The basketball team follows a tradition of assigning challenges for fun and Heeseung gets a bet to make you fall head over heels in love with him and take your virginity and he succeeds in it. He thought it'd be easy, you'd date him, cry, and break up once the secret comes out, maybe even give him a slap or two.. but what he doesn't know is humans tend to only realise someone's worth when they're gone.

"Your turn, Heeseung hyung"
Jaeyun said while he stirred the glass straw in his mocktail, blooming a tingling sound in the silent atmosphere. Everyone looked at Heeseung. It was the time.
The time to prove their worth.
They had this sick addiction to truth and dare where they used to give each boys, a dare or make them reveal a secret for truth. They considered it their "display of manliness."..and someone who was unable to fulfill this twisted pattern was mocked and teased for the entire semester for being a pussy.
Young guys..indeed.
They had just conquered the basketball match and won the trophy to their university, filling the principal with joy and pride, which gave them even more privileges to do whatever they wanted to do in the campus.
It's not like they were pure bullies though...but with some of their actions, they did fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.
"Are you ready?" Jay said arching his eyebrow as he gave a nasty smirk to Heeseung, already thinking of one of the many things he could give him a dare for.
Midterms were near, but they could care less due to being exhausted by the inter-uni basketball match and constant practices..alll they wanted to do now was to let off some steam and relax..while also playing this danger game of dares and truths (secrets).
"I. AM. ready." Heeseung said looking into Jay's eyes...almost...almost glaring. Deliberately emphasizing each word to let him know that he wasn't scared of any mere game or a challenge.
"Okay..then..we should think of what to give him"
Yeonjun smirked, played with his popcorns and jokingly offered the bowl to Heeseung for him to take some but quickly gulped and withdrew his hand when he saw Heeseung's stern expression.
Heeseung would first hand argue that he wasn't scared of anything..not even God...then why did his heart start beating more rapidly at the thought of a challenge approaching him?
"You've done me dirty hyung, last time when I was the player, it was your idea that I seek out English final exams paper and leak all the questions , wasn't it?"
Sunghoon raised an eyebrow at Heeseung, jaw clenching at how he almost got caught while trying to complete the dare.
"Hey..but you didn't get caught right? Then what's the fuss about?"
Heeseung glared at him, gripping the edges of the bar couch hard with his knuckles. Turning them particularly white.
That was the problem. They always played this game once, in every two or three months, new season, spinned the bottle, and whoever it landed on, that only person had to do a dare as said by the other guys or reveal a secret about themselves to the whole world
And well...Heeseung wasn't the bestest guy in this game..he was the one who outed Jake's bisexuality for his truth, gave Sunghoon the idea of paper leak dare, dared Jay to record a sextape with professor's wife and very well cooperated with his evil mind during other guy's turns aswell. He enjoyed the twisted satisfaction.
But how long..before the sheep gets caught in its own mud?
"make a cheerleader of our university.. fall in love with you"
Heeseung suddenly lifted his face up at Jaeyun's words.
That is his dare.....?
What a fucking joke.
Heeseung knitted his brows together and scoffed. Partially relieved that they actually had some respect for him as a captain and didn't give any ridiculous dare..but on the other hand he was equally offended..cause what the fuck is this dare even ?
He wasn't into relationships at all. Let alone a lovey-dovey dare.
"What the fuck is that type of dare?" "Why Heeseung?"
"Afraid your dick game isn't capable of doing that?"
"If it was really about my dick game, you would give a dare of fucking some whore"
he looked at Jaeyun who was smirking already, as if he knew what was coming Heeseung's way too soon.
"I asked you something Jaeyun" Heeseung glared sternly at Jaeyun. Jaeyun just raised both of his arms in surrender, feigning innocence. "What man! I'm giving you a good dare.. cmon..there is no risk in that"
"But there sure is a plot twist"
everyone suddenly moved their eyes to him. "What twist?" Sunghoon asked suddenly getting curious and placed his glass down on the table.
"You not only have to date the girl...but you also have to take her virginity..."
The whole drowd erupted in chaos and laughter as if Jaeyun wasn't proposing a challenge but doing some stand up comedy.
"Come on Jake..we're in our sophomore year already...no girl as such is left virgin inside this campus..only if you don't count those twinks holes"
That guy said to Jaeyun and wandered his eyes to Rumi, a guy who was attracted to men and very submissive. Rumi upon feeling his gaze on him just covered himself with his jacket. Suddenly feeling uncomfortable.
"Anyways..that is your dare"
"What the fuck is your problem dude... now how am I gonna find a virgin here...let alone date and take her virginity????" Heeseung said visibly frustrated having no idea of the game Jaeyun was plotting for him.
More of a destruction rather than a game.
"I know one..who is"
"Y/N" "What??"
Heeseung's eyebrows raised in confusion. You were one of the cheerleaders.. so ofcourse he knew you but you two never crosssed paths...even though you had mutuals like Jaeyun himself.
"Are you talking about that cheerleader who goes to date with a different guy every month??? Lmfao..never in my fucking life I'd believe she's a virgin."
"But she is" jaeyun said calmly, knowing what he was doing.
"She's just too kind and very popular so whenever someone asks her out on a date..she just agrees to go, but usually it's a one time thing, and she hasn't fucked any of them yet.."
"Trust me she's my friend..I know..all of her friends know that, you can ask them."
Heeseung placed both of his arms on the table, carefully analyzing whatever Jaeyun was trying to do here.
"But she's your friend..? Why are you making her the target? knowing very well she'll get hurt from this?"
"I have my own reasons."
"Hyung...the way you're asking so many questions make it seem like you're trying to chicken out of it...are you scared?" Ni-ki said sucking on the lollipop, grinning from ear to ear seeing his captain flushed like that.
The bottle landed on Heeseung after a long while..so it was time for a long dare too.
Heeseung glared at Ni-ki and then looked at Jaeyun.
"Bring it on then"
and then the challenge got its own take-off.
————————
"The midterms are gonna kill me....AWHHH!!"
Chaewon said burying her face in the crook of your neck. "Hmm tell me about it"
You patted her head. Both of you were just finished with your cheerleader activities and now the midterms were about to start, giving you an absolute no-break life. Your other friends also walked side by side visibly exhausted after the long major class.
"So what happened to the Taeyong guy, Y/N-ah?? Any plans of dating him???" One friend of yours asked, plugging out one of her earphones.
You just gave a sheepish smile at her. "Uhm no..he was nice..but we only went on a date once...and that kinda told me that we weren't compatible as a couple..you know??"
"And did you guys fuck after that date or not???" Chaewon asked wiggling her eyebrows, you just spanked her hands lightly and chuckled.
"No! Not at all.."
"are you planning to stay fucking celibate and become a nun or what???"
Thst broke the group into laugh. "No but I need to find a good guy.."
"Good girls like you need a bad guy for them..I guess you haven't found him yet.." Wonyoung whispered raising her shoulders as if were the most factual thing that's ever come out of her mouth.
But somewhere along the lines..she wasn't wrong too.
"Kay bye everyone..!" You bid them bye and walked to get to the library. Your eyes on your phone, scrolling all the dms you received from different guys, trying to pick out who to choose for the next time.
A sigh escaping you when none of them caught your eye. They were good, nice, polite even. But they were not what you wanted..not what you needed. One more reason to not lose your virginity.
You craved a suffocatingly dizzying depth, a mesmerizing true devotion, and a guy who had a burning desire in his eyes.
which none of the guys you met showed you yet—
"Jesus christ—!!!!"
Your train of love thoughts came to an end when you felt your foot slip and the world tilt infront of your eyes. Oh my god..I fucking slipped on the floor. You immediately closed your eyes. Already imagining everyone's reaction when you touch the ground, how embarrassing that will be be for you, you clutched the phone tight in your hands squeezing your eyes..
But the fall never came??
You peeked your eyes open suddenly, when you felt two warm hands wrap around your waist gently.. to stop you from falling and your vision came back to see a handsome face just inches apart from you.
Lee Heeseung. The basketball team captain. Sophomore year just like you. He was popular, even more than you, around the whole campus. Girls drooled and died just to befriend him, date him or sleep with him. Even some of the young female professors swooned over him..and one even slept with him.
You heard the stories. Of course you did.
Everything fell into slow motion but soon came back to normal when you both detached yourselves from eachother. People around you two present, whispering things, already anticipating some dating rumors.
"Hey..are you okay???" Heeseung said as he held both of your edges of shoulder with his hands and tilted his face down a little to match your height. His eyes so bambi and innocent. You've never seen him like this.
Never during the matches, never during the classes, never during anything. He was softer than you've seen him before.
"Yea-yeah..I'm okay, thanks for saving me"
you bowed down your head a little and immediately let your eyes fall on the ground where you slipped to spot....a banana peel?
"Wow what the fuck"
Your eyes squinted, "now who the fuck is eating bananas and throwing them in the middle of the corridor??"
"I know right..tell me about it..they neeed to be careful when littering." He agreed with you and then gave you a heart shaped hot pack.
"Here..apply this on the back of your calves.. since you were about to slip suddenly.. so your muscles must've been stretched..apply this to them a little, yeah?" He said giving a pearly smile, patted your head lightly and went away with his almost empty bag hanging on one side of his shoulder.
Leaving you there..dumbfounded.
What the fuck just happened and why the fuck did that make you fucking blush???
—————————
as soon as Heeseung turned his direction and entered another building, he heard clapping sounds from behind. It was Jaeyun. He was grinning and leaned on the wall.
"Dare I say...oscar worthy performance??"
Heeseung just chuckled at his words and rolled his eyes. "Better than the oscars"
Jaeyun then started walking towards him and came closer, putting his hand on Hee's shoulder. "But that was dangerous..you know right???"
"You intentionally put the banana peel on the floor where she was about to come to make it slippery without anyone noticing..and then grabbed her like you were her saviour"
"When in reality..you were almost about to let her get hurt"
Heeseung just yanked Jake's hands away from his shoulders. "But she didn't get hurt right?"
"But she could've" "but she didn't."
"Look Jaeyun-ah..I'll do it my own way, so don't pretend to care for your friend now.. after you've purposely given her name to me."
Heeseung then licked his lips and gave a nasty smrik to Jaeyun. His eyes turning dark for a second.
"And you know what..she's pretty..really pretty..now even if you take back the dare..I won't stop from making her mine."
He smriked at Jaeyun and walked away while humming to himself.
"Can't wait to take her virginity ~~~"
——————————
Next day
You entered the class earlier than everyone else..
you looked at the watch. and you were twenty minutes early today. your eyes squinted. how did I come this early?
you shrugged your thoughts and took a seat anyway. curling your hair with one fingers and with the other, scrolled on your phone through some of your guy friends texts
"Jeno : cafe date when sweetie?"
"Kyung : wanna grab matcha?"
"Minso : I like you Y/Nieee, would you like to go out with me?"
you sighed putting the phone face down and started scribbling on your notebook, getting lost in your thoughts. as much as you acknowledged these guys and admired their feelings for you. it just was not it. not what you craved. your mind started reeling back to what happened yesterday.
the basketball captain Heeseung and how he saved you from falling. how warm his fingers felt against your bare waist. how deep his voice sounded. you quickly shrugged those memories. it's not like there's anything though, you didn't even know him properly.
but what you did know was that you wanted someone who'd make you forget your days and nights, someone who'd carry you with grace.
you wanted a darkness that consumes you—
"a darkness that consumes you?"
your breath got stuck midway when you looked up to spot Heeseung standing infront of you. your face getting pale,
how did he—did he just—?
Heeseung saw your pale face and quickly pointed at the notebook to clear out the confusion.
"your scribbles, you were writing them so I read them"
you quickly looked down to find that you were writing everything... EVERYTHING.
"not what you craved. how warm his fingers felt against your bare waist. how deep his voice sounded. but what you did know was that you wanted someone who'd make you forget your days and nights, someone who'd carry you with grace. you wanted a darkness that consumes you—"
your eyes widened and you quickly closed down your notebook..
fuck.. that was so embarassing. you wondered if he read those and understood that those were about him..why not just dig a hole and bury yourself at this point? but sadly you could do nothing. so you quickly looked up and tried to be defensive.
"you do know it's not polite to peak into someone's notebook without them knowing, right?" you interrogated with one brow raised. Heeseung just raised his hands in the air, accepting defeat, definitely not wanting to piss the target off before the dare is even complete.
"you're right, it was my fault.. should've asked"
he scratched the back of his neck and went to sit on a chair. finally sighing.. you put the journal back before anyone could read it once more. you were NOT taking chances after this. sounds of approaching footsteps made both your and Heeseung's ears perk up and you lifted your head to see a guy entering the classroom.
you very well knew who that guy was. a guy that has been trying to hit on you since the very start of the freshman year. he fixed his hair and, walked closer to you, sitting in the chair infront of you and smiled at you. you've said no to him multiple times, have made multiple different excuses, but he never really cared or listened, claimed he would still like you.
liking someone was okay but it gets to a point.
Heeseung noticed your uncomfortable position as soon as the guy entered. he wanted to step in but held back a little to observe. not him, but observe you. observe how easy of a target you were.
afterall that was the only thing you were to him. right?
"missed me, Y/N-ah?" you looked into his eyes but didn't smile and just slowly replied. "I didn't."
the guy chuckled. he was Ren, really popular among girls himself, but he only wanted you, fucked every girl but only claimed to love you. it felt ego-boosting at first to have a popular guy like you but it turned creepy when you didn't find him your type and rejected his proposal after the first date.
"too bad cause I did miss you.. recently you haven't been visiting our library we used to go"
"I don't like that library anymore." lie
you only stopped going there because of his creepy stares to you all the time.
Heeseung could've let you handle it on your own... afterall...why the fuck would he care? he was no different or saint from that guy... if being realistic, but something in him still stirred and told him to go and protect you.
he stood up from his seat, walking over and nonchalantly sat beside you. interrupting the intense eye contact you were having with Ren. both of you looked at Heeseung. who just came up and sat beside you, his eyes still on the phone not moving an inch. with one hand he scrolled on his phone and with the other, he smoothly slid it behind your chair almost touching your back.
that didn't move Ren in a better way. ofcourse Heeseung and Ren knew eachother, and of-fucking-course not in a good way.
"brother Lee, it's mine"
Ren said leaning, putting both his elbows on your table and looked at Heeseung. Heeseung immediately understood what he meant. he was implying that you were his, and not Heeseung's. Heeseung just chuckled. the mention of you being someone else's, that bloomed something ugly in him. "you're living in delusion, Ren"
Heeseung was very much sleep deprived and had no energy to fight whatsoever, so his tone was still not enough to instigate any argument. but apparently Ren had other plans. he looked at you. you were just watching the boys speak, not exactly getting what they were trying to say and you were terribly annoyed at Ren's presence to focus on their double meanings aswell.
Ren looked at you and smiled. and then looked at Heeseung and then back at you.
"has my Y/Nie already made a boyfriend behind my back?"
your brow raised when you realised that he was seeing you and Heeseung as a couple. you were about to interrupt when Heeseung answered.
"yep she has"
"and this boyfriend of hers doesn't really like when other guys roam around her like bugs..so the bugs should get away"
Heeseung said leaning on his chair, his hand was now slowly caressing your back to show the couple pda.
Ren just chuckled. the pain burning in his heart but he knew better than to mess with Heeseung... so he just stared at you for the last time and quietly went out of the classroom. you turned to Heeseung,
"thank you.. he's really creepy and annoying everytime" "why don't you report it?"
"cause he's one of the richest students like you, nobody really listens to complaints against him" "don't worry, I'll be there whenever he comes.."
he smiled at you to which you smiled back...and that's only when you realised that his fingers and his palm were still caressing your back, drawing circles on it, sharing warmth. for a moment you forgot everything in your surroundings and only focused on how his fingers moved on your back, giving you slow caressing.
but soon you heard other classmates come in and Heeseung quickly moved his hands away. making crimson appear on your cheeks and a question rise in your heart.
am I falling in love with the one that could break my heart?
——————
"sorry but it's out of stock now" the lady said with a sad smile.
"what?? ahh nooo ughhhh" you sighed out of annoyance, there was a trending strawberry-milk-chocolate lollipop trending around the street and you wanted to try it so bad.
you knew the university cafeteria had it but now suddenly it was gone.... you wanted to ask the lady more, but then your friends pulled you back.
"ah leave it YN... it will come and restock again..." Wonyoung said handling you a bottle of water. you took it and gulped the water and soon got lost with your girlfriends , gossip and gimbap.
—————
it was time for the classes and none of them shared this one with you, so you parted ways with them and took the yard route to get to another building. the yard was pretty empty with only one or two people around walking with headphones on. you were also texting one of your childhood friends about your day when you bumped into someone's chest.
"oh sorry—" you looked up to see Heeseung with the sugar pop in between his lips.
wait was that the..trending one?
you shooed your thought away and bowed your head down to apologise a little for bumping. then your eyes went again to the candy he was having..and to your inconvenience, Heeseung very well noticed it.
"are you looking at the candy between my lips or my lips around the candy?"
both.
that's what you would've said if you weren't a pussy.
"the pop between your lips" you raised your brows.
"it's the trending strawberry milk chocolate one with the bigger size right??" you blurted out which made Heeseung widen his eyes a little. you just nervously chuckled.
"well I've wanted to taste it for a long time...that's how I remembered..." "you haven't tasted it yet?" you shook your head, clicking your tongue. "nope not yet.. I was gonna but they were out of stock." "oh too bad."
but then his lips curved into a little smile.
"do you wanna taste it?"
"i mean it's infront of you, you want a taste?"
you bit your lips and looked at the sugar between his lips. you didn't know what tempted you more. his lips or the sugar. he sucked the life out of it infront of you, attaching both his lips around the sugar and practically had a makeout with it and then started with long licks around it. you didn't know why but the sounds along with the visual representation was making you wet...and Heeseung was well aware of that everytime the sound came, you were closing your legs together very subtly. but enough for him to notice.
"wanna have a taste?" you body moved before your brain could and you nodded instantly, almost looking so dumb you were sure of it.
"do you want it?" "yes"
he walked closer to you and licked the lollipop for the last time before taking it out of his mouth, you expected him to give you that. you looked at him but what you didn't expect him to do..
was grab you by your neck and attach his flavored lips to yours.
your body froze for a second. your eyes still open but his were well closed and he started moving his lips instantly, wasting no time. and parted his lips, letting his tongue covered with the sugar flavor...enter your mouth and make you dizzy from how the taste was coming altogether.
he held your waist strongly and started walking you backwards till you hit a little hard surface.. you assumed it was tree.. since you were in the yard. he pinned your both hands above your head and deepend the kiss leaking all that sugar juice into your mouth.
you were so lost in the kiss, your lips moved on your own, opening just right for his tongue to enter, holding your breath for so long and even responding well to the kiss even though it was the first, such an intense kiss of your life.
all the kisses you had before with guys, were short and sweet. it was the first time you experienced.. such an intense, deep and long one. you both finally parted ways..breathless.
you held on his collar, "what was that for?"
"didn't you say you wanna have a taste?" "I meant the candy!"
"I taste better than that"
he pressed you down on the branch and started kissing you again to which you kissed him back. saliva drooling onto your neck, the subtle scare of a professor waking away. but the way his lips danced against your own made you forget everything about your day.
but one thing you were still unknown of......
was that Heeseung intentionally bought all the lollipops and made them go "out-of-stock" just so he could lure you in and steal this kiss.
—————
you didn't know how and why but since then, Heeseung became an important part of your life, always showing up, saving you, helping you, entertaining you..people teased you two as couples due to how you two were acting all lovey-dovey with eachother...... and despite denying them and their teasings.
something in your heart still bloomed like a fire when you put "Heeseung" and "Love" in the same sentence.
soon enough he asked you on a date,
"what are you doing Y/N-ah??" Heeseung said looking over your phone where you were smiling seeing some of the guys texts and they were saying funny things to you about how they would dress up as teletubbies for your date. you didn't want to go on date that much these days but due to a bit pressure, still agreed to go on a date with Taehyun.
Heeseung scoffed looking at how happy you were looking at your phone. he didn't like it a bit.
the mention of Jungwon, Taehyun, Ren and not him. something ugly was rising in his heart. and so he said.
"are those the kiddie guys you're going on a date with, love?"
he possessively slid a hand across your shoulder and leaned down to where you were sitting, and with his other hand, he lifted your chin up to make you look at him and not the texts of other guys.
some of the guys were your friends, you can't let him diss them like that. right? you looked at him and replied.
"some of em are my friends Hee—"
"get yourself a real man, Y/N-ah"
his grip on your chin got firm, not breaking the eye contact. the tension so heavy, it could be felt in the air. "Hee—"
"would you like to go on a real date with me instead of all of them?"
your breath hitched. suddenly the room felt too small, the air too thick and your mind too big. you should've said no, your date was already fixed but still your mind wandered with a thousand possibilities. his gaze still fixed on you, waiting for your "yes", cause he knew he was getting one.
"I—I will" good.
Heeseung smiled at you, his grip on your chin getting gentle and he kissed you right there.
dare step 1, complete.
that day, you both went home with different victories in your mind.
————
FIRST DATE
you entered the venue of where your supposed date was going to take place. it was a dimly lit billiard-pool hall, semi crowded by young people.
various crowds of smoke came from different areas, girls puffing out their life away. while the dark chuckles of men surrounded the four walls.
it was new to you. usually for dates, the university or non-university guys took you to either a five star restaurant, cafe or museums.
you never met a guy who invited you to such a mysterious place.
this was new. this was exciting.
you were about to text Heeseung when a certain voice caught your attention from the back.
"searching for someone...?" you turned around to spot Heeseung leaning on one of the tables. sporting baggy jeans, white tee and a black leather jacket.
goddamn..
you silently gulped away the thirst that formed inside you for him and went towards him. "heyy.. I was just about to text you" he just smiled and gave you a light hug, soon extending his forearm infront of you to hold on.
"first time..here?" you shyly smiled and nodded.
"well then let's make it unforgettable for you"
————
he led the way to an even darker and dim hall which was less crowded but still carried the same sensual aura which did things to your mind. Heeseung looked at the guy who was playing the slow music in the background.
"brother Jim..play Criminal".
Heeseung then looked back at you and titled his head, eyeing you up and down.
"cause I'm gonna commit a crime today" that presumably Jim guy nodded and soon played "Criminal by Britney Spears". you raised a brow and leaned your back onto the tables. the sudden rush of confidence and adrenaline flooding your senses.
"what crime are you planning to commit today, Mr. Lee?"
Heeseung bit his lower lip, taken aback by your sudden shift, but God.... only he knew how much hotter that made you look. so he started taking slow deliberate steps towards you and finally came closer to answer your question.
"crimes that will leave you with permanent stains"
Heeseung's eyes turned serious for a split second before they returned to flirtatious again. cause he wasn't lying with those words....at all. he then smiled at you and held your hand.
"come on darling, play with me" you two stood beside the table, you pouted and looked at him. "but I don't know how to play—"
"I'll teach you..everything"
he tucked one strand of hair behind your ear and suddenly, very aggressively turned you around so now you were facing the table and he was right behind you. you gasped.
"Hee—" "shh"
he shushed you while both his hands trailed from your back to your shoulders and he gently pressed on them to make you lean on the table. and he didn't stop bending you like that till your breast were getting flushed and pressed down to the table, till your back was completely arched and till your ass started rubbing on his thigh. Heeseung looked at the sight and he knew he could cum from this alone if he just looked too long.
so he leaned even closer to you and made his lips come closer to your ear. the heat of his body touching every right parts of your body. letting goosebumps rise up. momentarily stopping your breath between. you tried your best to stay calm but still jerked when you felt his lips whispering near your ear.
"are you ready love?"
he was completely bent down at your level, his body pressed to yours, nothing was left untouched. you could feel his cologne sticking to your black dress now, from how close you two were. you looked around and were glad that everyone was busy in their own worlds. your eyes then landed on Jim guy who was playing music. he seemed really close to Heeseung.. interesting.
you tilted your face a little so now your cheeks were touching Heeseung's lips a bit, giving you shivers.
"you must come here often, no?"
you saw Heeseung's smile drop a bit before it came back and he replied.
"why?" he said smiling but his tensed raised eyebrows gave it away. "that Jim guy..he recognised you" "ahh him"
Heeseung didn't know what to say cause he did infact come here alot of times. with the guy friends, with girls, with other's girlfriends. the lack of response kind of pissed you for no reason.
"how many girls have you brought here, Lee?" you asked with curiosity and hidden jealousy.
"does it really matter? if you're the only one who's currently with me?"
he said and gave you no time to react as he started kissing the back of your neck purposely to shut you up and that did work.
"ahh..Hee not here!." but he sucked harder at your words. "I wonder if it really matters who was here before you..if the one feeling my lips on her skin right now is you"
he said and bit the side of your neck gently. not enough to sting, but enough to be felt. you felt the desperation in his voice. your heartbeat started increasing.
did he get mad? you gulped. you didn't want to hurt him.
"hey hey." you moved your neck away from his lips a little and looked at him. "hey I'm sorry..I didn't mean to offend you or anything"
bingo. you fell right into the trap.
Heeseung laughed mentally but from the outside, he just gave a mad eyeroll. it was so much fucking fun for him.
the irony of having to apologise when it wasn't even your fault and just a mere question.
too easy to gaslight and manipulate.
"it's fine" you quickly took his hands and interwined them with yours, leaning back on him to let him feel you against him more, touching the side of your cheek with his, you affirmed him.
"Hee..I—won't you teach me?" he quickly looked at you and made the corner of his lips lift. God, he couldn't torture you further, you were too kind for it.
"I will teach you" he gave a peck on your lips and sneaked his hands until they landed on your ass and gave a hard spank. it made an embarassingly loud sound. your eyes widened and you looked around but luckily the background music was loud enough to cover whatever just happened.
you looked back at Heeseung and he just seemed chill. he quickly stood tall again and pressed you even lower to the table. getting as closer to you as possible and letting you feel his leather belt on your ass. at this point, he was literally grinding without even moving. he gave one light spank again and gave a light tug at your hair.
"come on baby girl..eyes on the game now."

later on that night, when dropping you to your shared apartment with your girls, he stopped you in the living room, went down on his knees with a bouquet of red roses in his hand and proposed you.
"would you like to be my girlfriend, Y/N?"
your eyes getting wet as you looked at your girls who were squealing with happiness on the side upon witnessing such a romantic act and gave you a thumbs up to accept his proposal. something stirred in Wonyoung cause she knew how much of a womanizer Heeseung was, but she shrugged it away thinking that maybe he finally changed due to how sweet he was to you.
your heart beating rapidly when you nodded your head with tears in your eyes and accepted the bouquet of red romantic roses.
Heeseung soon getting up and embracing you in a tight hug. you didn't know why but you felt your heart drop as soon as he hugged you. as if you said yes to a wrong thing. but you assured yourself that you were just nervous and your mind was making things up due to the novelty of the situation.
rule no 1? always trust your instincts.
——————
the news of the loved cheerleader and the popular basketball captain dating eachother started selling like hotcakes. it was whispered in every corner, talked on every student forum and broke many hearts. it was a big thing cause you were known to usually turn down men after the first date, claiming they were "not your type" and Heeseung was the type to never date but only do hookups. so people did see it as a miracle. but not all miracles are good
————
"you're taking way too long, hyung" Ni-ki said crushing the cigarette with his feet.
"I would've completed that if I was you" Heeseung just rubbed his forehead and massaged his temple and replied. "you don't know how she is.. so don't say anything"
"how is it really going for you tho? took her virginity yet?" Jay interrogated.
"nahh man.. haven't taken it yet" Heeseung hissed opening the can and chugged it all down at once.
"you should've taken it by now.. it's been one month to the dare already...it's not supposed to take that long" Jaeyun said rubbing his temples, tensed and feeling out of time as if he was doing it instead of Heeseung. those words annoyed Heeseung who was already pissed at something from the morning.
"I'll TAKE IT! OKAY!!? I'LL FUCKING TAKE IT!! don't think I'm not fucking capable of doing that dare!! ofcourse it's gonna take time since she's inexperienced...but I've already started dating her so the next step will come very soon"
"then I hope you succeed in it...captain" Jaeyun said while he scrolled on the university news about you and Heeseung's dating rumors.
————
from then on, Heeseung was kind of shocked with how much you changed since you became his girlfriend. regular good morning, good night texts, texting him to choose between two outfits or two nail colors, bringing something you made by your own hands for him, like a scarf, some cookies or even helping him in his assignments. he never took you for the clingy type.
but he liked it. though it was little annoying but he knew he had to bare with it and also take some actions himself, if he really wanted to complete the challenge.
—————
You were talking to Subin in the class, he was one of your childhood friends. Your parents jokingly used to say they would make you two marry eachother when you were a child. But Subin never had any feelings for you, you were sure of that.
he cracked a joke which made you laugh and you hit his shoulder lightly. "You're so funny bro..what's wrong with you!" You two laughed.
but from the corner of your eyes you saw Heeseung enter the classroom and your smile dropped by a bit.
Heeseung also changed a bit, in the sense.. it wasn't toxic, but he became overly possessive, territorial and jealous over little things. He didn't like you talking to other guys when he wasn't there, he always told you to block guys who had a crush on you and definitely despised all your male friends.
He came where you two were and gently caressed your hair.
It was supposed to be a challenge right? then why was it fucking painful to see any other guy making you laugh?
Even Heeseung didn't know what the fuck was wrong with him these days but he didn't pay those feelings any attention and only focused to make a step today.
the class started. Heeseung purposely made you sit in the back rows with him where noone was...since most students sat in the front and middle row. Claiming he wanted to "spend more time" with you.
15 minutes into the class. You felt him caressing your thigh. Goosebumps came and your body jerked a little when he started massaging your thighs over your skirt.
You pretended that you had no idea what was happening and kept your head forwards to the board but still your body told him that it was receiving the touch very well.
His hands slowly went inside your skirt and he touched your wetness. Your eyes widened and you stopped his hand by grabbing his wrist. You whispered.
"What are you doing Hee?" "What I should've long time ago"
"what do you mean?"
"I'm just giving you my love darling..it's a little different form of love that's it...are you willing to accept my love?"
You gulped a little but nooded letting him continue. his fingers roamed around your core but it was too much for you... if he would continue any longer, you were sure an orgasm would hit you right here.
"please hee later" you begged him and he finally stopped. But later on he dragged you by your arms in a dark dimly lit locker room which seemed to have been abandoned.
"B-but someone would—" "noone would come baby"
"Noone would" he said as he went down on his knees and pulled your skirt down and gave you the best head you could have ever had as your first experience. It left you shaking. You slowly pulled your skirt up, still trying to wipe the wetness while you legs were trembling with each step.
But Heeseung wasn't done.
"Won't you return the favor?"
He said coming back on his feet and pulled you by the v line top revealing your breasts. He digged his face inside and closed his eyes taking long inhales of your chest and then finally pulled away. You knew what he meant by returning the favor.
But you didn't know how to give a head. But how could u say no to him?
"I—I will" you looked into his eyes and took his index finger in your mouth, sucking it for a while before Heeseung successfully made you go down on your knees and held your hair in a ponytail in one hand.
Already relaxed cause noone was coming, i mean how would he not?
He had several experiences in this locker room with other girls..so he was indeed speaking from experience but you were too unaware to realise it.
"Go ahead" he commanded which made you rub your knees together.
"H—Hee..I—I" "you what baby?"
"I—I don't know how to give a head" "what!?"
he pulled out the most shocked expression he could, mixing it with a bit of sympathy and surprise. Like he had no idea about this. Like he definitely didn't know this was a part of his plan. He caressed your hair and bent down to your level for a bit.
"It's okay darling..I'll teach you everythinggg"
"Open the belt first" you hesitated but he made your both hands go on the belt, you slowly unbuckled the belt and put it away. and lifted your eyelashes to look at him.
And damn that sight came straight out of heaven for Heeseung. Right now, he just wanted to put himself in your mouth already..but he waited.
He has come so far, he wouldn't let a single horniness ruin it all.
So he slowly guided you, slowly helped you, your mouth, how you should move your tongue, told you to look up at him, and gave occasional light slaps on your cheek to guide you in the right place.
He wouldn't admit..but that was one of the best head he got from a virgin.
—————
D-DAY OF VIRGINITY LOSS
it was your weekend movie night with Heeseung tonight at his apartment, in which he used to live alone, you cozied up on the couch draping the blanket over yourself but something inside you was buzzing.
Last move night, you and Heeseung watched "Titanic" together which made you both horny, you told him that you wanted to do it. But him being the respectful boyfriend he was, told you that he would only do it when you're ready. So you told him next moive night you'd be fully ready for it.
And it was tonight.
You gulped chunks of redbull to calm your heart that was beating rapidly since this morning at the thhought of losing your virginity.
You knew this wasn't the first for Heeseung... but it was for you.... so you were pretty nervous and did an everything shower, matched your lingerie, watched some videos on pornhub, and some youtube advices from girls on how to please your man....yet the unease wasn't getting away at all.
Heeseung came back with the popcorn and saw your tesned body language. He immediately gave you a big hug from the back startling you at first. "It's okay if you're not read—"
"I am." You said firmly. You wanted to do it. You trusted Heeseung with your life at this point. There was noone better than him for your first. And in the very quiet..he looked in your eyes and whispered.
"I love you" you smiled and put your head on his chest.
"I love you too" you replied back kissing him.
the movie ended and just when he was about to grab the remote to turn it off. you grabbed him by his collar and kissed him, soon getting on top of him, straddling him, he was baffled.. not that he was complaining at all.
He kissed back with the same passion and carried you bridal style to his master bedroom which had view of the entire seoul city.
In Heeseung's mind, only one thought chanted.
"Yes...this is it... tonight's the night... I'll be done with my bet"
He turned you around and pushed your cheek flush to the glass wall.
Caressing your ass in your skirt and started riding up his hands inside it catching your breath way. Your heartbeat fastening as his hands went up and he rolled down the skirt and opened the zipper of your tank top soon attaching his wet tongue onto your bare back sliding his tongue up and down.
"Ahh hee fuck—"
and then went to your neck licking a stripe of the flesh of your neck and gave a bite... making a sultry moan break out of you. Your legs trembled as he got rid of the rest of your lingerie too and turned you around achieving the heavenly sight of your naked boobs which were a little red due to being pressed to the glasswal. He hissed.
"fucking milk factories"
He wasted no time in attaching his lips to one of them while the other was squeezed continuously with his hands. You grabbed at his hair, pushing his face even deeper in your chest loving the tingling and sensual sensation of feeling a man's wet plump lips on them for the first time.
He detached and again went for your lips. His both lips capturing your bottom lip in a hard pull and he started specially sucking on them...leaving you breathless..after he made sure that your bottom lips were swollen, then he entered his tongue inside your mouth...
one of his hands grabbing your face firmly and pulled you closer to make his tongue go even deeper in your mouth than it already was.
with the other hands he started smearing your wetness on your thighs making you ashamed at how you were dripping so hard for him. You finally started hitting on his bare chest when you felt a lack of breath and only then... did he detach himself from eating your mouth.
"Ahh fuck Hee!! you literally took my breath away"
"and it's only the start."
He said carrying your naked body bridal style and plopped you down on his smooth bed, your body bouncing a little but then he pinned your hands above your head and licked your earlobe whispering,
"do you want it baby?" "Yes"
You nodded frantically which made a reassuring smile come up on his face. You sneaked your hands on his chest and trailed them down till it reached his black trousers. He was visibly and terribly hard. You teasingly caressed his inner thighs... biting your lips. Which made a hiss break out of him.
He immediately stopped your hands and with his other, he held your chin and strongly lifted your face up to meet his eyes.
"You're doing it on purpose...aren't you?"
"Really?.. But I didn't even do anything..I don't even know anything"
you pouted feigning innocence and tried to hold back your smile but he grabbed at your hair and pulled it. You yelped.
"Ahhh Hee!!" "pretty baby..."
he finally caressed your hair back. trailing his hands from your lips to your neck to your boobs to your stomach and to your cunt..dropping down on your legs. Admiring your virgin body for the last time. And kicked his trousers away and murmured,
"it's about time you get ruined for good.."
and then fucked you like an animal would, like a predator would to its prey before killing it. You cried your tears of popping your cherry, happy that you lost it to no other than Heeseung.
Cause there was no better man than Heeseung right?
but poor girl had no idea..what Heeseung really meant by ruining you for good.
—————
"So..when are you breaking up with her???" Sunghoon asked eyeing Heeseung, who seemed very stressed for someone who just completed his dare.
"Come on hyung, break up with her...do it fast..3 months have passed since you were given this bet and now you've finally completed it..so break things off soon... so that we can play another truth and dare."
Heeseung scoffed at Riki's words.
"This time I'm giving Riki, the dare to bedazzle the principal's mercedes without him knowing..."
"Yeah and I'll give you the dare to intentionally fail in all your end semester exams..how's that for you?"
Riki and Sunoo fought in the background but Heeseung's mind wandered somewhere else. He finally completed the dare...so why the fuck was he feeling bad for it?
"Look hyung..you're getting attached...but I know a way to break it....instead of thinking of the good times...think about all the worst times you two had! think of the cons of your relationship.."
Heeseung raised one brow and started thinking about it. He couldn't just think about you in a bad light but he still tried. When he thought negatively....more negative thoughts started flooding his brain. Fogging his brain, making him dizzy. Completely shutting off his human side.
"You're right." he finally spoke.
"I'm just getting attached!.. when in real, our relationship was nothing but a joke..she's...she's so fucking annoying bro..she literally texts me every two hours...sends me tons of things..forces me to visit new cafes and libraries with her..and makes me eat her and wear her handmade items i don't even like...she's so fucking fake..she's a pick me aswell..she acts a certain way to lure guys in...and she even gives me gold digger vibes."
The whole room fell silent. Nobody expected Hee to say that much.
"isn't he taking it too far???" Riki asked to which Jaeyun just nodded. Jaeyun saw this coming, ofcourse he did, since day one.
"And you know what? If not for the dare, if it was not for the fucking bet, I wouldn't even look in her direction to even kiss her, let alone fuck and date her..popular celibate cheerleader? My fucking foot—"
*CRASH*
the sound of glass crashing made Sunghoon and Jay look in the direction of where it came from and what they saw there, completely turned their face pale.
You stood there.
At the entrance of Heeseung's apartment. Your hands empty and the glass bowl you had with redvelvet cake destroyed completely on the floor. The crushed glass bowl mixed with the redvelvet cake, gave an illusion of blood.
As if a version of you just died, there and then.
The other guys also turned their head by reflex and......so did Lee Heeseung.
He...saw....you...the shock was too big... it took him seconds to process that you were there...standing at his apartment door.
"I'll come over today, I'll prepare your favorite red velvet cake..I'll bring it over okay???? Don't eat anything else"
that was what you said yesterday on the phone call with Heeseung..and Heeseung very much did not remember it at all. The words circled around in red letters around the silhouette of you standing there. His mind was dizzying itself.
On the treshhold you stood.
Your hands trembling. your feet shaking. Your eyes teary. Your vision blurry. You saw all of their faces but your eyes stopped at only one of them. Lee Fucking Heeseung.
you looked at him in the eye from a distance. Every time he made you laugh, every moan he tore out of you, everytime he helped you, everytime he taught you, everytime he protected you.
Was that all...a dare, a challenge, a bet to him?
All those memories started playing in the projector of your brain. Your tears fell without a single second miss.
"Would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"a darkness that consumes you?"
"get yourself a real man, Y/N-ah"
"I love you"
So this was.. what he meant by a real man, right?
A real man who treats you as an object, your relationship as a challenge, your virginity as a bet..to prove his manliness? Was your existence only a fucking game to him?
Wow. You wiped your tears and looked at him for the last time and said loud enough to reach him.
"I hate you, Lee Heeseung"
and ran from there without looking back.
every guy gulped down. Finally realising their game did cross a line this time..and hurt someone. But what was the point to realise when it was already too late?
"Go after her."
Jaeyun said to Heeseung without even looking at him. His eyes still on the door. Jaeyun somehow saw this coming from day one aswell.
Everyone looked at Heeseung to see he was weeping hard. He gave no expression, or tried to give none. But his red eyes, never-ending tears and the way his body was jerking....already was enough of an evidence.
Heeseung didn't wait any further and got up at the speed of light and ran..after you. He didn't care about anything.
Not when his friends shouted at him that he stepped on the glass and cake and his foot was bleeding with a sharp glass inside his flesh. Didn't stop when he made the whole corridor bloody with his bare glass cut foot. His eyes just searched for you.
Your shrill voice ringing in his ear like a haunted melody.
"Hee..please.." "Heeseung ah.."
"what crimes are you planning to commit, Mr. Lee?"
"I love you too"
He ran to the roads and called out your name. "Y/N??????"
"L/N Y/N!!!!????? WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU BABY!!!????"
"Please come back Y/NNNN!!!!!!" He cried harder at your name.
The passerbys looked at him like was some sort of crazy...... and to some extent, they were right too. He moved his head here and there, limped with his bloody foot and asked every person...if they've seen his girlfriend, the love of his love...but noone knew.
And he spent the whole night, walking, barefoot, bleeding hard, in search of you, like a madman.
——————
while you sat at the edge of an abandoned street. Hugging your knees. You cried hard. Till your knees were drained with the tears. You sobbed and hugged yourself..because who else did you have?
The person you loved, trusted the most was Heeseung..and he betrayed you..he broke your heart...he broke your fucking trust.
Your world was tilted upside down. You blamed all the times you felt something was off between you two but shrugged it away. You blamed that one time Wonyoung told you to be careful of Heeseung and you accused her of being jealous of you.
Cause you saw nothing wrong with Heeseung. To you, Heeseung was the most perfect man to ever exist.
But your delusion finally broke off..in the most worst way possible.
What was the point of living now, anyway?
What happened broke you to your core, shook all your inner worlds and destroyed your confidence and willingness to live to the point you saw no motive of continuing to live this life.
A new fountain of tears came when you realised you can't just stop living this life. You can't just die. That the msiery you were given to, were fated to, you had no escape from it.. than living it.
Life was unfair to the good ones...always.
—————
next morning,
you woke up and got ready for classes.. cause despite everything that happened. You couldn't bail on your grades, your academics, your parents still had high hopes from you and you couldn't afford to disappoint them too.
You arrived home late yesterday so every girls were asleep already and when you woke up, all of them headed for early classes so nobody really was there for you..
You headed for the University anyway.
Chaewon, Wonyoung along with the rest of the girls quickly ran to you when they spotted you and gave you a big group hug. You assumed everyone knew about the bet and breakup news already.
Good. You didn't want to be associated with Heeseung anymore aswell.
"I'm sorry Wonnie..you were right..it was my fault..I was blinded.."
"It wasn't your fault at all!..if anyone was at fault...it was that Lee!..he will really go to depths of hell for the act he has just pulled!!!"
Wonyoung said and patted your back while the other girls also cuddled you and took you to cafeteria to make you eat something.
—————
when you opened your locker for your books, your eyes widened. There were almost more than 10 bouquets. You picked one and they were all from Heeseung's friends/teammates.
"Hello Y/Niee..it was our fault, we were the ones who encouraged captain to do this dare..please forgive him."
"Hey love Jaeyun here..I gave him your name for the dare..I didn't think it would turn this serious in the end. I'm truly sorry. I know you wouldn't but if still possible even a bit, please forgive us and most specifically Heeseung hyung please."
"We have stopped playing that game and abandoned the tradition completely..please forgive hyung"
You scoffed.
As if Heeseung was a child incapable of making his own decisions. On top of that, His friends/teammates taking the blame only made him look even more entitled and arrogant.
you headed for your class.
————
You entered it. But noone was inside. You still placed your bag on the chair and pulled out your phone, about to call either Subin or Yoonchae, whether this class was cancelled.
just then you heard the door lock.
You turned around to spot...Lee Heeseung.
Wow. You froze. As if your day wasn't going miserable enough.
He looked at you. His eyes puffed and red, he stood with the suport of a bench, his foot had a bandage, he looked miserable.
But why would you care?
He was the reason of your misery too.
You folded your hands above your chest and chuckled. Was he faking an injury to gain sympathy?
You completly stopped seeing him as a human, someone capable of having feelings or emotions... so now everything he did, looked like a dare....a challenge to you.
His eyes softened when he saw you and he started limping towards you.
"y/niee—" "don't dare to come near me."
He stopped in his tracks. This was your first time you ever rejected him from coming close to you.. it hit like a fucking arrow to his heart...but he knew he deserved it.
"Just because your friends apology ideas didn't work so now you're finally here showing your fucking face!!???"
Heeseung knitted his brows . "What do you mean??" you scoffed.
The same good boy act again. You fucking loathed it
"Come FUCKING ON Heeseung..stop pulling the innocent guy's act when you know you forced your friends to take blame and apologise in your behalf!!!"
"I don't.. trust me"
he didn't. In reality, Heeseung had no idea his friends planned this.. cause.. his mind was on you since yesterday evening.
"Lying again..but it's okay..I don't wanna talk to you anyway..so I'll just go.."
You went to the door and tried to open it but unfortunately it was locked and Heeseung had the key. You extended your hand and with no emotions present..said
"Give me the key"
He shook his head as NO like a child. "I won't..not until you hear me..please..love..hear me out..just once"
"What's there to hear about Lee Heeseung? Is it not true that I was a dare to you? Is it not fucking true that you were just there to take my virginity? Is it not fucking true that you found my entire presence annoying???"
"IS IT NOT TRUE THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS A FUCKING JOKE TO YOU?!!!???"
You shouted and your tears started trickling down your cheek. Your eyes getting red and blurry. Heeseung's tears came out flowing looking at you like this.
You were a girl full of love and he made you like this, he sobbed harder.
How will he ever forgive himself for what he made you become?
He destroyed you, the lover girl in you.
He walked slowly towards you and you wiped your tears, sniffing, and extended your hands for the key. He dropped them in your hands.
But what he did next was unexpected.
He dropped on his knees. and lowered his head until they touched your sandals on top of your feet.
You froze. and looked down to see his face completely touching your foot. His chocolate brown fluffy hair making it unable to see if he was crying or not but you felt his tears and his lips on your flesh.
His plump lips made contact with your skin and he kissed your feet.
You couldn't move like this so you tried to hold him by his shoulder and get him up. "Lee Heeseung get up..don't pull this on me—"
"I know I was wrong and there is no justification to any of my actions. Yes it was a dare. Yes it started as a challenge but trust me I never planned to hurt you and turn you like this..please forgive me..please forgive me y/n!"
He rose from your foot and looked up at you, still on his knees. He gently held your thighs to support him from falling down.
"I'm sorry..*sob* I love you *sob* I still do *sob* please forgive me"
You held his collar and grabbed him..lifting his face a little closer to you.
"I loved you Lee Heeseung..I loved you"
Your tears fell between your words, the tears dropping from your cheek to Heeseung's cheek mixing with his own tears. You sobbed maintaining the eye contact and shook your head.
"You shouldn't have done that.."
He sobbed harder at your words, his nose red, breathing heavily and finally lowered his head.
"I know...*sob* I'm *sob* I'm sorry love"
he again lifted his head to look at you, his eyes glossy, face dripping from tears. "Please forgive me." He joined his hands and begged to you, lowering his head.
Your sobs stopped at that. You backed away from him and wiped your tears. turning your face straight, getting rid of any emotion that leaked through. You were not falling for his act again.
"Open the door." "Y/N—baby—please—"
"Open. the. door. Lee Heeseung" he lowered his head and sobbing hard inserted the key and the door opened.
"Baby —"
when you tried to go out he reached for your hand. You yanked it away, hard, which made him fall back onto a wall. He hissed in pain and saw your disappearing figure go.
He fucked up big time...
—————
"It must be so humiliating to save your virginity till the last only to lose it to a fuckboy like Heeseung..who didn't even take your relationship seriously and took it as a joke..its totally Heeseung's fault."
"Yea she could've gotten much better guys.. it's his fault!"
"As if Heeseung doesn't have a dozen girls lined up for him..your yn is nothing special.!!"
freshman fanboys and fangirls of you and Heeseung's argued over who was in the wrong and right. while you heard them with tears in your eyes behind the door while Heeseung heard them when he bent down to pick his phone that fell.
your "destroyed relationship" was their idea of "hot topics."
——————
Next day—
You were going to the cafeteria through the yard route with your girls when Heeseung popped out of nowhere and held your wrist.
"Y/N please..listen to me—" he started begging, making a scene infront of everyone. Embarrassment came up your face when U saw everyone looking at your view.
"Heeseung please.. let's not do this right now"
"You always say this.. then never talk to me ..please Y/Niee "
"Leave her dude the hell is your problem..? she's not your girl anymore" Wonyoung made a disgusted face and pulled you closer to her. Heeseung glared at her
"Whether she is mine or not..you are noone to decide that."
soon it started raining, everyone ran to the cafeteria, Heeseung still had your wrist held. "please Y/N—"
"do you want to hurt me more Lee!!? If yes, then let's get wet in the rain together!"
at that he immediately loosened his grip.
You quickly entered the cafe following your girls but Heeseung stood there and shouted.
"I won't move from here..if you don't talk to me!"
Now everyone was inside the building while only Heeseung stood outside, alone in the heavy pouring rain and thunderstorms. Everyone looked at him and then you and started whispering things.
throught the glass wall of the cafeteria, he looked straight at you, his bangs..wet coming over his eyebrows, his clothes complety drenced.
You didn't back off aswell. You sat directly opposite to him in a distance and maintained the intense eyecontact.
His friends started tensing up. "Hey Yn.. could u please just make him a false hope that you'll talk to him so he comes in????"
Jay said rubbing his temple looking at his friend, he knew Heeseung was gonna get high fever out of it.
Chaewon also bit her lips and suggested. "YN, maybe you should—"
"I won't." You said firm, no double opinions while your gaze still stayed at the man who was drenched infront of you.
Heeseung saw you sit comfortably with your friends, looking at him and not showing an ounce of care for him.
Awh my baby..
even after that, the love he always said he had for you only seemed to double.
..he still saw whatever behind that eye that you were trying to hide.
from then on, you regularly got parcels to your name of flowers, particulary red roses, notes, I love you letters, sorry letters, sweets, cake, chocolates and snacks, teddies, plushies.
You gave the edibles to your friends to eat and gave the flowers to any stranger you passed by..
while you kept all the notes, I love you letters, and sorry letters in a box..
to throw it one day.. obviously..you were sure of it..
But were you trying to deny something that was already inevitable the moment you two met?
——————
you were walking through the corridors to reach the library when you heard a chuckle. A chuckle of someone very familiar. You turned your head to the left to spot Heeseung.....smiling? Your brow raised. Wow. but your surprise only doubled when you heard a girl's chuckle aswell.
You squinted your eyes and spotted a girl, she shared classes sith you and Heeseung, she was sitting beside Heeseung.
"Oh you're so funny! Hee!..!!!" she said giggling and squealing as she hit on his chest. Heeseung also laughed showing his pearly whites while he roamed his hands in his hair.
You felt like puking at the sight. It was so disgusting and it formed something very ugly and terrible inside you, to the point if you would've stayed longer..you would throw up there and then.
So you walked away.
Laughing with a new girl while I just received an "i love you" letter today from him..?
Oh Lee Heeseung.....such a fucking womanizer you are
—————
you were closing your locker when you saw Heeseung approaching you with the same sad, pitiful and depressed look on his face.
As if he wasn't laughing with some bitch hours ago..
talk about duality.
Upon seeing him come towards you, you just wanted to disappear and luckily Subin came towards you with some stuff.
"Hey Y/Nie—" "hey Subin oh my god I missed you!!!!!"
You quickly went up to him and wrapped your arms around his neck giving him a tight unexpected hug.
Subin and Heeseung both froze at that. Subin knitted his brows cause he wasn't expecting that at all. You parted from the hug and looked him in the eye.
"You know..now I get why people said we should marry eachother..you've gotten really handsome.."you said smiling at Subin and pinched his cheeks. Subin became flustered at that and grabbed you by your waist, pulling you closer. "You think so?"
"Ofcourse I do" you said and gave a feather-light peck on his right cheek.
Ouch. That stabbed Heeseung in the heart. If there was any sight he despised the most. It was the idea of you with some other guy.
He almost felt like he couldn't breathe and slowly went out of the frame, forcibly rubbing both his eyes to erase what he just saw.
Another man's hands on your waist, your lips on another man's cheek.
Pack it up..this was unbearable for him.
"Hey..do you wanna do a collab singing on the Uni festival day???" Subin asked you with hope in his eyes. And who were you to say no?
"Yes sure I will"
—————
UNI FESTIVAL DAY
the lights buzzed around the campus as everyone laughed and gathered around the main stage where the performances were going to start now.
you and Subin had the last performance.
You and Chaewon cheering when Wonyoung had a dance performance with Yujin and Rei. Then Chaewon also gave a magic show performance. Along with Riki's solo dance performance.
According to the setlist, it was the time for your performance now. You looked at Subin who nodded and you both were about to walk away to the backstage when the stage lit up again...and you saw Heeseung? with the same girl he was laughing with that day..
Ew what the fuck.
the sight of them made you wanna leave instantly but you were curious of what they prepared.
"Are they having a performance of making out or what?"
you said in your mind but soon widened your eyes when you realised it was just not in your mind and you actually said those words out loud.
Chaewon and Wonyoung suppressed their laugh at your reaction. Soon Heeseung took off his shirt, making the whole crowd of his fangirls and even fanboys go crazyy. "Are they performing a sextape?" Chaewon asked seriously, and at this point you were ready to believe anything.
"Hello Everyone!!! I'm Miranda and this is my guy Heeseung.!"
Her guy?
Your brows raised at the words and you crossed your arms watching whatever was gonna happen. Still noticing how Heeseung was shy on the stage, trying to play nonchalant.
"So here is a blank page and I'll make the portrait of his body, the perfectly built body in less than a minute on this blank page" the whole crowd cheered in anticipation.
"Come on..sit here..Hee" Miranda said while she pushed Heeseung back a little to the chair by touching his naked bare chest.
Wow..the touching along with the nickname..
He really moved on from you. Good. Good for him. Good for me too.
You didn't need such a guy anyway.. the one who previously betrayed you and played with your feelings.
Lee fucking Heeseung. I hate you even more now.
true to miranda's words, she did draw the exact portrait in less than a minute. You tensed. You looked at Subin who reassured you that they were gonna win no matter what.
It was your turn now.
You two went on the stage and all the lights and cameras panned at you both. Subin smiled and went forward.
"Hello Everyone, today Lim Subin and L/N Y/N will present you a song called—"
"We don't talk anymore." the crowd turned tensingly silent when you murmured. and so did Lee Heeseung.
"Music please.."
And the song started. First Subin's part which everyone listened to with patience as...he was quite of a good singer.
"We don't talk anymore.........^^^^^^"
You looked at subin when he sang this part. He sang so well....as if he mourned someone he didn't talk to anymore. But you didn't have much time to think before your part came.
You grabbed your mic and looked straight at the crowd, in the middle stood Lee Heeseung in black, his eyes focused on you, his gaze piercing enough to make you uncomfortable and nervous, even from there.
and you sang like a woman who went through a life changing divorce..cause the feelings were somewhat similar.
"I just hope you're lying next to somebody. Who knows how to love you like me. there must be a good reason that you're gone. Every now and then I think you might want me to come show up at your door. but I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong."
from the corner of your eyes, you saw Miranda come at Heeseung's side to observe your performance. That scene made your voice go even deeper and lower..perfectly aligning with the melody, captivating the crowd and the judges in.
Subin looked at you deeply, taking in your beauty and the way a certain strand of your hair moved which made you look even prettier than you already were.
He liked you. Had the biggest crush on you since forever. And that will be his secret to you forever.
"Don't wanna know if you're looking into her eyes. if she's holding onto you so tight. the way i did before. i overdosed. should've known your love was a game. now I can't get you out of my brain..oh it's such a shame".
The last line broke you into half laugh, half scoff. The irony of the situation and how it matched the song perfectly.
The crowd was mesmerized, Subin felt proud... but only Heeseung noticed why your eyes were glossy with tears that you were trying to mask by smiling occasionally..
..and also knew the reason for those tears was him. Heeseung himself.
Subin and You concluded with the last line.
"We don't talk anymore like we used to do~"
and you two won the trophy too, by coming first place.
————
after the festival celebration, it was now the time to go back to your dorms, you sighed when you saw all your girls busy with their boyfriends, talking and kissing them, living in the moment. it reminded you of your times...with a certain someone but you quickly shook your head.
There was no benefit in reminiscing on what already passed.
So you started searching for Uber...but your network was being trashy. You hissed and decided to walk back home. Sighing when you realised that,.. it indeed was quite far from here but you still walked anyway cause what else would you do?
You walked for about 10 minutes before a ferrari stopped beside you. you rolled your eyes when you already knew who the car belonged to. You didn't stop walking.
In the end, the ferrari owner, Heeseung had to step out and grab you by your wrist. His touch instantly made you annoyed.
"Get inside the car." "NO."
"Love please.."
"you're NOT my boyfriend Lee Heeseung..stop acting like one"
you yanked his hands away and started walking again, more like stomping away.
He suddenly came infront of you and picked you up bridal style. "You leave me no choice love" you started moving and hit his chest multiple times but he didn't drop you or anything until he placed you right infront of the car door, opened the car door and shoved you in. Forcefully.
"Heeseung you can't force me— you bitch I will sue you—"
suddenly a loud thunderstorm came and it started raining all of a sudden, as if it was also plotting your bad day with Heeseung. Heeseung also sat inside the car but it was raining so terribly that there was no way to drive in it. Unless he wanted to take a risk, which he could've if he was alone, but not with you.
You just rolled your eyes. "If you're not gonna drive just let me get out" but before the whole sentence could even leave your mouth. Heeseung locked your door from his side.
You scoffed. "You really have a kink for trapping and ruinng things, don't you?" He just swirled his tongue inside his cheek at your words.
His eyes moved up and down to your body. Your dress was quite revealing which he didn't like the entire time when guys looked at you but now that you were alone with him..this short little revealing dress was doing things to him. And oh god with your fucking fire mouth that you were spitting lava from..made you even hotter..
Heeseung tried but he was a man anyway...and this was the girl he loves infront of him. You were looking outside the window observing the rain when you felt Heeseung get too quiet, almost no sound and looked back to see him checking out your body, eyefucking it.
Out of reflex, your legs closed and rubbed together but you still called him out. "Aren't you such a pervert? Eyefucking your ex when you already have a new girlfriend??"
Heeseung scoffed. "I don't have a girlfriend..I don't know what the fuck you're talking about"
"You know nothing babe, you always know nothing but still manage to do and ruin everything." He sighed.
"Ok I've said it multiple times and I'll say it again, I'm sorry for what i did. Yes it was my fault and their fault, there shouldn't have been such a game in the first place, so we stopped now, and i shouldn't have started anything like this or even approach you with an evil intention..but i did and for that..I'm sorry."
"but I just wanted you to know. That not all of them were fake and some were genuine from my side, like the i love you i said, the way i cared for you, i only realised how deep and real my love was for you when you left me...please come..already"
his voice got lower and lower as he lowered his chin, not wanting to make eye-contact out of shame.
"It's okay..I've found a better man anyway" lie. you didn't find anyone in particular but you had nothing to do and he deserved it anyway. Heeseung's sad expression vanished and he quickly lifted his chin and to your level. With gritted teeth, he said,
"Oh yeah?found a better man..how's that for you?"
"just like how it is for you..lee"
"you don't have to rub it in my face you know."
You scoffed. "Says the one who has been rubbing this shit on my face from a long time."
The escalating argument made you both rise from your seats a little towards eachother and before you knew it. You guys were close. Heeseung looked at you, completely turned on now.
Your ragebaiting only fueled his hunger.
He grabbed you by your neck and pulled you closer. Your faces inches apart, one wrong move and you'll kiss. He looked deep into your eyes and murmured.
"Do you really know what it means to rub it in your face?"
He said breathless. The sexual tension reaching its peak, the rain sounds only making the atmosphere even more sensual. You both looked at eachother's lips and you didn't know who moved first, but presumably you both did at the same time.
Cause your lips clashed at the same time with eachother's.
And it was nothing sort of gentle or full of love.
It was hunger. Hunger of two needy lovers who got to taste eachother after a long time.
He quickly pulled you on his lap, holding your face with both of his hands and pulling your face suffocatingly close to his, making his tongue reach the very back of your mouth. He kissed you like he hasn't eaten anything since you two broke up.
You got out of breathless and pushed him back to breathe, coming close again, this time he moved agonizingly slow, making you feel his lips dance against yours, the way his warm saliva attached with yours, forming a string. You pulled at his hair and he digged his nails in your waist flesh.
His lips then moved down to your neck and he gave a vampire bite, almost drawing out blood, and sucked harder and deeper at the spot, giving a hickey to last for weeks.
He knew you had a thing for vampires.
He came back on your lips and kissed you hard, not wanting to stop feelings your lips on his, even for a second. Then he bit your lower lip and slowly started opening his black shirt.
"Let me show you what this man can give you that no other man can."
Whe he threw his shirt, you saw his pecs and abs up close..after a very long time.. you touched them, roaming your hands around and suddenly without even processing beforehand, you blurted out.
"They're mine." Hee just chuckled at your words. "They've always been yours.." "liar..I know you're hooking up with the othe girl.."
Heeseung knitted his brows, extremely confused. You just rolled your eyes. "That Miranda girl..or whatever her name is"
That broke Heeseung into a laughter. "What's so funny?" "funny is that Miranda is my old friend, almost like a sibling to me, and she already has a long term boyfriend she has planned to marry."
Crimson crept up your cheeks. What the fuck.
He caressed one strand of your hair. "What about you? Do you really want Subin's genes in your kids..and not mine??" he tugged a bit harder at your hair, his possessiveness coming through.
"Maybe..prove to me..how yours are better than his" Heeseung smirked and started undressing you. "Your wish is my command."
and then he made love to you, under the rain, in his car, in his livingroom, on his couch, on his bed.
—————
You woke up by the sunlight blinding your eyes, you squinted and opened your eyes to see Heeseung laying beside you, fully awake..but his hair still messy from the night. That's when it hit you.
You just slept with your ex.
you panicked a little and roamed your eyes around. He noticed it and grabbed your shoulders to anchor you. "Hey hey..this is my place."
His place, that day, redvelvet cake. It cut open that old memory.
"I know..my place is the one that gave you such a big trauma..but I don't want it to be remembered like that in your heart."
He held both your hands with his one and with the other gently held your chin and looked at you,
"what's already done, can't be undone but I can promise that it won't happen again in the future..y/n..I don't know if I'm worthy or deserving of it or not... "
"But can you give me a second chance?"
"A second chance to fix this? Fix us?"
"I won't try to be perfect or the best, but I'll be real, honest and always there for you...trust me even if the previous relationship was built on evil intentions...my love was still pure in it..and that day all those hate words I said, I meant none of them.... so please?"
You, quiet all the time when he spoke, finally replied.
"And what if you disappoint me again?"
"If such misery ever happens again..then just grab a knife and stab me in the heart..I'll die happily if it's from you."
Heeseung replied..but then he waited for your response but you seemed to be lost in thinking.
"Love?"
"Only if you play one game with me.."
Heeseung chuckled at that. "Oh yeah..which one?"
"Truth and Dare."
that broke you two into laughter, he rapidly shook his head. "I'm never letting you play that if it's my version." He hugged you and murmured.
"I'll try to be a better boyfriend, I promise." You bit your lips and looked at him.
"Be a little mean and more possessive over me too..it satisfies my kink"
"oh yeah?" He grabbed your hair but pulled you close to give a quick peck in which you both smiled.
summary: lee heeseung was an asshole. you had decided that. having to work with him on a group project made things a hundred times worse. but when a heart longing to experience love for the first time meets someone more than willing to give it, the line between irritation and something deeper starts to blur.
wc: 37.9k (i’m sorry)
warnings: reader is completely inexperienced, angst, miscommunication, reader falls too quickly and gets flustered very easily, kinda slow burn but not really, heeseung plays basketball but it’s barely mentioned, heeseung calls reader “princess” a lot, kissing, making out, features wonyoung (ive), yunjin (le sserafim), beomgyu (txt), sieun (stayc), reader cries a lot
notes: it’s here!! i'm SO sorry this took so long, i was having issues with tumblr :( this was originally only supposed to be 20k words… idk what happened. but it’s a rollercoaster and i love it!!! have fun reading! <3
you had heard of him before you ever saw him.
everyone knew his name- whispered in dorm hallways, watched at games, the life of the party. a reputation built on charm, late-night hookups, and the kind of confidence that made girls fall to his feet with every word he said. you never cared to pay him any mind. but today, you walked into class and found him sitting in your seat.
lee heeseung. just your luck.
you hesitated for half a second before walking up to him. he was hunched over his phone, tapping out a message, looking about as invested in being here as a teenager at their grandma’s bingo game.
"that’s my seat."
his eyes flicked up at you, slow and lazy, like you’d interrupted something important. he gave you a once-over- casual, unreadable- and then, just as plainly, looked back at his phone.
"doesn’t have your name on it."
you exhaled sharply. of course.
"i’ve been sitting here all semester."
"congrats." he didn’t even look at you this time. "find another spot."
and just like that, every rumor, every complaint you’d heard about him settled into place. arrogant. entitled. exactly the kind of guy you had no patience for.
fine. whatever. you weren’t about to argue with someone who clearly wasn’t worth the energy. wordlessy, you drop into the seat beside him, pull out your notebook, and act like he doesn’t exist.
he didn’t pay you any mind after that, instead shifting so he was leaned back against the seat, his feet kicked out in front of him. you wondered what made heeseung so popular with the ladies. sure, he was attractive. that much was undeniable. sadly.
but you had barely had a ten second interaction with him, and he had already managed to piss you off.
you bit the inside of your cheek, holding back a sigh as you waited for the professor to show up. the universe had to have been out for you today. you woke up late, you’re out of your go-to breakfast bars, and you’re sitting next to lee heeseung in class. you were silently praying nothing worse could happen.
you hadn’t signed up for this. you were just trying to get through this class and move on with your day. but here you were, next to the campus playboy himself, the guy who never seemed to take anything seriously, the guy who had a different girl on his arm every weekend.
you tried not to look over at him. you really did. but he practically radiated attention. his messy hair fell perfectly in place, and his broad shoulders took up way too much space for someone who was so annoying.
heeseung wasn’t talking to you, but you could feel his presence next to you, and it was somehow more distracting than if he had been talking to you. the way his fingers tapped on the desk, the faint cologne smell that wafted over to you, even the way his shoes shifted against the floor- it was like he was intentionally making everything around him more noticeable.
you hated how easily he commanded the room. you hated that even now, you were aware of him more than anyone else. and of course, the universe had to pick today to make you sit right next to him. of course, it had to be this class, the one you hated the most. the one you dreaded attending every single day.
you were so deep in thought that you barely noticed when your professor- dr. kim- walked in, snapping you out of your spiral. he glanced up from his notes, then scanned the room with a smile.
“alright, everyone,” dr. kim began, “i’ve got the group project assignments here. please try to work well with your partners, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.”
your eyes widened slightly at his words, gulping as your eyes flickered down to your notebook. group project? there had been no mention of this before. or maybe there was, and you just forgot.
there was one thing about you. you hated group projects. they were the bane of your existence. you preferred to work alone, at your own pace, and not having to be stressed out by a freeloader or have awkward study sessions that consisted of deafening silence.
"and for the final pair…" dr. kim’s voice broke through your haze, "y/n and heeseung."
fuck. of course, the universe was never on your side.
your eyes shot to him automatically, your stomach doing a flip that had nothing to do with excitement. his eyes flickered to meet yours, his expression unreadable. and then, a quirk of his lips and a tilt of his head. like he was observing you. you groaned internally, wishing for nothing more than for the floor to swallow you whole, turning your gaze back to your notebook.
the professor was still talking, but all you could focus on was how you'd somehow ended up in this mess. you barely met this guy, he was an ass, and now you had to work on a project with him.
“guess we better get used to each other, huh?” heeseung’s voice was low and casual, breaking the silence between you two.
you forced a smile, nodding at him, “i guess.” you were already dreading the next few weeks.
you sat in silence for the rest of the class. he didn’t speak to you, and you didn’t speak to him. you wondered if things would’ve gone differently if your morning had gone better, or if heeseung hadn’t been such an asshole.
you couldn’t wait to tell wonyoung and yunjin about how shitty your day was already.
as dr. kim wrapped up, you sat there, wondering just how you were going to survive this. there was no way to escape the fact that you were going to have to work with heeseung. you only hoped you’d survive it with your sanity intact. he had already proved just how arrogant he could be.
the moment dr. kim dismisses class, you’re up out of your seat, dying to get out of this hell-sent class and to the comfort of your go-to café with your friends. you’re so close to the door when you hear his voice- smooth and casual, like he owns the place.
“hey, y/n,” heeseung calls, and you freeze, your hand still on the strap of your bag. you turn to face him, trying to hide the frustration written all over your face.
“yeah?” you reply, fighting to keep your tone neutral, but he can hear the hint of annoyance in it anyway.
he flashes that signature smirk of his, leaning casually against the desk like he owns the whole room. “we’re gonna need to exchange numbers for the project,” he says, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “so we can work around my basketball stuff, y’know? i can’t really be falling behind.”
you feel your eye twitch. of course anything other than class would be more important to him. the star player of the basketball team is unable to commit to a school project.
you push the annoyance aside, instead reaching into your back pocket and pulling out your phone. “sure,” you mutter, handing it to him after opening the phone app. you can’t help but notice how his fingers brush against yours, the touch sending a small chill through you.
he taps a few things into your phone before handing it back. “i’ll text you later,” he says, his smile a little too knowing.
you can already feel the heat rising in your cheeks, but you refuse to give him the satisfaction of letting him see it. you nod curtly and turn on your heels, heading straight out the door.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
“and then i woke up late! nothing is working out today!” you whisper-shout, dramatically letting your head fall into your hands as wonyoung watches you with a smile, yunjin scrolling on her phone and only halfway listening to your angry rant.
“so, how’s that class going?” wonyoung asks, her tone casual as she stirs her drink. “you still surviving?”
you had told them how much you hated your history class, practically having a complaint about something every time you attended it.
“barely,” you mumble, finally lifting your head from your hands. “we got assigned group projects today.”
wonyoung puffs out a breath of air, squinting her eyes. “brutal. who’d you get paired with?”
you glance at her, your face blank, silently hoping she can see the despair in your eyes as you groan, throwing your head back in annoyance before mumbling, “lee heeseung.”
you hear yunjin gasp slightly, looking back to see her finally staring at you with wide eyes before slamming her phone down on the table.
“wait… heeseung?” she asks, a disbelieving scoff slipping past her lips. “as in the heeseung who’s like… the playboy basketball player?”
you nod slowly, suddenly feeling way more nervous than you’d like to admit, “yep. that heeseung.”
wonyoung laughs softly, pushing your shoulder with her arm. “no way. the universe really hates you, doesn’t it?”
you glare at her, flipping her off with an eye roll, “it’s not funny. i’m gonna slam my head into the nearest wall.”
“let’s not do that,” yunjin shakes her head, placing her chin on her palm as she tilts her head at you, “what’s the big deal, anyway? he’s just a player.”
you sigh, playing with the rim of your cup while shaking your head, “he was an absolute ass this morning. it was like… the worst first impression of anyone i’ve ever had. i actually can’t deal with that for a whole project on top of the class already being a shithole.”
wonyoung leans back in her chair slightly, looking at you with an amused smile. “he can’t be that bad. maybe you’re just having a bad day and he happened to rub you the wrong way.”
you roll your eyes, but her words don’t make you feel any better. “yeah, sure.”
“plus,” yunjin adds, leaning forward with a smirk, “maybe you can have some fun. i mean, make the most of it. you’re working with lee heeseung. most girls would kill to be in your spot.”
you stare at them both, you lips parted in slight disbelief. “yeah, well they can have him.”
the two girls smile at you, clearly more entertained by your suffering and how overdramatic you were. you bring up another topic, eager to get the attention off of you and your project from hell, instead shifting the focus to yunjin’s project in music theory.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
wonyoung was wrong. horribly wrong. heeseung was that bad.
you check your phone for the fifth time in the last ten minutes, the glowing screen mocking you with the time. heeseung was supposed to be here half an hour ago. thirty whole minutes.
you sigh, your fingers tightening around your phone. you had already texted him- a simple, are you still coming?- but it was staring back at you with “delivered” right under it.
your fingers tap against the table impatiently as you stare down at the open laptop in front of you. the library is quieter than usual, the hum of low voices and the occasional rustle of pages filling the space. you consider packing up and leaving, your hands beginning to collect the pencils and highlighters you had set out around you.
“you’re pretty dedicated to this, aren’t you?”
you don’t even need to look up to know who it is. finally.
slowly, you lift your gaze, leveling heeseung with an unimpressed stare. he’s standing there, hands stuffed into the pockets of his hoodie, looking completely unbothered. like he hasn’t just left you waiting for half an hour.
“you’re half an hour late,” you deadpan.
heeseung grins, like he finds your irritation amusing. “technicalities.”
you scoff, shaking your head. “you said we’d meet at six.”
“yeah, and i meant it,” he says, smirking at the way you roll your eyes. “it’s just that… time is a social construct.”
is he fucking serious.
you gape at him, your eyebrows furrowed. “are you seriously trying to use philosophy as an excuse?”
“would you rather me lie?” he asks, finally sitting, slinging his backpack onto the table.
“i’d prefer you actually care about this project. it’s a huge part of our grade, heeseung.”
he waves a dismissive hand, pulling his laptop out of his backpack. “relax, princess. i’m here now, aren’t i?”
you gulp at the nickname, turning your head back to your laptop to open up the assignment. “barely,” you mumble.
heeseung chuckles, enjoying your annoyance. “fine. i had practice, it ran later than expected.”
“that’s all you had to say,” you reply, your eyes flickering up to meet his, “and a text would’ve been nice.”
“can’t really text when i’m on the court, princess.” he shoots back, tilting his head with a smile.
you exhale sharply, already regretting ever agreeing to meet with him. “can we just start? we’re already behind schedule.”
luckily, he agrees, his eyes drifting to his own laptop.
you sigh, your own attention drifting back to your laptop. all you can do is hope that things begin to go smoother than this at some point. because right now, you’re considering slamming your head into your laptop or the table.
you try to focus, you really do. but it’s hard when every few minutes, heeseung is moving. drumming his fingers against the table, shifting in his seat, clicking his pen as he reads articles on his computer.
finally, you snap, your eyes looking up at him from your screen. “are you always this restless, or do you just have an allergy to being productive?”
heeseung blinks at you, lips quirking up like he finds your irritation entertaining. “nah, i’m just bored. this class is stupid.”
“why are you like this?” you roll your eyes, glaring at him. “even if this class is stupid, it’s still an important project.”
“like what?” he tilts his head, all faux innocence, completely ignoring your second statement. “charming? fun to be around?”
you scoff. “you were late. plus you were a dick this morning.”
heeseung chuckles, shaking his head lightly. “c’mon, princess. loosen up a bit. you’re making a big deal over nothing.”
“look, i had a shitty day. you’re not making it any better,” you mutter, scoffing again. a voice in the back of your head wonders if you’ve broken the world record for scoffing this much in five minutes.
heeseung leans forward, resting his chin on one hand. “i’m sorry. you know… i’m pretty good at relieving stress.”
your jaw drops. “excuse me?” you clear your throat, trying to ignore the way his words have a blush creeping up your cheeks, instead turning your attention back to your laptop. “just focus on your work, heeseung. we need to plan out who’s gonna do what part.”
you don’t miss how he tilts his head, a knowing smile on his lips as he clicks his tongue, nodding. “alright. just remember we have to work around my schedule.”
you let out a groan, your head rolling back as you look back towards him. “heeseung!”
he only laughs in response, shaking his head at how you get embarrassed when other students give you dirty glares.
“sorry,” you mumble softly, your eyes glaring at him. “focus.”
an hour later, you guys had made relatively good progress. you had divided tasks, and heeseung had done his work, for the most part. he still found every opportunity to get on your nerves, but at least he did so while being productive.
you both pack up in silence, swinging your bag over your shoulder. you spare him a glance, mumbling out a small, “bye, heeseung.”
just as you step outside, you hear the unmistakable sound of sneakers scuffing against the pavement behind you, “where you headed?”
you turn your head slightly to see heeseung strolling up beside you, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his hoodie as he looks down at you.
“my dorm,” you reply, shifting your bag higher on your shoulder, “it’s late.”
he nods, shrugging as he continues to walk next to you, “i’ll walk you.”
you stop in your tracks, turning to face him with narrowed eyes. “why?”
he tilts his head, raising his eyebrows slightly. “why not? i have nothing else to do.”
“because…” you search for a logical reason, but there really seems to be none. you blurt out the only excuse that comes to mind. “it’s late.”
he furrows his brows, falling in place beside you as you begin to walk again. “it’s 7:30.”
you glance at him, shrugging. “that’s considered late for some people.”
he smirks, tilting his head at you, an amused look on his face. “what if i just enjoy your company, princess?”
your face heats at the nickname, and you roll your eyes, quickening your pace. “we barely know each other.”
“well, i’d like to change that.” he keeps up effortlessly, long strides matching yours with ease.
you scoff, trying to ignore the affect his words have on you. “i think you like to get on my nerves, heeseung.”
he grins, nudging your shoulder lightly. “that too.”
you sigh, glancing at him before looking straight ahead. but you don’t tell him to leave. maybe a part of you deep down enjoys the company. maybe you could allow for a part of yourself to feel wanted if the campus playboy was walking you back to your dorm. and if your heart stumbles a little when he walks just close enough for your arms to brush, you choose to ignore it.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
the door clicks shut behind you, sealing you off from the rest of the world. you let out a breath you didn’t realize you were holding, pressing your back against the door as if that alone could ground you. it doesn’t.
your mind is still running, replaying the moments heeseung’s arms brushed against yours, or the cocky smirks he sent your way, or the remarks he would make to get under your skin.
with a frustrated groan, you push off the door and drop your bag onto your desk chair. you smush your cheeks with your hands, sighing, as if that will stop the warmth from creeping up your cheeks again.
heeseung is nothing but trouble. you know that. everyone knows that. a playboy who knows how to charm his way into girls hearts with cocky words and athletic skills that has anyone swooning. and yet… your stomach twists.
you shouldn’t like his attention. you shouldn’t feel special. heeseung flirts with everyone. that’s just how he was. so why was your stomach in knots? why was your mind replaying every interaction with him- no matter how insufferable he was?
you collapse onto your bed, staring up at the ceiling. you don’t know how to handle this. it’s not like you have experience. no boyfriend, no first kiss, hell, you haven’t even held hands with a guy romantically. the concept of flirting- especially with someone like heeseung, who’s it’s practically second nature to- is foreign to you. you don’t know whether you’re looking too deeply into things, or if there’s actually something there.
you turn onto your side, hugging your pillow. reading too many romance novels had truly skewed your perception of love. this wasn’t a movie. the playboy wasn’t going to fall for the girl in class. this was reality, and things didn’t work like that. sadly.
you’re overthinking it. reading too deeply into his words, his touches, his actions. but why does your heart speed up at the thought of him?
you sigh, squeezing your eyes shut and hoping to turn off your overactive brain. but instead, you feel that same flutter in your chest every time you think about him.
the sound of the door opening catches your attention, glancing behind you to see yunjin entering the dorm. her presence relives you slightly, knowing you’ll have a distraction from the storm of confusion in your brain right now. she sends a smile your way, kicking off her shoes and walking towards you.
"what’s going on?" she asks, raising an eyebrow as she surveys you curled up on your bed. "you look like you’re seconds away from ripping all your hair out.”
you laugh breathlessly, flopping on your back so you can look at her without straining your neck. “i’m fine.”
you watch as she smiles slightly, shaking her head and making her way to the edge of your bed, sitting down. “don’t lie. what is it?”
you hesitate, knowing full well what’s bothering you. but you can’t exactly tell yunjin, can you? she knew you better than anyone, knew how insecure you were about having no experience. she would tell you to wake up, and not to fall for his playboy antics. so you shrug, pursing your lips before you speak. “it’s just school. stuff is piling up, and i’m behind on a few assignments. i’m just overwhelmed.”
yunjin studies your face, not saying much. you can tell she doesn’t buy it, and for a second anxiety bubbles inside you at the thought that she knows, or that she’ll keep pushing. but she doesn’t. instead, she nods. “i get it. school’s been ass lately. you’re smart, though. you’ll figure it out.”
you nod, appreciating the way she doesn’t pry. pushing yourself on your elbows so you’re sitting up, leaning against the headboard, you smile. “well, we’ll see if i actually make it through the semester this time.”
she giggles, gesturing for you to move over as she cuddles up beside you. “if you don’t wanna talk about it, what about we watch tv? it could get your mind off of things. we could continue rewatching business proposal?”
you smile, your eyes lighting up at the mention of the show. “please, i can’t live without my daily dose of hari and taemoo.”
she laughs, turning on the tv and going to netflix. you feel a pang of guilt for lying to her, and her knowing that’s she’s lying. but yunjin is your closest friend, she won’t pressure you for answers, and knows when to stop digging. you shake your head slightly, pushing your anxieties to the back of your head. right now, you just need netflix and yunjin’s presence. everything else can come later.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
you tap your pen against the edge of your notebook, staring at the notes that made you want to rip your hair out. why you had to sit here and listen to your professor talk about smallpox for over an hour was unbeknownst to you.
plus, you hadn’t slept well last night. you and yunjin were up until 2 a.m., and when you finally decided to sleep, you couldn’t. your mind kept racing, your bed felt too uncomfortable, the room felt too hot. you didn’t feel like yourself.
and then he walked in. hands in his pockets, his backpack slung over one shoulder. he was late, of course he was. it should be annoying- it is annoying, he’s annoying- but for some reason,
something in your chest tightens. your fingers curl around your pen, forcing your eyes back to your notebook. this was not happening.
you’re just irritated. that’s all. he’s been an ass, he was late yesterday, he’s late today, and he walked in like he owns the place. while you’ve been sitting here for the past twenty minutes, writing down notes that are definitely going to be important for the project.
but then he slides into the seat next to you, the smell of his cologne wafting your way as he clears his throat. “what’d i miss?”
you turn, narrowing your eyes. “twenty minutes of lecture.”
“no shit, sherlock.” he replies, pulling a notebook out of his bag. “mind sending me those notes later?”
you shake your head with an eye roll, turning back to the front of the classroom. “this is why you need to show up on time.”
“c‘mon, princess,” he mumbles, a hand reaching out to tug at the one of the legs of your chair, “help a guy out.”
you gasp at the unexpected tug, turning to glare at him. “what the fuck? stop that.” he only tilts his head, shrugging with that same stupid smirk.
your stomach flips again, but this time, you focus on the irritation bubbling inside you. this is exactly why you would never fall for heeseung. because he’s insufferable. he’s rude. he’s never on time. he uses flirting as an excuse to get out of everything, to get girls to bow at his feet.
he chuckles, moving his hand away. “you’re annoyed.”
“of course i am, heeseung. leave me alone.” you mutter, scoffing as he only shakes his head playfully.
“y/n. heeseung.” dr kim. speaks, your body tensing as you turn towards the front of the classroom, meeting your professor’s expectant eyes. “is this something important you would like to share with the class? or would you like to keep bothering everyone with your banter?”
your cheeks immediately flush, your body running cold as all the heads in the classroom towards you two. you’ve never wanted the floor to swallow more than you did right now. you shake your head, your voice coming out quiet. “no sir, sorry about that.”
heeseung says nothing, simply nodding his head. you were going to kill him. “alright, then. anyway, as i was saying…” dr. kim speaks, continuing on with the lesson like nothing happened as you sit there in humiliation.
“so…” he begins.
“shut up.” you mumble back, your voice quiet as your eyes stay trained on your notebook, picking up your pen to continue writing down whatever nonsense your professor spills. you were pissed off now, all thoughts of entertaining the annoying boy sat next to you gone.
you didn’t know if he had realized how embarrassed you actually were, but he didn’t push. you watched him shift in his seat so he was facing the front of the classroom out of your peripheral vision, also beginning to jot down notes.
the rest of class drags on unbearably slow. you try to keep your focus on the lecture, but your mind buzzes with embarrassment, replaying the way dr. kim had called you both out in front of everyone.
when class finally ends, you don’t waste a second in shoving your notebook into your bag, slinging it over your shoulder, and making a beeline for the door. of course, you’re never quite quick enough.
heeseung appears next to you, falling in step beside you once again. “you’re really gonna ignore me after that?”
you scoff, refusing to look at him as you keep your gaze trained ahead. “that’s exactly what i’m gonna do.”
you hear him laugh, one that shows he clearly finds you entertaining. “it wasn’t that bad.”
you finally glance at him, an annoyed expression on your face. “we got called out in front of the entire class for arguing like little kids, heeseung.”
“and?” he grins, nudging your arm. “it was kinda cute. no big deal.”
you inhale sharply, turning away before he can catch the way your face heats up. “you are insufferable. not everyone is as popular as you, alright? i don’t appreciate that many eyes on me.”
he hums, tilting his head, as if he’s acknowledging your words. “where are you headed, anyway?”
“lunch,” you say automatically, before realizing your mistake.
a smirk creeps into his lips, adjusting his bag on his shoulder. “perfect. i’m hungry, too.”
“no.” you blurt out, your eyes snapping to his.
he feigns innocence. “no?”
“you are not coming with me, heeseung. i’ve dealt with you enough today.” you clarify, trying to make your expression as serious as you can, looking to your front again.
“why not?” he grins, clearly enjoying getting a rise out of you. “we’re partners, aren’t we? we need to work on our… chemistry.”
you groan, rubbing your temples. maybe if you ignore him, he’ll take the hint. he does not take the hint. he continues to walk next to you, ignoring the stares of other girls wondering why heeseung is walking around with you.
so now, much to your dismay, you find yourself exiting the building with heeseung beside you, practically- no, literally- inviting himself to lunch. and as much as you hate to admit it to yourself, your stomach is in knots at the thought of spending more time with him.
the walk is awfully quiet. heeseung doesn’t say a lot- much to your dismay. you wouldn’t say it’s peaceful, it was far from it. while heeseung may have been relaxed, just enjoying the walk, you on the other hand were losing it inside. caught between being annoyed at him or acknowledging whatever feeling was in your chest every time he was near.
it wasn’t like you couldn’t pretend what the feeling was. you knew what a crush felt like. but you didn’t want to pay it any mind. how could you have a crush on lee heeseung? how could you fall for someone this quickly? you had to have set a new record for yourself. you decided it was just the fact that you were yearning for any kind of romantic attention, and heeseung was providing that… kinda. calling you ‘princess’ wasn’t exactly flirting. but you had never had this before, were you just expected to not be flustered?
this feeling was treacherous, and you knew it. falling for the playboy was the last thing you wanted to do. you fidgeted with your hands, worries swirling around inside your head as you try to come up with an excuse that doesn’t make you seem like a touch-deprived college student. lost in your thoughts, you don’t notice the incoming cyclist until it’s too late.
before you can process what’s happening, a firm grip wraps around your wrist, yanking you backward just in time. your breath stutters, a small squeak leaving you as you crash into something- someone. the scent of his cologne is suddenly overwhelming, your hands instinctively grabbing onto his hoodie to ground yourself.
his arm is still around you, his body warm against yours, his grip on your wrist loosening, but not completely letting go. your heart pounds in your chest, and you don’t know if it’s from almost getting run over or him. you can feel his breath fanning lightly against your temple, his chest moving as he breathes in. was he always this built? you knew heeseung was strong, but you had never touched him.
“careful, princess,” he murmurs, voice lower than usual. “you trying to get yourself killed?”
you blink up at him, your lips parting, but no words come out. not when he’s this close, not when his arm is splayed across your back, his hand still holding onto your wrist lightly.
and that’s when it hits you. this is a crush. you like lee heeseung.
you pull away quickly, trying to ignore the warmth lingering on your skin as you clear your throat. “i- i wasn’t paying attention.” you stutter out, refusing to meet his gaze.
heeseung lets out a soft chuckle, shoving his hands into his pockets as he watches you, nodding lightly. “yeah, i noticed.”
you scowl, turning on your heel and stomping toward the café, hoping he doesn’t see the way your ears burn. he keeps up with you, and you can hear the smirk in his voice even when you don’t look at him. “so i don’t get a thank you?”
you roll your eyes, trying to fight the blush climbing up your cheeks as you turn your head to the side, never realizing how interesting the road was. “thank you,” you mutter, your voice too quiet he almost didn’t hear. but he hums, and that’s enough for you to know he won’t push further… hopefully.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
it’s been a week.
a week of trying to push away the way your heart speeds up whenever heeseung so much as looks at you. a week of acting like the casual touches and the teasing remarks don’t make your stomach flip. a week of trying to convince yourself you don’t like heeseung. a week of failing.
now at lunch, you’re sat with wonyoung and yunjin, the conversation flowing easily between them- an annoying professor, a party next weekend, overdue homework- but the words barely process.
your eyes are trained on heeseung across the cafeteria. the same place he always sits, with his team and friends, but now you can’t stop looking. he’s leaned back in his chair, laughing at something one of his friends said. he looks beautiful. you can admire his sharp jawline, or the way his adam’s apple moves when he throws his head back, laughing at a joke. and for some stupid, down bad reason, you can’t tear your eyes away.
you’re not even aware you’ve been staring until yunjin’s voice snaps you out of it. “you can’t be serious.”
your head snaps towards her, blinking in confusion. “what happened?”
she doesn’t say anything. instead she pursues her lips, tilting her chin slightly in heeseung direction with a quirk of her brow. “heeseung.”
your stomach drops, your mouth opening and closing as she waits for an answer. “it’s not like that,” you blurt, suddenly finding your untouched lunch very interesting.
yunjin doesn’t buy it. she crosses her arms, watching you closely. “then why are you staring at him like that? is this why you’ve been so out of it lately?”
silence. the air feels too thick, your face burning hotter by the second. you have no good excuse. no answer to her question, because that means you would have to admit it out loud. and you weren’t ready to do that. you hated how obvious you were being, how you were acting like every other girl he’s wrapped around his finger before now.
finally, wonyoung- who has been watching this exchange like it’s the most entertaining thing she’s seen all day- chimes in, "i wouldn’t blame you.”
you turn to her, your eyebrows raising. “what?”
she shrugs, stealing one of your fries before tossing it in her mouth. "i’m just saying, he’s hot. everyone knows that. you’ve been spending a lot of time with him because of your project. i mean… would it be the worst thing if something happened?”
your eyes widen more- if that’s even possible. but before you can get any words out, yunjin is speaking. she looks at her like she’s lost her mind, shaking her head quickly. "are you insane? don’t encourage this.”
"i’m just saying!" wonyoung laughs, holding her hands up in mock surrender. “you never know.”
yunjin scoffs, rolling her eyes dramatically. “no, we do know. heeseung is heeseung. an asshole.” she turns back to you, her expression softening slightly. "you just need to be careful.”
it’s the same thing she always says. it’s everything that you’ve been telling yourself. you just nod, too embarrassed that they found out to even speak.
silence lingers between the three of you. you look on the food in front of you, the other students walking by, the ground. but you can feel their eyes on you, like they’re waiting for you to acknowledge their words- to say anything.
wonyoung breaks the silence, picking at her nails, “i mean, it’s not like you have much experience- let me rephrase- you have no experience with this stuff.”
your head snaps towards her, your jaw dropped. “what the fuck?”
she smiles at you, shrugging. “i’m just pointing out the facts’ y/n. you get flustered by everything. you’re gonna fall too fast, especially with someone like him. that’s the reality for a romance virgin.”
as if this moment wasn’t already embarrassing enough. your face burns, glaring at her. “a romance virgin? what the fuck does that even mean?” you go quiet, realizing you don’t have a comeback to her words, because as much as you hate it, she’s telling the truth. so you resort to sighing, grabbing a fry and plopping it in your mouth. “you guys are so annoying.”
yunjin laughs, also stealing a fry from your plate. “we’re being realistic. and looking out for you.”
“i don’t even like him,” you mumble, your mouth filled with a bite of food, wonyoung wincing at the sight. you only flip her off in response.
she laughs, raising her eyebrows, “right. that’s why you were making heart eyes at him across the cafeteria. i’m surprised you didn’t raise up and start floating towards him.”
you gape at her, scoffing as you shove her shoulder. “fuck off! i was not!”
she doesn’t respond, but her and yunjin share a knowing look, smiles on their faces as they look back at you. you groan, pressing your hands against your face, “you guys suck. why are you torturing me?”
yunjin speaks, her smile already telling you she’s about to make things worse, “just saying, do you really want heeseung to be your first everything?”
you reach your hand over the table to smack her arm, practically glaring daggers at her as all she does is laugh. “yunjin! shut up!”
she just shrugs, fighting back more laughs as you sulk in your chair, arms crossed against your chest. "what? i’m looking out for you. i mean, at least he’ll be good, he knows what he’s doing.”
you decide to ignore her words, your cheeks burning as you look off to the side, sighing at how wonyoung laughs at her words. “i hate you,” you mumble, shaking your head. they only laugh more, wonyoung leaning over to give you a hug.
you reciprocate, begrudgingly. you just want the floor to swallow you right now.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
you were late. to be fair, you weren’t that worried. heeseung was never on time to your study sessions. and, if anything, you were only going to be 5 minutes late.
pushing open the door of the library, you’re greeted with the smell of books, the quiet sounds of footsteps, and fingers tapping keys quietly. time seems to slow in here, somehow. you like it. it’s so peaceful, everyone minding their own business. you stroll quietly, making your way to the study rooms on the side of the library. you had reserved one of the rooms, sending heeseung a text earlier in the day of which one to meet you at.
you walk up to the door, the frosted glass frame with a big blue “5” staring back at you, before pushing it open. you’ll be able to set everything up, maybe get ahead a bit before you have to deal with him, go over things-
but he’s already there. your brain short circuits, like all the thoughts you had disappeared. sitting in one of the chairs, leaned back with one leg stretched out and the other one bent. his hair is damp, which you assume is from practice, hanging in his eyes. a white wifebeater clings to his skin, leaving little to the imagination. his shoulders, his biceps, his chest, his torso. you swear you’re going insane. your eyes flicker to the way his forearm flexes when he scrolls on his phone, your fingers tightening around the strap on your bag.
it’s only then that you realize you’ve been staring. his eyes flicker up from his phone as his gaze locks on yours, the corner of his lip rising. “like what you see?”
you swallow, shaking your head as you step further into the room, letting the door shut behind you. “i’m just surprised you’re actually here on time.”
he only nods, completely seeing through your little act. he leans back more, raising his arms above his head. he groans, and you can’t tear your eyes away from the way his muscles flex, or the way his shirt lifts- just slightly, but enough for you to see a sliver of his skin, his abs highlighted by the fluorescent lights shining down on you two.
you feel insane. your body heats up, taking a deep breath as you (reluctantly) tear your eyes away from him. you busy yourself with pulling everything you need out, trying to ignore heeseung’s gaze on you. the space suddenly feels too small, and you regret reserving a room. you can’t look at anyone else, can’t find a distraction outside of this room. you’re stuck.
heeseung pulls out his own laptop, opening it and speaking, like it’s the most casual thing. “you were staring.”
your breath hitches, but you play it off, glaring at him. “i told you, i was surprised you were here on time.”
his brows lift in amusement. “that’s all?”
you nod, eyes turning back to your screen as you pull up the project. “that’s all.”
“alright,” he hums, but the smile doesn’t drop from his face. your face burns, trying to push all thoughts of how good he looked away as you try desperately to lock in, typing out anything that seems of significance.
this was going to be a long study session.
that it was. you were nearing the hour and a half mark, your brain starting to jumble all the words you read, taking in too much information at once. if you had to read one more article about the impact of diseases and medicine on our society you were sure you were going to start slamming your head against the table.
for once, heeseung wasn’t being a pain. no remarks or teasing. he was silent, actually doing his work. you were grateful for the change, considering how earlier had gone. luckily the tensions had died down, and you two hadn’t talked since you walked in.
then, without warning, he leans in. your body tenses, his arm reaching past you to grab a pen that had rolled over to your side. the scent of his cologne filled your nose, along with his breath lightly fanning against your cheek. you swallowed, trying to keep your eyes trained on your laptop like nothing was wrong.
but he notices. of course he does. his fingers hover over the pen, but he doesn’t grab it. his gaze flickers to you, the corner of his lip lifting up. “you good?” his voice is lower, the teasing lilt evident in his voice already.
you nod, swallowing the lump in your throat as you continue typing, trying to ignore how fast your heart is beating, “yeah, i’m fine.”
he tilts his head, just watching you. then he moves a bit closer, your breath hitching. “are you sure?” he asks again, smiling slightly.
you nod again, too scared to even look his way as you feel your cheeks burning up. “you’re too close. that’s all.”
he grins, unable to hide how amusing this is to him, “too close?”
you nod, confirming his words with a quiet, “yeah.”
he doesn’t back away, instead slowly dragging the pen towards himself as he continues. “what, never had a guy this close before?”
you open your mouth to respond- but no words come out. it’s like you glitched, the words refusing to leave your lips as you try to come up with an excuse, an insult, anything to get the attention off of you right now. fuck.
he picks up on it immediately. his grin falters slightly, his eyes flickering over your face to gauge your reaction. “you haven’t?”
you feel stupid. your chest tightens, embarrassment flooding you. you turn your head quickly- too quickly. not realizing how close the two of you were, your nose brushes against his as you stutter out words. “that’s not- no- i mean-“
“oh my god.” he mumbles, leaning back in his chair.
“heeseung.” you speak, your eyes pleading with him.
he blinks, the smirk gone off his face and replaced with curiosity. “you’ve never been kissed before? actually?”
“heeseung-” you mumble, no other word leaving your lips as your ears heat up, your stomach twisting as he stares at you.
his grin returns, just slightly, a small laugh leaving him as he shakes his head. “that’s.. wow.” he doesn’t sound judgmental, more so surprised, but the damage was already done.
“just drop it,” you mutter, suddenly feeling the need to get out of the room, closing your laptop and beginning to pack up.
“that’s interesting,” he continues, slowly shutting his laptop as he continues to watch you, “you’re leaving?”
you nod, trying to ignore the mortification you feel as you shove things into your backpack carelessly. “it’s already been an hour and a half.”
you go to shove a pencil inside, but with how shaky your hands are, it slips through your fingers, landing on the table. “fuck,” you whisper, so quiet he almost doesn’t hear. he reaches for the pen, his fingers moving faster than yours as he twirls it in between his fingers, watching you. “you good?”
you nod, holding out your hand for the pen, refusing to meet his eyes, “i’m fine. just- can i have it?”
he hesitates, before slowly placing it in your palm. he doesn’t say anything, instead simply watching as you move your hand quickly, shoving the pen into your backpack, before quickly zipping it up and slinging it over your shoulder. you can feel his gaze on you, turning on your heel and making a beeline for the door.
“i’ll see you in class,” you mutter, the door shutting behind you as you walk out as quickly as your legs will take you, trying to hold back the flood of emotions and embarrassment swirling inside you.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
it felt like everything hit you the second you stepped through the door. the silence only heightened the sound of your pounding heartbeat in your ears. you kick off your shoes, your hands shaky as you let your backpack fall to the floor. your mind can’t stop replaying every interaction with heeseung earlier that day.
but it felt like so much more than that. it was about the way you slipped up, your own body betraying you and the truth slipping out. it wasn’t like being inexperienced was a bad thing- you knew that. but you hated how everyone around you was able to talk about it so casually. while you fell behind and lived vicariously through romance novels and cheesy romcoms.
for once, you wanted to know what it was like. and for all people that could’ve found out- heeseung had to know. the boy who had a new girl on his arm every week, who was no stranger to romance. it felt mocking. embarrassing. like the universe was making a joke of you, pointing at you and laughing.
your breath catches in your throat, tears spilling down your cheeks before you can process it. you don’t stop them, you don’t react. you simply stand there, small sobs leaving you as the defeated feeling takes over. you’d tried to hard to not let this take over. to be okay with the fact that you hadn’t experienced love yet, it was no big deal. but it somehow hurt more knowing the one you liked was probably the most unattainable person on campus.
you shuffle towards your bed, your feet barely leaving the ground until you reach the foot of your bed, letting yourself fall forward, straight into a pillow. your tears soak the fabric, your mind swirling with insecurities and thoughts of yearning. to know. to feel. to be loved.
it feels so impossible at this point. like love- true love- will never find you. it felt like everything was boiling over, your body curling up as your tears grow more intense, louder sobs slipping from your lips as your hands grip the pillow.
you didn’t even know how long you had been crying for. you cried until no more tears came out, the sobs transforming into quiet sniffles and labored breaths, until exhaustion took over your body and lulled your body into a peaceful sleep, safe from all the worries of the outside world.
but the peace didn’t last. the sound of the door opening stirs you awake, yunjin’s voice filling the apartment. your body feels too heavy, a dull pounding in your head and a lump in your throat still remain as you turn over slowly. you rub your eyes, trying your best to remove the evidence of your breakdown through your sleepy confusion.
“-and he was so fucking hot, y/n. ugh, i wish i would’ve gone over to his place. and he told me he had a good time, and he wants to see me again!” she spills, kicking off her shoes and throwing her purse somewhere near the door, flailing her hands as she recounts all the details.
she pauses as she turns to you, finally taking in the state you’re in. “were you asleep? sorry. i didn’t mean to wake you up,” she laughs quietly, lowering her voice.
you simply shake your head, still coming back to reality as you push yourself up. you speak, your voice scratchy and slurred from lingering exhaustion, “it’s fine. i shouldn’t have fallen asleep that early, anyway.”
she walks over, sitting at the edge of your bed and looking at you, a smile on her lips before she takes in your puffy eyes. “you doing alright?”
you swallow, pushing down the emotions that threaten to resurface. you nod, forcing a smile. “i’m good. just tired… i’ve had a lot of work lately.”
she watches you, her head tilting like she doesn’t believe you. finally, a smile breaks out on her face as she lets herself fall back against your bed, turning her head to face you. “he was so perfect. like, usually i don’t like pisces men, but beomgyu? he was just.. fuck, y/n, i’m losing my mind.”
you smile slightly at her lovesick rant, her words filled with a giddy happiness that only love can bring to you. you nod along to her words, her eyes lighting up when she recounts the best details.
“are you going out again?” you ask quietly, playing with the hem of your blanket when she stops talking, simply staring at your ceiling with a lovesick smile.
that question breaks her out of the trance, turning to you with a grin. “fuck yeah! he asked me to go to his place next? you know what that means,” she trails off, wriggling her eyebrows before kicking her feet, covering her face with her hands as she squeals.
you laugh, although deep down, you wish you could know what it feels like. the feeling of being desired, of being wanted. and as yunjin continues to ramble, expressive hands and wide eyes, you can’t push down the feeling that creeps up and surrounds you, making you feel like you’re locked inside a dark room that has no key, no door. like you’re falling behind while everyone races ahead.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
“no.”
the word leaves your lips before yunjin can finish her sentence, already knowing where it was going when she started with, “so, i was thinking…” you don’t look up from your laptop, hoping that if you don’t acknowledge them, they’ll drop it. they never do.
wonyoung groans, flopping backwards onto your bed before she rolls over on her stomach, resting her chin on her hands as she stares at you. “y/n, please. you literally never go out.”
you finally spare her a glance, before looking back at your computer. “i’m busy.”
yunjin crosses her arms, a huff of air leaving her. “you fucking liar. all you do is rot in bed. then you wonder why you get no action.”
you glare at her, choosing to ignore her jab at your love- or lack thereof- life. “i enjoy the tranquility.”
“god, you’re hopeless.” she sighs, sitting on the edge of the bed beside wonyoung’s sprawled out figure. “you need to have some fun for once.”
“i do have fun,” you reply, finally shutting your laptop, “a party is not my idea of fun. it’s sweaty bodies, and drunk people, and people making out against walls.”
“you’re so dramatic,” wonyoung laughs, her hands tugging lightly at your calves. “it’s one night. maybe something will happen.”
you shake your head, ignoring the puppy dog eyes she sends you. “no, nothing will. i’ll go and hate it, want to kill myself, and wish i could be back in bed watching reruns of gossip girl.”
yunjin groans, tossing her head back at your resilience. “i’m gonna kill you. you’re coming to this party. you need some action. that’s probably why you’ve been so… whatever you’ve been, lately.”
you freeze, shaking your head lightly. “i don’t need action.”
wonyoung giggles, turning her head to smile at yunjin. “you know, y/n, she has a point. don’t you think it’s time to put yourself out there?”
you roll your eyes, biting the inside of your cheek. “shut up.”
but your stomach twists uncomfortably. they don’t mean it in a harmful way- to them it’s just teasing. they don’t know how much you hate having nothing, the fear of putting yourself out there. and after your breakdown a few nights ago, the topic felt heavier.
more anxiety fills you as another thought creeps in. impossible to shake, growing larger the more you try to ignore it. if it’s a party, heeseung will be there. he always is. the thought of running into him after your last interaction makes your chest feel tight, your eyes flickering around the room.
“i just don’t wanna go,” you mumble, trying your luck again. of course, they don’t listen.
yunjin sends you a look, standing up and grabbing your arms, tugging you forward. you gasp, catching your balance before you tumble off your bed. “didn’t i already tell you you’re coming to this party? get up, loser.”
you huff, reluctantly listening to her just this once. you toss your feet over the side of the bed, letting yunjin pull you to your feet. “you’re so lucky i love you guys,” you mutter, glaring at both of them.
wonyoung squeals, practically flying off of your bed as she wraps you in a hug, jumping up and down. “finally! i’ve been waiting for this day forever!”
you only shake your head, trying to bite back a smile at her excitement. yunjin, on the other hand, has already made her way to your dresser, pulling random clothes out and tossing them over her shoulder.
“okay,” she speaks, tossing a pair of shorts that are too short beside her, “we wanna make you look hot. but also not like you’re trying too hard, a good balance. heeseung’s gonna be there, right?”
wonyoung laughs, making her way over to yunjin to look at the clothes she’s already picked out, holding them up to your body before nodding or shaking her head. your stomach, however, twists at the mention of his name.
“i’m not trying to impress anyone,” you blurt, shaking your head as yunjin pulls out a tiny red dress, “i’m only going because you guys are forcing me.”
she gives you a look, raising her eyebrows. “you realize we can see right through you, right? you act like we’re not your best friends. you want the guy, admit it.”
you go silent, opting to roll your eyes at her words instead. she only laughs, tossing the red dress at you. “try that on.”
“i’m not wearing this,” you mutter, holding it out in front of you.wonyoung whines, shaking your shoulders. “it’s a house party, girl. other people are going to be wearing so much worse. just try it.”
you groan, reluctantly trying the dress on. it’s too tight, too short, showing off your body in ways you’re not used to. you look up, gauging the two girls’ reactions. yunjin tilts her head, analyzing you, before finally shaking her head.
“no, i don’t think that’s very you,” she says, turning back to your closet. “you wanna look slutty, but like, fashion.”
you furrow your eyebrows, almost wanting to laugh at how seriously they were taking this. “great explanation.”
wonyoung gasps, stopping both of you in your tracks. “yunjin, give me that shirt,” she exclaims, pointing to a black lace tube top yunjin is holding up. the lace wraps around itself, one edge falling to create an asymmetrical look. once yunjin hands it over, she grabs a black denim skirt off the floor, holding the items to your body as best she can.
“yes. this is it,” she smiles, yunjin nodding beside her. “put this on. you’re gonna look so hot.”
you can’t deny wonyoung’s words once you have the outfit on. it looks good, the pieces accentuating your body while not showing off too much. yunjin’s jaw drops slightly, nodding as you spin slowly. “i’m so in love with you.”
you smile, shaking your head at her. wonyoung grabs a pair of black heeled-boots, the leather tight around your calves, with a platform that makes you at least 5 inches taller.
yunjin nods, looking at wonyoung, “add a leather jacket.”
once the whole outfit is assembled, you can’t deny it. you feel hot. you look hot. “you look amazing, y/n. heeseung’s one lucky guy.” wonyoung smiles, stepping up to you to adjust the top.
you glare at her, an exasperated breath leaving you. “stop bringing him up. nothing has happened between us.”
“yet,” yunjin says, a teasing smile on her lips.
“oh, fuck off,” you laugh, flipping her off. you couldn’t help the feeling that settled in your stomach. was it anxiety? excitement? you couldn’t tell, but you knew this was going to be a long night. and maybe, deep down, a part of you wanted heeseung to see you in this outfit.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
you regretted coming the second you stepped through the door.
music was blasting through the speakers, the volume combined with all the conversations happening almost unbearable. the smell of weed and alcohol invaded your senses almost immediately. people were everywhere you looked, crowded together. drinking, smoking, dancing, talking, making out.
your feet slowed down, suddenly wanting to turn around and go back home. yunjin tugged your arm, forcing your feet to move again as she dragged you along, weaving through the mass of bodies, trying to avoid bumping into anyone.
wonyoung was right. people were wearing much worse. you still felt out of place though. like people knew you didn’t normally dress like this. like people knew you were trying to look good just for this party.
once the three of you stopped moving, wonyoung looked at you, immediately sensing your discomfort. “you’re fine. no one’s judging you, okay? everyone’s too caught up in their own thing here.”
you only nodded in response, glancing around at everyone. “there’s… a lot of people here.”
wonyoung laughs, finding your reactions cute. “yeah, that’s usually what it’s like at house parties.”
the idea of willingly putting yourself in this environment weekly sent a chill down your spine. things like this weren’t your speed. though, sometimes, you wonder what it would be like to be an extrovert, to enjoy talking to others, spending your days socializing. wonyoung explains something to you, but you’re only halfway listening. your eyes are drifting around the party.
looking for something, or someone. hoping to see his black hair in the crowd of people. a bit hard, when half the people here had black hair.
“oh- there he is!” yunjin gasps, her words pulling you out of your trance as you look at her, raising your eyebrows. you follow her line of vision, nerves bubbling in you at the thought of actually seeing him-
“beomgyu!” she smiles, turning to you and wonyoung with a cheesy grin. “i’m gonna go say hi. i’ll catch you guys in a bit?”
“go get your man,” you smile, watching as she heads off, a pep in her step as gets closer to him. you turn back to wonyoung, unsure of what to do now that you were here.
“so, like, what do we do?” you ask, once again glancing around at the people around you.
“talk to people. get a drink. find someone hot.” she nudges you at the last option, sending a teasing smile your way.
“no.” your reply is immediate, shaking your head. “i’m not having any of my firsts at a random house party.”
she sighs, throwing her head back before looking back at you. “you read too many romance novels.”
you gape at her, your lips forming into a pout. “a girl can dream. let me wait for the one.”
“well, looking like you do tonight,” she pauses, her eyes flickering up and down your figure, “i’m gonna be surprised if no one hits on you.”
her sentence sends a hint of excitement through you, but you quickly shake your head, dismissing the feeling. “i’d rather someone not. that would just be awkward. i can’t talk to people.”
she laughs, but she’s shaking her head. “this is exactly why you need to go out more. put yourself out there.”
you don’t respond, your eyes flickering around the crowd of people once again, watching people's body language, and how they interact with one another. everyone looks so relaxed, simply enjoying the environment.
“anyway,” wonyoung speaks, breaking the silence that settled between you two, “i’m gonna go get a drink. do you wanna come?”
you shake your head, not feeling like navigating through the crowd of people once again, choosing to wait for wonyoung to get back. “no. it’s fine. i’ll wait.”
“alright, do you want anything?” she continues, watching as you shake your head again, denying her offer. “i’ll be right back, then.”
you watch as she walks off, weaving through the crowd and heading towards the kitchen. you lean back against the wall, fidgeting with your fingers as you wait calmly for wonyoung to return.
she doesn’t. two minutes turn to five, which turns to ten, which turns to fifteen. people were starting to send you looks, wondering why you were standing around alone, with no drink.
you felt out of place. no, you were out of place. you glance around, the nerves of everything becoming too overstimulating. you needed to get away from the crowds.
slowly, you push through the crowd, making your way to the hallway. you slip past the people having conversations, and the couple making out against the wall. one door is cracked open, which you can only assume means it’s safe to enter.
you wait outside for a bit, listening for if there’s any noises. it’s silent. you hesitate for a second, before finally pushing the door open. the room was empty, the quiet away from the loud voices instantly calming your nerves. you shut the door behind you, the noise of the party becoming even more muffled, feeling like a breath of fresh air.
you glanced around the room, your heart nearly stopping. heeseung was leaned against the wall, scrolling on his phone. could this night get any worse?
he hadn’t noticed you yet, too busy scrolling on his phone. you gulped, feeling your face flush. you could turn around, you could leave the room. you should do that. but for some reason, your feet wouldn’t move. it was like they were planted into the ground.
he lifted his gaze from his phone, locking eyes with you. you felt like a deer caught in headlights. his expression was unreadable, but he tilted his head slightly.
a brief moment of silence passed between the two of you, your heart thudding loudly in your chest as he watched you.
“y/n?” he asked, his voice sounding a bit surprised.
“sorry,” you finally forced out, fidgeting with your fingers as your gaze drifts away from his, focusing on the wall instead. “i thought this room was empty.”
he simply shrugged, a small smile on his lips. “too loud out there?”
you nod, awkwardly shifting your weight from one foot to the other. this somehow felt more suffocating than the party did. “i didn’t mean to… bother you.” you mumble, turning around to head for the door.
“you don’t have to leave,” he said, his voice quiet, your stomach fluttering at the sound, “i’m not doing anything. stay if you need a break. if you want.”
you stand still, both choices seeming wrong. staying in the room with him felt like a mistake, but walking back out to the chaos of the party felt slightly worse.
slowly, you nodded, turning around and stepping further into the room. “okay. uh, thanks.”
you both stood there, not saying anything for a moment. you shifted your gaze around the room, your nerves palpable. and heeseung, of course, picked up on it.
“this isn’t exactly your scene, is it, princess?” he asked, voice filled with that familiar teasing tone. you tried to ignore how the nickname had your heart doing somersaults, or how your face heated up. everything felt so much more elevated in the room.
you swallowed, trying to push your nerves aside as you looked back at him. “uh, no, it’s not,” you mumble, almost wanting to laugh at how awkward you sounded.
he hums, pushing himself off the wall and walking towards the bed, sitting on the edge. he looks at you expectantly, only laughing slightly when you raise your brows in response. “are you just gonna stand there the whole time?”
your face flushes, suddenly feeling too embarrassed. your body moves before you realize it, getting closer to him. you can feel your heartbeat speeding up, his eyes watching you as you sit down next to him. you’re not an awkward distance away, but you made sure to put some space between the two of you. the room was quiet, except for the noise of your nervous breaths, your fingers fidgeting with each other.
“so,” he began, breaking the silence, “what’re you doing here, anyway?”
you look at him, shrugging. “my friends dragged me along.”
he hummed, tilting his head, “so then why are you in here?”
this was humiliating. “one is talking to her date and another went to get drinks and didn’t come back,” you mumbled, trying to ignore the smile that crept up on his face.
“damn, princess,” he huffed out a laugh, shaking his head lightly, “they ditched you?”
“i mean, they’re more used to this environment. i wouldn’t wanna, like, hold them back from having fun,” you shrug, glancing down at your hands.
“if you say so,” he responds, going quiet for a few seconds before speaking again. “i just still don’t see why you would even come, considering, y’know..”
your stomach drops. your eyes flicker up to his, raising your eyebrows slightly. “considering… what?”
he tilts his head, a slight smirk playing on his lips. “you’ve never kissed anyone. you weren’t lying about that, right?”
heat rises on your cheeks, the embarrassment that hits you suddenly making you feel sick, once again stuck in a room with heeseung and talking about this. “heeseung. i don’t wanna talk about that.”
“why? it’s nothing to be ashamed about,” he replies with a shrug, leaning back against the pillows and playing with the hem of his shirt. “you ever had a boyfriend?”
“heeseung.” you say, but his expression tells you he’s not letting this go anytime soon. you sigh, your voice quiet, the word coming out as a hushed whisper, “no.”
he was quiet, and the more the silence dragged on, the more you felt like you wanted the floor to swallow you. the same humiliating feeling from before was slowly making its way back, the room feeling like it was closing in on you. and then, heeseung spoke.
“you ever wonder what it’s like? to kiss someone?” he asks, and you almost want to laugh.
“that’s a stupid question,” you blurt before you can stop it, listening to the way he laughs quietly.
“sorry. had to make sure,” he replies, and this, for some reason, doesn’t feel as bad as last time did. it doesn’t feel like he’s judging you. more so, just asking questions.
“of course i do. it’s kinda hard not to when all everyone talks about is their love lives,” you reply, finally opening up a bit. you don’t know why you’re telling him this much. you could’ve diverted the conversation, made him talk about something else, but you were opening up.
you were trying to ignore the anxiety bubbling in your chest. from being in a room alone with heeseung, to discussing your desolate love life with him. it felt unnatural- it was unnatural. you were never one to open up to people easily, but it felt like he did it without trying (well, besides when he wouldn’t like a topic go).
“i could teach you,” he speaks, and your head snaps up to his so fast you’re surprised your neck didn’t break in the process. it felt like time stopped. you couldn’t hear the music outside, or the muffled voices. all you could hear was your heartbeat in your ears and the way your breathing picked up. heeseung continued to stare at you, his eyebrows raised slightly as he waited for an answer.
“w-what?” you stutter out, trying to convince yourself you heard his words wrong, that you made it up, some kind of excuse.
“i said i could teach you. you heard me,” he repeats his words, the corner of his lip lifting up again.
your breath hitched. the silence was too loud, the two of you just staring at each other as you tried your hardest to process his words. “you’re joking, right?” you finally ask, your voice quiet, unsure.
but he didn’t laugh. he only watched you, his voice dropping just a bit lower. “it’s not hard. if you want, i could teach you.”
you sat, frozen. blinking out of whatever daze you were in since he spoke, your eyes flickering the the ground. heeseung- the playboy heeseung, the heeseung you liked- offering to be your first kiss. it didn’t feel right. it felt like the universe was trying to play a sick joke on you. like this would turn out to be too good to be true.
you heard him laugh softly, and your eyes drifted back up to him. he seemed to be enjoying how flustered you were, how your brain was quite literally short circuiting. “we don’t have to if you don’t want to. it’s just an offer. but, if you want to, i’m right here.”
you felt your heart speed up more at his words. your mind felt like it couldn’t process what was going on. what was the right choice here? one side of you felt like you should laugh it off, change the subject and act like the conversation never happened. continue to save your first kiss for something special. but on the other hand, this did feel special. you were curious. hell, you’ve been curious for the last 22 years. you were caught between forcing down your desires and enlightening them, finally understanding what you’ve been wondering about your whole life. finally being able to understand the conversations, the movie scenes, the books.
your mouth opened, a protest about to leave your lips, but no words came out. your words got stuck, your true feelings not letting them leave. heeseung noticed your hesitation, pushing himself to sit up.
he watched you, his voice getting softer, quieter. “come here,” he mumbled, his words making your stomach do flips. god, you wanted to slam your head against the wall.
your heartbeat sped up, but you moved closer to him anyway, sitting so close your knees were pressed together. you didn’t know what you were doing, but you knew you didn’t wanna turn around and leave. not at this point.
heeseung watched you, not reaching out until you had stopped moving. his hand reached up slowly, cautiously, gently cupping your jaw. his thumb brushed over your skin, sending a shiver down your spine. his gaze flickered between your eyes and lips, the reality of what was happening sinking it. “you’re nervous,” he whispered, the words spoken like they were a secret just between the two of you. his breath fans across your face, further solidifying the reality of the distance between you two.
you nodded, your breath shallow, unsure. you let your own eyes flicker to his lips before moving back to his eyes. you whispered, your voice shaky, “what if i’m bad?”
he smiled, his thumb tracing your jaw as he shook his head. “don’t worry about that. just follow my lead.”
you nod, everything feeling like a haze. he leans in slowly, and before you can think too much about it, his lips are on yours. it felt like everything around you stopped. your eyes fluttered shut, your breath stuttering.
his lips are soft, and you try to follow his movements as best you can. his touch is gentle, guiding you, taking a first experience from you. the outside world seems quiet, likes it’s just you and heeseung in this moment. he presses his lips a bit harder against yours, tilting your head just slightly. the feeling is all-consuming. overwhelming. you want more and want to get away all at the same time. but it feels nice. it feels like everything you’ve dreamed of. what the lead in a romance movie feels, what the books describe, how your friend’s eyes light up when they tell you about their first kiss with a new guy.
he pulls away slowly, his hand still remaining on your jaw. your eyes flutter open, blinking a little, like you’re trying to ground yourself. his face was still so close to yours, your breaths mixing together. his expression was unreadable, and your heart sped up at the reality.
“was that okay?” you ask, your voice quiet, barely above a whisper.
heeseung stared at you for a moment, not saying anything. his eyes searched yours, his breath soft against your skin, his touch still so light. “yeah,” he mumbled, his eyes still flickering around your face, his thumb tracing your jaw again. “not bad, princess.”
you nod, your mind in too much of a haze to mumble out exact words. you eyes flickered to his lips again, fighting the urge to lean in again, to feel the warmth of his lips against yours. but before you could think about it too much, your phone buzzed loudly against your lap, the ringing snapping you back to reality.
you blink, still dazed, as you look down on at your phone, shaky hands turning it over, the name staring back at you.
wonyoung.
shit. you hesitated for a second, before answering the call, pressing the phone to your ear. “hello?”
“where are you?” wonyoung’s voice came through, a bit hard to hear over the pounding music. “i came back to the spot you were at. i got caught up with some friends, i’m sorry.”
you swallowed, your mind still in a haze. your gaze flickered to heeseung. he was already watching you, having had leaned back against the headboard.
“it’s fine,” you mumble, words trailing off. your heartbeat still felt too loud, and your thoughts were jumbled and all over the place. “it’s- i’m just..”
heeseung raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth twitching. he tilted his head, clearly amused by your inability to form a sentence right now.
“hello?” wonyoung’s voice spoke again, pulling your attention back to her. “are you there?”
“yeah! yeah, sorry,” you mumble, pursing your lips. “i’ll be right there.”
“okay. i’ll see you soon.” she replied, the line going dead.
the room went silent, filled with nothing but the awkwardness swirling around the two of you. you were too afraid to meet his gaze, so you stare at your hands, before standing up slowly, placing your phone in your pocket. “um… i should go. i’ll see you around?”
heeseung didn’t say anything, and you took that as your cue to just leave. you walked towards the door, trying to form a coherent thought as you reached for the doorknob. his voice finally cut through the quiet, making you stop in your tracks.
“you know,” he began, his voice teasing, with a hint of something else you couldn’t quite pinpoint, “you look nice tonight.”
the words sent butterflies swirling in your stomach, closing your eyes as you tried to ground yourself. what was wrong with you? you didn’t turn around, too scared to meet his eyes. you couldn’t. so you only nodded, your voice shaky, “thank you.”
you opened the door, stepping out and back into the party. it felt like you were snapped back to reality the second the loud music hit your ears, met with the sight of a swarm of people again as you pushed through the crowd. you tried to ignore the way your lips still tingled, or the way your cheeks heated up when you thought about his hand on your face, his breath so close to you, his lips against yours.
you almost bumped into someone, muttering out a pathetic “sorry” as you corrected your path, finally catching a glimpse of yunjin and wonyoung standing together, talking about some random topic. wonyoung noticed you first, smiling and waving as she noticed you walking over.
you wave back, forcing a smile as you join up with them. all you know is that you’re going crazy. you kissed heeseung. your first kiss. was it a mistake? did you make too irrational of a decision while being caught in the moment?
your thoughts are interrupted by yunjin’s loud voice, pulling you back to the current moment, “you missed everything, y/n. i had so much to talk about. where were you, anyway?”
you open your mouth, your eyes flickering between the two girls watching you with expectant stares. you should lie, make some kind of excuse to avert the attention from you, ask what yunjin had to talk about. but the thought of hiding your feelings from them more than you already are makes a sick feeling appear in your stomach.
“i kissed heeseung.” the words are out before you even realize you said that.
they stand there, unmoving before yunjin speaks, “you what?”
wonyoung only covers her mouth with her hand, a loud gasp leaving her lips as she looks between you and yunjin. you stare sheepishly at the two, no more words leaving your lips as you open and close your mouth, wonyoung finally forcing some words out. “bitch, are you serious?”
the reality of everything feels like it’s hitting you all over again, a shaky breath leaving your lips as you look up, trying to form a sentence in your mind before you speak out loud. “i kissed heeseung. or, he kissed me. we kissed each other? i don’t know…” you cover your eyes with one of your hands, clenching your eyes shut. everything feels too surreal right now.
yunjin blinks, shaking her head as she tries to make sense of the situation. “hold on, start from the beginning, please. what the fuck happened?”
you laugh shakily, shrugging as words come spilling out, “i just- i needed a break from the party, so i went into what i thought was an empty room, but he was in there. he told me i could stay, and we started talking, and he brought up the fact that i’d never kissed anyone-“
wonyoung cuts you off, raising an eyebrow. “how did he know that?”
you gulp, averting your eyes. “that’s a story for another time.” the two share a look, but don’t interrupt you again, letting you continue. “anyway, he said he could teach me… and, yeah,” you mumble, words getting quieter as you finish the story, finally looking back at the two.
yunjin’s jaw is dropped, and she turns to wonyoung with a glare. “you left her alone for ten minutes and she kissed heeseung?”
“i wanted a drink!” wonyoung defends herself, pointing at you, “i didn’t know she was gonna sneak off and make out with someone while i was gone.”
your cheeks heat up, shaking your head quickly. “it wasn’t like that. it was just one kiss.”
yunjin only laughs, giving you a hug. “well, congratulations. my baby is all grown up.”
“oh, fuck off,” you mutter, but your arms wrap around her, fighting back a smile.
“was it good?” wonyoung asks, your eyes widening. “like… is he really that good of a kisser like everyone says?”
your breath hitches at the question. your mind flickers back to how his lips felt on yours, how softly he held you, his breath soft against your lips, how his voice dropped, quiet and gentle. the way everything made you felt. your heart speeds up again at the thought, and you swallow, hesitating slightly before answering, trying to disguise the true thoughts you have.
“i don’t know, wonyoung. it was my first kiss. how am i supposed to know what good means?” you reply, huffing out a laugh.
she groans, unsatisfied with your answer, but she doesn’t push further. yunjin pulls back from the hug, but her hands remain on your shoulders. “you kissed lee heeseung. the lee heeseung. and he offered to teach you. girl, you’re in so deep.”
you shake your head, feeling your cheeks heat up even more, if that’s possible. wonyoung chimes in, tugging your arm. “okay. back to your dorm, right now. tell us everything. leave absolutely nothing out.”
you only laugh, but let wonyoung drag you along, yunjin following closely behind. the comfort the two provide for you makes things feel not as stressful, trying your best to push the anxieties and self-doubt about the turn the night took away.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
your stomach was a mess of nerves as you stepped through the classroom door. it wasn’t that you didn’t expect to see heeseung- you knew he was going to be here. but you didn’t know if you were ready. you had spent the past two days replaying every moment, every detail of that night, too caught up in your own thoughts. you tried to convince yourself it wasn’t a big deal, that it was just a kiss, but your true feelings betrayed you.
you spotted him in what had become his usual seat- which was previously yours- scrolling on his phone, leaned back in the chair. you swallowed, getting closer to the seat as you put on a front, acting as nonchalant and unaffected as you could.
you slid into the chair next to him, pulling out your notebook and letting your bag hit the floor with a soft thud. you busied yourself with opening to an empty page, dragging your pencil along the page to make random, pointless drawings. anything to try and ease your nerves at the moment.
“hey, princess,” heeseung spoke, his voice carrying that signature teasing lilt. his tone was so casual, like nothing had happened. you tried to ignore the way your heartbeat sped up at the sounds of his voice, or the nickname that used to make you grind your teeth. “i didn’t see you after you left the room. i thought you disappeared.”
you finally glanced at him, your eyes meeting his. “i’m still here. sadly.”
his lip twitched, that signature smirk forming on his lips. “good to know.”
his tone was so casual, so normal. but yet, things felt different. maybe it was the way he was watching you- his gaze lingering for just a second too long before looking away. or how he wasn’t teasing you as much, you two having a normal conversation for once.
you were reading too much into it. this was the last thing you wanted to do. you kissed him because he offered to teach you. there was no meaning, no feelings behind it- on his end. you cleared your throat, turning back to your notebook. “did you look over the project? i added some notes to the shared document. there’s an article that seems like it could be helpful.”
he shook his head, leaning forward so his elbows were on the desk. “nah. i’ve been busy with practice.”
you roll your eyes, but the usual irritation didn’t come. you continued to doodle on your notebook, trying to focus on the small flower you were creating. but you couldn’t ignore the way you could feel his gaze on you, making heat rise to your cheeks.
“you’re staring,” you mumble, eyes still trained on the flower, adding small blades of grass at the bottom, adding another small flower next to it.
“am i?” he asked, and you could see the way he tilted his head in your peripheral vision. “i didn’t notice.”
you huffed out a breath, forcing yourself not to react. if you gave him an inch, he’d take a mile, pointing out every little flustered reaction you have. it was the last thing you needed.
dr. kim entered the room, greeting the class, indirectly saving you from having to reply. you tried to focus, jotting down whatever he mentioned, but your focus was somewhere else entirely.
every time heeseung moved, shifting in his seat, tapping his pen against your notebook, your attention would be drawn to him. you couldn’t stop it. as much as you tried to focus, trying to ignore him, your mind wouldn’t let you. you felt like a middle schooler with a pathetic crush all over again.
it was stupid. he was acting normal. you were (trying to) act normal. so why did nothing feel normal? slowly, your head turned just slightly, looking towards him. but he was already looking at you. he didn’t look away, your eyes meeting for a fleeting second. your breath caught in your throat, and you turned back to your notebook quickly, shifting in your seat.
you were screwed. your heart lurched, your pulse quickening. a small part of your mind tells you that you’re not imagining things- that something has shifted. something is different. but you can’t place your finger on it. you feel like you’re making yourself go crazy, overanalyzing every little detail. every little glance, every sentence, hell, you payed attention to the tone of his voice.
all you know is that you’re fucked. you’re officially down bad for lee heeseung.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
your day had been horrible. you wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and sleep, forgetting that this shitshow of a day ever happened.
you woke up late, the shrill sound of your alarm shocking you awake, the time on the clock practically mocking you as you realized you were going to be late to class. you rushed your morning, not even having enough time to get breakfast, leaving your stomach growling as you rushed to class. you looked like you had just rolled out of bed- which was the truth- as you walked into the classroom, sending an apologetic smile as your professor glared at you.
the lecture was a blur, and to make matters worse, you absolutely failed your test. you knew you weren’t confident with the material, but to have a low c staring back at you made you feel too incompetent. your professor didn’t even hide her disappointment, shaking her head as she placed the paper on your desk, your ears turning red with embarrassment.
now, your heavy feet were carrying you to your favorite café, your comfort away from the hectic world, the one place that brought you peace after a bad day. about halfway there, it had started sprinkling, small droplets landing on you as you walked. it truly felt like you had a rain cloud above only you, making fun of how bad your day had gone so far.
you pushed open the door to the café, the comforting smell filling your senses, and you felt the tension in your body ease just slightly. you tried to ignore the looks of other patrons, wondering why you had no umbrella, your hair and clothes damp as you stepped inside. all that was on your mind was a hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream. you’d been dreaming about it since you walked into class earlier, making a promise to yourself you would pick one up after class to hopefully raise your dejected feelings.
of course, the universe had other plans. the cup looked fine, the white paper concealing what was inside. but when you took a sip, the sharp taste hit your tastebuds, completely wrong. bitter coffee covered your tongue, making your face scrunch up. you blinked in confusion, slowly popping the lid off the cup. they had given you straight black coffee. you stared at the coffee, your pitiful stare reflecting off the dark liquid.
you sighed, frustration bubbling up inside you. you weren’t going to make a scene, you were too exhausted for that. it wasn’t what you did. but you also knew if you didn’t have your hot chocolate you were going to go insane. was it pathetic that a drink could help make your day that much better? maybe.
you walked back up to the counter, politely pointing the mistake out to the barista, even pulling out your crumpled up receipt from your pocket to solidify your point. she didn’t seem to care, staring at you blankly before taking the cup with a sigh, muttering out a half-assed apology.
you wanted to say something, your inner dialogue filled with very creative language as you watched her roll her eyes when she turned around. you felt like a burden, the comfort this place usually provided suddenly turning into a unpleasant experience.
they finally handed you the right drink, about five minutes later. it should’ve made things better, but it didn’t. you thanked her with the biggest smile you could muster, apologizing for the inconvenience and turning around. you were starting to walk to your favorite seat, a table in the corner that gave you a perfect view of the scenery outside, a perfect place to put in your headphones and daydream.
and that’s when it happened. too focused on the previous interaction, too distracted with everything that had gone wrong today. you ran into someone- hard. your shoulders slammed into each other, the force making you stumble backwards, your drink almost spilling. some splashed out the small opening, the hot liquid splashing against your hand, causing a small curse to leave your mouth as you winced.
you steadied yourself, looking up at the stranger. an apology was on the tip of your tongue, ready to admit that you weren’t paying attention, but that’s when you saw his expression. cold. angry. he looked you up and down, like you were a piece of garbage. as if you were an inconvenience. like you had ruined his whole day, his eyes full of judgement. he didn’t bother to say anything, let alone hear whatever you had to say as he scoffed and continued on his way.
it felt like a slap in the face. your mouth opened, almost ready to sputter out insults, but no words came out. suddenly, it felt like the weight of everything that had happened today was crashing down on you. your rushed morning, your failed test, your disappointed professor, the rain, the wrong order, the barista, this stranger- his glare, like you meant nothing. it all felt like too much.
hot tears brimmed your eyes before you could get your emotions in check. you turned around, pushing open the café doors, taking deep breaths to calm yourself. the soft rain from earlier had begun to fall in fat, harsh drops, pouring down on everything. the weather felt like an accurate representation of your emotions in the moment, cold, sad, chaotic. you pressed a hand to your forehead, trying, and failing to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. a lump formed in your throat, and you leaned back against the wall of the café.
you pulled your phone out from your pocket, trying to ignore how pathetic your reflection looked as you unlocked it, a tear slipping down your cheek as you opened your contacts, your fingers immediately finding yunjin’s name as you pressed the call button.
it was like once one tear fell, the floodgates opened. you couldn’t control them anymore, tears spilling down your cheeks as you wiped at your eyes pathetically. the only noise being the quiet ringing of your phone, the rain falling, and your quiet sniffles.
it went to voicemail, yunjin’s happy voice breaking the sad silence. you tried again. still no answer. more tears fell, moving onto wonyoung next. it repeated the same process, ringing. and ringing. and ringing. and then- voicemail. you tried once again to be sure, clinging onto any ounce of hope. same result.
you could feel your heart shattering more and more. you felt alone. your sniffles turned into quiet sobs, clutching your phone as you tried to catch your breath. everything felt too overwhelming, too out of your control, too messed up.
you were stuck here. you couldn’t walk home, the rain was too strong. you couldn’t go back inside, not looking like this. everything was slowly unraveling. your closest friends weren’t even picking up, and you couldn’t get mad at them for it. they had lives too, not always able to drop everything for you. but the betrayal still stung, everything feeling like a personal attack at this point.
you forced yourself to breathe, slowly unlocking your phone once again. you scrolled through your contacts, blurry, tear-filled vision making it harder. you just needed someone, anyone who you could call. anyone who could come get you. your eyes stopped on one person, your heart beating faster at the thought. you clicked on his contact, you finger hovering over the call button, before finally, you pressed it.
it rang once. twice. three times. you were losing hope, more tears spilling down your cheeks as the reality of your situation set in. and then-
“hello?”
your breath catches. you hadn’t expected someone to actually pick up. everything felt so hopeless, the sound of someone’s voice sending a shock through you. you sniffle quietly, trying to get a word out, but it’s like they’re all caught in your throat.
“hello?” heeseung repeats again, his voice more clear this time. “are you there?”
you take a deep breath, forcing your tears and shaky breaths to calm down. you feel like if you speak a new wave of tears will just spill down your cheeks. “i-“ you start, before your voice breaks. you swallow, trying again. “i need a ride… it’s raining. no one else was picking up.”
there’s a long pause, silence stretching between the two of you. you begin to feel stupid for calling, for being such an inconvenience to another person, more than you’ve already been today. you hear a small laugh on the other end, your eyebrows furrowing slightly at the sound. “can’t handle a little rain, princess?”
frustration builds inside of you, but you hold your feelings down. this, however, makes the dam in your eyes break again, more tears spilling down your cheeks. “heeseung, please,” you sniffle, sucking in a shaky breath as you try to get your emotions in check again.
the teasing tone of his voice is gone almost immediately, replaced by confusion as he speaks again. “y/n? are you okay?”
your breath catches at his change in tone. you didn’t want to be a burden to anyone, didn’t want to push your emotions onto someone else, all because you couldn’t handle a bad day. but everything was too much right now. “yeah,” your speak, you words quieter than you expected, a shaky tone to your voice. “just… tired.”
he’s silent for a bit, before he speaks again, and you can hear shuffling on the other end, the jingling of car keys sending a small hope through you. “where are you?”
“the café near campus. the one we went to that one time,” you force out, trying your hardest to sound normal. and not like there’s tears slipping down your cheeks. you think you must look insane. standing under the awning of a café in the pouring rain, tears streaming down your cheeks as you hold a hot chocolate and a phone. it must be a laughable sight.
heeseung’s voice breaks you out of your thoughts, calm and serious, a vast difference from the usual teasing, smug tone he has. “i’ll be there soon. when i get there just walk to my car, alright? i’ll pull up next to the curb.”
you nod, forgetting he can’t see you. when you finally speak, your voice is barely above a whisper, defeated, shaky. “okay.”
the call ends, leaving you in silence again. a shaky sigh leaves your lips as your hand wipes your tears, trying your best to collect yourself. you take a sip of your hot chocolate, the warm liquid providing a small sense of comfort in whatever whirlwind your day has turned into.
nerves fill you again, the thought that you could be a burden creeping into your mind. your hands shake as you rub at your eyes, trying to push the thoughts away. god, you don’t wanna be a total mess when heeseung gets here, but you can’t stop crying. you force yourself to focus on something different. business proposal, hot chocolate, your favorite salad, cats. anything that makes you happy. and slowly but surely, your tears turn into small sniffles.
you watch cars drive by, but there’s not a lot. most classes are out by now and students don’t wanna be parading in this rain. the rain doesn’t let up- if anything, it’s gotten heavier, wind whipping around you at this point.
after a few minutes, you finally see a car pulling up. the sight is so reassuring, but you can’t stop the way your pulse speeds up, or the nerves that run through you. your feet don’t move at first, still too caught in your emotions to move. you take a small step, slow, cautious, before the rain showers you, pelting, hard. you speed up quickly, ignoring the chill of the water as you cling to your hot chocolate, as if that will do anything to warm you up in this weather. it’s lukewarm by now, anyway.
when you reach the car, heeseung’s eyes are on you, the window rolling down as you get closer. “get in,” he says, voice low, but not unkind, “you’re shaking.”
you can only nod, pulling open the door and slipping inside. the warmth of the car immediately envelops you, feeling like a warm hug. you try your best to ignore the way your clothes, now wet, feel against your body. neither of you says anything, but you can feel his eyes on you. you finally turn, meeting his eyes. he looks… concerned.
he raises his eyebrows, waiting for you to speak. you don’t. so he finally does, his voice softer than it was before. “you wanna talk about it?”
you shake your head, a new wave of emotions hitting you at his question. you blink back the hot tears brimming your eyes again, snapping your head towards the window as a shaky breath leaves you. “thank you,” you sniffle, your voice quiet. defeated.
he hums, his voice reassuring, whether he means it or not. it feels like it’s grounding you in the chaotic mess of your emotions. “don’t worry about it.”
without another word, he pulls away from the curb. heading towards the dorms. he doesn’t tease you, doesn’t ask any more questions. the only noise is the soft radio, the car’s engine, and the rain pattering outside.
you bite your lip, trying to hold back a new wave of tears as you rest your head against the window. it doesn’t work. tears spill down your cheeks, your breathing irregular, labored, as you try to stay quiet, wiping at your eyes as inconspicuously as you can.
heeseung notices, looking at you out of the corner of his eye. he doesn’t push, simply turning up the volume of the radio, masking the sounds of your tears behind the music. it’s such a small action, but it makes your stomach flip, taking a small sip of your hot chocolate to ground yourself.
as you get closer to the dorms, your thoughts swirl, uncontrollable, chaotic. you close your eyes, taking deep breaths. you need to forget about today. pretend it never happened, pretend it was all just a nightmare that you’re going to wake up from tomorrow morning.
but as you sit there, dried tears on your face as you look over at heeseung, your heart speeds up a bit. maybe you needed a distraction. maybe you just needed… something to take your mind off of the day. he turns to you, meeting your eyes, and you glance down at your hands quickly. god, you must look like shit right now.
would it be weird if you asked for another kiss? would that actually take your mind off of how bad today was? thoughts swirl in your mind, half of yourself telling you to just go for it, be bold, ask for what you want. the other side battles it, scenarios of him giving you a dirty look, like the stranger did, filling your mind. you sigh, shaking your head. there’s too much going on in your mind right now for you to also be dealing with this.
the car slows as heeseung pulls up outside your dorm. the low hum of the radio filling the tense silence between the two of you. you should leave. unbuckle your seatbelt, thank him for the ride, open the door, and go back to your dorm. but you don’t. you sit there.
your fingers tighten around the cup in your lap, feeling the paper mold to your grip. you can feel his gaze flickering to you. waiting. you keep your eyes fixed on the window, watching the rain droplets race each other down the glass. your heartbeat sped up in your chest, the pounding in your ears drowning out the noise of anything else.
you should just go. but you can’t move. you inhale shakily, focusing on every ounce of courage you have. “heeseung,” you begin, but the moment you turn your head, his attention on you, the words get caught in your throat. refusing to leave.
he hums, waiting for you to continue. you swallow, nerves building. this is stupid. this is so stupid. what if he says no? what if laughs in your face? the weight of today is already pressing down on you, heavy, suffocating. if he rejects you, if he looks at you with even a fraction of the disdain the stranger at the café did, you might just end it.
you should forget it. push your thoughts aside and leave the car. just curl up in bed and go to sleep. your thoughts aren’t correct right now. your mind is jumbled, your emotions are out of whack-
but then he shifts slightly. placing his elbow on the center console as he faces you. his full, undivided attention on you. he’s waiting.
your breath stutters, heat climbing up your neck. “at the party,” you begin, your voice quiet, barely above a whisper. “when we-“ you stop, shutting your eyes for a second. it’s too late to back out now, you’re already speaking. “when we kissed.”
he doesn’t move, doesn’t say anything, simply waiting for you to continue. your breath is shaky, your next words unsure. “did that mean anything to you?”
you regret the words the moment they leave your lips. you sound desperate. pathetic. needy. you shake your head quickly, shutting your eyes. “forget it,” you mumble, as if you can take back the words you just said. “i’m a mess right-“
“i wouldn’t have done it if it didn’t,” heeseung speaks, cutting you off. his voice is quieter than usual. softer, but still firm. “that was your first kiss.”
your pulse stutters, a breath catching in your throat. you finally turn to look at him, your stomach twisting at the intensity of his gaze.
you should stop talking. end this before you do something you’ll regret. but you keep talking, your voice so quiet, you’re unsure if he hears it over the sound of the radio. “can you… can you do it again?”
his eyes widen a bit, but the moment is brief. a flicker. and then that unreadable look is back. you want to take your words back immediately, erase this moment from existence entirely. “you don’t have to,” you add, words tumbling out before you can stop them. “it’s just- fuck. today has been horrible, and i can’t stop thinking about that kiss, and i thought that maybe-“
“are you sure?” heeseung asks, cutting your rambling off again. his voice is softer now, almost as quiet as yours. like these words are only meant to heard by the two of you, hidden from the rest of the world.
you swallow, setting your cup in his cup holder. you don’t trust your voice right now- can't trust it- so you nod instead.
for a second, he only watches you, his expression unreadable. it sends a chill through you, anxiety seeping in. then he slowly reaches up, tucking a strand of damp hair behind your ear. his touch is soft, barely there, but it’s everything you need right now. his gaze flickers over yours- searching for any signs of hesitation. like he’s waiting for you to pull away. but you don’t. you lean in slightly, a silent confirmation. and that’s all it takes.
“okay,” he murmurs. and then his lips are on yours again.
his lips brush against yours, soft, careful, like he’s still making sure this is what you want. he doesn’t press hard, his hand holding your jaw, his lips barely there. you shudder at his touch, at the feeling of him. and then you kiss him back.
it's hesitant- unsure. you still don’t know how to do this, how to match someone’s rhythm, someone who knows what they’re doing. but heeseung doesn’t rush you. it’s not overwhelming. he just guides you, and you let him.
he tilts his head slightly, molding his lips against yours, coaxing you to follow his lead. and you do. you follow the way his lips move, melting more into the kiss by the second. you can feel his other hand moving, his fingers ghosting over the side of your neck. you shiver at his touch, the warmth, the position of his touch sending a wave of heat rushing through you.
his fingers rest on the back of your neck, just below your hairline. his touch is gentle, guiding you closer to him, and you let him, instinctively moving closer to him. the kiss deepens just slightly, his hand pulling you even closer.
you should pull away. stop here. this should be enough. but you want more. a flicker of something unfamiliar and new buzzes in your chest, and you’re moving before you can think too much about it. your hands reach out, finding the front of his hoodie as your hands grip the fabric, pulling him even closer.
that changed everything. heeseung exhales sharply against your lips, and then he’s kissing you harder, deeper. your brain short circuits, the added intensity unfamiliar, but so welcomed. his grip on the back of your neck loosens, his fingers tangling in your hair.
a small noise escapes you, desperate, wanting. it’s barely audible over the noise of the radio and the rain against the windshield. but he hears it. you know he does. you feel the way his fingers tighten in your hair, tilting your head as he deepens the kiss, a quiet hum vibrating in his throat.
your head is spinning. it’s only your second kiss ever, you’re still fumbling to keep up, still clumsy in your movements. but the way he’s holding you, guiding you through it like he knows exactly what he’s doing- he does- you don’t have to think too much. you just follow his movements.
your body melts into his touch, the nerves leading your body as you focus on his kisses and nothing else. your fingers loosen their grip on his hoodie, threading into his hair, your fingers tightening slightly. his breath hitches for a second, a noise leaving his lips. it sends a shiver down your spine. his lips slow, his kisses growing softer again, like he’s trying to ground himself. the thought makes your stomach flip, so many different feelings swirling inside you. new feelings. foreign feelings. but you love them.
neither of you speak when you finally pull away, your foreheads resting against each other. you’re both breathless, lips parted and swollen as you catch your breath. your hands stay tangled in each other’s hair, like neither of you want to let go just yet.
the air is thick with something unspoken, like a line was crossed tonight. you don’t care right now. you don’t want to think about that.
part of your mind knows you should pull away, create some distance before this goes further than it already has. but you don’t want to. so you don’t.
your fingers that are tangled in his hair tighten slightly, and before you can stop yourself, you’re leaning in again. pressing your lips against his, not soft, not gentle. you want more.
heeseung exhales softly, and it’s like his resolve snaps. like everything he was holding back breaks at your movements. his hands drop to your waist, tugging slightly. you pull away from his lips, your breath heavy as your brows furrow.
“what-“ you begin, blinking in confusion.
he cuts you off with a quiet laugh, his voice almost teasing, but with a hint of warmness that’s not usually there. “trust me.”
and you do. you let his hands lift you, the space between you becoming increasingly smaller. the awkwardness of the car’s cramped interior makes your movements more careful. you let him guide you over the center console, your body bending slightly as it digs into your legs.
and then you’re in his lap. his hands remain on your waist, just holding you, watching you. your hands rest on his shoulders, steadying yourself. the new proximity makes your pulse stutter, so close to him it feels dizzying.
his eyes search over your face, before his hands find your back, and he’s pulling you into him. his lips are on yours again, and every thought you had vanishes. this kiss is different than the other two.
it's hungrier, more desperate. like he was holding back, waiting for permission to let go. and you gave him that. his hands are everywhere- your back, trailing up your sides, your thighs, your hips, his touch desperate. like he’s trying to commit you to his memory.
it's dizzying. intoxicating. your hands tangle in his hoodie again, trying to ground yourself as a small noise slips past your lips. everywhere he touches feels like it leaves fire in his wake.
and then his lips leave yours. your breath catches as his lips move lower. he kisses the corner of your mouth, then your jaw. the sensation is foreign. it’s overwhelming. you can feel his breath against your skin, sending a shiver down your spine as a sigh leaves your lips. his hand on your thigh tightens at the noise, a noise coming from deep in his throat as his kisses become messier.
his kisses trail along your neck, sucking, kissing, his breath ghosting over your skin. you felt hot. your fingers tighten in his hoodie, a sharp exhale leaving your lips. your heart is racing, your breathing picking up. your body is reacting to sensations you’ve never experienced before. your head falls back slightly, his lips exploring more area. it’s intoxicating. dizzying. but it’s a lot. it’s too much all at once, as much as you want more.
the moment you shift slightly, heeseung notices. his kisses stop, but he doesn’t pull away. his breath is warm against your neck before, slowly, he lifts his head, his gaze searching yours. his grip on your body loosens slightly, just resting there now.
“you okay?” his voice is low, laced with something that makes your head spin. “too much?”
you swallow, grounding yourself. you want this. you want his touch, his kisses, his attention on you. but it feels like it’s moving too fast, caught between the two emotions.
you nod, before quickly shaking your head. “i-“ you stutter, your voice quiet, breathy and shaky. “i don’t know. it’s a lot. but i want it.”
his brows draw together slightly. he doesn’t look angry, he looks concerned. his voice is quiet, comforting. his hands slide to rest on your waist, simply holding you. “we’ll stop for now. i don’t want to rush you.”
his voice is steady, but his breathing is uneven. there’s an emotion in his eyes you can’t place. they’re darker, flickering over your face. your heart lurches at the mention of ‘for now.’ he wants more as well. you exhale, your breath shaky as you nod. “okay.”
you want to feel something more. you don’t want to move, don’t want to leave the moment. so you lean in, your cheek resting against his shoulder as you breathe out, the warmth of his body grounding you.
his hands hover slightly over your waist, before they trail up your back, hands splaying out as he tugs you closer to him. it’s intimate. too intimate. you’re crossing a line, and you know it.
his chest rises and falls beneath you, his steady breathing calming your erratic heartbeat. the warmth of his body feels like a blanket, everything quiet. you let the silence wash over you. it’s not awkward. it’s comfortable. the only sound that surrounds you is the rain, and the soft radio, “delicate” by taylor swift playing quietly.
his thumbs rub against your back, the small action causing a quiet hum to leave you as you shift against him, getting more comfortable. you hear a quiet laugh leave him, so soft it almost just sounds like a breath. his voice is soft, but it has the familiar teasing tone you’re used to. “you good, princess?”
the nickname feels different this time- not used to tease anymore. like an unspoken acknowledgement that something has shifted, the layers of tension being peeled back slowly, your desires coming to fruition more every time you see him. it’s something neither of you want to say out loud, but you both feel it.
you smile softly, nodding your head against his shoulder. “yeah. i’m good,” you whisper, your voice soft.
he hums, tilting his head slightly so his lips brush against your ear as he speaks again, his voice so soft. “you sure? i know that was… a lot.”
and you know it was. you’re feeling so much. so many feelings swirling in your chest. but you only nod, not wanting to break the moment. “yeah.”
you press closer into him, snuggling up against his warmth. his arms tighten just slightly around you, locking you in his embrace, like you would ever want to leave.
“i’m not going anywhere,” he laughs softly, feeling your hands grip his hoodie just a bit tighter. his voice has a warmth you’ve never heard before, the tone making your stomach flip, and you only hum in response, snuggling your head further against his shoulder.
you know you’re down bad, you know you’re falling. hell, you’ve already fallen. part of you knows it’s a bad idea. while the other part just wants to live. wants to experience this moment. the serenity, the soft sound of the radio, and the warmth of lee heeseung.
and for the first time today, it doesn’t feel like everything is falling apart.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
“i don’t know!” you cry out, throwing your hands up as you stare at the two girls sat in front of you with their jaws dropped. "i don’t even know what happened! it’s all a mess!”
yunjin stands up, immediately pacing the room as she looks at you, shaking her head in disbelief. “wait, let me get this straight? you made out with him. in a car. in the rain? y/n, what the fuck?”
wonyoung, still sitting, crosses her arms. “and you didn’t think to- what, call us? text us? i don’t know, anything.”
you roll your eyes, staring back at her. “i did call you guys. yunjin was too busy getting her back blown out by beomgyu, and god knows what you were doing. he was the last person i could call, and i wasn’t about to walk home sobbing in that rain!”
yunjin stops pacing, turning to you with her jaw dropped. “that’s a valid reason to not pick up the phone!”
wonyoung’s face scrunches up in confusion, her head tilting. “you called me? i was watching youtube, i swear my phone didn’t ring.”
you throw your hands up in frustration. “i don’t care! it’s in the past, i’m just- fuck, i’m losing my mind. i don’t know what i’m supposed to feel.”
yunjin looks at wonyoung, the two sharing a look of disbelief. “okay. you asked him to kiss you, so obviously part of you knows what you’re feeling.”
“i don’t-“ you groan, dropping your head in your hands. “i’ve never done this before, yunjin! it’s all new to me. it’s terrifying.”
wonyoung smirks, clearly enjoying your misery. “you’re down bad, girl. just admit it.”
you sigh, falling back onto the couch. “i know i’m down bad, wonyoung. i blush just thinking about the guy.”
yunjin sucks in a breath, sitting down next to you. “brutal. so, like, what happened after? you made out, then what?”
you pause, mind still spinning as you recount the memories of everything. you turn away from her, your voice quiet as you speak. “he like… pulled me into his lap. and he was kissing my neck…”
there’s a long silence. no one saying anything. you look back to see yunjin and wonyoung both staring at you with wide eyes.
“what the fuck?” wonyoung yells, standing up. you press a finger over your mouth, begging her to shut up. she shakes her head, continuing to ramble. “y/n! oh my god, this is insane!”
you place your hands over your face, heat crawling up your cheeks. “i know! i don’t know what i’m doing, guys! then we kinda hugged? and just sat there for like ten minutes. we only stopped because my legs were falling asleep and i made up some excuse to go inside.”
yunjin only sighs, leaning her head back against the couch. “you’re so oblivious. he wants you.”
you raise an eyebrow at her, slowly uncovering your face. “you don’t know that. why would he want me when he has a ton of other girls that know so much more than i do? i feel like a burden, like he has to teach me everything. i chickened out from a few seconds of him kissing my fucking neck!”
wonyoung laughs, shaking her head. “i don’t know, y/n. why do guys do half of the stuff that they do?” she stretches, raising her arms above her head as she continues. “plus, not every guys mind is filed with sex. maybe he’s okay with taking it slow with you. i still can’t believe you bagged heeseung of all people, though. he’s known for his hook-ups.”
“that’s exactly what i mean,” you mumble, your voice growing more defeated by the second. “maybe this isn’t a good idea. i feel like an idiot.”
yunjin sits up, smacking your stomach before rising to her feet. “stop doubting yourself. you’re hot, okay? you’re looking into it too much, i promise.”
you only glance at her, a pout on your lips. she sighs, grabbing your arms and pulling you to sit up. “i’m not saying to rush into anything, alright? don’t forget his reputation. but if he was willing to just hold you for ten minutes like that? there’s obviously something more there.”
you give her a half-smile, considering her words. they hit deep, considering that his reputation had been the one thing lingering in the back of your mind when you got butterflies thinking about something that he did. what if you were just a game? just something to entertain him until the next girl came along?
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
the last few days had been brutal. you had forgetting what having a crush- an actual crush- felt like. on top of the… physical aspect of it, you were losing your mind.
searching for heeseung around campus, daydreaming in class, your body heating up at the memory of his hands on you. you felt like a teenage boy with raging hormones. it didn’t help that you barely ever had the form to yourself, so being able to act on your desires was rare.
now, it’s 10pm. you’re sitting in your room, finishing up some last minute assignments. yunjin is in her bed, scrolling on her phone, tiktoks playing quietly in the background. you submit your last assignment, your phone buzzing next to you. you glance at it, expecting a random notification, but it’s a text from heeseung.
your heart speeds up just slightly.
heeseung [10:20 pm]: u busy?you squint at the message. your stomach twists slightly, the two simple words sending a rush of adrenaline through you.
you pick it up, anyway, typing out a quick response. you tell yourself to act normal. he can’t tell if you’re flustered over text.
you [10:21 pm] why?it’s read immediately. and almost just as quickly, three dots appear.
heeseung [10:21 pm]: wanna watch a movieoh, for fuck’s sake. this could only mean one thing. you felt your pulse speed up slightly, your fingers hovering over the keyboard before you send your response.
you [10:22 pm]: watch it yourselfheeseung [10:22 pm]: don’t want toyou sigh, reading his message over and over. you couldn’t fall for a trap this easily, but yet, you wanted to.
you [10:22 pm]: ask jake or somethingheeseung [10:23 pm]: he doesn’t look as good as uyour breath catches. oh. your whole body felt like it was heating up, betraying you quicker than your mind was. you should ignore him. put down the phone, pretend this conversation didn’t happen. save your sanity.
heeseung [10:24 pm]: u gonna respond?fuck it.
you [10:24 pm]: i hate u. be there in 10.you push yourself off the bed, yunjin sending you a look when you grab your jacket, pulling it over your arms.
“are you going somewhere?” she asks, tilting her head. you jump slightly at her voice. you had forgotten she was here. fuck.
“uh, yeah.”
she raises an eyebrow, a tiktok playing on loop as she watches you. “at 10:30 pm?”
fuck. think of an excuse. anything. “yeah, i need to-“ you glance around, your eyes landing on your backpack. “i need to print something!”
she just stares at you, her expression full of amusement. “print something.”
you want the floor to swallow you. “yeah.”
"...at 10:30?”
"yep!” you reply, trying your hardest to seem believable.
she blinks. “what do you need a printer for?”
“class!” you reply quickly. too quickly. “what else would i need it for? that’s why, i’m going to the library.”
her eyes narrow, her eyebrows furrowing. “the library closes at nine.”
fuck. you’re horrible at this. “wonyoung has a printer! in her dorm! so i’m going. to print. my paper. because class is important.”
no response. silence envelops the two of you. finally, she tilts her head. “you don’t have class tomorrow.”
you’re going to slam your head into the wall. “fine!” you exclaim, throwing your hands up. “i’m going to walmart for snacks! is that better?”yunjin holds back a laugh, her eyes flickering with amusement. “snack run. got it.”
“yeah, i had to lie or else… or else you would ask me to buy you something. and i don’t have a lot of money.” you reply. she only smirks. she knows you’re full of shit. you know she knows.
“okay,” she shrugs, looking back at her phone. you let out a deep breath you didn’t know you were holding, walking towards the door. just as your hand touches the doorknob, she speaks again. “use protection.”
you freeze, your stomach dropping. you turn to look at her, slowly. “what?”
she keeps her eyes trained on her phone, but there’s a shit-eating grin on her face. “you heard me.”
you gasp incredulously, glancing around the room. “i told you i’m going to walmart.”
she snorts, finally glancing up at you, “yeah, and i’m going to paris next weekend.”
you glare at her, flipping her off. “it was the best i could come up with! you put me on the spot!”
“it was horrible,” she sighs, shaking her head in disappointment before continuing, “i don’t care what you’re do, but at least lie better. and i’m a bit offended you didn’t just tell me the truth.”
you shake your head, embarrassment rushing through you. “nothing’s happening!”
“no.” she replies, a smirk on her lips as she turns off her phone, placing it next to her. “you’re getting dicked down by lee heeseung. that’s what’s happening.”
your jaw drops, and you yank the door open, your face burning red. “i am not! shut up!”
“goodnight, y/n,” she muses, a teasing smile on her lips.
you slam the door shut behind you, stomping down the hall. fuck. that was humiliating. you’re never living that down. she’s probably texting wonyoung at this exact moment, telling her everything that just happened.
you groan out loud, your head falling back as you wait outside the elevator, sending heeseung a text.
you [10:27 pm]: i’m going to kill u.you don’t wait for his response, stepping into the elevator as it opens. your stomach is twisting in anticipation, for… whatever is going to happen tonight. your body is betraying you. your mind is betraying you. thoughts flickering through your mind, making you feel dizzy as you walk to his dorm.
it’s a short enough walk, simply enjoying the scenery of campus as you make your way to his dorm. it’s quiet at this hour, and it almost feels like you’re the only one here, besides the student you pass every few minutes. every step feels heavier, like you’re getting closer to what you know is a like you haven’t crossed before. as if you haven’t crossed more in the last week than you ever thought you would.
when you finally make it to his dorm, following the directions he gave you, your heart pounds in your chest as you stand outside his door. you hesitate, before raising your hand and knocking once. twice.
you hear footplates approaching the door, before it swings open and- oh.
your mouth almost waters at the sight. heeseung is standing there, a white wifebeater clinging to his skin, grey sweatpants low on his hips. his hair is messy and disheveled, making him look even more irresistible. his arms are crossed against his chest, muscles flexing every time he moves slightly.
your brain stops working, your eyes raking over his figure before you realize what you’re doing. they snap back up to his face, but it’s too late. he already has the smug look on his face, and you’re praying he doesn’t say anything.
luckily, by the grace of god, he doesn’t. he leans against the doorframe, raising his eyebrows slightly. “took you long enough.”
you sigh, your lips pursing as you glare at him. “shut up. i’m here, aren’t i?”
“yeah.” he says, voice dropping with teasing tone as he tilts his head. “i was starting to miss you, pretty girl.”
your eyes widen a bit at the new nickname, and you swear your heart skips a few beats. you want to slam your head into the nearest wall repeatedly. you want him to-
no. you take a deep breath, forcing yourself to get a grip. “move,” you finally say, pushing past him and entering his dorm.
it looks like a typical college athlete dorm room. he was lucky enough to get a whole dorm to himself, basketball posters littering the walls, a pc set up where the other bed usually goes, and a small couch and tv off to the other side of the room. it was cozy, and not too cluttered.
he lets you push him, and you try not to focus on how his muscles feel so much more defined through his tank top than they did through his hoodie. “damn, princess. you’re killing me.”
you roll your eyes, walking over to his couch and plopping down on it. you watch as he shuts the door, stepping closer to you. his smirk stays on his lips, his eyes full of something you can’t read, but it sends a shiver down your spine.
“so,” you begin, trying to keep your emotions in check. “what movie are we watching?”
he doesn’t say anything, simply sitting next to you on the couch and turning the tv on. the movie of choice is waiting to be played, and your eyes squint slightly.
“10 things i hate about you?” your voice comes out more surprised than you meant, and heeseung looks at you, tilting his head. you hadn’t expected this choice. you were expecting him to pick a marvel movie, or mad max, something that guys watch, you didn’t know.
his smile is smug, glancing at the tv and back at you. “yeah,” he shrugs, not seeing the big deal. “do you not like it?”
you blink, thrown off. a rom-com? it’s not something you had expected heeseung- or any college boy in general- to enjoy. you feel like you’re uncovering a new side of him, one that you haven’t seen before.
you shake your head quickly, “no, it’s one of my favorites. just didn’t think you would watch something like this.”
he raises an eyebrow in response, leaning back against the couch as he presses play. “i’m a man of depth, y/n.” his voice is teasing, his eyes flickering from yours to the tv.
your stomach flips, but you don’t say anything else. you settle back into the couch, unsure of how much distance to put between the two of you.
about halfway through the movie, patrick and kat finally kiss. lying down after the paintball game, against the hay. it’s like you can feel the tension snapping between them, your eyes staring longingly at the screen.
you can’t look away. it’s something you’ve always wanted. the kind of love you’ve always wanted to experience (well, besides the fact it all started as a bet). your mind flickers to you and heeseung and whatever… this is.
without thinking, the words spill out, wistful, longing. “i’ve always wanted a love like theirs. this movie is perfect.”
silence. the reality of who you just spoke those words in front of settles in. you blink, wanting the ground to swallow you. you glance over at heeseung, praying to every god that he somehow didn’t hear you. he definitely did.
his eyes flicker towards yours, the corner of his mouth lifting into that signature smirk. he doesn’t say anything at first, just watching you, the way you shift in your seat, obviously regretting your choice of words.
“yeah?” he finally asks, his voice low and teasing. it sends a chill through your body, and he leans just a bit closer. “i guess they are pretty nice together, aren’t they? reminds me of us.”
his words make your eyes widen just slightly, your pulse speeding up at his comment. you swallow, hard. your mouth opens, but no words leave your lips. his gaze stays on yours, intense, waiting. but you can’t speak. the room feels like it’s shrinking, the air suddenly too think to breathe.
he tilts his head, the stupid smirk still on his lips. “cat got your tongue?” his voice is still low, but there’s something else to it now. you bite your lip, nerves crackling between the both of you. the movie continues to play, but it’s just background noise now, only sound filling the heated silence between you.
he shifts, his body facing yours completely now, making him feel so much closer. the smirk on his face drops slightly, an unreadable expression taking over his features. your breath stutters, and you force words to leave your lips. “well… i mean-“
he leans in closer, so close you can feel his warm breath against your skin. your heartbeat quickens, suddenly feeling overwhelmed with the moment. you try to ignore your nerves, your erratic heartbeat, your shaky breath, the way your lips part slightly. but it’s impossible.
he raises a hand to cup your jaw, his thumb brushing against your bottom lip. “tell me,” he murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper, laced with something you can’t quite place. he drags your bottom lip down with his thumb, before letting it fall back into place. “you ever think about that with someone like me?”
you swear your heartbeat stops. because you have. god, of course you have. but the words are stuck in your throat, the moment too tense for you to force any words out. you can’t even think straight. you feel surrounded by him. the look in his eyes, the proximity, his touch.
you inhale sharply, your eyes closing for just a second as you try to ground yourself. it’s useless. you’re too far gone, the moment is too tense. his gaze flickers to your lips, a soft breath leaving his lips, and something inside you snaps.
your lips crash against his, your hands threading into his hair to pull him closer. he reciprocates immediately, groaning against your lips, like he had been waiting all night for this. his hand on your jaw tilts your head, deepening the kiss. it’s frantic, messy, and desperate. charged with emotion and the tension that had been building all night. all the unsaid words pouring themselves into the way your lips move against each other.
his free hand finds your waist, pulling you closer. slowly, he shifts his hand to your back, fingers splaying out as he secures you, slowly guiding you down until you’re lying back on the couch, your bodies pressed together, his legs between yours. his weight settles over you, caging you in, but it feels like more than that. something you can’t quite place.
your fingers leave his hair, trailing down to his chest, your breath stuttering as you feel the way his muscles move beneath his tank top, desire shooting through you. his tongue prods at your bottom lip, asking for more, your mouth opening instinctively to let him in. your breath catches as his tongue brushes against yours. it’s a foreign feeling, and you don’t know what to do. your inexperience is painfully obvious, insecurity filling you. but heeseung doesn’t rush you. his hand on your jaw tilts your head slightly, coaxing you to follow his movements. his kisses are slower now, letting you adjust. it’s messy and uncertain, but he exhales against your lips, hot and heavy, and you realize that he doesn’t care. your inexperience doesn’t matter to him. he wants this. you want this. you let yourself relax, your lips moving more confidently against his.
something inside you clicks, your resolve shattering as your mind is clouded with the desire. the want for more. more of his lips, his touch, everything. your body feels like it’s on fire, need spreading throughout you. you pull back, gasping for air, both of your chests rising and falling as you catch your breath. your mind is hazy from the intensity of the kiss, of the feelings swirling through you.
heeseung’s gaze softens slightly, like he’s about to say something, but before he can speak, you interrupt him. your voice is shaky, but firm. “i want more.”
he stares at you for a second, processing your words. then, his eyes darken, and it’s like you can feel the shift in the room. a deep, guttural groan leaves his lips, and before you can process it, his lips are back on yours. his kisses are deeper, more urgent, desperate, like you just shattered his last ounce of restraint he had. you feel dizzy, his kisses intoxicating. his touch grows more fervent, one tangling in your hair to tilt your head.
you sigh against his lips, everything feeling like too much and not enough at the same time as your hands grip his biceps, grounding yourself to something. his tongue slides against yours in a way that makes your head spin, the intensity of his kisses sending your mind reeling.
and then he shifts. just slightly, but his hips press against yours. it’s subtle, unintentional, but it sends a shock through your body, a familiar spark burning in your core. you gasp against his lips, your fingers tightening around his biceps as the pleasure spreads.
he notices. fuck, of course he notices. hears the small, shaky sound that leaves you. he pulls back just slightly, his breath warm against your lips. his voice is low, dripping with amusement. “that feel good, princess?”
you tighten around nothing, your thighs attempting to close, squeeze together, ease some of the tension you’re feeling. but you can’t, not with heeseung in between your legs. his lips curve into a smirk, picking up on every detail about your body. he presses his lips against yours again. rolling his hips again, this time deliberately.
your breath stutters. the feeling is overwhelming, too much with all the emotions you’re already feeling, but you want it. your fingers dig into his biceps, using your grip as an anchor for your sanity, but he doesn’t stop. his lips trail along your jaw, down your neck, his voice tickling your skin. “you like that, don’t you?”
you can’t answer, can barely breathe. you try to speak, but he rolls his hips just right, pressing right against your clit, and a whimper slips past your lips. he hears it. loves it. but when you don’t answer, he slows his hips, the loss of friction making your fingers tighten.
you go to protest, but he speaks before you. “c’mon princess”, he murmurs, hand sliding down to grip your waist. “i asked you a question.”
he shifts slightly- just enough for you to feel it. but it’s not enough. your core clenches at the fleeting pressure. “don’t get all shy on me now,” he hums, angling your hips just right before rolling his agan. slower, more controlled.
your nails dig into his arms, head tipping back slightly. it’s not enough. and he knows. he’s waiting. waiting for you to break. and finally, you do. you gasp, voice breathless and desperate as it leaves your lips. “yes.”
he huffs out a laugh against your ear, a shiver running down your spine. “that’s my girl.” his lips crash against yours, grinding against you harder, pulling gasps and whimpers from you.
“fuck,” he exhales, forehead resting against yours. his breath is ragged, fingers tightening on your waist, like he’s trying to hold back.
but you need more. your hips push up, chasing the dizzying pleasure. his grip tightens, his hips rocking harder, faster. “shit- princess…” he groans, burying his face in the crook of your neck. then you feel it. the solid press of him through his sweats. fuck, he’s huge. your stomach clenches, an involuntary moan leaving you. he’s hard, because of you. he’s enjoying this.
you shift again, your underwear sticking uncomfortably to yourself, voice shaky and broken. “heeseung-“
his hand slides beneath your shirt, fingers splaying across your waist. his lips hover against yours, voice quiet, strained. “i’ve got you.”
it's too much. every roll of his hips, every kiss, every touch. your head rolls back, eyes fluttering shut as pleasure rushes through you. you can feel the knot in your stomach tightening, so close to tipping over the edge.
heeseung watches, his breath hitching. his eyes are dark, lidded, filled with lust. his hands tighten on your waist, hips pressing harder. “you close, princess?”
you nod, your hips trying to push up against him, but he holds you down, forcing you to take it. a groan leaves his lips, his voice strained as he grits his teeth. “fuck… you’re gonna make me blow a load in my pants.”
his words make you shiver, barely processing words at this point. and then his hips move just right- and you break. your entire body tenses, your back arching off the couch as a broken cry leaves you, white-hot pleasure crashing over you.
heeseung’s brows are furrowed, his jaw slack, watching as you tremble beneath him. and that’s all it takes for him. his fingers grip your waist tighter, his hips stuttering against yours as a choked gasp spills past his lips. “ah, fuck-“ he groans out, finally finishing in his pants. his body shakes against yours, the feeling only heightening your pleasure.
it’s silent for a bit, the only sounds being the movie playing quietly in the background and your heaving breaths. you can still feel the aftershocks, your mind foggy, having felt as if it's flown somewhere far away. and then, a quiet, breathless laugh leaves heeseung’s lips. “damn, princess.”
your lips part, but nothing but a soft exhale leaves your lips. your heartbeat is pounding in your ears, everything feeling too heavy. heeseung’s expression shifts, his amusement turning into something softer, his fingers brushing against your cheek. his touch sends a shiver down your spine, still hypersensitive. “you good?”
your eyes finally flutter open, blinking softly. you manage a small nod, slowly coming back to reality.
a small laugh leaves his lips, but his tone remains soft. “you sure? you look like you’re on another planet.”
you nod again, and then reality sinks in. you just came in your pants because of lee heeseung. you basically had indirect sex with lee heeseung. your eyes widen slightly, a hand covering your eyes as you groan quietly. “i can’t believe we just did that.”
he leans down just slightly, his lips brushing against yours ever so softly. “believe it, baby.”
you let out an exasperated laugh, rolling your eyes as you shove at his chest. “literally shut up.”
he only laughs, pushing himself so he’s hovering above you. he just watches you for a moment, silence enveloping you as you both process everything. and then. “not gonna lie, i’ve never came in my pants before.”
your eyes widen, just looking at him. “oh.” you blink, averting your gaze. but then, something clicks. you did that. you were a first for him, too. it causes something proud to bloom in your chest, holding back a smile.
“why do you-“ heeseung squints at you, an amused scoff leaving his lips. “are you proud of yourself right now?”
you avert your gaze, poorly biting back a smile. “no.”
“oh my god,” he groans, his head dropping to rest against your chest. “you so are.”
you giggle, trying to ignore how his touch affects you. “i mean, i think that’s kinda an accomplishment. don’t you?”
he lifts his head, an amused expression on his face. he laughs softly, shaking his head. “you’re unreal.”
“i guess you’re rubbing off on me,” you shrug, pushing some hair out of his face. due to his positioning, though, it falls back right away.
“and, uh…” you hand runs down his face, fingers grazing down his chest as your eyes remain on his. “i’ve never done that with anyone before.”
he lets out a quiet curse, and you can feel his muscles tensing under your fingers. he finally snaps out of it, glancing down at where you’re still connected. “this is just uncomfortable now.”
you shift your hips, trying to ease some of the uncomfortable stickiness. it backfires, heeseung’s hand gripping your hip as he sucks a breath in through his teeth. “don’t move.”
it sends a jolt of electricity through you, your lips parting slightly. fuck, this was such new territory for you. before you can speak, heseung is pushing himself off of you, standing up with a groan.
“i’m gonna go get us some pants.”
you push yourself up on your elbows, your stomach doing a little flip. the word leaves your lips before you can think about it. “us?”
he tilts his head, a soft smile on his lips. “yes, us. i’m not letting you sleep over in ruined pants.”
sleep over. you’re sleeping over. you’re spending the night at a guys dorm- heeseung’s dorm.
“don’t look so surprised, princess. i’m not letting you walk home this late,” he speaks again, watching your surprised expression.
and when he reaches out his hand, pulling you up to your feet, you let him. you let him get you a change of pants. you let him pull you closer in bed. you let yourself fall asleep in lee heeseung’s arms, even though your heart is beating out of your chest the whole time.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
it’s been two weeks. two weeks of this… thing with heeseung. and you’re happy. you’ve never felt this way about anyone before.
you’re not dating. neither of you would call it that. no one has. not yunjin, not wonyoung, not his friends- but they all have that look in their eyes when they see you together. they know. because you’re together. kind of.
you go to his games occasionally, dragging either yunjin or wonyoung along. because he asked you to come. he wanted you to be there.he’s on time for study sessions, even picking you up from your dorm sometimes. half the time is spent actually getting work done, and the other half is spent talking about everything and nothing at the same time.
you go out together now. you take heeseung with you to your favorite café after class. you remember the first time you walked in with him after everything. a few of the workers just stared at you. you always came in alone, but here you were with lee heeseung, standing so close to each other, whispering like your words were only meant for you two.
he takes you to a lookout about a twenty-minute drive from campus. it’s always quiet, peaceful. nothing’s said, but everything is understood. he always takes you late at night, the lights far away creating one of the most beautiful nights. the city feels so close, but so far away. just like everything feels with him.
and then there’s the other moments. the ones that make you question whatever this is.
when he brings your favorite drink to class- because he knows it now. when he watches the shows you recommended, listens to the music you play. when he always makes sure you get home safe, walking you all the way to your door before sending you off. when you catch him looking at you, his eyes softer, something that you can’t quite place. when he can always tell when you’re cold, not even saying anything before he drapes his sweater over your shoulders, going back to whatever he was doing like it was no big deal.it's not obvious you’re together, but it’s obvious that there’s something there. and that’s enough. you’re happy.
you’re happy. right?
the walk to your dorm is quiet. it’s not awkward- it’s never awkward. it’s just quiet. filled with words that neither of you want to say, caught in your swirling minds.
the night is cold, but you can’t feel it. not with heeseung’s hoodie enveloping you, sheltering you from the nipping night air. his shoulder continues to brush against yours, the proximity making you feel safe.
but something feels different tonight. the whole day, something felt off. like all the unspoken words were going to come to fruition. he had acted different tonight. softer. closer.
tonight, he had pulled the hood of your (his) hoodie up when the wind picked up, his fingers lingering for just a second too long. his fingers brushed against yours while you walked together, and for a second, you thought he was going to intertwine your fingers. tonight, he had just watched you when you were speaking. really watched you. like he was memorizing every detail of your face. and now, you’re here at your dorm. and you don’t want to go inside. you don’t want the night to end. you shift your weight from one foot to the other, looking up at heeseung as he stands in front of you. “thanks for walking me back,” you mumble, shoving your hands in the pocket of his hoodie.
heeseung nods, his lips parting. your eyes light up the slightest bit. it looks like he’s going to do something, say something. finally, finally cross that line.
maybe a kiss. not a kiss filled with tension, or a makeout session. a kiss just because. a soft, fleeting goodnight kiss.
but then, he just exhales through his nose, his lips curling into a soft smile. his hands lift, your heart speeding up. it’s happening.
and then, he tugs your hood down. his touch is so soft, it’s comforting. he brushes a strand of hair behind your ear, your breath hitching at the action. his eyes flicker over your face, filled with unsaid words, and you can almost see the way he’s fighting his thoughts.his voice is so quiet when he speaks, filled with something you can’t place. “goodnight, princess.”
you swallow, something akin to disappointment filling you. but you brush it off, simply nodding as you take a step back. “goodnight, heeseung.”his lips part again, but he closes them quickly, simply returning the nod. you try not to let your emotions show, just turning around and entering your dorm, the ghost of whatever moment should’ve just happened disappearing into the air.
the door clicks shut behind you, and now it’s just you. alone. it’s quiet. too quiet. you’re half-expecting yunjin’s voice to fill the room, teasing you, asking you to spill all the details- but it doesn’t. she’s spending the night at beomgyu’s. it’s become routine for her.
part of you wishes that was routine for you and heeseung as well. you sigh, running a hand through your hair before finally making your way to your bed, sliding under the covers. heeseung’s hoodie smells like him. that somehow makes everything worse.
everything should be fine. this shouldn’t be a big deal. but you can’t stop thinking about it. the way he looked at you tonight- hell, the way he’s been looking at you every day lately. how close he got tonight, how his touch lingered. and the look in his eyes. like there was so much he wanted to say. but he didn’t. he never does.
you stare at the ceiling, unsure of whether your feelings are valid or not. this isn’t how you expected your first romance to go. not that this is even a romance. or a relationship. or a situationship. whatever it is.
you always thought love would be easier to understand, to navigate. that you would see someone, and everything would just click. you wouldn’t have to wonder, you wouldn’t be anxious. love at first sight, they call it. maybe you read too many books, watched too many movies. maybe you just had an unrealistic expectation of love.
you push the doubt away, along with the lingering thoughts of confusion. they’re not fair. not to heeseung, and definitely not to you. you’re happy. or, you’re supposed to be happy.
so why does it feel like you’re waiting for something that’s never going to come? something just out of reach, like a mirage? no matter how close you get, it continues to get further away.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
the sun is out, trees rustling slightly with the breeze. you and wonyoung walk side by side, her rambling about how some guy in her economics class- anton- keeps trying to flirt with her. it’s funny. sometimes you wonder if wonyoung truly understands how beautiful she is. you can’t blame the guy.
“girl, i don’t know why you’re surprised,” you roll your eyes, a small laugh leaving your lips, “you’re stunning.”
she smiles, her mouth opening as she goes to respond, but the words die on her lips as both your ears pick up on the conversation happening next to you.
“heeseung? oh yeah, he said they were just messing around.”
something said in passing by a guy talking to his friend. something not meant for your ears, but you heard it. and it hurt. made your stomach twist, a disgusting feeling settling in your gut.
there was a party yesterday. heeseung went. he told you he was going. your mind swirled with endless possibilities. did something happen there? was something said? why are other people talking about you?
you don’t react- at least, not outwardly. but the words feel like a punch to your gut. a bucket of ice water being poured over your head. wonyoung hears it, too. you know she did. you watch as she turns to you, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
“heeseung?” she asks, tilting her head slightly. “did something happen?”
it only makes the ugly feeling inside you worse.
you shake your head, trying to keep your voice as normal as possible. “no. but rumors are just rumors. besides, he’s really popular. people are bound to talk.”
you try to convince yourself you mean what you’re saying out loud. like everything’s fine. like it doesn’t hurt.
she hesitates a bit, studying your face. she opens her mouth, but ultimately nods along to your words slowly, letting it go. she continues to talk, the conversation between you two easily flowing again.
you reply, trying to seem invested. trying to stop the uneasiness forming inside you more and more by the second. but it’s hard. you know heeseung. you know his reputation.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
the café was busy this time of day. conversation and the sound of drinks being made filled the small building, the smell of coffee heavy in the air. you’re sat at your favorite seat in the corner, heeseung sitting across from you. the conversation was flowing easily, the two of you talking about anything that came to your minds.
you didn’t mention what you heard earlier, even though the doubts burned in the back of your mind. as much as you tried to push the thoughts away, they stayed. taunting you.
the bell jingles, alerting that a new customer is walking in. you turn your head, your stomach dropping the second your eyes land on her.
sieun. she makes direct eye contact with you, a slow smirk forming on her face as she walks over. your guard goes up immediately, heeseung having yet to notice her.
you knew about their history. everyone did. an on-and-off fling that lasted for months. they ended things for good just a couple months ago, right before you met heeseung.
“well,” she says, her voice dripping with false sweetness, a fake smile on her lips as she places her hands on the table. “you move on quick, don’t you? i’ve heard a lot about you two.”
your body feels like it goes cold. you glance at heeseung, waiting for him to do something. say anything. but he doesn’t.
his smile falters, his eyes flickering towards her. you watch as he rubs the back of his neck, simply shaking his head before turning back to his cup. it sends a chill through you, that same ugly feeling forming in the pit of your stomach.
sieun doesn’t even acknowledge you. her eyes stay trained on heeseung, her smile darkening, lips curling into something sadistic.
“don’t have anything to say? i heard you were just messing around with this one,” she continues. she can’t even use your name. ‘this one’ stings like a burning rod being pressed to your skin.
but her words stick out the most. messing around. the same words you hear earlier. the same words that had been swirling in your head this whole day, making anxiety pound through you. it felt like every fear you had was being confirmed. every rumor, coming to fruition.
you watch heeseung, your eyes pleading with him to say something. to say she’s wrong, that there is something between you two. that she heard wrong, and things are different this time. anything to make this right.
but instead, he just shakes his head again a small, breathless laugh leaves his lips like he can’t believe this is happening. it makes your stomach twist, frustration bubbling up inside you. the man who always had something to say was now sitting wordlessly in front of you, avoiding eye contact with the both of you.
sieun finally turns to look at you, her smile turning sympathetic, taunting. “you’re cute,” she muses, fake sadness dripping from her voice. “i hope you’re not expecting anything serious.”
it hurts. it feels like a stab wound to the heart, pain rushing through your whole body. your mouth opens and closes, but no words leave you. your gaze flickers back too heeseung, waiting for something, anything.
that something never comes.
sieun simply laughs under her breath and shakes her head, leaving as quickly as she came. leaving you two surrounded by a crushing silence.
your hands curl into fists underneath the table, frustration turning to anger and hurt as you stare at the tabletop. heeseung still hasn’t said anything. he sits there, silent, and you can feel his gaze on you.
it hurts too much. your heart feels like it’s shattering more by the second, and you can’t take it anymore. you’re pushing yourself up from your seat before you can think twice about it, grabbing your bag, and walking.
you don’t look back. you don’t listen to his voice, or the stares from others as you make a beeline for the door. it swings open, the cold outside air whipping around you immediately, only adding to the storm of emotions in your head. you can’t think straight, every thought in your mind jumbled.
you don’t hear him behind you, not until you feel the faintest pull on your wrist do you stop, your breath catching in your throat. you hear his breath, ragged, quick. and finally, after everything, he speaks.
“y/n,” he says softly, cautiously, almost hesitant. his grip tightens just slightly, tugging just slightly more.
“you could’ve said something,” you mumble, the words barely escaping your lips. “anything. and you didn’t.”
there’s a pause. silence. deafening silence. and suddenly, it’s like the rose-tinted glasses were ripped off, leaving you standing with the reality of your actions.
tears brim your eyes as everything hits you all at once. you fell for the playboy. you were stupid enough to just be another one of his girls. your throat tightens, and the words spill out before you can stop them.
“i gave you so much,” you choke out, your voice trembling as you turn around to face him. “i- i actually trusted you. i had hope.”
his expression falters just slightly, his grip loosening, just barely, but you notice it. his mouth opens, but you cut him off before he can speak, all the frustrated feelings you’ve bottled up leaving you.
“you knew how new this was for me,” you continue, your voice rising. you ignore the stares of other students, or the tears that begin to spill from your eyes. “how new all of this is. why would you- why would you take that from me? i don’t know what i’m doing half the time we’re together, but i still try. and you- you just… you don’t try! you give me nothing in return!”
a bitter laugh leaves your lips, full of disbelief. your free hand comes up to rest on your forehead, trying to ground yourself somehow. but it’s no use. your tears keep falling, anger and heartbreak mixing to form the worst rush of emotions you’ve ever had.
“you don’t even kiss me goodnight, heeseung,” you mumble, your voice breaking as more tears spill from your eyes, blurring your vision. “you can’t even do that. the only time we kiss is when you want to fucking make out.”
his eyes widen slightly, and you can see the way guilt floods his features. but you can’t stop. it’s like you’re running on autopilot at this point. you laugh again, the sound borderline hysterical. your body is shaking with a mix of your cries and the emotion running through you, the adrenaline, the heartbreak.
“you can’t even call me by my actual name,” you whisper, the words tasting bitter as they leave your mouth. part of you can’t believe you’re saying these things out loud. “just ‘princess’. always just princess.”
the laugh in your throat dies, simply replaced by silence aside from your sniffles. his face- the guilt on his face- burns into you the more you look at him, your heart shattering at the sight. but whatever this is hurts more. you can’t take it anymore. can’t keep sacrificing your happiness, and having doubts about if lingering touches are true or not.
“you don’t know how much that hurts,” you whisper, the anger you felt finally fading into nothing but heartbreak and hurt. “to give you everything, and only feel like a game. you know, i used to dream about my first kiss. every first i could ever have. and you- you took so many of them from me.”
you finally stop speaking, letting the words sink in for the both of you. it’s quiet, tears slipping down your cheeks, but your face is blank. and heeseung stands there, motionless. confusion and guilt filling his expression, but you can’t wait around for a baseless apology.
so you don’t. you pull your wrist from his grip, and he doesn’t hold you back. he doesn’t say anything. he just watches. and that somehow hurts more than hearing him say anything. you shut your eyes, biting your bottom lip to contain a sob as you turn on your heel, walking away.
through your blurry vision, you don’t look back, keeping your vision forward as you walk away so fast it’s borderline running, your heart shattering more with every shaky step.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
your footsteps were heavy, dragging. the walk back to your dorm had been torturous, dried tears on your face, little sniffles escaping you as you ignored the stares of other students. you could acknowledge that you probably looked like shit.
the door clicked quietly as you shut it behind you, locking you in silence. the familiar space that always provided comfort, seemed to do absolutely nothing for you now. your bag slid off your shoulder, falling to the floor with a quiet thud, but you didn’t even hear it. you felt numb, everything far away.
but here, in the silence, it felt like everything replayed. every word, every emotion, him. your chest tightened, tears brimming in your eyes once again. they started to fall, soft at first, but they soon became uncontrollable. you tried to hold them back, to calm yourself down, but it was no use. your back hit the door, your legs giving out as you slid down, hitting the floor.
you tried desperately to catch your breath, your sobs wracking through you as your hands gripped at your chest, trying to grasp at any sense of control over the situation. nothing was working. everything hurt. you were left feeling stupid and gullible. just another one of lee heeseung’s girls.
and then, you saw it. on your desk chair, his hoodie was draped over the back. the sight sending a new wave of emotions through you. it was like you could feel it from where you sat on the floor, smell the familiar scent of him the hoodie carried. and it was all too much. a sob broke from your chest, loud, audible, everything crashing down at once.
your chest burned. your head hurt. everything felt wrong. you were trying to pull yourself together, but it only got worse. the reality of everything kept tumbling down on you, forcing you to replay the memories of the day over and over.
finally, you heard a door open, your eyes flickering over to the bathroom door only to see wonyoung and yunjin rushing to your side. their expressions filled with concern and confusion. it only made everything hurt more. your sobs were bordering being painful, your body shaking with each and every heaving breath you sucked in.
wonyoung was next to you first, wrapping her arms around you as you continued to cry. you couldn't do anything, your hands shaking in your lap as the tears flowed freely.
“what’d he do?” she asked bluntly, remembering the conversation from earlier. her hands rubbed your head, trying to calm you down as best she could. “what happened?”
your lip trembled as you tried to get words out, but all that left was a strangled sob, your eyes clenching shut. your hands came up to your face, as if you were attempting to block out the pain. but nothing worked. you felt the ache deep inside you, burning, stinging.
“what do you mean ‘what’d he do’?” you heard yunjin ask, her hand rubbing your knee comfortingly. you couldn’t reply, couldn’t even get a single word out. but you heard wonyoung filling her in on the conversation you overheard earlier, only adding to the pain you felt.
you tried to speak, tried to fill them in on what had just happened, but it felt like the words were stuck in your throat, like bile threatening to come up. all that left you was gasps for air. and then, you sucked in a breath, and it all spilled out.
“she… sieun came up to us. said.. he moved on quickly. that i was a game.” you choked out between sobs, shutting your eyes to ground yourself. “he didn’t- he didn’t say anything. nothing. he was just silent.”
“so… fuck. i left.” your chest heaved, squeezing your eyes shut as you spoke the words that felt too real. “he tried to stop me- but i told him everything. everything i’ve been feeling… ands he still didn’t say a single fucking word.”
it felt like saying them out loud meant that it actually happened. that it was real. that you didn’t imagine it, it wasn’t a bad dream.
wonyoung’s arms tightened around you, pulling your head against her chest as you continued to sob, everything feeling too real. you had never felt this before. this all consuming pain that enveloped your whole body. a pain you couldn’t pinpoint, not a physical pain, but an emotional pain. resting somewhere deep inside you.
yunjin’s eyes softened, her hands continuing to rub soft circles on your knee as you shook. “you deserve so much better than that asshole, y/n.”
you swallowed hard, trying to steady your breathing. “i don’t know what i was expecting, but i-“ you choked on your words, closing your eyes before continuing. “i thought it was real.”
wonyoung rubbed your arm with the hand she had wrapped around you, the touch grounding you, comforting you. “don’t say that,” she whispered, her lips brushing against the top of your head, “this isn’t your fault.”
you shook your head, finally lifting it as you wiped your tears, a bitter, disbelieving laugh slipping past your lips. “but it is,” you mumble, your voice shaky, “i let him in. i knew what i was getting into. lee heeseung, campus playboy. and i’m so, so fucking stupid for falling.”
the two girls stared at you, pity etched across their faces as they watched you break down on the floor, the happiness you had been feeling being ripped away from you all too soon, leaving you empty and heartbroken.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
the world kept moving. the days stretched on, long and unbearable. it felt like each one bled into the other. it was strange. how time could feel so, so agonizingly slow. it had only been a few days, but it felt like weeks. but a part of you felt like you were still there. standing, waiting, begging for anything, and getting nothing but silence in return.
you went to class because you had to. because you couldn’t let your grades slip. you sat in your usual seat with your notebook open, but the words blurred together. you busied yourself by doodling on your paper, words entering one ear and leaving the other. you couldn’t focus on anything, when your mind would drift back to him. every time someone leaned back in their chair, or tapped their pen on their notebook, you felt like you could see him.
it made something in your stomach twist violently. you couldn’t tell if it was nausea or longing. but you knew it hurt.
“y/n?”
you blinked, snapping back to reality at the sound of your name. you looked up, only to be met with the eyes of your professor, staring at you expectantly. fuck.
you swallow, gripping your pen just a bit tighter. “uh…” your eyes scanned the board for something, anything, but nothing made sense. you had no idea what was being discussed, or what question had been asked. you felt embarrassment flood you, tugging your bottom lip between your teeth as you sighed. “i’m sorry, i wasn’t paying attention. it’s been a long day.”your professor shook her head, eyes full of disappointment. “you need to pay attention, you’re usually better than this.”
it hurt. her look of disappointment, her words. if only she knew how you felt right now, the thoughts running through your head. but you only nodded, sinking in your seat as she moved on, another student raising their hand enthusiastically to answer the one you head clearly missed.
you forced yourself to sit through the rest of the lecture, trying to pay attention as best as you could. it didn’t work. eventually, you went back to doodling, your mind running wild with thoughts of regret again.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
eventually, yunjin and wonyoung forced you to go out. they thought it might help, and you believed them. maybe you just needed a night out, surrounded by people. that was bound to get your mind off of everything.
so, you did your hair, your makeup, put on an outfit you felt good in. forced yourself to smile, taking a deep breath as you told yourself over and over that this would help. it was a good idea.
but the second you stepped inside the bustling restaurant, laughter and voices echoing around you, you realized just how wrong you were.
he was everywhere.
in the boy at the next table, who wore his hoodie half zipped, his elbows rested on the table as he talked to his friends. in the smell of the cup of coffee a waiter walked by you, your mind drifting back to the café that had become your go-to. you haven’t gone since. in the laugh from someone a few tables down- a different voice, a different person, but it still made your stomach twist.
the worst part was the basketball game playing on the tv mounted above the bar.
you couldn’t help the way your eyes kept drifting to it, scanning the screen over and over again like you would see him. it wasn’t even your schools team, but you couldn’t stop. it just reminded you of him. the way he moved, controlling the court, making everyone root for him. you remembered the way his eyes would look for yours in the crowd after he scored a point. it made your breath hitch.
you weren’t sure how long you stared, hyper focused on the tv, until yunjin’s hand tapped your lightly, your eyes reluctantly pulling away from the tv and back to hers. “you alright? you haven’t said much,” she murmured, beat voice soft, cautious.
you shook your head, forcing a small smile that didn’t reach your eyes. “i’m fine,” you lied, forcing yourself to engage in the conversation that was happening. neither of them look convinced.
and your eyes kept flickering back to the tv.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
you barely ate.
you weren’t even doing it on purpose- didn’t realize how long you would go without eating. you just had no appetite, no desire to fuel your body. you would go the whole day, not even realizing you hadn’t eaten until it was 9pm and yunjin was shoving a cup of ramen in your face with a firm “eat.”
it reminded you of how much he loved ramen. the thought only made you want to eat it less, your stomach churning at the thought.
sleep wasn’t much better. nights were the absolute worst.
at least during the day, you could fake it. pretend you were fine, put on a fake smile and laugh at unfunny jokes people made. busy yourself with small talk, classwork, and meaningless conversations to pull your mind away from the storm inside you, even if only for a bit.
but at night, there was nothing to distract you. you had yunjin, of course, but you were tired of dragging her into your heartbreak fueled rants and crying sessions.
so it was just you lying in bed, staring up at the ceiling, yunjin’s soft breaths the only noise filling the room.
you felt like you were drowning in your emotions. the loss. the regret. the ache in your chest that hadn’t gone away since that day.
it was like you could feel it physically. like a weight pressing down on you, constantly following you around throughout the whole day, but it was the worst at night. you were tired. all you wanted to do was sleep. but you couldn’t. your mind was running at a million miles a minute, everything coming back to you.
when you finally fell asleep, it wasn’t any better. in your dreams, you were back there- standing in front of him with a broken heart and crushed dreams. you always woke up before he could answer.
and you felt stupid. because this is exactly what you had been afraid of. this is why you had been so hesitant. because you knew how it would end- you knew what he was like. and still, you let yourself fall. you didn’t even try to catch yourself, willingly stepping off the edge and enjoying the freefall until you hit the ground. hard.
this was why you had stuck to romance novels for so long. why you had lived vicariously through kat stratford, rose bukater, lara jean covey… the list could go on and on. because, as much as you longed to experience romance, you were scared. scared that real life wouldn’t be like the book and movies. it wouldn’t be like the songs, or the cheesy love-at-first-sight stories old couples would tell you. and it wasn’t. it was painful, and things weren’t always destined to work out.
even your playlists had shifted. whereas a week ago, your most played song was ‘bewitched’ by laufey, a lovesick smile on your face as you laid in bed, singing along to the lyrics, you found yourself repeating ‘right where you left me’ by taylor swift lately. you felt like the song described your situation too perfectly. you couldn’t decide if that was better or worse for coping. eventually you settled on the latter, because you would cry every time it came on, your breath hitching the second you heard the ‘friends break up, friends get married.”
you just wanted everything to go back to normal. you wanted to go back to the day you met heeseung, walking to a different seat instead of sitting down next to him. you wanted to beg the professor to assign you with someone else. you wanted to never step foot in that fateful party that changed everything.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
it’s quiet aside from the video playing from your phone.
you’re curled up in bed, a bowl of pretzels in your lap as you watch a video essay on youtube about fourth wall breaks. you had nothing else to do.
yunjin was spending the night at beomgyu’s. again. wonyoung had to study for an exam coming up. you were left alone, your phone being your only entertainment. sure, you could’ve gone out. but it’s 11pm. you just needed something to keep your mind occupied.
it usually doesn’t work. but tonight, things are different. you’re happier tonight. things are easier. your mind doesn’t keep drifting back to him.
you stretch, rolling your neck as the voice talks about deadpool’s fourth wall breaks. it’s weirdly interesting. you forgot how entertaining youtube essays could be.
the peace is shattered by a knock on your door. the sound is sharp and unexpected, making you jump slightly as you look towards the door. you freeze for a second, before checking the time on your phone. 11:15pm. who would be here this late?
part of you thinks yunjin came back. but she has a key, so why wouldn’t she just unlock the door?
you stand, slowly walking towards the door, yawning slightly as you near it. maybe it’s wonyoung. she could’ve finished studying and wanted to hang out.
but when you finally pull open the door, your breath catches in your throat.
there, standing on the other side, is heeseung.
you feel your stomach churn. he looks different. there’s bags under his eyes, and his hair is messy, like he’s been running his hands through it. there’s a look in his eyes that you can quite place, something you’re grown accustomed to. you can never truly tell what he’s thinking.
you stare at him, but you can’t get any words out. his eyes are staring back into yours, and it feels like time stops. you’re frozen, unable to move. he’s here. standing in front of you.
you finally find your voice, forcing the words to leave your parted lips. “what are you doing here?”
your tone is sharper than intended, and part of you wishes you could take them back. but it’s too late. they’re out there.
heeseung stands still, his body tense. his eyes flicker around, like he’s lost deep in thought. it’s overwhelming. he hasn’t even said anything and you feel like he’s already said too much. you take a deep breath, your hand on the door as you get ready to close it. but heeseung’s fast. he reaches out, his fingers splaying across the door and halting your movements.
“wait. wait,” he pleads, his voice quiet, breathy. “just let me explain, please. just- just let me in. i need to, fuck… i need to say something.”
you hesitate, your eyes searching his. your mind is telling you to shut the door in his face, crawl back in bed, and pretend this conversation never happened. but you don’t. you can’t. something about his expression, the way he’s standing there, eyes pleading with you to listen for once- it stops you.
so you open the door wider, letting him step inside. your heart feels like it’s beating out of your chest, averting your gaze from his as you step to the side.
he steps inside, and it’s like you can feel the shift in the room. you shut the door behind him, turning around to face him, and it’s like something cracks within him. he doesn’t wait a second longer. he just starts talking, words spilling out of him like a dam, like he’s been holding them back for some time.
“i don’t- i don’t do relationships. i don’t know how to do them. i don’t know how to feel this way. wasn’t supposed to feel this way,” he pauses for a moment, running a shaky hand through his hair. “i was fine before you. but now, everything has changed. i’m so fucking confused.”
you stand there, frozen, your stomach twisting at his words. it feels like you’ve been hit by a truck. you don’t know what to do, what to say, how to react. his voice rises slightly, and for the first time, you see his true feelings.
“you- fuck, you ruined me.”
his words are softer than you expect. they lack the usual teasing. they’re not sharp or mocking. they’re just a quiet emission of something he’s been dealing with, something he doesn’t know how to navigate. the pure emotion in his voice cuts through like a knife, hitting somewhere deep inside where all the sadness had piled up inside you.
“you make me want things i don’t even know how to want,” he continues, his voice quiet now, barely above a whisper. “i tried to deny it. i tried to push every feeling i had away. i couldn’t admit it to myself- i was scared.”
he stops talking, sucking in a breath as he stares at you. his eyes search yours, like he’s trying to gauge your emotions. you’re not sure. you don’t even know what you’re feeling right now.
you’re finally able to force a word out, your voice shaky and quiet, like you’re not even sure you want him to hear. “heeseung…”
but he doesn’t respond. he just stands there, his chest rising and falling with every shaky breath he takes. his eyes stay locked on yours, and his mouth parts like he’s going to say something, start speaking again. but instead, he runs a hand through his hair, letting out an incredulous laugh.
it’s not a happy laugh. it’s disbelieving, tinged with frustration and sadness, like he can’t even comprehend the fact that he’s in this position right now, pouring his heart out to someone he hurt.
“fuck,” he mutters, shaking his head, his voice wavering. “i can’t even focus at practice. coach keeps yelling at me, reprimanding me, but-“ he pauses, his eyes landing on yours again. “i can’t stop thinking about you. it’s screwing me up.”
you blink, the weight of his admission sinking in, making your eyes sting and a lump form in your throat. his voice is so raw, his words hitting you like a punch to the gut every time. his hand is shaky as he runs it over his face, shaking his head like he’s fighting something inside himself.
“i don’t know what’s happening to me,” he continues, his voice breathy and laced with emotion. “i can’t stop wanting you. i don’t know what to do with that. i’ve never felt this for someone before.”
he steps forward slightly, and you can feel yourself tense up. there’s an intensity in his eyes, raw and unfiltered. like he’s determined. it’s the most honest you’ve ever seen him be, the first time you’ve been able to tell what he’s feeling by looking at him. it almost knocks the breath out of you.
“i want… i want you to be mine, y/n,” he confesses, his voice full of sincerity. “i want to hold your hand, not just have our fingers brush. i want to kiss you, for no reason at all, but because i can’t help it. i want you to be able to tell people i’m yours. i just, i want to be close to you all the time. i’ve never experienced this before, and it scares the hell out of me. but losing you is worse. i can’t keep pushing my feelings- and you- away when you’re all that i think about.”
you freeze, your breath hitching as his words sink in more and more. he wants you. he wants this. your heart is racing, and your breathing picks up just a bit.
heeseung takes another step closer, his voice barely above a whisper now as if he’s scared to say the words out loud.
“i’m so fucking scared, y/n. this is all new to me. i don’t know how to do this. but i want to make this right. i want to be able to tell you what i’m feeling and what i want, just- please, don’t walk away again.”
the desperation in his voice tears at you, and before you can stop yourself, your vision blurs. the pressure in your chest builds, and a shaky breath leaves you as you feel the dam break. tears spill from your eyes, hot and fast, all the emotions you’ve been bottling up crashing down from the weight of his words.
heeseung’s eyes widen the second he sees your face shift, and in an instant, he’s there. his hands gently cup your face, his thumb softly wiping away every tear that falls. your breath hitches at his touch, a quiet sob leaving your lips.
“hey, hey, look at me,” he says softly, his hands guiding your face up carefully, like he’s afraid you might break. “i didn’t mean to- fuck. don’t cry, baby.”
you can’t stop it. the tears are falling down faster that you can hold them back. heeseung’s thumbs continue to brush against your cheeks, trying to calm down the rush of emotions you’re experiencing. but it’s too much- the words, the emotions, the tenderness. it’s all so new, so different from what you’ve been experiencing these past few days. your chest tightens, a mix of pain and relief swirling inside you, and before you can stop yourself, you press your head against his chest, your fingers gripping tightly onto his hoodie in a desperate attempt to steady yourself.
heeseung tenses up at the contact, his hands still cradling your face, albeit a bit awkward in this new positioning. but he doesn’t pull away. he lets you lean against him, tears spilling from your eyes as both of you breath shakily, like you’re afraid this moment could disappear at any second.
for a few seconds, neither of you moves. the room is thick with tension, and the sounds of your sniffles and his uneven breathing. then slowly, cautiously, his hands finally slip down to rest at your back, gently- his touch so light you almost don’t feel it- pulling you a bit closer to him. his movements are tentative, like he’s not sure if he even has the right to hold you, but he’s too afraid to let you go.
then, slowly, you pull away. but not far. just enough so you can tilt your head up, your eyes locking with his. and for a moment, it feels like the world stops. all his emotions are laid bare- his sincerity, his longing, his fear. and every emotion he’s feeling is mirrored in your gaze. you’re both scared, but you’re no longer hiding those feelings from each other. this is something new for both of you, but you know you’re ready to navigate it together.
before you can think too much about it, or second guess your thought process, you’re leaning in, pressing your lips against his. softly, tentatively at first. it’s different from every other kiss you shared. it’s not the rushed, messy kisses born from confusion and curiosity. no. it’s different. it’s slow, tender, filled with every unspoken word, every quiet confession that’s stayed locked deep inside until now. all the feelings of longing that have finally surfaced.
it’s everything you both wanted but were too scared to ask for. his lips move against yours slowly, and the gentleness of the kiss contrasts everything that came before it. the rush of emotions is still there, but it's calm now, dissipating softly like the rain slowing down after a thunderstorm. it’s just the two of you, finally letting go, spilling your emotions out.
heeseung’s hand moves to the back of your neck, his touch gentle but firm, pulling you closer. you can feel the warmth of his breath against your lips, the soft press of his body against yours. it’s not like before. it’s real. and it’s yours.
when he finally pulls back, there’s a moment of silence. neither of you say anything, but you don’t have to. the air is thick with meaning. there’s no need for words anymore. there’s a silent understanding between the two of you.
a small, hesitant smile tugs at his lips, his hand moving from the back of your neck to cup your face. “i mean it,” he whispers softly, as though he’s trying to reassure both of you. his thumb brushes against your bottom lip, his eyes flickering to them before back up to your eyes. “i’m not going anywhere.”
you nod, a shaky breath leaving your lips as your eyes search his. “i know,” you whisper back, the words a promise exchanged between the two of you.
you lean back in, connecting your lips for the second time that night. the second they meet again, it’s different. the hesitation, the sadness, it all melts away, being replaced by something different. something neither of you can hold back anymore. your fingers dig deeper into the fabric of his hoodie, desperate for something to ground you in this moment. you feel heeseung’s hand move around to the back of your head again, fingers tangling slightly in your hair.
you pull away, just slightly. your lips are still hovering over his, and you whisper, so quiet you’re not even sure if he heard. “heeseung…”
you don’t even know what you’re asking for. you don’t know why you’re saying his name. his breath hitches, but he doesn’t pull away. you can feel the hand on your back tighten slightly, and he exhales softly, voice low. “i know.”
and then he’s kissing you again, more sure this time, more determined. he guides you backward, each step slow, until the back of your knees hit the edge of the bed. he doesn’t rush you. he just holds you there, lips moving against yours, as if he’s waiting for you to stop him.
you don’t.
he slowly eases you down on the bed, his hand on your back supporting you until your back collides with the bed. he follows you, until his body is hovering over yours. he finally pulls back, his weight braced on his forearm. his gaze flickers over your face, as if he’s memorizing every piece of you, trying to read your mind in this exact moment. it’s a look you’ve never seen in his eyes before, and it makes your stomach do flips.
he raises one of his hands, his thumb brushing against your cheek. the softness of his touch sends a shiver down your spine, and you can’t help the way you push your head into his touch. and then, he speaks quietly, almost like a vow. “let me prove it to you.”your breath hitches. your eyes widen slightly, and you feel like you can’t move. you can’t speak. you feel like these past two weeks heeseung has spilt you open, making you feel things no one else has ever done before, and now he’s in front of you, offering to do the same. and for the first time, it feels real. heeseung doesn’t push. he just waits. because for the first time in a long time, this isn’t a game to him. it’s not about winning, or getting the girl. it’s about you.
silence lingers between you, his words sinking into your mind. let me prove it to you.
your heart pounds against your ribs, and part of you is sure he can hear it. his thumb continues to trace slow, soothing circles against your cheek, and the gentleness of it, the want, the need you feel pushes you.
your fingers tighten in the fabric of his hoodie, exhaling a slow deep breath. you can feel the nerves pulsing through your body, but the warmth of his body above you, the emotions in his eyes, the softness of his touch, it’s enough. you tilt your chin up, pulling him down into another kiss.
he reacts immediately, his lips moving against yours in slow, careful kisses. he still doesn’t rush you. his hand slips from your cheek to trail down your arm, fingertips skimming across your skin and leaving goosebumps in their wake.
slowly, the kiss deepens, bit by bit. his tongue swipes across your bottom lip, and just like last time, you let him in. it’s still clumsy, but you let yourself relax under his touch, sighing against his lips. his hand finds your waist, his fingers tightening slightly like he’s trying to hold himself back, and slowly, his lips trail lowers. to the corner of your mouth, then your jaw, then the soft curve of your neck.
your breath hitches. his lips are moving slowly, his kisses soft and fleeting, like he’s testing the waters, lingering, waiting for any sign that this is too much. but you don’t stop him. instead, you let your head roll back slightly against the pillow, granting him more access to your neck.
his kisses grow more intense at that, sucking a piece of your skin and pulling a gasp out of you. his fingers brush under the hem of your shirt, just barely slipping beneath the fabric, his fingertips pressing slightly on your stomach. it sends a shiver down your spine, and instinctively, your body tenses. not out of fear- but because it’s new.
this isn’t like the last time this happened. it’s more full of emotion, more sure, like you’re dedicating yourself to him. like this time, you’re truly crossing a line that can never be undone.
heeseung notices immediately. he stills, his lips hovering over your skin, his warm breath against your neck sending a shiver through you. he stops moving his hand up, simply opting to run slow, lazy circles on your torso with his thumb. he pulls back just enough to look at you, his dark eyes searching your face, as if he’s trying to understand what you want. what you need.you swallow, his gaze making something churn inside you. your chest is rising and falling in quick, timid breaths, nerves rushing through you. the hesitation is there. the fear. but so is the anticipation. the want. the need to experience something new, to finally give in to what your body and heart have been desiring.
so you don’t pull away. you don’t stop him. instead, you push yourself up slightly, your lips hovering against his, and you whisper, “it’s okay.”
something in his gaze darkens, something unreadable passing through his expression. he holds your gaze for a second longer, like he’s giving you one last chance to change your mind. like he’s trying to make sure that you’re sure. but when you don’t- when you reach up and curl your fingers around the back of his neck, pulling his lips fully against yours- his restraint snaps.his kisses are hungry, taking more and more from you. and you love it. his hand under your shirt moves again, fingers splaying across your ribs as he holds you there, his lips moving against yours. for the first time, neither of you are trying to hold back. you arch slightly, pushing your chest into his hand, assuring him he can go further.
and just like that his hand moves up more, cupping your breast over your bra and eliciting a gasp from your lips. your fingers curl in his hair, your chest rising and falling at the new sensation.
heeseung can feel his restraint slipping more and more by the second. the need to be all over you, to make you feel sensations you’ve never felt before. but even through the haze, he’s careful. because this is you. and he knows this is a lot.
his lips place sloppy kisses against your neck, his fingers groping and massaging your breast, ripping gasps and sighs from your lips. it’s like each kiss, each touch is a silent question, waiting, asking for permission without saying the words.
and you give it to him. in the way your back arches, the way your hands tug at the strands of his hair, the gasps that leave your pretty lips as he explores places of you no one ever has before.
he exhales a shaky breath against your skin, and he pauses, resting his head against your shoulder. his hand pulls at the cup of your bra, teasing you- and himself. tempting both of you with what’s about to happen. his body is tense, his breathing heavy, like he’s trying to control himself.
and then he lifts his head, his eyes dark and dazed as he looks at you. god, the way he looks at you. it makes your heart stutter, your stomach flip, it sends a rush of desire through you, your thighs attempting to close, rub together, ease any of the tension you’re feeling. but of course, like last time, you can’t. not with heeseung resting between your legs.
his lips part slightly, like he wants to say something. but instead, he swallows hard, his eyes roaming across your frame. and before you can even process it, before you can allow yourself to feel self-conscious under his gaze- he moves.
his finger slides out from under your shirt, and his hands curl around the hem of your shirt, pulling it over your head with one smooth motion. a gasp leaves your lips, and he tosses it aside, not caring where it lands. and then he’s back on you. his lips are pressing urgent, feverish kisses across your newly exposed skin.
his hands are everywhere, his lips are everywhere. he kisses you like he needs it. it leaves your head spinning, and your body feeling like it’s on fire.
“heeseung-“ his name leaves your lips in a breathless plea, barely more than a whisper, feeling everything all at once. you feel him shudder against you, his lips pausing against your breast.
then, slowly, his hand slips behind your back, his fingers resting on your bra clasp. it sends a shiver through you, your heart stuttering at the feeling. his voice is low, filled with lust, and he raises his head just slightly, his eyes meeting yours. “can i?”
and you nod. you don’t think twice, simply pushing your back off the bed to give him easier access. and slowly, he pulls your bra off of you, leaving your top half completely exposed to him, showing him more than anyone else has ever seen.
“you’re fucking beautiful,” he murmurs, before his lips are back on you, his lips immediately latching onto one of your nipples, his tongue flicking, his lips sucking lightly, sending pleasure coursing through your veins. his hand comes up to massage the other one, pulling a choked moan from your lips. the feeling is so new, so foreign, and you didn’t know it could feel this good. you can’t help the way you squirm under his touch, your head falling back as breathless sighs leave your lips.
your fingers tangle in his hair, tugging hard. and heeseung groans against your skin. a low, deep sound that vibrates through you, making your stomach clench and your thighs twitch, desperate to alleviate the need growing within you.
and slowly, he sits up, his eyes locked on yours. your chest rises and falls rapidly as you watch him, already missing the feeling of his mouth on you. but then. his fingers grab his hoodie, pulling it over his head.
something deep pools inside you at the sight of him. something that has you attempting to clench your thighs. your eyes take over his figure. the toned muscles, the sharp lines, his v-line, the way his sweatpants hang just a little too low on his hips. it makes your mouth water.
but you don’t get to stare long. because his lips are back on you immediately. trailing over your chest before moving down slowly. his hands rub down your sides, mapping out every curve. his lips trail between your breasts, then down the center of your stomach. his kisses are slow and unhurried, making you feel dizzy. you body is so sensitive to every little thing he does. your breath catches as he gets lower, and lower, and lower- until he stops.
his lips rest right above the waistband of your sweatpants, his hot breath against your skin making you shudder. he looks up at you, his eyes dark, filled with lust, and you can feel yourself clench around nothing.
his fingers toy with the waistband of your sweats, simply watching you. as if he’s asking for permission without saying a word. and you give it to him. you push your hips off the bed slightly, slow and needy, your eyes full of desire as you stare at him, a shaky exhale leaving your lips.
“fuck,” heeseung whispers against your skin, a shiver running through you. you feel the way his grip on your waistband tightens, his mouth so tantalizingly close to where you need him.
and then his lips part, a soft breath leaving his lips as he finally speaks, his voice low and dark. “are you sure?”
you nod, a soft whimper leaving your lips as you wriggle your hips, your eyes pleading with him. he only breathes a laugh against your skin, the sound quiet and breathless, his lips pressing a soft kiss against your skin, a shaky breath leaving your lips as the feeling sends a shiver down your spine.
“words, baby,” he whispers out, his voice low and teasing, but there’s an edge to it that makes your stomach twist and your core clench around nothing.
you don’t even know if you can speak. everything is so overwhelming in the best way possible, your eyes flickering all over his face as he just watches you with a smirk. you push your hips up again, your breath coming out desperate and breathy as you whisper. “heeseung, please.”
that’s all it takes for him. he smiles, pressing another kiss to your skin before his fingers dip under your waistband, tugging your sweats and underwear down in one go. his fingers tug slowly, revealing more and more by the second. you feel more exposed, suddenly aware of how you’re now completely naked in front of heeseung. but you trust him.
his eyes stay on yours the entire time, until he finally gets your pants off your legs completely, tossing them somewhere in the room. only then, does his gaze drop down, and you can see the way his eyes darken as he zeroes in on you.
you go to close your legs, suddenly self aware, but he grips your thighs before you get the chance, a soft gasp leaving your lips as he looks back up at you. “keep these open for me, hm?”
his thumbs rub slow, absentminded circles against your skin as he just watches you. like he’s committing the sight of you laid out bare beneath him to his memory. but it’s torturous for you.a whimper catches in your throat as your hands grip at the sheets, your hips attempting to move. “heeseung-“
he pushes your hips down, keeping you in place as he shakes his head. “you’re so needy, baby.” slowly, his fingers trail up your inner thighs, so close to where you need him, but never quite touching you, never giving you what you so desperately need. you whine, shifting your hips up, trying to feel something, but he just pushes your thighs down again. “patience,” he murmurs, the corner of his lips quirking up. “let me take my time with you.”
and slowly, so slowly, he runs a finger along your slick folds, the sensation making a gasp slip from your lips. your thighs twitch, and he moves his finger up, pressing down on your clit and pulling a soft moan from you.
“oh- heeseung,” you gasp out, your eyes closing and opening again as your chest rises and falls rapidly, growing accustomed to the feeling of someone else controlling your pleasure. he hums, before moving his finger back down, finally inserting a finger inside you. a moan slips past your lips, your walls fluttering around him.
“shit, baby,” he exhales, a breathy laugh leaving him as he looks up at your face before back down at your cunt. “you’re so tight.”
he curls his finger, stretching you open as you gasp and whine, your hands tightening in the sheets as he pushes another finger inside your dripping cunt. you let out a shaky breath, your head rolling back against the pillow.
and then his mouth is on you. a choked moan rips from your throat as his mouth sucks on your clit, the new feeling making your eyes shoot open as your hands fly from the sheets to his hair.
“heeseung- fuck-“ you gasp out, your hips attempting to move, but he uses his free hand to press down on your stomach, forcing you to stay still. to take it. it’s too much too fast. you can feel the knot in your stomach tightening, every suck and press pushing you closer to the edge.
your fingers tighten in his hair, and heeseung groans against you, sending a delicious vibration through you. your thighs shake as you gasp, teetering right on the edge.
“heeseung,” you moan out, your voice shaky and strained, “gonna- i-“
you can barely get the words out before his lips curve into a smirk against your skin. he hums, the feeling making you squirm before he mutters, “already?”
and then his mouth is back on you. his fingers are moving faster, his mouth sucking harder, his tongue working over your clit in slow circles. it's too much. your body tenses up and finally, the coil snaps.
a broken moan spills from your throat as your back arches off the bed, your body trembling as you come undone. you can feel his arm press down harder, holding your bottom half still as you gasp, unable to do anything but take it.
he doesn’t stop. at least, not immediately. he works you through it, his tongue lapping up every drop of your release, his fingers still moving and drawing out your pleasure. only when it’s too much, a whine slipping past your lips as your hands tug at his hair, does he stop.
he pulls back, the bottom half of his face glistening with your slick, his eyes dark as he meets yours- and somehow, you want more all over again.
“still with me, princess?” his voice is teasing, and he pushes himself up until he’s hovering over you. “or did i fuck you dumb already?”
you can barely answer, the aftershocks of your orgasm still coursing through you. his lips hover above yours, a small smile on his lips before he presses them against yours. you can taste yourself against his lips, slightly bitter.
your hips attempt to close, but he’s already settled himself between your legs, and you can feel him smirk against your lips as he grinds his hips just enough for you to feel him. it makes you gasp against his lips, desire coursing through you again. you can feel how hard he is, the outline of his cock pressing against your inner thigh through his sweats.
“you want this just as much as i do, don’t you?” he mumbles against your lips, his voice a low rasp. you can only nod, your breath catching in your throat as he rolls his hips again.
“think you can take me, baby?” he smirks, one of his hands sliding down your body to pull your legs open further, pressing his clothed cock right against your core and grinding down, forcing a quiet moan from you.
“please,” you whine out, your eyes fluttering shut as your mouth falls open in a silent gasp.
“yeah? want me inside you? stretching you out, filling you up for the first time?” he whispers against your lips, pressing his hips harder against yours as he lets out a strained breath.
your breath hitches at the lewd words leaving his lips, but your cunt clenches around nothing. you finally crack, words spilling from your lips. “yes- please… want you,” you murmur, your eyes pleading with him, full of desire.
his smirk deepens, and he presses a final kiss to your lips before pushing himself up. his fingers dig into the waistband of his sweats, and in one fluid motion, he pulls them down along with his boxers. his cock slaps against his stomach, his tip angry and leaking, and your eyes widen at the sight.
how the fuck was that going to fit inside you?
he stroked himself a few times, huffing out a laugh at your surprised expression. “see something you like?” he asks, a teasing tone to his voice.
you roll your eyes with a small smile, but you can’t hide the desire in your expression. the way your cunt clenches around nothing as your eyes flicker back down to where his cock strands.
he leans down, hovering over you as he pulls one of your legs open, exposing you to himself further. his cock brushes against your inner thigh, his tip leaking against your skin and causing you to shudder.
“is it… gonna hurt?” you ask quietly, almost feeling stupid for asking such a question. but he doesn’t judge you. his expression shifts from one of amusement to something more soft, his hand on your thigh rubbing gentle circles as he smiles at you.
“it might sting a little bit,” he whispers back, leaning down to press a soft kiss to your lips. “but just relax for me, alright? i’ll take care of you.”
you nod, your voice breathless as you reply. “okay.”
your pulse races as his cock brushes against your folds, the reality of everything setting in. you’re about to lose your virginity. it makes a mix of anxiety and adrenaline rush through you, a mewl leaving you at the feeling.
“that’s my girl,” he whispers, his hand leaving your thigh to grab his cock, rubbing himself up and down your folds, coating himself in your juices and drawing quiet moans from your lips, your hips pushing up just slightly, chasing the sensation.
finally, he positions himself at your entrance, his hips pushing forward as he enters you. the stretch makes your breath catch in your throat. it stings. it’s overwhelming. it’s such a new feeling, sending a shiver down your spine as your cunt clenches around him, drawing a groan from his lips.
“fuck,” you breathe out, your voice shaky and quiet, fading into a moan as your eyes clench shut. he pauses for a moment, letting you adjust to the stretch as he presses a kiss to the corner of your lips.
“you’re doing so good for me, baby,” he murmurs, his hand sliding to your cunt, rubbing soft circles on your clit and ripping a gasp from you. “just breathe for me.”
it distracts you from the burning stretch, dulling the pain the slightest bit as your cunt clenches around him, his hips starting to move again. a soft, shaky breath leaves your lips, your hands coming up to grip his shoulders as he fills you completely.
“feel good, princess?” he murmurs against your lips, his voice soft as his thumb continues to rub circles against your clit, a little faster now. you nod, words caught in your throat as the pleasure begins to mix with the pain, giving way to a sensation- a fullness- you’ve never felt before.
finally, he bottoms out. you can fill every ridge and vein, your cunt pulsing around him as it struggles to accommodate the stretch. his thumb never stops circling your clit, easing you into full pleasure. he doesn’t move, simply resting inside you and letting you adjust to the new feeling.
and slowly, the pain fades. replaced by pleasure, a want- a need- for more. your hips move slightly, a gasped moan slipping past your lips at the pleasure that rushes through you. “please,” you whimper, your fingers digging into his shoulders as your eyes flutter open, meeting his. “move…”
slowly, carefully, he pulls out slightly, dragging out of you before pushing back in, pulling a soft moan from your lips. every roll of his hips presses him further inside you, making your mind hazy as you adjust to the fullness.
“hee,” you whimper out, your head rolling back as the feeling grows more pleasurable, sending your head spiraling with every thrust. his thumb still circles your clit, drinking in every reaction you give him.
“yeah, baby?” he murmurs, pressing a soft kiss to your lips, making you focus on him for a second. “still doing good?”
you nod, your breath getting caught in your throat as he hits a particularly deep spot. it feels good. it feels so good. but you want more. you need more. “yeah,” you whisper. “feels good, but-“
you hesitate, but you don’t need to finish. you catch the way heeseung’s eyes darken immediately, his movements stilling for just a second, like he’s processing your words, before he’s moving again.
“you want more, princess?” his voice is lower now, darker. hungrier. it makes you clench around him, a hiss leaving his lips, the corner of his lips quirking up.
you nod frantically, your fingers gripping his shoulders as his hand leaves your clit to find purchase on your waist. “please,” you gasp out. “i need-“
you don’t get to finish. a moan spills from your throat as he pulls out, only to slam back in. his careful, slow, pace is gone in an instant, replaced by something deeper. something intoxicating. your fingers claw at his shoulders, his arms, his back, anything you can to ground yourself as his thrusts speed up.
“fuck,” he grits out, his head dropping to your shoulder as his hips snap forward again, the sound of skin slapping skin filling the room. “knew you’d take me so well, baby.”
it’s too much. the pleasure builds, your moans getting louder. you can’t even control the noises leaving your mouth, too lost in the pleasure. you don’t even register how loud you’re getting until his hand clamps over your mouth.
your eyes fly open, seeing him hovering over you now, his gaze half-lidded and dark. his lips are parted, uneven breaths leaving him as his hips continue to ram into you.“shh, princess,” he rasps, his thumb brushing against your cheek as he hits a particularly deep spot, making you moan out against his mouth. “only i get to hear those pretty sounds, yeah?”
a muffled whimper leaves your mouth, your walls fluttering around him as you process his words. his pace never slows, pushing your limits, testing just how much you can really take. and you love it.
“bet you’d sound so pretty if you could really let go,” he murmurs, his dark eyes staring into yours. his free hand trails down, resting on your stomach. your eyebrows furrow slightly, just before he presses down. your eyes roll back, a loud moan escaping your mouth and being concealed by his palm. it makes you feel him, all of him. stretching you. filling you completely.
“you feel that, baby?” his fingers press harder, drawing another strangled moan from your lips as your eyes clench shut. “so fucking deep inside you. you take me so well, fuck-“
your body responds before you know what you’re doing. your hips roll up to meet his, desperate for more of the pleasure you’re experiencing. and heeseung loses it.
“can you be quiet for me, princess?” he whispers. and you nod, hazy, dazed. he smirks, pressing harder on your stomach and pulling a broken moan from your lips as your body jolts beneath him.
he slowly removes his hand from your mouth, sliding it down your body to grab your thigh, spreading you wider for him. a choked whimper leaves your lips, your mouth clenched shut as you try your hardest to hold your sounds in. but it feels too good. tears gather in your lashes, your body arching into his.
his cock twitches inside you, a dark grin on his face as he tilts his head at you. “what’s wrong, baby?” his voice is mocking, teasing, cruel. and it only drives you crazier. a tear slips down your cheek, your cunt clenching around him. you don’t trust your voice- hell, you don’t even know if you can speak right now.“too much?” he asks, but he doesn’t stop. if anything, he pushes deeper. you shake your head frantically, a broken sob leaving your lips as more tears spill down your cheeks. he sits back on his heels, the new angle pushing him deeper as a choked moan slips past your lips, your own hand coming up to cover your mouth.
he only chuckles, his voice dripping with amusement- and something darker- as he watches you unravel beneath him. “feels good, doesn’t it?”
it’s too much. it’s all too much. the coil in your stomach is winding tight, threatening to pull you over the edge at any second. and heeseung notices. he notices how your thighs began to shake, your moans turning into breathy, desperate whimpers, the way you clench around him.
“close?” is all he asks, his eyes dark and lidded as he watches you. your hand slides from the sheet to his arm, desperate to find something to ground yourself as you teeter on the edge.
“hee-“ you manage to gasp out, your voice breaking off into a moan as tears slide down your cheeks. he groans at the way you clench around him, his hand finding your clit again, rubbing tight, merciless circles, forcing you closer to the edge. and it’s too much. it builds so fast it makes your head spin. hell, you don’t even feel like you’re real at this point.“come for me, princess,” he groans out, thrusting particularly deep inside you. “let go.”your orgasm rips through you, your back arching off the bed as you cry out, a loud, broken moan barely muffled by your hand. your vision goes white, your body locking up as the strongest orgasm you’ve ever had takes over your body. but he doesn’t stop. his pace doesn’t falter for a second, fucking you through your high, testing your limits as the pleasure shifts into something more intense. your body can barely keep up. you’re sobbing, gasping, your body stuck between pushing him away and pulling him closer.
“just a bit longer, baby,” he groans, his hand moving from your clit to your waist, holding you still as his thrusts turn erratic. your eyes roll back, your poor body unable to keep up with the pleasure you’re feeling.
and then, a low guttural moan escapes heeseung’s lips, his hips pressing as hard as they can against yours as he finally spills inside you. the sensation of being filled has you gasping, clenching around him as his body trembles with his orgasm.
slowly, he lowers himself down, pressing soft kisses to your lips to ease you back to reality, your dazed eyes meeting his as ragged breaths escape your lips. you’re wrecked.
“you did so good for me, princess,” he murmurs, his voice breathless as his lips trail soft kisses down your jaw, his warm hands soothing over your trembling thighs, slowly pulling you back down to earth.
you can’t even find the words to speak. you only nod, your hand slowly lifting to tangle in his hair, just resting there. he chuckles, leaning up to look at you. a soft smile forms on his lips, his thumbs brushing the tears off of your cheeks. “you okay?”
you nod again, your voice wrecked, barely more than a whisper. “yeah.”
he doesn’t say anything, simply watching you. his gaze is so soft, his touch featherlight against your skin. his hips pull back slowly, making you gasp at the sensitivity it sends through you.
and then he’s pulling out, his hands moving down to your hips as he sits back on his heels. your hips shift, adjusting to the empty feeling, a shiver running through you when you feel his cum dripping out of you.
heeseung pauses, his eyes fixed on the sight, hands gripping your hips tighter as he breathes out, “fuck…”
your face heats up, self-consciousness taking over when it finally sets in that you’re completely exposed in front of him. your legs attempt to close, a whine leaving your lips- but heeseung’s faster. his hands grip your thighs, keeping you held open as a smile forms on his lips.
“don’t get all shy on me now, baby,” his voice is quiet, his eyes flickering up to yours as you avert your gaze. your hips shift, another soft, embarrassed noise leaving you, but he simply laughs under his breath. “you were just moaning for me a few minutes ago.”
“heeseung,” you mumble, dragging out his name as you continue to move beneath him, trying to pull your thighs out of his grasp. your hands attempt to bat his away halfheartedly, but you’re too exhausted to actually push him, watching the way he pulls his bottom lip in between his teeth with a smile while watching your struggle.
he leans down, pressing a soft kiss to your stomach that has your breath catching, your hands halting their movements. “you were so good for me. look at you,” he mumbles, his eyes dragging over your body slowly, “all fucked out and pretty.”
you let out a noise of protest, slapping at his shoulder before your hands come up to cover your face, groaning against your hands.
“okay,” he laughs, finally letting go of your legs. “i’ll stop. don’t want you crying again.”
you huff, turning your head to hide your face in the pillow, but a smile tugs at your lips. “you’re the worst.”
he only laughs again, slipping off the bed, and you hear his footsteps moving away from the bed. “mhm. didn’t hear you complaining earlier.”
you let out a dramatic groan, completely turning your body away from him, choosing not to answer this time.
when he finally returns, he sits down on the bed, one hand gently pulling your leg up, exposing you to him again.
“heeseung,” you whine, lifting your head to look at him. his eyes flicker up to yours, before looking down again, the wet rag making contact with your legs and making you gasp, everything still so sensitive.
“relax,” he whispers, his touch gentle, moving ever so carefully over the parts that make you flinch, your legs shifting with every pass.
you nod into the pillow, finally letting your body relax again as your eyes flutter shut, exhaustion slowly taking over your body.
“there we go,” he murmurs, tossing the rag aside and settling in bed besides you, pulling the covers over the both of you. his arm wraps around your waist, pulling you closer to him, your body instantly relaxing into his.
his fingers rake through your hair, slow and comforting, making you let out a soft sigh, curling further into him.
“you good?” he whispers again, like he always have to make sure you’re alright.
“yeah,” you you yawn, shifting and closing your eyes. “tired.”
you hear a soft, breathy laugh leaving his lips, before he presses a kiss to the top of your head, his fingers resuming their movements in your hair.
“go to sleep, y/n.”
you nod, letting the beating of heeseung’s heart in your ear guide you into a slumber as sleep lulls you away.
───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───
“one iced coffee, please,” you smile, holding out a ten-dollar bill to the cashier in front of you.
she gives you a look, but smiles back, taking the cash anyway. “no hot chocolate today?”
you wave your hand dismissively, biting back a giddy smile. “oh, it’s not for me.”
she raises an eyebrow but doesn’t push, simply nodding and punching in your order. “alright, then. we’ll have that out soon.”
you rock back and forth on your feet, wonyoung and yunjin waiting at a table behind you.
once your order is out, you’re walking back to the girls with a bit more pep in your step, holding the cup up to signal you’re ready to leave.
you begin to walk out the door, a giddy smile on your lips as you look down at the coffee, before back up- completely oblivious to the look wonyoung and yunjin share.
“so, why’d you get an iced coffee?” yunjin asks, tilting her head as she looks at the drink in your hand.
“oh, just for someone,” you smile, shrugging lightly as you continue to walk.
“you look too happy,” wonyoung teases you, poking your cheek as she watches the smile on your face grow larger, “what happened?”
“nothing, guys!” you laugh, pushing wonyoung’s hand away.
you continue to walk, making a beeline for the gym. you don’t miss the confused looks they send you as you speed up slightly.
“okay, seriously, where are we going?” wonyoung asks, speeding up slightly as she picks up on the direction you’re headed.
“the gym? the basketball team is in there right now,” yunjin adds, scrunching her eyebrows. “y/n. y/n? that means heeseung is in there! hello?”
you don’t even hesitate when you open the gym doors, the two girls trailing behind you, clearly confused.
“y/n. why are we in here?” wonyoung hisses, grabbing your arm as the sound of squeaking shoes and a basketball hitting the floor fills the air.
and then, all the noises slow. the guys spare a glance at you, before doing a double take once they recognize you. because heeseung has talked about you. and they’ve seen you with him.
but the moment heeseung sees you, his focused expression shifts. his sharp gaze softens, a smile forming on his face as his feet slow to a stop. he starts moving, jogging over slowly. his shirt is slightly damp, his breathing slightly heavy.
“hi, pretty girl,” he smiles, his gaze warmer.
wonyoung’s grip on your arm loosens, and you can see her jaw drop from the corner of your eye.
“hi,” you reply, holding out the coffee, “i brought you coffee.”
he grins, taking the cup and tilting his head. “really? i thought you hated iced coffee.”
you bite back a laugh, shaking your head lightly before shrugging. “you don’t.”
you watch as his smile shifts into something else. something in his eyes that you can’t process, but he’s looking at you like you placed the stars in the sky. it makes your stomach flip, a blush forming on your cheeks.
his hand slips around your waist, tugging you closer as he presses a soft, lingering kiss to your lips.
your hand instinctively grabs onto his jersey, tugging him slightly closer, your lips forming into a smile against his.
“hello?” you hear yunjin ask, a few guys behind you laughing.
“what?” you ask, pulling back from heeseung’s lips, tilting your head with a small smile. “am i not allowed to come say hi to my boyfriend?”
silence.
until wonyoung squeals, practically yanking yunjin towards her. “i called it!”
even heeseung himself seems a bit thrown off guard, his eyes widening a bit before he pulls himself together, a smug grin pulling at the corner of his lips.
“oh?” he murmurs, leaning in just enough for you to hear. “say that again?”
“damn, y/n,” jake laughs, stepping up besides the two of you and clapping heeseung on the back. “you managed to lock the playboy down.”
“so,” jake continues, nodding at the drink in your hand with a shit-eating grin, “care to bring me one of those next time?”
you don’t even get to open your mouth before heeseung is speaking. “no.”
jake blinks. “i was talking to-“
“still no.”
he throws his hands up, turning on his heel and walking away, grumbling out, “forget i asked.”
you roll your eyes, suppressing a smile as you look back at heeseung, who simply shrugs at you. he’s insufferable.
and he’s yours.
AFTER FIGHTING FOR THREE DAYS... I GOT IT TO WORK. sorry about the weird formatting at some points, it's the only way i was able to fit this whole fic into one post ^^! also,, did not realize how much i wrote "and then" until i was editing this god damn girl stop sing those words for one second... hope you guys enjoyed !!!!
Synopsis: He was dared to make her fall. she didn’t even look his way. he still tried. then he fell first—and harder than anyone expected.
WC: 3.4k OR 3,498 words
The entire university knew three things about Lee Heeseung.
First—he was rich.
Second—he was gorgeous.
And third—he never stayed with the same girl for longer than two weeks.
People called him charming. Dangerous. Addictive.
Professors called him “wasted potential.”
His parents called him “difficult.”
His friends?
They called him entertainment.
Because whenever Heeseung walked into a room, something always happened.
───
Friday night.
Music exploded through the walls of the largest fraternity house near campus. Colored lights flashed across drunk students dancing like tomorrow didn’t exist.
Heeseung sat lazily on the kitchen counter with a red cup in one hand, expensive rings shining beneath the neon lights. His dark hair fell perfectly over his forehead despite the chaos around him.
Girls surrounded him.
One touching his arm.
Another laughing too hard at his jokes.
Another asking if he was coming to her apartment after the party.
Heeseung smiled at all of them without really seeing any of them.
Across the room, his best friend Jay snorted.
“You’re actually insane.”
“What did I do now?” Heeseung asked.
“You made that girl cry.”
“I literally told her not to catch feelings.”
Jake laughed from the couch. “That somehow makes it worse.”
Heeseung only shrugged.
Relationships bored him.
People bored him.
Everyone wanted something from him—money, attention, popularity, validation.
Nothing ever felt real.
Then Sunghoon walked into the kitchen with a grin.
“Ohhh,” he said dramatically. “There she is.”
The boys turned toward the front door.
And for the first time that night—
Heeseung looked interested.
A girl walked inside wearing loose black jeans, headphones around her neck, and an oversized gray hoodie like she accidentally wandered into the wrong building.
“Not mean,” another student interrupted. “She’s only rude if you’re annoying.”
“Which means all of you.”
Everyone laughed.
Heeseung watched her from across the room.
She sat beside another girl on the couch, calmly sipping soda while chaos happened around her.
Completely unaffected.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Then Jay made the mistake.
“Bet you can’t pull her.”
Silence.
Heeseung slowly looked at him.
Jay grinned wider. “One month. Make her fall for you.”
Jake immediately groaned. “Bro—”
“What?” Jay laughed. “Heeseung gets every girl. Let’s see if the king survives rejection.”
Heeseung leaned back against the counter.
“What do I get?”
Sunghoon smirked. “Your ego survives.”
“And if I win?”
Jay sighed dramatically. “Fine. I’ll do your statistics project.”
Heeseung’s eyes slid back toward Y/N.
She was laughing softly at something her friend said.
Real laughter.
Not fake party laughter.
Not flirting.
Just… genuine.
Something in his chest pulled strangely.
Still, he smiled lazily.
“Easy.”
───
Monday morning.
Economics lecture hall.
Professor Kang droned on while half the students fought sleep.
Y/N sat near the window with earbuds hidden beneath her hair, sketching tiny doodles in the corner of her notebook.
Then someone slid into the seat beside her.
The entire row looked shocked.
Heeseung.
Of course.
He smelled expensive. Clean cologne and arrogance.
“You’re in my seat,” Y/N said without looking up.
“I don’t think your name is on it.”
“It is spiritually.”
A few students nearby snorted.
Heeseung grinned.
“You always this friendly?”
“You always this jobless?”
That actually caught him off guard.
Most girls giggled around him.
Most tried too hard.
But her voice held genuine annoyance.
Like he was simply inconveniencing her.
Professor Kang looked up. “Mr. Lee. Nice of you to attend for once.”
The class laughed.
Heeseung smiled shamelessly. “I’m trying to become a better student.”
Y/N muttered, “Tragic.”
He heard it.
And for some reason—
He laughed.
Actually laughed.
───
Over the next two weeks, he kept showing up.
Library.
Cafeteria.
Hallways.
Campus café.
At first Y/N assumed it was coincidence.
Then she realized:
No.
He was absolutely following her.
“You’re weird,” she told him one afternoon.
Heeseung walked beside her casually. “You noticed me?”
“I noticed a mosquito too. Doesn’t mean I like it.”
“Ouch.”
But he kept smiling.
Because every conversation with her felt alive.
She didn’t worship him.
Didn’t care about his car.
Didn’t care that girls constantly stared at him.
Once, he picked her up after class in his black luxury car.
Students immediately began whispering.
Y/N climbed in, looked around once, then deadpanned—
“Cool. It drives just like a normal car.”
Heeseung stared at her.
Then burst out laughing.
“Do you enjoy ruining my ego?”
“Yes.”
───
She learned things about him slowly.
That he skipped class constantly.
That he partied almost every night.
That he got into fights when drunk.
That professors expected him to fail despite how intelligent he actually was.
And Heeseung learned things too.
That Y/N worked part-time at a bookstore.
That she sent money home to her mother sometimes.
That she hated fake people more than anything.
That she secretly adored old music and rainy weather.
That she always pretended not to care even when she cared deeply.
One evening, he found her sitting alone outside campus while rain poured around them.
“You’ll get sick,” he said.
She shrugged. “Maybe.”
He stood there awkwardly before sitting beside her under the tiny bus stop roof.
“You don’t talk much at parties,” he noticed.
“I don’t like loud people.”
“You’re talking to one.”
“You’re tolerable sometimes.”
“Sometimes?”
“Don’t get excited.”
He smiled quietly.
Then he noticed her staring at the rain.
Peaceful.
Beautiful.
Not in the glamorous way girls at his parties looked.
Something softer.
Something dangerous.
Because for the first time in years—
Heeseung wanted to stay.
Not chase.
Not win.
Just stay.
───
“Bro, you’re down BAD.”
Jay nearly dropped his fork in the cafeteria.
Heeseung glared. “Shut up.”
“You skipped a party last night.”
Jake looked horrified. “HE skipped a PARTY?”
Sunghoon gasped dramatically. “Call the police.”
“I had class.”
“You’ve never cared before.”
Heeseung ignored them.
But they weren’t wrong.
Things were changing.
He started attending lectures.
Stopped flirting with random girls.
Even his professors noticed.
Professor Kang adjusted his glasses one afternoon.
“Mr. Lee… your assignment was actually excellent.”
The class looked stunned.
Heeseung blinked. “Uh. Thanks?”
Y/N smirked beside him.
“Good job, rich boy.”
“Was that praise?”
“Don’t push it.”
───
Rumors spread fast around campus.
“Heeseung only hangs out with Y/N now.”
“He rejected Mina at the party.”
“He left early last weekend.”
“Did he seriously stop drinking?”
“Apparently Y/N hates smokers too.”
“No way she changed HIM.”
But she did.
Without trying.
Without demanding anything.
He just… wanted to become someone better around her.
Someone real.
───
Then came the problem.
The bet.
At first it had been meaningless.
Funny.
Stupid.
But now every time Heeseung looked at her—
Guilt twisted inside him.
Especially because Y/N trusted him now.
One night, she fell asleep in his apartment while studying.
Curled up on his couch in one of his hoodies.
Heeseung sat nearby staring at her quietly.
His chest hurt.
Because he loved her.
Actually loved her.
And he had built everything on a lie.
───
“You need to tell her,” Jake said seriously.
Heeseung rubbed his face. “I know.”
“She’ll hate me.”
“Probably.”
“Thanks.”
Jay sighed. “Look, man… if she hears it from someone else, it’ll be worse.”
Heeseung knew that too.
And fate apparently hated him because the truth came out the very next day.
───
Y/N walked through campus holding iced coffee when she heard laughter near the basketball court.
“…bro really changed because of a BET—”
She froze.
Her stomach dropped.
Then another voice.
“Heeseung fell first honestly.”
“Still insane he approached her for a dare.”
Everything inside her went cold.
She slowly turned.
The boys noticed her too late.
Silence crashed down.
Jay cursed under his breath.
Y/N’s face became expressionless.
Dangerously expressionless.
Then she walked away.
Fast.
───
Heeseung found her near the music building that evening.
“Y/N—”
“Don’t.”
Her voice was quiet.
That hurt worse than yelling.
He stepped closer carefully. “Please let me explain.”
“You made me a joke?”
“No.”
“A game?”
“It started like that but—”
She laughed once.
A broken laugh.
“Wow.”
His chest tightened painfully.
“Y/N, I swear to you, I love you.”
“You should’ve told me earlier.”
“I was scared.”
“And now I look stupid.”
“You’re not stupid.”
“But you are.”
That hit hard because she was right.
Tears filled her eyes despite how hard she fought them.
“I trusted you.”
Heeseung looked shattered.
“I know.”
“You know what the funny part is?” she whispered. “I actually believed you were different.”
He reached for her hand instinctively.
She stepped back immediately.
“No.”
The look on her face nearly destroyed him.
Not anger.
Disappointment.
“I don’t care that you’re rich,” she said shakily. “I don’t care about your parties or your stupid reputation. I cared about YOU.”
“I care about you too.”
“Then why humiliate me?”
He had no answer.
Because there wasn’t one good enough.
So she left.
And for the first time in his life—
Heeseung felt truly alone.
───
The next weeks were miserable.
He stopped partying completely.
Ignored calls.
Skipped gatherings.
Even his parents noticed.
His mother looked stunned during dinner.
“You’re home.”
His father glanced up from his phone. “And sober.”
Heeseung only muttered, “Can we not?”
For once, there was no arrogance in him.
Just exhaustion.
At university he still saw Y/N sometimes.
But she avoided him completely.
And honestly?
He deserved it.
───
One afternoon Professor Kang stopped Heeseung after class.
“You know,” the older man said calmly, “people can tell when someone changes for real.”
Heeseung looked tired. “Doesn’t matter.”
“It does if you continue changing after losing the person.”
That stayed with him.
Because maybe becoming better shouldn’t depend on whether she forgave him.
Maybe she deserved proof.
Real proof.
Not words.
───
Months passed.
And slowly everyone noticed something shocking:
Heeseung Lee had changed.
Actually changed.
He attended classes consistently.
Helped classmates.
Stopped leading girls on.
Even started volunteering at campus events.
Students whispered constantly.
“What happened to him?”
“Y/N happened.”
───
Winter arrived quietly.
Y/N was leaving the library one evening when she found Heeseung sitting on the stairs outside.
Snow dusted his dark coat.
He stood immediately when he saw her.
“I’ll leave if you want.”
She crossed her arms silently.
He looked nervous.
Actually nervous.
“I just… needed to say this once.”
She didn’t stop him.
So he continued.
“You were right about me.”
His voice was rough.
“I was selfish. Immature. I treated people like games because I never cared enough to stay.” He swallowed hard. “But you made me want to become someone worth staying for.”
“The way I waited for your texts. The way I started hating parties because they weren’t fun without you. The way I memorized your coffee order. The way I—”
His voice cracked slightly.
“—the way I loved you.”
Silence.
Then Y/N finally spoke.
“You hurt me a lot.”
Tears filled his eyes instantly.
“I know.”
“And I still don’t fully trust you.”
“That’s okay.”
“But…”
Hope flickered weakly across his face.
She sighed softly.
“I can see you changed.”
Heeseung stared at her like he couldn’t breathe.
“And honestly?” she admitted quietly. “That makes this harder.”
A tiny smile appeared on his face for the first time in months.
“You still care?”
“Unfortunately.”
He laughed weakly through tears.
And for the first time—
Y/N smiled back.
Small.
Shy.
Real.
Maybe not a perfect ending.
Not yet.
But definitely the beginning of something honest.
The strange thing about forgiveness was that it never happened all at once.
It happened slowly.
In stolen conversations after class.
In quiet walks back to the dorms.
In accidental smiles.
In Heeseung waiting outside her lectures just to carry her bag even though she complained the entire time.
“I can carry it myself.”
“I know.”
“Then why are you holding it?”
“Because I like feeling useful.”
“You’re annoying.”
“But you’re smiling.”
Y/N immediately wiped the smile off her face.
Heeseung grinned proudly anyway.
───
Everyone at university was still trying to process the fact that Heeseung had become—
pathetic.
Pathetic for one girl.
Jay almost cried laughing one afternoon when he walked into the student café.
Heeseung was sitting beside Y/N with his chin resting on her shoulder while she studied.
Literally clinging to her.
“Bro,” Jay said in horror. “You used to break hearts.”
“I’m retired.”
Y/N didn’t even look up from her notes. “Unfortunately.”
Heeseung gasped softly. “Baby, that’s mean.”
Jay froze.
Jake froze.
Even Sunghoon nearly choked on his drink.
“BABY?” Jake repeated.
Y/N finally looked up slowly. “Don’t make it weird.”
“You made HIM soft,” Sunghoon accused.
“I didn’t do anything.”
Meanwhile Heeseung looked completely unashamed.
Actually worse—
he looked happy.
Disgustingly happy.
───
He flirted constantly now.
Absolutely constantly.
And unlike before, it wasn’t smooth anymore.
It was clingy.
Whiny.
Cute.
“You look pretty today.”
“I look the same.”
“Still pretty.”
“You need glasses.”
“I need your attention.”
“You’re embarrassing.”
“But you like me.”
Silence.
Then Y/N muttered quietly—
“Maybe a little.”
Heeseung almost fell out of his chair.
───
He became ridiculously affectionate too.
Always touching her somehow.
Holding her sleeve.
Resting his head on her shoulder.
Playing with her fingers during lectures.
Following her around campus like an oversized lost puppy.
One day she finally stopped walking and turned toward him flatly.

✧˖° Song: Ride or Die - EVAN
I was just a bartender in a rowdy dive bar on the edge of town, the kind of place where the neon sign flickered half the time and the air always smelled like stale beer, cigarette smoke, and regret. Fights broke out almost every night bottles smashing, fists flying, shouts echoing off the sticky wooden floors. But through all the chaos, there was one guy who always caught my eye. And I was pretty sure I caught his too.
Evan.
He was tall, easily over six foot three, with messy blonde hair that fell just right across his forehead, like he’d rolled out of bed after a wild night and still looked like a rockstar. Leather jacket, faded jeans that hugged his powerful thighs, and that dangerous, effortless swagger. He rode with a motorcycle gang, had a reputation for dealing in things he shouldn’t, and everyone in the bar knew his name. People whispered about him some feared him, some wanted to be him. But to me, he was the highlight of every shift. He came in almost every single day, sliding onto the same stool at the end of the bar, flashing that crooked smirk that made my stomach flip.
We’d exchange small talk, lingering glances that lasted a beat too long, but nothing more. Just another customer, right? Except he wasn’t. He stood out. Magnetic. Addictive.
That night was like any other until it wasn’t. Evan walked in with a fresh, angry red scar slashed across his cheekbone, still raw and glistening like he’d just taken a nasty hit. He dropped onto his usual stool, blood still faintly smeared near his jaw.
“Cold beer, sweetheart,” he said, voice low and rough like gravel wrapped in velvet.
I slid the frosty bottle across the bar. “Your face doesn’t look so pretty tonight.”
He laughed, deep and genuine, the sound sending heat straight through me. “I always look good. Scratches or not.”
I rolled my eyes and laughed, turning back to work, but I couldn’t stop stealing glances. When he eventually headed toward the bathroom, something reckless took over. I grabbed a small first aid kit from under the counter gauze, antiseptic, whatever I could find and followed him without thinking. My heart hammered as I waited in the dim hallway.
The door opened. Evan stepped out and nearly jumped when he saw me standing there.
“What the—?”
I didn’t give him time to finish. I reached up, cupping his jaw gently but firmly, and pressed the gauze to the nasty cut. He hissed.
“Ouch.”
“Don’t be a baby,” I teased, dabbing carefully to stop the bleeding.
He stared down at me, surprise flickering in those bambi brown eyes. For a moment, the loud bar faded away. “What’s your name?” I asked softly.
“Evan,” he murmured.
“Interesting name,” I replied with a small smile.
He chuckled, but the moment shattered when the front door banged open. A group of dangerous-looking men stormed in tattooed, leather clad, eyes scanning the room like predators. Evan’s expression shifted to pure shock. He grabbed my hand instantly.
“Come on, quick.”
He pulled me through the back exit before I could protest. We burst out into the cool night air behind the bar.
“What the hell was that?” I demanded, breathless.
“Those are the guys who just rearranged my face,” he growled. “I took too much money from them.”
“Then why take me with you?”
He paused, looking at me like he was figuring it out himself. “I don’t know. I just… did.”
I laughed despite the adrenaline. But then a shout cut through the night: “There he is!”
“Shit,” Evan cursed. He yanked a helmet onto his head and swung a leg over his sleek black motorcycle. “Ride or die, baby. You jumping on or you wanna die here?”
I didn’t even think. The sound of footsteps pounding closer made the decision for me. I swung my leg over, wrapping my arms tight around his muscular waist as the engine roared to life. We shot forward like a bullet. The wind whipped my hair, the world blurred into streaks of light and shadow. I’d never been on a bike like this fast, reckless, freeing. My heart raced with fear and exhilaration. I’d just ditched my shift. My boss was going to kill me. But being pressed against Evan’s strong back, feeling the heat of his body through his jacket…it was worth it. Why not take the chance?
We rode for what felt like forever, leaving the city lights behind until we pulled up to a rundown motel on the outskirts. It looked abandoned, neon buzzing faintly, rooms dark and secretive. Perfect for hiding.
“What now?” I asked as he killed the engine.
“I don’t know,” he admitted with a smirk. “I live here, actually.”
We stepped into his room, and it was exactly what I expected: clothes scattered, empty bottles, ashtrays full of cigarette butts, and the faint sweet chemical scent of drugs lingering. A single lamp cast a warm, dim glow over the unmade bed.
“So this is home, huh, Evan?” I said, looking around.
“Yeah. This is it.”
He sat on the edge of the bed, lighting a cigarette. I opened the window to let in fresh air and turned to face him. We stood across from each other, tension crackling like electricity. He took a long drag, then asked, “Why’d you come with me?”
“I don’t wanna die,” I said with a shrug. “And I like rides.”
A slow, wicked grin spread across his face. “So that’s how it is? You like rides?”
I laughed. He offered me the cigarette. I took it, inhaling deeply before handing it back. We talked about the men chasing him, about the money he’d skimmed, about life. When he asked if I did drugs, I told him I smoked a joint now and then but nothing harder.
“Not really my thing.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Never had the right drug, then.”
I arched my own brow. “And what’s the right drug?”
He stood up slowly, stepping close until our bodies nearly touched. “Me.”
I laughed, pushing at his chest playfully. “You’re insane.” I stubbed the cigarette out the window.
He told me he’d noticed me every day at the bar, found me interesting. Magnetic. I teased him back: “Today must be your lucky day.”
His smirk turned heated. He reached for a small baggie on the nightstand, offering it, but I gently pushed it aside. Instead, I closed the distance and pushed him back toward the bed. He let himself fall, pulling me with him so I straddled his lap.
“You wanna try me after all, huh?” he murmured, voice husky.
“Shut up,” I whispered.
His large, calloused hands slid up my back, pulling me flush against him. We stared into each other’s eyes for a heated second before our mouths crashed together. The kiss was hungry, desperate, all tongue and teeth and raw need. He kissed like he fought dominant, skilled, consuming. His tongue explored my mouth perfectly, stroking in a way that made my toes curl. I moaned into him, fingers tangling in his blonde hair as his hands boldly gripped my ass, squeezing the soft flesh.
“Fuck…” he groaned against my lips.
Clothes came off in a frenzy. He yanked his t-shirt over his head, revealing a sculpted, battle-hardened body defined abs, broad chest, and a striking tattoo curling along his ribs. Old scars marked his skin like badges of honor. I ran my hands over every inch, feeling the heat and strength. He peeled my top off, then my bra, his mouth trailing hot, open mouthed kisses down my neck, across my collarbone, until he reached my breasts.
He sucked one nipple into his mouth, tongue swirling expertly, teeth grazing just enough to make me arch and cry out. “Evan…shit…”
My hands fisted tighter in his hair as he lavished attention on my sensitive peaks, switching sides, sucking harder. I was soaked already, grinding against the growing bulge in his jeans.
He flipped us suddenly, pinning me beneath him. With a predatory grin, he dragged my pants and panties down my legs, then shocked me by pulling the lace down the rest of the way with his teeth. His mouth was on me instantly hot, wet, relentless. His tongue licked long stripes up my dripping folds, circling my clit with devastating precision before sucking it between his lips. Two thick fingers pushed inside me, curling against that perfect spot while he devoured me.
Pleasure built like a tidal wave. I was writhing, moaning his name like a prayer, hips bucking against his face. I was so close right on the edge when he pulled back.
I whimpered in protest. “What the hell?”
He smirked, wiping his glistening mouth with the back of his hand. “Don’t be so needy, baby. I’m gonna fuck you properly.”
He shoved his jeans and Calvin Klein boxers down in one motion. His cock sprang free thick, long, veined, and rock-hard. At the base, just above it, was a bold tattoo: “Ride or Die.” I stared, half laughing, half throbbing with need.
He leaned down, lips brushing my ear. “Ride or die?”
I smiled wickedly. “I fucking love rides.”
He lay back, and I climbed on top, positioning myself over that massive cock. I sank down slowly, inch by inch, feeling myself stretch around him. The fullness was incredible almost too much, yet perfect. We both groaned loudly as I bottomed out, my walls clenching tight around him.
“Fuck, yeah… just like that,” he growled, hands gripping my hips hard enough to bruise.
I started moving, rolling my hips, riding him with increasing speed. His cock hit every sensitive spot inside me, dragging against my walls with delicious friction. His hands roamed squeezing my ass, slapping it lightly, pinching my nipples as I bounced. The sound of skin slapping skin filled the room, mixed with our shameless moans. I could feel him throbbing inside me, raw and deep. Thank god I’m taking the pill.
He thrust up to meet me, fucking me from below with powerful strokes that left me gasping. Sweat slicked our bodies. I leaned forward, bracing my hands on his chest, riding him harder, faster. My clit rubbed against his pelvis with every grind, pushing me closer and closer.
“Evan… I’m gonna—”
“Come for me, baby,” he commanded, voice strained.
The orgasm crashed over me like lightning intense, shattering. My pussy spasmed around his cock, milking him as I cried out. He followed right after, burying himself deep and flooding me with hot spurts, groaning my name like a curse and a blessing.
“Holy shit…”
I collapsed onto his chest, both of us breathing hard, bodies trembling. After a long moment, I lifted my head and smiled.
“That was the best ride of my life.”
We spent the rest of the night tangled in each other kissing, touching, fucking again and again in every position. Slow and sensual, then rough and desperate. By morning, I knew this was the start of something wild, dangerous, and utterly addictive. Evan wasn’t just a customer anymore. He was my ride or die.

✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.*✧.
Heeseung
You were sprawled across the bed, one leg tangled in the blanket, thumb lazily scrolling through your phone while waiting for Heeseung to come home. It hadn’t even been that long—barely twenty minutes—but the quiet felt louder than usual.
The door clicked open, before you could even look up, the mattress dipped and a familiar weight settled against you. Strong arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you flush against him as his face buried itself into the crook of your neck.
“Babyyy,” he whined, voice instantly softer, needier. “I missed you so much.”
You smiled, instinctively tilting your head to give him better access as he nuzzled closer, rubbing his cheek against your skin like a clingy cat.
“I missed my lobe,” he mumbled, words slurring together. “My baby. I was so tired without you.”
Your heart melted.
Quietly, carefully, you reached for your phone and turned the camera on, angling it just enough to capture the scene.
Heeseung didn’t notice—too busy clinging to you, arms tightening as he sighed dramatically.
“Aw,” you cooed, deliberately sweet. “Is that so, baby boy? You tired, my boy?”
He hummed in response, nodding against your neck. “Mhmm. So tired. Wanna stay like this forever.” You giggled softly, fingers brushing through his hair. “Poor thing.”
That’s when he lifted his head, leaning in to press a kiss to your lips—and froze.
His eyes flicked to your phone, the camera.Recording.
His entire body stiffened. Slowly, very slowly, Heeseung pulled away from you. He cleared his throat, posture straightening like he’d just flipped a switch.
“…Okay,” he said casually, smoothing his hoodie like nothing had happened. “I’m gonna go play some games.”
He turned and walked toward his desk without another word, completely composed, shoulders relaxed, dignity restored.
You stared at his back for exactly two seconds. Then you burst out laughing.
“LEE HEESEUNG,” you called out between giggles. “You were literally baby-talking five seconds ago!”
He didn’t turn around. Just sat down, grabbed his controller, and muttered, “Delete that.”
You grinned at your phone, replaying the clip where he was clinging to you like his life depended on it.
“Never,” you said sweetly.
From across the room, he sighed—long and dramatic.“Ugh…I hate you.”
But the smile on his face said otherwise.
Jongseong
You were curled up on the couch, legs tucked under you as some random show played in the background. You weren’t really watching it just letting it run while you scrolled absentmindedly on your phone.
The door to Jay’s home office opened. You glanced up just in time to see him step into the living room, tie loosened, shoulders tense, jaw tight. He looked exhausted, the kind of tired that sat heavy in his bones.
Before you could say a word, he crossed the room in a few long strides. And then suddenly you were being lifted by your waist.
“Jay—” you laughed softly as he pulled you onto his lap, settling back into the couch with you tucked securely against his chest. His arms wrapped around you immediately, holding you close like he’d been running on empty without you.
He buried his face into your neck, breathing you in.
Your free hand moved on instinct, rubbing his back slowly, up and down, feeling the tension beneath his shirt.
You quietly opened the camera app on your phone, angling it just enough. In the softest voice, you asked, “Is my Jongie baby stressed?”
Jay hummed in response, low and needy, lips brushing against your skin. “Mm.” He pressed a kiss to your neck, lingering there before murmuring, “Babee.”
The sound made your heart squeeze. You smiled, still stroking his back. “Yeah? Rough day?”
Another hum. His grip tightened just a little. “Don’t wanna think. Just… stay with me sweetheart.”
You leaned into him, smiling to yourself, that’s when he shifted slightly and caught sight of your phone.
His eyes flicked to the screen. Recording. He froze.
Slowly, Jay lifted his head from your neck, expression completely neutral now. Too neutral. He gently took the phone from your hand and turned it off without a word.
Then he looked at you, dead serious.“That never happened.”. You stared at him for a second.
Then you burst out laughing.“JAY,” you giggled, “you were literally whining”
He sighed, resting his forehead against yours. “…I’m stressed, and you are trying to expose my cold ceo image.”
You kissed his cheek, still smiling. “Too late, baby.”
He rolled his eyes but pulled you closer anyway.
Jaeyun
You were sitting on the couch, trying to focus on your phone, when Jake flopped down beside you no warning, no space instantly wrapping his arms around your waist and pressing his cheek against your shoulder.
“Babe,” he whined. “Why are you so far.” You blinked. “Jake… you’re literally on top of me.”
He only tightened his hold, legs tangling with yours as he sighed dramatically. “Still. Too far.” You laughed, lifting your phone and casually opening the camera, not even bothering to hide it. Jake noticed immediately.
Did he stop? No.
Instead, he burrowed closer, cheek squished against you as he pouted straight into the camera. “Why are you recording,” he complained, voice soft and drawn out. “You always do this.”
“You’re cute,” you teased, angling the phone lower. “People need to see this side of you.”
He scrunched his nose, annoyed but his arms didn’t loosen. If anything, he clung harder. “I’m not cute,” he muttered, resting his chin on your shoulder. “I’m your sexy boiii”
You hummed. “You just said ‘babeeee’ like you were about to cry.” “That’s because I miss you, mama !!” he shot back immediately. “And you’re right here but you’re not paying attention to me.”
You laughed, heart warm, thumb brushing his cheek. “Oh yunnie…”
“I don’t care if you record,” he continued, whining openly now. “Just—don’t stop touching me.” You smiled, then casually said, “Okay. I might send this to your members.”
“What?” he whined louder, head lifting instantly. “No no, don’t! Babe!” He shook his head, clinging to you like a koala. “They don’t need to see this, please”
You giggled. “Why? You said you didn’t care.”
“I don’t!” he protested, then softer, “I just don’t send it to themmm.” He hid his face in your neck, voice muffled and extra whiny. “That’s embarrassing.”
You laughed fully now, happiness bubbling in your chest as you kissed his temple. “You’re adorable.” He groaned, still holding you tight. “I hate that you're enjoying this.”
But even then he didn’t move. Not even an inch.
Sunghoon
when he walked into the bedroom and immediately climbed onto the bed beside you, curling into your side without saying a word, you froze.
Then smiled.
He leaned his head against your shoulder, arms slipping around your waist as he sighed softly, almost like he didn’t realize he’d done it. You didn’t say anything. Just carefully reached for your phone and turned the camera on.
Sunghoon stayed exactly where he was, forehead resting against your collarbone, fingers lightly gripping your shirt.... “…You comfy?” you asked gently.
He nodded, voice quiet. “Mm.” Your heart melted.
You tilted the phone just enough. “My baby’s clingy today, huh?” He shifted slightly, hiding his face deeper into you. “Yahh, don't start”
You laughed softly, fingers brushing through his hair. “But you’re Cutie patooie, Hoon.”
He made a small sound of protest something between a sigh and a whine and tightened his hold for half a second before realizing himself.
That’s when he glanced up, and saw the phone.
His ears turned red instantly. “…Are you filming?” he asked, already sitting up. You nodded innocently. “You look cute.”
His cheeks flushed even more. Without another word, he stood up, smoothed out his hoodie, and walked toward the door like nothing had happened.
No reaction. No explanation. Just gone.
You stared for a beat. Then burst out laughing.
“HEY,” you called after him, giggling. “Where are you going?."He didn’t turn around. Just muttered, “I wasn’t clingy.”
“You were,” you teased. “So cute, Hoon.” Silence.
Then, from the hallway: “Delete that, Now.”
You grinned at your phone. “Never. My cutie patooie Hoonie pie.”
He paused.“…Don’t call me that.”
You laughed even harder. “Aww, my sweet baby boy.”
The door closed, while glaring at you but behind it his cheeks were still bright red.
