i. Hendery
Hendery is the first to know Kun is dating because although he is loud and boisterous, he is also incredibly observant. He notices that Kun starts checking and smiling at his phone more often. He catches him talking on the phone and sneaking out at night when everyone is supposed to be asleep. And Hendery, although the second youngest in the group, decides that detective Kunhang is on the case.
It’s during one of their rare off days that he finds Kun leaving the house in suspiciously nicer-than-usual clothes, one hand on the door handle and using the other to text someone.
“Where are you going?” Hendery asks innocently. “Are you going to the store? Because if you are, can you get cereal? Xiaojun finished the last of it this morning, and I’m pretty sure he also finished the milk.”
It takes so much self control for Kun to not roll his eyes when telling Hendery he’ll stop by the store later. Just as he turns to leave, Hendery asks, “So where are you going?” For a few silent moments, Hendery can see the gears in Kun’s head turning and feels satisfied when he successfully determines the reason for his leader’s outing before he can come up with an excuse.
Before he can continue arousing suspicion, Kun slips out the door while yelling a quick “None of your business!”
It’s only after he’s left that Hendery pours himself a bowl of cereal, feeling like the cat that caught the canary.
ii. Xiaojun
Xiaojun finds out that Kun is dating someone when they have a songwriting session and Kun keeps turning every song into a love song. Xiaojun keeps batting around the idea of a diss track and all Kun can think of is remedying his songs into love songs, and honestly? Xiaojun is this close to losing it.
“I can do it on my own, I don’t need you in my zone,” Xiaojun says aloud, while strumming his guitar.
“But baby you can take me home,” Kun mumbles. He smiles a little at the thought of you giving him that same line on your first date but Xiaojun could care less about context as he glares at him.
“Kun,” he states plainly, getting only a hum in response. “Focus please. This is supposed to be a diss track, not a weird sexy power trip, or whatever the fuck you’re trying to turn it into. If I wanted that I would have just gone to YangYang.”
iii. YangYang
YangYang realizes Kun is dating someone when he gets home earlier than everyone else and gets the shock of his life. He always teases Kun for dying old and alone because Kun never shows interest in anyone, or if he does, then he lets his chance go by. But evidently that’s not the case when YangYang walks into their shared room and sees Kun making out with you while his hand disappears up your shirt and your legs wrapped around his waist. YangYang’s scream startles Kun out of his lust and he groans once the situation sets in.
It didn’t start out like this. You had come over because Kun finally had a less busy schedule and he just wanted to nap with you while everyone else was out. But then neither of you could sleep so he put on some random movie on Netflix which was awful and you had suggested other, more efficient methods, to tire yourselves out.
“I’m sorry,” he says against your neck. You snort at the feeling of his breath tickling you and the situation itself. You both figured you would eventually have to meet his members but none of you thought it would be like this.
YangYang reappears, with a hand covering his eyes as he loudly states that he’s “just here to grab his computer” and Kun, ever the gentleman, throws a pillow at YangYang as hard as he can while shielding you and yelling at him to hurry up and leave. YangYang leaves with his laptop but not before loudly telling Kun that there are condoms in WinWin’s bed storage.
iv. WinWin
Unlike YangYang, Winwin realizes Kun is dating someone when he stops himself from walking in on a moment he shouldn’t witness. He sees how hard Kun works for everything and they all worry for him sometimes but Kun will never admit when he’s having a hard time, so when he walks in on Kun and you having an intimate moment he can’t help but listen.
“Kun, this is the fourth all nighter you’ve pulled this week. You’re really concerning me right now.”
“I promise it’s nothing bad! I just want these to be perfect.”
Once again, you find your boyfriend in the “studio”, which is really just the third bedroom in their dorm that houses the shared desktop and the groups collective instruments and music gadgets. It wasn’t complete until Kun and Xiaojun added a little mic set up. Somehow, the fact that you’re here and telling him off about his poor life choices makes him feel complete and even more at home in his favourite place.
“You say that about everything, Kun, but I think instead of perfection you just need sleep,” you say as you run your thumbs over his cheeks.
He leans into your touch instinctively and mumbles out, “All I need is you,” before attempting to pull you by the shirt you’re wearing (which is technically his) and onto his lap. It’s at this point that WinWin shuts the door lightly and decides that he can just eat Ten’s leftover pizza instead.
v. Ten
Ten realizes Kun is dating someone when Kun asks him for jewelry advice over dinner.
“Do you think this ring looks better in silver or gold?” He asks Ten while holding up his phone. The ring itself is quite pretty; a simple thin band with the two sides joining at the peak of a triangle.
“Gold. Why are you looking at rings?” Ten asks with no hesitation. Kun falters a bit but simply shrugs and says it was an ad on Weibo. Ten knows full well of his mysterious rendezvous that happen at night when Kun thinks they’re all asleep. He also got told by YangYang about the time he walked in on Kun having sex which confirmed his thoughts. When it comes to Ten, they don't call him the mad hatter for no reason. After all, he only gets the finest tea.
"So who are they?" he asks after a moment of comfortable silence. Anyone would be able to tell that the atmosphere in the room became stuffier, and not just because Kun choked on his food.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"So you’re telling me YangYang didn’t walk in on you having sex a few weeks ago?" Ten smirks like the cheshire cat when Kun looks at him all wide eyed and ready to kill him.
"Wh- I- No- It wasn’t-” is the only attempted rebuttal Kun can come up with. Ten can’t help but coo at him when he flushes a deep red out of embarrassment and shyness. “I’d rather forget about that moment,” he mumbles.
“How long have you guys been a thing for?” Ten questions.
“Eight months,” he quietly replies, but Ten can see the corners of his mouth twitching upwards as he overstuffs his mouth with rice.
“Wow. That’s... really impressive.”
“Dating someone?” Kun asks, weirded out by the response.
“No, I mean you managing to keep it a secret from us for that long.”
i. WayV
With the amount of time that Kun spends guarding his phone, the sex incident, and the sneaking out, Kun never really was that subtle. Every time he got confronted without you, he would recount the events over a multitude of text messages that never failed to make you laugh. It’s after the events of his dinner with Ten that he suggests actually meeting the members. Officially meeting the members.
One lazy Sunday is when Kun invites you over for a family dinner, WayV style, that the boys descend upon you like vultures. You can feel the inquisitiveness radiating off of them in waves, but more importantly, you can see Kun start to shoo them away like the mom he is.
“How did you meet?” “Does he nag you like he nags the rest of us?” “Are you sure you like him?” are only some of the questions you receive. Kun tries to say something about scaring you with too many questions but you’ve already started to answer the most important one while looking him straight in the eyes.
alternatively known as: the one where jackson reconnects with a childhood friend when they compete in the winter olympics
pairing: jackson x figure skater!reader
genres/AUs: childhood friends to lovers, idiots to lovers, sports!au, fluff, angst, brother’s best friend!au
warnings: lots of about diets, weight, body image!!
a/n: I wanted to write this au for sO long and was actually about to scrap it until Jackson did that video introducing the Tokyo Olympics and then I was like ‘well now I kind of have to do it because the universe literally gave me a sign’ so uh?? also this is a figure skating!au because I used to competitively figure skate and was always petty that my country wasn’t a part of the FSU so I could never make it to an olympic level (I tried to make this as understandable as possible but made a glossary post just in case, which you can find here!!)
anyone who has ever remotely been interested in Jackson Wang knows he’s an athletic guy ok it’s not hard to tell
his mom was a national level gymnast and his dad was competitive fencer, the man practically grew up breathing sports
he took after his dad and got into fencing and was basically going to be an olympic fencer at the 2012 london olympics if he didn’t join JYPE when he did
this ain’t news people
what IS news, is that Beijing is hosting the 2022 winter olympic games
you wanna know what the winter olympic games and Jackson Wang have in common??
you
you’ve known jackson since you were a kid, but not because y’all were neighbours or whatever maybe you were what do I know
you knew him because he was your brother’s closest friend when they met at the Junior Olympics in 2010
your brother and jackson hung out a lot when they weren’t practicing or competing, which was fun because you got to hang out too since you were a snow bird
and sure, your brother probably found hanging out with his younger sibling a little annoying but it was fun being your own little trio!!
why am I thinking jackson’s mom called you guys the three musketeers hehe
but while jackson used to stab people for fun, you preferred to make them dizzy
yes you read that right
anyway the point I’m trying to make is that you were a figure skater and did winter sports so you got to see your brother (and consequently, jackson) whoop some butt as teenage [summer] olympians ooooo
but it’s been twelve years since then, and life happens
Jackson moved to south korea two years later to became part of one of the biggest boy bands on the planet, started a solo career and company at the age of 23, hopefully got a new plant
Your brother got married to his s/o from college, decided he would rather help younger kids achieve their dreams and started a sports academy
and you... you felt like the only person in your trio who still had an itch to scratch, and BOY were you ready to relieve that itch
if it hadn’t been for an ill-timed ankle injury you probably would have made it onto your country’s skating team and actually tried to meet Jackson in Pyeongchang
and he certainly wasn’t subtle about it when asking your brother
“please tell me your sibling hasn’t retired” “why” “because south korea just won the bid to host the winter olympics in 2018″
and jackson was absolutely crushed when the news came out that you couldn’t even compete in the qualifiers for the olympics because of a stupid stage two fracture
so much so that one time jackson couldn’t perform Crash & Burn without almost crying because he remembers how when it came out you said that given the opportunity you would want to use it in a competition and make him as proud as he had made you
but when he found out the next winter games were in Beijing?? he went n u t s
“heyyyy~~” “what” “did u know that u absolutely have to make it to the next olympics” “I mean yes that would be my job but why are you telling me this??” “IT’S BEING HOSTED IN BEIJING” “jackson this isn’t new information” “YOU KNEW?????”
And this goes on for the entirety of the four years between pyeongchang and Beijing because Jackson has no sense of shame or personal space
“Drink my protein smoothie before you start today!!” “Please tell me you stretched properly before attempting any jumps” “what kind of outfits are you wearing for your routines” “bambam wants to know if he can pick your outfit but I said no” “do you want me to pick you up from the airport when you arrive? I’ll bring you food since you’ll be hungry” “how many spins can you do in a row without getting dizzy bc I said you could do 8 and mark said he’d buy me food if I could get proof”
The epitome of the meme that’s like “he a lil confused but he got the spirit”
Even your brother is like “dude you’ve got it bad” and Jackson, who isn’t perceptive to his own feelings whatsoever, is like “I’m just encouraging them to do their best!!”
But as much as Jackson’s constant texting is annoying, some days it’s the only thing that keeps you fighting
His little reminders to “eat this it’s good for your bones” or “drink water so you don’t almost pass out like you did at worlds that one time” keep you smiling and on track
Because as much as you want to win gold, you really want to see Jackson in person again
So you push through and ultimately it does pay off because you manage to make it onto your representative team!!
And without fail Jackson starts losing his mind, both privately and publicly
He sets google alerts for figure skating news, posts about his favourite routines you’ve done, he even manages to find old photos of the three of you and you basically have to yell at him to not post them
“Jackson please I look awful” “shut up you were so cute what even happened to you” “HEY” “I’m just kidding! OH I know I’ll ask my mom if she has-“ “WANG JIA ER” “oKAy fINE”
It’s actually quite cute
And when you finally start looking into logistics of when to book your tickets for, Jackson tries everything in his power to get you to stay a few nights longer than the ceremony
“Jackson I can’t stay, worlds is less than a month after the closing ceremony” “I’ll buy you fried chicken” “I can’t eat fried chicken it has too many calories” “ok fine we’ll get Peking duck” “Jackson” “final offer: Peking duck, a box of fēnggāo, and my mom’s jiǎozǐ” “if I get to see your mom too I’ll do it” “you think you’d come to china and get away with not seeing her?” “Fair point”
the media is EATING these cute interactions up, and the amount of fan edits you find are surprisingly high
like they’re very obviously moments taken out of context but it’s adorable how excited people are for you two
and when you do touch down in Beijing and get through immigration, your manager has to pull you through a different exit so you can avoid the crazy paparazzi and questions
you and your teammates settle into your olympic house and you get to know the other sport competitors and it’s somehow worse than the paparazzi because you can’t avoid your teammates when they ask you about jackson
especially when you come up short to questions like “oh do you like him~~” and everyone loses their shit
and when the games actually start it only gets worse
mainly because you start receiving exclusive packages from Team Wang
it just weighs on you that yeah, maybe you do like him but you can’t
you’re one of his best friend’s younger sibling, it would be weird and break the bro code
your brother is in a group chat with both yours & jackson’s moms like “I’ve been trying to set them up since 2018 idk how they haven’t noticed yet”
and the night before your first event, jackson facetimes you to cheer you on “in person”
“look at you!! the olympic figure skater to watch out for, a shoe in for the gold!! ass kicker extraordinaire!!” “jackson omg please calm yourself” “no thank you :^)”
you can hear your coach snicker from one of the other rooms and your only thought is ‘this is why the entire world thinks we’re dating smh’
but he can tell the pressure is getting to you because you’re kind of spacing out and not really answering him
so he acts like everything is fine before telling you to be ready
“hey, do me a favour and be ready in ten minutes” “ready for what” “we’re getting fried chicken and figuring whatever that sad face is about” “JACKSON WHAT”
it basically makes you feel like a teenager when you have to find a way to sneak out of your dorm and into his car without letting everyone else to notice
and he sees you running to his car with a mask on and a team wang beanie and he just,,, he feels his heart bust a GIANT nut and he can’t stop smiling like “omg they actually snuck out to see you stay calm OH GOD THEY’RE WEARING THE BEANIE RED ALERT”
like the scene from inside out in the boy’s head where all his emotions are screaming and running around lol
you hop into his car and the first thing you do after buckling your seatbelt safety first kids is glare at him
“the fried chicken better be worth breaking my diet” “only the best for the ice princess”
and the childhood name makes you smile because he really hasn’t changed
and it’s when you guys are tucked away in some tiny family restaurant on the second floor of a duplex, eating some of the best sweet and sour sesame chicken you’ve ever had in your life, does jackson ask you what’s really up and the only real response is
“I hate myself in the mirror”
and in that moment, when jackson sees how scared you are, his heart just. shatters.
you talk about everything you’ve been feeling; the pressure to be as small as you can ‘for the jumps’, how you’re one of only three representatives for your category of singles, the way you’ve been practically starving for months on end and if you even look at another smoothie you’ll kill someone-
and jackson just bear hugs you while asking for the bill bc you can already feel a panic attack coming on
and when you get back to the car with jackson you guys just sit in silence as he drives you back
and when he parks behind your building, he drops something in your lap
“remember when I was moving to korea and your brother came to visit me before I left? I was nervous and you told me that you were proud of me for following my dreams and that if I needed anything you guys were one call away. you told him to give me this ring and said it was your lucky charm so I could do well, and now I’m giving it back.”
“jacks-” “I’m not done. If skating is taking a toll on your health, you need to find a way out. I don’t want to find out that you ended up dead in a hotel room because you needed to ‘be smaller,’ or whatever other crap they tell you. You don’t have to change for anyone, and if I find out you’re not eating properly I will not hesitate to kick your ass. So, go out there and do your best, and when your events are over...”
"winner winner chicken dinner?”
and that’s what makes you and jackson lose it
because no matter how old you two get, you’ll still be those kids from the youth olympics with wacky traditions you created when you were tweens/teens
so when you do compete during the short program, jackson texts you some good luck texts that say he’ll be watching you live
only he neglects to tell you that he meant he boUGHT TICKETS TO PHYSICALLY SEE YOU THERE??!?!?!?!?
and honestly the only reason you even know he’s there is because you hear him scream ‘WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER’ and have to stop yourself from laughing so hard you fall over
but you get through to the free skate!!
you’re not sure if your score is enough to really get you to the finals yet which is scary
but it’s ok because you realize jackson literally took so many photos and videos of your performance and updated his instagram story with no captions
except for a black screen at the end that just says ‘I can’t believe I got to watch this in person oh my god’
and when the results come out that you are competing in the finals he proceeds to lose his mind on twitter
one tweet that got a particularly large amount of traction was one that just said “if you’re not into figure skating unfollow me now this is gonna be the only thing on my brain for the next two days”
jackson is NOT subtle nor does he want to be lmfao
especially because your brother messaged jackson being like “did u kiss them yet” and jackson was like “why would I do that we don’t like each other like that” and then two seconds later went “I’ll do it after their events I can’t distract them rn”
and you have the day off the next day so you expect a ton of texts or calls from Jackson but you get none which confuses the absolute hell out of you
so you message the only other person you know who would know why he’s not annoying you like he usually would: your brother
“hey I need ur help” “omg an olympic figure skater needs my help!!!!1!1″ “shut up and help me”
basically you annoy him enough to get him to tell you that jackson doesn’t want to distract you before your free skate
so you start spamming jackson like the good friend you are
“hello mr wang pls answer me” “jacksonnnnnnnn” “dumpling boy” “don’t make me call your mother” “geoul-a geoul-a jebal jom malhaejulyeomuna”
jackson, freaking the fuck out in the got7 group chat: “SOS I’m in love send help” “slfjslkd they just sent the opening line to just right what dO I D O”
all the other members are reading his messages and laughing because damn he has it bad
anyway he never messages you back so you kinda just shrug it off and make sure you stretch properly and relax because you have to do well to medal
the next day, you get a text right before you go on the ice from the ghoster himself that’s just a picture of the rink from a high pov
and you have to force yourself to focus because “wow,,,,, he really meant watch me live huh,,,,,,, he’s so cute I love him,,,,, wait WHAT”
and before your free skate, the program announcer calls your name and then says “skating to GOT7′s Crash and Burn”
does Jackson almost shit himself and have a heart attack at the same time??? yes
like he figured you meant use his songs at like nationals or something not the goddaMN FUCKING OLYMPICS?????????
serves him right for not warning you he was gonna show up to see you skate both times tbqh
but you make sure that you try and get in all your rotations in full and that your jumps are clean because if there’s one thing you’re not gonna do it’s ruin jackson’s song
the judges are deliberating and jackson is so proud he tears up a little
and then when you’re putting your guards on and talking to your coaches, you can hear commotion behind you
you turn around only to see jackson trying to explain that he’s not insane and he knows you and you have to explain that, yes, you do in fact know the crazy man trying to break into the box
so he does come to greet you but instead of congratulating you like a normal person, he just goes “I’m in love with you”
and you’re so shocked that you don’t even realize that you won’t medal because jackson is kissing you
the entire internet is on fire with headlines like “jackson wang dating olympic figure skater” or “olympic figure skater uses bf jackson wang’s song during their free skate performance”
it’s funny as hell when the internet goes crazy and the rest of your family gets questioned too
your brother takes full credit for the relationship
bambam jokingly tweeting about how you should let him help you plan the wedding sends aghases into screaming mode
jackson’s mom flies out to beijing to see you and you guys go for dinner together and she brings some of his baby pictures to show you
jackson looks like he wants to crawl in a hole and die lol
you look at each other with so much love in your eyes and his mom takes like 50 billion pictures and sends them to the group chat she’s in with your mom and brother with the caption “mission accomplished”
you get a text on your way out of the restaurant from your brother that just says “use protection” and you have to restrain yourself from blocking him lol
alternatively known as: the one where hendery falls in love with his co-director while putting on romeo and juliet
pairing: director!hendery x director!reader
genres/AUs: fluff, humour, coworkers to lovers, secret admirer!au, highschool!au
warnings: one mention of food, one mention of weapons, shakespeare references, idk if this counts but there are spoilers for romeo and juilet???, everyone shares a single brain cell
a/n: hendery is so cute I just had to write this and I wanted to get it out on his birthday but I forgot :(( also this was HIGH KEY inspired by Juliet by LMNT lmfao
tags/networks: @pretty-neos @houseofincantations
“romeo and juliet can suck it” is the first thing you hear hendery say when you enter the auditorium
wong kunhang, nicknamed hendery, is probably the only person in the history of every high school drama department to get put in charge of directing a play because of how much he hates it
Hendery’s hatred for romeo and juliet runs DEEP
Like if a zombie apocalypse ever happened hendery would personally seek out Shakespeare’s undead brainless corpse JUST to be the one to re-kill him deep
And when hendery is this passionate about something, he will not shut. up.
Hendery, from his seat at the back of the class: “this entire play is written about horny Italian teens!!“
This also meant that he disrupted class
A lot
It’s not like he does it on purpose though, he genuinely doesn’t see the point in studying plays that have very little relevance to modern society
“There’s no way this is about teenagers” “it literally says that juliet is fourteen” “if she’s fourteen how come there’s not a single mention about pimples in the entire play hm? when my sister got her first pimple she CRIED ok I call bullshit”
But it’s after another one of his stupid comments in you guys’ shared English class that you really start wondering why he hates it so much
You see, you and kunhang have known each other for a few years
You met in middle school at what was probably both your first ‘boy-girl’ parties and were one of the few people (who are now all your closest friends) who had zero interest in dating and kissing and stayed upstairs to play card games
So yeah, you guys ran with similar crowds and overlapped every once in a while but you don’t really know him
but you will say, he intrigues you a lot
from your peer reviewed analyses, you can tell he truly thinks about the underlying messages and themes you guys learn about in class and somehow, that just made him seem that much more interesting to you
anyway, one day your teacher finally has enough of his shit and declares that instead of the standard theme analysis, the class will be putting on romeo and juliet for the rest of the school
for 25% of your grade
everyone is either super excited or hates hendery with their entire being
especially because your teacher decides that in order for him to truly learn, he’s going to direct
all the theatre kids in your class tried to start a petition to stop him but your teacher rejected it
“if mister wong so despises the idea of shakespeare’s characterizations, perhaps he should put his own spin on it”
and if there’s ONE THING that gets hendery motivated, it’s winning a challenge
so yes, you hated that your teacher put the one person who hated shakespeare in charge of directing the play shakespeare is known world wide for
but at least you managed to calm down the class when you asked her to let you two be co-directors
so while kunhang, who asked you to call him hendery, would deal with the big picture
you would be the one micromanaging and making sure his vision could come to life, while also reigning in his incredibly imaginative ideas and spiting him by not calling him hendery
“kunhang we cannot use katanas during the fight scene” “why not” “because that’s ILLEGAL!!!! also we have no budget”
so yeah, hendery isn’t necessarily happy about this but it could be worse
he could have to deal with jungwoo alone
"you know GODDAMN well that I deserve to be juliet, nobody pulls off burgundy dresses like me and you know it!” “jungwoo whoever plays romeo is going to have to kiss you in front of the whole school and not everyone is as confident as you” “you are a coward, wong kunhang”
(un)surprisingly, hendery puts his entire soul into this play
you’ve never seen him this invested in anything before
his copy of the play is riddled with annotations and highlights
he creates a binder full of ideas that he brings to you at the beginning of your english class one day
“I know you said we have no budget but what if we built everything ourselves” “are you insane” “yes, that’s why I asked you to call me hendery” “in your dreams, kunhang”
and he consults you on all of his decisions, even if it is at 2AM over discord
wk hendery: ok here me out. romeo and juliet but it’s set in space.
y/n: no. go to sleep.
you two are quite frankly the best co-directors since dante bascarino and bryan konietzo aka the guys who created the og avatar the last airbender
you guys even convince some of the senior theatre kids to help out with stage management and backstage crews
but it’s after one of your first full run throughs that you ask hendery about his hatred for shakespeare
“oh, I don’t hate shakespeare, I just don’t understand why people think romeo and juliet is the best story to teach a bunch of high school kids when his other plays exist”
the statement makes you freeze in your tracks
“so then, if you don’t hate shakespeare... can I ask what your favourite play is” “you just did” “kunhang I swear to god-”
since when did his laugh make you feel fuzzy?????
“I don’t have a favourite, but I will say one of the plays I admire the most is The Play That Must Not Be Named” “you mean mac-” “DON’T SAY IT”
he grins like the cheshire cat when you roll your eyes
hendery thinks you’re so cute, especially when you’re telling him off
he thought you were cute since that party in middle school when you guys played bluff instead of spin the bottle and you made him believe that you actually had all four kings even though he had two of them
you two becoming co-directors honestly made him so nervous because how is he supposed to prove himself when you’re right there?????
and you don’t see it, but he thinks he finally understands shakespeare’s obsession with love interests
he feels like he might throw up but he knows. he knows he has to tell you how he thinks he might feel or he might just implode
the more time you two spend together, the more he gets to know you and thinks he’s going to die because of how cute you are
he tells you about how his mom put him into acting lessons to overcome his shyness and that they used to do shakespeare and improv
you joke about how you think your english teacher was gonna eat their words when they see this play
and he is just????? losing his mind bc “how can someone be so cool and beautiful and oh god I’m doomed aren’t I”
so hendery decides the best way to woo you is to become extra as hell and leave you little notes with shakespeare quotes on them
only he decides to listen to jungwoo, whose only source of relationship advice is his seven year old sister, and make them ~anonymous~
it starts with simple ones like ‘shall I compare thee to a summer’s day’ or ‘the course of true love never did run smooth’
obvious and mainstream enough to get you to realize that they’re love notes
but then hendery kicks it up a notch and decides to use lesser known ones
‘but she makes hungry where she most satisfies’ shows up the day after you and hendery talk about Antony & Cleopatra
‘love's not love when it is mingled with regards that stand aloof from th' entire point’ is found in your backpack the same day you rehearse the infamous balcony scene
when your teacher talks about young love in the play, jungwoo oh so lovingly steers the question to you and hendery looks like he might die from how red he gets
and obviously jungwoo knows it’s hendery doing this so he keeps trying to ask you about them and prompting discussions about the plays they revolve around
but then this completely backfires when you tell hendery that you think jungwoo might be the person leaving the notes
“I keep getting these random anonymous notes with cute shakespearean quotes on them and jungwoo said he likes someone but is too shy to tell them!!”
hendery, knowing DAMN WELL that jungwoo has been hooking up with the cute boy in the back of your english class but was sworn to secrecy: “uhhhhhh gotta blast”
It’s only when he’s staging the fight scene where tybalt dies in act three that you wonder if maybe,,, you like hendery??
it’s the only explanation you can really come up with when you question why you feel like there are flowers blooming in your chest whenever you see hendery
spoiler alert: you definitely like hendery, even if he does sort of annoy you by accidentally leaving his copy of the play at the auditorium after every rehearsal
fun fact: he does this on purpose because he saw it in a drama once and jungwoo said it would work
on the day of the play, you walk into school and head to your locker only to find like fifty people gathered around it and your first thought is ‘oh no did I leave a sandwich in there for too long??’ but NOPE
people notice you and basically part like the red sea to let you see what has the school poking their nose into your business
and it’s another one of those DAMN notes
but this time it’s in,,,,, a pink envelope? with heARTS on iT???
and you know there’s no way it’s jungwoo because he sent you a snapchat video of himself dying in bed with the flu last night
so who!! the FUCK!! is doing this!!
the entire cast n crew has a discord chat dedicated to this drama where they take bets and make predictions because "mercutio” saw hendery slipping a note into your backpack
you rip the envelope off your locker and shove it in your backpack and roll your eyes so people leave you alone but before your first period you run to the bathroom to read the note in private
“A heart to love, and in that heart, courage to make’s love known. Meet me on the roof after the play?”
your heart is fluttering and you try to stop a grin from forming because this is so exciting
a part of you hopes that it’s hendery, but another part just squishes that down because “no we have work to do!! play first, crush later”
hendery witnessed your reaction to the note from behind a corner and he’s dumb so he didn’t realize the reaction was for show so he’s kind of heartbroken poor baby
you guys get the second half of your day to set up so you guys are running around making sure everything is set up
and you can feel the energy with hendery is off
he responds with short answers and tries to avoid you even though you guys literally have to have this go smoothly or else you will make everyone in your english class fail and you absolutely REFUSE to let that happen
so you grab hendery and drag him outside the auditorium ten minutes before the play is supposed to start
“kunhang what the HELL are you playing at?” “nice pun” “kunhANG” “look, I’m not trying to play at anything! can we just... get this over with?”
hendery feels awful about this but what is he supposed to do?? this is the only way he knows he’ll get over you
and your heart just breaks a tiny bit
so you mutter out a small “fine” before brushing past him and heading to the director’s nest
the entire play is super awkward but it runs smoothly, and when you go out to take your bow you grab hendery’s hand and he cracks
You both get given flowers and backstage the cast and crew is celebrating, both you and hendery’s parents are fawning over you two and how great it is
But you notice hendery leave the auditorium and it hits you; it’s been hendery the whole time
So you do what every romcom protagonist has taught you
You run after him
You can’t find him in the halls, so you run up to the roof
“Took you long enough” “shut up and let me catch my breath will you”
You want to be mad, you want to be so mad at him right now, but looking at his face makes you start laughing because of how nervous he seems
“why are you laughing? I’m being serious!” “you’re such a cliche, wong kunhang” “I am NOT a cliche!! My nickname literally means someone who is different!!”
you roll your eyes at his insistence but he shifts the subject to the elephant in the room
“so, um, I- uh- I like you” he gets out, flushing pink while you giggle
“wow mister shakespeare can write love notes but can’t even tell the person he likes how he feels properly?” you tease
he’s a big pouty baby but it’s really cute
“I’m TRYING to confess here ok now do you like me back or not :( “ “yes, kunhang, I like you too” “good”
You guys run back to the auditorium before people question where you disappeared to and use the school-appropriate cast party at the pizza place nearby as an unofficial first date
the cast and crew keep wiggling their eyebrows and making kissy faces at you anytime you and hendery look at each other and it’s horribly embarassing but so is young love <3
When you walk into your english class the weekend after the play, hendery’s hand in yours, your teacher applauds your work and quickly winks at you two
alternatively known as: the one where youngjae gets a significant other because coco got knocked up
pairing: youngjae x dog owner!reader
genres/AUs: fluff, humour, crack, strangers to (brief) enemies to friends to lovers (so basically all the tropes ldkfjsk)
warnings: animal pregnancy and consequently animal labour
a/n: do I know what this is?? no. am I subjecting the internet to this anyway?? yes. enjoy!! also this was heavily inspired by @gtsvnbys bc her au’s have the cutest titles + plots
ok so first things first, we all know youngjae would literally die for coco
like the man literally dedicated a youtube channel to making her food and bath bombs
a 13/10 devoted father to his princess
and you happen to know youngjae!!
not bc he’s ‘choi youngjae, vocalist of got7′, but because he’s miss coco’s dad
and because you always ended up at the dog park at the same time as them
your new menace pup, bagel, was coco’s resident bff!! that also managed to get her pregnant oops use protection kids
this probably wouldn’t have happened if youngjae hadn’t smiled so brightly you thought he was the sun and got drawn in
and it definitely wouldn’t have happened it your laugh didn’t literally sound like a whole symphony to him
and it 100% could have been stopped if you guys weren’t basically flirting so hard the rest of the dog owners were placing bets on when you two would get together
so it’s definitely a shared blame but like,, for good reason
n e ways
ur chillin at home doin whatever it is u do and then youngjae texts you the randomest thing???
“u owe me CHILD SUPPORT”
so obviously you call him because what the heck does that even MEAN
and he is P I S S E D. like you thought he was sunshine?? get this man angry and he will give you a goddamn sunburn
turns out,, when owners are distracted,,,,,,, ur dogs can get up to some Interesting Things(tm)
so any chances of wooing youngjae?? are gone
“who doesn’t get there dog neutered?! you can’t just do what you want, life has consequences!!” “me???? you’re the one who brought your FERTILE DOG to a dog park in the middle of her heat!!” “well at least my dog is a LADY and knows how to keep it in her pants unlike some heathens” “JOKES ON YOU HE DOESN’T EVEN WEAR PANTS”
and okay youngjae in protective dad mode is really hot bUT he also just called your baby a heathen so FRIENDSHIP OVER >:(
“He thinks he’s so high and mighty because he treats his dog like a prissy princess like who does he think he is??” - you, ranting to bagel as you watch soap opera reruns at night
“I can’t believe they would be irresponsible and not neuter their dog, this is exactly why I tell you that you deserve more than anyone can give you” - youngjae, holding coco up to his eye level and ranting about bagel
This feud goes on for a while
Dogs are only pregnant for two and a half months and you two have spent the last month throwing snarky comments about anything and everything
And I do mean EVERYTHING
“Oh look, it’s the impregnation prince” “hey bagel, how would you feel if I decked your baby mama’s dad hm?” “That’s setting a GREAT example for the kids” “maybe coco will learn some self defence skills since your only experience comes from naruto” “HEY”
And this doesn't just happen with words
You end up finding out you two shop at the same stores
Youngjae, looking straight at you while grabbing the last box of your favourite cereal: whoops.
In retaliation you put a 3kg box of cucumbers in his cart when he’s not paying attention
Both of you arguing over the last bottle of soy sauce and the poor store worker is like “I don’t get paid enough for this shit”
The only reason you even stopped is because,,,,,,you miss him
You miss the way he would smile at all the puppies in the park and how he would get excited with you about fake dog drama
“can you BELIEVE that pepito cheated on kimchi with sagwa?? The AUDACITY smh”
And youngjae wants to hear your laugh again after he makes dumb jokes to break the ice
“What do you call a dog magician? A labracadabrador!”
So the next time you see him as you’re walking bagel, you tell him that you want to call a truce
“I will admit that it’s partially my fault for not keeping a closer eye on him but I’m tired of fighting all the time. Look at how happy they are together!”
And you finally see his smile and it feels like the sun is shining again and all is right in the world
But Youngjae still believes you owe him child support!!
So for the next month and a half, you end up really getting to know not only coco but Youngjae too
You guys go to coco’s doctor’s appointments, spend time at his apartment looking through puppy names, and you guys even make home made doggy treats!!
“this looks like coco’s poop” “oh my god ew you’re right”
“coco-yah, give appa a kiss!!” “she just wants the sweet potato” “sssshhhh”
It’s a ton of fun, and then in walks.........mark tuan. also known as coco’s absentee dad
Youngjae invites Mark to one of your park outings and he brings Milo who is so energetic and cute!!
And mark introduces himself to you like “hi, I’m mark! You must be youngjae’s s/o, he talks about you all the time” while youngjae and you just break out into denial
“omg mark ur so funny hahahahahsleepwithoneeyeopentonighthahahah”
Mark: “you guys literally go on dog park dates” youngjae: “it’s called being a responsible parent, you wouldn’t know that though” mark: looks into the camera like he’s on the office
Honestly you think nothing of it, youngjae is just your friend whose dog happens to be the mother of your grandchildren :^)
And yes, ok, MAYBE youngjae had talked about you bUT it was mostly about coco and bagel mark’s just hyperfixating no he’s not youngjae has a PHAT crush
But one night you’re over at his, letting bagel and coco have some bonding time while you watch Hotel for Dogs, and it starts raining
The dogs are asleep, the light of the TV is hitting Youngjae’s face as he tries not to cry at the scene in front of you and the only thing you’re thinking is “I’m so glad my dog got your dog pregnant, because I don’t think I’d want to do this with anyone else”
But what you also don't notice is that when you're falling asleep on Youngjae's shoulder at the end of the movie he's thinking the exact same thing
Well not exactly
He's more thinking "I'm so glad I get to be here with you, even if your dog did get my princess pregnant" while staring at you with the softest smile on his face
anyway one night it’s like 3AM or something and you’re asleep, as one would expect
but your phone keeps buzzing and ur like ‘dear whatever higher power exists please let this insanity stop’
and it does!!
until someone starts caLLING
and at this point ur just fed up so you answer the phone and ur like “idc WHO THIS IS it is thREE IN THE DAMN MORNING so you BETTER have a good fuckin reason for calling” until u realize it’s youngjae practically SCREECHING in panic mode on the other end
“whERE ARE YOU COCO IS HAVING THE BABIES RIGHT N O W”
the moment u hear this ur like “OK DON’T MOVE I’LL BE THERE ASAP” and running out the door in ur pjs with like mismatching shoes and scooping up bagel like “don’t freak out but ur about to be a dad” but all he does is lick ur nose and smile and u curse urself for owning a cutie patootie pup
with your phone in one hand and bagel’s leash in the other you’re trying to get youngjae to stop panicking and then you hear someone in the background yell “dude tell your s/o to hurry up” and your only thought is EXCUSE ME?? S/O?????
but this mf doesn’t even DENY it, he just yells back “SHUT UP THEY’RE ALREADY ON THEIR WAY” and you’re just like slkdjfljs????? Coco is having babies we will deal with this Later(tm) while telling Youngjae to hurry up and let you into his apartment
He lets you in and as you get to the door, Youngjae opens it and it is.........a hot mess
Coco’s in a cardboard box, there’s some sort of clear liquid in a puddle on the floor, you can hear a dryer going on in the background, and Youngjae is wearing an old anime tshirt with bright pink pjs and has like floofy bed head with his glasses sliding down his nose bridge but STILL manages to look like a goddamn snack???
but again, you have next to no time because bagel basically jumps out of your arms and pulls you to coco and Youngjae is talking your ear off
“there’s water in her bowl, I’ve got blankets in the dryer, the internet said to have dental floss in case we need to tie an umbilical cord, oh shit we need to call the vet oh my god how could I for-"
The only way to cut him off is to literally grab him by the shoulders and shake him
But you also very lightly push his glasses back up on his nose and fix his hair while teasing him
"You have to be presentable when you meet your grandchildren for the first time ^.^"
When I tell you this man's heart BURSTS!!!!!
But he can't do anything about it right now because "hey dude I've got the vet on the phone, when did coco start going into labour?"
So you do the only thing you know how to do: you make sure your babies are okay
Youngjae is monitoring coco like his life depends on it and you are making sure bagel isn't destroying anything he shouldn't be near and youngjae's brother is in the background like should I go back to bed now orrrrrr
You're too focused on trying to get youngjae to keep calm that you don't even notice the fact that you two are A: holding hands and B: youngjae has been low key sniffing your hair to keep him grounded because he likes the scent of your shampoo
You're literally this man's rock right now because he is dying of panic and the next 15 minutes are truly life changing
As it turns out, coco isn't a princess. she's a QUEEN.
She gives birth to three adorable little babies with no complications, who are named coffee (because coffee and bagel), puff (because coco puffs), and donut (because it's like a coco flavoured bagel)!!
After all is said and done, the pups are nursing and bagel and coco look so happy together
You're wondering what's next for you two, especially because you're still holding hands but now it's because neither of you want to let go oops
"I've had like three hours of sleep in the past week because I couldn't stop thinking about this happening so allow me a moment to be absolutely insane" he rushes out as you look at him
You nod slowly because you can kind of see where he's going but also it's still 5:30 in the morning and you guys just helped deliver 3 puppies so your mind is still kind of frazzled
And when youngjae presses his lips to yours,,,,,, your heart and your brain go ASFHKLJHKLK
And you pull away because h u h but also youngjae looks absolutely terrified but neither of you can stop giggling because wow I can't believe we just did that
"I'm sorry I wasn't think-" "youngjae?” “I know I should have asked but-” “less apologizing more kissing please" "I can do that"
Am I saying you spend the next few hours kissing and watching over your dogs instead of sleeping?? yes. Do you end up crashing at like noon and missing coco’s emergency post-partum appointment and get woken up by his brother paparazzi-ing you two for blackmail purposes?? also yes.

an incomprehensive list of wips I have in my drafts so u guys can bully me into finishing them!!
Here are some of the things I’m working on that you can either look forward to or not. note that requests are both open and appreciated (I need inspiration) so if y’all want something specific, I’d love to write it for you!!
what to expect when you’re expecting - choi youngjae x reader, bulleted
notes: I originally had this idea for xiaojun of nct/wayv but I know for a fact that I’m going to be writing a lot for nct and I am, as they say, a choi youngjae enthusiast and his love for coco knows no boundaries so this one goes out to her
lost in translation - moon taeil x non korean speaking!reader ft johnny, bulleted
notes: I try to make all my writing inclusive but I just live for the concept of idols falling for foreigners but having limited communication skills and roping in their friends to translate so for this one, I’m sorry korean speakers!! if ur bilingual pretend the language you speak that isn’t korean is the one you’d use I guess??
untitled mafia au - ??? x reader, full fic, we’ll see if this ever sees the light of day
notes: I listened to black dress by CLC and read way too much fanfic and this popped out. also I finally got tired of the reader always being damsel in distress and pulled an uno reverse card and made them the mafia boss while ??? is horrified and confused
an nct foreign swaggers group chat (johnny, mark, jaehyun, ten, yuta, winwin is mentioned)
a wayv group chat centered around kun x reader
doyoung x reader texts where he tries to impress reader using ridiculous things the members tell him about even though they’re already together?? idk this one is truly a wip
possibly a skz group chat centered around member x reader being together but felix exposes them?? idk
snow bird: slang for someone who does winter sports
worlds: short term/slang for the World Figure Skating Championships, an annual competition held by the International Skating Union (ISU)
fēnggāo: honeycomb cakes, a beijing specialty
jiǎozǐ: dumplings
ice princess: contrary to popular belief, this term is used regardless of gender to refer to someone who has at one point or another been a competitive figure skater (at least where I’m from)
a lot of skaters will try to stay as small as possible so they can get faster spins and higher jumps
short program: the first of two routines you see in competition, lasting a maximum of 2m40s for singles and 2m50s for pairs
free skate: sometimes known as the “long program”, this is the second of the two routines skaters will perform. in order to make it to the free skate, skaters must score above [around] 60 points, based on many different categories. the program lasts around 4 minutes, and prior to 2015, could only use instrumental music. judges do still prefer instrumentals although several professional skaters have used lyrical works in recent years
full rotations: during a spin, a skater must spin in on one foot, make a (or multiple) full 360 degree turn(s) and exit out on the same foot in order to gain the maximum amount of points for the element in question. deductions will be made for exiting on the wrong foot and/or incomplete rotations
clean jumps: a clean jump is typically just a jump that is executed quickly and without flaw
I think that’s it!! I’ll update this with more info if you guys want :^)
