“goodnight! i miss you, see you tomorrow.” “i’ll be there soon. go to sleep now,” he says. you quickly place your phone on your nightstand, and drifted to sleep, excited to finally see him again after a long time.

you suddenly woke up after a loud crash. you checked the time, 10:15 pm, and went out of your room to check what happened.

october 13, 2018.

10:15 pm.

“hi babe, i’m home!” “how was your day?” you ask as you wrap your arms around him. “it was tiring, but we finished a lot of things. i might get a week off if we finish by tomorrow.” “that’s nice. i’m so proud of you jae” he places his thumb on your cheek, and pulls you closer to him. “i love you,” and before you could respond, jaehyun kisses you passionately.

october 13, 2019.

you haven’t responded to any of my messages?

are you okay?

please reply to me.

are you almost home?

baby, it’s almost 10 pm

you were starting to worry. jaehyun was supposed to be home by this time. where was he? you were about to cry until you heard a familiar ringtone. you quickly picked it up, and the first thing you heard was a car horn sound. “hi babe, i’m coming home now. wait for me?” “you scared me, jae. why weren’t you answering your phone?” “i only had the chance to charge my phone in the car, i’m sorry. everything’s alright.” “okay, come home safely. i have something to tell you.” you say with relief. “i’m almost home. i love you,” he says as he ends the call.

“i’m pregnant,” you tell him when he greets you at the door. he looks at you, wide-eyed, a smile creeping in his face. “you’re not joking?” you shake your head, and he lifts you up and hugs you. you sleep that night with jaehyun chanting ‘i love you’ to you repeatedly.

october 13, 2014.

its times like this, i wish i had a time machine

you heard sounds coming from the living room, and you slowly took a peek inside— you shouldn’t have. you saw him with another woman. they were trying to suppress the sounds they were making. you hear him faintly say “i love you,” so you quickly ran to your room.

the last thing you heard that night was your sobs and his ‘i love you’ to another woman.

october 13, 2020.

10:15 pm

“yeah, i love you too,” you faintly hear jaehyun say as you go down the stairs. you were about to cry— you were going to cry. “jae, what the fuck! who was that?” you scream, trying to stop your tears from falling. “y/n, what? quiet down, jaewon might wake up.” he says as he lets his phone fall to his feet, startled by your voice. “who was that?” you say quietly, realizing that your child might hear you, now letting your tears fall to your cheeks. “my mom. it was my mom, y/n,” he says, and you just stare at him— not knowing what to do, what to believe. him or your thoughts. he’s saying i love you to another woman. “check my phone then,” he says, handing his phone. you should just trust him. trust him. for fuck’s sake, just trust him. you grab his phone, and just like he said, it was his mom. you check every app he has, and there are no signs of another woman. stupid girl. “i’m doing my best, y/n. i don’t know what to do to gain your full trust after all these years.” he says, so gently, that it makes you cry even more. “i know jae, i’m sorry. i’m just scared,” you tell him. “you need to trust me babe,” he says as he pulls you closer to him, hugging you tightly. “i’m scared you’ll find someone else, and replace us,” you whisper in his chest. “babe, i’m not him. i’m not leaving you and jaewon.”

october 13, 2015.

“i’m sorry.” your father says. “one year too late. don’t say sorry now,” you tell him. “i love y-“ “if you did, you wouldn’t leave us. you wouldn’t cheat on mom,” you say, feeling the tears on your eyes. “mom might have forgiven you, but i don’t, and i don’t think i ever will.”

october 13, 2021.

“y/n, your father has been waiting for you,” your mom says, giving you small smile. you will never understand how fast your mom forgave him. “it will be alright, come on,” jaehyun reassures you, as he carries jaewon in his arms. you enter the room, and see your father laying on the bed— weak and fragile.

you feel your eyes watering as you sat down beside him. jaehyun looks at you, and you gave him a sign to leave you two alone for a while. “you sure?” he asks, rubbing your back. you nod, and looked at your son. “go buy some candy with your father, yeah?” jaewon smiles, and jaehyun quickly gives you a peck on your cheek.

you looked at your father, and when you see him give you a faint smile, you quickly looked away. “hi y/n. how are you?” he asks. “what a beautiful family you have,” he comments, and you try your best not to scoff at him. be kind, you remind yourself. “how are you feeling?” “i’m good. i’m glad you came, i have been waiting for you.” it was silent for a while. you couldn’t find the courage to talk to him. “i miss you so much. i love you, you know that right?”

this was your father. the man who you grew up with treating you like a princess. the man you had so much good memories with. the person who you first told everything to. you didn’t even go to your mom first— it has always been him, your dad. the person who would do anything for you. the man you first loved. who would have thought he would also be the first to break your heart.

“god, i love you so much, but—”

but you’re such a dipshit.

thanks to you i can't love right

i get nice guys and villainize them

i blame you for every worst that i assume

he tries to hold your hand, and you let him as tears fall from your face. despite everything happening, you still can’t find the courage to look at him.

please fucking fix this cause you were all i looked up to, now i can't even look at you.

yea smut is fun and all that but i really like reading fics where both characters start developing feelings for each other, fics that actually have a story behind to tell and narrate perfectly, i pay attention to all the details, so fics where just smut starts after the third paragraph get boring at some point 😭 at least for me

so if anyone knows any jaehyun, haechan or jungkook fanfic where it’s perfectly written and not just a 10 paragraph smut pls let me know lolol

I’m addictive to two things; coffee and you

jaehyuns pov:

i hated seeing her with him. the thought of seeing her happier with someone who isn’t me makes me hurt. the way i have lost her touch makes me weak. the way i can’t hold her in my arms when she cries in her sleep. the way i can’t kiss her goodbye when we leave to our classes in the morning. the way i can’t love her like there is no tomorrow. i miss her. i miss everything about her. her honey brown curls and that honey skin. the freckles on her nose and the beauty mark on her right cheek. everything is his now. all of her love is to him.

y/n and i broke up 6 months ago in mutual terms. it was the definition of right person wrong time but she doesn’t believe that. she thinks mingyu is everything when he isn’t and i know how he plays. see me and mingyu and his friends were on really good terms last year but i saw how they played their women and i was not okay with that. ever since then we all started to hate each other.

y/ns pov:

i missed jaehyun. i missed him a lot. but i was scared to leave mingyu and potentially leave for my ex who doesn’t want me anymore. when i left jaehyun i went to mingyu for emotional support. i don’t really love him- matter a fact we never said our “ i love you’s “ yet. he just isn’t the one for me. jaehyun was my ride or die, my everything but we couldn’t make it. we were too different for each other. we didn’t have the same interest or the same views on things which is what made is argue 24/7 yet... we still loved each other.

i don’t think i could ever loose my love for him. he is too pure and too good for me. he had said it was just “ right person wrong time “ but i didn’t believe that until now. i didn’t realize how miserable my life was without him. i thought maybe mingyu would be my cup of tea. we like to party, have fun, live life- unlike jaehyun who is more conservative, stay home, study, watch movies and cuddle. even though he is a professional basketball player, that doesn’t make him a frat boy. he could care less about basketball. but thats what i needed.

i needed that pureness again. i needed someone who actually cares and doesn’t ditch hanging out with me for frat parties. it hurts seeing jaehyun look miserable because i moved on to someone i didn’t care for. i just thought me and jae weren’t meant to be..

marks pov:

as y/n’s best friend i try to keep her protected and safe at all times. i try to make sure she is stable and not hurting inside- but ever since her breakup with jaehyun it has not only been rough for her but for him too. when y/n moved on to mingyu , that was a very big mistake on her half . she went to someone who didn’t give two craps about her and just dated her for laughs and giggles and to prove jaehyun wrong. mingyu wanted to make a point to jaehyun that he can snatch whoever and whatever he wanted from him- regardless y/n asked out mingyu.. that’s one thing he took from jaehyun. mingyu didn’t want to give up that chance.

mingyu and y/n is quite the couple. they aren’t a passionate or real to or for each other. they don’t actually love one another , it’s basically just a toxic game waiting to end. they absolutely hate each other as well. y/n speaks so bad of mingyu like her life depends on it but i don’t blame her. mingyu does the same thing though ( according to the fishes in the sea ) . y/n thought that just because they were the total opposites that meant they weren’t right for each other when in reality that makes them complete . when y/n texted me about mingyu i wasn’t surprised but when she mentioned her missing jaehyun... that was a turn i wasn’t ready for.

——————————————————————————

y/n’s pov:

i was laying in bed reading my book, trying to get away from my emotions and confused feelings when i suddenly get a text. “ hmm, heard you missed me 😳 “ it read. i was shocked - i didn’t realize i still had his number nor was i expecting a text from him. i assume maybe mark told him about what i said since they are best friends because i mean how else would he know. i panicked a little since we haven’t talked in 6 months rather than everyday. i did miss him as we know and i do want him but i am just so confused.

i didn’t answer immediately. i waited maybe 15 minutes to answer because i didn’t want to seem like i needed him at that second. something in me was kind of excited but also scared.

i told him to meet me at the ddong cafe at 2 pm. i wanted to talk to him and catch up. i wanted to tell him how much i missed him even though that maybe a mistake on my end but i need him to hear it. i say it maybe a mistake because of how i feel. i am scared that i will let him down again. even though we broke up on mutual terms we cut it off for each other. we put up with a fight everyday and it wasn’t healthy for us. i don’t want it to be like how it was before.

it was 1:23 pm when i started getting ready. jaehyun and mark have their last period together that ends around 1:30 today. i got up and took a quick shower then put on a pair of black biker shorts with a white graphic tee, paired with my white air force 1’s. i left my curly hair out and added a blue headband. i grabbed my purse and left to go see the one and only jaehyun.

when i arrived to the tiny cafe, it was decorated so beautifully. i didn’t even realize that jaehyun was already there sitting at a table staring at me. we looked in each others eyes for a good five minutes. with those brown chocolate eyes those plump lips , i was aching for him. he had his hair pulled back with a beige hat on with a plain white shirt and black dress pants on it looked like. he looked so hunky and i loved it.

i then get out of my thoughts and finally walk over to him. i started to get real nervous and i could tell he was too. i can read him like a book. those pretty thoughts are pretty nervous now. i break the awkwardness and hugged him and he hugged back. this was such a relieving feeling. i felt so relaxed and at piece. he made me feel so secure and safe at this very moment. when i am with mingyu it feels more like a chore. more like a playdate but with jaehyun it is so much more despite the differences.

jaehyuns pov:

when i saw y/n she looked absolutely stunning. beautiful as ever. it sucks that i have to look at her from afar because she is my everything. i could see in her eyes that she needed comfort- she was dull and looked so miserable. when she hugged me i didn’t expect that at all. it was a very cold-sharp hug. she needed warmth. she needed someone who she could call home. she needed someone who could make her smile and fill her up with all the happiness in the world. she needed a home. she didn’t have that with mingyu and to be honest i don’t think she ever will.

when she pulled away from the hug and said “ i’m sorry “ and started to shed tears. i wanted to kiss her and tell her that i have her forever and ever but i didn’t want to overstep my boundaries especially because she still is with the kim mingyu. i just hugged her so tight. i couldn’t even speak even if i wanted too. i wanted to take in everything.

we sat down and took our usual orders. “ so how have you been y/n “ i ask. she looked at me with a “ you should already know i am going through hell “ type of look. i already knew she wasn’t happy in their relationship. the way mingyu talks about her is ridiculous but i never wanted to say anything plus i am sure she knows already. she probably got it through her head that mingyu is trash. “ my relationship is throwing me off guard and messing with me mentally but- i am trying to fix myself “ she says. i gave a little chuckle and smile to brighten the mood. “ i just want you to know that you are too good for him. you know that. don’t let a jerk like him mess with your head. mark has told me about his ways and how he plays you like a book. “

y/n’s pov:

he was so right and i hated it. if only he knew how much i wanted him. we start chatting about our lives and how our professors are asses. it felt so nice to have a normal and civilized conversation with someone. it’s something i don’t get everyday and i needed it. the way he smiles from ear to ear everytime i laugh at his corny jokes and ask about basketball makes me so happy. “ i heard you won your last tournament hm “ i say. “ yeah i am still so psyched about that. i trained so hard to make those shots haha “ he said. i made a slight smile. “ i wish you were there to cheer me on “ he says. i knew that was coming.

——————————————————————————

mingyu’s pov:

i was about to head to my car to pick up seokmin and jungkook when jungkook shot me a text to look at my instagram. i open it to seeing y/n with jaehyun. i am not gonna lie it made me furious to see my girlfriend with her ex knowing they still love each other. i never got mad at any of my girlfriends for being with another guy- especially with the reputation i have i shouldn’t be mad. something about y/n drives me insane and i don’t know how to describe it nor feel. i feel bad because i treat her like shit and she thinks i don’t like her when really i am in love with her.

i act like an ass because i never felt this way about someone. when we went to our first frat party as a couple it was a sight i never saw of her before. she looks so innocent on the outside but when you get to know her and see her in a free state it makes you so crazy. the only people who knows about my crush on y/n are my friends because lets be honest here- who would think that kim mingyu has a LEGITIMATE crush?! i barley believe it.

it sucks because i know she doesn’t love me. i know she’s with me to get over her ex but it’s nothing that i’ve never done before...now i know the feeling. i can’t bring myself up to tell her i like her because she’s gonna think i am a fool or drunk when these are really my true feelings. it sucks being a jock sometimes. i let my thoughts go in the back of my brain so i can enjoy my night but i couldn’t. all i could think about was y/n possible leaving me for jaehyun.

——————————————————————————

jaehyuns pov:

going up to the school building, i see mingyu walking with his friends jungkook and seokmin. as we made eye contact he did a handshake with his friends and walked over my way. i was confused but scared because i didn’t know what he was going to say to me- especially since i am y/ns ex. he came up to me with a somewhat preppy face which confused me even more. “ whats up jaehyun ! “ mingyu says. “ uhh hey? “ i say in a confused tone. “ look i gotta question, i don’t do this often but how do i get closer to y/n ? “ he says. i was in shock- not once has mingyu ever wanted to get close with someone before. this makes second guess my relationship with y/n..maybe i won’t be with her again.

i take the offer anyways and help mingyu out. this honestly came by surprise and this will of coarse break me. seeing them date is already enough even if it isn’t real love. me and mingyu start talking about y/n and he threw everything at me. he named such amazing things about her but they were things everyone knows of. he doesn’t know the intricate stuff- the little things. that’s what matters the most to me.

mingyus pov:

i texted y/n thinking she would respond nicely, but i forgot i ditched her the other day. so obviously she was upset when i texted her about wanting to talk. i wanna tell her that i love her because that’s what jaehyun said i was feeling. it felt weird going to jaehyun since that’s her ex and he’s clearly in love with her still.

now i know j am just wasting her time but i really want to be with her. she thinks i am a joke and i am but i really do love her. i just know she doesn’t love me and it kills me.

y/ns pov:

——————————————————————————

y/ns pov:

as i am walking to the local cafe i spot a familiar face. jaehyun.. ofc. i continue walking, pretending to not see him- hoping he doesn’t see me. i have been thinking long and hard last night about my love decisions. don’t get me wrong, mingyu is very cute but i don’t think he wants my time. when me and jaehyun hung out again it was like we were dating again- it felt surreal. when mark asked me if i loved mingyu or not i started to think a little bit. like i said before he is cute but he was more like a rebound rather than a real boyfriend and i am sure he thinks the same. as i was thinking i ran into someone...of course it was jaehyun. u honestly didn’t want to run into him again since i am confused.

“ hey y/n , i didn’t expect to see you “ he said.

“ yeah same haha “ i say. i didn’t know what to say for some reason. i was trying to come up with an excuse to leave in my head but i couldn’t think of anything. my mind was just blank. just at the wrong but right time mingyu calls me. he sounded like he was crying. i look at jaehyun with a i have to go look and he understood so i walked away with a relief. i then drove back to me and mingyus room to see what was going on.

i walk up to the apartment to see mingyu sobbing with seokmin basically holding him. “y/n “ seokmin says. “ come here “ he says in a concerned voice. he walks me to the hallway and tells me that mingyu is having trouble with his feelings. “ y/n i think mingyu is in love with you.. when you didn’t respond it made him think you are going to leave him “. i was in shock. i didn’t think it was true to be honest and i forgot to respond by accident i swear. “ shit “ i mumble. “ i really don’t know what to say, i really didn’t mean to not respond i was just confused in my head. i didn’t think he actually loved me.. “ i say. “ y/n he never loved anyone until you. something about you makes him go crazy- that’s what he is trying to figure out now . “ says seokmin. “ how am i supposed to love him when he doesn’t know how to love me? “ i say. “ and that is exactly what he is trying to figure out ... “ he says.

mingyus pov:

i see y/n walk out the main door. it really makes me think we will never have anything which makes me sob even more. seokmin comes over to me and tells me about the conversation and how y/n most likely won’t fall for me unless i try which i will. i want her to be mine but something tells me that won’t happen. i get up to go get an ice cold beer out of my fridge. as i open it i start to think about things i could do to win y/n over.

jaehyun told me a lot of things that she liked- like foods, drinks, hobbies, etc and it seems like me and her are pretty much the same. thats what jaehyun and y/n lacked. they are just too different but maybe- just maybe me and her can be something. i started to write my ideas down when i get a message from y/n.

marks pov:

i am really excited for y/n- though i am scared at the same time especially because of mingyus reputation. i am glad she is exploring though- lets just wait until jaehyun sees..

main masterlist | previous | next |

_______________________________________________

y/ns pov :

immediately after school i go home to get ready for me and mingyus date. i have three hours before he picks me up so i wanna look as good as possible. once i was done with my 45 minute shower the bathroom smelled like blossoms in a flower field. i throw on my favorite blue jeans and a black bodysuit on . it was a lot chillier today so i have to wear a bigger coat and a comfier fit . i go sit on my vanity to do my hair - i straighten it to perfection . i throw on a hat and i go to my perfume collection on my dresser . i look and see my tom ford collection… it reminded me of jaehyun and his amazing scent. he bought them for us to match back when we were dating but i never realized i still had them. i wanted to wear it but i just went with Chanel N°5 .

i put on my shoes and simply wait for mingyu . it took me about 2 in a half hours to get ready so i am pretty good on schedule. i didn’t receive any messages from him which scared me . i don’t want to be let down especially since i am giving him a chance . maybe about a good 10 minutes i hear someone knocking on my door .

i open it to see a very handsome mingyu. he had on khaki color dress pants with a gray sweater on . he completed the look with low top black converse and black bag- his hair cutely parted on the side. i didn’t even realize we were staring at each other until he broke the silence . “ hi “ he says with a smile. the raspiness in his voice caught me off guard. why didn’t i realize how handsome this man was before? i ask to myself.

“ hey .. wow you look great - different from what i usually see you in “ i say with a slight chuckle. mingyu does that cute little giggle he does and looms away shyly. “ i am a man of different styles what i tell you “ he responds . “ you look amazing by the way “ he adds. i smiled and grabbed my bag. we walked down to his car in the parking garage - we were silent the whole time, just taking in each other’s presence for once. it was nice. his car smelled like roses and champagne, a smell only a man like him could have. he turned on some music and it was definitely a relaxing ride.

again, it was silent . the whole 30 min car ride was silent but like i said before it was a nice feeling. “ are you ready to be wowed at my amazing surprise date ? “ he asked me , adding a smirk at the end . “ no .. i am kinda scared now that you ask “ i laugh jokingly . he continues to drive at his normal pace and i just relaxed. i look to the left of me to see an area lit up to the sky with led lights. i look up and we are at the Namsan tower.

note: hello everyone !! i know i have not uploaded ,, i have been on my last couple of weeks of school and it is a lot! i am on summer break now so i will be uploading regularly like before :))

“Someday I’ll write poems about this, but first I must survive it.” ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ [Thanks for 100+ followers]ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ

A Kiss for Luck

As mentioned before, I don’t write in chronological order. Here’s another example of that in this Essie and Jaehyun piece. 

This one’s also dedicated to @gyuschilli, which I will discuss more in the summary. 

And how can I not forget to add an adorable GIF of Jeong Jaehyun for your pleasure? 

Mahal ko kayong lahat! :) 

–––

Summary: This story was inspired by this tweet that @gyuschilli sent me, and I thought it might tie in to their affair as well. Consider this as the main event of their fourth day, even if I wrote a snippet of it on a previous post. 

POV: 3rd person as this is one of my most recent writing. 

Word count: 1,000 + words 

Warning: As always, they are a horny bunch. Nothing smutty, just a bit of sexiness here. 

–––

“Yoon Oh, what’s up?”

She never called him his real name unless she was serious. Jeong Jaehyun looked at Essie Park, who was rubbing circles on his back. They were hanging out at the couch in her apartment, which she shared with two of their friends. One of them happened to be her boyfriend, who was abroad at the moment. The same could be said for the other one, who was with Jaehyun’s housemate for a special project. In short, they had their apartments all to their selves.

“It’s just that…” he started, looking at anything than her worried face, “I might go out of the country too in a week or so. I’ve been offered a project, just like Mark and Taeyong. It's a solo one, and I might not be back for a couple of weeks.”

This made her lean back against the couch and place her hands on her lap. “Oh, why are you all leaving one at a time?” She asked in a small voice.

“That’s what my manager told me, mon amour. I thought that this project wouldn’t push through until next year, and I was shocked to hear this news earlier.”  

“Oh, I see,” Essie scrutinized her fingers as she waited for Jaehyun’s response. “I’m sorry about that,” She felt him move closer to her, “but we still have a couple of days to enjoy each other’s company before I leave?”

When she looked up at him, his lips were immediately on hers.

Ah, it was already the fourth day of their affair. They drove to the beach, ate good food, and fucked as much as they could for the past few days. Hearing that he would have to fly for a project next week broke Essie a bit, but she was also relieved deep inside since she could still detach herself from him.

If she took the time to reflect, then she would realize how much this is hurting her. She knew she loved her boyfriend, The One and Only Johnny Suh, but she could not resist temptation in the form of Jeong Jaehyun.

Both of them started as her friends, but it was the Korean-American who won her heart eventually. It was only recently that Jaehyun admitted he liked her, and as much as she didn’t want to break his heart, she had broken hers (and her boyfriend’s) for starting this affair.

When they pulled away from each other, Jaehyun buried his face on the crook of Essie’s neck. “My darling, I don’t want to leave you,” he whispered. “Not now that we’re getting to know each other better.”

“I could say the same, mon cheri,” she kissed his cheek. “I’ve always wanted to have deep conversations with you, but we never had much time, no?”

“Because you were always with Johnny hyung,” he scoffed, pulling away from her to show his sarcasm. “But that doesn’t matter right now. You are all mine,” He started to pepper her neck with kisses, which she encouraged by stroking his hair.

She closed her eyes and let him pleasure her. Once again, she will forget that she is someone else’s and that she is for him alone.

\\\

As they spent the afternoon listening to records and drinking wine, Jaehyun suddenly wore his serious look again, which concerned (but mostly bothered) Essie.

“Yoon Oh…” She wrapped her arms around his waist. “It hurts me when I see you look like that. What’s up, my sweet lover?”

“I remembered my project again. This will be the first time I’m doing something like this, so…I’m quite nervous about it.”

Although his confidence level was not as extreme as Johnny’s, Essie found it heartbreaking that Jaehyun was not feeling his best about this new endeavor.

“Is there anything I can do to help you?” She looked up at him with puppy eyes, making him suppress his groan by biting his lip.

“How about…you kiss me for good luck?” He flashed his trademark dimpled smile, which she responded to by thwacking him on the shoulder.

“Seriously, Jay? Will a kiss really help you?” She folded her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow at him.

“If it woke up Sleeping Beauty and turned frogs into princes, then I guess it would,” he was practically beaming at how absurd he sounded, but he hoped that she would buy it.

“Then you might turn into a frog if I kiss you then?” She readjusted her arms over her chest and moved closer to him. “I don’t want to see you turn into that.”

He wanted to roll his eyes at how their conversation was going but decided to approach his request in another way. He did his best aegyo, which involved him talking to her in a baby voice and doing a silly dance.

“Can baby get a kiss from his mommy?”

Essie had the urge to hide from secondhand embarrassment but pulled through when she saw how desperate he was for it.

“Okay, if that’s what you want,” she closed the gap between them and kissed him on the cheek. “Is that enough, mon bebe?”

He shook his head and pointed at his lips. “Isn’t my baby demanding?” she sighed.

“Come on, mon amour. Just this one, and I’ll be okay.” He puckered his lips and made kissy noises.

She gave in to his request, and he responded with such passion that it led to them making out on the couch.

It was déjà vu – didn’t this just happen a while ago? As she became lost in his kisses, the thought of him leaving her crept back in her mind.

She was conflicted once more. It is for the best that you cut this as soon as you can, her logical side told her.

No, you will never get to do this again, her emotional side lamented.

Shut the fuck up, she told both sides of her brain as she felt Jaehyun’s tongue go deeper in her mouth.

She moaned at how good it felt, and as always, they fucked.

This was becoming a routine, and she wondered if she could keep it up before he leaves or not.

Housemates (Jaehyun)

Of course, I had to do my version of having Jeong Jaehyun as a housemate. Expect fluffy happenings and realizations on his part in this piece. 

As always, here’s a Jaehyun GIF for you. I just want to poke and squish his cheeks here!  

Mahal ko kayong lahat! :)

–––

Summary: Like the previous ones, this story is inspired by this post. There was one item that I wasn’t able to write about, and one of the scenarios here is inspired by real life. Can you guess what that is? 

POV: This has a mix of both 2nd and 3rd POVs since I wrote them at different times. 

Word count: 2,100 + words, which is the longest I have for this series. 

Warning: Truthfully, I wrote this piece sort of a prelude to their affair, so expect that he’s quite sweet with Essie on this. 

–––

There was a time in Essie’s life that she and Jaehyun were housemates before their affair. Maybe that experience was why the guy fell for her but still didn’t do anything about it until it was too late.

Essie stayed in Jaehyun’s old place when he and Taeil were still housemates. This time, Taeil was staying with Donghyuck since they became closer over time. Not that the old roommates weren’t friends anymore; they just grew apart.

Essie and Taeil loved bonding over music and cats. Jaehyun will observe them from afar, with his trademark dimpled smile, as they played with kittens while listening to Frank Ocean.

“Are you guys hungry?” The pink-haired guy interrupted their moment, moving closer to them so they will notice his presence. “Yeah, we are!” Essie and Taeil said at the same time, which made them giggle afterward. “Aren’t you hungry too, Ying?” The girl cooed at the white kitten on her lap. “I’m sure Yang is hungry!” The guy beside her said, stroking the fur of the black kitten he now carried in his arms.

Jaehyun chuckled at his housemates before grabbing his coat. “I’ll get you your favorites, please wait for me.”

“Okay, bye! Take care!” Both voices said at the same time, along with the soft meowing of kittens.

\\\

“I can’t sleep,” Essie whined one evening when she appeared in Jaehyun’s room. The girl was dressed in men’s pajamas, which she probably swiped from Johnny.

“How can I help you sleep?” The guy asked, motioning her to come further into his room. She walked hesitantly towards the small chair beside his shelf of knick-knacks, her eyes roaming all over his room.

“Your place looks cute and cozy, it’s very you,” she commented before taking a seat on said small chair.

Jaehyun had just closed the door to his room and was now standing in front of Essie. “Thanks sweetie, that’s very thoughtful of you,” he sat across from her on the edge of his bed, “but what would you want to do now?”

She assumed a thinker’s pose – hands cradling her chin – and hummed. “Are you watching anything right now?”

“A series? Let’s see,” he got his phone and checked Netflix. “Just re-runs of ‘Friends’. Would you like to watch it with me?”

She nodded eagerly, and he set up the television. “Thanks, dude. Maybe watching a series might make me sleepy,” she mumbled as she was now seated on one part of his bed.

“No problem, my sweet Essie. I’m happy to help you out,” he said as he plopped on the space beside her as the iconic introduction of the series now played.

A few episodes in and Jaehyun noticed that the girl was yawning. “Okay, I think you’re sleepy now,” he whispered. She gave a small nod before yawning loudly. “Thanks again, Jay. Sorry if I had to crash here just so I can be sleepy.”

“Anything for you, sweetie.” He squeezed her hand, which she returned. “Just drop by when you have a problem or something.”

She got up from the bed and waved silently before leaving his room. This was one of those moments that he felt weird and warm at the same time – he was slowly falling for her.

Maybe he should stop giving her pet names? That might be the reason why he found her more attractive each day. Or maybe he’s just making an excuse because he has always been interested in her from the start.

\\\

“Good morning, honey,” Jaehyun greeted Essie, who looked like she needed more hours of sleep despite sleeping for more than the recommended 8 hours.

“Honey? Yesterday I was sweetie,” she mumbled while rubbing her eyes. “You never seem to run out of nicknames for me, eh?”

“Yup, as long as I think of anything to call you, I’ll call you that.” He said, smiling at her as he handed her the box of cereal. “Do you want anything else?”

“Milk, of course. How am I supposed to eat this without it?” Essie shook the box in front of him in annoyance.

He chuckled at her reaction and handed her a carton of milk from the fridge. “You just want some milk, okay then,” he muttered.

This got her laughing as she remembered a viral video of him studying for his English oral exams, and netizens highlighted that line as one of his iconic moments.

“Don’t you dare bring it up, honey,” he grumbled as he got a bowl and spoon for her.

“But that was really funny, Yoon Oh!”

His only response was a glare, which didn’t faze Essie at all. Instead, she burst into laughter and even slapped the table for emphasis.

\\\

“You poor baby,” Jaehyun said, brushing the strands of Essie’s hair away from her face. “I’m sorry you had to see me like this, usually I get better with meds and rest,” the girl replied, her voice a bit hoarse.

Essie got sick during the second week of her stay in Jaehyun and Taeil’s apartment. The latter was out, and it was just her and the former at home.

At first, she was just sneezing more than usual. Then, she was coughing. Soon enough, she had to wear a facemask despite her aversion to them. Jaehyun noticed that her eyes were red and watery as well.

When he decided to check on Essie a while ago, he saw that she was completely wrapped in her comforter even if the AC was on. He took matters into his own hands, and that’s why they ended up like this.

“I heard from Johnny that your mom always made you warm calamansi juice whenever you got sick,” he said as he reached for the mug on her bedside table.

She got teary-eyed as she took the mug from him. “You didn’t have to do this for me,” she said before taking a sip. “I just needed more rest, that’s all.”

“You’ll get better faster when there’s someone to take care of you.”

Essie felt her insides warm up even more with Jaehyun’s comment, and she drank more of the juice he made her.

“I also made some chicken noodle soup. Everything to get your flu out of the way, okay?” He flashed her a smile and patted her thigh.

Essie was practically burning from his touch but did her best not to show that she felt such. She smiled weakly and went back to sleep.

Despite Jaehyun’s good intentions, his actions made Essie’s temperature go higher.

“And I thought you’ll be better faster with my warm offerings,” he said the following day as he got the thermometer from her.

“I’m sorry, but as I said, I need more rest. But you can make me more of that warm calamansi juice though. Please?” She attempted to bat her eyelashes at him, which made Jaehyun giggle.

“Alright, I’ll make you more of that. I’m glad you love it though,” he said as he kissed her temple.

“Thank you, Jay. You’re the best. Your future girlfriend will be so lucky to have you,” she murmured before closing her eyes.

He took one last look at her before going to the kitchen to prepare her drink.

Yes, Essie. You are lucky to have me.

\\\

One of the things that irked you when you were roommates with Jaehyun was that he always had to put his game on loudspeaker.

You groaned as you heard the sound of machine guns, a female voice screaming ‘Victory’, and conversations between the characters of the game.

“Jay, would you turn it down a bit? I’m trying to focus here,” you said as poked your head in his room.

He was intent on killing the enemy on the screen, and it took him a couple of seconds to respond to your request. He paused the game and flashed you an apologetic smile.

“Sorry about that, I’ll just lower the volume. I like playing games with the sound on, it gets me more in the mood.”

You rolled your eyes at his answer and closed the door. You hoped that he would do what he said since even your noise-canceling headphones weren’t strong enough to block the noises of his game.

Maybe it’s about time that you replace that Bose hand-me-down from your sister.

\\\

You were surprised to see two shirts, a pair of joggers, and a hoodie that wasn't yours in your hamper.

You examined the tags and realized that these clothes belonged to Jaehyun. Your rooms were just beside each other, with your hamper placed outside your room.

Since it was just outside, it was convenient for you to dump your laundry there. And maybe he thought the same since he also did with his clothes on your hamper.

“Jay…” You started as you poked your head in his room again. He was lying on his bed scrolling through his phone. He wore his headband, a black shirt, and a pair of shorts. He looked comfortable in his position – a bit of his torso showed as the shirt had risen.

“Yeah?” He said without turning around. When you squinted your eyes to look at what he was doing, you chuckled. He was responding to tweets from friends and fans.

“May I ask why you put some of your laundries in my basket?”

This got him to stand up immediately and rush to the hamper outside your rooms. “Sorry about that, Essie,” he said, plucking out his clothes that you have now carefully folded on top of yours. “It’s just easier to dump them there than put them in my hamper inside the room.”

“Then why not just put your hamper outside then? I’m sure ours don’t look the same,” you said, peeking into his room for his basket.

Shoot, it looked like yours as well – a wicker basket with a lid and linen lining inside.

“No wonder you’ve been putting your clothes in mine,” you groaned as you dragged the basket outside. “I’ll just put a label on which one’s yours and mine, okay?”

The guy nodded, opening the lid of his hamper and dumping his laundry in. “I’m sorry, Essie. This won’t happen again.”

But of course, it still happened again even if you have put labels on your baskets. Maybe that’s just the way it is with Jaehyun – you’ll always have to segregate what’s yours and his in your respective hampers.

If you only knew that he liked to put his clothes in your basket so it could mingle with the scent of yours. It’s a little bit creepy and sweet at the same time – who knew that the heartthrob has a side like this, eh?

\\\

“I can’t sleep again.”

You said, hoping your voice was loud enough for him through the wall.

“Well, we can talk if you want. Do you want to come here?”

Jaehyun answered, his voice loud enough to penetrate through the wall.

“I’m too tired to move, dude. My legs feel like jelly from bowling, which I haven’t played in ages.” You rubbed your thighs in hopes that they feel a bit better.

You heard him chuckle first before he responded to your comment. “Well, I suppose you didn’t stretch first?”

“Ugh, I forgot about that! I’ll take note of that next time. Anyway, what’s up with you?”

“I’m trying to compose something. I’m talking to you as I sit in front of my keyboard right now.”

“Do you have any chords in mind to start it off?”

“Well, here it goes,” he said, pressing a couple of chords that sounded melancholic. “That seems fitting for an emotional song,” you commented. “Have you thought about the lyrics?”

Your conversation continued even if there was a wall separating you two. Taeil wasn’t at the apartment right now as he went home to his parents. Lately, it’s always you and Jaehyun who hung out. You missed Taeil since only the two of you loved cats, and he brought Ying and Yang home.

As you and your housemate worked on a song together, you couldn’t help but feel warm inside. The AC in your room was on, but the warmth blooming inside you rendered it almost useless. It was nice talking to Jaehyun like this. You were able to collaborate on a song together even if you didn’t have to see each other’s faces.

Before you knew it, sunlight peeked in through your curtains. “Wow, dude. We’ve been talking for what, four to five hours straight? It’s now 5 in the morning.”

“Yeah, Essie. I can’t believe it as well,” he chortled. You heard the sound of a chair being moved and took it as a cue to wrap things up.

“Thanks for talking to me, Jay. And I’m glad that I was able to help you out with your composition.” You said, now lying on your bed instead of sitting on it.

“Sure thing, anything for you. Like I always say, right?” He never seemed to stop chuckling at his words, but you didn’t let it get to you for now.

“Good night, Jaehyun.”

“Good morning, Essie.”

If you guessed that having warm calamansi juice while being sick is inspired by real life, then you are correct. I miss it though!

Prompt #2: “Can I sleep here tonight? With you?”

You were having nightmares recently.

There was a tall, pale woman with long hair that has been chasing you in your dreams. Sometimes, you dreamt about your dead mother berating you, and then all the holes in her face will be replaced by crawling bugs.

When you had episodes like this, Johnny was the only one who could help you. He had a routine to calm you down – he prepared a glass of warm milk mixed with cinnamon and honey, then tucked you to bed, combed your hair with his hands, and most importantly, he slept beside you while tapping your thigh.

However, you weren’t in his apartment right now, and he wasn’t in the country too. He was back in his hometown for a much-needed vacation, and you didn’t want to bother him too much since you wanted him to reconnect with his family.

You were in Jaehyun and Taeil’s apartment for now as yours was being renovated. You didn’t know who to approach regarding your problem since you weren’t that close with them like the way you are with Johnny.

As you stepped out of your room to look for milk in the fridge, you saw that Jaehyun’s door was ajar. You tiptoed towards it, peeking to see what he was doing.

He was just on his bed, checking his phone with Jamie Foxx playing in the background. You noticed that his turntable was on, and the music was playing softly.

His room looked inviting for you to sleep in – at least good music is playing, and maybe you can fall asleep listening to Jaehyun talk about anything.

Other people might find your idea to be daring, considering male and female friends don’t just sleep in each other’s rooms. But since you got used to skinship because of Johnny, you noticed how different your friends (of both genders) treated you when you became a bit touchier with them.

They were more affectionate, and they understood you better even if you didn’t say anything.

You returned to the kitchen to prepare your drink, which you were glad that you have. There was also honey and cinnamon available, and you squealed at how things were looking great for you.

As soon as you were done preparing and drinking your milk drink, you gathered your courage to ask Jaehyun for a favor that you hoped he would agree to.

\\

“Jay?”

“Yes, Essie?”

“Can I ask for a favor?”

“Sure, what is it?”

“Can I sleep here tonight? With you?”

Your conversation happened while you were standing at his doorway, your voice as soft as possible so as not to wake up Taeil.

Jaehyun’s eyes widened at your question, and he had to stand in front of you to check if he wasn’t hearing things.

“Come again? Did you just say sleep here?”

You nodded vigorously as you felt your tears were about to fall at any time. You clutched the pillow that you held tightly and looked away from his face for a bit.

“Why, what’s wrong?” You felt his clammy hand pull you into his room, and you let yourself be led inside.

Both of you sat on his bed, and you covered your face with your pillow as soon as he tilted you to look at him.

“I’m having nightmares,” you mumbled into your pillow.

“About what, dear? Is it alright if you tell me?” Jaehyun gently removed the pillow on your face and led you to lie down with him on the bed.

You sniffed first before you shared your story, tears falling from your face as you recalled in detail the nightmares you were having.

Since you were so intent on telling your tale, you didn’t notice how intent Jaehyun was on listening to your story.

When you were done, that was the time you realized that you cried. You wiped the tears that wet his sheet, and he swatted your hand away from the marks you left. “It’s fine, Essie. I understand. Is there anything else I could do to make you forget about your nightmares?” He asked, taking one of your hands and squeezing it gently.

“My housemate has a routine for me,” you started, “and I’ve already done some of them though…” You looked at him shyly and saw an aloof expression on his face.

Was there something wrong with Johnny doing things for you if you were having nightmares?

“So, what else does your housemate do for you, then?” Jaehyun’s voice sounded stern, and you were slightly taken aback. That didn’t stop you from voicing out your request, though.

“Uh, he pats my thigh,” you tapped your upper outer thigh, “until I fall asleep. So basically, he sleeps beside me.” Your cheeks felt on fire as you said all of this, embarrassed at the things some people will do for you.

“Okay, got it,” His voice became soft again, and he shifted his body toward you. “Should I sing you a lullaby?”

You nodded, and he closed the small gap between you by pulling you to his chest. He surprised you when he sang an obscure Beatles song which he tweaked a bit.

Half of what I say is meaningless

But I say it just to reach you, Essie

Although the original song was played with the guitar, he decided to sing it a capella while patting your thigh.

You felt sleep creep into your system as he hummed some parts to make the song longer.

“Thank you, Jay,” you mumbled as coherently as you could.

You weren’t able to hear his reply as slumber completely enveloped you.

If only you fought it for a few more seconds, you could’ve heard him say, “Anything for my dear.”

Prompt #26: “Do you have more pillows?”

There should be at least four pillows on your bed, but right now, you only had three. One of them was missing, and you didn’t know where it went.

You were about to sleep, but the absence of your fourth pillow bothered you. “Where could that be?” You grumbled to yourself, slipping on your bedroom slippers to search for it all over the apartment.

You were currently staying in Jaehyun and Taeil’s apartment as yours was under renovation. Taeil was already knocked out from his schedule and spared his room for your search. You checked the sofa if it was there and frowned when it wasn’t.

You thought of bothering Jaehyun but felt a bit shy since it was already late in the evening. You know that he’s a night owl, but you didn’t like bothering other people at this time. However, you also know that you couldn’t sleep without that extra pillow, so you gathered all your courage to knock on his door.

When he opened it slightly, you saw that he wore his silly headband again. “Yes, Essie? What can I do for you?”

“Do you have more pillows?” You asked, peeking at the small space behind him. Too bad his bed wasn’t in plain sight – you could’ve checked easily if he has a spare that you can borrow.

“Uh, yeah,” he responded, now opening the door fully. You stepped in and looked to your right immediately. Jackpot – his bed was on that side. Your eyes widened at what you saw.

It was the fourth pillow you were looking for.

“What…is this doing here?” You grabbed your pillow from his bed and squeezed it.

“Essie, you slept in here last night. Don’t you remember?”

You closed your eyes to jog the memory in your mind, and he was correct – you did sleep in his room last night since you were having nightmares for the past few days. Now you weren’t sure if you were cured of that though.

“Oh, right. Sorry, my bad. Thank you for that,” you turned on your heel and faced the door, “I guess I’ll get going then.”

“Are you sure you’re okay? You can sleep here again if you want,” Jaehyun’s response made you bury your face in your pillow.

“No, it’s fine. I appreciate your gesture, but I think I can manage now.” You faced him again and gave him a thumbs-up.

“Okay, if you say so. Night Essie,” he said, kissing your cheek before you exited his room.

As he closed the door gently, you stood dumbfounded outside.

“Night night Jay,” you whispered, hoping that it was loud for him to hear.

When you didn’t receive any response, you took it as your cue to return to your bedroom with your pillow.

Cruel Game

Shaking things up with this brain fart because too much lovey-dovey can get on your nerves. Well, sometimes. Or is it just me? 

Anyway, I just want to share that I love any Jaehyun and Mark interactions. I like how chill both are, and let’s be honest – they give off frat boy vibes. 

I love this GIF of them – I feel the love, man! GIF is from this link.

Mahal ko kayong lahat! :)

Summary: Sharing that I love Jaehyun and Mark’s friendship is a clue to what you’ll be reading today, as the guys are fueled by their jealousy to get Essie’s heart. Say what?! Yes, I wrote this with the tensest timeline in mind, meaning it’s before Johnny and Essie got together and are getting real touchy with each other. 

POV: 3rd person 

Word count: 1,200 + words 

Warning: Italics are for thoughts and foreign terms. 

–––

Jaehyun knew he lost when he saw the look Essie and Johnny shared during one of their hangouts.

The grey-haired heartthrob, along with Taeyong and Ten, decided to visit their friends Mark, Johnny, and Essie (who also happen to be housemates). It has been a while since Mark and Taeyong were in their respective apartments due to their hectic schedules, and it has been ages since all of them hung out with Ten.

He, Taeyong, and Johnny cooked while Ten, Mark, and Essie provided entertainment through singing with their respective instruments or dancing. The three men prepared a mix of both Korean and Japanese food, which delighted the only girl in the house. “It’s as if you know what I’m craving for!” She gushed, clapping her hands together in glee.

“Of course, I know what you like,” Jaehyun commented confidently with a wink, making her blush. His action was not lost on Johnny, who looked as if he could burn a hole on the back of his friend’s head. “Thank you, Jay!” Essie chirped before she nudged Ten to help her in setting the table.

Once that was set, everyone sat down and enjoyed their dinner. It was during this part of the evening that Jaehyun knew that Essie has made up her mind on whom she likes the most. It was not lost on him that he was one of the people who first knew of her crush on Johnny and other guys in their huge social circle. If he remembered correctly, the only ones from the group she told of were him and Ten.

He caught Johnny tapping her shoulder lightly to whisper something in her ear. He noticed the way she leaned immediately to his touch and giggled at the few words he said. They shared a look before they went back to eating.

If he was asked to describe the look they gave each other, it was one of sweet longing and understanding. In short, he was jealous that he wasn’t the one who received it.

Jaehyun tightened the grip on his utensils as he continued eating dinner, feeling his face heat up in anger. “Hey, hyung. You okay?” Mark asked, who was seated to his left. He nodded in response and gave a goofy smile to reassure him.

“But your ear is, like, all red,” Ten commented before eating a whole sushi. He touched his ear and felt that he was going to get burned with how hot it was. “Oh, maybe it must be the weather? Or the room’s a bit too warm,” he mumbled before focusing on his plate again.

“Did you say it’s too hot, Jay? I can adjust the temperature of the AC,” Essie offered, now standing up to go to where she placed the remote of the air conditioner. “Yeah, thanks dear,” he said softly, looking at her figure disappear into the living room.

“Hey, that’s not where the remote for the AC is, you dummy! It’s over here,” Johnny said, following the girl into the room she went to. The sight of his friend going to where his crush was made him massage his temples in silence, which then led him to lose his appetite.

“I don’t think you’re okay, hyung,” Mark whispered, moving his chair closer to the table. The sound it made turned heads, and all of them looked at the two guys. “What?” Jaehyun was irritated at the looks he got from Taeyong and Ten.

“Yeah, you don’t seem well, Yoon Oh. Do you need a break?” Taeyong said carefully since he didn’t want to irk his housemate. After all, they were going home the same way in the same car.

“I think so. I’ll just be outside,” Jaehyun muttered before going outside to the porch. Mark excused himself shortly afterward and went to where he was as well.

The two men observed the night scenery in silence – well, they could still hear the sound of cicadas chirping and clicking and their heavy breathing.

“What brings you here, Mark?” He started, folding his arms over his chest.

“I think I know what set you off,” the younger guy replied, moving closer to him.

“Oh, you think? Then humor me. Tell me what that is,” his tone was sarcastic, which Mark picked up and returned in his response.

“Don’t think you’re the only one who’s annoyed with Johnny and Essie making goo-goo eyes at each other.”

They looked at each other for a moment and burst into laughter afterward. “Hey, why are you annoyed with them? What did they do to you? Sucks that you have to endure that, eh?” Jaehyun took a seat on the bench, and Mark followed suit. “It’s not that they did anything to me, but I think…I like Essie noona more than, you know, as a sister figure.” The way his voice softened at the end made the older guy’s heart ache.

“Damn, Mark. I didn’t know you felt that way. I guess…you can say the same thing about me too,” he brushed his hair away from his face and looked out into the dark horizon again. “It’s not usual for me to be jealous, especially towards one of my best friends. But I can’t help it. I like Essie too, but I think she has made her decision on who she likes the most.”

“Huh? What does that mean?” Mark moved closer to his hyung, his eyes shining in anticipation with his next words.

Oh crap, this is bad. I shouldn’t have phrased it that way…he thought, running another hand through his hair.

“Let’s just say that Essie likes a lot of guys, and among them all, Johnny is the one she likes the best. And unfortunately, none of us made that list. Isn’t that sad?”

It took a moment for Mark to reply. “Maybe she wouldn’t tell us that if she liked us that way, you know? But maybe she likes one of us too, or heck, even just one of us aside from Johnny hyung. But who are we to compete with him?” He peeked inside and saw that he and Essie were arguing on the dinner table.

“Hey, be confident with yourself, Mark Lee. Suh Youngho isn’t the only handsome and talented guy in the room,” Jaehyun patted his friend’s back before sneaking a look on the commotion inside. He saw that Essie looked pissed, and Johnny was rolling his eyes at her.

“But they look like a fucking married couple already,” Mark mumbled, his eyes also focused on the two. “I think they’re meant for each other.”

“Don’t lose hope. Why don’t you try?” Both men returned to looking at the night sky. “You know, talking with you made me not give up on pursuing Essie. I felt that I have already lost. That sickeningly sweet look she and Youngho had earlier broke me, man. I swear to you,” the older guy admitted, his eyes now focused on his shoes.

“But that means we’ll be competing for her then,” the black-haired guy glanced at Jaehyun, who was now looking at him. “I still want to try, you know. Even if I know deep inside she might not accept my love.”

“That’s the spirit, I guess?” Jaehyun chuckled, slinging an arm around Mark’s shoulder. “May the best man win then.”

“Good luck to us, hyung. I mean it.”

FIN

P.S. The title came from ‘Sit Down’ as it suddenly played in my head the moment I saved the initial draft. Of course, how can I forget Jaehyun’s lines and his competitive spirit?

Ryujin is a girl who never followed her parents rules, she would always runaway for days at a time, but she always came back, until one day she didn’t. She was captured by her parents rivial gang, so they decied they needed a bodyguard for her, so she couldn’t leave without someone with her. She hated her bodyguards, they would never even talk to her, they just kept silent unless they talked to her and she hated that they always talked down to her, so she got them fired.

She hated her bodyguards, they would never even talk to her, they just kept silent unless they talked to her and she hated that they always talked down to her, so she got them fired.

Ryujin’s parents looked into anther bodyguard and they found Jaehyun a bodyguard who used to be in a mafia gang, so he understood that she needed to be kept safe and away from danger. Jaehyun was different, he actually talked to her, they actually had alot in common, but one day she kissed him and he kissed her back, but after all that he would ignore her, but that didn’t stop her so she ran away again, hoping that he’d come find her which he did.

[1:28am]

assassin!jaehyun presses his hand to your rifle, stepping between you and your target. you’d known he would try to stop you when he found out your assigned target was his civilian brother - but you didn’t think the pleading look in your partner’s eyes would hurt as much.

“move, jaehyun,” you tell him sternly, your voice cracking ever so slightly as you speak his name.

“you can’t do this,” he says, completely covering your line of fire by pressing his chest to the tip of your rifle. his eyes beg with you as you push him with the weapon. “(y/n), just for old time’s sake, please.”

you had previously knocked the target out for a quick death due to your guilt when jaehyun stepped in. your eyes flickered to his trembling hands that had set his brother more comfortably on the floor while you were frozen in shock from his sudden appearance.

“you know i have to, jae,” you shove him with the tip of your rifle again. “we both know what happens to my family if i don’t. move, or i’ll shoot.” it’s a blatant lie, and your voice shakes as you tell it.

jaehyun’s eyes harden. “no.”

you tear up at the prospect of having to fight and possibly kill your best friend, partner, and long-time love. “jaehyun, please.” it was you begging now. “i don’t want to hurt you, but i will.” if you shot through jaehyun’s heart, he would surely die - especially since you were firing from so close.

“he’s my only family, (y/n),” jaehyun says, taking a step closer as your rifle presses into his chest. he takes a deep breath. “you can shoot me. tell them i stopped you and he got away. it’ll be convincing if i die.”

“i can’t do that,” you breathe, tears in your eyes. it was so unlike you to be emotional during a mission, but it was different when jaehyun was involved.

“please,” jaehyun says. his eyes have that flame of determination that you glimpse whenever he finishes off a target - except this time, the target is himself. “please. for me. let dohyun escape, maybe hide him.”

this won’t end the way either of you want it to, and you know it.

you throw your rifle to the floor. “fight me,” you tell him.

jaehyun is only the slightest bit surprised. he’s probably anticipated this, observing your thought process as your partner for several years.

the both of you kick, swing, and punch each other with impossible agility, jaehyun careful to block you from his brother every time you get too close. you land multiple punches on his jawbone as he kicks you in the stomach.

but you can feel that neither jaehyun nor you are fighting with full power.

“i won’t hold back anymore,” you say, slightly out of breath.

“neither will i,” jaehyun smiles slightly, and slides under you as you whip around, anticipating a sudden attack.

you hadn’t thought he would grab your rifle and shoot his own heart.

“jaehyun!” you scream, and rush to his side as he coughs out blood. your fingers tremble as you press the wound in futile hopes that it would magically seal.

he tries to lean on the wall, but to avail - he slides back down in pain, a smear of blood left on the wall.

you cup his face in your bloody hands, lip trembling as you speak. “i hate you so much.”

he looks like he would laugh if it wasn’t too painful. “is that all you have to say?”

you let out a deep sigh while looking into his eyes. they look happier than you’d ever seen them after a flame. “i have too much to say.”

“i do, too,” jaehyun breathes, and coughs out some more blood as you wipe it from his mouth with worried eyes. both of you know his wound is too severe - you’ve both taken several medical classes and witnessed several deaths and know when a wound is absolutely fatal. he smiles, his dimples bloody. “you know, i love you.”

your eyes widen.

“this probably isn’t the best place,” jaehyun jokes, then winces as he forces a laugh back down his throat, “or time. but i don’t think i could die without telling you. you know? i don’t want a respons-”

“i love you too,” you blurt, and jaehyun’s eyes widen in surprise. you press your forehead against his. “i just... wish we had more time.”

jaehyun wonders if it would be disgusting to kiss you when he’d just coughed out blood, but you beat him to it, the taste of death lingering between breaths.

his eyes flutter closed as he presses one last kiss to your lips, murmurs a last plea to help his brother, and whispers a last breath proclaiming “i love you.”

[10:32 pm]

husband!jaehyun listens intently as you explain why you don’t want children. it’s a conversation you knew had to happen sooner or later, but it still stings to see something in jaehyun’s eyes flicker out. you apologize, feeling slightly guilty. jaehyun shakes his head and tells you you shouldn’t be sorry; it’s your body and he supports whatever you choose to do with it. he kisses your forehead with a smile that carves dimples into his cheeks.

you were wrong when you thought you couldn’t love him any more than you already did.
