NCT Dream: Sharing Weirdly Intimate/romantic Moments With Them+ Shotaro & Sungchan

NCT Dream: Sharing weirdly intimate/romantic moments with them + Shotaro & Sungchan

Mark and Haechan are included in NCT 127 version -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ❁ [Renjun] you have an eyelash on your face; Probably the most innocent yet weirdly romantic action of the bunch. When he reached up to move the little nuisance he got a really good look at your eyes and he liked what he saw. The way the sun reflected in them and he could see every colour, every fleck, every detail. A super cliche moment, but the tone was set when both of your breaths hitched and you felt like you were really seeing each other for the first time; a moment of romantic tension that made your heart skip. Sometimes it's hard to talk to him because you can feel him staring into your soul and while the attention isn't unwelcome, it's hard to get used to. You're always asking him what he's staring at, and he'll laugh bashfully and say it's nothing but his eyes are already flicking back to yours and he can't stop himself from taking in your features now that he's really appreciating them.

❁ [Jeno] "I don't know why I'm telling you this"; the kind of intimacy that is brought on by sharing secrets. You were sat there talking for hours, one topic led to another and then suddenly he was going off on a tangent you weren't sure you were supposed to be hearing. "Sorry, I just feel like you get it," he told you, his face a little apologetic. Jeno reminds of that closeness where you know each other maybe a little too well, and even if you're slower with revealing secrets of the same calibre, Jeno makes you feel extra special by choosing to tell you these things. The kind of intimacy where he feels anxious to see you, you're always hearing about how he's looking for you, the relief he shows visibly when he finally gets to talk to the person who understands him.

❁ [Jaemin] falling asleep together; Whether the relationship was romantic or platonic, falling asleep next to Jaemin was unavoidably amorous. It was a pretty full on day for the both of you, and barely any time to sit and rest before you were on the move again, so when you finally got back to his and thought to wind down, it was pretty inevitable that you'd both fall asleep. It was that fluttery feeling when you knew you were dozing on his shoulder and was conscious of the fact that he made no effort to move you. Also, falling asleep and feeling 100% comfortable enough to not set an alarm and just accept you'd wake up when you were rested. The added shared laughter when he tells you about a weird dream he had while snickering at your bed-head, wiping the sleep out of your eyes and arguing about whose going to be the one to leave the cosy confines of the bed first.

❁ [Chenle] having the same sense of humour; That bonding moment when someone laughs at the joke that you thought nobody would get. Now Chenle sees you as one of the funniest people he knows and your ears are blessed with his unique laugh all the time because you know just what will set him off. He loves hearing the way you tell stories because nobody does them justice like you do, and there's the romanticism of talking in what feels like your own bubble because people often struggle to laugh with the two of you. When something trivial happens to him, you're the first he seeks out or calls impromptu because he knows you'll find it the most entertaining. Expect to look up mid-way conversation and be greeted with a lot of confused stares because you're teary eyed from laughter and nobody, apart from Chenle, are sure that it was even that funny to begin with.

❁ [Jisung] eye contact; An action so simple, yet when someone is as awkward as you and Jisung, eye contact is hard to come by. It was when you were telling a story, and you had to keep flicking your eyes to his chin and forehead because his eyes were burrowing into yours and you couldn't tell where this uncharacteristic behaviour was coming from. The eye contact expanded to other forms of physical closeness, how he'd not move or flinch if you came to stand by him, he didn't shrug you off if you placed a hand on his shoulder or in his hair. Your group of friends would always act exaggeratedly shocked because Jisung didn't let anyone cling to him usually, yet here you were, ruffling his hair playfully and he was smiling just as much as you were. "It's different with you," he'd mutter abashedly, looking down, his bravery suddenly dwindling.

❁ [Shotaro] you're the only two people that know each other; That feeling of utter relief when you were pure dreading an event where you thought you didn't know anybody, and suddenly a familiar face is staring straight at you. That bond where you spend the whole day pretty much plastered to each other and people keep asking you how you met and you can have the satisfaction of telling them you're already friends. If the event you were attending told you to get into pairs, he's that feeling of comfort because he's already smiling at you because of course you'll be a pair. When the day is done, you now have the renewed closeness of experiencing it together and it's a conversation you always fall back on, and you remember it fondly because you can only imagine how awkward you'd have felt if he wasn't there.

❁ [Sungchan] When he's visibly comforted by your presence; It's a nice feeling to see Sungchan physically drop his shoulders and breathe out when you enter a room. You weren't quite sure where this bond originated from, but he saw something in you that was very comforting and now you were the person he always clung to at gatherings. He didn't necessarily have to be standing next to you the whole time, but it was just knowing you were in the same room, hearing your voice and laugh, seeing your form in his periphery. That strangely romantic feeling of sharing glances across a room and when you have to leave, the slightly frantic look in his eye before you promise that you'll be back in a second.

NCT 127: How they would be as coworkers in a shitty office

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

❁ [Taeil] King of the welcome wagon; If it was your first day working in a small dinky business, Taeil will make it his sole responsibility to make the environment as inviting as possible. After all, the business wasn't some glamorous well known company, nor was it an exciting new start up, so Taeil made it his mission to paint the office as pretty as he could before you could decide if the job was too boring to keep. If you ask any of his co-workers they'll tell you nobody put him in charge of welcoming the newbie, but it seemed everybody but you noticed him do a double take at the receptionist's desk where you waited to be shown around. Soft moments included him making you a coffee every time he left to make his own, making a point of clearing a little space in the communal fridge for your lunch and hanging around while trying to maintain a respectful distance in case you had any queries so he could be the first to answer them. If you were low-key dreading your first day, you kinda forget about the nerves quickly because of his kindness and tells you cheerfully "See, we don't bite." Will make sure you have everything you need, down to the last sticky note and ball point pen, and smiles bashfully at you when you go to thank him.

❁ [Johnny] cheesy office romance; It was quite impressive really, the fact that Johnny managed to unlock every single office romance cliche you could think of and he wasn't subtle about it either. Though there was no policy really about dating co-workers, the whole situation was a tiny bit embarrassing given the blatant flirting from the titan walking around in his shirt and tie, always throwing devilish smiles from over the photocopier. Even if his desk was miles away from yours, there would always be an excuse to stroll by your work space to drop off some paperwork personally, or remind you of the meeting happening in the afternoon despite the email reminder going around. Johnny really put his bladder through it since he now took too frequent trips to the water cooler that was so conveniently placed next to your desk. The whole office gagged when you finally agreed to go for drinks after work. The hours were spent buying each other pints and admiring him with his tie loosened and shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing the delicate tattoos that decorated the skin there before calling it a night and letting him kiss you on your porch after walking you home. You kind of became the height of office gossip, which Johnny thrived in, but you couldn't really be mad when you were dating that tall glass of water after all.

❁ [Taeyong] The receptionist with first aid training; Stapling your finger was embarrassing enough, imagine the heat flooding your cheeks when the receptionist appears at your desk clutching the first aid kit, big kind eyes glancing at your finger empathetically. Taeyong was the first face you saw when you walked through the door, that alone making a wonderful first impression, also he was a very diligent worker. He never made a fuss when you asked him to fax something, make a memo or photocopy, and when you had to ring the office because you left your keycard and needed to be let in, he laughed that off with you too while assuring that it happened all the time. On the blasted day you aimed the stapler at your paper but instead caught your finger, Taeyong was the first to perk from behind his desk at your exclamation of "Ow!" and was by your side before you knew it. He apologised profusely at the sting of an anti-bacterial wipe and wrapped your finger gingerly in a plaster, his chair scooted towards you and your knees bumping occasionally. You were pretty sure every female in the office was crushing on him and you were one of many, but you couldn't help the blush when you received a private IM chat asking if you wanted to get coffee after work: "Date? :)" he wrote at the end of the message. You wasted no time typing on your computer a reply, sneaking a glance at his face from behind the desk and exchanging a smile before looking busy once again.

❁ [Yuta] The guy that lowkey terrified you; Yuta was the co-worker that, whether it was on purpose or not, pushed you away with sheer intimidation and sinfully good looks. When you first encountered him in the office you were sure he was a model undercover, and when that was debunked you were sure he must have had a much higher level and higher paying job than you. His presence read corporate, the cologne you sometimes caught a whiff of smelt expensive and you could easily picture him in a big leather chair in a tall glass building barking orders at people. What surprised you was behind the intimidating aura, lay the humility of any of your other co-workers. All it took was one painfully awkward conversation in the break room and with the power of pointless small talk you learnt that his weekend plans didn't involve a modelling side hustle like you expected, but rather being a homebody, watching animated movies and cooking dinner for one instead. When you did finally enter an established relationship with him, expect impulsive moments like being tugged into the copier room so he can press his lips to yours and run his hands through your hair, or intense staring contests when other male co-workers demanded your attention. Overall, he was terrifying, but his redeemable qualities involved making dates after work so you had something to look forward to, buying your favourite cake during office parties and volunteering to do overtime with you so you would always be entertained.

❁ [Doyoung] The manager that scares you shitless; For the position of local branch manager, Doyoung exuded way more power and intimidation than what was probably warranted. Maybe that was why he managed to get the branch performing so well, everybody dreaded being called into his office for "friendly chitchat" after making a small mistake. When you first arrived, you steered as clear from him as possible, only venturing near his office when absolutely needed. What you didn't see was the way he would watch you intently in your little office nook, always appreciating how hard you worked and how cute you looked in your office get-up. You often squirmed at the amount of eye-contact he gave you when he ran meetings and you would glance around to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing. Nope, just you. When he did call you into his office that one time you were quaking in your shoes. You had already convinced yourself you were fired before you had even reached his office door, but the feeling was replaced soon enough with confusion when he did eventually speak to you. "I just wanted to ask... would you be interested in.... this corporate training program?" He rushed. My god, your boss was just as awkward as the next bumbling guy. It would be a while before he asked you on an official date, dinner for two, also quite a bit of paperwork to fill out with HR, but you would come to realise his icy exterior wasn't all that icy when he wasn't in work-mode.

❁ [Jaehyun] The temp that never left; Jaehyun was fresh from university, now venturing into the world of work but still had the boyish aura that set him apart from the rest of the men in the office. From the way he spoke to you over lunch in the break room you could tell he was full of ambition, but also didn't seem to be in any rush to leave this job any time soon. Jaehyun was the guy who you initially tried not to get too close to, since you were under the impression that he would be leaving after completing the temporary placement and when he left it would hurt like a bitch. However, you could have sworn his placement ended like a month ago, but eventually you learnt that he somehow managed to talk himself into a full-time position. "Oh that, yeah, I guess I just realised I had more reasons to stay." He shrugged as casually as he could when you asked about it. You couldn't deny that you were happy, not when you saw his smiling face in the conference room saving you a seat, hearing his outrageous stories from uni and always being the two to get a little too drunk at corporate parties and being sent home in a taxi of shame. Romance blossomed when you remembered that one drunken kiss in the backseat and you both bonded when your boss gave you the cold shoulder after arriving to work a little more than dishevelled and with a hangover.

❁ [Jungwoo] Desk buddy; Honestly, who could hate their job when they had a sweet Jungwoo sitting at the desk adjacent to theirs. You kinda scored when your boss appointed you this specific desk because Jungwoo took to you almost embarrassingly quick. It made your heart swell looking at all the little knick knacks on his desk; toys to fiddle with and colourful sticky notes, this was just one part of his persona. You were a little shocked when he offered you a cigarette during the lunch break, kind of exposing a duality you didn't know existed, but nobody could be that wholesome of a person. Monday to Friday 9-5 was filled with Jungwoo ping-ponging back and forth between these traits, any off handed comments he would mutter to you when the boss was giving an announcement or the conversations you would overhear him having with a friend over the phone would remind you he wasn't a total puppy of a human being. However, the way he always offered to share a snack and would flick paper and notes at you playfully was also very much him being himself. You always fluttered a little at the smirk he would throw your way when your manager was talking something boring or ridiculous, it seemed those smirks were only reserved for you. It didn't take long before he became your best friend in the office, if he wasn't in that day you were in the right mind to just call it quits yourself (and vice versa), he was the guy that made the long hours that much more bearable.

❁ [Mark] The bumbling intern; When it came to responsibilities in the work place, you tried to delegate as little of that as possible to Mark the intern. It was cute really, the guy put in 110% effort into his tasks and yet when it came to coffee orders, photocopying or sending out a memo, something nearly always went wrong. You couldn't help but admire his enthusiasm, also that he made an effort to know everybody in the office, including the cleaners. Mark was one of the first people to greet you when you joined, waving around a little notebook of Starbucks orders and a company card to splurge, urging you to write down whatever you wanted. A simple task right? Rookie mistake. Bless him, you would never tell him how his mistake of getting full dairy rather than the soy you requested led to a night on and off the toilet, but that just scratched the surface of his office blunders. Somehow, he never cost the company too much, but there was a reason why the poor boy never got promoted beyond intern. He wasn't deterred though, he'd lean up against your desk while you made idle chit chat and he'd tell you that he liked his job and he didn't aspire to be the best in this business. Where he really proved himself was during company functions, you'll never forget during the annual employee bbq when he asked you your favourite song so he could sing it melodically accompanied skilfully with a guitar. Mark's contributions to the work place were always a little unpredictable, but he kept things interesting and people, including you, genuinely enjoyed having him around.

❁ [Haechan] Probably the reason you get fired; Even in the workplace, Haechan can't deny himself a bit of mischief. He made a stellar first impression by rocking up half an hour late, sending your boss a half arsed apology and plonking down at the desk across the room from yours. To be honest, he kind of annoyed you at first, his attitude came off immature and you didn't appreciate how distracting he was when you had work to do. However, things started to change at some point. Haechan was the guy that convinced you to ditch the office party and sit on the rooftop with him to watch the city lights, the guy that sent out ridiculous memos just to catch you smile and the guy eventually became the reason for you own demise after he started picking you up for breakfast most mornings. When the manager called you in his office after being late the third time in a row, you ducked your head and mumbled something about traffic while hiding a croissant wrapper in your pocket, Haechan covered a laugh with a cough and apologised on behalf of both of you. When you asked him about why he never seemed to give a shit about anything, you learnt that it was because he had a taste for adventure; "Don't tell me you wanna stay and work here forever? Don't you wanna do something more... exciting with your life?" He asked you incredulously, like the answer was obvious. He kinda got you, no, you didn't want to work in a dingy office for the rest of you life. To be honest, when he painted a picture of moving to a big city, or taking a road trip, or just fucking off to the suburbs you didn't hate the sound of that either. When you were both sat there in your manager's office, signing off on a severance package, you weren't even mad. You didn't have time to be, Haechan was already clasping your hand and leading you to his car and laughing about finally being free, tugging his tie from around his neck whilst driving no where in particular- the start of an adventure.

NCT as songs series: [Yuta] Single; The Neighbourhood --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know if we should be alone together I still got a crush, that's obvious If nobody's around, what's stopping us?

❁ Having just moved back from uni, you were returning to your hometown to reunite with your friends and family, taking some time for yourself before you moved on to your next chapter.

❁ Yuta had been in your life for a while, though he was a little older there was the undertone of mutual pining that got put on hold when you moved away to pursue your education

❁ But now you were back, and seeing you again was stirring up feelings that never really went anywhere, feelings of wanting to be more than the static friend zone you were stuck in while you also dated around with other people.

❁ You and Jaehyun kind of had a thing just before you left, and it didn't escape anyone's notice when he greeted you with the most enthusiasm of anyone in your group.

❁ Despite yours and Jaehyun's fling, Yuta embodied the feeling of nostalgia; most of your fondest memories involved being with him and they made you feel so safe and content.

❁ Your favourites; the time he spent hours with you teaching you tricks on his skateboard at the skate park during dusk, singing acoustic songs while you lived the teen movie cliche of sitting around a fire with your friends at the beach before all shrieking while running into the water, mooching around the local shops together, perusing records and band t-shirts, before giving up and spending most of the day in the food court of your local shopping centre eating burgers and sneaking fries off each other.

❁ You stood together at the usual spot you and your friends always hung around at, by the skate park and sat on the sandy pier watching the tide of the sea inch in bit by bit.

❁ That mutual pining I was talking about before- yeah, that was stronger now than ever. He couldn't get past how much you had changed, how only three years had seen you go from a timid eighteen year old to a confident twenty-something year old that still looked up at him with sparkling naivety that he was so glad you hadn't out-grown yet.

❁ Being alone with you was risky, he couldn't ignore the need to feel his lips against yours for much longer, and if by the way your eyes kept flicking to his lips when he spoke meant what he thought it did, then you were both on the same page.

❁ The tension of unspoken truths hung around in the air, knowing that you felt strongly for each other but not having the verbal confirmation yet. "What's stopping us?" He muttered close to your ear, appreciative that you were finally alone together, his words accompanied by a symphony of waves crashing onto the shore below you.

❁ His hand found yours tentatively, fingers interlocking as he smirked at your bashful expression. "You make me go crazy Y/N... How did you grow up so fast?" He asked you amused, smiling further as you scoffed at his statement.

❁ "Jaehyun won't be happy though..." You spoke downcast, head resting against Yuta's shoulder as the wind whipped at your hair.

❁ "Do you think he could let his baby be my girl?" He replied sarcastically, a smirk tugging at his lips, knowing that you would stay with him and hold onto this feeling no matter anyone's opinion.

When you're in a room, you get my eyes You open your mouth, I'm hypnotized I can make you laugh until you cry You know you got all my attention You know you got all mine

❁ You wiped the stray tear from your cheek, the anecdote Yuta told you and your friends leaving everyone in some kind of fit of giggles as the story unfolded.

❁ You sat around the living room of Johnny's house casually, pizza boxes discarded and beer bottles here and there as you met up for an overdue catch up. Yuta's hoody draped over your frame, soft and smelling like him, though you hadn't actually been all that upfront about your relationship.

❁ You knew you liked each other, there was just no label on your relationship yet, which you were fine with, you didn't need a label to know that the way Yuta was looking at you while you spoke was not how friends should look at each other.

❁ Knowing that you only laughed like that when he spoke did his ego no favours, any hope of Jaehyun or anyone else butting in and ruining what you had was squashed.

❁ You could feel others around you noticing the chemistry between you, glances being exchanged when Yuta flung an arm around your shoulders casually while he sipped from his beer bottle. Every time you spoke, fidgeted, coughed he would flinch or perk- you could only see it if you were looking for it, but once Jaehyun noticed how all of Yuta's attention was on you, he knew he had to let you go.

~"Baby, " I can't help but call her that~

❁ "Are we really one of those couples?" You asked jokingly, an eyebrow quirked at the pet name as you moved closer to him in your room, the distant sound of waves crashing due to the harsh wind travelling through your open window.

❁ Yuta looked far too earnest for joking though. Gathering you in his arms he pulled you close and rested his lips against your hair while you both stood staring at the storm out the window, the cast of angry grey clouds making the whole room dark.

❁ Despite the angry weather, the summer had felt endless, without the stress from school you spent hours at the beach with your friends, camping out late into the evening and only moving when the tide chased you away. The nights were spent in your room with Yuta by your side, reminiscing about everything and nothing with his hands running through your hair and humming to the tune of your record collection, always escalating into a lazy makeout session where his hands would slide under your t-shirt and lips would trail up and down your throat.

❁ "Will you be my girl?" He asked, a simple question but his tone dripped with sincerity. You peered up at his taller stance curiously, unable to ignore the feeling of his hands tightening around your waist possessively as his dark, expressive eyes burrowed into yours.

❁ You tilted your head and tugged his shirt down, hoping this was enough to convey your answer, and he of course caught on quickly, his lips pressing against yours in a hedonistic kiss.

❁ "My baby..." He muttered against you, his hand tangling in your hair, preventing you from any kind of escape, not that you wanted to. Your stomach flipped at the comment, the feeling of belonging to Yuta making your heart trip, unable to stop breathing him in you knew you could easily get lost in his lungs.

❁ All the time you had spent apart was worth it, he had told you: "I don't mind being patient," but you never held him to that. It was the rush of emotion that was akin to the waves that crashed along the shoreline of your hometown- retracting all the way back only to return with a new force. Being with Yuta felt like the safest place on earth, you were his baby, he was your soulmate, the dynamic between you was more than a wave... together you were a wipeout.

writing fanfiction is just. i’m being so creative and original. i’m plagiarizing everyone by accident. i’m a genius. i’m cringe. i’m too angsty. i’m too cheesy. this is not in character. it doesn’t matter that it’s not in character because these are my characters now. i love my hobby. this is the worst possible use of my time. i’m seeking validation. i’m projecting my own personal problems onto this story and i’m barely hiding it. i know so many words and i’m using all of them wrong. im on tumblr posting about it instead of writing it.

NCT 127: at a frat party

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❁ [Taeil] Introverted confidant; Taeil is the guy you go to to seek solace in when you're not really feeling the vibe. Maybe the music sucked, the drinks weren't having an effect on you or it was too rowdy, whatever the problem was you could always sneak away or locate him somewhere a little quieter and just observe the mess from a distance. He'll laugh appreciatively if you took the initiative to sneak some snacks or drinks laid out and ruffle you hair playfully to thank you, making astute remarks about how drunk his friends are and groan about how he'll probably have to carry one of them home later. It's likely that you'll both be stuck with the task of making sure everyone gets home safe, shove bread in someone's mouth in hopes of it helping somehow even if you're not totally sober yourself. Maybe he gets really into the party once in a while, and when he does he benignly encourages you to let loose yourself and join in the fun, however it's almost always a guarantee that you'll end up taking a breather from the noise together in the garden, the part of the living room that isn't occupied, in desperate situations a random storage cupboard (Everybody got the wrong idea with that one) (No, you never quite lived it down). It's a nice feeling to see his expression perk when he finally sees you, the quick hug you always exchange, the knowing glances when your social batteries are already dying and its time to dip.

❁ [Johnny] Life of the party; Being the extroverted king he is, Johnny is the guy you might end up holding onto his sleeve for most of the night, figuratively. The guy that knows everyone, he'll happily adopt you if you look like you feel out of your depth and kindly make you a drink and usher you towards a group to try and let loose. Being with Johnny means a lot of attention, being introduced to people here and there and him playfully picking on you during drinking games, volunteering to make a fool of himself when someone dares you to do something a little too outrageous. Johnny is the comfort you need whilst simultaneously the reason for your death because drunk Johnny means a lot of shameless flirting and eye contact from across the kitchen counter, as well as keeping you close to his side and out of reach when someone else tries the same thing on you. At some heinous hour in the morning the rooms are considerably emptier, discarded cups everywhere and chiller music is humming from the bluetooth speakers, you could kid yourself that it was just you two even though you're sitting in a pool of people. His arm swung casually around your shoulders, "Did you have a good time?" Falling from his mouth slightly slurred and giving you an affectionate squeeze and a lazy kiss to the top of your head when you nod your head yes.

❁ [Taeyong] Hangover mum no. 1; We all know Taeyong has his maternal vibe going on, but lest we forget he too is a guy in his mid twenties looking for a good time. That being said, he wasn't surprised when Johnny dropped you off to his charge, the smell of alcohol radiating off of you, your appearance looking a lot more fragile from what he remembered when you first arrived that evening. He was incredibly patient, letting you rest in his bedroom while you sipped your water, salty pretzels at the ready for when you got the munchies and if disaster struck, he didn't judge when he pushed your hair back for a tactical chunder. He would assure you that you weren't keeping him from his friends when it had been a little while, and would keep a close eye on you when you rejoin the group, just a cup of lemonade in your grasp as a means of preventing a relapse. He's the guy that doesn't pressure you to join during drinking games, is perfectly content to give you his hoodie and let you sidle up to him as means of comfort and just observe everyone else admitting to disgusting truths during Never Have I Ever. At the end of the night he walks to your pace, will listen and hum attentively at any drunken musings that fall out of your mouth he knows you'll regret telling him tomorrow.

❁ [Yuta] King of the drinking games; Yuta isn't the type to shy away from a good time, and he's always front and centre when it comes to lowkey humiliating himself in Ring of Fire, truth or dare, or any of the classics. His confidence outweighs the most disgusting things he's admitted to doing, the embarrassment of what someone dared him to do and you've never seen someone chug a drink with so much gusto. Always manages to come up with the most evil questions, hitting right where it hurts and you dread when his turn rolls around again and his gaze lands on you. He's impressed when you take up his dares with dignity, or admit shamelessly to any hidden tattoos or piercings. If you caught his interest, will switch on the scorpio and keep his gaze trained on you for the rest of the night, will try and pry any information out of you by keeping you included in conversations and will 100% invite you to his room when the party is over. His demeanour reads as chaotic, he thrives being around his friends, but you somehow manage to unlock that calmer more intuitive part of him when he catches you outside the bathroom to check that he didn't go too far during one of the infamous games being played in the living room.

❁ [Doyoung] Hangover mum no.2; We've all seen the sweet and caring side of Doyoung jump out before, so if you're on your merry way towards being wasted he can't help but intervene to make sure you're ok. Don't be fooled though, he doesn't really have the patience of Taeyong, so expect a whole lotta tough love. He won't hesitate to flick you on the forehead when you get a little too in his face, though he deliberately doesn't do it too hard. Inadvertently gives off the impression that you're a nuisance as he scoffs and sighs at you weeping over a packet of crisps, has to later make a point of assuring you that "you're fine, you should just know better". There's an air of fondness that lingers when you settle down a bit and start to enjoy yourself at a more acceptable level of tipsiness and he insists that he walks you home. "Begrudgingly" hands over his jacket when you complain about being cold even though that was his plan all along, and takes mental notes of all the ridiculous drunken comments you make so he can torment you with them later.

❁ [Jaehyun] The guy who may or may not be responsible for your death; One thing about Jaehyun, he's the guy who's terrible at mixing drinks. Don't look at Johnny, he won't help you, when you asked for sex on the beach expect anal on the rocks because Jaehyun knows jack shit about ratio of alcohol to mixer. Don't worry too much, as much as it's his fault for accidentally getting you trashed, he takes as much responsibility for looking after you and making sure you have a good time. Lowkey turns into a frat boy cliche, the hat is on backwards and he's already tugging your arm to coerce you into being his partner for beer pong. He drinks most of the cups whenever you lose to make up for the terrifying concoctions he had you drink earlier and celebrates over excessively when you win by wrapping his arms tightly around your waist and lifting you in to the air slightly. His harmless nice chad vibes make for good company and there's the tingly feeling of chemistry when he laughs loudly at your jokes, eyes turning into little crescents and dimples popping, he watches proudly and thinks "that's my girl" when you make all his friends laugh with you.

❁ [Jungwoo] Level 300 clinger; whether you're moving between groups, leaving to get more food, or shifting to get a better view of the beer pong table, Jungwoo will find a way to squeeze in next to you some way some how. You can always feel an arm ghosting around your waist or around your shoulders, or hear his giggle right there beside your ear. After spending so much time on your feet, you both eventually flop on the sofa, a tangled mess of limbs whilst you try and catch your breath. People keep asking if you're together because of the excessive physical contact, and you hate how he thrives at you scrambling awkwardly for an answer to convey that wasn't the case while he just smiles innocently, making no effort to debunk the comments. There's a high chance that if either of you end up staying over in the other's house, he'll make sure he'll consensually sleep right there next to you, talking randomly about any topic that crosses his mind until you fall asleep. The mornings involve laughing at each other's bed head until you tune into your hangover's, sharing the one bottle of water while scrambling for painkillers and nagging at each other for not cutting either of you off when you went too far.

❁ [Mark] Lightweight; to keep it short and simple, Mark Lee proved himself to be a bit of a lightweight from the get-go, and now here you were, the room dim and bass thumping while Mark laughs loudly at whatever Johnny was saying and you haven't even been there for an hour yet. Mark is the guy that is kinda hard to keep track of, you thought you saw him in the kitchen but now he's messing around with Haechan in the garden and each time you regroup with him he's even more drunk than before. He always finds you eventually, maybe you were taking a load off at the snack table, munching crisps and replying to texts when a lanky arm swings over your shoulders and Mark's smily face is way too close to your line of sight asking if you're OK. If he feels he's neglected you for too long he overcompensates by ushering you to his current group and making a point of pulling a fold out chair right next to his, his laugh dominating the conversation even if the joke wasn't that funny. When the night draws to a close, he settles down, the lack of people taking a toll on his energy and that's where he engages in conversations way too deep for a frat party and way too personal for just friends, though you never worried, there was no way he would remember any of this tomorrow.

❁ [Haechan] Partner in crime; That one friend who you end up hanging with the whole night, even if that wasn't the intention. Haechan doesn't fear drunkenness, it doesn't seem like he fears anything, and he'll always without fail drag you down with him. He's the guy that cheers obnoxiously when you down your shot, always picks on you in the drinking games because he loves to see you embarrassed and the one you sneak away with to try cigarettes even if it turns out you don't really like them. His famous last words are always "I'll do it if you do it" and that's the story of how you both ended up jumping into a neighbour's pool completely wasted, and now hoarding the bottle of tequila. Haechan is the guy that kind of makes you make a complete fool out of yourself, but always assures you that nobody will remember by the morning and to just live in the moment. Your favourite part of these frat parties is always looking through your photos the next day and laughing at all the horrendous selfies and videos he took before you noticed he had your phone for the last 15 minutes.
