It’s A Date → Pairing: Lim Jaebeom x Fem! Reader Tags: 700 words, AU, First Date Mishaps, Badass Aesthetic Beom, Prompt, Drabble Request. Prompt: No.1 There are people chasing us and I pulled you into the alley with me and wow you’re close. Requested by @jjpmoans​

You knew one day your taste in men was going to get you in trouble.

Right now it has you running hand in hand with a guy you barely know, racing for your lives as a group of rather terrifying men chase you down with an assortment of weapons in their hands. Your lungs are close to bursting and you want nothing more than to fall to your knees but the iron grip on your hand keeps you moving.

Finally, catching a break, you both manage to cut another corner out of their sight and Jaebeom swings you into an alleyway. You lose your balance when he suddenly pulls you sideways and you squeal in surprise as he catches you and pushes you up against the wall, pressing his body into you as if he could shield you in case his plan doesn’t work.

⇒ jaebeom

“Y/N, stop can we please talk about this?”

“I have nothing to say to you.” You continued packing your stuff up in the suitcase, preparing to leave.

You’d confronted Jaebeom about his affair with one of the staff on tour with him and his refusal to deny its existence was enough to let you know that it was true. Your blood boiled as you watched him shift uncomfortably at the confrontation. You just needed to leave.

“You have to understand, on tour... it gets rough. You’re in a foreign place with just your members and staff. Every night I was in different city and I just missed you so much.” Jaebeom said, his head hanging low. “I knew it was a mistake and I never should’ve let it happen.”

Continuing to pack, you spoke as tears threatened to spill out, “You’re right. You shouldn’t have. If you were going to accidentally slip your dick into somebody else, you should’ve broken up with me so that I wouldn’t waste the last six months of my life waiting for you like an idiot!”

“Baby, please. I’m begging you. Don’t go, I know I fucked up, but I-I don’t exist without you.” Jaebeom sunk to his knees, his head bowing down.

You had never seen Jaebeom like this, so distraught, so desperate. It almost broke your heart, but the minute he decided to betray you like this all bets were off. How could you be with someone you couldn’t trust?

Zipping you your suitcase you rolled it towards the door, “Well you really should’ve thought of that before you cheated on me.”

⇒ mark

You giggled as you walked the hallways of the JYP building, making your way to the GOT7 practice room. Dialing Mark’s number, you held the phone to your ear as you waited for him to pick up.

“Hello?” Mark answered.

“Hi babe, I just wanted to ask what time you’d be home. I’m making dinner tonight for your birthday!”

“Oh um, tonight we’re actually working late on the new comeback. Can we do dinner tomorrow?”

“But Mark, your birthday is today!” You frowned.

“It’s okay, really, as long as I celebrate with you I don’t care when we do the dinner.” Mark replied with ease. “Don’t wait up for me.”

He ended the phone call before you could say anything else. That was strange, he always ended his calls with I love you. Shrugging away your doubts you held the balloons and cupcake box in your hand getting ready for his surprise.

Before you could enter the practice room you heard two voices, Mark’s and another girl’s.

“Was that her?” The girl asked, unimpressed. “She’s so clingy.”

“Yeah, it’s fine though I got her off my back for the night so we can go out.” Mark replied nonchalantly, “so baby, where should we go tonight? I am the birthday boy.”

The girl giggled and you heard them kiss. Horrified, you dropped the box and balloons and bolted down the hallway. He was cheating on you!?

— later that day —

Mark pulled out his keys, slowly opening the door. After his night out, all he wanted to do was crawl into bed. As he walked around in the house, it seemed like you’d changed things around, he made a mental note to ask you about what you did. Turning on the bedroom light, he was surprised to find the bed neatly made with a note on your bedside table.

Happy Birthday Mark, this year I figured I should actually grant you your wish. Your freedom. This afternoon I went to drop off a birthday gift, but from what I overheard I realized that our relationship wasn’t what you truly wanted. At least now we can both move on with our lives and be with who we actually want to be with. Don’t bother trying to call me, I’ve changed my number. I hope now you can finally be happy, Y/N

Mark rushed to the your dresser to find all your stuff gone. He tried the bathroom and found all of his stuff as he left it, but yours had vanished. Running to the living room he turned on the lights to realize you hadn’t redecorated the apartment, you’d erased yourself from it.

Sinking to the ground he felt like a hole had been punched through his chest. What had he done?

⇒ jackson

“How could you do this to me?” You asked heartbroken. “Why did you do this to me?”

Jackson wanted to race over and scoop you up in his arms and assure you it wasn’t your fault, it was his for being so stupid. But he couldn’t. He knew that he had to give you your space.

“I’m sorry Y/N,” He said quietly. “It didn’t mean anything.”

“It means something to me!” You cried. “Of all the women in the world you just had to sleep with my best friend?!”

“You were gone, and I felt so useless after my last album tanked.” Jackson admitted. “I just wanted to feel good about myself.”

“Fuck you.” You spat out bitterly. “This wasn’t about you, it was about me. You just couldn’t live with the fact that you failed, and you had to drag me down with you. You slept with her just so you could hurt me. Well guess what? Mission accomplished. I want nothing to do with you”

And finally Jackson had stepped back to see the damage he had done. He’d absolutely wrecked the woman he claimed to love, and the effects were irreversible.

“Get out! Get out now!” You screamed at him.

⇒ jinyoung

You sat numb at the foot of your bed as Jinyoung frantically tried to explain the situation. You hadn’t meant to look at his phone, but when he was in the shower he’d gotten a text.

Thinking nothing of it you unlocked his phone to find an unknown number messaging him a picture with the caption, ‘I can’t wait to repeat what happened last week xoxo’. The picture was a selfie of some girl in her lingerie. When Jinyoung heard the thump of his phone hit the floor, he quickly ran out of the shower alarmed at what had happened. When you looked at him he knew, you’d caught him.

“Sweetheart, it’s not what it looks like.” He said calmly approaching you.

“It looks like you’ve been having fun.” You replied staring at the wall ahead of you as if it was the most interesting thing you’d ever seen.

He knelt down in front of you, slowly attempting to take your hand in his.

You jerked your hand back as if he’d burnt you. “Don’t.” You said as you gritted your teeth. “Don’t touch me.”

“Swee–Y/N, please, she’s just some fan who got my number.” His voice sounded desperate.

“You’re lying.” You looked at him, he looked taken aback when he saw that the warmth in your eyes were long gone. “Tell me the truth.”

“Okay, okay. We slept together once, and I swear I was going to end it but she was just so relentless–“

“Don’t Jinyoung.” You held up your hand, having heard enough of this bullshit you stopped him. “Stop trying to act like a victim. You’re a grown man. You wanted to have an affair and you did.”

You wiped the tear rolling down your face that you didn’t realize was there. “I’m done with you. I’m leaving now, but I’ll come get my things eventually.”

“Y/N please! Stop.” He stood up to go after you.

“I can’t even look at you right now.” You kept walking towards the front door. “Have a nice life. We’re done.”

⇒ youngjae

“What the hell is this?” You show Youngjae the article of him.

The headline reads, JYP Entertainment... Company or Matchmaking Service? GOT7’s Youngjae and TWICE’s Mina spotted holding hands.

“Y/N, you’re being so crazy.” Youngjae scoffed. “You know that this is from last week, it’s just a publicity stunt to promote our comeback.”

“Have you seen these photos Youngjae? Your holding hands, your hand is on her thigh in this one.” You remarked, “It doesn’t seem like a publicity stunt to me.”

“I can’t even talk to you right now, you’re so controlling.” He said bitterly. Walking away, he closed the bedroom door.

Was he right? Were you being crazy?

— two weeks later —

After finishing your morning targets, you were excited to head home early. Relax with the TV, maybe cook some dinner, the possiblities seem infinite.

As you entered your home you could hear moans.

“Oh yes!” A girl cries out.

What the fuck...

You can hear the creeking of the bed through the wall. You walk slowly to your bedroom to see the scene unfolding.

Youngjae and Mina screwing in your bed.

“I fucking knew it.” You said.

“Y/N oh my god!” Youngjae yelled. He struggled to get out of bed and chase after you. Putting on his sweats he caught up to you.

“You called me crazy and controlling!” You cried out. “You’re so fucking sick.”

Youngjae grabbed your arm, “Y/N, please darling.”

“Don’t call me that! Just don’t call me at all.” You yanked your arm out of his grip and continued walking out. “I can’t believe I trusted you. I knew you were cheating on me.”

⇒ bambam

It was supposed to be a fun night out. But here you were on a Saturday night, back at your house with Bambam. As you helped Bambam with the black eye Yugyeom had gifted him, the knot in your stomach grew.

You were at the club with Bambam, Yugyeom and his friend from SM Entertainment, enjoying the music and some drinks. Yugyeom couldn’t stop glaring at Bambam, his eyes fixed on him the entire night.

“Are you and Yugyeom okay?” You leaned into Bambam’s ear.

“Yeah, we’re fine. We just had a rough week.” He brushed it off, “Do you want a drink?”

“Yes please,” you nodded “you pick.”

As soon as he stood up, Yugyeom followed. “Are you getting a drink? I’ll go with you.”

You watched as the two friends walked to the bar, leaning against the counter. You watched as they conversed, the exchange seemingly getting more tense.

You turned to Yugyeom’s friend “I’m gonna go check on them.”

As you headed up to the bar, you caught the tailend of their conversation.

“I’m fucking tired of this shit Bam, if you don’t tell her, I will.” Yugyeom threatened.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Bambam brushed him off.

That set Yugyeom off, he turned to Bambam and swung at his right eye.

“Oh my god! Yugyeom, what the hell!” You yelled.

Yugyeom watched as Bambam stumbled back from the impact of the punch. “This night was a bad idea. I’m leaving.”

You watched as he headed to his friend and they took off from the club.

You turned to Bambam, “Let’s go home.”

That was how you ended up tending to the big bruise on his face. No doubt JYP was going to have questions about that on Monday. Still, your mind couldn’t help but drift to what Yugyeom said, if you don’t tell her, I will.

As you finished helping Bambam, you watched him retreat to your room.

“Bam...” you started, “what was Yugyeom talking about?”

“Huh? What are you saying?” He turned around, confused.

“At the club, he said if you don’t tell her, I will. What was he talking about?”

“Oh you heard that?” Bambam replied, “He was drunk, he didn’t know what he was saying, hell, he even punched me so that should tell you how sober he was feeling.”

“Bam, he had one beer. He wasn’t drunk. Clearly whatever this is about upset him enough to take it out on you,” You pressed. “I want to know.”

“Y/N, back off. It’s none of your business.” He dismissed you. “Drop it.”

“Don’t talk to me like that,” you snapped. “I’m not some obedient housepet that you can order around. It was clearly about me and I want to know.”

“Fine, you want to know? I’ve been seeing someone behind your back.” He snapped angrily. “Yugyeom wanted me to tell you.”

And just like that, the genie had been released from the bottle. Everyone knows once it’s out, you can’t put it back in.

“What?” You were in disbelief.

As the realization he’d confessed to his sin washed over him, Bambam’s tone shifted. “Bae, I-“

As he struggled to find the words, you began to laugh. Of course he was cheating on you. It was time to finally face the fact that your relationship had been spiraling downwards for a long time.

“Are you laughing right now?” He asked, his eyebrows raised. “I can’t be-“

“No. It’s my turn to speak.” You stopped him.

As he sat on the couch you realized that this was it. This was the beginning of the end.

“This relationship has been torpedoing towards the end at 150 miles per hour, and we’ve just been prolonging it. Honestly I can’t believe I didn’t figure it out sooner, you’ve been so distant and sharp with me.”

“I-“ Bambam started.

You held up a hand signaling you didn’t want to hear it. “You were never like this, I just kept convincing myself that it was the stress. But it was you, and me. We changed.” You mused aloud. “And now here we are. Your best friend punched you in the face and I’m laughing at the fact that you’re cheating on me.”

In a sort of haze you felt your feet carry you to the door. “I need to go.”

“Wait Y/N, where are you going?” Bambam asked, his voice full of concern.

“I don’t know, I just have to leave.” You stated, as you headed out the door.

⇒ yugyeom

This was it. Now or never. You walked into the cafe, as you spotted her. The woman you thought Yugyeom was cheating on you with.

You stood behind her in line as your mind raced with questions. Who was she? How far had she gone with him? Did she love him like you? When did all this start?

“Miss? Are you ready to order?” You awoke from your daydream as you realized the woman had already ordered and it was your turn. Rushing to the register, you ordered the first thing that came to mind “Hi, can I get an Ice Choco?”

Rushing to stand next to the woman, you dropped your wallet. She knelt down to pick it up and hand it to you.

“Here you go,” she smiled.

“Oh thank you,” you nodded uncomfortably. As you reached out to take the wallet, she noticed your bracelet, an anniversary gift from Yugyeom.

“Oh hey! I have the same bracelet. My boyfriend got it for me.” She commented. “Men, of course they shop from the same places.”

“Oh yeah,” you agreed. Nervous, you fiddled with the bracelet, “So your boyfriend got it for you?”

“Yeah, he gave it to me a couple of weeks ago. We actually only started seeing each other two months prior.” She beamed.

“Oh wow, so you’re a new couple?” You asked.

“Well, I’ve known him for a pretty long time. I’m actually a backup dancer at JYP.”

Your heart sunk, you knew that this wasn’t a coincidence. “Wow that’s very cool.”

“Yeah, I’m actually supposed to be meeting him here,” she lowered her voice to a whisper “he’s in the group GOT7!”

Okay, maybe it’s not Yugyeom, maybe it’s Bambam, or Youngjae, or... As your brain tried to rationalize the situation, you couldn’t deny what you saw with your own eyes. 

Yugyeom at the door of the cafe.

As he registered the fact that you and the girl were in the same cafe talking to each other his eyes froze on you.

“Gyeomie!” The girl squealed. “I just made a friend, I think she’s a fan.”

As you watched Yugyeom swallow, he slowly walked over to you.

“Y/N,” Yugyeom started.

“Wait... you two know each other?” The girl asked.

“He’s the one who gave me my bracelet.” You answered. You took off the wretched item and placed it on the counter.

“One ice choco!” The barista called out.

“If you haven’t gotten the memo,” you said taking the drink from the counter, “we’re over.”

You uncapped the drink and threw it in his face, storming off from the cafe.

I hope you like it! If you want me to change something you can send me a message!💕

Type: reaction

Mark:

He was always on the quieter side especially with new people so when Jackson first introduced you to the other members your open and loud personality annoyed him. He couldn't even exchange a few words with you without wanting to leave, which you noticed. All the members made an effort to learn about Jackson's most important friend for the time being but he just seemed to hate the idea. It wasn't until Jackson once forced you to take care of him when he was sick that you met again. And somehow both of you felt guilty for not showing more interest earlier as you go to get a coffee together. Eventhough it was hard you tried your best to keep quiet especially the few times he tried to talk. After this meeting whenever he looked at you all he could see was your happy smile and how you could cheer up anyone with you personality. He didn't noticed but it made him fall hard.

Jaebum:

Jinyoung said it before you met Jaebum, you were really conservative and didn't liked piercings or tattoos nor did you understood the new lifestyles of people. It's not that you didn't tried to understand but all the people you knew that were like this struggled at some point. So when you met him, still having both his face piercings and looking a little too alternative for your liking you didn't really tried to be friendly to him. Jaebum really hated that people still were like this in such a modern world. But after hearing some stories of Jinyoung on why you behaved like that he tried to be as understanding as he could. His friendly and understanding talk then changed your behaviour to the loving and kind person you actually were. This new side made him fall in love with you heads over heels.

Jinyoung:

He always had more traditional ways of thinking, whether if it was about love, marriage, lifestyle or children. He liked his was of growing up and preferred them to new ones. So it wasn't a miracle that he wasn't too keen of your tomboy look. It wasn't that you couldn't be a great friend but he always tried to push you to be more feminine. He definitely didn't meant this in a bad way but more as reflex. After months he maybe got used to your looks and less feminine habits, that was when he realized that it didn't matter at all because this had nothing to do with your personality. So as soon as he noticed he let himself get more comfortable around you which you gladly excepted and showed him new sides of you. He felt closer to you than to the members in a short span of time which was enough to make him think different of you. As soon as he started to see you as the woman you were he noticed how much he liked you, letting himself fall in love with you completely.

Jackson:

Nobody understood why Jackson didn't liked you, everyone even expected you to get along because of your similar characteristics. This wasn't the reality though, the reality was that putting you in the same room isn't the best idea and could lead to serious fights. One day one of the members asked him what he didn't liked about you and honestly he couldn't answer. He felt uneasy with you which caused him to react a little unfriendly towards you. After the walk with the members he asked you to go drinking with him to which you agreed. This night was the turning point as he couldn't look at you the same way he did before.

Youngjae:

You were the complete opposite and somehow it made it really hard for you to get along. It's not like he didn't tried but you weren't really in the mood to try get along with someone this different. He gave up after that and lost his complete interest in making you both work out. It wasn't until you got a dog that somehow fell in love with coco that he spent time with you. You both loved your dogs so you wanted the best for them and the best was that they could see each other, which made you both meet at least three times a week. After a few awkward meetings you started talking to each other, you now put effort into becoming friends with him and somehow this made him feel warm around his heart.

Kunpimook(BamBam):

You got annoyed by his childish behaviour so you tried your best to ignore him which resulted in him not liking you. The other members easily got annoyed by you ignoring each other, finding it somehow childish but also were scared of what would happen without this. The still challenged it as the locked you into a room while playing truth or dare one evening. Maybe it was the alcohol in his blood that he complained about you ignoring him which you then explained to him. After that he tried to change a little, but you already excepted him. You learned that he was more than his childish behaviour sometimes and started spending time with him more than with the other members. And the he found out that it was easy to fall for you when you're being your true self.

Yugyeom:

There was no reason why he didn't liked you, he didn't even act on it. Bambam had to tell you that he once spoke bad about you for you to notice that he didn't liked you. After that you were a little unfriendly to say the least, he immediately noticed it and without wanting to it annoyed him. He wanted you to like him eventhough he didn't liked you himself which resulted in having a talk with you. After he found out the reason for this he apologised to you and then even asked to be friends with you. This was only okay for a few weeks before he noticed how lovely you actually were which made him fall for you easily.

Jinyoug x reader.

Domestic AF.

A/N: Just something that came to my head while I was doing nothing. English is not my first language if you find any mistake please tell me :) I didn't edited anything because if I did I'd lost the courage to post. sorry

People always expect that kind of relationship that we see in movies. That excited smiles that comes when you are chasing each other around the house after make a mess in the kitchen when you are trying to do the dishes. Or all those weekends spend on the beach or in a little cabin on the countryside where you can be alone and dedicate 24 hours of your day to your loved one.

That why Jinyoug thought that he wasn't going to get into a relationship for a long time. He cherish every alone time he had. He likes to seat in the silence with the company of his book, past hours just focusing on the words in front of him. He likes to watch a movie without a comment about if it could happen in real life. He enjoys just have his time to think on his own.

But everything changes after Jinyoug met you. Or even better, it didn't changed that much. He never felt the pressure to forget about himself so he could dedicate his time to you. Even when you too have those Rom-com's cliches time, time like this is when Jinyoug knows that he can spend the rest of his life with you.

The room is totally in silence while you are doing something on your cellphone while he has his book in his hands. He isn't reading nothing tho. He was watching you seated on the other side of the couch, with you legs over his. Completely absorbed in your own world.

You never cared if you have to interact that much, it never matter if you two was doing your own thing, as long you were doing it together.

"I like it..." The deep voice broke the silence and your eyes focused on him, indicating that you are hearing "Being with you, like this... I really enjoy it."

You smile and get closer to him to give him a little kiss in his lips. He take this moment to hold you closer so you could cuddle a little.

"What you think about you move in here?"

Even Jinyoug get surprised by his suggestion.

"Move in? I thought you are the kind of guy who enjoys being alone..." You teased remembering how he moved out of the dorms so he could have a place just for himself.

Pairing: Jackson Wang (GOT7) x Reader

Genre: Fluff, enemies to lovers (kinda), fake dating AU

Word count: 4,3k

Summary: When your family’s yearly gathering was coming up, you didn’t want to go really. Not wanting to end up going alone again, you happen to tell your parents that Jackson is your boyfriend. The problem was that Jackson didn’t really like you. Oh, well.

You were happy with your life. Anyone hearing this sentence would think different things. Think about things that make you happy. Some people might say it’s their family, their friends or even their pets. Others might say even trivial things such as ice cream or just a sunny day. For some people, true happiness means a perfect life. A great family, a job you loved and someone in your life who loved you more than anything in this world.

Your life was far from that perfect world. But that didn’t mean that you weren’t happy. You really were. You were a regular university student who studied arts. Something that your family didn’t really approve of. They wanted you to study something sophisticated like your sister, Yuna, who was two semesters away from becoming a doctor. Your family was wealthy but after hearing your plans to go after your dream to have an art gallery with art from all around the world, they decided to not pay for your tuition for college.

It didn’t matter to you. You said that it was fine. Your mother was a bit more accepting than your father but they weren’t really proud of telling their friends about you. They preferred to talk about your future doctor sister and gloated about it.

Remember the perfect life that was mentioned earlier on? Perfect family, perfect boyfriend and all that. Your sister did have that (even though you thought that her boyfriend was kind of a douche). You didn’t have a boyfriend or a degree that could make you rich. You didn’t want to cut your family off though. You still went to the annual family gatherings they arranged every year. It was a pain in the ass, honestly. Everyone judged you for what you were doing with your life. But you didn’t care about their opinions. You were still a part of this family.

You could say that you were kind of the black sheep in the family. But at least you were doing something that you loved. Your university was a few hours away from home, so you weren’t always reminded of the fact that you were a disappointment to the family. Your friends in university did not judge you. No one really did. There were a few exceptions but doesn’t every university have those kinds of people?

You also were close to graduating. You mainly focused on arts in your studies but you also took a few courses about business strategies. If you wanted to become successful, business sure helped with that. You were pretty confident when it came to mathematics and numbers so the course was really easy for you. You took it with business majors and even they were confused. How could an art major be so smart? Their words, not yours.

Jackson Wang was the best in all of his courses. He was smart, handsome and bound to be an amazing businessman, taking after his father. He was the heir to his father’s company and he wanted to do a perfect job when he took over. He studied for all of his exams like crazy and aced every single one of them. But then you happened. An art major who took a business class just because you felt like it. Jackson didn’t usually have any competition in his classes but in this class, you seemed to be a natural in. The professor liked you and he didn’t understand why.

In every test, you were better or as good as him. It annoyed him. He made sure you knew that. You were always trying to stay positive but Jackson made it hard for you to do so. You knew about his reputation, the rich heir of the Wang Empire. Everyone knew him and his goals. His future was written for him by his dad.

Your family was, as earlier mentioned, wealthy too but not like his family. He could even buy this university if he wanted to. You heard that he wasn’t that stuck up as a person. Apparently, he was a really nice person towards everyone and he was fun to be around. He wasn’t only popular because of his money. It was really confusing because seemed to hate you for some reason. 

He liked to tease and make fun of you. You tried not to really think about it too much. You honestly had more important things to think about than stupid Jackson Wang. Your mind was completely somewhere else. This year’s family gathering was soon and you were already preparing yourself for some huge headaches. Another year of your family telling you that you should at least find a boyfriend. You were tired of this. You sometimes wished that you had a boyfriend just to shut them up.

Why were they even so interested in your love life? A reason for that was for sure your sister. Since she had everything your parents wanted, they expected you to have that too. They gave up on convincing you to change your major but they at least wanted a good boyfriend for you.

You liked seeing your family but you didn’t want to hear the same things over and over again for the next 10 years.

You were on campus. It was a sunny day and you sat down on the grass and breathed in the fresh wind. Then you noticed two people sitting down a few meters away from you. Jackson and Jinyoung. The two of them were best friends and studied the same thing. Jinyoung was a chill guy but Jackson was kind of an asshole. Not kind of. He was an asshole for sure.

“Yo, Y/N. What are you doing here all alone? Where are your friends? Do you even have friends?”, Jackson said and laughed.

Jinyoung laughed along. “Stop it, Jackson.”

You rolled your eyes. “Ha. Ha. So funny, Jackson. Didn’t hear that one before!”

Just for your information, you did have friends!

Suddenly your phone rang. “Hello?”, you said after picking up. You noticed that Jinyoung got up and walked in the direction of the cafeteria. So, you sat there, alone with Jackson.

“Hello, dear!”, you heard your mother’s voice from the other side of the line. “You know our family gathering is this weekend, right? I’m expecting you to come!”, she said in a cheery tone.

She was always so enthusiastic about these gatherings, you didn’t even understand why. “Yeah, I will be coming.”

You then heard your sister’s voice in the background. “Are you coming alone again? Alex will come again this year, maybe you should bring your boyfriend.”, she said and laughed. “Oh, I forgot you don’t have one!”

You were mad. You hated her sometimes. She was such a bitch when it came to showing her perfect life off. “What do you know, huh?”, you said in an angry voice. You felt Jackson’s eyes on you, clearly hearing your conversation.

“What? Are you bringing someone with you this time?”, you could hear her smirking.

“Yuna, will you stop now? It doesn’t matter if she brings someone, even though it would be nice! Just bring yourself, dear.”, your mum interrupted you.

“What if I am bringing someone?”, you said, slightly panicking. You didn’t even know what you were saying. You did not have someone to bring with you!

“Oh, really?”, your mother said in a surprised tone. “Do you have I boyfriend?”, she asked you in an excited voice.

“What?”, Yuna said, clearly annoyed.

Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t fucking say it! “Yes. I am bringing my boyfriend…”, you looked around full of panic and found Jackson, again staring at you. “Jackson!”, you said and Jackson jumped a little in surprise, looking at you with a confused expression. “Yeah, my boyfriend, Jackson! I’ll see you on Saturday, bye!”, you quickly hung up.

Fuck.

You said Jackson! Out of all people. You looked at him in horror as he got up and sat next to you. “Did I hear that right? I am your boyfriend now?”, he said, still confused. “Why the hell did you say that? Do you want to get popular or something? Are you spreading lies?”

You rolled your eyes. “Don’t flatter yourself. Why would I tell everyone that we’re dating? I panicked, okay and you were the first guy I saw.”, you then sighed.

“Okay, will you explain the situation to me then? Because it involves me, I think I deserve to know why you said that.”

You sighed again and looked down, a little embarrassed. “My family has this yearly family gathering. We meet, talk, have fun and catch up. My sister has this annoying boyfriend and she is about to be a doctor. She’s the daughter my parents always wanted. I study arts as you know and it’s not something to be proud of and every year I go alone.”, you now looked at him, still feeling hot from embarrassment. “They kind of accepted the fact that I won’t be a doctor or something like that. But I didn’t want to listen to them talking shit about me for not having a boyfriend again. My sister made fun of me on the phone and I panicked and said your name.”

Jackson didn’t know what to say. He thought his family was thoughtless but yours seemed to be worse.

“I’m sorry. I will call them and say that it was a joke.”, you said and gave him a little forced smile.

“Your family really does that? Every year?”, he asked you curiously.

“They make fun of me, every. Fucking. Year.”, you rolled your eyes. “But I’m sorry about that.”

“No! You know what? It’s next weekend, right? I will help you… If you help me!”, he quickly said, waiting for a response.

“What could I possibly help you with?”, you said, with a confused expression.

He smirked. “Fail the next test in our business class. It boosts my ego.”

“What? Why?”, you didn’t know why he wanted that.

“Well, I am usually the best in all of my classes. I cannot have an art major take my spot.”, he smirked again. “…Or you could at least tell me what your secret is?”

You laughed a little. “There literally is no secret. My brain just understands business things, I guess?”

Jackson sighed. “Why didn’t you choose a business major then?”

You looked up to the clear, blue sky. “Everyone asks me that. I just enjoy drawing, painting. Everything that lets me be creative. I dream to open a gallery someday. Maybe you can visit my gallery one day. I know it might not be that easy…but I will at least try.”, you said and smiled.

You looked way more approachable when you were smiling, thought Jackson. “You’re doing something that a lot of people are afraid to do. You’re following your dream. You should be proud of that.”

He didn’t even know why he said that. Why was he so nice to you? Maybe he pitied you, for having such a horrible family. Your life didn’t seem as easy as his life was. From a young age on, Jackson always knew that he would take over his father’s company. It’s like there was no other thing. He never thought about doing something else. Seeing you made him think about that more.

You were in your own little world but you still were realistic. You didn’t care about other people’s opinions. That’s what made you interesting to Jackson.

“You know what? Okay, I guess I can fail that test if it makes you happy. Will you pretend to be my boyfriend next weekend, please?”, you asked Jackson and gave him a sweet smile.

He cracked a smile too. “Okay. I will be your boyfriend. I will be a great one too!”

You held your hand towards him. “Deal?”

Jackson smirked. “Couples don’t shake hands.”, he said and put his arm around you.

“Wow, you really have no boundaries, huh?”, you said and laughed.

“Nope!”

“We need to plan our relationship though. It has to be believable… My parents would like you anyway. You have money and a good family name. These are the only things that matter to them.”, you speak out the sad reality.

“Okay, let’s do this!”

So, you did.

According to your plan, you have dated for 7 months until Jackson finally asked you to be his girlfriend on your 4th date. You met in your business class, which was technically not a lie and he was immediately interested in you. He kissed you on your 3rd date and after that everything went smoothly. You just hoped that the story was believable. He was ready to meet your family. You warned him about every single one of your family members. You had some cousins that were after men all the time. Jackson had to stay away from them, even though it might be hard for him. You noticed that he was very affectionate and touchy.

He thought that it was a good idea to go on a fake date before, just to see how far you could go as a couple. You told him that hand-holding and hugs were fine. If it were up to him, he would’ve kissed you the whole time. He told you that he thinks that kissing was way more believable.

You said no. At least not when it wasn’t necessary.

He surely did not shy away to touch you. You went to an indoor ice rink for your fake date. He held your hand, helped you up and he even held you close when you were about to fall.

You noticed that your cheeks were getting redder every second. You blamed it on the cold air. Let’s be real, you were a total noob on the ice. He had amazing balance and looked very good on the ice.

“Jackson, will you stop doing those cool tricks? I feel like a loser next to you!”, you said and laughed when he nearly fell on his face.

“Guess my attempt to impress you failed, huh?”, he said and skated close to you and grabbed you by your hips, softly. You noticed some girls looking at you two with jealousy in their eyes. They probably thought that your ‘boyfriend’ was very cute.

Your breath hitched for a second. “Uh, yeah!”, you said, too quickly. “You don’t need to impress me, though!”, you assured him.

“I want to!”, he smiled and then took your hand. “I am your boyfriend, after all!”

“Fake boyfriend.”, you corrected him. “You don’t need to do that much.”

“Yeah. Right.”, he said. You swear you saw his smile falter. Maybe it was your imagination.

The second fake date was just an evening in Jackson’s apartment. He had rented a very luxurious apartment close to campus since his father was rich as hell. Why would he live in normal student dorms? You didn’t feel uncomfortable though. Jackson opened a movie on Netflix. You didn’t really concentrate on the movie.

“It must be a shitty feeling… to be the next heir to a huge company, right? Well… I mean the people judge you pretty quickly.”, you said and pulled the blanket Jackson gave you close to your body.

“I got used to it. They think that I do nothing. But I’m working towards my degree. My father didn’t just hand me the company. I’m working on business strategies and ways to be a good CEO.”

After getting to know him better you admired how he handled judgment. You were, in a way, really similar. You never thought that you would ever say that. He handled judgment different than you. He was judged for being ‘spoiled’, a ‘rich kid’. You did think that of him too. But he works harder than anyone else for his dream. You didn’t listen to anyone either and did what you thought was right and so did he. “You are really inspiring, Jackson. Never change and always follow your dreams, okay?”, you smiled at him and put your head on his shoulder.

Jackson tensed up a little but then slowly put his arm around you. “We both should do that and prove everyone else wrong.”, he whispered.

You slowly dozed off on Jackson’s shoulder. “Mmm, yeah, that sounds good.” Before you knew it, you were asleep.

Jackson noticed and put the blanket over properly. He slowly pressed a kiss on the top of your head. “Good night, Y/N…”, he whispered before closing his eyes too.

Before you knew it, the dreaded weekend arrived. You felt closer to Jackson after accidentally spending the night at his place. It wasn’t that awkward anymore but there was still a certain tension from Jackson’s side. You didn’t really know why.

You got out of Jackson’s fancy car. You walked up to him. “Wait, let me-“, you walked closer to him and fixed his tie. “Aren’t you handsome?”, you grinned at him. “Are you ready to meet them?”

Jackson smiled at you and took your hand. “Yeah. Let’s do this.”

His hand felt warm in yours and you became conscious of how your heartbeat quickened. You shouldn’t feel this. It’s not like you were dating for real.

Your mom opened the door, full of excitement. “Y/N, dear!”, she said and hugged you tightly. “And you must be Jackson! Welcome to the family.”, she hugged him as well. “Come in!”

You introduced Jackson to everyone (even your annoying cousins). Everyone was very positively surprised that he was your boyfriend. More like, they asked themselves how Jackson would date someone like you. It was clear that he was more popular than you were in your own family. Your sister seemed to be very annoyed. Alex, like the douchebag he was, didn’t even sit next to her. He was too busy talking to important people on the phone. He was a lawyer, that was the reason your family never said anything about him.

Jackson on the hand was by your side, the whole night. He held you close to him and always spoke highly of you. His touchiness seemed to be helpful for once. You liked the feeling of his arm around your hip. He made you feel protected and special.

Now that your parents’ interest was for Jackson, your sister was frustrated. You didn’t give her any attention. You just enjoyed the time with your family. For once no one said anything about you.

Until now. “So, Jackson, why would a guy like you date an artist like Y/N?”, one of your annoying cousins asked him. With an artist, she actually meant loser.

“What’s wrong with being an artist?”, Jackson said and looked at her. “I like her the way she is.”

“It just… doesn’t seem to fit for a man of your caliber.”, she added. “How long were you dating again?”

“5 months.”, Jackson said at the same time you said, “7 months.”

Why did Jackson mix it up now? Was he nervous?

“I meant for 7 months. Time passes quickly when you spend it with the woman you love.”, he said and gave you a genuine look that made your heart skip a beat. At the same time, you wished that this was real.

You heard a few “aww’s”. Your sister didn’t seem to believe anything. She seemed to be skeptical of every single thing you said.

“And you know what? Y/N is doing something she loves. I support her no matter what, as long as she’s happy.”, he added with confidence in his voice. You looked at him with gratefulness in your eyes. You couldn’t be happier to have him by your side right now.

After dinner, you and Yuna helped with the dishes. As you washed the dishes, she dried them. “So, how did you arrange this? The relationship is totally fake, isn’t it?”, she said while smirking.

You rolled your eyes. “Are you jealous that my boyfriend actually gives me attention?”, you said in a monotone voice.

“I will expose you. I didn’t think that you were this desperate to lie, just to get validation from mom and dad.”, she fired back.

“Shut up.”, you said quietly.

“What?”

“I said, SHUT UP!”, you said louder. “You don’t even know what’s going on in my life. Who are you to tell me that my relationship is fake?”, you washed and dried your hands. “You are telling me that I am trying to get validation? What about you, huh? You didn’t even want to become a doctor and you are dating an asshole just because he is a lawyer! So much for validation, huh?”, you finally said and leaving your sister speechless.

Before she could answer, you walked out of the kitchen to the garden, just to run into Jackson. “Hey, I heard some things… Are you okay?”

You took a deep breath. “I just told Yuna what I think of her. I should do that more often. Thank you for worrying, I’m fine.”, you said and put your hand on his cheek. “You have been nothing but kind to me. I don’t even know why you’re doing all of this.”

Jackson looked in your eyes. “I don’t know either. I guess I just like to see you smile. I’m here to make sure that you never lose that smile of yours. Never doubt yourself. You are better than all of these people in that house. You stayed true to yourself.”

You smiled even more. “Thank you.”, you whispered.

“Don’t. Don’t thank me for this. It should be self-evident. You know what? I don’t even want you to fail that test.”, he grinned.

“Good, I wasn’t planning on failing anyway.”, you laughed.

Jackson knew that he loved your smile but he liked your laugh more. “You’re a cheater.”, he laughed too. 

Then there was a comfortable silence. You turned to Jackson.

What you did then, felt right. You didn’t even know how it happened. It’s like there was a force that pulled you two together. You put your hands on his cheeks and pulled him close to you. Then your lips met with an incredible force. It was like you were aching to feel his lips on yours. His lips felt soft and he was an amazing kisser for sure.

He then pulled you closer by wrapping his arms around your hips. It felt like your heart was going to stop any minute. Jackson knew what he was doing.

For the first time in forever, Jackson felt like this towards a woman. It was supposed to be fake but it sure as hell didn’t feel like it. His last few relationships didn’t even feel like this. As you stopped kissing, he looked at you with an expression that said: What now?

“I don’t think this was for show…”, you said with a quiet voice.

“I like you.”, Jackson finally confessed. “I like you a lot and it honestly scares me a little.”, he said in a shaky voice. He did it. He told you.

Your eyes started tearing up. “Sorry…”, you wiped the tears away. Oh no…, Jackson thought.

“I like you too, Jackson… It wasn’t only scary to you.”, you said and took his hand. “Why don’t we try this out? And if it doesn’t work out… that’s fine too. But I cannot pretend like nothing happened after that kiss. I want more of those!”, you said with a huge smile on your face.

Jackson grinned. “I can give you as many as you want!”, he smiled at you and gave you another kiss.

After that family gathering, you brought Jackson to the next ones as well. Yuna told you that she broke up with Alex. You talked it out. She confessed that she was jealous of you, not because of Jackson, but because of the fact that you were brave enough to follow your dreams in a family like yours. You handled the judgment and heard shit all those years but you simply did not care. She admired that about you. 2 years later, she found another boyfriend who later became her husband. He wasn’t rich, he was just a normal office worker with an average salary. But she loved him more than anything in this world. Just like you loved Jackson.

On campus, a lot of people were surprised that you and Jackson were dating. People got used to it quickly and your fake relationship became a real one. You never regretted kissing him that night.  

6 years later

“Jackson!”, you shouted. “Please help me hang this up, this piece is super heavy!”

“Of course, baby!”, he quickly walked to your side and you hung up a painting that you have bought from an artist in Italy.

You might ask yourselves now what happened in these six years? Well, you did struggle after graduating to find a job at first. Jackson still supported you. You decided to travel the world for a year with Jackson. You met a lot of amazing people along the way and you found a lot of inspiration. You painted a lot and met different artists as well. That led to the day you opened your own gallery. You cried a little when you finally opened the gallery. You bought a lot of paintings for your gallery and now it is a modern art gallery that had a decent number of visitors every day.

“That painting looks great.”, Jackson said and looked at it with an impressed expression.

“Yeah, I got it from Massimo in Italy! He finally sold it to me.”, you said proudly and turned to your, now, fiance. 

Jackson gave you a long kiss. “You deserve all of this...”

4 years after you and Jackson became a couple, Jackson’s father stepped down as the CEO of the Wang Empire. Jackson was more than ready to become the new CEO. He came with a fresh mind and had plans for the company. He made more profit in two years than his father made in 4 years. He was awarded with numerous prices for his innovations as a CEO. Sometimes you wondered how you were so lucky to find a man like that. It must have been some kind of destiny. If you didn’t say his name out of panic that day, this would have never happened. Your family was good for something for once.

He asked you to marry him 2 years later and your wedding was soon. It felt like a dream but it wasn’t. What once was a dream for you became a reality. 

Oh, by the way. After opening your own gallery, you never heard any negative comments about your job ever again at the yearly family gathering. Thank god you never gave up.

Black Kpop stans know what it is. For those of you who don't know. The Cookout is not a bbq it is more than that.

The Cookout is a family gathering and everyone is there. Your granny and grandpa, your uncles and aunties their kids your great aunies and their kids. Some people from church and family friends. Being invited to the cookout is a privilege and not anyone is invited.

I wanted to write this because I thought it would be fun and I thought about The Cookouts I had as a kid. And I also wanted to share my thoughts on Got7 and what they would do at The Cookout.

Gifs not mine. Credit to owners.

Enjoy!

Mark:

Yes ofc he's the L.A gangster. Is definitely playing basketball ball with Jackson and the other cousins. He might leave to go play with the children. Makes the kids smile and makes them listen and play bonding activities. Chases after the little girl who took his keys.

Jaebum:

Yes and he's a dj. Plays all the throw backs. Plays some new stuff too but no only grown folks are on this dance floor. When he takes his break he sits with the elders plays cards. Drinks a beer or two. Is hit on by the aunties or is tried to be set up with their single daughters. Even the elders appreciate his beauty. (Me stares at him all day)

Jackson:

possibly (still mad at him for last week) I was so upset with Jackson last week but I forgave him and he's invited to the cookout. Listen to when I say this.... TALKS TO EVERYBODY AND EVERYONE LOVES HIM. he's all over the place. One hour he's talking to the elders the next playing baseball. Then goes to the kitchen asking when the food is done. Gets yelled at for running in and out the house. Is getting hit on by the single cousins and the aunty who just got divorced. Plays cards or dominos with the elders gets a cigar offered and declines it. Then is on the dance floor doing the cha cha slide and the cupid shuffle.

Jinyoung:

Maybe (would he even eat the food?) Him being him he might bring a dish. I some beef with Jinyoung but out of respect and fear I invite him to the cookout. He'd definitely bring a dish because he's so humble and respectful (I hope it's not a casserole). He'd also help out in the kitchen or at least try to help. Learns how to cook soul food by granny and Aunty. Probably mess up the greens trying to put something that doesn't need to be in there and gets kicked out.

Youngjae:

idk...(but coco is definitely allowed and she can take a to go plate) I love Youngjae but I personally don't think he'd come to the cookout. For starters I can see him being so confused. I don't don't think he's ever been to a cookout. He probably will sit with all the aunties and just listen to the gossip and then get his cheeks pinched by them. Gets extra on his plate bc he's "too skinny" I also can see Coco being chased by some kids. (Lord please save Coco.)

BamBam:

Hell no we're boxing on sight (Yugyeom might bring him anyway) I have some personal issues with BamBam and I want to fight this man for reasons I connot explain. Just know we got some beef and he can't come. Yugyeom being the best friend he is brings him anyway. I wouldn't fight him at the cookout because that's just a no plus the L.A gangster will beat my ass. Also...HE LOST ALL HIS PRIVILEGE SO CAN'T TOUCH ANY RIBS!

Yugyeom:
