How was your day everyone?

We've missed you too

It feels like time moves so slowly

In the bus, going

Under the blanket, going

Remember "going" is to you, we're going going

Kim Seungmin x Reader: You'll be okay

Summary: Being with Seungmin was probably the best thing in your life. But, he's been spotted quite a few times now, and JYP has finally called you to "talk". What do you decide?

A/n: I love this guy!

W/c: 2.4k

_____________________________________

"Jisung! You have to promise me you won't tell him" you told Jisung who had tears in his eyes almost mirroring yours. "But- Seungmin, he-" He tried to speak but couldn't complete. "He'll be fine Jisung, he needs it, I need you to keep him at the dorm tonight" you shifted you gaze to the other who has been standing beside Jisung all this long, silent and his expressions like a stone. "Please Lee Know, do anything to keep him at the dorm and I'll clear out by tomorrow morning. I can't see him, or I won't be able to do this" you said. "Where will you go?” he asked in a soft voice, "I won't tell you that" you said smiling through your tears "I'll have to do this, I'll miss you guys. Don't tell anyone" you said. "What will you tell him?" Lee Know asked again, you could see the sadness in his eyes, hear it in his voice. "I'll figure it out" you said, "Bye" you said and rushed out, you can't bear to cry anymore, not in public at least. Lee Know and Jisung watched you leave. Jisung tried to run to the practice room but Lee Know stopped him. "Don't. You heard what she said, right? We can't afford face the consequences, we can't tell Seungmin"

"Are you sure you'll do this?" Your best friend Ema asked as she rushed around the apartment gathering the stuff you must need. "Yes Ema I'm sure, I can't let anything happen to him or his career. I have to do this" you tried your best not to cry. It was almost 4:00 pm the next time you were done, you two were up all night as you knew you will have to leave before it's 6pm as Han had told you that was the time they all got off today. You quickly booked a cab. "One last thing, you said and picked up a photo frame from the shelf. It was the one you took this year on your anniversary" you sighed as you and Ema started to pile your 2 suitcases into the cab and as you left you started to type out the message you had been preparing since the moment you left the JYPE building. It's around 5 pm now, he'll be done and would read it within an hour. He would probably get angry, rush home and try to call you, well, he wouldn't be able to. You just hoped he didn't feel too bad, well it's Seungmin and he's pretty immovable.

Dear Seungmin, I can't do this anymore, I'm so sorry things have turned out like this. Lately, I have been feeling strange, people and feelings have changed I guess, I think I fell out of love. So, I'm leaving, for good, I'll deactivate this number by the time you see this. I know you'll do great things in the future. All the best. This is Goodbye.

*Send*

You tapped the button and switched off your phone. "You've blocked all their numbers right?" You asked Ema who nodded looking sadky at you. "Are you okay? Y/n please stop holding back" she said and you broke down, earning side glances from the driver. "It hurts so bad Ema, I really love him and I have to do this for him" you sobbed as Ema held you, she refused to let you be alone. Hence, as you decided to move to Japan for a job she immediately decided to move with you, that was her home country anyway. "You really didn't have to come with me" you had told her, "Who said I'm going with you? I'm leaving Korea and going back home and you just happened to be leaving during the same time" she had replied, you however knew very well she had no plans of moving back until you had decided which was just 24 hours ago.

_____________________________________

"Seungmin are you going back to the apartment or the dorm?" Felix asked Seungmin. "Let's go back to the dorm and eat some chicken" Lee Know said grabbing his bag (he is nervous too okay). "No" Seungmin said snatching his bag back, Han had hoped, he hoped Seungmin would open his phone, not that it would make things better but well. "If I stay out like this my girlfriend will forget my face" he said laughing and brought out his phone. 'Oh fuck' Han thought, and he watched the day light get drained off him, his eyes were wide as he seemed to prabably read the message you left again. While the others were busy deciding what to have for dinner tears almost threatened to leave his eyes as he hurriedly called you. Once, twice, thrice the call isn't going through 'the number you are trying to call is unreachable, please try later'. "CHAN HYUNG! PLEASE DRIVE ME TO THE APARTMENT QUICK. YOU ALL TRY CALLING Y/N PLEASE AND EMA TOO" he said and ran as Chan rushed after him no questions asked. "Fast Hyung Fast" Seungmin said as they pulled up near the ally your and his apartment was, while the rest of the Straykids tried to reach you. Han and Lee Know were more desperate than the rest, to stop you, to ask you to 'just come back and we'll figure the rest out' but they could get through you, not even Ema whose phone was switched off. Jisung was fidgeting and Minho knew that he held his hand and shook his head a No, they can't help in anymore, it's too late.

Seungmin rushed to your floor and quickly punched in the passcode and entered and called you out "Y/N! I SWEAR IF THIS IS A JOKE IT ISN'T FUNNY!" he screamed your name and looked around. "Most of her things are gone" he said, his eyes fell on the bookself that was partially empty, along with the missing frame. "She took a frame" he said and Chan looked at his maknae with sadness filled eyes as he ruffled his hair. "She lied, there's something else going on" he said, "what do you mean? What is going on?" Chan finally asked and Seungmin showed him your last message. "But she took out picture, hyung Y/n never looks behind if she decides to leave something or well someone" he said. But what could he do? They had a comeback and he couldn't find a sign of you didn't even use your social media profiles anymore. Where will he find you?

_____________________________________

"Seungminie? Would you go to the dorm today? It's late" Lee Know asked the younger boy in a soft voice. "No" he answered in a small voice as he got his things. "Seungmin, it's been 2 months, why don't you just come back to the dorm. With us, you can't bring back the one who just left. If they-" Changbin was interrupted by Lee Know even before Seungmin tried to speak up. "Let him do it if that gives him comfort! We are nobody to judge here" Lee Know glared at Changbin, who scratched his head as Bangchan looked at Lee Know quizzically. Seungmin left the building to go back to the apartment he used to share with you. He'd get dinner from the nearby soup shop. He never skipped meals as he knew how much you used to hate when he did that. He always came home because what if you decided to come back. He feels so cold some nights without your body clung to him so he takes your blanket too. He won't lie, did cry a few nights too, and to Chan that evening. It's just that he misses you and he couldn't imagine living like this without you.

_____________________________________

"Y/n let's go out, you can't just go home to work and back home for all your life" Ema said. "Watch me" you said, not even looking up from the drama you were watching. "Y/n you haven't been to one place outside work its been 2 months" Ema said. "It hurts, that I'm so far away and I can't even use my phone without seeing him" you said "even the drama has his ost" you said and finally broke down and Ema hugged you. "Why don't you stop watching this?" She asked and you shook your head. "This is the least I can keep in touch with him, I can't bear to look at him. What I did was terrible but I had to. I couldn't let JYP take actions, I can't let people tarnish him or the group. This is for the better" you said.

It was difficult to ignore the existence of someone like Seungmin. But everytime you looked at his videos or pictures you felt an ache in your heart. You knew you hurt him and that thought alone killed you. Along with the additional fact that you can't have him in your life and you yourself put the last pin to the coffin.

_____________________________________

1 more month passed (3 months since the break)

"Do I have to go?" Seungmin asked and the staff nodded, this appearance was necessary for the group and he had to be there so he obliged. He looked into the mirror, fixing his smile, he has to do this for the stays.

_____________________________________

"No, come on. Lets go" Ema pulled you by your arm, she will make you leave your house today, take a stroll through a park then get drinks and dinner. You really felt bad for her, she's been beside you all these days as you wallowed in self-pity. She deserved to go out and if you have to do the same then so be it.

You felt the heat of the sun on your skin after ages. You had forgotten how beautiful Japan actually is. You both walked through the park when you noticed a lot of a cluster of people in one specific area. You didn't think much of it until you saw two very familiar figures staring at you in awe.

"Fuck" you muttered as Lee Know and Han came running to you. "You were here in Hokkaido?" Lee Know asked as he tightened the mask and cap. "What are you guys doing here?" You asked. "We're here for some schedule but it's not started yet so we're currently under cover" Han explained. "We'll leave, don't let anybody know" you said and were about to leave when you heard a voice say "know what" he said and you looked at him. "Chan?" You said in disbelief. "I thought I saw you, so what's going on?" he said. "Either you tell me or I'm calling Seungmin" he threatened and you shook your head and looked at Ema for help, but she was speechless. So you had to explain everything to him. "Pd nim told you all this? Seungmin will receive hate if the relationship gets leaked and you should leave? You couldn't come to me? I am responsible for Straykids and their people" he said almost hurt "and you two let her be stupid?! Why didn't you drag her to the practice studio?" He asked, Oh god, Chan was angry. "How could he even pressure you, I-" Chan was furious but you stopped him. "Chan no. It's fine, everything will be okay soon enough. Seungmin might see us. Ema?" You called "yes?" She spoke hesitantly "ye-yeah lets go" she added. You speed walked towards the exit and as you were leaving, you stood stunned, right there in front you stood Kim Seungmin, eyes wide open in shock. "Y/n" you name left his lips. He took a step towards you and "Fuck" you cursed under your breath and did the first thing that came to your mind. Yes, you ran at full speed back into the park, "Y/n?!" Ema called out at your stupidity, but you were too deep in your mind to listen to her. And Seungmin ran after you, still calling your name. People were watching the scene unfold, at least he was wearing a mask. "Y/n, stop talking to me!" He said, "No!" You called back, he picked up his pace and in no time caught you by the waist and pinned you against a tree. "You really had to chase me this hard" you said as you tried to catch your breath". "You really had to run away this hard?" He asked inreturn. "I- '' before you could complete, you felt two lips against yours. It's like your body remembers his touch and the way you react is engraved in your body. Your lips moved against his on their own. You pushed him and he pulled his mask back up. "Why are you doing this? Why are you lying to me!" He asked, that was when you noticed his eyes and the tears in them, threatening to fall. He cried? "Seungmin I-" you hesitated and suddenly you saw Ema come running and she started telling everything.

"How dare that geyser. Why didn't you come to me? Did you think you can just leave like that! Y/n! You thought you could get rid of me that easily?" He gladed at you "I will always find you" he said as he grabbed your arm and pulled you into himself, he initiated a hug. That was enough for you to break down "should I feel fluffy or creepted out" you said sobbing.

A very out of breath Straykids arrived all clapping. You looked around and pulled away and said "I'm sorry guys. I'm specially sorry to Han and Lee Know" you said as they explained that they knew and also told you the same thing they had said that day "it's wasn't your fault"

"Y/n, protecting you and our relationship is a part of my contract with JYP" Seungmin said. "I confirmed, pd nim had to pay off some reporter who got pictures of you two. But that is a part of his contract. And we stand together in this decision. You should have talked to us" Chan said, shaking his head as Seungmin pulled you into him "It's okay, you did what you thought was best. Please just don't take on everything on yourself." He said and placed his palms on your cheeks and said looking into your eyes "Your it for me. I won't let you go" as he kissed you sweetly, pouring all those words he couldn't say, into it.

"I will fix this, just trust me" he said atter parting and you nodded.

back to masterlist

Unlike his best friend, Joshua has never been a hopeless romantic, or even a romantic in general. He just can’t fathom how you give your entire heart to someone after such a short time of knowing them. After all, he guards himself far too well to be able to fall in love that intensely, so he figures Seokmin is just fundamentally built different.

All of that ends up changing in the paint aisle at the local hardware store.

Joshua’s there picking up a color or two for his room in the apartment he shares with Seokmin, debating between two different shades of gray (what’s the difference between platinum and slate, anyway?) when you walk up beside him, eyeing the wall of blues eagerly. He silently watches out of the corner of his eye as you settle for the cerulean and stand on your toes trying to reach for the shelf where the bucket is.

Usually, he would have just made up his mind and walked away, minding his own business. Usually…

“Here,” he says finally, plucking the paint off of the shelf with ease and handing it to you. “You wanted this one, right?”

The smile you give him is nearly blinding. “Yes! Thank you so much,” you reply. “It’s such a pretty color, isn’t it?”

“Yeah,” he says slowly, glancing at the bucket on your arm. You’ve got several colorful shades in there, plus a tube of bright orange. “You got an art project or something?”

“Sort of? I’m painting a friend’s wall for him, just a small favor.” You gesture towards him. “What about you?”

“Me?” Joshua stares down at the drab colors he’s got with him and subconsciously deflates a little. “I’m redoing my walls, too. My roommate decided to go all out with his room and then he convinced me to do something new, so here I am, I guess.”

“What color was your room before?” you ask with a raised eyebrow.

“... Brown.”

You look mildly unimpressed with his answer, and Joshua isn’t really sure why that disappoints him a little bit.

“Maybe you should go all out, too,” you suggest. “Do something new, like he said. Put some color in there. That,” you nod towards the buckets of gray in his cart, “is going to look supremely depressing after a few months.”

Joshua struggles to defend himself. “Well, there’s nothing wrong with neutral colors, right?”

“Think about it,” is all you say with a small, knowing smile. “All you have to do is try.”

And really, none of what you’ve said is wrong, but it’s all very new to him. He can only look on quietly as you say you need to go and brush past him in a flurry of floral orange and white, leaving him and his nondescript grays in the middle of the aisle.

Joshua ends up buying those buckets anyways. He just wishes he’d remembered to ask for your name.

It is way too early for all this noise.

Granted, it’s almost noon, and Joshua doesn’t have a good reason to still be in bed at this time, but the ruckus coming from Seokmin’s room is making it really hard for him to lie there and contemplate life in peace. Then again, it’s not anything new, after nearly a decade long friendship between the two of them.

He’s made up his mind to leave his buddy alone, but the next loud clattering noise on the other side of the wall has Joshua dragging himself up and out of his room, knocking on his roommate’s door.

“Come in, Shua!”

“Seok,” he starts tiredly, stepping past the doorway, “I don’t mind you having people over at all, but I really have to ask, can you just try and k —” He freezes mid-sentence at the sight of you on his best friend’s floor, fingers covered in paint and a bit of yellow on your nose. “Huh?”

“Huh?” you echo after him in surprise, setting your paintbrush down. “Hardware store guy?”

Seokmin looks at you, then at Joshua, in utter confusion. “Do you two know each other?”

Neither of you say anything for a few moments, until you finally process what’s going on and manage to speak again.

“No, but we did run into each other while buying paint the other day,” you explain, shifting so you can sit cross-legged on the floor. Joshua notices how you end up staining your pants even further with the color on your fingertips. Despite himself, he finds it adorable. “This is the roommate who convinced you to repaint your room?”

“Yeah.” Joshua clears his throat. “And he’s also the friend you’re doing a favor for, apparently.”

“Yep! I’m his friend’s cousin, actually, if you know who Seungkwan is. I went to art school,” you gesture towards your supplies, “so I’ve been doing stuff like this here and there for a while now.”

“That’s really cool,” he replies honestly, and he sees the smile grow on your face at his small compliment. There’s just something about you that makes him want to come out of his shell. “I have to say, I did go home with three buckets of slate gray that afternoon. Sorry to disappoint.”

This draws a hearty laugh out of you. Pretty, is the first word that pops into Joshua’s head. “That’s okay,” you say. “It’s all a matter of personal preference anyway. If you like it, you like it.”

You’re so genuine with your response that it makes Joshua even more fond of you. He was so sure you would judge him for his taste, but he welcomes the appreciative feeling your words give him.

“Alright, you two, I’ve got to go pick up our lunch now,” Seokmin interrupts your conversation while reading something off of his phone. “I ordered honey chicken for you, Shua, is that okay?”

“Yeah, fine by me.”

“Cool!” Seokmin beams at the two of you, hopping off the edge of the bed. “I’ll be back in thirty-ish minutes. You guys keep yourselves busy, alright?”

Both of you call out your assent as he leaves, and you invite Joshua to come sit beside you. He’s only now aware of how he must look — freshly out of bed, wearing his most worn out clothes and hair a complete mess — but you don’t seem to care. You exchange names and tell him a bit about yourself to pass the time and he watches as you work, covering the wall with a sunset spectrum of pink and orange hues and a little bit of yellow here and there. 

It’s beautiful. You’re beautiful.

By the time Seokmin returns, you’re halfway through putting details on a rosebush, and the boys convince you to take a short break to eat with them out on the balcony. Joshua takes this opportunity to pull a chair over and sit beside you again.

“How long will you be here?” he asks.

“Overall? Probably a week or so,” you answer, “but today I’ll most likely wrap up pretty soon. I told my boss I’d be back at the studio by two o’clock, so there’s not much time left.”

Joshua nods, taking another bite of his chicken. He wishes you could stay a little longer, wishes he could watch you work your magic with those colors, but he knows you have to go.

When you’ve finally washed your hands and gotten your stuff packed up, Joshua sees you out and walks you to the end of the apartment complex in Seokmin’s absence. What can he say? He just likes to be around you and the calm cheerfulness you exude.

“See you tomorrow,” he says quietly as you slip on your shoes. 

“See you, Joshua,” you return sweetly.

God, he loves the sight of your smile, and the sound of his name on your tongue. Tomorrow really couldn’t come any sooner.

If there’s one thing Joshua’s noticed over the past several days, it’s that you’re extremely talented. You’ve finished painting two walls already, and they look amazing, all of your efforts having paid off.

He’s taken to sitting with you as you work, regardless of whether Seokmin’s there or not. He just likes keeping you company, and he dares to think that you like having him around too, going by the way you smile at him and blush furiously at his every compliment.

You have him rethinking every colorless, dull moment of his life, because you’re right. You’ve always been right. Maybe it’s time he looked on the bright side.

“Hey,” he breaks the silence while you’re covering a blue square. “Do you… are you doing anything tonight?”

“Hmm? Tonight?” You brush some hair off your forehead, smearing paint on your skin. Cute, he thinks. “Why?”

That question catches him completely off guard, and he stumbles over his own words trying to formulate a proper response. Smooth, he berates himself, now you’ve come across as a total fool—

“Joshua Hong, are you trying to ask me out?”

“What?”

It’s nearly comical how you’re both just staring at each other, and he watches you widen your eyes and shake your head after a few quiet seconds.

“Shit, sorry, I thought… maybe — it’s fine, really, I was just —”

“You’re right.”

“What?” It’s your turn to be stunned this time, and Joshua thinks you’re absolutely adorable. 

“I am. Asking you out, I mean,” he says, a bit bashful. “I was wondering if you wanted to spend time together later this evening, just the two of us.”

You reach out to place a palm over his arm and he finds that he doesn’t mind the paint stains you manage to bring literally everywhere with you. He’ll wear it proudly, if it means it was from you.

“Joshua, I really would love that,” you say sincerely, “but I promised my sister I’d meet her for dinner tonight, so I don’t think today is a good time.”

He can’t help but be a little disappointed, but he doesn’t miss that first part. How could he? It keeps ringing in his head, and for someone who’s kept his heart close for his whole life, he can’t believe how easy it is to give it away to you right now.

“That’s alright,” he says. “Later, then?”

“Later,” you agree with one of your beaming smiles. It’s all the answer he needs. Joshua’s perfectly content with this anyway, just sitting with you in Seokmin’s room (he’s never in there anymore anyways, choosing to give you some privacy) and letting you finish your work in peace. 

Fortunately for him, later comes in the form of a surprise text one afternoon right when he’s about to settle down for a quick nap.

you: hey

you: any chance i can take you up on that time together offer?

Joshua nearly falls out of his bed before he can calm himself down enough to tell you that yes, you can, any day and anytime.

That day ends with smiles on both of your faces, and an extremely enthusiastic ‘I told you so’ from Seokmin (“You’re going to have to speak to Seungkwan later, you know!”) — it may be a lot to deal with, but Joshua doesn’t really care. He’ll handle it all later. For now, the cool breeze in your hair and the soft kiss he presses to your forehead is all he has to think about. You are all that’s on his mind.

He insists on walking you home as the sun sets, deep in his thoughts, and you can read him easily. 

“What’s up?”

“Hm?”

You squeeze his hand gently. “What’s on your mind?”

“Oh, I was just thinking,” Joshua chuckles, pulling you a little closer into his side. “You were right, you know. I suppose it’s about time I get rid of that slate gray, isn’t it?”

things aren't always what it seems but when even the truth is left unheard, what can people do? one musn't lie but what if the lie is more accepted than the truth? the scariest thing in this world isn't monsters or demons. it's people with no agenda and time to waste.
