Haneul Min 민하늘. XXVI. Dancer. Lover of all things. A walking hug.

“Damn. Isn’t that like…six hours one way or something? Hopefully the smile made it worth it.” He was sure he’d lose his mind if he was trapped in a car that long. Whatever weird feelings Haneul got, Max believed in. The other had an uncanny knack for that sort of thing. His friend’s words had the man freeze momentarily. “Arielle?” A soft laugh escaped him and Max grinned as he pulled out into a gap in traffic. “We’re just friends, dude. I mean sometimes we do TikToks together but I don’t think it’s actually more than that.” Was it? 

“You can imagine how tired I was. The smile was definitely worth it. I don’t know, I’ve been having these strange little inklings that just have me leaving little notes here and there. I mean you know me, I have a love for dancing and cute little notes but now...I dunno, but who knows,” Haneul just casually shrugged. “Oh, hm.” He tapped his chin curiously, narrowing his eyes slightly in thought, he could feel the fluttery feeling, but he wasn’t too sure where it was coming from. “You two should hang out more often, then. Let loose a little bit,” He offered with a bright smile.

“Hours? Where the hell’d you go?” Max asked, voice laced with curiosity. With end of seasons coming up, he’d been stuck in practices more than usual lately. Still, he was glad for afternoons like this when he could take time to hang out with friends. As he settled into his car, Max glanced over at Haneul. “Yeah? What’s up?” 

“I drove to Sonoma because I had this weird feeling to just go drive to Sonoma and so I followed that inkling and there, I found the cutest stationary and wrote a random note and left it there and someone smiled at it?! Anyways, I don’t know why it happened, but it happened. I hated the drive and my butt hurt, but it felt freeing,” Haneul practically blabbed to his friend Max—even though he knew that the other hated road trips. “Okay, so,” He began as he put his seatbelt on. “You and Arielle. Is there something going on between you two that I should know about?”

“Still you know I’m always here when you want to ventilation.” She said smiling thinking of her favorite color appearing through her window. It was like something out of those fairy tales that her mother always read to her. He knew her so well. “Speaking of perfect timing I’ve heard there’s a George in town. Not the grumpy one but the himbo. Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” She said with her cheeky little smile. Aphi may not be able to tell when people were smitten with her but she knew damn well when others were smitten. “Well if you don’t mind I’d love to join you. That’s if you’d like company of course.” 

“I will definitely consult with you, I promise,” Haneul grinned brightly. He meant it and was going to make sure he kept true to his word and deliver to Aphi to let her know how much he appreciated her and her friendship. At the mention of Harrison, his eyes widened. “THE BIG BUFF ONE?!?!?!” He gasped, practically holding back his excited squeals. “Please please pleaseeeeee?!?!?! He and the Attina Triton-ssi should’ve gotten together like 1,000 years ago, what is the hold up?!” He practically flailed dramatically. “I never mind your company, Aphrodite! Come on, let’s hang out, you can tell me all about the update with both of them!” 

[hani-bani]

xxmax-goof​: 

“I did? Oh, yeah, I probably did.” His thought process had been so much different than Haneul’s. They viewed the world in different ways so Max liked to take the time to reflect and understand. He’d probably come back to this conversation later. “I 100% believe you,” he chuckled. “Yeah, I’ll drive, dude.” 

“I know you did,” Hani playfully boasted with a bright smile. Max and Haneul had their own different views in life, but he always felt that’s what made them so complimentary. “FINALLY!” He breathed out a sigh of relief. “I drove like for hours yesterday and I will crawl before I have to drive again,” He retorted dramatically. “By the wayyy—” He paused. “I have a curious question.”

“You’re fine. It’s going to take a lot more to startle me.” Kim smiled at the other person, “Plus I think it’s nice, not a lot of people would bring others up so don’t stop being you. For anyone.”

“You neeever know. I once startled someone that they nearly fainted on me,” Haneul sighed, shaking his head. “Thank you! I think being in love with yourself is something so personal and so important, but I know it’s not always easy for everyone to do.” 

[hani-bani]

aphi-loves-you​:

“Dey full name Min Haneul? Always a charmer you are.” Aphi already feeling much better just being in his ora. “You never have to apologize to me for your feelings. I was just joshing you. I think everyone should talk to themselves that way. A sparkly arrow! If that isn’t the most romantic thing I’ve heard. I’ll be sure to keep the window open and curtains pulled.” If there was anyone who could match Aphrodite’s romantic ideas it was Hani. “I don’t know how but I had dey feeling you were here outside. So I got two just in case. Weird, do you ever get this feeling?”

“It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t,” Hani grinned excitedly. “I know, I know, but you know I never want to harsh anyone’s wonderful vibe with my own melodramas. Of course! You deserve the pinkest and sparkliest of arrows just for you. I’ll be sure to make sure the moment I see the windows open and curtains pulled to send it in at the perfect time!” He reassured her with a bright grin. “Really? Huh—well, I was thinking about going on a stroll. You know now that you put it that way...I’d say sometimes. It comes and it goes. I hate how fleeting it is.” 

[hani-bani]

xxmax-goof​:

“I haven’t gotten hit in the head that hard,” he chuckled. “Yeah, it makes sense.” There were days he barely had time to get the basic things done but he’d do his best to remember to incorporate small acts of self care into his routine. “We can always figure it out when we get there, you know? You wanna walk or go in the car?” Max asked, jingling his keys.

“You haven’t but you definitely had that buffering look on your face,” Haneul scrunched his nose up cutely. “I’m glad because I was gonna say—don’t make me make you a self-care kit because I will! And I will personally hand deliver it!” He playfully scolded. “You know what—” He paused and then conceded, “As long as we’re taking your car, I’m fine with it!”

Ella couldn’t recount the last time she had experienced such kindness. Her godmother was the only person that came to mind. It was nice to know that there was still lovely people out there. “I think you’re onto something there. I kind of thought I was free of them but turns out one of them is working on one of my projects for work with me. So wish me luck.” She mused with a nervous smile. “Either way, I appreciate it. I’m Ella by the way.”

“Ah...” Haneul nodded with a worried look for a moment. “Well, I hope this project goes by super quickly so you’re free of them again. And if you eeeever need an escape, I hope you can find some solace that you’re doing something you love, I hope? Or an actual physical escape too,” He grinned, brimming with optimism and hope for Ella. “You’re very welcome, Ella! I’m Haneul, my friends call me Hani,” He extended his hand with a smile.

Picking up on his caution, Angel flashed a grin in his direction. “Relax, would ya? It’s not like I was going to hit you.” Still, she held her hands up, revealing the lack of fists. “I’m good. I’m calm. I’m not gonna pick a fight.” Right now, anyway. “Not at all, but have I told you that that color looks amazing on you?” At his nudge, she fell into step beside him.

“You never know, one bad move and then there goes my face,” Haneul pointed out with a cautious look, patting her hands lightly. “Good because you, my dearest Angel, do not need to fight—you don’t need to get arrested or your hair messed up,” He patted her head with a bright grin. “Everything looks good on me,” He teased with a grin. “But thank you! I might’ve picked up a thing or two from some fashionistas.”

“Are you talking to yourself again Honey Bunny? If you needed a pick-me-up you could have called, texted, emailed, wrote a note and shot it through my window. Anything but doing dis. You know I’ll always be there.” She holds up two smoothies in her hands. “Now do you want the Pineapple or the Coconut one? Since it’s as you say ‘treat yoself Friday’” 

“Is that the love of my life named Aphrodite Helios?!” Haneul shrieked excitedly. “Sorry sorry, I had a day where I was just down on myself and I had to just say my daily affirmations to myself—but I promise next time I’ll make sure I’ll write you a beautiful note and shoot it through with a sparkly arrow and everything,” He smiled, feeling much more relaxed around the woman. “Hmmm....I’ll take the Coconut! Thank you!!” 

[hani-bani]

xxmax-goof​:

A few days of self care? Where did this guy find the time for that? Max’s day was filled with homework, basketball practice, training for the extreme sports competition, and whatever hobby had his interest at the time. Currently it was learning French. “Uh, yeah. That makes sense.” He adjusted the strap of the bag on his shoulder. “Yeah, I’m still working on that bit.” His head tilted to the side. “Uh…I don’t know, actually.” 

Haneul could tell that the cogs were turning on Max’s side—or at least he thought—he was never too sure nowadays. “Does it truly make sense or are you still trying to rack your brain about something?” He asked inquisitively. “Like I always say, if you can take a few minutes to eat, drink water, and shower, you can take a few minutes to remind yourself to breathe—depending on the day of course,” He chuckled, shaking his head. “I dunno either, but, it’s on me today!”

Kim looked to the source of the voice and smiled at them, “Thank you.” She didn’t really know what else to say, she often felt uncomfortable when someone gave her a compliment but she was working on being more comfortable with that kind of attention. “You’re very kind to say that.”

“Oh—sorry I startled you! I have this wild habit of sharing my daily affirmations with the world, even if it gives them a little bit of a boost,” Haneul responded shyly with a bashful grin. 

[hani-bani]

xxangel-ryan​:

Her fists were clenched into fists before Haneul started talking. In fact, it was his words that kept her from starting towards a group of girls she’d heard had been talking shit about her. Her hand relaxed, fingers uncurling as she turned her attention towards Haneul. “You know what…you’re right…I should treat myself.” A brief thought flashed through her mind. “Can I borrow five bucks?”

Haneul’s eyes raised in alarm at Angel’s clenched fists, carefully watching how they slowly uncurled. The last thing he wanted to witness today was a random brawl. “Okay, okay, good, we’re making progress...” He responded very cautiously. “Aiiishhhhh, Angel, do I look like a money tree to you?! Come on, follow me,” He nudged her along. 

[hani-bani]

xxmax-goof​:

“Yeah, I know. Sometimes it’s just easier said than done, you know?” Especially if their comments already hit on his biggest insecurities. “You’re, uh, you know you’re right though. I can only control how I react. Uh, anyway, I was gonna head down to Santiago’s…you wanna come with?”

“It definitely is easier said than done, I’d be lying if I’d say that people’s words didn’t affect me. At the end of the day though, they’re not me. I’m me. So, I cry it out, I play a nice soothing playlist, take a few days of self care and remind myself why I’m worthy,” Haneul responded, his tone much softer with Max’s. “Exactly! Don’t be too hard on yourself, okay?” He nudged him with a grin. “Ooooh! Yes! I really have a hankering for—flautas? Is that what they’re called? The crunchy tacos?” 

[hani-bani]

cindcers​:

“Oh! Well thank you, that’s mighty kind of you to say!” Ella mused finding his smile quite contagious that she soon began smiling herself. “However I don’t think my step-siblings would share the same sentiment.” Setting her pen down upon her sketchbook she met eyes with the stranger. “Thank you for the pick me up anyway though.”

“Well, it’s the truth,” Haneul smiled brightly. At the mention of the woman’s step siblings, his brow furrowed for a moment and he tutted, “That’s very sad of them to dislike you and truthfully I think they could be projecting their insecurities on you. You, deserve better,” he nodded for a second and continued with a, “Oh no, no no, no need to thank me! Honestly, I just...something told me you needed the pick me up.” 

[hani-bani]

“You know what, who cares what they think, you know? I personally think you’re the bee’s knees and whoever tells you otherwise is well, a hater,” Haneul said to no one in particular. “Well, some of them are haters, others are just trying to navigate on loving themselves but refuse to grow or look within, but that’s neither here nor there. It’s Friday, treat yourself to something nice!” He piped up with a bright smile.
