heads up! minor injury, food mentions
vernon smooths a bandage around the side of your palm, fingers lingering there a few extra seconds as he glances up to meet your gaze. “y’know that knife is pretty sharp.”
“vernon.” you know what he’s doing.
he holds his hand up where there’s a bandaid around the tip of his index finger. it has cartoon stars on it, matching the wide bandage you have since you bought the cuter ones to make using them a little nicer. “remember?”
he’s parroting your words back at you from when you patched him up the other day. but you just lean in, kissing where the bandaid is before drawing back. two can play at this game. “i know. i’m a dummy—”
with a playful roll of his eyes, he draws your hand up so he can kiss the bandaged spot on the side of your palm. “my dummy, but sure.” he smiles at you, fingers curling around your hand. “just be careful.”

it's weird that you don't call out to jun when he comes into your apartment. jun knows that you know he was coming over at some point to spend time with you, and usually you greet him in some way when you hear the apartment door unlock. he's a little earlier than he planned, but you told him to 'come over whenever' and now he's a little worried that you didn't mean it. he quietly slips into the pair of slippers that stays here at your place, and makes his way further into your apartment to set down the bag of groceries he brought on your kitchen counter. your bedroom door is open, but the tiny room you use as a home office is open just a sliver.
he makes his way over, leaning in to listen for a moment... only to hear your voice. there's a little strain to it as you struggle through a sentence, and it clicks all at once: you're speaking chinese. albeit not very well (it's clear to jun that this is one-hundred percent new to you), but you're still trying. your pronunciation is a bit clumsy, but he can hear the way you try to use the right tone with what you're saying...
when did you start learning this much? jun had taught you little things in the past--the absolute basics, really, plus a few other little phrases that veer into his own cheesy need to hear you say sweet things--but this...? he steps back from the door. why hadn't you told him? you could have told him and he'd happily help you learn. but he trusts you: you must have your reasons to keep this a secret, so he won't push. he steps away, deciding to busy himself with getting ingredients put away--or set up for the two of you to cook together, in case you're hungry now.
then he knocks a cup into the sink, and immediately he hears you coming out of your office. relief crosses your face when you see it's just jun, and you lean against the open doorway.
"i didn't know you were here." you pause, and then he sees you get hit with realization. "... how long were you here?"
"i just got here," he says. it's technically the truth, isn't it? he's only been here for a few minutes. "were you working?"
you nod. "yeah. just had to answer a phone call," you lie to him, but he just nods and acts like he doesn't know that. you come up to his side, wrapping an arm around him. "is this for lunch?"
he leans over to you and presses a kiss against your cheek. "are you hungry?"
"mhm," you just snuggle in for a moment, enjoying his presence. "you should teach me more recipes you learned from your mom sometime."
jun finds himself smiling already. was that what this all was...? an attempt for you to understand him better? to show that you care for him so much that you want to know his culture, too? "i'd love to," he says softly, and wraps an arm around you to tug you closer to his side. "only if you teach me things you learned from your family, too."
then he'll make more efforts to understand you and your background, too. just to show you that he loves you as much as you love him.

heads up: ldr fic. reader got bad news abt someone in their life and is upset over it.
its always hard to not drop everything and run to you. especially on nights like these, where you’re crying after telling seungcheol everything. but you know him too well, because your first words to him were to not buy a ticket and come to you yet. you didn’t need him there yet, not until you had more information. but he’s looking at ticket prices anyway, just to think about it.
“cheollie?” he can’t see your face now (you never voice call him when you need to cry—you hate him seeing you cry), but he can imagine it all too well now. “i wish you could hold me right now.”
“honey…” he lets out a long, slow sigh. “i’ll come as soon as you need me,” he promises. “just say the word, okay?”
he stares up at his ceiling, eyes falling shut. he wishes he could feel your weight against his body, your hot face buried in his neck. its unfair that you have to struggle alone now. he’ll always be in your corner, but both of you know its different when either of you struggles alone.
“i wish i could hold you, too.”

heads up! mentions of bad dreams. food mentions. housemates au. angst + comfort.
the knock on your door is so light you almost miss it at first. but you still, tears still staining your cheeks as you wonder if you'd been caught crying. a moment later, the door creaks open, and you hear seungcheol as he makes his way over to your bed. he reaches out, fingers grazing against your arm before he pulls his hand away.
"i made you hot chocolate," he says softly. it's what you always do for yourself when you're upset. of course seungcheol would know. "do you want to talk about it?"
you look up before moving, drawing your legs in so that he can sit at the foot of your bed. with a quiet thanks, you accept the mug from him and take a long sip of the sweet cocoa. he's dropped mini marshmallows into it, too, and you think there's the faint taste of cinnamon to chase it all. all the while, you say nothing else.
"it's that dream again, isn't it?" he frowns at you, yet his gaze is so soft, so tender as he studies your face. seungcheol's always been your number one supporter. "it's okay if it is."
for the past few weeks months, you've been having this reoccurring dream of seeing your ex with someone new. being happy. being in love like its the easiest thing in the world. every time, they look at their new partner with this look on their face that just hurts because they never really looked at you like that. it always results in you waking up and crying. you confessed the dream to seungcheol one morning over breakfast, admitting you were tired of having it.
so all you can do is nod because you're right back there again. "i'm tired."
"i'm sorry," he says softly. "do you want to talk about it?"
you don't. not tonight. and when you shake your head, seungcheol nods and leans forward to give you a soft kiss on the top of the head. it's comforting, and you set aside the mug to move in for a hug. he wraps his arms around you, letting you settle in for a moment of physical comfort.
tomorrow you'll talk to him, you resolve. seungcheol will listen. but for now, you just let him hold you while you listen to the sound of his heart beating, wondering when you'll be able to fall asleep just like this.

heads up! more stardew. mentions of wonwoo and mc having a child in-game. also mentions of in-game food.
"oh my god."
wonwoo looks up to where you're sitting at the other end of the couch. he had immediately decided to head out of your little shared home in the game while you managed some of the more artisan-related things that needed to be done--putting strawberries into preserves jars, setting up another round of coffee to be made into triple espresso.
"wonwoo." you look up over the edge of your laptop. "our son is crawling."
wonwoo finds himself smiling. is that it? you're so soft over your little bundle of pixels. regardless of whether kids will pop up into your real future, the two of you had wanted to nab that full house achievement. so little soonyoung (there's a small story there as to why he's named after wonwoo's friend which can mainly be boiled down into soonyoung joking about it and you going 'alright, bet') has finally reached the crawling stage of his virtual life. it's cute to see you so excited over it, though: wonwoo thinks its because of how much you two joke about "little baby soonyoung" growing up to be just like his namesake once he can walk.
"honey?" wonwoo's smiling to himself. "he'll be big enough to get a hat soon."
immediately, your head jerks back up. "we're moving to the islands. we have to get him that tiger hat."
it earns a warm laugh from him, and he settles in to his half of the couch. "then we're on the same page. i'll meet you at the docks, honey."

[happy birthday @thepixelelf ily!!]
"oh, right--" seungcheol pushes your legs off from where you've draped them over his lap. "i bought something for you. let me get it."
you shoot him a curious look as he's getting up. he bought something else for you? he's already spoiled you a lot today between the cute novelty earrings he found for you and the dinner he treated you to... what else could he possibly be hiding now? right as you go to lovingly nag him, he disappears into your bedroom and tells you to just let him spoil you while he's here.
and then when he comes back, its with a bag he must have stashed there earlier when you weren't looking. he hands it over to you, smiling as he parks himself on the couch. "happy birthday," he says for maybe the millionth time today. when you don't move to open it quite yet, he nods toward it. "look and see! you'll like it, i promise."
you push through the tissue paper to find a soft, brown bear plushie dressed in gingham overalls and a sweater that has a cherry pattern on it. when you look up, he's already holding out his phone to reveal a picture of himself with an identical one--although this one is wearing a sweater of your favorite color underneath its overalls.
"i was only going to buy one for you, but i felt bad separating them," he admits, cheeks already turning red as he averts his gaze. he meets your eyes a moment later though, those cute dimples showing as he smiles at you. "so? is this too much?"
"nope." you just lean in to kiss one of those dimples. "you're such a dork."
and he complains, because he's your seungcheol who always complains a little when you tease him, but he knows its true. he's your soft, loving dork just as much as you're his.

"do you like it?"
hyunsuk's standing in his bedroom, staring at the jacket he's now wearing. it's... nice, certainly. not his exact style nowadays, but its so, so you that he finds himself smiling. it matches one that you wear, at least, and he'd been dropping hints for a while that he'd like to do more cheesy things like matching clothes with you. this is a small step toward that. he'll buy you something nice soon, but...
fuck, he can't stop smiling. he knows you're standing outside, back against his bedroom door. he'd needed to change to go out to dinner with you anyway, so... perfect opportunity to wear the new jacket. he opens the door slowly, giving you enough time to move away. when you turn, your own matching jacket folded over your arms, he sees the way your eyes light up as you smile. then you fight it back.
"do you?" you ask, voice softer than before.
and he just kisses you, smiling against your lips. "i love it. thank you, baby."
you laugh and call him cheesy, but sneak one little peck before moving away. you take his hand, "happy birthday, hyunsuk."
with you there? it always is.

heads up! poly au. food mentions.
the sound of the apartment door unlocking is what catches both you and jeonghan's attention. joshua's talking on the phone to seungcheol, having returned from getting some last-minute things for the dinner you three have planned, and neither of you move to greet him. it's too hot, and the only salvation you have from the heat is how cool the floor is against your skin. the most contact you can really take is the side of jeonghan's hand pressed lazily against your own (although if he held your hand, you wouldn't complain: it's a worthy sacrifice to have that little contact with him). a reminder that he's there next to you now, suffering. the AC is cranked as low as you think it can go, but both of you see the light on signalling that it needs the filter cleaned out...
"really?" joshua shifts a bag from one arm to the other as he looks down at you two. he lets out a sigh. "they're fine, cheol," he continues on to the kitchen. "just melting."
"tell him to bring us those ice cream bars he owes us!" jeonghan yells out.
you don't have to see joshua's face to know he's rolling his eyes at him. his back is still to you, and you crane your neck a little to catch a glimpse of him as he tells seungcheol he'll call him back another time. he hangs up, and the two of you listen to the sound of him unpacking the goods. you sink back onto the floor, shutting your eyes. the apartment could be cooler. but you're sleepy with midday fatigue, and you don't think jeonghan's going to move, either.
joshua's footsteps pass you. the AC cuts off. you hear the sound of joshua opening it, and his footsteps growing distant again as he goes to scrub it clean. soon enough, he's passed by the two of you again and the AC is kicked back on and bumped back down to the lowest temperature.
and then you feel water hit your face. you jerk up, peeling yourself off the floor like a bandaid, and joshua's standing over the two of you with a smirk on his face. he's holding a glass of water in his other hand, fingers wet from where he's flicked water at you.
"ice cream bars are firming back up in the freezer," he says, and then flicks more water into your face before standing back up.
he might be a menace, but he's still your menace to love. and you see the twinkle in jeonghan's eyes as he rolls onto one side, already formulating a way to get back at him... and you're on board for that, too, because jeonghan is also your menace to love. just as much as you're theirs.

heads up! babysitting adventures. food mentions.
you're making dinner when you start to hear something go down. vernon's sitting on the floor with your niece, who's very determined to take advantage of the fact that it's both friday and her parents aren't here.
"if you let me stay up until midnight," she raises a finger in the air. "i'll show you where mama hides the fruit snacks."
vernon gives a long hum, as if he's actually debating the deal. for a moment, you think maybe you should have brought seungkwan instead of your boyfriend. he doesn't need to sound so legit right now. "i dunno... i have a car. i could just go buy my own fruit snacks."
"but they're forbidden snacks." she puffs out her lil cheeks at him. "papa says that makes them better when he gives me some after mama said i shouldn't have anymore."
vernon's nodding along. "ah. the forbidden snacks. i get it." he lowers his voice into a stage whisper, as if you're not supposed to hear this secret, "they steal my snacks all the time."
your niece lets out the loudest gasp, already turned against you so easily. "they do?!" when you glance over, she's straight up glaring at you, and vernon's giggling and he gets her to turn around before you 'catch on.'
"they do." he gives them the most serious nod. "but i dunno... are they really that good to stay up past your bedtime?" when your niece gives him a equally serious nod, lips pressed together into the most serious face she can muster, vernon just crosses his arms. "okay. new deal... you've gotta give them your best puppy dog eyes," he nods toward you, "so that we can all go out for ice cream instead. you still gotta go to bed at ten, though."
immediately, her mind is blown. she never considered the fact that ice cream could be on the table with you two here. while the two continue to whisper, making a game plan, you already reach for your phone to get her parents' permission to spoil her more than you already do. with both her and vernon teaming up... there's no real way you can say no.
a few moments later, you feel a tug on your shirt and you turn to see your niece next to you. she looks back at vernon, who's half-hidden behind the edge of the counters, as if he's going to get away with something. he gestures for her to speak, and she does when she turns to you. "can we pleaaaaaase get ice cream after dinner?" she pauses. "i'll--i'll eat my veggies and everything! and uncle vernon will, too!" she points back at him. "he promised!"
you glance at him while you agree (with permission and the power of puppy dog eyes, you have no ability to say no) and vernon's shooting you a cocky grin. told you i'd have your back.

"mingyu," you don't look up from the bottle in your hands, "can i have your hand?"
he also doesn't look up. he just shifts his phone into his other hand, the one farther from you, letting you position it as you need. a second later, he feels the cold, wet feeling of nail polish as you start with his thumbnail. "what color today?"
you hold up your hand where your nails have already dried. "dark blue," you say, and he lifts his head to see. it's dark, but he can still see the color sparkling when the light hits it just right. "it's nice, right?"
he just smiles to himself, continuing to scroll through his phone. as long as we're matching, he wants to say. but he knows you'll give him that cheeky grin and tease him.
maybe he'll say it anyway and kiss that smile later.

heads up! college(/grad) student au. technically mentions of death/murder but its not serious at all. girl help (<- in assignment revision hell)
"seungmin?" you slump into your chair. "if i asked you to kill me, would you do it?"
seungmin looks up, staring at you over the rim of his glasses. he glances toward your screen, frowning at the fact you're in the way before he finally leans forward in his chair. he lights up with recognition, immediately grinning at the page you've been looking at. "depends."
"not even a yes?" you scoff, rolling your eyes. "i thought you loved me."
it earns a snort from him as he rolls his chair over next to yours. "is it the same sections as last time?"
you somehow manage to slump further, like you're a balloon losing its helium. "i fixed one of them. the other one is the same, though."
"let me read it this time after you fix it," he leans forward, reading what the evaluator comments were. "i'll help."
you pull yourself back into your chair at that, straightening up. okay. if seungmin's going to give you feedback this time... then maybe you can get through this after all.

heads up! reader is mentioned to be close to chris in age, give or take :)
chris chuckles at the groan you let out as he massages your back. you'd been complaining about your back for the past few days (without thinking about it--just a passive 'ah, fuck, that hurts' and he'd almost always offered a massage when he heard it), and he's finally told you to lay down and let him take care of you for a bit. he kneads at your back. "that bad, huh?"
"i'm old," you whine back. "don't make fun of me."
"oh, you're old?" he chuckles. "really?"
"i'm ancient. i'm withering away." you can hear him snort a little as he kneads at a knot in your back, earning another whimper. "i found a gray hair last week."
"wooow... i guess we're both ancient, huh?" he chuckles. "we're almost the same age, you know."
"did i lie?"
he gently swats at your side, giggling as he kneads your back. "i'm telling seungmin you're old, too."
"i mean it, chris," you turn your face. "i feel like i'm wasting away to nothing. my old, brittle bones are turning to dust--"
he ducks down, pressing a kiss against your shoulder. "did you really find a gray hair?" when you don't answer, he plants another kiss right next to the first. "aw... you're old."
the way he says it, all teasing and sing-song-y, makes you giggle. "nah... can't be," you muse aloud, eyes fluttering shut as chris's hands are heaven against your spine. "gotta grow old with you first."
"yeah?" he leans around to press a kiss against your cheek. "i like that idea, actually."
"yeah... i figured you would."

wonwoo lights up in delight as he sees you walk into the kitchen, and immediately is calling out to you when you start to walk away. when you turn, he's holding up his phone, smiling to himself.
"cute." he chuckles to himself. "you look nice."
you roll your eyes. so maybe you look presentable from the waist-up, having changed into a nice shirt so that you could record yourself doing a presentation for your class. this is the exact shit you'd do if you worked from home, too: nice shirt, but still wearing your cozy pajama pants where no one can see it on camera.
"can you turn around?" his eyes crinkle a little when he giggles to himself.
so you throw your arms out, giving him a slow turn so he can take in the entire look. he has a matching pair of pajama pants because they were part of your christmas gift to him, covered entirely in little cats. maybe he'll get them out of the laundry to surprise you when you come back out.
you cross the room after he lowers his phone, leaning in to steal a quick kiss from him. "do you have our daughter?"
wonwoo glances over to where the cat is curled up in her little pet bed for once, snoozing away. "i'll distract her if she starts looking for you," he promises. before you can move too far away from him, he reaches forward to draw you back in for another kiss, longer this time. "i mean it, though. you look nice. you've got this."
he's sweet, and he knows you well enough to know any presentation is going to give you anxiety. "thank you," you say, and draw away from him. with a heavy sigh, you take a few steps back. "time to get this over with."
he's definitely changing into the cat pajama pants when you shut that door.
