ERA HIGHLIGHTS:
people lowkey ate this up ??
like we love to see idols interacting ! we really do ! or at least some people do
people thought that lai and areum were being too obvious about their relationship but honestly they weren’t ? like they interacted more as friends and only shared so much as a hug on camera so stop being such a drama queen
the amount of content on their social media was crazy
there was this one video on areum’s instagram where lai was doing his makeup and u just see peach in the background very obviously staring at his ass it was so funny
and then “baekhan gay” trended on twitter like it does every other day so areum went on live explaining that it was just their humour bc he did Not wanna be outed yk
also lai said that he wouldn’t be going on music shows anymore bc he is Done with that and would rather promote his own way
anyways this song was a phenomenon in smk everyone was singing it for like two weeks
like botanica did a vlive not long after it was released and at one point peach started humming his part and literally everyone else joined in
fruit basket , solar , chae , botanica , EVERYONE was singin this
there’s not much to say about this era honestly !!!! there wasn’t much promotion it was just a lil thing !!!!!
the song got a #1 on itunes for like two days and the mv got 3m views in the first 24 hours !!!
OHMYGOD i almost forgot they uploaded a cover of retro future by triple h to lai’s youtube and people were comparing them to triple h
(probably bc of the dating scandals but who knows)
people wanted them to do a special stage together on a music show and who knows !!! maybe they will !!!! we just gotta wait and see
BUT anyways this era was short but it was cute asf it was so so fun stream dayfly
— in which lai and areum wake up next to each other, yet again.
look out for some kissing , he puts his hands up her shirt but like that’s rlly all . and reference to sex ? i guess ?
this was one of jaebeom’s favourite ways to wake up.
the morning rose slowly, letting the world slowly expose and adjust to its bright light. when the first orange tinted rays of sunlight shone through the thin curtains and kissed the bed the couple laid upon, ahreum was the first to wake. as she let the warm light welcome her into the morning, she turned over to see her boyfriend still sound asleep in the bed beside her.
ahreum thought the way the sunlight was cast over his sleeping figure made him look like an angel, not that ahreum didn’t always think he looked like one. she couldn’t help but lean down and plant a soft kiss on his forehead, causing him to stir for a second.
when jaebeom’s eyes fluttered open finally, ahreum kissed him on the cheek again before he could even look up at her.
“well... good morning,” he mumbled when he finally tilted his head up to look her in the eyes.
ahreum laughed through her nose at his tired attempt at a smirk, and responded, “good morning,” their lips only a couple centimetres apart.
it seemed they both had the same idea, and in seconds, the gap between their lips was closed and just like that, their first kiss of the morning was shared and they felt gardens growing in their chests. slow and sweet, as opposed to the desperate, open mouthed kisses of the night before, shared in the exact same bedroom in the dead of night with only the city’s lights from outside barely illuminating them. mornings were always slower, softer, something everyone needs once in a while.
“did you sleep okay?” ahreum asked once they’d pulled away.
jaebeom nodded, “i always sleep good when you’re here with me.”
ahreum smiled. “good,” she whispered against his lips, leaning in for their second kiss of the morning, this time longer and more meaningful than the half asleep, almost second nature at this point lazy good morning kiss. ahreum laid a hand on his bare chest as she littered his cheeks, forehead, and nose with even more kisses.
when she gasped at jaebeom slipping a hand under her shirt (that was actually his shirt), he laughed. “what’s that about?”
“your hands are really dry,” ahreum crinkled her nose and laughed, “ever heard of lotion?”
“give me a break,” jaebeom huffed, “my hands get dry sometimes.”
ahreum planted one last kiss on his cheek before she sat up in bed, stretching her arms above her head and sighing. “do you want breakfast? i’m kinda in the mood for pancakes.”
jaebeom shrugged, still laying down and honestly not really wanting to get up at all, “whatever’s fine with you. i don’t eat breakfast most days anyway.”
“i know,” ahreum looked down at him, “you need to, it’s the most important meal of the day.”
“that’s bullshit, i can get through the day fine without eating breakfast,” he protested, to which ahreum reached down and ruffled his already messy hair.
jaebeom sat up finally, just in time to catch ahreum climbing out of bed and standing up as he swung his legs around so he could touch the floor. when she turned around to see him sitting on the edge of the bed looking up at her like a puppy, she carefully made her way back over to the bed and sat down in his lap.
once again, their lips pressed together, slow and sweet. the light from the thin curtains still cast over the bed, falling upon the couple, and, ahreum noticed when she pulled away, hit jaebeom’s eye in a way that made them look like dark pools of amber.
“you look so cute this morning,” she teased, moving her leg so she was basically straddling her boyfriend’s lap. it made his breath hitch in his throat. with his arms up her shirt and wrapped around her waist, he pulled her close into his embrace, their bodies pushed up together so close they could almost feel their hearts beating in synch.
jaebeom always noticed that ahreum was softer and just more affectionate overall in the mornings. not that she wasn’t affectionate other times of the day, but it was a different kind of affectionate that time of day. it was less fiery and exhilarating, instead it was more of a calm, euphoric feeling, the kind of affection that was almost second nature, but still so intimate it made you feel young and on top of the world. jaebeom didn’t think he’d ever achieve a feeling like this with someone else.
“i’ve been looking forward to this...” ahreum said lowly with half-lidded eyes, cupping his face in her hands. she moved one hand to run through his hair, somehow still silky soft despite his wild bedhead.
“oh really?” jaebeom teased, his hands roaming the soft skin of her torso. she nodded, smiling.
“i’ve REALLY been craving some pancakes!” ahreum suddenly said, standing up and making her way towards the door, leaving jaebeom sitting in the bed feeling like he’d gotten an ice pack shoved down the front of his pants.
when he started pouting, she turned around and added, “i do need to shower though...” giving him a look that pretty obviously stated what she was thinking. and with that, she opened the door and was down the hall towards the bathroom. jaebeom quickly scrambled out of bed and ran down the hall after her, giddy like a hormonal teenager. although he liked the soft and sweet side of their mornings... he didn’t mind this either.
can we just talk about how much of a dork this tiny little man is he’s such a dork
finger guns
peace signs
he’s the living embodiment of Every Bisexual Stereotype To Ever Exist
“i WILL fight my own ass in the desert !”
has not grown a single inch since he was 15 and he’s v embarrassed about it
he’s also a lil bit of a hoe but it’s cool everyone just needs to hoe around a little it adds character
LIKE one time when he was like 20 he was visiting some relatives in the same area and at the same time yoorim was visiting her family so she invited him over for dinner one night ! and then he and her brother ended up fucking !
yoorim’s still lowkey mad at him for that but he’s just like “hnng tall hot man”
he’s got the nickname “the baby brother of the krnb industry” and it’s the cutest shit ever like,,,,,,,;;;;;
“pull up, skrt”
he’s got quite the green thumb ! he loves gardening and just having lots of plants everywhere his dorm is full of plants that he sometimes forgets to water honestly it’s usually yoorim that comes over and is like “did u water the fuckin plants”
he takes selfies like those liam payne memes yk the ones
he’s naturally got such a quiet and sweet voice when he’s speaking in korean but when he’s speaking english he’s just yelling all the time yelling in a very heavy new yorker accent
his accent is hilarious actually it’s so funny
“not to get political but what the FUCK is oatmeal”
cracks his knuckles every chance he gets and it’s so gross and so loud he’s gross
he never buttons his shirt up all the way try and he’ll literally suffocate LET THE TIDDIES BREATHE
he’s a super touchy and affectionate person ! he likes to just come up behind his friends and just . wrap his arms around their waist and just fuckin squeeze
and he’ll rest his head on people’s shoulders and he’d to it to their heads if he was tall enough lolol
he gets used as an arm rest a lot >:(
“what’s wrong, bro? you keep staring at my big badonkadonk” ;)

Lai And Fruit Basket’s Areum Confirm Their Relationship
December 13th, 2019
After the rumour that came out over a week ago about these two, they’ve been in the public eye a lot within that time. Many people supported their relationship, while there were a few others that didn’t approve. This didn’t seem to bother the two, though.
A Twitter thread made by a fan by the name of Yewon went viral on December 11th. It mentioned that she was at his fan meeting and her and her friend were saying hi to him, and her friend asked how his relationship with Areum was going. He started to answer and then hesitated.
After this went viral, the couple decided to just confirm that they were actually dating. Starmaker Entertainment has also spoken out, and confirmed it also. None of the artists under SMKE are on a dating ban, so this has no affect on the future of their careers.
