mingyu  let  out  a  soft  laugh  at  her  teasing,  the  sound  warmer  now,  easier,  like  something  inside  him  had  finally  relaxed  after  being  wound  tight  for  far  too  long.  the  word  muse  lingered  in  his  head  longer  than  it  should  have,  mostly  because  she  already  had  been  one  without  realizing  it,  scattered  through  melodies  and  half written  lyrics  he  had  never  fully  explained  to  anyone.  his  last  songs  had  all  carried  traces  of  a  girl  with  gentle  eyes,  a  comforting  laugh,  a  presence  that  made  even  silence  feel  warm,  and  now  that  she  was  standing  this  close  to  him,  smiling  at  him  like  that,  it  suddenly  felt  impossible  to  pretend  those  similarities  were  accidental.  still,  he  didn’t  say  all  of  it  out  loud,  only  looked  at  her  with  quiet  fondness  before  a  teasing  smile  tugged  at  the  corner  of  his  mouth.  “ careful, ”  he  murmured  softly.  “ you  keep  saying  things  like  that  and  you’re  really  going  to  end  up  in  an  album  someday. ”  there  was  humor  in  it,  but  enough  sincerity  underneath  to  make  his  gaze  linger  on  hers  for  a  second  longer.  “ though...  i  guess  it  might  be  a  little  late  to  pretend  you  haven’t  inspired  a  few  songs  already. ”

the  closeness  between  them  felt  strangely  natural  now,  easy  in  a  way  mingyu  hadn’t  expected,  and  when  she  agreed  to  tomorrow  so  quickly  he  felt  another  wave  of  relief  and  excitement  rush  through  him.  “ tomorrow  sounds  perfect, ”  he  said,  smile  widening  just  slightly. the  way  he  talked  about  it  already  sounded  like  he  was  imagining  her  there  with  him,  sitting  across  the  table  while  hours  slipped  by  unnoticed.  his  fingers  shifted  slightly  against  the  railing  until  they  brushed  lightly  against  hers  for  a  brief  second,  his  eyes  softening  again  as  he  looked  at  her.  “ and  honestly, ”  he  admitted  in  a  quieter  voice,  “ i’m  glad  you  picked  tomorrow  because  i  don’t  think  i  would’ve  been  very  good  at  waiting  longer  than  that. ”

perhaps someone else would feel a bit of shame when asking so openly to become a muse for a musician's work, especially given the fact that they were just now speaking up about wanting to be more than just friends, but gaeun had never really known what shame was like, always so ready and open to simply be herself regardless of what others thought of her. besides, it's not like she was actually serious about it, words being said with a very clear teasing and joking tone to her voice — which is why she was instead surprised when mingyu seemed to hint at the fact that it might have already happened, something she had not at all imagined. lips parted and eyes widened slightly in response, curiosity clear in gaeun's features as she looked at him. " wait, are you serious? i have? " it wasn't unusual for people to write songs about their crushes and it shouldn't have been so much of a shock to her either, but the thought of it made butterflies flutter wildly inside her ribcage and warmth spread through her cheeks, tinging them pink — however, that didn't mean gaeun would be shy about that fact at all, even if she hadn't expected such a confession. " i had no idea! you have to tell me which ones now, i wanna pay more attention when i listen to them! "

it was endearing how quickly the mood had changed between the two of them once their interest in each other was finally out there in the open, and how easy it was for a seed of intimacy to begin to bloom between them. gaeun couldn't help her excitement over their plans for the next day — and while she was someone that had always loved to go out no matter what she was doing, there was no doubt that the company for this one had made her feel extra giddy about it. hearing mingyu share that sentiment, gaeun let out a soft giggle and smiled sweetly, fondness clear on her features as her pinky finger reached for his to keep them lightly pressed against each other after his brief touch. " i was just thinking that the sooner the better, so i'm glad you agree~ "

[tenderlove]

mingyu  watched  the  way  her  smile  softened  into  something  almost  shy,  something  quieter  than  what  she  usually  showed  the  world,  and  it  stirred  something  deep  and  unfamiliar  in  him,  a  kind  of  tenderness  that  made  him  hyper-aware  of  every  small  shift  between  them,  of  the  space  that  kept  closing  in  careful,  unspoken  increments  until  it  felt  like  breathing  the  same  air  wasn’t  accidental  anymore.  the  admission  that  she  had  been  nervous  too  settled  warmly  in  his  chest,  easing  whatever  lingering  disbelief  remained,  and  when  she  teased  him  about  writing  songs  about  her,  he  let  out  a  low,  breathy  laugh,  the  sound  slipping  out  before  he  could  filter  it,  head  tilting  just  slightly  as  he  looked  at  her  with  a  softness  that  had  nothing  restrained  about  it  now.  “ oh,  so  that’s  what  you’re  expecting  from  me  already? ”  he  murmured,  amusement  threading  through  his  voice  as  something  more  thoughtful  followed  right  behind  it,  quieter  but  no  less  certain.  “ i  can  work  with  that.  happier,  romantic…  i  think  i  can  manage  a  few  lines  about  you. ”  there  was  a  subtle  shift  in  the  way  he  said  it,  less  like  a  joke  and  more  like  a  quiet  promise,  as  if  the  idea  had  already  taken  root  somewhere  in  him.

when  her  hand  came  to  rest  against  his  arm,  when  she  stepped  closer  instead  of  away,  mingyu  didn’t  hesitate  this  time,  his  body  leaning  just  slightly  into  that  closeness  as  if  it  had  already  learned  to  seek  it  out,  and  the  small  distance  that  remained  felt  deliberate  rather  than  uncertain.  her  words  about  dinner,  about  somewhere  quiet,  about  wanting  to  actually  hear  each  other  and  laugh,  painted  something  vivid  in  his  mind,  something  simple  but  meaningful,  and  it  made  the  smile  on  his  lips  deepen  just  enough  to  show.  “ i  actually  know  a  place, ”  he  said,  tone  easing  into  something  more  natural  now  that  the  tension  had  given  way  to  something  warmer.  “ it’s  small,  nothing  too  fancy,  but  the  food’s  really  good.  japanese. ”  his  eyes  searched  hers  briefly,  gauging  her  reaction  without  pulling  away.  “ do  you  like  it? ”  a  small  pause  followed,  not  heavy  but  thoughtful,  as  he  let  the  moment  breathe  before  adding,  a  little  more  casually  but  with  clear  intention  beneath  it,  “ i’m  free  tomorrow  or  the  day  after,  both  work  for  me.  so…  whenever  you  want. ”

it was true that this was a house party and there were other people around that they were probably meant to be hanging out with as a group, but, in that moment, gaeun could only think about how she didn't want this to end and how she would be happy if they could just stay in this little bubble a little longer. although the night air was a bit too chilly for the outfit that she was wearing, she felt as if the warmth inside of her caused by his words and actions was strong enough to spread throughout her body and make her feel all fuzzy and comfortable no matter the environment. was it bad enough that she was blusing? god, she hoped not. gaeun couldn't help herself from staying close to him now that they had finally taken that step to be more than just friends, her eyes set on mingyu as she observed his reactions and thought to herself how much more handsome he was from up close. with playfulness in her tone and on the smile that brightened her features, gaeun hummed as she replied, " isn't that one of the perks of getting involved with a musician? i'll be your muse now, " her tone made it clear that this was nothing but a lighthearted joke, but the softness in gaeun's gaze as she imagined him actually writing any lines about her in his music was undeniably visible.

although gaeun had noticed her own feelings for mingyu and the way he would often pop into his mind awhile ago, she didn't really seem to grasp how bad it had gotten until this very moment, feeling her heart flutter inside her chest even more as his body leaned in even more. enjoying their newfound proximity, gaeun couldn't put away the smile that had been present on her lips ever since they started this conversation. " oh, japanese sounds really nice — i like that a lot~ ", she replied with a soft hum. " i always love getting to try new places and i'm not super picky with food, so anywhere you wanna go is good with me. i think tomorrow would be good too~ " she could hardly believe that they were actually scheduling a date like that and doing it so quickly, but gaeun was never someone to waste any time. the sooner the better, she thought — but she wasn't trying to sound that overly eager just yet.

[tenderlove]

mingyu  had  braced  himself  for  the  possibility  of  hesitation,  for  a  polite  deflection,  for  that  careful  smile  people  wore  when  they  were  trying  not  to  hurt  someone  they  cared  about,  but  what  he  received  instead  felt  like  sunlight  breaking  through  a  sky  he  hadn’t  realized  had  been  overcast  for  months,  and  the  relief  that  rushed  through  him  was  so  immediate  and  overwhelming  that  he  almost  laughed  from  the  sheer  weight  of  it  lifting  off  his  chest.  the  way  her  smile  widened  as  he  spoke,  the  way  she  nodded  softly  and  let  him  finish  without  interrupting,  the  way  her  voice  wrapped  around  her  answer  with  that  fond  playfulness  that  had  always  undone  him.

mingyu  felt  heat  rise  up  the  back  of  his  neck,  a  quiet  flush  he  couldn’t  quite  control,  and  for  a  brief  second  he  dropped  his  gaze  only  to  gather  himself  before  looking  at  her  again  with  something  steadier,  something  more  certain  now  that  she  had  met  him  halfway.  the  small  giggle  that  left  her  lips  lingered  in  his  ears,  light  and  bright,  and  when  she  admitted  she’d  really  like  that,  when  she  said  they’d  have  a  lot  of  fun,  the  last  thread  of  tension  inside  him  finally  snapped  in  the  gentlest  way. a  slow,  disbelieving  smile  spread  across  his  face,  softer  than  the  ones  he  offered  everyone  else,  the  kind  that  felt  reserved  and  real.  “ you  have  no  idea  how  relieved  i  am  right  now, ”  he  admitted  quietly,  the  honesty  slipping  out  without  resistance,  his  voice  still  low  but  no  longer  uncertain.  “ i  was  fully  prepared  to  pretend  this  was  all  hypothetical  if  you’d  laughed  and  said  no. and write sad songs about it. ”  the  confession  carried  a  faint  breath  of  humor,  though  the  sincerity  beneath  it  remained  untouched.

he  shifted  just  slightly  closer,  not  enough  to  crowd  her,  but  enough  to  make  it  clear  that  this  wasn’t  something  he  wanted  to  treat  casually  anymore.  “ i’m  really  glad  you  didn’t  give  me  an  easy  out, ”  he  continued,  eyes  lingering  on  her  with  a  warmth  he  wasn’t  bothering  to  hide  now.  “ and  for  the  record,  i’m  planning  on  making  this  a  proper  date.  not  a  last minute  coffee  run  or  ‘we  happened  to  be  in  the  same  place’  kind  of  thing. ”  there  was  a  quiet  determination  in  the  way  he  said  it,  a  promise  threaded  through  the  teasing  edge  of  his  tone.

his  smile  deepened  just  a  little  as  he  tilted  his  head,  studying  her  expression  as  if  committing  this  version  of  her that was  nervous,  excited and  saying  yes  to  him,  to  memory.  “ so, ”  went  on  gently,  the  nervous  energy  in  him  transforming  into  something  steadier  and  almost  buoyant,  “ since  you’ve  officially  agreed,  i  guess  that  means  i  get  to  ask  what  you  like.  dinner?  somewhere  loud  and  chaotic?  somewhere  quiet  where  i  can  actually  hear  you  laugh  like  that  again? ”

normally, gaeun was someone that wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted, to take risks as she did so. in this case, however, the fact that they had so many mutual friends and she had no way of confirming how mingyu felt about her had kept gaeun from simply making a move sooner. what if she had done that and things went bad? she wasn't sure how things would be between them if that were to happen and how it would affect all the people around them, so she had chosen to simply... wait. thankfully, she was also good at keeping their interactions casual enough and giving it time to see where it would all lead. sometimes, gaeun thought that they would just remain friends and she had made her peace with that — now that they were here, though, she felt her heart flutter inside her chest.

there was a certain shyness to her demeanor that wasn't often seen by others, but that seemed to flourish around mingyu whenever he acted in a way gaeun could only describe as cute, that made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. hearing his words, she couldn't only smile even more, a soft and gentle chuckle slipping past her lips. " you know, i'm more relieved than i thought i would be. i guess i didn't realize how nervous about it i was before, " she replied with a soft hum, a hint of playfulness then appearing on gaeun's gaze as she continued in a lighthearted teasing tone, " i think i should still get some songs written about me, though. just make them happier and romantic instead~ "

mingyu's approach and the fact that they were standing closer now made a subtle blush appear on her cheeks, breath held inside her throat for a brief moment before she let it out gently. the more he spoke, the more gaeun felt a warmth spreading through her, his words so effortlessly tugging at her heartstrings. unable to stop herself from taking a step closer to mingyu too, gaeun hummed as a hand reached out to touch his arm lightly. " good, i'll make sure i'll dress up nicely for it~ " she smiled, fondness clear in her features and tone. " dinner sounds good. somewhere quiet, so we can actually talk and hear each other well. i'm sure you'll have no trouble making me laugh as much as you want, so we should go somewhere you get to enjoy it better~ "

[gongjus]

            " you are hilarious, eunchan ssi. has anyone ever told you that ? " finding all of this so endearing, with the way he was speaking, one would think that he hurt someone physically or something along those lines. dami loved the trust that he gave her too, and the fact that he would see her as such, that she too wouldn't hurt a fly. " true, but i have thought about it sometimes . . especially when someone is being horrible to me. but you know, i guess that is also normal ? " stroking her chin as if in deep thought, she then lends him her ears once more as he continued to give more context to the situation he was in. when eunchan finishes off, her blush-colored lips forming a small ' o ', " oh no, " admittedly, she hadn't been in that exact situation, but perhaps somewhat similar. " so, they weren't talking about you when they were talking about their crush ? " hand resting over her mouth at the thought, but there was no judgement at all coming from her side. " what if they were just lying though if they said it wasn't you ? " because dami certainly couldn't understand why he wouldn't be their crush.

[wcvensouls]

" i may have heard that once or twice so, maybe i have my moments~ " eunchan replied in a playful and joking tone, letting out a little chuckle and keeping the conversation ligthhearted despite the fact that he was still very much embarrassed about the whole situation he was telling her about. " i agree, it's normal to think about those things when you are upset. it's what you actually do about things that matters, really, " he hummed, mind trailing off for a moment as eunchan recalled what had happened and felt his body physically cringe at himself, shuddering and wincing lightly for a brief moment in response.

" you know, we had been flirting a lot over the past few weeks — or at least i was, and i believed he was too — so i thought that's where things were naturally going and didn't even think there could have been a different answer, " eunchan let out a deep sigh, brows still slightly furrowed. " he seemed really surprised that i thought he was talking about me, so i think it's fair to say he wasn't lying about it. clearly, i misread the situation and just wanted to bury my head underground, but at least my acting skills came in clutch for me to pretend that i was just joking and make him believe in it. i think he did, at least, " a brief pause followed before eunchan seemed to be completely horrified. " oh god, i hope he did. "

            dami's features visibly relax the moment she realizes eunchan merely embellished the story, sprinkling in a little extra drama for flavor. " gosh, and here i thought you hurt someone on accident or something ? " as if he ever would, considering he could barely hurt a fly, let alone another person. " and for the record, you're far from being the worst person to ever exist . . i think i'd beat you out in that category way before you ever could. " delivered with a teasing snicker, though the actress knows there is a little bit of truth there, given the few skeletons quietly rattling in her own closet. " tell me what happened exactly, though ! i'm curious ! " reaching for her iced americano, she leans back into the chair, idly stirring the drink, " besides, it's been forever since we've hung out right ?? i mean, one week is definitely forever for me. hah ! "

[wcvensouls]

eunchan had always loved to add a little flare to his stories, but sometimes, he'd forget that not everyone was used to his way of being and that he might actually be taken seriously — that didn't happen very often, after all, but that was an entirely different can of worms that he was not looking to open. " well, if you mean hurt someone's pride and by someone you mean me, then maybe... " he trailed off, once again making things sound a little more dramatic than necessary without even realizing it. at her response, however, eunchan waved a hand dismissively as he spoke in a lighthearted and playful tone. " as if, i doubt you'd make it that far. now we're both just exaggerating here! " he let out a little chuckle before sighing as he remembered what the conversation was actually about. " but anyway... have you ever made the most painfully incorrect judgement about a situation? there's this person i was getting to know a little more and i thought we were getting along, but... " eunchan trailed off, mindlessly playing with his bracelets before continuing. " i may or may not have thought they were talking about me when they were talking about their crush. "

[tenderlove]

mingyu felt the question hit him with a warmth that moved through him far deeper than the playful tone she used to deliver it. it should have been easy to laugh it off, tease her back, to pretend he hadn't meant anything by the things he had said. but something in the way she smiled at him, tentative and bright all at once, made it impossible to hide behind anything. the air between them felt charged in a way he hadn't expected. his voice finally found its way out, softer than he inteded but honest in a way he couldn't hold back anymore. ❛ i'm not great at... saying things the right way, ❜ he admitted, keeping his eyes on her, unwilling to lose the connection she had offered him so openly. ❛ but... yeah. i was asking you out. ❜ the confession carried a quiet certainty, the kind that came from months of wanting and denying and wanting again. ❛ and i meant it in the way you think i did. not as a groupd thing, not as a " just friends, unless you want it to be " kind of thing. ❜ his throat tightened slightly, but he didn't look away, not now. ❛ so if you're saying yes... ❜ a small breath, the hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth despite how hard his heart was racing. ❛ then i'll ask properly: go out with me, gaeun. ❜

[wcvensouls]

gaeun had always been straightforward and honest with others when it mattered, but there had been something about their dynamic that prevented her from saying out loud the words that seemed to hang in the air around them for awhile now. maybe due to fear of misreading the situation, gaeun had chosen to wait it out for a bit longer  —  but now that it seemed the topic had finally come up between them, she couldn't help feeling her heart race a little in a mix of nervousness and excitement, in a way she wasn't really used to experiencing. saying things in a lighthearted manner gave mingyu a way of correcting her without making it too awkward between the two of them, but oh, was she glad he hadn't chosen to take the way out of this. the more he talked, the bigger and softer her smile seemed to get, even if gaeun remained silent and only nodded lightly to let mingyu finish speaking and show that she was listening.  " how can i say no when you ask so nicely while looking at me like that? "  she replied in a fond and playful tone, letting out a little giggle before she continued.  " jokes aside… yeah, i'd really like that. i think we'll have a lot of fun~ "

            not  quite  used  to  being  part  of  such  a  raw,  vulnerable  conversation,  being  shaped  over  time  to  hide  what  she  was  really  feeling,  dami  shifts  nervously  in  her  seat,  swallowing  hard,  "  i  mean,  haven't  we  all  done  things  we're  not  proud  of  ?  it's  okay,  you  can  tell  me.  "  offering  comfort  genuinely  wasn't  exactly  her  strong  suit,  especially  when  this  wasn't  a  scripted  scene  in  front  of  a  camera  and  she  was  not  in  the  middle  of  filming  a  drama.  taking  another  shaky  swallow,  she  finds  the  courage  to  nudge  the  other  forward,  "  you  know  you  can  tell  me,  and  i  won't  judge  you  for  it,  right  ?  "

[wcvensouls]

" it's not that a matter of pride, it was just really embarrassing. "  even if eunchan had made it sound much worse than that at first  —  it was just his dramatic nature coming to play like always, but it seemed it had been convincing enough to make dami actually worry. not that he blamed her for that, considering he had come into this conversation talking about how he was the worst person to ever exist. noticing her behavior, though, eunchan couldn't help waving a hand dismissively to lighten up the mood, a smile on his lips.  " oh god, i made that sound super serious, didn't i?  i promise it's not really that huge, i just tend to… flourish things a little. "  that was one way to put it, at least.

mingyu hadn't expected her answer to land the way it did. he had asked on impulse, or maybe not an impulse at all, but the accumulation of every quiet feeling he had been swallowing down for months now. still, hearing her say it so openly made something in his chest tighten and unfurl at the same time. mingyu kept his eyes on her, trying not to stare too hard, trying not to let anything slip through. but when she tilted her head and smiled at him like that he felt his breath catch for a moment. god, she had no idea what those words did to him. ❛ good... i'm glad, ❜ he managed, voice lower than intended. after a beat, he looked back at her, eyes more earnest than he usually let them be. ❛ i like being around you too. ❜ hands hovered awkwardly for a second before one of them finally found a place to rest on the railing beside her, closer than he would normally there. ❛ i've wanted to spend more time with you for a while now. ❜ the confession settled between them, warm, careful, but undeniably real. ❛ not just in a group. i meant... with you. just you. so if you ever want that too... even a little... you can tell me. ❜

[wcvensouls]

gaeun had always been an open book, not the type of person to hide her thoughts or feelings — especially when asked so directly. besides... well, there was a part of her that really wanted to give him this particular answer, to reassure him that there was nothing going on between her and their friend or anyone else, for that matter. gaeun almost felt a little silly for the way her heart skipped a beat with such a seemingly casual conversation, but there was a part of her that thought this felt important. keeping her gaze on mingyu, she couldn't help the way her smile softened upon seeing the expression on his face and feeling the warmth coming from the hand that rested closer to hers than ever before. gaeun used to think she was pretty good at reading people's intentions and being confident with her gut feelings, but there was something about mingyu that just made her worry a little — worry that she would maybe make things awkward, ruin their friendship or make him uncomfortable. however, at that moment, gaeun decided to take a chance. " mm, are you asking me out on a date? " she asked with a hint of playfulness in her tone, as if to keep things somewhat lighthearted. smiling and looking at him still, she continued. " because i would say yes if you were — and if it's just as friends too, of course! "

i have a few muses that i have been dying to use more and i wanna have plots with so bad and just generally wanna be here and write but i'm about to move next week and things have been so chaotic and stressful because of it

[tenderlove]

the question had slipped out before he could stop himself, one of those things that lived too long in the back of his throat and finally found a way out. for a second, he almost regretted it. almost. but then she turned to him, that easy way of hers, and said it. just friends. something unclenched in his chest. the air felt lighter, sharper somehow. even the cold didn't bite as hard. mingyu tried to play it off; a small laugh, the kind that died halfway out, as if caught between disbelief and relief, eyes looking anywhere but her, though every nerve seemed aware of her presence beside him. the faint sound of music spilling from the apartment, the distant chatter, the glow of streetlights beneath them. ❛ right, ❜ he murmured, as if confirming it to himself more than to her. a breath of laughter followed, softer this time. ❛ yeah, no, just asking. ❜ though he doesn't say why. ❛ good to know, ❜ he added, voice lower. ❛ that means we can hang out more then. ❜

[wcvensouls]

while gaeun hadn't expected him to ask that question so suddenly, she didn't mind answering it at all — but she couldn't help wondering what had made mingyu bring it up in the first place still. had he asked simply out of mere curiosity or was there a personal interest at play here? gaeun couldn't bring herself to ask that so openly despite how bold she was used to being, so she could only watch his reactions for now and try to draw her own conclusions from it. ( even if she might not believe said conclusions when something inside her told her that mingyu was interested in her as more than just a friend, but that was besides the point. ) tilting her head slightly as she observed the other, gaeun smiled brightly at mingyu's response, something inside her fluttering quietly at the turn the conversation had taken. " yeah, we can definitely do that! " she replied with a happy hum, gaze still focused on his figure as words slipped past her lips easily, without hesitation. " i'd like that — i enjoy spending time with you. "

"of course. it's a date." she regretted the words as soon as they were out, but finch did her best to keep her smile from faltering. the last thing she wanted was for taeran to think she didn't want to spend time with her. she'd just have to hope she assumed finch didn't meant a real date. even though she totally did. fuck. "when are you free? i'm not doing much this week." finch had plans, sure, but she'd cancel them in a heartbeat for taeran. though she didn't really need to, already fairly certain of what she wanted to order, she kept her eyes on the menu before her. the last thing she wanted was for taeran to notice how much she was blushing.

[wcvensouls]

had it been anyone else saying such a word, taeran probably wouldn't have thought too much about it — but since it was finch, she couldn't help taking notice of it and thinking about the possible implications, a small blush spreading across her cheeks at the thought of it. however, taeran was much too prideful to say anything about it or to ask her directly about what she meant, despite how forward and bold she liked to paint herself to be. " sure, it's a date~ " taeran replied, trying to sound as casual and unbothered as she possibly could. leaning back on her seat, she glanced between finch and the menu as she replied, unable to stop herself from looking at the other despite feeling oddly shy. " i have work as usual this week, but... what about thursday? i don't have anything planned that night. "
