❝ do you want your good luck kisses ? ❞ - sohyun & hansol!

✷ 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 ; fluff edition ( . 01 )

yes, sohyun wants her good luck kisses. she wants her good luck hansol in the room feeding her answers, too, but she isn't as likely to get that one. she knows she doesn't need to be nervous. she's been doing nails since she was in high school, she knows practically everything there is to know about it, but there's a lot riding on the results of her exam. better pay, for starters.

she's been working without a licence. which yes, she knows is very illegal. but she hadn't exactly been in a position to get one fresh out of high school. the salon she works at turns a blind eye to it, because she's good at what she does, and she's professional about it. but it also means they can take a bigger cut of her earnings, because it's not like she can complain to anyone about it. if she passes this exam, and gets her licence, she can move to a better salon with better rates.

which is where the pressure is coming from. she loves living with hansol, and she's glad she moved out as soon as she did, but... there's no denying their budget is tight. this could really help them out. she just... has to make sure she doesn't fail. it's like being in school again, but this time her exam results actually matter. maybe she should have asked her brother for studying tips, because the closer it gets to the time she has to leave, the less and less she seems to remember.

she folds into hansol's arms, face buried in his chest. maybe she should have listened to dohyun and studied harder in school. she could have had some high paying corporate job instead, and then none of this would matter. she could just paint hansol's nails for fun, instead of half their income depending on it. but that isn't very sohyun, is it? taking out her piercings, keeping her hair natural, trading in fishnet tights and leather jackets for neutral business attire? actually, maybe she'd rather die.

she feels a little better as she peels herself out of hansol's embrace. still nervous, still stressed, but better. if she doesn't believe in herself, she'll definitely fuck it up, so she has to believe in herself. ❝ i have to leave soon, ❞ she signs, and while she still feels a little deflated, she has enough time to give herself a few more pep talks along the way. ❝ you have to give me 100 kisses, though, or i won't pass. the examiner told me just now. ❞

"you know... this is so cute." sulyu smiles as he taps the back of jaeha's phone case, where he knows he keeps that one photo card he drew way back when and has kept with him ever since. "you could have any of these. the rare and special ones, the ones we never even released, but you like this one. it's adorable."

jaeha hadn't really known anything about kpop or its fan culture when he and sulyu had first started dating. he still doesn't know all that much now, either. sure, there had been a few girl group songs on his lip sync playlist, and he'd be lying if he said he didn't know the lyrics to every single hearts2hearts song regardless of their suitability for a show, but that's as far as his involvement goes.

but dating an idol... he feels like he should know more.

he'd learnt about the photocard thing from some girls in a cafe. he'd seen little pictures hanging off their bags, and intrigued, had asked about them. some group called boys next door, they'd said. jaeha had never heard of them. he'd thought it was so cute, though, and had immediately asked how you get them. which is how he'd ended up buying one of sulyu's albums. the whole thing had been so foreign to him -- he doesn't even own a cd player -- but the little pieces of paper inside had been his prize anyway. the next time he'd seen sulyu, he'd shown him it with such excitement, and it hasn't left his phone case since. even when he's been offered others by the man himself; rare ones that any of his fans would sell a kidney to get their hands on, or event exclusive ones that only exist for a lucky few.

but he likes this one, because it's the one that came to him.

❝ you look so handsome in it, ❞ jaeha says shyly, the tips of his ears glowing pink as he catches sulyu's gaze. jaeha is biased, of course. he thinks sulyu looks handsome all the time. it's why he'd struggled to look at him without his cheeks burning when they'd first started dating. he's made progress since then, he thinks. now he only blushes when sulyu starts taking his clothes off. ❝ i like it because it's the first one i ever had. that means it's the one that was meant for me, right? ❞

he knows it isn't actually that deep. that there are plenty of other people with the exact same photocard, because it's all down to random chance. but it was random chance that sulyu happened to be in the same gay bar that jaeha performs at the night they met. he could have gone anywhere, but he chose to go there, and the rest is history. just like jaeha's impulsive album purchase. ❝ it makes me feel like you're with me all the time, too. like i get to take you places even when we can't be together. that's why i like it so much... ❞
