Pairing: Kim Junseo x reader;
Summary: Cupid was sick of doing it's job, how come everyone gets to be happy. Everyone but him. It would take an angel to make him believe, he too, was destined to find his perfect soul.
A/N: This is clearly very inspired by newjeans latest mv, with the concept of cupid (or eros) falling in love with psyche. Obviously this is gonna be a little different but that's the base. I hope you enjoy it!!
Every day it was the same old routine. Following your next "victim" making them have great luck in finding a partner. Obviously cupid can only do so much, he brings people together but if you need couples therapy, it's not his problem.
It's rare when his arrows become nothing more than a future story for someone to tell their kids, but it could very much happen. If you don't cherish the love you get don't expect it to last forever.
And that's part of the reason why Junseo no longer finds joy in his daily quests. He won't lie the first few times it was as magical to him as it was to the parties involved. But after seeing it go perfectly fine just for someone to ruin it, it was frustrating to say the least.
He'd give anything to be in their spots, he wishes he could experience the so called "love at first sight", he wishes he'd go to sleep thinking about the one he loves and nothing else. All of this caused a sort of indifference towards all humans, how could a species be so self entitled, bragging about how much they evolved when they can't even listen to someone else's heart. Selfish pieces of flesh.
There he was, witnessing yet another breakup before his eyes. It was so common he thought he was getting used to it. But he can never get used to the feeling of disappointment and the hole it leaves on his chest.
It was clearly time to go pick another human in hopes they would be a little kinder than most. That's when he saw you sitting at a coffee shop, enjoying your sweet morning tea. A slight change for once, usually the prefered beverage is bitter black coffee, very reflective of some personalities. You were accompanied with a friend chatting about silly little things, another dissimilarity. Normally most people gossip or complain about every little thing. You intrigued him so he was for sure going to be your shadow for a while.
Once you were done with your errands for the day you decided to go home, taking a very curious boy with you. He knew this went beyond his obligations but you were mesmerizing, absolutely breathtaking. He had only heard of people like you in books and movies that previous patients spoke about. He never thought those were inspired by real people, but there you were proving him wrong.
Your nights consist of the same pattern of events, prepare dinner, shower, skin care and a nice movie to fall asleep to. Simple is the best. And Junseo couldn't agree more, he sat near the sink admiring every inch of your beauty, the way you were singing your lungs out while toning your face. He couldn't help but smile.
He was having more fun with you than he ever did by playing matchmaker.
Thankfully you couldn't see him or hear him but these are the times he wished he wasn't invisible. He wants to join you on this little karaoke session while the pasta cooks, hold your hand to spin you around, kiss you all over till your giggles bring him to a stop.
The timer went off signaling it was time to dig in. You carefully transferred the tiny pot onto the unused stove top, preventing it from cooking it longer than planned. As you were platting your food, he looks amused, pleased. It's capellini, also known as angel hair pasta. He couldn't lie, this was starting to sound a lot like destiny. Which is another nickname most mortals have for him.
You made him believe in things that weren't real, that's how special you had become.
Cuddling with your pillows you made yourself comfortable, anxiously waiting to watch "letters to juliet". Meanwhile loverboy, quite literally, sat at the end of your bed watching your every move. Somehow you look better than when he first saw you but that was never a factor he cared about. Your energy was enough to convince him you were worth his time. One smile on your face to put another on his.
Mid movie your eyes had quit on you, succumbing to the tiredness. Slowly, as if you could wake up due to his action, he made his way to the side of the bed, wanting to be as close to you as possible.
Your breaths were soft and gentle, just like your heart, just like every part of your being.
He wanted you to know, even if you actually had no way of communicating with him, that from now on, you're stuck with him.
"I want to devote myself to you, in hopes one day our souls may actually find a way to exist as one. So here lies my promise next you, taking my place so no one else will."
Summary: Everything you needed was right infront of you but you were too blind to see.
Content warning: angst (a little sad but comforting moment), open ending(?)
Author note: This has been sitting in my drafts for a while now but I’m finally posting. I actually like how this came out and I hope you like it too!
Life wasn’t easy lately and even though you try your best to pull through every obstacle you can’t lie about how tiring and draining it is. It’s like every time things seem to get better they actually get worse and somehow you have to find strength to not crumble and let all your problems take over you.
In situations like this you tend to isolate yourself, wanting to deal with your hardships on your own. Which you believe it works for you most times but when it’s too much you want a shoulder to cry on, even if you don’t have the guts to ask for help. Luckly for you, you already found someone who knows you better than you know yourself. As soon as he realises your mood changes, either in person or by text, he always knows what to do. He knows you don’t like talking about it and that you don’t want him to carry your burdens, even though he wants to. He wants to help you more than anything in the world, be there for you in every moment, good or bad.
Best friends are a relief to have, but when feelings start to get complicated it becomes stressful. Junseo wants to be honest and let you know how he feels but he knows you have too much on your plate, so he always holds it in. He planned on confessing a few weeks back but he couldn’t bring himself to actually do it. You were completly unaware such feelings existed since everything was blurry and you’ve been living in auto pilot pretty much. So unaware that you didn’t have time to process the fact that such feelings were mutual. The amount of times you call him a week is almost like you guys are already a thing, you rely on him for everything, studying, keeping you company, when something breaks, when you can’t sleep and most of all when you can’t hold the pain anymore.
Today was just another boring, dreadful day, both of you met at his house so you could study for your next exam. But none of you were actually focused on your work. He was wondering how you were doing since he’s been worried sick and you were in your head asking yourself if taking time to study was actually going to help you. A few minutes passed and both of you grew tired of such a suffocating environment making you close your notebooks at the same time.He spoke first.
Junseo: So how have you been doing? You haven’t called in a while I’m surprised ahah.
Y/N: Very funny ahah I’ve been doing fine I guess, I can’t really focus on anything but what’s new.
He knew this small talk wasn’t going to go anywhere so he decided to adress the elephant in the room, the timing wasn’t right but he couldn’t wait any longer.
Junseo: Can I tell you something?
Y/N: If you’re asking it has to be serious ahah go ahead.
Junseo: So you know that time I prepared a picnic for us in your backyard, or the time I bought us tickets to see your favourite artist or even a week ago when we pulled an all nighter cause you couldn’t sleep??
Y/N: Of course I do how could I forget it, you’re the bestest of friends.
Junseo: That’s what you think of me?
Y/N: What do you mean?
Junseo: I think of you as my best friend too but lately I can’t lie I feel more than that. Every time you call me even if it’s because you’re sad part of me is happy you chose me. When we part ways after a full day together it hurts that I can’t just kiss you like I truly desire. I know I’m probably being selfish by telling you this now since you have so much going on but I can’t hide it anymore.
After hearing such words you were in shock, how could you not register how you felt torwards him all this time, you’ve been so busy trying to prepare for the next bad thing, when you had someone that loved you more than you knew willing to ease every pain you had. He felt selfish for telling you this now but you felt selfish for not recognizing him and his efforts.
He was looking down to his hands waiting for some kind of reaction from you, he though he screwed up, that you were uncomfortable and wanted to leave. While his mind was racing yours was slowing down, the only thing that truly mattered in this moment was how patient, considerate, helpful and loving he’s been to you. You really don’t know what you would do without him.
After what felt like days to junseo, you decided to grab both his hands in a reassuring action before you explained how you felt.
Y/N: I don’t think you’re being selfish, you actually did more good than you know. You made me stop and listen to my heart for once, my brain has been so loud it drowned everything else. I’m so sorry I have been stressed every time i come to you lately you don’t have to carry my problems for me and the last thing I want is for you to worry about me.
He was staring straight into your eyes, listening carefully to everything that came out of your mouth. The look of expectance and hope he carried in his beautiful eyes almost made you trip on your words.
Y/N: I like you too I was just too busy about everything that was going on that I forgot to check on my feelings and my relationships in general. I’m sorry if I ever made you feel ignored or not loved I promise from now on I’ll repay you for everything you’ve done for me.
He sighed of relief after getting confirmation on how you felt, it made him much more at ease and his hands were no longer tense like when you grabbed them. It took him a few moments to say something since he was processing everything you said.
Junseo: I don’t want you to ever think you hurt me in some way because you didn’t, I held off on telling you this for so long because part of me was scared but it was my decision. And of course I’m going to worry about you, the all nighters we pull together are very easy because od the ones I pull on my own and I don’t want you to ever feel guilty about it. I like and I wouldn’t change it because as much as it ruins my sleep schedule, the knowing I’m here for you and that you feel calmer when you sit next to me on exam day, the seeing you smile when i bring you your favourite snack all of that makes up for not so good things.
At this point you were both teary eyed, not believing that this was all that needed to happen for you both to be able to relax for a long time now, no more weight on your shoulders or nervousness when meeting together. Things were falling in it’s place along with all the fears and wories you both carried.
You broke down faster than he did because even though he told you othing was your fault it still felt like it was to you, and it’s not like you blame him because you have been out of it for the past couple of weeks.
He got up to kneel on the side of your chair, finding your hands and pulling them in his direction intencionally making your entire body turn to face him. The silence wasn’t awkward, it was conforting almost like you were both bonding through it. You decided to kneel down as well infront of him, wanting to be at eye level with him. You noticed he had some tears streaming down his smooth cheeks, you put your now free hands on his face to clean the tears but also caress him and show him you’re here for him like all the times he was here for you.
Summary: All it took was 2 dogs and 1 cup of coffee.
Content warning: None just very wholesome ^^.
Spring is probably your favourite season, the flowers are blossoming the days are longer and brighter and life just seems to get lighter. You decided to go for a walk and bring your dog with you, he also deserves to see the beauty speing brings to the outside scenary.
You got dressed in athleasure wear, expecting to just go for a walk and come home, you got your best buddy and off you two were. Lucky for you there’s a park not far from your apartment so that’s where you headed to, headphones on and leash in hand you make your way to dog playgroung.
As soon as you got there you let your buddy run wild and meet new friends as he loves so much, you sat in a near bench waiting for him to get tired and come to you when he’s ready to go home. What you weren’t expecting was for someone to sit next to you. Sure you don’t mind but with so much free space your curiosity ran wild just like your dog.
You noticed your buddy was now only playing with a specific dog, you were happy they took a liking to each other and that they were having fun. Buddy and his friend ran in your direction and you were confused to why, until you realised the person sitting next to you was the dad of buddy’s new friend. You both realised what that meant and quickly smiled at each other. You couldn’t lie his smile made your heart skip a beat.
??: I guess our dogs have befriended each other.
Y/N: I guess so, mine is usually pretty social but he’s never picked anyone specifically before ahah.
??: So mine is special? that must mean something ahah.
Y/N: You really think so? Care to tell me in what way??
The tone in which this conversation was happening it was definetly very flirty and both of you were okay. You thought to yourself that dressing like this was perhaps a big mistake.
??: Maybe if I bought you a cup of coffee that could explain my words easier.
You were impressed to say the least he made a smooth move while still looking a little shy, enough to keep you intrigued and accept with his sugestion.
After said coffee you exchanged phone numbers both of you putting dog emojis next to the other person’s name. You said your goodbyes and once you got home you couldn’t get him out your head. You thought things like this only really happened in movies but here you were sitting on the couch blankly looking at the wall in front of you. Your dogs bark brought you back to reality, you asked him what was wrong and he walked off somewhere making you follow him. He got to your room and jumped on the bed immediately making you look at your phone that was left unattended for a few minutes. You saw the light was on meaning you were getting notifications and your brain couldn’t believe your eyes.
Junseo 🐶: I hope you weren’t too surprised by my request and I also hope you enjoyed it.
Junseo 🐶: I also think our puppies really got along? what do you say to a double playdate tomorrow?
Damn you missed having interactions like these and you made sure to thak your dog for making you cross paths with such a cute and loving guy. You rapidly responded to junseo, exciment growing inside of you to what tomorrow might bring.
