Your Wish Is My Command

Original? forget that [Chen]

Requested by anon 



It was like any other Friday night in Exo M’s dorm. The boys couldn’t go out since they were preparing for a comeback and with their new hairstyles, they had to keep a low profile. You lay comfortably in Chen’s bed and scrolled through tumblr tags. It was not long ago you found out about this interesting website where fan girls posted scenarios and lots of other strange things that you didn’t quite understand. At first you were a little freaked out about the stories but later you began to enjoy them. It was surprising to you that many got the members’ personalities just right. Scenarios about Chen always made you laugh hysterically because he was nothing like that in real life. Last time you and him did something fun together was never. He either never had time or was always tired. Sometimes you felt sad on the inside because you really did want him to show that he cared about you.

“Are you going to stay here tonight?” Chen asked entering the room. You looked at the clock. It was almost midnight.

“Oh wow! I lost track of time,” you replied. You began to get out of bed but instead he came and seated himself beside you.

“What were you doing?” he asked taking the tablet from you.

“Oh nothing,” you pulled it back. Chen looked at you weird. You smiled and pushed him back slightly.

“I’ll leave in a bit. I’m hungry right now so I’ll go make myself something,” you said.

“Okay then make me something too,” he asked as you left the room.

************************************************************

You got busy in the kitchen making sandwiches and ramen. Tao came and offered to help but last time he cooked, it was a complete disaster. You by any means did not want to go down that lane again. After finishing making the food and offering it to all the other members, you casually walked back to the room. Chen was laying awkwardly in bed, his back facing you.

“I made ramen and sandwiches,” you announced.

“That’s a weird combination,” he said turning around. As he did, you saw the tablet in his hand. Your heart sank immediately. You tried to remember if you had exited out of all the tabs.

Chen got out of bed and picked up a sandwich from your plate. “Let’s go out somewhere,” he said taking a big bite of the sandwich.

“Out? At this time? It’s really late and besides you guys aren’t even allowed to do that,” you said shaking your head while squinting your eyes. You looked quite comical. Chen bit his lip and then gave you a quick peck on the cheek.

“Don’t worry about it,” he whispered. He took the plate from you and placed it on the night stand. “Let’s go.”

You didn’t say a single word and let him drag you out of the dorm. It was because you were still in a shock upon receiving the unexpected kiss.

************************************************

“Nothing’s going to be open at this time you know,” you said while the two of you walked on a narrow unknown street.

“I know a place that it. You’ll like it,” he said.

The two of you stopped in front of a small bubble tea shop. The lights inside were so dim, you couldn’t even tell if the store was open. Chen walked inside hand in hand with you.

“Jongdae ah,” the old lady said happily. “You haven’t come here in a long time.”

“I know that’s why I came tonight. And look who I brought along,” he said pushing you forward. “You wanted to see her right?” he asked the old lady.

“Ahh she is pretty. Prettier than you’ve described her to be,” the lady winked at you. You had no idea what was going on but the fact that Chen had mentioned you to this old lady made you blush. He wasn’t so unromantic after all. The old lady came forward and pulled your cheeks.

“Does he take care of you?” she asked. You nodded your head and then looked at Chen. He had a proud smile planted on his face.

“So,” she said and clapped her hands. “What can I get for you two today?”

“The usual,” he said. “And she will take the same.”

“Oh you!,” she hit him. “Let her choose for herself.”

You giggled at your boyfriend getting spanked. “No it’s okay. I’ll take what he is taking.”

“Seeeee!” Chen cried rubbing his arm while you couldn’t contain your laugh.

After getting your bubble tea the two of you settled in a small corner. In your 1 year relationship it was probably the third time the two of you were spending time like that – all by yourselves. Usually it was with all the members and the other times Chen was too lazy to come up with good places to hang out at.

“So now can I ask you why you did all this?” you asked. “You’ve got to say, it was pretty surprising coming from you.”

“What?” he opened his eyes wide. “We usually do this don’t we?”

“No oppa. We don’t,” you pouted.

“I was kidding,” he said and held your hand. “And I’m sorry.”

“For what?” you asked.

“For being so aloof.”

You wanted to say something in return and try to make him feel better but you realized you had nothing to say. It was a good thing he was apologizing.

*******************************************************

The two of you said your goodbyes to the kind old lady and began walking home. The unanswered question from earlier was still bothering you though.

“You didn’t answer my question,” you said.

“What question?” he asked.

“Why all of this all of a…,” you stopped half way through and realized something. It had just then hit you that whatever Chen did was the exact same thing the Chen from the scenario you were reading, did for his girlfriend. “O oh,” you covered your mouth in embarrassment. “Did you?…”

“Yep,” he said nodding his head with a mischievous smile.  “I didn’t know you were so naughty.”

“Aish,” you hit him lightly.”I am so embarrassed. Why did you do that?” you cried. You had never felt more stupid in your entire life. What must he be thinking of you?

 Instead of mocking you like he always did, Chen held your hand and then pulled you into a hug. He then lifted his other hand to remove the strands of your hair from your face. He was doing exactly what was in the scenario. He cupped your cheeks and then planted a beautiful kiss on your lips. You could feel him smiling. You were smiling too.

“I’ll try to be more original next time,” he said when he pulled away. All you could do was to return it with an approving smile. Chen held your hand tightly as the two of you walked back home in the soothing silence of the night. Nothing needed to be said anymore.

___________________________________________________________________

So instead of making this scenario about a troll Chen I wrote it about a romantic Chen and yes I did drift away from the topic a little bit but it didn’t come out that bad now did it? I hope ya’ll like it. It’s short and sweet.

He’s a keeper [Chen]

Requested by anon  



Your eyes were fixed on the computer screen but your mind was elsewhere. You forced yourself to think of other things but the image of that double layered chocolate cake with vanilla icing and fudge wouldn’t let you think of anything else.  It was as if you could taste it in your mouth. You had gotten really mad your mom for bringing it in the night before but ever since she left that’s all you had been eating.  

No it’s bad for me. I shouldn’t eat it. But it’s so good though…Uh..,’ – your thoughts were killing you. The saliva in your mouth was teasing you. You couldn’t even concentrate on your anime and that never ever happened.

“Aigoooo,” you cried and jumped off of the couch. You pulled the half eaten cake out of the fridge along with the big table spoon and looked at it with devouring eyes. There was no stopping you. The only way to get rid of the thoughts about the cake was to get rid of it. You were going to do that by guzzling it down without feeling even a tad bit guilty.

You licked the spoon three times before finally putting it away. It had taken you almost thirty minutes to finish the huge piece. Just then you almost jumped when you heard someone knock at the door.

“Who is it?” you asked throwing the dishes in the sink and pouring water on them. There was no response, since the person obviously couldn’t hear you. You looked in the mirror to clean your face and then gargled twice before running to the door.

“What took you so long to open the door?” Chen asked with his usual sassy face.

“I was in the room,” you lied.

“Oh, alright forget that. I was wondering if we could go out for dinner. I’m starving.”

“Didn’t you eat with the boys? It’s Friday night.”

“Yeah but I always eat with them on Friday nights. I wanted to eat with you tonight.”

“So what do you want to eat? “

“Anything you want to.”

“Aaa I’m actually full but I can make you some miso soup.”

“Don’t you want to go out?”

“Can’t we just stay in? I don’t feel like eating,” you whined.

“_________ you barely ever eat. Don’t do this to yourself,” he said sliding his hands around your waist and pulling you closer. That was a pretty brave move for a three month relationship but you let him. After all you had to take baby steps and he had just taken one.

“Look at your waist. I feel like I can hold it with one hand.”

“I do eat,” you pouted.  Chen wasn’t really wrong. You ate a lot, he just never saw you. You didn’t want him to see the uncivilized side of you when you ate. You knew he would run away into the wild and vow to never come back.

“Okay but do you want to come with me so I don’t feel lonely.”

“Of course,” you replied and grabbed his arm, girlfriend style. He smiled at you as the two of you walked out the door.

*********************************************************

 The same thing happened at the party he took you a few days later and then the lunch after that. You were hesitant to eat in front of him because you knew you would go all out. You did eat but very little and then later ordered something for yourself when you were alone.

“Hey are you at home?” he asked you over the phone.

“Ye,” you mumbled concentrating on your anime.

“Okay then open the door. I’m standing outside.”

“What!,” you cried in surprise.

“Yeah, now  open the door,” he said impatiently. “I need to pee.”

“Ah eww, keep the details to yourself,” you said walking to the door.

“Mooooove,” Chen pushed you to the side and off he went, running to the bathroom as soon as you opened the door.  You held your stomach and laughed for a good minute.

“What?” he asked walking out of the bathroom.

“Your face,” you said still laughing uncontrollably. “When you were running.”

“Okay okay,” he held your arm and walked you to the couch. He looked more serious than usual.  Your heart sank a little bit but you felt his grip tighten on your hand. He couldn’t be breaking up with you. Everything was just fine between you guys.

“What’s wrong,” you asked hesitantly.

“_________ I know you won’t be able to understand what I’m trying to say. I did some research last night and usually patients who suffer from such disorders are in a state of denial.”

“Patient? Disorder? What are you talking about?” you cried, pulling your hand out of his.

“__________, ________ listen to me,” he held your hands once again. “Hear me out okay?”

You wanted to say a lot but his glare completely shut you up.

“I’ve seen the way you eat. In fact I’ve seen the way you never eat. I am sure your weight is below average. I just want you to know that you don’t have to do all of this. I like you just the way you are. You don’t have to try to become skinny.”

His words weren’t reaching your brain until he said the last word. You didn’t know if you were mad or you just wanted to laugh. A few moments passed and you realized that you definitely wanted to do the latter. Chen was so adorable. How could he even possibly think of all these things? You wanted to hug and shower him with kisses but you knew it was too early for that.  

“ So what do you think I have?” you asked, obviously very amused.

“You’re anorexic,” he said furrowing his eyebrows.

“What?” you began laughing.  “Why would you ever think that?”

“Because you never eat.. and why are you laughing?” He shook his head.

“Oppa,” you said taking his hand in yours. “I think it’s time I tell you.”

“What?” he asked suspiciously.

“I can eat like a cow. The only reason I don’t do it in front of you is because it’s very un lady like and I don’t want to come of as an uncivilized monkey.”

“I don’t believe that for a second.”

“Really?”

“Yep,” he closed his eyes in a childish way and crossed his arms. “Prove it.”

“Alright then. How about we go to a pizza place tonight and see who eats more.”

“Alright then,” he said scanning your face for any signs of a scam. There were none.

**************************************************

“One down, twelve more to go,” you said finishing your first slice.

“We’ll see about that,” he said taking a bite of his second slice.

“You can’t win this one,” you tried to trash talk.”

“We’ll see about that,” he said chucking down his third. You pouted and began stuffing more and more in your mouth. You had to win that battle. 

Other couples and servers looked at the two of you hogging your large sized pizzas. They were amazed and a little disgusted.

“Ahhhh I give up,” Chen suddenly said. Tears were forming in the corner of his eyes.

“What? Already?” you asked picking up your eighth slice.

“I can’t do this anymore. I think I’m going to puke,” he said rubbing his tummy. 

“I still have some space in my…” you stopped half way. You looked up and found him looking at you intently. He was expressionless. ‘Oh no! ‘  You had scared him for sure. You began to explain yourself but the sudden smile on his face stopped you.

“What?” you asked.

“Nothing,” he shook his head and looked away.

“No tell me,” you insisted even though you were scared to bits on the inside.

“________,” he mumbled your name.

“Hmmm,” your voice chocked.

“I think I’m falling for you more and more every day,” he whispered, leaning in closer to you. You blinked repeatedly to sink in what he had said. You couldn’t believe it. Had your ears really heard the right thing? Did he really say that he was slowly falling in love with you after seeing your obnoxious side? Was he joking?  

“Are you okay?” he asked you, getting a little freaked out by you staring at him blankly.

“Ah yeah,” you said and shyly looked away. You let your hair fall on the sides of your face to cover up the red ears and the blushing cheeks.

Right then, you knew he was a keeper…

NOTE: The topic of ‘Eating disorders’ is very sensitive and my scenario is not intended to make fun of anyone. The person who requested this scenario wanted it to be sassy and this is the closest I could get to it. I hope that people who suffer from anorexia, bulimia, or any such disorders should seek assistance/ help. Try to be happy with the body you have and if you do want to lose weight, do it in a healthy way. Remember all of you are beautiful :) <3

Truth or Dare [Chen]

Requested by anon




“Ahhhhhhhhhhh, it’s so hot,” Luhan whined, while solving his rubix cube.

“Ummm are you okay? Oppa?” you asked looking up from your magazine.

“Don’t you feel hot?” he asked rolling around, now looking at you.

“Nope I’m fine,” you said shaking your head. Just then Xiumin walked in. “Oh Good you’re here oppa, now use your powers to make Luhan oppa feel better.”

Luhan chuckled and squinted his eyes at you.

“What are you guys talking about?” he said in confusion. “And why is it so hot in here?”

“Seeee!! I told you it was hot,” Luhan said booing at you. You pouted.

“They need to fix the air conditioner in this practice room soon. ________ah, tell the managers.”

You looked up for a brief second and nodded your head. The boys were done with their practice for the day and were just freshening up. You were responsible for taking care of all their needs while they practiced. It wasn’t really a job but since you were the manager’s sister, he pulled some strings for you.

“________ ah, are you..??”

“What?” you looked up once again interrupted from your reading. Just then Chen walked into the room. The wrinkles on your forehead vanished immediately and light pink touch of blush took over your cheeks. You quickly looked away.

“Oh Gosh it’s hot in here,” he said waving his hands in the air.

“Ye,” Xiuhan remarked.

“Let’s play a game!” Luhan suggested.

“What kind?” Chen asked.

“Ummm Truth and Dare?”

“Truth and Dare? Don’t you remember last time we played that game?” Xiumin asked with an amusing expression.

“Yep, that’s exactly why I want to play again,” he said and winked back.

Kris, Lay and Tao entered the room.

“Wow its h…” Kris said but Xiumin and Luhan cut him. “Hot in here! Yes we know.”

You couldn’t help but notice the conversation the boys were having.

“Wanna play Truth and dare?” Chen asked.

“Sure,” Tao replied. Kris and Lay followed.

“Hey __________, don’t you want to play?” Luhan asked throwing a stuff ball at you.

“Aaaa, no thanks,” you replied without looking. You didn’t like making eye contact with Chen so you tried best possible to keep away from him.

“Oh come on,” Tao whined and got up to walk towards you. He grabbed your hand and dragged you to the small circle the boys had formed.

“Sit here,” he said making you sit across from Chen. Just what you needed. Every time you saw his face, your face turned red and your heart began racing. You frowned as Chen looked at you. The smile on his face disappeared. You then kept your eyes fixed to the ground. There was a sort of awkwardness between you and him. You didn’t want him to find out you had feelings for him because that was going to be nothing but a hot mess. Your brother had warned you about such things before you entered the company.

“Okay let’s start,” Kris announced spinning the bottle.

“Tao, Tao, Tao, Tao,” everybody chanted trying to annoy the maknae. Tao pouted and folded his arms. The bottle stopped on Xiumin.

“Ha Ha Ha,” Tao said showing the members his tongue. Xiumin made a face and squinted his eyes.

“I choose dare. Bring it on,” he said sighing.

“Do a back flip,” Kris said suddenly.

“Whoaaaa!! I’m not Lay,” Xiumin said widening his eyes.

“That’s the beauty of it,” Kris replied with a cunning smile.

“Oh I hate you,” Xiumin made a face and bent backwards to get ready. He’d done a back flip once in his life and had sworn to never do it again but here he was, doing it again.

“Woaahhhhh,” the other members gasped as Xiumin did the back flip. He almost slipped.

“Hyung that wasn’t even that hard. Let me choose next time,” Tao nudged Kris.

The bottle was spun once again and this time it stopped on Luhan. Everybody cheered loudly.

“Truth or Dare?” Xiumin asked raising his eyebrows.

“Dare, of course.” Luhan replied with a calm smile on his face.

“OH I have one,” Tao said raising his hand.

“Calm down, we’re not in a school,” Lay said and slapped his back.

“Take of Xiumin Lay hyung’s socks,” he said with an evil smile.

“Umm okay!” Luhan said with a flat face. “What’s so bad about that?”

“Did I mention that you have to do it with your mouth?”

“Whaaatttt!!!” Luhan jumped back. The members started laughing. You began to laugh too. The atmosphere was lightening up for you.

“I love that one,” Xiumin said and clapped.

You looked at Chen from the corner of your eyes. He looked so innocent and adorable looking at the member’s laughing. Little did he know that his smile lightened up your day. It was like warmth that your heart felt. He turned his head but you quickly looked away.

Luhan went down on his knees while Lay took off his shoes.

“Why are you guys doing this to me?” he whined.

“Not so exciting now huh?” Xiumin said with a cheeky smile.

“I hate all of you,” he said while placing his mouth close to Lay’s feet. “Good thing, he actually washes his feet.” Luhan leaned in and closed his eyes. “Oh I hate this,” he mumbled and then without stopping he quickly took the socks off.

Everybody clapped for him. You took the turn to spin the bottle this time. It stopped on Kris.

“Truth or Dare?” you asked with a meek voice.

“Truth,” he replied.

“Whattt!!! I thought we made a rule nobody could choose truth. We had to choose dare,” said Lay.

“What who made that rule?” you asked. “Why do you guys even ask ‘truth or dare’ when people can’t choose that?”

“We made that a long time ago because the game is more fun that way,” Chen replied. You weren’t expecting him to, since he never talked that much. Your heart fluttered on the inside but on the outside you pushed yourself to show a flat face.

“Alright, alright!” Kris lifted his hands. “I choose dare.”

“Do a sexy dance,” Lay said glaring at him.

“Sexy dance? What does that mean?” he replied, making a face.

“You know, where you move like this,” Lay said waving his hand.

“That makes no sense,” Kris replied.

“I know,” Tao said snapping his fingers. “Do it with _________.”

“Huh! Me?” your heart sank in surprise. Your eyes immediately turned to Chen. He seemed just as surprised and a little upset too. You didn’t quite understand why.

“You’re sexy, Kris hyung is sexy. It would be perfect.” Tao said.

“Tao,” Chen glared at him and then hit him on the back.

“What?” Tao snapped back.

“Aish, stop,” Kris shushed ever body and offered you his hand. You didn’t want to refuse because that would be mean. You looked at Chen as if asking for his approval. He looked away. There was no choice but to Kris’s hand. He immediately pulled you up and close to him.  Luhan and began singing.

This moment feels like I was born as a child who knew nothing

I closed my eyes again in case it would be a dream

You were standing in fron of my desperate self and praying

Just once, I want to walk side by side with you’

“Come on Chen sing with me,” he nudged Chen. Chen pouted and shook his head.

Kris ran his hands along the side of your body and then pulled you closer to his chest. He moved his face near you neck and pretended to kiss you.

“Oh woooo!! *whistles* “ the guys cheered while clapping. You blushed and pulled away.

“That was fun,” Kris said winking at you as you settled down. You didn’t know what to say so just smiled back.

I want to spin the bottle this time Lay said taking it from Xiumin. It stopped on Lay.

“What sorcery is this?” he exclaimed.

“Aaaa I have one,” Luhan said excitedly. He got up and ran to the corner of the room. He returned with a small box in his hand.

“What’s that?”

“Baoziiiiii,” Luhan replied with a cheeky smile. “Feed those to Kris hyung.”

“Oh wait and did I mention that you have to do this with your mouth?” he said finally finishing.

“Whaaa,” Lay said pouting. “You know how much I hate close interactions.”

“I did it, you should do it too. Unless you want a punishment.”

Lay glared at Luhan and took the box from him. He really was uncomfortable with such stuff. You were thanking God that the bottle hadn’t stopped on you. You could only imagine what the guys would tell you to do.

You couldn’t help but laugh at Lay feeding Kris the baozi with his mouth. You felt like somebody was tickling your stomach. Kris was smiling right at Lay. For some reason he was enjoying it. Lay frowned and picked up the next one from his mouth and then offered it to Kris.

“Happy?” he asked the members, finishing the job. Everybody clapped once again. Xiumin spun the bottle next. Surprisingly it stopped on you.

“Oh no!” you mumbled. Nobody knew what to say because you was always so quiet.

“Uhhhhhhh,” Luhan said closing one of his eyes acting like he was thinking.

“Ummm kiss someone?” Lay said with a flat face.

“What?” you gasped.

“That’s the least you can do after what all of us did,” Lay tried to persuade you.

“ Kiss someone?” you repeated in disbelief.

“Come on! We are all oppas here!” Kris said winking at you.

“Kiss Chen,” Tao shouted.

“Whaaaa!” your eyes widened with surprise. Xiumin began laughing at your reaction.

“Why are you so surprised?” he asked. “You guys barely talk. It will be good to break the ice.”

“Aniyo,” you said shaking your head.

“If you don’t do it then you’ll have to receive the punishment and I don’t think you want to go down that road ___________.” Lay said with a serious expression. You turned to Chen. He seemed to be very calm. He was neither smiling or frowning. All he was doing was looking at you with his sparkling eyes.

“Come on,” Tao pushed you.

You got up and so did Chen. Your hands began shaking and your heart raced till the point you knew it would explode. You gulped a spit and walked closer to him. Without looking at him you quickly gave him a peck on the cheek and turned around.

“Umm what was that?” Luhan said making a face.

“I kissed him!” you replied.

“We definitely meant kiss on the lips,” he said with a mischievous smile.

“Are you kidding me?” you asked, getting a little mad.

“Nope,” he shook his head. You felt like someone held your hand. It was Chen. You turned to look at him.

“Do it!” he said with a serious face.   

“No!” you snapped back in anger. You didn’t mean too but the situation was so sensitive you had no other choice. The laughter that had filled the air a few moments ago was gone. The room fell silent. Chen’s hand slowly slipped out of yours. The next second he was leaving the room. You didn’t know what to do. Run after him or stay inside. If you stayed inside the glares from the others were going to burn holes in your body and if you went outside you would have to face Chen.

“___________ everything alright?” Kris asked you.

“Huh!” you shook your head. “I think I should go talk to him.” you said trying to avoid the other members.

You sighed as soon as you walked out of the room. Each step that you took to find Chen was making you more and more nervous.

“Oppa where is Chen?” you asked your brother as he walked past you.

“I saw him go up on the roof. Why?” he asked.

“Uh nothing. I have to give him something.”

“Oh alright,” he said and walked away.

You slowly climbed the stairs, dreading the moment you’d have to confront him.

“Oppa!”  you said his name opening the door to the roof. He ignored you. You walked up to him but made sure to stay behind so he won’t see your face.

“Mianhe!” you mumbled. He didn’t respond. “I didn’t mean to say what I said.” You tried once again but all to no avail. You wanted to cry.

“Say something,” Your voice chocked. He’d made up his mind not to say anything. This was it. You’d messed up the little chances you had of ever telling him that you liked him. You turned to leave, hoping he would stop you. You were at the door when he finally spoke.

“Why did you refuse to kiss me?” he asked. You didn’t know what to say. Chen turned around. His eyes were red and puffy. Your heart felt heavy. You were the reason for those tears and that’s the last thing you wanted.

“Why are you crying?” you asked hesitantly.  Chen walked and stopped close to you. He swiftly slipped his hand behind your back and then used the other to remove the strands of hair from your face.

“Do you like me?” he asked. You felt tongue tied. Your eyes wandered from side to side with nervousness.

“_________!” he shook you. You were still thinking about what to say when Chen pressed his lips against yours. For a second you couldn't believe but as reality started to sink in you tried to push him away. Something made you stop though. You gave in and stepped back as he pinned you to the wall. You could never imagine him like this. He was very soft an gentle.

When he pulled away he had a huge smile on his face. You returned the smile.

“I’m sorry,” he said scratching his head. You shook your head, trying to tell him that he didn't need to apologize.

“_________, will you go out with me?” he asked.

“What no!” you said suddenly then bit your tongue for speaking to soon. Chen looked at you with a confused expression.  He seemed to be disappointed.

“I’m scared of my brother,” you mumbled.

“We don’t have to tell everybody,” he said holding your hand.

“But..”

“Don’t be scared. I’ll be with you.”

He lifted your chin so you could look at him. His eyes showed reassurance.

You squeezed his hand. He took that as a yes and hugged you immediately.

“Thank you,” he whispered. A smile spread on your face. He understood you without you having to say anything.

MY FIRST CHEN SCENARIO <3   

I feel like an overworked Zombie right now so don’t judge me for the lame title. [ I never finished proof reading  but I’ll do it tomorrow] :)

A cold winter day [Chen] -Submission

***submission by aww-sehunyoucutie. Guys this story is beautiful. It made me squeal. I hope you guys enjoy it too :) ***


Sighing, your eyes followed Chen as he sang and danced passionately, his sustaining voice resounding in a forceful vibrato that sent a chill down your spine. Holding your face up as you sat against the wall on the ground, you squirmed weirdly, trying to get rid of the strong frisson.

Looking back up to watch them continue the song practice, you spied Chen’s amused smile at your strange wriggling. You put on an overly fake shocked face and shrugged your shoulders in the most unglamorous way. Turning it into a smile with an energetic wave, you averted your gaze, trying to keep yourself from looking back and instead staring at the other members.

You sighed inaudibly again, hugging your knees, burying your face into them. You were physically tired from staying up late at night reading or just from the cold of the winter. You’d always gotten cold easily, and, as always, the nippy weather was never kind to you.

 “______,” Chen called playfully whilst dancing, trying to regain your attention.

You ignored him. Despite your cheerful, weird, bright personality, you were also a sharp girl.

You were in love with Chen, and it hurt sometimes, obviously, you knew. Why Chen, you always thought, why? Chen, who’s never sincere. Who’s kind, but you were bound to be hurt when you realize he was kidding, that he doesn’t care about your feelings. It wasn’t all the time, but whenever you were just so perfectly happy, it was a joke.

And every time, every time, you tell yourself you’ll get even, that it won’t happen again. Still, then, the sad truth you manage to grasp is that it’ll be impossible. It never happens, it will never happen. Because he just doesn’t care about you enough.

Still, you just decided to ignore it and smile, because you wanted him to smile more than anything. And that was only something an idiot would say, but you gladly accepted it.

You’d been friends with Chen since he found you to tutor him in Chinese and English. It was your part time job just after high school, so of course, you took him. You were younger than him by a year, so he was always fine with letting you speak informally, loosely, because he wanted you to be yourself.

“_________!”

You turned your head slowly, shivering from the cold temperature of the room. You folded your knees over your hands, sandwiching your fingers in the backs of your knees, feeling icy coldness in the warmth of your legs.

“What?” you responded lazily, tired and cold.

He’d been whining your name over and over again while he danced, unprofessionalism he rarely ever showed. You felt a chill down your spine, this time from the low temperature in the room rather than from his voice. His eyes widened and he sprinted over to you in the middle of the song.

“________, are you cold?” he knelt down on one knee in front of you, gently taking one of your hands into his and cringing slightly from the cold.

His hands were hot, you were sure all of theirs were, but Chen’s made your hand burn with heat even more.

“It’s so cold,” you complained, holding his hand, secretly happy.

Abruptly, he stood and tossed you the black sweater he left on a seat in favor of dance practice. He held your hand one last time, warming it up before running back to his place, making his band members smile in amusement.

“Wear that and stay,” he shouted over the music, smiling his usual smile.

You were happy. Slowly, you threw it over your head, his sweater hanging loosely off your smaller frame. It didn’t matter how freezing you were, his sweater made you feel warm.

All of the band members knew he was mad in love with you, just as you were with him, urging him to make a move, but he’d always backed out at the last minute, making it a joke. This, of course, you didn’t know.

There was once, though, and you couldn’t help but keep the memory, when he did ask you out. He offered to treat you to bubble tea, but you were so confused, happy, not understanding. You’d asked him why. And at that, there was a pause, then he immediately laughed and replied, ‘just kidding, I can’t create scandals with just anybody.’ You were slightly hurt that you were ‘just anybody’, but you dismissed it with a smile and a nod, ‘I thought so’.

It hurt his ego as well, and, since then, the two of you were always trying, but never making your feelings meet. You became more conscious of his actions and words, and he tried harder, to make you feel something, anything, for him, unknowing you already did, more than enough.

Dance practice ended soon after, you still engrossed in the feeling of the dark article of clothing you wore. You stood up, encouraging everyone brightly. Everyone felt great, the energy in the room was high. Slowly, the six members dispersed, excepting Chen and Minseok, the four others went outside, they usually had takeout that you bring, down in a room a floor above where you were. Xiumin came over, seeing as he was also someone you helped with language, he was friendly with you.

“______!” He called, smiling adorably, as he was used to.

 He held your hand, his eyes widening in surprise. He quickly enveloped both of them in his that were warm from practice, and blew warm breath over your fingertips.

“Wah,” he was surprised at the difference in temperature from your hands and his, “_____, I thought frost was my power.”

You laughed at his lame joke, as did he.

You shook your head, he was so cute, you couldn’t help but think. He still rubbed his thumbs over your fingers soothingly, trying to increase the circulation that ran through your hands.

Chen had a brief swig of water before he paused to burn holes into the back of Xiumin’s head. He was upset.

“Still so cold with a sweater on,” Xiumin commented, shaking his head in slight disbelief.

He grazed your fingertips with his lips as a sort of cute joke, and you yelped softly, breaking into laughter alongside the lovely older boy. Chen’s eyes widened and he stormed over angrily. Breaking the two of you up, he held your hand tightly.

“Hey, hyung,” he stood in front of you, expression stiff, staring at Xiumin, “Is anything wrong?”

Minseok clearly knew what the younger boy was implying and shook his head knowingly. He chuckled a bit, backing off with his hands in the air.

“Nothing, Jongdae, nothing,” and Jongdae feels slightly embarrassed at the older boy’s reaction.

Your hands are burning hot, or it felt that way where Chen touched you. Relunctantly, he sighs, turning toward you with newly found ire. Despite his expression, he still held your hands softly, in the sweetest way.

“And you,” he addressed you sternly, upset, clearly you could tell from his face, “Don’t think that just because you get cold easily, you can go and flirt with Minseok-hyung.”

His words struck you dumb. And you stood there, eyebrows slightly raised, confused. He shook his head, frustrated at your lack of response.

“You do it on purpose, don’t you? Let yourself get cold so you can act all cute for hyung?”

You finally managed to register what he said and you hardly understood. No, you did, but you were upset. You wanted to take off the sweater he gave you, because at that moment, you were engulfed in anger, that pounded through your limbs.

“You always spend extra time teaching him, too,” he scoffs, half laughing bitterly, ridiculing you, “Or you’re supposed to be teaching him. All you do is flirt. Of all of the stupid, childish things you could do. Do you really like him that mu-“

“Jongdae,” there are tears in your eyes as you spat out the poisonous words, staring straight into his eyes, “you are such a goddamn jerk.”

You didn’t want to cry.

You pulled your hands back sharply, hurt, so many times. It didn’t matter to you why he would even say that, but he always hurt you, and you were done with being hurt. You were done with acting like it didn’t faze you. It didn’t matter if you loved him, it wasn’t even worth it anymore.

The room is silent, except for the deep breaths he drew and your pained exhale.

“_______, I-“ he stopped, watching you slowly try to remove the clothing he told you to wear.

A jolt of alarm shot through him.

Quickly, he grabbed you, held you tightly. You protested, but lightly, because you’re too busy crying. Silent sobbing, you just wanted to go home. He grabbed onto you tighter, leaning into your body, burying you in his. One hand on the back of your head, pressing it deep into his open chest, one around your back, he embraced you.

“No,” he half whispered into your hearing, “Don’t take it off.”

You were upset and confused, you let out an almost inaudible whimper, trying to stop your tears, and Chen flinched upon hearing it. He tightened his grip.

“_____, I’m sorry,” he apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. _______, I love you.”

He can feel you slightly tense up, and it stirred more sadness in his heart. He almost wanted to laugh at himself, at how pitiful he was. Always hurting you, always, he could see sometimes, not every time, the sparkle from your eyes dull as you smile and force a laugh, waving him off.

“______, I love you, I love you, I love you,” he exhaled painfully, as if he could erase all the horrible memories, “I love you.”

And slowly, you relax. Just enough, to rest in his arms. You gave up. You were tired.

He lets you go, loosens his grip just a bit, so he can see your face. And he leans down. Arms on your shoulders, he bends down to eye level and moves in so close, you could hear the softest of his breaths.

Softly pressing his forehead to yours, he caught your gaze, and somehow, by some strange power, you couldn’t move away. Or, you didn’t want to.

“_______,” he whispered, you could feel it blow across your lips, “tell me, if you love me.”

You don’t know what to say, but all you think is ‘yes’. Still, his heart sunk at your silence.

“I’m,” he paused, thinking how pathetic he must be, “I’m going to kiss you now.”

And before you can shout ‘yes!’ that yes, you love him, his lips connected with your own. Slowly but surely, he pressed his soft lips against yours, and broke apart gently, making sure to look at your expression.

“Ni ai wo ma?” he asked in his best attempt at Mandarin if you love him, and you crack a smile, laughing softly at how horribly cheesy all of it was.

“Mn,” you made a sound of agreement, “Wo ai ni.”

He formed a sweet grin with his lips, and crashed his smile to yours, and you reciprocated.

Just then, the door creaked open. You peered around Chen to see who it was.

“Woah, damn,” came the surprised male voice, it was Tao.

Eyes wide, he raised his hands and backed away from the door, whispering a quick ‘sorry’ in response to the two of you in the room turning around to face him.

The door clicked closed. And there was silence.

You couldn’t help but laugh. A genuine laugh, and Chen laughed along with you.

Jongdae fixed his sweater on your shoulders, pulling it back from slipping off, and with one hand behind your back, brought you along to turn up the heat in the room.

And that, you thought, was and would always be the sweetest thing he could do on a cold winter’s day.
