The Only One I Want

Part 1

Karina x Fem! Reader

Karina knew she was pretty. She knew she had a chance with everyone, however, she was forever against any romantic relationships ever since she became an idol. Why would she want anyone when all they ever do is love her for her fame and looks? She knew she could never find anyone perfect for her, so she gave up on romance... until she met you

Word Count- 2.8k

Warnings- Mention of men

Week after week Karina was cursed with yet another blind date set up by her company. She would urgently burst into her managers room, promptly falling down onto her knees, hands speedily racing against each other as if she was bound to make a fire, begging to go at least a month without any blind dates.

To her dismay, however, not surprise, her manager would always shake her head firmly. “We need you to do this for us Karina. Do you have any idea how much attention would follow us if Yu Jimin was to find the perfect man?” She would say, and all Karina could do was sigh, walking out of the room with her head hung to her feet.

It was another day in which her company had set up a date once again, this time, they informed her it would be at one of Seoul’s most popular art museums, where she would be meeting the man in about an hour from now.

Karina couldn’t help but dread the upcoming event, knowing that her members got to stay back at the company and practice whatever they wished with their dance instructor, as there was no schedule for them this day.

Karina wished she could be apart of that. She wished she could be in the dance practice room, and she reminisced with the feeling of laughter and sweat filling the air of the unreasonably hot place. It was all she wanted... to spend time with her members doing stupid “idol shit" on her days off.

Yes, she was an idol, not a dating show contestant. Why couldn’t her company see this?

And on top of everything, she had never been fond of dating, as every possible boy she’s met was only ever after her looks, or how much money was in her pockets. “Why don’t I take you home tonight”, she heard almost constantly after every date. It was upsetting to say the least, and as a result, Karina turned down any possible instance in which a boy could waltz their way into her heart. It wasn’t what she wanted. She wanted her members. She wanted to be on stage. She wanted to be in the studio.

Instead, Karina found herself in the back of her managers car, mask almost suffocating her face as her hat floated just above her line of vision. Although she went on many dates, she was always forced to cover her identity, as her manager elucidated how bad it would be if the public was to see their sweetheart being accompanied by a new man every week. They wanted her to find the right one, then she could freely express herself to the public (though she knew it would never happen).

“We’ve almost arrived, make sure you put your glasses on before you step out.” Her manger expressed from the passenger seat, where she responded with a small nod. If her mask was clipped on any tighter, she swore her manger would be able to see her frown seeping through.

Only a minute later, the car pulled to a stop, just beside an almost identical car in the parking lot. Karina stepped out, her glasses now shielding her eyes as the door to the adjacent car rolled open just in front of her.

“It’s nice to finally meet you, Jimin”, a voice could be heard in front of her.

Karina raised her head, gaze connecting with the man in front of her.

Lee Jae Wook, I never thought I would meet him, Karina thought to herself.

Despite the immense amount of meetings her company would assemble, they never would tell Karina which man she would be seeing, and she hated it.

She remembers the time when she had shown up at an excessively fancy restaurant, only to be met with Mark Tuan seated comfortably in the chair ahead of her. Or when Kris Wu sat adequately on the most ugly patterned blanket, with a messy endeavor of a picnic by its side, bottles of alcohol spilling onto the grass, Kris’s attempt at getting Karina drunk and taking her home... god what a terrible date that was.

“Call me Karina”, she said, ignoring the evident hand reaching out, awaiting to be shaken. Karina didn’t like when anyone other then her members, or family, was to call her by her birth name. She believed that only those who knew her personally were given the ability to call her by something so precious, not some random actor practically drooling as he soaked in her presence.

“Yes of course, my apologies”, Jae Wook nodded and extended his arm for the girl to take, and if it wasn’t for Karina’s manager lightly pushing her into the man, she would have smacked his arm down instantly.

With that, the two began into the museum, her arm loosely wrapped around his, and Jae Wook’s excessive amount of cologne being the only thing Karina could smell.

God this is terrible. I need to get home.

“Welcome! It’s a pleasure to have you two joining us today!” An abnormally tall woman greeted them at the entrance. “Call me Ha-Eun! I’ll be your tour guide for today’s visit”, Karina shook her hand with a fake smile plastered onto her face.

“Thank you”, Karina expressed, and followed the woman as she took them through security and into the main hall of the museum. The place was exceptionally beautiful, and Karina was sure that if she were to be accompanied by her members instead of this man, her experience would be one to remember.

But she wasn’t. She was stuck clinging onto the man as they followed the tour guide into the first exhibit, knowingly peering at him as his eyes were trained on the woman’s ass while she walked ahead of them.

In all honestly, Karina couldn’t care less. She could turn the corner and see Jae Wook kissing another woman and she wouldn’t even bat an eye. He could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn’t bother her. Nevertheless, she knew that was impossible, because as soon as Karina thought he would leave her alone and take in his surroundings instead, he intertwined his fingers with her, and as she tried to pull away, he gave her hand a tug, almost as if he was warning her to not even try.

To say Karina was uncomfortable was an understatement. The two of them followed the tour guide throughout the museum, and all Karina could think about was how sweaty and nasty the man’s hand felt in the grasp of hers.

It has been a half an hour since they began to look around, and as they were stopped in front of a beautiful piece Karina couldn’t help but admire, Jae Wook spoke up.

“I need to use the bathroom, would you mind staying here?” He directs his attention towards Karina.

God yes. I'd be more than happy to. Please leave and never come back, Karina thought.

“Sure.”

The tour guide stepped in front of Jae Wook before he could make his way out.

“I can show you the way! There isn’t one very close to here, it’s a bit of a walk.” She happily spoke, eyes almost unseen as a result of her never-resting smile. It must be tiring having that job, Karina thought, with having to keep a smile on your face without the slightest falter, even in the case of an inconvenience. She could never do that.

“Thank you, I appreciate it”, Jae Wook spoke formally. “I’ll be right back”, he spoke once more, leaning down and planting a dry kiss atop of Karina’s forehead, and she almost gagged.

The two made their way to the nearest bathroom, and there Karina stood, still at the fore of the painting. She couldn’t take her eyes off of it, it was truly beautiful. The way the colors complimented each line, as though the picture could truly come to live. It was remarkable.

Being lost in her own thoughts, Karina failed to notice the woman that walked towards her and stood just about three feet away.

“It’s beautiful isn’t.”

Karina’s ears chirped at the sound of the feminine voice, and she turned her head to glare at whoever had made the comment, however she was immediately met with the side profile of what seemed to be an angel.

Karina had never seen anyone so captivating. The way your gaze was held beautifully on the artwork, where the piece couldn’t even compare to how prepossessing your visuals were. It was like she was at a loss of air, and she had never felt this feeling before. Karina has never been so lost for words, as it was usually the other way around, where the man was to look at Karina like they had never seen anyone as stunning as her.

Now, eyes still trained on your profile, she can understand how these men felt when they claimed to be awestruck.

“...y- yeah”, Karina was still in a trance, making it hard for her to complete a full sentence.

“I always come back to this piece whenever I visit, its magnificent”, you glanced over to her, and before you could meet her gaze, her eyes flashed back to the wall in an instant.

“Um...”, she needed to keep talking to you, so she tried to start up a conversation, where she again was never the one to do so.

“How often do you come here?” Karina asked, this time her eyes on you, and when you turned around to respond, her cheeks began to match the color of your beautifully pink lips.

How could someone be so engaging?

“Usually once a month, its like my happy place”, you allow a small chuckle to escape past your lips, as does Karina.

“That’s really cool”, Karina smiles, her voice wavering as she tried to keep calm, and she continued.

“Do you have any other works that you like?”

Karina watched as your eyes scanned the wall full of beautiful artwork, deciding if there was another that met up to the standard of the one you stood ahead of, however you shake your head.

“I love them all, but this one is my favorite”, you smile and Karina could practically hear her heart skip a beat.

Karina has never felt the feeling of butterflies in her stomach until now. She has never been so captivated by someone’s presence until now. She has never wanted to hold a conversation with a stranger until now. You made her want to do everything at this very moment. Karina wanted to grab your hand and walk you outside just to continue to talk about your love for art. She could listen to you all day.

Could a woman feel this way for a woman? Karina never thought of woman in that type of sense, as she was only ever set up with men her entire live, so it was inevitable that her heart was trained to find attraction towards the gender. Maybe meeting you thirty seconds ago was a sign that her heart could possibly open up to someone. And not just anyone... a woman.

“Want to know why I like this painting so much?” You asked, and began to move a bit closer to her body, still keeping a comfortable distance.

Come closer, Karina thought.

“Why?”

You smiled and leaned in, "because I made it”, you uttered faintly.

And there it was. The exact moment that Karina determined she could truly find romance in somebody. Nobody had ever made Karina feel such a thing, and she thought she might as well die alone, since nobody had ever held her attention. But she was wrong. Here you were, in the flesh, completely ripping the heart of Yu Jimin out of her entire body, unbeknownst to you.

“Are you serious?” That was all Karina could muster out, otherwise she might as well shout to the world that she found the one for her.

“Yeah. It was accepted into the gallery about six months ago. Cool right?”

God you had no idea how many butterflies were roaming the district of Karina insides.

“Y- yeah... that’s amazing”, she smiled and went on. “What’s your name?”

You gave her a warm-hearted smile and pointed over to the painting, where Karina was now faced with sign just bellow the piece.

Y/n Yl/n

How beautiful, was as Karina could think.

“How about you? What’s your name?”

It was natural that you didn’t recognize the woman, as she was dressed in the least revealing clothes there ever was to be, a mask on her face accompanied by the hat she had on in the car, and lastly a pair of circular glasses. She didn’t expect you to know who she was with such a disguise, but she hoped you were to realize once she took her mask and glasses off.

Maybe if Karina showed you who she really was, you would end up being a huge fan, and immediately want to continue talking to her. Nobody could ever pass up on the chance of becoming close with an idol, so it should be the same regarding you, right?

Karina allowed her thoughts to race ahead of herself, and she pulled her mask down, her glasses following.

She saw when it clicked in your mind, that you were being faced with the Karina of Aespa, one of the most famous fourth generation idols there is to be. She felt pride, and for the first time, she was happy someone was to recognize who she was.

Nonetheless, exactly opposite of what Karina had thought would happen, your lips turned upwards into a fair smile, and you nodded your deliberately.

“Ah”, you stated, “Yu Jimin. I’ve seen your face all over.”

Is that it? Is that all you had to say? You’re not going to ask for a picture? Or even bow? Karina was beyond confused, she had never met anyone who would react with such ease.

In addition, Karina noticed that her brain, usually trained to correct anyone that was to call her by her birth name, refused to tell you the name in which she preferred for others to call her. In fact, she found herself preferring you to call her Jimin apposed to Karina. You were already special enough to her.

“So you know who I am?” Karina spoke.

“Doesn’t everybody?” You laughed. “You are even more beautiful in person, it’s surprising.”

Hearing those words come out of your mouth, Karina couldn’t help but bring her mask back up to her face. She couldn’t let you see how flustered you made her. It was dehumanizing.

“Oh... thank you.” She looked anywhere but to you. “You’re beautiful as well.”

You chuckled and looked down just as she did, and if anyone was to take a look over at your interaction, it’s possible they would think the two of you were to not even be associating with each other.

But, before you could thank the girl, your eyes glanced over at a man who was making his way towards Karina, and you recognized him to be the one you had seen her with preceding your approach.

“I think it’s time for me to go now, I believe your boyfriend is here for you.”

Karina’s eyebrows furrowed, her lips frowning at the thought of you leaving so soon, but she turned around to see what you had been referring to, and was met with Jae Wook and the tour guide side by side, making their way towards her.

“No! He’s not my b-” Karina turned around to reassure you, however, her breath hitched, eyes almost even watering as she found that you were instantly gone.

She felt like a child that had lost their parents at a crowded event, searching aimlessly throughout the area, double... triple looking around to see where you might have gone. But it was too late.

Jae Wook had then came up by her side and took her hand, and Karina couldn’t even protest, she was too upset. Her mind was somewhere else at the moment.

She followed Jae Wook, eyes trained on the wooden floor as she thought of you.

She thought about how heavenly your voice was, like music played softly in her ears, and how magnificent your side profile was to look at. She could stare at it all day if she could. She needed to see your face again. She needed to find you.

You were the one for her, she determined it. And she will not leave this museum unless it was hand and hand with you

Hi everyone!! I’m backkk!!! I’m not sure exactly how many parts this will have, but I’ll just keep going until I feel the story is complete haha. Stay tuned for part two my loves!! 💕💕

Welcome to Round 2 of the Dissociation Swag Competition!

The Dissociation Swag Competition is a for-fun Tumblr tournament where nominated characters are competing in a friendly competition to celebrate those of us of the dissociative spectrum, including but not limited to: Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder (DPDR), Dissociative Amnesia, Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD), Unspecified Dissociative Disorder (UDD), or simply anyone who experiences dissociation on a recurring basis!

As a note, this is not meant to romanticize mental illness, but rather push for more positive representation of our conditions. As someone with DPDR, I think it's important to be able to look up to characters who are like me and not just scary serial killers, and we deserve positive representation just as much as those with anxiety, depression, or other mental illnesses!

As a reminder, be kind during the competition, this is all for fun and has no stakes! Cheer on your blorbos, but don't be mean to the other competitors nor those rooting for them please!

facts people need to understand!

Kris wu is not and never will be innocent. He did what he did and now he’s paying the consequences.

Calling yourself “alpha” or “sigma” or “giga chad” doesn’t make you cool. It makes you look cringe.

Furry’s are people too. Being rude and attacking them is not okay.

Your idol will never date you, keep dreaming./lh

being fat doesn’t mean unhealthy, just like being skinny doesn’t mean healthy.

if you don’t like something, scroll.

doing the

“if you ______”

👇

👎 👍

it’s literally so annoying. Stop begging for likes, it’s making you look desperate.

famous people are people at the end of the day.

We really need to take away internet access from 12 yr olds.

The way this matter is exploding, i honestly want to know what did Build say..

How the hell a 20 yr old’s tweet can get such huge reactions, when people like Michael Jackson are still revered. 20 yr old is not a wise age...it is still an impressionable age (and, No! gullibility is not governed by legal age)

What were you doing at 20? Were you in a stable job, married, with kids, attained wisdom...no freaking NOT.. you were still gossiping with your friends, objectifying your idols, and just being a dck.

I don’t know what he said, maybe he indeed said something wrong. And, if so, he should be punished but in line with the severity of what he did.

Was it that heinous, say like Kris Wu, Seungri (where fans still support)?

There is a bigger problem. It is not about KinnPorsche. It is not just about Thailand or South Korea.

The way this cancel culture comes up just because someone dates, just because someone does not say Hi to fans who were waiting in line, just because of whatever...

Is it not bullying when you go after weak folks whose careers you thwart? Why are these fandoms not rallying against Islamic terrorism? But you won’t, because you are not here for justice or righteous of the society... but you are here to just find a target and have popcorn

I dare you, post about that on your social media, or are you scared of being beheaded for being right? How convenient is your definition of standing up for the right?

All fandoms seem to comprise of 12 yrs olds with raging hormones who clearly don’t know how to control the rage.

********************************

EDIT - just to make it clear what i am referring to... You want to unfollow or not watch Build’s content, that is up to you. But, with him already sitting out finale reaction and potential world tour, it is too much to actively campaign and ask for him to step down from the role. It is his work, and he worked hard for 2 years. Do you really think forcing production company to replace the actor is the right “punishment”

GJ and ZZH Updates — June 12-18

<<< previous week || all posts || following week >>>

This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.

This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. A glossary of names and terms often used can be found [here]. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)

06-12 → Gong Jun posted a commercial he did with Mengniu to his personal Weibo. Caption: “Looking forward to the summer sun, but also to the cool summer. Not only to cool off the heat, but also to send you more good moods.” This was reposted by Mengniu with a caption that includes, “The season of natural healing has begun!”

→ Master Wu, a big account who previously spoke out in defense of Zhang Zhehan, made a post insinuating that Gong Jun threatened him and saying that he was going to make Gong Jun “disappear from c-ent forever.” He deleted his post after someone reposted it @ing Gong Jun.

When people later encouraged him to post a photo of himself holding his ID to prove the validity of his case, as had been done by others recently in response to a violent misogynisitc attack in Tangshan, he replied saying he “isn’t that shameless.”

→ Hu Xia, who performed one of the songs for Word of Honor and is another contestent on the currently airing We Are The Champions, followed Gong Jun on Weibo.

→ Information was posted about a situation that’s been happening in Kris Wu’s fandom, where someone claiming to be helping him and his case has been exploiting fans by selling merchandise “in his name.” Sound familiar? Even the merchandise itself looks shockingly similar to what Xie Yihua’s brand has been putting out.

06-13 → 10 months since 813.

→ The season of Go Fighting! Gong Jun filmed at the start of the month was announced to start airing on 06-26, every Sunday at 9pm.

→ Mengniu posted another commercial featuring Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)

→ Gong Jun’s studio Weibo posted a video for 361° spoken by him (11:38, 1129 and 511 kadian), saying that the new logo—the one which means being surrounded by love—is now more memorable and meaningful. “Passion never graduates, we never say goodbye.” [subbed video]

→ An anonymous post was made on Zhihu from the same location as Master Wu, complaining that CPFs were using the Tangshan incident for their own benefit and as an excuse to act hatefully towards men. The post was deleted after someone commented, “Wu, is this you?” [source]

→ The tea was spilled on Master Wu, showing that he used the traffic from supporting Zhang Zhehan for personal financial gain, has lied about his schooling and his work history, has been accused of plagarism, lied about being a Party member, has lost multiple contract disputes, and had his mother help him commit fraud against his ex-wife, to name just a few things.

→ Believers in the Instagram account tried to hijack a Weibo hashtag about cyberbullying by posting clips from the 05-04 video, specifically the parts accusing Gong Jun and CPFs. [screenshot]

→ A livestream was held by Mengniu in which the giveaway winners were all Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan fans; the host showed the IDs and read them out. No recording has surfaced yet, but people watching have said this included him saying Zhang Zhehan’s name.

06-14 → Master Wu announced he’s going offline for a week.

→ Fresh posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)

→ Hsu Chi Fu posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ Gong Jun posted a video to his personal Weibo for Every Minute, Every Second, Every Day, a new song sung by AI Gong Jun and another AI persona, Du Xiaoxiao. (12:04, 511 kadian) Baidu APP later reposted this, and Honor also posted the video.

→ Three photos and two videos were posted of “Zhang Zhehan” at a driving range in Shanghai wearing the brand’s merch. Caption: “Recommend the song ‘Crazy and Stubborn You’ to everyone by Liu Xin[.] Seeing the message under the music, she felt a little sad and felt more resonance. Good music should be heard by more people.” (mtl) Fan Observations (also found in my Instagram masterpost): - The logo on the hat in the second photo is so obviously photoshopped you barely need to zoom in to see it. Also someone found the original unphotoshopped picture. - Many people commented that the figure in the videos is shorter. He also is using a shorter club than what is Zhang Zhehan’s known habit. Comparison photos below, leftmost is from this post; [here] is a direct side by side comparison and a visual overlay of the swing; [here] is a discussion about the change in club length.

- The figure in the video is wearing shorts, whereas Zhang Zhehan always wore pants when playing and practicing golf as is regulation in the sport. This can be seen by looking through the past photos and videos on the same account. - Those familiar with the sport commented that his swing is horrible, as opposed to Zhang Zhehan’s which was complimented as professional level by an Olympic gold medalist. They have also commented that his stance is different. - [Here] is a visual breakdown of the figure’s ass vs. Zhang Zhehan’s lol. Below it is a further anatomical breakdown and explanation of how these breakdowns were done. - [Here] is a thread talking about how this sort of post likely looks to passersby. (Hint: not good) - Believers in the account spread images from the videos cropping them to make the differences in stature less apparent. This is now not only being willfully ignorant but also blatantly manipulating evidence to further their own agenda. (Interesting, isn’t that what they accused me of last week?) - The last four digits of the post’s url are “FaKE”, the universe has spoken 😂

→ Kangshifu posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ 361° reposted paparazzi photos from SimonWink of Gong Jun wearing a shirt from their new line (and a blue mask.)

→ Gong Jun posted a douyin of footage from the same day as the photos he posted on 06-07. Caption: “Take everyone on a cloud tour~” The background music is Numb Little Bug by Em Beihold. Fan Observations: The song lyrics are... worrying, even moreso because he subbed them.

→ Baidu APP made a post promoting a chat feature with AI Gong Jun, which people had a lot of fun with [x] [x] [x] [x] [x]. When asked what songs he likes, he sings Tian Wen. [Here] are instructions for how to use it yourself, obviously it��s limited to Chinese.

A whole clown show followed, with her arguing that her feet weren’t the ones in the 06-14 Instagram photo and practically crossexamining herself, confirming that she was most likely at a certain driving range in Shanghai on 06-12.

Groovin the Moo festival’s cancellation is expected to have a ‘profound ripple effect’. So what went wrong?

On Wednesday, organisers of the Groovin the Moo festival, Cattleyard Promotions, announced they were cancelling all six regional festivals, just eight days after tickets had gone on sale.

International headliners including Melanie C, GZA of Wu-Tang Clan, the Kooks and the Beaches were to play the touring festival in late April and early May, alongside Australian acts Jet, King Stingray, Mallrat and San Cisco.

In a statement on social media, the festival said they were “extremely disappointed” but that “ticket sales have not been sufficient to deliver a regional festival of this kind”.

All ticket purchases will be automatically refunded. The organisers have declined to respond to media requests for further comment.

With dates set for Wayville in South Australia, Bendigo, Canberra, the Sunshine Coast, Newcastle and Adelaide, Groovin the Moo is the latest music festival to temporarily fold this year. On New Year’s Eve, the long-running Falls festival in Byron Bay did not go ahead, with organisers saying they would take a year off to “recalibrate”. Adelaide’s Vintage Vibes was cancelled in late January and Camden’s ValleyWays festival was also cancelled in January, citing “cost of living pressures”.

The Greens issued a statement on Thursday saying music festivals were collapsing due to inflation, and changes in how the public purchases tickets due to an uncertain economic environment.

“It’s clear that there is an urgent need for government support to keep the industry going through these uncertain economic times,” said the Greens spokesperson for the arts, Sarah Hanson-Young, who has asked arts minister Tony Burke to fund another round of live music grants in the May budget, and work with the festivals industry to enable them to stay viable.

But an insider told Guardian Australia that poor tickets sales may have also been affected by the mix of artists chosen to perform. “We think we got the lineup wrong,” they said the organisers told them.

‘We need to take stock of what’s really going on here’

The Greens said it was clear the festival industry was still “struggling to get back on its feet since it was decimated by the Covid pandemic”.

But Dr Andy Ward, senior lecturer in contemporary music at the University of the Sunshine Coast – a short drive from a Groovin the Moo site – said the issues facing the live music industry were more complex.

“The industry has been through the wringer since Covid, but we can’t really continue [just] blaming Covid-19 for the change in consumer behaviour,” said Ward, whose research area is the economic and political environments of the music and entertainment industries.

“Younger audiences have completely different expectations to pre-Covid audiences. You’re talking about a generation who … may have spent their last years of high school or their first years at university in lockdown, isolated at home or certainly in less close social contact environments … and there is the issue of social anxiety we’ve been looking into.

“We need to look at the other things they’re spending money on, and it seems to be home entertainment and more streaming-based media. Younger people aren’t engaging in the traditional coming-of-age [experiences], they’re socialising at home and having house parties.”

Ward said the Groovin the Moo cancellation on the Sunshine Coast was nevertheless surprising, given its enormous success last year. All 25,000 tickets sold out within five days, for a lineup that included Fatboy Slim, Amy Shark, Eliza Rose and Ocean Alley.

The chief executive of Queensland’s music industry development association, Kris Stewart of QMusic, said rising insurance and transport costs meant touring events had to practically sell out in order to break even.

“We need to take stock of what’s really going on here,” he said. “Do these festivals need to be smaller, do we need to find less expensive ways of touring? Are there other more sustainable ways of doing things, where maybe [organisers] pick up more national artists, instead of international artists, and have fewer people on the road? There’s a number of things that I think need to be considered … we can’t just keep ploughing ahead like this.”

Dating Wu Yifan

REQUEST: What would dating .... be like. But will you do it for Kris Wu and Suho. Pleeaasse!

DATING EXO: Xiumin | Suho | Baekhyun | D.O | Kris

he messed up majorly when he tried to ask you out for the first time

he asked everyone for some advice, trying to find the perfect way to ask you on a date

and most people told him to start off by saying something nice about you

“y/n, you have skin,” ended up being his version of a compliment

needless to say, you were one rewatch of Silence of the Lambs away from calling the police after he said this

but his shy laugh and the dorky attempt to change the topic right after warmed your heart

of course, the fact that he couldn’t stop smiling all while he talked, helped, too

and you ended up agreeing to go on a date with him, not that you were planning to say no to him anyway

this lead to yifan screaming on the phone with his friends, because he felt like he had to let everyone know that their pieces of advice worked

“SHE SAID YES! WE’RE GOING ON A DATE!”

“yifan, i know, you’ve told me five times alrea—”

“A DATE! DID YOU HEAR THAT?!”

when it came to the first date – and all the other dates after that – you and yifan had competitions who would take less time to get ready

unsurprisingly, you always won and ended up having to barge into the bathroom to help him get his hair right

even though, really, he just wanted to spend more time with you in private before you had to go out

and he also secretly loved it when you played with his hair

“you could be a hair stylist, y/n, i swear”

“i didn’t even do anything, i just brushed my hand through it”

“fantastic”

he was somewhat reserved when it came to PDA

but he was also pretty forgetful about the other people when you were with him

so, lots of times, he’d just hold your hand, lifting it up to his lips every now and then placing a kiss on your knuckles

or he’d turn around and kiss your cheek out of the blue

and only when he’d hear the shocked gasps of the few people who have gathered outside the restaurant to see him, did he realize that the two of you weren’t the only people in the world

but that’s what it felt like to him

and hearing murmurs of disapproval from the crowd that claimed he only kissed you for show, upset him more than anything

yifan had a flair for the dramatic, sure

but nothing he did with you was ever for show

it was all genuine and, more often than not, it all happened because he couldn’t stay away from you for too long

and that also meant that you two were texting 24/7

you’d get “love you x” messages, at least, five times a day

he never said those words out loud that often, mostly because he still got really flustered if he had to admit his feelings face-to-face

but he always expressed them with his actions

you were sick one time and he was away

not wanting to bother him, you only told him that you had a headache, but chose not to mention the fever or the constant coughing fits

and three hours later, yifan was at your door with four different kinds of medicine, because something didn’t sound right to him

no, really, he had a sixth sense kind of thing when it came to you

he knew what it meant when you replied with “k.” and he called you immediately, understanding what you were upset about before you did

and he could also always tell when you were down

“your laugh doesn’t sound the same. what’s wrong?”

even if it wasn’t anything serious that made you feel sad or upset, yifan always acted as if whatever happened to you – even if it was nothing – was the most important thing in the world

he stayed by your side all through it, and, truth be told, ended up missing a few meetings – not that he told you about that, he knew you would have forced him to leave if he had – but none of that mattered

he would have much rather stayed at home with you anyway, attempting to cook you food, making you laugh, or just cuddling with you

the latter was his favorite

he couldn’t imagine a better way to spend the day than by laying in bed, his arms around you, while the two of you talked about anything and everything

yifan was always very in touch with his priorities

work mattered, obviously

but he’s already started over once before, he knew he could do it again if he had to

meanwhile, he couldn’t bear the thought of having to lose you and find someone else

in fact, “someone else” wasn’t even a part of his vocabulary anymore

he didn’t find it embarrassing to tell his friends, “sorry, i want to spend the night with my girl,” when they invited him to go clubbing

even his mother got used to the way yifan kept bringing you up no matter what they were talking about

everyone understood

he still made time for them because he valued and loved his friends and family very much

but being away from you was a new form of torture

yifan didn’t believe in that kind of unconditional love until it happened to him

you were his girlfriend, his best friend, and his soulmate

you were his whole life
