I ; i'm yours

sunghoon sat up, trying to even out his breathing, and aggressively wiping the tears off his face. mind running on a hundred miles per hour, he let his body move on its own. changing lightning fast, running out of the house with a quick "i'm going to buy something" and he was off, to you.

it only dawned on him when he arrived in front of your house how impulsive he was, but he didn't have time to think when he met your wide-eyed gaze, it seems you just finished throwing the trash out.

"hoon?! what are you doing here? did you run? do you need water?" you quickly fuss over him, trying to wipe off the sweat on his face with your sweater sleeve.

"i like you" he blurted out, halting your movements. you stare at the crown of his head, sunghoon with his head down, caught sight of your arms falling to the side. he slowly reached out to hold both of your hands but still refusing to look at you.

"i like you so much and i'm scared because you're leaving and-" you weren't processing anything anymore, all you could think of is 'why now? why now does he decide to confess?'

before you could even spiral further, you got out of your mind when you saw tears slipping from his eyes. you immediately went to wipe them away, finally making him look at you.

a fond smile appears on your face and sunghoon doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. "you really have the worst timing, huh?" he huffed at your statement, his arms circling around your waist.

sunghoon was about to reply until he saw how your eyes traveled all over his face, and when you start caressing his cheeks with the softest smile on your face, he swears that everything suddenly got lighter.

"what do we do now?" you whisper, hands combing through his hair a few times before resting on his nape. "be mine? be mine for the remaining days you're here?" your mouth parts slightly in shock.

"i'm sorry for being selfish but i just— i at least want to say that you became mine even if it's just for a short while instead of not at all" he continued, completely unaware of the turmoil he put you in. "i want to-"

"i'm yours, i've always been yours" you say, effectively cutting him off. sunghoon stares at you for a second before letting out an incredulous sigh, he rests his forehead on yours.

"you don't know what you do to me" he replies, his breath tickling your face, emitting a giggle from you. you boldly planted a peck on the tip of his nose making sunghoon flustered.

you bit your lip to prevent yourself from laughing at his reaction. "see you tomorrow?" you asked, and its only then that sunghoon realized how late it was. backing away slightly he rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled awkwardly "a-ah yeah, i didn't realize how late it was"

"can we go to school together tomorrow?" he asks, "yeah, of course" a smile also appears on his face, "i'll pick you up at 7?" you nod grinning, "i'll get going now then, bye (y/n), good night" he plants a kiss on your forehead first before trudging backwards.

"good night, hoon, text me when you get home okay?" he replies with a salute and continued his walk home. people who passed by him definitely questioned why he was smiling so widely at nothing.

you're not any different with entering your house giggling, sporting red cheeks. the bliss of it all making both of you forget about the impending pain you know you guys will face.

II ; kiss me

"WHY ARE YOU GUYS HOLDING HANDS?!" you flinched at the loud voice coming from behind you. turning around at the same time, sunghoon and you spot your friends marching towards you guys.

"why did you guys come to school together?!" they add. you share a look with the man beside you, both wearing nonchalant looks. you guys had decided to mess with your friends first just to rile them up.

".. are we not allowed to?" you ask innocently. your friends sputtered and it took a lot to not break the act. "... no but-"

"see, there's no problem so" sunghoon cuts them off shrugging, "but !! -" the bell rings. you cough to hide the laugh that threatened to live your mouth.

"let's have lunch together?" sunghoon asks, you nod in reply, "okay, see you" he hurriedly kisses your cheek then ran towards his classroom, with you doing the same. effectively escaping your friends, you chuckle at the audible "WHAT THE FUCK?"

-

you glare at the food being held hostage from you by your friends, "i just wanted to eat" you pout. sunghoon and you were cornered by your friends after buying food and decided to steal said food so they could get answers.

"no, what's with you guys? what are you?" they interrogated. sharing yet again another look, you reply "we're happy?" the collective groan they let out made you guys burst out in laughter.

"seriously, i swear to god" you huffed lightly, "uhm, hehe, we're dating?" you answer sheepishly, moving closer to sunghoon for protection, you feel his hand on the back of your waist. "..... motherfucker?! no way?!"

"okay then we're not" you shrug. "what are you guys really?" you roll your eyes in annoyance, "i told you, we're dating!" you would've laughed at the way they all narrowed their eyes at you guys at the same time if it weren't for the fact that this scene is shortening your lunch time.

"hmm, then kiss if you guys are really together" they challenge.

you hear sunghoon's huff behind you, next thing you know, a finger is softly pulling your chin up, and then something warm on your lips. the shock dissipates almost immediately and you eagerly kissed back.

you were glad that your friends cornered you in a secluded area. you guys only pull away when you hear an "oh my fucking god"

ignoring your loudly beating heart, you faced your friends and smirked, "give us back our food fuckers" you easily snatched them back and quickly grabbed sunghoon's hand and pulled him away from the bunch.

it's when you reach the roof when you and sunghoon finally caught each others eyes, a beat passes, and another, and eventually, you guys descend into peals of laughter.

III ; didn't know

you watch as sunghoon plays with your intertwined hands, you guys were currently in your room, cuddling, just simply basking in each others presence in comfortable silence. but as always, sunghoon had other plans.

"i love you" he confesses. your eyes shut tightly in frustration, you then proceed to bury your face in the crook of his neck, groaning lightly.

"i really have shitty timing huh?" you huff, he feels your head nod, "the worst" he chuckles engulfing you in a full hug.

"i love you too" you say after a few seconds, his hold on you tightens while he unconsciously lowers himself until the positions have been reversed, sunghoon now is the small spoon, clinging on to you like a child.

"i don't want you to go" his voice cracking made you lift yourself up slightly and you see tears threatening to fall from his eyes. you quickly shuffled to be eye-leveled with him.

"baby, don't cry, we'll be fine, you're the one thing i swear i can't outgrow" you say, hands combing through his hair, hoping your words and actions will provide him comfort.

"i love you" he replies, you chuckle lightly before giving him a small peck on the lips. "i love you too"

"i love you so much" the intense look he had made you gulp, "i'm saying it so much because i wish i said it sooner and i'm just making up for all the times i could've just spoke" he explains pulling you closer to him.

"hey" you breathe out to stop him, "it's not your fault, you weren't ready, i don't want to receive a half ass confession anyway if you had said it sooner"

"but i-" "we couldn't have known that it would be like this hoon" you sniffed, "we didn't know" you whisper, stray tears slipping from your eyes. sunghoon was quick to kiss them away.

"i love you, thank you for loving me, i'm sorry i couldn't return it sooner." he melts at the pure adoration and love written on your face.

"you have nothing to be sorry about, i love loving you, and i will continue to do so"

IV ; take off

you sigh shakily, trying to remain strong in front of everyone. you smile at your friends who insisted on taking you to the airport. "i'll miss you guys so much" you cry, leaning on the closest person next to you, sunoo.

"yah! don't cry or else we will too" they scolded making you laugh.

"we made you something though" jungwon says, taking out what looks like letters, you pout "you guys don't want me to cry but then you do this" jungwon chuckles and hands it to you then motioned with his eyes to direction where sunghoon was standing.

you turn around to face the man and quickly engulfed him in a tight hug. his familiar scent wafted through your nose and planted itself into your mind, you wished his warmth could too.

no words were exchanged, everything you guys had wanted to say was conveyed through the hug.

sunghoon moved slightly to lean his forehead on yours. "i can still kiss you right? you're still mine right? we're only over when your plane takes off" a wet laugh escapes your lips and you nudged his nose with yours "i'm still yours, i'll always be yours" he didn't hesitate to place his lips on yours.

the kiss was desperate, and just like the hug, it screamed 'it hurts, it hurts so much, i don't want to leave you'

"i love you" he says after pulling away, wiping the tears before they could fall off your eyes. you hiccup and reply "i love you"

"(y/n), it's time to go" your eyes close at your mom's reminder. hands still holding onto sunghoon's. you turn to your friends, who also had tears running down their face, and grin "group hug!" they immediately surged forward and wrapped you up.

"i love you bitches, you better not forget about me" you joke after the hug. yet you pulled jake into a separate hug, out of everyone in your friend group, you were closest to him.

"take care of him for me, please" you whisper to him before breaking away. jake smiles softly, "don't worry, we will"

you grab onto your suitcases then looked to your friends and waved "i'll see you all soon" you share one last look with sunghoon mouthing the familiar three words before turning to continue on your path.

tears freely fell from your eyes as you walked and not once did you look back, you knew if you did would come running back to him.

and sunghoon watched you go. he felt his heart break more and more with every step you took, every bone in his body telling him to scream at you to come back, to not leave, but you disappeared from his sight sooner than he wanted to.

one hiccup, a second, and another, then he felt arms around him. "it'll be okay" he hears through his cries, he prays that the block in his airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane's way.

but heaven denied, destiny decried, something beautiful died, too soon.

jake gnawed at his lips anxiously, constantly looking through the rear-view mirror to check on you. he was waiting up for you since you were out with your friends when he suddenly received a call from you. he wasn't expecting the voice of your friend asking him to take you home since you were crying so much.

he wanted to speed up seeing as you were still crying and hiccupping at the back of his car but he knew that wouldn't help at all.

you bolted out the car as soon as jake finished parking outside your house, he hurriedly got out to follow you.

closing the door softly, jake found himself standing in front on the bathroom door, his heart breaking hearing you sob.

"baby..." jake spoke when your cries started to die down, "can you open the door? i want to see you" he asked softly. he heard the sound of running water and your sniffing, he imagined you were washing up.

he jolted lightly at the jiggle of the doorknob, he backed away thinking you were going to open the door but a few seconds had already passed and it still remained close.

"please?" jake pleaded and that's when he finally saw you. without hesitation he pulled you into a hug, his familiar scent and warmth engulfing your senses, only brought tears back in your eyes.

jake held you and hands combing through your hair, hoping to soothe whatever was hurting you.

lost in crying, you didn't realize that jake had guided you guys to the kitchen where he sat you on the bar stool. he slowly peeled himself away from you to get you a glass of water.

you only stared at it when he offered the glass to you, "please, baby?" even in this state, you could never say no to him pleading.

after downing the glass of water, jake's hand made its way to your face, his thumb caressing your cheek.

"what happened?" he finally asked. your mood goes down again, remembering why you had broken down. "you." you replied, leaning your forehead on his chest. "you did"

jake swallowed the lump in his throat, "i did?" he felt you nod, "what did i do?"

"i don't know what to do with us, jae" you answered leaning back, finally looking up at him. your eyes close when his hand moved to brush your hair back.

"what do you mean?" he asks. you take his hands and intertwined them with yours and rested them on your lap.

"i... you're an idol, jake" his eyes drop to your hands and his hold tightens at the implication, "and i'm not afraid if they come after me, but i'm just so so scared for you" head snapping back up to look at you in confusion. "why?"

you sighed and got out of the stool, "your image, your reputation is on the line here, i don't want to ruin your clean slate, to ruin your whole career" you explained pacing back and forth.

"and who says you will?" you groaned exasperatedly at his reply. "everybody! your fans, the media, me!"

you exclaimed pointing to yourself. "well, i don't, and i won't ever think you're ruining me" tears of frustration run down your face, "well you should!"

"why? why should i?!" jake's voice now also rising because of annoyance.

"i love you!" everything stilled. "ain't that the worse thing you ever heard?" you chuckle bitterly.

"i love you, and i'm selfish. i won't be able to let you go even when everything is in shit because of the inevitable reveal of our relationship. so you better just-" you couldn't continue what you were saying when arms circle around your waist tightly.

your widened eyes meet his. "say it again."

you huffed, hitting him lightly on the chest, trying to break free from his hold. "say it again, baby, i need to hear it again." the seriousness in his eyes and voice made you gulp.

you sighed, growing slack in his arms. your hand went to cup his cheek, your lips form into a small smile of defeat before it spoke, "i love you"

"i love you too" he replies, and the grin on his face was one for the books.

"come on!" you allowed your friend to pull you away after downing another shot. you giggle as you sat down to whatever circle they brought you.

"are we playing something?" you 'whisper' to the person next to you without looking, "it was truth or dare a while ago, now i think it's seven minutes in heaven"

you knew that voice. turning to face them you grinned widely, "jay! you're here!" he chuckled at you're greeting, "i'm here!"

"hmm, i actually shouldn't be shocked, it is jake's party so, but it's nice to see you!" jay nodded before replying "yeah, you too, it's weird how we go to the same school but hardly ever bump to each other" you hummed in agreement as you took a sip from your drink. "no, i'm just avoiding you" you joked. "and wh-"

"let's go motherfuckers! seven minutes in heaven, i spin first!" jay couldn't continue what he was saying because the game was apparently already starting. everyone whooped as the bottle landed on whomever.

as long as it wasn't you, you really didn't care and just went with everyone's energy. as the first couple stood up, jay offered you a shot which you happily took, you guys made a small 'cheers' before drinking.

"how's business ad for you?" jay was a little shocked that you remembered what he was taking since you guys had only interacted a few times.

"business ad is... business ad" you laugh at his reply and nodded in understanding. "yeah i get, i think if i was also asked how my course has been, i'd answer the same"

"y'all let's keep the game going, 2 couples per round." the bottle was already being spun before you could even agree. you gasped as it landed on your friend and immediately went into teasing them.

"i better not see a hickey on you bitch!" people laughed at your comment while your friend gave you the finger before standing up to go to one of the rooms.

you were thankful for the alcohol because you're normally not this loud and free around people you don't know, and it allowed you to speak to the very attractive man beside you without hesitation.

you went back to chatting with jay as everyone waited until seven minutes was up. and of course, howls rang around the room as the first couple went back with matching bruises on their neck. you weren't surprised when your friend came back with one as well.

"your turn" your eyes widened when you were handed the bottle, you quickly drank a shot before reaching out to place the bottle in the middle and spinning it. sitting back, you anxiously watched as the bottle spun, and next thing you know, it was pointed right at the person next to you.

you turned to face him, you guys wearing matching expressions before sharing a chuckle and standing up to play the game. people cheered and you winked back as a reply before walking in to the closet.

you were cursing all the alcohol in your body because why did they decide to not take effect now?! at the most crucial moment?!

"hey, if you don't want to play the game, it's okay, i don't want to force you into anything" you spoke before jay could.

he huffed, running a hand through his hair, "i was just about to say the same thing honestly" you were about to step back to add more space between you guys but you miscalculated the size of the closet and was about to bump your head into a shelf if jay hadn't pulled you close, by the waist.

your hands gripped his arms as you stared wide-eyed, your neck craned just to look at him. jay's glance to your lips was enough to fuel your confidence to surge forward and placed your lips on his.

jay eagerly kissed back, his grip on your waist tightening. your hands traveled from his chest to tangle in his hair. you tasted the alcohol in his breath and you're sure he did too, but neither could care. the sound of your lips smacking rang in the small closet.

the kiss was making you dizzy more than alcohol ever did. the distance between you guys disappeared being your bodies press together, breaths heavy as you guys kissed.

after a while, you felt the flick of his tongue on your lip making you smirk, planning to tease him. but jay had other plans by nipping lightly, the gasp you emitted allowed his tongue to slip in.

an embarrassing whimper escaped your throat when jay pulled away because of the knock from the door. "hey, lovebirds! time's up!" your eyes rolled in annoyance, jay's low chuckle didn't help at all.

you combed his hair back to its original state, you met his stare and you guys shared a smile before exiting the closet. you snorted as the next couple eagerly entered after you guys.

"want to leave the game? i don't think i'd like seeing you kiss anyone else tonight" you stammered at his statement, already feeling a blush rising to our cheeks. "yah! park jongseong! give a girl a warning next time" you exclaim hitting his arm lightly.

"and where would we even go, mr. park?" you still ask. "hmm, want to head to the beach?" he suggested, you visibly perked up and agreed immediately, you loved the beach.

"we're out bitches!" you only blew a kiss to the group as they booed on your retreating figures. you and jay laughed at your escape, his arm rounding your shoulders and yours circling his waist as he lead you to his car. in less than 5 minutes you guys were already there.

jay just finished setting up the trunk for you guys to lay on when you appeared, "wah, it's so comfy now" you say sitting on the blanket, your legs dangling over the edge of the car.

jay could only stare as you spoke. you were wearing his favorite t-shirt. "that's my shirt." he says, standing in front of you. the height of the car just right enough so you guys were eye-to-eye.

you look down before grinning at him, "yeah, i was cold" you pouted lightly. in your defense, you didn't know the rest of your night was going to be spent at the beach so you just wore a sleeveless dress.

jay fiddled with the hem of the shirt, the only thought running in his mind was that you looked so good in his favorite t-shirt that it hurt. "jay?" you asked when he wasn't responding.

jay hummed in acknowledgement, his eyes glancing to your lips, leaning forward, he nudged his nose against yours, making you giggle at the feeling, before your mouths fell together softly.

you sigh into the kiss as jay's arms wrap loosely around your waist. a great contrast to your guys previous make-out session, when that was heated and urgent, this one was gentle and patient.

you placed light kisses on his nose, on his cheeks and jaw, him chuckling while you do so. until it continued down to his neck.

jay's breath hitched the moment your lips touch his sensitive neck. while you peppered it with kisses, your hands roamed and settled under his shirt, you felt how he was breathing and it made you snicker.

"your breathing's funny" you commented, jay couldn't reply immediately because your breath on his neck made him shudder. he could only groan and lay his head on your shoulder as you continued to laugh at him.

the position you guys were in remained until you felt something warm on your neck, and a prick. you gasped, your hand flying to spot where he bit while he pulled away. "not so funny now, is it?" he taunted, you narrowed your eyes at him.

"why you-" he cuts you off by pecking you on the lips, and of course, you wiped the smirk on his face by a small nip on his neck. before he could even react, you broke free and bolted down the shore.

"yah!" jay exclaimed, running after you. and as jay catches you, he hopes that you forget you put his shirt on, because you'll have to see him if you keep it.

⁺◟gangnam station exit 1 . . . ꜜ

"do you want to collab?" heeseung stared at you with wide bambi eyes, and a mouth full of food. you laughed at his expression while he hurriedly chewed his food, "collab?" you nodded before eating a fry "yeah, i have a new song and i think it's better with a male voice, i suggested it to my producer and he agreed as well"

"i've also actually may have already talked to management already about it and they all liked the idea as well, so basically everyone has already agreed except you" you followed before he could say anything, his eyes narrowed as you spoke.

"... this feels like manipulation" you burst out laughing at his reply. heeseung rolled his eyes "can i at least hear it first?" you nodded grabbing your phone and playing the sample to him.

you bit your lip anxiously observing him as he listened. "well?" you asked looking at him expectantly. he sighed while dropping his head in his hands in 'defeat.' you giggled at his antics, "it's an amazing song..." "but?"

"but i don't get why out of all the male artist you could ask, you chose me" you rolled your eyes and knocked him (lightly) at the back of his head, making him groan in 'pain'

"that's a dumb question lee heeseung and you know it." heeseung tried to hide his smile and blush.

"so, you in?" as if heeseung could say no to you.

⁺◟gangnam station exit 2 . . . ꜜ

"why is the station so specific?" you hear heeseung ask as he read through the lyrics again, "it's a secret" you winked, making him roll his eyes in reply.

"it's a significant station since you know, that's where they met" you explained the song since it's basically a love confession song between two people who meet at gangnam station exit 4.

"i think using a specific spot rather than just saying train station, adds a little flare, don't you think?" he hummed in reply, scanning the lyric sheet again.

"so you know how the tone in this part goes..." heeseung lightly sings the part, "what do you think about changing it to this instead..." you smile softly as he suggests his ideas, which were amazing ones, you nodded encouragingly while he speaks his mind.

you were listening intently honestly, but that small part of your brain couldn't help but point out how much heeseung had grown, and at the same time, thought how he never really changed, he's still the heeseung you knew back when you guys were trainees.

"okay, let's try it" you say, taking a sip of water to prepare your throat. heeseung listened as you sang, applying the changes he suggested, he watched as your smile grew wider and wider, your hand moving to clutch his and shaking it in excitement, all while not breaking a note.

after singing, you face him, eyes wide and sparkly, covering your mouth with the paper in awe, heeseung only laughed at your reaction, "you like it?" "like it?!" you shriek, "hee, i think you just made the song ten times better what the fuck ?!" he shrugged like it was nothing but then chuckled and bowed his head in thanks.

"tell me more of your ideas!" you shuffled until you guys were pressed at the sides, hands still intertwined, heeseung happily listed his thoughts while he unconsciously caressed your hand with his thumb. the action being all too familiar that you didn't even notice, much like the proximity and affection between you guys.

it would have probably made people question your guys' relationship if it wasn't for the known fact that heeseung and you go way back even before you guys were trainees.

your friendship wasn't really that easy to hide in the first place since there are a lot of pre-debut pictures of you guys on the internet, and, you guys weren't really planning to hide it.

especially you, having debuted first, you openly congratulated heeseung in his debut since you couldn't exactly support him while in i-land because you were afraid your influence might affect his votes and image, so naturally you didn't hold back when his name was announced. it didn't bring much trouble because you guys were labelmates anyways. plus the fact that people were supporting, and defending your friendship, they were happy to see their 'faves' interacting.

it's why there weren't any qualms when you suggested of featuring heeseung in one of your songs, since not only does it make the song better, it also brings in wanted attention and publicity for the both of you.

so now, both friends are lost in their own little composing world, uncaring of everyone around them, they were legal anyways, in a sense, to be close to each other.

⁺◟gangnam station exit 3 . . . ꜜ

"wah im so nervous" you chewed on your lower lip as you repeatedly refreshed your feed, waiting for the announcement of your album track list.

you're currently with none other than lee heeseung, both agreeing to be together at the day of the announcement for support and of course, monitoring the response of the fans.

heeseung, not wanting your nervous state to worsen, picked-up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks before pulling your chin down, to stop your lip biting, and to open your mouth, and quickly shoved the food in.

he grinned innocently as you glared at him, angrily chewing the chicken.

"relax, i'm sure everyone will be ecstatic about your album, you'll probably be trending again too" you sighed leaning back on the sofa and covering your eyes with your arm.

"yeah but the chances of everything backfiring is never zero" heeseung chuckled as he scrolled through his phone, he successfully managed to make you forget of the announcement time.

"these tweets say otherwise" you immediately straightened up in realization and quickly checked your feed. the weight on your shoulders disappearing as you read the response.

"are you happy?" heeseung asks, and as always, you give him that god forbidding smile that he swears he only sees you using only on him.

"i am, thank you so much hee" you rest your head on his shoulder, smiling when you feel him kiss the crown of your head. "anytime, (y/n)"

⁺◟gangnam station exit 4 . . . ꜜ

you take deep breaths, and warm up your throat, feeling all funny in the stomach as you hear the cheers in the crowd backstage. you glanced at heeseung who was also shaking off the nerves and doing vocal runs.

your eyes meet and you give him a smile and thumbs up in encouragement which he returned. you allow your stylists to finalize everything they needed to before you go on stage. heeseung walks towards you seeing that you were done being fussed over. "good luck (y/n), fighting!"

"thank you, i'm just really nervous" you were going to perform your title track first before revealing the surprise live performance of your collab with him. "you'll do amazing, you always do" you smile before giving him a small hug and a wave as you were called over. "thank you! let's do our best!" you called.

once on stage, bathing in the lights and cheers, all your worries washed away and you let yourself enjoy the moment, happy to give everything to your fans. you grin when your performance ends and give a small bow in thanks to the audience. "hello, my name is (y/n), it's nice to meet you all" you introduce yourself.

after doing a ment of your gratitude and thoughts about the comeback, you finally decided to tease about the collab and performance.

"for this album, as you all know, i collabed with my friend, lee heeseung" loud cheers erupted, cutting you off. you laugh at the reaction "wah, i'm guessing you all liked it?" a chorus of "yes" resonated. "i'm glad, heeseung and i really worked hard on the song sooo..." you trailed off a playful smirk on your face, you hear the numerous "why?" and "what?"

"to show our thanks.." the lights turn off and you got into your position on the left side of the stage, and when the crowd sees the silhouette of a man joining you on stage and standing opposite of you, they scream louder than ever. you hide your grin when the lights come back on and reveals heeseung.

[song guide: bold for hee, italics for reader, bold italics for both]

In front of Gangnam Station Exit 4, I accidentally stumbled into her. your performance director had decided to actually enact the story in the song, so with that, heeseung pretended to bump into you. Her eyes are so sparkly, her eyes are so sparkly. you smile at the eye contact. If I just passed by, I think I would’ve regretted it.

In front of Gangnam Station Exit 4. A strange man in which I’ve encountered eyes with, He’s so cool, he’s so cool, I really like you. heeseung would've blushed as you guys circled and sang around each other if this performance wasn't already practiced a lot of times. (he blushed the first time though)

I got a crush on you, In front of Exit 4, Got a crush on you. oh the crowd loved that, they were basically getting a front view of a 'confession' between you guys. Next to that pretty girl, Thinking about something good to talk about, Thinking about how I should talk to you, Maybe, maybe that girl is looking at me too.

I got a crush on you, In front of Exit 4, Got a crush on you, Right next to you. Maybe you’re hesitating as well, Like me, Maybe you’re waiting for me as well. you stand off to the side, waving lightly at the people in front of you, to let heeseung do his part.

This path that I walk on everyday, I stop whenever I look at her eyes. It’s hard to breathe, it’s hard to breathe. Suddenly without me realizing, I’m getting attracted to you little by little. while performing, heeseung couldn't help but think about how accurate the lyrics were to his situation with you.

In the midst of the people grazing by, That smile of yours makes me get butterflies. It’s so sweet, it’s so sweet. Gee, I like you. you guys head over to the stools on stage and sat down before starting the chorus again

I got a crush on you. In front of Exit 4, Got a crush on you, Next to that pretty girl. Thinking about something good to talk about, Thinking about how I should talk to you. Maybe, maybe that girl is looking at me too. realization finally hits heeseung as he stares at you while you sing your part.

I got a crush on you. In front of Exit 4. 'we first met in gangnam station' heeseung thinks. Got a crush on you, Right next to you. Maybe you’re hesitating as well, Like me, Maybe you’re waiting for me as well, You know. 'is... is this.. us?'

Our eyes keep on, meeting each other. heeseung's gaze surprised you and you hoped it didn't show. it was different from the previous ones you received during practices. singing the last parts of the song, you and heeseung kept up the act for the performance, such as the shy smiles and glances, which the audience ate up.

you guys let them finish their cheers first before speaking. "surprise! lee heeseung everybody!" he bowed multiple times to the people on different seats of the place. you let heeseung say his thoughts and thanks before he leaves you to do your final ment.

you were unaware of the turmoil heeseung was in while you continued your comeback show. he sat down on his chair and stared into space as he remembered how you guys first met.

he was sure it was at gangnam station exit 4 because it was the stop to the training place, it's where you also found out you were both trainees for the same company. heeseung thought back on the lyrics of the song and his face immediately reddened at the implication.

his attention was taken away by you entering the green room "we did it! congratulations to us!" the smile on your face slowly vanished upon receiving no response, and seeing heeseung's blank state. "is everything okay?" you asked nervously fiddling with the hem of your dress.

you watched as heeseung stood up and closed the door behind you. you gulped when he turned around and walked towards you. you unconciously started to step back until your hip hit the the makeup table.

heeseung suddenly grabbed you by the waist and sat you on the counter making you yelp lightly in surprise. you could only stare at his eyes as he trapped you between his arms.

"what's going on?" you asked, gulping at the proximity of your faces. his eyes narrowed while they run over your face before he pulled back and crossed his arms. "we met at gangnam station, didn't we?"

oh. it was about that. you chuckle, anxiously fiddling with your fingers, "did we? i don't remember." heeseung gives you a 'look' and you break. "yes, we did, what of it?" you try to keep the cool, nonchalant act despite the rapid pounding of your heart.

"is it too assuming of me to think that the song is about us?" he asks tilting your head up by the chin so you'd be forced to look at him. your mouth dries at his gaze and you're unable to answer.

"and that it's also a confession?" heat blossomed in your face and you instinctively went to cover yourself but heeseung's hands caught yours and intertwined them. "hmm?" he tilts his head, waiting for you to answer.

"... no" you answer softly. "no what?" you glare at him. "no, you're not too assuming to think that" you admitted pouting. heeseung chuckled, bring your clasped hands up and kissing your laced fingers.

"and you boldly assumed that i also had a crush on you" he teased making you scoff, "you tell me lee heeseung, you trapping me like this isn't helping that thought" you instantly regretted that when heeseung placed your arms down and trapping you again, this time he was closer than ever.

'you know what, fuck this bitch, if he wants to play, i'll play' was the last thought that entered your head when you leaned in and placed your lips on his. heeseung's hold on you went slack in shock and you took this opportunity to break away and to duck past him.

but he quickly stopped you and pulled you in for another kiss, his arm circling tight around your waist while his other went to cup your face. you melted by the second as the kiss progressed.

your hand wandering from his to chest to his hair, the light growl that emitted from him when you pulled on it, only fired you up more.

you guys pulled away to breath before the kiss got any deeper. you feel his light pants on your lips while he rested his forehead on yours. heeseung then proceeded to shower your face with light pecks, making you giggle.

for a few seconds, you guys stood there just observing each other with his arms still wrapped around you and your hands locked at his nape.

"i love you" he whispers loud enough for you to hear. "platonically?" you joked, he only rolled his eyes before pecking you on the lips

"yes, because friends kiss platonically" he replies sarcastically. you laughed with him before saying "i love you too" and bringing him down for another kiss.

↷ heeseung ; fluff

you raised your eyebrows suggestively at the guy next to you as a person passes by you guys. he just rolls his eyes and lets out an exasperated sigh. "are you still on about that?" heeseung asks.

you lift your arms up in defense "what? how can i let it go?"

"the fact that it's literally been years since i liked them?" you ignored the tiny hope building in your mind.

you couldn't let it go because heeseung doesn't just like someone and moves on without anything. you know he definitely still feels something for the person. "not my fault you decide to tell me about it just recently." you retorted.

"because i know you'll act like this and tease me non-stop about it" you gave him a wide grin and an okay sign, agreeing with his statement. "that's what bestfriends are for" he rolled his eyes and closed his locker door.

"i don't like them anymore so stop" you grumbled in reply. "why don't you believe me?"

"because! you're not like that! have you forgotten how i literally witnessed your whole tirade on the person you've liked before?" heeseung groans and covers his face in embarrassment.

"let's not talk about that, that wasn't me, it was an illusion." you burst out laughing at his statement.

"sure sure, whatever you say~" you say in a singsong voice. the bell suddenly rang cutting off yours and heeseung's conversation. you waved goodbye to him and headed to your classroom.

your smile dropped once your back was turned to him. it hurt putting up an act in front of the person you liked. it hurt that out of all the people why did it have to be your bestfriend.

-

"okay, it's definitely the student rep of class c!" you answer confidently. currently you and heeseung are walking home and since you continued on with your teasing, heeseung had no choice but to say that he liked someone else now. ignoring, again, the pang of pain it sent to your heart, now you just turned to guessing who he likes now.

"no" he says flatly while scrolling through his phone. "eh? i feel like i've said everyone i would think you would like" he chuckles and raises an eyebrow at you mockingly. "but you didn't!" you rolled your eyes and just continued to think.

honestly all this is killing you inside but your mind would not calm down, you have to know who even if the information would do nothing but hurt you.

"don't tell me it's a teacher?" you tease widening your eyes and looking at him incredulously. heeseung burst out laughing at your accusation. "as if." "it was worth the try"

that didn't stop you though, you just continued listing people and each time he would mark your guesses wrong.

lost in your mild obsession in finding out who he was pertaining to, you failed to notice how heeseung was growing annoyed.

"is it-"

"it's you!"

"... what?"

heeseung's eyes widen at his outburst and he almost takes it back but he knows there's no going back. he sighs deeply and runs a hand through his hair.

"it's you, it's you who i like" oh.

he scans your face for your reaction but you remained staring at him wide-eyed. "i realized it about 2 months ago." he admits, your mouth grows dry.

you finally wake up from your trance and you shuffle awkwardly in your place. you glance at him again and he was looking down fiddling with his fingers. you swallowed the lump in your throat before speaking.

"i realized it a year ago. i win" heeseung's head snap up and now he was the one sporting your previous expression. you bite your lip to stop yourself from laughing.

"...what?" wow what a case of deja vu. dread fills his stomach as a teasing smile grows on your face. "oh would you look at that, we're already at my house" you say before speed-walking to your gate.

"hold on, wait!" you hear him following so you turn your head quickly and said "i like you too dumbass but let's talk about this tomorrow" you blew him a kiss and dashed to your house.

heeseung stood dumbfounded in front of your gate. he laughs and shakes his head in disbelief. "god (y/n), you'll be the death of me."

↷ jongseong ; angst

you and jay had been on edge since last week. your texts with each other were all one-liners. dry good mornings and good nights, as well as insincere have you eaten-s. you don't know what's or why it's happening but it started when jay suddenly took hours to reply to you.

you had pushed it aside first thinking he was just busy but after hearing from mutual friends that jay was almost always on his phone, you knew that that wasn't the case.

it hurt and it frustrated you and by the third day of receiving the same cold and distant treatment, you had just decided to treat him the same way. your pride and fear preventing you from asking him what's wrong.

you wanted him to be the one to speak up, it was clear that he had a problem and you didn't want to push it. in fact you had actually asked from the start but all he said was that he was tired, you never asked again after.

and as for your fear, a part of you doesn't want to know what he has to say.

but it's been a week and you can't handle the sleepless nights due to anxiety and overthinking anymore. and you missed him, you missed jay so badly, and you just want all this to be fixed. so pushing back all your inhibitions.

you had texted him "hey, let's talk when you're free okay? love you." you bit your lip as you pressed send, and to your surprise he had seen the message immediately and was already typing a reply.

you ignored the small voice in your head saying 'it really reached the point where you're actually surprised that he's responding quickly'

"yeah, i'll be there in 20. love you too" you don't know whether the sigh you let out was in relief or in nervousness.

-

jay's been here for 5 minutes already and there has been nothing but silence engulfing the both of you. until your attention was caught by the deep sigh jay let out. you guys were seated next to each other on the couch and his gaze was focused on the plant on the coffee table.

"there's been something bugging me since last month, and i didn't tell you since i wanted to be sure of it, and last week i got my answer." he started.

"and i-" his voice cracks, so does your heart. "i tried, i tried to stop it, i tried to figure it out why it happened but i just, i can't find an answer" he continues, frustration evident in his voice.

"and i know, god i fucking know how it's affecting you but i don't know how to handle it and i just, let it be" you grabbed his hand and his attention snaps toward your hold.

"what is it? what's happening, jay? please tell me" you pleaded softly. he shuts his eyes and hung his head low.

"i'm breaking up with you" oh.

your grip on his hand went slack making his clench his teeth. "i'm sorry."

your ears were ringing, you could feel your head start to pound. "i started to lose feelings for you, and i swear, i tried so hard not to, but i can't control it." so that explains it.

"i'm sorry, (y/n). i don't want to be selfish and unfair. you don't deserve this." you wanted to scream at him to stop talking but there was too much air caught up in your throat. you're not even sure if you're actually breathing because everything is just starting to hurt.

unable to move, jay just watched as tears silently fell from your eyes. he felt his heart break even more upon hearing your reply after minutes of silence. "i'm sorry too"

↷ jaeyun ; fluff

jake grew up loving and fearing love at the same time. he knew what the one emotion can do to a person, sometimes it brings out the best and sometimes the worst in people. and growing up he always wondered how can you tell or how can you say you love someone, and when he asks, he gets the same answer every time "you just know it."

jake doesn't like how vague the answer is because he needed more, how do you just 'know' it? he always grumbled about it as he grew up and his family would just laugh at him saying the usual "when the time comes..."

well now jake wanted the time to come sooner. that was his first mistake. his eagerness to just know the feeling didn't end well, instead of love, he got heartbreak.

and on the second try, he thought he knew but it was plastered on his face how fake everything was. with two failed relationships, jake finally decides to just let love come, that he shouldn't chase for it.

"duck!" jake instantly complied, thanking the heavens above that he broke out of his thoughts at the right time to avoid getting hit by a frisbee. "sorry about that, the wind suddenly came changing its direction" you apologized and offered your hand to him to help him get up.

"no worries, i didn't get hit anyways" he reassured. "but you could've" you guys shared a small laugh. "sorry again, but my name's (y/n)"

jake smiles and introduces himself as well. "i'm jake, nice to meet you" and love finally came.

love came to him in the form of teasing pats on the head from you. it came in the soft melody of your voice singing whatever song was playing on the radio. love came in comforting waves from your touch and embrace.

yet jake can't trust his own feelings, he has fooled himself too many times and he doesn't want a repeat of unfortunate events.

"baby, wake up, breakfast is almost done" he melts at the amused and loving gaze that greets him as he opens his eyes. you fixed his hair as he sat up, he gives you a small smile before you leave him to freshen up.

after a few minutes jake finally joins you at the table his eyes widening at the food you prepared. "where'd you get this omg i haven't had this in so long"

"i asked my mom to make it, i mentioned it to her and she said she knew how to make it." jake still in awe mumbles a quick thank you before digging in.

you ate happily as you watched the boy in front of you thoroughly eat. "i'll text her a quick thank you then, wait" he takes out his phone to compose his message.

your mom's reply came in not too long after "i'm glad you like it! i was actually surprised when (y/n) asked me to make it since they absolutely despise it xD poor baby couldn't take the smell when they were younger and had them puke because of it. they still carry the resentment for the dish i suppose. but let me know whenever you want to eat that again, i'd be happy to cook it for you."

jake stared as you were chewing making you freeze. "what?" you asked after swallowing. he shook his head 'nothing' in reply and continued to eat.

"you want some?" he tests pushing the dish slightly towards you. seeing if you'll mention anything about hating it.

"nope, that's all for you, don't mind me." oh.

it's so weird, because in jake's mind he always pictured his 'you just know it' moment differently. but he never imagined how freeing and scary it is when you just know, when it finally dawns on you.

to hell with the though that is was food that made him realize it, all his focus was on you, and his rapidly beating heart. jake finally knows what love is actually like.

"i love you" and everything stilled. jake didn't know how long you guys stayed in your place, but he reveled at the sight of your widened eyes and reddened cheeks. and he soars at the relieved laugh you let out and your soft but firm reply, "i love you too"

↷ sunghoon ; angst

sunghoon and you belonged in the same circle of friends, and there's always that one major rule 'don't date someone from your friend group,' but that never applied to you. in your junior year you has confessed to sunghoon about liking him, and he didn't exactly reject you nor accepted your feelings, he more or less just acknowledged it.

and you were (kind of) fine with that, it made things less awkward for you guys and your friends. what frustrates you though is that sunghoon is a master at giving mixed signals.

you can't even count in one hand the countless of nights where you wanted to pull all your hair out because of him, or the hours and hours of rants to your friends about him—to which they just helpfully rolled their eyes at your guys ridiculousness.

and that cycle continued until senior year, everytime you wanted to move on, he does something to pull you back in again, and you let him. because everything inside of you is screaming that your feelings are mutual, and that he's just not confessing because he isn't ready for a relationship, like he always says.

you doubt it, and you're the only one who does. you're the only one who doesn't see his loving gaze whenever he's in your sight, or the change in his demeanor whenever you're around, his subtle shifts in position just to be next to you .

everyone but you is so sure that sunghoon does in fact like you as well. which leads to the present situation; "are you ever going to confess to them?" he shook his head in reply, "i can't. i'm not ready"

"but what if someone new comes around and steals her away?" sunoo inquired before taking a bite of his food. sunghoon stared for a while, his eyes hardening for a split second "they're not mine in the first place anyway"

sunoo sighed, recounting back how many times they've already had this conversation. "you know we won't push you, but we're living on borrowed time hyung"

"yeah, we just don't want to see you guys hurt man" jake joins putting his arm around sunghoon's shoulder and giving it a squeeze. he sighs and nods, "i know, i know, thank you guys"

-

you guys waved at your friends before splitting off with them, you and sunghoon shared the same route home so you guys usually walk home together. you guys walked in silence, you being ahead by a little.

sunghoon stared at your form, a small smile unconsciously graces his face, "can you believe we're graduating in 2 weeks?" you suddenly asked looking back at him, making him straighten his back.

"i know right, time flies too fast" he saw your expression falter at his words. "yeah, time is a bitch, sometimes it's too slow, sometimes it's too fast" you reply turning to look forward. sunghoon quickly matches your pace so that he was next to you now.

"you're attending BE University, right?" sunghoon nodded, "yup, you?" he saw your hesitation. "HYBE Edu" you answered rubbing the back of your neck, a thing he's aware you do when you're lying. he stops in his tracks making you stop as well.

"what's wrong?" sunghoon asks when you meet his eyes, you sucked in a breath and fiddled with the strap of your bag. you always hated how sunghoon always knows when something is up. 

you look down at your shoes thinking about how you were going to start, you didn't notice that he was approaching you until his shoes entered your line of sight.

you sighed and boldly leaned your head on his chest. "i was lying" you mutter after a few seconds, sunghoon let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding, "about what?"

"i'm not going to HYBE" his hands grip your shoulders to lightly push you away so he can look at you. panic and worry fills his stomach when he spots your glassy eyes. "why?" he asks.

"i'm moving away a week after graduation to paris to study there" oh.

"you're leaving?" at your nod, sunghoon's mouth dries, his hold slacks and his arms falls back to his side. "i'm sorry i didn't tell you guys sooner" he smiles tightly and ruffles your hair.

"why are you apologizing? this is great news! i'm so happy for you!" he fakes his excitement well enough to fool you. you instantly brighten and gave him a quick hug "thank you, hoon" and he pretends, and pretends, even when he gets home.

it only hits him when he plops down onto his bed, and suddenly he's gasping for air and clawing at his chest, with tears leaving his eyes, sunoo's words ring in his mind "we're living on borrowed time"

when they're around, it's like i just lose my mind

"i'm sorry, i appreciate it really but i can't accept your confession" jungwon's heart gets heavier as he watches the expression on the person in front of him drop. he's still not used to the defeated smile they always wore when walking away.

he leans on the nearest wall as soon as the person turns the corner. jungwon hated rejecting people but he knows it's the right thing to do, that doesn't mean it doesn't make him feel bad though. after a few minutes, he lets out a sigh and went on his way to join his friends.

"yo where were you?" jay asked as he spotted jungwon approaching. jungwon gave him a look and he immediately understood and nodded his head in understanding.

"another confession?" jake asked slinging an arm around his shoulders, the sigh jungwon let out was his confirmation. "you know they shou-" the remaining words doesn't enter jungwon's mind as a certain sound caught his attention.

you laughed as your friend showed you a video from their phone while you guys were walking back to your classroom. "please send that to me oh my god" you say laughing in between still remembering the video content. unaware of the turmoil you set in someone as you passed by them.

"jungwon!" he turns wide eyed to his friends as they all stared at him in slight worry and confusion. "huh?" he asked. "you just suddenly spaced out" jungwon smiled and apologized sheepishly, luckily they didn't ask further about it.

he stole a quick glance at your retreating figure and silently groans at the way his heart beat louder with just hearing your voice and seeing your back. jungwon doesn't know why, but somehow when you're around it's like he loses his mind.

they keep stealing all the air from my lungs

jungwon's eyebrows furrowed as he read through his notes for the upcoming tests. his train of thought was interrupted by a knock on the door, his teacher promptly stood up to see who it was and air got caught in his throat upon seeing it was you.

he watched as you conversed with the teacher before both suddenly turned to look at him, making him freeze like a deer in the headlights. "jungwon" his teacher called and motioned for him to come. he hesitantly rose from his seat and walked over.

"is there something wrong?" he asks looking back and forth between you and the teacher and trying hard to not just stare. "no, no, i was just asking mr. kim if you could be excused, the student council and class representatives are having a sudden meeting"

jungwon nods in understanding he was about to go with you already but noticed that you had your things with you. seeing this, you quickly provided "you should get your things, they said it was going to be long and might eat up the whole last period"

mr. kim goes back to his seat with a final nod and jungwon hurriedly gathered his bag while you waited for him outside. his heart pounds when you smiled at him and lead the way to the council room.

he fidgets with the straps of his bag, mind running on 100 miles per hour thinking about what to do. should he start a conversation? should he just follow you in silence? or should he-

"jungwon? jungwon?" he gets out of his trance, cheeks reddening at the realization that he spaced out. "you okay?" you asked taking a step closer to him to inspect him, well now he's definitely not okay, and is definitely panicking at the proximity between you guys.

"uh, y-yeah, i'm okay, just thinking about the-, the sudden call for a meeting" he stutters, chuckling nervously. "me too!" you reply before stepping back and start walking again.

jungwon lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "usually, meetings like this can wait after all the classes, i wonder what happened" jungwon hums in agreement, still having a hard time to talk.

"well, i just hope it's nothing too serious" you say with a tight smile as you glanced at him. he swallows the lump in his throat to release a small "yeah"

reaching the room, jungwon quickly opens the door for you and you bowed slightly in thanks as you entered first. you guys both sat at the respective seats for class reps, jungwon doesn't get a chance to breathe seeing as the only seat available was behind you.

the meeting hasn't even started yet and he already couldn't focus, his attempts to calm his heart all end up in vain when you suddenly turned around and greeted him with a sheepish smile. "sorry, but do you have an extra pen? i forgot that i let my friend borrow my whole pen case"

with wide eyes, he nodded and handed you a pen. you grinned and jungwon swears all the air in his lungs has been stolen, "thank you! i'll return it once the meeting ends" poor guy could only smile in response. once you were facing away, jungwon lays his head on the desk with his arms as cushion to hide his blushing state.

dust off my clumsy words and bad pick up lines

"jungwon!" you call out when you see him walking up the stairs. said guy, freezes and watches as you jogged towards him, problem was you miscalculated your step, your eyes widen once you realized, and you hold your arms out and shut your eyes in pure instinct.

you waited for the pain of crashing to the ground to come only to find a pair of arms holding you still. opening your eyes, you meet jungwon's blown out ones.

"wow (y/n), you're falling for me now?" jungwon couldn't hold back his tongue. from all the times it stopped functioning whenever it's you he's talking to, this is the time it decided to function and be an embarrassment.

your apology goes down the drain as you snort and roll your eyes, "that was a 6 at best" you joked as he helps you to your feet. jungwon laughs and you blame your heart skipping a beat on the adrenaline from almost falling flat on your face.

"i'll do better next time then" you shook your head at his silliness, "but why were you calling for me anyways?"

"oh!" jungwon watched as you brought out a pen, his pen, out of your pockets. "i forgot to give it back yesterday, sorry" you say handing it to him. your hands brush as he takes it, both jolting at the spark that ignited caused by the rubber shoes you guys were wearing.

you guys share a laugh, "thanks for catching me though, literally" you huff and jungwon waves his hand in dismissal. "it was nothing, i'm glad i did, i don't think i'd like seeing a bruise on your pretty face" he replies nonchalantly. jungwon was now internally panicking, he was sure he was going to die of embarrassment.

you scoffed in contrast to the rising blush on your face, "me too, but thanks still" you quickly ended the conversation and waved as you walked to the opposite direction. "see you!" you were gone before he could even reply.

jungwon leans on the wall, groaning while recalling the events that preceded. similarly, you cup your cheeks as you walked to calm down the redness, ignoring the looks people gave you.

just wait and see, they're gonna notice me.

jungwon hung his head low as he remembers the confession he received that he once again had to turned down. he doesn't really know why he still receives them honestly, as far as he knows, it's already widely known that he never accepts them.

"it's because even in rejection, you're still nice" sunoo's voice enters his mind. he groans and buries his face in the book laid out in front of him, uncaring of the "shh!" the librarian sent his way. he turns his head just in time to watch you enter the library, jungwon sits up straight, regretting it immediately as black dots cloud his vision.

he cradles his head and shuts his eyes to ease the ache. he slowly opens them to the sound of things being placed on the table he was on. greeting him was your worried expression, "you okay?" not trusting his voice, jungwon raises a thumbs up in reply. you nodded unsure but let him be.

with that, you guys sat in silence, jungwon having decided a minute ago, after rereading the same lines three times, that he couldn't focus and stuck to stealing glances of you.

jungwon saw new things about you, like how you gnaw at your lower lip when you're having a hard time understanding what you're reading, and how the cutest of smiles graces your face when you finally get it.

along the way he did manage to focus on what he was studying but the small huffs of frustration you let out brought him out of it. jungwon bit the inside of his cheek before writing 'hi' on a 1/4 sheet of paper before passing it to you.

you looked at him confused before scanning the paper. he takes the lightening of your eyes as a win already. 'hello' you wrote back.

'what u doin'

'club papers'

'yikes'

'ikr'

'are u okay?'

'i am now :p' you don't regret writing that now after seeing jungwon grin widely upon reading it.

'i'm glad' you couldn't hide the snort that left your mouth, earning a mean look from the librarian

'i take it back' jungwon immaturely sticks out his tongue at you, and of course, you returned it.

'are you going home soon?'

'yup, library is about to close in a few'

'oki, i'll leave with you then'

'just say you want to spend more time with me and go' you bit your cheeks as jungwon covers his mouth with his hands

'i want to spend more time with you, let's go' you held back a smile and nod at him but refusing to meet jungwon's eyes. he started to pack his things when you did, he didn't miss you slipping the paper (with your conversation) in your bag.

"which bus do you take?" he asks once you guys exited the library, "i take the one at the stop at 7th ave" jungwon buries the excitement and replies "me too!"

you guys talked all the way to the stop, when getting on the bus, jungwon didn't hesitate to let you sit on the one free seat. you do though, quickly pull him down, by the hand, next to you, the moment the guy previously sat there stood up and left.

he stumbles slightly but shuffles a little to get comfortable. no one comments on the fact that your hands are still intertwined. and it stays like that until you had to get off.

i've never been good with words

jungwon rubbed the sweat off his palms as he walked you home, it surprised you when he got off at your stop as well but didn't say anything and just let him.

you felt like he had something to say since his been fidgety all day, it's why you were walking slower than usual, to give him more time.

jungwon took one last glance at you before letting out a big sigh. you guys stop in your tracks and pulled to the side; he avoided your questioning gaze.

"so uhm-" jungwon started before clearing his throat, "i've never been good with words" he bites back the coo that threatened to leave his mouth when you tilted your head to the side in confusion.

"or more like, i've never been good with words when it comes to you" you breathe deeply and gave a sign to continue when you saw that he was gauging your reaction.

"because everytime i'm with you it's like you're stealing all the air inside my lungs, leaving all the words stuck on my tongue. there are so many things i want to say but then you look at me a-nd, and-" he stutters when your eyes meet.

jungwon looks up, "i stutter, i lose track of everything" you slowly reached out and cup his cheek, he almost flinches at the contact. you guide his head down only to see that his eyes are shut tightly.

"look at me." you chuckle softly when he childishly shakes his head no. he eventually does when you start caressing his cheek. jungwon groans and suddenly pulls you into a hug, making you yelp lightly.

"i like you" it was muffled because his face was buried in your hair, but you heard it loud and clear. "i like you so much and i get all these feelings that i don't know and it's making me crazy, so you better take responsibility for this" jungwon rants. you didn't bother to stop your grin, especially when you're right where you can hear his heart pounding rapidly.

"okay" you answer.

jungwon stills, before pushing you away by the shoulders holding you at arm's length, "...okay?" you nodded. "meaning?" you roll your eyes affectionately "it means that i'm taking responsibility for it. it means that i like you too dumbass"

you watched as he gapes before his knees finally gave out making him crouch, covering his face, and letting out an incredulous laugh. you soon joined him to his level and pulled his hands away from his face, sighing exasperatedly when you see that his eyes are once again close.

"you have to look at me, won, what kind of a boyfriend will you be if you can't even look me?" you teased, making him groan louder, and he did look at you, or rather glared at you, it wasn't really intimidating with the pout he was sporting.

you stood up with him following. you grabbed his hand and pulled him to the direction of a cafe nearby. "let's go cutie, i'm hungry" you laughed as he grumbled "you will be the death of me"

you wink before replying "uh oh"

━ ◦ ❖ ◦━

isa ; first encounter

“sunoo!” It was too late, he already collided with you sending you both guys to the floor. “i’m so sorry i wasn’t looking where i was going! are you alright? are you okay? do you need to go to the clinic?” he rambled in panic.

you snorted and grabbed the hand he was offering and he carefully helped you get back up. “it’s okay, no worries, and i’m fine” you assured him but he still had a pure look of guilt plastered on his face. “sorry about that (y/n), i was too late in warning him” jake appeared right beside him looking apologetic as well.

you waved off their apologies as you were really fine. “ah, i’m sunoo btw, kim sunoo, i just recently transferred” you smiled at him and shook his hand. “oh so you’re the rumored transferee, i’m (y/n), (l/n) (y/n)”

sunoo’s face paled, “(y/n)?… t-the student council president?” he sputtered. jake laughed at his reaction and clapped his back. “they have the power to give detention sunoo~~” he teased.

you chuckled at the joke and gave sunoo a reassuring smile “yeah, the council's been busy lately due to some people and their friends” jake avoided your look, “that’s why i couldn’t greet you at your first day and sent one of the members instead, sorry”

“it’s okay !! jungwon was really nice and very patient with me” you nodded in satisfaction. you glanced at the clock behind him and realized you were going to be late for the meeting.

“ah i have a meeting to attend. jake tell jay to go to the student council room if you see him. it was nice meeting you sunoo! i hope we can talk more in the future” you waved goodbye and hurriedly went on with your way.

“she’s pretty” sunoo says and jake chortles “you’re not the only one who thinks so but i have to warn you already buddy, (y/n) doesn’t do romance”

“i just said she was pretty!”

“i know but i’m just warning just in case it gets deeper”

dalawa ; so it begins

“oh? student pres?” you looked up from your notes to see a pair of fox eyes staring at you. “sunoo? what are you doing here?” you facepalmed at your question. “it’s a public cafe and it’s open for everybody, that was a dumb question sorry”

sunoo look at you in amusement, “it’s okay, i understand what you were trying to say. i’m here to review actually” you perked up at his statement. “oh! would you like to join me? i’m reviewing as well”

“are you sure? i don't want to be a bother" he says sheepishly. "nonsense, i don't mind your company" he smiled widely at your statement. you went ahead and moved your stuff so he could have adequate space for his.

after seeing he has settled you got back to reviewing, sometimes pausing to have a drink or have a bite of your food. and as you were re-writing your notes you couldn't help but get distracted by the small huffs of frustration you've been hearing from sunoo.

looking up from your work you saw him sporting furrowed eyebrows and a pout as he stared intently at his notes.

"did your notes do something to you?" you joked suddenly getting his attention. he chuckled at your teasing and let out a sigh. "these are jay hyung's notes and i can't understand his handwriting" you burst out laughing but quickly clamped your mouth with your hand to not disturb the other customers of the cafe. "sorry, sorry-" you say in between laughs while attempting to calm yourself.

sunoo grins at your reaction, it's a new sight to him since he always only see the professional side of you.

"what subject is that?" you ask upon calming down. "creative writing" you nodded and rummaged through your bag and handed him your notes. "here, you can use mine instead" sunoo visibly brightens up as he grabs it from you.

"thank you so much! i promise i'll take care of them with my whole life" he says seriously making you snort. "yeah yeah, let's get back to reviewing" you say turning your attention back to your work.

comfortable silence surrounds sunoo and you until you hear him stifling. you ignored it at first but then you see him shaking from your peripherals, finally looking up you see he was heavily trying to silence his laugh and you could only stare at him in confusion.

"your- your- pfffft" you chuckle at his state, "my what?"

he pointed at your notes and it dawned on you why he was laughing. you immediately felt your face heat up in embarrassment making you cover yourself with your hands. you wanted nothing more than to be buried alive.

you had forgotten that you would add little remarks about certain points as it made you remember them better.

"i-i lost it at 'this word smells like mr. sam's breath'" sunoo says while taking deep breaths to stop himself from laughing. "i'm so sorry, i forgot i wrote those oh my god" you apologized.

"what are you apologizing for?! these are gold!" he exclaims, his statement making you falter. "your remarks are really funny student pres. definitely helps in remembering"

"oh" sunoo instantly sobered up upon seeing your reaction. "did i say something wrong?" he asked worriedly. you smile and shook your head "no, but those notes stay between us kim sunoo, don't make me abuse my student president powers" you threatened jokingly. sunoo grinned and gave you a salute in reply.

tatlo ; unknowingly it continues

and it happened again. sunoo and you had no agreement or whatsoever but somehow, wednesdays were reserved for your guys cafe study sessions. you couldn't call them dates as it wasn't really established that they were dates.

you guys had just simply silently created a schedule. it's funny because even if there's nothing to study or to review, you and sunoo would still appear in the cafe, just like right now.

"oh so you and soobin-oppa knew of each other?" he nodded and took a sip of his coffee. "he was the one who suggested i transfer to the school after hearing that i was moving here"

you understood now why soobin had messaged you saying to take care of sunoo and you had just promised him that you will at that time despite not knowing who sunoo was.

"this is off topic but i have a question" sunoo fiddled with his fingers, you gestured for him to continue. "there's been things going around about you and i'm not sure if you've heard." you raise an eyebrow at him while sipping your drink.

"and i wanted to hear from you if they're true or not. i mean i'm not pressuring you to explain or anything, it's just that i respect you, you know? and i hate that people are talking about you behind your back and i can't defend you since i don't know whether what they're saying are facts or rumors and-" you chuckled, effectively cutting off his rambling.

"it's okay sun, i understand. tell me what's been going around about me" you smiled reassuringly. sunoo runs his hand through his hair and gives you a tight smile.

"first was that you cheated on your previous relationship" your jaw clenched at his statement. "what else?" you say through gritted teeth.

"some argued saying that it was you who was cheated on and that you had publicly broken up with the guy" you sighed and roughly rubbed your face in frustration. "are there more?"

"nothing more other than there are people who are countering the rumors saying that you were never in a relationship to begin with" sunoo apologized after you let out another sigh.

"i'm sorry, (y/n). i asked them where they got it from but they couldn't give me a straight answer" you waved off his apology seeing as he never did anything wrong. in fact he did more right by asking you instead of just believing what he heard.

"the first one is false, the second one is partially true, i never broke up with him publicly" you say after seconds of tension-filled silence. sunoo let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "okay. i'm sorry you went through that, you don't deserve it"

"you're not going to ask why? or what happened?" he smiled softly and shook his head 'no' in reply. "like i said, you don't have to explain anything to me. i want you to tell me when you're ready"

you almost cried, those who knew about your previous relationship had instantly pestered you about happened, not even giving you enough time and space for it. "thanks sun, i appreciate it"

-

apat ; finally, the realization

it was a holiday, and it was wednesday. and something's been bugging you since this morning and it hadn't occurred to you until an hour past lunch. wednesdays are your meetups with sunoo, thus here you are now biting your lip anxiously as your finger waved over sunoo's contact.

you were deciding on whether or not you should ask him if he still wanted to go to the cafe despite the holiday because frankly for you it feels like your wednesday wouldn't be complete if you didn't see him.

you sighed and was about to decide not to bother him but suddenly your phone rang. you let out a small squeak in surprise and your eyes widen upon seeing that it was sunoo. you cleared your throat before answering, "hello?"

"(y/n), hi!" a smile instantly graces your face upon hearing his voice. "to what do i owe the pleasure?"

sunoo chuckles before asking "do you still want to meet up at the cafe later? around 3 maybe?" you couldn't help but blush because this was the first time he actually asked you, the previous were all unspoken.

"yes! i mean, yeah, i'd love to. i was just about to ask you actually." sunoo raised his fist up in the air in success knowing that he got to ask first.

"great! it's a date." he had never ended a call so fast in his entire life. sunoo cupped his cheeks as they warm up. he lets out a sigh and hopes that you actually heard what he said.

you did. and you've been staring at your phone gaping. "date?" you repeated into the air. you grinned and skipped all the way to your room in giddiness. "oh my fucking god what do i wear ?!" panic tore through your body.

-

"bye mom! i'll text you when i'm on my way home" you called out before closing your door. you fiddled with the hem of your dress, this is probably the first time sunoo will see you out of your uniform.

the constant clacking of your heels on the pavement somewhat calmed your nerves. you checked the time and saw it was exactly 3PM and you were about 5 steps away from the cafe so you were sure he still wasn't there.

your brain awakens at the familiar smell of coffee and freshly baked pastries. you turn to walk to your usual table and almost froze upon seeing sunoo already there, waving cutely to you.

you had also forgotten that this would also be your first time seeing him out of the uniform. and god was he stunning, the uniform absolutely does not give him enough justice.

you waved back as you walk towards him and you try to hide your shock when he pulls your seat back for you. "thank you" you say sincerely.

"i already ordered for us, i hope you don't mind" he says sheepishly. "one large-" he cuts you off by reciting your usual order perfectly. your mouth opens slightly before chuckling and nodding. "yeah, okay, thank you sun" he melts at the smile you give him.

and just like that, you guys fall to your usual pace, only this time there's much more fondness in both your eyes but unfortunately both of you are too oblivious to see it. it doesn't hit you until sunoo excuses himself to the bathroom.

he had left his phone on the table and it lit up due to a notification, you hadn't meant to see it, but his wallpaper was the picture you guys took of your shadows. you immediately excused yourself to go to the bathroom as well when he came back.

you groaned seeing the obvious blush on your face. you ran a one hand through your hair while the other fans your face so your blush would go down. your mind and heart were running miles.

it's been months since you've felt like this and it's scaring you more than it should. after a few seconds of breathing deeply, you went back to your table. upon seeing you, sunoo gets off his phone and greets you with his signature smile.

all your effort to calm your heart went down the drain.

"uhm, pres., i'm not sure if you heard me earlier but i just wanted to clarify in case you didn't, but i uh- i consider this a date." yup you were definitely blushing again.

"i mean, only if you want it to be as well? is that how this works? like i don't want to pressure you into anything so if you want this to be just like our usual hangouts that's okay but-" his hands started to flail around as he ranted so to stop him you grabbed them and it effectively does shut him down.

literally, sunoo is not functioning with the way you're gently grasping his hands, and all he could do is stare.

you realize you guys are both frozen in place due to your actions so you quickly pull away blushing.

"it's uhm, it's okay with me, i want this to be a date as well" you say after clearing your throat, you shyly glance at him to see his reaction and you weren't prepared for the soft smile on his face. "okay, yeah, that's great"

you're utterly scared, you feel like puking and running away. you've spent months resenting love because all it does is break, and burn, and end.

but the way sunoo is looking at you makes you think otherwise.

it's on wednesday, in a cafe, where you watched it begin again.

‧͙⁺˚*･✧ jungwon

"okay stand right there" your friend directed as you posed in front of your classroom's door as it was decorated for the holiday season. you got distracted by the noise at the end of the hall that you didn't see your friend signal to other students looking through the window.

the door suddenly opened but your classmate just urged you to continue with taking pictures. shrugging, you went back to smiling for the camera totally unaware of the commotion happening behind you.

you spotted jungwon through your peripherals and was about to move away so he can enter the room. "wait! wait, don't move" your friend hurriedly commanded, you gave her a confused look and gestured to jungwon who was standing awkwardly watching you guys. "jungwon join the picture! we can submit this for the year-end video"

"oh is it okay?" you were pretty sure your friend was doing this on purpose. they knew of your affection towards the said man, but at the same time the thought of getting a picture with him filled your stomach with butterflies so you didn't bother to stop them.

"okay, (y/n) align with the door frame, you too jungwon" you guys followed and proceeded to pose, "do a heart!" you blushed as jungwon did a half heart and silently invited you to complete it, which you did.

"now look up!" you and jungwon shared a puzzled look and simultaneously did so. "oh my god" you muttered. there was a mistletoe. and you were damn certain wasn't there before.

you met jungwon's wide eyed expression and before you could speak, "well would you look at that, i think we all know about the mistletoe tradition" you turned to glare at your classmates who were squealing and whooping.

"guys this could be uncomf-" you felt it on your cheeks, the spot burned. "that's our class rep!" you classmates cheered but it passed through your ears as you stared at jungwon who was rubbing his nape.

"sorry, i should've asked for your permission first" you broke from your trance thus feeling the major blush on your face. "no, uh uhm, it's okay, i don't mind" you said loud enough for him to hear. he grinned at your reply.

"don't lose to him vice rep!" they egged you on making you roll your eyes as you gave them a look and they shut up immediately making you chuckle. turning your attention back to jungwon,

you gave him a quick peck on the cheek just like he did to you. resulting in to the class going wild again. you smirked as he turned the same shade of red of santa's coat.

‧͙⁺˚*･✧ heeseung

you grinned as you heard the bell rang through your unit. "you're late" you greeted opening the door. he chuckled and leaned to kiss you on the forehead, "sorry, i saw something that i've been meaning to buy on the way so i got held up slightly there"

"what is it?" you asked letting him in and closing the door. "i'll show you later" he winked. you roll your eyes at him and followed him to the kitchen. "you started decorating already?" he asked eyeing the boxes of christmas decor scattered in your living room.

you hummed in reply while preparing the food he brought for you guys to eat. "yeah, i need your help with some of them by the way, i don't have your height" heeseung laughed but nodded nonetheless.

-

"heeseung!" you shrieked as he played around while you were on his shoulder trying to stick decor on the ceiling. you hit the top of his head lightly in revenge. "if i fall i will cut your ankles"

"don't worry, i'll always catch you whenever you fall" your loud groan only made him laugh harder making him put you down slowly to the ground because he couldn't hold you properly anymore.

"you think you're so smooth huh?" you say as he stands back up and wraps his arms around your waist. he chuckled and nodded cutely, you couldn't hold the smile that formed on your face at your boyfriend's adorableness.

"you don't have to hide it, i know it gave you butterflies" you leaned your head on his chest sighing loudly. "sure baby, whatever makes you happy" you didn't notice one of his arms raising above you guys.

lifting your head to look at him again and confused about his raised arm, your gaze went straight up. you chuckled upon seeing what he was holding.

"really?" you asked ridiculously. heeseung grinned innocently. "oh? a mistletoe? huh, where's my kiss then?" you burst out laughing at his antics, "i'm waiting~"

"come on, it's tra-" you shut him up with the kiss he was asking for. "if you wanted a kiss you could've just asked or done so without the mistletoe" you stated pulling away.

"but it's christmas!" he reasons as he pecked your lips again.

‧͙⁺˚*･✧ jongseong

"jay come help me with these!" his mom called from the door. he hurriedly went over and took the dishes your mom was holding and you naturally followed him to the dining to place the food on the table.

you guys were pretty much used to this routine as your families have always celebrated christmas together, this of course means that you and jay have known each other since before you guys could even talk.

"i'll put this in the fridge" you called already walking to the kitchen, and no one paid mind, jay's home was basically your home too.

"ohhh, you made cheesecake?" you knew jay followed you so you didn't mind checking if he was actually there. "yeah, i remembered you saying that you wanted to eat some recently" you grinned closing the fridge.

"thanks, let's eat already so i can have dessert already" he chuckled at your statement and walked straight to sit at the spot next to you, as always. your families interacted happily all throughout dinner.

you clapped excitedly as jay placed your slice of cheesecake on your plate, you were too busy enjoying the dessert that you didn't notice the absolutely fondness on his face as he watched you eat.

your families however didn't miss it. they shared knowing looks and held in their laughs. "this is so good! you should make them more often"

"i'll try different types of cheesecake" you instantly agreed with the idea "i'm willing to be the taste tester, i'll be brutally honest" he scoffed at your statement and you stuck your tongue out at him "when have you never been brutally honest with me" you teased him by giving him an innocent smile.

with the adults now leaving the dining table and onto the living room. you and jay did what you guys have always done, stand off in the corner and watch them interact and talk about whatever.

"that reminds me, i forgot your gift at home, i'll give it tomorrow, sorry" you apologized and jay nodded understandingly. "that's okay, i'll just give yours tomorrow then."

"eh?" you looked at him incredulously, "i thought the cheesecake was my gift?" he shooked his head 'no' in reply, sipping the wine your parents gave you guys.

"as if i'd-"

"guys~" he gets cut off by his mom's call, you guys turn to her direction and see all of them looking at you both. "look up"

"oh" you guys uttered at the same time, your eyes meet and both quickly looked away. you groaned upon seeing the cameras and phones pointed at the two of you.

"you guys want us to kiss so bad?" you weren't ready for the unanimous 'yes' that rang around the room.

you facepalmed to hide the blush on your cheeks. "let's just get this over with" you looked over at jay to see his ears turning red. "we don't have to if you're not okay with it and-"

"it's okay with me" your mouth shut immediately. you nodded and watched as he leaned in, his arm circling your waist. he paused as he was a breath away, asking again for your permission and with your small nod, he crashed his lips onto yours. the cheers from your families went on deaf ears as you kissed him back.

"okay! save the making out for somewhere else" you pulled away and hid your face on jay's chest, feeling it vibrate as he laughed. "mom!" you whined while jay wrapped his arms around you.

‧͙⁺˚*･✧ jaeyun

"so 24th you're spending it with us then 25th i'm spending it with you and your family?" you clarified plopping down on the sofa next to jake.

"yup, mom's actually preparing so much, she said she hasn't seen you in forever, i think she misses you more than me" he pouts and you chuckle pecking the tip of his nose.

"sucks to be you i guess" you burst out laughing at his shocked expression. "i'm kidding mwah love you"

"if it makes you feel any better, mom has been bugging me about what should she cook for you and hasn't even asked me what i wanted" jake grins widely and giggles. "tell her i'll eat anything she cooks" "that's exactly what i said to her!"

your conversation was cut short upon hearing rustling behind you guys, looking back you saw layla playing around with the christmas decoration that you and jake were yet to put up.

"layla, those balls aren't for fetching!" jake scolded and got up to stop her from playing with them but once she saw her father approaching she immediately bolted.

jake had no choice but to chase her around, and you helped by recording the pair.

you decided to put the balls away from layla's reach and accepted the fact that you lost one christmas ball to her. you laughed as jake plopped down next to you.

he had given up on retrieving the ball and watched as said dog laid on her bed and played with it. you cuddled to his side and resorted to watching whatever show was on the tv instead.

you were about to fall asleep with jake playing with your hair when layla approached you guys with something in her mouth. "what's in your mouth layla?" you asked and all she did was turn her head to the side.

"layla, drop" she immediately followed and you guys inspected what it was. after a few seconds you finally recognized it. "oh my god" you say laughing.

"what! what is it?" jake asked in confusion. "it's a mistletoe!" recognition finally dawned on jake. you went down to layla's level and showered her with pets and kisses. which she happily accepted.

you turned your attention back to jake who was now pouting in his place. "what?"

"what about me?" you huffed and smiled at him "come here you big baby" you say holding your arms out, he surprises you by pulling you to him and smashing his lips on yours.

"can't believe you kissed layla first before me" he grumbled as he pulled away. you rolled your eyes at his reply, "as if you wouldn't do the same" jake only grins widely in reply.

‧͙⁺˚*･✧ sunghoon

you smacked sunghoon in the arm as he uttered another teasing remark, "park sunghoon i swear to god i will throw coal at you on christmas day" you threatened, to which he only laughed at.

"you'll probably miss and end up throwing it a stranger" you sighed loudly and dropped your head in defeat. sunghoon enjoyed teasing you too much.

"keep up with the teasing and i'll think you have a crush on me" you smirked as he choked on his drink. "serves you right" you follow, completely accepting the tiny glare he sent you. "how could you possibly think that?"

"my parents used to say that when a boy teases you a lot it's because they like you" he snorted at the reasoning and was quick to disagree on the statement. your attention was stolen by the sudden squeals and whoops in the distance.

you craned your neck to see two people kissing around a crowd. you shook your head in the ridiculousness of the situation but paid no mind to it.

that's parties for you. you still didn't know why sunghoon and you had decided to attend when both of you would much rather prefer a calmer crowd.

"they're still not stopping" sunghoon commented upon seeing that the pair were indeed still in a deep makeout session.

"you'd probably have to physically pry them of each other for them to stop" a yell from your side made you turn to see a drinking contest on-going.

you saw a friend of yours wave to you and gestured for you to join but you politely declined and quickly ushered hoon to a different place in case they persisted.

"why didn't you join? i don't mind" he asks. "i still care about my liver thank you very much, plus i'm not really in a drinking mood" you shrugged.

"how about you? i saw some of your other friends? i don't mind too if you want to join them"

"nah, i know for sure they'd involve me in something and next thing i know i wake up in one of their houses with a massive headache" you laughed at his statement but decided not to push him any farther.

"okay if yo-" a mass of people suddenly gathered around you guys, one was holding a fishing rod with the line dangling in between above you guys. you looked up and easily spotted the mistletoe dangling on the hook.

"kiss! kiss! kiss!" the people chanted and you could only stare at sunghoon with a "what do we do?" look.

the noise and the suffocation was starting to irritate you and before you could even speak, you felt hands cup both sides of your face and something soft on your lips.

cheers and hollers rang through the place as they left to find more victims and you stared wide-eyed at sunghoon as he pulled away.

"sorry, i saw you were starting to get mad and decided to just do what they wanted so they would leave quickly. i won't do it again" you were still in disbelief and just nodded.

awkward tension filled the air as both of you guys fidgeted around each other. after a few minutes of silence and fixing your composure, "so uhm" you cleared your throat.

"you said you won't do it again,, is that your final answer?" you asked looking anywhere but him.

sunghoon started coughing at your question and that's when you decided to finally look at him. you saw the blush he was sporting, "uhm, yes? unless you... want me to do it again?" your face felt hotter than before.

"if i do?" you hear his breath hitch.

"then.." he moves closer to you, not breaking eye contact. "then i'd do it again" he says firmly. sunghoon hesitantly wrapped his arms around your waist, with no objection from you, his hold remained.

"... can i?" he whispers and you feel his breath on your lips. "yes"

this time you had the chance to kiss him back.

‧͙⁺˚*･✧ sunoo

sunoo laughed adorably as you messed with his hair by putting and removing various hair accessories on him. he continued rummaging through the box on his lap and handing you more clips to put on his hair.

after finishing, he let out a loud laugh upon seeing himself in the mirror. you were quick to get your phone and capture of photos of him.

he pouted slightly and snatched the device from you and proceeded to take pictures too but this time with you in it.

"we look ridiculous" he giggles swiping through your gallery. "that's the point!" you reply removing the clips that he put on you.

you scooched over to him and carefully removed the ones on him now, making sure not to pull since his hair had become more fragile after numerous bleaching session.

sunoo sighed in content with your actions. "i love it when you play with my hair, but it does make me sleepy most of the time" you chuckle in response and gave him a little pat after removing the last piece of accessory.

he ran a hand through his hair and kissed you cutely on the nose.

"thank you, (y/n)~" you grinned at the affection. you picked up the box from the ground to return to it's original place but not before pecking him on the cheeks.

sunoo continued to look around your vanity and spotted your headband collection, a specific bright red one caught his attention.

grabbing it, he eyed the piece trying to recognize what the long stem was for and what was dangling on its end.

his jaw dropped upon realizing what it was. he turned to look at you to see your back was turned, sunoo quickly walked up behind you and placed the headband on you.

"what did you-" you let out a small squeak upon feeling your boyfriend's lips on you, sunoo pulled away giggling. seeing the garment, you let out a loud laugh.

"you're such a dork!" you say fondly, to which he only shrugged and smiled cutely in response.

you roll your eyes and removed the headband and put it on him. you gave him a quick peck on the lips and was about to move away but you finally noticed that he had his arms around you.

"you're not going to let me go?" he shook his head no in reply and pursed his lips. "there's still a mistletoe between us, so that means you still need to give me a kiss" you snorted but heeded to his request anyway.

‧͙⁺˚*･✧ ni-ki

"riki! let's take a picture there!" you pointed at the decorated arch near the large christmas tree. you were already pulling the boy towards the spot before he could even reply and was already asking someone to take the picture.

you pulled your grumbling bestfriend next to you and he had no choice but to follow you in posing for the camera. you bowed to the person who took the picture and grinned at riki.

"i was about to get bungeoppang" he pouted. you rolled your eyes and linked your arm with his. "i'll get you as many as you want after we take pictures" riki grinned widely at your statement.

"c'mon then! let's go there to that walk under the lights thingy" you shook your head at his sudden change in mood.

"i have to send them to your mom anyways, i promised" he ignored what you said and posed dramatically under the dangling christmas lights.

you laughed as you took his pictures, you were pretty sure most of them were blurry because of your laughter.

"you suck at this, let me do it" he took your phone from your handss and pushed you lightly to his front so he could take pictures of you. and of course, you did the same thing as well and posed just as dramatic as he did.

you both share a laugh as you viewed each others photos.

"excuse me..." you both look up at the same time to see a woman probably in her mid thirties. "would you like me to take a picture of you guys together?" you smiled widely at her and nodded.

"yes, thank you!" she gently took the phone as you handed it to her and pointed it at you guys.

riki draped an arm around your shoulder while you wrap an arm around his waist. "1,2,3, cheese!" you just knew ni-ki had put up a peace sign behind your head.

"let me take another one" and while you were busy fixing your shirt upon noticing it getting crinkled. ni-ki's attention was on the woman who was pointing something up his head, following her finger, he saw the mistletoe dangling exactly right on top of you guys.

the woman winked at ni-ki as he looked back to her. "okay, another picture" you say fixing your position. ni-ki quickly thought of what to do with the piece of information he just acquired.

"1,2,3..." your eyes widen and mouth drops slightly as you felt a kiss on your cheek. and the camera snaps.

"here you go! merry christmas!" she walked away before you could even thank her. you turned back to ni-ki who was whistling away and looking everywhere but you.

"riki... what was that?" he only pointed up and there you saw why he did what he did.

"sorry, the woman pointed it out and i didn't know what to do and acted impulsively" you waved it off and assured him that it was okay.

"can i see the pic though?" it dawned on you that you haven't even checked the picture. you both leaned in closer to the phone, "... we look cute" he mutters staring at the perfectly captured picture of when he kissed you.

"yeah" you reply before pecking his cheek lightly. you wished you caught his reaction on tape. "now we're even"

first; eyes on me

"jake! congratulations" you squealed jumping into his open arms. "i told you we would win" he replied smugly making you laugh. he smiles upon seeing that you wore his jersey, just like he asked.

"it looks good on you. in my opinion i knew we were going to win the moment i saw you with his on" he says playing with the hem of the shirt looking directly at you.

you fluster under his gaze, "you better stop jake sim, i might fall for you" you warned playfully. jake smirks and leans his forehead on yours. "and what about it?" he whispers and you feel his breath on your lips.

"that's not part of the agreement, jake" he huffs lightly but presses his lips onto yours. "maybe i should change that" he says upon pulling away. "maybe you should" you replied pecking him on the lips again before walking away.

"yah!" he called out. "let's celebrate your win mvp" you smiled as you felt him hurriedly following you.

second; eyes on them

the frown on your face grew bigger as you watch jake's attention get caught away by someone walking by. "sorry, what was that?" he asks.

"here's the sweater you lent me the other day" you say handing him the piece of clothing. "eh? this is the first time you're returning something of mine" he chuckles confusedly.

"i'll return the rest tomorrow, don't worry" you reply with a tight smile. you see his head cock to the side before you start to walk away. "hey wait, (y/n), is something wrong?" your heart lurches at the genuine worry in his eyes.

you sighed and shook your head, "sorry, just a little tired, i guess?" he smiles and proceeds to wrap the sweater you just returned to him around your shoulders.

"don't push yourself too much, 'kay? i'll drive you home later." you nodded staring at him as he grabs your hand. "come on, i'll walk you to your class"

you knew this was wrong. it was fun at first. but you really should've listened to the voice in your head when it said that you shouldn't mix yourself up with one jake sim.

and it sucks now because right when you're starting to develop feelings for him, it's when someone else comes that you know can fully steal him away from you. and you're not ready for that.

third; happy with me

"jake! stop!" you exclaim running away from him. "nu uh come here!" you squeal as he catches you and tickles your sides. "stop!" you say laughing.

"say you're sorry" he stops and raises his eyebrow at you. "no <3" you reply escaping his hold and sticking your tongue out at him as you lock yourself in the bathroom. "yah! that's unfair"

"all is fair in love and war baby!" you reply laughing. "come out of there" he whines knocking on the door.

"i will if you promise not to tickle me anymore"

"i promise"

"sounds fake" you hear him burst out laughing. you opened the door slightly and peeked out. jake smiles and puts on his best innocent look. "i swear i won't tickle you anymore"

you narrow your eyes at him and slowly step out of the bathroom. he smirks and quickly throws you over his shoulder. "jake sim!" he lets out an evil laugh and plops you down on the couch and drops his whole being on you making you groan at the sudden weight.

after a few wriggling around, you finally managed to move you guys into a more comfortable position. you ran your hand through his hair and back as he buries his face in the crook of your neck.

jake fell asleep quickly, his hold on you tightening. and it's moments like this where you don't regret ever making that stupid agreement with him, but it's also moments like this where your heart hurts the most.

and you just wish you could stay like this forever. but you know that's impossible. this started just to fill in the void in both of you guys, nothing more, nothing less.

it pains you that once this is over, you're just left with a much bigger void than ever before.

fourth; happy with them

"isn't that jake?" you turned your head to the the direction your friend pointed, and they were right, it was indeed jake. "yeah" you nodded and went back to searching through the clothes rack in front of you. "who's that he's with?"

"sunoo, kim sunoo, he's in my class" you answer.

"oh! i've been hearing stuff about him, everyone's been saying how he's basically sunshine incarnate" you chuckled and nodded in agreement. "he is, he's really nice and kind and fun to talk too"

"but don't they seem a little bit too close?" your gaze went back to them and again, they were right. you watched as jake laughed swinging his arm around sunoo's shoulder and giving him his signature smile. "yeah they do" you answered softly.

"you don't have a problem with it?"

"no? why would i?"

"don't you guys have something going on?" you huffed and shook your head 'no'

"we don't, i told you it's just all fun and games between us, no strings or feelings attached" you could hear the laugh they shared from your position and it made you want to vomit. you quickly removed your gaze on them once you saw jake offering his sweater to sunoo.

"well, as long as you're fine with it, i guess? but they look cute though" you smiled and nodded. that's all you can do really, smile and nod, and pretend that you're okay with it.

you couldn't blame jake, sunoo captured everyone's hearts and attention left and right. even yours too. as much as you wanted to hate him, you can't, it's literally impossible to hate kim sunoo. especially once you got a taste of his kindness. still, it left a bitter taste in your mouth.

fifth; wish i were

"let's end whatever agreement we have, jake" you say breaking the silence. he immediately got up from his position on your lap, you avoided his gaze. "what?" jake asks softly.

"i can't do this anymore, i'm sorry" you stared at your hands on your lap, and you saw him get down on his knees in front of you and clasped your hands together with his. he stared directly at your eyes and you couldn't stop the tears forming in them.

"what's happening? why? talk to me." your tears fell on your hands and jake just waited and allowed you to let it all out. "i don't think i can keep up with whatever this is without breaking my heart into pieces" he was about to cup your face but you turned your head away and wiped your own tears.

"i have feelings for you, jake" he froze at your statement. "and they're unhealthily getting deeper"

"i don't want to continue this because it's not good for the both of us" you stood up and proceeded to walk to the door. "no, (y/n), wait" his grip on your hand tightening.

you gave him a soft smile and slowly pried his hand off you. "it's okay, jake. i see the way you look at him. you like him better, and i'm okay with that." you chuckled pitifully before kissing him on the forehead for the last time.

"i guess this is me letting you go somewhat? you don't have to worry about me. i'll be happy seeing you be happy with him. 'kay?" you continued to your path to the door with jake slowly following you.

"bye jake, see you around" your body kept getting heavier with every step you took exiting his place. you covered your mouth as you choked down a sob, and just when you were about to fall to your knees, you felt a body wrap around you from behind.

"don't. don't leave without hearing me out first"

"i already know. i wanted to save myself from hearing it all out loud" you croaked trying to break free from his hold.

"it's you, it's always been you, there was never any other options" your hands fell to your sides, jake took this opportunity to turn you around to face him.

he kissed your tears away and leaned his forehead against yours. "i'm sorry it took me so long and that i made you feel this way."

"i choose you, (y/n)."
