[09:00] lee donghyuck + don’t look sad by day6 (even of day)
summer had arrived. wrapping everything into fuller greens along with the warm embrace of hot aromatic air. the whole neighborhood enhanced as a vibrant one, colors popping like some sort of chromatic display. it was almost as if it was taken from a cinematic scene. although summer wasn’t your favorite season of the year, you’ve definitely developed some kind of fascination towards it. probably because it had the same smell of crape myrtles and dried apricots, saccharine and mingling with the salty ocean air reminding you all of your best memories.
you briefly close your eyes when the morning breeze caresses your face. early summer mornings in the countryside were perfectly adequate compared to the city, the air is cool which mostly motivates you to do morning walks and some house errands. especially the ones that your grandmother specifically asked you to do, and you needed help with them.
and they definitely would be done by now if it wasn’t for this sleazeball sprawled on the tatami floor living his life like a log.
you placed a hand on your hips and nudged donghyuck’s sides with your foot. “hey, wake up. if you think you could get away by pretending to sleep, think again.” you nudge him again.
he let out a groan and groggily says, “stop doing that…i still haven’t forgiven you for bringing me into that godforsaken beach–or if you could even call that a beach.”
for a city boy like him, it had been his long-time dream to experience and see rural parts of the country where life is just slow and pretty much relaxed. he always imagined it to be as beautiful as the television and magazines perceived it to be. mountains ideal for trekking, sparkling white-sand beaches, and varieties of palatable food. that’s why when he learned that you are going back home for summer vacation, he didn’t let the chance of coming with you slipped from his fingers.
“huh? it’s not my fault you didn’t listen to me, you idiot. do rocky sounds sandy to you?” you pointed out, eyebrows furrowing. “enough of that, we’re running errands!”
“again?!”
it took longer than expected. your grandmother wasn’t expecting a number of tourists to graced her little restaurant this morning, that’s why she asked you to stay a bit more and help to tend to her customers. you never thought of it as a problem, in fact, you enjoyed doing your part. your only concern was the boy beside you. you have no idea if he feels the same.
you adjusted your straw hat and glanced at him. yes, the sun reflecting on the calm seawater was beautiful. yet in all of this, the sunshine on donghyuck’s honey skin is a real dreamboat. they were the prettiest combination you’ve always been in love with.
“i could accompany you to the port tomorrow,” you spoke out. almost inaudible, but you hoped it reached his ears. “this place is really remote. i don’t think this is the place you’d want to spend a good time for the whole summer.”
only silence enveloped the two of you. you opt just to zero in on the little pebbles on the pavement while waiting for him to speak his mind. you never told him about it but donghyuck asking to tag along with you to your hometown sent a blossoming feeling in your chest. after all, he’s the only person that managed to get through the walls you’ve built around yourself.
your musings were brought to a halt by a warm hand interlacing with yours.
“you don’t really get it, do you? spending time with you under this summer sun is enough for me to have a good time.”

jaemin had tried his best to ignore it. like for real.
whether it be scribbling in his notebook, staring back to his laptop and trying to read the contents from it, playing with the google chrome dinosaur; he has done it all. although none of it made little to no sense anymore—for he always finds himself staring back at you; his head propped on an elbow, eyes laced with nothing but pure adoration.
at this point, he had given up. he’s certain you’ve caught him plenty of times enough for you to give him your attention.
and it seems like it does the trick.
you sigh, you took one of your earphones off before you stare back at him across the table. “jaem, do you need something? you’ve been staring too much.”
you could only wonder why is he doing that other than do his own homework: a thing that is inarguably worthy of his attention than you.
“do it again.” he said.
“do what, na?”
“sing for me.”
and oh boy, did his heart swell from the sight of your heat-up cheeks and furrowed eyebrows. you’re so damn cute jaemin wants to kiss you on sight.
“what...are you stupid?”
“i probably am, will you sing for me now?”
only you could make his own world stop even if you didn’t meant to. well, although he’s not blaming you–sometimes he just wants to hold you accountable for it.
“was it an akmu song? say, you really know what i like, huh?” a sly smile spread his lips.
he might act stupid around you all the time, but he’s not real dumb. it was small and barely noticeable, however, the fact that he is all ears for you every single time–quite literally–was enough for him to hear it.
“i wasn’t singing for you!”
gotcha. “so, you were singing!” he said, enthusiasm in his voice evident.
everyday you learn something. today, na jaemin, learned that the person he likes has the lips of an angel. so, his best friend, donghyuck, wasn’t lying when he said that you can actually sing, huh?
holy hell, he’s certain that it would forever be engraved in his mind.
the strings of tones and melodies coming from your lips was enough to put him in reverie. it was lovely, and he wished you’d never stop because jaemin wouldn’t mind getting lost to it.
