best friend!jaehyun loves laughing at your stupid jokes, letting you steal his hoodies every time you go out during winter, and patting your back when you cry. he loves getting ice cream with you during the winter, the cold air blowing on the tips of both of your red noses as you walk side by side, glued to each other for warmth but still taking greedy bites of ice cream. he loves having you come over so that you can paint together in his back porch - he usually paints you while you paint his dog, a beautiful golden retriever (he swears you’re only friends with him for his dog). he loves picking you up in the morning with his rusty old hyundai and being the first one to see you awake in the morning besides your family. he loves listening to you rant about random snippets of topics you’ve suddenly developed an insuppressible passion for, and loves listening to you absentmindedly hum the song that’s been stuck in your head for hours. he loves having you lean your head on his shoulder as you doze off after a difficult day, and loves leaning on your head to take a nap himself, as well. 

but above all, jaehyun loves you.

jaehyun would love to kiss your tears away when you cry. he would love to taste your ice cream from your lips and nuzzle your frozen noses together. he would love to paint hearts next to your face on his canvas - he would love to paint so many hearts that the background would barely be visible to you. he would love to give you morning kisses as you step into his car in the morning. he would love to hear you say you love him; he would love to tell you that every One Direction song he hears at your usual café - as cheesy as they are - keep reminding him of you. every time you lean your head on his shoulder, jaehyun realizes that he would love to entwine his fingers with yours and tell you he loves you and kiss you good night and everything in between - but he knows he’s just your best friend.

long distance bf!ten has never been the type to celebrate his birthday, but when you surprise him at his front door at almost a quarter to nine, his eyes brighten up like someone who had been surprised with the best birthday party of his life.

he laughs as he lifts you up in uncontainable joy, and you squeal at the sudden elevation, laughing with him as you wrap your arms around his neck. ten looks even more handsome in the moonlight, his eyes curving like two stunning crescent moons and his pearly white smile absolutely kissable. so you kiss him - a short peck to his lips as an attempt to encapsulate all the love you wanted to shower him with. he’s pleasantly surprised again - especially as he hasn’t seen you in person for so long - and giggles as he carries you inside for a longer kiss and a midnight snack.

you wish the night would last forever. you wish that you didn’t have to go back home early in the morning for work; you wish that you could go on dates with ten more than a few times a year; you wish that the love of your life didn’t live six hours away from you.

you wish you could stay wrapped in ten’s arms forever, talking on the sofa of his living room, an island of laughter and warmth in the silent city enveloped by darkness, staring into his eyes and feeling like the only two people in the world.

but you can’t, so you press another kiss to ten’s lovable lips as you whisper happy birthday.

husband!jaehyun listens intently as you explain why you don’t want children. it’s a conversation you knew had to happen sooner or later, but it still stings to see something in jaehyun’s eyes flicker out. you apologize, feeling slightly guilty. jaehyun shakes his head and tells you you shouldn’t be sorry; it’s your body and he supports whatever you choose to do with it. he kisses your forehead with a smile that carves dimples into his cheeks.

you were wrong when you thought you couldn’t love him any more than you already did.

[9:14 AM]

church boy!mark entwines his fingers with yours as you hold hands in prayer, silently praying you won’t feel his heart thumping through his fingers.

[1:28am]

assassin!jaehyun presses his hand to your rifle, stepping between you and your target. you’d known he would try to stop you when he found out your assigned target was his civilian brother - but you didn’t think the pleading look in your partner’s eyes would hurt as much.

“move, jaehyun,” you tell him sternly, your voice cracking ever so slightly as you speak his name.

“you can’t do this,” he says, completely covering your line of fire by pressing his chest to the tip of your rifle. his eyes beg with you as you push him with the weapon. “(y/n), just for old time’s sake, please.”

you had previously knocked the target out for a quick death due to your guilt when jaehyun stepped in. your eyes flickered to his trembling hands that had set his brother more comfortably on the floor while you were frozen in shock from his sudden appearance.

“you know i have to, jae,” you shove him with the tip of your rifle again. “we both know what happens to my family if i don’t. move, or i’ll shoot.” it’s a blatant lie, and your voice shakes as you tell it.

jaehyun’s eyes harden. “no.”

you tear up at the prospect of having to fight and possibly kill your best friend, partner, and long-time love. “jaehyun, please.” it was you begging now. “i don’t want to hurt you, but i will.” if you shot through jaehyun’s heart, he would surely die - especially since you were firing from so close.

“he’s my only family, (y/n),” jaehyun says, taking a step closer as your rifle presses into his chest. he takes a deep breath. “you can shoot me. tell them i stopped you and he got away. it’ll be convincing if i die.”

“i can’t do that,” you breathe, tears in your eyes. it was so unlike you to be emotional during a mission, but it was different when jaehyun was involved.

“please,” jaehyun says. his eyes have that flame of determination that you glimpse whenever he finishes off a target - except this time, the target is himself. “please. for me. let dohyun escape, maybe hide him.”

this won’t end the way either of you want it to, and you know it.

you throw your rifle to the floor. “fight me,” you tell him.

jaehyun is only the slightest bit surprised. he’s probably anticipated this, observing your thought process as your partner for several years.

the both of you kick, swing, and punch each other with impossible agility, jaehyun careful to block you from his brother every time you get too close. you land multiple punches on his jawbone as he kicks you in the stomach.

but you can feel that neither jaehyun nor you are fighting with full power.

“i won’t hold back anymore,” you say, slightly out of breath.

“neither will i,” jaehyun smiles slightly, and slides under you as you whip around, anticipating a sudden attack.

you hadn’t thought he would grab your rifle and shoot his own heart.

“jaehyun!” you scream, and rush to his side as he coughs out blood. your fingers tremble as you press the wound in futile hopes that it would magically seal.

he tries to lean on the wall, but to avail - he slides back down in pain, a smear of blood left on the wall.

you cup his face in your bloody hands, lip trembling as you speak. “i hate you so much.”

he looks like he would laugh if it wasn’t too painful. “is that all you have to say?”

you let out a deep sigh while looking into his eyes. they look happier than you’d ever seen them after a flame. “i have too much to say.”

“i do, too,” jaehyun breathes, and coughs out some more blood as you wipe it from his mouth with worried eyes. both of you know his wound is too severe - you’ve both taken several medical classes and witnessed several deaths and know when a wound is absolutely fatal. he smiles, his dimples bloody. “you know, i love you.”

your eyes widen.

“this probably isn’t the best place,” jaehyun jokes, then winces as he forces a laugh back down his throat, “or time. but i don’t think i could die without telling you. you know? i don’t want a respons-”

“i love you too,” you blurt, and jaehyun’s eyes widen in surprise. you press your forehead against his. “i just... wish we had more time.”

jaehyun wonders if it would be disgusting to kiss you when he’d just coughed out blood, but you beat him to it, the taste of death lingering between breaths.

his eyes flutter closed as he presses one last kiss to your lips, murmurs a last plea to help his brother, and whispers a last breath proclaiming “i love you.”
