowboard. Now that you weren’t fearing for your life and were able to control your speed you found that you quite enjoyed it. You turned to the side to look at Jongho with a smile on your face. As you did so Jongho found his heart skip a beat. You were beautiful with open joy on your face as you experienced skiing properly for the first time.  

It felt like only a short while that you were out with Jongho when he said it was time to call it a day. “You won’t realise it now but you’ll be sore tomorrow if you over do it. You might want to head back and relax a little bit,” Jongho suggested. You nodded at him, “thank you so much for today.” “Anytime princess,” he replied. Your friends crowded round you as you went back to the chalet, all talking at once wanting to know what was going on.  

“Nothing, he’s just being nice.” “There’s being nice and then there’s spending nearly all day with you alone on the slopes, princess.” They stressed the last word making you blush with embarassment. It’s not like that you protested, was it? “You seem awfully keen to give skiing lessons to her,” Seonghwa said to Jongho with a knowing look. “Ah hyung it’s not like that,” Jongho replied. “Of course it’s not, you just happen to be that generous.” Jongho shot Seonghwa a murderous look. 

Seonghwa laughed in response, Jongho never could hide his feelings well. “Let’s go relax at the sauna and then have something to eat,” Seonghwa suggested. Jongho nodded, wondering if he’d see you again.  

Jongho had been right, as soon as you got back to the chalet you felt a soreness start to spread in your legs. “Let’s go sit in the sauna for a bit please,” you asked your friends. “Oh yes, that sounds like heaven,” your bestie said. You weren’t a fan of really hot temperatures but you were looking forward to a few minutes of relaxation. You grabbed your comfiest clothes to change into.  

The sauna has been so hot but you felt so much better and your muscles felt relaxed. As you came into the main area just outside the changing rooms you stopped short. There he was, it looked like he’d just come out of the changing rooms as well. His hair was slightly damp and had a slight wave to it, making him look even more handsome. Your friend was talking to you but when she noticed you weren’t responding she shook your arm a little bit. “Are you ok..” she started to say but then stopped.  

A knowing smile spread over her face as she saw who had your full attention. “Jongho!” Your friend shouted, he looked towards you and smiled. He started to walk over to you, you turned to your friend, “what are you doing?” You asked incredulously, you looked awful and didn’t want him to see you like this. “I’m doing what you won’t do,” she replied. “Hi guys, you heading over to eat?” Jongho asked. “Yep we are, would you like to join us?” Your friend was going to die tonight that was guaranteed.  

You were giving your friend the death stare, how could she do this to you? “That would be nice, I just need to get Seonghwa and then we’ll meet you in the restaurant in about 10 minutes?” Jongho said, you nodded and said you’ll be at the bbq section. As he left you turned to your friend, “how could you do that?” “What?” She replied all innocent. You shook your head, your friends wanted to see you in a settled relationship so you couldn’t blame them for their efforts. “Let’s get the others.”  

The restaurant was busy but because you were a fairly large group you managed to get a table quickly. As you sat down your friend looked up and waved, Jongho and Seonghwa had just entered and were coming over. How did Jongho look even better than he had a few minutes ago? As he sat down you realised that your friends had orchestrated it so you ended up sitting next to him. He smiled at you as he sat down, “how are you feeling princess?” He asked, “ah good thanks” you stammered. 

“So guys what are we eating?” Seonghwa asked, as he did so everyone started talking at once. Food was eventually ordered and grilling started, it was evident that Seonghwa was the cook and he took charge. Everyone was talking but you were so conscious of Jongho next to you that you couldn’t pay attention to the conversation. “Here you go princess, try this,” Jongho said as he put some meat on to your plate. You blushed at his gesture and nodded your thanks. He just smiled in response.  

As you went up to the bar to get some drinks one of your friends sat next to Jongho. “Here you go,” they said to him. Jongho looked at what they were holding out, it looked like a folded napkin. “What’s this?” He asked. Your friend leaned in and said that it was your phone number. Jongho looked a little shocked, “does she know you’re giving me this?” He asked. “Nope, but sometimes romance needs a helping hand,” your friend said with a wink. Jongho placed the napkin in his pocket. 

After the meal you said you wanted to go outside for a little walk again and to your surprise Jongho said he’d accompany you. “Can’t have you falling now can we princess,” he joked. He walked beside you in comfortable silence for a little while until you stopped and turned to him. “Thank you” you said, “for saving me on the first day and for today as well.” “My pleasure princess,” he responded. He stepped a bit closer to you. “I’ve been thinking of something since the first day i saw you.”  

“What?” You asked, almost a whisper. “What you would taste like,” he said just as he bent his head and touched his lips to yours. It was gentle and when you didn’t move away he reached up his hands cupped your face, deepening the kiss. Heat spread through you and your heart was beating fast. It felt like it lasted for so long but at the same time it was over too soon. “Mmm, that’s what you taste like,” he said. “What’s that?” You asked. “Mine” he said, eyes darker than they had been before.  

You felt a shiver down your spine. “Are you cold? Let’s head back inside” Jongho said. As you entered the chalet you turned to him and said “we’re heading back to Seoul tomorrow.” He nodded, “can I see you beforeyou go?” You nodded and told him you’d meet him in the main lobby around 11am, just after the checkout time. He lent forward and kissed your cheek, “goodnight,” he said. You smiled back at him and went up to your room.  

The next morning Jongho and Seonghwa were in the chalets main lobby waiting for you, it was busy and noisy with people coming and going. “Hyungs really like her. I don’t want this weekend to mean nothing and for me it’s not just a weekend fling.” Seonghwa nodded and looked up, he saw you stood there. You’d been there a few minutes and even though you hadn’t been close enough to hear everything you’d heard enough. It was just a weekend fling and meant nothing? You felt your heart start to break.  

Seonghwa looked confused at the upset look on your face, he said something to Jongho who turned to you. He started to walk to you but you turned and ran outside. You heard him yell your name but you didn’t stop. As you got outside a group of skiers followed you out. Jongho couldnt get around the group and by the time he got outside he’d lost sight of you. He rushed back in “Hyung what happened?” He asked in a panic. “I think she misunderstood part of our conversation.” Seonghwa replied. 

Jongho couldn’t believe this was happening. He rushed back to his room, the only thought running through his mind was to speak to you to try and clear the misunderstanding. The napkin, that’s what he needed to find. He checked the pockets of the jeans he’d been wearing last night but it wasn’t there. He checked the bin but it was empty. Seonghwa had come back to the room and Jongho looked at him. “Hyung I’ve lost her.”

Choi Jongho Part 1

Jongho x You 

You had no idea how it happened but here you were on your way to the mountains for a ski weekend. Skiing! Of all the things for your friends to suggest this was the by far the most extreme they could have picked. You were not one for outdoor sports, you much preferred to be in a cosy library or curled up at home enjoying a good drama. Your friends had insisted it would be a good weekend for you to try something new so after much persuasion you’d finally given in and agreed to go with them.  

At least they’d hired a comfortable mini van for the drive and you’d had chance to have a quick nap. You woke up to the van winding its way up a hill with snow on either side of the road. The sun was bright and it was difficult to look at the snow with the light reflected off it. You started to have second thoughts just as the van pulled into a parking space. The ski chalet was busy with people arriving and others leaving. “Come on, let’s go check in.” Your friend said excitedly.  

As you stepped out of the van cool air made your cheeks tingle. You pulled your scarf up around your face so just your eyes were uncovered. You grabbed your bag from the boot and followed your friends inside. Oh it was nice and warm inside, and noisy with the bustle of people coming and going from the ski slopes. “I’d like to check in please,” you informed the reception desk. Having checked your details and obtained your key you turned back to your friends. “Let’s freshen up and meet here.”  

You all agreed to meet back in 20 minutes to start exploring. It wasn’t too late in the day and you could still head to the slopes for a look around and a try. You were nervous because you’d never skied before but you didn’t back down from a challenge. You’d changed into ski pants, thermals and boots and had grabbed some ski goggles to help with the glare from the sun on the snow. “Do you want to try skiing or a snow board?” You looked at your friend in disbelief.  

“Snow board?! Can we please take it easy and stick to the basics. I do not want to break a leg this weekend.” You replied jokingly. “Ok then let’s go hire some skis and give this a go,” your friend responded. Right you can do this you repeated to yourself as you went into the ski store next to the chalet. You were given all the safety instructions for what to do when on the slope and which slope to go to for beginners. Your heart was beating a little too quickly but you would still try.  

You nearly tripped on the way to the cable car, not used to walking while wearing skis, but once on it was quite pleasant. You saw snow boarders and skiers rushing down the slopes, twisting and turning making it all look so easy and so fun. “Time to get off,” your friend said to you. You had to jump off and as you did you nearly landed on your bum in front of a group of snowboarders. You felt yourself go red as they turned to look at you. Your friend steadied you and helped you move off.  

“It’ll be easy, don’t worry. Use the poles to slow yourself down and turn your skis to the side to try and stop speeding up.” You nodded, you could do this. Your friend beside you as you pushed off, a nice slow pace which was fine. Your friend was beside you so you were ok. You didn’t notice when there was a slight dip and all of a sudden you started to pick up speed. Your friend shouted at you to use the poles to slow down but you were panicking at how fast you were now going.  

“Help!” You shouted as you sped past a group of people. In your panic you’d forgotten the safety instructions you’d been given. You didn’t know what to do, you didn’t want this to be your final thought. There was so much more left to do! Your thoughts were racing. “Help!” You shouted again. There was a commotion behind you, tried to turn back to see but you couldn’t. All of a sudden a dark blur was beside her. “Please help” you shouted out. It was someone on a snowboard and they veered to you.  

Using the momentum of their snowboard they moved in front of you slightly and started to slow down. As they did so they started to slow you down as well. “Don’t panic!” They shouted to you, “I’ll slow you down.” You nodded at them, too scared to speak. You came to a gradual stop with their help but you felt yourself losing your balance as you did so. Unable to stop yourself you fell forward and landed on your saviour. “Thank you and I’m so sorry!” You said to them. 

They just lay there unable to move until you realised that they were pinned under you. “Oh my gosh I’m so sorry!” You tried to get off them but your skis were tangled and you ended up falling back down. “Just let me get up first,” they said. It was then that you realised your saviour was a man and this made it even worse. Embarassment washed over you, could this day get any worse? He stood up and then turned back to you reaching a hand out to help you up. 

You took his hand and as he pulled you up you fell into him again. You collided with a strong chest and his arms reached out to steady you. “Are you ok?” Concern laced his voice, unable to say anything you just nodded. You looked up at him but you couldn’t make out his features. He had a scarf covering his lower face and big black goggles obscuring the rest of his face. You could do nothing but nod at him. Your friends were shouting your name as they rushed towards you.  

“Are you ok?” “Oh my gosh are you hurt?” They were all speaking at once. “I’m ok thanks to my hero.” You joked back. As you said this you realised he was still holding you. Your friends also noticed this. “I think she’s ok now, you can let go,” they said with a knowing smirk. Heat flooded your cheeks as you stepped away. “Jongho-ya!” A shout came from behind them. Your hero looked back and waved at his group. “If you’re all good I’ll leave you.” He said. He nodded at your friends and left.  

“Ooooo, so your hero is called Jongho. I wonder if you’ll see him again?” Your friends tased you as they helped you back towards the cable car. You wondered the same and couldn’t help but look back at the group Jongho had joined wondering if you’d be seeing him again. “Did you have fun playing the hero?” Seonghwa teased Jongho. “She was in trouble hyung and I couldnt just leave her to get hurt,” Jongho replied. As he said this he couldn’t help but look at you as you went past with your friends 

Seonghwa smirked, he knew Jongho couldn’t help himself when someone was in trouble. He was also the most experienced on the slopes out of all of them. “Shall we head back then?” Seonghwa asked Jongho, “hmm?” Jongho was still distracted by you. Seonghwa smiled knowingly. This weekend would be interesting indeed.

San x You

You hadn’t had your little mochi shop for long but had found that it was getting busy and you were starting to sell out daily. It was during one of these busy days that you noticed him come in. Dark baseball cap pulled low over his eyes so that his features were shadowed. He stood back and just looked over the menu as if deciding which flavour to order. After a few moments he approached the counter. “2 strawberry mochi please,” he said in a soft voice. 

You packed them up for him and passed the bag to him. “Hope you enjoy them” you say with a smile. He nods slightly, “Thank you,” he says. A few days later he returns. Again he stands as if looking over the menu until he approaches the counter. “Hello again” you say with a smile. “Hello,” he says in response. “Did you enjoy the mochi?” You ask. “Ah yes, it was just the right amount of sweetness.” Smiling, pleased with his comment you ask if he’d like anything today.  

He lifts his hat a little bit staring at you with his dark eyes. He takes a moment before saying that he’d like some more strawberry mochi. Flustered by his intense stare it takes you a moment to realise what he’s said. “Ah, yes mochi. How many again?” He replies 2. You get them packaged and hand them over to him, his hand brushing yours as he takes the bag from you. His fingertips light against your skin. A faint smile on his lips as he leaves. 

He becomes a regular at your store, always coming in towards the end of the day. You’re so used to his timing that you find yourself saving 2 strawberry mochi just in case he comes on a different day. You almost look forward to his visits. He’s just another customer though so why does it bother you when he doesn’t come?  

It was later than us usual when you started to close up, it had been busy and you’d not realised the time. Just as you were about to lock the door you saw him approaching quickly. “Are you still open?” He asked slightly out of breath. “I was just about to lock up, I don’t have much left today.” He looked relieved at your response, “That’s ok, I’ll just have 2 mochi of whatever flavour you have left.” You let him into the shop as you went to package what you had left.  

You didn’t want to tell him that you’d saved strawberry flavour mochi for him in case he stopped by. Would he think you were waiting for him? Surely not. As you came back into the shop, you realised that today he wasn’t wearing his usual hat and you could see his face without any shadow. You stopped short, he was beautiful. How had you not noticed before? He smiled when he saw the bag in your hand, a deep dimple appearing in his cheek. “Oh you have some!” He said happily.  

You told him that you’d found some strawberry mochi and his smile deepened. “Thank you so much!” He said. “San-ah!” Came a call from outside, he turned toward the door. Another man was stood there calling for his attention, “I’ll be there in a minute Jongho,” he said. Oh so his name was San? It fit him perfectly. “Thank you again,” he said as he paid. Again his fingers brushed yours as he took the bag from you, this time a small shiver went through you. What was happening?  

It was a busy few weeks that passed before you realised he hadn’t been in for his usual order. You wondered whether it was because he hadn’t enjoyed the last order and had found somewhere else to buy from. Maybe it was also your imagination playing tricks on you but did he mean to touch your hand last time? His touch had been soft so you were unsure. Had he wanted you to respond in some way? You were so lost in your thoughts that you weren’t paying attention to the next customer.  

“Excuse me,” you looked up. Oh it was the other man that had been with San the last time he came to the shop. “Hi, what flavour would you like?” You asked. “Erm, just 2 strawberry please.” “Are these for San?” You asked. His eyes widened a little in surprise, “yes they are” he replied. Ah ok he still liked your mochi, at leas that was something. “He really likes the mochi.” Jongho said, you smiled and said you were glad he enjoyed them.  

Days passed and again it was closing time. All the lights were off and you’d locked the door. As you were about to pull the shutters down you heard hurried footsteps behind you. There he was hurrying towards you, hair dishevelled. “Am I too late?” He asked breathlessly. “Yes, I’m sorry but we sold out and it’s time to close up.” You turned and locked the shutters thinking he’d have gone. As you turned you realised that he’d gotten closer. “At least I got to see you though.” He said quietly.  

It was said so softly you thought you’d misheard him at first. You looked at him, he was smiling so that his dimple was showing and it made your heart flutter. He ducked his head shyly as if embarassed by what he said. “I’m glad you came.” You said in response. He took this as an invitation to step a little closer, his hand reaching up to cup your cheek. His hand warm on your cool skin sending shivers down your spine. “Are you cold sunshine?” He asked. All you could do was shake your head.  

“I’ll come back on another day” he said moving his hand away from your cheek. “Yes, that would be good. I’ll make sure I have your favourite saved for you.” He smiled and turned to leave. You turned back to make sure everything was locked up when you heard footsteps coming back towards you. It was San again. “Did you forget something?” “Yes” he said, “this” just before he bent down and captured your lips with his. His lips were soft and gentle stealing your breath with his caress.

Guilty pleasure

It was late, later than he usually stayed out during a weekday. Seonghwa thought Mingi and San had already gone to bed so he tried to make as little sound as possible when closing the dorm door and coming inside. As he went towards his room he noticed that San’s door was open and that his light was still on. That’s strange Seonghwa thought, San is usually one to sleep early if they’ve had a busy day. He crept closer not wanting to make any noise in case Sannie had fallen asleep with the light on. As he approached he heard a soft moan from inside. Seonghwa stopped in his tracks at the sound, was Sannie ok? The thought crossed his mind as he crept closer to the door. “I’ll just make sure” he thought to himself. As he peered around San’s door he saw the younger man’s head thrown back and a look of pure ecstasy on his face. “Oh” thought Seonghwa, looking on in fascination. Not wanting to disturb San he moved back and went to his own room.

The next morning Seonghwa wasn’t able to shake the memory of San’s face and the ecstasy he’d seen etched there. Could it be that good? That was the only thought that he had during the day, unable to shake the need to experience it himself. He was distracted during rehearsals and everyone kept asking if he was ok, he reassured them he was fine despite having the same thought running through his mind. He had to get home and satisfy his curiosity. Finally he was home and it was time.

Seonghwa unable to wait ran into the kitchen and opened the fridge. There it was, a white chocolate cream cake with fresh strawberries. Waiting for him, just one bit would be ok, surely Sannie wouldn’t mind? Unable to resist he grabbed a fork and took a bite. He was in heaven, unable to stop himself he found that he had finished all the cake that was left. He wiped the cream from his lips and text San apologising and promising to buy him another cake.

Yunho x You

Yunho

Long legs stretched out in front of him, completely relaxed and at ease. Dressed in his suit and navy shirt, the jacket placed over the back of a chair, Yunho was waiting to be called up for the photo shoot. The other members had already completed their shoots and were headed home after getting changed. “Yunho, do you want me to wait for you to finish and we can head out together?” Yeosang asked him. “No it’s ok, it’s getting late and we have an early start tomorrow. You head home.” He replied. 

As Yeosang went out of the waiting room you realised that it was just you and Yunho left alone. You were there as a hair stylist for the group but so far hadn’t worked with Yunho, only Yeosang. You busied yourself tidying up your work space, lost in your own thoughts. You picked up a hair brush and looked up only to be caught in Yunho’s gaze. He was so still and silent that you had almost forgotten he was still in the room. He rested his cheek in his hand while gazing at you. 

As you caught his eye he sat up a little, his finger now tracing his lip as he continued to stare at you. You were almost mesmerised by his stare but the movement of his hand caused you to break eye contact and focus on his movements instead. Yunho saw your focus shift and a slight smirk ghosted his face before his expression became neutral again. Almost on purpose he moved his hand down his neck and let it linger just at the base of his throat. You were almost bewitched and couldn’t look away.

The top button of his shirt was undone and he went to the next button almost as if he was going to undo it. Just as his hands reached the fastening a voice called out his name. It was enough to break you from your trance. You looked up and saw Yunho’s dark gaze back on you. Heat flooded your cheeks as you realised you’d been caught looking. Turning away quickly you busied yourself trying to pack away the rest of your things. You didn’t hear him move, no rustle of clothing as he stood up. 

There was no sound of footsteps. You just felt heat at your back and a slight smell of his aftershave. Your breath hitched as you turned around. He was close but not too close, aware that his height could be intimidating. You looked up, he was smiling slightly at you. “Did you like what you saw my sweet?” Flustered you tried to back away but realised your table was behind you. “I, didn’t, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to…” your words tumbled out and you internally groaned at your inability to speak. 

Yunho, relaxed in his movements, leant forward causing you to try and move backwards even more. You stumbled and he reached out to steady you. His hand warm on your arm, but he didn’t let go. Instead he moved his hand to your back. Heat radiated through your body from where his hand rested. Your heartbeat started to hum in a new rhythm and your breath hitched at his closeness. Yunho still didn’t move back and instead bent his head towards you. 

He moved to whisper “I like what I see.” His words skimmed over your skin and sent shivers down your spine. The sensation was so intense that you didn’t realise what he’d said at first. When the words sink in, your head snaps up to look at him only to find that he’s now even closer. His lips so close you can see the lip balm glistening. Instinctively you move closer and still Yunho doesn’t move away. Almost as if you don’t have control of your own body your hand reaches up to touch his face. 

“Yunho! We’re ready for you now.” Another call for him to go out and finish his shoot. With slow movements as if he’s in not rush to finish and go home he moves slightly away. “I’ll be there in a minute” he calls back. He looks at you again, a satisfied smile playing at his lips. “Shall we finish this later my sweet?” You’re out of breath and flustered from his closeness. He reaches out and brushes his hand across your cheek, his touch featherlight, leaving goosebump on your skin. 

He turns, collects his jacket and walks out. Your heart is still racing and your face feels warm. You take a minute to steady yourself. What just happened is the only thought that runs through your head followed closely by what to do next.

After Yunho left you were unsure how long you stayed there leaning back against the table. You shook your head and finished packing your things away. Still in a daze you walked out of the room, not really focusing on where you were going until you collided with someone. “Oh I’m sorry..” you started to say as you looked up. You stopped short when you saw eyes full of concern. “Are you ok?” The question was softly spoken as he reached out to steady you as you stumbled a little bit.

He didnt touch you but let his hand hover near your arm in case you stumbled again. Yeosang was quiet strength and calm in the chaos you were experiencing. “Noona, are you ok?” He asked again, looking even more concerned at your lack of response. “Yes, yes I’m ok. I just wasn’t looking where I was going.” You finally found your words to answer him. “I thought you’d already left for the day” you said to him. “Ah, I kind of forgot my phone in the green room” he said shyly. 

“Oh again?” You asked. It was common that Yeosang would forget the occasional thing here and there. He looked a bit embarassed at having confessed his reason for coming back. “Ah, ok. Try not to forget it again. I’ll see you in the morning for the next shoot” you said with a smile. You stepped to the side and started to walk away. As you did you saw him come round the corner. Oh damn, the shoot was over already. Would Yunho think you were waiting for him? No, surely he wouldn’t? 

You carried on walking trying to avoid eye contact with him. As you got closer he seemed to slow down, waiting for you to come nearer to him. “Oh you’re still here?” The question was asked with just a mild hint of curiosity, as if he was well aware of the effect he’d had on you and not at all surprised that you were still at the shoot. “Ah yes I was just finishing packing my things away, I’ll see you all in the morning” you said in an attempt to make it seem like you’d been busy. 

You started to walk past him but as you did there was the lightest touch on your arm stopping you. You looked up at him, his eyes focused on you. “Tomorrow will you be my hair stylist?” The question was unexpected. “I don’t know who I will be assigned to” was all you could say in response. There was that smirk again, “Oh you’ll definitely be mine tomorrow.” Your eyes widened in shock as you looked at him. He was so confident it made you question if this was actually happening.

The slightest of movements and his hand was reaching up to trace your cheek, the lightest of touches that sent a shiver down your spine. You tried not to react but your body betrayed you. A satisfied smile spread across his face. Heat rushed to your cheeks as you tried your hardest to remain calm and composed. Before anything else happened you heard a shout from behind you, “Hyung! Shall we go home together? I forgot my phone and had to come back for it.” Yeosang called out to Yunho. 

Yunho immediately turned and responded to Yeosang, “Yes let me get changed and we’ll head out. Did you eat yet?” Yeosang’s answer was drowned out by other members of the shoot coming into the hallway. You took this opportunity to make a quick exit before anything else happened. I’ll be his tomorrow was the only thought running through your mind as you left. 

You’d been asked to come to the final day of the shoot around midday as you were going to be styling the last shoot of the day. You didn’t mind, it gave you chance to have a lie in and relax before the chaos of the last day. Inevitably the shoot would overrun but you liked working with Ateez, especially Yeosang who has been so nice to you. You hadn’t worked with all the members, only a few and you wondered who you would be working with today. 

As you stepped on set your own thoughts were drowned out by the sounds and people around you. It looked like all the members had arrived and the shoot was well underway. You went to your station and started unpacking your equipment. You felt rather than heard someone behind you, looking up your breath hitched as you saw dark eyes staring at you from the mirror. A smirk hovered over his lips, confidence oozing from him. “I told you you’d be mine today.”

Flustered you nearly dropped the brush you were holding. He was dangerous, why did it have to be him today? You closed your eyes and took a breath. Turning round you looked up at him, “Hello Yunho, have a seat and we’ll get started. I don’t want to take too long on your look.” You tried to stay professional and to avoid focusing on his nearness. You moved out of the way so he could get settled in the chair. Resisting the urge to run your fingers through his soft hair you started to style him. 

As you moved your hand to the front of his hair, moving it away from his forehead, Yunho turned his face ever so slightly. “Mmm, you smell nice.” His lips almost touching the inside of your wrist, his breath featherlight on your skin. You shivered at the sensation, you looked at him but he was so calm. To everyone around them it looked like he was just talking to you, no one could see what was really happening.

“You need to stop, people could see what you’re doing.” You tried to say it calmly and softly but your heart was racing. “What am I doing my sweet?” His question was quiet, almost a dare to let him know how you were reacting to him. Heat crept up your cheeks, unable to say anything in response. “Yunho!” A shout saved you, it was time for him to go. You watched him causally walk out, innocence and calm radiating from him. “Hi Noona!” You turned at the greeting, “Hello Yeosang, how are you today?”

“I’m all done for today, I’m heading home now!” You could see his excitement at being finished and now going home to relax. “Oh that’s nice, I’ll see you next time.” You replied with a smile. You heard your name being called and looked up, “You need to come and fix his hair again” came the request. You entered the set and saw him waiting patiently. There were no seats so he had to bend down for you. He was so close, too close, if you moved a little his cheek would touch yours. 

As if reading your thoughts you felt the light touch of his cheek against yours, his breath tickling your ear. You moved back a little bit, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “I’m enjoying this,” a smile playing at his lips. “You can’t be doing this, I need to work and you need to be professional,” you said. “Plenty of time for that my sweet.” He said with a wink. You moved away from him but didn’t leave the set. 

The shoot wasn’t long and as it was wrapping up you made your way behind the screens that had been erected. Put of nowhere you felt a hand on your arm and a gentle tug into the shadows. You turned and felt yourself being pressed against the wall, it was dark in this area but you knew instinctively who it was. “All mine now” came the satisfied voice. “There are people around someone might see!” “No one will see us my sweet.” He replied calmly. Stepping forward until you could feel his heat. 

His face close to yours, stopping for a moment as if asking permission. You looked at him and closing your eyes tilted your face towards his. It was all the permission he needed. His lips touched yours softly at first and then with more passion. Pulling away he brushed his thumb across your lower lip. “So sweet, until next time.” He’d left you breathless but wanting more. Could you let this happen again?
