“Bring ‘em in!” - Sunwoo & Eric

find more content here: the boyz masterlist

[warning: eric, sunwoo and you are lovers (aka in a poly relationship) <3]

“Sunwoo dear, why do you look so down?” Eric draped his arms around Sunwoo’s shoulder and Sunwoo plainly responded, “It’s my resting face. What about it?” Eric sighed dramatically, earning a pointed look from Sunwoo, “Sunwoo, it’s cuddles. YOU LACK CUDDLES. 

Before Sunwoo could even formulate a witty response, Eric had taken advantage of his muscular frame and pushed Sunwoo down on the couch. “Bring ‘em in!” Eric hollered. Sunwoo didn’t want to be a part of this. “Eric, let go of me you—!” 

Sunwoo's voice died down as he tried his best to not snicker at the sight beholding him. There you were, all clad in a simple nightie with tons of plushies tucked under both your arms and a fluffy headband adorning your face. You cleared your throat, “Get ready Sunwoo, because Eric and I are gonna cuddle the life outta you!” 

Eric was practically radiating excitement as you set the plushies down around the 3 of you. Sunwoo watched, amused, as the two of you made yourselves comfortable around his stagnant figure: Eric coddling him on the right while you lay your head on his lap on the left. 

“Say, are you feeling better?” You peered up at him as Eric titled his head to the right, waiting for his answer. At this point, whatever grumpiness and tiredness were thrown out of the window. Sunwoo’s lips twitched and he gave both Eric and you a peck on your cheeks, “Yeah, I am.” 

Eric cheered beside him, “I had a feeling you wouldn’t stay moody for long, so I’ve already prepared what we were gonna watch beforehand.!” “Awh yeah, movie night with my favourites!” You beamed. Sunwoo relaxed, right arm looped around a curled up Eric while his left hand carded through your hair. 

“Did someone say movie night?” Sangyeon stood by the walkway and Sunwoo huffed, a wide smile evident on his face, “Sorry hyung, you aren’t invited to this one.”

“Take a rest. I’ll wake you up when we reach.” - Jacob

“Hop in.” “Who? Me?” 

Jacob raised an eyebrow incredulously at you from inside his car, his lips turning upwards, “Yes you. Hop in. I’ll give you a lift back home.” He definitely didn’t miss out on the fact that your face turned a shade redder at his offer. 

Leaving his left hand on the steering wheel, leaned towards you who were still standing at the entrance of the company, “It wouldn’t be nice if I left you standing in the cold.” He supplied. 

Jacob saw your resolve buckle as you finally reached out for the door handle, sliding into the car next to him. “There we go! Let’s buckle you in~!” Pulling the black seatbelt over you, he securely strapped you in as you stared dumbfounded at him, “I...could have done that myself, but thank you, Leader-nim.” 

“We’re out of the company. You can just call me by my name.” Jacob waved you off and begin driving, eyes occasionally darting to you. You got comfortable as you rattled off your home address and Jacob keyed that into the GPS system. 

“Didn’t expect you to be working this late. I thought you had went off with Juyeon, Kevin or Changmin.” You sheepishly rubbed the back of your neck, “Chanhee needed some help with with the excel sheets, but he left a little earlier because he needed to do something.” 

“And by earlier you meant just after Juyeon and Changmin left?” Jacob knew you a little too well. “Yeah, but it’s alright I didn’t have any other engagement after work.” You (rather adorably) defended your colleagues as Jacob flicked the lights, signaling that he was going to turn right. He glanced at you as you stifled a yawn. As expected of his most hardworking junior working with him. 

“Take a rest. I’ll wake you up when we reach.” Jacob assured. You were mid-yawn when your eyes widened, “I...can?” “I can’t stop you for taking a short nap, right?” Jacob teased back. As the car slowed to a stop at the traffic light, he grabbed the blanket and draped it over you. 

“Sleep.” He firmly stated, patting you on the head twice before returning his attention to the road. “Thank you...Jacob.” You tucked the blanket under your chin as your eyes fluttered close. He couldn’t help but smile at your vulnerable sight, unlike your usual serious and uptight self. 

the boyz + ikea

↬ buys the required item and gets out: sangyeon, hyunjae, juyeon 

in my opinion, they would be the type not to dilly-dally 

they have a pURPOSE there and it is to get that item (or items, depending) 

juyeon would have 9/10 memorized the layout don’t ask me why it’s just a gut feeling 

|| juyeon ||  “just the shower rack?”  “oh! and juyeon, if there’s a sale for foldable boxes then let’s get those too!”  “if my baby says so~” (he could totally make this a date if he wanted to) 

|| hyunjae ||  “i think that’s everything we need. see? i’ve ticked it off this list. aren’t I reliable?” *is absolutely holding his phone up in pride*  “my hyunjae is the best!” (this meticulous boy >< he’d would check through everything for you)

|| sangyeon ||  “sangyeon, why do we have this storage unit? I don’t remember placing this into our cart...”  “oh, because lately you’ve been bringing stuff home from your workplace and i thought it would be a good place to store your file folders. then when you don’t need it we can use it for other things!” (bless this thoughtful boy) 

↬ buys everything BUT the required item: changmin, jacob

i have a hunch they would get distracted halfway (yes surprisingly jacob: househusband vibes are immaculate and bursting through the roof)

when they finally leave, they’d then realize that they didn’t get their required item and would most definitely return another day 

|| changmin || “I’M GETTING THIS PLUSHIE!!” “changmin, i literally do not have space to lie on your bed anymore.” “but it’s a shark :<” (changmin is practically begging to have another by throwing in tons of promises)

|| jacob || “i think we could use a new sofa...”  “jacob, are you sure you’re saying that not because you think the latest designs are minimalistic?” “w-what?” (he is already formulating a way to get past you and your mind games, just so he could purchase that sofa)

↬ is playing in the showrooms: sunwoo, eric, kevin

bonus if it’s all three of them together in one showroom: their energy is unmatched and uNHINGED 

i mean,, this is literally them 

|| eric || “oh my gods, this bed is so soft! we should get this bedsheet.” “eric i don’t think you’re meant to lie--” “no scratch that let’s take this entire bed with us!” (he’s basically the adult with a kid trapped inside: he’s gotta touch every single thing, lie on every single thing)

|| sunwoo ||  “hand me the files. we’ve got a case to crack.”  “why do you...sunwoo, you give me second hand embarrassment.” “that one over there seems PERFECT to continue the story of ‘how i became a chef’! let’s go!”  (you’d have to drag this tall men OUT of the showroom before some kid starts crying at the threatening faces he’s making)

|| kevin || “hey darling could you pass me the wine glasses? it’s a perfect night to celebrate my promotion!”  “...we’re not doing this, i beg you--”  “what type of wine do you prefer? red or white?” (he finds it funny that on-lookers are just watching you, with your hands over your embarrassed face)

↬ there for the food: younghoon, chanhee, juhaknyeon

(i’d like those meatballs too, please and thank you)

while it might not be their sole purpose of visiting, they’d have to make the opportunity to at least eat there because come on who would want to miss out?

|| juhaknyeon || “another round of meatballs?” “i’m full--” “that’s a yes, so let’s go~!” (meatball_luvr </3 now i don’t know if ikea does sell their meatballs like those pre-made ones but if there were, haknyeon would TOTALLY buy them in bulk) 

|| chanhee || “there’s a new release! the chocolate mandarin cake! we’ve so got to buy one!” “wait wait, chanhee what’s the occasion?” “a new release, duh!” (there’s no stopping chanhee now)

|| younghoon || “also younghoon, this is really TMI but i just saw that ikea is having a promotion for the salmon fillet and...why did we get off at this exit?” “you said ikea and promotion. we’re heading there.” “?? but ???” (younghoon would drop whatever he has for the food,, odd i know but its his little addiction)

“You’re too precious for this world.” - Juyeon

↬ summary: juyeon’s infatuation knows no bounds

↬ tags: non-idol! juyeon, gn! reader, falling in love, (the author has no idea what to write anymore)

↬ word count: 480 words

Juyeon didn’t know when it began.

Yes, “it”. Aka his “infatuation stage”.

According to Google, he was “infatuated”. What should have been a little crush that would normally last for 4 months. Well, did it last for 4 months? Absolutely not. Juyeon hasn’t been keeping track (a lie), but it has been about 6 months (another lie).

The feelings started as a small ripple, but the next thing he knew, it became a full blown tsunami. He liked that conversation flowed easily between the two of you, liked that you made him all giddy all the same, liked that you had truly enthralled and captured his heart.

Then there also came a point where Juyeon had finally accepted that this “infatuation” was more than that. He was starting to feel envious when you were with other people, starting to feel upset when you weren’t right beside him. It then dawned on him that he had fallen deeply in love with you.

[Juyeon had researched excessively and was surprised to find out that he was still amazingly in love with you wholeheartedly despite people commonly falling out of love after the infatuation stage.]

He pulls himself out of his reverie, making eye contact with you. You had pulled him aside after work, claiming that it was an “important discussion”. So this was what you had wanted to “discuss” about: the reason why Juyeon was purposely avoiding you. [In his defense, he thought that he wasn’t obvious. Guess he was wrong.]

“You’re making excuses!” You stood with your arms on your waist, gaze flitting between him and the floor.

“N-No I’m not!” The voice crack mid-sentence failed him.

“Then why do you keep avoiding me? Did I…do something wrong?” Hurt flashed in your gaze and Juyeon lifted up his hands, as if surrendering.

“It’s not that! It’s because…! I love you!” He blurted out, clammy hands running through his hair, “And because I don’t know what to do! I’ve loved you for the longest time and…argh! I sound like a bumbling fool, don’t I?” The ENFJ man sighed, hiding his face behind his hands. He wasn’t expecting himself to confess in this manner. (Truth be told, he wasn’t even planning to confess at all.)

“So you were just gonna bottle up everything in here?” You took a step closer, lightly jabbing your index finger where his heart was. He nodded, hands still over his face. You lightly pried them away from his face and if humanly possible his heart practically leapt at how close you were.

“You’re too precious for this world, Juyeon. I love you too. If…you hadn’t noticed.” You gave him a small smile. “Oh. Oh.” Juyeon exhaled and he could barely contain his happiness as his lips quirked up. He was quick to embrace you, swaying you gently side to side. In this moment, he could freely love you.

Bus Buddy - Eric

find more content here: the boyz masterlist ↬ summary: eric thinks it’s normal to have a crush on the person who takes the same bus as him in the morning  ↬ tags: student! eric, student! + gn! reader, eric is a hopeless romantic ft. student! + best friend! sunwoo ↬ word count: 684 words

Eric wasn’t observant by nature, he had definitely noticed you routinely taking the same bus as he did. It was a small matter really, but he couldn’t help but let his gaze linger on you as you boarded the bus at the same bus stop, alighting the bus just a stop before his. 

Additionally, you being at the bus stop was also a good gauge of whether he had missed the bus or not. 

The bus would habitually come around 7.15am, and Eric would usually spot you waiting with a book propped up in your hand, the school uniform tucked in neatly. (Not that he was stalking or anything, but the school uniform you donned was that distinctive: Eric didn’t have to second guess which college you were from.

In the bus, Eric always picked the last row: he didn’t want to sit upfront with so many people coming and going, whereas you preferred the seat closest to the exit to make a fast escape. Oddly enough, he’d always spend his bus ride staring at your frame, wondering if he ever caught your attention like how you did with his. 

-- 

Eric rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet, eyes darting around in an attempt to find you. Maybe…you weren't feeling well today? A sense of unease passed and Eric sighed. He was reading too much into things. His bus pulled up and he immediately started panicking again (he really shouldn't be too bothered with a passing figure, but since it was you, well…he couldn't help it), boarding it nevertheless. 

Then Eric finally saw you running in the distance and he purposely stalled the bus, fumbling (he already had it in his hand) for his wallet till you were by his side. 

You got on the bus, thanking him before Eric made his way to the back of the bus. "Hey, uhm. Thanks." Eric had so badly wanted to tuck that stray strand of hair away, but he gave a curt nod, smiling, "It's alright!" An infectious beam spread across his face, and he kept smiling all the way till he reached school.

Score 1.

--

"So~! Did you see your bus buddy today?” Sunwoo teased, earning himself a hard shove from Eric. “Firstly, you already know the answer. Secondly, who gave you the right to nickname anyone like that?” Sunwoo dramatically rolled his eyes, “Boy, have you seen yourself? Every morning, you’re the only one grinning ear to ear like a lovesick fool.” 

That was partially true: Eric on most days would drag his tired body to school. Yet, knowing that every morning meant a glimpse of you (a lot of glimpses), he paid special attention to his stature and overall appearance. It then dawned on him: he’s been sleeping earlier to wake up earlier to look his best for you—

“I’m starting to think you’re head over heels for a person you barely know.” 

--

Eric frowned as soon as he stepped foot into the packed bus. His eyes immediately shot to the back of the bus: his seat was taken. Out of all the days to have a crowd, today was NOT the day. He had a fair bit of items on him, mainly his sport gear that was bulky. 

“Over here!” You moved your bag off the empty seat next to yours and he gratefully slipped into the seat beside you. “Thanks for saving me a seat.” He strategically moved his items so he could seat comfortably. His heart was racing at the mere few inches he was away from you. The two of you sat in silence, Eric occasionally glancing at you on his left. 

“Uhm, also is there any way I could repay you for saving me a seat? I wasn’t really expecting you to do so.” Eric made eye contact. “You don’t have to. It’s alright.” You politely beamed. “I could save a seat for you next time if similar situations occur.” He promised, nodding his head. 

“I’ll hold your word to it then! And I’ll do the same for you too.” 

Score 2. 

“I love you. Contract or no.” - Juyeon

find more content here: the boyz masterlist ↬ summary: juyeon is a hungry vampire and you are a broke college student trying to make ends meet. let’s see how that bondservant contract goes.  ↬ tags: vampire! juyeon, sexual innuendo was originally part of the writing but i removed it ;9, feeding time!, gn! reader  ↬ word count: 469 words

“Hungry?” 

A low growl escaped Juyeon. He jerked his head downwards, suppressing all urges to haul you into his lap.  

“Then drink.” 

--

 Juyeon groaned, stumbling over nothing as he hid away in an alleyway. He registered a door opening, and braced himself against the wall. 

“Are you okay?” 

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clearly not expecting anyone to care about a stranger. A pair of worried eyes met his and he refocused his hazy attention back on you. “Hey you…you’re breaking out in sweat. And…and you’re super pale.” 

He wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn’t even muster much strength to stay upright at the moment. “Blood. I need…” He trailed off, blinking rapidly at how light headed he was getting. You raised an eyebrow, “Blood?” 

Juyeon internally face-palmed himself. Way to go. His knees buckled and you hurried to his side. “I’m a vampire.” He muttered pointedly. You pulled your shirt to the side, exposing your neck. “Take my blood. My supervisor is gonna start hollering for me if you don’t hurry this up.” Juyeon then realized the vest you had put on was that of a convenience store worker. 

What was he doing, going around nabbing poor part-timers like that? Reality slapped him hard in the face and he shook his head, wincing a little as he did. 

“Why aren’t you running away? Or reporting me?” “You’re dying! Or at least I think you are!” You whispered in hushed tones, eyes darting from him to the backdoor of the convenience store. “Don’t make me regret this.” Juyeon huffed, lunging for you without a second thought. 

“Oh no. I’ll make you remember this as soon as you’re sober.” 

--

“J-Juyeon.” He was pulled back from his reverie and he tightened his hold on you. Extracting his fangs from your shoulder, he licked the wounds till it healed, whispering “sorry, sorry, sorry” as he did. Juyeon grabbed the cup of water he purposely left at the bedside table and brought it to your lips. When you had drank enough, he peppered you with kisses, making sure you were feeling comfortable. 

Still in his lap, he held you flush against his now warm skin, rubbing your shoulders as you closed your eyes. “Sorry.” Juyeon apologized again. “Don’t be.” You clung onto him and he reclined back into the plush sofa. He nuzzled your neck sighing at how good you smelt (and tasted).

“No more.” You lightly pushed his face away from your sore neck and he chuckled, “Sorry love. You’re too tempting for me to stop.” A pause then Juyeon bashedly commented, “I love you. Contract or no.” You bit back a giggle, “You’re such an odd goofball. I love you too, Juyeon.”

“My sweet little bondservant. You have no idea what you do to me.”

“Anyday.” - Sunwoo

Sunwoo tucked his basketball under his arm and swung his bag over his shoulder, “You know, as seniors we ought to be more cohesive with our juniors. Should we plan a bonding day? Or maybe we can stay back after training? You know as leaders of our club we can be more friendly…”

Eric rolled his eyes, pushing in his chair whilst waiting for Sunwoo to hurry up. “Speaking of training, it is literally about to start. So if you’d stop yapping we’d be on our way--”

“Hold on isn’t that…” Sunwoo interrupted Eric’s lecture, brushing past him towards the classroom doors. “Kim Sunwoo I wasn’t done talking?!” Eric huffed and followed behind but Sunwoo paid no attention, for his focus was on you. 

Why were you outside his classroom? 

“Sunwoo.” You greeted him halfheartedly, arms locked in front of you. Sunwoo eyed you, playfully teasing “What are you doing here, squirt?” Eric stood nearby, sighing a little too loudly to signify his presence. Right, training was about to start. 

You visibly stiffened at Eric’s exhale, “Are you headed home? I kinda need a ride.” Sunwoo tipped his head towards the basketball under his arms, “No can do. I’ve got basketball practice. And it’s gonna be quite a while.” Sunwoo didn’t miss the dejected look that flashed across your face as you tilted your head down. 

You shifted your weight from one foot to the other, as if you wanted to say something more. Eric cleared his throat again and you quickly shook your head, “It’s okay then. Have a good practice you two.” As soon as you made that declaration, Eric took this opportunity to drag Sunwoo away. 

Uneasiness settled in Sunwoo’s heart and he craned his neck to glance at you through the throng of students. 

Why did you have to make him worried? 

“I’m not going.” “Going where? Training?” Eric joked, but stopped when Sunwoo ceased walking. “Sunwoo, you…don’t tell me…” 

“Captain Eric, I’m pretty sure you can handle one training without your Vice-Captain, right?” Sunwoo was already backtracking, and Eric exasperatedly threw out his hands, “Really? Really?! You do know our juniors are the noisiest bunch of children?” 

Sunwoo waved as a reassurance, sprinting away, whilst hollering, “Just get someone leader-material, uhmm, Han Jisung! The logistics leader! I’ll make it up for the next practice!” He didn’t have the time to watch Eric’s mild breakdown.

Scrambling down steps 2 at a time, he ran with all his might to the bicycle bay. Hopping onto his bike, he easily whizzed through the crowd, spotting you from afar. A pang of relief surged through his body, for you were still fine (although you were slowly dragging your feet to the school gate). 

“Yo squirt!” You flicked your head around, watching, surprised that Sunwoo was pedaling at full force. “Sunwoo?” He dismounted the bike, beads of sweat dotting his forehead, “Hop on.” 

“Don’t you have practice? (Why are you here?)” You bit back your curiosity and Sunwoo patted the empty passenger spot behind his seat. “Nevermind that. You on the other hand look like you’re about to drop unconscious. Care to explain?”

“Just a headache. A bad headache” You added on when Sunwoo raised his eyebrow (it was as if he saw through your attempt to be alright) at your initial statement. “Yeah, that just proves my point about you looking sickly. Get on, squirt. I’m taking you all the way home.” 

Sunwoo saw through your momentary hesitance and pulled you towards the seat, “Really. I mean it. You came to me, didn’t you?” The thought of you getting home faster and skipping the crowded public transport (which will aggravate your headache) won you over. Just like that, you two were on your way home. 

“Sunwoo, did you really skip practice?” “Uh no? I wasn’t needed today. Today Coach wants to focus on the juniors.” He lied through his teeth, a line rehearsed and repeated on his way down. “Okay. Not because of me right?” Worry laced your words. Sunwoo almost cooed at how adorable you were in that moment. . 

“You silly. Why would I skip practice?” He teased you (you smacked him real hard on the back), but his heart softened and added on, “You on the other hand have a knack for making me worried.” That seemed to perk you up and you held onto his waist tighter. 

“Thank you Sunwoo.” “Anyday.“
