Fuckboy Seonghwa drabble
Who: Seonghwa (Ateez) x gn!reader
What: Genres/au - Smut/non-idol AU
WC: 500 words
Summary: just a short drabble about Seonghwa if he were a fuckboy
Nets: @mirohs-aurora-society @othersideoutlawsnetwork @newworldnet @cosyhomenet
There's also this one 👇🏽
i'm also tagging @solarhwa because i like messing with them lol
Everyone liked to think of Seonghwa as this untouchable man who gets what he wants at just the snap of his fingers. Boys want to either be him or fight him, professors always swoon over him, and every single girl wants to sleep with him. Every single week or two weeks, there’s always a different girl on his arm. He’d use his unique charm to sneak his way into the pants of anyone that basically breathes his way. He’s got it all! The only downside to his reputation is that whenever he hangs around a girl for far too long, they start to get attached. The more they become attached, the harder it is for Seonghwa to reject him. Despite his fuckboy tendencies, he has a soft heart. He swore he could hear the vital organ chip away every time words of rejection leave his pretty mouth. Then he’d have to go through the rollercoaster of said girl spewing some bullshit about how she felt a connection and that he’d regret his decision when time passes. It was annoying as hell, but what can he do? He is the way he is and nothing could change that.
Except you.
Long story short, you definitely weren’t like the other girls and Seonghwa found that not only challenging but intriguing as well. He was so used to girls falling at his feet fast that sometimes, he would struggle to form a coherent sentence without overthinking it. In the end though, you saw his efforts and decided to give him a chance. Even though there were obstacles standing in your way (i.e. past flings for the main part), your love for him and his love for you surpassed everything.
“Darling, touch yourself for me.”
You were currently facetiming him and it was slowly inching its way towards video chat sex. He was in a dimly lit car torturing you. He said that he was on his way to see you, but being the little shit that he is, he decided to park somewhere and proceed to do this. You were taken aback by what he requested. Usually, you were a good girl and obeyed his orders. However, you also decided to be a little shit by resorting to brattiness. You sassily said no and hung up on him. The giddiness you felt took over your entire body and you knew that he’d probably take away your ability to walk if you kept this up. Determined to receive the roughest sex of your life, you quickly changed into a specific lingerie set you knew he would like.
“Well then… isn’t this quite the surprise you had in store for me.”
While you were giggling and putting on a show for him, Seonghwa was seated in your desk chair, raking over your form with glazed and lustful eyes. He bit his bottom lip and chuckled darkly once you plopped yourself down onto his lap.
“Once I’m done with you, you’ll only remember my name.”

"And I don't wanna be the one you forget. So guess, say yes." - Lucky Daye
“This scenario is quite simple. You and Wooyoung are the top two students in an elite dance class. You have a typical rivalry. However, do not stray far from the path due to the simplicity of his domain. Instead, tread carefully.” - Maddox
---------------------------------------------------
“When the hell did you get a haircut and why are you pink?”
MITO laughed as you tilted your head curiously. He had gotten a new haircut, leaving you to mourn his long dark locks internally. Not only was his hair short, but it was also a rose coloured pink. He still looked good regardless. Matz and SanSang stared at his new hair in awe. As you entered the dance studio, you looked around and took in the vastness of the ceiling lights, the brick walls, and the huge mirrors plastered on one of those said brick walls. Students were strewn about in athletic clothing and were either stretching, hydrating, or gossiping. You went to your corner and set down your dufflebag before pulling out your sneakers. As you placed your slippers inside your bag, you felt a presence loom over you before taking its place next to you. An arm wrapped around your shoulders and pulled you closer. You turned your head to see your supposed rival with a cheeky grin on his face.
Jung Wooyoung.
You couldn’t find it in you to hate him so you mustered your best acting skills to at least give off a non-chalant vibe. You greeted him politely before turning your head so you could fetch your water bottle. You heard a quiet whine from behind you and the next thing you know, you were pulled back to him.
“Come on, Natasha! Talk to me~”
Wooyoung’s whines and noises of complaint were endearing to you. You didn’t understand why a lot of people here found it annoying. You’d rather have him be ‘annoying’ and light up the atmosphere with his cheerful energy than be in survival mode as you went about your day in dance class.
“Calm down, Woo. I’m just fetching my water bottle.”
“Ah! Ok then. That’s fine. The last thing I need is for a certain cutie to pass out from dehydration. It would make the rivalry a bit boring. Don’t you think?!”
“You’re weird.”
“But you love it~”
He pushed himself further into your personal space and smushed your cheeks together whilst keeping your body close to his. His veiny arms were wrapped tightly around your waist and you could smell the faint ocean scent from the cologne he spritzed on. He was really cute, but you couldn’t let him distract you from the mission. You pried his arms off of you so you could get up. You saw the pout on his face and rolled your eyes before extending your hand.
“Come on. We have to get to our spots before professor Hwang rips us a new one.”
With a dramatic sigh of defeat, Wooyoung took his hand in your hand and followed you closely behind.
---------------------------------------------------
“Jesus!”
Wooyoung laughed (well… more like cackled like a witch since his laugh was that high pitched) loudly as you collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. You did work out in your spare time, but running around at your bartending job proved to be enough exercise for you. Or so you thought. Wooyoung extended a hand towards you and you took it before being pulled up by him.
“Aww! Couldn’t keep up today?”
You smacked his hand away as he teased you. He then leaned in closer and whispered in your ear huskily.
“Or are you still a bit… sore? You know… from last night’s session?”
Oh. Right.
Maddox forgot to inform you that you and Wooyoung occasionally fucked when given the chance. You made a mental note to beat his ass later.
“Man, shut up.”
Wooyoung smirked mischieviously at your flustered expression before patting your head and skipping to the other side of the studio so he could retrieve his water bottle and hydrate. You sighed to yourself and wiped the sweat off your brow with a small towel before making the tragic mistake of glancing upwards.
Wooyoung was using his shirt to wipe the sweat off his brow, exposing his abs to everyone, including you.
“I see you like the view.”
You flinched as you heard professor Hwang’s voice in your ear. You turned your head to look at the practically bald and very young dance professor. He had a smirk on his face and you grew even more flustered.
What is it with this simulation and its affinity for fine ass men?
“Do you need something, professor?”
“Please. Call me Hyunjin.”
His voice then lowered to a dangerous tone.
“Let’s cut to the chase… Y/N.”
Shit…
“I am here to warn you.”
“Warn me? About what?”
Even though you were far from everyone else, especially Wooyoung, you lowered your voice just in case. Hyunjin let out a shaky breath as he looked around the room before getting closer to you so he could give you the warning.
“The virus is onto you. It knows that you freed four pirate kings so far and are in the process of freeing him. Be very careful.”
You gulped nervously before speaking.
“Are you protecting Wooyoung?”
“Technically yes and also no at the same time. I’m filling in for Seo Changbin. He’s the sole protector of Wooyoung. However, the virus found out and incapacitated him temporarily, leaving me to take over for now.”
“Incapacitate? How?”
Despite the calm tone in your voice, you couldn’t deny that you felt fear when Hyunjin told you about the virus. Hyunjin hesitated for a moment before speaking once again.
“Trust me. Even though Changbin’s ok and very much alive, you don’t want to know.”
You gulped nervously and looked at Wooyoung, who was chatting amongst his peers with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. You assumed that those peers were talking bad right in front of him, but you’d worry about that later. You looked back at Hyunjin and asked for more information.
“I can’t tell you much about the virus, but just know this. It’s a man. A man with sharp fox-like eyes. Similar to Wooyoung.”
You nodded and thanked Hyunjin for the bit of info before walking away from him so you could get Wooyoung away from his peers. It wasn’t much, but at least you had an idea and can clearly picture the virus’s face. You stepped in between Wooyoung and the bad mouthing peers with a glare on your face.
“I suggest you leave him alone. We’re not bothering you so why are you bothering him?”
“Ugh! Leave us alone, Natasha! It’s not like you like him either. You probably think he’s a nuisance, just like the rest of us.”
You felt Wooyoung flinch at the word ‘nuisance’ and you couldn’t control your anger anymore. The stress of the virus coming onto you was weighing you down and it didn’t help that these bitches were bad mouthing someone you considered a friend. You grabbed the collar of the girl’s shirt and pulled her forward so you were nose to nose with her.
“Listen here, ya snake. I don’t need this shit right now. If you don’t got something to say, then shut ya mouth.”
“Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about it, bitch?”
You chuckled lowly before shoving her back into her group of friends. You gathered your things and grabbed Wooyoung’s hand.
“Next time, consider keeping ya mouth shut. Or else I’ll clock your ass.”
You pulled Wooyoung out of the dance studio and marched off back to your apartment with him in tow. You were glad you lived close by. As you barged through the front door, you let go of him, threw your stuff on the couch, and paced back and forth in your fit of seething rage. Wooyoung kept his head down and you noticed it, suddenly feeling bad for your outburst. You also mentally cursed yourself for the way you spoke. It was the same way you spoke when you chewed out the bartender for not eying San’s drugged drink before serving it to him. You saw Wooyoung walk closer to you and the apologies start spilling from your mouth.
“Wooyoung, I’m sorry! I just… hate it when bitches bad mouth you for no reason. I consider you a good friend even though our rivalry stands in the way. If I fucked up in any way, just let me know and I’ll fix it right away -”
Wooyoung interrupted you by closing the distance and crashing his lips onto yours.
‘Am I supposed to kiss back?’
‘He’d probably be more upset if you don’t.’
‘Fuck it we ball’
You kissed him back, tangling your fingers in his long black hair while his hands gripped your waist tightly. The kiss was messy, desperate, and had a hint of passion and perhaps love in it. He walked you backwards and laid you down on the couch, his lips never leaving yours once. In the midst of this heated make out session, he slid off his shirt and cradled your face with one hand while the other held your own hand. He soon flipped you over so you were on top this time. You were straddling him and pulled away so you both could catch your breath. You let go of his hand and slid your palms down his body slowly, taking in every inch and curve of his chest and those abs that he flashed back in dance class. As soon as your fingers reached the hem of his gym shorts, you looked at him, silently asking for permission to remove them.
“Please…”
The breathiness of his plea was his answer and you swiftly removed them, eyes widening at the sight of his dick slapping against his stomach, the tip barely touching his abs.
‘Holy shit! He’s fucking thick!’
‘Not as thick as San’s though!’
‘It doesn’t matter! Ride it into the sunset!’
“Can I ride you, Woo?”
Wooyoung nodded and you quickly removed your own clothing, which consisted of a sports bra and yoga pants. After straddling him again, you grabbed the base of his cock and teasingly dragged the top along your folds, causing the man to whine. You didn’t waste anymore time. You needed to let out all the frustration you felt today. You slowly sank down onto his cock, hissing and moaning quietly upon feeling every inch enter you. Wooyoung was no better. He resisted heavily on simply grabbing you and slamming you down on his dick until he bottomed out. Once it was fully in, you took a minute to adjust to his size before slowly lifting your hips so only the tip remained inside. Then, you slammed yourself back down on it, causing loud moans to be elicited from the both of you.
“You feel so good! Mommy, please! Please keep going~”
The nickname ignited a fire within you and you adjusted yourself so your hands were on his shoulders and you could continue bouncing up and down on his cock. Every swipe of his tip against your g-spot had you moaning and whimpering louder and louder by the second.
“We really shouldn’t eavesdrop on this shit.”
“You guys eavesdropped on me when I fucked Y/N. What makes this any different?”
“Seonghwa, get your hand out of your pants!”
Hongjoong’s words fell deaf on Seonghwa’s ears as the eldest pirate king shamefully stroked himself whilst keeping his ear pressed to the door of your apartment. San was pinching the bridge of his nose while MITO strayed far away from the group, shouting someone’s name in the halls.
“YEOSANG, WHERE ARE YOU?! FUCK! COME ON, MAN!”
Yeosang heard the bounty hunter shout for him, but he held his breath. His face was pale, his fists were clenched, and he was visibly shaking. Behind him, a hooded figure pointed a dagger into his back.
“Not a single word…”
Yeosang gulped nervously as the figure circled itself around him. It looked him up and down before a snarl left its lips. It disappeared in a cloud of smoke and when it cleared, MITO approached him. Yeosang let out a cry of relief and threw himself into the tatted man’s arms.
“M-MITO…”
“Are you ok?”
Yeosang shook his head and MITO sighed in frustration before throwing a protective arm around his shoulders. Yeosang relaxed a bit, but he was still a bit shaken up. As the pair walked back to Matz and San, MITO couldn’t help but rack his brain on who spooked Yeosang like that.
“Fuck that was good!”
Wooyoung breathed out in satisfaction as you got off him and laid beside him. His arm was around you and he kissed the top of your head before looking down at you affectionately.
“It’s probably weird of me to say this since we just finished fucking, but… thanks for standing up for me earlier. Even though your accent was weird, I can’t deny that it’s sexy.”
You blushed at his compliment and giggled when he started peppering kisses all over your face.
“I’ll be right back. I need to fetch some clothes for us.”
Wooyoung whined but reluctantly let you go so you could retrieve a fresh set of clothing for both you and him. When you entered your room, you felt a slight chill in the air yet you ignored it, thinking it was just a draft and you left the windows open by accident. After putting on a shirt and sweats, you rummaged through your wardrobe to find something for Wooyoung.
“I see you had fun with him.”
You flinched at the sound of a strange voice and turned around to see a hooded figure staring you down. Hyunjin was next to the figure, battered and bruised. He had a dagger to his throat and your eyes widened upon seeing the sight. You opened your mouth to call for Wooyoung, but the figure interrupted you.
“Scream for him and he dies.”
You closed your mouth and glared at the figure instead. You had a feeling on who it was, but you had to ask just in case the simulation was playing tricks on you.
“You’re the virus. The one that corrupted the simulation. Am I right?”
The figure laughed wickedly and shoved Hyunjin to the side before approaching you slowly. You watched Hyunjin fall onto your bed before returning your eyes to the figure. It circled you and looked you up and down before stopping in front of you once more. A gloved hand reached out and touched your chin before lifting your head so you could properly stare at it. A shiver went down your spine as you vaguely felt the touch to be familiar.
“Go ahead. Pull down the hood. See the face behind the virus.”
You shakily reached your hand out and let your fingertips touch the hem of the hood, afraid it might just be tricking you and will kill you right on the spot. When you looked down to see the dagger remaining unmoved, you fully grasped the hood and counted to three before yanking it back.
You wanted to vomit after seeing his face.
“YOU?!”
“Hey, my jasmine.”
Out of all the possibilities of who the virus might be, he was the last person on your mind. Hyunjin’s words rang in your ears and you felt a pit forming in your stomach.
‘Sharp fox-like eyes. Similar to Wooyoung.’
You might regret it, but you had to make sure that it wasn’t a nightmare come true. The same hand that yanked the hood back slightly cupped his cheek. Your knees almost gave out when he leaned into your touch easily. You retracted your hand, feeling disgusted as you stared the man down.
“You’re the virus, Dabin?!”
He laughed wickedly as he sheathed the dagger and caged you in between his arms. That laugh was once music to your ears. Now? It was something you needed to cleanse your ears of. You noticed the black veins protruding from his neck and saw his eyes glow green briefly before reverting back to its familiar brown color.
“So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?”
“Hey! Asshole!”
The two of you looked over to see Wooyoung wide awake and fully clothed. But he looked different. He was wearing an all black fit with the sleeves rolled up, a white shirt underneath the jacket with a hug opening around the collar and the sleeves rolled up as well, and a silver chain dangling off his neck and glinting in the moonlight. The eyeliner made the sharpness of his eyes looking more alluring and the thorny rose tattoo on his left forearm was revealed. What caught your eye though was his hair. The long strands of his black hair weren’t there anymore. Instead, it was short and a fiery shade of red.
“When I tell you to run, run.”
Dabin grew annoyed and turned to face Wooyoung, dagger at the ready. Before he could strike, Hyunjin grabbed his arms from behind and Wooyoung pried the dagger from his gloved hands.
“RUN!”
You sprinted out of the room, hearing the struggle between the three men. You threw the door open and your face rammed into a hard chest. You looked up to see a bewildered MITO staring down at you.
“Love, what’s going -”
“No talk! We’ve been compromised! The virus found us, but Wooyoung is awake! We got to go! NOW!”
You sprinted past MITO, who quickly ran behind you. Matz and SanSang saw you running. They didn’t ask you what was going on. Instead, they ran alongside you, shielding you as best as they could from any possible danger that loomed over their heads. Your lungs burned and your legs ached yet you didn’t stop until you fully evaded the danger that was your ex-husband, aka the virus.
“The door’s right there!”
You saw Wooyoung running alongside you and the short relief of seeing him again gave you the energy boost you need to reach the door. You swung it open and ran through, accidentally tripping in the process. A groan left your lips as the door closed behind you and you felt two pairs of hands lift you up by your arms. You looked around to see if everyone was present. MITO was there.
So was Hongjoong
Seonghwa
Yeosang
San
And…
“Wooyoung!”
You threw your arms around him and let out a sob of relief while Wooyoung, albeit out of breath and a bit disoriented from waking up from the simulation, hugged you back. He let go and kissed your forehead before turning to the bounty hunter and his fellow pirate kings.
“SANGIE! SANNIE!”
An excited squeal escaped Wooyoung as he hugged his best friend and his soulmate. He then hugged the captain and the first mate before turning towards the bounty hunter and hugging him as well.
“How long was I out?”
“Far too long. Luckily, Y/N here saved you.”
Wooyoung turned to you and grinned when he saw you shyly wave at him. He pulled you into a hug and repeatedly kissed your cheek, expressing his gratitude in between each kiss. He was soon dragged away by Yeosang and immediately latched onto him. While he was distracted by his best friend, MITO approached you.
“Hey. You ok?”
“No…”
“I know the virus seems scary, but I promise you that we’ll protect you -”
“I know him.”
All five of the pirate kings swiveled their heads towards you while MITO furrowed his brows in confusion. You sighed shakily and tried your best to explain everything without stuttering.
“Before you ask, I honestly didn’t know that he was the virus. I simply just know him as my ex-husband. It was an arranged marriage yet we fell in love a few weeks later. One day, he disappeared out of nowhere. Witness statements claim that they saw him go into the woods and a bright red light shone over him before disappearing. Then poof! He was gone. I assumed he ran away with his mistress and I signed the divorce papers. His parents thought the same thing and signed the papers for him.”
A tear fell down your face and all six men felt their hearts ache for you.
“Now that I know that he’s behind all this, I… don’t know what I should do.”
Hongjoong approached you and placed a hand on your shoulder, wiping the tear away from your face.
“The most we can do for now is rescue the last three members of our crew. We will figure it out together.”
With a final nod, you followed them closely behind.
“Who’s next?”

“He looks busted.” Hongjoong said and Seonghwa nodded in agreement with him.
“Can you blame him? He’s probably been through hell and back when Sopro corrupted him.” Yeosang argued gently.
“Speaking of which, what’s going to happen if we rescue Y/N’s… ex-husband from Sopro? Like where will we go from there?” San asked.
“I’ll take care of Sopro.” Wooyoung volunteered.
A mini argument soon broke out between San and Wooyoung and Yeosang was trying hard to resolve the issue. The last thing they needed was a petty fight ruining their plans. Matz had to step in while that was happening. In another corner of the ship, you were fighting for your life. Even though Jongho, your boyfriend, made it abundantly clear that you were taken, he was allowing Mingi to flirt with you and make you feel all flustered and whatnot. Perhaps there was some agreement they made while you were chatting with Yunho. Or perhaps it was something else. Either way, you were trying so hard not to melt from the breathy and deep voices going back and forth as the two men flirted with you.
“Look at Y/N, Jjong. So cute when they’re squirming like that. Are you that flustered just by my voice alone, baby?” Mingi practically purred in your ear.
“I agree. And trust me, Mingi. Once you get your hands on Y/N behind closed doors, they’ll certainly be done for.” Jongho chuckled smoothly as he leaned in closer to you.
“Can you two leave me alone?!” You fought back meekly. Truth be told, you were living for the fact that two hot men such as your current boyfriend and the best friend of your ex were making you feel this way. You just didn’t want to give them the satisfaction that they were getting to you.
“Wow. I didn’t think those two would work together to be such menaces towards Y/N. Should I do something about it?” MITO stated in a half amused & half concerned voice. Yunho, who was watching the ordeal unfold with 100% amusement, shook his head.
“Nah. She’ll be alright. Help me break up the fight between San and Wooyoung.”
MITO nodded and walked with Yunho towards the duo that were split apart by the other three men. Yunho threw Wooyoung over his shoulder while MITO blocked San’s view so the mountain of a man wouldn’t be able to see him anymore. Matz and Yeosang sighed out of relief and looked at each other.
“I’d give it at least three hours tops before Wooyoung comes crawling to San, apologizing about this whole mess.” Hongjoong wagered.
“Three hours? More like three minutes. Three seconds is pushing it so I’ll stick with minutes.” Seonghwa countered.
“I also say three hours, but knowing Wooyoung and his petty hater nature, San will be the one crawling to him and apologizing for this whole mess.” Yeosang proposed and both men nodded before shaking each other’s hands and giggling to themselves.
“I’M FREE!”
Matz and Yeosang heard you shout as they saw you bolting towards them. You hid behind Hongjoong specifically since you knew that he’d help you out due to his captain status. Mingi and Jongho casually strolled up to the trio and raised an eyebrow at you poorly attempting to shield yourself from them. Hongjoong looked back and forth between you guys and an evil idea popped in his head.
“Gentlemen! Are you looking for Y/N? If so, here you go.”
Hongjoong pulled you out of your hiding spot and gently shoved you towards them. Jongho wrapped his strong arms around your waist while Mingi chuckled deeply. Seonghwa and Yeosang felt bad for you since they knew how these two could get yet at the same time, they couldn’t help but be amused by this whole situation.
“How long until we reach that abandoned bank, captain?”
“I’d say about 30 minutes, but we’re not in a rush. I felt like taking the scenic route today.”
“Y’ALL ARE SAILING IN THE SKY!”
Hongjoong pretended to ignore your protest and giggled quietly to himself as Mingi nodded in acknowledgement of this information given to him.
“Ok that’s good. We aren’t done with Y/N yet, but if you do need them, you know where to find us.”
“Noted. Have fun, you two~”
“SEE THIS IS WHY YOU BUILT LIKE A MINION, YOU BACKSTABBER!”
MITO, Seonghwa, Yunho, and Yeosang busted out laughing while Hongjoong’s face grew red in embarrassment by your comment. You were soon dragged away by Mingi and Jongho and you would remain with them until you guys reached your destination.
---------------------------------------------------
“I don’t like you right now.”
“Oh come on, honey! Surely you can’t give me the silent treatment forever, right?”
“You know we make you feel good, babe.”
You grumbled in annoyance as Jongho laughed at your current form. Even though he was behind you, he knew you were crossing your arms and frowning slightly from the never-ending teasing they delivered unto you. When he heard you huff out in slight anger, that’s when he knew it was enough. Jongho sighed and approached you slowly, wrapping his arms around your waist once more and placing his chin atop your head. You relaxed under his touch yet you remained on guard. Jongho kissed your temple and lowered his head to talk quietly into your ear.
“Ok look. I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t think you’d be this annoyed. We’ll stop, alright? I don’t want the love of my life to be angry with me forever. I already had to live through that once. I don’t want to experience that ever again.”
You softened up upon hearing Jongho’s sincerity and you angled your head so you could kiss his cheek. Mingi watched you two and found the sight endearing. He grabbed your hand gingerly and kissed the back of it.
“I agree with Jjong here. We kind of took it too far so we’ll stop for now. We good now, mami?”
Out of all the petnames you’ve heard, this one took you by surprise. Mix the pet name with his soft baritone voice and you found yourself a whole new type of flustered. Not trusting your voice, you simply nodded and Mingi smiled softly before leaning in to kiss your cheek.
“L-Let’s just proceed with the rescue.” You murmured quietly and both men nodded before the three of you caught up with the rest of the group. You looked up at the entrance of the abandoned bank and sighed to yourself. If your ex-husband was truly trapped inside there, you would try your mightiest to make sure he is rescued and out of there safe and sound. Even though you no longer felt the love you once had for him, you still cared for him as a friend.
“Let’s do this…”
---------------------------------------------------
“SO NO ONE CARED TO WARN ME ABOUT THESE BIG… THINGS CHASING US?!”
All eight pirates and MITO shouted their apologies as the 10 of you sprinted for your lives. The rescue mission was a success and the recovery of the red Sopro jewel was also a success. However, none of you were aware that by robbing both things, it would trigger an alarm. To be fair, Hongjoong had the blueprint of the building’s schematics in hand and Yeosang confirmed that there was nothing worth hacking so all of you assumed it would be easy. Looks like this Z guy was smarter than you made him out to be based on what you’ve been told by the pirate kings.
“LOOK OUT!”
Alongside the android guardians (that’s what the huge white manly lookly humanoids with silver spiked chain masks were called) chasing you down, falling debris was another obstacle amongst all of you. You were impressed by everyone’s agility, especially since one of the pirates had to carry your unconscious ex-husband in his arms.
Spoiler alert: It was Mingi carrying him.
You saw the faint outline of the ship coming into view and temporary relief washed over you. This gives you more adrenaline and energy to run even faster. As you neared the ship, you saw Seonghwa reach into his pocket and extend his arm to press a button on a black fob with an A on the back of it. The ship came to life and the ramp descended so you could climb aboard. As soon as all 11 of you hit the deck, the ramp disappeared and it ascended into the sky quickly. Below you, you heard the distorted and robotic voices of the android guardians admitting defeat.
“He’s waking up!”
“Give him some space!”
The eight pirates backed up, leaving only you and MITO to tend to Dabin. He didn’t have the black veins like in the simulation, but he looked paler in real life. There were no visible injuries on him, but the sight of the half moons under his eyes tore your heart into two.
How long was Sopro torturing him like this?
“Dabin? Hey. It’s me. Y/N.”
When he heard your soft voice for what seems like the first time in forever, he lunged forward and crushed you in a hug, sobs racking his entire body as he held onto you for dear life. While the rest of the pirates sympathized with him, Mingi and Jongho looked at the exchange with one question on their mind.
How will Y/N break the news of the divorce to Dabin?
You helped Dabin stand up and let him take a minute to breathe in some fresh air before introducing him to his saviours one by one. You saved Mingi and Jongho for last knowing that you had some explaining to do. Deep down, you prayed he understood. When the crew dispersed to busy themselves with whatever tasks were available, you took this opportunity to take Dabin and Jongho into a separate room so you could break down everything that happened. Mingi wanted to go with you, but he decided against it since he didn’t want to overwhelm his cousin.
“Dabin, what I’m about to tell you is going to be bizarre. Please bear with me.”
---------------------------------------------------
Awkward silence.
That’s how it was for the next few minutes or so. Suddenly, Dabin spoke up.
“I should be mad, but… I can’t find it in myself to do so. I guess I feel more… guilty in a sense. I disappeared on you for a while, he swoops in, you two fall in love, and the next time you see me, I’m this gross monster that you’ve probably seen from Outlast or Until Dawn or something.”
Despite the grim setting of the situation the three of you are in, you giggled lightly at Dabin’s comedic timing. He knew just the right thing to say in order to bring some light to this situation. Jongho couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief. He was expecting only one outcome of this whole discussion.
He was definitely not expecting this.
“All I can say is… I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I left you alone all this time and with an assumption I never wanted ingrained in your brain. You know me, Y/N. I’m loyal until I truly fall out of love. To be honest, I’m still in love with you.”
Both you and Jongho expected that.
“However, I can see it in your eyes, Y/N. You care for me, but you love him. And I’m not going to be that dude that keeps his partner away from someone they love just to satiate my happiness. Will it hurt seeing my… I guess ex-wife with another man? Yeah. But is letting you go worth seeing the bright smile on your face? Yes. Absolutely.”
Your eyes welled up with tears upon hearing the touching words Dabin spoke out of his heart of gold. You hoped that one day, someone will be able to return that same love to him. You surged forward and hugged Dabin tightly. Dabin returned your embrace equally as tight before letting go. He turned to Jongho and grinned.
“I’ll spare you that stupid lecture since I know for a fact that you’ll take care of Y/N well. However, I will say this. If you do mess up, I won’t hesitate to swoop in and take her back.”
Jongho respected how forward Dabin is and he took this as a challenge to always make sure that you are happy and loved. They shook hands firmly before letting go. A knock on the door sounded and all of you turned to see Wooyoung’s head pop in.
“We’re almost at Dabin’s place. Have you said your final goodbyes?”
The three of you nodded.
“Great! Grab something to eat in the meantime so you won’t feel hungry by the time we land.”
Linking arms with your ex-husband and your boyfriend, the three of you went into the galley to feast on some of Wooyoung’s finest dishes.
---------------------------------------------------
“Will you be ok with these guys?”
You nodded firmly as you approached the entrance to Dabin’s house. He decided that for the time being, he’ll stay with his parents while you sail with the pirate kings. He was worried that this intense pirate life would be too much for you, but you insisted that you’ll be ok. He hugged you one last time before watching you walk back to the ship. As it ascended into the sky, he waved goodbye before heading inside his house. Aboard the deck, you were looking out into the distance, caged in between Jongho’s arms. Your hand was holding Mingi’s hand and you sighed in content.
“Thank you for joining our cause, honey.” Jongho said to you softly and gratefully.
“You’ll make a great addition to our team, babe. Trust me.” Mingi added.
“Your mission is something I now take to heart.” You stated to both of them as you looked at the clouds soaring above you.
“After all…
We have to break the wall.”
Yeosang, the Jack of Diamonds

What: Angst in the first half, fluff in the last half/Once Upon A Time AU
WC: 500 words
Summary: a headcanon based off an old mini series I wrote a while back
Nets: @mirohs-aurora-society @othersideoutlawsnetwork @illusionnet @newworldnet @cosyhomenet
Kang Yeosang was nothing more than an average citizen of Wonderland trying to avoid the watchful eyes of Cora Mills, the old Queen of Hearts. However, after her death in Storybrooke, his life had changed for the better.
citizen!Yeosang, who jokingly put in his submission to be one of the four jacks (the Wonderland term for prince) when the campaign started.
citizen!Yeosang, who never thought that his application would be submitted and accepted.
citizen!Yeosang, who stood as still as a statue when the Wonderland citizens elected him to become a jack.
citizen!Yeosang, whose eyes become wider when he realizes that he will not only become a jack, he will become the Jack of Diamonds.
From an ordinary citizen to the four jacks of Wonderland, Kang Yeosang’s life trajected towards a completely different path.
jack!Yeosang, who didn’t know absolutely anything about being a royal subject, let alone a jack.
jack!Yeosang, who was frightened, intimidated, and overwhelmed by everything in this huge diamond-coated castle. It also didn’t help that his supposed royal assistants would tell him different things.
“Do it like this!”
“Don’t listen to that idiot! This is the proper way!”
“Your highness, your hair is… down. You look like a peasant.”
jack!Yeosang, who wanted nothing more than to quit. To revoke his candidacy. To cry.
jack!Yeosang, who yelled at everyone angrily for the first time in his entire life. He hasn’t been angry or frustrated before so lashing out was completely new to him.
jack!Yeosang, who saw the surprised looks on his subjects’ faces when they were on the short end of the stick of his lash out.
jack!Yeosang, who apologized profusely and ran away from everyone without hearing what they had to say.
jack!Yeosang, who spent hours crying in his room and wallowing in self-pity and regret.
jack!Yeosang, who felt a hand rub his back soothingly as a presence sat down next to him.
“Hey. It’s ok, Yeosang. I’m here.”
jack!Yeosang, who threw his arms around the newly crowned Queen of Diamonds. One of his good friends. Park Seonghwa.
jack!Yeosang, who vented to queen!Seonghwa about everything. And I do mean everything.
jack!Yeosang, who listened to every piece of advice that queen!Seonghwa gave him since he knew everything about being royalty due to his lineage having royal blood.
jack!Yeosang, who slowly but surely became the Jack of Diamonds that Wonderland needed.
jack!Yeosang, who felt extremely proud of himself when he finally got the hang of it.
jack!Yeosang, who toasted alongside queen!Seonghwa and the newly minted kings & jacks when they celebrated the clean image that Wonderland now presents in the kingdom.
jack!Yeosang, whose heart was beating out of his chest when he first met you.
jack!Yeosang, who was somehow ok with you choosing Mingi & Jongho instead of him. After all, their personalities drew you in.
jack!Yeosang, who was glad you chose to stay in Wonderland.

"And it's always two rights. Playing games with our hands tied. Who else can I confide in? Don't wanna win a war tryna fight, and yeah, you got it... Could you blame me?" - Lucky Daye
“I’ve just been informed that the virus is onto you guys. There is no scenario this time. Find him as soon as possible. Before it’s too late.” - Maddox
---------------------------------------------------
“Girl, you never told me you were married!”
“Considering that half our life was spent ignoring each other -”
“More like you were avoiding me.”
“AS I WAS SAYING!”
Yunho meekly apologized and you waved it off non-chalantly.
“Considering that half our life was spent ignoring each other, I figured that you wouldn’t need to know. But yeah. I was married. It was arranged. We didn’t like each other, but we also didn’t hate each other. We were just estranged roommates.”
“With the same last name.”
“Yeah pretty much. Anyways, we essentially got acquainted with one another. We had similar interests, like our love for Genshin Impact. He’s a Furina main while I’m a Navia main.”
“I have no idea who those characters are, but the game sounds interesting.”
“I’ll show it to you sometime.”
“Thanks! Oh wait. Sorry for interrupting you.”
“It’s ok. So yeah. From there, our bond went beyond that game and we slowly became friends. Soon, that friendship turned into something more and well… we fell in love. Until that inopportune day.”
“His disappearance…”
Yunho searched for any signs of discomfort that you were showing, but there seemed to be none as you continued.
“Yeah… I figured that shitty ex-girlfriend of his finally succeeding in getting into his head and convinced him to run away with her. Both his parents and I hated her so much that we were astonished to find this out. They apologized to me and even signed the divorce papers for him on his behalf. Little did they know…”
“He actually did disappear. Didn’t you mention something about a red light shining brightly for a brief moment before disappearing just as quickly?”
“Yeah. According to the police, 95% of the witness statements claimed to see him peer at a red light before disappearing into thin air. Even his dumb ex had an alibi that same night. She never once tried to contact him after he established his relationship with me. The alibi checked out.”
“His parents never knew?”
“I figured they’d already have enough on their plate with their ‘disgrace’ of a son. Their words, not mine. Plus, even if I told them, they’d just assume his ex kidnapped him.”
“True.”
Yunho then heard you exhale shakily and he brought you into a hug. Despite the awkward restart of your friendship, you missed the warm feeling he gave whenever he wrapped his arms around you. They brought back that familiar comfort you longed for. He pulled away a bit and looked down at you with a reassuring expression on his face.
“Whatever happens, we will find out what happened to him and if we’re able to, we’ll rescue him. I know you don’t technically want to be around him anymore, but -”
“I owe him this. After all, his disappearance wasn’t his fault.”
Yunho nodded before giving way to you so you could walk up to the door and enter the second to last domain. With a determined stance, you grabbed the handle and pushed open the door, awaiting the hell that laid before you.
---------------------------------------------------
“IT’S A DAMN WARZONE OUT HERE!”
“WHY WOULD THAT VIRUS PLACE HIM IN HERE?!”
“IT DOESN’T MATTER! MITO & I WILL COVER FOR YOU GUYS! SPREAD OUT AND FIND SONG MINGI!”
“YES, CAPTAIN!”
You didn’t know when and how they conjured weapons, but you didn’t care. You and the rest of the pirate kings split up. Seonghwa was with Yeosang, San was with Wooyoung, and you were with Yunho. The thick groves of the tree leaves provided you cover from the rain of bullets cascading down upon you every few seconds, but it also provided you with little lighting so you had no choice but to adjust your vision to the semi-darkness the woods provided you. Yunho held your hand tightly so you wouldn’t lose each other. He pointed the flashlight in every direction he possibly could in case any enemies decided to pull surprise attacks on you. He looked back at you every once in a while to see if you were still behind him.
You were.
“We’re never going to be able to find him!”
“Relax, Y/N. I know Mingi. He may be a timid princess, but he’s strong. Trust me.”
You were about to comment on that nickname for Mingi when you heard a rustle. You flinched and pointed your own flashlight around, barely seeing what looked like a tattered ashen gray cloak pass by. A snap of a twig echoed throughout the vast emptiness of the woods and it nearly drowned out the heavy gunfire heard in the distance.
“Yunho?”
A deep gravelly voice said Yunho’s name aloud and Yunho stiffened as a figure stood in front of him. He was equally as tall as him and his shoulders were just as broad as San’s. You hid behind Yunho yet poked your head out just a bit to see what was going on. The figure then drew back his hood slowly, revealing the face of Yunho’s best friend.
Song Mingi.
Even though he was awake, his appearance looked different. Aside from the ashen gray cloak that covered his body heavily, he had black hair, a cut on his cheek, and a cut on his lip. His sharp wolf eyes immediately softened when he realized that he wasn’t hallucinating.
His best friend was right in front of him. In the flesh.
“Mingi…”
The tall towers developed themselves into a bone crushing hug. Mingi was sobbing softly out of relief while Yunho shushed him and reassured him that everything is ok now and that he is here. The simulation isn’t playing tricks on him. They let go and Mingi’s eyes fell towards you. The toothy eye smile that was once on his face slowly faded away and his eyes widened upon seeing you.
“Y/N…?”
“Um… hey, Mingi.”
Mingi stomped past Yunho and assessed you quickly before hugging you as well. Since you were smaller than him, his entire frame swallowed you whole. You hugged him back awkwardly and Mingi chuckled quietly before pulling away.
“Come on now, baby girl. What are you acting shy for?”
You blushed heavily and felt flustered at the way he smoothly flirted with you. Before you could comment though, he mentally smacked his forehead.
“Shit I forgot. You’re married to my cousin. My bad.”
This is where things started to go sideways.
Yunho, who was watching your interaction, put two and two together and he felt his blood boil. Song Mingi, his best friend, is a blood relative of Hong Dabin, your ex-husband and the virus corrupting the simulation. He tried his best to calm down, but the weight of betrayal hung on his shoulders. He knew all this time that you were married.
And never once told him!
“You son of a bitch!”
Mingi was confused by Yunho’s angered exclamation and his eyes widened at the sight of his fist connecting his face painfully. You gasped as Mingi crumpled to the ground and Yunho got on top of him so he could continue to roughhouse him. You tried to separate them, but due to the size difference, your efforts were in vain.
“YOU KNEW ALL ALONG AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO WITHHOLD THE TRUTH?!”
“KNEW WHAT?! YUNHO, WHAT THE HELL?! I’VE BEEN OUT HERE FOR DAYS AND WHEN I FINALLY REUNITE WITH YOU, YOU DO THIS SHIT? THE FUCK, DUDE?!”
“DON’T PLAY COY WITH ME, BASTARD!”
“ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU!”
Yunho and Mingi turned their heads towards you and their anger simmered down once they saw the cascade of hot tears streaming down your face. You marched towards them and pulled them apart before jabbing a finger into both their chests.
“If you continue to act like children, I won’t hesitate to put my foot far up both your asses! Cease this immediately! We are stranded in the middle of nowhere and we are still in danger! So please! Let’s find shelter first before you can continue your petty cat fight.”
Not wanting to risk angering you any further, Yunho sighed deeply and hung his head in defeat while Mingi got up and groaned in pain. He was sure a bruise would swell up underneath his jaw. With gritted teeth, he led the way to a hut he’s been staying in ever since he woke up from the simulation and tried to find a way out. Once the three of you were inside, you didn’t let them rest. You dragged both of them by the ears and sat them down on the sofa before standing before them with a scowl on your face and your arms crossed.
“Care to explain why you suddenly did a 180 on your friend here, Jeong?”
“Are you seriously on his side right now?”
“I am on no one’s side! DON’T GIVE ME ATTITUDE!”
Yunho muttered an apology before hanging his head low in shame. Mingi looked back and forth between you two before also connecting two and two together. He looked at Yunho again and his voice softened.
“So she was the girl whom you placed a bet on and broke her heart in such a douchey way.”
“Gee thanks, Min. You certainly had to rub salt into that old wound.”
“Bro, can you blame me? I’m literally just as shocked as you are. Your ex girlfriend and former best friend is the same woman that my cousin fucking married. I didn’t attend the wedding so how would I know? Besides, it was an arranged marriage. Why the fuck would Dabin talk about her?”
Mingi sighed as Yunho stayed silent. He continued nonetheless.
“Had I known, I honestly would’ve tried my best to get you to reconcile with her. However, knowing how she is, according to Dabin, I also would’ve tried to make sure you stayed far away from her.”
“Mingi…”
“Yunho, be for fucking real right now. What woman in their right mind would forgive a man that played with her heart carelessly? All for some damn cash as well!”
“I needed a confidence boost -”
“It doesn’t fucking matter, dude! You gave her all of her firsts and then she had to find out the hard way that it was all a lie! Hell if I were in her shoes, I’d block all your calls, restrict every single aspect of social media you had me on, and probably move! Yunho, I love you, but what you did was fucked. And the fact that I’m knowing all of this now…”
Mingi sighed deeply as he buried his face in his hands momentarily before lifting his head to continue speaking.
“You know me. In times like these, I’d rather call you out on your bullshit over not being called at all. I’d rather hold my grudges and act like grown ass adults. After all, who else can I confide in other than my best friend? Right now though… I don’t know.”
Mingi looked at Yunho warily, undecided on how he should go about his friendship with him. You couldn’t stand it. All you wanted was for Yunho to explain himself, not witness the impending end of a friendship. You weren’t about to put Mingi through that, especially since Yunho definitely needed someone right now. You uncrossed your arms, rolled your shoulders back, and looked at Mingi.
“I don’t know if it’ll make a difference, but Yunho’s domain in this corrupted simulation was him reliving a nightmare. That nightmare contained every detail of that painful moment where I broke off everything with him. Before you ask why I’m defending him, I was there to witness it all. How he looked so broken every time I, quote on quote, left him stranded after cursing him out. Yes I was hurting, but not as much as he was. I don’t know how Dabin tapped into his memory and brought it to life, especially since I never told him. But he did, and Yunho suffered a lot. He already dealt with the karma of it all. So please. Don’t make it worse.”
Mingi’s mouth was a straight line as he contemplated your words. If you willingly defended Yunho, that must mean you’d forgiven him of his sins and are willing to start your friendship anew with him. He was going to comment on why you had to speak for his friend, but he figured that Yunho was reliving his shame all over again and his guilt impacted him horribly. Silently, he scooched closer to Yunho and hugged him tightly. This resulted in Yunho breaking down in his friend’s arms and sputtering out so many apologies. You sat on the other side and hugged Yunho from behind. Mingi kissed the top of Yunho’s head gently before speaking.
“I’m sorry, man. I honestly didn’t know how bad it was for you. Forgive me for my harsh words.”
“It’s fine, Mingi. Your words held true despite them being harsh.”
“Still though. I shouldn’t have said all that.”
Yunho looked up and weakly grinned before wrapping his arms around both Mingi and you.
“Wait… how the hell did Dabin know about Yunho’s memory when you’ve never told him?”
You winced and explained everything to Mingi. From him being the virus to your divorce and his disappearance, the puzzle pieces started to fall into place. When you mentioned the witness statements and their claims on seeing a bright red light, Mingi’s eyes went wide and his face paled.
“Dude… fucking Sopro got to him.”
“Shit! I had a feeling, but I wanted to be wrong for once.”
“What’s Sopro…?”
The tall pirate kings looked at your confused expression and they both laughed sheepishly.
“It’s hard to explain. But to briefly break it down, it was our mission. We’d finally gotten a hold of Sopro, but before we could grab it and turn back time using the Cromer, Dabin fell into the picture. Due to the fragility of his mind, he was corrupted. Hence, how he became the virus. Hongjoong will explain everything in detail once we reunite with him.”
“You’re damn right I will. But first, I oughtta reprimand you dumbasses for almost killing each other. We are eight! And eight makes what?!”
You flinched and saw Hongjoong standing there with a glare on his face as Yunho and Mingi answered his question with shame.
“One team.”
“Correct. Eight makes one team! Not seven or six! Eight! Now get your asses here! We need to go to the last domain. Dabin may not be on our asses right now, but the longer we loiter, the more likely we’ll get caught.”
With that, all of you exited the domain and stood in the void. You looked at Mingi to see if his appearance changed.
It did. Deliciously.
What caught your eye however?
Mingi’s black hair was shortened and the color was the same bright shade of red as Seonghwa and San. He also had an undercut. In addition, he had an all black fit consisting of a vest, slacks, leather boots, leather gloves, and a huge black fur lining on his black trench coat.
The fact that he wasn’t wearing a shirt underneath his vest. The only other thing you could find on his body were multiple silver chain necklaces decorating his neck.
If he took off his coat, you’d find that the vest was a wee bit small on him, exposing a sliver of his slim waist and his lean biceps.
The fact that the vest had a deep plunge that exposed his cleavage was dizzying.
“You want it?”
You didn’t know how Mingi ended up being close to you, but when you heard his deep voice whisper huskily in your ear, you flinched and hid behind an unimpressed MITO so he wouldn’t see how flustered you became because of him. Wooyoung sighed and approached you while Mingi was dragged away by Matz.
“Come on, doll. I’ll explain everything you need to know about Sopro while we save our youngest crewmate.”
Feeling relieved that you will finally get some answers, you walked alongside Wooyoung and listened to everything he told you as you made your way to the last domain of the simulation.
Let’s hope Dabin didn’t get to him.
Yeosang as Yumemizuki Mizuki
Who: Kang Yeosang (Ateez) [no pairing]
What: Fluff/Genshin Impact AU
WC: 500 words
Summary: A headcanon that features an Ateez member as a Genshin Impact character of my choosing
Nets: @mirohs-aurora-society @othersideoutlawsnetwork @illusionnet @newworldnet @cosyhomenet
Credits to @yourfatherlucifer for the banner 💞
Yumemizuki Mizuki is a catalyst user with an anemo vision. Anemo is the air element in Genshin. She is friends with everyone in Inazuma due to her job as a clinical psychologist in Aisa Bathhouse. Aisa Bathhouse is the main yet most popular hot spring spot in Inazuma. After giving it some deep thought and having a discussion with one of my moots, I figured out who in Ateez would fit the closest to Mizuki and the answer is interesting yet the most logical at the same time.
Kang Yeosang.
The main reason why I put these two together is, again, interesing yet the most logical. If you’re an atiny Genshin player, you’ll understand. If not, allow me to explain. As a yumekui-baku, a Japanese demon that feasts on bad dreams, her sessions are different. Along with her soothing voice and gentle nature, she also utilizes her abilities to make sure that the stress and nightmares of a person are taken away so they can finally relax. I feel like in another life, Yeosang would be a clinical psychologist or some type of therapist that people can trust easily and depend on for getting rid of their stress. His own gentle nature and soothing voice would lull the person into a sense of comfort and he would listen tentatively to that person’s conflicts before offering some advice on how to process their problems and overcome them.
Now you understand why I chose him for her? Great!
One of Mizuki’s lines when you unleash her burst is “Bad dreams, begone!” As you unleash her burst, you’ll see Yachan & Techan spring forward and set up the swirl effect. If you have an electro DPS like Yae Miko, a hydro DPS like Neuvilette (another catalyst user) or Xingqiu (a sword user), a pyro DPS like Arlecchino (a polearm user), or a cryo DPS like Kaeya (another sword user) on your team, then Mizuki’s swirl effect will be even better.
Before anyone clocks me, I’ll have you know that the characters I mentioned above were the only DPS characters I could think of off the top of my head. In addition, I have all these characters in my character archive (minus Yae Miko) and have used them in my own team at one point.
Well… I’ve used Xingqiu, Arlecchino, & Kaeya. I haven’t used Neuvilette due to mid talents and poor artifacts.
OK MOVING ON!
Mizuki’s elemental skill is jumping into the air with clouds swirling around her as she’s holding a tray with an empty cup & sealed milk bottle. She also says, “Turn that frown upside down!” With her skill, she can utilize the swirl effect by floating towards an enemy with either electro, hydro, pyro, or cryo applied to them and spreading it towards the other enemies. I can imagine the enemy being so confused when there’s a large man with a smile on his face saying Mizuki’s voice line as he floats towards them. Before the enemy knows it, they’ve been defeated.

"Careful what you wish for." - Lucky Daye
A/N: there's mention of a dagger being used in detail and slight mention of killing oneself as a way to express one's loathing. there's also mention of someone being called a whore, but no one is specified
“I can’t say much about this scenario. I know how much you hate him. But for the sake of the world’s fate, set aside your grudges and help him. Please.” - Maddox
---------------------------------------------------
“JEONG FUCKING YUNHO?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!”
“Love, calm down -”
“I’D RATHER DIE THAN HELP HIM!”
MITO sighed as you angrily ranted about how Yunho ruined your life. Seonghwa sympathized with you silently while WooSanSang looked confused. In their opinion, Yunho was the sweetest man they’ve ever met. He was the human embodiment of sunshine. If he were reincarnated as an animal, he’d definitely be a golden retriever. To hear a different and scornful view about him unsettled the trio. They talked amongst themselves and with logic seeped into their combined brain cells (there’s only one), they figured you must’ve had your reasons for hating him. However, that didn’t stop their prayers for you. Why? It was simple.
If Hongjoong overheard you talking bad about him, he’d rip you a new one, saying something he most likely won’t mean, causing you to leave and creating an opportunity for Dabin to snatch them up and place them back in the simulation.
They prayed he’d understand.
“I’m not doing it. No. You’d have to pay me thousands of dollars in order to rescue the bane of my existence.”
“Y/N, please…”
You shook your head and crossed your arms. Your stubbornness was getting in the way of the mission and while you felt guilty for your selfishness, you couldn’t help it unfortunately.
“What’s going on?”
All of you watched as the captain approached the group, his hat in his hand so he could ruffle and fix his cherry red hair. A frown appeared on his face as he saw you deep in thought. He couldn’t read your expression clearly so he turned to the others to get an explanation. WooSanSang looked the other way while MITO pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. Finally, Seonghwa spoke up. The first mate figured that if he explained, Hongjoong wouldn’t be as angry.
“Y/N hates Yunho. Absolutely loathes him. For what? I’m not entirely sure.”
“If it’s for a petty reason, I don’t want to hear it. The virus knows we’re awake and that Y/N’s involved. The situation will become more dangerous and the corruption of the simulation will worsen.”
The harshness in Hongjoong’s voice brought you out of your thoughts. As much as you wanted to be mad at Hongjoong for sounding uncaring about your situation, you couldn’t. One, he’s the captain. Anything he says goes. Two, you weren’t willing to open up about your hatred towards Yunho so you brought this upon yourself. Three was the most important reason of them all.
Dabin is the virus.
And the longer you loiter around, the more likely his chances of catching you guys will increase.
Sighing dramatically, you walked up towards Hongjoong and pushed your pride back into the deep recesses of your subconscious. Hongjoong looked at you sternly and you tried hard not to cower under his frightening gaze.
“You’re right. My reason for my hatred is indeed petty. And I am sorry. I will still wake him up from the simulation. On one condition.”
“Name it.”
“If he tries to get near me, don’t let him. I don’t want to talk to him. I went so long without talking to him. I don’t intend to break that streak now.”
“Fine.”
You and Hongjoong shook hands and Wooyoung had to comfort San since he was the only one from the trio looking at the exchange between their savior and their captain. He felt bad for the human embodiment of a cat. He always talked about how everyone should get along since working as a team is better than working alone. After Yunho’s rescue, Wooyoung is concerned about how San will act once the atmosphere turns awkward.
“Right then. Let’s go.”
You, MITO, and the five pirate kings headed towards the door and entered Yunho’s domain of the simulation.
---------------------------------------------------
“Great job, man! She’ll never know! God she’s so naive.”
Yunho’s domain was both yours and his nightmare come true. You didn’t know how Dabin knew about the source of your hatred, but it seems he tapped into Yunho’s subconscious and pulled this horrid memory out of his head and forced him to relive it. You never told Dabin about Yunho out of fear of receiving judgement so you were racking your brain on how he figured it out. Seonghwa’s heart ached for both you and Yunho, San looked like he wanted to cry, WooSang were busy comforting him, Hongjoong had a forlorn expression on his face, and MITO was hugging you from behind. The captain faced you and spoke with a tinge of sympathy and slight bitterness in his tone.
The bitterness was aimed towards Yunho.
“So this is how you started hating Yunho. You were… a bet to him.”
You nodded solemnly and looked up at the ceiling so you could rapidly blink the tears away.
“We were freshmen in high school. We shared the same classes. I always had the biggest crush on him yet I kept my feelings to myself out of fear of ruining the friendship I had with him. Typical story right?”
You chuckled bitterly and Hongjoong grabbed your hand before gently urging you to continue.
He needed the full story.
“One day, Yunho asked me out. I was over the moon when he asked me on a date. Being the naive girl I was back then, I said yes.”
MITO tightened his hold on you, willing his anger to simmer away.
“It felt so real! The dates, compliments, secrets shared behind closed doors, and so on! He… was my first kiss.”
San yearned to hold you against him. He couldn’t handle it.
“One day, I made the mistake of coming to school early to surprise Yunho. I found him with his friends, laughing at something. I assumed it was an inside joke. Until I heard those exact words you guys heard just now.”
“Fuck.” Wooyoung cursed under his breath.
“I confronted him about it and he tried so hard to defend himself. Alas, he couldn’t. From that day, not only was our romantic relationship in shambles, but our friendship went up in flames. I declared my hatred towards him before walking away so I could cry it out alone in the janitor’s closet.”
“Oh, darling.” Seonghwa murmured sadly.
“I moved schools, changed numbers, and built a routine to make sure I avoided him at all costs. I was so heartbroken.”
You chuckled bitterly and looked up at Hongjoong.
“I told you the reason was petty.”
Hongjoong pulled you out of MITO’s arms and into his own so he could hug you tightly. You sobbed on his shoulder and Hongjoong tried his best to calm you down. He held you close to him, kissed the side of your head, and urged the others to come forward so they could envelop you in a group hug. He lifted your head and his heart broke at the sight of the heartbroken expression on your face.
“Firstly, let me apologize for what I said earlier. Your reason is not petty. Secondly, it now makes sense why Yunho was crying in his room that one time I caught him.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I walked in on Yunho experiencing a nightmare one time. I figured it was from all the fighting we had to endure. However, when I asked him what he dreamt about, he vaguely told me that he’s facing karma for hurting someone he held close to his heart.”
Wait…
“Now that I met you and have heard your story, I understand now. Listen, Y/N. I’m sorry to break our deal early, but you have to talk to him after you wake him up.”
“Hongjoong, I can’t -”
“When he first joined our crew, his head was low and he only carried one thing with him. This locket that he always wore wherever we went. He would always open it to look at the picture inside it, close it, and hold it close to his chest, muttering heartfelt apologies.”
Hongjoong sighed and continued.
“It took him a long time to return back to his old self. Whenever he would finish an enemy, he would always say ‘Careful what you wish for.’ before walking away. Hearing your story and connecting it to his grief explains so much. It may seem like I’m taking his side, but I’m not. I’m laying out the facts. It’s up to you to hear him out after you wake him up. For now, focus on the task at hand. Please.”
With a defeated sigh, you nodded and wiped away the remaining tears on your face before straightening yourself and walking away from the group so you could face Yunho and wake him up from this nightmare.
“Oh shit! Here she comes.”
Yunho’s friends giggled and dispersed quickly as you approached him. You forgot how tall he was so you craned your neck upwards to look at him properly. You resisted the urge to look away. After all this time, he still looked painfully handsome. His dark blue hair further accentuated his features, the baby fat surrounding his face disappeared, and he looked more rugged. You quickly glanced down at his beautiful hands and saw many scars littering his knuckles. The scars ranged from picking out roses in thorny bushes to past battles he endured. As you looked back up at him, the warmth of his deep brown eyes remained.
He was so in love with you.
“Hey, Natasha.”
“Hi, Yunho.”
Yunho enveloped you in a warm embrace yet you couldn’t bring yourself to hug him back. You never got the chance to since you ran away to process your thoughts. Yunho pulled back and frowned when he realized that you didn’t hug him back.
“Baby, how come you didn’t hug me back? Is something wrong?”
The words got caught in your throat. He was just as caring as he was before. You looked away momentarily, leaving Yunho worried. He grabbed your chin gently and turned your head so you could look at him. His hand cupped your cheek and his thumb wiped away the tear that fell from your eye.
“Hey. Talk to me.”
“What were you laughing about with your friends?”
Yunho’s face paled as you asked the first of many questions you always wanted to ask him. Beads of sweat dripped down his face slowly as you waited for an answer. You kept looking behind him just in case his friends were planning on pulling him away.
“It’s nothing, babe -”
“Are you sure? It definitely didn’t look like nothing to me.”
You were sure by now that his friends would try to pull him away. When you looked behind him, you saw MITO, Matz, and WooSanSang with death glares on their faces. Their glares were pointed at Yunho’s friends, who looked scared to even move an inch. You were relieved for their help. You needed answers so you could have a semblance of closure and wake him up at the same time.
“Baby…”
“You’ve been acting shady ever since we started dating. If something is wrong, tell me.”
Yunho was getting more nervous by the minute.
“You know I don’t play games. Careful with your next words.”
Finally, Yunho lowered his head and sobbed into his hands. This definitely didn’t happen before and you couldn’t help but comfort him. You pulled him into a hug and Yunho held onto you for dear life, afraid to lose you.
“I’m sorry! I’m so fucking sorry! Please don’t leave me! Please!”
Yunho hiccuped through his desperate pleas and cries as he held you tightly. You shushed him and rubbed his back as he continued sobbing. He lifted his head and your heart torn in two as you saw the painful expression on his face.
“I won’t leave if you just tell the truth.”
“But what if the truth hurts?!”
“Lying will only hurt you more.”
Yunho sighed shakily and loosened his hold on you yet his hands remained on your waist.
“Ok… listen carefully. The truth is… you were a bet.”
“A bet…?”
You heard it before, but hearing them again in this context somehow made it less painful.
“I made a bet with my friends to see how long I would last with you. It was the worst decision I’ve ever made! I should’ve listened to you when you claimed they were bad influences. They never cared about me from the start! I never should’ve gone to them for guidance in confidence boost. I will cut them off at your command. Just please… don’t leave me.”
He lowered his head.
“I know things won’t be the same and I won’t blame you if you decided to end things right now. But if you forgive me, I’ll work hard to make sure to gain your trust back whether as a friend or lover.”
The most logical decision was to end things and cut him off. However, your heart ruled over your head after hearing the words you wanted to hear for so long. You cupped his face and made him look at you.
“Yunho… I am mad at you. Mad that you took on this stupid bet by your stupid friends. However, thank you for telling me.”
You dropped your hands from his face and held his hands.
“I think we should end things. Romantically that is. However, I will still forgive you and remain friends. If you mean what you say, then I’ll support you in your endeavors to earn my trust back.”
Yunho’s mouth stretched into that wide loving smile you know and loved so dearly. Before he could speak, the lights went out suddenly. You both jumped at the sound of the bulbs bursting. You looked behind him to see MITO and the five pirate kings getting into fighting stances, ready to take on whatever they face.
“Pathetic.”
You heard Dabin’s voice yet you didn’t know where he was. You saw the six men disappear one by one and you grew afraid that Dabin kicked MITO out and placed the others back into the simulation. Yunho inhaled sharply as Dabin appeared behind him and held his dagger to the taller man’s throat.
“You forgave this asshole on the spot? After I worked hard to ensure that he will suffer?!”
“Dabin, I never told you about Yunho!”
“You didn’t have to. I just had to delve into his mind and make it come true.”
“Let him go!”
“After he fucking hurt you?! Are you crazy?!”
“Listen!” You exclaimed.
“This is already enough punishment for Yunho. The what ifs, pain, and tears. If you don’t let him go -”
“What will you do? Bore me to death with your endless voice saying to wake up?”
Dabin’s eyes widened as you grabbed his hand and shoved him against the nearest wall. His dagger was in your hands and the blade was pressed against his throat. You were nose to nose with your ex-husband, a fiery rage in your eyes as you stared him down. He chuckled lowly and bit his lip.
“Damn. Seems like this little jasmine grew thorns around her stem.”
“After you left with your whore, I swore off love since you left me more broken than Yunho.”
Something in Dabin’s eyes shifted. You thought he left you for someone else? He scoffed bitterly and curled his fingers around your wrist before closing them and flipping your positions around with impressive strength so you were pressed up against the wall. Your hands were pinned above your head and the dagger was back in his hand. The tip of the blade was dangerously close to your eye and his breathing was ragged. The black veins on his neck were growing until the ends of them touched his jawline. He leaned in closer and you held your breath to see what he would do. All of a sudden, he did something unexpected.
His lips pressed against your cheek gently before slowly pulling away.
‘Why did he do that?’
“I never left you. And I could never love someone else. Not when I have you.”
He let you go and ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair before looking at you, his dagger pointing at you.
“Go. Go! Before I do something I’ll forever regret. Just like Yunho.”
You didn’t dare look back as you ran away from him. You didn’t see him clutch his head but you did hear him scream in pain. However, you pushed forward and reached for the door before swinging it open and jumping through. A pair of long arms caught you as the door closed and disappeared behind you.
“Y/N.”
You looked up to see a different and fully awake Yunho looking down at you with concern.
Three piece suit, long black trench coat, and a black fur shawl thrown over his right shoulder. You then looked at his hair. It went from short and dark blue to long and black with streaks of dark red. It wasn’t dark enough to be either a maroon or cherry wine shade and it definitely wasn’t bright enough to match WooSanHwa’s hair.
“You ok?”
“Yeah… I’m fine.”
Yunho grinned in relief as he helped you up and walked you over to his friends and MITO. You were relieved that all six of them were simply kicked out of Yunho’s old domain. Once everyone assessed each other and determined that no harm fell upon them, they walked towards the next pirate king’s domain.
“By the way, do you… still forgive me despite how far I have gone inside this simulation?”
“Yes. Even though you were in a simulation, you said what I wanted to hear and that was enough for me to forgive you. However, this doesn’t mean we’re back together.”
“I’m aware. As I said before, I’ll work hard to make sure I earn your trust back. I’m ok with being friends.”
“Thank you for respecting my wishes. Oh! And also… thank you for giving me my first… everything.”
Yunho blushed as you thanked him for giving you all your first times. First date, first kiss, and so on. He held out his hand towards you and you took it.
“Shall we save the last two?”
