My Masterlist
Soonyoung’s name and image popped up on your screen as he called for the fourth time now, and you struggled to sit up from the couch. The itchy feeling of having slept in your work uniform was making you cringe. Luckily, you managed to sit with your legs crossed without getting too tangled in the blanket.
“Soonyoung, I’m so sorry.” You answered and spoke first, using your free hand to wipe the tiredness from your eyes. He brushed it off in instant understanding of the situation, just by the sound of your voice.
“It’s alright, I figured you’d oversleep after a night shift,” You haven’t known him long, but him chuckling at your expense was something you’ve come to expect of the lighthearted man. “Are you still feeling up to tonight?”
He sounded so optimistic, something else you’ve grown unused to from him. After working together for almost 2 years, there were lots of things you knew him for.
“Of course, I shouldn’t take long. If I'm not outside when you get here, you can wait in the driveway.” You tried to sound excited, which you were, but the grogginess wasn’t fading. You could hear a sigh of relief from the other end of the line.
“Alright, take your time. I’ll leave in about half an hour and it takes a while to get to your side of town, so… you don’t need to feel rushed.” His voice lowered to a soft volume and he stammered over his words. He wanted to make you comfortable, even if it meant waiting a few more hours.
He wasn’t embarrassed about it, but not only did he invest in an iron just to press his outfit, but he ordered a bouquet for you days ago, and that bouquet was now buckled in his passenger seat so he wouldn’t forget to bring it.
And he would wait as long as it took. He'd been waiting this long to get you to even notice him, a few more hours was nothing.
“Thanks Soonie, I’ll see you later, okay?” The smile was audible in your voice this time while you pressed the phone a bit closer and spoke quietly, as if anyone were even around to hear. The butterflies in his chest kicked up a storm at the sound. He hastily agreed and hung up first, falling into a mushy mess on his desk at the mere idea of holding your hand.
One cold shower later, plus the adrenaline and anxiety of going on a date, brought you to your senses enough to get ready. You trusted Soonyoung and took time making sure everything looked like you’d imagined it to, not wanting to give Soonyoung any less than 100 percent, despite how lethargic you still felt.
You gave yourself one final glance over before leaving, and before you could even turn to close the door behind you, so froze.
Soonyoung was leaning leisurely against the hood of his car when his eyes met yours. In his hands was a bouquet of fresh red roses resting in a simple glass vase. Tied In a loose bow around the neck of that vase was a matching red silk ribbon and sitting among the petals was a card. His sneakers were a similar, but much brighter shade of red, much like the bowtie that sat slightly askew under the collar of his tucked white dress shirt. Even his thin belt was red, holding his black slacks on his hips comfortably.
A memory of him enthusiastically telling you about how he'd just learned the intricate symbolism of the color red flashed in your mind. How romantic. You couldn’t help but chuckle, out of nervousness and surprise.
“So, this is why you demanded I wear red?” You approached him and chuckled at seeing his ears turn pink. He bowed his head shyly, hiding his eyes behind his bangs as he extended the base to you. Any awkwardness fled you as you finally realized the severity of him offering you his affection so candidly. The anxiousness was coming from him like waves off the shore.
Time seemed to tick by agonizingly slow, and Soonyoung worried his clammy fingers wouldn’t be able to hold the vase much longer. His eyes were shut firmly and he had hoped you wouldn’t notice how tense his entire body was. He trusted that you wouldn’t say something in this situation that would hurt him, but he braced himself all the same.
“Oh my god…” You didn’t notice you were speaking allowed. In his own fear, he didn’t notice you had taken the card from the flowers. On it read a simple confession: I’ve always liked you.
Somehow, being asked on a date did not make this concept click in your head until reading it explicitly in that moment.
“I love you!” You finished, like getting a heavy weight off your shoulders, and it brought a wave of relief over your body. The waves of pressure coming from Soonyoung, however, snapped back to him tightly like a rubber band.
His eyes darted up , scanning your face for hints of a lie or teasing. He only found the same look of shock that was across his own features.
“What did you just say?” He asked, and the sound if his voice rung in your head like beating drums. Now, after all this time, and only after being given a gift and needing to be told directly, did you recognize your own feelings. They’d even jumped from your tongue before you even thought them yourself.
Despite this frustrating self realization you try to stay composed, taking the vase from his hands and holding it in the crook of your arm, then putting your free hand on his shoulder.
“Are you blushing?” You teased, but squeezed his shoulder gently in attempts to help ground him.
“N-no! This is just- it’s my natural complexion, so lay off!” Soonyoung pouted, jerking his shoulder to remove your hand and crossing his arms over his chest. You giggled sincerely, holding the vase fondly while your mind grew more comfortable with its own emotions by the second.

PEYTON. FUCK. THOSE TWO LITERALLY FIGHT IN MY BRAIN FOR OWNERSHIP OF MY HEART
okay uhmmm... honestly i think jooheon. idk exactly what it is about him maybe bc he’s a big floofy teddy bear but i think it’s bc he’s ambitious and modest in his interest + achievements !! it’s something i really admire in a person ☺️💫
he also reminds me of this:
send me 2 idols and i’ll tell you which one is more my ideal type!
