you wake up to your phone blowing up beside you. the buzzing of your phone startle you and you roll over to the side, picking up your phone with a groan, peeking at your phone through squinted eyes.

“i thought i told you i’d be here by one?” the feigned disbelief rings in hueningkai’s voice as he steps into your bedroom to find you crouched in front of your measly but functional dressing table.
“you said to be ready by one,” you mumble through gritted teeth as you focus on getting the stroke of your eyeliner right, “and that doesn’t mean you’d be here by then, so i took some more time.”
“ah, sorry, i forget how stupid you are sometimes,” hueningkai comments as he flips down on your bed. you sigh, finally satisfied with the winged eyeliner you’d been perfecting for the past five minutes.
“and i forget how shameless you are sometimes,” you retort, standing up with a huff, “barging into my house without even knocking? you’re worse than any toxic parent i’ve met.”
hueningkai greets with a sarcastically bright smile, sitting up and watching you as you put on your crocs with a pout. he laughs and you glare at him.
“’s funny how you put all that effort into your outfit only to top it off with your ugly crocs.”
you throw a handful of the tissues you used to clean up your failed eyeliner attempts at his face, “i’m going shopping without you, asshole. maybe i’ll get yeonjun, at least he understands fashion.”
“hmm, i’m gonna tell beomgyu-hyung you chose yeonjun-hyung as the fashion expert, and then we’ll talk.”
you flip hueningkai off, shoving him through the hallway of your living room, with shooing sounds. as you grab your car keys and exit the house, you catch a glimpse of yourself in the only full-length mirror at your place. a white loose-fitted shirt slightly tucked into the front of your denim shorts pair smoothly with your black crocs — you have no idea what hueningkai’s going on about, you think as you follow him with a smirk.
—
“ohhhh, how is this one?”
you stop in your tracks with a glower on your face, wondering why hueningkai is pointing the ugliest shade of green in your face.
“what?” he squeaks when he spots the look on your face, “i thought you liked green! i can’t keep up with you!”
you shake your head, “i love green, hyuka, but that—” you point a hesitatn finger at the not-green jumper in his hand, “that’s fucking devil vomit. i’m not wearing that even if you paid me real money to.”
“what if i treated you to frozen yogurt after this?”
you wordlessly snatch the atrocious piece of clothing from him, “i’m never going to buy it though so don’t even think about it.”
“don’t be so sure of yourself, y/n,” hueningkai grins at the sight of his chosen piece lying in your shopping bag and you sigh internally at how adorable it is of him to be so excited over having bribed you into simply trying on the jumper. the vision of his sheer happiness remains ingrained in your mind later, when you do put the thing on, and much to your surprise, you’re not knelt on the floor puking your insides out.
“how is this?” you deadpan with a dead look on your face as you open the door to find him already jumping up and down like an excited child at the sight of cotton candy. if only the jumper you’re wearing was the color of cotton candy, you’d consider justifying hueningkai’s taste in clothes.
“wow! wait, you actually look cute in this!”
“so you did think it was an ugly sweater?” you hit hueningkai’s arm and he bites his lip at having been caught. “fuck you. just for this, i get to choose what flavor of frozen yogurt you’re getting.” you turn around only to be spun back around.
hueningkai’s flushed face greets you and he looks down at the floor, “i’m- i’m serious! you look cu- this looks cute! seriously! i’m not pranking you right now?”
you choke over a laugh at his flustered state, both confused and half-flustered yourself. you would always have so many questions about this boy. but for now you settle your insides with a loving head-pat to hueningkai’s brown hair, “i believe you for some reason. i’m going to try the other stuff on.”
as you close the door behind you, hueningkai sighs into his hands, unable to understand what he was doing. he’s ready to melt into a nondescript muddle of emotions outside your trial room to recover but your voice calls out to him sooner than he expects.
“hey, hyuka?” his heart skips a beat at the hesitance in your tone, “um, fucking hell, i need some help here.”
hueningkai chokes over his words, “h-help? you- what, you can’t even wear clothes without my help now?” he laughs at his own unwise joke, ignoring the eye-roll of the hormonal pre-teen kid next to him.
“can you actually shut the fuck up for once and like, help me before i suffocate to death?”
hueningkai coughs, feeling his ears burn. he slightly opens the door to your trial room. “i can come in?” he mutters, heart in his throat. “yes! do you need me to write it on a fucking paper or something? come inside!!”
the boy beside him chuckles, and hueningkai glares at him, cursing him for still not having had hit puberty.
either way, he shimmies into the room, and the first thing he thinks when he looks at you is: god, he hates stupid clothes that get stuck around people’s limbs.
second, he thinks: fuck, you’re standing half-naked in front of him.
you look at him through the mirror in front of you, “hello? i’m literally being hung to death by a piece of clothing and you’re busy gaping at me? do i need to start crying before you—”
“alright, alright, i’m helping so please stop screaming at me,” he fumbles with the hem of the sweater, trying to figure out the ends of the tag that was obstructing the cloth. as hueningkai struggles with the intricacies of threads, you struggle with the feel of his fingers brushing against your skin, every other second.
“are you done yet?” your comment is meant to be frustrating but the way you say is saturated with nerves, your voice half-breaking halfway.
hueningkai chuckles, sending a flush of air against your back, making you shiver. “i’m trying!” he says, eliciting another less intense shiver from you.
“oh, wait, i get it now.. i think.”
it is now, after having sacrificed at least a majority of his working brain cells, that hueningkai notices that the sweater is a lovely shade of lavender and it fits you snugly, sitting cozily against your hip.
“oh, wow,” you voice his thoughts when you look at the mirror, “this sweater is fucking god-send.”
“i can’t believe you actually look nice right now,” hueningkai mutters. you roll your eyes at his classic back-handed compliment and turn around as he continues, “you know what is a god-send? me. your bestest friend who spent an hour trying to untangle this impossible thing.”
“so i take it you’re saying i should buy this, then?” you inquire, leaning on one leg, hands on your hips. hueningkai looks away, afraid to look at you for too long and shrugs, “i mean, it’s more decent than the rest of your closet so—”
“get out of here, hyuka.”
you sigh in relief when he leaves you alone, and feel a dull twinge at his lack of enthusiasm toward your outfit. it’s stupid, you know, to base how you feel about yourself on the basis of what someone else says but the most valid explanation you can give to that is hueningkai qualifies as something other than someone else.
put in his own words, he’s your ‘bestest’ friend. in your own words? he’s… annoying.
and just because he’s annoying and you can’t get it out of your head how annoying he is, you interrupt a perfectly peaceful, albeit far from civil, frozen yogurt debate to ask him a stupid question.
“who do you find attractive?”
hueningkai blanks out for a whole minute, comprehending that you, y/n, are asking him this, a question about who he’s attracted to. you try to hide your embarrassment by stirring around your yogurt, looking through the window.
“what? i’m curious because i’ve literally never heard you talk about being into someone.”
he shrugs as nonchalantly he can, “because i’m not into someone.”
“no, that’s not what i mean,” you nudge him again, “like, a stranger, you know? just a surface-level attraction is what i’m talking about?”
“are you seriously asking me what my type is right now?” hueningkai narrows his eyes, “what is this? a scheme to set me up with a friend of yours?”
your heart aches, wondering how much easier life would be if your ulterior motive was the simple, that easily revealed. “no! i’m just asking you! it’s not that deep, you don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to.”
you go back to eating your respective yogurts in silence after that and you’re one minute away from banging your head against the wooden table in front of you.
“it really depends. i can’t explain it that well honestly,” he says suddenly. you look up, brows raised. “it’s hard to find someone who has all the things.. you know?”
“and the same features look so different on everyone?” he points at you, “like you have short hair, right?” you’re glitching the minute he brings you up but you nod affirmatively because of course, you’re aware that you have short hair.
“but even yuqi has short hair but she looks completely different to you,” you already don’t like where he’s going with this, but you know you’re gonna sit through the suffering anyway, “she’s very loud and like, out there? yours is much more subtle.”
what does that even mean?
“ha,” you jump up in realization that you’ve said this out loud and hueningkai fumbles, “i have no idea either, it’s just… there isn’t a blueprint. you know like both yeonjun-hyung and beomgyu-hyung have had mullets but gyu-hyung looked more androgynous and ethereal.”
“what i’m hearing right now is that you have a hair fetish?”
“i hate it when i’m being vulnerable with you and you make me a pervert, y/n.”
you chuckle, stuffing another spoonful of yogurt in your mouth.
“what about you?” hueningkai asks, almost accusingly, “what’s attractive to you?”
“i hate it when people ask me my own questions, so fuck you,” you flip him off, “also, i’m attracted to people’s personality more.”
“yes, yes, i’m aware. you told me you need to get to know people properly before you can be into them?” you nod, “so then, what quality makes you be into someone?”
you sigh, “come on, this isn’t a fair question! personality isn’t like appearance! i can’t just say that my type is beomgyu in a mullet and get away with it like you!”
“hey, i never said that my type was— that’s! that’s besides the point! i’m, for example, i like funny in a person-”
“you mean a sense of humor?”
hueningkai glowers at you, “just give me something here, y/n, you’ve made me spill my beans, now you tell me at least one thing.”
“fine! god, let me think,” you mumble. a few minutes later, you shrug, “i guess.. affectionate people are.. i have a soft spot for them?”
“that’s a bad answer, who isn’t affectionate in this era? what are we all, a bunch of tsunderes?”
“i’m leaving before you give me any more trauma, hyuka.”
—
at this point, it is clear to everyone and their mother that you have a joking as a coping mechanism problem which makes the fact that you joke around hueningkai natural. of course, there comes a time in your life where you find yourself alone in your bed, unable to asleep and unable to stop yourself from doing the one thing you’ve managed to avoid pretty well: thinking.
thinking leads to thinking about hyuka which leads to thinking about your conversation with him and how yuqi is loud and out there while you’re designated a lonesome word like subtle. it doesn’t help to know that yuqi gets along so well with hyuka, despite having met him fairly recently. and you see no reason for them to not be so close, honestly. both of them are crazy, to say the least. loud, hilarious, easy-going. they could spend hours cracking jokes and laughing at them. you could sit in the same room as them and go completed unnoticed.
you sit up with a groan. you hate being like this, you do. so bitter towards people just because you’re stupidly into hyuka. god, you groan again, in realization of the fact that you’re stuck in a cliche: helplessly in a one-sided love with your best friend. you didn’t just have the second-lead syndrome, you are the second lead. you’d just watch from beside hyuka as he falls in love with someone like yuqi, words Loud! and Out There! embellished around her head.
and you’re right about the fact that you’re inside of a cliche. you’re wrong about which cliche it is.
because around the same time as you, hueningkai is whining into beomgyu’s arm about how much he hates himself for saying what he’s said to you.
“they hate me for sure! they think i have fucking hair fetish!”
“you know, huening, if you’re actually secretly in love with me instead of y/n, you could just tell me.”
beomgyu’s grin doesn’t shrink even at the sight of yeonjun’s disgusted grimace as he pulls hueningkai off him and pats his back.
“kai, calm down, my man. they said they like affectionate people, right? that’s basically you!”
hueningkai shakes his head, “no, y/n’s definition of affectionate is very different. you won’t get it. i probably qualify as clingy.”
beomgyu shakes his head behind hueningkai, “you sound insane right now, i’m sorry. i can’t take it, i’m just going to text them—”
“NO! YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!”
—
the next time hueningkai sees you, you have red hair.
at first, he doesn’t even realize it’s you. he’s too busy looking around the room for you that when beomgyu screams, “y/n, you’re fucking crazy!!!!!” he squeals in surprise. when he turns to look at you, he expects you to just be drunk or in the middle of a wrestling match with yuqi but no.
“y-you have red hair?” he stumbles his step at the sight because he’s the one going crazy right now. what does one do when their crush dyes their hair out of the blue? or should he say, out of the red? (sorry not sorry for the bad joke. he’s down bad for you.)
his comment is drowned out by the choruses of wowing and screams around him as yeonjun and beomgyu jump around you excitedly, playing with the freshly red strands of your hair. most of the conversation is unintelligible as is to be expected but a part of it stands out.
“oh my god, why suddenly?”
you shrug, “i was just bored with my hair. it was too… subtle.”
you know what you’re doing, being overtly obvious about your motives but thanks to everyone’s enthusiastic reactions (and hueningkai’s unenthusiastic reaction), it is easy to disappear from his sights after that comment.
the rest of haechan’s game night is spent with a bunch of people rushing at you all at once, marveling at the change and catching up with you, the latter thanks to your absence at last month’s game night.
“i really missed you last month, you know!” mark jokes, poking your shoulder, “there’s nobody else who gets the hype of connect four like you!”
you laugh, “i apologize for abandoning you, my dude. i was burnt out after finals week so i just slept that whole weekend away.”
“ah, understandable. you’re forgiven in that case,” he mumbles, patting your head, and hueningkai suddenly appears at your side. though his signature goofy grin is plastered to his face, he seems stiff. you notice it right away and dread fills you, and then guilt. you’ve been ignoring him the entire night and he’s run out of patience. god, you hate life.
“you know what, we should play now!” mark exclaims, catching a glimpse of the uncharacteristic tension between the two of you. “all three of us, connect four. what say you?”
you freeze, and look around the room for an excuse. “um, actually, i was just going to go find the bathroom. you two should carry on.” mark stares at you warily before cracking a tight smile, “sure, y/n, you go do your business. we’ll be here.” he waves at you, watching you leave.
“or, i guess i’ll be here, all alone,” he corrects when hueningkai takes off right after you.
“wait, y/n.”
you would rather not. you keep speed-walking toward the bathroom, hating every step of the way.
“what-?” hueningkai takes hold of your shoulders, fixing you in place as he blocks your way to the bathroom. “hyuka, i’m literally about to pee my pants right now. so please unhand me now.”
he laughs, “i don't care if you're about to pee your pants. you’ve done it before. what you haven’t done before is avoid me.”
“avoid you?” your voice breaks because your body is never on your side, “what? i try listen to my liver's needs and suddenly i’m avoiding you-”
“i heard what you said, you know. about your hair.”
“my hair?” you mumble, and though you know what he’s referring to, you ask him, “do you like it?”
hueningkai feels the weight of the question uneasily, as if you’re not the y/n he’s known for more than just the length of his entire life, but rather as if this is a y/n he’s just met at a stranger’s party.
“i’m- i, yes, it’s nice. it looks natural. like you were born with red hair.”
the amused look on your face falls at his comment and you truly want to strangle hueningkai in that moment. you don’t.
instead, you shrug his hands off of you and rush into the bathroom, nails pressed up painfully against the skin of your palm.
“hey, y/n! what- i’m not done- hey, what’s wrong?”
hueningkai has followed you into the bathroom where it’s so much more silent and you want to go back outside. another one of those moments where your thoughts hit you hard. hard enough for you to say them out loud.
“of all the things you could say, hyuka! of all the things you could’ve said about me and my stupid fucking hair! first, it’s subtle. and now it’s, what? natural? honestly, just-” you stop when you realize you’re tearing up, “just, can you go right now? i’ll talk to you later.”
“what do you mean? i’m- did i say something wrong? i- i don’t get it.” hueningkai is truly stumped at your outburst. all along he’d been worrying about if he was being too obvious about his feelings about you. now he fears he’s not been obvious enough. (no shit, sherlock.)
you’re silent and fuming. breathing. “i don’t understand, is this about the other day? i didn’t mean anything bad-”
“but that’s just it, hyuka,” you’re not mad now. just heartbroken. “look, i didn’t think i was this far gone but i guess i am. and you’re still so fucking dense, dude. i’m in love with you but i can’t tell you that without crying like this because i’m your stupid best friend and- and just, ugh, just leave me alone right now and i’ll apologize later. please.”
hueningkai’s breath hitches, mind in chaos as he processes your words. it’s only when your hands push him toward the door of the bathroom that he springs into action.
“y/n! what the fuck is wrong with you?”
the words come out without the context of the 19 years’ worth of love he’s harbored for you so now you’re just crying harder.
“wait, no! no! i mean, i’m in love with you. i love you more than you could imagine, you literal dumbass. and you’re dense for not getting anything right. subtle? natural? have you ever heard me using big words like that for anyone else? i love you, y/n, because you’re you and that’s that. fuck you for not interpreting my words correctly.”
“what?” you choke out, wiping your tears, “you’re- but? wait, but?”
hueningkai pulls you into a hug and now it’s just adrenaline speaking for him, “i’m in love with you, y/n. in. love. with. you. with you! in love! i love you! love, not platonically, but romantically! as in i’m into you. more than friends. more than best friends and definitely, more than bestest friends—”
“okay, okay!” you shout hoarsely, pulling him closer, “i think i get it now.”
he pulls away, “you think you get it? i’m in love with—”
“i get it! you love me!” with that, you’re pressing closer to him, lips touching his cheek. “i love you.”
“can you do that again? i don’t think i get it, honestly.”
you roll your eyes but he leans in closer, lips a breath away from yours. his ears are red now and he’s back to being shy. you chuckle, your hands taking his face in them delicately and you kiss him fully on the lips.
“thank god that finally happened,” a voice from outside speaks up. you jump up and hueningkai throws the door open.
“what the fuck, beomgyu? get out of here!!”
—
“you know,” you whisper into the skin of hueningkai’s neck later that night, “you have used bigger words.”
honestly speaking it takes hueningkai a minute to recover from your incessant kissing to understand what you’re saying. “what?”
“you literally called beomgyu ethereal! that’s a really big word, even for me!”
hueningkai pulls you back into him, lips finding yours, “i’m sorry but i’m always going to love beomgyu-hyung more than you, babe.”
you shiver at how low his voice his gotten, and kiss him back, “mhm, the feeling’s mutual then.”
it’s only when the two of you are panting after nearly an hour in the darkness that your words come back to him. he pulls at your arm, “hey, what do you mean, the feeling’s mutual?!”

Happy Pride Month 2022!!!
Faust the Crow loves you even more than she did last year!

lolol im a pretty fast reader 🙃
also can we get jay's reaction to finding out that y/n used to like jake?
- 🍉
you areeee lmao cause it took me like 15 years to read over half of part four 😩 i'll also write something for his reaction lol but we all know the boy is probs going to get annoyed nonetheless 😂
warning; nothing lmao, just crack. 0.6k words.
"can you just let the poor girl eat her food?" jake rolls his eyes at sunghoon and pretends to gag at the sight before him, "you won't die if you don't kiss her for a bloody second!"
"you're just jealous that i have a girlfriend and you don't. go be lonely in the living room if you don't want to see happy people," your boyfriend teases back, his arms still tightly around you, preventing you from eating the bowl of soup on your kitchen table that had been sitting there for way too long.
it was a saturday night and with jay off driving your parents to some family gathering, you were left at home with jake and sunghoon. before your brother left, he had warned sunghoon to "keep your hands and lips to yourself". two seconds after jay left through the front door and sunghoon immediately threw himself onto you, arms wrapping around you and lips marking every single bit of skin on your face.
poor jake had to be there to witness the whole thing as he has done so many, many times before. lol
"oh you want to go there, do you Park?" jake chuckles evilly, "did you perhaps forget that she liked me first? for yearrrrrrs before you came? she hated your ass, isn't that right little one?"
"my sister did what?" jay's sudden voice has all your heads immediately turning, only to really see the boy standing there, his face now dark and sour.
the three of you had been too caught up in the conversation to realise that jay had actually arrived home minutes before and unfortunately walked in right when jake said what he said.
face palm. dumb jocks.
your brother's eyes are now on you and if looks could actually kill, then you might've been dead.
"did you two do shit behind my back too?!" jay's angry voice has you immediately pushing sunghoon's hands away from you. hoping off the kitchen stool, you hurry over to your brother's side, immediately clutching onto his arms.
"no! it wasn't even that serious, it was like celebrity crush, nothing more!" you try to explain but in the corners of your eyes, you could see your boyfriend watching you with raised brows, "i promise you, nothing ever happened."
"well you did almost kiss him at that party once, i think hana's party?" sunghoon suddenly chirps in and you slowly look over to him, your mouth hanging wide from the unnecessary information.
mental note, kick park sunghoon's ass later! he's just trying to get you in trouble!
no one says a thing for a few moments and though you were scared of jay's next words and moves, the silence in the room was actually a lot worse. you look up at your brother who is glaring into space, then to sunghoon who is giggling to himself then to jake who is just standing there silently.
"wait. so you're telling me, you liked jake... but then you went on to date sunghoon instead?" your brother says, his face seemingly more confused than angry now, "do i not teach you anything about having standards in men? more than twenty guys on my team and you went from jake sim to park sunghoon, really?"
"HEY I'M NOT THAT BAD!"
"true, at least you didn't go for beomgyu. that boy is for the streets," jay says and you immediately gulp at the thought of that one time you had went off with beomgyu to taehyun's house. that was a story you hope jay never hears about.
you side glance sunghoon who is also now looking a little nervous... and unfortunately jay catches on. "oh my god don't tell me you liked beomgyu too!? is there anyone else?!"
"no no no! i do not like beomgyu! never! sunghoon is bad enough!"
"true."
"HEY!"

pairing: enhypen hyung line x gn!reader
genre: fluff, roommate trope
warnings: not proof read! few curse words, kisses.. that's it i think, please lmk if i missed anything
word count: 1.8k
note: this will be my first writing post on tumblr ever! as a college freshman, these bullets are really not accurate because I still live with my parents lmao and i'm still doing online school. ANYWAY this is what my brain came up with. let's start <3
heeseung
okay, he would be quiet as FUCK
he is a frickin infp, man’s introverted
he only speaks when spoken to
BUT he would be protective, i can see that
being two years your senior, he definitely gives you all the advice you could ever need.
best study places? he knows them all.
where to and not to party? he tells you everything.
even professors to watch out for. AND HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE SAME PROGRAM AS YOU
after two months, he’d have already warmed up to you.
no more introverted heeseung! you only knew loud and funny heeseung.
you don’t know why, but he definitely cracked more jokes when you’re around. (his friends said so the one time they came over)
as for cooking, you both would fight. either he’s lazy or you don’t want another ramen night.
it got tiring. until you noticed it’s 10pm and dinner was FAR from ready, you shook your head and headed over to the kitchen with youtube open on your phone playing the first cooking video you saw.
you didn’t realize it until it was time to add the green onion to the kimchi fried rice you were making that heeseung practically cut up all of the ingredients you needed.
“whe- how?”
“you were reaaally focused.” he shrugged and snatched the ladle from your hands so he could transfer the rice into two separate bowls.
“you could be a good sous chef, you know? have you considered shifting to culinary?”
“i’m literally one and a half year from graduating, y/n.”
that night, you both didn’t sleep until 2 in the morning.
past midnight, you both decided to clean up.
1am, you two were in front of the microwave waiting for the timer to go off.
2am, the movie you were watching during dinner and well after the popcorn rolled credits.
you see your roommate on the couch, eyes shut, head leaning towards you.
he appears to be coming closer.
you look away. ‘what is he doing?’ you think to yourself.
you suddenly feel two arms on your waist, tightening its grip. you hear “you’re my favorite roommate.” from the voice you’ve been hearing consistently the past two months.
others after the cut!
jay
i do not know if im emotionally ready for this (prolly not) but let’s go
he’s been your bestest friend for most of high school so it’s a no-brainer when you both got into the same university that y’all will be roommates.
bickering. all. day. long.
“i’m showering first.” you reminded him when attempts to open the door.
“then why aren’t you HERE?”
“i’m getting in the mood, okay?”
very chaotic.
there is one time though when you both seem to have a cease-fire.
that time being when you got sick.
he had only one class that day so the whole three hours he was gone, was the only time you felt peace after five months of living with him.
the peace you felt being a good nap. when you woke up, you heard noise in the kitchen.
“jay, is that you?”
“guess!”
you rolled your eyes and decided to get up since your nap did 50% of the medicine’s work, one that you were supposed to take.
only you ran out so you waited for jay to buy some.
“what are you doing here?” jay, turning his back from the stove to face you, questioned.
you turn his back around again, “chill. i don’t feel that sick anymore. what are you cooking?” you peeked through his shoulders with a tip-toe to see that he was cooking soup, the one your mom makes for you when you don’t feel well.
“oh my god, you love me THAT much?” you said with a hint of sarcasm and teasing
“yeah, of course. why do you think i put up with your bullshit for 6 years, huh? of course, i’m in love with you.”
“woah, IN LOVE? JAY WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?”
his confession was so sudden
and that resulted in him PLAINLY AVOIDING you for three days
“jay, can we at least TALK about it? i swear i’m gonna go insane if you go another second of ignoring me.”
“i was planning on confessing, okay? and i planned it to go way better than that. c’mon...” he looked down.
“well, i think it was perfect.”
“sorry for ruining our friendship-” you cut him off with, “i like you too, you know?”
“WHAT?” an ‘o’ formed with his mouth. he was so cute.
he finally looked up to see your expression. when his eyes met yours, both of your lips formed a smile. his eyes a perfect crescent.
“so...” he started.
“so...” you continued.
“what now?” you said together.
he shook his head, still with the unstoppable smile. “come here.” he opened his arms, gesturing a hug.
“i really thought...” he said under his breath, with his chin touching the top of your head.
“shut up and kiss me.”
jake
hella awkward at first.
you're both international students so there's gotta be solidarity or something, right?
WRONG.
you and jake didn't talk for two weeks.
nods and waves were the only forms of communication.
that was enough, i guess?
it was fortunate that your schedules were the exact opposite. all of your classes were in the morning and all of his were in the afternoon.
you only ever saw each other when you both get food in the common area.
day 13. you became really tired of this. you wanted a new friend.
so you wait for him to come home after his last class finished.
“hey jake!” you said after he locked the door.
“huh? yeah, hi?” he looked confused. maybe because he was. this was the only time he heard you speak other than your first day in the dorms, when you first introduced yourself.
you scrambled your brain to come up with what to say and nothing comes. so you just said, “nothing. just wanted to talk to you more. uh.. good night!” And walked back to your room like you didn’t just wait 2 hours on the couch.
the day after, he started talking to you more. and it didn’t take too long for you to become close. and a month into this some kind of friendship, you started to form some kind of a routine.
study sessions in the cafe nearby. every week.
it started with him just asking where you were going one night and to your surprise, he came with you to the cafe that night because he said he wants to go somewhere to study too.
ever since then, when the clock strikes 9 in the evening, you were both packing up to go down to your trusty coffee shop.
you noticed at most nights, jake doesn’t even bother to open his laptop (that he supposedly brought to study) and he just goes on his phone. you even caught him one time taking a picture of you. “you were making a funny face,” was his excuse.
you were not making a funny face. you don’t know what was going on inside his head.
“jake, if you don’t have to study, you know you don’t have to come with me. right?” you cornered him the next week. you felt a bit guilty because you thought he was forced to go with you every time ever since the first study night.
“but, y/n, i WANT to go with you.”
“why?”
“i just like your presence. if i’m bothering you, then i won’t go anymore. is that good?”
oh.
he likes your presence.
“jake! oh my god, are we friends now?” you asked him with shock and a hint of teasing.
“yeah, of course we’re fr- WAIT YOU DIDN’T SEE ME AS A FRIEND BEFORE?”
“yeah, no. you were more like an acquaintance to me.”
“MY COMING WITH YOU EVERY WEEK TO THE CAFE... was that not our friendship bonding?”
“sure, but you don’t really talk to me... jake.”
“why do we both suck at starting conversations?”
sunghoon
another introvert.
this will be hard. especially, considering that he was one of the last people you'd want to be your roommate.
he hates you for goodness's sake.
well, maybe not hate BUT you’re sure he is out to get you
it’s hard having your academic rival as your roommate, no?
imagine, the one who races you to answer your professor just to annoy you is the same person you have to see each morning.
the one who always compares both of your scores is the same one who is now making coffee just outside your door.
can your university experience get any worse?
a deep breath later and your door is open. you need to go to school anyway.
you nodded at sunghoon and headed to the bathroom to shower.
you were running late, so you did everything as fast as you could.
then, you remembered as you were finishing up
you forgot to eat! you always liked to eat before showering, it was comforting.
it gave the slow vibe of a weekend morning. but now, all of that's gone.
all because of your annoying roommate who you were trying to avoid a while ago..
ultimately, you decided to eat just after your first class.
it’s only for an hour, i can do it. you thought about its duration. you can go back to your apartment to eat, without any distractions.
okay, it’s been decided! let's go to class.
you got out, all dressed and wondered, “where is he?”
why were you looking for sunghoon anyway
you shook your head and picked your keys up to go out.
an hour later, you heard noises as you were unlocking your apartment door.
you thought to yourself, sunghoon is gone for the day, right?
is there someone else inside? what if it was a thief?
so you inhaled as you opened the door.
while you were expecting a black masked figure, you saw the last person you’d thought to see.
sunghoon.
“you didn't eat breakfast.” he said simply and pointed to the dining table where he was sitting.
he continued, “so i cooked.”
“you weren’t even here when i finished showering.”
he shrugged. “groceries, duh.”
you laughed through your nose. “always an answer for everything. huh, sunghoon?”
“you bet,” he smiled and continued, “this doesn't mean we're friends. remember that.”
“of course. even the time when you took care of me when i was drunk, we weren't friends then.”
“yes! we weren't, we aren't, and we will definitely will not be friends.”
“you're insufferable, sunghoon.”
“not as much as you, though.” and he had the audacity to wink.
he was wrong, by the way.
both of you became friends soon after that.
then, lovers.
wait. that makes him... half right. you both are certainly not friends now.
“oh my god. was that what you meant by us never being friends?!” you jump up from your slumber.
you both were taking a nap. it was a nice sunday afternoon.
in your shared bed, sunghoon turns to face you.
he jolted his eyes in confusion. why were you screaming well into the afternoon? he didn't know.
but he did.
“we were never going to be friends because,” he paused to grab onto you and be closer to your scent.
“i was already in love with you then.”
he was a sk8er boi 🛹
face card never declined
KISS ME . choi yeonjun x reader (TEASER)
‹ SYNOPSIS : y/n l/n was elated when she got cast as clara in her ballet studio’s production of the nutcracker. what she wasn’t excited about was having to partner with choi yeonjun— her arch nemesis who was cast as the nutcracker. after spending so much time together during rehearsals, it was no wonder new feelings bubbled between the two.
‹ PAIRING : ballet dancer! choi yeonjun x ballet dancer! reader
‹ GENRE : oneshot , highschool au , non-idol au , fluff , angst if you squint
‹ WARNINGS : tbd
‹ STATUS : coming soon - march 12 ( send an ask or dm to be on the taglist ! )
“SO, YOU’RE THE NUT TO MY CRACKER”
y/n turned her head to see yeonjun following her up the stairs to the studio they were about to have rehearsal in.
“ew, don’t word it like that.” never mind being polite. i’ll be nice to him another day.
yeonjun chuckled, and gave a small smirk. “i’ll be honest. when i saw that you’re playing clara i was pretty surprised. i just wonder why they chose you when there are plenty of other dancers that could probably do it better than you?”
this cocky asshole. “and what makes you think you’re any better? i heard that they almost gave the role to heeseung but for some reason chose you last minute.” y/n glared and sped up her pace.
but yeonjun just continued to match her speed. he (unfortunately) always did. “can you slow down? when you walk fast like that it amplifies the sound of your pointe shoes and almost breaks my eardrums. or maybe you just have big feet.”
“your mom has big feet.”
before yeonjun could respond, they rounded the corner and entered the studio.
y/n felt grateful that she was in her happy place. she always knew she could be calmed when she was there despite whatever she had going on in her life.
“i could literally hear you two arguing from down the hall, just make out already!” lee chaeryeong, y/n’s best friend, remarked when yeonjun and y/n walked in. “keep the sexual tension somewhere else.”
“sexual tension? why would i ever want to do anything with… that.” yeonjun looked at y/n in distaste. his face was scrunched up and he looked as if he was about to puke.
right. any sort of peace she had previously was suddenly ripped away because yeonjun was there.
“as if you’re any more desirable than i am.” of course, y/n was lying.
she knew how attractive yeonjun was. in fact, it was one of the first things she noticed about him. his almond shaped eyes and full lips were enough to make anyone go crazy.
if her hatred towards him wasn’t glaringly present and clouding her judgement, perhaps she even would’ve had a crush on him.
but it was, so she didn’t.
“i hope your pointe shoes snap in half during rehearsal, y/n l/n.”
“suck a dick, choi yeonjun.”
