“You fucking idiot.”

As a A-Rank Hunter, it’s your job to be in very dangerous situation. But right now, you don’t know what is more dangerous between a high-risk dungeon and Baek Yoonho in front of you, with a stare that can only be described as murderous.

The two of you are been friend for a long time, became hunters at the same time in the Fiend Guild and you followed Baek Yoonho when he decided to found the White Tiger Guild. You were in charge of helping/training the new recruit in the low-ranking dungeon and as often as you could you would join for high-ranking one.

A dungeon opened and your guild had to clear it as fast as you can with other hunters. Everything went smoothly until the boss room. Even if you beat the monster, it was a difficult combat and you closed the dungeon with some injuries, one bigger than the others.

Thankfully, healers were here and with no time, you were good to go again. What you did not expect was for Yoonho to come right at you when you let the others heal everyone else. Slowly pulling you aside, you can see in his eyes a mix of emotions but murder is the main one. You smiled at him sheepishly:

“It was not that bad…just a scratch, you know?”

“A scratch? Don’t fool me Y/n, I saw your wound before it was healed and you can’t call it “just” a scratch.” He said, hardening his stare.

You did not understand his reaction. Yes, Baek Yoonho, is known for always protecting his guild members but he never loses his control like that when someone get hurt.

“Yoonho, I’m fine okay, I got hit, it sucks but it is part of the job. Now, if you excuse me, I need to go home and change so I’m not in my bloody armor anymore.”

It was not like you to snap at him like that but you were tired and the only thing that you wanted was to take a shower, not to argue with your best friend.

--evening--

As your guild master, Baek needed to stay professional but he can’t help letting his head take over when it’s you. When he saw that you were injured pretty badly, the only thing in his mind was to murder the already dead creature in the dungeon. He knows that you are strong, he saw it with his own eyes during multiple raids but seeing his most important person getting hurt was not something he planned today.

For him, you were more than a friend but he kept his feeling for himself, not wanting to break your long-time friendship. Being with you is more than enough for him, however, it became more and more complicated to hide those feeling, especially of something bad is happening to you (like today).

Looking out through the window, he was replaying the moment over and over in his head and exhaled. He acted like a prick to you because of his own worries and emotions. he really needs to apologize. How could he continue if you were not by his side because of what he did, it is a bit overdramatic of him but he didn’t care, he was the one in the wrong here. He quicky took his phone and typed quickly a message before leaving the Guild HQ.

*At your house*

The shower did miracle to your tired body and mind, making you think about what happened with Yoonho today. You shouldn’t have used the tone you had when you left him. He was just worried about your well being like every guild master and that’s it. Writing a note in your head to apologize tomorrow, at the same moment, you heard your phone’s ring for receiving a notification: 2 messages from “Tiger”

Y/n, can we meet up? I want to talk

Same bar as usual.

Speaking of the devil, smiling slightly, you texted back an “okay” and prepare yourself to go out

*At the bar*

After ordering your drinks, the both of you went to sit on your usual seat, in the corner. You liked this bar for its quietness and tranquility. You could just enjoy your drink without being disturbed by someone that wanted a picture with you or with Yoonho (not that you don’t mind but it’s nice to have a calm moment). There was a weird silence between you, before Yoonho broke it with a sigh:

“I want to apologize for today.”

You looked at him with curiosity: “Apologize?”

“Yes, I let my emotions do the talking and I act like you were the only one responsible for the raid. I’m sorry Y/n.”

You shook your head.

“You don’t have to apologize; I was in the wrong to leave you like that and I’m sorry. You were just worried, right? I would be pretty worried too if my best friend got injured, which happen a lot, huh?”

Trying to light up the conversation with a joke, Yoonho laugh slightly covering the small disappointment in his eyes. Friend, again this word. Maybe because of today, this time his heart broke a little bit more in his chest.

“I just don’t understand why you were that worried, I mean, we fought together and it was not the first time that you saw me being reckless and facing the consequences.”

Yoonho took some minutes to think about his answers, is it Fate that give him a sign to finally express his feeling? Or is it just a sick joke of it? You saw him letting out a breath and his stare became intense:

“Do you remember when I said to you that I wanted to create my own guild?”

“Yes, it something that I will never forget.”

“And how you said that you will always follow me so we can fight together…”

It was strange to see Yoonho nervous and you did not like that. In your entire life together, you only saw this nervous state when something bad was happening to you, like the time you got sick and you didn’t show up at a report meeting.

“Okay Tiger, spill it out, you’re worrying me. If it is because of today, I can apologize a thousand times.”

Groaning, Baek shook his head. Why it is so difficult?

“It is not about today, I mean it is but..Fuck, I just hate to see you hurt after a raid, especially if I’m not here because it means that I can’t protect the one person I love.”

He finally said it.

Oh…

Oh.

You felt your brain short-circuiting at his confession:

“You love me?”

“For a while now, it was easy to fall for you. You’re strong, handsome and just seeing your smile can brighten my day. I never said anything, fearing of breaking our friendship.

You can still not believe it. Your feelings for Yoonho were also complicated. He is your best friend and you never want to lose that. Being with him is everything to for you but you saw the changes, how your stare at him with something more in your eyes, how the small touches were lingering more than they should. However, you never felt Baek responding to them so you assumed that he was just seeing you as his best friend and colleague.

Getting out of your head, you can’t help but laugh at the situation the both of you are in, which result of Yoonho giving you a bewildered stare. You tried to stop but thinking about everything makes you laughing more:

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh…it’s just that, I-I love you too Yoonho. But you never seem to see the small moves that I could do so I just stopped…Omg we’re two idiots, it’s crazy.”

Continuing laughing your heart out, you heard Yoonho letting out a funny snort and he joined you in your hilarious state. When the two of you calmed a bit, you took a sip of your drink and give him a loving smile. Yoonho did the same and took your hand in his, squeezing it, a manner to promise that yes, you will always fight and be together even if your relationship changed a bit.

You were just two idiots but two idiots in love and now with your feelings out of the bags, everything’s going to be fine, much to the relief of Choi Jong-in, that was at his limits of seeing the two of you pinning for each other during shared raids.

It's not your fault (Baek Yoonho x Gn reader hurt/comfort)

Request: Nope

Pairing: Baek Yoonho x Gn reader (married)

Synopsis: After the Jeju Island Raid, as the guild master, Baek Yoonho has to keep going. However, as his partner, you see the cracks.

Tw: SPOiLER FOR S2 OF SOLO LEVELING, brief mention death

Notes: We need more fanfic with this man.

Coping the loss of someone can be different for everyone. For Baek Yoonho, as the White Tiger’s guild master, work was for him the easy way to trying to forget what happen during the Jeju Island raid. Of course, at the end, the threat was killed thanks to Sung Jinwoo and his shadow and the world was safe again.

You remember the blur of emotions when you saw your husband coming back home alive after seeing him deeply wounded by the Ant monster. It was a mix of relief and happiness that quickly turned into pure sadness as Yoonho dropped the bad news: Min Byung-Gyu has been killed during the raid. His best friend is dead. You cried so much that day, in the arms of Yoonho, who tried to stay strong for you but you felt his body shake and saw his eyes with unshed tears.

Some weeks after the raid, everything went back to a sense of normality. The grief was still there in both of your hearts but as a guild master, Baek needed to keep going without failing his teammates. Filling his time with more paperwork every day, it was now a regular pattern for your husband to come home late when you are already asleep. You only saw each other in the morning, however his growing eyebags didn’t get unnoticed even if you don’t have his sharp perceptive ability. Understanding the situation, you are not mad at him for it, on the contrary. You know that Byung-Gyu’s death took a toll on Yoonho, what was worrying you is the fact that he doesn’t want to talk about it, that he is keeping everything for himself, carrying this burden along with his charge of Guild Master and S-rank Hunter. You need to help him; he was there when you were grieving, so it’s your turn to show that you are here for him.

One night, when you were already in bed like always, you heard the entrance door open and recognized the footsteps of your husband around the apartment. You heard him coming toward your shared room, enter it slowly to not make any noise to not disturb you (even if you were not sleeping) and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, washing off the day at the guild. When Yoonho came out, he was wearing a simple white tee-shirt and his boxer and quietly slipped under to cover, his back turned to you.

You heard his sight of tiredness, making your chest ache a bit in your ribcage. It’s now or never. Softly, you moved toward your husband and your arms went around his torso and waist, one hand on his beating heart, your head in the crook of his neck, spooning him. It was rare for you to be the big spoon but this time it was what he needed. Feeling his body tense a bit and then relax a bit in your hold, one of his hands gripped the one on his heart.

“Did I wake you up? I’m sorry sweatheart.”

“No, it’s okay.”

A heavy silence fell between the two of you. You can actually feel the tension and exhaustion in his entire body.

“Tiger?”

He hummed at the nickname. Before speaking, your hold tightens and you think about the right word to say:

“I…I know that loosing someone is hard, especially Byung-Gyu, and I know that I’m so far away from what you are going through but I just want to let you know that…That I’m here for you. As a listener, as a friend, as your partner...It worries me to see you building a shell around you when you are hurting. I can see it and I want to help you…like you helped me. You don’t have to be strong with me, I’m just Y/N, your partner… So please, talk to me so we can share your grief, so you’re not alone in this, I’m here for you, my love.”

Yoonho didn’t answer right away, making you worry that your choice of words was not correct and that you just upset him more. What you did not except, was for him to bring your conjoined hands for a soft kiss. His body was still stiff and he was still not facing you but you felt with the gesture and the shaking of his hand, a small crack on the wall he builds around his own heart.

“I saw him again after his death.”

Your eyes widened at his confession, but you keep your mouth shut.

“Hunter Sung resurrected him as a shadow to heal hunter Cha from a fatal wound, which he did. It was real, he was real. But you know that he always hated violence, always hated fight, that’s why he was a healer… Why he retired before the raid.”

You nodded your head, showing that you are listening and quickly you sensed what was going on inside his mind.

“When Hunter Sung let his shadow go, as I asked for respect of his choice, he…he smiled at me like he knew what I was thinking, like he wanted to tell me that-“

His body was shaking now and Yoonho tried to stop the sob that wanted to come out. Your heart broke at the sight and you usher him softly to turn over and face you. When he did, you saw his eyes were filled with tears that were threatening to spill. Placing a hand on his cheek, you finished his sentence.

“That it was not your fault.”

Those simple words were the final straw for his tears to roll slowly. Grief and guilt are not the best combination for someone like your husband, when the death of his comrade is affecting him so much.

He was fully crying in your arm now, sharing his pain with you and letting go of all the emotion he kept for himself. And you were her to welcome it, tightening you grip around him with both arms, mumbling words affection and slightly tracing circle on his back to sooth him. The two of you stayed like that for a long time until his tears dried out. When your eyes locked on each other, it was not the S-rank hunter that was looking at you but your grieving husband. You wiped the remaining tears off and you placed a soft kiss on his lips.

“You are not at fault for his death.”

Yoonho was ready to argue but you cut him off, wanting him to listen to you.

“He knew the risk when he chose to be in this raid like you or Jong-in. Death and Hunter will always be tied together.”

“He was retired when he decided to come for the raid, and because of what? Because of me, because I told him that I was going to Jeju Island!”

“But he chose for himself.” you looked at him with understanding and fondness. “He could have just let go of this idea and go back to retirement but he didn’t, because he was an amazing hunter, because even if he hated violence, he wanted to help as much people as he could. He wanted to help you like always when you were a team. I know it’s not fair and I know that it hurts but the smile he sent you was not for you to feel guilt about his death but for you to remember him for his determination and devotion.”

You smiled at your husband with only sympathy and gentleness in your eyes. He sighs shakily and brought you in his arms this time, his forehead on the center of your collarbones.

“I was a shitty husband for the past few weeks, huh?”

“No, you were just grieving and in pain and that is completely fine Tiger.”

“When are going to stop using this one?”

You chuckled teasingly: “Never.”

Yoonho shook his head, a small smile on his lips. With your arms around each other, he finally found a place where he does not have to be strong all the time.
