OMG KIM BELOVED THIS IS SUHC A FUN IDEA ALREADY?? AHGH IM SO EXCITED 🤬🤬🤬‼️‼️ i love jiung ik he’s going to be funny AND ALSO YOU WROTE THIS SO WELL AS USUAL 🫶🫶

SINCERELY, YOUR SECRET ROYALTY!

001. i got into what?

WARNINGS: swearing

WC: 1152

“what why the fuck would i do that” you exclaimed as you wiped the tables off. it was 6pm, which was closing time for bees bakery. you and jiung were busy cleaning up before closing the doors officially.

“because ynnnn, it would be fun to see how the royals live dont ya think? and plus we could hopefully find you a man!!” jiung whined as he threw his cloth in the sink and started to untie his apron. “no jiung, plus i would rather eat dirt that get with one of those royals, they’re jus stuck-ups and you know it.” you said as you threw your cloth at jiung which landed in his face. “rude” he rolled his eyes.

be:lift royal high school was holding a challenge, opened to anyone, including 10 commoners. now, be:lift was never someone to do this, but with their new headmistress, mrs hwang, everything went south. she wanted to see if commoners could get along with royals, and if it was the case, she would make a new school dedicated to royals and non-royals.

“well if you ever make up your mind, you know who to call, i already signed myself in!!!” jiung said as he walked out the cafe. “bye yn!!” he screamed as you waved at him. you sighed as you loosened your apron and hung it up before getting your stuff and locking up the bakery.

the walk home wasnt too far, since you stayed with your grandpa, ben. his wife, bee, used to be the owner of the bakery before she fell ill. now she’s sitting in the hospital slowly recovering. so you being you, you decide to name the bakery after her, so that when she came out of the hospital, she could see what you had been doing.

“aera im home!!” you shouted as you walked into the house. “yn!” your grandpa called as he smiled at you. “hi benny” you smiled as you gave your grandpa a hug. “ynnie!!!” you sister called as she ran towards you. “hi ae” you said as you pulled away from the hug and turned on the tv.

“have you heard about the be:lift challenge?” aera said as she looked at you. “i have, jiung couldn’t stop talking about it today” you replied as you groaned at the thought. “eeeek! im so excited to see who get in, i heard they’re going to announce who got in today!” aera said turning her attention back to the tv. “i couldn’t careless” you said before checking your phone. “oh prince sunghoon is so dreamy, if i could go i would definitely not miss out on looking at him” aera said as she saw sunghoon on the tv. “aera!!” you said as you smacked her arm lightly. “ow! what? im jus being honest” she said as she rolled her eyes.

now you wouldn’t lie, prince sunghoon was attractive. him and his friends, who were known as enhypen, were all attractive but sunghoon had to be the most. his visuals were out of this world and the way he carried himself too was insane. he could make everyone drop what they’re doing and have all the attention on him.

“oh!! theyre going to announce right now!!” aera said as she got up to get some snacks. “stupid royals shit” you whispered under your breath and rolled your eyes. aera soon came back and turned to volume on the tv higher.

“welcome everyone to the first ever commoner student invitation to our school!” mrs hwang said as the crownd clapped hands. “the winners will be able to go to be:lift royal high school for the next 1.5 years, starting now, and will be able to do any outside activities they want.” she continued. “now lets see our winners, drum roll please” she said smiling brightly.

“ezaki hikaru”

“mark lee”

“choi jiung”

“sim yn”

you gasped. aera looked at you and started jumping up and down. “you got in!! you got in!!” she said as she shook you. you zoned out after you heard your name so you didnt know who else got in. you stared at the tv screen in disbelief, there was no way. you didnt even sign yourself up. “how?” you asked still zoned out. “i signed you in!!” aera said as she smiled at you. “aera oh my god” you groaned as your rubbed your face.

your phone started ringing. “oh my god bitch we both got in!!” jiung said as you could tell he was smiling brightly. “i didnt even sign myself up” you said as you looked at aera. “me and aera did. i did say that if we do something we do it together, payback for forcing me to work at the bakery” jiung said as he laughed at the end. “i hate you so fucking much” you said as you stood up. “i love you too, now get ready, ill see you soon” jiung said before ending the call.

“aera go get the door!” you shouted in your room. “okay” she said before she went to open the door. “here for sim yn” said a deep voice. there in the doorway stood a tall buff man dressed in an all black suit. “i’ll get get her” aera squealed. “yn yn yn!!! i think they’re here!!” aera called as she dragged you out of your room. “ae what are you-“ “hi” you said as you stopped mid sentence. “miss sim?” the man said once again. “thats me?” you asked in confusion. “im here to pick you up for be:lift royal high school, i’ll be your driver and butler for the next 1.5 years maam” he said as he took off his hat and bowed to you. “we should get going, this way miss” he said as he showed you.

“bye ynnie, im gonna miss you and also tell prince sunghoon his wife is waiting for him” she said as he laughed. “oh wow ae, like i would do that, i think ill stick with jiung and some of the other commoners” you said as you gave aera a tight hug. “bye benny, love you” you said as you went to hug your grandpa before heading towards the car.

you waved at your sister and grandpa as the car took you to the highschool. “first things first mr who-ever you are, lets get this straight, you can call me yn, no miss and that stuff alright.” you said as he drove away. “yes yn” he replied. “you name?” you said smiling at him a bit. “im mr kim namjoon miss” he said as he smiled at you. “okay mr joonie, you’re gonna be stuck with me for a while, and it wont be too easy i’ll tell you” you said as you smirked an leaned back in the car. you could tell this was going to be a long ride.

jealousy, jealousy — nrk.

trope. established relationship. overprotective / jealousy au.

synopsis. nishimura riki is stubborn and hard-headed, yet not even a fight can stop him from making sure no one bothers his girlfriend. who knew jealousy could look so good on riki? (2.1k words)

note. here’s to anon who requested for me to write jealous aus! realized i’ve never actually tried writing it before :0 the song btw has nothing to do w the fic. just stole the title

There’s nothing more unsettling than seeing you trying to talk to Nishimura Riki who is actively making it a point to avoid looking or speaking to you, despite being in the same vehicle.

Especially when you’re saying, gently, “Riki, I’m really sorry.”

Riki couldn’t bring himself to look at you. He was understandably upset, and there was an insistent voice in his head that told him to give you the silent treatment. Your boyfriend had the right to be annoyed – especially when he had spent hours prior in the day waiting for you at your favorite ice cream parlor.

It wasn’t like you had meant to stand him up on your date. You had been called back late by your teacher, and you had forgotten to inform Riki especially when your mind was a sea of responsibilities you had to tend to. And on most days, Riki would understand and forgive you in a heartbeat – even offer to help you with your workload.

He always said it was a stupid reason to be upset with, and it was in hindsight. However, it’s been a really long time since you’d last been on a date together.

With his dance competitions and your constant strive to keep your scholarship, the both of you were understandably busy. Spotting free time on both of your schedules was rare and you took every chance at spending time together when it happened.

Today was one of those days, and the plan was that you’d go on an ice cream date (just the two of you) before going to one of Jay’s famous parties. It didn’t help that Riki was particularly clingy today after having lost a spot in the Top 3 of his recent competition. He just wanted to be with you, to bask in your comfort, and to hold you in his arms as a reminder that there was always next time.

And you had accidentally robbed him of that. So, Nishimura Riki was upset with you.

“Riki–” You begin.

“Don’t.” He cut you off before you could even continue. “I don’t really want to talk to you right now.”

He surprised himself with how cold he spoke to you, guilt instantly settling in, but it was too late to take back his words. Besides, you knew never to take it to heart when Riki was upset. You’d just have to try again tomorrow, when he’d have enough time to calm himself down. So, you simply grow quiet as he pulls up the driveway of your shared friend’s house.

The night air is cold when you step out of the car, and you visibly shrug at the sudden coolness in contrast to the heat you had felt in the silence between you and your boyfriend. It’s only now that Riki allows himself to look at you. His gaze follows the gentle shaking of your shoulders and the clattering of your teeth as you wrap your arms around yourself in an attempt to warm yourself.

While he was angry, Riki was not a cruel boyfriend. Shrugging his jacket off, he places it on your shoulders gently, helping you adjust your arms in its sleeves to make sure that in the chill of the night and the air-conditioned party, you would not feel cold.

Before you can thank him, he starts walking for the door.

Poor Sunoo is unaware of the fight when you pull both of you in for a hug, bouncing in conversation and being greeted by an awkward string of responses from the both of you. He only understands the situation when you and Riki walk separate ways upon entering the party.

The music is unbearably loud, and Riki is the first one to go meet up with his friends. You walk the opposite direction in hopes of seeing a friend.

Truthfully, you did not want to be in this party right now. It was only ever fun when you were Riki, popping out an ankle biter or two as you’d make fun of the drunk teenagers around you. Time always stretched in meaningful ways when you were with him, blurred by silly dancing and excusing yourselves to pull pranks on your friends.

“(Name)!” You spot Felix, a good friend of Jake, approaching you with a smile on his face. He gives you a side hug, immediately noticing the lack of your boyfriend by your side. “Where’s Riki?” You return the warm smile at the boy, politely acknowledging him. You don’t really want to tell him you weren’t with Riki because you had a fight, so you settle with a little white lie.

“He’s downstairs. I’m looking for a friend.” Felix nods his head, patting your head before he’s called by Hyunjin. “Well, I’ll leave you to it. I’ll see you around!” With one last tap on the shoulder, Felix heads towards the direction of his friend, leaving you to walk around by yourself again.

You grow more anxious upon not spotting a single close friend in the party after roaming around the house for a good fifteen minutes. Then again, Jay’s space was huge and it’d be impossible to look through every space and crevice in search of a friend.

You had hoped maybe Yuna or Yunjin were around so you could pass time through conversation and gossip. However, fate doesn’t hand you luck tonight.

On the other side of the party, Riki is seated with his friends – Sunghoon and Jake joking around with a beer in hand as they chat about their recent flings, Sunoo off to dance with friends, Heeseung and Jay busying themselves to make sure the partygoers were accommodated with enough food and drinks, and Jungwon who is concerned why his friend is awfully quiet tonight with the absence of your usual figure next to him.

“Where’s (name)?” Jungwon starts.

“We had a fight.” Riki’s response is pointed as he glances at Jungwon before going back to people-watching. It’s like he doesn’t want to say it. Riki hates fighting with you – and while it was normal to occasionally fight in healthy relationships, it didn’t mean Riki hated it any less. However, he was stubborn and hardheaded, and that insistent voice has not left his head.

“Oh. I’m sorry to hear that.” Jungwon blinks, unsure of how to respond. He wasn’t sure if Riki wanted him to keep pushing at the topic or not. Going for the safe option, Jungwon keeps his mouth shut as he excuses himself to go help Jay and Heeseung.

While heading for the kitchen, Jungwon spots you seated on another couch in the living room, scrolling through your phone. Next to you is Chaewon who looks like she’s in a peaceful slumber despite the loud music and the crowd of people.

When you catch sight of the boy, he waves at you politely before he disappears into the crowd.

You hum to yourself. You suppose you should just leave in a bit after Chaewon wakes up. Besides, it wasn’t really a bother having her lean her head on your shoulder, and you didn’t really want to wake her to leave the party you had just joined.

You’re less fortunate with the man seated on your left.

He had been trying to talk to you the whole time you were looking for a friend (after Felix had left your side), and he had sat down next to you the moment you grew tired.

When Jungwon disappears, the boy next to you perks up and starts quizzing you on your name, which school you went to, what year you were in. He honestly seemed friendly, noticing your lack of mood for the party and attempting to lighten it up a little. But, you did not feel like answering him.

Perhaps he was trying to make a friend, but you were too preoccupied on how you were going to apologize to Riki tomorrow. And, he was being a little too creepy about not leaving you alone.

He tries asking you open-ended questions, tries to be quirky by asking conversation-inducing questions, but you really had nothing to say that might be of interest to him.

“You look like you aren’t enjoying yourself.” You’re ripped out of your thoughts at his constant efforts at a conversation, and when you start to feel properly awkward, you feel his arm slide behind you, dangling on the couch and inching impossibly closer to you. Maybe he wasn’t trying to make a friend after all.

You silently pray in your head for Chaewon to wake up so you could peel yourself away from the situation.

You stutter over your own words, trying to think of a way to tell him you really weren’t in the mood to have a conversation with a stranger, and you’re sure Riki wasn’t too big of a fan of someone else trying to be touchy with you.

While you appreciated his efforts at trying to make you enjoy yourself, you can’t help but think that he had ulterior motives, and you were sure your boyfriend wouldn’t appreciate that.

Was the oversized jacket you’re wearing not clue enough that you had a boyfriend?

“Yo, who’s that next to (name)?” Riki’s ears perk up at the mention of your name, back straightening as he tries to listen in on Jake and Sunghoon’s conversation.

“Riki, I think someone’s trying to chat your girlfriend up.” Sunghoon looks behind him to look at Riki who has grown intimidatingly silent at his comment. Motioning over to where you’re seated, Riki pushes himself off from the couch, peering over in search of his girlfriend in the crowd.

Jake and Sunghoon were right. In his view, he spots a stupid looking boy trying to impress you – and you were clearly not having it. Riki feels his head start to ache and his fists clench by his side. He grips his phone tighter, knuckles turning white at the sight that greets him.

The icy grip of jealousy that seeps through his veins is overwhelming. You’re smiling politely at the boy, and Riki knows you’re trying to think of a million ways to get away from the situation. He doesn’t understand why he feels jealous. It’s not like you even wanted to talk to that boy.

Then it clicks. Maybe that’s why. Because here you were, seated with some boy who has his hand on your shoulder when it should’ve been him. And all of this is happening just because he was upset at you for your lack of communication from a while ago.

Nishimura Riki couldn’t take it anymore.

Locked and loaded behind gritted teeth and popping veins on his neck, he makes his way through the crowd, stopping right in front of you and the cause of his annoyance. “The fuck do you think you’re doing?” Riki glares down at the boy beside you. “That’s my girlfriend, so get your hands off her.”

The sight of Riki is enough to send bullets of sweat down the boy’s forehead. With a newfound fear, the boy straightens up from his seat, pulling his arm off of you before raising it in defeat. “Dude, my bad. She was here alone, how should I have known she had a boyfriend?”

“Go fuck yourself.” Riki’s face flashes in your direction and his features soften at a ridiculously fast pace. He reaches out to take your hand in his before gently tugging you off of the couch, apologizing to Chaewon in the process while he takes you outside.

Riki pulls you in for a hug. He doesn’t care how upset he was with you, he needed to make sure you were okay. With his hand running through your back and his lips pressed on top of your head, he feels his mood instantly lighten.

He pulls away, brushing your hair off your face before asking quietly, “Are you okay?”

You thought about it for a second before nodding your head, smiling gratefully at him. You know he was upset with you (he might still be), and Riki tended to be stubborn and hardheaded when it came to arguments. It was just nice to know that even then, he always had your back. Even if he was angry or upset or annoyed, you knew you could always count on him to be there for you.

“You wanna go home?”

You nod your head, scooting closer to him. He knows that you just need him so he takes your hand in his, leading you over to where he had parked the car. “Maybe some ice cream to make it up to you?”

“Okay. I’m still upset, by the way.”

“I know. I love you.”

“...Love you too.”

The Forest is alive - Beomgyu x Reader

Fae!Beomgyu x human reader

notes : gender neutral terms, mentions of woodland creatures obviously, mythical terms n stuff, i dont know a whole lot about mythology so bear with me :)

word count : 2744 words

“Isn't it beautiful!” Beomgyu called out towards you, the natural glitter on his cheeks shining brightly. He looked like he could rival the sun. He was truly in his element. This moment made you reminisce on how the two of you had come to meet.

The two of you had met two years ago, deep inside the forest just next to your home. You hadnt moved in recently or anything but you didnt go outside much anymore. The forest always scared you, it felt alive. Something about it kept you away. That was until one year while your family was off on a trip, you had stepped out to tend to their garden for them.

But when you looked towards the forest, there was something blue and glowing in front of you. It was about the size of a water bottle and just floated in front of you. It looked like blue fire and it caught your attention. Something about it was so enticing that you found yourself walking towards it without much thought.

Once close enough to touch it, you reached out to curiously tap the little blue flame. As soon as your finger went to make contact with the little blue wisp it disappeared, causing you to jump back a bit. Confusion took over you as you glanced around before spotting another one, this time closer to the forest. Once again, it was like it was calling your name.

“Y/n… y/n come here..”

It whispered, sounding far away and all around you all at the same time. Mesmerized, you once again began following the wisp. Yet again as soon as you were close enough to touch it, it disappeared and reappeared somewhere else. You let a small smile spread across your lips as you followed the wisps deeper and deeper into the forest. The sun shone on the leaves, giving them a shiny glow on the dew.

Once inside the forest there was a whistling sound to your left, causing you to snap your head over and look. That's when you realized how deep you were in the forest. That you were definitely lost. Suddenly the whistling picked back up again to your right, causing you to turn towards it again. What is going on? You knew there was always something off about the forest.

“Hello?” You asked cautiously, eyes still scanning the trees. A twinkle of laughter rang out in the deep of the trees at your voice. It sounded like whatever or whoever it was is just circling you, the sounds constantly moving.

“Are you lost? You shouldn't have followed the wisps.” A honey-like voice whispered into your ear. You whipped around out of fear, how had someone gotten so close? Before realizing nobody was there. What the hell?

“Who.. who are you? What's going on?” You spoke up nervously, now not able to stand still. You continuously turned to make sure nobody could sneak up on you. This is why you didn't trust the forest, it was like it was alive.

Then finally, you saw a figure in the trees. You stopped to watch the figure nervously before seeing a man walk out of the shadowed area. He was wearing a dirty gray hoodie, the thing having rips and the colors washed and faded like it had been sitting in the sun for years. He wore equally dirty jeans only without the rips that the hoodie donned. His hoodie was halfway unzipped, hanging off his left shoulder. He was undeniably beautiful, a coy smile on his lips and flowers following wherever he stepped.

“You're lost aren't you? You shouldn't be here.” The man spoke as he continued to approach you. There was something inhuman about him even if he seemed like a normal person. You took a cautious step back, which caused him to stop.

“Do you talk at all, little human?” He egged you on, head tilting with his question. Although it seemed like more of a teasing comment than genuine question. Wait, little human? Was he not human?

“What do you mean by little human?” You countered with furrowed brows, refusing to take your eyes off of him. Laughter bubbled up from his chest at your words, his eyes crinkling.

“Oh, you don't know? Isn't it obvious?” He laughed, you couldn't read him. What were his intentions? “The forest is alive.. Do you not know of the tales? Of faes, gnomes, and elves?”

You just continued to stare at him with a confused look. What in the world was he talking about? Sure the forest felt off but there was no way it was truly alive like you worried. Those were all fairy tale creatures, not real things.

“Wow.. you really are clueless!” He exclaimed with another laugh. “You should really be glad I found you before the elves.” He continued as he began approaching you again.

“Well then c’mon human, I'll bring you out of the forest. Maybe now you can read up about the creatures here before you offend the wrong person.” He started as he walked past you, turning to look at you and wait for you to follow.

“Why should I just blindly follow you? What even are you?” You questioned. You didn't want to follow this random man, especially not after he confirmed he wasn't human. Sure he was undeniably ethereal but he could be leading you to your death for all you know.

The man just smiled another beautiful smile at you, turning to fully face you. “Now why would I trick you, i've been kind so far.” He responded with a fake pout. You didn't trust him. Did you even come from the direction he was facing?

“Just come, we can talk along the way.” He continued to encourage you to follow him and honestly, what else could you do? He could kill you here or bring you to another spot of your demise, or you could take the gamble and maybe be taken home.

“...Fine” You gave in, walking towards him with an obviously apprehensive look. He just smiled in response and turned around to begin walking.

“Follow me then!” He called out, glancing back once more before a mischievous smile spread onto his face and he began to run. He expertly hopped over roots and easily navigated the forest, practically disappearing into the woods.

“Shit, wait if you want me to follow!” You exclaimed, eyes widening as you processed for a second before running after him in the direction he went. Something about him was so alluring. Perhaps you were being stupid, so easily fooled by a pretty boy with a honey voice but what else could you do? At least he gave you a chance of getting home.

The twinkles of his laughter kept you going somewhat in the right direction for a few minutes until you were panting, slowing down a bit. Suddenly you noticed the silence around you which brought you to a stop. The sun was beginning to set around you, the forest darker than it had been when you first entered.

“Boo!” Sounded from right next to your ear after almost a minute of silence, ripping a scream out of your throat as you jumped back to see the same man again right behind you.

“What the fuck!” You cried out, hand on your chest as he just laughed at your fear. He was practically doubled over and honestly his laughter was like music to your ears.

“Sorry, sorry. It's in my nature.” He said in between giggles before straightening back up. “Let's continue, I won't run this time.”

You didn't understand what he meant by it being in his nature, but you just nodded while slightly glaring at him. You were getting annoyed but didn't say anything. He also didn't seem to care whatsoever, still smiling as he began to walk like he had promised.

You followed him somewhat closely, not wanting to lose him again in the forest. It was silent as the two of you traveled together, just the sound of birds and crickets filling the air.

The two of you walked for what felt like centuries before suddenly your foot caught on something, causing you to tumble and fall with a yelp. Instead of catching you, the man watched with a snort and giggle while covering his mouth. You looked up at him from your spot on the ground to see his foot extended where you had fallen.

“What was that for you asshole?” You had a frown on your face as he just giggled, outstretching a hand to offer to help you up even though he had been the one to trip you.

“Couldn't help it, you were getting too comfortable.” He snorted. You didn't understand why that made him trip you though, but you were beginning to notice a pattern in his trickster tendencies.

“Whatever.” You grumbled before hesitantly going to take his offered hand before he yanked it away. You glared at him as he laughed again before offering it to you a second time. You just stared at him for a few seconds before reaching out for his hands once again, this time he didn't pull it away. Easily, he pulled you up into a standing position.

“Just a bit farther, human.” He stated simply as he then didn't release his hold on you, beginning to pull you along with him. What the hell?

“Let go of me.” You demanded with furrowed brows but he just shook his head and continued on.

“Nope! You're funny when you're mad. That and the woodland creatures get antsy at night.” He replied and didn't explain any further. That caused you to notice how it really was getting dark, only a bit of the sun still up. With the idea of the woodland creatures targeting you, you let up and let him hold your hand.

“So, the wisps brought you here right? Wonder why they waited so long. Usually humans are brought in as children.” The man spoke simply as you two walked, glancing at you for a response. You didnt really want to talk to him as he made you nervous, but there was also something in you that wanted to converse with him. It wanted him to be fond of you.

“I didnt go outside much as a kid. The forest scared me.” You replied after a few seconds which made him snort.

“Really? You were already afraid? Thats new.”

“Why do the wisps bring children?” You then pushed, getting curious. None of this made sense.

“Do you not know the story of wisps?” He asked and watched as you shook your head. With a playful roll of his eyes he began talking.

“The wisps can be little faeries or spirits from a creature or a human's past life. They lead wanderers and unsuspecting humans to treasure or to their demise. It fully depends on the wisps you meet as some are more malicious than the others. Some wisps that were human like leading people to good things but it doesn't happen often. Really they lead you to your fate.” He explained, not sparing you a single glance.

“You must've been lucky enough to run into a kind wisp as they brought you to me. That or they intended for something else to find you. Although you may not think of this as a good thing.” He chuckled a bit at the end, like he knew something you didn't. He spoke like you wouldnt be getting rid of him anytime soon, which was worrying. Hed take you home and youd never see him again, right?

“How does that correlate with them bringing children?” You decided to ask, still curious.

“Human children are gullible and easy to influence. They're used for things like servants, lovers, given to the devil, used for entertainment, and more. Really they could be used for a multitude of things depending on the creature.”

“Oh.” You said with wide eyes. None of those options sounded anywhere near ideal, how does all of this happen with nobody knowing? Then you remembered all the story books and things you've written off and fake and made up. Now youre realizing just how real those mythical stories are.

“What's your name, human?” He then suddenly asked, looking over at you. Something about the question felt wrong and it felt like the forest stilled. Something in you screamed at you to not answer.

“..(your nickname)” You finally replied hesitantly which made him smile and his eyes glinted with interest.

“You're smarter than I expected.” He replied before facing forward again. You don't really know what you just avoided, but it must've been something important with how he reacted.

“Are you really taking me back? It's been a while.” You spoke up around ten more minutes later as you squint your eyes at him. You were beginning to feel more and more lied to, it didn't take you this long to enter the forest.

“Yes, (nickname) I am. I cannot lie so you'll be home eventually.” He responded. “The forest can be unpredictable and moves, you came in much deeper than you realize. Just a bit longer and you'll be home.”

All of this was so weird and confusing, all of this mythical forest shit about the forest being alive. But true to his words five minutes later the edge of the forest began to appear. You saw the lights inside of the house shining through the trees which made you smile. Finally!

“Now, now (nickname) before I let you go, let's talk a bit.” The man suddenly said, tightening his hold on your hand and keeping you with him. You furrowed your brows once again and tried to pull your hand away but he was relentlessly strong. You suddenly remembered that he was truly a mythical creature you didn't understand or know anything about.

“Now that I've helped you out, you're in debt to me. So get ready to see me around a lot. You're interesting so I'll stick around.” He began with an almost serious look before smiling. “You should feel honored that I even let you live! I'm a fae after all, look it up once you're back inside.”

Your eyes widened at his words, you were indebted to some mythical woodland creature? That couldn't be good. Hell what if he made you some kind of servant later on? You were fucked. You instantly made a mental note to read up on faes and see what he was talking about, you had assumed he was a somewhat harmless creature.

“Now off you go! Ill see you around human.” He finally released your hand and lifted up his other to wave at you. But once he began to take a step back you took a step towards him, surprising even yourself.

“Wait! What's your name?” You asked, watching him intently. You somewhat understood that it was something important to know names but you also just wanted something to refer to him as seeing as you would see him around.

“Hmm.. you can call me Gyu for now, human.” He replied after a few seconds of consideration. Soon after saying it he smiled before disappearing further into the trees. You stood there and stared until his gray hoodie could no longer be seen.

Finally you turned around and walked back to your house, honestly a bit quickly. What had just happened? Seriously what the hell.

As soon as you were inside you closed and locked the door behind you, just staring forward as you processed. The forest was really alive? It didnt feel real, none of that did. Had you been out there for hours? It hadnt felt horribly long but you were out there long enough for the afternoon sun to set.

Deciding to take up the man, now dubbed Gyu’s advice you immediately went to the computer in your fathers workspace. You stayed up all that night researching the woodland creatures that you used to see as just stupid fairytales. It caused you to realize how lucky you really were to get out of that situation alive. It also made you way more wary for the time to come, now knowing that you were indebted to a fae.

sunghoon took a deep breath and walked into the place he would be seeing for a bit more often now. being a highschool student wasn’t easy, especially if you were relying on your parents money. thats when sunghoon took the initiative to get a job, it wouldn’t be so hard would it?

well, 2 coffee shops and 2 restaurants later, here he is standing in the door way of blessed sight coffee shop, his last and only hope. being fired from your previous jobs can really bruise ones ego.

from that day that he got fired for the 4th time, he swore he would never look for a job again. that was until he caught a glimpse of blessed sight on the way home one day. to his luck, they were looking for more employees. so of course sunghoon took the initiative to sign up for the last time. he promised himself that if this job didnt work out then he decided that it would be final and he would never apply for a job again until university.

he sighed once again as he approached the counter of the shop. he looked around at the decor, and found it very amusing as it was all neutral colours with greens and had jus one very bright pink plush popping out. he smiled as he appreciated the inside of the shop.

“hi! you must be sunghoon?” your manager said as she popped out of no where. sunghoon jumped back slightly before nodding his head. “okay cool, im kim chaewon, the manager here!” she said as she stuck out her hand for sunghoon to shake. he looked down at her hand and shook it and nodded. “im about to take you to your mentor, they will be showing you around for the next week until you’re settled! if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask me or one of the other workers.” chaewon said as she smiled at him once again. “lets go!” she waved him and started leading the way.

“yn! love!” chaewon said as she called your name. she smiled when you appeared. you smiled at her and quickly fried your hands with a cloth before turning to her and hugging her. “okay so sunghoon this is yn, they will be your mentor for the week” chaewon said as she stepped aside so that sunghoon could see you.

he looked up from his shoes and made eye-contact with you. he sucked in a breath as he studied your appearance. you were wearing your uniform, a plain white dress shirt with a pair of beige pants. your black apron in the front was covered in flour and had a cloth hanging from it.

to him, you were probably the most good looking person he had ever met. the way when you smiled while talking to chaewon, to the way your eye’s crinkled when laughing at something she said. his cheeks started turning red as he realised he was daydreaming.

“im sunghoon” he said after he cleared his throat and held his shaky hand out for you to shake. “yn, i hope we get along” you said as you smiled and shook his hand. you noticed how his hands were shaking but you thought it was because of the nerves.

“now i need to leave, sunghoon i promise youre in good hands, no need to stress about anything okay? we will help you!!” chaewon said as she smiled at sunghoon once more. “bye yn!” “bye chae!” you said as you smiled and turned back to sunghoon. “okay so lets get you some uniform first, follow me” you said as you guided him to the room with all the uniform pants.

after sunghoon had put on his uniform pants and an apron, he came out and looked for you. “lets go” you said as you grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him to your station that was currently closed. “starting off, do you have any experience working in a coffee shop? do you know how to bake?” you asked as you looked at him.

he was pretty. who were you kidding he was handsome. the way his platinum hair fell in front of his eyes and his moles on his face were pretty as ever. “i know how to make coffee and tea, i jus dont know how to make those art works on top. i also dont really know how to bake” sunghoon said as he rubbed the nape of his neck. “okay thats something i can work with. do you know how to make boba?” you asked. he shook his head no. “lemonade?” he once again shook his head no. “not even frappuccino’s?” he shook his head no.

you sighed as you realised this was gonna be a lot of work for you. not that you minded, because it definitely meant you could spend more time with the new hot worker of yours. sunghoon on the other hand felt bad for you. he knew almost nothing about coffee shops and baking, he doesn’t even know how he got this job with no experience at all.

“okay well we better get started, learning you all this wont happen over night!” you said as you smiled at him for some comfort. he nodded his head and started paying attention to what you were saying.

at the end of the first day, sunghoon had managed to learn how to make Frappuccino’s and boba. he was a fast learner, a dedicated one too. though he made many mistakes, you reassured him that it was only natural for that to happy on day 1.

“bye sunghoon!” shouted from a distance and started walking home. you didn’t live that far from the café, jus a few blocks away. “yn wait!” sunghoon called. he didnt know why he did but the least he could do was walk you home from all the help today. “let me walk you home” sunghoon said as he let out a breath. your eyes widened before you nodded.

walking in the moonlight home was very beautiful to say the least. sunghoon really was shining with the moon light that was reflected on him. he hands were in his pockets as he breathed out the cool air. “you did well today” you said as you looked at the moon. “i did” sunghoon asked as he looked up at you. you nodded while smiling. he thought you smiling was the prettiest thing he’s ever seen.

the following few days was a breeze. working with sunghoon wasn’t too difficult of a task, since he was dedicated and moved swiftly as you taught him. it also probably helped that you two had grown closer these few days and he was more comfortable.

today was learning how to make latte art. you saved the hardest for last since you knew it was gonna take him a few tries before he gets it 100% right.

“you ready hoon?” you asked as the nickname slipped out of your mouth. he blushed at the nickname and nodded his head. “i didnt know you thought about me” he teased as he walked over to where you were. “since when are you such a tease huh?” you said as you looked at him and crossed your arms. “i dont know” he shrugged as he walked even closer to you.

now you two were standing a few centimetres apart for each other. you looked up at him and sucked in a breath as you realised how close you two were. his lips parted slightly as he looked at your lips and then back at your eyes. you felt him lean in so you closed your eyes and leaned in with him.

your lips were about to touch until someone interrupted you two. “yn! sunghoon!” chaewon exclaimed as she popped out of no where. you two both pulled back abruptly as your face started turning red. “hi chaewon!” you said as you smiled, trying to ignore the fact that she almost saw you and sunghoon kiss. “so! its sunghoons last day as an intern, i jus wanted to see if hes doing well” she said as she smiled at him. he nodded his head and gave a small smile towards her.

“okay good! ill see you later yn!” chaewon said as she winked at you. you smiled and waved her off. once she was out of your sight, you let out a deep breath and looked at sunghoon, who was already looking at you while smirking. “what” you said as you got the milk ready for the latte art. “nothing” he said as he shook his head.

“yeah, and then your gonna- no sunghoon wait” you said as you tried to explain to him how to do the latte art. sunghoon sighed as he messed up again. “hey calm down” you said as you stood behind him with a hand on his shoulder, slowly rubbing it. “no need to rush” you continued in a soft voice for him. he nodded as he went back to trying.

“yeah, then you’re gonna tilt you cup and poor it in slowly, like that” you said as you guided him through the process. “okay here” you said as you placed your hands on top of his to help him. “jus shake it slowly like this and then lift the cup up and go straight through the middle.” you said with your hands still on his. his face was close to yours, you could see his beautiful side profile and his moles clearly. “i got it” he said as he smiled and turned his head to look at you. “mhm you did” you said as you smiled back at him.

“one last try okay” you said as you made one last latte for him. he picked up the milk and did as you instructed him to do. once he got to the end, he made a beautiful heart and gave it to you to look. “yeah exactly like this” you said as you inspected the cup and looked up at him. “well done hoon” you said as you placed the cup down and clapped your hands. “couldn’t have done it without you honestly, thank you” he said as he looked at you. you waved him off and laughed.

closing time was always the best. you had the whole coffee shop to yourself and could close up at your own time. however, sunghoon had been staying with you recently because he insisted on walking you home every night as a thank you.

you locked the coffee shop door and slowly made you way besides sunghoon. “well done on you week!! today was you last day, how are you feeling?” you asked as you smiled at him. “it was tough i wont lie, learning all these new skills but i think i got the best tutor so its all cool” he said as he looked at you while you laughed. “but i will say, ill miss being around you” he said as he looked away from you. “ill miss your company too hoon” you said biting you bottom lip to prevent a smile from forming.

sunghoon then stopped in his footsteps. you halted in yours too. “sunghoon? are you okay?” you said as you furrowed your eyebrows and walked closer to him. “yn i jus, ugh, look i think you’re really good looking and the energy you radiate is so comforting and i think i really really like you, even though its only been a week and i do not not wanna be around you” sunghoon said in one breath as he looked at you seriously.

you stood there shocked. you looked at him for a few seconds before finally answering. “sunghoon, its not too early because honestly i feel the same, but its kinda insane that someone as pretty as you is into me so” you said as you trailed off slightly. you then felt a hand grab you by your waist and pull you closer. you squealed in surprise as your hands landed on his chest.

you looked up at him once again. “then go on a date with me, please?” he asked whispering to you. “yes” you replied immediately as you smiled at him.

his eyes darted down to your lips and back up to your eyes. he then smiled before leaning in to kiss you. you closed your eyes at the feeling of his lips on yours. his lips were soft, and they moulded perfectly together with yours. you pulled away from the kiss as you rested your forehead against his. “you’re kinda cute you know that” you said as you smiled at him. “as long as im yours, i’ll always be cute to you” he said while kissing your forehead.

maybe working at this coffee shop wasnt such a bad idea after all for sunghoon.

i.

YOU STARED AT THE BIRD YOU’D JUST PAINTED ON YOUR CANVAS, AND ALTHOUGH YOU THOUGHT YOU’D DONE PRETTY WELL, IT WAS STILL LIFELESS. YOU JUST COULDN’T FIND THAT INSPIRATION—THAT OOMPH—THAT YOU NEEDED TO REVITALIZE YOUR INSPIRATION.

You needed something to completely steal your heart and capture your attention; something that would have you only drawing that subject. You’d take anything at this point.

Pretty soon though, everything was going to change; you weren’t sure how much longer you could just stow yourself away in your room and paint and draw to your heart’s content. 

Soon, you were going to be married to someone you’d never even met. 

“_____! Come out from there, the Duke and his family are here!” 

Your mother’s voice rang out in the halls, and you tensed a bit; breath catching your throat. 

It was time.
