yunjin knew you were a big fan of red velvet, especially one particular member who everyone refers to as a goddess due to her mind-blowing, out-of-this-world visuals. since pre-debut days, the american has found it amusing to watch you freak out over the one and only bae joohyun whenever you see her on your phone during training. after debuting, your members had grown accustomed to sudden bursts of energy being released following a tiring practice session because you were always bound to listen to red velvet after every tiring session, the soothing voice of red velvet's leader filling your ears.

yunjin has always been a witness to your fangirl-like behavior and found it very amusing to watch.

that is, until yunjin developed the same feelings for the bae joohyun that you did, and the american found herself unable to laugh at your usually amusing antics. well, she tried not to, but she couldn't because you were too cute in her eyes.

yunjin fiddled with her chopsticks as she stared at you from the kitchen with such intensity that sakura, who was busy eating, couldn't help but notice. the japanese frowned at the glare on yunjin's face and followed her line of sight, eventually finding you shaking your poor leader on the couch in the living room. the bad boy music video you were previously watching was now abandoned as you went to bug your leader instead after chaewon made an unintentional statement that she quickly regretted.

"you've met irene sunbaenim?!" you shrieked, betrayal swimming in your shining orbs.

chaewon basically gave up right there, letting you shake her like a doll while silently looking for help from sakura and yunjin.

"correction, y/n-ie. it was chaeyeon, not me." chaewon grumbled.

despite yunjin's best efforts, sakura could hear her annoyed groan, and she cast another glance at the american, whose glare had been replaced with adoration as they watched your shoulders sag in defeat and collapse next to chaewon. yunjin returned her attention to the food, looking away from your defeated form, while sakura decided to assist chaewon.

"and that was during iz*one." sakura added.

"not even kkura unnie met irene sunbaenim." chaewon said, trying to make you feel better, but added more salt to sakura's wound.

the japanese's brow twitched in annoyance, despite her smile, prompting chaewon to apologize before turning to tame your hair. you simply huffed at them and crossed your arms, not looking away from the television.

"unfair."

yunjin snorted, causing sakura to return her gaze, but the american did not meet her unnie's waiting gaze. meanwhile, chaewon handed you your phone, which you used to take a picture of joohyun's overflowing visuals during bad boy era.

"another story? really?" chaewon mumbled from next to you, her eyes twinkling with delight as she watched you press on a bunch of hearts. the sight was not unfamiliar to her, but it still made her laugh because of your unending love for joohyun.

"shush, unnie."

yunjin's phone lit up next to her, drawing both sakura and her attention to it. yunjin didn't bother hiding the notification, which came from you, because she caught sakura's questioning yet teasing look. the american attempted to push down the blush that threatened to spread across her cheeks, but failed, so she hid her face behind her phone instead.

however, the american merely grumbled when joohyun's face greeted her once more, casting you a glance as you let out a high-pitched scream when the same woman who has plagued your mind since pre-debut days appeared on the screen. this time, you were watching peek-a-boo.

"what's the matter?"

yunjin showed her the screen, and sakura laughed at the army of pink hearts before looking at yunjin, who was glaring at her food. the older of the two shook her head at the obvious jealousy, but said nothing as she pieced everything together. while sakura was aware of the glares sent your way by yunjin, she never understood why. now, she did.

"since when?" sakura queried.

yunjin glanced at her, but shrugged. "i don't know what you're talking about, unnie."

sakura smirked. "sure, yunjin. sure."

yunjin ignored her as her gaze returned to you, her heart racing as she wondered if you could get any cuter than you are right now. one thing about yunjin was that she couldn't take her eyes off of you. it was a running joke in the fandom that yunjin was always staring at you with big heart eyes.

similar to what she was doing right now.

after being asked by the fans watching the live, you eagerly danced to zimzalabim, the reveluv within you sparking happily, and eunchae cheered you on. yunjin sat next to the maknae and was silent for once as she watched you with a small smile.

"wah. you were amazing, unnie!" eunchae grinned at you while giving you a big thumbs up.

you exaggerated a bow, which made yunjin laugh. "thank you, thank you, thank you!"

the american motioned for you to come over to where they were sitting. "come on over here, silly."

you smirked at your fellow '01 liner, but complied. you crossed your arms as you faced her, causing the other girl to raise her brows with a smile, while eunchae silently smiled because she already knew what was going to happen, scanning the comments, which were full of fans teasing yunjin's lovestruck gaze.

"are you calling my dance silly, yunjin-ssi?"

yunjin rolled her eyes. "i'm calling you silly, y/n-ssi."

you shook your head. "no, no. calling me silly means calling the dance silly, too. therefore, the reveluv in me is very disappointed and offended, yunjin-ssi."

eunchae cackled while yunjin looked at the phone for help, which the maknae noticed and immediately read the comments in response to yunjin's silent call for help.

"they're saying you're on your own, unnie—"

you grinned happily. "HAH! see? they're on my side!"

yunjin was dumbfounded, sending everyone a look of betrayal. "but her argument didn't even make sense!"

"doesn't matter, yunjin-ssi. now, you shall apologize." 

you jokingly raised your chin at the american, and she mumbled under her breath as she glared at you, but eventually relented. she knew she couldn't win this playful banter because her heart was already pounding in her chest and her mind, which was supposed to think logically, screamed at her to apologize. her very being and existence were vulnerable in the face of your adorable face.

if sakura or kazuha were present, the only other two members who were aware of yunjin's feelings, she would be teased nonstop. it won't be long before the eunchae and chaewon figure it out. 

well, actually, the way eunchae was looking at her right now, yunjin knew the maknae was already aware, but she needed confirmation. eunchae would most likely get one after the live ended.

however, as long as it was you, yunjin didn't mind if her pride suffered.

"fine. i'm sorry, y/n-ie."

you returned your attention to eunchae after you smiled and leaned against the american's body, which yunjin took pride in. the maknae began babbling about something, which yunjin tried to listen to but was distracted by your grip on her. the american grabbed your waist as she leaned in closer to the phone to scan the comments to distract herself, knowing that eunchae was well taken care of by her fellow '01 liner.

her face fell when a comment about a certain idol that you essentially worshipped appeared, which eunchae caught as she squinted her eyes to read the comment before it vanished. yunjin noticed the mischief in the maknae's eyes as she managed to draw your attention to said remark.

"unnie, there's a comment about irene sunbaenim."

"where?!"

at that, you jumped away from yunjin, causing the girl to squint her eyes in disbelief. 

at this point, it was unavoidable for you not to mention joohyun in a solo, unit, or group appearance. you mentioned the woman you adored every time, and it was no different this time, and yunjin had to listen to it all over again, all because of the evil maknae, who planned to torture her.

yunjin glared at eunchae from behind you, and the maknae simply grinned widely in response before they both turned to you because you had begun your detailed explanation of why you adored red velvet's leader.

"alright. first of all, have you seen her?! irene sunbaenim is so gorgeous like—" 

you panicked suddenly when you saw joohyun's face in your mind and waved your arms in the air, almost hitting yunjin. fortunately, she noticed it at the last second and was able to avoid it. as eunchae laughed, the girl glared at the side of your head in distaste, but you didn't notice her.

yunjin resisted the urge to roll her eyes, but she tuned out your irritating rant and tried to distract herself by scanning the comments, which were unfortunately filled with your beloved idol's name, causing her to look away in defeat.

"and her voice! i don't know. it's small, but soothing and really good to listen to?" you hummed thoughtfully.

"that's true, unnie." eunchae butted in, causing you to nod.

"also! she's so caring towards her members and really kind! she's also a good cook, according to what i've heard! not to mention, really generous..." you trailed off, recalling how she gifted her staff some really expensive things, but you shook your head to snap out of your lovestruck trance and resumed your rant.

"i don't know. she's just so… perfect!"

that was your conclusion before you changed the subject due to a fan's mention of food. eunchae joined in, but yunjin remained silent as her mind raced.

when you returned to the dorm, you went straight to your room, while yunjin stayed in the living room with chaewon. while sakura was still out on a schedule, eunchae joined you to get her daily dose of cuddles.

the only other two members awake were enveloped in silence, and chaewon found yunjin's behavior odd, frequently looking up from her phone to check on the emerican, who stared blankly at the wall. the leader, though concerned, waited for yunjin to open up, but after a solid 15 minutes, her concern about the american's unusual behavior only grew.

"yunjin—"

"unnie."

chaewon blinked at her dull voice and almost jumped out of her seat when yunjin turned her head to her leader. chaewon raised her eyebrows, urging yunjin to tell her what was bothering her, which yunjin did.

"am i gorgeous?"

despite being perplexed, chaewon responded to the question. she noticed no signs of insecurity in her eyes, which was a relief. besides, if yunjin was truly insecure, she would be in bed with you right now, not chaewon. however, she still found the american in front of her odd.

"yes, you are, jen."

"is my voice soothing and really good to listen to?" yunjin threw her another question, causing the frown on chaewon's forehead to deepen. yunjin either noticed but ignored or didn't notice chaewon's weirded out expression.

"you're a vocalist for a reason, yunjin." chaewon replied.

yunjin blinked. "am i caring and kind?"

it was chaewon's turn to blink as she wondered just where the hell these questions were coming from, but she decided to join in whatever games yunjin was playing, if indeed this was one.

"yes."

"am i a good cook?"

chaewon sighed, her patience dwindling, as she ran her hand down her face. yunjin, on the other hand, remained unaffected and waited for her leader's response, which chaewon begrudgingly provided after seeing the blank yet awaiting gaze.

"jesus christ, yunjin. yes, you are a good cook. y/n-ie has mentioned numerous times."

a flash of emotion flashed across the american's eyes, causing chaewon to raise a brow, but yunjin didn't give her a chance to respond as she turned around to retire to her room, but not before thanking her leader.

chaewon frowned as yunjin walked upstairs before eunchae appeared with a sleepy grin and sakura made her presence known by placing a hand on chaewon's shoulder.

"what the hell was that?" chaewon asked, perplexed.

sakura chuckled. "chaewon-ah, a certain someone likes a certain someone in this dorm."

chaewon blinked. "eh? yunjin likes someone?" 

sakura gave the younger girl a look, waiting for it to click, which didn't take too long. 

oh. 

chaewon sighed in disbelief as realization dawned on her face. meanwhile, eunchae greeted sakura with a hug while mumbling into the coat sakura forgot to take off after hearing yunjin's strange questions as soon as she entered the dorm.

"yunjin unnie was blushing."

chaewon snickered and rose to assist sakura with her coat, as eunchae refused to let go of the newly arrived japanese girl. "after i told her about y/n?"

eunchae nodded in response, not bothering to mention the words' familiarity. but sakura already knew because she had been watching the live stream, and chaewon was bound to find out soon enough, given that she had been on her phone earlier. she'd later discover your and joohyun's names, along with eunchae and yunjin, were trending.

"how come we never knew?" chaewon queried thoughtfully.

sakura shrugged. "exactly my question."

eunchae rubbed her eyes. "i think kazuha unnie knows."

chaewon and sakura shared an amused look. "of course zuha would."

yes, kazuha knew. even before yunjin told her about her conflicting emotions—conflicting because yunjin didn't even want them in the first place, but she couldn't do anything about it if her heart was fiercely beating for a certain girl in the group.

the poor ballerina, on the other hand, was unfortunately very much aware of what others couldn't see due to her observant nature, but she didn't mind. only that it irritates her to no end to watch some people dance around their obvious feelings, at least to kazuha, rather than acting on them.

but now, kazuha is watching you bounce all over the place due to your excitement. the group would be attending a variety show, and your beloved idol would be there as one of the emcees. your nervousness and exhilaration initially clashed within you, but the latter eventually won. therefore, your members and staff had an excessively happy puppy.

you were not informed that you would be attending this show because they knew you would be overjoyed for days and they wouldn't be able to handle you. yunjin, in particular, who grumbled when told a few days earlier by chaewon and was pouting in the corner at the moment, her eyes following your every move with an irritated scowl.

"I'M MEETING IRENE SUNBAENIM!"

yunjin's glaring eyes were caught by kazuha, but the latter averted her gaze with a click of her tongue before returning to watching you. however, the ballerina could see the affection buried behind the very thin line of displeasure in her eyes, causing her to chuckle, but she stopped when you halted in front of her.

"i'm so excited, zuha-yah." you bounced in front of her.

kazuha smiled and reached for your hand to ground you. "please calm down, unnie."

"i can't!" you whined, pouting.

chaewon came over and attempted to pat your head, but she couldn't reach your height, so she patted your cheek instead.

"you'll get tired if you keep bouncing around, so please sit with yunjin for a while."

yunjin snapped out of her glaring at the mention of her name and panicked internally as she saw you walking up. she yelped, barely catching you as you dramatically fell on her, but she sighed as you nestled up against her embrace.

"you scared me, dumbass."

you chuckled. "sorry. chaewon unnie told me to relax with you."

yunjin scoffed, but tightened her grip around your waist. "relaxing with me doesn't mean falling on me, y/n."

you, on the other hand, did not respond to her. yunjin took a brief glance but ended up staring when she discovered your eyelids had fallen shut.

sakura, who was still sat in front of the mirror, noticed you finally relaxing with the resident american. she smiled at the thought that yunjin was the only one who could ground you. you were always so quick to surrender to yunjin's familiar warmth and soothing embrace, and yunjin was always ready to offer it to you when you needed it.

"they're so cute, unnie!" eunchae squealed, but tried to keep it down as she approached sakura, and the older of the two agreed.

"when is yunjin unnie going to confess though?" kazuha stressed from nearby.

"speaking of." chaewon piped up. "since when, zuha?"

kazuha shrugged. "since forever, unnie! it's actually stressing me out."

the others laughed, and kazuha sighed before joining them. it was peaceful for a while before the group was summoned to the set and you were back on bouncing, but this time in anxiety.

"y/n, please settle down." chaewon sighed.

"i can't stop it!" you whisper-yelled.

kazuha shot yunjin a look, but the american was already approaching you. while you were jumping, a hand grabbed your waist and pulled you into the familiar warmth of yunjin's body. you stumbled, but her other hand darted out to hold your elbow steady.

"calm down please."

you gave her a timid smile, and she rolled her eyes tenderly, squeezing you in assurance. she couldn't feel anything other than admiration right now as she clutched you closely. you enjoyed yunjin's presence while remaining silent, and yunjin did the same before the peace was disrupted once more.

when the chatters were heard, everyone turned, and your eyes widened, meeting the bae joohyun's gentle eyes. you bowed profusely, and she returned it with a wide smile.

although joohyun's bow was meant for everyone, her gaze lingered a little too long on you, which yunjin noticed. her grasp on your waist tightened and she drew you closer, but you were too preoccupied with seeing your beloved idol walk away.

"holy shit, jen."

yunjin resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "yeah, yeah. i know, y/n."

soon enough, the show began, and you spent nearly half of it looking at the woman. you were relieved that you didn't have to speak as much, but whenever you did, chaewon would nudge you out of your daydream and sakura would help you with your words because you seemed to have forgotten how to speak. throughout the ordeal, eunchae was just silently chuckling. 

meanwhile, yunjin was next to you, watching you stare and stumble over your words, sadness in the pit of her stomach physically hidden by a trained grin. kazuha, on the other hand, noticed and patted her on the back.

joohyun didn't take long to notice your dazed stare. she was speaking as scripted, but suddenly laughed, flustered, when she caught your starstruck expression, confusing everyone. you blinked and pointed at yourself, your gaze briefly meeting yunjin's.

"i'm sorry. y/n-ssi, you just look so adorable."

you flushed as crimson as a tomato at the compliment and bowed excessively, words of gratitude stumbling out of your mouth in a hurry. your members teased you as yunjin laughed genuinely this time because she agrees with her senior, heart flipping at the sight of your red face.

"i'm sorry. it's just… i'm a really big fan, sunbaenim." you admitted shyly.

joohyun gave you a wide smile. "seulgi and wendy told me, and i've also seen clips of your… admiration."

you shrieked and used yunjin as your human shield to hide your embarrassment. despite the displeasure she was feeling, yunjin held you while the others laughed before you were pulled out of protection by chaewon.

"and thank you so much for loving me." joohyun said, causing you to bow. 

you were at a loss for words, but the next thing she said prompted you to shut down and flee to hide from everyone.

"but i can say i'm a fan, too, y/n-ssi. your voice is really good to listen to and you're perfect."

you hid among the members of the group's management staff, and yunjin was ready to retrieve you when joohyun beat her to it. with a small frown that she quickly hid, yunjin watched silently as joohyun coaxed you out of hiding.

"i'm sorry, come on. don't hide."

yunjin looked at your joined hands as you practically melted with the senior next to you and in your presence. when the displeasure growing in her chest became too great for her to bear, the american had to look away, but she peered at your flustered state when joohyun successfully drew you back next to her.

the show went on without a hitch except for you being teased for having such admiration for the woman while yunjin remained unusually silent, joining in here and there when she felt like it or when you clutched to her arm.

and yunjin couldn't enjoy your touch as much as she wanted to because your eyes were on someone else. if she wanted your attention, she needed it all. she didn't like sharing. but then again, you weren't hers to share with anyone in the first place.

the show came to a conclusion, and you were swept away by the one and only joohyun. it was obvious that the woman had developed feelings for you, but everyone knew, including yourself, it was joohyun's motherly instincts kicking in.

everyone knew, but yunjin.

yunjin felt she couldn't endure the anguish at the sigh of you being held by another and turned on her heels to flee after seeing how caring and loving joohyun was to you. she attempted to be covert and quick, but as soon as she tried to blend into the crowd, a pair of eyes were trained on the back of her head like a target.

yunjin was soon back at the dorm. she laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. her thoughts was blank, but she was aching all over and wasn't sure if it was because of you or just tiredness. however, she didn't bother figuring it out because your interactions with your favorite idol played out in her head like a romance movie.

yunjin couldn't get it out of her head, no matter how hard she tried.

fortunately, although being out of it at the time, yunjin was able to process the knock on her door. she got to her feet and opened the door, her eyes widening when she saw your hesitant form. her eyes swept over your body, finding you adorable in the pajamas she had bought you at random, and she smiled weakly.

"y/n? it's late."

you shuffled around, refusing to meet her eyes. "i know. i'm sorry, were you already sleeping?"

yunjin shook her head and stepped aside to let you in. "no, no. i couldn't sleep."

you gave her a short smile, and yunjin almost fell over simply to see it again, but she kept her composure as she followed you to her bed. after noticing your hesitation, the american took a seat and motioned for you to do the same.

"is everything okay? did you get a nightmare?" yunjin fussed over you, brows furrowed in worry.

you shook your head. "no, no. i'm fine. i just… wanted to check on you."

yunjin's heart wrenched as you looked up at her, your hesitation spinning in your orbs. the american sighed and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear before caressing your chin to make you hold her stare, which you had avoided since entering her room.

"i appreciate, but why?" yunjin asked.

you fiddled with your thumbs. "i saw you leaving earlier and you were ignoring me."

yunjin quickly shook her head. she wasn't ignoring you, and she didn't mean to. she just avoided interactions with you in order to process the concept of you and joohyun, but she kept an eye on you throughout the craziness of eventually finishing the day.

"i was not ignoring you, but i'm sorry if it felt like that." yunjin murmured softly, leaning down to meet your gaze. "i was just tired."

but you shook your head. "i know you, jen, we've been friends for so long. what's wrong?"

yunjin frowned, ignoring the painful tug on her heart at the term you used, which was true. the american considered the pros and cons of giving you the truth against fabricating a lie, but the way you were looking at her right now with such vulnerability and worry broke yunjin's resolve.

"i…" yunjin trailed off before sighing. "i've always been content to admire you silently."

yunjin smiled as she opened her mouth to spill her inevitable confession after a quick prayer for her soul and you to take it kindly, ignoring the large part of her wishing that you'd accept her confession.

"i've memorized every single habit you've established over the years, no matter how long ago you developed them or how recently it came up. i have liked every single one of your antics, and no matter how ridiculous they were, i always thought you were so adorable." 

yunjin smiled softly, and you returned it shyly, a scarlet hue flashing over your nose, but then her grin faded slightly. you pricked up, worried, and wanted to reach out to perhaps console her, but you hesitated. you weren't sure if she wanted your comfort, so you opted to listen. yunjin, on the other hand, saw the nearly imperceptible movement of your hand and couldn't help the quick smile.

yunjin sighed. "y/n, i swear i tried. i was perfectly satisfied with just admiring you silently. i tried to ignore the negative side of my feelings—the annoyance, the sadness, the displeasure. everything."

"but i can't pretend you don't effect me anymore, and believe me when i say i don't mind, but it just hurts."

yunjin observed calmly as the gears in your brain turned to quickly absorb her words, but you frowned in uncertainty. yunjin knew you understood; you weren't that stupid. she also knew you needed more assurance and simple words since you were concerned you were reading too much into her little statement.

so yunjin gave you a teary grin because she knew her next words would define your relationship.

"i like you, y/n. more than a friend should."

you hung your head, teeth biting into your bottom lip, as the words smacked you in the face. yunjin stared at the top of your head, willing herself to be prepared for your rejection, but every fiber of her being knew she wouldn't take it well. 

when you raised your head again, her breath caught in her throat as she saw your sweet smile and loving eyes, hope flooding her chest.

"i knew."

it was yunjin's turn to be astounded. her eyes widened as she leaned forward, encouraging you to repeat it and making you laugh.

"you weren't subtle, but i didn't allow it get to my head just in case i was reading too much into your intentions." you grinned happily.

"but you weren't." yunjin mumbled.

you nodded. "turns out i wasn't."

"so?"

you laughed again, and yunjin took satisfaction in it as she saw you toss your head back. but when you leaned into her face with a smirk, the softness in your gaze was swiftly replaced by mischief. yunjin's heart skipped a beat as she tried, but eventually failed, not to gaze down at your lips.

"yunjin?"

she glanced up at you. "yeah?"

"were you jealous of irene unnie?"

yunjin's brow twitched at the title you were now permitted to use for your adored idol, and she tried to control herself, although she had no reason to do so this time. so she rolled her eyes so hard that you were scared they'd get trapped in the back, but you laughed in delight.

"i was not." yunjin denied, looking away.

you poked her nose. "looking away is a sign of lying, did you know that?"

yunjin huffed, but complied. she returned your gaze and her breath hitched once more as your palm reached up to caress her jaw. when you leaned in closer, she swallowed nervously, your warm breath hitting her cold lips. yunjin wanted to close the unpleasant gap between you, but decided to give you complete control.

and yunjin couldn't have been more grateful when you captured her lips.

sparks flew, butterflies swarmed, and every cliche she could think of occurred at the same time. yunjin's eyes fell shut as she tilted her head and reached for your neck to lock you in place.

at the same time, seconds felt both too long and too short. yunjin couldn't determine which of the two, but her attention was quickly drawn to the way you rested your brow against hers and inhaled lightly to catch your breath, which yunjin had taken from you.

"took you long enough." you chuckled. "i like you, too."

yunjin smiled. relief washed over her as her heart flipped a few times and she sought for your hand, the other still resting on your neck, refusing to let you go this time.

"you never dropped hints." yunjin panted.

you shook your head with a small huff. "neither did you, jen, but i just thought you were too perfect to even notice me."

"more perfect than irene sunbaenim?" yunjin joked, not wasting the opportuniy given to her. you gave her a look, almost as if judging the american, causing her to grin. "but i notice you, i do see you."

yunjin brought your hand to her lips and a faint smile appeared on her face, prompting you to return it, albeit sheepishly, as she pressed a kiss to your knuckles.

"and i like you so much, y/n."

you laughed at her goofy antics and squeezed her hand, a blush covering your cheeks that yunjin thought was adorable on you.

"i like you, too, so much, yunjin."

she hummed. "what about irene sunbaenim?"

you chuckled and pulled away to flick her forehead, causing her to yelp in pain.

"what the hell?!"

"joohyun unnie knew about you." you said, causing your girlfriend to frown in confusion. "i told her because unnie noticed the way you were glaring at her."

yunjin flushed. her jealousy was evident to the naked sight. to make matters worse, it was joohyun who noticed. the one she allegedly despised saw the look. you laughed at her, and she flashed you a short frown before sighing.

"i need to apologize and clarify some things."

you nodded in agreement. "you do, baby. you do."

yunjin's heart skipped a beat when she looked at you. you returned it until you felt embarrassed, bending in to avoid her sight. before leaping from the bed, you laid a delicate kiss on her lips. yunjin pouted and reached out to you as you approached the door.

"where are you going, my love? you can just sleep with me."

you smiled, red in the face. "i know, but i'm going to the kitchen; kkura unnie is cooking, and i believe everyone has arrived."

you opened the door and gave her one more look before disappearing down the dimly lighted corridor.

"i luvie you, jennifer huh."

yunjin, who was normally annoyed by your reveluv side because you idolized a particular leader, rolled her eyes fondly as she rose to her feet. before leaving her room to follow you, she picked up her phone and smiled at the lockscreen of your face that you had set a few weeks previously.

"i luvie you, too, l/n y/n."

it had been so long since that horrible meal with your girlfriend's idol friends, which you were certain you didn't want to go through again, and jimin was doing her best to make it up to you despite the scheduling issue between her and yours that seemed to refuse to match.

"i'm so sorry, my love. i can't make it today." jimin apologized quietly over the phone, attempting to fight back tears because she truly wanted to join you for the dinner she had arranged but couldn't because of the company.

"it's fine, baby. i understand. just calm down for me, okay?" you said softly, aware of your girlfriend's anxiety skyrocketing right now.

jimin sniffled silently, covering her face to conceal herself from those around her. "i love you, baby."

"and i love you." you replied sweetly, producing a silly kissing sound from your end to cheer her up.

jimin giggled as she hurried to wipe her tears, but she couldn't since more tears flowed due to her understanding girlfriend. "god. i really love you. i miss you, my y/n."

"i miss you, too, my rina."

there were also times when your schedule clashed with that of your normally busy partner.

"jimin, my boss is making everyone work overtime." you stressed, trying to focus on your task in front of you while talking on the phone with jimin. "i'll be late, i'm so sorry."

"breathe in and out, y/n-ah." jimin said softly, and you quickly obeyed her gentle command. "it's fine, baby. you'll be home, right?"

you huffed, looking up at your boss, who glared at you. "yes, love, i'll be there in an hour or so."

"then, my love, i'll be waiting for you with open arms."

when you and jimin finally met, she would always treat you as if it were her last day with you, while you tried to return the gesture, but jimin refused to make you do anything.

"stop that." jimin whined as she wrapped one arm around your waist from behind, the other reaching around to snatch the ladle from your grasp. "i told you to sit still and be pretty, baby!"

"but i want to help!" you argued, resting your back against her shoulder, causing jimin's arm to tighten around you to hold you closer while cooking.

jimin sighed. "no, y/n. didn't i say i'd make it up to you?"

"but—"

jimin leaned down for a quick second to press a firm kiss on your lips, and your eyes fluttered shut as your lips moved automatically against hers. jimin softly moaned as her fingers slid beneath your shirt and touched your skin. 

however, because jimin didn't want to end up burning down the apartment, the kiss had to be quick, but she tried to make the most of it, knowing that she wouldn't be able to see you properly for the next couple of days due to her idol life.

"i love you." jimin mumbled softly as she giggled and kissed your red ear.

you turned around in her embrace, your red face buried in her neck.  "i love you, too."

that was how the next few weeks were spent, both with and without jimin—broken apologies, quick explanations, soft reassurances, and very rare date nights, whether inside or outside the comfort of your apartment. jimin continued to spoil you and make it up to you whenever she could, but gave in after you convinced her to calm down, which you did because your heart felt like it was about to burst.

naturally, jimin was not the only person in your life. you also had yizhuo and minjeong. last but not least, your best friend, aeri.

you decided to visit the girls during their practice at the company, and minjeong gladly assisted you in getting through to surprise their stressed leader, while it was yizhuo who called you to inform you of jimin's state. jimin didn't notice you at first because she was busy talking to the choreographer, but when she did, she lit up like a christmas tree and sprinted towards you.

"baby?" jimin said softly as she wrapped her arms around your waist and buried her face in your neck.

"surprise?" you mumbled in her ear, tangling your fingers in her hair to brush through the strands as you returned the hug.

jimin chuckled tearfully. "surprise indeed."

"you'd better thank me, unnie!" yizhuo spoke up, crossing her arms.

"and me." minjeong added.

jimin rolled her eyes before pulling away from you to glare at her members, but she kept her grip on your hand. you looked around the dance studio for your best friend and paused when you saw her walk in.

"aeri!" you said, pulling away from jimin to run towards your best friend, wrapping her in an embrace.

aeri tensed up beneath your touch, but you ignored it as you clung to your best friend. jimin returned her gaze to you and her japanese companion, watching as aeri, albeit hesitantly, wrapped her arms around you.

"y/n, hey." aeri murmured as her heart thrashed wildly in her chest, which she tried hard to hide from her leader's probing gaze. regardless, aeri couldn't help but sway you to the nonexistent music while caressing your sides.

as jimin kept a wary eye on aeri, you drew away from the japanese to smile up at her, causing aeri to smile back, but it was small and weak. worried, you opened your mouth to ask her, but the choreographer cut you off by clapping her hands and indicating that it was time to resume practice.

with that, aeri separated from you, avoiding your soft look and your partner's heated gaze. your heart dropped ever so slightly, worried about your best friend. jimin caught your gaze and smiled, which you returned, but you returned your gaze to aeri when your girlfriend looked away, worriedly frowning as you took a seat on the floor.

you sat quietly in the back the entire time, watching the girls and cheering them on whenever one of them struggled a little. you tried to keep your gaze fixed on jimin, who smiled at you through the mirror. you were captivated, as always, by the way jimin danced so effortlessly, looking as stunning as ever despite the sweat. 

your eyes, however, was always drawn to aeri. 

but only because you were worried. you couldn't get the quick and brief interaction you had with her earlier out of your head, growing concerned as she seemed to ignore your presence. aeri didn't bother looking in the mirror to meet your gaze, nor did she turn around to look at you. despite being so close, your best friend seemed to distance herself from you even during short breaks.

"are you okay, baby?" a voice from next to you jolted you out of your trance, and turned to see jimin glancing back and forth at you and aeri, whom you had been staring at. "is there something wrong?"

you shook your head quickly as your heart rate increased due to being caught by none other than jimin herself, but you tried to convince yourself that it was her voice that caused your heart to thrash. 

"no, no, nothing is wrong, love." you reassured, weakly smiling.

but you weren't sure whether you were reassuring jimin or yourself.

jimin locked her gaze on you for a brief moment. she could read you like a book, even if it didn't have anything written on it, because she had known you for a long time. she could see your hesitation and uncertainty right now, which you weren't even aware of. 

but, for your sake and, unknowingly, for hers, jimin nodded, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on your lips. you paused for a beat before cupping her cheeks and kissing her back.

aeri glanced at you just in time, but she wished she hadn't. her heart fell to her stomach for the nth time, and she forced herself to look away, willing her heart to stop yearning for your heart, which was already held by someone else.

as the dance practice came to an end, you excused yourself to the restroom for a brief moment, and jimin agreed to wait for you outside. you came to a halt when you saw your best friend bending over the sink, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"aeri?" you called out to her, your heart breaking as you saw your clearly broken best friend.

stunned, aeri tried to wipe her tear-stained cheeks, but she couldn't because the tears kept falling. aeri wasn't sure whether to reassure you or push you away, her exhausted mind scrambling for an excuse. she paused when you forced her to face you, soft hands cupping her reddened cheeks—the same hands that cupped jimin's face earlier, but aeri could only think that they were now holding her cheeks.

"what's wrong?" you asked softly, unknowingly soothing aeri with your mere voice—the same voice that calls jimin loving nicknames, but aeri could only remember that it was she who fell in love with it first.

aeri shook her head, resting her brow against your shoulder to keep her face hidden from you. "nothing, y/n. i'm just stressed."

"about the dance?" you inquired, not wanting to push her but still concerned. "you were amazing, though."

"you think so?" aeri asked, feeling vulnerable and weak against you as she wrapped one arm around her waist and held onto the sink for support, knowing that even if she held onto you, her knees would buckle the longer you held her so lovingly.

"i know so." you replied, giggling softly and pressing your lips against her hair—the same lips that jimin had touched with her own, but aeri could only wish that she was the one you were kissing instead.

"thank you, y/n-ah." aeri said as she drew away.

you smiled. "of course, gi."

there was silence between the two of you, and you found yourself staring at your best friend with soft eyes because you didn't know what to say next. 

but why was your heart racing so loudly right now? 

you hid it on the outside, but you were panicking on the inside as you felt aeri's touch on your waist tingle your skin. it had to be because aeri had been ignoring my presence the entire time, and now that i think about it, aeri had been ignoring me since that dinner with their idol friends, you thought to yourself, brows furrowing in confusion.

meanwhile, aeri admired your worried but pretty face, her heart jumping excitedly to her throat.

she gulped nervously and opened her mouth to speak, unable to keep quiet any longer. "you look—"

but aeri couldn't finish her thought because another voice interrupted her. "y/n, my love?"

aeri looked up as you turned around, both of you watching as jimin entered with a worried expression on her face. jimin smiled at you, but paused as she cast a wary glance at aeri, who returned her timid smile.

"ah, baby. sorry!" you apologized, reaching out to take jimin's hand in yours.

"is everything all right?" jimin inquired before looking up at aeri and noticing her red eyes. jimin's leader instincts kicked in as her eyes softened. "gigi? your eyes are red."

aeri waved her hand dismissively and turned away, her heart heavy not only with jealousy for jimin, but also with guilt as a result of jimin's genuine concern. "i'm fine, unnie."

"you should get going before you're late for your date." aeri added, smiling weakly.

jimin frowned, but nodded, despite her desire for more definitive answers. you smiled reassuringly at aeri, who returned it in kind, her heart pounding loudly in her ear. aeri watched as jimin led you out of the restroom and she nearly collapsed if it weren't for her grip on the sink, her hand flying to cover her mouth as a sob wrack through her throat.

"—so gorgeous."

soon after, you and jimin became overly busy, with neither of you having much time to spend with the other. 

as your phone rang for the fourth time tonight, you answered it blindly while moving around with your coworkers. despite how tired you were, you both tried to apologize and explain, and you were both understanding, but jimin couldn't deny the underlying exhaustion of another kind, which you tried to ignore, but, whether you liked it or not, this kind of setup was seriously draining you too much.

it didn't help that you were also dealing with another set of emotions.

most of the time, you'd come home to an empty apartment, but you'd grown accustomed to it, so the rare occasions when jimin was able to come home to you would surprise you as if it were a stranger in your home rather than your girlfriend.

"hello?" you mumbled, pausing when you heard the familiar but weak giggle on the other end of the line. "rina? shit."

"hello to you, too, baby." jimin said softly as she looked around the empty living room of their dorm. "are you alright there?"

you sighed, exhausted. "sorry, baby. i'm working overtime. are you home?"

"no, i'm at the dorms." jimin replied softly as she leaned back against the plush pillows of the couch, nibbling on her bottom lip as the desire to see you overcame her.

you nodded despite the fact that you knew she couldn't see you. "shouldn't you be resting, then?"

"i needed to hear your voice first." jimin mumbled softly, pouting.

you chuckled quietly. "how was your day?"

"very tiring!" jimin complained as she hugged the plush pillow, pretending to be you. "i hate my job sometimes."

"i do, too." you grumbled, sandwiching the phone between your ear and shoulder and setting the papers down on your desk. "you and the girls don't get any rest at all."

jimin let out a weak laugh. "well, tomorrow is a rest day; are you available?"

you frowned and bit your lower lip in shame. "i'm afraid i'm not baby..."

jimin sighed and nodded slowly, her sad eyes fixed on the pillow. "i hate your stupid boss."

you burst out laughing. "speaking of, i see him."

"call me when you get home?" jimin asked, her heart pounding. she didn't want to let you go, but she also didn't want you fired.

"i promise, i love you." you mumbled weakly, your heart hurting at the sound of your soft girlfriend's weak voice.

"i love you, too."

jimin sighed as the phone call ended. her mind raced with so many ideas, but it all came down to the fact that she despised both of your hectic schedules, particularly hers. jimin stared blankly at the ceiling, but her vision was distorted by the tears that refused to leave her eyes.

"you look stupid, unnie." 

jimin jumped in surprise and turned around, tears streaming down her cheeks, when she heard the voice.

"ah, giselle." jimin mumbled, rushing to catch her tears and compose herself, but failing miserably. "why are you awake?"

aeri frowned worriedly before sitting next to Jimin, ready to console her because, even though she was her crush's girlfriend, jimin was and always will be her sister, leader, and friend.

"what happened?" aeri asked quietly.

"nothing is happening. i hate it." jimin replied, huffing angrily, and she went on to explain when aeri just stared at her in confusion. "y/n and i haven't been able to see each other in a few weeks because of my idol career, which is frustrating."

"y/n has her own job as well, and her boss is making everyone work overtime." jimin added.

aeri sighed sympathetically, finding it difficult to discuss jimin's romantic involvement with you, but she continued to comfort and support her leader. jimin continued to rant about the situation, oblivious to aeri's internal conflict, before finally breaking down in the arms of the japanese girl.

aeri sighed and patted jimin on the back. "i'm sure there will be time for you two to meet up soon, unnie."

jimin sobbed quietly, "i want my girlfriend."

i want your girlfriend, too, aeri thought to herself, but soon felt guilty for her audacity. not wanting to betray both sides, aeri silently wallowed in her own longing, but continued to console her sad leader.

as promised, you called jimin as soon as you got home and engaged in a sweet and soft conversation with her while getting ready for bed, exchanging declarations of love and words of reassurance, but the call ended due to jimin falling asleep. you were ranting about something you couldn't remember then your girlfriend was snoring softly, which you found so adorable that you couldn't bring yourself to wake her up or get angry with her.

so you stayed with her on the phone for a few more minutes before hanging up and going to bed.

you were unsure of what to expect the following day. sure, you were aware of the upcoming busy day due to some projects that your boss had assigned to everyone, to the point where you were unable to check your phone, which kept vibrating due to notifications from family and friends. 

when you finally got a chance to check your phone in the restroom, you were astounded by the number of messages and missed calls.

"what the hell is going on?" you wondered as you scrolled through it.

here are a few notifications on your lockscreen, ranging from worried to enraged:

have you seen it?

girl, answer the phone.

y/n, where are you?

are you still working? 

the fuck do they mean?

please answer!

check your phone!

16 missed calls from mom.

you didn't get to continue scrolling because you frowned at the last two notifications before scrambling to open your social media account, heart racing wildly in your chest, but the photo that greeted you made you pause, wondering whether you should be thankful or regretful.

nonetheless, what you saw caused your heart to shatter. dispatch they had taken a photo of your girlfriend with jeno, stating nonsense in their article headlines.

aespa karina and nct dream jeno rumored to be dating!

"i'd date karina," you remembered jeno saying when chenle made a joke about who yizhuo would date and was overheard by everyone.

you leaned against the sink and covered your mouth as a sob got stuck in your throat, hoping not to alert any of your coworkers. while you examined the photograph, your heart pounded painfully against your ribcage. despite the masks, you could see jeno smile down at jimin while she was laughing happily with her head thrown back—the same way she laughed whenever she was with you.

your vision blurred as tears filled your eyes, making it difficult to see your phone screen clearly, but you did notice your girlfriend's name at the top of the messaging app, 46 unread messages from jimin, before it was quickly replaced by another name, which had just come in.

i'm on my way, y/n. stay put.

you collapsed as your knees weakened and unbuckled, clutching your phone to your chest in a futile attempt to stop your heart from beating so fast while you tried to catch your breath.

not only was your heart hurting, but it was also skipping a beat.

you curled up against yourself, tears streaming down your cheeks nonstop, trying to tune out the loud ringing in your ears that your mind mistook for jeno's taunting laugh while you waited for someone, brokenly whispering her name into the air.

"aeri..."

nikko note: i'm late, but since you asked, i'll deliver. also, sorry to disappoint, but this is not a comeback. i just stopped by because why not? if you've read this, goddamn, you still remember me? huhu. i feel like my skills are rusty now due to not being able to write since i said good bye to y'all, so i'm really sorry if this is a shit quality fic. but thank you for making it till the end, you guys! part 3 will be released in 2026 (🤭). just kidding. who knows? anyway, see y'all around!

parts : 【 pt. 1 】 【 pt. 2 】

this was not how you expected your evening to go.

you'd think that if jimin brought you to a night out with her idol friends, she'd make you feel at ease. you didn't know them and weren't close to them because you weren't an idol. you knew their names, but not who they truly are as people. 

so you expected jimin, your girlfriend, to look after you or at least talk to you in this restaurant she had taken you to. however, the moment the two of you entered the restaurant, she was whisked away by her idol friends, leaving you alone and perplexed because she didn't even look back at you or drag you along with her.

as you watched her interact with jeno and minjeong, you ignored the pain in your chest. her smile was definitely not that big when it was directed at you earlier today, but you assumed your girlfriend was just excited to see them and let it slip, and looked away when you noticed someone approaching you out of the corner of your eyes.

"aeri!"

the japanese smiled broadly at you and embraced you, which you eagerly returned. yizhuo appeared behind aeri and replaced the japanese girl, pushing the older girl away because she was taking her time embracing you. as you wrapped your arms around yizhuo, you sent an apologetic look to aeri, and the japanese shyly smiled back.

"come, unnie, meet the others!"

the guys were introduced to you by aeri and yizhuo, but you weren't paying attention because your gaze was fixed on the guy jimin was talking to. jeno had this expression on his face, and you recognized it because jimin has it whenever she looks at you, and you know you have it too when jimin does something ridiculously adorable. he had this wide soft smile on his face and crescent moon-shaped eyes as he watched jimin enthusiastically talk about something you couldn't really hear because they were too far away from you. they were standing close, perhaps a little too close for comfort because one wrong move and their skin would come into contact.

you shifted your gaze away when you felt a gentle hand on your shoulder. aeri frowned at you, her brows furrowed in worry, and you raised your brows in silent question.

"are you okay?" aeri asked, looking over at yizhuo, who was fighting with chenle.

you couldn't help but curse the japanese. when it comes to you, nothing would escape the notice of your best friend. aeri knew you too well, so even if you tried to lie your way out of this situation, she could still question you later.

"yes, ri. i'm fine." you smiled reassuringly, but aeri could see how it didn't reach your eyes as easily as it usually did. she couldn't ask you any more questions about it because you turned to shake mark's hand, who grinned cutely.

jimin, whose attention was drawn by the arguing duo, turned to scold them but stopped when she noticed you talking with mark. she watched you lean in as mark whispered something into your ear and you laughed, a red tint appearing across your cheeks, causing the canadian to smile lightly. a frown appeared on jimin's face, her ears turned red, and you would be able to tell she was jealous if only you looked at her. 

however, you were too busy laughing with aeri and mark.

"come on, let's go! i'm hungry!"

due to haechan's insistent whining, everyone gathered around the table. jimin would normally pull a chair out for you, but she didn't. instead, she took jeno's hand as he drew her chair out, causing you to look at her in disbelief, which she did not return as she left you standing and continued talking to jeno and minjeong.

"here, y/n." as aeri pulled out the chair next to your girlfriend, she gave you an apologetic look, causing you to smile sadly at her.

"thank you, gigi."

jimin gave you a quick glance and watched you sit down with aeri's assistance, but she quickly turned away when the japanese gave her a hard glare. jimin felt bad for leaving you standing and strange because she was always pulling out your chair. however, her jealousy returned in full force when she heard you talking to mark, so she turned her attention to jeno.

both you and jimin were preoccupied with something or someone else while waiting for the food. it perplexed the boys, at least the ones introduced to you, as they stared at you and jimin literally back to back, not facing each other even once or uttering a single word between you two.

as much as it irritated you to hear your girlfriend laugh at someone else's stupid jokes, aka jeno's and occasionally minjeong's clumsy antics, rather than yours, your pride and annoyance won out. you scooted closer to aeri, the chair making a noise that drew jimin's attention to you as you rested your head against aeri's shoulder.

aeri tensed up, but relaxed once she realized it was you. "hey there."

"hey, gigi." you whispered. "can you help me out?"

"with… what?" as she trailed off, you could hear the hesitation in her voice. honestly, you were unsure about this as well, and aeri was aware of it. she pushed through her words, however, because she was curious of what you had in mind.

"making jimin jealous."

aeri knew it was a bad idea. she knew jimin would raise hell if you push her buttons, but how could she say no to your innocent face resting against her shoulder right now? more importantly, aeri was irritated by the way her leader was behaving.

so aeri nodded and rested her head against yours. you could see jimin glaring daggers at the two of you out of the corner of your eye, but she remained silent and returned to her conversation with the others, mainly jeno.

"y/n, do you wanna hear a joke?"

as you watched haechan wiggle his brows at you, you laughed. some of his members groaned, and jisung from across the table shook his head at you, but you wanted to give the boy a chance, so you nodded.

"alright. give it a shot, haechan."

mark sighed. "y/n, you're gonna regret that."

"yah! don't say that!"

you were having a good time because the boys were entertaining, especially haechan, who made the entire table laugh with his antics. although your girlfriend's behavior irritated you, you clung to aeri, trying to ignore the jealousy that bubbled up in your chest whenever you saw jimin smack jeno's arm.

you didn't know, but jimin, on the other hand, kept an eye on the japanese. she trusted aeri, but that was her girlfriend clinging on her arm. nonetheless, jimin interacted a bit too much with jeno.

soon enough, the food arrived. jimin turned to you out of habit to assist you with your food, but aeri had already beaten her to it. the leader watched with glaring eyes as aeri smiled gently at you, listening to you blabber about how much you love the food, and then filled your plate with it.

aeri shook her head in disbelief. "you always eat this, y/n/n."

you pouted at her. "what? you can't blame me! it's just so good, gigi."

"i know, i know." 

at the sight of your adorable pout, aeri couldn't help but pinch your cheeks, her nose scrunched. jimin tensed up next to you, her brow furrowed, but she averted her gaze when minjeong spoke, catching your and aeri's attention.

"unnie, can you get me that?" asking politely, the girl pointed at the dish in front of jimin.

jimin smiled at her, causing the girl to flush lightly in embarrassment. "of course, jeong-ie."

your nose scrunched in disapproval at jimin's response, and your eyes squinted as your girlfriend did as she was told, even filling minjeong's plate. aeri noticed the sadness and jealousy in your eyes and placed a hand on your knee, diverting your attention to mark, who was answering renjun's random question.

it helped divert your attention away from your admittedly stupid actions and jealousy and toward nark, whom you found genuinely admirable that you couldn't help but compliment.

"wow. you're so cool."

mark stammered, unsure how to respond to your sudden compliment because you had just stared at him, dumbfounded, earlier. the table erupted into cheers and teasing, haechan reaching over to smack him, but mark had hidden his face behind his palms.

"i was just complimenting him." you tried to defuse the situation, but your words only made mark's face flush further.

jimin scoffing and tasting not the food but the disbelief on her tongue as you struggled to get everyone to stop. she side-eyed the still-blushing canadian as she stuffed her mouth with food, but her eyes widened in surprise when a hand from her right brushed her hair away from her face. she looked at jeno, who smiled back.

"let me just…" jeno trailed off, tucking her hair behind her ears. "there."

jimin cleared her throat. "thank you."

jeno's smile widened, and jimin turned to face you, who were watching the interaction as you sat back down in your seat. when your girlfriend's gaze met yours, you quickly averted your gaze. jimin sighed, disappointed and frustrated by your refusal to even look her way or interact with her.

the night progressed without a single interaction between you two, and as the seconds passed, you began to crave your girlfriend's attention and warmth. you tried to divert your attention by conversing with the other, but your gaze was drawn to your right, where your girlfriend sat, quietly giggling with jeno, who smiled as if he had won the lottery.

jimin, on the other hand, was just putting up an act, not wanting to come off as rude despite the fact her head's about to explode from the headache caused by your actions and jeno himself, and wanted nothing more than to snatch you from aeri's arm and be the one making you laugh right now instead of mark and haechan. however, your girlfriend being known as a prideful person, jimin didn't do anything.

that being said, at some point during the evening, you gave in and reached out for jimin's hand on the table. you tried to take her hand in yours, but the moment your skin touched hers, she jumped as if burned and dropped your hand, causing your heart to drop down to your stomach.

the pain spreading across your chest was unbearable that you didn't notice you had averted your to the palms of your hands, which you had dropped in your lap, tears obscuring your previously clear vision. however, before your thoughts could go haywire, you felt a gentle grip on your left hand and it was moved to another's lap.

you raised your head, sniffling quietly, and saw aeri smile at you. the japanese subtly wiped away a tear that had slipped and pinched your cheek.

"hey, i got you." she whispered softly.

you nodded, still sniffling. "okay."

"is she okay?" you heard mark asking quietly as you tried your best to compose yourself, and you gave him a weak smile when he tried to look at you, which he returned.

"something just got in her eyes."

you saw mark nod and he gave you another smile, in which you oddly enough found comfort. you returned it, but it was wider this time, prompting the canadian to nod and join renjun and jaemin's conversation. you squeezed aeri's hand, drawing her attention away from yizhuo and chenle. the japanese raised her brows in silent question, leaning forward.

"thank you, gi."

aeri smiled with a twinkle in her eyes that you couldn't recognize. "of course, y/n/n."

with aeri and mark making sure you were okay, all was going well, as well as this dinner could go at least. but not until chenle asked his best friend, yizhuo, a question that was meant to be a joke but was so loud that everyone heard it.

"oh? oh? who would you date at this table?"

haechan perked up. "well, that's an interesting question."

you and jimin both remained silent. you had nothing to say to that since you were dating jimin, and the leader had no plans to respond because she already had you. jimin glanced at your hand in aeri's hand, frowning sadly before turning to face jeno, who had leaned forward to answer the question.

"i'd date karina."

the entire table fell silent at jeno's response, the stupidly innocent boy staring right into jimin's eyes, and you watched as your girlfriend stared back, her eyes wide in surprise. you, on the other hand, could feel anger coursing through your veins as you glared at the boy, which the boy, unfortunately, did not notice.

"hyung?" chenle hissed quietly from next to yizhuo, who shuffled uncomfortably in her seat and looked at you with concern.

the other boys looked at jeno in disbelief, all thinking the same thing that renjun couldn't help but mutter. "idiot."

"thank you." jimin couldn't say anything because her worried eyes were fixed on you, hoping you'd look at her, but you shifted your gaze from jeno to the table.

"y/n."

when another voice joined the conversation, everyone was taken aback. jimin almost got whiplash from turning her head so quickly to look at the person who spoke, her eyes blazing with fire. you jumped out of your skin when your name was mentioned, your eyes wide.

"mark. what did you say?" jimin hissed, voice laced with venom, no longer caring about honorifics. you cast a worried glance at your girlfriend, who returned it but quickly averted her gaze to continue glaring at the canadian.

mark, on the other hand, was not scared of the younger woman and was not moved by her abrupt change of attitude. instead, he simply smiled, a small glint of mischief in his eyes.

"i said. i'd date y/n."

"are you stupid?" renjun grumbled underneath his breath. his members, with the exception of jeno, who had no idea what was going on, were all on edge, giving their leader both panicked and disbelieving looks.

the heavy atmosphere could be cut with a knife as the table fell silent. everyone was looking at jimin as her brow twitched, which was your cue to stop your girlfriend from exploding. 

everyone flinched when two chairs pushed back so hard that they made an ear-damaging screech and a loud banging noise. as you stood in front of your girlfriend, staring at her and holding her wrist in a vice-like grip, the rest of the table looked at you, wide-eyed. you were so quick, in fact, that you predicted your girlfriend would jump out of her seat.

"jimin."

mentioned woman shifted her gaze away from mark and into your eyes, not liking the intensity swirling in your orbs. she frowned and drew you out of the restaurant, giving the smiling canadian one last look.

"what was that?" jimin asked, voice stern, as she abruptly turned around to face you once you were both out in the cold winter air that greeted you a little too eagerly, snow falling around you, and you almost bumped into your girlfriend's chest.

with her wrist still in your hand, you returned jimin's glare. "i should be asking you that, jimin."

jimin scoffed at the name, ignoring the sound of her heart shattering. "i was just stopping him from flirting with you, is that so wrong?"

"i could've handled that!" you responded and out of frustration, threw her wrist away, causing jimin to frown. "and he was clearly joking!"

"oh, so you're gonna let him flirt jokingly with you, is that it, huh?" jimin glared in disbelief.

you laughed, but it was emotionless and jimin could tell. "jeno was flirting the whole time and even a blind person could see he's serious, but you still let him."

"flirting? he's my friend and i was catching up with him!" jimin argued back even though she knew her argument was useless because you were right.

"jeno's your friend, i'm your girlfriend!" you poked her chest for emphasis, causing her to step back with every jab of your finger. "you ignored me the entire night to catch up with him, karina!"

jimin's face fell as her stage name slipped easily off your tongue. if her real name was painful enough, how much more so if you mentioned her stage name? jimin glared at you, tears welling up in her eyes, and watched you cry right in front of her.

"and you made me jealous in retaliation, y/n!"

"because you wouldn't look at me! you didn't even introduce me as your girlfriend, karina! your members had to do it themselves! is ningning my girlfriend? or giselle?" you emphasized, causing jimin to return her gaze to you at the mention of your japanese best friend's name.

jimin's brow twitched. "they knew! i mentioned that i'm bringing my girlfriend tonight!"

"and yet jeno still flirted with you!" you huffed indignantly. "you didn't even stop him, not even once!"

"this is ridiculous." jimin groaned in frustration, dragging her hand down her face to avoid looking at your angry face.

you gasped, offended. 

"ridiculous?! you dropped my fucking hand, karina!" you pushed on her chest, and she let you, biting her lower lip to keep from crying and staring at you silently. "to catch up with friends apparently named jeno!"

you knew it was wrong to argue like this in public, but your emotions took precedence over logic. your chest felt heavy and your mind was racing from all that had happened tonight, so you needed to get rid of the frustrations as soon as possible, which unfortunately had to be the case.

"of course i would catch up! i haven't seen them in months!" jimin, still not backing down, yelled back.

jimin didn't have an excuse for dropping your hand, which she knew was a stupid move on her part despite the fact that all she wanted to do all night was hold your hand for her own comfort and to show everyone you were hers. she realized it was stupid as soon as she lifted her hand to drop yours, but she couldn't do anything because your hand fell and was soon found in someone else's lap.

"oh, i'm sure they're enthralled by you, karina!" you said, your voice sarcastic. you wiped your tears away, only to have more fall down your cheeks. "trust me. trust me. jeno did say he'd date you. brushing your hair, smiling so wide like a lovesick puppy, of course!"

jimin clenched her jaw, not wanting to be reminded by that question and the two responses that came after it. "and mark said he'd date you."

"we're still not done with this?" you laughed in disbelief. "you couldn't tell it was a joke?"

she nodded stubbornly. "yeah, okay. he's joking, fine. and what about giselle, huh? you were clinging to her the entire night!"

"i wouldn't have done it if you had paid attention to me! if only you would pay attention to me, not just jeno." you screamed, your throat becoming scratchy from how loud you were.

jimin tried to speak, but her words died in her throat as your shoulders sagged. as you sobbed quietly into your palms, the idol's lips trembled, and her pride finally yielded. jimin moved closer to take you into her arms, not moving even when you gave her weak punches to her shoulders in an attempt to push her away.

jimin winced in pain, but pressed small kisses to your temple. "i'm sorry."

it didn't take long before you stopped struggling in her embrace and jimin wrapped her arms around your waist, hiding her face in your shoulder. you sniffled against her hair, still slapping her, but not as hard because you were tired of all the stupid fighting.

"i don't know these people, karina! yet they are the ones who made me feel comfortable tonight!"

"i know and i'm so sorry. i'm sorry i dropped your hand. i'm sorry i let jeno flirt with me. i'm sorry i didn't pay attention to you. i'm so, so sorry, y/n, baby, please forgive me."

jimin sniffled against your shoulder, unable to hold back her tears due to how your tired shouting sounded right next to her ears, and quickly soaked the fabric of your shirt with her tears.

"i just want your attention, rina." you whimpered.

jimin nodded weakly. "i'm sorry, baby. i'm so, so sorry."

you wrapped your arms around her shoulders, and jimin drew you in even closer, needing your comfort and providing it for you.

"i don't want to lose you. i'm sorry, please don't date jeno. i'm sorry for making you jealous. please." 

jimin rubbed your back as you sobbed against her, pulling back to look into your tear-stained face.

"you won't lose me. i promise i won't leave you. i swore and i'm telling you this again. i will never, ever leave you." jimin whispered, wiping your tears away.

you sniffled quietly as you gripped her top in your hand, finally finding her familiar comfort. "promise?"

jimin pressed her lips against yours, closing the gap. you responded quickly and felt her tears against your cheeks, prompting you to place one hand on her face and gently caress her cheek with your thumb. you chased the comfort and attention that you both failed to give to each other tonight due to petty actions and stupid behaviors, melting against each other in the snowy night.

you pulled away and jimin pursued you, but she stopped when she saw you breathing heavily and settled on resting her forehead on yours, breaths intermingling between you.

"i promise. let me make it up to you?"

mark turned to face the person who couldn't keep herself quiet after hearing a sigh next to him. the canadian blinked as he watched aeri turn her head away from the windows. curious, he peered out and saw jimin kissing your hand as she led you away.

"it's her, isn't it?"

aeri flinched, glancing at mark, who didn't miss the tears in her eyes, which she desperately tried to hide by blinking back.

"who?" aeri queried, her brow furrowed in confusion as she avoided mark's scrutinizing gaze.

"y/n." the canadian simply responded.

aeri chuckled, the bitterness not escaping mark's ears. "the one you want to date?"

mark scoffed, shaking his head. "the one you like."

at mark's statement, the japanese member tensed up, her heart racing wildly in her chest. mark was stating rather than asking. aeri chuckled nervously and opened her mouth to deny it, looking around to make sure no one was listening and was relieved to see them looking at you and jimin instead, but her excuses quickly died in her throat when mark gave her a stern look.

"yeah."

aeri wasn't supposed to be happy that you turned to her right away to make your girlfriend, jimin, jealous. her heart wasn't supposed to do stupid backflips all over when your skin brushed against hers mindlessly. she wasn't supposed to feel shivers down her spine whenever you spoke gently to her. she wasn't supposed to be so concerned with whether you noticed her clammy hand in your grip. she wasn't supposed to smile so brightly and happily whenever you complimented or thanked her.

uchinaga aeri wasn't supposed to feel this way.

yet, guiltily, she was.

"i like her."

uchinaga aeri likes y/n l/n, her best friend and yu jimin's girlfriend.

"i'm sorry, but i like her so much."

"bam, bam, bam."

"like this?"

"no, no. like this."

the members watched you teach the specific part of the dance that eunchae couldn't seem to grasp. the maknae had been struggling for a while, and when you noticed her stumbling and pausing in the mirror, you decided to give her a bit of time, but eventually stepped in because the poor girl was on the verge of crying.

you could tell because a pout was forming on her lips.

so there you were, demonstrating the dance to eunchae, and she was staring at you intently, her gaze shifting from your figure standing right next to her to the mirror. she tried to imitate it, but she stumbled, causing her to cling to your arm, whining in embarrassment.

"unnie~"

however, as the ever-patient unnie that you are, you smiled reassuringly and affectionately patted her head. eunchae leaned against your shoulders and stomped her foot childishly. the members cooed, yunjin grabbing her phone from the floor to record the cute moment before it ended.

"i know, it's okay. here." you picked up your water bottle and handed it to the maknae, who was quick to down it.

you tapped her chin when she pouted at you, and she immediately paid attention. when you signaled, the choreographer played the song and you danced slowly to it, eyes locked with eunchae.

"you have to watch your footing here." you spoke louder so the girls could hear you over the music, and they were in the back so you could properly teach eunchae, offering support every now and then.

"let me try again." eunchae said, her face and voice determined, causing everyone to scream excitedly.

"hong eunchae!"

"you've got this!"

"eunchae! eunchae!"

"slay, baby gorl!"

"if you nail it, i'll treat you to dinner."

eunchae had never whipped her head so fast. hearing your sacred vow, she gave you a wide-eyed stare. she would never turn down free food. 

furthermore, it was you. 

you were extremely generous.

you smiled at her eyes blazing at the mention of free food and you took the empty bottle from the maknae. the choreographer played the song at normal speed again and you danced calmly while watching eunchae finally nail the dance through the mirror.

the maknae exchanged a shocked look with you, her steps faltering, and you simply smiled proudly. "you did it, eunchae-ah."

more applause erupted in the room and quick footsteps approached you two, grabbing the maknae in a bear hug.

"we're so proud of you." chaewon held eunchae's face in her hands, proudly looking at her, while yunjin excitedly shook the maknae. sakura was beaming, her hands running up and down eunchae's back, and kazuha was complimenting her.

"you did so well." kazuha said, causing yunjin to nod in agreement. "you did it better than me."

eunchae giggled, loving the attention. "ask y/n unnie to teach you!"

that's how eunchae directed the attention to you. you were simply standing by the side, admiring their interactions, when yunjin dashed over, followed by the others.

"teach me as well, y/n/n!"

you watched yunjin cling to you, childishly pouting. you were cringing at your fellow '01 liner, which was visible on your face, but deep down you thought the american was cute.

you couldn't say anything because kazuha was in front of you. "me, too."

you let out a sigh. "come on, guys. you weren't even having any trouble earlier."

sakura then spoke up, approaching with the leader on her tail. "i think i'm having a problem with the ending."

chaewon nodded in acknowledgement. "i find the opening quite hard."

eunchae cackled as she saw the chaos she had caused. you gave the young girl a not-so-scary glare from across the room. well, you couldn't really give her that look if she was acting so cute.

eunchae simply stuck her tongue out, teasing you even more. "my free food, unnie!"

"whatever, manchae."

before you knew it, the day had come to an end and the girls had to return to their dorm. you were staying back for a while, and they wanted to join you, but you shook your head because you knew if they stayed, you wouldn't be able to get anything done.

"but unnie~" eunchae whined. "you promised free food!"

"i did, but i didn't say that it was tonight." you teased, causing the maknae to tug repeatedly on your arm.

"come on now, y/n/n. you can come in early tomorrow, it's late." yunjin pouted at you. 

the american knew you were weak when it comes to their cute faces and actions, making you avert your eyes. however, you regretted it because kazuha was giving you puppy eyes from next to sakura.

you groaned. "i'll be home in an hour or two, guys."

"too long." eunchae grumbled, attention now on the sleeve of your jacket.

chaewon finally stepped in, fortunately for you and unfortunately for the girls. "come on, children. she'll be home before you know it."

even though the short-haired girl wanted to disagree, she couldn't. besides, she trusted you enough to come home right away and she really just couldn't say no to you; she wouldn't admit it, but she knew that.

even the girls knew. but they couldn't tease her because angry chaewon is a force to be reckoned with.

the maknaes and yunjin sighed at the leader's approval. they took their time giving you big hugs and they actually wouldn't have pulled away if sakura hadn't intervened. the eldest drew you in for a hug, gently squeezing you.

"keep in touch, okay? be quick."

you nodded. chaewon gave you one last look, which made you shiver but also smile and wave. the two oldest pushed the other three out of the room, their whines audible even after the door was closed.

"they're so clingy." the choreographer remarked, amused.

you laughed. "very, unnie. now what was my part again?"

with that, you and the choreographer worked on the dance, with her teaching you and you picking it up quickly, which she praised. although, admittedly, it was hard. it was a little complicated and it was different from what the other girls had learned for their solo parts.

the night went on until it was time to go home, but you stayed a little longer. you bowed as the choreographer said goodbye, your fingers busy typing on the phone to send a quick message to chaewon. 

you'd definitely get an earful when you got home, but it'd be toned down a little because you remembered to send her a message.

you didn't the last time... 

well.

it's probably best not to bring it up.

with the little extra time you had—

actually, chaewon did not give you permission. you looked down at your phone, which was currently blowing up with text messages.

perhaps this would be worse than the last time, you cringed at the thought.

you focused on the task at hand while shaking your head. chaewon could wait. hopefully. You watched yourself as you danced to the song with such fluidity and power, cringing whenever there was a slight mistake.

If the girls were there, they'd notice the way you scrunched your nose and cheer you on, knowing how much of a perfectionist you were. however, you were only met with the song playing in the background.

minutes passed, many scrunches of the nose were shown at the same time errors were spotted before the mind could even realize, as if the action was now out of reflex. they were minor errors, but you didn't like them.

so you danced.

polished.

danced.

and polished.

but before you knew it, you were plummeting to the ground. a loud hiss of pain echoed through the room and you quickly covered it with one hand, as if someone else would hear it over the loud music, and tears quickly blurred your vision as you hugged your leg to your chest.

you pushed yourself up, noticing the sweater you'd discarded, the one you'd dropped carelessly on the floor and the one that caused you to slip.

"who the hell drops their stuff like that?" you grumbled, tears sliding down your cheeks.

you reached for your foot, groaning from the pain wracking your entire body, particularly your foot. as you untied your shoelace, you were crying and trying to keep your hiccups to yourself, afraid someone would hear you.

"shit."

as you stared at your foot, the only thing you could mutter was the curse word. 

a sprain, you thought. 

you attempted to move it, which you were quick to regret. you inhaled a large amount of air into your lungs in response to the pain shooting through your leg. 

you cried out, no longer bothered if someone else heard you. "fuck, fuck, fuck."

you closed your eyes for a moment, trying to push the pain away. your mind was racing with panicked thoughts. how am i going to get home? how am i going to dance now? 

you glanced at your phone, which had lit up because chaewon had sent you another message, but your gaze was drawn to the date and time.

the clock had struck twelve o'clock. this means you have a schedule later today, a dance practice tomorrow, and a performance the day after tomorrow. 

this means you would have to suffer for three days at least.

of course you weren't going to tell the girls. you didn't want to add to what they already had on their plate.

however, you were still in a state of panic. you had no idea how to pull that off, pretending not to be in pain while dancing your ass off and acting fine.

when your phone rang, you snapped out of it. chaewon unnie. you reached for it and quickly shut your eyes, not because of chaewon's reprimanding voice, but because of another shot of pain from your foot.

"where are you?! it's midnight!"

you breathed shakily. "i'm on my way home, unnie."

"make it quick, y/n/n. i'm worried here."

"yeah, i know. i'll be quick."

"be careful, okay?"

"mhm."

the call ended there. chaewon pulled the phone away from her ear, her gaze fixed on the screen. she heard faint music playing in the background on the other end of the line, indicating that you were still at the building. 

what worried her was your weak voice and the shaky intake of air, both of which were audible to her ears.

is she okay? god, i hope so. 

chaewon cast a glance at eunchae, who had fallen asleep on the couch while waiting for you. the maknae refused to sleep without you, claiming she would get cuddles because you didn't give her free food tonight. they sat in the living room for thirty minutes before the girl fell asleep.

chaewon paced around the living room, keeping her footsteps light so as to not wake the sleeping maknae on the couch. her gaze would dart back and forth between the clock and the door, hoping you'd already come in, and her frown became deeper as the minutes passed.

patience running thin, chaewon snatched the nearest coat, which happened to be yours, and walked to the door, groaning. she was going to meet you halfway, wherever you were, because her heart couldn't stop pounding. she reached for the doorknob, but it turned on its own, the door swinging open in front of her.

when she saw your half-covered face, she breathed a sigh of relief. you tilted your head, perplexed as to why she seemed ready to leave, but you bit your lower lip as she pulled you inside the dorm and into her arms.

"you got me worried!" chaewon scolded, a harsh slap being delivered to your shoulder.

you forced a chuckle as you adjusted your injured foot, attempting to return her tight hug, while resisting the urge to melt into her and cry. "i'm sorry, unnie. i had to walk home."

chaewon drew back to look you in the eyes, you were thankful it was dark so she wouldn't notice your pale skin, laying a hand on your cheek. "you should've told me."

you leaned down, planting a kiss on her head to reassure her you were safe and sound now. "i'm sorry. i will next time."

chaewon quickly shook her head. "there will be no next time. you're such a hardhead."

"i guess i got it from you." you chuckled, looking around and pausing when you saw eunchae.

chaewon followed your gaze, her own eyes softening. "she waited for you. well, tried to."

guilt gnawed at you. you would have gotten home to eunchae's cheeriness and whinings if you hadn't been such a perfectionist earlier. 

you sighed and walked over to the couch, crouching down with a wince. you brushed her bangs away before tapping her cheek with your finger, to which she awoke and grabbed your wrist.

"i'm home." you whispered softly, tracing her nose.

eunchae giggled sleepily, finding the action ticklish. "welcome home."

you hummed. "come on, let's go to bed."

you went back to your room, eunchae clinging to the back of your shirt, rubbing her eyes. you kissed chaewon's head good night, causing her to smile.

you watched as eunchae climbed into your bed and promptly passed out. you chuckled and followed her lead, laying on your back and wrapping your arm around her. you elevated your injured foot and positioned it farthest away from her.

due to exhaustion combined with the pain from your injury, you passed out as well. the darkness greeted you with open arms, and as you passed out, the last thing your mind registered was eunchae cuddling closer to you.

the next day, you awoke with a throbbing pain in your foot that almost made you cry. you wiped your tears away and gently shook eunchae awake, telling her she needed to get ready for the photoshoot. 

the baby quickly complied and returned to her room after requesting one last hug from you, which you immediately provided.

you had no idea how you managed to get ready that morning. all you knew was that you needed to reduce the swelling in your foot, which was looking awful right now. 

you were on the verge of crying again, but you held it in, not wanting to alarm any of the girls, who would surely notice your puffy red eyes if you cried right now.

you managed last night. you're going to manage until you get better.

throughout the photoshoot, you relied on your members for support, particularly yunjin because she was the tallest and thus easier to lean on. yunjin enjoyed your attention, so she didn't question why you were suddenly clingy.

however, the members would complain if you stayed too long by yunjin's side, causing you to switch and yunjin to pout. 

but you were right next to her right now.

"unnie loves me today." yunjin told the camera that was filming them for behind-the-scenes footage. 

you gave her a puzzled look and clutched her arm tighter, which yunjin thought was reassurance, but you were really just in terrible pain.

"ah, what are you saying?" you asked, gaping. "i always do, jennifer."

yunjin grinned widely at the camera. "did you hear that, fearnots? she's my wife."

you kissed her on the cheek in silent agreement and trudged away, slightly struggling, while yunjin stared after you, her jaw dropping to the floor.

fuck. it hurts, the words that rang in your head so much that they became a mantra. it was difficult to walk normally, pretend you weren't in pain, and act like you were normal. you'd slip up now and then, a curse slipping off your tongue, but you'd cover it up, and your members would just nod, but still assist you cluelessly.

you made it through the day and went straight to your room when you returned to the dorm, claiming you had a few lyrics ideas. you knew the girls wouldn't dare to bother you whenever you announced that because you prefer silence and peace, much to their dismay.

"i wonder what she's writing about." sakura whispered as she plopped down next to chaewon on the couch.

chaewon sighed. "i'm not sure, but she probably won't be out until tomorrow."

"should we check on her?" kazuha queried, glancing at the stairs. eunchae bounced on her seat, ready to run upstairs if the unnie line said.

chaewon quickly shook her head. "you know she hates it when we disturb her lyric writing."

eunchae appeared to be deflated and yunjin emerged from the kitchen, the american patting her child on the head. "you'll see your mom tomorrow, manchae."

"but is it just me or y/n is clingy today?" the american commented with a smug smirk on her face.

chaewon rolled her eyes. "shut up. we get it, you got your moment." the leader grumbled, crossing her arms.

"no fair." eunchae whined.

kazuha shrugged. "at least she slept on my shoulder on our way home."

"well, i fed her earlier." sakura joined in, smiling.

"oh, right! unnie will treat me to dinner!"

"okay! okay, i get it. shut it please."

meanwhile, you elevated your injured foot on a stack of pillows and pressed the ice pack you managed to sneak into your room to your swelling foot, wincing but also relieved at the coldness seeping through your skin.

"well, that looks terrible." you grimaced.

it only got worse. it appears to be worse than last night. terrible, as you just mentioned. you considered telling the girls earlier when sakura's boot hit it, probably the reason why it looks worse, and you almost cried out in pain. however, your pride got in the way and you ended up biting your lower lip in silent agony.

sakura saw you and thought you were overreacting, which you couldn't blame her for because she had no idea you had a terrible injury down there, but the japanese still apologized and hugged you and wouldn't let you go until it was time for you to go for your solo.

"funny how i told eunchae to watch her footing. look where i am now." you sighed in disbelief and closed your eyes, relishing in the cold as it gradually reduced the throbbing pain.

you eventually fell asleep after attempting to come up with a plan for your sore foot for tomorrow's practice. would you be capable of pulling it off? no, absolutely not. you fell back onto the mattress, eyes closed, with that as your last thought.

the next day, you were deliberately avoiding the girls. you awoke with a fever and a pounding headache. your still throbbing foot wasn't doing you any favors with the constant pain it was sending up your leg.

you were deafeningly silent and pissed off during the final rehearsal for tomorrow's performance. you only speak when you are spoken to or when it is absolutely necessary. aside from that, you were quiet.

it didn't take long for the girls to notice your strange and frightening behavior today. chaewon was the first to notice and cast a wary glance at you, wondering why and how you had awoken on the wrong side of the bed today. one by one, the others became aware.

"is unnie okay?" kazuha queried, brows furrowed.

"i'm not sure, zuha. why?" chaewon returned the question, turning to the japanese ballerina, who was watching you down the water bottle. sakura and yunjin were nearby, both aware of your unpleasant mood today.

"unnie didn't look at me." kazuha said, pouting.

when you and kazuha were facing each other during the dance, you'd always meet her eye and wink at her jokingly right before her part. even after singing her part, the ballerina would always end up giggling.

"she just stared at the floor." kazuha turned to chaewon, causing the leader to pat her cheek in reassurance.

"maybe she's not feeling well, zuha." chaewon didn't know what to say and sighed.

"y/n unnie!"

you turned around to see eunchae leap from her starfish position on the floor. from across the room, she smiled at you and pointed to your bag.

"may i have your phone?"

you nodded and smiled softly, attempting not to show your exhaustion. eunchae cheered and ran to your bag, pulling out the item she was looking for, but she paused when she noticed a couple of painkillers in a small pocket. 

the maknae blinked and looked at you, seeing that you were talking to sakura and yunjin.

why is she taking painkillers? eunchae paused to think, but quickly shook the thought away and returned to her original plan of filling your phone with her selfies. if something is bothering unnie, she'll tell us, right? eunchae nodded and pushed her suspicions to the side.

you pushed through the practice, eager to finish it without any mishaps. 

when you put too much pressure on your foot, you would wince. you would occasionally adjust your position so that your weight would shift to your uninjured foot. you used your members as support while taking a break or watching the dance, which was mostly kazuha this time.

"did i do that right?" kazuha whispered to you.

you nodded firmly with a quick smile. "of course, zuha. it's your signature move, you're always the best at it."

kazuha returned the smile, pulling you closer by the hip. you were thankful at the time because you could finally lift your foot to relieve the weight on it. kazuha felt your weight on her but didn't mind and gently squeezed you.

nobody seemed to notice. when you winced, they assumed you saw a mistake, not on them but on your dance, so yunjin and chaewon would approach you after each dance to console you.

"you did well, baby~" yunjin sang, wrapping you up in a back hug. 

the american nuzzled your shoulder and kissed it lightly. you were glad you wore a hoodie because otherwise she'd feel the heat off your skin.

you laughed, though both girls noticed it was a little lighter than usual. "did i?"

"of course, y/n/n. you're perfect." chaewon said, bringing her fingers up to tickle your side.

you buried yourself in yunjin's embrace to avoid the oldest of the three of you, still watching your step.

"unnie, come on! stop it!"

it was painful to dance; you had no idea how you did it, but you did. you completed the practice and the girls were extremely helpful, despite the fact that they had no idea about your injury. 

speaking of injury, you retired to your room immediately, telling them you were tired.

"are you sure you're okay?" sakura as you passed her on your way to the stairs.

you smiled and planted a small kiss on her cheek. "of course, kkura unnie."

sakura sighed as she looked into your tired eyes, noticing your pale face. "good night, y/n/n."

"good night, unnie."

you sat on the bed, wincing as you removed your shoe with care. a quiet curse escaped your lips, and the silent tears you'd been holding back since practice began slipped down your cheeks. 

you bit your skin to stop the sob from escaping and sighed audibly in relief when your injured foot was free of the confines of the shoe.

you avoided looking at it, but you knew it looked worse, if that's possible. you did dance with it all day, and you were relieved to be dismissed early so you could rest for the long day and night ahead. you lifted your leg to place it on the pile of pillows you didn't bother removing.

only when you thought you'd find peace and relief did the pain begin to spread through you. you winced, not bothering to muffle the sob this time. you wanted to call for chaewon or sakura, but it was too late because the darkness had come to get you.

eunchae found herself padding towards your room somewhere deep into the night. the maknae needed cuddles, which you unknowingly failed to give her due to your injury. because her room was close to yours, she arrived in time and turned the knob, which was surprisingly and thankfully unlocked.

"unnie…?"

her eyes widened when she saw your unkempt bed and disheveled hair. you'd forgotten to turn off the lamp, allowing her to see how you shivered as you lay on top of the blanket, seemingly passing out on it earlier.

your face was pinched into an expression she had never seen before on your normally calm and collected face. pure agony. your face was also splattered with tears, but some were still leaking from your eyes.

but the icing on the cake was your horribly injured foot. eunchae let out a terrified gasp and dashed towards chaewon's room, screaming for her unnies.

"chaewon unnie! chaewon unnie!"

chaewon and yunjin were still awake when they heard maknae screaming, a hint of fear in her tone. they emerged from their respective rooms just in time to see eunchae sprinting, tears streaming down her precious cheeks.

"eunchae?!"

"what's the matter?"

eunchae hiccuped. "unnie… y/n/n unnie… she—"

too worried about you, yunjin dashed to your room, passing by sakura and kazuha, who had been awakened by the screaming. kazuha followed yunjin, albeit sleepily, while sakura went to check on chaewon and eunchae.

"what happened, eunchae? chaewon?"

yunjin and kazuha's footsteps were loud as they ran down the hall and into your room. when they arrived, they were taken aback by your condition.

"unnie…?"

the rest of the girls arrived and were shocked to see you like that. their hearts pounded in their ears, their heartbeats racing in fear, fear for you, not for them. it was the first time you looked horrible. for the first time, you appeared to be in excruciating pain.

they were all terrified and frozen. chaewon and yunjin, on the other hand, pushed themselves out of the shock. chaewon looked for your phone to call the manager while yunjin rushed to your bed and gently took you into her arms. kazuha was right behind her, taking your leg to support your injured foot.

"unnie, hey, wait a little bit more, okay?" yunjin whispered shakily, watching kazuha brush your hair off your face. "chaewon unnie is calling oppa."

sakura cradled the maknae in her arms, allowing the girl to cry into her shoulder while she fought back her own tears. they all waited for the manager for what seemed like an eternity, but then they heard the sound of a vehicle outside. 

yunjin carried your unconscious body downstairs, chaewon and kazuha close behind to support the two of you, while sakura led the sobbing maknae.

"what happened?!" the manager asked.

"we don't know—"

kazuha cut off the panicking yunjin, who had you situated in her lap. "it's her foot. it's injured, sprained." the ballerina said.

the two girls mentioned looked at you, and the others perked up at your weak voice. the manager began driving while still listening to you.

"hey, babe, y/n/n. you okay?" yunjin asked softly, her eyes blurred by tears. 

she didn't like how pale your face was and how weak your voice sounded, barely above a whisper. you were always calm while also cheerful. you were always able to match their energies, especially eunchae's.

but you looked exhausted now.

weak.

"mhm."

kazuha sniffled. "we're almost there, unnie, you'll be fine."

those were the words you used to say to kazuha whenever she was in doubt. she had hoped to say the same words to you, but not in this manner.

you muttered a small 'okay' before closing your eyes and weakly clutching yunjin's hoodie. eunchae was still in sakura's arms, but she was no longer crying, despite the occasional sniffle. chaewon was sitting in the row next to you, yunjin, and kazuha. she kept her gaze fixed on you, frowning alongside you as a small groan escaped your throat.

you kept slipping in and out of sleep, your body screaming at you to sleep every time you tried to open your eyes to catch a glimpse of yunjin and kazuha's faces because they were right above you.

when you finally arrived at the hospital, you couldn't hear the commotion, but you felt yunjin running with you in her arms. you managed to open your eyes again, and the first and last thing you saw was yunjin's worried face before your mind forced you back to sleep.

you took your time resting, but when you opened your eyes, you were greeted by a bright light and a white ceiling. you groaned, your voice scratchy, and tried to get up when you felt something on your leg, it was elevated, and you looked around to see a hospital room setting.

you looked up as the door opened and a nurse entered, gently smiling at you. "you're awake, ms. l/n."

"what happened?" you inquired, and she handed you a water bottle, which you promptly drank.

"you were asleep for the entire day, ms. l/n. it's actually about to end." the nurse said, glancing at the wall clock and seeing the hand approaching twelve.

then you realized what she meant.

"the performance..." you mumbled. "i missed the performance."

"i'm sorry." she apologized with a sad smile. she knew you loved performing and was a perfectionist, too.

you couldn't say anything else to her because the door swung open, and a small smile appeared on your lips when you saw who was in charge.

"manchae."

"unnie!"

as she wrapped her arms around your shoulder, the maknae almost jumped on the bed with you. you grumbled at the force, but you squeezed her anyway.

you raised your head to see the nurse leave before catching chaewon's gaze. you reassured her with a small smile, causing her tense shoulders to sag and run to you.

"you're okay."

you made a humming sound. "well, unnie, i did sleep for the entire day." you joked.

"y/n/n?"

when yunjin entered the room, chaewon and eunchae quickly moved away, not wanting to be involved in her bone crushing hug, but eunchae stayed right next to you, playing with the hospital gown draped on you.

you coughed lightly as you tried to return yunjin's very tight hug.

"you scared us."

you sighed, your conscience gnawing at you. "i know, jen. i'm so sorry."

everyone, including sakura and kazuha, who had just entered, heard your apology. they joined you, kazuha replacing yunjin lightly and sakura caressing the back of your head.

"what happened?" sakura asked quietly.

when you shot chaewon a brief glance, everything fell into place. her eyes hardened as she glared at you and you avoided it, the leader scaring you once again.

"i got hurt when i stayed back to practice. i slipped on my sweater and then i hid it from you."

"why?" eunchae murmured.

you turned to look at her and your eyes softened as you met her wide glossy eyes. "come here, sweetheart."

you gently guided eunchae into your lap, wanting to comfort your unofficial child. "i didn't want to burden you." you admitted softly.

"you're an idiot." 

yunjin immediately locked eyes with chaewon at that and they were stuck in a staredown. 

"unnie." the american warned, her protective nature over you surfacing.

"yunjin-ah." you butted in before they could start arguing, causing the american to back down. "let unnie speak."

"i called you, y/n/n. you should've told me. us." chaewon began, her eyes welling up with tears. 

"do you realize how scary it was to see you there like that? your condition scared all of us."

"did you know it was eunchae who saw you like that?" your gaze flitted to eunchae, who simply sniffled in response. you squeezed her before turning your attention back to chaewon.

"you should've told us. fuck the performances! we just want you to be okay."

the only thing filling the air of silence between the group after chaewon's rant was the calm beeping of the monitor that kept track of your heartbeat. you watched chaewon pant heavily and gulp, and kazuha came up behind her to pat her lower back.

you could tell her rant had a deeper meaning. i feel like i let you down as your leader. you understood chaewon's mind just as she understood yours. she knew how you've always despised the appearance of a mistake on you, so you've worked hard to be flawless.

you motioned for sakura to take eunchae, and you grabbed chaewon's wrist to pull her into you. as she buried her face in your hospital gown, you hugged her tightly.

"i'm sorry, unnie. i'm sorry for being such an idiot."

chaewon couldn't help but laugh tearfully at your joking tone and emphasis. "mhm."

"how was the performance?" you asked, causing chaewon to pull away and give you a reprimanding look, but you shook your head. "i just want to know how it went, unnie. who covered my parts?"

"me!" eunchae's hand shot up in the air with a teary grin before pointing kazuha. "and zuha unnie."

you were filled with pride as you reached up to pat eunchae's head and smiled at kazuha. "oh, i'm excited to see the performance."

sakura laughed. "i'm sure you'll be proud."

in response, kazuha shook her head. "i'm not sure if i did everything correctly."

chaewon made room as you clicked your tongue and pulled the ballerina closer. you gave her a stern look and kazuha returned it, but with much softer features.

"i'm sure you two did it better than me." you said, your gaze shifting between kazuha and eunchae.

eunchae smiled and nodded, enjoying the pride in your eyes, while kazuha sighed and rested her head on your shoulder.

however, the moment was cut short when you heard another sniffle and looked up with wide eyes, meeting sakura's teary ones. you gave the maknae line a look and they moved away to let sakura hug you tightly.

"that was really scary. don't do it again." sakura said, her voice muffled against your hair, fingers brushing through it as she always did when hugging you. "just... tell us. okay?"

you nodded to her shoulder. "i promise, unnie, i swear it."

you let sakura have you all to herself as your gaze moved to yunjin and eunchae, who were both looking at your sprained foot. you successfully drew their attention with your amused chuckle.

"wanna touch it?"

chaewon quickly shook her head. "no, yunjin, eunchae, please don't."

her pleadings were ignored as the two nodded, albeit hesitantly, and you gestured to your foot. chaewon sighed and watched as eunchae poked your foot, noting your small wince. 

sakura felt the sudden jump of your shoulders as well and she played with the baby hairs on the back of your nape to comfort you because she knew the two crackheads couldn't be stopped.

yunjin poked at it as well and grimaced in disgust, causing you to laugh. you threw your head back, bumping heads with sakura.

"ew. what the hell."

you reassured and joked with the girls all night, well, it was actually past midnight. you were well aware that you had frightened them. you knew it was their first time seeing you in such pain. you were aware of their concerns and fears. 

so you promised not to let it happen again and to let them know if anything was wrong with you.

it didn't take long for the girls to nod off. kazuha had dozed off on the chair, and her head was on the bed next to yours. 

eunchae had already fallen asleep after poking your foot. the maknae climbed up beside you and snuggled into your side. but before she fell asleep, she told you one last thing.

"treat me to dinner once you recover, unnie."

laughter filled the room and you patted down the maknae's hair. "i promised, eunchae-ah. have i broken a promise?"

with that, eunchae fell asleep.

later on, yunjin had taken the other side of the bed, burying her face in your arm and wrapping her arm around your waist, her hand barely touching eunchae's skin.

"you scared me." the american mumbled, taking the opportunity to talk to you as chaewon and sakura left for a bit to talk to the manager.

you hummed. "sorry, jen."

"i love you." she mumbled and she smiled as she heard you whisper the sweet words back to her before falling asleep.

chaewon and sakura returned, cooing over the cuddle pile on the small hospital bed. they approached you and sakura placed a hand on your brow, scrunching her nose at your fever.

"go to sleep." sakura whispered to you, noticing your eyes fluttering slowly. 

you complied and felt a small kiss on your forehead and another pair of lips planting another kiss on your cheek.

chaewon and sakura watched the mess in front of them, the former crossing her arms and sakura smiling gently.

"what a mess." chaewon exclaimed, shaking her head in disbelief.

sakura laughed. "let's share the couch. come on."

while watching the pile on the bed sleep, they both listened to the monitor. chaewon looked at you with such tenderness in her eyes that sakura noticed and nudged the leader.

"huh? what is it?"

shocked, chaewon turned to the older japanese, her cheeks flushing slightly at the teasing look sakura was giving her. chaewon whined softly in complaint and looked away, attempting to hide her blush.

"i see that, chaewon-ah~"

"stop, kkura unnie."

sakura chuckled, but did as told. "she's so stubborn."

chaewon nodded, taking another look at you and noticing your head leaning towards yunjin's direction. you had your arms around the american and maknae, and she was certain your arms would be sore when you awoke.

"very much so. i love her for it."

sakura threw her a sideward glance. "even if she gives you a headache?"

chaewon laughed.

"even if she gives me a migraine."

"we all do."

your visuals in the kpop industry were no joke. everyone was aware of how stunning you were up close, and the pictures online and videos on television could not do you justice.

this sparked a massive uproar among netizens, particularly idols. many idols openly admitted they thought you were attractive and even expressed their admiration for you. while others remained silent, netizens still noticed how they stared at you at music shows.

of course, the girls heard about it. when they first met you, they all agreed you were stunning. the elegance you exuded and the bright, albeit slightly shy, smile you wore had them swooning.

they thought it was amusing to see the boys almost trip over their own feet while exchanging bows as they passed by you. at the time, sakura was seen smirking into her fist and the girls side eyeing the guy was caught on camera, and the video went viral.

you, on the other hand, were unaware. the girls didn't really tell you and you weren't very active on social media either, preferring to avoid it due to the possibility of encountering negative comments. you preferred to have your peace of mind, especially given the nature of your work.

it was amusing at first because you had no idea what was going on and all these men are trying to be lowkey despite their desire for your attention. however, it was beginning to grate on the girls' nerves because they were becoming too obvious.

this all happened at an award ceremony.

you were backstage trying to fix your earrings while ignoring the chaos around you. the staff were running around helping the girls with whatever problems they were having and some of them were holding cameras to film the behind-the-scenes.

"and here we have y/n unnie." you smiled at chaewon through the mirror, winking at the camera because your hands were too busy trying to lock the earrings. "i gave her that."

chaewon seemed pleased with herself; you weren't finished yet, but she thought it looked good on you as it accentuated your features because your hair was tied back, and you only smiled in agreement.

"chaewon-ie did a good job choosing this pair." you commented before huffing in frustration. you turned to face the short-haired girl, handing her the other earring you couldn't seem to lock. "help me?"

chaewon complied and handed the camera to a staff member, who accepted it and pointed it at you two to continue filming. chaewon stood in between your legs, taking your chin to tilt your head to the side, as you leaned against the vanity mirror to match her height. the leader remained silent as she struggled, but the click made you both sigh in relief.

you grinned at her and wrapped your arms around her waist. "thank you~"

chaewon wrapped her arms around your shoulders as you both stood there watching the other members get ready. eunchae, after finishing her hair and makeup, found herself in the middle of you two.

"i'm nervous." eunchae admitted quietly.

you exchanged a glance with chaewon and were quick to dispel the maknae's doubts, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. chaewon merely watched, knowing you had it under control.

"it'll be okay. you'll do well, okay?" you whispered.

"what if i make a mistake?" eunchae murmured and you could hear the fear in her tone.

you chuckled. "you won't. if you really did, that's fine. you know i'll fight off everyone for you, don't you? don't think about it too much and just have fun."

you poked her sides, making her squirm and laugh. "if things go wrong, i've got your back, okay?" you whispered and squeezed her gently.

you looked at chaewon and pointed to the other girls, catching sakura's soft gaze as she watched you three. "we have your back."

eunchae sighed, not because she was frustrated or worried, but because she was confident. as eunchae melted against your embrace, chaewon pinched the precious maknae's cheeks.

you started messing around with eunchae so that she would relax and chaewon joined in. the staff watching cooed and took a video because seeing the leader and eldest dote on the maknae was too cute to pass up.

because the other half of the room was occupied by you three, the other half near the door was the only one who heard the knock. sakura opened the door, their manager standing nearby, and was surprised to see juyeon from the boyz standing at their door.

despite her confusion, sakura returned the boy's 90 degree bow. "yes? what can i help you with?"

juyeon blushed, embarrassment creeping up on him. "is… is y/n-ssi here?"

sakura's face turned sour as she realized where this was going, and she turned around, jumping, when she saw kazuha standing right behind her. yunjin, the only one still at hair and makeup but close enough to hear the question despite the loud laughter on the other side of the room, was staring intently at the door.

sakura returned her gaze to juyeon, smiling apologetically at the boy. "she's kinda busy right now."

that wasn't technically a lie because you were really busy making the maknae smile, but it wasn't entirely accurate either. juyeon shook his head, relieved that he wouldn't have to embarrass himself in front of you and disappointed that he didn't get to see you right away.

"can you please hand this to her?" 

juyeon handed her the bouquet of flowers, which she accepted and handed to their manager. before running away, the boy bowed and thanked her. sakura shut the door and exchanged glances with yunjin and kazuha, their manager walking away to put the bouquet somewhere else.

"who was that?" yunjin asked.

sakura shrugged. "juyeon from the boyz."

"he likes unnie, too?" kazuha queried, glancing at your crouching form. they watched chaewon help eunchae onto your back and unconsciously smiled when you grinned at the maknae's excited giggle as you stood.

"everyone does." yunjin answered, thanking the makeup artist as she was finally let out of her seat.

sakura let out a sigh. "expect a lot of her admirers to approach her tonight."

yunjin groaned, complaining that they should leave you alone, while kazuha made a mental note to be more observant later. to the relief of the staff, you finally summoned them and they rushed to join you.

you were dressed differently than them because you were going to perform with an idol as the show's opening number later on. because you wanted to surprise them, you didn't tell them who it was. when yunjin was close enough, her hand fell to rest on your bare waist as she stood behind you.

"y/n unnie looks so pretty." she mouthed the english compliment to the camera, smiling when you leaned against her as you conversed with your japanese members.

time flew by and the girls were soon called to take their seats at their assigned table. you were going to be alone because the performance would begin after everyone had taken their seats and the girls didn't want to leave you on your own.

"i'll join you in a bit, girls." you laughed as you were engulfed in a hug by kazuha and eunchae.

you looked at chaewon as they whined in response. despite the fact that she did not want to leave you, chaewon stepped in to help you.

"come on now. you want to see y/n unnie perform, right?"

that prompted the maknaes to pull away, but it took them a long time. when they did, you pinched eunchae's cheek and rested your other palm on kazuha's palm.

"i'll join you in a bit, yeah?"

the girls nodded and you smiled as they wished you good luck.

the girls soon found themselves sitting on a table near the stairs leading up to the stage. it hadn't even begun yet, but loud screams could already be heard throughout the area. the girls tried to interact with the fans by waving at them and they were met with squeals and the blur sound of their names being yelled.

then screams erupted again as it was announced that the show would begin in a few minutes and the lights on stage were turned off. the girls scanned the stage quickly and eunchae pointed to your silhouette as you approached the center, followed by another idol. 

they could tell he was a guy by his build.

the area was quickly filled with music and the spotlight was on you. the girls couldn't hear the noise of the crowd, only the music you were sexily dancing to. your dancing skill were impressive, but your expressions, smirk, wink, lip bite, and everything else left the girls speechless.

they couldn't take their eyes off you because every move you made hypnotized them. you cast a quick glance down at your girls and were concerned to see their mouths open, fearing they'd catch a fly. but you didn't let that stop you, instead sending them a wink that made them smile. 

while the others were amazed by you, eunchae was clapping excitedly.

however, they weren't the only ones who were sent into spirality and succumbed to your hypnotic gaze, but they'd have to deal with that later.

"holy shit." yunjin murmured.

"holy shit indeed." chaewon replied.

"wow." kazuha was too speechless to say anything else.

"so that's why she kept it a secret." sakura commented, smiling proudly.

"wah~ unnie is so amazing!" eunchae grinned, eyes following you as you approached the waiting silhouette behind you.

when they realized who it was, their smiles faded.

choi yeonjun.

he was the first to admit that he thinks you're really pretty while also admitting that you're his crush.

as part of the dance, yeonjun placed his hands on your hip. they didn't even try to hide their sour faces and they knew they'd go viral, but they didn't care.

chaewon leaned back in her seat, arms crossed. sakura tried to keep her gaze on you, but whenever yeonjun touched you, her gaze would shift to his hand. yunjin was staring at you and kazuha's brow twitched every now and then as his face got too close to yours. finally, eunchae was simply enjoying your performance, happy to see her mother figure in the group dancing on stage.

after the performance, you blew a kiss to the camera, causing more squeals, before looking down at the girls. when you looked them in the eyes, they lit up, and you winked just as the lights went out.

as you changed, the girls waited for you. they tried to pay attention to the speaker and whoever was performing, but they wanted to see you. they stood up to give you an excited wave when you finally appeared at the side of the stage. you chuckled and waved back, but your focus was diverted when yeonjun turned to face you as you approached the stairs.

surprisingly, kazuha had predicted his next move and almost ran up to where you were, followed by yunjin, who was surprised that kazuha had realized as well. you were surprised to see the american and japanese ballerina extending their hands to you, but you accepted and let them help you down.

"so? how was that?" you asked your members, who gave you big hugs.

the girls immediately showered you with compliments, saying how sexy you were and how great you did on stage. they obviously left out the part where yeonjun did well because he had touched you too many times, which they thought was unfortunate. yunjin wrapped her arm around your shoulders while kazuha wrapped hers around your waist.

the night went on and you sat between chaewon and eunchae. the maknae leaned against you for comfort as the leader placed her hand on your knee.

"i'm hungry." you whined softly to chaewon, who giggled at you.

"didn't we eat earlier?" she whispered back.

you pouted. "not enough."

sakura, yunjin, and kazuha all looked over at you, smiling at your adorable pout. yunjin reached over to pinch your cheeks while lightly laughing.

"no, really. me, too." eunchae said, backing you up, causing you to give her a high five.

sakura chuckled. eunchae was exactly like you, albeit a cuter version of yourself because you were the eldest and thus more mature. you can, however, be as cute as eunchae when you want to be.

sakura looked around at some point during the conversation about food, but then noticed san from ateez staring at you with a small smile on his lips. 

must be because of your pout, sakura thought. 

so she subtly adjusted her seat to block his view of you, a satisfied smile on her lips. yunjin looked at her, covering her lips as she laughed at sakura's actions.

but yunjin knew she'd do the same thing.

your group was then announced as the winner of an award. you were taken aback because you had been preoccupied with food the entire time. sakura noticed and laughed, drawing your attention to her. you pouted at her before turning your gaze to the steps and holding eunchae's hand. the other members were standing behind you two, hands outstretched, ready to assist you.

chaewon was the first to speak into the microphone and you stood next to her, holding the award. chaewon's gaze would occasionally return to you and you'd both share a soft smile.

yunjin spoke next, the speech now in english, and you stared in awe. being the touchy person she is, she placed her hand on your arm, pulling you closer so that you could showcase the award. 

kazuha was the last to go. as she stood in front of the microphone, she cast a glance at you. you knew she was nervous, so you wrapped an arm around her waist. kazuha was able to get through it thanks to your comfort and support.

however, just as kazuha finished speaking, the camera panned towards you before a certain male idol was shown on the large screen, caught as he stared in a daze while murmuring the word 'pretty.'

loud screams ensued and he hid his face behind his hands, receiving teasing smacks from his members. you looked at the screen, perplexed, and saw haechan from nct dream. you shrugged, not knowing what had happened and not wanting to know, and led the girls backstage.

the girls, on the other hand, were aware of what was going on. they threw a glance at nct dream's table, not caring if they were their seniors, but they did try to hide it. you called them over and they quickly followed you as you went to prepare for your performance.

during the performance, you would shoot the maknae a funny look whenever you had the chance and eunchae would just smile, breaking character. well, technically, she wasn't because she was always smiling. 

after that, you nearly collapsed on the chair as the adrenaline left your body and was replaced by mild exhaustion. kazuha sat next to you, her head on your shoulders, watching the others settle into their seats around the room.

"i did well, right?" kazuha murmured, referring to her solo part at the end of the performance.

you hummed and reached up to pat her cheek. "you did so well, my zuha."

with that, kazuha closed her eyes for a brief moment. you brought up the subject of food again with the staff and eunchae was quick to back you up. yunjin joined in this time, but the rest of the girls mostly just watched you talk about how hungry you were (listened, in kazuha's case).

you cheered loudly when they said okay, which was a quick response from them, not even a beat later, which surprised kazuha. "oop. sorry, zuha."

you caressed her face, mumbling apologies and searching for any hurt area on her skin. there were none, but because kazuha liked the way you doted on her, she let you do your thing.

"wait. we'd have to leave eunchae now, right?" chaewon's question had you pulling away from kazuha, eyes wide in disbelief.

you were disappointed when the managers nodded and pointed to the clock. "fuck curfew." you muttered in english.

yunjin, who was walking by, burst out laughing. they looked at her, puzzled, but she only pointed at you, laughing again when you smiled at her. kazuha heard you as well because she was sitting next to you, but she said nothing and just chuckled.

then you rose to embrace the pouting maknae. "i promise we'll be back."

eunchae gave a nod. "be quick?"

you smiled. "if i could, baby gorl, i would. please wait here, okay?"

eunchae gave you another nod, and the girls waved her goodbye. you were the last to leave, but not before waving to the grinning maknae.

the night progressed and the group was called on stage for another award shortly after you returned from backstage. this time, it was just you to give a speech, and while you were doing so, the girls scanned the crowd of idols. 

they noticed that there were far too many of them smiling. it was small because they were trying to conceal it, but it was still a smile. yunjin moved in closer, wrapping an arm around your waist. you only gave her a passing glance before continuing your speech.

then you called out to eunchae, prompting the girls to do the same. "hong eunchae! we love you, baby. please wait a moment."

eunchae was smiling backstage, already missing her unnies. "i love you, too." she murmured the sentiment in english, causing the staff around her to coo.

and the awards ceremony was soon finally over. 

the sigh that left your mouth caused chaewon to laugh at you. "what? i'm just glad it's finally over." you whispered in her ear.

"idiot. come on."

you were on stage with your members and the other groups who came. as you walked with them, you wrapped your arms around sakura, keeping her close to you because you didn't want her to be swallowed up by the crowd.

"i want to eat japanese food." you told her.

"me, too. do you want me to cook tomorrow?" sakura asked.

you hummed, finding delight at the idea. "sure, kkura, but let me help."

the japanese chuckled. "i'm sure even if i told you otherwise, you'd still help."

you looked down at her and raised your brows in amusement. "not that you'd say no to me either."

sakura didn't respond, but the smile on her face said it all: she can't say no to your adorable face.

you both paused, however, when someone tripped in front of you. you widened your eyes and extended one hand to assist whoever it was. the guy accepted it and you recognized him as jay from enhypen, one of your labelmates.

he blushed when your eyes met because, goddamn, he'd seen you up close before and you never cease to amaze him with your beauty and kindness.

the girls kept an eye on him while bowing back to his members, who were on the verge of laughing and were also deeply embarrassed by his actions. you patted his shoulders and smiled goodbye before walking away, the girls trailing you like lost puppies.

and that concludes the evening's events.

or so the girls thought.

when you saw eunchae waiting for you outside, you pick up your pace. "manchae!" you called out affectionately.

the girls slowed down to allow you to spend time with the girl you claimed as your child and they ran over when you waved them over. you and eunchae were squished in the group hug and you laughed before calling for timeout.

"air, babes. we need air." you stated, causing them to pull away.

"sorry." they said in unison, chaewon fixing your hair and yunjin doing the same for eunchae.

"we missed you." sakura told the maknae, who beamed. "me, too."

"we're eating out, right?" you asked.

yunjin nodded. "yeah."

"where?" chaewon asked, causing yunjin to light up and point at you.

when you raised your brow at her unintentional suggestive action, yunjin quickly retracted her finger, explaining what she meant. "unnie, we discovered this restaurant last week!"

your mouth formed the letter 'o'. "that's right! we should give it a shot." you told the girls.

when you went to explain where it was, a voice from behind you interrupted you. "uhm, excuse me?"

when you turned around, hyunjin from stray kids greeted you with a bow, which you promptly returned because he was your senior. behind you, the girls stood guard, with kazuha reaching out to clutch the back of your outfit.

you gave a warm smile. "yes?"

hyunjin blushed at your attention and threw a sideward glance towards where the rest of his members stood, cheering him on. you were confused as to what was going on, but you waited for the boy to speak. he looked back at you and cleared his throat before handing you an envelope.

you accepted it and smiled. "what's this for?"

"i, uhm, like you and i was hoping to... maybe get your number?" the boy sounded hesitant, but he decided to shoot his shot.

he was attractive, and you were aware of his talent, but dating was not on your mind at the time. you opened your mouth to reject him as gently as you could, but chaewon cut you off.

"we're sorry, but we can't give out our phone numbers."

"ah, it's okay. i'm just happy i could tell you, y/n-ssi." hyunjin's face showed his disappointment, but he still smiled at her and you. 

meanwhile, your face dropped at your leader's interruption and you were side-eyeing chaewon, who quickly avoided your gaze. everyone got chills and did the same thing as chaewon, suddenly finding their shoes, hands, or the wall in front of them more interesting.

they recognized that look and knew that hell would await them once they entered that room.

although chaewon was the leader, you were the eldest. being the eldest and most mature, you took pride in it. when she interrupted, it stung your pride.

you smiled at hyunjin and decided to play along for the time being. "of course. sorry and thank you, i appreciate it."

you exchanged bows and watched the downcast guy walk back to his members, who comforted him with a pat on the back. you entered the room without looking anyone in the eyes. before following you, the girls gulped and exchanged nervous glances.

the staff knew they couldn't get involved, so they sat it out.

"what was that?"

the girls saw you taking off your accessories in front of the mirror. your face was emotionless, which scared eunchae because it reminded her of the time you got mad and she decided she didn't want to see you mad again.

"care to explain?" you threw them a brief glance, mostly at chaewon, and they were shaken up again by the intense look in your eyes.

the leader took a deep breath. "we just... didn't want you to give him your phone number."

"and you thought interrupting me was a good idea?" you asked, and chaewon went to speak, but you turned around to face them. "didn't you trust me enough to not do that?"

while the other girls panicked, chaewon quickly shook her head. sakura decided to intervene after noticing chaewon about to cry, which you had noticed, but you needed answers first.

"when i say i didn't want other people to get your attention, i think i speak for everyone." sakura said.

as you stared at sakura, you remained silent. your brows furrowed and the gears in your head were finally turning to bring you to realization.

the girls waited with baited breaths as yunjin drew chaewon closer to her, providing the comfort their poor leader required. kazuha was also behind her, rubbing her back. 

chaewon was grateful for them, but she needed yours.

your leader looked you in the eyes and watched you sigh and close your eyes.

"so, to cut a long story short, you were jealous?"

thinking you were still mad, they nodded.

"i see." you said, opening your arms now that your questions had been answered. they were hesitant to approach you at first, but you called out to your leader. "chaewon-ah."

your sweet tone caused chaewon to run to you, knocking the air out of your lungs, but you didn't care for the time being. you stroked her back with one hand while resting the other on her head. you knew she was trying hard not to cry when you heard her sniffle quietly against your shoulder.

the thing she despised the most was you getting angry at her.

it goes the same with the others.

"i'm sorry, my love." you said quietly and chaewon nodded. "i'm sorry, unnie."

you hummed and gave an apologetic smile to eunchae. "did i scare you?"

you waved her over after the maknae nodded. chaewon stepped back to let you hug eunchae, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. yunjin approached you and kissed the side of your head as she apologized. because eunchae wouldn't let go of you, kazuha went to cling to your sleeve instead.

"you're really scary when you're angry, unnie." kazuha said, tugging on your outfit as a way to ground herself after the fright you've instilled in them all.

you smiled, humming. "i'm sorry, my zuha, everyone."

everyone took a moment to calm down, and when eunchae pulled away, you apologized by briefly hugging sakura, yunjin, and kazuha before turning to chaewon, who remained silent. she'd calmed down, but she remained silent.

"call them in? let me just talk to chae real quick." you said quietly to sakura, who nodded.

you approached chaewon and hugged her, pushing her to the corner of the room, away from their gaze. chaewon wrapped her arms around your waist and buried her face in your neck.

"are you mad at me?" you asked.

chaewon shook her head. "no, why would i?"

"i'm sorry for acting that way." you murmured in her hair.

"it's not your fault, unnie." she reassured and pulled back to look in your eyes.

you wiped the stray tears from her cheek and planted a small kiss on her brow. "i love you, okay? you and the girls. you have my undivided attention at all times and in all places, hm?"

chaewon nodded and rested her forehead against your jaw. "i love you, too."

"good. trust me, okay?"

she nodded.

"and please do not interrupt me again."

chaewon knew you were no longer mad when your tone was laced with a playful sound and added by the playful raise of your brow. she laughed and nodded, knowing they'd all remember not to interrupt you again in their lives.

when you left the corner, you immediately got changed. and when you came out wearing your favorite sweatpants and hoodie, kazuha was the first to greet you. the japanese ballerina melted in your arms and you swayed her to the song yunjin was singing.

"don't get mad again. ever."

you laughed at that, squeezing her. "i'd try not to, my zuha."

you approached yunjin, who lit up when she saw you. still singing along to the song on her phone, she grabbed you by the hips and pulled you into her lap.

"hey, love~ you're not mad at us anymore, right?" yunjin asked. 

she sounded playful, but when she switched to english, you knew she was serious and just trying to clear the air between you two. you nodded and stroked her cheek with one finger.

"yes, jen. don't worry."

you leaned against the american for a moment, opening your arms for sakura. she plopped down on you without hesitation, ignoring yunjin's groan. the force surprised the american, who you knew was strong enough to support you two.

"you gave us quite the scare." sakura muttered.

"i know, i'm sorry." you murmured, planting a kiss on her shoulder.

you three remained silent after that. the staff were wary, but the way you slept on yunjin with sakura in your arms assured them that everything was fine. you awoke to sakura tapping your cheek and yunjin caressing the skin beneath your hoodie.

"time to go, y/n/n. come on."

you found yourself in between chaewon and eunchae, the two members you scared the most tonight. they were both leaning against your shoulders, playing with your fingers. you gave them a kiss on the head, and the way chaewon closed her eyes, a contented sigh leaving her lips, and eunchae burying herself in your embrace told you that everything would be fine.

the other girls smiled, relieved to see you weren't mad anymore and had made up with them.

"go sleep. i'll wake you up once when we get there." they complied and were knocked out like a light.

you looked out the window, your thoughts racing. you let out a sigh. that explains their behavior earlier tonight. you thought it was nothing, but it turns out it did mean something.

for the time being, it appears that you will not be dating anyone.

AGAIN AND AGAIN — jennie kim

summary : you and jennie argue about the dates she had forgotten due to work. only when you were on the verge of breaking up did she realize she didn't want to lose you.

how many times has this been? 

5th? 

6th? 

you didn't know. you couldn't even count it anymore. the number of times jennie left you hanging was too much for your heart to bear.

you couldn't believe your heart was still beating after all the times jennie had broken it.

you had no idea how many tears you had shed, but your eyes hurt too much.

you couldn't count how many sleepless nights you'd had, but your body was begging you to sleep.

you waited.

and waited.

and waited.

again.

and again.

nonetheless, you were still here, pathetically sobbing at your shared home's kitchen counter. jennie made you wait again tonight and you're still waiting for her to come home.

the door finally opened after hours of waiting. there was a brief pause as jennie wondered where you were because you were usually on the couch, watching a movie or sleeping while it was playing. you could hear her heels clicking against the floor as she made her way to the kitchen, where you were.

"baby?"

you scoffed bitterly at the pet name. "baby? that's all you have to say?"

you didn't meet her gaze, so you didn't notice her lips forming a frown at the sight of your tear-stained face. jennie stood there, frozen, unsure whether she should approach you because you looked upset—

no.

mad.

"is everything okay, baby?" jennie asked, exhaustion and worry mixing evidently in her tone, but comfort was also present.

you chuckled, the bitterness still on your tongue. "really? is that all?"

exasperated, the cat-eyed woman sighed. "look, i wouldn't know if you don't tell me. just tell me so we can both sleep."

that caused you to snap.

you slammed your hands on the counter and stood up from your seat, causing jennie to flinch as the seat screeched in disapproval. when it fell to the floor with a loud thud, she jumped. she looked at you with wide eyes as you gave her the most intense glare she'd ever seen.

it almost seemed to be filled with hatred.

"i could say the same to you." you said, tears welling up again in your eyes. "you should have told me you weren't coming, jennie."

jennie. her name rang out in her head, mocking her. you don't address her as such. since then, you've preferred calling her jen and sweet pet names, but never the government name.

"tell you?" jennie echoed in confusion.

you threw your head back, your chest tightening as you felt the pain spread across your chest, and you gave her a tired look. you were in utter disbelief. you expected her to remember.

but she kept proving you wrong by forgetting again and again.

"it's supposed to be date night." you reminded her quietly, too tired, and jennie's eyes widened. her head whipped to the nearest calendar, where she noticed a date with a red heart. "you said you'd make it up to me."

jennie gave you an apologetic look and went to explain, but you simply shook your head.

"you forgot, jennie. you forgot. again. and you made me wait in the restaurant like a fucking idiot."

"i'm sorry, baby. it slipped my mind because of work." jennie explained, but you were sick of hearing the same excuse for the nth time in months.

"work, work, work." you sneered. "it's always work, jennie. how about you? me? us?"

jennie's exhaustion was catching up with her at that point and she was becoming irritated. the look she gave you caught you off guard and you laughed bitterly, tongue poking the inside of your cheeks to keep your rage at bay.

"you're upset? now? with me?" you asked, pointing to yourself.

"it's not my fault i'm busy with work, y/n!" jennie fought back, throwing her hand to the side to emphasize her annoyance. "what exactly do you want me to do?"

"i want you to please tell me that you won't be able to make it to our date night, jennie! don't make me wait like a moron at the restaurant!" you yelled as you marched up to her, tears streaming down your cheeks because you couldn't keep it in any longer.

"i want you to rest! i want you to relax! with me!"

jennie stood firm, her heart breaking at your pleading tone and nonstop crying, but she was too caught up with her frustrations at the moment to care.

"i'm busy, y/n! why can't you see that?! i thought you were okay with this?!"

you burst out laughing, tears streaming down your cheeks. "okay? you call this okay?! making me wait means okay? overworking yourself means okay?!"

"but we were okay!" jennie insisted.

"are you insane?!" you screamed. "when was the last time you touched me? when was the last time you kissed me? when was the last time you told me you love me? when, jennie?!"

jennie ran her hand through her hair in frustration. "i love you, of course i do, y/n! you're supposed to know that! and i thought you knew the risks of dating an idol?!"

"i knew, jennie! oh god. i knew! i. fucking. knew! but you promised me!" you prodded her chest, making her stumble with each harsh word you hurled at her. "you promised me that you'd make time for me."

"i understand if you're busy, jennie. grab your phone and give me a call, a text, or whatever you prefer. make someone else let me know, your managers, the girls—i don't care, just let me know! how much time does that take away from your work, huh?" you asked.

"minutes, jennie! not even a minute!" you yelled, gathering your hair in your hands to keep from injuring yourself because you were seconds away from punching the nearest wall.

you didn't, however, because you didn't want to scare away your girlfriend. you didn't want to hurt her or anyone else. you didn't want to instill fear in her because all you wanted was for her to understand your point. you weren't that kind of person; you were sweet and patient. you can't just take pain over and over because you, too, have a limit.

jennie knew that. 

she watched your face contort from anger to pain, just pain, as she was stunned by your outburst. jennie felt your pain twice as much because she was the source of it all.

"i just want you to make time for me, jennie, and i want you to rest because i see you're tired."

you were both crying and sobbing, but your vision was too blurry from your tears to see your girlfriend. you backed up, sobbing pitifully as you tried to wipe away your tears, but they kept falling.

jennie's heart sank and she took a step forward, but you turned around. she reached for your hand, but you smacked it away and cast another glare over your shoulders, as if her touching you would burn you. you wanted her to touch you because you missed your girlfriend's touch, even if it was painful, but you were too upset right now.

"don't touch me."

your girlfriend was taken aback by the venom in your tone and you walked around the couch, picking up the previously discarded coat as you made your way to the door. jennie realized it a little late, but she dashed over to stop you.

"no, no, no!" jennie begged, panicked thoughts racing through her mind as she wrapped her arms around your waist from behind, preventing you from reaching the door.

"don't touch me. let me go." you hissed, easily overpowering her and removing her arms from around you.

"please, don't go, baby!"

when you slipped out the door, jennie stumbled but cried out. she tried to chase you down, but you were already gone. the idol walked back home, sobbing, as she realized she might be alone tonight or even forever.

she was terrified by the thought.

you had work, too. 

you were busy, too. 

but you've never used your job as an excuse to skip a date night or any other event in her life.

she, on the other hand, forgot about your date night, birthday, and anniversary.

nonetheless, you stayed.

and yet, every time she came home, you always greeted her with a sad yet gentle smile, whispering an it's okay into her ear and guiding her through the exhausting night filled with anxious thoughts.

you never once mentioned being busy as jennie's friend and girlfriend.

the cat-eyed idol collapsed by the door, so she curled up there, leaning against the door frame, waiting for your arrival. if she made you wait for days and hours, it wouldn't hurt to wait for you out in the cold this time.

jennie had no idea how long it had been. one hour? or two? she didn't mind because all that mattered was that she was there when you got home. however, due to exhaustion from work and the argument tonight, she couldn't help but close her eyes, despite her best efforts to keep them open.

it was dangerous to sleep out there in the middle of the night, but jennie was knocked out before she knew it. she had nightmares about you packing your bags when you got home and she even had visions of you not returning at all. she shivered at the door, not because she was cold, but because she was afraid you would abandon her.

jennie felt a gentle swipe on her cheek and her eyes shot open in fear that it was someone else, but her racing heart calmed down when she saw your blank face. only then did she realize how tired you were; the bags under your eyes and the way your lips pursed in a thin line made her sob once more.

"y/n/n…" jennie whimpered as she reached for your shoulders, attempting to wrap her arms around you. she was afraid you didn't want her touch, but you let her. she jumped on you, sobbing and burying her face in your neck. 

your warmth was almost strange given how long she had been away from you, but it provided her with the comfort she needed.

"idiot." you whispered as you hooked an arm under her thighs. "you're an idiot for sleeping here."

you carried the small woman inside and proceeded to your shared bedroom. jennie felt the bed welcoming her and drew back with bloodshot eyes to watch you settle into your side of the bed.

"no..." jennie whimpered. she didn't want to be away from you, so she climbed on top of you, straddling your waist and laying on your body.

for a brief moment, you were silent as you gathered your thoughts, your arms not snaking around her waist as usual, causing jennie's heart to break even more.

"you should've told me if you didn't want to go on a date."

jennie shook her head frantically in response to your words and your voice fell silent. you were on the verge of giving up. "no, please. i wanted to, i swear. but i'm an idiot for standing you up and i'm so sorry."

you chuckled, but it was emotionless; it was just a huff, a sign of exhaustion. "i heard that last week and the few other weeks before that, jennie."

shaking her head, the cat-eyed woman drew back to look you in the eyes. "i swear i'll make it up to you!"

"that, too."

jennie's world came crashing down around her, and she bit her lip to keep another sob from erupting from her throat. you finally looked her in the eyes and reached up to pull her lips from between her teeth. she remembered you telling her to stop because it was damaging her soft lips.

"do you even love me?" you whispered.

your pleading tone made jennie cry. to think you were beginning to doubt that hurt her. she clenched her fists around your shirt, resting her brow on your cheek.

"i love you. i do, a lot."

"i don't see it."

you felt tears fall down your cheeks, but they weren't yours. it was jennie's and you would have cried too if you hadn't drained them all over the last few weeks. the thought had been bothering you since last month and it was the cause of your sleepless nights.

but every time jennie agreed to the dates you were trying to set up, you'd forget about it, only for it to return when she forgot.

you let out a sigh. "let's sleep. we'll talk tomorrow about... whatever this is."

with that, you went to sleep. jennie stayed on top of you all night, and you'd wake up to the shiver wracking her body as she tried to silence her sob in your neck at the thought of you possibly breaking up with her the next morning. you'd only sigh, and it took a while for you to wrap your arms around her, one hand on her back, running up and down, shushing her.

when jennie was finally able to calm herself and fall asleep, you followed suit.

you awoke with no weight on top of you, causing you to sigh. did you really expect her to be there when you woke up? pathetic. you clicked your tongue and stood up; your muscles begged you to go back to bed, but your throat was scratchy from all the crying the night before.

you made your way downstairs, a blanket wrapped around you to protect you from the biting cold, barely registering the noise in the kitchen, but you came to a halt when you saw her. she was moving around the kitchen with her back to you. there was food on the table, mostly your favorites, and she was making your favorite drink right now.

you stood there, checking to make sure you weren't hallucinating and screaming at your brain to let go of the illusion. however, she turned around, her eyes widening at the sight of you, and she jumped in surprise, spilling some of the hot drink onto her hand.

you shot forward, leaving the blanket behind, as she hissed in pain. you grabbed the drink and dragged her injured hand to the sink. you put both of them under the faucet and let the water run over the burn. jennie was initially hesitant, but she soon found herself melting against you and relieved when you rested your head against hers.

"i'm sorry." your girlfriend was the first to break the silence and you merely hummed. "i know my mistakes and i won't do it again. i will make time for you. i will make it up to you."

"and i'm sorry for saying we were okay. i'm a complete idiot." jennie added, watching your thumb caress the burn under the cold running water.

you sighed and reached for a towel to dry her hands gently. "look, it doesn't matter. all i want is for you to rest."

jennie turned to face you, a determined expression on her face. "no, i'll rest and make it up to you. i'm sorry it took me being afraid you'd leave me to realize i needed to make time for you."

"and for yourself."

your girlfriend nodded. "and for myself."

you sighed and leaned down, kissing her on the temple. jennie nuzzled up to you like the cat she is.

"please. please keep your words this time. i'm begging."

jennie gave you a firm nod and took your face in her hands, watching you lean into her touch. "i promise i will."

as your lips finally met, you shoulders sagged in relief. jennie returned the kiss with equal, if not greater, passion. 

her arms were wrapped around your shoulders, one hand on the back of your head to keep you in place. you had yours wrapped around her waist, longing for her touch. 

as your lips moved feverishly against each other, there was a promise, a vow, that she'd do everything she said today in this kitchen.

jennie pulled back, panting, and rested her head against your brow. "i called the company."

you hummed, hope lighting up within you.

"i managed to convince them to give me a break." she said happily.

you returned it. "i assume with threats?"

jennie gave a nod. "of course." she said.

when a smirk appeared on your lips, she took pride in it. "that's my girl." you said.

tears welled up in jennie's eyes, and you reached out to wipe them away with one hand. "i love you, sweetheart."

jennie sniffled. "i love you, my love, and i'm so sorry."

jennie sobbed once more in your arms, swaying as you hummed a song. it took her a few moments to calm down, but once she did, she pulled back to look at you again.

"did i mention it's a month off? a two even." she smiled, her eyes still welling up. she was just waiting for lisa to respond to their group chat messages.

you furrowed your brow. "did you get the girls involved as well?" you teased, but you were still happy.

"they got themselves involved, y/n/n." she corrected.

you laughed, knowing that the girls would have jennie's back at any time. besides, they had to lock you both in a closet to force you to confess to each other, jisoo's idea, because watching you dance around each other's feelings was agonizing.

"where do you want to go?" jennie said.

you hummed while pecking her lips. "wherever you want to go, baby."

jennie pouted. "i want you to decide."

you kissed the pout away and led her to the table. "okay, i have a few ideas, but let's talk about it over breakfast because the food is getting cold."

jennie nodded in agreement, but pulled you in for another long kiss. 

she had missed this. 

she had missed you. 

"i love you. thank you for being patient with me, but i'll make it up to you, y/n/n."

"i love you, too, jen."

nikko note: hi, hi! i'm not really the best at writing angst, so i'm sorry if this is not that good. but still, thank you so much for reading and i hope you enjoyed this one!

YOU — kim chaewon

chaewon shivered as the cold breeze tickled her skin as she stepped out of the van, her arms instinctively wrapping around herself to try to keep warm as her jacket did nothing to keep the cold air at bay. squinting her eyes, she scanned the building in front of her before turning around to watch the rest of the members exit the vehicle.

"why is it so cold?" eunchae whined, scooting closer to sakura, who quickly wrapped the maknae in an embrace to keep the two of them warm.

"oh my god." yunjin breathed out, rubbing her own arms to combat the chill that was clinging to her skin. kazuha quickly followed the american, but when she saw sakura and eunchae, she squeezed herself into sakura's embrace.

chaewon frowned as she watched the still open door, her patience running thin when the last remaining member didn't appear as she expected, her members' constant complaining falling on deaf ears.

"y/n?" chaewon called out, a worried expression on her face, and was about to climb back inside when you finally came out.

when you collided with her, everyone screamed in terror as chaewon's foot slipped off the vehicle. the leader yelped and braced herself for the impact, but instead she felt an arm wrap around her waist and a quick tug. she let out another yelp as she clutched your hoodie, her eyes wide as she looked into your sleepy but worried eyes.

"i'm sorry, unnie. are you okay?" you queried, your voice slightly husky from sleeping on sakura's shoulder the entire trip.

warmth, which she had been missing, quickly filled her body as she tried to calm her racing heart against her ribcage, her grip on you tightening at the same time yours around her waist tightened due to her lack of response. chaewon heard the camera clicks and side-eyed the other members, who were all trying to keep their squeals in check as they took pictures and possibly even videos, then looked up at your barely open eyes, the cold definitely making you drowsier.

chaewon smiled softly, her eyes softening in adoration as she looked at you. "i'm okay, y/n/n. come on, let's go so we can get you to bed, yeah?"

you nodded sleepily and unwrapped your arm from around the form of your leader, causing the shorter girl to frown at the lack of warmth.

she wasn't sure where she got her sudden courage, whether it was because you were sleepy and she was sure you wouldn't notice, or because the cold was making her shiver and desperate for someone's warmth, specifically yours. 

chaewon took your hand in hers, intertwining your fingers to feel your familiar warmth spread quickly through her body, and dragged you inside the hotel, giving the members a look that made them quickly hide their phones and push back the squeal that threatened to spill as they ran after the two of you.

you followed the shorter girl mindlessly, your eyelids dropping every now and then but forcing them up whenever you felt chaewon's hand gently squeeze yours. you waited quietly with the girls while your manager spoke to the receptionist, resting your forehead against the back of chaewon's head, causing the older one to drop her conversation with yunjin, who chuckled audibly due to the leader's whipped actions, but the american quickly turned around to join the others because of the hard glare she received.

"y/n." chaewon murmured as she reached behind her with her other free hand to pat your hip, drawing your attention.

you hummed in response. "unnie?"

chaewon chuckled. "you've been sleeping this whole time, y/n-ah. how are you still sleepy right now?"

"tired, unnie~" you whined quietly, tugging on her hand, causing chaewon's chest to swell with adoration.

the leader went quiet and let you lean against her, but her mind was racing with thoughts as she panicked because of you, while simultaneously yelling at her heart to slow down.

soon after, the manager arrived to hand over the keys. "partner up and go to your rooms. rest up, we have a long day tomorrow."

chaewon watched as the others partnered up, yunjin dragging kazuha to the elevator with her and sakura gently leading their maknae right behind them. the leader squeezed your hand, and you returned the action while humming.

"come on, we're roommates tonight." chaewon giggled, raising her hand in the air to show you the key, which jiggled lightly.

"well, that's unfortunate."

chaewon turned to face you, glaring up at you, and you simply grinned at her fuming face, the angry red color rising from her neck up to her face. as she watched the playful glint swim in your drowsy eyes, the other girl could tell you were only joking. besides, she knew that out of everyone in the group, you preferred rooming with her. that doesn't mean her anger issues won't surface.

"i'm just kidding, unnie." you laughed happily. 

you had to drag the cute angry leader to the elevator because she didn't want to leave her spot just to stare at you. you were amused inside the elevator as chaewon stood facing you, arms crossed and brow furrowed deeply, her eyes seemingly burning holes into your forehead with how hard she was staring at you.

"yah, you teased her again, didn't you?" yunjin cackled from behind you as eunchae laughed at you.

you stifled a quiet laugh. "of course, i did."

you let out another amused chuckle as her brow twitched slightly, but you caught it because your eyes were on her face, trying to memorize her cute angry features in your head, eyes bouncing all over her face to scan every single small detail.

"don't be too hard on her, y/n-ah." sakura said lightly, catching kazuha's teasing look, which chaewon scrunched her nose at.

because your assigned shared room with chaewon was on the other side of the hall, you stepped out of the elevator and parted ways with the other members. you led the way quietly, feeling your leader's glare on your back, which you ignored for the time being as you reached the room. you opened the door for your leader, and you noticed her eyes soften briefly as she walked past you before her glare returned full force.

you followed her inside, laughing, and placed your belongings next to chaewon's bag. you were quick to return to the bed, which was the only one in the room that you had overlooked. chaewon, nervous, stared at the bed you haphazardly sat on. it was large enough to accommodate both of you, but not so large that your skin would come into contact with each other later on.

"y/n?" chaewon's voice shook lightly as she called out your name, swallowing the lump in her throat as she realized she sounded a little too nervous.

"hm?"

"there's only one bed."

you struggled to open your eyes as you sat up and looked around the room. chaewon stood there watching you, one hand on her other arm, rubbing her skin nervously. you looked at her and noticed her nervously shuffling around, but you ignored it and shrugged.

"we'll share the bed." you shrugged nonchalantly, and chaewon's ears turned red with embarrassment, mentally cursing you out for being so casual about the subject.

the short-haired girl pointed to the couch. "i'll sleep on the couch."

you raised a brow, ignoring the ache in your chest. you had no problem sleeping in the same bed as her and assumed chaewon was fine with sleeping next to you on a bed, but it appears you were mistaken. your brow furrowed in disappointment and sadness as you watched your leader walk to the couch, your lips ajar.

"ah, do you not want to sleep next to me?"

chaewon's neck snapped as she turned her head to look at you, panic setting in as she saw your pinched expression. she went to explain, panickily waving her hands in the air, but you were already on your feet.

"i'll take the couch, unnie." you said weakly, suddenly more tired than before.

"no. yah, yah. yah, y/n-ah."

chaewon followed you as you made your way to the couch, panicking. her panicked incomprehensible explanation, however, fell on deaf ears as you quickly sat down on the couch, unwilling to hear whatever your leader had to say.

"yah, stop." as you turned away from her, chaewon whined lightly and her shoulders sagged in defeat.

as the silence stretched for a few more minutes, you assumed chaewon had left to fix her things or settle down on the bed. during those silent minutes, you were slowly drifting away from consciousness when you felt a weight on top of you and jerked slightly away in shock as a body squeezed in your crossed arms.

"chaewon unnie? what are you doing?" you asked, brows furrowed in confusion.

chaewon shifted around, cursing, and quietly apologized when you hissed in pain from her accidentally crushing your arm beneath her. you leaned back to look at her irritated expression, a familiar pink tint spreading across your cheeks as she reached around your neck and rested her arms on your shoulders.

"i'm going to sleep with you." chaewon grumbled, her gaze flitting down to your lips before returning it to your confused sleepy eyes, clearing her throat in embarrassment.

"the bed is bigger—"

when her eyes became harder, your eyes widened, and the frown that formed on her brow seemed to be permanent due to how hard she was glaring. chaewon never liked making eye contact with you because it made her feel giddy, but she was guilty of making you sad, so she was going to prove something to you.

"i'm. sleeping. with. you." chaewon stated, emphasizing each word to get you to shut up, which you did.

it was your turn to avoid her gaze this time, and you chose to pull her closer to you so you could hide your red face in her short hair. your heart was racing so fast that you were afraid chaewon would hear it, but chaewon was preoccupied with her own heart racing nonstop for you because of the way you held her so securely and tightly in your arms.

chaewon's fingers played with your hair to distract herself, which you soon found comfort in as she combed your hair with her fingers, sometimes gently scratching your scalp to coax you to sleep. chaewon noticed how your grip on her loosened as you drifted off to sleep, and when it finally did, she drew back to stare at you.

your features were peaceful and content as you slept silently in her embrace, and she reached for your face, fingers gently tracing your soft skin and smiling as she felt the familiar warmth within her again. she sighed and rested her brow against yours, staring at your ajar lips as her fingertips caressed your jaw, tempted to fill the space in between like a puzzle.

chaewon always felt it, the warmth across her chest and the butterflies in her stomach, whenever you were close, when she was with you, when you touched her or did something for her, and just because of you in general.

however, chaewon couldn't do anything about it. she did not act on her emotions. she has been dropping hints ever since she discovered her feelings for you, which she initially thought she would find difficult to accept. but because it was you, who she harbored feelings for, she was quick to accept it.

she remained silent and never expressed her feelings for you aloud. although the other members were aware of it because she was so obvious, everyone, including the staff, was surprised you hadn't picked up on her painfully obvious admiration yet.

chaewon sighed softly and looked at you, her eyes filled with pain. "i like you, you know? my god. i like you so much and you don't even know."

as she finally let go of the words she had been hoping to tell you, the heavy weight on her chest was lifted. unfortunately, it has to be like this while you sleep, but it was somewhat relieving because she didn't have to face rejection.

"you are such an idiot. how come you never noticed my hints?" chaewon grumbled.

the leader waited for a response, but sighed when she realized you were sleeping. she wanted to cry right then and there, but she couldn't let go, so she tried to relax in your embrace.

her gaze bounced all over your face, eyes frequently finding your lips, but she forced her gaze away every time to avoid being tempted to place hers on yours. chaewon could feel the steady rising and falling of your chest as your calm breathing mingled with hers. 

your warmth and the promise of safety you unconsciously extended to everyone around you, particularly her, wrapped around her like a protective blanket against the harsh world.

chaewon was brought back to reality as your voice filled the silent room, just as she was about to fall asleep.

"i did."

chaewon's body tensed, and her initial ministrations on your face and hair came to an abrupt halt. she watched as you slowly opened your eyes and met hers with a comforting gaze. your face warmed up as you processed her sudden confession, and your grip on her tightened once more, refusing to let the small girl escape the confrontation.

"i noticed and i know." you murmured.

"you heard all that?" chaewon inquired, tears welling up in her eyes as she braced herself for rejection.

you hummed. "you should really double-check to see if the person you're confessing to is awake, you know?"

chaewon averted her gaze and gulped to calm her racing heart. she remained silent and frozen there, knowing she wouldn't be able to escape the room, especially you, because even if she did, your long arms would simply wrap around her again.

you watched as the leader tried to blink away her tears, but it only caused a few tears to fall down her cheeks, which you wiped away. you didn't like seeing your members cry, and your heart would hurt even more if chaewon shed even a single tear.

"well?" chaewon returned your gaze, her voice trembling as she grasped your wrist.

"well?" you echoed, smiling teasingly. "well, what?"

"well, what?" she replied in annoyance, but the undeniable curl of her lips said otherwise. you watched her smile, your gaze fixed on her lips, and remembered the sensation of her soft touch against the skin beneath your lips.

you chuckled at the memory. "well, if you won't do it, i will."

chaewon looked perplexed at this. your leader stared at you, lost for words, and you could tell there was no single thought behind those innocent eyes, causing you to laugh in delight. you couldn't stand it any longer, so you gently grasped her chin between your thumb and pointer finger and leaned in to take her lower lip between yours.

chaewon flushed red as sparks flew all around her, but her ears blocked out all noise as her senses tried to process the soft caress of your lips. her hands fell to your shoulders and she gripped you, her nails digging into your skin and making you scrunch your nose in pain, but you ignored it.

chaewon finally responded to your small kisses a second later, and her eyes closed, causing previously sad but now happy tears to fall. when you tasted the salt of her happy tears on your lips, you reached for her cheek and wiped them away. your thumb caressed the skin under her eye, and she sighed against your lips.

you chuckled and pulled away, silently watching her as she composed herself. chaewon opened her eyes and saw you staring softly at her, which made her blush. she hid her face as she felt it turning pink, but you pushed her chin up.

"don't hide, unnie." you whispered with a small smile.

chaewon smiled shyly. "you like me, too?"

"i do. i like you." 

instead, she hid herself in your embrace, pressing her face into the crook of your neck, and you laughed. for a brief moment, you both fell silent, and chaewon could finally feel and hear your heart beat against your cage whenever her fingertips brushed against your neck. chaewon wrapped her arms around you tighter and relaxed with you, but she did pay attention when you decided to break the comfortable silence.

"i like rooming with you, by the way." you informed her, causing chaewon to chuckle at the way your chest vibrated as you laughed with her.

chaewon pulled away to look at you, her nose scrunched up cutely as she took your face in her hands. "i like sleeping next to you."

you hummed. "do you know where it's more comfortable to sleep together?"

chaewon laughed as you rose from the couch, took her hands in yours, and led her to the bed while wiggling your brows at her. your leader swatted at you, but allowed you to lead her back to the abandoned bed, falling back with her on top of you.

"i can think of someone more comfortable to sleep on." chaewon smiled down at you, her fingers pinching and stretching your cheeks.

you hummed. "yeah? who?"

"you." chaewon replied and leaned down to plant a small kiss on your lips, causing you to smile and reach up to chase her and kiss her chin as she leaned back up.

"you know who i like?"

chaewon giggled giddily. "who?"

"you."

"are you ready?"

yunjin snapped out of her racing incomprehensible thoughts as stood in front of the mirror, tearing her gaze away from the item in her palm to look at her leader, who gave her a soft smile. she cleared her throat and returned her gaze to the mirror in front of her, fixing her hair as an excuse to avoid chaewon's comforting eyes.

"yeah, i'll be out in a bit, unnie."

the leader met sakura's eyes from across the hall. "alright. we'll wait for you outside."

yunjin caught sight of her own eyes in the mirror, memories swirling into her brown orbs as she gazed. the memories she treasured, the memories that brought her so much joy, the memories that completed her heart, the memories that made her cry because she loved them all so much.

yunjin remembered everything in that brief moment. the memories, everything, slammed into her as if she were standing beneath waterfalls or watching the waves crash against the sandy shore of a beach. it was that intense; she had no idea recalling something could be that intense. 

as her heart pounded hard against her ribcage, yunjin took it all in, watching it all as if it were a short scene from a movie.

i got a heart and i got a soul

believe me, i will use them both

"unnie, just ask her out." 

eunchae bounced excitedly in her seat, shaking yunjin beside her as kazuha turned around to take a peek at you, which was a little obvious, causing yunjin to reach out and smack the japanese ballerina. kazuha turned around with an offended expression on her face, both of them slightly amused as yunjin's cheeks flared red in embarrassment, not helping the desire to take another longing glance at you.

"stop looking at her." yunjin hissed. 

"i was just looking around?" kazuha reasoned.

yunjin gave her one last look before slumping back in her seat, arms crossed across her chest and a small pout on her lips.

she had seen you a few times in this coffee shop. she'd see you in the corner, hidden away from the world, typing on the keyboard of your laptop with a focused frown on your lips whenever she stopped by to order after her training. as creepy as it sounds, she would occasionally stay for a few moments to catch a glimpse of you.

kazuha and eunchae exchanged a glance as they noticed her casting another glance your way, having had enough of yunjin's cowardice. the two youngest teamed up and continued to convince yunjin throughout their time at the coffee shop, breathing in and out of frustration when she simply shrugged her shoulders in response.

unfortunately for them, they were unable to convince yunjin. however, just as it was time to leave, eunchae had this brilliant idea. 

the young girl managed to push yunjin out of her seat and into your arms as you passed by, hoping to get another order because you decided to stay longer to work on your other projects, when instead you got a flying brunette. you caught her, eyes wide as you stared at her shocked expression, her face slowly burning in realization as she realized what had happened.

"i'm so sorry!" yunjin yelped, flying out of your arms to give you a deep bow, giving eunchae a look in the process, to which the maknae sheepishly grinned.

you returned it with a gentle smile. "it's fine. can i help you with anything?"

yunjin had no idea where she got her confidence. maybe it's because kazuha and eunchae have been instilling false hope in her head the entire time and for the past few days. the words had flown out of her mouth before she realized it, her face turning redder than usual as a surprised look rose to your face.

"can i get your number?"

you blinked in surprise. you've seen her around, too. you must admit that she is stunning. however, you were so preoccupied with your schoolwork that you didn't have much time to think about it.

when you took a long time to respond because you were gathering your currently scattered thoughts, yunjin went to speak to take it all back, feeling embarrassed for even asking, but you beat her to it with a smile, making yunjin fall for you even more.

"of course, miss…?

"yunjin. huh yunjin." she rushed to take your hand, and she felt the need to melt right away as she felt your soft skin and warmth enveloping her with a single touch of a hand.

"miss huh yunjin. and i'm y/n l/n." you finished and glanced at her friends. she did the same to see them smiling and waving at you, which you returned with a soft smile.

"however, i had no idea that flying into the arms of a complete stranger was a new way of flirting."

we made a start, be it a false one, i know

baby, i don't want to feel alone

you were quick to make plans with yunjin. normally, you'd be wary, but she seemed so sweet, and she's so beautiful, that you couldn't help but give her a chance. yunjin was overjoyed when she received the message, squealing so loudly that a few of the other company employees ran over to check on her.

you went on a date, with yunjin taking you to places where you could find solace because, after seeing you in that coffee shop for weeks, she knew you'd prefer places like the one where you met.

she had butterflies the entire time, and so did you. holding hands, giggling like little girls, exchanging smiles, staring when the other wasn't looking, blushing when the other did something cute, and other such antics.

you had fun and were quick to like her.

yunjin fell deeper and was over the moon.

unfortunately, that day had to come to an end quickly, and you dropped her off, promising to see her again soon. yunjin waited for you to leave before releasing the squeal she'd been holding in all day, punching the air excitedly, causing kazuha and eunchae, who were waiting for her, to laugh at the older girl's silly reactions.

in her defense, you were really amazing today and treated her well.

so kiss me where i lay down

my hands pressed to your cheeks

yunjin found herself walking next to you in the middle of the night on the third date. you had taken her to an arcade, where she became tired because both of you were too competitive and wouldn't back down from a challenge, even if it was from another couple, which you were quick to accept and team up against, eventually winning.

so she was tired, but really happy.

you wrapped your arms around her waist, allowing her to lean against you for support. the entire walk was silent, both of you basking in each other's comforting warmth as the cold air of the night brushed against your skin.

you arrived quickly because the walk was short and yunjin drew back, but she kept your hand in hers, her thumb caressing the back of your hand.

"thank you for today, y/n/n." yunjin said, pulling you in closer.

you hummed, shyly returning her smile because she was a little too close to you, not that you mind her proximity at all. you squeezed her hand.

"thank you, yunjin-ie." you said quietly.

yunjin looked down at your lips, which you didn't miss, shuffling around in panic, your heart thudding nervously in your chest.

yunjin didn't know how she got to the third date without incident, but she couldn't do it any longer. your enticing eyes, plump lips, red cheeks, soft hands, tight koala hugs, soothing warmth, sweet words, adorable habits, and so on.

she adored everything.

with a quick glance at you, waiting for your consent, which you gave with a small nod, yunjin grabbed your face into her hands and her lips were quick to claim yours. you gripped her waist with one hand and gripped her wrist with the other to keep yourself grounded because you could feel your sanity slowly slipping away as her lips caressed yours softly.

yunjin's face pinched, holding you impossibly close, unable to let you go.

and so the moon and stars witnessed your first passionate kiss.

a long way from the playground

you were the first to pull away, your lungs screaming at you, and yunjin chased you, but stopped when you chuckled and rested your brow against her cheek. her warm breath hit your ear as yours hit her neck, causing prickling goosebumps to appear all over her skin.

"you waited a bit long for that, huh?" you joked.

yunjin grinned, watching you raise your head and returning your giddy smile. she gestured to you playfully, as if showing you off to a crowd of people. "i mean, look at you. you can't blame me, i was scared."

you chuckled and pulled her in. 

"don't be scared. kiss me again."

i have loved you since we were eighteen

"how's practice?"

yunjin collided with you, causing you to pause your typing on your laptop. you were going to sleep over tonight, and she also let you stay for the day to work on your backlogs while she did company training. yunjin wrapped her arms around your shoulders, burying her nose in your hair to inhale the familiar shampoo you used on your hair, which was now also on her pillows as a result of how frequently you'd stayed over for the past few days.

"tiring." yunjin mumbled, exhaustion evident in her voice.

yunjin quietly watched you, humming in content, as you quickly saved your work. you stood up and turned around, your brow raised at her satisfied grin and happy expression. you laughed at her ridiculous antics as you led her to her bed, allowing her to hold you close to her chest.

long before we both thought the same thing

to be loved and to be in love

"i'm sorry i couldn't spend much time with you."

you chuckled and gently hit her exposed stomach, which was exposed because her hoodie had ridden up when she pulled you down onto the bed with her. you reached up to pinch yunjin's cheeks as she drew back to look at you with puppy eyes.

"idiot, who do you think i am?" you asked, brows raised.

yunjin's pout grew bigger. "my girlfriend."

"exactly. i understand, baby. don't worry." you reassured and patted her cheeks continuously, only stopping when her pout finally disappeared.

yunjin drew you close and curled down to rest her brow on yours, lovingly gazing into your eyes. to comfort the tired girl, you returned the same intensity, hand squeezing her upper arm and leaning up to plant small kisses on her lips, which she would pucker up.

all i can do is say that these arms were made for holdin' you, oh

i wanna love like you made me feel

"debut is near, huh?" you whispered, worry swimming in your eyes.

yunjin simply hummed.

"are you excited?" you queried.

yunjin bit her lower lip. she knew that you were aware that something was wrong, and she was unsure whether she should be grateful. she didn't keep her problems from you, but she'd rather deal with them on her own. 

however, with you looking worried like the concerned girlfriend you are, yunjin broached the subject that had been bothering her since she was told she'd be in the lineup.

"i promise i'll make time for you."

you expected it, both her words and the fact that she'd be busy in the near future due to her career, so you held her face, thumbs gently brushing across her cheeks. yunjin enjoyed your warmth and leaned against your touch as you spoke.

you smiled. "i know, jen, i understand. but you need to promise me another thing."

"which is? anything, my love."

"i want you to be open with me. tell me, let me know anything and everything, and update me from time to time. understand?"

yunjin nodded obediently. "i promise, love. i swear."

when we were eighteen

you went quiet, satisfied. you just stared at each other, touches received and given, warm breaths intermingling in the remaining space between you two. until yunjin broke the peaceful silence.

"i love you."

"i love you, too."

we took a chance, god knows we've tried

"yunjin, i thought i told you to let me know?"

in response to your frustrated question, yunjin ran her hand through her hair, turning around to face you, causing you to bump into her, and she quickly reached out to steady you, albeit still stressed due to their debut preparation.

"i was busy, y/n." yunjin argued back.

"you think i didn't know that?" 

your voice was weak, indicating you were getting tired. yunjin looked at you, having avoided your teary eyes because she knew you were correct. she promised months ago to tell you, to let you know anything and everything, and to keep you updated, which she has all but failed to do in the last few days. however, her pride and stress were both impeding her reconciliation with you.

"i just wanted to know if you're okay. can't you tell me that?" 

you sighed, tired, and yunjin panicked when you turned around, fingers wrapping around your wrist. you were pulled back into yunjin's body, her arms quickly wrapping around your waist. you stood motionless as the soon-to-be-debuting american clung to you, her face hidden in your hair. after a brief moment of silence, whispered apologies reached your ears, yunjin swaying you from behind to the nonexistent music.

"i'm sorry. forgive me?"

yet all along, i knew we'd be fine

you melted in her embrace, sighing and pulling her arms around you tighter. yunjin kissed you all over the head, smiling triumphantly as she heard you giggling quietly. she turned around and wiped her thumbs under your eyes before planting another kiss between your brows.

"let me make it up to you?"

"mhm."

"ice cream and movies?"

so pour me a drink, oh, love

and let's split the night wide open

yunjin sat back in her chair, pure adoration swimming in her eyes as she watched you bond happily with her group members. she sipped her drink quietly as she watched you converse with sakura and kazuha in japanese, pride blooming in her chest because she got herself an intelligent girlfriend.

despite being a year younger than chaewon and not even being in the idol industry, when she asked you how to be a proper leader, you gave her the advice she needed. you understood the stress of always being the leader at school, chaewon reasoned, and yunjin rolled her eyes but listened quietly to your advice.

yunjin admired the way you animatedly interacted with eunchae, the younger girl staring at you in awe. as eunchae tugged on your sleeves and pointed to the food next to you that she couldn't reach, yunjin smiled as you helped their adorable maknae fill her plate with whatever food she desired.

and we'll see everything we can

living love in slow motion, motion, motion

if you were embarrassed by the girls' compliments, yunjin would laugh, loving the way your cheeks heated up whenever she agreed or added more comments. she adores how your eyes crinkle with delight whenever the girls do something ridiculously amusing.

and she adores it when you join in on their silly antics. there was one time you were laughing your asses off on the floor in response to kazuha's adorable fall and cute pouty face.

yunjin…

well, yunjin just loves you very much.

so kiss me where i lay down

my hands pressed to your cheeks

when yunjin was able to get you to herself that night, the girls leaving for a moment to get extra drinks (and eunchae's juice), she pulled you close to her and her lips brushed against your temple as she gently whispered to you.

"i love you, y/n/n."

you grinned up at her, melting against her as she wrapped her arm around your shoulder. yunjin sipped her drink as you whispered softly against her neck, smiling against the rim of her glass and watching the girls struggle, who refused to let eunchae do anything.

a long way from the playground

"i love you, too, jen."

i have loved you since we were eighteen

as she watched you walk down the aisle, yunjin felt a tug on the corner of her lips. your eyes were glossy with crystal clear tears threatening to spill, which you quickly pushed away as you smiled wide, flashing your perfect pearly whites.

long before we both thought the same thing

to be loved and to be in love

as you made your way to the altar, clutching onto your father for support and dear life, your gown hugged your body and your veil was slowly dragged behind you. yunjin knew you wanted to cry, but she also knew you didn't like crying about something you should be happy about, even if the tears were happy tears.

and all i can do is say that these arms were made for holdin' you, oh

tears streamed down yunjin's cheek, and you kissed your father on the cheek briefly. you turned around, tearing up, as one hand reached out to help you up the stairs, and you melted against her side.

and i wanna love like you made me feel

when we were eighteen

it was your dream to marry. 

yunjin remembers.

you'd always told her about it: how you wanted a ring on your finger, how you wanted that gorgeous gown (the exact same design), how you'd laugh at her if she cried at the altar.

she remembers it all.

when we were eighteen

oh, lord

when we were eighteen

"in the sight of god and these witnesses, i now pronounce you wife and wife! you may now kiss!"

kiss me where i lay down

my hands pressed to your cheeks

everyone could see you could barely hold back your tears as a pair of hands eagerly reached out to hold your face. more tears streamed down yunjin's cheeks as she watched you lean in, yu jimin tearfully returning the kiss, clutching the ring in her hand so tightly it would leave a mark. 

your tears began to fall as soon as you felt your wife's lips against yours, and the loud cheers in your ears were muffled, and the breaking of yunjin's heart was louder than the cheering crowd, with pieces of it breaking under your own heels.

a long way from the playground

"y/n/n, i love you, my wife."

"i love you, ji, my wife."

she was supposed to be happy for you. she tried, she swears she tried her hardest to pretend. she just couldn't. she was incapable of doing so. yunjin felt bad for feeling this way. she felt bad for wanting to ruin the wedding that had just occurred. 

your wedding. 

yunjin wasn't supposed to wish it was her instead of yu jimin next to you, peppering the back of your head with small kisses that you adored and holding you so close. she wasn't supposed to want to whisk you away from yu jimin, whose arms were wrapped around your waist as she planted kisses on your temples while you happily wept in front of the crowd, jimin whispering comforting words in your ear.

i have loved you since we were eighteen

long before we both thought the same thing

to be loved and to be in love

yunjin will never forgive her company for ruining your relationship. the relationship she had been guarding since before they made their debut. the relationship, which in every waking moment of her life, she treasured. the only relationship she would enter again and again throughout her life and the afterlife, but would never leave if only given the chance. the relationship that her company ruined, causing both parties to suffer at the time. 

yunjin would never forgive the company for threatening both sides, including the members. she would hate them for the rest of her life. she will carry her hatred for them to her grave and the afterlife.

and all i can do is say that these arms were made for holdin' you, oh

and i wanna love like you made me feel

when we were eighteen

and huh yunjin would never forgive herself for letting you slip through her fingers.

i wanna love like you made me feel

when we were eighteen

as you took pictures with your family and friends, the cheers of the crowd fell on her deaf ears. she couldn't hear or feel her friends speak to her or try to shake her out of her reverie. she watched you as you squished your face with your wife, a wide happy smile on both of your faces.

yunjin wished it had been her. 

yunjin wished she could be your wife. 

yunjin wished she could have you.

i wanna love like you made me feel

yunjin wished you were looking for her as you lifted your head to scan the crowd. however, as much as she wished for it, seeing your sparkling eyes was too painful. 

so, even if she wanted you to see her, yunjin turned and quickly left, her tearstained face hidden from view.

it hurt too much.

yunjin despised the idea that another woman would fall in love with you for the same reasons she had. she despised the thought of another woman touching you after she had laid her hands on you. she despised the fact that she wouldn't be the one to hear your sweet words and soft i love you's. she despised the fact that you wouldn't wake up to her silly faces or sweet kisses.

yunjin despised it. yunjin despised yu jimin.

you had moved on with her, married her. all of your dreams came true, but not with yunjin, but with your wife.

it was unfair. 

because yunjin was still in love with you after all these years.

you've known jihyo since you were a trainee. you first met her during your second year of training. you remember that day as vividly as if it had happened yesterday. you remember how your knees shook and how many embarrassed bows of respect you gave your senior when she caught you dancing to twice's song late at night in a dance practice room.

"jihyo sunbaenim?!"

jihyo returned the bow while waving you to stop, laughing at the red tint across your face, which she couldn't tell if it was from her or from the hours you'd been dancing.

"you're doing it wrong." jihyo said, voice soft and gentle smile to show you she wasn't mad or anything. still, you scratched the back of your head in embarrassment, complying when jihyo gestured you to play the music.

"let me teach you how it goes."

ever since then, jihyo would stop by the usual room you used to train in if she had enough time to help you or simply watch you, finding solace. she was impressed with how quickly you picked up on whatever she taught you. what impressed her the most was your maturity; you were only two years younger, but you seemed to give her sound advice whenever she confided in you about her problems. as embarrassing as it was for her to admit she was confiding in someone younger and not even in the industry with her problems, you provided her with comfort that no one else could.

when jihyo learned that you were finally making your debut alongside the other girls, she was the one who suggested to jyp that you be given the position because you deserved it. 

that's how you got to be the leader. 

"jihyo unnie."

jihyo hummed, watching as you breathed heavily, having just finished practicing your debut song. she rose from the floor and handed you a water bottle and a towel, which you gratefully accepted despite your flushing.

"they said i'm going to be the leader of itzy." you murmured, staring at yourself in the mirror. jihyo knew you had something more to say, so she remained quiet and waited for you to continue.

however, she didn't expect tears to well up in your eyes, whether from surprise or gratitude, jihyo couldn't tell. she drew you into her arms quickly, not caring if you were sweaty, and ran her fingers through your wet hair. she gently swayed you from side to side as you cried on her shoulder.

"what's wrong? don't you want to be the leader?" jihyo asked and you shook her head, sniffling lightly.

"it's not that. it's just… unbelievable." you explained, hiccuping every now and then, and jihyo couldn't help but coo at you. "apparently, someone saw me deserving and the girls also voted for me."

"because you are." jihyo reassured you, sensing that you had no idea the woman you were hugging was the one who suggested, and pulled back to wipe your tears and brush your bangs while still holding you in her arms.

"it'll be difficult, but i'm only a phone call away, okay?" 

that's when you realized your feelings for your senior had shifted. you didn't like her just because she was your senior or idol. you liked her because she was jihyo. you could feel your heart begin to beat differently, a little faster than usual, and it wasn't due to the heavy dancing you had just done.

jihyo held your cheek, raising her brows expectantly. "you hear me?"

you nodded, snapping out of your realization, and buried your face into her shoulder to avoid her piercing gaze. her hand went to the back of your head and gave you pats.

"are we clear on that?"

you hummed. "yes, unnie."

jihyo smiled. "good."

when you made your debut, the first person to greet you was jihyo, with your family and friends' congratulatory messages being a few seconds later than her text message, which came as soon as the music video was released. unfortunately, jihyo was unable to attend your debut stage and instead sent you a cake and a bouquet of flowers.

"someone sent this for you." your manager said, handing you the bouquet.

you took it from him with a confused frown, ryujin peering over your shoulder to see who it was as you opened the small card attached to it. your face flushed as you read the brief message and the name that followed, along with the all-too-familiar signature.

congratulations on your debut, sweetheart! i'm so proud of you. 

park jihyo.

ryujin's face lit up with a shit-eating grin as she shook you back and forth, causing you to hide your face behind the bouquet, the soft scent of the flowers invading your nose. 

as ryujin called out your embarrassed state, gaining the attention of your other members, who immediately joined in on the teasing because they all knew jihyo was your idol, your face brightened, the familiar red hue returning to your face after a long time of not interacting with jihyo due to her busy schedule and your busy debut preparation.

after that, you grabbed your phone and sent your senior a message.

thank you for the bouquet, unnie!

jihyo was quick to reply and you wondered if she was on a break with how quick she returned the message, but you shook it off, flushing red at the text across the screen.

of course. feel free to message me when you're having trouble, okay? i'm here to listen and help.

initially, you didn't intend to do that because you desired independence. you wanted to show them you deserved to be the leader of your group. you were afraid to rely on others because you didn't want to appear irresponsible or overly reliant on others.

however, when the hatred became too much for you, you needed to turn to someone who wasn't yeji or lia, and especially not your group's maknae line. you adored them and wouldn't dare to burden them with your problems.

so all you could think about was jihyo.

you hesitated to press on her number on your screen, your thumb hovering above it as your mind raced at the prospect of her being busy or resting. you couldn't think much about it because her name flashed across the screen and you hurried to answer her call.

"unnie?" you breathed out nervously, playing with the hem of your shirt.

a sigh was heard from the other side of the line. "i thought i told you to rely on me?"

you tried to play dumb. "yeah? what's happening?"

"don't act. i saw the articles." jihyo deadpanned, causing you to sigh in defeat.

"i, uh, didn't want to…" you trailed off, finding the correct words so as to not offend your worried senior. "burden you?"

there was another sigh and a few seconds of shuffling before jihyo's reprimanding yet soft voice came through the speaker again. you remained quiet as she spoke, her voice becoming more passionate as seconds ticked by.

"i want you to know you can rely on me. it's okay to be weak. it's okay to cry. it's okay to rely on someone. i know how hard it is to be a leader, so i want to be there for you. let me please?"

you shouldn't be surprised because you've heard it from her a few times before. nonetheless, you were taken aback by the genuine tone and comforting words. maybe it was because the wall you built was immediately demolished by the one and only jihyo, or maybe it was because your crush was the one to reach out first and say all these simple yet sweet words to you.

nonetheless, a sob escaped your throat, one hand flying to your mouth to silence yourself lest your members become concerned, and jihyo listened silently, gesturing to nayeon, who was sitting next to her, to notify yeji that she was coming over.

jihyo became your safe haven during your first year of work. when you weren't busy, you'd call her, cry in her arms, or simply hang out with the older girl. jihyo kept her promise to help you adjust to your new role as leader, and she made you promise to open up about your problems. who were you to say no? 

jihyo was actually glaring at you when the subject was brought up, so you had no choice but to give in.

naturally, your feelings for her grew stronger. you thought it was gone, but then you found yourself hanging out with her or crying your heart out to her, and the feelings returned. or perhaps they never left at all and were simply buried deep underground due to work? that, or you were afraid of ruining your friendship status with jihyo.

having said that, you've remained friends with her until now.

"where are you going?" nayeon asked loudly, attracting the attention of the other members in their respective rooms, the living room, and jeongyeon's, who was standing near the sink. 

the oldest noticed jihyo passing by, fully dressed and disguised, and an idea struck her, so she called out to her.

"i'll go see y/n/n." jihyo answered and frowned when she saw nayeon and jeongyeon share a not-so-subtle look, but shrugged it off. "she's practicing and she said she needs help. i'll be back real quick."

"bye, unnie!"

"take care, jihyo!"

"bring back food please!"

when the door closed, the members went to the kitchen, where the two oldest were talking about what had just happened, or rather, what had been going on for years.

"is it just me or y/n/n always asks for jihyo unnie's help?" dahyun commented, stealing the bread from jeongyeon's hand, causing the older one to glare to which the tofu merely smiled.

"and jihyo—"

"no, wait." nayeon cut sana off, fishing out her phone. the members watched her, confused, and she caught their expressions and shrugged. 

"it's about time we step in. it's been years."

when her phone rang, yeji paused, watching as nayeon's contact name flashed across her screen. lia turned around, and yeji met her gaze before answering the phone.

"nayeon unnie?"

the girls shared a knowing look when they heard yeji's voice, except for momo and sana, who looked at the phone that nayeon had placed on speaker and on the table. meanwhile, lia had gone off to find the other members, waving yuna over who was chilling in the living room and dragging ryujin and chaeryeong out of their rooms.

"have you noticed that your y/n unnie always asks for jihyo's help, too?" nayeon went straight to the point, not wasting any more time because it was painful to watch you two dance around your own feelings.

the juniors exchanged a glance. "too? you mean, you've noticed as well?" yeji responded.

ryujin grimaced, relieved that they were finally going to do something because she knew you'd never do anything and would suffer in silence.

sana joined the conversation, albeit clueless, to continue what she was about to say before nayeon cut her off. "and jihyo never fails to offer her the assistance she requires, no matter where we are or how busy our schedules are."

"and it wasn't really hard to notice." dahyun said.

"were they even trying to hide it?" mina asked quietly, causing tzuyu to grumble from behind her. "they both suck at it then."

lia laughed. "y/n unnie never hid it, but she tried."

"i love jihyo unnie, but i'm not sure how she hasn't noticed it yet because y/n unnie's crush is written all over her face." chaeryeong remarked, joining tzuyu at sassing both sides.

a laugh escaped jeongyeon's throat. "i don't think jihyo is aware of her feelings yet."

"or she's denying it." chaeyoung added.

"then what are we going to do now?" dahyun asked and momo perked up from next to her. "what about dinner?"

when everyone went silent, momo didn't know if they were thinking about it or thought her idea was stupid, but she ignored the latter when she received a clap to the back from jeongyeon. on the other end of the line, ryujin was quietly nodding, and yuna was already planning a strategy in her head.

the youngest of itzy leaned forward. "i know what to do."

you were a little late for dinner. all of the twice members apparently wanted to have dinner with you and your group. you were late, however, because you had one more separate schedule before you were finally free. you walked inside the restaurant after your manager dropped you off and immediately spotted the rather long table that twice and itzy occupied.

jihyo was the first to notice you. 

of course she'd be the first. 

when they arrived, itzy was already there, but you were nowhere to be found, so she immediately inquired as to your whereabouts. she was a little disappointed she couldn't see you right away, but she waited patiently, occasionally joining the conversation led by nayeon, but her focus was always on the door. jihyo shot up from her seat with an excited smile when the door opened for the nth time that hour and you finally walked in, fixing your hair.

"y/n/n!"

"jihyo unnie!" you greeted, heart beating wildly against your ribcage as you took the older girl into your arms.

you had to pull away, causing jihyo to pout, to hug your own members and the other twice members, staying a little longer with nayeon, mina, and tzuyu because they were the closest to you aside from jihyo.

"what took you so long?" nayeon playfully smacked your arm.

"i was with jinsol-ie." 

jihyo noticed your endearing nickname for the jung and her brow twitched unknowingly, causing a few of the other members to snort quietly. you were seated between the twice leader and resident penguin, assisting them in taking their seats.

yeji sent you a teasing smile and you returned it hesitantly. "was that really a schedule, unnie? or a date?"

your eyes widened at her claim, panicked eyes darting towards jihyo, whose ears were turning red in anger for reasons she didn't understand. even though you knew you had no chance, it felt like cheating on jihyo. as the other members turned to you in shock, you shook your head frantically, waving your hands.

"wait, you're dating jinsoul-ssi?" chaeyoung inquired.

"no, no, no! no way! we're not dating?!"

tzuyu glared at you from across the table. "and you didn't tell me?" 

"i thought we were friends, y/n/n." mina added.

you gently shook the penguin. "but we're not dating?! how am i supposed to tell you if i'm not even dating anyone?!"

you looked to your members for assistance, but they either ignored you, didn't notice, or didn't know you really weren't dating jinsoul.

"are you really not dating her?" chaeryeong asked.

you quickly shook your head, glancing at jihyo. she's been quiet since then, and as much as you wanted to console her for whatever reason had irritated her, you had to protect your and jinsoul's image. you like the girl, but not in that way.

yuna shrugged. "you look good together."

"i've seen the pictures online." momo added as jeongyeon smiled teasingly at you.

"she looks good." nayeon nodded in approval, but still gave you a look of betrayal.

your hair swished quickly from side to side, shaking your head for the nth time that night, you were close to getting nausea. "we're just friends."

sana leaned forward in her seat with a curious yet teasing smile. "then do you like her?"

before you could even deny it, there was a loud slam, and everyone flinched at the harsh sound. you turned to face jihyo, who had shot up from her seat, her head low and her hair forming a curtain around her face, obscuring her expression. but you knew she was mad because of the way her fists clenched.

"jihyo unnie—" you reached out, but she avoided your touch.

"i'll just be getting some fresh air."

you slumped back in your seat as you watched the older girl leave the restaurant. you expected the girls to be scared and worried, but you were surprised to see them look expectant, disbelieving, content, happy, and so on. what was more surprising was that it was directed at you, and you, dumbfounded, pointed at yourself.

"what? why are you staring at me like that?" you asked, your mouth agape.

"go, get her." dahyun smiled widely at you.

you pointed at yourself again for emphasis, trying to hide the pain spreading across your chest. "but she didn't even want me to touch her? what did i do?"

nayeon let out a sigh, not wanting to deal with your oblivious ass and jihyo's mini tantrums anymore. "sweet y/n, please do us all a favor and just go."

you were hesitant to leave, but the twice girls were encouraging you, tzuyu through her glare, and when you looked at your members, they raised their brows at you. so you had no choice but to leave, picking up the jacket jihyo had left and your scarf.

"be back, yeah? don't forget to thank us!"

you ignored jeongyeon, despite how confusing her statement was, and went to the parking lot where you saw jihyo go. you shivered from the cold and quickened your pace, concerned that jihyo had caught a cold by now. you noticed her behind their van and jogged over, seeing her raise her head and cast a sidelong glance at you.

you smiled warily and showed her the clothes, pausing briefly to let her decide if you could get closer. jihyo's heart melted at your respect for her and her space, and she nodded weakly while hugging herself. you stepped in front of her and threw the jacket over her shoulder, allowing her to wear it while you wrapped your scarf around her neck.

"everything okay?" you whispered quietly, brushing her hair she had previously messed up out of frustration.

jihyo remained silent while you waited. knowing her since your pre-debut days, you knew when she would gather her thoughts, which she was doing right now. you were patient, hands on top of her head, carefully fixing her hair.

"are you really dating jinsoul-ssi?"

you choked on air at her question, making jihyo glance up at you. when you saw her teary eyes, you held her face and furrowed your brows worriedly.

"no, i'm not. i'm not dating anyone right now. jindori and i are just friends, i swear. cross my heart." you even did the action after that and jihyo chuckled, smacking your stomach weakly. you smiled, feeling successful, but then you grimaced. "besides, she's dating jungeun. she'd kill me."

you both laughed again before falling silent. jihyo fiddled with her rings, a nervous habit, and you took them into your hands, your thumb caressing the back of her hands. jihyo smiled as she noticed the worried expression on your face.

"are you sure everything's okay?"

jihyo laughed. "yes, y/n/n, everything is fine."

you were about to nod, but when she spoke again, you paused. 

"now that i'm certain you're not dating anyone."

jihyo wasn't sure if you could feel her clammy palms or if that was just her imagination because she was so nervous right now. 

she was composed on stage. 

she was punctual when it came to her jam packed schedule. 

she can work under duress with little to no assistance from others. 

her heart, however, was beating wildly under your gaze right now, as if it were about to jump out of her throat. her legs were trembling, not just from the cold, but also from the way your eyes shifted back and forth between her eyes. her lips trembled as she yanked on your hand, not knowing what to say next.

you, on the other hand, were frozen. you couldn't think of anything to say because you were too busy replaying what she said and overthinking, which was something you were good at.

when you felt her tug on you and met her glossy eyes, you blinked. "you, uh, i need you to clear it up a bit? i don't want to get it wrong, and maybe i'm just being hopeful and stupid right now, so i, you, uh—"

you never imagined she'd say those words in all your years of friendship. you never imagined she'd feel the same way in the last few years. most importantly, you never imagined feeling jihyo's plump lips against yours right now. the cold wasn't ideal, but jihyo's lips were more than enough to make your face heat up.

as her hands came up to rest on your stomach, gripping your shirt to draw you closer, you closed your eyes, both hands on jihyo's face. although butterflies and the entire damn zoo made a noise in your stomach, that phrase wasn't enough to describe how giddy you were right now. your brain was short-circuiting, your hands trembling against her cheeks, and your heart was beating so loudly that jihyo could hear it.

you did, however, recall that you were in public. the restaurant was very private, but you can never be too sure. so you drew back, resting your brow on hers. jihyo opened her eyes after catching her breath and saw yours were still closed, but you were breathing steadily now.

"if you still need me to spell it out for you." 

jihyo waited for you to open your eyes, continuing when you did. jihyo could drown in your dreamy eyes and won't regret it; she'd gladly dive into it and drown all over again.

"i like you. i really do."

your ears tuned out everything else and focused on jihyo's words and lips, occasionally looking up at her as she continued her confession speech.

"i've been into you since you cried on my shoulders. when you found out you'd be the leader of itzy. i know it took me a while, years, to realize that i have these feelings for you. i don't like the idea of you dating jinsoul, and i especially didn't like the idea of you dating anyone other than me."

you opened your mouth to say something, but she shook her head and pressed her pointer finger against your lips. you stood there, heart racing, as she leaned in and stopped an inch from your lips.

"i like you. date me. be my girlfriend. be mine."

"i'm yours, jihyo."

jihyo closed the gap with your confirmation, and you relished her warmth and the way her lips caressed yours so softly, making sure you could feel all of her feelings for you.

she panted against your lips. "mine. all mine."

"yours, all yours."

"have you and y/n unnie kissed?"

minnie was startled by the maknae's question, and her entire body jerked in embarrassment, spilling the drink in her hand. fortunately, her quick but clumsy reflexes saved her as she moved the cup away from her, but a little more spilled onto the table and the floor.

"shuhua!" minnie scolded, a flush spreading across the thai's cheeks.

she got up from her seat and quickly went to get a towel to clean up the mess, using it as an excuse to avoid answering the question.

"what? i'm just saying!" shuhua yelled after the older girl, as yuqi joined them with a loud laugh that echoed throughout the dorm.

"no, but shuhua's right, unnie." yuqi agreed, watching minnie clean up and taking the towel from the tai when she was done. "you talk about anything and everything about your relationship, but we haven't heard a single kiss."

minnie averted her gaze, embarrassed to be having this conversation with the maknaes. miyeon and soyeon would have been more tolerable to talk to about this issue that has been bothering her for a long time. 

however, she was trapped with the maknaes and there was no one to save her. she knew she couldn't even if she tried because we're talking about yuqi and shuhua here.

they are extremely persuasive.

"we do kiss." minnie admitted and the maknaes could hear the hesitance in her voice, causing shuhua to raise her brow.

"is y/n unnie a bad kisser?"

yuqi cackled again at the question, and minnie gave herself whiplash with how quickly she turned around and reached over to smack shuhua. the youngest tried to flee, but when minnie's palm met her arm, she let out a dramatic pained sound.

"what are you on about?! i'm sure she's a good kisser!"

that got yuqi to stop as they both stared at minnie in disbelief, trying to process what minnie had just said. the thai blushed and turned away, finding the black television screen more interesting.

"you haven't kissed?!" yuqi's voice boomed, too shocked to control her volume.

"are cheek kisses acceptable?" minnie inquired.

yuqi shook her head quickly. "no way. you can kiss everyone on the cheek. what are you and unnie? friends?"

minnie pondered her statement, grimacing at the last word, which she did not like at all. "well, the extent is cheek and forehead kisses."

shuhua's mouth dropped open. "you've been together for what, three months?!"

minnie buried her face in her hands, becoming irritated at the thought. "i'm not sure if she wants to kiss me."

yuqi and shuhua looked at each other in disbelief, both thinking their unnie was so blind and oblivious. they've seen you staring at minnie, adoration in your eyes; even miyeon and siyeon were witnesses to it all the time, and if they were here, they'd back the maknaes up. 

not only that, but they had noticed how your gaze flitted down to her lips every now and then. if your simple admiration wasn't enough evidence that you wanted to kiss her, that action was.

however, you couldn't blame minnie for not noticing because she'd be so embarrassed by your gaze that her eyes would wander elsewhere. don't get her wrong, she enjoyed your attention; she was just extremely shy. so she didn't know how to talk to you about the kiss or how to act on her desires for your lovely lips.

"you're an idiot for thinking that, unnie." shuhua shook her head, making a face.

minnie took a peek at her. "what do you mean?"

"unnie, everyone would love to kiss you." yuqi emphasized, causing minnie to grimace and visibly shiver at the thought of someone else giving her a kiss.

"no, thank you. i'm fine."

minnie didn't want them. she wanted you.

"wait!" shuhua yelled, realization dawning at her. "if you haven't shared a lips-to-lips kiss, you haven't had s—?!"

realizing what shuhua was talking about, minnie's face burned as if it were on fire, and she jumped on the maknae, gripping her collar and shaking her back and forth to keep her from finishing her sentence.

"yeh shuhua, don't you dare!"

later that day, just before dinner, you stopped by the dorm to pick up your thai girlfriend. minnie ran out when she heard your car's familiar beep to escape the teasing from all of her members. yes, all of them, miyeon and soyeon had been dragged into the conversation once they arrived home.

minnie bolted out the door, her face lit up when she saw you standing next to the car in your work clothes.

you look hot.

when you saw minnie's reddened face up close, you were confused yet amused, but you didn't question it and simply hugged her tightly. minnie was relieved you didn't notice, or so she thought, because the cause of her red face was not just the girls' teasing, but your current outfit and overall appearance.

"hello, baby." you said, planting a small kiss on her head, which the girls saw just as they were leaving the dorm.

"hi, love. i missed you today." minnie murmured against your shoulder, but couldn't help but find the head kiss insufficient.

and your outfit was definitely not helping.

it was taking her mind elsewhere, so she buried herself in your embrace to get rid of it. meanwhile, you looked at the girls and waved, which they enthusiastically returned while also giving minnie a teasing look. you wonder what they were talking about that caused minnie to turn this color.

"take care, you two." soyeon said.

you gave her a small salute. "will do, soyeon-ah. see you soon!"

"bye, y/n unnie! minnie unnie!"

with one last goodbye wave, you assisted minnie inside the car before rounding the vehicle to take the driver's seat. minnie waved to the girls outside the window as you pulled out of the driveway, smiling as she sat back down in her seat.

"you're too cute, min. i missed you, too." you said, your gaze fixed on the road, so you didn't notice minnie's light blush, but you did hear her silent words of gratitude as she reached for your hand on the console. 

you smiled and intertwined your fingers, your thumb brushing across the back of her hand. you noticed her staring at your intertwined hands, but she didn't seem bothered by it. she just looked out of it, lost in thought.

so you let it slide, deciding to inquire about it later at home.

the rest of the drive home was quiet, but not tense or unpleasant. minnie would shift now and then, squeezing your hand for reassurance, which you would return, but nothing more.

when you arrived, you assisted her out of the car and into the safety of your shared home, while holding the bag of food in your other hand.

"do i need to fight anyone, my love?"

minnie turned to face you, taken aback by your sudden question, but the reassuring words were stuck in her throat as she was transfixed by what you were doing.

you were worriedly looking at her, one hand reaching down to place the bag of food on the coffee table, the other arm slipping out of the coat you were wearing. when she just stood there, staring at you, frozen in place, your brow furrowed even more. 

so you left the coat on the couch, leaving you in a white long sleeve before approaching the thai. you gently held her face, minnie leaning into your hand as she stared back at you.

"hey? you okay? is it the so-called fans? the hate? are they throwing hate at you or the other girls? tell me the names, i'll go fight them now."

minnie just watched your lips open and close, letting out reassuring words as you rambled on and on.

the way you looked at her, the way you were willing to fight for her members, the way your seemingly soft lips moved, the way you held her face and waist, the way you drew her closer.

everything.

minnie has fallen even deeper in love with you, and she finally let out a laugh while patting your upper arm.

"don't worry, we're not fighting anyone." minnie assured.

you sighed and nodded. "okay, good."

minnie opened her mouth, but quickly closed it again. she didn't know how to tell you. she wanted to, but her negative thoughts were taking over. what if you didn't want to kiss her? minnie looked like a fish to you as she opened her mouth only to close it again, her brow furrowed.

you waited patiently, coaxing her through it with your thumb caressing her cheek and your other hand running up and down her side, squeezing now and then.

"min-ah, it's just me. you can tell me anything, you know that right?" you whispered softly.

minnie gulped. "i know. i just…"

"here, come here."

you escorted minnie to the couch and assisted her in sitting. as you adjusted the plush pillows behind her, your hand rested on her thigh, caressing the skin. minnie was watching you nervously.

you were close.

she had you this close before, but her internal conflict caused her to panic. she could smell your familiar comforting perfume, as well as the shampoo you used this morning, and your face was focused as you fixed everything so she could feel the most comfort she deserved and needed.

suddenly, her hand shot out to grab your hand, causing you to come to a halt. because you were leaning over her to reach the pillows, she was now staring up at you.

"yes?"

"i…"

you sat back down, noticing minnie's shoulders sag or the look of disappointment on her face. you frowned and took the hand that was holding your wrist.

"i'm worried, minnie. what's the matter, baby?"

minnie took a breath and looked you in the eyes again, but this time there was determination and courage. the next few words she said had your eyes widening in surprise and a pink tint covering your cheeks.

"the girls were... asking as to whether or not we had kissed."

you panicked. what if the girls stopped liking you for their thai member? what if they get mad if you try to kiss her? 

of course you wanted to kiss her; she was your girlfriend, nicha yontararak. 

but what if—

minnie, seeing your shaky gaze, quickly tugged on your hand, forcing you to focus on her face. she, too, was blushing because the impending confrontation was embarrassing for her.

"calm down. the girls love you to death." 

that made you inhale a large amount of air, which made minnie laugh. at first, there was silence as you stared at each other. while you waited for your girlfriend to tell you more, minnie was waiting for you to realize what she meant. 

she didn't want to say it out loud, and she knew you were smart enough, but it was taking you a while because you were just staring at her. your mind processed the information slowly as you gazed at minnie's pretty face, which she blushed at because it was painfully obvious.

thankfully, you realized a solid minute later and your eyes widened, the pink across your cheeks becoming more prominent.

"you… want to kiss me?" you queried carefully.

minnie nodded, smiling shyly. "yes, i do. do you? it's okay if you don't want to—"

"are you crazy?!" you accidentally yelled and minnie stared at you, wide-eyed. you cleared your throat, squeezing her hand in assurance. "sorry. i mean, i do. i want to kiss you."

relief flooded through minnie and she finally let out a breath. "then why haven't you?"

you glanced elsewhere. "i'm… not sure if you want me to."

minnie chuckled. "you're crazy, too."

"i guess we both are."

you already knew why minnie hadn't kissed you yet; she was too shy. you knew this confrontation required a great deal of courage, so you were proud of her for telling you. then you remembered her red face and the girls' teasing grins back in the dorms. so that's why, you thought.

even so, there was still a nagging doubt in the back of your mind.

you shared a laugh and there was a pause before you managed to convince yourself to lean in. minnie held her breath as your face came to a halt an inch ahead of hers. she glanced down at your lips, gulping nervously, before her eyes bounced back to your eyes.

"may i?"

minnie's heart fluttered when you asked for her consent again, even though she had just told you about it. you always asked for it and she knew you'd never get tired inquiring about it, and minnie would also never stop giving you a 'yes.'

when she gave you a firm nod, you bridged the gap.

the kiss was hesitant at first because you were still figuring out what minnie liked and disliked. minnie's face was flushed as her lips moved slowly in sync with yours, eyes shut at the foreign yet comforting sensation. she couldn't focus on anything but your lips as the zoo in both of your stomachs were celebrating loudly. 

they were as soft as she had imagined.

you had kissed her, of course. on the cheeks, forehead, nose, hair, hand, and shoulders. but it was still strange in a good way and very different having your lips softly dance with hers.

minnie let you lead her, placing her hand on your nape as you pulled her closer. she felt your nose brush against hers as you tilted your hide to the other side, and the kiss went from hesitant to soft.

you were getting addicted. you were obsessed. but you wanted to make sure minnie was at ease and that this was going to be her best first kiss ever.

your lungs screamed for air, so you reluctantly pulled away from your girlfriend, the thai immediately chasing after your lips and stopping when you laughed quietly. your eyes were half-lidded as you watched minnie pant heavily, eyes closed and lips slightly ajar.

"so?" you whispered.

minnie opened her eyes and hummed, still in a daze, glancing at your grinning lips. "good, amazing. i love it."

"i love you." you whispered, taking her hand from your nape and bringing it to your lips.

"i love you, too." minnie replied.

waiting for minnie to catch her breath after the soft kiss, you gingerly pressed kisses across her hand while minnie watched you quietly. her heart was beating so hard and so fast in her chest that she was afraid you'd hear it or that it would jump out of her chest from giddiness.

as a way of comforting her, the hand placed on her thigh tapped continuously on her skin. minnie placed one hand on it, causing you to pause your ministrations and look at her. you smiled and drew her close. minnie followed your lead hesitantly, but stopped when she realized you were bringing her to your lap.

"are you sure?" minnie asked, blushing slightly.

you laughed. "as long as you don't mind, baby."

she sat down on your lap, and your hands were quick to grab her by the waist. your head rested on the couch as you gazed up at your beautiful thai girlfriend above you.

minnie, as shy as ever, hid her face behind one hand while holding onto your shoulder with the other, the blush on her face intensifying. with the way her entire body was heating up, she knew her neck was visibly red as well.

you raised one hand and wrapped your fingers around her wrist, pulling it away from her face and leading her down to your lips. you made her pause in front of you as your gaze swept across her face, memorizing her features and moles.

"may i?"

"please."

this time, minnie was the one to close the agonizing gap, but you were still the one leading the kiss. you let go of her wrist, returning your hand to her thigh while the other slid beneath her shirt to caress her skin. minnie jerked in response to your cold fingertips tentatively touching her skin, but she tilted her head to the side to assure you that everything was fine.

with minnie on top of you and the thai girl quickly becoming addicted to the taste of your lips, it was impossible for the kiss not to escalate.

the living room felt like it was hell because it was starting to get a bit too hot, with your skin heating up due to minnie's hesitant, slow, shy touches. minnie felt the same way, her mind racing from your tongue prodding at her lips and your cold fingertips dancing across her skin sending shivers up her spine.

she made a small sound of pleasure against your lips as your teeth sunk into her bottom lip, her grip tightening on your shoulders, her nails digging into your skin, leaving marks even through your clothes. you took pride in the noise, smirking in the kiss, before finally succumbing to your thoughts.

minnie felt you tug on her shirt and she pulled away, causing you to worry if you crossed the line, but the dazed look she gave you was more than enough to reassure you. 

"lead me. please."

MY NUMBER — kim chaewon

summary : you and chaewon meet for the first time at a restaurant. however, the waiter in charge of the group made a serious error and you were forced to intervene. she didn't get your phone number that night, but the label hosted a party to which you were invited.

pairing : chaewon x jung!reader

"unnie, we're here." 

chaewon woke up to kazuha nudging her and she grumbled in response, but she managed to climb out of the van with the help of sakura. the short-haired girl squinted at the bright sign, trying to read the name of the restaurant yunjin had discovered the day before.

le lieu royal.

"what does it mean?" the leader heard eunchae ask yunjin and the american was quick to respond, sounding excited. "the royal palace."

sounds really fancy, chaewon commended.

yunjin led the way inside, where a waiter led them to the table she had reserved for the group. the girls marveled at the restaurant's interior design: red and black were the dominant colors, with a hint of gold thrown in here and there.

"it looks really good here."  sakura commented as she adjusted her seat. kazuha nodded from beside yunjin, who flicked her hair back with a proud grin.

"how did you find this?" chaewon asked curiously.

"apparently, this restaurant is well-known among idols, particularly hybe artists. i just don't know how so." yunjin answered with a shrug.

the previous waiter reappeared, smiling as he handed them the menu. the girls thanked him, and he bowed before leaving to attend to other customers, who happened to be an artist. the girls' heads turned as eunchae's eyes widened and subtly pointed at a guy.

"isn't that jungkook sunbaenim?!"

the golden maknae, who appeared to have just returned from a schedule, was indeed sitting there. despite the fact that he was surrounded by his management team, his eyes seemed to be searching for someone.

reaching over, chaewon slapped eunchae's hand in panic before the bts member noticed them pointing at her, causing eunchae to yelp while holding her hand to her chest.

sakura patted her head as the leader smiled apologetically at her.

"sorry, i panicked." 

eunchae simply pouted but let it go, returning her gaze to the menu after one last look at the jeon jungkook.

the girls talked quietly, exchanging their thoughts on the food on the menu. yunjin mentioned some food recommendations she'd heard from other artists, which they decided to try and gave to the waiter when he came back to take their orders.

the girls quickly struck up a conversation, but chaewon was too preoccupied with scanning the restaurant. there were far too many artists, most of whom she knew by name and some by face.

her gaze returned to jungkook, who stood up. the moon shape of his eyes indicated that he was smiling behind the mask.

then you appeared, dressed both attractively and handsomely. a red hue appeared across her cheeks as she felt her cheeks burn up, realizing she was checking out the newly arrived girl. chaewon's heart skipped a beat when your eyes crinkled happily, but it was quickly crushed when jungkook took you into his arms.

"ooh, unnie found someone pretty." yunjin teased when she finally noticed the frozen girl.

chaewon snapped out of her daze. "huh? no, no. i didn't…" she denied it, but the flush on her cheeks and the way she threw a glance over her shoulders said otherwise.

the girls followed her line of sight just in time to see you pulling away from the guy and punching jungkook in response after he whispered something to you. chaewon frowned as he laughed, watching you glare up at him.

"oh, sunbae is talking to her." sakura said.

chaewon quickly shook her head. "i think she's his girlfriend. stop staring!"

yunjin looked at her friend in disbelief. you dressed as if you wanted to attract both men and women. even kazuha could see it. with one last wave from you, they watched you walked away from jungkook's table. they had no idea where you had gone, but you would never leave your partner hanging like that.

but chaewon was in denial and refused to admit it, insisting that you were already taken.

"maybe she's meeting someone else?" eunchae suggested.

chaewon turned around to see you gone, and jungkook was returning to his seat, but she shook her head to get rid of the image of you in her head, the way you carried yourself with such grace, or the way you pushed your hair off your shoulders, and the way—

"no. enough, that's enough. kim chaewon."

the girls watched in amusement as their leader gay panicked miserably, her anger issues showing as she clenched her fists on the table. yunjin crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat, shaking her head and looking at the other girls.

"she's hopeless." the american commented.

sakura laughed. "i think she's broken."

"how do we fix her?" kazuha asked, concerned, but eunchae shook her head. "she's beyond fixing, unnie."

the waiter then arrived and served them the food they had ordered. the sight of the food made their mouths water and the smell made their stomachs growl. at that, the girls exchanged surprised looks and pointed at each other, blaming one another.

"that was you?"

"what? no! i think it's yunjin."

"why me? maybe it's you?"

"i think it's zuha."

however, they couldn't tease each other any further because the waiter tripped while holding a glass of wine. because he was standing next to chaewon, the liquid was inadvertently thrown over the poor leader's lap.

chaewon pushed herself away from the table as she gasped at the coldness seeping through her. the other girls shot up from their seats, staring at the mess in front of them. the waiter apologized profusely, bowing repeatedly.

"i'm sorry! i'm so sorry! i apologize!"

"it's okay. hey, can you, uh, calm down now?" chaewon tried to calm down the panicking man because all the other customers were staring at them, not to mention they were all idols, and she was becoming even more embarrassed, but then a stern voice cut in.

"what's happening here?"

chaewon got goosebumps all over her body when she heard the voice, and the red flush of her cheeks returned when she turned her head and saw you standing in all your glory. chaewon's blush worsened as she watched you eye the mess and remove your blazer. she hadn't realized you were handing her the garment until kazuha took her hand and helped her take the blazer from you because you had broken her.

chaewon cleared her throat and let out a high-pitched thank you, causing the girls behind her to facepalm. the situation was stressing you out, but the flustered idol made it slightly better, so you gave her a quick smile before turning to the waiter who caused all of this commotion.

"you. let's talk." your stern voice returned and the guy followed you, his ears flushed with embarrassment. the other restaurant employees were bowing to the customers, with one man loudly apologizing for the inconvenience.

you walked past an elderly waitress, whispering something to her, and she nodded in response. they turned to the elderly woman who approached them as you passed through a door.

"ms. kim? kindly follow me."

chaewon did as she was told, her mind racing with the possibility that you knew her. the elder waitress had addressed her by her family name, so perhaps you recognized the idol or perhaps it was the old woman who knew her, but she wished it had been you.

click. chaewon jumped at the sound and turned around, only to realize they were in a restroom. chaewon nervously returned the elderly woman's gentle smile.

"apologies, ms. kim. the boss has gone to get you some extra clothes. she'll join us in a moment."

boss? chaewon blinked at her words. was it you? you're the boss of the restaurant? the elderly woman watched in amusement as chaewon processed her words. she knew that look, she'd seen it before. so she stood quietly with a smile.

the door clicked open and chaewon let out a small 'eep' as you entered the comfort room with your clothes hanging on your arms. the woman turned to leave, offering you two a bow, which you returned and chaewon hurried to do the same.

with a soft smile on your face, you finally faced chaewon. "i apologize for the inconvenience, ms. kim." you said as you extended your arm where your clothes hung.

ms. kim... ms. kim? so she knows who i am? oh my goodness. oh my god, chaewon panicked yet again. she stood there, frozen, staring at your lovely face. you were undeniably more attractive up close.

meanwhile, you waited patiently, confused as to why the idol was staring at you. is there something on my face? you wondered, briefly glancing at the mirror. there's none though? i hope there's none… maybe on the other side of my face?!

you were beginning to worry about your appearance in front of the beautiful idol. you didn't want to leave a bad impression, like she'd remember you because of the dirt you hadn't noticed on your face or something. aside from that, her stare was so intense that it made you nervous.

"uhm, ms. kim?"

chaewon didn't hear you, but she noticed your lips moving. you shifted your weight from one leg to the other, opting to wait for the idol to recover from whatever state she is in. am i that unbearable to speak to? the longer chaewon stared at you, the more attractive you became to her, but also the brighter your face turned.

it took her a while to come to, but once she did, she jumped and snatched your clothes before sprinting to the nearest open cubicle, which was right next to you two. in a panic, she swung the door open, almost hitting herself and you, but you dodged. you stared, perplexed, at the door she had slammed shut.

is she that mad? or i'm now unbearable to look at as well? shit. you faced the mirror, turning your head from side to side to check for something on your face.

fucking shit. what was that, chaewon? what in the world was that?

chaewon clutched the garments close to her chest, biting her lip to keep the frustrated squeal from escaping her throat. she buried her face in your clothes, red ears poking out from behind the curtain of her short hair, as the sweet scent of your perfume entered her nose.

just… what the hell, kim chaewon?

when the door opened, you looked up to see the idol finally dressed in your clothes, but you quickly averted your gaze, not wanting her to feel awkward. you quietly handed her a paper bag into which she placed her own clothing.

chaewon tried to catch your attention and apologize for her actions, even though she knew she'd just panic, but you refused.

"i know your night is probably ruined, but please do try to still eat." you started and the idol paid attention, watching you speak. "the food is good, i promise, and it's on the house."

chaewon's eyes widened at your statement and she shook her hands in the air, relieved, when you met her gaze. before she could say anything, you unconsciously grabbed her hand and shook your head.

"it's on us, ms. kim. please allow us to make it up to you and your members." 

chaewon couldn't say no to you, so she sighed and nodded. she looked at your clasped hands and you quickly let go, causing disappointment to bloom in her chest. she consoled herself by resting one hand on her arm.

"thank you."

"of course, ms. kim. apologies again. shall we?"

you led chaewon back to their table and gave them a deep bow, which they returned before you left. the girls looked at chaewon, who groaned and buried her face in her hands.

chaewon would scan the restaurant for you all night, but you had hidden in the office. even then, she hoped you'd come out. the leader told her members what happened, which they should have expected, but they were disappointed to hear the story.

"you should've asked for her number." sakura sighed.

chaewon was perplexed. "she's jungkook sunbaenim's girlfriend!" she hissed to the oldest girl.

"unnie, she wouldn't go out of her way like that if she really is sunbae's girlfriend." yunjin pointed out.

kazuha nodded along. "that's true. sunbaenim didn't even care when your… crush disappeared into the restroom for fifteen minutes or so."

"she's exaggerating, but she's right!" eunchae agreed, a bit weirded out by the way kazuha worded that, but still agreed.

chaewon furrowed her brows. "but she's the boss. shouldn't she be naturally concerned about her customers?"

sakura was so done with her. "if i were a boss, i wouldn't care." sakura was lying, she'd care, but not like that.

chaewon remained silent while poking at her food. the girls sighed before changing the subject and yunjin was the one who led the conversation about food. when they were finished eating, the same elderly woman led them out the door with a bow. chaewon stood stiffly in front of her as the girls thanked her and returned the gesture.

"yes, dear?"

chaewon took a deep breath. "uhm, could you please thank her? i appreciate her concern."

the woman nodded, her lips pulling up into a soft smile. "of course, my dear. anything else?"

when the idol opened her mouth, the words "her number" almost slipped off her tongue, and the old lady wished chaewon would just say it because watching you two act like little children was painful. even though she was smiling the entire time, an imaginary irk was already on her brow.

chaewon, however, shook her head, overcome by the fear that you were really jungkook's girlfriend, and held her tongue. so instead, she shook her head, and chaewon entered the van, staring at the restaurant until it was no longer visible. the short-haired girl slumped against her seat, disappointed at not getting your number.

"...was what she said."

you were sitting on the couch, the red flush on your face forcing you to hide it in your hands. the old lady was amused by your reaction and chuckled lightly, despite wanting to smack you for being a chicken, as the door opened and jungkook stepped in, raising his brows at your flustered state.

"you good there, saeng?"

you shook your head. "no, she was too pretty."

jungkook huffed out a laugh. "chaewon, huh?"

you hummed and faced the guy after composing yourself and rolled your eyes at the grin on his face. "get that stupid grin off your face please."

"you like her~"

"shut up please."

you never left chaewon's mind after that night. you afflicted her as if you were a virus and she was the odd willing recipient. the girl wanted to return to the restaurant and maybe ask for your phone number this time. however, she was still unsure whether you were jungkook's girlfriend or not. besides, her schedule was already jam-packed and she didn't know how to fit her own desires in.

days passed and chaewon found herself thinking of you even while at a party, more specifically, a get-together party hosted by the label. almost every artist under the label was present, but everyone kept an eye out for the idols below eighteen years old and kept them away from the alcoholic beverages. the leaders also checked the clock from time to time to see if the minors should go home.

it'd be really funny if she's here as jungkook sunbae's date, chaewon thought bitterly and drank the drink in her hand to hide her less than pleased expression behind the glass.

"hobi's here!"

chaewon ignored what was going on behind her, but the girls were on pins and needles trying to figure out what was so exciting that had their seniors running over to hoseok, who had just arrived.

then their eyes widened as they reached for chaewon and smacked her repeatedly. the leader cursed and narrowed her eyes at her members, who only pointed to the door. she turned around, puzzled, and her jaw dropped at the sight.

you were clinging to hoseok's arm, laughing at the bangtan boys' antics as they hyped you up. you wore a dress and tied your hair, exposing your neck and ears, which were adorned with jewels and earrings.

"ah, hoseok's little sister?"

"yeah, she owns le lieu royal, you know?"

"ooh! right! i remember!"

as she watched you whisper in hoseok's ears, the familiar flush returned to her cheeks. hoseok sunbaenim's little sister? the main dancer gave you a small nod and you walked away, heading for the drinks.

chaewon felt a push on her back and she walked mindlessly towards you. 

whoever that was, thank you. if you hadn't pushed her, she would've stayed standing there.

her steps were hesitant and slow, but she wanted to seize the opportunity. it had to have meant something, right? she had predicted your presence and arrival, chaewon hoped.

she came to a halt right behind you and heard you thanking the waiter before turning around, eyes widening at the sight of the le sserafim's leader standing there silently.

"ms. kim…?"

the short-haired girl huffed at your formality. "chaewon. call me chaewon please."

you blinked, but smiled gently at her. "then call me y/n."

"you're…?" chaewon didn't know how to ask you, but you assumed she was talking about hoseok.

"hobi oppa's sister? yes, i am."

but chaewon shook her head, which confused you. "no, no. i got that. but, like, are you…"

you waited for her to finish her question, but all she did was stare helplessly into your eyes, captivated by your face. but then jungkook appeared out of nowhere, a teasing grin on his face. you reached out to shut him up, but he simply dodged your hand.

"yes, she's single." jungkook said, causing the both of you to blush. he left, but turned back around to yell at chaewon. "and hopelessly in love with you!"

chaewon looked up at you, slightly embarrassed, with questioning eyes, but you avoided her gaze. you were blushing, hard, and you tried to hide it by sipping your drink.

chaewon laughed because she thought you were cute. she wasn't sure if that was the real reason, or if she was relieved you were single and interested in her as well. all of the above perhaps. you tilted your head in admiration as you watched the girl.

"i'm sorry for acting that way." chaewon said quietly, but you could hear her over the music.

you made a humming sound. "it's all right. have i made you uncomfortable?"

chaewon shook her head quickly. "no, no, you made me feel... safe."

chaewon smiled, biting her lower lip to keep it from spreading further as your shoulders bounced in shock and excitement. relief flooded you and your previous fears and hesitance disappeared.

you grinned. "i'm glad."

a slow song started playing and you looked over to see taehyung by the dj's area, wiggling his brows at you. you rolled your eyes at him before returning your attention to chaewon, who had extended her hand to you.

chaewon was glad she wore the suit tonight.

"shall we dance, ms. jung?" chaewon asked with a crooked smile.

you laughed and gave her your hand. "we shall, ms. kim."

despite being taller than her due to your heels, she drew you in by the waist and you wrapped your arms around her shoulders.

"you look stunning." chaewon tilted her head to catch your gaze when you had avoided her gaze after her unexpected compliment. "y/n/n, stop avoiding my gaze."

you laughed. "sorry, chaewon-ie."

then she remembered something. "your clothes, they're at the dorm."

you hummed and she felt you play with the baby hairs at the back of her nape, lightly tickling her. "it's fine, you can keep it."

chaewon flushed and gave you a look as if to ask if you were sure. you simply laughed and nodded, causing her to smile back.

you stayed with chaewon for the rest of the night. you danced with her, talked with her, joked with her, and shared your interests with her. chaewon wore this lovestruck expression the entire night, her members from afar playfully gagged, and stared at you with heart eyes, eyes bouncing all over your face to memorize your features.

chaewon had memorized every single one of your habits as well: how you'd duck your head to hide your blushing face or avoid her gaze when she complimented you out of nowhere, how you'd grab her arm to steady yourself as you laughed at seungkwan's antics when you found him in the middle of the room.

when hoseok took the dance floor, you cheered him on, and chaewon, who should have been watching him, found herself staring at you instead. chaewon noticed how your eyes turned moon-shaped when you smiled, how your voice stood out among the other people shouting, how you swayed to the music, and how you approached hoseok after to give him a big hug. chaewon adored all of it and all of you already.

the night seemed long, but it was also short, and before you knew it, it was time to part ways. it was past curfew and eunchae had to go back to the dorm, which meant chaewon and her other members had to as well.

"i have to go." chaewon pouted sadly.

you smiled at her cuteness and reached out to hold her cheek. "that's okay. i'll take you out on a date when you're free if that's okay with you."

chaewon eagerly nodded and moved closer to you, wrapping her arms around you. you returned her hug, eyes closing at the warmth, and took a few seconds to separate. 

chaewon would've stayed there in your arms and warm embrace, but she had duties so she begrudgingly pulled away. you watched as chaewon turned to leave, only to turn around and walk backwards.

"bye?" she called out in hesitance, waving her fingers.

you smiled. "you're forgetting something."

chaewon came to a halt, furrowed her brows, and tilted her head. you chuckled and approached her. you took her hand and placed a piece of paper on her palm before making a fist with it. then you grabbed her necktie and planted a shy, hesitant kiss on her cheek.

"my number." you said, pointing to the pink lipstick stain on her cheek. "as well as that."

you left her there, staring at you with a surprised expression. her members inside the van were cheering so loud you could hear them and you giggled into your fist. chaewon's face had turned bright red and goosebumps had risen all over her skin. she watched you walk past the bts members, who were all beaming, especially hoseok, pushing the maknae line off you when they tried to tease you.

chaewon dashed to the van after she was done processing and gay panicking, squealing loudly as the door closed. the members laughed at her as she stared at the paper with your number written on it, but she didn't mind the teasing that was about to come her way.

meanwhile, hoseok sighed contentedly. "ah, my baby sister is growing up. i'm so proud of her."

hi?

ms. kim?

chaewon giggled, typing out her reply. 

yes, ms. jung.

take care, okay? good night!

you, too.

chaewon slumped back against her seat once more, clutching her phone to her chest. the only difference was that she finally got your number this time and was on cloud nine.

nikko note: i'm not really proud of this one, but i find it a tiny bit cute. thank you for the request! i was kinda pressured and worried when i received one hehe. thank you for trusting me with your request, but feel free to request if you're not satisfied with it TT hope you enjoyed it! thank you!

you stared at the message that flashed across your phone screen minutes ago, sent by a family member who supported your journey with the group, as you sat in the living room with some of your members. it was an article about one of your members, jiwoo, to be specific, and your eyes scanned the seemingly incomprehensible sentences of the statement.

you just stared at it in silence, your head trying to catch up with the news and your millions of panicked thoughts, but your brain refused to accept the information until you heard a pair of feet padding around the corner and looked up just in time for the maknae to appear.

"is it true?" yeojin sobbed, her voice breaking as she stared at you through misty eyes that screamed denial at the news that had just reached you.

you avoided her gaze, unsure how to respond to her question because you were still trying to wrap your head around it. your gaze returned to your phone, and you scanned the article's headline for the nth time in the previous ten minutes.

breaking: loona's agency announces chuu's removal from the group

you close your eyes, feeling your heart break as a result of yeojin's cry.

"jiwoo unnie is leaving us?"

you tuned out the rest of the conversation, which was just the older members trying to take control of the situation and care for the younger ones because haseul hadn't returned home yet, both kahei and hyunjin were on their respective schedules, and no one knew where jiwoo was at the moment.

"that's not fucking true." 

because of sooyoung's outburst, you opened your eyes and met hyeju's blank eyes, which mirrored yours, before averting your gaze to sooyoung, who had been silent for the past few minutes and was just glaring holes into her phone screen.

"there's no fucking way jiwoo would do that." she seethed.

"haseul unnie is not answering her phone." jinsol murmured, taking the phone away from her ear to quickly text haseul before trying again. she looked at yerim, trying to stop her sobs, and wrapped her arm around the younger girl, allowing her to cry into her shoulder.

"same with jiwoo, cannot be reached." in frustration, jungeun almost threw the phone away, but she managed to keep her cool despite the mounting tears.

you couldn't take the pain any longer, so you got up and left, not looking back even when heejin summoned you with a pleading tone in her voice.

"y/n unnie. unnie, please."

however, you did not listen and walked down the corridor, causing the girl to sigh sadly.

hyeju remained silent in her seat as she watched you walk away; even when you disappeared into your room, which you shared with kahei, jungeun, heejin, and chaewon. she just stared at the spot you were previously at. 

her body was itching to move, to follow you. 

her brain yelled at her to get up and move.

however, she couldn't.

everyone knew you and your coping mechanisms in situations like this, when you felt suffocated and trapped. you isolate yourself.

hyeju wanted to join you, but after seeing how you refused to even be in the same room as them and ignored heejin's call, she sat back down.

haseul soon returned with teary eyes, and she burst into tears when she saw her members crying together in the living room, causing another wave of tears from everyone. some of the members tried to console everyone who was crying, but they teared up with them and looked away. 

meanwhile, you were curled up in bed, hugging the animal plushie jiwoo had given you, your jaw clenched as you heard the cries from the living room. you closed your eyes, blocking the noise with pillows, which did nothing, but sleep found its way to you, and you were soon drifting off, your mind filled with thoughts of jiwoo leaving the group.

"is she still not out yet?" 

night arrived, jiwoo had not yet returned, and you had not left the room, even locking your roommates out. haseul tried to coax you out earlier after arriving and explaining the situation to the others, but she got no response.

sooyoung and jungeun also tried, the latter cursing you for locking them out, which you heard but knew was a joke and her attempt to get you to unlock the door. however, it also did not work.

it was now kahei's turn. when she got home, she didn't even look at her members because she was focused on getting you out of the room. it took a long time, and everyone waited in anticipation, with hyeju staring intently into the corridor as if her gaze would be enough to call you back.

the oldest, like the others, returned with a worried frown. she shook her head at haseul, then looked at hyunjin, who was leaning on heejin for support.

hyeju clicked her tongue, cursing your stubborn nature. "she's not going to."

haseul sighed. "she hasn't had her lunch or dinner yet."

hyeju frowned as she looked at the food on the table, her worry growing as she stared at it. despite being younger, she cared for you. hyeju cast another glance down the corridor, wishing you would just leave your room. her body moved an inch, but she managed to shake herself out of it just as she was about to get out of her seat.

however, the elbow digging into her side made her jump, and she turned to chaewon with an annoyed frown, which chaewon returned with her own. the girl had been watching hyeju's internal conflict the entire time, watching her tense eyes move back and forth between the corridor, the table, and her palms.

"go." chaewon nudged her head in the direction of your room, and hyeju took a brief glance before shaking her head.

"unnie wants to be alone."

the other girl gave her another irritated look. "the look you two shared earlier says otherwise."

hyeju shook her head and averted her gaze, your guarded expression and helpless eyes from earlier when you made eye contact flashing through her mind. "i don't know what you're talking about."

pausing, they turned to yerim when she spoke, sniffling quietly. "we shouldn't force y/n unnie. she's… quite scary."

hyunjin shook her head. "but we need unnie right now."

chaewon leaned into hyeju while the others started to argue, causing the other girl to instinctively lean away from her. chaewon didn't mind, simply raising a brow at hyeju, who frowned.

"look, if anyone can get past unnie's cold and guarded exterior, it's you." chaewon tried to persuade the younger girl, and jinsol next to them nodded, but they were both too preoccupied with the situation to notice her. "jiwoo unnie can do it as well, considering they're best friends, but that's extremely rare."

hyeju remained silent as she processed chaewon's words, but she was taking too long, and chaewon's patience was running thin.

they needed you, and someone has to get you out of there.

chaewon's hand found hyeju's shoulder, and hyeju felt the arm against her lower back. hyeju tensed up and turned to glare at chaewon, but the girl beat her to it and pushed her out of her seat.

when she felt herself being pushed out of her seat, hyeju had to play it off in front of the others to avoid embarrassment, silently walking past them and sending chaewon one last look. chaewon simply smiled sarcastically at her, proud of what she had accomplished, and watched as hyeju walked down the corridor.

"hyeju's gonna try?" sooyung inquired, thumbs too busy typing yet another message to jiwoo. yeojin stood nearby, trying to peek over to read the lengthy message.

chaewon nodded and haseul sighed, worry written all over the leader's face. "i hope she can do it."

hyeju stood there, her fist raised to knock on the door, but hesitations took precedence, so she just stood there. she stared at the door, expecting it to open magically, but it didn't. she sighed in frustration and turned to leave before your voice from within made her freeze, shoulders rising to show the tension.

"hyeju."

hyeju's gaze returned to the door, her face flushed with embarrassment that she tried to hide with her usual poker face. hyeju knew if you saw her right now, you'd notice she was embarrassed, but that didn't mean she wouldn't try to hide the flush across her cheeks. hyeju heard the door unlock, and luckily for her, you didn't open it, giving her time to gather her thoughts.

"come in."

hyeju did as she was told, relieved that you weren't pushing her away like you do with the members. she stood in the doorway, staring at you as you sat on your bed, a deep frown on your face. 

when you two fell silent, you looked at the tense girl, who jumped slightly when your gaze landed on her, putting on a brave face despite the flush creeping up her neck. despite being amused, you couldn't bring yourself to laugh at her and instead patted the space next to you.

"don't just stand there, idiot."

hyeju clicked her tongue. "who are you calling an idiot, huh?"

despite her grumbled response, the younger girl approached you and sat down next to you, shoulders tense and arms crossed in front of her chest.

"you. who else?" you quipped.

the girl glared at you. "between us, you're the idiot."

"sure, hyeju. sure."

hyeju kept staring at you as you pretended to be unconcerned. she noticed how your seemingly blank eyes scanned the room as if for the first time, but hyeju knew it was a habit you'd developed over time. it meant you were attempting to postpone and, hopefully, avoid the upcoming confrontation or conversation she was about to spring on you.

her gaze was drawn to your clasped hands in your lap, your thumb running over the back of your hand, your nail lightly scratching the reddening skin. it meant that you were anxious the entire time you were locked inside the room, despite the cold mask you were wearing.

her gaze returned to your face, and her brow furrowed and nose scrunched at the same time as yours. hyeju knew you found something really repulsive just by that action, so she followed your gaze and saw the animal plushie.

"i thought you loved that plushie?" hyeju queried, knowing jiwoo gave it to you.

you huffed. "i do."

"then why are you glaring at it?"

you noticed her carefully staring at your side profile, attempting to read you. if hyeju was difficult to read, you were even more difficult to crack. despite knowing all of your habits, hyeju found it hard to read you.

you shook your head. "i wasn't."

hyeju gave you a look and merely pointed at your brow. "your brow just twitched."

"and?" you urged, raising the mentioned brow at her.

she blinked. "you're lying."

"i'm not." you huffed and your brow twitched again, causing hyeju to point it out.

"your brow twitched."

you sighed, annoyance in your tone, and hyeju just stared at you, not even slightly offended because she knew you were irritated by the fact that she could read you this time, not with her specifically.

"what do you want, hyeju?" you asked, your facade gradually melting away. 

you avoided her calculating gaze, and maybe it was just your imagination, but you noticed a hint of softness swirling in her orbs. 

"i don't wanna go back out there just yet."

"i was not going to force you." hyeju said, shrugging.

you shared a brief glance. "then what are you doing here?"

it was hyeju's turn to look away, her face flushed with embarrassment. the words were on the tip of her tongue, and they plagued her mind, but she couldn't say them in front of you because she knew you'd tease her.

i wanted to be here with you.

so she swallowed the words and replaced them with her own remark to lightly tease you.

"the unnies told me to check on you. i didn't want to, but they threatened me."

when you went silent, hyeju took a look at you but quickly turned away when she saw your intense orbs. you watched the redness on her face worsen, but you didn't say anything and exhaled. you knew she was lying though. if the redness of her face wasn't enough proof, the way her eyes shook when they met yours was.

"what do we do?" hyeju asked after a moment of silence, trying to get you to open up.

you hummed, glancing at the plushie. "i don't know. i'm not sure."

"and how are you feeling?"

hyeju was met with silence, but she knew you were just gathering your thoughts, so she waited for your response, if you were going to respond at all. either way, she wouldn't mind and would stay with you, sitting next to you to offer you the support you desperately needed.

"nothing."

hyeju looked at you, watching your hair get in the way as you shook your head, hiding your misty eyes behind a curtain of strands.

"i feel nothing."

hyeju acknowledged you with a hum and reached out. her fingertips touched your skin, making you tense and her pause as she waited for you to push her away. when you remained silent, hyeju tucked your hair behind your ear and frowned as she finally caught sight of your eyes.

"i'm not gonna say we're gonna be okay because we both know that's bullshit." hyeju murmured, triumphantly smiling as she noticed the slight and quick upturn of the corner of your lips after hearing her curse. "but i'm…"

you looked at her, your ears perking up as she trailed off, and you saw hesitation written all over her face. hyeju scrunched her nose in disapproval as she prepared to finish her sentence, and you simply smiled, imagining the internal conflict going on in her head.

you weren't prepared, though, because her words came out faster than you expected.

"but i'm here for you."

you and hyeju exchanged glances, yours filled with surprise and hers with embarrassment. hyeju glared at you as you blinked, trying to process her words. when you did, you turned away because it was your turn to turn red, the color crawling up your neck and across your nose. hyeju couldn't see it because you had turned completely away from her, but she watched you as you scooted closer to her, still refusing to look at her.

"what are you—?"

when she felt your head land on her shoulders, her entire body tensed. her heart flipped in her chest, and her face turned even redder than it had been. you were also quiet, waiting for the younger girl to calm down before speaking.

"i can't stay."

hyeju opened her mouth to speak, brow furrowed, to say something in response to your statement, but you squeezed her thigh, preventing the refusal from spilling out.

"the company is shit and jiwoo's leaving. i love you and the girls, but if jiwoo won't be here, what is the point?"

hyeju remained silent to consider your words, shaky panicked eyes darting all over the place in panic before settling on your hand, where you had begun picking at your skin as you awaited her response. the younger girl, irritated, put her hand over your clasped hands, causing you to freeze.

"stop that." hyeju grumbled, causing you to huff.

"i'm trying, but it's a habit."

hyeju felt your finger move to poke your skin as you replied, so she took your right hand and pulled it over to her lap, intertwining your fingers. you blinked as you watched her stroke the red skin with her thumb, a red hue appearing across your face.

"if you're leaving, i'm leaving."

you hummed. "really?"

hyeju nodded, squeezing your hand. i have no reason to stay if you're leaving. she refused to say it aloud. however, she tensed up when she heard a small chuckle from you.

"is that so?"

"shut up." hyeju grumbled.

hyeju missed your warmth as you sat up properly, but thankfully you didn't pull your hand back and let the younger girl trace your soft skin. hyeju watched, eyes twinkling ever so slightly, as you laughed lightly in delight. 

when your gaze met hers, hyeju didn't see the usual blank expression or glare. she could only see you right now. therewas no mask, disguise, or act. hyeju could see sadness swirling in your orbs as you remembered jiwoo, as well as fear at the prospect of leaving the spotlight and the girls, but relief at her presence in the room.

hyeju was able to read you. hyeju could see it.

and so she flushed. 

she watched silently as you leaned in to plant a small kiss on her cheek, your cold demeanor melting away right in front of her, and squeezed her hand.

"thank you, hyeju."

hyeju looked away, humming in response. "of course, unnie."

you both heard a knock on the door and turned around, hyeju glancing discreetly at you and noticing your cold mask was back on. she couldn't help but be disappointed, loving the smile on your face earlier, but was also relieved she was the only one who saw it.

haseul's worried gaze met yours, as did kahei's soft smile, her gaze fixed on your intertwined hands. you followed her gaze and squeezed hyeju's hand before standing up and dragging her along with you.

"you ready to talk, y/n/n?"

you nodded. "yes, unnie."

kahei gave a soft smile. "alright, let's go. you need to eat, too."

as you made your way back to the living room, you glanced at hyeju and gave her hand another squeeze to make her look at you. hyeju raised her brows, her gaze falling on your lips as you mouthed her some words.

"thank you."

in response, the younger girl nodded. hyeju drew you in closer, silently promising that she would go with you anywhere. even if it meant leaving idol life, she'd be content as long as she could be with you.

you were aware of this, and you would make certain that hyeju, along with the girls, could escape the company with you.

besides, she's not going to let you go just yet.

hyeju still has something to tell you.

she must confess her feelings to you or they will haunt her for the rest of her life.

however, for the time being, her priority would be jiwoo and leaving the company with you.

FOR ME, FOR YOU — cho miyeon

summary : miyeon thought you liked minnie and you thought miyeon and minnie liked each other. that was not the case, as it turned out.

pairing : miyeon x barista!reader

requested: ✔ 

word count : 3.5k

you peered through the window, scanning the people inside, and they gave you friendly looks despite the fact that they were in the middle of a discussion. this was not your first visit to their classroom; it was the nth time and you were already acquainted with them. you returned their smiles and then noticed miyeon and minnie waving at you. you waved your fingers before backing up against the opposite wall to wait.

this was your routine: whenever you had a free period, you'd pick up miyeon and minnie, who were always together because they were blockmates. when miyeon had free time, she would wait with her friends. she wanted to pick you up, but you insisted on making her wait with her friends because you didn't want her to be kept waiting for too long.

"you're staring."

miyeon, who had been staring at you from her seat, jumped in surprise and turned to face the grinning thai. miyeon opened her mouth to deny it, but minnie raised her brows. as her best friend—well, other best friend because you were the best friend—the thai knew better than that.

miyeon returned her gaze to the professor, but couldn't help but glance back at you. even from a distance, you look amazing in that uniform. how could she not look at you? minnie caught the look miyeon threw at you and giggled into her palm, causing miyeon's cheeks to flush. minnie couldn't tease her any further because the professor had spoken up again, the only words they both understood the entire class.

"class dismissed."

at that, miyeon shot up from her seat and bolted, leaving the cackling thai behind. you looked up from your phone as the door swung open, revealing a red-faced miyeon.

"you okay there?" you asked, confused.

miyeon nodded, giving you a smile that vanished when minnie walked out the door while laughing loudly. when she looked at the thai, her blush intensified, causing you to raise your brow at the scene before you. 

huh? are they…? 

you remained silent as you watched them smack each other, but your gaze lingered more on miyeon. you could hear and feel your heart breaking as it fell. pathetic. you scoffed quietly and turned away, but miyeon heard and pushed minnie off of her, clinging to your arm.

"come on, the girls must be waiting."

however, on the way out, miyeon wondered why you made that noise and took a look at you, but you were avoiding her gaze. you stared ahead, remaining silent, and only responded to minnie when she spoke directly to you. does she like minnie? miyeon furrowed her brows at the thought and averted her gaze to the floor. 

minnie turned around after hearing no response to see you two avoiding each other, but miyeon still had her hand wrapped around your arm. the thai, as innocent as ever, shrugged and led the way out quietly.

you met up with the other girls and walked home. yuqi and shuhua immediately began ranting about that one annoying professor, but they chastised you three for your tardiness. you simply raised your brow at shuhua, who was glaring at you after turning around, and you poked her side, causing her to jump away from your touch.

miyeon, who was watching the interaction from the corner of her eye, unconsciously pulled you closer to her. you tried to ignore the way your heartbeat sped up in response to the action as you cast a glance at her, but she was busy talking to soyeon.

it didn't take long for miyeon to notice you were quiet, perhaps too quiet. you could be loud and quiet when you wanted to, but you weren't speaking at all right now. so she dropped her conversation with soyeon and bumped her hips with you, drawing your attention from the cars passing by.

"a penny for your thoughts?" miyeon teased.

you chuckled. "my thoughts are worth more than a penny."

miyeon was relieved to hear that sound erupting from your throat; even if it was strained, she had succeeded in making you laugh. miyeon pouted up at you and your face flushed at her cute expression, eyes darting down her lips. miyeon didn't miss it, but she pretended to, telling herself it was just an illusion created by her mind to compensate for the lack of interaction between you two.

"for me?"

you flicked her forehead, causing the girl to yelp. you averted your gaze, a flush on your cheeks, and cleared your throat to compose yourself. "for you."

the firm tone made miyeon's pout bigger, but you merely laughed. she pulled away from you and crossed her arms after smacking your arm, causing you to flinch away from her while holding your injured arm.

"ow, what the hell?" you blinked at the still pouting girl, but she looked away. "that's for not telling me."

you watched her for a moment, watching her sulk, thinking the girl was absolutely adorable. she was supposed to be the oldest, so why is she behaving like a child? you laughed and put your arm around her shoulders.

"come on now, stop pouting." you assured and she looked at you, and the pout still present caused you to sigh. "it's nothing, okay? just my backlogs."

miyeon grimaced at the mention of it, and you laughed, knowing she had hers as well, if not more than you. "don't ever mention it again."

"alright. i won't, i won't."

the girls gradually separated as they arrived at their respective homes; shuhua was the first to be dropped off, followed by soyeon and yuqi, until it was just you and miyeon. you walked in silence this time and miyeon didn't mind because she was content with the feel of your arm around her.

when you looked at her, she was already looking, and both of you turned your heads away, blushing profusely. but because you were both focused on something else, you both missed it.

when you arrived at her house, miyeon seemed reluctant to let you go, so you pulled away first. "i'll see you tomorrow?"

despite the loss of your familiar warmth, miyeon nodded. "let's work on our backlogs together?" she suggested, but she was afraid you'd say no even though she knew you wouldn't.

so she was relieved when you gave her a nod, giddy as well. you moved closer to her, wrapping her in an embrace that she eagerly returned. you both enjoyed each other's warmth, but before you decided to stay in her arms, you pulled away, missing the disappointment on her face once more, and bid her one last goodbye before walking away.

it was miyeon's turn to have the free period the next day, and she decided to pick you up this time. she was aware that you would scold her, but she was too excited for your "backlog-catch up," as you called it. the girls tagged along because they had nothing better to do, teasing their poor friend about the fact that it was a date.

"did you just ask y/n unnie out on a date?" soyeon, surprisingly enough, was the one to open the topic.

miyeon almost gave herself whiplash as she turned to face soyeon, who was grinning, and shook her head frantically. yuqi's eyes lit up from next to her, and she knew she was doomed to be the target of the teasing for the next few days.

"no way! did unnie really?" yuqi turned to soyeon and received a nod, causing the chinese to squeal and shake miyeon, who kept flailing her arms in the air. "no, no! it's not a date!"

minnie ooh'ed. "miyeon got some rizz~!"

"i'm surprised y/n unnie got the message at all." even if you weren't there, shuhua sassed you, implying that you were an idiot. yes, the pale girl claims to despise you, but that is her love language.

miyeon gave her a disapproving look, not liking the implication of her sassy remark for you. shuhua ignored the older girl and pointed to your classmates, who were already leaving the room. miyeon decided to leave the pale girl alone for the time being, yuqi leaning over to tell shuhua how protective miyeon is of you, and went to the now-open door, spilling your classmates. 

when she didn't see you, she frowned. she was about to ask one of your classmates, but then she realized what day it was.

miyeon turned around and the girls questioned her because they didn't see you appear over her shoulders like you usually do. 

the eldest offered an apologetic smile. "well, it seems that y/n/n is at work right now."

miyeon began leading them outside and the girls followed her like lost puppies. "i forgot she had work today and she must've forgotten as well because she carelessly agreed to my offer." miyeon explained before shuhua could sass you again, in which she sent a look towards the pale girl, making her mutter in disagreement.

miyeon, being the sweetheart that she is, tried not to show her displeasure with the situation, but the girls saw right through her.

"pay her a visit." minnie said and shrugged when miyeon looked at her. "just a suggestion."

that's how miyeon ended up in front of the coffee shop where you work. she tried to refuse the girls', minnie's, suggestion, but the others claimed it as theirs as well, and she went to walk home, but they teamed up on her and dragged her there.

there's no way my ship isn't going to sail, everyone thought, including shuhua. she might hate your ass, but you're the best of miyeon's admirers, who were mostly men, which is why she prefers you.

she peered inside and saw you right away, a smile on her face as she watched you crouching down to hand a tissue to a small child. she laughed as she watched you wave back to the child before returning around the counter. you had a bright smile on your face, despite being stressed out because thursday is a busy day for the coffee shop for unknown reasons, and she still thought you were pretty.

she then noticed your coworker nudging you, whispering something in your ear, and pointing at her. miyeon panicked when you looked at her and almost ran away, but she complied after you waved her in.

the sweet aroma of coffee welcomed her, and the sound of people chattering in the background entered her ears, the coffee machines behind you making noise as your coworkers manipulated them.

"hey." you greeted as you leaned against the counter to match her height, looking pretty apologetic. "sorry, i forgot it's thursday. when you asked, i thought it was still tuesday, so i agreed. i couldn't tell you because i needed to get here quickly and my phone died."

that wasn't the only reason, of course. you agreed because it was miyeon. there was no way you could say no to her. you also left out the part where you panicked at her question.

miyeon waved away your apology and gave you a sweet smile. "i forgot, too."

you took a look at the table you had reserved for her in case she knew where to find you. it appears that you did a good job there; being best friends has its advantages. you tried your hardest to ignore the fact that you were just best friends, as much as it hurt.

maybe thank the girls for dragging her here as well. but she would've gone anyway. the moment she gets home, she'd probably regret being there without seeing you at all even if she knew what you were doing and run back.

"you can do your backlogs there if you'd like?" you offered with a hopeful smile.

miyeon looked over and saw how it was the ideal location for both you and her. she could easily see you from there, and you could see her from your vantage point at the corner. so miyeon smiled and leaned over the counter, throwing her arms over your shoulders before walking away. you stood there, frozen, your heart racing as if you had witnessed a jump scare that had sent you to the gates of hell.

your coworker had to nudge you out of your gay panic. "panic later, serve now." he playfully said and you slapped his back, but did as told.

miyeon worked on her backlogs all afternoon and into the late hours of the night, but she made sure to check in on you. she was worried because people kept coming in and you were almost running around, but you were still smiling, albeit a little breathless, so she figured you'd be fine. she tried her hardest to concentrate on her own work, but she kept looking at the counter where you were standing.

you looked stunning. white long sleeves, a brown apron tied around your waist and hung around your neck, hair pinned back to keep it from tickling your nose because she knew you were ticklish.

if she could, she'd storm over and kiss you.

you were doing exactly what miyeon was doing. from the counter, i was also admiring her. when you had a moment to yourself, you would look over at her, silently watching her write on paper or type on her keyboard. your counter partner had to nudge you because you were staring too hard, saying she'd melt into a puddle if you kept it up. you would simply roll your eyes and then attend to the customer who had just entered or assist the others with the drinks themselves.

you walked over to her table at some point during the night and placed her favorite cake and drink on the smallest space of her table. as you sat down in front of miyeon, she looked up at you with sparkling eyes and you smiled.

"for me?"

you nodded. "for you."

you watched as she dug into the cake, which is understandable given that she had been working for hours and hadn't eaten anything since class ended. when you laughed, miyeon looked at you with a puzzled expression.

you shook your head. "you're so clumsy. here."

you reached out, wiping the icing from her lip with your thumb and putting it in your mouth, humming with delight. miyeon stared at you, wide-eyed and panicked.

after that, you said your goodbyes, seeing another customer at the counter and your partner nowhere to be found. miyeon just stared at you while reaching up to touch her lips. 

miyeon never curses. 

well, she does, but without your name at the end.

and she can only think of one phrase right now.

fuck you, y/n.

miyeon was never able to complete her five other works after that encounter. she just stared at the laptop, moving her eyes every now and then but remaining motionless. you were concerned about what happened, so when your shift finally fucking ended (your words, not the author's), you walked over to her and put your hand on her shoulders, causing her to jump.

"hey, are you tired?" you asked with worried eyes.

and miyeon swore she had fallen in love with you all over again.

the girl nodded, too out of it, and you assisted her in packing her belongings. you were actually doing all of the work, but you didn't mind.

"hey!" you called over to your partner, who yelled back in response. "close up for me?"

he simply gave you a thumbs up, seemingly wiggling his brows from behind the door and openly supporting you, prompting you to respond with a smile. you helped miyeon out of her seat and carried all of her belongings home.

it was dark outside and the light posts provided the necessary illumination. because it was late, the crickets were quite loud in your ears and the occasional car zooming past you two filled the silence between you and miyeon.

you were concerned that miyeon had overexerted herself or that you had done something wrong because she was too quiet, too quiet in your opinion. you waited patiently for her to say something because she appeared to be thinking things through, but you were too worried to wait any longer.

"miyeon-ah?" miyeon hummed in response, resting her head on your shoulders. wrapping your free arm around the girl's waist, you supported her weight. "everything okay?"

for a brief moment, she remained silent, one hand reaching up to grasp the hem of your top. you expected her to take longer to respond, but she did so quickly, and it wasn't the response you expected.

"do you like minnie?"

you came to a halt, forcing her to do the same. miyeon closed her eyes as you both stood there, thinking she had finally caught you. 

to be honest, she didn't notice because you concealed your feelings so well. you even kept it from your best friend. 

her. 

miyeon. 

cho miyeon.

and miyeon is torn between being happy because you unintentionally made her like you a little longer or angry because you made her fall hard for you.

"i should be the one asking you that."

miyeon pulled away to look at you with wide eyes, a slightly disgusted expression on her face brought on by the idea of her dating minnie. "are you mad?"

you shrugged and averted your gaze. "well, it sure looked like it after class yesterday."

so that's why you scoffed.

miyeon shook her head frantically. "you can have her. i don't like her like that."

you returned your gaze to her. "why would i?"

miyeon gave you a confused look. "because you like her?"

"i like her?"

"you don't?"

if anyone else saw you like that, they'd be weirded out, and if the girls were there, they'd smash your heads together at how stupid you both were.

you laughed. "no, no. i don't like her like that. you can have her."

you ignored how your heart broke after saying it. you were on the verge of crying, so you couldn't wait to drop miyeon off at her house and sprint back home to sob into your pillow. you patted her on the back and encouraged her to walk. 

however, miyeon's hand shot up to meet yours, fingers wrapping around your wrist. you looked at her, shocked to see her determined expression.

"i don't like minnie."

your mouth formed the letter 'o'. "so, what's the issue?"

even though you were relieved to hear that, you were perplexed as to what this was all about if you both didn't like minnie in that way. so you looked at miyeon for an answer. she hesitated, but when she saw your puzzled expression, she took a deep breath.

"i have feelings for you."

you both stared at each other, miyeon waiting for an answer and you too stunned to speak. she silently begged you to say something, anything, even if it was to reject her, because she couldn't tell what you were thinking right now.

meanwhile, you were short-circuiting like a robot after someone accidentally dumped water on your metallic body, causing shocks to yourself. that was the most unexpected thing miyeon could have said to you. so you needed some time to think about it.

miyeon, on the other hand, was about to cry due to your lack of response.

"please say something?" miyeon whimpered, squeezing your wrist.

you finally snapped out of it and charged forward to grab her in your arms. miyeon hugged you, hoping this wasn't the last time. she cried at the thought and you held her, gently swaying her under the moonlight.

"for me?" you whispered in her ear.

she nodded. "for you."

there weren't any butterflies in your stomach. there was a whole damn zoo celebrating in it as your cheeks flushed. it felt surreal, but miyeon's close embrace grounded you.

you tried to pull away, but the girl quickly shook her head, tightening her grip. you whispered assurances into the night, and miyeon, albeit hesitantly, drew back while maintaining her grip on you.

"i have feelings for you, too." you announced, voice as gentle as the cool breeze of the night caressing miyeon's cheeks, as if telling her to wipe her tears away.

miyeon sniffled. "for me?"

"for you." you confirmed, grinning, and wiped her cheeks. "since the first day of college, when you tripped right onto me."

miyeon giggled at the memory. she'd be embarrassed if someone else brought up that subject. not of you, but of herself. but since you were the one who remembered it, she's fine with it.

you took her chin, hesitantly, as you looked into her eyes for consent, which was answered when miyeon pulled you in. you melted right into her as your lips caressed one another, the star-studded night sky shining brighter than ever.

you were out of breath when you pulled away, and you looked lovingly at miyeon as she rested her brow on yours. you both remained silent, savoring each other's warmth, inhaling each other's perfume, becoming one beneath the night sky.

"would you like to stay the night?"

you gave her a smile. "can you tell me about a time when i said no to you?"

miyeon laughed and kissed you again before yanking you in the direction of her house.
