I feel like you have been waiting forever and I am so sorry about that and everyone else waiting for a request but they are being done...very slowly
Also, is that their ship name? Because I am not 100% sure at all.
Sitting in your living room, you scrolled through the internet
You lived in a very nice apartment on the sixth floor of the building
It had three bedrooms, a spacious kitchen and living room and big windows with lots of natural light being let in
And your landlord had just raised the rent, which meant that you had to find a roommate if you wanted to stay there, as there was no way you would be able to pay for the place yourself after your previous roommate moved out
You didn't want to leave either, as not only was it a nice flat but it was in a nice neighbourhood with nice neighbours, and only ten minutes from your job
However, you were having no luck on the internet, and so giving up for the day, you leave your flat and trudge up one flight, knocking on a door
Ten minutes later finds you sitting at your good friends table, head in the palm of your hands and a pout on your face as you watch him bustle around his kitchen
"Say, you don't have any mates that need a place to live do you Kihyun?"
"Now you mention it, Jooheon mentioned something about wanting to move away from his psycho neighbour, and Shownu might be open to the idea because his plumbing keeps breaking. I can ask them if you want. "
"You, sir, are a lifesaver," you say, hope beginning to spark in your eyes
Kihyun laughs, mentioning for you to get up
"Now if you've stopped moping, come and help me. There's carrots that need cutting with your name on."
And true to his word, Kihyun does talk to the two; and much to your pleasure they both agree to meet with you
So one weekend, Kihyun invited you to join him and his friends for drinks and karaoke so he can introduce you to them
You and Kihyun are the first two to arrive, and he introduces you to his other friends as they arrive, with you exchanging a high five with Changkyun (who you have previously met)
The last two to get their are Shownu and Jooheon
As soon as they walk in, Kihyun pushes you over to them
"Shownu, Jooheon, this is y/n. Y/n, Shownu and Jooheon. Play nice," he says before scurrying off to gossip with Hyungwonho
You make some small talk, drink some drinks and by the time you get to the karaoke place the you are joking around like you have known them for ages and you have a time and date set for them to move in with you
All in all, finding a roommate or two was a huge success
And you know that if Kihyun is friends with them then they will be alright, if a bit crazy because none of the man's friend group are exactly normal as you very well know by what he has told you
And it turns out he was right
A month had passed since they moved in and it couldn't be more perfect
The two of them were some of the most considerate people you had ever met
Jooheon had turned his bedroom into a mini studio, but despite that he always made sure to check that you weren't sleeping or trying to concentrate before he even thought about playing any music on the lowest volume without headphones
And Shownu, or Hyunwoo as you came to call him, never let you carry anything up the six flights to you place, lift or stairs he would be ther e to carry the groceries for you
Cooking wasn't a common occurrence in the apartment, either you were all too busy or too tired to do so
Instead you either ordered in or mooched off of Kihyun above you
But when you did, the two always helped you out
Both of them always acted so dramatic
If oil spits even the tiniest bit you can bet that Jooheon will let out a squeal or two and Hyunwoo will shield your body with his, you just rolling your eyes and chuckling
In the evenings or on weekends when none of you feel like doing much, you will all congregate to the living room, just sitting around and doing your own thing, every now and then getting the others opinions on something or have a break to tell jokes or watch an episode of that drama which has you all shedding tears despite how much you all try to hide it
You also watch movies together occasionally
You made the mistake of choosing a horror movie one time
While you and Hyunwoo were relatively unfazed, Jooheon was between you both practically hiding behind you, jumping every time someone so much as breathed
That very same night he dragged you and Hyunwoo around with him, refusing to go anywhere in the apartment alone
He even made you sleep in his bed with him, something neither of you could refuse after he brought out the puppy dog eyes
You'll never admit it but you enjoying snuggling something other than your duvet
All of you are pretty good with chores, sharing them evenly and doing them on time
You usually end up doing the laundry, which ends up being your reasoning to stealing their clothes all the time
Because between them they own so many hoodies, how can you resist taking them?
You are usually the first one to wake up between you all, so you often end up making coffee for them both to find when they wake up, something Jooheon is especially appreciative of after a late night making music
Living in an apartment with two other people the chances are that you will all see each other naked at least once
Which is definitely true in your case
There was one time where you and Jooheon were sat in the living room just chatting when suddenly Hyunwoo walked past, water droplets running down his body which was covered with a mere towell
His ears were red as he explained that he forgot his clothes, quickly running off to his room, leaving you and Jooheon staring at the place he just vacated in a daze, jaws dropped open
There was also the time where Jooheon was in the shower when he suddenly screamed, causing you and Hyunwoo to go running to his aid expecting the worst
Only to find him covering his bits with one hand and pointing at a huge but with the other which Hyunwoo quickly disposed of as you stand there laughing, before being pushed out by a blushing Jooheon
Speaking of which, Hyunwoo is the persons that deals with all the bugs and spiders
Jooheon won't go near them
If you threatened to kick him out if he didn't kill that spider, he would be packing his bags and moving to Switzerland before you could finish your sentence (you would never do that of course, you like living with him too much)
Ride outside your apartment block is a play area; with basketball courts and a playground for the younger kids
During the summer the three of you often spend time down their with the children of the apartment block
Jooheon runs around playing with the kids, joining them in begging their parents for ice cream and showing only the cutest awful
Hyunwoo is often utilised as a climbing frame, thrilling the kids when he easily picks them up and lifts them in the air
Sometimes you all join the teens and young adults in playing basketball
It is during one of these sessions where you become aware of your feelings for the two
You are sitting on the bench on the side court talking with one of the kids mothers while the two boys play ball with some others
Hyunwoo moves up behind Jooheon, putting his arms around the younger bringing him into a back hug, and you find yourself staring at the two, a sort smile on your face
The woman next two in turn smiles softly at you
"You are so lucky to have two boyfriends like them. And two such great looking guys too!" She smirks, nudging your shoulder as she bounces her baby in her lap
You turn to her in shock, rapidly shaking your head
"Oh no. We're not, I mean, they're just my roommates "
"Together or not, your feelings are pretty clear though. I used to look at someone like that, like she was the best thing to happen to me"
"What happened? "
"We got married and she gave me this little one, so I would say it turned out pretty well, " she grins, indicating to her son in her lap before passing him over to you
Taking the boy in your arms, you laugh as he plays with your hands, grabbing one of you fingers in his first
"And it looks like I was also right in thinking they looked at you the same way too"
At her words, you glance up at the people in question, sending a smile their way as you see them looking in your direction
"Maybe..." is all you say before shaking your head and going back to playing with the baby, the woman's words drifting around in the back of your mind
On the other side of the court, Jooheon and Hyunwoo were having a similar conversation
The two were standing on the side of the court, watching and laughing as a kid called Guanlin ran circles around a pouting Changkyun
Hyunwoo wrapped his arms around Jooheon when Kihyun came up to the two
"My my don't we look cosy," he grins " anyone would think you two are totally gay for each other the way you act sometimes"
The two boys blush slightly at this, though Hyunwoo doesn't make any move to let to of Jooheon, who is about to open his mouth in rebuttal when Kihyun cuts in
"Yeah yeah, I know you two have already talked it out. I just wanted to tell you that a certain someone keeps looking this way like you two are the most precious things ever. And that they look on so adorable with babies," he says, giving a pointed look towards you on the bench
Automatically, their heads turn to look at you and Kihyun snorts at the hearts in their eyes
"How can a person he so cute?" Jooheon mutters, Hyunwoo nodding in agreement
As you look up and smile at them, they look away with red cheeks and Kihyun just shakes his head, walking away while muttering "hopeless"
You see, a week before, a sleep deprived Jooheon had accidentally confessed to Hyunwoo, immediately waking up completely as he registered his own words
The two of them sit in shock for a moment, before Hyunwoo sits Jooheon down and the two talk
And during this talk it comes out that not only are Jooheons feelings reciprocated, but they also fancy the pants off of you as well
In a panic they end up knocking on Kihyuns door at one in the morning, doing for advice on what to do
His advice is to "grow balls and ask them out. You're all already basically dating" before he pushes them out the door moaning about how his beauty sleep is now ruined
Another week passes, and you start to notice the two men being more touchy feely with each other
You will walk in the living room and catch them snuggled on the couch, Jooheon tucked under his hyungs shoulder before they quickly scoot apart upon noticing your presence
Or Hyunwoos hands will linger a second to long on Jooheons hips as he squeezes past him
They also shut themselves up together in his room for hours on end, your imagination going wild at thinking I the things they could be doing
Upon noticing this, you can't help but feel slightly disheartened
You are now fully aware of you own feelings for the two, and so thinking that they like each other and not you is a little upsetting for you
You had basically given up on the idea that they may like you, despite what the woman thought
After all, they didn't treat you the way they treated eachother, and the sort looks they sent each other you never saw directed your way
Despite the heartbreak you are feeling, you still act the same happy to lucky person around them though
Because if they are happy with each other, then you are happy for them and you don't want to ruin the atmosphere, or make them feel uncomfortable at all
Once again, it is Kihyun who has to put up with it all
One evening you end up in his apartment on his couch, pouring out your woes over a glass of wine
One glass turns to two
Two to three
Until the whole bottle has been finished, mostly by you, and you are on the verge of falling asleep, tired after drunkenly crying out your worries
Suddenly there is a knock at the door, and Kihyun moves out of view to answer it before coming back
The figure that comes into your line of sight however, is much more built than Kihyuns smaller one
And the next thing you know, you are being carried down one flight of stairs and into your own apartment, placed gently into your bed and tucked in
The last thing you see before you pass out are two worried faces leaning down and placing kisses on your forehead
The next morning you wake up with a banging headache and a dry mouth
Chucking the covers off of your body, you swing your legs round and are about to stand up when something catches your eye
On your side table is a tall glass of water and painkillers
You smile slightly as you reach over to them, making a mental note to thank your roomies
Running a hand through your hair, doing your best to tame it, you trudge out of your bedroom and into a completely silent flat
You take a moment to wonder where everyone is before remembering that Hyunwoo has a gym date with Hoseok and that Jooheon has work until the evening
Thanking the heavens that the two won't see you in your post hangover state, you meander about, taking the time to have a long shower and lounge around watching your favourite movies
It is late in the evening when your roommates get back
Upon seeing you, the two share a look before separating, Hyunwoo to the bathroom and Jooheon to his room
You sink down into the couch cushions in slight sorry and disappointment when they only mutter out hellos to you
What you don't know, however, is the fact that they are both basically trembling with nervousness
The whole week they have spent planning on how to confess to you, and now that the time has come, both of them are worried out of their minds
After all, if it goes wrong and you reject them, then it's possible you will kick them out and they will be without a place to live (even though they are both sure you would never do that to anyone)
But still, they decide to go through with their plan
Freshly showered and dressed, Hyunwoo goes to sit beside you on the couch at the exact same time as Jooheon comes out of his room and sits on the other side of you, placing his laptop and a pair of headphones in your lap
Looking at them in confusion, you can't help but notice the nerves in their eyes
But still, as Jooheon places the headphones over your ears and presses a button on the keyboard, you sit patiently, waiting to see what is up
Your confusion makes way for shock as a melody starts to play in your ears and the familiar sound of Jooheons voice can be heard rapping
You then turn to Hyunwoo in surprise as you hear his voice not knowing that he could sing so well
You can't help but listen closely to the lyrics, in awe of the boys songwriting skills, until some lines in particular catch your attention
The wording starts sounding very specific, so specific that it stays to sound like...they might be singing about you....t
As it comes to an end, you pull off the headphones, looking between them with your mouth hanging open
"Is this...did you....write this for me?"
with their ears burning red, they nod
"Both of us really, really like you, and we've talked about it and we wanted to know if you wanted to go out with us. Both of us. Like a poly relationship."
You sit completely still for a moment, replaying Jooheons words in your head and you slowly start to nod, the for see if your lips curling upwards
Never before have you seen Hyunwoo smile so wide or Jooheons dimples so deep as they do the moment you say yes to being in a relationship with them
From that point on, well, let's just say that three bedrooms aren't necessarily needed
I apologise for this. I find these two in particular so hard to write for, especially since I have major cramps right now.
