Some self indulgent, basically plotless moonsun fluff because why would I work on preexisting drafts lmao

Byulyi was very fond of Yongsun, that was obvious to anyone really. Even when they were trainees and they didn't get along much, Byulyi still admired her unnie. As they became closer, she was more open with her affection and made it clear how much she loved her best friend.
Yongsun pretended to get exasperated when Byulyi was particularly grabby, pushing her away or rolling her eyes. She wouldn't initiate skinship and would often shy away from affection in public. Still, that didn't mean she didn't relish in the adoration sometimes.
Public skinship just wasn't her thing, even though she humoured it because she knew it kept Byulyi calm. Nevertheless, She really did love Byul, she had grown to be her best friend and the one person she could trust the most. She often surrendered to the younger woman's insistent backhugs and clinging when they were alone, finding no reason to deny either of them the comfort then.
Even if she brushed off her attention sometimes, Yongsun really did love it. Of course she'd never let Byulyi know just how much she enjoyed being pulled into a casual backhug or her random hand holding. She loved how close they'd grown because it gave her a sense of security and comfort. Yongsun saw how much her best friend adored her and in all honesty it made her heart sing.
She loved their soft moments alone the most. Loved when Byul would tug her into her arms in between performances, hidden in the darkened backstage area away from prying eyes. She adored when they would sit together in the waiting room while waiting to film their scenes in music videos, her head in Byulyi's lap as she played with her hair. She was rather fond of the times when they'd stayed the night together, finding silent reassurance in the warmth of each other's arms.
They weren't dating, not for the longest time. They never explicitly defined their relationship for real. It wasn't about that really. Yongsun knew Byulyi probably had feelings for her and maybe she too felt something more. Their closeness seemed more than platonic that's for sure, but it really didn't matter. They didn't need a label just yet, they were happy just being there for each other's comfort and basking in mutual love in their alone time. They knew they belonged to each other, in whatever sense of belonging one chose to use. To them, all that mattered was the safety they found in each other.
Yongsun never noticed just how happy she was about Byulyi's level of comfort with her. She just new she's grown to adore the way Byul addressed her so fondly. She loved when the honourifics dropped, despite her previous adamance on being seen as a respected leader by younger members. Yongsun just couldn't help but melt when Byulyi called her "Yong" to catch her attention. She loved the way she would light up when she saw her, nose scrunching as she exclaimed happily to the vlive audience that, "Ddunnie's here!"
She loved the little nicknames because it felt so personal. It made her feel truly adored when Byulyi called out a soft "Ddun" and then press a kiss to her cheek when Yongsun looked at her. It felt so natural to response to that impossibly soft and adoring tone that Byulyi only used with her. It made her feel so loved, so admired, so important; and she couldn't get enough of it.
One recent night in particular is a fond memory of hers. They were alone in Yongsun's apartment, Byul had dropped by claiming she would just take a nap while Yongsun worked on YouTube video prep. Yonghee wasn't home and Byulyi had commandeered the couch, her long limbs sprawled across the furniture as she dozed off with a squirtle plushie squished to her chest.
After about an hour of writing out video ideas and setting up some plans, Yongsun heard a soft voice calling for her.
"Ddunnie?" Byulyi's voice was still heavy and raspy from her nap. She sounded so endearing and Yongsun couldn't help but smile to herself. She stood, walking from her desk out to the living room, finding her best friend right where she'd left her.
Byulyi blinked at her sleepily, "Hi," she mumbled. She spoke softly and didn't seem as grumpy as she usually was when she woke from a nap. Yongsun stifled a laugh and sat down on the edge of the couch, watching as Byulyi's fingers wrapped loosely around her wrist to hold her in place.
"What's wrong, Byul?"
"Nothin'," Byulyi replied, "Just missed my Ddun. Wanted to know what you were doing."
Yongsun would never admit how much that my Ddun made her stomach flutter. She just smiled warmly and reached out to brush Byul's disheveled blonde hair out of her eyes.
"I was working on YouTube stuff," Yongsun said as Byulyi watched her languidly, "I have to film a video today."
Byulyi shook her head, "You gotta rest. You work too hard; gonna make yourself sick."
Yongsun sighed fondly at her words, "I'm fine, Byulie. I'll rest when I'm done."
"No," Byulyi pouted a little, "C'mere."
It was all too endearing when Byulyi with her tiny pout and sleep-flushed cheeks tried to tug her down onto the couch with her. Yongsun resisted a little, knowing she needed to film and couldn't risk falling asleep on the couch.
"Byul, I can't."
"I wanna cuddle," Byulyi insisted firmly, "I want my Ddunnie, not this imposter squirtle." Yongsun had to laugh at the way she glared accusingly at the stuffed Pokémon.
"You're a dork," she sighed and didn't try to pull away when Byulyi's fingers laced with her own.
"Mm," Byulyi hummed in reply, "But I'm your dork, right?"
"Yeah," Yongsun laughed, "My dork."
At her agreement Byulyi smiled cheekily, her eyes turning to crescent moons as she tugged in Yongsun's hand again. She didn't fight it this time, letting Byul pull her down to lay with her. She pretended to be annoyed but it was easy to see she had no real objection to her newfound position comfortably on top of Byulyi.
"I should be working," Yongsun chided gently, "You're distracting me."
Byulyi nuzzled into her shoulder and wrapped her arms securely around her thin abdomen, "Good, that's my job."
"Smug brat, you are."
"Don't be so grumpy, Yong," Byul cooed teasingly, "You would have left already if you really wanted to work."
"I don't think you'd let me leave even if I tried to," Yongsun replied matter-of-factly, pushing back on the arms holding her close to prove her point. Byulyi's grip only got more secure and Yong looked at her pointedly, making her scrunch her face into an exaggerated pout again.
"Less complaining, more napping."
Yongsun grumbled a little but couldn't hide her smile, tucking her head under Byulyi's chin as she snuggled closer into her arms.
"Yonghee will tease us endlessly if she comes home any time soon," Yongsun's sister had found them in various stages of skinship over the course of the time she'd lived with her. She teased her baby sister about it endlessly, even though she really found them adorable and was happy to see Yongsun so content.
"She's always teasing," Byulyi replied dismissively, "I wanna cuddle my Ddunnie, she'll just have to deal."
"Your Ddunnie, huh?" Yongsun was amused but also tried to hide the pretty blush that'd fallen on her cheeks at the attention.
"Mhm," Byulyi nodded surely, "Mine."
"Okay."
"Okay?" She clearly expected Yongsun to argue that possessive claim.
Yongsun sighed and leaned up, meeting Byulyi's questioning gaze, "Yeah." She ghosted her lips over her jawline, "Your Ddunnie."
Byulyi seemed flustered at that, unsure of what exactly Yongsun was eluding to, "U-unnie..."
"Byul-ah," Yongsun laughed lowly and leaned even closer, enough that Byulyi could feel her breath on her lips. She was so warm in her arms and Byulyi could feel her own cheeks flush at the close proximity. They'd always been close but this was new territory, this was crossing the platonic border that had always seemed to pop up.
Yongsun's hand came up to cup her face, thumb trace her cheekbone, brushing over her flushed skin as she looked at her fondly, "You're so cute when you're nervous."
"Yong, I-," Byulyi wasn't uncomfortable with this new development, just confused and unsure of how to react. Yongsun was never this confident when they were alone, never made a move like this before.
"If I said I wanted to kiss you right now, " that certainly made Byulyi's heart jump in her chest, "Would you push me away?"
A minuscule shake of her head, mind reeling at the question, "N-no."
Yongsun herself was blushing but her confidence didn't falter, "Are you sure?"
Byulyi nodded and her breathing hitched when Yongsun leaned close enough that her nose brushed Byul's. She tightened her grip on Yongsun's waist, feeling her heart beating like crazy as her best friend finally pressed her lips to hers.
It was a little awkward but no less amazing to either woman, feeling like an explanation to their whole ambiguous relationship. Yongsun was the first to pull away but immediately leaned back down and kissed her cheek with a little smile.
"Mine?" Byulyi echoed her earlier claim, now a loaded question that she couldn't seem to word any other way.
"Yours, Byul. Always."
She felt her heart sing when she saw the way Byulyi was looking at her, noting the warmth and utter fondness in her gaze. That was incredibly reassuring and truly solidified her belief that this was exactly how things were meant to turn out.
