buss it down
Request: Could you do an NCT reaction (any subunit) to their s/o being scared of the dark and panicky at night? Thanks loves!
Taeyong:
“Don’t worry sweetheart, I’m here.” – an actual angel and will take care of you, making sure you don’t feel uncomfortable.
Doyoung:
“Is there anything I can do to ease you, baby?” – Cuddles? Hot Chocolate? Night Lights? Don’t worry! This little sweetheart has it all sorted.
Taeil:
“Don’t worry, beautiful - I’ve got it all under control.” - Taeil will probably hunt fairy lights from somewhere, if he cant find any he’s going to take a trip to the store and make sure to find you some. He doesn’t want you scared of the dark.
Mark:
“Lets get you a flash light… and some cuddles - to keep you safe.” He wouldn’t really know much on what to do so he’s going to ask his hyungs what would be the best option in this situation, bad idea. So he just resorts to warm milk, dimmed lights and cuddling you until you fall asleep.
Ten:
“I’m not scared of the dark, you are. – wait. we both are…” Yeah you’re pretty much doomed here, this little bundle of love is scared of pretty much anything so you’ll probably be comforting him more than he’s comforting you.
Jaehyun:
“Do you want any snacks? how about a flashlight? you want to build a pillow fort and put some lights in there?” – Jaehyun is high-key concerned about this, so he’ll do anything to keep you feeling comfortable. What a keeper.

“Hyung!” The chime of the bell that hung over the front door sounded, and Moon Taeil looked up from cutting the rose thorns to see a younger boy entering the flower shop, skidding to a stop in front of him.
“Don’t you have school, Jeno?” He wiped his hands on the white smock that was layered atop his casual clothes, ruffling the younger’s hair affectionately. Jeno smiled sheepishly, embarrassed to be caught ditching.
“I just dropped by to tell you that Jaemin and I won’t be taking over your shift later. There’s a big exam coming up and we need to study for it,” he mentioned. The wide group of high school and college-aged boys that he was part of ran a flower shop to rake in extra cash, taking shifts as they juggled school, uni and having a part-time job.
“All the more reason for you to be in school,” Taeil sighed, frowning, “What about the rest of the dream boys?”
“We’re all having exams this week.”
“And the rest?”
“Johnny and Ten hyung went to Chicago, Taeyong and Jaehyun hyung are working on their projects, Yuta hyung’s having a date tonight, Hansol hyung and Doyoung hyung’s cramming for their exams too,” Jeno answered simply, “Winwin hyung and Kun hyung have plans later.”
Taeil crinkled his nose in distaste, “Well, thanks for telling me. I’ll take the extra shift later. Make sure you study well, Jeno.”
Jeno nodded enthusiastically, already waving goodbye and running out the front door with an enunciated farewell. Taeil straightened his back, stretching before walking behind the counter to relax for a bit. He had a long day ahead of him, and he might as well do so.
He plopped down on the comfortable chair provided, suddenly feeling sleepy. A five-minute nap couldn’t hurt. His eyes were already fluttering shut, ready to doze off to dreamland. However, that was when the bell of the front door chimed once more. He didn’t bother to open his eyes before saying, “Did you forget something, Jeno?”
The only response he got was the sound of someone slapping something on the counter in a pissed manner. His eyes opened to see a 20,000 won bill in front of him, and the prettiest girl he’d ever seen standing on the other side. You had the sweetest, most poisonous smile on your face, fiery eyes and hair slightly messy in the most perfect manner. In an instant he stood up, clearing his throat as his cheeks flushed red in both embarrassment and awe.
“Excuse me,” you started, a melodic lilt to your voice that made Taeil do a nervous gulp, “But how do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?”
He did a double take, a little bewildered, “Excuse me?”
“Please, just answer the question,” you ran a hand through your hair, sighing through your lips, “It’s just that- my brother’s an ass and he left me here while going on a vacation without telling me. I just want him to have a little welcome present when he gets back tomorrow morning.”
“O-Oh,” he pinched his hand lightly in order to control the onslaught of color on his cheeks and get a grip on himself, “I’m sorry to hear that.”
“Well,” you gave an elegant shrug, and Taeil’s completely forgot how to breathe. He stepped around the counter and walked around the shop, you trailing behind him and peering over his shoulder as he picked out the flowers.
“You’ll want wild tansies to represent that you declare war against him, along with dodders to say that there’s something lacking between you and your brother,” he murmured, gathering the flowers in his hand.
“There’s something certainly lacking in that head of his,” you snorted softly. Taeil cracked a smile.
“We can put in red balsams for impatience, cyclamen for separation and geraniums for stupidity,” he turned around to face you, sending you an assuring smile, “I’ll wrap these up for you.”
“Thanks,” the fire in your eyes had softened to something akin of curiosity, “It’s cool how you have them all memorized.”
“It’s easy if you put your heart to it. I have nothing better to do in this sodding shop anyways,” he noticed the easygoing twinkle in your eyes, and he pinched his arm once to control the flushing in his cheeks and neck. He probably looked like a tomato at this point. He diverted his eyes from you to focus on tying the bouquet, wrapping them delicately and switching their positions so they looked pleasing to the eye before handing them to you, “H-Here.”
“How much will it be?”
“No charge,” upon seeing the widening of your eyes, he rushed to continue, “I mean – I – you seem upset so you could probably use the twenty thousand won to buy some comfort food or-“
“You’re cute, Taeil-ssi,” your eyes darted to the nametag on his smock. You let out a small huff of laughter, amused, “Keep the twenty thousand won anyway. Will you still be here tomorrow?”
“Y-Yes,” he answered without thinking.
“Well then, I’ll see you tomorrow,” you were halfway out the door before he could say anything else, giving him a playful wave, “Have a nice evening, Taeil-ssi.”
“You too,” he answered weakly, plopping down his chair. Tomorrow was certainly going to be eventful.
Taeil didn’t want to admit it, but he was anticipating your presence ever since he walked in the shop. He had taken over Yuta’s shift because of his ridiculous slip-up, and he could only hope to not embarrass himself any further in front of you. Yuta already had enough suspicious with his sudden eagerness to work, but was grateful enough for it anyway. He distracted himself by rearranging the pansies and watering the flowers, making sure they all had his equal attention before sweeping the floors off of leaves and dust that had accumulated since morning.
The streets were empty, mostly due to the scalding weather outside. Even though fall was supposed to be on it’s way, it seemed that the skies decided to push the last of the season’s heat today. Anyone would be crazy to walk out in this kind of hot spell. This made for little to no customers coming in to buy flowers, which in turn made Taeil extremely bored. Taeyong and Johnny had pulled out the weeds and fertilized the flowers during their noon shift, so that left him with virtually nothing to do.
The minutes ticked by. Taeil felt himself growing more restless as time passed, and eventually decided that you wouldn’t be coming. Not under this hot weather, anyway. He still had 45 minutes until his shift ended. He sat himself down and folded his hands on the counter, resting his head on them. Within seconds, he was already off into dreamland.
Taeil didn’t know how long he dozed off for. Twenty minutes, half an hour? He heard the bell chime and decided to ignore it, thinking that it was Doyoung coming in to take over his shift.
“Taeil-ssi?”
His head shot up in surprise, looking up to see your profile. You were holding a bouquet of flowers in your arms, a little hesitant in waking him up. He quickly wiped an arm across his mouth to hide any traces of drool and stood up so fast he almost knocked the chair over. It was apparent that his soul hadn’t returned to his body yet, because he banged his hip to the counter in his haste, the sound echoing in the store. His mouth opened an ‘o’ of shock and pain, a hand holding the most likely bruised area. In an instant, you were by his side, pressing your hand against his atop his hip as if to make it better.
“Oh my god, are you okay? That was a nasty hit,” you fretted over him, your voice holding concern. Taeil nodded, biting his lip to withstand the pain.
“Y-Yeah, I’m fine,” he winced at the slight crack of his voice, clearing his throat. It was then that he suddenly noticed your hand on his and the proximity of your faces – he felt his cheeks warm to the point where he was convinced he looked like a lobster. You pulled away, worry evident in your eyes.
“Make sure you’re more careful of yourself next time.”
He then noticed what you were wearing – due to the hot weather outside, you donned a frilly, off-the-shoulder white top paired with light blue jeans. He felt like he could faint from the sight. Too late, Taeil thought. He was already too far in with this stupid crush of his.
It was then that embarrassment hit Taeil – his cheeks turned redder (if possible), all too aware of the pregnant silence in the air, “So what did your brother say about the flowers?”
“Oh,” you let out a light laugh that took his breath away, grabbing the bouquet of flowers you brought with you from the counter, “Well, he didn’t specifically say anything, since I’m giving him the silent treatment. He left these by my bed, though. I was going to ask you what they mean.”
You handed the flowers over to him, which Taeil grabbed and examined. Hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils – all meaning one thing.
“He’s asking you to forgive him,” his lips quirked up in a smile. Your brother sure had a way with the ladies, communicating with flowers and all. He seemed to be well versed in the language.
“You bet,” you huffed, “After that stunt he pulled, it’s a wonder I’ve even forgiven him at all. I still want to tell him he’s stupid, though. Have you got any flowers for that?”
“Y-Yeah,” he stepped away from the counter and began making his way around the shop, with you trailing behind him. Willing the blood away from his cheeks, he cleared his throat once more and started with the bouquet.
“Geraniums for stupidity, yellow carnations for disdain, black eyed susans for justice, peonies for anger, and finally, chrysanthemums for honesty,” he turned around, finding you already looking at him. He mustered up a small smile, flustered, “I’ll wrap these up for you.”
You snapped to attention, red dusting your cheeks at the embarrassment of being caught staring at him, “O-Oh, of course.”
You stepped out of the way and Taeil walked back to the counter, grabbing some wrapping paper and sorting the flowers out so the colors were pleasant to the eye.
“Hey, Taeil-ssi, isn’t it kind of unfair that I know your name and you don’t know mine?” He looked up at you and found you smiling at him, which did nothing to quell his fluttering heartbeat, “I’m (Y/N).”
“Well, (Y/N), these flowers are on the house then,” he mentioned. Your eyes widened, insisting that you pay for them, “R-Really. You can use the money for buying ice cream with the hot weather outside, or something…”
“Are you sure?” You weren’t convinced, ready to pull out your wallet at any time now.
“Positive,” he tied the bouquet and handed them to you, which you took gratefully.
“Will you still be here tomorrow then, Taeil-ssi?”
Automatically, he nodded. You gave him a beaming smile, which nearly turned him into a puddle. With a “See you tomorrow, Taeil-ssi!” and a wave, you turned around and left the shop.
Not five minutes later, the bell chimed once again. Doyoung strolled in, raising an eyebrow at the red-tinted cheeks of the elder.
“What’s up with you, hyung?”
“Do you think Johnny would let me take over his shift tomorrow?”
Taeil walked into the flower shop, greeting Ten behind the counter. He made his way to the back, putting his bag down in the staff room and grabbing one of the white smocks that hung on the wall. Ten walked in as he rummaged through his bag for his phone.
“Isn’t it Johnny’s shift today, hyung?” He asked, already untying his own smock and hanging it on the wall. Taeil’s fingers brushed the corner of his phone, and he dug his hand deeper before pulling it out triumphantly. He quickly shoved it in his pocket.
“I’m taking over for him today. He’s taking over mine for Monday.”
“Huh,” Ten remarked, “I’ll chill here first, then, hyung. I have plans and I don’t want to arrive there too early.”
With a noise of agreement, Taeil walked out of the staff room to find that you was already there. The evening light illuminated the shop with an almost ethereal-like glow, and you gazed on each and every corner of the shop in a wonderlike state. He stood there, frozen, unsure of what to do. The staff room door swung closed behind him with a loud click, and you turned to look at him. A smile instantly blossomed on your face, and you greeted him with a wave.
“Hi, Taeil-ssi!”
He broke out of his reverie, raising his hand in a shy greeting, “H-Have you and your brother made up yet?”
“I haven’t gotten any flowers from him yet today, actually,” you shrugged, “But I do feel kinda bad for yesterday. I’m thinking I should stop messing with him. Can I get a bouquet saying that I forgive him?”
“Sure,” he stepped forward and walked around the store, grabbing what he needed, “Daffodils to represent new beginnings, hydrangeas for heartfelt emotions and gratitude for being understood, and finally, white clovers to represent that you still love him despite his actions.”
He looked at you from the corners of his eyes, catching you staring at him once more. Your cheeks held a rosy hue, and Taeil had to quell the blood rising to his own cheeks.
“T-That’s perfect,” you cleared your throat, and he walked over to the counter to wrap it up. You followed behind him, watching him work, “Are you always this passionate about flowers and their meanings?”
“I mean, it’s a hobby of mine. It’s certainly interesting to learn about,” he let out a small huff of laughter, “Why?”
“Well…” you bit your lip, averting your eyes in an almost shy way. The pink dusting your cheeks deepened in color, and Taeil had to withhold a squeak, “If you didn’t mind, I was about to ask you if we could meet up outside the shop so you could teach me about it?”
Taeil froze, all the blood rushing up to his cheeks, “I – uh –“
A loud click sounded. Both you and him turned to see Ten walking out of the staff door, jacket slung over his shoulder as he held his bag in hand. He also froze, eyes zeroing in on you before they narrowed.
“What are you doing here?”
“Me? What are youdoing here?” You clapped back, crossing your arms over your chest in an annoyed manner. Taeil gazed between the two of you confusedly, no doubt wondering how you knew each other.
“Iworkhere! I thought you knew that!” Ten scowled. You scowled right back.
“And I thought you knew I’ve always wanted to go to Chicago! “
Taeil cut in, a bewildered look on his face as his eyes flitted between you and Ten, “Wait, he’s your brother? You’re her sister, Ten?”
“As luck has it,” you answered, scowl disappearing in an instant as you turned to face him, “So what do you say, Taeil-ssi? The coffee shop down the street at five tomorrow?”
“I – yes, that’d be great?” The last statement came out as more of a question rather than an affirmative. Regardless, your whole face lit up.
“Don’t worry about the flowers – my brother’ll pay for them. Take them out of his salary or something,” you winked at Taeil, turning him into a blushing mess. You spun on your heel, walking out with a wave, “I’ll see you tomorrow, then, Taeil-ssi – it’s a date!”
Ten choked.
cr. gif not mine unless stated!
Y/n does not get to spend her morning cuddling up to Taeil. But instead spends it helping Haechan figure out his love life and does a little trip down memory lane.
Part of the long term couples series.
Rolling over in the bed you reach out for your boyfriend but come up empty. Cracking one eye open you frown at the empty space where he should be. Closing your eyes again you debate if you want to go in search of him or hope that he’ll return to his bed soon.
As you’re laying there debating getting out of bed you hear the sound of running feet outside of Taeil’s bedroom door. The sound stops outside his door and is followed by knocking on his door and Haechan calling out to you.
“Y/n Noona are you in there? I need to talk to you it’s important,” groaning you sit up and tell him to come in.
Haechan waste no time in flinging the door open and launching himself across the room and into the bed. He snuggles into you and leans his head on your shoulder. Your hand instantly finds its way into his hair. You gently run your fingers through his hair.
“What’s going on Hyuck?” You question as he sits quietly beside you.
“I think I have a crush but I’m not sure,” he whispers like if he were to say it out loud that would make his feelings real. Where if they were barely heard then he could keep them at bay.
“You think you have a crush, or you do?” You prod.
“I don’t know,” Hyuck whines while kicking his feet about like a little child and curling further into you, “how did you know you liked hyung?”
You think about that for a while. How did you know that you liked Taeil? You think back to when you had first met him at the park. You were out walking your neighbor’s dog and he had gotten lose on you and ran towards Taeil. Was that when you had first liked him or was it the meet ups after that, or your first date?
“I’m not sure I think from the start I always had a crush on him and as we spent more time together my feelings for him grew.” You admit.
“Did it feel different when you first saw him? Like you just knew that this person wasn’t going to be like any of the other people that you’ve met before.” Your hand pauses in Haechans hair as you think back to the first time you saw Taeil.
It was different from all the other meetings you’ve had with other people. When he had looked up at you with his warm smile and laughed as he petted your neighbor’s dog you remember one of the first things you thought was that you could listen to that laugh for the rest of your life. That you would never grow tired of hearing it and then he started to talk to you and the conversation between the two of you flowed so easily it was like you two had known each other for forever.
“It was. But I think the feeling I had with Taeil was that it all felt so easy. Like we were always meant to be together, and it just made everything simple and right. Does it feel like that for you?” You glance down at Haechan he’s picking at the comforter as he thinks about it.
“No, it doesn’t feel easy and like we are meant to be. It just feels…warm. I know that sounds weird but when I first saw them to every time after I just get this warm feeling in my chest, and I like it. I feel pulled to them.”
“Sounds like a crush to me,” you confirm “so what are you going to do about it?”
Haechan groans and pulls the covers up over him and rolls away from you whining about how he doesn’t know how to ask someone out. And why does liking someone have to be so difficult. You laugh as he continues on with his little tirade.
That is how Taeil finds the two of you. You are sitting up in bed watching Haechan roll about and whining. Leaning against the door jamb Taeil raises an eyebrow in question. You roll your eyes as if to say it’s Haechan before reaching out and patting his head over the blankets.
“Poor Hyuck here has a crush, and he doesn’t know what to do about it,” you coo as an explanation for Taeil. Haechan sits up and glares over at his hyung.
“How and when did you know you liked Y/n Noona?” Haechan demands. Taeil eyes widen a bit before a smile crosses his face and he straightens up from the door.
“I knew it the moment I saw her chasing after her neighbor’s dog. The feeling I had was more like a push telling me that I needed to get to know this person. That I better not let them go because they were important and were going to mean something special to me.”
You let out a soft sigh and you’re sure that you have a goofy look on your face, but you don’t care because that is one of the sweetest things that you have ever heard Taeil say about you. Haechan from his side of the bed is making gagging noises. You shove him causing him to laugh as he rolls out of the bed.
“You two are disgustingly in love with one another. But surprisingly helpful,” Haechan tells you two as he makes, his way out of your room.
“Glad we could be of service!” You call, “and don’t forget we are leaving at one to look at houses.
Haechan gives a distant okay and you assume that he is heading to the kitchen to see what there is to eat and to ask the others that are dating how they knew they liked their significant other. You turn your attention to Taeil and give him a shy smile. He smiles back and makes his way over to you, leaning down to give you a kiss.
“Are you sure you want to bring him with? You know that he’s going to have an opinion about everything.”
“True but it’ll help him deal with you moving out. He needs this besides maybe he’ll tell us more about this crush he has.” You tell Taeil as you stand from the bed and wrap your arms around Taeils waist and lean in for another kiss.
“My moneys on it being someone from the hospital,” Taeil muses as he leads you out of his room and toward the kitchen.
“I just hope they work out. I’ve never seen him like this before.”
“Me either,” Taeil admits. “Maybe he’ll be lucky and get a relationship like ours.”
You smile up at Taeil and hope that Haechan gets that. As you enter the kitchen you see Haechan bugging Johnny and his girlfriend and whisper to Taeil.
“And hopefully they can handle all that his Hyuck.” Taeil laughs and nods in agreement.
Ten: Johnny has dandruff so what do I do?
Taeil: give him Head and Shoulder
*10 minutes later*
Ten: okay now how do I give him shoulder?
Taeil:I-
