after getting dragged to an art cafe, your eyes slowly drift to the tall blonde sitting by the canvas next to you.

getting pulled to a strange corner by your friend, you enter a small secluded building that was filled to the brim with works of art.

your friend had made reservations to the art cafe without telling you, so you couldn’t say no for an answer.

even though your skills were mediocre, having fun was more important. or, so you thought.

you sat at the large canvas near the back of the cafe, while your friend joined the art lesson. grabbing the brushes and paint you needed, you realised that there weren’t any more aprons for you to wear.

not wanting to dirty your clothes, you were thinking about skipping out on getting to create your art work and to just sit there like a loser.

grumpily, you stomped your feet all the way back to your chair, staring at the blank, white canvas. you looked at the blonde next to you, who was swift-fully moving his wrists, painting roses with different shades of red hues.

you were completely zoned out. the blonde boy glanced at you, curious to why you kept looking at him with those irritated eyes.

he suddenly walks towards you, untying the knot that held his apron together and tapped you on the shoulder, to get your attention.

“would you like to use my apron? i don’t need it since i’m almost done with my painting.”

you locked eyes with the tall blonde, blood starting to gush towards your face. he had a nice side profile, but was so ethereal up close.

“thank you!”

your hands went to grab the apron, but the tall blonde snatched it back.

“i’ll help you put it on.”

you stayed silent due to not wanting to seem rude, even though you knew you could easily wear the apron on your own. why was he offering to help?

the boy tightens the string around your waist, tying a little bow at the back.

“all done”

the tall blonde gives you one last smile before heading back to his seat, picking up the brush he put down earlier to start adding the finishing touches to his canvas.

not knowing what to paint, you suddenly thought about strawberries and cats. that’s right, you were gonna draw a cat !

you started to outline your design and get to painting. the tall blonde chuckles, after seeing your mood go up by an alarming rate.

he picked up his canvas and left without you realising. when you were done painting, you brought your artwork to the front, getting ready to pay.

“ma’am, a kind gentleman has already paid for you.” the lady spoke.

your eyes were filled with confusion. who on earth would pay for you?

“what was his name?” you asked, being nosy.

“shen ricky. he’s a regular customer!”

after today, you were surely gonna visit this art cafe more frequently in hopes of meeting ricky again to thank him. plus, to admire his face.

-

“why are you in such a good mood today y/n. weren’t you the one complaining about me dragging you here?”

you smiled, thinking back to when ricky helped you with the apron.

“uhhh, are you gonna ignore me?”

summary: being best friends with kim gyuvin meant you were dragged along for many of his strange adventures, including meeting his trainee friends as yuehua one day after school. what happens when you meet the lovely trainee named ricky?

a/n: I'm listening to "I Don't Understand but I Luv U" by seventeen, and can I say what an absolute masterpiece.

word count: 543

"come on, you said you wanted to meet them!" gyuvin exclaims, dragging you across the hallway at the yuehua training building.

"no, you said you wanted me to meet them", you reply, rolling your eyes lightheartedly at your friend's excitedness.

you had met gyuvin upon joining the nearby high school in the middle of the year, following a move into the city with your parents, and he was assigned to give you a tour of the school, introducing you to all of the important people.

to him, it didn't seem like much, only a nice gesture for someone new to be able to settle into the new environment more appropriately, but to you, it meant a lot, knowing you had someone to look out for you, and from that moment on, you knew you and him were going to be wonderful friends.

gyuvin had proposed the idea that you meet his trainee friends at yuehua so you could meet more people and gain a wider friendship group, practically insisting that you met his younger friend by the name yujin.

if he had to put up with gyuvin's clinginess just like you did, you felt sorry for the younger boy.

moving back into the present, gyuvin opens the door to one of the training rooms where seven other boys seemed to be, four particularly exhausted after running the same routine over and over again until it was practically perfection.

"guys!" gyuvin shouts, gathering the attention of the seven trainees, "I brought my friend, y/n, the one from school I told you about!"

the trainees all nod, remembering how excited gyuvin had been when telling them he was going to bring you one day to practice, one trainee in particular looking at you a lot longer than the others.

they had all gotten up to greet you, learning your name, and sharing theirs in return, brian, yoo seungeon, ji yunseo, zhang hao, han yujin, ollie and finally a blonde guy named ricky, whom just looking at had you blushing.

"my name is ricky", he says, grabbing your hand and shaking it lightly, "and you, are beautiful".

the room explodes with screams and sounds of disgust coming mostly from the youngest pair, whilst you simply duck your head, attempting to hide the growing pink blush on your face.

"okay, okay" zhang hao interrupts, the authority in his voice silencing the room quickly, "ricky, that was horrible, never do that again" he continues, apologising lightly to you.

"oh! its okay!" you laugh in return, sneaking glances at the blonde boy, trying to look at him for longer because if you were beautiful, he was stunning.

gyuvin takes you away from the boys, setting your bag down before running back to ricky, hitting him lightly and proceeding to hug him.

you smile at the boys interactions, unaware that someone was also sneaking glances at you, trying to hide the warmth spreading around his neck.

maybe if you continued coming to practice with gyuvin, he would learn more about you and would be able to eventually ask you out, he wonders.

a masterlist for the 5th generation kpop boy group zero base one!

“you’re my angel, angel baby, angel.”

as the blinding sunrays hit your windows, ricky’s fluttering eyes started to open, leaving you speechless. the shimmery light melted in his cheeks softly, as his long lashes blinked at you thrice before closing them. your lover was drifting off to dreamland once again.

‘ricky, wake up’ , you pleaded. little did you know, there was no use.

the boy wasn’t usually the last one to wake up, but it was a saturday morning after all. letting him sleep in bed alone, you decided to get up and prepare breakfast. that was until a strong grasp stopped you in your tracks.

‘don’t leave me, give me five more minutes’

ricky pulled you closer to him and held you tight, not letting go. he snuggled his face into the crook of your neck, inhaling the soft jasmine scent that lingered off of you. giving you little pecks all over your neck and jaw, your pounding heart felt as if it was gonna jump out.

you giggled at the sight of your boyfriend being so clingy as he wasn’t usually like this. seeing as nagging at him to wake up was pointless, you decided to enjoy the warmth ricky radiated for a little longer.

‘alright, five more minutes’
