QUICK FIX #61: WayV Kun Hot Fuck in the Lotus Position
Member: WayV Kun
Content: You're both about to fall asleep when you go for one last round and you end up intimately riding Kun’s dick.
Type: WILD
Word Count: 1,458
This story is part of my Quick Fix Dirty Kpop Imagines series. Check it out for more x female reader smut and other groups and members.
💬 Request: I would be happy with any WayV member, but I would ask for a wild Kun one.
I realized in hindsight that maybe this was a gay request? But it was made as a comment on a straight Kun story, so I choose to believe it was not 😊 It's not “wild” as such (I have wilder stories), but more steamy and hot than any Kun story I've written, so I hope you'll be turned on by this. Please enjoy!
“Kun?” you whispered and opened your eyes. It felt as though he'd fallen asleep in your arms, but in reality it was you who had briefly dozed off.
“Yeah?” he whispered and it surprised you how close his face was to yours, as you lay naked side by side in his bed late at night.
“You awake?”
“Yeah,” Kun confirmed. How could he possibly sleep when he was so horny and had your body to hold and to touch?
Good, you thought. Your boyfriend wasn't the only one who would rather fuck all night than waste time on sleeping.
*****
Kun was sitting with his ass near the edge of the bed, and legs stretched out on the mattress. The only thing keeping him from falling backwards onto the floor was his arms tight around your waist and back.
He held on for dear life. So did you, around his neck. His rock hard cock throbbed repeatedly inside you, and the muscles on his body flexed.
It was two o’clock in the morning, and the fourth time you fucked like rabbits since you came over.
You kissed his lips and stroke his shoulder. The intimate position felt powerful, but also sweet. Your heart had never been this full, and you wished you had met the man sooner.
Neither of you moved, at least not more than the occasional tiny jolt as you made out in the low light. That's why it actually surprised you when Kun suddenly closed his eyes hard, grimaced and announced: “Aghhh, I'm gonna come!”
You were certainly close too but the thought that he would bust hadn't even crossed your mind. In your head you were just kissing and touching, and the fact that you'd actually been slow-fucking for over twenty minutes felt surreal, like time just flew by in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps it was the late hour, or how close you felt to each other after fucking so often and so hard. It had been an insane week – not just tonight – but this also wasn't just about sex.
It was about something deeper, something more passionate. It was about the sincerity in Kun’s soul when you locked eyes, and the comforting feeling of his strong arms holding you close.
His words made your body react though. And when you softly rocked your hips over his thighs, and his shaft rubbed against your insides while your folds clenched it, it was suddenly abundantly clear that you weren't just hugging and kissing – you were intimately riding his dick.
The tiny motions and almost undetectable sex to the naked eye was so intense Kun’s mind went blank and he nearly blacked out. His hands slid down to your ass and he pulled. He encouraged your repetitive motions on his dick while his face remained twisted and strained.
He held his breath, focused his mind, and you could tell that the words were true – he would explode in the night any second now, and you anticipated the moment with excitement.
You panted, soft but rapid puffs of air escaping your mouth. You planted your lips on his forehead, and curled your fingers on his head.
He looked up when you pulled his hair and put his lips against your neck. He closed his eyes again and grimaced hard, as if holding his orgasm in until you were ready, while his mind focused entirely on your body and the amazing sensation you gave him.
The dick inside you jolted and hit you in a wonderful place. It made you open your eyes wide and gasp, and the fact that you were about to come too, on his cock, was something you suddenly became very aware of.
Kun’s hand moved up your side and found your boob. He cupped it, squeezed it, then massaged it gently, while his ass jumped up and down on the bed in ever larger motions.
“Oh, yeah, Kun!” you suddenly exclaimed while his dick moved back and forth between your wet folds. “Mm, mm, yeah, yeah!”
Kun held his breath again, only to exhale deeply onto your chest. You could feel the intricate changes in his expression as he pressed against your skin, and the wonderful orgasm lingered on the edge between collapsing of exhaustion, and fully erupting in a wonderful bliss.
For half a minute you both became silent, only the rhythmic squeaking of the mattress filling the room. Then your thoughts wandered to how firm and big his upper arms felt, and that's when you were suddenly not just brought to the edge, but brutally kicked over it.
“AHHH, YES, OH MY GOD, KUUUN!” you screamed and bounced wildly on his lap. “Ahh, ahh, yeah, KU-U-U-UUUN!”
And that, in turn, was when Kun could no longer hold it in. The way you said his name with such wild passion kicked him over the edge too, and made him climax in an abrupt fit of amazing desire.
“Aghhh,” he grunted, quietly at first, his voice muffled against your skin. Then he opened his mouth wide and screamed: “Ahhh, I’m gonna come! I’M GONNA COME!”
He suddenly pulled on you hard, and just as your orgasm peaked and you felt a strong energy rush from your groin to your whole body, Kun yelled your name in pure passion and you felt the shift of his dick deep inside.
You tilted your head back and pulled his hair hard, and you both panted toward the ceiling with such strain it was like you were in distress.
Kun jolted several times. You both stopped screaming but never stopped jumping wildly on the bed. Then, as soon as the erotic sensation in your body began to fade, you looked down and focused your mind on the hot cum that had already filled you up.
Kun suddenly exhaled deeply and buried his head in your neck again. The hair on the back of his neck was moist, and his previously firm muscles softened.
You sank down onto his lap and relaxed your legs. You kissed him on the forehead and panted softly against it, his hair tickling your nose. The sensation was phenomenal, and as Kun emptied himself fully when his dick jolted a few more times, he let out of a deep groan of satisfaction.
“Ahhrgh, ahhhhh,” he said and collapsed in your arms. ”Ahrgghhh, fuuck.”
You tiled slightly backwards and smiled. He managed to raise his head and your eyes met. He looked absolutely exhausted which made you giggle, and the sensation in your groin intensified before you went completely numb.
Kun's dick pulsed inside you, and your lips around it tightened. You squeezed out every last drop of cum, then became so relaxed your body began to fall to one side.
Kun held on tighter around you but let himself join you in the fall. He nearly fell off the bed which made you laugh.
Your thigh became squeezed under his body, and his hand on your boob slid down. Then you kissed, softly on the lips as you caught your breaths and regained your strength.
“Ahh, fuck,” he exhaled while you made out. “Mmm, you're so amazing baby.”
It made you smile even wider, your heart full to the brim with desire and, yes, even though you weren’t ready to admit it: love.
“I love you,” you said in a low voice and it took you by complete surprise.
“I love you too,” Kun whispered and closed his eyes.
That was a relief. But even though your adventures in bed were about a lot more than sex, this wasn’t quite love either: it was a deep, emotional form of lust.
Kun’s dick was still inside you as you lay down and got comfortable in each other's arms. You moved your leg to lighten the weight of Kun's body on it, and put your other knee over his hip. He quickly buried his head in your chest, then jolted one last time before he started to get soft.
“I love you so much,” he whispered as you came down from your respective orgasms. Maybe it wasn’t true, not in the real sense. But then again maybe it was.
“I love you too,” you said and moved his hair away from your lips. Whatever it was, it certainly felt true in the moment.
Before long you were both drifting off, falling asleep for real this time. Kun wasn't even conscious when, several minutes later, you rolled away from him and the slack dick finally fell out.
He put an arm around you in his sleep. You felt joy and immense happiness when he spooned you. And love or not, that happiness is the last thing you remember.

Summary:“You’re quiet tonight,” you said softly, taking a seat beside him.
A humorless chuckle left his lips. “I’ve been thinking.”
Pairing: Kun x reader
Kun had always been the type to think things through, to consider every possibility before making a decision. It was one of the many things you admire about him, but tonight, it was the very thing that made him feel so distant.
He sat on the edge of the bed, shoulders tense, fingers intertwined as he stared down at the floor. You could see the war waging inside him—the quiet pull of doubt gnawing at the edges of his usual composure.
“You’re quiet tonight,” you said softly, taking a seat beside him.
A humorless chuckle left his lips. “I’ve been thinking.”
“That much is obvious,” you teased, nudging him lightly. But he didn’t smile. That was when you knew—this wasn’t just any fleeting worry. This was something deeper.
Kun exhaled, rubbing his face with his hands before finally turning to meet your gaze. “I feel like I’m holding you back.”
Your brows furrowed. “What?”
He shook his head, his jaw tightening. “You deserve someone who can give you everything. Someone who isn’t constantly working, who doesn’t come home exhausted, who doesn’t—” He hesitated, his voice thick with emotion. “Who doesn’t make you wait for him.”
Your heart clenched at the weight of his words. Kun was always so selfless, always thinking about what was best for everyone else, but right now… he was breaking his own heart with assumptions that weren’t even true.
“Kun,” you murmured, reaching for his hand. “Where is this coming from?”
He let out a slow breath, thumb brushing over your knuckles absentmindedly. “I see the way your friends talk about their relationships—the spontaneous dates, the carefree adventures, the way they don’t have to plan weeks in advance just to see each other. And I just… I don’t want you to look back one day and regret choosing me.”
You squeezed his hand, shaking your head. “Kun, look at me.” He hesitated before lifting his gaze, vulnerability etched in his expression.
“I don’t care about spontaneous dates. I don’t need extravagant trips or nights out just for the sake of it. I need you. And if that means planning around your schedule, waiting a little longer just to be with you, then I’ll do it. Because I love you, and nothing about this—about us—feels like missing out.”
His lips parted slightly, as if trying to find the right words, but for once, he seemed at a loss.
You cupped his face gently, your thumbs tracing soothing circles against his skin. “You’re not holding me back, Kun. You are what I choose, every single time.”
His breath hitched, and before you knew it, he was pulling you into a tight embrace. His arms wrapped around you as if he was afraid you’d slip away, his face buried in the crook of your neck.
“Thank you,” he whispered, voice thick with emotion. “I don’t deserve you.”
You smiled softly, pressing a kiss to his temple. “You deserve everything, Kun. And I’m not going anywhere.”
And just like that, the weight on his shoulders seemed a little lighter.
Hello, could I request some Kun and something dark? Yandere maybe or using dark magic even? please

Thank you thank you a hundred times thank you. Ngl i might write this into a full fic but no promises.
DarkMagicUser!Kun x Reader ⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅
Maybe you were cursed. Or perhaps love just wasn't your suit. Was it you, or was it them? The truth remained a mystery, but one thing was clear: all your dates seemed to end horribly. Some ended up transformed into frogs or toads, others encountered increased waves of bad luck, while the rest simply ignored your existence altogether.
Had you somehow become a magic user without a clue about your own powers? Were you inadvertently casting spells, sabotaging your own romantic prospects? Maybe you should have taken those mage classes instead of sticking with tailoring.
Your fifth date this week concluded just as you dreaded it would. It had all begun like a scene from a romance novel. The moonlight lit the cobblestone path as he walked you back to your dorm, trees swaying gently in the night breeze, filling the air with the sweet scent of blooming flowers. You dared to believe that perhaps this time would be different, that you might finally escape the strange fate that had befallen your love life.
But your optimism was short-lived. The next day, as you shuffled into class, your instructor informed the class that Johnny would be out for a couple of weeks due to a bad case of warts. A soft groan escaped your lips, and you felt your heart sink. Why was this happening to you? You had poured your heart and soul into creating the perfect dress for the upcoming banquet, spending countless hours from dusk till dawn stitching and embellishing and all for what?
Meanwhile on the other side of campus, Kun was heading to becoming a powerful mage, a fact his master often boasted about. Kun was the pride of his class, constantly praised for his respectful demeanor and mindfulness. Yet, hidden beneath his polished exterior was a secret that only he knew.
Kun had a crush on you.
It was a crush that had long evolved from cute to creepy. Despite being a promising mage and the star of his class, Kun was plagued by shyness. It was a crippling fear that rendered him mute whenever he found himself near you. Each time he mustered the courage to take a step forward, someone else swooped in, charming you before he could gather the nerve to ask for even a friendly chat.
Well obviously that was no good so he had to intervene.
That's how he found himself spending night after night studying his craft to drive away any possible suitors. He never intended for things to spiral out of control, he was just trying to buy himself some more time until the stars aligned and he could finally ask you out on a date.
What Kun failed to grasp, however, were his master’s warnings. Any magic user knows that the intent behind an incantation wields tremendous power, capable of creating either positive or negative energies. He hadn’t set out to harm but by meddling with forces beyond his comprehension, he risked corruption by his own hand. If he continued down this path of recklessness, his magic would be consumed by darkness and then consume him in return. His longing for you would spiral him into something sinister.
After years of silently watching you, Kun finally summoned the courage to confront you. It was now or never. The banquet was fast approaching, and this would be the perfect opportunity to ask for a dance. He spotted you in the courtyard during mealtime chatting with your friends. You sat beneath a tall, ancient tree, as you unwrapped your lunch, revealing strawberries nestled in cheesecloth.
His heart raced in his chest as he approached your group. He would have been paralyzed with fear, but he had convinced his master to concoct a potion to ease his nerves.
He called out your name, his voice wavering slightly as he caught your attention. You looked up from the strawberries, your smile bright, almost competing with the midday sun. The sight took his breath away, leaving him momentarily speechless.
“I’m not sure if you remember me,” he stammered. “But we had the same swordsmanship class two years ago before you switched out.”
“Is that so? I don’t remember much from swordsmanship class other than the bruised ribs,” you replied, laughter spilling from your lips, causing your friends to erupt in giggles beside you.
Kun laughed nervously along with the group, fidgeting with the raw edges of his tunic between his fingers. “Yeah, you kinda get used to it after a while, huh?”
You chuckled at his response. “I’m glad to finally make your acquaintance, then,” you said. “You know my name, but I apologize, I don’t know yours.”
“I’m Qian Kun, one of Taro’s mages,” he introduced himself, trying to match your bright energy with his own, though he felt his voice hitch slightly in his throat.
“A mage? Tell me, could one mistakenly cast a spell with no knowledge of sorcery?” you asked with an inquisitive tilt of your head. Your eyes sparkled with curiosity, you still had a few suspicions about your unfortunate dates that you had to rule out.
“It’s hard to say, really. I’m sorry I can’t provide a more suitable answer,” he replied, his voice faltering a little at the end.
You pouted with a playful huff. “Well, that’s okay! By the way, you came over here for a purpose, I assume? What was it?”
“Oh, that!” Kun croaked, suddenly remembering he hadn’t approached you for mere idle chit-chat. “The banquet tomorrow… You don’t happen to have a partner for it, do you?”
As the words tumbled out, your friends erupted in a chorus of playful "oohs," nudging and shoving you gently at the news. Kun felt his stomach twist into knots as anxiety flooded his veins as he awaited your response.
Your shoulders tensed, and warmth flooded your cheeks as you struggled to meet his gaze any longer. “I’m sorry, Kun, but someone has already asked me just a while ago.”
At that moment, something within Kun snapped. He forced a smile onto his lips, but it felt impossibly fragile and hollow. “Well, that’s a shame,” he replied, bowing slightly before turning to make his leave. The weight of his disappointment pressing heavily on his chest.
“Kun!” you called out, barely above a whisper, but he kept walking.
It was all pointless. No matter how hard he tried, someone always beat him to the punch. The simmering resentment within him began to swell. He found that he no longer felt any remorse for the petty spells he had cast on your dates. It was all justified, him turning them into frogs, cursing them with warts, or even the whispered enchantments that sent them tumbling down the stairs. His heart clenched painfully, and the magic that coursed through his veins turned cold, colder than it had ever been. It was frigid, like the dark depths of winter.
Tomorrow was the banquet, and he didn’t care that you were taken; he would have you.
Later that night, he marched up to his master's room with determination in his steps. It wasn’t the first time he had borrowed something from Shotaro to strengthen his own magic. His master was a deep sleeper, providing easy access during dark hours. The door creaked as he slipped inside, eyes quickly landing on the book resting on a pedestal before a large window. It was said that magic thrived under the moonlight, and many believed one could sharpen their spellcasting by soaking their spell books in it. Kun closed the book’s pages and lifted it carefully from its spot.
Just as he turned to leave, he was startled to find Shotaro sitting up in his bed.
“I tried to ignore it, but I refuse to be a fool any longer,” Shotaro said. “You’re up to no good, and I can sense it. You’re growing darker. I can feel you freezing over day by day. I had hoped I was wrong, but you’re falling too far.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Kun shot back, his voice flat. “I came to borrow this book for some late night studies.”
“You earn your own spell book. You do not leer from another’s.” Shotaro condemned.
Kun let out a humorless laugh. His eyes were void of emotion. “You have said enough. Now sleep.”
Before Shotaro could react or cast a protection barrier, Kun’s lips had already spoken the words of a sleep incantation. Shotaro's head hit the pillows with a dull thump, and within moments, he was out cold. Kun had at least twenty-four hours before his master would awaken and that was more than enough time for him to do what he needed to do.
—
Tonight was the banquet, and the schoolyard had been transformed into something out of a fairytale. Twinkling lanterns draped from the ancient trees, casting golden hues across everyone who congregated on the grass. Laughter and music filled the air as students danced and swayed to the melodies of lutes and violas.
Kun’s eyes scanned the crowd, but his heart sank when he couldn’t find you. He bit his lip in annoyance. Where could you be? Why were you alone with that scoundrel and away from the festivities?
He searched the school grounds until he spotted you in the garden. Your date was there too, much to Kuns chagrin, and he was plucking a rose to present to you making Kun roll his eyes. He would give you so much more.
He couldn’t hear the conversation you were sharing, but the sight was enough to make him jealous. With a determined stride, he approached the two of you, spellbook in hand, and surprised you both.
“Goodness, Kun! What are you doing here?” you asked incredulously as you pulled away from your date.
There was something different about him tonight. A shadow loomed in his eyes, something dark that made you instinctively cautious.
“What do you want?” your date interjected, annoyance creeping into his voice.
Kun’s eyes turned toward him, the warmth of his gaze replaced by a harsh, icy disdain. “You’re pathetic. You don’t deserve to lay your filthy hands on her. You will never be good enough for her,” he growled.
You took a brave step forward, eyebrows knitted together in annoyance. “And you think you are?”
Kun’s gaze slid back to you, and he tilted his head with a smirk that sent a shiver down your spine. “I’m all you have,” he declared, the ominous undertone of his voice sending alarm bells ringing in your mind.
Before you could question the meaning behind his words, he began to chant, the syllables rolling off his tongue easily. A swirl of purple energy began to cloud around the book, shimmering menacingly as he controlled the magic with a wave of his hand. He stared at you unwaveringly, putting every ounce of his energy behind his spell.
You didn't know much about magic, you had always found spell casting boring, there was too much reading involved. But one thing was clear, there was nothing pure or innocent about the incantation he was casting.
Instinct kicked in. You sprinted toward him as best as you could in your gown and heeled shoes, adrenaline propelling you forward. You threw yourself onto him, and to your surprise, he made no effort to stop you. You both tumbled backward, the spellbook slipping from his grasp and landing on the grass.
Positioned above him, you beat against his shoulders with your fists. “What do you think you're doing? You’re insane!” you yelled, landing a few more frustrated hits to his chest and shoulders. He lay beneath you, unmoving, his hair a tousled mess in his eyes, yet he didn’t divert his gaze from you. A persistent smile played on his lips.
“Are you done?” he asked. "Or better yet, take your time. You look pretty above me"
“Unbelievable!” you huffed, scrambling to your feet and straightening your dress.
You weren’t sure what his spell had done, but you refused to stick around and find out. “Let’s go, Win!” you called out to your date as you walked over to him.
You grabbed his hand, attempting to pull him away, but he didn’t budge. Confusion washed over you as you looked up at his face, searching for clarity in his eyes. “Win, what’s wrong?” you inquired, only to find a vacant stare staring back at you.
“He can’t see you,” Kun informed you as he sat up, brushing the grass from his hair with a casual nonchalance.
“You stole his vision!” you exclaimed, whipping around to face him in fury.
“No,” he corrected. “He can’t see you. No one can.”
The weight of his words hung in the air, and the vibrant sounds of the banquet felt distant. A shiver danced down your spine as dread settled in.
You don't wait for him to explain, you just bolt away. The leather of your shoes slaps rhythmically against the cobblestones as you dash out of the garden and into the main area for the banquet. Couples twirl gracefully around you, the melodic tunes the musicians play on their instruments filling the air with joy as you run and push through the crowd. True to Kun's words, no one seems to notice your presence. It’s like you had become a ghost among the living.
You make a beeline for your group of friends. “Yeri!” you shout, shaking your friend’s shoulders, but she continues to move as if she doesn’t see you. She fills her chalice with punch from the festive table, laughing with your other friend, Joy, who remains blissfully unaware of your frantic attempts to reach them.
You rush toward your favorite instructor, Ms. Huang, calling out her name, your voice straining with urgency, but she doesn’t respond. Tears begin to stream down your cheeks, ruining the lovely makeup you had painstakingly bartered for at last year’s market. This was the first chance you’d had to wear it but now it's ruined.
You step back from the courtyard in disbelief, heart racing. This couldn’t be happening.
“You don’t have to be afraid. If you’re good, I’ll think about undoing it.”
You look up to see Kun making his way through the crowd toward you. You clench the skirt of your dress in your fists before spinning and sprinting into the nearby forest.
Branches whip at your arms as you zip through the trees, thorns nipping at your skin along the way. It’s as if Kun’s voice was a haunting echo in your mind. “Don’t run little fawn, it's only going to make me want to chase you,” he taunts.
But you don’t listen. You push yourself harder, feet pounding against the ground until your lungs burn, but you keep running. You dare a glance behind you. Your heart lurches at what you see. Kun is walking toward you through the trees, but something is off. Reality seems to warp around him, and no matter how fast you run, he gets unnervingly closer.
Frantic, you turn your gaze back to the path, realizing with horror that you’re running in place. You look down and see the lower half of your body clouded in the same swirling purple smoke from Kun’s previous spell.
You curse under your breath and scream.
“Shh, now dear. It’s of no use. There is only me here,” Kun’s voice comes directly behind you, his breath warm against your neck as he perches his chin on your shoulder.
“Undo this!” you grit out through clenched teeth
Kun pulls away and walks in front of you, his expression shifting. “Do you know how long I’ve waited to make you mine? Do you know how many nights I’ve lost sleep, dreaming about what I would finally say to you? And it was all for naught because you still didn’t pick me.”
“I’m sorry, but this is not the way! Do you truly think I will love you now? After all this!” You ask in disbelief.
He tilts his head thoughtfully, then settles on an answer. “But you have no choice.”
“Says who? What are you going to do? Cast a love spell on me?” you fire back, bitterness lacing your words. “You’re pathetic.”
Kun quirks an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing across his face. “I never said that. I want you to love me, it’s true, but I want you to do it of your own accord.”
“Never. Going. To. Happen,” you punctuate each word with venom.
Kun’s smile grows soft with a deceptive charm. “Well, that's too bad, because a kiss between two lovers is the only way to break this curse.” He shrugs playfully. “I mean, I love you, so we’re already halfway there.”
With a wave of his hand, the purple magic around your legs dissipates. You fall to your knees, disbelief crashing over you like a wave.
