Who Would’ve Thought?
A scenario of Jinhwan trying to win the heart of the youngest member(she still a 94 liner) of new foreign girl group? ─anon (thank you for the request!) Word count: 1.530 Genre: fluff(?) Summary: Jinhwan thought she was just another vocalist (well it took a turn didn’t it). Warning(s): small amount of swearing
Jinhwan would never thought of this. He would never even imagine the picture of him late at night inbetween practices and having an early schedule right in the morning, to be watching some new girl group that debuted with a new pop song, and having his eyes stuck to the main vocalist.
Right after the video ended (and his heart still punching against his ribcage) he searched for the girl’s profile, typing the group name into the searching bar with excitement just to the thought of finally finding her name out.
Only an hour later, Hanbin had discovered his elder curled up on the couch holding his phone only inches away from his face and he could hear girls’ voices echoing from his phone.
“Who are you watching?” He asked. Jinhwan ignored him only to laugh at whatever’s happening on his phone’s screen. Hanbin waited again, crossing his arms, yet Jinhwan was still glued to his own world.
Because of the silence it was easy for him to hear from his phone that a girl was very obnoxiously doing an aegyo, then followed by giggles and screams of other girls. Hanbin noticed Jinhwan’s reaction which was smiling so wide that it almost looks like he’s about to split his face in half in any second.
“You’re crushing on some girl group? What a miracle,” he huffed, almost laughing at his own joke, but Jinhwan still haven’t turn his cheek to him.
Finally giving up, Hanbin snatched the phone from his grip to see a YouTube video of compilations of this girl group’s member cute moments. Immediately, Jinhwan jumped and grabbed it from Hanbin’s palm, clutching to it as if it’s his best treasure in life.
Ever since that day, all of the boys knew how Jinhwan had slowly but surely developed a crush on her. He used to anticipate for practices to end quickly because all he wanted to do is sleep, but now it’s because he wants to watch her daily latenight V App broadcasts. His heart jolts everytime she smiled unconciously as she reads through each comment, searching for a paticular interesting one to read out loud.
“Unnie, who is your ideal type in iKON? Mine is Jinwhan<3” Jinhwan typed and quickly tapped his finger on the send button hoping it wouldn’t drown by hundreds of new ones coming up. He knew what he was doing was incredibly ridiculous and he thanked god none of the members saw this or else he would get called ‘Jinhwan noona’ for the rest of his life.
“Someone asked me who’s my ideal type in iKON! Isn’t this a bit hard to answer?” She laughed and hummed for a few seconds. All Jinhwan could do behind the screen was cross his fingers and maybe he was a little excited that she’d noticed his comment. Just a little bit.
“Maybe, Junhoe? He sings really well and not to mention his ridiculous height,” She replied. Jinhwan froze, feeling a sudden huge weight of jealousy towards Junhoe dropped on him and his hope shattering on the floor but it was quickly built when she continued, “But I don’t like being called a noona. I’d rather date someone older or around my age, so maybe my final answer would be Jinhwan too!”
Holy fucking shit.
The next day was a day off for them, and without any second thought Jinhwan had dragged Junhoe out from the dorm to buy his favorite order of coffee at the cafe they never forgot to come to. It was obvious how Junhoe’s conciousness was still in the process of regaining itself considering he’d just woke up 10 minutes ago.
They’ve always come to this cafe ever since their trainee days with Seunghoon and Jinwoo and right here is the place where they like to draw out their most random image of their future together.
Seunghoon always said that one day he will adopt a puppy and will name it after a famous scientist, Jinwoo had thought of buying himself a car and drive around the city, Junhoe dreamt of having a solo album, and Jinhwan shared his dream of having an idol girlfriend right after debut.
Of course, none of them took his words seriously, considering how YG himself would probably scold him right at that moment. But after seeing her only through 480p videos and low quality broadcasts, he didn’t even care.
And that’s why Junhoe’s tugging away from Jinhwan’s death grip when he saw her at the cashier.
With wide eyes and gaping mouth Jinhwan had to sprint off to the table near the large window and he felt like hiding himself under it. “Junhoe, she’s there!” The younger could only roll his eyes and sighed out a quiet ‘obviously’.
Jinhwan’s thoughts were severely mixed and twisted as his stomach tightened in knots. There she was, standing ever so innocently, eyes scanning around the coffee shop as she waited for her order to be finished. Jinhwan observed her so well that he could almost count of how many times she blinked in a minute.
“Are you gonna keep sitting right here and not get your ass there?” Junhoe questioned as his fingers toyed with the tissue on the table. Finally deciding on his decision, he stood up and walked to the cashier.
Junhoe watched him making steps towards the cashier, and it was very clear of how unnatural his expression was. God, Junhoe just wanted to flee back to their dorm rather than to watch this painful moment.
“Can I have more tissue?” Jinhwan asked to the guy behind the cashier with the pointed nose and narrow eyes. He handed the requested item that Jinhwan didn’t neccesarily need but it was the only scenario pictured in his head, so he had to went along if he wanted to close the distance with her.
It was insane of how fast his heart was beating. He’d been playing with the zipper on his jacket hoping that somehow it would gain some attention from her, but no results. Then, a brilliant idea popped into his mind.
Jinhwan hummed a song. He was humming a small part from her debut song, to be more specific. In fact, he knew it was such a ridiculous thing to do and it made the situation even more cringeworthy for poor Junhoe who just wanted to buy a vanilla latte.
Ridiculously, it worked. She immediately shifted her attention to him upon hearing the familiar melody, and she almost choked off of her own saliva after realizing of who was singing it. The moment their eyes were on each other, neither of them could conceal their bright smiles.
She’s loss for words when her favorite senior was right next to her, singing her song, showcasing his mesmerizing smile towards her. And Junhoe needs to go home. Now. He could feel the headache that he’s about to deal with if he continued to observe both of them.
“Ah, you’re one of the members of the new group aren’t you?” Jinhwan asked, the question sounding too obvious in his own head.
She could only nodded repeatedly, her eyes gazing blankly as she continued, “Senior also likes to come to this cafe as well?” Jinhwan had to bow his head down to momentarily hide the grin that truly shows off how excited he is over hearing her call him ‘senior’.
“I come here almost all the time,” He stated. She was about to went on but she noticed a pair of hands on Jinhwan’s shoulders and suddenly the hundreds of thousands of words she had acknowledged throughout her whole life were forgotten when Junhoe appeared out of nowhere and whispered a few short words to his elder, then continuing to give him a pat, and exiting the cafe.
“Am I dreaming? Did I just saw the Koo Junhoe himself by my own pair of eyes?” she bursted out gleefully, turning her eyes to half moons. Her reaction only made Jinhwan silently throw curses at Junhoe, but he was surprisingly good at covering it up and gave her a quick smile.
Suddenly, her phone lightened up, showing a contact name that Jinhwan couldn’t recognize on the phone. “What? Now? But we literally just got done practi─fine, whatever. I’ll be there,” and with a tap on the screen the call ended, a sigh leaving her lips.
“Practice?” Jinhwan guessed, sensing the disappointment in his own tone of voice. She replied with a small ‘yeah’ and grabbed her order from the table, “I’m so sorry, I have to go now,” she bowed deeply and flashed a smile that made Jinhwan’s heart throbbed.
Right before she went off, Jinhwan called her name and proceeded to ask a question that he’d waited for so long to ask, “Can I have your number?”
It actually took her a few seconds to understand what he was saying, until it crashed to her, turning her cheeks to a deep shade of red. “I- Yes, of course, senior.” She began recalling her number, realizing her voice was trembling from excitement.
After he created her contact he added on, “Oh, and no need to call me senior. Oppa’s fine by me.”
