Like now.

He went above and beyond and managed to piss you off. And he knew that. You really made sure he knew that.

So here you were. In the kitchen, trying to make yourself something to eat. Trying being the key word. Because your dumbass of a boyfriend managed to annoy you even without being in the room.

You were lost in thought as you stirred the pot when a bump against your led almost made you jump with fright. When you looked down you saw a red toy car. The one with a remote, you got your boyfriend as a joke earlier.

You looked down unamused as the red truck backed down and bumped against your calf again with more force. Your gaze drifted up to the living room where your boyfriend was supposed to be. The motherfucker comically flinched then rolled over on the couch to hide from your gaze. Meanwhile the car bumped against your leg again.

You had to ask the universe later why were you so deeply in love with the most ridiculous person ever.

“Han Jisung get your toy away from me!” – You yelled, not in a mood to play.

That seemed to work for few minutes because as you plopped on the couch trying to enjoy your food the doomed red truck appeared again. It picked up pace as it headed towards the sofa and crashed against it with a soft thud.

“Han Jisung what did I say?!”

“Yah do not call me by the name! You’re only allowed to call me by sweet nicknames! I am your baby damn it!” You heard Han yell from the bedroom. Where he wasn’t totally hunched next to the door with the toy’s remote in hand smiling like an absolute dork he is. Did he honestly think that not lighting the lights in the room made him invisible? Who did he think he was? Batman?

The toy truck kept bumping again and again against the sofa, slowly getting on your nerves. After a while you just couldn’t take it anymore. You were starting to feel each thud in your temples. You straightened up, determined to take the elements from the toy. That’s when you saw it. Your favorite treat on the trunk of the truck. You slowly took the treat. Unsure of what your boyfriend was up to.

The second you picked the treat the truck retreated with a loud screech and went towards where Han was.

“You do know that this isn’t enough to make me want to forgive you, right?” You talked to the darkness of the room once again and you could have sworn you heard a soft huff.

Over the course of whole evening the truck came to you with all sorts of your favorite snacks. And weirdly you felt your resolve slowly started to break. Especially because the sticky notes he attached to the snacks were simply ridiculous in the most weirdly endearing way.

They were compilations of basically the corniest pickup lines. How did he come up with that was sure a mystery for you. But you knew he had the most…to say kindly unique brain you had ever had the pleasure to encounter. With each little note the texts got more and more ridiculous.

"I know I’m in trouble… but does trouble get a second chance if it brings snacks and cuddles?"

"Are you mad at me, or just testing how irresistible I look when I’m begging for forgiveness?"

"If kisses were apologies, I’d owe you a lifetime supply."

"I messed up, but can I earn back your smile one hug at a time?"

"Are you mad at me, or just jealous that I get to date the cutest human alive?"

"I know I messed up… but doesn’t my face look like it deserves parole?"

"If loving you is a crime, then I’m guilty—and I’ll happily serve a life sentence."

"You can stay mad, but I’ll still be the guy who steals your fries and your heart."

"I know you’re upset, but can we agree I look way too adorable to be punished forever?"

"I’d fight dragons, climb mountains, and even watch your least favorite Netflix show—just to see you smile."

"You’re the peanut butter to my jelly… and I promise not to leave crumbs again."

 For a moment you thought of taking his phone away from him to see if he could come up with these silly things like these without it.

After a while the truck with difficulty brought you a small little teddy. Where did he get even those? Did he have some hidden storage in the room?

You took the last note and it finally managed to make you crack and huff out a laugh.

“I know I acted like a dummy. And I am really sorry. Please forgive me or I’ll write so many sad songs the stays will cry and blame you!”

God what a ridiculous man.

Your ridiculous man.

Yours, always yours.

“Wanna help me eat the snacks?” You asked the darkness after few seconds of debating internally.

In the next few seconds you were almost crushed by a flying squirrel. Who, as he admitted later, apparently kept a whole box full of your favorite snacks and cute plushies because he apparently hated it too much when you were too upset with him and unfortunately, as he said, he managed to piss you off too often for his liking.

Lee Felix

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Lee Felix was the sweetest human ever. Everyone and their mama knew that. He was so kind, thoughtful, considerate and gentle with you. That’s why you were here stuck feeling so many types of emotions all at once after your first argument as a couple.

You were only trying to be considerate and wanted to clean up in the house and yes that included his gaming space. You were wiping the dust when you accidentally knocked the glass of water he had left there. You watched it in slow motion, the water splash on the keyboard he built himself, and it making a sound it shouldn’t make at all. You physically felt your heart sink.

Even more when you heard Felix gasp and it finally almost shattered when Felx, already too tense with his schedule, yelled at you! You tried to defend yourself. Told him that it was only an accident, that you only wanted to help and nothing more. But Felix wasn’t in the mood to hear it. He kept going on how you’re too clumsy and reckless and you had no job near his things like that.

Honestly it felt like you were seeing whole another side of him.

You apologized profoundly but it didn’t still feel enough.

You even got him a new keyboard. You placed it on his desk neatly. Waiting for him to return home and see it. You felt terrible. At the same time kind of hollow.

You had never thought that there would come a day where Felix,  your sweet kind Felix would yell at you.

He didn’t even say anything mean or something like that but you felt utterly useless and you hated that. How could one simple argument push forward so many bad feelings.

You were sulking in the bedroom when you heard the door open. Felix must have returned from the practice. You wanted to get up and greet him. But somehow you couldn’t force yourself to do it. You felt too bad.

You heard the soft thud of his steps as he walked around the house. After a while he came into the room. You didn’t see him, you, like a coward were hiding under the blanket. It was funny. You hadn’t even done anything wrong…well at least deliberately. You were only trying to help. The fact that you had good intentions meant something right?

With how heavy his steps were it wasn’t hard to guess he was really tired.

You didn’t like how your body slightly tensed when you felt him approach. Felix stood in front of you for a few seconds. You could feel his gaze even through the blanket covering you. He then stepped around the bed, towards his side of the bed. The bed dipped after. And in seconds he moved the blanket so that at least your head was visible, his arms gently wrapped around your middle.

You tensed for a second then against your better judgement your whole body started to melt. And when his lips brushed against the back of your neck your whole body now felt like it was set on fire. You held back the soft whimper rising from the back of the throat.

“I’m sorry.” – His voice was gruff, strained.

When you didn’t say anything he tightened his hold on you. His body warm against your back.

“I really am. I feel really bad. No matter how mad I was I had no right to yell at you like that. I’m really sorry sweetheart.” His voice, gentle for you, sent shivers down your spine.

“It hurt when you yelled at me.” – you hated how your voice wavered.

Felix’s arms flexed around you. “I’m sorry love. I really am. I promise no matter how mad I am…even if I’m blinded by the rage…I won’t dare to raise my voice at you ever again…I won’t disrespect you like that ever again. I care way too much about you to lose you like that…I love you okay?”

He paused for a second then continued talking, his lips brushing against your neck. “I brought you your favorite takeout by the way. Do you want to get up or should I bring it here?”

You thought for a second before muttering “here…”

Felix kissed your neck once more before getting up. He left the room only to return with the big intricate bouquet of your favorite flowers, food bag and even your favorite treats from the bakery you love.

God you loved this man

Kim Seungmin

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

More than angry or upset you felt numb.

Too numb to even argue or yell at him or even show anything at all. To show how much his words got to you. You were only trying to be nice and get him and his bandmates some food because you knew how much they had been overworking themselves. That’s when you overheard it. Seungmin talking to his friends about how clingy and needy you were. How it felt like you were dependent on him and constantly seeking his attention. Honestly what hurt the most was that he was talking about these sorts of things to his friends, behind your back, instead of you.

You felt the shame quickly rise up your body and you felt so many emotions all at once it was quite overwhelming. Most of all you felt betrayed that your boyfriend, the man you trusted with your whole hear, was talking about you behind your back. You also felt pathetic, just how bad was their view of you? Did they think you were some pathetic needy mess who couldn’t live without Seungmin? Sure you were more affectionate one in the relationship and more open with your feelings too. You didn’t think you were anything remotely close to what he was saying about you.

For a solid minute you didn’t know what to do. You were here with all this food and snacks completely glued to the place. You didn’t know whether you wanted to barge in and demand answers or to leave. Lucky for you if you could even say that Felix appeared. Quickly gathering yourself you greeted him and gave him the food bags. Honestly the performance you put on how you were in a hurry and just came here to bring them food was Oscar worthy. Felix stared at you a bit too long as if sensing that something was wrong but thankfully, he didn’t say anything.

 You quickly went home after that, moving fully on autopilot. Paying nothing around you attention. Only focusing on the turmoil of emotions you felt on the inside.

When Seungmin got home, earlier than usual, you almost didn’t notice it. You were too deep in your mind. Burrowed under the blankets. Seeking comfort you needed. You only noticed that Seungmin had returned home was when you felt the bed dip next to you. Seungmin’s hand immediately found it’s usual place on top of your head.

“Are you okay?” – Seungmin asked after a few seconds. His voice unsure.

“Fine.” – Your voice was gruff. Sounding foreign, even for you.

“Why didn’t you come inside to see me if you came by today?”

You sighed. “I was busy.”

“Busy?” You didn’t have to see his face to know that he was frowning. “Busy how?”

You sighed, a bit more annoyed now. “Why are you interrogating me?”

Seungmin scoffed, “I’m not interrogating you. I just want to know what’s wrong because you never act like this.”

“Well maybe I don’t want to be clingy today!” You snapped from under the covers, your voice showing that you were hurt.

“Clingy? What made you think that?”

His confusion made something in you snap. You took off the covers from your head and full on glared at him. “I heard you Seungmin! You told others that I’m really needy and clingy. How could you do that?! How could you talk behind my back like that? Is that how you really see me? Like I’m some needy pathetic person who constantly needs your attention?!”

Seungmin stared at you with disbelief written all over his face. You saw several emotions cross his face, then he had the audacity to scoff like you just insulted his mother. “Yah! I do not think about you like that!” He flicked your forehead. Like actually, flicked your forehead.

You take is hand off of you not at all gently. “I heard you Seungmin!”

Something similar to guilt flashed in his eyes.

He sighed and slid his hand through his hair, messing up his neatly styled hair. “Okay I did say that.”

You couldn’t help but roll your eyes. “Oh thank you for so graciously admitting it!” – you snapped.

Seungmin glared back for a second, but his gaze quickly softened. He retorted to softly pinching your thigh. “Let me finish love.” – he didn’t wait for your answer, he just took your hand in his. You tried to take it back, but he didn’t let you. “I did say that you were clingy and needy. But you must have not listened fully to it. Yes I should have worded it better and not used words like clingy and needy but baby you should know the context before getting mad at me. I did say that you’re needy and clingy but not even for a second did I mean is as a bad thing.” – He squeezed your hand even harder as if to make a point. “I love those things about you. I love how affectionate and sweet you are. How you always make sure to take care of me and others too. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone. And I really am sorry I made you doubt it even for a second.” To make his point across he covered your knuckles with soft kisses, while looking at you so tenderly one would think you hung all the stars. You hated how weak it made you feel. You hated how weak you were for him. You hated how he had all the power to hurt you… but… you’d willingly give him your heart over and over again. Today made you realize how much power he had over you, your self-worth, your confidence, your trust and so on… yet… yet even the idea of being apart from him…you couldn’t do it.

“I hate you.”- You heard yourself grumble like a little kid. Seungmin chuckled and leaned in to kiss your cheek which made your traitorous heart jump with joy.

“Don’t worry pup. I know I don’t say it much but I love you enough for both of us.”

Yang Jeongin

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

One thing about being the maknae of the group and constantly getting spoiled and pampered by his hyungs was that Jeongin got used to it. And sometimes it meant that he expected that same exact treatment from others too.

Including you.

To be honest though, when you started your relationship with him it was quite the opposite. He loved that you didn’t baby him and that you treated him like an equal in every way. He loved that you were treating him like a grown adult he was. But, as you said, being used to all that special treatment, Jeongin now had a bit of a hard time understanding when he was wrong. More than that, he kind of expected sometimes for you to just give in and back down whenever you two argued. Which wasn’t a lot because you two didn’t argue much. He really was a good boyfriend to you but whenever it happened it was really annoying to you. Like now.

You barely even remembered what you were upset about. You just knew that you were irked by his snarky attitude. So you sat here in the living room, scrolling on your phone. Enjoying a bit of space.

Jeongin took that as a literal offence.

Because what did you mean you were upset with the Maknae on top?!

He didn’t have much experience in dating, there were few flings there and there which didn’t last long. You were first real and serious relationship to him. And he really didn’t want to mess it up. But he was lost. He was so used to everyone around him being understanding and patient and always giving in and forgiving him even when he messed up that he was genuinely lost now that you reacted like this. He was mostly baffled by your silent  treatment. He acted like this was all big nuisance for him. He tried to act like he was way above and beyond over all that, but that was just a surface. Because on the inside he was totally freaking out. You had never acted like that and he was really starting to panic. No matter how hard he tried to fight it the anxiety and guilt were getting too much to handle slowly. Did he upset you that much? Was he that much of an asshole to you? Did you hate him now? Why weren’t you saying anything? Were you about to break up with him? The silence was getting too much.

“So you’re just gonna ignore me like this all day” his voice came out snarky which he knew wasn’t helping his case at all but he couldn’t help it. He was baffled how you were acting so cool and indifferent now when he was here totally freaking out on the inside. And when you looked at him with impassive eyes you could have almost sworn that you saw him flinch. The answer was clear.

Jeongin continued pacing back and forth for a while until he couldn’t take it anymore. Muttering something you couldn’t fully understand he left without even bothering to take his jacket despite it being middle of a winter.

You wondered yourself wheather you should call or not. Wheather if you should check on him. You were worried. Where did he go? Why didn’t he bring a jacket? Did he get so upset he couldn’t even stay in the same room as you? What if he caught a cold? Where could he even go in the middle of the night?

You hated how pride was stopping you from checking on him. Yes, you were upset but you were more worried about his safety and wellbeing. So why couldn’t you just take the phone and call?

You were about to give in and take the phone and finally force yourself to call him when you heard the sound of your front door.

He stomped his way inside, without even bothering to take off his shoes, his hair a mess, cheeks and tips of his nose red from the cold winter night. With heavy steps he paced towards you and casually dumped, (but not really) the biggest and the most gorgeous bouquet in your lap. Followed by your favourite takout and a huge bag of your favourite snacks.

To say that you had no words would be an understatement.

He looked at your shocked expression for a few seconds then scoffed and before you could even process it his lips were on you as his freezing cold hands held onto your jaw and neck. Kissing you like he was proving a point. His lips were moving against yours so firmly and passionately you almost forgot why you were In this situation in the first place.

“I am sorry I acted like a jackass!” He snarked when he broke the kiss but maybe in his mind he was apologizing.

You were pretty dazed from the intense makeout session but once his words downed on you the soft laughter that escaped you was unstoppable. Once you looked at his pouting face and you realized that he was a nervous wreck on the inside. All sorts of negative feelings disappeared.

“Did you also get me that candy I like?” You asked with a teasing lilt. Acting like you were being so generous for even deciding to talk to him.

He huffed, clearly hating the situation he was in, his hold on your waist tightening as he got more comfortable on top of you and nuzzled his face to your stomach, but the quick nod of his head and the glimpse of his red ears were enough for you to give in.

Your fingers found their place through his hair. And when he looked up at you with those sparkly eyes full of hope?

Who were you kidding? You were a goner for this boy. One look at him and your heart did backflips.

“I’m only forgiving you because of snacks.” – you hummed as you continued to play with his hair. A blatant lie from your part. But neither of you cared. Not really, when this petty argument between you two was finally resolved. At least for now.
