note. this was a very cute request ! enjoyed it lots while writing hehe thank you to whoever requested this <3 requests are still open so go ahead ! have a great day ahead, everyone !
HYUNWOO WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS. it could be a lie or a truth ─ that depends on his mood as your roommate. one second he’s cleaning everything and in the next second, he’s wrecking havoc around your shared place, infuriating you as if you were his mother.
number one reason. he is always in the mood to play ─ always and always.
“ let’s play!” hyunwoo hollers excitedly, pulling you away from your study table and into the living room without even asking if you were doing something important or what. before you could open your mouth to protest, the tall boy thrusts his game console at you and sat down close beside you.
“ i don’t think i can play, woo. i have a research to pass today and ─ “
“ don’t worry about that, hm? i haven’t even started mine yet! we can fail together!” he says, winking at you and starting the game before scooting closer to you excitedly. you scoff at him, elbowing his side and making him yelp in pain ─ toppling dramatically as if he was a defeated hero in an action movie.
“ if you beat me to this, i’ll let you go be a nerd!”
in the end, you had lost to him several times but at least you were laughing your ass off instead of crying over your research paper. what’s the fun in making it, right?
number two. he sucks at cleaning but at least he tries?
“ hi! i cleaned the house so you don’t have to!” hyunwoo greets you by the doorway, dashing towards you that his slippers weren’t even in the right place at all. you raised an eyebrow, taking off your shoes and entering your shared space to take a look with a proud hyunwoo trailing behind you.
he did indeed clean the place. you chuckle secretly, careful not to break that proud smile on his face. although there were still some residue here and there and a broken mop sticking out in the kitchen, at least he took the initiative to clean.
“ thanks, hyunwoo”
“ always at service!”
number three. he was insanely fucking attractive. you refuse to say it out loud but hyunwoo’s visuals ain’t a joke.
“ how do i look?” hyunwoo asks, barging into your room and spreading his arms out for you to take a look at his outfit. you turn towards him without any knowledge whatever stunt he pulled ─ and holy shit.
he was just wearing a black dress shirt and pants with his hair slicked back. what point did you find him attractive right now? you tried to snap out of it, throwing him a thumbs up before turning away from him. hyunwoo raises an eyebrow, walking towards you and stood in front of you.
“ you alright?” he asks, face nearing yours. trying your best to dodge his stares, you curse at him internally. he wasn’t helping at all and you wanted him to go out already and leave you in peace.
“ i am. you should go wherever you’re going. i have to do something” you reason out, shooing the boy away. he scoff sadly, pouting at you rushing him out but still went out nonetheless. once you hear the door shut, you cup your face with your own hands, taking a deep inhale to calm yourself down.
you’re only in love with his outfit, right?
your unexplained feelings went on for a few weeks. now, you’re trying to suppress them ─ trying to avoid hyunwoo even if every corner of the house, you could see him. sharing one roof with him was more difficult now ─ you just want to disappear when he suddenly approaches you.
“ oh my god!” not now, though. not when everything was dark ─ an unannounced blackout making you walk around to find a candle or a flashlight to help you. finding nothing, you start to panic. the dark was scary ─ it was one of your fears and dealing with it alone is scaring you to death.
curling up into a ball, you try to regulate your breathing and hold in your tears. you desperately pray the lights will come back on in a few seconds but unfortunately, you fail, and it makes you ten times more scared than ever.
“ hey, are you here? idiot, where are you?” hyunwoo’s voice echoes suddenly, calling out your name. you lift your head, calling him too and you hear rushed footsteps towards you ─ there hyunwoo stood in front of you with a small flashlight in hand and hair in a mess.
“ you’re here” mumbling quietly, you run towards hyunwoo and wrap your arms around him, crying onto his shoulder. stumbling a little, the boy quickly wraps his arms around you too and rub little circles on your back. hyunwoo knows how scared you are of the dark and when he realized a blackout occurred, he scrambled to find light for the both of you.
though all he had was a flashlight the size of his palm, at least you weren’t scared anymore ─ and that was all he wanted to see.
that night, hyunwoo didn’t know what got into him but when you broke the hug, he realized he wanted to save you from the dark forever.
“ did the heater break down?”
“ i think the heater broke”
you both laugh at that. the room had became freezing cold now that you could compare it to a freezer. hyunwoo gets out of his bed and pushed you to the side, laying beside you.
“ what the hell are you doing, hyunwoo ─ “
“ the heater broke, my love. i don’t want the both of us to freeze” he shortly explains, throwing the blanket over the both of you. you scoff at his words, rolling your eyes and just giving in to whatever he was doing.
“ i don’t want the both of us to freeze either, my love” you say, somehow forgetting the words slipping out of your mouth as hyunwoo wraps his arms around you. you snuggle closer to him, burying your face into his chest as you both drift off to sleep with your arms tangled around each other.
you had been walking to their dorm like you normally would, hands in your pockets with your music playing through your headphones. nothing seemed out of the ordinary until you opened the door to find the lights off and nobody home. that was weird, considering you had just finished texting dawit that you were coming over. closing the door behind you, you cautiously turned on your phone flashlight and looked around. suddenly you felt arms around your waist and the lights around you turned on instantly and all seven boys yelled a 'happy birthday'! smiling, you turned around and saw dawit looking at you with pure adoration in his eyes. "thank you, dawit." he smiled, "you're welcome, lovebug."
note. this is for my new 🐙 anon ! this was so cute to write HWHSHWHAH sorry this was kinda rushed because i have to get to classes D: but have a great day ahead, everyone <3
SCHOOL AND WORK HAS BEEN BEATING YOU UP these past few weeks, and kyungmin could see how tired you are when you get home. though sometimes you came home first ─ whenever it was his, he would watch you drop your bag on the floor and drag your feet to the bathroom.
he knew you’re tired but kyungmin knew there was no need to point out the obvious. just being there with you was enough for him, offering his arms for you to run and lay on when you want to.
today was different, though. as kyungmin almost drifted off to sleep on the couch waiting for you, the door opens and he immediately stands up from his place to greet you. tiredly smiling at him, you greet kyungmin who was making his way towards you.
“ how’s work?” your boyfriend asks, pulling you gently by the arms to cage you in a warm embrace. you don’t answer just yet, basking in kyungmin’s comfort. he always felt like home ─ and you were never more thankful than this time when he’s here beside you.
“ tiring. my boss has been extra naggy and professors are giving so much assignments” you confess, tightening your hug around the tall boy. kyungmin frowns at this, picking you up bridal style and making his way to your room. you squeal when he lays down with you and tangling his legs around you.
“ this is cuddle authorities. you are sentenced to cuddling me until you don’t feel tired” chuckling at his own words, you just accept your fate and bury you face into his chest. kyungmin smiles at that, bringing his other hand up to run his hands through your hair.
and kyungmin knew he did the right thing when he hears you sign in satisfaction, tangling your legs with his and arms wrapped around his. you didn’t care if you had work tomorrow or if you have papers to pass or you’re going to get nagged by your boss ─ all you ever wanted was here in your arms, so why bother?
synopsis. was falling out easier than falling in love? or was it easier to let go knowing we both didn't even know if we should have let go? donghyun lets go of you but somehow, he still wants to go home to you.
now playing. sin yeyoung, " why break up?"
note. y'all requested angst and i'm here channeling sad thoughts to make these HHAAHAHAHHA anyways this was a great request to write ! idk if it's alright tho D: i'm in a hurry because i have to study eueueue anyways, have a great day ahead, everyone <3
EVERY LOVE STORY HAD AN END.
“ we’ll never end, baby. don’t ever think about those” donghyun whispers reassuringly, voice mellow and touches soft as you lay on his chest. you smile, so stupid to believe you both would last until the end of time.
if you both had loved each other, you both would never end.
“ i love you so much. never let go of me, okay? because i will never let you go. no matter what happens i will always be by your side” donghyun swears, bringing his pinky up for you to link. it was christmas that time, snow falling onto his lashes and nose that made him so adorable.
you laugh, bringing your pinky up to seal his promise. naively, you both believed a stupid pinky promise would make you both stay.
that was two years ago ─ you both were still so young and naïve, believing anything you both swore to each other. and now you were sitting in front of donghyun who had his arms on his knees and covering his face with his palms. you sat straight, a sigh leaving your lips as silence had engulfed you both.
the fight a few minutes ago was the most painful, frustration and hurt laced in both you and your boyfriend’s voice. it has been going on like this for almost a year. fights have been more frequent and you both always had distance between each other now.
“ let’s break up” donghyun breaks the silence, closing his eyes as you whip your head towards him. your heart broke into two almost instantly, the sinking feeling in your stomach dropping to the lowest as you stared at him.
“ huh?”
“ we’ve been fighting almost everytime we see each other. are you not tired? we’ve been trying to save this relationship since last year and i ─ “ donghyun suddenly pauses, taking a deep breath as he sits up to stare at you. you just stare back at him, waiting for whatever he was going to say. no matter how much it’ll hurt, no matter how much it’ll scar you ─ you still wanted to listen.
“ i fell out of love”
“ is it because we both fell out of love?”
your eyes widen, as well as donghyun’s. so this was the reason and yet even if you both had done this ─ the heartache this would leave you will forever be permanent without any other word.
“ i guess it is” you mumble, smiling sadly and lowering your gaze while fiddling with your fingers ─ an action you do when you don’t feel comfortable. donghyun notices, sighing and standing up from his seat. you hastily look up, following after him to see him putting on his shoes on the front door.
“ donghyun ─ “
“ don’t make this difficult for the both of us, okay? i loved you and you loved me. in the three years, i think that’s enough already”
that was the last thing donghyun has ever said to you as the door shuts close ─ and donghyun feels a tear slipping from the corner of his eyes.
synopsis. meeting the boy every afternoon at the abandoned apartment was the best thing your imagination could've ever made.
now playing. iu, " my old story"
warnings. mentions of bullying & a brief mention of ghosts, loneliness leading to an imaginary friend, angst towards the end
note. i think this was so sad to write because i can relate to having no friends when i was young HAHAHAHAHA i was so lonely back then & only had one friend because of reasons eueue anyways have a great day ahead, everyone !
12 years old you first met keum donghyun
you didn’t have much friends. only two ─ and you were quite the introvert in school. the bullies always took advantage of this, though. they loved to take your money and prank you as seeing you never told anyone about it due to fear. this is why every afternoon or dismissal, you were always wary of going home late because they always always loved to pick on you.
running away from the bullies from your school, you ran as fast as your legs could even if the sole of your feet hurt already. turning back to an abandoned apartment, you immediately went up the stairs and stopped at the fifth floor. you entered a room, shutting it close in hopes the people chasing you would just walk away.
the door opened after a few minutes, making your heart drop and you kept your mouth shut, even preventing yourself from breathing. a pair of shoes came into your line of vision, making you look up shakily. you were more than ready to take a run for it but all you see is a boy around your age, adorning a grey sweater and fluffy hair looking at you with a smile on his face.
“ they didn’t see you come in here so you’re alright” he tells you, breaking the silence and staring contest both shared. you heave a big sigh of relief, standing up from your place and spent the afternoon with your first friend ─ keum donghyun.
13 years old you was best of friends with keum donghyun
although you didn’t know where he lived nor would he tell you when you asked, he was always in that abandoned apartment when you were there. you would always get into the room on the fifth floor, sitting on the worn out bed waiting for keumdong to arrive and spend the rest of the afternoon with you.
“ do you want to go on an adventure with me?” keumdong asks as he sat beside you, staring at the sky. you turn to him and the flashlight he had in hand, looking at him with curious eyes. he chuckles, wringing the flashlight on and pulled you out of the room.
“ are you sure we’re allowed to go around, donghyun? what if the grownups scold us?” you hiss at him, still holding onto his hand as he navigated through hallways and up the sixth floor. he turns to you and nods, breaking into a big smile as he pulls you into a room.
sitting down on a chair, you try to scan around the room even if the sun had little light already. donghyun was rummaging around, going through a closet that was too old already that you wondered if it was older than you and keumdong’s age. you expected it, though. this was an abandoned apartment and no one stayed in it anymore except you both coming here almost every afternoon.
“ here!” keumdong exclaims, whipping out an album with brown exterior that was covered in dust. you look at him skeptically as he sat down beside you, blowing away the dust accumulated on the top of the brown album. he laughs as you coughed out, the dust particles choking you suddenly.
“ where did you find that, keum?”
“ just here” he replies shortly, pointing his flashlight at the album and opened it slowly with a proud smile on his face. a bunch of pressed flowers were on each page, making you gasp at how pretty they were. donghyun just looks at you with a smile on his face while you practically snatched the album away from him.
“ this is so pretty! you’re so awesome, keumdong” you mumble, sending him a thumbs up. he laughs, messing your hair a little before scooting closer to take a look at the preserved beauty of the flowers. he wouldn’t mind looking at this little album for forever ─ at least you were there and the smile on our face.
maybe, keumdong wanted to stay a little longer.
14 years old you still loved being with keum donghyun
“ that’s an abandoned apartment. why would you like to go there every afternoon? who knows there’s ghosts in there” a friend of yours asks, staring at you in wonder as you stopped by the abandoned apartment. you just laugh, waving your hand off with a reassuring smile.
“ keumdong is there to accompany me so there won’t be any problem”
“ who’s keumdong? never heard of that name around the neighbourhood ─ ”
“ he’s my friend! anyways, i’ll go already, okay? i’ll see you tomorrow!” you wave at your friend who just nodded, even if not fully convinced of the friend you were referring to. no one ever entered that apartment ever since and now you’re going there as if it was your house.
what could go wrong? fourteen year old you just wanted to meet donghyun every afternoon
“ what took you so long? i was going to show you something again” donghyun asks, hearing you enter the room at the fifth floor. he sulkily crosses his arms, pouting and turning away from you. you chuckle, shaking his shoulder to face you with a frown on your face too.
“ i’m sorry! my friend just asked why i’m always coming here when it was abandoned” you say, truthfully, and keumdong’s eyes widen before turning back at you. startled, you flinch a little at his abrupt action.
“ what did you say then? did you say you had a friend or ─ ”
“ of course! i said i had a friend name keumdong who i see every afternoon!” you exclaim happily, obviously missing the stutter in donghyun’s words. he just laughs, a proud smile etching on his face and engulfing you in a hug.
“ we’re friends forever, right?” donghyun asks you, very quietly over a whisper, his arms tightening around your frame as he awaits for an answer. you chuckle, snuggling closer to him with a smile on your face.
“ of course! you’re my bestfriend!”
15 years old you slowly started to drift away from keum donghyun
you rarely visited the abandoned building. figuring out you and keumdong had lives outside that very building ─ you opted to not go there all the time due to schoolworks, your new friends, and being with life in general.
but even if you were busy, you never forgot donghyun. you loved him dearly ─ and you still visited the building when you can. he was always there when you visited and you’re relieved at that. you wondered how he always had the right timing of coming by but you never questioned him. climbing up the stairs, you twist the old doorknob open and enter the room.
to your dismay, keumdong wasn’t there. naturally, you would enter the room and see him either laying down on the bed or looking out the window with the cold wind gently kissing his face. today, there was no keumdong in the room, so you waited for a few minutes ─ that turned into an hour.
an hour had passed, and the cold was getting into you. due to the absence of a heater or any warm clothes in the room, you just sucked it up and sat there in hopes the boy would suddenly appear out of nowhere. you thought maybe he was mad you don’t come by often anymore and that you didn’t care about your friendship anymore ─ but the twisting doorknob made you look up from your thoughts.
“ am i too late?” there enters keumdong with a smile on his face, a jacket in hand and a mug. you sigh in relief, running towards him and trapping into a hug. keumdong laughs at you, setting the mug down on the bedside table and sat down beside you.
“ where have you been, dumbass? i thought you were mad at me for not coming by everyday” you say, sulkily punching his shoulder and rolled your eyes. he smiles at you ─ that typical eyesmile of his that looked so adorable and suited donghyun so well.
“ i wasn’t mad! i made you hot chocolate before coming here but then i spilled all over the kitchen so i cleaned up for a bit” he explains as he sheepishly messes his hair, embarrassed. you stay silent in disbelief before breaking into fits of laughter ─ keumdong was the best friend you could ever have and you hoped he would never leave you.
you both didn’t see each other for months after that day.
16 years old you forgot keum donghyun completely
naturally, the existence of keumdong had erased completely from your mind. you were extremely busy with everything you didn’t have the time to visit the abandoned apartment already ─ and because keumdong was just your imaginary friend.
you never realized, but the boy who had always been by your side during afternoons of your life had always been a piece of your imagination, a figment of a creative mind that was yours.
although by then, keumdong watches you clumsily slip out the album of pressed flowers he gave you, watching you pickup the album with a face of confusion. he knew you forgot who gave it to you ─ smiling sadly and lovingly as you flip through the pages as if it was the first time you saw the album, reminding him of the first time you had seen the album.
because even if you forgot about him, he wished for you to have the friends you had always wished for when you both were just 12.
note. isn't minwoo so cute? yes, yes he is HAHAHAHA no but fr he is (゚ο゚人)) anyways, y'all should flood requests hehe i don't bite nor do i complain and also, have a great day ahead, everyone ! <3
MINWOO sighed contentedly as he wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you closer to him ─ encaged in his arms. he loved days like this ─ just lazing around with you, and just with you.
" minwoo, i have classes in a minute" you say yet fail to make the volume of your voice louder due to your head buried in your boyfriend's chest. your muffled voice makes him laugh, pulling you closer though you whined.
not that you liked classes but you wanted to at least be present during attendance, though minwoo isn't planning to let you go at all.
" i don't want you to get away" he whines, making you chuckle and hit his arm lightly. it wasn't new to you, this kind of scenario, for minwoo loved to cuddle the daylights out of you, no matter how busy you both were.
you whine, mumbling a little more convincing words and tried to wriggle out of his grasp but you fail miserably, just giving up.
" i win! as punishment, you will take my cuddles, you peasant!" minwoo playfully says, laughing in victory and poked your cheek. you roll your eyes, scoffing at him. he just laughs, turning to lay side by side with you, your eyes meeting.
his eyes are pretty, so pretty you thought you weren't deserving to stare at it up close everyday. minwoo is overall pretty, from his face to his heart─ and you loved that from him.
" i love you, minwoo" you whisper, catching him off guard as his eyes widen at the sudden confession. he regains composure after a few seconds, though, and reached up to press a kiss on your forehead.
" i love you too" he brings a hand up to gently move the fringes covering your face, smiling softly at you─ he was an angel, he was sent from above, and most importantly, he was here with you.
