( 🎸⋆⭒˚｡⋆ ). Yehan knew he should trust Theo, but something.. something — he had a thought that everyone he hung around was going to get hurt in someway.           ❛ You’re right, sorry Theo.. I must just be paranoid or something. ❜            The man swallowed hard but still kept a close gaze on Theo, his hand lightly tracing over the males hand.

[vantehae]

❝ yeah ... paranoid is an understatement. ❞ comes the dry tone from theo's lips as his eyes shift warily around, darting from wall to wall. he's stopped tugging⸺stopped trying to get out of yehan's hold, but that didn't mean he still wasn't the slightest bit worried about his reaction. and it's shown in the way his features soften slightly as he tilts his head to the side. ❝ do you uh ... wanna talk about what's got you so jumpy? maybe there's something i can do to help. these guys⸺they're cool, i promise. i always do background checks before i collab with somebody face to face. ❞

Headcanon: Cone has a fondness for shark 🦈

(I haven't thought about the reason yet but I heard somewhere that he said detectives are like shark or something 🤔)

[pandoras-tear]

I love seeing content where Shinichi forgets that he’s not Conan anymore, but I NEED to see content where everyone else forgets that he’s not Conan anymore.

Ran scolds him for “getting himself into trouble” and Shinichi has to stand there getting lectured in front of the police for doing his actual, adult job.

Heiji tries to lift Shinichi up to show him evidence, forgetting that they’re only inches apart in height now. Shinichi just kinda hangs there until he’s put down.

Kogoro yells at Shinichi for leaving the house so late and he has to explain that he’s going back to his own house. To sleep. Because he lives there.

The detective boys break into Shinichi’s house to whine about him not showing up to school that day, forgetting that he goes to college now. They pout so much when they remember that Shinichi has to promise to walk them to and back from school the next day. Haibara thinks it’s hilarious.

Akai keeps calling him “Boya” despite Shinichi being very clearly an adult man now, and Shinichi’s not entirely sure if he’s fucking with him or not.

[blessedrulers]

The command came so easily, it nearly left Ji speechless, drawing a scoff of disbelief from lips turned upward. It’d be far too easy to take that bait — though something about the way Jihyun didn’t back down, invited the challenge even, reminded Ji why he liked him. His tongue touched the inside of his cheek, unable to help the way he looked him over, now in a new light. Deciding whether he was serious.

Finally, Ji approached Jihyun as he rolled up his sleeve, holding his bare forearm out, marked sporadically with thin scars. He’d spare the man from a dare to bite anywhere else, in case Jihyun lost his nerve… but Ji’s response, easy and casual, came without mercy.

“Alright, come on. Make it hard.”

[vantehae]

he  expected  this.  for  ji-min  to  give  into  his  threats  because  well  [  ...  ]  that  was  the  kind  of  person  he  was,  just  from  what  he's  shown  jihyun.  confident  to  a  tee,  knowing  exactly  how  much  he  can  take  and  being  so  very  willing  to  test  those  limits  if  he's  tempted  to.  and  oh  boy⸺jihyun's  tempted  him,  it  seems.  and  with  the  way  his  sleeve  rolls  up  as  jihyun  approaches,  leading  him  to  gaze  down  at  his  forearm,  at  the  tiny  scars  that  litter  his  skin.  they  look  good  on  him  [  ...  ]  but  maybe  he  was  biased.  he's  always  thought  ji-min  was  an  attractive  man.  and  the  admittance  of  that  in  his  brain  makes  him  swallow  carefully⸺flushing  the  slightest  bit.

"you're  too  much."  comes  the  brief  chiding  from  the  other  man,  before  his  slender  fingers  curls  themselves  around  ji-min's  wrist,  lifting  the  arm  up.  closer  to  his  mouth.  eye  contact  is  kept  while  he  parts  his  lips,  teeth  slowly  sinking  into  the  skin  of  his  arm,  jaw  stiffening  to  apply  more  pressure  with  the  intent  of  drawing  some  noise  from  ji-min.  whether  it  was  a  grunt,  groan,  or  a  hiss⸺it  didn't  matter.

[bulsoitan]

he's being squeezed, now, and the retort that jay has on his tongue slowly fizzles out. it's better not to argue, he thinks -- especially when rowan gets focused on something like this. he's so intense, so specific when he wants something. and jay, willing and patient, simply lets him have it. so, fondly, he chuckles. ❛ braids seem complicated, ❜ he starts. ❛ but -- you're right. i'm sorry. i'm just not used to people... pulling at my hair like this. most of the time, i just brush it, maybe toss it up, and... ❜ he trails off, gestures in the air. it seems there's a lot for him to learn.

❛ i should respect the process, ❜ he concedes, smile a little softer as he starts -- then stops himself from turning over his shoulder. instead, he stares straight ahead. ❛ and remind me what the look is, again, ❜ he tacks on, teasing him only slightly.

[vantehae]

"which  is  awful.  you  have  really  healthy  hair,  jay.  you  should  play  around  with  it  a  little  more⸺or  at  the  very  least  let  someone  else  do  it.  it's  so  soft  and  pretty...  and  given  your  facial  structure,  you  could  really  pull  off  so  many  different  hairstyles  without  even  having  to  chop  off  any  length."  rowan  goes  on  a  brief  ramble,  having  to  shut  himself  up  afterwards  as  he  sighs,  flexing  out  his  fingers  to  get  any  cramps  out  of  them  before  he  attempts  the  braid  he  was  trying  to  do  on  the  sides  of  jay's  head  yet  again.  being  a  figure  skater  meant  he  was  constantly  conscious  of  how  he  looks,  wanting  to  come  off  as  perfect  every  time  he  went  outside  or  he  was  on  the  ice.  and  [  ...  ]  maybe  that  bled  into  how  seriously  he  was  taking  this.  just  a  little.

"don't  be  mean."  he  pouts  to  himself,  huffing  as  he  rolls  his  eyes  again.  "we're  trying  to  go  for  something  elevated.  maybe  even  fierce...even  though  not  a  single  part  of  you  is  fierce.  but  we  can  fix  that  with  some  makeup,  i'm  great  at  doing  a  sharp  eyeliner  look."

he's immediately a blushing mess the second the nickname falls from taeyang's mouth. head shaking, he turns, tries to bury his face into the top of his husband's hair with a soft grin. "stop it," he starts first, fingers squeezing at his shoulder before pressingon. "but... yeah. for now. needed to take a break. if i kept staring at the screen, i think my eyes would've fallen out." his eyes cut to the book on the table. "did i interrupt you?"

[vantehae]

"maybe  i  would,"  he  begins  in  a  teasing  purr,  his  fingers  slipping  up  jay's  shirt  in  a  shameless  manner,  gently  tracing  over  his  smooth,  pale  skin,  as  they  always  do  whenever  he  has  a  chance  to  get  his  hands  on  his  husband.  "if  you  weren't  so  sexy.  i  seriously  married  the  sexiest  man  alive,  i  have  to  appreciate  it  sometimes!  i'd  appreciate  that  perky  ass  of  yours  if  you  let⸺"  he  purposefully  cuts  himself  off  with  a  little  giggle,  leaning  back  in  his  spot.  "you  always  get  sucked  into  those  games  ...  god,  i  remember  one  time  you  played  for  almost  half  a  day,  it  was  crazy."  his  own  eyes  fell  to  the  book  and  he  shakes  his  head.  "no,  you're  never  a  bother.  i  was  starting  to  get  to  a  stopping  point  so  i  could  make  some  tea.  do  you  want  a  cup?"

[bulsoitan]

despite the offended tone that laces taeyang's words, jay's not listening. the second he's face to face with those eyes, those lips, he's a goner. whatever they were fake arguing about disappears from his brain, and jay doesn't stop the way he holds him a little closer, tucks him against his chest and wraps a leg around his calf to keep him there. ❛ you're the best thing to happen to me, baby, ❜ he parrots, the words falling from his lips with ease. without a second thought.

when tae turns in his arms, threatens to give the studio an earful, he simply chuckles, shakes his head. ❛ as hot as you are when you yell at people, ❜ he starts, reaching down to wrap his fingers around tae's wrist, ❛ you don't have to, aegiya. it was just a lot of footwork today -- doing it over and over again makes me dizzy sometimes. i'm just happy to be home with you -- sleeping for twelve hours will fix me. pinky promise. ❜

leaning back, he lets taeyang talk about his day -- it's rare that his idol husband gets a moment to breathe. knowing he was able to relax, even if chores were littered in, makes him sigh comfortably. ❛ i'm afraid that's what happens when you have kids, love. grandbabies are always gonna come first. and in the case of sunny -- the princess of all time -- can you really blame them? besides, ❜ trailing off, jay ducks down, nudges their noises together, ❛ that just means i get you all to myself tonight, right? ❜

[vantehae]

taeyang  happily  allows  himself  to  be  tucked  into  jay's  chest,  finding  comfort  there  as  he  always  does.  one  hand  against  his  chest,  idly  rubbing  over  his  pec,  feeling  his  cheeks  burn  a  gentle  warmth,  he  mumbles  under  his  breath,  affectionate  in  nature.  “okay  well,  so  long  as  that's  all  then  i  have  no  need  to  interfere.  but  i  swear,  i  hear  one  thing  about  your  team  treating  you  wrong  and  im  gonna  make  sure  they  respect  you.”

he  chuckles  softly  to  himself  and  nods  in  agreement  to  his  words,  smiling  more  when  he  feels  jay's  nose  brush  against  his,  an  action  of  love  they've  always  done  because  they  just  couldn't  keep  their  attention  and  hands  off  of  each  other.  and  why  would  they?  when  they  had  to  deprive  themselves  of  each  other  so  often  when  they  were  younger.  now  that  they  were  married  and  lived  together⸺taeyang  could  be  as  selfish  as  he  wanted. 

"i  can't  even  be  that  mad  because  she  is  the  cutest  baby  to  ever  exist.  we  really  did  good  with  her,  honey.  she's  you  all  over."  he  gushes,  reaches  to  cup  the  sides  of  jay's  face  as  he  holds  him  steady  while  he  kisses  his  lips  several  times.  "mhhhmm.  i'm  all  yours.  did  you  have  any  ideas?  oh,  we  can  play  that  new  co-op  game  you  got  off  of  steam  a  few  days  ago.  i'm  actually  not  too  exhausted  to  play."

[xgeumbit]

seeing the other at ease brings a certain type of calm and contentedness to minsu's mind. they've watched sol enough times to know how hard he works to make sure everything with the group was in order and they were happy. much like how he was smiling right now.

minsu's eyes follow the way sol swipes away the remnants of his drink, head slowly tilting to follow until the spell is interrupted by his response. "hours? goodness, how would you get anything done?" they're quick to compose themselves, the slip easy enough to cover up with a laugh behind his sleeve. "well, i'd let you if we both didn't have jobs, but..." a finger lightly taps at the space on the table where both of their phones lay face down. "— you can always ask me to send a selfie for you. as long as you send me some of you too." the convenience store owner is already as forward as one comes, with or without alcohol added in the mix, so this isn't anything new between them.

"that all you wanna do? just look at me all day, every day?" it seems like he was fishing for a compliment, but they truly want to know what goes through sol's mind regarding anything.

[vantehae]

"well  ...  you  know  me.  i  make  sure  i  get  everything  done  in  a  timely  manner.  i  can't  neglect  my  duties  ⸺  even  if  it  means  i'll  be  able  to  admire  such  a  beauty  like  yourself."  he  sounds  slightly  cheeky,  dimples  on  display  as  he  grins,  eyes  shifting  down  to  the  phones  on  the  table.  and  well  [  ...  ]  when  they  suggest  sending  him  photos  of  themselves,  how  could  he  possibly  refuse?  they  were  being  so  kind  enough  to  offer  and  besides⸺the  idea  of  being  able  to  possibly  make  their  photos  his  phone's  background  was  very  tempting.  even  if  he  knew  he  would  probably  have  to  change  it  immediately  after  due  to  the  nosiness  of  taeyang  and  seonghwa  both,  and  he  didn't  want  to  bother  hearing  their  questions.

"i  think  we  can  arrange  that.  you  send  me  a  photo  a  day  and  i'll  send  you  one  too.  i'm  very  fair."  sol  replies  with  a  single  nod,  reaching  for  his  glass  again  to  sip  at  it,  trying  not  to  react  too  much  to  the  obvious  probing  for  compliments⸺but  he  does  giggle  a  little.  minsu  was  so  obvious.  "maybe..."  he  drawls  out  carefully.  "hold  you  in  my  arms  and  talk  about  how  gorgeous  you  are.  how  no  one  could  possibly  compare.  would  you  like  that?"

@vantehae liked for a starter

Soft laughter came from the teen as his brown furry tail continued to wiggle slightly behind him until he wrapped it around his waist just like his father had taught him. "Dad says a saiyan takes great pride in his tail..although mom said I should pay close attention to the phases of the moon otherwise I'll turn into a monster and wreck everything. SO I was thinking why don't I train myself to not lose control when I turn into a great ape. I betcha dad'll be soo proud of me if I wind up doing this without his help."

[vantehae]

goten  watches  his  friend  excitedly,  grin  present  on  his  features  as  his  own  tail  sways  lazily  behind  him.  he's  always  thought  that  trunks  was  so  cool  and  smart,  ever  since  they  were  children  and  this  was  no  different.  how  did  he  not  think  of  doing  the  same?  even  though  his  mom  never  let  him  stay  out  past  when  the  sun  went  down  when  she  knew  there  was  going  to  be  a  full  moon  [  ...  ]  so  he  never  had  to  worry  about  the  risk  of  turning  into  a  great  ape  and  rampaging  around  mt.  paozu. 

"that  makes  sense.  gohan  told  me  about  the  time  he's  turned  into  a  great  ape  ...  he  doesn't  remember  it  too  well,  only  that  he  destroyed  everything  in  his  path.  it  was  wicked."  he  explains,  shivering  a  little  at  the  thought.  "but  wait  ...  how  exactly  are  ya  gonna  train  yourself  to  handle  your  great  ape  form?  i  mean  ...  wouldn't  we  have  to  wait  until  a  full  moon  so  you  can  try  to  control  it  while  you're  in  that  state?  cause  no  offense  man,  i'm  not  lookin'  forward  to  getting  thrown  around  by  a  20  something  foot  tall  beast."

[fourstarboy]

@vantehae asked: “Were you just staring at me?” / goten 

first meeting sentence starters.

"Yes." It was hard for Goku to not stare when the person he was looking at, looked just like him. Didn't help that he didn't smell like either Puar or Oolong, meaning that this had to be someone else that he never met before. Grabbing his power pole, he tapped the boy on his head to see if something would happen.

"Are you a weird ghost or something? Why do you look like me?"

[vantehae]

something  was  seriously  wrong  —  because  well  [  ...  ]  it  wasn't  everyday  that  you  stared  at  someone  who  was  your  exact  same  height,  had  the  same  haircut  and  face  AND  also  had  the  same  tail  as  you!  not  to  mention  the  same  gi  —  except  the  kanji  on  the  back  was  different  from  his  own.  turtle  instead  of  just  the  blank,  empty  space  that  his  had.  not  to  mention  the  lack  of  sleeves.  it  was  all  so  [  ...  ]  weird.

"wha  —  hey!"  comes  the  quick  complaint  once  his  head  was  tapped,  tiny  hands  immediately  waving  away  the  elongated  magical  pole  as  he  shields  his  dome  with  a  pout,  tail  wishing  wildly  behind  him.  "i'm  not  a  ghost,  i'm  alive!  and  the  reason  for  that..."  goten's  voice  trails  off  and  he's  at  a  loss  for  words.  "i  uh...  i  dunno.  i  don't  think  i'm  supposed  to  be  here."  he  admits  softly.

[eumakgwan]

Her eyes narrow listening to him. She's heard it before — even from her own voice, but it's not exactly the same and who has time to eat when during that time she could lose the melody of their next song? "You're going to have to work a little harder to convince me," she toys, still not taking her visible attention away from the monitor.

[vantehae]

he  rolls  his  eyes  at  her  words,  looking  slightly  miffed   as  he  leans  his  weight  against  the  desk  that  the  keyboard  and  monitor  rests  on,  fingers  running  through  his  hair.  "i  shouldn't  have  to  convince  you.  this  is  just  me  offering  advice  from  one  producer  to  another.  you'll  find  the  results  you're  looking  for  if  you  actually  take  better  care  of  your  body  and  mind.  you  aren't  doing  anyone  any  favors  by  doing  this  to  yourself."

[foundwild]

eric watches with sharp eyes as taeyang listens, slides over to take the offered seat next to him on the couch. ( he eyes how close they sit -- knees nearly knocking when eric shifts to drop his eyes to the other man's phone. exactly where he wants him. ) for now, he ignores his earlier comment -- a time and place, he thinks. focusing on food seems better. safer. an arm moves to stretch out along the back of the couch, slender fingers tickling taeyang's shoulder when he adjusts. leaning in, he peers down at the phone, too, eagerly pressing into tae's space by feigning poor eyesight. ❛ i forgot my glasses, ❜ he lies smoothly, lips pursed as he begins to scroll through options with mild interest.

eventually, he chooses on a local chicken shop -- it'll be good regardless, a quick and easy snack to share. he doesn't ask taeyang what he wants -- in fact, he already knows. ( this is one of their regular lunch spots, when the work can't stop but food has to come. it's almost domestic, and eric makes sure to use his card when he presses the order button. ) once the selection is done, he takes taeyang's phone from his hand, sets it on the coffee table with a gentle ease.

❛ should be here within -- hmm, thirty minutes? they're usually quick, as we both know. ❜ with a wink, he nudges his side, turning to face him a little more head on. in the quiet of the room, eric lets out a low sigh, takes his time in admiring taeyang's features up close. ❛ i like it, ❜ he says, breaks the silence. ❛ when you push your luck. i like it. you get this... look in your eyes. ❜ his own narrow, lips turned into a subtle smirk. ❛ like you don't know what you're doing. and we both know you know what you're doing. isn't that right, ❜ he pauses, eyes dropping to tae's lips with obvious interest, ❛ sweetheart? ❜

[vantehae]

taeyang's  breath  catches  in  his  throat.  he  can  smell  eric's  cologne  from  here  [  ...  ]  but  he  feigns  nonchalance.  smiling  even  while  he  lets  eric  take  control  so  easily,  nodding  sympathetically.  "ill  make  sure  i  bring  a  second  pair  with  your  prescription  with  me  next  time."

he  watches  the  man  with  rapt  attention  while  he  orders  their  food  —  feeling  slightly  flattered  that  he  remembered  his  favorite  order  and  he  nods,  excited  to  be  able  to  eat  something  and  fill  his  stomach  which  only  held  some  iced  coffee  and  a  protein  bar  in  it.  "in  that  case  ill  check  your  calendar  and  make  sure  i  push  back  any—"  taeyang's  cut  off  guard  when  his  phone  is  taken  from  his  hand,  surprised  as  he  turns  his  attention  to  face  eric  properly,  chewing  on  his  bottom  lip.

his  eyes  are  intense  [  ...  ]  as  is  the  way  he  sits  beside  taeyang  and  the  way  he  calls  him  out  —  he  was  always  the  blunt  type.  "i  don't  know  what  you  mean,  sir."  he  admits  softly,  eyes  dropping  from  his  features  down  to  his  lap  —  shameless  in  how  his  gaze  lingers.  a  smile  forms  on  his  lips  as  he  shifts  closer,  hand  outstretching  to  rest  on  eric's  leg,  carefully  caressing  over  it.

"I  just  try  to  take  care  of  you.  to  give  you  what  we  both  want  ...  and  isn't  that  great  motivation  to  do  your  best?"  he  asks  with  a  soft  giggle,  reaching  up  to  tap  his  nose.  "i  certainly  think  so.  im  doing  something  right."

[foundwild]

maybe she's a little too confident from where she's sitting. maybe she has a possessive air about her that she hasn't entirely earned. ( and it's something that gives her pause, if only for a moment. because she's not like this. not usually. not with him. they fool around, have fun, enjoy each other's company. but, it's nothing more than just that. fun. friends having fun. ) still, the smirk that pulls at her lips remains, eyes easily slipping closed when minjae brings them face to face for another kiss. once she instantly melts into.

a hand slides up, teases at the hair at the nape of his neck. letting her nails scrape against his skin, the laugh that falls from her mouth is airy. ❛ i don't think i said that, ❜ she starts, tone a little insistent. nipping at his lower lip, mickey pulls back to bring them face to face, foreheads pressed together. ❛ what i'm saying is that you don't have to work so hard to have a fling, or a one night stand, when i'm right here. ❜ ( the pang in her stomach caused by thinking about him with another woman is swiftly ignored in favor of tugging his head back to expose more of his neck to her. ) teeth tease at his throat, just below his adam's apple, as mickey hums contently. her thumb still rests on the button of his jeans, nail tapping to a rhythm only she can hear. ❛ you can see whoever you want, ❜ the words are quieter now, breathed against his skin, ❛ but we both know where you'll be at the end of the night. ❜

[vantehae]

gentle   groans   vibrates   from   his   lips   the   moment   he   feels   her   nails   scratch   at   his   nape   —   it   feels   so   good.   they've   spent   enough   time   together   in   this   way   for   her   to   know   just   what   makes   him   tick   [   ...   ]   way   more   than   any   other   woman   he   could   be   with.   and,   as   if   mickey   could   read   his   mind,   she   states   that   and   puts   it   into   the   air.   maybe   not   that   exact   wording   that   minjae   thought   of,   but   it   was   close   enough   and   it   makes   a   soft   laugh   escape   his   lips.

she   pulls   back   and   their   eyes   meet,   he's   searching   for   [   ...   ]   something   in   her   sharp   eyes,   as   if   there   were   something   more   to   her   words.   "you   are   here.   you   always   are.   and   you're   so   good   to   me."   minjae   reaffirms,   the   last   bit   of   his   words   getting   caught   in   a   soft   moan   as   she   tilts   his   head   back   and   he   follows   her   movements   —   he   always   does.   whatever   mickey   wanted,   mickey   got   and   he   was   happy   to   supply.   his   hand   running   along   her   spine,   skin   feeling   hot   under   her   ministrations,   where   her   teeth   tease   his   skin   and   he   guides   his   hand   up   to   the   back   of   her   neck   to   carefully   grasp   it   to   guide   her   away   from   his   throat.

"they   bore   me,"   he   admits   softly,   starting   his   own   kisses   along   her   jaw.   "none   of   them   can   please   me   like   you   do,   baby.   they   couldn't   even   begin   to   understand   me   like   you.   i   should've   known   that."   he   pauses,   grins   a   little   as   he   leans   in,   just   enough   for   their   lips   to   brush   together   —   but   refusing   to   kiss   her   properly.   "you're   always   on   my   mind   ...   it   drives   me   crazy.   you're   my   favorite   girl.   that   won't   change."

and it's the last text he sends before phone is shoved in his pocket, because as much as he'd love to keep texting his hyunnie bunny, it just took up more time when he could be in a bath with his devestatingly handsome boyfriend.

yeah, that sounded like the better option, for sure !

and when he does get through the front door ( unlocked, just like jihyun had promised ) he's ... well, out of breath doesn't even begin to describe. dae-ho was not a runner by any means, and it shows as he closes the door behind him, only to hunch over to try and catch his breath.

though,  before  he  could  possibly  text  anything  else,  he  hears  the  sound  of  heavy,  rushed  footsteps  throughout  the  hall  that  makes  him  look  up  from  his  phone.  he  could  guess  who  it  was,  which  makes  him  smile  as  he  sets  his  phone  aside,  just  in  time  for  dae-ho  to  come  barging  in  abruptly  through  the  front  door.  he  can  hear  his  heavy  breaths  along  with  his  loud  words  and  jihyun  can't  help  the  laugh  that  escapes  him.

"of  course  it  is!  i  can't  believe  you  truly  thought  running  here  was  a  good  idea.  you're  so  silly."  he's  slightly  exasperated  as  he  calls  from  the  tub,  finally  rising  from  it,  suds  covering  most  of  his  body  as  he  steps  out,  reaching  for  the  towel  to  lazily  dry  himself  off,  wrapping  it  loosely  around  his  waist  as  he  exits  the  bathroom.  he  could've  waited  for  dae-ho  to  enter  but  [  ...  ]  he  needed  to  see  his  face  right  this  instant.  and  when  he  sees  his  love  hunched  over,  he  makes  his  way  to  his  side,  cupping  his  face,  frowning  a  little  from  how  hotly  he  was  burning.  "oh  baby...  come  on  and  breathe  slowly  and  deeply,  it'll  help  calm  your  heart.  you  look  like  a  tomato  right  now."  gently  guiding  him  to  look  up  at  jihyun,  he  presses  a  single  kiss  on  his  forehead.  "want  me  to  get  you  some  water?"

he remembers, maybe all too well, the day that they'd met ; a bumbling fool was what he'd been, all wide eyed and tripping over his words as he tried to get out something smarter than, " h-hi, i'm ho jung d ━━━ ah ! jung dae-ho ! " it's embarrassing, now that he looks back on it, but what was even more embarrassing were the weeks that followed after. when he started making every excuse under the sun to visit his brother's boyfriend, if only to grill him for information about jihyun, if only to get a chance at seeing jihyun for himself.

and there had been fleeting conversations here and there, each one leaving dae-ho cursing himself for looking like such an idiot, but he couldn't help it ! jihyun was so ... perfect. tall, handsome, charming ━━━ dae-ho's mind screamed that someone like jihyun would never go for someone like him ; he was way out of his league.

and yet, here they were, wrapped up in each other in their own little loved up bubble, and dae-ho loved every second of it ! a lifetime with jihyun would never be enough, of this much, dae-ho was sure. he wanted forever ! in this life, and the next, and the next, and every single life after that ! he hopes that jihyun wants the same, and deep down, he's pretty sure he knows the other does.

because no one has ever looked at him the way kim jihyun looks at him, and if that isn't love ? dae-ho didn't know what was.

" i didn't stutter into your life, hyunnie ! i was just ... making a memorable first impression, that's all. i had to catch your attention somehow. " a little white lie, but it's all forgotten as jihyun shifts closer, as noses brush together and dae-ho moves to let hands rest upon his boyfriend's shoulders as they kiss once more. " i love you too, kim jihyun. so much that like, you don't even understand how much. there's not even a number big enough to tell you how much i love you ━━━ "

"and  you  did  a  great  job  at  it.  you  were  so  memorable,  you  refused  to  leave  my  mind  for  months  after  that.  and  look  where  we  are  now  ...  dating.  isn't  that  crazy?"  jihyun  teases  lightly,  expression  softening  as  he  gives  a  slight  strained  chuckle  to  try  and  keep  himself  calm  [  ...  ]  even  though  that  was  far  from  how  he  felt  in  reality.  how  could  he  possibly  be  calm  when  his  boyfriend  was  saying  such  sweet  things?  it  was  almost  enough  to  make  him  feel  dizzy.

his  smile  remains  on  his  visage  as  he  reaches  up  to  gently  pet  dae-ho's  head,  fingers  running  through  the  soft  tresses  and  pushing  them  away  from  his  face,  just  so  he  can  properly  admire  him.  he  thinks  he  would  be  happy  just  watching  and  admiring  his  boyfriend  like  this  for  the  rest  of  time.  he  was  so  pretty  [  ...  ]  so  unbelievably  perfect,  it  makes  his  heart  ache  from  how  much  love  flows  through  him  for  the  idol.

"i  think  i  have  an  idea  on  how  much...  you're  so  sappy,  dumpling,  what  else  am  i  meant  to  say  to  that?"  jihyun  asks  with  a  light  giggle,  vocals  trailing  off  with  a  pleasant  sigh.  "all  i  know  is  that  you're  it  for  me."
