#fluff:seonghwa

Seonghwa hated seeing you like this. It was his duty as your best friend to always have you smiling brighter than the sun. But, today was one of those gloomy days where the sunny skies became cloudy almost instantly.

“I just- don’t know what I did wrong” You sniffled back a tear, wiping away the previous ones away with your sweater paws.

“You did nothing wrong, it’s his loss. Trust me.” Seonghwa always told you not to worry, you’d usually listen but today you didn’t want to. You wanted answers.

“We were so good to each other, I was so sure he felt the same. So sure” There was one thing you hated about boys, and it was the way they showed their feelings.

After a long drought, you had convinced yourself to open your chamber of feelings to the world again. But that obviously didn’t end well, did it? You grew some sort of affection towards this boy, that was clearly very friendly, maybe a little too friendly. You thought it’d be a good shot, you were wrong. 

Just when you thought he’d replicate the same feelings, you were left standing there after a humiliating rejection. It was then you decided once and for all, men ain’t shit.

“I think you just pushed it a bit too far- like it’s been a while since... you’ve gotten back out there, you know?” Seonghwa fiddled with his fingers, tilting his head to the side as he shuffles closer to you on the couch.

“Yeah... I guess” The frown on your face softened as you turn to face Seonghwa, who was staring at you diligently.

“I mean, it’s still not your fault though” Seonghwa brings a hand up to your face, brushing all the loose strands of hair out of your face.

“Love is officially dead. No one is gonna love me. Ever. I think I’m just gonna stop loving people-” Seonghwa didn’t bat an eyelash, he continued to play with your hair.

“What do you mean ‘stop loving people’? Are you gonna stop loving me? Love is not dead, trust me. What if there actually is someone out there who loves you? What are you gonna do then hm?-”

“Seonghwa” You interrupted Seonghwa with a smirk.

“Yes?”

“Is there something you want to tell me?” 

A shade of crimson flushes across his face, eyes widening as he stops playing with your hair. A heavy silence falls over the room as the two of you stare deeply into each other’s eyes, waiting for Seonghwa’s answer.

“N-No. Why’d you ask?”

“I don’t know, you just seem very against the idea of me closing off my emotions...”

“Well- I just want you to be happy. With someone- not like now but whenever you want to-”

“Seonghwa. Stop stalling” Seonghwa presses his lips into a thin line, clearing his throat before sitting straight, facing the front before staring at the TV blankly.

“I like you” It was a mere whisper, but you could still hear it, perfectly and clearly.

“Hm?” You teasingly hummed, raising a brow at Seonghwa as his eyes flicker back and forth between you and the TV.

“What?”

“I didn’t hear that. What did you say?” 

Seonghwa lets out a loud sigh before leaning his face down to yours, swallowing the lump in his throat as he reaches eye-level with you.

“I. Like. You.” 

[8:43 pm] you head to your new room and throw yourself on the bed after working hard on your first day of college.

then all of a sudden you hear someone barging into the room. confused, you walk towards the door when you meet a guy wearing a black leather jacket.

“hey! what are you doing here? that’s my room.” he runs his hands through the locks of his silver hair, slightly annoyed and just as confused as you are.

“well i don’t know what you’re talking about but that’s my new room.” you say and he proceeds to take his jacket and shoes off before he heads to the bed, completely ignoring you.

you choose to ignore him back and go back to bed.

but you’re suddenly stopped by a tight grip on your wrist. “where do you think you’re going?”

you huff and roll your eyes “as you can see, i’m going to sleep.”

“oh really? and where am i supposed to sleep? there’s only one bed…” you just realize that you’re in a trouble. how in the world they don’t have more than just one bed in a room?

“well unfortunately guess we’ll have to be bedmates then.” you bluntly say. “now would you please let me go?” his grip finally loosens and you quickly lay down on the bed, shortly followed by the guy you still don’t even know his name.

“i’m park seonghwa by the way.” the name feels somehow familiar to you and you immediately remember hearing from your friends that he’s one of the most popular guys, but how can a normal student like you end up being roommates with someone like him?

“i’m y/n.” you shyly introduce yourself back, noticing how close seonghwa is as he glances at you, sending shivers down your back.

“i’m gonna fail..” you mumbled, flipping through the pages quickly, not understanding anything.

“need help there?” a voice cut you from your deep thinking. the moment you turned around you saw a really handsome guy standing right in front of you, you internally thanked god someone offered you help, you were desperate.

you gave him a small nod as he pulled a seat next to you.

“i heard you talk a while ago and i happen to major in that subject so i decided to come over and help.” he explained with a proud smirk on his face, he was acting arrogant now, was he? you wanted to wipe that smirk off his face, but for the sake of your future, you had to put up with him.

“so what is it that you don’t understand?” he asked as you pointed at the parts you had been struggling with earlier. he helped explaining them to you and to your surprise he was really good at it, maybe he did have the right to act cocky.

after finishing he just stayed there and stared at your face when you felt yourself under his deadly yet sweet gaze.

“what? is there something with my face?” you asked, furrowing your eyebrows. a confused look was evident on your face. your question brought him back to reality as his face flushed from embarrassment.

“n-no, it’s just that you look um, really cute. especially when you’re focusing on something, your face looks adorable.” he whispered but it was still audible enough for you to hear and you also felt your face becoming as red as a tomato.

he took a piece of paper and quickly wrote something on it and placed it on the table.

“i’m seonghwa and this definitely won’t be the last time we’ll see each other, cutie.” he said before walking away before you could even say anything.

you took the piece of paper and read what was written.

‘congratulations, you just earned yourself a tutor! here’s my number x-xx-xxxx ;)

- seonghwa ♡’

“What did I say about trying to escape?” You were too hesitant to raise your head, afraid that Seonghwa might just end it all with one look.

“I-I’m sorry-”

“Sorry? Is that all you have to say?” You were trembling on your feet, eyes glued to the dark oak beneath as your fingers desperately fiddle with the elastic around your wrist.

You couldn’t find the words to say next thanks to your fear, which only increased when Seonghwa’s pacing grew louder. The still sight was broken by his shiny shoes entering your vision.

“Look at me” You couldn’t bring yourself to obey his simplest orders, bring yourself to even look at him.

Your breath hitched at the back of your throat as you feel Seonghwa’s ice-cold fingers linger over the skin of your chin. Lips now parted as you try to control your breathing.

Seonghwa lifts your face up by your chin, finally staring right into his lifeless cold gaze, making your heart beat faster by the second. Dried blood still stained the pale skin around his lips after viciously draining the life out of your two-faced ticket to freedom. 

“You know you’re more likely to die out there, with a horde of demons, than in my castle, right?” You nod your headly slowly, unable to pry away your eyes from his inky ones. 

“Yes”

“And you know you’re more safe with me than some random offering you freedom, right?” The series of events instantly flash back in front of your eyes.

You knew better than to trust someone you just met two minutes ago, especially in this world. A part of your desperate self just wanted to be free, even if it meant breaching all common sense. 

“Yes”

“Then you know I must protect you at all costs-”

You gulp at the sudden display of his teeth as he perks up a small grin, showing off his pointers, deadly pointers.

You back pressed up against Seonghwa’s chest as he plants soft butterfly kisses on your shoulder, watching you play with the water surrounding you. 

The warm breeze brushes through your wet hair, hitting against your exposed skin. Seonghwa snakes his arms loosely around your waist, gently caressing your skin as he engulfs your body into an embrace. 

“Hey lovebirds! Come join us!” Wooyoung waved over with his high-pitched yell.

Wooyoung was taken back by the splash of water Yunho hit to his face, blinking rapidly before taking his own attack. 

“Do you want to join them?” You ask Seonghwa, his chin rested against your shoulder as his face was buried against your neck.

[ 9:43 AM ] 

“Good morning, baby” Seongwha rolls over with a groan and eyes half-opened. The best wake up call was Seonghwa’s honey voice, his hand runs through your hair as you dig your face deeper into his chest and mutter a soft “good morning”.

“I don’t want to get out of bed” You feel like you could stay in Seonghwa’s embrace forever, your eyes remain closed as Seonghwa trails his fingers up and down your spine. “Aren’t you hungry?” He asks, you really could go for some breakfast but Seonghwa’s arms were more than you could ask for.

“Yes.” Seonghwa chuckles at your cuteness. He pulls away from you as he sits up against the headboard. Your eyes open to a ball of blonde fluff with swollen cheeks. “Don’t leave me” Seonghwa smiles as he lifts the blanket off him, swinging his feet over the bed. 

“Don’t you want pancakes?” You smile at his request, Seonghwa knew you loved pancakes and luckily for him he was great at making them. “Of course I do!” You quickly seat yourself up while still covered by the blanket as a big grin forms on your face. 

“Then get your lazy ass out of bed” You didn’t hesitate to pull yourself out of bed as you ran to Seonghwa’s side giggling like a little girl. Seonghwa laughs as he wraps his arm around your shoulder as he guides you two towards the kitchen. 

Seonghwa immediately turns on the stove as he prepares the ingredients. He whisks and cracks them together, formulating the sweetest batter that would soon turn into mouth-watering fluffy clouds. You rest your chin on your palm as you admire his back muscles through his thin shirt. Pancakes weren’t the only mouth-watering food in the kitchen.

The soft sizzling of batter against the pan immediately releases a sweet aroma flooding the kitchen as Seonghwa spins around after pouring the batter. He crosses his arms on the counter with his face inches away from yours. You smile at him as he leans closer with his own cute smile. “Can you make me an extra pancake?”.

“Only if I get a kiss” He didn’t have to ask twice as you close the gap between your lips. Your lips slowly move in sync as Seonghwa releases his arms to bring a hand up, softly caressing your face. It was slow but passionate. You could feel Seonghwa inching forward, deepening the kiss as he licks the bottom of your lip.

Suddenly, the sweet aroma was gone. It was replaced with a rather fuming scent. You pull away from Seonghwa with furrowed brows. He stares at you in confusion as a smile crept itself onto your face. “What’s that smell?” You ask.

“Oh shit, they’re burning!” Seonghwa spins around in panic as smoke rises from the pan. He immediately lifts the pan from the heat sighing in defeat. You chuckle at his sad face as he places the pan onto the heat mat. 

“No... NO DON’T GO IN THERE!” You yell at the TV, you never knew why these characters would do the opposite of surviving. You were cuddled up against Seonghwa with a large bowl of buttered popcorn sitting in your lap. Seonghwa decided it would be a great idea to watch The Nun late at night. 

“Baby, she’s going to be fi- AHH” Seonghwa flinched at the sight of the girl being slammed against the wall, making you scream with him. You steady your breathing, placing your hand against Seonghwa’s chest trying to calm him down. 

Seonghwa tightened his hold around you, bringing you closer to his chest with the blanket practically covering you. “Aw, is someone scared?” You chuckle at Seonghwa who’s eyes are still glued on the TV wide open. You snuggle closer to him, making yourself warm.

You and Seonghwa continue to watch the movie with a few scares and jumps here and there. Your eyes begin to feel tired and your head falls slowly against Seonghwa’s chest. The movie was near its end anyways, resting your eyes for a few seconds wouldn’t hurt. 

Seonghwa was about to lift you up from himself when he heard a light snore from you. He looks down at you peacefully sleeping, hand still in the bowl of popcorn as your mouth slightly gapes.

The bowl of popcorn is placed on the table as Seonghwa carries you to the bed, carefully trying not to wake you up from your sleep. Seonghwa smiles as you slightly squirm on the bed making yourself comfortable across the wide surface.

Seonghwa switches off the lamp as he lays beside you, arm draped across your waist. He adjusts himself comfortably in bed as he faces your sleeping beauty.

[9:12 pm] you’ve been pretending to not know what seonghwa has been hinting for the whole day. you see the evident sadness in his face, he thinks you forgot about his birthday. but little did he know he was wrong.

he comes back from practice and finds you waiting for him on the couch.

“welcome back baby! how was practice?” you ask as he slides down next to you.

“it was okay, the usual, nothing new.” the two of you stay silent for a moment.

“i’ll go get something to eat because i’m hungry, want me to get you anything?” silently, he shakes his head as you excuse yourself and head to the kitchen.

you come back with a big, pink box in your hands and you give it to seonghwa, who looks at you with confusion.

“can you open this for me?” with curiosity he carefully opens the box only to see a birthday cake with his name on it.

“how can i forget about your birthday?” his smile grows wide as he pulls you into a tight hug, placing soft kisses all over your face and down your jawline and neck.
