03 - in which the cool kidz are solving a case.

"i'll see you at home," says heeseung, patting your head as you exit the car. he waves goodbye for like three seconds before driving away. in your pocket, your phone buzzes. you know already that it is a text from your brother, telling you to send him a selfie as soon as you arrive in your lecture hall.

putting your headphones on, you blast music into your ears, picking a random daylist generated by spotify. you shove your hands into your pockets, trying to generate warmth. spring is here, but the coldness of winter is still lingering.

the events of yesterday, too, linger in your head like the scent of winter. it had been a rollercoaster --- a random guy, the same year as you are, had messaged two of your friends, asking about you. you surely do not know how to react, as this is the first time any guy had paid attention to you... in this kind of way. and no, you haven't told heeseung about it. being the typical overprotective brother he is, you know so well what his reaction would be.

that kai guy probably isn't even serious about me.

you laugh to yourself. heeseung, too, is probably the reason why you've been single since birth --- other than the fact that your standards are a bit too much for most guys. heeseung was stricter and even more protective than your own father.

well, your late... father.

"y/n!" even though you couldn't hear him, you could basically read his lips that is calling your name. you take your headphones off and hang them on your neck, jogging towards jake, your college-mate.

he elbows you in a greeting using his right arm; his other hand holding a cup of half-finished salted caramel latte. "ready for class?"

you roll your eyes, sighing after. "as always. i can't believe how hard study in sino is," you say, unconsciously grabbing jake's latte and taking a big sip out of it.

jake watches you with plain amusement. he grabs the cup from you before you could finish taking your share; just to annoy you --- and probably make you choke the latte through your nose. he laughs as you glare at him.

"thanks a lot, jake," you mutter. "anyway, do you have class today?" you ask, after your annoyance went away, and as jake is walking with you to your lecture hall. he's been doing so since the first time you met him, which you first thought as a kind gesture. but it was actually just because heeseung told him to.

screw your brother and the fact that he knows everyone.

jake nods to your question. "yes, i do, but it's during your second class. so if you finish sino late, you'd have to walk to your next class by yourself."

you nod; and then wave jake goodbye as he leaves you at the door of your lecture hall to walk to the library. you turn and enter, silently praying for a good day.

"Y/N!!" youngeun shouts through the phone. she sounds excited, and you could probably guess why. it's always food. no wonder you and youngeun were besties since the first time you guys met during orientation two years ago --- the two of you were foodies. "guess what?"

"what?" you reply, your shoulder holding your phone to your ear while you hurriedly pack your stuff.

"riki just texted me, and he's buying us sushi!!!" your best friend shrieks happily. your ears slightly hurt, and you flinch, but you were too happy to care. who doesn't love free food? youngeun was right to be super excited and ecstatic about it.

connecting your headphones to your phone, you could now call youngeun without causing yourself neck and shoulder pain. "wait, how did you convince him?"

"i don't know," youngeun says with a giggle. "but i think he's hit his head or something. he's being nice for once."

you laugh along. "yeah, i agree."

you walk out of your lecture hall, looking around for any signs of jake, or anyone you knew. "where are you? are you done with german diction?"

youngeun sighs through the line. "yeah, i am. it's really tough, you know, that subject? oh yeah, by the way, i'm under the tree in front of the music college building. at the bench."

you nod happily. you can already taste the sushi you're about to devour with youngeun. "i'm coming!"

"riki?" jongseong calls the younger guy, curious as to why he's standing in line at the music department's cafeteria; at the sushi section. he walks over, asking, "what are you doing here?"

riki turns around, pushing hair out of his face. "oh, hyung, hi. i'm buying the girls some sushi."

"the girls? y/n and her friends?"

riki nods, distress displayed over his face. jongseong chuckles slightly. he could already guess that y/n and her friends made riki buy them sushi in exchange for how he made them upset with his running mouth.

"isn't this your first time here?" jongseong asks, making small talk. it's been a few years since he's properly met riki face-to-face; since he's the last out of his friend group to graduate from high school. it's fascinating to jongseong, how they all managed to stay friends (and enter the same school too) after high school; keeping their promises to each other. "you're a business administration major right?"

riki nods. "yeah. this is my first year, so i'm not really familiar. but eun told me that the sushi here is the best for quite a good price."

jongseong is quite surprised. "oh? yeah, your friend's right. the sushi of the music building is as good as the music we make."

"her name is seo youngeun, if you're interested," riki says suddenly after ignoring jongseong's joke, smirking. "she's quite y/n-tempered, but a bit more cuter. she's older than me though, the same age as y/n."

y/n?

"hmm," jongseong nods. "it's fine, i'm not interested in relationships for now."

riki shrugs and turns to face the counter as his turn was quickly approaching. jongseong taps his shoulder and says goodbye, leaving the building, his assignments in mind.

"ahhh, i'm so full!" you exclaim, slouching against the bench. you and youngeun had swallowed a huge platter of sushi, each a large cup of boba tea, as well as bunggeoppang that jake gave. the australian man had saw you two giggling together in front of the music building when he happened to walk by; and decided to give you the bunggeoppang that a random group of sophomore girls gave him because they thought he was good-looking.

to hell with your "i'm not handsome at all..." shit, i know you think you're the most handsome man to exist on earth, sim jaeyun, you thought to yourself.

"i love riki," youngeun sighs, rubbing her belly. you shoot up from your seat, looking at youngeun with widened eyes.

"did you just-"

"platonically," hisses youngeun. she swats her hand. "he can wish all he wants that i actually love him or something."

you shake your head at her. totally unbelievable. there must be something between those two, definitely...

"excuse me, y/n?"

a new male voice startled both you and youngeun, making you two straighten up and turn towards the source of the voice. your eyes widen; it was kai --- huening kai, the guy that messaged chaeyoung to ask about you.

the rather creepy guy that had a picture of you snoozing your head off in the library trying to study for classical korean poetry.

though, that was the impression you had of kai when chaeyoung first informed you of him. now, you're seeing huening kai for yourself; sunoo and jungwon's advice flashing through your eyes.

give that kai guy a chance, y/n.

kai had his hair dyed blonde, but it really matches his face. he looks rather innocent and loveable, while having that mature look to himself. he scratches the back of his neck shyly, revealing what he had been holding in his hands from behind his back.

you widen your eyes slightly at the two packs of chocolate-covered strawberries in his hands. he hands them to you, and urges you to take them. how did he know that you like strawberries?

"oh, thanks," you manage after gulping nervously a few times. you take the snacks from his hands, holding them close to you.

why am i the one nervous here????

"you're kai... right?"

he nods enthusiasticly, seeming very surprised yet joyful that you knew his name. "yes, yes! that's me. i'm kai," he replies.

"aren't you the creepy guy who had y/n's picture? of her sleeping?" questions youngeun sharply, her eyes glaring daggers. "that is really weird, you know? are you a pervert or something?"

"eun!" you whisper acutely. youngeun rolls her eyes.

kai gulps. "well, my friend taehyun took that picture. he... happened to be in the same library as you, y/n, and he knew i like you so-"

his cheeks turn extremely red as he realises what he had just said. your face warms too, at the sudden confession.

"i'm sorry! really am. i'm sorry, oh god, i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable- i'm really bad at this --- with girls, i mean, i never really have done this before-"

you pat his shoulder, giving him a smile despite you being a flustered mess yourself. "it's okay. i'll ask sunoo or chae- i mean, isa, to give you my number. we'll start from there."

you left him there, standing at his spot and unable to believe that his crush had just given him the green light to get to know her.

you walk away with youngeun, who is bewildered and demanding of answers. you decide to remain quiet, telling her that you'll tell her everything later.

IVE: THE 2nd EP < 𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇 >

엔하이픈 --- 00:00 thoughts and confessions

entry notes : oneshot , random scribbles ┊ 이희승 x fem!reader ┊ !nonidol , !established relationship.

　  　  　　  ───────── ౨ৎ ─────────

a soft sigh escapes his perfect lips; his shoulders relaxing and his back slouching slightly against his gaming chair that was turned to face you. could you be even more perfect? even when your eyes are closed shut and heeseung can't drown in their dazzling beauty, he still thinks you're extremely pretty.

it's been five years, and lee heeseung still can't believe you're his girlfriend. that he's entitled to call you his. that he has an extremely beautiful, caring, and loving girlfriend that would cross even the deadliest seas for him.

he glances at the time on his laptop screen. 00:00.

i should be asleep, he thinks to himself. if y/n finds out i'm still awake, i'm dead meat.

though, heeseung now has a daily routine he will never skip on doing before bed. he doesn't care how late it is into the night, nor does he care how much pain it'll cause him the next morning from typing in his diary about you when you're strangling him in a cuddle. yes, his new daily bedtime routine is writing about you.

sighing contentedly, heeseung grabs his phone and opens his notes app; making a new entry. he types down a title and smiles to himself.

he begins typing.

y/n, i don't know when i'm going to let you read this, but i hope when you do read this, we'll be happily married with two dogs and three kids. yeah, i'm sorry for envisioning our future without your consent, but i hope you'd agree.

y/n, do you ever realise how fucking pretty you are? do you realise how much i love you? i wish money would rain down from the sky and all i'd be doing is babying you all day and night.

y/n, do you like tulips or peonies better? do you prefer a ring with a big diamond or just a simple, delicate one?

man up, lee heeseung, and figure it out. haha.

do you remember when we were in high school, when you begged me desperately to set you up with my friend, sunghoon? yeah, no hate and all, but i'm glad i ruined that relationship by telling you weird things about him.

sorry, baby, i should've gathered up the courage to tell you that i've been liking you. yeah, since back then. crazy, right?

i'm such a coward.

your coward. ;)

y/n... i wrote you a song, but i don't think you'll like it. i tried my best not to write lyrics that repeat "i wanna marry you so bad" throughout the whole song. but yeah.

here are some of the lyrics.

Love, that old-fashioned feeling But my heart is racing Why am I like this?

Why am I relying on to love? It's obvious feeling anyway I believed I would know everything I guess it as trap that I fell for even I knew it

Unknowingly, when you call my name Heartbreakingly, my heart is pounding

haha, cringey, right?

i think you're right. i should go to bed. i'm not making any sense here.

goodnight, y/n, and i hope you know i love you.
