Your head whips up from your homework. "Who in the world...?" You curse at whomever is at the door for breaking your concentration. Unfolding your legs, you get up and head over to see who it is.
As you open the door, you were not expecting the person in front of you.
"Oh my goodness Jooheon-ah!!" You squeal. Your boyfriend gives you a big grin, making his eyes disappear and his dimples come out. "Hi baby girl."
You throw your arms around him and he does the same, wrapping his low on your waist, pulling you close to his body.
"Mmmm..." he softly groans. "I missed you.." You snuggle your head into his shoulder. "I missed you too."
You then pull away and lead him inside. "I thought you were getting back later?" You ask while sitting back down on the couch, near your discarded homework.
Jooheon gives you cheesy grin. "I mayyyy have stretched the truth a little bit." You hit him lightly on the arm. "Ow Y/N-ah! That hurttt." He teases, rubbing the spot you hit.
"Oh you're fine you big baby." You tease back, laughing at him. Jooheon furrows his brow, scrunches his nose up, and frowns jokingly. You lean forward and plant a small peck on his nose, laughing at him still. Jooheon's face smooths out into a smile at the sound of your laughter.
"Ahhh...I missed that sound while I was gone..." He sighs. You raise an eyebrow at his statement.
"What sound? Me hitting you?" You tease him still. Jooheon laughs at your lame joke. "No pabo~ Your laugh. I missed the sound of it." He pokes your cheek with his index finger.
Now you scrunch your nose up. "Aaaish Jooheon-ah that was so cheesy." You say even though the tips of your ears turn red and a light blush splashes across your cheeks.
Jooheon laughs at your reaction and grabs your face with both of his hands, squishing your cheeks together. "But you love my cheesiness jagyia." He says quietly before leaning in and kissing you on the forehead.
He releases your face and lays back on the couch, sprawling out, clearly tired from his schedule. You glance at the clock on the wall.
"Oh crap it's getting late. This homework is due soon, I need to finish it." You think to yourself, sitting up straighter. Grabbing your pencil and straightening up your papers, you try to regain the concentration you had before Jooheon showed up.
As you begin to work on finishing your homework, Jooheon notices you stopped paying attention to him. "Jagggiyaaaa~ Jagggiyaaa~" He says in his high pitched baby aegyo voice while poking your side with his foot. You swat at his foot and ignore him, trying to get your work done quickly. "Jooheon-ah I need to get this done real quick. I'll be finished soon."
But Jooheon doesn't give up. He sits up and wraps his arms around you. Then plops his head on your shoulder. "Jagiyaaaa~" He starts to shake his shoulders into you and pouts. "Cuddle me?"
You make the mistake of glancing at him. Your boyfriend was pulling his famous aegyo and it's just So. Damn. Cute. His adorable puppy dog eyes look up at you and the pout he added melts your heart, especially after not seeing him for so long. Jooheon definitely knows how to play your heart.
You put your pencil down. "Homework can wait, I guess." You say grinning while Jooheon gives you a dimpled smile as he pulls you backwards with him onto the couch.
You snuggle your head into his chest while he runs his hands through your hair, taking care to get every knot and tangle out with gentle hands. His chest rises and falls with his deep even breaths. You peek up at him with a soft smile and whisper,
Lee Jooheon (JooheonXReader) | FLUFF? kinda weird fluff tho | wc: 2.7k bcs i tried to build a plot TRIED being the main point here

You knew you probably looked ridiculous, dodging behind people on the dance floor and sliding bizarrely along the walls. You looked like an attempt of being a spy from one of those shitty spy movies – fancy dress and all. It was an attempt, but that doesn’t mean you’re actually succeeding.
You were avoiding Jooheon, attempting to get over your feelings for him – though it’s hard to avoid Jooheon when the boys forced you to come to their Starship party. You couldn’t like Jooheon. You knew each other too well, and you were bound to meet him all the time when Shownu is your best friend.
You just had to get over this stupid crush you have.
You very quickly found yourself sitting at the bar, close to the wall and far from where the rest of the members were chatting. You wanted to make your presence known, but you figured it’d be nice to have a drink before.
Your hand was now wrapped around a can of beer, your fingers picking at the rim of the opening as you stared into the distance, tuning out the world and noise around you.
For the most part, the party went well. You managed to avoid having to meet new people, talked to the boys you knew so well since you often came over for drinks and gossip, and occasionally rejected people’s offers to dance. You scrolled on your phone aimlessly and hummed along to the songs you knew. It was almost a successful mission.
You shouldn’t have said that.
At 11:30, you were all set to say your goodbyes and make your way back home. It had already been 3 hours, and you thought that was enough. But a drunk, and a very drunken Shownu disagreed.
You were almost there, pressing the ‘down’ button on the elevator to get to the last bus but as soon as the doors opened, a familiar set of hands wrapped around your waist.
“Yah, where do you think you’re going?” his words were slightly slurred but loud and full of excitement. Shownu didn’t usually get drunk, but once he wants to – he goes all the way kind of drunk. “You can’t leave until you dance with me!”
He pulled you back in the party and onto the dance floor as he began to dance enthusiastically around you, grabbing your hand and spinning you around. Hyunwoo had a professional side to him when it comes to dancing, but he also had that goofy, lame ass dance he liked to show off. You couldn’t help but laugh at his high spirited drunkenness.
You only watched him as he danced for a few more minutes before he got tired and shimmied away. He was the one who pulled you here but now he’s running away from you? And so, there you were, left alone to stand awkwardly at the edge of the dance floor, chuckling gently at how funny Shownu gets when he’s drunk.
“Hey, Y/N, having fun?” Jooheon’s voice interrupted your thoughts and you jumped slightly at his sudden appearance.
“Oh, hey, yeah, hey.” You stumbled over your words, avoiding eye contact as you responded, “Yeah, Shownu’s drunk as hell.” You chuckled half-heartedly, eyes trailing on the ground in front of you.
“Why are you avoiding me?” the question was blunt as he attempted to meet your eyes, but you wouldn’t look up.
“Whaaa? No I’m not, ha, what made you think that?” you finally looked up, but still avoided his eyes as you searched the room for an escape. “I’m just kind of tired, not used to parties and all.”
“Alright, that’s it.” He cuts you off as he grabbed your wrist, pulling you through the party and outside to the pool deck. As he dragged you past the bar, you saw Shownu and Hyungwon, widened your eyes and mouthed a big “Help!” towards them. Hyungwon shook his head and chuckled slightly while Shownu just looks confused.
Jooheon pulled you out into the cold air and stood in front of you. His piercing eyes were on you and you could feel the interrogation in them as his brows were pulled together.
“What the hell is going on, Y/N?”
“Jooheon,”
“You’ve been acting strange for weeks and now you won’t even talk to me?” He swung his hands up into the air, obviously frustrated by your behaviour as you rubbed the back of your neck trying to think of something to say other than ‘I love you please kiss me’.
There was a small lull in the interrogation as he stared at you expectantly. You opened your mouth pathetically before closing it, unable to find any words.
His face contorted into a look of confusion and desperation. “Why do you suddenly hate me?”
You almost broke at the tone of his voice - he sounded terrified. He sounded as if you hating him would be the worst thing to happen to him and it made you want to wrap your arms around him, hold him and tell him how much you really like him. Instead, you buried both your hands in your hair and pulled, trying to distract yourself from the stress of this moment.
“I don’t hate you Heon! God, I could never hate you…” You trailed off, finally meeting his eyes and contemplating your next move.
Unfortunately, you weren’t able to make another move as you were both drawn away from the conversation by a loud yell from above you.
“LET’S DO THIS GUYS!”
You gasped as you saw Shownu standing on the edge of the balcony above you. He was suited up as he tied his coat over his head and a crowd of people surrounded him, shoving cameras to record him instead of stopping him. Well, Hyungwon was trying – but that was going nowhere.
“Oh my god, Shownu! What the hell are you doing?!” you yelled at him, your hand subconsciously pulling onto Jooheon’s arm in your moment of panic.
“Guys, help! He wants to breakdance in the air apparently!” Hyungwon shouted, trying to pull on Shownu’s arm but apparently – not moving.
“Oh, for the love of god.” You mumbled. You were about to voice your displeasure at your knob of a friend but Shownu just tripped on the ledge, and fell backwards.
On his butt.
“This hyung turns into a whole idiot when he’s drunk.” Jooheon mumbled, asking Hyungwon to leave and prepare Shownu’s hangover drink so he won’t be insane in the morning. Pleased to leave, Hyungwon just left and asked Jooheon to bring the oldest hyung back home safe.
The both of you immediately helped pull Shownu back on his feet. The alcohol seemed to have hit Shownu hard and he was now unable to support himself. Jooheon groaned, pulling the drunk man’s arms over his shoulders and you did the same with his other arm as he slumped between the both of you.
You stumbled through the party and into the elevator, finding your way to Shownu and Hyungwon’s shared room and dropped him onto his bed. Jooheon begins to pull Shownu’s shoes off as you went to Hyungwon to tell him that Shownu was back.
“I fucked up, huh.” Shownu mumbled the words into his pillow and attempted to pull himself up but you gently pressed his head back down onto the bed as Jooheon stifled a small chuckle.
“You sure did, hyung.” Jooheon mumbled, looking up at Hyungwon as he walked into the room with a glass full of green liquid.
You were avoiding looking at Jooheon again, sitting silently on Shownu’s bed as Jooheon and Hyungwon talked about how Shownu would be in the morning. He would of course, be back to normal but will never stop with his apologizing.
You joined in and chuckled at the thought. You were friends with all of them long enough to know how he would usually be. After Hyungwon said he’d take good care of Shownu, you left the room with a Jooheon following behind you.
You thought of immediately leaving the room, leaving the building. But Jooheon pulled you by the arm and tugged you to the living area outside of the bedroom. Hyungwon wouldn’t mind if you guys stayed for a while, he thought.
You both ended up sitting on the sofa in the room, waiting for someone to break the silence. Jooheon disappeared to the kitchen and came back with a stash of candy that all four of you loved.
“Oh my god, I thought you were the one with good aim,” you laughed after Jooheon threw another strawberry-flavoured candy at your forehead. He chuckled quietly, his eyes squinting as you grabbed a small handful and threw them all at him, bursting into a fit of giggles as he moved his head wildly, trying his best to catch at least one.
“Shut up, Hyungwon doesn’t know we’re out here.” He whisper-shouted at you, and you tried your best to stifle your giggles.
Jooheon smiled, throwing one of the last candies at your forehead on purpose as you protested. Just like nothing was weird between you two. “Are you heading back?”
“Probably. But I think I missed the last bus.” You groaned, silently blaming Shownu for even asking you to come to the party. Now you had to take the first bus in the morning tomorrow. “Aren’t you heading back to your room?”
“I think I’ll just sleep here. I think Changkyun’s getting laid, or so I heard.” He shrugged his shoulders.
“Are you jealous? Wow.” You exclaimed. “Well, I’m staying here so you can’t. Hyungwon would probably let me stay here too because he loves me more.”
Jooheon stared at you. You didn’t notice it until you looked up at him, and your eyes ran away again, your heart thumping loud and hard at how his gaze was fixed on you.
Stop it.
“We’re not done talking though, Y/N.” He whispered. You closed your eyes shut, thinking of what to do. “Y/N, what’s wrong? What did I do wrong?”
“You did nothing.” You cut him off. “I don’t hate you. It’s just…” You stopped, picking up a few candies that fell on the floor from your intense game of catch.
His stare was still on you while you stared at the floor, the small amount of alcohol in your veins trying to make its way out of your system. “It’s just you’re so caring and you always make me smile and laugh. And you’re so attractive and I love hanging out with Shownu because you’re there and I have this stupid crush on you—“
You abruptly halted to a stop. Your mind immediately catching up with your words and you squeezed your eyes shut, pursing your lips together as you cursed yourself for blurting that out.
“I, I didn’t say anything.”
“Wait,”
“No, I shouldn’t have said that.” You panicked.
“Y/N, please,”
You were now standing, walking away from the area where Jooheon and you were sitting earlier and Jooheon was one step away from grabbing you in his arms before Hyungwon came out of the room.
“Oh.” Hyungwon murmured.
“I, I, uh, can I stay over? I kind of missed the last bus, so I was hoping that I could stay on the sofa or something,” you murmured to Hyungwon and the smile on Hyungwon’s face soothed your insides.
“Sure, babe, nobody cares.” He slapped your arm playfully before turning to Jooheon. “You. Go. Changkyun called and asked me where you were.”
Jooheon tried his best to not shove Hyungwon for ruining his curiosity and decided to ignore him and looked at you. But you weren’t looking at him.
Of course you weren’t.
“Yah! Go.” Hyungwon pushed Jooheon, obviously dumb to not sense what Jooheon was trying to do. It wasn’t his fault he didn’t know, but Jooheon groaned.
“Fine, fine. Ugh, okay.” He held his hands up in mock surrender before exiting the room quietly, leaving you in the room with a nonchalant Hyungwon.
“Fuck.” You whispered to yourself, staring at the door as he just walked off.
You woke up the next morning on the sofa, cursing yourself for drifting off when you planned to take the first bus. Your plans to run away before anyone else woke up were out the window.
You walked into the kitchen, desperate for a glass of water. You gasped, shocked to see Jooheon already there, leaning against one of the counters.
“Good morning.” He said, a smile on his face like nothing happened. Like he wasn’t supposed to be mad at you for not talking to him, for ignoring him.
“How did you even get in?” You asked, still standing there in shock, still in your dress from the party while he looked like he had a nice shower.
“I begged Hyungwon to open the door over the phone, and he jumped out of bed once he heard my reasons.” He explained, passing a cup of coffee to you.
“Oh.” You accepted the warm coffee, trying to hide your embarrassment and letting out a dry chuckle. “Well, okay.”
“That reason being you. Can we please talk?” he said, looking at you with that same desperate look from the night before.
“Look, I’m sorry. I was obviously drunk and it was out of nowhere. Can we just forget that ever happened?”
“Y/N, you didn’t even let me talk.”
“I mean, Hyunwoo’s probably awake by now,” you made an attempt at an excuse but he shook his head.
“Hear me out.” He stood straighter and moved closer to you, cutting off any escape routes as you pressed your back against the wall, hoping to disappear into it. “If you had let me speak last night, then I would’ve told you that I think you’re amazing and I’m so thankful Shownu brought you over to our dorm.”
You looked up at him, surprised.
“You’re so nice to everyone and you make the best comebacks ever. You cook for us like it’s no big deal even though we know you’re struggling with your studies and that part-time job that sucks. You come to me so I can take a look at your lyrics and they’re all so amazing.” He smiled, his hand now grazing your bare arm.
“You’re absolutely crazy and nice and annoying but it’s so wonderful.” Jooheon’s face was now inches away from yours as he caged you further against the wall. “And when we’re training, I can’t focus on anything else because you’re always in the back of my mind. Will you join us for dinner? Will you come over to watch us dance? Are you going to beat Hoseok at bowling again?”
You reached forward and gripped his shirt, pulling him close enough to press your lips against his and he immediately reciprocated, his hands wrapping around you. You smiled into the kiss and you felt his fingers gently weaved its way through your hair.
His tongue gently brushed along your bottom lip and you immediately parted them, allowing him to deepen the kiss and press you further against the wall. You never wanted to let go but you realized you were in Hyungwon and Shownu’s kitchen and that they can stroll in and see the two of you making out.
When you heard footsteps, he stepped back from you and you quickly brushed your hands through your hair, attempting to hide what had just occurred, but Hyungwon was already smirking.
“So, Jooheon. Did I do the right thing by letting you enter our room so early in the morning?” he asked cheekily.
“Shut up hyung.” Jooheon glared at him as he winked at you. Jooheon groaned.
“Can’t wait to let the others know.” Hyungwon squealed, an excited look in his eyes as he brought his phone out of nowhere to snap a picture of the both of you.
Jooheon quickly retaliated by chasing Hyungwon in the hotel room, and you laughed once you heard Shownu shouting at them to shut up before quickly apologizing.
You and Jooheon definitely had some other issues to discuss, but seeing Shownu first thing in the morning after what happened last night was definitely worth the wait.
