ZEROBASEONE ONESHOTS AND IMAGINES

ZB1 as love tropes

Kim Jiwoong - Opposites attract

Jiwoong isn't one to open up at first so it was no shocker when he was completely cold when you two first met. He would reject your kind gestures and generous compliments. However, he found himself slowly being drawn to your bright personality and energy in comparison to his dull and rather stony nature. As he starts to hang out with you more, Jiwoong begins to let loose and enjoys being silly with you. Who knew you could fall in love with someone so different from you?

Zhang Hao - Academic rivals to lovers

Hao is quite excellent when it comes to academics. Not only are his grades perfect, but every other aspect of his life. There's no doubt that he's unmatched in all areas. So when you come along with twice as many extracurricular and a GPA higher than his (is that even possible?), he's determined to beat you. Every test, every score, every assignment matters. It's only when hao realises that it's not his grades that he cares about anymore, but it's you.

Sung Hanbin - High school sweethearts

Hanbin is extremely dedicated to his relationships so having a relationship last from high school is no surprise. Even after being together for many years, you still find yourself with the same love and passion for Hanbin that you did many years ago. Small things like going on dates and taking care of one another are enough to prove how perfect you guys are together. Your friends joke that you guys are straight out of a love story.

Seok Matthew - Lovers in denial

You and Matthew have been friends for years so there's no denying how comfortable you two are with one another. Your friends often joke that you guys are secretly in love but you call it nonsense since you and Matthew have been nothing but just friends. But everyone can see the way you look at each other and that it's like astronomically impossible that there's nothing between you two? You begin to realise that this joke isn't one anymore, but real life.

Kim Taerae - Secret admirer

Taerae has never really had a crush so when he finds himself awning over you, he's unsure of what to do. He's too shy to make a move and too awkward to talk to you. Even after mustering up the courage to approach you, Taerae chickens out last minute. His friends tease him but he can't help how he feels for you. Instead, he delivers small snacks with romantic notes to you and posts secret serenades on his Instagram. You can't help but wonder... who's this secret admirer of yours?

Shen Ricky - Fake dating

As most fake relationships do, you and Ricky's relationship started from a bet. However, you guys weren't mad. There were obvious benefits that came from fake dating someone. For Ricky, being able to reject girls was much easier with the actual reason that he had a girlfriend, and for you, shushing your friends for telling you to date someone. After a while, the relationship seemed almost too good to be true, and these feelings between you and Ricky were too genuine to be fake.

Kim Gyuvin - Love at first sight

Gyuvin never has a bad impression of anyone so naturally when he first met you, he couldn't help but be head over heels in love. He's the type that never shuts up about his crush so he'll be talking about you 24/7, talking about the cool jacket you wore that day or how much you suit your new haircut. His friends are sick of his yap sessions about you but are grateful for the joy you are bringing him. Gyuvin always makes excuses to talk to you and unintentionally flirts, but is it unintentional?

Park Gunwook - Forced proximity

Being class president, Gunwook never notices anything special about you. He thinks of you as a regular classmate with whom he's communicating. Even after having multiple conversations with one another, you've never had interest in him and vice versa. It's only until you guys are locked in a classroom together that you finally notice each other. After that incident, it seemed like Gunwook was everywhere. Was it just a coincidence or was the universe pushing you two together?

Han Yujin - Childhood crush

Yujin is such a shy kid so his feelings for you would never be made known. Even though everyone can sense that he has a thing for you, he denies it and you brush it off by saying that you guys are just best friends. Yet, Yujin can't get rid of his crush on you. He feels himself blushing at your words and feeling the need to protect you when others are around. It's impossible considering the proximity between you too.
