soft vocalist boyfriend x hardcore rapper girlfriend
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
dk falls for you long before anyone else realizes it. the contrast is ridiculous. he sings like he was raised by sunlight and warm kitchens. you rap like you grew up on broken concrete and bass that cracks ribs. somehow it works. behind the scenes, he is the one slipping extra honey packets into your bag before shows and you are the one gripping his mic hand when stage fright hits out of nowhere. everyone sees the differences. only the two of you know how clean the fit actually is.
studio nights turn into half-asleep harmonizing on the same couch. his members tease him for dating someone who could outrap half the industry. your fans tease you for melting every time he laughs. he calls you mean on stage. you call him dramatic off stage. neither of you mean it.
it’s messy, domestic, competitive, tender. he helps you warm up your voice with silly scales. you help him write sharper lines for his adlibs. people say the pairing doesn’t make sense. you don’t bother correcting them. it makes perfect sense to you.

YOU SOFTLY HUMMED THE LYRICS of shape of you to yourself as you took a swig of water from your water bottle, letting the cool water wash down your throat. it’d just been another long day of meetings and dance practice - as usual - and it was safe to say that you were exhausted. the only thing keeping you going through your day was the knowledge that heeseung would be back from his tour in 8 hours, and the closer you got to the time, the more you could feel your body buzzing with excitement.
sure, you’d talked to heeseung almost every day since he’d been gone, but you missed actually seeing him. the apartment felt cold, empty, and lonely without him there, and it had only been three weeks since he’d left for the tour. “is this what a couple weeks without heeseung does to me?” you groaned to yourself as you yawned, rubbing your eyes.
deciding that you’d practiced enough for the day, you stood up, gathered your stuff, and made your way out of the bighit building, down to your favorite coffee shop down the street. you waited in line patiently, and when it was your turn you ordered a simple cold brew.
“will that be all?” the barista in front of you asked, smiling at you. you opened your mouth to make a secondary order, before remembering that your boyfriend wasn’t with you. shaking your head at yourself internally, you nodded, instead paying for your order.
once you’d gotten your coffee, you asked your manager to come pick you up and bring you back to your apartment, hoping that she was still awake. no less than ten minutes later, you saw the familiar car pull around and you quickly slid inside, the warmth washing the cold out of your body.
when you’d arrived at your apartment, you thanked her and hopped back out of your car, fumbling with your keys for a moment before putting them in the lock, and then frowned. “that’s odd… the doors unlocked,”
you shrugged it off, knowing the alarm in your security system would’ve alerted you if there was a break in. you stepped inside, took off your shoes, and flipped on the lights, freezing immediately.
“heeseung?” you whispered. “you’re back?” from what you knew, he wasn’t supposed to be back for another 6 hours, so seeing him in your apartment was definitely a surprise. you didn’t even let him get a word out before you ran over, wrapping your arms around him in a tight hug. he chuckled, patting you on the head softly.
“i missed you so much, love,” he mumbled, placing a soft kiss on your lips.
Strange compared to places such as Korea which were frigid in the early months, but because Australia lay in the Southern Hemisphere - it was a lot hotter than other countries in the months beginning the year.
You started to regret coming to the cafe by St. Kilda Beach. The beach was crowded, the weather pleasant enough for hordes of people to travel from around Melbourne and the surrounding areas to relax by the sea side. Paying no one attention, you dutifully started at the Mint Chocolate ice cream, melting slowly in the tub in front of you.
Everything reminded you of her.
One of your closest friends leaving you made you heart clench almost painfully. You had started to burry yourself in work, hoping to distract your mind from her. It was all in vain, memories of her resurfaced forcefully.
Right now, the memory of her forcing you to try Hawaiian pizza made you chuckle. You still hated it, but maybe a little less - since she enjoyed it. Then, the memory of walking around Melbourne on an evening just like this, pinkies linked. She told you so awful jokes, which made you cringe and laugh. She would complain about the warm weather, while you basked in the sun’s rays, laughing at her pout.
She was passionate about music, for as long you could remember. She always carried around her ukulele, becoming obsessed with playing it after learning how to do so during music class in Elementary school. She serenaded you with your favourite songs, her melodious voice sounding sweet in your ears. Her gift for music inspired you to become interested, taking up the guitar in your early teenage years. Many hours were spent together, singing to One Direction and playing on your guitar and ukulele respectively.
When she departed to Korea, she told you to keep playing the guitar, and to never forget her.
How could you ever forget her?
She was you first everything.
First friend.
First person you attended a concert with.
First music partner.
First crush.
You hated yourself slightly. How disgusting that you liked your friend. She was just being polite, but when she held your hand and hugged you - your stupid little heart always jumped. You were stubborn, finding confessing feelings hard - so you decided to create the perfect song to act as a love letter. In her absence, she would probably never see it. She resided eleven hours and fifty seven minutes away, with a two hour difference of time zone. Churning out lyrics, guitar tunes and beat mash ups, you worked tirelessly. Till the perfect song was produced.
Titled; ‘Come Inside Of My Heart’.
Lamenting your feelings of attraction, but narrating how your personality kept your true thoughts and feelings away from her. Begging her to forgive you for your walls built around your mind in an act to protect yourself, which hurt her on many occasions. You invited her into your heart, the key to your innermost fears and emotions.
It was a place only she could see.
Your song was extremely popular on social media, many people your age relating to your conflicting emotions about someone you loved a lot, but found difficult to confess your overwhelming feelings too.
It was just your luck when you were casted by a major company. Deserving a much needed break from school and music, you and your family travelled to Korea. While shopping, you were approached by a woman, who handed you a business card. It read Big - Hit Entertainment. You stared, puzzled that you knew that company name before. It then hit you. The Big Hit Global Audition in October 2019. She passed it and then moved to Korea in the New Year.
Would you be reunited with her? It was a stretch, but worth trying.

Sorry if it's really long. Thank you in advance!
Insecurities Olivia Hye x fem reader
Everyone was hyped when IU announced the special guest idols that would be making an appearance on her YouTube channel. Hyeju was expecially excited to see y/n because she had been her ideal type for a long time.
IU greeted them both everyone just smiling happily at each other while IU gave an introduction about each idols' recent activities.
"And y/n I heard you were recently shot a music video and Keeho from P1Harmony made a surprise appearance." IU commented.
Y/n nodded her head and Hyeju was stuck in a gaze of her beauty, "yes yes, I actually watched his vlive and him and his members were talking about how I was their ideal type. He was so sweet and I'd love to work with him again"
Hyeju was spacing out thinking about how every male and female idol has had or have a crush on y/n and who could blame em. She is stunning. "Can we talk about how you're everyone's ideal type?" IU complimented causing y/n to blush a deep shade of red.
As the conversation went on, Hyeju felt a pang of sadness in her chest, wondering if she would ever be good enough for y/n despite them barley having interactions other than this interview. She knew she wasn't girlie enough, or how she didn't fit into the Korean beauty standards whereas y/n was Korea's it girl. She was the standard, but it was also natural beauty which made people love her even more.
Once the interview was over and they all said their goodbyes, and Hyeju hurriedly left to her apartment where she over thought about the day and cried. Meanwhile, y/n visibly saw how upset Hyeju was during the interview and decided to talk to her at her apartment. She had called Hyeju's manager and ask where she lived because she was concerned at how fast she got upset. Y/n knocked on the door awaiting for an answer. "Yes" Hyeju said dryly before she saw her unnie standing in front of her, "oh! Hello unnie" she greeted using formals.
"may I come in?" Y/n asked and Hyeju stepped aside shutting the door behind her. "Hye look I saw you were upset during the interview. Are you okay?" Hyeju looked down at her fingers from her spot on the sofa where they both were arms length apart.
"yeah I'm okay" Hyeju responded, but y/n could clearly tell she was upset.
Y/n then scooted closer to Hyeju, placing her hand on hers "you don't have to be insecure about your imagine. You're beautiful just the way you are. Beauty standards are lame, because everyone is beautiful in their own way." Hyeju was shocked.
"how did you know that's why I was upset?" The younger woman asked. She refused to look up while she spoke, embarrassed that y/n was wasting her time talking to an idol like her.
"you got all sad once I started talking about ideal types." She answered. "But like I said, you're beautiful okay?" And before Hyeju could give her a reply she felt her soft lips press against hers. Their lips moved in sync for a while before Hyeju pulled away once she realized what had happened.
"i- we can't do this!" She panicked and stood up. "I'm not good enough for you, I could never be enough for you y/n" tears formed in Hyeju's eyes and all Y/n could do at that very moment was pull her into a hug as the shorter girl cried.
"I wrote down some lyrics." You flipped your phone towards the camera, "I just wrote the chorus."
You scratch your cheek humming to yourself chewing on your bottom lip.
"I haven't written the verse yet but I have no idea how the melody would go." You leaned back on your chair with a shrug, "I will play around with how it will sound on the guitar since I wanted a pop rock album."
You wave your hands towards the camera before ending it.
[ 20:30 HOUR, MARCH 11, 2010... ]
It cuts to you sitting on the floor with your beloved electric guitar on your lap, strumming lightly, nodding along with the rhythm you had just created. Seemingly satisfied, you pause and adjusted to prop it up on the table instead of it being on the floor.
"Here I am, I wanted a light strum of the guitar for the intro of the song." You struggle to put your thoughts into words, "Then transition to a more... Hm... I don't know how to describe it. But, just picture pop-rock, strum of the guitar."
You stare off into dead air that last lasted for a minute. Face contorting before bursting into a sneeze.
"Anyways-" You acted as if it was nothing, brushing it off your shoulder, sniffing lightly.
Your manager Mira pipes up from the behind the camera and laughing loudly.
"What was that?"
"What?"
"You're acting so nonchalantly. It made me laugh."
You stare at her.
"Nocha... What?" Your eyebrows draws together.
"Nonchalantly."
You eyes shift from side to side.
"I don't understand Korean." Scrunching your face at the camera.

[ 08:46 HOUR, MARCH 12, 2010... ]
You set the camera on top of the closed lid of the smooth black piano, ensuring that you were in frame, clearing your throat and tossing your hair over shoulder. Sitting up straight. Fingers smoothly moving smoothly across the keys.
Humming lowly and mouthing the lyrics that you have written the night before.
"Good morning." Your producer, Alex Kim, who had about 6 years of experience under his belt in the music industry and music producing, enters through the door holding a steaming cup of coffee.
"Good morning."
"Do you want some coffee?"
You whipped your head around confused.
"What?" [ DITE misheard 커피 ( coffee ) to 코피 ( nosebleeds ) which sounded similar to her. ]
"Coffee."
"Why would I want a nosebleed?"
He smiles at you and an amused chuckle escapes his lips.
"Coffee. Not nosebleeds."
"Oh."
"Tell me, what you're working with." He sips on the hot liquid before setting it down on a small table. Leaning on a wall beside the piano.
"I was thinking for this song there should be light strums of the electric guitar." You told your producer who nods along, "I played it on the piano but it sounds a little different from what I envision. Somewhat a little too sad in my opinion."
"It will go somewhat like this-"
I used to miss your calls. Now, I sit around with 30 3AM missed calls Should have said I love you when you called me yours Now you're hoping I pick up.
"Something like that." You finish off.
"That was really good." He compliments
"Really? I stayed up till midnight to figure out the melody."
"Is this the chorus?"
"Yes."
"We should use for the beginning and then moves to a verse."
"Okay, I like that idea!"
"Have thought of how it should sound instead on the electric guitar?"
"Yeah, somewhat but, it's not as polished as I'd like it to be."
He grabs the electric guitar hands it to you.
"Play it." You proceed to demonstrate the melody to him.
"Okay, I get what you mean." He sat himself on the wheel office chair gliding across the wooden floor of the recording studio, " He grabs his own guitar planting on his lap. You take the camera and filmed him as he proceeds to strum the perfect melody.
"OH! That's exactly what I was thinking."
"Now, that we have that out of the way. We need to start working on the melody for the rest of the song."

[ 09:55 HOUR, MARCH 12, 2010... ]
You were in the booth.
You slip on your headphones over your ear, slightly adjusting, with one of them off your ear. Slinging the straps of your guitar over your shoulder, Alex adjusted the microphone while you fine tune the guitar to perfection.
"Okay, we're recording the strumming first." Alex stood up straight, "Are you ready?"
"No... This one-" You turn one of the keys, playing a soft tune, "Yeah, this one is great."
"Good."
He left the padded room as he sat on the other side of the glass. There was a soft tap of the metronome echoed on your ear, fingers delicately strumming the strings of the electric guitar.
[ 17:29 HOUR, MARCH 12, 2010... ]
[ transition ]
You are curled up on the sofa heavily concentrated on the pink notebook in your hand, tapping the end of your pen on your lip, black lens glasses perched on your nose framing your eyes. Your legs brought up to your chest wrapped in a fluffy blanket.
The instrumental melody playing
Your eyes lights up as you came up with another line in mind.
[ 17:09 HOUR, MARCH 20, 2010... ]

"Can we pause from here please?"
He presses the key to pause the music. You were standing in the middle of the isolated and padded recording room, headphones placed over your ear and piece of paper in your hand with doodles and scribbles scattered on it.
"There's something missing here." You look at Alex through the window of the recording studio, "Can we add like..."
You imitated the sound into the microphone.
"Oh... The synthesizer?"
You look around unsure.
"Uh... I guess."
[ 19:00 HOUR, MARCH 21, 2010... ]
[ zooms ]
Your fingers move across the keys.
[ 23:40 HOUR, MARCH 23, 2010... ]
[ cut ]
Your camera zooms into the equipment in front of you before panning over to the older man beside you,
"Do you feel tired of being around me for this long?"
Alex was focused on the computer in front of him. He was busy dragging and cutting things out of the song while you wait around, he was paying no mind to you.
"Yes."
[ 20:35 HOUR, MARCH 25, 2010... ]
"We're almost done!" You celebrate, "We just add the um... Um..."
You turn to Alex.
"What's it called again?"
"Backing vocals."
"Yes, that." You nod.
"For the outro, we should add the message you get when you get blocked, after the line 'I used to miss your calls'- Then, it cuts to 'You've reach a number that has been disconnected or no longer in service'."

author's note; The lyrics are from Max Schneider but I just changed them up and imagine them pop-rock version. Just imagine they're Korean lyrics cause... Yeah, I don't speak Korean. I just want lyrics to fit with the title I put, ya know?
Recently, the duo soloists who have been taking over the country, IU and 아프로디테 have been spotted out heading to dinner together late in the night, with their arms linked together earlier this week. Photographed by Dispatch.
According to Dispatch, the two chatted enthusiastically and laughing on the way to the restaurant.
An insider close to the pair stated the two met backstage during 'Music Bank' after 아프로디테 approached her after her performance and claimed to be a fan and praising her music. IU also goes on to say to her fellow soloists that she has been listening to her debut album nonstop. The source further claims the two are fond of each other and formed a rather close friendly bond quickly over the fact they have debuted in the industry at a young age.
During an interview recently, IU had been asked about her growing friendship with 아프로디테 and she goes on to describe her as 'bright', 'an infectious happiness and enthusiasm' and 'has a very kind heart'. IU also adds that she is incredibly 'supportive' about everything and they talk on the daily ever since they have met.
아프로디테 was also asked about her friendship with IU, in an interview and she smiles brightly, buzzing in excitement about the newly formed friendship. She also describes IU as 'unbelievably kind', 'hardworking' and 'deserves all the praise and success' that comes to her.
Not only that, many have spoken about the fact the two sends each other gifts and have visited each other where they reside. They spend a lot of time with each other as much as they can during their free time. Their friendship is none other but wholesome.
