Reader Catches EXO Member Checking Them Out (OT12)
minseok;;
A few knocks on the door draw your attention from the email on your computer screen. “Don’t forget there’s a staff meeting in five minutes,” Minseok says appearing at the doorway of your office. “Thanks for the heads up!” you shoot back and resume typing a response to the client. Consumed by the context of the email, you don’t acknowledge him still lingering by the door.
He silently admires your professionalism, but can’t deny his growing crush on you, contemplating whether to ask you out now or later that day. Being the diligent employee you are, you click send and hastily clear up the desk before standing up and spotting Minseok.
Casting him an inquisitive look, you ask, “Were you standing there the whole time?” His eyes slightly widen in fear of being caught staring at you, but he manages to think of a lie. “I figured I should wait for you since we’re going in the same direction,” he responds nonchalantly, hoping you don’t see past his bluff. “How kind of you,” you reply while smiling and walk out the office with him.
luhan;;
Today is your first day starting a new job at the daycare center. Naturally, you never thought about working with kids, but they always gravitate to you and everyone compliments your caring personality, so this was the perfect opportunity. About twenty minutes pass after drop-off time and a parent comes storming in the hallway carrying their child in their arms.
Luhan sets down his daughter and kisses her forehead before apologizing for the lateness. “I’m so sorry; the traffic was hectic and the passing rainstorm didn’t help either.” Greeting his daughter and holding her hand, you look up and shrug casually, “It’s okay. Life is unpredictable.”
He instantly calms down and realizes he hasn’t seen you in the daycare before. “Are you a new teacher?” “Yes, it’s my first day here,” you confirm and stand up from your crouching position. “How wonderful,” Luhan nods and hums in approval, totally zoning out on what you’re saying while staring at you. You clear your throat attempting to snap him out of his daze.
“You can return in a few hours, sir,” you mention and let his daughter roam the classroom freely, the crayons on a nearby table catching her attention. “Oh, of course!” he replies before walking backwards into a tower of small blocks on the floor. You stifle a laugh and wave him off before walking over to clean the small mess.
kris;;
It’s your first time as a model for the Burberry fashion show. The agency selected you along with a few others to display Kris Wu’s debut collection, an artist quickly rising in stardom. The bustle backstage prevents you from meeting the young artist and you’re whisked away to the makeup chair. Kris sits closely to the runway, his watchful gaze studying every detail on the models’ clothing.
It’s your turn to walk and you maintain composure, staring straight ahead and moving at a steady pace. The clothing adorning your body is one of Kris’s favorite pieces and his eyes stay glued to your form as you approach the end of the runway. You feel him observing you from the sidelines, but ignore the butterflies in your stomach and perfectly execute the walk to backstage.
The interviewer for Vogue stops Kris for a few minutes after the show asking about his collaboration with the fashion line. He passionately describes the process and his input in designing the clothing. However, he spots you in his peripheral vision and watches you walk through a small gathering of people.
Feeling someone’s burning stare, you turn and lock eyes with him, flashing a bright smile before disappearing into the crowd. His words start faltering as he stares at you walking further away. Instead of focusing on his response to the interview, he thinks about ways to bump into you tonight. “What was the question again?” Kris stumbles out and shifts his eyes back to the interviewer.
junmyeon;;
Junmyeon is on another trip exploring as many parts of the world as possible. His tour guide leads the group through a picturesque town, explaining the architecture and history of the area. The group eventually breaks for lunch and he strolls to a cafe nearby reading over the menu before deciding to dine outside.
Coincidentally, you’re also seated with a friend outside sipping on a cold drink to relieve your thirst from the warm weather. Thankfully, the cafe provides some shade to the outside seating area so you can enjoy the scenery while staying cool. Your friend shows you a funny video on their phone causing you to laugh loudly.
This catches Junmyeon’s attention and he glances at you without realizing he’s starting to stare in your direction. He can’t help feeling drawn to your boisterous laugh and bright smile. Your eyes drift around the outdoor seating area before meeting his gaze across the way. He sheepishly smiles and raises his glass towards you, resulting in you raising your own as well with a smile on your lips.
yixing;;
Yixing is one of the best dancers in class, quickly becoming the instructor’s favorite and even taking their place sometimes teaching everyone the chosen choreography for the week. Your moves aren’t terrible but you could use some extra help. He notices your struggle one day and decides to stay behind after class going over the choreography with you.
It’s slightly intimidating at first feeling Yixing’s sharp gaze watching every turn and step you make. After a few more tries, you improve and confidently perform the choreography in front of him. However, you miss a step once you see him start checking you out during the routine.
You try to hide the mistake and continue the routine without saying anything, but Yixing already knows you caught him. Finishing the routine with a perfect ending pose, you patiently await his feedback and drink a bottle of water. He’s rendered speechless at this point after witnessing your grand improvement (and the fact you saw him checking you out so openly). “You have great...balance,” he stumbles out, not completely impressed with his own response.
baekhyun;;
Baekhyun and you have been neighbors for a while, always bumping into each other at random times during the week. Lately he carries around a camera telling you he plans to start a vlogging channel. Sometimes you spot him in the neighborhood walking with his camera in hand, talking animatedly about who knows what.
You decide to go for a jog one day before grabbing lunch with friends. Suddenly, you turn the corner and see Baekhyun crossing the street and strolling down the sidewalk towards you. He ruffles his hair and peers into the camera in hand making sure his appearance is presentable.
Once you approach him, his eyes slowly scan over your figure before meeting your eyes. “Looking good today,” he flirts and continues walking past, not flustered one bit at being caught staring at you.
jongdae;;
After aligning your busy schedules, Jongdae and you find time to grab dinner and catch up. “I finally get to see my best friend!” you yell once he enters the apartment with his own spare key. He beams at you and makes himself comfortable on the couch while you tread back into the bedroom and finish getting ready for the night.
A few minutes pass before you beckon him in your room needing a second opinion on a pair of shoes. Once you tie up the laces, you stand in front of the floor length mirror and adjust your shirt, catching Jongdae checking you out.
With a gasp of surprise, you teasingly ask through the reflection, “Jongdae, were you just giving me the look?” He quickly realizes he can’t lie his way out of this one. Fumbling out an incoherent answer, he nervously runs a hand through his hair. You turn around and walk up to him in the doorway. “It’s not a big deal. I know I’m a great catch,” you wink and playfully bump his shoulder before leading the way out the door.
chanyeol;;
Your university is hosting its monthly star gazing event. Unfortunately, your friends don’t take astronomy class or are booked with other plans so you’re stuck solo tonight. Greeting your professor upon arrival, you wander around the rooftop waiting for more classmates to show up.
It’s a chilly night so you find yourself slightly shivering in a lightweight jacket and sipping on a hot chocolate you ended up buying on the way over. In the meantime, you admire the midnight blue expanse of the sky without noticing someone else admiring you as well.
Your classmate Chanyeol arrived a few minutes before you dressed in a dark gray sweater and eager to search for constellations in the sky. Right now, however, you’re way more interesting to look at. Setting your hot chocolate down on the ledge, you walk up to a telescope and peer through the lens determined to spot a constellation on your own.
After a few minutes of no luck, you huff in frustration and turn to see Chanyeol still staring at you. He coughs awkwardly and looks away obviously flustered about being caught. He never expects to feel a light tap on his shoulder and hear your voice asking for assistance in finding the constellation Cygnus.
kyungsoo;;
Parties are a common scene for Kyungsoo and you to cross paths. Being socialites, the two of you hardly have time to converse, far too busy meeting other important individuals. However, Kyungsoo is determined to speak to you tonight at the company party.
A few hours into the party, neither of you acknowledge each other’s presence because everyone swarms around you two in your respective circles. The conversation shifts to another guest and he uses the opportunity to admire the outfit you chose for tonight’s event.
Zoning out of the conversation in your circle, your eyes drift across the room and meet Kyungsoo’s. Shockingly, he doesn’t look away and sweeps his eyes over your figure. You blink a few times wondering if you’re seeing things correctly, watching him tilt his head towards the bar. Nodding in agreement, you step away from the stuffy environment and get to know each other more.
zitao;;
Tao had no idea what was in store once you two decided to sign up as camp counselors for the summer. Your assigned group was a wild bunch that tired you out from relay races to arts and crafts to campfire songs. Everyone finally settles down for the night lounging around the campfire making s’mores.
The group quickly runs out of chocolate and graham crackers so you race off to get extra. Tao watches you from a distance when the kids are all distracted toasting their marshmallows over the open fire (or so he thought). After cleaning up the site, a girl walks up to you with a scratch on her knee claiming a branch snagged at her skin. Kneeling down, you take out a smiley face band-aid and apply it to her knee gingerly while Tao looks on lovingly.
The other kids gather around and look between you and Tao before singing aloud, “Tao and Y/N sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.” Their singing makes you turn around and look at Tao surprisingly. He flusters at their boisterous singing and signals them to cut it out. This only encourages them to sing louder and he ends up chasing after them, laughter and rapid footsteps filling the night air.
jongin;;
Your breakup was eight months ago, but it’s still okay to mope over it, right? Not to your best friends. They’re tired of seeing you hung up on your ex and plan a blind date. After constant bickering about them meddling in your love life, you finally dress for the date and sit in the restaurant.
Jongin enters the restaurant with a few friends and settles at a table nearby. He notices you sitting alone scrolling through your phone and assumes you’re waiting for someone. He ogles at you from afar and ignores his friends’ conversation. One of them sees Jongin checking you out and nudges the others to look at the scene unfolding before them.
“Why don’t you go and say hello instead of staring at them?” his friend asks loudly, calling your attention and causing you to look at Jongin. He quickly picks up the menu and averts his eyes to the different meal selections, slightly elbowing his friend and scolding him in a low tone. Laughing to yourself, you continue scrolling on social media and fail to notice him sneak glances at you over the menu.
sehun;;
“Sehun’s crush is here,” snickers one of the employees once their eyes scan the line in the coffee shop and spot you. Sehun is completely unaware that you’re in line today, keeping himself occupied with fulfilling other customers’ orders. Once he finishes making two Americanos, he passes them onto a co-worker and walks up to the counter finding you in front of the line.
“You’re dressed up today,” he says with a small smile after jotting down your order. “I’m going for a job interview pretty soon,” you reply while taking out cash to pay for the coffee. After you step aside to wait for the order and look down at your phone, Sehun gawks at your appearance as he pours coffee into a disposable cup.
You abruptly look up to read the sign for any specials and meet eyes across the work station, resulting in Sehun pouring hot coffee over his hand. Utterly embarrassed yet hissing from the pain, he hurriedly finishes the order and passes it onto a co-worker. You accept it with a gracious smile and peek to wave goodbye at Sehun, but he has his back turned wiping up the spill. Walking out the door, you look at your cup and notice “good luck :)” written on the side.
