a/n: i'm bored in class so here i am writing a fic about two dorks in love🥰 (i'm single af)

the airport buzzed with excitement as travelers hurried to their destinations. you stood nervously, scanning the crowd for familiar faces. this trip was a first for you—your first vacation with karina and her family. your own family was far too busy to join you, making this a chance to step out of your comfort zone.

finally, you spotted karina, her radiant smile lighting up the room. she waved enthusiastically, and your heart skipped a beat. as you approached, you noticed her family was with her, looking just as welcoming.

“hey, yn! i’m so glad you could come!” karina exclaimed, pulling you into a warm embrace. the warmth of her hug made your worries melt away, and you felt your cheeks flush slightly. you returned the embrace, feeling a sense of belonging in this moment.

the journey to osaka was filled with laughter and chatter, with karina sharing stories about her family and her favorite places in the city. as you strolled through the streets, your heart swelled with happiness at simply being with her. you admired the way her eyes sparkled with excitement, each smile making you fall a little harder.

the days in osaka were a whirlwind of adventure. the aquarium was a highlight for you, and you found yourself lost in wonder as you marveled at the vibrant sea life. your eyes lit up every time you spotted a colorful fish or a playful otter. karina noticed, her own face lighting up at your enthusiasm. she leaned in closer, her voice a soft whisper as she pointed out the creatures swimming by.

you exchanged glances, and in those moments, words felt unnecessary. the joy in your hearts filled the silence.

after a few days, you made your way to fujinomiya for a day of fruit picking. the fresh air invigorated you as you approached the apple orchards. the sight of the towering trees filled you with anticipation, and a playful pout formed on your lips.

“i want to pick apples, but that gorilla got to have you on its lap before i did,” you teased, crossing your arms dramatically and pretending to sulk. karina chuckled, her laughter like music to your ears.

“oh, come on baby. it’s just a silly gorilla.” she replied with a playful roll of her eyes. you both continued to joke and laughed as you spent the day picking apples, but you couldn’t really focus on the job when karina reached up an apple at a higher place, towering over you. nearly fell, you quickly catches your hat, holding onto karina’s arm.

“ooh, careful baby,” karina replied as she placed your hat back on. after a fun-filled day in the orchard, it was time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. you and karina sat side by side on the edge of the gazebo, while karina's family gathered in the middle.

"first to peel 5 clementines wins!" karina announced without warning. but watching her furrow her brows in concentration made you pause. this girl had so many sides that made you fall in love with her over and over again. karina's mom captured the moment on her phone—karina would tease you about it later, but both of you knew she was just as down bad for you.

when you arrived at the cozy accommodation—where you and karina shared a room—you decided to relax in the hot tub provided. after only 10 minutes of closing your eyes, you feel something heavy on your lap. "see? you got to have me in your lap with this gorgeous swimsuit." after karina said that, you didn't dare to look down—you can be sure that your cheeks are tinged with red.

"this is nice," karina leaned her head against your shoulder, her lips coming into contact with your neck briefly as she bobbed her head. you nodded in response. with the hot steam evaporating into the air, the desire to kiss karina grew even greater.

you shifted slightly, making karina move her head away from your shoulder to look up at you. "you're so beautiful," tension filled the air between you before you inched closer, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. it started soft, a brush of warmth, but as you melted into the moment, the kiss deepened. your hands found their way to her waist, pulling her closer. karina responded with equal intensity, her fingers trailing up to your neck—squeezing it lightly.

the kiss grew more heated, the sensation of her pressed against you sends a jolt of electricity all over your body. you pulled back for a breath, only to have her lips follow yours, hungry and eager. you both laughed softly in the midst of it, caught up in the moment.

just as things were getting even more intense, you heard a throat clear from behind you. your heart nearly stopped as you quickly pulled away from karina, eyes wide with shock. standing at the doorway was karina’s mother, her arms crossed put a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “well, well, what do we have here?” she teased, clearly hiding her amusement.

“i was just coming to see if you girls wanted to join us for the movies, but it looks like that you’re... occupied.”

“we were just... uh, talking.” you stammered, though karina’s swimsuit, the redness on both of your face, and the way you were still sitting close in the tub told a different story.

karina’s mother just laughed lightly, shaking her head. “relax, i’m not mad.” she glanced at karina, still hiding her face in embarrassment. “just try not to drown while you’re... you know, ‘talking.’”

“mom!” karina groaned again, finally peeking out from behind her hands, looking mortified beyond belief.

“okay, okay, i’m going. just wanted to check in on you two,” her mother added, clearly enjoying the situation far more than karina did. “have fun, girls. but don’t stay out too long.” with that, she gave a knowing smile and walked away, leaving you both in stunned silence.

karina slowly sank down even further into the water, her entire face still flushed. “oh my god. i can’t believe that just happened.”

you, still recovering from the shock, let out a nervous laugh. “i guess... at least she wasn’t angry?”

karina let out a groan, her head dropping against the edge of the hot tub. “i’ll never live this down.”

“well, it could’ve been worse,” you offered, nudging her lightly. “at least she didn’t, like, sit down and start giving us advice.”

karina shot you a horrified look before both of you burst into laughter, the tension dissolving into a shared moment of humor. even though the embarrassment still lingered, you could feel the closeness between you growing, the awkwardness of being caught somehow making the moment even more memorable.

“next time,” karina mumbled between giggles, “we need to lock the door.”

you got the lucky dog!🍀

kim minji x fem!reader

synopsis: yn’s fear of dogs holds a painful secret—one she’s forced to face after rescuing an abandoned puppy. with the help of minji, a kindhearted vet, yn begins to heal, finding comfort, love, and a new beginning as they raise juntos together.

warnings: mention of violence and abusive parent; slight angst, they got a happy ending tho; yn’s kinda insecure; NOT proofread

a/n: cried a little bit while writing this😓 ngl this does feel kinda rushed but i'm eager to post atm💪

dogs, your nemesis.

for as long as you could remember, the sight of a dog triggered a quiet panic inside you, a swift, choking sensation you could never quite shake. the fear reached back to a single moment: a hot, blinding summer afternoon in your childhood when you’d been innocently clutching a sausage, nibbling on it between games in your backyard.

out of nowhere, a mangy, rabid-looking dog charged toward you, eyes wild and fixated on the piece of meat dangling from your fingers. your stomach clenched, and you bolted, heart hammering. behind you, the dog's growl tore through the air, relentless, growing louder with every pounding step. in a last-ditch effort to escape, you threw open the back door and stumbled into your house, the safety you expected replaced with the sound of your father’s yelling.

in your mother’s fearful eyes, you saw a reflection of your own—both of you trapped, just in different ways. the dog scratched furiously at the door, the sounds outside colliding with the shouts from inside, fusing into one. from that day on, the fear of dogs burrowed deep, layered atop memories of helplessness and chaos. a fear you never let anyone in on, because it wasn’t just about dogs. not really.

so when you found a shivering golden retriever puppy in an alley one night, the old terror resurfaced in full force. you froze, your first instinct screaming at you to turn back, to pretend you hadn’t seen anything. but its pitiful whimpers held you in place. it was helpless—abandoned, like you sometimes felt—and before you knew it, your legs moved you forward. you knelt, pulse thudding in your ears, and scooped it up with shaky arms, hardly able to breathe with the puppy pressed so close.

that’s how you met her—minji, the vet.

she barely glanced at you before reaching for the puppy, her voice soft as she murmured to it, hands working quickly and carefully, inspecting its wounds. her calmness unsettled you, made you feel more visible than you were used to. you tried to focus on anything but her, on the puppy’s gentle breathing, on the antiseptic smell of the clinic, until her voice cut through.

"you did the right thing, bringing him here," she said, a faint smile playing on her lips. "he’s lucky someone cared enough."

your throat tightened. lucky? you hadn’t felt lucky for a long time, but you managed a nod, murmuring, “i just... didn’t want to leave him behind.”

minji’s gaze lingered, something almost knowing in her eyes. “what’s his name?”

“he’s- i found him in an alley nearby,” you whispered, avoiding her gaze. “but, i... i wan’t to care for him. perhaps naming him juntos, it means ‘together.’” the name felt like a promise—a shaky one, but a promise nonetheless. one you weren’t even sure you could keep.

minji’s smile softened, and for a fleeting second, her hand brushed against yours as she took juntos back for bandaging. you flinched—too sharply. she noticed but didn’t say a word, just let her hand fall away. that simple gesture, her unspoken understanding, caught you off guard. you’d been expecting questions, pity, maybe even a push for you to “face your fear.” but she left it at that, moving about the clinic as if it were normal for someone to shake with fear over a puppy.

you didn’t expect to be back so soon.

the next day, juntos’ bandages seemed off, smeared with what looked like blood. an excuse to see her again? maybe. but you couldn’t bring yourself to admit it. you convinced yourself it was about juntos. so you showed up, fidgeting in the clinic’s waiting area, hoping she’d think you were here for the right reasons.

when she walked in, her eyes caught yours, a glimmer of something like amusement hidden behind her calm gaze. “betadine, not blood,” she said as if she could read the question in your mind. “the bandages are fine.” but she changed them anyway, her movements careful and precise.

“i don’t mind if you bring him here, though,” she murmured, a slight teasing edge to her voice. “but i have a feeling you’re looking for an excuse.” her fingers lingered on juntos’ fur, and you realized you’d been holding your breath.

she smiled, her expression softening when you finally met her gaze. “here,” she said, writing her number on the back of your hand in a quick, effortless scrawl. “in case you need to talk. or…if you need more excuses to come by.”

your fingers curled around the ink, something fragile swelling in your chest. you nodded, feeling a familiar tightness in your throat. but all you managed was a quiet, “okay.”

that night, you lay awake, heart pounding as you stared at the number on your hand. for the first time in a long while, you felt something other than the hollow echo of fear. instead, it was a pull—toward something unknown, terrifying, and yet…warm.

***

weekends with minji felt like a series of small discoveries.

she invited you over, and though you hesitated, the thought of being near her felt like a safe place to fall. her home was everything yours wasn’t: bright, open, brimming with life. the centerpiece of it all was her aquarium, an underwater world you could have stared at for hours.

“had a fish named darwin once,” she mused, watching a neon-blue fish dart through the coral. “he was my first, actually. still have him, though he’s in there somewhere.”

her words tugged at something inside you, memories of your own darwin—a small, loyal fish who hadn’t made it past the summer of his first year. the reminder stung, reminding you of all the broken things you’d tried to piece together but couldn’t. her tank was alive, flourishing, while yours had long since turned empty and forgotten.

you couldn’t hide the flash of pain in your eyes. minji noticed, and in her typical quiet way, didn’t press. instead, she let the silence settle, her fingers tapping gently on the glass as if the aquarium itself could tell you the words she left unsaid: “it’s okay if things don’t stay whole.”

but there were moments where the walls closed in again. one night, as you sat across from her at her kitchen table, memories crept back in unbidden—old, ragged shadows of barking dogs and slamming doors. you felt your hand tremble, and minji’s gaze shifted to you, her calm unwavering.

“sometimes, fear doesn’t just disappear,” she said quietly, her voice a soothing presence in the room. “it stays. but that doesn’t mean you’re not strong for feeling it.” she took your hand, squeezing it gently, grounding you.

for a moment, you wanted to pull back, to recoil from the comfort. comfort was a dangerous thing; you knew what it felt like to lose it. but her hand stayed steady, and gradually, so did you.

weeks turned into months, and in those countless moments between, you felt the slow but steady shift of something breaking open inside you, each barrier crumbling bit by bit. with juntos growing, his playfulness began filling the empty spaces of your days. there was something comforting in watching him bound around, carefree, tugging at loose socks and nuzzling against you when you’d lay on the couch, seeking comfort of his own.

one crisp evening, you found yourself in minji’s home again. juntos lay between you, sprawled out and gently snoring. minji was beside you on the couch, her warmth a steady presence, her hand softly resting near yours. you realized that each time she was near, the raw edges of your past felt less jagged, the fear that had once left you feeling trapped loosening its grip. in that quiet space, your guard started to wane.

“minji,” you whispered, looking down at juntos. she turned to you, her gaze steady but soft, the way it always was when she sensed you were holding something close to your heart.

“i… i don’t think i’ve ever told you why i’m so afraid of dogs,” you began, voice a little strained, almost uncertain. she nodded, giving you all the patience you needed. you took a shaky breath, “it wasn’t just the dog chasing me that day,” you explained, memories resurfacing with the weight they always carried. “it was my father. after i ran inside, he…” your words caught, but her hand was there, a quiet assurance resting gently over yours.

“he wasn’t a kind man,” you finished softly, voice barely above a whisper. “every time i see a dog, i… i can’t help but remember that day. all the yelling, the anger… i just, i get scared. and sometimes it feels like that fear will never leave me.”

minji’s thumb moved gently against the back of your hand, grounding you in that tender silence she always kept between you both. “fear doesn’t vanish overnight,” she murmured, her words like a warm balm. “but it doesn’t define you, either. it’s okay to carry it. and it’s okay to take your time with it.” she smiled, something knowing and gentle in her gaze. “you’re safe now. you have me, juntos, and maybe… maybe a chance to make peace with what happened.”

over time, it wasn’t just about juntos anymore. it became about building a new kind of life. together, you and minji nurtured him into adulthood, watching him grow into a big, playful bundle of loyalty, his devotion to you both a source of constant joy.

and, gradually, those fears began to fade, softened by the endless moments of safety and love that now filled your life.

years passed, and you found yourself with minji and juntos in a place you’d never thought possible—a modest home in the countryside, surrounded by a sweeping green field that stretched as far as the eye could see. juntos loved to roam here, his boundless energy set free across the vast, open land.

one evening, with the sunset painting the sky in shades of orange and lavender, you and minji stood side by side, watching juntos chase after a stray butterfly. her fingers intertwined with yours, a faint smile on her lips as she glanced at you.

“this,” she whispered, her eyes glimmering with something soft and steady, “this feels like home, doesn’t it?”

you looked at her, feeling the weight of every struggle, every ache, and every moment of growth that had brought you both here. there was peace now, an assurance that what you’d found together was real, solid. you nodded, smiling as you leaned your head against her shoulder. “it does. finally.”

together, you watched juntos play in the grass, his golden coat glowing under the fading light. the future felt boundless, the green fields around you symbolizing a fresh start, a life you’d both built from scratch—stronger, safer, and filled with love.

when minji slipped a simple silver band onto your finger one quiet afternoon, in the same green field that had become your sanctuary, you felt a warmth you hadn’t known was possible.

“we’re together,” she whispered, her voice steady, her gaze unwavering as she met your eyes.

“together,” you replied, a promise wrapped in that single word, as juntos circled around you both, tail wagging, bearing witness to the life you’d built—a life where you’d found peace, joy, and a love that felt like home.

after going silent for a good minute, you opened your mouth, “how does a daughter sound to you?”

have never been so invested in a series before but friendly rivalry got me 😵‍💫 should i write for them along with some other groups i stan?

pham hanni x fem!reader

synopsis: summer break have always been special to you, but this time it's different. who knows that the little fairy that have always stayed by your side managed to steal a kiss?

warnings: messed up grammar (english is my second language pls bear with me); harsh language/jokes; no other than that ig

a/n: okay i don’t even know what is this, i found this in my notes app. they’re just two dorks in love🤓 in my productive writing era😎

sweat beads drops from your shin as hanni ran away with your ice cream deeper into the woods, swaying the plastic packaging.

“get back here, you little– ugh!” you groan, nearly tripped to a pretty big puddle of dirty water. you could hear hanni's laugh starting to echo from afar.

“try to catch me, big fucking giant!” she laughs even louder, completely oblivious of you that were hiding behind a big tree nearby. when she passes by the tree, you jumped in front of her whike mimicking the sound of a tiger–resulting in her falling back onto a soft lumps of moss. you quickly took away your ice cream from her hand, finding it barely has a shape and completely mushed up (you ate it anyways). after stuffing the ice cream into your mouth, you reach hanni's arm, mumbling ‘are you okay’. hanni's eyebrows furrow as she looks at you cutely angrily, patting the dirt and mosses that were on her short. she received a big laugh from you as the both of you walked side to side back to the campsite by the lake you were glamping together.

summer break nearly ends when you two decided to do something else other than lazily lay down in hanni's bed, with the summer breeze blows once or twice, watching movies while snacking. hanni suggested glamping, you couldn't refuse but to nod. it was the umpteenth time you spend your summer break with hanni. you were friends since first grade, when hanni decided to greet the nerdy-bitchy-and-ignorant-looking transfer child to be exact. you weren't very friendly at first, almost defensive, but when you see the brightest smile you've ever seen you immediately replied with another smile–unconciously. ever since, you two are insepareable; eating lunch, learning to read and write, even one time you refused to leave hanni in the bathroom. you treasure your one and only friend so much and she knows it, never leaving your side either–well, except in the bathroom.

hanni grew into a social butterfly, you on the other hand prefer your own company–and hanni's, of course. eventually, hanni found herself a friend group–which doesn't mind that you always tag along with them. although while the other chat and exchanging informations, you quietly sat beside hanni. one hand holding a book, the other oftenly find itself holding hanni's.

“aren’t you tired bro?” you sat beside hanni, taking your cup of tea. the latter shook her head, leaning against you. the night sky are bright with infinite amount of stars reflected in the body of water, you're glad you're able to share the moment with hanni.

“have you ever thought about marriage? wouldn’t it be great if were able to watch this kind of beautiful scenery with our partner?” you hummed in response, feeling a shiver down your spine.

“i wish i could stay here foreverrr.” hanni streches her back. getting up to pick a flat rock, throwing it against the water surface, the rock bounces a few times before it finally sinks down. you, with your own thoughts stared at her short and slender figure (that didn't go unnoticed by hanni, she always knew whenever you stare at her). she smiled, taking your hand to get you on your feet and started to hum a song you two have always liked since you were ten, once upon a dream. she rested her head on your shoulder, you two started to sway to the melody coming out of hanni's mouth. naturally, you put your right hand on hanni’s waist and close your eyes.

(“hello scary new girl! i’m hanni, do you want half of my orange?” the shorter girl in front of you streched out her palm, revealing a weird looking half of an orange, “i cleaned the yucky white part for you too!”

“no, t-thank you.” you refused at first, but seeing the frown on hanni's cute face made you change your mind, “it looks delicious though, i can eat it.” you took a piece and put it inside your mouth, “my name is y/n, by the way.”)

“it’s midnight, we should probably go head back before it’s too dangerous.” hanni’s voice snapped you back to reality, “are you okay? you look... ugly....” hanni earned a slap on the shoulder.

“yeah, we should probably go back. where’s the flashlight?” you watched as hanni’s face turned pale when her hand reaches her pocket, “fuck.”

"you left the flashlight in the cabin," on point. your face looks concerningly tense, but loosen up as soon as you realize that you can *ekhm* act brave to take care of hanni, “okay, i believe i still remember the path we took earlier. just don’t go too far from me. if i die, we die together.” keyword: believe. to be honest you still remember the route you took to come here, it’s just the dark forest floor could be dangerous and with the wolf howling in the distance, it just adds up the tension—you took your time pretending to search for the way back to take advantage of the situation, you knew hanni easily gets scared especially in the dark.

“you okay pham? we're almost there,” you took a look around for a few minutes, eyes finally lit up to a sight of a giant tree you know you came across earlier, “see? we’re near, i left my ice cream packaging right in... this tree!” no answer from hanni who were sitting not far away from you. you started to get concerned, checking if the girl is still there.

“god damn, y/n. how can you be not tired and afraid?” she raised her head, face just inches away from you. you back up almost immediately, a burst of pink tint grew on your cheeks while hanni sit down quitely.

“well, uh- i mean, we’re together. now let's go it's getting a lot dangerous to be out here without any weapon.” you took hanni's arm awkwardly (you still wanted to keep her safe after all), the latter just follow along quietly, not letting out any sound anymore.

after what feels like forever, you two finally all clean (you slipped on the moss hanni fell on before) and warmed up inside. your and hanni's cheek were both still burning from what had happened earlier, busy with each of your own thoughts. you both could barely sleep that night.

the next day, you didn't find hanni on her side of the bed, instead finding her stepping inside the cabin with wet hair and fresh new clothes. you sat up looking dishelved, throwing you her wet towel.

“wake up, sleepyhead. we’re going home tomorrow, i still want to explore a lot of parts of the forest.” you groan, stretching your body and taking a freshly dry towel before going to the bathroom.

“do you have a spare shirt? mine’s dirty from yesterday,” you come back from the bathroom wearing only ribbed sleeveless tops that emphasized your body shape, “if you don't have one i can just use this top. it's actually feels great having the wind blows directly to my skin.” you left hanni drooling at the sight, she think people must've eyed you the moment you stepped out of the bathroom.

“here, use this.”

“hello kitty...?” you furrowed your eyebrows in disagreement but decided to wear it anyways and as expected, the fabrics pressed against your body since hanni is smaller than you, “oh shit, i think i streched it out a little bit.” you once again left hanni drooling at the sight of your abs and biceps.

“i’m sorry.” you held your palms together while bowing at a 90 degree angle, “i’ll get you another tee once we're back.” hanni left you unanswered.

“hanni? you’re ready to go out?” your swift movement of pushing her glasses up snapped her back to reality.

“huh? oh– yes. let's go.” you nod cheerfully before grabbing a rosy-cheeked hanni.

***

“this felt different,” you poke a mushroom when hanni's busy taking pictures of the beauty (you), “especially with the fact we're graduating high school next year.”

“what does?” hanni stopped taking your picture to actually look at you, curious and a little confused as to what you mean.

“high school. it feels like it's going by so fast don't you think?” hanni took a seat beside you, knowing when you're thinking and being all melanchonic like this, there must've been someting you wanted to say.

“uhuh, but we got to spend it together and i promise you'll never forget this last year of high school.” i won't let you forget it when all you do is stay by my side.

“i just– i want to be in a relationship too y'know. all our friends have at least fucked someone while even my lips are still virgin...” hanni almost let out a loud ‘what the fuck’ but managed to keep it inside her mouth, thinking how adorable and innocent you look right now.

“hey, i haven't had my first kiss too, you know.... i think its should be done with someone special, someone you’ll want to spend the rest of your life with,” like you, hanni thought as she brushes your bangs she trimmed a while ago, “now would you be the object of my photograph again, ms. y/n?”

the night fell and you’re both finally back in the cabin again—this time safely—sitting in the fields with a few other people while sipping a cup of tea under the stars after dinner, enjoying each others company. you can see some lovers a couple miles ago from where you’re sitting starting to make out. has no shame, you thought.

“i have never seen something so beautiful before.” you lay on your back to get a better view of the constellations, truly immerse yourself guessing the which constellation is which. hanni’s not sure whether you talk to her or to yourself, but one thing that hanni's sure of she wants to kiss you.

“neither have i.” hanni leans in as you almost said you've found the libra constellation—even though it was july—completely shutting you up with a kiss on your lips. no one can see you two since hanni picked the farthest place to have more privacy, but you didn't expect for hanni to kiss you. however, engrossed in the moment, you lean closer to hanni to return the kiss. eagerly kissing back—putting all the kissing scene you've watched to practice—slowly making your way to her neck, yet while you hear a soft moan escaped hanni's pretty pink lips you immediately pull back due to embarassment. as the night grow larger, the two of you sit in complete silence, doesn't dare to let out a sound.

“hanni?” after sitting in complete silence for a good 30 minutes, you finally gather enough courage to talk, “can you, uhm, explain? oh but– before that i know i have an explanation to do too but–”

“i love you.” and hanni succeed to shut your mouth again by saying those three words you've heard countless times before, but this time it's different.

“i love you too,” you were surprised by how effortlessly the words flow out of your mouth, hugging hanni after saying it once, “i love you too, han.”

i miss home (but this is home)

kim minjeong x fem!reader

synopsis: when you step into the house, the smell of your mother’s cooking greets you, as if reminding you of all the memories long buried. but behind your warm smile, there’s a voice in your heart whispering, ‘this isn't the home you wanted.’ even though you’re here, your soul longs for the place you left behind—a place where you felt free and full of hope.

warnings: implied cheating; angst; mention of food; i wrote this in 5 hrs and i’m sleep deprived so it may not make sense at some parts; the story is set in japan (mostly) but i didn’t know much japanese idols so please ignore my character selection🙏; i forgor abt amari at the end.

a/n: i actually proofread this one once yay👍 actually got this idea while listening to NIKI’s split a d reading tbhk comic volume 8. #i'm grindimg yoo🔥🔥🔥 forgot to say that the story is mostly taking place in japan😭

exactly four years ago during winter, after you’d finished your daily task of shoveling snow from the driveway, a silver sedan parked at the house across from yours. that house had been empty for a long time; its last residents were an elderly couple—mr. and mrs. jones. your family had become quite close to them after being neighbors since the day your parents moved into the house. by the time you and your sister were born, they were like a third set of grandparents, often inviting you over to play. unfortunately, they decided to spend their old age in europe when you were nine.

though you were curious about the new residents, you decided not to watch the movers unload boxes—or their child, gleefully carrying their own box—after hearing your mom call you for dinner. only after everyone had gathered—your parents, your older sister karina, and the family’s beloved doberman, amari—did you mention what you saw earlier. “hey, did you know someone moved into grandpa jones’ house?” everyone turned to you in confusion.

“yn, sweetheart, did you forget or were you not listening to what i told you yesterday, huh?” karina playfully pinched your cheek, which you allowed. after a moment of thinking, you slapped your forehead.

“ah! i totally forgot. it’s, uhh, mr. and mrs. jones’ son and daughter-in-law, right? when are we visiting them, dad? i want to give their kid a present!” without waiting for a reply, you said enthusiastically, “oh, they have a kid?” your dad replied in the same cheerful tone.

“yeah, looks to be about my age.”

and that’s how you found yourself in this situation, punching the face of a school bully notorious for picking on new kids—especially the ones who looked timid and helpless.

“wow, wow. looks like someone wants to be a hero…” yunjin, their leader, sneered at you, wiping the blood dripping from her lip. she ordered her twin, yujin, to fight back, but before she could swing, you grabbed the new kid’s wrist and took off running.

after escaping through the school gate—the guard was stupidly asleep—and stopping once you felt safe, you let go of her wrist. you went in search of the nearest convenience store for drinks, and she followed you quietly.

“pick anything you like, it’s on me!” your positive energy seemed to surprise her a little, but she didn’t say much after you both chose drinks and you paid.

“thank you..” she said softly after you both sat down on a swing in the park just a stone’s throw from your house.

“no problem! uh...”

“minjeong. my name’s kim minjeong..” her soft voice spoke again.

“ah! so you’re korean too! i’m yn, kang yn! nice to meet you, minjeong.” you switched to speaking korean, extending your hand. and in that split second, you both somehow knew you’d quickly become inseparable friends.

“don’t go anywhere without me, okay? yunjin’s gang is known to be… well, you saw, right?” you shrugged, making sure minjeong was safely inside her house before heading back home.

“whoa, dropping off your girlfriend, huh?” your nosy sister (who was about to leave for her evening class) teased when you got home.

“no! just a friend. besides, i’m old enough to get mom’s permission to date, right, mom? i’m fifteen this year.” your mom just hummed in agreement.

the next day, as you requested, minjeong waited for you in front of her house to walk to school together. “morning, minjeong!!” you waved your hand energetically with your full energy at the early hour.

at school, you didn’t run into yunjin’s gang; your classes were on completely different floors. they were in class F, while you were in class B—not bad for someone a little lazy. unfortunately, minjeong hadn’t taken her class placement test yet and was temporarily assigned to class F. when you learned this, you were worried to death, but minjeong assured you she’d be fine, so, reluctantly, you let go of her arm—and you swore you heard yunjin’s gang’s mocking laughter.

at lunch, you let your friends know not to wait for you in the cafeteria since you’d brought lunch from home, and then you sprinted to minjeong’s classroom. “minjeong-ah! let’s eat lunch together!” you yelled unashamedly, causing a teacher passing by to jump a little. you both picked a spot under a big tree near the soccer field to have lunch together. “how’s class? did yunjin’s gang bother you?”

“no, i threatened them. told them i’d make them pay if they messed with me. i told them i was actually a taekwondo expert, and they didn’t dare touch me.” you burst out laughing at minjeong’s story, “ha! oh my god! my stomach hurts! they’re so gullible?” wiping tears from your eyes.

and so went your high school days, with minjeong—who quickly became close to your group—you, ningning, and kazuha, though you ended up closer to minjeong because of how close you lived. sleepovers, movie nights, and study sessions filled your evenings—and your sister’s pranks. you didn’t realize it then, but your understanding of home started to change because of the person eating ice cream beside you.

winter passed by quickly, and summer came with all its love stories. minjeong, who was once calm and gentle, began to pick up some of your traits, cheerful and spirited. once again, you found yourself in minjeong’s room.

“got any plans for summer break?” you asked, lying on her bedroom floor while she sat on her bed, playing her nintendo.

“uhuh, spending it with you.” it happened again, your heart rate suddenly spiking, and your face flushing red, “i mean— to, uh… what are you planning to do?” you stopped fanning yourself.

“i dunno, whatever you wanna do, i’m in.”

turns out she wasn’t lying. you decided to help at a local eel farm for harvest season! minjeong, who absolutely hates eels, hesitantly dipped her feet into the muddy pond full of eels, and as soon as one coiled around her ankle, she screamed and fell right in (in the end, you were the only one helping with the harvest, but at least minjeong agreed to forgive you and keep you company under the shade of a tree after you bought her two handfuls of ice cream). with clothes full of mud, you two spend the rest of the day cycling through the entire village—with minjeong being your passanger princess. a few days later, you both visited some high school festivals with food stalls and arcades before attending the big event together with your families—the tanabata star festival.

“are you ready?” your dad's head popped in from the front door. he and your mom were wearing matching yukatas, as was your sister with her girlfriend giselle, and you...

“minjeong!!!” after getting out of your respective cars, you quickly returned to minjeong's side, linking arms with her.

“remember, you need to be back by 9 sharp if you don’t want to walk home alone,” your mom reminded you again.

and so began the great snacking adventure at the stalls with minjeong! you started with classic food, takoyaki. the steaming, round snacks tempted you to eat them, and you devoured them hot. minjeong reached out her hand, and you reflexively spit a round piece of takoyaki into her palm. she tossed it into the nearest trash can and washed her hands three times with soap before you both bought melon soda at the adjacent stall. after that, the tanabata star festival wouldn’t be complete without playing goldfish scooping and shooting games! you successfully got the teddy bear you wanted, but seeing minjeong's disappointed face when she couldn’t win the bunny plush she desired, you decided to trade yours for it.

“what did you write for your wish?” the night grew late, and the fireworks show was about to start. even though it was already 9:30, you and your sister agreed to go home together in your dad's car after your parents were too tired to continue and headed home first. “you better not turn on do not disturb!” your sister shouted before her girlfriend pulled them away for a photo.

“...it's a secret.” minjeong covered her tanzaku paper.

“hey, i gave you my red tanzaku!” ah, there it was; your childish side hadn’t fully faded yet.

“fine, but show me yours too.”

bingo. minjeong wrote, ‘i hope i can always be with yn,’ and you wrote, ‘i hope minjeong can always be with me.’ you quickly exchanged your papers and then laughed awkwardly—at least you got the green light. after hanging your tanzaku on the large bamboo tree, you climbed a hill a bit away from the crowd, spread out a blanket, and laid out the food.

you sat under the starry night sky, enjoying the scattered lantern lights around the festival. minjeong glanced at you, who was busy finishing the takoyaki you had earlier—both of you had agreed to eat while sitting. after a moment, minjeong smiled and began to tell a story.

“you know, yn?” minjeong started, her voice soft, almost like a whisper. “this tanabata festival actually has a really romantic story. it’s about two stars, ori-hime and hiki-boshi… they are a couple living in two different worlds, separated by a great river called ama-no-gawa—which we know as the milky way.”

you paused from putting food in your mouth and looked at minjeong; of course, she knew. your siater’s japanese girlfriend had told her about it at the tanabata star festival three years ago. but you tried to maintain a look of amazement.

“they can only meet once a year, on the night of the tanabata festival,” minjeong continued, gazing at the sky as if searching for the two stars. “that’s why people like to write their wishes on tanzaku, hoping their love can be as strong as ori-hime and hiki-boshi’s. even though they’re separated, they keep looking for each other… they believe that one day in a year is enough to strengthen their love.”

you smiled softly, a bit shy. “that sounds like an unforgettable love story.”

minjeong nodded slowly, then looked at you with a gentle gaze. “yeah… there’s something beautiful about people who are willing to wait, right? they both remain strong and faithful, even though they have to be apart for so long.” minjeong paused for a moment, as if savoring her own words. “maybe true love doesn’t always have to be together every day. sometimes, just waiting for each other and believing that in the end, they will meet again is enough.”

you felt your heart race at minjeong’s words. slowly, you smiled as if you understood the hidden meaning behind the story. you both looked up at the sky again, each with a wish tucked away in your hearts (which were actually the same).

as the moments leading up to the fireworks display drew closer, the atmosphere around you became increasingly tense and filled with anticipation. the sound of people whispering filled the air, while the lanterns flickered in the night breeze. minjeong looked at you with sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to express something that had long been buried.

“yn,” she said softly, her voice almost drowned out by the crowd around. “i… i feel like there’s something more between us. ever since the first time we met, my heart has raced whenever i’m with you.”

a gentle smile formed on your face, your heart beating faster. “i feel it too, minjeong. you make me feel comfortable and happy like never before.”

time seemed to stand still as minjeong leaned closer, the distance between you narrowing. the fireworks began to adorn the night sky, bursting forth in stunning colors. in that magical moment, you locked eyes, ignoring the commotion around you.

“do you want to share our wishes tonight?” minjeong asked, her face trembling with hope and tension.

“of course, i do,” you replied, feeling your heart race with excitement. before you realized it, the fireworks exploded above you, casting bright lights that made the night even more dazzling. amidst the cheers and awe surrounding you, minjeong leaned in and gently touched your face before her lips found yours in a soft, heartfelt kiss. as the fireworks erupted in the sky, their colorful lights created the perfect backdrop for that moment—the moment when two hopeful hearts finally united.

after that night, you officially became the subject of teasing in your household. returning home with slightly messy lip tint, both of you were immediately put on the spot by karina and giselle in the car. “did you just kiss?” checkmate. no one dared to speak, but your flushed cheeks answered their question. your parents of course knew right away because the first rule in the house was: ask for permission if you want to date! and it shouldn’t affect your grades.

but oh, it’s true that summer and seventeen are inconvenient times to fall in love. your dad was reassigned to the us after spending 19 years in japan. three months before your departure back to the us, he finally told you. it was the first major fight.

after hearing the news about your father's move to the us, you feel worry creeping into your heart. mixed emotions fill your mind—happy for newfound love, but also afraid of loss. that night, you decide to talk to your mother in the kitchen, a place that has always felt comfortable for you.

“mom,” you say, your voice soft. “what should i do? we're leaving, and i… i don’t know what will happen with minjeong.”

your mom pauses for a moment, looking at you gently. “honey, i know how you feel. love can be strong, even when separated by distance. i experienced something similar with your father back then.” she reminisces, a nostalgic look filling her eyes. “we had to communicate, trust each other, and do our best to stay connected. love won’t disappear just because of distance.”

her words offer a little relief, but the worry still lingers in your mind. after that conversation, you feel a bit calmer. and surprisingly, minjeong doesn’t even cry when you tell her about the news—or perhaps she’s just accustomed to staying calm in all situations.

the night before your departure, minjeong takes you to your favorite spot, where the night sky is filled with stars. there, she has a little surprise for you.

“yn, i want to give you something,” she says, pulling out a beautifully decorated tanzaku paper. “this is our hope for the future.” you open the paper and read: ‘may we always be together, no matter the distance that separates us.’

your heart races as you see it. “minjeong, this… means so much.”

minjeong then gives you a small bracelet made of colorful threads. “this is a reminder for you, so you know i’m always with you, no matter where we are.”

you both exchange warm hugs, feeling the emotional moment as the stars shine above.

“can we write letters to each other? even though we can also text every day...” you suggest, the idea making you feel more at ease.

“of course,” minjeong replies with a smile. “every month we’ll exchange letters. it’ll be our tradition.”

as you write down your hopes and dreams on the paper, the atmosphere feels full of warmth and love. when the letters are exchanged, you feel the bond between you grow stronger. even though distance will separate you, you believe this love can endure.

but oh, you are wrong again. in the early years, you and minjeong did exchange messages every day, writing to each other every month, but suddenly all that stopped. you both got busy with your respective studies, especially with graduation day approaching. you, studying law, were busy helping to handle cases at the firm where you interned.

time passed, and the messages that once filled your days began to dwindle. at first, you hoped everything would be okay, but without realizing it, distance and busyness gnawed at your relationship. the longing was there, but no words came out. one day, as you returned to the city where you first met during your semester break to visit your sister who continued her studies and lived with her girlfriend there, you decided to visit the famous tanabata festival again. the atmosphere felt nostalgic, reminding you of all the beautiful memories with minjeong. you almost wanted to call her but changed your mind, wanting to surprise her by picking her up on the bicycle you used to ride to the eel farm. even though your relationship over the past two years was unclear, your status was still girlfriends—or at least that’s what you thought, and you hoped to see her (hoping those feelings still existed).

upon arriving at the festival, the lively and festive atmosphere reminded you of the moments with minjeong. you strolled around, observing the lanterns shimmering in the night, hoping to feel her presence. suddenly, your ears caught sound of a familiar chuckle.

minjeong.

she stood near the bamboo tree, surrounded by a crowd, but something was different. as you approached closer, your heart raced. minjeong looked radiant in a beautiful dress, her face is still pretty as ever but the lines of her face have grown to be more... mature.

“i feel like i’ve known you forever! you’re so easy to be around.” she said as she laughed with someone standing beside her, your heart felt a deep ache. it felt like time stopped for a moment as you stared at her. however, as her gaze shifted to the person beside her, you felt something was off. when she reached out for the person’s cheeks, you finally noticed the sparkling ring on her finger. ah, you were too late, it seemed. you’re pretty sure that the tanzaku you and minjeong once wrote were still hanging at the tree because look, you are together right now. how funny, you should’ve been more specific. you turned around with a chuckle, decided to go home and pack for the earliest flight to US. unbeknownst to you, minjeong catch glimpses of you when you were stopping by the kiosks. she made a mental note to visit you after she’s done with her date.

as minjeong and her ‘date’ wrapped up their evening, her thoughts kept drifting back to that glimpse of you she'd caught at the kiosks. she couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something was left unsaid, unfinished. after parting ways, she decided she couldn’t wait any longer and headed straight to your place.

meanwhile, you’d already started packing (karina was at her girlfriend’s). the memories were overwhelming, and each item you placed in your suitcase felt like a little piece of the life you were leaving behind. just as you zipped up your suitcase, you heard a familiar knock on your door. surprised, you hesitated, debating whether you should ignore it. but then you remembered her smile, the tanzaku you’d both written, and the promises whispered under the stars. with a sigh, you opened the door.

there she stood, slightly out of breath, eyes searching yours. she seemed hesitant, almost as if she was second-guessing herself.

“are you…going somewhere?” she asked, her voice soft as usual.

you nodded, trying to keep your composure. “the earliest flight to the US,” you replied. a moment of silence passed between you, filled with all the things neither of you had said. her gaze dropped to the ring on her finger, then back to you.

“look, i…didn’t know how to tell you,” she whispered, the weight of the moment evident in her tone. “but when i saw you today, something just…clicked. i couldn’t stop thinking about us, and how we were—”

you cut her off gently, a bittersweet smile on your face. “you don’t owe me anything, minjeong. i’m happy for you. really, i am.”

but she stepped closer, not letting you finish. “maybe not, but i owe myself the truth. and the truth is…there’s been someone i’ve been seeing since you left-” she glanced down, biting her lip as if debating whether to say more.

“then why did you…” your voice faltered as you glanced down at her ring, a painful reminder of how things had turned out.

“i was- i love you yn, but it’s hard for me to consistently giving love to someone who’s not present.” she admitted, her voice barely a whisper. her eyes searched yours, guilt and longing all wrapped into one.

frankly speaking, you wanted to beg for her to love you one more time, you want to throw that ring across the continents but you two remained silent. your gaze fell down as you told her, “i loved you too, kim.”

kim minjeong was your home after all.

girlfriend!karina x fem!reader

synopsis: yn joins karina and her family on their first vacation together. as they explore osaka and share playful moments, yn finds herself falling for karina. a heated kiss in a hot tub takes their connection to the next level, but their moment is hilariously interrupted, leaving them both embarrassed yet closer than ever.

warnings: they make out and got caught; the tension is craaazyy; intended lowercase; mild choking.

a/n: i'm bored in class so here i am writing a fic about two dorks in love🥰 (i'm single af)

the airport buzzed with excitement as travelers hurried to their destinations. you stood nervously, scanning the crowd for familiar faces. this trip was a first for you—your first vacation with karina and her family. your own family was far too busy to join you, making this a chance to step out of your comfort zone.

finally, you spotted karina, her radiant smile lighting up the room. she waved enthusiastically, and your heart skipped a beat. as you approached, you noticed her family was with her, looking just as welcoming.

“hey, yn! i’m so glad you could come!” karina exclaimed, pulling you into a warm embrace. the warmth of her hug made your worries melt away, and you felt your cheeks flush slightly. you returned the embrace, feeling a sense of belonging in this moment.

the journey to osaka was filled with laughter and chatter, with karina sharing stories about her family and her favorite places in the city. as you strolled through the streets, your heart swelled with happiness at simply being with her. you admired the way her eyes sparkled with excitement, each smile making you fall a little harder.

the days in osaka were a whirlwind of adventure. the aquarium was a highlight for you, and you found yourself lost in wonder as you marveled at the vibrant sea life. your eyes lit up every time you spotted a colorful fish or a playful otter. karina noticed, her own face lighting up at your enthusiasm. she leaned in closer, her voice a soft whisper as she pointed out the creatures swimming by.

you exchanged glances, and in those moments, words felt unnecessary. the joy in your hearts filled the silence.

after a few days, you made your way to fujinomiya for a day of fruit picking. the fresh air invigorated you as you approached the apple orchards. the sight of the towering trees filled you with anticipation, and a playful pout formed on your lips.

“i want to pick apples, but that gorilla got to have you on its lap before i did,” you teased, crossing your arms dramatically and pretending to sulk. karina chuckled, her laughter like music to your ears.

“oh, come on baby. it’s just a silly gorilla.” she replied with a playful roll of her eyes. you both continued to joke and laughed as you spent the day picking apples, but you couldn’t really focus on the job when karina reached up an apple at a higher place, towering over you. nearly fell, you quickly catches your hat, holding onto karina’s arm.

“ooh, careful baby,” karina replied as she placed your hat back on. after a fun-filled day in the orchard, it was time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. you and karina sat side by side on the edge of the gazebo, while karina's family gathered in the middle.

"first to peel 5 clementines wins!" karina announced without warning. but watching her furrow her brows in concentration made you pause. this girl had so many sides that made you fall in love with her over and over again. karina's mom captured the moment on her phone—karina would tease you about it later, but both of you knew she was just as down bad for you.

when you arrived at the cozy accommodation—where you and karina shared a room—you decided to relax in the hot tub provided. after only 10 minutes of closing your eyes, you feel something heavy on your lap. "see? you got to have me in your lap with this gorgeous swimsuit." after karina said that, you didn't dare to look down—you can be sure that your cheeks are tinged with red.

"this is nice," karina leaned her head against your shoulder, her lips coming into contact with your neck briefly as she bobbed her head. you nodded in response. with the hot steam evaporating into the air, the desire to kiss karina grew even greater.

you shifted slightly, making karina move her head away from your shoulder to look up at you. "you're so beautiful," tension filled the air between you before you inched closer, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. it started soft, a brush of warmth, but as you melted into the moment, the kiss deepened. your hands found their way to her waist, pulling her closer. karina responded with equal intensity, her fingers trailing up to your neck—squeezing it lightly.

the kiss grew more heated, the sensation of her pressed against you sends a jolt of electricity all over your body. you pulled back for a breath, only to have her lips follow yours, hungry and eager. you both laughed softly in the midst of it, caught up in the moment.

just as things were getting even more intense, you heard a throat clear from behind you. your heart nearly stopped as you quickly pulled away from karina, eyes wide with shock. standing at the doorway was karina’s mother, her arms crossed put a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “well, well, what do we have here?” she teased, clearly hiding her amusement.

“i was just coming to see if you girls wanted to join us for the movies, but it looks like that you’re... occupied.”

“we were just... uh, talking.” you stammered, though karina’s swimsuit, the redness on both of your face, and the way you were still sitting close in the tub told a different story.

karina’s mother just laughed lightly, shaking her head. “relax, i’m not mad.” she glanced at karina, still hiding her face in embarrassment. “just try not to drown while you’re... you know, ‘talking.’”

“mom!” karina groaned again, finally peeking out from behind her hands, looking mortified beyond belief.

“okay, okay, i’m going. just wanted to check in on you two,” her mother added, clearly enjoying the situation far more than karina did. “have fun, girls. but don’t stay out too long.” with that, she gave a knowing smile and walked away, leaving you both in stunned silence.

karina slowly sank down even further into the water, her entire face still flushed. “oh my god. i can’t believe that just happened.”

you, still recovering from the shock, let out a nervous laugh. “i guess... at least she wasn’t angry?”

karina let out a groan, her head dropping against the edge of the hot tub. “i’ll never live this down.”

“well, it could’ve been worse,” you offered, nudging her lightly. “at least she didn’t, like, sit down and start giving us advice.”

karina shot you a horrified look before both of you burst into laughter, the tension dissolving into a shared moment of humor. even though the embarrassment still lingered, you could feel the closeness between you growing, the awkwardness of being caught somehow making the moment even more memorable.

“next time,” karina mumbled between giggles, “we need to lock the door.”

yes👺
