HOW TO GET THE GIRL: A LOVERS GUIDE

CHAPTER FIVE: incoming facetime from my lilypad🪷 and hoshi reincarnated🐯 (863)

WARNINGS: slight angst if you squint.

◃ previous ep. ⊹ masterlist ⊹ next ▹

Rubbing your hands across your face in distress, you let out your 5th sigh in the past hour.

Your hands tangled themselves in between the strands of your hair, slightly yanking at your scalp to feel some type of relief from the non-stop pounding in your head.

You couldn't decipher if the cause of the relentless pounding was due to stress, or if your heart had made its way up to your brain and was trying to rattle some sense into you.

You didn't remember tutoring being so draining, then again it had been a few months up to a year since you'd last taken the time to sit in a library and actually teach old material to someone. Maybe it was extra vigorous because all you could think about was the underlying issue of your still present feelings or maybe it was just extra taxing because you knew you'd have to take away more of your free-time to sit cooped up in a library with your longtime crush.

You let out a small whine before your eyes trailed over to your cat that sat perched up on your windowsill. You'd do just about anything to trade places with her.

Before you could even think to wallow in more self-pity, your trance was suddenly broken by an insistent buzzing on top of your thigh.

Incoming facetime from my lilypad🪷 and hoshi reincarnated🐯...

An unknowing smile broke onto your face before you clicked on the green, purposely putting your phone up close to your eyes and eyebrows.

As if on cue, the phone connected to show Yoon and Lily in identical poses making the three of you burst into a small laughing fit.

"Whatcha doin?" Yoon asked, dragging her words out as she propped her phone up against her desk to reveal the stack of ignored homework and lit up nintendo switch.

"Setting up my schedule for the next few weeks." You pitifully murmured before propping your phone up against a pillow.

"I don't know why I accepted to tutor him when I already have so much shit to do." You murmured as you sifted through papers of all of your upcoming events.

"Oh, please. We know why.." Lily tittered as her eyes focused on her own task, flipping through the pages of a binder with a highlighter in hand.

You side-eyed the camera for a split second before going back to marking your calendar. "Ha, Ha, Ha." you plainly uttered with a blank face.

"Don't pretend like we're wrong." Lily added, pointing her highlighter at the screen with a fake threatening sneer.

"We've heard the countless love rambles from you to know you'd jump in front of a moving bus if he asked you to." Yoon countered, failing to conceal her giggles at her own comment.

It was hard to deny their claims or even pretend to be annoyed with them when they were saying nothing but the truth. Your last love ramble was only two weeks ago when you were gushing on how gentle you caught him being with a stray cat outside of the school gates.

It was a vast contrast of how rough he presented himself on the basketball court, and to see him be so soft with a vulnerable animal made your heart beat at a pace that you didn't know was humanly possible.

"Speaking of Niki, I have to text him and get his schedule." you haphazardly mumbled before grabbing your phone.

The call was silent for quite some time but it felt as if the air completely shifted when you made that half-off comment. The widened eyes of the duo staring at you went unnoticed as you searched for his contact name.

"YOU HAVE HIS NUMBER?!" Yoon abruptly shouted before yanking her screen closer to her.

"Uh, Yeah. I need it so we can plan out our tutoring sessions." You replied with furrowed eyebrows and wide eyes, slightly confused by the outburst.

"And this is our first time hearing about it?" Lily interjected, gaping at her phone with a faked hurt expression as she rested her hand on her chest.

"I only got it today! What more do you want from me?" You asked lightly, laughing at their played up antics.

Before Yoon could reply, your phone dinged with a text message, and to your surprise, it was Niki himself.

Yoon's next rebuttal was broken with a quick gasp "Oh, shit. Was that him?" she asked, her hand covering her mouth with slightly widened eyes.

"Yes, actually." You answered, unknowingly straightening your posture as your thumb hovered over the text message banner.

"Well, what'd he say?" Lily asked, her binder quickly being discarded as she shifted her focus towards her phone.

"All he said was 'Hi, this is Niki.' With a smiley face attached." you answered as you laid back in your bed, shoving aside the disorganized flurry of papers on your bed to get comfortable.

"Oh my god, he wants you so bad." Yoon immediately interjected.

You could feel your lips spreading into a smile at her words. "Shut up." You murmured, trying your hardest to force down your smile.

"What should I say back?"

이희승

When you crawl into his lap with a little too much clinginess while he's deep into gaming, he'd already sense something was off with you. His heart would skip a beat in concern as he lean back in his chair, allowing you to nestle comfortably against his chest. As you press your forehead into his chest, he'd mutter under his breath, "Shit, Angel... You're burning." He'd quickly shut off his PC and test your temperature with the back of his hand, realizing that you're running a fever. Without a second thought, he'd gently lift you up, carrying you to the bed and settling you down before fetching the paracetamol you need.

He'd become a constant presence by your side whenever you get sick, always having you wrapped around his arms and leaving tons of kisses all around your feature, which would apparently leave you all lovesick right at the spot. His loving actions would act like an instant remedy for your unwell state.

When you'll start feeling better, he still won't let you go out before you fully recover. If you whine in protest, he'd just chuckle before finding something on the TV to keep you entertained with his endless cuddles.

박종성

The moment he hears your almost cracked and shaky voice through the phone, he'd drop everything and rush to your apartment, not forgetting to bring all the essentials for cooking you meals and any medicines you might need from the store. When you see each other, his heart would ache at the sight of your pale face and tangled hair, and he'd quickly pull you into a tight embrace, before scolding you for having ice-cream twice a day but feeling your feverish body against his, he'd immediately lead you to the bed, making sure you're comfy and resting.

After feeding you the porridge he cooked for you, he'd spend the whole day pampering you like a child, lovingly letting you lean against his chest, humming your favorite song while gently caressing your head allowing you to fall asleep in his embrace.

Even when you start recovering with his unwavering care, he couldn't help but would constantly check on your health, reminding you to drink plenty of water and warm liquids. If you complain about his overbearing love being like diabetes, he might reluctantly give in and let you indulge in whatever you want, which is him ending up watching the same Disney movie you've made him watch countless times before. He'd just sit there with you in his lap, softly giving your face rapid kisses, making you giggle by his actions rather than the movie.

심재윤

Hearing you sneeze repeatedly from the kitchen, he dashes over like a clingy baby, standing there for a minute. As you continue to sneeze, he begins to frown, expressing concern. "Oh my god, Princess. You've caught a cold," he says, his hands holding your face gently. This earns him another sneeze from you when you open your mouth to speak. He dismisses it with a chuckle, saying, "No no no, it's alright. I'll stay home all day."

And by that, he'd promptly cancel his scheduled tasks and dedicate himself to you, acting like a devoted puppy. In the living room, he makes you sit in his lap, turning on the TV to a random show while allowing you to cuddle into him tightly for the entire day, Earning some warnings such as: "You're gonna get sick by me," from you.

Despite your warnings that he might get sick too, he disregards it, expressing his contentment as long as you're recuperating. And it's no wonder, at the end of the day of him tryna take care of you, he'd end up getting sick along with you too.

박성훈

Seeing you feeling nauseous after consuming just a small amount, he'd immediately recognizes that you've been skipping meals and are feeling unwell and dizzy as a result. Despite his initial attempt to scold you for neglecting your health, he cannot hide his deep concern for you. Determined to help, he'd hastily make a liquid of broth, feeding you himself. However, when you hug him from behind for warmth, he'd melt instantly, wrapping his arms around you in a comforting embrace.

He's definitely the type who would gladly let you snuggle all over him all night long, his firm muscles like a sturdy pillow. At times, he'd find himself observing your sleeping face, marveling at your serene expression and gentle breaths. Although he might not be very good at openly expressing affection too extensively, deep inside, he truly treasures these moments with you and he felt his heart ache seeing you getting sick like this often. He'd occasionally stroke your hair or softly kiss your forehead, trying to show his affection in his own quiet way.

김선우

The warm sunday morning light curls through the curtains, bird's chirring welcoming him to open his eyes from the peaceful slumber, his eyes fall open and he rolls at your side of bed with a soft smile but his face would turn into a visible frown when he feels your body temperature a little too high against his body, he'd quickly get up from lying realizing you're running through a fever all of sudden. He'd get worried and concerned before deciding what to do. He'd try making you a bowl of soup and getting the Tylenol then waking you up to take them. If your temperature still doesn't get lowered, he'd try wiping your body with a soft wet cloth. I don't know why but i feel like he's the type who'd help you wash your hair when you're sick (also when you're not) with every inch of care you deserve.

When your condition gets better he'd buy you all of your favorite snacks and everything you need. Though all you even need is his sunshine-like smile to get better, you reckon.

양정원

He'd be the type of boyfriend who's always ready for every type of situation and if you're prone to getting sick often, he'll ensure you lead a healthy lifestyle, all thanks to his unwavering affection. So if the rare sickness does happen by chance, he'll become extra diligent, doing what he can to assist you in your recovery. He'd even make a to-do list for your quick recovery. Imo, he's the type who'd google things. Taking notes from what Google says he'd do exactly like that, making you chuckle at his overseriousness about just you coughing twice a day, how he's already at your service.

However, at your serious sicknesses, he'll be found more busy, making sure you're drinking enough warm water and taking the medicines. "Eww, babe!!! I can't drink this anymore! This tastes exactly like someone blended broccoli and sherk in a juicer!" Your whines would make his dimple go deeper when he laughs before getting occupied in his part time job of babying you, his hands reaching out caresses your cheeks.

西村力

Just like Jake, he's another affectionate baby whose love for the one they adore knows no bounds. When you get sick, he'd be almost glued to you. Despite his limited experience in comforting someone, he'd attempt to burn down the kitchen in his desperation to help you before you rush in to save the day.

Despite his childish antics, he’d be genuinely worried and concerned about your sudden illness. With his towering frame, he'd his chin on your head from the behind, gently planting soft kisses on the top of your head when you wait for the water to boil.

He'd envelop you in a warm and cozy embrace, wrapping you both in a blanket as he'd put on your favorite movie, which you've made him watch countless times before. You'd occasionally remind him about the possibility of him catching your sickness, but he wouldn't hesitate to hold you closer, unbothered by the consequences.

HOW TO GET THE GIRL: A LOVERS GUIDE

CHAPTER NINE: about jiwoo. (1.6k)

WARNINGS: angst, reader is referred to as woman.

◃ previous ep. ⊹ masterlist ⊹ next ▹

Weeks have gone by since you started tutoring Riki. To say you've started to like him more was a vast understatement. Once you dropped your "cold" act that lasted for a mere 3 sessions, You started to become accustomed to him.

Although you had gone many years without interacting with each other, it felt like the spark you had imagined between you two never left.

The both of you had grown comfortable with each other to the point you started to interact with each other outside of the usual library doors.

At first, it was embarrassing to have your name shouted at the other end of the hallway, however, it turned into a typical routine where instead of keeping your head down and speed-walking away from him to avoid lingering eyes, you'd wave back.

During these study sessions, you learned more and more about him. How he microwaves his strawberries, he has a dog named Bisco, he can play piano, and he has a large fear of bugs that you've sadly had to learn the hard way after he accidentally pushed you aside to run away from a nearby wasp.

Something else you learned about Niki was that his grades did not match up with his knowledge. Sure, he was inconsistent with his attendance and would rarely turn in classwork if any at all, but he was smart and an extremely fast learner.

It had gotten to the point where you'd just set a small bulk of his past-due assignments in front of him and study for your other classes until he finished.

The study sessions quickly turned into more of a hangout. Staying in the library together hours after completing whatever workload had stacked up over the week to share hushed laughter and talk about everything under the sun until the library had to close down for the night.

You'd even go as far as to call him your friend, and so would members of the Newspaper Club.

"You're in a rush." Lily offhandedly mentioned as she typed away on the school's computer. Her posture had straightened at the sound of you hastily packing away your belongings but her eyes refused to stray away from the screen.

"Hm? Oh, yeah. I'm supposed to meet up with Riki." you answered before slinging the book bag over your shoulder.

"To do what exactly? It's a Friday and I thought you only tutored him on Sundays." J suddenly butted in, a playful yet accusatory tone to her voice as she suddenly invested herself in the conversation.

"I don't know actually, he asked to meet me at the school gates when our session ended."

"Oh? Is he walking you home? That's pretty cute." Yoon commented, a teasing smile growing on her face. "I don't know why he would, I mean— he's never done it before. So, I don't see why he'd want to do it now." You replied with fake unconcern.

You were being honest when you said you didn't know why Riki had suddenly made this decision to meet you at the school gate, but if it was to start walking you home on a frequent basis, you're 100% sure your knees would give out.

"Did you guys need any more help before I head out?" You suddenly questioned, trying to shift focus away from your last comment.

"Nope, we got it from here. Only thing we have left to do anyway is restock the printer paper." J assured with a small smile before hoisting herself up to sit on a desk.

"Okay, I'll see you guys later then." You quickly replied as you made your way towards the exit,

Lily only hummed in response to your statement before saying "Have fun, don't get into any trouble."

A smile crept onto your face as you resisted the urge to roll your eyes at how much she sounded like a Mom sending her daughter off. "And text us when you make it back home!" Seeun responded, suddenly bordering out of the storage closet with a box filled to the brim with different bulks of paper.

"Okay, Moms, will do."

"About time." Riki groaned out, loud enough for your approaching figure to hear as you made your way into eye view. "Oh, shut up," you said as he pushed himself off of the gates.

"I feel like I've been waiting for forever." He whines as he follows behind your figure. "Yeah, right. Couldn't have been waiting that long since it looks like you went home to drop off your backpack." You pointed out, silently relishing in the feeling of freedom as you got farther and farther away from school grounds.

"I didn't feel like carrying that thing around all day. Plus, it'll be easier to carry yours." He stated nonchalantly.

He reached over to slip your bag off of your shoulders before flinging it across his own, his delicate fingers brushing over your own as he did so. But just as quick as his touch arrived, it was just as quick to leave.

His simple actions shouldn't ruffle you like they do, yet it still happens. You know that when Riki does things like this he never has an underlying intention which makes it all the more pathetic when you feel your stomach brim with butterflies the moment you make skin-to-skin contact with him.

You cleared your throat before wrapping your arms around your stomach, a meek attempt at trying to calm the raging storm of feelings that was happening inside of you.

"So, why did you want to walk me home all of a sudden?" You asked, shifting your gaze around the growing shrubbery to avoid looking in his direction.

"Oh, right. I wanted to ask you something." He shyly uttered, his free hand that wasn't holding your bag made its way to the back of his neck, nervously rubbing it as he looked down at his sneakers.

You glanced in his direction to see that whatever was on his mind had been weighing in on him for a while. "Yeah, what's up?" you asked softly before shifting your gaze forward.

"Um, you're friends with Jiwoo, right?" he asked, out of the corner of your eye you could see him turn towards you. Trying to gauge your reaction and see what you'd say.

It took a moment for the question to fully translate in your mind as if he was speaking a foreign language you had never heard before. Once it did register in your head you couldn't help the shock that overtook your body, nearly making you stumble over your feet.

You opened your mouth to speak but no words came out, it was as if you were a fish out of water. Your mouth had suddenly gone dry and it felt as if you saw the fantasy of your TV romance crashing in front of your eyes. "Yeah, Jiwoo and I are really good friends." You finally managed to push out.

"Why do you ask?" You quickly follow up, your eyebrows unknowingly furrowing.

"I asked because I wanted to know if she was single." He replied, his tone went from nervousness to giddiness in a matter of seconds.

You couldn't turn towards him because you could hear the smile in his voice at the mere mention of her name. You were afraid that if you saw how he beamed at the thought of her that the butterflies that were swarming in your stomach just a few seconds earlier would escape onto the concrete in front of you.

"She's single," you affirmed with a stiff nod.

"Do you think you could set me up with her?" He immediately asked, a hopeful tone in his voice. Each word that came out of his mouth felt like a blow to the gut, killing off each butterfly one by one.

Your head shook 'no' before you could even form the words. "I-...I don't think I could."

"Oh, come on, please?" He suddenly pleaded, turning towards you once again. He wanted you to look at him, whether intentionally or not he knew that if you made eye contact with him you'd fall into his trap just like everyone else.

"Just get one of the basketball players to help. Or one of their cheerleader girlfriends." you tried to reason. "It's not the same," he muttered, tilting his head towards the sky, another whine threatening to come out of his mouth.

"Come on, you'd be the perfect wing-woman. you're good friends with her so it'd be easy and less weird when someone she barely knows tries to set her up with me," he argued, adding onto why he wanted you to set him up with her.

You bit your lip in contemplation. It felt like the obvious answer was 'NO!' but another part of you wanted to agree to set them up. You were happy with the relationship you and Riki had started to build together and you didn't want an elementary crush to get in the way of that.

There was always the lingering possibility that you and him were only ever meant to be friends and nothing more, and maybe, just maybe, Jiwoo was the one for him.

"What do I get out of this?" You quietly asked after the lingering silence.

"Anything you want. If you do this for me I promise I'll pay you back" He swiftly responded before stopping in his tracks, instinctively making you stop alongside him. "Please, just do this for me." He begged, his hands fidgeting with the rings on his fingers as he waited for your answer.

"Fine, I'll help you."
