TAEMIN: BACK TO YOU (HC REQUEST)

*side note, I’m not the best at writing fluff lol, it’s been some years since I’ve writing fluff that wasn’t full of cliches or overly dramatic, but I can assure you that after I dust off the hopeless romantic version of me hiding in the closet I will be posting more fluff even outside of requests* (requested by @criistig10) I hope you like it, sorry for the wait🫶🏾😸

Fluff, slight angst if you squint super hard, and (female) idol/actor y/n.

•You and Taemin dated for about four to five years before you broke up

-it was kinda like a twin flame, meant to be, crossed lovers, another half of me, my mirror, type of love, you were basically in love before even dating and when you finally did make things official, you became that obnoxiously happy and in love couple that everyone expected to get married

-Jonghyun, Kibum, Minho, and Jinki often joked that if he broke up with you, they'd be more heartbroken than you just because they were that supportive of your relationship

-you didn’t immediately go public with your relationship, instead, you kept it private and that was fine for both of you since his idol lifestyle and your actor/idol lifestyle can be a little unforgiving to relationships

•unfortunately, your relationship ended due to both of your hectic schedules

-you had just got cast for a new drama with Lee Dongwook and Im Siwan, and Taemin was scheduled to tour with Superm, meaning that you hardly had any time to spend together, you both always found yourself stressed out trying to scrape together more than two hours to see each other but it just became too much eventually

-at first, it wasn’t that bad, but right after his tour with Superm ended, he began working on his solo comeback, so there was no time to be together and go on cute dates or even talk really

-after a while even texting and phone calls became too much, at first you never even worried about texting him since Taemin is infamous for his horrible texting skills, but with that being your last resort you had no other choice but to deal with it

-Taemin tried his best to keep up and get better at responding to texts, he’d text you first every morning and try to respond within at least five minutes, but since you were still doing promotions for the new drama you’d take hours to respond

-just when you were done with all of your promotions and things were starting to seem better, Taemin was once again preparing for a new comeback with SHINee and had multiple reality shows and interviews to do, so even though you were free, he was extremely busy

-it only got worse when you started working on music again, it wasn’t like it was your choice though, your company was adamant about you working on a new album, so in the same year that Taemin had been working with Superm, working on a new solo album, and album with Shinee, (not to mention all of the lives he’d do), you were working on dramas, music, reality shows, and even hosting for award shows.

-It’s needless to say that neither of you had the time on your hands for a relationship at the time.

•You both tried to make time to talk, but it seemed nearly impossible, he was always out either doing photoshoots, promos, shooting music videos, recording, or practicing, and you were either recording for new songs, rehearsing for new shows, doing interviews, or doing promos and photoshoots

-eventually got too tiring for both of you and when you did finally get a second alone, you had your first real fight

-Taemin was upset that you were spending so much time with others and not him and you were upset that he made it seem like you had a choice to

-a hour of arguing later and a few raised voices, Taemin apologized and admitted that all of the work has been getting to him and seeing you get so close with others was making him jealous and it just hasn't been helping

- you accepted his apology, he's always been the first to apologize even if it wasn't ever an argument, if he upset you in the slightest, he'd be the first to say sorry.

•Unfortunately, even though he apologized and things seemed fine, he realized that you were both just too stressed for a relationship and decided that you should go on a break until you were both free again

-it was a hard decision to make, but after he explained that he would only be until you were both done with your current situation, you agreed and decided that it would be the last night that you stayed together

-Taemin didn't want to let you go, he made sure he held you closely and constantly reminded you that he loves you, he didn't want to say anything but he was worried that you'd decide that you didn't want to continue things, what he didn't know was you felt the same

•After just a month of being split, you were finally finished with your insane schedule, but Taemin was only getting deeper into his, eventually, you decided to take a hiatus so you could be sure that you wouldn't be busy when he finished

-you announced to your fans and explained that you'd be back soon and that you would be taking time away due to personal reasons since you had never gone public about your relationship

-when Taemin heard about it he assured you that the second he was able to, he'd come back to you and make sure things would be completely perfect, he even promised to watch that show you had been bugging him about and him being his dramatic self, planned a whole romantic dinner and started to prepare a gift you'd never expect

•But, the day before he finished, he was told about his enlistment, and before being able to go back to you, he had to enlist and without being able to properly say goodbye, he left

-you were shocked when he called you about it, you cried immediately but tried your best to be strong, you didn’t want to worry so much but it was starting to look like you’d never end this break and his worrying didn’t make it any better

-it hurt you so deeply to see pictures of him leaving all over, no matter where you went, you saw pictures of him all over, a poster saying goodbye, videos of his live the week before, and edits of him with Shinee and Superm, it all made you sob, you missed him so much

-but he was in the same boat, fans of yours were posting clips and edits of you wishing for a healthy break, writing about how much they’d miss you and the drama you were in before leaving began to trend so much that he couldn’t avoid it

-the first week of being gone, he began watching other shows you had filmed, even though watching them made him tear up every time, he missed your face and felt comforted by seeing you.

•After two long years of him being gone, you were still on hiatus, the breakup had torn you to shreds and you just couldn't take going back to work

-you expected him to be back sooner but it felt like the universe didn't want you to be happy, his discharge was pushed back three more months and you were left waiting again

-you hadn't talked the entire time of his being there because he used his free time to talk to his family and his members, you assumed that he just got over you though, not knowing that he mentioned you every time he talked to anyone else

-he tried texting you and calling, but every time he ended up getting distracted by something else

•When Taemin went to Jinki's concert (just a month before his discharge) he saw a poster of you hanging outside of the stadium saying that you were staring in a new show

-he immediately looked it up and was devastated to see that it was a romance, the helpless lonely romantic in him couldn't help but spend the whole time thinking of and talking to Minho about you

-he thought about you so much, that he couldn't even stay for the rest of the concert because he kept tearing up and had to leave early

-while leaving he saw a bus with you on it promoting your new single, it only hurt him worse when he listened to it and found out that it was about a lost love

•Eventually though, that last month was over and Taemin was finally back, you waited that whole month completely glued to your phone whenever you got the chance

-you participated in the countdown and posted every day until he got back, you expected him to like the post or at least your story but he never did, he didn’t even see it, but you kept posting

-on the last day of the countdown though, he sent you a lengthy text, telling you how badly he missed you and how this time he’s not going to let you go, the message made you tear up right away, and when he asked you if you were busy that weekend you told him no and canceled the dinner you had with your cast members

•Cue cliche romance in the rain kissing scene, Taemin heard that it was going to rain on Sunday and instead of planning for Saturday he thought the rain would make things more romantic

-if it was possible to max out a black card he would’ve done it that night

-he got the driver to buy three beautiful bouquets of your favorite flowers from a really expensive florist shop since he missed three anniversaries but that was only the start

-when you got to his house he had bought three life-size bears with voice messages in them, one was from the first anniversary he missed before he enlisted and the other two were during his enlistment, he bought three different cakes, nine pairs of expensive shoes, six sets of diamond earrings to match all the shoes, three matching necklaces with all the earrings, and nine bracelets all for the three missed anniversaries.

•You tried to convince him to return it after finding out how much he spent but he was set on you keeping it all, especially since he saved the best part for last

-Taemin may be able to cook a few things, but instead of cooking he ordered your favorite foods to make sure you’d enjoy them, and you did, every second you were spending together made you fall in love all over again, but it wasn’t the dinner or the gifts, it was seeing him again and hearing his voice, the way he hugged you when he saw you and the warmth you felt gave you butterflies that you had missed dearly

-After dinner, you expected the gift-giving to be over and to finally sit down and address the elephant in the room, but Taemin had one more thing to give you, something he had waited years for

•As you entered his living room while wiping your wet hands on your pants, you froze in shock

-As Taemin stood in front of you with the lights low and his two cat babies at his feet eating a treat he gave them to convince them to sit still for a while your heart began to pound, the way he smiled at you gave away what he was going to do next, but nothing could’ve prepared you for the sight of Taemin getting down on one knee

-As he looked up at you it felt like the world had stopped, the shine in his slightly teary eyes and the smile on his face made your knees feel weak, and when he pulled the small black box from his back pocket and opened it your eyes watered

-“Will you-“ he didn’t even get to finish before you tackled him in a hug, crying as you chanted ‘Yes!’ Over and over again

•Taemin had been planning to propose to you when you told him you were going on hiatus and originally bought the ring two months before and planned to do it on your anniversary, and thought that he’d never be able to when he enlisted

-After you said yes to marrying him he adorably asked you to be his girlfriend again with that cute cheeky smile he has whenever he does something slightly unhinged

-you of course said yes, despite both of your worries that things would get hectic again you both agreed to work through it because being apart was worse than having less time to spend together

-but you didn’t have to worry about it for a while, although Taemin was doing a fan meet and you were promoting your new song, you both had time to see each other and eventually, you decided that it would be a better idea if you lived together

•As time passed your schedule changes and becomes hectic, but with new living arrangements it’s more manageable, and although he’s still bad at responding to texts, seeing him every night makes it more than tolerable.

You are our ‘W’ (a NU’EST Fanfic)

Hi hi, it has been a hot minute since I have written anything, whoops. Sorry about that. Anyway, this is still kindda late, but I got inspired by NU’EST rendition of Deja Vu at KCON LA (pledis stop being coward and officially release that shit). Feel free to reach out to give feedback to requests~

---

“I’m back, sorry for the delay rehearsals dragged on longer than we expected”, Minhyun trudges into the NU’EST practice room after a long day of musical rehearsals.

Being in a musical was a lifelong dream of his, but with the concerts and KCON and photoshoots and preparing new music the intense rehearsals and new genre was wearing him out. Yet the warm fox could only think I got to do better. Truth be told Minhyun was always very anxious. Behind his calm, cool, city-oppa face were worries and stresses he never dared reveal to anyone (even his brothers). Will the fans accept me again? Do we still look good as a group? Maybe the world wants NU’EST W and not NU’EST. Will those akgaes attack my babies again? Are we going to succeed as five? Was Produce and Wanna One even worth it? These thoughts weighed heavy on his mind ever since he returned to the familiar halls of Pledis to once again share the stage with his sworn brothers. These are things that plague his mind at night, robbing him of his sleep, even after the success of “Bet Bet”.

Success is fleeting, it could have been a mere fluke. Minhyun of all people understood that cruel reality of the entertainment world. That is why he is determined to work harder, not only for himself but for NU’EST. He couldn’t let them fail again.

With that in mind he looks around an unusually quiet practice room. The only sound that could be heard was the whirring of the air conditioning blowing at max speed. And the only sight to be seen was Aron, JR, Ren and Baekho huddled together in the middle of the practice room.

“What are you guys doing?” Minhyun asks while setting down his things and changing into fresh practice clothes.

“Planning our set list for KCON LA,” Ren replies his eyes not tearing away from whatever the four were looking at.

“Oh right, we wanted to do a special stage right? Maybe we could perform our older songs like VVITH, or maybe remix of one of our newer songs? I heard Baekho and Bumzu-hyung working on some stuff the other day it sounds really good,” Minhyun suggests lazily while fixing his hair in the adjacent mirror.

“Yea we could, but we want something that would be shocking and unexpected,” Aron sneaks up behind the tall pale fox and locked his arms behind him as if to physically represent the “shocking and unexpected” performance they wanted.

“Oh my gosh, yaaaa, hyung what are you doing?”

“Surpriseeeeee,” Aron teases.

JR gets off the floor and approaches Minhyun with a sneaky smile.

Oh my gosh they are gonna tickle me, Minhyun thought. Ever since August began the boys have been relentless in teasing Minhyun at every given opportunity, regardless of whether it is celebrating his birthday early while they were in Jakarta, or just random tickles as “gifts of love”. Even when his birthday passed their childish antics didn’t stop, though Minhyun undeniably enjoyed the attention as well.

Minhyun squints his eyes in preparation for the attack but all he was met with was a slight prick to his forehead. Cautiously he opens his eyes to come face to face with a giggling Beakho, JR and Ren.

“I’m not gonna tickle you, this is serious. Pick one this is your last birthday present from us,” JR laughs while showing off three envelopes for Minhyun to pick.

“What are they?” Minhyun questions suspiciously.

“The final piece to our set list, c’mon just pick one, our proposal is due to the managers tomorow we gotta hurry!” Baekho rushed while holding in his laughter.

Hmpfh, whatever, how bad could it be?

After Aron releases him from his arrest, he casually picks off the right-most envelope from JR’s hand.

“Oooooooooo, so you have made your decision. Let’s see what it is,” Aron quips excitedly.

JR, Baekho and Ren are also holding in their smiles at this moment, in anticipation of Minhyun’s reaction to their little surprise.

What is wrong with them? With one smooth action Minhyun rips the envelop open and takes out a small piece of paper.

On the paper it simply wrote “Deja Vu”.

“Haha, Hwang Minhyun you have chosen Deja Vu by NU’EST to be performed at KCON LA 2019,” Ren announced while mimicking Lee Dongwook’s tone from Produce X 101.

Aron, JR and Baekho begin celebrating the event but they notice that Minhyun hadn’t moved an inch, staring at the paper, eyes swelling with tears, on the verge of crying.

“What do you mean. This is my present? How is this a present for me?!! How is performing without me a present FOR ME?!! I knew you guys like to tease me but this is too much,” Minhyun yells in frustration and rubs away the tears in his eyes. In a fit of fury he grabs his bags and heads towards the door of the practice room, he was in no mood to practise with these assholes tonight.

“Wait wait wait wait, hold up hold up, you’ve got this all wrong, we aren’t performing without you, we are all performing together,” Baekho lunges forward and hugs Minhyun from the back preventing him from leaving. Meanwhile, Aron, JR and Ren form a human barricade between upset fox and the exit.

“How are we going to perform this song together?! You wrote this for NU’EST W, there aren’t parts for me. Unless you want me to just be a back up dancer for you guys, which i refuse to do!”

“Oh my gosh, what is going on in your head, and here we thought you were gonna love this. Hold on, gimme a sec, hold on,” Baekho struggles to keep a hold on Minhyun in one arm while he struggled to pull out a pair of earphones connected to his iPhone.

In a rough motion Baekho plugs a earbud into Minhyun’s ear and turns the music on.

At first it sounded like the original version of Deja Vu. Light and mysterious, absolutely beautiful, but to Minhyun it felt like it was mocking him for his absence. Just when he had just about had enough and was ready to make a break for the door the music changed.

The bridge, the bridge was different. A new tune, new lyrics and Bumzu-hyung’s voice?? What does this all mean?

The song comes to and end and Minhyun slumps in Baekho’s arms. “We made remixes of Where You At, Deja Vu and Help Me to fit you in. But they were all too good and we couldn’t decide which one to perform at KCON. We know that you love these songs and have always wanted to perform them but didn’t want to steal mine or Ren’s parts so this was our solution. It’s our last gift to you this year Minhyun-ah,” Aron comforts Minhyun with his calm tone as he gives him a warm hug.

“We didn’t think that it would cause this huge misunderstanding. We aren’t trying to exclude you, if anything we are going to include you in everything we do as a group,” Ren adds his arms into the hugging pile.

“NU’EST is 5, well 6 with we count our L.O.V.Es, but the point is, we can’t do this without you Minhyunnie. You are our ‘W’, so will you join us on this stage?” JR is the last to join in.

Minhyun chokes back the grateful tears that began rising to his tear ducts and says, “Of... Of course I will! I never want to leave you guys ever again!”

HAHAHHAAHHAHAH the boys start chuckling like a fatigued mess and they eventually end up tangled on the ground when they lose their balance. That night, and for the days to come, there was another responsibility added to Minhyun’s to-dos. Recording the new parts for Deja Vu, learning the old and new choreography for the smooth latin track, and rehearsing till the crack of dawn like he always does with his brothers.

It was exhausting, the stress tore away at every fiber of Minhyun’s body. But this was his utopia. He was their ‘W’ when the four boys were without him, but now NU’EST is whole again, and it always will be.

---

On the day of KCON, let’s just say the new version of Deja Vu was very well received ;).
