You were undressing, taking off the silk shirt you'd put on for your anniversary, rubbing off the eyeliner that Chan found attractive on you. At least the dinner was at home; you wouldn't have been able to handle the rejection of being stood up in public. Something in you told you to call him. But it was his duty as a boyfriend to remember your anniversary, right? You sighed as you looked in the mirror. You looked tired, when you had been very lively just a while ago. The dinner you made was already in the fridge. You had a slice of bread, not being able to stomach a full meal at the moment. You had texted him. But he didn't even see them. He was staying at the dorm, and you haven't seen him in four whole days.
There was the occasional video calls where he could barely keep his eyes open, but to you, it felt like he was doing it out of obligation. So you'd tell him to go to bed. He'd make sleepy promises about a date night, but you knew he wouldn't follow through. You understood his schedule, you were busy too. But you always made time for him. Maybe it was the exhaustion talking, or maybe the late hour, but you felt like you shouldn't make time for him anymore. Something petty in you snarled, telling you to let him initiate something for once. But you loved him, busy schedules and all. You've tried to talk to him about it before, but it would either end in him being too tired to talk, or making promises that would be thrown in the wind later.
Putting on a t-shirt and sweatpants, you went to bed. You couldn't sleep, though. You were tired of it, of not even being an afterthought. You tossed and turned, desperately chasing the sleep that was running faster than your mind. You've already counted hundreds of sheep, but no avail. You sat up, rubbing your eyes as you glanced at the clock.
He sighed. That was earlier than he thought it'd be when he checked the time as he was getting ready to leave. At least that was progress, right? He grabbed his water bottle and phone, leaving the studio and heading straight to the dorm. A small smile tugged at his lips despite his exhaustion when he heard his members' chatter once he got there. Jeongin looked up, gasping jokingly as he saw Chan enter.
"You're alive?" Seungmin deadpanned. Chan shook his head in faux exasperation as he put down his water bottle on the coffee table. "Surprising, I know."
"What's surprising is how your boyfriend still stays," Minho said, earning a smack on the bicep from a concerned Felix. Chan froze as he heard that. Was that something he could laugh off? It's not like Minho was wrong. "At this point, we spend more time with him than you do," Hyunjin piped up, looking up from his phone.
That…was true as well. Goddamnit. Chan clenched his fist, angry. Not at the members, but at himself. If you could make time, why didn't he? He wasn't that much busier than you. He opened his phone to check his messages. The lockscreen of you and him making a heart in the snow was crowded with notifications. From you, from his manager, from bubble, everything. Two missed calls from you as well.
"He's gonna be like, 'what boyfriend?'" That hit a bit too close to home. Chan was too focused on his phone to hear who exactly had said that, but it was probably Minho. He's the one who introduced you to him anyway. He opened your chat.
8:00 am - "Happy anniversary, channie 💖I love you so much."
Shit. It was your anniversary. And he forgot. Now it was 1:08 am. The next day.
9:00 pm - "You coming home?"
His heart drops as he grabs his keys and rushes out of the dorm, slamming the door shut behind him. Changbin looked startled. "Was that too far?" Minho rolled his eyes before glancing at the door. "He should learn to be a good boyfriend."
When he got home, you were in the kitchen—sitting on a stool with your laptop on the island. Guilt gnawed at his chest as he saw you look up at him when you heard the door open. You didn't say anything, just went back to typing. He walked over to you and sat on the stool next to you, wringing his hands as he thought of how to deal with this. He knew you had gone to work in the morning, and you'd still made dinner that you made him promise he'd be home for. He could see the trace of dark eyeliner in your waterline. You had dressed up for him. God, he felt like such an idiot.
"M/n…" he started, not really knowing how to continue. Your fingers stilled. A breath. And you continued typing.
"What?" It was cold, harsher than you meant for it to be. But you didn't care to change your tone. He winced at the sharpness in your voice that cut through him. He didn't blame you, though. You had every right to be hurt and disappointed, angry even. He deserved it. But he'll never deny it hurt. He opened his mouth to speak, but it was as if his words had a mind of their own, refusing to come out of fear. He rehearsed what he was going to say while in the car, but those words weren't enough, falling like leaves in the coldness emanating from you.
"I'm sorry." Not enough. Never enough. You were understanding, kind, fucking perfect sometimes. And all he could give you was a 'sorry'? He held back his tears as his mind screamed at him that he was even more inadequate than that apology. He didn't want to cry. Not now. He didn't want you to think he was doing it for sympathy. You'd never think that, he knew, but anger makes people act different.
A bitter chuckle left your lips at Chan's apology. How dare he show up late, not even on the day of your anniversary and say "I'm sorry"? Did he seriously think that was enough? You turned your head to look at him for the first time since he got home. He looked exhausted—skin dry and paler than usual, lips chapped, dark eyebags under eyes brimming with tears that you couldn't tell the cause for. Was he sorry, or were they tears of frustration and tiredness?
"Try again." The words were like venom. It sounded as if you'd throw him out if he gets it wrong. Maybe you would. He flinched at just how much pent up anger your voice was dripping with. You set your focus back on the screen, not letting yourself feel anything soft towards the man crying in front of you.
"I know I fucked up. I fucked up so bad." He tried to speak through his tears, wiping them away hastily. "I don’t… I don’t even know where to start," he choked out, his voice faltering with each word. "I’ve been so… selfish. So caught up in my own world that I didn’t even notice how much I was hurting you. How much I was making you feel… invisible." His hands reached out but he didn't dare to touch you. Not yet. "I should’ve been there, M/n. I should’ve remembered. I should’ve remembered us, and I should’ve been home with you tonight. You deserved that. You deserved better."
The tears spilled freely now, his hands shaking as they wiped at his cheeks, but they just kept coming. "I’m sorry," he whispered again, his voice trembling. "I’m sorry I made you feel unimportant. I’m sorry I didn’t make time for you when you’ve always made time for me. I… I was so blind, and now I feel like I’ve lost everything. You mean the world to me. And I… I don’t know how I let it get this bad."
You sighed, clenching your jaw in an attempt to fight back your own tears. They weren't from sadness. You'd buried that deep inside after too many instances of Chan being absent, of you being tossed aside. You didn’t meet his eyes, your focus unwavering on the screen in front of you. Your fingers continued to dance across the keyboard, an almost mechanical motion that didn’t seem to have any real meaning. You were so close but so far. He felt like he had to climb a wall and slay a beast to touch your heart now, to at least get you to glance at him.
"Did one of your members tell you to come? Were they the ones who told you it was our anniversary?" It stung. It wasn't completely false. If it wasn't for them, he would've just gone to bed. But he shook his head through tears.
"Wow, how nice of you, Chris. I didn't know you knew how to check messages." A part of you was guilty for adding onto his stress, but the bigger part was tired. You were tired of all this, and you weren't going to hold back. You were hurt, and you'd be damned if you don't show it.
"Baby, please.." He let out a choked sob. Every word from your mouth felt like daggers in his heart, and he'd willingly take them if it means you'd forgive him. "I love you, M/n. I love you more than anything. And I don’t deserve your forgiveness, I know that. But I need you to know how sorry I am. I don’t want to be the person who keeps letting you down. I don’t want to be the reason you feel unloved or unimportant. Because you are the most important thing to me, and I’ve been too blind to show you that."
"I don't want to be the most important, Chris. I just want to be important." You shut your laptop and turned to him, your eyes red-rimmed from holding back tears. "I understand that you're busy, but so am I. I have a demanding job, and a social life. I still make time for you! Is it that hard to show up for me?" You clenched your fist when you saw his eyes widen at that. You'd accidentally let that slip. You didn't want to be vulnerable right now. You wanted to at least be in control of this argument.
"M-M/n, you know it's not-" Did you really think you were hard to love? He catches himself thinking 'I'd do anything for you' and then bitterness floods his chest. He can't even show up to a dinner.
"Forget it," you gritted out, hand reaching out to open your laptop. He caught your wrist, looking up at you, begging with his eyes. "I can't just let it go, M/n. I fucked up. Please, let me make this right. Please."
"What are you even gonna do, huh? How long has it been since we ate something together, since we had a date? How long has it been since we've had sex? Forget all that, how long has it been since we last had a proper fucking conversation??", you spat, veins bulging in your neck as you seethe. "You haven't been doing shit! You promised me the first time you cancelled that you'd try your best to be here, and look where we are!" Your eyes were wide with anger, a tear slipping free from the chaos inside you. You never got angry. But this is too much for even you to handle. You couldn't be a patient saint anymore.
Your words were hitting Chan where it hurt. 'You're not enough,' his mind echoed. His words, desperate to prove himself, spilled past his lips like a flood even when his logic was telling him to listen. This was the longest conversation you've had in a while. "I'm trying, M/n-"
"I don't want to hear your bullshit right now. You don't get to tell me you're trying. If I can make time, so can you! I'm surprised you even remember I'm your boyfriend." The words felt like ash in your mouth. It was uncomfortable to say all this to the man you loved so much. But what choice were you left with?
He buried his face in his hands, unable to keep it together any longer. The tears came harder now, shaking his entire body. His heart was breaking into pieces as he thought about everything he had taken for granted. He had hurt the person he loved the most, and he didn't know if he could fix it. But he had to try. He would beg to just try. He would beg to be selfish just one more time, for you to stay.
"I don't know if I can keep going like this, Chris. Do your promises mean nothing to you? Do I mean nothing to you? You have to follow up on your words, you know that right? Why didn't you at least have the fucking decency to text me you wouldn't come home? At least then I know you remember I exist." Your anger wasn't a crashing storm, but venom. You didn't destroy everything in your way, just the target. Every second stings, every word burns, and you'd keep going. "I can't wait for you to decide if you want to show up. I can't just be there when it's convenient for you. I'm a fucking human with a goddamn life if you forgot."
He sobbed harder. He wanted to hug you, but he was scared. "I-I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, baby, p-please."
"We don't even feel real anymore." Straight to the heart. He stilled, your gazes locking. Did you mean that?
You didn’t say anything right away, but the way you looked at him—so tired, so hurt—spoke volumes. He could feel your heart breaking in the silence between you, and it tore him apart. He wanted to fix it, he wanted to make it stop, but he wasn’t sure if he could anymore. But if there was any chance, if there was even a sliver of hope that you might still want him, he would do whatever it takes to make it right. To make you feel real again, to make your love feel real again. "I’ll do anything," he whispered through his tears, his voice raw with desperation. "Anything to make you feel like this is real again. I’m so sorry. Please don’t give up on us. I’ll fight for us, if you’ll let me." His eyes stayed locked on yours, pleading, as he waited for you to say something—anything—that would tell him there was still a chance.
"You gave up on us first, Chan." You hadn't realised how tight you were gripping the fabric of your pants. You hadn't realised how tight your chest felt. Chan shakes his head slowly, going over to the sink to wash his face before sitting down on the floor, knees to his chest.
"I didn't give up, I swear." He sounded so small, so vulnerable. It had been so long since he was real with you. Sometimes, his persona would bleed into his interactions with you. You'd never mention it. But you'd always notice.
"Chan, get up." He looked at you, eyes wide and expectant as he stood up, walking over to you. You pulled him closer by the wrist so he was standing between your legs. He melted when your strong arms wrapped around him, nuzzling into your shoulder and reciprocating the action. "I'm sorry," he mumbled, holding you tight with the strength of his guilt. His love. Your lips pressed into his neck, breathing in his scent like fresh air after being deprived of it for so long. You kissed below his ear, hands sliding up his hoodie as you pulled him impossibly closer.
"I missed you, you know?" Your voice was soft. His heart ached. "I missed you too.."
You pulled away, taking in his features which had guilt written all over them. You brushed away a tear. "Don't cry anymore.." He nodded, leaning in. "Can I kiss you?" You smiled for the first time since he came home. You held his jaw with one hand, the other still on his back. Leaning in, you kissed him.
Your lips danced against each other, tongues tangling as you slid it past his lips. Lust replaced the oxygen he stole from your lungs as he gripped onto your hair, tilting your head to deepen the kiss. You kissed him like you were trying to swallow him whole, like you've forgotten the shape of his mouth and want to relearn it. When you broke away for air, he slid off your t-shirt and let his hands roam your torso, leaning in to kiss your neck. Hickeys bloomed on your skin like flowers that would soon turn out like rainclouds in the sky. His lips were doing what he couldn't do with words. His hand tugged down your sweatpants, wrapping around your cock and stroking it to life. You pulled back, kissing along his jawline and down his neck as you stood, caging him against the kitchen island. You took off his hoodie and kicked off your sweatpants that were pooled around your ankles now.
Capturing his lips in another searing kiss, one of your hands found their way into his shorts sliding past his underwear, middle and ring finger parting his soaked folds as you thumbed at his clit. He squirms, lips latching onto your pecs. "B-Baby.." You wrap a hand around his throat, forcing him to look at you as you press him against the island with your hips pressed together, your cock against his thigh. You slide a finger in, watching as he moans sweetly. Greedy, you kiss him again, drinking in his sounds as if that could quench your thirst.
"You're gonna make it up to me, okay? I'm gonna fuck you for as long as I waited for you." He whimpers, nodding as he bucked into your hand. You slid another finger in, kissing and nipping at his sensitive chest. You use your hands to prop him up on the counter and lift him up when he instinctively wraps his legs around you. Once in the bedroom, you wasted no time to toss him onto bed and climb in, pinning both his wrists above his head with your hand as the other—fingers still slick with his juices—slid down his torso. You spread his thighs wider with your hand, lips attacking his neck and fingers curling into his leaking pussy. "So wet for me, darling," you purred into his ear, the tips of your fingers meeting his g-spot as he cried out and shot his head to the side.
"P-Please.." He sounded so fucking pretty. His moans were music, melodious and sweet. It always sounded better when he was begging. "Such a mess already, baby? I've barely done anything." There was a smirk on your lips. A proud, possessive one. He was yours. "But go ahead and finish your sentence for me. Please, what?"
"Want your cock.." You chuckled, your fingers curling cruelly as he clenched around you. "You don't get to be so impatient right now, lovely…just wait for a tiny bit, 'kay?" He nodded, gasping as his orgasm approached, looming over him like a shadow that will only be extinguished if you decide to. You kiss him. Again. Sloppy and passionate, not caring about anything else except etching into your mind the feeling of his lips against yours. You pulled away, only to hear his moans as he came onto your fingers. He was so pent-up. It was adorable. You pull your fingers out, bringing them to your sensuous lips as you suck them clean, holding eye contact. His face flushed a bit more than before. It wasn't something new—seeing you do things like this—but god, did it send him reeling every single time.
You let go of his hands and moved your head down to his pussy that was dripping with cum and arousal, not being able to resist such a delicious little treat. "Such a pretty little cunt~" You smirked, practically making out with his now sensitive pussy while his hips buck into your face, unconsciously or not, you didn't care. Your tongue swirled inside, tasting his sweetness, nose rubbing at his swollen clit. Your cock throbbed—red, angry, and aching for his warm heat. His hands gripped your hair and shoulder, trying to anchor himself in the storm of your lust. He could never get enough when you were like this. When you were insatiable, taking and taking. When you fucked him like you owned him. Already sensitive, he felt another orgasm approaching. You noticed too, how his pussy clenched around your tongue as if it wants to rip it out and keep it there forever. You pulled away, smirking at his whine. At his pouty lips, his face that was contorted in pleasure and disappointment from you pulling away.
"Said you wanted my cock, right?" You growled into his ear, positioning your dick at his entrance which was now clenching around air. You buried yourself in him in a single thrust, gripping his hips with both hands hard enough to bruise as you threw your head back, groaning in pleasure. He gripped you like a vice, trying to push you deeper into his inviting warmth. Eager. Desperate. You began to thrust, slowly pulling out and pushing back in. Just to tease him. You knew he'd be crying, begging for more. He gasped, hands fluttering uselessly over your body, trying to grab on somewhere. The tip of your cock kissed his sweet spot with every thrust, stretching him wide around your shaft. He writhed under you, hands finally finding purchase on your shoulder and bicep as he pushed back against each thrust.
"H-Harder, please…" He was so polite. Always. Even in bed. You chuckled, the sound morphing into a shaky moan as you thrusted particularly hard, headboard hitting the wall. "Like that?" His attempt at speaking just dissolved into words as he let go of whatever semblance of composure he had left. You always make him lose his fucking mind. Your hands, mouth, cock, everything just conspired against him, attacking him, leaving him breathless. You picked up your pace, grabbing one of his legs and putting it over your shoulder, every ounce of gentleness leaving your body. He asked for hard, you'd give him hard. He hears you say something, distorted as his eyes roll back and mouth gapes open, tears staining the bedsheet. You tried to speak, to act all cocky as if you weren't losing your mind with his tight little cunt gripping you like that. All that comes out are grunts and groans, occasional winces as his nails scrape against your skin.
"Y-You're so fucking tight, god, fuck." You didn't know what you were saying, for the entire world was reduced to his warmth around you. He couldn't feel anything but you rutting into him. He couldn't feel the bruising grip on his hips, and he could barely register you biting his neck—teeth dragging along his heated skin before sinking in, biting hard and just shy of drawing blood. Your tongue slipped out, licking up his neck before leaving open-mouthed kisses along his jaw, moving to nip at his ear, nose buried in his hair. Each buck of your hips knock the air out of him. He swears he could feel you in his damn throat. Your grip on his thigh tightens, your thrusts growing erratic as your orgasm rushes close. "'M close. You gonna come for me, baby?", you growl into his ear, the question met with desperate nods by Chan who was rendered speechless.
His pussy fluttered around you, body writhing as he came undone yet again, coating your length with his release. You groaned into his ear, burying yourself completely inside, balls hitting his ass and drawing up as your climax neared. He was overstimulated—panting under you, toes curling, cries tearing out of his throat—as you came deep inside him, warmth flooding his insides as his vision blurred, body going limp onto the bed. You didn't pull out, instead thrusting shallowly, taking in every inch of his pleasured- no, destroyed expression. You lean down, breath fanning against his lips as you thrust again, forcing him to open his eyes.
"I'm not done yet, pretty."
