zb1 getting jealous . . !
☆! ot9 x gn!reader. fluff. not proofread. requested.
[ 🎧 ] now playing . . only by lee hi
a/n: hi, i’m back! sorry for taking an unannounced hiatus, i wasn’t feeling too well the past few week. anyway, keep sending requests! i’ll get to them asap.
Tumblr media
% . . kim jiwoong
pouty pouty pouty
probably turns into a whiny man-baby to capture your attention
you won’t have to guess if this man’s jealous
he will let you KNOW
not too territorial
but will not hesitate to throw hands if he sees anyone being too handsy to you
more utc.
you’d be having a regular conversation outside with a coworker
and this man would be behind you in 0.5 seconds
with his hands on your waist and chest pressed against your back
might also be a little petty
gives little hints when he talks
“yeah MY S/O is great. mhm.” “MY S/O does that, too.”
lmao this man is not gonna get his hands off of you even after you get home
good luck
% . . zhang hao
THE PETTIEST
boy… where do we even start!!
probably gets real cautious when anyone tries to be flirty or touchy with you
will stare at the person you’re talking too the entire time
if looks could kill that person would be on the floor, decomposed
get’s real antsy, too
you’d be talking to a coworker during a company event you and hao attended
he won’t keep his eyes off the two of you, for sure
will probably get a little upset at you for not noticing the other person’s advances
“did you even SEE him? he was flirting with you!”
he means no harm, he’s just protective
and he just wants to make sure that you’re putting up proper boundaries for both yourself and your relationship
give him a lil kiss and a promise that he’s the only guy you want
and he’ll be okay
hao can be ur lil drama queen sometimes
% . . sung hanbin
i don’t think hanbin gets jealous a lot!
he’s pretty secure with his relationship with you so
what’s there to be jealous about?
but there are times where he finds himself a little envious
especially when you spend a lot of time with a certain friend or coworker
it’s a feeling he vocalizes with you a lot
when you get home from lunch with the alleged coworker, hanbin wastes no time to talk to you about it
“i’m sorry, i just overthink sometimes..”
and you’re grateful for it because you can reassure him that he’s the only guy you’ve got your eye on
a few hugs and kisses and a netflix marathon with you and he’s good to go!
hanbin the greenest flag to ever exist
% . . seok matthew
i feel like matthew doesn’t get jealous for real a lot
he mostly uses it to act cute so he can get attention from you
like he’s not actually jealous,
but if him pouting gets him extra cuddle time before bed then, why not?
he’ll take advantage of your weakness to his puppy eyes, too
you’d be on the phone with your best friend
when he comes up to you, pouting and asking for attention
you’d try to tell him you’re busy with your friend, and he pouts even harder
too late, you’re a goner now
you’d pretend to hate it, but honestly you don’t mind that you can’t say no to this man
“hehe. thank you babyyyy~”
whipped fr
% . . kim taerae
this man is a little 50/50
sometimes he’ll get jealous, sometimes he wont
i think it depends
if it’s with your close friends, he’ll let his guard down
but with strangers and people he doesn’t know well, he can be a little cautious as well
like if you have to talk with someone you’re not close to privately
he doesn’t like it
not because he doesn’t trust you or whatever
he’s just very anxious
interrogates you right after
“what did he say? did he hit on you? he knows you have a boyfriend right?”
just assure him that everything’s fine and there is nothing to worry about
and he’ll be ok
% . . shen quanrui
if jealousy was a person, it would be named shen ricky
gets jealous SO EASILY
but doesn’t say it!
he actually feels bad for feeling jealous over the littlest things so he ends up bottling all of his emotions :((
like even when you’re only talking to a close friend
he can’t help but to feel a little jealous
tries to hide it
“i’m okay, seriously baby it’s not a big deal.”
but through his facial expression and mannerisms, you can immediately tell that he’s feeling upset
so you almost always try to comfort him by including him in the conversations with your friends
and holding his hands even when you’re all out with your friends
it helps him a little
but if he ever keeps on overthinking you’re always willing to reassure him
and he’s very thankful for it
% . . kim gyuvin
i feel like gyuvin’s not the jealous type either
gyuvin’s very comfortable in your relationship so jealousy is almost never an option
but! that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen!
it’s incredibly rare, but gyuvin can feel a bit jealous sometimes
whenever he notices you paying a bit too much attention on a male friend he’s introduced to you
won’t make a big fuss about it
but will let you know that he’s not feeling okay with the situation
“i just feel like he’s trying to hit on you or something…”
so in return you respect his wishes by pushing the alleged friend away
it’s alright though, he’s got nothing to worry about
% . . park gunwook
i have a feeling that gunwook may be a little dense at times in terms of a relationship
so a jealous gunwook is rare
because he absolutely does not even notice any ill intentions of anyone towards you
a stranger would be asking directions and talking to you on the street
trying to hit you up and flirting with you
and gunwook would just
let it happen???
thinking that the guy is just friendly
but when he asks for your number, the pieces click in gunwook’s head
“sorry, (s)he’s got a boyfriend.”
he’d smile at the guy and pull you away
you’d admire his reaction, praising him for not overreacting or making a scene
and he’d tell you that there’s no need for it
because he knows you won’t hurt him
% . . han yujin
yujin gets jealous quite often as well
but not in a toxic way or whatever
he’s just very protective of you
especially when you talk to people he doesn’t like
you’d be talking with an alleged bully at school
he’d stumble upon both of you in the halls and immediately alarms would start blaring inside his head
practically sprinting, he interrupts your conversation, pulling you away from the guy
you’d be a little upset at how rude he was but he’d tell you that the guy definitely deserves it
“don’t talk to him, he’s bad news. like bad bad.”
he’s not territorial or possessive
he just worries that people might abuse your kindness
and to him, that is not okay

dating the zerobaseone boys . . ?!
☆! ot8 x gn!reader. fluff. not requested.
a/n: i didn’t include yujin bc i’m not comfortable in writing about him in a romantic way, since we have quite an age gap. hope u guys understand.
Tumblr media
% . . kim jiwoong
this guy’s the most protective boyfriend to exist ever
is big on physical touch as a love language
always have to have his hands on you
on your waist, holding your hand, even gripping your thigh sometimes??? this man istg
more under the cut.
loves taking you out in dates
is a big restaurant man
i feel like jiwoong likes “traditional” dating
like taking you out for dinner, paying for your meal, walking you back home
i mean you deserve the best treatment so
he’s also big on surprises
if he gave matthew a bouquet on his birthday, imagine what he would give YOU, his s/o
likes to listen to you talk
let’s you ramble about your day for hours
he doesn’t really mind it, even if you think you’re annoying him with your rants
his favorite past time is to listen to you so
can read you like a book as well
takes him 0.1 seconds to know if and when you’re upset
would always try to calm you down by holding you in his arms
hates seeing you cry too
he sees one tear fall from those pretty eyes and he’s already on his way to soothe you
“what’s wrong, are you okay? please don’t cry.”
overall he’s a big softie for ya
% . . zhang hao
zhanghao’s definitely the type of bf that just loves to annoy you
teases you to no end
he just loves to elicit reactions from u, i feel like
but really, he’s incredibly caring
won’t hesitate to pamper you at any given time
he even calls you his prince(ss)
especially when you get sick
boy!! this man is never gonna leave your side when you’re ill
always tries to make time for you as well
even if he’s super busy, he’ll clear his schedule somewhat
even if it’s just for 20 minutes
is big on updating you throughout the day
you’d receive texts from time to time, just zhanghao telling you about his day
“we’re on our way to the company” “gyuvin fell on the stairs and landed on his butt lol” “dw he’s fine”
calls you at the randomest hours of the day to check up on you
likes to make sure you both are aware of eo every day
because he’s afraid of you drifting apart
his favorite dates are the spontaneous ones
like eating in a diner at one random night or going out for a convenience store run at 2 am
will always be there for you
doesn’t matter what you need
a hug? a new bag? 15 million won? someone to help you hide the body?
he’s there to provide
% . . sung hanbin
hanbin is a bf and a mother combined into one
is never not coddling you
always makes sure you’re taking care of yourself
and if you aren’t, he will >:(((
big on words of affirmation!!
but i feel like he’s the type to try and hit all of the love languages as much as he can
but yours (and by proxy, his) favorite is words of affirmation
bc he never fails to praise you and tell you how proud he is of you
the first time he said reassured you, you cried like a baby
and he cradled you like one, too
is there to comfort you at the speed of lightning
whenever you tell him that you aren’t feeling well, his priority is to ensure that you feel better asap
makes sure that you’re prioritizing your health over everything
sends photos at random times of the day
“babe we’re in busan! wish u were with us rn :(“
the two of you aren’t big on going out
so date nights would be spent with just the two of you cuddling on the couch and watching a movie
although you end up falling asleep halfway through
he secretly loves it
takes photos of you when you’re asleep and sets it as his lockscreen
tries his best to make homecooked meals for you
but if not he’ll just end up ordering takeout for you
he just wants to make sure that you are always happy, healthy and fed
% . . seok matthew
now this man is the definition of a golden retriever bf
is the happiest when you guys are together
loves to take you out on dates!!
library and park dates are his favorites
just anything involving the two of you walking around together
is also a clingy baby
is immediately sad when you guys separate
spends most of his days thinking about what the two of you could do together
likes to listen to music with you
makes you lots of playlists to listen to
is also the type to facetime you for a period of time
when you’d be studying and he’d be practicing his vocals
likes to ask you for advice as well
he thinks you’re one of the smartest people he knows so, it makes sense
is fond of sending you photos of things he sees that reminds him of you
“babe look! this goat looks just like u ㅋㅋ“
teases you sometimes, but not as much
is also big on cuddling
boy if you guys sleep together.. good luck
expect this man to cling on to you so much
he’d almost be laying on top of you
likes to bury his face in your neck
this might sound weird, but he loves your scent so much
not your perfume, but your natural scent
it reminds him of home, almost
because at the end of the day, he always comes home to you
% . . kim taerae
another sunshine boyfriend
he’s just always so smiley when you’re around
likes to take buy you flowers and chocolates
you’d put one of the flowers behind your ear and he’d take a photo
later you’d see it as his lockscreen on literally every gadget that he has
likes singing to you
but also likes to hear you sing
even if you think that you aren’t good, he just likes your voice
sends you snippets of him singing whenever he can
is big on quality time and acts of service i think
whenever you go out on dates, expect this man to do everything for you
even if it’s just to tie your shoe or to ask for a napkin in a restaurant
you are a prince(ss) to him. period
likes playing with your fingers whenever you hold hands
he does it a lot, especially whenever he’s nervous
like before a performance
having your hand in his calms him down a lot
can also be a little protective of you
he’s okay with you wearing anything you want when you go out,
but expect him to wrap his arms around your waist whenever he notices someone staring at you outside
incredibly whiny when you won’t give him what he wants
“babyyyy, i need one more kiss, c’mon!”
i mean, who can resist this man???
% . . shen quanrui
make way for our young and rich tall and handsome charisma boss baby
this man is going to SPOIL you rotten
obvi buying you material things isn’t an issue
he’ll get you the most expensive things even when you complain
you need a new bag? he’ll get a louis vuitton. you need some clothes? there’s a chanel store near his place. you want some food? expect some gourmet takeout
he just wants to provide you the things you deserve, even if they are expensive
but ricky doesn’t just spoil you with material objects
he’s big on assurance as well
always making sure that the two of you don’t end up in any disagreements and misunderstandings
the thought of you worrying about him worries him
always asks your opinion on things, too
about his clothes, his singing, dancing, etc.
sometimes he uses that as a way to get you things
he’s send you a photo of a necklace one day and ask,
“baby, what do you think of this necklace?”
you’d say it’s pretty and boom, next day he’s bought it for you
if he’s big on giving you expensive gifts, he’s big on receiving handmade ones from you
he loves everything you make for him
handwritten letters, crotched stuff animals, everything
he keeps all of them in a box in his closet
and if you ever buy him any piece of clothing or jewelry
expect him to always be wearing it
because in a way, it makes him feel like he’s carrying you with him wherever he goes
% . . kim gyuvin
boy.. good luck
you just got yourself a bf and a baby all in one
i’m jk, but we all know gyuvin’s a (literal) giant baby
likes to be coddled by you most especially
acts just like a little kid when he’s with you
but that’s only because he feels comfortable being with you
loves to watch movies with you!
at home or at the cinema, doesn’t matter
buys you lots of snacks. like. tons
it’s his love language; to feed you
likes to go to fun little events with you, like music festivals or fiestas
this boy has a social battery as big as a truck, so prepare yourself
introduces you to his friends a lot
and invites you to their hang outs
you end up being a part of their friend group, almost
and everyone loves you because you take really good care of gyuvin
although you make sure not to mother him too much, sometimes you just can't help it
you end up buying him things he needs or calling him at noon to make sure he's eaten his lunch
in compensation, gyuvin likes to make sure that you are always happy
would be the type to say a random joke or to even embarrass himself in public just to see you smile
"babe, babe, what do you call a fake noodle? an im-pasta!!"
it gives you a headache sometimes but you genuinely love it about gyuvin
how he always prioritizes your happiness,
sometimes even above his own
% . . park gunwook
another giant baby, oh boy
but unlike gyuvin, gunwook doesn't require much care actually
you just give him few hugs and cuddles and he's good to go
requires a lot of attention from you. like. all the time
if you guys are separated expect to receive dozens of messages and facetime requests from this man
always wants to talk to you during his breaks or whenever he isn't busy
and he always has a story to tell you
he's a little clueless when it comes to dating, given how young he is
so most of your dates just end with either the two of you hanging out at home
or just a simple late night walk around town together
however, he does like shopping with you
he's not as "giving" as ricky, but he's definitely one to buy you a few expensive pieces here and there
especially if he sees a pretty bracelet or a nice pair of earrings
loves to surprise you with them
he's big on physical touch as a reward
it's his motivation
"ok so if i finish my chores i can cuddle with you? alright, got it"
boom he's washed the dishes and mopped the floor and cleaned his desk table all in under 20 minutes
physically relaxes whenever he's with you
like he'd be tense whenever he's out in public, always wary of everything he says and does
but when he's with you, it's like all of his worries wash away
he loves you so much
to him, you are his comfort

boy probably prefers to be the small spoon, but due to his height has to be the big spoon most of the time
doesn’t mind it honestly, long as he’s maintaning skinship with you
though he gets hot really easily so he doesn’t like the full on embrace type of cuddles
likes having you on his lap
or maybe sat/lying next to him, with your head leaning against his shoulder
however he’s def the type to pull you closer once you both are about to sleep
secretly a closeted cuddle fiend
% . . kim gyuvin
ur lanky cuddle bear

i pray your arms don’t lose blood overnight
% . . park gunwook
a literal teddy bear. like literally

makes him feel giddy for some reason
pulls you superrr close
like he wants your skins to become one i think
will whine and pout if you push him away
do not deprive this man of his cuddles
% . . han yujin
this boy’s too awkward when you cuddle him
doesn’t know where to put his hands so it’s almost always just at his sides
however he does like the feeling of your weight pressed against his
his favorite is when you guys are in bed, facing each other while you two talk
lets you lay your head on his arm sometimes
keeps a solid distance between the two of you in respect
and also he doesn’t like too much skinship when it’s too hot
pushes you off the bed sometimes tbh
rip you

zb1 overhearing you on the phone . . !
☆! ot9 x gn!reader. semi-angst. roughly 4.4k words. requested. ‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ[ 🎧 ] now playing . . dangerously by charlie puth
a/n: yujin is involved here! i wrote his part in a platonic matter. but it’s up to you if you’ll look at it romantically. also m/n = member’s name.
Tumblr media
?! context
you were lounging at home by yourself, on the phone with a friend
the both of you were just chatting about random stuff
complaining about stuff from school, home, what have you
when you didn’t hear the front door open, and (m/n) stepping inside
practice ended early so he came home to surprise you
but it was him who was surprised with what he overheard
more utc.
% . . kim jiwoong
he was sooo excited to come home early and surprise you
he’d been spending extra hours at the company practicing lately
so the extra time with you was definitely a long time coming
but when he was about to burst the door to your room open, he overheard you and your friend’s conversation
“yeah it’s getting tiring, honestly.” you’d say on the phone “he never has the time anymore, it’s frustrating.”
his heart sinks at your words. you weren’t talking about him.. were you?
maybe he was just feeling guilty for not having enough time for you
but when he heard you say, “yeah maybe i should just drop him. i dunno.” he couldn’t help but to burst the door open
“oh, babe, you’re home!” you’d exclaim and end the call immediately
you’d throw yourself into jiwoong’s arms, excited and pleasantly surprised to see him home so early
but when he wasn’t reciprocating your affection, you got suspicious.
“what’s wrong?”
“were you talking about me?” he’d ask, voice a little shaky because he was so scared :( poor darling
“huh???” you’d be so confused, too, not really sure what jiwoong was talking about
“on the phone. were you talking about me?” he asks
and your heart would literally break in half when you realize. he must’ve thought that you were complaining about him.
“oh god, love no!” you’d try to reassure him. “i was talking about my professor, i swear! he’s been MIA recently because he's been coaching some of the younger students. so my friend and i were talking about dropping his class. i promise it wasn’t about you.”
then, jiwoong would feel sooo embarrassed once your words sinked in
“oh,,,”
the tip of his ears would turn pink and he’d be so bashful
“sorry???” he’d try to apologize
“nono, it’s okay, i’m sorry too~”
the two of you would then spend the rest of the day in bed together, cuddling and making up for what happened
you swear jiwoong was holding you a little tighter than usual though
not that you were complaining
% . . zhang hao
zhanghao’s usually not the one to jump into conclusions
but god the way you were sounding so angry on the phone made him anxious
he could hear you fuming while you were ranting to your friend
“god he’s so stupid!!” he wasn’t sure who you were talking about, so he decided to eavesdrop for a little bit
“i can’t believe that i’ve been pretending that i like him. i mean, he genuinely thinks i do! he’s so dumb.”
you haven’t told him anything recently so his mind immediately went to the worst case scenario
were you talking about him?
“i’ve never liked him, not once! he’s always so—“
you weren’t even finished talking when zhanghao opened the door, alerting you of his presence
“oh, hao.” you mumbled, still a little overwhelmed with emotions so you tried to regulate them for a moment
“sorry, i was on the phone, i didn’t hear you come in.” you’d say, ending the call with your friend
“is everything okay?” he asks, wanting to check on you first
he also didn’t want to assume things, but he couldn’t help but to panic deep inside
“yeah, i was just ranting to my friend, sorry.” you say
“about who?” he’d ask, trying to check if you'd lie or say anything that would give away his suspicions
“huh?” you’d be confused for a second, til’ it sank into your head that he must’ve heard your conversation with your friend.
“oh! did you hear that? i was just ranting about my orgmate. he got promoted to a higher position and it made me upset because i don’t like him.” you explain, calmly
and zhanghao, having a lot of trust in you, believes your words. he also remembers you telling a story related to this orgmate of yours
“ah, is this the freeloader?” he asks
“yes! ugh.” you’d grumble, continuing on another rant
zhanghao’s worries would alleviate once you finished explaining.
thank god he didn’t overreact.
% . . sung hanbin
hanbin felt so giddy making his way up the stairs to surprise you in your room
he had planned to make a big entrance to greet you, too, wanting to burst the door open to alert you of his presence
but he stopped in his tracks just by the entrance of your bedroom, overhearing the conversation you were sharing with your friend on the phone
"hm? yeah he's not here with me." he heard you say. "yeah, yeah i'm alone at home."
he wasn't sure what you were talking about, so he tried to eavesdrop a little to hear what you were saying
"honestly yeah. he's gotten quite annoying." he heard you say
hanbin could feel his heart sink down to his feet. he immediately assumed you were talking about him, because who else would you be talking about?
"i'm so glad he isn't home, too. imagine how much i'd have to put up with if he was."
by this point, hanbin was already fighting tears. he retreated to the living room in order to calm himself down, and to wait for you to finish your call
once you were done, he sent you a text message, letting you know that you were home earlier than expected
you rush out of the room, excited to see your boyfriend
but before you could greet him, you were immediately shocked by hanbin's tear-stricken face
"baby what happened?????" you were completely oblivious to what he just heard
"do you not like me anymore." he'd sob, completely riddled with grief
"what?? of course i do!!!" you tried to comfort him by wrapping your arms around him. "what brought this on?"
"heard you" sob "on the phone." he'd say in between sobs.
it'd take a few moments for you to understood what he meant, until his words finally sink in
"oh my god," you'd exclaim. "baby, i wasn't talking about you!! i was talking about my cat!"
he'd look up at you, confused
"remember my old, grumpy cat that i didn't like?? the one i left at home with mom??? i was talking to my childhood friend about him on the phone!! i wasn't talking about you."
then, after a while, he'd hide his face in his hands, whining in embarrassment
"i'm so dumb-!" he'd exclaim
feeling guilty, you try to console him, "no you're not!"
the two of you spend the rest of the day cuddled on the couch, comforting and reassuring hanbin all the while.
% . . seok matthew
matthew had an entire day's plan in his head for when he got home to you that day
he was very thankful for the early dismissal from practice, and he was not about to waste this day
he wanted to surprise you and take you out for the day, he even got dressed and was ready to pick you up from your apartment
he went in expecting to see you excited, but the only thing he heard was you talking on the phone in your room
not wanting to disrupt your conversation, he waited for you to finish
so he couldn't help but to catch some of the things you were telling your friend
"do i miss him? yeah of course i do." you say "been a while since we spent some time together."
he smiled secretly, assuming you were talking about him. the situation was perfect, he really couldn't wait to surprise you
but his smile would fade once he'd hear the rest of your conversation
"but.. i don't know. i think we're better off apart. he can be a bit much sometimes." you say
his heart would break at what he had heard
he was already feeling insecure with where he stood in your relationship, hearing this didn't help at all
you must've noticed him standing by the door, because you suddenly call out his name
"oh, matthew!" you'd exclaim, surprised to see your boyfriend
seeing his sullen expression, you end the call with your friend and move towards him. "is everything okay?"
"are you gonna break up with me?" his mouth moved faster than he could think, so many things were running in his head, and he was panicking at the thought that the two of you would break up
"what?? no i'm not! are you?" you'd ask
"no." he said. "but you said.. we're better off apart.."
you could see the tears forming in his eyes, and that pushed you to wrap your arms around him
"nonono darling, i wasn't talking about you." you said. "i was talking about my uncle. he's coming to town in a week and my mom wants me to hang out with him. you know i don't like him that much."
"oh." he snapped out of his trance, your words taking their time to sink in his head
"i'm not breaking up with you now, nor am i ever going to, okay?" you reassure him
he'd feel embarrassed, wiping the tears off of his face. "sorry.."
"it's okay, do you wanna come lay down with me?"
whatever he had planned for the day got thrown out of the window
and you spent hours in bed, just talking and cuddling, trying to forget about what just happened
but as long as the two of you were okay, matthew doesn't mind anything
% . . kim taerae
taerae was ready to surprise you that day
when he was allowed to leave early for the day, he immediately rushed to buy food and snacks at a nearby store
he wanted to have a lazy day in with you, just watching movies and hanging out together
although he knows that you prefer going out on dates, taerae was far too tired from practice to do anything else, so he thought that this was a good compromise
he was about to burst through your door, prepared to relax and take a break with his favorite person
when he overheard you on the phone with a friend
"yeah i probably can't go to the party." you'd say "nah, it's just, i don't wanna go on my own."
feeling curious, he decided to keep listening.
"hm? nah, you know he's busy. he'll never come with me."
although taerae didn't want to seem vain, he couldn't help but to assume that you were talking about him
"yeah i know. he's never has time, it's frustrating. i mean, can't he spare a day and hang out with us?"
taerae wanted to be optimistic, but things weren't looking good. he was sure that you were talking about him, and it made him feel guilty.
a few minutes later, you end the call with your friend, and that signaled taerae to let his presence be known
he walked through the door, eliciting a surprised gasp from you
"taetae! you're home early." you say, excited, however, you can't help but to notice how gloomy he looked
"yeah." he said with no ounce of emotion. "i-i wanted to surprise you. do.. do you wanna go out?"
your eyebrows furrowed "aren't you tired from practice?"
"yeah but-" by now, you could definitely tell that something wrong was going on
"taerae, tell me what's wrong."
"i just.. i heard you on the phone.." he said "i feel really guilty and i know you wanna go out so, do you wanna--"
"wait, wait," you cut him off, "you thought i was talking about you?"
"well, yeah." he replied. "weren't you?"
you couldn't help but laugh, your heart swelling a little at taerae being so concerned
"i was talking about my old friend, bub. you know, the one who got a girlfriend and suddenly disappeared from our radar?"
"oh." he stood there awkwardly, suddenly feeling red-faced
"we keep inviting him to parties and get-togethers but he never comes. he's always saying that he's busy with his girlfriend."
he nodded dumbly. you couldn't help but wrap your arms around him, cooing at how adorable he was
"sorry, i just assumed.." he tried to explain
"no need to explain, i get it. but don't ever think you'd have to prioritize me over your health and career, mkay? i can always wait."
you notice the bag of snacks he carried when he came through the door
"oh, let's have a movie night!" you suggest, unaware that that was taerae's plan all along
he smiled, realizing how lucky he was to have such an understanding s/o like you
% . . shen quanrui
to say that ricky was excited to see you after practice was an understatement
you hadn't had the chance to hang out for a few weeks now, and he was getting pretty restless
ricky's not exactly the type that wears his emotions on his sleeves, so he would never admit it out loud, but he missed you so much, it was getting frustrating
he wanted to spend the entire day with you at home, just lounging and catching up on everything that's been going on with the both of you lately
but as he made his way inside your apartment, he could hear you talking and laughing with a friend on your phone
although he didn't want to eavesdrop, he could practically hear your voice reverberating through the entire apartment
"it's so embarrassing!" he heard you laugh.
he didn't want to bother you and your friend either, so he waited for you to finish the call
but when he heard your continuous laughter, he couldn't help but listen in
"i swear, i have no idea who told him he was good." you said. "he can't even dance!"
he wasn't sure who you were talking about, but something in his gut was telling him that you might be talking about him
"someone really needs to tell him that he's not as good as he thinks he is." you laughed. "no i won't, why me?!"
your words, plus the insecurity he’s been feeling with their debut nearing caused ricky’s mind to go up in flames
half of his brain, the ones that trusted you, wanted to believe that you were just talking about someone else
but the other half, the one who controls his insecurities, was jumping into conclusions and assuming the worst
what if you were talking about him?
unable to control his anxiety, he decided to confront you about it
entering your room, he takes you by surprise. “babe!” you call out
quickly saying goodbye to your friend, you run up to ricky, expecting him to embrace you
but when he didn’t move a muscle, you got confuses
“ricky?”
“what were you guys talking about?” he asked, voice shaking
“oh.” you were still oblivious, but continued to explain “my friend and i were talking about this from our dance class..”
although he really wanted to believe you, he was starting to feel unconfident. “are you telling the truth?”
“what? of course i am.” then, you realize at that moment. “did you think we were talking about you?”
ricky didn’t respond, feeling embarrassed and upset
“oh babe, i swear it wasn’t you.” you pouted. “this guy in our class was just bragging about how he should be the center for our performance, when he couldn’t even follow the steps to our choreography.”
you kept explaining, and even gave ricky evidence of you and your friend’s text messages “see?”
he sighed, finally wrapping his arms around you. “sorry.” he said, burying his face in your hair in embarrassment
“it’s okay, i’m sorry too. i didn’t know you were home already.”
after apologies have been in order, ricky decides to invite you for dinner outside, to forget about what just happened
it wasn’t in his plan but what can he say
he definitely deserves a fun night out with you after that fiasco
% . . kim gyuvin
gyuvin couldn't be more excited to come home after an early end from their company that day
he was thinking of all of the things the two of you could do, since he's been incredibly busy with school and practice
although, he was a little worried about you because he's been unintentionally neglecting you recently
not being able to visit you at your apartment, leaving you on read, he even declined an invitation to come with you to your friend's birthday party
so he swears that he'll make up for all of it today
he saved up a lot of his allowance to buy you a huge bouquet of roses
and a pretty necklace he saw you eyeing online a couple weeks ago
he even went out of his way to buy the two of you dinner for later so you wouldn't have to cook or leave the house to buy food
he entered your apartment, preparing to surprise you
but when he heard you talking on the phone, he hesitated
he didn't want to be rude because you might be having an important conversation
"who? oh yeah he's cute!" he heard you explain.
not one to assume, gyuvin didn't think much of what you were talking about
he busied himself with getting his gifts ready, making sure the flowers weren't crooked or that the necklace was still on its box
however, he couldn't help but to overhear your conversation
"i know, i saw him last night." you said, and that raised a few alarms inside gyuvin's head. "i can't see him again tonight, no."
worried about what it was, he decided to keep listening by your door. "you know why! my boyfriend will be furious!"
deciding not to let this carry on further, gyuvin pushed the door open. "[y/n]?"
"oh, gyuvin!" to your surprise, gyuvin stood by the entrance of your room. "you're home early!"
you ended the phone call and tried to give him a hug, but to your shock, gyuvin merely pushed you away
"what were you talking about?" it was the first time you heard gyuvin talk so seriously. it was so unlike him to be so somber
"hm? oh me and my friend were just chatting.." you said, and it was pretty obvious that you were hiding something
"about what?" he pried, feeling incredibly nervous about the situation
"nothing! it was nothing, gyu."
"tell me the truth, [y/n]."
not wanting to push it, you finally tell him the truth
you sigh, "fine. my friend and i were talking about this cute puppy i've been visiting in the shelter near our campus. i've been wanting to adopt him but i didn't wanna say anything because i wanted to surprise you."
preparing for the worst, gyuvin was half-expecting that you were going to admit that you've been seeing someone else
but this was totally out of his expectations
he looked at you, dumbfounded and feeling a little shameful
"gyu?" you, meanwhile, were utterly confused "you good?"
he cleared his throat, "yeah. yeah i'm fine."
deciding not to tell you the truth (half because he was embarrassed, and half because he was scared he'd offend you if he found out that he suspected you of cheating) he leaves the topic alone
"what're you doing home so early?" before he could respond, you were leaving the room, "wait! lemme go get changed first, these clothes are pretty dirty."
without you in the room, gyuvin was left to laugh at himself for what had happened. he truly felt stupid, but he let it go, realizing that he could trust you, and that you were never gonna break his heart like that
"what are--? gyuvin, these are beautiful!" he heard you yell from the living room
oh, shoot! his surprise!
% . . park gunwook
thankful for finishing practice early that day, gunwook was exhausted
he just wanted to come home and rest since he hasn't had a day-off in a while
he was also looking forward to spending some time with you, even if it was only to nap or to chill in bed for the entire evening
entering your apartment, gunwook planned to go straight to your bedroom and nap for a while
but he realized you were in there, and that you were on the phone with someone
judging by your voice, he figured you were having an important discussion with someone, so he decided not to bother you
"no, we haven't talked yet." he heard you say on the phone
he tried his best not to eavesdrop, but with the apartment being small as it is, he was unable to avoid hearing your voice
"yeah, yeah i'll talk to him soon. i'll tell him that it's over."
gunwook couldn't help but to have a bad feeling about what you were saying
his exhaustion was causing him to overthink, add the fact that the two of you haven't talked in a good while
"no, he'll be fine. yeah i don't care."
hearing you say those words hurt him, and he knew he was probably being stupid in assuming things, but he couldn't help it
he was tired and just wanted to spend some time with you
so realizing that you might be breaking up with him was his last straw
"you're breaking up with me?" he burst through the door, entering your bedroom while you were still on the phone
"wha-- gunwook?" you quickly dropped the call. "what are you doing home so early?"
"you're breaking up with me." he repeated, but this time his voice was softer, his hands shaking as his fought his tears
"i'm not, what are you talking ab--" you realize it then
"wook, you weren't, i wasn't talking about you!" you couldn't help but to let out a soft laugh
you tried your best to stay serious, seeing as gunwook was having a conundrum inside his head right now, but you couldn't help but to find the situation a little funny
"i was talking about my dad!" you exclaim
he stood there, staring at you with a confused expression. what were you talking about?
"i found out that i failed one of my classes, so i was talking with my friend about it. she asked me if i told my dad yet, and i said i'll tell him the news."
when your words sunk in, he grimaced in embarrassment. "oh."
you laughed, moving to give him a tight hug. "aw wookie, did you think i was gonna break up with you?"
feeling kinda sheepish, he rubbed his nape. "yeah.."
"i would never!"
it was safe to say that you two ended up cuddled in bed all night, with gunwook refusing to let you leave his arms
you'd rather stay in them, anyway
% . . han yujin
having finished practice early, yujin made a beeline straight to your house right after
the two of you haven't hung out recently, and he made a promise to you a while back that you'll spend a day together once he had free time. perfect timing!
yujin planned to play video games and to just chat with you the entire day, but he couldn't call or message you because his phone battery died that morning
regardless, he made his way to your house, entering on his own since yujin was pretty much a regular at your place now
however, that particular day, you were on a call with another friend
and yujin didn't want to be rude, so he stayed put outside your door, waiting for the right time to enter
his proximity to your room made him susceptible to hearing your phone call
so even though he didn't mean to, he could hear everything you were saying
"yeah, no. he's alright, i guess." it seemed like you were talking about someone "no he's okay! but.. i dunno."
now curious about the conversation, yujin listened in
"he's nice! but i don't like him that much." you said "he's kinda immature, y'know? definitely not a good trait for a guy his age."
now yujin didn't want to assume things, but his hopes were getting pretty low. were you guys talking about him?
unfortunately, before yujin could leave, your eyes meet and he freezes on his spot
"oh, yujin!" you exclaim, surprised to see him after such a long time
bidding goodbye to your friend on your phone, you gesture for yujin to come in
"when did you get here? i thought you were busy!"
"yeah, haha. practice ended early so i came here.." he explained. you could tell that something was wrong, but you didn't wanna pry, so instead you asked him about something else
"how's training by the way? can't believe i'm best friends with a future idol!" you proudly say
hearing this, he can't help but to scoff, thinking that you were being sarcastic
your eyebrows furrow in confusion. "what?"
"nothing." he says
"there's gotta be something if you're acting like that. c'mon, tell me."
he sighs, deciding to be truthful to you. "fine. i heard you on the phone. do you really think i'm that immature?"
you don't respond for a while, trying to put the pieces together. yujin must've took it the wrong way
"y'know what, i'll just go home."
"no, wait!" you grab his wrist, stopping him. finally, you put two and two together. "did you think we were talking about you?"
"who else would you talk about?" he grumbled
you huffed, "we were talking about spiderman! my friend and i were arguing which spiderman we liked best and i said i didn't like tom holland's spiderman because he's kinda immature."
he blinked, stunned for a few seconds. "oh?"
you laughed, playfully hitting him in the arm. "you think i was talking trash about you behind your back?"
he rolled his eyes, but laughed with you anyway. he agreed that it was pretty stupid for him to think that way
but he was glad that you weren't badmouthing him anyway.
"whatever, i'm sorry."
"it's fine." you gave him a small hug
"but how can you not like tom holland's spiderman???? he's like the best one!"
"here we go again."

[ 🎧 ] now playing . . places we won’t walk by bruno major
a/n: been in an angsty mood lately, so i wrote this. lol. yujin’s not included in this because of the relationship trope.
Tumblr media
% . . kim jiwoong :: right person, wrong time
jiwoong was your boyfriend of three years
but you had known each other for nearly five years
he courted you for nearly two years, and was probably the happiest man on earth when you agreed to be his s/o three years ago
for the majority of your relationship, everything was smooth
jiwoong treated you better than any other man, and you were his home
but some things don’t last forever
more utc.
as time passed, the two of you got busier
you had to focus on your studies, jiwoong needed to focus on his career
date nights turned into late nights alone at home
celebrations turned into forgotten marks on the calendar
daily “i love you”s turned into silence
the two of you knew the relationship had run its course already
but you were both afraid to face the truth
until one night, when you waited for jiwoong to come home after midnight
practice ended late, so he came home later than usual
so seeing you waiting for him at 2 am, he knew it was time
the two of you say nothing for a while, cherishing what time left you two had
until you decided to break the silence
“we can’t continue on like this, jiwoong.”
a small part of you was hoping he’d disagree with you, that he would argue back and fight, fight for you to remain in his life
but a bigger part of you knew that he couldn’t
“i’m sorry.” was all he said
tears threatened to pour out of your eyes, but you fought them, wanting to end your relationship on a brighter note
enveloping him in a tight hug, you two spend nearly five minutes in each others’ arms
until you pulled away
“i love you.” he said, “i’ll never stop.”
“i know.” was all you replied with “it’ll be okay.”
you leave him one last kiss, and he lets you go, watching you walk out of that door, wishing you’d turn around and run back to him
the tears finally pour out, a sob threatening to escape your throat as you walked out into the porch
all the while, jiwoong watched with his heart shattered inside his chest, as the one thing he considered home left him forever
% . . zhang hao :: falling out of love
the first time zhanghao met you, he immediately fell head over heels
he was so mesmerized by you; your beauty, your personality— everything
he wasted no time in pursuing you. he asked you out on a date, then another, and another
until you both decided to make it official
the beginning of your relationship was akin to bliss
with zhanghao doting on you at every given moment, making sure that you were loved and cared for
he would always go out of his way to provide you with everything
he was nothing short of the perfect boyfriend
until, after a few months, you noticed all of the changes
they were small— at first
back then, zhanghao would always respond to your calls and texts with such speed, never letting you wait for him to respond
but recently, he would reply hours later, and wouldn’t return your calls until a day after
you didn’t make a big deal out of it at first
but it got worse
zhanghao barely reached out to talk to you
he never visited, never asked to see you at school— nothing
the gifts you used to receive from him out of the blue suddenly stopped
the parties and events you used to attend with him turned into just you attending by yourself
you tried to convince yourself that he was just busy, he’s probably occupied with school or work
but by the time the third month of stone silence passed
you had enough
you drove to zhanghao’s place, demanding to see him
having a spare key, you barged inside, only to see him just merely playing games in his room
annoyed, he snaps at you, “what the hell are you doing?!”
before you came in here, you had a whole speech prepared for when you were face to face
but now, standing in front of the man you used to love— the man that used to love you,
you couldn’t remember a thing
“can’t you tell that i’m busy?” zhanghao exclaimed, pointing towards his computer screen
“we’re over.” was the only thing you said
you walked out, running out of his house
you half-hoped that zhanghao would run after you
that he’s stop you from leaving, apologize for everything and that everything would turn back to normal
but. nothing.
no one came
with tears pouring down your face, you ran and left
and never came back
% . . sung hanbin :: unrequited love
hanbin was one of your closest friends
you two grew up together, with your parents being close
ever since you two were kids, you always admired hanbin
you adored him so much, always following him wherever he went
it took you twenty years to realize that you were in love with him
you had never been in love with anyone else, you never even considered it
hanbin was the only guy you were ever interested in, and you feared that he might actually be the only one ever
but who could blame you?
one look at him and anyone would fall
you loved everything about hanbin, his smile, his laugh, the way his eyes shine whenever he talks about anything that he likes
you wanted to confess your feelings to him so bad
but you knew that it wasn’t going to end well for you
in your two decades of friendship, hanbin has never shown any romantic interest for you
he treats you like his little sibling
so you knew that you had no chance
but, one random day, you managed to grow the courage to tell him
you were tired of pining for him in silence, and just wanted to let your feelings out
so you invited him over and told him to meet you in your backyard that night
with the stars twinkling above you both, you hoped for the best
“hanbin.” you began. “i’m in love with you.”
he stared at you for a while, shocked at what he heard
your heart was beating right out of your chest, and you felt like passing out
you prayed with all of your might for hanbin to tell you the words you’ve always wished to hear; “i love you.”
but alas, hanbin doesn’t say it.
“oh [y/n],” he says, voice solemn. “i’m sorry..”
and that was all of the confirmation you needed
tears immediately formed in your ehyes, and you forced to swallow the huge lump in your throat
“it’s okay.” you say. “i gotta.. go..”
you turned around and walked away from your own backyard, tears pouring down your cheeks the moment you turn your back from hanbin
hanbin, left alone in your backyard, hoping that you were okay, and wishing that he could love you the way you did him
but he couldn’t, no matter how hard he tried
% . . seok matthew :: just friends
matthew was your bestest friend in the whole world
he knew you like the back of his hand, and you him
the two of you were inseparable
wherever one was, the other would always follow
so it wasn’t a mystery as to how you fell in love with him
matthew was the textbook definition of a perfect gentleman
he always treated you so kindly
walking you home after school, pulling out the chair for you to sit in, opening every door for you
he treated you like a princess
and just like that, you slowly fell for the man you’ve known for nearly ten years
and at first, you never did address or face any of your feelings, far too afraid of its circumstances
you were okay with being just friends with matthew, because you’d rather have that than nothing
but sometimes, you found yourself wishing for more
wishing to be more than just his best friend
you wanted to call him yours, and you longed to be his more than anything else
but no matter how much your heart begged, you could never walk up to him and admit it
so you stood behind, and watched him from the side
always there whenever he needed you
until one day, he ran to you bearing news
“she said yes!” he said
you felt your heart drop down to your feet, “what?”
“i asked rei out on a date and she said yes! [y/n], this could be it!”
he was smiling and laughing, and you knew he was feeling ecstatic with the way his eyes crinkled everytime he laughed
your heart shattered. you always dreaded this day, but nothing could have prepared you for the actual time matthew found someone else
“that’s great.” you replied, a bitter taste leaving your tongue as you spoke. “i’m happy for you.”
oblivious to your heartbreak, matthew hugs you tight
“thanks [y/n]! i know you always have my back.”
you laughed bitterly, feeling a lump in your throat.
“i do.” you replied. “i’m always here for you.”
% . . kim taerae :: long distance
taerae was your highschool sweetheart
the two of you got into a relationship when you were only sixteen
when you were both merely in highschool
you were so young yet so in love
it baffled you to think that you would’ve already met the one you wanna spent your entire life with at such a young age
but what wasn’t to love about taerae? he was kind, caring and sweet
he prioritized you over everything else, and he was never selfish
he always made sure that he was taking your feelings into consideration in every decision he made
but time came, when you were both in college,
taerae was offered to be part of the special exchange program in your university
as one of the smartest students in campus, taerae was offered to be sent to america to continue his program
he wanted to decline at first, in fear of leaving his family, his friends and his life
and of course, he was afraid of leaving you behind
but you told him not to worry, that you’d be okay
and besides, it wasn’t like the two of you would stop talking, right?
the opportunity was too good to pass on, so taerae accepted the offer
he would spend the next four years and america, and you, back in korea, waiting for his return
the two of you tried to make it work
texting and calling everyday, updating each other over the littlest things
but with the different timezones, the busy schedules, and with all of the other things in your life that you had to handle
suddenly, taerae could no longer prioritize you
and you didn’t want to be selfish, either
but waiting for your phone to ring at night only for you to wake up in the morning with not even a message was starting to hurt
you tried to talk to him about it, but there was nothing he could do
his studies had to be first. then his family second. he couldn’t leave his friends in the US either
so where did that leave you?
so on a cold winter night in korea, you called him, with tears in your eyes as he met you with a sullen expression
“this isn’t working out anymore, tae.” you said
“[y/n], baby we can work this out—“ he tried to fight it, but you both knew that there was nothing left to fight for anymore
“no, we can’t.” by then, you were crying, all of the accumulated frustration finally bursting from you.
“three more years, [y/n]. can’t you wait for three more years?” taerae asked
and it might’ve been selfish, but you couldn’t, not anymore
“i’m tired, tae.” you said
taerae said nothing, then, understanding that there was nothing he could do or say that would change your mind
“i’m sorry.” there were so much more he wanted to say, but he couldn’t find the words
“i’m sorry, too.” with a heavy heart, you ended the call, throwing your phone away as you cried
if only things were easier for you both, maybe you could’ve tried again.
% . . shen quanrui :: better off alone
ricky was one of the most attractive men you’ve ever set your eyes on
you met him in a party, amidst all of the random, unappealing men trying to hit on you
ricky was one of the only ones who kept their distance
who merely looked at you, but said nothing
for some reason, you were attracted to him almost immediately, so you went up to him for a conversation
almost immediately, you two clicked
you had a lot in common, and shared a lot of interests with each other
you spent the entire night getting to know one another
and the next thing you knew, his number was on your phone
you spent a few weeks going out on dates and talking over the phone
before you both decided to make it official
the first few weeks were fine
ricky introduced you to his friends, and you introduced him to yours
he took you out on multiple dates, bought you countless gifts and made sure that he treated you right
you felt the sparks of what could’ve been a long-term relationship
but things wouldn’t last forever
soon enough, you started to have disagreements with ricky
those disagreements turned into arguments, and those arguments turned into full blown fights
you couldn’t go out on dates without the two of you fighting over something
and even if you spent time with each other’s company, you would spend most of it in silence
because if any of you talked, you both knew you’d just end up arguing
you weren’t sure when it started to change, but you knew that your relationship wasn’t the same anymore
and you also knew that it was better to end it sooner than later
on a sullen morning, you came up to ricky’s apartment to talk
“what do you want?” ricky said, voice empty of any love or care.
“we need to break up.” you said, wanting to get your point across directly
albeit you knew ricky’s love had changed, you weren’t expecting him to react so coldly with your words
“sure.” was the only thing he said.
“is that all you have to say?” you asked, already feeling upset
“what? you wanna hear something else from me?” he mocked
the sliver of affection you felt for ricky finally slipped away, and was now replaced by bitterness
“i hate you.” you said, turning around and walking away
even though you walked out of his apartment curdling with rage, deep down, you could feel sadness, too
sadness over the good times you’ve spent with ricky
mere memories now, that it’s all over
but maybe, it was better for the both of you this way
% . . kim gyuvin :: there’s someone else
you’ve had a crush on gyuvin for years now
ever since you knew him in middle school, you’ve always idolized him
what was not to like? not only was gyuvin incredibly attractive,
he was one of the kindest boys you’ve ever known in your life
he genuinely cared about people, and was never one to be rude or disrespectful towards everyone
you weren’t close to him, but he’s known you since middle school, too
although he treated you like a friend, part of you wants more
you’ve always wanted to confess, to just tell him what you feel
mostly because you just wanted to get it over with
but a part of you couldn’t help but to have hope
that maybe, just maybe, gyuvin felt the same way for you, too
so, in high school, you tried to let him know
you did it in stages; first, you got closer to him, befriended him in the halls when he saw you during the first day of classes
you anonymously wrote him letters, sliding them inside his locker
you bought him gifts, and sent him flowers during special occassions
and even asked your other friends to hand him snacks and treats during soccer practice
all throughout the year, you carried out your plan, only to confess at the last day of the first school year
so when time came, you send him an anonymous letter, asking him to meet you at the rooftop
and when he came, you were already there, waiting
his shock at seeing you wasn’t the only thing he felt that day, because once he was there, your nervousness kicked in
“gyuvin, i have something to tell you.” you began, your mouth moving faster than your brain.
“i’ve always wanted to say this and i feel like now might be—“
“i’m sorry, [y/n] but let me stop you there.” he placed a gentle hand on your shoulder
“y-yeah?” you replied with a hopeful heart
“i really appreciate all this, and i’m glad that it was you who was sending me all those stuff, but,” he said, “i have a girlfriend.”
your heart broke at his words, and you felt so empty you couldn’t even hear the rest of his words.
“—so i’m really, really sorry.” he frowned, an apologetic look plastered on his face. “are you ok?”
“y-yeah!” you cleared your throat, trying to swallow the lump that had formed there a second ago. “it’s okay! no worries.”
“you sure?” he asked, and you wanted to cuss him out for being so caring like this
because maybe then, you wouldn’t have fallen for him this hard
“mhm.” you let out a dry laugh. “i-i gotta go. sorry for wasting your time.”
“[y/n], wait—“ before he could stop you, you were already walking away and out of the rooftop
you hoped he wouldn’t follow, because it would have been even more embarrassing for him to witness you sob and cry while you ran away
you wanted to yell at him so bad for making you hurt like this
but then again, it wasn’t his fault
you were the dumb one who fell in love with someone who was never gonna be yours
what else could have he done?
% . . park gunwook :: first loves never last
you and gunwook knew each other when you were both toddlers
you met him in kindergarten, back when you didn’t even know what love was and could barely spell out your own name
he was a little mean to you, at first
as a child, he would often tease you and push you around
and you’d often be found crying, running to your mom and dad whining gun’ook pushed me!!
gunwook couldn’t help it, for some unknown reason, he just loved to play with you so much
but as you two grew older, gunwook realized it was because he liked you a little too much to be considered platonic
so when you were in middle school, gunwook took a leap of faith and decided to confess to you
you were both only fourteen, but you knew that you had feelings for him as well
you accepted his confession, and in return admitted to him that you felt the same way
he was ecstatic, absolutely in the clouds when you told him
the two of you decided not to do anything about for now, since you were both so young
you figured you’d label your relationship in the future, maybe after high school
so you two continued on— focusing on your individual lives together
you were still the best of friends, and gunwook continued to treat you the same
he continued to tease you a lot, and even pulled a few pranks on you here and there
you didn’t have the heart to tell him to stop, because you knew that that was the way he expressed his love
but gunwook would always make sure that you were alright
he’d pick you up after your classes, take you to a hole-in-the-wall ramen shop and buy you all of the food you wanted to eat
he’d take you to school events, gushing about how pretty you were in a dress and how lucky he was to be your date
you couldn’t have been more happy
things remained the same for years
until your final year of high school came
you and gunwook were still close but because you’ve both been busy with your final year, you haven’t had the time to hang out or see each other
you were busy studying for college entrance exams, while gunwook spent most of his time at school
he barely got to see you, and you weren’t replying much to his texts either so he just let you be
he respected your time and didn’t want to bother you. he knew how important your studies were, so he let you be
but things got worse soon after
during the times he’d invite you out, you’d always decline and say you were busy studying
while in your short breaks, you tried to ask him over, only for him to decline and say he’s hanging out with his friends
soon enough, the two of you stopped inviting the other out
until you eventually stopped talking all together
the day of your exams were nearing, and you were more busy than ever
but you wanted to talk to gunwook one last time
so when he said yes, and came right over to your house, you were delighted
“[y/n].” he greeted you. “how have you been?”
“alright, i guess.” you responded. “stressed. my exams are soon.”
“i remember.” he said. “you’ve been awful busy.”
“i know.” you sighed. “i’m really sorry—“
“i understand.” gunwook says. “i get it, yeah. it’s really important to you.”
you frowned. it was only then did it sink in how much you’ve neglected gunwook. he’d waited for you for months, and here you were.
“but,” gunwook continued. “i wanna be important to you too.”
the guilty kept creeping in. “you are important to me.”
“doesn’t seem like it, anymore.” he sighed.
you didn’t know what to say next, so you both sat there in silence.
you tried to think of something that would convince gunwook to forgive you, but you knew that everything was your fault.
if only you could’ve given him more attention, then maybe—
“—maybe it’s better this way.” gunwook says. “i don’t think we’re good for each other anymore, anyway.”
“what are you saying?” you asked.
“i’m saying it’s not the same anymore, [y/n].” he says “maybe we aren’t meant for each other.”
you felt your heart shatter at his words.
“i’m sorry, [y/n].” he stood up and began to leave. “i hope you pass your exams.”
and with that, he left
you remain there, sitting and feeling empty, as if when gunwook left, he took your heart with you
deep down, you knew he did
you just wished you would’ve taken his with you, too.

cooking with ricky . . ?!
☆! shen quanrui x gn!reader. fluff. mentions of blood, cuts and injuries. requested.
Tumblr media
you’ve been in a relationship with ricky for a while now
but you haven’t had the time to hang out in your apartment with just the two of you
busy with debut preparations, ricky basically had little time for dates
which you understood
so one morning, on a busy day of his, you decided to surprise him
more under the cut.
you woke up earlier than usual, leaving ricky on his own in your shared bedroom
you were planning to surprise him by preparing breakfast before he left for the day
you were already in the kitchen, busy beating eggs while a pot of water was boiling in the stove,
when you felt a pair of arms wrapping themselves around your waist
you nearly jump in surprise, but end up giggling once you feel ricky’s sleepy figure leaning against you
“g’mornin’” he’s mutter, voice still hoarse from slumber
“what’cha making?” he asks, and you respond that you’re making him breakfast
“can i help?” he’d ask, and even though you had some doubts about his cooking skills,
one look with his wide, pleading eyes would make you say yes
i mean who could deny that man anything
so you both spend a good half hour making breakfast
in the messiest way possible
ricky, although helpful, was not the cleanest person when it comes to cooking, you found out
he’d be mixing pancake batter and end up with flour and eggs on his shirt
he was also pretty clumsy
you’d ask him to chop some onions and he’d end up cutting his own finger
“ow.” even though it was just a small, tiny cut, he’d definitely whine and pout about it
“it hurts.” he’d grumble to you. “kiss it better?”
honestly you weren’t even sure if he was a help or a hindrance to you
but you eventually finish cooking and the two of you eat together in the living room
because ricky trashed the kitchen so much it was physically impossible to eat in there anymore
ricky offers to help clean up, but you tell him he doesn’t have to
plus he already has to get ready for practice since he needs to leave soon
he frowns when you say this, his shoulders slouching in sadness
you try to hug him in comfort, but the two of you only end up cuddling on the sofa
“i wanna stay in with you.” he mutters against your neck, whining about how he doesn’t want to go
you have to go remind him that he can’t skip practice, not when they were so close to their debut
and he agrees
so he reluctantly lets you go and starts getting ready to leave
meanwhile you busy yourself with cleaning up the kitchen
when you finish, you find ricky dressed and ready to go in the living room
he leaves you a kiss and a tight hug
“thank you for the breakfast, baby”
he tells you he’ll be in charge for dinner later as compensation for messing up the kitchen
but you tell him not to worry about it
half because you’re worried he’ll burn the apartment if you let him cook on his own
“i’ll just bring home takeout.” he says
you laugh, and he leaves for the day, excited to come back home to you tonight
