thoughts on how exo would react to you telling them about the đđ„Žđ„”đŠ dreams you had with them?
xiumin - he doesn't react much, just nods his head as he hears you and maybe gasps when you get into details. is normal, he tends to have it too.
junmyeon - honestly asks you if you're feeling neglected or something, if he should be giving it to you more often. sighs when you comfort him.
yixing - "why are you dreaming these things when i'm right here? đ€š". genuinely confused.
baekhyun - smirks so so much, loves that he's the one on your mind even when you're sleeping.
jongdae - he either smirks and makes a joke or asks you tons of questions if what you dreamed has a new kink or position.
chanyeol - "oh i had one about you too! so you were on top of me and-"
kyungsoo - stared at with like this đ but then later that night he's all over you and when you ask why he says "what? you've been dreaming about this".
jongin - blushes too hard, it feels like he has never seen you naked with how much he blushes. proceeds to ruin you at the first opportunity he has.
sehun - feels proud of himself and asks as many questions about it as he can (he wants to know what's subconsciously on your mind).

7.3k words
Youâre pacing back and forth in front of your sisterâs room, debating in your head. This feels insanely stupid and childish. You were close to Stephanie. This shouldnât be hard to ask. Â
âI can hear you drag your feet out there.â She finally calls out to you, tired of the incessant noise you were making. Â
âSorry.â You open her door and carefully shut it behind you. âI need a favor.âÂ
âWhat kind of favor?â She continues to type on her laptop. Her nails are freshly done in her classic pink shade. Her hair is curled so effortlessly. Her lash extensions look so natural on her. Sheâs beautiful. Sheâs always been so beautiful.Â
âUm,â You find a spot on her freshly made bed and find a plushie to hug to ease your nerves. âThereâs this guy...âÂ
The typing is put to a halt and Stephanie slowly turns around to face you, jaw dropped. You have never been interested in boys before. You asked your parents to enroll you in an all-girls high school, thatâs how uninterested you were in them. Stephanie cannot believe her own ears. âSay that again.âÂ
âSteph... Please, itâs so embarrassing.â You hide your face in the plushie.Â
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry! Youâve just never been into guys like that before.â She sits next to you on her bed, wrapping an arm around your shoulders comfortingly. âWhatâs wrong? What happened?âÂ
âI told a guy I liked him and...â You canât even say it. Itâs too humiliating. âHe said I was too... âsweetâ.â You groan, wishing that the memory of your crush rejecting you dissipates from your mind.Â
âAnd whatâs wrong with that?â She rubs your back gently. Sheâs so comforting and warm, sometimes you wonder if all sisters come built like this. Â
You finally sit up straight and pout in her direction. She tilts her head with a consoling smile. Â
âNothingâs wrong with being sweet. Kindness is a strength and anyone would be lucky to have someone as kind as you are.â She gently places a hand on your cheek. âHe doesnât know what he passed on.âÂ
You feel like crying. She is one of the sweetest people you have ever met. She is the definition of perfection. You donât know what you did in your previous life to deserve a sister like her.Â
âItâs just...â You think for a second, biting your lips nervously. âI realize I donât think I even know how to approach guys. Can you teach me?âÂ
Your sisterâs brows rise in surprise. Â
âYouâve had boyfriends before and you have guy friends.â You try to explain the logic behind the thought. You watch her think for a bit, examining your pitiful state (you imagine but you know sheâs too sweet to think that of you). Â
Then, like the fairy godmother that she is, she perks up and agrees. Â
You have no idea what you just signed up for.Â
--------Â
Stephanie, or as her friends call her: Tiffany, invited you to come study with her and her friends at the library. You hadnât put too much thought into it. So, really, you should have expected this.Â
You were met with a room of four men and your sister. Sorry, you forgot to add a bit more context. You were met with four extremely attractive men. How your sister met all these guys. You have no clue. Â
âYou found it!â Your sister stands up excitedly, hands settling on your shoulders. âGuys, this is my sister, Y/N. Please take care of her as if she was your own.âÂ
She introduces you to them individually. Â
There was Minseok: the sports science major with fox-like eyes you wonder how many people have fallen in love with him just by staring into them, Yixing: the fine arts major who smiled sweetly at you before he went back to work, typing away on his laptop, Chanyeol: the music major with the loud voice and who was by far the friendliest and welcoming, and finally Junmyeon: the poli-sci major who immediately caught your eye â you couldnât tear your eyes off him.Â
You gulp nervously when Junmyeon smiles at you, his eyes look like they're shining. You werenât aware how beautifully handsome someone could be. You wonder if he and your sister have ever dated. You feel like they would be the picture-perfect couple.Â
âSit here.â Your sister sits you beside Chanyeol who is already beaming at you. Itâs kind of freaking you out. You cautiously take out your laptop and shoot him a nervous smile. Were all guys this friendly?Â
"You look terrified.â Chanyeol grins at you. Heâs right. You are. You have never been in the same room as these many guys before. âDonât worry, we donât bite.â He says before shooting you a comforting smile and putting his headphones back on. Â
Curiously, you peek a glance at his screen. Your mouth opens in amazement when you see a complex looking screen with a bunch of colourful bubbles that you donât think youâll ever quite understand. Chanyeol feels your stare and pauses his work. âDo you want to hear?â Â
You nod timidly. He smiles and puts the headphones over your ears. He presses play for you, biting on his lip in anticipation. Your eyes immediately widen in amazement. His voice was the perfect mix of smooth and raspy. Your ears couldnât believe what you were hearing. Â
âYou made that?â You canât tell if youâre yelling but Chanyeol is laughing at you and you canât help but smile back. Interacting with a man seems easy. He nods, shoulders shaking from laughing. âItâs really good!âÂ
Chanyeol loses his shit and throws his head back before taking the headphones off.Â
âSure, Chanyeol, destroy my sisterâs hearing.â Tiffany says sarcastically before she turns back to Junmyeon who laughs subtly through his nose. She listens intently to him as he gets serious again and explains a concept to her. You watch as his lips purse as he talks â pink and glossy, likely from the constant licking he was doing from talking so much. Your sister doesnât even look at him when he explains. Itâs blowing your mind. This is the first time you are seeing your sister do something wrong. Because Junmyeon looks absolutely stunning. You donât think you would even be able to concentrate if he was your tutor. You donât even notice that Chanyeol is asking you a question. Â
âHeâs handsome, huh?â Chanyeol leans in closer so only you could hear him. You jump in your seat and almost fall off when you see how close he is to you. He catches you before you fall.Â
âWhat did you think of my song? Itâs my final project.â He asks as if he didnât just catch you ogling his friend.Â
"I-It was really good!â You stutter like an idiot. You make the mistake of glancing at Junmyeon and your sister who are both staring at you with concern. Of course they are. Theyâre perfect people. Perfect people who check on the condition of others. Â
You avert your attention back to the comforting presence that is Chanyeol. Â
âOhh! Thank you! Iâm so glad you like it.â He cheers and grabs something from his pocket. âHere, have a candy.â Â
âAre you Pavlov-ing her to like your music?â Junmyeon finally talks loud enough for you to hear and your ears melt. His voice is soft but not in the way that makes him look weak, more in the way that makes people want to listen to what he has to say. But most importantly, you melt because heâs funny too.Â
âNo! She genuinely likes it. Right, Y/N? Youâre not lying to be polite?â Chanyeol looks at you expectantly, head tilted playfully with big eyes staring into you.Â
âN-No! I would never!â You shake your head quickly and turn to Junmyeon to show him that you do enjoy Chanyeolâs music. Â
When you do, your hearts races. Â
Heâs fully smiling at you, eyes crinkled into crescent moons, wrinkling the corners of his eyes beautifully. You donât think youâve ever seen someone smile so brightly like that before.Â
âIâm just teasing, Y/N.â He laughs it off before returning his attention to your sister.Â
The heavy feeling in your chest returns as you spend the entire study session sneaking glances at your sister and Junmyeon.Â
--------Â
Stephanieâs first step in her guidebook to getting familiar with men is a success. Sheâs happy to see that Chanyeol has made an impression on you. Â
âOh, hey Chanyeol. Whatâre you doing in my kitchen?â She asks in her pink silk set and matching fluffy pink slippers. She just woke up, yet she looks so put together.Â
âChanyeol and I are going to go for a run!â You exclaim, blender in hand. Â
âThat explains the headband.â She taps Chanyeolâs head teasingly before she clicks on the kettle to start boiling her water. Stephanie has a glass of warm water every morning, says itâs good for her metabolism and gut health. Â
Your sister takes care of her body with a fragility and femininity touch, focusing on what feels right for her body. You take care of your body by putting it through heavy lifting and tracking your macros.Â
Stephanie does pilates and spin while you powerlift and jog. Â
âThatâs good. You finally found a jogging buddy.â She scrunches her nose at you, booping it affectionately. âChanyeol, I didnât know you ran.âÂ
"Not as fast as Y/N.â He smiles in your direction as you pour your magic smoothie that boosts your energy before a run. He has a taste of the green coloured mix, still skeptical. You watch the light in his eyes return and his ears perk up realizing that you havenât poisoned him. âThis is delicious!â Â
Chanyeol chugs the rest of the drink while you giggle, pouring yourself a glass.Â
Stephanie stops the kettle midway as not to get to a boil and eyes you both as she drinks her warm water.Â
âHm...â She hums, small smile appearing on her lips. Â
âWhatâs so funny?â You raise an eyebrow in confusion.Â
âNothing.â Her grin doesnât get any smaller.Â
Weird.Â
--------Â
Stephanie had texted you that the group would be meeting at the same study room youâve all grown accustomed to. You arrive a lot earlier than the others, opting to study a bit more before you had to be in the same room as Junmyeon. You were in for another distracted session for sure.Â
You find a spot on the couch near the room thatâs still being used by other students. You check the time and pull the tiny coffee table closer to you and get settled. Thereâs still lots of time to get some work done. You manage to get a head start on your final essay at the end of the semester, drafting the structure and topics you want to highlight. Maybe you should do a bit more of the reading too. Â
A hand waves in your face, disturbing the current flow state you were in.Â
You raise your gaze at the culprit in annoyance, brows furrowed.Â
They quickly raise in surprise instead when you see Junmyeonâs bright smile directed at you. Your mouth is slightly agape. Your hand shakily moves your headphones from your ears, wrapping your neck instead. Itâs a bit hard to breathe when heâs looking at you so prettily. Â
âCan I sit with you?â Junmyeon gestures the empty spot next to you and you scooch a bit to make space.Â
âO-Of course! Come sit!â You feel like hitting yourself on the head. If Stephanie was here, she would 100% be giggling to herself with how ridiculous youâre acting around him. But how can you act normally when he smells like a fresh basket of laundry and his smile is bright enough to light the city? Â
âLooks like thereâs still people in there.â He makes small talk as he situates himself beside you. He gets comfortable in his seat. Heâs wearing the universityâs hoodie paired with baggy denim jeans. Itâs a simple outfit most people throw on lazily but on him, it looks curated and intentional like he was going for the college boyfriend look. You must be going crazy. Junmyeonâs chuckle breaks you from your reverie.Â
âSorry? I wasnât listening.âÂ
âI figured. I was asking what you were working on.â Heâs amused by you. You would too if someone acted a fool around you. Â
âOh.â You say, as if you couldnât believe he would be interested in what you were doing. âMy final essay for intro to psych. I was just drafting it. I figured Iâd start early so I donât rush it later.âÂ
âPsych?â He tilts his head. âI thought you were a Kinesiology major.â Â
Youâre surprised he knows this. Heâs never asked you this before. Stephanie probably told him when introducing you to the group.Â
âItâs just an elective my advisor suggested.â You shrug. It wasnât your first choice but you were growing to like it. Itâs just a course to get through the first semester. Â
âI took it my first semester too. Let me see.â He scoots closer to you and turns your laptop slightly to see your notes. The whole library probably heard the sharp breath you just took the second he got close to you. âRelax, Iâm not going to judge.âÂ
He scoffs at your reaction; the edge of his lip rising in amusement. You wonder if the library also hears how loud your heart is racing right now. Â
âColour-coded notes... Cute.â Â
Your hand flies to your mouth to cover the ridiculous smile growing on your face. Your cheeks were burning and hurting. You look around the library, anything other than Junmyeonâs unnecessarily perfect and smooth face and pursing lips as he concentrated to read your notes. Your eyes set sight on Chanyeol and you canât help but feel relief, letting go of the breath you were holding.Â
âChanyeol!â You exclaim, jumping up to greet him. He raises an arm for you and you give him a side hug.Â
âHey Y/N.â His smile eases the tension built in your chest. âHey Junmyeon. Were you guys studying together?âÂ
Junmyeon slowly leans away from your laptop and gives Chanyeol a small nod. âI was just looking at her notes.âÂ
âAh.â Chanyeol says, shifting his eyes between you two. âThe study roomâs empty if you guys want to move in there.âÂ
Junmyeon nods politely, closing your laptop. He grabs it and your backpack too. Â
âOh, you donât have to do that!â You reach to take your stuff from him but he pulls it slightly away, insisting.Â
âItâs right there, Y/N. I got it.â He reassures you with that warm smile of his.Â
If the library didnât hear your heart before, youâre sure theyâve heard it now.Â
--------Â
âI donât know about this, Steph...â You pull down on Stephanieâs skirt she lent you for this party.Â
âItâll be fun! Chanyeol will be there.â Your sister hooks an arm around yours excitedly. Sheâs like a puppy the way she yaps and jumps around you. Â
âOkay?â You raise an eyebrow at the mention of Chanyeol. You didnât want him to see you like this either.Â
âAll Iâm saying is this could be the perfect opportunity to practice how you flirt with guys.â She explains, dragging you to the front entrance where a line has already been formed to get in.Â
âItâs a frat house.â You say, scanning the crowd of beautiful women and attractive men. She is throwing you into the ocean and you canât even swim. Â
âTheyâre normal guys too, you know.â She senses your judgement.Â
âNo, theyâre not! They drink and party, probably do keg stands too!â You try to say it as lowly as possible as not to offend literally everyone here tonight. Â
âNot all of them.âÂ
âName one.âÂ
âJunmyeon.âÂ
âOh.âÂ
âTiffany! Y/N! Come inside!â Minseokâs voice disrupts the moment, waving for you both to come in. You hear a bunch of groans and complaints behind you that you will choose to ignore. Of course your sister had an in to this party. You just didnât know it would be because of the same boys you formed a study group with.Â
âJust try to have fun. If you feel uncomfortable, find me or Chanyeol.â Itâs the last thing she says before sheâs being dragged in all sorts of directions by different people. You donât even get the chance to respond. This is her second time mentioning Chanyeol. Did she like him or something?Â
The reminder sets off something in your head and youâre met with the realization that you really donât want to be here. Your skirt was way too short. There were too many people screaming, drinking and dancing. You just donât fit in. Â
You try scanning the crowd for Chanyeol but you donât find that giant head of his anywhere. Feeling hopeless, you go up the stairs. It might be a bit quieter there. Without thinking, you open the first door you see.Â
âOh, sorry!â You say when you see a pair of legs on a bed.Â
âY/N?âÂ
You freeze at the door then come to your senses when Junmyeon leans forward, guitar on his lap. He waves you in with a smile on his face. He removes his headphones and puts his guitar back on the stand. You enter, closing the door behind you.Â
âIâm sorry. I didnât know you were in here.â You apologize and sit at the edge of his bed, pulling on your skirt before it rides any further. His room is a bit messy which was not what you expected of him. He just seems like such a clean guy â he does smell like one after all. Â
There was a chair with a bunch of clothes on it. There were also a bunch of rock posters plastered on his walls: The Beatles and Coldplay for instance. You thought heâd be more into classical music or maybe musicals. Something classy. He is full of happy surprises.Â
âDonât worry about it.â He waves you off. He gets up from his bed and grabs a hoodie and sweatpants from the pile of clothes. âYou look uncomfortable. Do you want to borrow these?âÂ
Your heart races once again.Â
You nod and Junmyeon hands you his clothes before turning around to let you change. You wear the sweats over your crop top and skirt. It smells so ridiculously like him. You take one last sniff before sitting criss-cross on his bed, a lot more comfortable now. Â
âYou play guitar?â You try to avert your attention from the overwhelming feeling in your chest.Â
He turns around, hearing you get on his bed. Heâs staring at you with a glint in his eyes. His cheekbones pop out when he grabs the guitar again. Â
âYeah! Do you want to hear?â He sounds so excited to show you, grabbing the headphones and handing them to you. You smile and let him put them over your ears instead - his fingers brushing over your red ears. Youâre glad your hair is covering them.Â
âTell me if itâs too loud.âÂ
You nod, biting on your lip unconsciously. The more you got to know him, the more your attraction for him grew. He was different from your expectations in the best way possible.Â
He starts playing a beautiful riff. There is something about the electric guitar that makes it sound as sensual as it is romantic. You stop yourself from leaving your mouth agape, biting on your cheek nervously. Thereâs a pit growing in your stomach that youâve only ever felt once in your life when you read a explicit book for the first time. You avoid eye contact with him when he stops.Â
âWas that bad? You didnât seem to like it.â Junmyeonâs smile is present, but his brows show you that he seems a bit embarrassed. Â
"No!!â You shake your head vigorously and finally meet his eyes. Itâs taking a lot in you not to cry, finding it frustrating that you donât know how to be comfortable around him. âIt was genuinely beautiful. Iâve never heard that song before.âÂ
âOh, thank you. I wrote it.â He tells you casually.Â
This man canât be real. Â
âYou wrote that? Youâre so talented! Why arenât you in music with Chanyeol?â You ask in disbelief. He shrugs, leaning forward to help you take off the headphones.Â
âItâs just a hobby. I want to be a lawyer.â He places the blue strat back on the stand next to his bed and leans against the headboard. The image is a bit too much for you. Seeing him in an oversized t-shirt and pyjama pants feels too intimate. You stare into his eyes, distracting yourself from how good he looks sprawled out on his bed.Â
âOhh, well I think youâre really gifted.â You compliment him one more time. âWhat other hidden talents do you have?âÂ
He laughs, his eyes smiling at you brightly once again. âYouâre cute.â Â
You swoon. Youâre shocked you havenât fallen off his bed over that comment.Â
Maybe itâs because making him laugh feels like one of your greatest accomplishments. You hope you can make him laugh over and over again so you can hear that beautiful sound nonstop.Â
âJust the one. What about you? Can you play?â Â
âNo, no. I only listen to music. I canât make it.â You wave your hands embarrassingly. You donât really have hobbies, unless you count the gym as one.Â
âSure you can. Here, Iâll show you.â He moves off the bed and nudges you to turn your body to the left. You follow, letting your legs fall off the bed. He places the guitar on your lap and crouches in front of you. His fingers wrap around your wrist and places them on the neck. Â
âRelax your fingers.â He taps twice on your knuckles and for the first time tonight, he eases your tension even with the next thing he says. âGood girl.âÂ
He does all the work, placing your three fingers on three strings in a row. Thereâs something so calming with the way he touches you. Heâs being so gentle with you.Â
âStrum.â Â
You listen to him, strumming the guitar with your thumb like you see musicians do all the time. Youâre shocked to hear a cohesive sound. Â
âWoah.âÂ
âNot bad, right?â He beams as he looks up at you with those dark and glossy eyes. Youâll probably dream of them tonight.Â
âNo. It was really fun-âÂ
âJunmyeon, have you seen-âÂ
Your head turns to see Chanyeol at the door, holding onto the doorknob. He blinks once, twice, before saying something.Â
â... Y/N.â He finishes his sentence with a blank stare. Youâve never seen him like this before. Chanyeol was always so perky and happy to see you.Â
âHey Chanyeol! Junmyeon was just teaching me a chord.â You say innocently, not putting too much thought into it. Junmyeon stands up from the ground and thatâs when you see Chanyeolâs eyes widen ever so slightly. Â
âYouâre wearing his clothes.â He says, completely ignoring what you just said.Â
âShe looked uncomfortable, so I lent her some clothes. I hope thatâs okay.â Junmyeon clears up any misunderstanding for you.Â
âOf course itâs okay.â Chanyeolâs usual tone and facial expression returns. âYour sister is looking for you.âÂ
âAh.â You try to put the strat back on the stand but Junmyeon grabs it for you. âThank you for spending time with me, Junmyeon.â Â
âNo, thank you. Good night, Y/N.â Â
You shoot him one last smile before disappearing behind the door and back into the loud party with Chanyeol. Your heart is still in disbelief of what just happened.Â
Chanyeol escorts you to the kitchen where Stephanie is talking to some other friends. She finally sees you by Chanyeolâs side and tilts her head curiously with a sly smile. You wonder what sheâs up to with that mischievous grin on her face.Â
âHi Y/N~â She says with a little playful tone. She must be tipsy. She suddenly looks up at Chanyeol with the brightest smile. âThanks, Chanyeol, for bringing my sister to me~â Â
âItâs no problem.â He replies, tone still a bit different than youâre used to.Â
Stephanie hooks her arm around yours with the same cheeky grin sheâs been sporting since you got here.Â
âIâm so happy for you!â She randomly squeals in your ear, making you laugh at how silly sheâs being. Â
âHappy for what?â You indulge her, just happy that sheâs happy.Â
âCome on, youâre wearing Chan-âÂ
âSHOTS!!â Yixing comes out of nowhere with a tray full of tiny cups and shoves them in our faces. Your sister grabs two: one for her and another for presumably you. She doesnât say much, only winking at you and downing the drink.Â
You follow her lead and immediately gag at the awful taste and burn in your throat.Â
You wish you could sneak back into Junmyeonâs room and learn the guitar just a bit longer.Â
--------Â
You canât stop thinking about Junmyeon. Even as youâre highlighting notes in your textbook, you donât halt your thoughts for a second. The way his fingers were delicately touching yours. The way he smiled when you complimented his song. And the way he noticed immediately how uncomfortable you were in Stephanieâs clothes. Junmyeon was making it insanely hard to get over this silly crush on him.Â
âY/N.â Chanyeol calls your name and your bubble bursts. He smiles when he sees you come back down to Earth. âI wanted to talk to you about something.âÂ
âSure.â You say, adding the cap back on the highlighter and put all your attention onto him.Â
âItâs a bit out there. And I hope this doesnât affect our friendship.â Chanyeol looks really nervous. Heâs rubbing his pen with his thumb and you can feel his leg shaking under the table.Â
âIt wonât. I canât afford to lose a jogging buddy.â You joke, taking a sip from your bottle.Â
âI just want to make sure Iâm not reading this wrong. But do you like Junmyeon?âÂ
Caught off guard, you choke on your drink. You tap your chest to clear the liquid from your throat. Chanyeol also helps, patting your back.Â
âW-What- How did you?âÂ
âYouâve liked him since the day we all met, right?â Chanyeol cuts you off. Heâs looking at you expectantly like heâs being a good cop and youâre the criminal heâs interrogating. âI can tell by the way you look at him. And Iâm saying this to you as a friend who wants to give you advice - which you can take or not of course.âÂ
You didnât know you were being that obvious around Junmyeon.Â
âYou should tell him how you feel.â Chanyeolâs eyes soften and he looks... sad? He isnât - hasnât been his usual jolly self since the party and youâre unsure why.Â
âBut what if he rejects me? Like the other guy? Iâm so scared, Chanyeol.â Your gaze lowers to your hands on your lap. This is embarrassing. Chanyeol was able to read you at first glance and you were still stuck in square one, unable to talk to your crush without dysfunctioning and having your heart jump out of your chest.Â
âYou wonât know how he feels until you tell him. You have to tell people how you feel when you feel them, Y/N.â He stops and thinks for a second before resuming. âOtherwise... You might miss out on other opportunities.â Â
âI canât even be myself with him. I get so nervous and jittery. Iâm not ready.â Your head falls onto your textbook in embarrassment. âI just want to be as calm with him as I am with you.âÂ
Chanyeol scoffs and makes you turn your head so your cheek was on a page and you were facing him instead. Â
âI promise you youâll get there with time. Thatâs just what having a crush feels like.â He pats your head gently and smiles at you comfortingly. You could always count on him to cheer you up. Â
You straighten yourself and go for a hug. âThank you so much Chanyeol.â Â
It takes him a second before wrapping his arms around you tightly. His head rests at the top of your head while his hand rubs your back. Â
âDonât mention it.âÂ
The hug is cut short when you hear the door to the study room open.Â
âOh, sorry we didnât mean to interrupt.â Stephanie comes in with the same twinkle in her eye as that time at the party. Junmyeon is right behind her. He shoots you a faint smile before shifting his eyes to the floor, not even greeting you or Chanyeol with enthusiasm like he usually does.Â
Did you offend him somehow?Â
Maybe you accidentally said something at the party. You think hard to that night. But nothing comes to mind. You thought Junmyeon and you had a really good time for the short time you were together.Â
You purse your lips, trying not to let it get to you. What if you missed the window of opportunity like Chanyeol warned you?Â
âOh shoot. I forgot my textbook in my locker. Iâll be right back.â Stephanie says as she rummages through her purse. âItâs so far thoughâŠâÂ
âIâll walk with you.â Chanyeol stands up and follows your sister out the door, passing you with a comforting pat on your back. You exhale as you realize what heâs doing.Â
Your eyes follow Junmyeon as he sits in his usual spot across from you. Heâs still quiet, refusing to look at you.Â
A thought crosses your mind.Â
âUm, JunmyeonâŠâ Â
He lifts his head instinctively, finally meeting your eyes. You can tell heâs silently regretting it. Thereâs a gloomy look in his gaze and you really want to make him feel better.Â
âI just wanted to thank you for lending me your clothes on Friday. It was really nice of you.â You clear your throat to calm the nerves. Somehow youâve convinced yourself that the reason he wonât reply and probably hates you is because you havenât returned his clothes yet. âI promise Iâll get them back to you. I just wanted to wash them first.âÂ
âThereâs no need for that.â Junmyeonâs smile returns but itâs too polite⊠too nice. It doesnât feel like him. His genuine smile is contagious and warm, not cold and foreign. His gaze goes back to his laptop as yours donât leave his form.Â
Youâre pouting now. This somehow feels worse than the first time you got rejected. Probably because you actually know the guy this time.Â
You have to tell people how you feel when you feel them.Â
âJunmyeon!â Â
His eyes widen and heâs staring at you all freaked out. You donât think youâve ever raised your voice at anyone before.Â
âI- I-â The confidence is quick to fade away but you have to keep going. âI like you. And Iâm sorry if Iâve offended you somehow but I thought we got along really well on Friday and- and whatever it is you have a problem with, please tell me now because Iâm going crazy here.âÂ
Junmyeon stares at you in what you think is a look of disbelief. Â
âOr donât. Please ignore what I said.â You sit back down and focus on your laptop, moving your cursor all over your screen, not necessarily clicking on anything.Â
âYou like me?â He breaks the silence, lips curving into a smile.Â
But itâs quick to leave his face. And thereâs a pit growing in your stomach.Â
âYes.â You say nervously, biting on your lip. It feels like an eternity waiting for him to say anything else. Heâs thinking really hard, you can tell by the way he purses his lips. The face is all too familiar. Itâs the same face your first crush had when he was rejecting you. You want to bury yourself under a bunch of sand and let the ocean take you out with a big wave. âI-Itâs okay if you donât feel the same. I wonât take it personally-âÂ
âWait, no.â Junmyeonâs eyes shift to you then to the door. âUm, come.âÂ
Before you knew it, Junmyeon grabs your wrist and pulls you up and out of the study room, leaving all your belongings behind.Â
âMy laptop...â You pout as he brings you to one of the empty aisles of the library.Â
âTheyâll be back soon. Donât worry.â Junmyeon comforts you but itâs not enough to ease the anxiety thatâs blown out of proportion inside of you. You just want to shake out the rejection from his mouth. He brought you here so you wouldnât be embarrassed in front of your friends. That must be it. Youâre Stephanieâs inexperienced younger sister, of course he wouldnât want you-Â
âListen,â He starts and you hold your breath. âYouâre really nice and sweet.âÂ
Here it comes.Â
âI just... want you to think about this a little bit more. Weâve only known each other for a couple of weeks. Youâre just getting over a different guy. I donât want to rush into things so quickly...â He says a bit too fast, like heâs trying to get rid of the words and get this over with. Heâs looking at you with a softened gaze like heâs handling a dried bouquet of flowers and trying not to make a mess before he throws it into the trash. Â
âOh, no worries. I get it.â You wave him off like itâs no big deal; the sting in your eyes burning extra hard. The shake in your voice isnât hard to ignore either. âIâm sorry for making things weird.âÂ
âY/N... Wait, thatâs not-â He tries to reach for you but you retreat first. Â
âNo, really, itâs okay.â You force a smile before turning back and rushing to the study room. The tears come out a lot easier than it is to stop them.Â
You open the door and are met with four pairs of eyes staring at you.Â
Stephanie is the first to get up and check on you. You dodge her and grab your things, slinging your bag onto your shoulder before you head to the door.Â
âY/N? Whatâs wrong? Whereâs Junmyeon?â You hear Chanyeolâs voice behind you and his chair screech to check on you too. Overwhelmed, you leave the room and head anywhere else.Â
âY/N, slow down.â Your sister is quick to follow you. Sheâs always been fast to be by your side. You donât slow your pace though, walking even faster so she doesnât see the tears running down your face.Â
So she follows. Sheâs with you the only way youâre letting her.Â
She trails behind you when you finally walk out the doors of the university and stop, unsure where to go next. She places a hand on your back and pulls you in for a side hug.Â
âCome, my carâs this way.â She says, pulling you in the direction of her parking spot. Itâs not a far walk but itâs enough to calm you down from the heightened emotions.Â
âTell me whatâs wrong, Y/N. So I can help you.â She asks when you finally get inside her car, giving you a moment to settle your breath before speaking.Â
Stephanieâs voice is filled with warmth and comfort. She feels like the sun and you canât help but look her way.Â
âI confessed to my crush.â You tell her shyly. âAnd he rejected me. Again.âÂ
You canât believe you let this happen again.Â
She frowns.Â
âBut you came in crying and Chanyeol was in the room.âÂ
Itâs your turn to raise your eyebrow at her. Â
âWhat do you mean by that?â You ask, unsure what sheâs hinting at.Â
âYour crush? Isnât it Chanyeol?â She asks like youâre the one who is lost.Â
You blink at her, once, twice.Â
ââŠÂ Junmyeon. I told Junmyeon I like him and he rejected me.âÂ
You can see the horror flash in Stephanieâs eyes and she covers her mouth.Â
âWhat?â You ask, mirroring her reaction. âWhyâs this so hard to believe?âÂ
âIâveâŠÂ Iâve been telling Junmyeon how youâve been crushing on ChanyeolâŠâ She says quietly, voice low and ashamed of what sheâs done. You frown. When have you ever told her you were into Chanyeol? Â
Youâre just getting over a different guy. Suhoâs voice rings in the back of your mind. And that sentence finally starts to make sense to you. You thought he was talking about the first guy who you were definitely over.Â
âY/N⊠I am so sorry. I can fix this!â Stephanie immediately goes on her phone and starts typing on her phone.Â
âSteph, what are you doing?â You watch as she nervously types, erases, types and erases.Â
âIâm texting Junmyeon right now.â She says frantically. Youâve never seen your sister so stressed out before.Â
âWhat? Why?â You take her phone and delete the message. âHe doesnât like me! That's not going to change.âÂ
She steals her phone back and puts it away on her lap.Â
âNo, Y/N, I think he does.â She deadpans.Â
âI was so fixated on you and Chanyeol. I didnât put two and two together that you would be interested in Junmyeon. Oh god, I think I made a mess.â She continues. Her face is mixed with embarrassment and an eagerness to share her new-found revelation. âBut Junmyeon definitely likes you.âÂ
You donât even know how to respond to her. She must have lost her mind. As if she sees the confusion on your face, she persists.Â
âHeâs always asking about you.â She insists.Â
âStop lying. Heâs just being nice.âÂ
âNo, before I introduced you to the guys, heâs never once asked how my sister was, what your major was, what your schedule was or if we were meeting with you and the study group - even though Iâm pretty sure youâre very comfortable talking to the opposite sex now and the study group is very much not needed anymore.â Stephanie looks very serious and⊠convincing. You canât tell if this is just Stephanieâs communications bachelorâs talking. Â
âY/N, how exactly did he reject you?âÂ
You fold your lips into your mouth nervously.Â
Now that you think of itâŠÂ You canât remember the exact words. Â
It felt like a rejection.Â
Stephanie sees the hesitation in your face and for the first time, you see your sister get annoyed with you.Â
âWeâre fixing this.âÂ
--------Â
Stephanie has you pacing back and forth in front of Junmyeonâs fraternity house. She had dropped you off under the premise that you were going to a cute coffee shop to study for the upcoming midterms. Â
Itâs been 15 minutes and she still hasnât returned. She really did abandon you at the front steps like some stray cat. You feel your stomach turn as you approach the door. With a big gulp, you ring the doorbell.Â
You release the tension from your shoulder when Minseok opens the door with a bright smile.Â
âY/N! Tiffany said youâd be stopping by.â Â
Your shoulders tense up again. You hope she didnât tell them anything. Although, they did see you walk into the room with tears in your eyes. It would be weird if they hadnât figured it out on their own.Â
âJunmyeonâs the first to the right.â He invites you in and throws a hand in the direction of the familiar room. So he does know. Great.Â
âHe hasnât really talked to any of us about what happened. Just been cooped up in his room playing the guitar.â Minseok pats you on the back and lead you to the stairs. âJust talk to him.âÂ
You nod and find your way up the stairs that brought you to him the first time. You open the door to find him in the same position, legs straight on the bed, his cute feet covered in socks and moving to the rhythm of his music. You peek your head through to let yourself be seen but find his eyes closed and headphones on. Unsure how to approach this, you shut the door a little harder than you would usually. Â
He doesnât budge, still strumming along the blue strat. Â
You bite your bottom lip and do the unthinkable.Â
You tickle his foot.Â
Junmyeon almost kicks you, eyes wide in surprise. Once it registers that itâs you, his body relaxes and he rushes to take off his headphones. Â
âIâm so sorry! Did I hurt you?â He comes to your side and inspects you for any damage he might have done. Â
âYou didnât even touch me.â You reassure him, offering him a small smile. You donât let him say another word before you let yourself ramble.Â
âJunmyeon, I came to say Iâm sorry for the way I reacted. I rushed out of there and didnât let you finish. I really do enjoy spending time with you and I hope that we can still stay friends. And maybe you can still teach me the guitar?â You finally say the words you had been practicing in your head this whole week. The heavy weight on your chest has finally been lifted and your conscience is now cleared. Itâs now up to Junmyeon to accept being your friend. You wait for him to smile and say no worries, letâs just forget alllll about it. And you can try to move on from his beautiful brown eyes that disappear when he smiles.Â
âBut I donât want to be friends.â He frowns.Â
And the heavy feeling returns. Â
âOh.âÂ
âNo, no.â He approaches you, hands reaching your sides awkwardly as if he didnât want you to run off in tears again. âPlease donât misunderstand. I like you. Like, really really like you.âÂ
âOh.â You were so ready for him to reject you kindly that this didnât feel like an actual option. You didnât think Stephanie would be right, but of course she was. Itâs Stephanie.Â
âPlease stop saying oh.â He bites onto his lip nervously, almost looking like heâll cry right then and there.Â
âIâm sorry. Iâm just having such a hard time believing any of this is real. But thatâs my problem not yours.â You say, backing away from his hold.Â
Junmyeon pulls you in for the hug, wrapping his arms around you and refusing to let you run away again. It takes you a couple seconds to react but you snake your arms around once youâve come to your senses that Kim Junmyeon is hugging you. You rest your cheek against his chest and you smell the familiar scent of his laundry youâve grown addicted to. You feel his every tense muscle soften around your body.Â
âIâve liked you ever since you walked into that study room looking all nervous to meet a bunch of guys. To be honest, when Stephanie first approached me, I thought it was a bit weird. We had only been study partners, and suddenly, she wants me to help her with her inexperienced sister.â He pulls away a bit so he can look at you as he confesses to you how he feels. Your heart stops when his lips curve into a smile and he laughs at the memory of Stephanie being Stephanie and doing the most to help you.Â
âBut when you were yelling at Chanyeol with those headphones on, I was hooked. You looked so cute. I couldnât wait to talk to you. I wanted to know more. Iâve never felt so curious about a person before.â He admits, resting a gentle hand on your cheek. âI couldnât understand how someone so cute could ever get rejected.âÂ
You gulp when his eyes flicker to your lips. Â
âCute.â He mutters to himself before kissing your cheek and making your face unintentionally burn up. âSo no, I donât want to be just friends with you, but I would love nothing more than to take you out on a date and take our time getting to know one another.âÂ
Your heart races at an impossible speed.Â
âAnd maybe guitar lessons?â You manage to mutter out like an idiot.Â
Junmyeonâs smile quickly morphs into the one you love so much, brightening the room and warming your heart.Â
âMaybe.âÂ
Unable to contain your happiness, you return the smile and give him a quick peck on his lips.Â
âWell, itâs a definitely, now.â

You'll know his anger immediately because he will have this expression on his face and do the tongue thing and the eye stare. His anger level will depend on why he's mad and who he's mad at. If he's mad at you, he will be so petty and passive-aggressive, giving you short answers or a burly acknowledgment. If he's mad at something work-related, it's best to let him cool off and not try to make him more angry than he already is, but if he's mad because of a fan, then you'd better figure out a way to help him and calm him down because his your boyfriend and his mad at you.
Xiumin:
When Minseok is angry, it can be either of two ways. Either he is extremely quiet, but you can feel his anger, or he is talking and being so passive-aggressive. He would try to keep his anger in check and would try to spend time alone to calm down so he doesn't lash out at you or anyone else. His way to calm down would be a cleaning session around the house to keep his mind off things and to calm down, so you'd better expect a few hours of him cleaning and you better help.
Yixing:
He rarely ever gets angry, but when he does, you can tell by his facial expression, though he is always so sweet and nice, and even when angry, he will try to be nice and stay calm. He would take some time for himself to calm down, but he will never lash out at you or anyone because he's a sweetheart.
Baekhyun:
When he is angry, it will be shown in his eyes. His once soft puppy eyes are now replaced with a pissed-off look; he would be quiet, but his eyes say it all. He might act like his not be mad at you, but you might as well be careful around him. When he is angry at you, he will scold you and tell you what you did to get him angry, but after a while, he will calm down and will expect you to apologize.
Chanyeol:
When he's angry, it means you'd better get on your knees and beg for forgiveness. He will start to frown at you from across the room; his tall figure and angry look will intimidate you. He won't say a word to you; he will just stare down at you, making sure you know he's angry and that it will take more than an âI'm sorryâ to get on his good side, and even if you do, he will remind you what you did to get him pissed off.
Kyungsoo:
Run and hide and pray he doesn't catch you. This man will be so salty about whatever he's mad at; he will let you know his angry stare will get you, and he will complain. He will not hold back, and if you did something to piss him off, he will tell you exactly what you did, and if you try to apologize, he will cut you off, making sure his point came across and that you need to truly mean your apology.
Jongin:
This sweet baby will be so angry that he might cry; he will give you the silent treatment and ignore you when you try to talk to him. He will always walk away in the other direction when he sees you; he won't raise his voice, he won't try to talk, he will just avoid you and pretend you're not there. If his talking on the phone, he will make a passive-aggressive comment about you just so you know you have pissed him off, and to get on his good side, it will take cornering him and forcing him to listen to you, but you better have a good apology because he won't settle for the bare minimum.
Sehun:
He will be extra salty and will literally talk shit about you to his best friend Junmyeon right in front of you so you'll know you pissed him off and will also be so dramatic and tell everyone about how ungrateful you are for making him angry and might exaggerate when telling people why he's mad to make himself look like he's innocent.
