❝ you can trust my friends, hyung. no one will find out about this later. ❞ his voice drips with reassurance and the utmost confidence but participating in a running man style scavenger hunt in the middle of the night in seoul when they’re both idols doesn’t seem like a wise choice under any circumstances. ❝ or are you disappointed it’s mostly guys? ❞ it’s an immature dig if he’s ever made one and he practically cackles, knowing full well the true concerns that lie with such a game. ❝ there’s no nudity either. i swear. unless you’re into that type of thing, then you can go to a bath house yourself. ❞

admittedly, hanbin doesn’t belong in the kitchen but he thinks he belongs in this moment as much as she does. ❝ i miss you, y’kno. you’re my best friend. you’re always gonna be my favorite girl so tell me. when you think it’s nothing, tell me anything. when you tell me there’s no tea so stop checking up on you, let’s brew some together. ❞

❝ maybe you should’ve thought about that before you asked bobby to cook, even if it was a joke. the guy has no chill. did you think he would know better? ❞ he laughs, even if the situation scares him a little too and he’s lacking in ‘chill’ himself. him and bobby are dumb and dumber after all. it speaks for all of ikon but hanbin admits him and bobby are an unstoppable duo of dumb and dumber. the moniker couldn’t be more perfect for them. still, there’s a reason the cooking mostly lies on jinhwan or yunhyeong. ❝ you can’t waste food either, hyung. ❞ his words are dripping with his smug tone, relief and amusement filtering into the sing-song syllables. ❝ but... i’ve been wondering... what is that? i don’t even recognize what he made you. what did you want? were you sleeptalking when you asked him? it doesn’t seem right. ❞ how appalled he is is painted across his features and he nearly cringes as he takes a fork and prods the food in question, if it is indeed edible after all. he isn’t sure, not in the slightest. 

the question had come up randomly, a passing thought he voiced immediately without hesitance, the result of comfort being around her; the result of a friendship formed in an abstract manner. simply put, it’s easy to talk to luna. no pressure, no forced conversation. natural. but the question is, admittedly, more controversial than he realizes at first. solos and sm come randomly and, in some groups, for members one wouldn’t expect it from. still, he’s surprised she hasn’t had one yet because, to him, it’s a question of when and the question of if shouldn’t exist with a voice like luna’s. ❝ i mean it. ❞ he repeats, the sentiment still dripping in his words. but he’d gladly say it again. hanbin does believe in her.  ❝ i’d help you if you wanted. ah, like how christian-sunbae helped amber-sunbae. it’d be nice, right? to work on something together. our companies don’t do that often though, i think. right? but i’d want to. if it’s you, i wouldn’t mind. ❞
