CHOI HYUNSUK

🐷 gosh, he's gonna be so surprised when you call him by his name

🐷 bc he's so used to you calling him by a nickname, that he momentarily may have forgotten that you could actually call him by his real name too

🐷 "hyunsuk." you'd call out as you struggled to carry the grocery bags from the front of your house

🐷 there were a lot of strangers walking through the hallways of your apartment, so it didn't seem ideal to call hyunsuk by his usual nickname — which was why you called him by his name

🐷 yk that surprised face + adorable smile + scared giggle thing he does? he's gonna have that look on his face bc he's not sure why you called him

🐷 were you pissed and using his name? or were you just trying to use his name more often?

🐷 "what did i do?" he'd ask, maintaining quite the distance between the two of you

🐷 you'd look up to see him far away, and would wonder why he behaved that way

🐷 "it's what you are not doing, oppa. help me out here." you'd laugh, shaking your head at the weird way hyunsuk was behaving

🐷 "oh."

🐷 he's gonna feel a bit more relieved now that you called him oppa, bc now he knows it might've just been a slip-up or something

🐷 phew, bc manz thought he had to move to mexico and change his name to luis

PARK JIHOON

🐼 as usual, jihoon was annoying mashiho by acting all cute and lovey-dovey with him

🐼 you were enjoying this interaction ... until mashiho came to you to save him

🐼 he hid behind you, using you as a shield as jihoon came over to you

🐼 "y/n, please save me."

🐼 "from jihoon? who do you think i am? hulk?"

🐼 regardless, you tried your best, simply standing still as jihoon tried to get through you

🐼 it was fine in the beginning, but jihoon soon changed his strategy, poking your sides until you gave in and moved away

🐼 but you couldn't do that ... because mashiho was depending on you

🐼 after sustaining a lot of pokes, you got slightly ticked off, sighing as you grumbled. "park jihoon!"

🐼 his full name falling out of your lips just flipped something in him, bc the man who was all eye-smiles and chuckles suddenly smirked with an amused look in his eyes

🐼 "yes, that is my name, babe. don't overuse it." he winked at you, and usually you would either be flustered or reply with a comeback of your own ... if it wasn't for the realisation

🐼 mashiho wasn't jihoon's prey anymore. you were ... and you were the one who dug your own grave

🐼 i promise to pray for you bc you are gonna need all the prayers you can get

KANEMOTO YOSHINORI

🐯 it was the holidays, and you had no way of taking your dog with you back home

🐯 yoshi, being the nice guy he is, offered to stay at your place while you were gone — both house-sitting and dog-sitting for you

🐯 since you trusted the man with your life, you let him stay over, going to your hometown and coming back after a week

🐯 entering the house, you were startled at the sudden burst of color you saw running towards you

🐯 "YOSHINORI!" you'd scream, too shocked at the sight in front of you to even take another step into your own house

🐯 yoshi would tightly shut his eyes in his place, taking a deep breath and sucking it in before walking out from your room, a wary smile on his face

🐯 you'd hear giggles and chuckles from around the house, and soon, you saw the maknae line of treasure just appear from places around your house

🐯 "what has angered you, angel?" yoshi would ask, pretending not to see the problem you were seeing, smiling as he hoped it would make you feel — even slightly — less pissed

🐯 "oh, nothing much, it's just — WHY TF IS MY DOG BRIGHT BLUE, YOSHI?!"

🐯 you were truly pissed, and the actual pranksters (aka the maknae line) were shaking in their places, not knowing you were going to be really mad

🐯 and yoshi noticed this ... so he took one for the team and took the blame for himself

🐯 sigh if only he could do it well

🐯 "bright blue? where, y/n?"

🐯 "kanemoto yoshinori, don't fooking test me at a time like this. with the mixture of caffeine and jetlag in me, i can rip you limb for limb."

🐯 in the name of the father, son and holy ghost. heads, shoulders, knees and toes, let's all pray for yoshinori and have some cheerios. hey macarena.

KIM JUNKYU

🐨 "kim junkyu!"

🐨 big baby froze as soon as he heard you call his name — literally another hyunsuk who thinks he might have to pack his bags and move countries

🐨 you called it another few times before looking confused bc where was kim junkyu?!

🐨 you'd go upstairs searching for him and you'd find him standing next to the doorway, peeking out

🐨 he couldn't see you from where you were standing, but you saw everything

🐨 junkyu was weird on certain days, but this kind of weird really concerned you

🐨 "babe, what are you doing?" you asked, unable to hold back your laughter as you giggled, finding his antics funny

🐨 he'd maintain a big gap between the two of you, looking at you skeptically bc he was confused at the way you behaved

🐨 "you used my full name, that means danger." he'd explain, and you shook your head, covering your mouth as you cackled like an evil villain

🐨 "gosh, don't be so serious. there was a package with your name, so i just called you kim junkyu. why do you think it's something wrong?"

🐨 immediately gets a smile on his face and skips to you, wrapping you in a hug as he placed a kiss on your forehead

🐨 "well, in that case, everything is alright."

TAKATA MASHIHO

🐹 you woke up from your nap, greeting mashiho softly as you walked into the bathroom, getting ready for a presentation you were gonna have

🐹 everything was going fine until you were washing off the shampoo in your hair

🐹 EVERYTHING WAS RED

🐹 you couldn't scream bc of the initial shock of wtf was happening — but you were smart enough to know it definitely wasn't blood

🐹 you looked at your hands and saw them completely dyed red, and you immediately pulled away the shower curtains to look at the mirror, seeing your hair was now as red as your hands

🐹 curse your habit of lathering shampoo in your hair as you sang any two kpop songs bc the dye was stuck since you kept it on for a while

🐹 you did what you could, scrubbing your hair and hands, but only the color in your hands seemed to lighten, not your hair

🐹 curse you for dying your hair blonde bc you wanted to try something new now the red dye was stuck well

🐹 and curse your shampoo for naturally being red so you didn't suspect a thing

🐹 only one name came into your head at this evil plan so you called your boyfriend, trying to confirm your suspicion

🐹 "shiho, did jihoon come over?"

🐹 "yes, and i am still here!" jihoon called out, looking at mashiho in confusion as the younger doubled over in laughter bc the elder had zero idea of what happened

🐹 you'd change quickly and rushed out of the bathroom, readying yourself to strangle the shit out of jihoon

🐹 "jihoon, i have a presentation in four hours! how am i going to turn on my camera looking like this?!"

🐹 you'd turn towards mashiho who was struggling to contain his laugh when you were close to tears bc you really wanted to appear professional

🐹 "TAKATA MASHIHO! STOP LAUGHING! MY HAIR IS RED!"

🐹 he'd fear his life, but he couldn't help but laugh bc you had everything wrong

🐹 jihoon wasn't the one who switched your shampoo, it was mashiho

🐹 "it's not red, y/n. it's a flaming apple cherry blossom fuchsia fusion."

🐹 wtf was that even supposed to mean? i miss the days where hair dyes were simply named by color

🐹 "okay, that's it. i'm coming for your neck, mashiho."

YOON JAEHYUK

🦁 jaehyuk got a week off for the lunar new year and he was excited

🦁 no vocal training, no dancing practices — absolutely no going to the company

🦁 he was happy about spending the lunar new year with you, since both your families were a bit too far away to go visit

🦁 we all know that jaehyuk is a bit affectionate on a normal day

🦁 BUT WHEN HE'S ELATED? extra touchy and lovable

🦁 he was clinging onto you like a koala and at first, it literally warmed your heart and you were a human puddle at his touch

🦁 but six hours with the man, and he only let go of your hand when you had to go to the washroom

🦁 the two of you were watching a movie, but you could feel his eyes on you — even though you sat between his legs

🦁 to annoy you a little, he kept blowing on your neck, knowing well that you were ticklish there

🦁 "ah, yoon jaehyuk!" you'd grumble, pouting as you turned around to face him, wanting to lecture him about the way he was touchier than usual

🦁 jaehyuk would absolutely find you adorable. a wide smile coming on his face as he saw the way you looked at him

🦁 "don't be like that, you are creating a gap in our relationship." he'd joke, making you laugh bc that was a dramatic sentence — just bc you used his full name instead of a nickname

🦁 he'd let go of you now tho, bc he knows no one likes it when a person is too clingy

🦁 you'd feel a tad bit bad and would make up for it by initiating a cuddle session later, tho

🦁 "tbh, i kinda like it when you call me by my full name."

HAMADA ASAHI

🤖 asahi and you were childhood besties, and somehow you guys evolved into the lovers stage

🤖 what the actual fuck did i just say? evolve ?? jisoos i need some sleep

🤖 ever since the two of you were small, you called asahi 'hi-kun' bc your little self always stumbled over your words trying to say 'asahi-kun' and the name just stuck and you almost forgot what his actual name — just used to calling him 'hi-kun' all the time

🤖 you two were having a reading date, but you got bored and scrolled on the internet instead which brought you to a post about the treasure members, and you saw the name 'hamada asahi' which literally flipped a switch in you

🤖 it was like a sudden meteorite of realization crashing into you and reminding you what his actual name was, contrary to the 'hi-kun' you always call him

🤖 you just sat there, smiling like an idiot bc you really thought that asahi was a pretty name

🤖 as pretty as asahi himself

🤖 "asahi. hamada asahi. asahi hamada." you'd call out softly, watching as your boyfriend turn to you, scrunching his face in confusion as he wondered why you were calling him

🤖 "yes, my love?" JUST END ME ALREADY JISOOS

🤖 "nothing, i wanted to say your name. it's really beautiful." you'd honestly say, and a warm smile came on asahi's face, just thinking to himself how lucky he was to have you in his life

🤖 "not as beautiful as you though, my love." OKAY BYE IM DECEASED

BANG YEDAM

🦊 one job — you gave yedam ONE JOB, and he messed up

🦊 boy is so talented in many areas, maybe it was your fault for assuming he could do the laundry flawlessly too

🦊 "BANG YEDAM!"

🦊 mr bang was scared, but not scared shitless kinda scared

🦊 after all, i think it's an universal sign that if anyone calls you by your full name, then it means you are screwed

🦊 tbh, i still get scared when my teachers call my name for attendance — no matter how much i prepare myself — it's the anxiety brosephs

🦊 yedam would know exactly why his name was being called, bc he knew what he did wrong

🦊 and he's a man who owns up to his mistakes love ya for that yedami you do you kiddo

🦊 seeing you fuming head to toe, ngl manz is a little scared, "i feel your anger on so many levels, y/n, but let's handle this differently."

🦊 one glare from you and he'd shut himself up, taking a seat on the sofa as he awaited his punishment bc he knew — then and there — he was done for

🦊 "all my white shirts are pink, yedam! how are you gonna handle this differently?"

🦊 "i'll ... buy you new ones ???"

🦊 ok you were still pissed, but he had a fair point, so you stopped at that

🦊 now just shut up and go shopping with bang yedam

KIM DOYOUNG

🐰 "kim doyoung! come here quickly!"

🐰 surprised bunny boy bc you rarely call him by his full name

🐰 he'd go over a list in his head, checking if he had done anything wrong to get in trouble

🐰 bc if that was the case, then he was straight up jumping from his window and running away to some place safe from the wrath you'd unleash on him

🐰 y/n already forgave me for the mayonnaise incident. and the treadmill incident, too. did y/n walk in to another prank of mine? was it the garlic one? nah, jeongwoo fell for that. oh shoot, is it the water tap? no, jihoon hyung fell for that — shit, the ketchup

🐰 doyoung would spend almost ten minutes sitting on his bed, wondering wtf he did wrong so he could prepare himself an excuse

🐰 you'd wonder why he wasn't coming and would go to his room, checking if your boyfriend was doing alright

🐰 "babe, what are you–" doyoung would jump from his bed at your presence, startling you as well

🐰 "whatever it was, blame — wait, what did you just call me?" he'd furrow his brows, confused bc he thought you were mad, but then you called him 'babe' wtf was happening

🐰 were you still pissed? is babe said lovingly? or angrily? boy had so many questions running in his brain bc you were so hard to decipher at times

🐰 "babe?" you'd raise your brows, looking at him weirdly. "what were you gonna say?"

🐰 "what it was, blame hyunsuk hyung." doyoung would blurt randomly, still quite skeptical of whether he was in trouble

🐰 "i brought ice-cream for you boys and was calling you to come eat, idiot."

🐰 a smile would come on his face bc he was relieved, and he'd practically skip to the table to get his ice-cream

🐰 everything was going fine until you wanted some strawberry syrup on your ice-cream

🐰 strawberry syrup that really wasn't strawberry syrup but actually ketchup

🐰 "KIM DOYOUNG!" doyoung would look as his name was called, eyes widening as he saw the bottle of strawberry syrup in your hands

🐰 yep, you were definitely pissed this time ... and he was screwed

WATANABE HARUTO

🦙 "haru, i think i'll head back to the dorms, i'm hungry." you commented as you stood from the sofa, stretching your limbs in the process

🦙 haruto was working on a new song and you had been with him in the studio for the past three hours

🦙 "hm, stay safe. i'll come in a bit." he'd say, pulling his gaze away from the computer screen to look at you with a soft smile

🦙 unable to control yourself, you placed a quick kiss on his lips, giggling when he pulled your arm, going in for a deeper kiss before you went

🦙 arriving at the dorms, you got started on making lunch for the two of you, prepping a good meal to the best of your abilities

🦙 by the time you finished cooking, an hour and a half had already passed, but haruto still hadn't come back

🦙 you sent him a text, asking his whereabouts before calling him fifteen minutes later when he didn't reply

🦙 calls after calls were made, but haruto didn't pick them up, and you wondered if the male had silenced his phone to avoid getting disturbed

🦙 another fifty calls later, you angrily sighed, wearing your shoes as you went back to the company, your phone in your ear as you called your boyfriend again

🦙 finally, he picks up. "oh, babe, i'm sorry, i got–"

🦙 "watanabe haruto. if you don't come home within the next fifteen minutes, so help me–"

🦙 "no, no, stop there. i'm coming home now."

🦙 you heard him frantically grab his things, rushing out the door at the way you sounded

🦙 he wasn't terrified at you suddenly using his full name — just worried that he might've pissed you off

🦙 you sounded quite serious, and he felt bad for making you feel that way, so on the way back home, he'd come up with many plans to make you feel better

🦙 count on haruto to hug you as soon as you open the door for him, placing kisses all over your face to distract you

🦙 and ofc, you were distracted ... after all; it was watanabe haruto

PARK JEONGWOO

🐺 you had made a wonderful discovery

🐺 you just found out that jeongwoo hated being called by his full name ... and you had seen the way he reacted whenever anyone did

🐺 jeongwoo was a mischievous little kid, and that resulted in his parents calling him by his full name whenever he was in trouble, so that kinda stuck as he grew

🐺 so calling jeongwoo's full name = surprised, flustered and scared jeongwoo bc he thinks he's in trouble

🐺 now with this discovery, it was quite clear what you should do

🐺 if you guessed 'calling him by his full name 24/7', then you are right

🐺 ofc, you weren't just going to blurt it continuously ... oh, no, you were a quite calculated person

🐺 taking into consideration the atmosphere and how zoned out jeongwoo was, you startled him by shouting his name, catching him off-guard

🐺 but he soon caught onto what you were trying to do — bc he's a genius, duh

🐺 "PARK JEONGWOO!"

🐺 "STOP USING MY FULL NAME, IT FEELS WEIRD!"

🐺 you'd simply raise your brows, chanting his name over and over, just to annoy him

🐺 no one would really try to stop you bc everyone has been annoyed by jeongwoo, so it was fun to see him being the one getting annoyed

🐺 "i will use your full name all i want, no one can stop me."

SO JUNGHWAN

🐮 tbh, you never really called junghwan by his name — simply bc you didn't know that his full name was so junghwan

🐮 you thought his full name was jung hwan, and sure that was a mistake on your part, but it was a mistake junghwan didn't want to correct

🐮 you always called him 'hwan' and 'hwanie' so even the 'jung' part was never included

🐮 that was until one day you saw some post about treasure and saw 'so junghwan' instead of 'jung hwan'

🐮 you questioned your boyfriend about it and he shyly explained it to you, assuring you it was nothing wrong when you went red in embarrassment

🐮 "argh, i can't believe i didn't know your name was so junghwan!" you'd grumble, but junghwan would find you absolutely cute, smiling like an idiot as he looked at you

🐮 "i like the way you say my name, y/n. i should've corrected you long time back." he'd simply hold your hands and smile. "could you say my name again?"

🐮 "s-so j-junghwan." you'd stammer, covering your face as you felt embarrassed, unable to believe your utter stupidity

🐮 it was just a moment of childish happiness for him; hearing you call him by his full name

🐮 super king cow baby felt pure happiness and joy, giggling as you repeated his name over and over, changing your voices and tones to make him laugh

🐮 "ah, junghwanie is the best! so junghwan, fighting!"

🐮 "ah, i love you, y/n."

BEOMGYU ✙ EP.24 OF ++LINE

The Girl With The Pretty Smile (S.CB)

Word Count : 2739

Warnings : swearing, bullying

Synopsis : No one seemed to look Changbin's way. Except for a girl with a pretty smile that made his days so much better.

Author's Note : Just a short oneshot to try and get back into writing. Hope you enjoy!

She looked at him expectantly with the same bright smile she always gave him. It was a smile that he had burned in his memory, a smile he thinks about on his darkest days to bring light back.

            He had an entire speech thought out, a speech he worked on for days. Crumpled up papers are still littered in his room with failed attempts to write what was in his heart. Words about how her smile brightens his days, how he’s grateful for her kindness, how over time he fell in love with her.

            But as soon as she turned around to face him, all the words escaped him. All he could do was gawk at her, his eyes a little wider than usual, and his mouth completely devoid of any saliva. She didn’t seem to mind, allowing Changbin to gather his thoughts, her smile not faltering for even a second.

            “I-“ He started, but no other words came to him. She had him literally speechless. He could see her friends waiting for her just ahead of them and suddenly felt bad for taking up her time. “Sorry.” He quickly mumbled before speed walking away.

            “What was that about?” Karina asked her. Y/n was looking in the direction that Changbin had sped off in, a fond look in her eyes as she giggled about the odd interaction. “Oh my god, don’t tell me you LIKE Seo Changbin?”

            “And if I do?” Y/n questioned, cocking her head to the side as she looked at Karina. Which, of course, prompted both Giselle and Karina to go off on their usual spiel on how weird he was, how he doesn’t talk to anyone.

            “Come on, Y/n. If you dated Seo Changbin, your reputation would completely tank. No one would talk to you anymore.” Karina ended, wrapping her arm around Y/n’s shoulders. “Let’s just forget about him and make the guys buy us food, hmm?”

            Before Y/n could say anything else, Giselle jumped in and started talking about what happened in her class, so she just stayed quiet. Swallowed the words she wanted to say, but her smile had faded. What was so wrong about liking someone that treated her with nothing but kindness?

            “Good morning.” She greeted with a smile, as she did every morning. Others in her class repeatedly told her not to bother with Seo Changbin. He’s a loner. He’s someone that only keeps to himself, not even bothering to spare others a single glance.

            But she had caught him one time looking over at her. When she was struggling to keep up with what their professor was saying. There was a softness in his eyes as he silently angled his notes towards her so she could see them. He acted as if he didn’t do anything, but she still softly thanked him.

            “Morning.” He softly mumbled back to her as he had started doing a couple days ago. A smile was tugging at his lips every single time she smiled at him. There was a warmness in his chest when he thought of her, especially the way she would smile at him, even if he didn’t return it.

            “I wanted to thank you for all your help in this class.” She whispered as to not bring attention to her and Changbin. He turned his head to look at her as she placed a coffee on his desk, a smiley face messily drawn on the side of the cup next to his name. “I don’t really know what you like, so I just got you my favourite.”

            Again she was looking at him with her pretty smile before turning her attention to her notebook. Changbin could see random squiggles drawn in the margins of the pages. Random shapes ranging from a plain triangle to hearts to smiley faces. Smiley faces similar to the one drawn next to his name on the coffee cup on the corner of his desk.

            This would be the first moment Changbin realized he had a crush on the girl with the pretty smile that sits beside him.

            “You won’t believe what Giselle and I saw when we were picking Y/n up from her class.” Karina said once everyone had their food in front of them.

            “Oh does she have a secret boyfriend?” Yeonjun teased, wiggling his eyebrows in her direction. Wooyoung and Yeosang chuckled before joining in on the teasing. “How unfortunate. Soobin was really hoping he’d have a shot.”

            “No way?! Tell him to go for it. I think she needs a wake up call.” Giselle said. “She told us she has a crush on Seo Changbin.” Wooyoung practically spit his food out at this revelation.

            “Seo Changbin?! You mean the guy that doesn’t talk to anyone?”

            “He talks to Y/n apparently.” Karina smirked, crossing her arms over her chest as she sat back, her gaze directed to Y/n and Y/n only. “I knew you were hiding something from us, you know. You seemed too happy these days. Who would have thought it was because of Seo Changbin.”

            “I never thought I’d ever hear of Seo Changbin making someone happy.” Yeosang chuckled, shaking his head at the very thought. Y/n sat there quietly picking at her food, her appetite suddenly gone at all the digs her friends were making at Changbin.

            “I’ll set up a date with Soobin. I think you two would get along really well.” Yeonjun said, placing his hand on top of hers. A kind smile danced across his lips, the very lips that spouted insults about someone she considered a friend.

            “No thanks.” She mumbled, pulling her hand away from his. “I’m going to head out first. I don’t really feel like listening to you guys talk shit about someone I like.” Before anyone could say anything, she was gone. Disappeared the same way Changbin did before he could confess.

            “This time, I’ll allow you to choose your partners.” Y/n’s smile was just as bright as it usually was when she turned towards Changbin as their professor spoke about the new project they’d be working on. Why was she looking at him like he held all the answers to the universe? And why was his heart pounding so hard?

            “Y/n.” She turned away from him at the sound of her name. He took a quick glance to see who was standing beside her desk. Han Jisung stood there, one hand on the back of her seat and the other twirling his pen. His infamous smirk was plastered on his face, the same one that had far too many girls falling at his feet hoping he would notice them.

            But he only had eyes for Y/n, As did many others in the school, but no one was as brazen as Jisung was. Flirting with her every chance he got, but she never seemed to reciprocate. Unbeknownst to everyone, her heart already belonged to Seo Changbin.

            “Should we partner up and show everyone we’re the superior couple?” Jisung asked with a wink. The other students watched on as if a drama was playing out right in front of them. The moment when the main couple finally admits their feelings and allows themselves to fully fall in love with the other.

            But in Y/n’s story, Han Jisung was just another background character. Someone that had little significance to the ending she desired. “No thanks.” And her attention was back on Changbin, who looked at her with widened eyes, wondering if he really just watched her reject Jisung.

            And with everyone still watching her, she began talking about her ideas for the project with Changbin, while he continued to sit there and stare at her. She intrigued him, amazed him even. Something about the way she looks at him makes him feel like he’s home.

            Changbin paced his dorm room, mumbling the same words over and over again. I like you. I really like you. His roommate watched on in confusion having never seen the quiet and reserved Seo Changbin like this. “Dude, if you like her that much, just fucking tell her.” He spoke up before retreating to his room.

            He was right. And Changbin wanted to tell her. Not in hopes that she would feel the same way and would want to date him. But he wanted to let her know that someone out there really enjoys her presence and thinks that her smile could cure cancer. He wanted her to know that there was someone that truly loved her.

            Once again he found himself hunched over his desk, scribbling words on paper, hoping they’d make sense to the girl they were meant for. Crumpled balls of paper overflowed his trashcan, just as it had a couple nights prior when he wrote out his speech. The speech he had forgotten once she looked at him.

            Which is why he opted to write her a letter this time. A letter filled with all the words he wish he could say to her but knows all the words would die on the tip of his tongue the second she smiled at him. He tried his best to make his writing look pretty. Tried to make the words flow from line to line, much like a love song.

            He poured his heart onto the paper, hoping that his words would make her smile. The same smile she greeted him with every single day. The same smile she gives him every time their eyes meet. The same smile that makes all the bad in his life disappear.

            And even if she doesn’t feel the same, he hopes she’ll reread the letter and smile, knowing there was someone that loved her so pure and true they took the time to write it all out on paper. He hopes the words will bring her happiness even on her worst days.

            The smile she greeted him with this morning didn’t reach her eyes like all the previous smiles had. He could tell that something had happened, something that took her smile away. And they weren’t friends, just seatmates in their one shared class, but he was concerned. “Everything okay?” He whispered when she sat down.

            She froze in the middle of taking her books out of her bag, turning her head to look in his direction. He could see a small smile dancing across her lips. Not as bright as it usually was, but it was still a pretty sight. “Yeah. Everything’s great. Just stress from my other classes.”

            He wondered what other classes she took. Which was her favourite? Which made her the most stressed? But he didn’t ask. Instead he gave her a small nod, telling her that if she needs help studying, he wouldn’t mind studying with her sometime.

            “I’d need your number for that, Changbin.” Her smile was wider now, and Changbin deluded himself to think it was because of him. Because of what he said. And the very thought that she was smiling because of him instead of at him made butterflies burst in his stomach.

            “Right. Uh-here.” He quickly scribbled his number on the corner of a page in his notebook, carelessly ripping it off, and handed it to her. “Text me anytime, Y/n.” He returned her smile, and she thought to herself that she had never seen something as beautiful as Seo Changbin’s smile.

            Changbin’s leg bounced in anticipation, his eyes fixed on the door as he waited for Y/n. The letter he planned to give her tucked away in his notebook, a corner poking out, taunting him. Today, everything was going to change, and that thought alone was almost enough to make Changbin change his mind. Almost.

            But when Y/n walked in and time seemed to slow down, he knew he needed to confess before his feelings suffocated him. She greeted him with the same pretty smile that made him fall for her in the first place, and he met her eyes and returned the smile. “Good morning, Changbin. You seem anxious, everything okay?” She plopped in the seat next to him, slowly taking out her books as Changbin tried to figure out what to say.

            “This is for you.” He said softly, sliding the letter across his desk to hers. She looked down to the envelope with her name scrawled across it, a smiley face drawn beside it. The same envelope that held Changbin’s feelings. And then she looked over at him as she grabbed it.

            “Should I read it now or later?” Her head was slightly cocked to the side, almost as if she was teasing him, but he could see the sincerity in her eyes. She was never one to tease Changbin. Right from the first day she showed him nothing but kindness.

            “You can read it now if you want.” She could hear the nervousness in his voice, see the way he averted his eyes, but took short glances towards her. In her heart she knew exactly what the letter entailed. She knew she was about to read his confession. And her heart burst in excitement.

            “Good. Because I’m impatient.” She giggled, carefully tearing the envelope open and reading the words Changbin stayed up all night writing. His notebook that he kept at home was considerably thinner than when he bought it, most of the pages in crumpled balls littered on his floor. Pages upon pages of failed confessions, and just one that seemed to say exactly what was in his heart.

            It detailed all the reasons why he loved her. How she brightened his days. How happy she’s made him the past few months. And that he doesn’t care if his feelings were unrequited because he doesn’t love her in hopes she’d love him back.

            She read it carefully. And then reread it. She read it a few times until she had it almost completely memorized. Her friends words echoed in her mind, how her reputation would tank. No one would talk to her. And she realized that she didn’t really care.

            She didn’t care if her friends wouldn’t want to be friends with her anymore. She didn’t care if other people looked at her weirdly. She didn’t care if she wasn’t invited to parties or study groups.

            Because none of those things make her as happy as Changbin did. All the fake smiles and laughs faded the second her eyes met Changbin’s. Because his very presence brought a smile to her face.

            And so she turned to him, the letter still in her hands, and he looked at her with worry in his eyes, but she was smiling. She wouldn’t be smiling if she was going to reject him, right? She wasn’t that cruel. “I want to hear you say it.”

            Those were not the words he expected, nor were they the ones he hoped for. But Y/n was always unexpected. He should have known she wouldn’t have a normal answer to his confession. “Say what?”

            “Tell me you love me. Say it to my face.” Students that were sat nearby stopped their conversations, listening closely to Y/n and Changbin. They waited in anticipation, wondering what Changbin was going to do, if he was going to say anything.

            He opened his mouth, but once again the words died on the tip of his tongue. She made him nervous in the same way she made him happy. But she was still looking at him, waiting to hear the words fall from his lips. It was the only thing holding him back from hearing her answer, so he pushed passed the nerves and confessed in spoken words, the way he wanted to originally. “I love you.”

            A simple confession, much shorter that the confession she held in her hands, but it made her smile all the same. And the other students listening in leaned closer to hear what she was going to say. No one expecting the girl that rejected Jisung would be the same girl that would confess to Changbin. “I love you too, Seo Changbin.”

            It was short and simple. Sweet and to the point. But it was enough to make Changbin’s heart burst. His smile was the biggest she’s ever seen, and it was just as beautiful as the first smile she ever saw dance across his lips.

            Short, sweet, and to the point. But it was perfect. Because at the end of the day, the girl with the pretty smile loved him back.
