“Can you pass the bottle for me?” Asked Jisung in a tired voice. Y/n was also tired but he seemed like he would pass out any time soon.
“Yeah, sure but to whom?”
“Pass it to the senior over there,” he said, indicating toward a group. They were sitting in chairs in a circle, talking and laughing loud. But the problem was that they all were seniors.
“Hey, whom to pass? They all are seniors”, Y/n was concerned.
Volunteering in a crowded place is too difficult for a person with social anxiety.
Jisung handed her a bottle and signaled her to walk toward the group. For the extra credits, she went volunteering. And now, she is walking with jelly legs to a social circle full of seniors.
Little did she know that she was already in the eyes of someone. A senior was witnessing all these events in the corner of his eye. Even though he was sad about her going beyond her comfort zone, he still wanted her to come to him.
She was dragging her legs with a bottle in her hand with knitted eyebrows.
That senior couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up and walked towards Y/n.
“I will take it from here. You may go.” He said in a voice that would almost make everyone piss. His cold aura can travel like northern lights for miles.
She didn’t even take a look at him. She just nodded and walked away.
Y/n’s social anxiety with seniors was understandable, but she turned so pale walking towards them that she looked like she would almost pass out any second.
After completing the volunteer work, Y/n was ready to go home. Slowly walking towards the parking, she was happy about her extra credit and extra happy that she completed her volunteering work even on the verge of a mental breakdown. After reaching the parking, she searched her bag for keys, when she opened her bag two papers fell out. It hit her that the attendance sheet that would bring her the extra credits was with her, but she hadn’t handed it in. If she wouldn’t submit it, she won’t be credited, not only her but all the volunteers. But for that, she would have to go to that crowd again.
She started walking on jelly legs towards the hall where everyone had gathered. She could hear the screams and howl of the joy which unlikely to many, made her shiver. She wanted to run away but had no way out.
Suddenly she felt someone behind her, turning around was surprised by the senior to whom she had delivered the water bottle.
He gave her an awkward smile, and for the first time, she looked into his eyes for too long. She looked down when she realized that he was also looking at her.
“I am sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. But I noticed you went inside and came outside abruptly, so I came after you. Do you need anything? Ah, by the way, I am Yuta,” he extended his hand, but she only shook her head, still looking down.
Y/n’s reluctance was cute. It was unusual for Yuta to see any girl who would look this mesmerizing even while freaking out. He immediately withdrew his hand when he noticed her face.
“Then what are you holding?” he looked at the paper.
“It’s the attendance,” she said in her lowest voice. Almost inaudible. But, he understood.
“Do you want to give it to the leader?” he asked in a slightly loud voice to break the resonance with the music. She flinched. Yuta was afraid that she was about to cry. He patted her head, leaned towards her, and said in her ear, “the music is loud, don't be afraid.”
He had eyes on her since he saw her at the canteen, he had noticed her clumsiness around people, but for the first time, he was looking at her cuteness. The corners of his mouth crept up.
“I can pass it to the leader. Give it to me,” as he stretched his hand towards her, she backed away.
“You are a senior, I can’t let you do my work,” her courage was building up.
“I am not doing your work, I am helping you,” he said and snatched the paper from her hands before she could protest, he said, “Don’t run away! Wait here. I’ll be back.”
Y/n stood there obediently for Yuta. After some minutes, he came out with a juice bottle.
“Here,” he stretched his hands, but she was too flustered to accept.
He took her hand, handed her the juice, and went inside again. His warm hands contradict his cold aura. His personality made Y/n change her mind about him. She was more confident while returning. And in fact, she was thinking about him the whole time.
The next day, she was the first to enter the hall, she had cleaning duty. She took a box and began collecting all the wrappers, bottles, plastics, and papers.
While taking the box outside, she was welcomed by a familiar tone.
“Let me help you, this box is bigger than you,” Yuta said and took the box from her. That made her smile. How can anybody pop up just in time?!
“How do you always rescue me just in time?” she asked with doe eyes.
Cute
“Wanna hear a story?”
“Yeah,” she was unsure of where the idea came from.
“I saw you for the first time at the canteen, I was already a fan of your innocence, but after that, we never met, I looked for you, but your introverted personality made you invisible for me to find you. Then, one day while looking at the resumes of newcomers, I came across yours. And that was a silver lining for me. Then, I met you while volunteering. I was unsure what to do, but Jisung had this not-so-brilliant idea of asking you to pass the bottle, but you freaked out, and he got a very good scolding at the dorm for making you work.”
“So Jisung intentionally asked me to pass the bottle,” astonishment was all over her voice. Who would know that a clueless guy like Jisung would help you both to meet?
“Jisung and I are friends, we share dorms, and he knew I have a crush on you. I would always ask him, and he would just narrate what you did in the class.”
“So, I am sorry for yesterday. I just wanted to know you. And protect you. I hope that you will reciprocate the same feelings for me. You can think about it,” Yuta thought that his honesty might again freak you out, so, he quickly turned to leave.
“Yuta! What if I say you that I also feel the same about you? Since yesterday, I have only been thinking about you. How you helped me, and how you patted my head. I don't know if all these may be too fast, but I think I reciprocate your feelings.”
Yuta smiled, a smile that could melt the whole of Antarctica, his smile held the power of healing. He tucked Y/n’s baby hair which was almost poking her eyes. It was a gesture of affection for him. His warmth made Y/n feel protected.
His gesture made Y/n smile, her mismatched dimples were the star of Yuta’s eyes.
I am back to writing fanfics after over a year. I caught COVID in 2021 and then I slacked off from writing. Then I became a final year student at University and became busy with all the stuff. Now, although I haven't graduated yet (still 3 months left), I have been placed in a company, and I know what I like to do and what I want to be. And I am currently working on it, but my imaginative mind kept saying to write something. So, a little welcome back celebration for me!
A Smile for Smile is unlike the usual college romance we see nowadays. It's somewhat old-school love. Back in the day, we used to have that charm, the charm of just making an eye-contact, the charm of just seeing your crush smiling or even making the courage to ask for the contact number.
It's the heartfelt story of Yuta, a cold-looking but warm-hearted senior and a timid Y/n with social anxiety.
It will be posted tomorrow, so keep patience and enjoy the moment.
summary: selfless. that is the word you lived up for so many years. everybody knows that. but not everybody understands. so when you decide to let everything go, even your happiness, they didn't question it because again, it's you. you've always been like this. selfless. so when you say goodbye to the man you love for the happiness of your best friend, everybody thought it was fine. it might seem strange to start a story with an ending, but all endings are also beginnings. because no one ever says goodbye unless they want to see you again.
genre: fluff, angst, smut
warning: mature themes, infidelity, exes to lovers, language
wc: 10.3k
an: finally ㅠㅠ i've been working on this for way too longㅠ anyways, this is my first time trying smut, i'm still working on it, so if this seems cringey pls huhu give me time i'll be better!! i hope u guys enjoy it! xx
--
"i'm marrying johnny suh!" you heard your friend scream once she enters the diner you work at.
you halt your movements, shocked at what she just stated. your heartbeat went faster than usual, blinking as you processed what you just heard.
"you're.. what?" you looked at her, finally, and you saw her hair dishevelled, make up's ruined and she stumbled uppn walking to you.
"he asked me, to marry him at the club! you should've been there-- bestie we were making out in the dancefloor!" oh, she was drunk, alright. the hiccups between her words says so. not to mention the alcohol reeking through her scent.
just for a moment, you wanted to pinch yourself thinking all of this was a dream. it can't be, johnny is marrying your best friend? how.. why so fast?
"mina, you've been dating him for six months. are you sure you're getting married?" you managed to blurt out, fixing her hair in the process.
"yes! i'm fucking sure! i mean, have you seen him?! and have you experienced the dick game?! well-- ofcourse, you dated him but somehow it got bigger after college!" yes, you guys just graduated from college. its only been a year, and six months to be precise.
and yes, johnny was your boyfriend back in college.
you two have been going out for a year and a half before you two broke up. why, you might ask?
well, all because of you.
**
a year ago
"w-what?" you stuttered, fixing your glasses as you stared back at your bestfriend.
"yes. and i'm so sorry! i didn't mean it! he was-- i was drunk! and you're aware that i liked your boyfriend for years now and i cannot control myself! i'm so sorry!" mina, still looking at the ground after apologizing.
you, on the other hand, felt awful. you wanted to scream at her, curse at her, even hit her for pete's sake but you can't. she's your bestfriend since elementary, she's the reason you got into this prestigious college! her family had connections and mina begged them to give you the scholarship. so no, you can't just be mad at her over something like this.
yes, she just kissed johnny, the guy whom you love with all of your heart, the person you've been dating over a year now, the very same guy that you plan to be with for the rest of your life.
it hurts, so much. you wanted to ask her why johnny-- i mean, yes, she told you that she liked him. but johnny had proven himself that he loves you. so it didn't bother you, her obsession over your boyfriend, because you trust him.
"did he.. did he kiss back?" heart pacing quick, you weren't sure if you wanted to hear the answer.
mina looked at you with so much sympathy, her eyes were pitying yours, as she held your hand. with that, you knew the answer.
this isn't only mina's fault, after all. johnny did it aswell.
"listen, we were both drunk. okay? y/n, i wouldn't do that sober. yes, i liked it---"
"do you love him?" you looked at the ground as you pulled your hands from her. fixing your glasses that fogged over your threathening tears.
mina stood there, silent, and once again the absence of her statement was an obvious answer.
surely, mina would treat him better. surely, mina would be happy if you did this.
surely, it would shatter you to pieces, but anything for your bestfriends happiness, right? she had provided you everything you have right now so maybe johnny would learn to love her aswell?
he wouldn't kiss back if he didn't have any pinch of interest in mina.
yes, that's it.
your tears started to flow, as you decided on your next move.
**
so, after a month after you broke up with johnny, mina started to take action for her feelings.
what's funnier is you were the one that mina asked for johnny's interests, favourites and habits. you couldn't say no because mina was persistent. you could tell she loved him so much. and that's all you asked of, johnny being loved.
and then, months later you found out they were dating already. you were broken, upset, depressed and everything in between. but they seem so happy, so what are you complaining about? you wanted this.
what you didn't expect is johnny proposing this early into their relationship. it's been half a year since they dated and they wanna get married?
"i think this is ridiculous." you said, shaking your head as you vigurously wiped the diner's counter, mina sitting across.
"why? just because we both love each other so much-- and wanted to spend the rest of eternity with each other?" you almost wanted to say yea, it is fucking hilarious.
"no, mina. what i mean is, don't you guys think it's a bit early?"
"no? the heart decides what it wants. plus, you don't have a problem with it, right? you're over johnny, right?"
oh please. you're over him! why would she even ask that? i mean, sure, it would suck seeing the man you loved the most marry your bestfriend but you. are. over. him.
right?
"mina, no, what the hell? my point is i feel like you two should spend more time with each other--"
"no, y/n. i don't care. i'm marrying him. and you are coming to dinner tomorrow because you're my maid of honor."
•••
honestly, when you agreed to this, you had to convince yourself that it would be easy. you thought, you could be civil around johnny and mina, after all, you are all gonna be in each other's life once they get married. you've gotta be used to it.
and also, you couldn't say no to mina. remember? you owe her so much, so this little favour wouldn't hurt, right?
"y/n! i'm so glad you came!" mina stood up from her table once she saw you enter the restaurant. you gulped when you see the figure behind her, standing tall among others, johnny.
"wouldn't miss it." you gave her a smile and hugged her, as you were caressing her back, you glanced at her fianceé, and you swear you saw him look at you with worry. you knew him very well.
but regardless, that's not your realm of concern anymore. what you went here for is to support mina.
mina guided you to sit around the big table, the couple across you and johnny's friend, ten sitting next to you.
"this got to be the biggest plot twist i have ever seen in my whole life." ten snickered followed with a chuckle. you know him eversince college-- him and johnny being best friends.
"shut it. are you the best man?" you fixed your bag as you asked him.
"he's got no other choice."
you rolled your eyes, avoiding the stares that the man across you keeps on giving.
mina and johnny then stood up, greeting the other guests. you took that as a chance to wave at a waiter to ask for champagne, because you knew this was gonna be a long night for you.
"so, maid of honor, huh?" ten, also sipping from his flute glass. you looked at him and you saw his sneaky smirk.
"mina's my best friend so it was default for me to be the maid of honor." you answered, taking another sip.
"and you're dumb enough to say yes?"
"i'm smart enough not to say no to my bestfriend." you gave ten a slight tap, followed by his sognature laugh.
"you can never say no to mina, y/n." ten turned more serious. he meant what he said.
you hit him again, "nah-uh! i totally can." you lied. you know you couldn't, but you don't have to admit that ten. don't have to step on your self-worth even more.
"convince yourself that. everything in this god damn charade happened because you can't say no. even when you feelings are hurt." for a minute, you thought about it.
how many times did you have to sacrifice your own happiness for mina's sake? way too many times. but thats okay, right?
"what feelings? come on, ten. we're literally on their engagement party. are we really talking about college flings?" you had to appear that it doesn't bother you anymore. you have to be strong, even if its just pretend.
"i don't think flings get their girlfriend's birthday tattoed in their chest, huh?"
fuck. "does he still have it?" you can't help but ask, looking at johnny's figure standing there with mina, talking to some family members.
you can see ten's smirk got even brighter with your question. "052199."
you closed your eyes. he still has it.
"that's stupid. should've have it covered, mina's gonna be upset if he still have it when they get married." you tried to change the mood, back to your nonchalant aura.
"mina this, mina that. how about you, princess? aren't you upset that johnny's marrying mina?" ten leaned in, putting his fingers on your chin making you look up at him. you gulped.
ten was always touchy with you, one of the things johnny hated when you were together.
and when you broke up, oh, the flirting never stopped. hence the nickname 'princess'
"i'm not." you whispered, pushing away his hands in process. that's when you realized that johnny and mina are walking towards you.
"ten, y/n? aw, are the best man and maid of honor getting along?" mina giggled, leaning her head onto johnny's shoulder.
you smiled, "no, we aren't. i'm glad you came, ten finally could get off my ass."
"but princess, i love your ass." ten winked at you, which you just furrowed your brows and dismissed him by rolling your eyes.
"ten, i believe mandy's looking for you." johnny's voice, whom you haven't heard all night, suddenly talked.
"dude, i told you we aren't talking anymore. i'm so done with her." you hit ten,
"you're disgusting." you whispered.
"anyways! i was planning a trip this weekend, for my most intimate friends! both of you could tag along." mina winked at you, which you responded with shaking your head.
"uh, mina i might have some things to do and i can't just leave, you know my boss might kill me." you refused, begging for her to drop the topic.
"is that more important than your best friend?" mina looked hurt, giving you her signature stare whenever she wanted something out of you.
you couldn't answer, the three of them waiting for you. you gulped.
aish, "fine. i guess i have to clear my schedule."
for a moment there, you swear you could hear ten's scoff. you nudged him with your shoulder.
"yeah, i'll go, as long as me and y/n stays in one room." ten teased.
you were gonna say something but you got cut off.
"no." johnny's strict tone filled the conversation, giving ten a glare. you felt a shiver run down your spine.
after almost a minute of silence, johnny realized what he had just said and quickly explained.
"we already have reserved rooms for the both of you in mina's beach house. it would be such a waste if you two stayed in one room." he cleared his throat, coughing after. mina seemed convinced as she smiled again.
"that's settled then!" mina clapped her hands and you forced yourself to smile to match her enthusiasm.
"i'll get more drinks." you excused yourself. you took a sharp breath after turning around, finally freeing yourself from the tension both you and johnny clearly radiates.
you stopped at the bar area, sitting on one of the stools.
you ordered margarita, which was served immediately. you thanked the bartender and right after you felt presence beside you.
"ten, can you please--"
"not ten." you froze, hearing a voice you know was johnny.
"hey." you didn't bother to look at him.
"hey," he replied rather awkwardly, followed by a sigh.
"congratulations on your engagement." you felt like its one of the few things you could say without sounding nervous or bitter.
but it proved otherwise when johnny took a minute before replying, "...yeah."
you don't know if its the margarita, or the tension that clearly comes off between you two thats making this entire situation a lot harder than it is.
"when's the wedding?" again, another generic question you blurted out to fill the awkward silence.
"mina would decide. you know her, she takes control of everything." he let out a dry chuckle.
"well, i hope you two have a great night. i, on the other hand need another glass of this." you signalled the waiter.
"wait--" johnny grabbed your wrist, making you turn to him.
it felt like electricity, like a spark, when he touched you. you swore you felt it, the intensity, because this was the first time since you broke up that he even touched you.
"yeah?" you swiftly shrugged his hands away, which he noticed so he quickly pulled back.
"the reason i approached you is that i wanted to ask a favor."
you took a sharp breath, ready to refuse, because you know damn well you have had enough of giving favrs to anyone tonight.
but before you could do that, "for mina."
you mentally cursed. of course. of course he'd pull the mina card.
"what is it?" you asked.
"let's be friends, again. i know it's hard but we can't go on avoiding each other when we'll be in each other's life."
you chest tightens.
you'll be in each other's life?
that sentence had a whole different meaning a year ago. you'd always say that you two are forever gonna be in each other's life.
you didn't expect that it meant him being your best friend's husband.
"that's bullshit." you thought you had only kept the curse words in your mind, but turns out, you said it out loud.
you widen yur eyes and covered your mouth in full shock.
"excuse me?" johnny looked confused.
"i-i meant, bullshit because-- you know, we're already friends!" thank god for you quick wit.
johnny slowly nodded yet the confused reaction stayed of his face.
"t-that's good, then. see you this weekend."
"see you."
johnny is a good guy. a great guy, even. what's eating you alive is still, how nice he is to you. it's you that's making a big fuss about all this.
you're supposed to be happy! isn't this what you wanted? two of the most important people in your life is finally getting the happiness they deserved.
you shouldn't be moping around. this is good. all is good.
the weekend came, and already, you felt like wanted to go home.
all of you are in front of johnny's apartment, waiting for ten to show up. mina decided to travel together to jeju island. you didn't know you'd have to be with them the entire time but here you are.
"ten's such a bitch, making us wait for him." you rolled your eyes which isn't visible to others because of your sunglass.
while waiting, johnny was standing behind you, loading some things into his car.
mina, was already in the car, cooling off because 'she can't stand hot weather'
you don't know if you should try to have small conversations with him rather than standing here, quiet making everything more awkward. but what if you said the wrong things? wouldn't that make it even more.. awkward?
before you could even decide, johnny cleard his throat.
"you should get inside the car, y/n. sun's getting hotter." johnny, while still organizing-- or pretending to organize the trunk load.
"nah, it's fine. i'll settle in when ten shows up." you replied more casually.
"you don't have to wait for him, tho. he'll show up no matter what." johnny stopped for a minute to glance at you only to find you glancing at him aswell.
"i'm fine." you sternly addressed and looked away.
"look--" before johnny could finish, he was interrupted.
"baby girl, are you waiting for me?" ten's cheeky grin greeted you as he puts his arms around your waist.
you almost rolled your eyes and for a second there, you swore you saw johnny looking at ten's hand on your waist. maybe you're hallucinating, but you know what you saw.
is it a big deal? you don't think so. does it bother you? yep, it actually does.
"get in the car." johnny's last statement before slamming the trunk and walking around to the driver seat, leaving you startled and ten chuckling.
"oh, this will be a fun weekend." ten whispered before opening the car door for you.
fun? more like hell. how are you gonna survive this?
almost an hour into the drive, mina said she has to pee. so johnny pulled over to the nearest gasoline station.
"you want something, darling?" ten asked, as he stepped out of the car.
"i'm fine, and don't ever call me that. you sound like a creep." you said before going out aswell.
little did you know, the whole time, johnny was watching you from the rear view mirror. how ten leaned to you, how he rest his head on your shoulder as you looked out the window listening to some music. how you and ten banter back and fourth and then laughing afterwards. he saw all of that.
"come with me then, and you'll figure out what you want." ten asked, which you wanted to turn down because ten is an annoying man to be with, but you'd rather that than being stuck in the car with johnny.
"fine." you sighed and crossed your arms in front of you, as you walked with ten.
there's a lot of snacks and stalls tht actually made you appetized, so in the end, ten had bought you a corndog.
"thanks, i guess." you said to ten as you bite. ten watched you with a satisfied smile on his face.
"i've got a plan." you almost wanted to grunt when you heard him say that. you knew ten had something up in his sleeves with him going in this god forsaken trip. he had a purpose.
"no, you don't." your stopped chewing as you gave him a frown.
"it's a good plan."
"when you plan something, it's never a 'good' plan. so just, let us eat. okay?"
ten stimped his feet like a toddler. you closed your eyes in irritation. "but! i thought about this all night! aren't you at least gonna listen?!" ten whined like a kid.
you mentally cursed. you know ten isn't gonna stop until you agree with his stupid plan. so with a sigh, he understood that you gave up on disagreeing with him.
with his smirk, he started. "tell them that we're together. that we're finally dating."
you were in the middle of drinking water when you almost spitted the entire thing upon hearing his words. is ten actually going crazy?
"are you fucking insane?" you said after recovering from the shock that ten had caused. his stupid plan almost got you choking.
"yes?" ten's genuine answer almost made you hit him. "--anyways, stick with me here. we're gonna pretend that we've been dating for a month now. and we'll reveal it later at the beach house."
you're still stuck in both confusion and disbelief. why-- what, how-- you can't even start.
so, you took a deep breath to gather all your thoughts at once.
"ten, chittaphon.. i'm so fucking lost. why-- why exactly are we pretending that we're together?" the fact that his plan is so absurd, and ridiculous, makes you want to figure it out more. how does ten's brain work?
"to figure out if johnny's gonna fuck himself with this wedding or not." you understand what ten meant. you understood what he's trying to do. but still, that wouldn't budge your decision to completely blow him off.
"then why pretend to be together? what's that gotta do with me?"
ten rolled his eyes as if you're stupid. "you see, johnny's my bestfriend. yeah, he's dumb sometimes and so fucking annoying most of the time, but this thing-- that he's on the process on doing? this is serious. he's getting committed, for life. as much as i enjoy seeing him in pain, i don't think this is fair. princess, we'll find out if johnny's still in love with you."
•••
honestly, you knew this was a shitty plan. but either way, you agreed to it. why? well.. you kinda want to know too.
all your life you've been doing everything around other's terms. every decisions you've made are always set upon considering other's feelings. you feel really bad for acting out something just for yourself.
this time? you wanted to decide for your own. what if johnny doesn't really want this marriage? what if.. what if he still loves you? you know this is fucked up, mina being collateral damage but you knew you had to make sure.
because if ten's predictions were right, mina would suffer even more. her husband being in love with somebody else? imagine how'd she feel.
also, to be completely honest, you also wanted to do this for your own sake. you'd hate to admit it, but johnny just had this hold on you that makes it difficult to let him go for some reason. you feel like your book wasn't finished, the last few pages was missing.
yes, you broke up with him, leaving him with some horrible reasoning like you'd want to focus on your studies more. leaving him heartbroken, even more, confused to why you just left.
so in your own head, you thought you have to finish this chapter of your life.
if turns out he still loves you? then fuck it. you'd be selfish for once and get your own happily ever after.
if not? then maybe he genuinely loves mina afterall. you'd have to accept that and close your book. you and johnny's story would be over, finally.
this might be the shittiest way of proving it but at least you don't have to do anything immoral. you'd just have to see if you'd get a reaction out of johnny. you're not here to flirt with him. no.
"ten, dude, help me carry mina's luggage. shit, she has like four." johnny chuckled as he opened the trunk, grabbing mina's first luggage out.
"can't bro. my baby's got luggage too." ten then answered, opening the door for you and grabbing your duffle bag.
johnny didn't mind because he thought you would just reply with an irritated comeback but he was left confused when you smiled at ten, "thanks."
"no worries, my princess."
johnny was starting to feel gloomy. why'd you flirt back? don't you have a clever comeback just like always?
"yey, taeil and kun are already in the beach house! let's go!" mina excitedly clung on your arms as she pulled you inside the beach house.
ten, on the other hand, had a sentence that would make johnny feel weird.
"ugh, wouldn't be lovely if me and y/n gets married too?" ten seemed sincere, pulling johnny's heart strings apart.
"you're.. what?" johnny had to ask.
"i mean, dude, if i decide to settle down, it'd be pretty cool if it was with y/n. she's so perfect for me. she's just.."
"an amazing person." johnny finished off, glancing on your way as you laughed with mina.
"yeah-- you would know, you had her once. anyways, we should get inside, dude." ten patted johnny's back, snapping him from his gaze on you.
•••
"since we arrived a bit late, maybe we should check out the beach tomorrow?" mina announced once all of you are inside the beach house.
this beach house was from mina's father. he had gifted this house to mina when she turned eighteen. he's a COO of a huge tech company in seoul, money basically pouring on him everyday. her mother is one of the executives of seoul national university. mina had managed to get you the scholarship for the uni because of her mom.
in short, mina is crazy rich.
"so, rooms are upstairs. me and johnny on the suite, of course. the rest of you, make yourselves comfortable. we have rooms for everyone here!" mina clapped in excitement. you almost wanted to run and find a room for yourself and never get out, but ten had a different idea.
"me and y/n are gonna stay on the second roo-"
"taeil! bro, you and kun gonna cook for us, right?" johnny's noticibly loud voice once again interrupted ten, which ten just smirked at you.
ten had told you about his little hints. saying something about paying attention to johnny's little expressions everytime he mentions something about you.
you really don't know if you should read into these things but it got you interested. hm, johnny does react different everytime ten says something about you.
or maybe you're just a little bit over your head and overthinking everything.
"yeah, of course. mina, anything you'd like us to cook?" kun asked, walking his way to the kitchen.
"maybe some steak? oh, medium rare, please." mina smiled sweetly at them after sipping a drink from her champagne.
"you, love? anything?" ten nudged at you, moving his body way closer to you at the couch. normally you'd adjust and just stand up, but this time, you didn't. you let ten put his arms around you.
"steak sounds great. but, uh, can i have it like.. well done?" you were shy to request, because it opposed to mina's preference, but you can't really eat a medium rare steak.
"of course, my love. kun!" ten then stood up and pointed at kun jokingly, "my baby wants a well done steak. better do it right or i'll smack your ass."
kun just replied with another banter that kept their silly argument going. johnny on the other hand, leaned back to his chair, face a bit more serious, sipping red wine as mina giggled beside him.
the whole time ten, kun and taeil was in the kitchen, you got stuck in the living room with the couple. you don't know if you should follow ten, but your lazy feet just told you to sit down.
so, instead of trying to have a conversation, you just scrolled through your phone.
"you know, babe, i'm really glad we went on this trip with our friends before the wedding. and of course, i'm so glad that y/n went even with her busy schedule." mina sipped another from her glass as she leaned onto johnny's shoulder.
"yeah.." johnny had no other answer.
"i mean.. this might be the last trip we go as boyfriend and girlfriend, right? y/n, can you believe i'm getting married?!" mina excitedly put up her hands to show you her engagement ring, which you just smiled at and nodded.
"i'm so.. so happy for you." that felt heavy, but nonetheless, you meant it. you are happy for mina, you're just sad for yourself.
"one day, you'll get this moment too, y/n." mina smiled at you comfortably, yet it didn't sit right with you. it's like she's.. pitying you?
"someday i'd be so lucky." you can't help but to lace your words with the tiniest sarcasm.
"seeing anyone at the moment?" at that point, johnny who never really cared for the conversation, suddenly fixed his posture and sat up straight.
you almost said no, deny everything and say that's not your priority currently, but you remembered ten's evil plan.
so, with that in mind, you swallowed your previous thought, and had to come up with a new one.
"i mean.. i can't really.. it's complicated." and the best actress award goes to... y/n!
"what?! so there is someone?!" mina acted surprised as she put her hands over her mouth.
johnny, behind her, froze. blinked a few times before leaning back. not even a second before he stood up.
"where are you going, babe?" mina looked up at him, johnny saying something on the lines of getting more wine.
"i'll go with you!" mina then stood up after johnny and the couple went back to the kitchen.
tht's when your body relaxed and you let yourself sink onto the sofa. you looked over the balcony, overlooking the ocean in front of the beach house.
this night's gonna be so much fun.
•••
"oh gosh, y/n, remember when you literally confessed to mingyu back in highschool!? he literaly ignored you and laughed." mina hd a bit too many wine glass and starting to talk alot. including sharing stuff that you're not most comfortable sharing.
specially when your friends are around. but instead. of saying something, you just chose to be quiet and nod along with whatever she's saying.
"she literally cried that day. aw, poor y/n! i'm sure you'll meet your prince one day!" mina followed with a laugh and leaning onto johnny who's been serious all night.
"yeah." you whispered, sipping your second glass for the night.
"wait, mingyu rejected you? that fucking asshole, he said you two were together so i couldn't even make a move on you!" taeil joined, the sudden confession got you off guard.
everyone looked at him, shocked as well. "yeah, i've got the fattest crush on y/n back in highschool. was planning to ask her out on college but johnny took--"
"oh--kay! who wants more wine?" you took the opportunity to cut off taeil once he mentioned johnny. you knew bringing up the past was a bad idea, you know, tonight being johnny and mina's literal engagement trip.
ten noticed, and of course, he had the perfect thing to say. "too bad you can't make a move now, y/n's mine."
kun just laughed over ten's sentence, which ten just shrugged away. "dude, i don't think you're getting a chance with y/n."
you, on the kitchen counter, can still hear the guys' conversation.
"hahaha, yeah, right. ten's being like that because he knows y/n's kinda lonely. that's why i think you're such a great friend to y/n, ten. i'm glad you understand y/n." you know mina's tipsy, but you can't help but to feel like shit whenever she says something like that.
she would always make you the 'charity case' that everyone pity over. saying stuff how you're lonely and people around you just empathize with you. keeping you company because you're 'alone'.
although you'd like to think she just really meant well, it still pisses you off how she talks about you specially in front of your friends.
and ten, of course knew what mina's doing. and yes, it does piss him off aswell.
"that's not the case." ten, starting to feel hot.
"sure. anyways, i think our wedding shou--"
"y/n, love!" ten called out your name, making you look at them over the counter.
"yeah?" you unconciously answered, making everybody confused as why you didn't follow up with a 'don't call me that'
you walked back to the couch everybody was hanging out in, sitting right beside ten. everyone was visibly confused, looking at the both of you.
perhaps it's the wine taking over your whole body, but you just felt confident to whatever you and ten is doing right now.
him wrapping his arms around you as you snuggled in him, and then ten kissing the top of your head.
"am i tripping or are you two.. really doing that?" kun was the first one to say something.
"hm?" you just hummed, eyes slowly closing. you can just feel your system gradually feel tired caused by the alcohol you've been consuming, but not too much to the point that you'll pass out.
just perfectly tipsy.
the silence after kun's statement was cut short when everyone looked at one glass thats suddenly shattered to pieces, all over the floor. wine splattered onto the carpet, the sound successfully waking you up from your drowsy state.
"babe? oh my god, my mink carpet!" mina panicked, standing up and quickly calling for the helpers.
it was johnny's glass that spilled and shattered onto the carpet. he looked shocked aswell as he stood up and tried to pick some pieces up.
"i think we hit a nerve, princess." ten whispered at you and you can't just ignore the fact that maybe.. maybe ten's right.
•••
the night ended shortly after the wine situation, everybody felt tired from the drive, seeking rest for the night.
today's agenda was jam packed. according to mina's itenirary, everyone should be at the beach at exactly 3 pm. including her friends thats staying over to the near hotel.
you, on the other hand, would much rather stay here at the beach house. but of course...
"no! no one's staying at the beach house, we're all going to the beach." mina on her two piece bikini walking out the beach house.
you took a deep breath.
"what's wrong?" ten whispered to your side. you rolled your eyes and put on the sun glasses, and just released a sigh.
"nothing."
"you want to stay here, sweetheart?" ten caressed your hair. you looked around, seeing no one looking so you tapped his hands away.
"johnny's not here, quit the act."
"oh, right. my bad." ten chuckled.
but your johnny free environment was cut short when he suddenly showed up behind ten's back, fixing his white shirt, and dusting off his shorts.
because of his white plain shirt, you can clearly see the tattoos on his chest. and when you say clearly, as in you can see the numbers of your birthday across his left chest.
"stop drooling." ten joked, which you just responded with a slight hit on his arms.
"watch." the last thing ten said before approaching johnny.
you were intrigued on what ten's gonna do this time so tou just stood there and looked at him.
"dude, i think me and y/n are gonna stay here for today." ten casually said to johnny but johnny wasn't exactly amused.
"you two?" johnny gave you a glance, and his jaw tightens before looking away.
"yeah?" ten gave the most innocent look ever, almost making you laugh.
"no one's staying here. just rest on the beach." johnny sounded like a strict dad, walking pass ten. ten walked back to you with a defeated look in his face.
you chuckled and messed his hair. "nice try, soldier."
both you and ten planned to just stay in the shade, letting the other people swim. it's almost 4pm when everyone decided to take a break.
you were lying on the sun lounge long enough to fall into your slumber. you didn't know everyone was back from the water, when ten nudged you.
"let's go in the water, love." he removed the magazine covering your face. you opened your eyes to see who's in the sun lounge area and you saw everyone, all wet from swimming.
so, you straighten up your back and sat properly.
"no fun, when we were all in the water you two stayed here, and now that we're not y'all decide to go in?" taeil said before lying down.
"the sun's too hot earlier." you answered, pulling your shirt from the bottom and completely removing it to reveal your swim suit.
you opted for a nude two piece bikini, but you didn't remove your shorts. but your upper body was enough for the guys to joke around as you removed your shirt.
"since when did that grow in? aren't you like, flat chested last summer?" there was a hint of annoyance in mina's voice as she heard the boys woo your little sct, but she was always like that so you didn't mind.
ten, tho, was the opposite. "we've been working on it since then."
everyone's eyes widen, including yours, but before you realize it, johnny stood up.
"i'll head in. i'm tired." johnny was furious. mina was shocked, as she held onto johnny.
everyone was silent, so you got that chance to hit ten, "what's your problem?!" you angrily whispered to him.
"what?! it's working!" ten was even more excited as he eyes johnny walking out and mina following behind him.
•••
the night came in, and everyone was inside the beach house just chilling, and drinking.
eversince the incident at the beach, johnny was silent the whole night. everyone noticed that he wasn't on the best mood so they just walked around it.
you were uncomfortable, to say the least. everyone kind of knows what's happening, the way johnny's mad whenever ten makes a comment about you.
so you just chose to stay silent and wished for this god damn trip to be over.
ten, on the other hand, was fucking entertained. he never knew this plan of his would work so well, johnny showing his true emotions so easily that he didn't even sweat.
"mina's gonna be out for a while, something about her girls asking her to go to this beach party." you informed the boys as you sat on the single couch.
"then why are you here?" kun asked.
"that's her other friends, i'm not particularly part of that friend group."
that was mina's popular friends from college. you were much different from them, but mina had managed to be close to you aswell as them.
"oh, right-- miyeon and her little plastic friends, right?" ten smirked. he knew about them, him attending the same college as you.
"everyone's a little plastic back in college. including you." you rolled your eyes at ten, drinking from the beer can you have on hand.
"i was always honest to you, love. i always showed my true feelings even when you were with johnny." the mention of his name caught you off guard, looking around for johnny if he heard.
and there he was. standing on the counter, leaning on it while scrolling on his phone. he too, has a beer can on his right hand. he seemed to be distracted, not hearing what ten had said.
"yeah, and johnny almost killed you for it." taeil chuckled, a bit reddish from the alcohol.
"i mean, i just held back 'cause i thought he was serious with y/n. never thought that he actually wanted her bestie. what a plot twist." that's when the tension started to became intense. you hitched your breath to ten's statement, not expecting it to sting a little.
kun and taeil didn't know if ten was joking, so they didn't really laugh. they just exchanged looks.
"what did you say?" your head whips behind you, seeing a furious johnny walking towards the living area.
you knew ten stepped out of line, so youquickly stood up to get in between.
"he was joking, johnny." you stated as you looked at him, but his control was no longer there as his rage took over.
"no, he wasn't. repeat that for me, bro? did i.. hah," johnny paused. "..did i hear you right?"
kun and taeil took over, standing up to get in between. kun grabbed johnny's arms to pull him away but god knows johnny's not gonna move.
"yeah, dude. i mean, you dated y/n and then you proceeded to marry her best friend? thats self explanatory, isn't it?" ten wasn't even flinching as he said those words.
you knew this wouldn't end well. you shouldn't have agreed to this chaotic plan. fuck.
"ten, come on, let's go." you tried to pull ten, and take him out of rhis argument because even tho ten likes to provoke people, everyone in this room knows he can't take on johnny. the man's double his size, for god's sake.
"oh, you're not going anywhere." johnny had a smirk on his face even tho there isn't any humour in it, making you shiver.
"why can't i go with my girlfriend?"
that was the last thing ten had said before johnny charged at him. you stood there frozen, covering your open mouth in shock, as you see both men getting physical.
kun and taeil quickly separated the two, struggling a bit because of johnny's strength.
"oh my god." you whispered as you saw ten's lips got busted, yet ten still managed to laugh.
you swiftly go to him, attend to his care as kun and taeil calmed johnny down.
"thank you, princess." ten smiled at you as you helped him stand up.
"johnny, what the fuck is wrong with you?!" you can't help but yell, completely shocked at what johnny just did. he wasn't a violent person, ever. so what he did just now was new to you.
"you're together?" he asked in disbelief.
"so what? why do you care?!"
"come on, y/n. please," johnny begged, even tho you didn't know what he begged for.
"i can't fucking understand you, johnny suh. we'll leave. have a fucking great wedding."
•••
"john, let's break up." you finally said it in front of him, after practicing the whole night on how to say it without crying or immediately backtracking.
"wha..what?" johnny halts everything that he's doing, mind going blank after hearing you.
"let's.. go our separate ways." again, your voice shaking as you said those words.
johnny blinked a couple times before finally processing what you just said and shifting his position from being next to you to now facing you.
"are you.. is this a prank, baby?" johnny's voice was a lot more scared now. he was waiting for you to laugh and say you were kidding but you didn't.
"no. i- i.." you took a sharp breath, "--..need time for myself. school's been busy lately so i don't think i can handle a relationship."
johnny was visibly upset. brows furrowed as he took a step back.
"is this because of last night? when i couldn't fetch you after class? baby i told you i was--"
"no, johnny. just.. fucking, stop. we're over." that was your final statement before you walked pass him.
as you looked ahead, you saw mina, standing a few steps in front of you, giving you a sympathetic smile and then she mouthed, 'it's okay.'
will it be? will it be okay?
•••
everyone obviously felt off after the stunt that johnny had pulled. so, with everything that happened, you decided to just avoid the couple at all cost.
you went with ten on the way back to seoul, much in johnny's dismay. he wasn't exactly timid about him being upset with ten, that mina had questioned why everyone was so quiet the morning of your last day.
of course, no one told anything to her. it's a huge deal, her husband causing a fit because he's jealous of his ex and best friend? yep, fucked up.
so, you decided to end things before it gets worse. you begged ten to stop the plan, which he stubbornly refused, but you cleared to him that you no longer want to be a part of it.
you tried your best to avoid johnny and mina, refusing every invites and saying that you're busy with work.
newsflash, you're on a ten day leave. so basically you've been lying to avoid them.
"so loud in here!" you shouted to your co worker and friend, lisa. you two aren't really that close, but she's the only other girl in the diner and the rest were males. so, you kinda stick with her during this party.
yep, party. the diner that you're working in just finished the contruction of another branch, and they're celebrating. so, you being one of the staff, agreed to join. it's not like you've got better things to do.
"well that's because you don't go out! you'll get used to it!" lisa shouted back as she pulled you on to the bar.
you planned on just hanging out and taking one shot for the whole night because.. well you're infamous for your low tolerance of alcohol.
but lisa had a different idea. she just kept on giving you shots, something about her not partying with you often so you had to make up for it.
you almost wanted to say that it's because you two aren't close but that's not a great way to start the night.
so you just accepted it. which was a bad idea.
once the alcohol kicked in, you knew it was over. things started spinning and doesn't matter how hard you blink, there's still two lisa's in front of you. you're not sure which one of them was real.
you knew you had to go home. but fuck, how? when lisa drove you here?
"ah, fuck. i'll... bathroom." you didn't bother to repeat it for lisa 'cause she does not care, she's also drunk.
whilst waiting in line, you pulled out your phone.
"m-must call ten." you said, looking hard at the screen to contact ten.
a few rings, he answered.
"ten! ten!" you felt weirdy happy when he quickly answers.
"y/n?"
wait, ten sounds different?
"y-yeah.. uh, shit," you closed your eyes, trying to find words.
"are you okay?"
"yeah! can y-you, er-- pick me up? i know! i know! i'm not a-- haha--"
"are you drunk, y/n?"
you laughed out loud, making the other girls in line to the bathroom look weirdly to you.
"no, silly! well, yes! yes but-- i have no broom broom."
"broom broom? where are you?"
"a sound that cars make! i don't have that-- and i really-- really wanna go home." you suddenly felt sad, remembering you can't go home.
"stay where you are. i'm coming for you."
with that, you ended the call and waited for your turn in the bathroom.
a few moments later, you can't handle the loud music and people going crazy in the club so you opted to leave the establishment.
which was a dumb move because you can't really leave the area, and even if you could, you know you can't because you can't even fucking walk straight.
so here you are, sitting on the gutter slowly drifting away but conscious enough to not let yourself lay down entirely in the pavement.
the music was way fainter, relieving you from the stress from earlier.
your head was down, with your eyes closed.
you can really feel yourself falling asleep if it weren't for a figure standing tall in front of you.
"nice shoes." the first thing you say after looking at the pair of doc martins in front of you.
"jesus, y/n." that sounded way familiar, so that's when you looked up.
"oh?" you furrowed your brows to give yourself a better view of his face but you know you can't be mistaken.
it's johnny. johnny's here.
"mr. johnny! wait-- what are you doing here?" you attempted to stand up but almost failed, when johnny held your elbows.
"you called me." johnny started to dust off your pants from the dirt from the pavement you just sat in.
"i called ten."
"me. not ten, not anyone else. you called me." you maybe drunk, buf you know johnny was pissed.
"well, then sorry. you can go home now!" you smiled at him drunkenly, slightly pushing him away.
"not without you. now come on, i'll get you home." he held your wrist and tried to pull you but you stood your ground.
"no, no! i'll just call ten, johnny. i'll-- shit, he'll fetch me." you were starting to sober up when you realize what situation you were in.
johnny's here, pulling you to his car to take you home.
shit.
"y/n, please don't be stubborn."
"does mina know that you're here?" you asked.
johnny cursed under his breath, "no. she doesn't have to. i'm just taking you home."
"bullshit, johnny. you know this isn't fucking fair. go home-- be with her and i'll take care of myself. ten would--"
"fuck, y/n! ten this, ten that. i'm fucking here! not him!"
"and you shouldn't be." your voice softens, yet it felt like a stab in johnny's chest. he knows your right. he just hoped you were wrong.
"let's just-- just.. just let me take you home. you're drunk and its dangerous. please, y/n." johnny was practically begging. he's right. you're in no place to complain, since you needed to go home and you can't do that by yourself.
so you nodded. "fine. but don't talk to me."
you quietly entered his car without even looking at him. frankly, because you can't control your emotions right now. and if you look at his eyes, you might say something your sober self wouldn't.
its safe to say that johnny know how uncomfortable you are, so he did his best to be quiet as possible.
as soon as he saw your name pop up on his phone, he knew something was up. he quickly answers it with his fiancee on his side, dozing off.
and when you answered with your drunk self, oh, he was worried as hell. not a second goes by when he quickly stood up and grabbed his car keys. al though he was upset that you though he was ten, that's not whats important for him. what's important is to get to you, make sure you're safe. safe with him.
as soon as he encountered a red light, he can't help but to take a glance. and he wished he didn't.
there you were, sleeping soundly at his driver side, peacefully laying while your lips slightly agape.
at this very moment, johnny realized how fucked up he is.
god, what did i do? johnny thought.
he wanted to kiss you. right there and then. he wanted to own you like before. he wanted to be selfish and run away with you, leaving everything behind.
he's still inlove with you.
and he had hoped he could just turn back time, where he ran after you when you broke up for him for no reason. he wished he didn't get swayed by mina's comfort. he wished he begged you to stay in his arms forever. he wished he didn't agree with mina when she cried in front of him, begging him to be with her.
he wished he didn't believe mina when she said you were seeing another guy already.
he wished.
johnny's short moment of realization was cut shortly when a car behind him honked, making him look straight and see that the lights already turned green.
you slowly opened your eyes to see the car had already stopped in front of your apartment complex. you turned to your left to see johnny scrolling through his phone.
"you should've woken me up." you said in your deep voice.
"it's fine. it's only been 30 minutes." he spoke.
now, both of you are quiet. awkward tension fills up the entire car, and you take that as a hint to get your seatbelt off.
"y/n,"
time felt stupidly slow, as you looked at him.
"y-yeah?"
"do.. do you think i'm making the right decision?" johnny thought he was insane for asking a drunk person-- more so-- you, but he felt desparate.
you were caught off guard, your drunkness seemingly evaporated and suddenly become well aware. why is he asking you this?
"i don't know, johnny. you love her, don't you?" you asked. the air was thick, as seconds pass before he answered.
you swore you could feel your heart jump out of your chest as you anticipated his answer. its almost like he knows you're waiting for it.
meanwhile, johnny was internally dying.
there's only two things that could come out of this. he says the truth, that he's not sure, and hope that everything goes well, or lie to you, say that you do love mina, and possibly lose you forever.
"say yes, johnny. you fucking love her. please, make this easy for the both of us!" you suddenly felt emotional, as he drags the silence more making you crazy.
johnny couldn't do anything but to be silent. which was a clear answer. you understood it, and for a moment you felt hope, but quickly replaced with guilt.
"i'm sorry." the only thing johnny could answer.
"then why did you ask her to marry you?" theres a hint of ache in your words. you wanted to know, why, why did he ask her when he had only been dating her for half a year?
you and him have been together way more than that. why didn't he ask you?
"she was there-- she was there when you left. i was scared to be alone, y/n. i got used to your presence, and when you left, i felt empty. she was there." pain lacing through his words, you know he's right.
"and that was enough to spend forever with her?" your bitterness came off, but heck if you care, you're not in the position to think right now.
"i was drunk- and she.. begged me. she cried. and i felt fucking guilty because i did ask her! i was fucking..." he paused to sniff, making you shock to see tears run down his face.
"what, johnny?"
"i was so drunk, and i-- i fucking said your name after asking her to marry me. i was seeing you, not her. i asked you to marry me. but she didn't care. she said i couldn't take it back. and i felt so guilty.. y/n, so fucking--"
for the first time in your life, you made a decision without thinking of anyone else beside yourself. you know this will come after your ass in the morning but you didn't care.
you kissed johnny. you kissed him like you were hungry. you grabbed him by the back of his neck and kissed him.
it took him a second before melting into your kiss, and he finally responds. his hands travelled to your cheek, caressing it while passionately kissing you.
the taste of his salty tears mixed with desparation was all you can taste. his lips felt so familiar, so delicate, just like when you were with him. heads moved to give each other space and deepen the kiss, you unconciously moaned after tasting his lips again after a long time.
about five minutes has passed before he cuts off the kiss to breathe.
"fuck, y/n. i fucking.. missed you. so much." he felt amazing. at first he thought he will feel guilt immediately and stop everything, but he wanted more.
just like you, you craved more. so without thinking, you kissed him again, this time stronger, and much more passionate. not long after he grabbed you by the waist and lift you up your seat so easily, and sat you in his lap without breaking the kiss.
his hands founds its way to your waist, as he moved his lips to you neck. you grabbed the back of his head as you looked up to give him more access. with his lips leaving yours, this made the moans you were surpressing earlier come out.
he all of a sudden halts everything and looked up to you. "wait, y/n,"
you looked down to him drunkenly, "yeah?"
"are you.. sure about this?"
"we can think of mina tomorrow," you don't even know where those words comes from, but it ain't you. it's not you to do this. but again, you don't care anymore.
"i'm not talking about her-- i'm talking about you. you're drunk and i don't want to take advantage of you." somehow, despite him blatantly cheating on his fiance, he still is as gentleman as ever.
"eversince i woke up, i'm completely sober. i know what i'm doing." do you, tho?
"you'll regret this."
"i already am." that was the last thing you said before he dove in and drowned you with his kisses again.
with your bodies being so close together, you can't help but to crave more, and more. more than you should. but with your sense out of the window, you followed your whims.
you started grinding on his lap to feel just a tad bit of friction in your lower area, releasing a soft moan as you felt your body shiver. you can't believe he's this hard already, you didn't expect him to be this.. excited.
"fuck, baby you're.. driving me insane." johnny was truly going insane, and he's not even touching you. you were just grinding, making the jeans he was wearing create some pressure with his length.
despite going crazy, johnny held your hips even more firm as he pushed you down onto his lap to strengthen the friction you were making with your rhythm.
johnny then let out a relieving moan as he finally get the right pressure, making you want to do a better job. you always liked pleasing him.
as much as you want to do it with him in his car, you're really getting tired from not having enough space to manouver.
"m-my apartment." you whispered, making johnny look at you with his wide eyes.
he had never been to your apartment eversince college. you were still living at the same apartment from college, and it did cross his mind if it still look like that.
you thought the walk between the car and your apartment would somehow knock some sense into you, but you were wrong. it even made you even more frustrated, having to walk with him. you wanted to jump him but you still have the decency to not do it where your neighbors could get a front row ticket for a live show.
johnny, struggling to walk comfortably with the obvious tent on his pants, grabbed your hands and interwined them. this move made you look up at him, as he leads the way onto your door as if it's carved into his memory.
how can it not when you two spent almost your entire relationship in this building?
as soon as you opened your door, johnny cursed under his breath and lifted you up, earning a small yelp from you. he kicked the door close with you in his arms and walked straight to your room. damn, he could even walk through this apartment with his eyes closed.
he carefully laid you in your bed and prop both his arms in each side as he took his time looking at you face.
"you don't know how long i've been waiting for this." he whispered as he eyed your whole body, almost wanting to thank the heavens that he has you under him once again.
"then get to it, john." the nickname you used to call him acted a trigger, as it set him off and kissed you again.
slowly, but surely, you two have little to no clothes left. with you in your panties and johnny with his boxers.
johnny then used his his own knee to part your legs, nowlaying in between them. he scooped his hips down to apply pressure on your sensitive area, using his own.
johnny let out a deep grunt with a curse following, while you moaned silently. you can just feel his entire length rubbing your core, despite the fabric in between.
"princess, tell me you want this." johnny whispered to you as he keeps grinding.
"i do.. fuck, i really do." you can't help but feel desparate, it's been a while since you felt him like this. and fuck, you do miss it.
johnny nods, and gave a kiss on your forehead, and slowly his hands travels down to your breasts, gently massaging it giving your erect nipple a gentle flick. his eyes never left yours as he does this, almost like he wanted to watch your every reaction.
after the attention he gave on your upper half, he started to glide his hands down to the most senstive party of your body. johnny took time removing your underwear, slowly pushing it down, lifting your legs to remove it completely.
"fuck.. i fucking missed this. i fucking missed you." johnny repeatedly said, almost like a chant.
"i missed fucking you." you moaned out, earning a smirk from johnny.
not long after you felt his cold fingers touch your core sending shivers down your spine. he gave it a gentle rub, like he was trying to get familiar with it. this little movement was enough to make you go crazy, yet you know there's a lot more coming.
"you're so.. oh, shit. you're so wet." johnny can't believe the excitement his feeling. it's like he's in highschool again, he was feeling fucking fantastic. he's shocked on how wet he made you, like he hasn't had sex with anyone else.
"yeah?" your silk voice can't help but to make johnny's dick twitch. he then pushed more pressure on his finger, sliding in you. you slightly gasp with the sudden intrusion, but it was cut short when he roughly fingers you after. he slid another finger in just to watch you fall apart on just his fingers
"fuck, fuck, fuck!" you chanted like a mantra, your head turning left to right, johnny's eyes following your face.
"look at me." it sounded more like an order, so you did. you looked at him. your eyes furrowed and cursing under your breath as you felt your climax nearing.
"this feel good?" johnny asked as if you could answer properly, still fingering you at a rapid pace. the sounds that it makes almost made you finish there and then, but his face was even more so pleasuring.
"uh-huh." your voice was high pitched, still looking at his eyes. his mouth was slightly agape, watching your every feature.
"cum for me. cum while looking at me." johnny whispered. and not even a couple of seconds, you did.
you never closed your eyes, yet your entire body is shaking under him. the intensity of your climax came and you felt euphoria. almost like he was made to do this to you. only he can do this to you.
once johnny moved and stood on his knees, thats when your eyes closed to calm yourself after your orgasm. you were breathing heavily and the only thing you can hear is his pants' belt unbuckling.
you attempted to close your legs but johnny's hand made it impossible opening it again and sliding himself in between.
"tell me to stop and i will." johnny whispered, sincerity on his eyes as he looked for your permission.
"i won't," you whispered back, giving him a look of approval. he then kissed you deeply before looking down where you two connects, as he first, slid his tip up and down your slit, before entering painfully slow, yet easy because of the slick that you made earlier.
"oh, fuck." johnny cried, filling you up like it's a job for him to pleasure you.
his expression made you want it more, disregarding the slight sting from his length stretching you out. johnny's big. like big, big. and its been so long since you did this together, so it felt new. your insides getting familiar as he slowly pulled out just to get back in again, waiting for your approval to set his pace.
"y-you can move, john."
"okay, princess." johnny, again, kissed your hair before moving slightly faster, developing a new rhythym. his tempo was surely not the fastest, but he don't wanna end this quick. he wants to savour every moment, every second of this. he missed it, he missed you.
"shit, you feel so fucking good." johnny wasn't the most vocal in bed, or at least you thought, but tonight, he's pouring you praises and compliments mixed with his moans. maybe he changed? it's been so long, he could've.
it doesn't take long for you to feel another climax coming, but because johnny was close to his own as well, he moved harder and rougher, racing both of you to your high.
you swore you can hear johnny almost crying, repeating curses as if he's so desparate. which, honestly just helped you achieve your climax. him being so.. vulnerable adds pleasure to everything.
"y/n, y/n.. shit, fuck! please.." convulsing around him, you finally achieved your second orgasm for the night. johnny followed after a long, hard thrust releasing all of his seeds in you.
johnny was out of breath, so are you. after a few minutes, he finally pulled out, leaving you empty. he stood up, and honesly it aches your heart to think that he'll just leave like that.
but you were wrong. without opening your eyes, you almost jumped at the feeling of a wet tissue wiping your center, gently cleaning it. you looked up at johnny, focused on whatever he's doing, already with his boxers on.
"you can sleep, princess." the last thing you heard before falling into your deep slumber.
•••
oh this is bad. this is fucking bad.
the first thing you thought after waking up.
johnny was no longer in your bed, which you knew it was the right thing to do, but you'd be lying if you say that it's diappointed you a bit.
but him leaving wasn't the problem, the problem was you just had sex with your best friend's fiancee.
one side of your brain tells you to go over to their place and ask mina for forgiveness, on your knees, and begging. the other side tells you to stand your ground and confront johnny, tell him to stop this foolishness and come back to you.
before you could even decide, your phone rings.
caller id: kwon mina
"fuck." you grunted, your conscience eating you alive.
hesitantly, you accepted the call.
"h-hey."
"is my fiancee there, y/n?"
she knows. she fucking knows! what-- how?! shit!
you took a sharp breath. do you lie? or do you tell her the truth? you didn't know.
"no." techinically, you didn't lie. johnny isn't here right now, isn't he?
"you're a fucking liar. i knew i shouldn't have trusted you, y/n. johnny didn't come home last night and his phone's location is on! he's on your house last night!"
you had to pull the phone away from your ear as mina's voice nearly broke your eardrums.
you gulped. this is it. this is the worst case scenario. you're officially a horrible person.
"h-he just fetched me because i was drunk-- and i-i couldn't go home because-- i was wasted."
you gripped your sheets tighter, scared of what mina's going to say next.
"yeah? i bet you fucking did that on purpose, you slut?! seeking attention from MY fiancee?! you're a fucking bitch!"
you were shocked. this is the first time mina had spoken to you like this. given that you deserved it, it still shocked you.
"please calm down--"
"you're telling me to calm down?! you fucking stole my fiancee! you're my best-- my best friend!"
but didn't she stole him from you first?
you badly wanted to argue with her. you wanted to yell at her. but deep down you know you're in the wrong. so you bit your lip.
slowly, you gelt your eyes water. this isn't you. why did you even do that? and to mina? the person who helped you through out everything?
you're so evil. you deserved this.
"i'm sorry."
"i'll tell father to cut off any connection to you. you're mooching off our money anyways, i can't believe you would do this. after what i did to pay off your student loans? you're such an ungrateful bitch. don't ever contact me, or johnny again. fuck you."
that was it. the end for you. mina had officially cut you off her life.
for what it feels like a decade, you sat in your bed crying. feeling guilty, sadness, anger, and honestly just hating yourself.
but you can't do this all day. you can't stay depressed and wait for anyone to come and take care of you. you need to move on. plan for the day. take the consequences of your actions.
about 4pm when you called ten and asked to meet up with him at the nearest cafe. you needed his advice. you can't think straight, and ten is the perfect person to give you some words of wisdom.
"i already knew this would happen." ten was laughing. fucking laughing.
"be serious, please. this is a big deal. i might've ruin their relationship." guilt is still eating you alive.
"i mean, that whole charade of a relationship is already fucked up. this just needed to happen for them to realize it."
you grunted. you really wanted ten to scold you at least, tell you what you did was horrible. but here it is, with the same attitude as always, egging you on about everything's okay. it's not.
"please. can you tell johnny-- i want to talk with him and mina? i'll apologize--"
"apologize for what? claiming what's yours? mina stole johnny from you, y/n. i was there when she said that you're already dating that jaehyun the day after you broke up with him. which was clearly wasn't true, because jaehyun was dating renjun from art class."
it took you minutes to process what you just heard. did mina lie? did she.. made up that rumour? that's why johnny never questioned you again the day after you broke up?
"i-is that true?" you asked again. you gulped to pull back your tears.
"yep. i tried telling johnny that but he was busy getting brainwashed by that crazy girl." ten sipped his coffee casually as if he's not breaking this vital information to you.
your guilt suddenly replaced with rage, you started breathing heavily.
"s-she wouldn't do that!" you wanted to prove ten wrong. mina might be difficult to understand sometimes but she wouldn't do that do you. wouldn't she?
"oh come on. she was blabbering about that's why you broke up with johnny. because you were all up on that golden boy jeong jaehyun."
"n-no! she told me.. she told me her and johnny kissed. and--and johnny liked it. and- and she loved him too.. t-that's why i broke up with him."
it's ten's turn to be shocked. all through out college he was with johnny. he knows johnny more than anyone, and not once did he ever see johnny giving interest to mina.
it doesn't make sense!
"wait, what? when?" ten was visibly confused.
"at that senior summer party." you remembered vividly. you couldn't go because you felt ill, so johnny had to attend without you. and the very next day, mina broke the news that johnny and her kissed.
"then your best friend is not only a bitch, but also a pathalogical liar. she was begging-- and i meant begging, for johnny to break up with you that night. johnny and i just blamed it on the drinks but there was no kiss that happened. i was there y/n."
•••
it's been a week.
you're back to work, never contacting johnny or mina again.
mina bombarded you with texts like,
you don't even apologize? i was wrong about you, y/n. you're such a bad person for doing this to your bestfriend.
you smirked. yes, you were wrong for sleeping with johnny. that was your fault. but what she did?
oh, that fucking hurt. she lied to you, to johnny, to everyone just to get what she wanted. she used your innocence.
she knows that johnny was the only person you've loved that much. she knew, because you tell her that everyday. that you're grateful for johnny, entering your life and being your constant.
all while planning an evil scheme to take him away from you? what kind of best friend does that?
and johnny? he was no where to be found. ten said johnny avoided every call, every attempt he made to see him. even mina doesn't know what's going on his mind.
as you got your paycheck for the month, you quickly transferred it to mina's bank account.
i know it's gonna be a long way until i can fully pay my debt, but i promise i'll finish it by the year. thank you. - y/n
that was the note you sent her.
you wanted to cut her off completely. you knew this would happen, her turning everything against you, returning every 'help' she gave you as an insult. you kinda felt that she had it in her, yet you refused to believe every red flag about her.
you wanted to live at peace, dependently without anyone helping you for once. mina was a lesson, and you will never repeat the same mistake again.
you're done feeling indebted to someone.
you don't know if the wedding's still on, and honestly you don't care. you just know that if it did go on, it wouldn't last. given the fact that it all started with a lie.
you were closing for the night at the diner. it was a wednesday so the diner wasn't busy. tonight's shift was just you by yourself.
it was 9pm and you were sure no one's gonna enter anymore. the diner's only open until 9:30, so having customers for the last 30 minutes is likely improbable.
or so you thought.
as you were wiping the counters down, you heard the door open.
at first you didn't look at who ever entered the diner but as soon as you senses a familiar presence, you looked up and as you expected or at least hoped, it was him. 
"c-can i help you?" you can't help but this starter upon your words but you still manage to blurt it out.
johnny, standing tall, is looking at you with his eyes filled with so much comfort. as if he was glad to see you.
"hey." he whispered. before he came in the diner he already practiced what he wanted to say but upon seeing your face, the way you looked at him, it seems like he forgot everything, every word that he thought beforehand. it all flushed down, his mind full of you, only you.
"why are you here?" there you go. you couldn't keep on ignoring the elephant in the room.
"ten told me everything." johnny sounded tired.
you stood there in silence. you didn't know what to say. he wasn't the bad guy here, he was collateral damage. you couldn't blame him, but then again, he's not that innocent either.
so you didn't know whether to confront him, or tell him you're sorry. he just stood exactly at the line between the victim and the one at fault.
but you opted to apologize. that was the calmest way to address things, you thought.
"i'm sorry. i should've told you." you couldn't meet his eyes. how could you? when you left him without saying anything. you just.. left.
"i ended things between me and her, by the way." johnny took trides to lessen the gap between you, as he walked to the counter and sat in the stool front of you.
"i'm sorry about that too."
"it wasn't your fault. i shouldn't even let that engagement thing happen in the first place. i knew it wasn't right."
"--but still. the fact that- what happened between us, happened while you're still with her, was fucked up, johnny." you admitted.
"it was." johnny. once again, an awkward silence filled the room.
"i told her everything. we talked about-- well she yelled most of the time. i apologized but she didn't listen. she just went on about me being a cheater-- you being a bad friend. she was really mad." johnny even managed to stifle a non humorous chuckle as he reminisced about the moment he told mina everything.
plates were thrown, mugs were broken. mina was furious, but johnny knew it wasn't right.
"she has a right to do that." you replied.
"i just want to know one thing, y/n."
"w-what is it?"
"how is it so easy for you to give me away to your friend?" johnny was pained as he said those words. he couldn't believe his ears when ten had told him that. all along he thought you had fallen for someone else, that jaehyun from art class or something.
you gulped. immediately, tears started to pool in your eyes.
"s-she said you.. you liked the kiss. you.. kissed her back." from what has been revealed to you recently, saying that just felt stupid. how could you believe her?
"you didn't even bother to ask me." johnny, now looking at you.
"i was stupid, back then johnny. stupid and scared. you know mina has a lot against me. i couldn't just.."
"so you sacrificed your own happiness for hers?" johnny asked. your threathening tears started to flow, as you nod as a response.
"you sacrificed me?"
"i'm sorry." all that you could say.
"right now, are you finally choosing yourself?" johnny had something in mind when he came here. and he has no plans on making it longer.
"i-- try to. i need to." you sobbed between your words.
"am i still your happiness?" johnny had a spark of hope you would say yes. this was his plan. now aware of what happened, he was sure he wanted to get to you.
all along he thought you were happy with someone else. heck, he even thought it was with ten. he didn't know you were hurting. if he did, he wouldn't even hesitate to leave everything behind. just to get to you.
"yes." you admitted.
"then--" before johnny could finish, you interrupted him.
"maybe we shouldn't just jump into this, john. give us time. we've been through so much. you need a break from all of this, and i need to focus on giving myself importance. and maybe-- maybe when we're good, when we're both doing great, we'll find each other again--"
"i've had enough of space away from you, y/n. a year, without you is already too much for me. if you want to focus on yourself, then i'd be there. i'll focus on you too. j-just.. just let me be by your side." johnny held your hands. you sobbed as you looked at him.
"mina's still-"
"i thought you wanted to think about yourself? don't think much about her. she's done enough damage to you." johnny explained. it almost angered him what mina had done, but then again, he doesn't want this situation to be bigger than it already is.
"okay." you nod. you trust him. you trust his words.
"be selfish, for once."
"then be with me, johnny. i'll be selfish about you. y-you stay with me." you blurted out the courage to say it, and it felt good.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” your boyfriend Taeil asked you.
It was 5 in the morning and you two were sitting on the top of the hill under one of the trees. You in his arms, both facing the sunrise. Your back pressing to his chest and his chin resting on your shoulder. His arms around you holding tightly back-hugging you.
A warm and soft summer breeze blowing your short hair inside your eyes made you flinch.
“What happened? Did something go inside your eyes?”
“My hair,” you said in tiny pouting.
“My baby! The wind is disturbing you?” he cooed swaying you from side to side.
It wasn’t a lie when he had said that you will be always his baby. It wasn’t a lie when he said he is going to treasure you for a lifetime. It wasn’t a lie when he promised to bring you to see the sunrise on his birthday. Despite sleeping late after a movie and a small cake fight, you both woke up at 4 am to get ready for watching the sunrise.
The first rays of the sun, the red and orange lights washed over your eyes and his grips suddenly tightened around you as if you would slip away from him, it didn’t make you concerned. A smile crept on your face.
“I am not going anywhere!” you said by holding his arms.
You wanted to see him, you wanted to look into his eyes. It was his birthday after all. When you wanted to turn to him, your hand accidentally brushed over a hard object on his pant pocket, it was too small to be his phone. Your eyes shot up in realization. You turned around at once.
“Taeil, what is that?”
“What? What are you talking about?” he tried to be serious but his personality made his smile out of control. “Okay, I can’t hide anything from you. So, …” he stood up and helped you to stand.
Taeil looked towards the sun and took a deep breath. He turned towards you and took out the blue velvet box that brushed against your hand earlier and kneeled on one knee. He opened that box and looked at you. His eyes were full of hope and happiness, he knew that you were only his.
“Y/n, will you marry me?” he opened the box. It was customized, a star. A star for him. A star for the moon. He made it himself, when he said he was working on music, he was drawing. It looked that he specifically studied all your sheets to make that.
“I know that my girlfriend is a jewelry designer, but I did my best to make it.”
“It’s the best one that I have seen because it's not only a ring it's your heart,” you said kneeling in front of him. Your eyes full of water, happiness in every word.
“Ï wanted to surprise you with my cooking on your birthday but you are the one who surprised me back. Now, I am the flustered one.”
He smiled. He knew that you were a terrible cook but it would be nice to make a kitchen mess together for a lifetime.
“Y/n, an idol is being rushed to the hospital because of falling from height. Please stay tonight.”
“Ohhh god, they won’t let me even die in peace.” She whined.
She was already ready to go home. In front of emergency waiting for her cab when she was called back. It’s been 3 times in that week that she has been called because of an idol getting injured late at night.
“Which group?”
“NCT,” he hung up.
How the hell they end up being in the ER at regular intervals? Y/n, just be happy with the cup noodles once again. She thought to herself and went inside. Previously, even NCT members ended up in the ER for the most bizarre reasons.
She was waiting outside ER when the ambulance and a car following that stopped. She put on a smile but still inside annoyed, one that is called a customer service smile. And ran to them.
She peeked inside, this time it was ‘Haechan’, she had already memorized their names.
“Vitals okay. Back pain. No open injuries.”
“Okay”, she said and followed them to the examination room. Another four to five followed them to the room.
“Sir, please calm down”, she said to the Maknae, who was still whining of pain.
“I suspect fracture but…”.
“What?” she couldn’t even finish the sentence before earning a gasp from them. It startled her.
Why the gasp when none of you are normal.
“Nurse, please arrange an x-ray for Mr. Haechan.” She called.
“His injury doesn’t look bad. But still, I need to know how he slipped? To predict the injury. And no need to introduce yourselves, I already all of you from the numbers of times you all came here.”
“He was running from me and slipped from the first floor and fell to the ground floor,” said Mark looking guilty.
“Then he must have injured badly but he doesn’t look bad.” She stood up from her seat and went to his side.
“No, that’s not it.”
“I tried to catch whoever was falling but when I saw it was him, I backed off,” said Doyoung sassily.
It's not going to be normal.
“Then I tried to catch him…” started Taeyong.
Ray of hope…
“…but I also slipped.”
Gone…
“Then I tried to catch both of them but managed to catch Taeyong only,” said Taeil.
They are beyond the level of sanity.
“Can you please clarify to me that he fell on the ground or not?” She said suppressing her growing anger and giving her customer service smile.
“He fell but from a small height,” Yuta’s final words stopped the whine of Haechan, but with a small gap.
“But I am still having back pain…” he cried in front of you dramatically.
“Okay, your x-ray is arranged. And you all may wait outside. But I don’t think you need that but still, let’s do it and if you are feeling severe pain, then I can give you some painkillers.”
“Wait doctor!” he said sitting straight from the bed. Her widened eyes made him realize his mistake.
“Adrenaline rush!” saying this he again laid back.
“Why were you calling me?”
“Can I get your number? You know just in case…”
“Mr. Haechan, I don’t think you need any medications. You may go back to the dorm with your brothers.” She said smiling.
She scribbled something on a paper and handed it to him. His smile grew wide looking at the paper. He gleefully jumped from the bed and walked out.
Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.
Does this look right to you??
These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.
Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.
I wanted to say that I don't feel any confidence in my writing, and the situation here is also not very good. Everyday we are living like owing time. If you all can suggest any genre or any changes to the themes, then please feel to ask. I will surely reply because writing is something that I love the most.
Take care.
Mama Suh always wanted to see her grandchildren, and play with them but to her disappointment, her son never got time to date, anybody. So, she had to take things in her hand.
She set up a date for Johnny in Chicago when he was home for Christmas. The first date went through knowing each other’s name, interests, and work. And that was like a total clash when an introvert meets an extrovert. He was the one that set up the atmosphere and made you comfortable around him. That was the only thing that made you look forward to your second date with him. He had planned a date at a fancy restaurant but changed it at the last moment and asked you to visit his home.
Johnny had already planned the whole evening. He had brought a Christmas tree and lots of lights and mistletoe. He had prepared the dinner himself. And prepared gifts for you. Well prepared and was only waiting for the doorbell to ring.
He was overwhelmed when he heard the bell ring.
“Good Evening, Y/n, did you have any problem finding my house?”
“No, it’s such a good location, why would there be any problem.”
“I had brought fruits for Uncle and Auntie.” His parents were not in the house that’s why he chose to invite you or else Mama Suh would have asked you about the date of marriage.
“Yeah, I will say her when she comes back.” He took the basket from your hand and escorted you to the couch.
His house had a warm feeling. It sharply contrasted the snow falling outside. Your string was getting stronger with him. With his personality, he was like a fireplace to you. You were always considered cold because of your introverted personality but he understood you. He always made efforts to make you comfortable around him.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Hmm…”, he said arranging the table.
“Why did you choose your house for our date?” Johnny smiled at you. He admired your innocence and curiosity.
“I planned to take you out but Mom said that she is going out with Dad, so, I invited you here, and also I thought a house would’ve different feeling. Don’t you like it?” He asked with fake concern that panicked you.
“No, no, no, it’s not like that. I like quiet places. I like your house very much. It’s warm just like you,” you mumbled the last three words but he heard that and pretended like he didn’t hear anything to make you comfortable around him. It was rare to have someone have feelings from the first blind date but you two were just fools in love.
You noticed the Christmas tree and decorative laying behind the couch.
“Have you tried this?” You asked pointing to the tree.
“Yeah, I wanted to surprise Mom and Dad but I have no idea.” He said scratching the back of his neck.
“Will you help me? You can come up with ideas.”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Okay, let’s do that after dinner.”
The dinner was full of laughter. He narrated the 10th-floor stories. Some deadly, some comedic, and some horrific. You almost choked once because of his stories, he hurried to your side with water and patted your back. It was that moment when you realized that you need him in your life, for a lifetime. Both of you settled and again he started with all his stories, his stories didn’t end and your laughter didn’t stop. It was a moment that was going to be memorable for both of you till death.
After dinner, you both settled on the floor for decorating. Although Johnny insisted on sitting on the couch, still you said that it wouldn’t have any feeling of a family. It gave him hope.
“I saw your designs on your Instagram page, how do you get so many ideas?”
“They just come. I don’t do anything for them to come.”
“We also have a bunch of kids in NCT who design, you would love to meet them. You would love to meet them all. We have everyone younger than me except one and trust me even though he is the eldest but he is like a baby. I hope I can take you there.” You just smiled at his words but never replied to anything so he didn’t ask you anymore but little did you that he was asking you to come with him. You couldn’t even ay him that you watched every NCT video at least 10 times to know more about him and you memorized everybody’s name.
You two sat decorating the Christmas Tree, and he was helping you and also narrating the stories when he decorated trees with his groupmates. Unaware of time, you two enjoying your date, a date that you wanted.
“Y/n, I have something for you.” You looked at him and he ran to his room and came out with two folded sweaters for him. When you unfolded it, you saw that it had your initials on it and Johnny had also his initials.
“Wow, I like it. Thanks.” He smiled.
“Well, I also have something else for you.” He again ran inside and came with a wrapped box.
“What’s this?”
“You will know when you open it. Come on open it.” He became excited and started to jump and seal clap and for the first time, anybody’s excitation excited you. You started to unwrap it.
“Hogwarts Castle Lego set! Thank you very much. But how do you know that I am a Potterhead?”
“Oh. I saw your Instagram and you had many drawings of Harry Potter, so…”
“Thank you. I love this.”
Only this! not me! Johnny thought.
“Johnny, it’s getting late, I think I should go. We will meet next time.” He never wanted you to go. You were the one he wanted the most and always treasure you and protect you. He wanted you to stay by his side.
“Okay.” He stood up and went with you to the door but as soon as he opened the door, a chilly gust of wind blew and it was a snowstorm.
“Looks like a blizzard!” You were just about to go inside when he grabbed your wrist.
“Y/n, we are under the mistletoe!” You looked up and indeed a mistletoe was hanging and you both under it.
“When did you hang this?”
“When you were busy decorating Christmas tree.” He said with a shy smile. Yeah, you should’ve known that it's his idea.
“Y/n, I think we should kiss.” He placed his lips on yours. Even though the chilly winds and the snow were cold but you felt warmth under his touch. It was love. When you separated, his eyes were full of feelings for you. A home for you.
“I think I have to stay here. The snow won’t allow me to go.”
“Hmm.” Even nature was on his side.
He closed the door.
“Y/n, I want to ask you something.” You looked at him. He was serious.
“Yeah.”
“Would you…would you like to come with me to Korea and stay by my side? You can carry freelancing there.” You smiled at his confession. That is not only what you wanted but that was what you needed. You were crazy for him, and you needed him.
“Yeah. I would love to.” Johnny was overwhelmed with your response, he hugged you at once. But something came between you two ‘Lego’.
“Johnny, do you want to try this with me.” He nodded.
“Wingadium Leviosa ”
“Expelliarmus”
And you two were in a sleepless night, sitting near the fireplace and joining the Hogwarts castle and casting spells on each other treasuring the memories with your kiss and hugs that you shared.
“Are you going to introduce me to your boyfriend or should I plan a blind date for you?”
“Mom! Please. I don’t want to listen to anything,” you said stuffing your mouth with cup noodles. Your Mother has been bothering you about your boyfriend.
In the morning, after coming back from the gym, you got welcomed by a lady sitting comfortably on your couch. She had cleaned your room.
“Mom, what a surprise?” You were confused. You should be happy that you saw your Mom after so many days but it’s also clear that why she was there. No matter how happy you were but to feel irritated.
“Why your office gave you so small a room? But still, you don’t bother to clean it.”
She always wanted to meet your boyfriend. But currently, you have no boyfriend and there is no way that she was going to get convinced by your words. This is the result of getting friend-zoned always. It’s not wrong that you tried so many times to start a relationship with anybody but always ended up being friend-zoned and that’s the reason why you didn’t want a boyfriend anymore.
“You have two guy best friends but have no boyfriend. Are you this unattractive?”
“Ma… Can you please shut your mouth? I don’t want a boyfriend.”
“Are you still afraid that you will be friend-zoned?”
“Please, if you will talk anymore, I will send you back.” She clicked her tongue before shutting up.
You took out your phone and dialed a number.
“Who are you calling?”
“You don’t need to know,” you hissed but the person you were calling was not picking up.
“Yeah… Y/n, how come you call this morning.” Finally, Jaemin picked the phone.
“How much did you drink last night?” He growled.
“Who said that I drank yesterday? Does my morning voice sound that sexy?”
“Shut up. I need your help.” You hung up. And the next moment you heard a knock on your door. You opened the door.
“Jaemin, come in,” before you could warn him not to talk any nonsense, he had already started.
“Y/n, you had locked your door. It’s suspicious,” he shut his mouth the moment his eyes fell on your mother.
“Good Morning Aunt. Nice to see you in the morning.” He said scratching the back of his neck.
“Nice to see you Jaemin. And where is Jeno?”
“Mom, I don’t think he is up yet.” You intervened, you had to because you never want your best friend to feel awkward when your mother asks him to be your boyfriend.
“Jae, can you book a hotel for Mom?”
“Why a hotel? I want to live with you.”
“Mom, it won’t be convenient, you can see the size of the room.” Thank god! She was convinced with the reason or else she would have opened a blind dating sight in the room.
“Where is your kitchen? I will make something for you.”
“Yeah, sure Aunt, you can use my kitchen. Y/n’s fridge is empty.”
“Oh dear, you care about her.” And the next moment she was shoved out of the room.
“Wait, wait, okay, just tell Jeno to join.”
“Okay, I will ask him.”
Then in the room, you and Jaemin were there and you were giving him the apologetic look for causing this chaos and he was going to the hotel booking sights.
“You don’t look drunk!”
“Yeah, who said I drank?”
“But you went to bar last night. And Jeno got a dunk.”
“Yeah, we went but we only drank mocktails, we never went to cocktails. And Jeno never drank he was the first one to head home. I came also came to check on him and saw him sleeping.”
Your mind went back to last night. Around 8 pm, when you heard a knock. When you opened the door, you were welcomed by a drunk Jeno, and all of a sudden, he closed the distance between you two and placed his lips on yours. When you realized the moment, he had already started to move his lips. You tried to shove him until your eyes closed. And the next moment you were kissing him. Both on your couch and lips moving in sync, tongues colliding and breathless. But before things could elevate, you pulled out, he also sat up and without saying anything marched out of your room.
Correct, he wasn’t drunk, he never had the smell of any alcohol. That means he was fully conscious when he was kissing me, he knew what he was doing, it was never a mistake.
When you realized, your face heats up.
“Y/n, what happened you zoned out?” Jaemin’s voice snapped you out of your thought.
“Huh? Nothing.”
“Then I will talk with Aunt about the hotel. I am going to wake Jeno.” He left and again your mind went to Jeno.
Indeed, he was hot. Your chemistry with Jaemin was good because you were like siblings but Jeno was of different species. The moment you saw him, he felt that he was too hot for you. But as you became friends, you came across a warm Jeno with a sweet eye smile. He always thought about you and treated you nicely but all those years of being friend-zoned made you blind to his love. You were too blind to understand his love language. But the constant heartbeats when he talked with you, or you were alone with him. Just the thing was, he never approached you and you never understood him. It was also a hard time for Jeno to resist your lips, your sweetness, and of course your care. You two had already set up a different world but never accepted the feelings.
And there was no way that you could say your Mom that you were just kissed by your best friend when he was fully sober but acted like a drunk. It was sure that he liked you but never expressed. You had no idea that even if he will confess to you or not.
You went to the kitchen where your mother had already set up the table.
“Y/n, I was just about to call you. Where are Jeno and Jaemin?”
“Yeah, Jae has gone to wake him.”
“Hey, I think Jaemin is suitable for you,” she whispered to you eventually getting elbowed by you.
“Mom, stop it, he is like my brother.”
“Okay, okay, whatever.” You made her disappointed this time.
Jeno and Jaemin entered the kitchen.
“Good Morning Aunt, I didn’t know that you came. Jae just told me that it’s a surprise.”
“Aunt’s breakfast is the surprise.” Everyone laughed at his statement.
Throughout the breakfast, Jeno and you never dared to make eye contact with each other. The silence was not awkward just of the pleasant and satisfying food that they hadn’t since long. But still, Jaemin decided to break the silence.
“Jeno, do you know why Aunt has come?”
“Jaemin, concentrate on eating, don’t talk nonsense.” But he just went on.
“She wants to set up Y/n with somebody. She has also arranged a blind date for her. Jeno, now Y/n won’t hang with us instead she will go on dates with her boyfriend.” He said with a fake sadness in his voice that was rather mocking.
“Jeno, just imagine Y/n dating somebody.” He said and laughed, your mother was no less than Jaemin, she was also enjoying. But the blood of Jeno was boiling. You could feel his piercing gazes that straight went inside your soul. And poor you, you were trying hard to avoid his eyes.
Jeno stood up from his place. “Aunt, excuse me, I have some errands to run.” You sighed in relief when he said this.
“Y/n, you have your day off, so come with me.”
“No Mom, not any more blind dates.” She again clicked her tongue and you had no other option than to go with her.
“Jaemin, do you want to come with us?”
“I am going to sleep all day.” He was just too lazy to move.
After the full retiring day, you finally reached your apartment, your Mom took you shopping. She shopped for you, her, and your siblings. The whole day you moved from one shop to another, now, your legs were begging you for rest.
Jaemin met you at the entrance, “Hey, how your date went?” he said grinning.
“Jae, I was shopping for Mom all day.”
“Ohhhhh… enjoy. I am going for walk. If you want anything text me.”
“Okay, bye.”
You came to the room, but your room was not locked. You remembered locking it, and the spare keys were with Jaemin and Jeno, if Jamin was heading out then the only person inside was….
You slowly opened the door to see Jeno sitting on your chair.
“Jeno? Do you need anything?” you wanted to sound as normal as possible.
“Had fun on the blind date?” he said sarcastically. His little laugh was bitter and his mood was sour. That irritated you. It was his fault that he never confessed you. But you wanted to push his boundaries.
“Yeah, had fun. He is a good guy,” you said mocking. You had pushed far.
The next moment, he pulled you and laid you on the couch with him on top of you. His lips on your neck, he was behaving like a beast and you as his prey. Your strength was negligible to shove him from you.
“Jeno stop it, please Jeno.” He stopped, he realized that he will lose you if he didn’t stop. He sat beside you on the couch. He was guilty of his actions.
You didn’t want any kind of explanation from him. You stood up. But he was faster and hugged you from the back.
“I am sorry, I like you Y/n, and I don’t want to lose you to any stranger.”
“Jeno, if you like me, you could’ve confessed me.”
“But I was afraid that it will affect our friendship.”
“I like you.”
“Huh?” his grip loosened and he stood still. You turned to him.
“I like you or why else a girl would kiss you back.”
His facial expression was unreadable, he didn’t say anything and that made your heart drop. Disappointment washed over you. And now, you were looking at the ground with eyes full of water.
He embraced you and his warmth was comfortable. He seemed smiling, and your tears dropped on his shirt.
“Let’s go to Aunt tomorrow and say that you have a boyfriend now. So, she should stop looking for a partner for you.”
A different phone in his hand, Mark was sitting on his bed. His hairs were like he was hit with a typhoon indicating that he just woke up. He was thinking that he should text or not. But his urging insides were so much desperate to see you that he made up his mind to text right away.
Mark sent the text-
‘Let’s meet’
After few second the reply popped up-
‘Okay, let’s meet’
Mark stood up from bed and straight went to the washroom to do his hair, he would never like that his girlfriend will see him in this look. He was looking at his face in the mirror, the pale face, the messy hair and the irony was the afternoon sun rays that fell to the bathroom through the ventilators. He had lost lot of his weight.
All of a sudden, a figure appeared behind him scaring him. He almost jumped on the sink.
“OH MY GOD, Y/n, you almost scared me to death.” A sly smile appeared on her face.
“It’s fun because you get scared every time.” She walked to him and settled herself on the sink slab just beside him. He started to brush him teeth.
“Again, you are late. It’s almost afternoon. See the sun rays falling.” She tried to trap the sunlight in her hands but the naughty sunlight never came in her hands. So, she just gave up and made a disappointed face. Mark chuckled at her. These are the small actions that always attracted him to her.
“You are still cute,” he said scrunching his nose with the brush still in his mouth.
“I am still cute because you always upload the data, you still upload Y/n’s photos that feed me.” Mark’s expression changed because that was the reality that he always wanted to avoid. He wanted to change the topic.
“Y/n, what if I would have naked in bathroom when you popped up?” A laugh escaped her mouth.
“It’s not that like Y/n hasn’t seen you naked,” she said wriggling her brows. “And even after that you don’t want to be seen naked then, I will wait outside.” She jumped from the slab and went towards the door. But before opening the door she turned around, “And by the way, it’s æ-Y/n not Y/n.”
Mark freshened up and opened the bathroom doors to see the avatar of his girlfriend scanning his girlfriend’s photos on the self.
“That is the last photo to be uploaded.”
She turned around. She is just like her, her every action is like her. But she is not her.
“What are you looking at?”
“No doubt you are her æ.”
“Yeah, she is the one who made me, you are only keeping me alive.” Mark didn’t want to say anything. He knew that what he was doing is beyond the law of nature and only because he never mentioned that his girlfriend is dead, her æ’s existence didn’t vanish. He only wanted to keep her alive, her memories alive.
“By the way Mark, whatever I am going to say may hurt you but it’s for your good. I know you love Y/n very much and didn’t want her dead, but what happened is god’s wish. Everything has a reason, may be Y/n too. But the way you are keeping her alive is wrong. Even she would also wish you to move on. Every time you ask me to come because you miss her but I am only her æ and you constantly update me to see her but you have to realize the truth that I am not her. And it is only making you hard to move on from her. You and me both know that I have no existence now. But still, I am living here because you keep on operating me. Mark, let me go into the nowhere, where I belong to. I know that Y/n will always live in your heart and your memory, but don’t make a fake copy of her to satisfy yourself. This is the law of nature and no one can change it.”
Mark’s eyes were already filled with tears. He knew the truth and he feared it the most.
Æ-Y/n came forward and hugged a crying Mark, who was now on the floor on his knees with palms on his face.
“Y/n lives in your heart, in you smile and in your memory. Move back to your dorm, live with your brothers and feel the life like you used to, this is what Y/n wants. She’ll be always watching you.”
She got up and looked at the room one last time.
“Bye Mark, we will never meet again.” And she vanished in front of his eyes.
After few hours
Mark pressed the bell, after a few minutes, Yuta opened the door. He immediately hugged him.
“Mark, how are you? Taeil Hyung and I were just discussing to visit you.”
“No need Hyung.”
“Huh…?”
“I am back. And I will be living with you. Please take care of me.” He smiled widely indicating to the luggage.
Yuta became excited.
“Shhh… Be quiet. Let’s surprise Taeil Hyung, Jungwoo and Jaehyun.”
Y/n bumped into Jisung in the dance class. Both were in hurry, he was late for class and she entered the wrong room. That was Y/n’s first day at dance class and she had clumsily entered into another practice room.
“Uhh, Sorry. Excuse me.”
“Who is she?”
“I think a newbie, not sure,” Jeno shrugged. “By the way have you seen Jaemin, he is also late today.”
“Hey, hey, hey, you know I just helped a beautiful young lady,” said Jaemin entering the practice room.
“What? Whom?” Jeno asked.
“A lady, she was alone and helpless.”
“DON’T EXAGGERATE!”
“Okay. Okay, I think is new here and looking for a contemporary and folk dance room. So, I just helped her to find it. That’s it,” he replied with a sly smile.
“So.., she will be learning folk,” Jisung muttered under his breath but loud enough for the other two to hear this. Jeno suddenly glanced at him and the next moment he knew was cornered in the practice room and tickled until he told them how he knew her.
“She is from my school, but for the first time, I had met her in the library. I was late for school, so, in fear of punishment, I went to the library instead to read comics. After some time she came with her friend and sat across from me, her friend was explaining to her the different sections of the library, so, I assumed that she is new.”
“So, you developed a crush on her and went to the library every day to see her,” said Jeno slyly.
“Ye..yeahhh,” Jisung’s face turned red.
“But I swear I didn’t know that she would join this dance class.”
“So, are you going to talk to her?” He nodded unsurely.
Jeno and Jaemin encouraged him to talk with her. And also dragged him to her practice room. Jisung was shy and didn’t know how to talk but he knew that if he went without talking with her then he would be kicked by his friends. He peeked through the glass only to find her standing in front of the mirror and watch a video on a tablet.
“Umm…Excuse me?” she looked at the mirror and then turned around pausing the video.
“Hey, Mr. Library Guy, who always sits in front of me.”
“You know me?” his eyes sparkled as he asked.
“Yes, I saw you sitting across the library always. And you like to read comics.”
His widened but he didn’t know how to carry on the conversation. He was happy that she noticed him.
“Anyway, why are you alone?”
“I felt like coming here on an off-day to explore.” She shrugged.
“By the way, I am Y/n.” he suddenly remembered that he also forgot to introduce himself.
“Oh, sorry, I am Jisung,” she smiled at him and his cuteness. But he was thinking like things were messing up.
“What will you be learning?” She smiled.
“I am a waltz dancer.”
“Wow, can you show me?” He asked expectedly.
“Yes,” she said and held his hand and dragged him with her to the middle of the room.
“Jisung, the waltz is not a single thing,” she said upon seeing his clueless face.
“But, I don’t know how to do this.” He was becoming nervous with sudden skinship.
She pulled his hand and put one on her waist and the other held in her hand.
“I can teach you, just spare some time from staring me at the library.”
Hii can request a fluffy first date with taeyong 💕
Hey, anon I am really sorry for making you wait. I wrote it and I hope I meet your expectation.
A Fluffy First Date with Taeyong
Just like any school love story, the story between the famous heartthrob and the school nerd, Taeyong and Y/N’s story is also something like that.
With a cold face, soft heart, and ocean of insecurities, Y/n got ready for the first date of her life that she rather called a treat from Taeyong because she helped him to get through the final assignment. She got ready in her usual style, a pair of jeans and hoodie, hair tied in a ponytail with baby hairs falling all over her face, usual sneakers, but she took a big step by applying make-up.
“Tae, you better not stand me up, or else I will never help you again,” she muttered with each step. Her heart was beating with the speed of Usain Bolt. She only wanted to see Taeyong standing at the place he asked her to come. The story was much more popular of nerds having a boring life, not getting their crush, and being stood up by their date because they are boring.
“Hey, Y/n,” she turned towards the voice and saw Taeyong breathing heavily. She was happy but she didn’t know how to express that.
“Why were you running?”
“I woke up late.” He was still catching his breath. His floral shirt with one button open and peach pants was making him hotter than ever. That was the first she was seeing him without a school uniform. Even though her eyes wanted to trail his figure but her clueless mind made her so nervous that she just kept looking at the ground.
“There is a pizzeria at the beach, they serve good seafood pizza. Let’s go there,” her hands were inside her hoodie pocket so, he just held by the thread of her hoodie pulling her with him. The situation was not at all awkward, only the people passing by were looking at their romantic thread date.
The gentle morning breeze on the beach crossed their path as they reached the shore.
“Wait here, I’ll come in a minute.”
Y/n’s mind was only near Taeyong, his every action was only pulling him. He had already made a place in her mind long ago, but she was the one who thought him as out of her league. Recently, he had been involved with her more even though she transferred to the school two years ago. The assignments, the projects, tutoring in the library, or cleaning the class together.
She had never imagined that she will come on a date and that too with a superhot boy. But suddenly her mind shifted to the mean eyes, the back-bitching, and the backlashes that she had endured after coming in contact with him. Everyone thought that Taeyong is only with her because he pities her. Even though she liked him but always her insecurity pulled her. Her mind wandered around the possibility, what will happen when everyone will know that she came on a date with him.
“Still doing mental maths,” she flinched at the sudden voice. She looked at Taeyong who was holding two ice-creams.
“Sorry, I had no intention of surprising you, but you looked so lost in thought.”
“Just thinking.”
“Can you hold these for me? I have to tie my lace.” She held the two ice-creams and saw Taeyong bend over to tie his lace.
He stood up and took one ice cream from her and held her free hand in his other hand. She was more shocked than shy. Her ears were turning rosy.
“Wh..what if anybody sees us like this?” He just shrugged. Making her clueless. Was he just flirting with her?
“Taeyong, I don’t want anybody to misunderstand?”
“Yeah! I also don’t want anybody to misunderstand.”
“Then, why are you holding my hand.” The ice-creams in their hand were long forgotten. Her mouth was only protesting but her hand was more comfortable in the warmth of Taeyong’s hand.
“What kind of misunderstanding?” her facial expression changed to a timid one as if she is afraid to speak.
“Th..that we are couples.”
“Yeah! I also don’t want people to think that we aren’t couples.”
“Huh?” Her eyes widened. Those were the words she mostly wanted but also afraid of.
“Y/n, how can you be so cute? I know that you understand me from your rosy cheeks and ears.”
She just stood there looking straight at his eyes. For the first time, she made long eye contact.
“I know that you like chocolate-flavored ice cream and pizza, you like sipping milkshakes while reading books, and eating and listening to music while doing maths. And I regret taking you to the library to study. You study till late at night, but still, you come to school in time and you sleep with your eyes open.” She chuckled at his explanation. He proceeded to hold both of her hands. The already melted ice cream fell on the sand.
“You are…”
“A great observer. No, I am not, because I only observe you, I only see you Y/n. And you know the first time you came to school two years ago, I liked you since then. For the first time, you asked me for the class notes but I had none, so you went to ask Yuta. And since then, you became friends with him. I was so jealous of Yuta that I wanted to study better than him but he always took my chance. Every time I studied more so that you will ask me doubt but you always went to Yuta. But this is the last year and I thought that if I will sit like this, I will never get you. I approached you. I asked you to tutor me and to help me with everything so that you will be near me. And I am well aware of the things that you are facing because of me and I want to protect you officially.”
His eyes were shining in the sun.
“Y/n, would you like to be my girlfriend?”
“Yes. I would.” She was so shy that she couldn’t keep her eyes on him and looked at the ground.
“Actually, I also started to like you long ago but my insecurity always ate me up and I always thought that I never deserved you.”
He softly held her cheeks and make her look into his eyes.
“Never even think like that. I will always protect you because I like you, Y/n”
He kissed her forehead and embraced her in his arms. The ice-creams and the eyes of people were long forgotten.
“Now, let’s go for our first official date.”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
“By the way, Y/n, did I told you that you look really beautiful in a smile rather than your cold face? And you pretty today in make-up.”
He carefully tucked her baby hairs behind her ears.
******************************************************************************************** Its my first time writing a fanfic. So, I will try to meet your expectation. * *******************************************************************************************
“How long will it take to complete?” Johnny asked with a concerned tone.
“Don’t worry. I just need someone to help me.”
His eyes widened at the elder’s words.
“Hyung, are you kidding me?”
“Why? What happened?” Taeil said half laughing.
“Hyung, I don’t think anyone is available right now. I would have helped you but I am assigned a different partner.”
“Just give me a junior.”
“Give? Hyung, you know this word sounds weird. I am only yours, only.” Johnny said hugging his older brother.
“Then, what about your girlfriend with whom you talk all night in the dorm?” Taeil said with a smug smile. Johnny immediately straightened up.
“Okay, I was kidding. But I sincerely love my brother.” He said cutely pouting that made the elder smile.
“Okay! let's search you a partner.” He said while taking out a paper that looked like more of a list.
“What’s that?”
“This is the record of students working at the club.” He said not even taking off his eyes from the paper.
“Isn’t anybody free?” He said with hope.
“Okay? As per the records, there is only one person who is free these days. I mean not free but she has no problem in multitasking.”
“Okay, I want her.”
“Yeah, she is from design wing.”
“Does she have basic hardware skills?”
“You know Ten, Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul? She works under him. And like Ten, she is also an ace of the design wing, with proficient knowledge in hardware. She still has multiple projects under her and never fails to match with the deadlines. So, you will be lucky if she says yes.”
He was excited and sprang upon his seat. “Yeah! I trust Ten and if she works under him then, let’s go and meet her.”
“Wait, let me call her first.”
She picked up the phone on the second ring.
“Yo! anything at your service sir.” She said in a mocking tone that made both of them smile.
“Looks like you are free.”
“No, I am not free. But you know that I can’t deny you. Well, right now I am at the club room.”
“Okay, then I will meet you there.”
“Okay, I will be waiting,” she said before she hung up.
“Hyung, it seems that the luck is on your side.”
“Hope so,” he said with a sigh.
As they both entered the room, Taeil’s eyes fell on the girl standing on the stool. Her short bob cut hair swaying from side to side with a paintbrush in her hands. The black and blue colored splashes in her hands.
“Y/n!” no answer.
“Y/n?!” still no answer. Johnny realized that she has her AirPods on hidden under her wavy hair. So, he reached for her phone placed it on her bag to pause the music. Taeil’s eye fell on the identity card near her phone, it read as ‘Kim Y/n’. No doubt she looked like a baby.
“Johnny, are you sure that she is an engineering student? Because she looks like a high school student.”
“Yeah, I know she looks young but she is in her sophomore year.” He said and proceeded to pause her music.
As the music stopped, she turned her head and saw two seniors standing behind her.
“Oh! Sorry, I had my AirPods on.” She said as she climbed down the stool. “So, what’s my work?” She proceeded like a full business.
“Y/n, meet Mr. Moon Taeil. My, my Moon Taeil.” He emphasized the word ‘my’.
“When you introduced Ten to me, you said the same thing. Perhaps, are you cheating on anybody?” She hissed back. Johnny was dumbfounded, he had no other answer for her so he tried to change the topic.
“So, you…”
“Hey, I know you are ‘The Moon Taeil, vocalist of Uni Band’ and you have a powerful voice. I am really happy to meet you and I want to be on your team.” She smiled brightly as she stretched her hand to him. He hesitated a bit wondering that how did she know so much about him but then approached her.
“But how did you know so much about me? I don’t think I catch that much attention!”
“You are just like Jungwoo explained. Down to earth.” She said with a smile.
“How do you know Jungwoo?”
“He is my brother. And he always talks about you. He is like your fanboy. He is one who informed me that you approached Johnny for project work. But I didn’t know that ultimately you will come to me.”
“What does he talk about me?” Said Johnny with a sly smile.
“He warned me to keep distance with you.” She said with a shrug that made Taeil laugh.
“You are cool!” he said with a thumbs up while laughing.
“Okay, okay. Hyung, I am warning you. Don’t take her innocent looks for granted. Her glasses can make you fool.”
“Who are you to warn her?” everyone turned their head towards the new voice.
They saw a cheerful Jungwoo walking towards them with a fake pout. They looked alike.
“I think I warned you Hyung to stay away from my sister,” he said eyeing Johnny.
“She is funny, cool, and has great skills as I can see from the wall itself. And Johnny was saying that you are an all-rounder. So, I think you are way better than Jungwoo” said Taeil making Y/n shy.
“Don’t forget Hyung that she developed feelings because I always praised you in front of her. And every day she would wait to listen about you. And she had even attended your band concerts only because of you. She has already fallen for you. Do you really think you two met by chance?” he said with one breath.
Busted! Exposed! Everything!
Y/n had already turned red tomato on her sudden exposure. She felt as if a child caught by her mother eating ice cream at night. Jungwoo realized that he was going to be locked out of the house that night. But the arrow had already released from the bow.
She gathered her things in a moment and ran out of the club but she didn’t know she was being followed.
“Y/n, Y/n…” she realized the voice easily as she already went to the concert numerous times to see him only. Her pace was fast but Taeil was faster than him. This time he was successful to reach her not like the Uni skit where he had missed catching Johnny on the stage itself. As Taeil stopped in front of her, she had no choice than stopping there. They both stood there for some time to catch their breath. As she relaxed she had planned to again run from the spot. But Taeil held her wrist just in time.
“Give me your number, Y/n,” said Taeil still breathing heavily.
“Wh..why?”, she almost fumbled with her words as her heart was beating at a double speed.
“Don’t you want to help me with the project?”
She had almost forgotten about the project amid this hustle.
She stretched her hand shyly and he handed him his phone. She handed him the phone after typing her number. And even before he could contemplate, she again ran away.
“Ah! She is so fast in everything” he smiled looking at his hand which was now a part of the faded blue and black color.
Who knew that Kim Y/n had already started a drumbeat in the heart of Moon Taeil.
