Lilacs (or you being Hyunjin's model) - H. Hyunjin x gn!reader
Summary: You being Hyunjin's muse for his new piece of art 💕
AN: I had a huge inspiration in the middle of the night yesterday, so I hope you like it ❤️
"Do you want me to stand like this? Or, maybe like this?" you asked your boyfriend for his opinion as the artist.
You were currently in Hyunjin's little art studio after he proposed that you would be the muse of his new painting. You immediately agreed and that is how you ended in front of him surrounded by lilacs that filled the room with the pleasant aroma of spring and a new beginning. Actually, Hyunjin didn't choose lilacs by accident. He informs you that they are a symbol of the first love, the one that always leaves its mark on the two lovers. That is what you were to each other - you met in high school and you have faced the thrills and trials of love as yet inexperienced, but there you were 5 years later - still in love like the first year.
Hyunjin looked one last time to check if the set up was fine before giving you last instructions.
"Put your elbow at the top of the table and put your chin on it. Yeah, exactly. That's it! Perfect!"
He gave you thumbs up. You blushed a little. Even though you have been together for 5 years straight, Hyunjin still knew ways to make you blush. One of them - painting or drawing you. Either you would sleep and he would draw you without your knowledge or you would be doing something else. That was his way of showing you that he cares and adores you.
"And I have to stay like this for hours?" you joked with him.
"Well, you agreed. Plus, it's not my fault that you are so beautiful. Actually, the lilacs are complimenting your whole existence, y'know?"
"Thank you, art boy." you answered.
"Not even one I love you, too or something? Even after I made you my model?" he asked with offended expression and a hand over his heart. "I think my heart can't take it."
You giggled while trying to hold your pose.
"Oh, c'mon, baby, you know I love you more than anything."
"Only that?" Hyunjin's face was now contorted as if in pain which made you laugh more.
"Are you gonna paint me or not? Because I am getting a bit tired." you fake yawned.
Hyunjin gave you one last smile before making the first stroke at the blank canvas in front of him reminding him of the first steps you took until you both built the bond you have now.
As the brush danced across the canvas, Hyunjin's focused gaze shifted between you and the emerging artwork. The lilacs began to take shape, each stroke echoing the five years of shared memories and the unspoken promises between you two.
"You make it look so easy," you remarked, breaking the silence in the studio.
He chuckled, "Well, it helps when you have the most inspiring muse."
The room was filled not only with the scent of lilacs but also with the warmth of shared history. Hyunjin continued to paint, occasionally stealing glances at you, capturing not just your physical form but the essence of your connection.
As the painting progressed, so did the conversation. You reminisced about the first time you met, the challenges you faced, and the simple joys that strengthened your bond. The lilacs became more than symbols; they became witnesses to your journey.
As the final touches were added, Hyunjin stepped back to admire his creation. The painting depicted more than just a scene—it told a story of love, growth, and the beauty found in shared moments.
"I think it's done," he said, looking at you with a satisfied smile.
You approached the canvas, eyes tracing the lines that mirrored your intertwined lives. "It's perfect," you whispered, feeling a surge of gratitude for the artist who turned your love into a timeless piece of art.
The painting found its place in your home, a testament to the enduring love that started in high school and continued to flourish in the small art studio filled with lilacs and sunlight.
