Han-na is quick to shake her head, her pale cheeks flushing. She doesn’t know how to deal with boys giving her this kind of attention, especially not older and popular guys like Shin. She trusts him enough because he’s friends with her brothers, but it’s still odd to have him come up to her like this. Despite being fairly close to her older siblings, she’s never really attempted to become a part of their friend group, mostly because she feels like they might be uncomfortable with her around. “You prefer sneaking up on people over Quidditch?” She inquires with a tilt of her head, confusion clearly written on her face.
The girl isn’t too aware of the glances she gets from men. Most students know better than to approach her, even if it’s just because they’re afraid of getting jinxed by the Lee brothers. But Han-na could genuinely use the attention she’s so often denied – she doesn’t really have friends and knows her classmates sometimes make fun of her for her stupid questions and chronic confusion during classes. But she’s not a bad student, things just take slightly longer for her to master and understand. It’s why Creature Care is her favorite subject; it allows her to just take care of magical creatures and not have to worry about the pronunciations of spells.
“Stop,” She mutters with a slight roll of her eyes. “I’m not too good for anyone. I don’t know why you guys keep saying stuff like that. You’re all complete melons.” Han-na sighs, though she can’t hide the redness of her cheeks, her hands moving up to fumble with the ends of her hair.
She’s glad she’s sitting down when the question reaches her ears, her eyes widening even before they settle on the offered candy. “You– What?” She stammers out. It doesn’t happen often that the blonde is at a loss for words, but the very last thing she had expected was for Nam Shin to ask her to be his Yule Ball date. Han-na blinks slowly, looking back and forth between Shin’s face and the jelly beans, brows furrowing slightly. “You make it sound like I want to go to the Yule Ball with one of my brothers.” There’s a hint of playful disgust in her tone, but she can only imagine the embarrassment that would bring.
Her face is positively burning, her hand having stilled where it was in the process of wrapping her hair around her finger. “You’re– Are you serious? Because if this is a joke, it’s a really rude one.” She mutters with a slight pout, her eyes suspiciously scanning the male’s body language.
“I prefer sneaking up on you rather than practicing for Quidditch.” He clearly says. He's a good chaser and he prided himself as being one of the best chasers that Gryffindor has ever had. That was, of course, something that the head of Gryffindor had said upon seeing him play Quidditch. “Clear that cute little ears of yours, jelly bean.” He laughs. Grinning at the female and softly sighing as they sat down. He lifts her hand to politely say 'hello' to those who wave their hands at him but can't approach as he is with someone at the moment.
“They say one does not see their own beauty, that's why you say differently than we do. Like a butterfly. They don't know how enchanting their colors are for they do not see their wings.” He then taps her nose, smiling ever so fondly at the younger female. She was someone that always seemed to need protection. Shin took the liberty of watching over Hanna when Insu and Kisung weren't around to watch over their little sister, because his own sister didn't need protecting or him. She was too independent and no boys would dare come close unless they wanted to be murdered.
“Stop thinking you're not good enough. You're TOO good for someone. There might come a day when someone tells you that you're not good enough and you'd believe them. I don't want that. I want you to believe in me at least if you don't want to believe your brothers.” He pauses, staring at her. “You're good enough. I want you to pride yourself in knowing you're worthy. You're more than what you think you are.” Shin tells her in all honesty. No need to lie over something like that. Hanna was a kind soul and a pretty young woman who deserves to see and learn how to accept that she's more than just who and what she thinks she is.
“At this rate, you might end up going with four of us to the Yule Ball. Do you think they won't threaten anyone you say yes to? Trust me. I've known them since we've stepped foot in Hogwarts.” The boys all belonged in the same year, the same house, quidditch team and they shared a special bond of, well, having the same wands. “How serious do I need to be for you to take me seriously?” Shin asks, raising an eyebrow then he realized. Most girls love the theatrics. They loved being the center of attention and feeling like they're the center of the man's universe. So Shin stands up, holding the bag of jelly beans at hand.
“Min Hanna!” He shouts, his voice clear and grabbing everyone's attention. Shin then kneels before Hanna. “Will you PLEASE go to The Yule Ball with me?!” He keeps his voice loud and clear so everyone would know that he asked Hanna out. If she said yes, then it would be a slap on everyone else's faces. All those who laughed at her would drop their jaws. And if she were to ever turn him down, then, she'd be the talk of the school and everyone else would take her a bit more seriously. “Is this serious enough for you?”
