Story will be paused for a while.. i don’t like it how it turned out and i have to think about how i can make it better..
I'll re-post 'Rollercoaster' because somehow I don't like the way it got.
(A/n: This does describe what a panic attack feels like so if you get triggered by these types of descriptions please do not read it. I am writing this because this is how the past couple of weeks have been for me so I thought writing it out would help me calm down.)
The loud sounds of roaring fans screaming your name circled around your head. The crowd lit up with green (nct) and yellow (yours) light sticks.
You felt joy overwhelm your body making you unable to stop smiling, until a weird feeling arrived in your body. A pit in your stomach started to form and cramp up your body. At the same time you felt you chest get tighter, making it harder to breathe.
Trying to keep your effortless smile on your face, you knew what was happening. Waving with your left hand as the other slowly wraps around your stomach.
“Are you okay?”
You jump; a little startled due you your anxiety already at max level.
Quickly turning your head in the direction of the voice.
Yukhei was looking down at you.
“I-I um… I f-fine”
You finally stuttered out.
He tilted his head like a confused puppy.
Looking up at him with a fake cheesy smile, you move your hand away from your stomach.
With that he shrugged his shoulders and went back to looking at the audience.
Not even a minute goes by and you felt it getting worse. It was getting harder and harder to breathe, you clench your chest to try and calm yourself (It's not working). You started to feel dizzy and almost lose your balance.
Out of the corner of Yukhei's eye he sees you stumble and quickly grabs you.
“Y/n!”
“I-I, I can't breath.” You say going into more of a panic.
Soon the boys came over and surrounded you to see what was going on.
But it didn't help, it made you more scared.
You started to shake visibly, your chest tightened more and more by the second.
“I'm taking her off the stage”
Yukhei said as he tenderly grabbed your arm and waist for support.
Once you were off stage you were ready to run, but couldn't, ready to take in that deep breath, but struggled. All you could do was hyperventilate, more staff surrounded you causing you breathe faster. You felt your cheeks become damp.
You were crying.
“Give her some space.” Yukhei said in a more worried tone.
With that, they slowly backed away. A medic came over to check on you but, his slight touch scared you and made you cry more.
You were starting to feel light headed, and slowly moved to the ground.
From all the things going on in your head, you tried to remember how to calm yourself. Put one had above and below your stomach, try and take slow breaths, close your eyes.
It's not working. You quickly sit up and start to shake more.
“Can I touch you?”
You turn and see Yukhei sitting next to you.
Hesitantly you nodded your head slightly.
Slowly he helped you up and moved you to a couch.
He sat you down and then moved next to you.
You started to claw the couch still full of fear as more tears stained your face.
He slowly wrapped his arms around you, trying to not scare you anymore.
He could feel how fast you were breathing, how fast your heart beat was, and how much you were shaking. He slowed down his breathing pattern for you to try and follow; whispering to you:
“It's going to be okay, don't worry.”
He slowly tightened his embrace.
“Don't worry, I'm here. It's going to be okay”
Slowly your breathing started to settle, tears still fell and you wrapped your arms around him. Slowly you started to calm down, laying your head on his chest. Feeling it rise and then fall, causing you to fall asleep.
Yukhei looked down to see your now peaceful appearance.
“It's going to be okay.” He said one last time kissing the top of your head.
(A/n: I wanted to make it cute at the end. But some of the things I said are actual ways to try and calm down if you are feeling overwhelmed and think you are close to having or are in the middle of an anxiety/panic attack. I'll explain again:
If you are alone and you are experiencing a panic attack:
Lay on you back and place one hand above and below your stomach or centered (this is to feel it rise and lower, causing your attention to focus on one thing) the breath in 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, let out in 4 seconds. Do it till you feel more calm.
Okay on to if someone else is having a anxiety/panic attack:
Do not approach them abruptly, that can make them more anxious, slowly approach them.
Do not touch them without permission, this can also freak them out. Ask them if you can if they say no, try directing them though the steps from the previous directions. If yes, then proceed, slowly wrap your arms around them (this can give them a feeling of security) change your breathing pattern, this can help them figure out how they are supposed to be breathing. Whisper things of reassuring thoughts like: “It's going to be okay, you are going to be okay.” This could make them feel more at ease, since they are worried about something or overwhelmed. Keep doing that till they show signs of regular breathing patterns.
I personally deal with anxiety and it can get very scary when you are in this type of situation. So just know that you can overcome this, these types of attacks normally happen due to a lot of stress, so please, take breaks when you are feeling fatigued, stressed, and or worried.
I wanted to request an imagine where Yukhei and Y/N are both idols and foreigners. Maybe they comfort each other over homesickness when their group members go home for a Korean holiday and are left alone in the dorms. Btw I think your writing is amazing I love reading it
(A/n: Thank you very much love! I made a couple of changes to the request, but I hope you like it!)

The sound of chatter surrounded you and your group of friends as you were saying your goodbyes.
“Hope you guys have fun!” You say with a big smile.
“I wish we could come with us!” One of your friends says.
“Me too, but I have to stay.” you say with a sad but, reassuring look.
“Now boarding flight 232”
“Time to go.”
You give each of your friends a hug and wish them a safe flight, and they started to walk to their terminal. While you were walking back to your car, it was just you and a tall man next to you in the hallway. Feeling a bit social you tried to start a conversation.
“Did you also drop people off here?”
Not really expecting a conversation he looked over at you.
“I’m sorry what?” he said
“Did you drop anyone off here?”
“Oh yeah, couple of my friends. You?”
“Yeah, dropped of all the girls from y/g/n.”
He quickly turns to look at you again. “Wait, are you y/n!” he said in excitement.
“Mhm.” You hum to him and look up at him with a smile on your face.
“I love your music, I’m actually an artist too.”
“Thank you, and really.” You look at him hoping he was going to talk about it more.
“Yeah, actually the friends I dropped off were from NCT.”
You quickly look back at him and tenderly grab his arm as he removes his mask. “Oh my gosh, you’re Lucas from NCT!” Once you said that, his full smile was formed on his face. “So you know about me too, that’s good.” he chuckled.
You giggle and then he asks why you aren’t joining your friends.
“I couldn’t go.” you say shrugging your shoulders.
“Why’s that?”
“I don’t have my holiday yet. And they were going to visit their families.”
“Why aren’t you going with your friends?” You ask.
“The same as you.”
“Oh right because you are from Hong Kong, right?”
“Yep and I’m assuming you are also not from here.”
“You’re right, do you know where?” You look at him in curiosity
“Hm,” he paused for a long time. “I actually don’t.” He said surprised “Where are you from?”
“I’m from America, since my group is relatively new, I’m not asked questions surrounding my origins.” You say patting the sides of your legs.
You finally get to the parking lot of the airport and get to the cross walk.
“Well it was very nice to meet you Lucas.” You say with your small smile. “It was also very nice to meet you too Y/n and you can call Yukhei.”
“Okay, Yukhei hopefully I’ll see you around and maybe sometime we could hang out.” You say.
“Yeah! That would be cool. Here, why don’t I get your number so we can try and plan something.” He says pulling out his phone from his back pocket.
“I like that idea!” You say giggling, once you both had each others numbers, you wave to him and started to walk to your car.
The very next day you guys went to the little café on the corner by your apartment.
“Did your friends have a nice flight?” He asked as you both stood in line to order.
“Majority of them did, but one of them told me how the person behind her stuck their feet out and hit her elbow.” You said laughing
“That’s funny” he said chuckling along with you.
“How were your friends?” You ask
“They told me that their flight was good, but I do remember Mark telling me that he fell getting out of the plane.” He started to laugh shaking his head.
“Aw, I wish I could have saw that.” You say laughing too
“Me too.”
You both order your drinks and small cakes.
You walk over to a table for two and place the little dishes down.
You ordered the usual, an iced matcha tea and a tiramisu. Yukhei ordered a hot chocolate and vanilla cake.
As the two of you were eating, you would tell each other stories of what you would do when you were younger.
After a couple of stories Yukhei saw you looking down at your drink, stirring the almost nonexistent liquid. “Do you miss it?” He asked calmly.
You look up at him and smile, stretching out your arms. “I do sometimes. I wonder how my old friends are doing, how my family is.”
You pause.
“But, I know that when I get to visit, I’ll miss it here.” You say looking around. “Korea has become my second home. I may not have been living here long but, I’m already attached.”
Once you were done talking you look back at him and smile. “Do you miss Hong Kong?”
“Well of course.” He said “But the way you described everything just now can speak for the both of us.” He said smiling back at you.
When you both finished eating, you cleaned up the table and walked to the door. The wind blew and you quickly wrapped your thin jacket around yourself.
“Cold?” He looked down at you.
You giggled before you spoke “A little.” You said smiling at him.
“Here.” He took off his jacket and handed it to you.
“Won’t you be cold?” you said moving it slightly back towards him.“I’ll be fine.” he said fluffing his hoodie “I have this.”
“Thank you.” You wrap the jacket around yourself ‘warm’ you hum to yourself.
Cherry blossoms fell above as you started walking on a bridge, looking over the rail, your reflection stared back smiling. You look over to your right to see Yukhei looking down with you.
“This reminds me of a place back home.” you say directing your attention back to your reflection.
“I would go to this one pond that had a bridge over the small canal and would always look over the edge so I could see the water.”
Yukhei started to look more in your direction.
“I always loved to see the water trickle down the bridge and hit the water to then create water rings.” You look to the end of the bridge and watch the water slowly fall.
“Is this making you homesick?” He asked no longer looking at your reflection, and now looking at your profile.
“A little but, it’s getting better.” You look at him, still on your tippy toes to lean on the rail.
You push off the rail and start walking down the bridge and he follows.
“So where are we going now?” He asked once you get to the cross walk. “Um… I really don’t know.” You say looking up at him.
“It’s actually getting pretty late and it looks like it’s about to rain, why don’t we call it a day?”
“Okay”
“Here let me walk you home.”
The feeling of a light mist would hit your soft skin causing it to tighten. Clicking of two pairs of shoes were the only things heard on the wet pavement. The reflection of bright lights getting distorted with every step, only a block away from your dorm.
You break the silence.
“Thank you.”
“For what?” He said looking down at you.
“Well, you helped me get over my homesickness.”
“I did, how?”
“I got to relive memories from when I was younger. It feels like, like we grew up together.”
You get to the door of your dorm.
“So I wanted to say thank you for making me feel like I’m home.” You say smiling at him.
“Well, you are welcome.” He said tilting his head forward.
“And thank you.”
“For what?”
“I’m also no longer homesick.”
“Oh well you are very welcome.” You look up and giggle with him.
“Oops, I need to give you your jacket.” you say and start to take it off.
“It’s fine, you can keep it.”
“What, oh no I can’t.”
“No really keep it, maybe it can help you when you feel homesick.” After that you put the jacket back on and waved goodbye.
First, I want to state that I really appreciate the time you put into writing these stories! And can I request a story with Lucas meeting his long lost childhood friend (girl) that he had/still has feelings for. Fluff probably. Thank you so much! 💕
(A/N: Thank you! And I really wanted to write something like this! Also it’s really long… I’m sorry about that. But I hope you enjoy!)

“Oh my god, I’m going to be so late!” You say running down the sidewalk shoving your binder into you bag.
Cold raindrops hit the top of your head as you finally enter the building.
“Why are you so late and why are you wet?” A man said looking at you crossing his arms with a stern yet peaceful look.
“I-I, I-I, oh my gosh,” you say out of breath swaying your body forward with your hands on you knees to help you catch your breath.
“I’m sorry I- I didn’t know where I was going.” You finally say.
“Okay that explains why you’re late but, that doesn’t explain why you’re wet.”
You look down at yourself and see that you are soaked from the rain.
“Oh my.” You say lifting your arms to look at yourself more, “I didn’t have time to grab my umbrella so I got wet in the rain.” You ring out your cardigan and what it would seem like a full glass of water hits the floor. You look up and give a cheesy smile.
“Oh my god, okay come on let’s go get you some dry clothes.”
You were following the tall man to a studio.
“This will be your studio/dressing room, if you need anything just call the staff. I’ll be back with dry clothes.” He said and left you at the door to your room.
A little scared to open the door. Hesitantly you reached for the handle. Once you open the door, you see a large window. Walking to the edge of the window you see the cloudy skies over Cheongdam-dong.
You walk to the computer and connect your phone to the speakers so you could play music. As the music started the rain and the calm music harmonised. You placed your bag on the couch next to the window, then took off your cardigan and draped it on a bar in front of a mirror. Looking around the room, boxes of your stuff from your old studio were stacked on top of a golden trimmed bench.
“Oh here we go.” You say walking toward the stack of boxes.
Standing behind the door with a box in your hands, the door swung open knocking you down to the floor.
“Ah!”
Some of your stuff goes flying around the room and the person quickly goes to help you up.
“Oh my god! I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you!” A deep tone said, as he reaches out to grab your arm.
“Don’t worry I shouldn’t have been in front of the door.” Grabbing the guys hand and pulling yourself up. You try to dust yourself off but, didn’t end up working because your clothes were still damp. You quickly grab your necklace to check if it was still there.
“Okay good.” You say with a sigh of relief.
“Here.” The tall man said shoving a big hoodie and basketball shorts in front of your face.
“Oh thank you” you grab the hoodie and shorts and before you could say anything else he left the room.
You place the hoodie and shorts on the couch. Looking at the clothes you realise the shorts would be too big. Going to your bag you found what you were looking for.
“Here they are.” Pulling out an extra pair of black leggings. You walk over to the closed off side of the studio to change your pants. Luckily your tank didn’t get wet so you walk back to the couch to grab the hoodie. Once you put it on you look in the mirror and start to laugh.
“Why is this so big?” You were practically swimming in the soft brown colored hoodie. When you were done laughing at the abnormally sized hoodie, you pull your necklace out and went back to pick up the stuff that fell out of the box.
(Pov change):
“No way it can’t be”
Putting his hands of the top of his head as he started to question.
“It can’t be her. Why am I like this?”
“Lucas!”
His head abruptly rises to see who was calling his name.
“Woah dude, are you alright?” His friend asked him with a smirk and small chuckle.
“Yeah, I’m fine. What do you need Mark?” He said still a little distracted.
“Well, Doyoung wanted to know if you gave the new girl, what was her name… Oh right! Y/n. Did you give Y/n your clothes?”
“I did, don’t worry.” He said now rubbing the back of his neck.
“Are you sure you’re alright, you look like you saw a ghost.” Mark said now laughing a little more.
Before he speaks he sighs and looks at the ground, “It feels like I saw a ghost.”
“Wait, what do you mean?” Showing a little more concern toward Lucas.
“Well, it’s just,” struggling to even say the words, he leans to rest his back on the wall.
“It’s just…” Mark says motioning his hands to have him continue.
“It’s just I saw someone that I thought I would never see again.”
“Really, who?” “The new girl…” He said looking in the direction of your studio.
“Really!” Mark said loudly in shock.
“But, I thought Y/n came from America.” Mark then said.
“She did.” He said looking back at Mark.
“Then how could you know her?”
“Before she lived in America, Y/n lived in Hong Kong and she was my neighbor.”
He paused and started to fiddle with his hands, then he continued.
“When they moved in, our parents became close. Around three weeks later we invited them over for dinner and they brought Y/n, soon we became really good friends.”
“She and I would hang out everyday, before school, during, after, we were inseparable.” Looking down, a smile started to develop on his face.
“But” Mark said
“But then she had to move, her dad ended up getting a job in America. I still remember the day we found out.” His smile slowly started to fade away.“We were told after school and when I looked at her she just sat there.” (flashback)
“A little after we were told the news, we went to the park and sat on the swings. She wouldn’t stop looking at me, so I asked her if there was anything on my face. And she looked at me and said
‘No’
‘Then what is it?’
‘I just want to remember your face, all the little details that I always loved.’
You looked at all his features but, his soft brown eyes were what you looked at the most.
(end of flashback)
He sighed, “On that day I realised that I had feelings for her but, the thing is I alway knew, I was just to scared to tell her. I was going to tell her how I felt at that moment, but we had to leave so she could start packing.”
“Then when she was leaving for the airport, she looked excited and I didn’t want to ruin anything so I didn’t say anything. We kept in contact for a couple of months but, then we, we just stopped talking.” Putting his hands in and out of his pockets
“How old were you guys?” Mark asked
“I was 15 and she was 14.”
“But I still can’t believe this.” His smile returning.
“What?” Mark asked curiously.
“She is still wearing the necklace I gave her the day she left.” He said grabbing his chain around his neck and smiling at it.
“We both have.”
“Well what are you going to do?” Mark asked
“I don’t know.”
“Well didn’t you just see her?”
“I accidentally hit her with the door and then bolted out when I gave her the clothes…” He in a much faster and softer tone.
Mark smacks his forehead. “Really dude.”
Lucas nods his head. “What should I do?”
“I don’t know, get her her favorite food maybe, or flowers as a congratulations gift. Then you can see if she will recognize you.” Mark said shrugging his shoulders.
“Okay, I’ll do that. Thanks!” Lucas said and started to run out of the building to get your favorite food.
(Your pov):
“Finally!” You say when you emptied the last box. You sat at your desk and looked out your window again, closing your eyes to hear the rain drum off the window. With your eyes still closed you grab your necklace again. “I still miss you, I hope you know that.” Soon after there was a knock at your door. You get up to open the door to see the same tall figure from before, now covering his face with a mask and a take out bag.
“Hello” You say with a smile.
“Hi” he said still hiding behind the bag. “Here, a congratulations gift ” he said shoving the food in front of your face.
You take the bag from him and walk to place it on the desk.
“From what it looks like you bought a lot of food, would care to join me to celebrate?” You turn back around to look at him, to then see he was looking around your studio. You do a small smile and shake your head. ‘I’m taking that as a yes’ you say to yourself.
Soon you started to take everything out of the bag and when you were about to open one of the boxes, you noticed the man was looking at something, you slightly lean back to see what he was looking at and it was a picture, a picture of you and Yukhei.
“I see you’ve noticed my decor.” You say as you continue setting the table. “The picture you are looking at is of my friend and I, when I left for America.”
“Beautiful necklace you are wearing in this picture.” He said still looking at the picture.
You pause
“He gave me this necklace that day, and I wear it everyday to remind me that he is still [hopefully] supporting me. I gave him one also, a gold chain.”
You pause again now putting weight on your right hand to lean on the table, and the other fiddling with your necklace. “I hope he still wears it.”
You shake your head to try and not think of him. “Okay let’s see what you got for us to eat shall we.”
You open the box and gasp loudly and practically scream.
The man turns quickly.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m okay. It’s just these are my favorite foods, and I haven’t had these since I left Hong Kong.” You say bursting with joy.
You turn to him with your full smile and look into his eyes.
“My question is, how did you know these were my favorite?” You say still looking into his eyes.
“I uh, guessed.” He said rubbing the back of his neck.
“Really, okay. Well let’s eat then.” You turn away from him to sit down and he moves to sit in front of you.
Hesitantly he starts to take off his mask, once he finally does you start to offer him food. At first it was very clear he was expecting a different response, but still continued.
There was very little conversation between you two, the only sound that was present was the echo of the rain bouncing off the windows and the calm music from before.
When you both were finished eating, you got up to look out the window. “It’s funny, I always hated it when it rained but when I was little, I always told myself that the person I loved would help me love the rain. When I met him I truly started to love the rain but, once I left my disliking of rain came back. But this is the funny part.”
You pause
And Yukhei looks up at you.
“My love for the rain has come back.” You say and turn to look at Yukhei.
He stands and starts to walk over to you.
You could feel your eyes start to burn and your cheeks get wet as you started to cry.
“I’ve missed you so much Yukhei.” You say as you run into his arms.
Holding onto you tight he whispered, “I thought you didn’t recognise me.”
“How could I not recognise my favorite detail about you.” You say looking into his soft brown eyes.
“I’ve been waiting so long to tell you this.”
He said breaking the hug, wiping your tears he looks into your eyes.
“I love you Y/n, I have loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you.”
And with that he leaned in a gave you a kiss.
You break the kiss and admire is soft brown eyes, “And I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you.”
You both giggle at the cheesy words to end with another kiss.
(A/n: I’m sorry that I made it really long, but again I hope you enjoyed it!)
hi it's me again😂 can i please have a lucas request where his girlfriend is feeling really sick and he has a scheduled v live that he can not miss so his girlfriend sits next to him the entire duration of live and cuddles him and every now and then he whispers to her to ask if she is okay and gives her a kiss because she finds it comforting and the fans react because they have never seen lucas that calm before. sorry if this was messy thank youuuu xx
(A/n: This works perfectly because I’ve been sick for a little while. I’m probably going to go off of my experience so far and in the end I might’ve rambled a bit but, it’s cute and it’s 1 am right now. So I hope you enjoy!)
(It’s also very short word count: 390)
It was around 6 o’clock at night and Yukhei had a scheduled vlive to do in 15 minutes. He decided to come over to your place because you told him you weren’t feeling well and be wanted to take care of you.
He was sitting on the couch setting up the camera and starting the live.
“Okay here we go man!” He said in excitement. “Let’s just wait for more people before I start.” As soon as he said that you walk in, with a blanket wrapped around you to make you look like E.T. Yukhei watched you as you stumbled to the kitchen to get water, with sniffles leading your path.
“One second,” yukhei said to the camera as he got up from the couch to direct you out of the kitchen. Without questioning why he moved you, you stood there in pain. Yukhei came back with a hot cup of tea and moved you to the couch so you could sit with him while he was live.
Trying to make you as comfortable as possible he spent nearly 5 minutes, setting up pillows and extra blankets for you to lay on and cuddle with. Once he was finished, he sat down and pulled you to sit next to him. Tenderly, he laid your head on his lap to make you even more comfortable.
During the duration of the live, he would look down at you and ask you how you were doing or if you needed anything. You would look up at him with a reassuring smile and put your hand on his cheek telling him that you were fine and what he was already doing helped enough. He would lean down and kiss your temples to help with your headache, rubbing your back to sooth the pain, and play with your hair to make you fall asleep.
The fans were a little taken back by this new nature Yukhei was showing, he wasn’t as hyper as he normally is in the lives with everyone else. He was more, calm.
The fans didn’t really know how to respond to his new actions but, he didn’t care. All he cared about was you. Looking down at you again to see you sleeping gracefully on his legs, holding onto his hand as the other still plays with you hair.
(A/n: Hello strangers its been awhile… I apologize. My writers block was awful for the longest time which is why I have haven’t published anything and I didn’t feel too confident with my writing. But I’m back for a little while.
With this story being so long I had a friend of mine help me edit it so I want to give her some credit to the writing Beta Reader: Lili. Okay let us get into this story.
Again it is long… I’m sorry…)

The sound of rain bounced off the car windows.
“Gosh it's still pouring.” you said, your face pressed against the cold back seat window.
You look down at your phone
4:27pm
“I'm going to cancel practice, it's raining to hard” you go to your messages.
‘Hey guys I'm going cancel practice today, stay safe and warm!’
Sent 4:30pm
You then changed the location of your destination to your apartment.
The cab stops in front of your complex and you moved forward to pay the driver. Once you closed the car door you ran inside.
Hanging up your jacket and bags, you go and change into an oversized hoodie and shorts.
“I should probably work on some homework.” you say walking around looking for your bag.
While you were doing your school work, your phone started ringing. You put your pencil down and grab your phone.
5:30pm
~Go grocery shopping~
“Aw man” you tilt your head back and hop off the couch. Looking out the window, the dove gray skies still hovered over the town.
You change into leggings and grab your keys.
The crisp cool breeze flew in contact of your skin underneath the hoodie. Light droplets of water drummed off the outstretched fabric as you pull your wallet closer to your chest for warmth.
~Ding~
As the shop door closes behind you, you close your umbrella and grab a basket, pulling out a list of things you need.
“Hello~” the cashier exclaims
“Hi, how are you?” you ask.
“I'm doing well today, the weather's been crazy lately!”
~Ding~
The bell on the door rings again.
“Oh sorry” you say moving a little out of the way.
“My gosh I know” you exclaim, finishing your previous conversation with the cashier
“Well let me know if you need anything!”
“Will do, thank you!”
Walking from aisle to aisle you grabbed what you needed. Almond milk, tofu, chili paste, kimchi, and a couple other things. Maybe even a cookie.
Looking in your basket you checked off all the things you needed.
Shrugging your shoulders “I think I'll get that cookie” You said to yourself.
You get to the last aisle and search for the cookies. Only to look up and see that the ones you wanted were at the top of the shelf.
“Aw man.” You put down your basket next to you and start to jump reaching for the cookie.
“Dang” You said.
You lift up one foot to the shelf.
“Do you need help?” A man said, you could sense the smirk on his face as he looked at you.
“Let me try first then we'll see” you said being stubborn to keep you independence.
“Okay.” The man said taking a slight step back.
You reach for it again and again but, you're to short. In defeat you slowly climb down and look to the ground.
“C-can you help me?” You say finally.
“Of course I can, which would you like?” he said with a little more sophisticated tone (joking of course).
You looked back up at your options and pointed to the one you wanted as if you were a little kid.
“The birthday cake one” You said hopping up and down with excitement.
“Cute~” He said under his breath
“hm~” You said still looking at the cookie
“One birthday cake cookie coming right up.” He said, reaching up with ease.
Once he handed you the cookie, you looked at him to thank him, but then you recognized him.
“Yukhei!” You said a little surprised.
“Hi~” He said waving in response.
“What are you doing here, are you following me?”
“What, no. I just got off of work and came here to get some food.”
You looked him up and down noticing he’s not carrying any food.
“You aren't holding any food.”
“That's because right when I walked in I saw you struggling, so I came to help you.”
“Oh, okay. Makes sense.” You then remembered that you were going to be making dinner soon.
“Hey do you want to come over and have dinner since you haven't eaten yet. I was going to be cooking once I got home.” You said with the same small smile.
A little taken back by your smile and offer, he stuttered.
“Ar-are you sure?” he said rubbing the back of his neck.
“Yeah! I always make to much food when ever I'm cooking and you said you haven't eaten yet so I just thought. But if you can't then it's-”
“I would love to!” he said cutting you off.
“Oh! Okay!” As your smile grew bigger on your face and you both walked to the check out, and soon left the grocery store.
As you were walking to your complex the rain had died down and only trickles of water could be heard hitting the ground.
“How far is your apartment?”
“Only one more block.” You said looking up at him.
As you continued to walk you felt an unsteady presents around you. You stopped and started to look around.
“Are you okay?” Yukhei said looking at you.
You looked around one more time till you realized how long you were standing there.
“Hm? Oh uh yeah I'm fine, I just thought I heard something.” You said starting your steady pace again.
“Okay?” Yukhei said now looking around to see if he could find anything.
Finally you get to your apartment and open the door to let him in. It was decorated very modern with a boho twist and plants, everywhere.
“The plants are fake, by the way.” You said putting stuff down in the kitchen.
“How'd you know I was going to ask that?”
“You've been staring at all of them. I just figured.” Yukhei nodded his head slightly with an ‘Oh, alright’ look on his face. Taking off his shoes he started to look around your apartment
As he looked around, he soon found a shelf filled with framed photos. He saw one of you when you were a toddler holding a fish the size of you.
“Cute~” He said looking at the photo.
He straightened his stance to walk back over to you, till another photo caught his eye.
It was of you and some guy hugging each other at what seems to be your graduation.
Once you were done getting all the cooking ingredients out, you looked across the room to see Yukhei looking at the picture. You walk over.
“Ah I remember that day.”
Startled the six foot man making him jump slightly.
“Did I scare you?” You ask.
“What no…” He said in a high pitched voice, focusing back at the picture.
“Is that your boyfriend” He asked
You look back at the picture.
“Ha! no, that's my brother, boyfriend haha.”
You walked away laughing.
“I might as well have you help since you’re here, so can you make the rice?”
He peeled himself away from the photos and walked into the kitchen.
“Sure” He then starts to wash the rice as you warm the pan, to sauté the vegetables.
“Do you cook a lot?” He asks
“Yeah, it gives me a sense of home. What about you?”
“Every now and then; majority of the time the kitchen is too crowded as other people are cooking dinner.”
He puts the rice in the cooker and then leans back on the counter.
“But when I have the time I make a mean ramen.” He said poking the side of your arm.
You chuckled at his response
He smiled with a sense of satisfaction.
“Oh do you, well we’ll have to see about that.”
“Are you challenging me?” He asked.
“Maybe, but that will have to be another time.
(Another time? What do I mean by another time?)
Yukhei's face contorted with excitement and confusion (‘Did she say another time?’).
A weird tension grew between the two of you, not an awkward tension but more of a comforting tension.
“Okay!” You say breaking the silence.
“Is there anything else I need to do?” he asked.
“From what it looks like no, so you can just hang out food will be ready soon.”
With that Yukhei left the kitchen only to sit at the counter next to it.
As you continued cooking he watched every little move you did. How you would toss everything in the pan with your left hand and then mix with your right. How delicate you were when adding new ingredients. How strands of you hair slowly loosened from your messy bun, as it hung in front of your face. He still didn't understand why he was so drawn to you, but he just felt if he looked away just once he would miss something important.
While you were mixing you turned to look at him and noticed he was starring.
“What?” You said with your small smile, tucking the lose hairs behind your ear.
He felt his heartbeat faster,
“Oh nothing” he said waving it off
“Are you sure~” You looked at him more closely.
“I'm sure~” he said nodding his head
“Okay~ food’s ready!”
The fragrance of the apartment was deliciously sweet yet spicy. Yukhei's eyes looked over the dish as you brought it over to the table as steam slowly followed.
Once the table was fully set up he moved over and sat down.
“Ready?” You exclaimed as you uncovered the delicious dishes.
Yukhei nodded his head vigorously with excitement.
You lifted the cover and a cloud of steam rose, bubbling could still be heard from the bowl and the smell only became more prominent.
“Ta da!” You said motioning a quick movement to create a dramatic effect, only to giggle at the end of it.
“Oh my god! This looks so good!” he said with his big smile plastered on his face.
You started to plate the dish and handed Yukhei his bowl. He was eager to try it but, wanted to wait for you. As he waited the sweet and savory smell caused him to drool.
“Okay, I want you to try it first” you said lightly putting down your bowl.
With that he quickly took a hardy bite; as his eyes rolled to the back of his head.
“Mmm!” he said going for another bite.
“You like it” you asked with a big smile on your face.
“It's so good what is it!” he asked with his mouth full.
You laughed at the sight you had in front of you covering your mouth.
“It's Mabo tofu with bulgogi but in a soup form.” You said still giggling
“Wah so good!”
“I'm glad you like it” you smiled as you began to eat your food.
With every bite, he made a noise and with every noise you would laugh.
For the majority of dinner the two of you were to focused on eating to talk with one another. When you both finished eating Yukhei suddenly breaks the silence.
“I have a question.” Yukhei asked asks, slowly putting his bowl down.
“Yes?” You question as you look up from the table.
“What's your job? like where do you work?”
“Oh?” You exclaim, surprised that you had forgotten “Did I not tell you?”
Yukhei shook his head no.
“Well” You start, putting down your chopsticks “I'm a dance teacher.”
Yukhei's eyes widen
“Really?!”
You start to giggle and nod your head.
“Really”
“How long have you been teaching?”
“Um…” You say lacing your fingers together; looking up to the sky to find your answer.
“About 3 years. I've been doing it since I was 15.”
Yukhei's eyes got even wider; to the point of him looking almost like a bug (‘She's 18’ He remembers).
“So how long have you been dancing?” He asks
“Almost 15 years, but the crazy thing is I just got an offer to choreograph idols!” You exclaim; jumping up and down waving your hands in front of your chest.
After you said that he didn't know how to react.
“W-wow” Was all he could say
“It's a dream come true!” You said with a big smile plastered on your face.
“Uh, do you know who you'll be working with?” He asked, fiddling with his fingers.
“No not yet, they said that I should know by next week.”
While processing your answer he starts to nod his head and slowly look around.
(‘Why is he acting different now?’)
“What's your jo-"
“Oh! Look at the time! ” He exclaimed “ I have to go.” He said cutting you off.
“Oh, uh, okay?” You question, slowly getting up to bring the dishes back to the kitchen.
Before you could grab anything from the table Yukhei had already taken them to the counter.
(‘What has gotten into him?’)
“Are you alright, is everything okay?” You ask cautiously walking towards him.
“Y-yeah everything is fin-" He stutters; almost as if he’s out of breath. Before he could finish his sentence you tenderly place your hand on his forearm to try and calm him down.
Yukhei looked down to be met with your doe like eyes.
“Is everything alright?”
He takes a deep breath, smiles, and nods.
“Don't worry, everything is fine, I just need to get home and get some sleep.”
You stare at him deeply with a look of uncertainty
“Okay... well at least let me give you the leftovers so you can give Mark and Taeyong some.”
You say, slowly taking your hand off of his arm.
“You don't need to do that, they'll be fine.”
You were already behind the counter grabbing the containers.
“But I want to. Also you'll get to have some, as you clearly loved it.” You say with a calm smile and a small wink.
“But”
“No buts.”
With a sigh of defeat, he walks over to help you.
Ten minutes pass and you finished packing the food and cleaning the dishes.
The food took up four medium sized containers.
“Okay these are ready to go.” You said placing the bag of food by the door.
“Do you just want to place them in the fridge?” He asked
“I thought you said you had to go?” You questioned
“I found out it wasn’t anything important, but I can go if you would like.”
You look at the time
7:25pm
“How about you stay for a bit. I still need to find out what your job is.”
You winked, walking back to the kitchen to put the food in the fridge.
(‘Where is this confidence coming from?’)
~Ding~
Yukhei took out his phone to see who texted him.
Fat Kun (Yukheis phone):
‘Lucas when are you coming back we have an early practice tomorrow remember.’
7:26pm
Lucas (Kuns phone):
‘Okay, I’ll come back now.’
7:28pm
Fat Kun (Yukheis phone):
‘Okay well hurry it’s already 7:30’
7:30pm
Lucas (Kuns phone):
‘Okay be there in like 30 minutes,Oh and I have food for tomorrow’
7:32pm
Yukhei puts his phone in his back pocket and looked at you and smiled.
You were reaching for a mug at the top shelf murmuring on why you put it up so high.
You lifted up your leg to climb onto the counter but before you could Yukhei grabbed it.
“Here you go” He said as he handed you the yellow mug
“Thank you, do you want some tea?” You ask as you went to turn on the kettle
He let out a sigh.
“Sorry I can’t, I have to go.”
“Aw why, can’t you stay for a little longer?” You protest
“As much as I want to, I have to get up early tomorrow.” He said frowning.
“Okay.” You say as you slowly make your way to the fridge.
Walking Yukhei to the door, you handed him the food.
“Thank you for having dinner with me.” You said with a small shy smile.
“Cute~” He sighed under his breath.
“What?” You question looking up at him.
“Oh, uh just thank you for having me, I had fun” He said tightening his grip on the bag.
“I did too, we need to do this again, and then we can really see who’s the best at making ramen.” You say with a smug look on your face.
Causing the both of you to laugh.
As he waved goodbye and started to walk away you shouted; “Text me when you get home, okay!” Hopefully loud enough to where he could hear you.
“I will!” He said waving “Bye!”
“Bye!” You said slowly closing your door.
Your smile was plastered on your face as you felt your cheeks become warm to the touch.
“Ah I’m so happy!” You said pressing your cheeks with your hands as you went to work on homework.
As Yukhei walked back to his dorm he felt the light mist of the rain come in contact with his face.
Looking up at to the sky a full smile started to appear on his face, causing him to smile like an idiot.
“Ah so happy!” He exclaimed opening the door to his complex.
You were sitting on the couch, diligently working on a paper; when suddenly your phone goes off
~Ding~

You went to place your phone back on the couch but it went off again.
“Ash I told this boy to go to sleep”
You look at your phone.
Mr. Boss Man [Mr.Hyunjoon] (Y/ns phone):
‘Hey Y/n! You’ll actually be starting tomorrow’
‘Here’s the address *****’
‘Your class will start at 8:30 in the morning’

“Okay, I guess it’s time for bed.” You sigh slowly getting off the couch, to pack your bag for tomorrow.
