❥ at Seongjun's restaurant:
You were sitting on the stool calmly while playing with the ice cube inside your glass. Seongjun was cutting the fish in front of you as you listen to him talking about the last deal he made. Unfortunately for you, you hear the door of the restaurant open and the cheerful voice of 244 filling the room. The second your eyes met each other, the atmosphere turned sour, you could only glare at him in hatred as he sits down beside you.
Since Seongjun started to cook only for you, you ended up with only a plate for the two of you, and it was not your favourite thing. With the plate placed between the two of you, 244 shoves you away to take the plate for himself, immediately, you kick his leg before dragging the plate back on your side.
As you were going to strangle each other, Seongjun turns around after washing the dishes, you both sit still as if nothing happened. And with a sigh, you push the plate in between the two of you before eating in silence, occasionally complimenting Seongjun's cooking skills.
❥ with the other members of the XJ company:
You were sitting with the others, talking about the next member you could choose when you feel someone glaring at you. Yeonwoo and Sengjun kept talking while the others were listening, as you and 244 glared at each other.
Since the two of you were the only ones seeing Seongjun on a daily basis, you were used to hanging out with him quite regularly. But it was also the starting point of most of your arguments, who bought him the best clothes, who spend the most time with him this week.
Luckily for the others, you were most of the time sat beside each other so when a stupid competition like this one started, nobody was in the middle and most of them were used to it, so they would not react. And surprisingly, Seongjun never tried to stop it, even if it was disturbing the current conversation.
❥ on live:
244 could not live with Seongjun since Taesan did not allow it, but it was not the same situation for you which lead to some regular collaborations with Seongjun.
And every time, you knew 244 would be watching it to make sure you would not try to do something. In the end, 244 could not send messages with his current account, so he would either do it with another one or send you directly a message if you were too close to him or anything else.
It became a habit for you to just do some things to annoy 244 while you were on live, knowing it would drive him mad. At some point, he started sending useless messages to Seongjun, so his attention could somewhere else instead of on you. The last time he tried this method, you promised Seongjun to bring him to his favourite restaurant the same night, which granted you his entire attention for the day, and also 244's rage for the week.
❥ at the award ceremony:
The award ceremony was something really important for Seongjun, as it could show his power and popularity. You would never accompany him, but this one time he asked you to, and surprisingly, it did not end up in a bad way.
As you were both fighting over who was going to sit beside Seongjun, it turns out the person which was supposed to sit there was sick. So you both sat in silence, on each side of Seongjun, still glaring at each other over his shoulder. But as you were too busy hating the enemy, you noticed how some men and women would try to flirt with Seongjun.
With a curt nod, you agree with the other one for once, you turn around in sync and managed to shoo the annoying people away. And that's how you end up playing the bodyguards for Seongjun the entire night. As you were finally back home, you shake hands, thanking the other for helping. This night, was the first night you agreed on something.
❥ when eating with Taesan:
Since you were all working in the same business, you would meet with Taesan every week, talking about how much you were making and what could you do to increase the profit.
Like always, you would fight over who was going to sit down beside him and one time, this argument made Taesan spill the tea and burn himself. As 244 and you were sitting on your knees, listening to Taesan scolding you about your childish behaviour. Both your eyes widened when you saw him sit next to Seongjun as if nothing was happening.
The next second, you were looking at each other while nodding, getting ready to get Taesan at any chance, since he stole your place. Finally, after Taesan grew tired of your quarrels, he decided that you would sit next to him alternatively, and it managed to calm you down.
❥ drinking night at the restaurant:
It may have happened once that you were both planning to meet Seongjun at his restaurant after it closed, but unfortunately, the same night.
That's how you showed up at the same time in front of the door, with a nice bottle of liquor in your hand, and before you could kill each other, Seongjun asked you to come inside. With how frustrated you were that the other ruined your perfectly planned night, you and 244 ended up drinking the most. And at the end of the night, you were both sleeping with your head resting on the counter, drunk.
Thankfully for your pride, you forgot most of the night. But you remember well how you did not only flirt with Seongjun but also 244. And this man flirted back. Seongjun was the only one who did not drink a drop of alcohol and watched the two of you playing around. But he, obviously, never told that to any of you.
❥ alternative ending:
After the night you spend drinking with 244, you both wake up sleeping in each other arms on the ground. Surprisingly, your drunk selves were much more talking than yourselves, and it made you learn many things about the other.
With this night, talking without trying to kill each other, without any other problem in mind, turns out it has been more fun than you thought. And without knowing it, you fell for one another instead of pursuing your loves for Seongjun.
And so, after an awkward talk, fully sober this time, you let go of your fight over Seongjun and tries to understand the other better.
But for Seongjun who has been on the receiving ends of your attention for weeks, or even more, months and has been forgotten in a blink of an eye, he was confused. He has been bathing in your attention from the start and got surprised when you weren't so much after him anymore.
And as he leaves his restaurant one night after waiting for the two of you for more than an hour, he notices how 244's car was parked in his usual emplacement. As he walks closer, trying to understand what was happening, she sees you and 244 kissing in a car without a care in the world. Not paying any attention to Seongjun or for how long you made him wait.
I read the reply really late sorryyy :(( and yes i did mean a oneshot sorry for my poor choice of words :'(
Looking forward to what you'll be writing! <3
perspective (jinho lee x reader)
details: oneshot, gender neutral reader written in 2nd pov, general canon au but if jinho never took that motel job, you and jinho are roommates/friends
warning: themes of existentialism...? jinho and reader have those kinds of "philosophical" conversations !
summary: a conversation leads to jinho feeling like the knot he's had in his mind is slowly beginning to untangle.
a/n: dw, anon, im glad u even came back and replied at all 😭💖 thanks for letting me know, i hope this works for you~ i focused on the last part (the build up of everything) of ur request bc the rest is kinda hard to fit into a oneshot; much apologies T_T
sharing context/og request below:
×
A goal to live for; a reason to make life "meaningful."
Out of everything in Jinho's life, that was what he felt like he was missing. It wasn't suffocating him, but it did make him feel... empty. And, well, he felt empty enough as is, he didn't exactly need the lack of a goal to make him even more emptier. The thing was, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find a satisfactory answer.
Granted, he never asked anyone for their thoughts and only tried to come up with conclusions himself, but he felt like he didn't need to. Aside from believing no one was worthy enough to answer, it was just easy to guess how most people would reply anyway. Something cheesy like, "Work hard and achieve your dreams," is what they would say, probably.
It's not as if that in particular was a bad idea, it just didn't feel like enough for Jinho. Perhaps there was more to his feelings... either way, he couldn't untangle the knot in his mind.
~
Jinho tilted his head at the building he found himself stopping at to observe. It was an animal shelter of some kind. A brand new building, one he figured couldn't have been but a few months old.
Brightly colored posters were plastered around and he ended up walking closer to read them. He had to bend down a bit before he could properly see what was on them. The posters were asking for volunteers to help the staff.
"Should I sign up?" he wondered, holding his chin as he read the details on the paper. It was volunteer work, so the lack of pay felt like a waste but he could potentially earn himself a few reputation points. Not to mention, it would probably look good on his resume. He also had free time on his schedule and was able to make adjustments here and there so perhaps...
As he thought about it, the sound of the building's door opening made him straighten up and look over. To his surprise, he saw his roommate.
"Bye! See you tomorrow!" you called out to someone from in the shelter before the door shut behind you. The next second, you noticed Jinho and jumped a little. "You scared me!"
"Obviously," he quipped, smiling. He pointed at the poster he was just reading. "Are you a volunteer at this place?"
You sighed at his quick topic change but went along with it. "Yeah, I just discovered it like a few days ago. I was going to tell you about it since you like animals. I think?"
"How thoughtful." Jinho adjusted the grocery bags in his arm and continued to smile at you. "I was considering it. Is the work easy?"
"Well, you just clean and hang around animals mostly. Sometimes the staff force you to talk to the customers to inform them about the animals, but that's about it. So, yeah, I'd say it's easy."
Jinho hummed at your response. "I'll sign up some other day, then. It's a bit late into the evening now."
"Alright." You eyed his bags and then looked back at him. "Are you heading home?"
"Yes, I just came from a grocery store." Before you could say anything, he added, "I only bought things to make me dinner."
"You asshole," you said with a laugh, lightly slapping his arm.
He politely nodded as if to agree with you. "I'll make it up to you by walking home with you."
"If you make dinner for me with what we already have at home, I'll forgive you then."
"I refuse to cook for you unless I get something out of it."
"This guy..." A few more chuckles left you while you moved to walk alongside your roommate as he began to walk off. "I'll forgive you this time only."
"Okay." He gave you that same blank smile.
You shook your head before settling your hands in the pockets of your pants. "Anyways, now that you know about the animal shelter, I wanna talk about it."
"Okay."
"Could you be any more dry?"
"Gladly."
"You piece of..."
~
Despite the bickering, the conversation eventually carried on into what you intended, and it ended peacefully. When the two of you arrived home, it trailed off into other topics.
Jinho started cooking for himself right away while you slid into a seat at the dining table with a snack of your choice in your hand. The two of you continued to speak while busying yourselves.
"I'm jealous of the simple lifestyle animals have," you suddenly brought up.
Jinho couldn't help but laugh a little. "Talking about the animal shelter again?"
"Kind of, I just meant what I said in general, though. Aren't you jealous, too?"
"I suppose. There is less nuance for animals in their black and white world of kill or be killed. No 'morals' to fight over." He stirred up what was in his pot before glancing at you from the lack of a response. You were currently appearing rather bewildered, as if he said something that wasn't correct.
You cleared your throat. "...I was going to say I'm jealous of animals because they don't have to pay rent or deal with capitalism, but you're absolutely right." While Jinho laughed again, you said, "Being an animal would also be kind of scary, though. Every day I would have to be fighting for my survival."
"Don't you already do that?" Jinho glanced at you again, only to make sure you would see the glint in his eye. "You never know when there's a serial killer nearby, after all~"
The sound you made after what he said sounded like you were faking a shiver. "Generally I feel safe, though. I know humanity can be cruel, but at least I'm not living in a kill or be killed situation."
Jinho continued to stir. Wherever this conversation was going, it was starting to become intriguing. "Does it not bother you that humanity is cruel in the first place?"
"Of course, but that's not all there is to humanity. Kindness and being caring is a big aspect of being human. And I think that outweighs the bad, no matter how terrible things get."
"Is that so..." As Jinho turned off the stove, he mulled over your opinion. "Is that how you define humanity, then?"
"Sure, if you wanna put it like that." You munched on your snack for a bit and then blurted, "Oh, and stuff like creativity. Art, cooking, and all that--that's what makes humans human!" You smiled at at your roommate while he stared emotionlessly at you. He had trouble processing your words and only realized he forgot to reply after your smile started to fade. "You're an art student, so you get what I mean, right?"
"Hm." He tried to give you some kind of smile to compensate for his little reaction while he moved about to grab a bowl and spoon. "I'll just say that's an interesting point of view."
You raised a brow. "Is it? I think it's a pretty common view." You timidly asked, "Do you not think the same?"
Jinho let out a small, airy laugh. "I feel like I'm the only human in this world, but I don't think the way you do at all."
A look of concern grew on your face. "Well... what do you think, then?"
"I don't know. I haven't put much thought on it, and even if I did, there's a knot in my head preventing it. All I know is I feel like a human and everyone else feel like... animals."
"Huh." Your look of concern intensified. "I didn't know you thought like that, Jinho."
"Yes, because I've never told you." You shot him a glare, which only earned you a sly smile. Once he got his things together, he left the now empty pot in the sink and joined you at the dining table with his meal. "I'd still like to hear more about your view on humanity. Outside of what defines being human, what do you imagine is the 'most human' goal to have? What is there to strive for in our short, insignificant lives?"
"Woah, this conversation took a very intense turn," you replied, seemingly trying to lighten the mood. "Wait until 1:00 AM or something to give me an existential crisis."
"Very funny, now will you answer my question?"
He watched in amusement as you thinned your lips and shifted in your seat, clearly looking uncomfortable. Still, you ended up giving him an answer, but not before saying, "I don't know if the feeling you were describing earlier means you feel lonely, but I hope you know I'm here for you. We're roommates, but we're friends, too."
Words Jinho had heard millions of times. At least you seemed more truthful about them. As far as he could tell, you "cared" for him more than other people he's met, and you weren't annoying about it or trying to get something out of him.
Still, he ended up shrugging off your kindness. "Don't worry about it. Tell me what your answer to my question is."
A look of pity flashed in your eyes. "Right, uh... I can't speak for everyone, but personally I don't think we even really need to have goals."
"That's boring." Jinho frowned at your unsatisfying answer. He had been waiting all this time for your reply after the interesting things you said, only for this to be your answer? It didn't help him at all. He should've kept to his original idea about never asking anyone what they lived for.
You seemed mildly offended. "Listen, I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with simply living. We all don't need to be main characters going through six training arcs before achieving our goal of beating some bad guy. I mean, maybe some people do have it like that, and good for them to have something to strive for, but me and some other people are fine with just drifting by."
The frown on Jinho's face firmly stayed there. "Isn't that kind of lifestyle empty? What's the point if there's nothing to push you?"
"This probably sounds crazy, but some people just want to live and enjoy life as it is." Now you were just being sarcastic, yet there was a genuineness in your words. "Besides, I'd argue being unsatisfied and bored with life is what's really empty."
Why did that sound like you were indirectly calling him out? Surprising even to himself, it left Jinho unable to say anything in response.
Your words swirled around in his head, and he ended up deciding to just start eating his dinner. Meanwhile you went back to eating your snack and a silence fell over you two.
Of course, there was more Jinho wanted to say, but he was unsure of how to. He had much more to think about anyway.
~
Weeks had gone by. Things went back to normal after a slight awkward stage. The conversation from then had not been brought up between you two ever since but it stayed in Jinho's consciousness. For too long, if he had to be honest.
Again, he never asked for anyone's thoughts on what they lived for because he didn't think anyone was worthy enough to answer, but the conversation he had with you lead him to asking for your opinion.
Your answer was so strange. Here he was, wandering aimlessly and feeling empty with no direction, and was now being told that was okay. He didn't have to feel empty? He could be content with such a life? It made no sense. Yet you were a living perfect example of what you had described. It was easy for anyone to see how happy you were with your life.
What you thought of humans also fascinated him. Kindness and creativity, those were acts of humanity. He was capable of both, was that what made him human? You were capable of both as well. And his classmates. And the neighbors. And even the lady at the grocery store. But how come your kindness felt so different from his? Because he knew he only acted kind to get what he wanted while you acted kind just for the sake of it? Were you... more human than him?
Curiosity is all he felt. He wanted to understand--he had to understand why you were able to live and think the way you did. Anything but his boring life would be better.
"Who would've thought a simple conversation with some roommate would have me rethinking my entire life?"
It felt ridiculous to him, but he couldn't deny feeling somewhat thankful. The threads in his head were being gently tugged on after all. It could potentially lead to the knot being untangled.
Perhaps the simple insight you gave him that day were the words he had needed to hear to all his life.
Maybe do headcannons with a male reader with the XJ company who has like strong-ass thighs (thick~). Seeing reader crushing their opponents with his thighs. Idk why I typed this down, it immediately came up to my head.
Parings; Lee Jinho x Male!Reader ; Baek Seongjun x Male!Reader
Warnings; Crack/Violence (???), Evil men + Sketchy line of work.
A/N; Heyyyy lol. This was a fun request, I only wrote these two cuz I forgot every other member of XJ company— Anywho, this is pretty short for I didn’t have many ideas in mind, hope you enjoy <3.
Lee Jinho
He doesn’t like to get his hands dirty, but, he loves following you around while you do. His hands in his pockets and a smug smirk playing on his lips as he watches you work. The scowl on your face is almost as hypnotic as your legs. The tense muscles tightening around your opponent’s neck as they beg for mercy is almost amusing. Of course, he’ll voice his thoughts when the poor victim finally taps out, letting out a chuckle when you flip him off for being no help.
Baek Seongjun
He’s already got a soft spot for you but now?? He’s ready to sign some marriage certificates, Idk. A huff escapes him as he watches you pick a fight with a now ex-business partner, his leg idly bouncing up and down in anticipation. Keeping ready just in case things went south. He takes in the sight of you subduing the gangster and his lackeys, your harsh kicks making them realize that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to cross you two. The leader of the group desperately trying to get the upper hand as you snake your thighs around his head, his eyes blown wide with panic as you shoot Seongjun a thumbs up. It was gonna be another long night.
Hey can you make the “what would Sushi and Bird say and do when you said you are pregnant”?
244 and Baek Seongjoon with a pregnant S/O
Okie dokie so I'm combining all of these because they're similar. As for the second one, I doubt it will really make a difference where their girlfriend was from unless they wanted to visit or something.
Now this could go three ways for both of them honestly. More Jinho for two of them though. They would either make you get rid of it, they just dip on you and their kid, or they let you keep it and are very begrudgingly forced to be fathers. Either way, I don't think they would be the most thrilled about a child considering what is going on in their lives. I’m going to write the last one because it seems fun but if your curious about the other two, my inbox is always open!
Also my darlings these suck lmao♡
244/ Lee Jinho
Don't beat around the bush with this man. Just tell him straight out
Lost his composure 100%. I know this man just stared at you for a good minute when you told him. Like you know those blank looks he has sometimes? Yea that's what I'm talking about. Honestly this is the scariest motherfucker to tell you pregnant like I’m sweating just thinking about it
I hate to break it to you besties but if by some miracle he lets you keep it and decides to stick around, I don't think he would be the most involved with the kid as they grow up. But if this kid happens to make him feel something he might just stick around
This just crossed my mind but I have no clue if he would even be listed as this kid’s parent so uh good luck
Anyway, you’re not going to have to worry about much during your pregnancy. Now how he feels about the child growing in you is pretty much up in the air, but he does like you, hopefully, and would try to make it easier on you.
Speaking of making it easier, if you wanted to stay at home and raise the kid just say the word and you would never have to work another day in your life. I mean look at that man. He has got to be absolutely loaded. Babies are expensive though as hey that's a plus
I could see the crusty bitch purposely saying things to irritate you if you were having mood swings. He'd enjoy riling you up to so please for the love of god throw a pillow at that man and don't miss because he needs to be humbled
Chances are he's out and about causing problems on the town when you go into labor. When he gets the call I don't see him as the time to drop everything and run to your side. He will however finish up quickly and then go.
Please, please, please squeeze the hell out of this man's hand while you're in pain. You probably won't hurt him at all but the threat is there ♡
I bet, for better or for worse, the kid looks like him and has your eyes. Sorry I don't make the rules here, well I do but still
Believe it or not but he would hold the kid. Now would he ask to hold the? Eh, maybe but also I think he would be content just looking at them.
As the kid gets older it's sort of up in the air if he will actually like your child but if they just so happen to like animals, birds perhaps, then they might have something to bond over
This is a last minute thought but Jinho with a daddy's girl? It's a wild thought. I mean we don't exactly know his backstory yet but he's probably not 100% completely empty. Just look at what happened when shark boy died. And especially if he has an s/o. He'd would only feel a little something for her
Baek Seongjoon
Now why did i think of this hm?
Anyway, you know what would be a cute way to break you pregnancy to this man? You by little baby shoes and giving them to him. He'll be pretty confused about why the hell you gave him baby shoes but as it dawns on him you'll slowly see the look of surprise and shock come onto his face. You should really take a picture of it lol
Now after his backstory I can say in full confidence that he would love to have a family but most likely would not think that he deserves one after what happened to his parents. So sit sharkie down and explain to him that it's okay and you both can do it. That would totally make him feel so much better
Say goodbye to your alone time cause this man would coddle you. He's terrified to lose you and your kid because if that happens he will really have no one left. So please just let him 😭
These are turning out short for him but i genuinely think he would be mostly pleasant to be around like he would cook for you, rub your feet, and do pretty much whatever you want
The last month or so before you give birth don't expect to go anywhere or so anything. Even if your doctor doesn't put you on bedrest Seongjoon will. Literally the only thing he will let you up for is going to the bathroom. Poor boy is just so worried about you and the baby
He will stand by your side the whole time you're actively in labor unlike Jinho who might be snoozing on the couch tbh
Once he finally gets to hold your kid he has tears streaming down his face. I hc that having a family is something he desperately wants but never thought that it was attainable for him
Mellows out as the kid grows up but is still fiercely protective of them.
Since his father wasn't there for him, he swears that he will be there for the kid. He doesn't want another tragedy to happen
Overall, best father tbh. Genuinely cares about his kid and will spend time raising them. Lowkey will be jealous if they turn out to be a momma's boy cause he wants their attention too but look at him
It's always a game with 244. The poetry and calculation of chess, the danger and unpredictability of russian roulette.
He would bring the barrel of the gun to his temple, his fingers steady, his lips curved into a meaningless smile. Pull the trigger.
Click.
Nothing.
Your turn.
Little touches - could pass as unintentional, unimportant, but you know better. You do know better, don't you?
You wonder sometimes: what's the point? The purpose? Does he - do you - chase anything but slipping momentarily pleasure, the joy of the game? Is there ever something bigger at stake, something grand and lasting?
Who knows. You - you will know if you keep digging deeper. Perhaps you'll find your treasure. Perhaps you'll dig your own grave.
Hey how do you think 244 and seongjun would be with a asexual s/o like a s/o that is kinda sex repulsed and doesn't really want to have sex ever
Honestly, I don’t think 244 would care much. Jinho seems sort of hit or miss on affection in general and let’s not forget he’s a busy man so he won’t always have time for you. So this sounds bad but less work for him. I will say though I could definitely see Jinho as asexual himself so this arrangement would probably work out nicely for the both of you.
Now for Seongjoon I feel like he wouldn’t mind. He seems like a nice and understanding lover so if you are asexual he would respect that. Now, he might get frustrated every once in awhile but it would never be directed to you and he would never seek out release from other people.
