"james! omg thank you i love you so much" you coughed out while lunging forward to grab the drink and bag of snacks your boyfriend got you as he stepped into your bedroom through the door. your eyes were red and sore alongside your throat being a constant pain in the ass, hurting you every so often."i love you more , and your welcome baby, i got you the nerds clusters you like as well as some other things and theres some tea for your throat." he spoke as he slowly took his shoes off and climbed into your bed beside you and slipped his arms around your waist. he rested his chin on the top of your head,putting your face on his neck, grabbing the back of your head to anchor himself. "have you taken your meds? i need my pretty girl all healthy." he cooed. "yes i did." you sniffled,looking up towards him. "good. how long until your next dosage?" he asked you, eyelashes gently batting at you. "about 3 hours, why?" just wanted to stay so i could help you." he murmured "awh, baby you don't have-" you started having a coughing fit. james sprung up to hold you and steady you until your coughs had slowed down. "sit up for me, baby?" he guided you upright and passed you a cough drop to numb the pain. you took it and winced at the sharp sting on your tongue.

"want to watch something?" he asked. "no, it'll give me a headache." you breathed out. you softly leaned into him and lightly gripped his shirt sleeve. you coughed a little more gently and rubbed your eyes. james' eyes softened and he frowned slightly. it hurt him to see you tired and unwell like this. "awh, baby i've got you it's okay," he spoke while gently rubbing your back, "drink the tea it'll help and maybe lie down." "yeah i should." you croaked. he dragged you softly onto your favourite plushie of rainbow dash, lying next to your head. james got it for you and got you a rarity one to match which was currently in his hand.you groaned as you shuffled into his arms once again, you nudged one of your legs over his, clinging to him.

he placed your two my little pony plushies above your head and he watches as they lose balance and fall onto your face, he laughed softly while moving them out of your face and next to head primarily where he was laying and you felt him shake through pressing yourself onto his chest. he played some music from your shared playlist and lied down next to you. "so how long have you felt sick?" "a week" you replied while grabbing his arm. "awh baby, you got your medicine recently so you should be better quick." he spoke,softly. "yeah lets hope."

james shifts to his side and leans slightly over you, watching you rest in his presence, he leans his head down to press soft gentle kisses all over your face. one on your cheek, another on your forehead, a further on the tip of your nose. he's deliberate on where he kisses you, making sure he won't get sick as well but still manage to make you feel better with distractions. "baby stop you'll get sick" you whined. "i..." kiss to your temple,"dont..." kiss to your cheek, "care." with a kiss to your chin. you give a weak protest and try to push james off of you but he doesn't move once, he just keeps pressing kisses to your face.

your phone buzzed, "can you pick it up for me please?, it hurts my eyes when i look." you passed the phone over to your adoring boyfriend. "yeah of course,my love...it's just your friends saying they miss you." he offers the phone to you. "oh okay,can i see?" james tilts the phone towards you and you hiss sharply as the screen sores you, hurting your eyes even more " ow! shit that stung, can you reply saying i miss them too please?" "done!" he smiled as he placed your phone on your bedside table. "thank you my love, if they text just ignore it, it'll hurt my eyes a bit more otherwise." james looked over to you and looked across your face before resting himself on your head.

"awh baby, your eyes are so red, do they feel okay, my love?" he murmured into your skin. "yes they feel good, no need to worry james... lie down with me? your really warm." you lied down, pouting in his direction as gentle coughs overtook you as you settled down. "okay okay" he lies down and you immediately go to grab his waist and slip yourself to his side, burying your face into his neck. his hands made his way to your hair,not pulling but just resting there, gently occasionly running his hands through. "your really comfortable james" you mumbled, voice laced with sleepines. "mmh, really?" he laughes, gently. " yeah can we stay like this?" " of course, baby." he smiled towards you. he pulls you closer into his chest and you can smell his cologne and feel his heartbeat through his clothes. his head leaning down onto yours, making you able to feel his breath on your cheek, as you instinctively matched your breathing to his.you instantly felt soothed by spending just a few mintues in his warmth.

you cough some more before settling into quiet stillness with your boyfriend and sighed knowing you felt like shit but knowing james was there made you feel infinitely better.

james always did romantic things for you. buying your favourite flowers whenever you slept over at his house or buying some food you like and dropping them at your door " just because ", always complimenting your hair or your outfit everything you posted yourself on instagram and even sometimes slipped in a "my girl" when the two of you were with each other. the thing is, james didnt think much of it, he didn't realise how it made you seem like a couple. for you, it made you feel incredibly flustered. you always felt your breath catch when you looked at him, your heartbeat speed up when he gave you things and your legs jolt up when he complimented you or called you his. you always seemed to blush a deep shade of red whenever he was around. your entire friend group noticed as well, teasing james on how oblivious he was while laughing at your panic of being exposed. thankfully, nobody told james how much you liked him, it was like a big group inside joke and your best friends always commented on how you stared at him or followed him around like a lost animal , or the few times where he hugged you goodbye and how they laughed at how frozen you were, eyes blank and stumbling around, helplessly.

it was 4:28pm and james and his friends had plans but he decided to invite you because he knew you'd like the place he was going, you gladly accepted and james said to meet him there. you made your way over to your bathroom and washed & styled your hair into small waves and put your makeup then making your way over to change into a grey lace cami paired with your favourite baby pink jacket that you knew was james' favourite and a short black skirt you bought a few hours earlier. you took a quick picture to put on your instagram story, you added the song "come back" and immediately james replied to it.

let me be YOUR fool

is that the jacket i love on you?

you look so beautiful, can't wait to see you 😌

you felt your heart speed up reading his messages.

im your fool and yes it iss!

see you soon james

as you stepped into the little bar, you found james with his friends and greeted them with bright smiles. "hii,how've you been!" you asked keonho while shortly making your through the group with finally taking a seat next to james."hey james! you look nice, is that top new? i like it" you cooed at him. he gave you a warm smile and you automatically gave him a smaller one back. " yeah it is, i thought you'd like it, anyway would you want a coke? martin said he'd pay for them." he replied, no concern on how romantic it seemed that he picked an outfit he thought you would like. you nodded for a coke and watched as james' friends all went to the bar to order drinks, seemingly looking behind them over to you and laughing at james' cluelessness to it. he was the most obvlious bitch in the world. he turned over to face you, knees bumping into each other, staring at your face. "you look really pretty tonight, i saw your story and saw how bright your eyes were and thought holy shit you look so beautiful and its like more real right now because your right here, you know?" he looked up to meet you staring right back at him, "your eyes are so pretty, they're one of my favourite things about you" james spoke out. your leg shot up and your face flushed. you huffed out a laugh. james had just said how beautiful you and your eyes were and you have to deal with it normally? your heart throbbed as you couldn't just say thank you with a "my love" at the end and give him a kiss and move on but just say thank you. you breathed in and tried to find the words "thank you! oh my god, that's like the kindest thing anyone's ever said to me, i fucking love you, james." you froze. "really? i never noticed." he murmured with a clueless expression on his face.

"yes, i love you so much, i've liked so fucking much and so fucking strong i probably love you. your my best friend, james i think your the most handsome boy ive ever seen and i just fucking love you and you've never seemed to notice how long i stare at you or blush around you or post pictures of myself with love songs so you'd notice me. so i hope you realise now how much i do love you." you snapped out. you didn't regret a thing from confessing, it was eating at you for so long, you just had enough. you breathed out a sigh of relief when you heard his own breath hitch and how he let out a small smile. " i noticed, trust me,baby..." he shifts a little closer to the point one your legs is between his. "come here" he leans forward and gave you a calm, gentle kiss. he pulled back slightly to see your reaction, "ohh you do blush" he laughed before moving his mouth back to yours, more deliberately before returning to short kisses. "i love you too, my love" he breathed.

the group of boys had returned with drinks, jeering on how long they had waited for james to realise and how all excited they were for the both of you, handing out drinks as they spoke. the evening went on quickly filled with warmth and as you were headed home, you heard loud footsteps and turned to see your new boyfriend, slightly out of breath with rosy cheeks from the cold, grabbing onto your hand. "i just wanted to say bye." he pressed a warm kiss onto your cheek and pulled you into a soft hug. "goodnight baby" you whispered. your heart felt content as you saw his face light up and you went to continue on your way back home.

little a/n yap - hihi thankyou for readingg, i hope you did like it, i find i adore the first paragraph and the rest went to shit. i had to channel my inner first love and how i yearned to confess to him to write the confession but i dont fw cheaters. and i love the song, come back, its so peaceful. grammar police please dont get me, im a youngho 😓

anyways have a good rest of your dayy and ily 🥹

greengreen had just dropped and you were sitting next to james until the little notification popped up on multiple streaming platforms that the album had released. you gasped and gently hit james' arm. "you bitch! why didn't you tell me greengreen was releasing today." he just seemed to shrug and laugh it off.

"im sorry, i thought you knew it was today." he replied calmly.

"i didn't know the time! anyways since your here want to listen to it with me?" you asked, eyes blinking softly. technically james had listened to it countless times while recording but for you, it's new and he didn't want to disappoint you.

"sure, you better like it though." he softly threatened. "yeah yeah" you replied while already searching for the album on spotify. after a few seconds and when your about to press play, you shift a little closer to james before mumbling "okay im pressing play, please shut up for uhh... 15 mintues, im about to experience art." he smirked at your words subsequently lying back, anxiously anticipating your reaction.

TNT - <𝟑 .ᐟ

the song filled the room and you saw james gazing at you knowing you could have any reaction in the world but you absolutely loved the few moments you heard. "i love the instrumental, it's so fitting to the song." martins voice started the song off strong and you grabbed onto james' hand as you stared at your phone screen intensely. "you guys sound great, oh my god, this guitar is addictive too." you start rocking along to the beat and hear james laugh, pausing and giving him a stern glare you return to sitting still and just simply taking in the music. you glanced over occasionally to watch how james studied the song, even though he'd listened to it countless times but still analysed, checking for any flaws even though there was none.

REDRED - <𝟑 .ᐟ

when the opening 10 seconds started playing your head turned to face james. "oh my god this is so good. play this in a club and id be in a flow state." "really?" he laughs with a smile on his face. you nodded eagerly while shuffling closer so you can copy the slight choreography he's doing. you watch as he sings the words lightly to himself, getting more into it as the song goes on. you listen to the lyrics and feel the energy they put into recording.

"hey did you know im singing this part?"

"yeahh i recognise your voice it sounds good as shit james." thanks

you began singing redred & greengreen as you managed to pick up the lyrics and the slight dancing you tried to copy off james which wasnt going that smoothly.

"redred... that's redred... that's redred... greengreen" you mumbled along, quietly but confidently. "you'll have to teach me this you know?"" okay i will." the song comes to an end and you stick up your thumbs and smile " that was good! i really like it"

ACAI - <𝟑 .ᐟ

"whats this one?" you ask while leanings forward to check the songs name and reading acai.

you burst out a laugh and james looks confused and blinks softly wondering why the songs so amusing.

"your fatasses made a song for acai?" he turns his head. "yeah we did what about it, you probably like it more than us so your the fatass." he places the bowl of acai he had held up to you down softly laughing st himself. " speaking of which here's the one I got you." " oh my god james thank youu. " you set it aside next to his and listened to the words, noticing the way acai is mentioned so often. you found it funny and showing how unserious they could be while also being able to have so much success. you listen out and heard seonghyeon mentioning how much he likes acai and james had to give you a look. "i know he's not confessing his love for acai right now. don't fucking play."

you continued to smile and laugh quietly at the unexpected lyrics and heartfelt love for acai and slowly ate your own.

YOUNGCREATORCREW - <𝟑 .ᐟ

"wait oh my god youngkeukeu! teppanyaki on my mac i go young keu keu" you hummed lightly and motioned your hands as it was spoken , "oh you learnt the dance?"

"no, i copied from those videos you released a bit back if tou think i can do what your doing then you'll be severely humbled. my abilities extend to this and this only." "oh." he smiled and motioned for you to look at him "ill teach you watch" he waited until the next chorus and did the most basic version of the choreography he could think of and tried to keep himself together watching you fumble with your hands and give up "it's not fair you keep staring at me" suree, just try to not think of me."

" im not even doing the dance anymore and all im thinking of is you singing even though i know its not."

"good." " oh okay?"

the beat went quick and you picked up james' voice and pointed as he laughed at the obvious "yes im singing here."

the backs & heads started repeating and youngkeukeu was repeated once again and you rocked your head along and saw james smiling at you.

Wassup - <𝟑 .ᐟ

the instruments started playing and martin started singing and you instantly felt nostalgic for a moment you wasn't sure even happend.

"this is nicee , its like joyride and go mixed together. like the lyrics and vibes of joyride but like fast and energetic like go you know? and the visualise for this was so nostalgic. i saw that video and keonho was singing this part, you know whats wassup"

"its very calming id get faded to this"

"you would?"

"yes who wouldn't its genuinely making me ascend . "

"im glad you like it"

"the lyrics are really interesting too"

you heard the line, the line that made you fall in love with the song even more than you had with all the previous songs. "oh my fucking lord james i love this, might be my favourite."

Blue Lips - <𝟑 .ᐟ

the faint water sound as you heard martin sing felt calming.

" isnt this martins song?"

"yeah it is."

"its really good , i can like feel it in a way you know?" james simply nodded in agreement.

"i saw keonho swimming as the visualise and its very fitting. its very melancholic in a way too, its bringing like a different side of you guys but in a good way. martin did good with that, i imagine everything leading up to this was difficult as shit."

the melody continued and it brought a sense of peacefulness in contrast to the other upbeat songs that played, you listened to the group speaking and felt drawn to the poetic sense it brought. you briefly closed your eyes and took a deep breath and exhaled as the song came to a end and felt a tranquil sense of your surroundings. the atmosphere changed and you could feel the pain being spoken about through the phone absentmindedly watching james face blankly stare, rembering his own days as a trainee.

the music stopped playing and james was practically shaking with nerves... "did you like it?" he asked. you turned to face him and watched how stiff he was, desperately hoping the hard work payed off. "yes of course! i love it james. you and the rest did so good. its very cortis." he exhaled a sigh of relief and his face lit up immediately. he was so thankful you thought it was good and instantly felt better about himself. you grabbed your phone to send texts to the other members congratulating them on the ep and their hard work towards it amd how good it sounded while subsequently wrapping your arms around james. caught off guard it takes a few seconds before returning the hig back to you. "you deserve it. and look its already got so many listeners." his face lit up as he hugged you back with an element of shock on his face as he sees the number be much higher than the redred numbers a couple days prior.

so you and james just settled down as you continued to play greengreen on loop watching as all the social media posts flooded both of your feeds.

notes - im so sorry oml i haven't had any energy to write but i finally did it 😌 i hope you like my contribution to the greengreen release and thank you so much for liking my other fics like omg i love you all <3 it really kept me motivated!

istg i love greengreen soso much, especially wassup & redred 🙅‍♀️ they're my absolute favourites and hopefully im more consistent of writing as of now 🥹
