“Oh, you know~ Times change. I never expected it’d have that kind of effect on you, though. I must be doing something right~!” Chuckles escaped his lips as it was his turn to become bashful between them. “I am? I guess this bright orange dye was worth it, after all.” His lips curved upward into a warm smile. “I’ve been feeling quite good. But I’m disappointed my hair isn’t blue, because saying ‘I’m not as orange my hair’ doesn’t roll off the tongue as much as ‘I’m not as blue as my hair.’”

“Definitely worth it. Orange is a pretty daring colour, not even I'd be brave enough to give it a try, but you pull it off so well? It suits you, please keep it a while longer." Hearing his punny commentary, she cannot help but roll her eyes, albeit fondly, and laugh. "Aigoo, you just named a good reason for your stylist to say no to blue! Not everyone is going to share that sentiment. But who knows, maybe you'll pull it off one day. Now that we are talking about it, however, I'm feeling the need to dye my hair, as well---I like the classiness but a change is needed sometimes, don't you think?" Her eyes widen as if suddenly remembering something. "Ah, by the way, congratulations on your comeback! It was exceptional."

Thank you, that’s so so sweet. I’ve only returned to tumblr recently and I already know that I won’t regret my decision, I missed so many people here, including you, so the chance to be able to write with everyone again is amazing. This really made my day, so thank you again.~

☼ )  Minho has always had a soft spot for Yoona. She was someone who he found the utmost comfort with, even though they were of different age. The moment her teaser for ‘ To You ‘ had made it’s way into his stratosphere, he was all eyes, all ears; everything. It was quite the teaser, and he could feel her vibes through it, already.

Speak-of-the-angel, he thought as his phone buzzed, interrupting his umpteenth-teaser-watching. It was almost scary when his phone buzzed to see exactly who it was that was texting him so suddenly; had she read his mind? With a bit of a nervous laugh, he picked up his phone.

☼ )  She was finally back, and Minho was excited to greet his favorite 누나. They agreed to meet at the SUM Café to avoid too much press, leaving him sitting inside, masked up while holding a congratulatory bouquet of flowers; ‘ To You ‘ was a song that Minho now listened to every single day. Above her beautiful voice that would give him calmness and serenity, the words meant a lot to him. The meaning of the song meant everything to him. He loved it very much, and he wanted to express this to her face-to-face.

His face lit up behind his mask when he noticed an unmistakable figure enter the building, forcing him to stand up and walk over to her happily, arms spread wide ( with one holding the bouquet, of course ) and ready for the biggest, warmest hug he could muster up for his endearing 누나 with the angelic voice he had listened to non-stop.

Could he possibly get any more endearing? Standing there with flowers in his hand, arms opened and face undoubtedly wearing an eager expression despite it being hidden by an idol's standard mask, Yoona felt her heart swell. There were good reasons for him to be her favourite dongsaeng despite her usual dislike towards playing favourites and Minho kept on reminding her of that by showing his endless support, adoration and understanding. Thus there was no sign of hesitation as the female made her way towards him with a similar eagerness and threw her arms around his waist, enveloping him in a gentle but heartfelt hug. Her cheek came to rest on his shoulder as she let out a delighted hum and her lips spread into an even bigger smile (really, was it possible at this point?).

"Choi Minho, you should have seen yourself right there. I really felt like I was meeting my boyfriend, you know?" A soft chuckle escaped her and she gave his waist a squeeze, not quite willing to let go of him yet. "I tell you this every time but if you keep on doing this, I might melt or suffer from a heart attack. Your charms are too deadly."

Her mind drifted towards the flowers she could feel lightly brushing against her back. It was a sweet gesture, genuine just like him, and Yoona couldn't help but think that it should be the other way around. Whilst her song release had meant a great deal to her, Minho was celebrating his 10th debut anniversary with SHINee this month, accompanied by multiple MV releases and a schedule packed with activities. It was special even without the bittersweet feeling of past events that were still lingering and would, for a long time, so there were more than enough good reasons for the actress to show her best and utmost special support towards him and his group.

` * 전JK —       really, the fact that the very own snsd’s yoona sunbaenim was even speaking to him was a gigantic deal for him. he practically grew up listening to snsd and bigbang as they were so incredibly popular when he was younger – though, that isn’t to say they still aren’t. they definitely are, to him at least. bowing in her direction, he smiles genially, flustered at her words though he knows it’s all in good fun. “no, no - it’s still the same old jeon jungkook,” he laughs a bit, rubbing at the nape of his neck shyly before humming in thought, lowering his hand. “hm… a secret?” he shoots a cheeky smile at her, shrugging a bit playfully. “noona, i can’t possibly think of a single secret… you can’t say that, though, you’re really famous too!” 

      laughs a bit more, fixing his hair out of habit before glancing up at her, quick to nod and duck his head a bit. he knows the tolls that such popularity can have on the body along with the pressure to constantly come back with a better and a better album for the general public. lately, it’s been hard for them but they’re coping. they’re eating well too. jungkook really couldn’t help but be a bit at ease for this comeback. he listens to her intently, however, knowing that, even as his sunbaenim/noona, she knows a lot more than he does.

      “we’re eating enough for a whole family, noona, no need to worry! but i’ll keep that in mind - it’s true too… it was- kind of bad in the past since we worked hard to the point where we got too tired to eat but,” he pauses, looking at her to gauge her expression. “we’re eating well and on time while traveling too. what about noona though? what are you doing nowadays?”

His response leaves her with an urge to coo, but she manages to restrain herself. Where one might have expected to see a cocky idol who has allowed the considerable fame and praise to go to his head, there was still a rather shy and humble man who is very connected to his roots. It reminds Yoona of what people say about herself sometimes, and maybe that's why she takes a liking to him so easily. "Really not? Not to discredit you, of course, I know how much effort you put into your hard work and how talented you are, but there has to be some secret potion to make BTS---well, BTS. You cannot compare a bunch of ahjummas to you!"

It's more of a playful comment, of course. There is no day where she isn't thankful for SNSD's existence and where it's gotten her right now, but she knows that their time to shine had ended, leaving the spotlight for someone else to take. Right now it is undebatable that Jungkook's group was reaching new highs, something that even she watches with undeniable interest. Who knows what else those boys can achieve, chasing their dreams and improving their skills?

"That's relieving to hear. I wasn't like this all the time, either, there were days where all that made its way past my lips was a sip of water and just thinking about it makes me shudder. It's responsible of you to look after yourself no matter what work you're up to." Yoona's lips curl into a reassuring smile as she brushes a strand of her out of her face, tucking it neatly behind her ear. "Speaking of work, you could say I am sort of touring at the moment. I am meeting my fans, performing for them. It's so personal and at ease, I didn't imagine it'd feel that good."

Jimin loved spring. He loved seeing the first flowers after a cold winter, everything turning into a bright green again. To him, Winter was cold and sad, while Spring made everything alive and even humans seem to find more energy with the sun finally warming them.  However, as much as he liked wandering around and admiring nature, he would never be as excited about Spring as Yoona was. He was walking only a few steps behind her, watching her walking down the path - and just watching her was sending out positive vibes to him. 

“I’m coming! You’re just too fast… we’ve got all the time in the world and you’re running up there like there’s no tomorrow!” Jimin chuckled, speeding up so he was walking beside her. 

Yes, admittedly Im Yoona was a child. Despite being known as composed, gentle and kind to the public, there was something wild and energetic slumbering inside her, and once that side didn't have to be restrained due to her being surrounded by people she knew well and the situation being appropriate, there was no way to stop her. Jimin was right, she was positively skipping the way up the hill, and even despite her energetic aura Yoona was beginning to get breathless. So the female stopped in her tracks for a few seconds and allowed them both a short break, though she did not waste this time and took in the view they were presented with.

favourite smell : The smell of sweet things, especially freshly baked goods. Grass and wildflowers are appealing to her as well. Any subtle perfume. 

first job : There were many things Yoona tried out before she decided that being an idol was the right thing for her, the first being a waitress. Needless to say, she didn’t do that for long.

zodiac sign : Gemini.

favourite pizza : Most toppings are fine with her (unless it’s pineapple, eww), she always chooses a different one so there’s no assigned favourite.

favourite dog : All dogs, really. What good boys.

favourite foot attire : Everything comfortabler that’s far from classy. Especially sneakers!

favourite roller coaster : She didn’t get the chance to try out many, so there’s no obvious choice. The rush of roller coasters exits her either way.

favourite candy : All candy. Who in the world could pick just one?

favourite ice cream : Chocolate or strawberry. Though she sometimes likes to eat rather odd flavours, at least once.

pet peeves : Not finishing your food, being rude and disrespectful towards others.

what are you listening to right now : Red Velvet - One Of These Nights

colour of your vehicle : What’s an own car when you’re driven around?

colour of eyes : Dark brown

favorite holiday : Christmas.

night owl or day person : Night owl, usually. Though she lately came to embrace daylight.

favourite day of week : Friday. Who doesn’t love knowing that a weekend is soon coming?

tattoos : None.

like to cook : Recently, yes. She’s been wanting to improve her nonexistent skills.

beer or wine or neither : Wine. But cocktails are a lot fancier and she’s come to enjoy that.

can you drive a manual transmissions : Yes, but she barely drives these days.

favourite colour : It’s blue! Though that changes from time to time.

do you like vegetables : Yes, they are healthy and yummy to her, with a few exceptions.

do you wear glasses : Only sometimes, for fashion purposes.

favourite season : Spring.
