You pried his fingers apart, earning a laugh. Then you groaned in response to his amusement at your struggling. He was touching his phone, and you were scared that the dark polish would transfer onto places it shouldn’t be. However, Hyeongjun didn’t mind much as long as it got him more time with you.
“Baby,” You whined, almost annoyed, but not really, “Stop moving too much.”
“I’m just trying to change the song,” He replied, “I know you wanna listen to Lana.”
You smiled slightly, trying to hide it—you loved having an attentive boyfriend who heard you singing Brooklyn Baby earlier. “You changed it two songs ago,” You commented, though not complaining anymore as the familiar guitar strings started to echo. “You just want to hear me sing, well, my boyfriend’s in a band again, don’t you?”
He stopped moving, and you focused on precisely following the shape of his nail-bed with the brush. He watched for a moment before speaking up, “yeah, actually, I do.”
You recalled listening to the song when you were younger, always dreaming of having a boyfriend in a band—pathetically, and a little, clichely—or one that, at least, played an instrument. The movies made it look so romantic, and you envied the preppy girl who always got the guy in the end.
You couldn’t help having a type.
“Oh-oh!” He moved his hand away, the brush swiping against his cuticle. “Look what I learned!”
You protested his excitement with irritation, “Wait a sec—Jun,” However he didn’t stop, applicator wand hanging pathetically in the air as you stared up at him, “Hyeongjun, you’re like a child who can’t sit still…which is ironic because I literally barely see you move.” You eyed him as you put said applicator back in the tiny glass jar, “If you’re just gonna keep making me mess up, I’m not gonna do them for you anymore.”
He paused getting up, mid-way in the air, his eyebrows coming together in the middle. “What? Why?” He mimicked being hurt, hands clutching the table. “You wouldn’t actually, right? Who would I—who would you match with then?”
“Stop moving then, baby,” He was right, you enjoyed matching; in more ways than just nails. “We could’ve been done by now.”
He pouted, and it finally hit you. He kept messing up his own nails because he didn’t want you to finish them quickly. You were his little sense of peace, the eye to his life that sometimes felt like a hurricane. He didn’t want you to close the glass jar because he didn’t want the moment to end, ever. He loved spending time with you even more than he did playing his guitar. He could spend hours on hours on hours getting scolded if it meant he got even five more minutes with you. He always dreaded the moment he had to leave you. And he knew you did too.
So, you both knew you’d let him use up all your nail polish remover, even if you fronted like you didn’t find it endearing.
In reality, you were lucky he liked matching his nails to yours, because you liked doing them, even if he (purposefully) moved a lot.
He didn’t heed the warnings of falling in love, but if you were the risk, then he was willing to take it.
“Hey, y/n,” He trailed off before sitting back down in the chair and outstretching his unfinished hand to you, “Do you think you could do my makeup next?”
You smiled at his question, “Only if you let me make you emo as hell, Junnie.”
He couldn’t help it, really, you were alluring and addicting.
Requested: ahhhh i’m not sure if you’re planning on doing all the xh members as your boyfriend, but i really loved your jooyeon and gunil ones!! could i request jun han next
[A/n: I don’t stan Itzy, there may be inaccuracies, if there are any just let me know so I can fix them :) [I tried my best! I just followed their discography on kprofiles tbh!]]
------
When it comes to his Venus astrology, his placement is Libra, stationed in the 11th house. Venus rules Libra (fun fact!) But since it is in the 11th house, like Jooyeon, his love comes from friendship. Libras, in general, like balance and do not enjoy arguing or engaging in unpleasantries. It’s a peaceful calm type of love, exactly what you would expect from a soft guy like him. Because of his introverted qualities, like Gaon, you’d have to keep knocking on the wall to find a door. [But when you do get let in, you meet a true fluffball. Worth it–]!
Thus–
There weren’t too many people that followed Itzy in your school or kpop in general. So, when someone in front of you dropped their phone in the middle of the hallway. You picked it up and flipped it over to see Ryunjin. In shock, you go, “You’re a Ryunjin bias?!” He gasps and nods his head frantically as he takes his phone back. You tell him, “I’m a Chaeryeong bias!” The two of you smiled as if you knew a secret, “I’m (Y/n), it’s nice to meet a fellow Midzy!” and he smiled, “I’m Hyeongjun.”
By their first comeback, you two were close enough to call each other friends. Although he enjoys his alone time, he is happy to share his interest with someone. You guys always celebrate their comebacks, birthdays, and learn all of their dances together. Now three years and nine comebacks later, the two of you are best friends.
After they debuted, he would realize he felt more than friendship for you. And while he would usually recede into his shell at a realization. His heart overpowered the notion and decided on making sure to include you in all parts of his world. While you’ve seen him practice and listened to him play millions of times, he would want you to see him with his group and everything–. Because his bandmates mean so much to him, he wants you to meld into his group.
And when he introduces you as his best friend to the group. They all accept you warmly, and you fit in so easily. His heart would melt at the fact that he sees Seungmin, Jungsu and you dancing together. [He would totally join in if they were moves to Itzy's songs]. Gunil definitely joins, and the three of you are trying to teach Gunil dance moves [And him doing it in his way ofc]. But it just ends with all of you in fits of laughter. Hyeongjun’s heart is warmer than the sun as he watches from afar.
It would take Jungsu less than an hour to deduce that Hyeongjun was head over heels for you. And would gently ask when Itzy was playing, although Hyeongjun was going up to dance, Jungsu would pop the question, “Do you like them?” And Hyeongjun goes beet red, “I um… I uh. Like Itzy, the group that’s playing? Of course!” Jungsu got his answer he was looking for, and he would pat him on the back and tell him to go after them. Hyeongjun was dying inside but surprisingly shook it off and danced with you to Wannabe.
It would probably take a few more months before Hyeongjun admits that he likes you to himself and accepts it. After all, you’re his best friend, how would you react?! [You like him back obv but he couldn’t tell nor could you].
He doesn't let the others confess for him. Since he wants to be the one to tell you, ofc IF he tells you, but knows he would stumble over his words. If he tried to confess to you out and out, he decides writing and playing you a song would be his best course of action.
When he gets it down and as perfect as he can, [after making the rest of the boys listen to it and critique it to it’s bones and back thirty times (if not more)]. He asks the boys to help him, and the five of them go about hanging string lights all around. Cleaning and making sure it was perfect for his confession. Gunil called you to come over to the studio, saying, “Hey, we want to show you our new song.” You excitedly agree and rush over to the studio.
But surprisingly, there is no one to greet you outside of the practice room like usual, so you knock and let yourself in quietly. Not knowing if they were in the middle of practicing or not [due to soundproofing]. Just to see Hyeongjun sitting down on a drum stool with his guitar over his lap, “Oh, where are the others?” You ask, and he shakes his head and goes, “It’s just me.” You smile, “Alright.” He gestures for the seat across from him. You sit down in front of him and finally take in the ambiance of the room.
“I have a song I wish to play for you.” And before giving you time to respond, he slowly starts strumming on the guitar as a beautiful melody floods through your ears so does his voice. It takes you until the chorus to figure out what the song was about and when you do, your cheeks are aflame. As he professes his love for you so elegantly and it takes everything in you not to stop him with a giant hug.
But you wait until he has finished, and he goes, “So–” He barely gets that word out before you have thrown your arms around him, guitar and all. “I like you too.” You say barely above a whisper. And he holds you tightly in his arms and goes, “Yes!”
First date: Hyeongjun kicks the rest of the members out of the dorm and invites you over. Because Itzy started this whole thing, he put on Itzy’s ITZY? ITZY! At their New York concert. While the two of you have seen it together before, it’s comforting to watch together. You bring a few snacks and drinks for the two of you to consume while you watch. The two of you curled up in each other's arms, genuinely enjoying the other's presence. [He totally would peck your lips and smirk before moving away quickly. [Prolly learned that from Jooyeon]].
He doesn’t show too much PDA, but he does enough. He will hold your pinky in his instead of full-on handholding. Adores giving and receiving back hugs. It's his favorite type of hug. He loves giving forehead kisses as much as he loves receiving them [Although he loves to peck your lips as much as you love to do it back]. Everyone in the group thinks your guy’s PDA is cute. They may poke fun, but they never truly tease like they would for Jooyeon or Gunil. Because one of you will be engaging in conversation, and the other pops up and rests their head on the other’s shoulder. Just enjoying and finding solace in each other’s company.
You guys always know what the other needs and are always right there. While it may have carried on from your friendship, it expanded to being in tune with one another when you entered a romantic relationship. ‘My Hyeongjun senses are tingling. He needs a back hug stat!’ [This is so adorable to me!]
Y’know how he likes to build models? He doesn’t really allow anyone in on that hobby. But since you have known him for so long and are with him officially. He would show you his collection and buy you one for you two to work on together. [I’m sobbing omg] His eyes would light up as you fit the last piece in, and the two of you finally get to paint the model. While he keeps most of his models pristine and clean, he would get that one framed in a glass box. And gift it to you on your first anniversary. [Would have you two build another one so you guys can have one in both your places].
You guys aren’t big on ‘couple items’ but trade sweaters all the time, “Hey, this one no longer smells of you. Can I get a new one?” Totally, own each other’s perfumes and spray them on your pillows to fall asleep.
You guys rarely, if ever, argue, not just because of his Venus placement. But because you two coincide so well together, there is never an issue that arises. And if there is, you two address it, immediately not wanting to keep your thoughts from each other.
You guys enjoy staying home but whenever there is a concert. A reasonable distance away, the two of you are sure to attend. Whether it means having to cool down from being with others for so long afterward or not, it’s worth every second and penny. You guys usually join the rest of the boys in karaoke and whatever other adventures they partake in usually.
You guys support each other’s dreams to the nth degree, always wanting the other to be happy in their chosen profession. Yes, you most certainly collect all of Hyeongjun’s pcs. [I’m begging for an album here–] “Babe, you know I could give you those for free–” Quick shake of your head, “Not the same.” You say as you open another album and unsuccessfully pull Jungsu for the twentieth time. “Of course, I ended up with a Jungsu curse.” He laughs as the two of you have each other’s bias curse in Itzy.
He treats you right, a peck here and a peck there. He finds solace in your company and loves you with his whole heart. He has a huge heart and always thinks of others before himself. His singing and guitar playing are otherworldly. He’s amazing. While he’s introverted and needs space for himself, he wouldn’t mind you sharing that space one bit.
He's an absolute sweetheart. Pinky promises to take care of him?
