A/N: there is a part 2 to this!! Kit will be writing that, but this is just a headcanon on how these two would care for you while you’re sick. Send a request if you want to!!
*gifs not mine*
Finn (Star Wars)
Finn is lowkey clueless af sometimes
that being said, i don’t think storm troopers actually get sick???? (don’t quote me on this)
like they get injuries and die obvi, but i don’t think illness is their number one cause of death
if you do get sick, it’ll probably be from a mission you, him, poe, and chewy had went on where the planet was always below 20 degrees (-6 degrees celsius)
safe to say that you got sick off your ASS
poe also got sick and chewy took care of him
but anyways yeah, you were out bad
i’m talking chills, high fevers, runny nose, wheezing, dry coughs, aches, and headaches
there was a point where finn thought you were going to die. (overdramatic af)
Rey had to assure him that you weren’t going to die and that it was just a simple cold
luckily the resistance had supplies and allies, so that whatever they didn’t have they knew someone who did
Finn tried his best to keep it together, like i said, the most sickness he’d probably ever experienced was allergies or running a fever after getting a small infection from an injury
he would make you bone soup 24/7 and have you take your medicine on time, every time, once he got his life together
he’d stay in your room, preferably on the floor because he really didn’t wanna get sick
would massage your body whenever the aches got really bad
would sometimes help you bathe if you couldn’t yourself
Finn has a nice singing voice, so on nights where you couldn’t sleep right away he would sing you some song he heard from poe
or make up his own
100% makes up his own
he’d make jokes that were terrible and tell you funny stories about his time as a stormtrooper just to make you smile
once you do start feeling better, he would still make sure you stayed on top of your medicine until you were symptom free
all in all, Finn would stumble at first but eventually end up doing a very great job at taking care of you
until he got sick himself for not properly distancing himself and that was hell in itself
Shownu (Monsta X)
shownu is a gentle man, idgaf what anyone says!!!
he knows what it’s like to be sick, as well as taking care of the sick so he’s pretty solid.
when you get sick, shownu isn’t going to be the type to freak out. he will, however, be worried about your wellbeing
you got sick from the changing weather in South Korea, having just moved there a couple of months ago
it all started with a couple of sneezes here and there with you blaming them on allergies
then it escalated to pains in your face, fatigue, fever, and congestion.
long story short, you had a sinus infection
coulda sworn your life was ending but then changkyun was there to bring you back to earth with a nonchalant “no you’re not. stop being dramatic.”
which earned a glare from you and a sharp slap to his head from shownu
shownu would try to keep up with your medication, but i think he would occasionally forget. especially if he’s doing work w/ the boys
but that’s ok because you would be capable enough to take care of yourself on your own
he would probably quarantine from you, staying in the dorms for the most part but making sure to stop by your place to check on you.
this is simply because he’s a leader of one of the most popular k-pop groups in the world. getting sick is not an option
would probably write a sick note to your job to let them know what was going on
would also go with you to doctor’s appointments. especially the ones where they change your medication or lessen it so that he knows what to do
definitely comes over to make bean sprout soup and that’s the only thing you eat
unless you make something for yourself or have one of the guys drop you off takeout
while he’s there, he’d draw you warm baths to help ease your aches and clear your sinuses
him telling you about his day, in detail, because you insist and you aren’t able to go out anyways
shownu totally sends you videos of him and the boys all day so that you’re entertained
will drop any and everything if you call him crying, frustrated because your body hurts and because the child lock on the medicine is being a bitch
expect bedtime stories via facetime if you can’t find sleep like you need to
overall, showu is the type of boyfriend to keep his distance but still take amazing care of you while sick.
Synopsis: Accepting an invitation to a Halloween beach party, Y/N tags along with her best friend. There, she meets a young man with whom she hits it off with right away. But he is not all that he seems.
“Your cup’s almost empty!” her friend exclaimed in mock horror as she eyeballed Y/N’s cup. “Lemme get you a refill right quick.”
“No, no. I’m goo-.” Ignoring YN’s protests she snatched the cup and sauntered off, a little bit wobbly on her legs. “Aish, Lucy!” Y/N sighed.
It was Friday night and they were mingling at a beach house party. It was a tradition that had started a few years ago. The weekend nearest Halloween, a group of friends would rent a beach house and any one was welcome to come and party for two nights. Lucy and Y/N had gone each year, though they always rented their own space within walking distance.
She wasn’t much of a drinker and went mostly because Lucy insisted. Lucy was the outgoing, dancing till her feet gave out, and drinking til she puked kinda gal, while Y/N… Well, she preferred staying outside the edge of all the hoopla.
Leaning over to take a peek towards the kitchen, Y/N could see Lucy there pouring (mostly spilling, really) various liquors into her solo cup. Shaking her head, she scurried towards the sliding doors and escaped out into the night.
This was Florida. Though it was fall, it was the perfect time and weather to be there at the beach. October still offered warm days and just slightly cool nights. As she shut the door, muting the music and chatter, she headed down the deck, skirting past several couples making out.
Reaching the end of the plank way, she pulled off her shoes and sighed blissfully as the ocean breeze whispered through her hair and her toes sunk into the sugary soft sand. The roar of the ocean waves crashing on the shore blocked the noise from the party going on a few yards behind her. A fire pit had been lit not too far from the shore and there were a few people there roasting marshmallows and hanging out. Angling away from them, Y/N found an empty lounge chair and sat, dropping her shoes beside her.
Leaning back, she gazed up at the inky blackness above her, awestruck by the vast amount of stars she could see. It was truly amazing how many we really don’t see because of the city lights.
“This seat taken?”
Jumping at the unexpected voice intruding her thoughts, Y/N laughed, a slight tremble audible in the timbre.
Shaking her head, her voice faltered as her gaze drifted up, up, way up into the face of the stranger beside her, “N-No. Take it if you want.”
Lord, he had to be the most gorgeous person she had ever seen. There was an almost androgynous look to his features that made his appearance all the more beautiful.
“Well, actually, I was wondering if I could sit here with you,” he smiled broadly at her.
Eyes widening in surprise, Y/N swallowed hard, trying to moisten her throat that had suddenly gone bone dry.
“Uhm, yeah. Sure. Go ahead.”
Drawing her legs up, she wrapped her arms around them and tried to focus on the waves smashing onto the shore in front of her. The silvery moon’s reflection caused the ocean to glitter like sparkling diamonds...and the view helped calm her nerves. She was not used to talking to anyone as attractive as him and prayed she would not make a fool of herself.
“I’m Minhyuk, by the way.”
Turning to face him, she saw the outstretched hand peeking out of the oversized light brown sweat shirt. The digits were long, thin, and almost delicate looking. She slid her hand into his, watching how his warm fingers wrapped around her own. His grip was firm, telling her he was not a frail, weak man whatsoever.
She swallowed thickly, forcing her eyes from their joined hands and up to his face. A mischievous grin played on his pretty lips yet again. There was something there in those dark sparkling eyes. Like he knew something she didn’t.
“Y/N,” she finally replied.
“Nice to meet you, Y/N.” Gently slipping his hand out of hers, he settled back in his own chair. With his fingers laced behind his head, he crossed his legs at his ankles and turned to look out at the very waters she’d been taking in moments before. “I haven’t seen you here before. Do you live around here?”
With his eyes no longer on her, she could feel herself relax a tiny bit. She sat cross-legged now hands on her knees.
“No, I live about three hours from here. I’m only here for the weekend.”
“I see.”
“What about you?”
He chuckled softly, “I live near the water's edge.”
“That must be nice, living so close to the ocean,” Y/N sighed. “I have to drive a ways to get to any beach.”
“It is magical living near the water,” he smiled over at Y/N. Smile widening, he sat up, “You want to dance?”
Caught off guard, Y/N swiveled and placed her feet on the sand as she repeated, “Dance?”
“Yeah,” he pointed with his chin towards the group that was around the fire pit.
She’d been so enthralled by Minhyuk that she hadn’t even noticed that the group had started playing music. Now it was plain as day as the beats and lyrics flowed over on the wind. She instantly felt her cheeks burn.
“Uhm…”
He stood and offered a hand to her. Only hesitating a moment, she let him lift her up from her chair and into his arms. One of his hands slid down to her waist, while the other that held her hand didn’t let go. Instead he held it against his heart.
He began to move to the music. The movements were so sensual that she found it was becoming difficult to breathe. She let him guide her and soon they were moving together. As the music transitioned to something slower, he slid his other hand to her waist and pulled her closer. He then began to sing along softly and her eyes widened as she leaned her face back to watch his lips follow along with the lyrics. The melodic tone that slid passed his perfect lips had her mesmerized. A gorgeous man that could dance and sing?
“You ok?” he chuckled like he knew exactly how frazzled he had her.
Cheeks flushing with heat again, she ducked her head, shyly replying, “Yes.”
“You’re so beautiful with those rosy cheeks,” he laughed as he lifted her chin with his fingers.
“Stop,” she glared playfully at him.
And those enchanting eyes of his glittered, reflecting the moonlight and the flames of the fire pit and she felt herself falling into their spell. She didn’t resist when he leaned forward. Y/N actually held her breath in anticipation, then released it only slightly disappointed when he bypassed her mouth. His lips pressed a tender kiss to her cheek and her heart danced a rapid beat beneath her ribs.
“I’m glad I met you tonight, Y/N,” Minhyuk whispered.
Y/N opened her mouth to reply, but the sound of her name being called loudly from a bit behind her had her spinning around and out of his hold. There she found Lucy trying to walk through the powdery sand with her heels on.
“There you are!” Lucy huffed in annoyance. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”
Turning back around to apologize, again Y/N found herself shutting her mouth, left without words. Minhyuk was no longer there. Disheartened to see he’d left without even saying good-bye, she returned her attention to her friend.
“I think it’s time to go,” Y/N sighed heavily as she snatched up her shoes and hurried to her friend.
She took one more wistful look behind her, but only found the cresting waves rippling in the distance.
.·:*¨¨*:·. .·:*¨¨*:·.
Lucy and Y/N stood in their motel room bathroom trying to get ready as quickly as possible. It was Halloween night and they were dressing up in costumes for the party. Lucy had chosen a sexy nurse outfit and had her face in the mirror adding large lashes to accentuate the bright blue glittering eyeshadow she wore.
With emerald green scale-patterned tights and a brown corset style top, Y/N was going for a rebel style mermaid look. She let her hair loose, adding a few thin braids and some shells randomly through her locks. Her makeup was light and natural looking, but she lathered on glittery lotion to any exposed skin and also added glitter hairspray to her hair to give off a magical appearance.
“Ready?” Lucy asked as she smacked her lips then dabbed at the corners of her mouth with her pinky.
“Yep. Let’s go.”
Slipping her feet into a pair of dark brown beach sandals Y/N opened the door, holding it open for Lucy.
Scrunching her nose, Lucy looked down at her best friend’s feet.
“Seriously?”
“What?” Y/N asked innocently. “I’m choosing comfort.”
Lucy sighed heavily, but didn’t say anything else as they walked out into the late evening. Much like the night before there was a soft ocean breeze that carried on it the scent of sea salt and a bit of coolness from the chilled waters. The moon was on its way to reaching its highest peak though it barely provided any brightness to mark their way.
Sliding her phone from her waist band, Y/N brought up the flashlight app and lit the way to the beach house. They could already make out the fairy lights that had been strung around, the lights varying from amber, purple and green to keep with the Halloween theme. The bass could be heard over the crashing waves and Lucy’s steps quickened.
“Come on, Y/N,” she urged. “The party is already well on its way!”
“I’m going, I’m going!” Y/N huffed, but stepped up her pace to match her friend’s.
It wasn’t long before they reached the plank way that led up to the deck. Tonight the outside area was just as filled with people as the inside. Looking around as they meandered through the crowd, Y/N found it difficult to determine who was who as just about everyone was in a costume. The costumes ranged from vampires to dead brides to zombies.
Lucy!” they both turned as a tall male called out her name when they stepped into the kitchen.
It was Frankenstein, green paint and everything. Judging by his height, this was the guy Lucy had been with most of the night, the previous day.
“Jeriko!” she hollered back with a pleased laugh before giving him a brief hug.
She took the drink he offered her.
“Hey, Y/N,” he offered her a nod. “Nice outfits ladies.”
“Thanks,” they replied in unison, then burst into giggles.
“Mind if I steal her for a while?” Jeriko asked, even as he hooked an elbow with Lucy.
“Naw go ahead.” To Lucy, she said, “I’ll be around if you need me. Just text me, ok?”
Lucy nodded as Jeriko began to pull her away. Sighing, Y/N made her way to the dimly lit living room area. The music was still extremely loud in this part of the house, but she was ok with that. Plopping down on the opposite end of the only available spot, she did her best to block out the couple making out just two cushions away.
Y/N glanced around the room, watching couples as they danced and groups of people as they chatted and laughed together. She smiled wistfully, liking being alone, but wishing to have the courage to join in. Her mind wandered towards the guy she’d met the night before and she wonder what Minhyuk was doing. If he were here to talk to, she wouldn’t feel so awkward.
As if her thoughts had summoned him, her eyes darted to the figure walking through the archway that split the kitchen from the living room. A young man with a faded shade of magenta colored hair stepped in. Dressed in black jeans, a black t-shirt and an unbuttoned black blazer, Minhyuk appeared a lot taller than she remembered. She took a moment to admire the sharp line of his jaw and the way his lips quirked to one side in a partial smirk. Minhyuk looked like royalty as he peered casually around the room. When his eyes finally landed on her, his smile widened causing her heart to leap in her chest. Y/N waved him over even though he’d already started walking her way. She stood, greeting him as soon as he was close.
“Minhyuk, you came,” she returned his bright smile.
He leaned forward kissing her cheek, bringing forth a flush of warmth to the area.
“Couldn’t pass up the chance to see you again.” The glint in his eyes was mischievous, his tone flirtatious causing Y/N to giggle. “Want to go outside where it’s a bit easier to hear each other?”
“Sure.”
He reached out for Y/N’s hand, and with their fingers intertwined, they managed to get outside without being seperated.
“Much nicer out here, little mermaid,” he commented as they headed off the deck and towards the ocean.
“I figured that’d be the perfect costume since the party was at the beach,” Y/N shrugged with a laugh.
Reaching the same chairs they’d sat in the night before, they removed their shoes and sandals and walked hand in hand near the shore line. The water was much too cold to walk in, but the moist beach sand felt nice beneath their bare feet.
“You definitely had the right idea with that costume,” he complimented.
“Thanks. So what are you supposed to be?” she queried looking up at Minhyuk briefly before looking ahead again.
“A human,” he deadpanned.
Y/N faltered, looking up at Minhyuk. With her forehead drawn tight, she scrutinized his face to gage if he was being serious. She let a nervous laugh leave her lips when he quirked an eyebrow at her.
Pursing her lips at him, only slightly amused, she told him, “Just say you didn’t have a costume.”
“Ok. Well, how about Enchanted Human?” he countered. “Would that make you feel better?”
“Well, that would just make me question how much you’ve had to drink today,” she stated simply as she hugged his arm and continued their walking.
Minhyuk chuckled, “Not a drop.”
He didn’t resist her closeness and they continued on along the ocean’s edge. They were quiet for a few steps before he stopped and turned to look down at her. Y/N returned his gaze. She smiled reassuringly at his pensive stare. The teasing look that had been twinkling in his eyes was gone and replaced by something she couldn’t quite place. Something was very obviously weighing on his mind.
“Are you ok?” she finally broke the quietness.
Minhyuk released a sigh before he began to speak. “I know we just met, but I really like you.”
Y/N smiled at that.
“Me, too,” she assured him.
“I feel this connection with you and…I don’t know. I just…,” he paused to smile boyishly and cup her cheek. “I haven’t felt this way before.”
She could feel her heart begin to race at the words and the gentleness of his touch.
“I haven’t either,” Y/N murmured.
“Can I just… Is it ok if I…”
His voice floated off in the sea breeze as he leaned down, closing the space between them. Y/N’s eyes shut in anticipation. This time his lips met hers and to Y/N, it was like brushing her lips across a rose petal. His lips were so soft and gentle as they pressed a sweet kiss onto her mouth. Nothing intrusive or forceful, just a pleasant touch of their lips.
“That was really nice.” Y/N giggled
“Yeah. It was,” he chuckled. Sobering up, he locked eyes with Y/N. “I have to tell you something. Well, I want to tell you something.”
“Okayyy,” she dragged out the word nervously.
“What I said earlier, about dressing up as an enchanted human… I was being serious.”
Y/N frowned, “What do you mean?”
“I told you I live by the water’s edge, but that wasn’t entirely true.”
Minhyuk bit down roughly on his bottom lip as Y/N took a tentative step back.
“Explain,” she demanded, her voice neutral as she crossed her arms under her chest.
“I want you to keep an open mind. Know that there are things in this world beyond your imagination.” Pausing, he took a deep breath. “I come from a place deep in the ocean called The Encante. Have you heard of it?”
She let out a disbelieving huff of hair. “I mean, it vaguely sounds familiar. A folklore of some sort.” Shaking her head as she wracked her mind for more details. Her eyes brightened as she recalled some information. Something she’d read on line one day when she was reading about various folk tales from around the world. “It’s a place compared to paradise where these creatures live that can shed their animal skin and change into humans. Kind of like a selkie.”
Minhyuk smiled, appearing pleased by her response.
“Right. My kind are called Encantado and in the water we are dolphins, but we can shed our dolphin form and walk the land as human.”
Y/N eyed him silently. Her eyes bore into his as she did her best to decipher if he was telling the truth or teasing.
“Are you being serious right now?” she finally asked, dropping her arms. He nodded solemnly. “I don’t know what to say. This all sounds crazy.”
“It is all true. I swear,” he insisted. “I told you because I want you to come with me there, to The Encante.”
“Minhyuk, we’ve only just met. Even if I believed you…I have friends and family.” Shaking her head and shrugging she added, “I can’t just leave all of them behind.”
His face crumbled, panic evident in his eyes as he blinked a few times. Y/N watched his Adam’s apple bob roughly in his throat as he reached out, offering his hand.
“Please come with me, Y/N.”
Her heart broke to see such a beautiful being so sad, so devastated, but she would not sway. This young man truly believed he was an enchanted creature. What need was there for him to concoct such an elaborate lie to keep her in his life if they had already hit if off so well? Perhaps he he really was just plain crazy.
“I can’t do this.”
Frustrated and angered she took a step to stomp away. She wasn’t so much as furious with him, but with her own self as she had allowed herself to be captivated by him so quickly. Now he’s speaking of enchanted dolphins and underwater magical cities?
“Wait!” he hissed desperately, his hand clasping around her wrist.
She yo-yoed back, colliding with his chest.
“What the hell?!”
“Shhh,” he cooed apologetically. “Just…I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Look. Give me a chance to show you.”
Untangling herself from him, she looked down the beach, realizing how far they’d walked from everyone. It was dark, save for the fractured reflection of the smiling moon over the shivering ocean. She returned her gaze to Minhyuk’s pleading one. What harm would it do for him to show her he was lying?
“Fine,” she extended an arm dramatically between them. “Go ahead.”
His face broke into a thrilled smile as he shrugged out of his blazer. “You’re the first person I’ve shown myself to. I’m actually kinda nervous.”
“Minhyuk,” Y/N sighed impatiently.
“Okay okay okay.” He pressed his lips together, taking a deep breath. “Can you hold this for me, please?” She held out her hand, not hiding the agitation. “Thanks.”
He then proceeded to tug his t-shirt out of his pants.
“Wh-Whoa there!” she sputtered, twirling around.
His laugher rung out, mingling with the sounds of the ocean and her heart lurched at the musicality of it.
She humphed, hugging his jacket to her chest.
There were several splashes that exploded not too far beside her. Y/N quickly turned to face the water in time to see Minhyuk’s naked pale form reach a deep enough part where he could dive underwater. Looking down to the ground she took note of a pile of clothes.
He really was going with this whole shapeshifting thing. The water had to be about 50 degrees or so, pretty cold for any normal person. But Minhyuk cut through the water as if it was bath water. He breached the surface and waved to her. She reluctantly wiggled her fingers back, sure he couldn’t see her clearly in the darkness.
“Ready?” he called out and she was surprised to find she could hear him clearly.
“Sure,” she replied with an exasperated sigh.
Minyuk dove again, but this time what broke the surface was not a human. A swift, strong dolphin shot up into the air in an arc. Y/N staggered back a few paces, momentarily shocked by the sight. The water glistened off the mammals body like luminescent glitter. She swore he winked at her before slicing headfirst back into the water.
What had she just witnessed??
Panicking, she bolted down the shoreline the way they’d come. She heard her name on the ocean’s breeze, it’s pitch so much like Minhyuk’s, but she dared not look behind her. Shortly, she reached the area of the bonfire. Music and chatter surrounded her and she was overwhelmed by it all. Eyes wide she scanned the vicinity. Not finding Lucy, she stumbled towards the plank way that lead to the deck of the rental house. There she caught sight of her friend inebriated and grinding against Jeriko.
Y/N rushed up to her and yanked at her arm frantically, “I need to go. We need to go!”
“Hey, what’s your problem,” Jeriko scowled at Y/N.
“Awe, come on, Y/N,” Lucy groaned. “I’m having a good time.”
“I have to get outta here,” Y/N insisted. Lucy eyed her, momentary concern flashed in her eyes, but then Jeriko tightened his grip on her waist and annoyance returned. “Fine. I’ll just leave the door unlocked.” Turning to Jeriko, she poked a finger into his chest, demanding, “You. You better get her to our place in one piece. Got that?”
“Sure,” he grinned.
Looking from one to the other one last time, she spun on her heels and headed back to the small hotel room. Once there, she curled up in the bed without changing. Only then realizing she was still clutching onto Minhyuk’s blazer. Inhaling deeply the scent of Minhyuk mixed with the ocean, she let the tears slip past her lashes unchecked.
.·:*¨¨*:·. .·:*¨¨*:·.
Y/N looked down at her phone as it vibrated for the zillionth time. They were all messages from Lucy.
Lucy (10:34am): you better be outta bed
Lucy (12:17pm): Did you have lunch?
Lucy (12:39pm): Helloooo!
Lucy (1:02 pm): Please love me T_T
Lucy (1:30pm): Meet me at the cafe. No ifs ands or buts. You better be there. Don’t leave me hanging!!
Y/N (1:31pm): Fine. If only to stop your spamming.
Lucy (1:33pm): xoxo
She rolled slowly out of bed and stomped to the bathroom. She’d refused to step out claiming she was sick. Y/N just couldn’t find the energy to smile, to speak, to dress. She wished things had been different.
With time to think about Minhyuk and all he’d told then showed her, she felt despicable for how she’d reacted. Of course anyone would be shocked, but to just run away when he was trusting her with such a huge secret? That was just wrong.
She’d gone back twice. The drive was long, but she wanted so much to apologize. She’d walked up and down the beach, calling his name, but had no luck finding him. Maybe he’d gone back home to The Encante, the fear of a human telling the world of this discovery eating up his mind.
She let her face fall in her hands while tears filled her eyes. But then she sucked in a deep breath, dabbing at her eyes and nose with a tissue. She had to stop with the tears. She rushed to get ready, a much needed distraction to hold back the waterworks.
.·:*¨¨*:·. .·:*¨¨*:·.
The bell tinkled gently above her as she stepped into the small cafe, announcing her arrival. The baristas and cashier greeted her. Glancing around the room she found Lucy waving to get her attention. Y/N sent her a small smile before heading her way. When she was not but a few paces away she noticed Lucy was not alone.
Across from her, his back to Y/N, was a guy in a black beanie. She paused a second, her face neutral, as she looked at the back of the intruder. Y/N tried to ignore the agitation that was starting to come forward. She’d thought she’d be here with just Lucy. Why didn’t she say she’d invited Jeriko, too?
Noticing her hesitation, Lucy stood and reached out to take Y/N’s hand.
Urging her forward, she told her quietly, “I ran into this guy and he told me he was trying to find a Y/N. I asked him a few questions and turns out it’s you. That’s why I asked you to come here.”
Y/N frowned at Lucy. What guy would be looking for her?
Stepping behind her, Lucy gripped Y/N’s shoulders and gently pushed her forward. Once she reached the table, she turned her to face the stranger. She couldn’t help but gasp, her hand coming up to her mouth a bit too late to cover the sound. She felt her heart kick start, thrumming giddily beneath her breast.
“Hello, Y/N.”
Even as he smiled at her, there was a tentativeness as he waited for the shock of the moment to wear off.
“I’ll leave you two,” Lucy looked from one to the other, concern wrinkling her brow.
The bell jingled over the door as Lucy exited, but still Y/N stared on unmoving. So many things she wanted to say, yet emotion knotted it all in her throat.
“Maybe this was a mistake,” Minhyuk mumbled as he slid out of the booth taking her silence as rejection. “I’ll just go.”
Bowing her head in shame, she allowed him to take one step past her. Mustering her courage, she grabbed his forearm, tugging him back to face her. Y/N wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him tightly.
“I’m really sorry, Minhyuk.”
His shirt muffled her words, but he must have understood. A moment later he was hugging her back and she sighed feeling relief wash over her.
He was warm and the scent of the sea lingered on him. As she drew her head back a bit, her eyes flit over his face searching for assurance that he truly had forgiven her. The wide golden smile that greeted her was all the confirmation she needed.
“Let’s sit,” he suggested.
Sliding into the seat across from him she looked him over seeing how human he looked. If Minhyuk had not confessed, truthfully, she would have never known.
“I’m really sorry for running away,” she started. “Honestly, it really freaked me out, but once I got home I had time to think about it. That was a really brave thing you did, confiding such a secret. I can’t even imagine how nerve wracking it must have been wondering if I had said anything. I swear I will never tell anyone.”
“Thank you. I really appreciate that.” He leaned forward now, his eyes capturing hers. “Now that all is forgiven...where does that leave us?”
Y/N slid her hands across to take both of his in hers.
“There’s no manual out there that tells us how a human and an Encantado should be together, but I’m willing to find out along the way if you are.”
@shawolstarlight asked: Can you do a reaction of Monsta X to their girlfriend being homesick, thank you so much and I really love your work! ❤❤
A/N: Thank you honey! I really hope you like this too. <3
Shownu – He’d be at a loss with this. It’d make him feel sad and helpless to see you missing your home so much. As your boyfriend he’d think he’s responsible for making it better so he’d try. After thinking it over a lot and getting frustrated by his lack of ideas, he’d just come out and ask you what would help. He’s a direct guy and honestly doesn’t trust himself not to accidentally do the wrong thing and make your homesickness worse. So rather than screw up he’d ask you what you wanted. No matter what it was, even if it was silly or difficult, if it was within his ability to do, he would do it for you without complaint.
Wonho – He’d have a two-pronged approach. First he’d be really supportive and let you cry on his shoulder while you listed everything you missed. But then he’d move on to phase two and that would be distraction. Wonho would do his best to put a smile on your face by playing around and dragging you to fun things all over Seoul whenever possible. Anything to get you acclimated and your mind off leaving. His heart would hurt for you but he loves you and selfish or not, wants you to stay. He’d feel bad about that but not enough to lie and say he’d be ok with you walking out of his life. Anytime you mentioned being homesick it’d make his stomach twist, worried you’d eventually decide to go home if he couldn’t offer you more in Korea.
Minhyuk – At first he’d try to cheer you up and sort of brush it aside. Not dismissively but he’d feel the negative thoughts would make you less likely to adapt. But if you perpetually seemed down about it he’d shift gears and try to address the issue. He desperately wants to be someone you can lean on as well as take your worries away. The following weeks Minhyuk would act normal and ask you subtle questions that you wouldn’t give a second thought. Then he’d show up with a package he made of your favorite items from your homeland. Whether he had to shop online, scour Seoul, or have your family ship them out to him, he’d get it done and present it to you with a hand written note saying he was sorry you missed home but he hoped you’d give life with him in Korea a chance.
Kihyun – He’s a caring person but also has a rather mind over matter mentality. While he would take into consideration that you missed your family and friends he would mostly associate your feelings with being overwhelmed by your new life. So he’d look after you even more than he usually does. Kihyun would try to smooth your way in Korea as much as he could whether it was explaining social customs or introducing you to new ways of doing something. He’d feel if he could just do more to help you adjust, you’d feel more comfortable and want to stay. It’d make him feel powerless if nothing helped. Once you really got through to him it was about your family he’d make sure you could Skype them as much as possible, and he’d join in too.
Hyungwon – He’d be the one to sit down and ask the tough questions. His stomach would be in knots the whole time but he’d want to gauge how serious the situation was. Is it a normal case of homesick blues or is it an indication you’d be unable to adapt? Something that would eventually end up driving you home? It’d be a heartfelt discussion about what you want and your thoughts regarding your relationship with him. If you wanted to stay he’d do anything he could to help make Korea your second home. If you’d be happier going back home, he’d support that too. It’d break his heart to lose you but even so, his main concern would ultimately be your happiness.
Jooheon – In the beginning he’d offer himself as your teddy bear whenever you felt down. But if it got worse he’d start to withdraw emotionally upon finding out how homesick you were. He’s very sensitive and he’d be trying to brace himself for what he’s beginning to see as your inevitable departure. Of course he’d still listen and be there for you, but you’d start to notice a wistfulness to his expression whenever the subject came up. That or his face would close off completely, depending on context. Not wanting to upset you further you’d have to push pretty hard to get him to open up as Jooheon isn’t about to put his needs in front of yours. He’s asked you to do that for his music career he’s not going to ask it for anything else.
I.M – As someone who has lived many places around the world this would be very relatable to him. He’d commiserate by telling you his own stories of feeling like a stranger in a strange land but also how he learned to enjoy where he was. Things he never would have experienced if he’d stayed in one place his whole life. He’d encourage you by sharing that it’s a feeling that can be overcome, if not erased. Changkyun would see it as a challenge for you two to face, offering to help you bridge that gap in your heart if you’d let him. He’d probably want to start some new traditions that would help tie you closer to living your life in Korea, making you feel less adrift.
