a sky full of stars

“do you ever get tired of some of our songs? because i feel bad, but we’ve performed mansae so many times in the past couple weeks, and it’s so catchy that i think i want to die. or wipe that song off the face of the planet.”

“i’m going to be on my deathbed still doing the choreography to mansae. it’s etched into my mind forever.”

azumi had opened her mouth to retort sarcastically at sieon but, when he asked her the question, she closed her mouth and blinked a few times. she looked down at sieon’s hands doing the motions on hers before looking up at him. it took her a few moments to say something, “are you sure…? with me?”

sieon chuckled at azumi’s expression, his eyes locked on hers when she looked up at him, “yeah, i’m sure. i mean, we’ve been doing whatever this is since new years, i think we should make it official.”

“okay but you know the code of bros? what happens if your bro becomes your hoe? then what happens?”

“you have a hoed bro?”

“sometimes is better than no-times though, right?” azumi defended, looking down at their now interlinked hands before looking back up at sieon. the mention of the word ‘dating’ had her face reddening as she blinked a few times; she’d mentally planned this moment out with tomi countless times but now it was happening she was stuttering and feeling herself getting shyer. “s-see? i can give compliments.”

“i guess that’s as good as i’m going to get from you, huh?” sieon asked in a light tone, grin on his lips. “guess i let out what i brought you up here to ask.” he spoke, tilting his head as he noticed the blush growing on her cheeks, “azumi, do you think maybe we could date? maybe you could be my girlfriend?” the taller asked softly, his own thumbs rubbing circles against azumi’s hands. 

“well ‘all due time’ seems to be too long for me and i’m impatient.” siyeon replied, shrugging nonchalantly. she shook her head, rolling her eyes, “no but even if you did, i’d make sure i’d like them because i’d set you up with one of my friends, duh.”

“you ask azumi out then if i’m taking too long.” sieon spoke easily, rolling his shoulders as they conversed. “who says i’d date who you want me to date? do you remember the girl i dated in middle school? did you like her?”

“are you and azumi a thing yet?” siyeon asked, head tilted as she rested her chin her hands, looking at sieon with a pointed gaze, “because if not i’ll hook her up with someone because i’m agreat matchmaker.”

“almost, all in due time siyeon.” sieon commented, eyebrow raised at her next comment as he hissed, moving his hand to mime flicking her forehead, “you want to lose a possible sister-in-law like azumi and risk me having to date someone you don’t like at all?”

“i show affection to you and tomi sometimes,” azumi defended, crossing her arms as she shook her head lightly. her arms drooped a little as she bit her lip. “uh, despite what siyeon says, your lanky limbs doesn’t make your dancing look unnatural?”

“the key word in that sentence is sometimes.” sieon turned back, hands coming to grasp at azumi’s, “so even if we start dating you won’t show me affection all the time? i guess us being official would just consist of us like we are now, but with a label.” he tilted his head as he looked at azumi. sieon grinned at the younger, “ah, that compliment sounds like music to my ears.”
