#yuqi fluff

before you could learn how your shoelace were untied, you stepped on it, immediately losing balance and crumbling to the group with a pop sound coming from your foot and a yelp of shock. yuqi saw your fall and stood up in a haste, rushing to you.

she gasped, mind running a mile a minute as she crouched down to your level. you were clutching your right foot, muttering curses in every language you knew. the pain was immediate, a sharp sting resonating in your ankle, your brain was two seconds too slow in comparison to everything happening.

yuqi’s voice sounded muffled, a high frequency sound hurting your ears and overloading your senses. her eyebrows were close in a deep furrow and a downturned frown was on her lips. she ushered your hands away, leaning down to examine your ankle.

your ankle seemed to be bruising by the second and yuqi came to the easy conclusion that your ankle was either sprained or broken. you could barely make out her words as her arm slipped under your knees and other on your back. it was something related to “ice pack” and “sprain maybe.”

upon visiting the nearby clinic, you were told your ankle is sprained and yuqi sighed in relief that it wasn’t a fracture. you insisted that you’ll be fine, it’s just a sprain but your girl was hellbent on taking care of you.

she layed you down on her bed, resting your foot on a pillow. she had a google search covering the entire screen of her laptop on what to do when you sprain your ankle. mind you, she had already asked the doctor three times on what to do at home, taken note of it all three times to make sure she didn’t miss anything.

holy devoted to making sure you heal as easily and as quickly as humanly possible.

“baby, this is so unnecessary!” you whined as she set up ice packs that covered every square centimeter of your right ankle and the skin around it. you winced at the cold temperature, “see! this is totally necessary, you’re hurting!” she said, voice deeper than it is on a regular basis because of concentration to ensuring the ice pack didn’t fall.

you rolled your eyes, with no annoyance behind it, as you knew she was being extra out of the sheer love she had for you. “whatever. i demand cuddles.” you made grabby hands at her, as you know, being super cared for easily brought out the childishness you had.

she giggled at your motions, “fine, fine. let me give proper elavation to your ankle and then i’ll be rightt beside you, yeah?” you groaned as she mentioned another step of taking care of you, like no, just give the wounded girlfriend her cuddles! you thought.

after double— no, triple checking the ice packs, the pillow elevation and the position of your ankle; she finally decided everything was set and crawled up beside you. “tell me if it hurts, okay? if you feel any sort of pain at, i don’t know, three a.m.— i should be aware and awake. wake me up.” she told you with stern eyes.

“yes, i got it, mom!” you made a pop! sound at the mom to apply some emphasis to the word. yuqi just let out a fake offended scoff, “mom? i’m mommy, not mom!” you gasped at her, “don’t tell me you have a mommy kink . . .” you burst out laughing and her hand instantly went to your thigh so that your ankle didn’t change positions.

“seriously?” you made an unimpressed expression at her, “i take my caretaker girlfriend duties very seriously.” she replied, reciprocating your sassiness. “i can tell.” you continued further. “well, do you like it then?” she asked, looking at you with anticipation.

“no. i lovee it, super duper much.” you whispered, leaning in close to her ear. she flushed immediately as your breath fanned her skin, but ultimately recovered just as quickly, “and guess what? i love you.” great. now you’re a blushy, giggling mess.

yuqi soo loved taking care of her pretty girlfriend when she got injured. it was pretty evident. and safe to say, having a sprained ankle really did hurt less when it had a meticulously crafted arrangement of ice packs and lots of cuddles.

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ regulars! @woniefication @shyoko @yooniso ☆ SEND AN ASK TO BE ADDED !

“It’s Yuqi...I can ask her to come another time if you want?” Jiwoo added, seeming to read Yuri’s confused expression. Jiwoo didn’t know that Yuri and Yuqi had dated, but she figured that something had happened between them, since Yuri had never mentioned her anymore.

“No...it’s okay. Tell her I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Yuri whispered, shock still going through her veins, and she swore she had never gotten out of bed faster, she probably had gotten ready in record time as well.

She didn’t change out of her sweatpants and oversized hoodie, but she had taken care of her hygiene, she didn’t really mind on how she looked at the moment, because Yuqi had seen her bare-faced and with heavier eye-bags before.

She slightly hesitated before grabbing the door’s handle, cringing at the slight squeal the door made, biting her lip to hold back the smile when Yuqi’s face was revealed.

Yuqi and her hadn’t seen each other since February, and no matter how many times Yuri had sworn she was over Yuqi, all of the butterflies and love that she had for Yuqi came rushing back when she saw the small smile that Yuqi had adored on her face.

“Is it alright if we go into your room?” Yuqi quietly mumbled, smiling when Yuri had nodded and let the girl in, and guided her into her bedroom.

“Sorry, it’s a bit of a mess.” Yuri chuckled sheepishly, moving the piles of the clothes that were littered around her floor to a single corner in her room, gently smiling at Yuqi once she had finished.

“I’m sure my room is messier.” Yuqi nervously laughed, hesitantly sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling when Yuri joined her.

“You are probably wondering why I’m here…” Yuqi mumbled, looking over at Yuri and quickly looking away when they had made eye contact.

“I well...I want to tell you something.” Yuqi whispered, and Yuri had barely heard her, but she still nodded nevertheless, urging the girl to continue.

A pit of nervousness had begun to form in Yuri’s stomach, the uncertainty of what Yuqi was about to say had made her head spin. She had definitely not expected the next words to flow out of Yuqi’s mouth.

“I’m in love with you.” Yuqi uttered out in a rush, and Yuri had quickly raised her eyebrows, Yuqi...loved her? Yuri could feel excitement bubbling in her stomach, she had craved to hear those three words from her previous lover for so long, but the longer she stared at Yuqi, the heavier her chest felt - her heart remembering all of the pain from the night she kissed the girl of her dreams goodbye.

This was what she wanted, right? So why isn’t she happy hearing this?

Yuri watched Yuqi’s face slowly drop from her reaction - which was clearly not the one she anticipated, and Yuri wanted nothing more than to reach out, to feel the smooth lines on the girl’s palm, to embrace her into her arms, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. The air was too stiff, too tense to allow for Yuri to move any muscles in her body.

“After you said ‘I love you’ when we broke up...I can’t stop thinking about it. That had been the first time you said it. And it could have been the last. But I don’t want it to be the last, I'm not ready to give you up.” Yuqi whispered, tears starting to pool in her eyes. The hurt im Yuri’s chest started to turn into anger, seeing the girl who broke her heart, begging to be let back in. How could Yuqi, show up out of the blue, after months of no contact? Claiming she was in love?

“You hurt me.” Yuri whispered, looking down at her hands, the sight of Yuqi crying infront of her becoming unbearable. Even if she was angry, she still cared. She couldn’t let her weakness betray her, and allow her to take Yuqi back without a thought, because that would only end up with her heart broken again.

“You broke your promise.” Yuri continued, after a moment of silence. “You told me you wouldn’t let anything get in the way of us, but as soon as thing started getting scary, you left me.” Yuri couldn’t help it, she knew that she was being irrational, that Yuqi was hurting too, but she couldn’t swallow everything that happened and pretend it was fine, because it was very far from fine.

“I had to, Yuri! Don’t you understand? We- I could have lost my job!” Yuqi exclaimed, frowning when Yuri only shook her head and scoffed. “What, do you not care if I got kicked out of my group?”

“I care just as much as you care for my well-being, Yuqi.” Yuri said, and as soon as she said it, she wished she could take it back. She knew it was harsh - but she couldn’t stop herself. “I texted you, every single night, begging for you to just send me something, anything. You told me that I could call you when I felt like everything was falling apart. You told me you would be there for me - but were you?” Yuri asked, nodding when Yuqi slowly shook her head, too stunned to speak.

“I love you Yuqi, and I want to be with you, but it hurts to be with someone who breaks their promises.” Yuri finally said. Yuri had thought this for a long, long, time - but she never could bring herself to say it, fearing that Yuqi wouldn’t haven’t wanted to talk it out. Now that she told Yuqi how she hurt her - it felt like weight was leaving Yuri’s chest. Like she could breath again.

“What did you want me to do? Tell my company I was in love with you? Drop everything just to be with you?”

“I wanted you to fight for me, for us. That’s what I would have done. I would have found a way for it work. I always put you first, whenever you needed me, I was there. But you never put me first, Yuqi. I’m not telling you to quit your job - i’m asking you to at least to pretend you care about me.” Yuri pleaded, tears finally escaping her eyes. She couldn’t let Yuqi walk all over her anymore, she needed to stand her ground. Even if that meant loosing her.

“I do care about you! I’m here, aren’t I?” Yuri couldn’t believe the ignorance of the girl she though so much of - is this how she really thought? Did she really think this small amount of care was enough? Yuri felt completely blindsided. She felt this feeling before, many times, but with other people. She never expected Yuqi to make her feel this way, which only added to the pain.

“After three months! After three months of avoiding me! Am I too much of a burden?” Yuri asked, a sob escaping her lips when Yuqi didn’t say anything - confirming her worst nightmare. Fear of being a burden was the reason why it was so hard for her to open up for Yuri. She could feel her chest begin to close in on herself again, the reality of the situation starting to come clear to her.

The girls didn’t say anything for awhile, letting the bitter silence overtake them while Yuri cried. She couldn’t believe it. Yuqi’s true colors were finally starting to show - and every word that Yuqi spoke was like a knife piercing through her heart, and to make it worse, it didn’t even seem like the girl cared.

“You don’t love me. You can’t love me.” Yuri finally breathed out, breathing in sharply before continuing. “You don’t know how to love someone like me. And i’m not going to sit here and watch you force yourself to love me.” She finally looked up, sighing when she saw Yuqi’s puffy eyes, her lip quivering.

“Is it over?” Yuqi asked, but she didn’t need an answer. She already knew. Without a word, without a goodbye, or a hug, she left. Again. She left Yuri all alone, crying and distraught.

When she heard the front door shut, she let all of her locks on her emotions free, allowing herself to sink to the floor, freeing all of the tears and all of the sobs - letting out all of the heart wrenching screams her throat trapped inside her for so long until it went dry. She let everything go, until two pairs of strong arms lifted her up from the floor, rocking her back and forth until her breathing slowed down.

Yuri didn’t have to even look up to know who it was, there was only one person who Jiwoo would call when Yuri started loosing control of everything - Mingi. The boy who knew Yuri like no other.

“What did I do Mingi? What did I do to be so unloveable?” Yuri asked in between her sobbing fits, her entire body shaking as more tears rolled down her cheeks.

“You didn’t do a thing to deserve this. You are loveable, Yuri. I love you - she just wasn’t the right person. And that’s not your fault.” Mingi whispered, frowning when his words made Yuri cry harder.

“I wanted her to be the right person. I don’t think I can ever stop loving her.” Yuri didn’t think that any of this pain would go away. How could it? How could any of it go away, when Yuqi was the only person Yuri ever dreamed of loving for the rest of her life? How could she just move on?

Mingi didn’t say anything, knowing that Yuri needed this silence to gather herself, gently running his fingers through her hair until she fell asleep. Mingi lifted the girl up, wincing when she felt lighter than normal, placing both her and himself in her bed, throwing the covers over the both of them. Mingi sighed as he looked over at his best friend, who was in so much pain to begin with - and now has an added heartbreak into the mix.

“You never deserved any of this,” Mingi whispered into the cold air, pulling Yuri closer to him and closed his eyes, wishing to the stars above him that Yuri would be able to heal all of her wounds before he fell asleep.

L ⇴ LOVE

She loved having someone to mess around with, you and Yuqi screamed trouble whenever the two of you were together. Your friends never quite knew what to expect when the two of you were together as mischief was never too far away. Yuqi loved that she could just be herself around you and do whatever she wanted to do, without anyone there to tell her to stop, only just to remind her to be careful.

M ⇴ MEETING

The two of you met during Yuqi’s early days at the company where you worked. You had spotted her walking around a little lost and offered to help her head for the right direction. Ever since, Yuqi had looked for you around the company, with those searches eventually being to find her best friend around the building.

N ⇴ NONSENSE

If there was one person in the world who would allow Yuqi to be her true, authentic self, it was definitely you. Around other people she sometimes felt as if she needed to still be a little guarded, but never with you.

O ⇴ OBSESSION

Yuqi was obsessed with how good of a friend you were to her, which left her wanting to be a good friend to you too. She definitely felt incredibly lucky being able to call someone like you her best friend.

P ⇴ PRECIOUS MOMENTS

The moments that meant the most to Yuqi were the ones when you hung out with her and the other members of the group. She loved watching her two worlds collide and as you got on so well with the other girls, it was the perfect recipe for success inviting you to most of the things that the group all did together.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS

If she needed advice, Yuqi would usually turn to you, knowing that you were the one that knew her the best. You could clear up pretty much any confusion that she had, easily able to put yourself in her shoes.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS

When you were working with the group, Yuqi made sure to make you wear your own personalised uniform to make sure that everyone knew that you were her best friend. Every member of staff knew just how close the two of you were, but Yuqi just wanted to make absolutely sure that they were aware.

S ⇴ SUPPORT

Being away from family, Yuqi relied on you quite a lot to support her, and you delivered every single time too. You tried to attend as many events as possible, whether it be fan signs, concerts, or sometimes even rehearsals, you liked to make sure that Yuqi knew that she had a familiar face cheering her on.

T ⇴ TRIPS

Most of the time, the two of you would trip back to China so that Yuqi could see her family. Quite a lot of the time they told her to bring you along when she flew home as they loved catching up with you too.

U ⇴ ULTIMATE

There was no one else that Yuqi trusted more than you, if there was one person that she could count on, it was definitely you.

V ⇴ VISITS

Because you worked at the company, you were able to visit Yuqi quite a lot when she was busy at work. It would be a strange day for her if she didn’t at least get one knock at her studio door at some point in the day.

W ⇴ WISDOM

She loved to pass on her cheesy advice to you, the more she could make you cringe with her wisdom, the better for Yuqi.

X ⇴ XXXX

Most of the time if the two of you were affectionate with one another, it was because you were trying to tickle one another. You didn’t care where you were, if one of you wanted to poke the other, you definitely would.

Y ⇴ YOU

You were her rock, Yuqi knew that she could count on you for absolutely anything.

Z ⇴ ZZZ

It was pretty rare for you not to spend the night whenever you and Yuqi did something together. Luckily for you both, Minnie never cared when you stayed over too, enjoying the extra company with you there.

---

As you wandered, passing between the familiar tall pine trees, you were scanning the horizon when your eyes fell upon a small girl - observing you silently whilst crouched behind a tree trunk.

The girl had porcelain skin, such pure and perfect ivory that it matched the snow. Her eyes and hair vividly contrasted this, strikingly dark. You had never seen someone like her. She resembled a doll.

"Who are you?" You inquired, approaching curiously. Her expression told you that you had caught her off-guard. She cautiously emerged, revealing her clothes from behind the tree - she wore a traditional hanbok, highlighted with tones of baby blue. You could estimate that she was approximately your age.

"I-I'm Yuqi. Who are you?" She responded, her voice almost a whisper.

"I'm (F/n). Yuqi is a pretty name," you commented, a statement which turned her perfectly round cheeks a warm shade of crimson. She swayed a little on her feet.

"Where do you live, Yuqi?" You inquired. It was only upon reflection a few years later that you realised she was practically in your backyard, but this had not bothered you at that moment.

Yuqi's interest shifted to the ground beneath her as she mumbled, "...nearby."

You examined her once more and realised her feet were bare and that she was standing on the cold ground with no protection.

"Aren't your feet cold?"

Yuqi avoided your direct gaze, responding eventually, "I like the snow."

But that statement seemed silly to you. Because you liked the snow as well, but you would never go out without wearing your boots.

Without thinking, you slipped off your shoes, stepping gingerly on the bare snow. Your socks grew wet as you offered your boots to Yuqi whilst beaming at her brightly.

"Just come back another day and meet me here after you put some shoes on at home. Okay?"

Yuqi's expression went through various phases. Initially, she stared at you in disbelief. Then, the doubt shifted to objection. She opened her mouth to refuse, but your sincerity was too much for her to reject. Finally, she accepted your shoes.

You clasped her free hand, holding it close to your chest. Even now, you could remember how delicate her fingers felt between yours.

"Even if you keep them, I don't mind. I'll wait for you anyway."

A smile warmed Yuqi's lips. It was the first time you had witnessed her smile, the kind which lit up her features. Although it was only a subtle smile, the image burned itself into your memory at that moment. Her umber eyes glittered, full of emotion.

"Okay, I'll come back soon," she agreed.

That night your parents scolded you for losing your boots, not believing the tale of the mysterious girl you left them with. No matter how you described her, they simply chalked it up to your imagination.

But each night for months, you strayed a little further into the forest than usual, seeking out your implausible friend.

Years began to pass. You took up sitting upon your porch and watching the greenery for movement, repeating it every night until it became a habit. Even as the story of Yuqi grew old and the details worn, you still sat out there with the company of a book or a warm cup of coffee.

Your eighteenth passed, and you still frequently checked the forest. It felt silly, but your connection to Yuqi had yet to be broken. You often dreamt of her, striding through the snow barefoot and wearing that elegant hanbok.

One particularly snowy evening, you sat on the porch whilst nursing a thermos filled with hot chocolate. There was inexplicable electricity hanging in the air, which provided a feeling of nostalgia. The forest was silent, pleasantly so. You watched as flakes of snow danced through the air. The sky was a pristine shade of navy, and the moon was full.

You were dozing off, the comfortable atmosphere lulling you to sleep despite the chill, stirring when you heard the crunching of feet approaching.

As you opened your eyes, you were met with a familiar face. It was none other than Yuqi, her cedar irises warm like honey.

For a moment, you breathed and blinked, your heart fluttering.

Yuqi had grown just as much as you had. Her slender figure was complemented with a white, glittery dress, revealing her velvety skin and collarbones. Her hair was glossy and straight, decorated with speckles of snow. She smiled, and you were suddenly mesmerised by her glossy lips.

As if to confirm her identity, she held your old boots in one hand.

"I'm sorry I took so long," Yuqi apologised, although her expression was full of joy.

"I-I…" your face warmed as you struggled for a response. You had dreamt of this moment for many years, and yet as it was happening, you had no idea what to say. She was more beautiful than you could have possibly imagined.

"A-Are you real?" You stammered. Yuqi giggled, stepping up onto the porch. She placed your shoes nearby before reaching for your hand, gently cupping it against her cheek.

Her skin radiated warmth. Touching her felt magical, electricity trickling down your arm. A flowery scent lingered around her. You took a shuddering breath.

"Does that convince you?" She teased.

Not really, you thought.

"Who are you?" You inquired numbly, entranced by the soft sensation of her cheek beneath your palm. A mysterious smile played on her lips as she responded.

"I'm not human if that helps."

You were hardly surprised. A comfortable silence pursued in which you drowned in Yuqi's gaze, trapped in her gorgeous half-moon eyes. Then, gradually, your interest flicked down to her peachy lips, which promptly heated the cold air.

Suddenly the ambience turned bittersweet, washing over you from head to toe.

"Are you going to disappear again?" You asked hesitantly.

Yuqi captured your hand, which still rested on her cheek, and gently interlaced her fingers with yours. Her expression was serious and sincere.

"I'm going to stay until Winter's over. And then I'll be back."

Her warm lips pressed a kiss to the top of your hand.

"I promise."

She kept her promise. Every winter night, you sat with her and held her hand, admiring the way her features glowed and becoming addicted to how she was impossibly sweet-smelling and warm.
