oh i've started listening to nona btw, my audiobook hold went thru at the library after many weeks of waiting. i also realized part of why i'd been putting it off was because i know i'm gonna miss a lot of important details and characterization and implications and have no idea what's going on during the first read and embarrass myself, which is silly. not knowing wtf is happening is a Vital Feature of these stories. i do not need to retain every single page of a book with perfect clarity or absorb every single thematic implication as i read it in order to enjoy it. <-desperately chanting this sentence while gripping the sink staring wild-eyed into the mirror
SO the plan is to just casually let it play through once so i get the vague shape of the story & then, if i have enough time left on the hold, to do a second listen wherein my brain will Actually Pay Attention. we'll see.

sorry for not reading guidelines properly! may i request the falling asleep on their lap for 97 line + wonwoo and soonyoung? thank u again!
svt + falling asleep in their lap (pt. 2)
➔ reaction || requested
➔ 714 words ➔ notes: fluff ; no problem haha it happens. this prompt is super cute — i was hoping someone would request a continuation. pls reblog if you liked! it helps with my visibility. let me tell you, it's so hard to write 13 unique reactions, especially when they're on the long side because i try to make them all equal in word count for fairness.
SOONYOUNG: you're helping him finish up a puzzle. or you were supposed to, but then you leaned your head against his shoulder with an insistent "i'm not tired!" and well. he knows it'll be more comfortable for you to sleep in bed or stretched out on the couch, but you're so cute in his arms like this, so he scoots closer to the table, careful to avoid bumping you. one arm curled around your back to keep you in place, the other quickly flipping over puzzle pieces — he bet vernon that he'd complete this by today, and both his pride and his lunch money are on the line. if you're still asleep by the time he finishes (because he will. don't underestimate a concentrated soonyoung), he'll adjust you in his lap, rest his cheek against your head, and take a nap, too. how often does he get the chance to hold you like this?
WONWOO: he laughs to himself once he realizes you're asleep. it's kind of heart-warming? it's not like you're in a particularly comfortable position — he's sitting at the kitchen table, your legs hooked over one of the chair arms, his hands securing you against his chest. despite that, you managed to tuck your head against his collar and fall asleep while he brainstorms lyrics. it means a lot, this small action, because you feel safe with him. you trust him to not let you fall. as much as he loves having you in his arms, you're going to have a hell of a cramp in your neck when you wake up, so he calls your name, straightening his spine until you're no longer cradled against him. when you blink up at him, eyes still hazy, he's tempted to just let you stay there.
SEOKMIN: similar to what i wrote in this reaction, he's so used to you in his lap for something as mundane as scrolling through social media that it doesn't occur to him that you've fallen asleep until he realizes that the same audio has been playing on repeat. "hey, y/n?" no response. he ducks down to check your face, and you're knocked out, breaths slow and soft against his cheek. that explains why you're leaning against him so heavily. i don't think he's the type to ease you off his lap. he'd make sure to turn off your phone and put it to the side, but otherwise, unless he has to get up for something, he prefers to keep you with him. but tbh, he'll probably forget you're there again, try to get up, and then have to catch you, which wakes you up lmfao it's so sweet how comfortable he is with you, though.
MINGYU: he asks you a few times if you can get up because he has to use the bathroom, but you don't move. this would normally be fine because you'd say no to his request and he'd sigh, pretending to be inconvenienced but holding you tighter. this time, though, he really needs to get up, so he calls your name a few times before deciding to tilt you back. and you're asleep, of course. he's even more conflicted. he doesn't want to wake you up because you might not fall back asleep — you look so peaceful right now, and being the one to disrupt that almost makes him reconsider, but he gently scoots out from under you, leaning you against the couch cushions. if you're still asleep when he's back, he'll move your head to his shoulder instead.
MINGHAO: he knows you're going to fall asleep eventually. when you come up to him, too tired to even attempt a smile, he just opens his arms and lets you settle in his lap while he watches some choreo videos. the music is low, loud enough for him to hear but not loud enough to disturb you as you thread your fingers with his. his other hand smooths over your head, your hair, your arm, your back. up and down again until your breathing evens out and your grip on him loosens. once you wake up, he'll ask you about what made you so exhausted, but for now, he's happy to provide you quiet comfort, his presence a balm to your frayed thoughts.
