Joshua worriedly asked as he held your elbow when you almost tripped on your step. You gave him a reassuring smile before standing up straight.
"I'm fine. Don't worry," you told him even though your feet were already aching from wearing a three-inch heels for four long hours. If only wearing sneakers in a wedding is allowed, you would've done it without second thoughts.
But unfortunately, you can't. So that's a bummer.
Lucky for you though, you have an attentive boyfriend who saw through you. He knew you enough to see that you hiding your pain with your smile, as usual.
"No you're not," he sighed and led you to a nearby bench. "Sit here."
You're about to protest again but he tilted his head and gave you a look that literally says, "Please don't fight me on this."
"Fine," you plopped yourself on the bench and sat comfortably. You were expecting him to sit beside you but then he kneeled in front of you and reached for your feet. "What are you doing?"
He just smiled and removed the straps of your sandals then placed them on the side. You released a sigh of relief when your feet were finally freed from constraints.
"Feeling better now?"
"Yes. Thank you."
"You're welcome, hon," he replied and checked your feet again. When he saw the area with redness, he looked up to you with worried eyes. "You've been enduring it for hours, why didn't you say anything?"
"I didn't want to be whiny at your cousin's wedding."
He let out a chuckle and reached for your hand to kiss it.
"You did a good job, Y/n. But the next time you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me okay?"
You eagerly nodded.
"It's getting late. Should we go home now?"
"But I don't want to wear those stupid heels again."
"I know. So I have a better idea," he turned his back on you. "Hop on."
Good thing you're wearing an ankle-long flowing dress so you don't have to worry about it riding up or something.
You then wrapped your arms around his neck and your legs on his waist.
"I love you Shuji," You whispered as he lifted you up. Upon hearing it, he slightly turned his head to you and looked at you adoringly.
a very random ice skater!minghao x reader brainrot just because ^.^
"You have to let go of my hand now."
Instead of doing what he said, you gripped his hand tighter. He was already biting his lower lip, obviously amused of your current dilemma.
"I can't," you said shaking your head. You felt pathetic because it was you who asked him to teach you how to ice skate but you were actually so afraid to try because you might slip. "How come you're so good at this?"
"I trained Yn," he answered you matter-of-factly. Of course, he did. He looks so graceful whenever he skates on the ice. It's like he was born for it. "I will guide you don't worry."
"What if I slip?"
"Then I'll just have to help you stand up. Come on, you can do it."
His simple encouragement did a lot to boost your resolve.
Little by little, you let go of his hand unconsciously.
He was just smiling at you the entire time.
After a few minutes, you were already getting the hang of it. He was looking at you proudly as you make your own strides.
"It's fun isn't it?"
"It is. I should make a career out of it, what do you think?"
Like a supportive boyfriend he is, he nodded while laughing. "You really should."
However, all of a sudden, you twisted your ankle and dropped to the floor.
Minghao immediately came to your rescue, "Yn are you okay?"
"No, I'm not," you said almost crying because your butt really hurts after you fell.
"Okay. Let's get you out of here. Can you stand?"
You shook your head, "Can you just carry me on your back?"
He contemplated for a second, "No. That won't do."
And the next thing you know, you were already floating.
No.
He scooped you up gently then carried you bridal-style.
How he managed to skate from the middle of the ice rink to the benches while carrying you, you have absolutely no idea.
a/n: he kept appearing on my tl so i took it as a sign and wrote this lmao. love you, my tangerine!
you were already half-awake when you heard someone knocking on your bedroom door.
"yn?" you immediately recognized your boyfriend's voice. "it's me, seungkwan."
but instead of getting up, you stayed buried in your sheets and even covered your face with a pillow to block the sunlight that's seeping through your window sill.
"are you there?"
you still didn't respond. this obviously bothered him so he opened the door very slowly. he peeked inside only to find you still halfway in dreamland.
"i can't believe you!" he dramatically gasped and marched towards your bed. "why are you still not ready?"
"why are you here?" you asked groggily. you actually know the reason why he came but you always found it cute when he's annoyed so you acted like you totally forgot.
of course, you succeeded because his mouth went wide open and he was shaking his head in disbelief.
"why am I here?" he repeated your question and pettily grabbed the pillow away from your face. "are you seriously asking me that? we agreed to go out today yn! i can't believe you forgot!"
"i thought we were going out on the weekends."
"it's already saturday yn!" he replied while pouting and giving you that particular stare which screams, 'i am so done with you!'
"i'm sorry babe," you finally apologized because it was really your fault for not waking up early. "i didn't forgot. i am just too sleepy since I slept late last night."
his mood instantly shifted from being annoyed to worried. he carefully settled himself on the side of your bed and extended his hand to caress your face lightly.
"then do you want us to just stay here? I can let you rest the whole day. we can have our date on another day." he said it so sweetly it almost melted your heart. it might seem like he's the dramatic one most of the time but he's actually very considerate to you and your needs.
"of course not. we should go," you said indignantly. you were looking forward to this day since you haven't had a real date for a while because you have been both busy with work for the past weeks, especially seungkwan. with their group having a comeback, his schedule was really tight.
"are you sure?"
when you nodded in confirmation, he instantly flashed that cute smile of his. seriously, why is everything about him so adorable?
"okay then. you better get ready now!" he pulled both of your arms and eventually succeeded on making you get up. when you tugged his arm back, he stared at you with a confused expression. "what now?"
"can you turn around please?"
"what are you planning to do?" he asked you suspiciously and you can't help but let out a laugh.
"just do it please," it was obvious that he was still baffled but he exactly did what you asked.
"gosh yn! what are you--" he immediately complained when you suddenly rode his back.
"to the bathroom, please!" you squealed.
"you have your own feet, you know."
"i know. but I'm still so sleepy," you rested your head on his shoulders and pretended to close your eyes. he scoffed.
"you're such a baby," he grumbled but he still linked both of his arms to your legs so you won't fall.

Listen he gets it. You’re a first-time wife, a first-time mom. It’s your first time juggling a job and a small family of three with him.
But it’s his first time too. He’s a first-time husband, a first-time dad. The first time he’s ever felt this way for someone.
You’ve made him a feel a plethora of things—his heart growing three times bigger than the size of his chest, the warm tingle of his fingertips, the overwhelming flush he feels when you look at him so tenderly, the comforting lull of your presence, the boundless courage to do anything for you and your family—
Right now, he has this agitated, petty longing for you to just look at him. Yes, him, Jeon Wonwoo, your husband. It was pressing at him all week.
One morning, you were prepping both your breakfast and packed lunch. Yegeon sits on his high chair, busying himself with a mess of mashed carrots and a sippy cup of milk. Wonwoo is finishing up the putting the dishes away while you’re making an elaborate yet careful design on your husband’s lunch.
Patting his hands dry, Wonwoo turns around, noticing how his son’s stubby fingers struggle to reach for the bottle he’s knocked over.
“Aigo, Yegeon-ah,” he coos, righting the sippy cup and handing it Yegeon. The little boy babbles incoherently, pursing his pink lips over the cup. Wonwoo fondly smiles, caressing his son’s head before pressing a kiss over his thick short hair.
Yegeon, is nearly a spitting image of his appa when he was a toddler. Full cheeks, dark eyes, and a sharp cupid’s bow. It was still too early to tell, but when Wonwoo looks closely, Yegeon seems to have more of your eye shape and nose. The thought makes him giddy, to see a manifestation of your love—half you and half him.
You’re still focused on portioning the banchan when Wonwoo walks over to you. His arms wind across your waist and he leans down to kiss your temple. You’re both smelling like fried egg, coffee, and faintly of your fabric conditioner. It smells like slow mornings before you both have to eventually rush out the door the minute your mother arrives to look after Yegeon. You smile, tilting your head towards him before softly meeting his lips in a loving kiss. Parting from each other, Wonwoo nuzzles into the crook of your neck while you close the lids and pack them into the insulated lunch bags. Just as he slowly melts into your presence, there’s a loud clatter on the floor.
Instantly, you pull away from him when you see that your baby had dropped his sippy cup yet again.
Wonwoo is left cold and he unconsciously pouts when you do. He’s immediately embarrassed though, because he knows he’d drop anything he’s doing when it came to his son. But he couldn’t help it. Between juggling parenting a toddler, working, and fighting to stay a functioning civilian, he’s missed you.
You had texted him later that day, telling him you had to go on an emergency over time so he didn’t have to pick you up after work. The demand for your attention at work had increased lately, which meant you came home tired with only enough energy to mother and get ready for bed. Wonwoo did his part in taking care of most things like bathing Yegeon, prepping him for bed, cleaning up, and looking after your son when he wakes up in the middle of the night. He did anything he could do to ease your mind, anything that did not involve the kitchen that is. Luckily, your mother loved cooking and would often leave food that unintentionally would last you both three days.
So, when the sound of the passcode to your home beeps, his head and Yegeon’s head comically perks up from the carpeted floor where they were playing. Wonwoo turns to his son with bright eyes, and as if understanding his appa’s silent message, he lifts his chubby arms up towards him. He picks him up with ease and pads to the doorway.
They find you kicking off your shoes, shoulders sagging with exhaustion as you call out tiredly, “I’m home!”
You lift your head to find both your husband and your baby at his hip watching you with warm smiles. It’s an amusing difference of size with Wonwoo’s shoulders dwarfing the toddler in his arms. It does wonders to your weary soul that you give a crooked smile, and open your arms.
“Oh, baby, I missed you.”
Wonwoo grins broadly and lifts his free arm to bring you into a welcoming embrace.
To his surprise, however, its left hanging in the air as you reach for Yegeon and lift him into your arms, cooing and pressing giddy kisses into his plump cheeks.
“Have you been good to halmeoni, hm, Yegeon-ah?” you cuddle him to your chest when the boy just sputters and giggles, “Of course, you have!”
Wonwoo is left standing there by the door way, as you walk over to the living room. He blinks once, then twice until he frowns and begrudgingly follows after you.
Your parents come over two days later to pick up Yegeon and his baby bag full of necessities that would last him three nights. You had been reluctant to agree when Wonwoo first suggested the much-needed rest but eventually caved in till the cheeky bastard purposefully mentioned it in front of your mother. Your mother was more than happy to take Yegeon before she went on a tangent on how you should take better care of yourself and how investing in yourself and your husband would help you accommodate your child better.
You sigh, giving your husband a nasty side eye before conceding with a quietly admitting that you needed the break too right after all the hullaballoo at work. Wonwoo made you agree to promptly leave work and refuse overtime so you could maximize rest at home.
Wonwoo gets it when he reminds himself, you’re a first-time mom and it’s your first time being away from your son. He really does.
But why was he begrudgingly staring at your profile from the opposite end of the couch while you’re busy typing away at your phone. You had just gotten off the phone with him to videocall your parents to check on Yegeon. Yet you were still constantly texting instructions and details to your mother as if she didn’t raise you and your brother’s stubborn asses.
Deciding he’s had enough, he unceremoniously plops his head into your lap. You grunt in surprise, but you barely spare him a glance as you’re typing rapid fire questions on your phone. He frowns, finding some boldness in his agitation as he tugs your sleeve.
“Darling, they’ll be fine. Yegeon loves his grandparents and they know what they’re doing.”
You hum, still typing away that he wonders if you heard him. Huffing, he swiftly gets up, only to lift you by the waist then tackle you back down into the couch. His whole bodyweight rests above you as he cages you tightly in his arms. You yelp his name, dropping your phone in the process.
“What are you doing?!”
He says nothing, instead, your husband just nuzzles into your collarbone. The soft strands of his dark hair tickles your jaw and the suddenness of it all makes you giggle, “What’s gotten into you?”
He still doesn’t reply, pulling you even closer to him. You sigh, wriggling your arms out to properly accommodate him into your embrace. Your arms wrap around his shoulder blades and you proceed to caress the broad expanse of his back.
“Big baby,” you tease before kissing his hair. He only grunts, relaxing into your touch.
Big baby.
Big baby.
Big-
A sudden realization sparks in your mind and your husband feels it from the hitch of your breath and halting of your ministrations.
“Baby?” you say, twisting your arms so you could cup his cheeks and coax him to look at you. Wonwoo barely raises his head to see the teasing glint in your eyes.
“Baby, did you just want me to yourself?”
His face remains stoic, but you know your husband well enough to tell what the purse of his lips and the flush of his ears mean. You bite back your laughter, “You’ve got to be kidding me, Jeon Wonwoo.”
He huffs, dropping his forehead back into your chest and groaning when he feels the vibrations of your body as you laugh.
“You’re competing with your own child!”
Wonwoo is already embarrassed as he is, still he manages to lightly pinch your sides and mumble, “It’s not just Yegeon I’m competing with.”
He only meant it as a defense but then you fall silent and hum. Your fingers are gently running through his hair, nails pleasantly scratching his scalp as he falls into the rhythm of your breath.
“Oh, Wonwoo, I’m sorry. I’ll do more to balance everything on my plate,” you apologize softly.
Wonwoo lifts his head, resting on his elbows as he looks at you tenderly. “Darling, it’s not that. I really appreciate all you do for us.”
His hand reaches up to brush the locks of hair away from your face, “But I want you to remember that you don’t have to do more than you can. You don’t have to. I’m here…our families are here. They love Yegeon so much. We’re going to be fine. You don’t need to do more.”
You gaze at him wide eyed for a moment then the bottom of your lip juts out and your eyes gloss over.
“You’re amazing,” you breathe out, “I love you so much.”
Smiling, he holds your cheek, “You do?”
You raise a mock offended brow at him, “Of course, I do.”
Wonwoo hums, tracing the delicate skin beneath your eyes before he leans down to sweetly kiss each eye.
“Well, then you can show me,” he flops his head back down to your chest and brings your hand to his back like he was demanding you coddle him.
Your laughter rings beautifully in the air, resting your head back on the cushions you smile contentedly.
“Big baby.”
“Your big baby.”

content: married life, dad!seungcheol's reaction when your daughter received a love letter.
(spoiler alert: he freaked out😭)
word count: 1.5k
Tuesday nights have always been Seungcheol's turn to wash the dishes. In retrospect, no one can even make him do a single household chore when he was younger. He grew up surrounded by helpers who were paid to do the job so he didn't try as much to learn them.
However, that changed when he married you. Probably it was because of how you were raised differently from him but you’re not comfortable of having other people hovering around your house to "do things you can do on your own". And unwilling as he was at first, Seungcheol just obeyed what you wanted because well, that's how whipped he is. (He'd undoubtedly say yes had you even declared the sky green.)
So here he is, seven years later, a "master" on the craft of washing the dishes. It's silly how such a simple thing could make him so happy but really, it wasn't easy for him to reach this point. He broke plates after plates that he swore at one point he saw you gritting your teeth like you were one thread away from strangling him.
But he said that every time you would smile at him and utter a soft thank you, hell, everything's worth it.
"Why are you smiling like a fool?"
He turned to see you leaning on the counter watching him with suspicion. A sheepish smile escaped from Seungcheol's lips as he reached out for a dry towel to wipe his hands.
"You don't have to know," he teased.
Your brows furrowed, "You better not be thinking of another woman or else..."
Seungcheol chuckled and walked towards you. He leaned, placing his hands on your sides, caging you on the counter. The action was so sudden it caught you off guard.
"How would I do that when you're everything I think about every waking day of my life? Hmm?" He planted a kiss on your shoulder which made you gasp. Years into your marriage but this little things your husband does still makes you giddy like a teenager. And of course, the blush spreading all over your face didn't escape Seungcheol, causing him to grin wider. Your reaction to his touch will always be his favorite drug.
"Now, you're just flattering me..."
"I'm being sincere," Seungcheol insisted and met your eyes. "I still can't believe that after all these years, I'm actually married to you. How can I be so damn lucky?"
After he said that, your pouting lips turned into a wide smile. He is such a dork, you thought. You can't resist it anymore so you cupped his cheeks to kiss the tip of his nose. Being the competitive guy that he is, he did the same to you while chuckling.
"I'm luckier to have married you, Cheollie. You're everything I've dreamed of a husband."
"Are you sure? I remember six years ago, you said you'll divorce me because I forgot to clean our room."
"Well, you already learned your lesson, didn't you?"
Seungcheol nodded, "I most certainly did."
"Oh by the way, I have something to tell you," you said a little bit later. Your arms were already wrapped around Seungcheol's waist with your chin on his broad chest.
"Baby no. 3?" Seungcheol asked hopefully and he only received a pinch on his side. "Aw! I'm just kidding sweetheart!"
"Tss," You removed yourself from Seungcheol but you still didn't let go of his arm while you gently dragged him to your living room. You picked up something from your coffee table and even though he was basically towering over you, he still wasn't able to have a clear sight of what it was because you were quick to hide it on your back.
"What is it?” He curiously asked but instead of answering him immediately, you slightly squeezed his arm."Promise me you won't have a heart attack?"
"How can I promise that sweetheart? Come on."
"Well, okay. Just please don't pass out."
"You're just making me nervous."
You pursed your lips and handed him the familiar heart-shaped paper. The last time he got a hold of something similar to this was during Valentine's Day and he almost lashed out. Good thing, you were able to prevent him from doing so.
"W-what's the meaning of this?"
You clicked your tongue trying to supress your laughter. Knowing your husband, you kind of expected this reaction from him already.
"Found that in your daughter's workbook. I was helping her with her assignment and that fell."
"Damn it! Seriously?" Seungcheol dramatically gasped and stared at the piece of paper again. "Sweetheart, you've already read this haven't you?"
"I did."
"And you're not bothered?"
"No, I'm not. Actually, I find it cute," you replied.
"It isn't." Seungcheol almost shouted but tried hard not to make it too loud because he was well aware the twins were already sleeping. "Look here sweet, whoever this kid was, confessed he has a crush on Chaewon and even wrote I LOVE YOU! He wrote I LOVE YOU to our daughter!"
You finally burst into fits of laughter, "What's wrong with that?"
Seungcheol was starting to get annoyed now but it immediately dissipated when you touched his arm and guided him to sit on the couch.
"Calm down Cheollie. It's just a simple note. No need to fret so much about it," you tried to ease him and Seungcheol sighed. He reached for your hand and pressed it as if he's trying to summon his lost composure.
"I mean...that kid wrote those words for our daughter. To our princess. And he's only what? Six years old? Does he even know what it means?"
"Don't insult the feelings of that kid, Cheollie. You yourself even proposed to someone when you were just what? Three?"
Shock passed through Seungcheol's face. He was just going to defend himself when you waved your free hand. "Don't even try to deny it. It was your mom who told me about it."
"Fine. But that's beside the point...last time it was Jungwon. Our little prince received a similar letter with three red roses on Valentine's Day and now it's Chaewon...and an I love you? God! The moment we received the result of your pregnancy test even felt like it just happened yesterday and now, they're receiving these...things. It's too fast. They're growing up too fast."
"Cheollie. It's not as if they're already marrying--"
Seungcheol was quick to cut off what you were supposed to say. "God no sweetheart! They're just six-year olds!"
"Exactly my point," You calmly said and closed the gap between you by hugging him and burying your face on the crook of Seungcheol's neck. "So loosen up, okay?"
"I'm sorry. It's just that... I know that after several years they'll grow up and will meet a lot of people. And then eventually, both of our kids will each meet the person they will love...but right now, I really just want them to enjoy their childhood first...is that too much to ask?" Seungcheol immediately stopped talking when he heard you sniffing. "Are you crying?"
You lifted your head and hurriedly wiped your tears without looking at him. "This is your fault."
"What did I do?" Seungcheol asked teasingly and helped dry your cheeks. "Okay, I'll stop being irrational now so you should stop crying too."
You immediately shook your head, "You're not being irrational. You're just being a good, scratch that, the best father you have always been. You're loving and responsible."
"And?"
"Fine. Handsome too. Very," they both chuckled. "Jungwon and Chaewon are sure lucky to have you as a father."
“And you as their mother," Seungcheol kissed your forehead.
"Seriously though," You suddenly said and peeked at the paper your husband was holding. "The kid is undeniably sweet writing a letter like that."
"Sweetheart..." He groaned and his plump red lips automatically turning into a pout like that of a kid sulking.
"Sorry," you giggled. "I won't bring it up again."
You both just stayed on the couch for a long time hugging each other. And even with just that, everything felt perfect.
"Cheollie?" You called in a whisper.
"Hmm?"
"I just realized something after reading that kid's letter."
"Uhuh?" Seungcheol responded expectantly.
"That I don't say those words a lot to you," Your voice wavered. "Even if you very much deserved to hear it everyday."
Seungcheol can't help but smile because he is completely aware that you're not the most expressive when it comes to your feelings (which is a complete opposite of him) but he also knew that you have so much love to give and you just have a different way to express it.
"Even if you don't say it everyday sweetheart, I can always feel your love for me and for the twins. And that, " Seungcheol hugged you tighter, "...is more than enough.
"But still, I feel like you want to hear it."
"I do but--"
"I love you, Cheollie." You said rather abruptly and buried your face on Seungcheol's chest. He could only laugh at your cuteness.
"Are you seriously acting shy now?"
Shame was definitely already creeping on your system so you slapped his chest and whined in a low voice, "Stop teasing me!"
You were supposed to go to your hometown for the weekends. Unfortunately, there was a storm coming in the area so your mother, being the worrywart that she is, strictly told you to just stay in your apartment because it'll be dangerous if you push through with your travel.
And you did.
However, as early as ten in the morning, you were already bored as hell. You've tried taking a nap since the weather was perfect for it but it wasn't working, so you just stayed up and decided to review for your exams even though they are still a month away.
Moments later, you were already so immersed in reading when your phone suddenly rang. You absentmindedly answered it without even bothering to check who it was.
"Hello?"
"Did you just woke up?" You heard a familiar voice on the other line. It only took you half a second for you to recognize that it was Seokmin.
"Nope. Been awake since four. What's up?"
"Nothing. Just checking up on you. Your mom said you didn't go home?"
"Yes, I didn't. Storm's a bitch," you automatically groaned when you remember how disappointed you were earlier. You leaned back on your chair, "Why would she tell you though?"
"Well, she said her daughter might be crying because she's alone in her apartment right now."
"Stop it, Seok. I know she didn't say that. And besides, I'm already an adult. I can handle myself," you confidently defended yourself which made him chuckle.
"I'm sure you can. Looks like I have nothing to worry about then. I'll hang up now."
"Okay," you waited for him to hang up before you could go back to what you were doing seconds have passed but he still didn't drop the call. "I thought you're hanging up."
"I can't."
"I knew it," It was now your turn to laugh. You know he'd be saying a cheesy line any minute now, like he always does. You already told him that it makes you cringe but he still says them for you anyway. Because he knows that no matter how much you deny it, it still makes your heart flutter like crazy. "I bet you'll say something like you love hearing my voice, won't you?"
"You got me. I can listen to your voice the whole day."
"Well, Mister. You can't just hear it for free, I'm sorry. Your trial period is over. I'll be hanging up right now," you opted to teasing him, because you were too shy to admit you also feel the same way for him.
"Then how does hamburger and pizza sound for a payment?"
Your mouth automatically went agape when you heard his offer. You haven't eaten any breakfast because you were so lazy to get out and buy something. Plus, it's also near lunch time now and your stomach is already growling in hunger. Talk about perfect timing!
"Okay! Deal! I'll wait for it!"
"You're so quick when it comes to food, aren't you?"
"You know I live for it."
"Then is it me or hamburgers?"
"Don't be cruel. I never once made you choose between ramyeon and me."
"Okay," he chuckled. "Fair point."
"Did you already order it?"
"It's already on its way, Madam."
"I'm sorry. You know how impatient am I when I'm starving--" you weren't able to finish what you were saying when you were interrupted by a sudden knocking . "Wait, someone's at my door. I'll just check who it is."
You hurriedly went out of your room and it wasn't long before you arrived at your front door. When you finally opened it, there he was...
A guy wearing a black hoodie, holding two boxes of pizza and hamburgers in his left hand with his phone on his right hand, smiling shyly at you.
"Hi, love."
You let out a chortle and pulled him into a hug. It obviously surprised him but he still hugged you back eventually and then kissed the top of your head.
It was definitely Seokmin, your cheesy sweet boyfriend.
prompt: "are you guys dating?" or that one time you strongly denied your relationship and he got sulky(?)
a/n: another fic for my fave secret dating x brother's bestfriend trope >.<. this was initially posted on another site before i decided to took it down and let it sit on my drafts for a year lol.
It was already two in the morning but you were still wide awake. With all the things you have done the whole day, it was expected that everyone, including you, would doze off as soon as you get on your beds. Unfortunately, you didn't.
The guilt that has been consuming you since earlier is what's actually making it hard for you to sleep. You had been rolling on the bed too many times as if that would help ease the regret you had been feeling (spoiler alert: it didn't).
When you arrived at your vacation house this morning, you and Vernon had tried to be as discreet with your relationship as possible. You going on a trip together wasn't a new sight, anyway. Vernon and your older brother, Wonwoo had been friends since freshmen year of college so the former is usually invited in times like this and so you both thought you could just let this three days pass without anyone knowing what you really have. However, it seemed like Wonwoo already had a hint about it and had been watching you the entire time. And alas! While you were having dinner, the million-dollar question was finally dropped.
"Are you guys dating?"
Vernon was about to answer but you suddenly panicked and was the one who replied instead, "Of course not. He is just like an older brother to me!"
As soon as you said it, you already wanted to take it back. But it was too late. Vernon may not have said a word but the disappointed look on his face spoke volumes. After that, you avoided each other for the rest of the night.
To be honest, this had been a subject of your arguments a couple of times before. Vernon wanted to tell your friends and families that you have been together for four months already but you're against it. It isn't because you were embarassed about your relationship or afraid that your family would say something negative (if anything, they're very very supportive). It's just that you wanted to enjoy the privacy you had without others minding your business, especially your brother Wonwoo who had been protective of you since your fallout with Joshua, even though it had been years and you have already moved on. He's also the reason why your past suitors had immediately scrammed away after going through the interrogation stage.
"Stop scaring them, will you?" You remembered complaining one time but your brother just shrugged.
"If they get scared of me and give up that easily then they're not really willing to fight for you. People like that are not worth it."
You knew you brother means well but sometimes you just want him to tone down the scare meter a little bit. Because if this continues, you might end up being single for the rest of his life.
But then, Vernon happened.
You already knew who Vernon was since he was a senior in high school. Vernon lives alone because the rest of his family is in another country. That's why when he gets a weekend off from the university, he would tag along with Wonwoo to your house to hang out. He is basically a part of your family now. However, the both of them didn't got the chance to talk to each other because you were busy studying and usually just stays in your room the whole day when Vernon visits.
That set-up lasted for months until your first day in college. Wonwoo was supposed to give you the tour but had to cancel since he had to attend to something urgently. Of course, knowing you would whine about it nonstop, Wonwoo sent another person to guide you.
It's none other than *drum rolls please*, his best friend, Vernon. Surprise, surprise!
"Hi," that was just the first word that Vernon said to you (while sporting that smile that YOU swear would actually make anyone melt if possible), but you already knew you would fall for him. HARD.
You wouldn't admit it at first. The guy's nice (and freaking handsome and hot too) but you didn't want to give meaning to that kindness because you thought Vernon might just be doing it because you are his bestfriend's sister. However, it wasn't easy to supress the feelings when every time your eyes meet or when you smile at each other, butterflies would fill your stomach.
Not to mention, Vernon would also never forget to buy you your fave Iced Americano every chance he gets.
Luckily, it isn't a one-sided affection. Because apparently, Vernon is feeling the same towards you. The confession was nothing grand but for you, it was romantic and perfect.
It was in the middle of the crowd, during the Music Festival as your university's resident band was playing Enchanted by Taylor Swift, when Vernon looked at you directly in the eye and told you, "I like you so much y/n. I know this might be too sudden for you but I've been keeping this for a while and I just want to let it out. It's alright if you won't like me back ---"
"Shut up. I like you too," You replied while chuckling. You found Vernon blabbering cute because most of the time when you're together, you did the most talking and he would just agree and smile at you every now and then.
That was also the night that your relationship became official.
What followed was the happiest four months of your life. But now you're afraid that it would be cut short if you won't reconcile with Vernon as soon as possible.
You weren't able to take it anymore so you finally got up and carefully tiptoed as you went out of the room. You were just about to go to the next room but you heard a soft mumbling sound from the living room. That's when you realized that someone other than you were still up and is watching the television.
At first, you thought it was your brother but when you saw the brown hair peeking on the couch's headrest, it was a confirmation that it was him—your boyfriend.
Biting your lower lip, you walked towards Vernon who still haven't noticed that you were there. It didn't seem like he was focused to what he was watching, he was more like 'spacing out".
"Nonie?" You called softly and poked at Vernon's arm. The latter automatically looked up to you and blinked multiple times, probably making sure if you were really there or just his imagination.
"Why are you still awake?" Vernon reached for your hand and squeezed it lightly. You resisted yourself from crying because of how sweet your boyfriend is right now when he should be mad at you.
"I'm sorry about earlier," you said but Vernon shook his head.
"I should be the one saying sorry, babe. I told you I would respect your decision but I still acted up."
"But I know you're upset about it, Nonie."
"No. A little disappointed, I guess. I just don't want to hide anything anymore, especially our relationship. I don't want this to stay like a dirty secret because it's not."
You nodded and came over to sit on Vernon's lap. Your boyfriend was obviously taken aback but he just let you be eventually. He even encircled his arms in your waist to pull you closer.
"Okay. We'll tell them tomorrow."
Vernon's eyes widened. "Tomorrow?"
"Why are you so surprised?" You let out a laugh. "Are you still not ready?'
"Of course, I am. I've been preparing for it for months,"
"So you're not scared of Wonwoo-oppa?"
"As my friend, no. But as your brother, yes. I can even imagine him strangling me the second he finds about us."
They both knew that's far from Wonwoo's personality so he would most likely not do that but who knows? It could be worse.
"You'll be fine, Nonie. But if ever you get broken bones, don't worry, there's a nearby hospital, we can just--aw" you tried teasing him but Vernon was already pinching your nose before you could even finish your sentence.
a/n: just me having a tiny brainrot of a dad!mingyu being a scaredy-cat lmao i could bet this would happen in real life jk
and i'm just hoping i wrote it as fun as how it played in my head😭
He wasn't saying anything, but you could tell there was something wrong as he pressed himself closer to you.
"Love, are you okay?" You finally asked.
"Did I wake you up?" Guilt laced his voice. "I'm sorry."
"No, it's fine," you turned to face him but his arms remained wrapped around you. "Are you having nightmares again?"
He shook his head. "I'm not. But I'm definitely hearing something..."
Your brow furrowed, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know, I might just be imagini---"
And as if on cue, you both heard it. It sounded like a whimper, like someone crying.
Right then, you already knew who it was, so you didn't even hesitate to get up. Mingyu, however, was quick to grab your wrist. "Love, where are you going? What if it's a ghost?"
"It's not a ghost, Love. I'm certain about that."
"How?"
"I just know, okay? Now let me go so we can both get some sleep."
He hesitated, but seeing your determination, he finally let you get out of his hold. However, it didn't mean his worry dissipated.
He followed you as you walked towards your bedroom door. When you opened it, your hunch was confirmed.
Right outside your room, was your son Jion hugging his knees, crying. You immediately crouched before him.
"Jion, why are you crying, sweetheart?" Upon hearing your voice, the child looked up at you, tears streaming down his chubby cheeks.
"I can't sleep, Mama."
"Then you should have just come into our room. I told you before, right? You can always sleep beside us, anytime," you assured him.
"But Mama, I'm already a big boy. I should be able to sleep on my own, but I still can't," he sobbed even louder. Mingyu, who had been quietly watching, kneeled down and spread his arms. Understanding what it meant, Jion quickly went to his father for a hug.
"It doesn't matter how big you are, you can still sleep with us anytime you want," Mingyu told him while giving your son light comforting pats on his back.
"Really, Papa?" Jion asked. "Can I still get 'sleep hugs' even when I'm already old?"
Mingyu nodded and kissed the top of Jion's head. "Of course, you can."
"Just don't scare your Papa again next time," you teased which then earned you a fake glare and pout from your husband.
content: fluff, college au, tutor!won, junhui is your twin brother
wc: 770
"Hey Y/n? Are you okay? Why do you look so glum?" Your older brother Junhui pinched your cheeks waking you up from your reverie. You just sighed and removed his hand from your face.
"Maybe I really did something bad on my past life to deserve this punishment," you shook your head in dismay. "Why do you even have to suck all the genius blood in our mother's womb and then left nothing for me? What a twin brother you are."
Junhui let out a hearty laugh. He's obviously enjoying this. "So you're being like this because Wonwoo is tutoring you?"
"Do you really have to ask?" you hissed at him. "You could've at least convinced Mom that you'll just be the one to tutor me. You're one of the top students, for God's sake!"
"Yes, but I'd rather not do that because one,” he held up his hand before you and folded a finger. “You're unbearable and you always have a lot of things to complain when I'm teaching you. Two, I have better things to do and three, I'm helping my bestfriend earn his voluntary work hours."
"Just say you love your bestfriend than your own sister."
"I don't. I still love you more. But this might prove beneficial to you in the long run, just give it a shot."
"And how would it benefit me? I would have to spend an hour a day with your prick of a bestfriend! Do you know how torturous that is for me?"
"Well, I think not as torturous as me having to put up with all your unreasonable whining," said a familar voice which was obviously not Junhui's. You turned around only to find the person you have been badmouthing right now. He's still wearing his university uniform with his spectacles on.
Okay. It's hard not to notice that he looks so handsome with it but of course, you're not gonna admit that out loud.
"Bro, you're finally here!" Your brother greeted him and they did this fistbump thingy they always do when they meet each other. "Just please pretend you didn't hear what she said. She didn't have her daily fill of coffee so she's a little dramatic right now."
"She's always dramatic," Wonwoo shrugged. "I'm used to it by now."
You automatically groaned in annoyance, "Don't talk that way about me like I'm not here!"
They both stared at you for a second until Junhui tapped Wonwoo's shoulder. "I'm gonna leave her to you now. I know you can handle her."
Wonwoo nodded, "I guess I have to try my best."
Before you could hear any more of their snide remarks, you already turned around and marched your way to the study room where you will be doing the tutoring session.
It didn't take long until Wonwoo finally followed you. He put down his things first on the table before looking at you.
"Y/n," he calmly called and you swear you could feel his stare digging to the deepest part of your soul. "Won't you give me a hug?"
Your lips broke into a wide smile as you rushed over to him and encircled your arms around his neck. "I missed you."
"I missed you too, babe. Haven't seen you in school the whole day and when I finally came here, I had to hear you call me prick," a hint of sulking was etched on Wonwoo's voice.
"You know I didn't mean that," you said and cupped his face using both of your hands. "I just had to put up a show to my brother. I had to hide my excitement or else he'll know."
"Truth is, he already knows Y/n..."
"What?"
"Jun already knows were together," Wonwoo chuckled upon seeing your shock-stricken face. "He actually set up this whole thing. You know he could tutor you himself but he convinced your Mom that I will do it."
"I bet that's why he was laughing at me earlier. I might've looked so stupid. He's really a menace! He should've just told me the truth," you buried your face in his chest while he tightened his hold on your waist. "And you even agreed with him on calling me dramatic!"
"Because it's true?" he teased which earned him a slap on the back from you. "Nonetheless, it's still one of the many things I love about you, Y/n. It's part of your charm."
You giggled upon hearing what he said, "Should we just go on a date?"
"No," he replied. "We should get some tutoring done today or your brother would wring my neck."
It was already 9 pm when you decided it was time for you and Luna to go home. You were at your parents' house because it was your mother's birthday na naging mini-reunion na din. You were having fun catching up with your relatives you haven't seen for so long that you didn't notice the time.
Nagpaalam ka sa mga pinsan mo na papasok ka na sa loob ng bahay para gisingin ang anak mo. You were just about to proceed to the second floor nang makita mong naglalaro sa sala si Luna habang nakaupo sa kandungan ng isang lalaki na abala rin sa pakikipag-usap sa mga magulang mo. A smile immediately escaped your lips when you realized who it was. You walked towards them and it was as if your daughter felt your presence that she immediately whipped her head on your direction.
"Mommy!"
Doon na napalingon sa'yo ang iba pang mga naroon. But your eyes was only drawn to your husband, Junhui, who excitedly waved his hand at you. Nakita iyon ni Luna at ginaya ang ginawa ng ama.
Nang makalapit ka ay agad na inabot ni Junhui ang kamay mo, intertwining your fingers.
"Sabi mo you can't come today. Hindi ba may shoot kayo?" you probably sounded like a whining kid but it just made Junhui giggle.
"You really thought palalampasin ko birthday ni Mama?" He said and winked at your Mom who just laughed at your husband's antics. "Maaga natapos shoot namin kaya dumiretso na ako rito, okay? Wag na tampo."
"You should've texted me," you said in a small voice as you settled yourself beside him. When Luna noticed that, agad siyang lumipat sa kandungan mo. Muntik pa siyang mahulog pero mabuti na lang at mabilis ang reflexes ng daddy niya kaya agad siyang nahawakan.
"Careful, baby," He softly said at tinulungan muna ang anak niyo na makaayos ng upo bago siya bumaling sayo. "I was planning to surprise you kasi but you were talking with your cousins when I arrived. I decided not to interfere na lang to give you your privacy. You mentioned din kasi last time na you missed having chika with them."
"Pwede ka naman makichika sa amin."
"It's all good, mahal. I can just have you tell me everything mamaya pag uwi natin sa bahay."
"Oh diba chismoso ka din."
He let out a chortle. "Nah. I just love how you tell your stories. Whatever it is about, you make it all sound interesting."
- a little self-indulgent project i made last year lmao. hope u enjoy it!
"You've been listening to that the whole day, love." May pagtatampo sa boses ni Soonyoung habang abala siya sa paghilot ng paa mo na nakapatong sa hita niya. "Hindi ka ba nagsasawa?"
"When did I ever get tired of listening to your songs? I'm not a carat for nothing."
"I don't doubt that naman," he stopped massaging you for a moment and looked at you pouting. "Pero bakit naman yung DARUMDARIMDA lang ni Mingyu pinapakinggan mo? Naka-loop pa ata yan eh."
Hindi mo na napigilang matawa dahil sa expression niya. How can a grown man like him be this adorable? You reached for his hand at marahang ipinatong iyon sa tiyan mo.
"I think you have this little hamster inside to blame. Mas trip niya boses ng future ninong niya eh."
Mas lalo lang itong sumimangot, “Ipapa-ban ko na yan si Mingyu dito sa bahay. Aagawan niya pa ako ng fan!"
if you want to end up with an extremely sulky boyfriend who’ll insist on giving you the silent treatment for the rest of the day, then yeah, go ahead and avoid his kisses. cheol would obviously be so petty the second he’d notice you ignoring his kisses on purpose, he’d spend the day giving you an attitude in his sulky choi seungcheol manner. funny thing is how by the end of the day cheol would be low key on the verge of death, because he didn’t get to touch you, hug you, cuddle you, etc throughout the day (and the only person to blame is him, his pride, and his stubbornness) (can you imagine his clinginess after not being able to touch you for the whole day?)
❥ jeonghan
you chose the wrong person to mess with. even if you avoid his kiss only once, your precious hannie turns into the menace yoon jeonghan - no partner privileges can save you from his pettines when you ignore his kisses. he’s kind of the same as cheol, clingy and in need of your touch, but whereas cheol is a whiny baby, jeonghan uses your own weapon against you. he’ll avoid kissing you, he’ll avoid hugging you, he’ll avoid doing all of the things he knows you love. he’d wait till the point where you’d come sulking to him, upset that he’s just being mean, because after all, you avoided only one of his kisses. after that, he’d just laugh and coo at you for being so needy (it’s not like he was dying to kiss you ten seconds ago). “that’s what happens when you ignore my kisses, honey.” (lovingly)
❥ joshua
at first joshua would get a bit concerned that something had happened, or that you weren’t feeling well, that is until he realised you were just messing with him. jeonghan’s evil twin because two can play this game. he’d proceed to avoid most of your kisses for the rest of the day, and if you gave him confused looks (he never ignored your kisses, so his behaviour would immediately be suspicious in your eyes), he’d just give you a sweet smile, asking you if something was wrong, clearly messing with you. your (adorable) frustration at the end of the day would be worth every kiss joshua had to give up that day. of course you end up making out for the rest of the evening because you have to get your daily amount of shua kisses
❥ jun
too shy to ask you why you ignored his kiss, too sad to think straight, too worried that he did something wrong. immediately goes through the things he had said that day, trying to remember if he could've said something to upset you, or if he had forgotten to do something you asked him to do. so he just ends up moping around, trying to remember things he didn’t even do, but if you asked him if something was wrong, he’d just brush it off, not wanting to come off as too dramatic. but then it’d get too much for jun, and he’d shyly ask about that ignored kiss, and if there was something he could do to apologise for whatever he did. and his sweetness and worry would melt your heart so badly, it was never your intention to avoid his kiss, it just happened, so you’d scold him for not mentioning it earlier. you’d give him a lot of reassuring kisses afterward because that’s what jun deserves
❥ hoshi
he’d get extremely confused because it’s not often that you avoid his kisses, or any type of affection for that matter, but would brush it off as only an accident. when he tries to kiss you again some time later, and you ignore it once again, he gets so so sad :(( “what do you mean you don’t want to kiss me?” would immediately ask you if something was wrong, and if he did something to upset you, he doesn’t like it when you give him the silent treatment (although nothing but the ignored kisses showed that you were angry with him, which made him even more confused). before you’d be able to say anything, though, he’d start apologising (for what he didn’t know), and you’d end up laughing at your silly boyfriend, who’d stand there with a question mark above his head because what the hell was going on? you’d just coo at him and kiss him (he still wouldn’t know what had just happened, but hey, at least he got his kiss)
❥ wonwoo
(dare to avoid this man’s kiss and i am going to hunt you, and kill you). if you ignore his kisses wonwoo will get sad. not like cheol in a “i will whine and throw a tantrum” way, but in a way where you can clearly see the corners of his mouth turning downwards. he’d be the epitome of this 🥺 emoji (the funniest thing is when he tries to act like he doesn’t care, but then he goes around with his big sparkly eyes, and the smallest pout, acting like a kicked puppy). i know a lot of people see wonwoo as someone cold that doesn’t like physical affection, but i don’t see him like that at all. yes, he might be too shy to initiate hugs and cuddles himself, but he thrives off of your touch, and hugs, and kisses, etc. so he’d turn into a lil sad cuddlebug when you avoid his kisses
❥ woozi
jihoon would be so understanding if you ever avoided his kiss because as someone who really values his personal space, he gets that sometimes you’re just not in the mood for affection, and physical touch - he would never want to make you uncomfortable, thus he wouldn’t think much of you ignoring his kiss. and that alone would melt your heart because get yourself a man who’s so understanding of your comfort, and would not throw a tantrum just because of a kiss (i’m looking at you choi seungcheol). but, the second you start avoiding more of his kisses, he immediately starts suspecting that something’s off, and that it has to be one of silly pranks. when you ignore his goodnight kiss, which you usually happily accept, he’s sure you’re just messing with him (which he instantly calls you out for). woozi would find your commitment to the bit so funny, you’re seriously something else. to end your prank with a bang, he’d grab your chin and place a peck on your lips, and go to sleep like nothing happened
❥ dk
to be honest, you’d break his heart by avoiding his kisses, so please don’t do that. seokmin would straight up start spiralling and overthinking because what if he had said something hurtful to you, what if he had forgotten an important date, what if he had bought the wrong flavour of your favourite snack, what if he hadn’t given you your goodnight kiss. there would be so many “what if’s” in his head. he’d be the epitome of a kicked puppy, and yes - just because you avoided one of his kisses. not to be dramatic, but dk would feel like his entire world was crumbling, you never avoided his kisses, so why did you do it all of the sudden. obviously after seeing his reaction you'd immediately explain that you didn’t mean to make him upset, etc etc. and he’d demand extra cuddles and kisses before bed because hello that was so mean??? later, though, he’d realise how dramatic he was about all of it, and you’d end up laughing so much during your nighttime cuddle session
❥ mingyu
yeah, not on his watch. the second he catches you avoiding his kiss you’re trapped in his embrace with a very offended puppy expression from mingyu, and a demand for an explanation why you dare to ignore his kiss. he will not let you walk away before you tell him why you even thought of avoiding his kiss, and an apology in the form of even more kisses. the thing with mingyu is that he can be as petty as coups and jeonghan, so even after your apology he’d still give you an attitude throughout the day, and even go as far as avoiding some of your kisses (which he realised wasn’t that great of an idea, because it made him even more grumpy and sulky), so at some point he’d just trap you in a bear hug and apologise, shyly asking for a peck
❥ minghao
xu mighao is a petty, petty man. he immediately knew what you were up to by avoiding his morning kiss, while you were making breakfast, so don’t be surprised with no more kisses for you for the day. hao would find it so amusing, because - on one hand, you know him well enough to know how your little pranks always end (with him not falling for it), on the second he’d think it was adorable how you couldn’t help yourself (you still had the hope that someday he’d fall for a prank). the small smirk on his face anytime you’d (not so) subtly try to kiss him would annoy you so much, but hey - you were the one to avoid his kiss in the first place. all jokes aside, he’d think you were so cute, sulking at the end of the day because you didn’t get to kiss him, and as a small apology he’d give you all of the kisses you missed throughout the day (can you hear his giggles in between the kisses because i can)
❥ seungkwan
malfuntiones because his first instinct is to whine and pout, but after a second he’s all grumpy and you’re rewarded with the boo seungkwan side eye. does not like when you avoid any type of his affection, especially if it's his kisses (and he was in practice for the whole day, why don’t you want to kiss him), so he’d just sulk around with an attitude because ignoring his kisses is not allowed in this household. but after some time he gets tired of the “why did you ignore me”, so he’d strike again with his kisses (don’t avoid them the second time, or seungkwan will get really annoyed with you). on the other hand, seungkwan is another member of the “petty” squad, so if he was feeling particularly evil that day, he’d just proceed with ignoring your kisses as well :))) (then both of you would end up grumpy and annoyed)
❥ vernon
doesn’t pay much attention to it - not because he doesn’t care about your kisses, but similarly to woozi - he understands that everyone has their boundaries, and maybe you weren’t feeling in the mood for kissing at that moment, or maybe you just needed some space. it doesn’t really matter, your personal space is sacred to vernon, so he’d never do anything to cross it. of course he’d get a bit sulky (he’d never show it, though) if you kept ignoring his kisses, but he still wouldn’t try to force anything on you. he’d maybe mention it as a passing though, why you were avoiding his kisses, mainly to make sure you weren’t upset. then you’d kind of realise that, yes - you did ignore his kisses, but it was a bit of an accident? and vernon would immediately assure you that he didn’t mind, and that as long as you were happy, he was happy too
❥ chan
please, don’t avoid his kisses. poor baby would immediately think he did something wrong, because you never ignore his kisses, so obviously he did something to upset you. chan wouldn’t ask you if something was wrong, though, he’d be afraid of upsetting you even more, which would leave him with a small pout and sad puppy eyes. and while normally he isn't the most energetic person, you’d immediately notice the lack of his “spark”, and his usual excitement over the smallest things, which could mean only one thing - he was overthinking you avoiding his kisses. so please, give him lots of reassuring kisses, and tell him you love him
