pairing: jay x male reader + jake x male reader + niki x male reader + sunghoon x male reader genre: sad angst vibes at the start but def fluff or comfort fgjkasjf notes: there's always going to be people who will hate you and your relationship. and yes, it's normal to be affected. however, it's also normal to accept some comfort by your side. everything's just better with someone you can rely on :)
Of course, you weren’t Korean. Of course, you weren’t used to their culture. But… did they really have to throw that in your face? Did they have to make you feel left out? Or was it just a game to them?
Jay could only look at your face, which seemed so troubled and gloomy. You were going through a lot of emotions right now, and he hated seeing you like this.
He held your hand tightly, warming it with his grip before speaking softly, like a gentle thread of silk. “I’ll talk to them.”
You held onto his hand, never wanting to let go. Jay wasn’t surprised, waiting patiently for you to unclasp his arm.
“Jagi…”
He knew he shouldn’t do that. It felt embarrassing. It felt stupid. It was—
“I won’t make a scene,” Jay reassured you, placing his hand on your shoulders.
You continued to grip his hand firmly. Jay sighed and lifted your hand to his lips, kissing your knuckles as you turned to face him.
“I’m just going to tell them how hardworking you’ve been.” He flashed his signature smirk, managing to relax your nerves for just a moment.
“And how grateful I am to see you every single day.”
You both exchanged thoughtful looks, gazing into each other’s eyes. In that moment, you felt your eyes begin to dampen. He wiped away the tears slowly falling from your cheeks. “And how I’m so in love with you that no one could possibly understand.”
Jay looked at you with such a loving gaze that you couldn’t help but wonder—what kind of life had you led before to deserve this kind of blessing?
“But Jay…”
“No buts.” Jay placed his hand gently over your glossy lips, his finger softly trailing down your bottom lip. “Just let me handle it.”
You tightened your grip on his hand one last time. You didn’t want him to get involved in something that seemed so silly, yet somehow, you felt relieved.
Relieved that someone cares for you. Someone who looks out for you.
Someone who sees your worth and values you.
Jay understood the silence that filled your head. So what’s the best thing he could do right now? A kiss. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on your forehead, a soft sway in the wind as he landed his lips on the top of your head.
“I’ll be right back,” Jay said with a warm smile.
You let his hands go, knowing Jay’s intentions were pure and nothing more. You smiled back, trusting your lover to defend you.
It was comforting—to be defended and cared for, just as you would do for him.
“Babe?” Jake knocks on the door, clearly waiting for you on the other side.
“This is nothing, I swear!” you call out, sniffing as you huddle in the corner of the restroom.
Yes, the place is damp, messy, and definitely not nice… but nothing could be worse than the hurtful things you’ve heard from other people.
And Jake can’t bear not knowing what happened.
“I... I’m sorry,” Jake whispers, his sadness evident in his voice. Even the tone reveals his regret.
You turn your gaze toward him. “Oh, don’t be!” you say, trying to wipe your face and smile as if everything is fine. “C’mon now.”
“But they said bad things, right?” Jake asks, trying to express his feelings. He cares deeply about what he missed. He swears that if he hadn’t taken his time at the counter, he wouldn’t have hesitated to teach those mean people a lesson.
Yet he needs to know how you feel first. When he saw you run to the restroom, he couldn’t take his eyes off you. He was scared, worried, and he wasn’t going to let this slide.
He was determined to be your protector.
“It’s not that bad…” you try to defend yourself, almost reflexively.
Were they really NOT that bad? Is that how you would describe being labeled as someone your boyfriend doesn’t deserve? Not bad?
Words sting. Words hurt. Is it really not bad if they call you an opportunist just because you love your boyfriend?
“I don’t think you’d lock yourself in a public restroom if it wasn’t, babe,” Jake sighs, hoping you’ll open the door quickly.
“They…” you suddenly burst into tears, remembering every single hurtful word you’ve heard.
Why must it be you who feels this way? Why must it be you experiencing something that shouldn’t happen to anyone?
“I’m gonna bust the door open—”
“Wha—”
“HAH!!!” He successfully breaks through the distance between you and him. With a bright smile, he wants to comfort you right then and there.
“Ow…”
Wherever ‘there’ is…
“B-baby!” Jake jumps in surprise, his heart racing as he sees you on the floor, all tumbled up.
“It’s fine…” you say in a gasping tone. You don’t mind it at all, though Jake’s strength is definitely nothing to be messed with.
“Sorry! I thought you were in one of those!” Jake points at the two restroom divisions, thinking you were hiding somewhere.
“So cute…” you coo, making Jake blush a little. “You’re trying to save me like a hero?”
Jake rushes to your side and helps you get up. “Ugh, look at your clothes! It’s your favorite, right?”
“Pssh. Like it matters.” You deny it, clearly relying on this mechanism to cope.
Jake looks at you with serious eyes. “C’mon. Don’t do that now.”
“Huh?”
“You were hurt. Two times.” Jake raises his fingers. “In one day. It HAS to hurt.”
You look at him, realizing how much you’ve been denying your own feelings. Of course, you hate it. You hate feeling what you’ve felt today. Although Jake’s little push wasn’t much, that earlier situation scraped at your heart.
Just then, you notice your eyes are wet. They aren’t just damp; they’re soaking. You can only cry right then and there.
Jake sees your tears fall and lets you rest your head on his shoulder.
“Shh…” he says softly, trying to comfort you, patting your back as you sob against him. “I’m here.”
You continue to cry, letting it all out. Maybe on this day, or in this life, you feel like you don’t matter to anyone. You’re willing to accept that.
But you matter to Jake. Just as he matters to you.
Maybe that’s all you really need.
“Something wrong?” Ni-ki asks, his voice low and filled with concern as he leans closer to you, sensing the tension rising in your body before you even fully process the words.
His gaze, sharp and hyper-observant from years of reading rooms as a performer, flickers to the source of the whispers around you and then back to your face.
At first, he thinks you’re just your usual unfazed self, but as he studies your expression, he realizes the truth—you are affected.
This awareness shifts something in him, prompting him to step closer. His shoulder brushes against yours casually, yet it feels fiercely deliberate—a shield disguised as coincidence.
“Hey,” he murmurs again, tilting his head down so only you can hear. His hand finds yours, warm and grounding, guiding you toward a quieter corner away from prying eyes and judgmental voices.
Ni-ki isn’t one for dramatic confrontations; he prioritizes your peace over their noise, ready to remove you from the chaos that surrounds you.
Once you find a moment alone, he faces you fully. His usual playful smirk is replaced by a quiet seriousness that catches you off guard.
“You know they’re wrong,” he states simply, his tone leaving no room for debate.
You recognize this side of him—the one that surfaces during tough rehearsals, when he’s pushing himself to perfect a move. He is stubborn in his convictions.
“I... I know. It’s just—” you begin, but the words catch in your throat.
“It’s nothing but smack.” Ni-ki tries to push away that trembling fear of yours, the snake that keeps crawling up your leg, the creeping anxiety that always seems to burn you down whenever something like this happens. He weighs his words carefully, wanting to make you feel better, or at least let you know you’re not alone in times like these.
“You’re... stronger than they think. And I know what’s real.” His thumb grazes your wrist, a fleeting touch that carries the weight of his loyalty, reminding you that you’re not alone. "I just-" A sudden kiss then touches your lips, warmth bathing your own. "Wah-" Another kiss graces you again. Ni-ki smirked as he prompted to wait another moment for you to speak. "He-" One last kiss to shut you up. That will do it, Ni-ki thought.
“Hehe.” You felt suddenly lighter than before. Maybe three kisses worked their magic already. As for Ni-ki? He looked proud as one definitely would, like winning a raffle prize. Bumping his head close to yours, he lightens the air with a half-smirk.
“Next time, I’ll ‘accidentally’ spill my drink on them. My clumsy era.”
“What the..." You looked at him, a familiar glance he knew well you'd do when he teased you.
"Riki.”
“What?” Ni-ki smiles, mischief sparkling in his eyes. “Is that a game plan or what?”
You giggle, knowing how he always tries to cheer you up has been a success in the past. Even amidst the buzz of the world, just having Ni-ki right with you feels like enough. With him, you feel stronger and much better.
And Ni-ki? He loves you even more. Nothing compares to that.
The next day, he shows up at work wearing the hoodie you once teased him for borrowing, unbothered by the stares of others around you. Yes, it was pink. Yes, it was a Donald Duck comic panel hoodie and yes, it wasn't his taste at all. But with all of this, his presence is a silent rebellion against any negativity. For Ni-ki, comfort isn’t found in grand speeches; it’s in staying.
He proves, through every small choice he makes, that he will walk beside you—loudly, unapologetically—no matter who’s watching. In this moment, you feel a sense of reassurance, knowing that with Ni-ki by your side, you can face anything that comes your way.
“You good?” Sunghoon asks, noticing the bad vibe in the air before you even do. His polite smile, which he uses in public, freezes just a little as his instincts kick in to hide his irritation.
But his eyes, usually calm and peaceful, darken with a hint of protectiveness, a fierce guardian ready to shield you from the negativity surrounding you.
“Mhm.” You nod, trying to show him that it’s not a big deal, even though you know it is. You want to be strong for him, to not add to his burdens.
Without breaking his cool demeanor, he steps subtly between you and the voices, standing tall like a strong tree, unyielding against the gusts of harsh words.
“Let’s get some air,” he says lightly, as if he’s just suggesting a casual walk, but you can sense the underlying urgency in his tone.
“O-okay.” His hand gently presses against your back—a silent command to follow, not argue. You feel the warmth of his touch seep through the layers of your emotional turmoil, grounding you.
Once you both find a quiet spot, nestled away from prying eyes and judgmental whispers, he turns to you, and his icy facade melts into something softer.
“You okay?” he asks, his voice low but steady. Sunghoon isn’t one for long speeches, but his gaze locks onto yours, intense and unwavering, making you feel truly seen.
“W-What are you talking about?” You smile, doing your best to deny what you’re feeling and hide it from him. You don’t want him to worry; he has enough on his plate.
As you try to shrug it off, he raises an eyebrow—that look he gives when he knows you’re lying. It’s a look that makes your heart flutter, even in such a heavy moment.
“Hoonie—”
“They’re idiots,” he says plainly, crossing his arms. “The kind who’d fall flat on their face trying a single axel jump.”
The reference catches you off guard and makes you giggle a little. “A-axel jump? That’s a throwback.”
Sunghoon takes a good look at you as you settle, fixing the hair strands that almost cover your face. He can tell you’re trying to keep it together, but he’s seen you crumble before, and it breaks his heart to witness it again.
“It still hurts, doesn’t it?” He hesitates for a moment, showing a rare side of himself, before saying, “It hurts me too. Seeing you like this.”
You understand what Sunghoon is trying to say. People aren’t always kind about idols dating, especially when they’re the same sex. You’ve faced your share of hate and gossip, but it’s not something serious enough to ruin his reputation. It’s something very personal for him when he knows you’re being targeted.
But to him, none of that matters. As long as he can show his love for you while doing what he loves, he feels content.
“They want a reaction. Don’t give them one,” he says, firm but not cold. “We’ll show them this instead.” He flashes his bright, dimpled smile, warm and calculated, before linking his arm through yours and leading you back into the room.
You laugh again, seeing how cute your partner is. He’s trying his own way of showing how much he cares for you, and nothing can compare to his efforts.
You lean against his shoulder and tighten your grip on his strong arm, silently thanking him for everything he does.
Of course, Sunghoon smiles. Deep down, it’s all that matters to him.
That you feel happy, comfortable, and loved. With him.
“You’re better than every single one of them.” His breath feels warm as he kisses your forehead.
“And I’m never wrong about people.”
wishing you comfort in these small drabbles. from me and enha <3

pairing: childhood bestfriend!ni-ki x male reader genre: fluff, little bit of a build up of angst? i actually don't know ... words: 2.03k notes: trying something completely different and just getting these ideas out! i've always liked the 'childhood bestfriend' tropes and i think ni-ki definitely fills up the criteria. not meant to be a realistic take on ni-ki in anyway (since this is a fanfic lol) but something just loosely based on him. hope you like it!
You've been so focused on impressing your crush that you've completely overlooked Ni-ki's feelings for you. For a long time, he's harbored strong emotions, but he keeps them hidden while you excitedly talk about your crush and ask for his help getting closer to him. Ni-ki always shakes his head and tells you that his friend is not interested in you, but the truth is that every time you mention his friend, it stings a little more. He doesn't want to complicate your friendship by revealing how he truly feels.
Deep down, Ni-ki wishes you could see how much he cares for you. He's been there all along, offering support, even while dealing with his own heartache. While you focused all your attention on this new crush, they were just a new development, yet you seemed to put all your efforts into them at once. Ni-ki couldn't bear it at all.
One day, your teacher announces a group project, and you're in a group with your crush. You're thrilled, but you have no idea where his house is for the group meeting. Luckily, Ni-ki knows the area well and offers to accompany you. He can't resist helping you, even if it hurts him to see you so enamored with his friend.
"You sure you know his house?" you asked, fixing your backpack as you walked alongside your best friend.
"Ugh, it's not like I wanted to," Ni-ki sighed, trying to distance himself from the topic. Clearly, he doesn't care about the guy or the project. He only cares about you.
"But still!" you tugged his arm. "Thank you for taking the time to come with me..."
Ni-ki looked at you with his hands in his pockets. As he saw your golden smile appear, he couldn't help but be mesmerized by it. He couldn't tell whether he was living a dream or a nightmare — it was too hard to tell.
When you both arrive at your crush's house, you try to play it cool, but you can’t help but feel nervous. Your friends arrived shortly, joining you in your project as well. You’re eager to impress your crush, while Ni-ki stands silently beside you, feeling nothing but emptiness and sadness for himself.
As you start working on the project, you keep stealing glances at your crush, laughing at his jokes and trying to engage him in conversation. Ni-ki observes from the sidelines, noticing how your face lights up every time you look at his friend. Each giggle you share with your crush feels like a sharp reminder of what he can’t have, but he keeps quiet, not wanting to ruin the moment for you.
After a while, your friends suggest taking a break and playing some games to lighten the mood. You agree, thrilled to spend more time with him, while Ni-ki watches quietly, wishing he could take your place.
When one of your louder friends suggests the game of truth or dare, laughter fills the room. You sit there nervously as your friends take turns revealing secrets or completing silly dares.
Finally, when it’s your turn, you shyly choose 'dare.' Your friends, excited, dare you to kiss the person you like. You glance over at your crush, your heart racing with anticipation, while Ni-ki’s expression darkens just a bit, feeling the weight of the moment.
"I-"
"This is ridiculous," Ni-ki rose from his seat and quickly pulled you away from the group, who could only groan in dismay. Although it seems unlikely, your supposed crush had a small look of concern. But did it even matter?
"Riki..." you pleaded. "Your hand..."
But Ni-ki couldn't hear you. He didn't want anyone to see you with him at this moment, so he was determined to get you as far away from the others as possible.
"RIKI!!" you shouted. Ni-ki stopped as he saw you.
"You're... you're grip was too tight," you pointed at your arm, and he let it go immediately.
"S-sorry!" he apologized, rubbing your hand quickly. It was clear that he didn't mean to hurt you, but he felt a bit disappointed with himself anyway.
"Hehe, It's alright," you tried to smile for a bit, even though you had no idea what just happened.
You two stood there under the bright moon. It wasn't the best of days, but it was magical how the crickets sounded in the early hours of the night. You looked at Ni-ki, still confused. He couldn't speak at the moment, rethinking what he had intended to do.
"Riki-"
"Do you really like him?" he spoke in a deep voice. It wasn't the first time you heard it, but it sounded so serious now.
"I-"
"I can tell that you're trying too hard," Ni-ki looked at you with his eyes, filled with curiosity. "Too hard."
That didn't feel right, you thought. Why would Ni-ki say something like that so suddenly? Is he against the idea all of a sudden? Does he hate you for it? Does it matter who you want to like?
"Okay..." you sighed. "Can you just tell me what's happening? I thought you were supportive of me..."
Ni-ki looked at you, sincerity clear in his gaze. "I... I am!"
"But you don't feel like it!" you walked towards him.
Ni-ki could only look at you closely before you spoke again.
"Are you..." you took your time to say these words. It was the worst case, but what if it is now?
"Are you disgusted by what I'm feeling? By me?" you spoke hesitantly, knowing full well it wasn't the case.
Ni-ki shot a surprised look towards you, a shocked expression on his face. "N-no! Why would you say that!"
"Then why are you so against me having a crush on him!" you spoke loudly, not even sure if you sounded too loud at that point.
Ni-ki couldn't believe it. Of course, he could never judge you for who you wanted to love. Not in that way. It didn't matter to him what your choices were. Sure, he may be bad at expressing himself sometimes, but he always supported you no matter what.
And he liked it that way.
He liked you that way.
"Because I like you!" Ni-ki replied with his voice shaking in fear. Fear of letting you know, and the fear of possibly losing you. He couldn't handle it, saying the most outrageous thing that might drive you away from him.
"I like you," Ni-ki spoke softly. "I really do."
Ni-ki liked you? Since when?
When did this happen? How could you not see it?
Where was it when you looked for it?
Looked at him.
That way?
"Y...you..." you covered your mouth as you tried to take in his words. "No... no I-"
"I can explain-"
"How could you explain this to me!" you stepped back from him as he tried to come near, his face showing that he was really sorry.
"Are you even listening to what you're saying!"
"I- I do like you!"
Silence.
There was only silence.
Only two people, two best friends... two hearts talking to each other.
"Then ... why ... now..." Tears fell from your eyes as you said those words from your heart, out for your best friend to listen closely.
Why now? Why would your best friend like you when you've given up entirely on that idea?
At daydreaming a future of you and him?
At loving the one person who cared for you like nobody else could?
You punched and punched his chest as you sank to the soft ground. Ni-ki tried to comfort you by wrapping his arms around you. You could only cry even more as you breathed in his familiar scent. There was nothing else that you could say.
You were supposed to forget these feelings, but why do they need to come back like this? Now that you've tried so hard to keep them away from hurting you? Why?
"I... I'm sorry." Ni-ki tried to speak as his sniffling nearly choked him. "I'm sorry I couldn't be brave enough to even pursue you..."
You continued to cry, remembering how much you liked him. How much you appreciated everything he did. How you wanted to understand him so you could build a lasting relationship with this kind guy who got you language guides and taught you manners you wouldn't know otherwise.
You fell for him, and you wanted to fall even deeper, but you never had a clue he liked you back.
"You're so ... stupid!" you continued to hit his chest. It wasn't that hard, but it was enough to make Ni-ki wince. He didn't like it when you hurt. Whether it was a scratch, a burn, or a bully, he didn't want you to suffer at all. He wanted to hold you in his arms as much as he could.
"I am..." Ni-ki tried to speak, trying to hide his own sobbing. "I just... can't decide whether I should let you be with him... or stay with me."
You then began to feel terrible, listening to him being a sniffling mess. You looked back towards his barren features, immediately wiping his tears away.
"So ... you just needed a little push?"
Ni-ki nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I... I didn't know how to deal with these feelings." He spoke to you. "And even if I did, I couldn't find the courage. Not with you."
You sighed, sitting up as you cleaned your face. "C'mon, Riki. I told you; you've got the charm ... the confidence ... the looks ... the spirit."
Ni-ki looked at you, laughing softly.
"What?" You spoke as you took a good look at him.
"Are you seriously prepping me when I already confessed?"
"I mean, it's not too late to not do that, you know?"
You two shared a quiet moment, mere seconds, as you took your time to process it all.
"So you like me?" Ni-ki broke the silence with one simple question.
"Of course." You nodded. "How couldn't I? You were the perfect package."
"I couldn't even handle my own feelings." Ni-ki wiped his tears as he chuckled lightly. "Are you sure you're ready to take a chance on me?"
"Hey." You looked at him. "Do you really want me or not?"
"Psh. Of course I do."
"Then don't be scared and keep your word." You smiled at him, your eyes still watery. "Love me all you want. And let me love you all I want."
Ni-ki laughed brightly, holding your hands and putting them against his own.
"Okay." He agreed. "I'll love you for all time."
"All time?" You looked at him confused. "You mean forever?"
Ni-ki shook his head. "No. I meant for all time. Past, future, present, and every other moment."
As you raised your hands to his cheeks, he gently cupped them and rubbed his own palm upon yours. "All the moments that time can give me to love you ... that's what I want."
Now, it was your turn to smile back at him.
"You're crazy." You looked at him as you fixed his stray hair. "Then ... let me do that too."
Ni-ki's eyes went wide as you pulled him into a sweet kiss. Having it felt like a soft kind of candy, and not just because of the texture. His mouth tasted so much like a sweet dream, one you'll fall into easily and never want to leave.
"We're both fools, aren't we?" Ni-ki spoke as he broke away from your kiss.
"Very much so." You giggled. "A couple of fools."
"Definitely." Ni-ki said as he rested his head on your shoulder. "A couple."
"A couple it is." Niki rest his head on your shoulders, and exposed his own nape in front of you. Without any care in the world, you pressed your damp lips onto his soft skin, relishing the beauty of this occasion.

notes: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EVERYONE!! i wrote some feel good stories for my three boyos right here, and hopefully they can fill your heart this lovely dayyy~
As you leaned back in your chair, you wondered how much longer this work could drag on. One hour? Two? Four? The thought alone made you feel drained.
Things like this wear you out the most. Having an online meeting is one thing, but dealing with foreign guests and board members—on top of a hectic schedule and the constant pressure—was something else entirely.
Suddenly, you felt a blistering, frozen kiss against your cheek.
"Ah!" You jolted, turning slowly to see your handsome lover holding out a drink for you. You wiped the sweat from your forehead as he brought the cup close.
"Bored?" he asked, his voice deep and smooth.
"You know it," you replied, rolling your eyes.
Ni-ki walked closer and set a drink down on your desk, landing it safely atop a small wooden coaster.
"Ohh! Matcha!" you cheered, spotting the familiar green hue. Of course, he ordered your favorite.
Ni-ki smiled at you, then playfully pinched your cheek. "Don’t get sleepy. It’s important, right?" he teased. And it WAS important.
"Ugh... they’re just talking." You couldn’t help but roll your eyes again.
"And?" Ni-ki raised an eyebrow, noticing how deflated you looked in your chair. "You gotta work. Unless you want me to drink that milk tea of yours?"
"Waa, no!" you exclaimed, your eyes wide.
Ni-ki laughed, doubling over as soft cackles escaped him.
"Leave it!" you pleaded.
"Alright, alright, I’ll let it be." Ni-ki turned to head back to the living room. "I’ll just be here."
"No work?" you asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No work," Ni-ki replied casually, strolling out. "So you’ve got me for the day."
You barely noticed his last words as the volume of your meeting suddenly surged in your ear.
"Thank you for the drink, hon!" you called out, trying to shout over the noise.
Ni-ki smiled as he settled onto the couch, making himself comfortable while he waited for you to finish.
Sure, it was Valentine’s Day, but neither you nor Ni-ki needed a special occasion to express your love. Through ups and downs, you always found ways to mend mistakes and be there for each other. Ni-ki cherished your resilience and determination as you pursued your dreams while building a life together. He felt a sense of fulfillment, knowing he had a meaningful purpose beyond just being someone’s idol.
He was yours. And you were his. He was fulfilled.
"Oh lordie," you muttered under your breath, stifling a yawn. You slowly swiveled your chair and glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Oh my god!" you gasped. "I’ve been here for that long?!"
Rushing to get out of your office, you quickly slipped on your inside slippers and sprinted to the door.
As you opened it, a gentle breeze greeted you, and you saw the television screen playing what seemed to be a Nat Geo documentary.
"Pfft…" you snickered. "Of course he’s watching ducks."
You walked slowly into the living room, taking in the comfortable couch and the equally comfortable man sprawled out on his side.
"Why is he hugging the couch again?" you mumbled, remembering how chaotic Ni-ki could be when he slept.
As you approached, you gently lifted one of his hanging legs to place it down on the couch again.
He let out a deep groan and turned onto his back, still lost in slumber.
You couldn’t help but admire his features; his lips looked irresistibly seductive at that moment.
With three cautious steps, you knelt beside him and laid your legs on the floor, inching closer to his face. Your fingers brushed against his soft cheeks.
"And you say you’re not cute anymore," you grinned, swiping a bit of hair from his beautiful face.
"Aren’t you something..." you pondered aloud.
"I want something," Ni-ki mumbled, eyes still shut, startling you for a moment.
"Goodn—What do you want?" you teased, holding his sleepy hand in yours.
"Isn’t it obvious?" he pouted, his lips teasingly close to a smile. With his eyes closed, it seemed he was pretending to be asleep, maybe just waiting for a kiss.
You rolled your eyes, pretending to be annoyed, but deep down, you loved this playful side of him.
Then, you leaned in and placed a perfect kiss on his lips, the warmth so fine and sprinkled with just the right amount of love. The moment felt surreal; who in their right mind would waste such a beautiful experience?
None. No one at all. Certainly not you.
"Mmh," Ni-ki hummed, "you taste so good."
You laughed, resting your hand against his chest as you felt yourself getting lost in the moment.
"You!" you sniffed playfully, inhaling a fresh breath of air. "You’re so annoying!"
Ni-ki smiled at you, his eyes slowly opening.
"I know," he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "And I know you can’t say anything else that works as well as that."
He cupped your face gently. "Thank you, hon."
"Mhm."
"For being here with me. Every day. Every second. Every passing moment."
You smiled back. "Heh… that’s so not like you to talk like that."
"So just listen to me," Ni-ki said softly. You nodded, unable to resist his earnest gaze.
"I will forever thank you," he continued, his heart full of gratitude. "Even if it’s Valentine’s Day or not."
You shot him a surprised look. "It was?!"
"Pff," Ni-ki snickered.
"Hey! Hon!"
"It was," he confirmed. "But it doesn’t matter; I had a good rest."
"But—" you gasped, realizing a thought. "Did you take the day off for us to go out?!"
Ni-ki burst into laughter, propping himself up from where he was lying. "I knew you’d say that! C'mon, hon!"
You looked at him with tears of joy in your eyes. "But!"
"There’s always tomorrow, and the day after that, and every hour we have together in this life," Ni-ki assured you, his hand gently cupping your chin.
"We’re always going to celebrate our love, one way or another."
"Hehehe..." You giggled as the wind blew, sending a shiver under your skin.
It was only natural; you weren’t used to this much cold, but it was okay. You were used to something else.
Someone else.
"Baby!" Jake called out, walking a few paces ahead as he tried to find something on his map. "Taking your time?"
"Yup!" you replied, diligently following the trail while rubbing your hands together. It was February, but the wind still felt frigid. You had packed the warmest coat you could find, yet it seemed you were still unprepared.
What you didn’t notice was Jake, glancing back at you with a long, hopeful look. He was concerned you weren’t tired, bored, or anything else negative about this trip. After all, it was his idea to push through. He felt guilty, knowing you still weren’t quite used to such weather.
"Aish!" Jake exclaimed, hurriedly tucking his phone away in his pocket.
Suddenly, your lover knelt in front of you—but not directly in front, rather with his back facing you.
"What are you—"
"I told you, use my back!" Jake insisted, offering his back for you to ride on. It sounded slightly dirty, but you got the point.
"Ugh, no way." You declined, playfully pinching his ear to tip him off balance.
"Hey!" Jake flinched, then chased after you.
After what felt like your two-hundredth step, a tight warmth enveloped you. It felt good, but not because it was necessarily warm. It was Jake.
"Baby..." he cooed, sounding a little dejected.
"I told you..."
"And I told you back!" He pouted. "Use my back!"
You sighed, a puff of steam escaping your lips. Jake walked to your side and held your hand.
"I didn’t work so hard to get rejected after proving my strength, baby." He looked at you, confidence radiating from him. You couldn’t help but laugh.
"Ugh, is this the part where you let me touch your muscles or something to prove you’re 'built right'?"
"I would!" Jake raised his hands dramatically. "But it’s freezing… we can skip that part. What’s important is that you get on my back."
Jake insisted, turning around again to offer his back.
"You’re hopeless." You sighed with a cheerful laugh.
"I am!" Jake replied, grinning. "In love with you~"
You playfully swatted his neck as he carefully hoisted you onto his back for a piggyback ride. With every step toward the top, Jake took his time to keep you safe.
"Why is it called a piggyback?" he suddenly asked.
"You're asking me that question?" you shot back.
"What? I’m curious!" he said, genuinely invested.
"Uhh..." you stalled, trying to think.
"Come on!" Jake continued walking, keeping the conversation going. "Between us, there are at least two brain cells. And they all belong to you."
You laughed. "Jake, if humans only had that much, I don’t think they’d be alive."
Jake gasped in mock horror. "Just answer me, babe! Why is it called piggyback?"
You sighed, burying your face in his nape.
"Etymology says that the word may have been corrupted or altered through time… they say the original word must’ve been 'pickaback,' then before that 'pickapack,' then 'pickpack.'" You groaned, regretting how useless that knowledge felt.
"See?" Jake cheered. "You’re the smartest, most handsome, and most adorable boyfriend one could love. I’m just so proud."
It always warmed your heart when Jake spoke like that. He was genuine, and you knew he meant every word.
"Were you thinking it was some kind of person carrying a pig?" you asked, holding onto his shoulder tightly.
"N-no...?" Jake glanced away, clearly having thought that.
You sighed. "No, Jake, you can’t tame a pig with carrots. And you can’t bait them with a carrot on a stick either."
"C’mon, that’s childish!" Jake defended himself. He had a reputation to uphold.
"Yet you still think Minecraft's based on real life," you snickered. "Fine, fine."
Jake laughed, knowing he might have looked a tad silly. But real or not, he knew his feelings for you were genuine.
You were real, and so was he. This relationship? It was real. This love? It was real.
"Hah!" Jake paused in his tracks after a few more steps, seemingly out of breath.
Once you both checked around to see if you were at the right spot, you quickly jumped off his back.
"You’re not bad," you jested, causing Jake to give you an incredulous look.
"Not bad?" he feigned offense, raising his voice playfully.
"Fineeee." You walked toward him and gave him a sweet kiss. "Five stars. Would ride again."
Jake blushed, pouting his bottom lip out with raised eyebrows.
"Oh come on!" You swatted his side as he reacted dramatically—predictably, yet still endearingly.
As you continued walking to where Jake had led you, he suddenly pointed excitedly.
"Baby, look!" Jake exclaimed, gesturing toward a field. "Here!"
Curious, you followed his finger and soon saw what he was excited about.
"AAAAAAAA!!" You swore you could’ve pushed Jake over the fence as you screamed in delight.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Jake cheered, obviously thrilled to see you so happy.
"LLAMAS!!" you shouted confidently, pointing toward the large herd gathering nearby.
"Close enough!" Jake chuckled, planting a kiss on your head. It was actually a herd of alpacas.
Walking slowly and finding your place in line, you couldn’t help but gaze at the adorable herd. And Jake? Well, he couldn’t help but gaze at you. You and only you.
"Happy Valentine’s," he whispered softly by your ear.
You rested your head against his padded chest, sneaking your hands inside his coat to feel that authentic Jake warmth.
"Thank you, my Valentine," you replied, your tone making Jake’s heart swell.
"Mhm…" he hummed back, caressing your side and hugging you like a koala. "Gonna hug you like this forever. Deal?"
"Never let go then." You looked up at him with a smile that could melt the thickest layers of ice.
Jake nodded. There were no other words but "Never." Or four. "Letting," "You," and "Go."
Or five. "Ever."
He showered you with kisses right then and there, each one tickling your cold skin. You flinched and cackled like a wacky, flailing inflatable tube man out of air. Hopefully, no one batted an eye at how loud you two were.
"Isn't this the set I gave you for your birthday?" Jay asked as he stumbled through your shared kitchen cabinets, clearly searching for something—a pot or two.
"Oh my god, yeah!" You shot a quick glance in his direction, setting down the groceries you had just brought from your car.
It had been a wild day, but maybe not that wild. You' and Jay had only gone to the grocery store for several essentials and missing ingredients, but there were huge lines everywhere. You could only guess everyone had the same idea as you and Jay 0 a nice Valentine's dinner at home.
"Oh!" Jay moved to the side as you quickly darted past him to grab the pots yourself. "What's the rush?"
"Ugh..." You sighed, taking a moment to catch your breath. "I just feel... awful."
"Huh?" Jay drew closer to you.
"I mean," you looked away, wiping the sweat from your brow, "you gave me this special set, and I STILL haven't used it..."
Jay looked at you, his expression softening as he understood.
"Jagi."
"Hmm?"
"Are you embarrassed because I brought you something like this?"
"I— No!" You looked away, flustered. "Listen, it's a good set! I'm just—"
Jay placed both his hands on your shoulders, reassuring you with a warm smile. "Jagi, don't feel bad." He moved a bit closer. "You must be keeping them for a reason, right?"
"Yeah." You looked away, fidgeting with your fingers. "I didn't want to touch them because they're a gift from you... you know me..."
Jay laughed lightly, looking at you once more. "Don't worry. We can have all the pots and pans in the world. If you treasure these pieces that much, we can—"
"We can!" You spoke loudly, catching your lover off guard.
"I—I mean... we can use it!" You smiled back at him. "It's time."
Jay couldn't help but beam with joy, planting a gentle kiss on your forehead as a 'thank you' before grabbing the pots himself.
"H-hey!" You tried to stand up as you took in that gentle moment for a bit. "I told you, jagi. I'm helping!"
He nodded as he prepared the pots and pans, wiping them down with a kitchen towel nearby. "Mhm."
"Mhm? I can?"
"You can." He pointed at the grocery bags behind him. "Have a start by taking out and preparing the ingredients."
Snapping back to reality, you immediately got to work. You knew how much Jay loved cooking, so you had to do your best, too.
In Jay's eyes, you seemed excited and engaged. It had been a while since you two had done a homemade dinner date. Usually, it was a quick pot of ramyeon or takeout from various restaurants.
But today was special—he was cooking with you.
Jay smiled wide as he watched you passionately prepare the food you brought home.
He took a moment to walk over to you, admiring how your hands expertly grazed the vegetables and meat with a sharp knife and precision.
"You do that so well," Jay said softly near your ear, making a blush creep onto your cheeks.
"Uh... I try..." You stammered, feeling shy under his gaze.
"You're an expert," he assured you, holding your hands together and guiding you as you cut the leeks. "But you always seem to be distracted every once in a while."
You knew what he was doing at that moment. All it took was Jay's fatal lower register and his breath close to you, his signature smirk playing on his lips.
"You're despicable..." You muttered, unable to hide your smile.
"Sure." Jay continued to gaze at you, admiring how your handsome face contrasted with his own. "And you're so undeniably delectable in every angle I see you." He traced your jaw with his own finger, slowly coming down towards your chest.
Without thinking, you turned around and kissed him right there. You set the knife aside, and Jay's fingers slipped inside your sleeves, pulling you closer.
With a gentle lift, you continued to kiss him, your back pressed against the kitchen column as all of his weight fall upon you. Jay's sorted collection of fine liquor on the column shook slightly with the movement.
"Be careful..." Jay whispered, but you couldn’t help yourself, kissing him again, indulging in the sweetness of his lips and letting yourself melt onto him.
In that moment, Jay could only confirm one thing: he couldn't control himself with you right beside him. And neither can you.
And that he loves you. He really loves you. So much. Okay, maybe that’s two things.
"This is so good!" you exclaimed, savoring the dish Jay had made, relishing the flavors that danced on your tongue.
Jay chuckled lightly, sipping a full glass of cabernet sauvignon. He loved having you as his drinking buddy; it made enjoying his wine so much more worthwhile. And the aftermath of the evening? That was definitely his favorite part.
You noticed Jay’s dazed look, almost seductive yet still curious.
"We just made out for 30 minutes," you said as you took a bite of the juicy sirloin steak on your other plate, not letting the moment go to waste. Jay did pay a hefty sum for it, no matter how much you insisted against it.
"Oh?" Jay replied, his tone inquisitive. "Pray tell, why are you aware of the time we spent doing so?"
You sighed in bashful embarrassment. "You and your urges..."
"Hmm?" Jay leaned in closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "You don’t like it when I’m like this?"
"I don’t... know," you admitted, feeling the heat rise in your cheeks. "It's so unfamiliar to me that I feel like I'm cheating... o-on you... with you..." You buried your face in your hands, while your lover laughed at your 'misery.'
"Hehe." You sighed again, hearing him laugh it off.
"What?"
"You're adorable, jagi," Jay smiled earnestly. "I just wanted to be something different for Valentine's."
"I roll my eyes as my ridiculous boyfriend tries to seduce me," you muttered under your breath. "It's just—"
"I love you." Jay's hand inched towards yours, his eyes sincere.
You locked eyes with him, seeing the genuine affection and care reflected there. That was Jay.
"I love you," you replied. "But don’t be too forward again! Or atleast warn me? My heart can’t take it."
Jay burst into laughter, almost throwing his glass aside.
"Don’t laugh!"
"What?" Jay asked, adjusting his chair. "I always want you. I just seem so nonchalant about it, but today, I've crossed my own line, and I gotta admit... that was fun."
You sighed one last time. "Is this your Valentine's Day gift?"
You caught Jay off-guard yet again, who could only lay back in his chair and surrender. "You got me."
"Pfft." You laughed, clearly amused. "Thank you."
After dinner, Jay’s eyes sparkled with excitement. "How about we make dessert together? I was thinking leche flan."
You grinned, remembering how your family made it during special occasions. "That sounds perfect! I haven't made it in ages."
As you gathered the ingredients insise your drawers and so, you felt a rush of nostalgia. You come from a family that had always been so loving and family-oriented, and making leche flan was a tradition that brought everyone together. You shared stories with Jay about your parents and how they had taught you the significance growing, staying, living, and being in-love together.
"I've always admired your bond with your family..." Jay said, breaking your reverie. "It makes me cherish our time together even more."
You smiled, feeling warmth spread through your heart. "They taught me all about what they knew about love. It's not just about how one person seems attractive, or impressive ... it’s about nurturing those bonds. I have that with you."
Jay nodded, his eyes sparkling. "I feel the same way. It’s like every moment we share is part of a bigger picture."
As you began preparing the leche flan, you took turns mixing the ingredients, laughing at the splashes of sweetened condensed milk that ended up on Jay’s cheek. "Look at you! You look like a mess," you teased.
He grinned, playfully wiping his cheek with the back of his hand. "Well, I think it adds character." You then kissed the splash just right off his cheek and you swore he got beet red for a while.
You both poured the mixture into a mold, Jay holding it steady while you carefully added the caramelized sugar. "See how it blends? Gosh I'm pumped!" you exclaimed, picturing how it would taste once it was chilled.
"I can already sense this flan is going to be a masterpiece," Jay said, leaning in with a playful glint in his eyes. "Just like us—full of flavor, a bit unpredictable, but ultimately beautiful."
You couldn’t help but smile at the thought, feeling the warmth radiate between you. "Mmh... just like the flan, every moment we share makes it all worthwhile."
Once the flan was safely nestled in the fridge to chill, you turned to Jay and wrapped your arms around him, feeling the comfort of his presence. "Thank you for ... loving me."
He pulled you closer. "There’s nowhere else I’d rather be." He then pressed a tender kiss to your forehead. "Loving you, that is."
You chuckled, lightly tapping him. "We're so sappy..."
"Is that SAP-possed to be funny?" Jay shot a joke at you. All you can do is burst into tears. lounging on the floor like a loon.
You we're definitely his best audience for his stand-up comedy.
Happy Valentine's to everyone who celebrates it! If you're feeling lonely, your heart will mend in due time. Just believe and you'll see it through! ALSO might start making these unspecified series drabbles once in a while~

notes: nothing much! hope you enjoy these povs that really frame 'your' character's feelings towards ni-ki hehe
Why does it seem so unreal talking to him? Is it really worth the risk?
Your best friend burst into your bedroom, her infectious grin lighting up the space as she flopped down onto your soft bed without a hint of hesitation.
“Any scoop on the troupe? And by that I mean the dance troupe. And by that I mean the dancer. And by that I mean Ni-ki. And by that I mean—”
“Yah! You can’t just enter a man’s bedroom!” You exclaimed, flinching at her sudden leap across the room.
“A man?!” she shot back playfully, her eyes sparkling. “You’re not just any man, you’re THE man!”
With an exaggerated roll of your eyes, you settled back onto your warm mattress, attempting to tame your disheveled hair, which had been ruffled by her enthusiastic entrance.
“And why is that?” you challenged, trying to keep your composure. “I could do anything to you.”
“Well, don’t do it to me!” she laughed, shoving you playfully. “Do it to Ni-ki!” She squealed as she grabbed pillows, playfully smothering your face with them.
“Hey, hey!” you protested, struggling to push her away. “You heard me through the walls, didn’t you?!”
“What? Am I not allowed to listen in on my own house?” She batted her eyelashes innocently. “You’re lucky I’m shipping you two!”
Groaning, you leaned back on the bed. “Listen, I really don’t understand it.” You sighed heavily, the weight of the conversation settling in. “I don’t think it’s that serious.”
She turned her body toward you, her brow arched in disbelief. “You best believe it is.”
“It’s not,” you insisted, shaking your head. “He’s an idol. Plus, he’s too young AND too famous.”
Your best friend let out a melodious chuckle, shaking her head in amusement.
“What?” you retorted, feeling defensive.
“You’re only three years older, okay?” she pointed out, her voice teasing. “And for the popularity problem, I don’t think he cares anyway.”
“He’s an idol,” you replied, looking away, the weight of your words hanging in the air. “He should.”
She moved closer, resting her head on your shoulder, her voice softening. “Just test the waters. I’m sure he’s just looking for someone, and he found you at the right moment.”
Your mind wandered back to the memory of Ni-ki holding your hands tightly, and a flutter of hope stirred within you.
“Hahh... You’re right,” you finally admitted, turning to face your friend. “He did say he wants to be friends. To be closer... more accurately.”
“See?” she grinned, her enthusiasm infectious.
“I think I can try being friends,” you said, a small smile creeping onto your face. “Nothing wrong with having a friend.”
“Exactly!” Your best friend cheered, raising her fists in triumph. “Then eventually you da—”
“Eventually he comes to a decision to stop it because I’ll be a liability to him,” you cut her off, the weight of your insecurities surfacing.
Her expression shifted, and she playfully punched your shoulder. “Don’t be such a spoiler! Rah!”
You rolled your eyes again, contemplating whether your words truly reflected the feelings swirling inside you.
Of course, you wanted a new friend. Of course, you wanted that friend to be eager to be friends with you. Of course, you’d love to spend time with someone charismatic and talented—it just happened to be that he was also a famous idol. But doubt lingered in your heart—did you truly deserve this happiness? Would it last? And what if you ruined his career, his dreams, his life? The thought sent a chill down your spine.
“God, that’s a lot of things in your head. What a mess,” you thought, feeling overwhelmed.
“I can see all the mumbling speech bubbles in the air right now,” your best friend chuckled, inching closer. “It’s not that insane, right? Just be friends with him.”
You looked at her, uncertainty etched on your face. “But what if I—”
“Just see what happens,” she urged, her eyes earnest. “If it isn’t really working, you can be honest.”
Taking a deep breath, you gazed at your hands, closing them tightly as if to gather the courage within you.
“I can do that,” you sighed, feeling a flicker of determination.
Your best friend wrapped you in a warm embrace, her genuine warmth easing the tension in your chest. “And don’t forget about me. I’m here too.”
“Mhm,” you replied softly, grateful for her support.
A good few days had passed, and a whirlwind of events had unfolded.
You started your first class right after the fan meet, brimming with joy as you taught a group of bright and eager students. They were a delight to be around, and the administration took notice, appreciating your efforts and offering various roles that came with incentives. Smiling at the opportunities that lay ahead, you signed up for most of them and dedicated yourself diligently to your work.
Meanwhile, your friendship with Ni-ki blossomed. He couldn’t wait another day and called you daily, sharing snippets of his life. He recounted how he spent his resting hours lounging in his room, playing games with his bandmates, and practicing choreography for their upcoming promotions. The two of you were growing closer, and you often found yourself wondering when you would see each other in person again.
“Well, Ni-ki does,” Jungwon said from the front seat of the van, breaking the silence that had settled after a tiring shoot for SBS Inkigayo.
The gentle rumbling of the engine accompanied the sounds of exhaustion radiating from the other members. Half the boys had already succumbed to fatigue, using pillows, eye covers, or handkerchiefs to shield their eyes from the light.
“Yeah, but—” Heeseung turned around in his seat, raising a brow. “Isn’t it already afternoon? Are there still classes this late in the day?”
“Good point,” Sunoo pouted, contemplating. “Maybe their school is a bit different? It is Seoul, after all.”
Unbothered, Ni-ki bit his lip, lost in thought as he envisioned seeing you again. His heart raced at the prospect. Moving his legs quickly, he could almost picture seeing your golden smile. Yeah, that's what he's calling it.
"Hey, stop that." Jake muttered as he lifted the eye cover from his face.
Ni-ki acted as if he couldn't hear Jake's plea. The older rolled his eyes and forced an arm to stop the younger's leg.
"No! I swear to god-"
"Oh, he's awake!" Jungwon looked over to the back, where Ni-ki and Jake sat together. Seems like Jake had been napping for quite a while.
"Ugh, yeah." Jake fixed bits of his hair to the side, revealing his sleepy set of eyes wondering around the van. "This guy ruined it with his leg yapping. What's up?"
"Is it fine if we drop Ni-ki at Yanghoon State?" Jungwon asked as he held his phone. For reference, you shared the location of your school to Ni-ki. Of course, Ni-ki could only keep that information to himself for a while, before Jake swatted his phone and sent the pinned location to their group chat.
"Oh? Yeah." Jake moved an inch closer towards the other boys. "We'll just have to keep an eye when PD-nim needs us for backup or anything."
Jake looked at Ni-ki with a sharp edged look. "You better be proper. You're missing our bro night for this."
"You're not the leader." Ni-ki grinned.
"Hey! I'm still older!" Jake jabbed Ni-ki's shoulder.
The manager raised his hand in acknowledgment. Ni-ki’s eagerness to see you excited the whole group, even the higher-ups, despite the risks involved.
“Do we still need the rental car?” Ni-ki asked, scratching his head. “Can’t we just use this van?”
Heeseung sighed, chuckling. “Bro, you already made such a big fuss in the company. Just bear with the car.”
Ni-ki swiped his hair to the side in mock frustration, realizing that his plan to impress you with the company van had come to a halt.
“He’ll love you driving a Civic,” Jake teased.
“Hyung, I can’t drive,” Ni-ki replied, exasperated.
“Oof, I feel like you’re getting UN-cooler by the minute.”
“Aish!” Ni-ki shoved Jake away playfully.
“Who’s the girl anyway?” the manager asked, curiosity piqued.
Everyone’s heads turned toward Ni-ki, who suddenly wore a serious expression. “It’s a he, okay?” he stated, emphasizing the words.
Jungwon tapped Ni-ki’s leg, smiling reassuringly. “Hey, it’s cool. He just asked.”
“Oh? Who’s the guy? I’ve only ever heard your bandmates talk about his school,” the manager said innocently, eliciting a glare from Ni-ki.
“A cool teacher he met!” Sunoo chimed in, raising his hand enthusiastically. “Ni-ki just wanted to see where he worked.”
“Must be a close friend,” the manager remarked, his grin widening. “We’re here, by the way.”
Ni-ki beamed at the news while his bandmates quietly cheered him on. As he stepped out of the van, he couldn’t shake the image of your smile from his mind.
God, he’ll be so happy, Ni-ki thought, a wave of anticipation washing over him.
“Caps! Shades! Mask!” the manager commanded, snapping Ni-ki back to reality.
“Oh, right.” Ni-ki quickly grabbed his disguise—shades and a mask—to shield himself from the public eye. After all, he was a famous idol.
Moments later, he waved goodbye to his bandmates, who drove away swiftly with their other manager.
“I’m going to find the car we rented. Should be around here somewhere. I’ve got the keys, so you just stay here,” the manager instructed firmly.
"Got it." Ni-ki nodded. As he watched the manager leave, Ni-ki couldn't stand still at his current position. His feet jerked way too many times as he anxiously waited for the car.
Today, he only planned to get a glimpse of you. But it would be much better if he gets to interact with you ... and see your smile yet again. Ni-ki vould only blush and look down on his feet as he thought of it.
To his surprise, Ni-ki turned his head as he heard the school chimes. It wasn't a big school, but it surely looked prestigious. The design of the school was an older Neoclassical style, with a large bell tower that survived wars since its been built.
Of course, Ni-ki couldn't have ever known these facts if he wasn't intent on listening to every detail you shared with him. During your calls, he can only memorize all the things you've said to him. That's how you've been occupying his mind. Just a total overload of your voice fills his heart with bliss and warmth. Totally whipped as one would say.
In no time, students of all ages began to pour out of the gates—young kids chattering with friends, slightly older students engaged in lively conversations, and older students lounging around, soaking in the afternoon sun.
Ni-ki reminisced the times when he went to school too. Seeing all the kids there reminded him of his young social life, where he would often participate in events and talk to many people, whether they were his own age or not.
This made Ni-ki smile, remembering how fun it was when he wasn't such a busy idol.
But you know who made him smile even bigger? The sight of you, conversing with your co-teachers as you got out of the school doors. You wore a nice set of casual slacks that complemented your figure, and you had a comfy and fuzzy turtleneck that covered your otherwise impressive frame. To him, it looked like you were covered in marshmallows.
As you gazed around the school yard, you waved goodbye to your students. It was fun seeing them so involved in your class, and you couldn't be happier seeing them interact so happily with their other peers. It fulfills you, as you exhibit the life of an educator. Even though you still had so much you can dream, but can't even think of how it'll work out.
As you thread on the concrete path you stepped on, you thought of wanting to eat something from the local convenience store. A packed burrito? A sliced bread? Or a serving of dumplings? What would best satisfy you as you waited for the bus?
"Aw...” you exclaimed, scratching your head in surprise as you bumped onto a passerby. “Sorry, I—”
“No worries. I did that on purpose,” came the familiar, playful voice.
You looked up, and your heart raced as you met Ni-ki’s gaze, his handsome face adorned with a wide grin.
“Hi,” he beamed, a light of mischief in his eyes.
Your eyes widened in disbelief. “You!”
“Yeah, me—”
“Damn you and your face!” You exclaimed, instinctively shoving your hands toward him, playfully pushing him back as he stumbled slightly.
“Are you crazy? There are people around!” you admonished, your arms resting on the wall, effectively cornering him.
“Sorry. I just can’t help myself,” Ni-ki smirked, clearly enjoying the flustered state he had put you in.
“You...,” you started, trying to maintain your composure. “You know you’re famous, right?”
“I don’t really care,” he replied nonchalantly.
“I do!” you shot back, meeting his cheeky gaze. “Are you always this much of a headache to your bandmates?”
Ni-ki raised an eyebrow, mock contemplation on his face. “Hmm, let me see if I’m really that silly.”
“My point is, this is a public place!” you insisted, feeling your cheeks warm.
Ni-ki held your hands gently, grounding you as he leaned in closer. “Sorry. Should’ve told you,” he said, his smile disarming.
“Aish,” you sighed, running a hand through your hair. “I’m just your friend. Is it really worth all this trouble to see me?”
Ni-ki straightened up, his expression turning sincere. “I said I want to be closer.”
You looked away, trying to suppress the fluttering in your heart. “You did.”
“I said I want to see you often.”
“Yeah,” you murmured, feeling vulnerable under his gaze.
“Can’t I make that effort?” Ni-ki’s eyes were unwavering, and you felt your resolve weakening.
You stammered, “I—I mean…”
“I just wanted to see you again. Is that so bad?” he asked, sincerity radiating from his every word.
At that moment, you felt the walls you had built around your heart crumbling. You sighed, knowing you couldn’t resist his charm any longer.
“You look cute,” Ni-ki complimented, his gaze warm and inviting.
You blushed fiercely. “You’re... unbearable.”
Ni-ki chuckled, tightening his grip on your hands. “Then learn to bear with me.”
You looked into his eyes, realizing that perhaps this was the beginning of something beautiful.
“Because I won’t be going anywhere.”
hope you like it HEEHEE

pairing: niki x male!reader genre: fluff word count: 1.5k warnings: drinking but not too deep okay its just they're very drunk
Is it really okay to admire someone from a distance? Or do you take the chance to take a step forward and inch closer towards them?
“Ni-ki!” A loud voice echoed through the bustling streets, where pedestrians strolled and cars zipped by.
The young boy sighed, turning his body towards the source of the call, setting down his trusty broomstick and pan. “Can you lower your voice, man?”
“I was calling you for the tenth time, man!”
“For what?”
“Did you get the mechanic? I need them right now. The damn faucet is leaking over here.”
Ni-ki scratched his head, placing the items he held aside. “I’ll call them up.”
As he ambled towards the store, he bumped into someone, causing the stranger to drop their belongings onto the pavement.
“Aish, sorry!” the guy blurted out, frantically picking up his things.
“It’s okay, I got you,” Ni-ki replied, glancing at the other guy.
In that moment, Ni-ki realized he had made a fatal mistake. Though the morning sun shone bright, casting an appealing glow over the guy, Ni-ki could see that he looked utterly disheveled. His messy hair and glistening forehead gave him an oddly captivating aura.
As Ni-ki’s gaze flickered down to the guy’s neck, he quickly turned away, his heart racing. What was happening to him? Was he under some kind of spell? Why was a simple office worker affecting him like this?
Lost in thought, Ni-ki watched as the guy reached for a fine orange that had rolled to his feet. Instinctively, Ni-ki grabbed the guy's wrist just as he was about to pick it up.
Their eyes met, and an unexplainable connection sparked between them.
“I... I was just going to—”
“Oh! Sorry!” Ni-ki exclaimed, realizing the intensity of the moment. He quickly withdrew his hand, but the other guy seized the chance to grab the orange before standing up and awkwardly bowing.
“Really sorry!” he smiled, his demeanor betraying a hint of embarrassment. Ni-ki couldn’t help but laugh internally, charmed by the guy’s unintended cuteness. The stranger then hurried out of the convenience store, leaving Ni-ki staring after him, still feeling the warmth of their brief connection.
Ni-ki stood frozen, thoughts racing in his mind. Why couldn’t he shake the guy from his thoughts? Why did it feel so unsettling yet exhilarating? Why was his chest tightening with something he couldn’t quite place?
“Hey!” A familiar booming voice jolted him back to reality, plus a hard-hitting chop to his nape got him.
“Yah! What was that for?” Ni-ki snapped, a bit disoriented.
“Can’t your sister hit you, huh?” the voice, unmistakably his sister’s, called again. “Spacing out on the job?”
“No…” he protested weakly.
“Whatever.” She sighed. “By the way, Dad needs you early at the studio today.”
Ni-ki's head shot up. “Help?”
“Just get there before lunch; he needs people today.”
He nodded and removed his working apron, still unable to shake off thoughts of the guy he had just met. The memory lingered, making it hard to focus.
Ni-ki was a diligent son, juggling his responsibilities at his sister's convenience store, attending an arts college, and coaching at his father's dance studio. Yet, despite all his hard work, love had always eluded him.
He wasn’t one to engage in social gatherings, and his quiet demeanor didn’t help. Though he enjoyed the attention from friends and admirers, he often felt isolated when it came to matters of the heart.
The prospect of cherishing someone, of satisfying someone he adored, was a beautiful thought. But it felt safer to admire from afar, to appreciate the joy in seeing them live their life happily, without imposing himself on them.
As he got home late from the studio, he found himself contemplating whether it would be okay to stop by your workplace. He knew you always and most often leave work so late at night. Just a quick glance couldn't hurt, he thought.
For months now, he would go on and on inside his head about how he should approach this, but he can only do so much thinking when it involves you.
Unfortunately, as much as he wanted to stay at a safe distance, he found his feet leading him toward you. There he stood at the bottom of your office building, admiring the view from down below.
As he moved to the side, he noticed you exiting the fancy establishment. He walked idly, contemplating where you were headed. Since you lived in the same area, it wouldn’t hurt to hitch a bus ride with you, he reasoned.
But then he saw you late at night, making your way to a bar. The generic-sounding name on the sign did little to impress him. Stepping inside with hesitation, Ni-ki made his way to follow you.
There, he observed you interacting with a guy. As he sat in the corner, trying to avoid the gazes of others, he felt a mix of annoyance and jealousy stirring within him.
But those feelings were unexplainable, so he kept them buried deep inside. Watching you get drunk was amusing, and he couldn’t help but laugh at your clumsiness, which brought him unexpected joy.
However, as the night wore on, the atmosphere between you and the guy grew increasingly tense. Ni-ki felt compelled to keep watch over you, having no idea who this guy was and what his intentions might be.
Moments later, Ni-ki spotted the guy approaching you inappropriately while you were clearly intoxicated. This fueled something inside him. Rage boiled as his feet moved on their own.
“Hey! You bastard!” he shouted, throwing a punch that sent the guy sprawling to the ground. The impact echoed through the alley, drawing the attention of a few nearby passersby.
The guy quickly scrambled to his feet, eyes wide with shock and fury. “Who the hell?” he snarled, wiping blood from his lip.
Ni-ki didn’t hesitate, charging forward with renewed determination. “Get away from him!” He landed another punch, this time connecting with the guy’s jaw, sending him staggering back again.
The guy swung wildly, trying to retaliate, but Ni-ki was quick on his feet. He dodged to the side and countered with a sharp kick to the guy’s side, causing him to double over. “Try that shit with me, I dare you!” he shouted, adrenaline coursing through his veins.
The fight intensified, with Ni-ki darting around his opponent, throwing punches and dodging blows with a fierce intensity he didn’t know he possessed. Each strike felt like a declaration of his resolve to protect you, to be there for you in your moment of need.
“Pretty boy, can’t wait for the prize, huh?” the guy taunted, regaining his footing.
Ni-ki’s brow furrowed in anger. “You pig!” He charged forward again, landing another solid punch that sent the guy crashing into a stack of crates. With a primal instinct to protect, he followed up with a flurry of punches, each one fueled by a mix of anger and determination.
Finally, after a series of blows, the guy collapsed, groaning in defeat. Ni-ki stood over him, panting heavily, fists still clenched, ready for any further aggression. But the guy lay still, defeated and unable to rise.
Breathing heavily, Ni-ki turned his attention back to you, who was still sitting on a pile of cardboard boxes, looking dazed. As he approached, he felt a wave of flustered concern wash over him. You were clearly drunk, your eyes glassy and unfocused, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of protectiveness.
“Hey, are you okay?” Ni-ki crouched down beside you, his heart racing as he took in your state. “You’re… you’re really drunk,” he said, a hint of nervousness creeping into his voice.
You blinked slowly, trying to process his words. "Mmh..fine…” you slurred, but the way your head lolled to the side told him otherwise.
Ni-ki’s heart raced as he reached out, brushing a stray hair from your forehead. “No, you’re not. You need to rest.” He took a deep breath, steeling himself. “Let me help you.”
Carefully, he slipped an arm under your shoulders and the other beneath your knees, lifting you gently. Your weight felt surprisingly comforting against him, but he couldn’t shake the feeling of vulnerability that washed over him.
“...oohhh?” you murmured, your voice soft and slightly confused.
“Just relax, I’ve got you,” he replied, trying to sound steady despite the fluttering in his chest. As he adjusted his grip, you nestled your head against his shoulder, and he felt a rush of warmth spread through him.
“Why ...arhm ... you help..ing ... me..?” you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.
“Because… I couldn’t just leave you,” he admitted, a hint of shyness creeping into his tone. “You deserve better than this.”
He carried you through the alley, heart racing not just from the exertion, but from the closeness between you. He felt a mix of protectiveness and admiration, something he had never experienced so intensely before.
“Where are you going?” he asked as you rummaged through his room, searching for something.
“My phone! My bag!” you exclaimed, a hint of panic in your voice.
“What?” Ni-ki tilted his head, confusion written across his face. “You never had one.”
You froze, realizing you must've left it at the bar.
“Ugh…” You slumped into the nearest chair, messing up your hair in irritation. “I’m late for work!!!”
Ni-ki let out a light, airy laugh, the kind that made your heart skip a beat.
“Why are yo—”
“It’s Sunday today,” he replied, beaming.
Suddenly, it clicked. Your mouth dropped in realization, relief flooding over you.
“Oh…” you said softly. “Oh my god.”
Ni-ki laughed again this time with a bit of a more deep cadence, yet still an airy tone of amusement toward you.
Ahhh its here! Ni-ki won't let you catch no stray 🙈💙 My Masterlist!
pairing: niki x male!reader genre: fluff word count: 2.3k warnings: drinking, implied stuff regarding drinking, implied stuff done by people when they encounter those who are wasted from drinking ...
Do you know that feeling when you meet someone so pretty it hurts your eyes a bit, and tugs your heart, and you feel like you're going to burst down in flames altogether where you stood? That's how exactly how you'll feel when someone just comes your way, being their cute little self.
"I'm tired." You sighed heavily as you rearranged the papers stacked neatly in front of you. It had already been a minute since you fiddled with them, not that you paid any attention to it anyway.
"Come on! It’s not like the end of the world if you tried getting out, right?" Thea, one of your co-workers, playfully tapped your back as she urged you to try another round of her matchmaking. To be honest, you had no confidence in getting anyone to date you with these blind dates. You just felt pity for your friend, however it may seem.
"I guess third time's a charm?" France, your other co-worker, leaned beside your desk. "You have to stop at some point, though. It’s still meeting strangers."
*Sigh.* Obviously, you sighed again.
"Fine, I'll go." You raised your hands in mock surrender. "But just because I don't want you to be sad, Thea."
"Yey! But it’s not for me; it’s for you!" Thea cheered. "It’s just one guy! We’ll have no idea if you don’t try now."
"Just be careful," France spoke, a hint of concern lacing his words as your friend. "The last time I saw you—"
"That was a mistake, France." You stood up quickly, adjusting your bag on your shoulder. "I should've just said no. Yet I insisted and got into some mess that you had to be called to rescue me. I still owe you for that."
France laughed quickly at this. "Pssh, it wasn't anything. You're my friend. It’s my job to look out for you."
"Uh-huh," Thea butted in, trying to suppress her laughter.
"Shut up, little person," France retorted quickly. "Best be on your way; I heard this guy booked you at 8."
"Yup! Just be on the dot!" Thea added, walking closer to you as you moved toward the elevator doors.
"Are they any better than the first guy?" you asked, feeling a flicker of hope. Maybe this guy might be worth a shot this time.
Thea laughed. "They will!"
"I'll hold you to that." You smirked as you saw the elevator doors open.
"Update us!" Thea waved as France settled behind her to see you off.
"Sure thing," you spoke as the elevator doors began to close.
The chime rang, and the shaft glided down the office floors you had grown accustomed to over the past year. Quickly getting a job after graduation had been a breeze, but all the things you had to do after that were another story. Living alone in the city was a hassle, especially with your boss’s constant demands since you were a new hire. It was probably because of your talent for working a little too hard that you might be a teensy bit gullible at this point, but oh well... It pays. So you might as well.
As for love, you never really had one. Not that it didn't interest you, but rather, you had waited for it, and it never came. You had never entertained anyone, but who would court someone as plain and boring as you? You worked hard enough to be buried in files and stacks of paperwork, so you never thought anyone would understand you on that level.
In some terms, you had given up already. But right now, it wasn’t the case. Right now, you were being given chances to see people. You never really had a preference for who to go out with—basically any type. You just wanted someone to look your way, and maybe it would spark that flame inside you too.
On your way to the bar, you saw a large sign on the side of a fancy-looking establishment. It read 'Retro Palace.' Not that it was important, but it sounded really generic. Instead of wallowing in the dilemma of the establishment's name, you stepped inside to see crowds of people. There was no way you could properly do a blind date in a place like this. Plus, you were never a club person. In fact, you hated parties and events that needed crowds. But maybe this was worth a shot. Maybe?
As you entered, you sliced through the middle of the pool of people, who were doing all kinds of things: dancing, shouting, conversing, and more. There was definitely a vibe that every person inside that place exuded.
You remembered you were supposed to go to the second floor, a platform dedicated to dining and feeling a lot more relaxed than the ground floor mess you were in. You spotted it clearly in the distance. A spiral staircase led to the top, where a small luxurious bar sat between rows of fine seats that could cater to just about anyone.
Feeling fancy, you adjusted your attire. It wasn’t your favorite combo, but you couldn’t refuse a gift from your co-worker. The suit was tight, and the colors didn’t really match your face. In any case, it still looked good with the way you carried it, but wearing it was definitely another case entirely.
As you tried to find the best seat, your phone rang. To your surprise, it was your supposed date.
"Oh, hey! I'm here." You smiled as you answered quickly.
"Yup, I can see you from where I'm sitting," the other person chuckled over the line, seemingly already inside the establishment.
"Oh? Where?" You turned to your sides to find the mysterious date.
"The nearest table to the bar. To your left." You squinted again to your left and found a guy standing and waving his hand. Looks like you’re in for a good night.
Although walking closer, it didn’t seem to click. As much as he was good-looking, there wasn't that connection you were hoping to find. It felt... odd. Maybe it was just the norm since you had never met this guy before. The night was still young.
As the guy opened up a seat for you, you thanked him for the gesture and settled in comfortably. He introduced himself.
"Hi! I'm Chang. You must be?"
"Yup, in the flesh," you nodded. Whoever Thea had connections with, she sure had many. This was the second guy she referred to, but it did seem she had a whole collection up her sleeve of people to refer. It seemed... concerning. But that was for another day.
The conversation started light, but as the minutes passed, you felt the disconnect grow. Chang had a pleasant demeanor, but your mind wandered. You were trying to connect, but something felt off.
“Have you been to any other places like this?” he asked, taking a sip of his drink.
“Not really. I prefer quieter spots,” you replied, feeling a mix of anxiety and discomfort.
“Ah, come on! You gotta live a little!” Chang laughed, but it felt forced, like he was trying too hard.
As you looked around, a waiter walked near and handed you two drinks. Chang clasped his hands around yours and served it on his own.
"Here. Got you a fine mix for the night. On me." Chang smiled broadly as he mixed your drink with the straw it came with. That was... a gesture for sure. You could only smile so wearily.
Chang then raised his drink and moved closer to you.
"To more chances of seeing your handsome face up close. Cheers." His eyes meticulously focused on you, prompting chills down your spine. Was this what real nerves were supposed to feel like? Or just cringe?
"Sure. Cheers." You could have never said that more tiredly. Almost doing it all for the sake of finishing the date, you drank the mix in one go. Chang's eyes widened at your action, but he nevertheless still enjoyed watching you unravel little by little.
As you took another sip from your glass, you felt the warmth intensifying, the drink beginning to take effect. The tension that had settled in your shoulders began to ease, and you found yourself laughing at Chang's jokes, even if they weren’t particularly funny.
“Alright, let’s play a game,” Chang suggested, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Two truths and a lie! I’ll go first.”
You leaned in closer, intrigued despite yourself. The game had a way of breaking the ice, and at this moment, you needed a distraction from the gnawing feeling of disconnect. Chang quickly rattled off his statements, and you found yourself engaged, playing along.
As the minutes turned into hours, you began to notice something unsettling about Chang. His laughter felt a bit too loud, his gestures a bit too exaggerated, and the way he leaned in closer made you feel uneasy. You brushed it off at first, attributing it to the atmosphere of the bar and the alcohol coursing through your veins.
“Another round?” Chang asked, his smile wide and inviting.
“Why not?” you said, raising your glass, feeling more adventurous than ever. You downed your drink, the sensation of the alcohol igniting a fire within you that you hadn’t expected. You weren't really a big fan of drinking, but when you did, you always tended to go all out.
But as the night wore on, the laughter grew quieter, and your surroundings began to shift. The edges of your vision blurred, and the sounds around you became muffled. You could sense the growing warmth of the alcohol wrapping around you like a cozy blanket.
“Hey, I think I need a breather,” you mumbled, standing up unsteadily. The room swayed slightly, and Chang reached out to steady you, a predatory glint in his eyes.
“Let’s step outside for a bit,” he suggested, guiding you toward the exit. As you stepped outside, the cool air hit your face, but it couldn’t chase away the feeling of unease that settled in your stomach.
“Feeling good?” Chang asked, leaning in a little too close for comfort. His breath smelled of alcohol, and you could see the way his eyes roamed over you, making your skin crawl.
“Uh, yeah, just… need some fresh air,” you replied, trying to put some distance between you.
“Come on, don’t be shy. You know you had fun tonight,” he said, his tone dripping with false charm. “Why don’t we continue this party just the two of us?”
Your heart raced as you realized the implications of his words. “I think I should really be going,” you said, attempting to step back.
But Chang blocked your path, his expression shifting from playful to something darker. “Oh, come on. You’re not going to leave me hanging after all this fun, are you?” His gaze lingered a little too long, and the way he reached out to brush a stray hair behind your ear sent shivers down your spine.
“Seriously, I need to go,” you insisted, your voice trembling slightly.
“Just relax,” he said, his smile widening unnaturally as he leaned closer. “We can have a lot more fun. Just you and me.”
The panic set in, and before you could respond, the world around you began to blur again. You could feel the warmth of the alcohol wrapping around you like a heavy blanket, pulling you down into darkness.
“Hey, don’t you want to have a good time?” Chang’s voice echoed in yo̵u̸r̷ ̸m̵i̸n̶d̷ ̶a̷s̴ ̷e̶v̶e̸r̷y̷t̴h̵i̸n̸g̶ ̸f̷a̵d̵e̷d̵ ̶t̴o̶ ̶b̴l̸a̴c̸k̴.̷
Your eyes jolted awake, blinking against the sunlight streaming through a window. The air smelled of something delicious—bacon and eggs? As you looked around, a weight shifted, seemingly on top of you, and you looked down to find a small, fluffy dog staring intently at you.
Strange... It was a dog you vaguely recognized, who tilted his head, his big eyes full of curiosity. You couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, the dog's innocent demeanor contrasting sharply with the confusion swirling in your mind.
As you took in your surroundings, you realized you were in an unfamiliar room. The cozy space was decorated with simple but charming furnishings that felt oddly welcoming. The faint sound of sizzling came from the kitchen nearby.
“You're awake. That's good.” A calm voice called from that direction. You turned to see a figure moving about, clearly busy preparing breakfast.
“Uh, morning?” you managed to reply, your voice still thick with sleep.
“You must be hungry. You really knocked back those drinks last night.” A young man with a relaxed demeanor approached, holding a plate full of food.
Your heart sank slightly, memories of the previous night flooding back but feeling scattered and muddled. You recalled laughter, games, and warmth, but something about the night felt off, like a detail on the tip of your tongue that you couldn’t quite grasp.
"Wait... You're..."
"Not the guy you were with last night? Definitely." The young man smirked. "I'm Nishimu— I mean, just Ni-ki is fine."
You tilted your head, curious as to who this man was. He looked too young, too bright, and well ... too handsome. He only wore a grey tank top, exposing his bare arms that were a bit defined. Not that it mattered, he was in the comfort of his own home anyway. His eyes were sharp, but not piercing through you. Instead, they were filled with simple concern. As he sat next to you, he brushed stray hair from your face. With the way he treated you, you couldn't help but feel a light warmth buzzing over your cheeks. That was certainly... a reaction.
“Did I… did I spend the night here?” you asked cautiously, looking around as you distracted yourself from the thought you just had.
Ni-ki shrugged, his expression steady and thoughtful. “Yeah, you were out cold when we got back. I couldn’t just leave you on the street. You were shivering all over here. Bisco was worried, you know?”
You glanced at Bisco, who had jumped off the bed and was now wagging his tail happily, oblivious to your unease. "Oh... That's a nice name."
"Thanks..." "..." "Oh, you meant the dog? Cool. Cool, cool."
“...but thank you.” You replied, trying to keep your voice steady. “Also, I don’t really remember much after stepping outside.”
“Things can get a bit wild sometimes,” Ni-ki said, his tone calm but with an underlying sense of understanding. “You seemed like you were having fun, but it’s always good to be careful.”
Your heart raced as unease gripped you tighter. You felt trapped in a moment that should have been carefree, with Bisco’s warm presence only slightly comforting against the growing realization that something was very wrong.

notes: couldn't wait so i had to do another round for ni-ki AAAAAAA i love him sm guys 🥺
After a lively fan meeting, you grapple yourself with self-doubt and curiosity, ultimately dialing ENHYPEN Ni-ki’s number, unsure of what to expect.
You fiddled with your phone as your fingers moved through the virtual keys. Contemplating, you bit your lip while burying yourself in deep thought.
Should I expect him to personally answer? you thought to yourself. He's probably messing with me, another thought fluttered through your mind. Is this really it? The final realization hit you hard.
With a hesitant push, you dialed the number that was given to you. You didn't even know why you did it, but curiosity propelled you forward.
Out of all the people inside that hall, why you? Why had that idol paid attention to you? Was it because of how you looked? How you spoke? A myriad of reasons swirled in your mind, but it was never too late to—
"Hello?"
You jolted in shock and nearly tossed your phone onto your bed. Fortunately, you had pressed the loudspeaker, allowing the somewhat familiar tone to resonate through the room.
"Hellooo~" the other person tried again, a hint of playfulness in his voice.
"Ah, um…"
"Ah, um?"
"I-it's me… The guy from—"
"Yeah!" Ni-ki hurriedly responded, catching his breath before attempting to regain his composure. "I-I mean, I wasn't… waiting or anything. Ahem."
"Oh." You spoke, surprised by his abrupt tone change, but strangely, it didn't bother you.
Ni-ki felt a surge of cringe as he realized he had come off too dismissive. "I-I meant I had something to do… But it's good to hear from you."
A smile crept onto your face. You probably misunderstood what the young idol meant, so you let that small bit go unnoticed.
"Busy?" you asked, genuinely concerned.
"As a bee," Ni-ki answered quickly.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Bzzzzz~"
You laughed as you heard him starting to speak gibberish from across the line. Little did you know, your laughter triggered something in him—an unexpected flutter of butterflies dancing within. Just folly, he thought, but the feeling was undeniable.
"Don't laugh at me. I am busy as a bee," Ni-ki insisted with mock sass.
"I know, I know, you're a performer and all."
Both of you fell quiet for a moment, caught in a comfortable silence. It was a raw bit, something rarely captured in dramas—the unspoken thoughts lingering between you.
"Let me get straight to it." You shifted in your chair. "Why did you want me to call you back?"
Ni-ki spun around in his chair, searching for a reasonable answer but struggling to articulate his thoughts. "You just… seemed different to me. That's all."
Although you found his answer somewhat vague, you had to believe it. There was probably no other reason, but you were willing to accept anything over nothing to satisfy your curiosity.
"Hmm. Is it because I'm the only guy there earlier?"
"What do you mean? There's us—"
"You're from a boy group. It's not really commonplace, so I understand." You spoke, drawing from your earlier life experiences.
"Ah yeah. But no!" Ni-ki leaned back in his chair, clearing his throat to emphasize his point. "I just wanted to get to know why someone like you was there that day."
Another curious answer from Ni-ki made you tilt your head.
"It doesn't seem strange to me," he continued. "I just wanted to know why you're a fan."
You smiled, beginning to understand his perspective. You were well aware of how much idols valued their fans, but this was close enough to make you melt into a puddle.
"Actually," you tried to speak clearly through the phone. "I just got into Korea. Back home, I was caught up in a lot of things. And before that, I wasn't really familiar with you guys."
Ni-ki's surprise was palpable. "You're not Korean?"
Now, it was your turn to be shocked. "Wah… That's the part you're surprised about?"
"I mean, you looked cool," he mused, trying to recall how you had appeared earlier. "You were definitely there to tease me, trying to catch my attention and stealing it from my other fans." He chuckled, a slight smirk forming on his lips.
"Hey!" You defended. "I wasn't really doing anything!"
Ni-ki laughed loudly, attempting to ease the atmosphere. "I was kidding."
A brief silence followed.
"You really looked quite different, so I had to take the chance," he said earnestly.
You contemplated his words. Ni-ki seemed like a young guy who probably never truly got to enjoy his teenage years. It must have been endless practices and recitals, training and such. You couldn't even fathom what he had to endure all those years before meeting him.
"So you wanted someone to be friends with, hmm?" you ventured, surprised at your own boldness.
"That and… I don't really like talking to just anyone," Ni-ki sighed. "It may get me hate, but sometimes, people feel too comfortable with me. It bothers me that I can't move without people constantly trying to get a hold of me."
You listened carefully as he spoke, his words revealing a sincere longing for companionship. Despite the uncertainty, you found yourself wanting to lend an ear.
"I get it," you replied after a moment of silence.
"Yeah."
"Then I'll lend you my own ear. Or whatever you want."
Ni-ki's face lit up with pure gladness. As he heard your words, he leaned closer to the phone. "Then be my fan."
You quirked your brows at this unexpected request. "Huh?"
"You said you really weren't an Engene as much as you want to be, so I'll challenge you to be one. Maybe someone solely supporting me. Yeah?" Ni-ki said, trying to frame it as a challenge.
You pondered for a moment before arriving at a conclusion.
"Fine. I'll be a fan."
Ni-ki raised his hand triumphantly. "No wait! Something better. I've got one!"
You waited, curious about what he might come up with this time.
"Let's get closer with each other. How about that?"
You were taken aback. Was he trying to hit on you, or was this some kind of prank? Surely he wasn't joking at this hour?
"Ni-ki, right? Are you okay? How can a fan be—"
"Just keep me company," Ni-ki smiled, his sincerity shining through. "I would love to have a new face keep watch over me."
You tried to process the ridiculous idea but all you could do was agree and comply with his whimsy.
"You sure it's okay?" you asked cautiously. He was a popular idol, after all. There were too many caveats to befriending someone this famous.
"We'll be fine," Ni-ki reassured you, wanting you to trust him. He aimed to prove himself reliable in moments like this.
You thought for a long while, weighing your options. All of that led to an answer you had already predicted.
"Sure." You smiled. "I'll be your friend, Ni-ki."
"Nishimura Riki." He stated proudly. "That's my full name."
You chuckled lightly. "I knew that. I've read tons of guides about you guys."
Ni-ki rolled his eyes, a playful grin on his face. "Sure. But you've got the actual me here right now. Let me be your guide. Hmm?"
You thought again, but this time, it didn’t require much deliberation. “Sure. Whatever you say.”
"Call me whatever you want," Ni-ki offered.
"Ni-ki still sounds cool."
"You don't think it's boring?"
"I think it's uniquely you. Ni-ki."
Ni-ki smiled as he heard his name from your voice. It felt like a sweet haven to him.
"Then I won't bother you anymore tonight," Ni-ki said, preparing to let you rest.
"That's alright. You should go rest too," you replied, sending your regards. "Thanks for answering."
Ni-ki brushed his hair back as he heard your gratitude. "I just had the phone in my hand; you were very lucky."
You chuckled. "Whatever. Goodnight, Ni-ki."
"Goodnight!" Just then, he heard the beep signaling the end of the call.
"Aish! I tapped too early!" You muttered as you slipped your finger toward the end button. "He probably thinks I'm inconvenienced by his call! Ughhh!"
As you thought about that awkward end call, it was a separate situation for Ni-ki.
"Wait, I hung up on my ear?!" Ni-ki exclaimed, clutching the skin flap of his left ear.
Heeseung laughed as he watched Ni-ki fumble with his phone, pacing around the room in confusion.
"He's totally going to think I got bored! Hyung, help me out!" Ni-ki plopped down on the soft couch, bouncing Heeseung from the other side.
"Yah!" Heeseung wailed. "Ugh. Don't dwell on it too much. You did pretty good."
Ni-ki scratched his head, contemplating whether he should call you again.
"Don't even bother; the guy was already confused as to why you liked him," Jay chimed in from a seat away. "It's best if you talk together somewhere outside. A nice meal would be a good treat for him, no?"
Ni-ki looked at Jay, a smile creeping onto his face. "That actually sounds nice. Thanks, hyungs!" he clasped his hands together, acting with a respectful bow as he exited the living room.
Left to their own devices, Heeseung and Jay settled into the couch Ni-ki had just vacated.
"He clearly had the hots for that guy the moment he saw him," Jay said, cracking open a pack of chips.
"Love at first sight, I guess?" Heeseung smiled at the memory, diving his hands into the cheesy snack in front of him. "God, that's good. Mmhm."
"Hopefully, he can be honest with the guy," Jay remarked, munching away. "He needs someone to be his emotional support right now."
Heeseung turned to Jay, a questioning look on his face. "Don't we all?"
Jay chuckled. "Just let him be. We've got his back if things go south." He tapped Heeseung's back reassuringly.
Heeseung smiled, reflecting on how Ni-ki was growing up each day. It was a thought that warmed his heart, and he hoped for the best for his friend.
HEHE I HOPE YOU LIKED IT YALLLL

word count: 1.8k
notes: first work ever here LOL! i do describe things a lot, but sometimes I just skip and go~ also pls forgive the writing errors, my englishing isn't english enough 🖐😭
There's only so much a fan could get to experience, but there's an unhealthy amount of delusion if you think a random number written by your idol on your wrist means anything at all. Give it a call?
It wasn't a typical day, given that it wasn't really a typical week either.
Last Tuesday, you're friend introduced you to a new k-pop group called ENHYPEN. Wednesday, you tried to browse their discography and learned that even though they we're a new group, they had such a lot of content out already for you to binge. Thursday, the finalization for your work in South Korea just got settled. Being a teacher wouldn't be so bad, and you're lucky you've befriended your bestest most reliable and quirky bestfriend that offered to take you in while you earned for a living.
Friday, you settled your tickets, and come Saturday you've boarded, landed and arrived at Seoul safe and sound. Sunday was a fun day out, with your bestfriend taking you to various places to get familiar with, and having the best meals while you still have the time to spare. Monday came and your friend just told you the loudest announcement you've ever heard since gaining stable consciousness from your flight jetlag.
"I GOT THE FANMEET TICKETS!!"
"Fanmeet?" You jolted in surprise. You were familiar with how k-pop works, but you've only ever supported one group. You've never even been in a concert, so this was a shocker to still hear upclose.
"Which group was it again?" You asked.
"Enhypen!! I'm going to see Jungwonnie!! AAAA!!!" Your bestfriend shrieked happily as she ran fast towards her room. It seemed like couldn't really hide her happiness, and that you were glad for her.
A sudden creak of the door prompts you to turn around again.
"Oh, and you're coming too! Get ready!"
What's that? A surprised look on your face? Yes, yes it is. Your jaw might drop so you better get your hands and put it back in place. You don't even fully know who these people are, and yet you feel ... Happy? Elated? It seemed like maybe fate had a big plan for you after all.
Tuesday — you sat on the comfortable plastic chair aligned beside the walls, waiting for a cue that seemingly got more longer as you waited and waited. You sighed, only looking from to side to side to find your bestfriend. She did say she was going for a quick break, but you really don't think '20' minutes count as 'quick'.
"Bestie, I'm here! Sorry, I had to retouch for a bit... I can't be looking all toasty and tired for my Wonnie! You agree right?"
Just as she arrives, the next line of fans are being called by the organizing staff, all by their names to enter the hall where the idols are.
Chills. Sweating. Nervousness. You couldn't even feel a single nerve as you entered the place. It was quite a comfortably quiet hall. There were atleast two more lines of avid fans, all kept between stanchions and more rows of stanchions. But nothing compares to the stage area to the furthest postion from where you stood. Lights were on and focused still for the seven gentlemen sat behind a large extended desk.
"Six ... Seven. Huh ... I guess they're also seven." You counted the members by head as they seemed so little and out of reach from your postion. Looking in, you start to see the appeal of these people to your friend and the fans around you. They seemed fresh, happy, and had an overall positive aura eminating from them even from afar. The line took yet another couple of minutes before finally you're in the best seat in the house, the front of these handsome young gentlemen.
"H-hello! I would love for you to sign this please-" You tried your best to present yourself as a long time fan. As awkward it may seem, you can't let it be embarassing for the both of you guys. You just had to make it seem casual because ONE, you might get cancelled for being fake and TWO, it just feels awkward to have a chance fo meet an idol who probably had a better supporter than you who doesn't even have a bias yet.
Heeseung looked at you funnily, seemingly knowing what's going through your head. "You gotta commit to the bit. Not a lot of fans get the chance, mhm?" His smile blinded your eyes a bit... is it possible to hide a star inside the roof of your mouth?
"S-sorry ... Nerves... And stuff..." You spoke a little too good about your condition. Too good that Jay turned his head hearing your voice.
"You sound good with your Korean! Really natural." He said as you move forward in front of him.
"Thank you! Trying my best to get the hang of it." You smiled as you exchanged glances and laugh with Jay. You really did your best to smile and act courteous to the idols. They seemed like a good bunch, so you had to express your gratitude for them representing those fans that are definitely much better suited for this that you.
While you take your time to chat with the other members, one particular boy kept looking your way.
"No way that's natural." Ni-ki spoke.
Jungwon turned his head towards the younger one, who kept glancing at the same spot for minutes now.
"Aish, you can't just say that. Besides, that hair color suits them no?"
Ni-ki sighs. Jungwon points his brow in interest.
"What?" The older boy said.
"Hyung, he's too pretty to be here. I'll loose my job."
Jungwon burst out laughing as Ni-ki spun a nice joke out of nowhere. "You can't be serious. He's just a fanboy. And what do we do with Engenes? We appreciate them, not get scared because they look too good." Jungwon then looked back again. "Then again, he does look good."
But the young boy never meant that he was scared, but he was just really mesmerized. He can't seem to put any words in his head somehow, yet when he looks at this one specific guy, a warm spot in the pit of his stomach started to wrap his body in familiarity. He just seems comfortable, seeing such a pretty sight.
Sunoo then tried to butt in to the conversation. "He's the first fanboy this fanmeet today. Extremely rare. Usually they're four or five."
"We'd be lucky to have that, the staff barely accomodates fanboys during fanmeets." Jungwon smirked as he turned his chair towards the other. "Were you desperately looking for male Engenes?"
"Ugh! No. I was just- you know what. I'll be busy. Hi there-* Sunoo smiles as he tended to the next Engene in line.
A couple of minutes later, you were already at the last gentleman. Standing right across you is Ni-ki, the group's youngest member. He stares at you quite long, enough to warrant a tap from his manager to speed it up.
"Hi..." You tried to sound confident, yet it doesn't seem to work when you say it outloud. Might as well bury yourself in the ground no?
"Sorry." Niki shrugged as he leaned forward from his seat.
"Huh?"
"With the way I kept staring at you? You just seem so good looking. I mean, I have to be honest." Ni-ki smiled as he tried his best to be 'cool' around you. He doesn't want his idol image tarnished, so he probably thought the best way to show his appreciation is to act nonchalantly. Of course, his older members beside him can only snicker.
"Ah? I... Thank you I guess." You shyly try to brush your bangs off your face from embarrassment. Ni-ki smiled as it seemed he found a way to fluster you, while you try and sit properly and take the compliment slowly and surely like a hard pill.
"So ... Want me to sign that for you?" Ni-ki asked gently. You snap out of your quick trance and gathered your self, retreiving the album from your lap that already received six fine signatures.
"H-here!" You almost shouted, making Ni-ki shoot his eyes wide at you and chuckle a bit. He looked cute while doing that, you thought. As you tried to pass the album on top of the desk, his hands graze yours. It was as if there was a slight electric pull that got you hot and bothered. Ni-ki can only look at the spot on his hand were you touched.
"Got warm hands huh?" Ni-ki slapped himself for such a dumb comment, yet it is true. The moment his hands grazed yours by accident, it was as if he's instantly charmed by you. Its impossible it's magic, but it did send some chills in his spine. Good chills. Lovingly sweet chills.
You tried to smile at his comment, but you couldn't even comprehend a word he said. You were just nervous as heck. But it paid off — you got to score a free fanmeeting from your bestfriend and now you were talking to seven handsome gentlemen, especially this mysterious seventh one.
After a quick write, Ni-ki passed on the album towards your direction. While handing it, he took his chance to finally hold your hand.
"Oh-" Right, this is normal. You've seen in other pictures out there than idols hold their fan's hands for a short second. It was just ... Too nerve-racking.
"You've got to let me see you again." Ni-ki's face was eager to wait for your response. It seems he was quickly mesmerized by your minimal yet warm presence today.
Thinking of an answer on top of your head, you can only blurt out honestly. "I'm afraid I don't really have that much money in me to buy another chance." Ni-ki and the other members by his side laughed discreetly.
"You don't need to worry. We'll wait for you!" Jungwon snuck himself to the conversation, with an adoring fan next to you smiling.
Does that mean he can't see him anymore? This young man's fascination has to just end like that? Ni-ki pondered quickly as he realized he might never get to see you again. After all, he knows the struggle of getting into this fanmeets and such.
He grabs your hand in a quick tug and places it to the side, the end of the extended desk where no one can really see what's being done.
"Wha-"
"Let me see you again."
You tilted your head. An idol wanting you to come back? And so desperately? It doesn't seem like an ill intention, perhaps just morbid curiosity? But of what kind?
"Uhm-"
"Here." Ni-ki brought out his marker and wrote a string of unfamiliar digits onto your bare arm.
"What's this?" You tilted your head.
"Can you call me soon? Promise I won't make you uncomfortable."
You quirked your eyebrow. Did this idol just, give you his number? You should be screaming right? Jumping for joy and rubbing it to everyone's faces?
"I'm just interested to know more about you." Ni-ki smiled this time, his eyes closing in like a wide smile across his features, showing genuine hope for a call.
"S-sure." You smiled back. It did seem genuine, and now your arm has been completely vandalized by an idol.
You look at the digits before getting a light tap from the security personnel behind you.
Ni-ki waved goodbye as you were guided down the stage. You looked at the set of digits to memorize them and then hid your arm with the written contact under your sleeves. It must've been strange, but it sure wouldn't hurt to see where this leads, right?
Requests OPEN! I'm trying to fill up my new account with stories I just love to write so if you guys want something out there (esp. male! reader stories) lmk!

chapter eleven: emo shins
"for the last time, stay away from abigail, she's mine."
"not if i get to her first."
"you bitch-"
the seemingly never-ending squabble for the fictional female continues, eventually resulting in yn losing the current battle.
he curses as riki's avatar manages to swoop in mere seconds before his can, gifting the girl a chunk of amethyst. "shit-faced ball licker." ni-ki's laugh fills his ears as he adjusts his phone's position with one hand, flipping him the bird with the other.
"that's a new one."
it's been well past an hour since they began the call, their other members preparing for bed at this point. the facetimes they have can get kind of random, but usually they'll either fall asleep watching a movie on netflix or just end up in a multiplayer game on switch. yn introduced stardew valley to riki a week or so ago, and since then they've been grinding co-op on their shared "peeniz farm". ridiculously immature, but both found the title hilarious. however, there seems to be a recurring argument over who gets a certain purple-haired character.
"she doesn't even like your gifts, all you give her is flowers."
"because i don't spend all my days in the fucking mines?! weirdo."
"who fishes and forages the whole time again?"
"me, ki. i'm the one that touches grass."
"hey."
"shut up," yn rolls his eyes exaggeratedly, finally relenting with a sigh. "whatever, you can have her. i'll just go for the emo instead, i guess."
"at last, you give up." ni-ki exhales contentedly, then frowns. "wait what emo."
"you know, the emo guy that never comes out of his room? hair looks like a bird?" yn racks his brain for the name, snapping his fingers once he gets it. "sebastian, that's it!"
"oh."
an elongated pause ensues.
on riki's side, it's due to a mild... celebration, of sorts. he has to move from the camera view in order to quietly pump his fist into the air, paired with a whispered "yesss" that has jay shooting him a weird glance as he passes by the living room. he hopes he isn't looking into the situation too much, but according to what just happened yn confirmed rather explicitly that he's into guys, which is a total win. yes, they flirt a lot, but not exclusively with each other. plus, it's not like they're being serious. they may have a close relationship, but they've never spoken about this subject before, and riki wouldn't ever make assumptions. he's not a dickbag, he doesn't think a guy's automatically gay just because he appears feminine.
don't get the kid wrong though, he's not quite gotten to finding a label for everything going on. he doesn't know what he... is, he doesn't know anything beyond the fact that he has a small, teensy-weensy crush on yn. he's had one the moment they met, it just took him a little longer to actually acknowledge it, since he's not felt this way for anyone. he hasn't told a soul about this, but clearly sunoo's pieced it together (the bitch knows EVERYTHING) and knowing him he probably let it slip to sunghoon. the others for sure have their suspicions, but they haven't fully caught on yet.
but what if he's only messing around? the possibility majes ni-ki grimace. it's not that deep, it's only a video game. this is much too complicated. does he casually inquire further, or does he leave the topic alone? dammit, decisions, decisions.
meanwhile, yn's kinda freaking on his end. he's managed to maintain a perfectly composed poker face as he shifts to lie down with his nintendo, but the silence is sloely unnerving him. did i just... unintentionally out myself... with a fucking emo? he runs a hand over his long hair, inwardly punching himself. it's okay, it's fine. why would riki judge? they're best friends, he'd never pull that kind of shit. he's nothing like him.
fuck, the overthinking's getting to him. he's ready to use an 'i was just kidding' card until his companion speaks up. "why him, though? go for a better guy, at least."
and just like that all his fears are chased away, replaced by an eased smile as he stares fondly at the boy on his phone rather than the game. "yeah? and who do you suggest?"
"i don't know, like... shane?"
"shane? you've gotta be shitting me."
"why?? what's wrong with him?!"
"what- he's a raging cunt and likes nothing but beer! not my type. incredibly not my type."
"oh?" feeling bold, riki perches his chin in his palm with a smirk, inquiringly peering at yn. "what's your type then, yn?"
immediately he returns the energy. "hm... i dunno..." he acts like he's pondering the question, despite already having a response in mind. "maybe someone like y-"
"yn is that your lychee jelly in the kitchen, 'cause otherwise i'm eating it."
kuli sticks his head im from the doorway of the jack-and-jill bathroom they share, and the moment's over as fast as it began. distracted, yn tears his gaze from niki's upon remembering his prized bucket of sweets he'd left. "touch my snacks and you're fucking dead. be right back," he excuses himself with a quick reassurance, and with that leaves two of his closest friends with each other.
kuli rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, leaning against the doorframe. "i interrupted something, didn't i."
"if you count arguing over who to go for in stardew valley, then yeah."
the corner of his lip quirks upward. "the correct answer is anyone but shane."
"...he can't be that bad."
"what- he's a raging cunt and likes nothing but beer!"
kuli's surprisingly the only other member of yn's group thar riki really got more acquainted with since being introduced. despite the amount of warnings about how "scary" he could be, kuli was the most friendly and welcoming toward him, especially when they first met. he kinda reminds niki of jungwon, to be honest (especially with the fear factor that plays into both's roles).
it definitely isn't that he doesn't like the remaining two. he just doesn't get the chance to talk to ivory a lot, and with chaeri... it's a little weird. ever since he dropped an absolute bomb with that "no repeat of last time" and conveniently forgot to elaborate, they haven't had much of a conversation. half of riki is tempted to ask about it, but the other half feels like it'd be an invasion of privacy on yn's part. it worries him from time to time, but he figures that if he hasn't been given the entire story then it isn't that important, right?
(oh how wrong he is.)
niki's mouth stretches into a satisfying yawn. it's past 11:30 by now, and he knows he's supposed to wake up early, but he refuses to be the first one to sleep. kuli laughs at him as he shakes himself awake. "just go to bed if you're tired, dude."
"i'm not tired."
"trying to hold out for longer, i see. how sweet!"
"you shut up."
"yeah, shut up." yn grins as he returns with a giant container of jellies and a white loaf in his arms, shoving kuli out of his bedroom as the older laughs and shutting the door. he moves to sit back on his mattress as the loaf jumps onto his head, giggling quietly at riki's sleepy blinking. "does kiki need his nappy wappy-"
"fuck offfffff." he mumbles, tired eyes lighting up once he hears a meow from the loaf. "is that... you have a cat?!"
"ki, i literally showed you him last night."
"...no you didn't." yn heaves a sigh, peeling his chubby pet from his hair and bundling him in his arms. "he looks like a dumpling."
"which is exactly why i named him mandu." he cracks a smile. "let me guess. stupid and unoriginal?"
well, to anyone else niki might laugh and say it's stupid and unoriginal, but this is yn we're talking about here. plus, simping aside, the name really does fit said cat. "no, i like it. it's very, very um... " he struggles to think of a word. "...food-related?"
"you need sleep."
"leave me alone, i don't wanna end the call and if i bring my phone back into the room sunoo'll never shut up and you know how annoying he gets."
"i'm telling him you said that." heeseung grins as he walks by. "night yn!"
"night heeseung!"
"don't you dare-"
riki tries to stand up from the couch, only for his knees to give out after being curled up on them for so long. yn unleashes a high-pitched cackle, and heeseung takes off to his room.
their night ends shortly after this, with both falling asleep within mere minutes (though not without a brief twitter login on both parts). however, as usual, the phone stays on for hours, even as they slumber.

you blink awake, sunlight pouring into your room through the blinds. sighing, you lean over to check the time. 11:43. you sigh, sitting up to stretch and glancing next to you. niki is still asleep, occasionally slightly twitching from his dream. you smile, hand ghosting against his jawline before you lean down to press a kiss against his nose. he stirs slightly but doesn't wake up, relaxing back into the pillows.
you pull the covers off and quietly get out of bed. grabbing a hoodie from the floor, you head to the kitchen to begin making breakfast. as you're preparing the food, two arms wrap around your waist and a familiar vanilla scent fills the room.
"is this my hoodie?" niki's voice is deeper and raspier from sleep.
"i guess so." you murmur, continuing to mix the batter. behind you, niki laughs, leaning to press a kiss to your shoulder.
"what time is it?" he asks. he doesn't move from his spot from behind you.
"almost noon." niki hums, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "waffles?" you nod. "wow, letting me sleep in and making me breakfast? i have the best boyfriend ever~"
you laugh, turning around to face him. "i think you've won that title." niki laughs, leaning down and pulling you into a quick kiss.
"i disagree," he murmurs. "it's definitely you."
💜 DAY 6 OF MONSTER WEEK — MERMAID NIKI
[900+ words]
[Gender-neutral]
Description: You're a pirate and while you're plundering some loot, you come across a mermaid.
[Read the rest under the cut]
Since you can remember, all you've known is the sea. You were born on a pirate ship during the worst storm your parents have ever sailed through. Cradled roughly in its waves, you never cried even when the saltwater mist burned everyone's eyes.
Your mothers said that your third mother was the sea, just as she was the mother to every pirate who sought refuge in her tides. When your mothers retired from their captain and first-mate position, they left the ship and crew to you and your first mate, Wilbur.
You are the youngest pirate, and especially the youngest captain, to ever grace the sea, and you bear that title with pride. You spend as little time on land as possible, finding it as unsettling as sea-sick people find the sea.
That's why it's almost ironic that the first time you met a mermaid face-to-face was on land. Somehow, two sea creatures (you proudly claim that title, thank you very much) managed to meet on land before in the sea, funny innit?
You had to stay on land longer than you'd've liked to get some ship repairs, which luckily your first mate was handaling for you, so you had lots of free time. Deciding for no real reason to explore, you had managed to wonder into a rather seedy looking nerighbourhood.
While walking you passed a certain house with expensive drapery framing the windows and you can instantly tell that whoever lives there is richer than they seem. And that in itself is a sign for some illegal happenins and it just so happens that your favourite people to steal from are fellow criminals.
You managed to pick the lock to the front door and within minutes you've managed to pick a good number of prime sellers to pocket. Someone opens up the door when you're heading down their basement so you take the opportunity to book it further down and that's when you come face to face with a mermaid.
"Do you need help?" Those were the first words you'd said to her after finding her locked in a fish tank in some poacher's home. The question was admittedly stupid, but you had just been caught mid-robbery and you're known to be "fish-brained" as Wilbur calls it.
She can't answer, or maybe you just can't hear her, but you pry the tank open anyways because you wouldn't be able to live with yourself it you left a fellow child of the sea to die. When the lid pops off, she uses impressive upper arm strength to pull herself up and knock the tank on its side. She looks at it and smacks her tail into it, shattering the class instnatly and leaving her with a curled lip, proudly smirking like she had won some battle.
You have only about three seconds to admire her very pretty coral-pink scales ad even more impressive arm muscles before the owner of the house you're robbing bursts through the door.
You're still holding the fish tank lid and waste no time in smacking him in the face with it, spreading the shattered glass across the floor.
The mermaids obvious strength is brought back to attention as she handstands her way towards the man. They groan, trying to gather their strength and sit up. Immediately her tails slams down on his back with a crack and she starts smacking the shit out of him with her tail until some of his teeth fall loose and you're sure he won't be able to walk the same again.
The mermaid looks over at you and thankfully recognizes an ally when she seas one. You prop the door open and offer a hand, unsure whether she'd like help going up the stairs or if she's capable of that too.
She accepts your help after a moment, though she doesn't seem the least bit threatened by you which us slightly insulting. You're out the house and standing by the ocean is a process that feels way too long. Although by your standards, any time away from the ocean is too long.
The mermaids slips into the sea and you waver her away with a smile.

Niki, the mermaid, ends up following your ship. She declined to talk to most of your crew but Wilbur did have some more luck, managing to learn her name even before you.
It's weird how quickly all of you had gotten used to her presence. Shexfelt a bit like a good luck charm too, since storms settled easier when she was around.
Today she swims circles around your boat, where you're stuck aimlessly floating as there's no air to guide the ship. Only very, very extreme heat.
"It's sweltering today," Niki says, fins creating a little wake in the water as they swished back and forth along the side of the ship. "The sun must really beat down up there. Especially when you're at the helm steering all day."
You prop one boot heavily atop the bulkhead, leaning one elbow on your knee to peer over the edge and into her sea foam eye's. "You know if you want me to go swimming with you and Wil, you really need to confirm whether or not you plan to drown me. Again."
"I never drowned you," Niki protests, elbowing Wilbur to agree with her. "But I would like you to swim with us, yes."
"Yeah, Cap," Wilbur nods, smiling mischievously. "Unless you're too chicken."
You narrow your eyes at Wilbur, "I know what you're doing and it won't work on me."
"I can't believe our darling Captain was such a scaredy cat," Wilbur taunts while staring you directly in the eyes, "Afraid of a little water."
"Alright that's it," You rip your shirt off, barely remembering to take your shoes off, before diving into the ocean. Wilbur cheers the entire time you fall and catches a mouthful of salt water.
"C'mon you little shit, I'll drown you and we'll see how you like it," You're smiling the entire time though. It's so much more natural being in the sea than even being on a boat. And it does help that you're with two of your favourite people.
