one reblog = one (almost) engagement ring
Tumblr media
you shut your laptop closed and groan, putting your head in your hands. this was never going to work.
you’ve spent the better part of your day off on websites like amazon, macy’s, even walmart, trying to find the perfect gift for seokmin.
despite being together almost seven months now, it’s the first time you’ll be spending christmas together. and… you have absolutely no idea what to get him.
first you thought about getting him some little gadget for his computer at work, maybe a new keyboard or a cute new mouse pad. but then you remembered how he told you in passing the other day how he couldn’t stand how his job had him hunched over his computer all day, and he was thinking about looking for a new one where he wouldn’t have to be on it so much.
then you thought you might get him a nice framed picture of the two of you, something small to keep in his apartment for when you’re not there. but when you came over last weekend, the first thing he did was show you the digital photo frame he found in his closet that his mom got him for his birthday that he’d forgotten about. he was stoked to “finally be able to put it to good use” and had programmed it with dozens of pictures of the two of you.
you’d tried google. you’d looked at every gift-giving website under the sun. you’d even asked your best friend what she was getting for her boyfriend for christmas to see if it might spark an idea. 
but everything you come across is either something he already has, something he doesn’t need, or something he could easily get on his own.
so… you were stuck. thoroughly and completely stuck.
meanwhile, unbeknownst to you, seokmin is currently on the other side of town, running through the mall in a panic, trying to figure out what to get you.
he knows he shouldn’t have waited until three days before christmas to get his holiday shopping done, but he’s been busy– there’s a huge promotion up at his job, and he’s doing everything he can to get it. not only would it mean less sitting at his desk all day and more moving around, it would also mean a big raise, so you can finally move in together like you both have been wanting to. now that would be a perfect christmas present if he gets the position, but he won’t find out if he has or not until the new year, so that rules that out. 
it’s your first christmas together, so he really wants to go all out. winter is his favorite season, and now he gets to spend it with his favorite person, so why wouldn’t he make it something extravagant? except… he can’t find anything to get you.
so here he is at the mall downtown, ducking into every store and searching for something, anything that might give him an idea of a gift you might like.
he doesn’t wanna buy you clothes, because that’s lame, and also because he doesn’t wanna get something that’s not guaranteed you’ll like. what if you think the fabric is too itchy, or you don’t like the pattern? returning or even exchanging his gift would mean a big failure.
he doesn’t wanna buy you the trinkets he found at that one gift shop, because even though they are cute, they’re not special enough to get for you. these are the type of things he’d pick up for you on his way home from work as an everyday treat, or at the very most, a stocking stuffer; you deserve more than some cheap little thing he found on a whim.
he thought about getting you a new purse, because you said you’ve been needing one since the strap on your current one broke, but he’s pretty sure you already bought yourself one when your boss gave you an amazon gift card as a thank-you for all the overtime you’ve been doing lately.
it seems like everything he thinks of to get you is a dumb idea. so now he’s stuck. thoroughly and completely stuck.
you sigh, pulling out your phone and scrolling through your gallery, praying that one of the photos is hiding some kind of sign that’ll tell you exactly what to buy him. but as expected, there’s no magic word or wish list or qr code that leads to the perfect gift.
you’re just about to give up and call him and just ask him what he wants, when an idea hits you. calling him would be admitting to him you can’t think of something special to give him, but calling his friends… now that, that might get you somewhere. they’ve known him for way longer than you have, they must have some idea of things he likes or might want.
you quickly dial the number of his friend minghao. you’ve only met him a few times at some get-togethers, but he seems like the most responsible out of his group, and the most likely to give you a helpful answer.
he picks up on the first ring, but the voice that answers… isn’t minghao?
“hello seokmin’s girlfriend! this is minghao’s phone, how can i help you!”
“junhui, i told you to stop touching my phone!” you hear a voice in the background that you guess is minghao.
“fi-ine,” the first voice—junhui?—grumbles, and you hear a shuffling noise as you assume the phone is being passed back to its owner.
minghao sighs. “hi. sorry about him. what’s up?”
you try not to laugh at the phone mix-up. “just, uh, have a question for you.”
“mhm?” he prods.
“has… seok mentioned anything he wants for christmas? or, like, is there anything you know he needs?” you ask, hoping it sounds nonchalant.
he hums. “mm, not really. are you trying to come up with a christmas gift for him?”
you whine. “yeah. but i’ve tried everything, i can’t think of a single good thing to give him.”
minghao pauses. “he’s really sentimental, but you probably already figured that out by now. the best i can suggest is something homemade, or something related to some kind of memory you have together. he’d like that.”
you freeze. “i… i think i’ve got an idea,” you say jumping up from your chair. “you’re the best, minghao, i owe you big time for this.”
“don’t worry about it. merry christmas.”
you hang up the phone and open your laptop again. this just might work.
Tumblr media
you hadn’t planned on spending this much on seokmin’s present, but why not go all out? sure, you’ll have to cut back on your morning coffee for a couple weeks, but it’ll be worth it to see the look on his face on christmas morning.
at the same time, across town seokmin’s just walking out of the jewelry store, a shiny velvet box tucked into his jacket pocket. it’s a lot more than he wanted to pay for it, but it’s better than showing up empty-handed. besides, if that promotion comes through like he hopes, he’ll pay it off in no time. it might have cost a small fortune, but he just knows it’ll look so pretty on you. he can’t wait to see you wear it.
Tumblr media
christmas eve finally rolls around and you’re standing outside the door to seokmin’s apartment, your arms full of bags for the weekend you’re spending with him.
his entire face lights up the second he opens the door, and he squeezes you in a tight hug before giving you a soft kiss. “hi baby,” he says, almost shyly. “merry christmas.”
he grabs the bags from you to carry them inside, and you give him another kiss. “merry christmas.”
he takes your things back to his room to set them down, then comes back out into the living room, wrapping his arms around you again. “i’m so glad you get to be here,” he says quietly.
“mm. me too.”
the room is quiet, besides the faint honking of cars outside. you snuggle up on the couch together, picking out a movie to watch, the dim lights casting a soft glow around the apartment.
“do you wanna open your present now?” he asks when the screen turns black and the credits slowly roll past.
“seok, you have to wait until christmas! we can’t open all our presents tonight!” you giggle, and he pouts.
“please?” he says, looking up at you with those big, pleading eyes you adore so much. 
“fine,” you concede. “but only one! or else we won’t have anything to open in the morning.”
he grins and gets down on the floor beside the couch, crawling over to the tree to grab a small wrapped box nestled into the bottom branches. he comes back over and sits at the base of the couch, putting one knee up as he hands you the box.
he grins up at you as you tear open the wrapping paper, revealing the soft velvet jewelry box.
you look down at him, and he nods eagerly, motioning for you to open it. you hesitate. it definitely looks expensive, way more than you would’ve wanted him to spend on you. but you did pay almost $300 renting the place for his gift, so you write it off as being even.
you delicately pry the box open with your fingernail, revealing a breathtaking ring absolutely covered in diamonds and intricate silver gilding. it gleams even in the low light, sitting in its little velvet box, staring up at you.
you gasp, throwing your hand over your mouth. “seokmin, what the fuck is this!?”
his smile instantly drops, the color draining from his cheeks. “do you not like it? i can probably still return it, i have the receipt–”
“no!” you shout, and he jumps, eyes wide. “no,” you repeat, calmer this time. “no, i love it. it’s gorgeous. i just– i thought we were doing… small presents first?” you stutter, still in shock at the beautiful piece of jewelry in your shaking hands.
he blushes. “i… wanted you to wear it now,” he murmurs.
you study him, and suddenly you realize he’s still down on the carpet on one knee. and everything finally clicks.
you scream as you jump up from the couch. “seokmin, you’re not proposing, are you?” you gasp.
“no?” he stammers, confused why you’d think he is, before realizing himself that he looks… well, he definitely looks like he’s proposing.
he hurriedly puts his knee down, sitting flat on the carpet. “i’m not! i’m not. this is just a really nice ring, i swear,” he rushes to explain. “at least, not yet,” he mumbles under his breath, but you don’t hear him. you’re still focused on the fact that there’s more diamonds in this ring than you can count on one hand.
you’re still standing in front of him, mouth hanging open, and he’s starting to get worried because you haven’t said a word in a few minutes. “do you want me to propose?” he asks hesitantly. because, screw it, he’s already got the nice ring; if you’re ready, then he’s ready, might as well—
“no! i mean, yes, i do, i really do, but not right now, i…” you trail off, not sure how to continue.
the room is silent, both of you staring at each other. after a minute he stands up, taking his seat back on the couch. “oh no,” he says, finally breaking the silence with a groan. “i ruined this, didn’t i?”
“no,” you sigh, having recovered enough from the shock to sit next to him again. “no, of course not. i’m just… surprised. i wasn’t expecting this. it must’ve cost a fortune.”
“it’s rude to ask someone the price of a gift, you know,” he says, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
“trust me, i’m not asking,” you laugh. “i don’t even wanna know.”
“can… can i put it on you?” he asks, his voice getting soft again.
you look at him, and then at the glittering diamond ring in his hand, and you can’t not accept it. you nod, letting out a quiet “mhm” in agreement.
your eyes start to water as he slides it onto your finger, and he looks up worriedly when you sniffle. “it’s so pretty, oh my god,” you whisper, more to yourself than to him.
“please don’t cry,” he says softly, and he looks so upset that you have to reassure him you’re not mad and you just really, really like your gift. 
you admire how it looks on your finger for a second before you scoot closer to him and wrap your arms around him.
“i love it, baby,” you murmur. “you really didn’t have to do this.”
he hums. “but i wanted to. i wanted to show you how much i love you.”
tears well up in your eyes again, and you bury your face in his neck to hide them. “you already show me. every single day.”
he sighs, a happy sigh, relaxing into your arms. “i’m glad you like it.”
you stay like that for a while, gently rocking back and forth on the couch, peacefully enjoying everything. the scent of his cologne wafts around you, a comforting, familiar smell, and the colorful lights of the christmas tree shine softly in the background. you wouldn’t want to spend christmas anywhere else.
you pull away a little, breaking the silence with a short laugh. “mine’s gonna look so stupid compared to yours,” you pout as you snuggle into his side, leaning your head against his shoulder.
“are you gonna make me wait until tomorrow to open it?” he asks, rubbing his hand up and down your arm.
“no,” you sigh. “it’s probably after midnight by now, anyway.” you lift yourself out of his arms, going back into his room to get his present from one of your bags.
it’s a lightweight little box, and you hand it down to him. the gift itself isn’t big in size, but you know he likes taking the wrapping off, so you put it in a box and wrapped it for him.
he waits for you to come sit beside him again, and he opens it, carefully tearing the red and green paper with a grin on his face.
he opens the box, revealing a small piece of paper. he looks back at you. “baby? what’s this?”
your cheeks heat up as you begin to explain, suddenly feeling shy about your gift. “well, i… i rented out the movie theater we went to on our first date, and i thought it would be fun to, just… spend the day there, i don’t know.” you trail off, looking down at your hands, until seokmin takes them in his own.
when you look back up at him, his smile is so wide, it almost looks like it hurts. “i love it,” he beams, his voice breaking a little. “that’s so thoughtful, honey. i really love it.”
he leans forward to squeeze you in a hug, and you can’t help but smile, too.
“this is the best christmas ever,” he sighs into your neck, holding you tightly against him. “love you so much.”
he sits back, pulling you onto his lap facing him. “do you know where i got the ring from?” he asks suddenly, locking his hands behind your lower back.
you look at him. “um, kay? it says it on the box.”
he grins. “and?”
you frown in confusion. “and… what?”
the tips of his ears turn pink. “y’know, their slogan? ‘every kiss begins with kay’? from the commercials?”
you blink at him.
he groans, rolling his head back. “can i just kiss you now, please?”
you giggle, throwing your arms around his neck and rubbing your nose against his. “fine.”
and just as he’s about to, his pocket vibrates, and he pulls out his phone.
“my… boss?” he says, confused, showing you the screen.
you whine, resting your chin on his shoulder. “what does he want that can’t wait? it’s one in the morning on christmas eve– well, technically christmas morning, now.”
he looks at you with pleading eyes, and you sigh. “you can answer it. quickly, though, please?”
he presses a kiss to your cheek in thanks before sliding the button to accept the call, holding the phone up to his other ear. “hello?”
you can’t hear what’s being said on the other line, so you close your eyes, worn out from the night’s big surprises. you have a lot to do tomorrow—today—and you’ll need sleep if you want to spend the whole day with him like you want to.
seokmin sits up suddenly, startling you. you lean back, looking at him, wordlessly asking if something’s wrong. but he’s beaming, his smile so bright you’d think he’d just been told he won the lottery, and you crease your eyebrows in confusion.
he stays on the phone for another minute, listening intently. “thank you so much. merry christmas,” he says finally, then hangs up, tossing his phone to the other end of the couch.
“what? what is it?” you ask, still concerned despite his giddy expression.
he settles back, his hands sliding to your waist and holding you up on his lap. “i just got some news,” he says, and you know he’s being vague on purpose to draw out the suspense.
you pout. “well, are you gonna tell me, or not!”
he giggles, unable to hold it back any longer. “i got the promotion!” he yells.
your mouth falls open. “what promotion?” you ask, tentative.
“i didn’t wanna say anything unless i was sure, but there’s been a position available at the company, and they wanted to hire someone from within,” he says excitedly. “it wasn’t guaranteed that i’d get it, but i did! i got the promotion!”
“aw, seok! i’m so proud of you, baby,” you smile, leaning down to kiss him.
he pulls away after a second, and you look at him expectantly. “i have more news,” he says with a grin.
“and?”
“and… it comes with a big raise, so we’ll finally be able to afford a place together,” he beams, rubbing his hands up and down your back.
you bite your bottom lip to stop it from trembling, and feel your eyes well up with tears, spilling down your cheeks.
he calls your name softly, and you look up at him. “are you… what do you think?” he asks, his big eyes searching your watery ones.
“i– i’m just so happy,” you stammer, leaning down to hug him again. “i love you so much. this is more than i could’ve ever asked for.” you bury your face in his neck, letting your tears of joy fall onto his sweater.
“merry christmas, honey.”

one reblog = one best friend turned boyfriend
Tumblr media
“won, i need a favor.”
your sweet voice spouts from the speaker on wonwoo’s phone, and he grins. it’s always a good day when he gets to hear your voice. “what kind of favor?”
“i need you to be my boyfriend for christmas.”
he raises his eyebrows. “excuse me?”
“listen, just hear me out. please.”
the desperation in your voice is enough to make him pause and wait for you to explain. he’s known you long enough to know that you wouldn’t call out of nowhere and make a statement as crazy as this without good reason, but he still can’t say the offer isn’t… interesting.
when you realize he hasn’t hung up on you yet, you rush to tell him what happened.
“so, you remember i told you about kim mingyu, my coworker?” you start hurriedly.
“mhm,” he says, tone deadpan. he’s never liked mingyu, since the first time he hit on you at the party you held when you were first hired. it was your dream job, one you’d been working towards your whole life, and he was so incredibly proud of you. and you were proud too; you loved your job, except for one thing: your prick of a coworker, mingyu. sure, maybe he’d never technically done anything other than annoy you, but wonwoo had a bad feeling about him from the start.
“well, you know he keeps flirting with me and he wanted me to be his—date,” you whisper the last part, as if it’s a terrible secret, though wonwoo can’t understand why, “for the office christmas party, and—”
“why didn’t you tell him yes?” wonwoo interrupts, almost bitterly.
you frown into the phone at his response. why would he want you to say yes? “because? i don’t like him that way and he makes me vaguely uncomfortable? what more do you–”
“so why am i involved, then?” he interrupts again.
you narrow your eyes, though he can’t see you. “why are you being so bitchy?”
the silence you’re met with makes you furrow your eyebrows even more. “fine, i don’t need your help,” you huff, slamming the ‘end call’ button.
an awkward few seconds pass while you attempt to process what just happened, fighting back tears you’re too angry to cry.
the sound of your ringtone startles you out of your annoyance, and you hesitantly accept the call.
“what do you need me to do?”
Tumblr media
wonwoo still feels a little guilty about how he responded. after you’ve explained your plan, but it really isn’t his fault.
you want him to go with you to the annual christmas party and pretend to be your boyfriend so mingyu might finally get the message you’re not interested and leave you alone. take a couple pictures together to post online, get cozy at the open bar, go home together at the end of the night where wonwoo will drop you off at your house like nothing ever happened. a simple plan, over and done with in a few hours, max.
it really isn’t his fault because of the massive crush he’s had on you, his best friend, since you were teenagers. and yeah, maybe he’s been working up the courage to ask you out for the last six years and you basically doing it for him was a blow to his pride and he reacted badly. he doesn’t want to be your fake boyfriend, he wants to be your real boyfriend.
but you had asked him because you trusted him, and he wasn’t about to let you down, especially when someone like your bratty coworker was involved. maybe he’ll finally get it through his thick head that you’re too good for him, wonwoo thinks, maybe a bit more cruelly than the man deserves.
it had been a tuesday night when you’d called him, and as the days inch closer to the friday night party, he can’t help but grow more and more anxious.
would it be too forward if he treated this one-time thing like practice for the future (if he can ever bring himself to actually ask you)? or should he act stoic like he always does and pretend his heart isn’t beating out of his chest when he thinks about people seeing him with you and thinking you’re together?
he knows it’s not that formal of a party, more like after work drinks among coworkers, but some part of him wants to look his very best. maybe it’s some man thing, needing to show off in front of mingyu that might get him to back off. but maybe it’s not for mingyu at all; maybe it’s for you, like if he proves he’s attractive enough, then you might want him like he’s wanted you so badly all these years.
and yeah, maybe it’s crazy that he spent half his savings account on getting a custom-tailored suit for just a couple hours at some cheap bar in the city, but he’s never been one to back down from a challenge and he’s not about to start now. even if the challenge is only in his head.
Tumblr media
friday night rolls around before you know it, and as the clock counts down the minutes until wonwoo is supposed to show up at your front door and take you to the christmas party, you’re still standing frozen in front of your closet, struggling to find something to wear.
do you go all out and wear your sexiest cocktail dress? is that trying too hard? wouldn’t that have the opposite effect of what you’re trying to do here?
or, do you go for the wallflower approach and wear a simple, modest pantsuit, hoping you won’t be so boring you push wonwoo away for good?
unbeknownst to you, somewhere on the other side of town, wonwoo is having the same dilemma, wondering if all that money on a fancy outfit was really worth it.
you both sigh, anxious to get the night started and for it to end.
truthfully, the situation with mingyu isn’t nearly as massive as you’ve played it up to be. you wouldn’t dare admit it, but the crush you’ve had on wonwoo for ages is partially (totally) what inspired your not-so-genius plan to fake-date your best friend. in reality, what had happened was you’d let mingyu down gently, telling him you would rather just be friends because you were in a complicated situation with someone else. to his credit, he’d graciously withdrawn (not without a sly wink and an offer to call him should your “situation” fall through, of course.)
you finally decide on a dress in between the two extremes: not too flashy, not too plain. wonwoo sticks with the suit.
car lights shine through your front window fifteen minutes later, your cue of wonwoo’s arrival.
you smooth the folds of your dress down and take a deep breath, finally hearing the knock on your door.
wonwoo sucks in a breath when the door opens, revealing you standing there looking the most beautiful he’s ever seen. sure, he helped you get ready for senior prom, his aunt’s wedding, and that one frat party your junior year of college, but none of those times even come close to how amazing his best friend looks in front of him right now.
“hi,” he mumbles shyly, feeling as awkward as a teenager again.
“you look… really nice.” you stumble over your words, eyes fixated on the lapel of his suit. when did he get this hot? and where the hell has he been hiding that suit? it looks expensive...
“ready to go?” he asks, his low voice interrupting your thoughts.
your eyes shoot up from where you’d been staring at the way the suit accentuates his broad chest, embarrassed to have been caught.
“mhm,” you nod, following him out to the car. you really, really want to invite him in, but you don’t know if you’re strong enough to have him inside your house looking like that and not do something you’ll regret.
the drive to the bar is quiet, the car stereo barely audible in the background.
halfway there, wonwoo’s hand finds your lap, resting tentatively on your thigh, almost hovering over the exposed skin. when you settle back into your seat and make no moves to push him away, his grip gets just a little bit tighter.
Tumblr media
the bar is loud. that much you know from the second you first step inside.
you glance around, eyes immediately landing on mingyu talking to a group of women, all laughing exaggeratedly at something he said. you smile. maybe tonight will be easy. he won’t bother you again, not when he has so many other, better choices fawning over his every word. and maybe if you’re lucky, wonwoo might finally see what you’ve been trying to tell him all these years.
he leads you to the bar, swiveling a stool for you to sit as he leans against the counter next to you.
“so this is him, huh?” a voice calls from behind you.
you spin around on the barstool as wonwoo turns his head, imperceptibly narrowing his eyes.
none other than mingyu stands with a drink in his hand, grinning devilishly at the two of you.
wonwoo causally slips one arm around your waist, pulling you just barely closer to him. your heart races at the touch, but you keep your face stone still.
“yeah, this is… wonwoo,” you struggle to say.
“her boyfriend,” he adds after you, and you have to fight the urge to shiver in his arms. hearing him say those words feels like a dream, after so long imagining it, all the failed tinder matches you always pretended were him.
there’s a split second where you’re afraid one of the men might do something rash, but almost as quickly as it arrives, the tension dissipates as mingyu beams and sticks out his hand for wonwoo to shake. “nice to meet you, bro. heard a lot about you, you’re a lucky guy.” he looks him up and down casually, letting out a low whistle. “nice suit, by the way.”
your jaw drops, and wonwoo’s ears turn red next to you. he plasters on a smile, reaching over to shake the man’s hand. “funny, i’ve heard a lot about you, too,” he says, a little too calmly. your face flushes, and ooh boy you’re not looking forward to the conversation you’re about to have with him later.
sensing it might be best to leave, mingyu flashes another million dollar smile, nodding at wonwoo. “hope to see you around again, my man.”
“sure,” you squeak out, though he isn't even talking to you.
mingyu walks away, leaving you alone at the bar with your fake date. the building is full of chatter, but the silence between you feels deafening.
“this party’s kinda boring,” he says finally, leaning down to whisper in your ear. “why don’t we go somewhere and talk instead?”
all you can do is nod, unable to form any words as you follow him back outside to his car.
Tumblr media
the parking lot outside the bar is quiet as you both sit in silence, waiting for the other to speak.
“so… what did you wanna talk about?” you ask innocently. as if you don’t know exactly what went wrong.
“this wasn’t about mingyu, was it?” his deep voice shatters the silence, and you freeze.
“it wasn’t,” you confirm.
“so what is it, then? you just wanted some arm candy to show off for your coworkers?”
you choke out a ‘no’. hearing him say the words “arm candy” with a straight face is something you never thought you’d live to see. maybe you fainted in wonwoo’s car on the way to the bar at how pretty he looks and this is all a dream, and you’d never even met mingyu tonight.
but he continues, reassuring you this is, in fact, not a dream. “then why’d you lie about mingyu? because he clearly wasn’t as bothered by you turning him down as you said he was.”
“i don’t know…” you manage to whisper.
“i don’t believe that.”
you stare at him, finally reaching a tipping point. “fine. what do you want me to say, that i made up this whole elaborate plan just so we could play pretend and i could live out my fantasy of us being together for one night? is that what you want?”
his eyes widen, clearly not the words he was expecting to come out of your mouth. “you don’t mean that.”
“how would you know?” you retort, starting to get upset. “god, can you just— reject me so i can move on already?”
he blinks a few times, his jaw hanging open in shock. “what?”
“do i really have to spell it out for you, wonwoo? i’ve liked you since we were kids! i thought it was so obvious, but apparently, you just like leading people on!”
“when was i ever leading you on?” he sputters, his face starting to grow red. “why do you think i even agreed to this stupid plan in the first place? you think i’d do this for my friend?”
you open your mouth to fight back, but you stop suddenly, gears turning in your head. “wait. say that again?”
he furrows his eyebrows in annoyance. “say what again?”
“‘you think i’d do this for my friend’,” you repeat back to him. “if i’m not your friend, then… why are you doing this?” you pause, letting the words digest. “what am i to you, wonwoo?”
his mouth opens and closes, searching for words but none come out.
you stay quiet, waiting for him to figure out what he needs to say. you’ve said your piece. now, it's up to him.
“will you go out with me?” he says out of nowhere, breaking the silence.
it’s your turn to be surprised. “what?”
“i… i’ve been trying to figure out how to ask you out for years. that’s why i agreed to do this. because–” his voice cracks slightly, and he clears his throat before continuing, cheeks growing steadily pinker. “because i thought maybe if i did this, you’d see me as… more than a friend.”
he wants to look away, to avoid your piercing gaze, but he can’t draw his eyes away from yours.
your voice is much softer when you finally speak again. “i’ve always seen you as more than a friend,” you say gently.
you clear your throat, sitting up straighter in your seat and turning to face him better. “wonwoo, will you go out with me?”
it takes him a moment to process, but he recovers quickly, breaking into a wide grin. “well, technically i asked you first.”
you roll your eyes and rest a hand on his shoulder, gently pulling him towards you. “will you just kiss me, please?”
and he does, and it’s everything you daydreamed of, everything you waited all these years for, everything your elaborate plan was meant to achieve but almost ended in disaster for. you’re kissing your best friend, and he’s kissing you, and everything is exactly how it should be.

mistletoe inn
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
member — inn owner!seungcheol x reader genre — fluff word count — 1.2k warnings — none! notes — requested by anon — for my winter wonderland event: seuncheol + "mistletoe inn"
read part 2 here - minors dni
Tumblr media
"last stop, the mistletoe inn!"
you step off the bus with your luggage and sigh, pulling out your phone to check your messages.
as a surprise, you’d decided to spend your winter vacation with your parents– the only problem was, they’d decided to spend their winter vacation in hawaii, leaving you alone in their quiet mountain town with no place to stay and no way to get back until your flight home next weekend.
it’s been years since you’ve been home for the holidays, so you’d planned on staying with them and having a nice, quiet week at your parent’s house. but with them out of the state and you with no way to get in, you’re forced to find a hotel to stay at for the next week.
but in a town as small and rural as theirs, there are no major hotels; just small, family-owned bed and breakfasts, squished between cafes and family restaurants.
after calling your mom for recommendations, you finally settle on mistletoe inn, a cute little place at the edge of town that’s been in the choi family for generations.
stepping inside, you smile at how well the inn lives up to its name. a sprig of mistletoe hangs from the doorway, and the front desk is decorated in floral green and red.
“be right with you!” a voice calls from the other room, and you peer across the hallway to see a man in a brown cardigan putting a stack of books on a shelf. the room is a small library, complete with floor to ceiling bookshelves and tall stained glass windows that cast colorful patterns across the area rug on the floor.
you stand in the entryway, shifting back and forth on your feet as you wait for him to finish.
“i’m seungcheol,” the man says with a smile, finally coming into the room and walking behind the desk. “what can i do for you?”
“do you have any rooms? for the next week?”
he grins. “sure do! you prefer upstairs or downstairs?” he says, flipping open a large, leather bound book.
“um, downstairs is fine,” you reply.
he asks a few more questions about your stay, and you answer them politely, trying to avoid staring at him as much as you can. he’s unfairly attractive, to say the very least; fluffy brown hair hangs around his eyes, and crinkle lines appear when he smiles.
he moves back around to the other side of the counter to grab your bags and take them to your room for you. you follow him down the hall, taking in the decorations and paintings hanging on the walls. you pause in front of what looks like a family photo, looking at a dozen tiny smiling faces, no older than teenagers.
"is this your family?" you ask, pointing.
seungcheol laughs. "kind of. they’re just my buddies, but they're like family to me."
"who owns the inn, then?"
he pauses to think. "well, technically i do. it's really my grandma’s, though; it was her dream to own a bed and breakfast. my mom took it over, and when she moved it got passed down to me.”
you nod and continue following him down the hall until he stops in front of a door. “this is you,” he says, twisting the doorknob to reveal a gorgeous, cozy-looking room. “breakfast is at 8. let me know if you have any questions.”
you watch him enter the room, hoisting your bags onto the chair with ease, muscles clearly bulging through his thin cardigan that you pretend not to notice.
screw it, you’re only here for a week. maybe now is finally your chance to have a holiday romance.
he’s just about to leave when you call out his name. “hey, seungcheol? i, um… i actually do have a question.”
he turns back and looks at you, shoving his hands in his pockets as he waits for your question.
you shuffle your feet awkwardly, mentally building up the courage to ask him. “do you know any good cafes around here?”
he smiles. “yeah! there’s a little one down on fourth street that has a really great breakfast menu. and they have good coffee, too.”
“would you wanna go with me, maybe, like, tomorrow?” you ask. “if you’re not busy.”
he grins. maybe you’re imagining it, but you almost see his cheeks turn a little pinker. “tomorrow’s great!” he says.
he starts to walk away again, but at the last second he pauses and turns around. “i’m upstairs in room 13,” he adds. “if you… y’know, happen to find yourself in need of company.”
you feel your face heat, and you pray you aren’t misreading his intentions. “i’ll do that,” you answer with a smile.
he grins and shuts the door, leaving you alone to squeal in your room. maybe this disaster of a trip won’t be such a bad thing after all.
when you wake up, you’re surprised to see it’s still snowing- heavily. you call your parents to say good morning, then begin getting ready for the day.
a little while later you hear a knock on your door, and you get up to see who it is. opening the door reveals seungcheol, standing outside, scratching the back of his neck.
“hey, good morning!” you greet him, grinning.
“hey,” he says. “sorry it’s so early, but i needed to tell you something.”
“don’t worry, i was already up,” you giggle. “did something happen?” you ask, wondering why he’d be at your door barely past 8 in the morning.
he looks at his feet. “um, yeah,” he says. “the snow was really bad last night, and the whole town is snowed in. so we won’t be able to leave the inn today.”
“we’re… snowed in?”
“yeah,” he says apologetically. “i’m sorry if you had plans that got ruined.”
it’s disappointing, sure, but coming from the weather you’re used to at home, where it hasn’t snowed in decades, the thought of being snowed in is kind of exciting.
you smile. “actually, i don’t have any plans at all while i’m here, besides getting breakfast with you. but i’m fine if you wanna do something else today instead. if-if you’re not busy, that is.”
his face brightens. “i’m not working today, so… we could, cook something, if you want? i could show you some of my grandma’s christmas recipes.”
“we could have a picnic in my room, maybe?” you suggest.
“yeah, that would be nice,” he says, grinning. “sorry for bugging you so early on your first day, by the way. i swear we’re really nice to our guests here.”
you laugh. “i believe you. and it’s fine. i… like talking to you,” you admit shyly. even though you’ve known him for less than twenty four hours, you already get the feeling that he’s fun to talk to, and the more time you spend talking to him, the more you find yourself wanting to spend your entire trip with him.
your plans may have changed because of the weather, but you don’t doubt your trip will still be one of your best memories yet.

jingle & bell
Tumblr media
member — wonwoo x reader genre — fluff word count — 1.3k synopsis — you didn’t plan on adding new members to your family, but when you find two kittens left on your doorstep, wonwoo makes it his mission to convince you to keep them. warnings — fiancé!wonwoo, unbearably adorable kittens, scheming wonu, stubborn reader but not for long teehee notes — lowercase intended. i am very soft i hope you all enjoy reading as much as i did writing this bc oh my god when is it my turn i want a wonwoo
one reblog = two kittens wearing santa hats
Tumblr media
“what the hell was that?”
it was late in the evening when you’d been curled up on the couch, watching a movie with your fiancé. already halfway through december, it’s prime movie marathon season, especially for the cheesy holiday romance movies the both of you love but are adamant that you hate. all the house lights are turned off, except for the dim strings of white lights hung from the stairs. the snow outside that begins to fall heavier as the night goes on only adds to the cozy holiday atmosphere in your home.
the two main characters are just about to share their first kiss, when all of a sudden you hear a loud banging on the front door. clearly whoever it is means business.
you jump, instinctively grabbing wonwoo’s arm and moving closer to him. he leans forward to grab the remote and pause the movie as you cling to him.
he exchanges a glance with you. “should i go check?”
you grip him tighter. “well– no, wait a second! what if it’s a murderer or something?”
“i don’t think they’d knock.”
“well, why else would they be outside our house this late?”
he laughs a little. “that’s exactly why i’m gonna go check.”
you pull your blanket further onto your lap. “fine… but just go look through the peephole, don’t open it.”
he nods and pushes his wire glasses further up his nose, standing up from the couch. tentatively he walks over to the front door, pulling the curtain aside from the window to peek out.
“there’s no one out there,” he calls, turning to shrug at you. “i’m gonna open it.”
“don’t!” you squeak, but it’s too late. wonwoo’s already turning the knob, opening the door, and–
“oh my god,” he says, stepping outside.
“who is it? wonwoo?” you call nervously. “what is it?”
he backs into the room, the door shutting behind him. he turns around to reveal what he’s holding.
“a box?” you cry. “don’t touch it! it could be a bomb!”
“it’s not a bomb, i promise,” he laughs, coming closer to the couch to show you what’s inside. “it’s–”
“–kittens?” you finish. your mouth hangs open
two tiny white heads peek out from the side of the basket, crying softly. you drag your gaze away from them to see wonwoo grinning down at them.
“aren’t they so cute?” he says dotingly, balancing the box in one hand and bringing his other hand up to gently scratch behind their little ears, brushing stray snowflakes out of their tiny faces.
“who the hell is leaving kittens on our front porch? it’s the middle of winter!” you say.
he ignores you, continuing to play with the tiny creatures. the room fills with quiet mews as wonwoo watches them fondly.
“is there a note or something?” you ask, finally standing up.
“i didn’t see one,” he answers. he sets the box on the table in front of the couch so you can look inside.
“well… what are we gonna do with them?” you ask. “we can’t just keep them.”
wonwoo frowns, but his eyes stay trained on the kittens. “why not?”
you cross your arms. “‘cause they belong to somebody, probably!”
“if somebody’s leaving kittens on a stranger’s porch at midnight, whoever it is probably doesn’t want them.”
you sigh. “i guess.”
wonwoo reaches down and gently lifts one of the kittens from the box, and it immediately starts mewing. “the least we can do is take them to a shelter and see if they have all their shots.”
“there’s no way any shelter is gonna be open now,” you say. “it’s almost midnight, nothing’s open this late.”
he grins, cradling the kitten against his chest. “then we’ll just have to keep them until the shelter opens tomorrow.” and as much as you want to, you can’t argue with that.
“fine,” you surrender, knowing you won’t be able to do anything about it tonight. “but you’re gonna be the one taking care of them.”
he grins. “pinky promise i will.”
you watch as wonwoo places the box in the corner of the room by the heater, then leaves the room and returns with a stack of fluffy folded towels. he kneels in front of the box, carefully stuffing the towels inside to keep the little creatures warm. you can’t help but smile at the sight, endeared at how quickly your fiancé had taken to them. but as cute as he is, you know neither of you can afford everything that comes with owning a pet, let alone two.
but it’s only for one night, right?
wrong.
you wake up the next morning to an empty bed, and you frown, going downstairs to find wonwoo holding one of the kittens wrapped in a towel, feeding it from a tiny bottle.
“wonu?” you call sleepily, and he looks up.
“good morning, honey,” he says with a smile. “they’re looking much healthier this morning.”
you squint at the unfamiliar bottle in his hand. “where did you even get that?”
he puts the bottle down and gently wipes at the kitten’s mouth with one of the corners of the towel. “i went to the pet store earlier to get some formula, before you woke up.” you raise your eyebrows, and he continues. “oh, hey, i also called the vet and their answering machine said they’re closed until the new year, so it looks like we’ll have to keep them until then.” but he doesn’t look too disappointed by this information.
you frown. “not even the emergency services are open? what if people’s pets get sick? it’s only december fourteenth, what are they gonna do for three weeks?”
his cheeks redden. “well– i mean, don’t blame the messenger! i can’t change their vacation hours. besides, wouldn’t it just be easier to keep them for a little while? it must be so hard for them, changing environments so often, y’know?”
you narrow your eyes at him. “and you’re sure you aren’t making all that up just so you can keep them a little longer?” you ask, putting your hands on your hips.
he flashes you a smile. “of course not! just taking care of them until we have a chance to take them to the vet.”
you sigh. “you’re going to get attached to them and beg me to keep them, aren’t you?”
he bats his eyelashes innocently behind his glasses. “wouldn’t dream of it.”
and two days later, when you catch him at his computer with the kittens sleeping on a towel in his lap while he plays his games, you know he already has.
Tumblr media
it’s been almost a week, and wonwoo’s kept to his promise of taking care of the kittens, which he’s decided to name ‘jingle’ and ‘bell’, “because it’s the holidays!” according to him.
you know you’re really in too deep when he starts letting them join you when you watch movies together; one arm along the back of the couch behind you, his other arm curled around the purring kittens on his lap—which he’s put little santa hats on. because of course he has.
one of the kittens (jingle, you assume) stands up on wobbly legs and mews, and you look over to find him staring up at you, the fabric hat slipping down his little head. you tell yourself to resist the urge to reach over and fix his hat and snuggle with him, but you’re too late when he starts padding across the sea of blankets across yours and wonwoo’s legs. he plops down on your lap and tilts his head up to look at you, his tiny, high-pitched mewls almost drowning out the movie.
and of course, when you have a little friend sitting on you like that, how can you say no?
“oh, he likes you,” wonwoo says, smiling.
you sigh, giving in and gently petting the tiny kitten’s head with one finger. “i… guess… we can keep them,” you mumble.
he grins triumphantly. “the first two members of our new family.”
“wonu, we’re not getting any more!”
“we’ll discuss it after the wedding, honey. now shh, pay attention to the movie!”

sounds of the season
Tumblr media
day four of junkissed’s svt season’s greetings event
member — radio host!junhui x reader genre — fluff, college au word count — 1.7k synopsis — when your university’s radio show hosts a matchmaking event to raise money, you figure, what have you got to lose? the question you should be asking is, what have you got to gain? warnings — jun is so awkward but we love him, this is pretty dialogue-heavy sorry notes — lowercase intended. also i know nothing about how radio works so if i’m wrong just ignore it lol
this is part of @svthub's snowventeen winter collab! be sure to check out the collab masterlist here and support our talented writers! this collab contains both sfw and nsfw fics; minors dni with nsfw fics.
edit 12/27: i have added a part 2 on my nsfw blog @onlyhuis! it is smut so minors dni. you can read it here!
one reblog = one holiday song on the radio
Tumblr media
“that’s the end of today’s program, everyone, thanks for tuning in. remember to sign up for our ‘matchmaking for charity’ event while you still can! for every successful match, we’re donating $20 to toys for tots, so be sure to get your application in so we can find you a special someone this december. link is on our instagram, and our website, sdu.caratsradio.org, go check it out.”
a different voice follows. “we’ve been sounds of the season on 111.7 fm, hosted by our very own communications undergrads. have a great weekend, sdu students! we’ll see you back here monday at six for more holiday tunes.”
jazz study music from the next hour’s program begins to play as you sigh, closing the tab on your computer open to the school’s website.
for the last few weeks you’ve been listening to shining diamond university’s student radio station; more specifically, you’ve been listening to the duo that hosts the holiday music hour every monday and friday at 6pm. the festive music puts you in a better mood, but what you’re really there for is the hosts’ voices. their tone is so calming, most days you like to turn on the station in the background while you do your homework. something about the way they speak helps you focus. whoever they are, you could listen to them talk for hours.
there’s probably pictures of the hosts somewhere on the website, but you haven’t gone looking for them. you’re a little afraid that realizing that they’re not just pretty voices on your laptop, and knowing that there’s real-life faces connected to them would ruin the experience. so for now, you’re content to just imagine their voices and let your brain fill in the blanks.
you’ve been tossing around the idea of signing up for their event back and forth in your mind for a while now. being matched with a stranger at school just sounds nerve wracking, but at this point, you haven’t got much to lose. the worst that could come out of it is another bad date. plus, it’s for charity. you don’t know exactly what the parameters of the event are, but even if it doesn’t work out with whoever you’re matched with, you figure you could always just act like it did so the charity still gets the money.
what the heck, you figure. maybe it’ll be fun.
Tumblr media
a week after signing up you get an email with info about your match and instructions on when and where to meet him. on saturday at noon he’ll be at the far corner of the café in the campus dining hall wearing a white hat, and you’re told to wear something blue so you can recognize each other.
when you get to the dining hall, the guy sitting at the table in the far corner is… attractive, to say the least. you would even call him your type, if you knew anything about him besides the fact that you’re on a blind date with a randomly paired listener of the program.
“hey! you’re my match, right? i’m junhui.” he stands up, greeting you with a shy smile. he’s deceptively taller than he looks sitting down, and you take him in for a moment.
“yeah, that’s me! nice to meet you!”
“can i buy you coffee?” he asks eagerly. “um, or whatever they have at the coffee shop.”
“oh– sure!” you say. you weren’t sure what you’d been expecting, but you hadn’t been expecting him to be so polite. “thank you.”
“of course,” he smiles.
you stand in line together at the register, and you order a cheap drink off the menu. but as he’s telling the barista his order, something clicks.
“hold on, you sound… really familiar.” you squint, tilting your head. he takes the two cups from the barista and looks over at you, confused. all of a sudden the realization hits you, and your eyes widen. you’d know that voice anywhere. “wait, aren’t you–”
he nods sheepishly, handing you your drink. “yeah, i’m one of the radio hosts.”
holy shit. “that’s cool that you signed up for this too, though. did one of the comm professors match people, or was it random, or…?” you ask, trailing off to let him answer.
“no, me and jeonghan put the matches together. so it was on purpose.” his fingers toy with the cardboard sleeve of his coffee cup, and he lets out a nervous laugh. “would you hate me if i told you i matched us because i’ve had a crush on you since we had com101 together?”
“really?” you laugh. blush creeps into his cheeks. “honestly, i barely paid attention in that class, i only took it for the credits.” you stop, realizing how that must sound to him. “i mean, no offense! i wasn’t trying to be rude, i just–”
he shakes his head quickly. “i get what you meant. and, it was a pretty big class, so. easy to not know everyone.”
“why didn’t you say anything? i know i probably looked grumpy in that class, but i promise i’m not,” you say, adding a smile that you hope looks encouraging.
“no! it’s not you,” he rushes to explain. “i’m just not that great at talking to people.”
“but… you host a radio show?”
“it’s not the same. i’m not truly talking to anybody but jeonghan. there’s a monitor that shows us how many people are listening, but i ignore it.” he leans back in his chair. “i have to do it as part of one of my classes, but i actually really enjoy it now.”
you smile. “that’s good that you found something you like.”
he clears his throat, taking a small sip of his drink. “so, do you, um, listen often? you don’t have to say you do if you don’t, by the way, i won’t be offended. just curious.”
you debate lying to not expose yourself, but he looks so excited to hear that you can’t honestly tell him no. “actually, yeah. i listen almost every program. you have a really nice voice.”
the tips of his ears turn bright red, and immediately you feel awkward again. “sorry, is that weird to say?”
“that’s—no, not at all!” he stammers. “i think it’s a really big compliment. thank you.”
“yeah,” you add, not sure how to respond without making things weirder. you’re both silent for a second, the busy sounds of the dining hall’s café filling the room in the absence of words.
after an almost uncomfortable amount of silence passes, you laugh, trying to lighten the mood. “so, uh, what do we need to do for this to be considered successful?”
“huh?”
“for the charity thing. how do you decide what gets donated and what doesn’t?”
his focus snaps back to you. “oh! we’re donating for all the matches, even if they don’t work. we just said that as, like, an incentive so people would sign up.”
“oh.” you nod, thinking.
“did– did you want to leave?” he asks shyly. “i don’t wanna keep you here if you’re not enjoying it.”
“did you want to leave?” you counter.
“well… no,” he says. “but i don’t wanna force you.”
“you’re not, don’t worry,” you say, shaking your head. it’s awkward, for sure, but it’s far from the worst date you’ve ever been on. the least you could do is stick it out for another half hour or so.
“sorry this is so weird,” he laughs. “i don’t go out a lot.”
“it’s fine.” you smile at him, hoping he’ll relax a little. “is that why you signed up for this?”
“well, kinda,” he nods. “i was hoping i’d recognize somebody’s name and maybe make a new friend. but this is good, too.”
you fight the urge to frown, since it’s obvious he’s trying his best, but you’re confused at his statement. “what do you mean, ‘this’?”
“i… don’t know. what do you think this is?”
“a date,” you say simply. 
“oh!” he says, fiddling with his cup again.
“is that what you want this to be?” you ask gently.
“i– yeah, that would be really cool,” he grins, nodding. “a date.”
you smile at his enthusiasm. he’s cute, and his personality is, too.
“so, what’s working at a radio station like?” you pry. having finally been able to meet the man behind the voice you’ve heard so much of, you can’t say you’re not more than a little curious about who he is.
“oh, yeah, you like hearing me talk, sorry,” he says. your face heats in embarrassment, but before you can defend yourself, he continues on. “um, it’s pretty fun. the machinery’s pretty cool, the microphones and stuff. makes me feel like a professional singer or something. even though it’s more just choosing music to play than me actually talking.”
he looks up. “you can come by while we’re live sometime, if you want,” he says. “the studio’s really nice, they have beanbag chairs and somebody always brings snacks.”
“is that allowed?”
“sure! you can be my special guest,” he grins. “only if you want,” he adds a second later, as if he’s just thought of something.
you smile warmly. “it sounds fun. i’d love to.”
his face lights up. “great! can you come monday? we’re announcing the results of the matchmaking thing then.”
“i’ll be there.”
he pauses. “is this… a second date?” he asks tentatively. god, he’s adorable.
“yes, this is a second date,” you giggle. 
he stands up. “should i walk you to your car? or is that too much?”
he holds the door open for you as you step outside.
you laugh. “no, my apartment’s on campus, i just walked here. but thank you for the offer, you’re really sweet. and thanks for the coffee, too.”
it might be because of the chilly december weather, but his cheeks seem a little pinker than before. “no problem,” he grins. “i’ll see you monday, i guess? for another date?”
“i’ll see you monday,” you confirm with a smile.
he waves, still grinning, and pulls out his phone. as you start to walk away, you hear his voice from behind you, “hannie, dude, you won’t believe what just happened!!”
you giggle to yourself. you can’t wait til monday.

not so silent night
Tumblr media
day seven of junkissed’s svt season’s greetings event
member — music teacher!jihoon x english teacher!reader genre — fluff, some humor word count — 1.4k synopsis — your students have been trying to set you up with the other teachers all year. but what happens when the hot music teacher actually says yes? warnings — children being mischievous, maaybe suggestive at the end, if you choose to take it that way notes — lowercase intended. fun fact i wrote this on the greyhound bus coming home over thanksgiving break lol
edit [01/11] : i have added a second part to this fic called "not so holy night"! it is nsfw so minors dni. you can read it here!
one reblog = one scheming child
Tumblr media
“why don’t you have a boyfriend?”
you look up from the essay you’re grading. “‘excuse me?”
the little girl sitting at the desk closest to yours is staring at you. “how come you don’t have a boyfriend?” she repeats.
you hold in a laugh. “it’s silent reading time, heather. go back to your book.”
“you could date one of the other teachers,” she continues. “you know, my music teacher mr. lee is single. do you think he’s hot?”
“i think you need to finish your book, or else you’ll be staying in at recess to clean the whiteboards.”
she shrugs and rolls her eyes, but opens her book again. “somethin’ to think about.”
the bell rings signaling recess, and the room erupts in a flurry of little voices and papers rustling as the students put their books away and head outside. you follow them out, standing by the entrance to your classroom as they file out the door.
a man stands across the hall, similarly watching his students leave. you know he’s the music teacher; the drums that you hear every morning during third period are evidence of that. but other than that, you don’t know much about him. except now, thanks to nosy junior high girls, you know he’s not married, at least.
“good morning, mr. lee,” you say when you catch his eye.
he smiles. “please, call me jihoon.”
“how are your students?”
“good, good,” he says, crossing his arms. “and yours?”
“jumpy as always,” you laugh politely.
“wouldn’t expect any less, this close to winter break,” he replies. despite the small talk being no different than it is any other morning, you find yourself looking more closely at him for the first time.
“speaking of,” you start, “ are you going to the staff party this weekend?”
he leans against the door of his classroom. “wasn’t planning on it.”
“oh.” you stand awkwardly for a minute before nodding politely and turning to go back in your room, thinking the conversation is over.
“do you… would you wanna go with me?” you hear from behind you.
you spin around. “what?”
he shrugs, clearly trying to act nonchalant. “if i show up by myself and my students get wind of it, i’ll never hear the end of it.”
you pause. “why?”
he sighs. “they keep trying to set me up with other teachers. there’s only so many math teachers in the school, and they’re all married. if i don’t do something, they might move on to the language teachers.”
“i know the feeling,” you say, laughing, but you wonder if he was trying to say anything with that comment: you’re a language teacher. but you're probably just reading too much into it. “what is with kids and trying to put people together?”
“ah, you too?” he smiles. “it’s probably the same students doing it to both of us.”
“the group of girls that always wear the matching hair bows?”
“mhm, the very ones.”
you grin. “maybe we should go out, give them something to gossip about.”
his cheeks flush pink, and he coughs, reaching up to adjust his tie. “i– um…”
you panic at his reaction. “sorry! just a– joke…” you trail off.
“do you… like coffee?” he asks suddenly. you raise your eyebrows, and he laughs, gesturing to the mug in your hand. “that’s a stupid question, sorry.”
“i do like coffee, yes,” you giggle. neither of you are exactly the smoothest people in the world, but talking with him somehow feels natural.
“second period is my prep,” he says, fidgeting with his hands.
“i know,” you laugh, and he gives you a confused look. “i mean, it’s the only time i don’t hear your class.”
“oh,” he chuckles. “sorry about that. i always tell them not to mess around, but, what can you do?”
“don’t worry about it,” you smile. “so, coffee?”
“is tomorrow good?”
“the sooner the better,” you joke.
“i’ll see you then,” he smiles.
you clear your throat. “well, i’ve got grading to do, i should probably… go…”
“oh! yeah, of course,” he says, uncrossing his arms and wiping his palms on his pants. “i should go too, before the kids get back.”
“it’s nice talking to you,” you add at the last second.
his face lights up, and you’re glad he took it as a compliment instead of meaningless small talk. “yeah, you too!”
you grin awkwardly and slip back into your room, shutting the door behind you.
Tumblr media
damn, it hasn’t been that long since you’ve been on a date. you didn’t think your flirting was that rusty. but if you wanted to prove these kids wrong, you’d have to step up your game.
although it’s none of their business, you’re so excited about the date, you almost want to tell heather and the other girls that yes, a so-called “old woman” like yourself is still capable of getting a date.
you grin to yourself and shake your head, going back to the stack of papers on your desk, hoping to get the last of your grading done before recess is over and your next class comes in.
the next morning you wake up before your alarm, a feat that hasn’t happened in years. you stand in front of your closet for what’s probably close to an hour, trying to find the perfect outfit.
why are you so worried about this? it’s just coffee, you reason with yourself. no need to get all crazy over it.
still, it takes you at least another ten minutes before you finally pick out something to wear. giving yourself one last once-over in the bathroom mirror, you grab your keys and head out to your car half an hour earlier than you normally do. maybe sitting in your classroom before school will give you some time to figure out what the hell you’re about to do.
it’s not against the rules, per se, for one teacher to date another. but you can’t help but be nervous if something goes wrong. you can’t exactly avoid him when his classroom is directly across from yours.
to your amazement, the date goes great. yes, so maybe the “date” is just the two of you sitting in the starbucks down the street from the school, but at this hour of the day, it’s quiet. everyone’s either busy at work or dropping their kids off at school.
you learn a lot about mr. lee— jihoon, as he insists, that morning. like how he always wanted to be a music producer, and how he was in a band in college that was actually pretty successful.
too soon, you check your watch and realize it’s almost time for third period. you stand up, smoothing your coat down with your hands.
“are you still going to the staff party this weekend?” he says, just as you’re about to open the door.
you smile. “i was, yeah.”
he twists his coffee cup in his hands nervously. “do you maybe wanna… get drinks, or something before? we could carpool. i know this place downtown that has great cocktails. if you’d be, um, into that,” he finishes shyly.
you beam. “that sounds like a lot of fun. i’ll text you my address?”
he fumbles to grab his phone and hand it to you, nearly spilling his drink in the process.
“you should… call me, sometime,” you say as you text yourself from his phone to save the number.
“i will,” he says with a sheepish grin, and you know he means it.
Tumblr media
“so you have a boyfriend now?”
you glance up. “and what makes you think that?” you say. okay, so maybe you do technically have… something, now.
“i saw pictures of you and mr. lee on the school’s facebook from the christmas party,” heather says nonchalantly.
before you can even think of a response, something like, “why are you searching for pictures of me,” or, “since when does the school have a facebook profile?”, she shrugs and goes back to her grammar assignment.
you hold in a laugh, watching her. she doesn’t say anything more, so you look back at the homework in front of you, waiting to finish being graded.
“if you two get married, can i be the flower girl?” you hear a minute later, interrupting the silence. “since it was me that got you together.”
“we’ll see,” you glare playfully, raising your eyebrows. with the success of the last few dates you’ve been on, you can’t say it isn’t entirely out of the question. but that’s not something you’re about to tell heather and her little gossip group. especially after what happened when you got back to jihoon’s house after the staff party; those details, you’ll have to keep to yourself.

finals season
Tumblr media
day one of junkissed's svt seasons greetings event
member — tutor!seungcheol x student!reader genre — fluff, mild angst, hurt/comfort ?, college au  word count — 2k synopsis — getting a degree isn't easy. fortunately, your tutor that you maybe have a crush on is here to help. warnings — frat president!cheol, mentions of math (yes this is a warning), mutual crushes but they’re both kinda idiots, friends (?) to lovers, really awkward confession scene oops, there's 2 screenshots at the beginning bc i wanted to! notes — lowercase intended; honestly idk how this happened i promise the rest won’t be angsty like this sjdgkfs it was supposed to be cute but then my brain just kept chugging so. um enjoy !
one reblog = one snowy frat party
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you sigh and stand up off the couch, wrapping your scarf around your neck. as much as you hated doing math, you always seemed to jump at the chance to study with seungcheol. the weather had made you reluctant to leave the comfort of your home, but the promise of coffee (and your unfairly attractive tutor) was more than enough to lure you out of the house for a couple hours.
even though your major had almost nothing to do with math, you’re still required to take so many credits of the subject to meet your requirements.
you shrug on your coat and grab your backpack in the dark, shoving your laptop and charger in with notebooks and folders. turning to take one last look around to make sure you aren’t forgetting anything, you shut the door quietly and lock it.
the lady working the shift at the front desk smiles and waves as you walk through the lobby of your apartment complex. “where are you headed?” she asks, setting down her nail file.
“tutoring,” you say, pulling the strap of your backpack higher up your shoulder.
“ooh, that hot guy that comes through here every thursday?”
you giggle. “yeah.”
“well, good luck, baby,” she grins, giving you a very indiscreet wink. “have fun with you man!”
“no– we’re not together,” you explain, feeling your cheeks start to heat in embarrassment. not that you don’t want to be together. you don’t even know if he’s single or not.
“not yet! you never know!”
“i’ll see you later,” you laugh, walking out the front door with a wave behind you.
seungcheol’s house is on the other end of campus where the fraternity houses are. it’s not a far walk, but with the snow still coming down heavily you decide not to risk showing up at his door looking like a total mess. so instead of walking like you usually do, you wait at the bus stop outside your apartment, rushing to find a place under the overhang with a crowd of other students waiting to get to class.
fifteen minutes later, you step off the bus, trudging through the quickly growing piles of snow on the ground up to the door of cheol’s apartment.
it’s only friday afternoon, but lambda phi epsilon is already gearing up for whatever party they’re hosting this weekend. you can hear faint music playing from one of the houses across the street. you wonder why cheol, the current president of the frat, isn’t over there with them, but you don’t dwell on the thought.
you smooth down your jacket and check your hair in the reflection of your phone screen, then take a deep breath and knock twice.
the door swings open immediately, revealing your tutor dressed in his… pajamas. you almost choke, your eyes falling to his flannel pants and collared pajama shirt, the top buttons undone revealing an expanse of smooth skin. the material looks soft, so soft, and you have to physically restrain yourself from reaching out to touch him.
“hey! come on in, it’s cold out there,” he smiles warmly. you snap back to attention, drawing your gaze back up to his face.
“thanks,” you manage, stepping inside. “you look, um. comfortable.”
“i love the snow,” he explains. “perfect weather to stay inside and get cozy for the weekend.”
you raise your eyebrows. “you’re not going to the party later?”
“no?” he questions. “why, are you going?”
your cheeks flare. “no, i’m– work,” you laugh awkwardly as the entirety of the english language disappears from your brain.
he smiles. “cool. you can stay as long as you want, then, i don’t have plans. we can work until you have to leave.”
“sounds great,” you squeak out.
oh, it’s gonna be a long night.
Tumblr media
but the night isn’t as long as you thought it would be. it actually goes by pretty quickly, once you sit down and start working. as distracting as seungcheol is, you’ve really gotta learn these concepts before your final.
after many tutoring sessions you’d already figured out that cheol is insanely smart, but it never occurred to you before just how smart he is. not only does he understand the material, he understands it enough to explain everything in a way that makes sense to you— something your teachers could never do. everything just seems to click in your brain when he tells you things like why the angle of elevation is below the shape and not above it. hell, he’s even made his own practice problems for you that aren’t in your book, and after hours of teaching you get them all right, all on your own.
“try using this equation,” he says, gently nudging your elbow.
“huh?” you realize you’ve been staring at him and you whip your eyes back down to the workbook in front of you, embarrassed to be focusing on him and not the actual reason you’re here.
what is the reason you’re here? you wonder, your mind wandering. you went to the math department and signed up for a tutor, and a week later you met him in a private corner of the library to get help before your exam. and after a while, you started meeting him at your apartment, because your sessions ran long after the library had closed for the night. and now you’re sitting in his living room, contemplating every life decision you’ve made up until this point and wondering how the hell you ended up studying triangles with him in his pajamas.
he calls your name again, and you turn your head to look at him. but when you make eye contact, you suddenly feel the overwhelming urge to cry.
“do you wanna stop for now? we’ve been on this for a while, we can switch to something else if you want,” he asks. his eyes are full of concern at the sudden way you’ve stopped responding.
how did you end up falling in love with him?
“i… i think i should go home now,” you choke out. your throat feels like it’s closing up from the effort it takes not to burst into tears in the middle of his house.
“oh,” he says quietly. “are you sure? i have more practice problems for you, here, you can take–”
“why are you so nice to me?” you say abruptly.
he pauses. “i– what?”
“our study sessions go way past the hour set by the university, you make practice problems for me, you invite me to your house in your pajamas. you don’t have to do any of that. you get paid no matter what. why?”
his gaze shifts around the room, from the workbook still lying open on the table to the posters on his wall behind you. “i’m sorry about… this,” he says finally. “we can meet in the library again if you don’t like meeting here. and i would’ve changed, if i knew the pajamas made you uncomfortable.”
“it’s not the pajamas,” you whisper.
“sorry?” he says, not hearing you.
“it’s not the pajamas,” you repeat, louder this time. “it’s you. i… i don’t think i need a tutor anymore,” you say.
your vision begins to blur with tears when you hear him say softly, “okay.”
you grab your things and pack your backpack in record time. cheol holds the door open for you as you shrug your bag onto your shoulder.
“i’ll, uh, talk to the tutoring advisor and tell her you don’t need help anymore,” he says awkwardly as you rush out the door.
“goodbye, cheol,” you say, and turn down the steps to leave.
the sound of the door closing quietly behind you is what finally breaks you. tears stream down your face, burning your skin in contrast to the freezing air.
the snow had stopped while you’d been in his house, slowly turning into slush. you plop down on the sidewalk, not even caring that you’re sitting in a puddle of dirt and ice. not only had you just lost your free homework help, you’ve lost a friend who might’ve maybe been something more, if you hadn’t panicked and run off at the first thought of him.
your nose starts to run and you cry harder, wiping your nose against your sleeve, but it does nothing. you sit on the curb outside in the cold for so long you start shivering, but you don’t have the motivation to get up. a part of you doesn’t want to leave, and you don’t know why.
without the extra practice from cheol, you’ll probably bomb your final, which means having to take even more classes for even more credits next semester.
you hear a squeak behind you, but you don’t look back. whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.
“are you okay?”
a familiar voice calls out, and you force yourself to turn around.
“i mean, you don’t look okay,” he adds. “you’re sitting in front of my house, in the snow.”
you hadn’t even noticed it had started to snow again. “oh.”
“do you want to come inside?” he asks gently.
“no,” you answer immediately, but the cold is starting to get to you. “yes.”
he smiles, and just that makes you feel better. he moves out of the middle of the doorway, leaving room for you to come inside.
you stand up, trying to wipe the snow from your backside, and walk back into his house.
a pot of coffee is already steaming on the countertop, and he pours a mug and hands it to you. “why were you sitting in front of my house, in the snow?” he asks after a moment, giving you a minute to warm up.
“i don’t know,” you admit, sniffling. he hands you a tissue. where did he get that?
as you start to calm down and take in your surroundings, you notice he’s changed into jeans and a sweater.
“you didn’t have to change,” you say quietly.
“i know,” he says. “i, uh… i decided i’m going to the party later.”
“oh.”
“yeah.”
the tension in the room is almost unbearable, but you purposely ignore it, bringing his mug to your lips to drink with shaky hands.
“what did you mean, ‘it’s me’?” he says finally. “what you said earlier.”
you swallow. no running away this time.
“well. um. because you’re too good. at everything.” you close your eyes and sigh. “you’re good at math and you’re good at tutoring and you’re a good person.”
“oh?” he asks cautiously. “is that… a bad thing?”
“i don’t know,” you say,. “i don’t know. you’re too nice to me. i can’t figure it out.”
he smiles, and his hand moves at his side, as if he wants to reach out and touch you, but he stays put. “i–” he swallows. “i think you’re really great. and nice. and i wanted to, i guess, get to know you better. that’s why i suggested meeting outside the library. and why i help you so much. because i do want to help you, but, uh…” he trails off, staring at his feet. “i also want more than that.”
“you do?”
he looks up at you nervously, waiting to see if your reaction is good or bad.
“i also want more than that, i think,” you say quietly.
"do– do you wanna stay for a little while?" he asks, glancing out the window. "it's started snowing again."
you smile. "yeah."
his face brightens. "we can order food or watch tv, or– we could keep studying, whatever you want," he says shyly.
"i thought you were going to the party?"
"nah," he grins. "i’d rather stay right here.”

figure skates & cocoa dates
Tumblr media
day thirteen of junkissed’s winter wonderland event
member — bf!chan x figure skater!reader genre — fluff, humor word count — 2.3k synopsis — chan is a great dancer, but unlucky for him, his coordination doesn’t carry through to the ice. lucky for you, you know exactly how to teach him. warnings — chan is really bad at skating, lil bit of smooching at the end notes — lowercase intended. thanks so much for all the support on this series i love you all very much :) happy new year!
one reblog = one hot cocoa kiss
Tumblr media
“i don’t know why i let you talk me into this.”
chan groans, gripping the railing for dear life with one gloved hand. his other hand holds firmly in yours, squeezing your fingers until they turn white.
“i’m just surprised we’ve never gone skating together before now,” you giggle. usually when you wanted to go ice skating you’d invite your friends, who, like you, have been taking figure skating lessons since before they could walk. helping your boyfriend learn how to skate for the first time is completely new territory for you both.
loud pop music plays over the outdoor rink’s speakers as couples holding hands skate past you two, bundled up in winter coats and mittens.
you try to hold back a laugh as he lets go of the railing for a split second before grabbing back on tight, arms flailing, desperately trying to regain his balance.
for being such a good dancer, he’s completely out of his element on the ice. it’s almost endearing how bad he is at it. but everyone has to be bad at something, you figure; you can’t come up with choreography to save your life, he can’t skate to save his.
he looks down at your feet as you keep your balance easily on the thin blades. you tug him along at a snail’s pace as he purses his lips and holds onto the side of the rink tighter, his legs wobbling uncontrollably.
“how do you do it so easily?” he says, guiding his palms along the cold metal railing. he watches as you skate around in front of him and keep your pace, guiding him forwards while you skate slowly backwards.
“years and years of practice,” you admit with a grin. “but i’ve always loved figure skating. when i was little i wanted to skate in the olympics.”
“you’d win a gold medal for sure,” he teases as he trips over his feet. his grip on your hands tightens and you catch him, using the railing to help pull him back up before he can fall to the ground.
“i’m not that good,” you laugh. you can do a few simple turns, sure, but anyone can do that with a few lessons and a lot of practice. it’s nothing compared to the triple and quad jumps and complex tricks real olympic athletes can do.
“better than me, that’s for sure.”
he clutches to the side of the rink, dragging himself along with every step. you sigh. if he doesn’t let go of the wall soon, he’ll never get to skate properly. everyone else at the rink was gliding across the ice, or at the very least, stumbling along holding someone’s hand. but then again, it probably wasn’t their first time at a couple’s skate.
and there was chan, who hadn’t taken his hands off the railing since the moment he stepped onto the ice. 
“let me teach you. please?” you say, slowing to a stop. “but you have to get away from the wall, baby.”
his eyes flick up to you. “not a chance,” he snorts. “i’m staying right here.”
you fold your arms over your chest and pout. “fine. i’m going to skate by myself, then.”
panic flashes across his face. “wait, no, you can’t just leave me here–”
by now you’d worked your way halfway around the rink, farthest away from the exits. there’s no way he’d make it back on his own.
raising your eyebrows in a challenge, you let go of his hand and skate away from him, just barely out of reach. his eyes grow wide as he starts to fall forward, but at the last second he catches hold of the railing with both hands and awkwardly pulls himself back up. 
you giggle and skate away, quickly moving to the center of the rink, picking up speed as you glide gracefully across the ice. 
you skate a quick lap around the rink, every so often adding a little turn or a spin. yeah, maybe you were showing off a little, but you were having a blast.
out of the corner of your vision you keep an eye on chan, making sure he hasn’t gotten lost somehow. but no, he’s still glued to the railing, not moved an inch since you’d left him. from the other end of the rink you wave at him, smiling proudly.
finally you decide you’re done torturing him, and you make your way back around to where chan is still standing, hugging the wall. 
“thanks for the show,” he laughs. “are you gonna help me now?”
you stay in front of him, just barely an arm’s length away. “no, not unless you get off the wall.”
he frowns, still not budging. “you can be so stubborn sometimes.”
you smirk. “look who’s talking.”
he rolls his eyes. “fine,” he huffs. 
gingerly he leans away from the rail, letting go with just one hand. instantly you move closer, holding out your hands for support. he grabs your arm, and finally lets go of his other hand. he was still less than a few feet away from the wall, but it was progress, and you’d take anything you could get. 
you weren’t even moving, yet his legs still wobbled like a toddler learning to walk. you stood still, waiting for him to get his balance without the help of the wall.
“see, you got it! no more railing!”
“wonderful.”
you knew it’d be easier once he started moving. his fear of falling was making him too tense, and the more afraid he was to fall, the greater the chances were that he’d actually fall. 
a triumphant grin begins to creep across your face. “ready to start going?” you ask.
he sighs. “ready as i’ll ever be, i guess.”
you give him an encouraging smile and slowly slide your right foot back, dragging your left along behind it a moment later. chan watches intently, trying to follow along with the movement. you move your thumb gently along his hand, trying to keep him calm. if he freaked out and started flailing again, he was guaranteed to fall and bring the both of you crashing down.
you glance down at his legs, spread far apart. his knees were shaking. 
“you– baby, straighten your legs a little,” you giggle.
he stiffens his legs completely, almost causing him to fall over.
you try to hold in a laugh. “okay, not that much! bend your knees, just a little– there you go.”
you move forward from his side so you’re facing him skating backwards again, and he holds onto your hands tightly. “bring your feet closer together and move them back at an angle, it’ll make you go forward.”
“is this what they teach you in the olympics?” he jokes, a nervous look on his face. you knew he was trying his best, despite his aversion to skating, and you appreciated the effort. this would probably be the last time you go skating together, but it’s the thought that counts.
you laugh, squeezing his hands. “oh, yes, it’s a very advanced technique. you should be honored i’m teaching you all our secrets.”
as you start to move backwards, chan straightens slowly, watching your legs and mirroring your position, keeping his knees bent slightly like yours. 
“you got it,” you say, trying to encourage him. you smile. “you’re doing great, you know. better than i was the first time i put on a pair of skates.”
“okay, well, now you’re just lying to make me feel better,” he says, looking back up at you.
you laugh, raising an eyebrow. “is it working?”
he teeters forward, and you pull him back upright. he gains his balance again, faster than he had before, and he grins. “you know, i think it is.”
when you finally reach the other side of the rink, having completed a full lap, chan decides he’s ready to try skating on his own. 
“are you sure?” you ask, surprised.
“might as well,” he chuckles. “if i fall, then i fall. can’t avoid it forever.”
you grin. this is exactly what you’d wanted him to realize. “okay. i’ll be right here the whole time,” you say, skating back to his side and holding out your arm.
slowly he lets go of your hand, then the other. you keep them close for support, but now he stands fully on his own. he wobbles forward, awkwardly shuffling his skates back and forth, but he manages to keep his balance.
he makes it forward a couple feet, and he turns to you, grinning. “i got it!”
but as he turns to tell you his accomplishment, he trips and reaches out, swinging his arms, trying to regain his balance.
your hands shoot out to try to catch him, but he’s moving too fast for you to yank him back up. he falls flat on his ass, pulling you down with him, and you land between his legs, tangled up in a mess of arms and legs.
you burst out laughing, still holding onto his hands. his worried expression lifts, seeing that you hadn’t been hurt by his clumsiness. “sorry,” he says, choking out a laugh. 
“it was gonna happen, sooner or later,” you say, giggling as you pull yourself to your feet. you stick out a hand to help him up. 
“did you see me, though?” he asks proudly, taking your hand. 
“i did! you were doing great,” you grin, grabbing his shoulders and turning him so you can dust the ice off his backside. 
the music changes suddenly, a slow song coming over the speakers. the strings of lights around the edge of the rink change color, dimming to a deep orange. 
“couples skate only,” the dj hums into the microphone. “if you don’t have a partner, time for you to get off the ice.”
chan turns to you, a smile spreading across his face. “may i have this dance– er, skate?” he asks, holding out his hand. 
you grin and take his hand. “i would love to.”
he leads you out farther out into the center of the rink, still fairly close to the wall but a lot farther than he’d been before. you raise your eyebrows at him, and he winks at you, slowly starting to make loops on the ice.
it’s still far from perfect; he trips and loses his balance a few times, but you don’t fall again for the rest of the night.
once the song ends, you skate together for a little while longer, but you’re both exhausted. it’s finally time to go home.
“see, you weren’t that bad,” you say as you skate towards the exit, still holding his hand.
he laughs, his expression doubtful.
“and i’m not lying this time!” you add.
when you finish unlacing your skates and putting your outdoor shoes back on, you walk into the small cafe tent set up next to the rink. the inside of the tent is lined with heaters, and small tables and chairs are scattered around the space. strings of colorful lights hang from the top of the tent, giving the cafe a warm glow.
you buy paper cups of hot chocolate and walk back to the car to sit, a much more private spot than the tables. chan turns the key in the ignition, quickly cranking the heater up to the max. soon, the car warms up enough for you to shed some of your layers of clothes.
you relax back into the passenger seat, sipping your drink. he reaches over the center console, resting one hand on your thigh. you cover his hand with yours, absently playing with the cuff of his sweater.
“i had a lot of fun tonight,” he says. the atmosphere in the car is quiet and calm. “i didn’t think i’d be very good at it, but i did have fun.”
you smile, lacing your fingers through his. “ i knew you would. or if you didn’t, at least it’d be funny watching you fall,” you tease.
he rolls his eyes, but he’s smiling.
you set your cocoa in the cupholder and lean across the seat, cupping his head to press a gentle kiss to his cheek. 
he leans towards you, meeting your lips halfway. his fingertips on your jaw are ice cold, but his lips are warm and sweet. you smile into his mouth, tasting the chocolate on his tongue. or maybe it was your own hot chocolate you were tasting. either way, you love the feeling of his lips on yours, light and soft as freshly fallen snow. 
finally you pull away, running your hand along his head and tangling your fingers in his hair. he presses one last chaste kiss to your lips before leaning back into his seat.
“next time, i’m taking you snowboarding,” he says. 
you frown. “you know i’m not good at it,” you say, imagining yourself tumbling down the side of a mountain. 
“i’ll teach you.”
“there’s no rails on a mountain. what if i fall?”
“you can hold onto me, then.”
he looks excited about the idea, you don’t have the heart to say no. it was only fair; he’d tried what you liked, so the least you could do is try snowboarding with him. “fine. but only because it’s you. if anyone else asked, i’d say no.”
he smiles, letting his hand fall back to your lap. “even if you don’t like it, it’ll be funny watching you fall,” he teases, grinning.
“chan!”
“kidding, kidding. you know i love you.”
you pretend to pout. “do i know that?”
he reaches over and angles your chin up, pressing another long, affectionate kiss to your lips. “now you do,” he says, pulling away. 
“you’re so mean,” you mutter, but the wide smile on your face reveals how you really feel.
you can only hope this snowboarding date will go as well as your skating date went.

snowball fights
Tumblr media
day nine of junkissed's svt season's greetings
member — bf!mingyu x reader genre — fluff word count — 1.1k synopsis — all you wanted to do was decorate the outside of the house in peace. as usual, mingyu has other ideas. warnings — implied nudity but not suggestive (mingyu and reader take a shower) notes — lowercase intended
one reblog = one snowball in mingyu's face
Tumblr media
“gyu? where’d you go?”
it was saturday morning, the ground outside white with fresh snow from last night’s storm, so you’d planned to start the day setting up your winter decorations outside.
by the time the wire reindeer were set up in the yard and the strings of white light bulbs were wrapped around the trees at the end of the driveway, the lightly falling snow had begun to come down harder again.
you’d turned around to ask mingyu if he had another extension cord, but you’re met with silence. you frown, looking around for him, but he was nowhere to be seen.
figuring he’d gone back inside when you weren’t paying attention, you step up onto the porch to walk inside and look for the cord. suddenly you feel something hit the back of your jacket.
you spin around to see mingyu standing on the front lawn, squatting down and grabbing handfuls of snow, packing them into neat balls.
you raise an eyebrow, a grin tugging at the corners of your mouth. 
“oh, you’re dead!” you call, tugging your beanie down over your ears. 
he licks his bottom lip and nods, a cocky grin plastered across his face. “bring it on, sweetheart,” he shouts over to you.
you reach down and dig your hand into the snow, cupping it in your palm and patting it into a snowball.
when you pretend to throw it, he throws a snowball of his own at you. you squeal and run off the porch, leaping down the steps and diving behind the car. his snowball crumbles against the side of the house.
you poke your head around the side of the car to see him bent down, reaching for more snow. taking advantage of the opportunity, you jump up and throw your biggest snowball at him. it seemed like it was flying in slow motion until it landed, right on top of mingyu’s head, the snow breaking apart and sticking to loose strands of hair poking out from beneath his hat.
“yes!” you cry, pumping your fist in triumph. he groans in response.
you bent back down on one knee, intently focused on your mission. you gathered some of the snow that had piled up beside the car, and as you begin packing it into balls, you keep one ear alert, listening for signs of mingyu. but… you didn’t hear a sound.
which was odd, because mingyu is the loudest person you know, managing to make noise while doing just about anything. but now, he was silent as a mouse. 
you turned around, pressing your back against the tire. you catch a glimpse of something moving out of the corner of your eye, and you look up. too late, you realize what’s happening, and with a laugh mingyu smashes two snowballs over your head.
immediately you feel the icy snow run down your back and you let out a gasp. the ice melts the second it makes contact with your skin, warm under so many layers of winter clothes. 
next to you, mingyu’s laughter fills your ears. you reach up and wipe the snow from your eyebrows, pretending to be angry.
seeing your expression, his face falls and he rushes to start apologizing, thinking you were actually mad at him. “oh, wait, baby, i’m sorry, i didn’t mean–”
without hesitating, you jump up and shove your last snowball right into his face. his look of surprise was priceless; now it was your turn to laugh. 
“hey, not fair!” he sputters, brushing the snow out of his eyes. but he’s laughing, too, and you know he’s not really mad.
“truce?” you giggle, holding out a gloved hand for him to shake. 
he reaches out and wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you into him. “c’mon,” he says, pressing cold lips against your flushed cheek. “let’s go inside.”
Tumblr media
together you walk back into the house, shedding wet layers the second you step through the door. you peel off your jacket and scarf, immediately feeling the warmth from the heater on your skin. you sigh in relief and hang your coats by the door to dry, followed by two pairs of boots. 
your pants are still wet from the snow, and a chill runs through your body as the cold soaks through your remaining clothes. “i need a hot shower,” you sigh, pulling off your wet socks and leaning into the laundry room to toss them in the basket.
“can i join?” mingyu asks, grinning.
“mmm… maybe i’ll let you, if you ask nicely,” you tease. 
he puts on his poutiest face, tilting his chin down to stare at you through his eyelashes. 
of course he would. he knows how weak you are for his puppy dog eyes. 
he clears his throat loudly. “please?” he whines softly.
“you’re shameless,” you roll your eyes, but you’re smiling. “fine.”
he whoops and jogs up the stairs to start the shower. you giggle and pull your shirt over your head, following after him.
after you’d dried off and put on fresh pajamas, you sat curled up on the couch together, mugs of coffee warming your laps. the gentle hum of the washing machine drying your clothes fills the house as you watch tv, the channel turned to whatever’s playing.
the fireplace crackles quietly as the snow outside continues to fall, creating a picturesque winter afternoon worthy enough to be a painting. even though it was still light outside, you’d turned on the strings of lights decorating the room. the colorful, twinkling lights made the house feel cozy, like home.
you shift, adjusting the pile of blankets on your lap so you can move closer to mingyu. he grins, briefly letting go of his phone to wrap a welcoming arm around you and pull you partway onto his lap. you lean into his shoulder and glance up at him, quietly watching his soft features with a smile on your face.
the room is calm; the only sounds are from the dryer and the tv playing quietly in the background. these are the moments you love most, the quiet ones where you can just be alone, together.
the show goes to a commercial, and he looks down at you. “you look comfortable,” he says with a smile, reaching down to tuck your hair behind your ear. 
“i am,” you giggle, finding his hand and lacing your fingers with his.
he grins, squeezing your hand. “good.”

a shoe addict's christmas
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
member — fashion consultant!minghao x reader genre — fluff, ?? a little bit silly word count — 2.2k warnings — minghao fashion icon era, scary rich people, joshua cameo (yes this is a warning) notes — requested by anon — for my winter wonderland event — lowercase intended. thank you @onlymingyus for reading over this ilysm you are the best in the world.
one reblog = one pair of designer socks
Tumblr media
“i told you, i need something to wear to the party next weekend! i can’t show up wearing the stuff i already have, joshua’s gonna be there!”
you roll your eyes. “you literally have, like, a thousand shoes at home you could wear.”
your friend pouts. “yeah, but it has to be special! i’ve worn all those already, i have to impress him!”
“i’m pretty sure he doesn’t care,” you laugh. “he wore the same pair of brown pants three times last week.”
“okay, but still! what do you think, would the prada heels or the givenchy ones go better with my dress?”
you’re about to give up and do eenie meenie minie mo for her, when a voice behind you catches you off guard.
“do you need help finding anything?”
you freeze, recognizing it as belonging to the insanely attractive salesman you’ve seen in the store on occasion, and also maybe the reason you agreed to go shopping with your high heel-obsessed friend in the first place.
your friend exhales dramatically. “ugh, yes! finally, someone who knows something.” she looks over at you apologetically. “i mean… no offense.”
you hold back a laugh. “none taken.”
she whips around, turning her attention back to the man as she pulls out her phone to show him a photo. “see, now here’s the dress i’m wearing to the party, do you think the tulle is too much? because if i take away the lace, then the tulle looks too plain, and then the prada won’t match, and…”
you zone out as she goes on, blabbering about fabrics and colors and swatches to this poor man who does this as his job. mentally you groan at the thought of having to do this all day; helping people
you notice for the first time the engraved name tag pinned to his lapel that reads, “minghao, fashion consultant”.
you focus back on the conversation at just the right moment, it seems, because the man—minghao—turns towards you. “what about your friend, do they need shoes, too? i can bring more from the back, if you want,” he says, now talking directly to you.
you’re probably imagining things, but you almost think you hear a bit of shyness in his voice.
“oh! no, i’m not going to the party,” you answer quickly, for the first time in your life regretting not going with your friend to one of her extravagant parties.
he smiles warmly. “it’s a shame,” he says. “you’re very beautiful, i would love to give you some recommendations if you’d like.”
your face flushes, and you try not to stumble over your words. “i’m– thank you,” you squeak out.
“well, if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me,” he says. “i work sunday to friday.”
“thank you,” you mumble, not completely sure how to react. but you do know for sure that you’re definitely going to be making a lot more trips to the high-end designer store very soon– whether you need shoes or not.
he nods and bows his head, then turns and walks away. you watch as he seems to glide over the floor almost, off to give fashion advice to someone else.
when he’s out of sight, you turn to your friend, who’s staring at you, jaw hanging open. “oh my god, he was so flirting with you!!” she squeals, and your cheeks warm at the thought.
“no, he wasn’t,” you giggle, trying to hide your nerves. “he was probably just trying to make another sale, they probably have some daily quota to fill or something.”
she puts a hand on your shoulder, the pair of shoes he helped her decide on hanging from her other hand. “listen. i know flirting when i see it. and that definitely was.”
you swat her hand away playfully. “i don’t believe you.”
she sighs, then grabs your hand to drag you towards the register to pay.
Tumblr media
three days pass before you go back to the store again, this time on your own. without your shopping partner, you feel out of place in such an expensive store, surrounded by sophisticated people who seem to know what they’re doing and who look at you like you’re about to rob the place.
you busy yourself in a rack of fancy looking scarves, not-so-discreetly looking around to see if the salesman minghao is here today. it’s a tuesday, so he should be working– that is, if he was telling the truth.
“i see you like the dior,” a voice says behind you, and you nearly jump out of your skin as you turn around, barely suppressing a scream.
“sorry for startling you,” he says with a friendly smile. “and i’m sorry i didn’t properly introduce myself last time. i’m minghao.”
“i see, the… name tag,” you answer awkwardly, and he looks down at his blouse as if he’s just realizing it himself.
“oh! yeah,” he giggles.
you stand up straighter, trying to compose yourself after almost knocking down a rack of items that probably cost more than you make in a year.
“so, um… is your friend with you again?” he asks, folding his arms behind his back.
your face falls, and you try not to let it show. because of course he would be interested in your friend, the fashionista, and not you. you sigh, used to it by now, but it still stings coming from him, although you don’t really know why. it’s clear he’s out of your league anyway. “no, she’s not.”
“i’m glad!” his face brightens, and you squint in confusion at his reaction. “i– i mean, she has good enough fashion sense on her own. you look like you might need some help.”
ouch. your eyes widen, and he’s quick to jump in. “that came out so rude, i’m so sorry– i meant, you don’t seem like the typical customer we see here.”
you raise your eyebrows, staying quiet as he seems to give you backhanded compliment after backhanded compliment. 
he sighs. “i’m not doing myself any favors, am i?” 
you offer a weak smile, and he laughs nervously. “i don’t mean to insult you. i’m just surprised. most people that come in here are rich, snobby people who couldn’t care less about the people that work here. you seem different.” he pauses. “it’s refreshing.”
 you look away shyly. “i, um… thank you.”
“well.” he exhales. “in any case, i do still work here. is there anything you wanted to look at, or…?”
you pause. “i… uh, no, just browsing, i guess.”
he clears his throat. “we also do, um, private sessions, if you want? i can help with all kinds of wardrobe stuff, or if you just want advice on what looks nice. i’m sure someone as beautiful as you has plenty of parties to go to this season?” he asks cautiously.
it’s not clear to you whether he really is hitting on you, or he just really wants that paycheck. either way, there’s no way you can afford anything in this store, including him. “not really,” you say quietly.
“can– can i give you my business card? in case you ever need anything,” he says, fumbling to fish one out of his jeans pocket and handing it to you.
you take it from him gingerly. it’s embossed the same way his name tag is, with his name and job title in a pretty, fancy script with a phone number and an email address on the back.
you know the chances of actually contacting him are slim, but just having his information gives you butterflies. “thank you,” you manage.
he beams, and you turn to start to walk away, but he calls out. “wait! i didn’t catch your name,” he says.
you clasp your hands together and tell him.
he smiles, repeating your name softly. “it’s really nice to meet you.”
Tumblr media
despite your instincts telling you not to, on thursday you once again find yourself at the store.
you walk inside, and this time you find minghao almost immediately. he’s in a heated conversation with a scowling older woman, animatedly waving around the ugliest skirt you’ve ever seen in your life. 
he spots you, and his face lights up, excusing himself from the conversation with the woman before dashing over to you.
“you’re back again!” he says, excited but a little out of breath.
“mhm,” you answer with a smile. “but i have to admit, i don’t know why i keep coming back. it’s not like i’m ever going to buy anything from here.”
he grins. “i know.”
you raise an eyebrow at him. “you know?”
“well, you said it yourself before, you only came because of your friend. but then you kept showing up without her, so…” he trails off. “i figured you kept coming back for… another reason. am i wrong?”
your face heats up. “maybe not.”
he smiles, and you clear your throat. “well, maybe i am going to buy something this time,” you say, crossing your arms, determined to prove him wrong.
you look at the display next to you, searching for something that looks cheap. you settle on a pair of socks, grabbing them triumphantly. “i’m gonna buy these.” but your eyes widen as you turn them over to check the price, and you quietly set them down. “well… nevermind.”
he giggles, and you frown at him. “what kind of socks are that expensive? are they made of melted-down gold or something?”
“listen, i don’t make the prices,” he says, still giggling. “i just work here.”
you huff and cross your arms again, pretending to be upset.
“anyway, i’m glad you’re here today, because i have something to ask you,” he says once he’s finally stopped laughing.
“oh, really?” you say. you’re not sure what he could want from you, but you have to admit you’re intrigued.
“well…” he clears his throat. “i’m going to this christmas party tomorrow, and– i was kinda hoping you might, wanna come with me?” he says shyly.
your eyes widen, and you force out a nervous laugh. “i– why me? don’t you have any boring, rich friends to take instead?”
he laughs nervously. “i mean, i do, and that’s exactly why i don’t want to,” he says. “ you’re not like them. i like being around you.”
you go quiet. “oh.”
“are you– would you want to go?” he asks, his gaze falling to his feet. “you don’t have to, it was just a thought–”
“i don’t really, um, have anything to wear,” you reply softly, and he looks up at you again.
“i…” he coughs awkwardly. “would it be weird if i told you i designed something for you?”
you stare at him, not sure how to even respond to that. a little weird? maybe. really, really flattering? absolutely.
he starts rambling. “it’s not much, i was just playing around the other day, i thought the colors would go so nice with your skin tone, and the satin would–”
“that’s really cool, minghao,” you interrupt, and he freezes. “i would be honored to wear something you made.”
Tumblr media
the road is packed when minghao opens the car door for you, and you step out into the cool night air. you bunch up your dress in one hand to keep it from dragging across the ground
he shows his invitation to a man in a tuxedo, then ushers you inside, his hand placed gently on your lower back.
you wander around for a little while, staying at the outskirts of the room to people-watch with minghao.
you make eye contact with someone who looks suspiciously like your friend, and you squint, trying to see them better, but they immediately run at you, calling your name as they tug a man along behind them. yep, definitely your friend.
“you came!” she squeals, clapping her hands. “this is joshua,” she blushes, pointing at him. he waves, flashing a smile.
“i figured,” you say, trying not to laugh.
suddenly she gasps, noticing minghao beside you. “hey! sales guy!”
he pauses, eyes wide at being recognized. “um… yes? hi?”
she looks back at you and gasps, finally putting two and two together that you came together. “i knew it! he was flirting with you! i told you!”
you grin. “i guess he was.”
she claps her hands together. “yay! finally! i’ve been tired of seeing you with losers. i like him.” she glances at minghao, sticking her hand out for him to shake. “you’re cool. i approve.”
he smiles blankly. “thanks…?”
“well… i’ll leave you alone now,” she says, her grin widening. “have fun!” she calls as she dashes off, her new givenchy heels clacking across the tiled floor.
“i guess i kind of owe her for having a designer shoe addiction,” you laugh. “i never in a million years would’ve gone in that store had she not begged me to go shopping with her. and then i never would’ve met you.”
he smiles, squeezing your hand. “then i’m glad she did.”

baby, it's cold outside
Tumblr media
day three of junkissed’s svt season’s greetings event
member — bf!joshua x gn reader genre — fluff, comfort word count — 1.4k synopsis — maybe going skiing on the coldest day of winter wasn’t the best idea. but at least you have joshua to take care of you. warnings — mentions of illness (reader has a cold), mentions of food, temperatures are in fahrenheit (sorry i'm american) notes — lowercase intended, reader is implied to have longer hair
one reblog = one ski trip with the sexy gentleman
Tumblr media
“i can’t believe you got me sick!”
"what did i tell you?" joshua frowns, his bare feet crossing the rug to where you lay across the couch. he hands you a mug of tea and you sit up, narrowing your eyes at him.
“i don’t wanna hear it,” you say, sniffling. you cradle the warm mug in your palms before bringing it up to your lips to take a sip. “it was your smart idea to go skiing in the alps during the coldest week of the year.”
“i told you to wear more layers,” he sighs, settling into the recliner next to the couch.
“but whose idea was it to leave the hotel when it was twelve degrees outside?"
joshua rolls his eyes. “don’t act like you didn’t have fun.”
you had enjoyed the trip, a much-needed vacation, but you weren’t about to admit it and prove him right. “see how well that worked out,” you pout, taking another sip of your tea before setting it on the side table and laying back down.
as you shift your focus back to the cartoons playing on the tv across the room, joshua studies you, fondly watching you pull your blankets tighter around yourself. the tip of your nose is raw from blowing it so much, and the trash can by the table is filled with balled-up tissues.
you’d had a cold ever since the two of you came back from your vacation last weekend. the morning after your flight home, you woke up with a sore throat and a nasty fever, and you’d been so sick you hadn’t been able to leave the house.
as the days trudged on, joshua had tried to distance himself from you to avoid catching whatever flu was going around, but he had still taken every opportunity to wait on you hand and foot. you had warned him not to get to close, but he insisted on doing everything for you, getting anything you needed and running to the store to make sure you were stocked up with gatorade and soup. of course he would go above and beyond to make sure you were eating enough and staying hydrated; it’s just how he is.
many bowls of soup and cups of tea later, you were starting to feel a little better, but the reason for that was more him than the medicine you’d been taking every twelve hours. you’d called the doctor and they’d confirmed you were no longer contagious enough to pass along your cold. joshua had welcomed the news, grateful to have the opportunity to get close to you without being afraid of getting sick.
what you were most excited about being better was that you would finally be able to sleep in the same bed again. you hated sleeping alone, not when you could have a perfectly good boyfriend snuggled up next to you every night. the bed was cold without him, and you’d never let him know this, but you kind of missed the sounds of his snores. he was only sleeping down the hall in the guest room, but it was too far away for your liking.
there were a lot of things you missed when you were sick. you hadn’t realized how much you took for granted until you didn’t have it anymore. you missed when joshua would help you wash dishes after a meal, pressing a gentle kiss to your cheek. you missed waking up next to him, curling your arm around his peacefully sleeping body before falling back asleep yourself. you missed cooking dinner together and having dance parties and singing karaoke until your lungs burned. you hated being sick, but most of all you hated how awful the both of you felt, unable to do the things you loved together.
“why are you staring at me?” you ask, your eyes finding joshua’s staring back at you, and you realized you’d zoned out thinking about how much it sucks being sick.
he smiles and stands up, the recliner rocking at the shift. “sit up for a second,” he says, walking over towards you.
you grab your blankets and sit up as joshua slips onto the couch beside you, the cushions sinking slightly with his weight.
he adjusts himself next to you, leaning back against the arm of the couch and stretching his legs out for you to rest your head on his lap. you lean into him, relaxing into the familiar feeling. he rests his forearm on your side, lightly wrapping his arm around you.
he gathers your hair, sprawled out beneath your head, and brushes it gently with his fingers, laying it across your shoulder. “is this better?” he asks softly, running his hand along your forehead.
“mhm,” you sigh, melting into his touch. you tilt you head backwards a little to look up at him and nod, pulling the blankets up to your chin. “better than ever.”
you stay like that for a while, cuddled up on the couch, barely paying attention to the tv playing in the background. you realize you must’ve fallen asleep at some point, because when you look back up at the screen, the simpsons have been replaced by a football game. but it felt so good finally being back in joshua’s arms, you don’t care about missing your favorite show. you’ve seen every episode, anyway.
it’s late evening when joshua finally gets up off the couch, sliding out from underneath you to stretch his legs. he wanders out of the room, and you crane your neck to watch him enter the kitchen. soon you hear the clanking of pans and the fan above the oven, and a little while later he returns with a bowl in his hand, steam rising from the surface.
you drag yourself upright, making space on your lap as he carefully hands you the dinner he made. “what kind this time?” you ask, peering into the bowl.
“chicken noodle,” he says. “sorry, it’s all we have left. i’ll run to the store tomorrow.”
you swirl your spoon around the bowl, waiting for your soup to cool off a bit. “no, it’s fine, i like chicken noodle.”
he sits back down next to you. “we need groceries anyway, i’ll pick some up on my way from work tomorrow. write me a list if there’s anything else you want while i’m out.”
you bring a spoonful of broth to your lips and blow gently. you never have to ask him for things like this; he always just does them. he always seems to know exactly what you need and when you need it.
you take a sip of soup, the warm liquid soothing your throat. “thank you.”
he smiles. “of course, baby.”
as you eat your soup you watch the sun fall lower and lower through the window, the evening quickly growing dark and turning into night. joshua gets up to plug in the strings of lights draped across your fireplace mantle, and instantly the room fills with bright, colorful pinpricks of light.
you glance up at him standing in front of you, holding out his hand to take your empty bowl. “i can do it,” you say stubbornly, moving the blankets and starting to stand. but you stand up too quickly, and a fit of coughing overcomes you and forces you to sit back down to catch your breath.
he gives you a look. “c’mon, baby, just give it to me.”
you scowl and hand it to him, feeling bad at the fact that he’s cleaning up for you and at the fact that you were unable to do a task as simple as taking a dirty dish to the kitchen.
he reaches down to rub your shoulder with his other hand. “i’m sorry you’re sick, sweetheart,” he says. “if there was anything i could do to make you better faster, i’d do it.”
you sigh. “i know you would, joshua.”
he leans down to press a quick kiss to your forehead, giving you a smile as he walks back out of the room. you can only hope you’ll recover as soon as possible, so you can spend the holiday season with your love without this stupid cold.

it's a wonderful life
Tumblr media
day two of junkissed's svt season's greetings event
member — angel!jeonghan x reader genre — fluff, strangers to lovers word count — 2.2k synopsis — how were you to know that a holiday trip to the toy store would lead you not only to a sexy doctor who’s good with kids, but also a real-life angel? warnings — spoiler alert jeonghan is the sexy doctor, mention of alcohol (wine) at the end and reader is implied to be a lil tipsy, one (1) kiss notes — lowercase intended. this is the result of me watching too much "the good doctor" recently gsdkhf. when i first wrote this i wasn't very happy with it but after reading it back i really like it hehe :) hope you enjoy!
one reblog = one heavenly toy store
Tumblr media
a bell rings cheerily above your head as you walk into the store.
on the outside, it looks like any other toy store, but the second you open the door you know there’s something special about this place. stepping inside is like stepping into a whole new world. the walls are decorated in colorful murals, shelves, and artwork from kids.
“can i help you find something?” a voice asks.
you turn to see a man wearing an apron, holding a stack of board games under one arm.
“i’m jeonghan,” he smiles. “i own the store.”
you don’t know why, but for some reason you feel the need to introduce yourself. you’ve only just met this man, but you have a sense that he’s… important.
“nice to meet you,” he says, shaking your hand.
you look around. you’ve come in before your shift, so it’s still early; not many people around. “if you own the store… then, who’s angel?” you ask.
“hm? oh!” he laughs. “no, it’s not ‘angel’ like somebody’s name. it’s angel, like, actual angels.”
suddenly the crayon halos on the drawings by the register make a lot more sense. “that’s cute,” you smile. “must bring in a lot of people during christmastime, right?”
“it’s a magical time of year,” he agrees with a wink, “you never know what might happen. so what are you here for? what kind of magic can i get you?”
you pause. “well, i need to get something nice for the little girl i babysit. she’s, um… she’s just gotten out of the hospital,” you say, trying to find the right words to describe the situation. “she’s been through a lot this year.”
your friend’s daughter was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer a year ago, and after months of chemo and many surgeries, she’s finally cancer-free, just in time for the holidays. so of course, this christmas will be extra special, and you can’t disappoint her.
jeonghan nods, lost in thought. “you know, i think she would love this,” he says suddenly, turning down an aisle and waving for you to follow him. “it’s a new item, we haven’t put them out on display yet, but it’d be great for her!”
the way he talks as if he knows the little girl throws you off a little, but you brush it off as him just being passionate about his job.
he pulls out a kit from a large box, clearly waiting to be loaded onto the shelves. it’s a doll set themed like a doctor, complete with little bandages and a stethoscope and everything you could want if you were a child obsessed with
“it’d be perfect for her,” he beams, handing it to you. how he knows it’s perfect, you have no clue, but it does seem like just the thing for her.
“i’ll take it,” you smile, following him to the register.
Tumblr media
the next day you’re picking up your morning latte from the coffee shop on your way to work when you spot a familiar head of blond hair waiting at a table near the entrance.
“hey! jeonghan, right?” you ask, and he lifts his head from his book.
his face brightens, and he greets you by your name. “hi, yeah! good morning!”
you motion to the empty seat across from him at the table. “are you waiting for someone?”
“not anymore,” he says, flashing a smile. he slides a colorful bookmark in between the pages of his book, and you notice the scribbled design, clearly made by a child. he sweeps his arm out, motioning for you to sit. “are you rushing off anywhere?”
you pull out the chair and set your bag by your feet. “kind of, but i can spare a few minutes,” you giggle.
you notice his outfit, much more professional than the last time you saw him at the store. “how about you? going somewhere fancy this morning?” you ask with a laugh. “a date, perhaps?”
he laughs. “no, no dates. just work.”
you frown in confusion. “do you– always wear a suit to sell toys? i mean, you look great, but i’m sure the kids don’t care what you wear–”
he laughs at your misunderstanding. “ah, not that work,” he says. “the shop is more of a… side project,” he explains with a chuckle. “the rest of the time i’m a pediatric oncologist. children’s cancer doctor.”
“oh, wow!” your eyes widen. there were a lot of assumptions you’d made about jeonghan in the short time you’d known him, but being a doctor was definitely not one of them. “that’s… wow, that’s impressive. and you run the toy store, too?”
he nods. “the toys in the gift shop at the hospital weren’t very… good for kids,” he says. “so i guess you could say it’s more like a charity thing. every month, i bring a bunch of toys from the store for some of the patients.”
you remember the conversation from yesterday about the gift for your friend’s daughter. you’d called them to make sure it was something she’d enjoy, and it turns out jeonghan couldn’t have been more correct: they said her current dream was to become a doctor, all she’d been doing the last week was scheduling check-ups for stuffed animals and giving flu shots to the family dog.
now, with this new information about the mysterious yet friendly man from the toy store, you can’t help but wonder if he knows your little girl, or maybe even treated her. you make a mental note to ask your friend for the name of their doctor when you see them next, to confirm a suspicion.
“sounds like you’re a busy guy,” you say with a smile.
he shrugs, stirring his latte with a wooden stirrer. “can be tiring sometimes, but it’s good work. i love it, and i love the kids.”
“so you’re a doctor, and you run a charity, and you like kids? what can’t you do?” you grin, taking a sip of your drink.
he laughs, holding up his paper cup. “make coffee.”
“i’m just surprised i haven’t seen you around more often,” you say. “it’s a fairly small town, yet it seems like all of a sudden i’m seeing you everywhere.”
the conversation fizzles out then, and you sit there, taking small sips of your drinks and pretending not to stare at him. he’s got this glow around him, like you can’t take your eyes off him.
you stand and start to turn to walk away, but an instinct makes you stop. like you’re being pulled back to him, like there’s still something you need to say.
you clear your throat. “i, um, i usually get coffee in the mornings before work here. maybe i’ll see you around?”
he looks up, meeting your eyes. “i’m sure i’ll see you again, very soon,” he says with a smile. “but just in case i don’t, here’s my card.”
he hands you a business card, and it seems to shimmer in the light. yoon jeonghan, head angel, it says on one side, with a list of numbers on the back.
he blushes and looks back down at his book, pretending to study the title. “call me if you ever need something. or, uh, just if you want to.”
you grin, shifting your bag higher onto your shoulder and slipping the card into your back pocket. “i’ll do that,” you say with a smile.
Tumblr media
the third time you run into jeonghan is in a place you’d least expect an angel to be: the highway.
it’s been a week from hell (metaphorically) at work, and this morning you’d not only forgotten your phone at home, but then your car’s battery died on the way home from your closing shift. you’d just barely been able to make it to the side of the road before it died, forcing you to either wait in your car in the cold, or walk the half mile to the nearest exit to call a tow. you’d opted for the latter.
a shiny white car pulls up next to you, the driver’s side window rolling down to reveal a familiar face. “need some help?”
you look up in shock. “jeonghan? what are you doing here?”
“sweetheart, i should be asking you the same thing,” he laughs. “why are you walking along the highway at eleven o’clock at night?”
“car battery died,” you explain with a sigh.
“i figured,” he says, raising his eyebrows. “now, are you going to let me give you a ride, or not?”
you don’t have to be told twice. your fingers are beginning to freeze, and you would literally rather be anywhere right now than standing on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.
the heater inside the car is wonderful, and you breathe a sigh of relief, pushing your hands against the vent to feel the warmth.
finally starting to warm up, you glance over at jeonghan, clearly on his way home from work, too. his white dress shirt is pushed up around his elbows, and the first three buttons are hanging undone, revealing pretty pale skin underneath. you have to drag your eyes away from him before you get caught staring at things you shouldn’t.
“doctor work or toy store work today?” you ask for the sake of conversation, even though you already know the answer.
“doctor work,” he confirms with a nod of his head.
“how was it? if-if i’m not prying.”
he pauses. “the usual, i suppose,” he sighs. “good news, bad news, hard decisions.”
he clears his throat. “so where am i dropping you off? house, apartment, boyfriend’s apartment?” he asks hesitantly. “or girlfriend? somebody?”
“just apartment,” you answer with a grin, telling him what you hope he wanted to hear with that question. “it’s just me.”
he looks over at you, his whole face lighting up. the moment is really nice, until you realize, his face is actually lighting up.
“jeonghan! your, um… why is your head glowing?”
his eyes flick back to the road for a second. “no– no reason,” he says, his cheeks turning pink under the light.
you stare at him, dumbfounded.
he sighs. “you don’t believe me.”
you watch his hands, holding tightly to the wheel.
“what’s going on? are you, like, a demon, or something?”
“ouch,” he cringes, glancing over at you. “no, i’m an angel, actually. the halo goes off sometimes when i’m… happy.”
you sit in silence, mouth hanging open as he continues to drive. “well, at least it makes sense now.”
he raises an eyebrow, but his gaze doesn’t move from the road. “so you do believe me.”
“do you wanna stay for dinner?” you ask suddenly. there’s so much you’re dying to know, dying to ask him, dying to figure out what the hell is happening.
the car is dead silent for a few seconds, and you’re starting to think you’ve imagined this whole thing and you’re actually still back in your freezing car, dying of hypothermia. until jeonghan finally speaks, and you know you’re in for an interesting night.
“you like takeout?”
a pepperoni pizza, one bottle of wine, and many, many questions later, you’re laying on your couch, trying to process everything that just happened.
an actual, real-life angel is sitting on the floor of your living room, and not only is he a doctor, and he’s great with kids, but he’s also unfairly hot. and maybe it’s the wine talking and you’re more than a little tipsy, but all of a sudden you really, really want to kiss him.
“jeonghan?” you sit up, reaching out for his hand. “are you allowed to kiss me?” you whisper.
he looks up at you, his eyes searching yours. “if you want me to,” he whispers back.
“you won’t get in trouble with the angel people? or, like, god?”
he chuckles and stands up, moving closer to you. “i might. but it’d be worth it, for you.”
and then his hand is on the back of your neck, pulling you gently towards him, and suddenly you’re kissing him. his lips taste like clouds (what the hell do clouds even taste like?) and his touch is softer than anything you’ve ever felt, the tips of his fingers gently grasping onto your jaw and he leans into you.
you pull away after a while and sigh, the fog in your head beginning to clear.
he’s sitting next to you, watching you in what you can only describe as anxiousness.
“why me?” you ask quietly. “i know you did it on purpose, meeting me all those times. but why?”
he laughs softly and reaches out to touch your cheek, thumb tracing your cheekbone. “i don’t know why. but i’m drawn to you.” he tilts his head to look at you. “i think… i really like you.”
he pauses, bringing your hand up to his mouth and pressing a kiss to your fingers. “i’ll take you on a real date, yeah?” he says. “somewhere nice.”
“it’s a miracle,” you nod, giggling. “i found an angel.”

sweater wars
Tumblr media
day five of junkissed's svt season's greetings event
member — soonyoung x reader genre — fluff, angst, hurt/comfort (happy ending) word count — 1.3k synopsis — you thought it’d be a fun idea to wear matching outfits to your office's holiday get-together. soonyoung, not so much. warnings — an angsty lil argument but it's resolved quickly, honestly that's it notes — lowercase intended. this is proofread very little so i apologize -.-
one reblog = one tiger print christmas sweater
Tumblr media
“this is so awful. you couldn’t have picked something else? anything else?”
soonyoung groans from behind the bedroom door.
“that’s the whole point of buying these for each other! you can’t bring your own sweater to an ugly holiday sweater party!” you call back.
“but i picked a nice one for you! can i at least take it off once we get there?”
“nope, you gotta wear it the whole night! now c’mon, soonie, i wanna see!”
the door opens reluctantly and a pouting boyfriend steps out, wearing probably the worst looking ugly sweater in history.
you giggle and clap your hands. “you look so cute!”
he glares at you. “this is the opposite of cute! you could’ve at least gotten one with tiger print on it,” he says, walking down the stairs away from you.
“that wouldn’t have been ugly enough!” you protest. “we’ve gotta have the worst to win the contest, i’m tired of mingyu winning every year.”
you flip off the upstairs light and race down the stairs to the living room area where he’s waiting. he’s standing in front of the hall mirror, staring at his reflection with a frown. 
you walk over and slide your hands around his waist from behind. 
“are you feeling festive?” you ask, grinning over his shoulder.
“sure thing,” he groans, rolling his eyes. “remind me why we’re doing this again?”
“because it’s the office holiday party! free drinks, free food, making fun of our coworkers! and we’ll have fun, and then we’ll come home. like we do every year.”
“how come you didn’t make me do this last year, then?”
you pout. “c’mon,” you say, patting his stomach and stepping around him so you’re at his side. “look how good we look together, even in these awful outfits.”
you grab a santa hat from the closet and fix it on his head. “mr. claus, reporting for duty!” you giggle, trying to lighten his mood. 
but not even your joke can put a smile on his face. 
he sighs and grabs his coat, opening the door. “well, let’s go get this over with.”
the drive to the restaurant isn’t far, and because the traffic isn’t as bad later in the evenings, the drive goes by quickly. 
when you get in the car, you plug your phone into the aux, like you always do. but before you can play anything, soonyoung cuts you off.
“can you not play music? it’s distracting,” he says, his eyes never leaving the road.
you look over at him. “why are you being so grumpy tonight? we always have music, especially during the holidays. first the sweater, now this?”
he ignores your question. “is there anyone at this party i even know?” he asks, exiting the highway.
you frown. “yeah, most of them were there last year.”
“i was way too drunk last year to know anybody i was talking to,” he says, finally cracking a little bit of a smile.
you grin back, relieved that he’s finally stopped being moody. “see? it’s gonna be fun,” you say.
but to your dismay, his smile disappears almost as quickly as it came. “yeah, because this is definitely how i wanted to be spending today,” he glowers.
your eyebrows knit together, trying to figure out what he’s talking about. “what’s so special about today? why are you throwing a fit?”
he stiffens.
“soonyoung, what is going on? what is making you so upset?”
an awkward silence fills the car for a few seconds, before he finally answers. “you forgot our anniversary.”
“no i didn’t, it’s tomor–” you stop suddenly. ohh, crap.
okay, maybe you did forget your anniversary. but it’s been a busy past few weeks, and it’s not like you forgot about it entirely; you just lost track of the days. 
“why didn’t you just tell me, soonie?” you ask softly. “i wouldn’t have forced you to come if i’d realized. i mean, i did realize, just– not today.”
he sighs, keeping his eyes on the road. “well, you really wanted to go,” he says.
your face falls. “i only wanted to go because i wanted to be with you. i don’t care about the party, or the stupid sweater contest. i just wanted a fun evening together.”
he stays quiet, just keeps driving.
“soonyoung, can you pull over?” you say finally, exasperated.
“why?”
“because! will you do it, please?”
he doesn’t reply, but the car starts to slow, pulling over in front of an apartment complex, decorated with strings of white lights. the car rolls to a stop, and for the first time all night, he looks over at you.
his eyes look… not sad, but disappointed. and it breaks your heart, because if you’d only just paid a little more attention, or put an alarm on your phone, or done anything, you wouldn’t have ended up dragging soonyoung to this stupid, meaningless event when there are so many wonderful things you could’ve been doing together on your anniversary.
but because he’s just sweet the way he is, he was going along with this, because he thought it’s what you wanted. because he really would do anything for you. 
you watch his eyes, waiting for him to say something, but he’s waiting for you. “can we go home, please?”
his face stays blank. “why?”
you sigh and slump back in your seat. “because i don’t want you to be unhappy, and i don’t wanna be anywhere that makes you unhappy. i want to go home so we can spend what’s left of our anniversary together and i can try to fix this.”
you look down at your lap, avoiding his gaze, but by doing so you miss the way his furrowed brows soften and the way his cheeks lift a little.
there’s an awkward silence for a few more seconds before soonyoung starts the car again. “pizza or chinese?” he asks, and you look up, confused.
“what?”
“what do you wanna get for dinner? pizza, or chinese?”
you smile hesitantly, not sure if it’s supposed to be a trick question or not. of course you’ll choose his favorite. “chinese?”
he looks over at you and fully smiles, and it feels like a weight is lifted off your shoulders.
after picking up takeout, you sit on the couch, eating quietly as the tv plays in the background.
you swallow and put your chopsticks down. “i’m sorry, soonie. about everything. i swear i didn’t forget, i just didn’t realize what day it was.”
“i know, baby,” he says, exhaling. “i’m sorry, too.”
you sigh. “i kinda deserved it, though. i could’ve set reminders or something.”
“no, but i was being a brat about it. i overreacted, i didn’t have to be so rude,” he says. “next time, i promise, i’ll say something, okay?”
“i hope there won’t be a next time,” you laugh, taking another bite, and he smiles.
you pause, thinking while you finish chewing. “you still have tomorrow off, right?”
“mhm.” he nods. “why?”
“we’ll do everything tomorrow instead, then. i have some… surprises for you,” you say, flashing a grin.
he raises an eyebrow. “what kind of surprises?”
you giggle. “i can’t tell you, it’d ruin it! but… i can give you this.”
you jump up from the couch and run to the hall closet, grabbing the paper gift bag from where you’d hidden it in the very back.
you come back into the room and hand it to him excitedly. “happy anniversary.”
he beams, carefully throwing the colorful tissue paper onto the ground. you grin, waiting for his reaction
“oh my god, i love him!” his whole face lights up as he pulls the little tiger plushie out of the bag. he squeezes the stuffed animal to his chest. “our first kid!”
you laugh, eyes widening. “woah, woah, first? slow down there, tiger.”
“you don’t want more tiger babies with me?” he pretends to pout, looking up at you with pleading eyes. he turns his plushie around to face you, waving its little arms at you, and you can’t help but smile.
“we’ll see what they have at target.”

here comes santa claus
Tumblr media
day eleven of junkissed's svt season's greetings
member — bf!seungkwan x reader genre — fluff, humor word count — 1.0k synopsis — every christmas eve, you and seungkwan have a movie marathon and compete to see who can stay up the latest. he always wins, but you don’t mind. warnings — this is specifically about christmas, they watch dvds (i know, it’s a sin), mention of murder (in regards to cookies a la vernon “i’m going to murder these tacos”), cheesy cheesy romance fluff notes — lowercase intended. it's already christmas in most of the world but for me it's still christmas eve so. merry christmas to those who celebrate!
one reblog = one holiday dvd
Tumblr media
“alright, let’s get this night started!"
you walk out of the kitchen, arms packed full of snacks and drinks for the long night ahead. you and seungkwan have made it a holiday tradition every christmas eve to spend the day doing as many christmas-y things as possible, and then spend the night watching as many christmas movies as you possibly can. there are a few you have to watch every year: the polar express, the nightmare before christmas, the grinch. but the rest are totally spontaneous. the new christmas cartoon that came out this month. the really awful hallmark romcom that just happened to be playing when you flipped the channel. the first result on netflix when he searches “snow”. all of it’s fair game.
the other part of your christmas eve extravaganza is your competition to see who can stay up the latest. it wasn’t originally part of the tradition, but when you’d fallen asleep at 8pm one christmas eve and seungkwan had teased you relentlessly for it, you’d made a bet he couldn’t last longer than you next year. the following christmas, when you were fighting to stay awake past midnight and he was giggling into his mug of cocoa about how you’d never beat him, you knew you couldn’t let your reputation go down without a fight. and being the stubborn people both of you are, it’d become an annual thing.
“sure you won’t pass out during ‘home alone’ again?” he teases, taking the steaming mugs of apple cider from your hands so you can set the rest of the snacks down.
“nope,” you say confidently. you plop down on the couch, reaching for the bag of sour gummy worms. “not this year.”
“sure,” he smiles. “whatever you say.”
early in the evening, it’s still light outside, but you’ve drawn the curtains shut to give the room a cozy nighttime feel.
seungkwan grabs the tv remote and changes the input to the dvd player, where he’s already loaded in your beloved copy of “a christmas story”.
you throw a blanket over your lap and bring your legs up onto the couch, sitting cross-legged. as the movie starts, he reaches for one of the cookies you’d decorated together as one of your daytime activities; a bright red snowman that looks more like a murder victim than a cute winter friend. they’re for sure the ugliest cookies the two of you have ever made, but the fun you had while making them together more than makes up for the lack of artistic talent. (seungkwan would argue he does, in fact, have artistic talent, but his headless reindeer would beg to differ.)
with the house lights off and nothing but the christmas tree and the fast fading light of evening to brighten the house, the atmosphere is cozy.
you don't notice how quickly it gets dark outside until the credits have started to roll and you glance over towards the window. seungkwan gets up to change the dvd for movie number two while you get up to stretch your legs, stiff from sitting on them for so long.
you meander around the room, hovering by the side table for a moment to switch on the lamp before making your way to the kitchen to rinse your mug and get a fresh cup of cocoa.
"what'd you choose next?" you call across the sink into the living room.
"uh-uh, surprise! now come back before i eat the rest of your cookies."
you giggle, throwing a handful of marshmallows and a spoon in your cup before taking your seat once again.
before the next movie starts, as he's booting up netflix to find whatever horrible holiday rom-coms they've put out this year, you start thinking about everything that's happened in the past few years. just taking a moment to be grateful for all the wonderful memories you've made and the people you've met— including the man in your living room, currently battling with the tv settings to figure out why the internet won't connect.
one movie ends and another begins, and the countdown to midnight getting smaller and smaller. at one point you flip over on your side and lay across seungkwan's lap as he gently pats your hair. he's probably trying to lull you to sleep so he can win again, you figure, but you're so cozy and content you can't bring yourself to care.
as one of the last movies comes to an end, you can't help but be excited for the holiday season. for many people the festivities end the day after christmas, but in the boo household there's always something to celebrate. you always get more excited as christmas eve goes on and christmas day gets closer; even though your christmases now are nothing like they were when you were a kid, you still feel as giddy as a child eagerly waiting up to see a glimpse of santa clause. there's something about the holidays and spending the days with the person you love; there's nowhere you'd rather be.
and when you start to dose off during the polar express, seungkwan's not even glad he won your little competition yet again. sure, the bragging rights are nothing to complain about, but when he looks across the couch and sees your eyes peacefully closed, the sweetest look of christmas bliss on your face, that's better than any prize in the world.
