❝ I had a change of heart while we were promoting in Japan. As I aged one, two years, I was still at rock bottom, and was getting comfortable down here, not feeling like I really wanted to rise so that the world could see us. I don't mind staying here if it keeps me humble. ❞ — B.I
Actually, a little Prince will be born soon. I guess Jinri 2.0 will be postponed until Jaehyun 2.0 is old enough. I missed you lots. Have you been doing well?
I saw! Ah, I already saw pictures of the little prince through your sns. I wish to visit him soon since promotions are getting a little loose lately. And regardless of the gender, I still think that you will have a beautiful kid because of your superior genes ㅋㅋㅋ and me?? of course, I’ve been doing well. You got nothing to worry about, alright? You know how it is when an idol’s promoting ㅋ plus, your homeboy is pretty strong, did you forget!?
— (#넘나좋은것) — “How about this? Doesn’t this make me look cool and edgy?” Two twenty-one-year-olds bored out of their minds and what’s the first thing they thought about doing? Going off to Hongdae to look at nose piercings. Euijin actually did have an affinity for such accessories–hence why her ears had plenty–but for once, she wanted something a bit different and bold, and Hanbin seemed like the perfect person with the perfect nose that’d understand her feelings. On her septum was a magnetic ring a bit too big for her and closely resembled that of a bull’s a bit too much as well. “Or is it too much–? I’m counting on you to give me good advice, Hanbin.”
He shot her a judging look for a good few second before asking, “You would look like a typical drop-out student, so I guess, yes?” But the goal of teasing her and making fun of her went away since the accessories laid out on the velvet cases also caught his attention upon remembering that he does have either of his ear pierced. Should he buy a new pair? Or also get his ear gunned again? However, the pressure she put on him broke him out of his brief trance, “Huh? Why me?” Hanbin chuckled and shifted all of his attention to the female’s dilemma, seemingly. “Are you really decided on getting another piercing?”
The joint concert has ended and the boys’ van is now cruising through the loose traffic in one of Seoul’s avenues as it headed back to their dorm.
After the usual madcap performances, the leader is found pressing his temple was against the window of the van, obviously knocked-out after giving his all to the audience. With closed eyes, he thought and anticipated the highlight of his day. It should be a night spent peacefully with her to wrap the tiring day up and nothing else. Rest now has a different definition for him.
Over the year, he’s still well aware that their romantic relationship must be kept away from the public’s eye and how forbidden it was to form such a bond with a label-mate. But with time’s grace he has gotten to used to the clandestine act of going over to Blackpink’s dorm, a place where even his shadow would be caught dead once seen. Yet somehow, they have mastered the craft of stealth with the help of their guardians, per se, the knowledge of their kind groupmates. Hopefully, his enduring presence alone and his affections for her have wavered the worries in her heart as well.
As planned, he was already relaxing beside her on her bed. Lights dim, he was slouching against her bed’s frame with one arm wrapped around her while Taeyang’s White Night album softly played in the background. He was scrolling down Naver’s latest news on his phone and his disinterested eyes caught a headline, “'Weightlifting Fairy' couple Lee Sung Kyung, Nam Joo Hyuk split”. But what drew his attention more was the gentle urgency in his girlfriend’s voice once she’d shifted on the bed.
“Hm?” He wondered what she was talking about, what could he have possible heard that hasn’t reached his hearing yet?
And as she pursued, he figured out that it has something to do with the headline he just saw. Nam Joohyuk and Lee Sungkyung, though they are models and actors, the dangers and possibilities in their labelmates’ environments aren’t that much different from theirs. He understands what Jennie is saying and why she’s expressing her thoughts and worry this way. He knows. It could happen to them, too -- somehow. But he also knows that he wouldn’t let it happen easily. Hell, he wouldn’t let it happen at all.
He blinked a few times, the innocence in his monolid eyes resembled that of an infant’s. She cupped his cheeks and he suddenly couldn’t tell if it was the warmth of her palms or actually the blood rushing up to his face that made him feel some type of way at the gesture. Hanbin nodded. “We are, babe.” His dimple appeared at the name ‘power couple’.
“I promise. We’ll last for as long as you want.” Confidence colored the irises of his eyes as he assured her. He put his phone down on his lap and caught her hand in his, giving the inside of her hand a light kiss. “We’re good.”
I've been well, and the little person is growing healthily. How have you been? I haven't seen you since forever - lil' jinri 2.0 would want to see his swag uncle soon !
So we’re expecting a princess, huh?! I must say I’m just as excited as her mommy. I’m happy to hear that and I hope you’re in good health as well. iKON has been getting a lot of schedules lately despite the promotions already done. If you don’t see me on the television or on stage, I’m just in my bed catching some of that ZzZzz’s
the acceleration of her heart-rate has nothing to do with fear
and everything to do with what her body really wants.
she looks away as if the outside world holds her attention,
but after all this time he reads her like a book,
eyes on her chest, her breathing rate duly noted.
with a gentle finger he reorients her face
so that he holds the gaze she didn’t want to give him,
stealing the passion from her eyes in a way that only magnifies the spark.
there is no smile on his lips,
only the hot intensity of his gaze
that they both know is the start of the inferno to come.
hanbin-ah. i just wanted to say that i love you. i hope you've been well.. always look after yourself, mm? keep fighting.
Hello, I just want to say that I appreciate the love a lot more than this reply could ever express. Thank you! I hope you’ve been taking care of yourself as well and eating on the right times. Also letting you know that I have been getting quite a lot of rest since I’ve decided to stop writing songs for a bit.

Hello, this is 1konic’s mun.
iKON’s comeback is just around the corner and for some reason, I have decided to retreat here to extend another platform for interactions with you guys.
Hanbin will be staying (and remain reachable) on twitter for the mean time.
As for tumblr.. well, we’ll make a comeback in this place again soon.
Given that we’ve finally come out of our hiding place, yes, I am sort of slowly getting back again to write for this muse. Hit me/him up for either ic or ooc interactions (also plotting)!
Somehow, he could hear a deep voice of an actor inside his head. It is masculine and echoing with frustration, thickened by disbelief as Hanbin felt himself thrust a finger at a shrunk cartoon version of himself even though there is none in sight. Dramatically, this unknown actor accuses him. “How could someone forget his own birthday?!”
Yeah… The male thought, the fading sound of his response perhaps, translates to a thousand of apologies and explanations he would want to say. But due to exhaustion and shyness crippling his speech, he was only able to timidly scratch the back of his neck. The corners of his mouth curled up albeit bashful. He could feel his ears burn from all of the attention that’s starting to accumulate after receiving fan gifts and messages from iKONICS before the day.
Gratitude has already overflown on this ordinary day, the 21st and it has barely started.
To him, it has only begun until he has finally seen her. Jennie, the sun of his night. So bright and cheerful, she’s radiating 24 hours a day.
There she is, being surreal – jumping out of nowhere in a costume and a birthday cake. Take note, nowhere; that was where this aching smile has come from and now it’s sticking itself up on his face. Butterflies flew and his backpack has fallen with a thud to the floor, similar to how his heart is currently making the same sound but in a faster, repetitive pace. This was one of her effects on him and it never fails to put him in a trance. As if the celebration was not about him, it’s about her.. about simply seeing her again.
Right. He thought, My birthday… of course she’s up to something now.
Hanbin felt himself almost tremble as warmth struck him. He thought he was going to melt on the spot while they approached the window and immediately saw the bus that had his face printed on it. How embarrassing and bothersome– These thoughts have been quickly dismissed by her reassurance, the words that he’s already heard from her before. So again, the amount of impact he has on his fans has sunk in (as if it’s like the first time) despite the simple thing of just seeing his face on a public transport.
What? It’s not over? Knowing his girlfriend enough, of course this was just the beginning. As they left and went to the subway, he’s already getting the reason why she had to show him these; the greetings on the walls of the station. He couldn’t help but smile again and look at his girlfriend who seems to be at awe as well. But his initial thought was, how much did the fans pay for advertising? Aigoo..
He was touched though. For their thoughtfulness and effort was already a gift.
The two takes a stroll to somewhere. Their steps guided by the chilly breeze of fall, its arms beckoning and welcoming them to a certain spot where the earth has readied them with a hole, shovel, and a young tree ready for its role. Hanbin’s lips fell apart in amazement. “Ah! This is a gift. How clever.” The male chuckled while he lowered himself to the ground and reached for the shovel. With much delicateness, he planted his first tree and buried the roots to its permanent cradle. His tree, his child; he wants it to grow sturdy and courageous, protecting people and being generous to those who is in need of its fruits and shade.
“Thank you.” He says to her in a gentle tone while taking the certificate and looking straight into her glimmering eyes, communicating with her in hopes that she would at least have a clue of how grateful he is.
The gifts wouldn’t stop tonight, he thinks again and he could only chortle lightly as they go into one of the rooms in the apartment.
“This feels like Christmas.” He commented upon seeing a pile made of objects wrapped neatly and in paper bags. He was confused for a while; are these fangifts or are all of these from her?! Anyway, the male started to open the gifts one by one while he listened to her explanation and each of the present’s meanings. His taste has been pleased and he was glad to learn that his girlfriend knows his style so well. As he held the pair of Converses and the bomber jacket that he’s matching with her, he let out an audible sigh while smiling, “This is unbelievable and you are so, so sweet. Probably broke as well.” He snorted after and then prompted himself to sit upright once she has hinted about her next gift, a song. He thought his pupils dilated out of excitement when she was just only clearing her thought, merely preparing for the first syllable of her composition.
Hanbin held his breath. He thought of how much he loves hearing her sing and then he lets go. He was sinking, losing his breath while she drew him in with the smoothness of her voice. While he listened, he realized that these are her sincerest thoughts that were stroked on paper before daybreak, the stars and the moon have witnessed her wrote this. Additionally, he noted how there was playfulness in the words and irony in the subject. He has low tolerance for alcohol, however he’s responsible for her heart’s buzz. The lad bit back a smile and held her hand while she sang the last lines of it.
“I think it’s great.” He says, but also thinks that she can change the title later, maybe? Then she leaned in for a kiss and his lips touched hers softly before she was allowed to talk again and make her short speech.
Hanbin laughed after, slightly cringing and unable to shrug off the graphic idea that his parents purposely had unprotected sex, courtesy of Jennie. “That’s very… thoughtful.” He snickered and caught her slim figure in his arms, hugging her back. “Hey, thank you so much for all of these… thank you. I don’t know what else to say.” His voice was low and he buried his face into the crook of her neck.
His hands fell to the curves of her waist as he stood up and tugged her body gently towards him, “…and you’re the best girlfriend ever, giving me the best birthday gift yet.” He captured her upper lip between his thick pair and smiled slightly as he murmured, “I love you so much.”
。FOR EVERY 🍂 I GET, I’LL REVEAL ONE IMPORTANT PERSON「 sᴛᴀᴛᴜs: accepting! — ʀᴇᴄɪᴘɪᴇɴᴛ: Anonymous」
@1konic @sngyun @ddhyk — and even though anon only left three, let me just squeeze in Jinhwan hyung who doesn’t have a URL. My ride or die men, IKON WOULDN’T BE COMING TO TOWN WITHOUT THEM. Every conversation, every meal, everything in between. It’s been a lot of ups and downs even prior to our debut but I wouldn’t have wanted to debut with anyone else but you crazies. From watching Mulan just to give tribute to Mushu when we had our concert in China (not to mention we were in China, who wouldn’t watch Mulan while in China?????), to roasting my antenna hair and that one time Hanbin got dreads; giving Donghyuk a lecture on girls and being reminded that science is life, roasting Jinhwan hyung’s height and celebrating ‘On Wednesdays, we drag Song Yunhyeong’— through swear jars and going broke because of it, to flying tampons and period disasters. Let’s all stay together for a very long time, toe dabbers. 사랑해.
