Zerobaseone Imagines kim gyuvin – silent treatment

kim gyuvin x reader
your pettiness results in a three day long, torturous silent treatment… gyuvin nearly dies.

taerae was two seconds away from pulling his hair out and kicking you and gyuvin out of his house. the pair of you had been whispering and giggling non-stop.

usually it wouldn’t bother him but there was work to be done. all of you had been put together for a group project, he needed all hands on deck because it was worth half of his grade this semester.

he looked across at gunwook who was still brainstorming despite not having anyone’s help and  he was thankful that he wasn’t the only one in the group that actually gave a shit.

you glanced over at gunwook too, he was beside you scribbling away and you finally remembered that you were also meant to be working. then your attention was once again stolen by your boyfriend looking criminally cute as he leaned his head down onto his arms, to prevent his chin from coming into contact with the cold counter.

“how’d your hair get so messy.” you mused, reaching a hand out to tousle it up even more. a smile reached gyuvin’s lips as he relished in your loving touches. he’s about to reply but taerae interrupts him.

“you guys have 21 whole other hours of the day to flirt with each other but decide to do it now. c’mon this project is fucking serious.”

a bit shocked by his outburst you put your hands up in surrender, gyuvin frowned at the loss of contact before following suit.

“we didn’t do anything!” you protested.

“yeah, that’s the problem!” taerae sighed, visibly deflating.

gunwook finally looked up. “have i been the only one brainstorming?!”

the whole table was in chaos and gyuvin, noticing how tense the atmosphere was getting, tried to dissipate it by doing what any other person would do.

kicking each of you in the shin under the table.

a chorus of ouches were heard and he smiled, satisfied. “you guys need to calm down. sorry y/n and i weren’t working, we’re completely focused now. see.” he smiled, straightening his back and attempting to look like a star student.

taerae gave him a ‘really’ look.

“it’s only a matter of time before you two start giggling again.” gunwook chipped in.

“and to think I thought you were whispering brain storm ideas to each other.”

you groaned exasperated. “i’m sorry, my lips are sealed unless i’m talking about project stuff.” you zipped your mouth closed and threw the imaginary key behind you.

taerae crossed his arms, eyeing the pair of you. “my bet is you two can’t go 10 minutes without talking to each other.”

gunwook scoffed. “10 is generous, i would say 5.”

you and gyuvin both gasped, obviously offended.

“let’s go then.” you challenged.

and so the challenge began and not even a full five minutes later gyuvin was tapping at your finger.

you eyed him warningly but he just sent you a cheeky smile in return. then he tapped you again and you found yourself giggling as you said, “stop.”

“ah-hah.” taerae cried lifting up his phone, you hadn’t even realised he had set a timer.

“4 minutes and 15 seconds.. don’t you two have any shame. not being able to last 5 minutes without talking to one another is literally insane.”

“why should we be ashamed for being in love?” gyuvin fought back theatrically standing up from his seat and you wanted to chuckle but taerae’s words had you silenced.

then your boyfriend’s next sentence had your eyebrows scrunching together.

gyuvin sat back down. “and i’m innocent, if anything y/n is the one who can’t go a second without talking to me. she cracked just there.”

you gasped. “you provoked me?!” you protested on the verge of requesting a rematch before you thought of an even better idea.

gyuvin thought you were the one who couldn’t last without talking to him? you had no choice but to prove him wrong. extreme measures would have to be taken. the silent treatment.

you were very competitive and were not about to let gyuvin try and defame you.

you huffed after your protests went unheard and got back to writing. you nudged gunwook to try and glance at what he had come up with so far.

gyuvin didn’t notice the silent treatment you were giving him throughout the rest of the group meet up due to the subtlety of it. he was still smiling to himself thinking he had proved his point.

you pursed your lips defiantly and focused entirely on getting to work.

***

“y/n.” gyuvin whined, making sure to drag out every syllable in your name.

ignoring him, you flip to the next page of your book trying your absolute hardest not to crack a smile.

he sat right beside you trying to peek into the book. gyuvin even made an attempt to snake an arm around your waist but you shrugged him off without sparing him a glance.

he knew he was in trouble for real then.

“what did i do? i’m sorry.” his pleas were starting to sound absolutely desperate and you just clicked your tongue, attention still on the novel you were reading.

gyuvin stood up from the couch then and stared down at you for a good five minutes. you were sure you had read the same exact paragraph fifty times now, without retaining a single word.

then suddenly he started pacing around trying to remember what he could have done to annoy you.

you sneered a little at him not remembering but quickly went back to your stoic expression when he swivelled back towards you.

“did i eat something that was yours?” gyuvin was more so talking to himself as he leaned against the wall.

his eyes scanned you for a reaction.

“no, i feel like it was something stupid i said. wait. oh.” you could practically see the thoughts running through his brain before he finally came to a realisation.

“is this about me saying you couldn’t go a second without talking to me?” he finally inquired, voice a little squeaky as he gritted his teeth awkwardly.

you shifted and he sighed. “i’ll take that as a yes.”

he flopped back down beside you again and took the book out of your grasp planting it onto the table.

“y/n, you know i was only joking.” he took your hands in his and you finally made eye contact with him giving him a little ounce of hope.

“if anything, it’s me that can’t live without talking to you. it’s been decades since i’ve heard your pretty voice. do you want me to die?” your boyfriend finished dramatically.

and the nice, responsible thing to do would be to accept his apology and move on.. but you weren’t feeling very nice and you certainly weren’t responsible. plus you kind of liked seeing him grovel.

so you just removed your hands from his and grabbed your book before heading into your bedroom.

he followed after you quickly and stopped the door you had tried to close with his foot.

“you can’t do this forever.” he stated, bottom lip jutted out. you only blinked up at him disinterested.

“fine. two can play at that game.” he huffed sticking his nose up in the air as he walked right back out and you rolled your eyes at him leaving the door open.

***

two could not in fact play at that game because gyuvin was in shambles, dying without talking to you and you were fine! completely normal, calm even.

he was beginning to think he was the only person in love in this relationship.

“kim taerae.” he called in the school halls the monday after a torturous weekend of not speaking to you.

taerae whipped his head around, he almost felt like a bullfighter waving a little red flag with the way gyuvin came charging towards him.

“hi.” taerae waved casually and gyuvin gave him his best menacing glare. “you’ve ruined my life.”

taerae pat gyuvin’s shoulder.

“i didn’t do anything, you kinda dug this hole for yourself buddy.”

gyuvin sulked, shoulders immediately drooping as he flung his arms around taerae. “what do i do?” he whined. “yujin is getting sick of me clinging to him…” he trailed off for a moment.

“y/n never does but well y’know.”

taerae pinched the bridge of his nose. although most of the time he loved gyuvin’s clingy tendencies he wasn’t in the mood today so he knew he would have to get you two back on speaking terms immediately.

“alright, alright. i’ll help you okay. even though it’s not my mess.” taerae sighed.

gyuvin smiled wide and stepped back to shake taerae’s shoulders excitedly. “thank you!”

taerae’s bag strap slipped down slightly because of the violent shaking. “okay.”

he stopped the overgrown puppy in front of him and ran a hand through his own hair for a moment in thought. “have you tried apologising?”

gyuvin gave him a ‘duh’ look but taerae looked skeptical. “properly?” he added.

gyuvin didn’t know what taerae defined as properly so he just scratched the back of his neck. “i think so.”

“well you should know so.” taerae said firmly, patting the younger boy’s back.

gyuvin thought back to the first day he had asked you about what was wrong. maybe his apology wasn’t as good as he thought.

he nodded slowly and taerae smiled. “that’ll be all? glad I could help.” he made his great escape leaving gyuvin stranded in the school halls.

gyuvin frowned a little before waving goodbye to his friend who was already half way down the corridor.

as he trudged along to his first class, he tried to think of ways he could make it up to you. you weren’t one for grand gestures, so he crossed anything too over the top off the list.

he supposed he just needed to show you he was sincere.

he was pulled out of his thoughts once he made it to his first class of the morning, social studies. a nice way to start of the morning usually. except today it wasn’t because instead of sitting in your usual seat you had swapped with gunwook so you could sit with ricky.

gyuvin stood there for a moment, pereplexed if you will. gunwook beckoned him over awkwardly to explain. gyuvin walked over to his seat begrudgingly, not before glancing at the other side of the classroom where you and ricky were sat again.

“what..” was all gyuvin could manage to splutter out.

gunwook nibbled at his lip nervously. “y/n asked me to swap places with her. did something happen between you two?”

gyuvin lolled his head around to look at gunwook and sighed dramatically, earning a couple stares from his classmates.

“remember the other day, when we were working on the project and i said, ‘y/n is the one who can’t go a second without talking to me’. she has been proving me wrong for three days now.” gyuvin explained.

gunwook wanted to laugh at the voice gyuvin used to mimic the past version of himself but after reading the room he chose to just clear his throat instead.

a permanent frown was etched onto gyuvin’s face and he didn’t even wait to hear what gunwook’s thoughts on the whole thing were before swivelling his head around to try and peer at you and ricky again.

“i’m going to faint, get a concussion and fall into a deep coma.” gyuvin said dramatically resting his head on the table and sniffling.

gunwook was about to pat his friend’s shoulder in comfort when the boy shot up again.

“you know y/n has barely glanced at me since friday and now she’s over there laughing with ricky like what’s so funny? i can’t take this.” gyuvin planted his hands on his desk and pushed himself up about to charge over there but gunwook yanked him back down.

“hey!” he shrugged his friend off him stubbornly.

gunwook gestured towards the front of the room and gyuvin follows to see that class is about to start. gyuvin nodded, feeling defeated and slid further into his seat. not before stealing one more glance at you though.

to his surprise you’d stopped talking to ricky for a bit. your eyes are scanning the classroom and gyuvin prays that he catches your eye.

and finally, you look at him.

it’s so brief however that gyuvin goes right back to sulking. he doesn’t even have time to raise his hand and wave because you had broke off the eye contact in seconds.

“i can’t go on like this any longer.” he said to gunwook, fiddling with his pencil nervously and gunwook just nodded pitifully.

“you’ll be back on speaking terms by tomorrow. i know y/n can be stubborn but, c’mon.”

gyuvin nodded. you two would be talking by tomorrow. in fact he was going to make sure you two were talking by lunch.

***

your social studies teacher had assigned a project too. it was just projects and preparations for exams these days it felt like.

however all gyuvin could think of was how he wouldn’t be partnered up with you for the first time in ages because of the stunt you had pulled.

he used this to his advantage however by begging ricky to ask you to meet him by the old set of lockers near the changing rooms to discuss something.

but he would be the one there instead.

gyuvin tapped his foot impatiently as he stood by the deserted lockers. everyone else was either outside or in the cafeteria.

he tried not to jump up with glee when he heard footsteps. he looked up and his eyes met with yours for the second time that day.

your eyes squinted in suspicion as you stepped to the side examining the area for any signs of ricky.

when you didn’t see him you began to spin on your heels but gyuvin was quicker. “not so fast.” he said catching onto your hand lightly before you could turn away from him.

he took a deep breath before he started the spiel he had prepared.

“y/n, i am so sorry. like ridiculously sorry, like there are no words to describe how sorry i am. these past few days? torturous. i’m seriously dying and i can’t go any longer without speaking to you or being with you. oh my god i can’t believe i ever said you’re the one who can’t go without talking to me when i’m the clingy, stupid one.” he took a deep breath and he was still holding your hand and staring at you with those deep brown eyes that never failed to make you swoon.

he placed a soft kiss on the back of your hand and sighed again. “i love you and please don’t leave me for ricky.” he blurted out the last sentence without thinking but he was glad he did because it finally got you to speak.

“what?” you cried in disbelief.

“why would i.. kim gyuvin you are so..” you didn’t even get to finish the sentence because gyuvin had pulled you to his chest in a hug, lifting you up slightly.

“i missed your voice. did i mention that i love you and i’m sorry.” his voice was muffled as he kissed your shoulder before dropping you to the floor.

you rolled your eyes playfully, biting back a smile.
“you did and i forgive you…”

he looked at you expectantly, puppy dog eyes widening. you sighed and finished off your sentence. “and i guess i love you too.”

“you guess? you know what i’ll take it since i’m still on thin ice.” he grinned boyishly, his hand found it’s way back into yours again and he squeezed slightly.

“it was seriously just meant to be a petty little prank i don’t know how i lasted that long. i missed you.” you explained to him as you started to head towards the cafeteria.

gyuvin’s feet stay planted and you pull at his arm. “hey! i’m hungry.” you turned back to look at him still tugging at his arm.

“i finally get you all to myself again and you want to go to the cafeteria. no, let’s skip and go get ice cream.” he pleaded, tugging you the other way.

after the silent treatment you had given him you could hardly say no, so you let him lead you out the school doors. your fingers were interlocked and gyuvin swung them lightly. your heart fluttered at all his cute habits you had missed.

you chuckled under your breath as you remembered his ramble earlier again.

“no but really, what was that about ricky?” you teased and a viscous pink coloured his cheeks and his ears also tinged the rosey colour.

“nothing. i didn’t mean that. stop using things i said while vulnerable against me.” gyuvin whined.

you burst into a fit of laughter.

“well just know i only love you.” you stopped him once again to place a kiss on his lips and he deepened it by tilting his head slightly and you were left breathless in a matter of seconds. you pulled away for a moment, laughing once again but this time at his eagerness.

“even if ricky is tall, handsome and—.” you started teasingly. gyuvin stopped chasing after your lips to frown.

“not as much as me though.”

you giggled, filled with adoration for your cute boyfriend. “not as much as you.”
