Rating: General

Relationships: (One-sided?) Ka Koshun/Ryuu Jusetsu (implied)

Characters: Ka Koshun, Ei Sei, Ryuu Jusetsu (mentioned)

A/N: i.e., Koshun being sentimental after Jusetsu leaves. May or may not be a series, contains light novel spoilers not in the anime. I wrote this with a Modern AU in mind but it ended up being vague enough to fit both the AU and canon so there's that lol

———

They don't look alike.

The words roll around in his mind, but he knows this. It's why it came as a shock when Ei Sei first revealed it to him, shoulders shaking and eyes quivering in a way Koshun has only seen a handful of times before. Because on first inspection, there's hardly any evidence to support the idea that Jusetsu and Ei Sei could be related, much less be siblings, from their hair to their eyes to the planes of their faces and bodies. There were no records, their parents were deceased, and no other reliable witnesses.

And yet.

There it is, he thinks, peeking at Ei Sei over the rim of his tea cup.

They've been friends for years, but Ei Sei has always kept his distance, claiming the difference in their stations as a reasonable excuse. Koshun never agreed—in his eyes, they were both orphans with mothers who protected them to their ruin and fathers who couldn't care less. They had the same teachers, ate the same food, slept under the same roof ("Only because you made it so, Koshun-sama," Ei Sei lamented). Ei Sei was achingly familiar, more family to him than any of his half-siblings, whose own families have shielded them from the estranged Ka boy.

All of this is to say that despite Ei Sei (stubbornly, stupidly) always standing five paces away, Koshun knows him. Even now that he's more relaxed than he's ever been (especially so in the year since they met Jusetsu), seated across him with his back slumped against his chair, nursing a cup of tea with a free hand. His other massages his temple as his eyes are closed—a long-time tell that he was mentally preparing a lecture for Koshun, a tell that would always and only ever remind him of Ei Sei if anyone else did it.

But then he opens his eyes, and there's that look. When he opens his mouth to lecture him, there's that tone. He tilts his head in the same way as he finishes his argument. And even though Koshun has only known her for a fraction of the time that he's known Ei Sei, he sees her—all the little bits that she somehow shares with his best friend who is miraculously also her brother, who is his only tie to her now that she's left their home to explore the world.

"Oi, Koshun-sama." Ei Sei huffs—something he's always done, but how did Koshun not notice sooner that she did the exact same when he annoyed her? "You're doing it again."

"Doing what?"

"Deluding yourself." Ei Sei moves to stand, taking his and Koshun's cups with him to rinse in the sink. "We aren't that alike."

Koshun and the running tally in his mind beg to differ.

Busy Again

Dongwon x Reader

Fluff

Summary: When Dongwon get’s unusually busy, you think he forgot about you.

You were starting to get used to eating alone again. You and Dongwon had been together for almost a year. You’d been living together for almost 3 months, and that whole time was amazing. But now they were working so hard, and you couldn’t have been more proud of him, but you missed him.

When he first started preparing for their comeback, you were so excited. But that also meant that he’d have late practices and then they started preparing for their concerts. You started to get lonely. After so long with having someone to share a bed with you, it felt weird to be alone again.

“Hi babe!” You said as you answered his call. 

“Hey love.” My smiled fondly and asked how your day was. As you continued to talk, you saw how tired he was.

“Babe, go to bed. You look like you’re gonna fall asleep.” You smiled sadly, and wished him a goodnight before hanging up.

The next time you talked to him was when he finally got home from tour. He had a few days off, but then him, Seoham, Inseong, and Heejun were put on a show. He started to get busy again and you started to miss him again. All the while, KNK started to have practice again. They had a few festivals to do, but he was mostly free to do what he wanted.

“Babe.” You sad one night after he got home from practice.

“Why are you still awake?” He fretted. “It’s late.”

“I know.” You looked away.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” He sat beside you and pulled you into his arms.

“It’s nothing really.” You tried, but knowing Donghun’s caring nature, it wasn’t gonna work. 

“Babe.”

“It’s just that you’ve been so busy recently that I feel a little forgotten about.” You blushed and looked away. “Come on let’s go to bed.”

“Hey, no. How could I ever forget about you?” He laughed a little and pecked your forehead, forcing you to lay on the couch with him. “You’re so funny and smart. And I missed you a lot during tour and promotions.” He pulled the cover from the back of the couch over the two of you. “Plus, you’d be crazy if I wasn’t annoying the guys while we were busy about being ready to come home and see you.”

Proposal | Seungjun

Hello! I apologize for not doing the smut, I hope you understand that I’m just not good at writing it >-< Maybe once I practice more, I’ll be comfortable enough to write one ^-^ anyways, I hope you like it~

-Admin Nova (P.S. I totally understand those hyung line feels)

Word count: 567 its so short I’m sorry

Genre: Fluff

Pairing: Seungjun x Reader

It was a pretty normal day. You had just returned home from work, and Seungjun was at your apartment already, watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the hundredth time. Despite him being childish and a tad dorky, you still love him more than anyone. Not only is he your boyfriend, but he’s your best friend too.

“Hey Y/N! How was work today?” He asks, beaming at you with obvious adoration. You return the smile, taking a seat next to him and laying your head on his shoulder.

“Same as usual.” You reply.

He’s skeptical of this statement. He wants a good answer.

“Really? Not one thing happened today that was different from other days?” You can’t help but to laugh at how seriously he’s taking this. That’s one thing about Seungjun that you are particularly fond of, he never wants dull. Everything about him is unique and colorful.

“A new shipment came in? It’s not really anything special or exciting.” You worked as a manager at River Island, a clothing store you fell in love with as a teenager. After working there for a little over a year, you were promoted to manager, and its been your job for 2 years now. That’s why things like this aren’t very exciting, new shipments come in every 2 months.

Seungjun, however, is very interested.

“Do you like the new clothes? Are there any for men?” You smile, shifting yourself so that you’re laying on his lap. You mainly wanted to look at him while you guys were chatting, though.

“Yeah, they’re pretty nice. I might get myself a few things. And yes, but you aren’t going to shop without me.” Seungjun is handsome, but his fashion sense is very questionable. It’s gotten better, but that’s because you buy all of his clothes and help him pick what to wear.

“Alright... I have another question for you.” Seungjun begins to regret it immediately after saying it, he doesn’t know if he’s ready, or if this is a good time at all.

“Hm?”

You notice his expression turn more serious, showing nervousness even. It’s a rare sight, and it worries you.

With a deep breath, Seungjun pulls an object out from the couch cushion. His other hand goes brush your hair out of your face.

“I’ve been planning this for a while now, I actually went out and bought this today,” The object turns out to be a black velvety box, and your heart commences a faster rate.

He opens the box promptly.

“Y/N, will you marry me?”

You sit up, so you can stare at the ring in utter disappointment.

Only Seungjun could manage making something so anticipated seem like a joke. Really? A ring pop?

“Are you kidding me? Seungjun...”

He grins, reaching into his pocket and pulling out the real ring.

“Sorry! Let’s try this again. Y/N, I love you so much. You’re the only person willing to put up with me, that means you must love me a lot too, right? With that being said, will you marry me for real?”

You can never expect him to do this kind of thing romantically, but who said you wanted that? You fell in love with a goofball, and no matter what stupid thing he does, you will be by his side for as long as you two are together.

“You idiot... Of course I will.”

Relationships: On Kei & Ryuu Jusetsu & Tan Kai

Characters: Ryuu Jusetsu, Tan Kai, On Kei (mentioned)

A/N: This is a snippet for an AU that I've had in my drafts forever. Might as well post it since I really like what I wrote 😅

———

"What do you think you're doing?"

Jusetsu doesn't turn to acknowledge him, choosing instead to throw the dart in her hand at a well-worn board across the room. She misses by a wide margin, and Tan Kai couldn't help the petty smirk that crawls onto his face, but he wipes it off when she faces him, eyes in shadow.

"If you must know," Jusetsu says, the lazy tone only slightly affected. "I'm reclaiming the rest of my Saturday night. I advise you to do the same," she adds, offering the dart in her other hand.

He scoffs, but takes the offered dart anyway, if only to have something to hold on to. He stares at the board, imagining white numbers counting the seconds down, wishing he could throw the dart hard enough to shatter the board and the hot and wet feelings climbing into his throat.

He throws. He misses. Stupid game.

"He's not supposed to be here," he says.

"I know."

"You had an agreement."

"I know."

"He left us, for fuck's sake, and he has the gall to—"

"Tan Kai. I know." There's a weathered look in Jusetsu's eyes that gives him pause. He rarely sees it these days, not since the work started getting easier and being just the two of them slowly became enough. Did Jusetsu get better at hiding it, or did Tan Kai just not want to notice?

"Wait, what are you doing here, then?" Jusetsu asks, a divet forming between her brows. "You were supposed to go and see him. It's why I requested the kit in the first place."

Tan Kai huffs. "Left it outside the door. He could patch himself up for all I care."

"You... never mind, fine." Jusetsu deposits the rest of the darts in a wooden case, neatly lining them up before snapping the lid shut. Tan Kai doesn't miss the gold letters etched on the cover, bright and taunting despite how worn and weathered the case was. Tan Kai was sure he chucked it into the trash months ago, feeling the tiniest satisfaction in seeing it disappear down the chute. But when did she...

Well. She's always been a softie.

He snaps back to reality as Jusetsu roughly tugs him out of the rec room and into the muted lights of the hall. He quickens his pace to match hers—just to keep from tripping, and definitely not for that piece of shit that crawled back here—soon stopping outside a room. His room. (Because even the mangled meat pounding in his rib cage couldn't deny that it'll always be his room.)

Jusetsu places the first aid kit in Tan Kai's arms before gingerly turning the doorknob, slowly cracking the door open. Tan Kai notices then the dried drops of blood on the hardwood, a steady trail coming from the other side of the hall—from Jusetsu's office, most likely. He wills his heart not to stop and his mind not to race, but then Jusetsu pulls him in and flicks on one of the desk lamps.

Tan Kai has imagined this moment from the minute On Kei left. He'd make him cry, grovel at their feet, beg for forgiveness he'd never deserve. Sure, the fantasies always ended with Jusetsu flinging him back, throwing a withering glare his way before taking On Kei away until Tan Kai could cool his head long enough to have a proper conversation. But he'd at least have those five minutes of satisfaction, which would never truly be enough for all the grief he and Jusetsu went through because of him.

Still, he never thought he'd look like this.

He turns to Jusetsu and he doesn't see the Raven—the incarnation of the Living Moon, the only surviving member of the central Ran clan, and current head of the League in the Night. He remembers a girl from long ago, clad in the purest white, with eyes as clear and grand as a winter sky.

"What was I supposed to do?" she asks quietly, those same eyes cloudy and cold, the fight leaking out of her.

Homework

Seoham x Reader

Fluff

Summary: Seoham came home late from practice to find you still up.

When Seoham came home, he didn’t expect to find your office light still on.

“Hey babe.” He smiled as you jumped. “Why are you up this late?” He pulled your chair away from the desk.

“I was just finishing some work before I went to bed.” You said, yawning into his shirt.

“Come on, lets go to bed.” And picked you up, taking you both to your room. He handed you some clothes, that you later realized was his, and hurried and put them on. When Seoham came in he found you face down on the bed, over the covers. He laughed, pulling the covers over you before climbing in. You immediately attached yourself to him.

“Goodnight darling.” He smiled as you nuzzled into his chest. “I love you.”

[kpoprunsmylifenow]

Attractive

Inseong x Reader

Fluff

Summary: Everyone knew that your boyfriend was good looking, you included.

“Stop being so attractive.” You pouted. Inseong was currently in Japan for some schedules, and you were facetiming.

“Babe I’m just sitting here.” He laughed.

“Exactly.” You pouted more, pulling the covers that were around you tighter.

“I feel like you’re just trying to be cute.” He laughed again, leaning his chin against his fist. 

“No. I’m trying to give you a compliment!” You whined.

“Thank you baby.” He smiled. “But you’re super cute when you pout.”

“I just miss you.” You pouted more. “So I’m trying to be nice.” He laughed again.

“I know.” His smile softened. “I should be home soon, we only have one more concert. And then I’ll be home free.” You leaned against your arm.

“I wish I could go.” You smiled. “You’re concerts are always fun.” You giggled.

“They’re only fun to you because you like it when the members pick on me.” You laughed loudly at that. 

“I mean you aren’t wrong.”

I Only Tripped

Jihun x Reader

Fluff

Summary: When Jihun takes a fall at practice, it may or may not have scared the hell out of you.

You loved when you were able to go to practice with Jihun. The boys also loved it because you usually brought food with you that they’d eat while they were on breaks. Jihun secretly loved it that you were comfortable enough with his group mates to like being around them.

“Y/N!” You heard Heejun yell as you walked in. 

“Hi Heej.” You smiled, hugging the tall man. “Hey guys.” Hugs went around, with hugs and kisses for your boyfriend. As you got settled in and the boys started to stretch and warm up.

“Okay guys, let’s get started.” Jihun said, going to the phone connected to the speakers to get their practice started. They first went through some of their older songs, and then started to work on some of their newer music.

You’d saw Jihun stumble a couple of times while they were practicing, but seeing him fall scared the shit out of you.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt?” You asked as you and the boys rushed towards him.

“Calm down, I’m fine.” He tried to laugh, pushing away your frantic hands. “I only tripped.

“But you fucking scared me!” You pushed him, Dongwon rubbing your back as you wiped your eyes. “God don’t do that to me.” Jihun frowned, grabbing your hand.

“I’m sorry I scared you, but I’m fine love. I just tripped.” You forced a water bottle in his hands as Seoham suggested they take a long break to eat some of the stuff you brought.

Later that night, as Jihun walked you home. He kept apologizing for scaring you earlier.

“It’s okay. It just scared me.” You smiled. “Just make sure you take care of yourself, I know you forget a lot of the time.” Jihun laughed at that.

“Well babe, that’s what you’re here for.”

Friends I Guess

Heejun x Reader

Angst

Summary: Don’t fall in love with your friends, it only makes things worse.

When you’d became friends with Heejun in middle school, you didn’t know he’d debut in a kpop group. But when you found out that he was a trainee, you supported him 100%. You’d hang out all the time and help him catch up with his work when he was having trouble.

After your first boyfriend broke up with you, he was there. Letting you cry on his shoulder and pulling you out of the house so you wouldn’t mope around alone. He even brought you food during school just to make sure you ate. It was the little things he did that made you fall in love with him.

When you met the rest of his group members, you were excited. You’d heard so much about them that you were nervous they wouldn’t like you. But when he introduced you, you fit right in. Seoham was over a foot taller than you, as was the rest of them, and they made to feel so welcome. That night was one of the funnest you’d had in a while.

When you’d started college, he still came around to make sure you ate or whatever. He made sure that you came by the studio when he was there to study in peace, since you roommate liked to blast music when they were studying.

There was a few times when people’d pick on you, saying that you acted more like partners than best friends. So Heejun decided to set the record straight.

“We’re just friends.” He laughed as you froze beside him. “We’ve been friends for too long to be anything other than that.” And his smile was so genuine that you had to look away. So that he couldn’t see your heart breaking for the second time in your life.
