iddaehanâ:
Dahyun had definitely been a blessing in Daehanâs own introverted lifeâher exuberance in introducing friends to others having given him a rather great help in expanding his own connections with others as well. âI missed you. Missed doing something like this.â Daehan tilted his head slightly, the words slipping from behind his lips without any consequences. âThank goodness we both found some time to do something like this together.â He faintly pouted in her direction, a little sliver of his mischievous television personality slipping comfortably through to lighten the tense and odd atmosphere between them. âYou should do more variety showsâso that we could see each other more often. I donât have many people to really talk to, you know that.â
over the years, she had learned how to read daehan. even through his idol persona, she could tell what he was feeling deep down. honestly, he was easier to read than most. she was usually content with letting people be, letting them come to her if they wanted to talk about something troubling them. but there were exceptions to the rule. jiyeon and the rest of her members, of course. daehan too. and especially on a night off like this, she wanted to make sure he was enjoying himself as much as possible. âi donât care where we are as long as youâre comfortable.â in true dahyun fashion, that was her top priority tonight. she had a habit of putting others above herself. sometimes it paid off and sometimes it took itâs toll on her, sacrificing her own happiness or wants for the benefit of someone else. a blessing and a curse.
she eyed him carefully as he got his new drink, watching for sincerity in his words. âyou tell me if you want to leave, okay? we can always do something else. iâm not going to be happy if you arenât happy, okay?â she narrows her eyes at him but her lips carry a small grin. sheâs serious, she wants them both to be able to relax, and she wants him to know that. his touch on her back feels comforting, familiar. theyâve known each other so long that moments like that just come naturally. sheâs always been fond of physical touch, in the most platonic of ways. it was just comforting, knowing someone else was that close. sheâs surprised when his fingers stop; sheâs not always the best at recognizing boundaries when in public. itâs a shock to many that she hasnât found herself in a scandal of some kind yet. dahyun reaches up and brushes at the general area that daehan had almost touched. âdid i get it?â she asks.
a small giggle escapes her lips at his question and she shakes her head. âno, no. clubs are always loud, thatâs basically the point of a club. and thatâs why i didnât take you to one. bars can be quieter sometimes, and i thought youâd like a more mellow place better.â maybe she didnât know him as well as she thought. at least in a louder place with more people, they would be nearly invisible. but it would also prove harder to communicate.
âi missed this too.â her schedule recently didnât lend her to a lot of free time. aurora had more competition than ever, which meant the company and her manager wanted them to be seen as much as possible. she was grateful for the opportunities being thrown her way and wanted to do the most she could to help her group, but a night off was nice. a night off with a friend she didnât get to see that often? even better. âi think i have some variety coming up! i forgot what, but i know iâve got a couple things lined up. hmmm, i should probably figure out what it was and prepare myself.â
