Word count: 688

The apartment is dark and quiet when Joshua opens the door and stumbles into the living room. After regaining his balance, he turns around to shut the door and accidentally slams it a little too hard.

"Shhhh," he slurs as he shushes himself. "Y/n is sleeping."

He makes his way to the bedroom, not without bumping into a few pieces of furniture on the way, to find you under the blanket with your back facing the door.

"Y/n..." He whines while crawling towards you on the bed before throwing his entire weight onto you.

The smell of alcohol hits you before you can even open your eyes.

"Shua what the fuck," you grumble, slightly pissed about being woken up from your slumber.

Joshua tries to plant a kiss onto your lips as you turned to face him but misses and the kiss lands on your cheek instead.

"Shua..." You groan as you attempt to push him off you. "Get off me, you stink."

His head shoots up at your words.

"How could you say that Y/n," his voice wobbly as his eyes turns glassy. "That's so hurtful."

You let out a big sigh at his theatrics. "I meant the smell of alcohol all over you and your breath stinks Shua."

He lets his head drop back into the crook of your neck.

"My feelings are hurt," he sighs dramatically, "why do the people I love hurt me."

You know that the only way to stop him is to play along with him.

"What can I do to fix this," your tone is nonchalant, all you could think about is getting him off you so you can go back to sleep.

"Geez y/n, the least you can do is pretend to sound like you care after hurting my feelings like that."

"Okay Shua, I'm so sorry for hurting your feelings. How can I make amends?" Using the most pretentious and sweet voice you can come up with as you meet his droopy eyes that are now right in front of your own.

"You could make it up to me by giving me a kiss," he suggests with a smirk.

"Absolutely not with that alcohol breath." You retort.

You see a pout form on his face and in that moment he looks so adorable that you couldn't bring yourself to care about the smell of alcohol anymore.

You lean forward to give him a quick peck.

"Can you get off me now?"

He scoffs. "That wasn't a real kiss and you know it."

"God you're annoying when you're drunk." You mumble under your breath.

"I heard th-"

Before he can finish his words, you shut him up with a kiss. After breaking away, Joshua finally rolls off you to lie on his side of the bed and you turn away from him to go back to sleep.

There's a beat of silence then you feel him moving behind you, his strong arms soon find their way around your waist.

"I love you," he says softly.

You hum quietly in response then you feel his grip tighten, "why aren't you saying it back."

"Can you please just let me sleep in peace?"

Joshua begins humming a tune into your ear then starts singing, "말해줘 say it back..."

When you continue ignoring him, he goes back to whining.

"Y/n... Say it back..." He nuzzles his face into the back of your neck.

"If I say it back will you finally shut up and let me sleep?"

"Yes," he replies a little too eagerly.

"Okay fine I love you," you say back incoherently.

His legs come up to wrap around yours. "Can you at least say it like you mean it?"

"That wasn't part of the agreement."

"Y/n..." More whines from him as his hold on you tightens even more.

"I'd actually love you if you took a shower and brushed your teeth."

"If I do that will you say it back?"

"We'll see."

"Okay wait for me," he gets up from the bed and scrambles to the bathroom.

"Don't fall asleep!" You hear him yell through the sound of the running water.

a/n: this was not inspired by that one scene from in the soop at all ahahahahaha :-) -bibi

how cute

Favorite Dinner

POV: You had a hard day and Vernon is there to comfort you. 

Characters: Vernon, Y/N

Genre: fluff

Warning: none

Word count: 269

You turn the key to your house and enter exhausted. This day has been the longest you have had in a while and one of the hardest. Nothing seemed to be going your way and your brain just wouldn’t cooperate with you. You were frustrated with your mood and the day you had and you were really just looking forward to laying down and starting over the next day. 

You walk in and see your boyfriend, Vernon, holding a plate of food in the kitchen with a big smile on his face. As you walk further into the space you also hear the songs to the playlist you and Vernon created together. You sigh smiling. 

“Hi,” he says setting down the plate and walking toward you. 

“Hi,” you say perking up a little bit at the sight of him. You glance at the plate of food, as you were quite hungry, and saw he had made you your favorite food. 

“Is that what I think it is?” you ask watching him walk towards you. 

“Maybe,” he says, his smile growing wider. 

Once he reaches you, he wraps his arms around your shoulders and pulls you into a hug. 

“I know you had a bad day today and I wanted to make it better,” he says into your hair. 

“Thank you,” you say squeezing him a bit tighter before pulling away. 

“Of course, now let’s eat,” he says letting go and grabbing your hand to set you down at the table where you both enjoy your favorite meal and spend the rest of the evening in each other’s comforting presence. 

why are they so cute

BOOSEOKSOON 'SECOND WIND' COUNTDOWN LIVE

im interested rb with your sign & if you prefer gold or silver jewelry

Hi, if you don’t mind, can you do when SEVENTEEN gives you a promise ring?

hi! thank you for your request, sorry if some of them got a little repetitive and I'm so sorry this took so long. also I did this one in bullet form since I thought it would be easier. I hope you like it!

seventeen - they give you a promise ring

cw: sappy fluff! mentions of food in jeonghan's, joshua's, and seungkwan's

seungcheol -

he would want to give you a promise ring when he tells you that he loves you for the first time

so about a month or two into your relationship, he decides to tell you that he loves you

before he tells you, he needs to get a ring

so he went to a jewelry shop and picked out a ring design

then he got both rings engraved

both rings had both of your initials and a heart on the outside

on the inside, yours had "forever" and his had "always"

yes, very sappy, but he thought it would be cute

he wanted to give it to you in a special way

so he brought you to the place where you had your first date

had a whole speech planned, but then scrapped it last minute

you thought it was just a casual date until all of the sudden he pulled out a tiny square box

your mind automatically went to "omg he's going to propose" and then you were like "WAIT HES GOING TO PROPOSE??"

before he could even get a word in, you said, "seungcheol.. don't you think it's too early to propose?"

now that made him almost drop the box "PROPOSE? I'm not proposing! I'm giving you a promise ring!"

your mouth formed an 'o' shape

he opened the box, gently pulled your right hand up to him, and put the promise ring on one of your fingers. then he put his ring on his finger

"not that I don't like the rings, but why'd you get them?" you questioned

"I wanted to get something as a symbol of our love"

you malfunctioned again "LOVE??"

he nodded nonchalantly "yeah, love. I love you"

you folded right there "I love you too"

"and don't worry, I won't propose.. yet"

"HUH-"

jeonghan -

he decided to get you a promise ring after noticing your eyes lighting up when you saw couples in shows giving each other promise rings

he wanted to make you happy, so got you both custom made rings

they both had the date you started dating on them

jeonghan was debating on when to give you your ring

maybe he could give them to you on your anniversary? no, he already had something else planned then

so he finally decided to give it to you on your birthday

he had wished you happy birthday when you first woke up, but then just acted like it was a normal day

until it was dinner time and he told you that he had reservations for you at this one fancy restaurant

halfway through dinner, he sneakily pulled out the box the rings were in

"love, I have something for you"

you looked up from your food to see him pulling out a ring from a box

"I got us promise rings. I hope you like it"

you gently grabbed the ring. "like it? I love it!! thank you. you know you didn't have to do this, right?"

he smiled at you, "I know, but I thought it would make you happy. which I why I got them"

he leaned in closer to you and motioned for you to move closer

"do you think if I get down on one knee and act like I'm proposing, they'll give us free food?"

"jeonghan!.. wait, that's actually smart"

"I know right"

——

joshua -

he is the type to make it so romantic

others don't view promise rings as a big deal. him on the other hand? thinks it's huge

flowers? check. music? check. food? check. park that he rented out? check

josh would have everything planned out..

then realize he hasn't even got the rings

so now he's panicking

would rush around trying to get the perfect rings for you

picks out a ring style and then gets a heart engraved on both

randomly takes you on a date one late night

you were really confused since it was out of nowhere

when you arrived at the park, joshua was really adamant that you guys should go to this one part of the park where there's a tiny pond and trees around it

you agreed, but you were still confused because like ??

anyways when you got to that section, you saw fairy lights hanging from the trees, a bouquet of flowers laying against one of the trees, a picnic blanket and basket on the ground, and a speaker on the blanket

safe to say that you were speechless

he led you over to the blanket and sat down with you

he pulled out a little box from his pocket and pulled out one of the rings

he then handed you that ring and watched as you put it on

"it's a promise ring. I wanted to get you something related to our relationship that you could wear"

so then you start tearing up because it was just all so sweet

..but then joshua starting panicking again

"why are you crying?? did I say something wrong? do you not like the ring design? I can get us new ones"

you shook your head and told him that he didn't do anything wrong and that it was just so sweet of him to do this (and that you LOVED the ring design)

——

jun -

he would act nonchalant about it but on the inside, he would be freaking out

he would be thinking about what to get you for your anniversary

then the thought of getting you a promise ring would pop in his head

so he picked out a ring that he liked

he didn't get any engravings since he thought you would like it the way it was originally

jun had multiple ideas of ways to give it to you

but then he just decided to give it to you one random night

you were just laying down on your bed, scrolling on your phone

when jun walked in with a tiny bag and he handed it to you

he sat beside you on the bed and watched as you pulled out the box that had the ring

you opened it and stared at it in shock

jun held up his hand and said "it's a promise ring. I already have mine on"

you slipped the ring on your finger and admired it

"this was so sweet, thank you" you said as you hugged him

"I'm so glad you like it"

——

soonyoung -

he would get the promise rings very impulsively

like he would just be scrolling on Twitter or something and then see an ad for promise rings

"y/n would like this!" he would say to himself as he's already clicking on the ad

soonyoung got the rings ordered within five minutes

before the rings arrived, he would go out and buy you a tiger plushie

because tigers plushies are a must !!

when the rings actually arrived, he laid them on the bed with the plushie

he immediately brought you to your room when you got home so you could see his gift

you probably wouldn't even notice the rings at first

you would just pick the plushie up and thank him

"what about the rings" he would ask with a frown on his face

"the WHAT" you replied

he would point to the rings which you only noticed when he pointed them out

"I didn't even see those! they're so pretty. are they promise rings?"

he nodded and said "one of them is mine and the other is yours!"

you would hand him his and put yours on

then you had a long cuddle session afterwards

——

wonwoo -

he's the type to silently watch your reactions to things like that happen in shows and to couples that you see in public

so I feel like maybe one time he saw you admiring this couple that you two saw in a cafe

they were giving each other promise rings as a sign of their love

wonwoo figured that it would be a good idea to get you a promise ring

he would subtlety ask you like what your favourite ring designs are and such things like that

would order a ring with the designs that you like and an engraving with the date you started dating

would probably hide the rings in a drawer

then give it to you at the most random moment

probably when you're cuddling on the couch, watching tv

he'd just say "oh hey, I have a gift for you" and he'd get up and get it

hands it to you as you're like ??

has a small smile on his face as you open it

"I figured you'd want your own promise ring"

you quickly slide the ring on and attack him with a hug

he was caught off guard and almost fell off the couch

which caused you both to burst into laughter

that night was full of laughter, smiles, and cuddles

——

jihoon -

one of the members actually brought up the idea of him getting you a promise ring

like one day when jihoon and seungcheol were in the studio, seungcheol asked jihoon what he was going to get for your birthday

he said that he didn't know yet

so seungcheol said maybe he could get a promise ring for you

he looked into different rings

there were two specific ones that he couldn't choose between

so he just ordered both

one for each hand

jihoon invited you to the studio one day, which isn't unusual so you didn't think anything of it

when you got there, you saw a bag sitting on the small couch

"what's that" you asked, nodding your head towards it

he looked up and said "oh it's a gift for you, open it"

obviously you opened it

after you pulled out both of the tiny boxes, he said "they're promise rings. I couldn't figure out which one to get you, so I just got both.."

you literally had hearts in your eyes while looking at him

"why are you looking at me like that"

"because this is so sweet of you to do"

somehow you made HIM blush

——

dk -

he was so cute about it

seokmin loves to spoil you

so he's always getting you little gifts

but he wanted to get you something bigger

he looked up gifts that couples get online

and thought that it would be a perfect idea to get you a promise ring

seokmin went to multiple stores to try and find the perfect ring for you

when he finally found the one he wanted, he also got flowers to go along with it

puts it on your nightstand before he leaves for work one morning

you saw it a little after you woke up

you looked at the note that was attached to the flowers

'good morning my y/n! I hope you enjoy the flowers, I made sure to get your favorite! inside the bag, there is a promise ring. I wanted to get you something sentimental that you could always have. I love you!!'

it was so sweet :((

you placed the note down so you could look in the bag

you put the ring on one of your fingers, admiring it

this was something you were going to treasure forever

——

mingyu -

asked the members for advice on what to get you for your anniversary

they all had really good ideas, but the one that stuck out the most was to get you a promise ring

he was tempted to buy like 15 rings so you could have multiple

(he was talked out of that by the others)

picked out this really cute ring that had heart stones on it

so you just know that he had to get that one

wanted to give it to you so badly

but he knew he had to wait until your anniversary

immediately gave it to you the morning of your anniversary

he looked so happy and was so smiling so wide when you opened the box

"it's a promise ring. do you like it? I thought you would like the hearts. it's the right size right?"

you were like "omg i love you thank you"

the rest of the day, you would just catch him staring at your ring

——

minghao -

you were actually with him when he bought it

you guys were on a date at the mall, just going into random stores

when you entered a jewelry shop, this one ring immediately caught your eye

minghao was busy walking around the store as you just stayed around the section that the ring was at

he noticed that you kept looking at this one specific ring

so he went up to you and asked if you wanted it

"do you want that ring? it could be like a promise ring"

you denied him, saying that it was alright and that you just thought it was pretty

minghao saw through you and knew that you wanted it

so he bought it without letting you know

he didn't give it to you until you got home though

"hey love, here's that promise ring for you"

you were a mix of confused and in love

"how did you get this without me noticing??"

"I have my ways"

"okay... well thank you. next time I go out, I'll be sure to get you something too"

he shook his head at that

"you don't have to. I wanted to get you that"

you still ended up getting him a gift too

——

seungkwan -

you brought up the idea of getting a promise ring actually

one late night when you two were just laying in bed, you told him about how cute you thought it would be to get promise rings for each other

so ever since that night, seungkwan was thinking about getting you a promise ring

he decided to go to a jewelry store on one of his days off

at the store, he found the perfect ring for you

he didn't know when to give it to you though

seungkwan decided to give it to you on one of your dates at the movies

he did it in a cute way though

he did it while handing you the snacks

"one large popcorn, one water, one promise ring.."

you almost dropped the stuff

"one what"

"one promise ring"

you handed the snacks back to him as you opened the box

"it's so pretty. thank you"

the cashier was jealous of how cute you two were

——

vernon -

he would just buy it randomly

like he just be watching tv and then an ad for couple rings would come up

vernon wouldn't buy it then

but around a week after, he would think about the ad and buy a promise ring for you

he would wait until your birthday to give it to you

you were just out with your friends and the members celebrating your birthday

then all of the sudden, vernon pulls out a box

"IS HE PROPOSING" - mingyu "wait what's happening" - chan "they grow up so fast" - jeonghan to joshua "WAIT I WASN'T READY FOR THIS" - seungcheol

vernon looked at them with wide eyes, as did you

"I'm not proposing! it's just a promise ring!"

they all went silent

"wait you got me a promise ring?? when?"

he shrugged, "like a few months ago"

"awe this is so cute" - seokmin "quick someone get the camera" - seungkwan

——

chan -

he would first see the ring when he was out shopping with the boys

chan would keep eyeing the ring

he didn't want to get it right then

so he went and asked one of the workers if they could hold the ring for him until he came back to buy it

they said yes, so he made a mental note to come back in a few days to get it

at home, chan kept wanting to tell you that he was going to get a promise ring for you

about a day after he got the ring, he would give it to you

"y/n! could you come here a minute? I have something to give to you!" he called to you from the living room

when you arrived, you told him, your hands behind your back, "I actually have something for you too"

you both agreed to show each other what you had on a count of three

"1.. 2.. 3..!"

"it's a promise ring!" "it's a promise ring"

you sat there, staring at each other in shock

turns out you both got promise rings

so you gave chan his and he gave you yours

you guys often look back on this moment with a fond smile
