he's such a pretty princess😍💅👑✨

paging dr. heartthrob | lee chan

You slam your textbook shut. You don’t think you can reread the same page about neurotransmitters and synaptic transmissions any longer without losing your mind for the third time that night. 

Your head feels like it’s two seconds away from combusting, and the pressure coming from upcoming exams, assignments that are constantly due the very next day, along with endless clinicals is suffocating. You’ve been staring at this textbook for what feels like hours or even days, but nothing’s sticking. It’s as if your brain has reached its limit for the day, and you’re left grasping for focus that you can’t find.

this is genuinely one of the best things ive ever read. good lord, the plot? the angst? THE KISS SCENE????

i'm going to sob thank u so much !!! that means so much to me to hear 🥺🥺

ughhhh the angst hit too close to home😔😔i need a chan in my lifeeeee ALSO THAT KISS SCENE IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE OML I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MORE PERFECT KISS SCENE

⠀⠀⠀⠀최한솔⠀⠀⠀⠀───⠀⠀⠀⠀WHITE TEE⠀⠀⠀

White tee, jeans, a pair of socks and a beanie has always been Vernon's default outfit on your dates sometimes. Sometimes, if he wanted to put something extra then he throws on a jacket and call it a day.

You wanted him to be comfortable with everything he does, even if it's just clothing. But today, you wished that he would dress up something different. Not just white t-shirt and a beanie.

Vernon knows that today is Valentine's day. So he thought of putting on a different outfit this time. not the usual outfit he does, but something more special

joshua pulls a fresh tray of heart-shaped cookies from the oven, moving behind you to set them down. the oven door clicks when you open it again a second later to slide another batch in, turning to see the way he snags one off of a plate (already cooked, thankfully) with a cheeky grin. he can get one: it's roommate privilege. besides, all of these are just for your friends. you'll ice them, bag them, and then he'll pretend to be annoyed at the idea of helping you deliver them while carrying your bag like the gentleman he insists on being.

"careful, hong," you hum, moving to smush the rest of the dough back into a ball to roll out again. "keep looking at me like that, and i'm gonna start thinking you might be in love with me."

"wouldn't want that, would we?" he sits at the counter, watching you work. there's a burst of vanilla on his tongue as he takes a bite, and he pretends he's not falling a little further in love with you as he watches you work. you're just two single roommates on valentine's day, baking heart-shaped cookies together for your friend. he just smiles to himself as he watches you throw yourself into this.

"i think it'd be an honor, actually," you say to yourself, "god knows you treat me better than my ex-boyfriends."

"careful," he says, pointing the end of his half-eaten cookie at you. "or i'm going to think that you're in love with me."

for a moment, you meet his eyes with this playful smile. but neither of you speak. you just roll your eyes a second later, call him a dork, and carefully roll out the remainder of the cookie dough. all he can do is just smile at you, admiring you a little further.

are you? he almost wants to ask. to challenge you in that cute way you challenge him over the silliest things sometime. but he doesn't: not now.

if joshua is going to confess to you sometime soon, he is not doing to be a cliche and do it on valentine's day. after midnight, though... that'll be fair game.

(if you don't beat him to it, first, that is.)

── ‘coming home to your two reasons of happiness’

The tiny and adorable noises of your ten months old over-enthusiastic baby, Haeun, ringed throughout the house, followed by your sweet husband’s cooes who was likely panicking inside at the sight of the energized baby. It was never easy to control a baby that was ready to throw things in excitement.

magical

w.c: 1k fluff, both are in their 30s, friends who spent many years apart

Being home for Christmas was something Johnny always made a point to do. When he said "home," he didn’t mean the apartment he had in downtown Chicago but rather his parents’ house, where he had spent his childhood and teenage years before heading off to a university on the other side of the world.

Beyond the incredible memories he had created with his parents, that house held reminders of moments he had shared with the person he missed the most: you.

You and Johnny grew up together. It was amazing to think that you had been by each other’s side during practically every stage of life. Those moments ranged from playing together at the park when you were five to getting drunk for the first time in Johnny’s backyard at sixteen. He still remembered how both of you got scolded by your parents that night.

It was impossible for Johnny to be home at Christmas and not think of you, especially since it was your favorite time of the year. Being practically part of the family, you were always present at the Suh family’s Christmas celebrations. You always said, “Everything feels more magical with Johnny around.”

Thirteen years had passed since Johnny had moved to Korea and you had gone to Brazil, yet he still wondered how you were doing. Did you still find Christmas magical even being so far from him?

His thoughts were interrupted when his mom asked him to help her bake the cookies you both loved so much.

"Ah, we need to make more because we’re having a guest over tonight."

Dinner time was approaching. Johnny was helping his mom with the final preparations, but he couldn’t help noticing her unusual behavior. She seemed nervous about this mysterious "guest." The doorbell rang, and Johnny’s mom quickly asked him to answer it, claiming she was too busy.

He went to the door and couldn’t believe his eyes.

You were standing there, visibly nervous, but with a smile that had stayed in his mind for more than ten years. You still remembered the girl who had been his partner in crime, but he couldn’t ignore how much you had changed. You had grown into a woman, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was sure his expression was funny because as soon as you saw him, you let out a little laugh.

"I’m not a ghost, I swear. Merry Christmas!" "Y-you’re the guest my mom was talking about?" "Well, I think so. But please, can I come in? It’s freezing out here."

As soon as you stepped inside, Johnny pulled you into a tight, lingering hug. The warmth of his embrace melted you, filling you with a sense of "home" that settled deep in your body and heart.

Dinner was amazing. His parents and you spent hours talking and remembering about the funniest moments from past years. Afterward, Johnny invited you to the backyard to share the wine you had brought, remembering the old times.

"Wow, being here brings back so many memories…" you said, sighing as a wave of sweet nostalgia washed over you. You smiled, thinking about all the good times you’d had with Johnny. "Remember when your mom caught us drinking?" "How could I forget? It was the worst scolding of my life. The funny thing is, my mom was more worried about you." "Your mom is the best!"

The laughter faded as the two of you turned your attention to the Christmas lights decorating the house.

"I missed you so much."

Your focus shifted from the twinkling lights to Johnny, whose gaze remained fixed on them.

"All these years, I kept wondering how you were, if you thought of me the same way I thought of you, if you still remembered our goodbye kiss…" Johnny said with a sheepish smile, finally looking at you.

You stared back, a mix of surprise and admiration filling your expression. He had been thinking of you all this time. You remembered that kiss as well. It was your first and last kiss with Johnny. You were just teenagers then, friends whose feelings had finally come to light, revealing something deeper than mere friendship.

"I thought about you a lot too… and about that kiss. Too bad it was already too late back then." "It’s never too late to tell someone you love them," Johnny said, stepping closer.

He gently tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear before resting his hand on the back of your neck.

"And I still love you."

When Johnny’s lips met yours, it felt as if you had been transported back to that first kiss, but this time, there was no rush. As your tongues intertwined, a warmth spread between you, banishing the chill of the Christmas night.

The need for air eventually pulled you apart, but you stayed in Johnny’s arms. He smiled, mesmerized by the redness of your lips after the kiss. You stared at each other for a moment, the silence speaking volumes about what you both felt.

"John," you whispered.

He had missed the way you said his name.

"Thank you for reminding me that Christmas is still magical when I’m with you."

You kissed him again, slowly, savoring every second. Johnny’s hands held your waist firmly as you leaned on his shoulders, basking in his warmth.

He broke the kiss with a laugh, leaving you confused.

"What’s so funny?"

"Looks like someone is very happy about our kiss," he said, nodding toward the window.

You turned to see Johnny’s mom celebrating with a little dance—one you both thought was ridiculous—but you couldn’t help laughing at her enthusiasm.

"Something tells me she planned all of this. I’ll have to remember to thank her." "So…" Johnny said, pulling your attention back to him. His gaze was deep, fixed on yours. "What happens now?"

"John, loving you was never a choice, it was always a certainty. I have no doubts about how I feel for you. Let’s see where this takes us. But for now, why don’t you give me another kiss? You know, it’s freezing out here…"

It was heartwarming to see how happiness radiated from Johnny. He was sure this was the most magical Christmas of all—because now you were back in his life, and he wasn’t letting you go.

[4:47 am]

(cw: wife!reader)

CEO!Johnny had been mad since the second he heard about this early meeting. That was a week ago. Well, not mad, more like pouty. For a few months now he’d gotten used to going into the office a little later so that he could have his mornings with you. Nothing too crazy, just a half hour later, but after all the hard work he’d put in for the company, he felt he deserved the half hour with his wife. The mornings were blissful, waking up and cuddling with you. Following that up with coffee and breakfast together and bidding each other goodbye with a kiss before heading in your respective directions.

But today, today felt like hell. He was up before the sun was coming up, waking up while bakers were still baking for the morning rush, while children were still fast asleep and in dreamland before going to school. Getting ready before you were even thinking about waking up. Hell, you were deep in rem sleep right now.

A part of him wanted to be selfish and wake you up. At the very least, to have your company. He wouldn’t force you out of the warmth of your shared bed. He just missed you… and today would be a long day. Going in early to talk to overseas investors and spending the rest of the day finalizing reports for the end of the quarter. He was already tired of it all.

Johnny dragged his feet while he sipped his coffee and willed the caffeine to kick in. He was bone tired. He had even stolen some of your under eye patches to help with the puffiness under his eyes. He sighed tiredly, tying his tie and fixed his hair one last time.

He turned off the light in the bathroom and padded across the bedroom to your sleeping form. He pressed a kiss to your forehead whispering a quiet, “have a good day, baby.”

He wishes he could say he felt accomplished since he had been awake so early and working almost as long. He talked to the investors, he got a lot of paperwork done, and he drank a lot of coffee. And still he didn’t feel good knowing his soft mornings with his wife had been torn away.

So it came it as no surprise when your FaceTime call came in at your usual wake up and get ready hour. He smiled brightly as his thumb slid across the screen to answer your call. He was met with your pouty face surrounded with the white sheets of your shared bed, “you didn’t wake me up.”

Johnny laughs, “baby, it was like 5 in the morning! Good morning though, how are you?”

“I dunno,” you grumble, “my husband doesn’t love me so…”

Johnny chuckles softly, slumping back in his very expensive desk chair, “I do love you. I love you so much that I didn’t interrupt your sleep. I did consider it though.”

“If you really loved me you’d have woken me up,” you argue playfully.

“I think you’ll love me when you see what I left you in the kitchen,” Johnny tells you, lifting his brows with a smirk.

He watches you move through the halls, hair messy and free. He watches your eyes light up when you saw the surprise he’d left for you. “Breakfast and coffee. Wow, I guess you do love me,” you tease, “thank you though, baby. I appreciate it.”

“I think you’ll also be happy to know that I’ll be home early today. I haven’t told anyone yet, but I will be. I deserve it after waking up at 4 in the morning."

"I don't think your secretary would approve of that," you chide, arching your brow a him through the camera.

"Well, she wasn't here at 5 in the morning was she? Plus, she'll like it when she gets to go home early too," Johnny yawns, "I'll pick up dinner on the way home, baby. Have a good day. You off to work?"

You shake your head with a smile, "nope, took the day off. I'll see you later. I love you."

"I love you too," Johnny responds before hanging up. Damn, he should have taken the day off too, especially since his CFO was more than capable of doing this on their own. He drags a tired hand down his face, he was definitely going to put in for a long vacation and it you off to some resort where you both could spend the whole day in bed if you wanted to.

best gift ever - lee taeyong

wc: 2.2k

summary: bsf!taeyong gives you the best gift you could ever ask for ‎♡

warnings: fluff, i definitely did not proofread this, doyoung cameo, f2l, taeyong is so cutie so biteable, fem!reader (as always), i tried keeping the holiday vague so if u see any mention of christmas lmk so it can be changed!

an: I LOVE BUBU !!! also as a hispanic person i celebrate early so im posting this on my christmas eve :333 happy holidays everyone !!!

───── ⋆⋅ ⊹ ⁺ 𐔌 ᩧ ຼ ͡ ৯ ♡໒⁀ ᩧຼ ꒱ིྀ ⁺ ⊹ ⋅⋆ ─────

bsf!taeyong who is absolutely smitten.

thinking about writer!joshua who constantly goes to this cafe to watch people, observing their behaviors, their moments.

he somehow crosses paths with you, who every now and then stop by the same cafe to grab a slice of your favorite cake, maybe take your time to read or even attend an important call from work.

it's not that he's instantly in love with you - as a writer, joshua is a very romantic man, but he also knows that love doesn't come easily; he doesn't believe you can love someone just by looking at them, but rather fully trusts that the heart can somehow sense that said person will be important to you, pulling you towards them like magnets.

so yeah, joshua feels attracted to you, curious about your preferences (why your coffee order always changes?), about your job, about the things that make you smile. he writes about you on his notebook, allowing himself to use some of your traces on the new character he's working on.

and when he finally builds the courage to talk to you one evening, introducing himself and asking if he can sit with you, brown notebook under his arm and a cup of hot cinnamon mocchiatto in his hand, you can't deny that you feel the same magnetic pull.

Happy tears

pairing: Baekhyun x reader

genres: fluff, boyfriend! Baekhyun, taking care of his girl during her periods (I know worst desc ever)

inspiration: everything

I blink my eyes in a haze unable to register anything as sleep is pulling me back into its cradle. But the sharp menstrual cramp jolts me awake, I pull my knees up trying to sleep in a new position so the pain can ease a little. My knees hit something hard and someone groans at my ear. 

A hand slips under my shirt, pressing on my lower stomach. “How are you feeling?” Baekhyun asks. 

I snap my eyes open hearing his voice. He is here, in my room, on a Thursday morning instead of being at his work. His droopy eyes watch me in concern, his hand rubbing my stomach in a feather-like touch, tenderly and gently. His lips parted slightly as he breathe, his long strands of hair falling to the side onto my pillow. 

AREN’T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?

𐚁₊⊹

It was a ritual, every morning, that you and your husband exchanged a goodbye kiss by the door before leaving for work. Today, however, you had a different plan. Soonyoung was never the one to miss no matter how mad he would be at you, but you wanted to test how he’d react if you did.

As you stood in the entryway, Soonyoung leaned in for your usual goodbye kiss. His eyes were soft and lips curved into a faint smile. He tilted his head slightly and expected you to respond. But before he could close the distance, you turned abruptly and grabbed your bag from the counter.

“Bye babe!” you chirped. You waved over your shoulder without a second glance, and your heels clicked against the floor as you darted out the door.

Soonyoung froze, his lips still slightly puckered, blinking in confusion. “Huh?” he muttered as his brows knitted together.

Slowly, he lowered his head, and the warmth of his usual smile was replaced with a bewildered frown. He stood rooted in place as he stared at the door you just breezed through. He tried to comprehend what just happened.

You, on the other hand, were already halfway down the driveway, giggling under your breath. You could barely contain yourself as you glanced back at the front door to see if Soonyoung had moved. When he didn’t appear immediately, your laughter spilled out in full.

You thought you had gotten away with it — until you heard the sound of the door opening behind you.

“Y/n!” your husband’s firm voice rang out, but you could detect a playful edge in his tone at the same time. Your giggles turned into an outright cackle as you picked up your pace to run towards your car.

“You’re not leaving me like that!” he called after you, and you could hear his footsteps thundering down the driveway.

You turned your head mid-sprint, your long wavy hair bouncing with every step, and saw Soonyoung hot on your heels. His tie flapped against his chest as he ran. “Catch me if you can!” you teased, sounding breathless with laughter.

Soonyoung grinned as his earlier confusion melted into amusement. “Oh, don’t worry, I will!”

In just a few strides, he closed the gap between you. You squealed as Soonyoung wrapped his arms around your waist and spun you around like a victorious hunter capturing his prey.

“You thought you could just skip our kiss and get away with it?” he asked, his voice mock-stern, though his grin said something else.

“Maybe!” you continued to tease, still laughing as you wriggled in his grasp. Soonyoung shook his head and pulled you closer.

“Nice try.” Then, without waiting for your permission, he leaned in and planted a kiss squarely on your lips, leaving you breathless in a completely different way.

As he set you down gently, your cheeks flushed. “Fine, you win” you admitted with a smile.

Soonyoung smirked, smoothing his tie, “you should know by now, I always do.”
