Pairing: Lee Jeno x female reader

You had just reached out for the pair of cleaning gloves on the rack above the sink when a hand shot out and collected them from your outstretched grasp. Turning with surprise to your boyfriend, Jeno, he chuckled softly at your expression.

“You cooked dinner.”

“I don’t mind doing the dishes too,” you replied, reaching out for the gloves. He used his height to his advantage and lifted them out of your reach. “Jeno!”

“I can do them,” he asserted, sliding them onto his hands and reaching around you into the sink.

For some reason, you chose not to move when he turned the water on and grabbed the detergent. With a small smile directed at you, he then stepped in closer, his chest now in line with yours, and he curled around you whilst reaching for the first plate to wash.

You giggled. “This is absurd.”

“Actually, I don’t mind it.”

“Only because you’re large enough to reach for everything, even with me awkwardly in the way.”

Jeno hummed a response as you had the urge to snuggle into him. He didn’t seem rattled by your decision, even lowering his head to your shoulder as he scrubbed something behind you.

“Now this could be seen as absurd,” he admitted, and you sighed, going to move away before he tutted you. “But I like it. Keeping you close and getting the dinner chores completed isn’t so bad with good hugs like these.”

Listen, that last pose with him reading whilst Boyoung is laying there smiling had me cursing and ready to angrily write out a scenario. How dare he tease us like this? The audacity.

Jinyoung dressed so casually and comfy always is a blessing for the eyes. Anything domestic looking with him is annoyingly pleasurable to look at. I'm at the age where I feel happy doing things around the house and being a homebody pleases me. So anything domestic au gets my brain going. These photos are very dangerous for the imagination.

Thanks for sharing with me and my followers 🩷 anyone else have notifications on for Jinyoung and have a little secret smile when you see his name come up on your phone, or is that just me? Normally follows with a lot of sighs and cursing him out. And yet, there's always a tiny moment of delight all the same 🤣

I haven't watched Superman in years but I like the idea of him wearing the Clark Kent glasses and then morphing into a superhero hahaah.

Aw you were?

They're okay. It hasn't been an easy time of late owning horses, though. Late July , we had a terrible storm and I needed to change the girls into new rugs in the middle of it as their ones they had on were waterlogged. In a freak accident, Honey kicked me in the left inside of my knee/leg. I was close to a fracture occurring. I've 90% healed from it and I was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

Earlier this week, Brynn kicked me in my right leg. Wasn't a freak accident, she was just saying no about having her rug on and I wore it. Thankfully not nearly as bad (and my right leg is my disabled one so I have to be careful). With the change into spring, she's had some behavioural issues which is sucky but we're working through them.

I've owned horses for 20 years now and I've never really been kicked before. To have it happen twice in short concession sucks! I don't particularly like it either 😅

Seoul has been rather dramatic of late, and today I moved everyone onto new paddocks. She was so excited she was screeching like a dinosaur 😂 I really wish I had filmed it. And I know you didn't ask, but the elderly gelding we also have here to look after is doing okay despite multiple health issues. I thought we were going to lose him a couple of weeks ago but he's proving he wants to stick around still.

Here's a picture of Honey and Brynn the other day - Seoul refused to flatter us with a nice picture unfortunately.

Late night conversations with a tired kihyun…because you thought it, and now I want it, and you need it (you know you do).

Thank you and I love you ❤️

This was based on a conversation when Kihyun did a voice vlive and we talked about how amazing it'd be to have sleepy phone calls with him. Thanks for waiting for me to come back from hiatus to write this for you... and for killing me with the Kihyun feels I am now suffering from after writing this.

Gasping as your phone rang and you saw who was calling, you answered, feeling breathless. "What are you doing ringing me right now?!"

"Well, hello to you too, beautiful," came the reply, coupled with a husky chuckle.

Despite noting the sheer exhaustion in Kihyun's voice, you grinned, sinking your teeth into your bottom lip momentarily. You loved hearing from your boyfriend no matter what time of the day or night.

You were concerned he was awake now. Most people were getting ready for the workday - much as you were - but Kihyun had been working all night long after releasing a new single with Monsta X.

"You should be asleep already. Did you wake up early?"

He sighed, and you imagined that he was rubbing his face tiredly with a hand. "No. I haven't slept yet. We only just finished the last interview."

"Now?"

"Time zones are a bitch, baby."

"So is your work schedule," you lamented. "Off to bed, Kihyun. You'll no doubt have more scheduled in a few hours to get done."

"Eager to get rid of me when I'm eager for you. I missed you today."

"It's a new day, Kihyun," you teased, going back over to your kitchen where you had been preparing your breakfast. "But I've missed you too."

"Favourite word?" Kihyun asked, and you laughed, not answering. "What? Tell me."

"What's yours?"

"Nuh-uh, I asked you first, Miss Editor."

You would tell Kihyun about words you came across as you edited pieces for the publication house you worked at. You had a fascination with words, and you often wondered if that was one of the reasons that had drawn you to Kihyun in the beginning.

He sang words for a living, after all.

"Inexhaustible," you teased.

Kihyun grunted. "That's not me. I'm beyond exhausted."

"I had to look for synonyms for the word bountiful yesterday. The author had put it in the chapter eight times. Eight!"

"During one of the interviews Changkyun and I did last night, they said the word like in between every three words. It was, like, really annoying."

Laughing together, you then balanced your phone between your ear and shoulder as you finished making your meal. "What about you. Your favourite word?"

"Y/N."

"My name is not applicable," you remarked, though your heart somersaulted in your chest. "That's a name, not a word."

"It's still my favourite word because it is you."

"Charmer."

Kihyun chuckled once more, followed by a yawn. "Prince Charming is falling asleep."

"Maybe you should become Sleeping Beauty instead."

"Will you wake me up with a kiss?" he wondered, and you grinned.

"No. I'm sure Minhyuk will if he has to, though."

"Rude. I want your lips only."

"How do you make folding towels look sexy?" you wondered, and your husband glanced over at you with a smirk curling up his lips.

"What about it makes it sexy? The towel or the thought of me in the towel after I've showered?" Taecyeon offered with a laugh, and you rolled your eyes.

"I wasn't thinking about you in a towel."

"You are now."

You avoided answering his statement. "Your arms. You're just folding towels, and I think that's sexy."

He cocked his head to the side for a moment and then grinned as he emphasised the motion of folding another towel. You laughed loudly and threw the laundry item you held in your hand at him.

Taecyeon held up your bra with a grin. "You're meant to throw the one you're wearing at me, babe."

"Not happening."

"Why not? You just said my towel folding skills are sexy."

"I'm going to regret speaking for the rest of the day, aren't I?" you stated, catching the undergarment he tossed back at you to fold.

"On the contrary. I'm looking forward to showing you what other domestic tasks I excel at."

"As long as the house is clean afterwards," you remarked, and your husband laughed heartily then.

You were grateful that even after all this time together, you could make one another laugh like this. That the way Taecyeon looked at you still sent flutters alive in your stomach. The way his eyes watched you always made your skin heat up.

You were blessed to have someone at your side that didn't complain about doing chores with you on his only day off work too.

Once the laundry was folded, the floors were cleaned, and the dishes were done, you slumped down on the couch, letting out an exhausted breath. Taecyeon approached you with a quizzical expression. "What are you doing?"

"Resting."

"But we still have one more thing to do," he mentioned, and you glanced up questioningly. "You have a bra to throw at me, and I've got a towel to show you looking great around my waist."

"Seriously?"

"Deadly. You've worked up quite the sweat cleaning with me all day, haven't you?"

You shrugged. "Maybe I've got no energy left to play with you now."

"Oh darling," Taecyeon started, leaning down to brush his lips over yours. "Come and show me what a domestic goddess you can be."

You were anxious over the gift you had gotten. That much Kyungsoo could tell. He schooled his face to indifference, even though it was difficult to fight the smile to stay off his face. God, you were too adorable.

"It's one of a kind," you babbled on, your hands opening and closing after handing over the slim box to him, and Kyungsoo watched the action for a few moments, his own hands twitching around the box he held as he denied the urge to reach out and calm you down.

Of course, he could be the doting type of partner. And he was. You had been surprised by how affectionate he had become quickly throughout your relationship. Once seen as the stoic, aloof man with the same routine day in and out, you soon learned that that was just cover to keep interest in him at bay. Kyungsoo didn't like the attention of many, but once you held his interest, you gained access to a multitude of sides to him that he didn't openly share with others.

He was much more playful than most realised, which was why it was hard for him to not slip into a bubbly and comforting version of himself to ease your concerns. For some reason, he liked seeing you sweat like this. Maybe he was more of an asshole than he considered himself to be.

Focusing on the present instead of you, Kyungsoo opened the lid and stared down at it. He was stunned. No one had ever gifted him something so special before.

"I got your name engraved on it too. So when you're in the kitchen, others won't mistake it for one of the normal knives. What do you think? Do you like it?"

He loved it, but he was struggling to swallow down the rising emotions in his throat, and talking felt impossible.

You took his silence as rejection. "I mean, it's not a big deal, right? Just a knife. I just thought since you're now sou chef that with your promo--mmph!"

Somehow, Kyungsoo had managed to safely place the custom knife down and grab you in the same breath, his lips crashing down on yours. He might've not been able to talk, but he could definitely use his mouth in other ways to let you know how touched he was.

And by the time he was done, you certainly seemed aware. You smiled. "You like it."

"Love," he choked out, looking at you solely. "I love you."

"Don't you mean you love it, Kyungsoo?" you teased, and he laughed hoarsely, shaking his head.

"Right now, I'm thinking about how much I love you. Thank you. It means so much to me."

"So, I got you the best present?"

"The second best," he announced, and before you could sulk, he was kissing you again. Against your lips, he told you, "I'm getting the best one right now."

"Once upon a time--"

"Why do all stories have to start like that?" a little voice interjected, and you peered over the fairytale you held.

"Well, that's how stories like this one begin."

The little girl frowned. "Really?"

"Of course. Have I not read you a book before bed long enough now? Mama always starts them out like this."

"Daddy never does," she told you, and it was your turn to frown.

"How does Daddy do it?"

With her little eyes now wide and hands held out expressively at her sides, your princess-loving daughter launched into a story about aliens. You observed her animated storytelling with some reserve, especially when she clambered out of her bedding and pretended to shoot a bazooka at the bad alien as she spoke of its occurrence.

Stunned, you placed the book you had dropped into your lap back on her bookcase before tucking her into bed. You eyed her posture, noticing she was more awake than she had been after the rest of her bedtime routine. Kissing her goodnight on her crown, you left her room with a soft warning that it was time to put the guns down and sleep.

Once you made it down the hallway to the office, you slipped into the room, standing behind your husband with hands on your hips. It took him a few minutes to notice your reflection in one of the dual monitors to his gaming setup.

"What's wrong?" Chanyeol asked, his fingers still tapping at the keyboard in some weird gaming sequence you couldn't understand. "Did our princess go down easily?"

"Our alien warrior is more awake than ever. Now I know why when you read her a story she's up for several more hours. What's so wrong with the fairytales, Yeolie?"

Smiling sheepishly, he stopped playing his game and spun around to grab your hips. "I'm teaching her diversity. She can be a well-mannered princess who can defend herself against the bad guys."

Ignoring the twitch of your mouth, you shook your head. "You're on the duty of putting her back to bed every time she gets up tonight. You and your aliens can handle that, right?"
