⌗ kwon ohyul - say it like you mean it
summary; you’re upset he didn’t tell you he was leaving again, and he’s way too entertained by your reaction. every time you try to stay mad, he pulls you closer, jokes instead of defending himself properly, and somehow convinces you that being angry might not be your strongest position right now
warnings; argument, upset reader, ohyul not taking her seriously, kiss, petnames

you slam the door harder than you meant to, mostly because you know he’s already home and you want him to hear it,
“you’re back early,” he calls from the couch, voice calm, almost amused
you kick your shoes off instead, toss your bag down, and turn to him with that look already burning behind your eyes
“wow,” ohyul calls from the couch, voice light, “someone’s in a mood,”
he’s exactly where he was before; relaxed, stretched out like he’s got all the time in the world, like you’re not standing there about to explode..
that’s what sets you off first,
“don’t talk to me like that,” you snap immediately,
his brows lift slightly, “like what?”
“like i’m being dramatic,”
then he hums, slow, “are you not being dramatic?”
you stare at him and he just smiles
that small, annoying, entertained smile that makes your blood heat instantly,
“don’t,” you start immediately, pointing at him like it’ll stop him from speaking, “don’t do that thing where you act like nothing’s wrong,”
his brows lift, “what thing?”
“that thing,” you snap, stepping closer, “you didn’t tell me you’re leaving. again. i had to find out from someone else, like i’m just- what, a fan? a stranger? what is this, ohyul?”
his lips twitch like he’s trying not to smile
“you didn’t tell me,” you repeat, voice already rising
he leans his head back against the couch, still watching you like you’re a show he doesn’t want to pause,
“i was going to tell you,” he says casually, a small smile still lingering on his face
“when?” you shoot back, “after you were already gone? when i’m sitting here wondering why my boyfriend suddenly disappears like a ghost?”
“i don’t disappear like a ghost,” he says, completely unfazed
you scoff, “oh really? what would you call it then?”
“don’t be smart with me right now, stop smiling,” you accuse, voice sharpening
“i’m not smiling,” he says, but he absolutely is, “i’m listening,”
“no, you’re not listening, you’re just sitting there like- like this is funny,”
his eyes drift over you in that slow, infuriating way, like he’s watching a performance he already knows the ending to,
and then, because he has absolutely no survival instincts, he says,
“you look really good when you’re mad,”
then you get even angrier,
“are you serious,” you say slowly,
he shrugs, like actually shrugs
“i’m telling you something serious,” you say, louder now, “and you’re sitting here like it’s entertainment to you,”
“it is a little entertaining,” he admits
you step closer, “ohyul, i’m not joking, i found out you’re leaving the country from someone else, not you, someone else!”
his expression shifts slightly at that, just for a second
but then he ruins it immediately by leaning forward a bit, resting his elbows on his knees like he’s suddenly more interested,
“okay,” he says, “that part.. yeah, that’s fair,”
you blink, thrown off for half a second,
then he adds, softer but still smug,
“but you’re still really cute when you’re mad,”
you let out a frustrated sound, “oh my god, are you serious right now? i’m literally talking about you not telling me you’re leaving the country and you’re- what- admiring me?”
“no i’m listening too,” he says simply,
you scoff, pacing a step back, then forward again like your body can’t decide whether to fight him or leave,
“you’re actually impossible,”
he just tilts his head, still way too calm, still watching you,
“don’t do that,” you warn,
his mouth curves, “what face?”
“that smug, i-know-you’re-going-to-forgive-me face,”
he finally stands up then, slow, but still way too entertained, “i was going to apologize,”
he steps closer, “i still am,”
you try to hold your ground, but he’s right there now, and it’s harder to be angry when he’s looking at you like that..
like you’re the only thing pulling him in
“you’re not actually that mad,” he says quietly, like he’s testing it
he takes a step closer, “you’re just hurt,”
your voice drops, “don’t psychoanalyze me right now,”
his eyes soften for half a second, then immediately ruin it by glancing down at your lips like he’s bored of the little self control he has when he’s around you
“i should’ve told you,” he admits, “i know, i’m sorry,”
you stare at him, still breathing hard,
“that’s it?” you ask, “that’s your apology?”
and then, because he’s him, he reaches for you like it’s the most natural thing in the world
you immediately swat his hand away,
he pauses, looking mildly amused again, “don’t what?”
“i was going to tell you,” he says, “i just.. kept putting it off, i didn’t want you to get upset,”
you let out a humorless laugh, “wow mission accomplished,”
“yeah,” he admits, a little sheepish now, but still annoyingly composed, “you’re pretty good at being upset,”
you finally look back at him, “don’t flirt your way out of this,”
“i’m not flirting,” he says, absolutely flirting, reaching out for your hand again
you yank your hand back, but he catches your wrist anyway, immediately pulling you closer instead of letting you escape the conversation like you usually do
“stop pulling me in,” you mutter,
“stop looking at me like that then,” he shoots back,
his eyes flick down to your lips for half a second before returning to your face, “like you want me to shut you up,”
you hate how close he is now
you hate more that he looks completely calm about it,
“you’re impossible,” you say, voice shaking more from frustration than anything else,
“you already said that,” he replies,
his hand finds your waist and you don’t move away,
“i’m sorry,” he says softly.
“you’ve been talking for ten minutes,” he says
and he just smiles like he’s won something
“you’re enjoying this,” you scoff
you shove his chest lightly, “you’re so annoying,”
he catches your wrist before you can pull away, but instead of stopping you, he just keeps it there between you
“yeah,” he says, voice lower now, “i’m sorry yn, i should’ve told you,”
you open your mouth to argue again-
and he leans in like he’s about to kiss you, but you turn your face away instantly
he laughs under his breath, like he expected it,
“are you gonna keep this up?” he murmurs,
“yes,” you say immediately
his thumb brushes your wrist slowly,
you hate that it makes it harder to stay mad
“i’m actually going to kill you,” you mutter,
“you’re not,” he says calmly,
because he’s still looking at you like that..
but not mad in the way you were a few minutes ago,
“you’re still annoying,” you say finally,
his hand slides to your waist anyway, like he already knows the answer, like he’s always known
he doesn’t rush you, just stays there, close enough that your anger has nowhere to go except into him
“you’re not making this better,” you whisper
“i’m not trying to,” he says honestly, then softer, “i’m trying to fix it,”
you finally look at him again
and this time you don’t move away when he leans in to press a soft kiss on your lips
it’s sweet and gentle, like he’s waiting for you to decide he’s forgiven,
when you don’t push him off, he deepens it just slightly, hand tightening at your waist like relief
when he pulls back, he’s still smiling
“you’re still mad,” he says,
you glare at him weakly, “don’t start,”
he brushes his thumb over your side, “i didn’t mean to upset you baby, i just didn’t know when to tell you,”
“you should’ve just told me immediately,”
“i know,” he sighs, “but-“
“no but,” you cut in, “there’s no ‘but’ to this,”
he only smiles, still that annoying, amusing little smile,
“can you stop smiling, i’m being dead serious,” you groan softly
“i’m sorry,” he chuckles, “what can i do to make it up to you?”
“we’ve got an hour until ryul comes back,” he says casually, like he’s talking about the weather, “so you can either keep complaining.. or we actually make use of the time,”
“are you being for real right now?”
he looks entirely unbothered. “you’re the one standing this close to me after yelling for 10 minutes,”
he leans in again, voice dropping just enough to make your thoughts short circuit, “you’re really hot when you’re mad, you know that?”
“oh my god,” you mutter, but you don’t move away
his grin widens, “yeah like that,”
“you’re not getting away with this so easily,” you scoff
“what?” he grins, “you’d rather have ryul here when we do it?”
“we’re not doing anything,” you say, glaring up at him
“say that again like you mean it,” he chuckles, pulling you closer by your waist
“you’re not getting away with this so easily,” you scoff, still glaring up at him
then he exhales a quiet laugh, like he’s actually amused by you holding your ground,
his hand stays at your waist, but he doesn’t pull you closer this time, just looks at you properly
“so,” he says softly, “go on then, what do i have to do?”
“answer the question,” he interrupts, but his tone is still teasing, not demanding
you shove his chest lightly again, “you have to listen,”
“i am,” he says, leaning in just enough that his voice drops again, “i just don’t think you’re actually mad anymore,”
then stop, because he’s right, and he knows it
you glare at him anyway, “you’re still not getting away with it easily,”
his grin returns, slower this time
“good,” he says. “didn’t want it easy,”
and when he kisses you again, it’s like a truce you didn’t formally agree to
