“You too!” You blurted out, right before realizing you'd gotten your words mixed up, “Wait- I meant to say you look pretty, but... I guess I mean both? Gosh, does that even make sense?”
A tiny smile spread across Minji's features at your adorable timidness, her boot-clad feet taking a few steps towards you before pulling you close, gracing your frame with a tender hug, “It makes perfect sense, weirdo… thanks...”
Her voice was calm and soothing as usual, despite the way it made butterflies swarm in the spot where your heart should be. You couldn't really explain it, but something about Minji's energy always had a way of making you look and feel like a lovesick geek by time you got a proper sentence out—
“So,” she began again, breaking from the embrace and looking you straight in the eye, her hands resting at your shoulders, “when were you gonna tell me about this little crush you have on me?”
Your eyes widened like you had seen a ghost, a nervous chuckle slipping past your lips as she tilted her head at you, just as you muttered a distracting, “Right after I told you which Victoria's Secret fragrance I'm wearing?”
𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐌 ── ❝ Crystals? As a gesture?... ❞
“Pfft, of course!” Hanni replied matter-of-factly, “just like how you gave me coins for that gum-ball machine we passed earlier… but who's keeping track of all that stuff anyways?”
“You, apparently...,” you said as a gentle laugh escaped your lips at her quirky reply, “but touché, Hanni Pham... what should I do with these?”
“Hmmm,” she hummed, cupping your right palm in her own as the colorful stones glittered beneath the mall’s sunroof, “you can put them under your pillow at night!... o-or maybe even stash them in your purse so you can think about me wherever you go!”
“As if I'd need a crystal’s assistant with that,” you teased, ruffling her hair slightly with your free hand. “These are cool, though,” you went on, heart warming at both the feeling of your hand in hers and at the unique gift, “very sweet of you...”
“Eh, I tryyyy,” she replied smugly, right before blowing a tiny pink bubble with the gum she chewed, only to spit the leftover candy into a napkin and ask, “wanna close your eyes and guess what flavor you taste on me?...”
𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐇 ── ❝ I like your sweater… ❞
“Oh, this old thing?” Danielle asked with her warm Australian accent, taking the colorful sweater’s hem in her fingers to examine it's loose threads, “My nana knit this for me like... forever ago...”
“Well it's cool to see she was a step ahead of fashion trends back then,” you smiled, letting your hand brush over the soft yarn of her sleeve... That's when a certain question arose in your head:
“Random, but by chance, are you any good with using chopsticks?” You asked, wanting to keep the conversation going.
“Oh, for sure! I’m basically a pro at it,” she boasted, flipping her curly locks in a cartoonish manner.
“Sweet! I have two coupons for two different places. One for a craft store, and another for a sushi bar… only thing is that they both expire tomorrow,” You went on, hoping that she'd catch your drift without you having to state any specifics...
“Oh? Well it'd be a total bummer to let them go to waste,” she shrugged, hooking her arm in yours before tugging you along with her, “we better get going quick before they run out of sashimi… or yellow yarn…”
𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍 ── ❝ Can I come in please...? ❞
You heard a gentle voice call from behind your bedroom door, face buried into the largest pillow you could find given the sob-fest you had earlier…
“The door’s unlocked,” you sniffled, turning over on your bed to face her as she peaked from behind the door, her bright smile not even fading at the sight of you.
“I brought some heartwarming treats and DVD’s!” She began, voice just as pleasant as it always was. Haerin made her way to sit beside you on the bed, opening one of your favorite candy bars and handing it to you.
“How’d y’know I was upset?” You asked before taking a bite of the candy, chuckling a bit at the way she watched you so intently while doing so.
“I didn’t,” she went on plainly, “… I already wanted to surprise you today and just got lucky that it ended up being at a time where you needed it most…”
“Awww,” you pouted, dropping the candy bar to pull her into a hug, “you’re literally the best friend I could ask for, Haerin… thank you for coming to see me…”
“Of course,” she whispered, mind lingering on the word friend for a moment, even though she was certain you meant something a little more than that…
“So,” she began again, breaking from the contact and reaching for the TV remote, “Wanna rewatch Mean Girls or Clueless first?”
𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐘𝐄𝐈𝐍 ── ❝ Can I touch your hair? ❞
You asked the question for one reason: You were bored out of your mind from waiting at the bus stop, and playing with Hyein’s hair seemed like a fun way to pass the time…
“Oh, sure!” She chirped, immediately straightening her posture on the park bench as you scooted closer to where she sat, taking her wavy locks into your grasp.
Hyein’s round eyes wandered to the sparkly pink Juicy Couture purse you wore over your shoulder, compelling her to ask, “What’s in the bag?”
“Oh- just some barrette’s and hair clips I got from Claire’s yesterday,” you replied, pausing to click open your purse and show her the different kinds, “Thought you might be interested in some extra bling, so…”
“You know me far too well then, ____,” she smiled, scanning each package with her eyes before suggesting that you decide which hair-clip style she would wear, and vice versa.
You let out a simple “Okay” at her offer, reaching for the pack of silver shooting stars for her hair while she held the pack of butterfly clips beside your face, a satisfied look spreading across her features.
“These are gonna look gorgeous on you,” Hyein smiled, right before opening the pack of butterflies clips and popping a few different colored ones in her palm, “This is too fun already, hehe… I can decorate your hair first, right?…”

SOPH — hihi ofc!! tysm for requesting :) <3 this is SOOO overdue but im starting to work on my requests again <3 im sorry if this is a bit short, i haven’t been motivated recently but i tried! anyways smth for my bae hanni <3
WARNINGS — use of petnames (bae/babe)
— the person who you could just be honest with and talk about everything and ANYTHING. like we’ve seen her on that debate episode, bae was PREPARED! so i think she’d be also that talkative with you!
— i would say she’s touchy? like she loves physical touch, it’s one of her love languages. so when she’s by you, be shocked if she doesn’t start cuddling you or resting a body part on you LMAO 😭😭😭
— seems like someone who would do playful childish teasing. LIKE sticking tongue out or be like “ooouuuu” YKWIM? she does it for the fun of it and wanting a reaction. she’d be more than glad if you joined her <3
— forget about petnames, she’s gonna call you bro and dude all the time LMFAOOO. it’s a habit of hers and probably a habit of yours too, let’s be honest so it’s hard to stop! but if she does use one, it would probably be bae / babe bc she likes how it sounds
— idk…she seems the type to get jealous easily ? like she’d get real pouty or be overdramatic js for you to get the hint. she’d pretend to act cold after you notice but then just give in under your touch
— would make you do weird things w/ her LMFAO. like who wouldn’t want to ding dong ditch someone’s hotel room? hanni hanni hanni….
— would def hype you up! like she’d instantly scream and shout be like “ayyy, that’s my bae!”. just makes you feel so confident about yourself </3
— the type to just like tackle you HELP. like oh you’re laying down? she’s already preparing to jump on top of you.
— despite being pretty playful, i think she would be understanding. like she’s willing to hear you out and would change anything that you don’t like or whatnot.
— whenever she sees you sad, she instantly goes and check up on you. 😧 THIS EMOJI IS HER. and she would be like “what’s wrong?” as she rubs on your back.
— when one of you is stressed/sad (or both), she’d suggest taking a walk outside just to clear up your/her mind a bit. a bonus if it’s at night, since she loves taking walks at night.
— would probably try to make you laugh but end up laughing at herself before she could. but that doesn’t matter, since her laugh is contagious, it ends up with you laughing as well.
— probably loves matching stuff! i think she’d get really excited with matching necklaces, and even matching wallpapers!
— she’s just really comforting to be around, and you’ll never be bored when she’s around!
— forces you to watch movies with her. like she would get all excited when she finds a new movie to watch with you. so when she’s all giddy, who are you to refuse?? movie nights/dates are definitely your thing w/ her!
— likes taking silly pics and vids 😭 and whenever you tell her to delete it off your phone, she just goes “but you’re so cute here!” which explains why she has a whole album of you and her…(you also get a separate album of js you on her phone <3)

The story starts under the cut
✁・・・
The crisp breeze of early fall rustled through the streets as you strolled towards the cozy café nestled on the corner. Leaves of amber and gold swirled in a dance around you, painting the sidewalk with a promise of autumn's arrival.
Your footsteps echoed softly against the pavement as you chatted animatedly on your phone with your friend, Sarah, who had already secured a table inside the café, the anticipation of a cozy catch-up over coffee and pastries lifting your spirits.
With your favorite pastry place in sight, you couldn't help but smile, feeling the warmth of the upcoming coffee and pastries filling you with anticipation. Sarah's excited voice crackled through your phone,
"Hurry up! I've got us a prime spot by the window. And, trust me, you won't believe who I just saw!"
Your curiosity spiked, and you quickened your pace, approaching the café's entrance.
"Who is it, Sarah? Don't keep me in suspense you know I hate that."
Sarah chuckled, her tone tinged with her usual tease. "Well, you'll know when you see her, I hope you dressed up nice today."
You didn't really understand the implication and infatuation with whatever you're to be wearing today, but luckily for you, you had opted for a comfortable yet stylish ensemble today, one that perfectly captured the casual charm of the fall season.
A soft, oversized sweater in a muted yet vibrant shade of olive draped elegantly over your frame, its cozy embrace providing a subtle warmth against the autumn chill. Beneath, you wore a pair of, dark-washed jeans that hugged your figure just how you liked it.
You chose a delicate silver necklace to adorn your neck, its pendant a small, understated symbol of something dear to you.
Your favorite pair of ankle boots completed the ensemble, their worn leather like material bearing witness to countless stories.
With each step, you moved with a quiet confidence, the rustle of fallen leaves harmonizing with the soft click of your boots against the pavement. It was a look that effortlessly blended comfort with a touch of understated elegance, a reflection of you
The jingling bell above the café's entrance signaled your arrival. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sweet pastries enveloped you as you scanned the cozy space for Sarah.
Then, it happened. Your eyes locked onto a figure at the counter, and time seemed to slow. Your breath caught, and your heart skipped a beat.
Across the room, stood Danielle, her features illuminated by the soft glow of the pendant lights above, her presence attracting attention effortlessly. She was ordering a latte, her laughter musical as she exchanged words with the barista.
As your gaze remained fixed on her, you couldn't help but feel as though fate had orchestrated this moment.
Danielle's Perspective
The sun's gentle rays filtered through the curtains, painting Danielle's room with a golden hue. She stretched, a sense of anticipation tingling in her veins. Today held a special kind of energy.
Her phone lit up, displaying a message from Hanni🐇🩷, her fellow group member.
"Hey, Dani, remember that café you liked near the company? Mind getting something for all of us when you come?."
Danielle still somewhat half asleep agreed, coffee sounded like the perfect way to kickstart the day. She dressed in comfortable jeans and a soft sweater, opting for a laid-back vibe that matched the cozy atmosphere she anticipated for today.
Arriving at the familiar café, she greeted the barista with a warm smile. Ordering her go-to latte and the drinks for her members, she couldn't shake the feeling that this was more than a simple caffeine fix.
As she waited, her gaze wandered around the café, taking in the comforting aroma of freshly baked pastries and the low hum of conversations.
Then, it happened. As the door to the café chimed, announcing a new customer, Danielle's gaze momentarily and instinctively flickered towards the entrance.
Her eyes fell on you, and time seemed to stand still. Her heart dared to skip a beat, for there, bathed in the soft, golden glow of the autumn late morning, stood someone who exuded an inexplicable magnetism.
The world around her faded into the background, time seemed to slow. In that stolen moment, Danielle's world momentarily shifted off its axis.
She couldn't help but be captivated by the depth and warmth in those eyes, the kind that spoke of stories untold eagerly waiting for a listener. In that instant, she knew that she couldn't let this encounter be a once forgotten ordinary meeting.
In a blink of an eye you found yourself back in the café. You took a steadying breath, determined to approach the counter and order.
The café bustled with activity, but it all faded into the background. It was as if the two of you were the only people in the room.
Finally the world seemed to regain its normal pace as you tore your gaze away from Danielle's. The intensity of her gaze sent a shiver down your spine, and you felt a subtle but undeniable shift in the atmosphere.
Heart pounding, you approached the counter, trying to maintain your composure. Your voice wavered only slightly as you placed your order, all the while acutely aware of Danielle's presence beside you, warm and inviting.
"Hi Rin, it's good to see you back, I'll have my usual, please, thank you" you managed to say, willing your trembling hands to steady.
The barista efficiently prepared your drink, seemingly oblivious to the charged atmosphere around you.
As you waited for your order, you stole a few discreet glances at Danielle. Her presence was magnetic, and the way she carried herself exuded a quiet confidence that was both captivating and comforting. You couldn't help but let your mind wonder about the events that had led her to this exact café, out of all the cafés in this city why this one?
You bowed politely, but still neither of you said a word, but. It was a moment that seemed to stretch on, suspended in time as you waited patiently.
You were acutely aware of the soft buzz of mundane conversation around you, the soft ambiance of music playing from a speaker somewhere around the establishment, a song that you recognize but couldn't confidently name, the clinking of cups, and the hum of the espresso machine, yet all of it seemed distant and hazy.
With your order ready, you carefully reached for it. Your fingers brushed against Danielle's, since her order was just beside yours.
The touch sent a jolt of electricity through you, and you couldn't suppress the shiver that raced down your spine, a blush crept across your cheeks. You couldn't resist a shy and somewhat dorky smile. "Oh!, sorry" you stammered, your voice barely above a whisper.
Danielle's eyes twinkled with amusement, and she responded with a soft chuckle. "No need to apologize. It happens," she said, her tone warm and reassuring.
In that fleeting moment, it was as if the universe had been determined for both of you to meet.
With your heart aflutter, you left the counter, but Danielle's gaze lingered, a soft smile playing at the corners of her lips.
As you walked back to Sarah's table, you couldn't help but overthink the interaction.
Turning to face your friend Sarah, who you just now realized was observing the entire thing with a playful twinkle in her eye.
"Well, well," Sarah teased, a sly grin playing on her lips. "I see you've made a new friend, haven't you?"
You chuckled nervously, unable to hide the telltale flush on your cheeks. "Shut it, I just made a fool of myself, and it had to be today out of all days!"
She leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Oh, come on! I saw the way you two looked at each other. That was like something out of a romance novel!"
You couldn't help but laugh a little, grateful for Sarah's attempt to lighten your embarrassment with a bit of light teasing.
"You're delusional, get some help" you teased back, though the memory of that shared gaze with Danielle lingered in your thoughts, yep that would definitely stick around rest of your day.
The hours had passed in a haze of anticipation and excitement. With your heart still fluttering from earlier at the café, you found yourself standing in line at the venue of NewJeans' fan sign event. The buzz of eager fans filled the air, and the energy was palpable.
As you entered the venue, you couldn't help but marvel at the vibrant atmosphere. Posters and banners adorned with messages of love and support for NewJeans adorned the walls, creating a kaleidoscope of colors.
The line of fans snaked its way towards the long table where the members of NewJeans sat, each one greeting their devoted fans with smiles and kind words. Your heart raced with anticipation as you inched closer to the front of the line.
You couldn't help but glance at the autograph board you had prepared. It featured a striking illustration of New Jeans, meticulously drawn by your own hand, along with heartfelt messages of support for the girls.
The moment of truth drew nearer, and you couldn't deny the butterflies in your stomach. Would Danielle remember you from earlier in the day?, you weren't sure whether you wished she remembered you or not.
With each step forward, your heart beat a little faster. The anticipation built, and you were about to come face to face with the members of NewJeans, including Danielle, once again.
Finally, it was your turn. As you approached the table where the members of NewJeans sat, their smiles radiant and their eyes sparkling with genuine warmth for their fans, you met with each member, exchanging words of admiration and gratitude.
When you finally reached Danielle, there was a moment of recognition in her eyes, and a spark of something passing between you, you would be lying if you deny that it made your heart skip a beat.
"Hi there!" she greeted you, her voice as melodic in person as it was in her songs, a soft smile gracing her lips, her smile was warm and inviting, putting you instantly at ease. "It's wonderful to see you again." her voice carrying a gentle lilt. "What's your name?"
The sight of Danielle, radiant and smiling, filled you with both awe and anticipation. You clutched your album tightly, heart pounding.
You couldn't help but blush at the memory of your earlier meeting. "Hi," you replied, a mix of excitement and shyness in your voice.
At last you managed to find your voice, your heart pounding in your chest, you replied with your name, a mixture of excitement and awe in your tone. "It's great to see you too."
She took the album from your hands, signing it with a graceful flourish. "The pleasure is all mine," she replied sincerely. "Thank you for your support."
As Danielle signed your album, she looked up with a playful glint in her eyes. "So, do you go to coffee shops often, or was today a special occasion?"
You couldn't help but smile at her question. "I'm more of a regular than I'd like to admit" you confessed, "but today was definitely an unexpected highlight."
Danielle's pen paused for a moment, a grin spreading across her face. "I can't help but feel that our paths were meant to cross today. Fate, perhaps?"
You chuckled, the playful banter between you feeling comfortable and natural. "Fate does have a funny way of working, doesn't it?"
She nodded, her gaze locking onto yours. "Well, I'm certainly glad it led me to you."
The sincerity in her voice sent a delightful shiver down your spine. "I'm glad too," you admitted, your heart fluttering.
As the conversation continued, you exchanged light-hearted comments and shared laughter, the connection between you growing with each passing moment. It was a brief encounter in the midst of a bustling event, but it felt like a universe of its own.
As you exchanged a few words with Danielle, the rest of the NewJeans members glanced with playful curiosity, no doubt having heard about the earlier encounter from Danielle.
As the conversation flowed, Danielle skillfully wove in off-handed questions, her curiosity dancing on the edge of something more personal.
"So, are you a fan of any other groups, or am I your one and only?" she asked, a playful twinkle in her eye.
You chuckled, picking up on the hint in her words. "You might just have some competition, but I'll let you guess who."
She grinned, clearly enjoying the playful back-and-forth. "I love a challenge," she replied, her tone laced with a subtle flirtatiousness.
"So, have any special plans for the rest of the day?" Her gaze held a hint of curiosity.
You considered her question, your heart racing. "Actually, I don't have any plans. Just enjoying the rest of my day, I guess."
Danielle's pen traced a playful pattern on the album cover, her smile teasing. "No more coffee shop visits in your immediate future?" She raised an eyebrow.
You couldn't help but laugh. "Well, you never know. Coffee shops tend to have a way of drawing me in."
As Danielle finished signing your album, beside her signature was her Kakao ID, accompanied by a note:
"You're cute, let's get coffee sometime. Text me!! - Dani ❤️"
You couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement as you read the note. With a smile, you looked up to meet Danielle's gaze, finding a mix of hope and anticipation in her eyes
can i request for minji from newjeans girlfiend hcs? thank you! - 🌸 anon
💭 — MINJI AS YOUR GIRLFRIEND !
tysm 🌸 anon !! wooo first newjeans work!! i hope you enjoy :)
warnings : none?
— i feel like she would be really reassuring. like she’s willing to listen to your problems and try to help you with it. i think she’s really with her words so she would be giving you great advice.
— shy with physical touch but loves it. like if you randomly hug her, a big smile would appear on her face </3 probably pretends she dislikes it while her face says otherwise!!
— probably gives you back rubs out of habit.
— PULLING YOU IN FOR BACK HUGS!!! i feel like she’d do that and rest her head on your shoulder 💔
— prefers quieter dates. just so she could be able to focus on you in silence. she thinks dates like those run smoothly, as you both can just appreciate the moment together!
— very easygoing/carefree gf i believe. i don’t think she’d get jealous as much since she trusts you. there may be times where she might feel jealous, but she would eventually calm down cause she knows she has that reassurance. you’re her partner, she should trust you. she does, knowing you love her :)
— “minji, don’t you think they are a little too touchy?” “they know who they are dating. why should i worry?”
— very attentive to your wants and needs. if she thinks you’re cold, she would give up her jacket or give you a blanket. if she thinks you are sick, she’d immediately be at your care.
— def admires you. thinks you’re the most perfect thing ever. like if you’re hanging out with the others, she’d watch you all, thinking what she did to deserve all of you guys. stop it
— the listener in the relationship. she just tends to take that role, just listening to others and then giving her comments.
— i feel like she’d be awkward at the beginning of the relationship. like she knows you but she’s afraid to make moves that you may not like. so, you might want to be the first to make a move!
— more soft spoken when it comes to you. it just became that way after you two decided to date.
— if the others tease you a lot, she’d most likely try to calm the situation. “alright guys, that’s enough,” as she pulls you closer to her 💔💔💔 . however when she teases you, that’s a different story for another time.
— when she’s stressed, she knows she could just go to you for comfort. words wouldn’t even need to be exchanged, you know once she asks to be held that you never judge and listen to her.
— anything you give her, she considers it as a lucky charm. like if you gave her a plush that resembled her, she’d bring it everywhere…literally. probably would even give updates on it and that would be so cute 😭
— leaves voice messages so you don’t miss her too much :) and demands for you to send some after LMAO
— probably likes taking live photos just for the memories!
💭 — eeeee ! looks empty cause there’s no one to tag HELP
I saw the AN at the end of your new work and I'm glad you took the courage to dive into this genre. I love NJ and this is actually my first time reading a gg fic and it being them is fitting. BTW, this was so cute! You can tag me in all of your works!! I pride (😝) myself on being open minded and giving things a chance to see if I like it or not.
I hope you're doing well! 💕💕
Hi hi Carla !! And tySM for saying that 🥹… glad that one of my fics got to be a first for you hehe, and thanks again for being so open to read new things 🩵
