He just loved being with them and sharing a meal together.

Of course with his partner, that was not even a question. Although, the things he shared with you went beyond just food and drinks. Leehan likes to remind you of your "partner privileges" in which includes a lot of things Taesan refused to share with them. Mostly just clothes, some expensive studio equipment he had in his room and big name brand perfumes.

But you had access to literally almost everything. And vice versa.

Most times you wore outfits that had been accessorised with Taesan's trinkets and pieces. His belt, a bracelet he bought at a flea market, a tatpung keyring on your belt hoop and a spray of his Chanel perfume. And sometimes, he wore pieces from yours as well.

A necklace you owned, a beanie or a cap you bought as a souvenir from a trip, and sunglasses that he thinks is the coolest one that he has ever seen. And sometimes, he even borrows one of your bags (referencing to funnextdoor s1 ep2 when he and woonhak went thrifting and he had a shoulder bag that he customised).

He particularly loved seeing you all dressed up with pieces from his very own closet, especially when you wear his customised pieces. His heart just starts beating way too fast and blood rushes to his cheeks immediately.

But there's one thing that's been bothering him lately.

As mentioned previously, the boy loved to share his food. And of course, that included you.

A bite of his burger. A spoon of his pudding. A sip of his americano.

However. Everything. Every single time.

"No thanks, I'm good."

At first he thought that maybe you just didn't like sharing food or maybe since you are still learning a lot of things about each other, you just didn't like the ones he offered you.

But then, when you two are just sitting on the floor of your living room, with a movie playing in the background, and there's take-out boxes all over the floor and on the coffee table, the same bread he had offered you to take a bite of during your previous café date is now being munched on happily by you. Right in front of his salad (literally).

He stared at you with furrowed eyebrows and wrinkles on his forehead as deep as the trenches. His head tilted at a 45 degree angle. You could almost see the floating question marks and exclamation points around his head.

All this time, he thought you hated that bread. It is why he swore to never take you back to that place again, because they were known for their breads and pastries but all you had there was a cup of coffee.

Mid-bite, you turn your head towards the cat. "What?" His eyes trail over to the bread you were holding, to which your eyes follow as well.

"You want a bite?" Your arm extending the bread towards him.

He pushes your hand back to you, "I thought you hated that bread."

"What makes you think that?" This time, its you whose eyebrows meet each other.

He recalls your entire previous date at the café. Up to how he felt bad that he chose a bad place because he thought you hated it but just couldn't tell him.

"Oh, I just didn't want to leave lipstick marks on your food and straw. I figured you might hate it." You shrugged.

Shocked. That's what he was. Overreaction? Absolutely not!

All this time. Taesan thought maybe, he was not the man with impeccable taste that he thought he was. And that secretly, you were planning on breaking things off with him because of his despicable palate. But you just didn't want to leave lipstick marks on his food?

"That's it? That was the reason? I thought you absolutely hated my food preferences. Or hated sharing food."

A chuckle escapes you. "I just thought you'd hate lipstick stains on your food because it's kind of gross. Look at this bread, its all pink and red now because of my lipstick. Don't get me wrong, I love sharing as well. We can share when I'm not wearing anything on my lips?"

Unexpectedly, Taesan leans in and pecks your lips.

Your eyes widening in surprise but you had no time to react further.

His perfume intoxicates you as his arms cage around you while he leans in again. His lips meets yours the same time a gasp escapes you.

This time, his head is tilted at an angle, a peck turns into a deep kiss. Every nibble against your lips sent shivers down your spine. Slow and soft yet addicting.

The way his nose nudges yours when he tilts his head to the other side but never pulling away from you makes your stomach feel all weird and tingly.

You had no time to process what even was going on but went with it anyway. This is Han Taesan, whose lips are enveloping yours right now. His soft and moist lips that has hints from his strawberry chapstick. And oh dear, that goddamn perfume. You feel bad for thinking of another man when this beautiful man is quite literally nibbling at your bottom lip right now but you just had to thank Riwoo in your head for his perfume gift to said beautiful man.

Your chest is warm and fuzzy and your head is empty. All you know is that your heart is about to jump out of your chest and that Taesan is a damn good kisser.

As he pulls away, you both chase after your breaths and your eyes naturally trail towards his lips. His now stained lips.

Lipstick stained lips.

Your gaze returning to meet his that were already waiting for yours. "From now on, don't decline when I share my food or drinks with you. I don't care about getting your lipstick stains or marks on them."

Flushed cheeks, glossy eyes and breath on hold. That's what you were.

And with one last peck to your lips to get you out of your flustered state, Taesan sits back down and starts mixing his salad bowl.

With a smirk he adds. "I love your lipstick stains. Especially, when its on me."

LECTURE 0

When you saw Han Dongmin at campus on the first day of attending "KOZ University" your jaw almost hit the floor. That's how surprised you were, even if you didn't have proof that was him. Was that the same guy? Dongmin wasn't particularly good at school, at least back then. And KOZ? That was a prestigious school.

Noticing him at first you were completely sure that was the same guy, despite the differences— the difference in height, the now oddly attractive face, different style and hairstyle. You were still sure that was the same Han Dongmin, who sat a row behind you back in middle school. But then you were hit with reality— another guy, probably a friend of his, called him Taesan and you overheard. You thought you were wrong.

But then you had decided to ask one of your friends Yunah, if she knew anything about the mysterious "Taesan" guy. And Yunah had in fact enlightened you because, apparently, that was the same Han Dongmin you knew. He just went by the name Taesan for some reason. Whatever that reason was.

LECTURE 1

You keep seeing Dongmin at campus. For whatever reason that is, this man is somehow always wherever you are.

Sipping a drink at the cafe? He was there. Peacefully reading by the benches? He was at another bench, meters away. Simply taking a walk from one lecture to another? Dongmin was somewhere along the way.

Even now, at a damn lecture, he was here. Sitting a few rows in front of you. You were still confused— since when is he so good at his studies? In fact, he always knew the answer to every question the professor asked this lecture. And even you didn't. And you always know.

LECTURE 2

This time it's not Dongmin, who you see. It's his friend, the one who called him Taesan the first time you saw him. The overly loud one. What was his name again? Jaesung? Jaehyun? Something along the lines of that.

You enter the campus cafe when you see him, getting your daily dose of caffeine. You don't know how but this friend of his, Jae-something, knew who you are. And called you over to have coffee with him. And that's how you ended up sitting at the same table as him.

"Y/n, right?" Jae-something says. "Yeah," You simply answer "And you're Jae.." You trail off, hoping he'd just finish. And the extroverted, puppy looking guy, in fact does. "Jaehyun, yeah! Myung Jaehyun. So, you know Taesan, don't you?" He speaks, then takes a sip of his frappe, acting completely unbothered. As if this is a normal question. Which it probably is but not to you. You liked Dongmin back in middle school.

"Oh, yeah, I know Dongm- I mean Taesan. Yeah.." You stutter along your words, praying the Jaehyun guy doesn't comment on it. He doesn't, he seems too sweet for that. "Oh thank God, I got the correct person. Taesan mentioned you once, said you were at the same middle school class? Sorry, I was just curious to meet you since you've known him for so long.. I really wonder what he was like in middle school!" Jaehyun says but one thing sticks with you. He mentioned you? So that means he remembers you. It feels like your heart might burst out of your chest, for whatever reason that is.

You and Jaehyun end up talking for a while. You tell him about middle school Dongmin, he tells you about high school Taesan and honestly, you're glad you're having this conversation and learning about Dongmin after middle school. Of course you would be curious about your old crush.

LECTURE 3

Taesan is screwed. His friend— Jaehyun, talked to the girl he liked during middle school. Taesan was purposefully trying to avoid you because he didn't want to re experience these one-sided feelings. And now his friend, who he was also rooming with, arrived back at their dorm talking about the 1 hour long conversation he had with you. Can he keep ignoring you after this?

Well the answer to that question was simply answered during today's shared elective with that exact girl, aka you. When the professor assigned the two as partners for a project on old literature both Taesan and you felt like you were both in for a big change. A massive one, even. This could change the entire dynamic between the two of you.

Taesan gives you his number after the lecture ends and the two of you plan to work on the assignment tomorrow, at the campus library.

That night both Taesan and you, even without knowing, went to bed with an unusually fast heartbeat. For whatever reason that is.

LECTURE 4

You arrive at the library fifteen minutes early, because you were worried you were going to be late. You sit down at a rather secluded spot between the book shelves labelled "old literature", sipping on your coffee.

Taesan arrives after around five minutes, also sipping on a coffee. He looks around for a while before finding your spot and sitting across you. He brought his laptop, just like you. "Hi," you end up breaking the silence "It's been a while". "Indeed." The boy across from you answers in a quiet manner, a hint of hesitation caught in his voice before deciding to speak up once again— "How've you been?" You're a little surprised he initiated a conversation because to you, it just seemed like he has been avoiding you this whole time you've been at KOZ. You say you've been doing okay and end up asking him the same question, to which he replies with the exact same remark. "Uhm, so have you thought about what author we could write about?" You end up asking the question that should have been spoken the moment you saw him. "Oscar Wilde and Jane Austen were on my mind.. They lived during different times but if we're being honest, the professor never clarified a certain age period, so.." He explains and you barely hold back interrupting him because, as it turns out, one of the authors he was thinking about, you were also thinking about. "I was also thinking about Jane Austen!" You say once he finishes, in a probably too excited manner, because his eyes slightly widen, as if he hadn't expected to see that overly cheerful side of you he always saw in middle school again. "You enjoy Jane's work?" Taesan asks, suddenly a bit intrigued about how your interests have changed when you weren't in contact. "I really liked "Emma".. and you?" You speak and Taesan suddenly feels like he's back in 6th grade, sitting behind you and admiring the way you worked in class, with such focus.

The two of you end up talking about your favourite novels for a while before properly starting to work on the assignment.. but for whatever reason it is, neither Taesan nor you regretted wasting that time. Honestly, neither even thinks it was wasted time.

LECTURE 5

The next session for the assignment couldn't be held because you weren't feeling well. You don't really know how (Yes, you do. You just don't want to admit not wearing a jacket for fashion reasons wasn't a good idea.) but you got sick.

As of right now, you're laying on the couch at your dorm. Your roommate and best friend Yunah, is currently attending a two hour long lecture so you're alone in the silent place. You and Taesan ended up cancelling the session around ten minutes ago, when you texted him about your sickness. And that's why confusion washes over you as you hear the door bell ring. You walk over to the door, blanket over your head, with absolutely no thoughts whatsoever. But suddenly a lot of thoughts appear in your head once your eyes meet Dongmin's eyes. His gaze widens a tiny bit at the sudden contact.

How did he even know what your dorm room was? Oh right, you told Jaehyun that day at the cafe, while rambling. Once you were sure of that you noticed the bags he was holding— one with lots of snacks, one with medicine and one with a seemingly warm soup. He invited himself in as he placed the bags on the table.

by the end of the movie, you and jaehyun are just hugging each other, sobbing into each other’s shoulders. jaehyun’s trying his very best to comfort you whilst he’s bawling, choking out “it’s okay, it’s okay” as he fumbles to find tissues to help you dry your tears whilst simultaneously trying to wipe away his own tears with his sleeve to no avail.

lesson of the day? hachi: a dog’s tale is not for the faint hearted.

park sungho

sungho’s hyper focused on the movie at first that he doesn’t notice when your eyes start to well up. but he turns to you in surprise when he hears a sniffle, asking, “wait, are you crying?” that sounds more concerned than teasing.

if you nod, he probably panics for a second, blurting “do you need a tissue? do you need me to pause the movie? should i-"

when you shake your head, sungho just rubs your back comfortingly, and ends up holding your hand and leaning into your side to listen and comfort you as you cry over kimi no na wa–they were so close to finding each other again. even though sungho thought he was fine during the movie, he finds himself staring at the tv screen with a strange feeling in him as he pats your back.

lee sanghyuk

riwoo picked to watch the green mile with you, since hey, it’s a classic, right? than he immediately regrets his choice when you start crying from the moment john coffery asks to not be in the dark. he asks if you want to pause the movie, and when you shake your head, he scoots closer to you so your head can rest on his shoulder.

riwoo holds your hand as you cry, trying his best to not cry with you because he knows you seeing him get teary will only make you sob harder. he sits through the movie with his jaws clenched, head leaned against yours as he checks on you from time to time, asking “you okay baby?”

riwoo’s devastated from the movie though, and he hugs you really tight when credits roll.

han dongmin

when taesan hears you sniffling as you two sit on the living room sofa watching a movie, he leans over to see if you’re really crying. when he sees your glassy eyes, he laughs and teases you, saying, “imagine crying over a movie.”

but when the tears spill over and you’re not just sniffling anymore but full on sobbing with your shoulders shaking and all as you ramble that “they can’t just forget each other like that’, taesan feels so bad and regrets making fun of you immediately. he’s quiet for a second, frozen in place as he tries to think of what to do. after a few seconds, taesan just wraps his arms around you and give you a hug. he lets you cry into his hoodie and pats your back consolingly as the final part of the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind rolls around.

kim donghyun

leehan notices right away when your breathing changes, even before the tears fall. your body language is enough for him to know that you're getting emotional.

he doesn’t really say anything at first, just gently reaches over to grab your hand and give it a comforting squeeze. but when leehan sees a tear slip down your cheek, he probably feels a bit guilty that a movie he picked is making you cry. he really thought i am sam was just a sweet father-daughter movie, but yeah, well, whoops! he’s patting your back consolingly from the first courtroom scenes but he starts tearing up too when sam says “all you need is love”. he probably hugs you first because the scene makes him so upset.

kim woonhak

another member who’s crying with you. except woonhak is trying so hard to hide the fact he’s close to bawling his eyes out–he’s got to stay composed in front of you. when he sees your watery eyes, he goes “oh noooo :((((“ before pulling you into his arms immediately. when you start sobbing, woonhak can’t help but cry too. it's always the movies with the animals that do it for you two.

you both spend the rest of the movie in each other’s arms until the end. woonhak gets really defensive when you point out he cried too, and pretends he was fine the whole time. but hey, there was no reason for homeward bound: the incredible journey to be as sad as it was.

maybe he really needs to do something about this crush thing. his actions? not normal. he's experiencing all the symptoms you'd get when you're crazy in love—and the smartest move he could do to fix whatever this was? ask jaehyun for help. after all, he's in this mess because of their silly bets.

which is as to why taesan is now in jaehyun's habitat, cause he cannot bare to see you right now. he's afraid he's heart would go badum badum again 'til it explodes.

now, taesan's face is buried on the pillow, groaning. and what is jaehyun doing? laughing. mhm, he's laughing over taesan's despair because this is a side he never saw in their years of friendship ever, like EVER. he'll even take a video if he can, but you know what'll happen if he does... maybe that wasn't part of his best ideas yet.

"hey, taesan. i'll help you, dude. i've got an idea. " jaehyun grinned, nudging taesan's shoulder.

taesan just looks up at him thinking, he's up to no good again, isn't he?—either way, he's so lost that he just accepted his faith under jaehyun's hands. here goes nothing.

"the ultimate 10 steps to confessing!" (jaehyun partially plagiarized taesan's first plan), after hearing that? taesan didn't even bother to argue on why they're doing this 10-step thing again, but instead he's just hoping whatever this plan was, it better work.

and again, just like that, "the ultimate 10 steps to confessing" has been reborn. let's just hope it works.

꒰ ☆ ꒱

Jaehyun's Ultimate 10 Steps To Confessing!

STEP 1: admit you like her

– first step, stop being in denial. pretending to be all cool when she passes by doesn't add aura, taesan—the moment you're gone, he'll smile like a freak IN PUBLIC (which is an automatic -800 aura for our fake emo).

– okay, easy! he just gotta admit he likes you. except, he's outside the apartment mumbling to himself as he takes out the trash, "i like–" you got this "i like h–" — "you like?" yup, of course you were there, accidentally creeping up behind him.

– despite being caught off guard, he just plays it off, coughing. "oh, i like pancakes." (in fact, he doesn’t. STEP 1: PASSED! even if he didn't admit it—his actions did, let's cheer!)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 2: start acting normal

– according to jaehyun, taesan's normal mode is currently turned off. because recently, he had been so conscious of his actions when you're around. it's like he's overlooking things—is he staring for too long? should he look away?– or does that makes him look weird?

– you'd be in a convenience store eating out—his treat. you're rambling to him how you did so well on your quiz, you'll subconsciously high-five him. you don't know the impact that high-five had caused to him, cause the moment your hand touched against his, his hands just freezed in place, literally. once he noticed his hands were paused up in the air, he just awkwardly plays it off as scratching his head, "why is my head suddenly itchy, haha." (STEP 2: failed...?)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 3: stop overthinking EVERYTHING

– after over-reading his actions detail by detail—he's slowly latching now over yours. even searching on google, "what does it mean for someone to..." yep, he's cooked. (he needs to be stopped..)

– curious what made him head to google?— it was the way you said good morning to him, earlier. somehow, he caught the fact that your voice was two notes lower than usual. did it even make sense for him to notice that? maybe. he is studying music, after all. (STEP 3: failed, once again…)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 4: planning the actual confession!

– so, at this point, jaehyun thinks taesan had finally calmed down (which i don't think he did) and is finally ready to plan the confession: their og plan.

– though, taesan's a little bit stuck on step 3. he ended up questioning himself—what if i mess up?— like what if you laugh at him? what if he ends up messing up? what if you ignore him forever, or worst.. what if he confesses to the wrong person!? (okay, maybe the last bit is unlikely, but we can see how bad his overthinking can get.)

– jaehyun pats taesan's back, "it'll work as long as you follow my steps, okay man?" he said with determination in his voice.

– oh, jaehyun's the biggest taeyn shipper—now listing all the steps using his pencil with bite marks (we don't talk about that – jaehyun) and a dream.

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 5: figuring out your interests (secretly...!)

– easy! — "what's your favorite..." he said, for the 30th time, practicing his words as if he was reading a script, even putting efforts on his facial expression. (which he had never done—well, not until now)

– upon entering the bus, someone yells your name, and of course, it was taesan—you automatically sit on the chair he saved for you, right beside him.

– you two sat quietly—well, not until he broke the silence (little did you know, he'd been practicing in his head), "sooo, what are you into these days?" wincing at his own voice as soon as the question came out, trying his very best to awkwardly not look away—like he usually does.

– you pour your interests all over taesan—the cafe you've been currently obsessing over, your new favorite drink, your favorite band: guynextdoor, you spilled everything. and taesan? he just nods as if he understood everything your mouth blabbered.

– in reality, he didn't. though, he now has an idea! you like this new cafe, new drink alert for the nth time, and guynextdoor—which he considers that band his enemy for now for owning a place in your heart. (STEP 6: a somewhat success—back to researching he goes.)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 6: drop little hints

– how is this in any way useful? well, according to jaehyun, if you drop little hints, maybe, just maybe, you'll notice, and then you and taesan get together and live happily ever after. but, i wish it was that easy, jaehyun. i wish. still, taesan does it anyways.

– first thing he does? he tries to compliment you—keyword, tries. "hey. i um, like your handwriting," — "thanks!" it was unusual, but you appreciated whatever that was. him? he's whispering under his breath, did i do okay? was that obvious?

– taesan told jaehyun—it made him slam his own face, because how could you fail COMPLIMENTING??? he told you to try again. (he's locked in)

– at this point, he's showering you compliments everyday, when you see him outside the apartment, when you're on campus, wherever you are, he'll make sure he gets to throw you at least one compliment. he hopes you don't find it too weird, though. (STEP 6: passed...)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 7: learn from the professionals (aka kdrama)

– jaehyun wrote this idea, cackling to himself, "this is the best step yet," he's totally just not gonna make taesan watch kdrama with him—totally. according to jaehyun, you could never go wrong with kdramas!

– now, jaehyun and taesan are slouching on the couch. taesan's arms crossed, squinting at the television, "so, if i surprise her with flowers, it'll make her like me...?" he muttered in confusion, jaehyun just pretends to nod—he's too busy giggling at the kdrama in front of him.

– then, as they were watching, the male lead spouts their usual cheesy lines, "i've loved you from the moment i saw you,” which made taesan groan, covering his face with a pillow. “no way i’m saying that without cringing.” he'll totally use that scene as a reference. (STEP 7: might work)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 8: TESTING THE WATERS

– okay, for this, they had to make sure what you think of taesan before going all in. he needs proof that you're comfortable with him or something, so that he won't fall flat on his face scarring the rest of his life with this confession. so, what's their plan? simple. they decided to test the waters with totally not so obvious questions. they'll try their best to fish out your reactions at the mention of someone secretly admiring you—or if your face lights up when taesan is brought up.

– you'll be walking around campus with taesan, and... jaehyun who coincidentally bumped into you two. he casually started the conversation with "so, what do you guys think if, um, someone you know secretly likes you? or uh if they confesses?"—that made taesan's eyes size up because that was NOT in their plan (sadly, he wasn't informed), you gave jaehyun's thinking a thought, "hmm, i guess it depends? if they're sweet and romantic, i'd fall for that."

– jaehyun nods, trying not to hold his grin as he stares at taesan who's quietly biting his lips to stop himself from giggling, mentally taking a note: sweet and romantic, got it. (STEP 8: HAPPY TAESAN AND A SUCCESS)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 9: going all out >:)

– it's time to prepare taesan's confession. taesan's in jaehyun's little jungle, avoiding you for now to not spoil or slip anything about the confession. in reality, he knows he'll fold if he sees you next door.

– jaehyun's step are pacing back and forth, thinking of the greatest way to confess to you, "what about... you accidentally fall in her arms and confess?" "what? no." "hm, what about you write her name using those drones stuff?" "no? i'm broke." "broke and unromantic? tsk." — taesan just glared at him before stuffing his face on a pillow as jaehyun continues his little brainstorming, not until taesan randomly gets up after getting an idea.

– "wait, she said she wanted something sweet and romantic, right?" taesan suddenly mutters, his eyes lighting up. "and… i kinda know what she’s into, so… maybe we can combine those?" jaehyun just blinks, "i liked my suggestions better, but i guess yours could work. (STEP 9: CHECK!)

꒰ ☆ ꒱

STEP 10: CONFESSION TIME

– they're basically prepared now, flowers? check! chocolates? check! plushies? check! all they've gotta do now is to execute it well—hopefully.

– taesan and you are walking, heading back to the apartment after an exhausting class today. the sky fading from orange to a beautiful purple, casting a soft glow on the environment—it's as if everything came out from a kdrama which is perfect. everything seems to be going to plan.

– the plan was simple: he'll ask to hang out in your place for a bit, then casually pick up your guitar to play a song you've been practicing lately—not knowing he was also getting guitar lesson from the guitar master sungho, then after that, jaehyun will pop up with the gifts. simple and easy, right?

– as you two arrived, he instantly heads for your guitar, "mind if i play something?" you just checked up on him from over the kitchen, "sure, go on." okay, just relax, he can do it. jaehyun's voice enters in his head, "don't mess it up."

– so far it had been going so well, you two were vibing, sitting next to each other, locking eye to eye with the sweetest smiles—it made a somewhat romantic atmosphere. all are going according to the plan, until "TING" his finger caught the wrong string which caught him off guard, making him continuously go off tune—okay, he messed up a little, flustered taesan just slowly puts down the guitar, glaring at his hands for betraying him 'til the guitar slid, clattering on the floor. this is awkward.

– what made it worst? the creaking sound of the front door opening, "CONGRATS TO TAESAN, MY MAN!" it was jaehyun putting on the biggest smile, holding the gifts taesan prepared, even wearing sunglasses indoors... wrong timing, jaehyun, wrong timing...

– the room was insanely silent—you could only hear the flowers and chocolates rustling. you blinked at jaehyun, taesan blinks at jaehyun, and well, jaehyun just blinked, "i saw you through the window proposing..." taesan just slammed his face, "i was apologizing for knocking her guitar down."

– taesan stood up, facing your way, "yn, i like you. i'm sorry this confession thing turned for the worst. it didn't really go my way- but i swear if you give me a chance, i'll properly confess next time-"

– your laugh escaped your mouth, you couldn't barely hold it anymore. "wait, why are you laughing-" you cut him off as you grasp for air— you couldn't stop smiling your cheeks started to hurt, "taesan... you've been too obvious. i've known for a while." which made him look down as he scratch the back of his neck, deeply embarrassed.

– "i like you too, just so you know." he immediately looks up, "really?" that sent him straight to fully crazy in love final level, if you could only hear his heart going crazy to the point that it might actually jump out, and suddenly, ta-da, pretty pink petals started falling down, the same as the one in dramas—except it doesn't make sense at all, well, since you're inside... it was actually just jaehyun sprinkling the petals, "sweet and romantic!"

– taesan couldn't stop himself from laughing at the fact you liked him too despite the ridiculous, awkward, and gone wrong confession. he realized that maybe it wasn't so bad at all, but rather memorable. he ended up leaning closer next to you, holding both of your hands, "i'll make it up, i swear," with the sweetest tone as he squeezes your palms. (STEP 10: it all worked out)
