characters: haechan/female reader genre: fluff, confession word count: 3.9k summary: donghyuck has been trying to confess his feelings to you. third time's the charm, he thinks.

Note: nothing but donghyuck brainrot for valentine's ^_^

❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎

DONGHYUCK KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THE HOLIDAYS—the fairy lights surrounding every place in Gangnam, the Christmas songs playing in every corner of SM Entertainment (courtesy of every EXO Christmas album ever), the sound of kids singing Christmas carols—and he thinks it’s the best time to confess.

It’s a foolproof plan: all he had to do is take you somewhere under a mistletoe, look up and pretend he didn’t know there was one, show it to you, and VIOLA! A kiss under a mistletoe!

However, three hours into the small party the crew members threw for both NCT Dream members and the crew themselves, Donghyuck realizes it’s better said than done. He couldn’t, for the life of him, keep you in his space alone for more than two minutes. People are always pulling you from him—either to ask you to get something for someone or hand you a small Christmas present—and you are always too nice (too kind, oh, be still Lee Donghyuck’s beating heart) to say no.

Sulking, Donghyuck decides to settle on the couch, sitting between Jeno and Jaemin who are arguing about a stupid game they were playing earlier in the night. Donghyuck knows he’s pouting, and he’s pouting really hard hoping you would glance his way and kiss the pout out of his lips. Perhaps if he whines along that cute pout of his, you would hear and come running towards him and call him cute. But none of those happen because, of course, Mark Lee and Park Jisung are hogging you for themselves.

Donghyuck even wore a hoodie with your favorite color so he could catch your eyes tonight, yet here he is: stuck between Jeno and Jaemin who wouldn’t stop debating over everything and nothing at once.

It’s Renjun, bless his heart, who notices Donghyuck sulking while he watches you laugh with Jisung and Mark. Chuckling at Donghyuck’s distress, Renjun pulls him by the hand towards the small table where the sweets are.

“Let me guess,” Renjun starts as he offers a chocolate-covered strawberry to Donghyuck. Donghyuck pries his mouth open to take a bite, eyes still on you. “You’re sulking because she’s not giving you attention.”

“I wore something cute for her,” Donghyuck says while chewing. “But she won’t give me a second of her damn day.”

“It’s because you’re not trying enough,” Renjun answers. “What does she like most about you?”

“Does she even like me?” Donghyuck contemplates.

Renjun laughs, “Of course, she does!”

“Don’t,” Donghyuck whines. “Don’t keep my hopes up. It’ll break my heart.”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Renjun assures. “Come on. Think about it. What does she like most about you?”

Donghyuck thinks as far as his memories allow him. You’ve told him a million times how much you like him—love him, even—and Donghyuck could only hope to become as vocal as you are when it comes to how you feel towards people.

One time, you told him about how easily he could make people gravitate towards him and how much you like his innate talent in grabbing people’s attention (which apparently doesn’t include you because here you are now, giving him 0 attention). Another time, you admitted loving how much he adores and cares for his family—specifically for his younger siblings—and you wish you had someone like him in your family (Donghyuck doesn’t want you to think of him like family, like a brother, damn it. He wants to kiss you on the lips).

Just as Renjun was about to say something, Chenle grabs everyone’s attention by testing the mic from the karaoke the crew had prepared for everyone.

“You know I love you, right?” Donghyuck remembers you asking in a drunken haze that one night you and him drank your guts out two days after his 22nd birthday. Donghyuck remembers nodding, but not truly realizing you had meant it. “I think I love you more and more whenever you sing. Sing for me please.”

Donghyuck remembers singing softly to your ears that night, and he realizes that’s what you probably like most about him.

Hence, he takes the mic from Chenle and enters the code to the first song that comes to his mind. As soon as he starts singing, he notices your attention back to his eyes. Donghyuck smiles in triumph, winking at you as he sings his heart out.

“Express your love four times a day, laugh eight times, kiss me six times,” Donghyuck sings his heart out. “It’s the only password to my heart, No one else can know it, only you can have me, you are my secret, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl!”

When it’s done, Donghyuck finally, finally sees you approaching him. Chenle takes the mic back from him and Donghyuck doesn’t even mind.

“Hello, Ms. Everyone’s Friend, you’ve finally noticed me,” Donghyuck jokes.

“Hey, as soon as you came here I hugged you,” you protest. “Not my fault all your friends like me. Hey, do you have a second?” you ask like Donghyuck wouldn’t give up anything for you.

He nods (a little too quick, a little too obvious), and lets you pull him by the sleeve of his hoodie, taking him to a small storage room, far from the noise and small crowd. Donghyuck isn’t aware of your proximity until you whisper a small hi.

“Hi,” Donghyuck says back, smiling as he look down on you, eyes locked in yours. “What are we doing here?” he whispers.

“I wanted to give you my gifts,” you whisper back. “I didn’t get the others a gift and I really don’t want them to feel upset that I only got something for you.”

“Y/N, my dear, what makes you think I’m not going to brag whatever you have for me on a daily basis?” he asks, chuckling as he watches you take a small box from your pocket of your hoodie.

“I figured you probably already have everything and this is something you can most likely afford to buy ten times, but…” you trail off. Even under the small light bulb, Donghyuck could see the blush on your cheeks.

He takes the small box from your hand, and it’s a box from a luxury brand, Donghyuck suddenly realizes he didn’t get anything for you for Christmas. He opens the present, and it’s that famous Thomas Trench bear bag charm from Burberry.

“He reminded me of you,” you mutter shyly. “You can put it on your hand carry bag whenever you travel. I mean, you’re going on tour with NCT 127, and like I said, it’s nothing big, like I said, you could probably buy this ten times, like I sai—”

“Y/N.” Donghyuck is going to kiss you now. He wraps an arm around your waist, caressing your back as he pulls you close.

“Donghyuck,” you whisper. You look up. Donghyuck does, too, and who would have known? A mistletoe right above the both of you.

Just when Donghyuck is about to lean in, of course—of fucking course, Park Jisung.

“Y/N noona, Renjun is about to sing your favorite song, aren’t—am I interrupting?”

You jump back from Donghyuck’s arm, looking at Jisung, then at Donghyuck, then back to Jisung, who’s still holding the door open.

“No, no,” you stutter a few seconds later. “I’m coming.”

You don’t look back at Donghyuck and follow Jisung.

Park Jisung is so going to get beaten up.

❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎

His second attempt came out of nowhere, unlike the first time he decided he’d confess and finally ask you out.

Donghyuck is in the hospital, and he feels like it’s the shittiest day of his life because it most likely is. They were in the middle of a schedule promoting Candy, and just when the music show was over, Donghyuck’s body failed him. His chest started hammering like crazy, and he had always thought this was normal because it happens to him all the time, until it started to hurt and his body started shaking unceasingly. The medics were quick to get to him as soon as Mark shouted for help. Donghyuck doesn’t really recall much of what happened; all he knows is that his body just collapsed and Jeno and Jaemin helped carry him so he could be transferred to a stretcher and that Renjun was on his phone already calling his Mom, probably because he knows Donghyuck would want them to call his Mom.

When Donghyuck wakes, hazy from the oxygen and the dosages of medicine they’d put through his dextrose, feeling adhesive patches stuck on his chest, he sees you sitting beside him. You’re on your phone, and you quickly bid goodbye to whoever you were speaking with as soon as you see him open his eyes.

“Donghyuck, baby, how are you feeling?” you ask, holding his hand. Donghyuck’s throat is dry so all he could muster up is a nod. “Your Mom and sister went out for a minute to get something to eat. I’ll call the doctor real quick.”

Before you could stand, Donghyuck reaches out to weakly grab your wrist, keeping you still on your seat.

“What is it, my love?” you ask. The influx of nicknames is making his heart hammer against his chest, and it’s proven when the cardiac event recorder starts beeping like crazy behind him. “Donghyuck, calm down. They’re trying to stabilize your heartbeat. I’ll call the doctor.”

“I love you,” Donghyuck barely whispers.

“Oh, baby,” you softly coo. “I love you, too. Now please let me get someone to check on you.”

Donghyuck can’t remember much after that. He could hear his Mom nagging in his ear, something about pacing and how he should really calm down. His sister was just whining in the background, saying that the expensive shit he buys for them aren’t worth it if it means they find him in the hospital multiple times a year. He reckons it’s the dosages of medicine that makes him hazy, but everything else are all blurred and toned down. While he lies on bed, high on oxygen, all he could see clearly is you—the worried look on your face and just the way your eyes are glued to him—and all he could think of is maybe love isn’t all about a big, grand confession one makes an effort to prepare for.

Perhaps love can be as quiet as the way he said I love you, hand weakly holding your wrist, voice barely audible. Perhaps love can be as simple as being there on days as quiet as this.

❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎

The third time Donghyuck musters up the courage to tell you about his feelings is about two months later, when NCT Dream just won the grand prize for a prestigious awards show.

He finds you in the crowd as they perform, and you’ve always been the kind to easily blend in the crowd, wearing your usual crew fit, a lanyard with your ID labeled as NCT Dream’s staff allowing you all access to wherever he is, but Donghyuck’s made it a habit to make sure you know that you stand out whichever crowd you try to blend in. Tonight, Donghyuck winks exactly at your direction when he sings the words to their hit songs, and he does it multiple times, making sure you’re as affected as he is whenever your presence is within a mile radius.

They’re on their way back to the dormitories. Tonight, Donghyuck is staying at NCT Dream’s dorm and will most likely share a bed with Jisung. He had a schedule the next day for 127’s fansign, but he doesn’t have much energy left and would rather share a bed than go back to the other dorm.

You sit on the back of the van with him, and by default your hand intertwines with his as soon as the lights and cameras are out. Donghyuck is so, so, so tired and happy, but he keeps himself cool and calm because he doesn’t need a part two of the hospital scene during the promotions for Candy. But Lord Jesus, what can he do when your first instinct as soon as you and him are out of people’s sight is to hold his hand? You know how much he loves holding hands. You might as well kiss him now if you’re planning his doom.

The other members are quiet. Donghyuck could hear Renjun snoring already.

Gently, you massage the back of Donghyuck’s hand, and seconds later, he could feel your lips softly kissing his fingers, humming the tune to one of the songs playing at the venue before the team left. Donghyuck smiles, content with the way his heart flutters at your actions.

“Y/N,” Dream’s manager asks while he takes a turn, his hands tightly holding the steering wheel. “Shall I drop you off at your building?”

“Yes, please,” you answer. “You know where it is, right?”

The manager hums and makes eye contact with Donghyuck through the rearview mirror. “Donghyuck.”

“Hm?”

“If you want to stay over at Y/N’s, you can. I’ll have someone pick you up at six in the morning tomorrow.”

“Really?” Donghyuck gasps, a little too loudly because Renjun groans as soon as he does. “Sorry. Will you really let me stay over?”

“Unless Y/N says no, then it should be fine. You deserve it,” the manager answers. Donghyuck turns to you, eyes pleading, as if you’d say no.

“As if I’d say no,” you parrot whatever he had in mind.

Donghyuck happily (but quietly) cheers.

“No funny business, Haechan,” the manager reminds as soon as the car stops in front of the building you live in. “Be ready at six in the morning.”

“I love you, hyung,” Donghyuck pouts, sending the manager a flying kiss, before opening the door and jumping, offering his hand to help you. “Thank you. I won’t stay up and I will wake up early.”

The other members mumble a quiet, tired bye-bye, and it seems like only Donghyuck has enough energy left to even tell each member he loves them. Their manager allows you and him to enter the building first before Donghyuck hears them drive away.

 It doesn’t hit Donghyuck that it’s his first time staying over for a night until he hears you lock the door and he gets a full view of your place. His confidence runs low when you start removing your coat and shoes, realizing that holy shit, this is real. He’s really staying the night at the love of his life’s safe place. Will you let him sleep on the same bed? Probably not, what is he even thinking? Of course, he’s sleeping on the floor, and you’re taking the bed. Why does he thi—

“Donghyuck, stop thinking and get rid of your shoes,” you interrupt his thoughts as your enter the small living room area, switching some lights on one by one. “Go take a shower.”

Donghyuck nods, following you while he carries his backpack of necessities. You lead him to the bathroom and tell him you’ll prepare the bed.

When Donghyuck is left alone, he decides that this would be the best time to confess to you, the only time he really can because you’re all alone and there’s no Park Jisung to interrupt your bubble. He starts the shower and composes his thoughts, thinking about the most beautiful words he could string so he could put the message across.

When he’s done, his mind is all fogged up just like the mirror in your bathroom. He hears you knock, asking if he’s done yet because you would also need to shower. He puts his clothes on, a shirt and some sweatpants, drying his hair with the spare towel you prepared for him, and opens the door to find you smiling softly as you wait for him. He steps out and allows you in, finding his feet padding on your warm floor.

“Please make yourself comfortable,” you say before locking the bathroom door. Donghyuck hums.

The door of your bedroom is already open when he reaches it. Donghyuck is suddenly so conscious of his presence inside your safe place, inside the privacy of your home. He’s never been here, and didn’t think this day would come so soon. He doesn’t know where to sit, if he’s even allowed to sit on your bed, and is not sure whether this is okay suddenly.

Your room is almost the same size as the one he shares with Johnny in the dorm. He finds your computer setup in the corner of the room, a small shelf of your favorite books displayed right beside it. He sees a vinyl turntable on top of the small shelf, and he makes a mental note to buy you a record the next time he visit a record store.

Donghyuck honestly doesn’t know what to do, so he settles himself on the swivel chair and takes his phone as he waits for you.

The sound of the shower running stops and the sound of what seems like a hairdryer echoes from the bathroom; it doesn’t take that long until you’re entering your bed room, hair still a little damp from the shower.

“What are you doing? I told you to make yourself comfortable,” you mutter as you enter, brushing your hair, yawning a little. Donghyuck looks up from the TikTok video he’s watching.

“I—I didn’t know if we’re staying on the same bed or, or, like…”

You giggle, walking towards him. “Oh, Donghyuck, you’re crazy if you think I’m letting you sleep on the floor.”

“So, like, we’re—we’re like sharing? The bed? Together, I mean.”

A look of surprise, more like confusion, flashes on your face. “Oh, is it not okay? If not, then we—I can, the living room, well, there’s a couch, and perhaps—?”

A second of silence.

Donghyuck starts laughing, and you do, too.

“We’re awful at this,” he comments, you agree and offer your hand. “How do you want this, my lady?”

“The bed has enough room for you and me,” you answer. “Come on, Donghyuck-ah. Let’s sleep.”

Donghyuck pulls you close, and you hold onto him like magnets connecting. Kissing the top of your head, he hums in content as you hug him tighter, your face nuzzled comfortably on his chest. You kiss his cloth-covered chest and make a comment about him buffing up especially on his chest area.

“Taeyong-hyung forces me to go to the gym. I’m glad you noticed,” Donghyuck jokes as you pull him towards the bed after switching the main light off, leaving the small light from your side table on. Donghyuck takes the right side and, as if you’ve been doing this for a long time, allows you to comfortably rest your head on his chest.

“Congratulations again,” you mumble sleepily. “You were so handsome on stage. I was about to fall on my knees.”

“Thank you, I made an effort to keep your attention on me. The entire venue was screaming for Jaemin. I need at least one person to keep their eyes on me,” he jokes.

“The world is your stage, Donghyuck,” you reply, voice softer. “You have everyone’s attention.”

“Some days, I only want yours.” This is it. This is when Donghyuck confesses and tells you about his undying love and how much he wants a future with you.

“You have mine every day,” you mutter, voice barely audible.

Hold on, God, are you really falling asleep before he could confess?

“I lo—Y/N, I’m having a moment. Please let me have this moment. Can you stay awake?”

“No,” you mumble. “Night.” Barely there.

“Wow,” Donghyuck sighs in disbelief. “You’re really sleeping when I’m about to give you my entire heart.”

Donghyuck hears you hum. Fuck it.

“I really,” he starts. “Really, really, really, really, really, really.”

He inhales, waiting. No response.

“I really, really, really love you.” There. No reaction.

“I have loved you for a long time,” he continues anyway. “I think the first time I realized it was when you were bringing food for us, and prior to that all members were talking about how much they’re craving for pizza. But when you arrived with the food delivery, you—” He chuckles at the memory. “You were holding a separate box for me. With fried chicken. For me. Because you know I don’t give a shit about pizza.”

He turns a little to kiss your hair.

“And it wasn’t even a eureka! moment,” he continues. “It wasn’t even a punch in the gut. It wasn’t loud, like my heart hammering against my chest, screaming for your name. It was—it was quiet. Like a tap on my wrist, telling me it’s always been there. You’ve always been in my heart. And you didn’t come in screaming, pulsating, crying. You walked in my heart, slowly and surely, like—like, the sun rising. It doesn’t abruptly rise from the horizon and blind everyone before they get the chance to wake up to start their day. The sun rises slowly, seeping through your curtains, gently waking you, kissing your skin like it’s the most precious thing ever. You’re like that for me. You’re the sun rising quietly into the horizon for me.”

“And I just—” Donghyuck sighs. “I wish I could say it better. I love you. I have loved you for a long time. I don’t think I’ll ever stop, so please let me say this. Let me tell you I love you.”

Donghyuck is left with silence for a few moments. And he wonders if he said it right. Honestly, he doesn’t even remember the words he said. He probably just spluttered nonsense. Main point is he loves you, and damn does he wish you were awake to hear all of it. He feels you breathe slowly, then—

“I love you, too,” you whisper, sniffling. He thinks you may be crying. “Have for a long time, too. I can’t remember when. I can’t even remember a time since we’ve met that I don’t look at you like you hung the stars for me.”

“Baby,” Donghyuck pouts when he realizes you’re already crying. He moves so that he’s lying on his side as he grabs your face with both hands, thumbs wiping away the tears. “I didn’t mean to make you cry.”

You giggle.

“Can I kiss you?” Donghyuck asks and you nod too quickly. He wipes the stains of tears from your cheeks and leans closer, closer, closer—

And there. Finally. The most-awaited first kiss.

He presses his lips only softly, a feather-like touch, waits for your reaction, but you keep your eyes closed, and then he’s leaning again, pressing his lips firmly this time.

He kisses you gently—carefully, like a curator carrying a piece of art that’s been around for ages, and you kiss him back like you mean it.

The kiss is over not long after, and Donghyuck brings you back close to his chest, hugging you and telling you to sleep.

You hum. Donghyuck closes his eyes.

The room is covered in silence. Donghyuck feels like he’s dreaming, and slowly, he lets himself fall asleep. The last thing he hears before drifting of is: “for the record, I’ve always known, Donghyuck. I’ve always known, because the things you can’t say, your eyes tell.”

Hello! I was wondering if you had any favorite cheap kpop mvs? Ones like gr8u where they used an intresting trick or idea to make the mv stand out despite the lack of budget.

HI HELLO AGAIN THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE QUESTION THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

okay okay okay. so there's a bit of a scale i'm gonna operate on here, because there's some pretty large gaps in between what i would consider 'cheap' for specific groups vs like, actual monetary cost and access to resources and stuff like that. i've separated these out into a couple of categories, because i could and to make some more distinctions. i'm judging a lot of this based on expense in terms of set, because that's generally where you're going to sink the most cost. if you want custom sets of any kind you have to have 1) the space to put the sets (a studio/warehouse), 2) the people to design the sets, 3) the materials to make the sets, and 4) the people to build the sets, which all is going to cost you. i'm also likely forgetting ones here but there's a lot of kpop mvs in the world and my memory sucks.

ok to start off, some flops (complimentary):

hair short - wings : unironically this is one of my fave songs+mvs from this era, it has such a creative premise and it's so smart and i'm sad we never got anything else from them.

annie - toppdogg : toppdogg mvs were never particularly expensive, but this one is really restricted, literally. also they get bonus points for being the only group to ever find a way to integrate the members' names into the mv without it being obnoxious.

baby i'm sorry - myname : one of the best story mvs of all time. i don't think this one was actually that cheap because there's a lot of actors but it likely had very little physical production costs because it's all shot on location and it's probably only shot with a handheld camera. there is actually choreography and styling for this and it's very inexplicably 2013.

she - vromance : i'm pretty sure they shot this mv with 12 dollars and a piece of lint and technically i think star is a more interesting mv with better thought and planning but idk. there's something about she that i think is very charming and i forgive the low budget-ness of it just for the fact that it's so wholesomely cute.

"it's just a guy hanging out":

2 kids - taemin : i know taemin would rather forget that 2 kids exists but genuinely it's one of my favourite mvs of his and hot take it's one of his best. it is the epitome of low budget stealth filming with maximum impact; he filmed this and the think of me mv in the off time he was in paris while he was on tour with superm, and the exhaustion and bitterness and sadness and remorse in this really shine. it perfectly captures that watery feeling of being awake for the dawn during a bender. taemin actually does so well with these smaller scale atmospheric mvs but they tend to be underappreciated; see day and night.

after we ride - brave girls : 99% of this is shot on location in mostly public + outdoor areas but the mv really rides on the performances of the girls and the skills of the editor and cinematographer, who really knocked it out of the park in terms of establishing the atmosphere. this has some really really phenomenal colour grading that gives everything that high sheen 'neon lights reflecting on a wet street' look that really amps up the feeling.

-> sub-genre: pandemic bottle mvs

mayday - crush : maybe the most iconic pandemic mv, which also purposefully looks inexpensive due to the camera equipment and editing techniques.

lazy - woosung : really clean colour palette and i love the integration of the feature, as well as the styling change at the last chorus. i can't remember if this made it onto my best of 2021 list in the end but it was in my runners up for a while.

down - a.c.e : one of the best things about a.c.e is their creative directors and designers, who are frankly incredible at their jobs, because they can stretch a shoestring budget and make it look so good. it was kinda tough to pick just one mv from their catalogue but i settled on down because it's all shot in a single location in one day and really utilizes the vertical format in a way that i've seen few mvs do. runner up is changer, which was shot somehow somewhere during the promos for higher, which holy shit they were so busy last summer.

unusually small budget for a big 3:

view - shinee : view changed the kpop mv game. this isn't case of low budget because no budget, this is a case of concept that doesn't play out to be very expensive to produce. by shooting everything on location (including the dance sequences) min hee jin took the money that would have gone to set building and used to pay more for location (it's shot in malaysia) and for better and more unusual editing than kpop had really seen at the time.

1of1 - shinee : again, this was all about style, and the main feature of this is absolutely the clothing. otherwise it's quite literally just filmed in a white box.

i want you - shinee : there were FOUR mvs shot for tsol and they all are absolutely fantastic. i wouldn't say any of them are cheap but i want you is shot primarly in a single studio space and on a greenscreen, so it's not the most expensive of the bunch. countless is also filmed on a single set, but i think i want you shows a much more effective use of style (even though i do love countless). i've talked about tsol before and as a full work it's one of the best kpop comebacks of all time.

blooming day - exo cbx : she's an icon. every minimalist colour pop kpop mv thinks it's blooming day and guess what? there's only one blooming day. in this case similarly to view, it isn't about a lack of budget and instead it's that the concept itself does not require a huge amount of expensive spectacle.

breath + last piece - got7 : i'm putting these together as a double feature because they were filmed back to back on the same sets and although they are not cheap by any means, since these are custom sets, but comparatively (to other jype mvs) both of these have very low production value and a high economy of shots. i remember watching these at release and actually going 'oh these are cheap....???'. however, despite being limited to these twoish locations these are very well filmed and there's a lot of very good editing here that makes them interesting.

call me baby - exo : maybe the least expensive exo mv but also one of the best. i know there's supercars but those are definitely rented and there's a grand total of three locations (and two of them are empty warehouse/studio spaces). i really like this mv because of that absolutely ripping intro with kai/baekhyun/xiumin/suho/sehun in the car, and it shows a really strong consistent creative direction that makes it look more expensive than it is.

not necessarily cheap but very good use of a gimmick:

goosebumps - onf : ENTIRELY greenscreened!!!!!!! we moved on TOO fast from this and we need to talk about it more!!! beautiful beautiful was predominently vfx but goosebumps took it to a new level. other than a few shots in a white box this mv is built entirely by a vfx team and that is neither that cheap or fast but it is a FEAT.

skinz - onlyoneof : i wrote a post about skinz here and i'm sticking to my guns about this being one of the most interesting mvs released this year so far.

gr8u - vixx : great gimmick, 10/10. honestly most vixx mvs are pretty low budget and i think this is in the middling bit but it still counts.

take over - do hanse : this is all shot in the same black box studio with a single projector screen. i'm not joking. the director of this mv is insanely smart and very good at getting bang for their buck, so i bet you that the most money went towards hiring the horse and neonmilk, probably.

rain to be - onewe : they sacrificed a whole bunch of equipment in order to film this and that's why it's not a particularly cheap mv, but it was quite literally shot all in a single session in a single location, which is more restricted than 90% of most kpop mvs. and yes i know onewe is a kband but i literally think about this mv like once a week.

fantasy - fei : another vfx heavy mv that is supremely effective. it's obviously got funding behind it but it's got quite a restricted scope that makes it feel as close quartered as it is.

face id - epik high : epik high are very good at high impact mvs with limited scales and their two from last year are both soooooo good. they were both on my best of 2021 list so i'm not gonna go into a lot of detail but face id in particular really works that gimmick good.

i'm tempted to put a couple of jackson's solo mvs here, because his mvs are very very good for being limited in funds (as he's paying for them himself) and he's really good at capturing specific styles and feels (lmly and pretty please with that 80s/90s hong kong cinema feel) but they're not technically kpop so i'll settle for just mentioning them here at the end.

#i meant what i said in that exo ask about how sm does NOT want to pay money for mvs #i was genuinely surprised by the last got7 mvs like those were SO cheap for jype i still marvel at it #kpop questions #fave posts #kpop mvs are SO expensive and a lot of them follow such an obvious formula #so this was actually a bit more challenging than i expected #there was originally a lot more in the 'its just a guy' category like most eric nam mvs and b.i's illa illa #but ultimately i cut them in favour of yes theyre fun but they're not really saying much beyond what i have in the category already #OH luna's free somebody mv is also pretty inexpensive and fun #answers #text #gunwoo standing centre stage and wailing those adlibs in his leather skirt >>>>> #me watching call me baby and yelling 'WHY ITS GREASED LIGHTNING!!!!' at the chorus

— the girl groups enhypen’s gfs are in !

genre: fluff (angst on jungwon’s part) + established relationship (eventually lol)

pairings: idol!enhypen x fem!idol!reader

note: idk how to title this pls i thought of it while showering

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

you just finished performing and your members were in need of water bottles

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

but fucking mnet didn’t provide any inside of your dressing room??

so yves told you to ask for some from the artist in the dressing room next to yours

you knocked on the door without looking at the sign that showed who was in there

you asked for some water bottles and heeseung went “i’ll go get it!” and ran off to go get get them

jungwon just chuckled and went “hyung’s a really huge fan of your group, he kept on singing star on the way here”

you nodded at the younger one, impressed at the fact that you were popular among idols

the tall boy came back with a whole box full of water bottles

“there’s 12 of you here right now so i figured why not get a whole box” he chuckled nervously

you giggled and smiled at the nervous boy

“thank you heeseung-ssi, i’ll take this to my members” you took the box in your hands but was taken aback on how heavy it was

“don’t worry i’ll carry it for you”

long after that you started hanging out and boom you became his gf

you couldn’t resist the charms of lee heeseung

once it was revealed that you were a couple, orbits and engenes went INSANE (in a good way ofc)

“wait so y/n DOESNT hate men????”

★ jay - aespa

OMG OMG LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS BBY

you both met at school after you both debuted

everyone was gossiping around about how you were in the same class with the enhas

so like... monster rookies class

usually idols aren’t seated together but the teacher seated you and jay next to each other

causing a bunch of “oooohhhs” from your classmates

there were times were you and the enhas would leave school early due to practice or schedules

and on the way to the school gate, jay would always spark up a conversation with you

you assumed he was just very friendly

long story short he had a massive crush on you

so a few months into your friendship (which the both of you were very open about with your fans), he confesses

you were like “WAIT SO IT WASNT ONE SIDED THE WHOLE TIME”

y’all were just really blind lol pls read between the lines

anyways on to ur lovely bf !!

he’s so bold and brave around you but so shy around your members and seniors

we all know how he really respects nct (along with other sm artists) bc he covered the 7th sense with sunghoon on iland

so one day you were like “oh btw i showed taeyong sunbae you and hoon’s t7s cover”

he was like 😟 to 😧 to 😯

got all shy and was like “oh what did he say..”

you don’t know why he was acting as if he didn’t body that whole performance ????

anyway you told him that taeyong said that he and hoon did really well and that he liked how jay did his part

hid his face on the crook of your neck

“baby we should come say hi to them next time you go to sm”

“NO i will make a fool out of myself”

speaks english and japanese with giselle a lot when he isn’t occupied with you

sometimes you’d even have to ask nct’s shotaro to translate

your seniors (especially exo’s kai) adore him so so much pls protect the boy at all costs

★ jake - everglow

he was an active viewer of produce 48 and (like me) was really attached to the yuehua trainees

especially you

so when you got eliminated just before the last episode, he was devastated to say the least

he awaited your debut and when the time came he supported everglow !!!!

LOVED BON BON CHOCOLAT SO MUCH

does the killing part choreo in his room when no one’s watching lol

dies everytime you do the little “everglow” in songs

right so when he debuted in enha, he looked forward to meeting you as an idol and not a fan

when you shared a dressing room at kcontact, he couldn’t help but introduce himself to you

he mentioned he was a big fan and your heart warmed

cute boy is a fan of you? omg heart go brr brr

your members tease you and you just shake it off

that day when you got back to the dorms, you watched a bunch of enhypen videos bc you were interested in jake

you weren’t aware of how popular you were among people - let alone idols so you were surprised

you fell in love with his personality and started saying hi to him whenever you meet backstage at music shows

not long after, you develop feelings for him

you thought it was just a puppy crush but as you saw him even more, it got serious

you never actually confessed but aisha accidentally spilled the beans when he was passing by

“cmon y/n just tell him you like him because he clearly feels the same !!”

“you like me?”

“AISHA”

“that’s my queue to leave”

so she leaves you two to pour your hearts out to each other

you two become a couple and forevergenes (such a cute name omg) LOVE you two

you’re both the puppies of your group so that makes your relationship 103892x cuter

you met his parents and they adore you and even asked for your autograph

“jake used to talk about how great you are after every produce 48 episode”

“okayyyy i think that’s enough embarassing me mom”

his parents love you like their own daughter but does layla love you?

you were so nervous to meet her and was actually scared she might not like you - knowing how important layla is to jake

at first layla ignored you and jake was like “she’ll come around”

you were convinced she just doesn’t like you, until this one time you were cuddling with jake on the couch and layla comes in

you expected her to snuggle up with jake but she came to you :D

now layla is super fond of you and mrs sim would even send you pictures and videos of layla getting excited whenever you were on tv 🥺

★ sunghoon - itzy

you and the girls were at isac

the six of you were just waving at your fans and making heart signs with your hearts

on your left you saw yeji making hearts with ryujin so you wanted to do that with another member too

you felt a presence next to you and assumed it was someone from your group

spoiler alert: it wasn’t

sunghoon and sunoo were waving at engenes who just happened to be seated next to midzys

so you turned to who you thought was an itzy member, making half a heart with your hand

until you realized it wasn’t 💀

you bowed and apologized when you both looked at each other, you were scared you crossed a boundary

you bowed and apologized to the engenes who were there too

sunghoon and sunoo reassured you it was all good

after that, sunghoon couldn’t help but keep his eyes on you the entire event

when the day was coming to an end, he pulled some strings and ended up having some alone time with you ...in stray kids’ dressing room

don’t ask

ofc skz already left so it was just you two there

fast forward, you both hit it off and he became your bf <3

midzys and engenes love you both sm and love bragging about you two to other fandoms

you two were even named the king and queen of 4th gen kpop

oh also

you already know where this is going

“SUNGHOON HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW NOT SHY’S PROPER TITLE IT’S YOUR GIRLFRIEND’S SONG” - jay

brags about how he can do the shoulder dance in wannabe

ofc it’s bc you personally taught him

sends you pics of jyp as reaction pics

so you send pics of bang pdnim to him

every once in a while he reminds you of that video of jay why pee trying to hit a high note

“lmao that’s your boss”

PLS you always get super embarrassed so ofc you bring up that vid of hitman bang

“rAp dAncE-“

★ sunoo - stayc

you were his seatmate at school predebut

you came from the same town, same school, same neighborhood, etc

the two of you were extremely close and both shared the same dream

when highup entertainment accepted you, the both of you were over the moon

he was so happy for you

but sad too bc that meant you had to move to seoul :(

you promised him to do your best and that you hoped to see him again but as an idol

and hopefully when he’s an idol too

well what you hoped for came true !!

although you couldn’t see him much as a trainee - which made you quite sad - you got to follow his journey on i-land

you even asked your fellow trainees to vote for him

anyways now that you both debuted, you became close again and became really open with your fans on how close you were

you recommended his songs to swiths and he did the same to engenes

he even memorized the choreo to so bad and asap and lemme tell you this

he BEGGED you to teach him those choreos

“sunoo you can watch the practice on youtube”

“but i want to learn it from you”

he never really realized his feelings until he saw you getting shipped with his other members

you were both on weekly idol and the hosts really seemed to like how you and jake looked next to each other and they just teased you both the whole episode

that made sunoo feel uneasy and he thought it was only bc he was an overprotective best friend

turns out he had feelings for you (wow shocker)

so one day he asks you to come to hybe

after slightly getting lost, you meet up with him in a practice room

he confesses bc he felt like not telling you about his feelings would put a wall between you two

you appreciate his honesty and tell him you’ve felt the same way every since you were classmates

he scolds himself for not seeing it all those years but you just laugh it off bc you were pretty good at hiding your crush

you both agree to secretly date, until you both announce it on your five month anniversary

fans were really shocked at first... but they support you !!!!

engenes will not hesitate to come at anyone who talks bad about you and swiths feels the same way about jungwon

he gushes about you every single time you’re brought up

and you can’t help but love your adorable boyfriend

★ jungwon - iz*one

okay so

he was just an average high schooler when you were introduced on produce 48

his deskmate was watching your audition video and it was the part where you were doing this freestyle

he was SO amazed and he secretly followed your journey on produce 48

always made sure to vote on time and watch the episodes live

once the debut evaluation came around, he asked everyone he knew to vote for you and even bought tickets to see the show live

almost cried when he saw that you were center

ACTUALLY CRIED when you got into the top 13 😭

fast forward to him debuting in enha

he wasn’t able to catch up on you since he was busy with trainee life, then i-land, then debut preparations

but somehow in the middle of promotions he ran into you and BOOM love at first sight

fast forward to you finally dating, he couldn’t believe he was dating the y/n of iz*one

wizones make those “ladies and gentlemen, y/n’s man” edits and engenes make those “ladies and gentlemen, jungwon’s woman” edits

both fandoms love you two so dearly that the only hate you two got were from the delusional ones (who clearly aren’t actual fans)

when your last concert came around, he couldn’t bare seeing you cry when you said “this has been iz*one’s y/n, thank you everyone!”

he got flashbacks from when you cried during the final episode of produce 48 and he’s just.. sobbing bc he couldn’t be there to hold you

so the next day he rushed to your dorms with snacks and emotional support bc you were emotionally exhausted from accepting the fact that your journey with iz*one is finally ending

you felt extremely lucky to be in his arms and he felt extremely lucky too that he’s able to make you feel a little better

★ riki - weeekly

you were both on weekly weeekly idol together

and both you and riki being main dancers, you were asked to do random dance together

a few popular songs played and the both of you did the choreos

until after school started playing and the boy did the chorus’ choreo and you were like “woah???”

bc he was so INTO ITTTT

the song was basically made for him to cover it

and the mcs saw your reaction so they asked him to do it once again but this time with the whole group

after filming, he came up to you and was like “i’m a huge fan of yours” and you’re just like ):&/£]>\**_£]

“woah really???? i rooted for you on i-land”

and his face just lights up bc his huge crush on you developed even more

you became besties since then but he didn’t ask you out until your birthday

he took you out to a puppy café, knowing you were obsessed with dogs

you’d ask him to show you pictures and videos of bisco

“i better meet bisco once we go to japan together”

melted at the thought of traveling to his hometown with you

anyways

once you left the café, he kissed you in front of your dorms

and somehow he became your boyfriend <3

riki as a bf isn’t really a very public person

he’s the “this is our relationship, not the public’s” type of person

he doesn’t wanna risk companies wanting to exploit your relationship

although he doesn’t talk about you two much, he loves to brag about you when given the chance

whenever variety show hosts would fawn over you he’d just look them in the eyes dead and go “she’s mine”

[bisexualhobi]

I'm curious, what's your talent ranking for exo?

hey i've been meaning to answer this and i don't want it to get buried under the shit ton of asks i'm getting so!!!!!

baekhyun - he's THEE genius idol for a reason. he can sing he can dance he can do variety he can model he can write - he's the whole package. as much as people hate it he's the most popular exo member for a reason. he has the skills to back it up sorry 😭

yixing - he is a fucking ace. like this man is not so popular in china for no fucking reason!!! he can sing dance produce act and he has great stage presence. i'd actually put him above baekhyun but i feel like he's distanced himself so much from the traditional kpop idol role that i don't know if his talents as an entertainer hold up in the same way

kai - he is a super talented dancer with amazing stage presence. his weak spots are vocals and variety (no matter how much sm wants to push the "new variety sprout expert" thing). but there's no doubt that he is gifted and can hold his own as a solo artist

chanyeol - he can sing rap play guitar bass piano drums write produce and act. only thing he can't do is dance. he's the most musical member in exo and he has a great ear for production. what's more impressive is all of this is self taught. his weak spot is stage presence and like being able to engage with an audience in a way that compels you to watch him if that makes sense? he HAS a very powerful aura but for entertainers i'm not sure how that translates in kpop idol terms. just let him have a rock band i'm begging you

xiumin. as an idol he is sooo good at his job it's kinda insane how underrated he is - exo performances are carried by him. problem with him is he is not very relatable and i think his role as a key part of the exo machinery won't necessarily translate in the same way standing alone as a solo artist

suho - he is a born to be leader. a great vocalist and can act very well! he's also great at variety. weak spot is his dancing and stage presence

sehun - he is just generally great at being an idol but he doesn't really stand out in any area (that's party SM's fault for not treating him like the main dancer he is). his weak spot is he has no musicality and he generally does better as a model than an entertainer.... but his charisma is magnetic so he makes up for it. plus his visuals. my god

jongdae - he is absolutely the most talented singer in kpop right now. his voice is a once in a generation type of thing. however i don't think he is meant to be a genius performer - he is missing in the dancing and stage presence departments. however his voice makes up for that plus he has some very good variety chops!

kyungsoo - this man does not give a fuck about catering to an audience. every time he is submitted to the mortifying ordeal of being an idol he probably curses the day he signed with SM. that being said he is an incredibly talented singer and an amazing actor.

[junicai]

Relationship with SuperM

➣ BAEKHYUN ☾ baekaria

before being thrown into a supergroup together, aria and baekhyun hadn’t really spoken 

they’d seen each other around the building, and aria was an avid supporter of exo so of course she knew who he was but she wasn’t expecting him to know who she was 

so when aria walked into the practice room and was greeted by baekhyun waving her over and calling her name

sue her if she was a little stunned 

their relationship was a little stilted at the beginning

between the age gap, and baekhyun not having a girl member in a group before, it took a few weeks for the two of them to figure out their dynamic and where they fit around each other 

eventually though

they settled into a pretty comfortable situation

baekhyun tries to put her at ease as much as possible 

there is 8 years in the difference, but you’d swear that its less than half 

although he’s playful and generous with the teasing like he is to other members 

he’s careful to avoid certain topics when it comes to aria, just out of respect for her and not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable

this came to fruition after kai unknowingly made a small comment on how aria “must have been hungry”, considering how fast she was eating

baekhyun knew he didn’t mean anything by it, but he watched aria slowly put down her chopsticks and reach for the bottle of water beside her instead

he didn’t see her eat for the rest of the evening

did kai get in trouble? no but he did get hit lightly over the head

when aria does something cool - like a spin or a trick - baekhyun is the first to say “that’s my child. i raised her, look how well i taught her” 

ten: “heY-”

tldr: although they’re not the closest, aria’s slowly grown more comfortable around him, and he’s looking out for her all the time 

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

200829 Knowing Brothers: when baekhyun brought up the members of superm all showering together to get closer quickly, heechul quickly pounced on aria - the girl slowly moving to put her head in her hands. 

“and where was aria during all of this? don’t tell me you brought her to?”

baekhyun: “well of course we did-” 

aria: “NO I STAYED OUTSIDE HE’S A LIAR DON’T LISTEN TO HIM!”

*cue baekhyun laughing his ass off*

➣ TAEMIN ☾ arimin

aria thought she was going to die

there was absolutely no plausible reason that she should be in a group with The Taemin

he was highkey the reason why she had even accepted her position in sm at the very beginning of her training

this man convinced a fifteen year old to give up the sport she’d been doing her entire life 

his impact  (*¯ ³¯*)♡

please stand by while aria tosses herself off a bridge

she was So Formal at the beginning

he honestly was the member she took the longest time to warm up to - because she had idolized him for so long

will still refer to him as taemin-ssi occasionally, but now its less a formality and more of a tease

this boy was shook when he found out how young aria was - mark and lucas he can deal with because at least they’re 1999, but aria....

“2000??? 2000?” 

he said :O

despite their rocky start, they’re quite comfortable around each other, especially after spending a few nights rooming together over the tour

does aria still look for his validation in a lot of her work? yes, but she’s more open about asking for it now then she would have been 

taemin definitely doesn’t have a favourite kid and it’s definitely not aria no why would you think that

aria really out here collecting parents like pokémon 

gotta catch em all~

he looks out for her a lot during their schedules, mainly because he knows what its like to be the youngest in a group and how it can feel a little like you don’t really have a place there

so he always makes sure to include her where possible 

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

sitting in a circle in a waiting room while mark toy-ed around with the guitar in his lap, aria sat curled in the corner, humming lightly to herself as taemin sang softly along with mark playing “view”.

quietly, she began to sing soft backing harmonies along with taemin, her eyes still attached to her phone in her hands.

when she felt the device being tugged out of her hands and her being pulled upright by another hand on her arm, she looked up to see taemin smiling brightly, still singing 

cue the impromptu concert of a lifetime: with god tier vocals

➣ KAI ☾ kairia

so, they met

and kai just kinda went: mine.

and that was that really 

its like a puppy refusing to give up its favourite chew toy 

“nooo but its my turn to room with aria :(”

never really did the whole awkward, getting to know each other phase? 

not that aria had any real say in it

but jongin point blank refused to engage in small talk with her

so they ended up spending their nights on the superm tour talking about stuff ranging from why the sky is blue to why aria stopped ice skating

she started crying and he did not handle it well, bless him

although he’s super chill and fun to be around

he’s also the only non-nct member that seriously scolds her 

when he found her in a practice room lying on the ground (she was Resting, thank you very much) at three in the morning, he dragged her out without a word and brought her back to her dorms in silence 

aria knew he was mad at her, but she thought it was because he had to borderline carry her four blocks down to the nct dorms 

“no you idiot, im angry because you thought that instead of coming to one of us for help with the bits you’re struggling with, you figured hey. let’s pass out instead.” 

he’s so affectionate with her

you know how lucas and kai have Intense Brothers Energy

well aria has that, little sister vibe that makes kai want to wrap her in a blanket and carry her everywhere

she’d hate that, if he tried that she’d scream (he did try that, this is coming from past experience)

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

kai chucking aria like a cannon ball into the pool during the filming of mtopia when she refused his hugs.

“oppa, oppa no im sorry ill give you all the hugs you want, oppa, JONGIN-OPPA NO NO NO NO -”

*sploosh*

➣ TAEYONG ☾ ariyong

taeyong took one look at aria the first time she showed up for group practice and immediately adopted her (not literally but he would if he could)

eomma meets highly protective brother meets life coach type beat?

so so soft for her its sickening 

says he doesn’t have favourites and will then spend an hour cooking for aria because she’s been in the studio the whole day and he knows she hasn’t eaten yet

when aria was given a duet to do for the sm stages, she had to pick another member to do it with and her first choice was taeyong 

she always has said that taeyong is one of the pillars keeping her upright and sane - without him she wasn’t sure if she would have been able to complete her training 

because of all the schedules they share together, if aria isn’t rooming with mark then she’s definitely rooming with taeyong

whenever she does his makeup (more often than you’d think) she point blank refuses to cover his scar, even when he asks her to do so

“please? i don’t like it.” “*gasp* how dare you.”

sleepy aria! snuggling into taeyong’s shoulder when a schedule ran late!

he gets uncomfy when the stylists put her in too revealing clothes, and has spoken to them on numerous occasions about dressing her in age-appropriate attire, no matter how “sexy” the concept might be

he keeps little bags of sugar-dusted strawberry sweets in his bag incase she forgets to eat and feels faint after the last time (they used to be blueberry flavoured but he heard donghyuck throwing out any and all “blueberry-contaminated” food one evening)

taeyong doesn’t tolerate hate towards aria, especially in person, so he always makes sure to sit down the line from her so that he can see when people skip her intentionally 

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

taeyong had just been awarded the single bedroom on the last night of the mtopia series, and was staring off into the corner looking rather uncomfortable. aria, who was meant to be rooming with baekhyun, looked over and saw his mouth curled downwards slightly. 

“baekhyun-oppa, is it ok if i room with taeyongie-oppa tonight? i ran out of my tablets, and he has some in his bag..”

baekhyun looked down at her with a small smile and agreed, while the edited captions on the video appeared with the words, “a cute maknae asking to room with a younger member..”

➣ TEN ☾ tenaria

Whipped™

so so gone for her its upsetting actually

yangyang and aria share the position of his baby

except aria willingly accepts the title while yangyang would rather fling himself from a rooftop

ten’s instagram is half his cats, half miyazu aria

he posts her dancing practice on his story a lot, with a variety of captions ranging from “thats my baby  ♡( ◡‿◡ )” to “yah that’s not right…(눈_눈)”

such an enabler for her bad ideas

aria wants to go shopping at 4am? ten agrees, now they’re sitting by han river eating ice cream

pls he’s gonna get her in so much trouble one day

when they walk together, ten likes to take her hand and put it in his pocket

its under the pretense of not wanting her to get lost

he just wants to hold her hand

yes he has lost her in a shopping mall, and NO it wasn’t his fault

ten always complains that they never have schedules together and he misses his baby

“we have superm-” “I NEVER SEE YOUUUU (ﾉಥ益ಥ)ﾉ”

if they’re in the same room ten is either watching her out of the corner of his eye, or is actually wrapped around her like a boa constrictor

hugs n kithes all around

only he is allowed make fun of her mistakes in dancing

anyone else gets deaded. he will fight for her honor how dare you insult his baby

sm give these ttwo a dancing duo video pls

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

the first and only time aria and ten had a duet was during their last concert on superm’s first world tour. during the second half of ten’s solo performance, aria emerged from the left side of the stage, coming to join him in the centre stage. no one had ever seen aria as serious as she was then, both herself and ten becoming completely different people in the moment. midway through, aria spun with her back to ten and leaped backwards into the air - eyes closed - completely trusting ten to be where she needed him to be to catch her.

➣ LUCAS ☾ arihei

besties

please they’re so cute together - tol child next to tini child she barely comes up to his chest :(

bear hugs

he just swamps her in his arms, and when he doesn’t feel like being bent over he picks her up

complains that she’s too heavy but then immediately after will throw her around like a softball

someone tell this man to be careful with her she’s not a barbie doll

singular braincell energy

don’t get it wrong, they’re both super smart

so it’s just - being smort together, but then nearly dying because neither of them remembered that you couldn’t eat raw cookie dough when there are eggs in it

she adores how he’s so confident in the things that he does - like convincing the entire nct fandom that he was fluent in english? king behaviour

so aria looks up to him (literally) but also because she wants to have that confidence some day

lucas says they’re not close and then aria pouts and he takes it all back

nczennies made a 14 minute compilation titled “lucas melting like a popsicle in australia for aria”

and literally what the title tells you, this man goes :(( when he sees her

lucas was actually the person to convince her to go ahead with the [redacted] proposal - and reminded her that it was too good an opportunity to pass up just because she felt like she was outgrowing the boys

he’s so proud of her

and she’s so proud of him

they’re so proud of each other and it makes nczennies want to cry because they never are seen together

sm stop separating the platonic soulmates first markhyuck and now arihei smh

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

during a photoshoot, aria was standing off to the side of the boys, dressed in white suit to contrast the boys’ black ones. the photographer was calling out to her to get her to move closer, but she couldn’t hear him from so far away, and so lucas (who was on the end) just walked over to her, gripped her by the biceps and lifted her vertically and to the left a little bit. 

“luc-LUCAS?”

“you had to move :)”

➣ MARK ☾ mari

½ of the best friend crew

honestly at the beginning, mark and aria weren’t very close, having only really seen each other in passing or with johnny

but after being dropped into training together the two quickly became fast friends, and now they’re borderline inseparable

you thought you knew pain? watch aria’s reaction to mark’s graduation from dream :)

mark’s the reason why aria felt confident enough to pitch some of her lyric ideas to the team, after staying up until 4am to help her make some edits so she was as confident as possible

kinda just, rests his head on her shoulder? and wraps his arms around her waist when he’s tired

mari being confused in foreigner: ???

aria said once in a vlive that she finds mark really comforting to be around - when she feels stressed or worried about something she’ll go to mark’s room and just sit on his bed for a while

aria is so close with his parents - “ahh, how’s my favourite child” “i’m doing great mom.” “no not you, how’s aria?” “wh-hu-MOM?”

you’d swear sometimes mark is younger than her, considering the pout he puts on and how much he whines when they’re not on the same team together for promotions

mark big protecc boi but also little small cuddly boi

they’re so soft for each other ( ╥ω╥ )

in one of the fancams for mark’s solo stage during superm, someone zoomed into aria singing along with him in the wings and dancing to herself with the Proudest Smile™

he’s! so! proud! of! her! constantly! she could be walking and he’d be like “omg get it”

when aria refuses to get up and make herself food (this happens way too often, she just gets into the groove of her work and doesn’t want to move) mark gets her to by threatening to do it himself

consistently caught by czennies just standing behind her and holding her hand in crowded areas - airports, waiting rooms, etc.

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

mark and aria were standing off to one side as the mc explained the rules of the game they were about to be playing. mark looked totally confused, and elbowed aria in her side before looking down and mouthing “what?” to her. aria opened her mouth, before closing it and looking down at the ground, muttering to herself, “결합… 結合….. le chéile…. le… le.. oh oh - combined! we have to put them together, markie.”

and thus, a new confusion meme was born

Sechan promoted his album alone, participated in few music programs. But you say Ji didn't promote his album much, I don't agree. He's done a lot of music shows and has appeared on variety shows and does that to this day. Of the active members, he is the most promoted. Sehun shows up little, Xiu is participating in some programs and Ks seems to have enlisted, because since he returned from the army he hasn't made any public appearances unlike other artists who were discharge

What I wanted to say about Jongin and the Exos as a whole, THEY'RE THE ONES WHO GO AND CONTACT AGENCIES TO PROMOTE THEMSELVES.

Not the company doing the Job.

Ji said he was the one who did everything in his album preparations, even he talked to composers and song writers himself and he was the one who contacted those variety shows to promote his album! He did it all HIMSELF. That's what i meant.

SM isn't doing anything for exo anymore, it's either they do it themselves or if they donr have enough contacts they stay in the basement. And you can tell the members whom are shy to go ask for Promotions from other programs and CEOs. And you can tell who doesn't have enough contacts among the members.

SM is now letting Exo do all the job for themselves coz they know they won't renew the contract. So SM is not wasting any money on them except for the album printing coz it's the most effective way sm is gonna get their share from the benefits of the album.

And even SM is not doing a good job at restock albums and refused to restock Jongin and Exos ALBUMS.

And the only one whom is SM is promoting wholeheartedly is Baekhyun! Coz SM wants to bribe him to resign he is the 🃏 of SM. Just like how they did with SNSD's Taeyeon. She was the most wanted and SM made it to keep her. Nkw they're doing the same with Baekhyun.

And About KYUNGSOO! Y'all peeps have to know this : KYUNGSOO LOVES BEING OFF SPOTLIGHTS. IT'S HIS CHOICE. HE LIKES IT LIKE THATn! So stop complaining! It's not SM's fault here. He is filming his drama/movie and making his album and enjoying his hiatus. He doesn't like the spotlights. You know him. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hope u got my point.

EXO's Kai Talks Independence, Motivation And His Incredible Career

There’s the saying that you’ve made it into the upper echelons of fame when you achieve single-name status. Monikers like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, and Billie Eilish ring a bell for they’ve relentlessly dominated not just the music charts, but pop culture, fashion and news in general. Then there’s also Kai. The 26-year-old main dancer of popular K-pop boy group EXO and a member of global K-pop boyband SuperM, beloved for his powerful moves, and experimental style — read: crop tops — that challenges the traditional markers of masculinity.

Today, it’s clear that the space Kai inhabits has only gotten bigger since his debut eight years ago, most recently wearing the hat of Gucci’s first-ever Korean male global ambassador — dismantling cultural boundaries and parlaying the mononym, Kai, beyond the K-Pop realm. In this cover interview, the superstar chats candidly about going global, being independent, and why he felt like he needed an Instagram account.

Some time ago you revealed the results of your personality test on Instagram live. With regard to the question “Have you wondered about your existence?”, you answered that you have.

I think I have always thought about the question, “Why was I born?”. Also, I often wonder about questions like, “Why am I not born as someone else but as me; is the world I see through my eyes different from another person’s point of view?”

You revealed that you have an INFJ personality type based on the MBTI — it seems quite accurate.

I don’t really remember my result, so I plan to take it again. My family has taken it too, and after seeing my mum’s result I thought it seemed like a very credible test [laughs]. My mum is a dreamer. Even before I debuted, she said, “You like to dress up, and because I brought you up in that way you are definitely going to have something to do with fashion brands in the future.” Naturally, when I became a Gucci ambassador, she was ecstatic.

Your Instagram feed’s theme is filled with “EXO”, “family” and “Gucci”.

I created my account in 2018 when I was having a shoot with ELLE for Gucci’s Cruise show. I’ve always known that social media was important, but I really felt that even more when a lot of celebrities asked for my account during the show.

You participated in the filming of a global eyewear campaign that was revealed not too long ago in the Amoeba Music store in Los Angeles. Was it a special experience for you as a musician?

Of course, it was supposed to be closed down and so the fact that I managed to take pictures and create memories of that historical place made me feel happy and blessed. The production crew were all non-Koreans, and the atmosphere at the location was different as well so it was all very nerve-racking. I felt like I had gone back in time to when I first debuted.

Even Kai gets nervous. Have you had any other similar experiences when a location you liked disappeared or closed down?

The old SM building I grew up in when I was a trainee and formed so many memories [at] just recently underwent some remodeling works. The rooftop and a few other spaces where I spent so much of my time have all disappeared. Those were places that meant so much to me, so with the new changes made, I was able to actually realise how much time has passed.

There are many people with a good [sense of] style. [Your] outstanding point is that when you try out different styles, it doesn’t seem foreign [to you].

I think that cool and pretty things can be captured easily but capturing a specific concept — in terms of fashion — can be a difficult feat. I use that mentality as an excuse to try out different styles of fashion that I would not have dared to in my daily life, such as the reggae hairstyle that I did in Growl, or the short crop jacket that I wore during my promotions for Obsession. I think two weeks is more than enough to prepare and try out new things [laughs].

You have made appearances in variety programmes such as Knowing Brothers and Radio Star last year. Were these experiences enjoyable?

Thanks to the humorous moments that came about, I actually received many offers from other shows. However, I was worried that the Kai that I portray on stage could be hindered by my different sides shown on TV, and that it might be difficult for anyone to focus on my performances due to the drastic differences.

I can’t not mention SuperM’s group promotions. Three different groups under SM came together to form this sub-unit, as part of a project!

When EXO went on our American tours, we experienced that culturally, races and traditions had been blurred. I could feel that there was less of a “line” separating us. I was able to approach fans more easily; I don’t think there’s a limit to K-Pop. I don’t need to deliberately mention the [global] success of Parasite. The fact that I became the global ambassador of Gucci eyewear proves that race does not matter at all, but it’s more about one’s talents and charisma.

Personally, I felt the progress of K-Pop after watching the safety briefing videos that SuperM and BoA shot together for Korean Airlines.

I am too shy to watch it, but I did receive a lot of video stills of myself from my friends and they didn’t look good at all. They keep sending me parts where I look bad [laughs].

Due to your performances and dancing, I think the pressure on the stage is incredible.

Usually I don’t have much worries, stress, or even anger, but it’s different right before going up on stage. I get so stressed to the point it can be tiring. Honestly, waking up at six in the morning with hardly any sleep just to pre-record our performances for music shows — it sounds impossible. I’m only able to show 20 per cent of my all and that is really sad. Last year was such a busy year, I hardly had any time to recharge myself nor did I feel I was ready to stand on stage, but the show still had to go on. I was not fully satisfied with the performances as a dancer, but it just has to be endured.

What are the reasons that you are able to carry on despite all the difficulties?

The contentment after I get things done, and the comfort that I was able to pull through. On the other hand, I think the sincerity I feel towards everything I do and the constant ambition to do things better is a huge motivation and a relief when I accomplish it. If I don’t feel this way, it will mean that this work no longer means as much as it did to me in the past. Showing my fans the best version of myself, and the comfort and happiness I feel when I’m contented with my performance or work, is really important to me. In the past I couldn’t even sleep after making one mistake, but I sleep really well now [laughs].

And dancing is still something you enjoy?

I’ve been dancing for almost 20 years now. I can’t not dance. Even when I was young, I’d dance everywhere and anywhere, to the extent my mum said, “Stop dancing, it’s embarrassing.”

It’s well known that you have some really special and tight relationships with a few people around you. Do you get any inspiration from their advice, or from their influence?

I’m not the type to ask for advice from anyone first. Even when I ask what’s the better of two choices, I already have an answer [that I’ve] decided on in my mind. I’ve always felt that I needed to be independent; to [think for myself] when I decide, in order to be able to say that it is “mine”.

So, you’re a man of few words around people.

If they want me to be. If necessary, I will say good things, but more [so] the realistic point of view. I always think of the worst possible situation before saying anything [when giving advice], so those who know me well will not ask me trivial questions. When things go south or important decisions to be made, they will look for me. As for myself, I humbly listen to criticism or harsh words.

“Sexy” and “beautiful” are words that you probably hear a lot, but your fans call you “cute”. Which sides of yourself do you think are cute?

None! Even if I have thought of myself as cute, I won’t say it or admit it [laughs].

There are many people who idolise you as they see you as an iconic person. Does [the phrase] “a symbolic beauty of youth” or any other nicknames that you carry, feel a little too exaggerated?

Everyone views me differently, so I can’t say that it’s burdensome or exaggerated. Instead, I’m thankful. I don’t want to think of these nicknames or titles consciously as I live my life. Like, “Oh since they call me this, I should try to behave a little more as such”. I only want to show my true self without having other considerations — always.

What do you consider to be beautiful?

Definitely cool clothes, sculptures, drawings and paintings. When I look at some really good-looking people, I feel that that is beauty too. But personally, I think that true beauty lies in moments. Past memories and ordinary moments that when you look back, [you] realise that what you felt back then was more beautiful and precious than any other happiness that you’ve experienced.

A line from the drama The Miracle We Met pops into my mind — “Memory isnot [just] a record of time, but [is always]accompanied by emotions. That’s something surprising we never expect.”

Good memories always bring back rushing emotions, regardless of when you look back at it. That is really beautiful, and that is why I really love watching movies with film static noise, as it seems like I’m looking into someone’s memories.

Your name Jong (鍾) comes from“iron drum bell” and In (仁) comes from “benevolent”. Your grandfather named you that, which means to be as benevolent as the person who rings the morning bell. Throughout your life, have you ever thought about the meaning behind your name?

Hmmm, firstly, I’m not a morning person [laughs], but hitting the bell at dawn means to be of use to someone and to [have] more initiative, so I do want to live up to that and inspire others. Perhaps I could already be doing just that, I’m not sure.

I’m sure you’ve garnered plenty of praise for your dance techniques, but the shoot today focused quite a bit on your looks too. Which feature of yours do you like?

I do like to think that I have my own attractive features, like my small ears or a round bear like nose which most would say is so-so — but I still like them. If I really had to choose, it would be my chin and eyebrows for now. I think these two features make up 80 per cent of my defining look.

What does family mean to you?

Family is family. There may be no one in the world who will be completely on my side, but my family will still accept me as I am. I grew up happily with two siblings, and so if I were to have a family of my own, I always thought three kids would be just nice. But now when I look at my sister struggling with childcare, I realised it’s definitely not something to think lightly of. My family members are also my seniors (sunbae) in life.

Your eight-year anniversary is coming up soon, and you’ve probably been through many hardships. Do you think it is necessary for a person to go through pain to mature?

Looking back now, not all hardships have changed my nature; I personally don’t see the need for a person to go through change and pain in order to mature. But you know there is going to be a tough time for everyone at least once in their lifetime, and it’s not so bad a thing to be positive and think of precious things to get through it. Most importantly, just because you’re going through something difficult doesn’t mean you should hate yourself or be hard on yourself, because the most precious thing in the world is yourself.

Some may look at you and think that you’ve got it all. In spite of this, is there still anything that you wish to have, and is there a further goal you have in mind?

Before my debut, I had a lot of ambitions but the Kai I am today doesn’t have anything else I could wish for. I don’t think the place I am today is my final station but even if it is, I would be okay with that. Even if my debut was the end, I am proud of the life I’ve led, and I would be super proud of whatever I do. I am able to say this confidently because I learnt that the more fixated I am on something, the less happy I am. I learnt that it is better to focus on and enjoy the present; to enjoy doing what you do.

What type of person do you hope to be to your loved ones?

There is only one thing I wish for and that is for them to always be by my side no matter what decisions I make. Likewise, I will do the same.

Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Request: If there's still space, can I request #1 with jongdae please? Thanks!!

Prompt:

1)  ”Here’s a concept…me and you…married.”

Pairing: EXO’s Jongdae x Reader

Genre: Fluff       

.

Looking to your reflection in the mirror, you let out a quiet groan. The dancing, holiday cats on your sweater were some of the most awful things you had ever seen (and that was ignoring the fact that they also lit up if you flipped a covert switch hidden within the knit.) You turned to the side, furrowing your brows as you further examined your outfit.

Whoever came up with the idea of Ugly Holiday Sweater parties should be sat in a pile of ants on a hot summer day with honey dripping from their earlobes.

But that was just your personal opinion.

“Ugh, how can someone who styles celebrities professionally...show up in an outfit like this?” you clucked, spinning one last time.

SM entertainment was known publicly for their Halloween party, but what few knew was that they also hosted a party in December every year as well. Disregarding holiday preferences, most all employees attended if for nothing more than free food. You had been dragged along every year since you had landed the position as a stylist, and didn’t intend on missing it now. Not even when they changed the theme to an “ugly sweater” party.

“Are you ready?” your friend and fellow stylist asked as she waltzed into the room. Your eyes grew in size as you took her in, her tight sweater leaving little to the imagination.

“You are aware that this is an UGLY sweater event, right?” you croaked, looking down to the sack-like jumper you were wearing.

“Ugly,” she clucked. “Does not mean ill-fitting.”

Rolling your eyes, you grabbed your bag before you had the chance to talk yourself out of going. “Yes, I’m ready.”

“Where’s the antler headband I bought you?” she hummed, her hands on her hips. Her heels didn’t budge as she began to survey your apartment. “They complete the look.”

“Isn’t the sweater enough?” you sighed, already exhausted.

“Fine, grumpy,” she said, sticking her tongue out at you. “Try to save the fun for the rest of us.”

.

You moodily gnawed on your candy cane as you surveyed the party bustling around you. Food was being served, drinks were being poured, but you still felt pouty,

“Isn’t this fun?” your coworker gasped, scraping the icing from her holiday cookie.

“I can hardly contain my excitement,” you grumbled. You would rather blend in with the wallpaper than stand out with your brightly flashing cat sweater.

“Did you see Baekhyun over there? Oh, and Key? They’re looking so scrumptious,” she hummed, nearly vibrating with excitement. “Good tidings aren’t the only things I would be giving them-”

“Aye!” you gasped, your eyes wide. “Calm down. You see idols every day!”

“I style for NCT Dream,” she muttered, crossing her arms. “I can’t fantasize about babies.”

“As you shouldn’t!” you said sternly, shaking your head. “You’re impossible.”

“Impossibly attracted to these whole ass men wandering around,” she growled, narrowing her eyes at a guy you recognized to be in Marketing. “Who is that?”

“He’s in a different department,” you murmured, sending a silent wish of luck his way. For as much as you enjoyed being around your friend, she was a bit...difficult sometimes.

“Interesting,” she said, lifting her brows. “I may have to introduce myself.”

“Don’t make me stand awkwardly alone!” you gasped, already dreading the idea of having to make small talk.

“Live a little,” she grinned, looking down to her cookie before taking a bite. “Make friends.”

“With who?” you groaned.

“Why not an idol?” she asked, tilting her head. “What about Chen?”

“Chen?” you asked, lifting your brows. The name sounded familiar, but you couldn’t entirely place it.

“Yeah, the guy who’s been hogging the karaoke mic. He also happens to have on the same horrifying sweater as you,” she sighed, more interested in her cookie than she was in the conversation at this point.

“You said it was cute!” you gasped.

“It is,” she chuckled. “In a grandma-type way.” 

“Why him?” you sighed.

“Because he’s hot,” she said thoughtfully. “And he’s a celebrity. And the matching sweaters are a good talking point.”

“Since when did you become such a social butterfly?” you murmured.

“Doesn’t take a butterfly to know how to interact with people,” she grinned. “Don’t worry, I’ll bring him over your way. Maybe he can introduce me to-”

You missed the name of whatever miscellaneous celebrity she mentioned because she was already shuffling out of sight.

Grimacing you took a few steps to follow her, but stopped yourself. Sure, you knew you should probably be networking and talking with your coworkers, but you weren’t exactly the most confident.

Working with the dreamies had preconditioned you to deal with idols who were more like little brothers. You never worried about how you looked in front of them, or how silly you sounded. They always laughed at your jokes and treated you kindly. The older groups were what intimidated you. The men closer to your age, who were in general the more adultier-adults at the label, scared you to no end.

Of course you knew they were probably just as kind as their younger label mates, but you never allowed yourself to figure that out. You were happy being unseen.

Obscurity was where you had decided you belonged. Things were calmer that way.

Safer.

Stirred from your thoughts, you looked up just in time to see a new face in your field of vision.

“Well, call me Rudolph because i have been sleigh-ed,” he grinned. “I don’t believe we’ve met before. I’m Chen.”

“I’m Y/N,” you nodded with a polite bow. “Nice sweater.”

Chen looked down with a wide grin and shimmied his torso a bit. Your friend wasn’t incorrect. It was exactly the same one that you were wearing.

“I didn’t think anyone else would possibly pick this one out,” he laughed. “You must have wonderful taste.”

You lifted your brows and attempted to stifle your laugh. “Is that it?”

“Duh,” he grinned, careful to make sure you were smiling as well. “When people were asking me about coming here with my partner earlier, I was totally confused...but now I get it! We are wearing couples items after all...

...So, you may or may not have noticed that I was doing a bit of karaoke earlier before your friend insisted I come over. Won’t you sing a duet with me? Pretty please?”

“That’s a nice offer,” you sighed, glancing to your feet. “But there’s a reason why I’m a stylist.”

“Is it because you’re so pretty?” he gasped, his eyes wide with innocence.

You felt the heat of embarrassment begin to creep up your neck. He...thought...YOU...were pretty?

“Because i can’t sing,” you corrected, refusing to look up at him.

“Everyone can sing,” he hummed. You didn’t have to make eye contact to know he was still watching you. “It’s just an opinion if people like it or not.”

You shook your head quickly before allowing yourself to lock eyes with him and let out a nervous chuckle.

“Come on, wouldn’t it be cute if two people, wearing matching sweaters, sang a song together?” He begged, reaching forward and grabbing your hand.

Your face was an unmanageable amount of hot as you willed yourself not to look at the place where your skin was now touching his. He apparently had no issue with being forward.

“What about a dance?” he coaxed. “We can rock around the Christmas tree all night long if you’d like.”

“Dance,” you choked out, more of an acknowledgement of the word. How were you going to keep up with an idol’s dancing skills?

Lucky for you, Chen’s skill seemed to nearly evaporate. If it wasn’t part of a choreographed production, he wasn’t going to be the most talented dancer you had ever seen.

“What are you doing?” you said quietly, trying to hide your amusement. After he had taken your stupid utterance of “dance” as an agreement to actually follow him onto the floor, he proceeded to break into his “best” moves.

Which were thoroughly entertaining, but not for the reason you would have guessed.

“I’m free-styling.”

“You look like your pelvis is caught up in a spasm,” you laughed, shaking your head. Glancing over your shoulder, you saw his fellow idols beginning to laugh at his antics as well.

He really was sweet, but the attention was beginning to make you sweat.

“You say tomato, i say tomahto,” he grinned, eyes closed as he was lost in the beat.

Looking from one side of the crowd to the other, you took a deep breath. Catching eye contact with several people you would prefer to be invisible around, you found yourself beginning to step to the side. “I’m going to get some punch.”

“I’ll come with you,” Chen perked up, opening his eyes.

“That’s really not necessary,” you croaked, keeping your face to the ground.

“I’m thirsty too!” he gasped, instantly taking your hand. Chen smiled brightly at you before offering an obnoxious wink. “We’re pretty similar, don’t you think? I mean...we showed up in couples outfits without even having met before! I don’t want to sound too crazy here, but how about this concept...me and you...married. It’s obvious that we were meant to be.” 

You attempted to keep from choking on your saliva. The two of you couldn’t be more different.

“No offense, I’m sure you’re incredibly sweet, but if i take off this matching sweater, will you leave me alone?” you whispered.

“Probably not,” he grinned. 

“Well...at least your honest.”

“Honesty is the best policy...and honestly, i would love it if you’d agree to a date with me,” he nodded, not even skipping a beat as the two of you arrived at the snack table. “I’d love to get to know you more.”

You blinked in surprise. “Backtracking after you already suggested we get married?”

“I mean, we could work backwards if you wanted,” he smirked. “Marriage, then dating, and then...well, what would come after that?”

You still had to wrap your brain around it. You had quickly established that Chen was very similar to a puppy. Not long after meeting you, he had decided he had liked you.

He had chosen you, in essence, and you wouldn’t be getting rid of him easily.

“So?” he prodded. “Don’t leave me waiting in suspense!”

“Uh, sure,” you managed with a wince. You didn’t want to sound unenthusiastic, but the night has changed rapidly. Especially since Chen had introduced himself.

“if you wake up in a box tomorrow,” he cooed. “Just know it’s because I’ve asked Santa for you this year.”

“That is actually horrifying and mildly adorable at the same time,” you laughed, shaking your head. You had nearly forgotten that he had been holding your hand all of this time.

“Sounds like me!”

“Comforting. Something to look forward to i guess,” you shook your head and attempted not to giggle. For as silly as he was, he really was starting to  grow on you.

Glancing up from your interlocked fingers, your breath caught in your throat as you noticed the holiday lights reflected in Chen’s dark eyes. He really was quite  handsome.

He watched you closely, silent for the first time since you had met him.

“What?” you croaked

“Nothing,” he smirked, continuing to stare at you without shame.

“Then what are you looking at?” you whispered, furrowing your brows.

“An angel, i think,” he hummed, his smile growing wider. “You just aren’t on top of a tree.”

You felt your heart flutter and heat begin to climb up your neck again.

Maybe being different from Chen wasn’t a bad thing.

Movie Night

➵ EXO: Chanyeol x fem. reader / one shot / fluff

➵ warnings: none

➵ word count: 2k

You turned up the volume of the music before finally getting into the hot shower. You sighed, feeling your stiff muscles relaxing. The day (or rather the whole week) had been tiring — university was stressful at the moment, a lot of papers had to be turned in as well as research projects to be finished. And then there was your part-time job: being an English teacher at SM entertainment. You enjoyed it, of course you did, but to prepare the lessons always took a lot of time, something you had way too little of at the moment. But at least you made good money, which was the reason you had been able to pay for your small studio apartment on your own. To be living alone was a lot more relaxed than living in a dorm together with many other people, so you didn’t even think about giving up this luxury, even if it meant pulling a few all-nighters to finish all of your projects and lessons. 

You tried emptying your mind while shampooing your hair and sang along to the music, getting some of the lyrics wrong and smiling to yourself, laughing slightly. 15 minutes later, you were freshly shaved, showered, conditioned and felt way more relaxed than before. „Now some ramen and Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the evening’s perfect.“, you said to yourself, sighing while drying your frizzy hair with a towel. After putting on your underwear and the fluffy white robe you loved so much, you left the steaming bathroom. When you entered the shared kitchen and living area though, you issued an ear-splitting scream. 

„Are you sure she won’t mind?“, Chanyeol asked for the millionth time. Baekhyun huffed and threw him another dirty look. „Of course not! Y/N loves me and I’m sure she’ll be happy to finally meet you. I’m always telling funny stories of you!“ 

„Oh God. That does not sound good.“ 

The tall man looked really worried and his friend just rolled his eyes. 

„Don’t worry — she can be as clumsy as you, so she actually relates to a lot of the things happening to you.“ 

„Well, are you sure we should meet, then? I mean… it could get really dangerous with me and her being in the same room.“ 

Baekhyun snorted, punching the code to your front door into the lock pad.

„Why do you have her code?!“ Chanyeol sounded more than surprised. 

„Y/N gave it to me, for the not so unlikely situation that I should need a place to crash. You know, should I be bugged out by you guys or be stalked by some so-called fans.“ His statement sounded proud, as if he was a bit amazed by having earned your complete trust. 

„But she does know that we’re coming, right?“ 

„Yes, I texted her earlier.“ 

„Did she answer?“ 

„… well, no. But I’m sure she’s seen my message.“ 

But Baekhyun didn’t sound so confident anymore, making Chanyeol worry even more. „She doesn’t have any weapons in her apartment, right? I don’t want to be killed because she thinks we’re burglars or something!“ 

The smaller man huffed. „Don’t be ridiculous.“ With that, he finally pushed the door open, entering the apartment and pulling Chanyeol with him. The first thing both heard was muffled music coming from the bathroom as well as the sound of the shower rushing. „Ah, she is home. Perfect! Let’s wait for her in the living room.“, Baekhyun proposed good-humoredly, slipping out of his jacket and boots and leaving Chanyeol to close the front door. „Yah! Don’t leave me alone! What if she comes out now and sees me?! She doesn’t even know me!“, the tall man hissed in a panicked voice, following his friend quickly. Your studio apartment was small but very stylish — everything was either white, black or grey. A comfy sofa took up most of the space, standing besides a tall and overly filled bookcase that separated the living area from your bedroom. Loads of different plants filled the windowsills as well as some corners of the room. 

„Huh. It’s really nice.“ 

„Why do you sound surprised? Y/N has good taste! That’s why she choose me to become one of her closest friend.“ Baekhyun grinned cheekily, making Chanyeol roll his eyes. At that moment, the bathroom door opened, releasing steam and music as well as a young, flushed woman. The first thing Chanyeol noticed was you being nearly half naked, only clad in a fluffy, not completely tied dressing gown that didn’t even reach completely over your knees. The second thing was your loud scream — apparently, you had not read Baekhyun’s message. 

„WHAT THE HELL?!“ One hand over your heart, you stumbled back, „Baek?! Are you kidding me?! What are you doing here — without notifying me beforehand, might I add?!“ 

Said man looked pretty sheepishly by now, while you hurried to wrap your dressing gown tighter around herself. „Uhh... Hi? I’m Y/N.“, you said, gazing towards Chanyeol, while your face flushed even more. 

„Chanyeol. It’s nice to meet you…?“ He sounded embarrassed as well, but shot you a soft smile nevertheless. Your eyes light up at his name. „Oh, it’s so great to finally meet you! Baek told me a lot about you.“ At this, your face darkened. „But it would have been nice to have been informed of this meeting beforehand. I would have worn something more formal.“ You cracked a grin at that, striding through your living room. „I’m just going to change real quick and then we can... reintroduce ourselves.“

That’s how you and Chanyeol met for the first time — and a lot of times followed. Often, you, Baekhyun and Chanyeol hang out together: going bowling or to the cinema, trying to cook or sometimes just taking a midnight stroll along Han River. Sometimes, you hang out with only one of them, as their busy schedules didn’t allow it any other way; but in general, you mostly tried to find time together. 

It was a Saturday in late November, when your relaxed evening was interrupted by loud knocking on your front door. You groaned, placing your wine glass on the coffee table and getting up from the comfy sofa and throws. „Who is it?“, you asked before reaching the door. „It’s me.“, a deep voice answered and you immediately began to smile, opening the door. „Yeollie!“ You pulled the tall man inside, closing the door behind him and hugging him tightly. „It’s been way too long!“, you complained muffled, pressing your face into the man’s broad chest. He chuckled. „Sorry, but we have our comeback soon and need to practice.“ 

„I know, I know. Why didn’t Baek come, too?“ 

„He’s still busy recording — but he said I should give you a long hug from him.“ 

„Then give it to me.“ 

Chanyeol laughed again, pressing you even closer to himself. „There you go.“ 

„Thanks.“ You looked at him again and gasped, finally taking in his new hair color. „You’re blond!“ 

„I am indeed.“ 

„Can I call you White Chick now?“ 

„Yah! I’m still your elder, so mind your manners.“ 

You laughed and hit him playfully. „Well, come in. Do you want some wine? Or beer?“ 

„Beer, please. You know what I think of wine.“ 

„That it’s disgusting — which it’s not, by the way. You simply haven’t tried the right one yet!“ 

„And I probably never will.“ 

He grinned at you, falling down onto the sofa and stretching out his long legs. You huffed. 

„Not even for me?“ 

„Nope.“ 

„Not even if I try my puppy eyes?“ 

„Which puppy eyes?“ 

You laughed again and took a seat beside him. „I’m talking about these!“ With that, you got nose to nose with him, widening your eyes. Chanyeol’s widened as well, shocked at the sudden close proximity to you. „I… I see them, yes. Still, no wine for me.“ He quickly leaned back, trying to ignore his fast beating heart. You sighed. „Well, I tried my best. Beer it is, then.“ You finally gave him the bottle, toasting him with your wine glass. „So, how’s the comeback coming along?“, you asked, tilting your head and sweeping his whole body with a calculating look, „You look tired.“ He shrugged. „Nah, it’s okay, I’m used to it by now.“ 

„That doesn’t make it right!“ 

He gave you a cheeky smile. „Ohh, are you worried about me?“ 

„Of course I am! I care about you.“ 

He raised an eyebrow. 

„Well, about you and Baek, I mean. We’re friends, after all.“ 

You felt your cheeks warming under Chanyeol’s amused gaze. Why did he have to be that good-looking? And now with those blonde curls… Dear lord, you just wanted to touch them and see if they were as soft as they looked. 

„So, your comeback…?“ 

„Ah, yes. It’s coming along fine. We’re still trying to remember all of the choreography — okay, I am at least — but we’ll film the music video real soon. After that, it’s going to be really stressful for us, with all the stages and shows and what not.“ 

„If I can help you guys with anything, just tell me.“, you offered, smiling softly and taking another sip of your wine. Chanyeol smiled back. „Thank you, but you’ve got your own stuff to do — don’t you have exams real soon?“ 

You sighed deeply, rolling your eyes. „Don’t remind me!“ 

He laughed. „I could always help you with testing you.“ 

„Thanks, but no thanks. I already have enough sunbaes at university who want to torture me under the pretense of trying to help me with my studies.“ 

„Well, they surely don’t have my methods.“ 

Now it was your turn to raise your eyebrows. „Which are…?“ 

The blond man grinned. „I have an amazing reward system.“ 

„I’m intrigued.“ 

„Good, but you’ll only know what the rewards are going to be if I am allowed to test you.“ 

You sighed. „Okay, okay — but not today… I’m just way too exhausted.“ 

„Thank God, me too. Want to watch a movie?“ 

„Always.“

Half an hour later, both of you had drunk some more wine (or in Chanyeol’s case, beer) and were snuggled under some soft covers, watching a pretty boring movie. 

„We should have just watched School of Rock again.“, Chanyeol complained, finishing his third bottle of beer. 

„But we always watch that together!“ 

„Well, it is an amazing movie.“ 

„True.“ 

„So…?“ 

„Let’s put it on.“ 

Chanyeol whooped, making you laugh and shake your head. “Don’t laugh at me, I just love that movie so much.“, he defended himself playfully.

„Oh, I know — and me too. It always manages to make me feel good, no matter what.“ 

„Yes! But I do hope you don’t need it now to feel good?“, the tall man asked teasingly and you shook your head again. 

„I always feel good when I’m with you, Yeol.“ 

Immediately, a huge smile appeared on his face and he hid his face shyly behind his large hands. You laughed. „Aww, you’re so cute!“ You poked one of his dimples teasingly, winking at him and bending forward to grab your wine glass, which was standing on the small coffee table. Chanyeol saw his chance and wrapped both arms around you from behind, pulling you against his chest and hugging you close. You yelped and giggled, wiggling around until you could turn around to face him. „What are you doing?“, you asked playfully, your eyes shining brightly. Chanyeol took in a deep breath before gathering all his wits, beginning to lean towards you — giving you the chance to stop him. Which you did not, instead you ignored your galloping heart and leaned towards him as well, your eyes fluttering shut.

Soft, warm, careful and toe-curling— that was your first kiss. 

The first of many more to come.

Surprising Him [Baekhyun and Chanyeol]

Enjoy~

Baekhyun

Jordyn couldn’t sleep when she decided to text her friend, Baekhyun. She needed so kind of company even if it wasn’t face to face. She sent her quick text to check if Baekhyun was awake only for, milliseconds later, her phone to ring. She adjusted herself in bed, lay on her stomach with a pillow outstretched under her chest to her head, and she accepted the call.

Baekhyun sleepily grinned at her as he curled up in his own bed. “Couldn’t sleep?” He rubbed his tired eyes and Jordyn frowned.

“I’m sorry” his eyebrow rose, “I woke you up.”

His husky voice echoed as he let out a low chuckle, “How can I sleep knowing my sleeping beauty was suffering?” He had his phone on silent through the night, but he excluded her from that. He made sure his phone rang no matter what time of day it was for him. He’d never tell her that of course. He watched as she twirled her ringlet that slipped from her night cap. “Rough day?”

Jordyn hummed a sad reply. Her eyes watered. She pressed her face to the pillow as she tried to hold in her tears. Baekhyun sat up more alert than before, “Hey, baby girl talk to me.”

She rubbed her nose as she looked up at Baekhyun, “Am I ugly?” She shook her head, “Never mind, I’m asking my best friend. Of course you’d say yes.”

“Why are you asking me that?” There was an angry undertone in his voice. He didn’t get upset about a lot of things, but hearing Jordyn talk poor of herself was one thing he hated.

She shook her head, “Office talk…” She let out a pitiful laugh, “The guys discussed our best looking girls and rated them… I came in last… It’s so stupid that I’m worried about their ratings, but they said I would be better if I wasn’t so dark.”

Baekhyun’s jaw clenched as he bit back any remarks towards herself loathing. “Who cares what those idiots think? They are obviously blind to your beauty.” He sucked in a breath, “It works out better for me because they’re too stupid to realize how perfect you are.”

“Why does that work out for you?”

Baekhyun’s eyes slightly widened as he realized what he said, “I-I mea-meant, as a fr-friend, yea.” He cleared his throat as his eyes ventured off camera.

“You’re lying!” Jordyn gasped as she pulled her pillow to her. “Your eyes are shifting. Why are you lying to me?” There was a tinge of hurt in her voice, “I didn’t know we still had secrets between us…”

Baekhyun let out a frustrated chuckle as he raked his fingers through his hair, “Really? Should I just be honest and kiss you to show you how much I love you? Or tell you how much I want to be with you as your boyfriend and not some best friend.” Jordyn fell silent and Baekhyun shook his head with disappointment, “Yea, that’s what I thought. And you wonder why I keep secrets… I gotta go. Sorry, I can’t stay up with you longer.” He ended the call before Jordyn had the opportunity to respond.

The next morning, the moment Jordyn woke up, she reached for her phone only to see no notifications from Baehkyun. No ‘good morning angel’ or any messages about the night before. She dropped her hand and phone on the bed as she grabbed her pillow and screamed into it. Jordyn was pissed. How could her best friend just confess and then just hang up before she had the time to confess back? She kicked off her comforter and jumped out of bed. She was going to give him a piece of her mind.

Jordyn stormed through SM’s doors and went straight to the dance studio she knew he would be at with his group members. She could hear the music outside the door, but could care less as she shoved the door in and sought for him. When she caught sight of him mid-dance, she walked through. The boys noticed her, stopped, and moved out of her war path as she came face to face with her best friend. Baekhyun looked like a deer in headlights as he saw the fire in her eyes.

“Jordyn” Baekhyun stuttered. “I know you’re pissed, bu–”

Jordyn pulled him by his shirt, pressed her lips to his, and earned cries and gasps of shock from the boys behind her. Except one, who sounded just like Jongdae say FINAL-FUCKING-LY.

Baekhyun’s eyes widened as he felt her lips on his. Never had he ever imagine her lips to feel so perfect against his. He kissed her back and he let out a stifled groan. This was something he only dreamed about.

Jordyn broke the kiss and glared at him, “Surprised?” He nodded with a large grin on his face. “Good! That’s what you get for just confessing then hanging up on me.” She huffed and she turned away. She stormed out of the studio leaving the members and Baekhyun in shock.

His grin fell as he watched her leave. “Wait, babe! Hold on!” Baekhyun stammered as he rushed after Jordyn in a panic not noticing the smirk on her lips.

Chanyeol

Dating Chanyeol didn’t come easy especially for Alexia who was not Korean nor an idol. She didn’t understand how fans were different in Korea than her home country. One thing she learned was that, fans did not take it lightly when an idol dated. Especially when the idol is from a big group like EXO and the significant other was just some foreigner who “had no business with an idol”. Alexia didn’t plan one their relationship to enter the media, but by accident on the eve of their two year they were spotted. The fans were pissed to say the least. Everywhere on the internet had comments about them. Alexia had to deactivate her instagram, facebook, and twitter as haters began to attack her verbally.

Alexia stared down at the pregnancy test in her hand in horror. The timing couldn’t get any worse. She wished the plus sign she reviewed was just her seeing double vision, but as she threw it on top of three other tests in the trash that also had plus signs. She broke in tears as the idea of being pregnant scared her. Alexia hadn’t told Chanyeol about the hate and death threats she had gotten online from his fans. Now, she couldn’t figure out how she could tell him that she was pregnant. Her hand fell on her stomach as she tried to figure out what to do next.

One day, all the pent up stress got to Alexia. She came home from work to see nothing out of place which meant Chanyeol still didn’t come home. She chewed on her bottom lip as she felt her anger rise. It was the fifth day since Chanyeol came back to their shared apartment and he barely answered her texts. She pulled out her phone and dialed Chanyeol’s number.

“Hey love!” He greeted her like he usually did.

“Why aren’t you home?” She asked calmly.

Chanyeol stretched and let out a groan, “I’ve been at the dorms. It’s just easier to travel to and from work.”

Alexia let out a hah, “Really? Then just stay there. Take your shit and move back!” She snapped.

“Whoa!” Chanyeol’s tone echoed his shock, “What’s going on?”

“What’s going on is my boyfriend rather go to the dorm then to come home or even bother to pick up his phone.” She tugged at her hair, “I don’t get why I’m still with you when I feel like the only one who actually gives a damn about us!”

“Wait–Alexia that’s not how this is” Chanyeol’s breath quickened as he rushed to the front door “Look, I can come home now and we–”

“NO!” She screamed “Just go to hell. Don’t come home.” She hung up her phone and flung it on the couch as she fell to her knees beside it. She pressed her face in the cushion and screamed into it as she pounded on it.

That night and the next week, Chanyeol stayed away from Alexia. He didn’t approach her, text her, or call her.

Alexia knew she screwed up. She knew she did, but she couldn’t get herself to text him first. Maybe splitting was the best thing for them. Her hand fell to her stomach as she thought of raising the child alone. Her phone went off distracting her from her thoughts as she answered it, “Hello?”

“Hey.”

“Oh, Junmyeon. It’s you…”

He chuckled, “Don’t sound too disappointed. Are you busy?”

“No, what’s up?”

“It’s Chanyeol…” Alexia’s voice caught in her throat hearing his name. “I know you’re mad at him. I don’t know why, but– I’m just worried about him.” When she didn’t reply, Junmyeon continued, “He’s been in the studio since the night you told him to stay away. He hasn’t come back and he won’t talk to us–”

Alexia’s eyes watered, “I understand. I’ll go talk to him…” She hung up before Junmyeon could respond. She decided to cook Chanyeol a meal before she headed out to meet him. Alexia knew she needed to be honest with him. She couldn’t keep snapping and hiding all that’s wrong with her.

When Alexia entered the studio and Chanyeol saw her, he was shocked. It wasn’t a birthday surprise or a you’re-here  shock, but a fuck-am-I-about-to-die shock. Chanyeol was prepared for her to kill him, “I’m sorry.” He said quickly.

“I should be apologizing…” Sheh held up the bag of food as a white flag, “I brought your favorite.” He gave her a small smiled and pulled over a chair for her to sit.

As they ate, Chanyeol broke the silence, “Lexi, what happened? Were you really mad just because I was at the dorm?”

Alexia put down her chopsticks as if prepared for him to ask her that, “I can’t explain it… I just got overwhelmed and took out on you.”

“Overwhelmed about what?” Alexia’s eyes began to water and she wiped her tears before they fell. Chanyeol leaned in front of her, his food forgotten, “Baby, you have to talk to me.”

She cringed at the name. “I’m pregnant…”

“Wha?” His mouth fell open, “Is it mine–wait no! Of course it is! That’s not what I meant!”

He immediately panicked causing Alexia to laugh, “I know… Relax.”

He let out a relieved sigh, “I’m happy about this honestly!” He took her hands in his, “But there is something else, isn’t there?”

Alexia’s smile fell as she looked away from him, “I’ve been dealing a lot with hate and death threats from the fans… Since they found out about us…”

Chanyeol’s eyes darkened. His fingers twitched, “What?” His voice was low. “Death threats? From who?” She shook her head and shrugged. He felt his anger rise as he thought of what she must have gotten, “Where did it happen?”

“Only online… I deactivated all my sns accounts due to it… I just couldn’t handle it. Then the thought of being pregnant in the middle of it and I snapped at you…” She shook as she felt her tears fall, “I’m sorry, Chanyeol. I should have just talked to you.”

Chanyeol took her hands in his, “Yea, you should have told me sooner, but it’s fine. We’ll handle it together. First, I’ll make a public announcement about the death threats. Then…” He kissed her knuckles drawing her attention to him, “We can discuss the idea of getting married. Okay? You aren’t doing this alone.” Alexia nodded before she took her hands from his and hugged him. Chanyeol hugged her back tightly and let out a breath now that everything was finally gook between them. “Can I come home now? I miss waking up beside you…”

Alexia let out a giggle, “Please come home with me… I miss you.”

Wheel Of Fortune

EXO Park Chanyeol x Reader + others Characters: EXO Summary:  Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Chanyeol was head over heels for you but he was 100% in denial that you liked Kyungsoo. Word Count: 1k+ Warnings: CRACK FOOL. RUN IF YOURE NOT HERE FOR THAT, jealousy, bottled emotions, fluff ending, etc.

A/N: this was TOO FLUFFY tbh. i wanted to hurt myself but it turned into fluff but oh well

let’s start at the beginning

your parents were introduced by mutual friends and started talking on the phone

okay kidding that’s too far

right

so you worked at SM

and is the maknae of a seven member coed group that debut a year after BigBang and a year before SHINee

(so 2007)

which considering the fact you were younger than Sehun by a couple of months meant you debuted at 10

just roll with it cos ITZ MY VERY SPECIFIC PLOT DMMIT

wheLP

the members were all exactly one year apart and the members from eldest to youngest,, the sequence was a guy (@ 30 yrs old), a girl (29), a guy (28), a girl (27), a guy (26), a guy (25), then you (24).

I KNOW I DONT NEED THIS BUT THIS IS HOW I IMAGINED THIS PLOT IT DMMIT

ok

since you were basically a sunbae at SM even tho u were a smol child you wanted to show your support to your hoobaes

So a day before their debut as a whole group, you, along with the eldest member of your group, who was the leader, visited EXO in the dance studio and gave moral support

You were A BIG FAN and it showed

not that you were hiding it in the first place

your leader was HIGH KEY embarrassed by you, but low key thought it was kinda cute how excited you were for this song

so dUH EXO dances growl for you

anD YOU NEARLY SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST BECAUSE OF HOW PERFECT EVERYTHING WAS

Luhan’s voice

Baekhyun’s attitude

Sehun’s resting bitch face

YOU WERE ON THE FLOOR SCREAMING

“I think she malfunctioned,” your leader gave a face and pushed you on the shoulder to see if you were still breathing as you let out a silent scream

“CAN YOU GUYS DO IT ONE MORE TIME”

T O G E T H E R

like who else in SM mattered

SHINee who?

JK YOUWERE A SHAWOL THROUGH AND THROUGH

you reassure Minho everytime unless you wanted to die that day

YOu EVEN FANGIRLED OVER TAEMIN’s MOVE WITH MINSEOK

BUT YOU OBVI you had MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM TO BE AN EXO-L and an elf and a cassie and a so-won and DONT FOrget a vip and a---

you get the point

ANYWAY

as you were close with everyone you had a special bond with every individual

YALL STILL TEXT WITH YA BOY KRIS

yOU WENT ON A SHOW IN CHINA WITH LUHAN

TAO LEAVES PUKE COMMENTS ON YOUR INSTA POSTS

my ot12

and as much as you say you are equally close with everyone

errbody knows that be bull the size of russia

yall caNNOT dENy that you and chanyeol have the same crack powder on your philtrums

LIKE KYUNGSOO CANNOT LIVE WHEN YOU TWO ARE TOGETHER

LET HIM LIVEEEEEE

this moment must never die

ya boy be mindin his own business then

BAM BITCH

you and chanyeol be makin D.O. cray af

rest assured he HAS thought of how he’d kill both of you

ANd that’s why chanyeol loves you

like he decided he liked you the moment you lost your breath laughing when he threw a rubber duck at Kyunggsoo’s head, making it squeak in the most demented way no one thought possible

but he knew he loved you when you helped him lighten up on one of his dark days

you had that kind of effect on people

i mean all you did was sit down with him, both of your backs leaned up against each other’s, head occasionally leaning against the other’s head or shoulder, and played some nothings on the guitar and ukulele

but that was more than enough

you were there with him

and that’s what mattered

But literally the moment he accepted his feelings for you

he began to notice something he felt 100000% dumb for not seeing before

the way you laugh when Kyungsoo says a lame-ass joke

the way you always hug him from behind

you did that with literally everyone you were close with sure, 

but Chanyeol noticed you did it with him more 

and he 3

there was also the way you were just always winding up next to Soo when he was around, like he had some sort of magnet on him

and how you just liked poking his cheeks, begging him to show his dimples

which were really faint like gurl--

chANYEOL HAD DIMPLES TOO

CHANYEOL HAS DIMPLES

why daheq did you like his close to nonexistent ones?????????

????????

okay you liked poking Lay’s dimples more

look at my boy, who i love with burning passion ANDWILL DESTROY SM FOR BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO BE WITH HIS BAND SM SM SM!!!!! CHINA KOREA POLITICS FK ALL YALL

and suho

and chen

anD FINE--

yeah you did poke his too

literally anyone who remotely has dimples tbh

BT WHY KYUNGSOO

ads;ajsd;lasjdkas #jelly

so chanyeol decides to ask someone about it

so he obviously goes to his wisest hyung

but the day he  wants to talk to Suho, YOU WERE ON A DATE WITH HIM

like a date but not a date date he could tell

BUT A DATE NONETHELESS AND HE WAS KINDA JELLY

so he goes to Baekhyun for some fucking reason

and he’s like “omg u like her i couLDnt FUCKING TELL FROM ALL THE HEARTS IN TH AIR”

instant regret

but like Baek did give him some advice

like 5% was advice

the other 99% was him screaming to just be a man and tell her

so chanyeol is like, “STFU.... also she likes kyungsoo so fml”

and for a hot second Baekhyun has nothing to say

BAEKHYUN HAS NOTHING TO SAY

“idek dude. this is why i flirted with her openly”

Chanyeol punched him for saying that

but he decides he’s going to tell you after like 231109 years

cos Jongdae said you don’t like Kyungsoo and that he’s sure of it

Chanyeol asked how he was sure and he was just all like

“she had a crush on Sungmin hyung before and DID NOT act like that at all.”

That made Chanyeol a lot more hopeful

So he just went for it

and asked if you wanted to get lunch

and then after eating, you guys walked back

and he just sort of blurted it out

“Joahaeyo.”

you just looked at him and chuckled, “Thank you. I like you too, Yeolie.”

bitch are you for real rn

before Chanyeol could clarify, your walking slowed, “I’ve known for a while now.”

ok

wait

w h a t

“Minseok oppa told me.”

?????????? uhm HOW DID HE KNOW

Chanyeol’s hands were waterfalls atm, “Why did he tell you?”

Your face starts burning red and chanyeol cant help but think of it as a bad sign

“I told him I liked him...”

“... and he said he can’t reciprocate because he knows you like me, and that he can’t do that to his dongsaeng.”

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah 

cool story bro

you liked someone in EXO that was NOT him

cool cool cool

I GUESS CHEN WAS RIGHT 

THANKS

wait did that mean chanyeol was this obvious

wait did that mean chanyeol ruined your chances with his hyung

wait was this why you cried that one time

WaiT WAS THIS WHY YOU HUNG AROUND KYUNGSOO

BECAUSE WHENEVER MINSEOK WAS IN THE ROOM, YOU WOULD GET KINDA STIFF AT A POINT AND KYUNGSOO MAKE A JOKE TO MAKE YOU LAUGH

WASTHIS WHY YOU TWO HUNG OUT MORE

WHY HADN’T HE NOTICED

AND IF EVERYONE ELSE DID

WHY DIDNT THEY TELL HIM

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Chanyeol frowned and called out your name, proceeding to apologize

“Wae? why are you sorry? did you tell minseok to say that to me?“

he couldn’t feel mushy and weird at what you said

“YA dont tell me youre going to be weird around me too. It’s bad enough Minseok oppa distanced himself a bit.”

Chanyeol couldn’t help but be angry, sad, protective, and annoyed all at once at what you just admitted to him

“I’ll tell him to stop.”

You pouted, “you don’t have to tell anyone anything, chanyeol.”

“yes but you don’t deserve to feel awkward around anyone.”

“yes but that was minseok oppa’s choice.”

“yes but he was only doing that because he’s my hyung and he’s dumb.”

“yes but-- 

OU KNOW WHAT WHY DONT WE ALL JUST BE AWKWARD AROUND EACH OTHER”

and so you walked forward fast and tried to ignore chanyeol

Chanyeol, with his freakishly long legs caught up with you though

he caught your arm

“What tf are you doing?“

“Ew dont talk to me its awkward. im awkward. your awkward.”

Chanyeol laughed. “yaaaaa, why do i like you?

“THAT’S WHAT IM THINKING HO”

[marshmallow-phd]

I’m not the same person that asked about THHAD but I just wanted to mention that what you said about Yixing and exo might be true we must not forget that he is also a youth ambassador and that title was given to him by the Chinese government. So I think that adds on right now to reasons why he is not joining exo, cuz he has an important “role” and since it’s not sunshine and flowers yet between the countries I don’t think he nor Sm wants to risk exo possibly getting shunned by China.. (1/2)

Plus yes it is true that idols are now allowed to have concerts in China they can’t perform at big revenues like they did before the ban, since China feels like idols promote there if they start failing in Korea & need more money and also the bigger you are in China the harder it will be to comeback & not get hate, maybe after a few more years Lay can go back and all the tension is gone but now, I don’t think that it’s a good idea. (I don’t want to sound like I’m hating! Sorry if it does!! 1/2)

**

I’m sorry, I meant to answer this right away but you caught me right before I left work. If my previous answer made it seem like I thought it was purely Yixing’s solo career that was keeping him away, then I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. I did mean that it was more than that and more than THAAD. I believe it’s a mix of many things. His ambassador role for the Communist Youth League (which is something I’m coming to terms with, but not a discussion I really want to have) probably just being another factor. I think its a very complicated situation. I don’t know if I necessarily agree with the bigger you are in china, the more hate you’d get for coming back because Jackson is HUGE in China, a major variety star and his singles have charted high but he doesn’t get hate for still being a part of got7. I’m sure there would some issue with Yixing rejoining EXO. I think SM was testing that by putting him in the Chinese version of Tempo, but the response was mostly well received. I don’t think it would be a few more years before Yixing rejoins them, but I don’t see it happening in the near future. Maybe 2020? I don’t know. It’s a very complicated situation and we’ll never know for sure unless Yixing or someone else speaks out about it. (Your response was just fine! I hope mine didn’t come out rudely! I hate how tone is lost in situations like these!)

[taezhu]

✧ what they’re like as your boyfriend;

exo version here; nct version here; monsta x version here; if you’d like to request a reaction or fake texts, check my rules here 💌  I’ve only done the current members of SuJu but if you’d like the others let me know!

Leeteuk

Considerate. It would be stupid to not consider Leeteuk’s leadership qualities when it comes to a relationship. He’s not my bias and he’s never been my bias, but I think the fact he takes control of things is pretty good. Not in any other way than he’s organised and he will remember if you said something in the past which could affect something he’s doing. Say when you first meet you tell him you’re afraid of the dark, he’ll remember this no matter what. You don’t like chocolate? he’ll find the best red velvet cake for you. He’s a man of a great deal of affection which may be hidden sometimes, mostly because if he’s ever been hurt in the past he’ll hold onto any worries or problems that occurred before. Providing he’s with someone who’s open with him, this won’t be a problem. Also, I expect a little teensie bit of OCD. I read his ideal type list, most people just say two or three things but this boy has really thought about it. Definitely is always looking towards the future, so will give you his all if he loves you deeply.

Heechul

Tease. I know a lot of idols, yet none have ever managed to live up to the same standards as Heechul when it comes to someone who can make me so frustrated yet I still think he’s cute apart from wonwoo but that is a different story. Expect a lot of times when he’ll straight up tease you, be it for any reason at all. Overall I just think he’d be playful and not as serious as some of the others here, opting to see a relationship as an extended version of best friends. He loves you, but he’d also count on you to answer his 3am jokes and would most definitely glare at you from across the room if you didn’t check your phone when he clearly did actually text you. But, yeah, it’s not too serious and that’s the main point I have to make. You can count on him for anything though, but like Leeteuk he may carry things from past relationships which might make him insecure, as they’re both cancers. You can still rely on him for anything, though.

Yesung

Reserved. This isn’t a bad thing, believe me. Yesung is the type who would get a compliment from you and act like it meant nothing to him but on the inside he’s a mess. ‘Cause he appreciates it all, everything you do for him, even if he doesn’t show it as well as someone like Donghae might. Hey, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. On the reverse, I don’t think you’ll find someone as devoted as Yesung. Sure, he’s not emotional as such, but you can bet if he finds out your boss was being rude to you one day, he’ll be on the phone to SM’s legal team asking about how he can sue them to hell and back. If you’re dating him, you’re already closer than anyone else is to his heart. I think of all things he’s scared of having his heart broken being a virgo and all, so it’s wise to be aware that Yesung probably will be as shy as Moon Taeil is on occasion. Only difference is, Yesung is always shy, and probably the epitome of those do you like me?--we’re married--yeah, but do you like me? posts. 

Shindong

Charismatic. Shindong, a mon avis, is one of the sweetest people ever. Like, I’m serious. When I first found out his avi was shinsfriends my heart was so warm... I think he’s a seriously caring person that would be amazing to be around. Compared to the others he’s quite open and friendly, allowing himself to openly fall in love with someone for them doing quite mundane things. Kinda like... oh you held a door open for me? let’s go on a date!, but less dramatised. What you should know is that if he does care for you, he’ll care for you beyond all earthly forms and you will feel like royalty. No joke. Considering that his ideal type is someone who can play drums, I think he may be attracted to pretty flamboyant acts or gestures. He’s not the type to be embarrassed if you’ll take him on a date or ask him out, he’ll think it’s good! Keep in mind he’ll remember everything you say, and he’ll overthink it too. Reassure him of your love.

Eunhyuk

Passionate. Can I just write fuckboy? I’m joking, I don’t believe he’s a fuckboy, that was the primary thing that came to mind because... well, I’ll save that for another time. Enquire about my thoughts for another post. My boy is an Aries, and you know what that means - fire signs, wild signs. He’s emotional, he’s romantic and he can be a bit of an asshole. All within reason, though. What you should take from it is that he's loyal, he’ll give you his all. Regardless of his star sign, he’s someone who has learnt a lot from life and most likely won’t take things for granted anyway, so I see him as the type who won’t fall out of love once they’re in it. Take that in whatever way you wish to, but personally I think he’d be a lifelong companion who will show you all the love you might have ever missed out on. He’ll want you to be honest but might not be honest himself, so give him the benefit of the doubt and try to accept him when he’s being moody instead of telling you what the real problem is. He’s hyper, too. 

Siwon

Confident. Anyone who is here to deny me that Choi Siwon is one of the most beautiful people to ever exist, please click off now because I’m not gonna shut up about this for the next paragraph. Yeah, if I looked like he did I would be confident too, but don’t take this as him thinking he’s too good for you. He’s somewhat humble too, someone who will give you their all if you do the exact same. Now maybe I'm pulling at strings here, but he said his favourite film is the godfather and maybe I’m pulling at strings here but I’m assuming he is someone who would be closely attached to their family and is a big contender for most loyal in SuJu. Another Aries (you have to know by now that I will only date an Aries), he’s strong but may often jump to conclusions in things. He knows how to annoy you and may use this against you if he needs to protect himself. He’s intelligent, kind and not afraid to make some banter. What a lad.

Donghae

Trusting. I love a man who cries, okay? Wonho, Taeil, and Donghae are three of those men and I will never deny them my love. It’s a great thing that he isn’t afraid to express how he feels, and even if I get a lot of second hand embarrassment from watching him it’s enough to cope with. As he wants someone motherly, it can be assumed he wants someone who can care for him. Basically, I think he’s secretly a bit clingy and needy, which is cute, really. He’d give love back to you in different ways though, and I think he’d also want to be with someone who he could consider a good friend of his, too. He’d rely on you, knowing that he’d have your back if you needed him to. I just generally think Donghae can be included in that perfect boyfriend category I've started, he’s so cute and I fell in love with him too quickly (sorry, Kyuhyun, you’re still my number 1 though). He’s a mix of every kind of boyfriend, a little flirty and romantic but loyal and playful too. Love him lots, okay?

Happy Donghae Day!

2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017

Today marks the seventh annual Donghae Day. That is, it’s been seven years that I’ve been a kpop fan. This year also marked my two-year anniversary at my full time job (for those who don’t know, prior to 2016, I had been working two jobs for almost nine years). Not everything has been good, the state of the world gets worse, we lost three idols from groups I love, as well as author/chef who meant a lot to me personally. But it hasn’t all been bad or sad, it has been like so much of life - full of everything. 

My journey into kpop started with this post and has continued forward ever since. The links above are all of my previous Donghae Day posts, including the original reblog. This day has become more than just the simple reminder of my love of kpop. Instead it has become a celebration of the things, and the people, that I love. To me, Donghae Day, like kpop, isn’t just about the music or the idols. It’s about everything that comes with that - it’s about friends, food, love, life, and joy. It’s understanding that kpop is more than just an escape from the shittiness that is the world today. I am forever grateful for that Donghae gifset and for everything that has come after - from the music itself, to the tv shows, to the concerts, to all of the friends of I have made. 

Before I get into the really fun stuff - I want to take a moment to talk about those friends. People talk shit about women who like pop music, they judge you for liking cute boys, for writing fanfic, for listening to music, going to concerts, buying plushies/albums/whatever. But none of that matters, not really. What does matter? All these people I’ve become friends with. Over the past year (Donghae Day year as well as 2018) I have made friends with so many new people - some close friends, some not - and it is wonderful. This, to me, is at the heart of what I love about kpop and is deeply important to understand why Donghae Day is so important. Of all the things I love about kpop, it is my friendships that are the single best part. So, to all of my friends (kpop fans and non fans alike), I love you all. Thank you for being amazing people. ❤️❤️

And now … the fun stuff!

So, you say, seven years? And I say: FUCK YEAH, SEVEN YEARS!!! 

What has happened since last year’s Donghae Day? A LOT and sort of not much at all. Kpop-related, there were two really big events for me. One of the was that @namjoonrecyclables and I went to Chicago to see VAV! It was a fantastic concert, though we both realized that we’re getting too old (lol) to drive down to Chicago the same day as the show. It’s also the only concert we’ve been to in 2018 and our wallets are grateful. The other thing that happened was that I flew out to Colorado to see @jillwandersen after not having seen her since the concert in 2014. It was also quite a lot of fun. 

A lot of smaller things have happened this year. As I said above, I’ve made new friends. I’ve also gotten into a ton of new (and not so new) groups that I am trying to learn. I also bias way too many people (the list is ever-growing). I finally admitted that my favorite groups (aside from Speed) are Seventeen and SHINee. My husband is still there, though he’s left BAP. My boyfriend list has held steady (though this may be changing - read: growing). 

I also made this playlist, called Everything’s Gonna Be Okay. It’s 20 tracks long (for now) and about an hour and 12 minutes long. You can find it on YouTube and Spotify. Please, enjoy.

Last year I talked about all the nugu/underrated groups that I love - but I can’t do that this year. Not because there aren’t any, but because there are too many. I was talking to @killerzebras (also known as my sister) the other day about why I love kpop. She told me I didn’t need to justify why I loved it, but it got me thinking about what it is that keeps me loving kpop. I am really good at loving things, but it tends to be fleeting (for many reasons, most of them perfectly reasonable) - but kpop? My love for kpop appears stronger than even my love for pro-cycling, which, for a time, I thought nothing could break (that is another post for another time and probably not on here). 

I think there are two huge reasons why I continue to adore kpop. The first is because of the friends I’ve made, as long as I have friends who love kpop, I will keep loving it, too - sharing is something I have slowly learned to love and, within the passed year, have worked on embracing. The second reason is that there is always new content. People often talk about the fact that their fandoms (books, movies, tv shows) only have limited content and often the endings are just that - endings. That works for some people, but not for me. Kpop is different (again, for me), it is, for now, the gift that keeps on giving. I get new groups to love (my heart is forever big enough), new idols to care about, new music to listen to, and the groups I already love give me more music. There is always, always something new to love while still loving what has already been. It’s not all unicorns and candy, sometimes it’s heartbreak, but there’s always something for me to love. 

I’m sure that there are quite a few things I’ve forgotten to talk about this year, but this post is already way too long. Therefore I want to talk about two (hilarious) moments in 2018. The first is the release of Infinite’s song, Tell Me, and their comeback in January. Some of you know that for many years I was not a fan of Dongwoo, for various (and dumb) reasons. However, 2018 became the year that I turned into a Dongwoo fan. 

I mean, really. How did I resist for so long? Thanks, 2018 Infinite comeback, for changing me.

The second … the second thing is something I am still embarrassed about even while having embraced it. It is something that several of my friends (especially @namjoonrecyclables) have been waiting for literally ever to happen. I have, somehow, after all these years, become a proper fan of EXO. Why, you ask? WELL, THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION. And the answer is as equally as embarrassing - it’s because of a stupid Soompi EXO quiz. You think I’m joking, but I’m not. Google said, hey you like Soompi and kpop quizzes, why don’t you take this What’s Your Relationship With EXO? quiz and I said no, but also why not. I mean, I can’t count and didn’t notice that it was just the current EXO members in the picture (it was early in the morning and I didn’t look too closely and I like quizzes … ) and so I took it and then this happened:

Look, I’m not saying it was a good idea. In fact, it was a terrible idea and I joked about it and then SM released the We Young MV with Chanyeol and Sehun and even while I love that song I joked some more because it was funny, right? Me, stanning someone in EXO just because a Soompi quiz told me to. Except … I kept joking about it and everyone who knows me knows that my biggest kpop weakness is soft rappers and @namjoonrecyclables told me (on purpose, for which I love her) that Chanyeol is a soft rapper and I was like no. But also, wait he is? And then, because I’m me, I took another quiz and it confirmed the first Soompi quiz and then I was like, this is embarrassing as fuck but why not embrace it and now, HERE I AM. 

I love Chanyeol. I bias Chanyeol. And I’m an EXO fan. I think I need help because no one knows who I am anymore. But, honestly, that’s fine. So, I guess, thanks for that Soompi.

This year’s Donghae Day is on a Friday, which means it is a full-ass day packed with stuff. @namjoonrecyclables and I have both taken the day off from work (yay!). We’re watching kpop mvs and a kdrama. We’re going out to lunch and doing more of the same. Then my friend H and I are going out for dinner and to see a movie. Why? Because we can. Because it’s Donghae Day. 

Seven years is a long time. It’s the seven-year curse year not for me (I hope!), but for groups that debuted the year I got into kpop. Of the ones that debuted in 2011, these are the ones I love: B1A4, Boyfriend, and Myname. Myname debuted a few weeks after I got into kpop, it’s so wild. We’re all still around, hopefully for longer than seven years. 

Donghae Day is about all of this. It’s about having fun, it’s about loving the things you love so much that sometimes it hurts. It’s about doing what you love and being with people you love, and it’s about living. 

I say this every year, but I don’t know where I’ll be in a year. Will I even still be a kpop fan? The trend so far seems to be yes, of course! But you can never rule anything out. Which is why I love to pour my heart into being a kpop fan. Nothing lasts for ever, but I’m going to love kpop for along as I can with as much of my heart as I can. 

I want to thank you all for accompanying me on this journey - whether you’re a kpop fan or just someone in my life who tolerates my love. Thank you all and here’s to many, many more Donghae Days if that’s what the future holds for all of us.

EXO Chanyeol RoommateAU: A match made in Heaven

You had known Chanyeol since middle school. His elder sister, Yoora, had been like an Unnie to you, mentoring you in public speaking as this was something she was very skilled at and was more than pleased to help you with your wish to become an announcer just like she was.  Once you’d met, it was like you had just found your other half, the yin to your yang, and though you’d never admit it, and neither were he, you both were soulmates. A match made in Heaven. 

After graduation, you both made the decision to move in together off campus for college. You, with your part time job and internship at Yoora’s New Channel, and Chanyeol, with his training at SM Entertainment to become an idol. You both had packed schedules and because of this, you hardly saw one another. Fortunately, you both agreed to meet on your off-weekend from working.  “Oppa!” You called out to him as you stood from your seat at the Cafe you both agreed to meet at to chat and catch up. “Ooh! My favorite Dongsaeng! How are yo-” He stopped abruptly at the sight of the man sitting next you. With his brow furrowed, he asked: “Who’s this?” Pointing in the direction of the guy.

  “Chanyeol, meet my boyfriend, Jungkook. Jungkook, meet my roommate, Par Chanyeol.”  If looks could kill, both Chanyeol and Jungkook would have killed one another just with the piercing stares they each gave to one another. Chanyeol was bigger, but Jungkook held just as much fight and fury as the giant.  “Nice to meet you, finally.” Jungkook smiled softly, while adding about how much you talked his ear off about Chanyeol; Jungkook extended a hand to Chanyeol, which Chanyeol greeted quickly, but clearly with a distaste in his expression.  “Likewise.” And so, your lunch began. You and Chanyeol talked a lot in the beginning, him telling you in as much detail as he could about his work, and school, with you following in suit; even telling him all about how his sister was doing, after learning they didn’t talk much these days.  “So busy, she always tells me!” You laughed with Chanyeol at his sisters words.  “I would agree with her,” Chanyeol began. “I really wish we could do this more often, I’ve missed you lots.” Chanyeol looked at you with care and softly. 

You opened your mouth to speak, but Jungkook was quicker: “Don’t worry, over these past 6 months I’ve been keeper her company.” Chanyeol visibly shook at that comment, but the icing on the cake was Jungkook’s final comment: “Instead of you.”  Your lunch didn’t last much longer after that. Chanyeol just couldn’t handle it, and Jungkook became more and more hostile by the minute.  “Bye Oppa, I’ll see you tonight, at home?”  Chanyeol was relieved to hear you say that, until you added: “And Jungkook will be there too! Later of course. It’s just become so hectic at his place and he’s in desperate need of a good night’s sleep!”  “Oh.” Was all Chanyeol could manage as he then turned and walked away.

                                                --3 hours later--

Chanyeol watched while you busied around the apartment, cleaning and finishing up with putting a homemade casserole into the oven to cook and be ready in time for when Jungkook would arrive.  “Why are you doing so much? I mean, how much does he need?” Chanyeol would complain, upset that you put this much effort into making Jungkook happy than you ever had him. “You don’t eve cook for us like this..” “Chanyeol,” You begin. “Jungkook is not just my boyfriend, but a guest, it’s customary to be as generous in hospitality as possible. You know this.”  After scolding him, you went back to work, this time, picking up around the living room. As you went to the couch, setting it up for sitting, and not sleeping, Chanyeol became confused. “(Y/N), where is Jungkook supposed to sleep?”  When he noticed you pause, he was set off immediately. “Oh hell no! This IS NOT HAPPENING!” “Cha--” “No! He will NOT sleep in your bed!”  “He’s my boyfriend! And it’s my room, I can let anyone be in there with me if I want to!” 

You each screamed at one another for 10 minutes. Like spoiled children arguing over a toy, like best friends demanding for their opinion to be considered right, like a couple.  Finally, you’d had enough. “Why are you so upset about this?!” You yell back at him. “Are you kidding me?!”  Chnyeol shouted. “Are you really that dense?!” 

His arm stopped you from moving down the hall towards your room to set it up for you and Jungkook. “What are you talking about?” You said, quieter than before. “Think, (Y/N), think long and hard about these past 6 months.” 

Then it hit you. 

The flowers, the notes, the breakfasts in the morning. Even the treats at work. At first, you’d assumed it to be Jungkook trying to be sweet in your first could weeks of your relationship, or even Yoora showing you her acceptance an kindness towards you. But now, you knew.  It was Chanyeol the whole time.  Every little “Have a good day!” or “Eat and drink well!” Written on every note was not from who you’d believe it to be, but from him.  “I tried to show it to you in every way I could think of, and since I couldn’t hardly ever be there in person, except when it’s late at night and we’re both exhausted and just want to sleep..” 

You could only look at him in shock. “I didn’t know, I tought.. I mean..”  “I know, I know.” 

“But don’t you see? I can’t let him come into our home.. and especially NOT in MY woman’s bed!”  “Chanyeol, I’ve already promised him, I mean, I can’t just throw six whole months away like that.” “You can’t? Even for me?”  You paused. “I don’t know what to do.”

Chanyeol couldn’t help but laugh at the adorable, and confused look on your face. “How’s about you talk to Jungkook tonight? Then once he leaves, we could..”  Chanyeol’s suggestive face earned him a slap from you. “Hey hey! I only meant cuddle!” You both laughed, and you did as was requested. You couldn’t be with Jungkook anymore, not while an incredible, loving, caring, and sweet man held your heart so tight. 

And so, you both spent the night cuddled on the couch, you crying softly at having to break up with Jungkook the way you did, but happy that Chanyeol was right there. Combining a delicious casserole, ice cream, and a giants cuddles, everything that night was made better. 

You were finally together, and it was like the stars had aligned. 

After Chanyeol fell asleep, you couldn’t help yourself but to text Yoora and tell her the news. Her response made you squeal, waking up Chanyeol in the process. 

“Oh sweetie, I’ve known you two were a match made in Heaven since I introduced you guys in middle school.” 

                                                 THE END

Side note: What’d you guys think of this one? 

XOXO, 

Macy

Black Hole

Hoshi x Reader

Words: 1510

Genre: Angst, Fluff

It may get a little gruesome.

[Y/N] is the light of my life. As far as I can remember, she's the only person who's been able to make me feel love. Her smile was like the sun to me. Her eyes were like a portal to another world.

Every little thing about [Y/N] meant something to me. The way she made me smile when I came home from a job. How everything was easier when she was there.

Then, they took her away from me. I feel broken, like a whole piece of me is missing. When I wanted to get her back, Seungcheol said we didn't have the information or need to do it. I wasn't going to let him decide when she comes back to me, though. I looked everywhere for her whereabouts, I even came close to it. Seungcheol stopped me from going any further. He claimed he knew where to find her, but could I really trust him? Could I trust anyone anymore?

"Soonyoung, listen to me. We couldn't look for [Y/N] because we needed to know exactly where she was, and now we know we can't just rush in. She's being held in EXO's basement." Seungcheol held me down on the couch while the other members were sitting around. I nearly jumped up at the name of "EXO", who had been tormenting us for years.

I gritted my teeth as I spoke, "So, we're just going to continue sitting around while those assholes keep her for another week, or even months?"

Jihoon sighed as he stood, "Hansol and I did a little digging and found out that a few of the members are going to step out around 12AM, tonight, for a big deal. It should take them a few hours to get there and back, and it should only take us an hour or less to get [Y/N]."

"Why the hell can't we do it now? There's about nine of them left, and thirteen of us. The odds are in our favor!" I was basically yelling at this point.

"Okay, no, you know that is not how this works. You know that we have like two allies compared to their whole SM thing. So, don't say that 'the odds are in our favor'!" Seungkwan yelled back at me.

I sighed, knowing that he was right.

"We only have to wait a few hours, so let's just prepare, and we'll be there in no time. Okay?" Minghao said as he signaled Seungcheol to back away.

"Alright, you guys better not mess this up for me, though." I glanced around to everyone with a slight smile.

Chan patted me on the back as I stood up, "Don't worry, we'll have your back."

It was 11:56PM when we arrived at our destination. We waited in the dark inside of our cars until we visibly saw six out of nine members leave their building. Baekhyun was probably sitting somewhere in safety, so that meant we would be dealing with Chanyeol and Chen today. If we were lucky we could get in and out without seeing any of them.

The plan was quite simple. Five of us stayed in the cars for an easy getaway. Another six were planted throughout the building, in a path where we would need to go to retrieve [Y/N]. Lastly, Minghao and I would be the ones to actually get her out of the building. It seemed like it would be the easiest job, but it turned out to be the opposite.

As soon as we entered the room, a voice came from our left, "Oh, so you've finally come to see her?" I looked over to see Chen.

"Don't worry, Chanyeol isn't with me now, so he won't maul you two. Plus, we were ready to give the girl back anyway, she's proved to be absolutely useless. I don't know why you would even want her." I clenched my fists as he spoke. The amount of disrespect he had for anyone, especially [Y/N], was ridiculous.

Minghao stepped forward, "Where is she then?"

Chen flipped a switch which caused the rest of the lights in the room to turn on.

"Now, this wasn't my idea. I just wanted to marry her off but Chanyeol insisted on using a torture method. If you touch me, I can just press a button and Chanyeol and Baekhyun will be here within seconds." His arm extended as he pointed towards the middle of the room.

[Y/N] sat there, strapped into a metal chair with ropes. From afar, I could see a line of blood running down her face. I told Minghao to stay back and keep an eye on Chen. As I stepped closer, it only seemed to get worse.

Her ring fingers were both gone, and the rest of her fingernails were torn off. The blood on her face had been dried up but it came from a small wound on her forehead. Her clothes had also been covered in blood, but it seemed more fresh.

Very carefully, I pulled at the area where the blood stained, but she still writhed in pain. I brought my hand back to my face, not wanting to damage her any further.

"[Y/N], you're awake? You can hear me?" I called out to her. She responded by slowly lifting her head, her eyes shut. She was wincing in pain.

"We need to get you out of here, okay? Just bear with me, I'll make sure you get better, okay?" I lightly set my hand on her shoulder. I didn't receive a response, so I assumed it didn't hurt there.

Her mouth started to open slowly, "Don't look at me." She said in a whisper. I shook my head to tell her no. I left her for a moment to look for a sharp item. Avoiding anything that already had blood on it, I found a pair of scissors on a table in the back.

Going back to her, I saw Minghao was conversing with Chen, but Seungcheol had come into the room. Most likely, that was a bad sign. I quickly made my way back to [Y/N] and started snipping away at the ropes.

"Soonyoung, I'm worthless." She whispered again. I deeply sighed as I looked back up to her. Her beautiful eyes were open wide, as if she feared of blinking. I didn't see another world. There was a black hole. A black hole that sucked away everything I cared about.

"Stop. Don't say stupid things." My hands began to shake as I was finishing up with the ropes. She moved out her arms, to some extent, and put her hands to her face. I was going to ask what she was doing, but I realized she was trying to wipe away tears. Tears that didn't come out.

I pulled the last rope off of her leg, and delicately picked her up.

"Does this hurt?" I asked her.

"No."

"Oh, good." I went ahead and slowly walked over to Seungcheol.

His eyes widened as he saw [Y/N], "Holy shit, she's seen b-" I shushed him before he could finish. She looks beautiful as always.

"I could kill you right now, if I had the time." Seungcheol pointed at Chen, who responded with a laugh.

"Wait, why can't we kill him?" I questioned.

Chen's laughter died down as he spoke, "There was an error with our job so everyone's on their way back. You need to get out of here right about..." He checked his phone, "Now."

He held up the device to show a message that read "be there in 5".

"I've already cleared everyone else out, so let's get going." Seungcheol said. Minghao nodded his head as he held open the door for us.

Chen got in one last word before he was out of sight, "See you all again soon!" "You shouldn't have came." [Y/N] was more awake now, but she wasn't going to be herself anytime soon.

I continued running throughout the building, hopefully nearing the exit.

We got outside, but [Y/N]'s thoughts seemed to be stuck. "You could have lived better without me."

I stopped just outside of our car. I wanted to say something to her, but nothing would come out.

"What the hell are you doing?" Seungcheol yelled as he tugged us into the car. We immediately started driving away as I got myself and [Y/N] situated.

"I'm sorry." I said to her.

She looked down, "I should be the one that's sorry."

"No, I let you get away. I let myself end up as a failure. I couldn't even tell you how much you mean to me." [Y/N] burst out into tears, and the teardrops actually rolled down her cheeks. I didn't enjoy seeing her cry, but her bodily functions beginning to work again brought a bittersweet smile to my face.

I held onto her hand as I continued, "I could not live without you, and I'm never going to let this happen again. I'm going to make you happy again. I'm going to bring back the sunshine."
