Drunk Nights | Lee Know

Pairing: nonidol!minho × fem!reader

Genre: strangers to friends to lovers AU, kind of a slowburn?

Warning/s: Fluff, cursing, alcohol consumption (stay safe everyone)

Summary: You are known for going to the same korean bar with your friend, but one night after you went there a chain of odd things happened. In the end you weren't even sure if you were drunk or not.

Word count: 2.6k

A/N: Everyone is always connected.

_______________________________________

You turned around feeling dizzy.

Your eyes fluttered open as you looked at your friend that was besides you. Leaning your body onto her shoulder in the process. Familliar lights flashing onto your face.

"Can we part our ways and go home now?".

You were drunk and not in the mood to stay there anymore with the loud-ish music and people's voices overlapping, in the end overstimulating your senses and not in a good way.

Your friend nodded laughing. "We could've stayed longer and ate all the meat on the grill left but okay." She said, all sulky.

You rolled your eyes. "Maybe another time, m'kay?" You hummed.

She picked you up supporting your body-weight with her arms. Since you were tipsy you needed help with walking so she, before you went away said your guys's goodbye's to the other people.

You completely forgot they were even there to be honest. You two went out and u finally inhaled some fresh air.

"Was it that insufferable for you to stay two more seconds?" She said in a teasing tone.

"I literally fell asleep there and you guys talked so much the meat probably got all soggy and cold." You said as you guys sat on a bench nearby.

You started laughing and your friend followed. "Should we go home then?" Your friend asked.

You nodded, simply tired from everything and everyone. You got and up and before going the opposite way you yelled to each other "BYEE!".

On your way to home you looked around you instead of your phone, knowing if you did you would probably get dizzy again.

You looked around, seeing a big tall building with a tv display playing a kpop song and a certain member on screen, that u didn't recognize but u still jammed to the song.

You also looked at the pretty lights put over the buildings's entrances, windows, and on the inside.

As you were walking you stopped for a bit and leaned down when u saw a cat strolling your way.

The cat made eye contact with you and you slowly blinked at each other. Of course you knew cat language!

The cat went near you as you spread out your arm, with not only your arm now spread but a warm smile on your face!

The cat rubbed their self against your palm.

"You're one cute cat aren't you??" You said, babying the cat in the process.

The cat purred indicating that they like the "spoiled cat" treatment.

("I'm surely gonna save up my money to get a cat after this") You thought.

The cat even after some time didn't seem to go away. You were pretty much sure it was a stray cat, which was a little relief considering you wouldn't want to be mothering a strangers's cat.

You were also happy that it was clearly a clean cat.

Then you stopped playing and petting your friend as you looked through your bag trying to find maybe some sort of snack.

Your face soon turned into a confused expression as u looked and inside there was a big piece of rolled up paper which seemed to have something inside of it.

You opened it, hoping that it wouldn't be something disgusting. You opened it and surely enough there was some meat stuffed into the tissue.

Your eyes went wide trying to remember what in the hell possesed you to do this.

"Mm im taking thiss" you grabbed a tissue and pushed in the meat.

"So yummyy" you said outloud.

("What the-") Your face turned from confused into dissapointed.

You probably embarrased yourself so hard. Then sobriety hit u. But atleast u had some meat to give to your friend over here.

The cat immediately, sniffing something went near you as you placed pieces of meat from a skewer on the floor.

The cat took it happily as they made a "mlem" sound while eating.

("You must be happy huh, eating so well."). That's when it hit you.

How much time did u spend on this cat?? You have to go home. You got up as the cat finished eating and looked at you.

You said bye to the cat, not remembering which time it was that you said bye today.

You started walking away, without noticing the cat was walking behind u. You suddenly stopped when u saw something.

It was a bracelet. You took it into your hands and analized it.

The main thing that caught your eye was the safety pin that was 'lached' onto the main part of the bracelet.

Other than that it was no different that an ordinary bracelet.

You got up scanning your surroundings and trying to figure out who might've dropped this.

But everyone was far away, even the people who could be considered close to you still had their distance and you couldn't possibly know who's it is.

You were confused, looking down at the bracelet slowly gripping it harder.

You put it into your jacket pocket and went on your way to home with the cat going besides you.

You turned your head and smiled.

"What should I call you hm?". The cat just continued looking forward.

"Maybe Pearl?" The cat suddenly stopped, and started licking themself.

"I guess yes." You said as you giggled.

Pearl kept licking themself so before you left u gave them another piece of meat and went.

When u finally got home you took the bracelet out of the pocket and dropped yourself on your bed.

You put it high up infront of your face.

("I hope I find whose this is..") You sighed as you put it away on the coffee table besides the bed.

You got ready for bed.

After some days, today day you barely woke up.

You needed to go to work but you were honestly not in the mood for that but oh well, not like you have much of an opinion on that.

After work at the company (you work for), you went home.

As you were dressing yourself cozy, you got a phone notification.

You looked and it was your friend.

"Wanna go to the bar later today? Some new people are coming with us."

"Sure."

Time to think about what you will wear there. You went infront of your closet. You opened it and looked inside.

One thing stood out the most, a red top with a short leather material skirt with red around the edges.

The sleeves were cut off and you took red heels as a pair and red glasses.

With that you paired your cašmir parfume.

You were on your phone and ate snacks until it was time to go.

You did your makeup beforehand because you were feeling fancy.

You put it on and looked in the mirror.

"Goddamn." You loved how you looked.

You quickly got your bag and a short jacket, when you took the bracelet and brang it with you.

As you arrived your friend was there and the guests were already inside so you two also went in (the room reserved).

You guys greeted everyone and they did the same although someone stood out.

A guy with fluffy hair, a sharp nose, medium lips, soft yet sharp eyes.

You of course the self-confident woman you are sat next to him and pulled your friend along.

Everyone started looking at the menu and so did you.

You pinched your friend's hand lightly as she looked at you.

You got closer to her ear and whispered

"Who is he?" You head-pointed to him.

She smirked as she said back

"A friend of a friend, he's never been in this bar"

you nodded.

"Do you know his name?"

"I don't know why don't u ask him yourself if you are so curious?" She giggled.

("That bitch") You thought (jokingly) as u laughed silently.

You turned back and started looking at the menu. Then you turned your head towards him and asked.

"What do you like to eat?" He looked around as he asked "Me?"

You nodded trying to stop yourself from laughing.

"Probably jjajangmyeon and for a drink an iced americano but since im eating jjajangmyeon im getting soju" He said looking and pointing at what he chose.

"Nice, also I forgot to ask, what is your name?"

You finally asked.

("Smooth") You wanted to high five yourself right now.

"Lee Minho, how about you?" He gave a slight smile before answering.

"Y/L/A/F/N" (your/last/and/first/name).

"Pretty name" he said.

"Thank you, yours is too!"

He looked at the table as the other people told to the waiter what you guys want.

That is when you saw his ears were pierced, not that that is a weird thing.

What caught your eye is the safe pin charm. You remembered the bracelet.

You reached in your pocket pulling the bracelet out and staring at it.

That's when you felt someone pulling at your sleeve.

"Where did you get that?" Minho asked in a panicked tone.

You looked at him. "On the streets, why?" Concerned.

"On the -- street?" He asked.

"Yes, yes"

"It's mine, thank you so much for finding it" His hand caressed yours as he took the bracelet from you.

"I'm so happy I found it then." You said as you smiled.

He smiled back putting the bracelet on his wrist.

Then the food came. You all stopped what you were doing to eat and drink.

You drank and by some time you got drunk.

You tugged at what you thought was your friend's hand. They turned their head towards you and you smiled.

When you turned your head you noticed it wasn't your friend, but Lee fucking Minho.

He looked confused but not dissatisfied and he looked more sober than drunk.

"Oh my god im so sorry" You said putting your hand away.

"It's okay." He said quietly.

You swore you could hear your heart beat in your ears.

That day you went earlier home with your friend going early also, and you said bye to the guests and Minho.

On your way to home u thought about what you did, what you said and how it could've ended different. You realized you were overthinking so eventually you stopped.

Then it hit you. You forgot to ask for his number. How could you forget?? You literally touched the man, ACCIDENTALLY without his consent and forgot to ask for his number in the end.

When you arrived home, you were making yourself food until you heard scratching on your door.

You immediately stopped what you were doing. You walked towards the door and sat next to it, listening.

The scratching still happening. You gained courage as you looked through the peep hole. There was nothing there.

So you opened the door. Your head dropped down and you saw Pearl.

You went down and looked concerned at them.

"Are you okay? Why are you here and how do you know where I live??" You looked at them making a finger gun pointing at them.

They just looked at you dead in the eyes when you turned around seeing if there is any food.

So you realized you have the food you were making, so you gave some.

Pearl ate it and after self-invited themself into your home, but you were okay with it.

You sat there hanging out with them, debating if you should adopt them at this point.

After eating your food you looked at Pearl who was playing with the hem of your tablecloth.

You decided to let them go out, but also go with them.

You quickly put on a cloak of yours and a beanie and some leather platform boots.

You looked and tried to remember each location you followed them to so you could try and meet them, out of your house.

Suddenly the cat started running away to a closed-off area, where a wall blocked your view.

You quickly ran, stopping once u reach an alleyway. Gasping for air, hands on your thighs.

You looked up seeing something you thought u would never see. Minho was there, crouched, petting and scratching Pearl.

You gasped audibly loudly, so he obviously turned his head towards you. You akwardly waved.

"Hi, heh" Came out your mouth.

He smiled akwardly.

"Hi?"

"What are you doing here?" You asked, breaking the short silence.

"I could ask the same thing, my friend here came to me" He said looking back at the cat than you.

You started walking towards him, stopping right besides him.

"Really? Pearl is your friend?" You said with a hint of excitement in your voice.

"Wow, you already have a name for her hm?" He said.

"OH ITS A HER??"

"Yes.. I often feed her when she comes to me"

That's when the cat looked at you. You blinked at eachother.

"Same.." You petted Pearl.

"It's getting a bit late now, but I'm so happy she led me here" You said looking at him in the eyes.

He hummed while nodding in response, looking back at Pearl.

"Will I be able to see you tommorow again?" You asked, letting those words spill out your mouth without thinking.

You looked at him to see him staring at you. He hesitantly replied.

"Yes if your friend is okay with it." You nodded.

On your way to home you pulled out your phone, urgently asking your friend to invite that annoyingly handsome Lee Minho.

She kept teasing you, but in the end she agreed.

You woke up to another day and as usual you went to work, ate, looked at your phone and waited for the clock to hit the time you had to go.

You, beforehand got all pretty and ready and when the time came you basically jumped to the bar in happiness.

You finally got to see a face of someone u wouldn't hate seeing everyday.

When you went in along with others and your friend you again, sat next to Minho. Not on purpose.

Yet, deja vu much?

But you promised to yourself you wouldn't embarrass yourself again.

You went along with your normal order, but this time without alcohol.

You don't know why you didn't, just didn't feel like the night I guess.

But Minho surely did, he got a bigger bottle of soju this time.

You tried to talk with everyone, even a little bit with Minho but your tries weren't very succesful.

After some time you noticed Minho started spitting nonsense.

He got drunk.

Greattt. Like it wasn't hard enough to talk with him before, how could you even get to him.

Is what you thought, until he approached you first. "Heyy pretty" He said as he pointed at you with his index finger, a wink splattered on his face as your eyes went wide.

You could very much clearly hear your friend laughing on your left side too, which didn't help.

"Minho do you realize what you are saying??" You said concerned for his image infront of the people and your friend.

"Mmm, doesn't matter." He spat out.

Your tensed muscles oddly relaxed.

"You know, I've liked you- although like is not a good enough word to express, I've loved you ever since I saw you."

You looked at him.

"Did something happen? Why did you want to get drunk Min?.."

"Bad" You looked at him confused as he looked at the table, food still on his plate.

"-Day." Your breathing and gaze softened.

"I don't know if it's a bad timing but I love you too." You said as he stopped looking at the table, his gaze now on you and your pretty smile.

You put your hand on his, intertwining your guys's fingers.

That day happened so vaguely, even though u felt like you were drunk, there was no alcohol in your system. You guessed, it was one of those drunk nights. Nights where you felt like you were having a fever dream. Nights where you wouldn't want the day to end. Nights where, you would dream being with him. And now you didn't need to.

It's more than work | Lee Know

Pairing: lee know × reader

Genre: fluff, workaholic reader, frenemies to lovers kind of vibe

Warning/s: Small amounts of cursing

Summary: reader works as multi-tasking staff at the JYP company working for the group stray kids, she's known for having a good bond with the members but a special kind of one that seems to always be changing with minho.

Word count: 1.9k

A/N: Well, there it is. My first oneshot! Hope you all like it, also it's not proofread so sorry if there are some mistakes.

_______________________________________

Friday

It was early in the morning, you got up in your pjama's. With sloppery steps you got to your kitchen, rubbing your swollen eyes. Eyes scanning the food on display. You walked until u stopped, opening the pantry and getting out waffles. You put them on the table and turned around again to get your cup.

You prepared your waffles and an iced americano and started eating and drinking quickly. It seemed like you didn't eat for months. You checked your watch looking at the time.

You needed to prepare. Stray kids were having a busy schedule today, from performing at inkigayo to other special appearances. Everyone was preparing, the fans, the other staff, the members and so did you.

You got up and basically sprinted to your bathroom. Splashing cold water on your face and brushing your teeth after. You went back into your room and "fished" for some good clothing. As you got your clothing picked you prepared snacks, makeup and nessecary cosmetics if needed. You went to your car and started driving to the JYP company building.

When you arrived you stepped out of your car and went in, greeting everyone that passed by. You went into stray kid's room and again greeted all the staff and members. You just sat and looked at your phone until u were given actual instructions on what to do.

The manager came and hurridly said to some staff to work on the makeup of stray kids, and so u did just that. You got up opening your bag and getting out cosmetics along with the ones the company gave. You looked which member wasn't occupied and it was only one. Minho.

Minho uninterested as always looked around with his soft eyes at the members and than at you. You walked until you got infront of him moving little strands of hair away from his eyes as you gently patted the strong eye-shadow on the outer corners of his eyes and eyelids. You could feel his soft breathing on your face and when u were done, you got out the lip brush and stopped. You looked at his lips for a second before you heard laughter. Minho was laughing.

You looked up expecting him to be laughing at you but fortunately he was just talking with Han. You felt relief, you couldn't get fired. Not now when everything was starting to be great and besides you loved your job too much. You quickly applied a red-ish lip balm on his lips and gave a quick nod of proudness as u smiled looking at your work.

"Are you done now?" Minho asked with a stern tone.

You rolled your eyes almost forgetting for a second that that's Lee Minho. And of course you could be like that, the company knows you were childhood "friends" but you guys were more frenemies than that. You guys could never fall in love. And that's what matters, atleast to JYP.

You stepped away as other staff fixed their outfits and commented that they (stray kids) are ready. Atleast you got your part of the work done. You along with some of the other staff went into a different car than stray kids to go with them. Since some of the staff was more professional and perfect with certain things which was needed for special performances. You got there and was backstage. Of course you had nothing to do there so you used your time to talk with some of the members. You went to Chan.

"Hey Chan! Are you excited for this, and the other members?" You said excitingly.

"Oh of course, but you know were also nervous." Chan said massaging his back.

"No need for that, im sure everyone will be great"-

"Yes, also I like the makeup u did for Minho. While we were filming some of the members commented that it looked fierce and cool" He said cutting u off, but you didn't mind.

"Oh thank you so much" you laughed.

Your conversation was cut short because of an announcer saying that its time for stray kids to go. You monitored along with some other people. They did amazing, as expected.

Next day

You were laying in your bed, staring at the ceilling. You were so bored. Yes you admit yesterday was exhausting but u loved doing it. You wanted to work again. You scrolled through your phone looking at your contacts, who could u get to do something with you today?

"Dumbass" you saw the contact name and giggled. Minho. God that idiot. That idiot that intrests u so much. That idiot that keeps u active.

"Hey are you maybe up for something?" You hesitantly sent.

"Like what and where?" The immediate vibration of your phone lowkey scared you.

"A walk on the beach maybe idk"

"You really sent that without even thinking it out first. LMAO idiot."

You scoffed.

"Since when did u get the confidence to act like a dick?" You sent, but this time with no hesitation.

"The beach than". You put down your phone hitting your face. This man really-. You don't even have the energy to think about it anymore.

You got ready looking all pretty, you don't even know why its not like you're meeting someone special anyways.

Arrival

You looked around, probably arriving to early but whatever it's not like it's something new.

"Um" You heard a quiet voice behind you. So you turned around and of course its Minho. You were about to complain about him being a little bit late when u stopped to look at him. His outfit, his hair, his eyes and most importantly his lips. But only for a moment until u looked away. He lowered himself to your level and moved his head slightly to the side like a puppy.

"What's wrong hm?" He hummed. Making u feel sorts of things.

You turned to look at him and made eye contact, noticing how close your faces are. Until his eyes trailed onto your lips. You of course noticing let out a laugh, and letting him know aswell. He, flustered looked away angirly.

"I could ask u the same Minho" you said pulling your hands together with a huff.

He ignored your words as you started walking and looking around at the coast.

"You know you can really be annoying sometimes." He said.

"You're always annoying, you know that right?" You snapped back.

You guys were unbelivable, bickering like little children. Until you saw an ice cream stand. You grabbed Minho's arm and started shaking it.

"ICE CREAMM"

He sighed. There was no point in fighting you. So you guys went to there and ordered. And sat on the sand, enjoying your ice cream's disgarding the fact that you were sitting on the sand that would, probably later on stain your clothing. But that didn't matter right now.

The sunset was coming down. What a perfect timing, you thought to yourself. You sat in a position grabbing your knees. You turned to look at Minho at your side to ask.

"Isn't the sunset so pretty?" You said, wowed as you turned your head back with your eyes on the sunset.

"Very pretty" He said, with you not realizing he was not looking at the sunset. But you.

After you got ready to go home, still bickering over small stuff you guys said your bye's.

Monday

It was a special day, but a one u weren't needed for because stray kids had a concert. And they got other people for the day to do something. Buttt the good news is that, you got the concert tickets!

You could say to yourself that their music wasn't good but you knew you would be lying. Especially their performances and multi talent is undeniable. And of course, that was one of the things that reminded you of your job. And you desperately had money that was itching your pocket.

You of course got ready for the concert, and got your front-row tickets ready also. When you arrived you weren't even shocked because of how many people were there. Some recognized you from skz talker ep. where u were fighting with Minho. Some stayed quiet and just stared. You had to wait and the waiting killed you, but you knew it would be worth it in the end.

You went in and waited a bit until the crowd started screaming and you looked at the stage. The members were coming up doing a dramatic appearance. They all looked amazing as always.

Halfway in the concert u were having an amazing time, and u noticed others were too.

Some members noticed you and waved and smiled.

You looked at them dancing and singing so passionately you were so proud of them.

Their smooth steps as if they glided across the stage and clear voices.

The stage was also very well prepared with a big screen behind matching every song that came on and with microphones on stage for every member.

One was infront of you so at some point in the concert the members all went to one of the microphones and just by coincidence Minho went infront of you.

He started singing his verse softly, hands wrapping around the microphone.

He was so passionate about being an idol, you could see it on his face. Which brang you back in time. When u used to see him in high school.

You would overhear him talking about being a singer and dancer and how every time he talked about it his voice would be a little louder because of excitement. You of course had your own plans which were becoming staff for a popular company.

His determination and love for what he does was so lovely to you. You could feel yourself staring at him with doe eyes. When u came back to earth you noticed him staring back and smilling at you and everyone there.

"He is so cute" You thought.

Your eyes widened. You had to stop yourself from slapping your own face. What the hell were you thinking. His smile was so undeniably beautiful though.

After the concert you had alot to think about. On the way home you stared at the ground, spacing out. Thinking about why you thought about Minho like that. Until u felt a tap on your shoulder.

You turned around with a clear "hm?" coming out your mouth. Of course it was Minho, who else would it be. But he was dressed fully covered so no one would recognize him and thankfully no one did.

"How did you enjoy our concert?" He said with a hint of happiness in eyes.

You swore you could get lost in his eyes. But that wasn't important now.

"It was really nice, I could see why people love these." You said with sincerity.

"So why are you so gloomy on the way to home?" He said his eyes going back to normal.

"Since when did you care?" You said kind of pissed looking down.

Than he grabbed your wrist pulling you closer to him while the other hand grabbed your chin and lifted it up to look at him in the eyes.

You continued staring at eachother and ecahothers's lips until he took off his mask and he kissed you. His lips felt soft yet rough because of the frustration that was built up inside him. You put your hand on the back of his head as you kissed back. You guys let go as you said.

"I hate you so much you dumbass."

He laughed as he caressed your face.

This was the person you spent the half of your life with, so why not the other half too?
