lee heeseung, that's his name.

heeseung and you had always had a complicated relationship. the both of you had formed a friendship very quickly after you two were paired up for a psychology project that lasted a couple of months. during that time, without you or him knowing, that small friendship which consisted of small talk during lessons and hand waves in the hallway, slowly turned into something more. those small talks became daily pick up lines and the hands waves turned into hugs and cheek kisses.

there was never a proper label for the two of you — him and you didn't fit in the platonic friendship category neither did the both of you fit in the romantic relationship one too. never had the two of you kissed, but everyone around you assumed you were with him because of the intimacy you two shared.

however, the one thing that was certain was the fact that heeseung and you always knew that you'd be his partner to prom and today proved it right.

shifting your attention from the drink that was in your hand to him, you observe the way he nods at everything being said at him and his small laughter at the jokes being made. oh how you could listen to his laugh like music, it was symphony to your ears, the way it engulfed the atmosphere and warmed your heart, maybe you embraced that feeling a bit too much.

you walk towards the group of people that he was currently in, making sure you stood right next to him. your head automatically bends down and you bow as you greet the unfamiliar faces with a smile on your face. soon enough, you can feel one of heeseung's hand lightly resting above your hips as he nonchalantly continued on talking like nothing had just happened.

"you want to get out of here?" heeseung whispers under his breath just loud enough so you can hear his honey laced words underneath the chattering of people around the two of you. however, you just nod at his question and before you know it, heeseung is already grabbing your waist and taking you outside.

"did you want to show me something, hee?" the way he could listen to you say his name like that for eternity. ever since you had started calling him by his newly founded nickname, he has never wanted you to call him 'heeseung' ever again. without him realising, he had fallen in the pond of love, not able to swim out of it but drown in happiness instead.

"can i just not be with you, rather than in that crowded hall?" the way he ever so slightly smirks as he says those words and the way they roll of his tongue so effortlessly makes you weak in your knees. it was embarrassing, you were deeply in love with him but covered in denial and shame to admit it to your own self.

tension between your two bodies was high, you both were extremely close together — your back leaning on the wall behind you while his hands were laying above your hips, playing with the long strands of your hair. along with his breath fanning your face, his lips were centimetres from touching yours.

"you look beautiful today and the dress suits you well." he compliments you with ease while your cheeks are burning with embarrassment, not knowing what to say back to him. it was so simple yet you couldn't even hold eye contact.

"stop teasing me and get to the point."

"may i kiss you?"

you pause. your face freezes for two seconds to comprehend what he had just said. it possibly couldn't be real, right?

"now?" and he smiles a slow smile and says, "now is preferable, but i'm open to whatever your schedule allows," and you return his slow smile back and sink into his warmth while attaching your lips on his. the kiss was a sweet one. you both took your time to savour the taste of each other and fully melt into one and another.

breaking out from it, you reminisce how soft and perfect his lips were but you still can't believe that your lips and his were together. were you officially together now?

"do you want to do that again, my love?"

his honey glazed words get you out of your trance as you glance at his eyes. you're flustered at his question — too flustered to even get the words out of your tongue. luckily for you, your mouth didn't have to answer him because his lips found their way back to yours in no time.

maybe you two were together now.

"hey beauti-"

"i do not want to hear it, we are going home, now."

next thing you now, heeseung is already following you to your car like a little lost puppy. but you didn't even realise that all he wanted was a hug or kiss from you, your man was sulking.

so when the two of you reach home, the first thing he does is come from the back and engulf you in a back hug. his head is on the crook of your neck as he slightly inhales your homely smell while peppering a few kisses on your collarbone.

"heese-"

"shh, don't say anything."

now it was your turn to be cut off, he turns your waist to make you face him and so that his hands are just above you hips. your hands automatically wrap around his neck as you leave a long peck on his swollen lips, but it looks like he has other plans. because, instead of letting go he makes the peck turn into a long, loving kiss. your tongue could feel the faint taste of the beer mixed with soju and the flavour of his favourite cherry lip tint — the one you had gifted to him on his birthday.

before completing letting you go, he takes his time to leave another passionate kiss on your lips as his hands travel around your waistline leaving tiny goosebumps along your hands. the effect he had on you was so immense that you wanted to fall on your knees every time he kissed you.

"liked that?" a smirk dances on his face as he asks you teasingly.

"whatever hee, go wash up before i seriously don't give you anymore kisses." you try to avoid his strong gaze but your cheeks said otherwise. he leaves a small peck on the corner of your mouth before leaving to clean up.

oh god you were such a simp for him.

don't get me wrong, he still does that, but his actions have become more timid

getting red at all the compliments you tell him was new to him

as well as feeling shy even if you came closer to him to remove a speck of dust off his face

that was probably when he decided to confess to you

he couldn't handle being that way around you

one day he just decided to come forth with how he felt to you

obviously this was all planned before hand

but he was still nervous with a heart beating faster every second

what if you rejected him?

said you didn't want to be friends anymore?

cut him off your life?

poor baby was overthinking it too much

all he had to do was take you on a friendly date and say his true feelings

easy right? well it looks like it isn't

he tells you to come at the café at 5 and he comes an hour earlier

doesn't even realise that you know he is anxious

chatting with you in the café was probably the least scariest thing out of the whole plan

he felt like himself and was giggling the whole time

but you with your peripheral vision, could see him fiddling with his hands under the table

you chuckle at how cute he is, very quietly

heeseung doesn't even bat an eye at it

but now its time for the main scheme to come to action

he guides you to the park where he has prepared the cutest picnic ever

and because heeseung is the best, he cooked food just for you

he isn't sure whether you will like it or not

but he is happy when you eat the food with a big smile on your face

heeseung adores the way your eyes look like crescents when you smile and your laugh is like music to his ears

he wishes that this moment would last forever, for an eternity

when you finish up eating your quite oblivious to the fact that heeseung is about to confess

you are mostly worried about why his face has suddenly flushed all read and why the top of his forehead is covered in sweat

but you don't realise that when you come closer to him to check whether he has a fever or not he leaves a small peck on your cheek

he let his intrusive thoughts win

in his eyes you looked too cute and kissable, for him not to peck your chubby, little cheeks

stunned, you just look at him with a small gasp

you had to take a good two minutes to comprehend what heeseung just did

but by the time you were busy thinking heeseung already says what he wants to say

"yn, im in love with you. ever since i have, you have been the one in my thoughts, in my dreams and in my mind all the time. falling in love with you was the best thing that has ever happened to me. i love seeing your pretty smile, i enjoy walking to school with everyday, i love hanging out with you and i love being in love with you. so will you, let me be your boyfriend?"

the world had basically stopped

when had you ever been so oblivious to the fact that your best friend liked you

you were in more shock than if happiness that he had reciprocated your feelings back

because he had liked him too

maybe you both were too focused on your own feelings to even realise whether the other person felt the same way

but your face was just in the widest grin ever and you planted a small kiss on his cheek

poor heeseung was so flustered

but the two of you just erupt into giggles

the phrase idiots in love was made for you both

and you trying to hide the blush on your cheeks, hugs heeseung in the most warmest hug ever

he has always wanted to do this if the two of you ever got together

he still felt like it was a dream because everything was so surreal to him

you had finally accepted his long lasting feelings that he had hid for the longest time

if he wasn't the happiest man on earth then he didn't know who was

dating you was even better than when he confessed

everyday was like the best dat for him

he only wakes up to see your pretty face and those pretty lips of yours kiss his face

he really couldn't ask for more
