Kim Hongjoong

Think I need someone older.

Just a little bit colder.

You have always been the perfect student — sharp, focused, and endlessly dedicated to excelling in every lecture. From high school to now, in university. Not any university. You made it to SNU.

Your life is built around studying, meeting expectations you’ve set for yourself, and those your parents have demanded. Nights in the library replace nights out at parties. Even when you wish you could join in, you keep your head down and push forward. Never heard of anyone being proud of you, telling you that you did well, even less your parents.

Still, there’s one quiet reward in all of it — you’re Hongjoong’s favorite.

He notices your effort. He praises your grades. He tells you you’re exceptional. Celebrating each good grades you achieve. Every time his warm voice acknowledges you, something stirs deep inside. You want more. You’d do anything to hear him tell you again that you’ve done well. Those praises so foreign to you, those words that would never escapes your parents lips. Him, he's not afraid to tell them.

Then comes your first real party.

He’s there, reluctantly, dragged along by his best friend Seonghwa. You see each other outside the noise, where the cool night air is thick with tension neither of you can ignore.

One moment you’re talking. The next, his restraint cracks — and so does yours.

You end up at his place. In his bed, his arms that are so comforting, welcoming.

Since that night, his apartment has become your quiet refuge. When the loneliness gets too heavy, you go to him. He pampers you, he cares for you, but you both avoid naming whatever this is. You cook together, watch movies, he gives you gifts, money, and fuck your problems and stress away while praising you. He makes you feel loved, understood, desirable as if you were the most perfect human walking on earth. A walking goddess in his eyes. He heal something in you he never broke.

No labels. No promises. Just something you both can’t seem to let go of.

Forbidden love and slow burn GRRRAAAA Hongjoong in suit has me foaming at the mouth rn I'm not okay I have a thing for the like dilf aura he has and the idea of him pampering and praising user I'm a bit
