Yeon Si-eun x Reader x Ahn Su-ho
Taglist. Masterlist. Progress Update. Love at First Fight Collections.
Summary: Su-ho is late for work, so you all pitch in to help.
“I’m sorry I’m late Emo.” Su-ho spoke as he rushed into the restaurant, bowing as he did so. You stood between Si-eun and Beom-seok. A smile on your face as you watched Su-ho for a moment.
“You’re very late, but you’re here. Have you eaten?” The woman asked as she looked at Su-ho. “Have you eaten?” She asked him curiously. Her eyes shifted to you, and she smiled. “I see you brought you’re better half. How are you, dear?” She asked you.
You let out a laugh as Su-ho pouted. “I’m good. I’m sorry we got here so late.” The woman waved you off with a kind smile. Su-ho shook his head lightly. “I’ll eat later. Okay?”
“You must have had a tough day.”
Su-ho gave a slight nod of his head before he turned to face the three of you. “We’re late because of you two. So, you’ll help out, and then we'll eat. Si-eun, let Baby take care of your hand before you help.”
“Are these your friends?” Emo asked, curiosity clear in her voice.
You nodded with a bright smile. “They sure are. This is Oh Beom-seok, and this is Yeon Si-eun.” After the introductions, Beom-seok gave a bow and nervously said, ‘Hello’. Si-eun quickly copied his action and bowed. You couldn’t help but think of how adorable Si-eun looked right now. You turned to Su-ho, who sent you a soft smile.
You turned back to Si-eun and held a hand out to him, giving him the option to take your hand or not. “Come on, Sweetheart. Let’s get your hand patched up.” There was that nickname again. He was sure you had called him ‘Sweetheart’ more times than his actual name at his point. Though he couldn’t say he minded. He liked the way you said it. He liked the way you called him ‘Sweetheart’ like it was his name. He liked how, when you called him that, it felt like your voice was wrapping around him like a warm, safe blanket. He couldn’t quite understand why it made his stomach flutter, though. Just like he couldn’t understand why locking eyes with Su-ho always made his heart skip a beat.
Si-eun looked at your hand for a moment. Then his eyes fluttered between you and Su-ho. With a small sigh and one last look at your hand, Si-eun slipped his hand into yours and let you lead him away from the others.
—----------------------------------------
Sitting at a table, you had Si-eun’s injured hand in yours. You had just finished cleaning it for him and were starting to wrap it up. Throughout the whole process, you had explained to him exactly what you were doing and why.
Si-eun watched quietly as you worked. It was. The quiet. The feeling of being taken care of. So far, you and Su-ho had shown up for him over and over again. First, during the test. You left your test to check on him. Then, when he beat Yeong-bin, Su-ho stepped in to stop him from making a horrible mistake. You had both tried to be his voice of reason. Then, during the fight, Su-ho had swooped in like some kind of hero. You were here, patching him up. Maybe you were his guardian angels. It seemed like the two of you popped up when he needed you the most.
“How do you know how to do this?” He finally spoke up. His chin nodded towards the first aid box on the table.
You couldn’t help but smile. “Well, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but Su-ho sometimes gets in fights. Some are intentional and some aren’t. But either way, I got tired of seeing him bleeding. So I learnt pretty quickly how to clean and bandage a wound. Sometimes he walks away without a scratch, but other times- ” Your voice trailed off for a moment. You shook your head and finished tending to Si-eun’s hand as you spoke again. “It’s my way of keeping him safe. Of showing him I care. That I’ll be by his side, no matter what.” You smiled softly and turned Si-eun’s hand over so it was palm up.
His eyes drifted towards the locket that sat on your chest. A pretty heart. You always seemed to wear it. Whenever he saw you, the locket was always there too. You smiled when you noticed he was looking at it. You opened it up.
“Su-ho got it for my birthday with some help from my mum. It only has one picture so far. Su-ho said he wanted me to take time adding to it.” The only picture was in the first slot. A picture of you and Su-ho. The two of you wrapped in each other’s arms, your back was lying against Su-ho’s chest, his arms held you, pressing a kiss to your temple as you sat on the sand, the ocean and sunset being the perfect backdrop. It had been a magical day.
“It’s pretty.” Si-eun told you with a small nod of his head. Though he wasn't sure if he meant the locket itself or the picture.
Your heart swelled. “Thank you. Who knows, you might find your way into the locket one day.” You winked. “Right, all done, you were a great patient. Which means you get a lollipop.” You unzipped your bag before pulling out a bag of colourful, heart-shaped lollipops. “I have all the different flavours. Strawberry, cherry, apple, raspberry, blueberry, coconut, orange, watermelon, mango-”
“Is there a flavour you don’t have?” Si-eun asked you with a raised eyebrow. Did you really just carry lollipops around in your bag all day? Of course you did, you were that kind of girl.
You shook your head, flushed a little. “Um, I don’t think so. Oh, I don’t have lime. I ran out after my dad stole the last one.” You shrugged. You opened your bag again and pulled out a bag of only red lollipops. He watched curiously as you pulled out a bright red one. “How about strawberry? It’s my favourite flavour. I don’t let anyone have these, well, except for Su-ho.”
Oh, it was so incredibly sweet of you. You were letting him have your favourite flavour. A flavour that you kept in a different bag from the other lollipops. A flavour that you only let your boyfriend have. He watched as you lifted his hand, placing a soft kiss on his palm before placing the lollipop there. You stood up and placed the rest of the lollipops away. You then cleaned everything up and closed the first aid box.
“I’m gonna go but this way. Why don’t you go and find Su-ho? See what he needs help with? Sound good, Sweetheart?” You asked him curiously.
Si-eun could only nod as he began walking off in the direction he saw Su-ho go. Not once did his grip loosen on the lollipop in his hand. In the hand you had kissed. A silent hope settled in his heart. He wanted a place in your locket.
—----------------------------------------
Si-eun’s first task was to mop the floor. Su-ho had given him the task after noticing the quiet boy coming his way. He, of course, had noticed the lollipop. He made sure to tell Si-eun to make the floors ‘sparkle’ Whilst Si-eun mopped the floor, Beom-seok was washing up in the kitchen with Emo.
Si-eun’s second job was to help Su-ho put away the new bottles on the bridge. Su-ho carried two crates like it was nothing, while Si-eun struggled with the last one. He sat on a chair and handed Su-ho the bottles one by one as Su-ho put them away. From where he sat, Si-eun could see you fluttering around the restaurant. You were a pretty waitress.
“Do you work two jobs every day?” Si-eun asked as he picked up another bottle.
“What?” Su-ho asked, Si-eun’s voice had snapped him out of his own thoughts. “I only deliver food three days a week, not every day.” Su-ho explained as he continued putting the bottles in the fridge.
“Isn’t it hard?”
Su-ho took the next bottle from Si-eun, his hand gripping the middle of the bottle, causing his and Si-eun’s fingers to brush lightly. Su-ho smiled. “It’s no big deal. I work for a moving company on weekends. Why?” He asked curiously, causing Si-eun to finally meet his eyes. There was that smile, still sat on Su-ho’s lips. “Do I seem too mature to you? Or what?” He tossed the bottle up slightly, turning it and catching it by the neck. He then placed it in the fridge. Never once did Si-eun look away. Not until new customers came in.
—----------------------------------------
From his spot at the table, Si-eun watched as you and Su-ho moved in sync, like a well-oiled machine. One cleaned tables while the other brought out food, and one took orders while the other brought drinks. He noticed how whenever the two of you passed one another, you’d touch. A brush of the hands or Su-ho would squeeze your hips, or you’d place a kiss on his cheek. You both smiled at each other and remained professional.
His attention was drawn away from the two of you to Beom-seok. He was apologising for the mock test. Si-eun forgave him. He knew Yeong-bin had threatened Beom-seok. So he chose to move on from the grudge.
“Ah, I’m hungry.” Su-ho spoke as he walked over to the table. He sat down. He patted the space beside him for you. You sat down in the seat between Su-ho and Si-eun. The two males watched Su-ho as he got some lettuce and began to add meat and a few other things. He then folded it and shoved it into his mouth.
“Does it taste better like that?” Beom-seok asked curiously..
Su-ho gave him a thumbs up as he chewed. He then immediately began making one for you. He swallowed his food and looked at you, holding his creation in his hands. “Open up, baby.” You giggled and opened your mouth, letting Su-ho gently shove the food into your mouth. You happily chewed on it, the flavours instantly hitting your taste buds.
“I’ll try it.” Beom-seok said as he made his own. He balled it up and shoved it into his mouth. He smiled and nodded as he chewed it.
“It’s killer, yeah?” Su-ho asked, proud that another person liked his way of eating.
“It’s hot,” Beom-seok spoke. “So hot.” He tried not to laugh since his mouth was full.
You were happily eating your food and taking pictures as Su-ho began making a third one. “Well, dear Si-eun-ssi, wanna try? Meat’s always better when you stuff your mouth and eat it in one bite.” Su-ho spoke up.
"Know that from experience, do you?" You asked your boyfriend in a teasing tone, a grin on your lips.
Su-ho poked you in the side. "Yah! You're such a brat sometimes."
“You can eat it.” Si-eun told him as he focused on the food in front of him.
“Ah, Hey. No one’s ever lost anything from listening to me. So come on now. Mmm? Say ‘Aah’.” He screwed up the lettice held it across you and toward Si-eun.
Si-eun leaned away. “Are your hands clean?”
You couldn’t help but laugh as Su-ho's face dropped in surprise and sight of offence. “What the? … This guy had no idea. Food tastes better this way. All right? It’s okay. ‘Aah. aah!’ Baby can feed you instead if you want? You’ll take a lollipop from her but not this from me. Double standards. Come on, ‘Aha’, Open up. ‘Aah!’ Yeah.”
Si-eun finally opened his mouth as Su-ho leaned over you to get the food closer to Si-eun’s mouth. Su-ho saw the opportunity and shoved the food into Si-eun’s mouth, his fingers pressing against the smaller male’s lips. He pulled away as Si-eun used his tongue to drag some of the lettuce that was on his lips into his mouth. He chewed, never once breaking eye contact with Su-ho.
“It’s good? Awesome, right?” Your boyfriend spoke as he sat up. “Right?” He was smiling brightly, happy that he had gotten Si-eun to try the food his way. It was a victory. And whilst Si-eun said nothing, there was this flicker in his eyes that showed that yes, he did enjoy it. That was enough for Su-ho.
You happily ate your food as you listened to Su-ho and Beom-seok talk.
“The meat is great.”
“It is. Come whenever you want.”
“Can I really?”
“Yeah, of course.”
You looked between the boys. “Hey, pass me your phones and I’ll add mine and Su-ho’s numbers.” You said as you held your hand out to Si-eun and Beom-seok. Beom-seok didn’t even think twice before he gave you his phone. You grabbed your phone and added his number before sending a quick text saying ‘Hi’. You then saved your number in his phone and named your contact with your name. You then did the same with Su-ho’s phone before passing Beom-seok his phone back.
You then turned to Si-eun and smiled sweetly. You held your hand out for his phone. “Pretty please? I'll even download those songs for you as well.”
Su-ho shook his head. "Say no. Once she drags you into her obsession with Stray Kids, there is no escaping. Trust me."
You glared playfully at your boyfriend. "You weren't saying that when you were singing 'Thunderous' in the shower last night or commenting about how pretty Felix is. Admit it, you're a fan."
Si-eun was silent as he watched the two of you for a moment. But he handed his phone over nonetheless. He watched you smile in excitement. He watched you add his number to Su-ho’s phone, saving him as ‘Baby Boy, 🩵’ and send a test. You then saved Su-ho's number in Si-eun’s phone as ‘Guardian Angel ❤ ’.
You then did the same, but with your phone. You saved Si-eun’s number in your own phone as ‘Sweetheart 🩵’ before saving your number in his phone as ‘Pretty Angel 💜’. His eyes widened slightly. You had saved him as Swetheart.
You looked at Si-eun and smiled. You began making a playlist for him of different songs for him to try. Some of your taste, some of Su-ho's and some that you thought would just fit Si-eun. You titled the playlist for him as 'Songs from the Angels.'
“Do you have Instagram?” You asked Si-eun and Beom-seok curiously. You smiled when Beom-seok told you he did.
“No.” You gasped at Si-eun’s words.
“That’s downright criminal. I’m making you an account so you can follow me.” You told him as you downloaded the app on his phone. He should have stopped you. A part of him wanted to, but you seemed so happy, so he let you do it.
It didn’t actually take you long to make Si-eun an account. The first thing you did was follow yourself, Su-ho and Beom-seok. You then took a couple of pictures and posted them as Si-eun’s first post. It was of the four of you, of the food. You made sure to tag yourself, Su-ho and Beom-seok. You then gave Si-eun his phone back.
“If you don’t like it, you can delete the app. Su-ho deleted the app months ago. He only posts on my phone for important days or when I force him to. Otherwise, he’d never touch the app again. I like it, though. It holds a lot of good memories.” You told him as you picked up your phone to make your phone post with the pictures you took of the food, yourself and the boys. You made sure to tag Si-eun in the picture and video of Su-ho feeding him.
The four of you stayed there for a while. Happy, enjoying each other’s company, getting to know each other past names and reputations.
Later that night, Beom-seok looked through your and Su-ho’s Instagrams. Su-ho had worked, leaving your home with a kiss on your forehead, a bento box in hand and the promise to be safe. You fell asleep shortly after his departure, curled up in bed, hugging your Bbokari plush close to your chest. Your Jiniret plush lay in Su-ho's empty space in the bed. Si-eun fell asleep at his desk. he had been studying, though on his phone was the post you had tagged him in. The post he had liked just before drifting off to sleep.
