you were taking a break from training and sat on one of the couches in the living room. with your phone in hand, you were scrolling through social media and saw some posts about other e-sports teams appear on your screen; most of them announcing which teams were going to appear at a competition scheduled for next week in tokyo.

"oh my god! y/n! did you hear?" dino frantically exclaimed. you looked over and saw him make a dash towards you from his desk. "look at this!" he instructed while shoving his phone screen into your view.

you grabbed his phone and looked at what he had on his screen: an online article with the title "#1 in south korea, team fts, announces their participation in the summer sundown festival happening in tokyo, japan next week as a last minute entry."

you sighed, "i'm gonna kill him," you immediately said, staring at dino's phone screen in disbelief. you started scrolling through the article, reading the most important parts before sending the article to your phone.

"did he not tell you?" dino asked, sinking into the couch cushion next to you.

"no, he didn't," you sighed again. "you wanna tell joshua, or should i?" you asked dino as you handed his phone back to him.

"if you wanna call jeonghan, i can go tell coach," dino replied. you nodded in agreement.

both of you got up from the couch and walked in separate directions. dino headed to your coach, who was with the rest of your team while you went onto the balcony of the house you lived in. you closed the door behind you and called jeonghan.

once he answered, you heard him immediately chuckle, "i was wondering when you were gonna call me. this was sooner than i expected."

"i just saw the article. dino just showed it to me," you replied, "what happened to the competition here?" you asked him, crossing one arm across your torso.

"the organizers are horrible. we're playing against people in the league below us, so it's clearly rigged," he explained before sighing, "it's kind of a mess though. we'll be training longer cause of the teams in tokyo."

"hey, jeonghan hyung, come on."

"i'll be downstairs in a minute. start talking with the others about the new thing," jeonghan said to the person that just called for him. it sounded like the8, but you weren’t sure.

"who was that?" you asked.

"oh, it was the8,” he confirmed. “hey, call me when you're done. i gotta go," he said to you.

you hummed in response, "i will.”

"love you."

"you wish i loved you."

"hey, don't do this—"

you hung up, laughing at what you did before receiving a text message from jeonghan, who was upset. you texted him back before going inside.

"y/n, is it true?" jun asked you as you closed the door behind you.

you nodded, "yea, just confirmed it with him."

mingyu groaned and sat back in his chair, "you have got to be kidding me."

"tonight, you guys need to go through their battles from the last competition," joshua said to everyone else. "we'll need to start planning tomorrow morning. let's just go through what we have right now."

"sounds good," vernon spoke up, putting his headphones on.

you walked to your seat that was next to dino's before loading the game up on your computer screen.

-

days later and you were in japan. you spent the first day walking around and exploring since the day after was the day of the gaming festival.

"woah, this place is nice," dino said as you guys were taken to your team's designated waiting room.

as everyone set their things down, you opened a bottle of water and started drinking from it.

"please let a staff member know if you need anything," the staff member who was with you said before leaving the room, closing the door behind them.

"who's playing the first round again?" mingyu asked before vernon handed him his phone. "oh, thanks."

"i'm gonna grab some more waters for us," you said to everyone.

"don't take too long. we need to watch all of the matches," jun said to you.

"i won't. it'll only take a second," you replied and set your own water down. you left the waiting room and went down the hall to find an area with snacks and drinks.

"do you need something?" a staff member asked you when they noticed you.

"just some waters, please," you requested. "can i just get a whole case actually?" you asked.

they nodded, "of course."

another staff member grabbed a case of water and handed it to you.

"thank you," you replied and managed to pick the case up. you started walking back to the waiting room and saw familiar faces being guided to their waiting room.

"y/n!" dk immediately yelled as he noticed you first.

"oh, hi," you greeted as jeonghan approached you.

"need some help?" he asked you.

"no."

"you do? okay," he said and took the case of water from your hands.

"jeonghan, we need to go," s.coups said to him.

"jeonghan, i'm fine," you said and tried to take the case from him.

"i'll be back in a second," jeonghan said to them before walking away from his team.

you sighed and looked at their captain, "sorry."

s.coups laughed, "it's fine. see you later.”

"see you later," you smiled before following jeonghan down the hall. "yoon jeonghan, you're going the wrong way."

you caught up to him as he looked at you, "can we take a detour so i can be with you longer? i haven't gotten to see you in like two weeks."

you rolled your eyes, "no. i have battles to watch, and you have a team to coach," you said to him and started walking in the direction to the waiting room. once you got there, you opened the door for jeonghan, "put it on the table and leave."

"you're so mean to your boyfriend," jeonghan pouted as he did what was instructed. the guys looked at him as he walked in.

"oh, jeonghan. nice to see you," joshua greeted. the two coaches greeted each other with a handshake.

"y/n, isn't there a rule about fraternizing with the enemy at competitions?" mingyu asked you.

"you're just saying that cause he's here," you replied before grabbing jeonghan and pushing him out of the room. "bye."

"wanna get dinner later?" jeonghan asked as he stood in the hallway, holding the door open despite you trying to close it.

"maybe. bye," you said and closed the door on him before locking it.

"you know, jeonghan's right. you are being mean to him," jun said to you.

"can we not? we have a competition to win," you said to your captain and crossed your arms.

-

"that battle was way too long," vernon complained as you and your team walked back into the waiting room. you had just won against one of the teams from japan.

"seriously," mingyu said and grabbed a bag of chips from the table.

"y/n, is your hand okay?" jun asked you as you grabbed your brace for your wrist from your backpack.

"it's fine. i just tweaked it during the last raid," you said and took your jacket off to cool off. you put the brace on and sat down next to dino on a couch.

"it's already bothering you? will you be okay for the rest of the competition? we have three more battles for sure and two more if we make it all the way to the finals," dino asked in concern.

"i have to be fine. who else are we gonna get to substitute for me?" you replied.

"i mean, there was that time i tried playing as two people."

"dino, you died in an instant."

-

"and here we have it. the long awaited battle between south korea's fts and south korea's sector:17. both of them are strong teams within the e-sports community. don't you agree, hoshi?" one of the commentators spoke.

"i definitely agree with you on that, seungkwan. both of these teams are powerful within the community. fts is definitely the top team in this community, so it'll be interesting to see how sector:17 overcomes this later today," the other commenter said. "let's look at the stats of both teams and see what could happen in this final battle."

"hoshi knows stuff about the game?" vernon questioned as he sat down with a snack in his hand.

"guess woozi finally taught him some stuff," you replied while massaging your wrist.

"hey, you guys feel good?" joshua asked as he walked into the room. "here's coffee," he said, handing you a cup.

"thanks," you replied, "do you think they're going to use that new strategy today?" you asked.

"probably. they probably want to wear us out with it for the first part," vernon replied.

"hey, vernon, go wake up everyone else. they need to eat before we leave," joshua instructed. vernon nodded and got up while joshua took his spot on the couch next to you. "have you talked to jeonghan?" he asked you.

"not really. didn't want to get in trouble with the league," you replied, "just that date we went on the other night."

"according to s.coups, he's been more irritating," joshua mentioned, "you should see him before the competition starts."

you shrugged, "maybe. i just don't want to get distracted either."

"understandable," joshua replied to you, "but you know how he gets, which means all of them are probably annoyed at him for sulking."

"they'll get over it. they always do," you replied and looked over when you heard someone walk into the room. "good morning, sleeping beauty," you said to mingyu as he headed to the table.

"i'm handsome, thank you," mingyu sarcastically replied as he grabbed a coffee cup off of the table. "thanks, shua."

"no problem," joshua replied. "eat a bit more. don't want to get too hungry later," he said to you before getting up and heading into the hall, "guys! wake up!"

-

a few hours later, and you're about to leave for the last battle between your team and fts. you took your brace off your wrist and put it back in your backpack.

"you good, y/n?" jun asked you. you nodded and walked over to everyone, who were waiting by the door. "let's go," he said and dino opened the door for everyone.

a staff member guided all of you to the entrance to the stage. you waited until someone instructed you to go on stage.

you walked onto the stage following jun; the others following behind you. fans were cheering everywhere from the audience. you walked to where the computers were set up, seeing the game loaded up on screen. you sat down in your seat and got ready to play.

"okay, let's do this!" mingyu yelled into his microphone.

"hey! not too loud. you're gonna blow my ears out, and then i won't be able to use these headphones anymore," dino whined at your teammate.

you looked over to your side and saw the other team getting ready. wonwoo looked over at you, as if he sensed you looking at him. he looked back at jeonghan, who also looked over at you. he gave you a smile, and you gave him a smile back before looking at the computer screen.

"alright guys," joshua said to all of you, "let's use the new strategy for the first round."

"got it."

"okay."

-

after two matches, the score was one-to-one. you were in the last match, waiting to get resurrected after dying to one of woozi's attack.

"okay, push through!" jun yelled.

"mingyu, come here," vernon instructed.

mingyu groaned, "shit. i died," he huffed out. "y/n, can you cover him?" he asked you.

"hang on, five more seconds and i'll follow," you said as you watched the screen.

"i got one down!" dino exclaimed.

"okay, i'm back," you announced to your team, "i'm coming to you, vernon. hold off if you can."

"i'm almost out of health," vernon mentioned.

"dino, i'm coming to you. use your shield," jun instructed.

"you got it."

you continued moving and reached vernon, who had barely any health left. you killed a few monsters that were on the screen and then you saw s.coups's character appear on the screen.

"shoot, i don't know where the8 went," vernon mentioned. "mingyu, are you back?" he asked as you started attacking s.coups's character.

"yep, i am. coming towards you," mingyu replied.

"all of them are by us. y/n, come here," jun said and you started moving again. you found jun and dino's characters and started attacking the8 and dk with dino while jun fought woozi.

"need backup?" vernon asked.

"we're fine. stay there," jun immediately replied. "come on...yes! okay, woozi's down."

"the8's down," dino said, "so is dk."

"s.coups and wonwoo are retreating. should we follow?" you asked, looking at the map.

"yea, keep going. mingyu, vernon, push through and get to us," jun instructed.

"we're coming," mingyu said.

you followed jun with dino behind, killing any monsters that appeared on screen. eventually, you reached the base and started attacking s.coups and wonwoo while dino was dealing with the base. a few seconds later, and mingyu joined you and jun. vernon helped dino with the base.

"they're resurrecting in twenty seconds," dino mentioned while attacking the base as quickly as possible.

"come on, come on. use your attack, y/n. our health is fine," jun instructed you. you used your character's special attack, which lowered everyone's health around you. then, you started hitting wonwoo's character and killed him quickly since his health was quite low.

"wonwoo's out," you announced.

"the base is almost down," vernon mentioned.

"we have fourteen seconds until they're back," you said, glancing at the top of the screen. "hurry."

"my health is low. mingyu, help," jun said.

"hang on."

"ten, nine, eight..." you started counting off while attacking s.coups, "seven, six, five, four-"

"we destroyed it!" dino yelled out.

"okay, finish all of them off," jun instructed right as mingyu killed s.coups.

the rest of the characters came back to life and you started attacking dk. eventually, wonwoo's character came back as well and your team killed off all of them.

"yes!"

the crowd had been cheering the whole time but you didn’t notice how loud they were until your team won. you got up from your chair and hugged dino, who was the closest to you before hugging everyone else.

you and your team started doing your victory ritual of jumping in a circle and singing a song. joshua joined in after being backstage since the beginning of the match.

after celebrating, your team went to the center of the stage where the other team was.

"you guys did good," s.coups said to jun.

"not bad yourself," jun replied.

"hey, wonwoo, let's play together some time," mingyu said to wonwoo.

"oh sure. that'd be great," wonwoo said to mingyu.

"y/n! you did great!" dk said to you.

"yea, seriously. during the second round? that was crazy," woozi said to you.

"i'm glad we won that round. i was scared there for a bit," you said to them with a laugh.

then, you were pulled away by someone and turned to see jeonghan.

"good job." you felt him kiss your forehead.

"you're just saying that to be nice to me," you said to him while wrapping your arms around him.

"i am nice, unlike you," he said as he put his arms around you, "and don't forget, we won the last competition."

you rolled your eyes, "you're annoying, you know that?"

"i know i am,” he admitted. “congratulations," he said to you before kissing your lips.

confetti continued to fall, the crowd kept cheering, and you felt like the best in the world.

Hidden embrace

genre: fluff

wc:481

Y/N and Jihoon were two peas in a pod, always finding comfort and happiness in the walls of their home. They were content with each other's company, and most of their dates involved snuggling on the couch, binge-watching their favorite TV shows, and sharing laughs over board games.

Inside the safety of their home, Jihoon would shower Y/N with affection, calling her sweet pet names like "babe" and "puppy." He would wrap his arms around her constantly, making her feel cherished and loved. Y/N adored these moments, feeling secure and cared for in Jihoon's arms.

However, whenever the couple ventured outside, Jihoon's demeanor changed. He became reserved and distant, not displaying the same level of affection as he did at home. It left many people around them assuming they were just friends. Y/N didn't mind too much; she wasn't a big fan of public displays of affection either, so she understood Jihoon's perspective.

One day, while they were strolling through a grocery store, an elderly lady approached Y/N with a smile and asked, "Dear, are you single? My grandson is looking for a girlfriend." Y/N was taken aback but managed a polite response, "Oh, thank you, but I actually have a boyfriend." Jihoon, who was standing nearby, didn't hesitate to confirm, "Yes, we are dating."

Y/N didn't think much of it until another incident occurred while they were shopping for matching Halloween outfits. A confident young man approached her, asking, "Hey, are you single? I'm throwing a party, and I'd love to have you there with me." Y/N politely declined, "Sorry, I'm not single. I have a boyfriend."The persistent young man refused to believe her, insisting that she was just trying to brush him off.

Jihoon, who had been quietly observing, couldn't tolerate this disrespect towards Y/N. His temper flared, and he decided it was time to show the world that Y/N was taken.In a bold move, Jihoon pulled Y/N close and kissed her passionately, right there in the middle of the store.

The onlookers gasped, and the persistent young man finally got the message. He quickly retreated, his face turning crimson.Once the kiss ended, Y/N looked at Jihoon, surprised and touched by his protectiveness. "Are you okay?" she asked, concerned about his sudden outburst. Jihoon just smiled at her, his eyes filled with adoration, and said, "I couldn't let him disrespect you like that. You're mine, and I want everyone to know."

From that day on, Y/N noticed a change in Jihoon's behavior when they were out in public. Though he was still not overly affectionate, he made small gestures to show he cared—holding her hand a little tighter or placing his arm around her waist. Y/N appreciated the effort, knowing that it was Jihoon's way of claiming her as his own.

that vid of dk comforting woozi during his part in healing is killing me

so i imagined some scenarios where he'd sweetly say, "i was wondering where you were"

imagine you had a date planned to hang out with woozi outside of your houses or his studio for once

you're dressed up and have nice makeup on, but while getting ready, you realized way more time has passed than you thought

so now you're panicking in the taxi when you realized you forgot your phone!

so now you're not only running late but you have no way of updating him

so when you get there a bit late, almost out of breath as youre directed to your reserved table

he looks up from his phone and smiles at you

"i was worried. i was wondering where you were."

"i'm so sorry! i didn't realize how much time passed, and i forgot my phone at home."

"it's fine. you're here now. don't worry about it, okay?"

"tell me i at least look good after all the time i unknowingly spent on myself."

"hmm..," he scans you from the other side of the table thoughtfully before chuckling. "yeah, of course you do."

i imagine woozi wouldn't be the type to give you compliments out of the blue

but if you asked him if (for example) you looked good or you smell good or your makeup/outfit is nice, he'd be honest with you

and almost always tell you what you want to hear (though he'd definitely pretend to think differently just to see your reaction)

though i think he'd say regular comforting things to you often

like "have you eaten?" or "good job with that, you deserved it" or "keep up your good work, you're doing great"

another scenario would be if you both were at a social gathering together at hybe or smth

he'd be looking for you, going between rooms and scanning the people

he goes up to the other svt members like "hey, have you seen y/n?"

it isn't until one of the members says, "oh, i think they went to go somewhere where there weren't a lot of people."

he bids goodbye to a few people before walking to his studio

and he enters, seeing you sitting on the couch with your phone in your hands

"i was wondering where you were, silly. should've texted or something."

"i was planning on going back in a few minutes. sorry. i know i shouldn't be in here by myself."

he sits down at his big, comfy desk chair

"you're fine. you worry too much. too many people?"

"yeah. it was fun, though. i just needed to recharge."

"i get it. i'll probably do some more work here anyway before i call it a night. wanna stay?"

"of course!"

and you kick off your fancy shoes, getting yourself comfortable (as you always do) in his studio

i feel like woozi's love language would be quality time

he just loves having your company, even if you both don't say anything or focus on completely different things

he just loves being with just you

so woozi saying "i was wondering where you were" with so much love in his eyes

so comforting and heartwarming, i bet he'd say that to his s/o just like that 🫶

You sound like a broken record since this might be the nth time you've had this realization today. But your boyfriend is very handsome. It has to be his hair - obsidian strands that are long enough to be tied into a half-up ponytail. More than once you've asked Jihoon if you could braid his hair ever since he told you he wanted to grow it out.

Jihoon says yes every time.

He resembles a content cat whenever you start playing with his hair, with sighs coming from him as he lays on your lap. Taking advantage of him looking at his phone, you open the camera app as you get ready to take some photos of him.

"Jihooon," you elongate the vowels, and the only response you get is a hum as he continues looking at his phone. The small upturn of his lips is noticeable though and you love him even more for playing along with your whims. In the three years that you've been together, it's now rare for him to respond to his name, preferring the endearments more.

And who are you to complain about your boyfriend wanting affection?

"Love."

He laughs then, looking at you with a big grin that never fails to make your heart sing in joy. The perfect pictures are captured and he moves closer to you in the booth, his arm easily sliding around your waist.

"How'd the photos turn out?"

You softly brush your lips on his cheek and my gosh, his smile is so blinding when you pull back. "You look handsome as usual."

By 11:59 AM, you've already added the four new photos of him to the wallpaper shuffle of your phone. You say that he's your wallpaper so that you can wake up in a good mood. The pink tint on his cheeks overshadows his scoff as he quietly tells you to eat a lot.
