aftercare (yunjin x f!reader)

synopsis: yunjin passed out from some fun activities earlier so you being the best girlfriend ever, decide to take care of her once you reach home. being the cutest little wlw couple ever.

songs used: WET by jooyoung.

warnings: fluff overload, suggestive?, mostly yunjin being your baby despite being older than you.

word count: 800+

┌────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────┐

you pick up yunjin out of her seat and slowly walk over to the front door of your shared apartment. you open the door and walk over to the bedroom and politely lay her onto the bed.

you head to the bathroom and clean up after yourself and take off the strap for some thorough cleaning. you hear shuffling outside the bathroom door and realize that yunjin’s awake.

“hi baby, are you awake now?” you walk up to her and smile at her. she takes awhile to adjust to the bedroom lighting before completely opening her eyes.

“my legs are sore.” she groans out as she tries to get up. you quickly walk over to her side and help her get up so you could shower together and get cozy.

you begin to take off yunjin’s remaining clothes and turn on the shower. “i want you to shower with me too baby!” she whines like a child. so, you take off your clothes and get into the shower with her.

you take the body wash and lather up her body with it, going over all of her curves and crevices. gently massaging her body as you proceed to clean her up. you look up to see her eyes slightly closed and relishing in the feeling of relief.

you grab the shampoo and rub it into her hair, untangling any knots in her black lush curls. yunjin turns around and wraps her arms around your body and snuggles into your chest as you continue to wash her hair.

you shake your head and smile to yourself. how did i ever get so lucky? you couldn’t help but feel that warmth in your heart when you saw her being so adorable.

you sat yunjin onto the bench that was in the shower so you could clean yourself up and get ready for bed together. you quickly wash yourself up with your favourite body wash and rinse it all off before heading to yunjin.

you get the big comfy towel hanging on the side of the shower and dry her off before drying yourself off. yunjin just hugs you as you struggle to walk over to the sink with her hugging you so tightly, not that you were complaining. you sat her on the counter as you grabbed the lotion and applied it to yunjin’s face and body before doing the same to yours.

yunjin rested her chin on your shoulder as you put on your oversized t shirt. everything was so intimate and sensual. you both kept gazing into each others eyes, not saying a word but still understanding everything.

you dressed her up softly, in your clothes because you knew she’d rip off her clothes in the middle of the night if you didn’t. after all, she loved the way your clothes felt on her.

“si-kkeu-reop-deon neo-wa na-ui love song,

gye-sok hold tight eo-neu-sae,

sae-ppal-gan lips make me,

lips make me”

you could hear your houses’ speakers playing your favourite song in the background, only adding more intimacy to the whole experience. you lifted yunjin off of the counter and headed over to your shared bed.

“nae mam-eul jeok-syeo-jwo bi nae-ryeo-jwo,

me-ma-reu-ji an-ke a-peu-ji an-ke,

raining in my room,

nal ran-a-jwo”

you felt a smile pull at your lips once again, yunjin made you so happy after all. you laid her onto the bed as you went to check all the locks around the house, making sure they were locked.

you went back upstairs to your bedroom and saw yunjin looking back at you. you both stared at each other in silence, feeling your hearts beating in sync.

“i want you to make love to me tomorrow. but for now, please kiss me.” she spoke up through the silence. you gently held her face up and placed your lips on hers. she started to move her lips along yours. just feeling both of you so in love with each other.

yunjin’s eyes began tearing up from the love and warmth you provided her everyday. you pulled away and wiped her tears away. “i love you so much my love.” you confessed.

“i love you just as much, maybe even more. just know i love you to the milky way and back.” you laughed at what she said, finding it silly but genuine. you turned off the lights, including the lamp sitting next to you.

“This is what I feel like,

nun-i bu-syeo bal-geun bi-cheul jo-geum nat-chwo,

bo-i-ji a-na-do neol cha-jeul su i-seo,

da-eul deut deo da-eul deut,

na-reul dang-gi-neun ni son”

you got under the covers, holding yunjin close to you. she snuggled her head onto your chest and wrapped her arms around your body as you held her from the waist. you felt her breathing come steady, realizing that she fell asleep.

you kissed her on the forehead and headed to your dreamland, consisting of you and yunjin dancing around the stars.

the end.

headcanon: vocals

word count: 550 words

ash wasn’t vocally trained until he became a trainee, though he did do his fair share of casual singing as a kid, enough to have a basic understanding of his instrument when he auditioned for dimensions. he’d been singing along to songs as he played them on guitar or piano for years at that point and his overall musical background also lent him to a very good sense of pitch and musicality. these factors helped him to be good enough during his audition phase and about one week of training he got before being put into the main vocal position of polaris for their competition show.

he went through a few different vocal coaches during his trainee and rookie days. his first ever vocal coach was someone whose style didn’t match his own all that well, which played a part in his low confidence during early days of training. with his first vocal coach especially, he was more inclined to try to fit what they wanted from him to go along with the crowd and fit in, but after he had gone through a few more vocal coaches and found one that was a better match with the style he felt more natural in, he grew in confidence in his voice again.

ash still takes vocal lessons, in theory. whether he actually goes with any regularity is very varying and in recent years, he’s tended to only take a few lessons a year, most of which are over video call while he’s abroad touring. ash understands the importance of a vocal coach, but he doesn’t have much motivation to do anything other than lock himself in the studio a lot of the time, and the past few years have been incredibly tumultuous personally for him. 

his range is f♯2 to b♭5 with a supported range of C3/C♯3 - G♯4 - E♭5/E5 and he’s most comfortable in the area of the third and early fourth octaves.

strengths that listeners tend to point out are his comfort in his own voice, his musicality, and his pitch. he comes off as very confident of his voice and aware of his abilities and his limits when he sings. he also has a very good sense of pitch, to the point it’s been spread around as fact that he has absolute (”perfect”) pitch, but he just has a very strong sense of relative pitch thanks to years as a musician. another strength he owes to his many years in music is his musicality, although his musicality is also something he just very innately has. his musicality, and his ability to really convey a song’s emotions (mostly in the case of those he wrote or really connects to) tends to shine through as his defining strength as a vocalist.

his vocal coach sort of hates the little vocal fry / rasp he likes to do when singing his solo music 

his tone is most often described as ‘dark honey’, sweet and indulgent, but also emotional and seductive. regardless of genre or song, his tone remains. he’s not someone who really changes his voice to match the songs he sings, instead making the song fit his voice instead.

here are some example links of what his vocals are like (to me!.gif): dean, sam kim, jooyoung, gemini, junny

SUMMER’S INTERLUDE 02

LET ME KNOW - series masterlist

previous -> summer’s interlude 02 -> next

If there’s anything Jaehyun’s been sure of, it’s his feelings for you. But there’s always one thing that holds him back. Why can’t he tell you?

When a man and a woman become best friends, one is bound to fall for the other. In this case, it’s him.

“I think there’s something you should know, Jaehyun.”

Jaehyun quirks an eyebrow at Johnny. His friend turns on the engine of his car and locks the doors. Jaehyun could only stare at him confusedly.

“You’re not going home yet.” Johnny commands as he drives through the neighborhood. “We need to have a talk.”

The ride is quiet. Jaehyun looks out the window. It’s a beautiful morning. The skies are bright. The sun feels warm against his skin. Johnny pulls up at a familiar place that holds many memories. It’s the neighbourhood soccer field. It’s the usual place where the three of you meet up to star-gaze.

“What’s up with you, lately?”

Jaehyun glances at him. “Me?”

Johnny glares at him. “Who else do you think I’m asking?”

“I don’t know,” he shrugs his shoulders.

“First, you ask me to go get some drinks with you. Then, you get shit-faced drunk.” Johnny says. “Now, you’re acting petty. For what? Did something happen?”

“She happened,” Jaehyun mumbles. His voice is so soft and quiet and Johnny barely picks it up.

“I’m slowly starting to think it’s because of Y/N. Ever since a guy started liking her, ever since it made her happy, you’ve been acting the complete opposite.”

Jaehyun sighs. “Remember when I complained about my quarter-love life crisis?”

“Yes, and what about it?”

“Y/N and I cheered each other on about finding the one. But,” Jaehyun gulps nervously. “But ever since Jooyoung tried to pursue her, I didn’t like the idea.”

“Didn’t like the idea of what?”

“That she’s potentially going to be with him. That I’m going to try and cheer her on but knowing deep down that it’s far from being sincere.” Jaehyun explains.

Johnny holds in a breath. Johnny knows how you feel for Jaehyun. He didn’t need you to tell him because he could see it. He could see how much you love Jaehyun. But he never thought he’d see the day where Jaehyun would finally notice it. And now that it’s happening right in front of him, he’s not sure how to approach it.

“Well,” Johnny hesitates. “Why do you think you feel that way?”

“Johnny, I don’t think I could stand seeing her with someone else. But at the same time, I’m pushing her away because I don’t want to ruin or stop her from being happy.” Jaehyun replies.

“What if stopping her will make her happy?”

Jaehyun looks at his best friend. “What do you mean?”

“You’ve always thought that stopping her from being happy would be stopping her from being with someone that’s not you.” Johnny explains. “But have you thought of another possibility? The possibility that stopping her from being with someone else and being with you instead would make her happy?”

Jaehyun chuckles breathlessly. “Do you think she would be happy with someone like me? Her best friend? Her best friend that unfortunately has feelings for her?”

“She’s been with you for most of her life, as your best friend. What does being with you as a lover make it any more different?”

“I can’t. I can’t risk our friendship.” Jaehyun shakes his head. “I’d rather have her as my best friend if telling her how I feel about her would make me lose her forever.”

Johnny smiles while shaking his head. “Y/N isn’t like that. You’ll never lose her over something like that.”

“How could you say that?” He asks.

“I say this because I see it. I see how special you are to her. She looks at you like you’re her whole entire universe. She looks at you like with one wrong move, you’ll be gone forever.”

author’s note. yall it’s almost done. we’ve passed the second interlude and there’s only a couple chapters left. i can’t omg i never thought it’d be done so fast. i hope you liked it!

Before I Met You Masterlist

Prev | Next

On the morning of Winter Ball, Doyoung and I were running late on finishing our history presentation. To increase the anxiety, everyone else messaged me to tell me they were going to be late and I was beginning to wonder if that was a sign as to how the rest of the night was going to progress. Fortunately, we managed to make it to the restaurant within a half hour of the originally planned time.

We all admired each other’s outfits at the restaurant. I opted for a navy blue body con dress with sparkly silver heels; Doyoung looked rather casual with some black slacks, a white button-up with a tie, and a black pair of converse; Hana wore a black, lacy A-line dress with nude heels; Hyojin had a black, leopard print sheath dress and black booties; and Seungwan wore a teal blouson dress with white flats.

Luckily, despite the initial mess, we managed to have dinner and arrived at the dance right as the doors opened. Few people were there; most of them likely wouldn’t arrive for another hour.

The five of us walk into the dance hall and pick an empty table towards the back to place our belongings. The room is dark with the exception of several spotlights illuminating the dance floor and decorative candles spread out over the white-clothed tables. Hyojin and I sit down and watch the handful of people who had started to dance.  

“So what are you going to do?” she asks.

I smile. “It’s not going to happen, okay? So don’t worry about it.”

“You could just ask him!”

She’s right. I could just ask him; but unfortunately, my fear overrides any risk I’m willing to take for a chance that is ultimately, really slim. 

I shrug and stand up when I see Doyoung, Hana, and Seungwan heading towards the dance floor. Hyojin follows after me and we join the other three in a very awkward effort to dance – at least, it’s an awkward effort for me. My self-awareness of the lack of people around me makes my body tense as I can’t be sufficiently shielded from any onlookers seeing my poor attempt to move to the music. I’m already distracted from frequently looking towards the entrance, anticipating Lucas’s arrival. My split attention is probably making my movements even more stiff and robotic. I try to ignore it, engaging in empty laughter with my friends.  

As more people arrive, the dance floor gradually becomes full. What a relief. Soon, Hana taps me on the shoulder, asking me to accompany her to the restroom to help fix her hair. As we walk into the lobby, I pause as another group walks in from the main entrance.  

Lucas.

Lucas is at the front of his group of six boys with Seulgi following closely behind him. There’s a certain demeanor to them, as if they’re trying too hard to give the impression of some kind of social status within the high school realm. Lucas is holding his head a little too high and Seulgi looks as if she’s just trying to fit in by hanging onto their supposed alpha.

“Look who’s here!” Hana teases.

I press my lips together and continue walking to the restroom, my gaze focused on the floor.  

I frown when I look in the mirror.  

“I didn’t realize that I look like a mess,” I say, referring to my hair that had fallen from its original pinned structure.  

“Just shows that you’re having fun!”

After assisting each other to look presentable again, we walk back into the lobby to find Kun and Sooyoung, two of the nominees for Winter Ball Court.  

“Hey! Y/N!” Sooyoung greets as she walks up to give me a hug.

“Hey, Sooyoung. Hi, Kun.”

“Hi, Y/N,” Kun says, giving me a quick hug before taking a step back.  

Hana begins to engage in small talk with Sooyoung. I stand there, appreciating the scent of Kun’s cologne before I see his eyes looking up and down my figure.

“Wow, Y/N...” He almost looks surprised. “You look really nice!” 

Subtle.

“Thanks! So do you!” I say, making the effort to exchange pleasantries.

Hana and I exchange a few more words before bidding our goodbyes and rejoining our group on the dance floor. Yeri, one of Hana’s friends, taps Hana’s shoulder and joins our circle as we dance together. I look around the room, immediately spotting Lucas dancing with his friends.

Okay, so just keep an eye – oh who am I kidding? You already know this isn’t going to happen.  

Yeah, but you secretly want it to happen so you’re going to keep an eye on him anyway.

Eric Nam’s “Love Song” begins to play over the loudspeaker and couples convene on the dance floor. I snap my head over to the spot where I saw the boy I was so desperate to dance with, but before I can locate him, two arms are suddenly thrown over my shoulders.

What the –

My head snaps back to see Doyoung, Seungwan, Hana, Yeri, and Hyojin rocking us in a circle with everyone’s arms around each other’s backs.

“What are we doing?” I shout in confusion.

I hesitantly put my arms around Hana’s and Seungwan’s backs and continue to rock back and forth with them. Attempts to look around to see what everyone else is doing are fruitless due to the arms strapped around my shoulders, locking me into place. I frown.    

We’re doing a six person slow dance. I’m pretty sure no one else is doing this.  

“Is anyone else doing this?!” I shout to everyone.

“No!” Doyoung answers cheerfully.

Okay then… this is really awkward.

A short while later, two random girls run up to our circle and ask to join us. My face grows expressionless.

Now it’s an eight person slow dance. Fantastic.

Looking over Doyoung’s shoulder, I can see two-person couples slow dancing - as one would typically expect. We were definitely the only people in this arrangement. Having realized I had no choice but to go along with it, I laugh nervously, self-conscious of the fact that everyone was likely questioning our choice. Fortunately, the song quickly ends and everyone releases their arms, laughing to each other. The two girls who joined us thank us and run off.  

Hyojin turns to me. “Hey, I need to get some air. Want to come with me?”

“Sure.”

We walk into the lobby, chatting back and forth about dinner and the silly dance we just had.  

“That was… odd,” I remark.

“Yeah, but it was fun!”

We walk around the lobby for a bit, deciding to sit down on the sofas and watch people having their pictures taken.

“I didn’t see him. Well, I did, but then I lost sight of him when we started dancing together,” I say.

“I’m telling you! You should just ask him!”

“He’s probably just going to dance with Seulgi.”

“So? No harm in asking. You guys are friends! Why wouldn’t he want to?”

“Because I’m a chicken.”

“Yes, but you’re a beautiful chicken,” she says. “You’re a beautiful, brave chicken that’s going to gain the confidence to ask your prince charming to dance!”

I look at her, completely deadpanned, only able to sigh and shake my head before standing up and walking away, her laughter ringing in my ears. She follows behind me as I head back to the dance hall. At the entrance, we spot Seulgi and Lucas looking at us while they stand in line to vote for Winter Ball Court.  

“Hi, you guys!” Seulgi greets.

“Hey, Seulgi!” Hyojin and I say together.  

“Did you guys already vote?” she asks us.

“Yeah, we voted when we got here,” Hyojin responds.  

Hyojin continues chatting with Seulgi. I stand off to the side, looking back and forth between Lucas’s profile and the floor. He keeps his focus straight ahead, pretending to ignore anything that isn’t directly in front of him.

Should I say something?

I see him shift his eyes to the side, looking at me while keeping his head facing forward. 

Uh… what do I say?!

Suddenly, he sticks his arm out to give me a hug.

“Hey!” he says.

Oh yeah… act like you just noticed me.

“Hi!”

“You look great!” he beams.

I feel my face getting hot and I become tongue tied.

Tell him he looks nice too!

“Thanks!” I say, unable to form any more words. I place a hand on his back and the other on his abdomen to return the side hug.

That wasn’t what you wanted to say…

“Hey, Hyojin!” Lucas greets.

“Hey! You look really nice, Lucas!” she says.

“Thanks!”

“Did you guys dance?” Seulgi asks.

“Yeah! I’m really bad at dancing though,” I admit. “But Hyojin – sometimes I look at her and I’m like, ‘How do you do that?!’”

“Yeah, I saw you! You’re a really good dancer!” Seulgi exclaims.

“Thank you!”

There’s a short pause as we all smile at each other. I suddenly feel a hand gently rest on my shoulder.

“Hey, I’ve been obsessed with that song you showed me.”

My eyes meet Lucas’s smiling face and I attempt to smile back through my nervousness.  

“Oh! Nice! It’s really good, right?!”

A few days earlier, I texted Lucas a song that I thought he would like: “Call You Mine” by Jooyoung.  

“Yeah! It’s so good!” he remarks.

My nervousness gets the best of me and I’m at a loss of what else to say. Time to leave.

“All right, well, we’re gonna go back to dancing,” I say. “We’ll see you later.”

“Okay, bye!” Seulgi calls.

“I guess I’ll see you later,” Lucas says.

I give a small smile and nod before Hyojin and I walk away from them. She nudges my side.

“Ooh, he’s obsessed with that song you showed him,” she teases.

“Shut up.”

We rejoin our group as salsa music starts playing over the speaker. Hyojin easily grooves to the music, stepping side to side effortlessly.

“Teach me! Teach me!” Hana calls, running up to Hyojin.

“Me too!” Yeri chimes.

The six of us form a small circle on the side of the dance floor, placing our arms behind each other’s backs as we had during our group slow dance. We attempt to imitate Hyojin’s movements, somehow managing to stay in sync. I look around the room, seeing Seulgi and Lucas at the back of the dance floor again, dancing with their group of friends.  

Okay good, he’s not watching.

Returning my attention back to the group, I lose track of my steps and end up out of sync from the rest of my friends. Even though I try to focus, I end up overthinking each step such that they appear awkward and unnatural. I frown, but the dance isn’t really my priority.

When the song ends, our principal appears at the front of the stage.

“Hello everyone! How is everybody doing tonight?!” she calls into the mic.

Cheers erupt from every part of the room. Everyone slowly starts to make their way to the sides of the dance floor, forming a small aisle leading to the stage. My friends move closer to the front of the stage, behind a majority of the crowd.

“Wonderful! All right, it’s now time to announce the nominees for Winter Ball Court! Let’s all give a hand to Cho Seunghwan and Kim Jihyun!”

More cheers and clapping continue as the nominees walk down the aisle. I step away from my friends, my body feeling heavy and tired from being on my feet all night. Uninterested in the commotion, I make my way over to one of the small tables on the side of the dance floor. I lean one arm on the table and stare into the dimly lit room, only able to see brief flashes of each nominee’s face between everyone’s silhouettes as they walk past. Eventually, I turn away from the crowd and focus my attention on the glittering chandelier in the lobby just outside the entrance. My view is suddenly blocked when Lucas appears in front of me, also choosing to lean against the table.  

“Hey! I saw you guys! You did good!” he commends, putting his hand up for a high-five.

Shit, he saw me.

I put my hand up to return his high-five, mumbling a quiet thanks and keeping my gaze on his shoulder to avoid making eye contact with him. An overwhelming sense of embarrassment and shyness fills me.  

Hopefully he wasn’t paying too much attention to how I clearly can’t dance.

I turn my head back towards the dance floor, watching all of the nominees again.

“Hey! Let’s get closer so we can see!” Lucas says to Seulgi and Sicheng as he walks towards the center to stand beside them.

God, I looked so stupid and he just had to see me.

My eyes widen at the sudden realization and I slowly turn my head to look over at the spot twenty feet away where Lucas was with his group.

Wait a second… he saw me? But he was over… there…

I’m pulled away from my thoughts when I spot my friends standing away from the crowd, mostly chatting amongst themselves. I join them, silently watching and waiting for our principal to announce the King and Queen.

“And the Winter Ball King and Queen are…”

I search the crowd for Lucas again, barely able to spot the top of his head. The room is silent except for some chatter coming from the lobby. I feel a sudden emptiness next to me and realize that my friends had moved further back towards the table I was just leaning against. A few feet away from them, I notice that Seulgi had walked away from the crowd and sat down on the floor next to one of the tables.  

“…Qian Kun and Kim Sooyoung!”

Cheers and clapping fill the room as Kun and Sooyoung are each given a crown and a sash saying, “Winter Ball Court 2015.”

“All right, everyone. We will now have our 2015 Winter Ball Court start us off for the traditional slow dance!”

The initial aisle that had been formed slowly morphs into a large circle as people move to allow the winners to start the slow dance. Hunter Hayes’ “Wanted” plays over the speakers.  

“Oh my God, they play this at every dance,” I groan as I walk over to my friends.

“I know!” Hana responds.

I actually like the song. But it’s true, they play it at nearly every dance we have. I decide to make light of it and join Hana in a dramatic serenade to Hyojin.

“Cause everything that don’t make sense about me… makes sense when I’m with you!” we sing to her.

Hyojin rolls her eyes and laughs. Hana steps away from Hyojin and joins Yeri in a playful tango. My smile fades quickly when I turn my head to the right and briefly make eye contact with Lucas just as he looks away.  

“Seulgi!” he calls.

Well so much for that.

“Seulgi! Come on!” he continues.

I return my attention back to my friends and remembering our silly slow dance from earlier, I begin to take steps backwards onto the dance floor, trying to signal to them to join me.          

“And everything that’s green girl, it needs you!” I sing to them.

At that point, I had distanced myself several feet away from them, but no one was looking at me.  

Hello? You coming?

They remain in their same spot near the tables. Hana and Yeri continue their tango with the rest of our group laughing at them.  

“Seulgi! Get up!”

“No!”

I look over at Seulgi to see her in the same position on the ground with Lucas pulling her by her arms, attempting to make her stand up and dance with him. My forehead creases and my expression turns to one of confusion.

What is she doing? Why won’t she get up?

“Get up!”

“No!”

I shake my head and sigh before turning away, looking expectantly at my friends. To my disappointment, they remain engrossed in their over exaggerated singing and dancing with each other, ignoring everything else. I sigh again and just as I turn back to look at Lucas, our eyes lock as he spins around to face me. We stare at each other, our expressions emotionless.

Um…

I raise both of my eyebrows as a form of acknowledgement, though a look of concern quickly washes over my face. He remains still.

With a feeling of shyness overcoming me again, I look to my friends, gently smiling at their laughter and playfulness. They truly had no idea what was happening six feet away from them. I quickly turn back to Lucas, locking eyes with him again.

What is he doing?

I blink.

And then a realization hits me.  

Uh oh, he’s going to ask you to dance.

As if he decided to bite the bullet, he shakes his head and lets out a breath. “Fuck it,” he mutters to himself before making a beeline straight towards me.

My mind draws a blank as I shift my eyes to the floor, remaining stationary. He stops in front of me, gently slipping his hand into mine. I feel his eyes intently watching my face, studying my expression for any hint of objection. My body remains frozen and I’m unable to lift my head to make eye contact with him. All I can do is continue to fixate on the spot on the floor.  

After a moment, he gently leads me towards the front of the dance floor. I stare at our intertwined hands.

Well this wasn’t supposed to happen in real life.

He stops near the front of the stage and turns around to face me, wrapping his arms around my waist and clasping his hands together on my lower back. I put my arms on his shoulders, but still can’t bring myself to look at him, choosing instead to stare at his bow tie.    

Don’t look at him. Just don’t look at him. Oh my God, what is happening?

“Put your arms around my neck.”

What?

“What?” I ask, knowing perfectly well what he just said.

“Put your arms around my neck,” he says again.

I manage to turn my head several degrees and stare at my left arm, slowly moving it behind his neck. My right arm, seemingly unable to function properly, remains on his shoulder in its original position. My eyes widen in surprise, realizing that putting my arm around his neck causes me to take a step closer to him, leaving but a mere inch between our bodies.

Without thinking, I place my head against his chest.

“Yeah, like that,” he says softly.  

He gently guides me, taking small steps, rotating us in a small circle.

“Have you ever slow danced?” he asks.

“Uh… no…” I stutter. 

At least now he knows why I seem like I don’t know what I’m doing.  

He smells nice.

“You smell really good,” I say, in a flux.

He lowers his ear closer to my face. “What?”

I chuckle nervously and attempt to raise my voice to be heard over the music. “You smell really nice.”

“Aww,” he coos.

Smooth, Y/N, smooth.

After several moments, he begins to speak again.

“Hey, did you know that ‘Call You Mine’ song is actually a cover?”  

“No, I didn’t.”

“Did you go to Winter Ball last year?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

Why are you asking so many questions?

I blink several times, unable to form a proper thought. “I don’t know…”

We continue our rotations with him occasionally giving me reassurance that I was doing well.

“You’re doing good!”

I remain silent, still in disbelief that this was even happening. I’ve lost most of my ability to have any coherent thoughts, choosing instead to enjoy the dreamlike moment –  it was truly unexpected.

I smile when he turns us and I catch my friends’ frequent glances; they’re giggling and whispering amongst one another.

Doyoung suddenly moves into my line of sight.

Is that…?

He and Heejin are holding each other in the traditional ballroom dance position, smiling and singing to each other as they dance amongst the other couples.

He’s slow dancing with Heejin?

“So this is slow dancing…” Lucas murmurs, interrupting my thoughts.

I smile, attempting to stifle a laugh of amusement. Shh, Lucas, stop talking.  

“Yeah, I kind of figured…”

“What?” he asks, lowering his head.

“I kind of figured,” I say again with a chuckle.  

We’re so close to each other.

This is nice.

I like being here.  

I feel safe.

Unfortunately, I’m not always graceful. My eyes widen when my foot slips and I nearly stumble, my thigh brushing against his lower body.

Shit. Don’t do that.

He removes one of his hands from my waist to readjust his glasses. Without regaining control, my foot slips again and my thigh brushes against the same spot.

Fuck! You just did it again! The first time is an accident, but the second time isn’t an accident! Which then makes the first time not an accident!

I quickly move my foot back in place, mentally cursing myself again.  

Just enjoy this, you’ll be fine. It pretty much doesn’t get better than this.

It’s hard to comprehend what’s really happening. This was only supposed to happen in a fantasy and somehow, it’s happening in real time. Yet, it’s even more direct and shocking that what I had imagined for myself.

My first slow dance is with the first guy I’ve really ever liked.

The song ends and we release each other. I remain facing the front of the stage as Lucas walks around me, choosing to stand behind me.  

“Aww…” he remarks, almost sounding disappointed that the dance ended. 

I spin around to meet Lucas’s smiling face. Slightly embarrassed and still in shock, I attempt to return a small smile. We continue like this for several moments before he begins to compliment me.

“You did good!”

“Thanks…” I mumble.

He put his hand up for a high-five for the second time that night.

Seriously? Another high-five? After that?

I gently press my palm against his, letting my hand linger longer than a standard high-five. He puts his arm around me for a small hug that I quickly return.

That’s better.

“I’m going to go find Yang Yang and Sicheng,” he says, turning away from me.

“What?” I call after him.

Don’t go.

He turns around to face me again, lightly placing his hand on my bare shoulder.

“I’m going to go find Yang Yang and Sicheng,” he repeats.

“Oh, okay!” I say, trying to avoid sounding disappointed.

I watch him as he walks over to Yang Yang and Sicheng who were making their way back onto the dance floor. Stunned, I slowly return to Hana, Seungwan, Hyojin, and Yeri who start grabbing onto my arms and squealing in excitement. I filter them out, closely watching Lucas talking to his friends, but quickly look away when Lucas glances at me.  

“You guys were so cute together!” Hyojin exclaims.

I gawk at her, my ability to speak still absent. A new song starts to play and my friends start dancing to the music again. I figure that I ought to at least try to act like everything is normal and that I didn’t just get completely swept off my feet by Lucas Wong. My natural state was emotionless – I wasn’t keen on having people know what I was feeling at any given time and particularly now, I didn’t want it to be so obvious to everyone that may have seen us that Lucas clearly has an effect on me. But I knew I was failing miserably.

Honestly, this whole dance was just a series of endless opportunities for me to make a fool out of myself when attempting to dance with my friends because if it wasn’t clear, I can’t dance. And especially now, I can’t concentrate on anything except for the event that just took place.

Doyoung rejoins us after a short moment and accompanies Hana and Hyojin in another salsa-type dance.  

Throughout the rest of the night, I notice Lucas frequently take quick glances at me. I watch him dance with Yang Yang, Sicheng, and Seulgi, the latter who had finally joined them again after her bout of stubbornness.

I don’t get it. What was that?

Feeling confused and distracted by Lucas’s actions, I suddenly stop dancing and stand motionless.  

“I’m getting kind of tired,” I say to Hyojin.  

“Really? The dance is almost over,” she replies.

My feet are tired from wearing heels all night and continuing anything else physical feels tedious. I’m not in the right head space anyway, as the dance truly is the least of my concerns at the present moment. I know I’ve said that since the beginning, but it really couldn’t be more accurate now – my expectations constantly being exceeded and reevaluated every hour.

“I’m going to go stand over there,” I say, gesturing over to a table I had leaned against earlier. Hyojin joins me a short time later.  

The dance music transitions to One Direction’s “Little Things.”

“All right, everyone, this is our last dance of the night! Thank you!” the DJ calls into the microphone.

My heart leaps as I frantically scan the crowd, searching for Lucas in hope of another dance.  

Will he come over to me again?

I spot him ten feet away as he steps to the side, looking through the heads in the crowd in an attempt to find me. We make eye contact right as Seulgi turns around and throws her arms around his neck.

Goddammit, Seulgi. You didn’t want to dance with him before and now you want to?  

I sigh and try to avoid blatantly sulking, but I can’t help but divert my gaze to the ground, feeling my heart sink.

“Did you see that?” Hyojin asks.

“See what?”

“He just looked at you like he was going to come over here!”

“Yeah…”

“But then Seulgi grabbed him,” she says bitterly.

“Let’s go…” I say to her, my disappointment nearly becoming palpable.  

Well this sucks. But I guess I got the one dance I wanted. That’s more than I really could have wished for.  

Seungwan is already sitting down at the table when Hyojin and I walk over.  

“You didn’t want to ask Doyoung to dance?” I ask Seungwan.

“I thought about it,” she says solemnly, “but I decided not to.”

“Was he dancing with Heejin?”  

“Yeah…”

My eyebrow raises in curiosity. 

That’s odd…

“Did he ask her?” I ask.

“No, she came over to him and grabbed his hand.”

Huh.  

“Oh, so she likes him,” I say matter-of-factly.

She sighs. “I guess…”

We sit there for the remainder of the song, my eyes occasionally wandering over to the dance floor, trying to make out the identities of the dark figures.  

“Hey, guys! Let’s take a picture!” Hyojin calls.  

“Do you want me to take the picture for you guys?”

We all turn to see Heejin standing next to our table.

When did she get here?

“Sure!” Doyoung says and hands her his phone.  

Hana, Hyojin, Doyoung, Seungwan, and I stand up and position ourselves to take several photos together. Heejin walks up to Doyoung to give him back his phone. She smiles, remarking on how well the photos turned out as Doyoung flips through them. I smirk, indulging in a private joke before turning my attention back to the dance floor when the lights come on.

She definitely likes him. I bet she wants a picture with him. Gosh, Doyoung, you’d have no problem finding girlfriend.

Everyone starts walking back to their tables to gather their belongings and leave. Goodbyes can be heard throughout the room as people exchange hugs and take quick photos to commemorate the night. I spot Lucas standing by himself at his table.

Hyojin nudges me. “You should go say goodbye.”

I cringe. “I’m scared!”

Should I go up to him? Oh hey, there’s –

“Seulgi!” I call, pretending to be excited to see her.

“Hey guys!” she greets with a smile.

From my periphery, I see Lucas look over at us. I feel my anxiety increase when he starts to walk over to stand next to Seulgi.

Oh no…

“Hey!”

“Hi!” I return nervously, avoiding eye contact.  

“You did great!” he says cheerfully.

Oh my God. Seulgi is right here and you’ve said that like twenty times already.

“Thanks…” I say hesitantly, staring at the space on the floor in between Seulgi and Lucas.

Lucas reaches over to give me a side hug.

“I’ll see you on Monday, okay?”

My body freezes and I suddenly want to scream at myself for making my reactions so indicative of the fact that I like Lucas. I avoid making eye contact with Seulgi even though I can feel her staring at me. I did not want her to know how I felt and I certainly didn’t care for her to have ill feelings towards me because she might think I’m trying to steal the guy she uses for attention - even though that’s exactly what I wanted to do. 

“Okay!” I say, breathlessly.

He releases me and the four of us exchange smiles before heading off in opposite directions.  

“Hey, do you guys wanna go get milkshakes?” Doyoung asks from behind us.

“Sure,” everyone says simultaneously.  

We walk to a restaurant downstairs and Doyoung, Hana, and Seungwan all order milkshakes. The events of tonight play like a broken record in my head, leaving me too stunned to have much of an appetite. My fatigue is fighting against my shock, increasing my mental exhaustion. The girls stare at me, smug looks on all of their faces. Doyoung checks his phone, flipping through our group photos, oblivious to the amusement being exchanged over the table. 

My phone buzzes and I check it to see a text from Hyojin.

Hyojin [10:48 PM] He definitely looked at you right before that last dance. There’s no way he doesn’t like you.

Logic told me that Hyojin was likely right. However, my emotions never failed to supply the doubt. Oh well. This was an issue for tomorrow morning.        

I pull off my shoes in Doyoung’s car and I suddenly remember Seungwan’s comment about Heejin.  

“Well that was fun,” I remark.

“Yeah!”

“Did you dance with Heejin?” I ask, even though I already know the answer. I just want to hear it directly from him.

“Yeah.”

“Did you ask her?”

“No, she came over to me and grabbed my hand. I didn’t really want to, but she wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.”

I laugh. “You know that she likes you, right?”

He shrugs. “Whatever.”

When I arrive home, I go to my room to take off my sweater and remove all of the bobby pins from my hair before going into the kitchen to greet my dad.

“So how was it?” he asks.

“It was fun! But uh… something happened.”

“What?”

“Well… I slow danced with someone.”

“Who?”

“Uh, Lucas came up to me and grabbed my hand to dance. And I might have… I don’t know… brushed up against his pants several times.”

He bursts into laughter.

“This isn’t funny! I didn’t know what to do!” I say frantically.

“No, it’s pretty funny,” he says in between laughs.  

“You know, you really do look nice in that dress,” he says.

“I know! Kun and Lucas both complimented me!” I respond excitedly. “Actually, Kun did not hide the fact that he was checking me out.”

My dad and I have a very close relationship. Though it was weird to everyone else, I was very comfortable telling him about most things, including my boy problems.

“So what do you think about Lucas?” I ask.

“He probably has something for you. You don’t just do that if you don’t like the person.”

“You wouldn’t go up and grab someone to dance just because?”

“No, it’s scary! I wanted to ask one girl at a high school dance, but I chickened out. It’s very scary.”

“Yeah, he and I stood there staring at each other for a little while before he came up to me and grabbed my hand and pulled me away.”

“See, that’s very bold. That’s a gut reaction where you have to decide, ‘Okay! I’m going to do it!’”

Maybe he’ll ask me to prom.

“He kept glancing at me throughout the dance and then at the very end, they had the last slow dance and he stepped out to the side to look at me. But then Seulgi grabbed him and they danced together. Do you think he wanted to dance with me?”

“Probably.”

Stupid, Seulgi.

I fell asleep that night listening to “Wanted.”

Bad Girl Bonus: I’m Happy I Told Her

Three months later

Minseok POV

She is sitting at a small table on a patio outside one of the many cafes that line the street. Her smile glowing brighter than I have seen in so long, her eyes turn into crescent moons as that grin grows. A yellow sundress complements her tan skin so well, it’s as if the color was created just for her. Silver locks have been replaced by her natural curls dyed a sandy blonde.

Two friends sit across from her, the dark haired beauty is striking in a pale blue dress but no where near the beauty of Jooyoung. Than there is Zico, his hair is blond as well, he matches the friend, Jihyo, with a blue button up and grey slacks. They have all adjusted so quickly in their few months here.

Jooyoung attempts to order another round of drinks when Zico stops her, I’ve been spotted. He nods in my direction before offering a hand to Jihyo. She reluctantly takes it, giving her friend a few words and a smile of encouragement. They walk away, both giving me a warning glare.

That must be my queue.

I approach the table, her eyes find me and widen for a moment before a small smile spreads across her face, “Minseok.”

“Jooyoung.” I stand next to her, I can’t help myself but to reach out and cup her face, my thumbs gently stroke her cheeks. “I’ve missed you.”

“You are the one who said to wait. Did you do what you need to do?”

I nod, “I needed to keep my brothers from falling apart. As their brother I owed them that.”

She pulls away from my touch, “And now that you have done that, what is next? Are you going to go back to them?” There is hidden hostility in her voice, it makes me laugh. As if I would go back to them now that I have her all to myself.

I lean into her space a place a light kiss on her forehead, “Only if you send me back.” She lets me stay there, I breath in the slight coconut smell coming from her hair. My eyes close as I just enjoy the familiar feeling of her presence.

She is quite for a moment, “Did you tell them that you were coming to me?”

“I left them a note.”

“What did it say?”

I pull away slightly to look into those bright eyes of hers, “I told them to become better men so that they too can find a woman that they truly love. That honestly should come first and that too much control isn’t healthy. Then I wished them the same happiness that I am leaving to find.”

Her eyes glimmer so beautifully up at me I could stare into them forever. A small smile appears, “And did you find it?”

“Yes, I did.”

……..

Back in Korea

To my dear brothers,

I am sorry, I couldn’t keep doing this to her. I know we promised each other to not tell Jooyoung about Zico but she begged for me to and you all know how bad I am at telling her no. She left, and against my better judgement I am going with her. This is going to feel like a betrayal for awhile, I already know but I love Jooyoung more than anything. We all knew it would never workout for all of us but I am still sorry. I am sorry to Tao, Jongin, and Sehun for not having her stay long enough to say goodbye. She wanted to leave and I wasn’t going to stop her.

I want you all to know our love for her was toxic, we lost ourselves in our love for her and forced her to be something she is not. I am scared that I will not be able to provide for her like she needs without doing too much and suffocating her. We must all learn self control and balance with love. While I am practicing for myself, I hope you all are too. That way next time, you will be able to keep her. I am sorry for leaving you all, I know it is going to hurt but in the end it is going to be better for all of us.

Love your oldest Hyung

Sehun POV

How could he tell her?

There is stuff everywhere. Minseok’s room has been torn apart by all of us. I can’t look away from the note in my hands that Kris threw at me on his way out of the house. Tears were running down his burning red face. He came back already and is locked up in his room. They all are. Each dealing with this betrayal alone, unsure if we can trust one another. We trusted our brother, he seemed okay after our baby had left, he helped all of us deal with the loss of her again.

Now we know why. He is the reason she left. He knew she was going to leave. Then he left with her. How could he leave us?

I finally throw the paper alway to curl up on the floor, the emptiness in my chest grows bigger each hour I spend lying on his floor, not knowing if I should be angry or sad. Both feel terribly heavy, forcing me tighter into my ball. My hands are trembling as I cover my face, hiding myself from the world.

He wants us to be better? To be honest men? How could we with both of them gone? How could he be so selfish to leave us like this? How can he expect us to get better after this? All we know is darkness and betrayal.

Bad men like us don’t get better.

MGA5 CALLBACK PERFORMANCE Singing Let Me Love You Mashup by Kiana Lede ; ( 0:10 - 2:05 )

Honestly, if anybody ever told Seungmin he’d make it for the MGAs callback, he would’ve just laughed it off and acted like it was nothing. Of course, that was merely joking around. The fact that it became a reality was a little disconcerting. He received the notification of the next step via e-mail and he just couldn’t believe his eyes.

He had so many people to tell, but he didn’t want to jinx anything whatsoever so he kept it to himself. In this short time frame, Seungmin mentally prepared and practiced with his whole heart on the line. With the address given to them for the recording, Seungmin traveled to the location. Since Seungmin and Changbin are roommates, they decided to go together.

“Binnie… this is so crazy. I can’t believe we’re really doing this. Like actually doing the MGAs. It’s insane.” He held onto his roommate’s hand as he found their way to the studio where the recording would take place.

Immediately upon arrival, Seungmin ran into Jeongin and excitedly dragged him over to everyone else including Jisung and Chan which they sat amongst each other. “This is so nerve-wracking, Innie… I hope we do well today.” He gripped the younger’s hand and squeezed for a little bit of reassurance -- more for himself than anything.

Seungmin quietly watches as other contestants pile into the studio and find themselves a seat among the hundred of chairs available. He notices a presence next to him sit down but doesn’t make much of it. It’s not until the voice speaks up. “Man, I’m nervous, how about you?”

Seungmin doesn’t even think twice before an automatic reply leaves his mouth. “Ugh, honestly, same.” He pauses for another second before he turns his head and that’s when it hits him like a goddamn train by letting out an audible gasp. His brother with the widest shit-eating grin on his face looking at him. Staring at him. Sitting right next to him. His mouth hangs slightly open and Seungmin is just absolutely shocked that his eyes widen considerably.

“Why are you here? Does mom know you’re doing this?” He starts blinking rapidly because he’s just so confused. Why was his brother here of all places? At auditions for the MGAs? It’s shaking him a lot just to see the older.

Seungmin blinks and looks to the other side of Jooyoung and finds his cousin, Hyojin, sitting near them too. Wow, it’s like a family reunion. “H-hyojin hyung? You’re auditioning for the MGAs too?” Shaking his head, he turns back to Jooyoung.

“Hyung… since when did you even like to perform? Do you sing or something?” Seungmin’s expression of confusion and shock slowly leaves his face as it turns colder. “Why didn’t you tell me you were auditioning? Nevermind, it’s not like you tell me anything anyways.”

Seungmin bites out that last harsh statement before turning away. The awkward silence between them is almost unbearable and he feels bad so he sighs before uttering one last thing to Jooyoung. “Good luck…”

For the rest of the waiting time, Seungmin faces towards Jeongin and Jisung and smiles as much as he can in hopes they don’t ask him anything. It’s hard pretending but he can’t let his brother being here affect him and his performance.

Finally, after all the contestants are settled and nestled into their respective seats, they reveal the judges who turn out to be the 5 CEOs of the big companies out right now. Seungmin stared in awe and clapped on cue, of course. He’s not surprised to see them considering they were here last season, but it’s nice. Although, since they’re the judges for this, it makes the performances seem scarier than normal. Something about this either being his last performance on stage or the beginning really unsettled Seungmin’s stomach. Naturally, he tries to will the nervous feelings down but he can’t really help it.

After the hundred of them give their performances, the CEOs will convene together to discuss who moves on and who doesn’t. Seungmin’s afraid of not making it. He’s afraid that his friends will get to hop to the next level and he’ll be left behind. This was different from last year when he managed to score an audience pass to watch some performances for MGA4. He dreamt about standing on stage and now that it’s so close and within reach, he’ll do whatever it takes to make it.

Seungmin exhales deeply and unclenches the fists that rested on his lap. He couldn’t let this get to him. Not now of all days. He had to relax or else his downfall will come sooner than later. One by one, contestants will be called to stand on stage and perform in front of everyone. Thankfully, he’s not called first and he watches with rapt attention at each contestant’s performance. Some are really eye-catching for sure and some he was okay with. There wasn’t anybody truly bad. Not like he could judge anyways. His performance might not be the best either.

Up next is a girl that catches Seungmin’s immediate attention. She’s pretty and looks mean -- like she could step on you and you would end up apologizing for getting in her way. Da-dum, da-dum. Seungmin flushes and clears his throat to will away the brush. Goddamn, this wasn’t some dating show for goodness sake. He’s so enarmored already and watching her performance that Seungmin notices when she turns to face the other contestants. He swears she winked at him. Him of all people. Or at least in his general direction. Either way, Seungmin flushed again and tried to watch the rest of it without embarrassing himself.

A couple more people went and it finally became Seungmin’s turn. With a smile towards his friends, his feet brought him on stage before the judges or the CEOs rather. Being requested to introduce himself, Seungmin smiled politely as his eyes crinkled with mirth. Bowing towards them, he stood back up straight and beamed. 

“Hello and what’s up! I’m 18 year old Kim Seungmin from Seoul.” He points to his red hair and laughs. “Just like my red hair, I hope to show you all my firery passion on this very stage.”

He was ready to get into position until he heard some cheering and hooting from the contestant section and he knows Jooyoung’s voice more than anything and he flushed only slightly before trying to ignore it and focus on his performance.

With a nod of his head and the microphone in hand, he got into position. He quickly looked towards the direction of his friends briefly and wished they could hold his hand or something. He even glanced over at his brother, Jooyoung, and was surprised to see the older with the utmost attention on him. It made him feel shy but maybe just a tad braver. He wanted to show Jooyoung what he was capable of and what he had missed out on for the years he was gone.

Taking a deep breath again, Seungmin let the music filter in before lifting up the microphone to his lips and started singing.

I used to believe We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful Somethin' beautiful Sellin' a dream Smoke and mirrors keep us waiting on a miracle On a miracle Say, go through the darkest of days Heaven's a heartbreak away Never let me down, never let me down

It’s an English song because Seungmin feels very comfortable doing a cover like that. It’s actually a mashup of Justin Bieber’s Let Me Love you, Mario’s Let Me Love You and Ne-Yo’s Let Me Love You. Overall, it’s a slower mashup rendition of the three faster paced songs. But Seungmin likes to think that it matches quite nicely with a slower tempo. He’s not here to play any games.

Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah I won't give up, nah-nah-nah Let me love you Let me

Seungmin doesn’t move around much on stage. His performance wasn’t meant to be that flashy or showy. He wanted to showcase his vocals off more than anything.

Should let me love you Let me be the one to Give you everything you want and need The good love and protection Make me your selection Show you the way love's supposed to be

One hand on the mic and the other hand resting where his heart is and singing with his whole damn chest. Seungmin needed to bare everything out. In front of himself, his brother, his friends, the CEOs. He didn’t want to be that same shy boy who was terrified of standing on stage. He was different now. He knew he had what it took to be an MGA winner. He just had to make it.

Girl let me love you And I will love you Until you learn to love yourself Girl let me love you I know you are trouble Don't be afraid, girl let me help

Seungmin locked eyes with each and every CEO glancing at them briefly before looking elsewhere. Lifting his hand off his chest, he brought it up so he was holding the microphone with both hands.

Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way that you feel

Surprisingly enough, Seungmin’s voice is a lot more melodic and honey-like than he originally lets on. He looks like a handsome and dandy kind of boy but doesn’t seem like he offers much. But when he sings, it’s a different side of him that people ought to know and hear. He wants to let his voice be heard as much as possible.

Girl let me love you And I will love you Until you learn to love yourself Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah I won't give up, nah-nah-nah Let me love you

The end of the song slowed down once again but he sang in such a gently sweet voice that matched with the aesthetic of the song. Maybe his voice wasn’t as good as other people’s choices. It was slower and you had to really be able to command the attention of everyone in the room. He wanted that more than anything. When he sang the last line, Seungmin slowly let down the mic from his lips and exhaled out in relief that that part was over. It all rest in the CEOs hands now.

Quickly bowing profusely at the CEOs and thanking them for listening and watching his performance, Seungmin managed his way back to his seat. He grabbed onto Jisung’s hand first and squeezed tight before making it back to his seat. He shut his eyes closed and immediately his hand found Jeongin’s to hold in the meantime. It was certainly an experience and he couldn’t help it how his hands were shaking considerably now. He’s thankful to have stayed strong during his performance but now he could maybe breathe just a little more and get the jitters out of him.

❀ SURPRISE SKILL! RAP: gray ( ft. loco )’s just do it ( 0:10 — 1:08 ) an attempt

frankly, he’s not even sure if he wants to see the staff ever again after what he had just done 20 minutes ago. if this airs on national television, he’s going to go off the radar for the rest of his life for sure.

good grief, playing his own background music while mimicking a skit? this was a lot worse than it seemed in his head. thankfully, being with seunghun and sungwoon during the break was enough to ease his growing humiliation, and by the time the break was over, he was back to his normal, calm state.

of course, then they had to go and pull a fast one on him.

he had thought it was his own paranoia that led to another few sleepless nights of preparing another song, a rap one nevertheless, but something chewed away at him, making him wonder if they would ask him to do another skill that wasn’t his strongest. if he’s really unlucky, what if they only made him do that? the fact that he might not be able to sing ‘seattle’ made him uneasy, but he had little to no choice but to entertain his inner demons this time around, and began to mix another song for performing.

it was difficult for sure -- hyojins’ never quite rapped unless there was some kind of melody, and even then, it was more lyrical rap. he’s not going to be showing up on smtm anytime soon, nor is he planning to audition for anything like that. it just wasn’t really his thing. he wasn’t awful, per say, just not well-versed. and also desperately reliant on his impeccable sense of rhythm to carry him through verses. this is why he was a rnb soul or ballad type of guy.

but, oh well -- even dean raps too, after all.

he’s half shocked and half relieved when it’s announced that he now has a minute to do another skill, and wow he must be some kind of prophet. the happy grin that he sports as he nods makes it seem like he had wanted to rap, although he felt the opposite. his singing was something he would be willing to show on national television. the rapping? not so much.

even so, he can’t help but think he dodged a bullet with this one when they said to improvise. there was no way he could come up with a freestyle rap on the spot, or even the full lyrics of a rap song unless...well, unless it was ‘just do it.’

taking the mic with both hands from the staff, he shifts it around in his right hand with a quirk of his lips. raising it to his mouth, he tries his best to go for the hip hop swag that all the rappers online seemed to be obsessed with and took pride in, swaying his body and moving his hand up and down, as if trying to get a crowd to do the same.

if he had collected the remnants of his pride after the special skill segment, they were now thoroughly and completely decimated. rapping the hook at the start of the song, he tries to follow the melody to the best of his ability without fully singing, keeping beat with the original flow of the song. as he reaches the first verse, he starts to tread away from the melody, starting to rap to the best of his ( limited ) ability. he goes back to the tune once the bridge appears again, trying his best to have fun with it.

at this point, it looked more like he was having more fun than actually rapping with the same cool, widsom-filled vibe of gray when writing the song. it was about having a good time and living your life, after all. he figured he might as well look the part instead of getting caught up on the details. as he loosened up, his flow stabilized -- much to his own surprise -- and he actually sounded like he was rapping for a few lines, but the rest was a little...

either way, it was enough for him to want to lock it away deep inside in his memory and pretend it never happened. by the time he finishes, he’s bowing deeply with scarlet ears, eager to give back the microphone. it feels like he’s desecrated something about music, and that he should be banished forever from whatever musical endeavors he had previously participated in. god, if seunghun saw him do that, he wouldn’t even bear going to the studio they shared for months.

he’s silently begging to just go home in his head at this point; hyojin thinks that he might actually combust from a mixture of embarrassment and humiliation because of what he’s done today, a horrid combination that was barely balanced out by his satisfaction with the performance of his primary skill. even then...

hyojin has never been so happy to get back in the car after giving back his nametag, trying to distract himself the best he can by asking jooyoung how his audition went. he’s truly scared for what was going to show up on tv. 

if he’s lucky, he won’t be shamed across the whole nation.

TAKE ME AWAY | j.jaehyun

LET ME KNOW - series masterlist

previous → take me away → next

[9:01 am]: Sunlight breaks through the blinds, stirring Jaehyun awake. His head is throbbing. Something is stopping him from reaching up to grab his pounding head. He furrows his eyebrows in confusion.

This isn’t his room. This isn’t his bed. Suddenly, he’s wide awake. He looks to his left to see you fast asleep, hugging his arm. His panicked face softens and he uses his free hand to push a strand of hair away from your face. You’re sleeping peacefully.

And in an instant, he remembers all the memories from last night. He remembers hopping into Johnny’s car. He remembers pulling up at the bar. He remembers taking one, two, three, and many more shots. He remembers a woman trying to pull a move on him.

But what he remembers more is the reason why he decided to go out. He remembers having a phone call with you yesterday afternoon. He remembers hearing how happy and excited you were to go out on your first date with Jooyoung. He remembers trying to be happy for you. He remembers how hard it was to be happy for you.

He spots your dress and heels by the door. He sighs. Suddenly, your phone vibrates on the bedside table. He reaches out to grab it without waking you up. It’s a text from Jooyoung.

jooyoung (9:24 am):

good morning sunshine! is everything alright with you? whatever it is, i hope you’re okay.

it’s quite a bummer our date was cancelled

when did you want to resched? i saw this nice diner on the drive to my shift this morning. we could check it out!

“Someone looks gloomy on this sunny morning.”

Jaehyun glares at Johnny. Johnny raises his hands up in defense. “I’m not in a good mood.”

“Look, you’re lucky I even considered picking you up from Y/N’s place after picking up my car from the bar’s parking lot.” Johnny frowns. “Did you not wake up on the right side of the bed this morning?”

“Just take me home.” He mutters.

“Does Y/N know that you’ve left? Did you say goodbye to her?”

“Just take me away.” Jaehyun groans. “She’s still asleep. My head hurts. I can’t think straight.”

Johnny’s taken aback by Jaehyun’s petty attitude. He decides to keep silent and drive Jaehyun home. As Johnny pulls up to Jaehyun’s driveway, he parks the car. Jaehyun unlocks the doors and Johnny immediately locks them. Jaehyun turns around and squints his eyes at him.

“You know, the least you could do for Y/N was to thank her for driving us home.” Johnny folds his arms.

“I’ll thank her when she wakes up.” Jaehyun waves it off and unlocks the door.

“She wasn’t even in a good mood to pick us up after her date was cancelled.” Johnny adds. “Jooyoung stood her up.”

Jaehyun freezes in his spot. He looks over his shoulder. “I know that her date was cancelled. But Jooyoung stood her up? I don’t think he did.”

“What?” Johnny asks confusedly. “Y/N told me last night that it was cancelled because he stood her up. He was a no-show.”

“He texted her this morning about when their date will happen. I’m sure he showed up or was bound to show up, unless the date was cancelled—” Jaehyun explains, before gobbling up his words.

The two of them stare at each other with the same look.

“Y/N cancelled her date for you, Jaehyun.”

“Y/N cancelled her date for us. Wait—what?”

Johnny frowns.

“I think there’s something you should know, Jaehyun.”

You wake up alone. Jaehyun seems to have already left. As you rub the sleep from your eyes, your phone buzzes.

jaehyun (11:03 am):

thanks for what you did last night, i owe you one

i’m taking you out tomorrow.

wear something nice
