night had already fallen upon hybe building and y/n was still in the practice room, staying stuck on a few dance moves that had her frustrated.
âno this is not right..,â she grumbled to herself, sighing in defeat.
âyouâre still here?â a voice bellowed from behind with a chuckle afterwards.
the girl quickly turned and was delighted with a smile plastered across her face.
âsunghoon!â she beamed. âwhat are you still doing here?â her voice squeaked, heart doing somersaults in the sight of her handsome friend.
âi should be asking you that question.â he grinned ear to ear as he watched his best friend continue to try and catch her breath.
âyouâre practicing so late, y/n. you know thatâs not good,â sunghoon frowned. âtrainer kimâs already gone for the night.â
she rolled her eyes at his little scowl. âi know, i know.., i just really wanted to get this dance move down.â
hoon shook his head at her words before handing her an icy, cold water bottle. âwell cool down, wonât you? i have good news.â
her heart slightly clenched in response. what could be such good news at midnight?
y/n gave a quiet nod and he shyly smiled to himself.
it couldnât be, could it?
her body was tensing with every second he let pass by in his utter motive to irk impatience.
âsunghoon!â she fumed, nudging his shoulder back in slight frustration.
the male laughed in return, fangs flashing to make her a blushing mess as he uttered, âsorry, sorry! i just wanted to build it up!â
her eyes playfully rolled as he continued.
âwonyoung and i are finally going out! you remember her, right?â
remember her? yeah.
how wouldnât she remember such a pretty girl like her?
the way that starship trainee mindlessly talked to sunghoon, swooning him with her simple words that already had him flustered.
heck, wonyoung did what y/n couldnât â and that was leave the friend zone.
everything else he chattered on about afterward almost deafened in y/nâs ears. she couldnât feel anything but her heart that shattered into a million pieces. every small shard striking her by the vein in her blood, giving a numbing sensation in her hands.
ây/n?â he called, looking at her for approval. âwhat do you think?â
what did she think? why would that matter if he was going out with someone else?
âgood..!â she mumbled, voice almost coming to a quiet squeak. âthatâs good for you, hoon!â
âi was just with her and..,â
he kept going on and on, but she couldnât bare to hear it.
how could she when she was in love with him? her best friend. her everything. her favorite person who she couldnât call hers.
they went through thick and thin as trainees of hybe â experiencing everything big and small thatâd always be celebrated upon.
and it wasnât like she hated wonyoung. no, that gorgeous girl was too good for the world. how could she hate her?
but she knew sheâd have to keep a distance.
she couldnât do anything else but accept it anyway. besides, it was just the right thing.
.ă . âą â . ° .⹠°:. *â ° . â
about a month had flashed by before y/n knew it, and though it wasnât the easiest, her and sunghoon werenât as close anymore.
he spent most of his time with his girlfriend, ensuring her the best like a good boyfriend.
but even then, heâd still try to make plans with y/n â hinting at little cafe places to try, asking about convenience store runs, murmuring about plans to sneak out of the dorms for their weekly movie nights â but she always rejected.
she avoided him with every intention she had.
if he tried to talk to her, sheâd adjust her attention to someone else.
if he tried to get a duo dance with her, sheâd quietly ask the trainer to switch with another person.
sunghoon didnât know if he did something wrong but he knew the energy was off between them, as if something drifted them apart.
and to make matters worst, she had gotten closer to jake â another hybe trainee in their friend group.
hoon didnât know why, but he hated seeing them become an iconic duo. the way jake mindlessly stepped into his position as her designated best friend was throwing him off.
he hated it. every time heâd notice their interactions, heâd find himself clenching with a tense jaw and fisted hands.
but why?
the only excuse he could find to all of this stupid resentment he had towards the aussie boy was that him and y/n werenât the same anymore.
not at all.
and it was confirmed once he heard little mentions of âweekly movie nightsâ pass through his ears.
sunghoon rolled his eyes with a quiet scoff leaving his throat, hating how sour he turned in a quick second.
âuhm..,â jungwon cleared his throat. âare you.. okay?â
the members, excluding jake, turned to the boy who was undeniably burning holes at the two in front of him.
âsunghoon..?â jay poked, shifting his gaze to the oldest member.
heeseung knew not to mess with hoon when he was pissed, so when he turned his direction where the boy was staring at, he prayed a little for jake.
âyou canât be jealous,â the oldest one murmured with a pat to the latterâs back.
âwhat?â sunghoon spat back with an annoyed face. âwhy would i even be jealous? iâm with wonyoung.â
âright, so.. you canât be staring at them that way.â
âwhat does it matter anyway? itâs not like sheâll talk to me.â
the other members chose not to comment afterward, letting hoon continue to glare at the two with soft sighs leaving them.
he hated what was in front of him.
how could he be okay with this? how could he even be feeling this?
the burning in his heart. the rage-filled eyes. the tensed-up jaw. the fuming curse words inexplicably forming in his head.
was it really jealousy?
no. canât be.
âcan it?â he quietly questioned to himself, looking at the ground before picking his head back up to glance at the two.
the way y/n loudly laughed and slapped jakeâs arm like it was nothing. the way sheâd make her usual disgusted look as instinct. the way her fingertips would unintentionally drag against his when heâd offer a water bottle.
fuck, he hated this.
was it possible to be jealous over a best friend like this?
âbut maybe i just miss how we used to be,â heâd attempt to rationalize.
but even then, it boiled every bit of blood he had whenever heâd find his best friend and another close trainee giggling about whatever was talked about.
.ă . âą â . ° .⹠°:. *â ° . â
everyone was almost done for the night as they gathered into a huge circle with breath pants heard in the room, many still wheezing from practice.
âso,â niki gasped, body almost completely down on the ground. âmovie night?â
a spark hit y/nâs heart when the suggestion was put out there, taking a small glance to sunghoon who already had his gaze on her.
his eyes softened once they met and it seemed to cry out for her â almost asking if she even remembered any of the memories they shared when it was a movie night, and it was just them.
and when itâd get late in the night, theyâd fall asleep on each others shoulder, heads bunking against each others with quiet snores and aching backs from their positions.
then a blanket would âmagicallyâ fall over them, causing the two to cuddle as platonic friends (who were obviously in love with each other).
but she couldnât think that way.
not when he had a girlfriend.
still though, she couldnât help but let her eyes stay on his a little longer than intended, eventually letting it linger onto every facial feature on him that she used to adore.
his moles, his fanged smile, his thick brows, his charming eyes â with her effort to avoid him, her heart beat more than it did before after re-loving his features.
but she turned away after feeling like a creep, shifting it to jake instead, who was smiling like a puppy with big eyes.
âyes, a movie!â she heard him beam.
best friend coded indeed.
a smile curled onto her lips as she heard each member chime in on their part to agree.
âiâm in,â sunghoonâs aggressive voice uttered.
the rest of the members turned to y/n with pleading eyes â âwhat about you?â
she took a gulp. she wanted to reject after finding out that heâd be there but they were all still friends.
âum..,â she croaked, chewing her lips while avoiding eye contact from the boy she was still in love with.
âoh come on! you and sunghoon used to always have secret movie nights with just the two of you!â niki yelled in defense, causing a loud smack to be thrown at him from jay.
it was awkward and quiet given that everybody knew the two used to be inseparable.
a tense chuckle erupted out of y/n while she only scratched her head.
âyeah we did..,â she admitted. âbut i donât know, theyâve become more strict with where we go now.â
âweâll be finee!â sunoo tried to deflect.
a few more pleadings happened here and there, eventually leading y/n to quietly fume out a â âfine.â
the six members cheered in delight while sunghoon hid his smile. he was finally going to spend some time with his best friend.
.ă . âą â . ° .⹠°:. *â ° . â
as the members happily walked out of the practice room, hoon was left alone, staying behind to clean up just a little more â unbeknownst to the fact that y/n had accidentally left her jacket in the room.
she walked back with quiet curse words in her head, hating to have to go back and forth.
when she walked in, she unexpectedly found sunghoon staring right at her with fluttered eyes.
âoh..,â she murmured, body tending in seconds.
âheyâŠ,â the boy replied, shoving his hands into his pockets with a slight sigh of relief. he was finally alone with her and his heart was melting at the fact that it was only them now.
âyou forget something?â
his thick brow raised in question, causing y/nâs stomach to flood with butterflies. she gulped and nodded before forcing her feet to move to her jacket â which was close to him.
âyeah..,â she awkwardly laughed. âi forgot my jacket, but iâll see you there!â
â© âi donât wanna tip toe, but i donât wanna hideâ â©
she attempted to leave but the pull on her wrist struck her back to the same spot as earlier.
y/n felt the grip of his hand softly tighten, careful to not be too rough in how he held her.
ây/n, talk to me.â
his husk voice rang in her ears, sending alarming signals throughout every part in her body as she shivered.
âwhat do you mean?â the girl tried to deflect, hating the sudden confrontation.
â© âbut i donât wanna feed this monstrous fireâ â©
âyou know..,â
a lump was caught in her throat and she couldnât get it past her to swallow it down.
âweâre gonna be late, sunghoon, we should go.â
her body faced the door, turning her back on him to finally leave the scene when his voice stopped her â âare you gonna keep avoiding me?â
y/nâs heart dropped. âno..,â she mumbled back with a lip bite. âweâre fine.â
âyou havenât talked to me in weeks, weâre not fine and you know it.â
when she turned to face him, she found the boy to strike her with unforgiving eyes that had tears almost taking its fall.
she hated that she was the reason for his obvious pain, but they were friends, why would it hurt him?
a sigh left her throat as she scoffingly smiled. âyouâre with wonyoung now, canât we just focus on that?â she tried to attempt another lip curl to uplift the mood, but sunghoon wasnât buying it.
âno, youâre my friend and i want to know why youâre not talking to me the way you used to.â his brows furrowed and a slight eye roll was taken as he thought back to her and jake laughing to themselves.
he watched her carefully for any readable expression but she only kept her gaze down.
âfriend?â she softly reiterated. âthatâs all i am to you?â
this time, it was sunghoon who froze in his stance. âwhat?â his eyes blinked repeatedly. âwhat are you talking about?â
his grip accidentally loosened and y/n felt it, taking the chance to slip out of the hold and say, ânevermind sunghoon, itâs nothing.â
âitâs not nothing if you canât tell me.â he grumbled, feeling slightly irritated at her lack of communication.
âdrop it.â
she walked towards the middle of the room, allowing him to catch up while uttering â âno, tell me.â
âitâs nothing.â
ây/n.â
his lips firmly pushed together as he expressed a disappointed reaction at her.
âlet it go, itâs not important.â
âso then just tell me.â
they went back and forth, voices overlapping and echoing over each others.
âsunghoon, enough!â y/n exclaimed, pushing his chest back. âit doesnât matter anyway so whatâs it to you?â
hoon clicked his tongue. âi know youâre purposely avoiding me but i honestly canât think of what iâve done, so iâm just gonna ask this once.â
he sighed before continuing, âwhy are you avoiding me? did i do something to upset you?â
â© âi didnât think youâd understand meâ â©
he leaned himself a little closer to her, causing the girl to softly back away with blushing cheeks. she hated how much her heart still lit up at every small thing he did.
âno, iâve just been busyâŠ,â
sunghoon scoffed, disbelief clear in that puff of air as he continued to gaze at her. âdonât try that with me, y/n. i know you, and i know you donât like to talk when something bad happens, so what happened?â
âhoon, enough, please.â
she picked her head up to peer back at him with pleading eyes, but he couldnât stop. he had to know.
âno.â he firmly spoke with a soft sigh. âyou canât get out of this because i need to know.â
y/n picked up on the way his eyes quickly watered. though he tried to hide it and look composed, she still couldnât help but notice the tears that built up around.
âwhy?â she exhaled a breath of hers. âwhy do you need to know so badly hoon?? weâre just friends.â
âfriendsâ â she hated how she had to confirm that to herself.
âexactly.â sunghoon spat. âyouâre my friend, youâre the one i go to about wonyoung and other things, and now youâre so suddenly close with jake. what even is that? youâre here, but why arenât you here for me?â
is that all she was to him?
her heart shattered, and all she wanted to do was clench onto the pain. she bit her lip as she responded, âjake has nothing to do with this, heâs only been close with me because of his interest in my friend. even then, you donât need to know this. youâre in a relationship now, there are limits that iâm not gonna cross because you should be telling wonyoung this, not me.â
she paused, clenching her teeth to bite back the tears that were close to streaming. âiâm not your girlfriend. iâm not.. your girlfriend.â she repeated, letting the second sentence bring her back to reality.
there was a flicker in his eyes once she confirmed it â like his gaze shifted from what was once stern to a softer stare.
but he stayed quiet for a while, unsure of what to say.
tension filled the air, and it was beginning to suffocate y/n with how awkward and tense it was.
âi missed you, did you know that?â sunghoon croaked in the silence, lips faintly curling. âi missed you, and i missed how we were. what did i do that made you not talk to me anymore? because whatever it was, iâm sorry.â
he didnât get the message, and he still wasnât understanding.
the boy continued to go on and on, apologizing for whatever he did that could possibly upset her.
âsunghoon-â but he kept blabbering.
âsunghoon-â but he couldnât stop thinking about what he did wrong.
âsunghoon!â she finally bursted, finally catching his attention.
he let his gaze fall on her and she heaved her chest in fear, feeling her legs become limb.
âi..,â her voice trailed off, stopping herself to not say the three words thats been stuck in her head. âi canât be friends with you.â
her heart shriveled at the words that left her mouth. she didnât know whatâd spew out, but once it echoed in the room, she couldnât take it back.
âwhat?â hoon softly murmured, taking small steps closer to her.
his face was close enough that she could feel his breath hit her skin, but not too close where his lips could ghost over hers.
âwhy?â
y/nâs gaze fell down to his lips and watched how it trembled. he was hurt.
her head was still drooped low until his finger hooked under her chin, bringing it up so they could lock eye contact.
âtell me.â he softly whispered, softened eyes indicating that he wanted to hear the truth.
the girl didnât do anything, letting silence take over once more before a phone buzzed in the room.
the two snapped out of it, turning their attention towards the device and seeing the contact name of jungwon pop up.
âare you guys coming? whatâs taking you guys so long? ă ă ă ă ă â
a sigh escaped from y/nâs lips as she finally backed away.
once the jacket and the phone was in her possession, she found sunghoon already close to the door.
he gave the cold shoulder, eyes faintly giving a glare towards her, but she still found a hint of her best friend in there.
he scoffed a little before leaving the practice room to herself.
right, she said they couldnât be friends.
she sighed as she held herself back longer than intended so she wouldnât cross with him, soon leaving to jayâs place right after.
.ă . âą â . ° .⹠°:. *â ° . â
as the night progressed further and y/n finally arrived not too long after sunghoon did, their movie night eventually begun.
the film was decided upon a vote, clearing it to be a horror movie, as always.
a few members situated themselves on the ground while others sat on the couch â including y/n who was comfortably by jake.
sunghoon stayed in the kitchen, gathering his snacks before approaching the group of idiots clustered into one.
âsunghoon hyung, i saved you a spot on the couch!â jungwon beamed, patting the cushioned seat though sitting on the ground.
the older boy grinned with a murmur of âthanks.â
but when he looked up at the people on the furniture, his heart slightly dropped. the girl who wasnât his friend anymore was next to jake (like always).
he softly grumbled quiet curse words. was it jealousy again?
whatever. it wasnât like he cared anyway. (he did)
â© âyou cling onto your papers and pensâ â©
y/n was now squeezed between jake, who was all giddy about his current crush and sunghoon, who was her used-to-be best friend.
the film finally started and the lights were completely turned out for the full horror effect.
but the girl didnât like horror movies. as much as she hated it, she couldnât oppose to it with how much excitement thrilled the boys, so she forced herself.
or tried to force herself.
throughout the movie, sheâd try to hide behind her hands, covering her eyes so she could only look at what she wanted to see.
sunghoon couldnât help but linger his gaze over to her. he knew she didnât like anything horror. heck, she used to scold him whenever heâd put it on to tease.
â© âwait until you like me againâ â©
watching her peek through her hands was adorable, and watching her quietly squeal at every small jumpscare was heart-throbbing.
wait. adorable and heart-throbbing?
was he going crazy?
he shook his head, hating that he slowly transitioned to this thinking.
the boy tried to change his attention back to the screen in front of him, but theyâd still linger back onto her.
and of course she didnât notice, her eyes were basically closed with how much she shielded herself away from the movie.
his heart always felt full at the sight of her. how could it not? the way she looked in desperate need to cling onto someone (him), and the way she was almost about to burst with how much horror movies bothered her.
he wanted to hold and comfort her, just anything for her to know that she shouldnât fear such a thing, but as a friend right?
sunghoon chewed his cheeks in thought. how could he be thinking this when she stated she couldnât be friends with him?
he sighed and forced himself to stare at the tv screen, hating the conflicting swelling in his chest.
.ă . âą â . ° .⹠°:. *â ° . â
when the movie ended, most of the members had knocked out.
the ones on the ground overlapped legs and arms with each others while jake took up half of the couch, leaving y/n to curl up into a ball and be slightly close to sunghoon.
the only one awake was hoon, chuckling as he turned off the end credits of the movie.
once he was comfortably situated in the tight space, he scrolled through social media, laughing about whatever until he felt a sudden bump on his shoulder.
sunghoon paused once he confirmed what he thought it was. he took a gulp, and turned towards the direction of the thunk.
the sight in front of him had his heart fluttering. he found y/n soundlessly asleep with her head set on his shoulder, quiet snores leaving her mouth as she unintentionally snuggled closer.
he missed this. all he could think about was how theyâd fall asleep after their own movie nights, and sheâd rest against his shoulder with their height difference.
he smiled to himself, lips stupidly curling at every memory flooding back. then heâd think about every little thing y/n would laugh about, every small detail about him that she made sure to remember, every single recollection that they shared together.
then he started thinking about her and her personality that was made match in heaven to suit him.
and eventually, itâd lead to her attractive features â her crooked smile, her eye smiles, her constant nose crinkles, her adorable habits that he loved to copy.
god, he looked like an idiot with how much he smiled to himself.
he didnât even smile like this when he thought about wonyoung, but he loved her, not y/n.
then the trickling fear hit him.
panic spread across his face as he looked back at the sound-asleep girl next to him.
his heart was almost beating out of his chest once he realized it.
she was right. they couldnât be friends.
â© âwait for your loveâ â©

some ppl on here are so weird like why are you pretending to be japanese and korean
tinnitus play and suddenly im climbing up the walls scratching the ceiling rolling up the floor juggling my nuts shaking my ass
god, i am so fucking pissed. i havenât been on twit for a little bit but i just went on there and iâm bombarded with videos and photos of the members being mobbed. when i tell you i am so fucking pissed, youâd best fucking believe. i really donât think that belift realizes, or they just donât give a shit, that these intense situations can lead to a lot of mental and physical distress. like, i know someone did not just hit sunghoon in the fucking head with a goddamn phone!? especially after he just got back from being unwell?! when i tell you i am so close to fighting each and every single chinese âengeneâ that was there, i fucking mean it. like the mental affliction alone is a lot. the stress the members must have endured in that?? like imagine how claustrophobic it would be to have so many people, pressing themselves up against you to the point where it starts getting difficult to breathe. them screaming in your ears to the point you can barely hear your own voice. great way to induce a fucking panic attack. the stress of it all? like, belift does not fucking think!? not only the mental impact this could have on them, but also the physical effects that could potentially transpire? if the stress got to them, they literally couldâve fainted, thrown up, etc etc.
TW!! not only that, but what if someone tried something on one of the members. they could get groped or fucking killed. god forbid, but letâs face it. these âfansâ are fucking insane. theyâve threatened to hurt our boys before. you have no idea what could happen if these situations are not handled appropriately and effectively. things could go so terribly wrong if someone actually did try to do something or had a weapon with them. belift is actively putting enhypen in consistent danger. they need to hire professionally trained bodyguards and have at least 2-3 bodyguards per member in order to properly protect them. the members are humans and belift needs to start treating them as such instead of as assets.
ensuring the safety of enhypen should be a top priority. i hope belift takes the necessary steps to protect them better. but knowing them, itâs unlikelyâŠ

again, no need to interact, just felt i needed to get this out here. i hope enha is doing better, and i hope belift finally fucking does something but, again, knowing them, they likely wonât.
iâve realized that this is my second-third serious post in such short time, but i realize that thereâs just a lot of people who are messed up in the brain both when it comes to enha as one and riki by himself.

Up until you were four years old, christmas used to be your favorite holiday. You still remember your late motherâs tradition of hanging stockings with your names right next to the tree she had spent hours decorating and each year youâd watch your father get more and more excited about coming home to his girls to finally spend some time with the ones he loved the most.
In the year your mother had passed away, your father hadnât even bothered to set up a tree, decorate the house or even buy you a little something. To your luck, your maternal aunt had made it her mission to carry on her sisterâs tradition, so that was how you had found yourself at a dinner table with your dearest people, eating and laughing, forgetting about the pain in your chest for just a little while.
In the following years, your stepmother had never tried to recreate any of your old traditions and after a while you had stopped asking for it. By the time you had reached your pre-teen years, you were the older sister and maternal figure to two little boys, trying your best to give them memorable christmas memories and even going as far as saving up every cent you had received to buy them presents. You still remember the way Rikiâs little face had lit up the second you had handed him that tiny little box with an action figure he had been asking for for months at that time.
As you two had grown older, your friend circle expanding and the concept of a found family becoming more and more right, you had started your annual friendsmas dinners, a tradition Jaeyun introduced you to all the way back in middle school and ever since that, every one of you had always made sure to find at least one day during the holiday season, which was exclusively reserved for your real family.
Maybe the comfort of your favorite people sitting at the dinner table, laughing and enjoying each otherâs presence and knowing theyâre the ones you feel the safest with is what makes it so much easier to spend so much time in such close proximity to the young man whoâs been involuntarily spending a lot of time in your thoughts.
You hate Park Sunghoon. You hate him for looking as good as he does, for his soothing voice, his pretty smile and his dry humor. You hate how much you have to hold yourself back from laughing along to his silly little jokes and puns, and you canât stand how badly you want to be even closer to him.
When he arrived with the beverages and a shit ton of snacks a few hours earlier, you physically couldnât keep your eyes off of him. The dress shirt heâs wearing hugging his muscular torso in just the right places and his sweet scent â a combin of his aftershave and cologne â driving you into absolute insanity and if it wasnât for the other boys being extra attentive, you would have pulled him into your room just to get another taste of him.
Yet every single time you catch yourself staring at him, your chest tightens and your little self is yelling and screaming at you for betraying her like that.
Because, no matter how much you deny it, you donât actually hate Sunghoon as much as you want to. Thereâs no way you could ever feel as comfortable and at ease around someone you hate.
You two had managed to get along with each other for your friendsâ sake, especially your younger brotherâs, so why have things suddenly taken such a big turn? Was it the sex? Was it the kisses youâve been daydreaming about? Was it the feeling of the way heâs shown you a side of yourself youâve always been too afraid to look into? Or was it the way your tummy did this very special kind of flip whenever he buried his face in your neck, telling you how good you make him feel and how heâs gonna make sure to ruin you for every other man on this planet?
After all these years filled with hatred and wrath, anger and disappointment, the deep feeling of betrayal and not knowing why he never talked to you again after you had spent so much time and tears trying to understand where you had gone wrong, you just donât know what to do with yourself.
Your younger self is losing her mind over your current thoughts about your biggest enemy but youâŠdonât actually mind them. Thereâs a weird sense of peace and comfort which comes with the thought of allowing yourself to feel something else beside the darkness of hate and wrath, something youâve never actually felt with anyone before.
And as those thoughts fill your head, you canât help but feel your chest tightening at the fact that thereâs never been anyone like Park Sunghoon to you. You still remember the times youâd come running to his door, tears streaming down your chubby cheeks as you tried to understand why your father had suddenly started to hate you, only for Sunghoon to be the one to comfort you and make sure you know your worth regardless of others perception of you.
Riki and Tsuki as well as all the other boys have always been there for you, yet during those times where you didnât have anyone, it was Park Sunghoon who held you in his arms.
All these years you had tried your best to push aside all those memories of all the times he had brought a smile onto your lips right before wiping your tears away and distracting you; the fact he didnât know any better because of just how young you two were breaking your heart into millions of pieces.
You still remember the day you had decided to do what you thought was best and quit the one thing that had never failed to comfort your young soul during the darkest times, the fear of losing your best friend consuming your brain in ways you have yet to process and thinking about it now, almost a decade later, you still canât help but feel tears welling up in your eyes as pain and sadness fill your chest.
In no universe could anything have prepared you for the actual outcome of a decision you had made for nobody but the person you loved the most, the sacrifice bigger than your young mind could have comprehended and the more you think about it, the angrier you get.
Of course Sunghoon had the right to be angry at you, but even now you canât understand why he just never talked to you again. You had already accepted the possibility of losing him over your big decision, this wasnât about you only, yet no matter how much time passes, you just canât get yourself to forgive him for putting you through the heartbreak of abandoning you when you had needed him the most.
âItâs time for secret santa, bitches!â
The loud yelling of your best friend right beside your ear brutally pulls you out of your sad ride down memory lane and with your brows furrowed in confusion you stare at Jaeyun, leaving him just as perplexed.
âItâs time for secret santaâŠladies?â
As those words leave his lips, you physically canât stop the hideous chuckle from bubbling up your throat, throwing your head back and punching your best friend's arm with your fist.
Itâs in moments like this where you realize just how much you appreciate the people youâve been calling your family for longer than you can remember, knowing theyâd never fail to pull you back to reality without even trying.
It doesnât take much for everyone to get even louder as a discussion about the present order stirs up and before anyone can get a little too worked up about it, you decide to opt for your usual routine.
âI fucking hate being the oldestâ, Heeseung pouts and doens the rest of his wine in one sip, his eyes rolling back as he lifts his middle finger up in the direction of your three youngest who have never let the opportunity pass to tease him for his age.
As the presents are being opened one by one, you attentively look at the little box in your hand, the name tag printed out to avoid anyone giving away their identity through their handwriting, a rule Jongseong had come up years ago and the longer you eye your neatly wrapped present, the more you wonder what it could be.
The fact you have absolutely no idea who your secret santa is, something youâve always been bad at when it came to this part of your friend groupâs tradition, Park Sunghoon canât help but feel his heart thrumming in his throat at the thought of your reaction.
In all those years, you two had actually managed to never pick each other â until this year. Sunghoon still remembers the way his heart had dropped when he had read your name on the little note, a ton of ideas instantly popping up in his head only for his younger self to take them all and stomp them to the ground.
However, after a whole decade of letting his angry pre-teen self win those fights, Sunghoon has decided to finally put an end to the feud between the two of you and for once in his life the stars were on his side.
It took him exactly a month to come up with the perfect secret santa present for you, one thatâd not only show you how over the ongoing war between you two he is, but also one he could use as a way to maybe win you over again.
If someone had told him about the thoughts heâd have about you only four months prior to this friendsmas dinner, Sunghoon would have told them to stop wasting his time because in no way could he have imagined things to turn out like this. But now? Now heâs genuinely excited and actually nervous about your reaction to the present he had gotten you and the most important part about it all is the fact heâs not even mad about feeling the way he does.
He still hates you.
But after all these years, heâs grown tired, mentally and physically exhausted of denying how much he actually wants you and how heâs always longed for your actual presence in his life.
It took quite a few conversations with Jaeyun to finally admit this to himself but at the end of the day Sunghoon knew there wasnât a point in his denial so heâs just decided to accept things.
At the end of the day the day will come where he has to let you go completely and after years and years of emotional distance, Sunghoon has now come to the point where it just doesnât make sense anymore.
He still hates you, with the entirety of his cold heart and yet heâs never, ever craved anybodyâs touch and presence as much as yours. To admit to himself that all of this wasnât just about the way youâve mad ehim feel in a sexual manner was definitely one of the hardest pills heâs ever had to swallow but now that itâs gone and done, Hoon actually feels relieved.
Maybe thatâs why he decided to opt for a present which carries a lot more sentimental value than any other gift heâs ever given but if life is on his side just this once, you probably wonât ever know who your secret santa is.
With his heart brutally hammering against his rib cage, Sunghoon carefully watches the way you clap your hands in excitement when your turn finally arrives.
For some reason, unusual silence fills your comforting living room as you gently rip apart the perfectly themed gift wrapper and reveal a tiny little jewelry box to everyoneâs curious eyes.
âOh?â You canât help but mumble, a weird yet comfortable feeling settling into your muscles when you pull out the little car underneath the box, the boys quickly urging you to read it out loud, to your surprise however, itâs written in your mother tongue.
As it takes you a good second to translate the words on the little note, you gasp for air once your brain finally realizes what youâve just read.
âOh, come on! Donât fuck with us!â Jungwon pouts and reaches for the card, only for his brows to furrow once he notices the foreign language.
âWhat? What is it?â This time itâs your brotherâs voice and itâs then that you quickly get up and reach for the little card, the message too deep, too close to your heart to blurt out, even into your closest circle of friends.
âOpen the box then!â Sunoo reminds you and itâs then that you find yourself holding onto your present like your life depends on it as your chest continues to tighten.
Just as the note had stated, youâre met with the sight of a beautiful ring, with your motherâs birthstone as the center of attention.
âCan I read it out loud?â Riki asks calmly, his voice slightly hoarse and strained, letting you and everyone else know just how emotional itâs gotten him as well. Unable to form another word, you nod.
âDear Y/Nâ, your brother begins as the room falls silent once again, âif thereâs one thing in this world that Iâm actually sure about, itâs about how proud your late mother is of you and the woman youâre growing into every single day. Take this as a way to carry her by your side, as her birthstone reminds you of the great impact sheâs had on your life and the ones of the people she was surrounded by. Sincerely, your secret santa.â
As you listen to the translation of the sweetest letter youâve ever received you canât help but actually let out a soft sob, the holidays being some of toughest times in your life since the passing of your mother and the fact you have people as caring and attentive as this in your life will probably remain one of the few things to break down those walls you had worked so hard to built.
âOh wowâ, Jongseong suddenly whispers and breaks the silence, his reaction finally making you look up from the ring just to be met with a bunch of teary eyes as they all take in a moment filled with such love and happiness.
âThis is the sweetest and most thoughtful gift weâve ever had in our secret santa roundâ, Wonie chuckles and quickly wipes away his tears, his usually so excited eyes filled with a pain thatâs dedicated to you and the deep wound in your chest, this kind of compassion something youâve only ever received from your closest friends.
âThank you so muchâ, you whisper into the round and take the ring out of the box to gently put it onto your ring finger, the fit almost too perfect and with curious eyes you try your best to study the reactions of your friends to see if you can actually read their facial expressions for once during this part of your traditional dinner.
And just when youâre about to get confused because of the genuine surprise in everyoneâs face, your gaze finally shifts to the one guy youâve tried so hard not to fall for in these past few weeks, maybe even years but thatâs something for another time.
Sunghoon almost looks like heâs been caught once your eyes meet and itâs that exact moment where you realise the identity of your secret santa.
However, the sudden and very urgent ringing of your doorbell comes to save the both of you from a confrontation neither is quite ready for just yet.
You might be naive or too deep in your denial, but for now youâre going to allow yourself to enjoy this present and the sentiment it comes with, rather than worry about whatever this heavy tension between you and your archenemy has suddenly turned to.
âIâll go get itâ, you quickly say and avert your gaze from Sunghoonâs dark eyes, too emotionally vulnerable to give yourself another minute of staring at him with everyone around, âSeungie open your present, Iâll be right back. It's probably just a neighbor!â
You basically jump out of your seat in hopes of escaping the thick tension between you and the only man youâve ever been openly vulnerable with, something you just canât seem to forget and as your shaky legs carry you to your front door, you wonder which one of your sweet neighbors is in such a rush to the point where breaking your doorbell was deemed necessary.
Now, there are quite a few faces and voices you expected, but definitely not the ones belonging to none other than your biggest walking nightmare.
With wide eyes and your heart instantly dropping into your stomach, you feel a wave of fear and anxiety overwhelm your senses as you stare right into the hateful, angry eyes of your stepmother.
âWhat theââ, âYou ungrateful, spoiled, selfish whore of a girlâ, she screams, intentionally raising the volume of her voice as her hurtful words start echoing in the hallway of your apartment building.
The sudden urge to just slam the door shut again to keep yourself safe and protected from the pain and heartbreak you know sheâs gonna put yoj through becomes overwhelming but before your body can even react to the sheer amount of stress and anxiety rushing through your veins, sheâs already pushed you to the side, letting herself inside of your home the same way she did almost two decades ago.
âWhat are you doing here?â Your voice is quiet, much calmer than hers and to your surprise you donât seem to let her and her words get to you the way you normally would. Itâs rather confusion youâre dealing with, since nothing or nobody could have prepared you for her presence. You havenât seen her in almost five years after all, not after she had convinced your own, biological father to finally disown you after years and years of neglect and torture.
âIâm here to get what rightfully belongs to me and my daughter, the sister you abandoned!â
Her voice, its volume and her precise choice of words have always been something that never failed to trigger the weirdest reactions deep inside of your chest and before you can even think about anything else, you furrow your brows and finally get yourself to look into her eyes.
âWatch the way you talk to me in my own fucking home, you witchâ, you spit right back at her, anger, wrath and frustration mixing in your veins the longer you look into her dark eyes, the resemblance to your brotherâs so inhense, you canât help but hate life for making him her carbon copy.
Riki has never looked at you with anything but love, compassion, empathy and kindness. His eyes have never failed to make you feel at ease and not once were they filled with disappointment and hatred, building the absolute contrast to the ones youâre currently staring into.
Just as expected, it doesnât take much time for your friends to be alarmed by the sound of the rather unfamiliar voice.
âWhatâs going on? Mom, why the fuck are you here?â
Your stepmother seems appalled, shocked and utterly shocked at her sonâs choice of words and as you watch the way her face drop only for her eyes to darken even further, you find yourself taking a step back to somehow protect yourself, only for a familiar scent to fill your nose.
However, in that moment you canât get yourself to worry about how your lack of reaction to Sunghoonâs presence in your back might come across to the others in the room.
âYouâre both a disgrace to our family name and Iâm ashamed youâre both somehow related to meâ, she snaps and quickly averts her gaze to fall on you again, her eyes filled with an even deeper hatred than before.
âMom, what the fuck do you want from us? Werenât we clear enough about our decisions? You canât fucking force us to give you money we donât even have!â
Itâs in moments like these where you watch your younger brother turn back into the tiny little kid you had raised, the one who always tried to have your back and never let anyone hurt you even more. He seems so lost, so confused and overwhelmed and every time youâre met with the sight of his usually so kind eyes filled with nothing but pain and agony, you remember all the times he had cried in your arms asking why your parents never loved the two of you the way parents are supposed to.
âMoney you donât have?â, the sudden switch in language feels overwhelming, yet your brain quickly adapts to the change and for a moment youâre actually grateful, âwhy do you two live in an apartment like this then? You have a fucking internship and I know this loser has more than enough saved on the side.â
âWeâre not gonna finance another one of your spoiled kids just because she thinks sheâs entitled to go to a fucking boarding schoolâ, Riki is quick to reply and internally you thank him for his speed, knowing she would have chewed you out by now if it wasnât for him.
You can feel everyoneâs eyes in your back, a wave of shame and guilt, anger and embarrassment spreading in your chest as you find yourself in another screaming match right in front of all of your friends just the way you used to back then.
Because, no matter what, your father and his wife had always made sure to humiliate and embarrass you in front of the only people you care about.
For a moment, your mind goes blank.
It feels like youâre ten years old all over again and your brain simply doesnât know how to handle all the emotions washing over you. The urge to run away and hide in the darkest corner of your room the way you used to do it back when you were a little girl suddenly becomes overwhelming and yet, the strong presence in your back calms you down in a way youâve never experienced it before. Thereâs just something so familiar and comforting about the knowledge that of all people, itâs Sunghoon whoâs ready to step in if he needs to.
With your heart hammering against your rib cage you notice that a thin veil of tears has blurred your vision and as soon as your eyes meet your stepmotherâs, you feel yourself snap back into reality.
She canât hurt you anymore.
Your father isnât there to defend and support her, nor are you alone with her.
Itâs you and the only people who have ever cared about your wellbeing against her and youâd be damned if you didnât use this to your advantage.
âSheâs turned you into an even bigger hypocrite than herself!â
Those words, however, leave you speechless once again.
Agonizing silence erupts in the tiny space of your hallway and with big eyes you try your best to stay composed.
If thereâs one thing youâve always tend to forget about your stepmother is just how unhinged and reckless she can be. Everything she says and throws into your face is a weapon, something to hurt and break your soul with.
âWhat the fuck does that even mean? If there are any hypocrites in this fucked up family itâs you and your lousy excuse of a husband!â, Riki screams back at her, the volume of his voice so loud and unfamiliar, you canât remember the last time youâve heard him like this.
âOh, really? So, she still hasnât told you about it, hm?â
Thereâs only everbeen two times in your life where your elt your heart drop as hard and painful as right now and the longer you stare at the oman who was supposed to be your maternal figure, only to fail miserably, the tighter your chest becomes.
She hates you; thereâs probably not an ounce of empathy or love for you in her cold heart, but she wouldnât actually do this, not when it was the last thing you had begged her and your father for before you left your childhood home five years ago.
âHasnât told me what? What are you talking about? Stop fucking with me, Momâ, your brother presses through gritted teeth, his hands balled into tight fists, so tight his knuckles have turned white already and if it wasnât for his two best friends holding his arms, youâre pretty sure he would have lost his composure already.
âDonâtâ, you whisper and subconsciously reach for her, only for Sunghoon to quickly pull your arm back because he knows youâd never forgive yourself if you actually gave in to her manipulative tactics, âplease, donât. Not here. Not now.â
âOh, now you know how to be polite? Fuck youâ, your stepmother scoffs and rolls her eyes at you, stomping every tiny bit of hope youâve had left into the ground just like that and as your brotherâs head turns to look into your face, you realize thereâs no way out but to accept your fate.
âSheâs the biggest fucking hypocrite because every time you both accused us of favoritism, she turned around and did the same with you and her other siblingsâ, she suddenly begins and with your head hanging low, you know sheâs going to expose you to the only people who have ever deemed you worthy of their love and trust, especially your brother.
âWhat?â Riki mumbles confused, his eyes nervously roaming your face as he looks for answers in your body language only to notice how defeated and exhausted you seem.
âIf your father and I favored your to siblings over you two, then she made sure to do the same with you, tooâ, your stepmother repeated herself, her voice filled burning in your eardrum like venom, âbecause she went and gave up on her so called âbiggest dreamâ for you, yet canât even get herself to contribute a single cent to her other siblingsâ education.â
Silence.
Heartbreaking, soul shattering silence is the only thing to follow the hateful words of your brotherâs mother.
For a moment, youâre pretty sure nobody in the room dares to take a single breather as they all take in Rikiâs reaction to the one secret youâve been keeping to yourself for so long, knowing he would have never forgiven himself if you had told him all those years ago.
âWhat?â
Sunghoonâs voice is the one to rip your heart into shreds and yet a huge wave of confusion hits you right afterwards, not quite understanding how in the world he could have understood when your stepmother had been talking in her mother tongue the whole time.
âIs that true?â This time your brother manages to form a coherent sentence, his voice so mall youâre afraid heâll break if he spoke too loudly and for some reason, the only thing you can manage to respond with is a nod. Too ashamed of your secret, too afraid of his reaction.
Who could have blamed you for keeping this to yourself when Riki has been he first in your life to support you regardless of other peopleâs perception of you. No matter what, where or who it was about, your little brother has always been the one to have your back, so abandoning your dream in order to give him the opportunities youâve never had seemed the only choice to make.
âWhatâŠthe fuck?â, Riki breathes and stares at you through a thick veil of tears, his heart breaking into thousands of pieces as he realizes that heâs the reason behind the biggest sacrifice youâve ever made in your life.
All this time heâd wonder why you had decided to abandon your dream to the point where even the sight of an ice rink broke your heart, only for his existence to be the answer.
âSay somethingâ, your brother begs, his voice a mere whisper, âplease, Y/N. Please, tell me you didnât choose my future over your biggest passion.â
You canât even get yourself to lift your head, the thought of looking into your brotherâs eyes pushing you deeper into the darkness of your pain, only for Sunghoon to forcefully pull you out of it.
âThatâs why you stopped skating?â
The question seems so random and out of place, not something you should be talking about in that moment and yet nothing has made more sense to him as this.
After almost a decade of wondering why you had decided to abandon not only your passion but him, your partner of four years, all your hard work and effort, Sunghoon has finally gotten his response, only for his heart to break all over again.
All of a sudden, heâs back at the ice rink, impatiently waiting for you to show up next to him as the host of the national competition announces your name for the third time. All of a sudden the same anger, disappointment and confusion fills his chest all over again and before he can even realize, heâs gasping for air.
âHold the fuck upâ, Riki suddenly intervenes, âwhy the fuck are you so fluent in Japanese?â
âYou â understood what she said?â, is the only question you manage to form as you slowly turn around to face him, yet not bothering to step away from him because no matter what, if thereâs one person whose anger has never, ever scared you, itâs Park Sunghoonâs.
In the deepest bits of your coldened heart, you always knew heâd keep you safe and sound, regardless of the hatred you two had built up for each other over the years.
Heâs always been your safe place and as you look up to meet his gaze, youâre met with a look filled with nothing but genuine confusion and pain.
A pain so deep, so intense, you chest tightens with each breath you manage to take.
âWhy â Why didnât you justâŠtell me?â Sunghoon is now the one to whisper, his thick brows furrowed and when your brain finally processes his words, you canât help but let the rage take over your pain for a minute.
âI fucking didâ, you suddenly hiss and stare at him with tears streaming down your cheeks, the situation turning you both into your younger selves as you finally allied yourself to feel the anger and disappoint of being abandoned by one o the two people who your life had revolved around for so long.
âYou were the only person I ever told about this in my letterâ, the words leave your mouth before your brain can even overthink them, too much pent up frustration filling your veins for your body to handle, âand yet you chose to abandon and ignore me. You left me when I needed you the most, Park Sunghoon. You were the only hope I had left and what the fuck did you do instead? You left and never looked back, not once.â
For the first time in his life, Sunghoon feels absolutely speechless.
Your words, the anger and pain in your voice, your tears and little sobs make their way through his skull and yet, the entirety of his vocabulary seems to have vanished. Maybe itâs the sudden switch into his mother tongue or maybe, just maybe itâs the fact he has absolutely no idea what letter youâre actually referring to.
Tsuki is quick to be by your side, your brother still too overwhelmed by his motherâs words and her being the only one besides him and apparently your biggest enemy to understand the entire situation, you canât help but bury your face in her shoulder and sob uncontrollably.
Youâve never said these words out loud. Years and years of built up pain youâve had to lock away because the one person responsible for it had made it his life mission to let you know just how bad of a person you are to him.
All this time you tried to understand why Sunghoon had turned his back on you during the most difficult time in your life, when the only reason you had accepted your parentsâ ultimatum was because you were so, so sure your best friend would find a solution.
But at the end of the day you were left with no dream and no best friend to rely on.
âWhat letter?â
For a moment, youâre more than just sure your brain has finally reached the state where youâre making up voices and words, only for Sunghoon to repeat his question, this time a lot firmer and even more confused than the first time.
âWhat the fuck do you mean? The letter I wrote for you the week before the competitionâ, you reply and look at him with furrowed brows and a heavy chest.
âY/Nâ, Hoon whispers and for the first time in your life, you watch your former ice skating partner tear up, the sight of his pain filled eyes and the fact he had actually called you by your name to your face ripping you heart to shreds, yet not being enough to prepare you for the pain his following words would push you into.
âI never received a letterâ, he whispers and looks at you, and only you.
âWh-What? No, thatâs not possibleâ, you stammer and try to make sense of what he had just told you, the aching of your heart spreading into your whole body to the point where every breath you inhale pushes you deeper into the comfort of your suffering.
âI have no idea what letter youâre talking aboutâ, Sunghoon repeats himself and gulps harshly, swallowing his tears as his expression hardens, yet the agony remains lingering underneath the surface, âall I got was embarrassment and betrayal when I got to the ice rink and realized you werenât show up. No explanation, no fucking excuse. Not a single fucking answer as to why my best friend, the person Iâve poured my heart to for years would leave me hanging in front of hundreds of people.â
Sunghoon has never been a talkative person, not with too many people around, but heâs always known his way around words, something you found yourself admiring and actually falling for in the past.
But in this very moment, every single word falling past his lips turns into another knife slashing its way into the bleeding muscle in your chest, leaving you confused and overwhelmed.
âI didnât â No â My letter â I would never do that to youâ, you stumble over your words like a toddler, unable to find the right ones to explain your innocence.
âWhere is that fucking letter then, Y/N? What the fuck is going on?â
Maybe itâs the fact that Sunghoon has never been as emotionally overwhelmed as this before or maybe it's because the sight of your tear stained cheeks and confused eyes as you shake your head and deny his accusations but the longer he looks at you, the worse his soul bleeds.
After so many years of verbal and emotional abuse from his parents, you were the very first person in his life who had shown that there was more to life than just the validation of people who never wanted him. Of all people in this world, it was your hands he had put his tiny heart into because he knew youâd always keep it safe and protected, only for your absence to scar him forever.
For a single second, Sunghoonâs brain is filled with flashbacks about one of the most humiliating days in his life and as he shakes his head to get rid of all the bad memories, his gaze meets your stepmotherâs, bringing back a conversation he had tried so hard to suppress as the mee thought of it was enough to deepen his young torture.
âYouâ, he suddenly spits, his blood boiling in his veins as he remembers exactly how your stepmother had validated all of his thoughts and concerns.
âOh, come onâ, she scoffs and shrugs her shoulders, not an ounce of guilt or shame found anywhere, leaving the both of you completely shocked, âI just wanted to make sure he doesnât try to convince you to keep going. We knew you wouldnât back off so this was for the best. Rikiâs potential was too much to be wasted and we couldnât risk it for that little hobby of yours.â
You desperately try to process the things your stepmother is saying, yet youâve never struggled to understand your mother tongue as much as in this particular moment.
Yes, she hates you, always has and forever will, butâŠwas she really capable of something so cruel?
âYou neverâŠgave him the letter?â
âShe didnâtâ, Sunghoon presses through gritted teeth, his ears covered in the deepest shade of red as anger and weather come together in his blood, âall she did was tell me that you had decided to quit skating. After watching me get humiliated in front of all those people. For fuckâs sake, she told me you never actually wanted to be my skating partner and did it out of pity before he convinced my father to make me go solo and show you what youâre missing out on.â
âWhatâŠthe actual fuckâ, after what feels like an eternity, your brotherâs voice makes its way through the mess in your brain and before you can actually register all the emotions in his tired eyes, you watch Riki, one of the calmest and most understanding people youâve ever met, lose every bit of composure he had left.
âRikiââ, âDonâtâ, heâs quick to cut off his mother, Jungwon and Sunoo having to physically hold him back as the tears start streaming down his cheeks and despite everything you had just found out, itâs the sight of your brotherâs pain which breaks you.
âDonât ever say my name again. Donât call me or my sister ever again. Youâre the most disgusting and vile human being Iâve ever met. She was twelve!â, he screams and rips his arms out of his best friendsâ grips, approaching his mother with soft sobs escaping his throat.
âHow can someone â a mother do this to a little girl? You took her dream away from her, for what? To send me to a fucking boarding school I never even wanted to attend? And after all of the mental, emotional and verbal abuse you and your fucking loser of a husband have put us through, you still have the fucking audacity to show up at our door and demand money for children who donât give a flying fuck about us.â
Rikiâs words are harsh, his voice is loud and thereâs nothing positive about any of the things he says; everything heâs ever wanted to say is finally being heard and all you can do is watch and listen.
Just like his miserable excuse of a mother.
âRiki, Iââ, âShut the fuck up. I donât care anymore. Fuck you, fuck that husband youâre so proud of and fuck those stupid brats. You all deserve to rot in hell for the things youâve put us throughâ, your brotherâs chest is rising and falling at such speed, youâre genuinely worried for his physical health and even if it takes you a minute, youâre rather quick to notice the signs of an oncoming panic attack. Just like Sunghoon.
Before you can even think about intervening, you watch your former best friend make his way to your brother with just a few large steps, grabbing the younger oneâs biceps and almost forcefully pulling him down to his room.
âFuck off and donât ever come backâ, Riki suddenly yells as he watches his mother take a few steps back with genuine fear grazing her rather unattractive features, âyouâre dead to us. Every single one of you is.â
âThis is not done hereâ, your stepmotherâs words of protest definitely surprise you and as your eyes roam her face, you feel your brain shutting down, finally losing yourself in the sweet relief of disassociation the second your body canât handle any of it anymore.
âIt isâ, this time itâs Tsuki, her voice so strict and cold, you actually arenât sure if itâs her, âget the fuck out of here before we call the police.â
You donât actually hear the rest of the argument between your best friend and stepmother, too exhausted and tired, drained and worn out to think another thought, something your best friends are quick to notice and before you can even understand whatâs happening, you find yourself in the comfort of your bedroom.
âCome on, Y/Nâ, Jungwon whispers, his pretty eyes filled with deep concern and pain as he pulls the blanket over your slightly shaking body, âweâre here. Youâre safe.â
Those are the last words to make it through the fog in your head as you finally let go of every single thought and slowly drift into a deep, dreamless sleep.
And maybe itâs the pain of knowing he wonât ever get the past decade with you back or maybe itâs the fact someone else had decided to not only take away the biggest joy in his life but also the first and only person heâs ever felt safe with, but as Sunghoon gently caresses your hair, silently watching your expressions soften the deeper your sleep becomes, he simply canât stop the tears from streaming down his cheeks. his soft sobs and cries the only thing to fill the space of your bedroom.

for the riki smut writersâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž

REPORT RIKI SMUT
Please please please report ANY smut you see on here or anywhere abt Riki since it's literally the sexualization of a MINOR (legal age in Korea is 19) a main acc making smut of him is @inkysocker please report them and do NOT interact with their works. Idc if they try to say some middle school ass typa shit as a comeback. Riki has been one of the most sexualized idols since he was 14. People failing to see that and and contributing to the sexualization of a CHILD shows how fucking disgusting you guys are. I said it before and ill say it again, idc if you're younger than him or older, be a decent person and treat him like a normal fucking human being. And if you bring up any of the other members to excuse sexualizing him then you're just as bad as the smut writers. Also, please report any accs you see liking or reblogging any posts sexualizing him and if u dont then I hope you sleep well at night knowing youre disregarding the sexualization of a minor thats been going through this since he was a freshly turned teenager (sorry if there's any typos i js got my nails done and it's hella hard to type)

So romantic đđđđ he's so eager to meet me đ„°đ„°

â â LEE HEE-SEUNG. ìŽíŹìč boy can't take his eyes off your feet quite literally. from the moment you bring them out he's staring at the pair, watching your pretty hands put your pretty feet in them, tying the little pretty ribbons around your pretty ankles.
"baby, are you wearing that one?" heeseung asks, his brown orbs glued to the pastel green pencil heels you grab from your closet. slowly moving closer and sitting beside you on the vanity couch as you put them on carefully,"it's so beautiful, it even goes with your nails!" you laugh at the enthusiasm in his voice, everytime you wear heels he just babbles so many compliments.
â â PARK JONG-SEONG. ë°ìą ì± jay is relatively composed even though in his mind all he can think about is how beautiful you look in those blue heels he just bought for you the other day. for him it looks even prettier because he got them for you, he choose it for you.
"aren't these the ones i got you from milan?" jay walks over to the full mirror in your closet as you admire how the baby blue wedges look on you, his hands circling around your waist and chin resting at the crook of your neck. "i knew you'd look so so pretty in them," you nod giggling when he press a fluttering kiss to your exposed shoulder before admiring you in the mirror.
â â SIM JAE-YUN. ìŹìŹì€ you best believe he's the one putting them on for you. eyes sparkling the way they compliment your dress, oh also he putting the dress on you too. he just wants to be the one to doll you up his pretty little girl who just needs to sit and look pretty.
"let me choose!" jake rushes past you into the closet, quickly sliding open the doors and going through the bunch of dresses and heels you own. when he finds the dress he wants, he helps you put it on through every step. as for the heels he goes down on his knees, guides you feet in them and ties the pretty white lace around your ankle,"like a real doll, my doll, so pretty,"
â â PARK SUNG-HOON. ìŽíŹìč he literally has hearts in his eyes as he watches you. always walks behind you cause he lovess the way your hips sway from side to side when you walk in your heels. and the way you look so confident he's down bad for it.
"angel, you're so beautiful. how do you manage to be so beautiful all the time?" sunghoon rambles walking just a step behind and pausing a second too long at the doors of the elevator as you get on first. at the party he's literally gatekeeping you from others,"can't believe you're all mine," sneaking little neck kisses and jaw kisses here and there to show you off at the same time.
â â KIM SUN-WOO. êčì ì° he's such a hype man for you, always encouraging you to put on your pretty heels for him. when you get tired he'll always offer to piggyback you or carry you princess style. also loves holding you close by your lower back, such an opportunity for him.
"my baby is always a beauty," sunoo gushes having his hand around your lower back as you walk through the party you're at. gushing and asking everyone you two talk to "isn't my girl so pretty?" and how lucky he is to have you. "we'll be leaving, my baby is tired," when he notices your discomfort, bending down and signalling you to get on him,"come on, your prince will bring you home,"
â â YANG JUNG-WON. ìì ì you can see it all in his face, the way he's at a loss for words, the way he moves around you everything. but he also worries if you might twist your ankle or trip so always holds your hands and leads anywhere and everywhere you go.
"here, hold on to me love," jungwon offers his arm when you reach a pair of steps that are too steep. and immediately after intertwining his fingers with you to guide you safe as he walks just a step ahead supporting you. "you look so pretty in heels but you know i dont wan' you hurt," he says pressing a kiss to your forehead and then after to your lips, tightening his grip.
â â NISHIMURA RI-KI. è„żæć if he's not saying anything just know he loves it. and if he starts complaining that he'll not carry you back if you get tired just know he'll take off your heels for you and make you wear his shoes while he holds onto them and walks back bare foot.
"there i saved you princess," riki grins slyly, holding tight onto your waist after you accidentally trip on open air and grass. his hand stays there for a moment as he helps you stand straight, tucking a strand of hair that fell on your eyes. he immediately scoops you up and places you on a nearby bench. then taking off his shoes and your heels,"put them on pls, hm?"

TAGLIST ( open. ) @kangseulgithegreat @s00buwu @luvyev @pockyyasii
"Love me, until I love myself"
We met when the weather was warm,
And we held each other under the bright summer day.
You reached for my hand,
And held it safely within yours.
Now, it's November,
And the weather's cold.
And I don't know you anymore.
Gonna start posting poetry or whatever on here because why not

Jesus, are these "engenes" ok? Like no way you asked him that my god đ
Help I was on X/Twitter and I came across a vid of the fansign in Macau where a fan told jungwon "can you call me mommy" đ€§đ€§
