Give Us A Smile

“Chan, what are you doing?” You asked skeptically, squinting at your boyfriend who had begun to take off his shirt rather patronisingly

“What?” He asked, smiling innocently “It’s hot in here,”

“Well take off your shirt normally then,” You deadpanned

Chan smirked and finished stripping himself of his top, looking at you with the eyes of someone that knew full well what they were doing. Ignoring your death stare and choosing, instead, to focus on the red building up on your ears, he walked up to you and wrapped his arms around you.

“Chan,” You squinted up at him, only to earn a smile in return

“Come on Y/N, just admit you like seeing me shirtless,” he kissed you shortly on the lips “Your ears are red, anyhow,”

“Someone’s cocky today,” You raised an eyebrow, trying to ignore his comment on your ears

“This is your fault,” He stated quickly and matter-of-factly “You raise my self-esteem too much,”

You laugh, almost snorting

“Well I’m glad I do,” you shrugged and finally looked down to your boyfriend’s abs “You do look very good shirtless,”

You looked back up just in time to catch his red ears before he buried his face into your shoulder.

“You’re not allowed to do that,” he whined

“What? I’m not allowed to compliment my hot boyfriend?”

“You’re not allowed to purposely fluster your boyfriend when he’s trying to be hot!”

“Hey, I gotta tell the truth, don’t I?”

“Hey,” You heard an unfamiliar voice from behind you over the loud club music blasting into your ears

You whipped your head around to be met with a rather handsome, young-looking man holding a drink. It was hard to make out his features, but his presumably flushed face and slightly droopy eyes indicated that he was drunk.

“To who do I owe the pleasure of speaking to?” You asked sarcastically, turning your body to fully face the man

“Everyone calls me Chan, but just because you’re so pretty, I’ll tell you, my real name is Chris”

“Chris, eh? I think I’ll stick with Chan,”

“Fine with me, it’s more playful I guess,” He winked at you, but it was a silly, drunken wink, and to say you didn’t find it cute would be a lie “What about your name?”

“Y/N,” You replied shortly, and Chan smiled charmingly at you

“A beautiful name for a beautiful person,”

You chuckled, feeling your cheeks get slightly hotter, though, it’s not like they weren’t already hot in the sweaty, body-filled air of the club.

“It’s hot in here,” You commented, looking out across the large room full of people

“Oh, sorry, did you want me to leave?” He asked cockily, flashing that same charming smile yet again

You rolled your eyes, breathing out a laugh at the same time.

“Actually, I was planning to leave right before I stumbled into you, and I couldn’t help but stop to speak to someone so good-looking, but you did look kinda bored,” He said, speaking quite non-threateningly “My friends and I are about to leave, wanna come with us?”

You stuffed your hand into your pocket and grabbed hold of the pepper spray in there before agreeing to go with him. Chan didn’t look threatening, but you could really never be too careful.

As it turns out, the group of friends Chan talked about were all complete dorks. Hours past by, and you’d decided that you’d laughed more than you ever had before in those few hours. Something, however, just drew you to Chan. Maybe it was how he acted increasingly childish the more he drank, or maybe it was his cheesy pick-up lines, or maybe it was how he looked at you, but you noticed that you started to blush more and more often as the night went on.

[13:29]

You pursed your lips and looked around at the trees and houses surrounding you, beautiful as always, but your mind was elsewhere. It had happened three days ago now. You had met Hwang Hyunjin. He said he’d be back, but you hadn’t seen him since, and you were beginning to doubt his words, even though it hadn’t even been that long.

“There you are,” Hyunjin’s familiar voice rang from behind you

You swiveled around, a large smile on your face, being met with an equally smiley Hyunjin

“Hello!” You tried to keep your voice under control

“I told you I’d come back,” He walked up to you “Don’t tell me you doubted me?”

“Of course not,” You said, chuckling at his almost whiney voice

“your laugh is really cute,” He said absent-mindedly, gazing at you

“W-what?!”

“I- I mean- nothing! I uh- uhm I was just- I wanted to ask if you could show me around this place!” He shook his head to hopefully try and get rid of the blush that was building on his cheeks

“Of course I will,” You spoke slowly, still trying to recover from the abrupt compliment that most handsome boy you had ever seen had just given to you

The hours passed by far too quickly for your liking, and soon, after you two had explored far beyond just the neighbourhood, it was getting dark,

“I should start heading back now, Woojin will probably start getting worried,” He paused, blinking once before continuing “I should take you to meet the rest of Stray Kids,”

Your eyes widened and your heart stopped- but somehow, it started beating at least 10,000x faster than normal with his next sentence.

“But then I won’t have you all to myself,” He pouted

You bit your lip, still having trouble trying not to scream

“Don’t worry Hyunjin, you’re the only one for me,” You managed to say with a steady voice “Now go home while there’s still some light! Can’t have you getting lost”

You breathed in happily as a light breeze sailed past you. After all these years, you really couldn’t believe you were back in Japan. You smiled softly as you turned your head, taking in the surroundings of the beautifully styled houses and the peaceful trees coloured all different shades of orange and yellow.

Out of nowhere, you heard a group of loud voices. You almost became annoyed, but you quickly silenced your thoughts when you properly listened to the voices. The group was speaking Korean, and they sounded eerily familiar. You pursed your lips, straining your ears, but it sounded as though they were saying goodbye to each other, and then the voices became quieter, and you were left with silence, until you heard soft footsteps coming your way. Your breath positively stopped when you turned the corner and were met with none other than Hwang Hyunjin.

“holy shit,” You muttered under your breath

“Uh- hello,” He smiled at you, speaking in English with a cutely heavy accent

You were at a loss for words. You almost started speaking Japanese before remembering that you could also speak Korean and English.

“H-hello,” You spoke, reverting to Korean

He looked surprised before breaking out into a big smile

“You look shaken,” He said, speaking Korean

“I- it’s just that I’m a gay- I mean stay!”

“Are you?” He smiled brightly, completely missing the fact that you unintentionally referenced Chan’s live

You purse your lips to refrain from screaming. His smile was the most beautiful thing you’d ever seen, and you wanted nothing more than to hug him and squish his cheeks.

“Uhm- I- yeah-” You tried to compose yourself, managing a smile to Hyunjin in return

“Are you staying around here?” He asked, and you nodded “This area is so nice! I’ll definitely be coming back”

“Really?!” You asked, being slightly overexcited

“Yeah, I should see you around. I can see my dashing good looks have rendered you incapable of speaking, so maybe I should give you some time?”

“Well,” You said, seeing your opportunity and suddenly becoming rather bold “to be fair, you are really good looking,”

“H-hey!” His ears tinged red “You’re not supposed to agree! That’s-”

“I should be going now! See you around, Hyunjin!” You skipped off, waving a goodbye to the blushing boy before turning around and internally screaming at the fact that you just flirted with your favourite kpop idol

“woah...” Hyunjin watched you leave in amazement, trying to keep his blush under control “they were really pretty”

You rubbed your eyes roughly, slowly making your way to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. After what felt like a long walk in the morning darkness, you finally get there and begin to fill up a cup. Too lost in your thoughts and tiredness to notice anything, you didn’t hear someone walking up behind you, and, before you could react, you felt large, warm arms wrap around your waist. You jumped, almost dropping your glass, turning around to find your husband, Bang Chan, chuckling tiredly at your frightened expression.

“You better watch it,” You said, raising an eyebrow at him “Next time I might elbow you,”

“I wasn’t trying to scare you” he shrugged, smirking slightly

You shook your head, but before you could say anything else, Chan turned you around so you were facing the sink again and, once again, wrapped his arms tightly around your waist, rubbing his nose into the back of your neck. You smiled softly and finished filling up the cup, gulping down the water.

“Chan, come on, we need to go back upstairs now,” You said, trying to walk away from your husband’s embrace

“mmmm nooooo,” He whined in protest, kissing your neck softly

Han Jisung lay tiredly on your guys’ couch, head backwards, eyes closed. Despite how soft his breathing was, it could be heard throughout the otherwise completely silent room.

“Tired?” You stood in the entrance to the living room, speaking softly

Jisung cracked open his eyes and lifted up his head, his lips in a cute, natural pout.

“Yeah..” He said softly before going to rub his eyes, trying to wake himself up more

“It’s ok, baby,” You walked up to Jisung and grabbed his hand, stopping him from rubbing his eyes “You can sleep,”

“But-” He started speaking, only to cut himself of when he felt you gently grabbing the bottom of his shirt and beginning to lift it up “Y/N...I’m too tired...”

“Too tired for what?” You asked curiously but softly, not stopping your actions

“For-” He looked away bashfully, lowering his voice even further “-for sex”

You blinked once before it hit you

“Oh!” you laughed slightly, only just realising how suggestive what you were doing must have been “Don’t worry Sungie, I wasn’t going to do that,”

He paused for a moment, wondering what else you could have been trying to do. Without asking any further questions, he lifted his arms up, allowing you to take off his shirt with ease. You smiled and pulled the plain black tee over his head, exposing your boyfriend’s torso. 

Jisung looked like he was about to ask what you were doing, but before he could, you cupped his face between both of your hands and kissed him on the lips. It was a light kiss, almost feathery, but the sheer romanticism and love it held left Jisung almost breathless. You moved from his lips to his nose, to his forehead, to his cheeks, to his hair, only pulling away after you were sure you had kissed every part of Jisung’s head you could reach.

“Y/N...” He whimpered, looking up to you with his tired eyes “...more...”

You breathed out a laugh, moving your hands from his cheeks to his bare chest. His mouth parted slightly when you moved down to kiss his neck, kissing in the same way you were before. You moved your lips down from his neck to his collar bones, then to his chest, moving your hands once again, this time to hold his forearms that were resting on the couch. At first, Jisung’s breathing became heavy at your actions, but he quickly got used to the feeling, and, instead of making him embarressed, it made him warm beyond believe. Jisung was pretty sure he had never felt this loved ever before in his life.

“I love you,” He said faintly, gulping

You pulled away once again, finally satisfied.

“I love you too” You whispered, kissing his lips once more, but longer this time

Jisung whined when you leaned out of the kiss.

“Shhhh, pretty boys should get their beauty sleep,” You smiled softly, putting your hands to his eyes and watching them flutter shut before slowly opening again

“That’s...” He blushed, refusing to meet your gaze “...okay,”

Bang Chan softly cupped the side of your cheek, contrasting the rough way he pressed his lips onto yours. The boy breathed a sigh of relief when he felt you begin to kiss back. ‘This is wrong’ you and Chan kept telling yourselves, yet, neither of you even made an effort to back away. You were right; it was wrong. Just two innocent kids, two perfect, over-achieving private schoolers, strict parents, straight A’s, job oppurtunities, money, connections, you two had it all. Seperately. Who knows how others might have reacted if they found out about what was happening then. 

No one ever did find out, though.

As the years went by and you and Chan got jobs, graduated, and took over your guys’ family companies, the two of you grew apart; but, then again, were you ever really together? 

You took a deep breath in and shut your eyes, letting a single tear roll down the side of your cheek before sighing heavily. Were you really this pathetic? It had been weeks since he had moved to Korea and you still weren’t over this stupid fucking crush.

“This really sucks,” you laughed bitterly to yourself, beginning feeling a headache rise “Mark fucking Lee”

That damn near perfect boy with his adorable, dorky laugh, his endearingly funny personality, his clumsiness, his talents. It almost seemed unfair- no, it was unfair. 

You had decided to confess your feelings for him the day before he left for Korea. What a stupid decision that had been. He flat out rejected you, going on about how he didn’t want to hurt you- becoming an idol was risky business, plus there would be the long-distance as well. Mark knew you didn’t believe him, he knew you thought he was just making excuses, and fuck it hurt. You’ll never know how desperately he wanted to wrap you in his arms and kiss you, or how desperately he wanted to tell you he felt exactly the same way. 

Seungmin lay on top of you, the pair of you peacefully lying on your guys’ bed. He whined slightly as he adjusted himself, squeezing his eyes as if just having awoken from a nap. You chuckled at how cute he was and brought your hands up to his head, beginning to run your fingers through his soft hair.

“Mmm,” he sighed, burying his face into your collar bone and breathing out

“You’re so cute, Minnie,” you smiled, tracing along his jawline with your right hand and caressing the side of his face while your left hand stayed up in his hair

“I know,” he said tiredly, yawning shortly after

You walked up to your couch where boyfriend!Hyunjin sat half asleep, his overly fluffy hair covering his face. You smiled softly and gently brushed his hair to the side with your fingertips. Hyunjin cracked open his eyes slightly, tiredly smiling at you before wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you into his lap. 

“I need to change first” You muttered, trying to push away from your boyfriend, who was already in his pajamas

He shook his head ‘no’ before putting his hand behind your head and bringing it to his shoulder. You chuckled before giving up on trying to get away and, instead, wrapped your arms around Hyunjin in return, burying your head deeper into his grey hoodie and inhaling his scent.

“It’s so easy to make you stay” He giggled, tightening his hug on you

“It’s only because I love you so much” you replied, speaking softly

“Mmm love you too” He breathed, slurring his words drowsily

Your soft laughter could be heard from outside the bedroom as you giggled at your computer, eyes glued to the screen as your headphones sat apon your head, a cup of tea stable in your grasp.

Seungmin sighs as he waddles over from the doorframe, deciding he wanted, no, needed attention. He sits beside you on the soft bedsheets, an attempt to grab your attention away from the show you were currently watching. Another sigh, and he is soon leaning his cheek on your shoulder, peering down at the screen infront of you.

Pokémon. Damn those cute little beasts.

The hot tea that was in your hands was his next target, moving it from your grasp; not missing the pout that adorned your face as he did so, a cheeky grin on his face as he places it on the sturdy table beside the bed, reaching over you in the process.

By now, you had paused your show, looking uo at your boyfriend as he gazed down at you, moving your laptop slowly away from your grasp, and before you could realise it, your device was now on the other sode of the bed, leaving all your attention on Seungmin.

Your pout was prominent, no tea and no show. How dare he.

As you opened your mouth to speak, he quickly lay down beside you, his body pressed up against yours as he cuddled into your side, his head weaseling under your arm so he could rest his head on the side of your chest, his long arms stretching out and reaching for your computer as he brought it back infront of you both, taking your headphones out of the device as he curls into you, his soft hair tickling the skin on your arm, but you cant bring yourself to move, the pout turning from shock; to comfort; to a loving glance. Feeling eyes on him, Seungmin looked up at you to only smile widely at you immediately, making your heart warm. You reached for your tea as you curled into him as well, both of you comfortable as he pressed play, watching pokémon together as the steam slowly rose off your tea.
