what’s done is done really. and he doesn’t regret it but boy is yongnam nervous about what he’s done. there was something about asking one person out that was already never wracking but to ask two people out and on anonymous too? he might as well be committing the most dangerous act to his poor heart. but he had to. he wanted to.
yongnam doesn’t know how to explain his own emotions. he probably doesn’t even know what they are right now. is it possible to like two people at once? or is it possible to want to be by their side at all times? to make sure they’re always happy? to make sure that he could always raise them up when they are down? and he’s very aware that hwamin likes junjae. yongnam also has a hunch the feelings may be returned and he’s not looking to barge into it if things do happen. but still, tonight was those rare moments where he just wanted to be a little bit selfish.
if allowed. so here he nervously waits in the side with the promised blue flower tucked into his suit pocket. it had surprised his aunt and uncle when yongnam had asked to look his best instead of sliding away insisting he doesn’t need help. his heart beat loudly and quickly by each passing moment especially when yongnam spots both the two. the sound only gets louder when they near him and he realizes that he’s been figured out.
the first thing yongnam does and probably the most unhelpful thing is to just glance at the two of them. smile a bit. well lot. a bit awkwardly too as fingers tuck themselves into his pant pockets. a few seconds tick by before yongnam finally gains the confidence to speak. “surprise?” the voice comes out unsure. probably not the best sort of introduction.
“i…i r-really wanted to spend the night with you two,” yongnam continues after another long pause of silence. “i-if that’s okay? maybe i should have a-asked directly but…..i got scared.”
scared of what? rejection? that would have been around regardless. but something inside him held him back from saying more. like about his feelings or about the real reason why he asked them. “or not scared i…i wanted to make it…creative.” he doesn’t like lying to them but this time yongnam feels better doing so. “is it okay if i join you two tonight?”
ʜᴡᴀᴍɪɴ ᴅɪᴅɴ'ᴛ ᴇᴠᴇɴ as much as blinked when her hand was grasped in his, the first time it had happened she had felt her heart skip a beat as her cheeks blazed with color. now as she was used to the action of the other, it only caused a sudden feeling of warmth to wash over her. silently she lets him lead her across the dance floor, each step causing a sinking feeling within her heart as she feels as if they were getting closer to the other person. she didn’t want to know who it was, had never had much interest in the matter once she found it wasn’t who she had hoped.
ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪs ᴜɴᴛɪʟ they finally stop and in front of them stands a boy she knows every well.
❝ yongnam- what are you do- ❞ she questions, her sentence getting cut off as she realizes what was happening. a smile replacing her confused expression as she reaches over and gently pushes him in a playful manner.
❝ you know you scared us half to death, right? i’m glad it was you and not some creeper though, ❞ she jokes, as she looks over a junjae with relief. had it been someone else, she wouldn’t know how to feel or what to do. would junjae have left her with her “date” if he realized that they were harmless?
ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏɴɢɴᴀᴍ ɪᴛ was simple. the three of them were close after all. it wasn’t as if junjae came here as her date anyways, she laments sadly as she holds out her hand to the other boy, ❝ come then, my two nobles knights, let’s dance. ❞
