[3:29 pm] you took a deep breath as you scrolled through the list of loving nicknames on your phone. you and boyfriend!haechan have been dating for a while, and you figured that as much as you loved calling him ‘hyuck’, a more endearing pet name might mean a new step in your relationship, one where sweeet labels can show the love you have for him.
"____, what's on your mind?" the cheeky boy asks, leaning his head onto your shoulder. you close your eyes, "nothing much, honey."
"honey?" he laughs, giving you a bizarre stare, "that sounds so strange. i'm not used to you being cute."
you try to frown, but haechan’s fingers playing with your cheeks make you grin in response, "fuck off. then, how about dear? or baby?"
"baby is nice, but i feel like a child," haechan pouts, his hands resting on his chin, "maybe something more manly?"
you pause, looking through the website, "then, oppa?"
there’s no response, and when you glance away from your phone to look at him, you find that your boyfriend’s face is frozen, completely washed with a pink tint. for a second, you're positive you've upset him, but the feeling disappears once he gives you a cocky smirk, "say that again."
"oppa?" you mumble, confused. haechan's face is devious and bright, a boyish charm shining through, and he presses his chin over your shoulder, "i couldn't hear you, can you be louder?"
"op - wait. you can hear me just fine, can't you?" you give haechan an accusatory glare when you spot his shit-faced grin and proceed to playfully punch his arm until the both of you lose yourselves in fits of laughter. haechan takes a deep breath and strokes your hair, his voice breathless, "you can call me oppa. it sounds nice."
